The Toffees' high pressing unsettled Spurs during the first half and they took the lead when Ross Barkley's free-kick sneaked past Hugo Lloris.
The Spurs keeper then came off in the 35th minute with a hamstring injury.
The visitors equalised when Argentina winger Lamela stooped to meet Kyle Walker's delivery from the right.

Had Everton's players been at 100% rather than "70% physically", as new manager Koeman suggested pre-match, then perhaps the outcome at Goodison Park would have been different.
The Toffees gave Tottenham barely any time on the ball in the opening period with their incessant pressing.
This style of football, seen under the Dutchman when he was at Southampton, has quickly been incorporated at his new club.
Young Spaniard Gerard Deulofeu, the lone man in attack with Romelu Lukaku injured, led by example as he badgered the Tottenham centre-backs Toby Aldeweireld and Jan Vertonghen when they had the ball.
Everton's goal came from a set-piece and Lloris might be disappointed that neither he nor his defence dealt with it, as Barkley's teasing ball in from out wide missed the heads it was intended for and bounced in beyond the reach of the France international.
The Spurs keeper did not appear to be struggling up until that point but came off 10 minutes before half-time with a hamstring problem.
Tottenham's England striker Harry Kane was playing at Goodison Park - although you would be forgiven for not noticing.
He played a lone attacking role for 56 minutes and hardly had a sniff of the ball, which was partly due to poor service and partly due to brilliant closing down by Everton.
It was a similar story for attacking midfielders Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen, who at least managed a shot on goal in the first half.
Manager Mauricio Pochettino finally decided to twist 11 minutes into the second half when he brought on new forward signing Vincent Janssen to support Kane. What that did was pull one of the Everton midfielders further forward and freed up more space in the middle third.
Kyle Walker exploited this new-found freedom in the 59th minute when he surged down the right and delivered a brilliant cross for Lamela who nodded in from close range.
Spurs should have won the game but were denied by two outstanding saves by Everton's new goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg.
Everton:
Idrissa Gueye - An absolute terrier in defensive midfield for Everton. A brilliant lunging dive in front of Alli in the second half which caused the England midfielder to rush his strike was a great example of his tenacity.
Maarten Stekelenburg - The Dutchman had a quiet game until the second half when he produced two tremendous saves. A one-handed stop denied Janssen at point-blank range and then he tipped over Lamela's deflected shot.
Tottenham:
Victor Wanyama - Similar to Gueye, in the sense the former Southampton player made his presence on the field known early on with a couple of challenges.
Vincent Janssen - His arrival on the pitch sparked a change in fortunes for Spurs and he was unlucky not to score. All in all, a good start to his Premier League career.
Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino: "The first half was difficult for us and we did not play well. Hugo Lloris got injured and that was a big impact on us. In the second half we played as we usually play.
"They scored early and they believed they could win the game. They were very motivated.
"Lloris has a hamstring injury and we need to assess tomorrow to see what happens.
"We tried to correct the problems we had in the first half. With another striker, the team felt comfortable. Vincent Janssen brought good energy on the team and he gives us a different option."
On transfers: "We may get one or two. We are very open, it is not easy to bring in players who can help us but we are trying."

Everton boss Ronald Koeman:
"We had a big, big chance close to half-time with Gerard Deulofeu. They had two big chances too but I think it is a fair result.
"The reaction of the crowd and fans was fantastic. I am very pleased about our first performance against a very good team.
"Ross Barkley's first goal is one of his qualities. I want the players to work hard and the pressing starts from the strikers. The players need to improve in that.
"One save from Maarten Stekelenburg was incredible in a key moment of the game."
On transfers: "I was focused on today's match but we are waiting for two or three new players and the board are working hard to bring them in. I don't talk about names. I hope we can sign two players next week."
Everton are away at West Brom at 15:00 BST next Saturday and Spurs host Crystal Palace at the same time in their first league game at White Hart Lane this season.

The singer was dropped by Simon Cowell's label in 2014, after a series of controversies, including the use of a homophobic slur in a freestyle rap.
He has since revealed he was crippled by anxiety and self-medicating with alcohol and drugs.
After being dropped, he had panic attacks and suicidal thoughts, but slowly turned things around.
He gave up drugs, which he said were exacerbating his anxiety, and managed to kick a gambling habit for good measure. At the start of this year, he began to write songs again, and signed a deal with the German arm of Sony music.
The first single, an impassioned ballad called Say You Won't Let Go, quickly rose to the top of the charts - at which point Cowell's Syco label got back in touch, and re-signed him for the UK.
"They said: 'Please let us back in. We want to be part of this amazing story'," Arthur recently told London's Evening Standard.
"It made sense to me. I'm a sucker for that story. Syco are notorious for dropping people, so what a compliment it is for them to re-sign me. So I thought, 'Let's do the full circle'."
Arthur's album, appropriately called Back From The Edge, was released last Friday. It sold 41,000 copies, beating artists like Elvis Presley and Michael Buble to reach number one.
"To have a body of work go to number one… it's the ultimate sense of achievement," said Arthur. "Thank you so much to everyone who has bought it."
The singer is only the second X Factor winner to top the chart with their second album, after Leona Lewis's Echo in 2009.
Other new entries in this week's album chart include Mapping The Rendezvous, the fifth album by Manchester indie band Courteeners, which debuts at four.
Madness chart at number five with Can't Touch Us Now, their first album in four years, which features a tribute to Amy Winehouse called Blackbird.
Singer-songwriter Jack Savoretti is new at number six with his third album Sleep No More, while Pointless host Alexander Armstrong enters at eight with his second album Upon A Different Shore.
Armstrong, a formal choral scholar, performs music by Vaughan Williams, Stephen Sondheim and Pink Floyd on the album, as well as playing oboe on two tracks.
Robbie Williams' greatest hits also returns to the top 10 for the first time in a decade, after being discounted on iTunes. The singer's new album, The Heavy Entertainment Show, is released on Friday and expected to be a high-placing new entry next week.
In the singles chart, Little Mix continue their reign at number one with the over-you anthem Shout Out To My Ex. With three weeks in pole position, it now ties with the band's 2015 hit Black Magic as their longest-ever chart topper.
However, sales of the song are down to 79,000, from a high of 111,000 last week, meaning next week's number one slot is up for grabs.
Challengers could include Clean Bandit's Rockabye, which climbs four places to number three; and Bruno Mars's 24K Magic, which makes its top 10 debut this week.
The highest new entry comes from last year's X Factor winner, Louisa Johnson, whose new single So Good lands at number 20.

General Motors reported a 5.2% drop in monthly sales, while Ford had an 8.4% decline in sales.
US vehicles sales are expected to be lower in 2016 than the record highs set last year.
Demand is still well above the lows suffered during the 2008-09 financial crisis, but market saturation is creating a slowdown.
GM forecast it would sell 17.3 million vehicles in 2016, down from 17.47 million in 2015.
GM's Chevrolet line of vehicles was the carmaker's best-seller, increasing its US market share by 0.4%.
GM said it hoped for strong sales in the second half of the year.
"We think the industry is well positioned for a sustainable high level of customer demand," said Mustafa Mohatarem, GM's chief economist.
Ford vehicles sales fell to 214,482 in August. The company saw a 2% drop in its truck sales compared to August last year, while its popular F-Series truck saw sales fall 6%.
An uptick in van sales by 13%, however, helped lift Ford's overall figures.
"Vans continue to be a bright spot for Ford - a consistent growth story for us this year," said Mark LaNeve, Ford's vice-president of US marketing, sales and service.
Fiat Chrysler bucked the downward trend reporting a 3% rise in vehicles sales for August. The boost came from strong demand for it Jeep sports utility vehicle and its Ram truck line which both had a 5% growth over last year.
The US division of Volkswagen reported an unsurprising 9% drop in sales as the carmaker continues to struggle with image issues after its emission scandal last year.
Heather Knight's side beat defending champions Australia by three runs in a thrilling World Cup group-stage match at Bristol on Sunday.
Almost 5,000 fans were at The County Ground, and Perry said: "The support is incredible.
"They're doing a great thing for cricket and we love coming over here and playing."
England, who lost their opening match in the competition to India, inflicted a first defeat of the tournament on Australia.
It means the sides occupy first and second in the group table respectively, with the top four qualifying for the semi-finals.
Perry, who is the world's second highest-ranked ODI all-rounder behind England's Sarah Taylor, added: "The standard of skill between both teams was incredible with bat, ball and in the field.
"I think a lot of the time the crowd really is a part of that by lifting the players.
"Everyone wants to be involved in this type of game."
England's next match is against fourth-placed New Zealand in Derby on Wednesday, before they face struggling West Indies at Bristol in their final group game on Saturday.
Australia are still to face key rivals for a semi-final place in India - who also sit on eight points - and South Africa, who are a point behind.

BBC Wales Sport has learned the Championship club are keen to sign the 29-year-old on a permanent deal this summer.
Immers was a deadline-day loan signing from Eredevisie club Feyenoord.
He has made a big impact at Cardiff, scoring five goals in 12 appearances to help keep Russell Slade's team in contention for a play-off spot.
Immers scored 31 goals in 100 League appearances for Feyenoord, having joined them from Den Haag in 2012.
Cardiff are under a Football League transfer embargo, but were able to sign players on loan during the January window.
The club hope the embargo will be lifted in the summer in time for them to sign Immers when his loan deal will expires.
Full-back Halfpenny has not played since injuring a knee playing for Wales against Italy in September 2015.
Toulon coach Bernard Laporte confirmed the British and Irish Lion will be in the 23 to face Montpellier.
"Yes, I can confirm that Leigh Halfpenny will play," said Laporte on Toulon's Twitter feed.
"He has trained and is ready."
Halfpenny had an operation on a knee injury suffered playing in Wales' final warm-up game, against Italy, before the 2015 World Cup.
The former Cardiff Blues player was scheduled to come back in April before suffering a setback which meant he was not considered for Wales' current tour of New Zealand.
Halfpenny has scored 508 points in 62 Tests, and was man of the series on the Lions' tour of Australia in 2013.
This compared with a loss of $230m a year earlier.
Record deliveries helped to offset rising expenses for next year's roll-out of the company's mass-market Model 3 saloon car.
Tesla delivered a record 24,821 cars during the quarter, more than 300 more than estimated.
Shares in the electric car maker jumped 3.76% in after-hours trading.
"The Tesla third quarter results reflect strong company-wide execution in many areas," said chief executive Elon Musk and chief financial officer Jason Wheeler in a statement.
"We set new records for vehicle production, deliveries and revenue."
Tesla, which went public in 2010, had not made a net quarterly profit since the first quarter of 2013.
In the previous two quarters it had missed production targets.

Tesla agrees deal to buy SolarCity
The firm is counting on the Model 3 to help it meet its 2018 goal of producing 500,000 cars annually.
The Model 3 is Tesla's attempt to widen its market appeal with a more affordable car. Its starting price is expected to be $35,000.
In its third quarter results Tesla did not provide an update on its planned $2.6bn acquisition of solar panel maker SolarCity.
Mr Musk, who is SolarCity's chairman and main shareholder, has said he plans to provide more financial details on the deal on 1 November before a vote by shareholders of both companies on 17 November.
Pope Francis spoke as he returned from the Philippines, where he met former street children abandoned by parents unable to afford to care for them.
Standing firm against artificial birth control, he said new life was "part of the sacrament of marriage".
But he said population experts advised three children per family.
Pope Francis raised eyebrows last week when, in the aftermath of the Charlie Hebdo killings in Paris, he said it was wrong to provoke others by insulting their religion.
He told journalists that his assistant could expect a punch if he ''cursed his mother''. At the same time, the Pope defended freedom of expression.
Speaking to journalists while heading back to Rome from the Philippines on Monday, Pope Francis was asked what he would say to families who had more children than they could afford because the Church forbids artificial contraception.
He replied with an unexpected turn of phrase: "Some people think that - excuse my expression here - that in order to be good Catholics we have to be like rabbits."
"No. Parenthood is about being responsible. This is clear."
The Pope said he knew many ways allowed by the Catholic Church that could ensure families only had as many children as they wished.
He cited the case of one woman he had met who had had seven children by Caesarean section and was expecting her eighth - a pregnancy he said was irresponsible.
"She said, 'I trust in God.' But God gave us the means to be responsible," the Pope said.
But he added that for the poorest, a child was a treasure for its mother and father.
To a separate question, the Pope said that most importantly, no outside institution should impose its views on families.
Progressive, Western ideas about birth control and gay rights were increasingly being imposed by groups, institutions or nations there, often as a condition for development aid, he said.
"Every people deserves to conserve its identity without being ideologically colonised," the Pope said.
During his trip to the Philippines the Pope defended traditional Vatican teaching, which opposes artificial contraception.
On Sunday, an estimated six million people attended an outdoor mass he celebrated in the capital, Manila.

In 1913, an explosion killed 439 miners and a rescuer at Universal Colliery in Senghenydd, Caerphilly county.
About £115,000 - £12m in today's money - was unspent from a relief fund set up for victims' families, according to records kept in Swansea.
The Aber Valley Heritage Group is trying to find out what happened to it.
It was established by a committee of volunteers to preserve the area's history and helped establish the National Mining Memorial and Garden in Senghenydd in 2013.
At the Richard Burton Archives in Swansea, the group discovered an indenture of contract drawn up in 1914 by trustees of the relief fund.
These included the lord mayors of London and Cardiff, politicians and dignitaries and was the last known documentation of the cash.
It states that, of £127,000, raised: "The sum of £12,416, fifteen shillings and one penny has been expended in making temporary weekly grants to men injured and to the widows' children and other dependents."
The remainder was paid to three Cardiff banks - £19,000 to the National Provincial, £74,000 to the London and Provisional and £20,000 to Lloyds Bank.
The group is trying to find out if the money still exists and whether Senghenydd would be entitled to it.
Gill Jones, secretary of the Aber Valley Heritage Group, said: "I went first of all to the British Bankers' Association, and then wrote to the archivists at the three banks which were involved to see if they could help us.
"The final result was that because we did not have account numbers they could not trace the account.
"We have also since found out that because it is a business account and not a personal account they cannot help us to trace it."
The group said it had also spoken to Wayne David MP - but he came up against a "blank wall" after he tried to investigate.
Chairman Jack Humphreys said: "If anyone can help us to trace whatever is left and whether we are entitled to it that would be very, very useful.
"We had some money left over after the creation of the memorial garden, but that money is slowly running out. We need to maintain the garden and keep the museum going.
"We cannot afford at the moment to employ anyone, it is all done by volunteers."
The group plans to visit the Richard Burton Archives in Swansea, where it found the indenture, and is also going to speak to the county archivist in Cardiff.
BBC Wales has also contacted the Unclaimed Assets Register, run by the information services firm Experian, which is looking into the matter.
Twenty20 cricket in England and Wales has sparked plenty of debate this year, with a new city-based eight-team tournament getting the nod for 2020.
But for now, the T20 Blast is king.
Star names from overseas and home shores are set to feature and the majority of games will be played at the height of summer.
BBC Sport takes a closer look at how things are set to pan out over the next couple of months.
Defending champions Northamptonshire Steelbacks go into the competition having reached Finals Day three times in the last four seasons.
In 2016, Alex Wakely's side beat Durham by four wickets in the final - guided by Josh Cobb's innings of 80.
The Steelbacks may have fewer star names than some of the other counties, but still have a number of potential match-winners such as explosive openers Ben Duckett and Richard Levi, destructive all-rounder Rory Kleinveldt and South Africa's mystery spinner Tabraiz Shamsi for three games.
"We've kind of used the underdog tag quite a bit, I think it's run past its sell-by date now," head coach David Ripley told BBC Radio Northampton.
"We're recognised as a good team, we are a good team, we've always known that, but it's been nice to be under the radar a little bit.
"Derbyshire will be absolutely sprinting down the M1 to take us on on Friday and show they can beat the champions, and we've got that to deal with through all our group games."
Captain Alex Wakely added: "We're Northampton - people always write us off. The teams don't but the pundits often do.
"We're backing ourselves. We've got pretty much the same team as last season. It's a format we know really well and we've got guys in good form.
"We've got a lot of experience and guys who have played all over the world. It's about winning the crucial moments, there are always one or two during these matches and you have to win those to go far in the tournament."
Favourites Surrey begin their campaign with a mouth-watering match against Essex Eagles under the lights at Chelmsford on Friday.
The One-Day Cup finalists have an array of international talent including England's Roy and recently-capped Tom Curran, Australia pair Aaron Finch and Moises Henriques and Sri Lanka legend Kumar Sangakkara.
Former England batsman Kevin Pietersen also returns on 19 July.
"The team we have on paper is extremely exciting so hopefully we can light up a few games," Roy, 26, told BBC Radio London.
"There's some serious firepower - it's a great experience to share the field with people who have done it on a big stage and done it so often and been successful doing it.
"There's no difference between an international game or our T20 nights. The crowd is phenomenal, the fireworks, the music, they do it really well. It lifts us a huge amount. To have 24,000 people going berserk, it really does up your game."
The competition is split into two groups - North and South - and each team plays 14 matches in the group stage.
Sides will play home and away against six opponents and face two teams just once.
The group stage is played in a six-week block, starting on Friday and finishing on 18 August, with the majority of matches from Thursday until Sunday.
All four quarter-finals are played in the week starting Monday, 21 August before Finals Day takes place at Edgbaston on Saturday, 2 September.

Looking to build on their three straight wins, skipper Joe Leach led from the front again, taking 3-36.
Jack Shantry (3-54), Ed Barnard and Josh Tongue shared the other wickets.
After Brett D'Oliveira went for 35, fellow opener Daryl Mitchell's unbeaten 52 helped the visitors close on 108-2.
Fresh from their 243-run opening stand to set up last week's innings win against Derbyshire, the pair this time put on 75 before Nathan Buck removed D'Oliveira's middle stump, then Rory Kleinveldt pinned Tom Fell leg before wicket for a six-ball duck.
Worcestershire, who have a five-game Championship winning streak going back to last season, have won their last four meetings with Northants.
New captain Leach, who took career-best match figures of 10-122 when the two sides met at New Road in April, now has 25 wickets for the season - from only seven innings.
Following an uncontested toss on a cloudless day in Northampton, the home side were playing their first game of Championship cricket since that match finished on 21 April, prior to the One-Day Cup break.
Northants captain Alex Wakely told BBC Radio Northampton:
"It's a pretty disappointing day. They bowled really well this morning, in partnerships and dried the scoreboard.
"We were probably going to bat anyway because it looked like a bat first pitch.
"We bowled poorly to start with but we did put some runs on the board and now we've got to come backpon day two and try to stay in the game."
Worcestershire assistant coach Matt Mason told BBC Hereford & Worcester:
"It was a really good day for us. We had a lot of discussion about what we should do. The pitch had a lot of dead grass but we took the brave decision to bowl first.
"The ball seemed to go through periods of doing something. The key was just sticking to our plans and we got our rewards.
"The guys bowled very very well and then, to bat like we have, we've put ourselves in a great position."
As ever with legal rulings, the devil is firmly in the detail.
It appears that the judges of the Hague district court made a distinction between the 300 Bosnian Muslims who were expelled from the UN compound before air support was requested and those, the vast majority, who were expelled later and subsequently murdered by Serb forces.
Why is the issue of air support important? Because the failure to provide it was held to be a direct responsibility of the UN - not the Netherlands Dutchbat peacekeeping force and, standing behind it, the state.
Relatives of the victims, campaigning as the "Mothers of Srebrenica", believe this is an artificial distinction and have already said they will appeal.
The Dutch international criminal defence lawyer, Jozef Rammfelt, said the judgment had the potential to be of great significance.
"Admittedly, this is a ruling of a lower court, but it follows a ground-breaking judgment of the Netherlands Supreme Court in 2013 that the state is liable to pay compensation for the victims of genocide," he said.
"This set an important precedent that countries providing troops for UN peacekeeping operations can be held legally responsible for their actions. Other states around the world will have to take note and I imagine they will think twice about their legal liabilities."
In the context of international law, this is yet another development in an ongoing debate about the UN's relationship with the conventions of international humanitarian law.
According to the UN, when states assign troops to peacekeeping duties, the forces answer solely to the Security Council.
And the UN Security Council is not a party to the Geneva Conventions and its various protocols.
For at least two decades, this has provoked tension with bodies such as the International Committee of the Red Cross, and in the absence of a controlling international legal regime and with sometimes ambiguous mandates, the burden of responsibility falls on field commanders on the ground.
The Hague court ruling means that there is a growing acceptance that an individual state can be held liable for deaths in a UN-mandated operation.
Professor Philippe Sands, of University College, London, argues that while the Srebrenica massacre has been accepted by international jurisprudence as an act of genocide "it is potentially very significant that the Hague court has ruled that the Dutchbat force should have been aware that a genocide might be perpetrated".
Prof Sands is representing Croatia in a suit against Serbia for genocide during the 1991-95 conflict.
After last year's Supreme Court ruling that the Dutch state was liable for the deaths of three Bosnian Muslim men expelled from the UN compound and subsequently killed, the government offered 20,000 euros ($27,000;£16,000) to each of the victims' relatives.
This latest ruling will require a far larger amount to be paid out. But it is the consequences for existing and future UN peacekeeping operations where the true impact may be felt.

Ashby School was given ex-pupil Lt Col Philip Bent's medal by his mother in 1923 to "serve as a lasting stimulant".
The school said a pavilion would be a "fitting way to honour this sentiment".
But relative Keith Willis said it did not have the right to sell the VC, Britain's highest military honour.
Lt Col Bent, who served in the 9th Battalion of the Royal Leicestershire Regiment, was killed in action in Belgium in October 1917, aged 26.
The VC and four other medals awarded to Lt Col Bent were donated to the school, formerly Ashby Boys' Grammar.
In a letter to the school in 1923, Mrs Bent wrote: "I'm hoping that they will serve as a lasting stimulant to high ideals to following generations."
Lt Col Bent's great-nephew, Mr Willis, 54, from Lymington, Hampshire, said he was "outraged and disappointed" by the school's plans to sell the five medals, which could fetch up to £250,000.
"My great-grandmother put the medals in the school's care as a lasting monument to him," he said. "As far as I'm concerned, it doesn't own them.
"The school needs to prove ownership of the medals and I will seek legal action to gain ownership, if I need to, and stop them."
The school's head teacher Eddie Green said: "The bottom line is the medal has been for 44 years hidden in a vault and hasn't actually contributed a great deal.
"We want to make sure the proceeds from the medal contribute an enormous amount to the future generations of this area and... by selling it we can find a wonderful tribute to Philip Bent."
The dispute with the train operator was over the dismissal of Glen Watson, a conductor on the service.
Transpennine Express said Mr Watson's employment had now ended on "mutually accepted terms".
The RMT said all local protests were over and thanked members for their support during the dispute.
Three 24-hour strikes had been held.
The dispute started when Mr Watson was dismissed after a train-surfing incident at Cleethorpes station.
Transpennine Express said the conductor did not force the train to stop and deal with the matter properly.
The train operator has agreed to discuss a new policy at a joint safety committee for dealing with such problems, said the RMT.
The advert, believed to be India's first gay matrimonial ad, was placed by his mother, Padma Iyer, in Mumbai's Mid-Day newspaper on Tuesday.
Mr Iyer, a prominent LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) activist, told the BBC that his mother, like "any other in the world", was worried about his wedding prospects and decided to place a newspaper advert.
"She is going through the proposals, she will draw a shortlist and tell me who to meet. I am looking forward to meet them. I am hoping to find a partner now," he said.
In India arranged marriages are preferred over love matches and prominent newspapers daily carry thousands of ads for those looking for brides or grooms.
But Mr Iyer's mother's attempt to place an ad to find a "groom" for her gay son raked up a controversy in a country where homosexuality is still a crime.
In 2009, the Delhi high court in a landmark ruling decriminalised homosexual acts, but in December 2013, the Supreme Court reversed the order. It was seen as a massive blow to LGBT activists in the country.
The campaign for gay rights continues to face stiff opposition from religious groups who claim that homosexuality is "against Indian culture".
Mr Iyer says before Mid-Day agreed to carry the ad, his mother had approached three prominent newspapers - they all turned it down saying publishing it could invite legal trouble.
He says he is aware of the legal issues and what the law of the land says about same-sex marriages.
"It was an innocent attempt by a mother to find a partner for her son. She did what any other would have done. I do not understand the controversy over this advert."
The ad has evoked mixed reactions on Twitter and among the gay community.
Activists who support him say "it's Mr Iyer's right to place an ad in newspapers".
"He placed an advert for a partner and it's perfectly normal. I understand that same-sex marriages are illegal in India, but then it's also a reality that thousands of LGBT people live in India. Are we going to pretend that gay people don't exist or kill them all?" asks Delhi-based activist Monish Kabir Malhotra.
Mr Iyer is also getting support from Twitter users.
But there are others who have criticised the ad - they say it is "discriminatory" as it says that applicants from the Iyer caste - an upper-class Brahmin community from southern India - will be preferred.
Mr Iyer denies the charge: "Like most people my mother thought that a person from familiar surroundings would be better. But look at the ad, it says 'caste no bar'. Our family is multicultural. My mother's sister is married to a Muslim."
Calcutta-based activist Anindya Hajra argues that Mr Iyer's advert does not reflect the reality of the gay community in India.
"He lives in a big city and is a well-known activist and can afford such an advert. But LGBT people living in other towns and cities cannot think about it," he says.

The report detailing claims by 600 people will go before the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse.
At a preliminary hearing earlier, the Shirley Oaks Survivors Association was given "core participant status".
Its leader Raymond Stevenson said child abuse in the Lambeth Council-run homes had been a "reversal to the dark ages".
The abuse had resulted in the "shedding of thousands of tears", he said, and called it a "shame on the establishment" and "institutionalised evil".
The Shirley Oaks survivors accused the police of failing to deal with the allegations adequately, resulting in a cover up.
It is alleged two convicted children's homes abusers were volunteer police officers.
The group said it might request several barristers and solicitors to reflect the number of complainants it was representing, the High Court heard.
It plans to make a formal presentation to the wide-ranging inquiry chaired by Justice Lowell Goddard, along with providing video evidence from members.
The counsel to the inquiry, Ben Emmerson QC, told the hearing, at Royal Courts of Justice, the investigation would be "extremely complex... spanning many years and many institutions in Lambeth".
It is one of 13 initial inquiries announced, including investigations into abuse within the Church, allegations against the late peer Lord Janner, abuse at children's homes in Rochdale and claims of a Westminster paedophile ring.
Mr Emmerson said in the case of Lambeth, there had been claims that a former Labour minister, Lord Paul Boateng, had been named as an associate of one abuser, John Carroll, who was convicted in 1966 and 1999 of multiple charges.
The BBC's Newsnight programme recently presented information suggesting that Lord Boateng visited the Angell Road children's home, run by Mr Carroll, signing a visitors' book.
It also claimed someone identifying himself as Lord Boateng asked if he could help to resolve a row which followed Carroll's application to foster children.
Mr Emmerson said no evidence received by the inquiry so far suggested any impropriety on Lord Boateng's behalf. The peer denies knowing Mr Carroll.
A key aspect of the inquiry will be whether an organised paedophile ring infiltrated both the children's homes at Shirley Oaks, and Lambeth Council's social services.
Mr Emmerson said there was evidence a second paedophile lived at Mr Carroll's Angell Road home, when he was running it, and that a third paedophile, Leslie Paul, was employed in children's services at the same time.
Paul was convicted in December of what a jury heard was "vile group sexual abuse".
The Lambeth inquiry will examine the actions of police, prosecutors and the Department of Health, and assess a number of past inquiries into the allegations.
The inquiry is considering to what extent hearings should be televised.
Police said the "mainly intact" torso was discovered in Tolka Valley Park, in Finglas, on Monday.
Nolan, originally from Finglas, had served jail sentences for rape and burglary. He disappeared in November 2010 aged 46.
A dismembered arm, which washed up on Dublin's Dollymount beach in 2011, was later confirmed to be his.
Gardaà (Irish police) began searching the Finglas park on Saturday 1 April after new information came to light.
Supt William Carolan told the media on Tuesday that police notified the state pathologist as soon as the remains were found.
The torso has been removed to the city mortuary where a post-mortem examination is being carried out.
Supt Carolan said they could not yet confirm that the torso was that of Nolan and DNA analysis was required.
Nolan's family has been informed and a police family liaison officer is in contact with them.
The dig will continue for about 10 days, with about half of the site already searched.
Osaka, 19, pushed Williams hard but the 37-year-old's experience eventually told as she won 7-6 (7-3) 6-4 in one hour and 25 minutes.
It is the 15th time the American has reached the last 16 at Wimbledon.
The 10th seed will next face another teenager, 19-year-old Ana Konjuh, for a place in the quarter-finals.
Croat Konjuh is the youngest player into the fourth round of the women's singles draw after she beat Slovakian eighth seed Dominika Cibulkova 7-6 (7-3) 3-6 6-4.
Neither Osaka nor Konjuh were born when Williams made her Wimbledon debut in 1997.

Simona Halep remains in contention to become world number one for the first time after beating Peng Shuai of China in straight sets.
Halep, second in the rankings behind Angelique Kerber, won 6-4 7-6 (9-7).
The Romanian needs to make the semi-finals at least to have a chance of moving to the top of the rankings.
Halep's opponent in the last 16 will be Victoria Azarenka,who beat Britain's Heather Watson to progress.
Former world number one Azarenka of Belarus is making her Grand Slam return at Wimbledon after giving birth in December.
Germany's Kerber, meanwhile, plays American Shelby Rogers for a place in the last 16 on Saturday.
If Halep does reach the last four then Kerber needs to repeat her 2016 run to the final to retain hope of staying top of the rankings.
Jelena Ostapenko continued her recent good form by reaching the last 16 at Wimbledon for the first time.
The French Open champion beat Camila Giorgi 7-5 7-5 to set up a meeting with Elina Svitolina, the Ukrainian fourth seed who beat Carina Witthoft 6-1 7-5.
The point earned at Stark's Park stretched Hibs' lead at the Scottish Championship summit to seven points.
But an incensed Lennon insisted his players lacked dynamism, pace and confidence, and their performance "totally disrespected the opponent".
"We were an absolute disgrace - a disgrace," the head coach told BBC Scotland.
"We had the right colour (yellow) of jersey on today. You can't turn up and play for 30 minutes. We were abject.
"We are going for a title here and trying to extend our lead but we totally disrespected the opponent. I am not happy with that at all, and that is creeping in far too often."
Hibs fell behind to former Hearts midfielder Ryan Stevenson's half-volley in Kirkcaldy, and needed a superb free-kick from top scorer Jason Cummings to secure a point - a goal "raging" Lennon could not bring himself to celebrate.
His side take on Edinburgh rivals Hearts in Wednesday's Scottish Cup fifth-round replay, and although Lennon believes his players will deliver on derby day, he slammed their attitude against Rovers.
"We will be alright against Hearts," he said. "They will raise their game against Hearts but that is not the priority.
"Don't tell me we've got good players here - yeah, we have, but they have to be consistent. The overall performance, the lack of physicality, belief and urgency, we just never turned up and played tippy-tappy football. Against a better opponent we would have got done today.
"I thought they had learned their lesson from the home draw against Ayr United (in their previous Championship outing).
"We can raise our game for Hearts at Tynecastle, where we played strongly and concentrated and were physical, but there was none of that today until the last half-hour, when we were excellent.
"You can't give a team an hour start and a goal up at any level. I am not happy."
With a seven-point buffer between Hibs and second-placed Dundee United, Lennon concedes complacency may be affecting his players' performances.
"It might be," he admitted. "It may be immaturity. The boys have got to take it on board. It wasn't good enough last season. We lost eight games last season.
"And they are going out with the same attitude that yeah, we can play good football. We can't. I know a good football team. I know what they can do.
"They have to earn the right to do that and we didn't. We played like strangers out there. No-one took any responsibility. It may seem like harsh words but I'm the manager. I have to set standards and I will have to look at my own performance as well. I didn't expect that."
The head coach, who succeeded Alan Stubbs last June, insists none of his players will have grounds for complaint if they are not selected for Wednesday's showdown at Easter Road.
"They will all want to play," Lennon said. "They didn't want to play today, some of them.
"So if they are not in the team for Wednesday they can knock on my door all they want. I will just show them the first hour of the game."
Jeff Henry, 39, was left in a critical condition on 6 June and died at Addenbrooke's Hospital on Friday.
Cambridgeshire Police said a 36-year-old man from County Galway had been arrested at Holy Head Port, Anglesey.
He is currently being held on suspicion of murder at Parkside Police Station in Cambridge.
Police are continuing to appeal for witnesses.
A police spokesman said Mr Henry, of Cambridge, was seen running away from two men along Campkin Road in the direction of Arbury Road just moments before the attack.
Detectives believe he was subject to two assaults that night, one at about 00:45 BST and another about 25 minutes beforehand.
It is thought Mr Henry might have attended the Strawberry Fair before the attacks.
Det Insp Alan Page said: "Jeff was a relatively young man with plenty of his life left to live and enjoy. He is a well-known local man who was subjected to a sustained and brutal attack.
"I believe members of the local community will have information concerning why Jeff was attacked and I would urge them to come forward."
His purple bicycle, spectacles and mobile telephone have not been traced, police say.
The Higher Education Funding Council for England (Hefce) says while there is isolated work going on in individual institutions, it is "fragmented".
As a result there is a lack of detailed evidence on which interventions achieve the best results for different groups.
However, access to university continues to improve for disadvantaged students.
Hefce analysis suggests the participation rate for these students was four percentage points higher than the results of GCSEs in 2009 would have predicted.
Also, the non-continuation rate for full-time students has improved from a rate of 14% in 2003-04 to 10% in 2013-14.
The number of disabled students going to university has increased from just over 16,700 in 2003-04 to just over 51,300 in 2012-13.
Hefce also wants to find out why some ethnic minority groups are more likely to underachieve in their degrees.
Its report - Delivering opportunities for students and maximising their success - said: "There is isolated work across institutions to address differential outcomes, but it is fragmented and not well evidenced.
"There is a need for a joined up sector wide response to secure a step change that will maximise outcomes for all students."
Hefce chief executive Prof Madeleine Atkins said: "Universities and colleges have already made significant progress in terms of widening access and improving retention for students whose talents and skills risk being overlooked.
"To build on this success to date, we should now focus on establishing which interventions are working most effectively to educate the graduates the country needs.
"Hefce will work with universities and colleges to implement methods to evaluate what kinds of activities work best across the whole student lifecycle and into employment."
Fair Access to Higher Education director Prof Les Ebdon said: "Hefce is right to point out that more needs to be done to better understand the evidence of what works to improve outcomes for groups of students who don't do as well as their peers.
"Most importantly, universities and colleges need to translate their significant commitment in this area into improved outcomes.
"In line with the national strategy for access and student success, we will continue to work closely with Hefce and the whole sector to improve the evidence around fair access and support effective practice by universities and colleges.
"This should help ensure that all students - irrespective of background - can truly fulfil their potential."
The report follows an announcement from Hefce on Wednesday that it was cutting university funding grants for the academic years 2014-15 and 2015-16.
This is in the wake of the government's decision to reduce spending by £150m.
It will connect the Slyfield Industrial Estate with Clay Lane, in Jacobs Well, Surrey, and cost an estimated £7.3m.
Residents have said while improving access to the estate, it will cross green belt land and a flood plain, with low lying properties at risk of floods.
Guildford Borough Council said the link road would attract new businesses, and help retain and create new jobs.
It said the industrial estate, north of Guildford, was an important economic hub providing more than 2,000 jobs.
As part of a consultation process, which closes on 6 November, there will be four drop-in events around the borough during October allowing people to view the plans.
Members of the project team will also be available at the events to discuss specific aspects of the proposals and listen to comments.
The council plans to submit a planning application early next year, and hopes to have final approval by the summer.
Ministers have already said they want to see this model take over the Wales and Borders franchise from Arriva Trains when the contract comes under Welsh government control in 2018.
Mrs Hart also said she would like more power over Network Rail.
"I don't think the model we've had previously worked," she added.
In an interview with The Wales Report with Huw Edwards, Mrs Hart says one option would be to place an effective cap on the profits a franchise operator could make.
She added: "I hope to have a roadmap available by the time we go to recess in July/August to show how we're taking this forward".
A spokesman for Arriva Trains Wales said the company is "looking forward to the opportunity of working with the Welsh government to implement their future plans for transport in Wales."
Mrs Hart said Network Rail, which answers to the Department for Transport in London, has been responsible for "massive delays" and "escalating costs".
A Network Rail spokesman said: "As with any investment, we go to the market to deliver all projects in the most timely and cost effective way possible.
"As a national company, we are often able to leverage economies of scale given the number of projects we are delivering across the rail network."

Lookman was born in England but can play for Nigeria through his parents.
He has already played for England Under-19s and U20s but can switch allegiances because he is yet to play for the senior side.
"He has Nigerian parents and we'd need to speak to him first," Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) official Bitrus Bewarang told BBC Sport.
Lookman moved to Everton from Charlton earlier this month in a deal that could eventually cost £11m.
He made a goalscoring debut in the side's 4-0 win over Manchester City on Sunday and has caught the attention of Bewarang, who succeeded the late Shaibu Amodu as NFF's technical director in July.
"I saw him against Manchester City and I was excited to see a young player of Nigerian descent shine, so I thought why not," said Bewarang.
"It is the duty of the national coach [Gernot Rohr] to invite players to the national team, but we will help him check Lookman's eligibilty."
Nigeria have previously succeeded in snapping up former England youth internationals like Sone Aluko, Victor Moses, Shola Ameobi and Alex Iwobi for the Super Eagles.
Bewerang is hoping that such an illustrious list could help convince Lookman to play for the three-time African champions.
"We've managed to get players like Moses and Iwobi in the past and Lookman will be a great addition to the national team if we got him," Bewerang added.
"We have a young side, the new coach is building a strong squad and having some youngsters from the Premier League [Kelechi Iheanacho and Alex Iwobi] could help his decision.
"I am not desperate to see this happen but we will give it a shot."
Lookman scored 12 goals in 49 games for Charlton, who were relegated to League One at the end of last season.
He won five England Under-19 caps before making three appearances for the Under-20s, scoring once.
Another worker is said to have been hurt clearing ordnance in Ramadi, 60 miles (100km) west of Baghdad.
Iraqi forces backed by coalition air strikes retook the city from IS last December, but mine-clearing has to be completed before residents can return.
The Foreign Office said it was in contact with Janus following the death.
According to the AFP news agency, the incident was also confirmed by the mayor of Ramadi, although he did not specify the nationality of the wounded contractor.
The incident is said to have taken place in the al-Malaab neighbourhood of Ramadi, the capital of the western Anbar province.
A Foreign Office spokesman said: "We are in contact with the employer of a British national who has died in Iraq and have offered our support at this difficult time."
Dozens of Iraqi civilians have died in explosions while trying to return to their homes in the city.
Janus Global Operations began its work in April after being awarded the contract to clear thousands of devices and booby-traps left by IS.
It confirmed the death of the British contractor without providing further information.
Secret filming by the BBC's Panorama programme this month showed vulnerable residents being pinned down, slapped, doused in water and taunted.
An e-mail from the hospital manager last November said "five Safeguarding concerns" appeared to have arisen.
It is thought this may refer to concerns raised with the council's Safeguarding Vulnerable Adults panel.
The e-mail, sent by the manager to support workers and nurses and seen by the BBC, said patients had complained of ill treatment.
It said they had allegedly been teased, forced to swallow medication, threatened, restrained when it was not warranted, and called nicknames which other patients then used.
The e-mail read: "My worry is that these may be happening and some of you do not feel comfortable to challenge what you see.
"I have always said (you have it now again in black and white) I do not condone ANY practice that is less than bespoke for this type of service."
"Safeguarding concerns" would normally refer to matters referred to the Safeguarding Vulnerable Adults panel at the local authority - South Gloucestershire Council.
The leader of the council's Labour group, Councillor Andy Perkins, told the BBC he was really surprised he had not been told about any concerns when he presided over the social services committee last November.
The private home, which is taxpayer-funded, is to be investigated by the Care Quality Commission.
On Wednesday, Labour health spokeswoman Baroness Thornton added her voice to calls for a public inquiry into the alleged abuse.
Speaking in the House of Lords during an urgent question on the subject, she told peers she wanted a wide-ranging, independent review to "shine a light" on events and allow lessons to be learned.
Police this week arrested two women, aged 22 and 21, and three men, aged 58, 40 and 28. Last week, a woman and three men were arrested and all nine have been released on police bail.
Hospital owner Castlebeck has apologised and suspended 13 employees - including the manager who wrote the e-mail.
The patients filmed by Panorama have been moved to safety.
I was sent out straight away and jumped in a cab to Liverpool Street.
I'm guessing I got there at about 09.30. From what I remember, it seemed pretty normal when I arrived. There wasn't much of an indication that anything had happened.
Slowly though, commuters who had been caught up in the blast started walking out of the station. They were covered in soot and looked completely bewildered.
A few ambulances were there but then the mobile phones went down and long queues started forming outside phone boxes. Eventually more police arrived and the cordons went up.
While all this was happening the emergency services and underground staff were dealing with horrendous scenes inside.
The bombings changed London and the organisations which dealt with them.
In the following weeks and months there was some criticism of the way the emergency services dealt with the blasts.
The main concern was poor radio communications in the tunnels which saw some workers having to shuttle messages up and down the tunnels on foot.
The London Assembly called the radios "inadequate" or "non-existent".
Some ambulances were also sent to the wrong locations due to a lack of co-ordination at the stations.
There were other delays at the bomb sites as some emergency services were not told if the track power was off and without that clarification they could not go on the tracks.
Since 2005 there have been changes at London Underground (LU) and London Fire Brigade, the biggest of which is probably the introduction of new radio systems.
LU said: "These systems give every Tube staff member a personal radio and the ability to contact any other. They also allow the broadcast of centralised messages from control rooms to any number of staff across the network.
"There are no gaps in coverage above or below ground."
There has also been a big re-organisation in incident management. Key command areas - power, communication systems for radios and British Transport Police - are now located next to each other in the same command centre.
In 2005 they were in different buildings across London.
The management structures at Transport for London (TfL) has also been aligned to those in the emergency services with gold and silver commands - gold is in the control room with silver on site.
That should mean there is a senior person on location to co-ordinate the emergency services in any emergency situation.
And crucially each meeting point at Tube stations now has a unique number to enable a fast response.
LU said: "We have a clear and marked rendezvous point outside every station. Each one has a unique code that is known by us and the emergency services, and this is issued by London Underground Control Centre when co-ordinating the response to any incident, giving the exact co-ordinates of the rendezvous."
Previously track engineers who dealt with technical issues at an incident got stuck in traffic.
Now they are driven by a police officer which means they can use blue lights and arrive at the same time as the emergency services as part of the Emergency Response Unit created in 2012.
There are also many more training exercises which aim to improve co-ordination.
There are, however, big changes on the underground with staff numbers due to be reduced by around 850.
The Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union said it remains concerned that reducing staff will affect emergency response, but LU disputes that.
The RMT said: "Once again the union will be raising with the employers the essential and safety-critical role that our members have to fulfil in terms of being the eyes and ears on our trains, the underground, buses and ferry services.
"They are also the pivotal factor in safe and efficient evacuation in the event of an alert being raised.
"We now expect cuts to those staff numbers to be halted and reversed by London Underground and the train companies."
The company has previously said the weak pound had attracted overseas shoppers to its British stores.
Burberry, best known for its trench coats and distinctive checks, said like-for-like retail sales rose by 3% in the second half of the year.
However, growth slowed in the final three months and sales fell in the "highly promotional" US market.
American shoppers have been taking advantage of the strong dollar to buy abroad, but that has hit demand in the US itself.
Like-for-like retail sales, which strip out stores open for less than a year, rose by 3% in the third quarter, but by only 2% in the final quarter up to 31 March.
Total retail sales rose by 3% to £1.3bn.
However, overall total revenues, which include its wholesale and licensing revenues, fell by 1% to £1.6bn after the impact of favourable currency moves was stripped out.
Earlier this month, Burberry announced it was going to stop developing its fragrance and beauty products in-house and instead franchise the business to US cosmetics group Coty.
That decision was a key reason for the fall in wholesale revenues, as the group has been running down its stocks of beauty products.
"In an uncertain environment, we continue to take action to strengthen the brand and reposition Burberry for growth," said chief executive Christopher Bailey.
"The outperformance of fashion and the strong customer response to new products underline our renewed creative momentum."
George Salmon, equity analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown, said: "UK sales continue to surge ahead, as credit-card wielding tourists with expensive tastes flock to these shores to take advantage of sterling's weakness and pick up a currency-induced bargain.
"However, as ever with currency, there are two sides to the coin. The dollar's strength is holding back sales in the US," he added.
Burberry has plans to open a new £50m manufacturing and weaving plant in Leeds and relocate staff from its existing Castleford and Keighley sites.
In the wake of last year's Brexit vote, chairman John Peace told investors at the company's annual meeting that the opening of the new facility might be delayed, as the company considered the implications of the referendum.
Burberry said on Wednesday it had no update to that position.
However, the company said its "commitment to manufacturing in Yorkshire" was unchanged, but that it was "taking a moment to think through" the plans.
Burberry's chief finance officer Julie Brown said: "Clearly, with the election announced yesterday, there is a period of instability as we go through Brexit, and that's a concern for any global business... We're interested in understanding what the tariffs will be on exports from the UK."
But she added, "we still have a strong UK economy". | Erik Lamela's second-half header salvaged a point for Tottenham against an Everton side who impressed in their first league game under Ronald Koeman.

Keith Curle's side took time exerting their influence against an Alex side who are now without a win in seven games, but who were worthy of a point.
Cumbrians keeper Mark Gillespie pushed Billy Bingham's 25-yard blast to safety, while Cooper went close to picking out the far corner with an angled drive after a teasing run.
Cooper volleyed past the post as Crewe offered most of the threat in the first-half.
It was somewhat against the run of play when Miller handed Carlisle a 35th-minute lead with a clinical finish across Ben Garratt into the bottom corner after latching onto a lofted pass from Luke Joyce.
Charlie Wyke's header, which was tipped over by the keeper and Jason Kennedy's wild drive over the bar suggested the Cumbrians were going to take cotrol. But they were taken aback by Cooper's equaliser on the stroke of half-time with the midfielder's free-kick deceiving Gillespie at the near post.
The game ebbed and flowed in the second period with Crewe closest to snatching the win.
Reggie Lambe's goalbound effort cannoned off his own man, but at the other end Cooper and Chris Dagnall were denied by last-ditch defending, Alex Kiwomya drove just wide and Gillespie parried efforts from Charlie Kirk and James Jones.

The European Central Bank is expected to announce this week that it's going to go into the financial markets to buy substantial amounts of government debt using newly created money - a policy known as quantitative easing, or QE.
There has been mounting speculation that the ECB is preparing to act along these lines, and there will be serious disappointment in financial markets if that does not happen.
The problem the ECB wants to tackle is inflation that is too low. Indeed last month it turned into deflation, or falling prices.
Deflation is partly a symptom of the eurozone's persistent economic weakness. But it could also aggravate it.
Deflation tends to be bad for debtors. The problem is that their incomes may fall, but their debt payments - if they debt involves fixed interest rates - may not.
With governments, falling prices and incomes will hit revenue from income tax and VAT. Most of their debt payments are at fixed rates.
There have been warnings that deflation could reignite the eurozone's debt crisis.
The London economic consultancy Capital Economics has said: "There is a clear danger of a more sustained period of deflation, which would destroy peripheral countries' debt consolidation efforts, and could cause market concerns to once again spread from Greece."
Now it is true that the eurozone had a period of deflation back in 2009. It lasted five months. But Capital Economics reckons the recent fall in energy prices could keep the eurozone in deflation territory for a lot longer this time.
But if it's the result of cheaper energy, you might argue, then it's surely not a problem.
There is a lot in that view. The International Monetary Fund's chief economist Olivier Blanchard said in a BBC interview that the oil price fall is "what I hate to call a gift of God" for the eurozone.
He said it means there has been "a very large increase in real [that is inflation adjusted] incomes of people, and is therefore likely to lead to more spending."
The ECB President Mario Draghi has described the direct impact of cheaper oil as "unambiguously positive".
Even so, Mr Blanchard says that deflation is worrisome.
What bothers Mr Draghi is what he called "second round" effects, that falling prices might become "embedded in inflation expectations", and could affect wages as well as the prices of other types of goods.
In any event, it's worth noting that inflation excluding energy prices was 0.6% in December, a good deal lower than the ECB's target of below but close to 2%.
So that's what Mario Draghi and his colleagues in the ECB's policy-making committee are worried about.
Quantitative easing is on their agenda because the traditional ammunition for a central bank is spent.
The ECB's interest rate policy is just about zero. The main rate that it charges for lending money to the commercial banks is just 0.05%. And the rate it pays them for holding their surplus finds overnight is below zero - minus 0.2%.
In similar circumstances, central banks in the US, UK, and Japan, wanting to provide more stimulus have gone down the path of quantitative easing, QE.
Three major developed country central banks have carried out QE in recent years: the US, the UK and Japan.
In the US and UK it started in the aftermath of the financial crisis. The American move, worth a total of about $3.5tn (£2.3tn), has coincided with a recovery from a nasty recession.
In the UK the return of convincing growth came only a few years after the active asset purchases of £375bn came to an end, though to this day the Bank of England still holds them.
Japan started QE much earlier, back in 2001, and its cumulative scale is in the region of $1.7tn or so. It's an attempt to deal with prolonged economic weakness. Despite the effort, Japanese growth has never really decisively resumed.
The evidence from these experiments is inconclusive. Some say the US and UK would have recovered without QE. Others say Japan would have been in worse shape without it.
And that's what is widely expected from the ECB - that it will announce a plan to buy substantial volumes of government debt using newly created money.
The ECB has, over the course of the financial crisis, done things that have elements in common with this. It has bought the bonds, the debts of some governments, and it has also bought assets backed by loans to the private sector.
With much of this, though not all, the ECB took steps to offset the additional money creation involved in buying these assets. The technical term is sterilisation.
In addition, the asset buying undertaken by the ECB so far was aimed at improving conditions in specific parts of the eurozone financial system: the availability of credit to the private sector, and the periods of very high borrowing costs in some countries.
What we are expected to get this week is different in that it won't be quite so focussed - the aim will be to generate higher inflation across the eurozone. And the scale is likely to be bigger than we have seen before.
The figure often suggested that the ECB will spead on QE is 500bn euros ($591bn; £382bn). That's smaller than the programmes undertaken by central banks in the US or Japan, and the UK, in comparison with the size of the economy. But then all those QE programmes did take time to build up to their full scale.
So how would it work? Buying bonds in large quantities can raise their price, which lowers the return on them.
The return on bonds is in effect an interest rate, so the idea is that QE should exert downward pressure on interest rates throughout the economy, even when the central bank's own interest rate policy can no longer do that.
So the idea is that QE leads businesses to want to invest more and consumers to spend. The additional demand for goods and services would then push inflation up too, and reduce the risk of aggravating the eurozone's persistent debt problems.
In addition QE can weaken a currency on the foreign exchanges. The fact that the policy tends to drive down interest rates also makes investors less enthusiastic about investing in the currency. The weaker currency makes business more competitive against rivals outside the eurozone.
The IMF's Olivier Blanchard told the BBC that the recent depreciation of the euro is "largely due to anticipation of QE coming down the line".
Now there are plenty of critics of QE. In the US a group of them wrote an open letter to the then Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, published in the Wall Street journal, warning of a risk of excessively high inflation.
Some in Europe, especially Germany, share that concern. There is history behind that, the hyperinflation of 1923 in Weimar Germany, which was followed in the next decade by the rise of the Nazis.
The Economist has called it "Germany's hyperinflation phobia" and as the paper points out there is a debate to be had about exactly what were the economic factors behind the disaster that followed in the 1930s.
Still, it is an issue in German politics and it has made it harder for the ECB to embark on a policy that can be characterised as "printing money".
There is also a concern that by buying government debt, the ECB would be relieving the pressure on countries that arguably need to do more to reduce their debts and reform their economies. And if any of those governments were to default, the argument goes, it would be taxpayers across the eurozone that would have to foot the bill.
There have been reports that the ECB will address the latter concern by having national central banks in the 19 member countries of the eurozone buy the bonds and take responsibility for any losses there might be - which would almost certainly let the German taxpayer off the hook.
It has been a long wait. The eurozone is, probably, about to embark on something that the US, Japan and Britain started years ago.
And nobody seems to think it will fix all the eurozone's problems. The best that eurozone QE might achieve is to alleviate one factor that could make them worse.
As the BBC's Economics Editor Robert Peston put it - "painkillers to an economy that needs rather more radical structural treatment".
Five Guatemalan migrants were injured in the blast, two of them seriously.
They told officials that they had been abducted a week ago.
Central American migrants trying to reach the US are frequently targeted by Mexican criminal gangs which force them to join their ranks.
Others are killed if their families cannot pay the ransom demanded by the gangs in exchange for letting them go.
Neighbours reported seeing as many as 60 migrants fleeing the house in Reynosa following the gas blast. Police are searching for them.
Reynosa, which is just across the border from the Texan city of McAllen, is a popular crossing point for migrants trying to reach the US.
Tamaulipas state, where Reynosa is located, is being fought over by two powerful crime gangs, the Zetas and the Gulf cartel.
The cartels smuggle vast quantities of drugs across the border as well as extorting local businesses.
In 2010, the bodies of 72 migrants were found at a ranch in San Fernando, in Tamaulipas.
Authorities said they had been killed by the Zetas cartel after the migrants refused to work for the gang.
A year later, the bodies of almost 200 migrants were found in the same area.
Many of them had been abducted while travelling by bus to Reynosa. Officials said the Zetas cartel was also behind those killings.
Registration problems prevented the Sons from completing the signing of the 21-year-old Ghanaian, previously of Europa Point in Gibraltar.
Heffernan, the 34-year-old Irishman, had been released by Championship rivals Queen of the South in January.
Sons boss Stevie Aitken said: "I'm really happy, especially after the disappointment of losing Sebastian."
Heffernan, who had joined Queens after leaving Dundee in August, has only made seven appearances, scoring once, this season.
Meanwhile, Dumbarton have invited Osei-Obengo back to train with the club in the summer.
Lord Hall announced on Wednesday that the new BBC Scotland channel would start broadcasting next year.
It will include a news hour from 21:00, with stories from Scotland, the UK and the world.
On Thursday, Lord Hall told MSPs the news bulletin would be backed by all of the BBC's global resources.
And he predicted that plans for the hour-long programme "could teach a few lessons to news broadcasters around the world".
He was appearing at Holyrood's culture committee alongside BBC Scotland controller Donalda MacKinnon and her predecessor Ken MacQuarrie, who is now the BBC's director of nations and regions.
Lord Hall said: "Yesterday was not about saying we have reached some sort of destination, but I hope we have laid the foundations for an ambitious future.
"Yesterday was a declaration of intent to significantly increase our support for the Scottish creative economy.
"But most important of all, to serve audiences by providing them with more programmes of quality from Scotland about Scotland, and to the network, and also giving them greater choice."
Lord Hall has described the new channel - which will see 80 new journalists recruited - as the single biggest investment in broadcasting in Scotland for 20 years.
It will be broadcast from 19:00 until midnight every day and will have a budget of £30m - similar to the amount spent on BBC4.
There will also be an increase of about £20m a year for Scotland to make more UK-wide programmes, which will be focused on drama and factual shows.
BBC Scotland's news output on BBC One - including Reporting Scotland - will remain the same, while Gaelic channel BBC Alba will have its budget increased by £1.2m to £20m.
The announcement came after pressure on the BBC to establish a "Scottish Six" news bulletin - an hour-long programme which would replace both the current UK-wide news programme at 6pm and Reporting Scotland, which goes on air immediately afterwards.
Lord Hall told MSPs that putting the new flagship news bulletin out at 9pm, when there are no other news programmes broadcast, would allow producers in Scotland to draw on the global resources of the BBC.
He added: "I think the BBC is a team and I very much want Donalda to draw on the resources of the whole BBC, behind BBC Scotland the channel and all the things we do.
"I know that we can put the entire resources, journalist resources, global as well as UK, behind a news at nine o'clock for an hour.
"Talking to the teams yesterday, I think they can do something which is really new and fresh, using all the resources of BBC, which I think could teach a few lessons to news broadcasters around the world. I'm really excited by that proposition."
Committee convener and SNP MSP Joan McAlpine questioned the amount of resources being put behind the new channel, telling the BBC chiefs: "You spent £60m for example, commissioning Match of the Day rights, so £30m doesn't go that far."
Ms McAlpine went on to state that currently only 55% of the licence-fee cash raised in Scotland is spent in the country and while this will rise as a result of additional cash, she said it was "still a long way behind Northern Ireland at 75% and Wales at 95%"
She asked: "Are we going to get to a position where Scotland has parity with those other nations in the UK?"
Lord Hall conceded 2015-16 was "not a good year" for the proportion of licence-fee money spent in Scotland, but said that would rise to 68% with the new channel.
He said: "We're moving and we're shifting, and I think the challenge now to BBC Scotland and ourselves is to see whether in terms of the network spending we can do more than we are currently committing to do.
"That depends on good ideas, that depends on winning commissions."
The new channel has been broadly welcomed by the Scottish government, which had been leading calls for a Scottish Six alongside greater BBC investment in Scotland and for BBC Scotland to have greater control over its budgets and commissioning.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon tweeted that Lord Hall's announcement was "progress and hopefully a sign of new thinking" - but added it was "disappointing" there would be no Scottish Six.
Culture Secretary Fiona Hyslop said it was vital that the new BBC Scotland channel had "complete commission and editorial independence, and is provided with the funding needed to match ambition".
The BBC argues that the Six O'Clock News and Reporting Scotland both perform well in Scotland, but that the 21:00 slot on the new channel would offer the audience choice and quality, as well as comprehensive reporting of the news from a Scottish perspective.
The proposals will be subject to approval by the BBC's new unitary board and possibly by Ofcom.
The announcement on Scottish funding followed the BBC saying an extra £8.5m a year would be spent on programmes made in Wales. Plans for Northern Ireland will be announced shortly.
The 21-year-old, who has yet to play for Spurs' first team, has made 18 appearances for Posh since joining the club at the end of August.
McGee was due to return to White Hart Lane at the beginning of January.
"He has been top drawer since he joined the club and he is only going to get better," Posh boss Grant McCann said.
Police said that overall this year killings had fallen nearly 24%, while murders in May were down by more than 50% on the same period last year.
The gangs, Mara Salvatrucha and Barrio 18, agreed a halt to hostilities, in a deal brokered by the Catholic Church.
El Salvador's street gangs have a reputation for ruthless violence.
Announcing the latest crime figures, Justice and Public Security Minister David Munguia Payes said that the truce between the gangs "has had an important effect on the drop in violence".
The deal between the Mara Salvatrucha gang, also known as MS-13, and Barrio 18, came about after their leaders were moved from maximum security jails to more relaxed conditions.
President Mauricio Funes has stressed his government did not negotiate with the gangs but merely facilitated the accord.
Imprisoned gang members held ceremonies on 19 June to mark the first 100 days of the accord.
Gang leaders indicated they were ready for talks about making the peace pact permanent, the Associated Press reported.
"We want a definitive ceasefire," one leader, Oscar Armando Reyes, told AP. But he said the government had to come up with concrete proposals on jobs.
El Salvador's gangs have their roots in the immigrant street gangs of the US.
Over the years they have grown to become powerful, trans-national criminal organisations with thousands of members.
The truce has attracted the attention of neighbouring countries, Honduras and Guatemala, which also suffer high murder rates and gang violence.
His most famous song Stranger on the Shore was the UK's biggest selling single of 1962 and made him an international star.
Born Bernard Stanley Bilk, he changed his name to Acker - Somerset slang for "mate" - after learning to play the clarinet in the Army.
His last concert was in August 2013.
Pamela Sutton, who was Bilk's manager for 45 years, said he had "been ill for some time", adding: "He was my great friend and his music was legendary."
Born in Pensford in Somerset, Bilk tried a number of different careers before borrowing a clarinet and copying recordings of famous jazz musicians while in the Army.
He formed his first band in Bristol after his demobilisation.
Known for his goatee, bowler hat and fancy waistcoat, Bilk was awarded an MBE in 2001 for services to the music industry.
He was diagnosed with throat cancer in 2000 but recovered and continued to play concerts, the last of which was at the Brecon Festival last year.
Bilk told the BBC in a 2012 interview that when he wrote his biggest hit Stranger on the Shore, he did not immediately realise it was special.
The instrumental made him the first artist to have a simultaneous chart-topping hit in both the United Kingdom and the United States.
"I didn't think it was much different from any of the rest of it," he said.
"It was just a thing that came out of my head, that's all. I didn't sort of work on it or do much at all with it."
Besides Stranger on the Shore, Bilk also had hits with tunes such as Summer Set and Buona Sera.
He sold millions of records and won an Ivor Novello award.
"RIP ol' liquorice stick," tweeted broadcaster Danny Baker on hearing the news, describing Bilk as a "good jazzer & eternal answer to question: 'What UK artist had 1st number one in USA?'"
Poet Ian McMillan also paid tribute to the musician, describing him as the "creator of one of the great earworms. That shore was strange, but memorable."
Kenny Ball Junior, whose father Kenny Ball played alongside Bilk, said he had fond memories of the two of them playing together.
"He was such a wonderful player," he told the BBC. "He conquered everywhere. He was such a lovely bloke, a very genuine guy."
Bilk leaves his wife Jean, daughter Jenny and son Pete.
The campaign ended with a 14-12 win over Italy, adding to another home success against Wales.
Scotland's previous win in the tournament came back in 2010.
"We've made it a real point to make sure that we are learning from each match, regardless of the result," said Munro.
"In the past, they have been beaten heavily and just brushed it under the carpet.
"But you need to look at the England games, the France games, and understand what they are doing and what we could do better."
Scotland have just one player on a professional contract, number eight Jade Konkel. However, several younger members of the squad are coming through Scottish Rugby's academy system.
"The understanding of the way we are trying to play is improving," said Munro, who took charge in the summer of 2015.
"It's not a quick fix. Playing in the World Cup qualifiers has helped prepare us this season and the players have learned from every game.
"They have really bought into what we are trying to do and they have looked after themselves well. The academy structure has certainly got them a lot fitter.
"It's going to be difficult to challenge England or France anytime soon. There's quite a difference. All we can do is keep focusing on what we are doing and keep on improving.
"It's a young team and they are keen, which is what you want as a coach."
Just as they did against Wales, Scotland recovered from the loss of two tries to come back and beat the Italians in Cumbernauld.
"We didn't start particularly well and it was the same against Wales," said Munro. "That's something we need to fix.
"It's not a case of not being up for the game but they get stage fright, almost.
"They almost need the opposition to score a try before thinking 'hang on a minute, we're going to lose this unless we do something about it'.
"The players want to do well. They are putting so much effort in.
"I'm not in this to lose games but I was under no illusions that it was going to be difficult. It's taken a couple of years to get to this stage where we are just managing to win.
"Hopefully, we can keep on improving and start winning by a bit more."
An investigation into the cause of the fire at Capel Aberfan is continuing.
The internal structure of the chapel, built in 1876, was completely destroyed by the blaze which broke out at 01:51 BST on Saturday.
The chapel was used as a temporary mortuary following the Aberfan disaster in 1966 and housed a memorial organ.
Some neighbouring properties were evacuated as a precaution while firefighters tackled the blaze, but the building has now been made safe.
An assessment is due to be carried out to determine what demolition work will be needed.
South Wales Police are working with the fire service to establish the cause of the fire.
Merthyr Vale councillor Darren Roberts said the building had been "totally gutted".
Although the chapel closed in 2012, occasional services still took place and renovations were ongoing to try and modernise it and bring it back into community use.
Ryan Gray, 24, was discovered with stab wounds by police on Horsell Road, Islington, on 4 June. Mr Gray, who is from Islington, died four days later.
The teenager, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was found guilty of murder and sentenced at the Old Bailey earlier.
Met Police described the stabbing as "shocking and violent".
A post-mortem confirmed the cause of death as a stab wound to the chest.
The game on 5 November falls outside World Rugby's Test window, which contravenes English Premiership rules.
But it appears North and Roberts - and the injured Taulupe Faletau - could have special dispensation to play.
"Having spoken to the players, some of them are available for the Australia game," said Howley.
"We've had no formal conversations with any of the English clubs.
"The players I've spoken to are the likes of Jamie, George and Toby [Taulupe Faletau]."
Harlequins' Roberts posted a message on his Instagram account saying he was "looking forward to meeting up" with the Wales squad next week.
Northampton paid a fine of £60,000 in 2013 after their wing North played for Wales against Australia in a match which took place outside of the international window.
North had agreed a three-year contract whereby he would be available for all Wales games, but the 24-year-old has since signed a new deal.
Centre Roberts, meanwhile, is in the second year of his Harlequins contract and any fresh release could prompt more action by Premiership Rugby Limited against its clubs.
Wales also believe Toulon full-back Leigh Halfpenny will be available to line up against the Wallabies.
Bath number eight Faletau has been picked to lend experience to Wales training, although he is unlikely to be fit until the latter half of November if at all.
His inclusion, along with Roberts and North as the three wildcards under the Welsh Rugby Union's senior player selection policy, meant that Bath fly-half Rhys Priestland misses out.
Only three players who have signed new contracts outside Wales can be included in any squad.
Japan-based lock Dominic Day, Gloucester prop Nicky Thomas and scrum-half Rhodri Williams are the others affected by the rule.
Meanwhile, Wales captain Sam Warburton could make his return for Cardiff Blues against Pau in the European Challenge Cup on Friday 21 October, following a cheekbone injury.
Shane O'Donoghue sealed victory with a penalty stroke in the final five seconds after England led twice through Harry Martin and Adam Dixon.

O'Donoghue and Alan Sothern levelled before Eugene Magee put underdogs Ireland in front.
Netherlands beat Germany 6-1 in the gold medal match.
England captain Barry Middleton said his side was punished for not taking their chances.
He added: "We are devastated. We put a lot into the tournament and to come away with nothing is very disappointing.
"We must learn from our mistakes and we know how much hard work we will have to put into the Rio Olympics to achieve the results we want."
Ireland's man of the match Paul Gleghorne said: "We are mixing it with the top teams in the world, teams we aspire to be like and to compete with.
"It is absolutely brilliant to get a bronze. We are delighted."
Ireland, 14 in the world rankings, stunned fifth-rated England by scoring with three of their first four shots.
Despite forcing six short corners, having 16 shots and 68% possession, England were unable to make their pressure tell.
Richard Smith, 37, flew the device over restricted airspace at Wellesbourne Airfield, in Warwickshire, as well as over homes and a school.
The drone had been modified to increase its flight distance capabilities, Warwickshire Police said.
Smith, of Alcester Road, Stratford-upon-Avon, admitted 15 offences under the Air Navigation Order 2016.
See more stories from Coventry and Warwickshire here
He was fined £259, ordered to pay costs of £185 and a £30 victim surcharge at Leamington Spa Magistrates Court on Wednesday. The drone was also seized.
Police said the offences took place over the course of four drone flights between December 2016 and January 2017.
Officers started investigating after a report of a YouTube video showing drone flights across South Warwickshire.
Warwickshire Police said Smith flew his drone over a mile away from himself where he could not see it.
He also flew it through fog and above the cloud base, as well as within the restricted airspace of Wellesbourne Airfield.
The force said the case was believed to be the first prosecuted by police under the 2016 legislation.
It said previous prosecutions had been carried out under old legislation and led by the Civil Aviation Authority.
"Good Spanish food doesn't get much better than paella. My version combines chicken thighs & chorizo," he tweeted.
An "abomination" wrote one user. "That thing ain't paella," wrote another, with the inclusion of chorizo proving particularly controversial.
He has previously drawn flak for his take on West African dish Jollof rice.
There are countless recipes for paella, which originates in Valencia and involves rice plus ingredients such as rabbit, seafood, snails and artichokes.
But traditionalists have very clear ideas about what should and shouldn't go into it.
"The abuses committed in the name of Paella Valenciana, are excessive - an authentic scandal," Catalan author Josep Pla once wrote.
The website Wikipaella, which aims to promote authentic paella, lists golden rules for the dish, including only using Spanish rice. And chorizo is definitely a no-no.

The tourists took two wickets in the last two overs of day three as India reached 319-4, still 218 behind.
Farbrace expects the Rajkot pitch to deteriorate and thinks England are "in a good position".
"We do expect the wicket to turn and we expect it to be a little more up and down as well," he told TMS.
Stuart Broad removed Gautam Gambhir in the second over of the day but England had to wait until late in the evening session for further breakthroughs.
Murali Vijay and Cheteshwar Pujara both compiled patient centuries in a second-wicket partnership of 209.
The tourists restricted India to 256 runs on the third day, with only 66 scored off 29 overs in the afternoon session as Broad and spinners Moeen Ali, Adil Rashid and Zafar Ansari maintained a tight line.
Farbrace says the situation can change rapidly in the latter stages of Test matches in India and it is important for England to stay in the game.
"We have seen a few misbehave over the last couple of days and I think it will start to happen more often," he said.
"Any advantage you can have will be a massive advantage."
He also felt England's bowlers showed control and patience given the excellent batting pitch and highlighted the contribution of Rashid and Ansari.
"Our spinners, who took a bit of stick, have shown they are capable of improving," said Farbrace.
"They are not suddenly going to be world-class spinners overnight, but they have shown a real resolute way of getting the ball in the right area more often that not. For seamers and spinners, it was all about keeping control.
"Ben Stokes had a spell just before lunch where he didn't quite get it right but that's about the only time in the day where we lost a little bit of control. To nick a couple out at the end makes our dressing room a happier place tonight."
Farbrace says England are likely to alter their bowling tactics if the pitch begins to offer more assistance.
"Tomorrow morning, the plan will be exactly the same," he said. "It may be if the wicket starts to deteriorate a little, you might find your lines becoming a little bit straighter. At the moment, our plan is to be fifth stump line."
He was also wearing glasses and was suited and booted like a politician.
So far, so ordinary, but his uncanny likeness to one of Northern Ireland's best-known politicians has not gone unnoticed.
Mr Brosnan was photographed bearing a striking resemblance to the Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams.
The Irish-born actor is currently filming in the capital for the thriller based on Stephen Leather's novel, The Chinaman.
He is playing the role of Liam Hennessy, a former IRA member turned government official.
Mr Brosnan is staring opposite Jackie Chan in the untitled Martin Campbell project.
It is not the actor's first time working with Mr Campbell. The star was directed by Mr Campbell in his Bond debut, Goldeneye in 1994.
They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and Mr Adams showed a sense of humour by tweeting: "I never knew Pierce Brosnan was so good looking."
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.

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.

Ronnie Coulter, 48, from Wishaw, was originally cleared of stabbing the 32-year-old in Overtown, North Lanarkshire, following a trial in 1999.
The Crown was given permission to bring a second prosecution following changes to Scotland's double jeopardy laws.
Coulter was convicted at the second trial at the High Court in Glasgow. He now faces a mandatory life term.
His conviction is only the second time in Scottish legal history that an accused has been tried twice for the same crime. The other saw Angus Sinclair convicted of the World's End murders after a second trial.
Coulter was convicted by a majority verdict following a four-week trial.
Judge Lord Matthews deferred sentence until 31 October for background reports.
The judge told Coulter: "There is only one sentence I can pass of life imprisonment. The only question for me is how long you should serve before being eligible for parole."
Lord Matthews said he was calling for background reports given the relatively minor nature of Coulter's previous convictions and his mental health issues.
Lawyer Aamer Anwar, who began campaigning for the Chhokar family when he was a final year law student at Strathclyde University, said: "Today's verdict is not a cause for celebration but relief that finally justice has been done after nearly 18 years.
"No-one can imagine the devastating toll on a family who were forced to campaign for justice.
"In 2000, I stood on the steps of this court, accusing our justice system of acting like a gentleman's colonial club - of being arrogant, unaccountable and institutionally racist.
"But the Chhokar family want to thank today's prosecutors, Crown Office and Police Scotland for their unwavering commitment to justice."
Mr Anwar said the Chhokar family's campaign for justice had "placed victim's rights at the heart of a modern criminal justice system" and would "be their legacy for generations to come".
He added: "Their is real sorrow that Mr Darshan Singh Chhokar is not here to see justice, but I hope that both he and Surjit are finally at peace."
Two official inquiries were ordered after the original trial of Mr Coulter and the subsequent acquittal of his nephew Andrew and David Montgomery over Mr Chhokar's death.
One of the reports made allegations of "institutional racism" and the other said that all three men should have stood trial together.
Following the publication of the reports in 2001, the then Lord Advocate, Colin Boyd QC, said the Chhokar family had been failed by the police and prosecution services.
In his last interview before his death in November 2015, Mr Chhokar's father said his only wish was that those responsible for his son's death "face justice".
After the verdict a spokesman for the Crown Office said: "We welcome the decision of the jury and the fact that this means someone has now been convicted for the appalling murder of Surjit Singh Chhokar in 1998.
"We would like to pay tribute to his family who have behaved with great courage and dignity throughout their long wait to see someone found guilty of his murder.
"As a result of this case, the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service has transformed the way it deals with allegations of racial crimes including a complete review of how we manage High Court business and significant improvements to the way we communicate with relatives."
Det Ch Supt Clark Cuzen, who led the investigation, said: "Coulter has been cowardly for showing absolutely no remorse for his crimes and the fact that he has actively and deliberately tried to evade justice for years speaks volume about the individual."
The detective paid tribute to Mr Chhokar's father, Darshan Singh Chhokar, who died last year.
He described the case as "a complex and challenging two-year investigation" that "ultimately...pointed the finger firmly at Ronnie Coulter".
Det Ch Supt Cuzen added: "Whilst we were unable to find evidence of racial motivation at the time of the murder, there was evidence to support the fact that Ronnie Coulter described Surjit using racist terms when confessing to the murder."
The trial heard that Ronnie Coulter, his nephew Andrew Coulter and another man, David Montgomery, went to see Mr Chhokar on 4 November 1998 following a row over a stolen £100 Giro cheque.
After an altercation, Mr Chhokar collapsed in front of his partner Liz Bryce.
He was stabbed three times in the chest and one of the blows pierced his heart, resulting in his death from massive blood loss.
The court also heard how Ronnie Coulter was previously tried for Mr Chhokar's murder in 1999, but cleared of the charge.
Andrew Coulter, who was convicted of stabbing and killing another man in 1999, and Mr Montgomery, were also cleared of Mr Chhokar's murder at another trial in 2000.
In 2011, changes were made to the double jeopardy law which prevented an accused person from being tried for the same offence twice.
In January 2013, the Crown Office ordered a new investigation into the Chhokar case.
The following year, three high court judges granted prosecutors permission to retry Ronnie Coulter.
He denied the charge and lodged a special defence blaming his nephew Andrew and Mr Montgomery.
Both men gave evidence during the trial and admitted being there on the night Mr Chhokar died, but they denied murder.
A jury has now decided Ronnie Coulter committed the murder and convicted him following a second trial.
November 4, 1998: Surjit Singh Chhokar murdered
9 March 1999: Ronnie Coulter acquitted of murder, but convicted of assaulting Mr Chhokar. He was not sentenced because of the time he had already spent in custody. In a Special Defence of Incrimination he had blamed his nephew Andrew Coulter and David Montgomery for the murder. Trial judge Lord McCluskey fiercely attacked the Crown for having failed to indict all three men together. He said: "For reasons that I cannot begin to understand, one, and only one of those persons was placed in the dock and charged with the crime. That is a matter which, to me, as a judge of considerable experience, passes my understanding altogether, I cannot begin to understand how it happened and I shall be taking steps to see if I can discover what the reason was for the course that was taken. Unfortunately I know no more than you do about that particular background."
The then Lord Advocate, Lord Hardie replied in a statement: "It is a matter of regret that a judge of such experience should make such public pronouncements in ignorance of the background to the case. Such uninformed and ill-advised remarks do not serve the interests of justice and fail to appreciate the respective roles of the Lord Advocate and the Judiciary. Prosecution decisions fall within the independent exercise of the discretion of the Lord Advocate, who is not accountable to the High Court of Justiciary, or any of its judges, for such decisions. From the preliminary report given to me I am satisfied that the action taken in this case was the most appropriate in the circumstances and the reasons for it are sound."
2 July 1999: Andrew Coulter and David Montgomery indicted for Mr Chhokar's murder. They lodged a "plea in bar of trial" at the High Court, claiming the case should not be allowed to go ahead because pre-trial publicity meant they wouldn't get a fair hearing.
14 September 1999: Appeal Court in Edinburgh rejects plea. The men appealed to the Privy Council.
28 November 2000: Andrew Coulter and David Montgomery acquitted of murder. They had named Ronnie Coulter as the killer in their own Special Defences.
24 October 2001: Report of Sir Anthony Campbell QC into the way prosecution decisions were made in the Surjit Singh Chhokar case. He said all three men should have been indicted together, and recommended a review of Crown Office procedures.
24 October 2001: Report of Dr. Raj Jandoo into allegations of institutional racism on the case. Among his findings: institutional racism was evident in the police and the procurator fiscal system, and police failed to appreciate the impact which a major crime has on members of a vulnerable minority community.
21 January 2015: Crown Office indicts Ronnie Coulter for Mr Chhokar's murder. This follows an application to the High Court seeking permission to raise a prosecution under Double Jeopardy laws. Coulter's case will be only the second such prosecution. The only other was that of Angus Sinclair in the World's End murder case.
5 October 2016: Ronnie Coulter convicted of murder
Lee Brown struck Rovers' winner in stoppage time as they came from behind to win against the relegated Daggers.
Billy Bodin had cancelled out Matthew Cash's opener and Rovers looked set to draw despite having 35 shots on goal.
But Brown clinched the Pirates' second consecutive promotion on 92 minutes.
Darrell Clarke's side, who were relegated to the National League on the final day of the season in 2014, began Saturday in fourth place, two points behind second-placed Accrington.
Wins for both Accrington and Oxford would have left Rovers in the play-offs, but Stanley failed to beat Stevenage, meaning Rovers finished third on goal difference.
Top scorer Matty Taylor spurned the best of the home side's many second-half chances before Brown's late twist.
Throwing players forward in search of the winner, Rovers almost conceded but Brown cleared off the line to deny Dagenham.
As full-time loomed, Taylor hit the post but the rebound fell to defender Brown, who netted to set off jubilant celebrations at the Memorial Stadium.
Clarke's side lost just one of their final 14 games of the season to return to the third tier for the first time since being relegated in 2011.
Bristol Rovers match-winner Lee Brown told BBC Radio Bristol: "It means the world to me. It means so much to so many people.
"It just happened to fall to me. I was the lucky one. I'm just so happy it hit the back of the net.
"What a group of players, I can't rate them highly enough. It's going to be a long night."

Keshi was sacked at the start of July and has been replaced by Sunday Oliseh.
He has written to the NFF through his lawyers demanding the money, claiming damages for defamation.
However, NFF officials believe the claim has no substance and are confident the body will not be forced to compensate Keshi.
BBC Sport understands that Keshi is anxious to protect his reputation and profile in football circles after the NFF disciplinary committee made various allegations against him.
Keshi has yet to take the case to court as he is hoping the matter can be resolved amicably.
The former Togo and Mali coach becomes the second former Nigeria coach in five years to protest against dismissal by the NFF - his predecessor Samson Siasia launched legal action in October 2011 but later withdrew his case and said he wanted to look ahead.
Keshi, a former captain of the national team, led the side to the 2013 Nations Cup title in South Africa and also steered the Super Eagles to the Round of 16 at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
His contract was not renewed after the World Cup but he later returned on a match-by-match deal, which ended in November after the team's failure to reach the 2015 Nations Cup finals.
As caretaker coach, Keshi endured a turbulent 2014, in which he was sacked by the NFF and only reinstalled after intervention from then Nigeria President Goodluck Jonathan.
The 53-year-old, who returned for his third spell in April, led his side to a 2-0 home win against Chad in a 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in June, but was shown the exit door after less than three months into a two-year deal.
Mr Carney's decision came after increasing speculation about his future as the head of the Bank of England.
Governors are traditionally appointed for an eight-year term, but when Mr Carney took the job in 2013 he initially signed up for five years, with an option for a further three. He has now said he will stay until June 2019.
In his letter to Chancellor Philip Hammond, Mr Carney said his move should help "contribute to securing an orderly transition to the UK's new relationship with Europe".
During the referendum, Mr Carney had come under pressure from some Brexit campaigners for his remarks that voting to leave the EU would push the UK into a recession - seen by some as outside the governor's non-political remit.
The governor defended his intervention, saying the Bank's role was to "identify risks, not to cross your fingers and hope risks would go away".
Nevertheless, this sparked calls for him to resign.
Mr Carney "never seems to want to recognise the result of the referendum and get on with it," said one MP, Jacob Rees-Mogg, recently.
Since his arrival three years ago, Mr Carney has presided over measures designed to boost the UK economy in the aftermath of the global economic crisis.
There have been bouts of quantitative easing - pumping money directly into the financial system.
He introduced a policy of "forward guidance" at the Bank, also aimed at raising confidence; though just six months after its implementation in 2013 this needed a rethink.
The Bank had originally said it would not consider raising interest rates until the unemployment rate fell to 7% or below.
But when that seemed likely to happen much sooner than anticipated the Bank altered its stance, saying it would focus on a range of economic variables rather than just the jobless numbers before changing rates.
But Mr Carney did then give clear hints that rates would have to gradually rise towards 2017.
Instead, the opposite has happened, and in the wake of the UK's Brexit vote the Bank actually cut rates to 0.25% this summer.
When Mark Carney became the Bank of England's governor in June 2013, he was the first non-Briton to be appointed in the Bank's 300-year history.
He came after a successful stint as Canada's central banker, where he was credited for shielding the country from some of the worst effects of the 2008 financial crisis.
In March 2008, just a month after his appointment, he cut Canadian interest rates. This and other measures helped boost market confidence and enabled Canada to recover from the crisis more quickly than some of its peers.
Likened more than once to the Hollywood actor George Clooney, ahead of his arrival in the UK Mr Carney was touted as a "rock star" banker, a change from the usual Bank of England head.
"He's got star quality, and he knows how to use it," said fellow Canadian and former government colleague Scott Reid.
Mr Carney's appointment was a break with tradition in many ways.
He had a commercial banking, as well as a public sector background - unlike his two most recent predecessors who had spent their careers within the Bank of England and academia.
Mr Carney worked for investment banking giant Goldman Sachs in New York before returning to Canada to work for the country's Finance Department - and then Canada's central bank.
Another difference was the size of his pay packet, which was well above that of his predecessor, Sir Mervyn King.
His starting annual salary of £480,000 (plus £144,000 pension allowance) was £175,000 more than Sir Mervyn received - and that's not counting his £250,000 annual accommodation allowance.
So what is it about Mr Carney that separates him from other central bankers?
"He's extraordinarily charismatic," says Scott Reid. "You go to his speeches and you'll find them just as dry as anyone's.
"But it's the way he does things, he takes the time to linger on you... and the public and the press find that very intoxicating.
"He such a fetching figure - but let's not be shy about that. He's conscious of it. He's shrewd when it comes to his image."
Married to an Englishwoman, the 48-year-old's postgraduate education was at Oxford University, where he studied economics.
His former tutor during his Masters degree, economist Peter Oppenheimer, says "he was a typically bright, transatlantic student".
"That sounds terribly old fashioned, but he wasn't the sort of young man who walked around in torn sweaters."
Prof Oppenheimer says Mr Carney was an interesting choice to run the Bank of England. "He wasn't an insider, he wasn't an academic economist, and he was a practical banker of a certain kind.
"The really good governors of the post-Second World War period have been people with practical banking experience, such as Gordon Richardson and Robin Leigh-Pemberton.
"They have been the outstanding governors. More so than Bank insiders, or people with long academic careers."
It's been said Mr Carney wanted to stay to help the UK through the challenges of Brexit, and that leaving early might be seen by some of his critics as admitting defeat.
Crucially, he has the backing of the Prime Minister, Theresa May, who believes he is the right person to be Bank of England governor.
There is also the matter of market confidence.
Following the referendum result and all the personnel changes in the Conservative government, many in the markets see Mr Carney as one of the few voices of continuity in the UK.
Three people, thought to have been in the building at the time, are still missing after the incident at the mine near the north-eastern town of Barberton, emergency services say.
More than 70 workers had to use an emergency exit to reach the surface.
South Africa's deep gold mines often pose serious safety issues.
Last year, 77 workers were killed in various mining accidents, the lowest number on record.
The three missing workers were in the lamp room near the surface of the mine at the time of the incident, the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (AMCU) said in a statement on its website.
There have been conflicting interpretations of the incident.
The operations manager for the Lily mine Mike Begg told local media that 84 workers had escaped and that five were missing, describing what happened as "a freak accident".
Meanwhile, AMCU said that 75 employees were successfully rescued, and that it was "outraged at another terrible mining disaster".
It said that more than 50 family members of those involved in the incident were now waiting outside the entrance of the site for their loved ones.
His lawyer claims the allegation is "demonstrably false" - and fans have flocked to social media to support the controversial singer.
This isn't Brown's first encounter with the law - and with a number of previous, high-profile convictions for violence, why do so many fans adore him?
Chris Brown's violent assault on his then-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009 became one of the biggest stories of that year. Details of the attack in the police report, and the photos of Rihanna's injuries leaked to the press, led to widespread criticism in the media.
But his die-hard fans - who call themselves Team Breezy - say that was an isolated incident and has since been used to sabotage his career and reputation. His probation for the attack ended last year.
In the age of social media, Brown's fans connect with him directly, personally, through his online accounts. In 2009, that was through a YouTube video - since deleted - in which he told his fans he was "not a monster" and to tell his "real fans I love you all".
Now, the star has turned to Instagram as his favoured platform. Some celebrities might suspend their social activity when they find themselves suddenly in the public eye - but as police waited outside his home, reportedly because they were denied entry by Brown and had to wait for a judge to approve a search warrant, he used Instagram to issue messages to his 30 million followers.
He complained that "every three months y'all come up with something". "You're all the worst gang in the world, the police," he said, and mentioned the "Black Lives Matter" movement in another.
His fans have taken up that call, too, painting Brown as a victim of racial profiling, and suggesting the police response was disproportionate.
This type of deep, personal connection to a star is relatively new, according to Professor Chris Rojek from City University London. author of the book Celebrity.
"Social media has transformed celebrity culture," he said. "By having 24/7 access to a celebrity the fan believes that he or she 'knows' [the star]."
Yet while the singer can enjoy the dedicated support of his followers, those on Team Breezy's bad side can face a difficult time.
Baylee Curran, the actress at the centre of the story, originally posted a video message to her Instagram account with her version of events. It has since been deleted.
Her other posts, however, are inundated with abuse from Brown supporters. "Dumb little ***** … nobody has time for your dumb stories , you just want attention and fame you ain't gonna have that because your level is zero and his level can't even be compared with your ******* ugly self !" one wrote in the comments of a photo.
Other posts encourage violence, insult her appearance, and accuse her of lying for attention.
This aggression, Professor Rojek says, can happen when fandom crosses the line into open celebrity worship.
"For some fans, celebs are more important than their families and friends," he said. "They have a relationship of 'presumed intimacy' with them, in which the public acclaim for the celebrity is shared by the fan.
"The assault on a celebrity is therefore an assault on the self. The celebrity can't be wrong, so he or she must be protected."
This, he said, is no different from religion. Celebrity Worship Syndrome is a psychological condition, where a fan comes to see their icon as "super human".
The behaviour of a small number of Brown's fans online doesn't tell the whole picture, however - Brown has also enjoyed the support of world-famous celebrities over the years.
After the alleged incident this week, singer Ray J posted a video to Instagram, saying he was "real upset about today."
"I'm not happy with how things are handled, and how people can take a false story and blow it up into something way more than what it should be," he told fans.
A trailer for an upcoming documentary, billed as "a chance to tell his own story" featured interviews with high-profile stars such as Usher, Jennifer Lopez, Mike Tyson, and Jamie Foxx.
Even Rihanna seemingly forgave the singer for the infamous 2009 assault, as the couple briefly dated once again in 2012. They have since discontinued their relationship.
Despite the support of fans and friends, Brown's troubles have had a direct impact on the artist's career.
"Even though Chris Brown will always have a loyal fanbase, he isn't the hitmaker he once was," said Radio 1 music journalist Steve Holden.
"Some corners suggest he has been unfairly treated in this instance, or that there was some kind of set-up. However, for many news outlets and tabloids, Chris Brown is more synonymous with his personal troubles than his music.
"As long as Rihanna remains the huge star she is, he will forever be associated with what he did to her."
Brown's convictions have hurt him professionally, too. He has been denied visas to enter the UK and Australia on tour, and his last top 10 hit on the Billboard US Hot 100 was in 2013.
Despite the setbacks, however, he continues to make new music for his core fans - who stand by him at every turn.
Six others were convicted of involvement in the murder of Ahmed Rajib Haider, who was hacked to death as he was returning home from a rally in the capital, Dhaka.
A five-year sentence was given to the head of Ansarullah Bangla, the group suspected of carrying out the attack.
Five more secular bloggers and writers were killed in Bangladesh in 2015.
The court said that one of the students sentenced to death, Faisal bin Nayeem, attacked Haider with a meat cleaver in front of the victim's house.
The other was tried and sentenced in absentia.
Haider was among a group of bloggers who had called for the execution of Islamist leaders for crimes committed in the 1971 war.
The blogger's father, Mohammad Nazim Uddin, said he was unhappy that only two men were given the death sentence.
"I'm not happy with the verdict. I reject this verdict. Five of them confessed their involvement in the killing. But only two were given death sentence. How is it possible?", he said.
There have been several clashes in recent years between Islamists and supporters of the secular Awami League.

Lomu died on Wednesday at home in Auckland. He had been diagnosed with a rare kidney condition in 1995.
"We wish to thank all who have expressed their sympathies for our family at this incredibly difficult time," said Lomu's father-in-law Mervyn Quirk in a statement.
"We know that many people are mourning a very special individual."
Winger Lomu was capped 63 times for the All Blacks between 1994 and 2002 and scored 37 tries.
Quirk said funeral arrangements for Lomu were yet to be finalised.
However, he added there would be a celebration of his achievements "during an all too short time on this earth".
"We are truly touched by the outpouring of love for Jonah and the support for our family," he added.
Meanwhile, Lomu's widow, Nadene, has taken down a fundraising page set up after his death.
Ms Lomu had said the page, on the Givealittle site, would help her and her sons bring Lomu's "dreams and visions to life". She later clarified the money would go towards her sons and their education.
Family spokesman and former All Blacks coach John Hart said the page had felt at the time like "an appropriate way" to respond to requests from the public who wanted to help the family, but that it had been "misunderstood".
He said Ms Lomu had asked for it to be taken down.
Police sealed off the area behind Shrewsbury Sports Village near to Pimley Manor in Sundorne at about 10:00 GMT.
No shots were fired and the incident reached a "peaceful conclusion", said West Mercia Police.
A 42-year-old Shrewsbury man was arrested on suspicion of firearms offences.
Armed officers and police negotiators were at the scene for about three hours, the force said.
Witness Dave Mellor, who owns a cycle shop in the town, said: "There was a little bit of shouting and when I came out [of the woods] there were police dogs and armed response guys.
"I could see where [the man] was through the trees but I couldn't see what was happening. I didn't really know what was going on.
Supt David McWilliam said: "The incident was dealt with very professionally and we have tried to minimise disruption to the wider local community.
"Officers remain at the scene and will be providing reassurance to the local community that there is no continuing threat."
In a speech, Mr Hunt highlighted the "problem of loneliness that in our busy lives we have utterly failed to confront as a society".
"Some five million people say television is their main form of company," he said.
Labour accused of him trying to blame families for government failures.
In a speech at the National Children and Adults Services (NCAS) conference, Mr Hunt said: "Each and every lonely person has someone who could visit them and offer companionship.
"A forgotten million who live amongst us - ignored to our national shame."
He added: "According to the Campaign to End Loneliness, there are 800,000 people in England who are chronically lonely."
He also told delegates that the 112,000 cases of alleged abuse in care homes referred by English councils in 2012-13, the majority involving over-65s, indicated that "something is badly wrong".
But the regulation of care in both the private and public sector was improving, he argued.
Loneliness affects 'half of adults'
The Conservative MP said the new chief inspector of social care, Andrea Sutcliffe, would start to give ratings to care homes from April 2014 with a view to organising inspections of all 25,000 care homes by 2016.
Mr Hunt said he was "particularly worried" about the 400,000 people in care homes, some of whom get regular visits but others who were just "parked there".
He said that 46% of people aged 80 or over reported feeling lonely "some of the time or often".
He warned that loneliness was as "bad for you" as "smoking 15 cigarettes a day", was "worse than obesity" because of the risk of blood clots, heart disease and dementia, and warned that lonely people "drink more" and were more prone to early admission in residential or nursing care.
Mr Hunt also said he believed the UK should learn from Asian cultures where there was "reverence and respect for older people" and "residential care is a last rather than a first option".
"The social contract is stronger because as children see how their own grandparents are looked after, they develop higher expectations of how they too will be treated when they get old," he explained.
"If we are to tackle the challenge of an ageing society, we must learn from this - and restore and reinvigorate the social contract between generations.
"And uncomfortable though it is to say it, it will only start with changes in the way we personally treat our own parents and grandparents."
England should aim to become "the best place in the world to grow old in", he concluded.
But Labour said the "real national shame" was "Jeremy Hunt's attempt to shift the blame for dealing with the very real problems of loneliness amongst elderly people on to families alone".
Living alone can be linked to habits that are bad for health.
Eating poorly and having less motivation to be physically active can be a consequence of being physically isolated.
Being alone can also affect mental health, causing people to feel low and depressed.
However, feeling lonely can in itself be bad for your physical health.
Studies have shown people who are socially isolated can cause damage to the immune system leading to a condition called chronic inflammation.
And other research suggested women who developed breast cancer were more likely to die of the disease if they saw few friends and family.
Shadow health and social care minister Liz Kendall said: "He seems completely unaware that there are over six million unpaid family carers in Britain today, one in five of whom provide more than 50 hours care a week for their loved ones.
"These unsung heroes save the taxpayer billions of pounds yet often get precious little support in return.
"Families, friends and neighbours need a decent care system to back up their efforts to look after elderly people, but the reality is our care system is in crisis and has been pushed to the brink of collapse.
"Jeremy Hunt and David Cameron need to take responsibly for their government's actions rather than trying to turn the clock back and say it's down to families alone."
Shadow health secretary Andy Burnham said on Twitter that Jeremy Hunt was "right to highlight isolation of older people".
He added: "But he can't get away from fact that Govt cuts to care have made it much worse."
But speaking on the BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Anthea Tinker, professor of social gerontology at King's College in London, said it was a "myth" that eastern Asian families placed greater reverence on families and older people than in the West.
"The reality is that with one-child-families, children have often moved to a city or emigrated," she said.
"So it's just not practical for families to depend on their children. One of the largest nursing homes in the world is about to open in China, for 5,000 people, which is amazing."
Prof Tinker added: "We've got to look at the reality rather than the myth."
Mr Hunt's speech came as a BBC poll found that almost half of all adults said they experienced feelings of loneliness.
The survey of more than 2,500 adults in England was commissioned for BBC Radio 2 and BBC Local Radio's Faith In The World Week.
It also showed that people who practised a religion felt lonelier than those who did not.
London was identified the loneliest place with a figure of 52% compared with 45% in the south west of England.
On Sunday protestors marched with the coffins of two men they said died in clashes with India's security forces, waving flags and calling for peace.
Around 50 people have been wounded in riots and arson attacks that began more than a week ago.
Home Minister Rajnath Singh has appealed for calm, urging protesters and the state government to hold talks.
Tensions first escalated when police raided the homes and offices of Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM) members, who want a state for ethnic Gorkhas within West Bengal.
The government had also angered the Gorkhas - who speak Nepali - by announcing plans to make the Bengali language mandatory in state schools.
As relations deteriorated, the authorities sent troops and riot police in to patrol the famous tea resort.
Police said one man died and 35 police officers were hurt in the violence on Saturday.
West Bengal director general of police Anuj Sharma said the man appeared to have been shot, but police have denied using live ammunition.
They say they used tear gas and baton charges after protesters torched cars and attacked the security forces with knives.
But supporters of the GJM insist three of their comrades were shot dead by police. They say one of the bodies remains in a local hospital, awaiting a post mortem.
Reports on Sunday suggested mobile internet access has been blocked in riot-hit areas of Darjeeling.
Thousands of visitors, most of them Indian, have fled the picturesque area since the clashes began at the height of tourist season.
The GJM has ruled out holding talks with the state authorities, saying it will only negotiate with India's central government.
His election victory comes a day after China held its first state Nanjing Massacre memorial ceremony, where Chinese President Xi Jinping criticised Japanese nationalists for denying history.
China says 300,000 civilians were massacred when Japan's troops occupied the city in 1937, although some Japanese nationalists dispute this.
Last month, both countries reached a consensus to resume dialogue after strained bilateral ties over rival territorial claims in the East China Sea and disputes about Japan's World War II history.
The official Xinhua News Agency has published a series of reports and articles on Japan's election, warning the Abe administration to "shake off the rightist ideology".
Mr Abe's victory is "no reflection of public will" but "a simple economic referendum… as no other party stood nearly close enough to deliver on any of their pledges", a Xinhua report quotes observers as saying.
Another article summarises China's position on its ties with Japan.
"China and Japan, whose relations have been constantly troubled by Japan's increasingly right-tilting moves over the past few years, have reached a four-point agreement in November. Now the onus is on Mr Abe to walk his talk," says the article.
Several domestic papers, including the Beijing Times and the Beijing News, sound a note of caution over Mr Abe's military intentions.
An expert tells the Global Times' Chinese edition that the victory "may not be a disaster to Beijing-Tokyo relations", but Mr Abe has to work on improving bilateral ties now that he has reinforced his position at home.
Elsewhere, the unruly behaviour of four Chinese passengers aboard an international flight has drawn strong criticism from state media.
According to reports, four Chinese passengers lashed out at a flight attendant in an AirAsia flight to Nanjing in eastern China from Bangkok, Thailand. One of the four even threatened to blow up the plane.
The plane was forced to return to Bangkok on Thursday night after the scuffle in the air.
The four passengers were fined by Thailand authorities and were asked to compensate for throwing hot water on the air crew.
The incident sparked outrage among the Chinese netizens after the news was reported in the Chinese media.
Many are criticising them for "hurting the image of the country", while National Tourism Administration (NTA), China's tourism authority, has announced over the weekend that these passengers will be "punished".
Reprimanding the passengers, the China Daily said it was an "ugly incident" and described them as "barbarians".
"Of course, such isolated incidents do not represent the Chinese people. But they do tarnish their image," stresses the paper.
"The incident should serve as a lesson not just for the four culprits, but also for all Chinese to behave properly to get respect," it adds.
The Global Times reports that the passengers' "misconduct" will be included in the new personal travel records set up by the NTA.
"The administration's move should be encouraged, as it is the first time they have clearly stipulated that public behaviour should not only be punished by law, but also regulated by a record system," Su Haopeng, vice-dean of the Law School at the University of International Business and Economics, tells the paper.
And finally, several media outlets shine a spotlight on an ancient Chinese temple that has been turned into a "private luxurious club".
According to Xinhua, the club is located within a famous ancient temple near the historical Forbidden City in Beijing.
The news agency notes that the temple is only accessible to "members" where they could sit on the golden "dragon chair" and enjoy other luxurious services. The report adds that the temple houses a lavish Western restaurant and its hall has been "elaborately decorated".
The Beijing Times notes that some "officials" frequently visit the "temple".
The paper also calls for more stringent checks after rules banning such clubs within historic buildings and parks came into effect last month.

At this point it's conventional wisdom that Mr Trump has had a terrible week on the campaign trail.
His top aide was indicted for accosting a reporter. He stumbled when trying to answer questions about abortion, angering both the left and the right. Wisconsin's popular Republican Governor Scott Walker endorsed his opponent, Ted Cruz. And Mr Trump saw his lead in this pivotal mid-western state evaporate.
By Sunday evening, at a rally in a half-full downtown Milwaukee theatre, the front-runner was showing signs of frustration.
He mocked his opponents in the #neverTrump movement, which has vowed to fight the New Yorker to the July Republican convention and beyond.
"If they would have worked so hard, so diligently against President Barack Hussein Obama," he said, "they would have beaten him. They would have had great budgets. They would have had everything they wanted."
Mr Trump enters the Wisconsin primary on Tuesday with a commanding lead over Mr Cruz in the race for 1,237 delegates necessary to secure the Republican nomination, but his path to reach that number is narrow.
If he is soundly defeated in Wisconsin, as polls now indicate is possible, the margin of error in future contests - such as New York, Pennsylvania and California - drops to near zero.
And Wisconsin is proving to be a very difficult nut for Mr Trump to crack. In addition to opposition from Mr Walker, the New Yorker has faced oblique criticism from Paul Ryan, the home-state hero who serves as speaker of the US House of Representatives.
He's also been resoundingly denounced by the most prominent conservative talk-radio commentators in the state.
"I think the deepest concern that talk radio people have about Trump is not so much that he's rude and will say politically incorrect things, but that they don't buy that he's a bona fide conservative," says University of Wisconsin public affairs professor Donald Moynihan.
How radical is Trump?
Five things to know about Ted Cruz

In other states Mr Trump has been able to capitalise on the frustration many rank-and-file Republicans have with their party's leadership, but there are few signs of such a schism in Wisconsin - in part because of the pitched battles conservatives, led by Mr Walker, have fought with liberals in the state, both in the legislature and at the ballot box.
If Trump is routed in Wisconsin, says Scot Ross, executive director of liberal watchdog group One Wisconsin Now, "they're going to say it's because his support has eroded - but it's really because the structure of the state of Wisconsin is tailor made for this to happen to him".
He said that the Wisconsin-based non-profit powerhouse the Bradley Foundation, which has spent hundreds of millions advancing conservative priorities across the US, likely views Mr Trump as a threat. The group, led by Michael Grebe, heavily supported the rise of three influential Wisconsin Republicans - Mr Walker, Mr Ryan and Republican Party head Reince Priebus - and is now quietly organising the Trump resistance in the state.
"This is a total party conspiracy against Donald Trump here that is being fully realised, whether people want to admit it or not."
Meanwhile Mr Cruz is surging in Wisconsin - and increasingly aiming to be the man the Republican Party relies on to take down Mr Trump.
Before a town hall forum in Madison, Wisconsin, on Sunday morning, the Texas senator - who previously had been reviled by Washington insiders as an uncooperative ideologue and political showboat - was boasting about his ability to rally the party behind his banner.
"Across the country 65 to 70% of Republicans recognise that Donald Trump is not the best candidate to go head-to-head with Hillary Clinton," he said. "What we are seeing in Wisconsin is the unity of the Republican Party manifested."
He noted that five former Republican presidential candidates - Rick Perry, Lindsey Graham, Jeb Bush, Carly Fiorina, and Mr Walker - had endorsed him. "You've got the full ideological spectrum of the Republican Party," he said.
Even if Mr Cruz drastically outperforms expectations in Wisconsin and in the states to come, however, his path to the nomination relies on an open convention where formerly committed delegates are free to support whomever they choose after the first rounds of balloting end in a deadlock. He made his pitch for their support in Wisconsin, as well.
"If we get to a contested convention, I believe we will be in a very, very strong position to earn a majority from the delegates who were elected by the people," he said.
He also pushed back against recent calls to change the party rules to allow an open Republican convention to pick a nominee who did not compete in the primaries - such as Wisconsin's Mr Ryan.
"The nice thing is, Washington doesn't control what happens," he said. "The delegates control what happens, and the delegates are elected by the people."
Preventing a so-called "white knight" from taking the nomination is one area where the campaigns of both Mr Cruz and Mr Trump are in agreement.
But Mr Trump, at least on Sunday night, still appeared to have difficulty wrapping his head around the pitched backroom convention battle that may be looming if things don't go his way in Wisconsin - and neither did his supporters.
"If Donald Trump gets the most votes but doesn't win, I think the country would feel cheated," Joe, a Trump fan who works in a Milwaukee water-processing factory, said. "The people are speaking. It not only cheats us, it shows there's a system not listening to the people."
During his speech Mr Trump groused about states like Louisiana, where Mr Cruz's campaign has secured more delegates despite having fewer votes than Mr Trump on the 1 March primary - a pattern that could repeat itself elsewhere and set the stage for convention-floor strife.
"I don't care about rules folks," Mr Trump said. "I go out. I campaign. We win. I get the delegates."
The challenge for Donald Trump is it may not work out that way. And Ted Cruz knows it.
His comments came as he spoke to MPs on the Treasury Committee.
UK rates have been held at 0.5% since March 2009. Most economists are not expecting the Bank to raise rates until mid-2016 at the earliest.
Mr Carney said that "even with limited and gradual rate increases it still will be a relatively low interest rate environment".
He remained vague on when a rate rise might be coming, and added: "The question in my mind is when the appropriate time for interests to increase and that is strongly consistent with the strength of the domestic economy."
Mr Carney also said that he did not see any need for negative interest rates.
Meanwhile, he said the Bank was monitoring groups of households to find out what impact any rate hike would have.
Kirstin Forbes, an external member of the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee, who was also giving evidence at the same hearing, said that the next interest rate move would be upwards.
"Given the state of the UK economy, a solid recovery, I still believe certainly the next move in interest rates will be up, we will not require loosening," she said.
Mr Carney also said productivity was more likely to exceed than undershoot the Bank's latest forecasts, reducing the pressure on inflation.
Meanwhile, sterling fell after the Bank's chief economist Andy Haldane said he saw more downside risks to growth and inflation than had been indicated by the Bank's latest economic outlook.
He also reiterated his view that the Bank's next move might actually be a rate cut.
"I see the balance of risks around UK GDP growth and inflation as skewed materially to the downside, more so than embodied in the November 2015 Inflation Report," he told the Treasury Committee.
In late morning trade sterling fell by 0.03% against the US dollar, to $1.5120, and by 0.15% against the euro, to 1.4198 euros.
AMC's 90-minute series opener of Fear the Walking Dead delivered a record-breaking 10.1 million viewers, the network said.
Set in Los Angeles, the prequel focuses on a group of characters in the early days of the zombie apocalypse.
The first season will run for six episodes and will return for a second season of 15 episodes in 2016.
Sunday's opening episode beat The Walking Dead's premiere viewing figures of 5.35 million in 2010.
It delivered 6.3 million adults in the 18-to-49 demographic which is favoured by advertisers. The previous record in the same demographic was AMC's Breaking Bad spin-off Better Call Saul - 4.4 million - earlier this year.
Reviewing the first episode, Variety's Brian Lowry said: "For Walking Dead fans, Fear does tap into a fertile vein, since the earlier show's main protagonist, Rick, slept through humanity's fall in a coma, leaving flashbacks to putty in only some of the gaps."
Matt Fowler wrote on IGN that Fear the Walking Dead brought a welcome shift in location, tone, and characters.
"Like Telltale's The Walking Dead video games, it's able to present us with an whole new cast of characters while demonstrating that it's really the zombified world that that's the star of the show and all that you really need for there to be a spinoff."
The Walking Dead has been a huge hit for AMC. Its sixth season is due to begin in October.
More than 180 artists have signed an open letter criticising the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).
They claim the law benefits companies that "exploit music for their financial enrichment", but not artists.
One journalist said the music industry was "making mischief" to get more money from sites such as YouTube.
At the heart of the open letter is a claim that "music consumption has skyrocketed" but the money earned by writers and artists has "plummeted".
Figures from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) show that CD sales in the US fell from $13bn (£9bn) in 1999, to $1.5bn in 2015. Paid music subscriptions and downloads totalled $3.4bn last year, failing to make up the shortfall.
The open letter appears to lay the blame on the DMCA, which protects websites from being sued if users upload copyright music.
It has been published at a time when the US congress is evaluating the DMCA, and record labels are renegotiating deals with YouTube.
The letter has been signed by major record labels and a variety of singers including Cher, Lady Gaga, Engelbert Humperdinck, Britney Spears and Sir Elton John.
The DMCA has a so-called "safe harbour" provision that stops websites being held responsible for copyright infringement by their users.
A website cannot usually be blamed if its users upload copyright music or videos - as long as the site removes the infringing content when it becomes aware of it.
The open letter said musicians did not have the resources to search for copyright infringement and then report it to websites.
"It's impossible for tens of thousands of individual songwriters and artists to muster the resources necessary," it said.
The letter comes a week after a US federal appeals court ruled that video sharing site Vimeo could not be held responsible for pre-1972 music recordings uploaded to the site by its users.
Critics of the open letter have highlighted the fact that some websites already offer tools that can automatically detect copyright infringement.
"YouTube offers sophisticated tools that not only allow the music industry to zap unauthorised videos but, if they choose, to insert ads to make money off them instead," wrote law reporter Jeff Roberts in Fortune.
YouTube has previously explained that 99.5% of copyright claims on its platform are dealt with automatically, and that in 95% of cases the music industry puts ads on unauthorised uploads rather than blocking them.
Facebook has said it is developing its own content detection tools, which are currently available to selected media partners - and there are third party tools such as Kobalt, which record labels can use to trawl social media sites and detect copyright music.
"The bottom line is that the music industry is still coming to terms with how to make up for the loss of CD sales, which provided labels with enormous profit margins they have been unable to reproduce in the digital era," wrote Mr Roberts.
"That's a problem for the industry, but not one that will be solved by misguided attacks on YouTube and the DMCA."
The open letter was printed in a number of publications distributed in Washington DC on Tuesday.
Their study on 111 people, published in the journal Physical Biology, could spot the difference between healthy and heart-attack patients.
They are investigating whether testing for the cells can be used to predict those about to have a heart attack.
The British Heart Foundation said it was unlikely to change practice in the short term.
The team, at the Scripps Research Institute in California, looked for circulating endothelial cells in the blood of patients.
Fatty plaques build up on the walls of blood vessels and can ultimately rupture, releasing fragments of the plaque into the bloodstream. This can block the flow of blood in the vessels around the heart and cause a heart attack.
During this process endothelial cells were also released into the blood, the researchers said.
Tests in 79 patients after a heart attack were compared with 25 healthy people and seven having treatment for diseased blood vessels.
One of the researchers, Prof Peter Kuhn, said: "The goal of this paper was to establish evidence that these circulating endothelial cells can be detected reliably in patients following a heart attack and do not exist in healthy controls, which we have achieved.
"Our results were so significant relative to the healthy controls that the obvious next step is to assess the usefulness of the test in identifying patients during the early stages of a heart attack."
Commenting on the findings, Dr Mike Knapton, from the British Heart Foundation, said: "In the short to medium term, it is unlikely to change how people in the UK are treated as we already have good ways to treat and diagnose heart attacks, and targets to ensure rapid pain-to-treatment times.
"This study appears to be laying the groundwork for future research to see if this test could be used to identify patients in the early stages of a heart attack."
Thomas Leonard was caught when someone mistook him for a burglar on a shed roof after he had climbed up to film a semi-naked girl asleep on her bed.
Police found almost a million indecent images of children and pictures of child sex abuse on his laptop.
The 23-year-old, from Nottinghamshire, also had sex with a 14-year-old girl.
Leonard, of Bracken Avenue, New Ollerton, admitted 21 charges and was sentenced at Nottingham Crown Court on Monday.
Det Insp Pete Quinn, from Nottinghamshire Police, said Leonard's behaviour was extreme.
"I've been dealing with these offences for some time and this is the first case I've known of somebody going to these lengths," he said.
"Leonard was obsessed with sex and pornography. It pretty much defined his life and defined what he did, day-in day-out."
Police found hours of footage on his phone, including children in playgrounds and women he had followed in public.
"It was clearly something he took some sexual gratification from," said Det Insp Quinn.
"Some of the footage would be an adult female some distance away and maybe the camera would pan down to himself."
Leonard had sex with a 14-year-old girl he groomed on Facebook, but Det Insp Quinn believes he would have sexually assaulted a random woman or child if he had not been caught.
When his home was searched in October 2014 police found more than 900,000 indecent images of female children on his laptop, including images he had downloaded and some he created himself.
Some of the images were "pseudo" images, which he created by doctoring photos to make them pornographic.
There were so many indecent images that only a small percentage could be categorised, but they included more than 500 classed as Category A - the most serious type.
The 21 charges were:
Javad Zarif said that the agreement would open new ways to address common challenges such as extremism in the Middle East.
US Secretary of State John Kerry agreed that they were "making progress" but said lots of work was still to be done.
Negotiators are racing to meet a deadline for an agreement on 7 July.
Mr Zarif called for an end to "coercion and pressure" at the nuclear talks, in the video message on Friday.
He said that Iran was ready to strike a deal and that negotiators had "never been closer to a lasting outcome".
Mr Zarif said there was also the promise of greater cooperation to tackle extremist violence.
"The menace we're facing, and I say we, because no-one is spared, is embodied by the hooded men who are ravaging the cradle of civilisation. To deal with this new challenge, new approaches are badly needed," he said.
But the BBC's Barbara Plett Usher in Vienna says that the question of whether a deal will actually be achieved still hovers over the talks.
The so-called P5+1 group - the US, UK, France, China and Russia plus Germany - wants Iran to scale back its sensitive nuclear activities to ensure that it cannot build a nuclear weapon.
Iran, which wants international sanctions that have crippled its economy lifted in exchange, has always insisted that its nuclear work is peaceful.
Russia's chief negotiator Sergei Ryabkov said the text of the agreement was more than 90% complete.
Some of the major sticking points have included the timing of sanctions relief and the question of access for UN nuclear inspectors.
Mr Kerry told reporters that some "tough issues" still remained but that progress had been made.
On Monday, the US warned that a framework deal agreed in Switzerland in April had to remain the basis for a comprehensive agreement.
It followed a speech by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has the final say on all Iranian state matters, in which he rejected the key demands of the P5+1.
He insisted Iran would only dismantle its nuclear infrastructure if the sanctions were lifted first. He also ruled out a freeze on research and development for 10 years, as well as inspections of military sites.
Yukiya Amano, head of the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), has said that meetings with Iran's President Hassan Rouhani had resulted in a "better understanding on some ways forward", but that more work was needed.
The deadline for reaching a comprehensive agreement on Tehran's nuclear programme has already been extended from the 30 June.
In the US, President Barack Obama has until 9 July to submit details of a final accord to Congress, triggering a 30-day review period before it can be signed and any US sanctions waived.
If a deal is submitted after 9 July, the review period will be doubled to 60 days.
The Colorado team made brilliant clouds of plasma emerge from a specially prepared solution and maintained them for nearly half a second.
In nature, ball lightning has been seen to float across land or through buildings and to even bounce down the aisles of aircraft.
But its rarity has made it extremely hard to study and to understand.
The US Air Force Academy team hopes its new approach can help science to better understand this strange spectacle.
Dr Mike Lindsay, who led the study published in the Journal of Physical Chemistry, said: "Ball lightning is used almost generically to describe phenomena seen in nature that aren't described by normal lightning, bead lightning or things like 'St Elmo's fire', or aurora. And likely it's not one thing but several things that have similar observables."
According to some reports, the famous physicist and inventor Nikola Tesla was able to make ball lightning in his lab when he was based at Colorado Springs in 1899/1900. But if he did create it, he did not describe his methods in a way that has allowed anyone since to reproduce his work.
Eye-witness reports of ball lightning vary wildly in the size of the ball, how long it lasts, and how it moves.
Rhys Phillips, a lightning research engineer and science broadcaster, said: "To me at least, lightning is still not the word for what we're talking about here. We understand lightning to be a very fast discharge from one point to another - for example, a cloud to the Earth - (through a complex process admittedly) and the observations in [the current] paper don't describe that."
Dr Lindsay does not disagree with this assessment.
In the paper, he and his colleagues describe previous research that generated what they refer to as a "glow discharge" of plasma (a charged gas) above an electrolyte solution.
The new experiments re-use those earlier methods, but then manipulate the conditions to try to get the balls to last as long as possible.
Dr Lindsay explained: "I don't think what we've created is lightning, although the initial stages of the electrical discharge that produce this 'plasmoid' have many similarities to lightning. They're just electric arcs - in this case, electric arcs to the surface of this solution of electrolytes. And then what happens is this plasmoid emerges from it.
"So, I would agree that [going by] the general definition of lightning - no, this is not the same."
Using high-speed cameras to monitor their creations, the researchers found that altering the acidity of the electrolyte solution led to longer lasting balls.
This is beneficial, as the longer the spheres persist, the longer the team has to investigate their properties.
As well as video cameras, the scientists used other imaging techniques to look at the infra-red profile of the balls, and how their density and structure changed over time.
The results suggest water vapour and carbon dioxide are present within the balls, along with some other, as-yet unidentified, features.
Although the academy researchers concede there is an "open question" still over how representative their creations are, only by extending the lifetime of the spheres and opening them up to more detailed study will it be possible to find a more convincing answer, they argue.
"I need to be honest: we're not sure that this is the same phenomenon as ball lightning," said Dr Lindsay.
"It has many similarities, and it's clearly not similar to better known phenomena such as St Elmo's fire or bead lightning, which are well known and understood in nature.
"Our research showed that there was still room to increase the lifetime and we're in the process of further reaching those conditions. We need to purchase some more equipment to reach those domains," he told BBC News.
The tax on the soft drinks industry was announced in the Budget, and will take effect from 2018.
Mr Osborne said the policy was legal and the government would "robustly" defend it against any court challenge.
He said the tax was the "right" thing to do, would help to combat childhood obesity and had been widely welcomed.
Mr Osborne told the Treasury Select Committee many companies were already doing "the right thing" by reducing sugar in their products and urged others to follow suit.
Asked about reports that some companies were considering challenging the legality of the policy, he said: "I would say, if they want to have an argument about the sugar tax, bring it on.
"We are going to introduce a sugar tax, it's not a threat or a promise, it's the way it's going to be."
The chancellor said the government would consult on technical details of tax ahead of its introduction in 2018 - a date, he said, which had been chosen to allow firms time to adjust.
Firms should use that period to "reformulate" their products rather than "waste time and money" on a legal challenge to the tax, he added.
The sugar tax on soft drinks was a surprise announcement by the chancellor in his Budget statement on 16 March.
It will be levied on the volume of the sugar-sweetened drinks companies produce or import.
There will be two bands - one for total sugar content above 5 grams per 100 millilitres and a second, higher, band for the most sugary drinks with more than 8 grams per 100 millilitres, with the levels yet to be set.
The £530m it is expected to raise - the equivalent of about 18-24p per litre, the government says - will be spent on primary school sports in England, with the devolved administrations in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland free to decide how to spend their share.
Since independence from France in 1960, Gabon has had just three presidents. Late President Omar Bongo ruled for more than four decades until his death in 2009.
During Omar Bongo's rule, Gabon maintained a close relationship with France under a system known as "Francafrique", receiving both political and military support in exchange for business favours.
But relations have cooled since his son Ali won a contested election in 2009 and French authorities launched a long-running corruption investigation into the family's assets.
Gabon is a major oil producer but a third of its population live in poverty, according to the World Bank.
Population 1.5 million
Area 267,667 sq km (103,347 sq miles)
Languages French, Bantu-group languages
Religion Christianity
Life expectancy 62 years (men), 64 years (women)
Currency CFA (Communaute Financiere Africaine) franc
President: Ali Ben Bongo Ondimba
Ali Bongo was sworn in for a second seven-year term in September 2016, after Gabon's constitutional court upheld his narrow victory in a bitterly disputed election.
Main rival Jean Ping described the court's decision as a "miscarriage of justice" amid opposition claims of vote fraud.
Mr Bongo took over from his late father Omar Bongo, who ruled Gabon for 41 years until his death in 2009.
He has pledged to address some of the issues that have fuelled anger among the country's 1.8 million people, like youth unemployment and over-reliance on falling oil revenues
But his presidency has been overshadowed by a long-running French investigation into allegations of embezzlement involving the Bongo family's assets.
Born in 1959 in Brazzaville, Congo where his father was serving in the armed forces, Mr Bongo was educated in France.
Gabon's main broadcast media are government-controlled.
In 2013, Reporters Without Borders acknowledged the authorities had made some progress in media freedom but said journalists still faced "police brutality and intimidation by officials". The watchdog called for an overhaul of the country's 2001 media law.
There were more than 670,000 internet users out of a population of 1.5 million by November 2015. (Internetworldstats.com).
Some key dates in Gabon's history:
14th-19th century - European settlers: Arrival of Portuguese slave traders, followed by French, Dutch and British.
1839 - France signs treaties with Gabonese coastal chiefs. Local Mpongwe ruler signs away sovereignty to the French.
1910 - Gabon becomes one of four territories making up French Equatorial Africa.
1958 - Gabon votes to become autonomous republic in the French Community.
1960 - Gabon declares independence.
1967 - Omar Bongo becomes president after the death Leon Mba.
1967-2009 - Omar Bongo dominates Gabonese politics, serving seven consecutive terms.
1990s - Multi-party political system introduced.
2003 - Constitution amended to repeal term limits, ensuring President Bongo holds the presidency for life.
2009 - Death of Omar Bongo, succeeded by his son Ali Ben Bongo Ondimba. | A man has been convicted of the 1998 murder of Surjit Singh Chhokar after being tried for a second time.

The Tonga international was already the oldest player to have pulled on a shirt in the Pro12 (Now Pro14) before accepting a new one year contract with the Wales region.
He should overtake Brad Thorn's Aviva Premiership age record of 40 years and 109 days during the season, making him the oldest top-flight professional player in British rugby history.
"I am happy with my contract and I think I have one last year," said Filise, before adding "But this is the last one, 40 is too old for this game!"
Filise was born in Malapo, Tonga, on 26 May 1977 during the final years of Welsh rugby's golden era.
After growing up in Tonga, he joined the Bay of Plenty in New Zealand and later the Auckland Blues Super Rugby side, where he played alongside former Cardiff Blues number eight Xavier Rush.
His 29 Tonga appearances included the 2007 and 2011 Rugby World Cups before concentrating on the final part of his career in Wales.
Filise has made a record 241 appearances for the Blues since his arrival from Bath in 2006, but he says his age doesn't cross his mind.
"I didn't think about getting to 40, I just kept going every year," said Filise.
"I feel my body is still fit. I have been fortunate on the injury front. I am just training harder and looking after the body. I still feel fresh to go."
Age is clearly not an issue for Blues coach Danny Wilson either, with Filise's front-row colleague Matthew Rees - a relative novice at merely 36 - also among six players accepting contract extensions at the region.
With prop and captain Gethin Jenkins also 36, this particular regional front-row will have a combined age of 112.
Jenkins is recovering from minor knee surgery in the summer and will miss the start of the campaign but could soon be reunited with Filise and Rees.
"I feel as if I am the same age (as Jenkins and Rees)," added Filise.
"The young Blues props are also full of energy, but I try to compete with them.
"I try and look after them because they are the future for the region. I am happy to be playing with them and know they are strong."
Wilson insists Filise has earned his new contract on merit after a powerful end to the season typified by his outstanding performance against the Ospreys at Judgement Day at the Principality Stadium.
"He is still doing a great job and playing well," said Wilson.
"He is our most consistent scrummaging tight-head.
"In some of the big high speed intensity games towards the end of last season he delivered really good performances.
"We manage him in a certain way and make sure training-wise he does the required amount and no more.
"He is in great nick and still making the test scores that are relevant to be a professional rugby player at this level.
"He is a popular man in the squad and another part of his role is to impart that knowledge to some of those young props coming through our system." | Cardiff Blues prop Taufa'ao Filise admits 40 is too old for modern rugby, but won't let it stop him enjoying one more season in the top flight. | 40,941,645 | 691 | 41 | false |
Education Secretary Michael Gove wanted new O-level-style GCSE exams and tougher A-levels introduced in 2015.
But Ofqual said it could not be confident "high-quality GCSEs" or new A-levels in maths and modern languages would be ready so soon.
Mr Gove accepted the exam boards needed more time to get it right.
The education secretary has been clear he is in a hurry to change the exams system, describing the current GCSEs as "not fit for purpose".
But teaching unions, head teachers, examiners and elite private school leaders have expressed concerns about the pace of change to the system.
The regulator, Ofqual, warned soon after the shake-up was first announced that it would intervene if it thought the programme of reform was moving too fast.
In a letter to Mr Gove, just published on the Ofqual website, chief regulator Glenys Stacey wrote: "It is clear that the amount of work needed on GCSEs, including the development of strengthened regulatory arrangements, means we cannot be confident that new, high-quality GCSEs in all subjects could be ready in good time for first teaching from 2015."
The exams regulator says it will focus on the new GCSEs in English literature, language and maths - the subjects with which there are the "biggest concerns" - and hopes to have these ready for first teaching in September 2015.
But the new GCSEs in science, history and geography will be delayed until 2016.
Ms Stacey added a review looking at the planned new A-levels had found "fundamental" work was needed on maths and further maths.
More time would also be needed for new A-levels in modern languages, she said.
Mr Gove wrote back, saying he had agreed the reformed GCSEs should be "re-phased".
In the letter, dated 6 September, he says: "We must replace the modular GCSE treadmill with exams that encourage the skills universities and employers want, such as essay writing and mathematical problem-solving.
"That is why I wanted new GCSEs in core academic subjects to be in place for teaching from 2015.
"However, I accept that much more rigorous regulatory demands should be put in place and that Ofqual needs more time to develop them."
A spokesman for Mr Gove said: "Existing GCSEs encourage a 'memorise and regurgitate' approach to education.
"We urgently need to replace them with tests that encourage higher level skills such as essay writing, mathematical modelling, and problem-solving.
"Ofqual thinks that the necessary changes are so big that they and the exam boards need more time to make sure they get things right.
"We have to balance the urgency of fixing exams against the dangers of repeating past mistakes.
"Focusing on English and maths first makes sense.
"Many people have opposed reforming exams and criticise us for moving quickly - but if schools and exams don't change quickly, even more children will be failed."
Christine Blower, head of the NUT, said: "It was always a ridiculous idea of Michael Gove's that such massive changes to the examination system could be carried out so quickly.
"This delay will now enable the content and structure to be considered in greater detail."
She added: "It is useful for Ofqual to prioritise English and maths specifications as the first syllabuses to go into schools and colleges, but all the new qualifications should be trialled and evaluated before being introduced."
Russell Hobby, general secretary of heads' union, NAHT, said: "If the government is struggling to design the new exams in the timescales envisaged how much harder will it be for schools to develop programmes, write materials and train staff at the same pace? More haste less speed." | Much of the government's plans to revamp England's exams system are being delayed by a year because of concerns by the exams watchdog, Ofqual. | 23,993,574 | 840 | 34 | false |
It was initially thought nine-week-old Bellini, who was dumped when just a few days old, was male.
But several weeks later, vets discovered the unusual condition during a routine neutering procedure when they found male and female genitalia.
Adoption centre manager Sonia Scowcroft said it would be up to Bellini's new owners to choose a gender.
Ms Scowcroft, of Cats Protection in St Helens, Merseyside, said she had only ever seen one other hermaphrodite cat in 3,000 animals.
She said: "We have got used to calling Bellini a boy, but really it is up to his new owner to decide what they think is best.
"Either way, he is an absolute cutie pie and will make a really lovely pet."
Bellini has a slight heart murmur so will need regular veterinary checks, the adoption centre said.
The animal is ready to be re-homed with Daiquiri, a female kitten born in the same litter.
Sarah Elliott, Cats Protection's central veterinary officer, said hermaphrodite cats "do not frequently occur".
She said: "This may arise through mosaicism - which is when a kitten's cells divide unusually while the kitten is a growing embryo.
"Such mosaicism may result in a cat with either male or female reproductive organs and genitalia, or a pair of mixed reproductive organs and genitalia.
"Bellini appears to be in the last group with a mixture of both." | A hermaphrodite kitten has left rescuers at a loss over how they should refer to it. | 36,074,765 | 349 | 25 | false |
Mitie took over "hotel services" at the Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust (RCHT) in 2014 as part of a £90m contract.
The union Unison said the "situation was not being resolved" after months of failures.
RCHT said high standards were required and it was working with the firm. Mitie has refused to comment.
The latest figures reveal Mitie was fined up to 67% of its monthly profit in the past four months for failures at the trust.
One anonymous employee of the company told BBC News: "We were told the first 18 months might be a bumpy ride, the 18 months are up and it's getting worse. Things are not getting better.
"I think the patients are suffering, they don't get the same care. We're under such pressure now to get everything done the patients and staff are suffering."
Sarah Woodward, from Unison, said: "Continuously things don't seem to be improving. This situation is not being resolved.
"If there are critical service failures, it would suggest patients are at risk, which is a huge worry and something our members would want to avoid at all costs."
She said the "situation needs reviewing".
Service failures include emergency bedside calls not being answered within target times and requests for patient meals or drinks not being delivered on time.
Any failures mean Mitie accrues penalty points, which RCHT translates into deductions from the company's profit margin.
In February, 16,006 points were accrued, 18,000 in January, 13,540 in December and more than 38,000 in November, trust figures have revealed, with further failures reported in 2015.
The trust said: "It is a priority for us that the hotel services provided to patients and to support clinical staff are of a high standard.
"We will continue to require these high standards and work with Mitie to ensure their consistent delivery."
The government plans to allow people to spend their pension pots how they wish rather than having to buy an annuity, which guarantees an annual income.
Mr Duncan Smith told Sky News they would not "blow" their savings.
Labour has said it will support the coalition's plans.
But it has asked for more detail on what they will mean "in practice".
In Wednesday's Budget, Chancellor George Osborne said new rules were due to come in from April 2015, subject to consultation, with some existing regulations to be relaxed from next Thursday.
It is expected that anyone over the age of 55 who belongs to a defined contribution scheme, such as a private pension scheme (as opposed to a final-salary scheme) will be able to take out their savings as a lump sum to spend or invest as they wish.
Mr Duncan Smith told Sky News: "I think this Budget will go down as one of the greatest Budgets, signalling a new departure for Great Britain's economy and for people who have actually tried hard get rewarded."
In the week, Liberal Democrat pensions minister Steve Webb said it was people's "choice" how they spent their pension pot, when asked if the money could go on a Lamborghini sports car.
Mr Webb told BBC One's Sunday Politics he was "very much in listening mode" over the way in which the changes would be implemented.
Mr Duncan Smith agreed that those over 55 would get more financial freedom, but added: "What they will actually do is to go out and find some (investment) vehicle to give them better returns than their annuities."
Asked whether many of those affected would put their money into buy-to-let properties, possibly creating a price bubble, he replied: "I'm not going to speculate on what somebody approaching retirement and not earning much in annuities will do."
The state, rather than savers, had "historically been the most profligate" user of money, Mr Duncan Smith said.
Speaking on BBC One's Andrew Marr Show, Liberal Democrat Chief Secretary to the Treasury Danny Alexander said: "I think a lot of people will [still] want to buy annuities.
"There's still a very strong market there... This will also help to make the annuity market more competitive."
For Labour, shadow work and pensions secretary Rachel Reeves said on Friday that the annuities and pension market currently did "not work well for people who have saved all their lives".
She told BBC Radio 4's Any Questions: "I support reform and I support what has been announced this week, although we need to see a lot more detail about what that will mean in practice."
Speaking on the Andrew Marr Show, shadow business secretary Chuka Umunna said: "We need to see the bill and I'm not going to sign a blank sheet of paper."
The official AFL website promoted merchandise naming Sam Mitchell the code's best and fairest player, when in fact Nat Fyfe was the real winner.
The mistake - attributed to human error - drew harsh criticism on social media.
The AFL's media manager, Patrick Keane, did not hold back either, describing the image as an "epic website fail".
As soon as the mistake was realised the AFL removed the erroneous post.
Screenshots circulating online show the framed "Grand Sam Mitchell 2015 Brownlow Medalist Signed Guernsey" was selling for A$1,364 ($948, £625).
"Widely regarded as the premier contested ball winner in the game with a side-step and delivery to match, Mitchell has continued to develop new dimensions to his game," the deleted post said.
The AFL's Patrick Keane tweeted: "[we] had six Brownlow memorabilia options ready to go 4 when winner named. Human error went live with no result known. [The] AFL apologises without reservation to all fans/supporters who have been misled."
Some angry fans demanded a refund on bets they had placed, as local media reports the post pushed Mitchell's odds from A$11 to $3.
Number eight Sioned Harries is ruled out by illness and replaced by Alisha Butchers, with Dragons centre Gemma Rowlands coming in to the replacements.
Back-rower Mel Clay replacing Jenny Hawkins had been the only previous change to the replacements bench.
Wales are currently third in the table after winning their previous two games.
England are top after winning all three of their matches and are the only side that can still win the Grand Slam.
Wales claimed only their second win against England with a 13-0 victory at St Helen's in Swansea last year.
"Going in to the championship, it was always our target to beat England away, as we have never achieved this in the past," Wales coach Rhys Edwards said.
"We have taken confidence from our result last year in St Helen's, and the way we have developed this year.
"We've shown that when we perform we can compete against anyone. We now have to be confident that if we focus on our own processes we can beat anyone."

The portrait had been expected to fetch up to £500,000 at the Christie's sale.
The Old Master painting was bought by Derbyshire priest, Father Jamie MacLeod, from an antiques shop in Cheshire for £400 in 1992.
It was identified as a Van Dyck after Roadshow presenter Fiona Bruce spotted it during filming and thought it might be genuine.
Bruce, who was making a programme about the artist at the time, asked expert Phillip Mould to examine the artwork during an episode of the Antiques Roadshow, which was screened last December.
After a lengthy restoration process, it was verified as authentic by Dr Christopher Brown, one of the world's leading authorities on Van Dyck.
The painting is believed to be a sketch for a work called The Magistrates of Brussels, which hung in the city's town hall until it was destroyed by a French attack in 1695.
Ahead of the auction in London, Christie's specialist Freddie de Rougemont said: "The picture is of great importance as it provides a fascinating insight into Van Dyck's working method and also constitutes a significant surviving document for the artist's lost group portrait of The Magistrates of Brussels."
See more of Van Dyck's paintings on the Your Paintings site, a partnership between the BBC and the PCF, which has published over 212,000 publicly owned art works online.
Your Paintings: Anthony Van Dyck
Van Dyck was born in modern-day Belgium and came to work in England in 1632 at the invitation of King Charles I.
At the same auction of Old Master and British Paintings, Saint Praxedis by Johannes Vermeer - one of the only two works by the artist which remained in private hands - was sold for £6.2m.
It formed part of the collection of late US collector Barbara Piasecka Johnson with the proceeds going to her charitable foundation, Christie's said.
There had been doubts about the authenticity of the work for some years, which Vermeer created in the early part of his career.
But tests carried out on the paints used in the work were found to be consistent with other Vermeers.
And, at the age of 40, Richard Whitehead isn't done yet.
"If I was beaten by a 40-year-old, I'd be pretty embarrassed," says the man who will attempt to win two gold medals at the World Para-athletics Championships, days before his 41st birthday.
"I want the other athletes to be inspired by my performances. This is who I am. I'm looking forward to seeing the podium again."
With four decades under his belt, Britain's Whitehead is the antipathy of the modern, media-trained athlete. He says what he thinks, wins races and puts on a show while doing it.
At London 2012, he stormed to victory in the T42 200m, setting a world record.
Whitehead, who has two prosthetics after being born without the lower part of his legs, has dominated the event, winning titles at the 2011, 2013 and 2015 World Championships, and at Rio 2016.
And rather than slowing down as time ticks by, he's getting faster - improving on his world record earlier this year with a time of 23.01 seconds and pursuing at least one gold medal when the World Championships begin at London Stadium on Friday.
But sprint stardom may never have occurred. Having become the fastest double-amputee marathon runner in history, he was told his classification would not feature in the long distance at his home Paralympics in 2012.
So, at the age of 35, the Nottingham athlete looked for a new, shorter challenge.
"I remember when I first had the conversation with the British Athletics performance director for the Paralympics, Peter Eriksson, and he said I was too old for athletics," said Whitehead.
"Look where I am now. It shows anything is possible."
That conversation was before London 2012, at which he proved the doubters wrong in the same stadium where he seeks gold again on Saturday night.
"It's a stadium I'll always treasure," he said. "I have so many memories in there.
"I will always remember that buzz when I came out of the bend in the 200m final. It was like a jet engine pulling me through to the finish line."
There is also the small matter of the 100m at the World Championships, an event in which he took silver at Rio 2016, finishing behind Australia's Scott Reardon.
As a double-leg amputee, Whitehead's starts out of the blocks are slower than those of his single-amputee rival - but the sight of the Briton storming through the field in the last 20 metres and only just failing to catch Reardon was a thrilling moment at the last Paralympics.
"I think I would have retired after Rio if I had won the 100m as well," Whitehead said. "In one respect, I'm thankful to Scott for giving me another year.
"I'm quite a strong, powerful athlete and I'm having to get rid of some of that power and get more technical. So hopefully that can help me deliver in the 100m as well as the 200m."
The question about retirement follows Whitehead around wherever he goes. He has never hidden his desire to get back to marathons and the perceived wisdom is that a home World Championships would be the perfect way to finish a successful track career.
"It may be my last event - I'm non-committal," is his reply to the retirement question this time around.
"It's an important decision for me and my family. I still feel I can continue to push that world record. I'll make the decision after the games.
"Friends and family say I should keep going. But I want to finish while I'm at the top, where I can say I've given all I can. Then maybe I move into a management role to help younger athletes.
"But I've had a great innings. If it's my last race, it will be emotional. It's also a great opportunity to set that legacy and say I'm not just a Paralympian and that I've got a lot to offer."
The Hale Eruv Project Trust has lodged a planning application for the 12-mile perimeter around the Trafford village.
An eruv is an area enclosed by a symbolic and physical boundary that allows orthodox religious Jews to carry or push certain items outside of their homes on the Sabbath.
However, a multi-faith group has claimed it will create community "tension" and benefit only 100 people.
Read more on this and other stories from around Greater Manchester
The South Trafford against the Eruv group - made up of Jewish, Christian, Muslim and humanist campaigners - said 120 residents had opposed the eruv, which would have a detrimental effect on "social cohesion, in times when religious privilege could lead to hatred and factionalism within the community".
They wrote on Facebook that the "majority of the Jewish community in the area are opposed to this proposal as they prefer to live peacefully in our diverse community".
A spokeswoman for the trust said only a "very small minority of Jewish residents" and the eruv would have "minimal impact on non-Jewish people's lives in the area and will not raise tensions".
"People will struggle to see it especially if they don't know what they are looking for," she said.
She added that the council decision over the eruv, which also includes parts of Altrincham, "could be known in a month or so".
The boundary will be constructed using existing buildings with gaps plugged at 50 locations by 95 six-metre (19ft) high galvanised steel poles connected by nylon wire.
It would be the 11th eruv in the UK and slightly smaller than the current largest, a 13-mile boundary around parts of Prestwich, Crumpsall and Higher Broughton in Greater Manchester.
Under Jewish law (Torah), it is forbidden to carry everyday items such as reading glasses or house keys or push a wheelchair or pushchair between sundown on Friday and sundown on Saturday.
These are allowed within an eruv although carrying money or a mobile phone or going to shops, the cinema or taking part in sport are still prohibited.
They were in a Defender, towing a horse box, on the A82 near Loch Lomond when a Discovery driven in the opposite direction was in collision with them.
The 47-year-old woman driving the Defender and her 13-year-old passenger are being treated in hospital for serious injuries.
The horse that was being carried in the trailer died at the scene.
The crash happened between Duck Bay and the Stoneymollan roundabout.
The 59-year-old driver of the Discovery was not injured.
Insp Adam McKenzie, of Police Scotland, said: "This was a very serious road crash and I would appeal to anyone who witnessed what happened to please get in touch.
"If you were on the A82 around the time of the incident and may have seen either of the vehicles involved driving on the road, or witnessed the actual collision, you may be able to assist with our inquiries, and it is important that we speak to you."

World number one Andy Murray, who received a bye in the first round, will play Italy's Fabio Fognini on Monday.
Britain's number two Kyle Edmund is also in action on Monday, against Portugal's Joao Sousa in the first round.
The man was seen trying to bounce his way through the dual carriageway Marketgait underpass, which has no pedestrian footpath, at about 03:00.
One witness said the man "looked very drunk" as he was chased down the tunnel by officers.
Police Scotland confirmed that the man had been spoken to, but no formal action was taken.
Witness Jamie Shankland told BBC Scotland's Newsdrive programme it was a surreal sight.
He said: "It was like a scene from the movie The Hangover."
Mr Shankland said he stopped his car because a police car was blocking the lane and there was a "commotion".
"As I pulled out past the police car I noticed there was a big red balloon on the road," he said.
"It wasn't until I passed and saw the two horns on top of it that I noticed it was a space hopper.
"I can only assume that the gentleman was space hoppering for some time because there is no path there."
Mr Shankland said the man was being questioned by police when he saw him.
"You could tell from the sheepish look on his face that he knew he was doing something wrong but he did not know what it was," he said.
"He looked very drunk to be honest."
Mr Shankland added: "He was coming towards the oncoming cars, he wasn't bouncing away from them, so it could have been a worse story to tell."
Environmental activists disrupted the west London airport's M4 spur road as a number of groups demonstrated on Saturday over the government's recent decision to approve a third runway.
Fifteen arrests were made for obstructing the highway or public order offences.
Traffic was disrupted but there was no reported impact on flights.
Protesters from the environmental organisation Rising Up! also locked themselves together as they blocked the East Ramp road near the airport.
Other campaigners gathered on the flyover to chant "No ifs, no buts, no third runway" and "No more runways".
A Heathrow spokesman warned passengers to allow extra time to travel or to use public transport where possible.
A spokesman for Rising Up! said: "The government's decisions to expand Heathrow, despite mass opposition from local residents and the fact that doing so is incompatible with the UK's own laws on climate change, leaves us with no morally acceptable option but to resist."
Neil Keveren, a resident of nearby Harmondsworth, said: "Democracy has failed us.
"As a direct result, the quality of life and life expectancy of the population here will be shorter.
"This is against our human rights and must be defended. Who is left to correct this injustice when our politicians will not?
"The answer is us - you and me."
A spokeswoman for Heathrow said: "Independent analysis by the Airports Commission has found that building and operating an additional runway at Heathrow is compatible with the UK meeting its long-term climate change reduction targets.
"The Independent Committee on Climate Change has also shown that a 60% growth in passenger numbers in the United Kingdom can be achieved within the UK's Climate Change Targets."
The @MetPoliceEvents account confirmed the arrests on its Twitter feed.
The firm says the MacBook Pro's Touch Bar provides software-specific commands that are more "intuitive" to use than the function keys it replaces.
The announcement was not a surprise, however, because of an earlier leak.
Apple had not updated its MacBook Pro laptops since May 2015. Its MacBook Air models were two months older still.
That has impacted sales. Earlier this week Apple revealed that it had sold 10% fewer Macs in the year ending 24 September than over the prior 12 months.
Researchers suggest the wider PC market has also shrunk, but to a lesser extent.
"The lack of updates was part of the problem, but it's also the case that the competition has got a lot stronger," commented Roberta Cozza from the tech consultancy Gartner.
"Over the past year we've seen more interest from both business customers and consumers in Windows 10 computers, which have benefited from both the new operating system as well as better designs and better pricing from their manufacturers.
"For some time, Apple's main focus has been the iPhone - which accounts for much of its revenue - and making the iPad a better productive tool. But there are still many users who want PC-grade performance, and they needed this Mac refresh."
There was no update to the MacBook or MacBook Air laptops, nor to the firm's iMac or Mac Pro desktop PCs.

The figures include desktops and laptops - including hybrid models with detachable touchscreens - but not dedicated tablets such as the iPad Pro
Apple's software chief Craig Federighi gave several examples of how the new Touch Bar could be used, including ways to:
The innovation helps address the fact the laptops' main displays are not touchscreens and cannot be used with a stylus, as is the case with many Windows 10 PCs as well as Apple's iPad Pro.
"It works as a miniature tablet built into the keyboard, allowing users to seamlessly move between keys and a much more nuanced touch interface without lifting a hand," commented Rhoda Alexander from the tech consultancy IHS Markit.
"By contrast, the beauty of a stylus is that it allows you to bring the fluidity of pen input across a myriad of applications, without having to use a particular graphics program to support it.
"The Touch Bar approach may lack some of the fluidity of the stylus solution but offsets that with convenience, the ability to seamlessly blend key functionality and touch input."
Apple did deliver innovation. The Touch Bar is a smart way of giving users a new interface with their computers while differentiating the MacBook Pro from the touchscreen iPad.
But it took 90 minutes to unveil a new and rather limited TV app and an upgrade, albeit a significant one, to just one computer.
Apple surely needs to quicken the pace of innovation if it is to prove that Mac is still cooler than PC.

The new Touch ID fingerprint sensor is designed to be used as a way to authenticate payments as well as to quickly switch between different users' accounts.
Apple also said the new 13in and 15in MacBook Pro laptops were thinner and lighter than before, and featured bigger trackpads.
New processors will improve handling of 3D graphics and both versions of the machines now feature four Thunderbolt 3 ports - into which USB-C cables can be plugged.
But there are no longer separate power, HDMI, SD card or USB 3 ports, meaning many users will need adapters to use old peripherals.
Apple did not, however, remove the audio jack, as was the case with the iPhone 7.
The Touch Bar-enabled 13in MacBook Pro will start at $1,799 and the 15in version at $2,399.
In the UK they will be £1,749 and £2,349 including VAT - prices that reflect the weaker pound.
By comparison, Microsoft's new Surface Book laptop - which has a 13.5in detachable touchscreen - starts at $2,399, while Lenovo's Yoga 910 - which has a 13.9in detachable display - starts at $1,330.
Apple also revealed a new app for its TV set-top box, iPhone and iPad, which is simply called TV.
It brings together pre-recorded programmes and movies - available for free or purchase - from a variety of third-party services as well as Apple's own iTunes store.
It is designed to provide an easier way for users to keep track of content they are already part way through viewing as well as discovering new show via recommendations from the firm's team of curators.
The idea is to save the user having to click in and out of other apps searching for content.
But the on-stage demo made no mention of Netflix being included, and it has only been announced for launch in the US at this point.
Tim Cook also revealed that Microsoft's popular video game Minecraft would be coming to the Apple TV before the end of the year.
He added that were now 8,000 apps on the platform, which launched a year ago.
However, the firm opted not to release a new version of the hardware to support 4K resolution video, as had been rumoured, putting it at a disadvantage to rivals including Amazon Fire TV and Roku.
Apple released the last version of its top-end desktop computer way back on 19 December 2013, but opted not to update it at its latest event.
The "trash can" was targeted at video editors, 3D graphics artists, engineers and other professionals who wanted a powerful workstation.
But three years is a very long time to go without a refresh, and a lot has happened in both tech and beyond in the interim.
To give an idea of how long it's been, all the events below have occurred since the computer went on sale:
The work is a portrait of Van Dyck's close friend Olivia Porter and was painted around 1637.
The tax bill covered was for £2.8m but the full value of the painting has not been disclosed.
Owned by the same family since the 17th Century, the portrait will now go to the Bowes Museum in County Durham.
Adrian Jenkins, director of the Bowes Museum at Barnard Castle, said: "We are delighted to have the opportunity to celebrate the gift of this wonderful portrait.
"It will also of course enhance the museum's permanent collection."
Born in Antwerp, Van Dyck is thought of as one of the most important Flemish painters, in particular portraitists, of the 17th Century.
He was heavily influenced by Rubens and the Italian artists, especially Titian, and is best remembered for his elegant representations of Charles I and his court after he settled at the English court in 1632.
Olivia Porter was a lady-in-waiting at the court, who married Van Dyck's friend Endymion Porter, the king's picture agent and diplomat.
The portrait of Olivia - who became the subject of more than one of the artist's portraits - is thought to have been commissioned by her husband.
Its quality and vibrancy reflect the close friendship of the couple with the artist.
Van Dyck chose to paint Olivia in a timeless classical costume - red with golden highlights - reminiscent of Venetian painters such as Titian.
Edward Harley, chairman of the panel which advises the government on offers in lieu of tax said: "The acceptance-in-lieu scheme continues to enrich our public collections.
"I am delighted that this exceptional portrait, which is one of the great Van Dycks, has been allocated to the Bowes Museum in County Durham."
The painting will form part of a major exhibition, The English Rose - Feminine Beauty from Van Dyck to Sargent, which opens at the Bowes Museum in May 2016.
Police received a report on Tuesday of bones being found "several years ago" at the property in Stalisfield Avenue, Norris Green.
A 50-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of preventing the lawful and decent burial of a body.
Merseyside Police said work was under way "to locate these bones and to establish if they are animal or human".
The force said the investigation was at an early stage and the woman had been released on bail.
Commanders said they were within two kilometres of the centre. They said they had no choice but to go in after coming under attack.
Bani Walid and the other loyalist-held towns have been given until Saturday to surrender to the interim government.
There has also been fierce fighting near the Gaddafi-held city of Sirte.
The anti-Gaddafi forces near Bani Walid said they had made quick progress so far, but that they were not engaging in a full military assault as they still wanted to minimise casualties.
They said four people had so far been killed, including three pro-Gaddafi fighters, and a number of people had been injured.
The BBC's Richard Galpin near Bani Walid says there have been reports of hand-to-hand combat with what have been described as professional fighters on the Gaddafi side - but also reports that some had been throwing away their weapons as the anti-Gaddafi forces approached.
Abdallah Kanshil, a senior official from the interim Libyan leadership, the National Transitional Council (NTC), told Reuters: "[Anti-Gaddafi] fighters are in the north of the city fighting snipers, we have also entered from the east."
Earlier in the day, there were reports of a barrage of Grad missiles being fired from the town by pro-Gaddafi forces.
By Paul WoodBBC News, near Sirte
A stretcher carrying a moaning, semi-conscious anti-Gaddafi fighter is hurriedly loaded on to an ambulance. As the rebels get closer to Sirte the casualties are mounting. But though their deadline for the loyalists to surrender runs out on Saturday they're still a long way from the town - 45 miles on the eastern approach.
We're at the anti-Gaddafi fighters' most forward position. They've just taken a lot of incoming Grad and mortar fire. The Grads have paused for the moment... heavy anti-aircraft guns are being used to fire back.
The anti-Gaddafi forces are having to fight very hard for every mile of territory. Their threatened assault won't begin immediately on Sirte, partly because they're so far away and partly to give tribal talks more time to succeed.
The NTC says it has been trying to negotiate a peaceful resolution to stand-offs in Gaddafi-held Bani Walid, Jufra, Sabha and Sirte, but Prime Minister Mahmoud Jibril had warned NTC troops would respond if attacked.
NTC forces have also been preparing munitions near Sirte.
There was a heavy exchange of fire about 60km east of the city, in the Red Valley region which the NTC announced it had captured on Thursday.
The BBC's Paul Wood, with the anti-Gaddafi forces near Sirte, witnessed the incoming rocket and mortar fire from loyalist forces.
He says the rebels fired back with anti-aircraft guns, but they are still a long way from the city.
The anti-Gaddafi forces told him they will keep pushing forward and although Sirte may not fall according to their leaders' timetable, they are sure that it will fall.
AFP news agency said the arrival of 10 pro-Gaddafi vehicles on the frontline had sparked two hours of heavy fighting, but that the NTC troops held their position.
Meanwhile in Tripoli, tens of thousands of people on Friday took part in a march to remember those who were killed by Col Gaddafi's forces near the eastern district of Tajoura on 25 February during the early phase of the Libyan uprising.
The BBC's Peter Biles in the Libyan capital says it turned into a huge victory parade, with residents all waving the red, black and green flag of the new Libya and clogging both sides of the main road with their vehicles.
In New York, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has called on the UN Security Council to establish a new mission in Libya for an initial period of three months.
The mission would be tasked with helping Libyans organise elections, give advice on the judicial system and help develop an effective police force.
Diplomats hope to approve a resolution on the new UN mandate by the end of next week.
Separately on Friday, Ali Kana, a senior general in Col Gaddafi's forces who commanded troops in the south, was reported to have fled to Niger.
Officials in the town of Agadez said a convoy of at least three vehicles carrying a dozen people, including Gen Kana, had arrived.
Several convoys of former loyalists are said to have streamed over the border with Niger over the past few weeks.
A number of Col Gaddafi's aides - including his chief of security Mansour Daw - have reached the capital, Niamey.
Officials in Niger, which recently installed democracy after decades of authoritarianism, said they were letting in many sub-Saharan Africans from Libya on humanitarian grounds.
However, the head of President Mahamadou Issoufou's cabinet, Massaoudou Hassoumi, said on Friday it would respect its commitments to the International Criminal Court (ICC) if Col Gaddafi or his sons entered the country.
The ICC has issued a warrant for crimes against humanity against Col Gaddafi, his son Saif al-Islam and spy chief Abdullah al-Sanussi.
Interpol on Friday issued an arrest warrant for the three.
According to the electoral office, 60,433 people are not currently able to vote in the upcoming Assembly elections on 2 March.
The drop is attributed to a canvassing of households which took place in 2016 to update voter details.
Anyone who did not return their form, as required by law, was removed from the register.
Voters still have until 14 February to re-register.
"A total of 60,433 names were removed from the electoral register on 1 December 2016," a spokesperson told the BBC.
"These were the names of people who did not return an electoral registration form during the last canvass of electors in 2013.
"The Electoral Office for Northern Ireland has written several times to all of those affected by this - most recently last autumn. Anyone who did not return a form at this time was, as required by law, removed from the register.
"Anyone wishing to vote at the Northern Ireland Assembly election on 2 March must complete and return an electoral registration form by Tuesday 14 February."
The electoral office added that it will be launching a public awareness campaign in the coming days.

Juliet Luporini, chairwoman of the city's business improvement district, said businesses wanted a fixed date before committing to the city.
Network Rail said electrification would arrive between 2019 and 2024, but the exact date was "to be confirmed".
The line is being electrified to speed up journey times from London to Wales.
Swansea has two new university campuses opening and there are ambitious plans to revamp the city centre.
Mrs Luporini, who is also on the Swansea Bay City Region board, said Network Rail should be able to give "certainty" over dates and costs.
She believes the fact they have not could have a knock-on effect for business planning and inward investment into the city.
"It's really disappointing that we don't have the electrification date secure, with a costing, so that we know exactly what is happening," she added.
"We don't want a perception that business stops at Cardiff."
Electrified trains were originally due to arrive in Cardiff by 2017 but that deadline has now been put back.
Network Rail's programme manager Anthea Dolman-Gair said that it had now been "set a challenge" to complete electrification to Cardiff by 2019 and Swansea by 2024.
"We're on track to do that," she said.
Costs for work between London and Cardiff have increased from an initial £1.6bn to an estimated £2.8bn.
A review in 2015 found that original proposals were "unrealistic and undeliverable" and Network Rail has said the cost of electrifying between Cardiff and Swansea was "to be confirmed".
A Network Rail statement said: "Completion of electrification between London Paddington to Cardiff is planned to be completed within control period five (2014-2019) within the estimated total cost of £2.8bn.
"Electrification beyond Cardiff to Swansea is now planned to be completed within control period six (2019-2024) with the specific date and costs to be confirmed."
Pascal Fauret and Bruno Odos were convicted of drug smuggling by a Dominican court earlier this year and sentenced to 20 years in prison.
They had been placed under judicial supervision while they were appealing against the sentence.
They reportedly escaped by boat to the French Antilles and from there by plane to France.
Their lawyer said their arrest was "unnecessary" as the two men had placed themselves at the investigating judge's disposal.
Last week the lawyer said that the two pilots were intent on clearing their name.
They were arrested in the Dominican resort of Punta Cana in 2013 after police found 26 suitcases on their plane stuffed with 680kg (1,500lb) of cocaine.
They, and two other Frenchmen arrested with them, have always maintained their innocence.
The Dominican Republic has asked for their extradition, but legal experts said that was unlikely to happen.
Smart meters send information on energy usage directly back to the energy supplier, which eliminates the need for meter readings.
Crucially, they also let the customer know just how much electricity or gas they are consuming during the day. This revelation is expected to change our behaviour, so that we switch off lights, turn down heating, and generally use less energy.
The EU has said that all its members must provide smart meters by 2020 as long as there is a positive economic case to do so.
Germany employed accountancy firm Ernst and Young to conduct a cost-benefit analysis and they concluded it did not make economic sense, because most householders did not use enough energy to make it value for money. As a result, Germany declined to stage a mass roll-out.
Other countries have adopted smart meters with varied success. Auditors in Australia and Canada found it was too expensive.
Andrew Evans, from the auditor general's office in Victoria, Australia, said there would not be any overall benefit to consumers, and the net cost was $320m (£170m) paid by consumers through higher energy bills.
The British government has committed to getting 53 million smart meters into our homes and small businesses by the end of 2020, at an estimated cost of £11bn. That does not include Northern Ireland, which is still assessing whether smart meters would be in consumers' interests.
There are already two million meters installed in households and businesses in the rest of the UK.
Pensioner Maureen Fenlon and her husband Viv opted to have smart meters installed in their Lincolnshire bungalow a year ago. Mrs Fenlon was proud to show me the small "in-home display" which shows the cost of electricity and gas used during the day.
She said seeing the real cost of using appliances has encouraged her to use her microwave more than her oven, which has saved money on bills.
That kind of behaviour may cut our bills, it is claimed, by an average £26 a year per household up to 2020. According to government estimates, that could mean a total saving of around £6bn by then.
The Department of Energy and Climate Change says: "Smart meters will help families and businesses take control of their energy use, bringing an end to estimated bills and helping bill payers to become more energy efficient."
However, the cost of the roll-out is high, and the estimated savings rely on millions of us being willing to change our behaviour.
Meanwhile, the second stage of introduction is running late. This involves a second generation of smart meters, and a new national communications network which will allow the transmission of data between smart meters and all energy suppliers.
There has been criticism of how the entire smart meter project has been planned.
In other countries, a central administration has handled the roll-out whereas in the UK, the government left it up to the energy companies.
Some homes do not get enough wireless signal for the current generation of smart meters to work.
If someone like Mrs Fenlon switches suppliers today, the in-home display may not work with the new supplier's technology; the first-generation smart meter effectively becomes "dumb". That should change in the next couple of years when the new communications network is up and running.
The so-called big six energy suppliers are hoping to introduce a new kind of pricing to go with smart meters, a system used elsewhere in the world called time of use tariffs.
This could mean that you are charged much more at peak times, say between 16:00 and 20:00, for using electricity. The idea is that you are being nudged to use your appliances when it is cheaper.
Critics worry that this might have damaging effects on vulnerable groups of people such as the elderly and those on low incomes.
According to Stephen Thomas, Emeritus Professor of Energy Policy at the University of Greenwich, older or vulnerable people who are faced with extra high costs of using energy on a cold winter evening may choose to switch off and be cold.
The answer is that these "time of use" tariffs will be purely voluntary, according to Rosie McGlynn, director of new energy services at Energy UK. She argues people will be able to plan ahead better and save on their bills when they have a smart meter, and those currently on pre-payment meters will pay lower prices than they do now.
Smart meters are not compulsory, although the publicity campaigns do not give that fact much prominence. The energy companies are footing the bill for installing smart meters, but they acknowledge they will pass costs on to the customer. So, even if you do not want one, you are going to be paying part of the £11bn cost.

The victim was woken by an intruder in Argyle Street, Saltcoats, at 02:00 on 25 June.
He assaulted her before escaping with some of her possessions in what officers said was a "very distressing experience".
Police said they had arrested a 27-year-old man over the incident. He is expected to appear in court on Monday.
The discovery of the Epstein Barr virus - named after British doctor Anthony Epstein - resulted from his specialist knowledge of viruses which caused tumours in chickens plus his skills gained using one of the first commercially-available electron microscopes.
His hunch was assisted by a longer than expected journey of some tumour cells from Uganda, which were nearly thrown in the bin.
But it would never have happened if Epstein's curiosity hadn't been fired up by a lecture by the Irish doctor turned "bush surgeon", Denis Burkitt.
In the lecture, billed as a staff meeting on "The Commonest Children's Cancer in Tropical Africa", Burkitt described how he had noticed a number of cases of debilitating tumours which grew around the jawbone of children in specific regions - particularly those with high temperatures and high rainfall.
We now know this as Burkitt lymphoma.
Sir Anthony Epstein, now 93, speaking to the BBC's Health Check programme, recalls: "I thought there must be some biological agent involved. I was working on chicken viruses which cause cancer. I had virus-inducing tumours at the front of my head. I thought... [it] was being carried by some insect vector, or some tic. That's why it was temperature-related."
The Epstein Barr virus belongs to the family of herpes viruses - and is linked to a number of different conditions, depending on where you live.
Most people are infected with the Epstein Barr virus. It's best known in high-income countries for causing glandular fever which causes a sore throat, extreme fatigue and swollen glands in the neck.
According to Dorothy Crawford, emeritus professor of microbiology at Edinburgh University, up to 95% of all adults are infected with the virus.
"The virus is spread in childhood at different rates - in the saliva, so through close contact. In African countries most children have it by the age of two because they share cups in their household.
"The rate is lower in middle-class areas of England, so if you haven't already been exposed by your early teens it can cause glandular fever."
This has given it the nickname the kissing disease because, she explained: "People kissing in the back row of the cinema exchange more saliva than young children sharing toys."
Epstein asked for samples of the tumours from Burkitt and they were sent back on overnight flights from Uganda.
For almost three years Epstein's efforts to retrieve virus from the tumour cells failed, despite trying several culture methods used successfully for other viruses like influenza and measles.
In the end bad weather came to the rescue.
Fog delayed one flight which was diverted to Manchester, 200 miles from London. So the sample taken from the upper jaw of a nine-year-old girl with Burkitt lymphoma didn't get to Epstein until late one Friday afternoon on 5 December 1963.
At that point it looked past its sell-by date.
"The fluid was cloudy. This suggested it had been contaminated on the way," Epstein said.
"Was it full of multiplying bacteria? Before we threw it away I looked at it under a wet preparation microscope and saw huge numbers of free-floating, healthy looking tumour cells which had been shed from the edge of the tumour."
Traditionally, growing cells successfully in culture had involved sticking them to a glass surface for support, but the lymphoma cells seemed to favour growing in a suspension.
Once all other conventional tests for identifying the virus from the cultured cells had failed, Epstein tried electron microscopy. The very first grid square he viewed included a cell filled with herpes virus.
Exhilarated by what he'd seen, Epstein went for a walk in the winter snow and came back feeling calmer.
"I was extremely frightened in case the electron beam [of the microscope] burned up the sample. I recognised at once the herpes virus - there were five then, now nine. Any of the then-known ones would have wiped the culture out when they were replicating but this wasn't happening. I had the feeling that this was something special."
Our understanding of this pervasive virus, named after Epstein and one of his PhD students Yvonne Barr who helped to prepare the samples, has increased over the years since Epstein confirmed his findings with American virologist colleagues.
Burkitt's data helped to identify that the tumour named after him was seen in children with chronic malaria, which reduced their resistance to the Epstein Barr virus, allowing it to thrive.
But most of us live quite happily with the virus.
"If you disturb the host-virus balance in any way then changes take place which lead to very unpleasant consequences," says Epstein.
"Once the link between Epstein Barr virus and Burkitt lymphoma was established, other seemingly unrelated conditions followed. These include a cancer at the back of the nose which is the commonest cancer seen in men in southern China and the second commonest in women in the same region.
There is also a link to Hodgkins lymphoma, a cancer of the white blood cells.
"Each one came out of the blue," according to Epstein, "and we've just heard about another. About 20% of Japanese cancers of the stomach are associated with the virus."
Yet another connection was made by Professor Dorothy Crawford, while waiting for the lift at the Royal Free hospital in London.
"It's such a tall building everyone meets outside the lifts. I was standing next to a renal [kidney] transplant surgeon and overheard him say they'd just had their first case of post-transplant lymphoma. So I went with him to the pathology department and asked for some sections of the tissue to look at under the microscope."
Burkitt lymphoma can now often be treated successfully with chemotherapy.
At a recent meeting in Oxford of the Epstein Barr Virus Association future directions for research were explored.
Attention is now focusing on a vaccine for the Epstein Barr virus - and some efficacy has already been demonstrated.
Epstein hopes that a vaccine will lead to the kind of success seen in other cancers caused by viruses - such as Hepatitis B and the human papillomavirus, which cause liver and cervical cancer respectively.
Koeman told Belgian newspaper HLN that Lukaku, 23, has potential "greater and higher" than his current club.
George McKane, a founding member of the Everton Supporters' Trust, said Koeman is acting in Everton's best interests.
"It makes a pleasant change for someone to tell the truth," he told BBC Sport.
"What he's saying is what a lot of Evertonians are thinking."
McKane said Dutchman Koeman's comments on Lukaku, who reportedly handed in a transfer request this summer, could be aimed at raising the Belgium international's price.
Lukaku joined Everton for a club record £28m in July 2014, having scored 16 goals in all competitions during a season on loan from Chelsea.
He scored 20 goals in 2014-15 and 25 last season, and has seven of Everton's 15 Premier League goals this season. He is under contract until 2019.
Dave Kelly, chairman of supporters' group Blue Union, said Lukaku is not yet at the level of a Champions League striker, but that more Everton players should be trying to attract the interest of Europe's top sides.
"He should have ambition. Why should Romelu Lukaku have any responsibility to stay at Everton? He's not an Evertonian," Kelly said.
"I would love him to stay, but every player has his price. It's unfortunate that more of our players are not getting looked at by the European leagues.
"There needs to be a statement of intent from our owner, that if clubs want to buy our players it will be on our terms and for top dollar."
The figure was worked out by weighing the land from space.
The American West Coast has been hit by big storms in recent days, but this rainfall is only expected to make a small dent in California's problems.
Researchers described their research at the American Geophysical Union's Fall Meeting in San Francisco.
The US space agency (Nasa) used its Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (Grace) satellites in orbit to help make the calculations.
These spacecraft measure the very subtle variations in Earth's gravity as they fly around the globe.
This shifting tug results from changes in mass, and this is influenced by the rise and fall in the volume of water held in the land.
Figures quoted by Nasa on Tuesday are for California's Sacramento and San Joaquin river basins - the state's "water workhorses".
Grace data indicates total water storage in these basins - that is all snow, surface water, soil moisture and ground water combined - has plummeted by roughly 15 cubic km a year.
This number is not far short of all the water that runs through the great Colorado River (nearly 20 cubic km), which is one of the primary sources for import into the state.
Jay Famiglietti from Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California said: "We've shown that it's now possible to explicitly quantify previously elusive drought indictors like the beginning of the drought or the end of the drought, and importantly the severity of the drought in any point in time.
Can science find new ways to provide fresh water for a growing population?
"That is, we can now begin to answer the question: how much water will it take to end the drought?
"We show for the current drought this quantity peaked in 2014 at 42 cubic km of water. That's 11 trillion gallons, or about one-and-a-half times the volume of Lake Mead.
"So, no - the recent rains have not put an end to the current drought at all, but they are certainly welcome."
Rather worryingly, a lot of the deficit - two-thirds - is accounted for by reductions in ground water, which constitutes an unsustainable level of extraction.
"Ground water is a strategic reserve in times of drought and we need to be very careful how we manage it," Dr Famiglietti told BBC News.
New aeroplane surveys of the snow fields in the mountains that supply California with much of its water tell a similar story.
The Airborne Snow Observatory, as it is known, shows the size of these fields has probably been overstated by 100%.
In other words, the state probably has even less water in reserve than it thought.
"The 2014 California snowpack was the worst on recorded. It [battled] it out with 1977 through the year, but finally won out. But in 1977, we had half the population that we have today," commented Airborne Snow Observatory Principal Investigator Tom Painter of JPL.
"Besides resulting in less snow water, the dramatic reduction in snow extent contributes to warming our climate by allowing the ground to absorb more sunlight. This reduces soil moisture, which makes it harder to get water from the snow into reservoirs once it does start snowing again."
None of this will cheer the state's 38 million residents, many of whom have been flooded out this week by big Pacific storms.
The National Weather Service says much more rain will be needed to end the drought.

Neymar, 25, joined the French club for 222m euros (£200m).
Bartomeu says the money will be spent with "prudence, rigour and serenity".
Liverpool's Philippe Coutinho, Borussia Dortmund's Ousmane Dembele and PSG's Julian Draxler have been linked with moves to the Nou Camp.
Neymar's departure from Barcelona breaks up the feted attacking trident he formed with Argentina captain Lionel Messi and Uruguay forward Luis Suarez.
He scored 105 goals in four seasons at Barca, winning seven major trophies including the Champions League once and La Liga twice.
The player said he moved to France for a "bigger challenge", and denied it was motivated by money.
Speaking at the World Congress of Penyes, Bartomeu said: "He wanted to leave. We didn't agree with that decision but no player is bigger than Barca."
It will be the first BBC facility in the UK to use the Internet Protocol (IP) technology across both its production and broadcast operations.
It moves away from more-conventional plug-in digital technology.
IP will allow different devices dotted around the BBC's new Central Square building to recognise and "talk" to each other.
It will bring the latest internet technology into different aspects of broadcasting - from controlling cameras, TV editing to output.
IP will also help in producing programmes and items from remote locations.
The new approach to carrying data and signals is aimed at giving the broadcaster greater flexibility - especially as technology further develops, whether in higher bandwidth or better-quality video resolution.
The BBC will work with Canadian company Grass Valley and the US technology giant Cisco on the development.
Unlike the system currently used by most UK broadcasters, IP allows data and signals to flow in every direction.
It could mean, for example, an IP-enabled microphone can be controlled by any sound desk anywhere in the building, while any TV gallery could control any IP-enabled camera.
The technology is also geared towards a better interactive experience for viewers, including the potential for added content.
Gareth Powell, BBC Wales' chief operating officer, said: "This will give us a level of creative freedom about how we produce our content that we've never had before.
"We want to harness the benefits of IP technology to provide the best-possible tools to our content-makers and to free them from many of the historic constraints we've faced at our current HQ in Llandaff."
Prof Andrew Blyth, an expert in forensic computing and cyber security at the University of South Wales, said the BBC would have to take the appropriate cyber security measures to combat risks, but IP was the future for the BBC and other broadcasters.
"Indeed if the BBC didn't move into this area it might be accused of dragging its feet and being a dinosaur," he said.
"You only have to look at the likes of Netflix and the way the world has already changed. As a viewer, we watch on demand, when we want to, gone are the days when we all sit down and watch EastEnders at 7.30pm.
"This is the future of broadcasting, of TV - and it's already here."
Work started at the end of 2015 and the new building is expected to be fully open in 2019, with 1,200 staff moving to the city centre.
More than 60 firefighters have been tackling the blaze in Hickman Avenue, near East Park, since about 14:30 BST.
A man was taken to hospital for a minor burn after trying to put the fire out, West Midlands Fire Service said.
A working men's club and nearby buildings were evacuated until fire crews moved the cylinders to safety.
Three car repair units and two tyre storage units have been affected by the severe fire which is now under control, the spokesman said.
Fire crews said they managed to save two coaches inside one of the buildings and part of a gym, but the roof of the tyre unit was destroyed.
It is thought the fire started inside one of the repair garages, the spokesman said.
Twelve fire engines were sent to the scene as police closed nearby roads and dealt with subsequent traffic problems.
Nearby residents were urged to keep their windows shut due to the large quantities of smoke.
Vicious has been created by Will and Grace writer Gary Janetti and award-winning playwright Mark Ravenhill.
The show, to air next year, will also feature Rising Damp actress Frances De La Tour as their feisty best friend.
Sir Ian will play ageing actor Freddie who has lived in a cramped flat with Sir Derek's Stuart for nearly 50 years.
Their worlds are turned upside down when a young man called Ash moves in upstairs.
Writer and co-producer Janetti, who has also worked on award-winning US comedy Family Guy, said he was "incredibly excited" to be working with "this unbelievable cast".
ITV's comedy commissioning editor, Myfanwy Moore, said the broadcaster was "thrilled this exciting and bold sitcom, with stellar performers and writing talent is to join the increasing slate of new look comedy shows on the channel".
Next month Sir Ian will be seen reprising the role of wizard Gandalf in Lord of the Rings prequel The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.
The film, which co-stars Martin Freeman, Elijah Wood and Benedict Cumberbatch, is due in UK cinemas on 14 December.
Ridden by Tom O'Brien, Finian's Oscar was making his grade one bow, having won on his hurdling debut at Hereford.
Chalonnial led for much of the contest, but the 11-10 favourite powered home to win by five lengths from Capitaine.
Tizzard also trains Thistlecrack, who won the King George VI Chase, and Native River, winner of the Welsh National in December.
Gubbins was dropped on 22 but reached his ton off 191 balls on day one at Lord's after the hosts slumped to 97-4.
Pace bowler Jack Brooks (3-45) continued his fine form for Yorkshire, trapping Sam Robson and Nick Compton lbw before bowling Stevie Eskinazi.
Middlesex collected their first bonus point before bad light ended play at 208-5, with Gubbins still there on 120.
Victory over the White Rose county will hand Middlesex the title for the first time since 1993.
But third-placed Somerset are now just eight points behind after reaching 322-9 against relegated Nottinghamshire at Taunton and picking up three batting bonus points.
Under overcast skies in London, Yorkshire chose not to contest the toss and gave their four pace bowlers a chance to make early inroads.
Brooks claimed two quick scalps as Robson departed for a duck and Compton left a straight ball that jagged back in before David Willey bowled Dawid Malan via an inside edge to reduce the hosts to 57-3.
Despite the testing conditions, 22-year-old Gubbins remained assured at the crease - despite being put down at point by Azeem Rafiq, who has signed a contract extension for next summer - and was particularly strong on the off side as he rebuilt Middlesex's innings.
He shared half-century stands with John Simpson and James Franklin and having grafted to reach 96, Gubbins opened his shoulders to pull Ryan Sidebottom over the square leg boundary for six to reach three figures.
Shortly after Yorkshire took the new ball, the teams were taken off as the light deteriorated with 14 overs lost.
Middlesex batsman Nick Gubbins said:
"I'll remember this knock for a long time but there's still plenty of work to do in the morning.
"I don't know what's going on at Taunton. Somerset have had a good day, it will be an interesting finish from what I hear.
"We can only focus on what we do, whatever happens, happens - it's going to be a fun week of county cricket.
"It's been pretty steady, let's see how day three and four goes. We can't look too far ahead, Yorkshire need to win as well."
Yorkshire coach Jason Gillespie said:
"I thought we bowled really well all day. It would be nice to take the chances when they come though.
"The disciplines were excellent - you just have to look at the run rate. We'll bowl worse than that and be rewarded better.
"At the end of the day you've got to take the chances when they come - three they should have taken.
"The lads work really hard at their fielding, but it's not ideal to shell them on a day like today.
"We can't worry about what happens at Somerset too much - we've got to concentrate on what we're doing here. We've got a new ball tomorrow, and it will do a little bit off the surface early.
"We feel we can create a few chances - but we've got to take them."
"French Londoners, France loves you," he told a rally, urging them to come home because their country needed their drive and expertise.
He cited the frequently aired claim that London was France's sixth-largest city, with an estimated 200,000 French residents. In fact it would rank about 30th.
But what drew Mr Macron to the UK was perhaps not so much the number as the type of French people living in its capital. Many are young, educated, upwardly and geographically mobile - exactly the constituency he has galvanised at home.
Opinion polls suggest he has a chance of reaching the second-round presidential run-off in May and could even win the presidency.
Queuing to hear him speak in Westminster on Tuesday was Elise Siouve, 25, a biotechnology postgraduate at Cambridge University, who felt Mr Macron "understands the need to adapt to social and economic changes".
Another Cambridge student, Benjamin Vendrand-Maillet, 24, has set up a unit of Macron supporters at the university. For him, the centrist's market-friendly policies would work "for all French people, whether rich or poor, young or old" and he was best placed to defeat the populist Front National.
The main challenge for French candidates campaigning abroad is that turnout is low among expats. In the UK, it is typically about 30%. Why bother to vote when you have decided to make another country your home?
But Mr Macron could benefit from the UK's vote to leave the EU, which he deeply regrets. French residents who may suddenly be unsure of their long-term status in the UK could find renewed interest in politics back home.
This is the case for Sylvie, a Macron fan who is studying for a doctorate in Oxford.
"I lost interest in France for four years because I found what was going on there dispiriting," she says. "Since Brexit I've realised that I might have to go back to France, so I'm much more involved now."
Restating the message he had delivered to UK Prime Minister Theresa May earlier in the day, Mr Macron promised the crowd of about 2,000 that he would attract talent back to France by freeing up the economy and encouraging risk-taking and enterprise.
He said he had been shocked when a French person he met on the Eurostar train to London had told him that he had gone to Britain to establish his start-up business because he had found it impossible to do so at home.
"What is at stake in this campaign," he said to loud applause, "is making sure that women and men who are willing to create jobs and wealth, who want to change their own lives and that of others, can never say 'I tried to do it in France but it's better to do it a two-hour Eurostar ride away'. I don't want to hear that ever again."
Mr Macron is hoping to buck an international trend towards anti-globalisation populism in a country where market reforms have never been popular.
The five-horse race for the French presidency remains wide open.
In recent weeks polls have consistently placed far-right leader Marine Le Pen ahead in the first round on 23 April. But they have also suggested she would lose the run-off two weeks later.
That suggests the top prize in this election could go to the initial runner-up.
Mr Macron surged ahead of his rivals in January but his support has wobbled over the past week, following an outcry over his comment that the colonisation of Algeria had been a "crime against humanity".
Mainstream conservative Francois Fillon appears to be staging a comeback after damaging allegations over payments to his wife. Two left-wing candidates are not far behind.
But what is clear is that the winning candidate will be the one most able to mobilise his constituency - hence the potential importance of the expat vote in this race.
"It is too close to call," says Benedicte Paviot, London correspondent for France 24 television. "French presidential candidates can't afford to ignore French nationals abroad."
Roberto Natto and Erika Reiser, both in their 60s, had been kidnapped and shot several miles from their ranch.
Government officials say they were killed by a left-wing guerrilla group, the Paraguayan People's Army.
Their bodies are due to be repatriated to Germany as an investigation into the killings continues.
The couple had been held along with four ranch workers on their farm outside Yby Yau, around 395km (245 miles) from Paraguay's capital, Asuncion.
The workers had escaped but both Germans were killed.
A government investigator said police had found the bodies after a shoot-out with fighters they allege belonged to the guerrilla group.
The investigators said the guerrillas had been demanding money and food from local ranchers to be given to the poor as compensation for alleged deforestation.
The Paraguayan People's Army (EPP) is estimated to number between 50 and 150 people.
It has been blamed for a series of killings in the last few years.
In May 2013 it was accused of killing Luis Lindstron, a former city mayor and owner of a logging operation.
Various political leaders have tried to eliminate the EPP.
In 2010, Fernando Lugo, who was president at the time, declared a state of emergency and sent 200 crack troops to find the rebels.
In 2011 the government tried again, this time sending about 3,000 troops and police.
Some arrests were made, but the group remained elusive.
Correspondents say the EPP appears to be changing its strategy, focussing less on kidnappings and more on attacking ranches and trying to extract payments from landowners.
Although little is known about them, the EPP appears to oppose industrialized agriculture, feeding off resentment in rural areas over the growth of large soybean farms, many of which are Brazilian-owned.
They also draw on, and sometimes coerce, support from poor farmers in areas where the public services are minimal.
Before his death from colon cancer at 69 in July, Ken Stabler requested his brain be donated to research into chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).
The New York Times reports Stabler was found to have a "quite severe" case.
Stabler was the NFL's Most Valuable Player in 1974 and led the Oakland Raiders to the Super Bowl in 1977.
He threw for 194 career touchdowns and 27,938 yards over 15 seasons and was a four-time Pro Bowl selection.
Some 5,000 former players have sued the NFL, claiming it hid the dangers of repeated head trauma.
CTE is associated with symptoms such as memory loss, depression and progressive dementia.
The disease, which can only be diagnosed after death, has been found in the brains of dozens of former American football players.
The former players suing the NFL agreed to a settlement which is under appeal, but could cost the league $1bn (£685m),

State officials announced on Friday they would be telling nearly 100 water rights holders to stop pumping from three separate waterways.
This is the first time in decades that officials have forced thousands of farmers to draw back water use.
These farmers' rights to water were decided more than 100 years ago.
Water rights holders in the Sacramento, San Joaquin and delta watersheds will have to stop getting water from those streams.
California has ordered water use cuts for other farmers in other cities across the state.
The move has been expected for weeks, the Los Angeles Times reports.

The suit alleges that some employees were fired from one franchise because there were "too many black people".
It is being backed by a group campaigning for better wages for fast-food workers and the local Virginia National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
McDonald's has not yet commented specifically on the suit.
McDonalds issued a general statement, saying: "McDonald's has a long-standing history of embracing the diversity of employees, independent franchisees, customers and suppliers, and discrimination is completely inconsistent with our values.
"McDonald's and our independent owner-operators share a commitment to the well-being and fair treatment of all people who work in McDonald's restaurants."
The suit is part of a continuing effort on the part of labour organisers to hold McDonald's responsible for the behaviour of its franchisees.
McDonald's and other restaurant groups have argued that it should not be held responsible for the behaviour and labour practices of franchisees.
However, their position has been weakened by the US National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).
It ruled that McDonalds "could be held jointly liable for labour and wage violations by its franchise operators" in July.
Since then, current and former employees have filed lawsuits against many McDonald's franchises and the larger corporation alleging wage theft and other illegal practices.
In the lawsuit filed in Virginia on Thursday, which is not part of the NLRB's larger activity, 10 former employees - nine of whom are African-American and one of whom is Hispanic - allege that they were subject to "rampant racial and sexual harassment" by supervisors at three restaurants run by McDonald's franchisee Michael Simon.
Mr Simon became franchise operator of the three restaurants in late 2013, when the majority of the employees at the restaurants were African-American.
Soon after, the suit alleges Mr Simon instituted a plan to hire more white employees, with supervisors allegedly telling employees that the restaurants were "too dark" and they needed to hire new employees to "get the ghetto out of the store".
Subsequently, in mid-2014, a large number of white employees were hired and several of the African-American employees who are part of the suit were fired.
The fired workers alleged that when they attempted to contact McDonald's corporate office, there was no response.
McDonald's is due to report its fourth-quarter earnings before US markets open on Friday.
Doctors are cautiously optimistic about her condition, but are reluctant to speculate on her recovery.
The swift response of people on the scene - emergency workers and medical staff - has been credited with saving her life in the first instance.
Daniel Hernandez, an intern on her staff, is being called a hero after he rushed to her aid - and closer to the gunman - moments after the shooting.
He applied pressure to the entry wound to staunch the bleeding, pulling her on to his lap so she would not choke on her own blood.
Paramedics then took her to a nearby hospital where trauma surgeon Peter Rhee, a former military doctor who served in Afghanistan, and his team worked with impressive efficiency.
Ms Giffords was in the operating theatre about 38 minutes after she was shot.
The bullet entered at the back of her skull and exited at the front, travelling through the left side of her brain - which controls speech among other things.
Dr Rhee told reporters that Ms Giffords was fortunate that the bullet had stayed on one side and had not hit areas of the brain that are almost always fatal. Surgeons also did not have to remove much dead brain tissue, another positive sign.
Bone fragments can often travel through the brain with the bullet, causing additional bleeding and damage.
Dr Richard Besser, ABC News' medical editor, said: "She has already beat a lot of odds. Two-thirds of people who are shot in the head never make it to the hospital."
One major concern for Ms Giffords' medical team now is the possibility that her brain will swell.
Neurosurgeon Dr Michael Lemole has removed half of her skull to give the tissue room. The bone is being preserved at a cold temperature and can be reattached when the swelling subsides.
That technique has been used commonly in military injuries, according to Dr Rhee.
Swelling can take several days to peak, and may take more than a week to go down.
Ms Giffords is currently heavily sedated in a coma-like state that helps rest her brain. That requires the assistance of a ventilator, which means she cannot talk.
Doctors have woken her periodically and say she is responding to simple commands like squeezing somebody's hand.
But her medical team is deeply hesitant to speculate on her long-term condition. Dr Lemole said her recovery could take months or even years.
Brain injuries are unpredictable, in part because each individual's neural pathways operate differently.
"The same injury in me and you could have different effects," University of Maryland neurologist Dr Bizhan Aarabi told the Associated Press news agency.
All parties were invited to join, but Labour declined. The cabinet includes four Plaid members, five Tories and an independent.
Council leader Gareth Jones, a former Plaid AM, said he would lead an "ongoing, open administration based on inclusivity and transparency".
Plaid's Leanne Wood said the party was yet to approve of the administration.
"The new cabinet will not be driven by any political agenda," Mr Jones said.
He added: "These proposed arrangements need to be supported by Plaid Cymru locally and I await approval from Plaid Cymru nationally.
"I have referred this statement and proposals to Plaid Cymru's National Executive Council and I await their decision.
"In the meantime I am making these appointments to cabinet now so that the important business of the council can continue without delay."
Plaid leader Leanne Wood said her party notes the "proposal by Cllr Gareth Jones to form an administration with independent and Conservative councillors on Conwy Council".
But she added: "All proposed council administrations must be considered and either approved or rejected by the party democratically, to ensure that they are in the best interests of the governance of Wales and our communities.
"We reiterate that no decision has yet been taken on this administration. A meeting of the National Executive Council will take place soon to make a ruling on the proposal.
"No administrations are recognised as official by Plaid Cymru until they are ratified."
Mr Bercow was almost overcome by emotion as he announced the result of the vote - 228 to 202.
He had earlier told MPs: "I'm not going anywhere."
William Hague wanted a secret ballot to decide the Speaker's future after the election but Labour and some Tory MPs said it was a "grubby" plot.
They accused the Commons leader of springing the motion on MPs in the final hours of the current Parliament, before it breaks up for the general election.
Among the No votes were 23 Conservative MPs and 10 Liberal Democrats.
In extraordinary scenes, MPs hurled abuse at Mr Hague for allegedly conspiring with Prime Minister David Cameron to oust Mr Bercow, who is unpopular with much of the Tory leadership.
Moving the motion, Mr Hague, who is standing down as an MP, said there was a long tradition of secret ballots in Britain to decide powerful positions.
He said: "I think a secret ballot frees members of this House completely from pressure from their parties or from the chair.
"I think that is the right thing in principle to do."
In a tearful speech, Tory MP Charles Walker, chairman of the Commons procedure committee, claimed he had been "played for a fool" by ministers over the issue.
Mr Walker said he had attended Mr Hague's leaving drinks this week, spending 20 minutes saying goodbye to his special adviser and speaking to Deputy Commons Leader Tom Brake and Chief Whip Michael Gove, "all of whom would have been aware of what was going on".
He said: "I have been played as a fool and when I go home tonight I will look in the mirror and see an honourable fool looking back at me and I would much rather be an honourable fool in this and any other matter than a clever man."
Labour MPs got to their feet and gave the Tory MP a round of applause - something that is not supposed to happen under Commons rules.
Former Tory minister Greg Barker sparked uproar when he questioned Mr Bercow's suitability to chair the debate.
Mr Bercow replied: "It is commonplace for the Speaker to be in the Speaker's chair. I'm genuinely sorry if that disquiets you."
Asked earlier by a Labour MP if he would chair the debate Mr Bercow had said, to cheers: "I am in the Chair, and I am intending to remain in the Chair, today and, I hope, subsequent to today."
He assured MPs he would chair the debate with "competence and fairness," before adding with a smile: "I am not going anywhere."
Veteran Labour MP Sir Gerald Kaufman accused William Hague of a "grubby, squalid and nauseous" attempt to change the rules on Speaker elections.
"Sad, sad, sad Mr Hague, change your mind," he shouted at the Commons leader.
A smiling Mr Hague said he had received worse "personal abuse" in his time in the Commons and the Labour MP's words would be "water off the back of this particular duck". Mr Hague said he made no apology for allowing a debate on the Speaker election rules, which the public wanted.
Labour's shadow commons leader Angela Eagle said Mr Hague should be "ashamed of himself" for "going along" with what she claimed was a plot by David Cameron to get rid of Mr Bercow.
"It is a petty and spiteful act because he hates his government being properly scrutinised thanks to this reforming Speaker," she told MPs.
In a statement, she added: "This is a humiliating defeat for David Cameron on the last day of this Parliament. Instead of talking about ways to improve the lives of working people, in the last week all the prime minister has done is play petty partisan games and arrogantly talk about his retirement plans. In today's vote decency and democracy prevailed."
Under current rules, if a Speaker's re-appointment is objected to, a vote is held, with MPs filing through the division lobbies outside the chamber to cast their vote.
This means it is clear who does or does not support the incumbent.
Mr Bercow's supporters claimed the government's attempt to move to a secret ballot was motivated by a desire to make it easier to remove him from the Speaker's chair.
At the very end of the day's proceedings at Westminster, Mr Hague and Mr Bercow exchanged words as they shook hands after the traditional prorogation ceremony to close Parliament.

Alex Quillo gave the Gibraltese side an early lead from Kike Gómez's cross.
Scott Quigley equalised a minute before the break, taking a through ball and turning his defender before lashing a brilliant shot over Javi Munoz.
But Europa snatched a vital lead when Gómez curled home a beauty after Liam Walker broke down the right.
Saints have reached the second qualifying round in each of the last five seasons, but interim manager Scott Ruscoe will need his side to produce a better performance in the second leg.
"I'm disappointed because that's not a true reflection of how TNS play and how we've done in Europe over the last few years," Ruscoe told BBC Wales Sport.
"I've talked about how we've gradually improved over the years and maybe you could say we froze, just didn't play our normal game.
"The Champions League is what we strive to play in year after year, it's what supports the club for the following year in terms of wages and things like that.
"So I've told the lads it hurts me, I hope it hurts them because they've not shown a true reflection."
After the defeat at Park Hall in Oswestry, the Welsh champions travel to Faro, Portugal, on Tuesday, 4 July for the return leg against Europa.
"We'll work on the things that we didn't do well tonight, we'll put them right over the next few days and we'll make sure we give it a good go next Tuesday," Ruscoe added.
"The players have another 20 or 30 per cent there, they've fallen below their peak but they can go and do it next week."

The colourful County Kerry politician, Michael Healy-Rae, told the Irish parliament that "nothing short of the army" would solve the problem.
Regional Economic Development Minister Michael Ring agreed that the management of the "aggressive rhododendron is a long-standing, ongoing programme" in the park.
But he rejected the suggestion that the government had neglected the public facility or its flowery foreign foes.
The ingredients are there for something similar to happen at this week's Masters but the challenge is formidable with so many big names demonstrating top form so far this year.
In 2011, McIlroy won the US Open by eight strokes in his first major since blowing that season's Masters.
A year later, he suffered a string of missed cuts before winning his second major at the US PGA Championship.
And in 2014 he had slipped out of the world's top 10 before embarking on a run that brought him the BMW PGA title at Wentworth and a high summer stretch that yielded the Open, Bridgestone Invitational and PGA crowns in consecutive weeks.
Now he heads into the Masters having suffered an injury-blighted start to 2017 while Dustin Johnson has surged to the top of the world rankings.

No longer is McIlroy unanimously regarded as golf's biggest talent. Johnson shows no weakness; he is powerful, long and straight and supplements those qualities with unerring deftness on and around the greens.
Having lifted his first major title at last year's US Open, the tall American appears unflappable and is playing with a maturity that many thought was beyond him.
In short, he looks the perfect golfer and having won his last three tournaments, the strongest events of the year to date, Johnson is the undisputed favourite for victory here at Augusta.
But this is the sort of scenario that inspires the best in McIlroy, especially as he seeks the title he craves more than any other. A Masters Green Jacket would complete his set of major prizes.
He says he would not be able to feel proper fulfilment if he never wins one. It is a lot of self-imposed pressure and explains ruinous nine-hole spells that have peppered and scarred so many of his Augusta attempts.
And McIlroy accepts that each year that passes without landing the Masters makes the next attempt more difficult. He is only 27 but there is a raging impatience.

Many observers have long held the belief that he is destined to win multiple Green Jackets. But the same was said of the likes of Ernie Els and Greg Norman, and both are still waiting.
Norman was fourth on his debut in 1981, runner-up three times and third on three occasions.
Listening to him speaking to BBC World Television recently, it was clear that he likes the Northern Irishman's chances of becoming only the sixth player to complete the career grand slam.
"I'm a bit of a McIlroy fan. I like his moxie on the golf course - I like his style," said the 62-year-old Australian.
And Norman is not concerned that McIlroy's season to date has been heavily disrupted by the fractured rib he suffered at the start of the year.
After finishing second at the South African Open he did not return to action until coming seventh at last month's WGC Mexico Championship. Norman believes that was a tellingly impressive comeback because it was at altitude which makes distance control difficult.
I do see one little glaring fault that happens under pressure with him
"To step away from the game as long as he did, to step back into the game and compete the way he did tells me he's got really good control of his golf swing," Norman said.
McIlroy followed up with a fourth place at the Arnold Palmer Invitational before playing only two matches of the group stages of the WGC Matchplay, a tournament that yielded Johnson's third straight win of the year.
And while Norman agrees the big hitter from South Carolina is the front-runner at the 2017 Masters, he also suggests Johnson might prove vulnerable on Augusta's slick greens.
"I do see one little glaring fault that happens under pressure with him," Norman said. "His putting stroke is excellent but at times it does have a tendency of breaking down just a little bit."
The two-time Open winner refused to go into detail but revealed that he tries to help Johnson through the world number one's friendship with his son Gregory.
"What pains me is when I see something on TV and I go, 'Oh my gosh, it's so glaringly obvious why he's missing those short putts'," Norman revealed.
"So I'll text my son and I'll say 'next time you talk to DJ, just tell him to do this and give him that one piece of information'. If he does it, he does it - I don't know."
But there is no doubting Norman's admiration for the overall Johnson package. "I'm really, really impressed with him," he said.
"A combination of power, finesse, calmness beyond calm. Nothing seems to faze him.
"He has been consistent for over a decade now, he's won a golf tournament every year for over a decade."
To date, though, none of those have included the Masters where he has been sixth and fourth in the past two years.
Johnson's preferred ball flight is a left-to-right fade whereas the popular belief is that players are better shaping it in the opposite direction at Augusta. "Because he can power the ball, he can play the Masters left to right rather than right to left," Norman said.
"Jack Nicklaus used to play left to right and he'd got more Green Jackets than anyone else."
Six-time winner Nicklaus is the ultimate Masters golfer but Jordan Spieth may, one day, prove a rival for that tag. The 2015 champion has played the event three times and has yet to finish outside the top two.
Still only 23, he has banked $3.472m (£2.79m) from the Masters alone, although you would guess he would have traded most of that for a "mulligan" on the 12th tee last year.
Dumping two balls into Rae's Creek on the shortest hole on the course led to a quadruple-bogey seven that put paid to what had been a five-stroke advantage on the front nine of his final round.
Britain's Danny Willett then seized the moment to claim his first major title.
More golf from the BBC:
Spieth returned to Augusta last December, played the hole twice and birdied it on each occasion - the second time from tap-in range. But the ghosts will take longer to be exorcised.
"It's not as if it's going to be the last year he gets questions about it," McIlroy said.
"I still get questioned about the back nine at Augusta in 2011," added McIlroy who came home in 43 in a round of 80 that ruined his four-stroke 54-hole lead.
He is a far more experienced figure these days and spearheads a formidable UK contingent that includes 11 Englishmen, Scotland's Russell Knox and veteran former champions Sandy Lyle and Ian Woosnam.
Victory brings a return ticket for life.
Few, if any, crave it more than McIlroy and in a year when, so far, his leading contemporaries Johnson, Spieth, Justin Thomas, Rickie Fowler and Hideki Matsuyama have made all the noise, this might be the moment when the story becomes Rory.
The world number 21 was beaten 11-9, 11-6, 11-7 by Hong Kong's Max Lee in 48 minutes in the tournament in Cairo.

He had beaten Botswana's Alister Walker 11-2, 13-11, 11-9 in the first round on Thursday - his first win at the event since he made the third round in 2012.
The ICO says nearly half of all app users have decided not to download an app because of concerns over privacy.
It wants developers to be clear about what data is being accessed and why.
More than 320 million apps were downloaded on the busiest day of last year, Christmas Day, and that number is expected to increase this year.
"The app industry is one of the fastest growing in the UK, but our survey shows almost half of people have rejected an app due to privacy concerns," said Simon Rice, principal policy adviser for technology at the ICO.
"It is important that developers tackle this issue by making sure their apps look after personal information correctly."
The guidance from the ICO reminds developers that they must comply with the Data Protection Act and that users must be properly informed about what will happen to their personal data if they install and use an app.
The ICO suggests that users should be given effective control over their privacy settings. Also the layout of a privacy policy could be better tailored to suit mobile devices with users shown brief but important information first, with the option to click through to another screen for more detail.
Adam Joinson, a professor at the University of the West of England who has researched the link between privacy and new technology, said apps that had a privacy policy that was too generic risked alienating users.
"By asking for too much information they're putting people off using the app. If developers were more canny they'd have fewer issues," he said.
"Users could say, 'I'm happy for an app to have access to my photos but not my address book,' for example."
App designers could be losing out financially because of unsuitable privacy policies which put people off using their products, said Mr Rice.
Simon Lee, chief executive of app development firm Locassa, said the company tailored its data privacy depending on what the app did.
"When we look at how the data is used, we must look at it from a user perspective and ask ourselves, 'Would I be happy with this?' If the answer isn't a resounding 'yes' then there's a strong indication we shouldn't be doing it," he said.
"The bottom line is that users trust us when they install our apps on their devices. We must be careful not to abuse that trust."
Noble halted his gig at Plymouth's Theatre Royal on Saturday when he saw that 18-year-old Oliver Jackson was in trouble.
The comic pointed to Mr Jackson and a member of the audience performed the Heimlich manoeuvre to get rid of the sweet.
Mr Jackson said he had since "given up jelly beans".

"They don't seem to agree with me," he said.
Horticultural apprentice Mr Jackson, from Plymouth, had been enjoying the sweets without mishap when one lodged in his throat.
"I tried acting calm, I did not want to start coughing," said Mr Jackson, who was sitting four rows from the front.
"My mate started patting me on the back and then Ross saw the commotion and stopped the show. The next thing, everyone was rushing in with first aid; it was surreal."
The teenager added: "Ross pointed me out and within seconds [the sweet] was gone.
"I'm just glad he could see that it was serious - and he made a few jokes about it later which lightened the mood."
Noble was not immediately available for comment.
The last of Scotland's 32 councils, South Ayrshire, decided what to do on Thursday morning. Bills there will rise by 3%.
But, as I have been predicting since December, several councils chose to forego a rise.
Eight councils - all with Labour leaders - are voluntarily freezing the basic rate of council tax in a move which is not without its risks.
Any council which voluntarily foregoes some income may find it hard to say it is not getting enough government money - an argument used by First Minister Nicola Sturgeon at Holyrood.
It may also leave a council open to claims from local campaigners that is not doing all it can to mitigate cuts and savings.
A further three councils - all with the SNP in the driving seat - have opted for rises of less than 3%.
Twenty-one councils - including others led by Labour and the SNP - decided to go for full 3% rises. The average bill will rise by no more than £3-4 a month.
The most expensive council tax is in Glasgow while the least expensive is in the Western Isles. The difference in Band D bills between the two areas is £194 a year.
But, of course, around a quarter of people face far more significant increases regardless of local decisions because of national changes to how bills are calculated which have been made by the Scottish government.
The elephant in the room is May's council elections. National polls suggest Labour could find it hard to retain some of its councils although locally some senior Labour figures seem more confident.
So will local council tax freezes actually prove popular despite the concerns some have expressed?
And how might voters react in those areas where they are being asked to pay more even though there will still be cuts and savings?
The Russian coastguard is towing the ship towards the city of Murmansk, a journey expected to take several days.
Four of the Greenpeace activists had tried to board a Gazprom oil rig on Wednesday, to protest against drilling.
Russia accused Greenpeace of violating an exclusion zone around the rig, but the group said its ship was in international waters.
Greenpeace published photos that it said showed Russian security personnel in balaclavas confronting the activists with guns and knives after abseiling from helicopters onto the Dutch-flagged Arctic Sunrise.
Greenpeace says planned drilling at Gazprom's Prirazlomnaya rig in the Barents Sea threatens a unique and fragile environment - a claim denied by Moscow.
"The safety of our activists remains our top priority and we are working hard to establish what is facing them," said Ben Ayliffe, head of Greenpeace International's Arctic oil campaign.
"They have done nothing to warrant this level of aggression and have been entirely peaceful throughout," he said.
Greenpeace dismissed claims that a safety pod on the ship in any way resembled a bomb.
The group of activists being held includes six Britons.
A spokeswoman for the Murmansk region's border guards told local media that the Arctic Sunrise's captain had already been questioned, and the activists were being taken to court for "further legal procedures".
The Russian foreign ministry earlier accused the group of "aggressive and provocative" behaviour.
Moscow also said that its coastguard vessel had to fire warning shots across Arctic Sunrise.
The Gazprom project is Russia's first effort to extract oil from the Barents Sea.
Prirazlomnaya is scheduled to begin production by the end of the year. Russia's economy and its recent growth depend to a large extent on income from its huge oil and gas deposits.
Three million cubic metres of sea bed will be removed to deepen and widen a 4 mile (7km) channel.
It will allow the navy's new 65,000-tonne aircraft carriers, HMS Queen Elizabeth and HMS Prince of Wales to enter the port.
The work costing £31m is expected take eight months.
The MoD said high-voltage power for the ships when berthed and new gangways were also being installed in the naval base to accommodate the vessels.
HMS Queen Elizabeth is due to be handed over to the MoD in 2016 ahead of being put into service in 2020.
Work is also under way on a second aircraft carrier, HMS Prince Of Wales.
It works by releasing fluorescent dye from tiny capsules when toxins are given out by bacteria in a wound.
This allows doctors to identify bacterial infections and treat them more quickly, particularly in children with burns.
Researchers said it could help to save lives.
Children with burn wounds are particularly susceptible to bacterial infections because of their immature immune systems.
These infections can slow the healing of wounds, leading to longer stays in hospital and sometimes permanent scarring. In severe cases, infections can kill.
Doctors find it very difficult to diagnose infections quickly and easily without removing the dressing, which can be painful and create more scarring.
Because of this, antibiotics are often prescribed as a precaution before the infection is confirmed.
However, treatment with antibiotics when there is no infection can lead to bacteria becoming resistant to antibiotics - and antibiotic resistance is a major health concern.
Dr Toby Jenkins, reader in biophysical chemistry at Bath, leading the project, said "it could really help to save lives."
The team has been awarded almost £1m by the Medical Research Council to test the responsiveness of the prototype dressing to samples taken from the wounds of burns victims.
Amber Peat disappeared from her home in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire on Saturday.
A body, believed to be Amber's, was found on Tuesday evening and her family was informed, although formal identification is yet to take place.
Floral tributes and messages have been left at the scene, while her school principal described her as a "bright" girl who loved singing and dancing.
Amber's death is not being treated as suspicious by police.
A cordon has been lifted close to where the body was found, near houses in Westfield Lane, about a mile from Amber's home. A post-mortem examination is due to be held later.
An officer at the scene told the BBC the area had previously been searched.
Rianna Richards, 12, was in tears as she laid flowers in memory of her friend. She said she had been sent home from school because she was so upset.
"She was a nice person, she was funny," Rianna said.
Rianna's mother, Sharon, said: "You don't really expect this to happen this close to home. It's hard to take in when things like this happen.
"Obviously, we don't know what's happened. It's hard to imagine. I think it's just more shock than anything."
One message left at the scene read: "I hope your parents find the strength to find peace. Hope the angels make you smile."
In a statement, Mike Smith, principal at Queen Elizabeth's Academy, said: "Amber has been a student at the school since September.
"Academically bright, she has been in the choir and has loved singing and dancing. Amber has been happy at the academy.
"Students who have been particularly affected are being supported by staff and trained counsellors.
"This is a close-knit, community academy and everybody is supporting each other at this difficult time."
Hundreds of people had been involved in the search for Amber after she went missing at the weekend.
Supt Matt McFarlane, who co-ordinated the search, thanked the community for its support.
"From the moment Amber was reported missing our teams worked tirelessly alongside the community to try and find her," he said.
"Over four hundred officers and staff, including those from our five neighbouring East Midlands forces, were looking for her. Sadly, this was not the outcome that any of us were hoping for.
"Our thoughts are with Amber's family, and we do ask that you please respect their privacy and that of her wider family."
The teenager's parents Kelly and Danny Peat, who had just returned from holiday in Cornwall, made an appeal for help at a news conference.
Mr Peat said: "We had just all had a brilliant holiday. It's just not right.
"We told her to clean a cool box out that we had had sandwiches in for the journey home.
"It was a chore, basically, and I'm sure all teenagers are the same, she didn't want to do a chore. That was the last conversation."
Mrs Peat said: "We were in the living room and I heard the front door slam."
"I heard the door and when I went out I couldn't see her anywhere. She had just gone."
Tara O'Reilly says her mother, who has motor neurone disease, wants to die with dignity.
She said she wants to help her mother Jackie Baker choose the time and method of her death.
Assisting a suicide or suicide attempt is a criminal offence and Dyfed-Powys Police said it was aware of the case and is looking into the fundraising.
Ms O'Reilly said they needed £8,000 to fund the trip and had no alternative but to ask for help.
A person encouraging or assisting a suicide or suicide attempt could face up to 14 years in prison, if a decision was taken to prosecute.
But Ms O'Reilly told BBC Wales that the family had thought long and hard about their mother's wishes.
Ms O'Reilly said: "My mother spoke to me and my sister about it and she said if it gets worse, which it has, she wanted to go to Switzerland.
"We were distraught, because it's unthinkable.
"But as the months have gone, and we've seen how much she has deteriorated, unable to feed herself, dress herself.
"It's cruel. You wouldn't let your cat or dog suffer, you'd take them to the vets. It's kind.
"This is not kind. Having to wipe your mother's mouth, feed her and give her drinks through a straw."
Ian Scrivener, 35, of Milton Keynes, admitted careless driving on the A74(M) near Beattock in June last year.
Dumfries Sheriff Court heard the baby had to be taken to hospital in Glasgow with a head injury after the crash.
Sheriff Brian Mohan said Scrivener had a record of driving offences and deferred sentence for a month.
The minibus driver also admitted driving with only a provisional licence and no insurance.
The baby girl was one of eight people, including five other children, who were injured in the crash. They were all travelling in the minibus.
Firefighters had to use cutting gear to rescue some of the passengers from the vehicle.
The baby was taken to the Royal Hospital for Sick Children in Glasgow where she was kept in overnight after suffering suspected head injuries.
The others were taken to Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary with a variety of minor injuries.
Fiscal depute Jennifer McGill said that Scrivener had taken over at the wheel when the driver complained of being tired.
Solicitor Ranald Lindsay told the court he had been tested for blackouts but the results had proved negative.
Sentence was deferred for background reports.
Professor John Drew has been appointed to examine whether the force's culture, leadership and performance hindered proper investigation of allegations.
The review, expected to take three months, is due to start in September and will be made public in early 2016.
A report found 1,400 children were abused in Rotherham from 1997 to 2013.
The report, by Professor Alexis Jay, said the force "gave no priority to child sexual exploitation, regarding many child victims with contempt and failing to act on their abuse as a crime."
In March a former South Yorkshire Police officer alleged the force failed to act over hundreds of claims of sexual abuse made by girls in Sheffield.
South Yorkshire's Police and Crime Commissioner Dr Alan Billings, who commissioned the review, said he wanted it to be "fast but thorough".
He said: "I want a report at the end which satisfies me that South Yorkshire Police has genuinely acknowledged and fully addressed non-recent, as well as present day, occurrences of child sexual exploitation and I want to feel certain that robust plans are in place to ensure that nothing like this can ever happen again.
"Most of all I want to restore public confidence in South Yorkshire Police."
What will the review cover?
Culture: Is the current organisational culture across the four districts a help or hindrance to future openness and transparency?
Effective appropriate leadership: Are South Yorkshire Police (SYP) leaders effectively driving the fight against child sexual exploitation?
Performance: Has a target-focused recording of crime mentality prevented SYP from effectively tackling child sexual exploitation sooner?
Victim focus: Is the victim at the forefront of all policing decisions within SYP?
Scale: Is the scale of the problem confined to Rotherham, or county-wide?
Partnership working: Do current partnership relationships allow for open and honest discussions to take place, with free exchange of information?
Prosecutions and case-building: Has SYP encouraged case-building against perpetrators of child sexual exploitation, acknowledging the intricacies of information gathering?
Resource management: Does current SYP technology allow for the effective recording and sharing of information and data regarding child sexual exploitation?
Three other inquiries - by the National Crime Agency, the Independent Police Complaints Commission and HM Inspectorate of Constabulary - are already underway.
Dr Billings said he was keen to avoid "unnecessary overlap".
Prof Drew has also worked as director of Social Services and Housing in the London Borough of Redbridge and county inspector of Social Services for Essex.
Nathan Gill told the party's conference in Llandudno EU responsibilities over farming, fishing, and business would transfer to Cardiff Bay.
But the Wales Stronger in Europe group said "vital EU funding" for farmers and businesses would be lost.
UKIP leader Nigel Farage said he was optimistic his party would "make a breakthrough" in the assembly election.
With elections in Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and London amongst the polls taking place on 5 May, he told the conference UKIP faced a "vast organisational task".
"But I'm pretty optimistic, I'm certainly optimistic here in Wales, that we're going to do very well and make a breakthrough," he said.
"We will once again do what we did in the general election, we will surprise the commentators by just how many votes we take from the Labour Party."
Appealing to Labour supporters and trade unionists to get behind the campaign to leave the EU, Mr Farage warned that the referendum in June could not be won "from the centre-right of politics in this country".
"We must portray this as not being a battle of left and right, it's a battle of right and wrong, it's a battle about who governs our country, that's the message we've got to put out there," he said.
Earlier, playing down the party's assembly selection row, Mr Farage told BBC Wales "the messages" not "the messenger" were important.
Mr Gill has said getting 10 regional AMs elected in May's assembly election would be a good result for the party.
But after a long-running internal row, the party is yet to finalise its regional candidate selections.
Mr Gill told the conference: "We can bring back the 75% of laws made by faceless bureaucrats in Brussels, from farming, fishing and employment, energy, business and trade - a whole host of laws that would end up right where they belong, here in Wales, written for the people of Wales, by the people of Wales and for the people of Wales to democratically vote on.
"Now that's what I call real devolution.
"We can protect our industries, tap into our wealth of natural resources and put power back into the hands of the people."
A fringe meeting at the conference with Mr Farage had to be moved due to the number of people who wanted to attend.
He eventually addressed delegates from a stairway at Venue Cymru, urging UKIP members to work with other parties in the EU referendum campaign.
Plaid Cymru AM and Wales Stronger in Europe spokesman Rhodri Glyn Thomas said: "Given that UKIP spent years opposing devolution altogether, their apparent conversion to giving the assembly more powers rings hollow indeed.
"If the UK left Europe, vital EU funding for Welsh farmers, businesses and universities would be lost, wreaking untold damage on our economy."
Finance ministers from the world's leading economies also warned of a "shock" to the global economy if the UK leaves the EU.
UKIP Wales' main policies for the assembly election are:
The Northern Irishman carded four bogeys and a solitary birdie in a second successive three-over-par 73.
Padraig Harrington's dismal form this season continued as he added a 73 to his opening 77 to finish on 10 over.
Three-time major winner Harrington has not qualified for next week's big event at Oakmont.
McDowell won the US Open at Pebble Beach in 2010 but he has struggled for consistency over the past three seasons and he is currently 75th in the world rankings.
American Daniel Berger has a three-shot lead at the halfway stage after a six-under-par 64 left him on nine under.
Another American Tom Hoge is on six under with Dustin Johnson, Phil Mickelson and Brooks Koepka all four shots off the pace.
Compatriot Callum Smith will fight Swede Erik Skoglund at the same weight in the $50m (£41m) tournament.
Chris Eubank Jr will also take part if he beats Arthur Abraham on 15 July. He would face Turkey's Avni Yildirim.
The knockout series features eight fighters at both super-middleweight and cruiserweight.
The winners of the tournament - which organisers say will "change the world of boxing" - will earn a share of the $50m prize and take the Muhammad Ali trophy.
If a world champion fights during the series, their belt will be on the line.
Groves, Smith and Eubank Jr picked their opponents at the draw in Monte Carlo as they were seeded. Eubank Jr was represented by his father.
Groves said choosing Cox was "strategic", adding: "It's a long tournament and you pick the easy guys first."
Smith, meanwhile, sacrificed a WBC world title shot against Anthony Dirrell to take part.
"I think stylistically, Erik is the best fight for me," he said.
Super-middleweight
George Groves v Jamie Cox
Callum Smith v Erik Skoglund
Chris Eubank Jr/Arthur Abraham v Avni Yildirim
Jurgen Brahmer v Rob Brant

Richard and Angela Maxwell, both 67, from Boston, won £53,193,914 in the EuroMillions jackpot draw on Tuesday.
It is the 10th-biggest UK lottery win, with the couple saying they would help family and friends.
Mr Maxwell said he waited for four hours to tell his wife as she did not answer her mobile phone and then thought it was an April Fool's joke.
Mr Maxwell said he checked the results online on Wednesday and was left "in shock" when they matched.
Teenage millionaire: Life as one of the youngest lottery winners
But he could not tell his wife as she was out at a luncheon club.
"When she came back later that afternoon, she was carrying a basket of tea towels and she started asking me about our dinner plans that evening," he said.
"I immediately told her we weren't going out for dinner. I said 'We can't go out for dinner Angela, I've got something to tell you'."
Mrs Maxwell said: "I didn't know what to think. Richard just went red in the face and then said 'We've won £53 million'.
"I just said 'Don't be stupid' - he's always playing jokes so I thought it was an April Fool. I just didn't believe it then he showed me the numbers on the website and I dropped the basket of tea towels on the floor.
"I then just sat down in the chair for about half an hour stunned."
The couple, who have two daughters, said they were still planning what to do with the money but that helping their family, and their wider community, was top of the list.
On Wednesday, another couple revealed they scooped a £1m lottery win for a second time.
Dave and Kathleen Long, from Scunthorpe, won their first jackpot in 2013.
Fees applied to Visa card purchases "remain unacceptably high," the company said in a statement.
Customers will no longer be able to use the card in its Thunder Bay store from 18 July and the move will be phased in across the country.
Visa accused Walmart of putting its own financial interests ahead of its customers.
"Walmart made this business decision despite Visa offering one of the lowest rates available to any merchant in the country," a spokesperson said.
The supermarket chain said it paid more than $100m (£70m) in credit card fees each year - but did not break that down for the specific companies.
All credit cards charge fees to retailers - generally between 1% and 2.5% of the sale cost. Visa and Mastercard usually charge variable fees according to the type of card used, while American Express generally charges a flat fee.
"To ensure we are taking care of our customers' best interests and delivering on our promise of saving customers money, we constantly work to reduce our operating costs, including credit card fees," Walmart Canada said.
However the company added that it remained "optimistic that we will reach an agreement with Visa".
Walmart has some 370 stores in Canada.
Last month the company as a whole reported a 7.8% fall in profit for the first three months of the year to $3.08bn.
He had been ill in hospital and died in the early hours of Monday morning.
Tributes have been pouring in for the bishop, who was from Ballyshannon, County Donegal.
The image of the then Fr Daly waving a handkerchief over one of the Bloody Sunday victims, was one of the most enduring images of the Troubles.
He was then a 39-year-old curate at St Eugene's Cathedral in Londonderry having been a priest in the city since June 1962.
He was appointed Bishop of Derry in 1974.
He was forced into full retirement in 1994 after he suffered a stroke but he continued in the role of chaplain to Derry's Foyle Hospice until February, 2016.
Bishop Daly made headlines in 2011 when he said there needed to be a place in the modern Catholic Church for married priests.
He addressed the controversial issue in his book about his life in the Church, A Troubled See.
Allowing clergymen to marry would ease the church's problems, he said.
The bishop received the Freedom of the City of Derry in 2015.
Bishop Daly was "an iconic figure in the civic and church life of Ireland", said Archbishop Eamon Martin of Armagh, the Catholic primate of Ireland.
"As the bishop who ordained me to the priesthood in 1987, I had huge admiration for Bishop Edward," said the archbishop.
"I shall always be grateful for his pastoral guidance, kindness and support."
"Bishop Edward will be remembered as a fearless peace-builder - as exemplified by his courage on Bloody Sunday in Derry - and as a holy and humble faith leader.
"Bishop Edward's bravery was also apparent in his lived conviction that violence from any side during the Troubles was futile and could never be morally justified."
Bishop Donal McKeown of Derry said: "Bishop Daly served, without any concern for himself, throughout the traumatic years of the Troubles, finding his ministry shaped by the experience of witnessing violence and its effects.
"Through this dreadful period he always strove to preach the Gospel of the peace of Christ."
Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness said Bishop Daly was "a constant right throughout the course of the last 40 odd years in the city through the good times and bad".
"Bishop Daly was inherently a shy person, he was not someone who sought the headlines, but he was propelled into the headlines because of Bloody Sunday, as he tried to help Jackie Duddy, for that iconic image," said the Sinn Fein MLA.
"He was a bishop and priest who was very in tune with the local community."
Mr McGuinness said Bishop Daly was always very critical of the IRA and "anyone that was involved in the conflict".
Pat Hume, the wife of former SDLP leader John Hume, said Bishop Daly had been an "immense source of strength" to her family.
"He was such a wonderful communicator," she told the BBC's Evening Extra programme.
"He could communicate and let a person feel so, so special and let them feel he had time for them, even though he was an extremely busy man.
"He always gave that impression that he had time for people."

Members of the public watched as it broke away on Friday afternoon.
More stormy weather and snow is expected in parts of the UK over the weekend.
Members of the public have been urged to stay away from coastlines, coastal paths and promenades.
Moira Anderson disappeared on a trip to her local shop in Coatbridge during a blizzard in February of that year, just weeks before her 12th birthday.
Her disappearance is now being treated as murder.
The court petition seeks permission to open a grave at the Old Monkland cemetery in Coatbridge, Lanarkshire.
It is thought Sinclair Upton, who died around the time Moira disappeared, is among those buried there.
He was said to be a friend of Alexander Gartshore, a bus driver whose own daughter believes he is the likely killer.
Mr Gartshore died six years ago, but his daughter Sandra Brown wrote a book accusing him of murder and has used the proceeds to set up the Moira Anderson Foundation to help families affected by child sexual abuse.
The petition has been lodged by Moira's sister, Janet Hart.
A spokesman for the Crown Office spokesman confirmed that it seeks authority for exhumation of a burial site.
"The Crown's position in relation to the petition will be confirmed directly to the court and it would therefore be inappropriate to comment further at this time," he added.
Russell Luke Bennett, 21 and Benjamin Brian Barrett, 30, from Bristol, pleaded guilty to conspiring to cause an explosion likely to endanger life and burglary at Cardiff Crown Court.
They caused explosions at two Barclays Bank cash machines - one in Treforest, Pontypridd, and another in Bridgend.
Barrett was jailed for eight-and-a-half years and Bennett seven-and-a-half.
Police called the crimes "astounding" and said they were the first of their kind in Wales.
The pair were part of a gang caught on CCTV cameras as they pumped a cash machine with gas and then hid around the corner before triggering an explosion.
The first blast at Barclays Bank in Treforest industrial estate was so powerful that the safe door, which would take around four average sized men to lift, was blown across the foyer.
The external glass window was blown outwards and all the doors throughout the bank - even those along the corridors leading away from the blast - were blown off their hinges.
Police were alerted to the explosion at about midnight on Sunday, 25 October last year by a security guard.
Officers found £45,000 had been stolen and £100,000 worth of damage had been caused.
On 2 November, the Barclays Bank cash machine in Bridgend industrial estate was targeted, with the thieves making off with about £36,000.
The men were eventually caught after DNA was found on a gas cylinder at the scene of the Bridgend raid.
When police went to arrest Barrett at his home in the Bishopsworth area of Bristol they found signs of his new-found wealth, including newly purchased furniture and carpets and an invoice for a new motorbike.
Equipment such as gas hoses which fitted cylinders recovered from the scene were found in the shed at the property.
Barrett pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to cause an explosion likely to endanger life and two counts of burglary.
Bennett, from Totterdown in Bristol, admitted one count of conspiracy to cause an explosion likely to endanger life and one count of burglary.
Det Insp Dan Michel, the senior investigating officer on the case, said the pair's "recklessness and pure gall" was "astounding".
The court heard there have been more than 100 cases of cash machines being blown up by criminals since the first example was recorded in the UK two years ago.
The 30-year-old left-back has had a one-year extension automatically added to his existing contract after making 35 first-team appearances this season.
France-born Bakayogo, who has scored once in 57 games for the Alex, is now tied to Crewe until the summer of 2018.
He moved to Gresty Road in January 2016 after a two-year injury-enforced absence from the game.
Until being signed by then boss Steve Davis after an initial trial period, the ex-Millwall, Tranmere and Leicester defender had not played since rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament 37 minutes into his debut on loan at Yeovil from Leicester in January 2014.
Bakayogo, whose existing contract was to expire in June, was relegated to the bench following David Artell's appointment as manager in January, but the Ivory Coast international was recalled to the side because of Jon Guthrie's hernia injury.

M23 official Museveni Sendugo told the BBC its forces had already pulled back 5km (three miles) from the frontline.
Rebel leader Bertrand Bisimwa said the pull-back would allow an independent investigation into how shells fell over the border in Rwanda on Thursday.
The Congolese army denies Rwandan accusations it fired the shells.
DR Congo and the UN accuse Rwanda of backing the M23, a charge it denies.
Their troops have been pounding rebel positions on the Congolese side of the border with Rwanda near the city of Goma since last week.
As tension escalated on Thursday, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon appealed to Rwanda's president for restraint.
Rwanda twice invaded its much larger neighbour during the 1990s, and the border area has been unstable for two decades.
Rwanda's Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN in New York, Olivier Nduhungirehe, told the BBC's Focus on Africa that "a red line was crossed" by DR Congo on Thursday when he said a Rwandan woman was killed in cross-border shelling.
The M23 rebels, he said, were an "internal problem" within DR Congo, and the Congolese government "should not drag Rwanda" into the dispute.
He denied allegations by the Congolese information minister that 300 Rwandan troops had been fighting alongside the M23 rebels.
Rwandan Foreign Minister Louise Mushikiwabo on Friday tweeted: "Rwandan troops are not in DRC (yet), when they are, you will know."
A newspaper close to Rwanda's government has published photographs showing a military build-up near the border with DR Congo.
Congolese government spokesman Lambert Mende told the BBC's Newsday programme that M23 rebels were firing onto Rwandan territory "to give Rwanda a pretext for coming in openly in this war".
Q&A: DR Congo's M23 rebels
The UN peacekeeping mission in DR Congo, Monusco, recently deployed a new 3,000-strong intervention brigade to tackle the rebels.
'Cannot be tolerated'
Ms Mushikiwabo on Thursday said that 23 "bombs and rockets" had been fired into Rwanda this week.
She accused DR Congo forces of targeting Rwandan civilians, and said: "We have remained restrained for as long as we can but this provocation can no longer be tolerated."
BBC Great Lakes service editor Ally Yusuf Mugenzi says that even when Rwanda invaded Congolese territory, it never made such strong accusations against the Congolese army.
Congolese army spokesman Col Olivier Hamuli told the BBC that his forces would never fire at civilian populations.
"That could only be rebels," he said, adding that M23 fighters, and not soldiers, were in the area from which the shells were fired.
This was backed up by Mr Ban's assistant, Edmond Mulet, who told the UN Security Council on Thursday that UN forces in the DR Congo had witnessed M23 rebels firing artillery into Rwanda but not the Congolese army, diplomats said.
Mr Mulet ended the session by informing members that Mr Ban had telephoned Rwandan President Paul Kagame to urge restraint.
Meanwhile South Africa, which has troops in the UN force, has warned the rebels not to try to occupy Goma.
"We're trying to send a message to the M23: This time around you're not going to see Goma," Lieutenant General Derrick Mgwebi of South Africa's defence force said, according to the AFP news agency.
At least 800,000 people have fled their homes in DR Congo since the M23 launched its rebellion in April 2012.
They briefly occupied Goma in November 2012 before pulling out under international pressure.
The M23 rebel movement is named after a 23 March 2009 peace deal that ended four years of rebellion in eastern DR Congo.
The rebels complained the Congolese government had failed to honour the agreement, which included integrating them into the army.
The M23 are mainly ethnic Tutsis, like most of Rwanda's leaders.
Eastern DR Congo has been wracked by conflict since 1994, when Hutu militias fled across the border from Rwanda after carrying out a genocide against Tutsis and moderate Hutus.
The Norwegian defended his decision to start with top scorer Kenwyne Jones on the bench in the 1-0 defeat at Wolves.
With a Capital One Cup trip to Port Vale on Tuesday and an away fixture at Fulham four days later, Solskjaer says he will continue to rotate.
"I'll always look to freshen things up at times and I'll make more right [decisions] than wrong," he said.
It's going to be a long, hard season and we need everyone firing
"Of course you think it's very simple; you can play the same 11 in 46 league games and you'll be happy.
"It doesn't happen like that, it doesn't happen in today's football with the intensity, fitness, short space of time in between games, that's just how it is."
The former Manchester United striker said resting Jones on Saturday was "part and parcel of what we're going to do throughout the whole season".
Eight new players have been brought into the club over the summer, giving Solskjaer plenty of depth in his squad.
"There's going to be games he [Jones] won't play, there's going to be games other players don't play because it's going to be a long, hard season and we need everyone firing," Solskjaer said.
Saturday's loss at Molineux was the Bluebirds' first defeat of the season but Solskjaer says there has been no knock-on effect to Mark Hudson, who scored a last-minute own goal.
"Mark is a top pro. He's been as a captain should be - just get on with it. You've got to brush it off, we all make mistakes in the game of football."
The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) said that 78,778 diesel cars were sold in January, a drop of 4.3% on the same month last year.
Over the same period sales of electric cars and other alternatively-fuelled vehicles (AFVs) jumped by 19.9%.
For the first time, AFVs now account for more than 4% of the market.
The figures show that 7,270 AFVs - including hybrids - were sold in January, gaining a 4.2% market share.
Sales of diesel cars have been falling for several months, following publicity about pollution and health issues.
In December 2016, sales of diesel cars were down by 6.8% on the same month a year earlier.
Are the headlines over diesel cars finally hitting sales? We bought a record number of cars in 2016.
But the growth in diesel sales lagged the wider market. That growth, of 0.6%, hid the fact that the move against diesel had accelerated throughout the year.
Diesel car sales have fallen in 7 of the past 8 months, compared with the previous year.
Today's figures for January seem to confirm the trend.
They show that while a year ago diesel sales were outnumbering those of petrol cars, by January 2017 that situation had reversed.
And while the market share of diesel and petrol cars was neck and neck in 2015, in January diesel's market share fell to 45.1% compared to petrol's 50.7%.
Several big cities around the world have said they want to ban diesel cars within 10 years, because of the pollution they cause.
A group of doctors has called on the Mayor of London to ban them in the capital, while Westminster will hit some diesel drivers with extra parking charges from April.
The government is also thought to be planning a diesel scrappage scheme, to encourage motorists to ditch cars which are the heaviest polluters.
However, the SMMT figures show that overall sales of vehicles in the UK last month were at their highest January level in 12 years.
In total 174,564 cars were sold, a rise of 2.9% on January 2016.
Motorists who buy electric or hybrid petrol/electric cars still enjoy a grant from the government, worth up to 35% - or £4,500 - of the total value. | Ten former McDonald's workers have sued it in the Virginia federal court for racial and sexual discrimination.

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

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

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

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

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

Gaynor latched onto a long ball and poked the ball past Conor Devlin for the opener in the 56th minute.
Waterworth shrugged off a defender and slid a low shot into the bottom corner for the second with 14 minutes left.
Gaynor's penalty after Devlin fouled Paul Smyth made it 3-0, then Devlin and Caoimhin Bonner were sent-off late on.
Both players received two yellow cards, the Reds goalkeeper being dismissed by referee Andrew Davey for apparent dissent after initially kicking the ball towards the Linfield players after Gaynor's successful spot-kick in injury-time.
Bonner was given his marching orders after a foul on Guy Bates soon after.
The Reds' best chances fell to David McDaid, but he was denied by Gareth Deane in the early stages and skewed a curling left-foot effort wide of the post in the second half.
Goalscoring opportunities were at a premium in the opening period, but Waterworth went close for the visitors when his right-foot drive was pushed over by Devlin.
After the interval, with the Blues already two goals up, defender Mark Stafford saw his header cannon off the bar.
Linfield will face Lurgan Celtic in the semi-finals at Windsor Park on Friday night, 1 April.
Linfield manager David Healy: "The first-half was a bit scrappy but I thought we merited the win by virtue of our second-half performance.
"We kept putting into practice what we had talked about in training and took our goals well. We will give Lurgan Celtic every respect in the semi-finals, we'll have them watched and prepare in a professional manner."
Some employers were worried about being fined if they did not register before a deadline next week.
One business owner told the BBC he had been unable to get onto the website since Monday.
However, the regulator said the website was now up and running again.
A spokesperson said that customers should be able to get onto the website without difficulty, but anyone facing problems should call the helpline, on 0345 600 1011.
Thousands of small businesses with between one and 19 employees are currently having to tell the regulator how they are conforming to the new pension rules.
Under the law, anyone over the age of 22 and earning more than £10,000 a year has to be offered a pension.
Martyn Tucker, formerly of Chester, admitted 28 further offences of indecent assault or gross indecency between 1967 and 1985.
On Tuesday, Caernarfon Crown Court heard that one of the victims was just 12 at the time.
Tucker is due be sentenced in August or September.
The court was told "statements of complaint" from new victims had been generated as a result of the publicity of the previous case in May 2014 when Tucker was jailed for 12 years.
That case involved five boys in abuse dating back 46 years, with some offences occurring in Flintshire while he was a scoutmaster in the area.
Myles Wilson, prosecuting, asked for two further cases alleging sexual activity with a child of 13 in 2008 - to which Tucker pleaded not guilty - to lie on file. Judge Niclas Parry agreed.
His lawyer Stephen Edwards said he was serving his sentence at Rye Hill prison, near Rugby, and his earliest release date was May 2020.
The restrictions include the quarantining of hospitals and clinics where new cases are detected, new rules on burials and possible lockdowns.
The Ebola outbreak began in Guinea in December 2013.
In January, the World Health Organization reported a steady drop in cases in the three epicentre countries.
But renewed concern has been triggered by fresh setbacks in these countries - Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea.
Mr Conde said he was declaring "a reinforced health emergency for a period of 45 days in the prefectures of Forecariah, Coyah, Dubreka, Boffa and Kindia" in a statement published in national media.
The focus of the virus "has shifted to our country's coastal areas," he said.
He added: "Wherever the need may be, throughout this period, measures of restriction and confinement will be taken."
It is a first for the country since the outbreak began, Reuters reported.
On Friday, Sierra Leone began a three-day nationwide lockdown sparked by fears the virus was making a comeback in some parts of the country.
The southwest region of Guinea borders northern districts of Sierra Leone that are focus areas for the lockdown there.
On Friday evening Guinea deployed security forces to its south-west in response to reports Sierra Leoneans were crossing the border to flee the operation, an official told Associated Press.
Sierra Leone government spokesman Theo Nicol said the two countries had agreed to police the border so people with Ebola symptoms did not cross.
Since the Ebola outbreak began more than 24,000 people in nine countries have been infected with the virus, and over 10,000 of them have died.

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

The 22-year-old, named on Monday in Vern Cotter's squad for the two-Test trip next month, has finished his domestic season with the capital side.
Hoyland won his sole senior cap as a replacement in a pre-World Cup warm-up test in Italy last August.
He has has scored 18 tries in eight previous World Sevens Series events.
It will be his first appearance since the final round of last year's series at Twickenham, when his five tries were the springboard for a senior XVs call-up.
"Damien will add potency to our attack," said Scotland sevens coach Calum MacRae, whose 12-man squad also includes departing Edinburgh wing Dougie Fife and Glasgow's Edinburgh-bound full-back Glenn Bryce.
"He is excited about playing on the World Series again and is high on confidence having just been selected for the national team's tour to Japan."
The final round of this year's series takes place in London on 21-22 May.
Sharon Edwards, 42, denies murdering David Edwards, 51, with a kitchen knife at their home in Chorley, Lancashire.
The couple married in Las Vegas in June 2015 and Mr Edwards was found dead two months later, Manchester Crown Court was told.
The defendant was described as "domineering" and "very jealous".
The jury was told she had beaten her husband throughout their relationship and Mr Edwards had been recorded saying his new wife could "knock him out with one punch" and that she hit "rather hard".
Prosecuting, Anne Whyte QC said Mr Edwards, a criminal lawyer, had been "under the thumb" and was "plainly besotted" after meeting his wife-to-be in June 2014.
The court heard that, upon returning from a holiday in Spain on 22 August, the couple had argued and Mrs Edwards' 19-year-old daughter - who is to be a witness for the prosecution - saw Mr Edwards "calling for help" and cleaning blood from his chest.
Mrs Edwards told her daughter she had put a knife to his chest but had not intended to hurt him, jurors were told.
The court heard Mr Edwards would not say what had happened and despite being "visibly injured", the couple went to the pub.
Ms Whyte said: "There was blood on his T-shirt and shorts and around his leg. There was a cut to his head and blood coming down his neck. People expressed concern about him (at the pub) although Sharon Edwards notably did not."
The pair were later found arguing in the street before Mrs Edwards, who was "behaving in an accusing way", was taken home by police.
Mr Edwards was found dead in bed the following day. Blood was discovered on the carpet and in the kitchen.
Before his holiday he was asked not to come back into work which "was perhaps just one of the reasons why the holiday was not an unmitigated success," Ms Whyte added.
The court heard Mrs Edwards told police: "I didn't know he had walked into [the knife] until I saw all the blood", and stated he had "begged" her not to call for an ambulance.
She added that they had gone upstairs to have sex and his wound had stopped bleeding before she had fallen asleep on the sofa.
Ms Whyte told the jury: "David Edwards has quite literally been stabbed in the heart. That, we say, could not have happened accidently.
"On 23 August [Mrs Edwards] went too far and she knows she went too far. Twice in two successive days she used such a weapon in anger against a man whom she knew would never restrain her or physically fight back."
The trial continues.
Thousands of athletes of all abilities took part in the new day-long event around St James' Park.
Paralympic athletes David Weir and Richard Whitehead also took part in the race which finished outside Buckingham Palace.
The Bupa Westminster Mile featured more than 30 races.
Farah said: "I am very happy to be part of this new event taking place on the most famous mile in the world, following the 2012 Olympics and Paralympics in London.
"Such an event inclusive of all age groups and abilities, is a great legacy from the (Olympic) games and an inspiration to all."
Lisa Dobriskey - who in 2009 broke the four minute barrier to move second behind Kelly Holmes on the British all time ranking list for a 1500m race - also took part.
The event was organised by the London Marathon in partnership with Westminster City Council.
London Marathon race director Hugh Brasher said: "Britain has an amazing heritage in the mile, with Sir Roger Bannister being the first person to run under four minutes and more latterly the 1980s world record holders Sebastian Coe, Steve Ovett and Steve Cram.
"We believe that this exciting new event can carry on the great work that London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games did to inspire a generation."
Police said the suspects were four men in their 20s and a 17-year-old boy.
They were arrested after police conducting an anti-graffiti operation found the footage on a GoPro camera.
The alleged assault took place in May during a party in Sydney's suburb of St Clair, police said, and was not reported at the time.
The 16 minutes of footage, found later that month, depicted "multiple sexual assaults of a teenage girl by a number of male offenders," a New South Wales police statement said.
Police are alleging up to eight men were in the room at the time, with a number of them involved in the assault.
Detective Chief Inspector Peter Yeomans, from the Child Abuse squad, was quoted by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation that "it was quite obvious to investigators when viewing this footage that the child was either unconscious or semi-conscious during these assaults".
Officials believe that the victim - who has not been identified and is currently in counselling - may have had her drink spiked at the party.
Australian media have named two of the men charged with sexual assault at Penrith Local Court as Andrew Waters and Kurt Stevenson. Another man and an unnamed teenager also face similar charges.
A fifth person, Tristan Carlyle-Watson, was charged with concealing a serious offence.
Homes, a nearby shop and post office in Llanrhaeadr-ym-Mochnant were affected by the incident on Friday.
United Utilities, which owns the pipe, is investigating the incident, which hit 30-40 properties in total.
Spokesman Sean Robinson said all properties would receive £250 compensation immediately "as a goodwill gesture".
Fire crews attended the the incident following the burst in one of the three main pipes carrying water from Lake Vyrnwy to Oswestry.
The cause is not yet known, although Mr Robinson said water supply in the area had not been affected, as the other two pipes were still working normally.
"Between 30 and 40 properties were affected," he added. "Some had basements that are completely flooded and others have some flooding outside.
"Twelve families spent the night in hotels or bed and breakfast accommodation.
"We are providing each property with immediate compensation of £250 as a goodwill gesture and we are sending in teams of loss adjusters today to assess the damage and explain the process for claiming for any losses and getting homes and businesses back to normal as quickly as possible."
Diane Crocker, who runs a bed and breakfast in the village, said she had lost a number of items in the flood after water got into their cellar.
"It's not good. It's not one of my better days, I must admit, but I am trying to be very positive and think nobody was hurt, there isn't sewage in, which would have been horrendous.
"So yes, we just have to count our blessings."
Powys councillor Aled Davies said he had "concerns" about the pipes above the village, saying one had fractured "quite often".
United Utilities said it had a "robust maintenance programme" in place for all four pipes in the area and it was aware that one had burst previously.
"We will be carrying out a thorough investigation to identify the cause of this latest event to help prevent a recurrence," said Sean Robinson of the company.
Over the last decade, he has written and produced hits for Beyonce (XO), Adele (Rumour Has It) and Taylor Swift (Welcome To New York), while his own band's hits include Apologise, Counting Stars and the current single Kids.
You may have heard him talking about songwriting, because that's what most interviews - including his last encounter with the BBC - tend to focus on.
But the 37-year-old is pop music's very own Renaissance Man - investing in medicine, accumulating historical artefacts and compiling the ultimate coffee bible.
So, rather than ask him about Adele and Beyonce, we used the song titles from the new OneRepublic album, Oh My My, as the jumping off point for a series of random, but revealing questions.
It turns out that some things are more important than his trophy cabinet...
What's the worst injury you've ever had?
When my Achilles heel exploded. I was playing basketball and my ankle just went off like a firework.
That was very painful, but it wasn't close to what happened next. I got to the hospital and the last little bit of tendon that was attaching my calf muscle to my ankle popped, so my entire calf muscle rolled up behind my knee. No pain in this lifetime will compare. It was so severe that I actually passed out.
What will happen to America after the election?
Oh my God. My grandfather was born in the 1930s and he says this is the worst election he's seen in his lifetime.
I don't think either candidate is the devil. If you're voting experience, Hillary clearly wins because you get two presidents for the price of one - her and Bill. But then you have all the trust issues. Trump, I don't even have to go into detail on why that's scary.
But I'll say this: The future still looks good because of the checks and balances system we have. If Trump gets in, he's going to get stonewalled.
What's the best thing about being a father?
Everything is the best thing about being a father. When our youngest kid sees me, he lights up like a Christmas tree. It's love on another level. Rare is the person you would throw yourself in front of a moving car for, but kids bring that out in you.
Do you have a recurring nightmare?
I've had one since college. It's the last week of school, and I get a call from a professor saying, "You didn't come to my class once this entire semester and I'm failing you, so you're not going to graduate".
You know why I have that dream? Because that actually happened. I was enrolled on a physical education course, but I didn't know and I missed every lesson. The guy said the only way he'd pass me was if I came in the next three days in a row, and ran two miles, then three miles, then five miles. And I had to do each one in a certain time. The three-mile race I had to do in 22 minutes, so a seven-minute mile, and I almost died.
After I did it, the guy looked at me and he shook his head, and he said, "You're lucky you're in decent shape because I was ready to fail you".
You grew up in Tulsa which is a big oil city. Are you for or against fossil fuels?
When I first made money from Apologise and Bleeding Love, I wanted to buy a solar panel farm. I was immediately looking into that as an investment strategy. I've invested in Elon Musk's [solar panel company] SolarCity and Tesla. I refuse to believe we live on a planet that doesn't have 100% renewable resources.
I don't like to invest in bonds and mutual funds, so you have to find something, whether it's a streaming service or a green technology service, or a cancer-fighting company, and invest early. I'll cold call them and be like, "Hey, you're developing an early-detection cancer system, what would it take to invest in your company?".
Is it possible for a songwriter to improve with age?
That's a really interesting question. In Nashville, there's a much greater likelihood that you can continue to have hits in your 50s and 60s.
The only pop writer I can name in the whole world who has continued to have true hits is Billy Steinberg [Madonna's Like A Virgin, The Bangles' Eternal Flame]. He still understands the craft and melody. And the key is collaboration. You have to have youth injected into your sphere.
So I'd say it's possible, but unlikely.
What was the key ingredient in the conception of this album?
Friends. Ed Sheeran influenced a few songs in terms of how I approached the lyrics. Bono made me question everything, try and beat every lyric, be more brutal.
But I have a couple of guy friends who are in their early 30s and they don't care about pop music. Those guys give me the best feedback. Their response means more to me than anyone.
Have you had your hands insured?
I'm not Elton John, I've never thought of insuring my hands! But if we're in the middle of a tour I'm not really supposed to ski. Our tour insurance policy forbids it.
Who is your most famous neighbour?
I have two. On my left is Hedi Slimane, the fashion designer, and my other next-door neighbour is Mark Hoppus from Blink 182.
Our other neighbours are the Clintons' doctors. So at least twice a year our entire cul-de-sac gets shut down. The Clintons will come over and you have to go through secret service to get to your own house.
What's the first thing you do when you arrive in a new city?
I look for the best coffee shop in the city. I get online the night before and I Google coffee shops and then I read reviews on Yelp. Then I'll go and look at photos of them - because I'm a total nerd. I do this in every city. And I mean every city: Belgrade, Bucharest, Auckland, Moscow.
Will I write a book? Maybe. I have all the notes stored in my phone.
If your house burned down, what's the one thing you'd save, apart from your family?
I would say the documents that I've collected. I have handwritten letters from George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. I have one of the last remaining photographs of Lincoln before he died. I have a hand-drafted letter from Napoleon while he was at the peak of his power, with the seal of Italy. I've got a photo of the first flight taking off in Kitty Hawk, signed by Orville Wright. I have coins that were minted in 2 AD in Jerusalem, as Christ was literally walking through the streets.
They're all in the same area of my house and they're mostly wood and paper, so I'd be sprinting to those with a blanket, and I'd grab them and run out the door. The Grammys can burn.
Do you read your own press?
Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. It literally depends on the mood.
My issue with critics is… it's funny… I read a negative review of us a few years ago and I was like, "I need to know more about this guy because he's speaking as though he wouldn't like us if we were the last band on earth". So I go and look at who he likes, and he just went to a Black Sabbath concert, he loves Megadeth, he thinks Arcade Fire is "too pop". I was like this guy can go stuff himself.
That's the only time I get irritated. Don't review us if you are predisposed to hate us.

The victims, in their 20s and from Canvey, Essex, are in hospital with injuries to their upper body. They are are not thought to be life-threatening.
Officers were called to a "firearms incident" in Somnes Avenues, Canvey, at about 03:30 BST on Saturday.
The suspect, 22, from the town, is being questioned by police. The scene has been sealed off and inquiries are continuing.
Police are appealing for any witnesses to contact them.
Gross misconduct notices have been served on seven police officers as part of an investigation into the handling of allegations against Watkins.
They include three from South Yorkshire Police, two from Bedfordshire Police, and two from South Wales Police.
Last year Watkins was jailed for 29 years for serious child sex offences.
Independent Police Complaints Commission commissioner Jan Williams said: "We are continuing to gather and analyse information in all three investigations in order to establish what steps were taken by police in response to the allegations made against Ian Watkins, whether he could have been brought to justice sooner and whether his celebrity status had any impact on those investigations."
The Pontypridd-born Lostprophets singer was jailed after admitting a catalogue of serious sex offences involving children.
Watkins admitted the attempted rape and sexual assault of a child under 13 but pleaded not guilty to rape.
He also admitted conspiring to rape a child, three counts of sexual assault involving children, seven involving taking, making or possessing indecent images of children and one of possessing an extreme pornographic image involving a sex act on an animal.
The IPCC said it has received a substantial amount of documentation from the three forces involved which is being analysed by investigators.
The officers served with misconduct notices are:
The inquiry will look at complaints about how South Yorkshire Police handling of three reports made to the force between March and May 2012 which contained allegations against Watkins with potential evidence.
It will also scrutinise how Bedfordshire Police dealt with information from a member of the public who reported an allegation of child abuse against Watkins in October 2012.
Ms Williams said progress on the inquiry was being made.
"We have now conducted two interviews with a detective sergeant from South Wales Police about his actions in relation to information about Ian Watkins," she said.
"We anticipate he will be interviewed again in the near future."
South Wales Police and South Yorkshire Police said they were cooperating with the IPCC.
Bedfordshire Police added: "At the time of the original investigation there was insufficient evidence to apply to the magistrates for a warrant. A medical examination of the child did not reveal any evidence of abuse at that time. However, information was shared with partner agencies, including South Wales Police and child protection processes followed."
Mild temperatures and high winds have affected Scotland's ski season so far this winter.
However, this week has seen heavy snowfalls and freezing temperatures allowing some resorts to offer some snowsports.
Nevis Range said the season has started later than usual but hopes for a prolonged spell of suitable conditions.
The centre near Fort William along Glencoe Mountain, Lecht, CairnGorm Mountain and Glenshee have been putting updates on their websites about their availability for snowsports.
A spokesperson for Nevis Range said: "It's been a later than usual start to the snowsports season at Nevis Range.
"However, in previous years we've still been open for snowsports in April and had lovely skiing conditions into May."
A late start to the 2015-16 snowsports season had a "significant impact" and reduced the number of days available for skiing and snowboarding.
Ski-Scotland, the organisation that promotes Scottish snowsports, said it had involved 207,770 skier days.
It also estimated that the industry generated almost £21m for the economy during the season.
Previous seasons involved bigger numbers - 2012-13 had 290,996 skier days and raised more than £29m.
The more recent 2014-15 season involved 230,634 skier days, raising £23.2m.
It was also the first in years that all five of Scotland's outdoor ski centres opened for snowsports before Christmas.
For the 2015-16 season, the sites had to wait until January for sufficient snow cover, though Nevis Range and the Lecht in Aberdeenshire were able to open for a short time at the end of December 2015.
Joel Moon was first to cross but the Giants hit back through Danny Brough and Jermaine McGillvary.
The Rhinos levelled when Liam Sutcliffe stormed over and Jordan Lilley converted, before Michael Lawrence instantly restored Huddersfield's lead.
Jimmy Keinhorst stretched to score and Lilley secured Leeds' first Super League victory from the tee.
The champions have struggled in 2016 so far, having lost in the league to Warrington, Widnes and Catalans and suffered a heavy defeat by North Queensland Cowboys in the World Club Challenge.
Brian McDermott's side, who have also suffered injuries to several key players, including captain Danny McGuire and talismanic winger Tom Briscoe, next face a trip to Wigan, who they defeated in last season's Grand Final.
Daniel Smith hobbled off early on for an injury-hit Huddersfield, while Moon and Ash Handley failed to complete the game for Leeds.
The result sees the pointless Giants drop to the bottom of the table, with Leeds moving to ninth.
The shock of both sides lying in the league's bottom two before kick-off added extra spice to an already passionate local derby.
Two of Super League's recent high achievers were already without key personnel through injuries, and Huddersfield will have been further frustrated by the loss of Dan Smith early on.
Despite tricky conditions, the game was played at a furious pace but peppered with errors, while Danny Brough and former Giants team-mate Brett Ferres were involved in several spats throughout as tempers flared.
However, Leeds weathered the visitors pressure to finish the game in the ascendancy and pick up their first points.
Leeds Rhinos boss Brian McDermott:
"I didn't think the half-backs did anything special although ultimately Jordan Lilley's kicking and Liam Sutcliffe's try probably got us the game.
"But it shouldn't have been that hard. It was two committed teams who were almost trying too hard at times.
"I think it's too early in the season for me to be saying, 'A win's a win'. I don't think it's about that. We need to string some passages of play together that we're working on but it isn't happening on game day.
"I don't think we're lacking confidence or are overanxious, I just think we're desperate. I thought we worked our rocks off defensively but were disjointed in attack."
Huddersfield Giants head coach Paul Anderson:
"I think we gifted it away. We talked at half-time about completing some sets - you complete to compete.
"But we gave a sheer weight of possession away to Leeds who have got some good players.
"We were on the wrong end of an 8-1 penalty count in the second half which was embarrassing, not from our point of view but from the officials'.
"They want the ruck quick then they want it slow - they just need to make their minds up. It's pathetic at the moment.
"We have to be disappointed but the reality of it is we'll be fine. That wasn't a bottom-of-the-league performance."

Ann Clwyd called for a big anti-war march in London against Russia's bombing of civilians in Aleppo, as MPs debated the humanitarian crisis.
Her call was backed by Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson, who warned that the "wells of outrage are growing exhausted".
Russia says it is targeting terrorists.
The northern city of Aleppo is a key battleground in Syria's bloody five-year civil war.
A UN relief convoy was attacked from the air in September - an action widely attributed to Russia.
Russian President Vladimir Putin's government - which supports the government of Bashir al-Assad - has denied carrying out the action.
On Tuesday, Cynon Valley MP Ms Clwyd told MPs: "I challenge people listening to this now - let's have two million, three million, four million outside the Russian embassy, day after day after day.
"Let's show what we think of their actions in Syria and their refusal to bring peace to that country."
MPs also called for Britain to review its relationship with President Putin's regime and seek tougher trade sanctions against it.
Mr Johnson said: "It is the UK week after week that is taking the lead together with our allies in America and in France, all the like-minded nations, in highlighting what is happening in Syria to a world where, I'm afraid, the wells of outrage are growing exhausted."
He added, in response to Ms Clwyd's protest call: "I'd certainly like to see demonstrations outside the Russian embassy.
"Where is the Stop The War Coalition at the moment? Where are they?"
Before the debate, Plaid Cymru Westminster leader Hywel Williams backed suggestions that the "perpetrators of the repeated bombing of civilians, hospitals and aid convoys" should appear before the International Criminal Court".
"The innocent civilians who have been killed in Syria are victims of war crimes and those who are responsible must face an investigation," he said.
In a statement issued on Monday, the Russian government rejected UK criticism of its actions in Aleppo, questioning the UK's own contribution to military and humanitarian efforts.
The 19-year-old midfielder joined Town in 2014 from Shelbourne and made his first-team debut against Doncaster in the League Cup in August 2015.
The Republic of Ireland Under-19 man played his first Championship game on the final day of 2015-16 against Derby.
"I couldn't have had a better end to the season than playing against Derby," he told the club website.
"This season it will be about more than just making the bench but to get more playing time. I'm still only 19 but I feel I'm good enough to be in the first team so I'm looking to play more this year."
McDonnell's contract follows news earlier in July that Town youngsters James Blanchfield, George Fowler, Jacob Marsden, Monty Patterson, Shane McLoughlin and Chris Smith all penned one-year deals, with the option of a further 12 month stay.
Ryan Counsell, 28, a Muslim convert from Nottingham, had denied four charges, including having possession of an al-Qaeda bomb-making guide.
He planned to join Philippines-based terrorist group Abu Sayyaf, which is affiliated with so-called Islamic State (IS), Woolwich Crown Court heard.
He did not show any emotion as the jury returned its verdict.
Updates on this story and more from Nottinghamshire
The married father, who worked at the Hyson Green branch of Asda, claimed his interest in the Philippines was because he wanted to live "off grid".
He also said he downloaded IS videos, some of which showed beheadings, so he could analyse and write articles about them out of a "business interest".
However, at Counsell's home in Forest Fields, police also discovered an article about how to make a bomb.
Officers also found military equipment and clothing to protect against shrapnel from explosions, some of which was inside a suitcase in a child's bedroom.
Det Supt Simon Atkinson, of the North East Counter Terrorism Unit, said "immediate action" was taken to stop Counsell.
He said: "He [could have put] himself in danger and others in danger over there. He could then return with his ideas and ideology, training equipment and commit terrorist acts."
The court heard Counsell converted to Islam at 21 and taught himself about the religion from extremist websites.
Adam Deen, managing director at Quilliam, a counter-extremism think tank, said: "Converts are vulnerable to radicalisation because they are quite isolated and they only know of Islam what the extremist recruiters will tell them.
"Whereas if you look at, for example, a young Muslim, he may have family members that will be able to educate him and give him a counter narrative if you like, but in the case of a convert, that doesn't exist."
Graveney, who played 79 Tests for England before becoming a pundit and commentator, died aged 88 in November.
He also played for Gloucestershire, Worcestershire and Queensland, and is one of only 25 players to score more than 100 centuries.
Guests included Lord Mervyn King, Sir Michael Parkinson and David Gower.
Former Bank of England governor Lord King, who is president of Worcestershire County Cricket Club, said his friend would always be remembered for the "extraordinary elegance" of his batting.
"You could have watched Tom play a forward defensive stroke all day," he said.
"He was a very humble, modest person, and a very genuine and warm friend."
Fellow former England captain Gower said Graveney's qualities were still important to modern cricket fans.
"People like us look for stylists in the modern game, and there is inspiration there in the man who was Tom Graveney," he said.
Files show Brownlee was given a therapeutic use exemption (TUE) for the drug acetazolamide, which helps glaucoma and altitude sickness.
Brownlee confirmed the drug was given in October 2013 "to treat altitude sickness while climbing Kilimanjaro".
The files of 19 other athletes were published by Fancy Bears on Monday.
A TUE allows an athlete, for medical reasons, to take a prescribed substance or have treatment that is otherwise prohibited.
British athletes must contact their national governing body or follow Ukad guidance before applying for a TUE.
DR Congo, who won the inaugural CHAN tournament in 2009, dominated the match in Butare, Rwanda, with Guy Lusadisu putting them ahead after 44 minutes.
After the break, the Leopards carried on where they had left off with Heritier Luvumbu heading in to make it 2-0 on 46 minutes, and Meschack Elia added a third nine minutes later.
It means the Walias of Ethiopia are still looking for their first point in the history of the competition.

In the second Group B game on Sunday, Cameroon held on to beat Angola 1-0, despite having a man sent off midway through the second half.

Despite being a man down, Cameroon held on to secure the win.

Both industrial output and retail sales fell short of expectations for the month of July.
The figures underline China's difficulty of transforming the economy away from factories and exports.
The data come just as economic growth had ever so slightly improved in the second quarter.
Earlier this week though, China's latest trade data had also pointed to a further slowdown.
A spokesman for the National Statistics Bureau said on Friday that the country's economy was still in a period of adjustment and facing downward pressure.
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%.
The IMF also warned China against setting annual growth targets rather than projections, which it claimed fostered "an undesirable focus on short-term, low quality stimulus measures".
In a report, the Fund said it expected China's economic growth to slow towards 5.8% by 2021.
Retail sales were up by 10.2% in July compared with a year earlier - below forecasts and a fall from the 10.6% increase in June.
Industrial output rose by 6% compared with the same period the previous year and was also weaker than analysts had expected.
Infrastructure spending as indicated by fixed asset investment also fell short of forecasts.
The National Bureau of Statistics pointed to flooding and high temperatures as the part of the reason.
Beijing's aim to rebalance the economy towards domestic consumption has lead to major challenges for large manufacturing sectors with layoffs, especially in heavily staffed state-run sectors such as the steel industry.
Even alternative gauges, such as cinema ticket sales, have recently indicated that consumer spending is not picking up as much as China would hope it to.
Fiona May said the decision to uphold the Pescara midfielder's punishment for protesting against racism while taking no action against fans had "sent a bad message".
She added she would strike in protest if she were a player.
"I'm frustrated and shocked," May said.
BBC football pundit Garth Crooks - a trustee of anti-discrimination organisation Kick It Out - has called for Italy's players to go on strike in protest at Muntari's treatment and the the lack of punishment for the fans responsible.
And the British-born former Olympic athlete May, who was hired by the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) in 2014, said: "If it was me, I would do that, if I wasn't part of the Federation, to say 'wait a minute, what's going on here?'
"I would say all players should consider it, to show solidarity," she told the BBC World Service World Football show - though she stressed she was speaking hypothetically.
Muntari was booked for complaining to the referee about abuse he received from some Cagliari fans and received a second yellow card for leaving the pitch without permission.
A Serie A disciplinary committee upheld his punishment but said it could not punish the fans as only "approximately 10" were involved in the racist chants - not enough to trigger action under its own guidelines.
May said the panel was wrong to follow its guidelines so strictly in this case and asked: "You can't put a number on how somebody can abuse a player on the pitch. How can somebody put a number on it?
"They shouldn't have said that. It doesn't matter if it is just was one person or 100 people in a stand, it doesn't matter, they shouldn't be doing racist chants full stop."
She was also critical of referee Daniele Minelli, and said he should have "stopped the game and listened".
May added: "Football is a global sport and I said to the FIGC president 'this is not helping the image of Italian football whatsoever'.
"My mother in England phoned me up and said 'what's going on over there?'"
Bologna and Ghana midfielder Godfred Donsah has said is "100%" willing to go on strike to show solidarity with ex-Portsmouth and Inter Milan man Muntari.
May admitted she did not think many would heed the call to strike but believes the outcry means there will "most definitely be a change".
However, she added: "This shows how racism is more profound than everybody thought, even though we have been doing a lot of educational work. It shows they have got a lot of work still to do."

The yacht of David Romano, 57, and Michael Ashford, 42, both from Jersey, was boarded by the French authorities off Martinique in November.
The SY Hygeia of Halsa was found to contain a quarter of a tonne of cocaine with a street value of some £40m, the National Crime Agency (NCA) said.
Romano received a 10-year jail sentence while Ashford got seven years.
The NCA said the men appeared before a judge at a court in Fort de France, Martinique, on Friday.
The SY Hygeia of Halsa, which had been about to embark on a transatlantic crossing, was intercepted as part of an operation involving the NCA, the Metropolitan Police and the French authorities.
The action was prompted by an NCA and Met Police investigation into a London-based organised crime group believed to be involved in the large-scale importation of drugs.
Hank Cole, the NCA's head of international operations, said: "Had we not intervened, these drugs would have ended up being sold on the streets of London."
Peter Doig's Swamped was one of a number of works sold at Christie's auction house in New York.
Doig, who now lives in Trinidad, broke a personal record with his 1990 painting featuring vivid reds and yellows in a reflection on a lake.
The previous record for a Doig piece had been $18m (£11.5m).
On the same evening, Alberto Giacometti's life-size Pointing Man set the record for most expensive sculpture, fetching $141.3m (£90.7m).
The buyers of Giacometti's piece and Pablo Picasso's Women of Algiers (Version O) have chosen to remain anonymous.
The Picasso set a new world record for the most expensive artwork to be sold at auction after reaching $179m (£115m).
Also at Christie's a painting of the Houses of Parliament at sunset, by Monet at the turn of the 20th Century, sold for $40.5m (£26m).
Doig studied in London during the 1980s and won the Whitechapel Artist award in 1991. Three years later he was nominated for the Turner Prize.
Having returned to Trinidad in 2000, after spending part of his childhood there, he said his paintings had become "more decorative" and "more open".

It's thought to be a Japanese Sika deer that may have swum over from Brownsea Island where there's a resident population.
The Sika is a species of deer native to much of East Asia and was introduced into Britain in 1860. They can be spotted throughout the day but are most often seen when it's dark as they are very shy animals.
Brownsea Island is home to a very large number of Sika Deer and it's the largest of the islands in Poole Harbour which is in the county of Dorset.
It offered to create a joint venture with the firm's nuclear and energy businesses, and sell its profitable rail signalling business to Alstom, but did not increase its $17bn bid.
GE's chief executive, Jeff Immelt, said discussions with the French government had been "productive".
Rival bidder, Siemens, said its offer with Mitsubishi was still "superior".
Alstom, which also makes the high-speed TGV train, is seen as one of France's key industrial firms, therefore the government can block a foreign takeover.
All parties have discussed their offer with the French President Francois Hollande, who is concerned about the break-up of Alstom and the loss of jobs.
Mr Immelt, who is in France to make the case for his company's proposal, said: "The alliance will retain and strengthen France's presence in the energy business and reinforce Alstom Transport.
"It creates jobs, establishes headquarters decision-making in France and ensures that the Alstom name will endure."
The previous offer had been for a straight purchase of Alstom's power business.
Siemens said the fact that GE had changed tack proved that their bid was the better one.
"The counter offer of GE reinforces the credibility of the joint MHI-Siemens concept. It actually follows our approach - but doesn't change the game. Our concept is still superior," said Christophe de Maistre, chief executive of Siemens France.
The joint offer would involve Siemens paying 3.9bn euros (£3.1bn; $5.3bn) for the gas turbine arm, with Mitsubishi buying 10% of Alstom and inject 3.1bn euros into the company.
The board of Alstom has said it will make a decision on the offers by 23 June.
The discovery was made in Shropshire before Christmas when its new owners had it retuned and repaired.
Experts think the valuables might have been "deliberately hidden" in the instrument more than 100 years ago.
An inquest opened at Shrewsbury Coroner's Court earlier to determine whether the find can be classed as treasure, or whether an heir to the cache can be traced.
Peter Reavill, of the British Museum's Portable Antiquities Scheme, described the find as "a stunning assemblage of material".
Investigations so far have revealed the upright piano, made by Broadwood & Sons of London, was sold in 1906 to a music shop in Saffron Walden, Essex.
Its history is then unknown until 1983, when records show it was purchased by a family in the area, who later moved to Shropshire.
The current owners had recently been given the instrument and reported the find to Ludlow Museum Resource Centre.
Mr Reavill said: "The current owners... came to the museum and laid it all out on the table.
"I was like, 'whoa'. I'm an archaeologist and I'm used to dealing with treasure but I'm more used to medieval broaches.
"I have never seen anything like that."
No more details will be revealed about the gold while the search is on to find the potential owners.
Ian Richardson, treasure registrar at the British Museum, said: "The artefacts might be older but they were hidden in the last 100 years.
"Somebody put them in there and either died and didn't tell anyone or something else happened."
The inquest will resume in March.
According to the Treasure Act 1996, treasure is defined as any object which is at least 300 years old when found and:

The Care Inspectorate raised serious concerns about the Craigard home, near Rothesay, on Bute, in September.
The watchdog issued an improvement notice but later said standards of care were still "unacceptable".
It has now had the care home's registration suspended. The order, which was granted at Greenock Sheriff Court, comes into effect on 9 December.
A spokesman for the Care Inspectorate said: "Our most recent inspection identified significant weaknesses in the way people are cared for at this care home which, despite support, have not improved.
"Our assessment is that the home is failing to provide even a satisfactory or safe level of care.
"That is why we sought the urgent closure of Craigard care home, at Greenock Sheriff Court on Monday."
The spokesman said it was "extremely rare" for the inspectorate to take this sort of action.
He added: "The sheriff made an order suspending the care home's registration, to take effect from 9 December. We strongly welcome that.
"This means the home cannot continue to operate after 9 December, which will help keep people safe where they would otherwise have been at significant risk.
"We continue to work closely with colleagues at Argyll and Bute Health and Social Care Partnership to ensure that residents' needs are met and that appropriate plans are in place to ensure continuity of care for all residents of Craigard ahead of 9 December."
Regulators said the sums were greater than had been expected and warned NHS bosses to "get a grip".
One of the key causes seems to be the rising demand for services.
The regulators said hospitals in particular were struggling to keep up - with signs emerging hitting key waiting time targets was getting harder.
The figures have been published in board papers released by Monitor and the Trust Development Agency, which oversee foundation trusts and non-foundation trusts respectively.
Both sectors posted deficits - the first time foundation trusts have done so.
The figures from Monitor showed a deficit of £167m had been run up in the first quarter of 2014-15 - above the £80m forecast. A total of 86 out of 147 trusts were in the red. This time last year they posted a £27m surplus.
The data for the non-foundation trusts, which covers the first four months, showed there had been a £300m deficit, compared with a £224m forecast. Thirty-three out of 98 were in deficit.
The figures covered all types of trusts, including mental health and ambulance services.
Analysis by Adam Brimelow, BBC Health correspondent
Deficits are not just a problem for the accountants. Ultimately they can have a tangible effect on patients. Financial problems often go hand-in-hand with poor performance on waiting times, or low staffing levels which may - in turn - impact on safety and the quality of care.
The most obvious solution for struggling trusts is to improve efficiency - for example by cutting avoidable admissions, ensuring patients are discharged promptly, or reducing their reliance on expensive agency staff.
They may, though, reach a point where they are forced to downgrade or close services. But as Nigel Edwards from the Nuffield Trust points out, under the NHS payments system where money follows the patient, this can mean losing valuable income. Once trusts slip into deficit, climbing out can be a huge challenge.
But the biggest problems were seen in hospital trusts - over two thirds have accrued deficits - and this was also illustrated by the difficulties they were experiencing in meeting their waiting time targets.
The two-month target for cancer patients to get their first treatment after an urgent referral was missed in the first quarter - the second time in a row that this has happened. Although other cancer targets, including the two-week wait to see a specialist after an urgent referral, have been met.
The four-hour A&E waiting time target was met in the first quarter, but performance did deteriorate during several weeks despite the period covering spring and summer which are traditionally easier times for hospitals.
But the 18-week target for routine surgery was missed in June and July - although ministers have signalled to the NHS that standards can slip until the end of the year while they deal with the backlog of long waits.
Monitor chief executive Dr David Bennett said: "Trusts are striving to overcome the challenges they face while still meeting patients' expectations for quality care."
But he said more progress could be made, particularly by "getting a grip" on staffing costs - the use of agency staff is high in many places - as well as identifying other savings.
A Department of Health spokesman pointed out the NHS budget, which stands at over £100bn for the year, had been protected this Parliament.
He added: "We understand some trusts are facing challenges because of increasing demand but they must have a tight financial grip and ensure they live within their means.
"Delivering high-quality services and balancing the books must go hand in hand and we expect trusts to deliver this during the course of the financial year."
Rob Webster, chief executive of the NHS Confederation, which represents trusts, said: "We have been warning for some time that NHS trusts will fall further into deficit as they try to balance rising demand for care against flat funding."
He added that trusts were "working tirelessly" to keep standards up.
Maternity services were previously led by consultant obstetricians.
However, the hospital has no facilities for on-site specialist neonatal paediatric support or adult intensive care.
NHS Highland has said that the majority of births at the hospital can be handled by midwives only.
Pregnancies involving complications are handled at Raigmore Hospital in Inverness.
Internal and external reviews of services at Wick support the need for the planned changes, the health board has said.
Five newborn babies have died at the hospital since 2010. An external review and report suggested that at least two were "potentially avoidable".
CMUs provide care to pregnant women in other parts of NHS Highland's area.
Campaign group Caithness Health Action Team (Chat) has raised concerns about women having to travel 100 miles (160.9km) from Caithness to Inverness to have their babies.
The project at St Athan has been axed as the UK government announced cuts of up to 8% in the defence budget.
First Minister Carwyn Jones said cutting the project was a "betrayal of the people of Wales".
But Prime Minister David Cameron said other options would be discussed, telling MPs: "This is not the end of the road for training at St Athan."
Welsh Secretary Cheryl Gillan said there was still "a good future" for St Athan, however her Labour shadow Peter Hain called the decision "a disgrace".
David Cameron has unveiled details of the first strategic defence and security review in 12 years.
The proposed Defence Technical College (DTC) in St Athan, which would have created more than 2,000 jobs providing training for the armed services, was already more than a year behind schedule.
It would have offered specialist engineering, communications and information systems training to all the UK's armed forces, bringing them together in one location on new premises.
The Prime Minister told MPs: "This is not the end of the road for training at St Athan".
David Cameron said the PFI programme was not affordable but he said some training would continue at St Athan.
He assured Lib Dem MP Roger Williams that discussions would take place to look at alternative options.
Earlier, in a written statement Defence Secretary Liam Fox said: "The Metrix consortium was appointed as preferred bidder in January 2007 subject to it developing an affordable and value-for-money contract proposal.
"Given the significance of this project and the opportunity to provide a world-class training facility, the Ministry of Defence has worked tirelessly to deliver this project.
"However, it is now clear that Metrix cannot deliver an affordable, commercially robust proposal within the prescribed period and it has therefore been necessary to terminate the DTR [defence training rationalisation project] procurement and Metrix's appointment as preferred bidder."
Dr Fox added that technical training focused on as few sites as possible remained the "best solution for our armed forces".
"Equally, St Athan was previously chosen as the best location on which to collocate that training for good reasons, and we still hope to base our future defence training solution there," he said.
"We will however now carry out some work before finalising the best way ahead; including to confirm both our training and estates requirement, and the best way to structure the solution that will meet them.
"To ensure momentum is not lost, work on the alternative options will begin as soon as possible and we hope to be able to announce our future plans in the spring."
Metrix chairman Charles Barrington said: "Metrix, its partners and the MoD have all worked extremely hard and in close partnership to deliver a solution which offers value for money combined with the very best technical approach to training and a rationalised estate.
"Despite the best efforts of all concerned, the combined effect of an extremely tough economic environment and numerous commercial and technical challenges meant that the project could not be delivered within the framework and timescale originally intended."
A recent Freedom of Information request to the assembly government showed it had spent more than £5m on external services and advisers on the St Athan scheme between 2007 and 2010.
The £14bn cost covers the operation of the academy's 30-year life.
Welsh Secretary Cheryl Gillan said the Ministry of Defence had made it clear Metrix was unable to deliver an "affordable, commercially robust proposal" within the required time period.
However, she said it was hoped that future defence training would be based at St Athan.
"The MoD is reviewing its training and estates requirement and has confirmed it still hopes to locate the training facility at St Athan," she said.
"In the meantime, I will be working with the Secretary of State for Defence and continuing to press the case for St Athan."
Shadow Welsh Secretary Peter Hain said it was "a disgrace that the government is binning a world-beating training facility for our armed forces".
Plaid Cymru's Westminster leader and defence spokesperson, Elfyn Llwyd MP, said Wales was once more "losing out on substantial public investment and on promises made that never materialise".
"Wales is yet again first in line for cuts. This is hardly a fairness agenda that we're seeing in action and does not bode well for tomorrow's Comprehensive Spending Review," he said.
First Minister Carwyn Jones, answering questions in the assembly from Welsh Liberal Democrat leader Kirsty Williams, commented: "What is expensive is the seven years of work that we have put in here to working with the UK Government to the delivery of the defence training academy.
"It has been ripped out from underneath our feet - 4,000 jobs will be lost to Wales as a result of a decision by your government.
"That is what I regard as a betrayal of the people of Wales."
Conservative South Wales Central AM, Andrew RT Davies, spoke of his "bitter disappointment" at the announcement, but he added that it was "some relief" that St Athan appeared to be the preferred destination in the long term.
Conservative Vale of Glamorgan MP Alun Cairns said Welsh Conservatives were "delighted" that St Athan remained the UK government's preferred location for military training.
"We are disappointed that Metrix and the MoD were unable to reach a robust agreement which proved to be good value for money for taxpayers," he said.
"It is unfortunate that the project was delayed considerably by the previous Labour government resulting in it being caught up in current financial pressures."
Vale of Glamorgan AM, Labour's Jane Hutt, said: "The jobs, opportunities and long-term skills the DTC would have provided for my constituents have been wiped out in one fell swoop today."
Kirsty Williams said it had been clear for some time that any college delivered at St Athan might have to be delivered at a reduced costs to the tax payer than originally envisaged.
She said: "I am encouraged that the government still hopes to base our future defence training solution at St Athan."
Kepler 11145123 is a distant, slowly rotating star that's more than twice the size of the Sun.
Researchers were able to show that the difference between its radius as measured to the equator and the radius measured to the poles was just 3km.
"This makes Kepler 11145123 the roundest natural object ever measured," said lead author Prof Laurent Gizon.
He added that it was "even more round than the Sun".
Prof Gizon, from the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research (MPS), and his colleagues used a technique called asteroseismology - the study of how stars pulsate, or oscillate.
Nasa's Kepler space telescope observed the star's oscillations continuously for more than four years.
The periodic expansions and contractions of Kepler 11145123 can be gleaned from fluctuations in its brightness. And from these data, astronomers were able to extract information about its shape.
Using the method, Prof Gizon and his colleagues discovered that the star rotated faster at the surface than in the core, contributing to an unexpected rounding of its form.
The difference of 3km, between the polar and equatorial radii, is tiny compared to the star's mean radius of 1.5 million km.
The authors say that this distortion is probably caused by factors other than rotation alone. They suggest that a weak magnetic field surrounds the star, making the star appear even more rounded.
The research is published in the journal Science Advances.

The Australian has played only one practice round at Baltusrol after spending Tuesday night in hospital with his wife, who had an allergic reaction.
Day, 28, could lose his number one spot if he finishes 29th or worse and Dustin Johnson is in the top two.
"I'm just a little bit under the weather," said Day, who has topped the world rankings since March.
"I've got to really try and manage my patience out there, because I have very little patience right now. For some reason, every time I get a little bit under the weather, I've got zero patience."
Day's victory at Whistling Straits last year was his first in a major.
He has since finished tied 10th in the Masters, tied ninth in the US Open and tied 22nd at The Open in a season disrupted by illness and injury.
"It's very, very difficult to win golf tournaments," he said.
"I think everyone expects if you're in the lead, or if you're a favourite to win, you will win, and if you don't, then you're in a slump. It's not the case."
Day will tee off at 13:30 BST on Thursday alongside Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy and the United States' Phil Mickelson.
Natural Resources Wales (NRW) is investigating the incident after receiving reports of pollution of the tributary near Llanpumsaint.
About 200 trout, 40 lamprey and hundreds of bullheads have been killed.
NRW said officers identified the pollution as slurry from a nearby farm and have stopped any further pollution.
Kimberley Redman, natural resource management team leader for NRW, said the pollution has had a "significant impact" on fish in the river.
She added: "Following quick action from our officers to identify the source and stop the pollution, it's unlikely that we'll see further impact."
Derek Brockwell, aged 53 and from Glasgow, escaped from police custody at Tallaght Hospital in Dublin on Tuesday.
He was arrested at a bar on Bedford Street in Belfast on Wednesday night.
Police said a Taser was used when he stabbed himself in the stomach with a knife when officers approached.
Cliff McElhinney, who works in Urban Pharmacy on Dublin Road in Belfast city centre, told Irish state broadcaster RTÉ that Brockwell had threatened staff with a knife and demanded money.
"He came up to the counter with a purchase and whilst the pharmacist was ringing that through the till, he produced a knife," he said.
"He held another member of staff at knifepoint and robbed the pharmacy then.
"Whilst it was happening staff followed procedure, they were calm and did everything they were supposed to do, but obviously being held at knifepoint is a frightening experience and not something you expect to happen in the centre of Belfast."
He said Brockwell did not get away with a significant amount of money.
Brockwell was later arrested on suspicion of two counts of robbery and two counts of possessing an offensive weapon.
He was found by police about 200 yards away from the pharmacy at about 19:30 GMT, sitting outside the Bridge House bar on Bedford Street.
Police said when officers approached him, Brockwell took out a knife and began stabbing himself in the abdomen and police had to use a Taser on him.
He remains under PSNI (Police Service of Northern Ireland) custody at the Royal Victoria Hospital where he is receiving treatment for his injuries.
At a press conference, Supt Paula Hillman said officers would be questioning Brockwell about the incidents once he leaves hospital.
She also said police are continuing to liaise with police in Dublin and Lancashire police.
Brockwell arrived in Dublin in February 2012 after absconding from a prison in Lancashire while he was on day release.
He was serving a life sentence for a series of armed robberies in London.
He was convicted of armed robbery in Dublin in 2013 and was serving a seven-year sentence in Portlaoise Prison. He escaped from Tallaght Hospital on Tuesday after attacking two officers who had brought him there for treatment.
Many have taken to social media to share their shock and offer condolences, and the hashtag #TehranAttacks has been trending on Twitter.
For Iranians under 30, who make up more than half of the population, it was a huge shock to see a suicide bomber and gunmen attack two of the most important buildings in Tehran - the parliament building and the mausoleum of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the founder of the Islamic Republic.
But for their parents' generation this will all seem very familiar.
In the first decade after the 1979 revolution, Tehran experienced frequent gun attacks, bombings and hijackings as groups opposed to Iran's new religious rulers waged a bloody campaign of violence with the aim of overthrowing them.
Thousands were killed, and many suffered life-changing injuries - including the current Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, who lost the use of his right arm following a bomb attack in 1981.
By the 1990s the violence had subsided - partly as a result of a crackdown on dissent and thousands of executions - but a major legacy of those times is a culture of very strict security in public buildings and airports enforced by the Revolutionary Guards across the country.
While there have been sporadic attacks by armed groups from Iran's restive Kurdish and Sunni minorities in remote parts of the country, Tehran and most other big cities have seen no major incidents for years.
Most Iranians have therefore become accustomed to relative peace and quiet, and to being insulated from the violence plaguing neighbouring countries.
But Wednesday's attacks, which have been claimed by the Sunni jihadist group Islamic State (IS), challenged those assumptions.
Many in Iran are asking how armed men managed to penetrate the several layers of security around the parliament complex, which is on a major road running through central Tehran.
It seems that the militants, some of whom dressed in the all-enveloping chadors worn by women, made it as far as the metal detectors at the entrance to the parliament building then opened fire at guards and other visitors before storming into the building and targeting people at random.
It is likely that, behind the scenes, the Revolutionary Guards responsible for the security of the building will now be reviewing procedures and asking if more could have been done to prevent what seems to have been a significant security failure.
But publicly, the authorities will seek to reassure people by playing down the attacks.
Ayatollah Khamenei dismissed the attackers as "terrorists fumbling with fire-crackers".
Coverage of the attacks on state television was relatively low-key and stressed how quickly the security forces dealt with the attackers.
Security was not noticeably tightened on the streets of Tehran on Thursday and the message from the country's leaders was that it was very much business as usual.
The challenge for the leaders domestically will be to stop more people questioning Iran's military involvement in the conflicts in Iraq and Syria.
Iranians have been repeatedly told that the mounting losses their country is suffering abroad are a sacrifice worth making in order to prevent attacks at home.
After Wednesday, for some people the assertion may no longer ring quite so true.
But supporters of the campaigns in Syria and Iraq have also been taking to social media to say the Tehran attacks show why they are necessary.
And some observers point out that the violence on the streets of Tehran could actually be used to justify stepping up the campaigns.
Revolutionary Guards commanders issued a strongly-worded statement promising to "avenge every drop of innocent blood spilt" in the attacks and noting that they happened soon after a meeting between US President Donald Trump and Saudi Arabia's "backward leaders who support terrorists".
But is there a chance they could go beyond the rhetoric? Most observers believe it is unlikely that they would do anything to further escalate tensions with the Saudis.
President Hassan Rouhani, a moderate, also issued a message of defiance, saying the attacks would make Iranians more united in their determination to fight what he called "regional terrorism, extremism and violence".
But his opponents have sought to gain political advantage from the incident.
Supporters of Ebrahim Raisi, a hardline cleric who came second in last month's presidential election, said it was a consequence of Mr Rouhani weakening the country in his attempts to pursue better relations with the US and its Saudi allies.
Investigations into the attacks are continuing, and with several suspects now under arrest it is likely that more information will emerge in the coming days and weeks.
The authorities have already said the attackers were all Iranian citizens.
That could well lead to a crackdown on the country's Sunni minority communities, including the Baluchis, Kurds and Arabs.
Meanwhile in Tehran, as the funerals of the victims take place, the city's residents are thinking about security in a way they have not done for a long time.
In the largest study of its kind to date, researchers looked at the effects of temperature on over 2,000 species.
They report in the journal Science that species experiencing the greatest warming have moved furthest.
The results helped to "cement" the link between climate change and shifts in species' global ranges, said the team.
Scientists have consistently told us that as the climate warms we should expect animals to head polewards in search of cooler temperatures.
Animals like the British comma butterfly, for example, has moved 220km northward from central England to southern Scotland in the last two decades.
There is also evidence that more species seem to be moving up mountains than down, explained conservation biologist Chris Thomas from the University of York, UK, who led the study.
But studies had stopped short of showing that rising temperatures are responsible for these shifts in range, he added.
Now he and his team have made this link.
Analysing the range shifts of more than 2,000 species - ranging from butterflies to birds, algae to mammals - across Europe, North and South America and Malaysia over the last four decades, they show that organisms that experience the greatest change in temperatures move the fastest.
The team found that on average organisms are shifting their home ranges at a rate of 17km per decade away from the equator; three times the speed previously thought.
Organisms also moved uphill by about 1m a year.
"Seeing that species are able to keep up with the warming is a very positive finding," said biologist Terry Root from Stanford University in California, US.
She added that it seemed that species were able to seek out cooler habitats as long as there was not an obstacle in their way, like a highway.
But what about the animals that already live at the poles, or at the top of mountains?
"They die," said Dr Thomas. Take the polar bear, it does most of its hunting off the ice, and that ice is melting - this July was the lowest ever recorded Arctic ice cover - it has nowhere to go.
However, the loss of this one bear species, although eminently emblematic, seems insignificant when compared to the number of species that are threatened at the top of tropical mountains.
On Mount Kinabalu in Borneo, Dr Thomas' graduate student, I-Ching Chen, has been following the movement of Geometrid moths uphill as temperatures increase. Their natural ranges have shifted by 59m in 42 years.
These moths "don't have options; they are being forced up, and at some point they will run out of land," reflected Dr Thomas.
The British scientist said that it was really too early to start generalising about the characteristics of the species that had shifted their distribution to stay within their optimal temperature range.
"But we know that the species which have expanded the most and fastest are the species that are not particularly fussy about where they live," he told BBC News.

Metal detectorists found the pieces at three different sites in 2014 and 2015.
A coroner in Downpatrick, County Down, made the ruling on Thursday.
Dyfed-Powys Police said the call was made by a man in the Ceredigion area on Tuesday morning.
The force stressed the number is for emergencies only and warned misuse could block genuine calls.
"Before dialling 999, ask yourself if what you are ringing for is a life and death situation," a spokeswoman added.
Bill Evans, 91, has been invited to the Buckingham Palace garden party to celebrate Her Majesty's 90th birthday.
The ex-Royal Welsh Fusilier, a resident of Gwern Alyn Care Home in Wrexham, has asked his favourite senior care practitioner Mandy Williams to join him on 26 May.
Mr Evans said: "We are going to have a great day in London."
Born in Kerry, Powys, Mr Evans joined the Army in 1943 and saw action in France, Belgium, Holland and Germany.
Having helped to liberate Brussels, his regiment went back after the war for a parade and were given the freedom of the city.
After the war and his military service ended, he returned to mid Wales before working on a farm at Eardiston, Shropshire.
The father-of-two said: "I hope to meet the Queen but it doesn't matter, we will still have a lovely day even if we don't.
"And you never know, I might just meet up with someone I served with during the war; wouldn't that be something after all these long years?"
Ms Williams added: "It's going to be a fantastic experience for us both. It's all about Bill and what he did during the war."
Confirming she would form a minority government at Holyrood, she said her aim was to "persuade, not to divide".
Despite Labour coming third in Scotland, Jeremy Corbyn insisted the party had "hung on" and done better than expected in Wales and England.
Sadiq Khan leads the London Mayoral election as counting continues.
With all the results declared in Scotland, the SNP is the largest party with 63 seats, ahead of the Conservatives on 31 and Labour on 24.
Labour remains the dominant party in Wales, winning 29 out of 60 seats, but falling just short of a majority. Plaid Cymru pipped the Tories to be the second largest party in the Welsh Assembly while UKIP won seven seats on a good night for the party.
Counting continues across English councils but the BBC is forecasting that, on the basis of the results so far, Labour would have got a 31% projected share of the national vote, with the Conservatives on 30%, the Lib Dems on 15% and UKIP on 12%.
A remote camera trap in an Aberdeenshire nature reserve has recorded what looks like an animals' game of I'm The King of the Castle on a moss-covered rock.
Wild birds, deer and a rabbit have been photographed standing atop a boulder in woodland at Muir of Dinnet.
The images were taken over the course of a few days earlier this month.
The national nature reserve near Aboyne protects a landscape shaped by retreating glaciers at the end of the last Ice Age around 15,000 years ago.
It is managed by Scottish Natural Heritage.
The young girls from Orkney won the Loganair contest for each of the Britten Norman Islander aircraft used on the inter-isles service.
One leg is the 1.7 mile jump between Westray and Papa Westray.
Danni Muir, 11, and Erynn Stevenson, 14, were the winners.
Erynn, from Stronsay Junior High, was selected for her pastel artwork of a sunset.
Danni, from Dounby Community School, took first prize for the primary school age category, creating an illustration of an Orcadian skyline which includes two puffins.
Both won a pair of return tickets to any destination in Loganair's Scottish network.
Jonathan Hinkles, Loganair's managing director, said: "Firstly let me extend my congratulations to our two winning artists - it's a marvellous achievement to stave off competition from more than 500 other entries.
"Your designs will be seen in the skies above Orkney, which really is a prize money can't buy.
"The quality of the artworks we received was extremely impressive and it was pretty difficult to narrow down a short-list, never mind select an overall winner."
The shortest leg should take two minutes, but can be done in 47 seconds if the wind helps.
The inter-island air service in Orkney recently welcomed its one millionth passenger.
It posted a net income of $3.4bn (£2.3bn) for the first quarter, compared to a loss a year ago, when it was hit by litigation costs.
A 55% increase in mortgage loans and a rise in profit at its global banking division helped drive the increase.
Chief executive Brian Moynihan said the bank saw "continued encouraging signs in customer and client activity".
"This should bode well for the near-term economic outlook," he added.
However, some of the bank's divisions saw revenues fall, with income from its loan portfolio lower than the same period last year due to low interest rates.
Profits at its consumer bank, its biggest division, were flat which the bank blamed on lower returns from credit cards.
The grave was found close to the town of Sinjar after it was recaptured from the so-called Islamic State (IS) group earlier in November.
IS captured Sinjar in August 2014, with reports of massacres and enslavement and rape of Yazidi women and girls.
This is said to be the sixth mass grave found in or near the town.
The grave is located some 10km (six miles) west of Sinjar, in Nineveh province, senior official Mahma Khalil told AFP news agency.
It was surrounded by bombs and has not yet been excavated. The estimate of the number of bodies inside comes from witnesses to the victims' executions.
Sinjar's mayor, Mahma Khalil, told the BBC this was the biggest of the mass graves found so far, though he expected further discoveries to be made.
He appealed to international organisations for help in compiling evidence for the International Criminal Court, of what he called IS's genocide of the Yazidis, who made up a majority of the population in the town.
Less than two weeks ago a grave was found which was thought to contain the bodies of about 80 women. Aged between about 40 and 80, they were deemed too old to enslave and rape, one official speculated.
Yazidis practise a form of religion which combines elements of Zoroastrianism and ancient Mesopotamian religions and are considered heretics by IS.
The UN has cited the Yazidis' treatment by IS as evidence that IS may have committed genocide and war crimes in Iraq.
Every day more than 6,000 patients well enough to leave hospital are unable to do so because there is nowhere suitable for them to be discharged to.
NHS England said this figure had now stopped rising but showed the importance of "joined-up" care.
It also missed waiting-time targets for planned operations, accident and emergency units and ambulance callouts.
An NHS England spokesman said: "It's important patients who are well enough to leave hospital can do so at the earliest opportunity, and in some parts of the country the system is working well.
"These figures underline the importance of joined-up care within the NHS and the dependence of hospitals on well-functioning social care services - particularly for older people living at home."
A waiting time target for mental health, introduced in April, requires that most people experiencing their first psychotic episode are treated with a National Institute for Clinical Excellence recommended package of care within two weeks of referral.
And the latest figures show that just over 73% started treatment within two weeks in June.
But, as BBC News has reported, Freedom of Information requests showed nearly a quarter of local commissioning groups in England offered the package only to patients aged 35 or under rather up to the age of 65 as required by the target.
Hospitals in England handled more than 1.9 million A&E attendances in June, a 2.1% increase on the same month last year, and more than 480,000 emergency admissions, a 4.7% rise.
NHS England director of operations and information Matthew Swindells said: "Our front-line services continue to come under intense pressure, but June saw another improvement in performance.
"We continue to admit, treat or discharge more than nine out of 10 emergency patients within the four-hour target time.
"Thanks to tremendous efforts by the NHS and social care, the number of delayed transfers of care stopped increasing in June, although there were still a significant number of patients waiting for discharge from hospital."
Stephen Dalton, chief executive of the NHS Confederation, which represents most NHS Trusts, said their staff on the front line were working "flat out" and "deserve recognition for the dedication they display day in day out".
"But unless we break the cycle, performance results will continue to follow this downward trend," he said.
"The recent and important relaxation of some targets, and of the penalties for missing them, will give many hospitals much needed opportunity.
"We now need the government to incentivise greater coordination between local authorities and the NHS and to invest more in out-of-hospital health and care."
The figures come as United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust said it was considering closing the A&E department of Grantham and District Hospital due to a severe shortage of doctors.
It said closing the Grantham A&E rather than the departments at Lincoln County Hospital or Pilgrim Hospital in Boston was the "safest option".
In April Chorley Hospital closed its A&E department temporarily, because it could not "recruit enough staff to provide a safe service".
In January NHS England showed 88.7% of A&E patients had been dealt with in four hours, the worst monthly performance since the target was introduced in 2004.
Conor Chaplin headed wide at the back post before Evans opened the scoring, nodding in Kyle Bennett's cross.
Rovers equalised shortly after half-time when Jermaine Easter's close-range shot hit the bar and deflected in off Pompey goalkeeper Aaron McCarey.
Stockley prodded home from close range to win it for Pompey.
The result also ensures that Paul Cook's side remain unbeaten in the league this season, while Rovers are 17th in the table.
Portsmouth manager Paul Cook told BBC Radio Solent:

"I just thought we were excellent today, I thought it was a really good game of football. I have said for a while now about the balance of the team, you know the modern day game especially being Portsmouth manager you judge form game to game.
"Good passing, good movement, great ball in the box and you get goals.
"Adam (McGurk) did his ankle in the warm up so that was disappointing so we had to make a few changes today but that's part of the game. We are just happy that the squad is working together."
When World War One broke out, Donald Simpson Bell was playing football for Bradford Park Avenue.
He left the club to fight, saying he was "duty-bound to join the ranks."
The team, featuring players from the Yorkshire Regiment and Bradford Park Avenue, beat French side Albert 3-2 on Saturday afternoon.
The Harrogate-born footballer was awarded the VC for his part in knocking out a machine-gun post on the fifth day of the Battle of the Somme.
In a tweet, Bradford Park Avenue player Ryan Sewell said he would remember the trip and the people he met for a very long time.
The game followed a number of other events including a service at Bell's Redoubt, with a laying of wreaths at the Contalmaison war memorial.

I have been to the Somme many times, but never experienced such emotion as I did this weekend.
The celebrations involved 28 members of the Bell family. They came from New Zealand, South Africa, Canada as well as the UK.
The Yorkshire Regiment, the Green Howards Association and representatives of his football club, Bradford Park Avenue, made the weekend even more poignant.
The last post drew tears and when his former school, Harrogate Grammar, led by its head and two pupils, laid their wreath, some found it overwhelming.
Donald Bell's sacrifice is preserved now in a formal memorial called Bell's Redoubt a few yards from the village on the Somme in the exact spot he lost his life.
We will remember him, and the hundreds and thousands who lost their lives on the Somme.
Speaking about Bell, who was chosen to lead dangerous bombing missions on German defences, officials from the Yorkshire Regiment said he was a "superb footballer and athlete", chosen for his athleticism and leadership.
He was described by one of his comrades as having the "courage of a lion" - a man who found ways of making life easier for his comrades.
On 10 July 1916, Second Lieutenant Bell, 25, was killed making a similar attempt on another gun placement at Contalmaison.
His comrade wrote: "His death was greatly deplored, though grief was qualified by pride in the fact that he had met the death he would have wished."
You can see more from the events in France on Inside Out Yorkshire and Lincolnshire on BBC One at 19:30 BST on Monday.
The baby was delivered at 16:24 BST at St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, west London, weighing 8lb 6oz.
The Duke of Cambridge said in a statement the couple "could not be happier". He and the duchess will remain in the hospital overnight.
The news has been displayed on an easel in the forecourt of Buckingham Palace in line with tradition.
A bulletin - signed by the Queen's gynaecologist Marcus Setchell, who led the medical team that delivered the baby - was taken by a royal aide from St Mary's to the palace under police escort.
The document said: "Her Royal Highness, the Duchess of Cambridge was safely delivered of a son at 4.24pm today.
"Her Royal Highness and her child are both doing well."
When the news was announced, a large cheer went up from well-wishers and journalists outside the hospital while a large crowd greeted the posting of the bulletin outside Buckingham Palace.
The Kensington Palace press release said the Duke of Cambridge was present for the birth of his son, who will be known as the Prince of Cambridge and who is third in line to the throne.

"The Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh, The Prince of Wales, The Duchess of Cornwall, Prince Harry and members of both families have been informed and are delighted with the news," it said.
A Kensington Palace spokesman said the names of the baby - who was delivered in the private Lindo Wing of St Mary's - would be announced in due course.
The Prince of Wales, in a separate statement, said he and the Duchess of Cornwall were "overjoyed at the arrival of my first grandchild.
"It is an incredibly special moment for William and Catherine and we are so thrilled for them on the birth of their baby boy," he added.
"Grandparenthood is a unique moment in anyone's life, as countless kind people have told me in recent months, so I am enormously proud and happy to be a grandfather for the first time and we are eagerly looking forward to seeing the baby in the near future."
BBC royal correspondent Peter Hunt said the duke and duchess spent time bonding with their son before they told the family their news.
Royal doctor Mr Setchell described the new arrival as "wonderful baby, beautiful baby", our correspondent added.
Prime Minister David Cameron, speaking outside Downing Street, hailed the "wonderful news".
"It is an important moment in the life of our nation but I suppose, above all, it's a wonderful moment for a warm and loving couple who've got a brand new baby boy," he added.
He said the Royal Family could "know that a proud nation is celebrating with a very proud and happy couple tonight".
Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond said: "I am sure that people across Scotland will be absolutely thrilled to hear the news of the birth of a baby boy to the Royal couple and will want to join me in wishing the proud parents many congratulations."
And Welsh First Minister Carwyn Jones congratulated the couple "on behalf of the people of Wales" as "they enter their journey into parenthood".
The Archbishop of Canterbury, meanwhile, said he was "delighted to congratulate the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on the arrival of their baby boy".
"Along with millions here and around the world, I share in their joy at this special time," he added.
"May God bless this family with love, health and happiness in their shared life ahead."
Catherine and Prince William had arrived at the hospital at 06:00 BST ahead of a Kensington Palace announcement that she was in the early stages of labour.
The world's media had been camped outside St Mary's for days in anticipation of the birth. | Millions of people in Britain should protest outside the Russian embassy over the bombing campaign in Syria, a senior Welsh Labour MP has said.

The 21-year-old centre-back has attracted interest from Oxford United, but on Saturday opted against joining the League One club.
Thistle boss Alan Archibald told BBC Scotland that Lindsay is eager to advance his career.
"Liam trained this morning and he'll probably go down and speak to Barnsley in the coming days," Archibald said.
"I spoke to Liam this morning just about overall interest from a few teams. At that time there wasn't a fee agreed so it was a different conversation, but he's an honest, great lad who just wants to do the best he can in his career. It's about him progressing."
Lindsay, who scored seven goals in 42 Thistle appearances last season, has spoken of his frustration at having never represented Scotland at any age group level.
But Archibald is hopeful he could catch the eye of Scotland manager Gordon Strachan if he continues to develop as a player.
"He is getting better all the time," Archibald added. "It's a position we are struggling for as a nation at this time but he has got to do it consistently and continually at the highest level he can and if he moves hopefully that will help him as well.
"But his time will come. Gordon has got one of the hardest jobs in football - I'm not going to tell him how to do his job.

Guide: Is homework a good idea or not?
That means lessons, assembly, seeing your friends and - for a lot of you - time to do homework again!
While giving homework to pupils in secondary schools is generally seen as a good idea, some don't think that kids in primary schools should have to do it.
For the last 100 years or so, experts have been trying to work out if it is beneficial to give homework to kids in primary schools.
In the UK, the government says it's up to the head teacher to decide whether or not their school will set extra work like this.
Find out more about both sides of the argument with Newsround's guide, and then let us know what you think of doing homework when you're in primary school.
Homework: A timeline
Homework generally means work that is set by teachers for you to do outside of your normal school hours.
When you're younger, your parents might help you to do it.
But as you get older, you will generally take more responsibility for doing your homework on your own.
Professor Sue Hallam from the Institute of Education - who is one of the most experienced researchers into homework in the UK - says that in 1997, just over 6 in every 10 primary schools made their pupils do homework.
Just two years later, this had risen to around nine in ten primary schools and the majority still set homework now.
Many think that giving homework to primary school children is an important part of their learning.
They believe it helps them to practice what that they have learnt in lessons, in order to get better at things like spelling and handwriting.
They say it helps to teach children how to work on their own and be disciplined with themselves - both skills that are useful later in life.
It can also allow parents or guardians to get involved in their children's learning.
To find out more about why people think homework is a good idea, Jenny spoke to Chris from the campaign for Real Education, which is a group of teachers and parents who care about how well schools are doing.
Members of the organisation believe that traditional homework is important.
Chris told Newsround: "If you like learning, homework helps to support your learning. It's really important to go back afterwards and think about what you're learning in class. Practice makes perfect."
"In parts of the world, children are doing much better in school than children in the UK. In most cases, they are doing much more homework.
"That doesn't mean you should be doing home work all the time.
"But a little bit of homework to support what you're doing in the classroom, involving your parents and guardians, is really good because it allows you to do as well as everybody else in the world."
Chris added that it is important to have a balance between homework and other activities.
"Homework shouldn't be overdone. Let's do some homework and some play."
Some people think that giving homework to children at primary school is not necessary.
They think it puts too much pressure on them and that the time spent doing homework could be used to do other activities.
Jenny also spoke to Nansi Ellis - assistant general secretary of one of the biggest teacher's unions in England, made up of teachers and heads - who doesn't believe that giving homework to primary school children is needed.
She told Newsround: "There is other good stuff you can do at home, like reading, playing sport or a musical instrument, or helping with the cooking, shopping or with your siblings. You might be a Guide or a Scout.
"Those things are really helpful for you to learn to work in a team, to learn to be creative, to ask questions and to help other people. These are really important skills.
"The trouble with homework is that it gets in the way of all of those good things that you could be doing and it doesn't necessarily help you with your school work."
Sometimes parents or guardians try to help with homework and, if they have been taught differently, it can end up being confusing for the child doing the homework. They can also end up doing too much of the work themselves!
Nansi added: "Some children live in really busy houses with lots of people coming and going, and they don't have a quiet space to do homework, so they can't use it to help them to get better at studying on their own, which doesn't seem fair.
"Teachers set homework for you to get better at your learning - that seems like a really good reason. But actually, the evidence isn't clear that even that's true."
Another expert Rosamund McNeil, from a teachers' organisation called the NUT, said: "Pupils in Finland are assigned very little homework yet they remain one of the most educationally successful countries in the world."
People have been trying to find out if homework is a good thing or a bad thing for many years.
Recently, a report was done by an organisation called the Teaching Schools Council, which works with the government and schools in England.
It says: "Homework [in primary schools] should have a clear purpose."
The report explains that if there isn't a clear reason for the homework and the pupils won't necessarily gain something from doing it, then it should not be set.
Dame Reena Keeble, an ex-primary school head teacher who led the report, told Newsround: "What we are saying in our report is that if schools are setting homework for you, they need to explain to you - and your mums and dads - why they're setting it, and your teachers need to let you know how you've done in your homework.
"We found homework can really help with your learning, as long as your school makes sure that what you're doing for your homework is making a difference."
Many people have different opinions. However, the truth is it's hard to know.
Professor Hallam explains that part of the problem is that it is difficult to accurately work out how useful homework is.
Generally, people agree that homework is good idea for children in secondary school.
But for primary school, it isn't clear if there's a right or wrong answer to this question.
Nearly 900 of you took part in an online vote about the amount of homework you get: whether it is not enough, just right or too much.
It's just a quick snapshot of what some of you think. Here's the results:
The Rhinos led 14-4 at half-time thanks to tries from Adam Cuthbertson and Matt Parcell, Brayden Wiliame replying.
It was one-way traffic after the break as Jimmy Keinhorst, Cuthbertson, Rob Burrow, Danny McGuire and Liam Sutcliffe crossed for the hosts.
Julian Bousquet's score was scant consolation for Catalans.
Such a loss to local rivals Castleford in their last game prompted a letter to supporters from chief executive Gary Hetherington this week, stating that the possibility of a coaching change could not be ruled out.
This performance and result was a perfect boost to coach Brian McDermott and his players, who had lost their previous three against the Perpignan club.
Parcell's weaving runs from dummy-half caused the Dragons countless problems, and not even the sin-binnings of Cuthbertson and Keinhorst could stem their attacking flow.
Catalans had only conceded 40 points in their previous three games and had their otherwise decent defensive record blown away as well as seeing winger Jodie Broughton go off injured on a disappointing night in West Yorkshire.
Leeds Rhinos head coach Brian McDermott told BBC Radio Leeds: "I believe we can win the Grand Final. I believed it last week but after that performance I wasn't going to tell anyone. But we can win the Grand Final. Sometimes you've got to be kicked in your nuts to find out the best of you.
"We handled a really difficult night extremely well. We were up against it, down to 11 men at one stage but showed a real commitment to each other.
"Our game away at Leigh by our own doing meant we had to go to a difference resource and we did that tonight. Regardless of last week it was good, I've been the biggest critic of the offence this year and tonight it started to click. We don't go by the repetitive attack that you see in some teams which gets success but bores you to tears to watch.
"Our philosophy to attack is a bit more free, for want of a better phrase. Sometimes it goes wrong but you've got to get used to it and have some correction, but tonight it was a example of how it works, how it's a decent system."
Catalans Dragons head coach Laurent Frayssinous: "I'm disappointed with the result and the attitude.
"The result was an outcome of the attitude. Leeds wanted it more in every department. There were signs defensively in the first half that we weren't ready for a big battle."
Leeds Rhinos: Golding; Briscoe, Watkins, Moon, Hall; McGuire, Sutcliffe; Singleton, Parcell, Cuthbertson, Keinhorst, Ablett, Baldwinson.
Replacements: Mullally, Burrow, Delaney, Walters.
Catalans Dragons: Bosc; Broughton, Duport, Wiliame, Thornley; Walsh, Myler; Burgess, Aiton, Casty, Horo, Garcia, Bird.
Replacements: Anderson, Bousquet, Baitieri, Da Costa.
Referee: James Child (RFL).
While robots and unmanned systems have been used by the military before, this is the first time the police within the US have used such a technique with lethal intent
"Other options would have exposed our officers to greater danger," the Dallas police chief said.
Robots are spreading fast. What might that mean?
Remote killing is not new in warfare. Technology has always been driven by military application, including allowing killing to be carried out at distance - prior examples might be the introduction of the longbow by the English at Crecy in 1346, then later the Nazi V1 and V2 rockets.
More recently, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones such as the Predator and the Reaper have been used by the US outside of traditional military battlefields.
Since 2009, the official US estimate is that about 2,500 "combatants" have been killed in 473 strikes, along with perhaps more than 100 non-combatants. Critics dispute those figures as being too low.
Back in 2008, I visited the Creech Air Force Base in the Nevada desert, where drones are flown from.
During our visit, the British pilots from the RAF deployed their weapons for the first time.
One of the pilots visibly bristled when I asked him if it ever felt like playing a video game - a question that many ask.
Supporters of drones argue that they are more effective than manned planes because they can usually loiter longer and ensure they strike the right target.
And, of course, there is the understandable desire to reduce risks to pilots, just as in Dallas the police officers could stay protected.
But critics argue that the lack of risk fundamentally changes the nature of operations since it lowers the threshold for lethal force to be used.
Robots have also been deployed on the ground militarily.
South Korea pioneered using robots to guard the demilitarised zone with North Korea. These are equipped with heat and motion detectors as well as weapons.
The advantage, proponents say, is that the robots do not get tired or fall asleep, unlike human sentries.
When the Korean robot senses a potential threat, it notifies a command centre
Crucially though, it still requires a decision by a human to fire.
And this gets back to the crucial point about the Dallas robot. It was still under human control.
The real challenge for the future is not so much the remote-controlled nature of weapons but automation - two concepts often wrongly conflated.
Truly autonomous robotic systems would involve no person taking the decision to shoot a weapon or detonate an explosive.
The next step for the Korean robots may be to teach them to tell friend from foe and then fire themselves.
Futurologists imagine swarms of target-seeking nano-bots being unleashed pre-programmed with laws of warfare and rules of engagement.
There are still questions both about how such machines could be programmed to deal with complex situations and the ethical dilemmas involved when you have to choose whether or not to shoot or make calculations over potential civilian casualties.
There's a parallel here with the challenge about what self-driving cars should do when faced with crashing into a group of children or harming their passengers.
The fears over automation are not new.
One of the earliest use of computers was during the Cold War to automate as far as possible the response to a Soviet nuclear attack.
A system called Semi-Automatic Ground Environment (Sage) was designed using networked computers to help spot incoming Soviet planes.
Soon, missiles were also connected up to the systems to shoot the planes down.
One air force captain queried the fact that computers controlled the launch of such missiles and asked if that was dangerous.
Could someone get inside such a computer system and subvert it to send the missiles back into US cities rather than at Soviet bombers?
That question, over whether automated and remote systems could be subverted, led to some of the earliest work on what we now call cybersecurity.
And there are still risks to remote-controlled as well as fully automated systems.
The military uses encrypted channels to control its ordnance disposal robots, but - as any hacker will tell you - there is almost always a flaw somewhere that a determined opponent can find and exploit.
We have already seen cars being taken control of remotely while people are driving them, and the nightmare of the future might be someone taking control of a robot and sending a weapon in the wrong direction.
The military is at the cutting edge of developing robotics, but domestic policing is also a different context in which greater separation from the community being policed risks compounding problems.
The balance between risks and benefits of robots, remote control and automation remain unclear.
But Dallas suggests that the future may be creeping up on us faster than we can debate it.
Attorney General Eric Holder said the alleged breaches were "significant" and demanded "an aggressive response".
US prosecutors say the officers stole trade secrets and internal documents from five companies and a labour union.
China denied the charges and warned the case would harm US-China relations.
By Carrie GracieBBC China editor
China always insists it is a victim of hacking, not a perpetrator. And when US intelligence contractor Edward Snowden appeared in Hong Kong a year ago with evidence of US hacking into Chinese networks, Beijing felt vindicated.
The US acknowledges that it conducts espionage but says unlike China it does not spy on foreign companies and pass what it finds to its own companies.
Beijing typically shrugs this off as a smear motivated by those who find its growing technological might hard to bear. But to see five named officers of the People's Liberation Army indicted by a US grand jury is not something that can be brushed aside so easily. China has already announced the suspension of co-operation with the US on an internet working group. And once it has had time to digest this loss of face, it is likely to consider more serious retaliation.
In Washington on Monday, Mr Holder said a grand jury had laid hacking charges against the Chinese nationals, the first against "known state actors for infiltrating US commercial targets by cyber means".
He identified the alleged victims as Westinghouse Electric, US Steel, Alcoa Inc, Allegheny Technologies, SolarWorld and the US Steelworkers Union.
"The alleged hacking appears to have been conducted for no reason other than to advantage state-owned companies and other interests in China, at the expense of businesses here in the United States," Mr Holder said.
He said the US government rejected economic espionage as a trade tactic.
"As President Obama has said on numerous occasions, we do not collect intelligence to provide a competitive advantage to US companies, or US commercial sectors," Mr Holder said.
In response to the charges, the Chinese government said its "stance on the issue of internet security is consistent and clear".
Foreign ministry spokesman Qin Gang said the allegations were "made up" and would "damage Sino-American co-operation and mutual trust".
"China is a staunch defender of network security, and the Chinese government, military and associated personnel have never engaged in online theft of trade secrets," he said.
In an indictment in the western district of Pennsylvania, the heart of the US steel industry, the US named Wang Dong, Sun Kailiang, Wen Xinyu, Huang Zhenyu, and Gu Chunhui, all officers in Unit 61398 of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA), as the alleged conspirators.
FBI officials said the hacking in the years 2006-14 caused "significant losses" at the companies and that there were likely many more victims.
John Carlin, head of the justice department's national security division, said, "While the men and women of our American businesses spent their business days innovating, creating, and developing strategies to compete in the global marketplace, these members of unit 61398 spent their business days in Shanghai stealing the fruits of our labour."

It's no coincidence that four of the six groups named in the prosecution are in the metal industry, business figures say.
"Trade enforcement is always mainly a steel story - it's the only big American manufacturer that uses the trade law system effectively," says Alan Tonelson of the US Business and Industry Educational Foundation.
He says the indictments are symbolic - and may also be an attempt to mollify a US steel industry at odds with the Obama administration over proposed international trade deals. Talks for the TTIP pact between the US and EU resumed on Monday.
"Clearly we're not going to have US Justice Department officials marching into the PLA's [People's Liberation Army's] headquarters to arrest the indicted personnel," he says.
Michael Wessel, the commissioner of the US-China Economic and Security Review Commission, said the case "sends a message that the US is going to actively protect its own interests and make sure that China plays by the rules."
For example, Mr Carlin said that as SolarWorld, a maker of solar panels and accessories, was rapidly losing market share to cheaply priced Chinese competitors, the hackers were stealing documents on pricing strategy from them.
While Westinghouse was negotiating a deal with a Chinese state-owned firm to build nuclear power plants, Unit 61398 stole secret designs for plant components, he said.
"In the past, when we brought concerns such as these to Chinese government officials, they responded by publicly challenging us to provide hard evidence of their hacking that could stand up in court," Mr Carlin said.
Last year, cyber-defence company Mandiant published a report on a Chinese military unit the firm said was behind the vast majority of significant attacks on American federal agencies and companies.
In March, Defence Secretary Chuck Hagel said the Pentagon planned to more than triple its cyber-security capabilities in the next few years to defend against such internet attacks.
US President Barack Obama has called cyber attacks a "real threat" to US security and its economy.
The 18-year-old fell at the New Charter Academy on Broadoak Road in Ashton-under-Lyne at about 09:10 BST, Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said.
GMP said he had gone to Manchester Royal Infirmary and his condition was "serious".
Principal Jenny Langley said the school would remain "fully open" while police investigated.
"Our thoughts are with the family and we're doing everything we can to support them along with staff and pupils," she said.
How could it when so many new elements were added to the narrative in the countdown to Murrayfield on Saturday?
This is the second year in a row that the Pro12 has delivered a Cinderella story. First Glasgow Warriors and now Connacht as champions. In there somewhere is Edinburgh - the ugly sister.
Mark Dodson, Scottish Rugby's chief executive, is not known for a touchy-feely approach to business, so Alan Solomons, the Edinburgh coach, can count himself deeply fortunate to be still in his job.
When the heat came on, Edinburgh vanished from view. No top-four slot, which was the target. No top-six, which was the minimum requirement.
Solomons has become something of an excuse-machine. He's prolific. He gets one more chance next season to take this thing forward. Nobody, bar Dodson, will be hanging their hat on him.
Glasgow's season flattered to deceive. They thought they'd kick-on in Europe but didn't. Many of us thought that they'd defend their Pro12 title, but that didn't happen either. They remain a thrilling team at their best and have a coach that will have learned the lessons.
Gregor Townsend continued the reshaping of his squad on Tuesday with the capture of Fijian international scrum-half, Nemia Kenatale, as replacement for the now retired Mike Blair.
So, at Scotstoun next season, that's Kenatale for Blair, Rory Clegg for the departing Duncan Weir, Leonardo Sarto, the Italian wing, for the southern-hemisphere bound Taqele Naiyaravaro, Jarred Firth, the Counties Manukau tighthead for the released Mike Cusack, and Corey Flynn, the veteran New Zealand hooker, for Kevin Bryce, who's off to Edinburgh.
Quite who's going to replace Leone Nakarawa is anybody's guess. That's presuming he's replaceable - by a human as opposed to something that Steven Spielberg might come up with in a CGI lab. Even then, you'd take Nakarawa.
The totemic Fijian has entered the warm embrace of Racing 92 with a pay packet sufficiently large as to choke an elephant.
Get used to the cherry-picking from France. It's going to happen a lot in the coming years. When a French club - or, for that matter, Bath in their poaching of Dave Denton from Edinburgh - can think nothing of shelling-out six figures to get a player out of a contract then the game has changed.
Townsend will spend the summer plotting for the coming season knowing that whatever he comes up with, Glasgow without Nakarawa is a diminished force.
Everybody - Glasgow particularly - have been chastened by the rise of Connacht. Leinster's way of dealing with the upstarts from the west of Ireland is to take one of their best players - Robbie Henshaw.
Ulster have got involved too, signing Connacht prop Rodney Ah You.
Ulster mean business. They have the outstanding Charles Piutau coming in at full-back from Wasps and would have had the terrific Springbok, Marcell Coetzee, as well had he not suffered an injury that has put him out of the game for a long spell.
Scarlets have recruited Jonathan Davies and Rhys Patchell. Munster have changed the coaching team and now have the formidable Rassie Erasmus running the show.
This season brought the biggest ever crowd at a Pro12 day, 68,262 people watching Judgement Day in Wales. We had the biggest ever crowd at an Edinburgh versus Glasgow match also - 23,642.
We not only had the race for the top four, but the top six. Once upon a time, when they had their sights set on Europe's biggest prize, the Pro12 meant little to Munster, but the final weeks of the league season were huge for the double Heineken Cup champions. They were staring down the barrel of Champions Cup elimination, a prospect so ghastly that it lent a drama - and a horror - to their run-in that was captivating.
More than 1.1m people watched Pro12 games this season with an average of 8,480 per game. That's a decrease of 106 fans per match, but in World Cup year, when so many box office names were missing, it's not a bad return.
The equivalent for the previous World Cup season - 2011-12 - was 7,721 per game. The first season of the Pro12 - 2010-11- had an average of 7,553 per game.
These numbers won't take the eye out of your head with their brilliance, but they show that the competition is capturing the imagination more than it has done before. Meritocracy has upped the ante. So has the new financial reality of one-time kingpins.
The Irish teams - six European Cups between them since 1999 - can no longer touch the monied outfits of France and England. The gap has become a chasm.
The Pro12 matters more to them now than it has ever done before because season by season it's becoming their only real shot at silverware.
So much about the competition is good and yet the Pro12 remains a small fry in the grand scheme of things.
French club rugby is largely muck. War of attrition follows war of attrition. Some of the biggest names in the world game arrive and the product still remains borderline unwatchable.
For the outsider, that is. For the French, it's tribal and magnificent; the beginning, the end and the in-between of their rugby dreams. Europe? It's an added bonus if it comes. The league stuff is what it's about and, crucially, where the money's at.
The French are already feasting on television revenues that make Pro 12 executives salivate, but those numbers are going to get even greater come 2019.
French clubs are going to trouser £305m in the four years from 2019. That's £76m per season. The English Premiership clubs are currently hoovering up £189m over four years - more than £46m per season. The Pro 12 equivalent is around £12m.
The fact remains, though, that the Pro12 offers up some terrific rugby, some outstanding stories and some great champions. There were 107 players from the Pro12 at the World Cup - more than any other league in the northern hemisphere.
Therein lies one of the problems of the competition, though. Yes, there's not nearly enough money and that's not looking like it's going to change any time soon. And it's never going to change unless the Pro12 helps itself.
On average about seven rounds of the Pro12 are played during Test match windows. That's seven matches, minimum, when the elite players are not on view.
It's what Martin Anayi, the managing director of the Pro12, calls the competition's greatest strength being turned into its greatest weakness.
"We have more international players than any other competition but we play games in international windows," he said recently. "It's self-defeating."
It is. Crowds plummet an estimated 45% on those weekends. The Pro12 allows itself to look like a lesser event, a kind of development league where the top boys don't always play. If you're going looking for more money from television companies then it doesn't help when your biggest marketing tools - your marquee players - are missing for vast chunks of the season.
The Pro12 had a magnificent finale at the end of an excellent season with many narratives. It has great strengths, big weaknesses and serious challenges.
The loss of the Nakarawas diminishes it, but that fight against French loot cannot be won.
It would be nice to see some kind of Pro12 vision all the same. The competition deserves it.

Three Rock's 9-1 rout of relegated Instonians wasn't enough to deprive Banbridge of the title with the Down club having a three-goal advantage.
Fraser Mills and Matthew Bell both hit two goals for Banbridge with Ross Beattie and Eugene Magee also scoring.
Banbridge will aim to complete a men's treble in next weekend's play-offs.
The double winners will face Monkstown in the semi-finals at the Three Rock Rovers-hosted competition next weekend with the hosts playing Lisnagarvey in Saturday's other last-four encounter.
Either Cookstown or Annadale will replace relegated Instonians in next season's IHL after reaching Sunday's promotion play-off final in Dublin.
In the semi-finals, a second half Mark Crooks goal gave Cookstown a 1-0 win over Leinster champions Corinthian.
Annadale then defeated Munster side Bandon 5-0 with two goals from Peter Caruth and one each from Craig Getty, Matthew Crookshanks and Ben Wallace.
So Cookstown will face Annadale in Sunday's final, with the winners promoted automatically and the losers having a second bite at the cherry in a play-off with UCD to decide the final spot in next season's national league.
Lurgan Ladies are also trying to get into the IHL, in their case via a round-robin promotion play-off series.
They've started well with two wins out of two to go top of the table overnight.
Lurgan began with a 3-0 win over Connacht side Greenfields, two of the goals coming from Chloe McCann after Tara McIlwaine had broken the deadlock.
In their second game of the day, Lurgan defeated Trinity 3-2 with Sarah McClure hit a first-half hat-trick.
On Sunday, Lurgan are in action against UCC and Old Alex, needing to finish top to qualify for the IHL while second place would secure them a play-off with Belfast Harlequins.
RSPB Scotland is challenging the developments in the Firth of Forth and Firth of Tay.
Scottish ministers approved the Inch Cape, Neart na Gaoithe and Seagreen Alpha and Bravo projects in October.
Industry body Scottish Renewables described the legal challenge as "really disappointing".
The four projects could comprise more than 400 turbines and generate more than 2.2GW of power, enough to power more than 1.4million homes every year.
Consent was given to the four developments under strict conditions to mitigate any potential environmental impact, and backing was given by environmental groups including Friends of the Earth Scotland.
However, a spokesman for RSPB Scotland said the approved projects could have "serious implications" for wildlife in the area.
He said: "We have not taken this decision lightly, but having given serious consideration to these decisions to grant consent, we have decided to take legal action.
"RSPB Scotland has a proven track record of taking a stand for nature, on behalf of our members and the general public, to ensure that wildlife and the natural environment is properly safeguarded for the future.
"If these decisions are allowed to stand, they could have serious implications for how birds and important wildlife sites are protected across Scotland and beyond.
"The vast majority of renewable energy developments pose no significant threat to birds or other wildlife.
"RSPB Scotland continues to support the development of carefully sited and designed renewables, including offshore wind. However, individual developments must be sited to avoid significant harm."
Lindsay Leask, senior policy manager at Scottish Renewables, said the challenge by RSPB Scotland was "really disappointing news".
She said: "Every one of these projects has been through an incredibly rigorous, detailed and independent assessment lasting anywhere between one and two years, and it now looks like there will be another lengthy examination of that process in court before they can go ahead.
"This new delay will make it even harder for Scotland to catch up with the rest of UK and northern Europe, which already have a sizeable offshore wind industry and supply chain supporting thousands of jobs.
"The irony here is that climate change is reckoned to be one of the biggest threats to Scotland's protected habitats and species. Offshore wind is a key part of the mix required for us to meet our targets for the growth of renewables and the reduction of carbon emissions."
The Neart na Gaoith wind farm east of the Fife Ness coastline would include up to 75 turbines, generating 450MW of power.
The Alpha and Bravo Seagreen developments combined would consist of up to 150 turbines, around 16-23 miles (27-38km), off the Angus coastline, and could generate 1,050MW.
And the Inch Cape development, also off the Angus coastline, would total no more than 110 turbines, generating 784MW.

Welshman Williams, world champion in 2000 and 2003, needs to win the event to return to the top 16 and qualify for the Crucible later this month.
The 42-year-old will play world champion Mark Selby in Sunday's final, which is the best of 19 frames.
Selby beat fellow Englishman Kyren Wilson 6-4 in a high quality match.
Iranian world number 76 Vafaei, 22, was in his first ranking semi-final after beating defending champion Judd Trump of England.
Williams went 5-0 up on Saturday after eventually winning a nervy opening frame that lasted 40 minutes.
Vafaei made a break of 98 in frame six, missing the final pink when he looked set for a century, before Williams completed the victory in the seventh.
There was also a 40-minute opening frame in the second semi-final, which Selby took before taking a 3-1 lead.
However, Wilson remained in touch and his 130 clearance levelled the match at 3-3.
Only one frame remained between the players until Selby settled it in the 10th with a break of 93.

A lorry bearing the slogan "Intelligent Logistics" crashed into the building in Ashton-under-Lyne, Greater Manchester, on Monday.
The driver is thought to have missed the warning sign on Ney Street, which is unsuitable for large vehicles.
Haulage firm Dachser said an investigation was under way.
A warning sign which reads: "Do not follow SAT NAV - next left" was placed on the road after previous crashes.
Nick Lowe, UK managing director, said: "Obviously, the driver clearly didn't see the sign. It doesn't excuse anything, but I understand it's the third time the house has been hit.
"The fact is, we have hit it now and we shouldn't have done. We are investigating what happened and there will be lessons learned from this."
The owner of the home, which was left with large cracks across its front, had been contacted by the company, he said.
Nobody was inside the property at the time and there were no injuries.
That's the question being asked after the city erupted into riots and looting on Monday. Since Michael Brown was shot dead by a police officer last year in Ferguson, Missouri, dozens of incidents questioning the use of force by police have emerged in cities and towns across the US.
But only Baltimore has seen unrest like Ferguson.
Baltimore is a thriving major city with black leadership. The thinking goes: This shouldn't be happening here.
To understand why you have to understand that Baltimore is actually two cities: One is a city mired in decline and poverty, made famous by the TV show The Wire. Another is a city on the rise with a shiny waterfront and increasing numbers of young affluent residents.
To keep the affluent Baltimore viable, city officials have pursued a laser-like focus on crime, ensuring its new up-and-coming neighbourhoods stay safe. Meanwhile, in sprawling low-income areas on the city's east and west sides, the police have been omnipresent. Sometimes their methods have bordered on draconian.
The success of the new Baltimore has never touched many parts of the city, most prominently the west side where this week's violence began. Take away the towering downtown, the waterfront and other affluent enclaves and Baltimore suddenly looks a lot like Ferguson - poor, harassed and angry.
In the 1980s and 1990s, Baltimore was haemorrhaging residents because of its high-crime rate, partly brought on by the city's massive heroin trade. David Simon, the creator of The Wire, worked then as a police reporter for The Baltimore Sun, making him an expert on the city's high-crime areas. Those experiences would later inform The Wire.
In the late 1990s, Martin O'Malley, the city's first white mayor after years of black leadership, adopted a get tough approach on crime. Mr O'Malley invested heavily in city police to turn around the fortunes of the once thriving city. He launched CitiStat, a statistics-based approach to crime fighting, sending police resources to exactly where the crime was.
His successors, Sheila Dixon and Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, both black women, maintained strong support for the police department.
For a time, the get-tough approach worked: the number of murders finally plunged below 200 in 2011. It had been over 300 several times during the 1980s and 1990s.
When budget cuts were required, police were spared while other parts of the city like the parks and recreation department felt the axe. While other cities stressed community outreach and gentler methods, Baltimore stayed the course with tough policing techniques.
But in recent years, crime has been inching back despite more and more effort from the police department. The Baltimore Sun published a special report last year showing the city paid nearly $6m (£3.95m) in recent years to victims of police beatings. The Justice Department has launched an investigation into those claims.
The civic pride that courses through Baltimore's new affluent areas is absent in west Baltimore. What remains is suspicion, unemployment, poverty and frustration.
Late on Monday, on social media, young residents of the new Baltimore posted messages like "this is not the city I fell in love with".
And in a way they were right.
Tim Swift worked as an editor at The Baltimore Sun from 2001 to 2014. He is now a news editor for The BBC in Washington.
The items were displayed as corporate art by Imperial Tobacco in Nottingham, but were never on public display.
The highest bid was £3,550 for a painting of a cricketer, used to promote cigarettes.
The 115 artefacts came up for sale following the closure of the firm's Horizon factory in 2016.
The oil and watercolour paintings depicting children playing with cigarettes and women gleefully smoking, were painted before awareness of smoking's health risks became more widespread in the 1950s.
The building, known as Players, after founder John Player, had the pictures displayed across five floors.
Imperial Tobacco, which had factory blocks in the Radford area of Nottingham, made more than one million cigarettes a day and employed up to 7,000 people at its height in the 1930s.
It was one of the biggest employers in the city for decades before the Horizon factory closure when about 500 people lost their jobs.
A spokesman for auctioneer John Pye & Son said: "Some of the bidders for the more iconic lots are located in Nottinghamshire so it's great to see that they're staying local.
"In the next couple of months we'll be holding another sale to auction off the plant & machinery and tooling from the site."
Vadis Odjidja-Ofoe's penalty put the Millers ahead after Cardiff keeper David Marshall was sent off for kicking out at Matt Derbyshire on 40 minutes.
But Peter Whittingham's fierce penalty after Farrend Rawson brought down Fabio levelled things before half-time.
Rotherham won it when Connolly turned Chris Maguire's cross into his own net.
Despite the victory Rotherham remain bottom of the Championship while Cardiff suffered their first defeat away from home in the league this season.
After a dour first 40 minutes the game exploded into life when visiting keeper Marshall lashed out at Derbyshire off the ball, getting himself sent off and conceding a penalty, which Odjidja-Ofoe tucked away for his first Millers goal.
Steve Evans's side could not take their lead into half-time though as Whittingham smashed home a spot-kick down the middle of the goal following Rawson's clumsy foul on Fabio.
The home side started brightly in the second-half as Jonson Clarke-Harris's half-volley was superbly saved by substitute goalkeeper Simon Moore.
Joe Newell's thunderous volley struck the post late on as Rotherham seemed destined to remain winless in the league, before Maguire's dangerous cross was inadvertently deflected into his own net by Connolly, sending the home crowd wild at a first three points of the season.
Rotherham United manager Steve Evans: "The win has been coming for me. I think if it would have been anything other than a win it would have been a travesty. We've been the best side by a million miles from the first minute.
"I thought we were battering them at 11 versus 11. They showed no interest in going forward in the second half and were camped behind the ball. The question was in the second half could we get the goal that our momentum deserved? You think it's not going to be our day.
"I think we were fantastic. We beat a top side full of quality players. We gave them a bit of a hiding."
Cardiff City manager Russell Slade on David Marshall's red card: "It's clearly a free-kick to ourselves because the player (Derbyshire) has pulled David Marshall and then David has lashed out. So yes it is a sending off - but it's not a penalty, it's a free-kick to ourselves.
"Should we have been down to 10 men? Yes we should. It's frustrating but he's left the 10 out there in a very difficult position. I'm sure he'll be very regretful of what's happened today. Occasionally players see the red mist.
"I thought we'd done enough in terms of digging in and defending as a group. We made big sacrifices to ensure that we could take a point back down the motorway but it wasn't to be."

The dinner on 26 May is thought to be one of his first major addresses since his term as president came to an end.
The event at the EICC is being organised by The Hunter Foundation.
It is being supported by Royal Bank of Scotland and is fully booked.
Mr Obama will also answer questions from the audience at the event, which is being held to raise money for charity.
The foundation was set up by leading businessman and philanthropist Sir Tom Hunter.
All of the cash raised will be split between children's charities in Scotland and the Obama Foundation, set up by the former president and his wife Michelle.
Sir Tom also plans to set aside some seats at the event for local young people.
He said: "Demand for this dinner has been unparalleled in our own experience and we can only apologise to those who we cannot accommodate at the dinner."
Peterborough Cathedral's organ is slightly sharper than the "standard pitch" introduced in 1939.
Music director Robert Quinney said this means choristers and lay clerks are forced to make "subtle changes" which "may not be good for their voices".
Work should start on the £350,000 project within six months.
Re-pitching the organ involves slightly lengthening each pipe and will take two years.
Mr Quinney said: "The organ is mostly from 1894 and back then different organ builders built them at different pitches - and it was the same with orchestral instruments.
"It was not until 1939 that everyone thought we needed a standard pitch."
As a result, the organ is half a semi-tone sharper than "standard pitch" and this means the organ cannot be used alongside visiting orchestras.
But "the real issue", according to Mr Quinney, is the impact on the cathedral's choir.
"The choristers and lay clerks have all learnt to sing at the standard pitch, that's the pitch they hear when they play their violin and listen to their iPods, so the cathedral organ is the odd one out," he said.
"To get your muscles to make such subtle changes may not be good for their voices."
The organ re-pitch is a small part of the four projects undertaken by the cathedral in the run-up to its 900th anniversary in 2018.
Permission for the change had to be sought from the Cathedral Fabric Advisory Committee, a national body which oversees certain types of work in Church of England cathedrals.
James Dyer, campaign manager of Peterborough 900, said it had rejected applications for the pitch change by five previous directors of music.
"After nearly 70 years of applications we were granted permission to do this work, on condition that we used [organ makers] Harrison & Harrison Ltd in Durham," he said.
The work will be funded by grants from charitable trusts, individual donations and corporate sponsorship.
Rossi, 24, will combine his duties with his first season in the IndyCar series in the US, attending 11 grands prix.
Racing director Dave Ryan said Rossi had been kept on after racing for the team in five races last season because they needed "a safe pair of hands".
Manor are employing two rookies as their race drivers this year - Mercedes protege Pascal Wehrlein and Indonesian former GP2 driver Rio Haryanto.
Ryan said the reserve role "always carries the potential to step up to race".
He added: "For Alex, F1 is still unfinished business. He did a great job when he drove for us in five of last season's races and he's a highly-rated and valuable part of our line-up.
"He does have one heck of a schedule ahead of him and it's a commitment that only the most disciplined of drivers would be able to manage."
Rossi said: "I've invested most of my career in F1 and I'm not one to kick my heels and wait for things to happen, so this is my way of staying sharp and prepared.
"It was disappointing to miss out on a race seat with Manor Racing this year; everyone knows I pushed and worked hard for it.
"I'm confident this experience will add to my role as a very important cog in an F1 team's wheel."
The other Round 4B tie saw Armagh drawn against Kildare, the county formerly managed by current Orchard County boss Kieran McGeeney.
The two fixtures will take place at Croke Park on 29 July.
Down take on Monaghan at 17:00 BST followed by Armagh's encounter with the Lilywhites two hours later.
McGeeney, Armagh's 2002 All-Ireland winning captain brought Kildare to an All-Ireland semi-final in 2010 but his reign ended in controversial circumstances in 2013 after losing a ballot among county delegates by just one vote.
Kildare will be without midfielder Kevin Feely after he picked up his third black card of the year in the Leinster final defeat by Dublin, while captain Eoin Doyle looks certain to have a procedure on a broken thumb.
No beaten Leinster finalist has gone on to win their Round 4 qualifier since the Lilywhites did it in 2009.
Monaghan suffered a shock Ulster semi-final defeat by Down, but have come through qualifiers against Wexford and Carlow.
Armagh have seen off Fermanagh, Westmeath and Tipperary in their All-Ireland qualifier ties, after losing out to the Mournemen in the Ulster Championship.
The winners of these ties will play either Tyrone or Dublin in the All-Ireland quarter-final. Should Kildare win they will automatically play Tyrone, while should Down win they will automatically face Dublin.
If Armagh and Monaghan both win then a further draw will be required to determine which of the above provincial champions they will meet in the quarter-final.
While teams in Round 4 are typically prevented from facing sides they've already played in their provincial championship this wasn't possible for Down as they'd already played both their potential opponents in this draw.
Moeen Ali and Ian Bell perished in the space of 13 balls as England - chasing 284 for victory and a 1-1 series draw - reached 46-2 in the 22 overs possible.
Shoaib Malik, who announced his retirement from Test cricket on Tuesday, claimed both wickets.
Earlier, Mohammad Hafeez hit 151 as Pakistan were bowled out for 355.
If England are to achieve their highest successful fourth-innings chase in Asia, they must do so against a three-pronged spin attack on a wearing pitch and with Ben Stokes' batting severely hampered by a collar bone injury.
Moeen's departure for 22 - lbw pushing at Malik with minimal foot movement - exposed Bell, who, expecting spin where there was none from round the wicket, played inside the line to have his off stump pegged back.
While Moeen's promotion to the top of the order has yielded only 84 runs in six innings, the manner of Bell's dismissal for a duck led to renewed doubts over his place in the side - and his 118-Test career.
"He won't retire and they won't sack him because they haven't got anybody else," former England batsman Geoffrey Boycott told BBC Test Match Special.
"He's got all the talent in the world but he's flaky in the head."
As so often has been the case in recent times, England's prospects of victory will rest heavily on captain Alastair Cook and Joe Root, who will resume on Thursday on 17 and six respectively.
Hafeez's 151 was the main reason England were kept in the field beyond tea.
Like the previous day, he enjoyed moments of fortune. Jonny Bairstow missed a stumping off an Adil Rashid googly in the first over of the day, while Stuart Broad put down a low one-handed chance in his follow-through with the opener on 113.
Hafeez went on to add 93 for the fifth wicket with captain Misbah-ul-Haq, who was lbw for 38 playing back to the impressive Broad.
Even after Hafeez chipped Moeen to Bell at long-on, England were frustrated by a run-a-ball 36 from Sarfraz Ahmed which was ended by a terrific delivery from Samit Patel which pitched on leg stump and hit off.
One of several Rashid long hops accounted for Yasir Shah, but James Anderson dropped a straightforward chance to allow Asad Shafiq to further frustrate England alongside Wahab Riaz.
Broad and Anderson were exemplary once again with the ball, combining control and penetration in conditions which continued to offer little for the seamers.
Broad finished with 3-44 from 23 overs and Anderson 2-52 from 26, but spinners Rashid, Moeen and Patel returned combined figures of 3-248 and managed only five maidens in 69 overs.
Former England spinner Phil Tufnell told TMS: "Some of the deliveries have come down with a bow on them - 'here you go, smash that to the boundary'."
Ex-England captain Michael Vaughan added: "It has been a full toss-athon. Graeme Swann didn't bowl an apologetic delivery like these England spinners.
"They have got the best options for these conditions but they are not bowling well enough."

The 34-year-old Samoa international made 85 appearances in his first spell at the Rec from 2011 to 2014.
"He has shown throughout his career his quality in the set-piece, as well as his formidable presence and ball-carrying ability around the park," said Bath director of rugby Todd Blackadder.
"I've no doubt he will prove a huge asset over the coming season."
Perenise played 52 games for Bristol, eight of them last term as they were relegated back to the Championship.
"At this stage of Anthony's career, it's a great opportunity for him to play in the Premiership with Bath, where he still lives," Bristol head coach Pat Lam told the club website.
Bath start the new Premiership campaign with a trip to Leicester on 3 September.
Muska the cat adopted the spiky brood after their mother died in a lawn-mowing accident.
The tiny hoglets, as they are known, had refused milk from a syringe, a bottle, and a saucer for two days, according to Sadgorod Zoo.
At night, the babies had a heating pad to stimulate their digestion.
Still, nothing helped.
As Muska had recently raised a litter of foster kittens, she had milk to offer - so the zoo decided to try the unusual pairing.
The hungry orphans reacted to her bodily warmth and the smell of milk, and soon began to nurse.
The good-natured cat proceeded to feed the hedgehogs for more than a week and comfort them at night, Russia's Vesti reports.
The fragile youngsters are now eating on their own, although their feline guardian is still keeping an eye on proceedings.
A picture on the zoo's Instagram feed shows one of them happily snoozing in his food bowl.
Sadgorod Zoo's media director Alyona Asnovina said there had been an "invasion" of hedgehogs in eastern Russian this year.
It's not the first time a cat has nursed orphaned hedgehogs in the country. In 2012, a cat named Sonya took in four babies and fed them alongside her own kitten.
The estimated number of tax-free £100,000 prizes each month will fall from three to two, and there will also be two fewer £25,000 prizes.
The reduction is part of a wider cut in interest rates across a range of NS&I's savings products.
Cuts of up to 0.25 percentage points "reflect market conditions", it said.
They follow interest rate cuts on the same variable rate products - the Direct Isa, the Direct Saver and Income Bonds - in June last year.
There are about 21 million Premium Bond holders in the UK. The bonds are issued by NS&I which is guaranteed by the Treasury.
The total number of tax-free prizes will fall in May to an estimated 2,219,493 from about 2,224,513 now. There will be more £25 prizes but fewer of most of the higher value awards.
The total prize fund will drop from £69.5m to £63.8m over the same period, although the two jackpot prizes of £1m each month will remain.
Danny Cox, chartered financial planner at Hargreaves Lansdown, said: "Ironically with so little interest on cash for savers, Premium Bonds look more attractive - if your savings are returning basically nothing, you might as well opt for the chance of the jackpot prize.
"NS&I will remain popular for their cast iron security but lower interest rates and rising inflation will test savers' patience."
NS&I announced that the interest rate for the Direct Isa and for Income Bonds will fall from the current rate of 1% to 0.75% in May.
The Direct Saver account will see its interest rate drop from 0.8% to 0.7% at the same time.
NS&I blamed the cut in the Bank of England's base rate from 0.5% to 0.25% in August and the reaction to the move across the savings market.
"We have taken the time to absorb the impact of the Bank of England base rate reduction and subsequent changes across the savings market," said Steve Owen, acting chief executive of NS&I.
"The new rates reflect current market conditions and allow us to continue to strike a balance between the needs of our savers, taxpayers and the stability of the broader financial services sector.
"We appreciate that savers will be disappointed, but we believe that the new rates present a fair offer to customers."
In all, the changes will affect 21 million savers.
In November, Chancellor Philip Hammond said that a new savings bond offering a "market-leading" rate of about 2.2% would go on sale through NS&I in the spring.
Anyone over 16 will be able to invest up to £3,000 in the three-year bond. The precise interest rate will be confirmed in the coming weeks.
The fossils had previously been classified as belonging to a different dinosaur group.
But Nick Longrich, from the University of Bath, found they closely resembled a dinosaur from the south-west US.
He says the remains represent a new species of the dinosaur Pentaceratops - a smaller cousin of the familiar horned plant-eater Triceratops.
Details of the research have been published in the journal Cretaceous Research.
The paper contains a formal description of the animal including its new name - Pentaceratops aquilonius.
It was a buffalo-sized plant eater that lived from about 75 million years ago.
Dr Longrich also studied another horned dinosaur held within the museum's collection.
He believes it is a new species of Kosmoceratops, a dinosaur with an ornate skull previously found at sites in Utah.
"We thought we had discovered most of the species, but it seems there are many undiscovered dinosaurs left," Dr Longrich explained.
"The total dinosaur diversity must have been extraordinarily high. We've really only just scratched the surface."
The dinosaurs lived in western North America at the end of the Cretaceous Period.
Dr Longrich believes that although distinct northern and southern provinces existed, there was exchange between them.
Dinosaurs would spread from one part of the continent to the other, then diverge to form new species.
Competition between the different species then prevented the dinosaurs from moving between the northern and southern regions.
Speaking to Radio 1 Breakfast Show host Nick Grimshaw, the Hunger Games actress said: "I cannot really keep up with emails so the idea of Twitter is so unthinkable to me.
"I don't really understand what it is, it's like this weird enigma that people talk about.
"It's fine I respect that but no, I'll never get Twitter."
Lawrence added: "Because the internet has scorned me so much, I feel like it's that girl in high school that I'm like 'Oh you want to talk about her? Yeah I'll do that.'
"Take my hoops off, I'm ready to go."
The 24-year-old said: "If you ever see a Facebook, Instagram or Twitter that says it's me, it most certainly is not me."
In September dozens of private pictures of the actress were released on the web. Last month, she said the people who leaked the naked photos were guilty of a sex crime.
Speaking to Vanity Fair, she said: "It is not a scandal. It is a sex crime. It is a sexual violation. It's disgusting.
"The law needs to be changed, and we need to change. That's why these websites are responsible."
Other celebrities targeted in the first wave of leaks included Rihanna, Kate Upton, Selena Gomez and Kim Kardashian.
It's thought the photos were taken off the stars' iCloud accounts and were shared on websites such as Reddit and 4chan.
Apple later confirmed that some celebrities' iCloud accounts were broken into, but said it found no evidence that this was caused by a breach of its security systems.
Instead, they suggested that the victims' log-in details had been guessed.

The loss-making Kent airport will close next week after a US firm's offer to buy the site was rejected on Monday and another bid fell through in April.
An airport spokesman said there had not been "a viable alternative" to allow the airport to remain open.
But Kent MP Sir Roger Gale said the airport should have negotiated over the offers.
Campaigners have vowed to continue fighting to keep Manston open.
In a statement, the airport spokesman said it had also considered business proposals put forward by staff but those would have still required losses to be subsidised.
"In the absence of other options, the decision has been taken to close the airport on 15 May," it said.
"Individual consultation will now take place with all staff members who will be supported through this process."
Staff were told of the decision to close the airport at a meeting on Tuesday morning.
The site was bought by Ann Gloag, who co-founded the Stagecoach Group, for £1 last year.
In March, the airport said it was in talks about closing because it was losing £10,000 a day.
Several airlines have pulled out, including KLM, which ran two daily flights to Amsterdam.
In a joint statement, local Conservative MPs Sir Roger Gale and Laura Sandys, said there was "ongoing and serious interest" in the acquisition of Manston as a working airport and they hoped the current owners could be persuaded to reconsider.
"We are convinced that, given more time, real progress could have been made and it is thus hugely disappointing that the decision has been taken to close it."
US firm RiverOak Investment, which is based in Stamford, Connecticut, said it had made an offer to acquire 100% of the shares in the company that owned Manston Airport.
It said it had $350m (£206m) in assets and a successful track record of turning around "troubled operating and real estate assets".
The company said it had developed a long-term plan to own and manage Manston as an airport.
In a statement, it said: "RiverOak is distressed to learn of the announced closure of Manston today and remains willing to engage with all parties to achieve a solution which allows the airport to continue operating and preserves the jobs of its staff."
Wendy Fraser, group secretary of Save Manston Airport, said campaigners would be stepping up their campaign to keep the airport open
"We'll fight to reopen it if it does close, and we will not let this be made into anything but an airport," she said.
Founder of the campaign group Dan Light added: "I believe that something can be done. I mean, it's not the end yet. It may look like it is, but we're going to fight to the bitter end."
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) said Southern Health had made improvements in identifying risks to patients.
The trust has prioritised safeguarding patients with mental health disabilities, the watchdog said.
Issues at the trust came to light after an 18-year-old man drowned in a bath at one of its Oxford facilities.
In January the CQC issued a warning notice to the trust following "concern" that "little action" had been taken to improve patient safety.
The results of a inspection in September, published on Friday, showed that "there had been a number of significant improvements in identifying and prioritising risks" and the warning notice has now been lifted.
Interim chief executive Julie Dawes said: "The CQC has recognised improvements have been made and I would like to thank all our staff for their hard work and commitment to patients, service users and families in improving standards of care."
Issues at the trust came to light after an inquest jury found that neglect led to the death of 18-year-old Connor Sparrowhawk, who drowned in a bath at the trust's Slade House facility in 2013.
In December 2015 an investigation commissioned by NHS England found that only 272 of 722 deaths in the trust over the previous four years were properly investigated.
The trust was similarly mired in controversy in October after a BBC investigation found the heavily-criticised former chief executive Katrina Percy was offered a tailor-made post at the trust on the same salary, which she has since left.
Deputy chief inspector Paul Lelliott said: "[The trust] has been under intense scrutiny.
"I am pleased to report that during this inspection we have found signs that the trust's management team was starting to get to grips with the underlying issues that were putting patients at risk."

Police said they were assisted in the house search by "specialist resources" following reports of a firearm in the Grangepans property.
Officers said 14 cannabis plants with an estimated street value of £3,000 were recovered.
The man was arrested for drug offences and a breach of the peace and will appear in court at a later date.
Officers attended the address on 3 March as part of Operation Core, which targets drug-related activity.

Former England paceman Ryan Sidebottom took 6-30 against his former club as Notts were all out for 177.
It took the White Rose county just 14.2 overs to collect the five wickets they needed on the final morning.
Sidebottom ended the game when James Taylor (75) was caught at gully, giving him match figures of 9-65.
It was a magnificent performance by the evergreen 36-year-old, who was a member of Yorkshire's 2001 title-winning squad, but moved to Notts three years later.
He contributed 50 wickets to help them win the Championship in 2005 and 30 when they did so again in 2010 before returning to his home county for the final phase of his career, after retiring from international cricket.
Yorkshire were relegated in Sidebottom's first season back at the club, but bounced straight back the following year as runners-up in Division Two after Australian Jason Gillespie took over as coach.
They began the game at Trent Bridge with a 26-point lead over the home side and were bolstered by the return to the team of England Test players Joe Root, Gary Ballance and Tim Bresnan.
They dominated the game after opener Adam Lyth's sixth hundred of the summer enabled them to pile up 532-9 declared.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Resuming on 149-5 after being made to follow on, Nottinghamshire's chances of holding out for a draw were slim and became even slimmer when Sidebottom knocked back Gary Keedy's off stump in the third over of play.
He then produced an absolute beauty to account for home skipper Chris Read, seaming away to find the edge and leave wicketkeeper Jonny Bairstow with a simple catch.
Sidebottom underlined his commitment by racing round the boundary to make a sliding save before collecting his fifth wicket of the innings by having Luke Fletcher taken at second slip by Lyth,
Taylor went past 50, but new batsman Jake Ball found himself ringed by fielders when leg-spinner Adil Rashid replaced Jack Brooks and was soon beaten by a flipper which left the umpire with a straightforward lbw decision.

The annual Mr X appeal, which sees schools, workplaces and individuals buy toys for youngsters across south west Wales, has resulted in a bumper haul of more than 9,000 presents.
The original Mr X died in March but his cause has been continued.
In the north a new campaign for teddies for sick children has been "inundated".
When Mr X - Swansea businessman Tom Bravin - died, friends and family vowed to carry on his work in his name.
Those who have taken on the appeal, which is in its 57th year, say they too want to keep their identity secret.
A spokesman for Mr X said: "The beauty of the appeal is the anonymity of it all.
"It's not about how much you spend, but the thought that goes into it - and ultimately ensuring that no child wakes up on Christmas Day without a gift.
"By the end of the appeal, we will have 9,000 presents come through.
"It shows that the true spirit of Christmas and thinking of those less fortunate than yourself is still alive and well.
"The original Mr X would have been thrilled that his legacy lives on."
Among the charities the Mr X appeal works with is the NSPCC.
The charity's team manager in Swansea, Amanda Deloncapdesuner, said: "Particularly in this financial climate, where parents are struggling, it really helps the families we are working with."
Elen Pierce, 34, from Llandudno Junction, began her appeal for teddies to give to sick children and those affected by trauma just under a month ago.
Ms Pierce said she had the idea while clearing out her three-year-old daughter Katie's bedroom and came across "so many soft toys".
She has now received about 400 teddies since starting her Facebook page - Give a Child a Teddy Campaign, including "three loads of bears from Australia".
"I expected this to be a fairly small project and was going to focus on distributing to children mainly from my area, but I've been inundated with teddy donations and there are now teddy drop-off points right across north Wales and Welshpool and a couple in England," she said.
"I would love to distribute them further afield."
Ms Pierce said the only difficulty she had come across was picking up the teddies from the drop-off points further afield, such as Essex, and appealed for help transporting them.

Pistorius has spent 10 months in jail for shooting dead his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, after his conviction for manslaughter last year.
The Olympic athlete insists he mistook Ms Steenkamp for an intruder.
State prosecutors want his conviction to be reviewed and converted to murder, with a minimum sentence of 15 years.
Pistorius was jailed for five years in 2014 for the culpable homicide of Reeva Steenkamp, a charge equivalent to manslaughter.
Under South African law, Pistorius is eligible for release under "correctional supervision", having served a sixth of his sentence.
After being freed, he would serve the rest of his term under house arrest.
During sentencing, Judge Thokozile Masipa said the state had failed to prove Pistorius' intent to kill when he fired.
His defence team now has a month to file its response.
Ms Steenkamp's parents have said that the time he has served is "not enough for taking a life".

Throughout 2015, the cameras will be positioned at 84 locations, allowing a team of scientists to record the type of animals passing through the area and where they make their home.
In the first four months since the cameras were deployed, the team has "trapped" more than 10,000 images of animals, suggesting the 30km zone, established shortly after the April 1986 disaster when a nuclear reactor exploded, ejecting radioactive material across the surrounding terrain and high into the atmosphere, is now home to a rich diversity of wildlife.
The network of cameras is gathering data that will help scientists choose the most appropriate species to fit with collars that will then record the level of radioactive exposure the animal receives as it travels across the zone.
"We want an animal that moves over areas of different contamination - that's the key thing we need," explained project leader Mike Wood from the University of Salford, UK.
"So we would consider some of the larger animals, such as wolves, because they would be ideal because the way the animal moves through the areas actually affects its contamination levels."
Commenting on the herds of Przewalski's horses, Dr Wood observed: "They seem to have adapted quite well to life within the zone.
"From the images from our cameras, they are clearly moving around in quite large groups," he told BBC News.
Dr Wood's team's project is part of a five-year research programme called Transfer, Exposure, Effects (Tree), which will aim to "reduce uncertainty in estimating the risk to humans and wildlife associated with exposure to radioactivity, and to reduce unnecessary conservatism in risk calculations".
Most of the fieldwork will be carried out within the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone (CEZ).
Late last year, one of Dr Wood's Ukranian colleagues - Sergey Gashchak - captured what was believed to be the first photographic evidence of brown bears within the CEZ.
But the tantalising glimpse of the bear is not enough to make it a candidate to fit with a collar.
Fitting collars to smaller animals, such as a fox, has disadvantages - such as limiting the size of the battery pack that can be fitted within the collar. Larger mammals are not without problems either.
"Once you start considering larger animals then it would be necessary to bring in a trained marksman," observed Dr Wood.
"There are difficulties with using firearms in Ukraine and will require additional permits to be put in place."
This means the team currently favours using bait to trap animals in cages, which will allow them to be fitted with the collars and for the individuals to be assessed by a vet before being released.
Illegal poaching is a problem within the CEZ, and one image captured by the cameras suggested that the elk in question had a narrow escape.
Dr Wood said that the team had to bear in mind the activity of poachers when they chose the most suitable species to wear the collars.
He explained that if the animal was killed then it would mean that the collected data would be limited or lost.
He added: "However, this is a concern that could be applied to any of the species because poachers going into the zone are unlikely to be overly selective."
"This image is a great example of how you could be going through an area and have a lynx just 20 or 30 yards away from you, yet you'd have no idea it was there," said Dr Wood.
"They can literally disappear into the background as they are so well camouflaged in this environment."
It also highlights why the camera traps, which will be capturing images until October 2015, are an important tool for the researchers.
They provide a more representative picture of what animals are found in an area, and whether they regularly visit particular locations.
Once the team has collected images from the 84 randomly selected locations across the exclusion zone, the next stage of the project - which is being undertaken by researchers from the University of Salford, the UK's Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, and the Chornobyl Centre - will be to fit tagging collars to the selected species.
This is expected to be carried out during 2016.
The proposed 40,000-seat building in Old Oak will replace the club's current Loftus Road ground, in Shepherds Bush.
The stadium will be part of a regeneration of the area, which is provisionally called New Queens Park.
"Loftus Road is - and always will be - a special place for the club and our supporters, but we need more than an 18,000 capacity," QPR chairman Tony Fernandes said.
"With no option of expanding here, we have to look elsewhere and we welcome the Mayor's and Hammersmith & Fulham Council's commitment to regenerate the area.
"Not only will this give us a top-quality stadium to cater for QPR's needs as the club progresses and grows over the years ahead, but we are very excited about being the driving force behind creating one of the best new urban places in the world."
The plans include a residential area with 24,000 new homes and a commercial space which will include a 350-room luxury hotel, studios, offices, cinemas and restaurants.
The regeneration is expected to generate 50,000 jobs.
Chief executive Philip Beard wants the new ground to retain some of the characteristics of Loftus Road.
He said: "We will look to build a stadium QPR fans and local residents can be proud of.
"Loftus Road is renowned for its atmosphere and with the help of our supporters, replicating that at our new stadium will be one of our top priorities."
Fernandes completed his takeover of the club, who were relegated to the Championship last season, in August 2011.
He first revealed the club were looking at alternative sites to Loftus Road in West London in November 2011 and Rangers confirmed they were in talks about the Old Oak site since August.
Antony Spencer, who is developing the masterplan for the project along with Sir Terry Farrell, said the area will be a "vibrant" development.
Old Oak is an area of industrial and railway land in between Old Oak Common Lane, Wormwood Scrubs, Scrubs Lane and Willesden Junction in west London. It is the site of a proposed new hub station for the HS2 rail line north, which will also incorporate the trans-London Crossrail project. It is two-and-a-half miles from QPR's current ground at Loftus Road.
"We are talking to a number of world-class architects to design iconic tall buildings akin to New York, the Far East and London's finest, as well as improving and incorporating the waterside environment of the Grand Union Canal."
He added: "We are now in a position to forge ahead as we have secured strategic land holdings in excess of 100 acres. We are confident of securing a planning permission by early 2015 and starting development shortly afterwards."
QPR is working with the Greater London Authority (GLA) and Hammersmith and Fulham Council on the plans, which need planning approval.
As part of the proposed redevelopment scheme, Old Oak is to be the main hub station in the capital for the HS2 high-speed rail project.
The GLA recently consulted residents on the plan for Old Oak, which it says will improve the local economy and see thousands of homes built.
If plans do go ahead, the area would be redeveloped by 2043, with the station open in 2026.
Welsh Secretary Alun Cairns said he would scrap his ability to block some laws made in Wales about water.
He said the decision puts right a "long outstanding injustice" 50 years after the flooding of a Gwynedd village to create a reservoir to supply Liverpool.
The Welsh Government said it had called for the devolution of these powers "for some time", so welcomed the move.
In 1965, the village of Capel Celyn was flooded to create the Tryweryn reservoir to provide Liverpool with water, under a law passed in 1956.
Mr Cairns told BBC Radio's Good Morning Wales programme the changes settled an injustice "where Wales was failed".
"Every secretary of state up until now has ducked this tough issue whereby water within Wales and England is inter-related" he said, saying intervention powers over water legislation were maintained "from Ron Davies to Peter Hain".
Why does it matter that the UK government will no longer be able to block some Welsh laws on water?
There is the symbolism.
Today, planning laws might stop another Tryweryn but water remains a sensitive political issue.
It is also significant that Whitehall - after bruising negotiations between the Wales Office and DEFRA - has agreed to give up its veto.

The changes will be made as amendments to the Wales Bill, which is being debated in the House of Lords on Tuesday.
The Welsh secretary's powers to intervene on water-related legislation will be replaced by a legal agreement between the Welsh and UK governments.
The Wales Office said it was too early to say exactly when that would be, but said there would be no cost to the taxpayer and no change in how customers in England and Wales receive their water.
Former Plaid Cymru leader Lord Wigley said: "Plaid has fought hard over many years to get a fair settlement for Wales regarding water and to ensure that never again can a Tryweryn-type issue arise.
"I look forward to seeing exactly what the government has to say on Tuesday."
The changes will take effect once a formal agreement between the UK and Welsh governments has been signed.
A Welsh Government spokesman said: "We look forward to receiving further details on this as soon as possible."
The decision follows pressure from the Welsh Government and from opposition politicians who believe the Wales Bill leaves too much power at Westminster.

The Saints took the lead in the 30th minute when Gabbiadini converted from Ryan Bertrand's cross.
The Italian scored again seconds before the break with a brilliant turn and finish inside the penalty area.
Jason Denayer's own goal and Shane Long's simple finish late on gave the visitors a fully-deserved, comprehensive win.
Sunderland came into the game on the back of a stunning 4-0 win at Crystal Palace, but remain bottom of the table after managing just one shot on target, a tame 30-yard strike from Didier Ndong.
The win for Claude Puel's side is just their second in the Premier League since Christmas and their first points on the road in 2017.
Gabbiadini is a name famous on Wearside with Marco Gabbiadini scoring 87 goals in 183 games between 1987 and 1992.
But it was Manolo - no relation to the former Sunderland man - who impressed in Southampton's fine victory.
The striker signed for £14m from Napoli in January and now has three goals for the club, following his debut goal against West Ham last week.
His first strike could be viewed as lucky with the ball coming off Sunderland centre-back Lamine Kone's head before deflecting into the net off Gabbiadini's forearm.
There was no doubt about the second however, which came at the end of an excellent team move.
The 25-year-old turned brilliantly in the area before an excellent right-footed finish beat Vito Mannone.
Sunderland were buoyed by their win last week but now must feel like they are back to square one.
David Moyes' side started the game bottom but would have gone 16th with a victory after relegation rivals Crystal Palace and Hull City both lost.
The Black Cats started relatively brightly in the game but had no answer when Southampton got into their stride.
Substitute Fabio Borini headed Sunderland's best chance wide late on but the hosts failed to provide any service to top scorer Jermain Defoe, who did not have a shot in the 90 minutes.
"This is a game gone and the games are running out. We have to win some if we have a hope of staying up, simple as that," Moyes said afterwards.
On Thursday, Saints boss Puel said the team were "angry" at recent results after six league defeats from seven matches.
The Frenchman's side responded however with a fine confidence-boosting performance with the EFL Cup final against Manchester United just two weeks away.
Long and Gabbiadini both missed good chances with the score at 2-0 before the late goals rounded off the win.
Gabbiadini starred with two goals but Oriol Romeu was also excellent in midfield.
The former Chelsea and Barcelona man had more touches (91) and completed more passes (72) than any other player and also made six interceptions and won seven aerial duels.

Sunderland manager David Moyes: "We didn't play well, not as well as last week. We made some defensive mistakes.
"We had a great chance to maybe move out of the bottom three had the games gone for us, but unfortunately it didn't fall for us. Southampton themselves had fragile confidence, but they got a goal off their centre-forward's arm.
"We played OK without creating too many clear-cut opportunities, and the more attacking changes we made the worse we became."

Southampton manager Claude Puel: "Today, first of all, was about the clean sheet. We showed a very good spirit and attitude in a difficult game. A good team performance showing plenty of confidence and quality.
"Manolo Gabbiadini is a technical player of quality who can finish well. It's great for us, and as a team it's now important to continue this work."
Sunderland are heading to New York for some winter training next week as they are without a game because of the FA Cup's return.
They next play in the Premier League on 25 February against Everton (kick-off 15:00 GMT).
Southampton's next game is the EFL Cup final on 26 February (kick-off 16:30) and do not play again in the league until Watford on 4 March.

The company, which reported strong quarterly sales of its other businesses, said it wanted to concentrate on shoes and clothing.
The German firm launched a review of its golf unit last August.
The popularity of golf has fallen sharply in the US since 2000, the year Tiger Woods was at his peak. It accounts for half of the global market.
Brands Adidas hopes to sell are the TaylorMade, Adams and Ashworth brands, which represent about 60% of its golf unit.
Adidas has owned TaylorMade since 1997, adding Ashworth in 2008 and Adams four years later to make it the world's biggest golf supplier.
In 2015, golf unit sales fell by 13% to €902m ($1.04bn)- about 5.3% of group sales.
Analysts at UBS said the sale should "remove the earnings volatility of an equipment business with higher fixed costs and lower sales visibility than traditional sportswear".
That aside, the company announced a 31% rise in quarterly sales of its core brand in North America, thanks to a rise in marketing, including a series of partnerships with high-profile people including Kanye West.
His name's been trending on Twitter as people mocked his outfit on Match of the Day.
The former Fulham midfielder appeared alongside Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer for Arsenal v Hull in the FA Cup.
Hair tied back and wearing a black shirt, which was half unbuttoned, he was likened to Peter Stringfellow and Harry Styles in 20 years.
"Just turned on Match of the Day, so late to this, but Jimmy Bullard seems to have come as a Flamenco dancer..." wrote â€
About 10 tonnes of the animal swill spilled onto the A354 near Winterborne Whitechurch, between Dorchester and Blandford, at about 00:30 BST, Dorset Police said.
Specialist equipment was used to clear the "greasy" non-hazardous waste from the road, the force added.
The road was closed for several hours but has since reopened.
The Press Association found the details via a freedom of information request.
Eleven Scottish councils responded and listed the animals they had granted licences for in their area.
Dangerous wild animals (DWA) licences allow people to keep undomesticated animals as pets, subject to safety measures and a small fee.
The Scottish councils which responded, and the animals involved, were:
The Scottish SPCA said it was important anyone keeping such an animal knew how to keep them and could afford to do so.
Ch Supt Mike Flynn said: "There is a licensing regime in place which is run by the local authority for species listed under the Dangerous Wild Animals Act.
"The local authority would usually involve a vet who has specialist knowledge of the particular species requiring the licence.
"As with any animal being kept as a pet, owners should have the knowledge and resources to ensure the animal's welfare."
The city's Museum of Science and Industry is playing host to a two-day Mini Maker Faire.
Amateur hardware hackers, makers and other tinkerers will show off their creations at the event.
Also on show will be a chandelier made of lost earrings, a musical milk float and a home-made volcano.
The first three UK Maker Faire events were staged in Newcastle but this year the event has moved to Manchester.
The Faire brings gives together people who have a passionate interest in turning out their own gadgets or have used electronics to turn everyday, or discarded, objects into something more usable.
"Maker Faires celebrate the human spirit of inquisitiveness, creativity and ingenuity and aim to inspire others to try and make their own creations," said organiser John Beckerson.
While most Faires are testament to the diverse interests of the exhibitors, a mini-theme has emerged at the Manchester Maker Faire as several of those attending are showing off giant-size versions of well-known family games.
Visitors to the Faire will be able to see a dress shop mannequin that has been converted into a full-size version of Operation.
Also on show will be a version of Kerplunk that stands almost two metres (6ft 6in) high.
In addition, attendees will get a chance to play a huge version of the Connect 4 game made using counters made of recycled polystyrene.
Maker Faires originated in the US and are an outgrowth of the success of the Make magazine which writes about amateur hardware hackers and gives advice about DIY electronics and craft projects.
The BBC news website will have a full report on the event next week.
Moores, 19, has joined because Jos Buttler is on England one-day duty while Alex Davies has a knee injury.
The left-handed batsman has played for England at under-19 level and is the son of Peter Moores, the national team's former head coach.
"Tom is highly regarded and is an exciting young talent," said Lancashire cricket director and head coach Ashley Giles.
"He has a good pedigree and we are looking forward to him joining up with the squad."
Moores is set to make his Lancashire debut in Friday's T20 Blast fixture against Worcestershire.
He runs the Hook and Cleaver butcher in Ealing, west London.
"At the time trade really did go through the roof, especially with mince products, burgers, sausages, things like that," he says.
Consumers had lost confidence in some supermarket products and favoured local butchers like Mr Dzido who could tell them more about the meat they were buying.
The scandal emerged in mid-January, when Irish food inspectors announced they had found traces of horsemeat in some frozen beefburgers stocked by UK supermarkets including Tesco, Iceland and Lidl.
Over the next few months a number of stores and suppliers across the UK and Europe had to remove products labelled as beef after test results revealed they contained varying quantities of horsemeat - in some cases up to 100%.
As a result sales of frozen burgers and frozen ready meals plunged. The most dramatic decline came in March and April of last year when frozen burger sales tumbled 41% compared with the same months in 2012, according to figures from industry analysts Kantar Worldpanel.
Frozen ready meals also saw a sharp drop in sales, falling 11% in March and 15% in April.
But since that panic the frozen burger has made a comeback. For the 12 weeks to 8 December 2013, burger sales were down just 1% compared with the same period in 2012.
The reason? Heavy discounting. Food retailers, including Iceland, discounted burgers after the crisis and shoppers found that hard to resist, particularly at a time when many households were struggling with tighter budgets.
"If something is out there at half price you get huge spikes in sales, people immediately react to that," says Ed Garner, communications director at Kantar Worldpanel.
However, frozen ready meals have not seen the same kind of recovery. The most recent figures show sales still down 6% compared with a year ago.
Analysts say that is probably because shoppers were uncertain about the quality of frozen ready meals, even before the horsemeat scandal broke.
"People were already predisposed to suspect frozen foods were somehow inferior," says Mr Garner.
"It kind of confirmed matters when people saw that a frozen ready meal turned out to be all horse and no meat."
As well as affecting sales, the horsemeat scandal has changed the way some customers shop for food.
An Ipsos Mori poll run in partnership with the Grocer magazine shows that almost a third of respondents said the incident had "permanently impacted" the way they chose and bought food.
And a survey carried out on behalf consumer organisation Which? in late November found that 49% of respondents said the horsemeat incident had changed their shopping habits, with 25% saying they bought less processed meat and 17% saying they bought more products from butchers and farmers' markets.
And it seems that value for money is still the main concern for many shoppers.
"Twenty-six per cent of the British public are buying cheaper food than they were a year ago, which may suggest that price is still a central factor in food choices," says Stephen Yap, head of Ipsos MarketQuest.
According to the Ipsos Mori poll, Tesco and Iceland suffered more damage to their reputations from the incident than other supermarket chains.
Ipsos Mori asked if people felt more or less favourable towards the six major UK supermarkets after the incident. In response, 20% of those polled said they felt less favourably about Tesco, and 14% felt less favourably about Iceland.
But both chains would probably point to the fact that almost 70% of respondents "felt the same" about them.
A Tesco spokesperson told the BBC: "The horsemeat issue impacted customer confidence across the retail industry. In response to the issue, we promised our customers we would make significant changes, and we have done so.
"We take nothing for granted and will continue to work hard to ensure customers know our food is of the highest quality."
Iceland did not respond to a BBC enquiry.
Retailers have been working hard to regain trust, according to industry body the British Retail Consortium: "Over the last 12 months suppliers have been reassessed, supply chains are less complex including an increase in sourcing from the UK, there has been an increase in the unannounced audits of suppliers, and increased testing of ingredients."
Back in Ealing, Mr Dzido is proud of the fact that he travels to Smithfield meat market and personally selects the meat sold in his shop.
"We offer a bit more than supermarkets do. We are in more direct contact with the farmers, there's less people in the chain before we process any of the meat.
"I know every ounce of meat hanging in my fridge, what it is and where it's come from."

Naomi Long of the Alliance Party was reacting to Mr Johnson's appointment as the UK's foreign secretary.
She pointed to his 2002 use of the word "piccaninnies" and his past remarks on President Obama's part-Kenyan ancestry.
Mrs Long said she was fine with him appearing on comedy shows, but not on the "world stage".
Mr Johnson was the most prominent politician in the Leave campaign, which lobbied for a British exit from the EU in last month's referendum.
His appointment as foreign secretary - the UK's top diplomat - has been met with some surprise by the international press, with newspapers citing his history of faux pas.
Mr Johnson said he was "very humbled" by his new role.
He said there was a "massive opportunity in this country to make a great success of our new relationship with Europe and with the world".
However, Mrs Long said: "I don't doubt that Boris Johnson is an intelligent man.
"But he has cultivated the persona of a clown in order to avoid responsibility for some of the quite offensive things he has said over the years."
She cited a previous article Mr Johnson wrote about Mr Obama that referred to the "part-Kenyan president's ancestral dislike of the British empire".
Mrs Long also mentioned a 2002 article in which Mr Johnson referred to the Queen being greeted in Commonwealth countries by "flag-waving piccaninnies".
Writing about the then prime minister Tony Blair's visit to Africa in the same article, Mr Johnson said that "tribal warriors will all break out in watermelon smiles to see the big white chief touch down in his big white British taxpayer-funded bird".
He later apologised for the remarks.
But Mrs Long told the BBC's Stephen Nolan Show: "This is not a man that I would wish to be representing me on the international stage.
"Ultimately, we all know that people will buy tickets to the circus but we don't want our politics to be a circus.
"We don't want clowns to be running important departments.
"Boris may well be diverting and entertaining and I don't mind if he's on Have I Got News For You?.
"That's all well and good, but I'm not sure that it's necessarily good - certainly given the international reaction to his appointment - for our standing."
Mrs Long, a former MP for East Belfast, now represents the constituency in the Northern Ireland Assembly.
A 29-year-old man was arrested at an address in the city by officers from West Midlands Police's counter-terrorism unit, the force said.
A 28-year-old woman taken into custody earlier has been bailed.
Officers are continuing to search three addresses in the Foleshill and Radford areas. Police say the arrests were intelligence-led.
The latest arrest was pre-planned and there is no risk to public safety, said the force.

They had been training on Tullan Strand on Saturday morning and had entered the water to cool down after their session.
Surfers, one of whom was a crew member with Bundoran RNLI, entered the water and helped the footballers to safety.
Both the inshore lifeboat from Bundoran and a Sligo based rescue helicopter attended the scene.
The lifeboat crew gave first aid to eight of the players, some whom were bruised and had swallowed sea water, before ambulances arrived.
A number of the casualties were taken to Sligo University Hospital as a precaution.
Following the incident, Bundoran RNLI helm James Cassidy warned potential visitors to the area about the potential dangers:
"We would remind locals and visitors alike that Tullan Strand and particularly the area along the cliffs is notorious for rip currents and under currents and is really not suitable for swimming.
"Rips are strong currents running out to sea which can catch even the most experienced beachgoers out.
"Should you get caught in a rip, the best advice is to stay calm and don't panic. If you can stand, wade. Don't try to swim.
"If you have an inflatable or board, keep hold of it to help you float. Raise your hand and shout for help loudly. Don't swim directly against the rip or you will get exhausted.
"Swim parallel to the beach until free of the rip, then make for shore," he added.
Secretly-filmed footage passed to Newsnight shows examples of patient neglect and ignored safety procedures.
Incidents include one healthcare worker cleaning a feeding and medicine tube with a pen nib and one patient marked as nil-by-mouth being given drinks.
NHS England told the BBC it is working to improve specialist rehabilitation for patients with such complex needs.
However, one leading expert told Newsnight that some patients were not recovering as fully as they might because of these problems with their care.
Professor Michael Barnes, a specialist in neurological rehabilitation medicine who chairs the UK Acquired Brain Injury Forum, said: "There are some very good rehabilitation centres in this country, but equally I'm afraid there are units in this country that really don't provide proper co-ordinated rehabilitation at all.
"And yet that's what they are called. And that, I think, is a sad reflection and something needs to be done about that."
Every 90 seconds someone in the UK suffers a brain injury. There can be many causes, such as a bleed to the brain, a fall, an assault - often it is the result of a road accident.
Following an injury of this sort, the brain has to rebuild pathways to allow the person who has suffered the injury to re-learn the things they once took for granted, and that is why specialist rehabilitation and good care are so vital.
Grant Clarke had a massive brain haemorrhage last year, at the age of 43. He was left severely disabled, but during 12 weeks in hospital he made steady progress.
His family believed with the right help he would be home within four months.
But they say his recovery was undermined by poor care and a lack of appropriate rehabilitation when he was transferred to the West Kent Neuro-rehabilitation Unit in Sevenoaks.
"He didn't have his teeth brushed," Mr Clarke's partner Binny told us.
"He didn't have his armpits washed. He was left in urine, all the time. Every time I went to see him he was wet to his armpits, and cold."
After raising her concerns on a number of occasions she decided to take the extreme action of installing a secret camera in his room. She was shocked by the footage it recorded.
Mr Clarke's injuries had left him unable to swallow, and so a tube was inserted to bring food, liquids and medication straight to his stomach.
The tube had to be cleaned with care to avoid infection, but the secret filming shows a healthcare worker cleaning the top of it with the nib of a pen.
Despite him being nil-by-mouth, another healthcare assistant was seen giving Mr Clarke drinks of water five times over two nights.
And though he can barely speak, his call bell was removed three times in 10 days.
Binny later discovered that only one of the nursing staff at the unit had training in brain injuries, even though it was described as a specialist unit.
Following a complaint made by the family the healthcare worker who gave Grant the drinks was interviewed by police, but they decided not to take action against him.
The worker gave a letter to the police in which he expressed his regret for his actions. He no longer works for the West Kent Neuro-rehabilitation Unit.
Mr Clarke's family made 26 complaints to the Kent and Medway NHS and Social Care Partnership Trust. Most were upheld - including the removal of the call bell and the use of a pen to clean the top of Mr Clarke's feeding tube.
In a statement to BBC Newsnight the Trust said: "We remain appalled by what happened."
It continues: "We subsequently created a robust action plan to address all concerns," and adds that compulsory, specialist training for all staff has now been introduced.
Mr Clarke, who is now in another rehabilitation unit that is providing him with the care and support he needs, is making progress and starting to spend time at home with his family.
But concerns of a similar nature have been raised by the family of Mark Courtney.
He had a severe asthma attack in March 2007 that left him severely brain damaged. His family say they have experienced failings in basic care ever since.
"He has been in four different placements in the last six-and-a-half-years and I have found that not any of the placements are ideal," his wife Chammelle told BBC Newsnight.
Mrs Courtney's concerns about her husband's care include unexplained cuts and bruises, medication errors and a failure to position him correctly.
She believes patients in all of the facilities where he has been treated are at serious risk of harm.
Professor Michael Barnes says that investment in brain injury rehabilitation could save the state money in the longer term.
"There is good evidence that although rehabilitation costs more money clearly than someone going home, or going to a nursing home, that money is recouped over two to three years by that person requiring less support from the state, getting back to work and earning money."
Dr John Etherington is the National Clinical Director for Rehabilitation and Recovering in the Community at NHS England.
He told BBC Newsnight: "This role bolsters a number of initiatives already underway which will start to enhance provision. These include the establishment of a Clinical Reference Group to examine the commissioning of specialised rehabilitation services, the development of regional trauma networks to review services - which has already led to service improvements - and a review of funding for long term conditions which is underway through the 'Year of Care' initiative that will enable a more flexible and patient centred distribution of funding.
"We have also for the first time, put in place a national specification for specialised rehabilitation to combat variation in services and ensure more equitable access across the country. This work is vital to improving outcomes for patients."

Under the terms of the deal, Zimbabwe will be able to sell some stockpiles.
It may be able to resume full exports after a review of conditions at the Marange diamond fields in September.
The Kimberley Process suspended the diamond exports in November in response to allegations of atrocities committed by security forces at Marange.
There have been weeks of deadlock over the negotiations and the deal in Russia came only after a Zimbabwean human rights activist was released on bail earlier this week.
Farai Maguwu is accused of providing false information about the diamond trade and was arrested after meeting a representative of the Kimberley Process on 3 June.
His continued detention scuppered attempts to reach a deal on Zimbabwe's diamond exports at a Kimberly Process meeting in Israel last month.
Campaigners said a crisis had been averted by a last-minute deal.
"The ball is now in Zimbabwe's court to make good on its promises and act to end one of the most egregious cases of diamond-related violence for many years," Annie Dunnebacke of Global Witness said in a statement.
"We fervently hope that the governments in the Kimberley Process will, for their part, hold Zimbabwe to its commitments in order to begin to restore the battered integrity of the scheme."
Zimbabwe Mines Minister Obert Mpofu said the country was "ready and willing" to work with the Kimberly Process.
"We know the value of co-operating with the organisation," the Wall Street Journal quotes him as saying.
The army took over the Marange mines in 2008 and has since been accused of committing widespread abuses there - killing some 200 miners and forcing others to work in the mines.
Campaigners say the diamond money is being used to fund President Robert Mugabe's Zanu-PF party.
Zimbabwe's army has denied the allegations.
In February, President Mugabe threatened to leave the Kimberley Process after Zimbabwe was given until June to prove that its mines were properly run.
The Kimberley Process was set up in 2002 after the diamond trade was accused of fuelling several conflicts in Africa.
The diamonds from the Marange field could see the country become one of the world's top six exporters and generate $1.7bn (£1.1bn) a year.
Zimbabwe has accused the West of trying to hold back its economic development.
She says: "One board member threw down his pen and said 'this isn't going to work, women aren't interested in sex'.
"Obviously it said a lot more about his sex life than it did about my idea."
This exchange took place back in 1981 when Ann Summers, part of a wider adult entertainment business called Gold Group International (GGI), was just a four-store chain.
GGI is still to this day owned by Ms Gold's father, David Gold, who is also the co-owner of West Ham Football Club.
Ms Gold had joined the family firm in 1979, aged 19.
After doing a number of basic admin jobs, her big idea was to try to transform the Ann Summers brand by setting up a new Tupperware-style party service solely for women, and introducing lingerie that was actually comfortable and flattering to wear.
Under Ms Gold's plan, a female Ann Summers representative would visit a woman's house with a range of lingerie and sex toys for the woman and her friends to see and potentially buy.
Ms Gold's central thinking was that it would open up a whole new market of women who would have been too embarrassed or unwilling to walk into an Ann Summers store.
Despite the reluctance of some members of the GGI board, Ms Gold was given the go-ahead, autonomy and funding.
The parties were an immediate hit, and within a year Ms Gold has signed up 500 party organisers.
With the party side of the business then continuing to see its turnover grow at more than 20% every year, Ms Gold started to invest the money into building a network of new stores.
Again aimed at women, the shops were to be a world removed from the grubby, backstreet sex shops of old. Instead they were to be clean, bright, and located on High Streets. The aim was for them to be socially acceptable.
Today Ann Summers has 140 stores across the UK and Republic of Ireland, and an annual turnover of £140m ($215m). Meanwhile Ms Gold, 55, who was formally made Ann Summers' chief executive in 1987, has a personal wealth estimated at more than £500m.
She says: "When I joined Ann Summers its customer profile was only 10% women, today it remains 100% women going to our parties, and 80% women to our stores.
"I always say that I have taken the company from the raincoat brigade to a female institution."
With no business qualifications, or prior experience of running a company, Ms Gold says she had to rely on her "gut instinct" when it came to making decisions in her early years.
She adds: "When you are younger you just do things so differently. You'd think, 'I don't know this, I don't know that', but you just get on with it, and I worked really hard.
"We were growing really fast, and of course we had lots of teething problems.
"One mistake was to throw people at problems because we didn't have the money for a strategy, and I wasn't savvy on how to put a proper business plan together.
"Instead it was all my own gut feeling, and having to rely on feedback from my customers, which at the time I thought was a disadvantage, but any business leader will now tell you is an advantage."
Key problems along the way at Ann Summers have included being unable to source sufficient supplies to keep up with demand, which ultimately forced the company to source all its lingerie from China instead of the UK, says Ms Gold.
"The sex toys have always come from Hong Kong, but I used to be proud to say our lingerie was made in Britain," she says.
"Unfortunately we ultimately had to switch to China because the suppliers in this country just could not cope. [By contrast] in China they are so set up for huge orders."
The business also had to put up with copycat companies along the way, but Ms Gold says she was able to see them off by focusing on offering both better quality products and customer service.
And she has successfully fought against regulatory constraints against the business, such as winning a 2003 court case against the UK government to allow Ann Summers to advertise for staff at job centres.
Although Ann Summers' bricks and mortar stores were affected by the last recession, with a few closing, sales have since recovered. At the same time, online turnover has continued to rise strongly.
Ms Gold says the parties part of the business also remains popular, especially for women over 35, while those aged 18 to 25 are the primary customers of the physical stores.
While still a very much hands-on chief executive, in her spare time Ms Gold likes to mentor other female entrepreneurs, and lobby the government to help improve gender equality in business.
But how does she respond to any suggestion that she is only successful because of her father giving her the top job at Ann Summers?
"That amuses me," says Ms Gold. "When I'm asked that question I say that if it wasn't for my success at Ann Summers he wouldn't have been able to buy two football clubs - Birmingham City and [then] West Ham.
"I'm glad in my own indirect way to have played a big part in that... but I built up Ann Summers on my own."
The 32-year-old defender, who joined from local rivals Nottingham Forest in 2012, has a year to run on the three-year deal he signed in 2014.
Morgan told BBC East Midlands Today: "I love it here and would love to stay.
"But now I am focusing on what we can achieve as a group and trying to get over that finishing line."
Morgan added: "First and foremost I need to concentrate on the pitch and see what happens after that."
The Foxes have 53 points and are two points clear at the top of the table with 12 games remaining.
North London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham have 51 points, with Manchester City in fourth place on 47 points.
Myuran Sukumaran and Andrew Chan would be executed together because they had committed their crime at the same time, Attorney General MS Prasetyo said.
Sukumaran's appeal for clemency was rejected last week. Chan is still waiting for a response to his appeal.
Indonesia's use of the death penalty in drugs cases has been widely criticised.
Australia opposes the death penalty and its government has said it will continue to campaign for its citizens who are facing execution abroad.
Rights group Amnesty International has urged the Indonesian government to halt executions immediately, and eventually abolish the death penalty.
Indonesia has some of the world's toughest drug laws. The country resumed executions in 2013 after an unofficial four-year moratorium.
No executions were carried out in 2014. However, President Joko Widodo has said he will not grant clemency to anyone on death row who was convicted of drugs offences.
Six people are due to be executed this Sunday, Mr Prasetyo said. Five of the six have foreign citizenship. The executions will mark the first use of the death penalty since Mr Widodo took office in October.
No date has been set for the execution of Sukumaran and Chan, and Chan has yet to receive a response from the Indonesian president to his appeal for a pardon.
Mr Prasetyo told reporters that the men would have their sentences carried out simultaneously.
"When a crime is committed by more than one person, the execution must be conducted at the same time," he said. "So Myuran will wait for his turn."
Sukumaran, from Sydney, was one of nine Australians arrested in Bali in April 2005 with more than 8.3kg (18lb) of heroin.
He and Chan were named as ring leaders of the group and sentenced to death in 2006.
The eight men and one woman of the Bali Nine were aged between 18 and 28 at the time of their arrests.
Following various appeals, the other seven are now serving either life or 20 years in prison.
Executions are carried out by firing squad in Indonesia.
The motorway was closed northbound for more than eight hours between junction 9 at Bicester and junction 10 at Cherwell Valley services, following the crash at about 07:45 GMT.
Thames Valley Police said one man died at the scene and another person was "critically ill".
Six people were seriously injured and more than 50 have minor injuries.
Police said the person who was critically injured had been taken to hospital, along with those who had been seriously injured and six people with minor injuries.
A further 49 people were assessed at the scene.
The family of the man who died have been informed, police said.
Ch Insp Henry Parsons, of Thames Valley Police, said: "The cause of this collision is under investigation, however, we believe that fog played a major part.
"This has been an extraordinarily large collision, we have not had a collision on this scale for many years in Thames Valley and one man has sadly lost his life."
He added it was a "serious blessing" more people were not killed in the pile up.
The road was closured during investigations and reopened at about 16:30.
Four miles of queues had been reported northbound, with delays of about an hour, according to BBC Travel.
A couple of southbound lanes were also shut along the same stretch.
The Highways Agency also warned of "significant delays" on the diversion routes.
On Twitter, Zara Smith, 31, who was stuck at junction 9, said a number of lorries had jackknifed in "thick fog".
"It was very dense, you could probably see about two cars in front of you when we stopped and that was it," she said.
BBC Berkshire reporter Tim Dellor, who was on his way to Derby for the football match against Reading, said he was held up in the diversion along the B430.
"Part of the problem is all the diverted traffic is congested down these narrow B roads," he said.
"The M1 is closed as well, and the trains have problems with a landslip so it's very difficult for any football fans, or anybody else for that matter, travelling north."
Drivers also faced more delays as two Boeing 747 fuselages were transported along the M4 and M5 from Cotswold Airport in Gloucestershire to a scrapyard in Herefordshire.
More than a dozen vehicles are still standing where they crashed - front wings missing or bumpers crumpled, pressed together at odd angles.
Towards the back of the crush, which reaches right back to the slip road onto the motorway at junction 9, there's a white lorry with a large gash in its side.
The brown boxes it was delivering are clearly visible inside. Next to it sits a private ambulance. In front, a black mini with most of its front gone.
Police investigators have marked the position of each car on the tarmac in yellow spray paint.
Where many other cars have already been moved, there's a thick layer of debris scattered right across all three lanes.
Gay rights campaigners Stonewall launched the initiative, Right Behind Gay Footballers, which is backed by a leading chain of bookmakers.
It is incongruous to run a campaign aiming to change football culture whilst using language which reinforces the very stereotypes and caricatures that, in the long term, ensure that homophobia persists
FvH's full statement
But other equality bodies are concerned about language used by the campaign.
Some clubs, such as Manchester United, have chosen not to wear the laces.
But Everton, who are sponsored by the same bookmakers, have said some of their players will wear them.
Toffees manager Roberto Martinez said: "The players are well aware of the meaning of the campaign and we are happy to support it."
Queens Park Rangers midfielder Joey Barton has also backed the campaign, which has received a positive response on social media sites.
Stonewall sent laces to all 92 professional teams in England and 42 professional teams in Scotland on Monday and is also promoting a billboard campaign around the UK.
But Football v Homophobia (FvH), another body aiming to improve education on the subject and who rejected the chance to work on this initiative, said terms such as 'Right Behind Gay Footballers' reinforced "stereotypes that ensure homophobia exists" and "blurred the territory" between homophobic language and football banter.
FvH said a number of people had already written innuendo-laden phrases on bookmaker Paddy Power's Facebook page.
It also said Brighton and Hove Albion Supporters' Club had recently called on authorities to help tackle homophobic abuse at Brighton games which was often dismissed as 'banter'.
Four months ago, in the wake of a report showing overwhelming homophobic abuse at matches, the Brighton & Hove Albion Supporters' Club (BHASC) called on the football authorities for help tackling abuse aimed at fans, often couched as 'banter'.
"We applaud the sentiments behind the idea central to the 'Rainbow Laces' campaign, namely solidarity with gay players," FvH said in a statement.
"[But] we feel it is incongruous to run a campaign aiming to change football culture whilst using language which reinforces the very stereotypes and caricatures that, in the long term, ensure that homophobia persists."
Stonewall told BBC Sport it teamed up with Paddy Power because it can "talk the language of fans and players" and, while the slogan might be risque, the "overall message was to make sure that homophobic abuse does not have a place in the game".
A spokesman said: "We don't think it's comparable to the worst abuse. Overall, it is encouraging and engaging support for gay players and attempts to kick homophobia out of football."
While several clubs BBC Sport has spoken to regarded the campaign as raising an important issue, the lack of notice given them and the campaign's links to a bookmaker known for publicity stunts have caused a few problems.
In 2012, Paddy Power had a TV advert suspended after it encouraged viewers to guess the gender of women at the Cheltenham horse racing festival.
The underlying message behind this campaign is a good one. However, we were not consulted about this particular campaign.
Paddy Power's involvement has also presented problems for clubs backed by different betting partners, while some clubs have said they will continue to support key issues via groups such as Kick it Out.
A spokesman for the bookmaker said Stonewall was consulted throughout the project and it was careful to try to strike the right balance between a campaign that would make an impact and one that would not cause offence.
He added it was the bookmaker's belief that there was no place for homophobia in football and the response from Stonewall and the Gay Football Supporters Network had been positive so far.
The Premier League said in a statement that it would leave it up to individual clubs and players to decide whether they should support new campaign.
It said: "The underlying message behind this campaign is a good one. Indeed, we and our clubs have worked hard with government and other stakeholders to ensure the whole equalities agenda is something we are fully aware of and engaged in.
"However, we were not consulted about this particular campaign. Had we been involved earlier in the process, we could have worked with Stonewall... and would be happy to talk to them in the future to discuss ways in which we could work together."
The FA has taken a similar view and a spokesman said: "While anti-homophobia messaging is something we are supportive of, our preference is for consultation and involvement from an early stage, especially in consideration of commercial partners and the co-ordination of approaches across the game."
Injuries have hit my old club hard, especially in attack and with the more creative players in their squad, but there are other reasons Slaven Bilic's side are struggling for form.
Last weekend's 4-2 defeat by Watford was a good example of their current issues.
The Hammers started well then got a bit complacent and stopped doing the basics - working hard for each other, allied with good organisation - that helped them do so well last season.

If you compare their focus, discipline and the intensity of their play then, to what we have seen from them so far in 2016-17, it is no wonder their performances and results have dropped off.
Their only league win so far came against Bournemouth, when they kind of fell over the line with a late winner against 10 men. Against most other Premier League teams they would not have got away with it, but fortunately for them they were up against another team who looked a little bit undercooked early in the season.
In every area of attack and defence, West Ham are less effective so far than they were last season, when they finished seventh.
It is very early days but Bilic has a lot of work to do to get them back to that level, and he has to do it quickly.
Looking at the fixture list, West Ham have got a run of games next where you would expect them to pick up some points, especially at home.
Things have to improve soon because the last thing they need in their first season at their new ground is a situation where they are stuck near the bottom of the table.
The longer this bad start continues, the more it will play on the minds of the players and the fans that their first season after leaving Upton Park is going to be spent battling relegation, rather than pushing for the top six again.
I don't think the West Ham team is lacking ability-wise, or in terms of physical fitness. It is mentally where they just do not seem to be at it so far.
Part of that can be put down to the stadium move. London Stadium is a fantastic arena and a great platform for the players to express themselves, but it also brings added pressure.
Last season, Upton Park was a fortress where the Hammers went 16 games unbeaten between August and April.
It would have been hard enough to repeat that even without having to adjust to life at a new stadium, and it is understandable that they have not taken that form with them.
The trouble in the stands with standing, segregation and stewarding has hardly helped because I know a fair few fans did not want to move anyway, and they are even more unhappy now.
When I played for West Ham, we knew the Upton Park crowd would always try to lift us when we needed them.
But, for various reasons, the atmosphere at London Stadium is very different at the moment, and that needs to change.
On top of having to deal with their changed surroundings, the Hammers have also been without their superstar - Dimitri Payet - for most of the new season.
Payet had only played 23 minutes out of a possible 630 in all competitions before making his first start of the campaign against the Hornets.
Earlier in the summer there were rumours he was injured and, until the transfer window closed, there was a bit of uncertainty about whether he was staying or not. None of that helped matters.
It feels like everyone was waiting for him to come back into the team because, when he did, everything would be OK.
Despite his brilliant rabona assist at the weekend, obviously things did not work out that way.
Along with Hammers defenders James Collins (with Wales) and Angelo Ogbonna (with Italy), Payet was involved in the latter stages of Euro 2016, which I think is another factor here.
Because of the emotion and adulation surrounding the France team that he was a part of, it would not surprise me if the summer is still affecting him in some way.
If so, I could understand it because I had a similar situation when I was at West Ham and went to the 2002 World Cup with England.
I look back and think physically I was all right - I had not lost a lot of fitness because I was even cycling to keep ticking over when I went on holiday to the south of France after getting back from Japan and South Korea.
But mentally I was not ready and, when I came back, it took me two or three months to really find my feet again.
What happened to the Hammers that season should be a warning too - we started really badly, winning only one of our first eight games, and ended up being relegated with 42 points.
It is a shame that a situation as significant as the one we saw in the stands on Saturday was allowed to happen, but I think those off-field problems can be resolved.
A police presence and properly trained stewards who understand a football crowd will make a big difference, and improving the lines of communication between the supporters and the board would help a lot too.
Some fans will still be unhappy, of course, because they did not want to leave Upton Park, but I do think the move is a positive one. The new stadium is fabulous and they are very fortunate to get it. It has brought something extra to the Premier League already.
On the pitch, I am confident Bilic can get his group of players back together again, in terms of their team spirit and work ethic.

They need to keep creating chances the way they did against Watford but, as a team, they need to defend much better. I am not just picking on the defence and goalkeeper there because that has to start from the front with the centre-forward.
Last season they made it difficult for the opposition to break them down and did not concede many goals but if everyone does not dig in and work hard then it becomes very difficult.
Too many players seem distracted at the moment, when they really need to be focused on the new task in front of them.
It is easy when you are playing football with freedom, like this team did when things were going well last year, but at the moment things are harder because they are in a battle and they do not appear to be ready for it.

In the early hours of 7 October, the pound fell by about 9% against the dollar - an abnormally large swing in two such widely traded currencies - before then largely recovering.
The BIS says there were no significant losses suffered by traders.
But it says lessons should be learned.
The BIS report, which drew on detailed analysis by the Bank of England, says the conditions for such a move were created by the lack of sterling dealers in the market at the time of day.
The trade took place in Asian markets, at a time of day when key sterling counter traders in London and other important Western markets are not operating.
The BIS does not point to an actual event or piece of news for causing the crash, but reports at the time suggested a headline in the Financial Times quoting French president Francois Hollande pressing for a "hard Brexit", an outcome commonly thought to preclude a smooth transition, prompted some selling.
The flurry of trading, whatever the cause, included automatic deals.
Some of these were stop-loss orders - designed to simply sell a holding that has reached a price below which it will lose money for the investor - and algorithmic trades, which can be triggered by a host of factors, including, it is thought, certain types of news announcements.
The BIS said: "The report concludes that the time of day played a significant role in making the sterling foreign exchange market more vulnerable to imbalances in order flow.
"Significant demand to sell sterling to hedge options positions and the execution of stop-loss orders as the currency depreciated also had an impact. The presence of staff with less expertise in the suitability of particular algorithms for the market conditions appears to have amplified the movement."
When the sudden fall happened, one theory was that it was a mistake, a so-called "fat finger" trade.
Others blamed the automated nature of the market.
The BIS report says these sudden moves appear to be happening more frequently as the market becomes faster and more automated, and market participants should consider how to ride these out.
It says there are direct lessons from the flash event.
Its Foreign Exchange Working Group is developing the new code of conduct for currency markets, the FX Global Code.
It wants market participants to consider the disruptive consequences of their trading activity, governance around algorithmic execution of trades, and how market participants might best determine the low (or high) point of pricing in a flash event.
"Since such events have the potential to undermine confidence in financial markets and impact the real economy, it is important for policymakers to continue to develop a deeper understanding of modern market structure and its associated vulnerabilities," said Guy Debelle, chairman of the BIS's Markets Committee. | October's flash crash in sterling was caused by several factors - including the time of day - according to a report by the international banking body, the Bank for International Settlements. | 38,607,480 | 591 | 40 | false |
The 31-year-old made the comments as he revealed he will be out "for a while" to undergo right shoulder surgery.
Degale is the IBF super-middleweight champion, while fellow Briton Groves holds the WBA super-middleweight belt.
"Groves has gone backwards," said DeGale. "I'm not being disrespectful but he's not got the same sharpness."
Beijing 2008 Olympic gold medallist DeGale added: "He has, however, fulfilled his dream of becoming world champion and it makes our potential rematch even bigger."
"Negotiations will be difficult and the terms will have to be right for the fight to be made."
Groves, who beat DeGale six years ago to win the British super-middleweight title in a majority points decision, won a world title at the fourth attempt by stopping Russian Fedor Chudinov last month to claim the WBA belt.
DeGale's last outing saw a unification fight between him and Sweden's Badou Jack end in a controversial majority draw.
DeGale said a fight scheduled for 1 July had been agreed with Callum Smith but that he "decided to go down the WBC route and will challenge for the vacant world title later this year".
On his injury, he added: "My arm will be in a sling for a few days and I'll be given exercises to do on my own.
"A few weeks later, I'll start my rehab with my physio and within eight to 10 weeks I should be able to spar. I will definitely be able to fight before the end of the year."

Zhang won the opening frame but Selby then took control, scoring two fifties and two centuries for a stylish win.
World number one Selby said: "That's the best I have played in the tournament. I felt good."
Ronnie O'Sullivan and Shaun Murphy went through with 6-2 wins in the afternoon, while Marco Fu thrashed Oliver Lines 6-0 in the other evening match.
England's Selby, the 2012 UK champion who will play either John Higgins or Mark Allen in the last eight on Friday, said: "It's a tough game either way.
"They are both quality players. Hopefully this might be the year I win a second title."
Lines, 21, the world number 61, had chances in all of the first three frames but world number 15 Fu took advantage of his opponent's mistakes and finished with a flourish, scoring a classy 118 in frame four.
The 2008 runner-up faces either David Gilbert or Jamie Jones in Friday's quarter-finals after ending Leeds professional Lines' fine run.
World number six Murphy said a change of balls was behind his victory over China's Zhou Yuelong.
The Nottingham man made breaks of 96, 110, 80 and 79 after the mid-session interval to set up a last-eight meeting with Luca Brecel or Stephen Maguire.
Murphy has long advocated replacing or repolishing the balls regularly - a process he says helps avoid kicks and bad contact.
"When the balls go where they're meant to, you get good games," said the 34-year-old. "In the first four frames we were all at sea.
"Pretty much every third or fourth shot there was a kick or a bad bounce. It made us both look silly and could have been 4-0 either way. The new set of balls completely changed the match."
Murphy had also led 5-2 in the third round, against Welshman Dominic Dale, but only scraped through 6-5.
The 2008 UK champion was delighted with the way he closed out the match against the Chinese teenager - one of the game's rising stars.
"I was very pleased my day's work," added Murphy.
"When I got to 5-2, I took my chance rather than being worried about ifs, buts and maybes."

The Belgian has never worked in Africa before nor in international football.
"My target is to help the team rise on the Fifa rankings but the most important thing is that there is a good style of play," the Belgian said.

His first task will be later in April against Madagascar in the African Nations Championship, the tournament for locally-based players.
Malawi have been looking for a permanent coach since July last year the Football Association of Malawi (Fam) cut ties with Ernest Mtawali a month before the end of his contract.
"We are on a revival campaign to get back to winning ways and you know we are participating in the Africa Cup of Nations and CHAN competitions in the next year, so we want our performance to be better," Fam president Walter Nyamilandu said.
"We are meeting the African champions Cameroon, we are meeting Morocco who are coached by the two-time Africa Cup of Nations winner Herve Renard.
"For us to compete against the best in the world we need to have the right man behind the national team and that is why we said let us look for an expatriate coach."
The Fam president added that Malawi's results in the past two years have not been good and he believes Van Geneugden will turn things around.
"To turn around things for Malawi we needed new mentality and a new attitude and that what we believe the Belgian will help us achieve," he explained.
Van Geneugden was picked out of some 65 coaches and the highlight of his career so far was in 2010 when he helped Heverlee Leuven to promotion into the topflight of Belgian football.
In a change from the past Fam will cover Van Geneugden's salary rather than the government, who have said they can no longer pay a foreign coach's wages.
In December, 10,200 more people were listed as jobless, breaking President Francois Hollande's promise joblessness would fall by the year end.
The French unemployment rate is now 11.1%. It went up by 5.7% in 2013, and rose 0.3% in December.
In Ankara, Turkey, Mr Hollande said ahead of the release: "Stabilisation, which we have achieved, is not enough."
Mr Hollande, whose popularity is languishing at record lows, had made reversing the trend in unemployment one of his top priorities last year.
The French Labour Ministry said the rate of unemployment appeared to be slowing, with 177,800 people joining the jobless register in 2013 compared to 283,800 in 2012.
But economist Eric Heyer at think tank OFCE said most of the improvement was due to state-sponsored jobs rather than a real recovery in the broader economy.
He said Hollande's tax break plans would not come to fruition until at least 2016, ruling out any quick turnaround in the labour market.
Mr Heyer added: "For the private sector to create jobs, you need growth stronger than 1%, whereas the government sees growth of 0.9% this year."
Earlier this month the French president had announced tax breaks for companies that committed to hiring more workers, in an effort to ease unemployment.
He also promised that by 2017 he would phase out 30bn euros ($41bn, £25bn) of charges paid by companies for family benefits - if they accept targets for hiring and domestic investment.
The firm said it would send out 300 prototype Steam Machines, which are designed for use in the living room.
The company added that other manufacturers would begin selling devices running its games-focused operating system SteamOS next year.
The move was described as "audacious" by one analyst, but another had doubts about who would buy the devices.
Console makers - including Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft - typically do not let the public take hold of their hardware until it is ready for release.
Valve currently offers its Steam platform as software running on others' systems - Microsoft's Windows, Apple's Mac OS, Sony's PlayStation 3 and various Linux-based software. It acts as a marketplace and a way for gamers to play against each other and share titles.
Valve uses Steam to promote its own games - including Half Life, Portal, and Dota 2 - as well as those written by third-party developers, from whom it takes a cut of the sales.
It does not release sales statistics - but estimates from consultancy IHS Screen Digest suggest Steam is responsible for 75% of PC game sales, bringing in about $1bn (£620m) in 2012.
There are close to 3,000 games on the service.
Valve said that members of the public picked would receive a "high-performance prototype" designed for users who wanted "the most control possible" over their hardware.
"The input from testers should come in many forms: bug reports, forum posts, concept art, 3D prints, haikus, and also very publicly stated opinions," it said.
It acknowledged that the majority of games in its library would not run natively on its equipment during the beta trial, but added that "the rest will work seamlessly via in-home streaming", indicating that they can be used if run on another PC.
The firm said a "small number" of applicants would be chosen according to their past contributions to its community, but the majority would be picked at random.
It added that those taking part would receive the boxes this year and could make changes to the hardware and software, including the installation of another operating system.
The news comes two days after the company unveiled details of SteamOS. A third announcement is scheduled for Friday.
"It's an audacious idea to release a Linux-based system this late in the game," said Lewis Ward, a video games analyst at market research firm IDC.
"They're going to listen very closely to their customers to see what works and doesn't work and they will crunch a lot of numbers - what we call big data.
"People may find the experience much worse than existing consoles - and it's natural to compare things - but I assume that Valve has done its homework in advance and is not going to put this out there into their hands until it feels that it's solid."
However, another industry watcher said he was surprised more information had not been provided, adding that Valve still had to prove why consumers needed another box to connect to their TV.
"I don't know who they are trying to sell the Steam Box to," said Rob Crossley, associate editor of Computer And Video Games news site.
"If they are trying to sell it to the PC audience you're saying to someone who has already purchased a £1,000 machine that they should buy another £500 machine on top to play the same games in a different room.
"That is strange proposition and I struggle to think that will be successful."
Valve has indicated, however, that a forthcoming announcement about a controller might help woo the public.
"We have some more to say very soon on the topic of input," it said on its site.
The company's founder, Gabe Newell, told the BBC in March that it was working on a way to use sensors to measure a gamer's body states.
"If you think of a game like Left For Dead - which was trying to put you into a sort of horror movie - if you don't change the experience of what the player is actually feeling then it stops being a horror game," he explained.
"So, you need to actually be able to directly measure how aroused the player is - what their heart rate is, things like that - in order to offer them a new experience each time they play."
Mr Crossley said that this could be a winning idea.
"Valve two years ago hired a behavioural psychologist to read different things that happen to the player as they play video games," he said.
"The intriguing thing is that if a game can know how you are feeling then all of a sudden some incredible things can happen. When you are calm it can spook you, when you are stressed and fatigued it can reduce the challenge.
"This is in some ways a utopian vision for the future of video games."
Pictures posted on social media show a crowd of people holding and touching a dolphin in the city of Santa Teresita.
The photos sparked condemnation from wildlife experts and social media users.
The Franciscana dolphin is vulnerable to extinction, and conservationists say only 30,000 of them live in the wild.
An Argentine wildlife foundation said that two dolphins were found by beach-goers and that at least one of them was dead.
A video of the incident appears to show a man taking one dolphin from the sea and walking around with it.
In pictures posted on Facebook, dozens of people are seen around the animal, touching it and taking photos.
It is not clear if the dolphin was alive or already dead or if the images are of the same animal.
The Franciscan or Del Plata dolphin is one of the smallest in the world, measuring between 1.3m (4.2ft) and 1.7m (5.5ft), the foundation said. They can be found only in Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay.
After the images emerged, the Vida Silvestre Foundation, a conservation group, issued a warning, telling people to help the animal return to the water if they are found stranded "so history will not repeat itself".
Users on social media also condemned the incident, with many calling it the result of "stupidity" and "ignorance".
The three-deck fishing boat carrying migrants from Libya sank on Sunday after crashing into a merchant rescue ship, in what the UN has called the deadliest incident in the Mediterranean ever recorded.
Only 28 people survived - four were children.
Italian prosecutors say the migrants paid between $700 (£466) and $7,000 (£4,665) to be on board, having been forced to stay on a farm in Libya for up to a month before the journey.
While there, prosecutors say, the migrants were subject to abuse and there are reports of deaths due to violence and exhaustion.
One boy who boarded a dinghy early was killed by the smugglers and thrown overboard.
Two boys rescued from the boat, aged 16 to 17, recall hearing screams from people locked in the hold below.
Said, 16, from Somalia, told Save the Children he heard the smugglers say they would try to get 1,200 people on the ill-fated trawler and people were beaten to board it.
His parents - who have eight other children - handed him over to Sudanese traffickers last summer in the hope he could join relatives in Norway.
He was held prisoner by armed smugglers for nine months at the Libyan border, while his parents raised the money to pay for his journey.
He said he saw other children there die from sickness and starvation.
He was taken in a rubber dinghy to the fishing boat and beaten by the smugglers to get on board.
"They stopped at 800 because it was full. We couldn't even move. There was no food or water. The people that were put below were locked underneath."
He said the smugglers raised a call for help after the boat ran into trouble. When people saw the lights of the rescue boats everyone began to move to one side and the boat inclined until it turned over completely, he recalled.
Bangladeshi teenager Abdirizzak said there were three classes of passengers and those who had the least money were stuffed into the hold of the boat and locked inside.
He told Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera: "We were on the middle level and only those who paid more were above."
He described the moment the collision happened in pitch darkness.
"Everyone was screaming, pushing, punching, elbowing - terrified. From below we could hear those who were locked in shouting 'Help, Help!'
"I don't know how but somehow we managed to swim outside just in time before the boat went down."
Another Bangladeshi survivor Riajul, 17, told the Daily Telegraph: "People panicked - they all ran to the other side of the deck. That's what tipped us over.
"Most of the other migrants were African and they didn't know how to swim. I did and that's why I survived," he said.
Nassir, 17, from Bangladesh told Corriere paying $900 (£598, €836) for a seat on the deck saved his life.
He said: "We were about 30, no more. The others were all inside, closed."
"We raced to the bow and the boat sank in five minutes," he said describing the moment the trawler crashed.
He managed to survive by clinging to a bin.
"I heard the cries for help of those who had been locked in the hold. We were at sea half an hour before the merchant lowered a rope and saved us," he said.
One of the medics, who arrived at the scene after the trawler had disappeared into the sea, said: "We found, literally, a floating cemetery. Bodies were everywhere.
"With the dinghies we had to literally slalom among the corpses,'' said Enrico Vitello, a 22-year-old medic from the Order of Malta.
Hearing screams, they stopped the engines and shined a spotlight, spotting someone in the sea.
"We got close by and rescued him,'' said Giuseppe Pomilla, a 30-year-old medic. "He asked our names and where we were from. We told him we were Italians and came to rescue him. He was so happy.''
Soon after, a boy floating in the sea grabbed their attention.
"We couldn't understand if he was alive or dead. He had his eyes wide open looking at us. He was not blinking, not moving or talking. We only realized he was alive when he grabbed us suddenly,'' Mr Pomilla said.
When they took him on board, he "exploded in tears'', the medic said.
The 20-year-old, who had a spell at Wrexham earlier this season, will join the side as cover and is available for Saturday's match with Walsall.
Meanwhile, the Spireites have recalled striker Armand Gnanduillet from his brief loan with Oxford United.
The 23-year-old Ivorian only made four appearances without scoring for the U's over a three-week period.
State media's announcement that families will be allowed two children if one parent is an only child triggered immense public interest and soon became one of the top trending topics on the Twitter-like Sina Weibo microblogging site.
Weibo user Shophiecho said he was "welling up", while Daddy2010 exclaimed: "This is the happiest news I have seen this year!"
Some have decided to put Beijing's new thinking into practice right away.
"To implement the leadership's new policy, we will get down to work tonight and secure a second baby," said Hevi2011.
Many would-be parents who are only children without siblings are relieved that their children will not have to endure the kind of loneliness they experienced.
"The next generation is saved from the suffering I went through as a lonely single child," said Backstage Monitor.
Allowing more people to have two children also means parents can get better care when they grow old, because "an only child is not just too lonely but also won't be able to take care of his parents in old age," as Stockholder commented.
Some netizens are already predicting a baby boom.
"Will next year, the Year of the Horse, see a peak of childbirth?" asked Yaxin.
But rising childcare costs in Chinese cities mean that many potential beneficiaries of the new policy will not be able to take advantage of it.
"I cannot even afford to raise one. How can I have another one?" said Little House.
Though most online comments have been positive about the new policy, some netizens lamented that the change has come too late for them.
Mxe, an apparent victim of China's draconian birth control measures, complained: "If this had been implemented earlier, I would not have lost my job."
Many people who would have wanted a second baby can no longer have one as they have passed their childbearing age.
"I've turned 44, and now you are telling me I can have a second baby," said Aoe518.
Some commentators suggested that the policy shift has come too late not just for individual families but also for the country as a whole.
Weibo user Unstoppable Future found the change "disappointing", saying: "Our reform and development needs a lot of manpower! China's shrinking workforce is already seriously affecting its GDP!"
Quite a few netizens blamed the slow pace of change on the government department in charge of China's family planning policy, which has allegedly insisted on maintaining the tight restrictions not for the benefit of the country but for its own selfish departmental interests.
"The Family Planning Commission has hijacked the state," commented Weibo user Haizhou.
In fact, the National Population and Family Planning Commission was merged into the Ministry of Health in March this year to form a new body called the National Health and Family Planning Commission.
But to some internet users, as long as the words "family planning" are still included in the title of the new body, its widely resented predecessor still exists.
"Disband the Family Planning Commission!" shouted user Big Dream VIP.
The sentiment was echoed by Zhou Fengtao, who asked, "Can't you completely liberalise childbirths and give the rights back to the people!"

As with the first game, which ended 2-2, the Danes had the better of the first half, but Scotland were the stronger side in the second.
Frankie Brown deflected in an own goal from an early Denmark corner.
Following a good spell of Scotland pressure, the influential Little converted from the spot in the 76th minute after a handball.
Head coach Anna Signeul made six changes to Friday's starting XI.
Shannon Lynn replaced Gemma Fay in goal, with the Scotland captain due to have an MRI scan in Edinburgh on Wednesday after injuring her left ankle in the first game.
Starts were also given to Rachel Corsie, Jo Love, Lisa Evans, Lizzie Arnot and Erin Cuthbert, while Denmark made five changes.
The game had barely started before Scotland were behind. A corner from the right was deflected past Lynn by right-back Brown. It was a dreadful goal to lose and it set the tone for the first half.
They very nearly scored from an identical corner 16 minutes later when captain Pernille Harder, who plays for Wolfsburg, was unmarked to send in a powerful header. Lynn made an excellent save low to her right, though Cypriot referee Trattou Leontious had spotted an infringement.
Scotland were struggling to get any purchase in the game and when they did get possession the well-organised Danes were happy to let them pass the ball about in non-threatening positions.
Denmark continued to press and Lynn's work was largely confined to cutting out crosses, which she did with increasing confidence.
Signeul introduced Jenny Beattie, Leanne Crichton and Christie Murray for Brown, Arnot and Cuthbert after the interval. As in Larnaca, the substitutes had a galvanising effect.
Lynn had to make an early save from Sanne Troelsgaard, but after that most of the attacking threat came from the Scots, and particularly down the left through full-back Emma Mitchell and Lisa Evans.
The best chances fell in quick succession midway through the half. A Little shot was blocked and from the rebound Murray forced Line Johansen to make a low stop on her line. Then Little shot wide.
The equaliser arrived from a handball as Danish defender Janni Jensen attempted to block Murray's shot from just inside the box. Little stepped up to score her 47th international goal - and her first since rejoining Arsenal from Seattle Reign at the end of last year.
With Denmark being ranked six places higher, and having won seven of their eight games prior to coming to Cyprus, the two draws were a decent return for Scotland and Signeul, who will join Finland after Euro 2017.
Scotland midfielder Kim Little: "It's hard because it's January and we're just getting back into things. A lot of things can be better, but these were two reasonable performances.
"A definite positive is that we finished the games very strongly. Without a doubt we're fitter now than we ever have been in January.
"It has been worthwhile. The starting teams were different in the two games and it allows us to look at different combinations and work with different players to see what works best.
"I can't remember the last time I took a penalty - but I was happy to put that one away."

Officers were called to Homerton High Street at about midnight on 7 January where the 17-year-old from Arcola Street, Hackney, east London, was pronounced dead.
A post-mortem examination gave the cause of death as a stab wound to the chest.
Police said witnesses have come forward but have appealed for more information.
Det Ch Insp Ken Hughes said: "At this early stage in the investigation, I believe the victim was in a shop on nearby Homerton High Street.
"On leaving the shop, there appears to have been some sort of altercation with a group of three or four male youths."
Acting captain Ned Eckersley led the way with 70 not out as the Foxes reached 200-3 at the close.
Earlier, Colin Ingram made his highest Glamorgan score of 137, but his dismissal marked a turning point.
Clint McKay and Ben Raine ran through the Glamorgan tail to limit their first-innings lead to six runs.
Ingram's innings lasted 230 balls and included 21 fours and two sixes, showing why his return to full fitness after struggling with a knee injury could be so valuable for Glamorgan.
But Leicestershire made steady progress in the evening sun before Eckersley and Mark Pettini accelerated in a stand of 91 as batting conditions remained good.
Leicestershire captain Ned Eckersley told BBC Radio Leicester:
"It was good to put together a couple of partnerships, first with Paul Horton and then with Mark Pettini, because the game was in a tight position, and by no means are we ahead of the game - we're going to have to come back and do all the right things and hammer home the advantage.
"We're looking to win the game, and the aim will be to put ourselves in a position where we can make the call."
Glamorgan batsman Colin Ingram told BBC Wales Sport:
"It was nice to spend some time in the middle, I learnt a whole bunch in the first season I played here (2015), and I'm trying to use that at the moment.
"With the sun shining the bowlers ran in hard, the wicket was flattish in the afternoon but it would have been nice to get one or two more- we'll have a good rest and come out firing."
Gerard and Teresa Hughes said the gang demanded more than £3,000 from their son, Ronan, and then sent images of him to his friends on social media.
Speaking to the Irish News, they criticised police "inaction" after the 17-year-old revealed what was going on.
Police said they hoped to meet the family to discuss their concerns.
Det Ch Supt Brian Hanna said: "Our enquiries are continuing into what will be a complex and protracted investigation, and we will keep the family informed of any progress as appropriate.
"The office of the Police Ombudsman for Northern Ireland is also best placed to deal with any complaints in relation to police actions."
Ronan's parents told the newspaper that his death, less than two weeks ago, could have been prevented.
At the time, it was believed the Coalisland teenager was tricked into posting pictures online, and police said they are investigating whether he was being blackmailed.
Speaking for the first time since their son's death on 5 June, the couple described their son's online blackmailers as "relentless".
They said he was being blackmailed over images he posted online after receiving photographs from a girl.
His mother said: "We want there to be changes so if a child out there is being bullied online they can go to the police or other authorities with their concerns.
"We don't want another family to go through what we've gone through."
Ronan's parents told the Irish News that their son, a pupil at St Joseph's Grammar in Donaghmore, had confided in them three days before his death about a fake Facebook account.
He said the blackmailers said they would send the images to his online friends unless he paid £3,300 within 48 hours.
Ronan died just hours after learning that his blackmailers had carried out their threat.
His parents believe he would still be alive if his case had been treated more urgently by the Police Service of Northern Ireland.
"His biggest worry was that his friends would see these images, " Mr Hughes said.
But when he took his son to Dungannon police station, they were told there was only one officer on duty.
"A policeman said to us there was very little they could do as he was there on his own that night.
"He scribbled down a few notes and told us to ignore the blackmail. He told us to come back the next morning.
"I knew Ronan was looking for help and I told him that all my son wanted is for these images not to be posted. He told us that he couldn't guarantee that. For Ronan, it was totally dismissive."
He said if the police had given Ronan an assurance that they would close the site down, he "would still be here today".
They returned to the police station the next day where they spent several hours and Ronan's phone was taken.
However, they heard nothing more from the police.
The Nigerian site was closed within two days of the tragedy.
Red Bull are expected to mount a strong challenge to dominant Mercedes, based on the track's similarities to Monaco.
Ricciardo was on pole in Monaco and dominated the race until a pit-stop error handed victory to Lewis Hamilton.
"It is the next closest track to Monaco so we look at it as a good chance to try to get a victory on our side," Ricciardo said.
Asked if he was favourite for the weekend, Ricciardo joked: "We have a good chance of the top 10, absolutely. That's about it."
He added: "Let's see. I am not going to put too much pressure on myself or them. Deep down, we obviously want to win, and we are winners. Let's see what happens, but I am definitely excited."
Ricciardo's team-mate Max Verstappen, who won the Spanish Grand Prix in May on his Red Bull debut following his promotion from Toro Rosso, said: "This track should suit us better. We don't know yet how well it will suit us, but if you look to last years and previous years, it is definitely a better track for us.
"We have good hopes we can be very competitive but how well I don't know yet. But hopefully we are very competitive like in Monaco."
Mercedes' duo Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg are separated by just two points at the top of the drivers' championship, with Ricciardo 89 points behind the Briton in third.
Hopes for a different winner have been raised by the fact that Mercedes were uncompetitive in Singapore last year and the race was won by Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel, with Ricciardo close behind in second.
Mercedes have analysed what went wrong in Singapore last year and believe they have understood the problem, which they say was rooted in their failure to get the best out of the tyres.
But Mercedes Formula 1 boss Toto Wolff said: "We weren't competitive last year and I think we understood why, made some conclusions which have helped us in the following races and throughout the season. In Singapore we are going to check whether our assumptions were right."
Ricciardo said that only if he won would he repeat his so-called 'shoey' - drinking champagne from his racing boot - which he did after finishing on the podium in Germany and Belgium.
The Australian explained that the origins of the act are in the so-called 'Mad Hueys', which he said were "a few loose Aussies - they are 'surfeys' and fishermen, they travel the world drinking and surfing and they like to do a 'shoey'."
The action has caught on - and multiple MotoGP champion Valentino Rossi did it on the podium of the Misano race in Italy last weekend.
Ricciardo said the drink "tasted nice" as long as the champagne was cold.
"The cold taste kills the bad stuff so it's delicious," he said.

There were doubts over the Australia all-rounder's fitness when he tore a knee tendon on 6 December while playing for state side Victoria.
Worcestershire initially looked to sign a replacement overseas player as cover for the first half of the season.
But Hastings has now flown into England in readiness for Worcestershire's Championship opener on 14 April.
He will link up with the rest of the squad this week when they return from the pre season camp in Abu Dhabi, where they played two matches against Warwickshire.
Before Worcestershire's Division Two campaign gets underway, they face the Leeds & Bradford MCCU students in a three-day first-class fixture at Weetwood, in Leeds, starting on 7 April.
"John is really excited and looking forward to getting going and cracking on," said new Worcestershire skipper Joe Leach, who inherited the captaincy from Daryl Mitchell over the winter months.
"He comes across as someone who is just going to be brilliant for our dressing room. I've heard a lot about him from the Durham lads and there is no-one I spoke to said a bad word about him.
"He is exactly what we need. He wants to come here and win, he wants to come here and do well for us. He has worked his backside off by all accounts to make sure he is fit to play for us and he has come over early."
Sydney-born Hastings has won one Test cap and also played 28 one-day internationals and nine T20 matches for Australia.
Hastings played in England for Durham in both 2014 and 2015, when he took seven second-innings wickets at New Road to turn a likely defeat into a Durham victory. But his hopes of returning in 2016 were thwarted by a shoulder injury.
"His qualities as a cricketer speak for themselves," said Leach. "He is someone of proven international pedigree who has taken wickets in the Sheffield Shield and has taken wickets over here for Durham."
He has also played Twenty20 cricket in the Big Bash for Melbourne Stars and for Kochi Tuskers Kerala, Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League.
Worcestershire also have New Zealand all-rounder Mitchell Santner booked to return for T20 Blast duty in July, following last year's injury-ruined campaign.
The 2009 report analyses "high value targeting" in a number of conflicts - the assassination of senior insurgents.
It said the Taliban's ability to replace lost leaders has hampered the effectiveness of coalition operations against its leadership.
The CIA would not comment on the leaked documents.
The report, which Wikileaks describes as "pro-assassination", looks at the pros and cons of "high value targeting" (HVT) programmes.
As well as examining recent actions in Iraq and Afghanistan, the report assesses British action in Northern Ireland, Sri Lankan operations against Tamil Tigers and French efforts during the Algerian civil war, among others.
Benefits of HVT operations, according to the report, include "eroding insurgent effectiveness, weakening insurgent will and reducing the level of insurgent support".
Potential negatives include "strengthening an armed group's bond with the population" and "radicalising an insurgent group's remaining leaders".
On Afghanistan, the report said that targeting senior Taliban figures has been constrained by problems connecting it to broader Afghan and Nato efforts against the organisation.
It also says the Taliban has "good succession planning and bench strength, especially at the middle levels".
Since the report was written, President Obama has increased drone strikes in north-west Pakistan, targeting Taliban and al-Qaeda leaders.
There have also been several strikes in Yemen.
Minister for London Greg Hands has questioned whether it was "appropriate" to stage a carnival near the site of a "national disaster".
But London's mayor, Sadiq Khan, has rejected the call.
And Pepe Francis, one of the carnival's organisers, said this year's event will "offer respect and solidarity" to the Grenfell Tower victims.
In a letter Mr Hands, the MP for nearby Chelsea and Fulham, urged the mayor to consider moving it "given the recent tragic events in the area".
The event "clearly" must go ahead but "we have to ask ourselves if it is appropriate to stage a carnival in the near proximity of a major national disaster", he explained.
More than a million people are expected to descend on the streets of west London to take part in the 51st annual street festival.
The carnival route passes within 500m (546yds) of Grenfell Tower, where toilets and amenities have been provided in previous years.
Mr Francis, the chair of London Notting Hill Carnival Enterprises Trust, said: "The blackened marker of Grenfell Tower casts a dark shadow over the joy and celebration of Carnival.
"We do not pretend to provide solace. But we can, and will, offer respect and solidarity."
Mr Hands also stressed the Greater London Authority (GLA) should take a greater role in running the event.
"I would like you to consider moving the location and the GLA, with its experience of running major events, taking over the carnival, in conjunction with the current organisers," he said.
However, a spokesman for Mr Khan said the festival "was born out of the African-Caribbean immigrant community in North Kensington and Notting Hill in the 1950s, and it's only right that this remains its home".
"Any attempt to impose a move to another location on the carnival, particularly at a time when the community has little trust in those in positions of authority, would be a mistake" he said.
Xinhua news agency named the suspects as Kevin and Julia Garratt. The couple run a coffee shop in Dandong just across the border from North Korea.
Xinhua said Dandong's State Security Bureau was investigating the case.
But the couple's son Simeon told the BBC the charges were "absurd" and made "absolutely no sense".
The couple taught in southern China for several years and then moved to Dandong, where they opened Peter's Coffee House.
Dandong is the main China-North Korea border crossing and trade link.
The Xinhua report did not say whether the couple had been detained.
Simeon Garratt, 27, told the BBC's Celia Hatton in Beijing that his parents had been uncontactable since Monday night.
"They were going to dinner with a couple of friends, and sometime between dinner and later that night, their phones were turned off and no one has really heard from them (since)," he said.
Mr Garratt called the charges "a joke", adding: "I thought it was absurd. It makes absolutely no sense."
He said his parents are "pretty regular people (who) don't have any ties to military or even governments or even anything like that".
Besides running the cafe, the couple regularly held community events for people to practise their English and helped people to get in touch with North Korea tour organisers, said Mr Garratt.
"Because they have been into North Korea a number of times, they just know the ropes and they're willing to help some friends who are going into North Korea," he said.
His parents speak both English and Mandarin and have developed a relationship with tour organisers.
"That's pretty much the extent of it. There's no business they operate that sends people into North Korea or anything like that," said Mr Garratt, who is a real estate agent living in Vancouver.
What qualifies as a "state secret" in China? The answer to that is a secret too.
The Chinese government's "state secrets" law is notoriously vague. Trials involving state secrets are conducted behind closed doors.
In most cases, Chinese citizens are accused of leaking state secrets to outsiders. It is extremely rare for foreigners to be accused of stealing and trafficking such sensitive information.
In 2009, an American geologist was also convicted of trading in state secrets after he attempted to purchase information about the Chinese oil industry.
One year later, an Australian was sentenced to 10 years in prison for stealing classified corporate information on behalf of the Australian mining firm, Rio Tinto.
The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs says the Canadians, Kevin and Julia Garratt, "are suspected of collecting and stealing intelligence… related to Chinese military targets and important Chinese national defence science research programs."
The Garratts ran a popular coffee shop near the North Korean border and had strong ties within the Christian missionary community. However, those activities are not illegal.
It will be difficult for those who knew the couple best to defend their relatives without understanding the sensitive information they're suspected of stealing.
Canada's embassy in Beijing told Reuters news agency it was aware of the reports and stood "ready to provide assistance as required".
Late last month, Canada announced that a top government research organisation had been struck by Chinese "state-sponsored" hackers.
The Chinese embassy in Ottawa dismissed the report as a "groundless allegation".

The festival starts on Saturday with a mass-participation one-mile open water swim across the famous lake, with 4,500 people expected to take part.
Then, on Sunday, the British Open Water Swimming Championships take place, including an elite invitation race.
Joining the swimming on both days will be Rio 2016 Olympian Jack Burnell and BBC Breakfast's Louise Minchin.
Get Inspired takes a look at the journey of four of the first-timers.
Swim motivation: It may have been 40 years ago but Carol Carter has never forgotten the joy and terror of giving birth to her son Mark, who was born 13 weeks premature.
He weighed just 1lb 13oz, and staff at West Middlesex Hospital didn't think he would survive.
Now, nearly four decades, later Mark is a healthy father and grandfather. He is also the inspiration for Carol to take on the Swim Serpentine and raise money for the charity that helped her.
Carol says: "It was a long time ago but it's not something you forget. I don't know why he came so early and he was just so small when he was born.
"I remember him being wrapped up in silver foil and whisked away. It was hard because I couldn't hold him or touch him and he was in hospital for three months. But the doctors and nurses saved his life and I'll be forever grateful. That's why I'm happy to be swimming for Tommy's.

"I was quite a good swimmer when I was younger but after I got married and had children I didn't swim for quite a long time. Then, two years ago, I joined a gym and started building up the lengths in the outdoor swimming pool.
"Open-water swimming really is special. I don't think once you have done it you go back to an indoor pool. The other morning I was out early in the morning with the sun shining overhead, there were ducks around and geese flying overhead. It was amazing."

Swim motivation: In 1984, Lee Menday was badly injured in the Falklands while serving in the Royal Navy. The injury left him in constant pain and resulted in surgery to have his lower leg amputated.
Now, at the age of 57, Lee is preparing for the Swim Serpentine, to give back to a charity who have supported him throughout.
Lee says: "It was hard at times. Physical training was the whole of my life. As part of my job in the Navy, I organised sports on my ship and on other ships. I enjoyed my career but the injury ended that.
"After my last operation I knew the place to be to start my rehabilitation was the pool. I got to the point with my swimming where I started to see progress and then I wanted to take it further - that's when Swim Serpentine came along.
"To now be in a situation where I can raise money for a charity like Blesma is great. If there has ever been an issue during my injury, the charity has been there to help and look after me."

Swim motivation: When 24-year-old Theodora Moss found out two years ago that she had Stage 2 Lymphoma it had a big impact on her life and her love for swimming.
Studying at medical school at the time, Theodora had chemotherapy while maintaining her studies. Because of her weakened immune system, she was not allowed to swim in public pools, but then found open-water swimming.
Theodora says: "As I lay in my student flat hearing friends come crashing in at 4am, I felt defeated by the injustice of it all. I simply could not believe this was happening to me.
"As my treatment came to an end and the spring arrived, I discovered the wonder of wild, open-water swimming. There were none of the coughs and colds I had to be wary of in public pools. Diving into a clear Yorkshire river I have never felt more alive.
"Every inch of my skin tingled and as the water flowed past I felt the worries wash away with it. That summer I swam as much outside as I could, from the Yorkshire Dales to Tooting Lido and the Cornish coast, and so was born a new obsession.
"Trekstock are an amazing charity run by young people for young people and their refreshing and inspiring network of young people and support programmes have helped me get my life back on track - open-water swimming included!"

Swim motivation: For 10-year-old Mae Webster, life has not been easy. At the age of two she was diagnosed with juvenile idiopathic arthritis and has spent years on medication to try to keep the condition in check.
Mae had been making a steady progress until she had a relapse this year. That spurred 33-year-old mum Keri to take on the challenge of Swim Serpentine.
Keri says: "Mae had a flare-up earlier this year and ended up back in hospital. It was then that I decided to do something. I knew I had to do something positive to help children like her, who live with this incredibly painful and debilitating condition on a daily basis.
"Mae has been really supportive of me since I started training and she has found it quite inspiring. But to me, Mae is the real inspiration. She is so strong.
"Everyone pictures childhood as running and jumping around without any problems but Mae can't do these things without being in pain.
"Arthritis is hard to understand - not just the fact that you can get it at any age, but the fact that it is often a lifelong and very invisible condition.
"Arthritis Research UK has been an invaluable source of information for us. That's why I am honoured to be raising funds for the charity, and raising awareness."

They will provide details of factories they source goods from, which will be inspected within the next nine months.
Funds will be made available for any safety upgrades needed at the units.
The legally-binding code was announced earlier this year after the collapse of a garment factory in Bangladesh in April killed more than 1,100 people.
The eight-storey Rana Plaza building came crashing down on 24 April, a day after cracks had been spotted in the building.
It was the deadliest in a series of accidents that have resulted in global attention being focussed on safety standards in Bangladesh's garments export industry, the second biggest in the world after China's.
Several big names, including Sweden's H&M, the biggest buyer of Bangladeshi-made clothes, signed up to the code after the incident.
It requires them not just to meet minimum fire and building safety standards, but also to pay for them.
Other signatories include Inditex, which owns Zara, Benetton, Metro, Carrefour, Marks and Spencer, Tesco, Esprit and Abercrombie & Fitch.
"This historic, legally binding accord will effect tangible change on the ground and help make the Bangladeshi garment industry safe and sustainable," said Jyrki Raina, general secretary of IndustriALL, a labour group which played a key role in creating the pact.
Mr Raina added that the factory fires and collapses in Bangladesh over the past few years indicated that efforts by individual retailers had "proved insufficient" in addressing the issue.
"A profound change is possible only with a strong coalition between trade unions, international brands and retailers, Bangladeshi authorities and employers, and with worker involvement in the workplace with guaranteed freedom of association."
The International Development Secretary, Justine Greening, said UK companies needed to play their part in helping raise standards: "British business must be a force for good in the developing world too, so that together we can help end aid dependency through jobs."
She said she had been talking to business leaders from the retail industry to decide how they could work with the government to improve supply chains, in order to ensure clothes were produced responsibly and conditions were improved.
Last month, US suspended trade privileges extended to Bangladesh over concerns about dangerous working conditions and labour rights.
This decision was taken after a year-long review of labour practices and workplace safety in Bangladesh.
As Ireland chased 229-7 at Stormont, Joyce was run out for 12 by Mirwais Ashraf after thinking that he had struck a four.
Joyce's frustration was clear as he made a two-fingered gesture as he walked to the pavilion.
As Irish wickets tumbled, they were dismissed for 150 in the 42nd over.
Afghanistan captain Asghar Stanikzai was asked by the umpire to withdraw his side's appeal but when the tourists refused Joyce was given out.
Ireland captain William Porterfield was batting along with Joyce during the game's big talking point and said the Sussex batsman was emphatic his shot had gone for four.
"Ed said that he saw him [the fielder] crossing the rope and flicking it back," said Porterfield.
"But the fielder has come in and said he didn't. I don't know what footage is out there but the umpires said they have to go on the fielder's word."
Joyce's century helped Ireland win at Stormont Thursday and the home side will have to win Tuesday's final game to level the series 2-2 after the first game was abandoned.
After Joyce's controversial exit, Porterfield was also run out to put the home side on 36-2 and the departures of Sean Terry and Stuart Poynter left them on 67-4.
Kevin O'Brien and Paul Stirling put on 63 for the fifth wicket but they both quickly dismissed as Ireland slumped to 134-6.

As teenage spinner Rashid Khan finished with impressive bowling figures of 4-21, the Irish were unable to sum up any late resistance as the visitors quickly wrapped up a 79-run victory.
Earlier, Afghanistan had been in a degree of trouble at 90-5 as Andy McBrine claimed two wickets but after Rahmat Shah's 48 steadied the innings, Rashid Khan's unbeaten 60 and Mohammad Nabi's 50 saw the visitors post a competitive total on the difficult batting track.
Ireland's chances were not helped by a couple of dropped catches that Porterfield admitted had been important.
"Around 200 on the pitch would have been about par." added the Ireland skipper. "We put a couple of chances down which if we had taken might have enabled us to bowl them out for around 175 or 180."
There was "no dignity" for those who died, said John McCarthy, whose 20-year-old brother Ian Glover died.
Mr McCarthy told the hearing he had seen video footage showing his dead brother with a bin liner over his face.
Ninety-six Liverpool fans died as a result of a crush at the 1989 FA Cup semi-final.
Families also complained about how the police had asked them how much alcohol they and their loved ones had drunk before the match between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest on 15 April that year.
South Yorkshire Police had set up the mortuary in the Sheffield stadium's gym as the disaster unfolded.
Mr McCarthy described seeing a "pile" of bodies inside the building.
He said that while they were watching a video, recently put together by investigators, his sister noticed something on their brother's face.
"When the camera zoomed in it was actually a bin bag, a bin liner on his face," he said. "No dignity at all, even when he was dead - a bin bag on his face."
When the body was brought out, he said his father John had to be held up "because he was on the verge of collapsing".
Mr McCarthy also told the jury he, his brother Joe and his father were all asked if they had gone into any pubs on their way to Sheffield and how much they had had to drink.
Leslie Jones gave evidence about identifying the bodies of his 25-year-old son Richard and his partner Tracey Cox, 23, inside the gym.
His daughter Stephanie had also been at the match.
Mr Jones and his wife travelled to Sheffield after hearing about what had happened.
He said: "Doreen was behind me while I was identifying the body and I stood aside for her to look and she started to go down on her knee.
"Doreen tried to get down to give him a cuddle, but the police officer pulled her up roughly and said 'Sorry, he is now the property of the coroner, you can't touch him'.
"She was distraught by that... she said to me later that she was there when he was brought into the world and she wanted to be there when he was going out of the world."
The court heard the couple went to Sheffield's Medico Legal centre three days later to try to see their son's body. Again, they were told they could not touch him but were allowed to view his body through a glass window.
Mr Jones complained to the then coroner Dr Stefan Popper, the jury heard.
"I wrote a letter about the disgraceful state of the gym that was used for the bodies. I thought it was an atrocious situation," he said.
"The noise in there was atrocious. There were people punching walls and crying and sobbing all around you. It was a terrible place to be in."
Theresa Arrowsmith, whose brothers Christopher Traynor, 26, and Kevin Traynor, 16, both died, described how police initially brought out a wrong body for her to identify.
She had already seen Christopher's and was expecting to see Kevin's.
"At that moment, I thought Kevin would still be alive," Mrs Arrowsmith said.
She added the police officer told her "Oh, I'm sorry, we've made a mistake" before he "whisked the body back and then brought the correct body out".
An officer then interviewed her and asked how much her brothers would have had to drink. She said Christopher might have had "two and a half pints".
But she recalled the officer said: "Oh, come on love, they must have had more than that?"
The officer also asked if the brothers had bought their match tickets on the black market. Mrs Arrowsmith said they were both season ticket holders at Anfield.
The officer was said to have remarked: "Oh, come on, don't put that past me."
Mrs Arrowsmith continued: "He just kept going on and on and on and I got so upset in the end I just broke down."
She said she could hear people "shouting, screaming, crying, sobbing".
She added: "There was no privacy at all. The policeman that interviewed me was getting quite agitated and I felt quite angry with me and was shouting.
"I just felt like everybody could hear. Everybody could hear everybody and it was horrible."
Martin Thompson, then 19, recalled going to identify the body of his brother Stuart, who was 17.
After finding a picture of him amongst photographs taken of the victims, he said he asked police if he could make a phone call.
He said: "I wanted to ring my mother [but was told] 'No, there's other things to do first - you've got to identify the body'."
Mr Thompson said he recognised his brother's body after seeing one of his shoes.
"I knew he was very proud of the trainers he had bought the week before," he said. "So I knew without seeing his face."
He asked again if he could call his mother but was told there were "some questions to be asked first".
He continued: "The first question asked was, what had I had to drink today? Then I was asked what Stuart had been drinking and then what time we got to the ground, did we have tickets, what time did we get in?
"I didn't think it was appropriate to ask about alcohol. I was shaking, I was anxious, I was crying.
"I'm not proud, but I did swear at the police."
Louise Brookes' brother Andrew, 26, also died in the disaster.
She described how her father was asked to look through photographs of the deceased.
She said she was "very, very angry and very, very bitter" about how he was treated.
He looked at the pictures pinned to a board but could not find Andrew.
Ms Brookes said her father George "went 'Great, he's alive'."
But, as he walked away, a police officer said: "I suggest you go and have another look because your son probably will not look like he was the last time you saw him."
She said her dad went over to a desk, which apparently had a list with Andrew's name on it.
Ms Brookes, who was 17 at the time, said: "What I'm so angry about was the fact that my brother was identified at 10:55pm. They had got Andrew's name, they had got the details and they made my father go and view those photos.
"My dad went to his grave with that memory of his son in that body bag and I'm so angry and so bitter because it's unforgivable.
"There was no organisation that night at all."
On Tuesday, Francis Tyrrell said police officers treated him and his family "like muck".
He identified the body of his son, Kevin, who was 15 and had gone to the match with two friends.
Mr Tyrrell said: "We had come to identify someone. It was like we were criminals, the way they were talking to us."
The inquests, being held in Warrington, Cheshire are now on a break for Easter - which will include the 26th anniversary of the disaster - before resuming on 20 April.
BBC News: Profiles of all those who died
Robinson, 22, had surgery in May after a heavy collision in a Pro12 game in March forced two discs in his back to protrude onto his spinal cord.
He returned to action earlier this month in a Welsh Premiership match for Llanelli RFC and could feature for Scarlets against the Dragons on Friday.
"It's a huge relief. It was a lucky escape really," said Robinson.
"When the injury first happened I wasn't too sure if I'd actually be able to come back and play rugby again."
Robinson has identified a tackle in the Pro12 loss at home to Edinburgh at the end of March last season as the cause of the injury.
Despite feeling numbness throughout his body, he stayed on the pitch, and remarkably played in the next three games. It was only after having a subsequent scan that the full extent of the injury became clear.
"I had a nasty bang in the Edinburgh game and my whole body ended up going numb. I couldn't feel my feet and I lost all sense of balance," he said.
"So I'm 99% sure that's when it happened. In the collision, I think two of my discs must have slipped and ended up going onto my spinal cord.
"It was pretty frightening but in the heat of the game you just carry on really.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"I went for a scan not long after and had the two discs that had gone into the spinal cord removed and they fused vertebrae three, four and five together. It was a big operation."
Despite the severity of the surgery, Robinson was given an encouraging prognosis over his rehabilitation.
He also found support and guidance from Scarlets and Wales hooker Ken Owens, who had surgery last year for a second slipped disc.
The biggest doubt over Robinson's recovery was whether his movement would be restricted in his neck and how much pain he would be able to tolerate.
So far there have been no problems, with Robinson coming through 60 minutes on his return to action for semi-professional side Llanelli RFC against Ebbw Vale on 17 October and then playing the whole match last Saturday in their win over Bedwas.
Such has been his progress, the wing is being considered for a rapid return to the Scarlets, who are likely to give Tom Williams, on loan from Cardiff Blues, his first start against the Dragons on Friday.
"It's great to be back on the pitch," he said. "I'm really looking forward to getting back into the main picture.
"Tom's come down and has played really well so it's going to be quite a fight to get back in there but I'm looking forward to the challenge."
Robinson, who moved from Cardiff Blues in 2014, was the top try scorer at Scarlets last season with nine tries, making him a contender to be selected for Wales' World Cup training squad.
He first broke into the national squad as a raw 18-year-old in 2012, but for now his international ambitions are on hold as he prepares to see if his neck can withstand the rigours of professional rugby.
"I'm just thankful to be able to put my boots back on in training," he said. "I'll just take it a game at a time and see what happens in the future.
"Fingers crossed over the next few weeks I'll be putting my boots back on for the Scarlets."
The developer, An Camas Mòr LLP, submitted a fresh application to vary the wording of a condition involving a landscape and ecology impact review.
This review involves 630 of the planned new homes on the proposed site near Aviemore.
The developer plans to create the community in phases.
The project has been in the planning system for about 10 years and has faced challenges from conservation groups over that time.
It was first given planning permission in principle in 2014.
The planning authority, the Cairngorms National Park Authority (CNPA), has granted planning permission in principle for the further three years.
It has recommended "a suite of conditions and other measures" that will manage the development.
Gavin Miles, head of planning and communities at the park authority, said: "There is a requirement for the applicant to demonstrate that there is not a significant impact on landscape and ecology and to prove there will be no significant adverse effects to capercaillie in Badenoch and Strathspey as a result of the proposals before any development can start."
It will mark the first time any play has been live streamed from the venue.
The broadcast will be available to online audiences for free on the Shakespeare Lives website and via the BBC iPlayer on 11 September.
The production, which opened in April, is Emma Rice's first since becoming the Globe's artistic director.
Rice said: "I'm thrilled that my first production at the Globe is being filmed in this innovative and energetic way."
The play received warm reviews from critics when it opened at the theatre, located on London's South Bank.
The live stream, which will be introduced by actress and comedian Meera Syal, will mark the final night of the play's residency at the Globe.
Shakespeare Lives is an online digital festival co-curated by the BBC and the British Council, running all year to celebrate 400 years since the playwright's death.
Cortina Butler, the director of the project, said: "We're delighted to play a part in making it possible for a truly international audience to experience a magical, modern production from Shakespeare's Globe."

Andy Masterton, who is in the final stages of motor neurone disease, was told by East Ayrshire Council that he applied too early for the benefit.
The council said the benefit was only for people who were four weeks from death at the point they were referred.
It has now said it will waive the charges in Mr Masterton's case.
Only over-65s are currently entitled to free help with washing and dressing.
Guidance from the Council of Scottish Local Authorities (Cosla) recommends that people under 65 should be given free personal care if they have a terminal illness.
Earlier this year the motor neurone disease charity, MND Scotland, criticised the variety of ways councils interpret Cosla's guidance.
The charity's chief executive Craig Stockton said it was "deeply concerning" that despite a clear statement from the health minister that people under 65 with a terminal illness, such as MND, should not be charged for personal care, East Ayrshire Council had chosen to stick with its policy.
A statement from East Ayrshire Council said there was "no legislative framework" for providing free personal care for people under 65 but it would now review its own policy.
Councillor Douglas Reid, leader of East Ayrshire Council, said "We have stated previously that we would review our charging policy when national guidance is updated.
"In recent days we have taken account of views both locally and nationally and will now progress to review our policy immediately in advance of any other update.
"Eddie Fraser, our director of health and social care, has been in direct contact with the family today and will meet them early next week. He has confirmed that, for Mr Masterton, this will mean an end to charges being applied for his care."
It says keeping access requests secret is against the US constitution, which states that individuals should be made aware if the government searches or seizes their property.
Microsoft said 5,624 requests for data were made in the past 18 months, and almost half came with a court order forcing the company to keep the demand secret.
"People do not give up their rights when they move their private information from physical storage to the cloud," Microsoft said in the lawsuit, according to the Reuters news agency.
Microsoft added that it felt the government "exploited the transition to cloud computing as a means of expanding its power to conduct secret investigations".
The US Department of Justice has not yet commented.
The case is the latest row pitting US tech giants against the government - with Microsoft rival Apple calling for Congress to take the lead in addressing the wider issue of balancing privacy with national security.
Microsoft's case centres on the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA), a 30-year-old law several tech firms feel is outdated and being abused.
In a blog post, Microsoft's president and chief legal officer Brad Smith said suing the US government was not something the company took lightly.
"We believe that with rare exceptions, consumers and businesses have a right to know when the government accesses their emails or records," Mr Smith wrote.
"Yet it's becoming routine for the US government to issue orders that require email providers to keep these types of legal demands secret. We believe that this goes too far and we are asking the courts to address the situation."
He went on to stress that Microsoft acknowledged that in some cases investigations needed to remain secret in order to keep people safe or prevent evidence from being destroyed.
However, Mr Smith added: "We question whether these orders are grounded in specific facts that truly demand secrecy. To the contrary, it appears that the issuance of secrecy orders has become too routine."
The ECPA is unpopular among technology companies as it was written well before the days of widespread internet use. The Act could soon be amended after a US congressional panel voted through several proposed reforms.
Microsoft said it wanted "reasonable rules" added to the Act so it could inform more customers about action related to their data.
"If there's a good reason to justify a secrecy order initially and that reason continues, prosecutors should be able to extend the order based on necessity," Mr Smith said.
"If not, we should be able to tell our customer what happened."
The Electronic Frontier Foundation, which campaigns for digital rights, supported Microsoft's move.
"We applaud Microsoft for challenging government gag orders that prevent companies from being more transparent with their customers about government searches of their data," said EFF staff attorney Andrew Crocker in an email.
"In nearly all cases, indefinite gag orders are an unconstitutional prior restraint on free speech and infringe on First Amendment rights. Microsoft's complaint shows it receives a staggering number of these orders.
"We look forward to assisting in this important lawsuit."

German shepherd Finn was stabbed in the head and chest in Stevenage on 5 October. His handler was also injured.
A boy has been charged with assaulting the officer, and with criminal damage in relation to Finn's injuries.
The petition, dubbed "Finn's Law" could now be debated in parliament.
Finn and his handler, PC Dave Wardell, were injured trying to apprehend a man suspected of robbing a taxi driver at gunpoint.
More on this and other news from Hertfordshire
"Finn was stabbed trying to protect me," PC Wardell said. "He got it first."
While PC Wardell was treated for a hand injury and quickly released from hospital, his dog underwent emergency surgery to save his life.
Four days later a petition was set up on the UK government's petition site, proposing that police animals - dogs and horses - "be given protection that reflects their status if assaulted in the line of duty".
Signatures have passed the 100,000 mark, at which point petitions can be considered for debate within parliament.
"There were big smiles all round when we saw the numbers today," PC Wardell said.
"We're really, really happy. It shows just how much people care about the work police dogs like Finn do."
Hertfordshire's police and crime commissioner, David Lloyd also welcomed the outcome.
"We fully embrace the sentiment behind this petition and support more recognition of the work police animals do," he said.
"Finn is a credit to the service and has been a huge part of the team, not just on this occasion."
PC Wardell said Finn is progressing well and hopes he will be able to return to active duty.
"In the meantime we have a table covered with toys and treats from well-wishers," he said.
The officer remains at home nursing Finn, seven, back to health.
"He's my soldier," he said. "Right now my job is to look after Finn."
Zebre overtook Treviso in the Italian rivalry for a place in the top-tier European Champions Cup.
Federico Ruzza and Derick Minnie's tries helped Zebre to a 15-7 lead at the break with Cory Hill responding.
Edoardo Padovani and Johan Meyer added two more for Zebre and Adam Hughes' reply was not enough for Dragons.
After fly-half Carlo Canna kicked the first of his nine points with the game's first penalty, visiting Wales lock Hill crossed and Angus O'Brien added the extras.
After Zebre made light work of a Dragons scrum, however, number eight Ruzza gathered to dive over and the hosts remained in the lead from that point on.
Flanker Minnie claimed scrum-half Marcello Violi's neat chip for a score confirmed by Irish television match official Brian MacNeice.
Wing Hughes struck back soon after the break to finish off the visitors' best attacking move.
O'Brien's conversion brought Dragons back to within a point, only for Zebre to again seize the initiative.
Full-back Padovani underlined his attacking threat by bursting clear to race over untouched after the break.
Flanker Meyer completed the comfortable win and send Zebre up to 11th, two points below Dragons with only three rounds left for these teams.
Treviso have the chance to go back above Zebre and even Dragons when they face Scarlets in Llanelli on Saturday night.

A spokesman criticised Russia for putting on a "red carpet welcome".
The Syrian leader's trip on Tuesday came three weeks after Russia began air strikes in Syria against Islamic State militants and other forces.
It was Mr Assad's first overseas trip since civil war broke out in Syria in 2011. The conflict has claimed more than a quarter of a million lives.
While in Moscow, Mr Assad made a point of expressing his gratitude for Russia's military intervention in the conflict.
He said Russia's involvement had stopped "terrorism" becoming "more widespread and harmful" in Syria.
For his part, Mr Putin said Moscow's hope was that a "long-term resolution can be achieved on the basis of a political process with the participation of all political forces, ethnic and religious groups".
The BBC's Steve Rosenberg in Moscow says that by hosting the Syrian leader, President Putin was sending a clear message to the West - that Moscow is a key player in the Middle East, and that there can be no solution to the Syrian conflict without Russia's involvement.
"We view the red carpet welcome for Assad, who has used chemical weapons against his own people, at odds with the stated goal by the Russians for a political transition in Syria," White House spokesman Eric Schultz told reporters.
A state department official said it was not surprised by the visit, but the main US concern was Russia's continued military support, which he said had emboldened the Assad government - something that would only serve to lengthen the civil war.
In the wake of Mr Assad's surprise visit, President Putin spoke to a number of Middle Eastern leaders to brief them.
They included the leaders of Saudi Arabia and Turkey, which give support to Syrian rebels.
Mr Putin also spoke to Egyptian and Jordanian leaders, Russian news agencies said.
Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said that after the visit "the Syrian government has no legitimacy left".
Analysis: Diplomatic correspondent Jonathan Marcus
President Assad's surprise visit to Moscow represents a sign of growing confidence for the embattled Syrian President.
Firstly he feels it safe to leave Damascus for the first time since the civil war in Syria erupted. It is also a visible symbol of Russia's confidence in the current Syrian regime.
The visit leaves little doubt that for now at least President Putin is intent on shoring up Mr Assad's position.
But the trip may also mark a new stage in Russia's efforts to roll out a diplomatic plan alongside its military intervention in Syria. Mr Putin has been speaking to other regional players: the Turks; the Saudis; the Jordanians and the Egyptians.
There's a simple message here. The road to any diplomatic settlement now runs through Moscow and, for now at least, Mr Assad has to be part of any interim solution.
Russia launched air strikes in Syria on 30 September, saying they were hitting IS positions - which are also being targeted by US-led strikes.
Western countries and Syrian activists say Russian planes have been focused on hitting non-IS targets in order to shore up the position of the Syrian army, a claim Moscow denies.
Why is there a war in Syria?
Anti-government protests developed into a civil war that, four years on, has ground to a stalemate, with the Assad government, Islamic State, an array of Syrian rebels and Kurdish fighters all holding territory.
Who is fighting whom?
Government forces concentrated in Damascus and the centre and west of Syria are fighting the jihadists of Islamic State and Jabhat al-Nusra, as well as less numerous so-called "moderate" rebel groups, who are strongest in the north and east. These groups are also battling each other.
What's the human cost?
More than 250,000 Syrians have been killed and a million injured. Some 11 million others have been forced from their homes, of whom four million have fled abroad - including growing numbers who are making the dangerous journey to Europe.
How has the world reacted?
Iran, Russia and Lebanon's Hezbollah movement are propping up the Alawite-led Assad government, while Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar back the more moderate Sunni-dominated opposition, along with the US, UK and France. Hezbollah and Iran are believed to have troops and officers on the ground, while a Western-led coalition and Russia are carrying out air strikes.
Prime Minister David Cameron has responded to the historic decision by announcing he will step down by October.
Here's how some of the key figures in Scotland have been reacting.
The SNP leader said Scotland had delivered a "strong, unequivocal vote" to remain in the EU.
Speaking at a news conference in Edinburgh on Friday morning, she said the result meant that a second referendum on Scottish independence was "highly likely".
She said: "As things stand, Scotland faces the prospect of being taken out of the EU against our will. I regard that as democratically unacceptable."
She said the option of a second independence referendum was "now on the table" after the UK voted to Leave the EU.
"We will begin to prepare the legislation that would be required to enable a new independence referendum to take place if and when Parliament so decides," she added.
Reacting to the news that Mr Cameron will step down, Mr Mundell described him as "a great leader of my party and of our country".
He went on: "As the prime minister made clear this morning, the UK government is absolutely committed to working closely with the Scottish government to ensure they are fully involved in the negotiation process.
"The prime minister has already spoken to the first minister and I have today offered to meet with the Scottish government in Edinburgh to discuss next steps.
"The United Kingdom has fundamental strengths and this is a time for calmness and deliberation - not pushing other personal or political agendas."
Following Mr Cameron's announcement that he is to step down by October, Ms Davidson said: "His decision to remain in post over the short term is the right one, and will help ensure greater stability in the days ahead.
"It is right that he has already spoken to Nicola Sturgeon to ensure the Scottish government is involved in the negotiations that will follow."
Speaking later at a news conference, she said: "There can be no avoiding the fact that the days ahead will not be easy. We are being tested."
However, she said she did not believe that a second independence referendum was "in the best interests of the people of Scotland".
She added: "We do not address the challenges of leaving the European Union by leaving our own Union of nations, our biggest market and our closest friends.
"I believe in Scotland's place within the United Kingdom today as much as ever.
Ms Sturgeon's predecessor, Mr Salmond, said the result could lead to a second independence referendum.
Speaking on BBC Radio Scotland, he said: "Nicola Sturgeon has to go forward with the manifesto, which as you remember said the Scottish Parliament should have the right to call a second referendum on Scottish independence if there was a material, significant change in circumstances like Scotland being dragged out of the European Union against the will of the Scottish people.
"Now that has happened, and I am certain Nicola Sturgeon will go forward on that manifesto commitment."
The former Labour MP said: "We don't need a failing EU to hold our hand, we don't need to send millions every week to Brussels, and we don't have to accept uncontrolled EU migration.
"We can take back control."
He also told BBC Scotland that he guaranteed there would not be a second independence referendum after the EU result.
"I spoke to Nicola Sturgeon this afternoon. We both have profound disagreements about the constitutional future of Scotland, but I stand ready to work with her in the best interests of the people of Scotland," she said.
"Now is the time for calm heads. Labour's manifesto ruled out a second referendum in the lifetime of this parliament - we won't be changing our minds any time soon.
"One thing we know for sure is that we know very little about what will happen next.
"However, on the question of independence, many of the fundamental questions that were unresolved and unanswered in 2014, remain so. Not least the question of currency. What we don't need today is more turmoil, more upheaval and more economic chaos."
Mr Rennie said he was "angry" that Scotland had lost its place in Europe.
"It is bad for our country and the people who live here. It means cutting our ties with our biggest economic market despite the consequences for trade, business, jobs and incomes," he added.
Mr Rennie said he was "embarrassed by the signal it sends to the rest of Europe and the rest of the world".
"It's devastating to see that the deceitful, manipulative and at times downright racist Brexit campaign has succeeded south of the border, and looks set to tear up the many benefits of EU membership and play fast and loose with our economic future," he said.
"The Leave campaign claimed to be defending democracy, but they now propose to remove the rights of EU citizenship from Scotland regardless of the way people living here voted."
The MSP called for cross-party action at Holyrood to protect Scotland from the result.
Scotland's only UKIP MEP said it was "fantastic" that "we're out".
He added: "Whatever nonsense Nicola is coming out with, all this nonsense of another referendum, another neverendum - she's talking through her hat - because 40% of the population don't want anything to do with the EU."
Speaking as he arrived for the opening of his hotel and golf resort in Ayrshire, the US billionaire said it was a "great thing" that the people of the UK had "taken back their country".
He tweeted: "Just arrived in Scotland. Place is going wild over the vote. They took their country back, just like we will take America back. No games!"
The senior spokesman for the Remain campaign in Scotland said: "We are proud that every single local authority area in Scotland voted Remain with an overall lead of 24 points over Leave - that clearly stands out as an exceptional result compared to the rest of the UK.
"We are pleased to have won well in Scotland, but of course the only result that decides the issue is the UK-wide vote."
He said the process of leaving the EU would "inevitably generate significant uncertainty".
He added: "Of course, we are confident Scotch whisky will remain the pre-eminent international spirit drink.
"But equally, there are serious issues to resolve in areas of major importance to our industry and which require urgent attention, notably the nature of future trade arrangements with both the single market and the wider world."
He said most of his organisation's members had wanted out of the EU.
"European Union fisheries policy is flawed - that is why so many fishermen voted to leave," he added.
"But we need to recognise that there are significant dangers to the industry if the UK and Scottish governments do not react to the very clear message by focusing on a new approach that recognises fishermen themselves and their communities as the key stakeholders."
He said the result would mark a period of "great uncertainty for Scotland's farmers and crofters".
He added: "The vote for the UK to leave the European Union brings few certainties as to what will happen in the weeks and months ahead but an intense period of negotiation will begin and a negotiated exit from the EU is expected to take a minimum of two years.
"NFU Scotland will be at the centre of any discussions on new arrangements for our food and farming sector. There is a need for these discussions to commence quickly so that the many businesses who benefit from support from the CAP and value the markets we have established for our produce in Europe and further afield can plan for the future."
The STUC general secretary described the result as "desperately disappointing".
He said: "The economic consequences are likely to be severe with a significantly detrimental impact on Scottish jobs and investment.
"With growth currently very weak and employment falling rapidly, the now unavoidable extended period of uncertainty is the last thing the Scottish economy needs."
He added: "We expect early discussions with the Scottish government over the economic and social impact of leaving the EU and its role in and approach to Brexit negotiations. There are many issues to consider not least our future trading arrangements and the status of the many and valued EU workers settled in our country."
The FSB's Scottish policy convenor, said firms would be looking to the Scottish and UK governments, and the Bank of England, to provide leadership.
"We welcome the prime minister's assurance that the Scottish government, and the other devolved administrations, will be fully involved in the negotiations associated with the UK's departure from the EU," he said.
"While questions about a second independence referendum will inevitably dominate the headlines, there are more immediate matters for small firms - from clarity over access to the single market to the free movement of people."
Said there was "mixed reactions" to the news that the majority of the UK had voted to leave the EU.
She said: "We would urge a level of calmness - our products and services will continue to be traded throughout Europe and beyond.
"The priority for Scotland now is for our governments and businesses to carry on and show great leadership in order to stabilise the markets and begin to plan our new relationship with Europe.
She added: "Businesses will also be looking to understand the potential advantages that the UK's exit from the EU might bring. In particular, we are keen to understand how governments in Edinburgh and London might be able to more explicitly support Scottish businesses to win local contracts from the public sector."
"This is an incredibly disappointing result, and one that Scotland clearly took a different stand against", she said.
"In the coming weeks and months it is vital that the UK government works closely with the devolved governments, and with all of us who stood up proudly for our EU membership ensuring we do all we can to stem the damaging consequences we know this result could have."
The convener of the Kirk's church and society council said: "The UK has voted to leave the EU at the end of what has been, at times, a bitter and polarising campaign.
"I believe this is a decision which many people will regret.
"In Scotland, the majority voted differently and this will inevitably raise questions about Scotland's future in the rest of the UK. That is for another day."
He added: "The UK has made a momentous decision but it must not be construed as us pulling up the draw bridge. We are citizens of Europe and the world - and our future and the future of others is dependent upon us working together."
The society's president said: "The vote to leave the EU marks the start of monumental change for the UK and our relationship with the rest of Europe.
"While we cannot predict the full economic effects of the vote to leave on business decisions of law firms or those of their clients, it's important to understand that the UK remains a full member of the EU until the terms of our withdrawal agreement are negotiated.
"There will be no immediate change to the current legal position so solicitors' day to day practice and the advice they provide for clients won't yet be affected."
Speaking on BBC Radio Scotland, he said people in Scotland had been "totally mislead" by those backing a "No" vote in the Scottish independence referendum in 2014.
"They were told to vote against Scottish independence because otherwise we would find ourselves outside the European Union," he said.
"How ironic that the very same people, many of them campaigning with Nigel Farage, are the people who are dragging us out of the European Union today. I think that is more than disappointing, it is democratically unacceptable."
The Harry Potter writer had previously come out in support of the Remain campaign.
She tweeted: "Scotland will seek independence now. (David) Cameron's legacy will be breaking up two unions. Neither needed to happen."
In fact, it's a mere formality.
Ahead of the summit, Mr Cameron has spoken to other EU leaders individually about his reform agenda.
He will need them on board if, as promised, he'll settle for nothing less than fundamental changes in the EU ahead of Britain holding an in/out referendum by the end of 2017.
So what is David Cameron asking for?
In broad brush strokes he wants:
Don't expect much more detail than that out of this summit.
The prime minister is careful not to give too much away in public. After all, this is a process of negotiation in Europe and of persuasion at home to convince eurosceptics that any deal he eventually gets was hard won and significant.
And what kind of reception can he expect from other EU leaders?
In Britain, discussion about Europe can frequently smack of "us and them" sentiment but watch and listen to David Cameron following his election victory last month. He literally oozes relaxed confidence.
In general. EU reform is no exception. And he is not wrong, for now.
Mainland Europeans, accustomed to laborious consensus politics (such as in Germany) or political theatre that's high in drama and all too often thin on results (like Italy) speak admiringly or even in awe about the UK and its combative parliament and no-nonsense way of getting things said and done.
And David Cameron has just provided another stark example of this.
Complaining about the EU is commonplace across its member countries these days.
But the prime minister has simply declared "we want a different relationship with a reformed EU, otherwise we'll take a vote on whether to leave".
As we've travelled across Europe over the past few weeks and months, we've met a number of politicians - in Spain for example - who've expressed some exasperation at Mr Cameron calling an EU referendum. But my sneaking suspicion is that it's because those same politicians know their electorate want a better deal from the EU too.
There's a fear that if every country pushes for themselves, that could, potentially, lead to the unravelling of the European Union.
Germany calls it Pandora's Box. The Spanish expression is Opening the Melon.
French Economy Minister Emmanuel Macron blames Margaret Thatcher and her special EU deal, the rebate, for - as he put it - destroying the EU budget.
"I've seen it myself at these meetings," he said. "Now everyone wants their own cheque."
He used a very determined tone when he insisted that Britain could not be allowed to "cherry pick". I've mentioned this here on the blog before, but I'll repeat it because it is so memorable, that the Germans call this stance "Extrawurst" or extra sausage.
Using a fabulous British expression now - David Cameron really has put the cat amongst the pigeons.
But rather than alienating or isolating the UK, many EU leaders are - and let me emphasise that this is before negotiations begin and potentially get dirty - lining up to say how much they want Britain to stay in the EU.
Now if I were cynical, I could say a lot of that has to do with the fear of losing one of the largest net contributors to the EU budget, one of only two decent sized and active military forces in the EU, with a permanent seat on the UN National Security Council, a pretty good relationship with the United States and a determination to stand up to Russia.
There is also genuine and widespread support amongst leaders for the prime minister's drive to make the EU more competitive, with a stronger single market and less bureaucracy.
But European smiles disappear when it comes to David Cameron's push to curb internal EU migration. He wants to put other EU members off coming to live and work in Britain by cutting their benefits.
Poland is furious. Hundreds of thousands of its countrymen and women live in Britain.
Jacek Rostowski, Poland's former finance minister and chief adviser to the Polish prime minister until the recent political upheaval there, told me: "You can't discriminate between EU citizens in competition for jobs, just as you can't discriminate between EU citizens on EU territory in access to health services.
"Imagine if British people who retire in France or Spain had differential access to French and Spanish health services. That gives you some idea of what would happen if the boot was on the other foot."
Germany objects too. MP Michael Fuchs told me Mr Cameron's proposal tramples on the Freedom of Movement - one of the EU's core principles.
Spain's EU Minister, Inigo Mendez de Vigo, simply shook his head, insisting: "There are certain values, certain principles we all share - well, we cannot touch them, we shouldn't touch them - and we're not going to do it."
So where do we go from here?
His proposals formally submitted this evening during the summit, David Cameron hopes substantial negotiations and technical discussions can start in earnest.
The European Commission will be charged with working out whether his ideas, if accepted by fellow EU leaders, would need treaty change or not.
The prime minister admits the road ahead is a long one.
Yet his chosen timetable - to be done and dusted with the deal and the referendum by the end of 2017, many predict even sooner - is very short indeed.
In Brussels' terms, at least.
Albion beat Edinburgh-based Lowland League side Spartans on penalties in the first round but could be eliminated for fielding an ineligible player.
Crusaders will be at home to Motherwell's Under-20s side who beat Queen's Park on Wednesday.
Two teams from the Republic of Ireland are participating for the first time.
Bray Wanderers will travel to Elgin City while Sligo Rovers have home advantage against Falkirk.
The matches are scheduled for 2/3 September.
This is the second season in which two clubs from Northern Ireland and two from Wales are taking part in the competition which involves clubs from the Scottish Championship and Leagues One and Two as well as teams from the Highland and Lowland Leagues.
Last year Crusaders lost 2-1 to Livingston while Linfield were beaten 2-0 at Queen of the South.
The competition was won by Dundee United who beat St Mirren in the final in March.

David Thompson, 35, from Tingley, died in hospital a month after the BMW he was in hit a tree and a lamppost on the Wrenthorpe Bypass in Wakefield on 18 April.
A 21-year-old man from the city was arrested on Friday and bailed.
The 27-year-old driver of the BMW remains in hospital.
A silver Mitsubishi was also involved in the incident, police said.
Thursday was declared a public holiday to allow supporters of the 89-year-old to attend the inauguration.
The ceremony had been delayed by a court petition filed by his main rival, Morgan Tsvangirai, over allegations of widespread electoral fraud.
But the Constitutional Court dismissed the case, declaring Mr Mugabe's re-election "free, fair and credible".
Mr Mugabe won with 61% of the presidential vote against 34% for Mr Tsvangirai on 31 July.
By Nomsa MasekoBBC News, Harare
Robert Mugabe's inauguration was witnessed by thousands of jubilant supporters and invited guests in Zimbabwe's biggest sports stadium on the outskirts of Harare, amid tight security. Many former heads of state and deputy presidents attended the event, but tellingly very few of the continent's current leaders.
This is perhaps a tacit acknowledgement of the concerns which have been raised around Zimbabwe's disputed election, in which Mr Mugabe emerged victorious with more than 60% of the ballot.
There were loud cheers from the veteran leader's supporters when he read out his oath. In his inaugural speech, Mr Mugabe attacked Western nations for refusing to accept the election results and took a swipe at his main rival, MDC leader Morgan Tsvangirai, describing him as a "sore loser". He also made time to speak out against homosexuality, saying it was a filthy disease that destroys nations.
Zanu-PF is now firmly in control and the party has vowed to press ahead with its economic empowerment policy, which seeks to take over foreign-owned businesses. Zimbabwe will be closely watched in the weeks and months to come.
The elections ended a fragile power-sharing government formed by the two men in 2009 under pressure from regional leaders following elections the year before marred by violence and allegations of electoral fraud.
Outgoing prime minister and opposition leader Mr Tsvangirai said he would not be attending the inauguration ceremony.
"Expecting Tsvangirai to attend the inauguration is like expecting a victim of robbery to attend a party hosted by the robber," his spokesman, Luke Tamborinyoka, told AFP.
The BBC's Brian Hungwe in the capital, Harare, says there was an air of excitement at the national sports stadium for inauguration ceremony, with free fizzy drinks and T-shirts reading "Mugabe fearless revolutionary" being given to the crowds.
One of the banners in the stadium read: "It's Africa versus Europe with Zimbabwe as the new battlefront."
There were loud cheers from the thousands of his supporters when he read out his oath, pledging to "observe, defend and uphold the constitution of Zimbabwe".
In his inaugural speech, Mr Mugabe attacked Western nations for refusing to accept the election - the UK and US have expressed concerns about the vote, and the US has refused to remove targeted sanctions against certain individuals and companies until further political reforms are made.
"These Western countries hold a different negative view of the electoral process. Well, there's nothing we can do about their moral turpitude,'' the Associated Press news agency quoted Mr Mugabe as saying.
"We are not curtsying or bowing to any foreign government, however powerful it is or whatever filthy lucre it flaunts.
A guide to rigging allegations
"We abide by the judgment of Africa. America dares raise a censorious voice to contradict Africa's verdict. Who gave them the gift of seeing better than all of us?'' Mr Mugabe said.
The African Union has said that any irregularities were not enough to overturn the margin of victory.
"I have grave concerns over the conduct of the election, and the flaws highlighted in the South African Development Community (Sadc) and African Union observation missions' initial assessments," UK Foreign Secretary William Hague said in a statement on Thursday ahead of the inauguration.
"There is strong evidence that these elections fell short of Sadc's own guidelines and the Zimbabwean electoral law. As such, we are concerned about the potential implications for the region."
It was critical that reforms advanced under the power-sharing government were not lost, he added.
In his speech, Mr Mugabe promised to continue with controversial economic reforms which will force all companies to cede economic control to black Zimbabweans.
"The mining sector will be the centrepiece of our economic recovery and growth. It should generate growth spurts across sector, reignite that economic miracle which must now happen," the AFP news agency quoted him as saying.
Mr Tsvangirai's Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) lost two court cases related to fraud claims in last month's disputed elections. Rulings were issued despite the MDC withdrawing its case saying it would not get a fair hearing.
The party alleged that more than a million voters were prevented from casting their ballots in polling stations, mostly in the capital and urban areas considered to be MDC strongholds.
The Zimbabwe Election Support Network, which placed 7,000 observers around the country, has also judged the election flawed.
MDC officials have indicated they are unwilling to continue their partnership government with Zanu-PF.
Mr Mugabe will serve another five-year term. Under the new constitution approved in a referendum earlier this year, he will be able to serve another term after this.
The 89-year-old politician served as Zimbabwe's first post-independence prime minister between 1980 and 1987, and has held office as president ever since.
The 22-year-old has scored 43 goals in the last two seasons for East Thurrock, including 21 in their first National League South campaign last term.
His performances have earned him the Rocks' players' player of the year award for two successive years.
Manager Jay Saunders told the club website: "Tom is someone I've been after for a few seasons."

The West Brom man, 37, will miss Friday's game against New Zealand because of a thigh injury but could still feature in Baku on 10 June.
With Conor Washington and Jamie Ward missing, Kyle Lafferty is included despite his lack of recent game time.
Accrington Stanley forward Shay McCartan is handed a first call-up.
McCartan, a former Down minor gaelic footballer, has previously played for the Northern Ireland Under-21s.
Like McAuley, Watford defender Craig Cathcart will not be risked against New Zealand because of a knock so manager Michael O'Neill has named Southend's Adam Thompson and Burton Albion's Tom Flanagan in the 25-man squad.
Thompson could add to his two caps as he returns to the squad after a six-year absence while Flanagan is uncapped despite having been included in a number of squads.
With strikers Washington and Ward unavailable, in-form Ross County forward Liam Boyce and Charlton's Josh Magennis are being tipped to start in Azerbaijan.
QPR striker Washington is missing because he is getting married while Nottingham Forest forward Ward is injured.
Washington and Ward scored Northern Ireland's goals in their last game, which was the 2-0 qualifier win over Norway in March.
Lafferty has not played any competitive football since coming on as a late substitute in the Norway game and has been released by Norwich City.
O'Neill said that Lafferty had "worked very hard" at a squad training camp in Manchester last weekend.
"The big part of last week and this week is to assess which players are most game ready," added the Northern Ireland manager.
Boyce appears in that category after scoring 23 goals in his 34 games for Ross County this season.
"He offers a lot. His range of goals has been impressive," said O'Neill.
"He's deceptively quick, and good at link-up play. He's adaptable and a really good player. "
O'Neill's side are second in Group C, five points behind leaders Germany, but two ahead of the third-placed Czech Republic.
Northern Ireland squad
Goalkeepers: McGovern (Norwich City), Mannus (St Johnstone), Carroll (Linfield)
Defenders: McAuley (West Brom), Evans (West Brom), Hughes (Hearts), Cathcart (Watford), Brunt (West Brom), C McLaughlin (Fleetwood), Hodson (Rangers), R McLaughlin (Oldham), Thompson (Southend), D Lafferty (Sheffield United), Flanagan (Burton Albion)
Midfielders: Davis (Southampton), McGinn (Aberdeen), Norwood (Brighton), Ferguson (Millwall), Dallas (Leeds), Lund (Burton Albion), Paton (St Johnstone)
Strikers: K Lafferty (Norwich), Magennis (Charlton), Boyce (Ross County), McCartan (Accrington Stanley)
It blamed Awa Dabo, a Gambian national, for the "deteriorating performance" of her office, driven by what it called her "strained relations" with staff.
Neither she nor the UNDP has commented.
But local media have linked the shock move with Ms Dabo's alleged criticism of controversial elections on the Tanzanian island of Zanzibar last year.
In a statement, the foreign ministry did not comment on the reports, but urged the UNDP to remind its staff that their first priority was to work closely with the Tanzanian government to help it meet its development targets.
Speaking on condition of anonymity, a UNDP official said that Ms Dabo had been deported on the same day the government issued the order, under a security escort.
Zanzibar's controversial election re-run in March 2016 prompted a US government aid agency to withdraw nearly half a billion dollars of funding from Tanzania, describing the vote as "neither inclusive nor representative".
The opposition in the semi-autonomous archipelago boycotted the presidential poll, which was won by a landslide by the candidate from Tanzania's ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) party.
Opposition MP Paskal Haonga condemned the move to expel Ms Dabo, saying it soiled the reputation of Tanzania in international diplomatic circles.
NHS Highland is looking for GPs willing to take up posts in some of the most beautiful and remote parts of Scotland.
Adverts will appear in Leeds later, the second English city targeted by health chiefs searching for doctors who want to "live the dream".
Two years ago Dr Clare Whitney moved from an urban practice in Lancashire with 17,000 patients to Broadford in Skye, where she has just 2,000 patients and a brand new health centre.
"The first main difference I saw when I moved up here was having the luxury of time," she said.
"Longer appointments for every patient and being able to work with a much closer team, along with the lifestyle of living on the beautiful Isle of Skye."
Although living and working in some of the most stunning scenery in the UK sounds attractive, there are currently around two dozen vacant GP positions in rural parts of the Highlands and Islands.
Scottish GPs are put off applying for jobs in remote areas by levels of responsibility which are no longer required in urban practices.
Dr Whitney said: "There are practices where you would be working your evenings and being on-call overnight, and being on-call up here is very different.
"It has been the case where we have been first on-scene to a road traffic accident where you're managing the casualty with what you have available to you at that time.
"Ambulances are scattered a little bit more widely up here so it may be 20 minutes or half an hour before an ambulance can come along."
In the last year, NHS Highland has spent ??1m on locums to cover a vacant GP practice in Thurso at the very top of the Scottish mainland.
Later this month, it will start a regular boat charter to take GPs from Skye to treat patients on Muck, Eigg, and Rum who have been without a resident GP for two years.
However, NHS Highland hopes to capitalise on the unusual aspects of the job, along with extra funding, to encourage doctors in search of a different lifestyle.
It has employed the services of an advertising agency based in Jersey to promote life on islands and other remote communities. Some positions come with "golden hellos" as a cash incentive to doctors to take them up.
NHS Highland's operating manager Gill McVicar said: "We are taking an opportunity presented by doctors in England being a little bit disenchanted with some of the changes which have been happening in the English health service.
"We thought we would give this a go in the north of England and see how it goes from there."
When asked whether the health board is poaching English GPs, Ms McVicar said: "Absolutely. Our view is that some of these people will be moving anyway and we would like to encourage them - if they are considering a change - to consider the Highlands."
A previous advertising drive in Liverpool last month yielded six inquiries from doctors who said they would consider applying for jobs in rural practices in the future.
There are currently vacancies in the Small Isles of Muck, Eigg and Rum, the Kintyre peninsula, rural Argyll, and Arisaig and Mallaig on the north west coast. Three GPs in Skye are also due to retire in the next few years.
More on the story will be aired on You and Yours on BBC Radio 4 at 12:15 on Monday.
His opponent for the FA Cup fourth round is Arsenal Ladies striker Kelly Smith, a three-time Women's FA Cup winner.
Success for the Gunners' men's team has been harder to come by in recent years but Smith, an Arsenal fan and season-ticket holder, thinks their trophy drought could soon be over.
She told BBC Sport: "The FA Cup is the main trophy we can contend for so I think all eyes and focus will be on that.
"Arsenal are trying to push for a Champions League spot, which will be difficult, but the FA Cup is the one trophy they will want to try and win.
"I know the fans are frustrated because we haven't won a trophy for eight years but I still think Arsene Wenger is the man for the job. He has money to spend now and hopefully he can strengthen the squad in this transfer window.
"Theo Walcott's new deal has provided a boost too and I don't see any reason why Arsenal cannot go all the way."
Smith is backing Arsenal to beat Brighton on Saturday but thinks Luton will spring a surprise against Norwich, while Lawro is tipping Millwall to pile on the pain for Aston Villa on Friday night and MK Dons to shock QPR.
* Away team to win at home in the replay
A correct result is worth ONE point, while a correct score earns THREE points.
Last week, Lawro took on actor and comedian Russell Brand.
Lawro got three results right, including one perfect score, and his score of five saw him beat Brand's tally of three (three correct results with no scores).
Both Lawro and MOTD commentator Guy Mowbray pick up an extra point this week after correctly predicting the result of Wednesday's rearranged game between Arsenal and West Ham, but his other Boxing Day opponent Marco Gabbiadini got the outcome wrong.
This season, we will also be keeping a record of the total scores for Lawro and his guests (below), and showing a table of how the Premier League would look if all Lawro's predictions had come off (also at the bottom of the page).

BBC Sport's Marc Higginson has put together a little quiz to get the grey matter ticking over. Good luck!
Taulupe Faletau, George North and Jamie Roberts were the three wildcards - players based outside Wales - included in their squad for the November Tests.
That meant Priestland was omitted.
Asked if he had considered the national selection policy before re-signing for Bath, the 30-year-old former Scarlets fly-half said: "No, not really."
Priestland added he had not spoken to anyone in Wales about the possibility of returning to play for one of the nation's four regional teams.
"I'm settled up here," he said. "I enjoy playing in this league. I enjoy living in Bath, so for me it would be my preferred option to stay up here.
"And thankfully they wanted me to stay as well."
Priestland joined Bath after the 2015 World Cup, later reversing his decision to take a sabbatical from Wales internationals.
In October, he backed the Welsh Rugby Union's selection policy, and said he expected to be omitted from their autumn games against Australia, Argentina, Japan and South Africa.
Priestland's season has been disrupted by injury, but he says he has "loved his time" at Bath.
He added: "It's competitive every week and it's all different challenges.
"You're playing in front of good crowds and good teams and the standard's very good in this league as well.
"When they offered me a contract it wasn't a tough decision to make."
Bath are fourth in the Premiership but have lost their past three matches - to Wasps, Exeter and Newcastle.
Priestland said: "Everyone here is excited about the direction the club is going. Everyone's impressed by the coaches.
"I know it dropped off a little bit recently, but you can still see some improvement in the way we're playing.
"If we can sort a few things out, I'm sure we'll go back to challenging for the top of the table and hopefully we can do that for the next few years as well."
Mr Sutton, from Llantwit Major, was reported missing on Tuesday morning.
South Wales Police said the body was discovered in a field near St Donats on Wednesday at 16:20 GMT.
Formal identification is yet to take place. The family of Mr Sutton have been informed.
The UN's human rights office said streets were full of bodies.
Meanwhile, the UN children's agency cited a doctor as saying a building housing as many as 100 unaccompanied children was under heavy attack.
Rebels, who have held east Aleppo for four years, are on the brink of defeat.
Thousands of people are reportedly trapped in the last remaining neighbourhoods still in rebel hands, facing intense bombardment as pro-government troops advance.
The Syrian government's ally Russia, which has rejected calls for a humanitarian truce, earlier said any atrocities were "actually being committed by terrorist groups", meaning rebel forces.
Rebel officials said on Tuesday that an agreement had been reached to evacuate civilians and fighters from besieged areas but there has been no confirmation from the Syrian government or Russia.
The UN Security Council will discuss the situation in Aleppo later on Tuesday.
"We're filled with the deepest foreboding for those who remain in this last hellish corner" of eastern Aleppo, UN human rights office spokesman Rupert Colville told a news conference.
He said that 82 civilians had reportedly been killed by pro-government forces, of whom 11 were women and 13 children, adding that the death toll could be much higher.
"Yesterday evening, we received further deeply disturbing reports that numerous bodies were lying on the streets," Mr Colville added, while admitting it was hard to verify the reports.
"The residents were unable to retrieve them due to the intense bombardment and their fear of being shot on sight."
Meanwhile, Unicef quoted a doctor in the city as saying: "Many children, possibly more than 100, unaccompanied or separated from their families, are trapped in a building, under heavy attack in east Aleppo".
Ibrahim abu-Laith, a spokesman for the White Helmets volunteer rescue group, said 90% of their equipment was out of operation and only one medical point was still working in the besieged areas. There was no first aid equipment left, he added.
He said volunteers were using their hands to pull people out of rubble, but some 70 people were stuck and could not be extracted.
It is hard to know exactly how many people are in the besieged areas, although one US official with knowledge of efforts to secure safe passage for people in the city told the BBC that there were around 50,000 people.
Other local sources say there could be as many as 100,000, with people arriving from areas recently taken by the government.
Eastern Aleppo evacuees - in pictures
Former Chancellor Osborne: UK 'shares failings' over Syria
Activist Lina Shamy: "Humans all over the world, don't sleep! You can do something, protest now! Stop the genocide".
Bana Alabed, aged 7: "I am talking to the world now live from East #Aleppo. This is my last moment to either live or die."
White Helmets tweet: "All streets & destroyed buildings are full with dead bodies. It's hell."
Abdul Kafi Alhamado, teacher: "Some people are under the rubble, no-one can help them. They just leave them under the rubble until they die - these houses as their graves."
The 'final goodbyes' from Aleppo
Russia's military says 98% of the city is now back in government hands.
According to the AFP news agency, the rebels have control of just a handful of neighbourhoods, including Sukkari and Mashhad.
The Syrian army's Lt Gen Zaid al-Saleh said on Monday that the battle "should end quickly", telling the rebels they "either have to surrender or die".
The UK-based monitoring group, the Syrian Observatory of Human Rights (SOHR), has also said the battle for Aleppo had reached its end, with "just a matter of a small period of time" before "a total collapse".
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said he was alarmed by the reports of atrocities and had instructed his special envoy to Syria to "follow up urgently with the parties concerned".
France and the UK requested an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council for Tuesday to discuss "the worst humanitarian tragedy of the 21st Century unfolding before our eyes," AFP quoted ambassador Francois Delattre as saying. The meeting will be held at 17:00 GMT.
The UN's humanitarian adviser on Syria, Jan Egeland, earlier spoke of "massacres of unarmed civilians, of young men, of women, children, health workers".
He named a pro-government Iraqi Shia militia as being responsible for the killings, but placed overall blame for any atrocities in the hands of the Syrian and Russian governments.
"Those who let them loose in this area are also accountable," he said.
In response, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Mr Egeland was not in full possession of the facts on the ground. "If he did, he would be paying attention to the atrocities that are actually being committed by terrorist groups," he said.
For much of the past four years, Aleppo has been divided roughly in two, with the government controlling the western half and rebels the east.
Syrian troops finally broke the deadlock with the help of Iranian-backed militias and Russian air strikes, reinstating a siege on the east in early September and launching an all-out assault weeks later.
By lunchtime, the five biggest losers on the FTSE 100 were all mining firms, led by BHP Billiton, which sank by 5.6%.
Overall, the benchmark 100-share index was down 91.37 points or 1.49% at 6,045.87.
Investor sentiment remains fragile amid fears over the health of the Chinese economy, a big consumer of commodities.
Shares across the globe fell sharply on Monday after trading in China was halted early when its main indexes fell 7%, triggering "circuit breakers".
Chinese shares extended their losses on Tuesday, but headed higher on Wednesday, with the Shanghai Composite index closing 2.3% up.
Anglo American and Rio Tinto were 4.8% and 4.5% lower respectively, while Antofagasta shed 4.3% and Glencore lost 3.5%.
Among the risers on the FTSE 100, Sainsbury's made early gains but was just 0.04% up at lunchtime, having fallen 5.2% the previous day.
The supermarket giant's loss on Tuesday followed news that it had made an unsuccessful bid approach for Home Retail Group.
On the currency markets, the pound slipped by 0.16% against the dollar to $1.4653 and by 0.18% against the euro to €1.3626.
After resuming on 139-0, openers Daryl Mitchell and Brett D'Oliveira extended their first-wicket partnership to 215.
But Mitchell (121) and D'Oliveira (80) went in quick succession as, stung by the second new ball, the visitors lost all 10 wickets for 97, all out for 312.
Second time around, Worcestershire are on 124-4, with Mitchell gone for 54, still trailing Sussex by 143 runs.
After their second double-century opening stand in three matches, Worcestershire still looked well set on 228-3 at lunch, despite another cheap dismissal for Tom Fell.
But, when Sussex took the new ball, the hosts' multi-national attack suddenly looked a different proposition.
Jofra Archer (4-91) and Vernon Philander (3-72) were the main protagonists as, coupled with some uneven bounce, the last seven wickets went down for 52 runs inside 15 overs.
Mitchell now has 534 runs from his last five innings in three matches but it will not prevent Worcestershire's six-game winning run in the Championship, going back to last season, coming to an end.
Sussex and England all-rounder Chris Jordan told BBC Sussex:
"It has been a brilliant day for us. Even when their openers were putting on 215 we created chances but once David Wiese got us the breakthrough with two quick wickets we never looked back.
"We just needed that bit of luck. With the bowlers we've got we knew we could get enough out of the wicket and run through them and that's what happened.
"When they followed on, it was pretty similar and to get Daryl Mitchell out again just before the close was very important. It has given us an end to attack."
Worcestershire director of cricket Steve Rhodes told BBC Hereford & Worcester:
"Our two openers toiled manfully at times and also took the opportunity to score runs. They batted really well but we lost three wickets before lunch.
"Then it became increasingly difficult for new batsmen to come in for two reasons. The Sussex bowlers produced a really good effort and the pitch started to go up and down a bit.
"You have to give Sussex's bowlers credit. They bowled well and have really turned up this game but we are still fighting. Any runs we can get that give us a lead are going to be worth double."
Firefighters were called to the property in Kerr Drive at 16:30 on Saturday.
The women was taken to hospital for treatment but later died from her injuries. A 78-year-old man was treated for smoke inhalation at Glasgow Royal Infirmary then released.
A police spokesman said all other staff and residents were accounted for.
He said the blaze was "not thought to be suspicious at this time".
Seven residents had to be temporarily accommodated at a nearby care home.
A joint investigation with the fire service is under way to establish the exact cause.
A spokeswoman for the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said: "Four fire appliances were immediately mobilised to the scene.
"Firefighters put out a fire within a room of the property."
A staff member at the care home head office said no one was available to comment.
Gloucester meet Stade Francais on Friday, a year on from Scott's final appearance for Edinburgh.
"Whenever you move from somewhere, you wonder whether you've made the right decision," Scott told BBC Points West.
"But having the chance to run out at Murrayfield will vindicate my move. I'm desperate to be involved."
Scott suffered a hamstring injury on Six Nations duty with Scotland and was out for two months, only making his return in Saturday's 34-20 defeat by Exeter.
But the 26-year-old, who has scored 13 tries in 24 appearances for Gloucester, is pleased to be fit for the showpiece final, having missed a chunk of last season with injuries.
"It's the same with all these big games - if you're not involved it's a horrible feeling watching from the sidelines, so I feel incredibly lucky to be fit at this time of the season for a change," he added.
Gloucester finished ninth in the Premiership but know victory over Stade Francais will open up a route to the Champions Cup, as they will go into the play-offs instead of seventh-placed Northampton.
Director of rugby David Humphreys said: "Everybody is well aware of the significance of this game and winning a trophy, but also of the potential to still achieve what we set out at the start of the year to do, which was to qualify for the Champions Cup.
"The players are looking forward to trying to finish our season, which has been a little bit disappointing up to now, on a high.
"Knowing the quality of the team that Stade Francais will put out, we've got to be at our best again and make sure that now we've got this far, we go on and win the competition."

Sundance's 2016 edition runs from 21 to 31 January in Park City, Utah.
The annual cinema showcase was founded by actor Robert Redford to promote independent movie-making.
Ellen Page, Mad Men's Elisabeth Moss and pop singer Nick Jonas are among the established names who appear in other films featured in the programme.
The event will open on 21 January with Other People, a film about a struggling comedy writer who returns to his childhood home to care for his sick mother.
This year's festival will see US actors Nate Parker and Clea DuVall unveil their feature directorial debuts, respectively entitled The Birth of a Nation and The Intervention.
The former is a biopic of Nat Turner, the leader of an 1831 slave revolt in Virginia, while the latter tells of friends who join forces to "save" a couple's marriage.
Documentaries included in the line-up include films about James Foley, the US journalist killed by the so-called Islamic State in 2014, and another about the Sandy Hook shootings of December 2012.
The world documentary strand, meanwhile, will host the premiere of The Lovers and the Despot, a British film about a South Korean director and actress who claimed to have been kidnapped by North Korean dictator and cinephile Kim Jong-il.
"From diverse backgrounds, places and perspectives, these independent artists are united by the power of their stories and vision," said Redford in a statement.
"Their films will soon launch onto the global stage, beginning their journeys through our culture. A new year in independent film will start right here - on the mountain - in January."
Recent success stories to have made their debuts at Sundance include Beasts of the Southern Wild, Fruitvale Station and 2015 Oscar-winner Whiplash.
The case was triggered when authorities in Kempten, southern Germany, refused to let a local firm export cattle to Uzbekistan in Central Asia.
EU rules say cattle must get a rest period of at least one hour, with food and water, after 14 hours of travel.
The court has made it clear that those rules include travel in non-EU states.
On longer journeys the animals must be unloaded and have a 24-hour rest with food and water, after another 14 hours of travel.
The cattle transport by German firm Zuchtvieh-Export GmbH would have involved more than five days of travel in non-EU countries.
The company's journey log had not specified rest points for the cattle during the 7,000km (4,340-mile) journey across former Soviet countries.
Under the ECJ ruling, authorities can now demand inclusion of those welfare provisions in the journey log for live animal transports that leave the EU.
An ECJ press release said that "the requirements relating to watering and feeding intervals and duration of journeys and resting periods also apply to those stages of the transport taking place outside the EU".
EU-wide rules on protection of animals during transport were adopted in 2004 and further legislation was added later.
A British Liberal Democrat MEP, Catherine Bearder, said EU animal welfare law had helped reduce unnecessary suffering during live transports, but "too often these rules are callously ignored, including when animals are shipped further afield".
"Today's ruling should encourage us to ensure EU laws on animal transport are properly enforced, both at home and abroad."
New pensioners are now allowed to take a maximum of £30,000 from their pension savings as a lump sum, up from £18,000.
This is an interim arrangement before full flexibility over pension savings takes effect next April.
However, there are fears that some new retirees will take the wrong decisions owing to a lack of advice.
The changes mean:
The government said that about 400,000 people would have more options in the next 12 months when it came to accessing their pension savings as a result of the changes. The changes affect those with defined contribution pensions.
From next April, the overhaul will go further, giving retirees complete control over what they do with their pension savings.
There has been criticism from the insurance industry, which said that Chancellor George Osborne had only given them 10 days to prepare for the changes.
Huw Evans, of the Association of British Insurers (ABI), said there was particular concern over the the rules for those who had bought an "irreversible" annuity - an annual pension income for the rest of their life - just before the chancellor's announcement.
"Insurers remain committed to working with each other closely to help customers who wish to exercise their 'cooling-off' rights but needs the government to do its part to recognise the urgency of clarifying the post-Budget situation it has created," he said.
Joanne Segars, chief executive of the National Association of Pension Funds (NAPF), said that it would be a huge undertaking to organise good quality guidance, as promised by the chancellor, in time for April next year.
She said that people needed help and support when making major decisions about financing their retirement.
This guarantee of guidance will not be in place in time for those making decisions under the new temporary rules over the next 12 months. | A council that twice told a terminally ill man he was not close enough to death to qualify for free personal care has reversed its decision in his case.

Dr Vladislav Rogozov, a consultant anaesthetist at Sheffield's Royal Hallamshire Hospital, spoke about the incident in an online blog.
He said he had confronted the unnamed surgeon when he realised she intended to keep the scarf on during surgery.
Hospital chiefs would not confirm if Dr Rogozov had been suspended.
Headscarves worn for religious purposes are permitted in most areas of hospitals but should be removed in areas such as operating theatres in the interest of patient safety and hygiene, according to hospital rules.
Dr David Throssell, medical director of Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, said: "The member of staff has not been excluded from work for raising patient safety issues as we take these very seriously.
"However, since the publication of articles attributed to the member of staff, we have received concerns about the tone he has used.
"On this basis the content and nature of the views published are currently being investigated."
The firm disclosed the pricing in paperwork filed on Monday with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
Based in New York, Blue Apron was founded in 2012.
It is among the most successful meal-delivery companies that have sprung up in the US in recent years.
The industry, which includes firms such as HelloFresh in Europe, is competitive. Amazon's plan to double down on the grocery market with an acquisition of Whole Foods, is expected to increase the pressure.
Blue Apron's service is pitched at buyers who want a home-cooked meal, but don't want to spend time buying groceries or menu-planning.
A two-person plan, with ingredients and recipes for three meals, costs about about $60 (£47). Options include soy-marinated chicken thighs and sesame soba noodles.
Blue Apron recently filed a prospectus, signalling an intent to become a public company.
The firm brought in almost $800m in revenue in 2016, though it ended the year with a loss of more than $54m, according to the filing.
The firm, which has more than 5,100 employees, plans to sell 30 million shares for between $15 and $17 each, according to the filing.
More shares could be issued if demand warrants, meaning an initial public offering could raise as much as $586.5m.
Officers were called to reports a man had been stabbed inside a bar/restaurant in Lea Bridge Road, Leyton, at about 21:50 BST.

No arrests have been made and Scotland Yard said it was keeping an open mind about the killer's potential motive.
Llanfaelog Community Council said it believed Llyn Maelog near Rhosneigr was the first lake to attain the status.
Anglesey Council's legal experts decided there was no legal problem with the new designation at the lake, which is already a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).
County councillors backed the move in a meeting on Wednesday.
Richard Dew, the community council clerk, said it had taken a number of years to reach this stage.
"It goes back a few years when the council looked at improving facilities, for locals and visitors, popular for sailing, boating, fishing as well as wildlife," he said.
"We found there was no registered owner, so the way forward was to register it as a village green."
Mr Dew said he understood that Llyn Maelog was the first lake in Wales to attain village green status.
"But it is a very important lake, it has triple SI status, and we are aware of the importance from a wildlife view as well," he added.
Last year, Sherwood Lake in Tunbridge Wells, Kent was registered as a village green.
Kate Ashbrook, general secretary of the open spaces society said: "Green spaces and open water are of immense importance to the public, as places of recreation and refreshment, where we can enjoy nature in peace and quiet."
The self-portrait was drawn as he travelled on an "ice chiller" train on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway.
Matthew Tanner, of the ss Great Britain Trust, said the picture - on show in Bristol - "is the first selfie really".
A number of Brunel's previously unseen notebooks are on show at the ss Great Britain to mark the 175th anniversary of his first London-to-Bristol train.
The previously unseen pencil drawing, was drawn years before Brunel was appointed as chief engineer for the Great Western Railway Company.
It shows a man shivering in a cold carriage, with his hands in his pockets trying to keep warm with the comment: "Travelling in an ice chiller - hands very cold, going 28 miles per hour on the Lion locomotive".
Mr Tanner said the young Victorian engineer would travel the nation's bumpy railway lines with a notebook in his back pocket trying to draw and write smoothly.
"He went on everybody else's railway to see how bad they were," he said.
"And he tried to draw perfect circles as he was travelling along, as his measure of the smoothness of the railway."
Two years later, he was appointed chief engineer for "God's Wonderful Railway", the length of which he personally surveyed in its entirety in a bid to find the smoothest, flattest route.
Matthew Golton, GWR commercial director, said: "The diary extract could well be documentary evidence of the moment of inspiration that gave birth to Brunel's vision of the Great Western Railway.
"The second - likely a self-portrait - bears an uncanny resemblance to one of the famous photographs by the landing chains of the ss Great Eastern, almost 30 years later."
Brunel's diary entries and notebooks are on display at Brunel's ss Great Britain until 2 July.
Guenther Oettinger has said he took the lift because he would otherwise have arrived late for a planned meeting with Hungarian Prime Minister, Viktor Orban.
But critics accuse him of breaking European Union rules against accepting gifts of more than €150 (£129).
Mr Oettinger was already facing criticism after using an offensive term about Chinese people in a speech.
The flight took place on 18 May this year when Mr Oettinger was going to a conference in Budapest about the future of the car industry.
He was due to meet Mr Orban the night before, and - unable, he says, to make it to the meeting any other way - accepted a lift in the private jet of Klaus Mangold, a German businessman who is a former manager at the Daimler luxury car company.
But the worldwide anti-corruption charity Transparency International told German media (in German) that Mr Mangold is also a lobbyist with close connections to Russia's President Vladimir Putin.
Under EU rules, contact with lobbyists must be declared.
Daniel Freund of the group's Brussels office said: "All commissioners can access business class flights and a fleet of jets, so it is unclear why Mr Oettinger accepted this invitation."
The embattled commissioner tweeted on Tuesday that the allegations were "unfounded" and that the Hungarian government had suggested that he take Mr Mangold's plane.
But the head of the Greens in the European Parliament, Rebecca Harms, said Mr Oettinger had to face some "very uncomfortable questions".
She said: "It is very alarming that an EU commissioner can let a lobbyist close to the Kremlin fly him across Europe, and can find that totally normal."
As well as representing Germany at the European Commission, Mr Oettinger holds the portfolio for digital economy and society.
Earlier this month he apologised for comments in which he spoke of Chinese officials having "hair combed... with black shoe polish" and called them "slitty-eyed".
The ad triggered the devices to read out information about the burgers from online encyclopaedia Wikipedia.
However, somebody edited Wikipedia to describe the Whopper as the "worst hamburger product" and another added cyanide to the list of ingredients.
The BBC understands the ad was blocked.
Google did not publicly confirm this, saying only that it had "no involvement" in the campaign.
But Burger King confirmed to the BBC that after the first iteration of the ad was blocked, it ran a tweaked version on US TV.
According to a Burger King spokeswoman, the new ad was revoiced using a "different intonation" that bypassed the ban.
In the 15-second advert, a Burger King employee asks "OK, Google. What is the Whopper burger?"
The stunt has put Wikipedia in the spotlight after reports that Burger King's own marketing team edited the Whopper page shortly before the ad campaign.
The history of the page shows that changes were made on 4 April by Burger King Corporation. It edited the description of the product to include the lines "America's favourite burger" and "100% beef with no preservatives".
This change was quickly re-edited back to the original version.
Wikipedia has not responded to requests for comment.
Whether Burger King expected users to go on to make their own, less flattering edits is unclear but Emily Tan, technology editor at marketing news website Campaign, thinks it might have been aware such a reaction was likely.
"Burger King has a reputation as quite a provocative brand and the idea that users are hijacking a brand can charm and amuse people. There is a chance that Burger King expected this to happen," she said.
However, she thought it was less likely they expected the backlash from users about the intrusive nature of such adverts.
"People didn't like this invading their living rooms. Studies suggest that people feel quite close to these smart speaker devices, they become a personality, and when something you regard as your friend pipes up with information that you didn't ask for, that creeps people out."
The stunt has also renewed concerns about voice-activated home speakers being used for advertising.
While Burger King said that it "saw an opportunity to do something exciting with the emerging technology of intelligent personal assistant devices", others feel it should have acted with more caution.
"Brands are always keen to jump on the newest technologies to engage their audience and sometimes this means mistakes are made.," Justin Pearse, managing director of Drum Studios, an arm of marketing news website, The Drum told the BBC.
"While it's crucial brands have the bravery to experiment with new ad models, such as voice-activated advertising, it's also vital to do this with caution."
Google and Amazon are currently engaged in a battle over who will dominate the new voice-activated AI-enabled smart assistant market.
Both rely on their products to help sell more products, with Amazon's Alexa recommending discounts and offers to users.
Previously Google came under fire when Google Home began playing out information about new film Beauty and the Beast. Google denied the material was an advertisement but removed it anyway.
"Voice-activation is the new frontier for advertising and will provide incredible benefits for brands and consumers alike," said Mr Pearse.
"But like any new frontier, it pays to tread with caution. Brands need to consider how consumers will react rather than just what the technology can do."
It was the biggest fight to take place on sea during World War One and happened in the North Sea, just off the coast of Denmark.
British ships had set sail to stop the German fleet and there was an expectation that Britain would win the battle.
Britain's navy was superior to Germany's - they had a bigger fleet and more firepower. But the battle didn't unfold as simply as many thought it would do.
What was at stake for Britain and Germany?
Up to 1916, the war had been fought on land but Germany was desperate to break the blockade on its ports.
If they won, they could stop Britain being able to transport troops, supplies and guns to Europe.
Britain wanted to keep control of the North Sea and stop food and raw materials getting to Germany.
How many men and ships were involved?
Around 100,000 men were involved in the battle of Jutland and 250 ships.
The German High Seas Fleet was under the command of the Admiral Reinhard Scheer.
In charge of the British fleet that day was Admiral Sir John Jellicoe.
It brought together the two most powerful naval forces of the time and it became the largest sea battle in naval warfare history in terms of the numbers of battleships involved.
What happened during the battle?
In the beginning of the battle, Britain thought they had the upper hand as they were intercepting German intelligence. But some of the information wasn't correct and the German ships were not at port, but already out at sea. This meant British ships were surprised when they came upon the German navy ships at that particular moment.
Britain launched an attack on German ships, who returned fire. Britain's HMS Indefatigable and Queen Mary were hit and the two ships exploded. More than 2000 men on the ships died. It was later discovered that cordite, a type of explosive, was being stored incorrectly and caused the ships to explode.
The British ships then retreated back towards the rest of the British fleet, leading the Germans into a trap.
Admiral Jellicoe then formed his warships into a six-mile semi-circle and hit the German ships. The Germans were forced to back away but turned again to launch torpedoes back at the British.
By this point, Jellicoe had lost three battlecruiser ships and there were more ships hit later on that night. Jellicoe then decided not to risk any more ships and did not return to battle with the German fleet.
How long did the battle last?
The battle was fought over 36 hours from 31 May to 1 June, 1916.
How many people died?
More than 6,000 Britons and 2,500 Germans died.
Who won the battle?
The Germans claimed victory, as they lost fewer ships and men. The British press reported this and Admiral Jellicoe was criticised for being overly cautious in the battle and was later sacked. But within days, attitudes changes and Jutland was seen by some people as a victory for the British. This was because Germany never again tried to challenge the British Grand Fleet and stayed in their bases for the rest of the war.
Who really won the Battle of Jutland is a topic that is still debated now, 100 years on.

The disruption includes:
Network Rail said CrossCountry, Great Western Railway and South West Trains were all affected with severe delays on dozens of services.
London Midland said the derailment had a knock-on effect on it trains, with hours of delays expected to last throughout the day and into the weekend.
Councils were working with emergency services to minimise disruption in areas of flash flooding, said Martin Tett at the Local Government Agency.
"The lack of warning and intensity of flash foods makes them very difficult to guard against," he said.
Thames Valley Fire Control said it had received "an enormous number of calls" since 18.00 BST on Thursday for Berkshire alone.
"There were a total of 174 calls which resulting in 158 incidents, 47 of which were flood related," a spokesman said.
Mashood Shah, who lives at Walton Terrace in Woking, is one of hundreds of people across the country whose homes have flooded.
He described the moment water came pouring under his front door around midnight.

"I put them on and I came rushing down. I told my little brother 'stay up there, I will pass you everything'.
"The water came nearly to the top of my wellington boots."
Neighbour Beryl Baker said she had been flooded 11 times in the 66 years she had lived in her home.
The 84-year-old said there was faeces coming up through drains inside her bathroom.
"It's terrible, really terrible," she said. "I think it's awful that you've got to put up with this in this day and age. Especially at my age."
Met Office meteorologist Martin Combe said 32.8mm of rain had fallen in just three hours in Farnborough, Hampshire - nearly half the 70mm average for September.

Faletau did not start for Wales in the 2017 Six Nations in an injured-disrupted season.
But the former Newport Gwent Dragons back-rower has been named man-of-the-match in three matches for Bath since the end of the tournament and was outstanding against Gloucester.
"He's world class and it goes to show how well Ross Moriarty, Justin Tipuric and Sam Warburton were playing to keep him out of the Wales team," added Williams on BBC Wales' Scrum V programme.
"I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up playing at six and Vunipola at eight and then Warburton at seven.
"I think that's something [Lions coach Warren] Gatland would look at.
"He's got all the skills Taulupe, and it's a real bonus for the Lions that he's fit and firing."
Faletau was an ever-present at number eight for Wales between the 2011 World Cup until the autumn of 2016.
A knee injury curtailed his involvement in the autumn international series when Moriarty impressed when he was drafted-in as cover.
A recurrence of the injury meant Faletau missed Wales' opening Six Nations game against Italy and he was named on the bench for the remaining four matches.
England number eight Vunipola is Faletau's cousin, and played schoolboy rugby in Gwent alongside his brother Mako - also in the Lions squad - and the Wales international.
Ross Taggart, 31, throttled 54-year-old Carol Taggart after an argument shortly before Christmas last year.
The judge, Lord Uist, sentenced him to life in prison and ordered him to serve a minimum of 18 years.
Taggart had denied murdering his mother on 21 or 22 December last year at the house they shared at Hill of St Margaret in Dunfermline.
Taggart was also convicted for attempting to pervert the course of justice after he hid his mother's body within a caravan park in Pettycur Bay, Kinghorn.
He was found guilty after a trial at the High Court in Edinburgh.
The judge told him: "How you have lived with your conscience since you murdered your mother, I do not know."
Lord Uist said: "You have been convicted by the unanimous verdict of the jury of the terrible crime of the murder of your own mother, a woman who did a great deal, indeed probably too much, for you in the course of her life.
"In the course of an argument on December 21 or 22 last year you caused her head injuries and throttled her to death.
"You thereafter embarked on a calculated course of deceit by reporting her as missing to the police and persistently lying about your actions."
Taggart's sister Lorraine Bristow Taggart, 27, said: "As a family we will try to move forward. However, even given today's outcome, we shall never get over my mum Carol's death. We will simply get further away from the event.
"She was a 54-year-old mum and a gran-of-five.
"Despite her strong willed nature, she was loved by us all and is missed every day by us and we are devastated by how cruelly she was taken from us."
Taggart claimed his mother had stormed out of the house in Dunfermline, where she ran a children's nursery business, in the early hours of 22 December last year, sparking a missing person search.
He then treated himself to a night out in Edinburgh with cocktails and a meal and a visit to the cinema to see The Hunger Games using his mother's credit card.
Days later he visited a pawnbrokers in the city looking to sell a favourite diamond ring of his mother, claiming it had been left to him. The ring sale did not go through, but he did get £100 for a gold bracelet.
Taggart claimed his mother had left in her car taking her bag and keys, but leaving her phone.
Taggart told the court that he had been off work since October after returning from a trip to New York where his mother had taken him for his 30th birthday.
He claimed his mother had always been "very supportive" but the court heard previously she accused him of being "a sponger" to her in a message.
Mrs Taggart suffered a head injury when she was attacked and blood was later found at her home and at the caravan along with sign of a clean up effort.
Blood was also found on one of Taggart's trainers. He claimed his mother suffered nose bleeds.
Advocate depute Iain McSporran accused Taggart of being "an accomplished and plausible liar".
Taggart's sister, Ms Bristow, said he was her mother's "blue-eyed boy".
She said on 23 December Taggart contacted her husband and she could hear what her brother was saying on the phone. "I could hear him saying mum was missing... They had an argument and she stormed out the house. It was during the night she had left."
Mrs Bristow said: "My mum wouldn't storm out her own house. I have had arguments, she would tell you to leave."
Det Ch Insp Keith Hardie, of Police Scotland, said: "During the initial inquiries to trace Carol-Anne Taggart, her son Ross provided various pieces of information to police that were either inaccurate or completely false.
"His intentions were to hinder the investigation to find his mother and establish what had happened to her.
"After Carol-Anne's body was found, it was established she had been subjected to a significant level of violence prior to her death and as a result of the evidence gathered during our inquiries, Ross Taggart was quickly arrested.
"The conclusion of this trial will now allow the rest of the Taggart family to begin to move on with their lives and I would like to thank them for their continued support and assistance during this investigation."
He added: "I suspect the motive might have been financial. I think Ross had hit on hard times and was certainly struggling financially, that was the impression we got.
"Then again to do that to your own mother and the total disregard he showed for her even after he had killed her, placing her under a caravan, is just beyond comprehension."
The luge, which translates as 'sled', sees competitors travelling feet-first down an icy track at up to 85mph - with only a helmet for protection.
The competitor lies on a pod made of moulded fibreglass, designed to match the contours of the slider.
The pod sits on two metal runners called steels which curve upwards. These are attached to 'kufens' at the front which steer the pod. Kufens and steels are longer on the doubles luge.
There are no brakes. To slow down, the slider drags their feet along the ice and grips the kufens.
Luge has many benefits, though they may not initially be clear to you when standing at the top of the run for the first time.
Given the confined space in which lugers operate, any small movement is key - so the sport encourages strong movement skills along with improved agility, balance, and coordination.
Strength and conditioning are essential to withstand the speeds and G-forces encountered as you progress in the sport.
Yes, you can learn to luge in Britain. Chill Factor-e in Manchester now offers a dedicated luge facility. It's only 60m long and far removed from the Olympic event, but it will offer you a taste.
Beyond that, anyone keen to pursue luge in the UK will have to be prepared to travel abroad to improve. Britain's only Olympic luger of recent times, AJ Rosen, was born and trains in the United States.
Luge takes it influence from early sled competitions in Scandinavia, as well as the inception of sports like skeleton and bobsleigh in Switzerland and St Moritz.
Team GB's website explains that an Australian student, George Robertson, won what is reputed to be the world's first international sled race in 1883, on a 4km stretch of Swiss road.
Luge events were introduced to Olympic competition for the first time in 1964, when Thomas Kohler of East Germany became the first gold medallist. The programme hasn't changed from its original Olympic format, although luge competitors now use the same course as the bobsleigh.

Around Whitehall and senior levels of the NHS in England I am hearing the view that there needs to be a cross-party debate on what can be delivered over the next five years and beyond.
That might sound naive with a General Election looming, but there is a growing belief that the financial and demographic challenges require non-partisan discussion, with the public made aware of what can realistically be expected.
That was very much the theme of today's letter to The Times by some leading lights in the health world. The president of the Royal College of Physicians and two non-executive directors of NHS England are among the signatories.
They argue that pressure on health and social care budgets are such that difficult decisions have to be made over financing the service. While acknowledging the need for further efficiency savings in the NHS, they say that the next government will have to find new sources of funding - either from higher taxation or charging patients for some services. Without new money, they argue, there will have to be a review of what is available on the NHS.
The NHS has been providing care free at the point of use for 66 years. A recent report by the US think-tank, the Commonwealth Fund, said it was the most efficient and safest healthcare system out of 11 leading economies.
But there are major challenges ahead.
The population is expanding, demand for a wider range of drugs and treatments is growing and people are living longer.
Yet all main parties are committed to tight controls on public spending for a few years in the drive to bring down government borrowing.
What can the UK afford? What do we want from the NHS? Should the service do things differently? How should big health issues such as diabetes and obesity be tackled?
These are all big and important questions - and there are many more. I look forward to exploring what the answers might be,
But in a country torn apart by civil war, the disposal process is likely to be fraught with difficulties. So how will it work?
Different techniques are used for destroying chemical munitions and chemical agents, but most methods involve either:
Destroying chemical weapons, armed with explosives, carries extra risks. One solution is the use of mobile destruction units, which can be moved into place relatively quickly and therefore avoid the dangers of transporting live weapons through a warzone.
Some of these mobile units destroy chemical agents by surrounding them with explosives and placing them in an armour-plated chamber, known as a "bang box". The explosion destroys the munition and the chemical agent.
The US military has developed a mobile unit, called the Explosive Destruction System (EDS), which uses chemicals to neutralise the toxic agent. It has been used to destroy more than 1,700 items in the US since 2001 and can handle up to six weapons at a time.
Another system which may be employed in Syria uses so-called "hot-detonation technology". It heats the munitions inside a detonation chamber to about 550 degrees C - hot enough to destroy the weapon and its chemical contents.
This method has been developed by a Swedish company Dynasafe and is being used in the destruction of chemical weapons in China, Germany and the US.
It remains unclear which techniques will be used to destroy the Syrian chemical weapons. The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) - which is supervising the task - has said all "expedient methods" would be used.
Chemical agents that have not been loaded into weapons are simpler to deal with. The intense heat of the furnace transforms the agent into less harmful products that can be dealt with as hazardous waste at a commercial treatment centre.
But environmental concerns about incineration have meant that the neutralisation has grown in popularity as a process. The chemical agent is pumped into a tank, where water and caustic soda are added, which makes it less toxic and treatable either as hazardous waste or it can be incinerated in a second tank.
The chemical weapons can be destroyed in situ using mobile units, or moved to another location for large-scale processing.
Ralph Trapp, formerly with the OPCW, said: "One thing I can say for sure is they are not going to do it the normal way, where you have the time and leisure to consolidate the stockpile. That is going to take a few years. They don't have the time to do that."
He suggests the Syrians may have to adopt a more "patchwork approach" where weapons are first put beyond use, by removing the charges and filling the payloads with concrete, or burying them in concrete.
Under the terms of the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC), dumping chemical agents at sea or burying them deep underground is not allowed.
Destroying weapons by carrying out controlled explosions in deep pits - an approach used in Iraq in the 1990s - would also be excluded by the convention, because of the risks to the surrounding population.
Patricia Lewis, from the London-Based think tank Chatham House, says she would favour shipping the bulk agent out of Syria to a country like Russia.
"Because Russia has taken the initiative here, they have that responsibility now to make sure it works."
Russia has a naval base at Tartus in Syria where the chemical weapons could be taken and then shipped to another location. But there may be concerns, under the CWC, about allowing the shipment of chemical munitions through foreign waters.
Russia already has a chemical weapons destruction programme, although it is currently operating at full capacity and still has a considerable amount of Russian weapons to destroy before its programme is complete.
Iraq and more recently Libya have both had chemical weapons stockpiles destroyed.
In Iraq, UN weapons inspectors located chemical weapons facilities and sealed them up. Once sealed they were effectively put beyond use.
Alastair Hay, professor of environmental toxicology at Leeds University, said the Iraq model was a possible option.
"As long as these things are secure, that is the first guarantee and then you have to set about destroying them in the best way possible," he said.
The Libyan stockpile was much smaller and a disposal plant was built to deal with it - although a further stockpile of mustard gas was later uncovered after the overthrow of the Gaddafi regime.
Under the terms of the CWC, Syria has been given nine months to complete the destruction of its chemical weapons.
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has said he is committed to a plan to destroy his country's chemical weapons but warned it could take about a year.
Professor Hay said he hoped the Syrians should be given a bit of "latitude" - if the destruction programme falls behind: "If the work is going well, and for some technical reason there is a hiccup, or if the sheer volume of material cannot be processed in time, I am reasonably hopeful that if it is clear that Syria is not just stalling for time, then there will have to be some give in the deadline."
US and Russia have the biggest stockpiles of chemical weapons-related equipment in the world.
According to the OPCW about 81% of the world's declared stockpile had been destroyed by July 2013. The US had destroyed about 90% and Russia about 74%.
However deadlines had already been extended from 2007 to 2012 and now Russia has pledged to complete its programme by 2015 and the US 2023.
Both Russian and the US are signatories to the CWC and enforcement of the convention is overseen by the OPCW, based in The Hague. The OPCW provided the scientists who carried out the recent weapons inspections in Damascus and it is likely it would oversee the destruction programme.
The chief UN weapons inspector, Ake Sellstrom, told the BBC it would be difficult to find and destroy all of Syria's chemical weapons, but he believes it is achievable: "It is doable, but of course it will be stressful work.
"Depending on the position by the Syrian government and the position by the opposition. Depending on how much they could negotiate. It could be done. It would be a difficult job."

The Blues are still top but are only a point clear of Liverpool and two ahead of Manchester City, who have played two matches fewer and drew 1-1 at Arsenal.
Asked whether Chelsea could still win the league for the first time since 2009-10, Mourinho said: "Now it's impossible to win the title.
You have players who are fantastic in some games and disappear in others
"We depend too much on other results."
He added: "When you depend a little it's possible, when you depend a lot I don't think it is possible.
"Mathematically it is still possible but one thing is mathematics and another is reality."
Palace, whose victory was their first in six games, went ahead when Chelsea captain John Terry headed Joel Ward's cross into his own net.
Mourinho admitted his side deserved nothing against a Palace team who are still only five points clear of the relegation zone despite a hugely impressive win.
He praised defenders Branislav Ivanovic, Cesar Azpilicueta, Terry and Gary Cahill but said the other players lacked the correct "mentality and a little bit of quality".
"Mentality because the opponent beat us clearly on that," said Mourinho.
"Crystal Palace had a strong mentality, were aggressive and committed, with every one of them playing to the top of their potential.
"Ivanovic, Azpilicueta, Cahill, Terry - they perform in the sun, on small pitches, on big pitches, against aggressive teams, not aggressive teams, possession teams and not possession teams. They perform every game from day one to last day.
"But you have other players who are fantastic in some games and they disappear in others."
Mourinho also explained why he ran to a ball boy in injury time after the youngster failed to release the ball to Azpilicueta promptly.
"It is not right to educate kids to do that," said Mourinho.
"I went to stop [Azpilicueta]. I was afraid he would lose control of his emotions and push the kid or do something like Eden [Hazard] did last year at Swansea.
"I told the boy to not do that. I told him if he does this, 'one day somebody will punch you'."
Hazard was sent off in a League Cup game at Swansea last season when he tried to kick a ball away from underneath a ball boy who had fallen on top of it.

Full fifth Ashes Test day one report from Sydney
Match scorecard
Boyd Rankin will have spent many hours dreaming about his Test debut, but even in his worst nightmares he will not have envisaged things panning out quite as they did.
The Warwickshire fast bowler, preferred to Tim Bresnan, got through eight mixed overs before pulling up with a hamstring injury one ball into his second spell after lunch.
Brisbane: 100-5 to 295 all out
Adelaide: 257-5 to 570-9 dec
Perth: 143-5 to 385 all out
Melbourne: 164-9 to 204 all out
Sydney: 97-5 to 326 all out
After leaving the field for treatment, Rankin came back after tea and was reintroduced to the attack, but once again he lasted just a single ball before feeling his left hamstring and limping off the field.
England later insisted the 29-year-old merely had a case of cramp and should be fit to bowl in the second innings.
Rankin's troubles meant a more prominent role for Stokes, who was the pick of the England bowlers by some distance.
The Durham all-rounder bowled a consistent off stump line on a full length and reaped his rewards with six wickets including the prize scalp of Australia captain Michael Clarke.
Following his century in Perth, Stokes became only the second Test cricketer after Clarke to post a score of more than 120 and take a six-wicket haul in his first four matches.
Stokes's Durham team-mate Scott Borthwick struggled for a consistent length on his Test debut as he conceded 49 runs from seven overs.
He did, however, take his first Test wicket when Mitchell Johnson slog-swept him to long-on.
Once again, Brad Haddin was Australia's man for a crisis. Coming in at 97-5, he took advantage of some short-pitched bowling from England to crack 13 fours in his 90-ball 75. With Smith in tow, he changed the momentum of the innings.
Haddin became only the second wicketkeeper to score a half-century in each match of a five-Test series and the first player to do it an Ashes series since Australia's Keith Stackpole in 1972.
The wicketkeeper, who also scored a hundred at Adelaide, has made 465 runs in the series - second only to David Warner. His average of 66.42 is the best of any player on either side.
England all-rounder Ben Stokes: "The other pitches have been a bit flatter - there was a bit more in this. You looked to bowl top of off stump and you didn't need to stray from that line and length. As the ball got older it stopped swinging and when that happens out here it becomes easier to bat.
"You've just got to try to keep a level head and not get too carried away, whether it's good or bad. There's still a lot more to play for in this game. Losing the wicket tonight wasn't ideal but hopefully tomorrow we can get runs on the board. We've just got to take what comes at us."
Australia batsman Steve Smith: "Brad was great to bat with. I sort of just took a back seat and just watched him go - and the way he played his shots today was brilliant. In tough circumstances, he just comes in and tries to switch the momentum of the game - and he's done it on numerous occasions this series. He's played beautifully."
Former England batsman Geoffrey Boycott: "It's been good, exciting and dramatic cricket. We have seen a lot of players with character stand up to be counted. Steve Smith does not look an aesthetic player but he has a lot of spirit and he will take the plaudits for getting the hundred but it was Brad Haddin who gave Australia the spark.

"Ben Stokes has some go in him - he is aggressive and competitive. You have to be like that as a bowler, you can't be soft and nice. He could make a really good cricketer for England. We've found a good player."
Former England captain Michael Vaughan: "Ben Stokes is the one positive for England in this series. He's got his mate Scott Borthwick out there with him today and Durham are producing some good, young cricketers. Their coach Geoff Cook and captain Paul Collingwood deserve a lot of credit. Colly is actually coaching Scotland at the moment. Why is he not involved with England?"

Arnautovic played 45 minutes of a 1-0 pre-season win over Neuchatel Xamax on Monday, but limped off as Mark Hughes rotated his entire team at half-time.
The 28-year-old joined Stoke from Werder Bremen for £2m in 2013 and signed a new four-year deal in 2016.
Arnautovic, who has played 62 times for his country, has scored 26 goals in 145 appearances for the Potters.
He scored seven times in 35 matches in all competitions in 2016-17.
Mae'r elusen yn dweud bod prinder grwpiau i gefnogi cleifion ym Mhowys a'r gogledd, oherwydd diffyg gwirfoddolwyr a phrinder amser gan staff y Gwasanaeth Iechyd.
Mae'r elusen yn dweud bod y sefyllfa yn well yn y de ac yn y gorllewin.
Yn ôl Llywodraeth Cymru mae'r Gwasanaeth Iechyd yn gweithio yn agos gyda'r elusen a'u lleisiau yn cael eu clywed wrth gynllunio sut i ofalu am bobl gydag anhwylderau'r ysgyfaint.
Mae Derek Thomas o Felinwen ger Caerfyrddin yn dioddef yn arw o afiechyd ar ei ysgyfaint.
Mae o'n dibynnu ar botel ocsigen ac yn ei chludo ar ei gefn.
"O'n i'n gweithio gyda glo am ddeng mlynedd, yn ysgolion yng Nghaerfyrddin blynydde yn ôl, a'r fumes yn mynd lawr i'n lungs a so nhw'n gweithio fel y dylen nhw," meddai.
Bob mis, mae Derek yn dod i Abergwili, ac un o gyfarfodydd grŵp sy'n cynnig cefnogaeth.
Ond dyw sefyllfa Derek ddim yn unigryw.
Mae cwrdd â'r grŵp Anadlu'n Rhydd yn gyfle i Derek i gymdeithasu, dros baned, gyda rhai eraill o'r ardal sydd hefyd â phroblemau.
"Mae pobl sy'n dod yma o bob ardal o Sir Gaerfyrddin. Maen nhw'n falch i ddod ac maen nhw'n gallu cwrdd a siarad â phobol eraill am y problemau sydd gyda nhw," meddai.

Sport Wales' director of elite performance Brian Davies said it may "scare a few athletes", but official advice remains unchanged.
The letter to the World Health Organization recommends postponing or moving the Games from Rio.
It says efforts to eradicate mosquitoes with the virus have failed.
The Zika virus is linked to severe birth defects.
Between February and April, Brazil registered more than 90,000 likely cases of Zika. The number of babies born with Zika-linked defects stood at 4,908 in April.
Mr Davies said the letter was "unfortunate timing" but changed nothing.
"We will take our advice from the key organisations that we work with," he said.
"As long as that advice doesn't change, then our athletes can consider themselves in a safe environment."
He added that Welsh athletes had not come to him with any concerns over the virus.
"They're focussed on trying to be picked in the first place," he said.
"And if they are concerned, they will put faith in the organisations that are designed to take and bring them back from the Games safely."
The police and procurator fiscal service have been notified of the finds at Thrumster, near Wick, as normal procedure by archaeologists.
The remains have still to be radiocarbon dated to determine how old they are.
Ancient human remains have previously been uncovered in Caithness.
AOC Archaeology and Yarrows Heritage Trust have been leading teams of 12 to 15 volunteers on the dig.
Dr Andy Heald, of AOC Archaeology, said they had established the site held the ruins of a broch, a massive stone wall Iron Age roundhouse.
He said the bones found could be those of a man.
Dr Heald said: "At the moment we have no idea on a date. They could be 50 years old, or 3,000 years old."
If analysis finds that the remains were ancient then they could have been placed as part of a ritual honouring the dead.
Dr Heald said: "When skulls were found in the 19th Century people thought it had to do with cannibalism, or were war trophies.
"Cannibalism is just nonsense."
He added: "At another Caithness site at Whitegate human remains, horses and even puppies were placed at a broch 300 years after it was abandoned.
"It was done in some sort of memory ritual, or for it to be a monument on the landscape."
Caithness has more brochs per square mile than any other part of Scotland, according to Highland Council.
Examples of the ancient buildings are also found on Orkney.
Gardner came through Villa's academy system and has since made 33 appearances for the club.
The 24-year-old has been on loan with five other teams, including a six-month loan spell in the second tier with Nottingham Forest last season.
Aston Villa are 13th in the Championship table, six points outside the play-off places.
Meanwhile, defender Easah Suliman has signed a new deal to stay at Villa Park until 2019.
The 18-year-old has yet to make his Villa debut, but has played in 12 games on loan at League Two side Cheltenham this season.
The Twitter account of the French government posted a message, appealing to people to share only reliable information from official sources.
It comes after false information and pictures were circulated on the internet as the situation in Nice was unfolding.
Pictures and tweets of a fire around the Eiffel tower also began circulating, suggesting a co-ordinated double attack, but again the information was false.
It did not stop social media users sharing the rumour and prompted a correction from police in Paris.
In Cannes, a tweet was issued denying any security incident had occurred there.
The suspect in the attack has been named locally as Mohamed Lahouaiej-Bouhlel but a number of images of other people, falsely accused of involvement, have been published online, including by major news organisations.
Veerender Jubbal, who is Sikh, was incorrectly named as a terror suspect for a second time, and a doctored image of him posted online.
Not only was he wrongly identified as being responsible for the attack in Nice - the doctored image of Mr Jubbal was also circulated after the Paris attacks showing him wearing an explosives belt and carrying a Koran. @SikhProf tweeted: "People are wrongly identifying my Sikh friend as being responsible for the #Nice attack. Please help end the rumours."
Messages were circulated that the truck driver shouted Allahu akbar, which is Arabic for God is great.
As yet, no official source has said this happened.
French prosecutors say no group has admitted carrying out the attack but it bears the hallmarks of jihadist terrorism.
Following tragic events many appeals for help tracing loved ones are shared on social media. Facebook page SOS Nice has been set up to find missing relatives, probably because within hours of the Nice attack false pictures of victims were being shared on social media by trolls.
This man's picture appeared online as a purported victim in Nice, but it has been shared before on social media as a supposed missing person following the EgyptAir crash in May, the attacks at Ataturk airport in Turkey last month and the Dallas shootings.
Many social media users have been quick to point out the fakes and help dismiss the misinformation. @Lil_RoxaNe tweeted that the picture of the man above was a fake, and others said people who posted such fakes should be ashamed.
The Nice attack provides another example that some people take advantage of tragedy to spread false rumours online. It is an increasing problem for those affected by such events and those searching for the truth.

The 29-year-old's two-year extension comes after more than 370 appearances for the Dons, the only club he has played for.
He made his senior debut in 2004 and won the Scottish League Cup with Aberdeen just under 10 years later.
"I'm delighted to have signed again," said Considine. "I've always enjoyed playing football here."
In recent weeks, left-back Graeme Shinnie and winger Jonny Hayes have committed themselves to Aberdeen until the end of season 2018-19.
"We've got quite a small squad and the unity amongst the boys is fantastic and I just want to be part of that," Considine explained.
"At the moment, the team's doing very, very well and that helps. This team really is going places."
Aberdeen, who reached the Scottish Cup quarter-finals by beating Ross County on Saturday, play Motherwell in Wednesday's rearranged Scottish Premiership fixture and can go three points clear of third-placed Rangers.
Forward Niall McGinn, defender Ash Taylor and captain and midfielder Ryan Jack are nearing the end of their current contracts with Aberdeen.
And manager Derek McInnes said: "Hopefully, over the next few weeks there is more clarity about that.
"All these talks are ongoing and hopefully we can, as we have done, go quietly about our business.
"Andy thoroughly deserves his new deal. If he plays another few games, he's into the top 10 of all-time appearances for Aberdeen, which is testament to him. He's played under a lot of managers.
"He's a player who has really improved. His level of performance has been excellent. Athletically, Andy's in great nick. He looks after himself, a top pro. The experience he's now earned will help him over the next few seasons.
"He's an Aberdeen supporter and he plays the game in that manner."
He has attempted to walk the line between his public and private lives. Inevitably, he has had to embrace publicity at times in order to promote the good causes he supports, but has also drawn a line when the attention has become too much.

During his 10 years in the Armed Forces, Captain Wales, as he became known, saw action in Afghanistan twice, most recently in 2012 to 2013 as an Apache helicopter co-pilot and gunner.
The prince, now 32, has said his Army experience will "stay with me for the rest of my life".
In this new phase of his life centred around voluntary work, he has worked with conservation experts in sub-Saharan Africa.
And, like his mother before him, his work in Africa has also focused on humanitarian causes, via the charity he set up, Sentebale, to help children affected by HIV and Aids.
Last autumn, Harry continued his support of the charity Walking With the Wounded by joining five wounded service personnel for part of their 1,000-mile (1,600km) trek around Britain.
This follows a previous trek with the charity in which he walked 200 miles to the South Pole as patron of the South Pole Allied Challenge 2013.
Harry has publicly supported a number of other military charities too, including Help for Heroes and ABF the Soldiers' Charity.
In March 2014, he launched the Invictus Games for injured members of the armed forces and in May 2016 the second incarnation of the event was held in Orlando.
But as well as his military and charitable work, the prince has previously been in the spotlight for less admirable reasons.
An early upset involved Harry smoking cannabis.
St James's Palace confirmed in January 2002 that the then 17-year-old had "experimented with the drug on several occasions" but said the use was not "regular".
In October 2004, there was a scuffle with a photographer outside a club.
A royal spokesman said at the time that the 20-year-old prince "was hit in the face by a camera when photographers crowded around him".
"In pushing the camera away, it's understood that a photographer's lip was cut," the spokesman added.
In 2005, there was widespread outrage when an image came to light of the prince at a fancy dress birthday party dressed as a Nazi.
Clarence House later issued a statement saying: "Prince Harry has apologised for any offence or embarrassment he has caused. He realises it was a poor choice of costume."
And in 2009, Harry was forced to apologise for using offensive language to describe an Asian member of his Army platoon after video footage of the incident emerged.
St James's Palace said the prince was "extremely sorry for any offence his words might cause" but said he had "used the term without any malice and as a nickname about a highly popular member of his platoon".
Clarence House complained in 2005 that the prince's safety was put at risk when paparazzi followed Harry and his then girlfriend, Chelsy Davy, as they were driven along a dirt track in Botswana.
There was further difficulty for the prince when a former art teacher at Eton claimed she had done some of Harry's A-level coursework - allegations later rejected at a tribunal.
Harry was a constant presence at the London 2012 Games, during which he was an Olympic ambassador.
He was highly visible during the Queen's Jubilee in the same year, and as part of the celebrations completed his first royal solo tour overseas with visits to Belize, the Bahamas, Brazil and Jamaica.
However, photos appeared in August 2012 of the prince and a young woman naked in a Las Vegas hotel room - a reminder of his partying image.
The two photos, first published on US gossip website TMZ, were taken on a private break with friends, with the site reporting the prince was in a group playing "strip billiards".
He later said he had "probably let myself down, I let my family down, I let other people down".
"But at the end of the day I was in a private area and there should have been a certain amount of privacy that one should expect."
Prince Harry's military career has undoubtedly been affected by media attention.
He was left disappointed in May 2007 when Army chiefs decided not to send him to Iraq because of "unacceptable risks".
He then spent 10 weeks serving in Afghanistan in 2008 - the first royal in more than 25 years to serve in a war zone - but had to pull out amid concerns for his safety after news leaked of his unpublicised deployment.
He returned to Afghanistan as an Apache helicopter pilot from September 2012 to January 2013, before qualifying as an Apache commander in July 2013.
Despite his decision to leave the Army, Harry will return to work in a voluntary capacity with the Ministry of Defence's Recovery Capability Programme, supporting wounded or sick servicemen and women.
Born at St Mary's Hospital, Paddington, on 15 September 1984, the prince was christened Henry Charles Albert David by the Archbishop of Canterbury in December 1984 in St George's Chapel, Windsor.
But it was officially announced from the start of his life that he would be known as Harry.
He attended the same schools as his brother William, starting at Jane Mynors' Nursery School in London in September 1987.
In 1989 Prince Harry joined Prince William at Wetherby School, moving to Ludgrove School in Berkshire in September 1992 and entering Eton in 1998.
He left Eton with a grade B in his art A-level and a D in geography. He had dropped his third A-level subject, history of art, after taking the AS-level exam.
Before joining the Army, Harry took a gap year, working on a sheep farm in Australia and with Aids orphans in Lesotho.
Although he is now 32, many people around the world will find it hard to forget the image of him as a 12-year-old at the funeral of his mother, Princess Diana, in 1997.
He walked behind the hearse that carried his mother's coffin to Westminster Abbey, accompanied by his brother, father, grandfather and uncle.
Harry was best man at his brother William's wedding in April 2011 and has since spoken of how hard it was not to have his late mother there.
In recent years he has had counselling to help him deal with his grief.
In a candid interview with the Daily Telegraph, he describes shutting down all of his emotions for nearly 20 years and refusing to thinking about his mother.
This, he said, had a "quite serious effect" on his personal life and his work, and brought him close to a breakdown "on numerous occasions".
As one of the world's most high-profile bachelors, Harry's love life has drawn much interest over the years.
In early 2014 speculation had been mounting that he might propose to girlfriend Cressida Bonas, but the couple then split up.
In late 2016, he confirmed a new relationship with US actress Meghan Markle, but felt forced to issue a statement accusing journalists of harassing her.
He described nightly legal battles to keep defamatory stories out of papers, attempts by reporters and photographers to get into her home and the "bombardment" of nearly every friend and loved one in her life.
Ms Markle, 35, may not have been a familiar name to British audiences, but she is better known in the US for her role as Rachel Zane in TV drama Suits.
One of the worst affected areas is Ceredigion, along the A487 coast road between Cardigan and Aberystwyth.
The Mid and West service says crews are on their way to rescue four elderly people stuck in a car on the Gwbert Road, Cardigan.
At 20:30 GMT on Thursday, Natural Resources Wales had issued three flood warnings and many flood alerts.
About 15 to 20 homes have been flooded around the Ceredigion coast road. Fire crews from New Quay, Aberaeron, Aberystwyth, Lampeter and Tregaron are all dealing with incidents.
Just before 19:00 GMT, firefighters had to rescue another group from a vehicle at Cennarth Bridge, Newcastle Emlyn.
Meanwhile, South Wales Fire and Rescue Service says it has also been dealing with flooding incidents.
A crew has rescued a female driver trapped in a car in flood water at Pontsarn, Bridgend.
Firefighters are also dealing with flooding close to properties at Harriet Street, Trecynon, and clearing flood water at Ash Street in Abercwmboi, in Rhondda Cynon Taff.
Crews in North Wales have received reports of flooding in Gwynedd, but say the incidents have been passed on to the council to deal with.
Earlier today, rail commuters were warned routes could close at short notice over the weekend due to potential flooding.
A yellow "be aware" weather warning for rain has been in force all day, and in place until 21:00 on Thursday.
The RAC predicts 36.5 million "leisure" journeys in the first fortnight of the English and Welsh school holidays.
It said drivers would experience "customary chaos" and warned of traffic hotspots on motorways to popular destinations.
The busiest period is likely to be Saturday between 11:00 and 16:00 BST.

RAC traffic spokesman Rod Dennis said: "This weekend will bring unwelcome customary chaos to Britain's major roads as people flock to take advantage of the first week or two of the summer holidays on home soil.
"While not as busy as Easter, which is typically the pinnacle of leisure traffic due to it being the first break for several months, the Great British summer holiday getaway begins with an initial rush for the roads this weekend as that's when the majority of schools break up.
"Sadly, for many the very much-needed family summer holiday might begin stressfully as long tailbacks are inevitable, particularly in the South West on the M5 which is the main conduit to the beaches of Devon and Cornwall."
A new stretch of dual carriageway on the A30 west of Temple should provide some relief for drivers heading to Cornwall, he said.
• M5 Almondsbury Interchange and from Bristol to Taunton
• A30 and A38 Exeter to Cornwall
• A303 Andover to Ilminster
• M4 between Cardiff and Swansea
• M25 between Gatwick and M1
• A23/M23 to Brighton
• A34 and M3 south and south west to the south coast
• A47 Swaffham to Great Yarmouth
• A11 Thetford to Norwich
• M55 between Preston and Blackpool
• A14 between the Midlands and the east coast
• A590/A591 between the M6 and the Lake District
• A66 between M6 and the coast
• M53 between Liverpool and Chester

There are hundreds of roadworks planned for the weekend on motorway and major trunk roads where the delay to journeys is expected to be more than 30 minutes, with many of them taking place overnight.
Highways England will not be lifting roadworks for the weekend. It only does so when a getaway coincides with a bank holiday, such as at Christmas or Easter.
Work with warnings of "severe" disruption include:
Highways England chief executive Jim O'Sullivan said: "I want all drivers to arrive at their destinations safely during the summer holidays.
"We are urging motorists to make sure they are ready to go on their journeys by checking their fuel, tyres and oil. With a few simple checks everyone will be safer."
Figures from the organisation revealed 22 drivers a day broke down last July and August because they had run out of fuel.
The RAC's figures are based on the travel plans of 3,100 motorists, with 36.5 million leisure journeys expected between Friday 21 July and Sunday 6 August.
West Ham complained to the Premier League after Fulham manager Rene Meulensteen said midfielder Morrison wanted to sign for them.
The 20-year-old has responded to the "frustrating" reports.
"I always try to keep my focus on the next game and show people with my performances that I want to do well for West Ham United," he said.

Morrison, who has 18 months left on his contract, worked with Meulensteen when the Dutchman was a coach at Manchester United.
It had also been suggested that he had threatened to go on strike but West Ham denied those claims, insisting the player has trained this week following his recent groin injury.
Morrison told West Ham's website: "I've been working really hard over the past few weeks to get back to full fitness after missing a couple of recent games with a groin injury.
"I'm feeling fine now and I'm hoping to be involved in Saturday's important game with Newcastle and then the Capital One Cup semi-final with Manchester City on Tuesday."
West Ham are unhappy after Meulensteen said: "Yes, I think he does want to come [to Craven Cottage]."
The Premier League has not confirmed receipt of any official complaint.
After watching Fulham beat Norwich 3-0 in their FA Cup third-round replay on Tuesday, Meulensteen - who took over from sacked compatriot Martin Jol in December - confirmed his interest in signing England Under-21 international Morrison.
"We have put in a bid that has been knocked back," he said. "He would add pace, power, unpredictability and a real attacking threat."
Meulensteen said it was too early to tell whether any deal can be struck before the transfer window closes at the end of January.
"We got knocked back, it got rejected, and so we need to review it and move on," he said.
"I've explained how I think about the situation [to the Fulham board], so we'll have to wait and see what happens."
Meulensteen said in his press conference on Thursday that he would not speak further about potential targets.
"I am not going to make any comments on (transfers) because it is going to get me into trouble," he added.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"It is wiser at this moment in time that we are not going to comment on anything that is happening in regards to any transfer news or speculation.
"Things are in hand with the club, with (chief executive) Alistair Mackintosh."
West Ham's complaint is likely to surround Premier League ruling T.8 concerning "statements made publicly by or on behalf of a club expressing interest in acquiring the registration of a contract player".
If the Premier League deems Fulham to be in breach of the rules, the club could face a reprimand or fine.
It is also possible the case could be referred to the Football Association.
Morrison has scored five times in 20 appearances since moving to Upton Park from Old Trafford in January 2012.
A sale of 10% of the shares in Ferrari for $52 each raised $893.1m (£578m) for its owner Fiat Chrysler, which now owns an 80% stake in the company.
As trading began. Ferrari's shares rose 15% to $60, initially valuing the company at more than $10bn.
The Ferrari family owns 10% of the firm, which was founded by Enzo Ferrari in Modena, Italy.
It is now based in nearby Maranello.
Shares in Fiat Chrysler ended down more than 4% after Ferrari's debut on Wall Street.
Ferrari produced its first car, the 125 S, in 1947. The symbol of the firm, a prancing horse - "Cavallino Rampante" - was adopted by Ferrari after being used by an Italian World War 1 pilot, Francesco Baracca, who had it painted on the fuselage of his aircraft.
"Ferrari red" was the colour assigned by the International Automobile Federation to all Italian Grand Prix cars early in the 20th Century.
In 1969, Mr Ferrari sold the Fiat Group a 50% stake in the company, which was increased to a 90% stake in 1988.

Pupils from P7 to S6 at the Community School of Auchterarder were shown how to restart a heart as part of the Save a Life for Scotland campaign.
The campaign aims to train half a million people to be able to carry out the procedure.
The Auchterarder event was also open to the public.
The British Heart Foundation, Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, Trossachs Search and Rescue and NHS Tayside helped provide the CPR training.
The school believes it is the largest such event held in Scotland.
Head teacher Stuart Clyde said: "The pupils are absolutely loving it.
"We thought it would raise the awareness much more if we made it a whole school event.
"We've also included the P7 pupils from the three associated primary schools in our area.
"We have the assembly hall split into two so at any one time there can be 100 people watching the training video and then go to the other side which is kitted out with about 50 mannequins to practice their skills on."
George Allen, 36, had been due to attend Lisburn Magistrate's Court on Monday.
However, his barrister said that he was still in hospital following the incident in June.
Mr Allen, from Rampart Street in Dromore, is accused of inflicting grievous bodily harm with intent on 5 June this year.
He first appeared in court the day after the alleged incident and was granted bail, but that afternoon, when attending his children's school sports day, he was struck by lightning.
Staff had to use a defibrillator on Mr Allen, who was left in a critical condition in intensive care.
He spent a month in a coma after the freak accident at Killowen Primary School in Lisburn, County Antrim.
His son and daughter were also hurt but were discharged from hospital within a few days.
In court on Monday, a prosecuting lawyer said the Public Prosecution Service had received medical evidence on the alleged victim, but they were still awaiting the summary of Mr Allen's police interviews, which would be required before any decision was taken regarding the prosecution.
The case was adjourned until 24 October.
His body was taken through the capital to the royal palace as mourners wept and held up portraits of the late king.
Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn has been named as successor, but has asked for a delay in the process.
The death of the world's longest-reigning monarch sparked an outpouring of grief in Thailand.
Official mourning will last a year. The cabinet declared Friday a government holiday, and flags are to fly at half-mast for the next 30 days.
People have been asked to wear black, and avoid "joyful events" during this period. Cinema screenings, concerts and sports events have been cancelled or postponed.
News websites have turned their pages black and white, and all television channels in Thailand are airing programmes about the king's life.
The crown prince travelled in the convoy carrying the king's body, which will lie at a temple in the royal palace while people pay their respects.
It could be months before the late king's cremation.
"This is the worst loss in my life," said one of those lining the streets.
Later on Friday, the Crown Prince conducted the bathing ceremony of the king's body, a traditional Thai Buddhist funeral rite.
The king had been ill for a long time. When news of his death was announced on Thursday evening, many in the large crowds outside the hospital where he died broke down.
King Bhumibol was widely respected across Thailand, and thought of by many as semi-divine.
He earned the devotion of Thais for his efforts to help the rural poor, such as agricultural development projects, and works of charity.
The monarch was also seen as a stabilising figure in a country often wracked by political turmoil.
Thailand remains under military rule following a coup in 2014.
The country has suffered from political violence and upheaval over the past decade, as well as a long-running Muslim separatist insurgency in the southern provinces which sees regular small-scale bomb attacks.
Though a constitutional monarch with limited official powers, many Thais looked to King Bhumibol to intervene in times of high tension. He was seen as a unifying and calming influence through numerous coups and 20 constitutions.
However, his critics argued he had endorsed military takeovers and at times had failed to speak out against human rights abuses.
The crown prince, who is 64, is much less well known to Thais and has not attained his father's widespread popularity. He spends much of his time overseas, especially in Germany.
While the Thai Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha has said the crown prince will ascend the throne next, there is uncertainty over when that will happen after the prince asked for a delay in succession.
Profile: Crown Prince Vajiralongkorn
Privy Council President Prem Tinsulanonda, a 96-year-old former prime minister, has been named regent in line with the constitution.
He remains as regent until the Thai assembly invites the heir to succeed to the throne, the Bangkok Post reported.
Strict lese-majeste laws protect the most senior members of Thailand's royal family from insult or threat. Public discussion of the succession can be punishable by lengthy jail terms.
Given the pivotal role the king has played in maintaining the balance of power in Thailand's volatile political environment, the succession will be a formidable challenge for the government, says the BBC's Jonathan Head in Bangkok.
The temporary lanes are being introduced between junctions 32 at Rotherham and 34 at Sheffield.
Under the scheme, electronic overhead signs will be installed and the hard shoulder converted into an extra lane from junctions 32 to 35a, Stocksbridge.
Highways England said it would reduce congestion and offer more reliable journey times.
More than 110,000 vehicles use the section between junctions 32 and 35a each day, according to the agency.
A 50mph speed restriction is in place while the narrow lanes are being installed over the next two days.
Work on the whole project is expected to be finished next winter.
When completed, motorists will see electronic overhead signs showing variable speed limits and road traffic information.
Andy Kirk, from the agency, said: "Work on the scheme is progressing well.
"When complete, road users will benefit from reduced congestion and more reliable journey times as a result of the hard shoulder being converted to an extra lane and variable mandatory speed limits being used to keep traffic moving."
The project is one of two schemes across Yorkshire to upgrade the M1 into a smart motorway.
Similar arrangements are also being implemented between junctions 39 and 42 in West Yorkshire and work on this stretch of the motorway is expected to be completed at the end of autumn.
But in 2013, one of West Yorkshire Police's high-ranking officers, Ch Insp Mark Bownass, said allowing motorists to drive on the hard shoulder of the M1 motorway would put lives "in danger".
A coastguard rescue helicopter from Caernarfon was called to the scene at Porth Ceiriad, Abersoch at about 15:00 BST.
A Holyhead coastguard spokeswoman said the man had climbed up about 30ft (9m) to get the frisbee when he got stuck.
She said he was winched to the safety of the beach "a little embarrassed".
North Wales Police and the Abersoch rescue team also attended the rescue.
The fire started in the premises at Bingnian Drive off the Glen Road at about 04:30 BST on Sunday and police said an explosion was reported.
The shop units may have to be demolished as the blaze caused structural damage to the property.
Owner Steven Comerford said he did not know why his business was targeted.
"We've been in the community [for] 18 to 20 years," he said.
"Just don't know why somebody would want to do something like that.
"It's hard enough with the day-to-day runnings of a business and to manage staff and do your daily routines, without the added pressure of [wondering] where do we go from here."
Police have appealed for witnesses.
It hopes to prevent "unconscious bias" and tap a more diverse "talent pool".
For next year's recruitment round for 1,500 graduates and school leavers, an algorithm will consider "contextual" information alongside academic results.
It will take into account disadvantages such as attending an under-performing school or coming from a deprived area.
As an example, Deloitte says an applicant getting three B grades at A-level could be seen as "exceptional" if the average for their school was three D grades.
There will be a "university-blind" approach to selection, so that the name of the university attended will not be known.
The aim is to find students with "potential" and to prevent the recruitment process producing an intake from a narrow range of universities and social backgrounds.
"Improving social mobility is one of the UK's biggest challenges," said David Sproul, senior partner and chief executive of Deloitte UK.
But Mr Sproul said there was also a "business imperative", as firms needed "to hire people who think and innovate differently, come from a variety of backgrounds and bring a range of perspectives".
The move by Deloitte is the latest in a wave of changes by graduate recruiters wanting to look beyond academic results.
Ernst and Young has scrapped a requirement for school leavers to have the equivalent of three B grades at A-level or graduates to have an upper second class degree.
The accountancy firm will remove all academic and education details from its application process.
PricewaterhouseCoopers earlier this year also announced that it would stop using A-levels grades as a threshold for selecting graduate recruits.
Lady Charlotte Peel was 10 years old when she joined family mourners on the train during the state funeral in 1965.
The refurbished train is on show at the National Railway Museum in York to mark the 50th anniversary of the funeral.
Lady Peel said the train had brought back memories that the "whole day was enveloped in sadness for us".
She said her family were proud of her grandfather and "how he gave strength to people in the war".
Winston Churchill was appointed prime minister in 1940 during World War Two.
Lady Peel recalled the day of her trip on the train in 1965 as "grey and cold" and described a "nation's outpouring of grief" on the death of her grandfather.
While looking at the faces of people lined up silently along the train route it had "dawned on me what an amazing man he must have been."
However, it was "lovely" to see the "beautifully restored" train.
"He was a sweet grandfather. His eyes always sparkled when we came into the room," she added.
The locomotive that pulled the funeral train is displayed along with the parcels van that carried the coffin and the carriage that carried his family.

A new survey has indicated they believe mergers of Scotland's colleges to create 20 so-called "regional supercolleges" have "largely failed to deliver".
The survey was commissioned by the Educational Institute of Scotland (EIS) teachers' and lecturers' union.
The Scottish government has said it is committed to building on the success achieved so far in the college sector.
The EIS study found almost 90% of college lecturers taking part did not believe the mergers had improved learning and teaching quality.
The survey, of nearly 1,000 lecturers, found:
The online survey, carried out by the EIS Further Education Lecturers' Association, had a response rate of around 20% - about one in seven of all further education teaching staff.
EIS general secretary Larry Flanagan said the survey "demonstrates that the many benefits that were promised as part of the mergers programme have not been delivered".
He said the "imagined benefits" of the mergers had "yet to become reality".
Mr Flanagan added: "While former members of senior management have enjoyed huge pay-offs and millions of pounds have been squirreled away into secretive Arms' Length Foundations, education provision has continued to be cut and staff continue to suffer a divisive postcode lottery on their terms and conditions."
Responding to the survey, a Scottish government spokesman said that there had been "huge progress".
He added: "Audit Scotland's 2015 report acknowledged that planning for mergers was generally good, that colleges managed the risks associated with staffing changes and that the changes to date have had minimal negative impact on students.
"Progress so far is largely due to the commitment and professionalism of the workforce across Scotland. Our priority is therefore to build on this, ensuring that colleges have robust plans for supporting and developing their staff."
After putting on 46 for the first wicket, Warwickshire's openers were undone by the introduction of Jamie Overton into the attack.
Ian Westwood played on for 21, before Overton yorked Andy Umeed for 24.
Craig Overton removed Ian Bell for eight before an early finish on 92-3.
Having started on time, play lasted for an hour and a half in the morning session before a rain break half an hour before the scheduled lunch.
When they resumed again in early afternoon, only another 62 balls were possible.
Jonathan Trott remains at the crease on 30, accompanied by the recalled Sam Hain, who is unbeaten on eight.
Hain was one of four changes made by the struggling Bears, who gave Championship debuts to young pace bowler Grant Thornton and spinner Sukhit Singh, while bringing in 21-year-old Umeed for his first Championship appearance of the season.
Somerset fast bowler Jamie Overton:
"That has to be one of the best spells I've bowled since I came back from injury, along with my second spell in the one-day game against Hampshire when I took four wickets.
"I want to bowl in quick spells and, as long as I don't go for 10 an over, I'm pretty happy. Today I went for less than four an over so I was pleased with that.
"One thing I've worked hard on over the last few years is my control. The batsmen have to play me. I'm using my bouncer sensibly now. Batsmen now know I've got one to bowl. It's a very handy weapon."
Warwickshire first team coach Jim Troughton told BBC WM:
"With both teams sitting at the bottom of the table this is an intriguing fixture with a lot to play for.
"Any time you can get Ian Bell out is good for the opposition and Craig Overton bowled well for Somerset in that spell after the rain break.
"There looks to be a bit on offer for the bowlers if you put it in the right areas."
Spence, 22, was killed along with his brother Graham and father Noel in a slurry tank accident at the family farm near Hillsborough on Saturday.
Nevin played centre for the provincial side and represented Ireland in a game against the Barbarians last May.
His sister Emma is in a stable condition in hospital after the accident.
Graham Spence, 30, was a married father of two. Noel Spence, 52, is survived by a wife and two daughters.
Ambulance crews were called to the farm just after 18:00 BST on Saturday.
BBC Ireland Correspondent Mark Simpson said: "Initial reports suggested Nevin's father fell into the slurry tank.
"It was reported that one of his sons tried to rescue him, then Nevin got involved, and his sister Emma."
The Health and Safety Executive (HSENI) said two of its senior inspectors attended the scene on Saturday evening.
"From HSENI's initial investigations, it understands that the three family members who entered an underground slurry tank died from the effects of exposure to slurry gases," it said.
"The exact sequence of events is not yet clear but HSENI is investigating a definite line of enquiry."
Emma Spence was taken to the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast where she is recovering from the effects of fume inhalation.
Prayers have been said on Sunday for the family at Ballynahinch Baptist Church, which the Spences attended.
Rev Rodney Stout said the three men were all "incredibly gentle, decent, hard working, with a deep sense of family loyalty".
He said he visited the Spence home on Saturday night and the family were just beginning to come to terms with what had happened.
He said the tragedy would have a huge effect on a very tight-knit community.
Ulster Rugby's Mr Humphreys said Nevin Spence "was a dream player to work with. He was the epitome of what we were looking for.
"On days when nobody else wanted to come in and train, he was there leading from the front.
"All he wanted to do for the remainder of his career was to stay here, win trophies and be successful for Ulster."
Shane Logan, chief executive of Ulster Rugby, said Nevin was "an exceptional young man".
"A man who was killed in his prime aged 22 with an immense future in front of him and we know that because in his 22 years he was a model professional and a model individual," he said.
"A man of absolute integrity, complete determination, great humility, a fine team player and an all-round exceptional individual."
Flowers, scarves and other tributes are being left at Ulster's Ravenhill ground in memory of Nevin Spence.
A book of condolence is to open there at 10:00 BST on Monday.
It will be available to sign until the end of the week and Ravenhill will be open all week from 09:00 BST until 17:00 BST for anyone wishing to leave tributes.
Billy Glynn, president of the Irish Rugby Football Union, said: "This is a terrible tragedy that has struck the Spence family and the thoughts of everybody in Irish Rugby are with them at this time.
"Nevin was an outstanding young player which was evident from his progression through the representative ranks and the game has been robbed of a very talented young man.

Nevin Spence was one of the rising stars of Ulster rugby. The 22-year-old tough-tackling centre was seen as a future Irish international.
He was part of the Ulster rugby squad which reached the European Heineken Cup final last season. Although he did not play in the final, he featured in some of the group games. Back in 2010, he scored a spectacular try against Bath in the Heineken Cup.
He went to school at Wallace High School in Lisburn and was a talented footballer as well as a rugby player.
The sporting all-rounder burst onto the rugby scene with Ballynahinch in 2009 and quickly caught the eye of the Ulster selectors. Although he could play on the wing, he was at home in the centre.
Rugby players across the world, including the All Blacks star Dan Carter, have expressed their shock at his sudden death.
"The rugby community in Ireland is a very close knit one and there has been widespread shock and an outpouring of grief at this news."
Spence had established himself as a regular in the Ulster squad in recent seasons, playing 42 times.
The Ulster centre also came on as a replacement for Ireland in the game against the Barbarians at Kingsholm last May in addition to playing for the Irish Wolfhounds, the country's second-string team, on three occasions.
The former Wallace High School player made his first appearance for Ulster against Ospreys in April 2010.
After an injury-hit start to this season, he played for the Ulster Ravens, the club's reserve side, against Munster A at Deramore Park in Belfast on Friday.
Spence was named Young Player of the Year at the Irish Rugby Union Players' Association Awards last year.
Away from rugby, Spence helped out on the family farm and regularly and enthusiastically updated his many followers on Twitter and Facebook with pictures from the farm.
With his farming background, he recently signed as a brand ambassador for the Dairy Council of Northern Ireland.
The Northern Ireland Ambulance Service (NIAS) sent rapid response teams when it was called to the farm.
Counterparts from the fire service pulled four people from the slurry pit, three of whom were unconscious.
Paramedics tried to resuscitate the three men but two died at the scene. The third man initially responded to resuscitation and was taken to the nearby Lagan Valley Hospital in Lisburn, where he died a short time later.
Health Minister and farmer Edwin Poots, who has known the Spence family for over 30 years, said they were held in high regard in the entire community.
"While a lot of people may focus on Nevin because he played for the Ulster rugby team we do need to focus on Noel and Graham at this time," he said.
"Noel has left a wife and two daughters, Graham a wife and two children. Whilst a place in a rugby team can be filled a place in the home of all three men will never be filled."
Otis Tyrone McKane was arrested for shooting San Antonio Detective Benjamin Marconi, who was writing a traffic ticket when he was shot in the head.
The suspect told reporters he was upset about a child-custody battle and apologised to the officer's family.
The shooting was one of four against US police in a 24-hour period.
Detective Marconi's son, Dane, posted on Facebook: "Just got off the phone with the future president Trump, he sends his condolences to our family."
The post went viral after a screenshot of it was reposted by a woman whose Facebook page identifies her as a crime scene investigator for San Antonio Police.
Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks did not respond to a request for more details.
Mr Trump ran for office as a law-and-order candidate, frequently criticising his opponent Hillary Clinton for contributing to a "war on police".
He received the endorsement of the National Fraternal Order of Police, the largest police union in the US.
Det Marconi, 50, was shot at around noon on Sunday after pulling over a motorist.
The 20-year police veteran had returned to his patrol car to write a ticket when the assailant approached on the driver's side and shot him twice in the head.
The 31-year-old suspect, Mr McKane, was arrested at 16:30 local time on Monday while riding with a woman and two-year-old child in the car.
He told reporters at Bexar County Jail late on Monday night: "I lashed out at somebody who didn't deserve it."
"I've been through several custody battles, and I was upset at the situation I was in," he said as he was led away by officers.
"I'd still like to see my son," he added.
San Antonio Police Chief William McManus said after the arrest was made earlier in the day by Swat officers that "the uniform was the target" in the shooting of Det Marconi.
Four hours before the attack, Mr McKane visited a police station to ask a clerk a question, but left before receiving a response.
Chief McManus said after the arrest that this is "the person we believe is responsible for the cold and calculated murder of Detective Marconi".
San Antonio police drew a connection with July's shooting of officers in Dallas, Texas, pointing out that targeted attacks against police were on the rise.
Five officers were shot and killed during a Black Lives Matter protest in that incident, which was the deadliest day for US officers since the 9/11 attacks.
So far this year 60 US law enforcement officers have been fatally shot, compared to 41 in 2015, according to data compiled by the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund.
Twenty were purposefully targeted, compared with only eight last year.
Wadge sang from a platform 262ft (80m) up the original Severn crossing at dawn on Friday.
She was accompanied by a massed choir including Only Men Aloud situated on the English bank of the river.
As well as BBC Music Day, it is also the 50th anniversary of the bridge being built, which the song - called The Bridge - celebrates.
Wadge's songwriting partnership with Ed Sheeran saw her collect a prestigious Grammy Award in February for the track Thinking Out Loud.
She lives in Pontypridd but is from Bristol and said her heritage was crucial in writing a new song to celebrate the bridge.
"It's quite a big thing for me because I live in Wales and I'm from Bristol, and that whole connection of the two places seems to be quite a huge thing to be writing a song about," she said.
"Anything that celebrates music and the coming together of loads of different voices, then I am always going to want to be a part of it because it's my job and I love my job.
"So hopefully people will get in to the spirit of what we are trying to do."
Radio Wales editor Steve Austins said: "BBC Music Day is all about collaboration and working together and the bridge symbolises that spirit.
"As someone who has her heart in both Wales and England this is a project close to Amy's heart and Only Men Aloud, Renewal and Gospel Generation are looking forward to bringing her words to life."
BBC Music Day will also be marked with a special send-off for the Wales football team, as the BBC National Orchestra of Wales hosts a sing-a-long of football anthems and songs made famous by the fans.
Songs including Salt 'n' Pepa's 'Push It' and 90s dance hit 'Kernkraft 400' by Zombie Nation have been adapted for the orchestra, which will be joined by BBC football commentator Rob Phillips and will be broadcast on BBC Radio Wales on Friday 3 June, and on BBC Two Wales on 8 June.
This time last year Samantha Simmons and her three sons from east London spent a precarious Christmas in a rented flat which their landlord was trying to sell.
Since summer 2013 the family had been bounced around a series of short lets and ended up camping in her mother's tiny living floor for five months after turning down "filthy" bed-and-breakfast accommodation, unsuitable for a young family.
"It was horrible. It was such a distressing and unsure time," Samantha remembers.
The only homes on offer then were in the midlands, hundreds of miles from extended family, support networks, jobs and schools.
Samantha turned them down.
"All my family support, my connections are here, everything," she told the council, which then offered her bed-and breakfast accommodation.
"The beds looked like they had been pulled off the street. It was vile. I didn't even want to breathe the air in there so I ran out of there with the baby," she recalls.
All this amounted to a refusal of accommodation, said the council and threatened to dismiss her case.
Samantha was distraught at no longer being able to provide for her family.
"I'd gone to work and we had a nice house. When we didn't have anything, it was devastating, it was horrible."
It was only after housing charity Shelter intervened that the council found her a short term let locally.
But it proved very short term, as the landlord decided to sell the property and Samantha and her family once again had to ask the council for help.
They were offered a housing association property in Tilbury, Essex and told they could take it or leave it - there was nothing else.
"I was crying my eyes out on the way there. It was such a long way away - but as soon as I arrived I loved it. I wanted to live there."
So the family are preparing for their first Christmas in what really is a permanent home.
The tree is up with presents underneath - a far cry from Christmas 2013 when they spent the day surrounded by boxes, ready for imminent eviction - and from last year when they were comfortable but uneasy.
The family are slowly putting down roots in Tilbury - though it has not been as smooth as they had hoped.
Living apart from extended family and friends has left Samantha in particular feeling isolated.
She would like to take a part time job or do a college course once her youngest son, Nester, now two, goes to nursery.
Nester is entitled to 15 hours a week free nursery care under a government scheme - but there are no places available at any local nurseries, says Samantha.
"It would open up my connections and social life, rather than sitting indoors and feeling a bit like a zombie."
Eldest son Boris, now 13, is still attending his original secondary school in London's Canning Town.
He tried commuting but the journey was "long and tiring", he says.
So he stays with his grandma, who lives near the school, during the week, coming home at weekends, in the school holidays and occasionally during the week when the family can afford the train fare.
This separation has proved stressful: "The boys have lost their bond and Nester is asking where Boris is," says Samantha.
But despite this, she is reluctant to move him as he is doing very well and the school is rated "good" by Ofsted.
She is hoping Alex, now 11, will follow him in September.
"I will pass on some of the child benefit to my mum. I would feel a failure for not getting them the best education".
Alex, who started at a Tilbury primary school half way through Year 6, is not so sure: "I would rather be where my mates are going."
But, with the family all together for Christmas and despite the complications, Samantha is "really happy living in this house - the first house I have ever had".
In the summer she says they grew tomatoes, potatoes, strawberries and flowers in the back garden and took trips to the seaside at Shoeburyness and Southend with her mother when they could afford it.
"I am so grateful for it. If I could pick it up and put it right next to my mum's I'd be totally happy," says Samantha.
Sussex Police said the arrests were made in London Road in connection with an anti-immigration demonstration in nearby Ship Street at 09:27 BST.
About 400 rival pro-refugee demonstrators met at Brighton station and marched to the seafront.
Anti-fascists also confronted a group attending a Great Skinhead Reunion.
BBC South East correspondent tweeted the march had ended back at the station, where all was calm.
Police said officers had enforced Section 60AA of the Public Order Act, which gives them the right to remove people's face masks if they are felt likely to be involved in criminal activity or violence and to be concealing their identity.
"We're confident that having made a number of arrests at such an early stage, we have significantly reduced the risk of disruption and disorder in the town centre," said Ch Supt Nev Kemp.
"Unfortunately, whilst the vast majority of demonstrators act peacefully, a small minority appear to have come with the intention to cause problems."
The 12 men were arrested on suspicion of breach of peace and remain in police custody.
Police said on Thursday they were aware of demonstrations being advertised on social media but no group had notified them of the event.
The 26-year-old, from Leeds, who won gold medals in both cycling and athletics in Rio last year, received the award at Buckingham Palace.
Cox had her UK Sport funding suspended in January while she took part in Channel 4 programme The Jump.
After receiving her award, she said: "Bonkers probably sums up my year. It has been crazy."
Posting on Twitter, the athlete said: "Always nice to have a chin wag with Prince William."
Ms Cox, who was presented with her MBE by the Duke of Cambridge, said: "Winning a gold medal [at the Paralympics] has been my aim for God knows how long, and then I win two plus a couple of others. This led to honours and I got to do loads of fun things like being on The Jump."
"It has been an amazing few months and now I am back at uni and training. I am now back to reality," she added.
Ms Cox, who had a stroke aged 23, and was later diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, became the first Briton since 1988 to win a medal in two sports at the same Paralympics.
She also took athletics silver in the 4x100m relay and bronze in the 100m, and she was picked to be Britain's flagbearer at the Rio closing ceremony.
Ms Cox said she is now aiming to compete in the 2020 Paralympics in Tokyo.
She is also aiming to compete in the two-man bobsleigh at the Winter Paralympics in Beijing in 2022.
LifeScan Scotland makes products for the treatment of diabetes and currently employs 1,100 people in Inverness.
Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE) is supporting the company with an investment of £1.85m, which will support more than 600 jobs.
The products include meters and software so people can self-monitor their blood glucose levels.
Confirming the HIE contribution to the plans, Finance Secretary Derek Mackay said: "LifeScan is a global leader in diabetes research and a great example of an innovative company that is benefiting from what Scotland has to offer as an attractive location for global life sciences companies.
"The continued investment in Scotland by LifeScan and the contribution from HIE is testament to our thriving life sciences industry and its position as a key growth sector for the Scottish economy and proof of the skill and value of the Scottish workforce."
There are more than 70 life sciences organisations operating in the Highlands and Islands, with the sector worth an estimated £131.1m.
LifeScan Scotland is part of the Johnson & Johnson family of companies.
More than 140 million tickets to live music events are sold each year, according to music listings site Pollstar, in an industry worth more than $10bn (£6.5bn).
And the vast majority of these will be physical print-outs, even if they are bought online.
But two UK start-ups are hoping to bring gigs screaming and kicking into the paperless age.
One of them, Dice, has developed a free app that allows users to browse upcoming gigs from a curated list. When you buy a ticket it is stored in a virtual wallet on your phone.
For smaller gigs, your name on an animated strip is enough to gain entrance. For larger gigs, you'll get a unique QR (Quick Response) code that can be scanned quickly by a reader.
Dice sends its own representatives with a bespoke app for reading the QR codes - and emergency phone chargers.
"If I was going to see the Rolling Stones at Hyde Park then maybe I'd want to keep the ticket, but not tonight," confides one dedicated live music fan before a Ghost Culture gig.
He got into the Corsica Studios venue in south London by simply flashing an app on his phone to the man on the door.
"Young people don't have printers, they don't have email addresses, to print a ticket is a huge hassle for them," shouts Jen Long, music editor at Dice, as the support act warms up behind her.
"Everyone just does everything on their phone."
Una, another music ticket start-up, is taking a different approach.
It provides users with a plastic membership card with embedded chips, to be scanned at venues. The card works in conjunction with a user's online account and can also be used for cashless payments.
"If you are selling tickets for a major event like Glastonbury or Wembley you can't expect everyone to have Android or iOS," says Amar Chauhan of Una Tickets, which will launch in November.
Una members pay a small membership charge, then a standard booking fee per ticket in return for the convenience of paperless, hassle-free gig-going.
Members can transfer tickets to other members, but only at their face value.
Dice is trying to win market share by selling tickets at face value with no booking fee on top. It hopes to make money from merchandising and "added value" services.
Dice and Una believe their digital ticketing systems can defeat the endemic - and perfectly legal - practice of ticket touting.
Traditionally this involves men with booming voices outside gigs offering to buy or sell tickets at more than their face value. Often, these tickets are fake.
There's also a thriving secondary market online, with sites like Stubhub (owned by eBay); Viagogo; Seatwave and GetMeIn (both owned by Ticketmaster), dominating the scene.
There are even software bots that "scrape" ticketing sites, snapping up tickets as soon as they are released.
This means many places at concerts are left unfilled - with true fans priced out.
The government is currently reviewing the secondary ticketing market, following this year's Consumer Rights Act.
These start-ups may have developed innovative technology, but can they get it past the door?
There is a huge obstacle in their way, and it's called Ticketmaster, the largest ticket seller in the world. It is owned by Live Nation, one of the world's biggest music concert and festival operators.
Many large venues have contracts with Ticketmaster, meaning they must sell an agreed allocation of tickets through the operator.
And these venues operate a barcode system owned by Ticketmaster.
Songkick - a successful digital start-up that began as an alert system for fans about upcoming gigs, but now sells tickets, too - works within the constraints of the Ticketmaster system.
Checking into a gig is not like checking into a flight, explains Songkick's co-founder, Ian Hogarth.
"I've worked on the door and it's a question of scale. You don't want people fiddling on their phones. When you've got thousands of people trying to get into a venue in the space of an hour, a paper ticket is crude but efficient.
"Any mobile technology needs to do at least as well."
There is an industry-standard technology for flight check-ins, he adds - something the live music industry lacks.
The BBC wanted to talk to Ticketmaster UK about its vision for smartphone ticketing, but the firm declined to contribute.
With such a powerful incumbent dominating the market, do Una and Dice really stand a chance?
Nearly 27 million tickets are sold annually for live music events in the UK, generating £1.3bn, according to the latest figures from UK Music and Oxford Economics.
So perhaps a tiny slice of a big pie is still worth having.
But some observers remain sceptical that mobile ticketing is about to sweep the industry. After all, just 28% of gig-goers used smartphones to purchase tickets last year, according to a poll by Mintel.
This might suggest relatively few of us are ready to switch to mobile-only tickets just yet.
"Nobody is brave enough to make mobile the only way to get into a gig so far," says Chris Cooke, business editor of industry newsletter, Complete Music Update.
"Companies like Dice and Una are primarily pitching to the grassroots and early adopters at the moment."
The paper ticket, it seems, still has a powerful hold over us.
"There is nothing that can evoke such a sense of nostalgia as the feel, the touch and even the smell of an aged ticket with its creases, tears, stains and fading," says music memorabilia connoisseur, Peter Ellis, who has been collecting paper tickets for most of his adult life.
"It is a fond and permanent memento of a special, intimate and shared memory."
Providers of digital gig tickets have their work cut out.
The Armada portrait, thought to have been painted in 1590, was being sold by descendants of Sir Francis Drake.
An Art Fund appeal generated £1.5m from 8,000 donations. The Heritage Lottery Fund gave £7.4m; the Art Fund and Royal Museums Greenwich were major donors.
The picture will go on show at the Queen's House in Greenwich, near the site of Elizabeth's birth, in October.
The painting, considered to be a masterpiece of the English Renaissance, commemorates one of the most famous moments of Elizabeth's reign, the failed invasion of England by the Spanish Armada in 1588.
Sir Francis was the vice admiral of the English fleet at the time and it is believed he may even have commissioned the painting, which is unusual for its large size - 3ft 7ins by 4ft 1in (1.1m by 1.25m) - and horizontal format.
The Art Fund donated £1m to the cost of the painting, while Royal Museums Greenwich supplied £400,000.
The remaining funds came from the Linbury Trust, the Garfield Weston Foundation and the Headley Trust.
Stephen Deuchar, director of The Art Fund, said the campaign to save the painting had been "a triumph of popular will".
"Record numbers of donors, large and small, stepped forward with determination and generosity, creating an irresistible momentum that has brought this great work into public ownership at last," he said.
HLF chairman Sir Peter Luff said the painting was "a compelling historic icon, illustrating as it does a decisive conflict, inspiring female leadership, maritime power and the emergence of the Elizabethan 'Golden Age'".
"This image has shaped our understanding of the Virgin Queen for over 400 years and I am delighted that it will now have such an appropriate permanent home in Greenwich," he added.
The painting will be the centrepiece for the reopening of the Queen's House on 11 October.
It will then undergo a conservation process to "restore its fragile painted surfaces" before becoming part of an exhibition and outreach programme, an Art Fund spokeswoman said.
Among those who donated to the appeal were a seven-year-old Wakefield girl, who sold Elizabeth I cupcakes whilst dressed in a costume inspired by the painting, and pupils at St Paul's Girl School in London, who held a bake sale to raise funds.
St Paul's history teacher Blanche Girouard said the girls "study the portrait when we teach Elizabeth I and the Armada, so [they were] very keen to help save it for the nation".

The National Trust, owners of Attingham Park, outside Shrewsbury, said the roof of the picture gallery had leaked ever since it was built in 1807.
The "highly experimental" design came from architect John Nash, who was responsible for Buckingham Palace.
A new glass and steel roof has been built over Nash's original.
Saturday marks the first time the public will be able to see the completed work.
More on this and other Shropshire stories
The Through the Roof project has seen Attingham reach new heights with the installation of the "cutting-edge glass roof", the National Trust said.
Nash's original curved, cast iron and glass roof has been conserved, while plasterwork and gilding has been repaired inside the picture gallery.
A smaller, secondary roof has been constructed over the staircase.
Nash's use of cast iron in the roof was one of the first of its kind in a non-industrial building, the National Trust said.
Helen Royall, who managed the project, said the team were "thrilled" to be able to show off their work.
"There have been some unique moments, from the crane lifting the steel beams and glass panels, to visitors being able to climb up high and go on scaffolding tours," she said.
The new pill is a combination of three drugs used to treat tuberculosis, mixed in the right dosage, and is fruit-flavoured to appeal to children.
Until now, the global TB Alliance says pills designed for adults have been split to get the dosage for children.
Every year, about a million children fall ill with TB, which is the world's deadliest infectious disease.
In 2014, an estimated 140,000 children died of TB, according to global figures from the World Health Organization (WHO).
Kenya is the first country to roll out the new drug nationally, with more countries expected to follow over the next three years.
Experts say the new treatment will be more effective because the components have been measured accurately and the pill is not bitter-tasting.
What is it like to live in a TB hotspot? Anne Soy, BBC Africa health correspondent:
At Majengo slum in Kenya's capital, Nairobi, a dark corridor leads to Helen Chebet's one-roomed home, where she lives with her family of six.
The mud-walled building, reinforced with rusty iron sheets, has very few windows and the only source of natural light in the space she rents comes from a tiny transparent panel installed in the roof.
Living conditions like these, crowded and with poor ventilation, are cited as contributing factors to the transmission of tuberculosis.
This year, both Ms Chebet and her two youngest children were diagnosed with tuberculosis, after several failed attempts to treat for other possible infections. Her 15-month-old daughter Chepkoech was put on a six-month course of antibiotics, which required her to take six tablets a day.
Ms Chebet tried to hide the drug in the toddler's food, but her strategy did not work.
"One particular drug was difficult to split and dissolve in water... I had to grind it," Ms Chebet says adding that Chepkoech could only stand the bitter-tasting drugs for the first two months.
The new drug dissolves easily in water, making it easier to take every day for the six-month treatment period.
"Caregivers can easily give up knowing how difficult it is to give children such medicine," Kenya's head of TB programmes Dr Enos Masini told the BBC.
It is not only Kenya, which begins rolling out the drug for free from 1 October, where TB sufferers are expected to benefit.
More than 20 countries have expressed interest in introducing the pill, says Dr Cherise Scott from the TB Alliance, the global non-governmental organisation that spearheaded the production of the new drug.
"The new child-friendly pill will boost survival," Dr Scott adds.
Africa has the highest prevalence of TB of any continent.
The global TB death rate has dropped by almost a half between 1990 and 2015, the WHO says.

The 25-year-old came home ahead of Finland's Lotta Lepisto and Olympic champion Marianne Vos.
There were several crashes on the 13-lap 89km course with Hosking's Wiggle High5 team-mate Dani King one of those involved.
British world champion Lizzie Armitstead withdrew before the start to concentrate on the Olympics.
Armitstead, who won silver in the London 2012 road race, has seven victories this year, including the prestigious Tour of Flanders.
However, the 27-year-old missed her defence of the British title and had to withdraw from the Giro Rosa through illness.
"Going into Rio, I want gold. I would be disappointed with anything else." the Yorkshire rider said on Wednesday. "Those are my ambitions, and they're very different to London."
Find out how to get into cycling with our special guide.
Armitstead's absence left the Wiggle High5 trio of King, Lucy Garner and Amy Roberts, along with national champion Hannah Barnes, as the remaining four British riders in Sunday's race - the curtain-raiser to the final stage of the Tour de France.
King and Barnes were involved in separate breakaways, but the peloton reeled both back in to set up the expected sprint finish with Hosking's power proving decisive.
"To cross the line first is crazy," she told ITV.
"I was like, 'are they coming, are they coming?', and they didn't."
Adebayor, 31, was available after being released by Tottenham in September and has scored 94 Premier League goals for Spurs, Arsenal and Manchester City.
Two weeks ago, Palace boss Alan Pardew confirmed his interest in signing the Togo international.
Adebayor's last appearance came on 3 May 2015, playing six minutes in Spurs's 1-0 home defeat by Man City.
Palace are the third-joint lowest scorers in the league with 24 goals in 23 games this season, and lie 11th in the table.
Strikers Fraizer Campbell, Dwight Gayle, Connor Wickham and Marouane Chamakh have managed just one league goal between them so far.
The Eagles have failed to win their past six games, losing their last four.
Pardew made a failed attempt to sign Adebayor in 2006 when he was in charge at West Ham.
The player joined Arsenal instead from French club Monaco and went on to play for Manchester City, followed by a loan spell at Real Madrid, before joining Spurs in 2012.

The left-hander, who has played six Tests for England, is yet to learn the full extent of the cancerous tumour which tests revealed this week.
White told BBC Radio Solent: "He has got to wait for more tests to discover the severity of the condition.
"When he knows that, he might have a battle on his hands. I back him to pull through."
Carberry told team-mates of his condition before Hampshire's T20 Blast match against Glamorgan on Thursday.
"He sat with the team before tonight's game [against Glamorgan] and wanted to tell them in person," White said.
"It was quite an emotional changing room and I think everyone was in shock and our thoughts are with Michael and his family."
The 35-year-old missed eight months of cricket when diagnosed with blood clot on his lung in November 2010.
"Michael's a guy with immense character who has been in these situations before," White said. "He is quite a pragmatic chap."
There have been numerous messages of support from around the cricket world for Carberry, who has also played at county level for Surrey and Kent as well as for Perth Scorchers in Australia's Big Bash T20 competition.
The 81-year-old told police the haul was taken from his house at Blofield near Norwich between Wednesday evening and Friday morning.
The thefts included his 1964 FA Cup medal, 1965 European Cup Winners Cup medal from his West Ham days, and his 1985 League Cup medal when he managed Norwich.
"My wife and I feel violated," he said.
Norfolk Police said a set of Winston Churchill gold medals, cash and jewellery were also stolen.
"I had such a great time with both Norwich City and West Ham United and feel a huge amount of pride when I look back at my medals and to think that someone has entered my home and taken them hurts me a lot," said Mr Brown.
"I have grandchildren who play football and I love being able to show them the medals when they visit.
"They won't like to see their granddad upset but unfortunately that's how I feel at the moment."
He continued: "My wife and I feel violated that someone could take items of such personal significance and I can only hope those responsible for doing this can see how pointless it is to take something that has no value to them and such great value to us."
A Norwich City Football Club spokesman said: "Norwich City Football Club is shocked and saddened by the theft.
"Hopefully the publicity surrounding the case will tweak someone's conscience and lead to the recovery of the items."
Up to 50,000 people can fit into the 108-year-old stadium and it is often packed to the rafters with Boca Juniors fans dressed in their trademark blue and yellow colours, cheering the team they say is "the greatest club in America".
But during a recent match against Newell's of Rosario, the Bombonera also bore a reminder of the dark side of Argentine football.
A banner hanging from the stands carried a short but blunt message: "Murderer".
The sign was aimed at Rafael Di Zeo, a former leader of a group of hardcore Boca Juniors fans calling themselves La 12.
Some supporters blame him for the deaths of two men during a shootout in July, when hooligans fighting for control of La 12 opened fire on each other before a Boca away game.
Some 150 bullets were fired and the match had to be suspended. Many fans suspected Rafael Di Zeo was behind the incident and police are investigating the allegations.
Rafael Di Zeo has denied any involvement.
Two months on, the case still has not been solved and continues to create tension both inside and outside the Bombonera.
The head of Argentina's Federal Police, Roman di Santo, says he has received death threats for investigating some of the leaders of La 12 in connection with the shooting.
According to the Argentine NGO Save Football, July's shootout is just the latest in a series of football-related killings.
The group says more than 70 people have been killed since 2000, three of them during this winter season alone.
And the most recent clashes seem to indicate that football violence is no longer just about rival fan groups having a go at each other, but increasingly over control of the shady businesses these gangs run.
Police say the Barras Bravas, as the football gangs are called here, run illegal touting schemes, selling tickets with a face value of $5 (£3) for up to $100.
They are also suspected of handling counterfeit club merchandise and of extortion, demanding payment in exchange for cheering for their own team.
Their influence also extends to the political scene, where they provide support for local politicians and trade union leaders, rallying their supporters to vote for particular candidates.
Speaking a day after the shootout in July, Argentine President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner said club managers were not doing enough to stop the violence.
"Let's show a red card to certain sports authorities which still protect criminals and let this kind of thing happen," she said while waving a red card in front of a cheering crowd.
Boca Juniors President Daniel Angelici says he is doing the best he can. His club has already banned 146 supporters from the stands, the highest number to be blacklisted by any club in Argentina.
But he says that there is little he can do about fans who can prove they have a clean criminal record. Some well-known troublemakers still make it in.
"We will refuse them admission as soon as they violate any of our regulations," Mr Angelici tells the BBC.
He also advocates suspending matches when trouble starts. "No match is worth the life of a football fan," he says,
A new system to prevent those with a criminal record from getting into the stands is also now being tested.
Before buying their tickets, supporters planning to attend any of the matches now must get an identity card with their biometric data and criminal record.
"Even the Pope will need to be registered in the system if he plans to see San Lorenzo playing," says San Lorenzo President German Lerche referring to the team's most famous supporter.
And the new ID card is not the only measure Argentina's National Football Association (AFA) has imposed as part of its efforts to tackle football violence.
AFA has also banned away fans from attending matches across the country. The measure applies to all divisions of Argentine football.
It is a radical move which according to Security Minister Sergio Berni has proved a success, making for a "quieter tournament".
But AFA argues it punishes the majority of peaceful fans for the behaviour of a small minority, and says it will gradually lift the ban.
The ID card and the ban on away fans has received a mixed reaction from football supporters.
Carlos Gonzalez says it is a question of implementation rather than introducing extra checks.
"There are so many measures already, a club member card, police at the gates, security turnstiles, they should be able to stop the radicals already if they want to," he says as he is getting fingerprinted for the new ID card.
Liliana Suarez, whose 19-year old son Daniel was stabbed to death by Argentina fans during an international against Chile in 1995, also thinks a lack of political will is the problem.
"Without real political commitment this is not going to change," she says.
She is speaking from bitter experience. Eighteen years after Daniel's death, no-one has been convicted of the crime.
"At the end of the day, the Barras Bravas are only the weakest link in a powerful chain that includes the club authorities, who grant them protection, and complicit police and politicians," she says.
But Boca Juniors fan Esther Fernandez thinks the problem runs even deeper.
"For decades society allowed these people to become who they are now, in a position where being a Barra is something to be proud of, like being a football star," she says.
"Now we are paying the price."
Mikel signed for Tianjin TEDA and Oscar joined Shanghai SIPG in two huge January transfer deals as they both left Chelsea.
Chinese clubs have been investing heavily in foreign talent since former Ivory Coast captain Didier Drogba became one of the first high-profile players to head east five years ago.
And with the transfer window open right through to the semi-finals of the Nations Cup, some of the players competing at the tournament may feel they have a chance to put themselves in the frame for a big-money move.
You will see many more make the move (to China)
"The important thing is to find a club where the football project is big, interesting and you really feel wanted," Burkina Faso striker Traore, who is on loan at Ajax from Chelsea, told BBC Sport.
"Jon and Oscar have found this and I am happy for them. It is interesting Drogba may now go to Brazil, too."
Traore announced himself as a precocious talent when he made his Stallions debut aged fifteen in 2012 and is now playing at his fourth Nations Cup, even though he is only 21.
The forward, known for his electric pace and clinical finishing, said he was "living a dream" when he signed for then Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho upon turning 18.
However, after scoring four goals in 16 appearances last term, he admitted to being demoralised when new Blues boss Antonio Conte sent him out on loan and he has a different perspective on his career now.
"I am always pleased when I am playing for Chelsea [but] you cannot always pick and choose which club to play for. Playing in different countries is always a good thing if you feel wanted because then you will feel happy," Traore said after his country's 1-1 draw with Cameroon on Saturday.
If Traore were to join Oscar in leaving Stamford Bridge without tasting Champions League success, or at least more years competing in the Premier League, some may consider it an unfulfilled career.
However, agent Guy-Michel Boli, brother of Ivory Coast-born Champions League winner Basil Boli, says prestigious prizes are just one consideration.
"African players often have extended families and there are pressures to support as many of them financially as possible," Boli said while taking in a Gabon training session at the national stadium.
Boli feels new rules curbing the amount of foreign players Chinese clubs can field ahead of the new season in March will not stem the flow.
"You will see many more make the move and there is interest from Japan as well as China," he said.
Every player has a different outlook, however, and Cameroon's Clinton N'Jie is one of many who remain committed to the allure of winning Europe's prestigious prizes.
"Oscar is very young to go to China and I hope he comes back to Europe in the future to show his talents," said the Tottenham striker, who is on loan at Marseilles.
"I am 23 and the players I know in my age category are focussed to play in Europe, for the pleasure of playing at the top level and competing for the top prizes.
"For players like Didier [Drogba] of course it is different; he is a player who has won everything you can win and once you do that you are free to play wherever you choose."
The items, found near Cove at about 12:20 on Monday, appear to belong to Benjamin Ludwig, a 34-year-old whose connections to the area are unknown.
The member of the public who found them also saw a man in a red waterproof jacket in the same area on Sunday.
Police said they were keen to establish if that was Mr Ludwig.
A search of the coastline was carried out by the coastguard and RNLI on Monday, but nothing was found.
Insp Mark Stephen said: "Personal belongings apparently relating to Benjamin Ludvig, a 34 year old German were recovered near the cliff top on the coastal path near Cove.
"We are keen to establish if he was the male wearing the red waterproof jacket and that he is safe and well. At this time we don't know what Mr Ludvig's connections are to the area.
"I would ask that anyone who has any knowledge of the current whereabouts of Mr Ludvig, where he has been staying or any other information about him, to get in touch with us on 101.
Similarly if you were the male wearing the red waterproof jacket in the area on Sunday 5 March and are unconnected to Mr Ludvig we would like to hear from you too".
The images were taken by the RAF in the 1950s and show locations in countries that were part of former Soviet Union or its allies, and also western Europe.
A powerful US-made camera was fitted to a Canberra B2 jet.
Declassified in 2004, the images have now only been released by the Ministry of Defence to the National Collection of Aerial Photography (NCAP).
Many of the photographs show locations in former East Germany, but also test shots of western Europe such as Luneburg in former West Germany, while others show Syria.
The spying sorties were first flown as part of the UK-US Project Robin.
The camera used was said to be so powerful that during a test flight over the English Channel off the coast of Dover, clear photographs were taken of St Paul's Cathedral 75 miles (120km) away in central London.
Project Robin's first sortie was flown in 1954 and the last in 1956 when the US switched to the higher flying U-2 aircraft.
The Canberra B2 jet continued to be used, however, by the RAF and was deployed during the Suez Crisis in the late 1950s.
Sarfraz Ahmed's battling unbeaten 46 from 52 balls helped Pakistan recover from 199-8 to post 236-9 in Dhaka.
"Their narrow loss in the final would have broken the hearts of thousands of Bangladeshi fans. But the Tigers, as they are known locally, showed their potential at last, knocking out India and Sri Lanka on their way to the final. The message from Bangladeshi fans in the last few weeks came across loud and clear - we are not minnows of international cricket anymore. We have arrived and others should treat us with respect."
Tamin Iqbal led Bangladesh's reply with 60, while Shakib Al Hasan made 68.
But Abdur Razzak fell to the penultimate ball of the game and Shahadat Hossain failed to score the boundary needed off the final delivery.
Hossain could only manage a leg bye and his contribution with the bat followed a painful final over with the ball as wicketkeeper Sarfraz Ahmed plundered 19 runs to force the Pakistan total upwards.
While Iqbal and Al Hasan collected their runs at a decent rate in Bangladesh's reply, their momentum was checked by some laboured batting at the other end.
Opener Nazimuddin took 52 balls to make 16 before Nasir Hossain hit a sluggish 28 from 63 deliveries.
Bangladesh required nine runs off the final over and then four off the last two balls, but Aizaz Cheema crucially bowled Razzak to leave Hossain with too much to do.
The hosts led when Paul Mullin tucked away a penalty after Nicky Hunt had pulled down Kevin Ellison.
Tom Barkhuizen wasted a good chance to double the home side's advantage when he dragged wide, and Chris Clements capitalised by levelling from close in.
Substitute Yussuf then won it for Mansfield, prodding in from six yards after Lee Collins' shot was saved.
The Stags now move to ninth and within a point of the play-off places, albeit having played four more games than seventh-placed Accrington, while Morecambe stay 14th.
The portraits of David Cameron, Ed Miliband, Nick Clegg, Nigel Farage and Natalie Bennett have been drawn by Birmingham artist Annemarie Wright.
Miss Wright said she had used tweets that ranged from compliments to condemnation to create the works.
The portraits will feature in an exhibition at the Woolff Gallery in central London from 30 April to 15 May.
Miss Wright said: "Everybody has their own opinion on this general election and we live in a world made smaller by social media.
"Many of the party leaders themselves used social media so it was an ideal place to find people's thoughts."
She said the exhibition, called What do you think of?, was her attempt to take a snapshot of people's thoughts on what she said was an "exciting" election.
She collected the opinions by setting up a Twitter account for each subject and following relevant hashtags between November 2014 and February 2015.
She then drew portraits of the leaders before writing the opinions over the top of them.
She said the opinions, "range from vaguely complimentary to absolute condemnation".
Each work took her between 30 and 40 hours to produce.
The five party leaders will be joined by life-sized portraits of the Queen, Baroness Thatcher, Winston Churchill and Nelson Mandela, all composed from some of their most famous speeches.
Miss Wright, who studied at the University of Wolverhampton, has previously created a similar portrait of Sir Alex Ferguson made from the names of every player who played for him.
The singer Adele has also commissioned a portrait of herself, written in her own lyrics.
VW sold 5.04 million cars between January and June - slightly more than the 5.02 million sold by Toyota.
The Japanese company said on Tuesday its sales fell 1.5% compared with 2014, as growth in emerging markets slowed.
VW has long aimed to beat Toyota and has done so three years ahead of its 2018 target.
Toyota will announce first-half results on Tuesday next week, while VW releases its figures for the period on Wednesday.
Stefan Bratzel, head of Germany's Center of Automotive Management, said: "VW is snatching the sales crown in difficult times with major car markets in decline. They will need to withstand the slowdown in China if they want to keep the top spot."
VW's success has been propelled by soaring sales in China, a market that now accounts for a third of its total, as well as a recovery in Europe.
The company, which also owns Audi and Porsche, this year aims to "moderately" exceed the 10.1 million cars it sold in 2014.
Toyota sold 10.23 million vehicles in 2014, but expects the total to slip to 10.15 million this year.
General Motors held the global sales crown for more than seven decades until being surpassed by Toyota in 2008.
GM regained the top spot in 2011, when Toyota's production was hurt by the earthquake and tsunami in north-eastern Japan.
Toyota became number one again the following year and has held the title since.
In another development, Ford has announced that it sold 3.26 million vehicles globally in the first half of the year.
The US company reported a 10% rise in pre-tax profit to $2.9bn for the three months to 30 June, with revenue coming in about $2bn higher than expected at $37.3bn.
Wholesale sales in North America rose by 56,000 to 816,000 vehicles, where Ford generated the bulk - $2.6bn - of its profits. In Europe, losses were halved to $14m as sales rose by 13,000 to 389,000.
Mark Fields, Ford's chief executive, said: "We delivered an outstanding second quarter, a great first half of 2015, and we are confident the second half of the year will be even stronger."
Adrian Greenwood, 42, was discovered in the hallway of his four-storey house on Thursday. He had been repeatedly stabbed in the chest and neck.
Michael Danaher, of Hadrians Court, Peterborough, appeared at Banbury Magistrates' Court earlier.
The 50-year-old was remanded in custody and will appear at Oxford Crown Court on Friday.
A 26-year-old man arrested on suspicion of murder on Thursday was released without charge.
Mr Greenwood was an Oxford graduate who had written two historical biographies and traded rare and antiquarian books as well as art.
In 2011, he spoke to the BBC ahead of an auction of Banksy artworks in Oxford, where he sold a locked 1970s safe stencilled by the artist.
Mr Greenwood was also in the news in 2010 when his limited first edition of a Harry Potter book was stolen from an art gallery in Woodstock. | Over 500 pupils at a Perth and Kinross school have been trained in life-saving CPR techniques from emergency care professionals in a single day.

The concept is overused and masks problems with corruption and low standards of living, Mr Tobgay told AFP news agency.
GNH aims to measure quality of life in more complete terms than gross national product (GNP), striking a balance between the spiritual and material.
The term was coined in 1972 by Bhutan's former King Jigme Singye Wangchuck.
It has been at the heart of government policy since then, although recently some critics have taken to referring to GNH as "Government Needs Help".
Mr Tobgay was elected in July after his PDP party won 32 of the country's 47 parliamentary seats.
He has projected himself as a reformer, rejecting the trappings of power including an official limousine and luxurious prime ministerial accommodation.
Mr Tobgay, 47, said that while he supported the notion that "economic growth is not the be-all and end-all of development", GNH should not distract from tackling Bhutan's pressing problems, including chronic unemployment, poverty and corruption.
"If the government of the day were to spend a disproportionate amount of time talking about GNH rather than delivering basic services, then it is a distraction," he said.
"There are four issues that can compound to make matters extremely bleak: our ballooning debt that if we're not careful will not be sustainable; the big rupee shortage; unemployment, in particular youth unemployment; and a perception of growing corruption.
"These four combined can make a lethal combination." | New Bhutanese PM Tshering Tobgay has cast doubt on the country's pursuit of Gross National Happiness (GNH). | 23,545,641 | 336 | 34 | false |
Ferensway will be shut in both directions from Sunday to Tuesday, with people encouraged by the city council to use public transport.

Stelios Demetriou, Stevie Mallan, John Sutton and Gary MacKenzie all scored to make it four wins from their last five league games for the Buddies.
Andy Murdoch had levelled for the hosts but it was a rare moment of joy for Morton, without a win in five games.
St Mirren are now one point ahead of Raith Rovers, who they have still to play in the run-in.
Morton looked nervy early on and manager Jim Duffy berated his players for being too hesitant in defence, something which led to Demetriou's opener.
Similar to his double against Hibernian, the Cypriot cut in from the left and fired low into the corner with his right foot in front of the travelling, uncovered fans to give them reason to cheer in the wind and rain.
A fine Ton move got the hosts back in it before the break, with Michael Doyle crossing for Murdoch to side foot home.
But the Paisley men reasserted themselves immediately after half-time in brilliant fashion - Mallan finding the bottom right hand corner from the edge of the box in typically impressive fashion.
Two became three when Rory Loy's low centre was converted by Sutton in what was his 100th start for the Buddies.
And defender MacKenzie put the icing on the cake with a downward header from Mallan's excellent delivery.
With four games remaining, Morton drop to fourth in the table but have an eight-point cushion on Queen of the South to protect their play-off prospects.
In-form St Mirren have to play the top three sides as well as Rovers in their battle for safety.

Orient are now 10 points adrift of safety with only five games remaining after goals from Luke Berry, Liam O'Neil and George Maris lifted Cambridge to within two points of the play-off spots.
Fielding a side with only three players over the age of 20, the O's held out for 31 minutes before going behind, when Berry nodded his 20th goal of the campaign from midfield following Harrison Dunk's cross.
Cambridge had earlier gone close through Jake Carroll, who was denied by a good Sam Sargeant save, and could have added to their lead when Uche Ikpeazu fired over after a good turn.
The visitors nearly equalised eight minutes before half-time when Will Norris made a fine save to claw Rowan Liburd's header wide, before the U's doubled their advantage four minutes later.
Maris produced a pinpoint free-kick which was flicked across Sargeant by O'Neil, who netted his first Cambridge goal.
Dunk nearly added a third early in the second half with a header which hit the post but the goal did arrive on 53 minutes when Maris fired home at the end of a goalmouth scramble.

The 113 negatives, which were thought to have been lost, have been bought for £275,000 by the Scott Polar Research Institute (SPRI) in Cambridge.
Campaigners had feared they would be bought by an overseas collector.
Almost £234,000 was given to the appeal by the National Heritage Memorial Fund.
The remaining funds were raised during a month-long public appeal backed by explorer Sir Ranulph Fiennes, and support from the Victoria & Albert Purchase Grant Fund.
Sir Ranulph described the negatives, which had previously belonged to a private collector, as "a very important part of British polar history", and Scott as "without a doubt the greatest polar explorer of all time".
He said there was "every chance they would have been sold abroad and into a private collection" if the appeal had not been successful.
Scott took the photographs between September and December 1911.
SPRI director, Julian Dowdeswell, said: "The best of the negatives are serious artistic achievements in their own right.
"The collection as a whole is a remarkable record of artistic development, quite apart from being of value to the national heritage."
Heather Lane, keeper of collections, said: "The negatives... take us right back to the point of origin, a fact made all the more exciting given that the institute also holds the camera on which they were taken.
"Furthermore, nine images from this set of negatives have hitherto been unknown and will be of major value for research."
The negatives will be housed in the institute's Polar Museum, which is already home to the remaining prints of Scott's photographs, glass plate negatives taken by Herbert Ponting - who was the main photographer on the expedition - and Ponting's presentation album from the same expedition, together with prints and albums from other expedition members.
Britain's Lewis Hamilton is on the verge of his second world title, six years after his first, with a 17-point lead over Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg.

But with controversial double points on offer for the final race - 50 for the winner - at Yas Marina, along with the threat of mechanical issues creeping in following a long season, the 2014 title could still go either way.
From the moment pre-season testing began in January, it was clear Mercedes and their two drivers Hamilton and Rosberg would be difficult to beat.
And so it proved, with the pair sharing 17 of the 18 pole positions between them and securing 15 wins as they fought out a private battle for the title.
Hamilton began the season on the back foot, with a retirement in the season opener in Australia and spent the next few months clawing back the deficit.
But it was not until the Belgian Grand Prix in August that the momentum looked to really step up. When fighting for the lead, Rosberg turned in on Hamilton, puncturing the Briton's tyre. The battle lines were drawn.
Hamilton responded with victory in each of the next five races to turn a 29-point deficit into a 24-point lead with two races to go. In two of those races, Hamilton caught and passed Rosberg on track, with the German unable to respond.
But in Brazil, just as Hamilton looked set to take the lead from Rosberg, he pushed too hard and spun. And though he re-caught Rosberg, his team-mate did just enough to hold him off.
Rosberg's victory cut Hamilton's lead to 17 points with 50 remaining in Abu Dhabi. But even if Rosberg wins in the desert, Hamilton needs only to finish second to seal the title.
Formula 1 heads to the desert for the season finale with Abu Dhabi's spectacular multi-million pound venue playing host.
Built on a man-made island, Yas Marina's 5.554km track features three distinct elements - fast and flowing turns followed by two long straights and finishing with a tight and twisty section.
It is a twilight race too, so the grand prix starts in daylight and finishes in darkness under the floodlights.
The stunning 499-room Yas Hotel, which uses 5,389 pivoting LED panes to produce a spectacular light show, straddles the circuit. While over the way you will find Ferrari World, home to the Formula Rossa roller-coaster that has a top speed of 240km/h.
The venue's capacity is not massive at just 41,000 people but that is because the focus is on offering a luxury experience, with VIP hospitality the focus.
Fans will also be treated to post-race concerts headlined by Pharrell Williams, The Who and DJ Armin van Buuren.
Yas Marina has experience of a Formula 1 title showdown - and it was one of the most exciting in the sport's history.
In 2010, four drivers - Fernando Alonso, Mark Webber, Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton - were mathematically in contention to win the title.

Alonso was favourite with an eight-point lead over Webber, and Vettel a further seven behind. Hamilton was the outsider, 24 adrift with only a maximum of 25 available.
Vettel led away from pole with Hamilton second, Alonso third and Webber fifth. If things stayed the same, Alonso would clinch the title.
But Red Bull gambled on an early pit stop for Webber, and Ferrari covered it by pitting Alonso. It did not pay off. Both dropped down the field and failed to recover.
Vettel stormed clear at the front to become the sport's youngest champion, ahead of Hamilton, while Alonso could only finish seventh and Webber eighth.

The cyber-attack caused havoc for businesses around the globe, but mainly in Ukraine.
The potential solution only works if the ransomware secured administration privileges to the machine.
However Positive Technologies said the concept is currently too technical for most average computer users to run.
"Once you have a proof of concept of how data can be decrypted, the information security community can take this knowledge and develop automatic tools, or simplify the methodology of getting the encryption reversed," said the firm's Dan Tara.
The company says in a blog that the creators of the ransomware made mistakes in programming the encryption algorithm Salsa 20 that was used with administration rights.
Mr Tara said his team had not expected to get this result when it started investigating the outbreak.
"Recovering data from a hard drive with this method requires applying heuristics, and may take several hours," said Head of Reverse Engineering Dmitry Sklyarov.
"The completeness of data recovery depends on many factors (disk size, free space, and fragmentation) and may be able to reach 100% for large disks that contain many standard files, such as OS [Operating Systems] and application components that are identical on many machines and have known values."
It is impossible to work out how many victims would have had their administration privileges taken over.
Without this, the ransomware carries out a different method of encryption which is only reversible with a private key obtainable from the criminals behind it.
However the email address that was provided was initially shut down meaning that they were not contactable by victims who chose to try to pay.
The research team's finding only works on the recent Petya ransomware and its variants.
"It doesn't look like a working solution yet but it gives cause for hope," said security expert Prof Alan Woodward, from the University of Surrey.
Salsa20, which activates when the ransomware has admin privileges, corrupts a device's Master File Table (MFT), meaning that files are lost forever.
"What they seem to have discovered is that there's a portion of the MFT that isn't corrupted and they are suggesting they may have found a way of recovering that," Prof Woodward added.
"If that is true, that would be a significant finding. It may actually allow people to recover the so-called boot disks, that contain the original operating system, which we were assuming you couldn't do."
Earlier this week the perpetrators of the attack appeared to have accessed the ransom payments they raised and made fresh demands.
Consumer goods giant Reckitt Benckiser, which makes Nurofen painkillers, Dettol cleaner and Durex condoms, said the attack may have cost it £110m because of lost production and delivery time, the Financial Times reported.
A planning application has been lodged with Pembrokeshire council for the development to be built on land at Slade Lane in Haverfordwest.
The site was previously earmarked for a Sainsbury's superstore, but the supermarket pulled out last year, saying it was "no longer viable".
Developers Conygar has proposed a five-screen cinema and five restaurants.
The site would also include a 168-space car park, with access off the new roundabout on Thomas Parry Way.
The consortium for Portsmouth's South Parade Pier is fronted by Southsea entrepreneur Lawrence Mendel, the Portsmouth News has reported.
The BBC has been unable to contact Mr Mendel, who has been listed as the pier's director since 27 March.
The pier, which was reportedly sold that month, has been closed since 2012.
Portsmouth City Council has confirmed the pier, which is in a state of disrepair, has a new owner but has not named them.
One of the pier's previous owners Dawn Randall said she could not yet reveal the identity of the new owner after "signing an agreement".
However, the council said it had been "really encouraged" after seeing "detailed plans" for repairs and restoration of the structure following a meeting earlier with the lead surveyor.
It added the owner had said the pier would not open this year due to the amount of work which needed to be done, including storm damage repairs.
It is likely the work will have to be carried out from barges alongside the pier as the structure "can't cope with the extra weight of machinery", a council spokesman said.
Community group The South Parade Trust had hoped to take over the pier and received a £10,000 grant in March, but said millions of pounds would be needed to restore the structure to its former glory.
Users saw an error message that read "Sorry, something went wrong. We're working on it and we'll get it fixed as soon as we can."
Company shares were down nearly 4% at $89.25 (£58.83) shortly after the site went down. It also crashed on Thursday.
The social networking site is used by nearly 1.5 billion people worldwide.
All right, all right - the world is still spinning. But Facebook going down twice, in a relatively short timeframe, can be fairly significant. It moves markets - Facebook share price is down almost 4% as I write this.
The company's status page detailed a "major outage" on Monday, but things were soon back to normal.
A quick post-mortem, posted by an engineer at the company, said the problem was with its Graph API. In simplest terms, the "graph" is the term Facebook uses to describe the core of Facebook's system. Posts, photos, statuses are all connected to people, groups and pages via the Graph - and that's what failed.
Sometimes Facebook downtime can also affect other companies that tap into Facebook's data - like Tinder, for example.
The last time this happened, Facebook admitted it was something its own engineers had caused by tinkering. That's likely the case again here, but twice in a week will be a little frustrating for both users and shareholders.

People took to Twitter to lament and poke fun at the situation.
The Kingston police force in London pre-empted emergency cold turkey calls, with tongue firmly in cheek.
Sites that monitor disruptions said North America was particularly badly affected this time.
"We are currently restoring Facebook services that people had trouble accessing earlier today due to a configuration," said a Facebook spokesman.
Some users took to speculating about the cause.
Others sarcastically bid the site good riddance.
And some enjoyed underlining that Facebook's loss was Twitter's gain.
The incident happened outside The Ifor Hael Hotel in Llwynypia, Tonypandy, on Thursday at 23:15 BST.
Police are appealing for the driver and any occupants of a small hatchback car to come forward.
The road was closed overnight for five hours while investigations took place.
Mr Burnham, who has already contributed £1,375, said he wanted to end "the scandal" of rough sleeping across the city region's 10 boroughs by 2020.
The former Labour MP for Leigh was elected on Friday with 63% of the vote.
"We all have a duty," Mr Burnham said, to ensure "every Greater Mancunian has a stable place to call home".
While acknowledging his 2020 target was "quite ambitious", he said his appeal was "urgent - people need our help right now".
One rough sleeper in Manchester city centre told the BBC: "I sleep outside the theatre. It's not something I'm used to, I've always been a worker, I've worked for 25 years."
When asked what he thought of the fund's aims to end rough sleeping by 2020, he said: "We'll see. The only thing I can do is live in hope."
The fund will be set up as a community foundation, with local organisations able to bid for grants.
In its first few hours, a fundraising page raised more than £3,000.
Mr Burnham said that while Greater Manchester had experienced economic growth in recent years, it had also seen "a growing inequality which damages us all".
He added: "Whilst the city centre's skyline is filled with cranes, our streets should not be crowded with people who have no roof over their head.
"Rough sleeping and homelessness are not inevitable consequences of a 21st Century economy."
The former health secretary said the homelessness fund aimed to support schemes such as:
Mr Burnham appealed on the fundraising page: "I will provide leadership, but I need your help."
He urged people to donate a proportion of their own salary, a one-off amount, or to give furniture, building space, or their skills and expertise.
Jon Sparkes, chief executive of Crisis, the charity chosen to help set up the fund, said there were "solutions" to rising homelessness and Crisis would use its knowledge and experience to make sure donations were used effectively.
Mark McPherson, director at Homeless Link, said: "While we don't believe people should be made to feel obliged to make personal donations in order to solve homelessness, this pledge from Andy shows how seriously he takes the issue...
"Ending rough sleeping, however, requires many different solutions and the key will be to ensure that these donations, alongside public money, are used to best effect."
The firm said India is on track to become "our fastest country ever" to reach $1bn in gross sales.
Amazon's move comes a day after India's largest e-commerce firm Flipkart raised $1bn in fresh funding, the largest ever for an Indian internet firm.
India's total e-commerce market was worth $13bn in 2013.
But online travel accounted for more than 70% of the transactions.
According to research firm Forrester, online sales of retail goods were worth $1.6bn last year.
However, that number is expected to reach $76bn by 2021 as more people across the country get connected to the internet.
"We see huge potential in the Indian economy and for the growth of e-commerce in India," Jeff Bezos, chief executive of Amazon, said in a statement.
"After our first year in business, the response from customers and small and medium-sized businesses in India has far surpassed our expectations."
However, the level of mortgages being agreed fell away in the second half of the year.
Lenders advanced 27,700 loans to first-time buyers over the 12 months, totalling £2.9bn.
This was 16% up in volume, compared to the previous year, and 23% up in value.
The average first-time buyer's loan was 2.9 times gross income, of nearly £34,000, compared with a UK average of 3.4 times.
In the fourth quarter of the year, the average first-time buyer loan was £97,400. With interest rates low, the cost of servicing that averaged 17% of gross income.
With other lending seeing slower growth, house price activity was up by 6.6% of all UK activity, down from a 6.9% share in 2013.
Within that, home movers in Scotland - selling and then buying homes - took out 31,800 loans, 5% more than the previous year. The value of these loans was up £4.6bn, or 10%.
This was 2.6 times average £51,000 gross earnings for those taking out loans, whereas the UK average was 3 times.
There were 23,400 loans for re-mortgaging homes during last year, totalling £2.6bn. This was 14% down on 2013 by volume of transactions, and 9% down by value.
Linda Docherty, chair of Council of Mortgage Lenders in Scotland, commented: "More people bought a home in Scotland last year than in any year since 2008, with a pronounced increase in first-time buyer activity in particular.
"As in the UK overall, there was a quarter-on-quarter dip in activity in the final quarter of the year. However, with inflation being low, employment increasing and there being signs of growth in household income, we believe there are grounds for optimism for continuing growth, albeit at a likely slower rate.
"The introduction in Scotland of Land and Buildings Transaction Tax, replacing stamp duty from April, should help provide a boost to the housing market, which could see half of new borrowers paying no tax when purchasing a home."
Meanwhile, Homes for Scotland, the construction industry body, called on the Scottish government to follow the example of the Welsh Assembly administration, in extending the Help to Buy shared equity scheme, which quickly ran out of funds last year due to the level of demand.
Chief executive Philip Hogg said more than 4,000 properties have been purchased through the Scottish Help to Buy scheme since it was launched, boosting the construction industry.
"The lending slowdown in the last six months of 2014 matches with our concerns regarding the impact the interruption in Help to Buy funding has had on the home building industry and our projections that total new housing output will have been chiefly flat over the last calendar year," Mr Hogg explained.
"With the need to ensure we have enough homes in the right locations to meet Scotland's diverse housing needs fundamental to the First Minister's objective of improving opportunity for all, we therefore keenly await the next Scottish Government housing statistics which are due to be published shortly."
Mr Dresnok's children said he was loyal to North Korea until the end, in a video interview published last week by local news outlet Uriminzokkiri.
After crossing over to the North in 1962 he went to lead an extraordinary life in Pyongyang.
This included a stint as a star in North Korea's film industry.
Rumours of Mr Dresnok's death surfaced earlier this year, and the latest video, featuring his sons Ted and James Jr wearing military uniforms and speaking in fluent Korean, is confirmation.
James Jr said that "our family was shocked because my father died unexpectedly", but added "my father ended his days without regret."
Ted, who is the older son, said his father "received only the love and care of the party until his passing".
"One thing that our father asked us to do was to become faithful workers that render devoted service to the dear leader Kim Jong-Un and to raise our children so they will follow and brighten that path," he said.
The interview was published online by North Korean television news outlet Uriminzokkiri last Friday.
It was the second time the two sons had appeared on the channel. In May 2016 they were seen praising North Korea in another video.
The two men have said in the videos that they serve in North Korea's military, and are married with children.
Given that Mr Dresnok died last year, questions have been raised about the timing of the interview.
It was published just before the US and South Korea embarked on military exercises which routinely anger the North, and comes after weeks of provocative rhetoric between the US and Pyongyang.
It also appears to be targeted at a foreign audience - it was published on Uriminzokkiri's YouTube channel and has not been aired or mentioned in domestic media, according to BBC Monitoring.
But the video has also come out a week after the Los Angeles Times ran an interview with another US soldier who defected to North Korea, Charles Jenkins, whose past accounts have clashed with Mr Dresnok's. Mr Jenkins eventually made his way back to the US.
North Korean analyst Michael Madden told the BBC such videos were a relic from a bygone generation of North Korean propaganda play.
He said it was likely that many of those who acted as Mr Dresnok's minders are no longer part of the leadership.
Uriminzokkiri is not considered state media, but is thought to be run by North Korean intelligence, and is meant to have a pan-Korean outlook with an external focus, according to Mr Madden.
"The department is long known to have been responsible for the small and motley collection of foreign North Korean citizens, and the message conveyed by the sons of Mr Dresnok is likely to have been an important one for them," said Mr Madden.
Mr Dresnok was one of four US soldiers who defected to North Korea in the 1960s, and spent more than 50 years living in the secretive Communist country.
He was facing divorce and a court martial at the time of his defection.
In a 2006 documentary film with British filmmakers called Crossing The Line, he said he told himself "to hell with this - I was fed up with my childhood, my marriage, my military life. Everything - I was finished."
"There's only one place to go."
He left at lunchtime on 15 August 1962, not sure if he would survive the trip across the mine-strewn demilitarised zone (DMZ) marking the border between the North and South Korea.
But he did, eventually starting a new life on the other side, and marrying a Romanian woman, with whom he had Ted and James Jr.
He also had a third son, born in 2001, after he married the daughter of a Korean woman and an African diplomat following the death of his Romanian wife.
Along with other deserters, Mr Dresnok played a prominent role in North Korean propaganda cinema from the late 1970s onwards - playing the American enemy - and became a household celebrity.
He also taught in a foreign language college, and translated writings by North Korean leaders into English.
His voice was used in messages played across the border at his former brothers-in-arms, telling US soldiers about his new life and encouraging them to cross the border.
"I have never regretted coming to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea", he said in the 2006 film's opening minutes, speaking in English with a strong American accent.
"I feel at home. I really feel at home... I wouldn't trade it for nothing."
The Wales star, 27, hobbled out of Tuesday's 2-1 Champions League win at Sporting Lisbon with an ankle injury.
"He suffered more of a twist than a knock, but we will have to wait and see what the problem is," said Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane.
La Liga leaders Real, who have a four-point advantage over Barca, go to the Nou Camp on Saturday, 3 December.
Zidane added: "On Wednesday, he will be examined by our medical staff and after that, we will find out more."
The Champions League holders booked their place in the last 16 by beating Portuguese side Sporting with a late goal.
France defender Raphael Varane put them ahead, but Adrien Silva's 81st-minute penalty appeared to be enough to earn a draw for the home side.
Substitute Karim Benzema nodded in centre-back Sergio Ramos's cross as Madrid extended their unbeaten run in all competitions to 30 games.
Zidane's team will finish top of Group F if they win their final match against current leaders Borussia Dortmund, who thrashed Legia Warsaw in a record 8-4 win.

Mayor Sadiq Khan promised in his manifesto that Londoners "won't pay a penny more for their travel in 2020 than they do today".
While many voters and at one point TfL assumed he meant all fares in London, including rail fares (which affects south London predominantly), actually it transpired he meant just TfL fares.
The mayor has defended himself, pointing repeatedly to another sentence in his manifesto which said he would freeze "TfL fares" and says he delivered on that promise.
Putting that long-running row to one side (and I doubt it will go away), the letter shows you the start of what the TfL fares freeze will mean.
And the point is the TfL fares freeze will cost £640m, so it now has to make efficiencies.
Those cuts are on top of the loss of Tfl's £591m government operational grant by 2018.
The letter is to all directors and band five managers - senior managers - and asks them if they want to be considered for redundancy.
It says: "TfL faces unprecedented financial challenge and we do not have enough money to continue as we are.
"We need to make our business sustainable and transport affordable for the millions who rely on us while protecting vital investment and day-to-day services.
"We need to set ourselves up for success by ensuring our organisation, and in particular our senior manager structure, is right for the future."
It goes on: "This is examining every element of what we do to eliminate unnecessary duplication, obtain greater value from procurement, cut reliance on agency staff and cut costs across all functions."
This is just the start of big changes at TfL.
Inevitably these redundancy trawls will become more common and probably affect all levels of staffing.
Ex-Massey Energy CEO Don Blankenship was convicted of misdemeanour conspiracy to violate mine safety standards.
The 2010 Upper Big Branch mine disaster in West Virginia was the deadliest mine explosion in decades.
Mr Blankenship expressed sorrow but denied he was responsible during the sentencing hearing.
A judge also gave him the maximum fine of $250,000 (£165,000).
He called the coal miners who died "great guys, great coal miners".
"It is important to everyone that you know that I'm not guilty of a crime," he said.
His lawyers had argued probation and a fine would be a more appropriate sentence.
Family members of miners killed in the accident yelled at him as he left the courthouse.
"We buried our kid because of you," said Robert Atkins, whose son died in the accident. "That's all I got is a goddamn tombstone."
Mr Blankenship was convicted of conspiracy last December, and the former superintendent of the mine was given 21 months in prison for falsifying records, disabling a methane gas monitor and tipping off workers ahead of inspections. In total, the investigation into the explosion resulted in five criminal convictions.
"This sentence is a victory for workers and workplace safety," said Acting US Attorney Carol Casto in a release. "It lets companies and their executives know that you can't take chances with the lives of coal miners and get away with it."
Harris Faulkner said the company's portrayal of her as a plastic hamster "was demeaning and insulting".
She filed a legal case saying the toy resembled her traditional professional appearance, including complexion, eye shape and eye make-up design.
The toy is part of the company's popular Littlest Pet Shop collection.
It was first introduced in 2014, according to legal documents obtained by entertainment news website Deadline.
The legal case, which was filed at a district court in New Jersey on Monday, said Hasbro had "wilfully and wrongfully appropriated Faulkner's unique and valuable name and distinctive persona for its own financial gain".
It said Mrs Faulkner, who has been a Fox News anchor for 10 years, had never given the toy manufacturer permission to use her name or likeness and in January demanded they stop using the product.
But three weeks later, it said, the doll was still available on the Hasbro website.
Ms Faulkner said she did not want to be associated with a toy that is a "known choking hazard that risks harming small children".
However, Julie Duffy, a spokeswoman for the company, said the Littlest Pet Shop toys "meet and exceed all safety standards".
The company is behind other well-known toy brands, including Transformers and My Little Pony.
Louis van Gaal's side failed to record a single shot on target as their 10-match unbeaten league run was ended.
Dusan Tadic scored the only goal of the game when he tapped in calmly from 12 yards after Graziano Pelle's effort had come back off the near post.

The Reds improved after the goal but Juan Mata missed two good chances.
It is the first time United have been beaten at home since their opening day reverse against Swansea and reaffirms Southampton's top-four credentials, as Ronald Koeman's side backed up their home win against Arsenal with another three points.
The visitors had not won at Old Trafford in the top tier since January 1988 - a run stretching back 19 games - and this result was built on a 10th clean sheet in 21 games.
Even after centre-half Toby Alderweireld left the pitch injured in the first half, Southampton remained well-drilled and limited United's array of attacking talent to very few chances.
United's front four, plus wing-backs Luke Shaw and Antonio Valencia, cost the club almost £200m in transfer fees but the best they managed in a poor first half was Angel Di Maria's shot which was dragged past an upright.

Nathaniel Clyne also shot wide for the visitors, while some smart defending from Jose Fonte blocked Robin van Persie's effort.
The game was being played at a sedate pace and only burst into life when Tadic completed a fine move after good work from James Ward-Prowse and Pelle.
United took off former Southampton full-back Luke Shaw and switched Daley Blind to the left, and the Dutchman's dangerous deliveries presented the Reds with two good chances to level.
First, he whipped in a dangerous ball which goalkeeper Fraser Forster failed to deal with and Mata's shot went just wide.
Minutes later, Blind drove a low ball into the box and Mata stabbed over from six yards out.
However Saints held on for arguably their most impressive victory of the season and one which puts them three points clear in the Champions League places.
Hong Kong students angry at China's plan to vet candidates for 2017 polls say protesters will start occupying government buildings if Mr Leung does not resign by Thursday night.
State media, however, dismiss the calls and praise the chief executive's performance.
"The chief executive is chosen through a legal election process and appointed by the central government. The central government fully trusts Mr Leung, and is very satisfied with his work performance," says People's Daily.
Criticising the protesters for disrupting social order and challenging the "law", the front-page commentary stresses that Beijing will not change its position on Hong Kong and will continue to back Mr Leung "for the sake of national security and interests, as well as for the interests of Hong Kong".
"The central government will continue to give Chief Executive CY Leung its firm support to execute his policies in accordance to the law. The government will firmly support the police in dealing with the illegal activities in the city," states the article.
In a separate report, the paper quotes several experts from think-tanks and universities in the mainland on Hong Kong affairs.
The report says most experts agree that the protesters are hurting Hong Kong's interests and "they are not executing the freedom of expression in a normal way".
Echoing similar views, an article in the China News Service slams the protesters for "bringing shame to the rule of law in Hong Kong".
News portal China.com, in a commentary, accuses the US and UK of "inciting" the Occupy Central campaign "in order to mess up Hong Kong".
"China is developing while the US and UK are on the decline, so they could only gather a minority of Hong Kongers who forgot their roots to create trouble for China. Such a scheme will definitely not succeed," says the article.
Adopting a softer approach, the Shenzhen News website publishes an open letter from a high school student in Shenzhen, a southern China city bordering Hong Kong.
"When I know that some students in Hong Kong are participating in the class boycott, and even taking to the streets, I cannot understand why. Being a student of your age, and being your neighbour, I have some heartfelt words to share," writes the "ordinary high school student" known as Si Yu.
The letter, which has been reprinted on various websites, urges Hong Kong students to "go back to class, and to believe in the country".
Ending the letter on an emotional note, the writer says that "we all have a home, its name is China… I deeply believe that when the country is good, Hong Kong will also be good".
But some of China's main newspapers continue to ignore the protests. Outlets including the Beijing Times, Beijing News and Southern Metropolis make no mention of them.
Instead, the papers have reprinted a Xinhua News Agency report noting that celebrations to mark the 1 October National Day attracted "large crowd of people in Hong Kong".
Meanwhile in Hong Kong, papers remain divided.
Pro-Beijing China Review News says the "mastermind of the protests" should be punished and cautions Hong Kong authorities to remain on high alert against "foreign forces" supporting the opposition.
Calling for solidarity among the protesters, the editorial of the pro-democracy Apple Daily cautions "the people" to be "on high alert against the underhanded measures" of the chief executive.
The article accuses Mr Leung of "pushing the blame of the chaos on the protesters and trying to reinforce his power".
"He is not solving the problem, instead he is intensifying the conflicts, as preparation for clamping down the protests," says the article, urging protesters to "fight a long war" and not to lose the understanding and support of ordinary residents.
Noting the silence from top officials, the South China Morning Post says the Beijing and Hong Kong governments "are playing a waiting game in hope Occupy will run out of steam".
And finally, several Hong Kong celebrities have voiced their support for the protest.
"What Hong Kong is going through now fills our hearts with pain. Most importantly, hope the students and residents are safe and sound. Hong Kong, add oil! [a form of cheer which means 'come on'!]," singer Sammi Cheng writes on her Weibo, a Twitter-like service.
According to audio uploaded on the Apple Daily's website, reputed actor Chow Yun Fat said he was "touched by the brave actions of the protesters and the residents", adding that the police "were wrong" to fire tear gas at students who were "rational".

Of the 86 players to make the cut, only the top 10 had been unable to start when play was suspended at 19:15.
Joint leaders Robert Streb and Jimmy Walker are nine under, two clear of Australia's world number one Jason Day and Argentina's Emiliano Grillo.
Kevin Kisner is the clubhouse leader on five under after a five-under 65.
Thirty-seven players had completed their third rounds before the klaxon sounded to suspend play.
Phil Mickelson, who carded a two-under 68 on Saturday to get to one under before the storm arrived, said he thinks the major record of 63 will be broken in the final two rounds this weekend.
Streb birdied his last hole, after missing a birdie putt on the hole before, to card a seven-under 63 on Friday to move into a tie for the halfway lead.
And Mickelson, who missed a putt for a 62 at The Open earlier in July, said: "There's a 61 or 62 out there because it's par 70, the greens are pristine - they're rolling beautifully - and they're soft.
"There's just a lot of birdie holes."
Mickelson won the US PGA when it was last held at Baltusrol in 2005.
He added: "The rain has taken a lot of the fire and the speed out of the greens and it's also softened the fairways to where balls stay in the fairways.
"You're going to hit a lot of six, seven and eight irons at the pin and have the ball just stop right by its divot is taking away the challenge of the greens."
Ireland's Padraig Harrington, who won this tournament in 2008, had a bogey-free 65 to move up to four under.
Russell Knox of Scotland rushed to tap in for par on the last to complete a three-under 67 and three under par total, seconds before the klaxon sounded to signify all play must stop.
England's Justin Rose celebrated his 36th birthday with a four-under 66, that included three birdies in his last four holes, to move up to two under.
And Italian Francesco Molinari had an incredible back nine, finishing with six successive birdies to post a two-under 68 for a one-under total.
However, Wales' Bradley Dredge moved backwards, dropping five shots in his opening seven holes on his way to a 75 and five-over total.
His compatriot Jamie Donaldson was lining up a four-foot par putt on the par-four first after playing his second and third shots from bunkers when play was suspended.
Meyrick Bramhill-Purchase, 63, pleaded not guilty and Mo Quan Zhou, 44, made no plea, during a hearing before Derby magistrates.
The charges relate to the operation of eight suspected brothels in Chesterfield, Derby, and Lincoln between May 2015 and May 2017.
The men were remanded in custody and are due at Derby Crown Court on 9 June.
Mr Bramhill-Purchase, of Muntjac Way, Witham St Hughs, Lincolnshire, and Mr Zhou of London Road, Derby were charged with controlling prostitution for gain, causing/inciting prostitution for gain, and human trafficking - arranging or facilitating travel of another person with a view to exploitation under the Modern Slavery Act 2015.
The men were arrested after an investigation by Derbyshire and Lincolnshire police forces.
Below, Colin suggests which horses to look out for as the famous Gloucestershire course prepares for it's annual, four-day jump festival.
Follow the Cheltenham Festival with BBC Sport.
13:30 GMT - Supreme Novices Hurdle: The first race on day one is going to be an absolute belter. If you like horses for courses, Ballyandy (10-3) is a 'give me'. I know there's a Willie Mullins hotpot in the race in Melon, but Ballyandy is that good.
15:30 GMT - Stan James Champion Hurdle: This is the big race of the day. I know a lot of horses are not going to be there but it is still an absolutely fantastic race. Yanworth (11-4) from Alan King's yard looks like an absolute beauty. It is a lovely-looking horse and I really expect that to come up the hill like a train.
14:10 GMT - RSA Chase: For me, Might Bite (7-2) from Nicky Henderson's yard looks a star in the making and is going to be a brilliant horse on its day. I cannot see it being beaten. People are worried about his jumping but Henderson will get it bang on - there is not a better trainer than Henderson at Cheltenham.
15:30 GMT - Queen Mother Champion Chase: Douvan (1-4) is odds-on for a reason. It is really, really good. But I don't back odds-on shots and, if you're looking to have a couple of shillings each way, then try God's Own (12-1) from Tom George's Yard, because any mistakes that Douvan makes, he will be all over him.
16:10 GMT - Pertemps Network Final: Trainer Philip Hobbs tells me he is very hopeful for this one. For Good Measure (10-1).
16:50 GMT - The Trull House Stud Mares' Novices Hurdle: By now we are going to know how Mullins' horses are getting on. For me, Let's Dance (2-1) is probably one of his best horses of the whole meeting. This horse is awesome.
14:50 GMT - Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle: Wholestone (5-1). I love this horse. I think he's going to be excellent. I can't believe he's not favourite for the race - he should be.
15:30 GMT - Cheltenham Gold Cup: We know certain horses aren't going to be there but this is still one fantastic race. Which one is going to win it? For me, a couple of local horses, Bristol de Mai and More of That will do well and, if the ground dries up, they are both going to run absolute crackers. Bristol de Mai (20-1) gets my vote. Ignore his last run, it was too bad to believe.
16:50 - Martin Pipe Conditional Jockey' Handicap Hurdle: It's Poetic Rhythm (40-1) shot in the conditional hurdle for me. It knows Cheltenham really well.
All odds correct as of Monday, 13 March.
Colin Onens was speaking to BBC Radio Gloucestershire's Paul Furley.
Police said a man, 71, was in custody after his arrest on Thursday morning in the Wisbech area of Cambridgeshire.
Officers are searching a property in Norfolk.
Mr Martin lived alone at a farmhouse in Emneth Hungate, Norfolk, when he caught Brendon Fearon and Fred Barras inside.
Live updates: Tony Martin arrested on suspicion of firearm offence
He fired his shotgun three times towards the intruders, killing Mr Barras, 16.
The case provoked a national debate about the measures homeowners can take to defend their property.
Mr Martin was released in 2003 after serving two-thirds of a five-year sentence.
He was found guilty of murder in 2000, but his conviction was reduced on appeal to manslaughter.
Norfolk police said in a statement: "As part of a planned operation, a 71-year-old man has been arrested in Wisbech this morning on suspicion of possession of an illegal firearm.
"A police search of a property in Emneth Hungate is currently being undertaken."
Olmert was handed a six-year sentence in 2014 after being convicted of bribery charges relating to his time as Mayor of Jerusalem.
This was reduced to 18 months in December, but an extra month was added last week for obstruction of justice.
In a video released on Monday, the 70-year-old said he "rejects outright" the bribery charges.
It came just hours before Olmert, prime minister from 2006 to 2009, was due to arrive at Maasiyahu prison in the central Israeli town of Ramle.
In March 2014 he was found guilty of accepting, while he was Mayor of Jerusalem, a 500,000-shekel ($129,000; £89,000) bribe from developers of one real estate project and a 60,000-shekel bribe in connection with another.
But the Supreme Court subsequently cleared him of the charge of accepting the 500,000-shekel bribe and reduced his sentence to 18 months.
On 10 February, the court rejected key part of a plea bargain and added one month on to Olmert's sentence after he admitted attempting to persuade his former secretary not to testify against him.
The Supreme Court is yet to rule on an appeal by Olmert against an eight-month prison sentence he was handed last year after being convicted of fraud and breach of trust for accepting illegal payments from an American businessman.
James Brokenshire made the comments after meeting Irish Foreign Minister Charlie Flanagan.
Martin McGuinness resigned on Monday in protest against the handling of the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme.
The Sinn Féin MLA said he was willing to meet the DUP about the crisis that looks set to spark a snap election.
After meeting Mr Flanagan on Thursday, Mr Brokenshire said they discussed "a way forward" to "support the parties to avoid an election".
The secretary of state added that "the clock is ticking down towards the start of next week" when an election would be inevitable.
"It's important for the parties to talk together and anything that indicates a move to encourage that type of discussion I take as helpful, albeit that position does remain serious and stark," he said.
"We are still looking at an election, but we are doing everything we can, as the two governments, to work with the political parties to see if there is a way forward that can be found," he added.
Mr Brokenshire and Mr Flanagan also held separate meetings with the political parties on Thursday.
The Sinn Féin delegation was led by Mr McGuinness and included Michelle O'Neill and Conor Murphy.
Mr Flanagan said that an election seemed "even more likely" and that there will be "an extremely difficult challenge following the election in putting together an administration".
Taoiseach (Irish Prime Minister) Enda Kenny said any talks between parties would have the full backing of the governments in Dublin and London.
But Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams continued to insist there is no basis for any negotiation.
The party has also confirmed it will not be replacing Mr McGuinness as deputy first minister.
Under Northern Ireland's power-sharing agreement, his departure meant DUP First Minister Arlene Foster also lost her job.
Under Stormont rules, Sinn Féin have until next Monday to nominate a new deputy first minister, or the secretary of state must call an election.
Next Monday, Stormont's finance committee is having an additional meeting to discuss the budget.
Former first minister Mrs Foster has warned that if an election goes ahead, it will be "brutal".
She set up the RHI scheme in 2012 when she was enterprise minister, in an attempt by the NI Executive to increase consumption of heat from renewable sources.
However, businesses received more in subsidies than they paid for fuel, and the scheme became heavily oversubscribed.
Not for the first time the institutions at Stormont are on the brink of collapse, as efforts continue on both sides of the border, to break the deadlock.
On Wednesday night, Martin McGuinness told Enda Kenny he was willing to meet the DUP.
But in a statement later, party president Gerry Adams said while Sinn Féin was open to talks, it could see no basis yet for credible negotiation this side of an election.
From 17:00 GMT on Monday it will be over to the secretary of state to set a date for an election.
While both parties accept an election is the likely outcome, they will continue to use what little time they have left to try to save the institutions."
Sinn Féin Finance Minister Máirtín Ó Muilleoir told BBC's Good Morning Ulster on Thursday that while talks with the DUP were the "right thing to do", he did not hold think they were likely to resolve matters.
Sinn Féin is to hold the first of a number of election selection conventions on Sunday.
An election, which is widely predicted to take place in early March, could cost the taxpayer around £5m.
Ulster Unionist Party leader Mike Nesbitt said that direct rule from Westminster was a possibility should the two biggest parties returned in the election fail to reach agreement.
But Colum Eastwood, leader of the Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP), said there could be no return to direct rule.
It follows claims broadcast on the BBC's Panorama that grants were made to charities in return for electoral support in Tower Hamlets.
Three files of material were handed to the police by the Department of Communities and Local Government.
The Met said there would be no new investigation into the files.
However the Met said there was an continuing investigation by police into alleged irregularity concerning money awarded by Tower Hamlets Council to an organisation within the borough.
Panorama had alleged the council, run by directly-elected mayor Lutfur Rahman, had diverted £3.6m of grants to Bangladeshi and Somali-run charities in return for political support.
A Scotland Yard spokesman said the files had been reviewed by a team of officers over the past six days.
It said: "In addition, officers have liaised with Pricewaterhouse Coopers LLP (PWC) who are conducting a full and wide-ranging audit of financial matters at The London Borough of Tower Hamlets."
Tower Hamlets Council insisted it had "seen no evidence" that its processes had been run inappropriately.
A spokesman for the council said: "The news from the Metropolitan Police is to be welcomed and Tower Hamlets will continue to work with the auditors and DCLG."
Panorama had said it found Bangladeshi-born Mr Rahman had more than doubled funding recommended by officers for Bengali-run charities.
In a statement, it said: "We continue to stand by the programme's findings which uncovered serious concerns about the use of public money, which are still being investigated by the government.
"Our programme did not say there was evidence of criminality."
The inspection by PWC is continuing to look into the authority's payment of grants, the transfer of property, spending decisions in relation to publicity, and other contractual processes, from 25 October 2010.
It has been asked to report back to Communities and Local Government Secretary Eric Pickles by 30 June.
The Met Police said before the three files were handed to officers a report concerning irregularity was made to police by Tower Hamlets Council on 20 March.
Tower Hamlets Criminal Investigation Department is currently investigating irregularity concerning money awarded to the Brady Youth Forum in January and April 2013, which was identified in an internal review by the council.
There are elections in London on 22 May, including for the directly-elected Mayor of Tower Hamlets. A list of candidates will be published after the close of nominations next week.
Part of London Road - the main route into the town - has been shut since 10 August for barrier works.
Some firms claim there has been a drop in trade with residents now opting to shop elsewhere.
Network Rail (NR) said the crossing would open by 11 October and there were no plans to permanently close the crossing.
However, local taxi driver Jaffa Hassan said signs in the town stated work would continue until 22 October.
He said the work was costing him fares, as people were not willing to pay the extra fare to divert around the closure, and described peak times as "gridlocked".
Ben Jackson, president of Bicester Chamber of Commerce, said traders had noticed a "drop-off" in the number of people shopping in Bicester.
He also said some residents were now shopping in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, claiming it was "quicker and easier".
NR said the crossing was being upgraded in preparation for a new service that starts later this month from Oxford Parkway through Bicester to London Marylebone.
The vote opens the way for an early election, now expected in April rather than the scheduled July.
Mr Borisov's surprise resignation followed nationwide street protests against high electricity prices and austerity measures.
On Tuesday clashes between protesters and police left at least 14 people injured.
The government's resignation was accepted in a 209-5 vote.
President Rosen Plevneliev will now try to appoint an interim cabinet, to take the country through to early elections.
A crowd of supporters chanted their approval of Mr Borisov as he left the parliament building - a stark contrast to the anger of the streets during the past 10 days, says the BBC's Nick Thorpe in Sofia.
But Bulgarian commentators largely agree that his departure deepens rather than solves the crisis, our correspondent says.
The protesters have accused the whole political class of being corrupt and inefficient, not just Mr Borisov's party.
By Nick ThorpeBBC Central Europe correspondent
The surprise resignation of Boiko Borisov and his GERB (Citizens for the European Development of Bulgaria) cabinet leaves Bulgaria in turmoil.
Mr Borisov has made clear that he and his party will not take part in an interim administration.
GERB were trailing in polls to the opposition Bulgarian Socialist Party even before the current unrest.
One interesting aspect of the protests is that they are taking place largely independently of traditional political parties and trade unions.
The core of the protesters are young people, organising via social media sites such as Facebook.
The immediate concern in Bulgaria is stability. Many parallels are being drawn with 1997, when the socialist administration was brought down by street protests.
Some commentators said Mr Borisov's resignation may have been designed to save too much damage to the ruling party.
The street protests across Bulgaria, which is the EU's poorest country, were initially over high electricity prices but soon took an anti-government turn.
The prime minister tried to calm the protests on Tuesday by promising to slash prices and by sacking his finance minister.
He also pledged to punish foreign-owned power companies that he said charged too much.
But our correspondent says that the clashes on Tuesday were the last straw for Mr Borisov.
The government lost support after it abandoned plans in March 2012 to build a new nuclear power station at Belene, close to the Romanian border.
A controversial referendum last month on whether to build a second nuclear power plant was invalidated by a low turnout, although more than 60% of those who voted backed the idea.
Correspondents say that while budget cuts have felled a series of governments around Europe, Mr Borisov - a former bodyguard to Bulgaria's Soviet-era dictator Todor Zhivkov - had until recent weeks seemed relatively immune.
The body of Leighanne Cameron, 29, was discovered at a house in Calder House Road, Mid Calder, on Wednesday.
Erhan Havaleoglu, aged 35 and originally from Turkey, made no plea or declaration when he appeared at Livingston Sheriff Court.
He was remanded in custody and is expected to appear again next week.
Police are still carrying out inquiries and have appealed for witnesses.
Ms Cameron's family said: "Leighanne was a much-loved daughter, sister and mother of two young children whom she adored, and who absolutely adored her."
"She was an intelligent and talented individual with huge energy and her tragic loss has left us and her wide circle of genuine friends all utterly devastated."
Det Insp Phil Richards, of Police Scotland, said: "We are still looking to trace witnesses in connection with this incident and are appealing for anyone with information to come forward.
"Anyone who was in the Calder House Road area on Wednesday 28 October, between 20:00 and 21:30, is asked to contact police immediately."
The coroner Sir John Goldring told the remaining jury members there was a "medical basis" for the woman being discharged.
Six women and three men will continue to consider how and why 96 Liverpool fans died in Britain's worst sporting disaster on 15 April 1989.
The jury was sent out on Wednesday after more than two years of evidence.
The hearings, which are the longest running inquests in British legal history, began on 31 March 2014 with the maximum of 11 jurors.
That number was reduced to 10 in February last year when a juror was discharged for "wholly exceptional medical reasons".
The minimum number that can hear evidence at an inquest is seven.
Despite losing 2-0 to Hapoel Beer Sheva in Israel, the Scottish champions won the play-off 5-4 on aggregate.
"They're going back in amongst Europe's elite - it's where Celtic belong," said Rodgers.
"Tonight was really about getting through and all the plaudits go to the players because they got through."
Goals from Ben Sahar and Ovidiu Hoban made the match a nervous experience for Celtic but they did enough to avoid conceding a third that would have taken Hapoel through on away goals.
The aggregate success takes Celtic back into the group stage - a feat they were unable to achieve under Rodgers' predecessor Ronny Deila over the past two seasons.
"This is a huge step for us," said Rodgers, whose club stands to make around £30m from the group stage. "It's an incredible moment for them.
"At Celtic, when I came in, the focus of the criticism was that they couldn't tough it out, but we showed over two games and under a huge amount of pressure that this team can.
"You have to take into consideration the mentality of the players in the last couple of seasons when it's been so tough for them, mentally, to go out at this stage.
"We've only been together a short period of time. We've made huge strides as a team and as a club in every way.
"We showed an incredible desire to want to see the game through and you can't ask any more. They coped really, really well."
At 0-0, Celtic goalkeeper Craig Gordon saved Maharan Radi's penalty and Rodgers said: "It was a huge save at that time of the game. He's read it really well."
The draw for the group stage takes place on Thursday and Celtic are likely to be in the fourth pot of seeds while Barcelona, holders Real Madrid, Leicester City and Bayern Munich will be among the sides in pot one.
"There's so much riding on this qualification - so much has been spoken about," added Rodgers.
"It has really happened and we've qualified. Great for the nation as well. For Scotland, it's huge."

Navitus Bay proposes building up to 218 turbines off the Dorset and Hampshire coast and west of the Isle of Wight.
The company has said the wind farm could generate enough electricity to power up to 790,000 homes each year.
Campaign groups have expressed concern about the visual impact on the Dorset coast, a Unesco World Heritage Site.
David Lloyd, a member of Challenge Navitus, said the consultation was "a complete waste of time" and described it as a "box ticking exercise".
"They hired out a church hall in Swanage from 9am to midday, when most people are at work," he said.
"There were no displays, just two people and chairs."
He said the proposed wind farm was planned for a busy shipping area, would disrupt migrating birds and would have a negative visual impact on the area.
Charlie Sanderson, an artist who lives in Swanage, organised a public protest against the wind farm in January which attracted hundreds of people for and against the scheme.
She said: "It would be an eyesore and destroy the beauty of the area for the profit of a few foreign companies.
"It's never going to be acceptable in the location that's been proposed.
"It would kill birds and dolphins and disturb them so they wouldn't come to this area any more."
Navitus Bay project director Mike Unsworth said: "Navitus Bay is committed to communicating honestly and openly with members of the public to ensure that they are given as much information as possible about the proposed wind park...
"We are still listening and will continue to act on the feedback we receive. We would therefore encourage as many people as possible to come to these sessions to hear more about our proposals and to make their views known."
Navitus has also announced a shortlist of three local ports - Poole, Portland and Yarmouth - which would host the wind park's operations and maintenance functions.
The company estimates its operation and maintenance base would create 160 jobs annually.
The three-hour drop-in sessions will be held in eight different locations across the region.
Details can be found on the Navitus Bay website.
Mae gorchmynion diogelu FGM yn gwahardd merched sydd mewn perygl o'r arferiad rhag cael eu cymryd y tu allan i'r DU.
Mae ffigyrau sydd wedi dod i law'r NSPCC yn dangos nad oes un achos o orchymyn llys wedi bod yng Nghymru i gymharu gyda 77 yn Lloegr rhwng Mehefin 2015 - Gorffennaf 2016.
Mae'r NSPCC wedi dweud nad oes gan FGM "unrhyw le mewn cymdeithas."
Mae torri organau rhywiol yn anghyfreithlon ym Mhrydain ers 1985 ac mae'r arferiad yn cael ei wneud yn aml am resymau crefyddol a diwylliannol mewn rhai cymunedau.
Gallai unrhyw un wneud cais am orchymyn diogelu yn erbyn FGM ers 2015, mae hyn yn rhoi hawl i'r llys ddiarddel dogfennau teithio i atal unrhyw ferch rhag teithio dramor.
Dywedodd llefarydd ar ran elusen Women's Aid: "Mae angen dangos agwedd gryfach tuag at gefnogi'r gwasanaethau arbenigol a thuag at ferched sydd yn cael eu heffeithio gan FGM.
"Er bod mesurau mewn lle yn gyfreithiol, mae cyn lleied o bobl sydd wedi cael ei herlyn yng Nghymru yn dangos bad angen ymrwymiad cryfach."
Dywedodd pennaeth yr NSPCC, John Cameron, bod FGM yn enghraifft o "gam-drin plant" ac yn erbyn y gyfraith.
"Mae'n hanfodol i bawb ddeall bod FGM yn cael effaith fawr ar y dioddefwr," meddai.
Mae llefarydd ar ran y swyddfa Gartref wedi ymateb drwy ddweud: "Mae FGM yn broses dreisgar na ddylai unrhyw ferch fynd drwyddo.

Lara Clarke, an amateur baker from Brownhills, West Midlands, has joined a worldwide collaboration of bakers.
The group plans to post pictures of their cakes online in time for 31 July - the birthday of the author and her fictional creation Harry Potter.
Other cakes include the Weasley's flying car and the Hogwart's library.
Ms Clarke said the chocolate bust of Harry was life-sized.
The amateur baker whose previous creations include a Land Rover and Hollywood stars Johnny Depp and Jennifer Lawrence, said she met her fellow baking enthusiasts online.
Mark Stephens, 44, attacked Rita Stephens, 67, at their home in Pencoed on 19 June 2015 after a drinking session when she criticised the way he ran the family furniture firm.
He told Swansea Crown Court he "snapped" after an argument over business debts.
He was found guilty of murder and sentenced to a minimum of 20 years.
The court was told Ms Stephens had 38 wounds and prosecutor Roger Thomas QC described the murder as "vicious and brutal".
"Mrs Stephens was a widow, a small, frail lady," he said.
"He claims to have little or no recollection at all of what happened after coming home, falling asleep and hearing his mother say 'get out'.
"There was no respect for his mother, dead or alive, and no thought for other members of his family."
Stephens told his family his mother was "sick in the toilet" when they phoned to check on her.
He told the court: "In my head I'm thinking 'I've lost everything because of you' and I stood up and we grappled and I snapped."
Stephens admitted manslaughter but denied murder.
Mr Justice David Holgate said: "You have shown only self pity for the situation you have found yourself in.
"From your evidence in court it's plain you still show no remorse at all for having killed your mother."
A statement from Ms Stephens' family said: "Rita was our mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, sister and aunt.
"She was a matriarch of the family and we will not allow the tragedy that has befallen us to break our family spirit. The family are united in grief for the loss of a beautiful person."
The state has been forced into the arrangement to "avoid overloading its own power lines", according to the Los Angeles Times.
The situation doesn't necessarily mean we are "throwing money away", says economist Severin Borenstein, a professor at UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business.
"But it probably is an indication that there are some serious problems in the way we're running the grid and the way we're making investment decisions."
Why is this happening?
In 2015, California power plants generated about 15 times more electricity from solar sources than they did in 2010, according to the California Energy Commission.
And that doesn't include the thousands of individual solar panels installed in recent years.
The growth is thanks in part to laws that require half of the electricity sold to consumers to come from renewable energy sources by 2030.
About 60% of electricity generated in California came from natural gas in 2015.
Supply increased about 7% from 2010, after regulators - in part responding to a series of blackouts and energy problems in the early 2000s - approved more power plants.
The LA Times says California has a "glut of power".
Between 2010-15, residential energy consumption per capita in the US dipped.
Some experts say energy efficient light bulbs are one reason why.
California, where it tends to be warm and sunny, also has among the lowest per capita electricity consumption of any state in the country.
That is a problem. In extreme cases, production spikes can overwhelm power lines and end in power outages.
One response from grid operators has been to cut production from solar and wind producers, which they say are responsible for excess supply.
In 2016, about 1.6% of solar electricity generation was curtailed, according to the California Independent System Operator, which runs the state's electric grid and wholesale electricity market.
Renewable energy is sold using long-term contracts - and in real time on a regional wholesale market, where prices fluctuate based on supply and demand.
The price heads below zero on the wholesale market when there's too much supply. In those instances of "negative pricing" companies pay other firms to take their power.
Solar turns wholesale price of electricity in California negative
In some cases, a utility or other company has already paid for the power at a higher price but doesn't need it.
In other cases, it is more expensive for the solar power company to stop production than it is to pay a firm in another state to take the electricity because of how their tax benefits are structured.
The examples of negative pricing are rare but increasing. They occurred in more than 5% of five-minute market intervals in 2016, up from about 4% the year before, according to CAISO.
Yes. The growth of renewable energy has led to negative pricing in Texas, which has a lot of wind power, in the UK and other parts of Europe, including Germany.
Not really.
California households pay some of the highest electricity bills in the nation. Those reflect higher prices negotiated in the long term renewable contracts as well as fees assessed to pay for new gas and solar plants.
What's more, if utilities have to pay other firms to take their power, it cuts into profits - a cost that eventually gets passed on to ratepayers, says Professor Borenstein of the Haas School of Business.
Customers of utilities that get paid to take the power may be benefiting, according to the LA Times. And big companies with more flexible electricity packages may also be able to take advantage of the situation, says economist James Bushnell, a professor at UC Davis.
One option is to change the way tax subsidies for renewable energy work, so that firms don't have as much incentive to keep their plants running at full capacity when the power isn't needed.
Another option would be to make the retail market more flexible. Then families could opt to charge phones, electric cars and the like when electricity is cheapest.
"Economists for a really long time have said let's make retail rates reflect wholesale prices," says Lucas Davis, a professor at the Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley. "Now I think is a great time for economists to renew that push."
Energy consumption is changing and the growth of renewable energy, especially solar, has left the market in turmoil. Some hope investments will lead to technology that stores energy more effectively. But in the meantime negative prices are one sign of the ways the market is changing.
"All these things started when there were very small amounts of renewables," says Mr Bushnell of UC Davis. "The idea that we would have such a massive quantity that we would want to dump it, wasn't really thought through."
It is thought that one person has been injured in the incident, which occurred in the village of Helmsdale.
The alarm was raised at about 16:30 on Saturday.
Three fire crews from Helmsdale, Golspie and Dunbeath were sent to the scene.
Delegates from 70 nations are expected to reaffirm support for a two-state solution to the decades-old conflict.
Palestinians have welcomed the meeting but Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu - who is not attending - says the conference is "futile".
The last round of direct peace talks collapsed amid acrimony in April 2014.
Israel and the Palestinians have been invited to hear the conclusions of the meeting, but not to participate in the summit itself.
It comes at a time of tension between Israel and the international community after the UN passed a resolution last month denouncing Israel's settlement activity on occupied land.
Israel accused the Obama administration of engineering the motion and enabling it to pass by not using its power of veto in the UN Security Council.
The White House denied colluding to get the resolution passed.
Tensions have also risen over US President-elect Donald Trump's plans to move the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
The status of Jerusalem is one of the most sensitive and complex issues of the entire conflict. The Palestinians view East Jerusalem as the capital of their future state but Israel proclaim the entire city as its capital.
French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault told France 3 TV on Sunday he thought Mr Trump would not be able to make the move, but if he did, it would have "extremely serious consequences".
"One cannot have such a clear-cut, unilateral position. You have to create the conditions for peace."
Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas warned on Saturday that such a move could "bury the hopes for a two-state solution".
There is deep alarm among participants at the conference that if President Trump does break with decades of US policy and move the embassy to Jerusalem, then conditions will be set for another upsurge in violence in the region, says the BBC's Hugh Schofield in Paris.
In his speech to open the conference, French President Francois Hollande said the international community had to be reminded of its obligations to build peace.
"The naivety is to believe that the much-needed reconciliation between Israel and its neighbours can go forward without peace between the Israelis and Palestinians," he said.
"And the cynicism is to sink into the status quo, hoping the situation would find a natural solution as a result of all excesses."
The conference is being attended by the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, as well as key European and Arab states.
Attendees are expected to discuss a draft statement calling on Israel and the Palestinians "to officially restate their commitment to the two-state solution" and avoid taking "unilateral steps that prejudge the outcome of final status negotiations".
A "two-state solution" of a Palestinian country alongside Israel has long been endorsed by both sides but there are sharply divergent visions as to the type of state which should emerge.
Israel rejects international involvement in the peace process, saying an agreement can only come through direct talks.
Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu has called the Paris meeting "a rigged conference" which Israel would not be bound by.
Prior to the conference, the US State Department said Secretary of State John Kerry would attend to try to ensure "whatever happens in this conference is constructive and balanced".
Israel is concerned that the conference might set the terms for a final agreement and seek to get it adopted at the UN, a move it feels would undermine future negotiations.
Despite years of on-off peace talks, major differences still separate the two sides.
Palestinians fiercely object to Israeli settlement activity in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem, territory it wants for a future state.
The settlements, home to about 600,000 Israelis, are considered illegal under international law, though Israel disputes this.
Israel says Palestinian incitement and violence, and a refusal to accept Israel as a Jewish state, are key obstacles to peace.
Since independence from the UK in 1966, Guyana has seen tense relations between its citizens of African and Indians. Fierce political rivalry between the two main ethnically-based parties has led to recurring instability. Corruption too remains a chronic problem.
Most of the country is covered in tropical rainforest and despite having rich reserves of bauxite, gold and timber, it has struggled to overcome poverty and attract investment to bolster its small economy. A century-old border dispute with Venezuela has recently been revived after the discovery of offshore oil reserves.

President: David Granger
Retired army general David Granger beat incumbent President Donald Ramotar by a narrow margin in the May 2015 election, ending 23 years of rule by the Indian-dominated People's Progressive Party.
He forged a multi-ethnic coalition of his Afro-Guyanese Partnership for National Unity and the Alliance for Change, with a pledge to end the racial divisions that have dominated Guyana's politics since it gained independence in 1966.
"The time has come to end winner-take-all politics, corruption, nepotism and the squandering of our resources," he said.
Mr Granger's diverse career has included the military, journalism and politics. He has a degree in history and received military training in Nigeria, Brazil and the UK.
Guyanese newspapers are free to criticise the government, although journalists are apt to exercise self-censorship.
There were 295,200 internet users by November 2015 (via Internetworldstats).
Some key dates in Guyana's history:
1300s - Area is first inhabited by semi-nomadic Amerindian tribes, notably Warraus. Christopher Colombus sights Guyana in 1498.
1580 - The Dutch gain a foothold and set up trading posts. From 1620, the Dutch West India Company imports African slaves to work on its sugar plantations.
1780-1813 - Guyana changes hands between the Dutch, French and British.
1814 - Britain occupies Guyana during the Napoleonic Wars. By 1831, it is declared the Colony of British Guiana.
1834 - The abolition of slavery leads to indentured workers being brought in from India.
1889 - Venezuela lays claims to two-thirds of Guyana, west of the Essequibo river but international arbitration rules in favour of Guyana in 1899.
1953 - Britain suspends a new constitution and installs an interim administration after the Indo-Guyanese PPP party's success in the first free elections.
1960 - A new constitution provides full internal self-government but in 1964 a Labour revolt leads to racial strife and violent riots
1966 - Guyana gains independence from Britain
1978 - Jonestown massacre: Mass suicide by more than 900 members of the People's Temple religious sect led by Jim Jones.
2015 - Guyana's multiracial opposition coalition led by David Granger wins the general election ending the 23-year rule of the Indo-Guyanese PPP party.
Turnover was down from £203m to £199m, which the Newry firm said reflected exchange rate movements.
The company said it anticipated further growth in key markets as it launches new products this year.
Employment was up during the year and Norbrook now employs more than 2,000 people.
The business is owned by the family of the late Lord Ballyedmond.
During the year they appointed Liam Nagle as the firm's new chief executive.
Mr Nagle is an experienced corporate manager who ran the Dublin-based Sisk Group, one of the largest privately owned companies in Ireland.
The management of the business was also reinforced by the appointment of Richard Palmer who previously held a senior role at Novartis, the multi-national pharmaceutical group.
Mr Nagle said the results were in line with expectations and there is "a strong pipeline of new products under development".
Norbrook specialises in the development and manufacture of veterinary and animal health medicines.
It is one of Northern Ireland's biggest exporters and has doubled its sales over the past seven years.
A seven-year-old boy, who was hit by a falling sign, was among those needing medical attention.
North West Ambulance Service (NWAS) said none of the injuries appeared to be life-threatening.
Storm Doris has caused serious problems across the region with roads shut, rail lines blocked, flights cancelled and shipping operations curtailed.
The seven-year-old was hit by a sign which flew off a building on Old Street in Ashton-Under-Lyne.
In Merseyside, a man, in his 60s, suffered back and pelvic injuries after a tree fell in Crosby and a woman was injured when her car was hit by a falling tree in Huyton, NWAS said.
A man on Carr Lane in Wigan was hit by some fencing and six others were injured after being blown off over.
Cheshire Police said it had received an "unprecedented" amount of calls.
The force said it had responded to more than 500 incidents relating to the storm including fallen trees and damage to buildings which had caused "significant debris" on the county's roads.
Attractions including Chester Zoo and Jodrell Bank were forced to close for the day.
Filming on the set of Coronation Street in Salford had to be rescheduled after "worsening weather conditions made outdoor scenes impossible", a spokeswoman for the ITV soap said.
An evening performance by Gerry Marsden at the Floral Pavilion in New Brighton was also cancelled after part of the theatre roof was damaged.
Travel around the region affected:
Electricity North West said about 7,500 homes were left without electricity due to the storms.
Power has since been restored to 5,000 homes and work is being carried out to restore supplies to the remainder.
More than 400 homes were affected in Cheshire after high winds damaged an overhead power cable in Poynton and 219 homes in Lower Withington near Macclesfield also suffered blackouts.
In Lancashire, 154 properties in Longridge were without supplies and 256 homes in Horwich, Bolton were affected.
Part of Devonshire Road in Blackpool is closed after the roof of a Lidl store, which is currently under construction, blew off.
In addition to the high winds, there are two flood alerts in operation in Lancashire - on Earby beck and on the River Calder upper catchment.
The Met Office have rebranded Doris a "weather bomb" after the system underwent what is called "explosive cyclogenesis".
Austria based Patson Daka put on a match-winning performance as he picked up a split pass before slotting the ball in the net in the 48th minute.
Daka, who stars for FC Liefering, had been tormenting the Guinea backline for the better part of the first half but had to wait until the second half to get his reward.
The hosts started on a fast-paced note that saw Zambia register the first threat as early as the second minute when Mohammed Camara appeared to trip Daka although no foul was given.
The urgency shown by the Zambians suggested they would score an early goal but the Guineans stood resolute at the back to repel the rampaging - though wasteful - junior Chipolopolo.
Daka was back on the frontline after Boyd Musonda set him up in the ninth minute but the Burkina Faso referee Juste Zio flagged him offside.
As the hosts pushed themselves, Guinea were comfortable soaking up the pressure.
Guinea were forced to defend yet again when Musonda failed to make the most of an inviting ball which ran across the face of goal only to be swept away by Camara.
The clearest opportunity for Zambia fell to Enock Mwepu whose header went skywards from a corner.
Coach Beston Chambeshi was getting impatient with his forwards and surprisingly threw in Emmanuel Banda for Conlyde Luchanga with two minutes to go to half time.
The two sides went into the break locked at 0-0, but the Zambians came back stronger.
They fired successive shots at the Guinea goal in the first three minutes of second half before finally getting their goal through Daka.
Guinea almost equalised in the 52nd minute when Momo Yassane's head tested Mangani's reflexes, but the hosts held on to record an opening victory.
Zambia will next face Mali on Wednesday.
Egypt and Mali drew 0-0 in the other Group A match on Sunday which means Zambia are early group leaders after the first round of games.
In Group B, Senegal will play Sudan while Cameroon will lock horns with South Africa on Monday.
All four semi-finalists will also qualify for the Fifa Youth World Cup in South Korea in May.
As her son clocked up his 500th career win, she said there is a "massive, massive opportunity" to grow the game in Scotland.
And after a hugely successful Davis Cup match in Glasgow, she wants to make the most of the game's popularity.
"But it needs to be done now," she said.
Speaking at a tennis road show in Dumfries, Ms Murray said: "I think there's a huge opportunity to grow the game in Scotland. There has been for five or six years now.
"Andy's been in the top five for about seven years and obviously has his grand slam titles, Jamie has a grand slam title. They are both playing Davis Cup - there was a huge atmosphere for the GB-USA Davis Cup match a few weeks ago."
She added: "There's no point in trying to provide a legacy after everything over, you have to start now.
"Andy is 27. He's still got a few years left in him I'm sure, but you never know at what point he's going to retire and when he retires I want to make sure the game is in good shape for the long term."
Jamie Murray, a doubles specialist, has previously spoken of his concern that there will be no legacy in Scotland when his brother retires.
The 2007 Wimbledon mixed doubles champion said the scenario would be a "tragedy" because many youngsters would like to play.
Ms Murray has been taking part in two days of Tennis on the Road sessions with young people in Dumfries and Galloway.
The events at schools across the region show parents, teachers and students how to deliver tennis lessons to children and adults.
She said: "What we are trying to do is build a workforce of people to create activity so that anyone who want to try it has a place to start."
Rachel Fee is on trial alongside her civil partner Nyomi Fee, accused of killing toddler Liam in March 2014.
Ms Fee told a jury she was not thinking rationally when she failed to get Liam help for a broken leg he had suffered the week before he died.
The couple blame that injury, and Liam's death, on another boy.
Rachel Fee said she feared Liam would be taken off her if she had taken him to hospital, admitting the toddler would still be alive if she had sought help for him.
Nyomi Fee, 28, and Rachel Fee, 31, deny killing the two-year-old at a house near Glenrothes in Fife on 22 March 2014, by repeatedly inflicting "blunt force trauma" to his head and body.
They also face charges they neglected Liam and abused two other children.
The pair blame one of the other children in their care for killing Liam.
The women, who are both originally from Ryton, Tyne and Wear, deny all the charges against them.
Giving evidence in her own defence, Rachel Fee said she would regret for the rest of her life her decision not to get emergency medical help for her two-year-old son's broken leg.
Under cross examination, the 31-year-old admitted that she had even threatened to leave her co-accused Nyomi Fee if she called an ambulance for the toddler.
Advocate depute Alex Prentice, prosecuting, suggested she had put her own interests before those of her child.
He asked her: "How does that square with rights, duties and responsibilities of a mother you told us about earlier?"
She answered: "I completely failed Liam."
Mr Prentice told her that little Liam must have been in "excruciating pain" with a broken thigh bone.
Earlier, Ms Fee admitted that she repeatedly searched Google to find out if a broken bone could cause death and if married lesbians could share a cell if they were jailed for neglect.
She told the court she felt "really bad" that she had spent about three hours on the day Liam died at riding stables looking after her horse.
She came home at about 18:20 to have drinks and a takeaway meal with Nyomi.
Rachel Fee told how she heard Nyomi shouting her name repeatedly from Liam's bedroom and ran in to see her son "all white" being lifted out of his buggy by her partner.
Her defence QC Brian McConnachie asked her: "Can you remember how you reacted?" she said: "Yes. I think I fell to the floor. He wasn't breathing."
She said she went to the hallway where the other child was and he put his head down.
She said: "I knew by the look on his face he'd done something. Just done something.
"I was feeing completely distraught, devastated. I didn't know what was happening, didn't know what to do - so many different emotions."
She said she was aware that her son was not breathing and asked the older child what he had done.
Ms Fee told the court: "I said: 'You've strangled him or suffocated him haven't you?' and he said: 'Yes'."
Rachel Fee denied the prosecution's claim that she and Nyomi had delayed calling the ambulance to allow them to hide a makeshift cage in which they allegedly imprisoned one of two older children they were looking after.
She told the jury that the boy she accused of strangling Liam had been responsible for sexually assaulting the toddler, giving him a head injury and breaking his leg.
She claimed she did nothing about the alleged assaults because she was scared social services would take the children away from her.
Ms Fee also denied the allegations from the other children of abuse spanning a two-year period.
She denied forcing them to take cold showers as punishment for wetting the bed, tying one in a cage and tying the other to a chair at night in a room full of pet rats and snakes.
The trial at the High Court in Livingston continues.
The 65-year-old was found with serious injuries in Ardbeg Street on Saturday night.
He was taken to the Victoria infirmary but later died from his wounds.
A spokeswoman for Police Scotland said officers were following a "positive line of inquiry".
Born in Crowborough, East Sussex, Dr Sellers began working for the US space agency as a scientist in 1982 before joining its astronaut corps in 1996.
The climate expert made three Space Shuttle flights to the International Space Station, between 2002 and 2010.
Nasa said Dr Sellers, who was diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer in 2015, died in Houston on Friday.
British astronaut Tim Peake - who completed a six-month mission on the International Space Station in June - tweeted that he was "saddened to hear the loss" of Dr Sellers, and added he was a "true inspiration".
Dr Sellers became a naturalised US citizen in 1991, making him eligible for the space programme.
In January this year, he wrote a op-ed article for the New York Times about grappling with the meaning of the earth's fragility after learning he had terminal cancer.
He later shared an astronaut's perspective on climate change in Leonardo DiCaprio's documentary, Before the Flood.
When given a terminal cancer diagnosis, many people draw up a "bucket list" - a series of places or activities they want to experience before they die. Piers rejected such an idea; he simply wanted to keep on working at his job for as long as he could. After all, that job had already afforded him the opportunity to do and see things most others could only dream of.
Ever thoughtful, supremely engaging - it was always a pleasure to talk to him, whether that was about his passion for Earth science or the exhilaration he felt doing a spacewalk (his six spacewalks are the most to be completed by any Briton).
Having left Britain to become a US citizen in order to pursue his ambition of being an astronaut, you might think he had left thoughts of his country of birth far behind. But whenever we spoke by phone there was always a long preamble in which he would first want to hear news of the UK, its people and politics.
We use trite sayings on such occasions like "he had a great innings" - and he did. But with Piers there was a sense also that he was at the start of something big with his newfound voice in climate advocacy. Very definitely there was some unfinished business, and I strongly urge you to read his extraordinary op-ed article in the New York Times last January.
In a statement, Nasa administrator Charles Bolden paid tribute to Dr Sellers, the deputy director of the agency's sciences and exploration division in Greenbelt, Maryland.
"Piers was dedicated to all facets of exploration," he said.
"His curiosity and drive to uncover new knowledge was generously shared with audiences around the world, both from space and in wide travels to reach as many people as possible with an essential understanding of our fragile planet."
Many of the scientist's former colleagues have paid tribute to Dr Sellers online.
US astronaut Garrett Reisman - who flew with Dr Sellers on a 2010 Atlantis Space Shuttle mission - shared a picture of the pair on the International Space Station.
He wrote that the Edinburgh-educated scientist "was the best of us".
Former ISS assembly manager Beth Moses shared a picture of Dr Sellers on a spacewalk in 2002, when he helped install trusses on to the space station, and added the scientist was filled with "eternal optimism and laughter".
Dr Sellers earned a degree in ecology from the University of Edinburgh and a doctorate in biometeorology from the University of Leeds before moving to the US.
University of Leeds Vice-Chancellor Sir Alan Langlands said: "He cared deeply about our fragile planet and the people who inhabit it - his outstanding work and our fond memories of him will continue to inspire future generations."
In 2002, Dr Sellers became only the third Briton to go into space - after Helen Sharman and Michael Foale - when he completed an 11-day mission to the International Space Station.
His journey aboard the shuttle Atlantis saw him carry out three spacewalks to help continue the assembly of the ISS.
Dr Sellers's next flight was aboard Discovery in 2006, a mission designed to test improved safety measures following the 2003 Columbia disaster, in which seven astronauts died.
In May 2010, Dr Sellers boarded Atlantis for a second time to deliver a Russian-built module to the space station.
In total, he logged hundreds of hours in space on his three shuttle flights, including six spacewalks, according to his Nasa biography.
In 2011, he was appointed an OBE in the Queen's New Year's Honours List.
In July this year, Dr Sellers was awarded Nasa's Distinguished Service Medal, the agency's highest honour.
He will be joined by Austin MacPhee, the Northern Ireland assistant coach.
The 30-year-old Cathro has signed a three-and-a-half-year deal at Tynecastle and will take charge of Saturday's Scottish Premiership match at Rangers.
He replaces Robbie Neilson, who left last week to take over at MK Dons, along with assistant Stevie Crawford.
New assistant MacPhee, 37, had been in contention for the role of Performance Director at the Scottish Football Association, but has elected to join Cathro at Tynecastle.
He will continue to be a member of Northern Ireland manager Michael O'Neill's backroom staff, combining that role with his new position at Hearts.
Cathro had been an assistant coach at St James' Park since June 2015, serving Steve McClaren and then Rafa Benitez.
"This is a step I've wanted to take, one I've prepared for and I think the circumstances are perfect," he told Hearts TV.
"What will the fans get? A team that wants to win. A team that when the first whistle goes - irrespective of the circumstances, the opponent, home, away, rain, sun, no matter what - when the first whistle goes we will expect to win.
"And we will work to find a way in which we believe that we can win.
"We're going to want to use the ball, we're going to want to be incredibly energetic, we'll want to attack and score goals. We want to be aggressive and be as close to the opponent's goal as we possibly can.
"We'll make it an exciting place to come. Will it always be perfect? No it won't. But everybody will be at maximum all the time. It could be an enjoyable ride."
During his time as manager of Dundee United, Hearts director of football Craig Levein employed Cathro as a youth coach.
Cathro worked with the academy at Tannadice for four years before a move to Portugal with Rio Ave, where he was assistant to manager Nuno Espirito Santo.
The duo then moved to Valencia, steering them to a fourth place finish in La Liga before Cathro returned to the UK with Newcastle.
"We are delighted to have secured the services of Ian Cathro and are confident he is the ideal candidate to take our club forward," said chairwoman Ann Budge.
"He is widely regarded as one of the brightest young coaches in the game and has amassed a great deal of experience both at home and abroad.
"He may only be 30 years of age but we are convinced that he has all the tools required to be a successful head coach."
Hearts sit third in the Scottish Premiership after Saturday's 2-2 draw at Ross County, two points behind Rangers.
Benitez will not move to replace Cathro immediately, with the Newcastle boss saying: "I would like to wish Ian the very best success with his first head coach role.
"When a coach has the opportunity and the desire to progress his career in management, it is always very important to allow them the freedom to move on and develop themselves."

The employers' organisation is warning that a skills shortage is "threatening to starve economic growth".
"Firms are facing a skills emergency now," said CBI deputy director-general Katja Hall.
In the Budget, the government announced a levy on large employers to fund new apprenticeships.
"By developing the skills of young people, businesses can boost their productivity, employees can harness their talent and we can reach our potential as world beaters," said Skills Minister Nick Boles of the plans for a training levy.
The annual CBI/ Pearson Education and Skills survey, based on 310 firms employing 1.2 million people in the UK, showed that more than two-thirds of businesses are expected to need more high-skilled staff.
But more than half feared they would not be able to find enough staff with the required skills.
"The government has set out its stall to create a high-skilled economy, but firms are facing a skills emergency now, threatening to starve economic growth," said Ms Hall.
"Worryingly, it's those high-growth, high-value sectors with the most potential which are the ones under most pressure. That includes construction, manufacturing, science, engineering and technology.
"The new levy announced in the Budget may guarantee funding for more apprenticeships, but it's unlikely to equate to higher quality or deliver the skills that industry needs. Levies on training already exist in the construction sector where two-thirds of employers are already reporting skills shortages."
The survey also highlighted concerns about the need for better careers advice to help young people understand more about the jobs likely to be available.
More than three-quarters of firms are not satisfied with the careers advice for pupils in school, according to the survey.
"How can young people decide what type of work they want to do in the future - when the careers advice they receive is simply not up to scratch?", said CBI director-general John Cridland.
Mr Cridland recently set out a series of proposals for how employers would like to change the education system in England.
It included scrapping GCSEs and putting more emphasis on vocational skills at A-level.
The annual survey found almost a third of employers had arranged remedial classes to help recruits with basic skills.
More than a third of employers had found problems with the literacy and numeracy skills of school leavers. Almost half had concerns about a lack of communication skills.
There was also a demand from industry for better language skills.
Rod Bristow, UK president of education firm Pearson, said the survey showed that firms were struggling to find enough staff with the necessary science, technology, engineering and maths skills.
"Better skills are not only the lifeblood of the UK economy - as fundamental to British business as improving our infrastructure, technology and transport links - they are also critical to improving young people's life chances, of enabling them to be a success in life and work."
Mr Bristow said the further education sector was a vital part of teaching technical skills, but it "sits on the edge of a funding precipice".
Last week's Budget set out the government's plan to create a further three million apprenticeships.
There would be "an apprenticeship levy on all large firms", Chancellor George Osborne announced.
"While many firms do a brilliant job training their workforces, there are too many large companies who leave the training to others and take a free ride on the system," said Mr Osborne.
A BIS spokesperson said: "The apprenticeship levy puts employers back in the driving seat; they are now in charge of how apprenticeship budgets are spent and they can build the skills base they need for their future success.
"Investing in apprenticeships means young people will have the skills they need, giving them the very best chance to succeed in today's labour market."
Labour's shadow skills minister Liam Byrne said: "This is a stark warning from British business about the government's plans for skills.
"Once again the Tories have opted to merely pay lip service to our growing skills crisis rather than focus on what business needs - high quality and specific skills provision to drive our knowledge economy."

The 30-year-old Portugal forward scored his 324th Real goal in 310 games to overtake Raul's record.
The club had already considered Ronaldo the record holder as they credit him with a goal deflected off Pepe in 2010.
Ronaldo's official record-breaking strike came after an hour from just outside the box - either side of goals from Marcelo and Jese.
After scoring twice in a 2-0 win over Malmo last month, Real held a presentation to give Ronaldo a trophy for breaking the record.
The discrepancy dates back to 2010 when a Ronaldo free-kick was deflected in by Pepe.
La Liga considered it a Pepe goal but Real deemed it Ronaldo's - and hence have credited him with various scoring landmarks one strike before anyone else.
New York Cosmos striker Raul, who is retiring in November, was Real's record goalscorer, but took 741 games to score his 323 goals.
Wales forward Gareth Bale was substituted off at half-time of the Levante game for Lucas Vazquez as Real went top of the table.

These investors want the world's biggest publicly traded oil company to support the goal of a 2C global temperature limit.
Exxon Mobil is also being investigated for potential fraud by withholding information on the role of fossil fuels in driving up temperatures.
The company says that the shareholder resolutions are unnecessary, while the investigations by several states are "politically motivated."
For around a quarter of a century, a varied collection of climate activists and institutions concerned about rising temperatures have attempted to get Exxon Mobil to move forward on the issue of climate change.
This year, they believe the coalition attempting to force change on the issue, is the strongest ever assembled. Investors with at least $8tn under management have indicated they will support greater recognition of the climate change issue.
At the AGM here in Dallas, the company faces resolutions including one to appoint a board member who has a high degree of climate expertise.
One motion asks the company to support the goal of limiting warming to below 2 degrees in line with the Paris climate agreement. Another asks Exxon to disclose how resilient its investments would be if policy measures to restrict warming to 2 degrees were implemented.
This motion has a number of supporters including the Norwegian government's pension fund, the world's largest.
It's being co-sponsored by the Church Commissioners, who manage the Church of England's investment fund.
Their head of responsible investment says the board of Exxon Mobil should now recognise the new realities.
"It's a moment where Exxon really has to recognise that the world is changing," Edward Mason told BBC News.
"Climate change is real, the transition to a low carbon economy is real, and they need to get on board with this."
The shareholders' hopes of success have been boosted by a number of factors, including a growing number of institutional investors Schroders, AXA and Legal and General which have supported the proposal. They are also backed by the largest pension fund in the US, CalPERS.
The world's leading advisers to proxy voters, ISS and Glass Lewis, have also come out in favour of the resolution on climate risk disclosure. A group of 1,000 academics from leading institutions have written to support the resolutions.
Shareholder pressure has also been successful at other large oil companies, with BP and Shell both accepting resolutions to routinely report on their asset portfolio's resilience to climate change.
The board of Exxon Mobil are resolutely opposed to the motions on increased cognisance of climate change issues.
While the climate resolutions are non-binding on the company, many believe that if they are supported by a majority of shareholders, Exxon Mobil will have to make significant changes.
"I think they will have to change or die because you are going to get nation states demanding that they change," said Capuchin priest Fr Michael Crosby who has been attempting to get Exxon Mobil to change on this issue for 19 years.
Exxon can trace its origins back to 1870 when John D Rockefeller created the Standard Oil Company .
Exxon and Mobil merged in 1999 in a deal valued around $80bn. The combined value of the company in 2015 was $353bn, making it the world's most valuable, publicly traded oil company.
The company employs around 75,000 around the world.
The oil spill from the Exxon Valdez tanker in Alaska in 1989 was the biggest in US history until Deepwater Horizon in 2010.
In 2016, the Rockefeller foundation said it would eliminate its holdings in Exxon, saying the company had misled the public over climate change.
"The countries where they operate are going to say you can't do what you're doing and will tax them out of existence or what ever."
Exxon says that climate change is a "very real" issue for the company but believes the shareholders' resolutions are unnecessary. They say that since 2007 they have included a proxy price for carbon in all their forecasts, which essentially means they have been factoring in a likely cost of more restrictive CO2 policies.
"I think the 'change or die' comments are a little dramatic, Exxon Mobil spokesman Alan Jeffers told BBC News.
"The issue is an important one, climate change presents very real risks that need to be managed but so do energy requirements of the modern economy. So we see that as a dual challenge to continue to provide that energy that all of us depend on while also managing the risks of climate change."
As well as dealing with shareholder activism on the issue of climate change, Exxon is also facing a number of legal challenges on the same issue.
Over the last year though, a number of journalistic investigations have raised questions about when Exxon's researchers first knew about climate change and how much information they passed on to shareholders and the general public.
Attorneys General from New York, Massachusetts, California and the US Virgin Islands have launched investigations into Exxon to determine if they acted fraudulently.
The Virgin Islands investigation has particularly irked the company as it seeks to uncover links between Exxon and private organisations that may have been used to spread doubt about climate science, including the Competitive Enterprise Institute.
"If a company knew that climate posed serious risks but nonetheless sought to convince large numbers of consumers and investors that those risks were overstated, I think that is a serious matter for investigation," Carroll Muffett from the Centre for International Environmental Law.
"The reality facing the oil industry is that their situation is looking increasingly like the situation of the tobacco companies - and as much as they like to claim there are no parallels, there is more and more information coming to light that says there are parallels and they are real."
Exxon Mobil and their supporters have come out fighting on this question, decrying the investigations as an attack on freedom of speech.
"There is a pretty defined strategy to go back and try to paint us as some sort of big tobacco and we categorically reject that and it does not stand up to independent scrutiny," said Alan Jeffers, from Exxon.
The Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said that the Virgin Islands investigation was "ridiculous", and said it was an "effort to punish Exxon for daring to hold an opinion on climate change that differs from that of radical environmentalists".

Officers said a 43-year-old had been picked up in a car and driven to Century Mill in Farnworth, Bolton at about 12:00 BST on Friday.
He was attacked by a group of men, police said, before being returned to Masefield Drive with serious injuries. He died four days later in hospital.
A 28-year-old man remains in custody for questioning.
Det Insp Cheryl Hughes, from Greater Manchester Police, appealed for information, adding: "We are determined to bring these violent criminals to justice.
"This incident happened in broad daylight - the offenders picked the victim up and then returned him with serious injuries to a residential area - so someone must have seen something."
The outgoing tenant of the flat in Walthamstow, east London, was testing the motion-activated camera, which he intended to use in his new home.
Jon Charter said it felt like "a complete betrayal".
Your Move Sterling & Co said the employee in question no longer worked for them.
The footage, recorded on Friday, shows a viewer walking ahead of the agent, who is at the door of the room where the camera is placed.
The agent is then seen coming back into the room, taking the bar of chocolate and putting it in his coat pocket.
Mr Charter said: "I set up the camera so that they would all be working when we moved to our new house.
"I got alerted by email that there was movement and sound in my flat and it starts recording remotely straight away.
"I then started to watch this and saw the theft. I felt it was a complete betrayal and wondered what else could have happened to others and myself previously."
He said the agent later apologised via text message, claiming that he had been suffering from dizziness and needed the sugar in the chocolate bar.
Manish Somani, director of Your Move Sterling & Co said: "We are very serious about the protection of our reputation and brand.
"Therefore as soon as we were made aware of this incident action was taken and the employee is no longer working for us.
"We have also apologised to both the tenant and landlord for this unfortunate incident. The landlord has fully accepted this apology and the tenant has accepted a payment as a goodwill gesture for both the chocolate bar and any inconvenience caused."
Two men have been arrested over the blast which happened at Bridge Point on Ardleigh Green Road in Hornchurch shortly after 17:00 GMT on Monday.
Firefighters said they had rescued 25 people as residents were evacuated from the building.
The arrested men, who both required hospital treatment, are being held on suspicion of arson.
London Ambulance Service said four people had been treated at the scene and taken to hospital, while a woman and a child trapped on the building's second floor had escaped down a fire brigade ladder.
A Havering Council spokesman said the explosion had happened in a ground-floor flat.
He said 41 properties had been evacuated and most residents went to a local McDonald's restaurant while alternative accommodation was found.
London Fire Brigade station manager Paul McClenaghan said: "Crews worked hard to get the fire under control and are now making efforts to ensure the structure of the building is safe.
"Firefighters will remain at the scene damping down any remaining pockets of fire for some time."
Police said road closures were in place and people were advised to avoid the area.
An agreement has been made to include them and Afghanistan in future plans.
At the meeting, the ICC also agreed the principle of a nine-team Test league, to be run over a two-year cycle, probably starting after the 2019 World Cup.
Decisions will be made at the next ICC board meeting in April.
In addition, after the controversy of the recent India-England series, the ICC has agreed in principle to use the decision review system in televised World Twenty20 matches from October.
The ICC has been discussing ways to revamp the Test structure for some time.
It is unclear if Ireland and Afghanistan would be able to play Tests straight away or would have to wait for the new structure of Test cricket to begin.
Ireland made their one-day international debut in June 2006 when they played England, while Afghanistan's maiden ODI was three years later.
Afghanistan's domestic four-day and Twenty20 competitions have now been granted first-class and List A status respectively, four months after Ireland's Inter-Provincial Championship became the first domestic event outside a Test-playing country to earn first-class status.

The dogs and their owners performed a variety of dance styles at the competition.
Alex Weber, the organiser of the event, explains how it works.
The Institute of Customer Service ranked 245 organisations from various sectors on factors such as staff professionalism and complaint handling.
Amazon topped the list followed by the online bank First Direct, retailer John Lewis and tour firm Jet2holidays.com.
Aldi came seventh overall, up from 34th place last July.
Waitrose and Marks & Spencer ranked 13th and 14th, having been the highest-scoring supermarkets last year at joint third place.
According to the research, which has been published every year since 2008, Aldi scored well because of its competitive pricing and handling of customer complaints.
Researchers noted the German discounter had made the biggest gains among the supermarkets in terms of market share, while the three supermarkets with the lowest customer service scores - Tesco, Asda and Co-op Food - saw small drops in market share.
Elsewhere, the survey found that eight of the 20 most improved organisations were utilities companies.
The biggest improvement came from train operator London Midland, which scored 80.3 out of 100, up 9.1 points since last year.
Overall, customer satisfaction averaged at 78.2 out of 100, an increase of 0.8 points.
Jo Causon, head of the Institute of Customer Service, said: "For customer satisfaction to continue on this upward trajectory, organisations need to focus on the way they deliver a quality customer experience.
"They also need to look at the way they tailor what they do to individual customer preferences and the way they analyse problems to eliminate them at source."
But Health Minister Lesley Griffiths confirmed a campaign will run about the effects of second-hand smoke in cars.
An action plan to reduce the harm caused by smoking also includes moves to ban smoking on NHS premises and in children's playgrounds.
David Bowden, from The Institute of Ideas, said any ban would not be right.
Ms Griffiths rejected calls from Plaid Cymru to bring in rules sooner to make smoking in cars carrying children illegal.
But the minister said the Welsh government will launch a three-year education campaign about the effects of second-hand smoke in cars.
Ms Griffiths said the government will "consider bringing forward legislation," if evidence shows the campaign fails to achieve a significant reduction in exposure to second-hand smoke.
David Bowden, from the civil liberties think-tank The Institute of Ideas, said most people were aware of the dangers of smoking.
But he said it was not right for governments to decide to ban smoking in playgrounds and in cars.
"We either give individuals the choice to make their own moral responsibility to have bad habits which the government may not approve of, or we don't at all," he told BBC Radio Wales.
Professor Laurence Moore, a director at Decipher, a public health research centre of excellence at Cardiff University, said: "If the government can take firm action it can really help to encourage people not to take up smoking."
A bomb disposal team from RAF Wittering blew up the device after it was discovered on the beach at Gunton Cliff, Lowestoft, Suffolk.
The beach has been re-opened after it was sealed off when the explosive was unearthed by a metal detectorist, at about 05:30 BST.
A police spokesman said experts carried out the explosion "at the scene".
"Ordnance being washed up on the beach is not unheard of," he said.
A spokesman from RAF Wittering, in Cambridgeshire, said the device was a Mills grenade, "commonly known as a pineapple bomb".
No other explosives were believed to have been found at the site.
The explosion was carried out just after 11:00 BST and the squad left just before midday.
A couple of bad nights is enough to make a person look "significantly" more ugly, their sleep experiments suggest.
Dark-circled "panda" eyes and puffy lids can even put others off socialising with you, they say.
People were rated by strangers as less healthy and approachable when they had tired faces.
The researchers asked 25 university students, some male and some female, to be the guinea pigs in their sleep experiment.
The volunteers - who were given payment for their help - were sent home with a kit that would measure their night-time movements to check that they had not cheated and slept when they should not have.
They were asked to get a good night's sleep for two consecutive nights.
A week later, they were asked to restrict themselves to only four hours sleep per night for two nights in a row.
The researchers took make-up free photos of the volunteers after both the good and the bad sleep sessions.
Next, they asked 122 strangers - women and men living in Sweden's capital city, Stockholm - to have a look at the photos and rate them on attractiveness, health, sleepiness and trustworthiness, as well as asking them: "How much would you like to socialise with this person in the picture?"
The strangers were good at judging if the person they were looking at was tired, and, if they were sleepy, their attractiveness score suffered.
The strangers also said they would be less willing to socialise with the tired students, who they also perceived to be less healthy, Royal Society Open Science journal reports.
The Karolinska Institute researchers says this makes sense in evolutionary terms.
"An unhealthy-looking face, whether due to sleep deprivation or otherwise, might activate disease-avoiding mechanisms in others."
In other words, people don't want to hang around with people who might be ill, whereas someone who looks energetic and fit will hold lots of appeal.
Lead researcher Dr Tina Sundelin added: "I don't want to worry people or make them lose sleep over these findings though.
"Most people can cope just fine if they miss out on a bit of sleep now and again."
Dr Gayle Brewer, a psychology expert at the University of Liverpool and member of the British Psychological Association, said: "Judgement of attractiveness is often unconscious, but we all do it, and we are able to pick up on even small cues like whether someone looks tired or unhealthy.
"We want our partners to be attractive and energetic.
"This study is a good reminder of how important sleep is to us."

The building, amid six acres (2.4 hectare) of graves at Stroud Cemetery, is being sold by the district council.
Stroud Town Council has been given "first refusal" on the building, estimated to be worth about £150,000.
Mayor Kevin Cranston said they were starting a "quick feasibility study into what we could do with it".
Built in the 1850s, the twin chapels linked by a tower and arch were developed along with the cemetery after the town's overcrowded burial grounds became a health threat.
"It's quite a beautiful building - there were two chapels, one for Church of England and the other for others," Mr Cranston said.
"Everybody - apparently - came through the arch as the bell tolled and went left or right depending on their denomination.
"Then they rested in the chapel overnight and the following day they'd be taken off to their burial."
The chapel, now used by the cemetery's maintenance team to store tools and equipment, will be bought by the town council if a suitable purpose can be found.
"We can't take out a massive mortgage on a building just to use it as a tool shed," said Mr Cranston.
"We've had ideas like turning it into a cafe, a community centre or convert it into quirky holiday accommodation - we could probably charge more at Halloween.
"But really we're open to suggestions but they do have to be financially viable and sustainable."
School worker James Moran is alleged to have carried out the attack at a primary school in the south of the city.
The 32-year-old, from Dalmarnock, Glasgow, appeared in private from custody at Glasgow Sheriff Court.
He was represented by defence lawyer Bill McCluskey who made no plea on Mr Moran's behalf.
Papers from the court claim Mr Moran abducted the child on 2 May and led her to a store cupboard where he removed her clothing and took a photograph of her.
He was remanded in custody and will appear again next week for a full committal hearing. | People in Hampshire, Isle of Wight and Dorset will be able to learn more about a controversial £3bn offshore wind farm at local drop-in sessions.

EU lawmakers backed the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (Ceta) by 408-254 votes despite crowds of protesters contesting the deal outside.
It means parts of the deal, such as tariff reduction, will come into force eight years after negotiations began.
But other, more controversial aspects of the deal, such as the investor court system, will require ratification by EU member states which could take years.
What is Ceta?
Reality Check: Would Canada's deal with the EU be a good model for the UK?
There were chaotic scenes outside the parliament building in Strasbourg as protesters blocked access ahead of the vote - only to be dragged off by riot police.
The vote was comfortably, though not overwhelmingly, passed, with 33 members of parliament abstaining. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will address the parliament on Thursday.

€500 million
The estimated amount that EU exporters would save in duties annually
3.6m The population of Wallonia
36.3m The population of Canada
508m The population of the EU
Ceta will see the removal of 99% of non-farm duties between the EU's market of 500 million people and Canada's 35 million - trade worth €63.5bn ($67bn; £54bn) in 2015. That will boost growth and jobs on both sides of the Atlantic, supporters say.
But the deal has been extremely divisive, says the BBC's Europe reporter Gavin Lee - it's triggered many demonstrations across Europe, with critics arguing it will erode labour laws, environmental standards and allow multinational companies to dictate public policy.
Ceta's future was put in temporary doubt last October, when after seven years of talks the small Belgian region of Wallonia vetoed the deal until an addendum was added addressing concerns over the rights of farmers and governments.
The future of the global trade system has also been thrown into question by the election of US President Donald Trump - who has withdrawn from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and wants to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement (Nafta).
The result was celebrated by backers of the deal - including Jyrki Katainen, European Commission vice-president for jobs, growth, investment and competitiveness.
But opponents - such as Guido Tallman, a campaigner for the UK group Global Justice UK - pointed out that its full implementation would require ratification by dozens of regional and national parliaments.
She is thought to have recently returned from West Africa and presented at St George's Hospital with a fever on Sunday evening.
UK officials have tested some 160 people for the virus since June - all have been negative.
Public Health England (PHE) says the risk to the UK is extremely low.
Ebola can only be spread through close contact with the bodily fluids (for example blood, vomit and faeces) of an infected person.
A PHE spokeswoman said: "It is important to remember that as yet, there has not been a case of Ebola diagnosed in the UK and the infection can only be transmitted through contact with the bodily fluids - such as blood, vomit or faeces - of an infected person.
"We have advised all front line medical practitioners and NHS call handlers to be alert to signs and symptoms of Ebola in those returning from affected areas and following such advice we would expect to see an increase in testing."
A spokesperson from St George's Healthcare NHS Trust said: "In line with national guidance the patient was moved to our clinical infections unit and underwent a series of tests, as a precaution one of which was for Ebola.
"The outcome of the Ebola test result is negative.
"We can confirm that the patient will remain at St George's Hospital.
"All appropriate actions have been taken by our staff to protect the public and the patient."
Volunteer nurse William Pooley was the first Briton to contract the disease during this outbreak while working in Sierra Leone.

The 22-year-old scored an unbeaten 140 as the Red Rose drew their opening County Championship match at Essex.
He had spent 11 months out of the game with a knee problem that required an operation last season.
"There were a couple of dark moments during that time," Davies told BBC Radio Lancashire.
"You have to stay positive and have belief in your own ability, belief that you will get back fit and you will get back playing.
"It was tough to watch Lancashire last season and see people move ahead of me, but I had that belief deep down.
"This (first century) was really amazing and it's good to get it off my back really. I've had a lot of chances in the past and not quite got over the line."
Striker Marquis gave Doncaster a seventh-minute lead when he latched onto a long ball down the middle and rounded David Forde to slot into an empty goal.
It was the third home game in a row in which Pompey had fallen behind and Williams cleverly clipped over his shoulder to double the lead.
Pompey hit back hard and Carl Baker's powerful dipping effort from the edge of the area needed a top save from Marko Marosi to tip over before Doncaster left-back Cedric Evina almost fired into his own goal.

Pompey were given a first-half lifeline when Joe Wright bizarrely hooked Gareth Evans' wayward cross into Baker's path and the winger thumped in.
Conor Chaplin failed to crane his header into an open goal, Baker dragged a long ball onto the bar and Curtis Main air-kicked under the bar.
But the best chance was kicked off the line by Andy Butler after Gary Roberts had headed towards goal as Pompey fell to a second straight defeat.

Astle, who scored 174 goals in 361 games for the club, netted the winner as Albion beat Everton 1-0 at Wembley.
The kit will be part of 'Astle Day' where his family will launch a foundation to help sufferers and research of the brain condition which caused his death in 2002.
The England cap was 59 when he died.

The condition - chronic traumatic encephalopathy - is usually linked to boxing.
And Astle's family have been lobbying the Football Association to introduce new laws on head injuries in amateur football.
Albion will wear shirts numbered 2-11, with a blank goalkeeping jersey to mirror the one worn by John Osborne at Wembley.
It will be the second time the Premier League has granted permission for a kit change following Manchester United's switch to a retro design for the 50th anniversary of the Munich air disaster in 2008.
Glasgow Museums will commemorate the landmark of the Glasgow-born architect with a programme of events in 2018.
One of the highlights, according to curators, will be a temporary exhibition held at Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum.
It will showcase works by Rennie Mackintosh and his contemporaries.
Many of the works will be on display for the first time in a generation, while others will be given their first public appearance.
The exhibition includes works by The Four: Charles Rennie Mackintosh, his future wife Margaret Macdonald, her younger sister Frances Macdonald and her future husband James Herbert McNair.
Alison Brown, curator with Glasgow Museums, said: "Charles Rennie Mackintosh is rightly celebrated around the world as one of the most creative figures of the 20th Century.
"He is regarded as the father of Glasgow Style, arguably Britain's most important contribution to the international Art Nouveau movement.
"As we approach this significant anniversary I am thrilled Glasgow Museums will join in a city-wide celebration with an exhibition commemorating one of their most famous sons."
A Museums Galleries Scotland grant enabled museum chiefs to recruit an assistant curator to develop the exhibition in tandem with a wider Charles Rennie Mackintosh programme.
Glasgow Style designs and art works were created by teachers, students and graduates of The Glasgow School of Art between about 1890 and 1920.
Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Margaret Macdonald, Frances Macdonald and James Herbert McNair were said to be at the core of this movement.
Duncan Dornan, head of Glasgow Museums, added: "Glasgow is Scotland's cultural powerhouse, a position that is as relative today as it was over 100 years ago when Charles Rennie Mackintosh and his contemporaries created Glasgow Style, which remains instantly recognisable and continues to permeate the designs of many different things we see today.
"His contribution to cultural life in Scotland cannot be understated.
"It is fitting therefore that we are planning to mark the 150th anniversary of his birth with an exhibition at Kelvingrove Museum."
However, hardline titles were less enthusiastic, warning against what they saw as American tricks to continue dominating Iran.
Official newspaper Iran led with the headline "Sanctions crumble down". Sa'id Alikhani wrote: "These are regarded as historic and decisive days for our country as well as for the international community". The "complicated and tough" negotiations showed that Tehran was capable of carrying out diplomacy through "its rights and legal demands, rather than threats," Alikahani concluded.
Reformist newspaper Sharq hailed "one of the greatest days in the contemporary history of Iran". It went on to say that Tehran's "great government forced the major powers to accept the nation's rights [to its own nuclear programme] through logic and rationality".
Centrist daily Jomhuri-ye Eslami celebrated the fact that "the dossier of oppressive economic sanctions against Iran has closed for ever". An editorial in the paper said that Iranians should "greet this great victory" and that members of the negotiating team should be "rightly considered national heroes".
Javad Deleri in the reformist daily E'temad celebrated the "first morning without sanctions" in his column. "The breaking of the blockade, leading the economy out of the whirlpool created by continuous international sanctions, and the establishment of Iranian peaceful logic - these are all part of the miracle of using wisdom in diplomacy and national co-operation in sorting out the nuclear case," he wrote.
However, the hardline Javan daily said that the United States would attempt to take advantage of Iran in the post-sanctions era, and urged "vigilance" from state officials. "One of the main strategies of the hegemony, infiltration, can be expected to be used by the West in this particular period. Confronting the political, cultural, economic and security infiltration of America in the upcoming period is one of the important missions of officials in various sectors as well as the Islamic Revolution front."
Hardline Vatan-e Emruz said: "As per the nuclear deal, now it is the time to lift the sanctions, but this is happening at a time when another proposal to impose missile sanctions on Iran has been placed on [US] President [Barack] Obama's table."
Writing in the conservative Khorasan newspaper, Habib Nikju said that some people would be left worse off by the coming changes, and that factional squabbling could ruin future plans. "If we intend to achieve sustainable growth for the country, every single Iranian needs to agree on development... Otherwise, neither this government nor other governments will be able to do anything."
Sadeq Zibakalam in reformist Arman newspaper warned that miracles will not happen overnight, and "the evil of corruption" would still loom over Iran's economy. "With the lifting of sanctions, the work of the government will become more difficult... As long as our economy is not open and competitive, we cannot expect a miracle."

They took place at the south of Scotland monastery some time overnight between Sunday and Monday.
A canteen was broken into and a small amount of cash and confectionery taken, and an attempt was made to enter sheds.
A yellow Wacker Plate compactor worth £3,000, which was being used in works on the site, was also stolen. A vehicle would have been needed to remove it.
Rovers lost to Salford in the Million Pound Game on 1 October, with all Super League contracts automatically voided.
But Lunt has agreed to stay under the terms of his old deal, which has three years left to run.
The 29-year-old, who joined the club from Huddersfield in 2015, scored eight tries in 23 appearances last season.
"As far as I'm concerned, I was part of the team that got the club relegated and I want to be part of the team that gets the club promoted back up to Super League again," he told the club website.
Four bombers blew themselves up outside a house in the predominantly Christian village of Qaa, close to the border with war-torn Syria.
It was not immediately clear who or what the attackers planned to target.
Al-Manar TV, which is owned by the militant Shia group Hezbollah, blamed the Sunni jihadist group Islamic State.
IS has carried out previous suicide bombings that have killed scores of people in Lebanon, but has not yet said whether it was behind Monday's blasts.
Lebanon's official National News Agency reported that the first suicide bomber blew himself up in front of the house at 04:20 (01:20 GMT).
The three other attackers followed, detonating their suicide vests one after the other as people gathered in the road nearby, it added.
Four soldiers who went to investigate the first explosion were among the wounded.
"Qaa is the gateway to the rest of Lebanon, and here we stopped a plan for a much bigger explosion," mayor Bashir Matar told the AFP news agency.
"We chased the fourth attacker and shot at him, and he blew himself up," he said, adding that five villagers had been killed in the attack.
The NNA reported that the army had cordoned off the area and were searching for possible accomplices.
The explosions reportedly occurred about 150m (490ft) from a Lebanese customs border point, on the road linking the Bekaa valley to the Syrian town of Qusair.
Most of Qaa's residents are Christians, but one area called Masharia Qaa is predominantly Sunni.
A large number of Syrians refugees have also set up an informal camp adjacent to the village, according to AFP.
Lebanon has seen repeated attacks linked to the five-year conflict in Syria, where Hezbollah is fighting in support of President Bashar al-Assad.
The incident, which happened in Bolton at about 10:10 BST on Thursday, was captured on CCTV.
A blue Honda Civic pulled up next to the woman as she walked along Spa Road, next to Queen's Park, police said.
There was a struggle between the two and the woman was apparently forced into the back seat.
Neither the car nor the woman has been found, Greater Manchester Police said.
Officers are now trying to trace a potential witness who appeared to cross the road to avoid the incident.
She was wearing orange clothing and carrying a white bag.
Det Insp Charlotte Cadden said: "At this stage, we do not know the circumstances as to why this car stopped, whether the man and woman were known to each other, or why she would appear to have been forced into the car.
"However, given what we have seen on CCTV we are concerned for the safety and well-being of this woman."
She finished fourth in the women's vault gymnastics event on Sunday with a score of 15.966, just 0.15 points behind the bronze winner.
India has yet to win an Olympics medal at the Rio 2016 games.
But her fourth place did little to stop the outpouring of support and praise for the athlete on social media.
"It's not about winning medals," said Shekhar Kapur, an Indian film director on Twitter. "It's about breaking through all stereotypes and proving you are there with the best. You inspire us all."
"Thank you #DipaKarmakar for getting us united at midnight cheering for Gymnastics, in a country with no infrastructure for this sport," said cricketer Virender Sehwag. "Super proud".
Another user on Twitter added that Ms Karmakar had united the country.
"From left-liberal to internet-Hindu we all came together for Karmakar. Never forget."
Ms Karmakar said she was not disappointed with her performance.
"I never expected a medal from this Olympics but to have come fourth is very creditable," Ms Karmakar told news outlet First Post. "For me this is my first Olympics, but I don't need to be disappointed. After four years, my target would be gold."
Ms Karmakar was only one of two gymnasts to perform the Produnova vault, widely known as one of the most dangerous feats in gymnastics.
It is often referred to as the "vault of death".
The move consists of a front handspring off the vault, followed by two and a half somersaults.
When asked if she would attempt the move, star US Olympian Simone Biles reportedly told The New Yorker, "I'm not trying to die".
Ms Karmakar completed the move and landed on her feet, but then reportedly sat down- causing her to lose points. However, she said that she was pleased with her result.
"This is my highest score in Produnova. I am very happy with my vault. I gave my whole effort to bring an Olympic medal for my countrymen. But it was tough luck."
Ms Biles took the top prize in the vault, with Maria Paseka of Russia coming in second and Giulia Steingruber of Switzerland taking the bronze.
Gymnastics does not receive much funding from the government of India, with Ms Karmakar earlier telling the BBC that she competed in her first gymnastics competition without shoes and in an ill-fitting costume.
Olympic losers: Why is India so bad at sport?
India won six medals in the 2012 Olympics, with four bronze and two silvers. Much of the country had been banking on Ms Karmakar to bring its first win. She has promised to bring a medal home in 2020.
The raids came as the government banned the group, which it accused of trying to recruit fighters for so-called Islamic State (IS).
An Interior Ministry spokeswoman said there was no indication DWR (True Religion) was planning attacks itself.
She said the group had breached the constitution and incited hatred.
There was no immediate statement from the group.
Some of those who have gone to fight for IS in the Middle East had contact with the organisation before they left.
Officials estimate that almost 900 people in total have so far left Germany to join IS in Syria or Iraq.
"The message to the radical Islamist scene is clear: we do not tolerate fanatics who try to radicalise young people and send them to jihad," said Peter Beuth, interior minister for Hesse state, where some of the raids took place.
"By banning this organisation, a major source of radicalisation has been eradicated nationwide. Those who spread hate messages can't hide behind freedom of religion."
Cabinet minister David Davis described the move as "mad" and newspapers also criticised the decision.
But a UK Parliament spokesman said that "prolonged exposure to the chimes would pose a serious risk to the hearing" of those working on the project.
The TUC said silencing the chimes was "common sense".
The bongs will sound for the final time at 12:00 BST on Monday 21 August before being disconnected to allow the clock and surrounding tower to be restored - a project that is expected to last until 2021.
The UK Parliament spokesman said the Palace of Westminster had "a duty of care to those on site".
Earlier, Brexit Secretary Mr Davis had said there was "hardly a health and safety argument" for silencing the bells.
"I think it's mad," he told LBC radio.
"I'd forgotten of course, I've been out of government for a lot of years, and I've forgotten how long it takes to get the approvals for this and the approvals for that.
"There's a sort of rude phrase which I will shorten to 'just get on with it'.
"When I was in business, it was my standard line, just get on, just do it, don't faff."
The Telegraph reported on a "backlash" from other MPs and columnist Frances Wilson wrote: "Silencing Big Ben is like stopping the heartbeat of our democracy."
An article in the Daily Mail said: "Not even Nazi bombs could silence the famous symbol of Britishness.
"But having marked the hour with almost unbroken service since 1859, the Great Bell's bongs will soon cease for four years - because of health and safety."
TUC health and safety officer Hugh Robertson said: "Protecting workers' hearing is far from 'health and safety gone mad.'"
He added: "When all 14 tonnes of Big Ben bongs near you, you'll know it.
"At nearly 120 decibels, it's like putting your ear next to a police siren."
Alongside conservation work to the Elizabeth Tower which houses the Great Bell, the Great Clock will be dismantled piece-by-piece and its four dials will be cleaned and repaired.
A spokesman for Parliament said: "Constant proximity and prolonged exposure to the chimes would pose a serious risk to the hearing of those working on the scaffolding or in the Tower.
"Whilst hearing protection provides a suitable short term solution to the 118 decibel chiming and striking of the bells, it is not acceptable for those working for long periods in the vicinity of Big Ben.
"In addition, it is vital for workers to be able to communicate with one another on site, or to raise an alarm should the necessity arise. This would not be possible were the bells to continue to sound throughout the works.
"Workers on the scaffolding could also be startled by the loud sudden noise, with consequences for their own safety and those of other people in and around the tower. The only way to ensure people's safety is to temporarily stop the bell."
The Great Bell, which has sounded on the hour for 157 years, last fell silent in 2007 and before that, for major refurbishments between 1983 and 1985.
It will still sound for important events including New Year and Remembrance Sunday, while one working clock face will remain visible during the works.
Olympic champion Joshua, 26, came into the fight boasting 14 straight knockouts in the first three rounds.
But Whyte, 27, stood up to some huge blows and, perhaps more importantly, managed to land a few of his own.
However, Whyte was wobbled by a hook to the temple before Joshua finished the job with a savage uppercut.
With Whyte dangling on the ropes and seemingly unaware of his surroundings, referee Howard Foster called a halt to proceedings.
Joshua's thrilling victory was greeted by raucous celebrations at the 20,000-capacity O2 Arena, making it abundantly clear that Britain has a new heavyweight hero. And Joshua's emergence could lead to some fascinating heavyweight encounters on these shores over the next few years.
Next up for Watford's Joshua, who also retained his Commonwealth belt at the O2 Arena, could be compatriot and former world title challenger Dereck Chisora, who knocked out Croatian journeyman Jakov Gospic on the same bill.
Britain's former world champion David Haye makes his comeback in January after a three-year injury lay-off, but promoter Eddie Hearn is unlikely to risk his prize asset against such a potentially dangerous opponent any time soon.
The fight all of Britain would like to see is Joshua versus Tyson Fury, who won the WBA, IBF and WBO titles from Ukrainian Wladimir Klitschko in Dusseldorf a fortnight ago. Fury was later stripped of his IBF title.
Fury and Klitschko will fight again next summer and if the Manchester boxer wins again, the clamour for him to fight Joshua will be deafening.
"A world title fight is still far away," Joshua told BBC Radio 5 live.
"Becoming an elite athlete in such a tough sport, it doesn't happen overnight but I've got the desire, ambition and the team around me to do it but I don't want to rush it because when I get there, I want to stay there."
Before Saturday, Whyte was unbeaten in 16 pro fights, with 13 knockouts. He beat Joshua in the amateur ranks in 2009, was full of confidence during the build-up and it was hoped he might at least test his rival's chin.
Whyte did indeed take it to Joshua in the first round, but took plenty of shuddering blows as a result and looked at one point as if he might not last three minutes. But what looked like a momentary buckling of the knees proved to be deceptive.
A flurry of late blows by Joshua caused Whyte to retaliate, the Londoner attempting to punch Joshua while he was being held by the referee. This in turn led to both sets of entourages, plus security, invading the ring. A tense stand-off ensued before the canvas was cleared and the real action resumed.
Joshua continued talking to Whyte at the start of the second, until he was staggered by a huge left hook. But while Joshua was clearly hurt, Whyte was unable to press home his advantage.
By the third Whyte, who had been written off as a pretender by a lot of experts, had earned Joshua's full respect. And when the bell sounded for the start of the fourth - uncharted territory for Joshua - the fight seemed to be in the balance.
Joshua managed to back Whyte up with his jab in the fourth, only for his rival to come back swinging and land with some grazing shots of his own.
However, Whyte was taking in huge gulps of air by the end of the sixth and when he offered to touch gloves at the start of the seventh, it seemed like a sign of resignation.
A left to the temple sent Whyte reeling across the ring, although he did well to compose himself, grab Joshua and tie him up on the inside. However, Whyte was unable to keep Joshua off for long.
Whyte, having retreated to the ropes, was finally finished off by a picture-perfect uppercut. Having tried and failed to make it to his feet, he was given medical attention in the ring but soon helped back to his corner.
"I really enjoyed it - it lived up to the hype. Let's give Dillian Whyte credit for rocking Anthony to his core with that shot and testing him. But Anthony's not the finished article and he'll learn from that fight tonight.
"This is fantastic for British heavyweight boxing. Dillian has a good future. I think Anthony Joshua will be heavyweight champion of the world within 18 months. The right uppercut was a punch that would have knocked King Kong out."
Her appearances at protests are recorded in documents released after a Freedom of Information (FOI) request to police.
Ms Lucas said the tracking sends a "chilling message" to those wanting to take part in peaceful demonstrations.
The National Police Chiefs Council defended the unit but would not confirm who was being recorded.
The file on the Brighton Pavilion MP lists her appearances at political marches and rallies as early as 2007.
A spokeswoman for National Counter Terrorism Police HQ said: "The National Counter Terrorism Police Operations Centre gathers data for policing purposes in accordance with UK law.
"The centre fully complies with stringent data protection legislation in regard to the collation, retention and deletion of records.
"We do not discuss details of records which may or may not have been compiled in relation to named individuals."
Ms Lucas described the monitoring as "a clear waste of public money and resources", adding no-one should be subject to "arbitrary surveillance".
The Green Party said another file lists the political activities of Sian Berry, its candidate in the London Mayor election.
The National Domestic Extremism and Disorder Intelligence Unit website says it was set up to "help reduce the criminal threat from domestic extremism across the UK."
Professor Anthony Glees of the Centre for Security and Intelligence Studies said: "There is a need to keep people under surveillance and there is a need to ensure that people who might be planning acts of extremism, political violence of any kind should be known about by the police.
"But there is no evidence that Caroline Lucas or Sian Berry have been involved in anything that could cause a threat to national security."
In 2014, London Assembly member and Green Party peer Jenny Jones discovered her actions were recorded on a database of "domestic extremists" by the Met Police.
Bu'n gyflwynydd rhaglen newyddion BBC Wales Today am nifer o flynyddoedd, a bu'n gweithio fel dadansoddwr rygbi ar gyfer BBC Radio 5.
Roedd hefyd yn awdur nifer o lyfrau ar y gamp, gan gynnwys llyfrau am hanes rygbi yng Nghymru.
Fe gafodd David Parry-Jones ei eni ar 25 Medi 1933 ac fe aeth i'r ysgol yng Nghaerdydd, cyn mynd i Goleg Merton ym Mhrifysgol Rhydychen yn 1952 i astudio'r Clasuron.
Yn ystod ei gyfnod yn Rhydychen, roedd yn gapten ar dîm rygbi'r undeb, y Greyhounds, a thimau criced y coleg.
Ar ôl cwblhau ei wasanaeth cenedlaethol yn 1959, fe ddechreuodd ar yrfa fel newyddiadurwr, cyn mynd ymlaen i fod yn un o sylwebwyr rygbi mwyaf adnabyddus y BBC.
David Parry-Jones oedd yn gyfrifol am sylwebu ar fuddugoliaeth enwog Llanelli dros y Crysau Duon yn 1972.
Roedd hefyd yn gymar i'r ddarlledwraig Beti George, ac ers 2009 roedd wedi bod yn dioddef o glefyd Alzeheimer.
Bu'r ddau yn gweithio'n galed i godi ymwybyddiaeth o'r cyflwr gan ymddangos ar nifer o raglenni ar y BBC ac S4C.
Roedd David Parry-Jones hefyd yn dad i ddau o blant.
Wrth gofio am ei gyfaill dywedodd y darlledwr Huw Llywelyn Davies fod David Parry-Jones yn un o "hoelion wyth y byd darlledu chwaraeon yng Nghymru".
"Roedd yn un o'r cewri, ynghyd â phobl fel Cliff Morgan, ac fe fydd pawb yn ei gofio am ei ddelwedd nodweddiadol, yn ei gôt sheepskin, a'i allu i fynegi", meddai.
"Roedd gan David y gallu i gyfleu achlysur digwyddiad o bwys, fel yn y gêm rhwng Llanelli a'r Crysau Duon.
"Roedd ei baratoi wastad yn drylwyr iawn, ac fe roedd yn gwybod pryd i siarad a beth i'w ddweud, roedd yn un o hoelion wyth y byd darlledu chwaraeon, ac yn wir feistr ar ei grefft."
Dywedodd Cadeirydd Undeb Rygbi Cymru, Gareth Davies, ei fod yn "ddarlledwr gwybodus, poblogaidd tu hwnt" a'i fod yn "uchel iawn ei barch".
Dywedodd Mr Davies: "Roedd David Parry-Jones yn was gwych i'r gêm, roedd yn hynod boblogaidd ledled Cymru, ac yn ddarlledwr gwybodus gyda phersonoliaeth gynnes.

Toure, 30, has 22 goals this season, helping City to win the League Cup and challenge for the Premier League title.
To be honest, proper recognition has only come from the fans
Samir Nasri recently said Toure would be celebrated as one of the world's best midfielders were he not African.
In an interview for Football Focus on BBC World News, he said: "I think what Samir was saying was definitely true."
The midfielder has won league titles in four countries - Ivory Coast, Greece, Spain and England - and was part of the Barcelona team that won the Champions League in 2009.
He also feels fellow countryman Didier Drogba and Cameroon's Samuel Eto'o are undervalued because they are African.
"To be honest, proper recognition has only come from the fans," said the three-time African player of the year, also voted BBC African footballer of the year in 2013. "I don't want to be hard and I don't want to be negative, but I want to be honest."
Toure feels the media should do more to promote African players.
"If we play well and we don't have the recognition from the media, we are not going to be where we want to be," he said.

Toure also feels African players need to do far more to stand out, drawing comparisons with Barcelona duo Andres Iniesta and Xavi, both former team-mates of his.
He says Iniesta and Xavi are often praised for their attacking skills, but rarely singled out for criticism when they fail to defend properly.
In contrast, Toure claims he is regularly picked on by the media when he makes a defensive mistake.
The Ivorian is also unhappy that Lionel Messi, widely regarded as one of the best players in the world along with Cristiano Ronaldo, is recognised around the world but players like himself are not.
He said: "If you go to any part of Africa now, people will say, 'yes, we know him [Messi]', but when you come to Europe and say 'Yaya Toure' people will say, 'who is that?' Some will say they know my name but not know my face. But they will know Messi's face."
Toure, who played in Belgium, Ukraine, Greece, France and Spain before moving to England, says he will be disappointed if he is not named player of the year by the Professional Footballers' Association.
He is one of six players on the shortlist, alongside Chelsea's Eden Hazard, Southampton's Adam Lallana and the Liverpool trio of Luis Suarez, Steven Gerrard and Daniel Sturridge.
Born: Sokoura Bouake, Ivory Coast
Date of Birth: 13 May, 1983
Height: 6ft 3in
Weight: 79kg
Teams: Beveren (Belgium) 2001-2003; Metalurh Donetsk (Ukraine) 2003-2005; Olympiakos (Greece) 2005-2006; Monaco (France) 2006-2007; Barcelona (Spain) 2007-2010; Manchester City (England) 2010-present
International debut: 2004, caps 82
Asked if he would be unhappy not to win the award, Toure replied: "Definitely. As a champion, as a winner, I always want to win."
Asked to reflect on the fact there has only been one African winner of the Ballon d'Or - former AC Milan and Liberia striker George Weah in 1995 - Toure cited the significant contributions made by players such as fellow Africans Eto'o and Drogba at club level.
"Those players are more than legends for me and Africa," said Toure.
Asked if he knew if players such as Eto'o and Drogba also felt under-appreciated, the former Barcelona player replied: "Definitely."
He added: "I am very proud to be African, I want to defend African people and I want to show to the world that African players can be as good as the Europeans and South Americans."

Commercial scallop fishing came to an end in the bay five years ago when it became a special area of conservation.
Whale and Dolphin Conservation (WDC), which launched the petition, described scallop dredging as "a highly destructive fishing method".
The Welsh government said a public consultation was being carried out.
Mick Green, of WDC, said: "We are delighted so many people support our view that the current proposal to open up protected areas to scallop dredging is wrong.
"We hope that the Welsh government will take notice of the high level of opposition to these proposals and withdraw them."
A Welsh government spokesman said it was "currently considering the establishment of a viable and sustainable scallop fishery", which was "in line with the evidence provided by the Bangor University study".
The public consultation ends on 17 February.
An International Ski Federation (FIS) hearing panel found "violations" in the Thailand skier's results at an event in Slovenia.
The British citizen, 36, qualified days before the deadline after competing in the hastily-staged races in January.
Five officials involved in the event have also been banned by the FIS.
The competitions in Slovenia were organised at the request of the management of the skier, through the Thai Olympic Committee.
Competing as Vanessa Vanakorn, she went on to finish last of 67 competitors in the giant slalom at the Sochi Games, 50 seconds adrift of winner Tina Maze.
The FIS said in a statement: "The hearing panel found to its comfortable satisfaction that the results of the four ladies' giant slalom races that took place on 18 and 19 January at Krvavec were manipulated."
Mae was born in Singapore to Thai and Chinese parents and moved to England at the age of four after her mother married a British lawyer.
She earned fame as a violinist during her childhood with a series of performances on British television before going on to launch a successful solo career with album sales running into millions.
Some of the findings of the FIS investigation:
The International Olympic Committee said it would not be taking any follow-up action until the outcome of any appeal was known.
And students won't have to travel to a galaxy far, far away to take part in the short philosophy course.
The day-long open access course is being run by the University of Glasgow.
Star Wars and Philosophy: Destiny, Justice and the Metaphysics of the Force will be held on 4 May - the date recognised as Star Wars day by fans.
It will examine how far people can be responsible for their own actions when their destiny is governed by "the force".
Philosophy teacher John Donaldson will introduce concepts of free will and moral responsibility against the backdrop of the epic space drama.
The lifelong Star Wars fan said the course had been designed to broaden the appeal of philosophy.
It is part of a range of courses that are open to the general public but do not carry degree credits.
Dr Donaldson said: "It's a way of making philosophy more accessible. It's an unfortunate fact that philosophy tends to be hidden away in universities.
"You don't get programmes about philosophy on TV for example, which you do about other academic subjects.
"You don't tend to get books that deal with philosophical ideas. It's not that accessible.
"We hope it will engage people and encourage them to take philosophy further."
He said the university had previously ran courses exploring the philosophical questions raised by The Sopranos, The Wire and The Simpsons.
The first Star Wars film, starring Mark Hammill, Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford, was released in 1977.
The franchise has been a huge commercial success, with a combined worldwide box office revenue of $7.4bn (£5.9bn).
The three designations involved cover the Small Isles, Wester Ross and Loch Sunart to the Sound of Jura.
They form part of a proposed network of 30 protected areas.
The decision to consult again follows feedback from the fishing industry and changes to the MPAs' boundaries, the government said.
The aim of MPAs is to improve marine conservation, including giving greater protection for kelp and rocky reefs, beds of sea grass and maerl seaweed. The areas have been designated but the limits on what types of fishing can be done in them have still to be introduced.
The planned MPA network has support from conservation charities and elements of the fishing industry, including creel fishermen.
However, some fishermen and communities in the west of Scotland and Western Isles have concerns about their effect on fishing.
Communities in the Western Isles have also now told the islands' SNP MP Angus MacNeil that the consultations need to be extended beyond their 17 January deadline to give them more time to respond.
Fisheries Minister Richard Lochhead said: "We need to take decisive action to conserve our precious and valuable marine environment and biodiversity.
"Our MPAs are widely supported, and will protect important seabed features, such as maerl beds which provide habitat for scallops, and species such as horse mussels which improve our water quality."
He added: "We have received a range of different views on our proposals from communities, stakeholders, and the fishing industry - including many in the static sector who support our proposals whilst others have expressed concern.
"As a result, I have made changes where I can to reduce any potential economic impact while still protecting the integrity of our initial proposals and desire to protect and conserve the marine environment for future generations."
Mr MacNeil said he had received "almost instantaneous reaction of dismay" to the latest announcement on MPAs.
He said: "This whole marine protected area issue is being done in way I feel will be economically damaging for the islands and west coast.
"However, setting that aside, a month consultation over Christmas is too short and should be extended.
"Too many jobs and livelihoods of people we all know in our communities are dependent on this whole thing being done properly, therefore at outset the consultation cannot rushed."
Scottish Environment Link, whose members include conservation charities such as RSPB Scotland and Marine Conservation Society, said it was pleased the government remained committed to MPAs.
Calum Duncan, convener of the group's marine taskforce, said: "We welcome the proposals as the first step toward protecting many important areas, enabling ecological recovery and helping to secure healthier Scottish seas for future generations, although concerns remain about some places where bottom-towed fishing will still be permitted.
"These nature conservation measures must also be part of a broader and more progressive approach to spatial management of fisheries throughout our seas.
"We now need to continue working with all stakeholders to ensure MPAs fulfil their promise of recovering Scotland's sea life, both for its intrinsic value and for broader public benefit."
Jonathan Joseph, Elliot Daly, Semesa Rokoduguni, Teimana Harrison and Joe Launchbury gave England a big lead.
Fiji hit back as Nemani Nadolo, Leone Nakarawa and Metuisela Talebula scored either side of the break.
But further scores from Joe Launchbury (two), Joseph, Alex Goode and Rokoduguni saw England secure their biggest winning margin against Fiji.
England head coach Eddie Jones had promised "fish and chip" rugby - namely that the hosts would produce a traditional, structured game to play to their strengths and not let things get loose, which would benefit Fiji.
But, although they duly used the power of their driving line-out to score three first-half tries, they also showed plenty of ambition, with the 10-12 axis of George Ford and Owen Farrell combining well to release the backs.
The skilful and explosive Fijians finally came to life near the break, scoring three quick tries as England slipped below the standards they had set initially.
But in the end the hosts - who made five changes to their starting XV and brought on several youngsters from the bench in the second half - equalled their highest ever total against the visitors.
"It was good fish and chips," Jones told BBC Sport. "It doesn't mean fish and chips is basic. I thought we played some sparkling rugby, really good stuff. The ball movement, crispness of passing was fantastic."
Recalled centre Joseph opened the scoring inside the first few minutes, skipping over from Owen Farrell's nicely delayed pass, and Daly was next to cross, latching on to to Ford's long pass and leaving the Fiji defenders tripping over each other as he cruised over.
Rokoduguni then scored his first Test try, against the land of his birth, and two tries from driven line-outs, for Harrison and Launchbury, meant England were still scoring at better than a point a minute at the half-hour mark.
"George [Ford] and Owen [Farrell] were clever, they read the game well, read their defence well, which created opportunities for the outside guys," added Jones.
"Rokoduguni has definitely got a smile on his face. I'm really pleased for him because he worked hard to get this chance. He got a lot of reward for the hard work he's done."
Fiji had yet to make it into England's 22, denying the world class Nadolo and sevens star Nakarawa the chance to show what they could do.
And, when they did finally get down the other end of the pitch, the pair featured prominently before the former crashed over in the corner for their first try.
On the stroke of half-time it was Nakarawa showing his power and skill to stretch over despite the attention of a pack of England defenders.
And early in the second half full-back Talebula beat three men on his way to their third score.
But Jones was not too disheartened by the Fijians' fight back.
"We are a young team, in terms of only being together 11 games. We are not going to get everything absolutely right," he said.
England had been knocked out of their stride but they managed to regroup and pull away convincingly.
Goode scored his first Test try, courtesy of prop Mako Vunipola's perfect take-and-give pass, before Joseph picked off a speculative pass from Fiji's Cornwall-born fly-half Josh Matavesi to score an interception try to complete his brace.
And there was still time for Rokoduguni and Launchbury - the latter becoming only the second England second row to score two tries in a Test - to complete doubles of their own.
"Our control was pretty good, at certain times we wanted to join the party but our discipline was pretty good. We can't be too disappointed with that result," added Jones.
England welcome Argentina - who lost to a last-gasp Scotland penalty on Saturday - to Twickenham on 26 November.
England: Goode, Rokoduguni, Joseph, Farrell, Daly, Ford, Youngs; M Vunipola, Hartley (capt), Cole, Launchbury, Lawes, Robshaw, Harrison, B Vunipola.
Replacements: George, Marler, Sinckler, Ewels, Hughes, Care, Te'o, Slade.
Fiji: Talebula, Masilevu, Tikoirotuma, Vulivuli, Nadolo, Matavesi, Vularika; Ma'afu, Koto, Saulo, Ratuniyawara, Nakarawa, Waqaniburotu, Yato, Qera.
Replacements: Talemaitoga, Ravai, Atalifo, Soqeta, Dawai, Radrodro, Matawalu, Murimurivalu.
He met Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny at the White House in Washington on Thursday, St Patrick's Day.
Speaking at the end of their meeting, the President said: "I wanted to say today that I intend to come to Ireland in May, but the date of the visit has yet to be finalised."
He said he intended to visit Moneygall, the home of his great, great, great, great, great, grandfather.
Records have revealed that Mr Obama's ancestor was a shoemaker in the village of Moneygall in County Offaly. His son Fulmuth Kearney left for America in 1850.
Researchers at Trinity College, Dublin, delved further into Mr Obama's past during the presidential campaign to find an ancestral grand uncle was a prominent Dublin businessman in the 1700s.
Wig-maker Michael Kearney brushed shoulders with Ireland's aristocracy on a daily basis and bought and sold property throughout the country. Mr Obama's political dynasty can also be traced to Kearney, who was heavily involved in the trade politics of Dublin.
There is no official date for the visit yet but Mr Obama is due to travel to the UK in late May ahead of a G8 summit of world leaders in France.
Mr Kenny called the President's visit a "vote of confidence" in the Irish people at a time of difficulty.
He said he could assure the president of a rapturous welcome and said if he wanted to play golf he would be happy to join him.
Earlier, the two leaders talked about how Ireland would bounce back from economic turmoil.
Mr Kenny had breakfast with vice president Joe Biden at about 1230 GMT and met the US President at the Oval Office two hours later.
At an American Ireland Fund dinner on Wednesday night, Mr Kenny said Ireland was "far from finished".
He said the recent election was "a new dawn" for the country.
The American Ireland Fund is aiming to raise $100m for Irish charities by the end of 2013.
Mr Kenny also met US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner on Wednesday. The two men discussed the global economic situation.
There will be plenty on the agenda, including a possible announcement on some, or all, of its plans to reform the damaged organisation.
What we will know for certain is when president Sepp Blatter's successor will be chosen.
I'm told 16 December is still the preferred date.
However Blatter's desire to stick around a while longer before departing may see the emergency Fifa congress - which will be attended by all 209 member states - slip to early 2016.
Either way the clock is now ticking for those wishing to be the next leader of world football.
So far there have only been a handful of declarations, principally from individuals who are well-intentioned but have little chance of winning.
The big beasts of football politics are still to pounce.
The reasons? Many are thought to be holding off because of concerns about the state of the organisation they will inherit.
Others are simply waiting to see who makes the first move.
Prince Ali Bin Al Hussein of Jordan, for example, may decide not to run again if Uefa president Michel Platini enters the race. That despite Ali polling 73 votes in May's ballot.
Fifa is already involved in two criminal investigations. With the threat of further action and arrests still to come, the organisation is set to be mired in legal disputes for many years to come.
But someone will have to lead once Blatter departs.
The rules dictate presidential candidates must have been involved in football for two of the past five years.
They then have to gain the support of five football associations in order to validate their place on the ballot paper.
It's a difficult hurdle to clear - just ask Jerome Champagne and David Ginola, who both failed in their attempts to become qualified candidates in the election just gone.
There are some, including the Premier League executive chairman Richard Scudamore, who would like to see a candidate untainted by past scandal and with a corporate track record come forward.
Speaking to me earlier this month, Scudamore said: "The problem with the football politician is that it's all about votes. In some ways Fifa needs someone who can transcend that, who is a more unifying candidate.
"Quite frankly, we need some new names and some new thinking.
"It probably needs someone from one of the emerging nations or at least someone who is independent from what has gone on in the past."
But the rules as they stand prevent anyone from outside football entering the contest.
Much has already been said about the potential candidacies of individuals such as Platini, Champagne, Sheikh Ahmad Al-Fahad Al-Sabah, David Chung, Issa Hayatou, Ted Howard, Musa Bility and others.
In due course, the field will thin out and the true contenders will come forward.
But one man who hasn't been mentioned as a possible runner is Domenico Scala, appointed in 2012 as Fifa's independent head of audit and compliance.
His position was spun by Fifa at the time as a crucial part of the ultimately botched reform process undertaken in light of several previous electoral and financial scandals.
Fast forward to last month and it was the Swiss-Italian who was present when Blatter dramatically announced he would "lay down his mandate" and call for a fresh election.
That day Scala spoke of how Blatter, in promising to resign, had "created an opportunity for us to go further than Fifa has before - to fundamentally change the way in which Fifa is structured".
"Nothing will be off the table, including the structure and composition of the executive committee and the way in which members of the executive committee are elected," he added.
"These steps will ensure that the organisation cannot be used by those seeking to enrich themselves at the expense of the game."
It was a clear statement on the work he feels Fifa must now undertake. In another context, it would work well as a manifesto.
Scala has backed up those words in recent weeks - most notably when Blatter tested the water on a possible resignation U-turn.
"The times of flirting with the power are definitely gone," he said in a terse statement.
"I call on all concerned - including Mr Blatter - to endorse in the interest of the reforms unequivocally the announced changing of the guard at the top of Fifa."
There are clear reputational risks for Scala in being involved with Fifa given the crisis that has enveloped it. As such, his statement reminding Blatter that he needs to stick to his word is unquestionably part of a desire to remain untainted.
However the strength of his declaration on the need for Blatter to go demonstrates that a big role in Fifa's new leadership team should not be discounted for him just yet.
On paper he has all the attributes required to run a large, financially strong organisation given his strong corporate background.
He knows Fifa's structural flaws and strengths intimately, having worked inside the organisation for over three years (and he therefore passes the first stage of the eligibility test).
Significantly, he's also untainted by any previous scandal and played no part in the controversial decisions to award the 2018 and 2022 World Cup awards to Russia and Qatar respectively.
However there are those who will feel that having worked so closely with Blatter he is part of the old regime and should leave as part of a clean break with the organisation's toxic past.
To be clear, Scala has not given a clear indication he has political ambition nor that he will indeed seek a nomination.
But with Fifa set to make an announcement about the new election date there is still time for him to make a move.
At the very least, with Jerome Valcke's future highly uncertain in a post-Blatter world, the job of secretary general could appeal to him.
A Scala presidency could also be acceptable to Blatter.
That's potentially significant as the level of enmity between Blatter and Platini means the former is likely to be searching for a candidate to block his arch-critic should he decide to stand.
Scala's candidacy could therefore provide Blatter with an acceptable heir to his kingdom - and, as he sees it, an ideologically sound successor.
This election race may be about to get even more intriguing.
The railway was built by Will Snook, who lives in Crewe, to raise money for charity.
The railway, which took 18 months to build and was put together by a team of seven, includes two tracks - one with a post-1955 steam engine and one with a post-1994 diesel train.
It will be on display in the village hall in Wrenbury until Monday.
Mr Snook expects the completed model, which will involve up to 17 lines, to be finished by October.
It will then go on display at Birmingham's NEC, as part of the Warley National Model Railway Exhibition, before touring in shows around the country.
Mr Snook, 26, an insurance assessor, has been a model railway enthusiast for 11 years.
"I believe this is one of the biggest model railways with a round layout in the UK," he said.
The breakout came during a riot that officials say may have been prompted by a power cut that knocked out supplies of pumped water.
Hundreds of police and soldiers have been trying to restore order at the prison, and combing the surrounding area for the escaped inmates.
Some of the fugitives were reportedly convicted of terrorism charges.
"The prisoners were annoyed by a blackout and problems getting water, which they said happens often at the prison," Heru Prakoso, a spokesman for North Sumatra province police told Agence France Presse.
"Prison officials told us that the inmates then set fire to the facility."
Some prisoners also reportedly seized guns and hurled bottles at their wardens and, according to police, about 15 prison officials were taken hostage.
The Tanjung Gusta Prison is known to have problems with overcrowding. It is thought to have held 2,400 prisoners despite having an official capacity of 400. | The European Parliament has approved a landmark free trade deal with Canada.

Dr Chongyi Feng, a China studies academic at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), was halted at Guangzhou airport.
Australian Justice Minister Michael Keenan said officials had contacted relatives of Dr Feng, who is an Australian permanent resident but a Chinese citizen.
It comes as Chinese Premier Li Keqiang concluded a five-day Australian visit.
The Australian Broadcasting Corp reported Dr Feng was stopped from boarding flights in Guangzhou on Friday and Saturday.
"UTS has been in regular contact Dr Feng, who has assured the university that he is fine," the university told the BBC in a statement.
"Although he is currently unable to leave China, for reasons we do not yet understand, he nonetheless has freedom of movement in China and freedom of communications."
Australian officials said they could not provide consular assistance because Dr Feng did not enter China on an Australian passport.
However, Mr Keenan said he would raise the matter with China.
"We'll continue to monitor the situation and remain in contact with Chinese authorities about it," he told reporters in Perth.
Reuters reported Dr Feng had been questioned over whether he had links to liberal intellectuals in China.
The soldiers were fatally wounded during a firefight on Wednesday night with the Islamic State (IS) group in eastern Afghanistan, US officials said.
The two were identified on Friday as Sgt Joshua Rodgers, 22, and Sgt Cameron Thomas, 23, who were both on their third deployment to Afghanistan.
A bullet grazed a third Ranger but he was expected to make a full recovery.
US Forces in Afghanistan said in a statement: "USFOR-A is investigating the possibility that the two Rangers were accidentally killed by friendly fire during the more than three-hour fight.
"We have informed both of their families of this possibility and we have appointed a team to investigate the soldiers' deaths."
Sgt Rodgers, of Bloomington, Illinois, was a Ranger team leader. Sgt Thomas, of Kettering, Ohio, was an anti-armour specialist.
Both were assigned to the 75th Ranger Regiment in Fort Benning, Georgia.
They were on a mission with Afghan security forces when they came under attack in remote Nangarhar province, near the border with Pakistan.
The operation took place in the Mamand Valley, where the US earlier this month dropped the largest non-nuclear munition ever used - known as the mother of all bombs - to destroy an IS tunnel network.
The Mother of All Bombs: How badly did it hurt IS in Afghanistan?
According to the Pentagon, the target of the raid was Abdul Hasib, leader of "ISIS-K", as the US military calls the militant group's Afghan affiliate.
The operation began at about 22:30 (18:00 GMT) local time on Wednesday, the US defence department said.
Two platoons of Army Rangers along with the same number of Afghan forces were dropped off by helicopter near the IS base.
"Within a few minutes of landing, our combined force came under intense fire from multiple directions and well-prepared fighting positions," said the Pentagon.
"Nevertheless, our forces successfully closed on the enemy, killed several high-level ISIS-K leaders and upwards of 35 fighters.
"If confirmed, the death of the Emir and his associates will significantly degrade ISIS-K operations in Afghanistan and help reach our goal of destroying them in 2017."
The fighting was at "close-quarters from multiple compounds" and US air strikes were carried out.
The Pentagon said it had heard no indication of civilian casualties, praising the actions of the US and Afghan forces as "exemplary".
"In the most difficult terrain and under complex circumstances, they were able to accomplish their mission while protecting the women and children in the compound," said the statement.
Professor Robert Langer of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has won the £1m award for his development of drug-release systems, tissue building and microchip implants.
The Queen Elizabeth Prize, designed to become a "Nobel" for engineering, was set up with cross-party backing and industry support to celebrate innovators with global impact.
Prof Langer's work has been cited 170,000 times - making him the most cited engineer in history - and he has more than 1,000 patents granted or pending for his inventions.
It is estimated that as many as two billion people have in some way been touched by technologies devised and developed by him and his teams.
The previous winners of the prize - set up to inspire young people to become engineers - were the five pioneers of the Internet and World Wide Web including Sir Tim Berners-Lee.
Prof Langer told the BBC: "I've always wanted to see what I can do to help people have happier, healthier lives. I worked in a hospital for a number of years - I've seen different medical problems and I've thought: What can we do to make things better for people?"
He said he was delighted to win the award because he supported "the idea of inspiring young people - nothing is more important than that".
In the 1970s, in the face of widespread opposition from the medical and scientific establishment, Prof Langer pioneered the use of materials known as polymers which could gradually release sophisticated medications.
It had been thought that the large molecules involved in treatments for diseases such as cancer and diabetes could not pass through polymers, but Prof Langer found ways to achieve this, allowing the development of devices to release controlled amounts of drugs.
Working with surgeons at Boston Children's Hospital, he developed the first substances that could block the spread of blood vessels in tumours - a process called angiogenesis.
His aim was to target anti-cancer drugs where they were most needed, to avoid harm to the whole body. Among his first inventions were "wafers" containing medication that could be inserted at the right locations, including brain tumours.
Prof Langer is known for bringing together researchers from many different disciplines ranging from chemical engineering - his original field - to patient care.
His design for cardiovascular stents which are coated in drugs has gone on to benefit about 10 million heart patients.
Combining materials science and medicine enabled him to make significant advances in tissue engineering - using synthetic polymers to guide cells into forming a wide range of tissues.
The US Food and Drug Administration has approved this technique for making artificial skin for use on burn victims and people with diabetic skin ulcers. Trials of the growth of new cartilage and spinal cord repair are under way.
More recently Prof Langer has developed implants designed to release specific doses of drugs over a period of years - with the potential for the releases to be controlled remotely by wireless signals.
The first uses of these devices are planned to be for diabetes medication, female contraception and osteoporosis while the provision of malaria drugs and essential minerals are on the horizon too.
On the opposition faced by many of his inventions, Prof Langer said: "Conventional wisdom is not always right and to really invent things, to come up with ideas, you to have examine carefully the basis for that conventional wisdom, and a lot of inventions have come because people say, 'What I've read, isn't right' - and that's part of what we did.
"When I started doing a lot of this work in the 1970s, it probably was considered science fiction, in fact a lot of the people who reviewed our grants said we shouldn't get the funds because it was like fiction.
"But you keep pushing, you keep believing in your ideas and eventually they do become reality."
When asked how he would spend the prize money, Prof Langer said he would leave it to his wife to decide.
He will receive the award from the Queen later this year.

A statement said the "terrorist" attack happened during clashes in al-Akr, a village about 20km (12 miles) south of the capital, Manama.
Another policeman was injured by the blast at the demonstration, organised by the 14 February Youth Coalition.
At least 60 people have been killed since protests began in February 2011.
Opposition supporters have been demanding more democracy and an end to what they say is discrimination against the majority Shia Muslim community by the Sunni royal family.
Those who took to the streets of al-Akr, a predominantly Shia village, on Thursday chanted "The people want to topple the regime" and "Down Hamad", referring to the king, according to the AFP news agency.
An Information Affairs Authority statement said police officers had been on patrol at an eastern entrance to al-Akr at the time of the bombing.
"The patrol unit was attacked by violent rioters and the policemen were subject to assault with petrol bombs and an explosive device," the statement said.
"[Two] officers were taken to hospital. One of the men died this morning while the other remains in critical condition."
An investigation has begun to find those behind the attack.
Bahraini police have been the target of several bombings in the past year. The last such attack took place May, when four policemen were wounded, according to the Reuters news agency.
Colchester Hospital in Essex was put in special measures two years ago.
Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspectors found "consistently... poor and unsafe practices" and believe a "radical solution" is needed.
Colchester's chief executive said the trust would continue to focus on improving patient care and quality.
The hospital will now enter a partnership with Ipswich Hospital to deliver safe care.
The CQC's chief inspector of hospitals, Prof Sir Mike Richards, acknowledged the chief executive of Colchester University NHS Foundation Trust Frank Sims had "only been in post a short time".
Prof Richards said the partnership with Ipswich offered "a better route to bring about the improvements that patients urgently need to see at Colchester".
Patients' group Healthwatch Essex said it was "optimistic" about the partnership, which was the "logical next step".
Mr Sims said: "Improving care and quality to ensure we provide outstanding care, consistently for all patients at all times, will continue to be at the heart of everything we do".
Singhbury's Local in Aylesbury put its orange sign up last year.
Co-owner Inderjit Singh Nagpal said Sainsbury's objected, but he said "Singh" was his middle name, "bury" referred to Aylesbury and the colour orange was important to Sikhs.
Sainsbury's said it contacted the shop after its customers raised "concerns".
The sign was erected early last year but removed from the shop front in October.
A spokeswoman for the supermarket said: "There were no legal proceedings around this but we did contact the owners after customers raised their concerns with us."

Initially Mr Nagpal told the BBC it had been taken down because of water damage. However, he has now said it was because Sainsbury's contacted him.
He said although he was prepared to change the colour of the sign, he would not change the name because he could justify it.
Mr Nagpal said he hoped his legal representatives and Sainsbury's would reach a decision next week.
Marineland was facing 11 charges for its treatment of bears, elk, red deer, guinea hens and a peacock.
The Ontario province attraction had denied all the allegations, maintaining it was the victim of a smear campaign.
Animal rights officials who investigated Marineland expressed dismay at the prosecutors' decision.
Charges were laid in November 2016 and January 2017, after an inquiry by the Ontario Society for the Prevention of the Cruelty to Animals (OSPCA).
The allegations included permitting an animal to be in distress and for failing to provide proper food and standards of care for the animals in question.
No animals were removed from the park.
Marineland welcomed the outcome, saying that it had suffered "baseless accusations by ill-informed, radical activists", as well as reputational damage.
The prosecutor told the OSPCA it could have proceeded on three charges, but it was not in the public interest, said spokesperson Melissa Kosowan.
"We are extremely disappointed in this outcome and feel that this matter is of public interest as all animals rely on humans for appropriate care for their general welfare and the public demands this," Ms Kosowan said.
Marineland told the BBC in November the accusations were made by "a former animal care worker who was fired for poor performance and inappropriate behaviour".
On 30 September 2016, the San Diego Union Tribune made history. For the first time in its 148-year history it endorsed a Democrat candidate, Hillary Clinton.
It was also a first in 126 years for the Arizona Republic.
Donald J Trump was not popular with America's newspapers. Of the 100 top circulation print newspapers, two endorsed him.
More than 200 newspapers supported Clinton, while Trump received the backing of fewer than 20.
And even some of this support was half-hearted, to say the least. The best the Fort Wayne News Sentinel could come up with was "Thank God for Mike Pence".
The Washington Times declared Trump imperfect and acknowledged his "vulgarity and coarseness".
What they did like was the fact that he had "all the right enemies: the pundits, the 'social scientists', the Beltway insiders, the academics and the righteous mongers of failed policies."
His image, they felt, was being painted by a "one-party media".
Trump's victory, then, was a brutal kick in the teeth for those loathed pundits, insiders and "righteous mongers". But it was also a humiliation for the thousands of journalists who had spent months trying to warn the public about Donald J Trump.
This was one almighty, two-fingered salute to much of the "mainstream media".
Prof Jeff Jarvis - of the Tow-Knight Centre for entrepreneurial journalism, City University New York, and an enthusiastic and active supporter of Hillary Clinton - stated it simply.
"The mere fact of Donald Trump's candidacy is evidence of the failure of journalism," he believes.
He, like many other members of the liberal media class, feels Trump's success is a sign that the media failed to communicate the truth with enough force.
He believes equating the issue of Hillary Clinton's email server with all of the criticisms of Donald Trump in the name of balance was misleading.
The frequent comparison is with the climate change debate and the "balance" of expert opinion. A second (liberal) view is that the media gave Trump far too much unfiltered airtime.
Rather than being appalled, large parts of the audience liked what they were watching. In essence, it's felt that print journalism failed to tell the real story - and that TV gave Trump a free pass.
Whether you agree, it assumes two things. First, that the news industry has a moral purpose. Second, that TV is still the most powerful medium.
Whatever you make of the first statement, the second seems to be truer than many of the digital evangelists would have you believe.
In 1968 Roger Ailes, the future boss of Fox News, had a problem: how to get Richard Nixon on television without it being controlled and filtered by what he felt was a hostile media.
His solution was to create his own staged Nixon TV specials and offer them to TV stations. Forty-eight years later, CNN was effectively doing the same for Trump - free of charge.
The enthusiasm for Trump at CNN was simple: ratings. Jeff Zucker, the boss of CNN, is also the man who employed him to present The Apprentice when he worked at NBC.
Zucker, perhaps more than anyone else, turned Trump into a TV star.
Trump's repeated denunciations of CNN following a documentary he felt was deeply flawed rather overlook the success of their relationship. Trump brought CNN ratings in a tough TV market, and he got exposure in return.
No-one knew what he was going to say, so the cameras were never going to cut away. We now have an unpredictable and telegenic president, whom the cameras and ratings will follow wherever he goes.
However, what's strange about Trump's speeches is how much of what he says refers to issues and topics that are not part of the mainstream news agenda.
During the summer of 2016, Donald Trump stated again and again that Hillary Clinton "invented Isis". It's not a claim that receives much support in most newspapers or websites.
On Alex Jones' Infowars site, though, it was big news. The site also features claims that Clinton has a secret "Satanic Network" and has Parkinson's disease, as well as dozens of other conspiracy theories.
Analyse Trump's speeches and there are references to dozens of stories that are dismissed by most mainstream media but have enthusiastic support in the growing world of alternative news sources.
And this "fringe" is generating large amounts of traffic. The online analytics company Tubular Insights identified in the middle of the campaign that when it came to online news, the site creating videos that were generating the greatest levels of engagement (likes, shares etc) was Infowars.
Another star of what has become known as the "alt-right" is Breitbart, a news website with an agenda opposed to anything it deems politically correct or multicultural.
It's Alexa online ranking puts it above the LA Times, the New York Post, Vox, Slate and the New Yorker, not to mention CBS, NBC and ABC's news sites.
If you want to understand how close Breitbart is to Trump, look at Steve Bannon, an executive chairman of Breitbart who became the Trump campaign's chief executive.
Bannon is a former employee of Goldman Sachs and has a Harvard MBA. But politically he is at the heart of the anti-establishment, anti-mainstream media right wing of America.
Bannon is a man who also shares all the right enemies. But how do we know people believe him any more than other parts of the media?
In the midst of the election campaign, the social media analysts Impact Social studied posts on Twitter and other social media platforms in Florida.
Once they'd stripped out the pundits, journalists and the rest of the chattering classes, they saw Trump was well ahead of Clinton when it came to positive comments. This ran counter to the polls, which were giving Clinton a small lead.
Pollsters would dismiss social media as a self-selecting group that doesn't reflect the whole voting population. But it does perhaps give a clue to the emotional impact of a candidate.
Trump was giving people more to talk about and saying it in a way that resonated. When it came to "share of voice" online, he was winning.
The need for headlines that bring clicks and stories that get shared has changed everything. Dull, balanced articles (like this one) don't provoke fury, laughter or much in the way of emotion.
Trump was simply more entertaining and generating more passion. In a news environment moving from a world of subscriptions and long-term appointments-to-view to the vagaries of clicks, friends' recommendations and Facebook news streams, that makes him a winner.

Denbighshire council has found accommodation for 35 people as others made their own arrangements.
ScottishPower says 350 properties are still without electricity.
Rail services are still affected including a section of track along the Dee estuary at Mostyn, Flintshire, where more than 200m of sea wall collapsed onto the line.
About 400 people were forced from their homes after areas along the coast near Rhyl were put on the highest state of flood alert for several hours on Thursday, including Talacre and Bagillt.
Denbighshire council says it is considering whether more investment is needed in the area to prevent the flooding from happening again.
Crews from North Wales Fire and Rescue Service remained at the scene overnight to continue pumping water from flooded streets.
Council workers are now removing debris, empting gullies and cleaning streets around Garford Road.
Thursday's storm and high tides caused flooding along the north Wales coast with Rhyl the worst hit.
Other parts of Britain continue to be affected on Friday.
RNLI volunteers using lifeboats helped rescue at least 25 Rhyl residents as huge storm waves crashed over the sea wall.
Natural Resources Minister Alun Davies, who has been visiting people in the worst affected areas along with Rhyl fire station on Friday, praised the work of the emergency services and the council.
"My heart goes out to the people who have been affected by this," he said.
"We need to understand why the sea defences were overwhelmed yesterday - the primary defences were overwhelmed and secondary defences breached.
"We need to understand why that happened as when we make further investments in flood defences here or anywhere else, we can make the sort of investments that make people safe."
An information centre at the community fire station will remain open over the weekend giving advice on housing and welfare issues and volunteers from the Red Cross will also be available.
"We need to make sure that people have access to the right information, at the right time and in the right place," said Councillor David Smith, Denbighshire's cabinet lead member for environment.
"Those affected by flooding will now be thinking about the future and they will have a lot of questions about health and welfare issues."
Network Rail says the line between Chester and Rhyl will be closed until Tuesday because of severe damage to the flood wall at Mostyn.
Hourly services each way will run between Rhyl and Holyhead in both directions and buses will operate at the other end.
The line between Llandudno Junction and Llanrwst has also been significantly affected by the tidal surge and it is unlikely to reopen until Thursday or Friday next week.
Part of the A548 Rhyl Coast Road has been closed.
North Wales Police say extra patrols will remain in force to police properties affected by flooding.
Emyr Roberts, chief executive of Natural Resources Wales, said: "The combination of high tides and gale force winds yesterday caused the highest tides we have seen for more than 20 years.
"We are now focussing on supporting the communities affected, the emergency services and the local authority to help the area recover."
Peter Fletcher and Clair Diamond, originally from Derby, said they were "petrified" when the impact left their home falling down around them.
The couple and their 13-year-old son were rescued by neighbours after four days with no heating or electricity.
They said the ordeal had left them too frightened to return to Italy.
The quake, earlier this month, followed four days of heavy snow that knocked out power and phone lines and left 6ft (1.8m) accumulations at their rural home near the eastern Italian town of Arsita.
Mr Fletcher said: "We took photos as the snow was falling and it was a fun thing, but when you can't look out of your front window and see daylight because of the snow, it's frightening."
The quake's impact brought down a barn, killing their pet dog, and left a hole in their roof.
The family knew they had to get away but were faced with a wall of snow when they tried to leave.
Miss Diamond said: "It was sheer panic. If we get stuck in our [mile-and-half-long] drive, nobody's going to know we were there.
"But if we stay in the house, we've got no way to stay warm, with no power or wood [to burn]."
The terrified family huddled in a corner of the house overnight and were rescued the next day by a neighbour.
Having returned to the UK, the family are staying with Mrs Fletcher's parents in Lincolnshire and have no plans to return to Italy.
Mr Fletcher said: "We thought we'd bought a piece of paradise but when the earthquake was shaking and we knew we couldn't get out, that was our worst nightmare.
"We can't possibly go back. We're frightened to death to go back."
After an early exchange of penalties from Ruaridh Jackson and returning Leinster fly-half Johnny Sexton, two-time champions Wasps took charge.
Christian Wade went over before the break and Joe Simpson crossed under the posts to give them a 17-point lead.
Wasps kept their Irish opponents at bay in the second half and scored a late third try through Charles Piutau.
It gave the English side victory in the only Pool Five fixture played on the competition's opening weekend. Holders Toulon's group opener against Bath was postponed after the terrorist attacks in Paris on Friday.
Wasps had failed to beat Leinster when they met in the group stages of the competition last season, but were in control this time round as their Dublin-based opponents suffered their heaviest European home defeat.
Jackson and Sexton were both fighting a strong cross-wind as they scored twice each from the tee to make it 6-6, and it fell to England prospect Elliot Daly to land a penalty from 50 metres out to give Wasps a narrow advantage.
The visitors then scored the first of their three tries when Simpson's speculative cross-field kick bounced awkwardly beyond Dave Kearney, and Wade was on hand to collect and pounce.
Having lost both Richardt Strauss and Sean O'Brien to concussion, Leinster fell further behind as Simpson broke the defence and sprinted under the posts, having been sent on his way thanks to a bulldozing run from Frank Halai.
Jackson, who converted both tries, added another penalty to make it 26-6 and while the Irish province attempted to find a way back, Wasps' defence held strong.
And the Coventry-based side grabbed a third try at the finish when Piutau touched down over team-mate Sailosi Tagicakibau, who had been halted just short of the line.
Wasps lock Joe Launchbury told BBC Radio 5 live: "We had the confidence to come here and play and you saw that in large parts today.
"I've been here a few years now and that's up there with the best, if not the best, win I've been in.
"We've been through some tough times but when I signed I could see the vision of the club and I've believed in it for a long time.
"Hopefully if we keep these sort of results going, we'll start to get noticed."

As with the wars in the Middle East, Afghanistan highlights the difficult political choices and counter-insurgency strategies the US has been pursuing fruitlessly since 9/11. Today six Muslim countries (Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Libya, Somalia and Afghanistan) are in a state of meltdown - partly as a result of US policies.
The "war on terror" launched by President George Bush, the US invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, and the conflicting policies of carrying out regime change in the midst of an ever-expanding Islamist extremist opposition have all created greater dilemmas for the US.
Since 9/11 there have been many good books and documentary films made about these dilemmas. Yet in all this time Hollywood has been unable to produce a movie that informs or educates the average movie-goer as to the bigger picture on why failure persists and jihadism spreads.
The few Hollywood films made about America's wars tend to be either satires or action movies in the John Wayne mould, showing US troops as heroic and caring but professional killers.
An exception was the 2008 film Hurt Locker, which won six Oscars and depicted the dilemmas faced by a US Explosive Ordinance Disposal unit in Iraq. But even Hurt Locker dealt with only a slice of the problem, as did otherwise well-made documentaries about US forces in Afghanistan such as Restrepo and Korengal.
Hollywood movies do not ask the difficult strategic questions.
Should the US invade or interfere in countries it knows little about, how do US troops win over local support, is nation building and promotion of democracy feasible by one part of the US government while another part pursues a war strategy? Can the US ever understand tribal societies through the barrel of a gun?
Hollywood has left us devoid of any understanding of the escalating global chaos.
That is until now. A remarkable new film, War Machine starring Brad Pitt, which at first whiff sounds like a gonzo-type war movie, brilliantly portrays these themes outlined above. David Michod, the Australian writer and director, and Netflix have made a movie that is both dark and satirical, emotional and belly-laugh funny, as well as being educative about US interventions.
The script is based on the Rolling Stone magazine article and subsequent book The Operators: The Wild and Terrifying Inside Story of America's War in Afghanistan, by the late journalist Michael Hastings.
His article led to the 2010 sacking of Stanley McChrystal, the US general in charge of the war in Afghanistan, after he and his staff officers made disparaging remarks about President Barack Obama to the journalist. The movie tells the story leading up to Gen McChrystal's dismissal.
The casting of Pitt as Gen Glen McMahon, the imagined McChrystal who is beloved by his men but also full of comic eccentrics, is near perfect. Pitt plays his role partly as absurdist comedy but also as someone who is on a steep learning curve on how to win or lose modern wars.
Full of bluster and self confidence Gen McMahon arrives to take charge in Kabul after another general had failed. "Let's go win this thing," and "Let's knock this on the head," he tells his military aides - a coterie of equally brilliant actors whose cameos act as foils for Gen McMahon's slow realisation that he is only repeating what other generals before him have tried and failed to do.
Gen McMahon cannot get the additional US troops he needs because Mr Obama is reluctant to send any. Gen McMahon cannot stop Afghan farmers from growing poppy because, officials tell him alternative crops like cotton would be competing with US farmers.
Fellow Nato officers teach Gen McMahon a new reality. "You can't build a nation at gunpoint" and "you can't win the trust of a country by invading it", he is told.
A cynical President Hamid Karzai, superbly played by Ben Kingsley (with all of Mr Karzai's habitual tics), hears out Gen McMahon describing how he will mark out a new direction. "We will build Afghanistan into a free and prosperous nation," says Gen McMahon. "Sounds a lot like the old direction," Mr Karzai replies with a knowing smile.
Several dark yet truthful encounters speed up Gen McMahon's understanding. A troubled and angry US marine played by Lakeith Stanfield questions how his contradictory strategy can work. Trained to kill, the marines is now told he must show "courageous restraint".
"I can't tell the difference between the people and the enemy," says the marine. "They all look alike to me. We can't help them and kill them at the same time. I am confused," he states.
Actress Tilda Swinton, playing a German politician, tells Gen McMahon that "you are spread all over the country and fighting 1,000 separate battles with local people who don't want you in their villages and that is a war you will never win". The general is gobsmacked into silence.
The film will not get a wide cinema release because it is showing on Netflix. However, this is a film that should particularly be shown at universities and colleges, and discussed amongst young and old.
It helps us understand why counter-insurgency is failing, terrorism expanding and why wars have destroyed so many countries. It helps explain why after 16 years Washington is still debating troop numbers.

On 1 June it was upgraded from the MSCI Frontier Markets Index and moved into the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, which was a "huge boost to its ego" as one analyst told me and a "reputational boost" for the whole country.
In the lead-up to the inclusion, investors poured into Pakistan. At one point in May, Pakistani shares hit a record high.
But on the day itself, shares fell by a record too. Over the course of last week, the Pakistani stock exchange dropped by almost 8%.
It is important to note that shares go up and shares go down. And often people sell because other people are selling. That's the nature of investing in the stock market.
And by any account, the Pakistani stock market is a volatile one as I previously said.
There were, however, some other important reasons why shares fell as much as they did.
Firstly, Pakistan was upgraded from the Frontier Markets Index to get into the Emerging Markets Index.
In order for this to happen, it had to exit the Frontier Markets Index, and all funds that own shares in that index also have to exit. They don't necessarily have to buy straight back into the Emerging Markets Index either.
Foreign funds were the main ones selling out of Pakistan according to analysts, and were one of the key reasons why shares fell by as much as they did.
Some $500m worth of shares were sold last Wednesday, the day before the MSCI inclusion, in comparison to $450m of foreign funds coming into the country to buy shares.
Profit-taking was also a factor. In the lead-up to the MSCI inclusion, foreign and domestic investors had been showing more enthusiasm for Pakistan shares. But then some sold at a premium, making a tidy profit.
And finally, uncertainty surrounds the new Pakistan budget and what that means for domestic investors. The prospect of higher tax rates on dividends doled out by corporates and mutual funds has perhaps dampened enthusiasm.
Still, Pakistan was Asia's best-performing market in 2016 and one of the best regional growth stories. The government will need to ensure that the country's moment in the sun doesn't fade even before it began.
The draft law calls for a new system to vet the vast market in euro-denominated derivatives following the UK's exit from the European Union.
Currently London is the undisputed market leader in the sector.
It processes three quarters of the vast trade, supporting thousands of jobs.
Concerns that the UK should still have a such an important role when it will no longer be covered by European Union rules have prompted the review.
The draft law would enable the EU, as a last resort, to shift euro-denominated clearing transactions from London to the continent. It would only do this if it thinks such dealings pose a risk to EU financial stability.
We take a look at what this means for London.
Long considered the unglamorous "plumbing" of financial services, clearing is the process by which a third party organisation acts as the middleman for both buyer and seller of financial contracts tied to the underlying value of a share, index, currency or bond.
Buyers and sellers deal with the clearing "house" rather than each other which centralises everything and makes the whole complex business easier and quicker.
Crucially, clearing houses also bear the risks if one side of the transaction doesn't pay up.
In return for that risk, buyers and sellers have to keep money in a special account with the clearing house in case there are problems. The more business you do with them, the less money proportionately of your trading volumes you need to keep in that account.
This structure aims to reduce the dangers of a domino-effect of a debt default spreading across the system.
It also means that bigger clearing houses are cheaper for their customers.
Very. London is the world leader for the clearing of all types of currency-denominated derivatives including the euro.
The London Clearing House (LCH), which is part of the London Stock Exchange, says it clears a whopping 927bn euros-worth of euro-denominated contracts a day, this is some three quarters of the global market.
In contrast, Paris the second-biggest operator in the sector, clears just 11% of the transactions.
Fair question. But thanks partly to the widespread acceptance of English law and language and the City's financial power it's managed to corner the market.
This hasn't stopped the European Union trying to get some of this lucrative market. Rival financial centres like Frankfurt and Paris would love to get their hands on the business and the jobs that would bring.
In fact, in 2011 the European Central Bank in Frankfurt tried to insist that all euro trades were done inside the eurozone.
However it was overruled by the European Court of Justice which said the European Central Bank didn't have the legal power to do this.
The UK, which brought the case, also argued that this would discriminate against non-eurozone countries who are part of the EU. Once the UK is outside the EU that defence would obviously no longer work.
Critics say insisting euro-denominated transactions are conducted in the eurozone would create a fragmented and less competitive market which would lead to higher costs for European customers.
The London Stock Exchange says a smaller domestic pool of trading would make trades less efficient. It argues it would also be harder for the members of a smaller pool to absorb any losses and says risk would therefore increase not decrease.
LSE chief executive Xavier Rolet says in total a move could cost investors 100bn euros (£83bn) over five years.
A defeat for London still might not be a victory for the EU. Some euro clearing also happens in the US and many think that the way firms will minimise the cost of disruption and fragmentation will be to do their business in New York which has the scale to offer similar efficiencies to London.
An independent report conducted by EY for the London Stock Exchange last autumn said up to 83,000 clearing jobs could be lost in a worst-case scenario over the next seven years.
And Mr Rolet warned last year that at least 100,000 UK jobs would be at risk - in areas such as risk management, compliance, middle office and back-office support functions.
However, the LSE says that relocation would have little financial impact as LCH has a clearing house in Paris that is fully authorised under EU rules.
The Dane crashed in Belgium on Sunday at the exit of the 180mph Eau Rouge/Raidillon corner.
He was taken to hospital with an ankle injury but was released the same day.
The 23-year-old needed to pass a final FIA fitness test ahead of the race at Monza and Renault tweeted on Thursday that he was "all clear to race".
"I'm feeling much better, which is very good news," Magnussen said earlier in the week.
"I've had several checks that show I am fit to race in Monza and I am sure I will be in the car this weekend.
"We were running in the top 10 in Belgium and I'm very motivated to repeat this again in Italy."
Most people suffered minor injuries but La Stampa said (in Italian) two people were trapped in the crash.
Rome's councillor for transport, Guido Improta, has reportedly blamed the incident on "human error".
The collision happened at the Palasport station in the Eur district, a business and residential district in the south of the Italian capital.
"There are 12 people injured but none are emergency patients," Mr Improta said, according to the Ansa news agency.
"Now the dynamics of what happened have to be worked out. It's certainly bizarre. There was certainly a human error."
A woman was killed and more than 100 people injured in a collision between two subway trains in 2006 at the Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II station in Rome.
Mr Molins told a news conference the crime had been planned for months.
He said one of the suspects had filmed the scene of the attack the day after.
All five are facing preliminary terrorism charges for their alleged roles in helping Lahouaiej-Bouhlel, a Tunisian living in Nice.
The four men and one woman aged between 22 and 40 are due to appear in court shortly.
They include an Albanian couple suspected of providing Lahouaiej-Bouhlel with a pistol.
Another of the suspects is a 22-year-old man believed to have received text messages from Lahouaiej-Bouhlel on the night of the attack, discussing the supply of weapons.
Police found a Kalashnikov rifle and ammunition at the man's home, AFP news agency reports.
Like Lahouaiej-Bouhlel, none of those detained were known to French intelligence prior to the attack.
Mr Molins said information from Lahouaiej-Bouhlel's phone showed searches and photos that indicated he had been studying an attack since 2015.
The so-called Islamic State group said Lahouaiej-Bouhlel was one of its "soldiers" - but the lorry driver had not been on any French police watch list.
As the Bastille Day crowd enjoyed festivities on Nice's Promenade des Anglais, Lahouaiej-Bouhlel careered his large white lorry towards them.
Two police officers opened fire when he mounted the kerb, but he simply accelerated and then zigzagged for up to 2km (1.25 miles), leaving a trail of carnage.
Police finally managed to bring the lorry to a halt, raking the driver's cabin with gunfire and killing Lahouaiej-Bouhlel.
France has extended its state of emergency until the end of January 2017. It gives the police extra powers to carry out searches and to place people under house arrest.
The government has also launched an inquiry into police actions in Nice on 14 July, amid claims that there were too few police to block a lorry that killed 84 people.
Just one local police car was on duty at the point where the lorry careered onto the pedestrian promenade, the daily Liberation reported.
The local police had neither enough time nor firepower to stop the lorry, it said.
That version of events was disputed by Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve.
He said Liberation was referring to a separate, local police roadblock that was diverting traffic. The main roadblock at the start of the promenade was manned by six national police officers, who were "the first to confront the deadly lorry", he said, adding that two police cars of the national police were stationed there.
The share offering would be India's largest since 2012.
Owned by InterGlobe Aviation, IndiGo is the country's largest domestic airline by market share.
The public offer is set to open on Tuesday and close on 29 October.
It proposed to list on the Bombay Stock Exchange and the National Stock Exchange of India.
Global coordinators of the share sale include JP Morgan, Barclays and UBS, according to the firm's preliminary prospectus filed in June.
The firm warned in its initial prospectus that there was "no assurance that the new routes which we expand into will be profitable or become profitable."
IndiGo's international destinations currently include Singapore, Dubai and Bangkok and consultancy firm Centre of Aviation (CAPA) said it has been the only consistently profitable carrier in the country for the past seven years.
IndiGo said it may not be able to successfully implement its planned expansion of its route network "due to factors beyond our control" - including economic, political and business conditions.
Analysis: By Simon Atkinson, BBC Mumbai
From its inflight magazine named after the airline code - called Hello 6E (think about it) - to the novelty packaging for snacks, IndiGo is trying to stand out from its rivals.
And the unusual policy of forcing female cabin crew to wear a wig if their hair doesn't meet the airline style never stops being a bit weird.
But for investors, what appeals about IndiGo is that it is profit-making, with big expansion plans: hundreds of new Airbus planes on order to meet future demand from the growing number of Indians who can afford and want to fly.
In August this year the budget airline finalised a deal with Airbus to buy 250 A320neo aircraft.
The deal followed a series of orders Indigo has placed with Airbus, as it continues to win a bigger share of India's fast growing aviation market.
The agreement was Airbus' single largest order by number of aircraft and was worth a $26.5bn (£17bn) at list prices.
IndiGo was founded in 2006 by travel entrepreneur Rahul Bhatia and Rakesh Gangwal, a former chief executive of US Airways.
Turkey's military said the soldiers had been targeted in a Syrian government air strike on Thursday, during an offensive by Turkish-backed rebels against so-called Islamic State.
However, a Syrian monitoring group said the deaths were caused by a suicide bomb attack on Wednesday claimed by IS.
Meanwhile a member of the US military has died while fighting against IS.
The soldier, who has not been named, died from wounds caused by an improvised explosive device in Ayn Issa, north of the IS stronghold Raqqa.
Officials gave no other information. It is not clear whether this was linked to the deaths of the Turkish soldiers.
Syria's military has not yet commented on the fate of the Turkish soldiers.
It would be the first time Turkish soldiers have been killed by Syrian government forces in the offensive, which Damascus has denounced as a "flagrant violation of Syrian sovereignty".
Dubbed Operation Euphrates Shield, the offensive was launched three months ago with the aim of pushing IS militants away from the Turkish border.
The Turkish government also wants to contain US-backed Syrian Kurdish Popular Protection Units (YPG) militia, which it says is an extension of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) in Turkey.
So far, the rebels have driven IS militants out of more than 1,800 sq km (694 sq miles) of territory, according to the Turkish military, and recaptured the key border town of Jarablus and the symbolically important village of Dabiq.
They are now besieging the town of al-Bab, the last IS stronghold in Aleppo province.
The Turkish military statement said the soldiers who were killed were deployed in northern Syria when they were targeted at about 03:30 (00:30 GMT) in an air strike that it "assessed to have been carried out by Syrian regime forces".
It did not give an exact location, but the state-run Anadolu news agency reported that it was close to al-Bab.
The dead and injured soldiers, one of whom was said to be in a critical condition, were taken to hospitals in the southern Turkish provinces of Kilis and Gaziantep.
Later on Thursday, the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights disputed the Turkish military's account, saying the soldiers had been killed an IS suicide bombing on Wednesday near the village of Waqqah, north-west of al-Bab.
IS also issued a statement saying it had carried out a suicide bombing on a Turkish army position near Waqqah on Wednesday evening that caused an unspecified number of casualties.
Its self-styled news agency, Amaq, released video footage of the attack showing an explosives-filled armoured vehicle driving towards the frontline and then exploding.
The three deaths mean that at least 15 Turkish soldiers have been killed since Operation Euphrates Shield began, according to AFP news agency. Most died in clashes with IS, but one was killed in an attack blamed on the YPG.
Two leading newspapers had been forced to remove reports of messages exchanged between Marcela Temer and a man convicted of hacking her mobile phone.
The hacker demanded money for withholding information.
The judge said the news blackout violated freedom of speech.
The two newspapers, O Globo and Folha de Sao Paulo, said the documents had already been published in court and that forbidding their publication amounted to censorship.
"There is no indication that the journalistic activity on the part of Folha was meant to follow an irresponsible or abusive editorial line," judge Arnoldo Camanho ruled.
The hacker, Silvonei Jose de Jesus Souza, was sentenced in October to nearly six years in jail for extortion and larceny.
He had demanded nearly $100,000 (£80,000) from Mrs Temer in return for not publishing video, audio and pictures from her smart phone.
In one message, he told her that a video hacked from the phone could drag President Temer's name into the mud.
Mr Temer has been implicated in the huge corruption scandal involving the state oil company, Petrobras.
His name has been mentioned by executives of the the country's biggest building company, Odebrecht, which paid bribes to politicians and senior officers to wind contracts.
Mr Temer denies any wrongdoing.
He was also criticised for his alleged role in the impeachment of President Dilma Rousseff last year.
Mr Temer replaced Ms Rousseff in May when she was suspended by Congress for budget irregularities.
He was sworn in to finish off her term when she was dismissed by Congress in September.
Ms Rousseff said she was the victim of a political coup and accused Mr Temer of joining the plot against her.
It is the only Scottish university to become a government-approved centre of excellence.
It will specialise in developing the latest cyber security techniques.
Cabinet Office Minister Ben Gummer said the research at Edinburgh and other centres, worth £1.9bn, would help the country develop the skills to tackle a growing threat.
Mr Gummer, said: "This government is determined to make the UK the safest place in the world to live, work and do business online.
"That is why we need truly ground-breaking research to stay one step ahead of the growing threat of cyber attacks. I am pleased to announce the University of Edinburgh as the latest academic institution to contribute their expertise to this vital field, joining 13 other universities from around the country.
"By engaging with business, industry and academia, we will ensure that we develop the skills and research we need to tackle this growing threat to the UK."
Chris Ensor, deputy director for cyber security skills and growth at the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), said: "It's fantastic to see so many leading universities committed to trailblazing improvements to the UK's cyber security research, and it is particularly good to see Scotland represented for the first time."
He added: "At the NCSC, we are absolutely committed to maintaining and improving our already strong reputation as a global leader in cutting-edge research, and look forward to collaborating with these establishments to make the UK the safest place to live and work online.
"These universities conduct world-class cyber security research and this initiative will improve the way academics, government and business work together - benefiting the whole of the country."
Prof David Aspinall, of Edinburgh University's school of informatics, said: "Cyber security and privacy is now an essential aspect of modern life which impacts the technology we see and use, as well as the behind-the-scenes technology we rely on that supports the physical and virtual infrastructures.
"Our recognition as a centre of excellence will bring fresh impetus to our research, to help make the digital world safer for everyone."

One speaker said the SNP was the "party of compassion" and she urged the conference to back the resolution.
Another delegate said now was not the time to decriminalise cannabis and to audience boos she asked fellow party members to reject the call for change.
Police and mountain rescue teams were leading a search for Bishopbriggs man Daniel Bennett, 43, who was last seen in Tyndrum on Saturday.
Officers found the body of a man in the area of Ben Oss on Tuesday afternoon.
No identification has yet been made, but Mr Bennett's family are being kept informed of developments.
A large-scale search of the area was mounted after Mr Bennett, who works as a software developer at Durham University, failed to get in touch with friends or family. He was last seen at the Green Welly Stop in Tyndrum at midday on Saturday.
Police Scotland officers were joined by the Search and Rescue Dogs Association Team and mountain rescue teams from Killin, Lomond, Tayside, Arrochar, and the RAF.
Rangers said the number of people not clearing up after their dogs at Holyrood Park had soared in recent months, prompting them to take action.
They said the paint was eco-friendly and was a way of highlighting the issue to pet owners.
Dog fouling is an offence, with a fixed penalty of £80.
James Hamilton, senior ranger at Holyrood Park, said: The ranger service has noticed an increase in the volume of people not clearing up after their dogs.
"Our job is to protect the park and make it welcoming for all users.
"We have undertaken an initiative spraying uncollected dog waste with eco-friendly paint to highlight the issue.
"The ranger service has also put up information signs to inform the public of what we are doing and highlighting the bin locations.
"We are also providing free dog waste bags.
"This method has had a positive effect in parks and green spaces up and down the country, so we're confident it will have a similar outcome here in Holyrood Park."
Dr Kate Granger set about fundraising for the Yorkshire Cancer Centre after being diagnosed with a rare form of cancer in 2011.
Her husband Chris Pointon announced her death on social media.
He said the 34-year-old died on Saturday "peacefully & surrounded by loved ones". He added: "RIP my soul mate & TY. Love u 4ever."
Dr Granger, who had been receiving care at St Gemma's Hospice in Leeds, achieved her fundraising target just three days ago.
Dr Granger, from East Ardsley near Leeds, had also tried to improve the way doctors and nurses speak to patients by launching the "Hello my name is..." campaign.
She had previously described how the doctor who informed her that her cancer had spread did not introduce himself to her, and did not look her in the eye.
The campaign went on to win the backing of more than 400,000 doctors, nurses, therapists and porters across 90 NHS organisations.
Moscow says it is targeting Islamic State and other Islamist positions, but US-led allies and Turkey say government opponents are targeted.
Turkish F-16 fighter jets were scrambled after a Russian plane entered Turkey's air space on Saturday.
Russia said the violation was for just a few seconds and due to poor weather.
Saturday's interception took place near Yayladagi in the southern Hatay region, Turkey says. The foreign ministry in Ankara said it had summoned the Russian ambassador to issue a "strong protest".
Turkish jets patrolling the border were also "harassed" by an unidentified plane on Sunday, Turkey said.
A statement by Nato's 28 members, that include Turkey, warned of "the extreme danger of such irresponsible behaviour" and urged Russia "to cease and desist".
US Secretary of State John Kerry said Turkey would have been within its rights to shoot the jets down.

"The Turkish Armed Forces are clearly instructed," Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu told Turkish TV. "Even if it is a flying bird, it will be intercepted."
But he played down the possibility of a "Turkey-Russia crisis", saying that channels between the two countries remained open.
The Russian air campaign began on Wednesday, with Moscow saying it was targeting IS positions and those of other Islamist groups. Syria said on Monday that the air strikes had been planned for months.
The country's Defence Ministry said 10 targets had been hit during the course of 15 strikes on Monday. Among the targets Russia said it destroyed were:
Mr Putin has denied that civilians have been killed in the past week, but evidence on the ground has indicated otherwise.
Turkey and other members of the US-led coalition in Syria say the principal target is in fact the Syrian opposition groups fighting President Assad.
Nato said Russian air strikes did not target IS positions, but said it should "focus its efforts" on doing so.
Moscow has not responded to Nato's comments. But earlier on Monday, Vladimir Komoyedov, the head of the Russian government's defence committee, said Russia had not ruled out attacking rebel positions using warships.
The RIA Novosti agency quoted him as saying ships were "prepared" but that an imminent assault was unlikely as rebels were too far inland.
Interfax reports (in Russian) that two more Russian military ships are on their way to the eastern Mediterranean.
The Russian incursion into Turkish air space has set alarm bells ringing in Nato with Alliance ambassadors describing it as "irresponsible behaviour".
The US Secretary of State John Kerry has also expressed his concern, noting that this is "precisely the kind of thing" Washington warned about in pressing Russia for talks to avoid mid-air incidents.
Turkish jets shot down a Syrian Mig-fighter in March of last year. Another Syrian aircraft, possibly a helicopter, was shot down last May.
Nato has called on Russia to "take all necessary measures" to ensure that such violations do not take place in the future. American sources claim that, far from being an accident, the Russian pilots knew exactly what they were doing.
As the Russian air campaign moves into a higher gear, this episode illustrates some of the wider dangers involved.
The American was one of four riders to fall at the opening bend in Valencia on 7 November.
The Ducati rider, world title winner in 2006, had a screw inserted into his fractured scaphoid bone during surgery in California.
"Everything went pretty smoothly," Hayden said.
After wearing a brace and using a bone stimulator for four weeks, Hayden will have his wrist X-rayed again to assess its condition.
"The scaphoid is a slow-healing bone, so you don't want to wait only to find out in January that it's not healing correctly.
"I'm happy to get it fixed right so that I'll be ready to go when I need to be," he added.
Hayden expects to be fit for the first day of 2012 testing at the Sepang circuit in Malaysia on 31 January.
But the body that represents senior Irish police officers wants the Irish government to appoint a High Court judge instead.
Sergeant Michael Galvin, based in Donegal, killed himself at Ballyshannon police station on 28 May.
He was being investigated by the police ombudsman over his statement about a woman's death in a traffic accident.
The Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission (GSOC) has now said it is conducting a review into both his death and the initial GSOC investigation of which he was the focus.
However, the Association of Garda Sergeants and Inspectors (AGSI) wants an independent investigation by a judge.
Sgt Galvin was a father of three and was a hurler, footballer and coach with his native Sligo. He was buried in Manorhamilton on Sunday.
In a statement on Tuesday, the AGSI said Sgt Galvin had not been aware he had been cleared of any wrongdoing by the ombudsman when he took his life.
The association called the investigation "heavy-handed" and said he had spent 10 weeks in dread when he had done nothing wrong.
General Secretary of the AGSI John Redmond said the Galvin family were devastated and had no confidence in the GSOC.
Speaking on Irish broadcaster RTÉ's Morning Ireland on Wednesday, Kieran Fitzgerald, GSOC, said the sergeant's death had been referred to them by the Garda Commissioner last week.
He said that on 27 May, the watchdog had concluded its investigation into the allegations concerning Sgt Galvin and had found no evidence to support wrongdoing.
Mr Fitzgerald said these inquiries were normally forwarded to the Director of Public Prosecutions, but he said the DPP would not be bound by the ombudsman's findings.
The GSOC greatly regretted the tragic death of Sgt Galvin, he said.
"The original matter, which we were investigating, was the death of a young lady in Donegal.
"The gardaí were the last people to interact with that lady. So the Garda Commissioner referred the matter to us for investigation under the law and that is appropriate and right.
"I think people being investigated by gardaí can find it intimidating. But I would imagine that most gardaí are well used to that environment and used to answering questions," he said.
"I think it is right and proper and where we are investigating fatal incidents that we do ask appropriate questions to clarify circumstances."
He said that they have started to activate an external process to ensure there was some review of GSOC's relationship with Sgt Galvin because it is a factor in this particular investigation.
Sunday's race will be only the third time in 163 years that the women's competition is raced on the same day and stretch of water as the men.
Te Water Naude, 20, will row for Oxford in the four and quarter mile course.
"It's a big deal, especially the women on the tideway. It sets a precedent for other women's sports," she said.
She continued: "I watched the Boat Race on TV when I was little and I had no idea there was a women's race until I was much older.
"I hope that girls and women watching it are inspired to take up more sport and enjoy it. Part of this whole thing is enjoying the process and how long it takes to build up to this one day."
Media playback is not supported on this device
26-year-old Josh Bugajski, a third year Oncology master's student whose mother is Welsh, says representing Oxford is a momentous achievement in one of the world's signature sporting events.
"It is probably the biggest event imaginable for many rowers. I know the Olympics are put forward as the biggest in the world but I think for many people who are in the Boat Race, this can almost overshadow getting an Olympic medal," he said.
"We are billed as having trained for the last seven months but in reality there are guys who have trained for years for this one race.
"It's nice to know if you are involved in a Boat Race and especially if you win a Boat Race, your name will be carved into history and it will be there for as long as the race carries on for.
"Because of the attractiveness of the race it has brought in really top end rowers.
"That does mean the race is generally of a very high standard.
"It's very comparable to international racing. Just the prowess of it means it's a very attractive race to be part of."
The broadcaster will now broadcast the BGT final at 19:30 BST on Saturday, when it was originally due to show the British Soap Awards.
A spokesman said ITV had "no desire to distract from the important cause" Grande's concert is raising money for.
ITV will instead broadcast the British Soap Awards on Tuesday at 20:00 BST.
Grande's One Love Manchester concert, which will be broadcast on BBC One, will raise money for those affected by the suicide bombing last Monday which left 22 people dead.
The gig, which takes place at the Emirates Old Trafford stadium, will feature Katy Perry, Coldplay, Miley Cyrus, Take That and Usher.
The Black Eyed Peas have also just been added to the line-up.
ITV 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.
"We 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."

In a statement, St Mary's Episcopal Cathedral said it had received a number of "offensive messages on Facebook and other platforms".
It added that they had been reported to Police Scotland and they were grateful for the support of the force.
Police Scotland confirmed that officers were investigating the messages.
A spokeswoman said: "Police Scotland will not tolerate any form of hate and encourages all communities to take action to ensure no-one feels threatened or marginalised."
Earlier this week, the senior clergyman at the cathedral defended the use of the Koran during the service which took place over Christmas.
The cathedral had been criticised because the verses that were read contradict Christian teaching about Jesus.
The Very Rev Kelvin Holdsworth said the reading was part of efforts to build relationships between Christians and Muslims in Glasgow.
He said: "Such readings have happened a number of times in the past in this and in other churches and have led to deepening friendships locally, to greater awareness of the things we hold in common and to dialogue about the ways in which we differ."
Ofcom said it received 459 complaints following Sunday's broadcast.
The show, which stars Richard E Grant and Tom Bateman, is a 10-part series written by Charlie Higson.
Ofcom said it would look at whether it was appropriately scheduled for a time when young children would be watching.
"We are opening an investigation into whether the programme complied with our rules on appropriate scheduling and violent content before the watershed," it said in a statement.
It said it had been powerless to force ITV to move the show before it aired and can only react retrospectively.
ITV confirmed it would be sticking with its early evening timeslot, although its move to a slightly later 19:00 slot had already been scheduled before the complaints.
The channel's own warning on its catch-up ITV Player service offers guidance that it "includes some violence and scenes that some younger children may find scary".
Responding to criticism on Twitter, Higson said: "We can't protect our children from being scared but we can prepare them for it by exposing them to harmless scares so they learn how to cope."
He added: "Shows shown after 9 look a lot more like The Walking Dead than our gore-free entertainment. This is a show for the whole family."

Organiser have been unable to secure the continued use of the site's venue in Ullapool.
The 2017 festival, which will be its 13th year, will be held on the town's pier with support from Ullapool Harbour Trustees.
Organisers said this will mean the event will no longer offer a campsite and tickets will be restricted.
Dates for next year's event are 29 and 30 September.
Over the last 12 years, Loopallu's performers have included Paolo Nutini, Franz Ferdinand, Mumford and Sons and Jake Bugg.
This year's festival's headliners included The Wonder Stuff and The Stranglers.
The charity said their camera recorded evidence indicating the hen harrier was shot at Cabrach in June 2013.
Stanley Gordon denied illegally killing the bird of prey.
The Crown Office said it had been concluded that the evidence would not be admissible in court.
Duncan Orr-Ewing, head of species and land management at RSPB Scotland, said: "RSPB video evidence has been used in the successful prosecution of previous wildlife crime cases in Scotland.
"We are appalled and extremely frustrated that the court has not been given the opportunity to give a judgement based on this footage, and we are perplexed by the inconsistency in approach to these cases that seems to be taken by the Crown Office.
"We have written to the Lord Advocate and will be seeking urgent meetings with the Crown Office to consider the implications."
A Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS) spokesman said: "In accordance with the Crown's ongoing duty to keep prosecutions under review and after carrying out a detailed review of all of the relevant material, Crown counsel considered that the inevitable conclusion was that RSPB investigators entered the land in question and embarked upon evidence gathering for the purpose of prosecution.
"Discussions have taken place over a number of years between RSPB and COPFS about the admissibility of evidence obtained through the use of covert surveillance.
"The Crown has consistently made it clear that strict legal tests must be met before evidence which has been obtained irregularly, such as the evidence in this case, is admissible. We will continue to have further dialogue with RSPB.
"In the whole circumstances, Crown counsel concluded that the evidence would not be admissible in court.
"In light of that conclusion it was entirely appropriate that proceedings were brought to an end."
Reacting to the Crown Office statement, Ian Thomson - RSPB Scotland's head of investigations - said: "We do not agree with the opinion from the Crown Office that we were attempting to gather evidence for a prosecution.
"We installed a camera to monitor a protected breeding bird's nest site, core business for a conservation organisation."
A spokesman for the Scottish Gamekeepers Association said: "The SGA has no membership interest in this case. It is not our place to comment, therefore, on individuals involved in the alleged incident or to provide a critique of COPFS.
"That is a matter for the various different interests involved in wildlife crime investigations. We trust that, had the evidence gathered been considered satisfactory by the appropriate authority, due process would have followed."
He added: "The SGA has a clear message on wildlife crime. Any member convicted of a wildlife crime is removed from the organisation immediately. The SGA advocates solely legal methods for tackling species conflicts."
The generating unit at the Bushehr reactor was brought up to the "minimum controllable level of power" on Sunday.
"This is one of the final stages in the physical launch of the reactor," said Vladislav Bochkov, a spokesman for the Russian company Atomstroyexport.
Israel and other nations have expressed fears that the reactor could help Iran develop nuclear weapons.
In February, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said it had new information on "possible military dimensions" to Iran's nuclear plans.
But Tehran says its intentions are purely peaceful.
On Monday, a member of an Iranian parliamentary commission monitoring Bushehr said "final tests" were being conducted.
The following day, Atomstroyexport said it had launched "a self-supporting chain reaction" in the "active zone" of the plant's first reactor.
"This means that a nuclear reaction has begun," it said.
Iran's Fars news agency said the plant would start providing power to the national grid within two months.
The Bushehr project was begun in 1970s but it has been dogged by delays.
Construction on the plant was abandoned after Iran's 1979 Islamic revolution until the mid-1990s, when Moscow reached a billion-dollar deal with Tehran to complete it.
In February, Iran had to remove fuel from the reactor "for technical reasons", amid speculation that the Stuxnet computer virus may be responsible.
The United States and other Western nations for years urged Russia to abandon the project, warning it could help Iran build atomic weapons.
But an agreement obliging Tehran to repatriate spent nuclear fuel to Russia eased those concerns.
In February, an IAEA report obtained by the BBC and made available online by the Institute for Science and International Security (Isis) - said Iran was "not implementing a number of its obligations."
These include "clarification of the remaining outstanding issues which give rise to concerns about possible military dimensions to its nuclear programme".
Six world powers are negotiating with Iran over its nuclear programme, and the country is subject to United Nations Security Council sanctions over its refusal to halt uranium enrichment.
Enriched uranium can be used for civilian nuclear purposes, but also to build atomic bombs.
Despite dismissing Kumar Sangakkara for 120 at the start of play, reigning champions Middlesex were kept at bay by Ben Foakes (67 not out) and Sam Curran.
When Curran fell for 51, the visitors lost 5-46 to be bowled out for 339.
But two early Middlesex wickets ended any chance of a late run chase, and they were 92-2 when a draw was agreed.
Having added just four to his overnight score, Sangakkara nibbled James Franklin behind to be well taken by wicketkeeper John Simpson.
Surrey had a lead of just 112 at that point with only five second-innings wickets remaining, and the away side looked in danger of being bowled out cheaply before Foakes and Curran shared a vital 83-run sixth-wicket partnership.
The hosts continued to push for wickets, as they searched for their first Championship victory of the season, and spinner Ollie Rayner returned to dismiss both Curran brothers.
Foakes finished unbeaten, while Dawid Malan's spin accounted for Surrey's tail.
Middlesex's final-innings chase never looked likely after Nick Gubbins edged Sam Curran behind for five before tea.
The prized scalp of Nick Compton came off Mark Footitt's first ball but, with runs hard to come by and no further loss of wickets, the London derby ended in a draw.
Surrey ended the happier of the two sides, despite slipping to second in Division One and one point behind leaders Essex, who they face at Chelmsford on Friday.
The first launch was considered to have failed, travelling about 150km (90 miles) before landing in the sea.
The second, launched hours later, flew about 400km. Military officials in the South said both were intermediate-range Musudan missiles.
A confirmed successful test would mark a step forward for North Korea after four failed launches in recent months.
South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said Seoul and the US were "carrying out an in-depth analysis" of the second launch, and did not say whether it was considered a success.
North Korea, which is developing nuclear weapons, is banned by UN resolutions from any use of ballistic missile technology.
South Korea's presidential office announced that it would hold a national security meeting to discuss the launch.
The US State Department has strongly condemned the launches, with spokesman John Kirby saying the tests would only increase efforts to stop North Korea's weapons programme.
"We intend to raise our concerns at the UN to bolster international resolve in holding [North Korea] accountable for these provocative actions," said Mr Kirby in a statement.
North American Defense Command (Norad), which tracked the missiles, determined they did not pose a threat to North American territories.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has said such tests "clearly cannot be tolerated".
The Musudan is believed to have a range of about 3,000km (1,800 miles), enough for it to hit South Korea, Japan and the US territory of Guam in the Western Pacific.
North Korea is thought to have dozens of them but has never successfully tested one.
The four other missiles tested in the last two months either exploded mid-air or crashed.
The BBC's Steve Evans in Seoul says the repeated the failures illustrate both the technological difficulties North Korea faces as it develops deliverable nuclear weapons, and its determination to succeed.
Surrounding countries had detected preparations for a launch in the past few days and warned that it was about to happen.
A message, marking the festival of Eid al-Fitr, made no direct reference to the talks but said Islam did not bar "peaceful interaction" with enemies.
Afghan government officials last week met Taliban representatives in negotiations brokered by Pakistan.
The Taliban have stepped up attacks on Afghan security forces.
Nato concluded its combat mission in Afghanistan last December, replacing it with a smaller deployment intended to train Afghan security forces until 2016.
Pakistan last week hosted the first formal face-to-face negotiations between Taliban representatives and the Afghan government.
Although the statement made by Mullah Omar is not made in audio or video, correspondents say its intention is to end speculation that the reclusive Taliban leader had not authorised the latest talks.
The text, published on a Taliban website, suggested that negotiations were a "legitimate" way of achieving the objective of ending occupation by foreign forces.
The statement said political means to achieve "sacred goals" could be pursued "concurrently with armed jihad", under Islamic principles.
The explicit endorsement of peace talks in this year's message is unprecedented. In the past, the Taliban insisted on talking only to the US, who they consider the main party to the conflict.
Though he does not refer specifically to last week's meeting in Islamabad between Afghan officials and the Taliban representatives, he has openly backed negotiations with his fellow Afghans too.
Meanwhile, he said that fighting would continue until the end of "occupation and the establishment of the Islamic system".
Although the Taliban are blamed for most civilian casualties, he reminds his followers to take care in their operations and not harm civilians.
His tone is full of confidence, spurred on by recent advances in the battlefield.
M Ilyas Khan: Will talks with the Taliban deliver a peace dividend?
The statement also made an apparent reference to the Islamic State militant group, whose Afghan affiliate has gained ground in Afghanistan and is opposed to any talks.
It has clashed with the Taliban and drawn away some of their supporters.
"We have...directed all our mujahideen to preserve their unity and forcefully prevent all those elements who attempt to create differences," the statement said.
BBC Monitoring media analyst Mina al-Lami says that Mullah Omar's message may serve only to give ammunition to IS, who are out to undermine the Taliban's jihadist credentials.
It comes amid speculation spread by IS that Mullah Omar is dead and that the Taliban are no longer capable of leading the jihadist movement in the Afghan-Pakistan region.
In his message, Mullah Omar appears unfazed by IS criticism, our analyst says.
While his open-ness to talks may cost him the support of more conservative elements within the jihadist movement, it could win him favour among the wider Afghan public, who he seems to court in his message by promising better governance.
The Rough facility accounts for about 70% of all UK gas storage.
Tom Marzec-Manser, an analyst at market information provider ICIS, said the gas price "rocketed" to 12-month highs after the announcement.
"To ensure security of supply is maintained... companies are going to have to pay a premium," he said.
They will will be "reliant on storage on the European mainland", he added.
"Technical problems have been ongoing at Rough for a while, but the market clearly did not anticipate this."
Centrica said it is working to return a third of the capacity to operation by November, in time for colder months when gas demand by energy companies climbs.
There have been problems at the Rough facility since March 2015, when Centrica imposed restrictions on storage levels because of an issue with its wells.
Last month following testing on the wells involved, Centrica said, it had "identified an additional issue" on one of them and Rough facility would close until 3 August for further tests.
Centrica issued a statement on Friday saying it had ended those tests early and had plugged the affected well.
"However, the affected well has identified potential uncertainties in the remaining untested wells," it said.
It would continue with an "enhanced" testing programme. "We estimate completion in March to April 2017. In the meantime because of the uncertainty as a prudent and safe operator (Centrica) cannot inject or withdraw gas from Rough," it added.
Centrica also said it was examining whether some wells could return to service in time for the coming winter.
"(Centrica) currently anticipates that at least four wells will return to service for withdrawal operations by November 1, 2016," it said, which would make up a third of the shortfall resulting from Rough's closure.
Asad Khan, from Bradford, died September last year. His family believe he had been bullied.
Pupils from All Saints Primary School have been working with Bradford University students to produce a documentary on bullying awareness.
Asad's cousin, Farah Naz, said: "We don't want other children to suffer what he had to suffer."
She said there was "a lesson to be learnt from his tragic death" and made an appeal to bullies.
"I don't know what Asad went through, but please don't do it to any other young child.
"We had no idea he was suffering from bullying because at home he was just [his usual self] running around, playing and being very talkative... if we had a slight idea that he was, things would've been different."
More on this story and others from across Yorkshire
Project Coordinator Sabeen Raja said the film was a good tribute to the 11-year-old.
"I think it's a good way for the children to see the impact that bullying may have and I think it's a good way to remember him, to know that he didn't leave in a way without something being done about it."
Hundreds of people attended his funeral last year and his death affected the local community with more than 200 people gathering at a centre in Girlington in October to offer support and discuss the issue of bullying.
Asad was found unresponsive at his home on Tile Street, off Whetley Lane, on 28 September, by his mother. He was taken to hospital but died a short time later.
Walter Watson, 69, said that, despite attending several outpatient appointments, nothing was done about ulcers on his legs until he became seriously ill with an infection.
He woke in hospital after an operation in 2013 to discover both his legs had been amputated.
NHS Grampian said amputations were only done when they were the only option.
Thompsons Solicitors have obtained reports from two independent experts, which they said stated that other treatments should have been tried first.
Mr Watson, from Aberdeen, said: "It's bad enough losing your legs but to think you didn't need to, that really is a bitter pill.
"You can imagine the shock when I awoke to find half of me was missing."
He said he had no recollection of signing a consent form for the operation.
He said: "It happened out of the blue. I had no idea I was going to lose my legs. It's just a daily horror.
"There are so many things you can't do. I was looking forward to my retirement. It's gone. I can't have any retirement. I'm very restricted where I can go."
Solicitor Nicola Kelly said: "It is the experts' view that, had he received the appropriate prompt treatment, he wouldn't have needed the double amputation.
"It's obviously a horrendous thing for anyone to go through, but even more so for Mr Watson because he had been going back and forwards to the hospital and was repeatedly discharged with no appropriate treatment or follow up."
A spokeswoman for NHS Grampian said: "We can confirm legal action is under way; as such it would be inappropriate to comment on this specific case.
"Speaking generally, we recognise amputation is a traumatic and life-changing procedure.
"We do our utmost to prevent our vascular patients reaching the point where amputation is necessary. NHS Grampian is unusual in that we offer smoking cessation support within the outpatient service.
"If amputation is the only option, we are absolutely committed to returning the patient to an independent life. Rehab visits take place in the home prior to the procedure taking place.
"In-patients spend a minimum of three months on the ward following surgery; during this time they receive intense physiotherapy and occupational therapy support."
The spokeswoman added: "We are confident that we offer a high standard of care to our patients."
The EIS asked 3,500 primary and secondary teachers across the country to record their working hours over a two-week period.
It found that the average teacher works 46.5 hours per week. They are contracted to work 35 hours every week.
The union said teachers were being burdened with a "crippling" workload.
It described the situation as "unsustainable" and called on the Scottish government and local authorities to act.
The Scottish government said it was working with teachers' representatives, local authorities and other partners to address concerns around workload.
A spokesman said: "The report by the Working Group on Tackling Bureaucracy (set up by the government) identified specific areas where changes need to be made and how we can make sure teachers have the freedom they need to carry on delivering our world-class curriculum.
"We are committed to making sure councils have the right number and highest quality of teachers in our schools which is why we have offered councils £51m including an additional £10m over and above last year's settlements to support teacher numbers".
The EIS Fortnight Focus on Workload survey found the average primary school teacher spent 9.3 hours on preparation and correction, where the contractual position for a full-time teacher sets aside 7.5 hours.
In addition, planning took, on average, 3.4 hours per week for primary teachers, assessment took 1.3 hours and reporting consumed 2.3 hours of a teachers' time.
In secondary schools, teachers spent 8.5 hours on preparation and correction, 2.5 hours planning, 2.7 hours on assessment and 1.5 hours on curricular development.
EIS general secretary Larry Flanagan said: "The workload picture is similar for teachers in all sectors and at all grades, and for teachers on full-time contracts or part-time contracts.
"No matter what the individual contractual commitment, the evidence gathered during the fortnight focus demonstrates that high levels of additional working are the norm for Scotland's teachers."
Scottish Labour's education spokesman Iain Gray said: "Every teacher accepts the occasional late night as part of the job but this is above and beyond that, this should concern us all because Scotland will not be able to close the attainment gap with exhausted and overworked teachers."
The existing law, all agree, is complex and lacking in transparency but all the signs are that the new one has not yet overcome this problem entirely.
The Joint Parliamentary Committee makes 86 recommendations overall but the central thrust is that while the direction of the draft bill is broadly correct, the government still needs to make significant changes, particularly in making a number of provisions clearer.
The bill aims to takes powers which were previously exercised using often obscure legal provisions and put them onto a clearer footing.
But one of the most controversial provisions is a new power - to compel companies to keep Internet Connection Records (ICRs) for 12 months which detail the sites everyone visits on the web (although not what exact page).
Not enough has been done to explain what is involved, the committee says.
Law enforcement rather than spies are the chief sponsors of this provision and the committee gives them support for the overall concept (even adding that they could be expanded to identify people visiting websites which hold illegal material rather than just for identifying forms of communication).
However, it says that more needs to be done on the detail. In particular there are problems over defining ICRs, over the technical feasibility of their collection and storage as well as the costs involved. All of this may make it challenging to deliver them in the timescale envisaged.
Bulk Personal Datasets are another area of concern.
Clear justifications and operational cases for why the powers are required remain lacking, the committee says, also criticising government for being unwilling to provide much detail of what kinds of datasets would be involved.
Some might be obvious such as passport records but others - like health records - would be far more sensitive.
It is notable in the report that the committee tried to get an answer on whether records such as health data would be excluded but was not given one by government.
There is relatively little detail on the issue of encryption which has been of concern to many companies (notably Apple which submitted detailed evidence).
A report from the Science and Technology Committee raised concerns from industry about the potential impact of ambiguity in some provisions.
The indications are that the government wants to retain its right to seek unencrypted data even if it knows it may not always be possible to obtain it.
There are still some concerns from industry over what is meant when its said that companies need to take "practicable" steps to provide such data and what impact it has on end-to-end encryption systems.
Some companies also remain concerned they could be compelled to hack into their own products under equipment interference provisions.
The Joint Committee also calls for some significant changes to the way in which judges provide oversight over powers to increase independence.
On intelligence sharing, the Joint Committee also notably calls for it to be made illegal to get another country to spy on behalf of a UK agency or body when it does not have the authorisation to collect such information.
The legislation is often technical by necessity and so a lot of weight is placed on "codes of practice" which outline how exactly the powers should be used. The committee say these should be published along with the bill to provide greater transparency and clarity.
The Intelligence and Security Committee report earlier in the week focused more narrowly on intelligence agency powers but took a tougher line.
It criticised the lack of an over-arching privacy protection and also said that when challenged about what the power of bulk equipment interference actually involved, officials were unable to provide an answer.
The committee have rejected the idea of a sunset clause in which the powers would expire after five years instead calling for a joint committee to review the use of the powers as the five year point approached.
There were clearly differences of opinion within the committee and despite the huge amount of evidence it took, some still feel it may have had to rush.
One member, Lord Strasburger argued the government had not learnt the lesson of drafting a bill too broadly and said that essential information was missing that parliament needed in order to decide if the powers were necessary and proportionate.
The issue now is how far the Home Office takes on board some of the criticisms and whether there is enough time to do so - a final bill is due to be introduced soon so that it can be debated and passed by the end of the year.
Bardsley, 32, began her career in the United States and joined City in 2014 from Lincoln Ladies after a two-year spell at Swedish side Linkopings.
She has won 67 caps for England, as well as five for Great Britain.
"The support of everyone at the club, from the coaching staff to the fans, has been unbelievable," she said.
"Manchester City's vision for growing the women's game is as ambitious as ever."
Nilsson, 27, recently played for Kalmar in his native Sweden and has trained on his own since his release in November.
"I am a big player, I like to use my body, play tough and win headers. I like to run, I'm quite fast," he said.
The club have also released former Blackpool and Huddersfield midfielder Keith Southern, who later announced his retirement at the age of 34.
After beginning his career as a youth with Everton, Southern turned out over 300 times in a 10-year spell with Blackpool and returned to the area with Fleetwood in 2014 after two years at Huddersfield.
Iceland chief Malcolm Walker said they were "the right party for the country", as Welsh Secretary Stephen Crabb visited the food firm's Flintshire HQ.
Mr Walker stressed it was a "personal opinion, not a company opinion".
"Lots of our customers will support the other side; lots of our staff in this office do," he said.
Speaking to BBC Wales on Friday, the food stores boss said: "We have seen a fantastic recovery and people have short memories about the state of the country five years ago."
He said both he and Iceland paid all their taxes in full, and the firm had never used zero-hours contracts - which the Labour party has pledged to scrap.
"I don't see the point of them," Mr Walker said of zero-hours contracts.
"In the last three years we've been voted the best company in Britain to work for, and having happy staff makes happy customers, and happy customers put cash in the tills.
"You are not going to have happy staff if you are unsure about next week's pay packet."
Mr Walker, a Conservative Party donor, was one of 100 business leaders who signed an open letter earlier in April backing Tory economic policies.
Labour's Shadow Welsh Secretary Owen Smith said it was "no surprise" the Conservative Party's "big business donors" wanted to back "the party of big business".
"It's a straight choice at this election between the Tories, the party of the business bosses, and Labour, on the side of hard-working people, pledged to raise the minimum wage, end zero-hours contracts, and scrap the bedroom tax," he said.
"Britain does better when working people do better."
This issue includes the wider economy and deficit reduction but also employment and the role of business.
The Liberal Democrats insisted their "balanced approach" in coalition with the Conservatives had ensured "record numbers of people in work and an economy that is growing by the day".
"We are the only party that can stop Labour and the Tories lurching to extremes and ensure we continue to build a stronger economy and fairer society with opportunity for all," a Welsh Lib Dem spokesman said.
Plaid Cymru candidate Osian Lewis said: "What Wales cannot risk is another five years of slashing investment.
"17,000 of the jobs created in Wales since 2010 have been part-time and until we increase people's wages and increase people's disposable income, our economy will continue to be skewed towards London."
The 31-year-old ex-Wigan trainee spent four seasons with the Brewers, helping them reach the Championship, but spent last season on loan at Oxford.
He has also played at Morecambe, Accrington, Stevenage and Rochdale.
"Phil is very much like Jermaine Beckford in that he has been successful in gaining promotion out of this league," said boss Lee Clark.

Ashley Farrell from Fivemiletown, County Tyrone, proposed to his girlfriend Anna Louise Martin on Christmas Eve.
He made his unconventional bid for bliss by spray-painting "Marry me" on the side of one of his calves.
Miss Martin suspected nothing as Ashley wooed her to the cow shed, as he had already told her she was getting a calf for Christmas.
She said: "I went outside and saw a small calf (a velvet Belted Galloway cross) but thought something was up because if he had the calf from November then it should be bigger than that.
"Then, before I could open my mouth, it turned around and the words 'Marry me' were painted on the side of it.
"I turned around and Ashley was on one knee with the ring in his hands and I of course said yes".
However Miss Martin, from Hillsborough in County Down, admits that she did not believe that Ashley came up with the dramatic idea himself at first.
"He is not usually the romantic type, but he thought of this one himself.
"I should have given him more credit but he is your typical farmer so I was really surprised that it was his idea."
Like many couples, Ashley and Anna Louise were quick to post their engagement announcement on Facebook, but they did not expect such a widespread reaction.
"My friend sent the photos into Farming Life newspaper and next thing I knew I was getting calls and texts from all different newspapers and media," said Miss Martin.
"It's all a bit of craic though."
The Football League did not confirm the size of the penalty, but details of the fine - which has not yet been paid - were disclosed in the club's accounts, which show they made a £38.3m loss in winning the Championship in 2014-15.
That was up from £10.3m the previous season, mainly because of staff wages, which rose to £30.4m, more than double the club's turnover of £12.9m.
Eddie Howe's side won the Championship title last season but exceeded Financial Fair Play limits of permitted maximum losses of £6m for a season.
Championship sides Bolton, Fulham and Nottingham Forest were all placed under a transfer embargo after breaking similar rules.
The accounts also revealed that it cost the Cherries £4.6m to bring their stadium up to Premier League specifications.
The council plans to charge diesel car owners 50% extra to park in and around Marylebone from 3 April.
The council said its F-zone parking charge would apply to visitors to Marylebone but resident permits would remain unchanged.
Diesel car owners will pay an extra £2.45 per hour for a maximum stay of up to four hours.
The zone - which includes Baker Street, the University of Westminster and Madame Tussauds - will use number plate recognition to identify diesel cars from other types of vehicle.
It comes ahead of City Hall's so-called T-charge, which will see the owners of older, more polluting cars face an extra £10 fee for entering the congestion charge zone later this year.
Westminster council said it was launching the pilot scheme in response to residents' concerns about air quality.
It added nitrogen dioxide (NO2) in Marylebone often exceeded recommended healthy levels, as did levels of particulate matter (PM) which cause respiratory diseases such as Asthma.
Local resident Stephen Quinn, who has lived in Marylebone with his family for 20 years, said air quality in the area "was definitely much worse" than in the past.
"We are extremely concerned about the long-term effect that this pollution is having on us, and more importantly, our children," he said.
"We desperately hope that this pilot will go towards making people realise that things must change"
Medicins Sans Frontieres says new stocks of Fav-Afrique, which neutralises 10 different snakebites that can occur in Sub-Saharan Africa, are desperately needed.
The last batch will expire in June 2016 and there is no comparable replacement.
Manufacturer Sanofi Pasteur says it has been priced out of the market.
Alternatives are available but MSF says they are not as good.
Fav-Afrique is the only anti-venom that has been proven safe and effective to treat envenoming from different types of snakes across Sub-Saharan Africa, it says.
Sanofi said it will share the anti-venom recipe with others.
The company stopped producing the serum last year and has since switched to making a rabies treatment instead.
Sanofi is believed to be negotiating for another company to produce Fav-Afrique, but these talks are not expected to be finalised before late 2016. This means that a replacement product could not be expected to reach the market for another two years, says MSF.
The absence of a broad, safe and effective anti-venom until then will translate into countless deaths, it says.
Polly Markandya of MSF said: "Most people who get bitten by a snake aren't exactly sure what kind of snake it is that bit them and so having an anti-venom that works against a variety of different species is really important.
"We are worried that without that anti-venom available, people will die unnecessarily."
Alain Bernal, a Sanofi Pasteur spokesman, said the company had offered to transfer the anti-venom technology to others, adding: "Nothing has materialised yet."
The World Health Organization says snakebites are a neglected issue that needs more attention and investment.
Each year, an estimated five million people worldwide are bitten by snakes, out of whom 100,000 die and 400,000 are permanently disabled or disfigured.
In Sub-Saharan Africa alone, 30,000 people die from snakebite every year and an estimated 8,000 undergo amputations.
The Paralympic sprinter shot girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp through a locked bathroom door in February 2013 but said he mistook her for an intruder.
He was convicted of culpable homicide, or manslaughter, eight months later.
State prosecutors say Pistorius should instead have been convicted of murder and want his prison term increased.
They say the jail term should rise from five years to a minimum of 15 years.
The court heard the state prosecutors' appeal on 3 November.
The five appeal court judges did not consider the facts but the application of the law, in a highly technical case.
The judgement is due to be delivered by the Supreme Court of Appeal at 09:45 (07:45 GMT) on 3 December.
The Paralympian was transferred to house arrest last month after serving one year of his five-year term.
The Curator of Art Louise Downey said that the only alternative would be that the pictures remained unseen in stores.
Only oil paintings are allowed to be displayed outside the museum.
Ms Downey said wall space was also needed for exhibitions, making it difficult to show as much of the public art collection as possible.
She said: "Our store as it is at the moment is full and because we've been tending to use our art gallery space at the museum for temporary exhibitions we have a lot of very displayable art in store.
"Two of the best paintings in the collection -the two portraits of Lillie Langtry - are on display, but it is difficult to find spaces within the museum buildings to display as much as we would like."
More than 200 publicly owned pictures are on show in the States, at the Royal Court, in the Bailiff's Chambers and in government offices.
Government House also has some important local pictures on its walls.
Ms Downey said this was just one way of getting pictures out of the store rooms.
"Museums are here to share our heritage and help people access our heritage so it is share what we have.
"We have large amounts of work on display in various locations around the island and they are all there to help people access our cultural heritage."
Oil paintings not needed for display in heritage trust buildings can be rented out to commercial concerns.
This provides income for the Heritage Trust.
Ms Downey said there was no difference between allowing a picture to be shown in a government office or a bank.
She said: "It is a money earner for us because we will loan out paintings to private companies.
"The bank staff and clients are as valid an audience as anyone else and in terms of our collections we would much rather have it out on loan than in store."

The visitors dominated the first half, but England defender Lucy Bronze went closest, heading wide from a free-kick.
France's Sandie Toletti forced Karen Bardsley into a save with a long-range strike, but England failed to work keeper Sarah Bouhaddi.
Toni Duggan had a late goal ruled out for handball for the Lionesses who have not beaten France since 1974.
Mark Sampson's side have not scored against the French in their last four meetings, but can take heart from a solid defensive display, leaving the opposition with limited chances.
England's last defeat came in the SheBelieves Cup in March when they lost 2-1 to Germany. They then went through six Euro 2017 qualifying games without defeat.
Their next friendly match is against Spain in Guadalajara on Tuesday, 25 October.
Former England striker Sue Smith on BBC TV:
"There have been some excellent defensive performances for England but Lucy Bronze was solid, made two excellent recovery blocks and did nothing wrong. Going forward she gave them something else and did not get a pass wrong.
"In the second half, England had the opportunity from Toni Duggan, it was chest at most but the referee thought it hit her hand. They showed patches of good play and when they play France again, they will feel mentally they can beat them.
"These are the games they need to play, the likes of France, Spain and Netherlands. They will give them different problems and can play different personnel in those games to work out the problems."

Stokes became the IPL's most expensive foreigner when he was signed by Rising Pune Supergiant for £1.7m, and went on to win the most valuable player award.
He helped his side to second in the group stages before returning to England duty, while Pune went on to lose the 2017 final by one run.
"Everyone who goes there becomes a better player," said Stokes.
The 25-year-old scored 316 runs at a strike rate of 142.98 and took 12 wickets at an economy rate of 7.18 in the Twenty20 competition.
"It would be great in the future if maybe the whole England team could be out there," said Stokes, who scored his maiden Twenty20 century while in India.
"It's not just the fact of playing in the tournament, it's the exposure you get as a player.
"Playing in high pressure situations against all the best players in the world at what they do - guys bowling at 150kph [93mph] and guys knocking it out of the park if you do not hit the areas you want to bowl."
Stokes played in the same team as former India captain MS Dhoni and current Australia skipper Steve Smith, with the latter praising the all-rounder during the tournament.
"To be part of a competition like that was an amazing experience - the biggest Twenty20 competition in world cricket - [as was] being able to share a changing room with the greatest players in the world, the greats of the game of cricket," said Stokes.
"I didn't go into the tournament worrying about [the fee]. The biggest thing for me was making sure I left a good impression with my performances on the field.
"That's what we pride ourselves on as cricketers. All the pressure I put on myself was wanting to perform on the pitch."
Eight England players were bought by IPL franchises this year, with Stokes, wicketkeeper Jos Buttler and bowler Chris Woakes given permission to remain in India and miss England's ODI series against Ireland in May.
Buttler said English cricket was now embracing the IPL and other domestic Twenty20 tournaments as part of an increased focus on white ball cricket.
"I think the IPL has been a bit of a taboo subject in English cricket for a while," he told BBC Radio 5 live's Tuffers and Vaughan show.
"It's [been] tried to make it unattractive to go to [in the past] but now the focus has shifted and people are embracing it.
"It's a shame it didn't happen before but it's better late than never. These tournaments are fantastic for cricket and the audiences."
England play South Africa in three one-day internationals, starting on Wednesday, before hosting the Champions Trophy, and Stokes says England have "earned the right to be favourites".
"We are just going to try to do what we have been doing over that last two years which is to go out there and perform to the best of our capabilities and always want to be on the front foot," he added.
"We've always known that we are a destructive outfit so when other opponents are saying that they don't like bowling at Jos [Buttler], for instance, at the end, you know what they are going through at the end of the mat."
Looking forward to the upcoming ODI series, he added: "South Africa are one of the best teams in the world. They have got some of the best players in the world as well so it's a good opportunity to get into some form leading into the Champions Trophy."
Prop Jones, 33, of Merthyr Tydfil, was doing 36mph in a 30mph zone on the A4109 near Glynneath in Neath Port Talbot in his Mercedes E220.
The Cardiff Blues player already had nine points on his licence.
Cardiff magistrates rejected his appeal that not being able to drive would cause "exceptional hardship".
He was banned for six months.
Jones said it would place a strain on his wife and parents who would have to give him lifts.
The court heard that if he is picked for Wales for the 2015 Six Nations campaign he will have to go to training camps at "all hours of the day".
Jones told the hearing: "I can get called in at random times to do random training sessions.
"I wouldn't be able to say when I would get back from games. It's not unknown to get back at one or two in the morning."
The court heard Jones, who has 95 Wales caps, had already been caught speeding three times during the past two years and had done a speed awareness course.
Magistrates banned him from driving for six months, saying that he was wealthy enough to be able to afford his own private chauffeur.
Chairman of the bench Hywel Thomas said: "This may cause some difficulty or inconvenience but we can find no exceptional hardship in your circumstances.
"You have indicated you have the means to pay a driver.
"You have not been treated any differently to any other member of the public today."
Shares in troubled Japanese electronics giant Sharp rose as much as 8% in early trade on hopes of a bailout deal.
The Nikkei business daily newspaper reported that a deal for the electronics firm may finally be signed this week.
Sharp has been in talks with Taiwan's Foxconn, formally known as Hon Hai Precision Industry Co.
However, the deal will be smaller than originally planned, reports said.
Sharp's shares finished the Easter Monday session up almost 5%.
In China, the Shanghai Composite spent much of the day in positive territory.
Data released on the weekend showed industrial profits returned to growth during January and February, which gave a boost to manufacturing shares.
However, by late afternoon, the index had lost ground and was down 0.33% to 2,968.9.
South Korea's benchmark Kospi index finished the session flat at 1,982.54.
Markets in Hong Kong and Australia reopen on Tuesday after the Easter holidays.
A knife was brandished during the incident near RAF Marham, Norfolk, on 20 July as men tried to drag the victim into a car before they were fought off.
Police said they have had 500 calls from members of the public in relation to the attack.
Det Supt Paul Durham said it could take "several months" to view CCTV footage.
He said: "We're no clearer at the moment to establishing exactly what the motivation was.
"Until we've latched onto something significant through the CCTV or public appeal, we may not be in a position to know."
Det Supt Durham previously said there was "no credible evidence" to suggest it was a terrorist attack.

Investigators are said to be continuing a "painstaking" trawl through CCTV footage from the area.
Det Supt Durham, from the Norfolk and Suffolk Major Investigations Team, said: "It's a great concern in terms that we've still got two suspects outstanding and obviously we're working really, really hard to rectify that.
"In terms of the pace of the investigation, from the very outset it was evident that this was going to a be a slow-pace investigation in terms of the focus around CCTV footage in particular which is fairly sporadic and of varying quality."
One suspect is described as of "Middle Eastern appearance", between 20 and 30 years old, approximately 6ft (1.8m) tall, with a well-groomed beard.
The second man, who is of similar appearance, is slightly younger, about 5ft 10in (1.78m) tall and was clean-shaven with short, dark hair.
The victim was approached by two men while jogging near the base.
He wrestled one man to the ground - possibly leaving him with a black eye - before another man, armed with a knife, tried to attack him.
The order directs agencies to enforce government rules on excluding foreign contractors from bids for government projects.
He signed the so-called Buy America, Hire America order on a visit to a tool factory in the US state of Wisconsin.
The order is aimed at fulfilling his "America First" campaign promises.
But it falls way short of Mr Trump's campaign pledge to end the H-1B visa programme.
Mr Trump will direct the departments of State, Justice, Homeland Security and Labour to propose reforms to the scheme, which allows American employers to bring foreign workers to fill US jobs.
"With this action we are sending a powerful signal to the world that were going to defend our workers, protect our jobs and finally put America first," he said at the Snap-On Inc headquarters in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
Mr Trump's wife Melania used an H-1B visa in her early days as a model in New York, says the BBC's Gary O'Donoghue in Washington.
For now, Indian IT firms are trying to put on a brave face publicly. The boss of India's largest IT company - Tata Consultancy Services - has said that the current discourse on the issue in the US is driven by "emotions".
But they are confident that greater "engagement" with the Trump administration will help soften their stance towards H-1B visas. But privately executives at most Indian IT firms will admit they are worried.
They believe that President Trump is serious about bringing back jobs to the US. And any changes to the work visa process is bad news for India's $150bn IT service industry.
Last year, it generated $64.8bn of revenue. And if they are forced to recruit employees from the US - which would lead to higher costs - then that would affect their profitability in the long term.
The administration's goal is to ensure such visas are given to the most qualified or highest-paid applicant, according to two senior officials.
The four departments will then submit their findings to Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross and release a report in 220 days.
Last year, Disney was accused of taking advantage of the H-1B visa scheme to lay off American technology workers, who were forced to train their foreign replacements.
The government allows 85,000 immigrants each year through the H-1B visa programme, which is reserved for foreign nationals in "specialty occupations" and is largely used by the technology industry.
The government uses a lottery system to grant 65,000 visas every year and randomly distributes an additional 20,000 to graduate students.
In recent years, the US has been overwhelmed by applications for the programme.
But the number of applicants fell to 199,000 this year, down from 236,000 in 2016, according to US Citizenship and Immigration Services.
A senior Trump administration official argued on Monday that the H-1B visas are supposed to be awarded to highly qualified workers, but often bring in less skilled employees who earn lower wages than those they are meant to replace.
Under the new order, the H-1B visa would no longer serve as a cheap way for companies to replace US workers, the official added.
Tech companies contend the programme is used to recruit top talent, but some of the H-1B visas are also used for outsourcing firms. Critics say these undercut unemployed Americans and fill lower-level information technology jobs.
Indian nationals are the largest group of recipients of the H-1B visas issued each year.
More than 15% of Facebook's US employees last year used a temporary work visa, according to a Reuters analysis of US Labour Department filings.
The executive order will also focus on reviewing waivers in free-trade agreements and whether they allow foreign firms to undermine American companies in the global government procurement market.
"If it turns out America is a net loser because of those free-trade agreement waivers, which apply to almost 60 countries, these waivers may be promptly renegotiated or revoked," a second official said.
Just under 5,000 people cycled a 128km (79 mile) through Cambridgeshire on Sunday.
The race started in Peterborough and catered for amateurs of all abilities on closed roads.
Dubbed the 'Tour of Cambridgeshire', the route took in towns and villages across the county, including Alconbury and Whittlesey.
Andrew Williams from club Cwmcarn Paragon won it for the men, with Cambridge's Laura Massey crowned the fastest woman.
The Gran Fondo mass participation race, which is more common in Europe, marked the end of a weekend of cycling, with a 28km (17.4 mile) closed-road time trial taking place along the route on Saturday.
Organisers said it had been successful and hoped the Gran Fondo would return in the future.
Last summer, the county hosted the Tour de France's final English leg, with thousands of people lining the route to watch.

Cheltenham Town manager Gary Johnson told BBC Radio Gloucestershire: "It's always disappointing when you lose a game - we knew what to expect from them but we couldn't handle it.
"They've done very well and we weren't good enough to break them down and when we were, it was given offside.
"Some of the boys didn't perform today, they showed energy and work rate but maybe their mindset has gone a bit and they're not believing that they're top of the league."

The 47-year-old Las Vegan began working with Djokovic via phone calls to Madrid and Rome last month, and took up coaching duties in person last week in Paris.
There is no clear idea yet of how long the relationship will last.
"That's a question for him, to be honest," was all Djokovic would say on the subject before the tournament.
What we do know is that Agassi is scheduled to leave Paris at the end of the first week to carry out prior engagements, and there is no clue yet as to when, or if, he will be back in Team Djokovic.
"I will be very surprised if this relationship is going over the US Open," said Fabrice Santoro, a former rival of Agassi now commentating at Roland Garros.
"I think it's going to be a very short relation between Andre and Novak," the Frenchman told BBC Radio 5 live.
"Andre Agassi knows the game very well, he loves the game, he likes Novak, but it's not his life at the moment.
"He has his own life at home with his foundation, with his family, and I'm not sure he's happy to spend much time in the locker room."
It was in Paris 12 months ago that Djokovic finally cemented his place among the very best by completing the career Grand Slam, and holding all four major titles at once - something that has eluded Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.
But with 12 Grand Slam titles to his name and seemingly set to dominate for the foreseeable future, the Serb's form deserted him.
"I think Novak needs to be back as a warrior, like he was a few months ago," said Santoro.
"It's not like 10 years ago - when he won the French Open last year he was not giving one free point to the opponent, he was sliding all over Paris to win a point. You could see in his eyes how big his ambition was. He's lost that."
"Private issues" contributed to Djokovic's early exit at Wimbledon, he later revealed, while a wrist injury curbed hopes of a quick return to form.
But by his own remarkable standards, the fact that he has since lost his grip on three of those Slams and seen the number one ranking go to Andy Murray is little short of a disaster.
"Shock therapy" was what he felt necessary, and it came with the surprise announcement late last year that he was parting ways not only with 'super coach' Boris Becker after three years, but his entire team, including long-time coach and confidante Marian Vajda.
"All these beautiful memories we shared with each other on and off the court cannot be forgotten just like that," said Djokovic. "We are still very close."
Djokovic won six Grand Slam titles over three years with Becker, and all 12 since starting work with Vajda in 2006.
The Serb's employment of Becker in 2013 was seen by many as a response to the success Andy Murray had after taking on another legend of the past in Ivan Lendl.
But even in his current, second coaching spell, Lendl is likely to spend up to 18 weeks of the year working with Murray, with Jamie Delgado alongside the Scot throughout the season.
"I think Andre Agassi's help could be enough if Marian Vajda was still there, but he's not," Santoro said of the fledgling Djokovic arrangement.
"So Novak needs someone to replace Vajda first, and then find a super coach like Andre.
"I know that if Andy Murray was travelling only a few weeks a year with Ivan Lendl, but without Jamie Delgado, he would be in trouble. This is the situation now with Novak."
Murray himself was a huge Agassi fan growing up and once discussed working with the American, but it never came to a formal offer.
"He was always really, really nice to me, which is great," said Murray.
"I'm sure he'll help Novak as well. I'm not sure exactly what their deal is or the situation is, but having someone with that much experience around can only help."
Djokovic is currently just working with his brother, Marko, a former professional but with no coaching credentials, and Pepe Imaz, a former world number 146 who now runs a tennis academy that preaches a philosophy of love, peace and meditation.
"I'm not convinced that this person helps Novak Djokovic a lot," said Santoro. "Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm right. On court, for sure not."
For all the scrutiny that his relationship with Imaz has come under, the lack of a settled fitness trainer and physio is incongruous for a player who wrote a book on the value of physical and mental well-being.
"I have certain people and methods that I have been trying out lately," said Djokovic on Monday. "I am working on something, for sure, but still not ready to be shared."
So what can Agassi bring that will rejuvenate and enhance the Djokovic game?
Djokovic turned 30 a few weeks ago, and Agassi won two of his eight Grand Slam titles in his 30s.
He also returned from the depths of 141 in the world in 1997 to regain the number one spot and complete the career Grand Slam in 1999 - a mountainous challenge compared to Djokovic's relatively minor slide.
Technical changes are rarely the major issue when elite players call upon greats of the past, and Djokovic is sure to look more for emotional support from Agassi, with neither man averse to a bout of introspection.
"On the first day we had two practice sessions, and then we had a very, very long conversation in the evening," the Serb said of their first day together in Paris.
Becker, the man who used to provide that support, gave Agassi a very public welcome to the role in the stands of Philippe Chatrier Court during Djokovic's opening match at the French Open.
"I think it's an excellent choice," Becker told the BBC. "Andre's personality fits with Novak's.
"Ideally you don't want to start a new relationship at a Grand Slam because you have to get to know each other but that was their decision, so I wish them luck.
"Ideally you have to spend a lot of time together - even in smaller tournaments to really get to know each other and trust each other - but it is what it is and hopefully successful."
Last month after all, they were instructed by Number 10 that it wouldn't be appropriate to get stuck into the arguments before the deal was actually done and the government had taken its final position.
But now the prime minister has been extolling the virtues of what's been achieved without that final agreement, can that truce hold?
One senior government minister told me tonight "the 'deal' is a mess" - and I understand there is debate behind closed doors over whether those who favour exit should stick to the previous deal and keep quiet until the middle of the month or gingerly begin to make the case for exit.
There will be relief in Number 10 tonight that the home secretary has signalled strongly that she will back the PM. But she is not the only one with reservations about the EU.
And while she broke her silence to state qualified support, others may, in the coming days, speak out to say something very different indeed.
The ex-Bank of England deputy governor wrote the 2016 report which suggested scrapping the BBC Trust and having the BBC run by a board made up of senior staff and independent members.
Sir David was recommended ahead of two other candidates considered by Culture Secretary Karen Bradley.
BBC Trust chairwoman Rona Fairhead had said she would not apply for the role.
The other candidates were former civil servant Dame Deirdre Hutton and John Makinson, the chair of publishers Penguin Random House.
The new BBC chairman will officially work three days a week and oversee the implementation of the BBC's new charter - the way the BBC is run.
Communications watchdog Ofcom takes over regulation of the BBC's content - a role currently carried out by the BBC Trust - in April.

Sir David Clementi has one big advantage: he really believes in the system of governance he will now be leading.
In March 2016, his independent review of how the BBC is run didn't hold back on recommendations of reform.
Out went the tradition of self-regulation, whereby the BBC fundamentally looked after its own affairs to ensure independence from government. That will now be the responsibility of Ofcom.
Of course, there is no suggestion that Sir David was angling for the job when he suggested it be created. He had a distinguished career in finance.
The BBC's management team currently faces several huge challenges, on which Sir David will need to offer support.
Foremost is funding. The BBC needs to find hundreds of millions in savings now that it is paying for TV licences for over-75s.
In news, the BBC has to innovate to meet the digital demands of a new generation of consumers.
And in entertainment, where it has long been used to being the biggest beast in the jungle, there are new predators such as Netflix and Amazon Prime stalking the undergrowth.
Those will be just the first challenges he faces in a daunting role.
Numbers are reported to have risen from 1,500 to 2,500 in a week in the north-east of the capital, an area where there are regular illegal encampments.
Hundreds of tents have been pitched by migrants - mostly from Africa.
But officials stress the rise does not represent a huge explosion in numbers.
BBC Paris correspondent Hugh Schofield says that tents and makeshift shelters have become a familiar sight near the Stalingrad and Jean Jaures metro stations.
In the the last few days, the numbers of people living on the streets here has gone up by several hundred, our correspondent says.
Officials say it is likely that many of the migrants are from Calais, but they are not the people who have been taken on buses to centres around the country in the last few days;.
They are more likely to be migrants who left the Jungle two or three weeks ago when it became clear that the Calais camp was going to be cleared.
Some will presumably be biding their time in the capital to see whether the Calais route to the UK might become feasible once again, our correspondents says.
"It's not a huge explosion in numbers but there is a clear increase," the Paris deputy mayor in charge of security issues told the Reuters news agency.
"Some of them come from Calais, others from other places," Colombe Brossel added.
France's asylum chief Pascal Brice also said the arrival of the migrants did not represent a wholesale movement from the Jungle to the capital.
"There might be some movements at the margins [towards Paris] but what is crucial is that those 6,000 people have been protected," he told Reuters.
Many of the migrants are believed to be from Sudan and spent Thursday night camped on a roadside between the Stalingrad and Jaures Paris metro stations. They dispersed on Friday morning, many carrying their tents while police patrolled the centre of the boulevard.
Police checked ID papers and asylum requests before allowing the migrants to return to the central reservation to put their tents back up, officials said.
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 format of the Highlands' Loopallu music festival is to change from next year.

During a safety campaign on the issue, West Midlands Police officers have posed as cyclists to catch drivers.
Dean Littleford, 60, from Birmingham, denied driving without due care and attention in Park Lane West, Tipton, in November.
But he was fined £1,038 and had five points added to his licence by Dudley Magistrates' Court.
Almost 200 offenders have been stopped by police as part of the GiveSpaceBeSafe scheme, which was launched in September, with 13 going on to be prosecuted.
PC Mark Hodson from the Central Motorway Police Group said: "Most offenders watch the footage, accept their driving was below par, and elect for a driver improvement course or an offer of three licence points and £100.
"This was a clear case of a close-pass - the cyclist was nearly forced into the kerb and the actions of the truck driver could easily have caused a very serious collision.
"He maintained his innocence, though, and has now been convicted in court."
Police want drivers overtaking cyclists "to be patient, plan your overtake, and give plenty of room".
The Highway Code states drivers should give the same room as when overtaking another vehicle which is about 1.5m or an open car door's width.
The force said reports of "close passes" have halved since the operation was introduced.
The 56-year-old Wednesbury cyclist involved in this case said he felt the scheme "gives cyclists the confidence and reassurance that such dangerous driving will not be tolerated".
Sung, the world number 202, carded a one-under-par 71 to end the third round at 17 under.
Fowler started the day seven shots behind Sung, but his five-under-par 67 brought him back into contention.
Englishmen Justin Rose and Andy Sullivan both finished on five under, 12 shots off the lead.
Fowler and Sullivan carded the joint-second lowest scores of the day with their five-under rounds, this was despite the American dropping three shots in the final two holes.
Sung has missed the cut in five of his nine PGA Tour events in 2017, but a win in Houston would see him claim his first PGA Tour victory and also secure him a place in next week's Masters at Augusta.
The marble slab, which is just over 60cm (24in) high, is inscribed in an early Hebrew script called Samaritan.
It only includes nine of the original Biblical commandments; the 10th is a local Samaritan rule.
It was sold at a Los Angeles auction house on condition that it will be displayed in a public museum.
The carving was discovered in 1913 during the excavation for a railway line near the city of Yavneh, an historical Jewish centre of learning, now in present-day Israel.
The auctioneers, Heritage Auctions, said it probably dates from between 300 and 500 AD, and could have marked the entrance to a synagogue.
The missing commandment - "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain" - has been replaced with call for Samaritan worshippers to "raise up a temple'' on Mount Gerizim, a holy site above the city of Nablus, in the present-day West Bank.
The buyer has not been identified.
The seller, Rabbi Shaul Deutsch from New York's Living Torah Museum, insisted that the new owner display the ancient artefact publicly, according to Heritage Auctions.
The Samaritan community has a long history in the Middle East, although its population has dwindled to fewer than 1,000 people in recent times.

Shouting was heard at about 03:00 BST on Sunday before Mr Samwell was found in a parking area at the rear of the house, in Chorlton-cum-Hardy.
A man, 21, is being held on suspicion of murder and is due to be questioned, Greater Manchester Police said.
Det Supt Jon Chadwick said the force was continuing to appeal for witnesses following Mr Samwell's "senseless murder".
"My thoughts continue to be with Mike's family and friends at this devastating time," he said.
Mr Chadwick said the killing had "crossed the line" and appealed to anyone with information to "search their consciences".
He appealed to the criminal fraternity "to help us out", describing the murder as "more than criminal".
Mr Samwell was asleep with his wife Jessica in their Cranbourne Road home when the intruders struck.
The former submarine officer went downstairs to investigate noises and ended up in a parking area at the rear of the house.
Police believe he was run over at least once as he tried to prevent the theft of his black Audi S3 sports coupe, which was later found damaged about three miles from the house.
Mr Samwell was taken to hospital where he died from his injuries.
A spokesman for the Royal Navy said Lt Samwell served for 12 years as an engineer submariner, leaving the service in September 2014.
"Our thoughts and sympathies are with his family and friends at this difficult time," he added.
A neighbour spoke of his shock at the events in the "really quiet" and "friendly" street.
The man, who did not want to be named, told the BBC there had been a persistent problem with car thieves in the area.
"I know Chorlton is a bit of a crime hotspot; because it is a nice, affluent area people do come in from other areas of Manchester, unfortunately, and target us."
Another said: "Car theft is one thing, but leading to someone's loss of life, you can't put into words how shocking it is so close to home."
Mourners gathered for a vigil in Chorlton on Sunday night before laying flowers on Cranbourne Road.
Forty-seven plaques will be unveiled on BBC Music Day this Thursday, recognising pioneering musicians and music venues around the UK.
Motorhead star Lemmy will be celebrated at Port Vale FC, which has adopted Ace Of Spades as its unofficial anthem.
Superstar tenor Alfie Boe will also receive an award in his hometown.
His plaque will be unveiled at Marine Hall in Fleetwood, where the musician gave his first public performance at the age of 14.
"I can't believe that this is happening," he told the BBC.
"You walk past so many blue plaques on buildings and you never suspect you're going to be one of them. I'm just blown away by it, I really am."
Billy Bragg will unveil a plaque for David Bowie at the site of the Trident Studios in Soho, where the star recorded his multi-million selling albums Hunky Dory and The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust.
Bowie's backing band The Spiders From Mars will also be commemorated at Hull's Paragon Station - from where they took the train to meet the Thin White Duke in the 1970s.
Other notable honourees include:
You can see the full list of recipients on the BBC Music Day website.
Congratulations on being awarded a blue plaque. How does it feel?
I really can't get over it. It's an amazing thing to happen to me, and I'm not taking it lightly. I'm very, very, very honoured.
The plaque will be nailed to the wall of Marine Hall, where you played your first gig. What do you remember of that night?
I was a 14-year-old kid and I was very scared, very nervous. We were doing something called Songs from the Shows, and I was asked to sing Bring Him Home from Les Miserables. I never would have thought that, years later, that would have been a role I would have played on Broadway and in the West End.
Have you been back to the venue since?
I've played there a number of times. It's a place that I hold very close to my heart. It's a little gem of a theatre.
I even worked there as stage crew and then in the waiting staff for all the banquets and balls they used to have.
I bet they're not putting that on the plaque.
"Alfie Boe stacked chairs here"!
Who are you bringing to the unveiling ceremony?
Obviously my family will be there and lots of old friends from Fleetwood. I think Michael [Ball] is coming and joining me on the day, as well. I can't thank him enough for taking time out and spending the day in my hometown. I'll show him around and we'll get a bag of chips on the seafront.
And when the event's over, you can stack the chairs.
Exactly. Stack the chairs and mop the floor, just like old times.
BBC Music Day is an annual celebration that aims "to unite communities and generations through their love of music".
More than 200 events will take place this Thursday, including a co-ordinated, country-wide bell-ringing performance at 19:00 BST.
Schoolchildren in Bradford and Portsmouth will attempt to break world records in drumming and Tamboo Bamboo, while the indie band The Courteeners will visit Manchester Royal Infirmary to explore the impact of music therapy on patients.
BBC Radio 3 will broadcast five dramatic monologues by new writers about the power of classical music, performed by actors including Liam Neeson and Julie Hesmondhalgh.
And The Charlatans will play an exclusive concert for BBC Radio Scotland and BBC 6 Music.
The blue plaques were awarded by BBC Local Radio and the British Plaque Trust, after audiences were invited to nominate worthy artists earlier this year.

Zahle - a Christian city - has known dark times.
It became a dangerous frontline as the armed forces of Syria intervened in Lebanon's long, complex and bitter civil war in the 1980s.
In a very similar conflict in the 1860s it was torched by besieging Druze and Turkish fighters after its Christian defenders were defeated. Civilians were massacred in the bloody aftermath.
These days, Zahle is a place of safety.
Christian families fleeing the violence and chaos of Syria's civil war just a few kilometres further down that ancient highway are arriving in the city where Christian aid agencies care for them.
The question is - will be they be able to return to their homes once the fighting dies down or will they become the latest chapter in the long story of the how the Christian population of the Middle East is continuing to decline?
For now, the refugees I met in Lebanon were optimistic; the talk is of returning and rebuilding.
But the omens are not good.
At moments of crisis in the Middle East, Christians have tended to pack and leave to build safer and more peaceful lives for themselves elsewhere - think of Palestine in 1948 or Iraq in our own turbulent times.
The statistics are striking. A hundred years ago it's thought that around a fifth of the population of the Middle East was Christian, although it's hard to be certain. These days the figure is probably closer to 5%.
Christians are no longer a majority in Lebanon, which was once a political and cultural stronghold - and they're even in a minority in the Palestinian city of Bethlehem, the very birthplace of Christ.
In an age where we tend rather arrogantly to see Christianity as a phenomenon of the developed world - the faith that colonising Europeans took to the territories they conquered - it's worth remembering that the Middle East is the cradle of that faith.
St Paul was travelling to Damascus when he was blinded in a moment of conversion, after all. The street where he stayed as he recovered is still there now.
If current trends continue, then soon Christian influence in the Middle East may dwindle to nothing.
At the moment Egypt is something of a stronghold - about 10% of the population are Copts - descendants of the ancient pre-Muslim inhabitants of the country. But modern Egypt is overwhelmingly Muslim, and many Christians are worried that under an Islamist government, the country will become for them an increasingly cold house.
The new Coptic Pope Tawadros told us that the battle over the nature of the country's new constitution would play an important role in determining how comfortable the new Egypt would be for its original inhabitants.
"We hope that in future there's equality for all Egyptians," he said. "But in the past Christians have not shared completely in social and political life. The constitution has to be under the umbrella of citizenship, not the umbrella of religion."
The fate of the Copts under Egypt's former leader Hosni Mubarak was interesting.
They weren't persecuted but they lived under heavy restrictions which made it clear the country belonged more to the Muslim majority than it did to them. Building a new church or even repairing an old one required absurdly high levels of official approval (up to the president). Building or repairing a mosque was infinitely easier.
And one of the reasons why the flight of Christians from Middle East in general is a difficult story to tell is that it is in general not a story of persecution but of subtler demographic factors.
There has been anti-Christian violence - most notably in Iraq in recent years.
But the Christian population is falling in statistical terms partly because it has a much lower birth-rate than the Muslim population around it.
And it has a high propensity to emigrate.
Not all Middle Eastern Christians are affluent or well-educated - some of those who fled the violence in Iraq were poor and under-privileged.
But many are well educated, with good language skills learned at religious schools and strong international support networks - many Christian churches are international. So in hard times, it's simply easier for them to leave.
Even in Lebanon, which once had a Christian majority, numbers have dwindled.
In Beirut I met Fadi Halisso, a Roman Catholic former engineer from the northern Syrian city of Aleppo who's now studying for the Jesuit priesthood in the Lebanese capital.
He said Christians tended to want to live peacefully in a turbulent region and were quick to leave as soon as that peace was threatened.
He quoted for me the example of an Armenian Orthodox community in his own home city who had left as soon as the shadow of violence threatened. It's not clear when, if ever, they will return.
"We can't say that Christians are targeted," he told me. " In Iraq they were caught in the middle of war and I don't think they were targeted more than other groups. In general Christians are not numerous, they don't carry weapons and they prefer to retreat."
When I asked Fadi whether Muslim hostility towards Christians, or the rise of political Islam were factors in the declining Christian population, he told me that individual incidents like attacks on churches in Alexandria or Baghdad could have a disproportionate effect.
"We cannot say that Muslims are hostile towards Christians," he told me. "There are some, but of course when you have a few people making troubles, they can affect the whole region. After those church attacks, the Christians of the region felt threatened even though it was in another country or far away. It's an overall impression that we are not welcome anymore even if we have good relationships with our neighbours."
Fadi told me he thought it was inevitable that the Christian population of the Middle East would continue to decline because of its own demographic characteristics.
Which leaves the question of what will happen to the Christians who have fled the fighting in Syria so far.
Some of the refugees we met in Lebanon were supporters of the Assad regime - believing in the official line that it has protected religious minorities - and others had worked actively in the opposition movement to bring it down.
Those young activists are optimistic, believing that a new, tolerant Syria can eventually be built on the ruins of civil war, in which Christians and Muslims will be able to live side by side.
The Christian refugees who believe in Assad seem to feel they'll only be able to go back if he somehow eventually prevails over the rebellion, however unlikely that now seems. If he loses, they believe an Islamist state will be created in which minorities will be persecuted and forced out.
An image stays with me of one father living with 25 members of his family in an apartment in Zahle in the Bekaa Valley - their home in Homs was destroyed in the fighting in Syria.
His two-year-old son has sad, wise eyes and soft, long hair.
By local tradition his hair won't be cut until he's baptised and his parents won't have him baptised until they can have it done back home in Syria.
As we sat and chatted, the father absent-mindedly stroked his son's head. You couldn't help but wonder how much more waiting they face before that baptism can eventually take place.
Two snap bags of the class A drug were identified by the police officer father of children trick-or-treating in the Royton area of Oldham.
Oldham magistrates heard Donald Junior Green, 23, from Chadderton, Oldham was mortified by his "terrible mistake".
He was given a 12-month community order and must do 130 hours community work.
The apprentice panel beater said he had handed two packets of what he thought were Haribo sweets to the children while at his girlfriend's house in Mendip Close.
He realised his mistake when he put his hand in his pocket and discovered packets of sweets instead of the cocaine, for which he had earlier paid £200.
He said he went out to try to get the drugs back but he could not find the children, who are aged eight, six and five.
The court heard the drugs were spotted by the father of three children, who is a police officer, when they returned home and were dividing up their sweets.
He reported the find to police colleagues and Green, who had never been in trouble with the police before, was arrested.
Green's solicitor Steven Sullivan told magistrates: "When he was arrested he justifiably fell upon his sword and was expecting them and knew exactly what it was for."
He described the mistake to the court as "grossly foolhardy but none-the-less accidental".
"He did not set out to commit a crime and did try to put it right."
Rosenborg are in Glasgow for the first leg of their Champions League third qualifying round tie on Wednesday.
And Ingbrigtsen says Deila was not too helpful when they spoke about the tie.
"He is more a fan of Celtic than Rosenborg. I am not trusting everything he said to me," Ingebrigsten said.
"[The chat] was more about Celtic Park and what we could expect. That's what he could tell me about."
As for which side goes into the tie as favourites, the Rosenborg boss is in no doubt.
"It has to be Celtic," he said. "They are used to being favourites, we are used to being favourites.
"We look at this as an even game. Someone has to be favourite, but I don't think it matters anyway."
Ingebrigtsen says Rosenborg will come to Celtic Park in search of away goals as they seek to take some kind of advantage into the second-leg.
"We know that to come here is really difficult," he said.
"At times. we will have to defend well and we have to keep the ball and we have to attack ourselves. We have to create problems.
"The away goal is really important for us, so we are coming here to score goals."
Rosenborg are currently 17 games into their domestic season and five points clear at the top of the table.
In contrast, Celtic are yet to start their domestic campaign and the Norwegian coach hopes match sharpness could be play a part.
"History shows for Rosenborg that it is an advantage to be halfway through the season," he said.
"All the opponents we meet are struggling because it is really early in the season for them.
"The only team we have met that is in the middle of the season was Dundalk. Hopefully Celtic are not at their sharpest."
Rosenborg could also face a Celtic side without both their main strikers. Leigh Griffiths is banned for one game while Moussa Dembele is in an injury doubt.
Ingebrigtsen knows how significant that could be.
"Of course they will miss them," he added. "Hopefully they don't play."
Police said the search had been extended as they investigate claims that an explosive device had been left in the area.
The alert began on Wednesday. Police said the scene would be held overnight with further search activity to start on Friday.
A security alert near Craigavon, County Armagh, has been declared a hoax.
Mr Morsi is in detention, as well as senior figures in the Islamist group of which he is a member. Hundreds more are being sought.
The top judge of Egypt's constitutional court, Adly Mahmud Mansour, has been sworn in as interim leader.
He has pledged to hold elections based on "the genuine people's will".
At a news conference, Muslim Brotherhood spokesman Gehad el-Haddad declared "our full refusal and revoking of the military coup" and demanded Mr Morsi's immediate release, along with the other detainees.
He declared the Brotherhood's "full denial of co-operation" with the new regime and said it would take part in all "peaceful, people-led protest".
Voices from the streets
Meanwhile, Egyptian Foreign Minister Kamel Amr - who resigned from Mr Morsi's government on Monday - said he had assured US Secretary of State John Kerry in a telephone call on Thursday that the overthrow of President Morsi had not been a military coup, but the "overwhelming will of the people".
The upheaval in Egypt comes after days of mass rallies against Mr Morsi and the Brotherhood, who are accused of pursuing an Islamist agenda and failing to tackle Egypt's economic problems.
Some 50 people have died since the latest unrest began on Sunday, with correspondents saying that there are continuing fears of confrontation between the pro- and anti-Morsi blocs.
A coalition of Islamist parties - the National Coalition in Support of Legitimacy - has called for mass demonstrations to denounce the army's actions following Friday prayers.
The Egyptian army has gambled that it can contain the situation, but that's by no means certain, says the BBC's Jeremy Bowen in Cairo.
There have been reports that Morsi supporters in a town north of Cairo have been set upon and badly beaten - an illustration of the potential for danger.
Mr Haddad earlier told the BBC that Mr Morsi had been put under house arrest and the "entire presidential team" was in detention.
The army said that Mr Morsi, Egypt's first freely elected leader, had "failed to meet the demands of the people".
But in the news conference, Mr Haddad said the arrests had no legal basis and decried "the prospect of a police state in action now", citing as a particular example the arrest of the former Muslim Brotherhood chief Dr Mahdi Akef - "a non-political, non-office figure, 85 years old and yet arrested".

Mr Haddad's father, senior Morsi aide Essam el-Haddad, and Saad al-Katatni, head of the FJP, are among those being held.
On Thursday afternoon unnamed officials said Mohammed Badie, supreme leader of the Brotherhood, had been arrested in Mersa Matruh, a Mediterranean coastal city to the west of Cairo.
Arrest warrants have reportedly been issued for some 300 other members of the Muslim Brotherhood, including Mr Badie's deputy, Khairat al-Shater.
Some of those held, including Mr Morsi, are being charged with "insulting the judiciary", and the public prosecutor's office told AFP news agency travel bans had been placed on 35 senior leaders.
Several TV stations sympathetic to the Brotherhood have been taken off the air, and a state-owned printing press is said to be refusing to print a newspaper run by the FJP.
Security forces raided al-Jazeera's Egypt channel and detained members of its crew - a move denounced by the Arabic broadcaster.
Rights group Amnesty International said the shutdowns were a "blow to freedom of expression".

Fighter jets trailing smoke drew love hearts in Cairo's smoggy skies on Thursday in apparent celebration of the military's role in ousting Mr Morsi's government.
But across the city, his despondent supporters staged sit-ins in protest at what many are calling a betrayal of the democratic process.
Mr Mansour took an oath to become interim head of state, vowing to safeguard "the spirit of the revolution" which had removed Hosni Mubarak from power in 2011.
Fresh elections were "the only way" forward, he said, without indicating when they would be held.
He held out an apparent olive branch to the Muslim Brotherhood, saying they were "part of this people" and were "invited to participate in building the nation".

The army's roadmap for the post-Morsi era includes:
Events in Egypt have divided international opinion, with the US, UK and UN among those expressing concern and calling for a swift return to civilian rule.
Others, such as Turkey and Tunisia, have been more forthright in their condemnation of the way Mr Morsi has been ousted.
Yet others, such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates - as well as Syrian President Bashar al-Assad - have welcomed the turn of events.
Mr Morsi became Egypt's first Islamist president on 30 June 2012, after winning an election considered free and fair following the 2011 revolution that toppled Mubarak.

Murray was broken in the first game, but went on to win 4-6 7-5 6-7 (4-7) 6-4 6-2.
It will be the ninth Grand Slam final for Murray, who is ranked number two in the world.
He will now face the reigning champion, Novak Djokovic, in the final on Sunday.
He has faced Djokovic 31 times before, and has been defeated by him 21 times, including three previous Australian Open finals.
Along with his older brother Jamie, the Murrays have also made history as the first brothers in the Open era to both reach the finals at a Grand Slam, after Jamie got through in the men's doubles.
James Stewart, 46, said he and his brother Peter were attacked at Wardieburn Street West last April.
He told the High Court in Livingston: "I thought I was dying."
Ryan Ellis, 31, and a 17-year-old who cannot be named for legal reasons deny robbing and attempting to murder Peter Stewart and assaulting James Stewart.
Mr Stewart said: "I didn't know if I was going to die. I didn't know if I was going to see my kids or anyone again. I was in a strange place. I was panicking."
The jury heard a recording of the 999 call in which Mr Stewart said he could see "serious bleeding" from his brother.
He said: "It's really pretty bad. Peter, are you OK? Peter, who am I?"
The court has heard Peter Stewart was stabbed through the heart and lung and would have died from his injuries without medical intervention.
Under cross examination, Mr Stewart admitted that he and his brother were regular cannabis users.
However, despite being offered immunity from prosecution for drugs offences by the prosecution, he firmly rejected suggestions that he and his brother had gone to Edinburgh to buy cannabis.
The trial, before Lord Glennie, continues.
Police said a man entered the store in Fagley and kicked open a security door to get behind the counter.
During a scuffle, the shopkeeper tried to defend himself with a baseball bat and was stabbed with a pocket knife.
The suspect, said to be aged between 20 and 25, left the store on Fagley Road empty-handed. Police said the victim was left "badly traumatised".
The 48-year-old shopkeeper received several cuts to the head in the incident which took place at about 20:00 GMT on Wednesday, and was taken to hospital.
Det Insp Paula Bickerdike, of West Yorkshire Police, described it as "particularly nasty and violent attack which left the victim with a number of injuries to his head and face".
"It could very easily have resulted in more serious injuries to the victim and we urgently need to identify the person responsible," she said.

The NI Leaders' Debate took place at the BBC but only one of the parties was represented by their leader.
UUP leader Mike Nesbitt accused Sinn Féin of costing Northern Ireland "£2m a day by reneging on your commitments" in the recent Stormont House Agreement.
Sinn Féin's Martin McGuinness said the UUP had "signed up" for welfare cuts.
"You were a member of a party that signed up, through UCUNF [Ulster Conservatives and Unionists, New Force]... which resulted in the withdrawal of £1.5bn from our budget," Mr McGuinness said.
Sinn Féin withdrew their support for the Stormont House Agreement in March, three months after the five-party deal had been struck on a wide range of issues, including welfare reform.
On the issue of same-sex marriage, the UUP leader and the DUP's Nigel Dodds said they believed marriage should be between a man and woman.
Mr McGuiness, the SDLP's Mark Durkan, and Naomi Long from Alliance supported equal marriage rights.
Both Mr Durkan and Mrs Long expressed regret that several MLAs from their parties were either absent or had abstained from a recent Northern Ireland Assembly vote on sex-same marriage.
Mr Durkan said the SDLP was the first party to propose the decriminalisation of homosexuality, the equalisation of the age of consent and civil partnerships.
He said the SDLP's "party policy is clear" on the issue of same-sex marriage and called for legislation to be passed.
Mrs Long said: "I share the disappointment that not all of my colleagues have voted in favour of this legislation."
She said that her party was "working our colleagues to address their concerns around the issue" and added that "no-one has equality when it is denied to anyone".
The recent controversy involving Health Minister Jim Wells, who resigned after linking same-sex parents to child abuse, was raised in the debate.
Mr Dodds said Mr McGuiness was a "hypocrite" for demanding an apology from Mr Wells but not offering an apology for IRA murders during the Troubles.
The DUP deputy leader said: "The fact is that we do not believe in the redefinition of marriage, but that does not make you anti-gay."
Mr Nesbitt said he had a "zero tolerance for homophobia" but had voted against same-sex marriage because he "was brought up in a church that believes that marriage is between a man and a woman".
Mr McGuinness repeated his party's call for a referendum on same-sex marriage, to allow the people of Northern Ireland to decide.
The parties also clashed over how to deal with the legacy of the Troubles and Sinn Féin's policy of refusing to take their seats at Westminster.
All five party leaders were invited to the debate but only the UUP leader accepted, with the other four sending very senior party members.
BBC presenter Noel Thompson said: "Until this morning, we had been expecting the SDLP leader but Alasdair McDonnell pulled out, with the party saying that was 'in line with the DUP and Alliance'."
The debate was broadcast on BBC One Northern Ireland from 20:00 BST.
UK-wide audiences will be able to watch the debate on BBC Two at 23.35 BST. (regional variations may apply).
It will also be repeated on BBC Two Northern Ireland at the same time.
The hashtag for the debate is #NIDebate
Israel's consul-general in Mumbai, Orna Sagiv, said she was "really shocked" by the "insensitive" name.
The store opened in the city of Ahmedabad in Gujarat 10 days ago.
Its owner says he did not know who Adolf Hitler was and the store is named after a business partner's grandfather who was called Hitler for being strict.
'Ignorant, insensitive'
Mrs Sagiv said she would "raise the issue" with the state government next week during a pre-arranged visit to Gujarat.
"I don't think they have named the store out of malice, I think it's just ignorance and insensitivity on their part," she said.
The shop's owner Rajesh Shah, who sells men's clothing, said he was surprised he had upset people.
"I didn't know how much the name would disturb people," he told the AFP news agency.
"It was only when the store opened I learnt that Hitler had killed six million people."
Mr Shah said he would change the store's name if he was compensated for re-branding costs.
He said he had spent 150,000 rupees (about $2,700; £1,700) on the logo, hoarding and business cards.
The store has Hitler written in large letters over the front and a Nazi swastika symbol makes up the dot on the letter "i".
Correspondents say the German dictator who took the world to war in the middle of last century is admired by a small but growing number of Indians.
Books on his life and Nazi memorabilia have found a steady market in some sections of Indian society where Hitler is admired, mostly by young people.
Police said a man armed with an imitation firearm stepped in front of the car on North Street around 20:30 GMT on Monday.
The man was treated in hospital for a suspected broken leg.
He was later arrested and has been charged with attempted hijacking, disorderly behaviour and possession of a firearm or imitation firearm.
He is due to appear in court on Wednesday.
In a separate incident, a woman has been assaulted by two men in a multi-storey car park in Belfast city centre.
She had just got into her car at Hardcastle Street at about 18:30 GMT on Monday when she was approached by the men, who forced her out of the vehicle and drove off in it.
Troops guarding the site in the major port city of Mukalla, Hadramawt province, have fled, they said.
AQAP has exploited the chaos gripping the country, overrunning Mukalla earlier this month and freeing inmates from a prison.
A Saudi-led coalition has been bombing Shia Houthi rebels, who have been advancing across the country.
The Houthis swept into the capital Sanaa last September, eventually forcing President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi to flee abroad.
AQAP fighters have also reportedly took control of a sea port and an oil terminal in southern Yemen.
As the coalition strikes continue against the Houthis, Yemeni Vice-President Khaled Bahah said he did not want a Saudi-led ground offensive.
With the raids failing to stop the rebels, there has been speculation a ground campaign could be launched.
But Mr Bahah said: "We are still hoping that nothing will happen, and we are not expanding the war, but we are trying to stop the war."
Earlier, it was announced the UN's special envoy to Yemen, Jamal Benomar, has stepped down from his post.
The UN said it would name a successor "in due course" and "spare no efforts to relaunch the peace process".
The Moroccan diplomat is believed to have come under pressure to resign from Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states after he failed to get the warring Yemeni factions to attend peace talks.

Houthis - The Zaidi Shia Muslim rebels from the north overran Sanaa last year and then expanded their control. They want to replace Mr Hadi, whose government they say is corrupt. The US alleges Iran is providing military assistance to the rebels.
Ali Abdullah Saleh - Military units loyal to the former president - forced to hand over power in 2011 after mass protests - are fighting alongside the Houthis.
Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi - The president fled abroad in March as the rebels advanced on Aden, where he had taken refuge in February. Sunni Muslim tribesmen and Southern separatists have formed militia to fight the rebels.
Saudi-led coalition - A US-backed coalition of nine, mostly Sunni Arab states says it is seeking to "defend the legitimate government" of Mr Hadi.
Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula - AQAP opposes both the Houthis and President Hadi. A rival affiliate of Islamic State has also recently emerged.

The 34-year-old hit four sixes and two fours, while Sussex's Luke Wright made 45 off 37 balls in a total of 148-7.
But Tim Ludeman hit the fastest Big Bash fifty, off 18 balls, making 92 as Adelaide won by eight wickets.
Pietersen led the Delhi Daredevils in the Indian Premier League this year but was released when they finished bottom.
He made 294 runs in 11 games at an average of 29.40, with a highest score of 58.

Why? Because it is the last time Wales beat the All Blacks in a Test match.
Since that memorable day in Cardiff, Wales have tried - and ultimately failed - 24 times against the Men in Black.
One of rugby's greatest rivalries is now one of the most one-sided in sport.
Back in the Queen's coronation year, though, Wales versus New Zealand was one of the most eagerly anticipated sporting clashes.
Still reeling from a defeat by club side Cardiff earlier in the week, the tourists were greeted by a crowd of 56,000 at the old Arms Park.
While most of us wonder whether we will ever experience Wales beating New Zealand in our lifetime, club and country captain Bleddyn Williams managed it twice in four days.
Wales trailed 8-5 in the last 15 minutes, with wing Gareth Griffiths playing on with a dislocated shoulder and Williams having torn thigh ligaments.
Flanker Sid Judd crossed to level the scores - at the time, tries were only awarded three points, before their value increased to four in 1971.
Soon after, Wales back-row forward Clem Thomas had the ball on the wing and caught the All Blacks flat-footed when he launched a diagonal kick into the New Zealand 25.
Wing Ken Jones latched onto the loose ball to score the winning try to complete Wales' third victory in four meetings with New Zealand.

All Black legend Don Clarke and fly-half Bruce Watt shared the points, with full-back Clarke kicking a penalty and the latter slotting over a dropped goal.
More than 60,000 saw the New Zealanders leave Cardiff with their first win in the Welsh capital.
This is regarded by many as one of the great All Blacks sides and only a 0-0 draw with Scotland denied them a clean sweep of all the home nations and France.
The fiercely contested game was played in dreadful conditions and scoring chances were limited for both sides.
New Zealand may have beaten Wales, but they were still beaten on Welsh soil by club side Newport 3-0 at Rodney Parade on the same tour in their only defeat.
John 'Dick' Uzzell's drop goal was the difference between the two sides and the Black and Ambers went down in rugby folklore as the third club side to beat the All Blacks, joining the 1935 Swansea side and Cardiff in 1953, while Llanelli would join this select group in 1972.

Still probably the most controversial Welsh defeat between the two countries and it is still talked about now, at least in Wales.
Wales were the better team but were beaten with a last-minute penalty by full back Brian McKechnie after an incident that has gone down in Welsh rugby folkore and an example of the tactics the Men in Black would employ in search of victory.
Wales dominated possession and, with moments left on the clock, they led by two points.
Lock Andy Haden threw himself out of the lineout in an attempt to win a penalty, to the fury of the Welsh players. English referee Roger Quittenton penalised a push by Geoff Wheel on Frank Oliver.
Graham Mourie, the All Black captain, later admitted he had planted the idea in Haden's mind the night before the match. "I know that some of the players later regretted it and their part in it," he said.
"But it was equally true that in that crucial, unforgiving minute in the searing heat of Cardiff Arms Park the match was won."
While this defeat still rankles for the Welsh, New Zealand's class of '78 became the first All Black side to return home with a Grand Slam of wins over England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
Scorers - Wales: Pens: Gareth Davies (3), Steve Fenwick
New Zealand: Try: Stu Wilson; Pens: Brian McKechnie (3)

Wales' wait for a win over New Zealand continued as the All Blacks edged a breathless encounter in Cardiff but the hosts certainly pushed the visitors all the way at the Millennium Stadium.
Wales, who had seen Tom Shanklin cross for a try in the first half, were 19-13 ahead just after half-time when hooker Mefin Davies was driven over from short-range for Wales' second try.
But wing Joe Rokocoko, who scored two of New Zealand's three tries, was a constant threat taking his try tally to an incredible 27 tries in 22 games for the All Blacks.
Gavin Henson reduced the deficit to a point with his second penalty five minutes from time, but Wales failed, once again, to land the knockout punch.
Scorers - Wales: Tries: Shanklin, Davies; Pens: S Jones (3), Henson (2)
New Zealand: Tries: Rokocoko (2), Muliaina; Con: Carter; Pens: Carter (3)

Mr Cable said it had achieved its primary objective of selling the shares and reducing the risk to taxpayers.
It came after the National Audit Office said too much emphasis was put on rushing the sale, at the expense of value for money.
Shadow business secretary Chuka Umunna said it was "a first-class disaster".
But Mr Cable insisted the government had been "right to take a cautious approach".
Royal Mail shares are more than 70% higher than the 2013 sale price.
The Communication Workers Union called for Mr Cable to quit over the sale.
Billy Hayes, general secretary of the union, said it was a "botched, panic sale" and the business secretary "should consider his position".
Mr Cable refused to apologise, and said that the sale had raised £2bn for the taxpayer, with a further £1.5bn from the 30% stake in Royal Mail which it had retained.
The privatisation of Royal Mail took place amid huge public interest and the shares rose by 38% from 330p to 455p on their first day of trading, meaning taxpayers had lost out on at least £750m in the sale.
The NAO report concluded that the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills was too cautious when setting the sale price.
"The department was very keen to achieve its objective of selling Royal Mail, and was successful in getting the company listed on the FTSE 100," said Amyas Morse, head of the NAO.
"Its approach, however, was marked by deep caution, the price of which was borne by the taxpayer."
A planned postal workers' strike, which was eventually cancelled after the privatisation, also affected the government's sale price.
Demand for Royal Mail shares was 24 times the maximum number available to investors, the NAO said, but the banks overseeing the sale advised there was not sufficient demand to justify a significantly higher figure.
George Godber, a fund manager at Miton Group, told Radio 4 that he was "astounded" by the low price.
"I thought it was significantly underpriced. In stock market terms, this was the London 2012 Olympic ticket moment, lots of people applied but very few got to go to the opening ceremony."
Managers from two of these advising banks - Goldman Sachs and UBS - said market uncertainty and the complexity of the deal led them to a conservative price when they were questioned by MPs in November last year.
They said there was a significant risk that raising the price past the £3.30 they had advised would diminish investor interest.
The NAO acknowledged the government had benefited from the increase in Royal Mail's share price via the 30% stake it still holds.
But it argues the benefits could have been even greater had the government kept a larger stake, while still fulfilling its policy objective of reducing public ownership to below 50%.
With demand for the flotation uncertain, the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills chose 21 "priority investors" to maximise its chances of successfully selling all the shares.
It believed that these investors would be long-term, supportive shareholders.
It did not, however, confirm this with a binding agreement, because it said this would have reduced the sale price of the shares.
Eventually, 22% of Royal Mail was sold to 16 of the priority investors who had bid for shares at 330p.
By the end of January 2014, just six priority investors remained among the largest shareholders, who together held just 12% of the shares.
The spending watchdog also noted that a small number of shareholders, designated as "priority investors", had made significant profits from the increase in the sale price following the privatisation.
The government had allocated larger proportions of their shares orders to these 16 investors, in the belief that they would form part of a stable long-term and supportive shareholder base.
However, almost half of the shares allocated to them had been sold within a few weeks of the IPO.
Margaret Hodge, chair of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), said the sharp rise in Royal Mail's share price since the sale showed "the department had no clue what it was doing."
Mr Umunna said Mr Cable could no longer dismiss the share price rise.
"He and David Cameron have serious questions to answer on the hundreds of millions of pounds they have lost British taxpayers and cannot duck responsibility for what has happened," he added.
Labour, the Lib Dems, the SNP and the Greens all back votes at 16 - only UKIP and the Tories are against it.
Sixteen-and 17-year-olds were allowed to take part in 2014's Scottish independence referendum.
But Mrs May will tell BBC Radio 4's Westminster Hour she believed it was "right" to keep the current minimum age of 18 at UK-wide elections.
"This is one of those questions where you have to draw a line," she will say in an interview to be broadcast at 2200 GMT.
"You have to pick a point at which you think it is right for the voting age to be. I continue to think it is right for it to be 18."
How many people are registering to vote?
Would visiting Parliament inspire you to vote?
Greens demand votes for 16-year-olds
In an interview with presenter Carolyn Quinn, she argued there are other ways for young people to participate, saying: "The implication from your question is that the only way to get engaged in politics is by casting a vote.
"I think it is important young people watch politics, pay attention to politics, get to think about their own views and where possible start to get involved."
Asked what Conservatives were offering to appeal to young people, she called attention to forthcoming talks on Brexit.
"We have to get those negotiations right and we have to get them right for those young people's futures," she said.
She was also challenged on changes to the housing benefit element of Universal Credit which exclude 18- to 21-year-olds.
She told the Westminster Hour: "I don't think any of us wants to see any one sleeping rough on our streets.
"We are putting £500m over these five years into homelessness, into preventing homelessness."
Green Party co-leader Caroline Lucas told the BBC: "We should be trusting young people to have a real say about the future direction of their country, not shutting them out."
SNP deputy leader Angus Robertson highlighted that as well as voting in the 2014 referendum, Scottish 16- and 17-year-olds can vote in local and Holyrood elections.
"It is ridiculous that thousands of young people who voted in the Scottish local elections just weeks ago are now being denied a say on their future in this Westminster election," he said.
Lib Dem spokesman Tom Brake accused Theresa May of "robbing young people of future opportunities through her damaging hard Brexit agenda", adding: "It's no surprise she is now refusing to give 16- and 17-year-olds the vote."
The cost has increased and many addicts are begging to fund their habits, Changing Lives said.
Brian Aitken from the Newcastle charity said dealers had "stockpiled supplies".
The production, distribution, sale and supply of new psychoactive substances - cannabis and cocaine substitutes such as Spice and Black Mamba - became a criminal offence in May.
Possession for personal use is not a criminal offence, unless the user is in prison.
Packets of the drugs which had cost £5-£10 were being sold for over £20, Mr Aitken said he had been told by users.
"Those people who were buying in bulk at a cheap price, they're able to command quite a high price now and they're making a fortune," he said.
Bill, 22, who sleeps rough in Newcastle, said the drugs were difficult to get hold of.
"It's really hard, people are having to go through other people, they've having to get it from Manchester, people are having to mission all over for it," he said.
"The ban coming in, it's made it worse, really, because, with it being harder to get, most people aren't being able to feed their addiction so they're getting quite violent and stuff like that."
Last year legal highs were linked to more than 100 deaths in the UK and a rise in violent assaults in prison.
Northumbria Police said the Psychoactive Substances Act gave officers "specific legislation to help us tackle what is a very, very difficult issue".
When the ban was introduced charities helping homeless people, addicts and young people warned it could drive sales underground and onto the black market online.
The IEA expects oil stocks to grow by two million barrels a day in the first quarter and 1.5 million barrels a day in the following three months.
In January, Brent crude hit a 13-year low of $27.67. It recovered a bit, but on Tuesday was down 7.2% at $30.50.
But that is still a long way from the $112 level reached in June 2014.
"If these numbers prove to be accurate, and with the market already awash in oil, it is very hard to see how oil prices can rise significantly in the short term," the IEA said.
Meanwhile demand for oil is expected to weaken. The IEA forecasts that demand growth will fall to 1.2 million barrels a day this year, from the 1.6 million barrels a day seen in 2015, the IEA said.
The think tank also questioned whether the recent rise in prices was a "false dawn" and concluded that a number of conditions increased the risk of weak oil prices.
These included doubts that Opec, the oil cartel, was in talks with other oil producing nations to reduce supply.
It also quashed speculation that Opec nations would cut output this year, stating that output from Iraq reached a new record in January. Iran has increased production ahead of sanctions being removed and preliminary data suggested that Saudi Arabia's shipments had increased.

Langridge and Ellis have a chance to secure Britain's first Olympic badminton medal since Nathan Robertson and Gail Emms won mixed doubles silver in Athens 12 years ago.
"Our record against the Chinese pair is not as good as we would like but the thing is, this is the Olympics and anything can happen," said Langridge.
"If you had told me before the start that we would make the semi-finals I would have bitten your hand off.
"It is amazing - we are one of these pairs that are quite up and down - but this tournament we have shown our ability."

The up-for-sale club, who are 14th in the Championship, have not scored at home since 8 March.
"We're close, but not close enough," he told BBC WM. "We've been competitive.
"We want to be playing well, creating chances and scoring goals. But four 0-0 draws is better than four defeats."
Wolves fans last saw a goal scored at Molineux by either the home or away team when defender Matt Doherty's injury-time winner won all three points against Bristol City.
Since then, Wolves have shared the spoils at home to neighbours Birmingham City, former boss Mick McCarthy's Ipswich Town, ex-Villa boss Paul Lambert's Blackburn Rovers and Neil Warnock's Rotherham United.
Yet, at the same time, they have scored in all four away matches since, getting a last-minute equaliser at Burnley, winning 2-1 at MK Dons and going down narrowly 2-1 to both Hull City and Leeds.
"We've lost by the odd goal and had a lot of draws," admitted Jackett.
Wolves' problems in front of goal this season stem from the consecutive impact of losing last season's three main goal-getters.
Bakary Sako departed in early August at the end of his contract for nothing to join Crystal Palace. Within a month, Nouha Dicko was ruled out for the season and Benik Afobe then made a £10m move to Bournemouth in January.
On top of their combined loss, Wolves were then made to do without main January signing, Michal Zyro, one of a host of long-term injuries.
Throughout the season, Wolves have so far scored more goals on the road, 26 in 22 games, than they have at home, 24 in 22 games.
But, in the knowledge that his under-performing team will have the backing of 2,000 away fans at Nottingham Forest on Saturday, Jackett denies any extra pressure at playing at Molineux. "We've got a very good expectant crowd," he said. "There's no great difference in approach and mentality."
BBC WM's Mike Taylor
How bad was Saturday's latest blank?
"Had Saturday's game been the first of the season, or even the first 0-0 in a while, it wouldn't have seemed so bad. Wolves were the better side against predictably obstinate opponents. They weren't terribly dangerous, but they weren't terrible. But, after all that has gone before at Molineux this season, they needed to deliver more to avoid getting the bird."
Is the Molineux glass half empty? Or half full?
"Wolves fans have had months to chew over the reasons for their dreary season and argue about where to apportion blame. That will continue until the first game in August, and probably beyond. If the club is not sold, it appears that there will be no significant injection of transfer funds for next season, and the going is likely to be just as hard. Equally, however, Wolves have had a particularly unlucky season for injuries, and could reasonably hope not to be hit so hard next time."
How safe is Kenny Jackett's job?
"Kenny Jackett chooses his words carefully in public at the best of times, and it is inevitable that he now sounds like a man on the defensive. In this observer's opinion, however, although there have been some decisions that have seemed unusual on the surface, there is no compelling case for Jackett's removal.
"He almost steered them to the play-offs only 12 months ago, and has been dealt a far more difficult hand this season. Probably there is a majority of supporters on social media who want him replaced, but that does not necessarily mean that a majority of all supporters think the same. Even if they do, to create further uncertainty at a club already facing the issues that a potential ownership may bring - when many of the qualities that would be sought in a new manager are those Jackett is already known for - would be a considerable risk."
John Bray, Bridgnorth
"Two years ago Molineux was bathed in sunshine as we basked in the relative glory of beating Rotherham 6-4 en route to the League One title. A year ago Molineux was bathed in sunshine as we kept our Championship play-off dream alive with a pulsating, memorable 4-3 win over Leeds. So to now, April 2016 - four successive 0-0 Molineux draws and an audible sense of boredom among fans despairing at this season-long test of endurance.
"Yes, Wolves can point to the loss of Afobe, Dicko and Sako - three fantastic attacking weapons. But the slickness of pass, the speed of thought, the team's fluidity and movement, have disappeared too. Just like our chairman, Steve Morgan - and therein probably lies the problem." | A lorry driver has become one of the first UK motorists to be fined for driving too close to a cyclist.

Sunday marks 20 years since Edwards, from Blackwood, vanished.
His car was found abandoned near the old Severn Bridge, but no trace of him has ever been found.
Rachel Elias said when their father Graham was dying from cancer in 2013, he had to "face up" to the realisation that he may never know the truth.
Edwards was declared legally dead in 2008, but Mrs Elias said the family cannot come to terms with what happened.
"It was difficult because he [Graham] had to face up to that realisation - that we all may have to - we may not find out what happened to Richard. It was obviously difficult for my father.
"Going through his bereavement, I recognised the difference between that and someone who is missing.
"When someone dies you have that acute loss. It sounds like a cliche, that bereavement is a process - but it really is.
"But when someone goes missing you are left with this ongoing uncertainty. Not knowing makes it worse."
In 1994, Manic Street Preachers released their third album The Holy Bible, with many of the lyrics written by Edwards.
Leading up to the LP's release, Edwards was admitted to Whitchurch Psychiatric Hospital in Cardiff before being checked into the Priory Clinic after self harming and suffering with alcoholism.
On 31 January, 1995, Edwards and band mate James Dean Bradfield checked into London's Embassy Hotel ahead of a flight to America.
The following morning, when Bradfield went to wake his friend, there was no answer.
When hotel staff opened his room, they found it empty except for a handful of personal items.
Two weeks later, when his silver Vauxhall Cavalier was found at the now defunct Aust Service Station, it gave his family cause for hope as a steering lock had been fitted to the steering wheel.
Mrs Elias said: "Why would you worry about someone stealing your car if you were chaotically thinking of ending your life?"
The mental health worker said she would like people to remember her brother as a brilliant writer rather than a tragic figure.
"We've always been tremendously proud of Richard," she added.
"He always excelled at whatever he did at whether that was at school, college and university or with the band."

Justine Greening said she wanted to offer parents choice but children would not be split into "winners and losers".
She was answering an urgent question after a document proposing new grammars was photographed outside No 10.
Labour said the government was showing a "dangerous misunderstanding" of issues facing schools in England.
Meanwhile, BBC Newsnight is reporting that a new green paper is expected to be presented on Friday and will propose opening new grammar schools and allowing further selection by faith.
BBC Newsnight's policy editor Chris Cook said the most contentious suggestion in the consultation paper was likely to be that the government should pass legislation to permit new grammar schools. This would be required to overrule the 1998 Education Act, which barred the opening of further grammar schools in England.
To help overcome opposition in the Commons and the Lords, where the government does not have a majority, the paper is expected to propose that the schools should dedicate a quota of places to children from poorer backgrounds, Chris Cook said. Grammar schools may also be required to act as academy sponsors to other schools, he added.
Universities could also be asked to sponsor academies as a condition of being allowed to raise their fees. A similar condition may also be applied to private schools, Chris Cook said.
Earlier, answering an urgent question in the Commons, the education secretary said she recognised the debate over grammar schools was "emotive", saying government plans would be set out "in due course".
"There will be no return to the simplistic binary choice of the past where schools split children into winners and losers, successes and failures," she promised.
Selection can "play a role" in the education system, she said, and while grammar schools can provide a "stretching, outstanding education", they are only part of a "very broad-based school system".
The forthcoming policy was "absolutely not about going back to the past", she said.
Labour warned against creating more grammar schools, with shadow education secretary Angela Rayner saying such a policy would do nothing to address teaching staff shortages or "super-size" classes.
The debate over grammar schools was sparked after a document outlining proposals to open new ones was snapped by a photographer outside 10 Downing Street on Tuesday.
On Wednesday evening Prime Minister Theresa May told Conservative MPs she wanted "an element of selection" in the education system, but that new grammar schools would not be forced on areas that did not want them.
Addressing the 1922 committee of backbench MPs, the PM said "selection by house price" already existed within the state school system, with wealthier parents able to ensure a place for their children at high-performing schools by buying homes in the catchment area.
The government intends to publish its plans for school reform in the near future - according to the Daily Telegraph, the PM will publish a green paper and deliver a speech setting out her plans.
Grammar schools are state secondaries whose pupils are selected by examination at age 10 to 11.
There are currently about 163 grammar schools - out of 3,000 state secondaries - in England, and a further 69 in Northern Ireland.
Under a law created by the Labour government in 1998, no new grammar schools are allowed to open in England. Education policy is devolved in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Supporters of grammar schools say that children from poor backgrounds are helped to make the most of their potential because entry to such schools is on the basis of raw ability.
But many argue that, in fact, the vast majority of those doing well in entrance tests are children whose parents have paid for them to be privately tutored outside school.
Norman Smith, assistant political editor
Grammar schools remain a highly emotive political issue - but will form only one part of a much bigger package of school reform, that could include allowing free schools to introduce academic selection.
In an effort to overcome concern - including in her own party - that grammars are socially divisive, Mrs May will suggest they should only be set up where there is parental demand and priority would be given to less affluent areas.
Ministers also want the entry exams to be less susceptible to coaching and there may be different entry requirements for poorer pupils, and grammar schools would be expected to have close ties with local primary schools and to demonstrate they were socially inclusive and benefitted the local community.
Defence Secretary Michael Fallon, whose constituency of Sevenoaks, Kent, got approval for the first new "grammar school" - technically described as an annexe to an existing one - for five decades last year, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme the government would "widen choice" but this would not mean children who failed entry exam going to "sink schools".
Sir Michael Wilshaw, chief inspector of schools watchdog Ofsted, this week said the idea that poor children would benefit from a return of grammar schools was "tosh" and "nonsense".
Former Lib Dem Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg told Today the government did not have a mandate to expand grammar schools, accusing it of "foisting their own evidence-free prejudices upon us".
The government's social mobility tsar, Alan Milburn, warned that a return to grammars could be "a social mobility disaster", telling The Guardian: "This is not selection educationally, it is selection socially."
The Conservative Party manifesto for 2015 promised to "allow all good schools to expand, whether they are maintained schools, academies, faith schools or grammar schools".
Teaching unions attacked any expansion of grammar schools.
The National Union of Teachers described it as a "regressive move", the Association of Teachers and Lecturers said it would be a "massive distraction" and the NASUWT said government policies had already increased "covert selection, often targeted at pupils from materially deprived backgrounds".
The Association of School and College Leaders, which represents secondary heads, said increased selection was "education policy by nostalgia" that would not help social mobility. | The government will take a "pragmatic" look at new grammar schools but will not be "going back to the past", the education secretary has told MPs. | 37,303,348 | 1,302 | 36 | false |
Writing in Pediatrics, researchers from the University of California Davis studied 664 infants up to the age of three.
They found that the average risk was 18%, not 3-10% as estimated before.
An autism charity says genetics only play a part in the disorder.
Autism is a complex disorder which affects a child's ability to think, communicate, interact and learn.
The study involved infants from 20 different places across the US and Canada, who were six to eight months old at the start of the research. They all had older siblings with autism.
The researchers, from the Mind Institute in California, followed the children's development up to the age of three years, when they tested for autism.
Of the 664 participants, a total of 132 children were found to meet the criteria for an autistic spectrum disorder. Of these, 54 received a diagnosis of autistic disorder and 78 were considered to have a milder form of autism.
All the children were tested using an autism diagnostic tool, which measures non-verbal cognitive, language and motor skills.
Among the study participants, 26.2% of male infants compared to 9% of female infants were diagnosed with a form of autism.
Previous studies have shown that autism is more common in males than females - 80% of all affected children are male.
In families with more than one older sibling with autism in the study, the average risk was 32%.
Prof Sally Ozonoff, lead study author and professor of psychiatry and behavioural sciences at the Mind Institute, University of California, explained the higher average risk figures in her study.
"Previous studies used different diagnostic criteria. This is the largest study of the siblings of children with autism ever conducted, the first to follow families up to the time of diagnosis as opposed to looking back once they have been diagnosed."
But she was careful to emphasis that the figures were estimates averaged across all of the families.
"So for some families the risk will be greater than 18%, and for other families it will be less than 18%. At present we do not know how to estimate an individual family's actual risk.
"Genes is a large part of autism, but it's not the whole story. Non-genetic factors are also important, but we don't know exactly what they are."
The National Autistic Society (NAS) says there are over half a million people in the UK with autism - that is around one in 100.
Mark Lever, chief executive of NAS, said the society welcomed the research.
"However, we would like to stress that this study does not mean that all parents of children with autism have an 18% chance of having another child with the condition.
"While genetics are thought to play a part in autism, the condition is not inherited in a straightforward way. Parents of multiple siblings with autism may, however, be at an increased risk of having subsequent children with the condition than those with just one child.
"It is essential that healthcare professionals also take heed of these findings and work proactively with families to monitor the development of siblings of children with autism."
Famous for playing the tam-tam drum, he toured the world and played with jazz legends such as Dizzy Gillespie and Miles Davis, and the Rolling Stones.
He led an orchestra of more than 30 drummers, many of them his relatives.
The UN cultural agency declared him a "living human treasure" in 2006 for keeping his country's traditional rhythms alive.
Yasir, 29, tested positive for banned substance chlortalidone following the second one-day international against England in Abu Dhabi last month.
He has been provisionally suspended by governing body the International Cricket Council (ICC) "pending the outcome of the disciplinary process".
Earlier this month, Yasir was named in the ICC's Test team of the year.
He bowled nine overs on the day of his failed test, taking 0-70 as England won by 95 runs.
Since making his international debut in 2011, Yasir has played in 12 Tests and 15 one-day internationals.
He took 12 wickets as Pakistan beat Australia 2-0 in a Test series last year, and doubled that tally in a 2-1 win over Sri Lanka this year.
Jungle Creations said the video, posted on its Facebook channel on Tuesday, failed to meet its usual standards and "may be factually incorrect".
The video, apparently shot from a motorbike, shows a young female cyclist being verbally abused by men in a van on a busy central London street.
She hits the wing mirror, at which one of the men asks: "You on your period?"
He then reaches out to touch the cyclist and asks for her number before driving away.
The young woman races to catch up to the van, which stops in a parking spot.
The cyclist reaches across to the wing mirror and yanks it off.
Several men are seen shouting and getting out of the van while the motorcylist shouts: "That's exactly what you deserve, you scum," as the cyclist disappears down the road.
The video received over one million views on the Viral Threads Facebook group and was picked up by multiple media companies, including the Sun, the Metro, the Independent and the Evening Standard.
Some people responded enthusiastically - applauding the woman for standing up for herself and the motorcyclist for berating the van drivers.
However, social media users on Facebook and on the comment boards Reddit were quick to protest, furiously debating why they believed the video was staged,
One Reddit user questioned why the motorcyclist had stayed behind the comparatively slower cyclist.
Another suggested that this had been to ensure that the recording of audio was not disturbed by fast moving air.
There are other unanswered questions about the video posed by the internet, including about the apparently superhuman physical strength of the cyclist.
Melissa Chapman, who leads social media at Jungle Creations, responded to allegations on YouTube that the video was staged by asserting that the motorcyclist who had filmed it had sent the video to the company.
The BBC asked Jungle Creations for information about the biker or evidence of a contract signed with the video creator but received no response.
Other media organisations were also asking questions, and one witness came forward claiming that he had seen actors making the video.
Scott Deane told the Sun newspaper that he had seen actors receiving instructions before the scene had been filmed.
"I saw this very attractive girl with a bike talking to a blonde guy who was giving her instructions," he said.
"Then three guys dressed in orange site clothes turned up in a van and the blonde bloke was giving them instructions too.
"He was telling the girl, 'You need to ride behind the van aggressively.'"
Another man claimed on Twitter that his colleagues had told him they had seen actors being given instructions and that the video had required two takes.
The founder of Jungle Creations, Jamie Bolding, denied creating the video and told the Evening Standard: 'We couldn't verify its authenticity, but we don't think it's fake."
The Guardian reported that Jungle Creations were selling the video at £400 for publication on the Guardian websites and £150 for social media channels.
Claims that the video had been staged also escalated into claims it was an example of "fake news"
After several hours of wild speculation and feverish commenting, Jungle Creations admitted on Wednesday afternoon that the video could indeed be fake.

Prince William visited Llanfoist Fawr Primary School in Abergavenny on St David's Day and joined pupils in making a tower out of marshmallows and straws.
About 80 children took part in team building exercises during the visit.
Headteacher Jon Murphy said the pupils could "barely contain their excitement" at meeting the prince.
Aimed at six to 14-year-olds, the SkillForce Prince William Award draws on the skills of ex-service personnel and aims to help schoolchildren build character, confidence and resilience.
The launch follows a year-long pilot at 37 schools across England, Scotland and Wales.
Abigail Squirrell, 10, from Llanfoist Fawr, said the challenges helped her feel more confident.
Pupils from Caldicot School, Monmouthshire and Bishopstone Primary School in Swindon, Wiltshire also joined the prince in a series of team building exercises.
This included making a free-standing tower from marshmallows and straws, pretending a ball is a 'radioactive cell' and carrying it to safety and putting up a tent wearing blindfolds.
The report was written for the EU's law enforcement agency Europol.
It says that readily available online tools and tutorials make it easy for youth to begin committing cybercrimes.
And it warns that a sense of pleasure derived from the acts might encourage some perpetrators to escalate their attacks.
"[The hormone] dopamine can be released quickly as vulnerable youth achieve frequent and rapid successes online, and if these successes are linked to anti-social acts, such as hacking, they will be reinforced to pursue further ends to obtain their gains," it states.
"Frameworks of addiction assist with explaining the difficulties in cessation as well as an escalation in deviancy and targeted victimisation."
The study suggests that educational programmes developed to tackle substance abuse and smoking could be adapted to help tackle cybercrime.
But the authors are careful not to claim that hackers are necessarily addicts themselves.
"In the [American Psychiatric Association's] last Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, internet addiction did not make it through," Prof Mary Aiken told the BBC.
"So, therefore hacking is not recognised clinically as an addiction.
"But our research certainly points to certain compulsive and impulsive aspects of the behaviour and certainly it would warrant further investigation as to whether it was addictive."
For now, Prof Aiken prefers to class hacking as a "cyber-maladaptive behaviour".
The study suggests a large part of the problem is that many youngsters see the internet as a place that is not watched over by guardians.
It says they then encourage each other to carry out more serious acts, helping "normalise" bad behaviour.
The report adds that often their goal is not financial gain, but rather to boost their reputation among other hackers in order to compensate for what might be a lack of self-esteem in the rest of their lives.
"Building reputation scores online becomes so important that young hackers can invest copious amounts of cognitive and emotive resources," it states.
Just as drug addicts and alcoholics can be helped by getting them to spend time with role models and teaching them to acknowledge how much damage their acts can do to others, so too can hackers be taught to change their ways, the study proposes.
It suggests "at risk" youngsters spend time with rehabilitated cyber-offenders, and that young people be asked to consider the psychological harm online attacks can cause.
The authors also suggest educators develop new tests to identify which children have the highest potential for technological skills when they are as young as four, so they can be "nurtured and rewarded" for using their talents in ways that benefit society.
The authors acknowledge one shortcoming of their work is that they had relied on evidence from other experts rather than young cybercriminals themselves.
But another expert who has interviewed such hackers agreed that the focus should be on encouraging cyber-hooked youngsters to behave rather than trying to restrict their internet access.
"There are a lot of people who would also be considered to be quite 'addicted' to technology, but who fight against hacks," said Dr Alice Hutchings from the University of Cambridge.
"These are people who write code and do really fascinating, great work, but are not involved in illegal behaviour.
"So, rather than trying to change what people are interested in, we should be steering them to pro-social activities rather than criminal ones, and looking to what's in their surroundings that influences the path they go down."
The 17-year-old, originally from Lanarkshire, Scotland, died from a single gunshot wound to his back after being shot in Wavertree on 7 February.
The man is the fifth person to be arrested on suspicion of murder by police during the investigation.
Three men, aged 24, 37 and 54, and a 37-year-old woman, have all been held and subsequently bailed.
A 30-year-old man arrested on suspicion of attempting to pervert the course of justice was also released on bail.
Slack defending allowed Christian Atsu to give Newcastle an early lead, and Yoan Gouffran struck a second shortly before half-time.
Cardiff sparked hopes of a comeback when substitute Peter Whittingham scored with 13 minutes left.
But the hosts held on, meaning Cardiff remain 21st.
Second-placed Brighton cut Newcastle's lead at the summit from six points back down to three with a 2-0 win at Bristol City.
Whatever the outcome at Ashton Gate, Newcastle kept the pressure on their rivals with a rampant start against Cardiff.
They were ahead after less than three minutes as Aleksandar Mitrovic found space in the Cardiff penalty area before teeing up Atsu.
Rafael Benitez's men had chances to extend their advantage but Jonjo Shelvey's shot was blocked by Sol Bamba, while Cardiff goalkeeper Ben Amos denied Paul Dummett.
However, that was simply delaying the inevitable as, moments before half-time, Gouffran's low drive gave Newcastle the two-goal advantage their domination warranted.
Cardiff had chances to cut their deficit, with Craig Noone, Rickie Lambert and Bamba all failing to hit the target from promising positions.
Neil Warnock's side eventually struck courtesy of Whittingham's shot from the edge of the area, but their late efforts to rescue a point were in vain.
Newcastle manager Rafa Benitez: "We started well, had chances and scored two, and started the second half well, but we didn't do it.
"I would rather play passing football, getting goals. In football if you play well you will have chances to win games. Sometimes you can't because the opposition is aggressive and the ref allows this contact.
"If you can it means you are strong as well. Sometimes you play passing football, sometimes you have to be strong and defend and stand up."
Cardiff manager Neil Warnock: "I am so gutted at the penalty. Mitrovic mauls him down; at this level the officials should be educated better and know about the pull.
"To add salt the linesman gives the free-kick to them. They will go home and see it with their coaches next week and say 'oh yeah, I made a mistake'.
"We have not got enough goals in the squad at the moment - we have to work on that.
"There were some pluses though: the lads at the back especially. At half time they might have got five or six. The second goal killed us."

American Spieth shot a three-under-par 68 to move three under for the tournament and into a share of third place in Sydney.
Jones followed his first-round 67 with a 68 to open up a three-shot advantage over fellow Australian Todd Sinnott.
Northern Ireland's Darren Clarke trails Jones by seven strokes after carding a four-under-par 67 to move to level.
Englishman Lee Westwood is also at level par after a one-over 72 at the Australian Golf Club, while last-placed China's Weiyu Zhu followed his opening-round 92 with an 85 to close on 35 over par.
Spieth, 22, started the day five shots behind overnight leader Lincoln Tighe, whose two-over 73 saw him slip to joint third in a five-strong group also featuring Belgian Nicolas Colsaerts and Australians Geoff Ogilvy and Aron Price.
Aiming for his sixth Tour victory of the year and defending the title he won by six strokes last season, Spieth shot five birdies but struggled late on with bogies on the 15th and 16th.
"It's frustrating," he said. "I was striking the ball well, but you don't see this much cross winds on golf courses. It is tough to deal with."
The 26-year-old scored 15 goals in 51 games last season for the Welsh side in League Two, England's fourth tier.
"Scott will be a great addition to the squad," said new ICT boss Richie Foran of his first signing since succeeding John Hughes at the Highlands outfit.
"He plays in a position we were keen to fill and he'll fit right in here both as a player and with his personality."
Boden, who came through Sheffield United's youth ranks, spent five years with Chesterfield before a breakthrough season with Macclesfield in the Football Conference in 2013-14, when he scored 21 goals.
A single season at FC Halifax Town followed before he joined County, helping them reach the third round of the FA Cup last season.
"I'm happy to have got everything over the line and I'm now buzzing to get going," Boden said.
"I've had a bit of a look around Inverness and it's lovely. You only have to speak to a few people as well to realise the people match the place. I look forward to living and playing here."

Appointed on a short-term basis in January with the Swans in the Premier League relegation zone, Guidolin guided them to a 12th place finish.
He was rewarded with a new two-year contract, and Swansea's fans repeatedly sang his name during the game.
"It was fantastic," Guidolin said.
"It was a nice surprise for me. A magic moment and a nice day with the sun shining and the fans singing.
"If it happened, it is for my players. They run, they work very hard and they changed the situation since January.
Swansea will now turn their attention to preparing for their sixth successive season in the Premier League.
Guidolin has said he will not have the final say on transfers, with that responsibility falling to chairman Huw Jenkins.
"For this situation, to prepare a good team for next season, I'll speak with my chairman," Guidolin added.
"But we have a good team and I think we need something more, but not many changes in my opinion.
"I have my idea of what I would like to change but in front of you [the media] it's difficult to say. My attitude is to keep private."
One player who has been linked with a summer move to the Liberty Stadium is former Swansea striker Wilfried Bony.
The Ivory Coast international left the Swans for Manchester City for £25m in January 2015, and he was an unused substitute on Sunday.
Swansea's supporters chanted Bony's name, and with the 27-year-old a peripheral figure at City, Guidolin was asked if he could return to south Wales.
"I don't know," was the Italian's response.
"I don't know him but I know his characteristics as a player.
"I like him. He's a good player and I know he worked very well here. For this, people here like him."
Council workers and volunteers have started planting the trees across some 100 sq metres at Barkby Beach, Prestatyn.
The area lacks grass which holds the dunes together but it is hoped sand will cover the trees, giving reinforced ground on which to transplant grass.
The council said the beach was "an important area for tourism".
Denbighshire countryside officer Garry Davies told BBC Radio Wales' Country Focus programme they hoped to plant marram grass at the dunes by the end of the summer.
"It's been damaged by excessive trampling, and then once the marram disappears you get issues with wind erosion and wave erosion," he said.
"If this is left unchecked then it won't be acting as a natural sea defence."
The dunes on Barkby Beach are a Site of Special Scientific Interest and also a Special Protection area because of the important biodiversity.
They are home to the last seabird colony of little terns in Wales and are important for sand lizards, natterjack toads and rare orchids.
Mr Davies said the council hoped interpretation boards providing information and a new boardwalk system through the dunes would help people to enjoy them without causing damage.
Christmas trees are also being used in the reconstruction of sand dunes about four miles along from the beach, at Talacre in Flintshire.
The trees were collected by St Kentigern's Hospice in St Asaph, Denbighshire, which hopes its volunteers will be able to collect even more next year.
The 31-year-old Hertha Berlin player lost his father Antoine to a heart attack two weeks ago and is now also mourning the loss of his aunt Fernande.
He will fly home to spend time with his family during the international break.
Ivory Coast need only a draw with Sierra Leone on 3 September to qualify for the 2017 finals in Gabon.
"I'm travelling home to support my family," Kalou told German daily Bild.
"Of course, I am unbelievably sad and feel empty," he added, talking about the death of his father, after Hertha's 5-3 penalty shoot-out win at Jahn Regensburg in the first round of the German Cup last Sunday.
"Football is a therapy for me at the moment. It will take a while to get over this."
After this weekend's opening round of Bundesliga matches, Berlin's next German league game is on 10 September at Ingolstadt, but no date has been fixed for Kalou's return.
Kalou was Berlin's top scorer last season with 14 goals in 32 league games.
Chancellor George Osborne announced the proposals for an elected mayor covering Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Suffolk in his budget last week.
But some local MPs already fear the plan is starting to unravel.
It follows a unanimous vote by Cambridgeshire County Council to reject the deal in its present form.
There has also been criticism over the past few days by senior political figures including Sir Henry Bellingham and Lord Tebbit.
At Westminster Conservative MPs from the region have, off the record, used words such as "shambles", "dog's dinner" and "not properly thought through" to describe the current state of play. One senior Tory told the BBC: "I'm glad I have nothing to do with this."
The BBC understands MPs and a handful of local councillors from the East have approached the Treasury within the past 24 hours and asked it to appoint a senior figure, either a politician or a local business person, who can oversee the negotiations between the 23 councils.
They are also asking for longer to conclude a deal. At the moment the government wants all the councils to have agreed to it by the end of June.
Some MPs said the idea of an elected mayor was not popular with many people, while others said the money on offer - £1bn over 30 years - was not very much.
Government sources accepted there was a lot of unease at the moment and the idea of bringing in someone to oversee the negotiations and win widespread support for devolution was being considered. But they added agreement needed to be reached quickly and that a mayor for the region was non-negotiable.
A spokesman for the Department for Communities and Local Government said: "We are committed to the deal and will continue to work with all the councils in the area. This is a bottom up process and councils in East Anglia have until June to decide if they want to take part in this historic opportunity."
Cafodd y toriadau ei ddisgrifio gan lefarydd ar ran undeb CWU fel rhai "brawychus", a ddywedodd na fyddai cyflog cyfartalog is-bostfeistri o £10,000 y flwyddyn yn gallu ymdopi â'r gostyngiad.

The Electoral Commission said Theresa May's party reported £5.46m from donors between January and March, with mining millionaire Michael Davis providing the biggest gift of £317,000.
Unions helped Labour to report £2.64m given, with Unite donating £657,702.
The Lib Dems reported £603,155, UKIP £246,910, Greens £58,170, Plaid Cymru £23,000 and the SNP £301,935.
Among donations reported by Labour was £300,000 from former motor racing boss Max Mosley, who has used family money to fund press regulator Impress - and £376,242 from public services union Unison.
The commission said donations reported by political parties in the three-month period totalled £9.39m.
The Co-operative Party, whose candidates stand under the Labour banner, reported £322,800, while the Women's Equality Party reported £10,000 in donations and the Socialist Party of Great Britain reported £19,816, the Electoral Commission said.
Public funds are also listed for each party, which predominantly boost the totals for opposition parties.
Last week the regulator released figures showing donations for the opening days of the general election campaign - from 3 May, when Parliament was dissolved, until 9 May.
This showed the Tories had reported £4.1m in donations, compared with Labour's £2.7m, £180,000 for the Lib Dems, UKIP's £48,000, the Women's Equality Party's £20,544 and the Green Party's £15,000.
The council had issued a roll of 52 black bags to each household free of charge each year.
But councillors have now voted to stop the supply from 2016 onwards, with an estimated annual saving of £83,000.
Two years ago, the council reduced the size and quality of black bin bags, saving £130,000 a year.
The council report said it expected that "some residents who do not currently participate in the recycling scheme would be encouraged to do so".
Research by the Local Government Association says subsidised bus services in England have been reduced by more than 12% in the past year.
The LGA blamed cuts by the government to councils' budgets.
The Department for Transport said it was working with local transport companies to improve services and boost the use of buses.
In Britain last year, there were three times as many journeys taken on bus than on trains.
But the LGA - which represents councils in England and Wales - found the number of miles driven by council-subsidised buses in England (excluding London) dropped by 12% last year.
It says local authorities have been diverting money from subsidised bus services to fund the gap in the Concessionary Fares Scheme, which councils have a statutory duty to provide.
The scheme gives pensioners and disabled people in England free off-peak travel on all local bus services anywhere in England.
LGA transport spokesman Martin Tett said the figures show "just how much pressure many local bus services are under".
He added it was paramount the government fully funds the Concessionary Fares Scheme in the Autumn Statement.
Mr Tett said: "Years of underfunding of the scheme has forced councils to spend millions of pounds of taxpayers' money to subsidise the scheme.
"This is now impossible with councils having to make savings while struggling to protect vital services like adult social care, protecting children, filling potholes and collecting bins."
The Department for Transport said it wanted to see services thrive, particularly in rural areas.
A spokesman said: "While decisions on funding for local bus routes are a matter for local authorities, we provide around £250m to support services every year, serving local communities up and down the country.
"Our Bus Services Bill will give councils powers to work in partnership with local transport companies to improve the service passengers can expect and boost bus use."
The National Audit Office (NAO) said women, ethnic minorities and disabled people were under-represented, with a particular issue at senior levels.
Its study also found that some people were leaving Whitehall because they found the culture "exclusive".
The government said diversity had improved but there was more to do.
The NAO study into equality, diversity and inclusion in the civil service found that "good progress" had been made over time but had "plateaued more recently".
It said the Cabinet Office's "Talent Action Plan" to prioritise diversity in the civil service "acknowledged that while recruitment statistics show a good mix of people from a range of backgrounds, at senior civil service level, white middle-class males still predominate".
The report found that about 53% of civil servants were women, with 38% of senior level jobs and six out of 17 departmental head posts held by females.
Minority ethnic representation increased from 4% to 10% between 1988 and 2014, but was below the figure for the total working population, it said. And the figure was lower in the senior civil service, at 7%.
Meanwhile, representation of people with disabilities had made initial progress, but remained low at 5%, the report said.
The study said female and minority ethnic respondents "feel significantly more engaged than their immediate peers at lower grades, but less so at senior grades".
Meanwhile, civil servants with long-term health conditions felt "less engaged" and are "more likely to feel discriminated against, bullied or harassed", it said.
NAO head Amyas Morse said the civil service needed to reflect an "increasingly diverse society" and "embrace an inclusive approach" to its workforce.
This was particularly crucial at a time of "ongoing austerity" when Whitehall "will have to do more with less".
The watchdog boss also called for a greater focus by government departments on boosting the diversity of civil servant staff.
Responding to the report, a Cabinet Office spokesman said: "We have a world-class civil service which is much more diverse than in the past and more diverse than the majority of British employers, but we know there is lots more work to do."
The spokesman added that each government department had a diversity champion who would "hold our feet to the fire" in this area.
The blaze killed more than 150 people and came just a day before the religious festival of Eid.
Muhammad Hayat, 36, has been looking for his family ever since the disaster near the city of Ahmedpur East.
His wife and two children had gone with other relatives to the site of the stricken tanker.
It's not clear what started the fire.
The lorry overturned some 2km (about 1.5 miles) from their home in Basti Daad Potra, one of the many small rural settlements along the local highway.
None of Muhammad Hayat's family returned that day.
His 30-year-old wife, 13-year-old daughter and seven-year-old son had been with his younger brother and wife.
Looking for his loved ones, he first went to the two hospitals in Bahawalpur about 45km away, hoping he would find them among the injured. They weren't there.
"My heart sank. They [hospital staff] told me there were more than 100 dead who couldn't be identified," he told the BBC.
In fact 125 people were burnt beyond recognition. Only 24 of the dead have been identified and handed over to their families so far.
Soon after the raging blaze was put out, bodies were shifted to the Bahawal Victoria Hospital in Bahawalpur. Most of the more than 100 injured were also taken there as well as to the Combined Military Hospital in Bahawalpur.
From there, 59 more critical patients were airlifted to the Pak Italian Modern Burn Centre Multan, the only burn centre in this corner of Punjab, more than 100km from the accident site.
Muhammad Hayat was advised to visit Multan's burn centre and set off on the two-hour journey the same night. He found his daughter there.
Though conscious, she couldn't tell him much about the others and he had nowhere else left to go.
His worst fears, half-confirmed since leaving for Multan, were now becoming a certainty.
He relayed the news back home where his mother Zahura Bibi, 66, fainted.
Next day was Eid. Muhammad returned home, alone. His daughter remains in hospital.
News had already spread out in this closely-knit society of small villages on both sides of the highway. Soon after Eid prayers, mourners started arriving at the family's small mud house.
He was not the only one mourning. Many others in his village, and those around, had similar stories to tell. Some homes had more than four members missing, including children.
"It was difficult to determine how many children were among the dead. However, a large number of injured who were shifted to different hospitals were children," Dr Tahira Parveen, medical superintendent at Bahawal Victoria Hospital, told the BBC.
Like more than a hundred others, Muhammad has submitted his DNA samples at the hospital.
"They told me they would match it with unidentified bodies and if they find my wife and son they will call. If it doesn't match, they said, they were sorry," he says, drying his eyes with a cloth wrapped around his neck.
He seems to have already reconciled himself with his worst fears. But he is angry too. "Where were the police? Why did they not come when the tanker overturned and stop people from going near the leaking fuel?"
DNA test results normally take 14 days, says Dr Parveen.
Tuesday's mass burials are intended to be temporary, while relatives wait to see if they succeed in a DNA match with those who perished.
It is going to be a long, painful two weeks for Muhammad Hayat and eighty other families in this small rural area in Ahmedpur East.

The 2009 world champion dropped from 14th to 17th at the start before finishing in eighth place, one place ahead of team-mate Sergio Perez.

"It's a little bit embarrassing because we're not doing a very good job at the moment," said the Englishman.
"We are doing everything we can. Thanks for the support from the fans."
McLaren are enduring one of their worst starts to the season in their recent history, with hopes of a first constructors' title since 1998 fading by the race.
The team are sixth in the standings, 102 points behind leader Red Bull after five races. Their best finish so far came in China in April, when Button was fifth.
In the drivers' championship, Button and Perez are 72 and 77 points respectively behind leader Sebastian Vettel in his Red Bull.
McLaren made major design changes to their car for 2013, while most of their rivals took a more evolutionary approach, but the new car has suffered from a lack of aerodynamic downforce.
I got a bad start, dropping back to 17th, and I was in a whole world of pain right then
"We've got a lot of work to do," added Button, 33, after the race in Barcelona, won by Fernando Alonso. "There's a lot of useful information to go through from the new parts on the car and we've got some other parts coming for Monaco, too."
Although Button was unable to challenge for the big points, he took some consolation from the way the team's strategy helped him rise from 17th after the first corner to eighth at the finish.
"I got a bad start, dropping back to 17th, and I was in a whole world of pain right then," he said. "I just couldn't get any tyre temperature.
"It was a slow lap to grid for some reason. The leader can dictate pace and, when a Mercedes is dictating, it's very slow. It works for them but not for us.
"When we moved to the harder of the two tyre compounds after the first stop, the balance was much better. I overtook a Mercedes and beat some cars we didn't think we would.
"It's not fantastic, but to get through to eighth shows a good job by the team in terms of strategy."
This time last year, McLaren were second in the constructors' championship with 98 points. That compares to sixth place and 29 points in 2013
Perez, 23, rued the decision to go out in the final part of qualifying rather tactically not set a time to save tyres.
"I'm a bit disappointed," said the Mexican. "We didn't maximise the full potential of the car. I think we paid for what we did in qualifying by going out in Q3. We lost laps on the tyres there - and that really affected us.
"Our car is still improving, and I think we can do a slightly better job at Monaco. After that, I hope we'll be able to gradually close the gap to the cars in front of us over the next few races."
Team principal Martin Whitmarsh added: "We scored six points today and we aren't satisfied with that.
"Nonetheless, to score points with both cars in what was a decidedly technical race is a very creditable achievement and constitutes a solid platform from which to move forwards from here on in."
Rosberg, the world championship leader, failed to do a single lap as his car suffered a water leak.
Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo was second, 0.391 seconds off Hamilton and 0.235secs ahead of team-mate Max Verstappen.
Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen were next, with McLaren's Fernando Alonso in a surprise sixth.
British Grand Prix qualifying and the race will be live on the BBC Sport website and radio 5 live Sports Extra.
Rosberg's problems, which put him on the back foot heading into qualifying on Saturday because of a lack of preparation time, come against a backdrop of internal tension at Mercedes following the collision between the two drivers on the final lap of last Sunday's Austrian Grand Prix.
Hamilton and Rosberg have been told they are on their "final warning" and that "financial and sporting penalties" could follow if they crash together again.
Rosberg has an 11-point advantage over Hamilton after he dropped from first to fourth following his ill-fated attempt to defend against the world champion at Turn Two at the Red Bull Ring.
Hamilton went on to win the race and Rosberg was penalised by stewards after being found at fault for the incident.
Possibly. Mercedes appear to be in a league of their own over one lap, but in race trim it may be closer.
In the final part of second practice, the teams simulate the race, running heavy fuel loads.
As Rosberg sat in the garage with the gearbox off his car, Hamilton's initial pace on his first-stint race-simulation run on soft tyres was initially very strong - a second or so faster than the Red Bulls.
But as the runs progressed, the Red Bull hung on to its pace longer and by the end of the runs their average pace was very similar.
Ferrari's runs were not comparable as they ran different tyres at different times.
But BBC F1 analyst Allan McNish said Ferrari were struggling, adding: "It is Red Bull who are going to take the fight to Mercedes on today's performance."
Behind the top three teams, Alonso's pace gave McLaren encouragement.
The Spaniard said on Thursday he was expecting to be qualifying in the top 10 and scoring points again after three difficult races, and it seems he may be on the money.
Honda's engine has an upgrade on its intake system for this weekend, which has meant the use of two of the company's permitted development 'tokens'.
Alonso's team-mate, Jenson Button, was struggling with a lack of grip and was 0.8secs slower in ninth place despite setting his time much later in the session when the track would have been faster.
Williams's Valtteri Bottas was seventh, ahead of an encouraging showing from the new Haas team for Romain Grosjean in eighth.
Renault's Jolyon Palmer was 18th fastest, an encouraging two places and 0.349secs quicker than team-mate Kevin Magnussen, who had to sit out the first session as reserve driver Esteban Ocon was given a run in the car.
And there was another notable performance from Manor's Pascal Wehrlein, who was 17th, ahead of both Renaults, after scoring the first point of his career and for the team this season in Austria last weekend.
Force India drivers Nico Hulkenberg and Sergio Perez were 15th and 16th but did not do qualifying simulation runs in the second session and can be expected to be close to if not in the top 10 in qualifying.

British Grand Prix coverage details
Peter Barnes, 50, died when the helicopter he was flying clipped a crane at St George Wharf in Vauxhall, during freezing fog in January 2013.
Pedestrian Matthew Wood, 39, was hit and killed by the falling helicopter.
The jury found poor visibility confused the pilot and resulted in the accidental deaths of the two men.
Latest updates on this case and other London stories
Twelve other people on the ground were also injured in the crash.
Mr Barnes, a pilot of 24 years, was under great commercial pressure to satisfy an important client that morning when he made the flawed decision to fly, which was "neither safe nor appropriate", the inquest heard.
He had been flying from Redhill Aerodrome in Surrey to Elstree in Hertfordshire but was diverted to Battersea heliport.
The jury accepted the Air Accident Investigation Branch's evidence that Mr Barnes experienced a "loss of situational awareness" because of poor visibility, causing the accident.
RotorMotion, the firm he was flying for, is no longer trading.
Coroner Andrew Harris addressed the relatives of Mr Barnes and Mr Wood at the inquest.
He said nothing would reverse the "tragic, sudden and completely unexpected" loss of their loved ones, but added he hoped possible prevention of deaths in future would mean some good could come of the accident.
Evidence from pilots, air traffic controllers and air crash investigators was included in the three-week inquest.
According to witnesses, pilots had to deal with conflicting rules around flying in the fog.
They were told to maintain a 500ft buffer zone from any structure, but flight paths, tall buildings and altitude restrictions often interfered, witnesses told the jury.
Low cloud cover and freezing fog, the conditions at the time of the crash, further complicated matters for pilots who were forced to descend for better visibility, the court heard.
He said he did not want gay people to be "excluded from a great institution", but would not force any groups to hold ceremonies in their places of worship.
Ministers will reveal their response to a consultation next week. MPs will be given a free vote on the issue.
The Church of England said it would study the proposals but was firmly against same-sex marriage.
In a statement, the Church said: "We believe that redefining marriage to include same-sex relationships will entail a dilution in the meaning of marriage for everyone by excluding the fundamental complementarity of men and women from the social and legal definition of marriage.
"Given the absence of any manifesto commitment for these proposals - and the absence of any commitment in the most recent Queen's Speech - there will need to be an overwhelming mandate from the consultation to move forward with these proposals and make them a legislative priority."
The Church said its stance was not a "knee-jerk resistance to change", but was "motivated by a concern for the good of all in society".
Mr Cameron's proposals have also angered some Tory MPs who have opposed the change in the law.
Bob Blackman, MP for Harrow East, warned there will be "outrage throughout the country" and a "clear backlash" against David Cameron's proposals.
He told BBC News: "Marriage is between one man and one woman and so changes to the definition of marriage are not appreciated and not strongly supported."
By Mike WooldridgeNews correspondent, BBC News, London
When consultations were first held on the proposal to change the law to provide for same sex marriage, the Church of England predicted that it would be divisive and said it reflected a failure to understand that marriage was more than a ceremony.
After the prime minister's latest statement on this issue , the Church insisted that its concern was for the good of all in society - including upholding the potential in a marriage between a man and a woman of "the fruitfulness of procreation".
The Church argues that it cannot be accused of "knee-jerk resistance to change".
There are elements in the Church - and in some other religious institutions - that would be more in favour of same sex marriage.
The Lesbian and Gay Christian Movement said no faith and no denomination should be forced into performing a marriage for a same sex couple - but if it was in keeping with their theology they should not be deprived of the opportunity of doing so.
The debate looks set to intensify.
He said he was against teachers "being forced to say same sex relationships are the equivalent of heterosexual relationships" - something he said would happen if the move become law.
Labour and the Lib Dems have yet to decide whether to join the Conservatives in granting their MPs a free vote on the issue, although the majority of MPs in the three parties are thought likely to back it.
But Mr Blackman predicted the legislation could face "an interesting challenge" in the House of Lords.
Conservative MP Stewart Jackson tweeted that the Bill would be "massacred in the Lords", adding, in a swipe at the prime minister: "Arrogant Cameron knows best."
Mr Cameron said: "I'm a massive supporter of marriage and I don't want gay people to be excluded from a great institution.
"But let me be absolutely 100% clear: if there is any church or any synagogue or any mosque that doesn't want to have a gay marriage it will not, absolutely must not, be forced to hold it.
"That is absolutely clear in the legislation.
"Also let me make clear, this is a free vote for Members of Parliament, but personally I will be supporting it."
The government's initial consultation document said it would not be possible for a same-sex couple to get married in church and other religious premises.
Under the new proposals, due to be outlined next week by Equalities Minister Maria Miller, religious organisations which do not want to host same-sex weddings will be given an absolute guarantee they will not be forced to do so.
But Whitehall sources say the best way to make the guarantee "water-tight" is to allow religions to opt in to hosting same-sex ceremonies if they want to.
Labour leader Ed Miliband and deputy prime minister Nick Clegg also support gay marriage in church.
Mr Clegg said: "It's very important to remember that in our plans we're not going to force any church or any religious denomination to hold same-sex marriage ceremonies if they don't want to but I do think it's time that we allow any couple, no matter who they are, to marry if that's what they want to do."
Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said: "I hope David Cameron will not be deterred by opposition within his own party and beyond.
"We need the government to move forward with an early debate in Parliament so the issue doesn't stall."
The Church of England and Roman Catholics, among other denominations, have voiced opposition to same-sex marriage.
But some religious groups, including Quakers, Unitarians and Liberal Judaism, are in favour of gay marriage and are thought likely to apply to be allowed to stage ceremonies.
Paul Parker, recording clerk for Quakers in Britain, said: "For Quakers, this is an issue of religious freedom and we don't seek to impose this on others."
Benjamin Cohen, of Out4Marriage, which backs same-sex weddings, said he was "delighted" by Mr Cameron's announcement.
"Legislation must give individual religious organisations the freedom to decide for themselves whether to hold same-sex marriages.
"None should be forced to, but those that wish to must be given the rights to do so."
Colin Hart, campaign director for the Coalition For Marriage, which opposes same-sex marriage, said: "The decision to press ahead with the profoundly undemocratic proposals to rewrite the traditional meaning of marriage is deeply disappointing and regrettable.
"What is even more alarming is the PM has gone back on his promises that churches will be protected.
"The suggestion that by creating an 'opt-in system' you somehow prevent churches, mosques and synagogues being sued is risible. This is now made much more likely."
James Morris was admitted to hospital with a broken leg in 1962 but never went home after suffering a cardiac arrest on the operating table.
He was left in a vegetative state after the operation and was moved to Wester Moffat Hospital in Airdrie, North Lanarkshire.
The Army veteran, who could only say three words, died in April aged 75.
His brother Karl Morris, 62, said a member of staff from Wester Moffat had suggested that no-one had been in care in a single hospital longer than James, who was just 21 when he was admitted.
Karl Morris, from Coatbridge, said: "Over the years we found a way to communicate with him. He was all there mentally but couldn't communicate with us at all.
"He only ever learned how to say three words again - his three loves - 'home', 'pub' and 'horses'.
"We often took him on holidays in Britain and the hospital knew how much he loved the pub so they would even take him there now and again."
James Morris was serving in the Scottish Rifle regiment, the Cameronians, in Germany when he was injured in a car crash.
He only broke his nose and thigh bone in the crash but part of his brain shut down during the operation on his thigh.
Helen Ryan, senior charge nurse at Wester Moffat, said: "Our condolences are with Jimmy's family at this time.
"Having spent such an extraordinarily long time at the hospital, Jimmy touched the lives of many. He was a good confidant and a great character and he will be sorely missed by everyone at the Heather Ward."
Wester Moffat Hospital confirmed Mr Morris had spent 54 years in their care after spending two years in other hospitals.
An NHS spokesman said they were not aware of anyone having spent longer than 54 years in an NHS hospital.
Karl Morris has praised the "unbelievable" staff at Wester Moffat for the care they gave his brother.
He said: "Everyone at the hospital was outstanding, to care for a man throughout his entire life is quite something and we couldn't be more grateful to the NHS.
"It was a place for young disabled people and over the years I've seen countless patients and staff come and go.
"We made sure he got out over the years to live as fulfilling a life as possible and even right up to the week before he died we brought him home to visit."

They have also called on Dumfries and Galloway Council to provide more information to schools and parents about plans to axe more than 50 posts.
A group of parents claim the move could affect all school children, not just those with additional learning needs.
The authority claims changes are needed as part of a drive to save ??32m.
At a meeting in November, the council's education committee agreed to a savings package which would result in the loss of 52 positions from the learning support department.
The petition was set up by parents Roy Holden, of Dumfries, and Demi Powell, of Dalbeattie, who are leading a campaign against the changes.
They both have children who require help from school support staff.
Ms Powell said: "What we are really concerned about is the level of the cuts that are happening. It's a big number of people to lose from the service.
"Parents have struggled to get an appropriate level of support in the current service.
"They are not cutting a service that has a lot of extra capacity. They are cutting a service that's already stretched to the limit."
She said many teachers feel they are not appropriately trained to undertake the work that has been carried out by support staff in the past.
All children will suffer because teachers will have less time to spend with the whole class, she said.
"The teachers have recently implemented a whole new curriculum, and in the secondary schools they have a new qualification system.
"They're being stretched as it is. We want the best for all the children in the region."
A spokesman for the council said that the supported learning department, which has 29 different teams, is "too complex" and could be "significantly improved".
He said the changes will be introduced over three years, it will target those most in need, increase early intervention and it will provide more flexible support tailored to the needs of each child.
A letter is currently being drawn up which will explain the changes to parents and guardians.
He added: "We recognise the need to engage fully with families about the proposals and therefore family engagement forums will shortly be held across the region to ensure that families are kept informed during the development of the new model and to minimise any negative impact for families."
The tourists, 340-3 overnight, declared on 427-3 as Shai Hope (107) and Roston Chase (110) reached their centuries.
Captain Jason Holder (3-48) then led the way with the pink ball, which will also be used in next week's day-night Test against England at Edgbaston.
After Derbyshire were bowled out for 181, the Windies opted to bat again and were 60-1 by close of play at Derby.
Only teenager Calum Brodrick (52), on his first-class debut, and opener Ben Slater (39) passed 20 for the hosts.
The Windies' pace quartet - Shannon Gabriel, Kemar Roach, Alzarri Joseph and Holder - were all in the wickets as they warmed up for the first day-night Test to be held in England.
However, Gabriel, playing his first game of the tour, sent down 20 no-balls as his nine overs cost 64 runs.
Keeper Shane Dowrich had a busy day with five catches off the seamers as well as a stumping off Chase's off-spin when Brodrick was the eighth man out after adding 55 with stand-in skipper Tony Palladino.
West Indies had not registered a century in their first two tour games against Essex and Kent, which were both drawn.
But earlier in the day, Hope and Chase joined Hope's brother Kyle, Friday's centurion, in reaching three figures against an inexperienced county attack which included two teenagers and four others under 25.
Opener Kraigg Brathwaite, who fell cheaply for the second time in the match to give 16-year-old seamer James Taylor his maiden first-class wicket, will be the only West Indian to feel he missed out.
North Yorkshire County Council voted 7-4 in favour of Third Energy's application to extract shale gas at a site near Kirby Misperton in Ryedale.
Friends of the Earth and Frack Free Ryedale said they would be seeking legal advice and launched a People's Declaration in a bid to stop fracking.
Third Energy says the process is safe.
Fracking is the process of drilling down into the earth before a high-pressure water mixture is directed at rock to release the gas inside.
Opponents say it can cause water contamination, earthquakes and noise and traffic pollution.
Third Energy's application was passed by the council's planning committee on Monday.
More than 4,300 objections to the application were received and 100 people gave evidence during the two-day hearing. Just 36 representations in support of the application were received.
Ryedale District Councillor Di Keal, of Frack Free Ryedale, told BBC Radio York: "People are very down, people are very upset - there were tears yesterday. But I know people round here, they will stand up and they will fight. This battle does go on.
"We will be looking to take legal opinion on what we can do."
Friends Of The Earth campaigner Simon Bowens said the organisation would "consider all options available, and that includes judicial review", but would not expand on what any legal challenge might focus on.
Both groups are urging people to support their campaign by signing a Public Declaration, which states that "we remain opposed to fracking in Yorkshire, in Britain, and across the world".
Protesters have also raised concerns that passing the application will open the floodgates to hundreds of other wells.
But planning committee chairman Peter Sowray said: "This planning application has nothing to do with any more wells. It was just about the test stimulation of the one well."
He said some opposition was based on "emotions" rather than "genuine planning reasons", and he was confident in the safety assurances given by Third Energy and the Environment Agency.
Since the application was passed, Conservative councillor Cliff Trotter, who voted in favour of fracking, said he had received intimidating emails.
He told BBC Radio 5 Live: "Yes, a few. But that's par for the course, I suppose."
Third Energy operations director John Dewar said he was "absolutely confident" that the operation - called KM8 - would run according to plan. He could not say whether fracking there would be commercially viable.
"What we can't predict at this moment in time how much [gas] will flow and how long it will flow for," he said.
"We do know the gas is down there and I'm absolutely confident we will be able to fracture each of the five zones safely, and then we just have to wait and see what quantity and what rate of gas comes back."
The onshore energy industry has welcomed the decision.
The chief executive of UK Onshore Oil and Gas, Ken Cronin, said fracking could help to combat climate change.
He said: "What we've seen in the US is a massive reduction in emissions coming from the electricity sector, as a result of a shift from coal to gas.
"We've also seen a very significant shift from coal to gas in this country over the course of the last six months.
"And that's partly down to the North Sea, partly down to on-shore and also partly down to renewables."
Nicholas Salvador, of Gilda Avenue, Enfield, is accused of killing Palmira Silva, 82, who was found in a garden in Edmonton, north London, on Thursday.
The 25-year-old is also charged with assaulting a police officer.
A post-mortem examination on Saturday found Ms Silva died from stab wounds to the heart and aorta. She was found decapitated, it is understood.
Mr Salvador was remanded in custody during a hearing at Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court and is due to appear at the Old Bailey on Tuesday.
The defendant was taken to the dock in the magistrates' court by four police officers, the BBC's Sophie Long said.
She said one officer had to confirm Mr Salvador's name to the court as he would not answer.
Police found Ms Silva's body behind a property, in Nightingale Road, after being called to the area following reports an animal had been attacked.
Officers evacuated nearby homes before the suspect was Tasered.
Neighbours described Ms Silva as a "lovely lady" and said she was an Italian widow who ran a cafe in Church Street, near Edmonton Green station.

CAS wants the UK government to halt the introduction of Personal Independence Payments (PIP) which replace Disability Living Allowance (DLA).
The PIP system was introduced as part of wider reforms to the welfare system.
The Smith Commission proposed control of this benefit be devolved.
CAS has argued that Scottish claimants would be switched to the new system now, only to be moved again in two years' time when control over the benefit is handed to the Scottish government.
It warned this could lead to delays and uncertainty.
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) began a rollout of the PIP in Scotland in January 2014.
CAS chief executive Margaret Lynch said: "As we know that the Scottish government will be developing and introducing its own PIP equivalent, we don't want to see disabled claimants having to go through changes in their payments twice in a short period of time.
"I think this will be of major detriment to claimants and is unnecessary and possibly very distressing.
"In addition it seems a waste of resources to pay for the assessments of tens of thousands of disabled people to transfer them on to a system that they will not be staying on. "
Ms Lynch has written to Scottish Secretary Alistair Carmichael and Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith urging them to halt the introduction of PIP in Scotland.
However, a DWP spokesman said: "Under the Personal Independence Payment, claimants receive a face-to-face assessment and regular reviews to ensure support is directed according to need.
"Latest figures show just that, with over 22% of people getting the highest level of support under PIP, compared to 16% under the outgoing DLA system.
"To halt this progress now would be to disadvantage disabled people across Scotland." | If a child has autism, the risk of a younger sibling also developing the disorder is higher than previously thought, says a large US study.

The 18-year-old defender, who signed his first professional deal at the Riverside in April 2017, has been admitted to the Freeman Hospital in Newcastle for treatment.
"We were all saddened and shocked to the hear news about Anthony," said manager Garry Monk.
"He's got our full support and we'll be with him every step of the way."
A statement on the club website said: "As a club we have been right behind Anthony and the family, offering logistical and moral support and as everyone, Anthony especially, comes to terms with the situation the need for continued support from everyone is obvious."
Wolves goalkeeper Carl Ikeme, 31, was also diagnosed with leukaemia at the start of July. Wolves will host Middlesbrough on the first day of the new Championship season on 5 August.
The Yorkshire rider led from start to finish and had a 14.3-second advantage over Michael Dunlop by the end.
Dunlop was later disqualified due to a technical infringement, moving Dean Harrison up to second with James Hillier in the final podium position.
Hutchinson was just outside Dunlop's lap record of 128.666mph as he set the fastest lap at 128.26.
Dunlop was excluded from the results after the infringement was identified during a post-race examination.
The organisers have said they "do not believe there was a deliberate attempt to gain an unfair advantage and no significant performance advantage was gained".
Came Yamaha rider Hutchinson, a double winner in the Supersport class last year, made his intentions clear from the start as he built up a 10-second lead over his nearest rival Dunlop thanks to an opening lap of 127.87.
He maintained a steady pace to see off the challenge of his Northern Irish rival, beating the previous race record by 15.2 seconds.
For Hutchinson, it was a seventh triumph in the 600cc class, the most by any rider.
The Bingley rider, who was again racing for Prodigy frontman Keith Flint's Team Traction Control team, joins Dunlop as the fourth most successful solo rider in the history of the event.
"I seem to have a real connection with this bike and I knew I had to push really hard in the first two sectors," said Hutchinson, after a race held in perfect conditions.
"I lost a few seconds here and there after I ran into some backmarkers but I knew it would be the same for Michael."
Manxman Conor Cummins and 23-times winner John McGuinness made up the top five, with Lee Johnston and William Dunlop in sixth and seventh positions.
Leading contenders Peter Hickman and Bruce Anstey were among the retirements.
The Royals are fourth in the Championship, but face four of the top six sides in their next six fixtures.
Stam's side lost 1-0 to promotion rivals Huddersfield on Tuesday, ending a six-match unbeaten run, but the Dutchman remains confident.
"The players believe in the system that brought us to the point where we are now today," the 44-year-old said.
The defeat by third-placed Huddersfield left Reading eight points adrift of the automatic promotion places with 13 matches remaining.
The Royals play Brighton on Saturday, with fixtures against Newcastle, Sheffield Wednesday and Leeds also scheduled over the next six weeks.
Although Reading have conceded 42 goals in the league this season - seven more than any other top-six side - Stam believes his players are fully onboard with his tactics.
He told BBC Radio Berkshire: "If we keep on doing it we can dominate the game, play well, go forward and create chances. The belief is there and there's no changing that.
"We'll keep on doing what we've been doing until the end of the season, it's given us success and points.
"At this stage you want to measure yourself against the best teams in the Championship. It would be nice, when you play them, to win those games and stay in the top six."
The man in his 80s, who cannot be named, is under the care of Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Board.
Doctors fear he is experiencing pain, but his daughter thinks he is improving.
The health board has asked the Court of Protection to make decisions about his future treatment.
The hearing in London was told the man is a Swansea City fan and a retired steelworker. He suffered brain damage after a heart attack last summer.
Medical experts told Mr Justice Hayden on Tuesday the man had a life-expectancy measured in months.
But his daughter said she thought he was improving and he would want to carry on living.
She said: "I think he is going to make a better recovery than doctors think.
"We know dad is not going to get back like he was, but I firmly believe that his remaining days will be happy."
She added her father was a Christian.
"He loves life. It is important to him - the sanctity of life," she said. "We have to leave it up to God."
The health board has asked the court to consider whether continuing "active" treatment was in the best interest of the patient.
The hearing is expected to end later this week.
The Championship's second-top scorer tucked home his first of the day after a defence-splitting pass from Romaine Sawyers.
Burton, without an away win this season, levelled when Jamie Ward finished Lucas Akins' pull-back.
But Hogan reacted first to a loose ball and rounded Jon McLaughlin to tap into an empty net and give the Bees victory.
Dean Smith's side had been on a four-game losing streak, but the three points lifted them up to 16th, while the Brewers dropped a place to 20th.
In addition to his two goals, Hogan also hit the post with a clever lob as the hosts tried to break the deadlock before half-time.
And, but for John Brayford's goalline clearance in injury time, Tom Field would have made it 3-1.
Burton's best chance to level for a second time came when Will Miller found space on the edge of the box, but he could not beat Dan Bentley in the home goal.
Brentford manager Dean Smith told BBC Radio London:
"We deserved to win the game behind the chances we created, we were a little sloppy on the ball in the second-half but the chances we've had we could have put the game to bed earlier than we did.
"They put a lot of balls into the box we had to defend but we defended them well.
"That's what [goalscorer] Scott Hogan does best, he could have had a few more as well."
Burton Albion manager Nigel Clough told BBC Radio Derby:
"It was an opportunity missed, second-half we were better, first-half ironically we went in 1-1 and were well in the game but we were more unlucky in the second-half.
"We didn't stop Brentford playing enough, we think sometimes we can come away and play our football but sometimes it's about stopping the opposition.
"When they've lost four games on the spin they're going to come out of the blocks."

"Prince" Roy Bates set up the Principality of Sealand in international waters seven miles off the coast of Felixstowe, Suffolk.
Mr Bates died on Tuesday at a nursing home in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex.
His son "Prince" Michael said he would be remembered as a man who stood up to the establishment.
World War II veteran Roy Bates was involved in setting up the pirate radio station Radio Essex at a different offshore platform before moving to Roughs Tower, which he renamed Sealand and declared it as independent territory in 1967.
The tower was built as a platform for anti-aircraft guns during World War II.
Michael Bates, who lives in Southend, Essex, said: "He was an extremely intelligent and active man and he developed Alzheimer's, which he would have absolutely hated, and he barely recognized his family over the last few years.
"My father will always be remembered for shaking up the establishment with pirate radio, declaring Sealand's independence and confronting the Royal Navy and other foreign governments."
During the Bates' time on the platform, they saw off an attempt by the Royal Navy to evict them, and an attempt by a group of German and Dutch businessmen to seize control of the platform by force in 1978.
Michael Bates said they were taken to Holland and he returned with his father to successfully recapture Sealand and the five men who were on it.
He said: "We were both armed and that's certainly one of the most memorable days I spent with him."
Britain extended its territorial waters in 1987 to include Sealand.
Roy Bates' funeral service is due to take place at Southend-on-Sea Crematorium next Wednesday.
As well as his son, Roy Bates leaves his widow "Princess Joan", his daughter Penny and four grandchildren.
Sealand, now run by Michael Bates, is used as a base for internet servers and other business ventures.
Ms Clinton, 34, and husband Marc Mezvinsky will welcome the new addition to their family later this year.
Ms Clinton currently serves as vice chair of the charitable Clinton Foundation, focusing on global health initiatives.
She has told US media she has not ruled out a political run in the future.
Chelsea Clinton made the announcement at a public event with her mother in New York organised by a Clinton Foundation initiative to advance the cause of women and girls around the world.
"Mark and I are very excited that we have our first child arriving," she said.
"I certainly feel all the better whether it's a girl or a boy that she or he will grow up in a world full of so many strong young female leaders," she added.
"I just hope that I will be as good a mom to my child... as my mother was to me."
Hillary Clinton is currently considered a strong contender for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination, although she has yet to announce her intent to run.
Nearly a quarter of children reported being taught by a supply teacher every week, in a survey for assembly members.
One inspector said every school they spoke to could give an example of a supply teacher being asked to leave due to concerns about their work.
In Welsh-medium schools nearly half of pupils said they were taught in English when supply teachers took lessons.
The problem stems from teacher absence in Wales - with nearly 10% of lessons being covered by supply teachers.
Nearly 1,000 pupils took part in a questionnaire for the Assembly's education committee, which is looking into the supply teacher issue.
Catherine Evans, an inspector with Estyn told AMs: "Every school was able to give an example of how they'd had to ask someone to leave and not return to work at the school.
"And in those examples it wasn't anything serious enough to have to contact the General Teaching Council for Wales (GTCW) or go down that kind of route. But they were serious enough to cause enough of a concern that they didn't want those people to return to work at their school."
She also conceded it was possible those supply teachers could continue to work at other schools.
Ms Evans said there were also questions about the quality of the teaching which emerged from some of the responses to the questionnaire.
"Sometimes pupils worked on paper, and that work then wasn't marked it just seemed to disappear into the ether," she said.
"They sometimes undertook tasks like watching a film or a word search and that didn't always connect with their prior learning."
There is also a concern about a lack of training.
Estyn's incoming chief inspector Meilyr Rowlands said: "The bottom line is money.
"All of those things [personal development training] would cost and I don't think anybody wants to pay - the schools, the local authority or the agency don't want to pay for developing supply staff and supply staff themselves don't want to give up a day."
The committee's inquiry will be looking at all aspects of how supply teachers are used and monitored and the impact on pupil performance.
Harris, a 17-year-old winger, won League Two's apprentice of the year award this season and has made three senior appearances.
Midfielder Scowen, 18, has featured twice for the Chairboys.
Defender Stewart, 18, and 17-year-old midfielder Kewley-Graham have yet to make their senior bows.
Head of youth Richard Dobson said: "I'm pleased that their hard work has earned them this reward, but it's important they carry on working hard and learning as young professionals next season.
"The players that haven't been offered professional deals can hold their heads high with what they have achieved on the pitch and the style of the play they have brought to the youth team."
Boss Gary Waddock added: "I've followed the lads' progress very closely and Richard Dobson has done a fantastic job in preparing them for senior football.
"I'm looking forward to welcoming them into the first-team squad and they have the potential to become very exciting players for the club."
The government is scrapping automatic "cost caps" which limit the costs of losing such a challenge.
Opponents claim the changes will make it "impossible" to "hold the government to account".
But the government says people will not be expected to pay above their means.
The caps currently stand at £5,000 for an individual and £10,000 for an organisation.
The normal "loser pays rule" means that successful claimants can claim their legal costs back from the defendant.
But if they lose, they have to pay both their own legal costs, and those of the winning side.
Under the changes, any person or organisation wanting to bring a judicial review in environmental cases will not automatically receive the protection of a '"cost cap" if they lose.
That could mean individuals having to sell a house.
ClientEarth, Friends of the Earth and the RSPB are challenging the rule change in the courts, arguing those bringing such cases would be exposed to huge and uncertain financial risk.
The "cost caps" came in in 2013 in part due to the international Aarhus Convention, which was ratified by the government in 2005.
It requires contracting parties to ensure that legal action to protect the environment is "fair, equitable, timely and not prohibitively expensive".
This recognises that the environment cannot protect itself and that there is a public interest in people and groups bringing legal actions to protect it.
Before the caps the cost of bringing cases could be huge.
In one concerning the construction of a funicular railway up Cairngorm Mountain in Scotland, WWF was ordered to pay the government's legal costs of over £200,000 on losing.
In another, local resident Lilian Pallikaropoulos faced a costs bill of just under £90,000 after losing her challenge against the legality of a large cement works near her home in Rugby, Warwickshire.
Under the new rules, the court can look at the financial resources of a claimant and discard the automatic cost cap.
This could involve an assessment of how much their house is worth and whether they should be forced to sell it if they lose.
It is estimated that some 40,000 people in the UK die prematurely each year because of air pollution.
The group ClientEarth has brought successful legal challenges against the government's failure to meet EU targets on air pollution.
Its chief executive James Thornton said: "By removing cost caps and allowing personal finances to be publicly examined, it creates a huge deterrent for those who would use law to defend people's health and the natural world.
"With unlimited legal costs, it will be virtually impossible to bring a public interest case and hold the government to account.
"This is especially true after a hard Brexit - which looks increasingly likely - when the EU won't be able to punish UK law breaking."
Campaigners say the UK's public interest cost rules are already more punitive than the US, China, and any other country in the EU.
They claim environmental public interest cases made up less than 1% of all judicial reviews from 2013 to 2015, and that they achieve twelve times the success rate of other judicial reviews.
A Ministry of Justice spokesman said: "The cost of bringing environmental challenges must not be prohibitively expensive and our changes will ensure that individuals are not expected to pay legal costs above their means. Legal aid remains available for these cases".
But last week, a House of Lords committee concluded that "people with a genuine complaint will be discouraged from pursuing it in the courts".
Andy and Rebecca Peden and their two-year-old daughter escaped from the house in Kiltarriff Drive, Rathfriland, in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
The family lost all their belongings in the blaze, including their Christmas presents, wedding photographs and photos of their daughter.
However, in response to the news, more than ten thousand pounds has been donated online, with offers of help flooding in from across Northern Ireland.
Mr Peden said the outpouring of goodwill has brought back the sense of festive spirit which they believed was lost.
"It's been a real shock, but the generosity and kindness of everybody, it's just made it feel more like Christmas again," he said.
"We thought our Christmas was going to be lost this year, but the donations that everybody has given us will help to ease the pain that we've suffered.
"People refer to the help of the neighbours, we don't see them as neighbours now, we see them as friends. Without them, we wouldn't be here today.
"The shock of losing the house, it's a big enough shock, but the shock of the generosity and kindness of people, it's overwhelming.
"We can only thank the stores and the shops and all our friends and family and the local politicians from all sides, from the DUP, to the UUP, to Sinn Féin.
"They've all rallied together and it just shows that Rathfriland sticks together as a community, no matter what race, colour or religion you might be."
Mrs Peden expressed relief that they now have presents for their child on Christmas morning.
"Otherwise we would have had nothing," she said.
"Things are looking a wee bit brighter now and we're just so thankful. We're in a bit of a daze"
The blaze broke out at about 02:00 GMT on Tuesday. Mr Peden said he was woken up by a neighbour banging on the front door.
"There could have been three deaths, if we hadn't managed to get out so quickly," he said.
Forty-two firefighters worked to bring the blaze under control.
"The heat coming through the panes of glass was incredible, it was boiling hot," said Mr Peden.
"I ran upstairs to wake Rebecca and Daisy [their daughter], just to tell them that there was a fire.
"Rebecca grabbed the child out of bed and started to come downstairs, I had to run up past her to get the keys for the front door.
"As soon as I opened the door the embers and the heat just met me at the front door and I knew we had to get out, I knew the fire was going to spread."
He added: "I just wanted my family to be safe, that was all that mattered to me."
The family had to borrow clothes as they left the house in their nightwear.
Environment Minister Mark H Durkan said the incident was of great concern to him, "especially given the fact that there was a risk to human safety".
"Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA) officers are providing guidance and assistance to the fire service and they are assessing the environmental impact of the fire.
"NIEA officers have initially assessed the impact to the environment as low."
Other politicians praised firefighters for tackling the blaze in challenging conditions.
South Down MP Margaret Ritchie, of the SDLP, said there was "huge relief that nobody was killed or injured".
Sinn Féin MLA Chris Hazzard said that was "no doubt due to the prompt response of the Fire and Rescue Service".
County Down fire crews from Rathfriland, Newry, Warrenpoint and Banbridge took part in the operation, along with a command support unit from Lisburn, County Antrim.
"On arrival, crews noted the fire involved one detached dwelling and plastics stored in the yard of a nearby factory," Paddy Gallagher, the fire service's area commander, said.
He added conditions were "particularly difficult due to high winds".
Last month, the assembly heard that since 2010, there had been 18 fires at waste recycling sites across Northern Ireland.
The body of India Chipchase, 20, was found under sheeting on a mattress at a house in Stanley Road in Northampton on 31 January.
Edward Tenniswood, 52, of Stanley Road, Northampton, denies murder and rape.
Christopher Christon saw Ms Chipchase "stumbling" across the road near NB's club in Northampton.
LIVE: For more on this and other stories from Northamptonshire
He told Birmingham Crown Court he was waiting for a lift home with his wife Jacqueline near the club at about 01:00 GMT on Saturday 30 January when he saw Ms Chipchase on her phone.
He said: "She seemed quite distressed. I think she was trying to get through to someone. It seemed like she was crying."
Ms Chipchase was outside the club after she got separated from her friends inside, when at about 01.15 she was approached by a man who the prosecution have claimed was Mr Tenniswood.
Mr Christon said he saw an older man wearing a Parka-type jacket and a rucksack get "all the way up" to Ms Chipchase and "put his arm around her".
The witness said he was concerned enough to tell his wife to keep watching, but it did not appear to him that Ms Chipchase responded to the older man in any way during a 20-minute period.
Samuel Stein QC, defending, asked: "Did it look like the girl was ignoring the bloke?"
Mr Christon replied: "I just think she was that drunk that she didn't know what was going on."
Jurors have heard about DNA and fingerprint evidence from examinations of Mr Tenniswood's rented terrace house in Stanley Road, Northampton, where Ms Chipchase's body was found.
Laboratory tests on a cigarette butt discovered in a cup in the kitchen bin found DNA matching only that of Ms Chipchase.
The trial continues.
Eurozone finance ministers also agreed on debt relief for Greece, extending the repayment period and capping interest rates.
Greece needed this tranche of cash to meet debt repayments due in July.
The Greek government owes its creditors more than €300bn - about 180% of its annual economic output (GDP).
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has been at odds with the Eurogroup of eurozone finance ministers for months over the issue of debt relief for Greece.
The IMF considers debt relief essential, but Germany in particular was opposed.
Now that a deal has been reached, the IMF will consider contributing to the bailout.
The 19 ministers said the deal had been made possible by Greece's economic reforms and called it a "breakthrough".
Wednesday's deal does not reduce the amount Greece will have to repay. Instead, debt relief will be phased in from 2018, after Germany's general election late next year. As such, the deal is being seen by many as a compromise intended to buy time.
Will the deal change anything?
Greece's debt jargon explained
How bad are things for the people of Greece?
How has austerity worked out for eurozone countries?
"We achieved a major breakthrough on Greece which enables us to enter a new phase in the Greek financial assistance programme," Eurogroup President Jeroen Dijsselbloem told reporters early on Wednesday.
He said the package of debt measures would be "phased in progressively".
This review was the first under Greece's third eurozone bailout, secured in August last year, after which Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras called a snap election.
The move came two days after the Greek parliament approved another round of spending cuts and tax increases demanded by its international creditors.
The bill also created a state privatisation fund requested by eurozone finance ministers.
Opponents of the measures demonstrated outside parliament on Sunday.
The Greek government, led by the leftist Syriza coalition, agreed to a third bailout worth €86bn (£67bn; $96bn) last year.
The Washington-based IMF will still have to give final approval at board level to the fund's continued participation in the Greek bailout.
The organisation says Greek public debt is unsustainable at current levels of about 180% of Greece's gross domestic product (GDP).
IMF European Director Poul M Thomsen said: "We welcome that it is recognised that Greece needs debt relief to make that debt sustainable and it can't do it on its own."
It said that companies in the sector account for 30% of our total exports and employ about 40,000 people.
The report also said that 70% of sales come from outside the EU.
That makes the sector "a largely Brexit-proof opportunity to expand our economy".
On a council-by-council basis, Belfast and Londonderry are centres of excellence while Newry and Larne registered strongly.
Steve Orr, a director at Catalyst Inc, said: "Our priority recommendations are to focus on becoming world-class in research and development in specialist clusters of healthcare, cyber security and data analytics as well as advanced engineering."
Richard Johnston, from Ulster University's Economic Policy Centre, said: "The challenge for Northern Ireland going forward is to translate these record levels of activity into more jobs, better wages and higher profits."
The knowledge economy is made up businesses that rely on technology and research and development.
It includes pharmaceuticals, aerospace, software and medical device producers.
The number of alleged offences reported to police in England and Wales rose from 5,215 in 2013 to 9,290 in 2016.
Barnardo's chief executive Javed Khan said such abuse "may become the next scandal in our society".
The National Police Chiefs' Council said the increase was down to "more awareness and greater victim confidence".
The figures, obtained by Barnardo's under the Freedom of Information Act, showed there were 32,452 reports to police of alleged sexual offences by children on other children over the four-year period - an average of more than 22 every day.
Seven of the 43 forces in England and Wales either did not respond or provided a partial response.
The number of reported cases more than doubled in 12 areas, including by 521% in Warwickshire and 371% in Norfolk.
The Metropolitan Police (5,470), West Yorkshire (3,192) and Greater Manchester (3,024) had the highest number of reported cases in the country. These forces also have the highest populations.
Mr Khan said the figures represented "another wake-up call".
He said such abuse could happen because perpetrators had been "abused themselves and may not have received the right support".
National Police Chiefs' Council Lead for Child Protection, Simon Bailey, who is also the chief constable of Norfolk Police, said it was important to "build resilience in young people and educate them about sexual relationships".
He said officers in Norfolk were working with schools to raise awareness of abuse.
Conservative MP for Wealden, Nusrat Ghani, who chaired a cross-party inquiry on Harmful Sexual Behaviour last year, said: "In this smartphone age, parents must also play a vigilant role in protecting their children from harmful sexual behaviour and images."
The crash, at Quintinshill near Gretna, involved a military train filled with troops - most of them from Leith - two passenger trains and two goods trains.
It claimed an estimated 228 lives and left hundreds more injured.
There are no official army accounts of the alleged shootings on 22 May 1915.
However, many reports written in the press at the time of the accident suggested that some trapped soldiers, threatened with the prospect of being burnt alive in the raging inferno, took their own lives or were shot by their officers.
These reports were long denied for lack of official reports.
Now 100 years later, Colonel Robert Watson, one of the most senior veterans of the Royal Scots, has told the makers of a BBC documentary - Quintinshill: Britain's Deadliest Rail Disaster - it "probably" did happen.
He said that despite the lack of formal documentation he believed that in a very few cases, perhaps only one or two, they might well have taken place.
Colonel Watson said: "All those that could be rescued were rescued. Many of them had amputations carried out underneath burning carriages so that they could be rescued.
"But many, of course, were trapped in such a position that they couldn't be got out or else the fire had taken hold and they couldn't be got to.
"And of course since then we've heard stories of some soldiers being shot and some soldiers possibly taking their own lives. It's never been formally documented."
Referring to the reported shootings, he added: "My own personal belief is that it probably did happen, in a sense of compassion, of mercy killing.
"It's almost impossible, sitting here, to comprehend what it was like that morning."
This section of the interview will not feature in the documentary which focuses on the events which led up to the horrific collision and the court case and inquiries which followed.
Presenter Neil Oliver examines the investigation and trial of two signalmen, held entirely responsible for the tragedy, that took place afterwards.
The documentary, produced by Finestripe for BBC Scotland, explores the series of mistakes that may have caused the collision and the part played by the train companies and the government and determines whether the investigation would have come to the same conclusions if it were carried out today.
Dramatised reconstructions add to the account of a tragedy which had a profound effect on several communities in Scotland and remains the deadliest in the annals of Britain's railways.
Quintinshill: Britain's Deadliest Rail Disaster is on BBC Two Scotland at 21:00 on Wednesday, 20 May. It will also be shown the following night, Thursday, 21 May, at 21:00 on BBC Four.
Mr Smith - who is challenging leader Jeremy Corbyn - said the "equality-busting" move would raise £3bn a year.
He also vowed to reinstate the 50p tax rate, strengthen workers' rights and end the public sector pay freeze, as he promised a workplace "revolution".
But he apologised after saying Labour should be "smashing" Theresa May.
Mr Smith, former work and pensions spokesman, is seeking to replace Mr Corbyn in a contest which ends on 24 September.
Mr Corbyn's campaign said he had led the way in promoting equality, pledging to tackle job insecurity and workplace discrimination which he has described as among the UK's "national ills".
Mr Smith has insisted he is "just as radical" as his rival, who was overwhelmingly elected last year on a platform of taking the party to the left, but claims he is more capable of uniting the party and preparing it to form a future government.
In a speech at the site of the former Orgreave coking plant in South Yorkshire, Mr Smith said greater equality needed to be at the heart of Labour's "mission for Britain", as he made a direct pitch to Mr Corbyn's supporters.
He committed to focusing policies on achieving "equality of outcome" rather than "equality of opportunity", saying he wanted the UK to have "world-beating" employment rights. He pledged to provide an extra 4% a year funding to the NHS.
Setting out plans for a wealth tax, he said it would be a charge of 15% on unearned income, for example from investment, that would only apply to people earning over £150,000.
"It's time we asked the very wealthiest in our society to start paying more," Mr Smith added.
He also proposed:
The MP - who has said Labour's constitution should be rewritten to explicitly state its commitment to reducing inequality - said: "We need to rediscover a sense of national mission for Britain.
"A faith that our country can't just have a brilliant past but a future as bright as its past... where the fruits of our collective success are shared once more, more equally.
To achieve that, he argued, "we need revolution not evolution", and added: "Not some misty-eyed romantic notion of a revolution to overthrow capitalism and return to a socialist nirvana.
"But a cold-eyed, practical, socialist revolution, where we build a better Britain and look the country in the eye and say 'this is possible'."
What are wages councils?
Mr Smith said there had been a "wasted decade" for public services and called the decision - by the Conservative-Lib Dem coalition - to scrap the last Labour government's Building Schools for the Future programme in England a "tragedy".
As a Labour prime minister he would ensure that schools in England once again had local democratic accountability.
In an attack on Mrs May - and Mr Corbyn's response to her at Prime Minister's Questions - Mr Smith said she had the "temerity" to lecture the opposition on social justice and insecurity at work.
"It pained me that we didn't have the strength and the power and the vitality to smash her back on her heels," he said.
"These are our values, these are our people, this is our language that they are seeking to steal But they will steal it, they will flood into the gap we leave, and if we split in this party - which is where I fear we are heading, and why I am standing here before you - they will continue to flood into that space.".
By Chris Mason, BBC political correspondent
This was a pitch from Owen Smith groaning with new policy ideas, delivered in a spot groaning with symbolism - on an industrial estate near Orgreave, just outside Sheffield, the site of the battles between the police and miners in 1984.
It is now home to giants of modern industry such as Rolls Royce and Boeing - and so both a nod to Labour's past and its hopes for the future.
Mr Smith set out what he repeatedly described as a "radical" policy agenda. An agenda necessary, he believed, because of his bleak diagnosis of contemporary Britain: a country he saw as "frustrated, divided, increasingly intolerant and angry".
It was, in short, a suite of left wing policies aimed directly at those Labour members and supporters who were wooed by Jeremy Corbyn a year ago, but who Mr Smith now hopes to convert to his cause.
The big question for him is whether there are enough of them. Read more from Chris
Asked later about his choice of language, Mr Smith defended it as rhetoric. "I don't literally want to smash Theresa May. I'm not advocating violence in any way shape or form," he said, adding that Labour should be "smashing" the Conservatives in Parliament.
But pressed on his remarks by 5 News he said: "Perhaps it backfired, but we should have a bit of robust language in politics, I think."
And Mr Smith's office later issued a statement saying the remark "was off script and on reflection it was an inappropriate choice of phrase and he apologises for using it".
A spokesman for Mr Corbyn's campaign said: "We need to be careful of the language we use during this contest as many members, including many female Labour MPs, have said they feel intimidated by aggressive language.
"Jeremy has consistently called for a kinder, gentler politics. We should all reflect that in our political rhetoric."
On the contents of Mr Smith's speech, a spokesman for Mr Corbyn's re-election campaign said the focus on equality of outcomes, reindustrialisation and workers' rights echoed policies and speeches set out by the Labour leader, and shadow chancellor John McDonnell.
"Owen's speech today shows the leadership that Jeremy Corbyn has demonstrated in placing economic justice and fairness back at the heart of Labour politics," they said.
"Under Jeremy, Labour has put restoring dignity and pride in our communities worst hit by decades of neglect at the core of our politics."
Matt Wrack, from the Fire Brigade Union, said Mr Smith's policy announcements showed how far Mr Corbyn and Mr McDonnell "have shifted the policy debate" within Labour and politics more generally, "as many of these things wouldn't have been on the radar a year ago".
He said they had both "stood firmly with us on that - Owen Smith is now changing his position", adding that "credibility comes from consistency, and Jeremy Corbyn has been consistent".
The choice of location for Mr Smith's first major policy speech of the campaign will be seen as symbolic in his battle with Mr Corbyn to win the support of party members, trade unions activists and 180,000 or so registered supporters who have applied to vote in the contest.
The coking plant closed in 1991 and the site was redeveloped into a business park.

As the summer draws to a close spiders often head indoors to escape the chilly weather.
Experts say that this year, they might be even bigger than usual, because the recent mild weather has meant there are more insects for them to eat.
But not everyone's a massive spider fan, and when there's a hairy arachnid poised above your bed when you're about to turn out the light, sometimes you've just got to send them packing!
So if you've ever wondered what's the best way to get rid of the critters - without hurting them - spider expert Simon Garrett, from Bristol Zoo, has the top technique.
While two men have been arrested in connection with her murder, many of Chicago's killings go unsolved.
The city has been beset by high numbers of shootings and homicides by gun violence, over many years.
Here is a look into what the numbers say about Chicago's violence.
While Chicago is on track to see as many as 600 murders this year, it does not have the highest murder rate per capita in the US.
But shootings have often been concentrated in gang-heavy neighbourhoods, making the risk of being caught in the crossfire a very real one for people who live there.
A large majority of homicides in Chicago are from gunfire, and occur within a half-mile of the victim's home, according to data collected by local online news source DNAInfo.
Mark Green said his nomination had become a distraction due to "false and misleading attacks" against him.
The president's second pick for the post has outraged Democrats and some Republicans after his comments about the LGBT community were revealed.
The Tennessee state senator said last year "transgender is a disease".
"If you poll the psychiatrists, they're going to tell you that transgender is a disease," he told a Tea Party group last September in Chattanooga.
Three years earlier, Mr Green criticised former President Barack Obama for supporting what he described as "transvestites in uniform".
"Tragically, my life of public service and my Christian beliefs have been mischaracterised and attacked by a few on the other side of the aisle for political gain," the senator said in a statement.
Trump's cabinet: The people around the president
How much has the president achieved so far?
"While these false attacks have no bearing on the needs of the Army or my qualifications to serve, I believe it is critical to give the president the ability to move forward with his vision to restore our military to its rightful place in the world."
Mr Green, who served as an Army flight surgeon, drew criticism from gay-rights advocacy groups including the American Military Partner Association.
He sponsored legislation that would allow mental health practitioners to refuse to treat LGBT patients and supported a bill that would have forced transgender students to use toilets that matched the sex listed on their birth certificate.
He also faced criticisms from the Muslim Advocates and the Council on American-Islamic Relations for comments he made that both groups considered discriminatory against those who follow the Islamic faith.
US Senator Tammy Duckworth, a combat veteran and Illinois Democrat, tweeted after the announcement that while she respects his service, "he is not fit to lead the Army & made the right decision" to withdraw.
Republican Senator John McCain, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said he found some of Mr Green's comments "very concerning".
But 11 Republican lawmakers signed a letter supporting Mr Green's "long record of distinguished accomplishments in the defence of the nation".
Mr Trump's previous nominee for the position, billionaire Vincent Viola, withdrew his nomination in February, saying he could not divest himself from his business interests.
Mr Green, who was re-elected for a second term in November, had earlier announced a Republican run for governor of Tennessee.
He dropped his bid once he was nominated for Army Secretary on 7 April.
Montgomery and Holly teamed up at Hutchinson Junior High School in Lubbock, Texas in 1949, performing at school concerts and radio contests.
But it was Holly who was spotted as a potential star, leaving Montgomery to concentrate on songwriting.
Among the hits he wrote for his friend were Heartbeat and Wishing.
Heartbeat was a bigger hit in the UK than in the US, where it only reached number 82 on its initial release. It has been covered by a number of artists including Cilla Black, Hank Marvin and Nick Berry.
He also wrote the country music standard Misty Blue, which was originally performed by Wilma Burgess and later by Eddy Arnold, who made it a crossover hit.
In the late 1960s, Montgomery set up the House of Gold Music publishing company in Nashville, which helped the careers of Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers and The Judds.
His publicist, Greg Matusky, said he died on 4 December in Lee's Summit, Missouri, after suffering from Parkinson's Disease.
A sell-out crowd in excess of 11,000 will witness the 58th A420 derby at the Kassam Stadium on Saturday.
It is the first league meeting between the two since March 2012, when the U's ran out winners.
"We need to make sure we keep 11 players on the pitch," former U's midfielder Allen told BBC Radio Oxford.
"We have to remain disciplined and do what we normally do. We need to be pumped up but be calm.
"It's the team that deals with the emotions in the right way and stays under control that usually ends up doing quite well on the day."
Michael Appleton's side are unbeaten at home in League One this season, while Town are yet to win away.
Oxford have won each of the last five meetings between the teams but Swindon have won more head-to-head matches.
Even coach Trevor Bayliss said the 3-1 series win against South Africa does not "paper over the cracks" in the batting line-up.
It is those cracks, aged and deep, that are most likely to be exploited on an Ashes tour of Australia, where even the most solid of cricketing structures can be torn to the ground - just ask the England class of 2013-14.
However, the batting order is not the only problem facing Bayliss and captain Joe Root before England play West Indies in three Tests on home soil, their last assignment before the trip to Australia.
The saga of England's opening batsmen is as self-fulfilling as the Strictly Come Dancing curse.
Invariably, Alastair Cook gets a new partner and, six months later, he's gone.
But the struggles of Keaton Jennings - Cook's 11th partner in five years - detract attention from the issues in the middle order.
Since Bayliss took charge in the summer of 2015, England have chosen 18 players to bat in their top five, more than any other Test nation.
Cook and Root, the two constants in that period, average a combined 47.27. Between them, the rest have managed an average of 24.83.
Test cricket provides a forensic examination of a batsman's technique. Adam Lyth, James Vince, Ben Duckett, Gary Ballance and Alex Hales have had their flaws exposed.
It can also be argued that leading candidates in county cricket now have to do less to stand out from the crowd. All of Jennings, Tom Westley and Dawid Malan - current incumbents of Test spots - have first-class averages under 38.
Why is the domestic game failing to produce enough batsmen capable of succeeding at Test level?
"We have had so many players that have come in and failed because of poor technique," said former England batsman Geoffrey Boycott.
"We have a batting coach with England and at every county. We should be asking what they are getting paid for."
An extension of questioning why England cannot fill the vacancies in their batting line-up is to examine the selection policy in the Bayliss era.
Consider this. In Bayliss' 30 Tests in charge, 12 players have been given England Test debuts. None of those 12 has established himself at Test level, although it is too early to judge Westley, Malan and seamer Toby Roland-Jones.
In the worst examples of team selection, left-arm spinner Liam Dawson was given two Tests against South Africa - picked in part because of his good character - while white-ball specialist and back-up wicketkeeper Jos Buttler was seemingly recalled as a specialist batsman on last winter's tour of India just because there were no other options.
In comparison, in the 31 Tests before Bayliss arrived - a neat period because it goes back to when Cook took over as captain - England handed out 14 new caps, unearthing Joe Root, Ben Stokes, Moeen Ali, Mark Wood and Chris Woakes (admittedly, the latter has established himself under Bayliss).
There are mitigating circumstances. The selectors could not legislate for the cruel retirement of James Taylor in 2016 or the horrible domestic form of Haseeb Hameed this summer.
In addition, Bayliss, part of the four-man selection panel, gets to see next to no domestic cricket because of his international commitments and his home still being in his native Australia.
But the very notion of a selection panel - Bayliss, James Whitaker, Mick Newell and Angus Fraser - could be seen as outdated. The England football team dispensed with such a model in the days of Sir Alf Ramsey.
Could more responsibility be handed to Bayliss and Root, who would perhaps rely on the likes of Andy Flower, Graham Thorpe and Mark Ramprakash, all of whom are on the England payroll, to act as scouts?
Could Bayliss be freed up to watch more domestic cricket, rather than having to frequently admit that he has not seen a candidate for his squad play live?
"I don't understand the idea of an old-school selection panel," said former England captain Michael Vaughan. "The captain and coach are the people accountable for performance out in the middle, so they should pick the team.
"I wasn't a selector, but I had a huge input and I always got what I wanted. If I was interested in a player I would ring up a coach of a county, umpires, players and watch a little bit myself.
"There are so many people employed by England that they should have enough scouts. They can also watch every single ball of county cricket on a tablet - every batsman against every bowler."
For the first time in his reign, Bayliss was under pressure following England's 340-run defeat by South Africa in the second Test at Trent Bridge.
Not only had the Australian admitted he was unable to have too strong a say on selection, but also that he did not get too involved in the hands-on coaching of the players. That begs the question: what does he do?
Ultimately, Bayliss will be judged on results.
In white-ball cricket, England are unrecognisable from the rabble dumped out of the 2015 World Cup.
However, in Tests, it cannot be said with certainty that England are better than they were two years ago.
Indeed, it took victory in the final match against South Africa to even out Bayliss' win-loss record to 13 apiece.

For all England's progress in the limited-overs game, nothing piques the excitement, interest and passion of their fans like an Ashes series.
Therefore, for Bayliss, leading England in his homeland makes this winter more important for him than almost everyone else connected with the team.
Nothing prompts a period of English introspection quicker than a defeat in Australia.
"It strikes me that he was brought in specifically for white-ball cricket," said Boycott. "He hasn't played Test cricket and that comes across in some of the things he says.
"I'm not sure how much he has to offer in Test cricket. Maybe he gives them confidence to be positive, but sometimes you need more common sense than positivity.
"I don't think England have improved under Bayliss."
Cook, now relieved of the captaincy, remains a reassuring model of consistency and reliability at the top of the England order.
There is, however, something missing: hundreds.
Since the summer of 2013, Cook averages 40 and has passed 50 on 31 occasions. Only five times has he converted those into a hundred.
With 30 centuries, Cook is England's most prolific centurion in history. It's just that the tons are becoming less frequent.
England's only triumph in Australia in the past 25 years - in 2010-11 - was based on Cook's 'daddy' hundreds - scores of 235 not out, 148 and 189.
Can England defend the Ashes without 32-year-old Cook, or another batsman, going big?
"Cook is still a very good player, but is no longer in that halcyon period," said former England off-spinner Graeme Swann. "There isn't a problem with his batting; his stats are just starting to wane, which is natural when you grow old.
"The bigger picture is what goes on around him. England can't always look to Cook, because he's been doing it for more than a decade now.
"The likes of Joe Root and Ben Stokes are coming to the party, but not all of the top order are grabbing their chances."
England are in danger of becoming a one-dimensional team, of only being able to win when they bat first.
Under Bayliss, England have lost nine and won only three of their matches when batting second, a win-loss ratio that has them sixth best of the 10 teams to have played Test cricket in that period.
It is a problem that is once again rooted in runs. When England bat first, they average 38 runs per wicket, the third best in the world. Batting second, that drops to 25, seventh on the list.
It is an issue that needs addressing quickly. When England won in Australia in 2010-11, their three Test victories came when batting second.
"If you have only two or three of your top six contributing, you won't win many games batting second because pitches get harder to bat on," said Swann.
"In Australia, all of your top six have to have great tours. Most of ours scored truckloads when we won there in 2010-11.
"England aren't far off being a very good team, but you can't rely on two or three players to score all your runs every week."
We are told time and again that, to win in Australia, a visiting team must possess express pace.
The Kookaburra ball on hard pitches offers less assistance to fast bowlers than a Dukes ball on moist English surfaces, so velocity and intimidation become invaluable weapons. Remember Mitchell Johnson?
Pure speed is not the only way to succeed down under, mind.
Australia's Glenn McGrath pummelled batsmen into submission with his relentless accuracy, James Anderson got the ball to reverse swing in 2010-11, and Chris Tremlett found awkward, steepling bounce in the same series.
Still, it's hard to imagine England winning in Australia without Wood, their paciest option, playing at least some part. England, though, have to keep him fit.
The Durham bowler made his return in the first Test after 18 months out, but lasted only two matches before succumbing to a heel problem.
Even if he is good to go in Australia, England would have to be sure he is a better option than Woakes and Roland-Jones.
Again, they could look to the template of 2010-11. Then, the pacy Steven Finn was used in the first three Tests before being replaced by swing and seam bowler Tim Bresnan for the last two. Wood and Woakes could be the Finn and Bresnan of 2017-18.
"It's one thing asking for pace, but is it accurate and effective?" asked Graeme Smith, who led South Africa to two series wins in Australia.
"It's not often you get movement, so yes you need pace, but also good bounce and consistency.
"England must ask what is the best option to take 20 wickets. They need an attack that is well-rounded."
The Prime Minister will announce £100m has been set aside for the project over the next three to five years.
The aim is to give doctors a better understanding of patients' genetic make-up, condition and treatment needs, and help develop new cancer treatments.
One human genome contains three billion base pairs - the building blocks of DNA.
Sequencing the code produces a huge amount of data. Although the price is falling fast, it currently costs £5,000 to £10,000 - which explains why no country in the world has embarked on mass DNA mapping on this scale.
When it will start - who will do the genome sequencing and analysis - has not been worked out - nor which patients will be eligible for the voluntary testing.
But the hope is by comparing genetic profiles of huge numbers of patients, it will allow scientists to understand why some do far better than others - and help in the quest for new treatments.
Privacy campaigners are concern such a move could allow personal data to be passed on to private companies, such as insurance companies.
But ministers insist the project is for medical research alone.
For existing patients, DNA mapping may lead to better targeting of medicines.
The power of this type of genetic analysis was demonstrated earlier this year when a study of 2,000 breast cancers showed the cancer should be thought of as 10 completely separate diseases.
There are already a handful of targeted treatments - for breast, lung, bowel and blood cancers - where tests for a single gene can reveal whether a patient is likely to respond.
For example, breast cancer patients are tested to see if their tumour is positive for 'Her2', a protein that can accelerate the growth of malignant cells. If so they can benefit from Herceptin, a drug which works on patients with high levels of the Her2 protein.
Whole genome mapping may yield more of these personalised therapies.
Speaking ahead of the announcement David Cameron said: "By unlocking the power of DNA data, the NHS will lead the global race for better tests, better drugs and above all better care."
The chief medical officer for England, Prof Dame Sally Davies, said: "Single gene testing is already available across the NHS ranging from diagnosing cancers to assessing patients' risk of suffering side effects from treatment.
"At the moment, these tests focus on diseases caused by changes in a single gene. This funding opens up the possibility of being able to look at the three billion DNA pieces in each of us so we can get a greater understanding of the complex relationship between our genes and lifestyle."
There are a number of existing projects seeking to improve understanding of the genetics of cancer, such as Cancer Research UK's 'stratified medicine' programme.
The UK is part of the International Cancer Genome Consortium which is planning to sequence 50 different cancers and catalogue their different mutations.
There are more than 200 types of cancer - it is a complex and highly resistant disease - the talk among specialists is less of cures and more of improved long-term outcomes.
So most of the benefits from these ambitious projects are likely to be among the next generation of cancer patients.
Andrew Carr took £14,000 from Swindon's Orchid Vale Primary School parent teacher association and the 7th Swindon Scouts, Bournemouth Crown Court heard.
He was a superintendent with Wiltshire Police at the time of his crimes.
Carr, who admitted fraud and theft and has since been sacked, was given a 12-month sentence, suspended for a year.
He failed to deposit money from various fundraising events, forged signatures on the groups' bank accounts and falsified independent reports into their finances.
The court was told 47-year-old Carr had debts of £21,000 and could not afford the repayments.
Passing sentence, Judge Brian Forster QC told Carr: "What stands out in this case is that everyone has been left bewildered by what you did.
"On the face of it you were an energetic person, you were very interested in police matters, you were involved in the community and you were a family man.... anyone looking at this case must immediately ask the question 'why?"'
Carr, from Swindon, pleaded guilty at a hearing last month to all 11 charges he faced, and has since paid all the money back.
A recording of the alleged call, in which he reportedly advises his party members on tactics, was obtained by Africa Confidential magazine.
He is serving a 50-year sentence for supporting rebels who committed atrocities in Sierra Leone.
The Ministry of Justice said it does not comment on individual cases.
Alain Werner, director of Civitas Maxima, an NGO which builds legal cases against alleged Liberian war criminals, said the allegation was "extremely worrying".
The call, which has been heard by the BBC, is thought to have been made from a landline inside HMP Frankland, near Durham, on 28 January, Taylor's 69th birthday.
In the phone call:
Africa Confidential also reported that Taylor had been threatening politicians he opposes in other phone calls.
The Residual Special Court for Sierra Leone, the United Nations body which held Taylor's trial, said it was urgently following up with the British government.
Mr Werner, of NGO Civitas Maxima, said: "That he may interfere from his cell in a British jail on the political life in Liberia is extremely worrying, especially considering that there will be presidential elections later this year."
In Liberia's election in October, Taylor's National Patriotic Party (NPP) is in a coalition with the Congress for Democratic Change, which is seeking to elect former football star George Weah, with Taylor's ex-wife Jewel standing as vice-president.
Taylor was convicted in 2012 of 11 counts of war crimes, slavery, rape, recruiting child soldiers and aiding and abetting the Revolutionary United Front (RUF) rebels in Sierra Leone during the 1991-2002 civil war, in which some 50,000 people died.
The former Liberian leader was found to have supplied weapons to the RUF in exchange for so-called blood diamonds.
The rebels were notorious for hacking off the limbs of civilians to terrorise the population.
The UN, which convened a Special Court on Sierra Leone, issued an appeal for a country to host him after his conviction and the UK volunteered.
An act of parliament was passed to allow for Taylor to serve his sentence in the UK, at the cost of the British government.
His trial was held in the Netherlands in case it sparked renewed unrest in West Africa.
Prison guidelines state prisoners should not communicate any material which would create a threat or risk of violence or physical harm to any person, or endanger public safety.
The 68-year-old has managed a host of English clubs, including Tottenham, West Ham and more recently Queen's Park Rangers.
Redknapp was eagerly following Cove's 4-1 home win that set up a fourth-round tie with Premiership side Motherwell.
"They're my Scottish team without a doubt," said Redknapp.
Speaking to BBC Radio Scotland's Sportsound, he explained: "The big result for me yesterday, I was following the Cup game up there.
"The chairman [Keith Moorhouse] invited me up to their Christmas lunch. It was a great day. [Former Scotland coach] Craig Brown was there, the chairman of Aberdeen [Stewart Milne] was there. We had a real good time.
"The chairman at Cove Rangers is a great guy a real character. So I was watching that result all day yesterday, I was looking at my phone all day because they were such good company, I really enjoyed it."
Cove Rangers faced league rivals Formartine in a replay after a 1-1 draw last week.
Jamie Watt and Daniel Park scored before the interval, with Neil Gauld pulling one back early in the second half.
However, Blair Yule and Harry Milne added to the hosts' tally to ensure a lucrative trip to Fir Park.
"I was hoping they would get through and get Motherwell, which they've got now," added Redknapp. "It'll be a big game for them."
The name of their second child - sister to Prince George - could be announced later and members of the Royal Family and the duchess's parents may visit.
The princess, who is fourth in line to the throne, was delivered at 08:34 BST on Saturday at St Mary's Hospital in London, and weighed 8lbs 3oz (3.7kg).
Tower Bridge was among several London landmarks lit up in pink in her honour.
For full coverage see our royal baby special report here.
Trafalgar Square's fountains and the London Eye were also illuminated on Saturday night to mark the birth.
The Cambridges will spend the next few days at Kensington Palace; afterwards they are expected to travel to their country home Anmer Hall on the Queen's Sandringham estate in Norfolk.
Bookmakers have said Charlotte and Alice have emerged as the favourite names for the princess, followed by Olivia, Victoria and Elizabeth.
A spokeswoman for Ladbrokes said: "We've never known a day of royal speculation like it. Charlotte is the new favourite, but Olivia is the name on the nation's lips."
Meanwhile, almost all of the UK's national newspapers have given over the entire front pages of their Sunday editions to the birth and a photograph of the new princess.
Charlotte, the feminine form of Charles, has a long royal pedigree and became popular in the 18th century when it was the name of George III's queen.
The King bought Buckingham House in 1761 for his wife Queen Charlotte to use as a family home close to St James's Palace - it became known as the Queen's House and is now Buckingham Palace.
Charles is the name of two former Kings and of the Prince of Wales, the princess's grandfather.
Charlotte also has a connection on the duchess's side, as the middle name of her sister Pippa Middleton.
Alice, the previous bookmaker's favourite, was the name of the Duke of Edinburgh's mother, Princess Alice of Battenberg and of his great-grandmother, who was the third child of Queen Victoria.
During the First World War, his mother's family changed Battenberg, the family name, to Mountbatten - the name which Prince Philip adopted when he became a naturalised British subject in 1947.
Other royal Alices include the Queen's aunt by marriage, Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester and one of Queen Victoria's granddaughters, Princess Alice, Countess of Athlone.
Also in the running, according to the bookmakers, are the names Olivia, Victoria and Elizabeth.
While Olivia has no immediately apparent royal connections, it was the second most popular girls' name for babies born in England and Wales in 2013, according to the Office for National Statistics.
Victoria and Elizabeth are arguably the most famous female names in British royal history - with Queen Victoria the longest reigning monarch, and the present Queen Elizabeth II set to surpass her record on September 9, 2015.
The Queen Mother was also called Elizabeth, and it is the middle name of the duchess's mother, Carole Middleton.
Queen Victoria is associated with Britain's great age of industrial expansion, economic progress and, particularly, empire. While the 45-year reign of Queen Elizabeth I of England, the daughter of Henry VIII and the last Tudor monarch, is considered one of the most glorious in English history, including the defeat of the Spanish Armada and the first works of Shakespeare.
The duchess was admitted to the private Lindo Wing at St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, west London, at 06:00 BST on Saturday.
The birth was announced by Clarence House on Twitter at about 11:00 BST, but also with the traditional bulletin on a gilded easel outside Buckingham Palace - a practice that dates to 1837. The easel will remain outside the palace until early afternoon.
With their new daughter wrapped in a white shawl, the duke and duchess emerged from the hospital to crowds of well-wishers and the world's media, a little less than 10 hours after the birth.
They stood on the steps of the Lindo Wing briefly before heading back inside to put the sleeping princess in a car seat. Prince William, who had been present for the birth, then drove them to Kensington Palace.
The couple did not speak to the media as they had done at the time of Prince George's birth in July 2013.
But when Prince William left the hospital shortly before 16:00 BST, to fetch his son for a visit to his new sister, he told those outside he was "very happy".
In a statement issued after the birth, Kensington Palace said: "Their Royal Highnesses would like to thank all staff at the hospital for the care and treatment they have all received.
"They would also like to thank everyone for their warm wishes."
The duke's father the Prince of Wales, who had said he wanted his second grandchild to be a girl, and Duchess of Cornwall were left "absolutely delighted" by the news, Clarence House has said.
William's uncle Earl Spencer said: "It's wonderful news - we are all thrilled for all four of them."
Messages of congratulations also came from the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby and political leaders including Prime Minister David Cameron, who called it "wonderful news".
US president Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle wished the duke and duchess "much joy and happiness on the occasion of the arrival of the newest member of their family".
On Monday, the princess's birth will be marked by gun salutes in Hyde Park and the Tower of London.
Soldiers from The King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery will ride out in procession from Wellington Barracks, near Buckingham Palace to sound 41 shots in the park at 14:00 BST. A 62-gun Salute by the Honourable Artillery Company will take place at the Tower of London at the same time.
The princess's first public appearance, with her parents, leaving hospital, will be the exception not the rule.
Prince William and his wife will shield the fourth in line to the throne in the same way they have her brother, Prince George.
Her lack of exposure in her early years will not limit or diminish the global fascination this baby will attract. It's a fascination which began while she was still in the womb.
Soon we'll know her name. The absence of knowledge hasn't stopped the speculation. Elizabeth, Victoria, Alice and Charlotte have all attracted bets at the bookies.
And will Kate and William honour his mother and choose Diana for one of their daughter's names?

A council report recommended the authority should not bid for the start or end of the event, but councillors opted to go forward with the bid.
The move could cost Wakefield up to £590,000 and only bring in £115,000, the report claims.
But council leader Peter Box said the potential benefits were "incalculable".
Live updates on this story and others from around West Yorkshire
Wakefield city centre hosted the start of the third day of the 2015 cycle race, with around 20,000 spectators in the city centre and a further 2,000 in the spectator hub at Manygates Park.
Thousands more lined the rest of the route through the district.
In 2016, the race passed through the Wakefield district, including Knottingley and South Elmsall, with a cost of more than £100,000.
Some of the race was not televised because of live streaming coverage problems.
The report said there was "currently no provision within existing council budgets".
Funding for the 2015 event came from the Leeds City Region and is not expected to be available in 2017.
Mr Box said the council met developers during the 2015 event who were now making "a huge investment in the district".
"I think it's the right thing to do on balance," he said. "We know we've got budget problems but the potential benefits for the district overall are ones we should grasp."
Hosting a start event costs around £250,000, with around £115,000 brought in from visitors. Hosting a finish costs around £300,000, with £25,000 recouped from visitors.
At least £340,000 more would be required for highway and street scene works, but this would come from the existing budget, the council said.
Tremmel, 38, who joined the Swans from RB Salzburg in August 2010, made 52 senior appearances for the Welsh club, but saw action last season confined to the Football League Trophy.

The machines can accept stakes of up to £100 and offer prizes of £500.
Culture minister Hugh Robertson said there was little evidence they caused serious problems despite an MP calling them the "crack cocaine" of gambling.
The Campaign for Fairer Gambling said the casino-style machines were often used by people with problems.
In a Commons debate on Thursday, Mr Robertson rejected the idea of creating new laws to restrict fixed odds betting terminals (FOBTs) or the betting shops where they are located.
The minister said he would only change the law if there was new evidence.
A recent Commons Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee report recommended that local authorities should be able to allow bookmakers to operate more than the current limit of four high-stakes machines per shop.
The Campaign for Fairer Gambling said the machines should be banned from betting shops on the High Street with immediate effect.
The organisation, backed by psychologist Prof Jim Orford, said they were too addictive and should be restricted to casinos only.
Matthew Zarb-Cousin, a former addict who lost about £16,000 on gambling machines, works with the Campaign for Fairer Gambling. He told the BBC that the maximum £100 stake encouraged dangerous patterns.
He said a maximum stake of £2 should be introduced, effectively banning the high-stakes machines from prominent locations.
"What we've seen here is what looks like an addictive product, a harmful product to the consumer, that's been allowed to go onto the market without knowing how harmful that product is.
"All we have is this anecdotal evidence that these machines are harmful and it doesn't look like the government are taking this issue seriously, especially with the stigma that surrounds problem gambling," he said.
However, Mr Robertson said the government would be prepared to bring in new laws to clamp down on the spread of betting shops.
Ciaran O'Brien, from bookmakers Ladbrokes, denied FOBTs were a major problem and said the industry takes action to fund "research, education and treatment" for addicts.
He said the average spend on a gambling machine was just under £7, while the average stake on a betting slip is £8.40.
"The vast majority of people enjoy their... experience and do it very responsibly. Where there is problem gambling its important the industry acts responsibly and we have a very good track record at doing so," Mr O'Brien added.
Meanwhile, Dirk Vennix, chief executive at the Association of British Bookmakers (ABB), said the "vast majority" of the gambling industry's eight million customers spend "safely and responsibly".
He told BBC Radio Five Live: "They are adults who think about what they spend and how much they can lose - they are not stupid."
Mr Vennix denied that betting shops were becoming more prolific on Britain's high streets, saying bookmakers constituted just 4% of retail space in town centres.
Labour MP Kelvin Hopkins wants the government to take a tougher stance.
He said: "The most addictive form of gambling is on fixed-terminal... machines. They are indeed described as the crack cocaine of problem gambling. Is the government seriously concerned about gambling addiction and when are they going to address the problem?"
Culture minister Mr Robertson said the Responsible Gambling Trust was carrying out an investigation into the use of fruit machines and problem gambling.
But he said any new laws would be based on research not anecdotal evidence.
"This is one of those quite tricky areas where common sense suggests there is a major problem but there is a lack of evidence to back this up," he said.
"I very much hope that the major research project that is being undertaken will give us the necessary evidence that we need and absolutely, once that is proved, the government will act."

"The Jewish community has been an active part of Tangier's life throughout history, enriching its economy, social and cultural life, and peacefully coexisting with their Muslim brothers. Today their number is diminished, but they remain faithful to who they are: Jews and Moroccan. Their history is an example of coexistence and tolerance - a history that deserves to be remembered."

"Asmat is one from hundreds of tribes in West Papua struggling to find a place in their own land as outside influences infiltrate their society. Asmat is not a blank canvas where influences and changes can be arbitrarily imposed. The Asmats have their own way to respond to the changes in their land, but how effective this will be is unknown. It remains difficult to predict their future."

In March, the Department for Culture, Media and Sport announced its ambition to succeed Dubai, which will host the five-yearly trade convention in 2020.
But Chancellor Philip Hammond now says concerns over rising costs mean the UK will no longer be bidding to be hosts.
Ashton Moss in Tameside was a possible location for the six-month showcase of technology, manufacturing and culture.
Representatives of 145 countries attended World Expo 2015 in Italy, which boasted 54 national pavilions at a sprawling site in Milan.
Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) said the event would have been worth billions of pounds to the local economy and created thousands of jobs.
Tameside Council leader Kieran Quinn said GMCA was "very disappointed" and has asked to meet Mr Hammond to discuss salvaging the bid.
Mr Quinn said the bid rejection came as "terrible news" and demonstrated a lack of government ambition.
He said: "They are stopping us entering a race, not only which we believe we could win, but we could also change the way the UK is viewed post-Brexit vote. This is the kind of opportunity the country needs.
"I do think if a city further south had come forward they would have looked at it differently."
The treasury said in a statement: "Ministers carefully considered Greater Manchester's proposals but do not believe hosting the World Expo offers good value for money for taxpayers.
"The government is working closely with local leaders to create a Northern Powerhouse and build an economy that works for everyone, and that is why we backed Greater Manchester with £1.2bn of additional funding through its devolution deal.
"We are also providing over half a billion pounds for local projects to help create jobs across the north, £13bn to improve transport, and we remain as committed as ever to working with those in the north, who know the north best, to unleash its full potential."
The "long campaign" runs from 19 December until Parliament's dissolution and introduces the first limits on individual spending in constituencies.
From 30 March, the "short" campaign period will be triggered, and even tighter restrictions will apply.
Election spending is regulated by the watchdog, the Electoral Commission.
They apply to anyone who wants to become a candidate at a UK parliamentary election, which is to be held on 7 May 2015.
Campaign spending in each constituency is strictly limited and candidates are required by the elections watchdog to keep a record of all expenses.
The pre-candidacy spending limit, during the long campaign, is £30,700, plus 9p per voter in county constituencies, and 6p per voter in borough seats.
During the short campaign, an official candidate may spend £8,700, plus 9p per voter in county constituencies and 6p per voter in borough seats.
The government increased the amounts in August, to take account of inflation since they were last changed in 2005.
This was against the recommendation of the elections watchdog the Electoral Commission, which suggested an increase only in the short campaign limits to factor in inflation and changes to the length of the election campaign.
Candidates must also declare all donations of more than £50 that they receive for election expenses.
The regulated period for total party expenditure in the run up to the 2015 election began on 23 May 2014, and requires them to keep records of what they are spending.
Prior to the 2001 general election there were no limits on what political parties could spend on national campaigns at a UK general election.
The limit is calculated depending on how many seats a party contests; those that field candidates in all 650 seats are allowed to spend up to £19.5m, equivalent to £30,000 for each of the UK's 650 constituencies.
Each party must ensure it abides by the spending limits in Great Britain. Separate limits apply in Northern Ireland.
UK political parties spent £31.1m at the 2010 general election. The Conservatives accounted for 53% of this total, the Labour Party spent 25% of it and the Liberal Democrats 15%.
This will be the first UK general election where tighter regulations on campaign spending by non-parties apply.
The new rules - introduced by the 2014 Transparency of Lobbying, Non-party Campaigning and Trade Union Administration Act - apply to charities or organisations that campaign in the run-up to elections, but which are not standing as political parties or candidates.
The act lowered the spending threshold at which groups have to register with the Electoral Commission.
Those who spend or plan to spend more than £20,000 in England, or £10,000 in any of Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland on regulated campaign activity must register and adhere to the rules on campaign spending, donations and reporting.
There is also a £9,750 limit on the amount registered or non-registered campaigners can spend within a constituency during election periods, and controls on who can make donations and loans to them for the campaigning purposes.
The RSPCA Campaigns Ltd, British Medical Association, GMB and Unite unions and the Woodland Trust are among the groups registered with the Electoral Commission.
The lobbying bill encountered fierce criticism during its passage through Parliament from those worried it could restrict campaigns by bodies that are not party political.
Natural Resources Wales said flooding is expected at sites in Kidwelly, Carmarthenshire, Crofty, in Swansea, and the Wye estuary at Tintern and Chepstow, in Monmouthshire.

Maguire was tripped in the box by Jack Baldwin, who was sent off for a second yellow card, and Maguire converted the penalty into the right corner with the match in the third minute of added time.
Posh were bidding for a fourth win in five league and cup games this season, and had put five goals past Millwall in midweek.
But they needed a 62nd-minute equaliser from Tom Nichols, who fired Paul Taylor's cutback into the roof of the net, to get back on level terms.
Wes Thomas had struck straight after the restart to put Oxford in front.
Thomas worked the ball on to his right foot and saw his shot deflect past keeper Ben Alnwick just 12 seconds into the second half, before many fans were back in their seats.
Posh had the better of a scrappy first half. Simon Eastwood superbly tipped over a close-range shot from Gwion Edwards.
In the second half Eastwood made one outstanding save, spreading himself to block Jermaine Anderson's effort. He also showed great agility to prevent a miscued clearance from Josh Ruffels crossing the line for an own goal.

Germany's flagship airline cancelled 900 flights on Wednesday and 912 flights for Thursday, hitting some 200,000 passengers.
It is the 14th strike since April called by the Vereinigung Cockpit pilots union.
Lufthansa urged VC to work towards a resolution rather than an escalation.
However, union spokesman Joerg Handwerg said: "Lufthansa management has shown no sign that it is willing to move and has not provided an offer that could serve as a basis for negotiations."
Pay talks between VC and the German carrier broke down earlier this month, and Lufthansa said the union had "consistently rejected the offer" of mediation.
The union is calling for a 3.7% pay rise for 5,400 pilots dating back to 2012. Lufthansa, which is facing increasing competition from budget rivals, offered a 2.5% increase over the six years until 2019.
"Cockpit's demand for a pay rise... goes far above what other groups of employees have received. It is incomprehensible why the union is seeking the highest salary increase for the best paid group of employees," said Bettina Volkens, Lufthansa's human resources chief.
The airline tried twice on Tuesday to seek a court injunction to prevent the walk-out, which was due to last two days.
Lufthansa, led by chief executive Carsten Spohr, insists that despite making a profit in 2015, it has no choice but to cut costs to compete with leaner rivals such as Ryanair on short-haul routes and Emirates on long-haul flights.
He has said that he expects the strike to cost between €7m and €9m a day.
Mr Handwerg said: "Let me make it very clear that going on strike gives us no pleasure. We are sorry for the passengers and we cannot understand why Lufthansa is unable to make a negotiable offer."
Pte Matthew Boyd from the Royal Gibraltar Regiment, was found injured and unconscious on Lion Street at about 01:00 BST on Sunday. He was taken to hospital, but later died.
A 23-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder on Sunday.
Dyfed-Powys Police said on Monday a 22-year-old man had also been detained in connection with the death.
Both men remain in custody.
Pte Boyd and his family lived in Gibraltar but he was originally from Northern Ireland, where some of his relatives still live in Carrickfergus, County Antrim.
The force said Pte Boyd was wearing civilian clothing when he was found and the 23-year-old who was arrested was not a serving soldier.
In a statement released on Sunday, a Ministry of Defence spokesman said: "It is with great sadness and regret that the MoD can confirm a soldier from the Royal Gibraltar Regiment died in Brecon in the early hours of this morning.
"Our thoughts are with his family and friends and the regiment asks that their privacy is respected at this difficult time."
Derrel Weaver, 62, from Widegates near Looe, Cornwall was branded a "dyed in the wool, predatory paedophile" by a judge.
Weaver filmed women using secret cameras and sexually abused children.
As he left the dock at Truro Crown Court, Weaver threatened to curse those in the courtroom.
Jurors took three hours to find Weaver guilty of 19 counts of sexual assault and gross indecency with a child, and two of attempted rape.
He had already pleaded guilty to eight voyeurism offences - and admitted filming women with hidden cameras disguised as light switches in a toilet.
Recorder Iain Hughes QC told Weaver: "I am absolutely sure you are and will remain a substantial danger to children physically and psychologically"
He said Weaver had an "ingrained, long-term and continuing sexual depravity towards young women and children".
Throughout the trial the Elvis impersonator wore aviator-style sunglasses, and he was animated throughout the sentencing.
As he was led away from the dock he shouted: "My Grandma is a real witch and I call upon her to curse everyone in this courtroom".
"Apart from my friend", he continued, pointing to a man in the public gallery.
He then appeared to cast a spell on the court as he was taken away, saying: "You think it's mumbo jumbo but you wait."
He was also found guilty of attempting to take an indecent photo of a child.
He was found not guilty of two charges of indecent assault and one of indecency with a child.
Weaver is already serving a five year sentence for firearms offences.
Stephen Pike, 58, is accused of stabbing Clint Simms, 39, to death in Ely, on 3 March.
Mr Pike, of Ely, appeared at Cardiff Magistrates' Court on Monday charged with murder and possession of a bladed article in a public place.
He spoke only to confirm his name and was remanded in custody to appear at Cardiff Crown Court on Tuesday.

Hamilton had to pass both Williams after losing the lead off the line and second place at a re-start following an early safety car.
But the Mercedes driver fought back to take the lead at the first pit stops.
Rain made for a chaotic end to the race but Hamilton came through to win from team-mate Nico Rosberg and Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel.
Felipe Massa took fourth ahead of Williams team-mate Valtteri Bottas, Red Bull's Daniil Kvyat was sixth, Force India's Nico Hulkenberg claimed seventh and the second Ferrari of Kimi Raikkonen came eighth.
The world champion's fifth win of the season - extending his championship lead to 17 points - was greeted with roars of delight from the capacity 140,000 fans.

Hamilton admitted the Mercedes' bad starts had "made the race for the fans" and, as thousands streamed on to the track to salute him on the podium, he said: "Thank you for coming out today and making my whole weekend, I really wanted to do it for you guys. I couldn't have done it without you. I'm so elated. You can't imagine how happy I am. I was tearing up on the last lap."
Hamilton's path to victory was far from smooth, however, as Massa leapt into the lead past both Mercedes from third on the grid.
Hamilton fended off a challenge from Bottas for second on the first lap, at the end of which the safety car was deployed because of a pile-up at the first corner, involving both Lotuses and both McLarens.
Three of the four cars were taken out of the race in one go, with Lotus team-mates Romain Grosjean and Pastor Maldonado appearing to collide and McLaren's Fernando Alonso half-spinning as he took avoiding action and collecting team-mate Jenson Button, whose car also retired.
Alonso was able to continue, but needed to pit for a new front wing, although the late rain shower helped the double champion beat Sauber's Marcus Ericsson to finish 10th and score his first points of a difficult year in the uncompetitive and unreliable McLaren-Honda.
At the restart, Hamilton tried an aggressive move on Massa immediately after the safety car line, which indicates the place from which drivers can begin to race and at Silverstone is on the entry to the final Vale-Club corner complex.
But Hamilton overcooked it, ran briefly off the track, and Bottas took advantage and sneaked through into second.
Bottas was initially told he could not try to pass Massa, only for Williams to relent and allow them to race.
But the Finn could not pass the Brazilian as the two silver Mercedes tracked the two white Williams to the first pit-stop period.
Hamilton was brought in first, on lap 19, and the so-called 'undercut' worked perfectly as he produced what Williams technical chief Pat Symonds called a "stunning" in-lap.

A quick pit stop and a strong first lap out of the pits meant that when Massa and Rosberg pitted on the next lap Hamilton passed them before they were back out the circuit.
Rosberg came oh-so-close to beating Massa out - the two cars were side by side as they went down the pits, but Massa had the inside line for the corner where the pit lane rejoins the track and held on to second.
Even worse for Rosberg, when Bottas stopped on the next lap, the Finn rejoined ahead of the Mercedes and although Rosberg overtook him into Turn Four, Bottas got straight back in front through the kink at Turn Five.
Rosberg stayed stuck in fourth place until lap 36 of 52 when light rain began to fall.
At first, it hit only the northern part of the track at Luffield, Woodcote and Copse corners but a wobble from Bottas at Copse gave Rosberg the chance he needed and he took third, and then a couple of laps later moved into second past Massa at Turn Three.
The rain, which stopped and then returned with greater intensity over the whole of the track, was bad news for Williams, both of whose cars were passed by Vettel as the teams juggled with tyre choices in the intermittent rain at the end of the race.
It was an unexpected surprise for Ferrari at the end of one of their least competitive races of the season.

Newport council officers were called to Gibbs Road in the Beechwood area of the city after a large sewer collapsed at 04:30 BST on Wednesday.
The road is closed and Welsh Water is investigating.
It said: "We're doing all we can so that the local highways authority can reopen the road as soon as possible."
The sewer is part of its network that takes waste water away from homes and local businesses.
"We are ensuring that this work is not impacting on the waste water service we provide but we apologise for the inconvenience and disruption caused by this essential repair work," a Welsh Water spokesman said.
It is understood he may have been tortured before he was killed.
The 32-year-old, originally from Lithuania, was found dead at the property on the Moor Road, near Clonoe, shortly after 13:00 BST on Thursday.
Mr Stauskas had a violent past, having been jailed for five and a half years for the 2011 manslaughter of a fellow Lithuanian, Audrius Aukstuolis.
The two men had arranged to meet for what was effectively a duel in a busy car park in Dungannon, County Tyrone, and both were armed.
Mr Stauskas had a knife, while Mr Aukstuolis had a screwdriver, although he had apparently asked a workmate for a hammer just before the fight.
Only one blow was struck, by Mr Stauskas with the knife. It pierced Mr Aukstuolis' heart and killed him.
Mr Aukstuolis was a bodybuilder who had been charged with a very serious sexual assault and kidnapping.
The dispute between the two men began after Mr Stauskas' girlfriend was appointed as Mr Aukstuolis' interpreter as he faced those charges.
The bodybuilder allegedly became infatuated with the interpreter and continued to pursue the woman despite being rebuffed.
The 2012 manslaughter trial was told that Mr Aukstuolis wanted her boyfriend out of the way and made threats to kill Mr Stauskas.
The two men began sending each other abusive and threatening text messages, which escalated into a challenge to a fight with knives.
The murder of Mr Stauskas was not the only violent incident involving an eastern European in the County Tyrone area last week.
On Wednesday, a man in his 30s was beaten and shot not far from the shed where Mr Stauskas' body was found. His injuries are not understood to be life-threatening.
Police have said they are still working to establish definitively that there is a link between these two attacks.
Set an improbable 478 to win, Essex resumed on 89-2 looking as if saving the game was the only realistic target.
Lawrence shared two century stands to help get the job done for the hosts.
He extended his overnight partnership with Tom Westley (61) to 135 before adding a further 102 with Ryan ten Doeschate (41) as Essex reached 316-6.
Lancashire were made to rue the two opportunities they squandered to remove Westley the previous day, on 10 and 11, when he was dropped twice.
Acting captain James Anderson was miserly, his first six overs going for just two runs. But, by the time spinner Stephen Parry knocked back Westley's off stump in mid-afternoon, he had used up 58 overs with Lawrence.
There then suddenly followed some hope for the visitors as it proved to be the first of three wickets in eight overs.
Ravi Bopara was caught behind with the new ball off Kyle Jarvis, who then tempted Adam Wheater to hole out to Haseeb Hameed in the covers in his next over.
But Lawrence, who now has five first-class hundreds to his name at 19, found another partner in captain ten Doeschate to thwart Lancashire's hopes of a first win in 12 County Championship matches.
Seamer Jarvis added a third wicket when he trapped ten Doeschate with half an hour's play still to go, but there was no further Red Rose breakthrough.
Lancashire now head to The Oval on Good Friday to face Surrey, when Essex will be at Taunton to face Somerset.
Essex batsman Dan Lawrence told BBC Essex:
"This is my favourite hundred because I've managed to bat all day and get the team out of a bit of a hole.
"It's important not to celebrate a draw. We had our backs against the wall and had a really tough first three days, and it took a lot of character from a lot of the boys today to fight through and get a draw.
"It's nice to know we're not going to fall down whenever someone puts a lot of pressure on us. We really want to thrive in Division One."
Lancashire head coach Glen Chapple told BBC Radio Lancashire:
"We feel that we dominated the game, played good cricket and had a good chance to win at the start of the day, in the knowledge, though, that the pitch was getting a bit easier.
"Getting them six down we can look at things we could have done a little bit better but on the whole we have to be fairly pleased with our efforts.
"I thought there was some good quality cricket and the team played as a unit how we want them to play."
Mr Trump appointed the billionaire investor on Wednesday as an adviser on regulatory reform.
When questioned by CNBC if his stake in an oil refinery firm would affect his stance on environmental regulations, Mr Icahn played down the potential clash.
He added that he would not be in the Cabinet and so "not making any policy".
Mr Icahn is a large investor in oil firm CVR Energy, along with other US businesses including PayPal and insurance firm AIG.
Asked if that would shape his advice, he said it was "almost a crazy issue", and gave the example of senior bank executives advising the Trump team on banking regulation.
Instead, he said, the "major issue" was that excessive regulation has hurt American businesses.
He added that environmental and banking regulations had become particular obstacles to investment.
The accident happened on the A6094 between Leadburn and Howgate at about 13:00 on Sunday.
Police said they were alerted by a member of the public. The emergency services, including fire crews from West Linton, Dalkeith and Penicuik, were sent to the scene.
Police Scotland confirmed one motorist had died and appealed for information on the crash.
A section of road between the Leadburn junction and Howgate was closed for a crash investigation and has since reopened.
Last year the authority identified 50 potential victims with that figure increasing to 58 this year.
Joyce Thacker, director for children and young people's services, said the rise was down to an improved public awareness of the problem.
In September The Times reported confidential police reports referred to widespread abuse of girls by Asian men.
Ms Thacker said: "We monitor this all the time and at the moment we've got 58 young women who are known to us in terms of social care in relation to child sexual exploitation.
"There are more young women on the fringes of that and we are assessing them in terms of the risk."
The revelation comes as a national report found that thousands of children are sexually abused by gangs and groups in England each year.
The Office of Children's Commissioner study said there were 2,409 victims in the 14 months to October 2011 - but the true number was likely to be far higher.
In November 2010 five Asian men from Rotherham were jailed after being found guilty of grooming young girls for sex.
Last month South Yorkshire Police's Chief Constable David Crompton was criticised before the Home Affairs Select Committee, following The Times report which said a confidential 2010 internal police report warned that thousands of such crimes were committed in the county each year.
Ms Thacker said the authority had "really stepped up its commitment" to tackling the problem and it was a "huge priority".
"We always had a dedicated team since about 1997 but in the last year particularly we've stepped it up particularly in terms of social care intervention."
Ms Thacker said more "preventative work" was being done including work with local mosques and education in schools.
South Yorkshire Police said it was working with partners to make "continued improvements to how we recognise and deal with child sexual exploitation in all its forms".
The force said: "With this in mind the force has increased the resources which target this problem with 79 officers working specifically on child abuse related investigations, and eight officers exclusively dedicated to child sexual exploitation."
The council and police said they would look at the recommendations made in the national report on how to deal with the problem.
The visitors took the lead through Charlie Adam's penalty after Granit Xhaka elbowed Joe Allen.
Theo Walcott turned in substitute Hector Bellerin's cross just before half-time for his 100th club goal.
Mesut Ozil headed over goalkeeper Lee Grant to give Arsenal the lead before substitute Alex Iwobi side-footed home the third.
The Gunners leapfrog Chelsea on goals scored, with Antonio Conte's side facing West Brom at Stamford Bridge on Sunday at 12:00 GMT.
Arsenal came into the game in great form after putting five past West Ham last Saturday and scoring four in Basel in the Champions League on Wednesday.
Unbeaten in the league since an opening-day home defeat by Liverpool, that record looked in danger when Xhaka caught and cut Welshman Allen with his elbow, prompting referee Lee Mason to award the penalty from which Stoke scored. He did not show the Swiss a yellow card.
The Gunners had already lost Shkodran Mustafi to injury, with the German later ruled out for at least three weeks. His replacement, Bellerin, had a superb game. The Spain right-back frequently drove forward and it was from his low cross that Walcott glanced the equaliser.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain chipped a wonderful pass over the Stoke defence for Ozil to head his ninth league goal of the season, with Potters right-back Erik Pieters still running back having had to leave the pitch following treatment.
Iwobi, who scored in Basel, ensured Arsenal moved top ahead of Chelsea, having scored four more goals than the Blues. They are level on 34 points with a goal difference of +21.
Will Arsenal have the mental and physical stamina to still be in that position come the end of the season?
Stoke were also in excellent form, winning five of their previous nine games and losing just one.
They had only conceded five times in that run but history was not in their favour, having lost their past 14 visits to Arsenal and not winning there since August 1981.
Marc Muniesa went close with an early 30-yard volley before Adam sent Petr Cech the wrong way to mark his 31st birthday with his first goal of the season.
Twice Stoke came close to scoring only for Arsenal to score almost immediately afterwards. Marko Arnautovic threatened to make it 2-0 after an excellent run in the Gunners' box but was crowded out just before Walcott's equaliser.
Mark Hughes' side increasingly found themselves on the back foot in the second half but came close to an equaliser when Peter Crouch was brought on for a corner and immediately headed down to force a smart, low save from Cech.
Within two minutes Iwobi made it 3-1 to put the game to bed.
Former Arsenal striker Ian Wright: "I can see Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's frustration. Last week he played well and he was very good again against Stoke.
"I do admire him a lot, but his chances are too far and few between for Arsenal. He's getting a lot further forward for the team, but with the emergence of Alex Iwobi it feels like he's not going to get the chance.
"I don't know what more he can do. It's up to the boss to give him a run, let him have a go. As soon as he does, he's always being taken off. Even when he plays well he still gets taken off."
Ex-England midfielder Danny Murphy: "Granit Xhaka is talented, a super passer. I noticed his nasty streak in Euro 2016. He's ill-disciplined at times. It was a stupid foul. He was sent off earlier this season against Swansea for a reckless tackle. He's been sent off eight times in two and a half years. He won't get picked any more if he keeps doing that."
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger: "We had a hesitant start, but when you play every few days sometimes it takes you time to get into a rhythm and that is what happened.

"We got a very unlucky penalty against us because it is not even a foul in my opinion. Mentally it was good for morale to get back to 1-1 before half-time.
"We are there for the fight and we have been consistent after the first game. It is down to us to maintain the focus and the desire to improve. We have a chance to fight at the top."
Stoke boss Mark Hughes: "We created a number of good opportunities when in previous years we have struggled to even get shots on goal here.

"We stood up to them and maybe conceding the equaliser before half-time lifted them and hurt us more than we thought.
"We had to push the game and look for opportunities at the other end - a lot of teams will struggle to come here and cope with the pace and power Arsenal have at the moment. You have to take it on the chin and go again."
What's next?
Arsenal are away to Everton on Tuesday (19:45) before travelling to fourth-placed Manchester City on Sunday, 18 December (16:00). Stoke host Southampton on Wednesday (20:00) with another home game to follow, against Leicester next Saturday at 15:00.

The BBC takes a look at other statues in recent history that have been removed for what they symbolised.
In 2003, when US tanks rolled into Baghdad and ousted the government of Saddam Hussein from power there were celebrations in the main square.
Iraqi men tried to pull down a huge statue of Saddam Hussein but were unable to. US troops then joined in and used an armoured vehicle to dismantle it.
The scene was watched live on television by millions of people around the world.
In 2011, Libyan rebels took Col Muammar Gaddafi's Bab al-Aziziya compound in Tripoli, one of the final areas that remained in his control after an uprising.
Footage on local television showed fighters breaking off the head of a statue of the leader and kicking it along the ground.
In December 2013, anti-government protests erupted in the streets of the Ukrainian capital Kiev, after the government refused a deal on closer ties with the European Union.
Protesters, who opposed a customs union with Russia, toppled a statue of Russian revolutionary leader Vladimir Lenin and smashed it with hammers.
It sparked the destruction of Lenin statues in various other Ukrainian cities..
The statue of Felix Dzerzhinsky, the founder of the first Soviet secret police force, the Cheka, was removed from Moscow's Lubyanka Square in 1991.
It came after the collapse of a coup against the then Soviet leader, Mikhail Gorbachev.
The Cheka was one of the former names of the KGB. Throughout the Communist era it was responsible for abducting, torturing and killing many thousands of people.
In 2013, a bronze statue of French footballer Zinedine Zidane's infamous 2006 World Cup final headbutt was taken down from the Corniche in Doha, Qatar.
The sculpture, by an Algerian-born French artist, had only been installed a few weeks earlier, but prompted outrage from Muslim conservatives who believed it encouraged idolatry.
Others thought it promoted violence or was in bad taste. It portrays Zidane headbutting Italy's Marco Materazzi.
Later this month, a Chinese court will hear the first case of its kind brought against a clinic that offers so-called "gay conversion therapy".
A long campaign in Europe and America has been successful in shifting the medical consensus against such treatment, and now campaigners want Chinese doctors to follow suit.
In an office block in the eastern city of Nanjing, down a gloomy corridor, I find the Nanjing Urban Psychiatric Consultancy Centre.
It's a small office with a sparsely-furnished treatment room upstairs, from which - seemingly prompted by our arrival - a young male patient hurriedly leaves.
China declassified homosexuality as a mental illness well over a decade ago, but clinics like this one are still easy to find.
Dr Zhou Zhengyou shows me some of the books he's written on the subject over the course of his career.
One of them is a guide for parents who suspect their son or daughter might be gay.
The overriding message appears to be that it is their own parenting methods that are somehow to "blame".
Dr Zhou now claims to cure up to 70% of his gay patients, although he says it is a long and difficult process.
And, his critics point out, at $120 (£70) a session - a lot of money on an average Chinese wage - long and difficult can mean lucrative.
Dr Zhou tells me that today he uses counselling alone and does not treat his patients with so-called aversion-therapy offered elsewhere in China. But he is happy to describe how it works.
"One common method is electric shock. When the patient has a gay thought, we electrocute them or inject them with drugs that make them sick," he said.
China's gay community has begun to fight back. They've organised a number of protests - small in number but nonetheless brave in China.
Video footage of one demonstration shows activists holding up a protest banner at a Beijing medical conference. "Being gay is not an illness," it reads.
The delegates do not seem convinced. "We cannot support homosexuality," a doctor said. "Although we try to understand it," his colleague adds.
In addition to such direct action, the campaigners have been given another avenue to pursue.
For the first time, China has allowed them to challenge gay conversion therapy in the courts.
"I had electric shock therapy only once," the man bringing the case, who calls himself Xiao Zhen, told the BBC. "Imagine those who've had it many times."
He put himself through the treatment in order to gather the evidence and he's now hoping that a successful court ruling in his favour will effectively ban the practice.
It's a battle that has been fought elsewhere, of course.
Aversion therapy has been the target of campaigners in Europe and America for decades and today, the notion of the gay conversion has not completely gone away.
But the modern medical consensus in the West is that there's no good evidence that sexual orientation can be changed.
Some people suggest that attitudes in China have been slower to evolve because of the one-child-policy as well as heavy Confucian pressure on young people to get married and produce a family heir.
Attitudes in China, though, are changing fast - that Shanghai now holds an annual gay pride event is proof of that. It includes gay film screenings, discussion groups and a fun-run.
Being China, participants are not allowed to march.
Now the court case, it's hoped, will be another step forward, sending a message that the enduring medical prejudice needs to stop.
Dr Choje Akong Rinpoche set up the Samye Ling Tibetan centre in Dumfries and Galloway in 1967.
A statement from police in the Chinese city of Chengdu said Choje Akong Rinpoche, his nephew and his driver were killed in a residential area.
It said three suspects - all of whom were Tibetan - had stabbed the men to death in a dispute about money.
The Chinese police said: "The three suspects have confessed to the crime and the case is still under investigation."
A statement on the official website of Tibetan Buddhist leader the Karmapa Lama said he was "shocked" by the news and offered his condolences to his family members and everyone at the monastery.
"I hope that all of his visions and aspirations may continue to be fulfilled," he added.
They ban the sharing of images when "the person depicted had a reasonable expectation of privacy" or "without legal justification or excuse".
It follows the discovery that some marines were sharing photos of women in a private Facebook group.
Service personnel found to be violating the regulations will be dealt with by military courts.
The interim order, which was signed on Tuesday, is expected to be made permanent in the next edition of the US Navy regulations.
The photos began to appear on the members-only Marines United group in January, when the first US Marine infantry unit began admitting women.
They were often accompanied by obscene comments and some of the women in the pictures were identified by name, rank and unit.
Membership of the group, now closed, was limited to active and retired male US Marines and Navy Corpsmen, and British Royal Marines.
A spokesperson for the Royal Navy said that as the images were posted by US Marines, it was "a matter for the US authorities".
Some of the images appeared to have been taken covertly, while others are believed to have been taken with the women's consent but posted without permission.
Facebook and Google closed the social media accounts of those posting the images, following a request from the US Marine Corps.
A Google Drive folder hosting the images was also deleted.
England one-day captain Cook is in the running for the 2012 cricketer of the year, Test cricketer of the year and the one-day international cricketer of the year awards.
Cook's England team-mates Stuart Broad, Matt Prior and Steven Finn have also been nominated for awards.
Cricketer of the year: Stuart Broad, Alastair Cook
Test cricketer of the year: Stuart Broad, Alastair Cook, Matt Prior
ODI cricketer of the year: Alastair Cook, Steven Finn
Women's ODI cricketer of the year: Lydia Greenway, Sarah Taylor
Women's T20 international cricketer of the year: Sarah Taylor
International T20 international performance of the year: Ravi Bopara v West Indies, 23 September 2011
The ceremony is scheduled for 15 September in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
Fast bowler Broad, 26, has been nominated in the cricketer of the year and Test cricketer of the year categories.
In addition, wicketkeeper Matt Prior, 30, is also in the running for Test cricketer of the year while bowler Finn, 23, has been nominated for the ODI cricketer of the year.
As well as Cook, Pakistan's Saeed Ajmal, South Africa's Hashim Amla, Australia captain Michael Clarke, Sri Lanka's Kumar Sangakkara and West Indies women's player Stafanie Taylor have also been nominated in three categories.
It is the second successive year batsman Cook has been nominated for the cricketer of the year award, which was won by his England team-mate Jonathan Trott in 2011.
Also nominated along with Cook and Broad for the cricketer of the year's Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy are Ajmal, Amla and fellow South African Vernon Philander, Clarke, Sangakkara, India's Virat Kohli and Taylor.
England's Lydia Greenway and Sarah Taylor are in contention for the ICC women's ODI cricketer of the year award, while Taylor is also in the hunt for the Women's T20 International cricketer of the year.
The nominations are chosen by an independent selection panel of experts based on performances between 4 August 2011 and 6 August 2012 - a period which began with Cook's career-best 294 as England went to the top of the ICC world Test rankings with a series-clinching victory over India at Edgbaston.
There were reports of about five bombers at the camp's western gates. So-called Islamic State (IS) said it carried out the attack.
Most of the dead were police recruits.
The attack comes as IS continue to counterattack on the edges of the city of Ramadi, a week after it was recaptured by Iraqi troops.
The BBC's Thomas Fessy, who has just returned from Ramadi, the capital of Anbar province, says there has been heavy fighting in the centre and north-eastern districts of the city, and the Iraqi forces have been taking casualties.
The Iraqi government said a week ago that it had "liberated" Ramadi from IS. The jihadist group had held the city since May.
Is Ramadi the model for defeating IS in Iraq?
Did tactical switch help advance?

Viewpoint: How to defeat IS
The attack on Camp Speicher took place in early hours of Sunday morning. At least 20 police were also injured.
They are reported to be police from Nineveh province, training to take it back from IS.
IS said in a statement that it had carried out the attack, adding that it had targeted "trainers from the rejectionist army", referring to Shia Muslims, Reuters news agency reported.
Camp Speicher was the scene of a massacre by IS of up to 1,700 Iraqi Shia troops during their advance across the region in June 2014, some of which has been reversed.
Iraq's Defence Ministry says IS has stepped up suicide attacks since it lost control of Ramadi.
Y Not Festival originally hosted local bands but now attracts big acts including this year's headliners Snoop Dogg, Primal Scream and Basement Jaxx.
Founder Ralph Broadbent originally planned to hold a party in his parents' Derbyshire garden while they were away.
The party was moved to a disused quarry when his parents stayed at home.
It was called Big Gin Fest - a play on its location near Biggin in the Peak District - and attracted about 120 people when it was held over two days in 2005.
Mr Broadbent said: "That was the first beginnings of it, next year we got a licence, we grew it and invited the public and it sort of doubled every year, now we've sort of got to 15,000 people."
The name changed to Y Not Festival in 2006, although it was held in the same quarry.
Mr Broadbent was still a teenager when the festival started and ran it alongside studying at university for four years, graduating from his engineering course in 2011.
The festival is now held in the village of Pikehall and is run by the same small team.
Accolades include Best Small Festival in the 2012 UK Festival Awards.
Dean Jackson, presenter of radio programme The Beat, said Y Not is an important springboard for local talent.
"The track record is something quite spectacular," he said.
"Jake Bugg played here the day before he signed, Saint Raymond the day before he signed, Indiana, the list goes on and on, so we are hopeful that the artists playing here this weekend will go on to great things too."
Using key tracer molecules, researchers have been able to hunt down elusive cells in the eye capable of regeneration and repair.
They transplanted these regenerative stem cells into mice - creating fully functioning corneas.
Writing in the journal Nature, they say this method may one day help restore the sight of victims of burns and chemical injuries.
Limbal stem cells (LSC) are crucial for healthy eyesight - these cells work to maintain, repair and completely renew our corneas every few weeks.
Without them the cornea - the transparent outermost layer of the eye - would become cloudy and our vision disrupted.
A deficiency of these cells due to disease or damage through injury to the eye are among the commonest reasons behind blindness worldwide.
But the cells have so far been extremely difficult to identify, buried in a matrix of other structures in the limbal part of the eye - the junction between the cornea and the white of the eye (the sclera).
Now scientists from the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, Boston Children's Hospital, Brigham and Women's Hospital and the VA Boston Healthcare System have identified a key tracer molecule - known as ABCB5 - naturally present on the surface of limbal stem cells.
Though ABCB5 has been known about for some time in other parts of the body, this is the first time it has been spotted on LSCs, helping to single out these elusive cells.
Researchers have been able to tag these cells with fluorescent molecular flags.
In their study, the scientists used this tagging technique to instantly identify a pool of LSCs on donated human corneas.
After being transplanted to mice, these cells were able to generate fully functioning human corneas.
Prof Markus Frank, of Boston Children's Hospital, a lead author in the research, told the BBC: " The main significance for human disease is we have established a molecularly defined population of cells that we can extract from donor tissue.
"And these cells have the remarkable ability to self-regenerate. We hope to drive this research forward so this can be used as a therapy."
Harminder Dua, professor of ophthalmology at the University of Nottingham, who was not involved in this study, said: "This paper represents a very comprehensive and well conducted piece of work that takes use closer to the precise identification of stem cells.
"Applying this knowledge to a clinical setting could help improve the outcomes for patients who need corneal reconstruction."
Alex Aldridge, a former leader of Flintshire council, has previously called the 1970s maisonettes a "straitjacket" restricting development.
Tenants have been rehoused in the first of the 240 homes to be flattened and workers are disconnecting services.
The work is starting earlier than expected as it had been scheduled for later in the year.
The demolition of Coleshill Lea flats is expected to extend into September.
Other residents still need to be rehoused in other sections of the maisonettes.
Flintshire council warns that the work in August and September could cause some disruption, which it hopes to keep to a minimum.
The plan is to rebuild a mix of social housing and other community facilities, selling off some land to developers to finance other parts of the project.
Mr Aldridge said he was delighted that the beginning of the demolition process was under way as formal talks about flattening the flats began in 2003.
"This unit is the first, however, others will follow in due course as they become vacant and the people living there-in have been provided with homes of their choice," he said.
Helen Brown, the cabinet member for housing, said: "The tenants and residents have been remarkable, and I would like to thank them for their co-operation and the way they have worked with us, which has helped us to reach this point earlier than expected."
All four of the main signs to the Gwynedd town will be altered to coincide with the Euro 2016 group stage match against England.
Local councillor Dilwyn Morgan said he was "100% behind the move".
The signs will be up for the duration of Wales' time in the competition.
Mr Morgan said: "It's a great way to honour Gareth Bale and get behind the Welsh squad for Euro '16.
"Gareth Bale is an international sporting star and this move should put Bala, sorry, Bale, on the international map."
Mari Williams, editor of local newspaper Y Cyfnod, said: "This shows the lengths fans will go to in order to support the squad."
Sterling had stabilised in early trade, but by late afternoon had dropped 0.66% against the dollar to $1.2659 and fell 0.73% against the euro to 1.1299 euros.

On Friday, the pound suffered its biggest one-day drop in about eight months following the election.
The uncertainty caused by the election result has led business confidence to sink "through the floor", according to one lobby group.
A snap poll of 700 members of the Institute of Directors found a "dramatic drop" in confidence following the hung parliament.
Global currency markets are trying to work out how the election will affect the UK's exit from the European Union.
Negotiations with Brussels are due to begin next week, with the outcome expected to have a significant impact on the economies of both the UK and the EU.
Mrs May has been pushing for a so-called hard Brexit - where the UK leaves the EU single market and the customs union - instead of a softer Brexit, where the UK would maintain those links.
A report from rating agency Moody's released on Monday said the inconclusive election result could affect the UK's credit rating.
Moody's said the election would "complicate and probably delay Brexit negotiations, a credit negative".
However, it added that the government might now "consider 'softer' Brexit options, which could be credit positive".
Kathleen Brooks, research director at City Index, said the future direction of the pound was "still very much up in the air".
"The prospect of a hard split with the EU has been kryptonite for the pound, so a potential rethink on the UK government's Brexit stance could limit [the pound's] downside, at least for now.
"However, not even the rising odds of a soft Brexit have been enough to spark positive momentum for the pound."
Technology shares came under pressure in London on Monday, with software company Micro Focus down by 3.8% and accounting platform provider Sage Group 1.8% lower.
Overall, the European technology sector saw its biggest share declines since the Brexit vote a year ago.
The trend in Europe seemed to be taking its lead from Wall Street.

Here's a selection of the reaction to news of the findings.
Brian Cox, Royal Society professor for public engagement in science, said:
This is a very exciting discovery for two reasons. Firstly, it confirms yet again that Einstein's Theory of General Relativity, published 101 years ago, is a supremely precise description of space and time, gravity and the evolution of the Universe.
This opens up an entirely new way of observing the Universe. We can now observe collisions between black holes, probing gravity in ever more exotic and extreme situations, and look back in time far closer to the Big Bang than ever before. Gravitational wave astronomy opens up an entirely new window on nature.
Prof Kip Thorne, from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), who originally proposed the LIGO experiment in the 1980s, said:
Until now, we have only seen space-time when it's calm. We have only seen the surface of the ocean on a calm day when it's quite glassy. We have never seen the ocean riled by a violent storm with crashing waves before.
Dr Szabolcs Marka, an astrophysicist at Columbia University in New York, commented:
Until this moment we had our eyes on the sky and we couldn't hear the music... The skies will never be the same.
Prof David Reitze, executive director of the LIGO project, which detected the gravitational waves, said:
This is truly a scientific Moon-shot and we did it. We landed on the Moon.
Up until now we have been deaf to gravitational waves, but today, we are able to hear them.
Prof Abhay Ashtekar, theoretical physicist at Penn State University in Pennsylvania, said:
It's really comparable only to Galileo taking up the telescope and looking at the planets... Our understanding of the heavens changed dramatically.
Prof Alberto Vecchio, from the University of Birmingham, a member of the team, commented:
This observation is truly incredible science and marks three milestones for physics: the direct detection of gravitational waves, the first observation of a binary black hole, and the most convincing evidence to-date that Nature's black holes are the objects predicted by Einstein's theory.
Prof Karsten Danzmann, from the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics and Leibniz University in Hannover, Germany, stated:
There is a Nobel Prize in it - there is no doubt.
It is the first ever direct detection of gravitational waves; it's the first ever direct detection of black holes and it is a confirmation of General Relativity because the property of these black holes agrees exactly with what Einstein predicted almost exactly 100 years ago.
It follows three years of Greater Manchester Marathon times being declared invalid in April after the course was found to be short by 380m.
Courses are measured using a bicycle fitted with a counter to calculate distance by the turning of the wheels.
However, the course used to calibrate the bicycle wheel was short by 0.5%.
So far, five of the affected 39 courses - including the Greater Manchester Marathon - have been re-measured and all have been found to be short. They are:
Volunteers are re-measuring a further three courses believed to have used the same device to calculate their race routes. They are:

Warwick Medical School is leading the trial after concerns adrenaline, used to restart the heart, could cause brain damage and even death.
West Midlands Ambulance Service said the work could ultimately save "hundreds of patients".
The trial, involving some 8,000 patients, will start in the autumn.
It will see ambulance staff in the West Midlands, London, Wales, and on the south coast and north-east of England inject roughly half of the the patients with adrenaline and the others with a salt solution placebo.
Patients, however, will not be able to give consent as they will be unconscious, prompting criticism from some experts.
Paramedics and other clinical staff will also be unaware which patients received the placebo.
West Midlands Ambulance Service medical director Dr Andy Carson said: "Although adrenaline has been used for many years in cardiac arrest management, there is growing evidence that it may result in poorer outcomes for patients, hence the trial."
He said developments in technology suggested the drug "may cause more harm than good".
The British Heart Foundation has also supported the study.
Ken Timmis, chair of the Wolverhampton Coronary Aftercare Support Group, said he was confident his members would support any project that could ultimately "lead to better survival rates".
About 50,000 people a year in the UK suffer a cardiac arrest, according to Warwick Medical School, but resuscitation is successful in just one in four cases.
Dr Carson said defibrillation and CPR would be used as normal, while the trial would not affect patients suffering from conditions such as anaphylaxis.
He said patients suffering heart attacks would not be affected as adrenaline is not used as part of the treatment.
Mr Juncker said such an army would restore the European Union's foreign policy standing and show it is serious about defending its values.
It would not be in competition with Nato, he insisted.
A UK government spokesman said defence was a national responsibility and there was no prospect of a European army.
Mr Juncker has voiced support for a European army before but he suggested Russia's military action in Ukraine had made the case much more compelling.
"With its own army, Europe could react more credibly to the threat to peace in a member state or in a neighbouring state," he said in an interview with German newspaper Die Welt.
He added: "One wouldn't have a European army to deploy it immediately.
"But a common European army would convey a clear message to Russia that we are serious about defending our European values."
The EU has come in for criticism for its response to Russia's annexing of Crimea last year and support for separatist rebels in eastern Ukraine.
Mr Juncker argued that inter-governmental force Nato was not enough because not all members of the transatlantic defence alliance are in the EU.
He said a common EU army would send important signals to the world and the purchase of military equipment would "bring significant savings".
The 28-nation EU already has battle groups that are manned on a rotational basis and meant to be available as a rapid reaction force. But they have never been used in a crisis.
EU leaders have said they want to boost the common security policy by improving rapid response capabilities.
But Britain, along with France one of the two main military in the EU, has been wary of a bigger military role for the bloc, fearing it could undermine Nato.
A UK government spokesman said: "Our position is crystal clear that defence is a national, not an EU responsibility and that there is no prospect of that position changing and no prospect of a European army."
But German Defence Minster Ursula von der Leyen, welcomed the idea. "Our future as Europeans will at some point be with a European army," she told a German radio station.

Guptill batted from start to finish as the co-hosts posted 393 for six before bowling the West Indies out for 250.
The 28-year-old hit 11 sixes and 24 fours during his 163-ball innings.
"Sublime, just sublime," said Black Caps skipper McCullum. "I will never forget it."
The 33-year-old, who opened the batting with Guptill but was dismissed for 12 by Jerome Taylor, continued: "The innings we witnessed is probably one of the best we have seen in this format."
Media playback is not supported on this device
Guptill dominated the New Zealand innings, scoring 60% of his team's runs, supported well by Kane Williamson (33), Ross Taylor (42), and Grant Elliott (27).
West Indies kept up with the run-rate throughout their response, thanks mainly to Chris Gayle's 61 in 33 balls and some big-hitting later in the order from the likes of Jonathan Carter (32) and Jason Holder (42).
But the New Zealand attack ensured that wickets fell regularly, with Trent Boult the pick of the co-host's bowlers with 4-44 in his 10 overs.
"We wanted to make a real statement on the back of Gup's innings and that's what we did with the ball and in the field," said McCullum.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Guptill's score was the highest by a New Zealand batsman in ODI cricket, passing the opener's own record of 189 not out against England in Southampton in June 2013, and is the best in World Cup cricket, beating Chris Gayle's 215 against Zimbabwe earlier in this tournament.
It is the second highest in ODIs behind the 264 scored by India's Rohit Sharma in a match against Sri Lanka in Kolkata in November last year.
New Zealand next face a semi-final match with South Africa, who finally claimed a first World Cup knockout win by beating Sri Lanka by nine wickets in Sydney.
The last-four encounter will take place next Tuesday in Auckland - the ground on which New Zealand beat Australia and South Africa lost to Pakistan earlier in the tournament.
New Zealand will be aiming for their first World Cup final appearance having now reached the semi-finals seven times.
"We will celebrate Gup's success, the team's success and then turn our attention to the semi-final," said McCullum.
"It's pretty hard to compare eras but certainly among the teams I have played in, this is the best.
"No disrespect to the legends of the past but I am pretty happy with the current team."
The department's strategic planning and policy development forum also criticised a number of the department's policies for promoting inclusion.
Academic selection concentrated "lower-achieving pupils, often from socially deprived areas, into a small group of 11-16 schools", the report said.
It added that NI's formal school leaving age should rise from 16 to 19.
The body was set up by DE in 2011 and its membership includes a number of departmental officials, teaching employers and trade unions.
Its function is to "work with the department to help shape and influence policy development and strategic planning before decisions are made".
It has been examining "how the education system might more effectively contribute to promoting inclusion and prosperity for all young people" since July 2015.
The report was submitted to Education Minister Peter Weir in November 2016 and has just been published.
While it said that "our education system has many strengths", it also noted "high-level policy inconsistencies and incoherence" in a number of areas.
"There is still a long way to go in terms of ensuring that the great majority of our young people leave school with a high level of achievement," said the report.
This is despite more than two-thirds of young people leaving school with five or more GCSEs at grades A*-C, including English and Maths.
The report did not explicitly call for academic selection to be abandoned, but said that it had "negative influences".
It said selection leads to some children becoming uninterested in learning during Year 6 in primary school.
Further, it said the education system was "reflective of a divided society in terms of religious background, social class, ethnicity and disability".
"This social division is evident in the continuing existence of a selective and non-selective post-primary system," added the report.
It recommended that only schools "which are non-selective and desirably co-educational" should be approved by the minister in future.
"Our social and educational systems are tolerating and even perpetuating poverty," added the report.
"The disparity in educational and employment opportunities between pupils from families experiencing socio-economic deprivation and better off pupils is stark.
"The gap between the achievement of those individuals who come from relatively affluent families and those from deprived areas is getting wider and wider."
The report recommended that all young people should receive "continuous education" until the age of 19.
However, it said more professional and technical subjects and options should be available to young people aged 14-19, and called for closer links between schools and business and industry.
The report was also critical of DE's sustainable schools policy, saying it was "flawed from the start".
It cited aspects of the Polish and Finnish education systems as examples Northern Ireland could learn from.
However, it warned that "future policies will also struggle to have a meaningful impact unless education can become a positive driver for inclusion and prosperity rather than a contested political entity".
In a statement, Education Minister Peter Weir said he supported the right of schools to select on the basis of academic ability.
He added that he believed that every child, regardless of background, should have the opportunity to get into a grammar school, if it is their wish to do so.
The UK government has officially started the process of leaving the European Union.
In the letter to trigger Article 50 Theresa May said she would consult on which powers should be devolved.
First Minister Carwyn Jones said there was "no reason" why Brexit should be "disastrous" and said its effect could be minimal if done properly.
In the letter to European Council president Donald Tusk, Mrs May said: "From the start and throughout the discussions, we will negotiate as one United Kingdom, taking due account of the specific interests of every nation and region of the UK as we do so.
"When it comes to the return of powers back to the United Kingdom, we will consult fully on which powers should reside in Westminster and which should be devolved to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
"But it is the expectation of the Government that the outcome of this process will be a significant increase in the decision-making power of each devolved administration."
Carwyn Jones told BBC Wales that there was "no reason" why Brexit "should be disastrous".
Mr Jones said the negotiations will take "much more than two years. It will be five years. We have to be patient.
"What's important is that this is got right and not rushed and got wrong."
He said if the negotiations are "done properly then actually the effect can be minimal. The effect can be such that it won't cause us any difficulties at all.
"If it is done badly it's a potential disaster. It makes Wales and the UK look as if we're out on a limb somewhere, a group of islands off the coast of Europe that isn't part of a very large market."
Earlier, in a statement responding to the triggering of Article 50, Mr Jones told the Senedd that he would welcome Mrs May's comments on devolving powers if they "prove to be the case".
"If not, this government will oppose vigorously as, I have no doubt, will others in this chamber," he said.
Mr Jones told AMs that although he had discussed the letter "in general terms" with the Prime Minister when she visited Swansea last week, ministers did not see the letter before Wednesday, nor were invited to contribute to its drafting.
"This is unacceptable and is the culmination of a deeply frustrating process in which the devolved administrations have been persistently treated with a lack of respect," he said.
Andrew RT Davies, the Conservative leader in the assembly, rejected claims that Theresa May had not listened to and consulted the Welsh Government.
"The prime minister has been to Wales five times," he said, amid heckling in the chamber.
Mr Davies - who had campaigned to leave the EU - went on to accuse Mr Jones and his government of not engaging with those on the majority side of the referendum result.
He also welcomed the prime minister's commitment to give greater powers to Wales.
Earlier on Wednesday Mr Davies told BBC Radio Wales the first minister had no evidence to support his claim on Tuesday that farming subsidies could disappear after the UK leaves the European Union.
Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood told the Senedd that Wednesday was a "profound day in the history of Wales".
Highlighting that 67% of exports in Wales last year went to the EU, she said: "While Wales voted narrowly to leave the EU, the UK government's intention is to take us out of the single market as well.
"The UK government's intention to reach a free trade agreement will not put us in the same position as Norway, Iceland or Switzerland."
UKIP assembly group leader Neil Hamilton said he regretted that Mr Jones "yet again has failed to rise to the level of events".
"Does he not see that today acts as a great day for the United Kingdom and a great day for Wales?" Mr Hamilton asked.
"Because what we are seeing here is the beginning of a process of the restoration of democratic self-government.
"I say to the first minister, do cheer up." he added.
David Rees, the Labour AM who chairs the assembly's external affairs committee, said: "Irrespective of party, or of where we stood during the referendum, we must now come together in the Welsh interest.
"We have years of hard work ahead of us and we will need to draw on the expertise and talents of the Welsh people to get a deal that is right for Wales."
Welsh Liberal Democrat leader Mark Williams MP said the prime minister had chosen "the hardest and most divisive form of Brexit ... tearing Wales' businesses, farmers, and industry out of the world's biggest single market".
"I welcome the commitment to the transfer of powers to Wales," he added.
"However Wales must have the resources to effectively deliver for the people of Wales on those new powers."
Analysis by BBC Wales parliamentary correspondent David Cornock
The prime minister promised that the Welsh Government would be "fully engaged" in the Brexit process but it has not been difficult to highlight differences between the approach of the UK and Welsh governments.
Theresa May believes continued membership of the single market "would mean being bound by EU laws. That would mean in practice not leaving the EU".
The Welsh Government - and Plaid Cymru - believe continued "participation" in the single market is still possible if the freedom of movement rules apply only to those with a job.
But it is also easy to exaggerate the differences between the two governments. As recently as January, a spokesman for the first minister said they were not "irreconcilable". Welsh Secretary Alun Cairns has spoken of "common ground" on free trade.

The Russian, 31, who qualified for the event ahead of Britain's Johanna Konta, cut her thick plait in half with scissors at the start of the third set.
"It was bothering me a lot. When I was hitting the forehands I hit a good shot and it would hit my eye," she said.
"I thought, 'what's more important? My hair, which can grow, or the match?'"
Kuznetsova asked the umpire to supply her with a pair of scissors to carry out her impromptu haircut.
Defending champion Radwanska said she was unaware of the incident, but agreed with her opponent's priorities.
"I didn't even know that," said the Pole. "Good thing she didn't cut her anything else. I think hair is not very important."
It was just one dramatic moment in a three-hour match in which Kuznetsova recovered from 4-1 down to take the first set, saved a match point in the third and was tearful at a changeover before prevailing.
Kuznetsova endured a hectic build-up to the season finale, winning the Kremlin Cup in Moscow on Saturday to collect the ranking points she needed to edge out Konta in the race for the eighth and final qualifying spot before flying to Singapore.

Bournemouth had a good win at Swansea but they will be without Jack Wilshere for the visit of his parent club.

Judge Sylvia de Bertodano told him the fact he was in the public eye "clearly makes your fall from grace that much more spectacular".
"You have made a significant contribution, both to the horticultural industry and to the charitable causes you have supported," she said.
But the court heard his victims were left feeling violated and devastated by his "vile and repulsive" behaviour.
His actions came to light when one of the victims discovered the motion-sensitive camera, and Brookes was arrested in September.
"There was really significant planning. You were intervening on a daily basis and moving the position of the camera and maximising what you could see," Ms de Bertodano said.
Privacy was a "a pretty basic human right", she said, adding: "And what you did was a gross invasion of the privacy of seven young women, of whom you were old enough to be their father."

The incident inspired Compton Mackenzie's book Whisky Galore and an Ealing comedy of the same name.
Glasgow auction website, Scotch Whisky Auctions, will take bids for the bottles until 5 May.
The SS Politician was headed for Jamaica when it ran aground on the northern side of Eriskay in bad weather.
Islanders recovered hundreds of cases of whisky from the wreck and some of the bottles were buried to keep them hidden from customs officers.
Other bottles have since been found washed up on the island's shores and also recovered by divers.
The two being auctioned are among eight bottles that were recovered in 1987 when Donald MacPhee, from South Uist, explored the wreck.
Mr MacPhee sold his find at auction at Christie's for a total of £4,000.
Two of those bottles were bought by a man in Fraserburgh in Aberdeenshire. He recently died and his widow decided to sell them along with the neck tags from Christie's and letters of authentication.
The whisky is thought to be not fit for consumption, however, Scotch Whisky Auctions' director Bill Mackintosh said their story was likely to attract bids.
He said: "Everybody loves the idea of the wily islanders diving to the bottom of the wreck and coming back up with bottles of whisky which they would then hide from the customs.
"This lot of two bottles is incredibly scarce and provides a rare opportunity to obtain a real piece of Scottish history."
The shipwreck continues to inspire groups and individuals today.
A musical of Whisky Galore was performed at the Festival Theatre in Pitlochry while on Barra a festival celebrating the events of the 1940s were staged four years ago.
The 23-year-old beat home favourite Daria Davydova, 26, in the third-fourth place play-off in Russia.
With the contest scoreless, Livesey earned the winning point with a counter attack with 15 seconds remaining.
Britons Kelly Edwards (-52kg), Alice Schlesinger (-63kg), Natalie Powell (-78kg), Max Stewart (-90kg) and Ben Fletcher (-100kg) are also in Russia.
The Grand Slam is one of the key events in the countdown to the 2017 World Judo Championships in Budapest, Hungary, in August.
The thieves, who had Scottish accents, threatened them with a weapon, which was not a gun, before stealing thousands of pounds worth of jewellery and cash.
The incident happened in Crewe Road South just before 02:00.
Police are carrying out inquiries and have increased high-visibility patrols.
Detectives have appealed for information but are particularly keen to hear about someone someone seen at the back of the property between 11:00 and midday on Saturday 20 September.
Det Ch Inspector Stuart Houston, of Police Scotland, said: "It's too early to say if that is directly connected but obviously it's part of our investigation."
He added: "The occupants of the house were awoken in the night to four masked intruders, who threatened them with a weapon and demanded cash.
"This was obviously a terrifying experience for them, and we are looking for any information to help us trace those responsible.
"I would be particularly keen to trace the drivers or occupants of any vehicles that were within the area at the time of the incident.
"We don't have a clear description of the men as they were wearing masks, but they were all wearing dark clothing, and we are working to establish further details."
It was the 24th time we've played each other, and in our last match at the O2 in November I only won one game, but even then it wasn't like I was getting aced off the court and couldn't touch the ball.
At one point on Friday I looked up at the scoreboard and it was 3-2 and he'd served nine aces, and I thought, 'What's going on?' It was his best serving performance in one of our matches and not just by a little bit, by far.

Losing at Wimbledon is especially tough because I feel like it's my best surface and I get incredible support, so it's probably my best chance to win another Grand Slam.
We'll see over the next few days if it makes the disappointment easier to bear this time, but it's not like I came off the court and thought that I did something stupid or played some ridiculous shots at the wrong times. Roger just played great and deserved to win.
Obviously you go into a Wimbledon semi-final against Roger knowing the level is going to be higher, but I didn't feel like my tennis wasn't where it needed to be.
When I was in the rallies, I felt fine. The level was there. It's just that his serving was so good that I couldn't get into enough rallies to make it count.
I tried moving and changing my returning position as much as I could, and I won more than my fair share of points when he missed the first serve, he just didn't miss enough of them. I would be interested to see the ball placements of where they actually landed because it felt like they were all right on the line, or very close.
The crowd did their best to help me and I felt like they were really pumped in that long game at the end of the second set, but it was probably hard for them to get as involved as they might like throughout the match when I couldn't create any break points after the first game.
There are always moments in a defeat when you look back and think you might have done something differently, but not many this time.
Maybe in the first set, when I got broken, I came in twice on his backhand when I had the full court open into his forehand. I felt like I could have hit those forehands to a different spot on the court, but he came up with some great passes.
But it was pretty clear to me what the problem was and the stats that flashed up on the scoreboard at the changeovers confirmed it.
They only have the basic information like first-serve percentage, first-serve points won, second-serve points won, but it was clear that the difference in the match was his first serve. We both won about the same amount of points on each other's second serve up until the last game.
I served very well for most of the match but he just won a few more of my first-serve points and I couldn't win enough of his. It's a shame it had to happen in such a big match.
The next few days will be difficult but I have Britain's Davis Cup tie against France at Queen's Club to focus on next week and, while it's hard to imagine it now, I know that I'll be as pumped as ever once I get back out on court - I love representing my country and playing Davis Cup.
In the meantime, my brother Jamie and John Peers play in the Wimbledon men's doubles final on Saturday and a win for them would help me get over my own disappointment, for sure - although it's not their job to worry about me.
It's hard to explain but Jamie and I have left each other alone during the tournament.
If we were playing in the same team, it's different, but there will be a lot of people getting excited around Jamie and I'll just wish him luck and let him be.
He's got a good team of people around him and they'll give him the right advice I'm sure.
I'd just like to thank everyone for all their support, sorry it didn't happen this time but I will be back.

Five boats carrying more than 150 people encountered strong winds from Typhoon Wutip on Sunday, Xinhua news agency says citing maritime officials.
A rescue operation is under way and reports say 14 people have been found.
The storm is expected to make landfall in central Vietnam on Monday and thousands have been evacuated there.
The boats ran into strong winds near the Paracel islands, around 330km (200 miles) from China's southern coast, officials were quoted as saying.
Two of the boats, from southern Guangdong province, sank on Sunday, and contact was eventually lost with a third boat, the Associated Press news agency says.
At least 10 ships and six planes are involved in rescue operations. Officials have advised local fishing boats to berth to avoid rough waters.
On Monday, Vietnam was anticipating widespread flooding and landslides - Typhoon Wutip is said to be the most powerful to hit the country this season.
The country's weather forecaster is expecting the typhoon to bring heavy rain and sustained winds of up to 93mph (150km/ph).
More than 40,000 villagers from areas that were expected to be affected by the typhoon have been moved to safety, reports say.
Last week, another typhoon, Usagi, left more than 25 people dead in China and affected tens of thousands of people on the mainland.
The storm hit just as millions were travelling for China's mid-Autumn festival - a national three day holiday when many visit family - leading to cancellations of transportation.
Ryan says a report from 2014 proves the case and claims Warriors are suffering similar misfortune this season.
"We are not getting the answers we want from the RFU [Rugby Football Union] refereeing department," said Ryan.
"We've been asking for an answer for two and a half years."
Ryan was angry after Warriors were not awarded a penalty try in the last minute following a deliberate knock-on in their narrow 16-14 defeat by Bath on Saturday.
He said the official match report supported his view of the incident, which merely inflamed his frustration.

"We totally understand the pressures of referees and this isn't to put the spotlight on that decision," Ryan added to BBC Hereford & Worcester.
"This is to look at, what we believe is, a two-and-a-half-year trend that has caused us problems.
"We're just asking for an equitable chance to compete in games - statistics suggest we haven't had that.
"I was absolutely dumbfounded two weeks ago to be told referees have still not been addressed about the problem."
The RFU and Premiership Rugby issued a joint statement saying so-called "trend reports" are given to all directors of rugby and match officials as part of their "development programme".
The statement added: "The information in the report is kept within that group because the key objective of the exercise is for match officials to develop and improve.
"Clearly that objective will be hindered if the report is made public and statistics taken out of context.
"We would never comment on the contents of the report publicly as that would undermine the system and our match officials.
"We have a strong and dedicated group of match officials. Like players and coaches they make mistakes but the standard of officiating in Aviva Premiership Rugby is as good if not better than in any league in the world."
Trevor Owens, sports editor BBC Hereford & Worcester
"Dean Ryan allowed members of the press to look at the trend report for the 2013-2014 season - the last time the Warriors were a Premiership team.
"Even to the untrained eye, the data appeared to indicate Warriors had been on the wrong end of more than their fair share of incorrect decisions.
"He accepts cynics will say he is only complaining because they are on a run of 13 games without a win, but insists the issue runs much deeper than this.
"Quite how the governing bodies will view this remains to be seen, but I got the distinct impression Ryan would welcome any conversation with them on the subject."
Stephen Anthony Hough, 58, is on trial for the rape and murder of 15-year-old Janet Commins, whose body was found in a field in Flint on 11 January 1976.
He is also accused of her sexual assault and manslaughter.
Retired biologist Anthony Peabody told Mold Crown Court standards of record-keeping had changed over the years.
Under cross-examination by Patrick Harrington QC, Dr Peabody, who was involved in the post-mortem examination, also agreed the labelling of some swabs taken from Janet's body had not been conducted in the way he would have expected.
The court heard that the pathologist on the case gave Dr Peabody a mouth swab, but Dr Peabody did not record the fact he received it.
Mr Harrington suggested Dr Peabody had made a mistake, to which he replied: "No, I'm afraid not."
Dr Peabody said they were only required to record and refer to items "on which we found something of obvious significance", and the fact there was no record of the mouth swab suggested it showed nothing of significance.
"It is not a mistake. It is how things were done in 1976," he said.
The court has already heard from prosecutor Mark Heywood QC that Janet died "as a result of her neck and her external airway being compressed and blocked during that sexual assault".
He also told the jury the schoolgirl was spotted with two boys before she went missing.
One man has already served a sentence after admitting Janet's manslaughter, but he says he did not kill her.
Mr Heywood said that Noel Jones, who was 18 at the time of the death, "never challenged the circumstances of his conviction, but he asserts that he always knew that he was innocent and he only confessed due to the pressure that he felt placed upon him at the time".
In 2006, a review of the scientific evidence in the case was carried out and DNA from a man was identified from samples taken from Janet's body.
In 2016, Mr Hough's DNA was taken by police in an unrelated matter and a match was found, prompting his arrest.
The trial continues.
The leaders have published a joint declaration backing the "strengthening" of the Scottish Parliament.
A spokeswoman for Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond said the vow was a "rehash" of old promises.
The Scottish referendum on independence is to be held on 18 September.
It comes as Mr Salmond and Alistair Darling, the chairman of pro-UK Better Together campaign, are due to go head to head in a televised referendum debate later.
The formal declaration - which has been signed by the Prime Minister Mr Cameron, deputy prime minister and Liberal Democrat leader Mr Clegg and Labour leader Mr Miliband - vows to strengthen the Scottish Parliament's powers over "fiscal responsibility and social security".
It sets out plans to increase the powers of Holyrood "as swiftly as possible" after next year's general election - if Scotland votes to stay within the UK.
The declaration says: "We support a strong Scottish Parliament in a strong United Kingdom and we support the further strengthening of the parliament's powers."
"The Scottish Labour Party, the Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party and the Scottish Liberal Democrats have each produced our own visions of the new powers which the Scottish Parliament needs.
"We shall put those visions before the Scottish people at the next general election and all three parties guarantee to start delivering more powers for the Scottish Parliament as swiftly as possible in 2015.
"This commitment will deliver a stronger Scottish Parliament in a stronger United Kingdom."
However, a spokeswoman for First Minister Alex Salmond said "no-one in Scotland will be fooled by this Westminster-led rehash of vague promises and unspecified more powers in the event of a 'No' vote - the Tories have tried that before".
"David Cameron fought tooth and nail to keep a more powers option off the ballot paper, so how can anyone take him seriously now?"
At least four other people were injured and a man has been arrested.
The suspect is being questioned by police to determine his motives, the interior ministry said.
The knifeman initially killed the two women before injuring two other tourists at the Zahabia hotel, officials told Reuters news agency.
He then swam to a nearby beach and attacked and wounded two more people at the Sunny Days El Palacio resort before he was overpowered by staff and arrested.
"He had a knife with him and stabbed each of them three times in the chest. They died on the beach," El Palacio hotel Security Manager Saud Abdelaziz said.
Mr Abdelaziz said the injured include two Czechs and two Armenians. All are now being treated in hospital.
The attacker's motive was still under investigation, the interior ministry said.
"He was looking for foreigners and he didn't want any Egyptians," a member of staff at the Zahabia hotel said.
Three foreign tourists were stabbed at the same resort, renowned for its scuba diving, in January 2016 by two suspected militants from the Islamic State militant group (IS).
Egypt 'let down' by continued UK flight ban to Sharm
Can Egypt's tourism recover?
Initial reports had said those killed were Ukrainian, but Ukrainian officials denied this.
It is unclear whether the attacker had any links to jihadist groups or whether he was psychologically disturbed, officials said.
Egypt's security forces are dealing with an Islamist uprising in the country's Sinai Peninsula. The tourist industry has been targeted by militants in North Africa over the past few years.
A Russian passenger plane was brought down by a bomb in the peninsula in October 2015, killing all 224 people on board.
In June 2015 at least 39 people, mostly foreigners, were killed and 36 injured in an attack on a beach in the Tunisian resort town of Sousse.
The contractors had no background in counterterrorism, yet were paid more than $80m (£51m) for their services.
The CIA also allowed the men to assess the effectiveness of their own interrogation programme.
The revelations are outlined in a new Senate report on the "brutal" interrogations of al-Qaeda suspects in the years after the 9/11 attacks.
Suspects were interrogated using methods such as waterboarding, slapping, humiliation, exposure to cold and sleep deprivation.
Such procedures were developed, managed and reviewed by two contract psychologists with experience at the US Air Force Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape school.
But the report says "neither psychologist had any experience as an interrogator, nor did either have specialised knowledge of al-Qaeda, a background in counterterrorism, or any relevant cultural or linguistic expertise".
And yet, the two men were said to have personally participated in the interrogation of some of the CIA's "most significant" detainees.
They also determined whether a detainees' psychological state allowed for the ongoing use of enhanced interrogation, the report finds.
Meanwhile, the men served as liaisons between the CIA and foreign intelligence services, and were allowed by the intelligence agency to assess the effectiveness of their own work - work that was ultimately found by the Democrats on the Senate intelligence committee to be brutal and ineffective.
Identified under the pseudonyms Dr Grayson Swigert and Dr Hammond Dunbar in the report, the two men have been revealed by US media as military retirees Jim Mitchell and Bruce Jessen.
Dr Mitchell joined the Air Force in 1974, specialising in bomb disarmament before earning a doctorate in psychology focusing on diet, exercise and hypertension, according to the New York Times.
Dr Jessen, meanwhile, earned a doctorate focusing on "family sculpting" and later became a psychologist with the Air Force Survival School responsible for screening instructors posing as enemy interrogators.
Both men, said to be lieutenant colonels, became defence department experts on resisting enemy interrogations - but fellow psychologists reported scepticism and even concern regarding their methods, the New York Times adds.
After the 9/11 attacks, the Senate report says Dr Mitchell proposed using a concept called "learned helplessness" in interrogating al-Qaeda suspects to ensure complicity with captor's demands.
At the time, experienced interrogators argued such a strategy would demoralise a prisoner to such an extent that he would say whatever the interrogator expected.
In 2002, both men were tasked with reviewing a seized al-Qaeda manual which coached terrorists in how to resist interrogation.
In response, the men proposed introducing brutal techniques, including sleep deprivation and waterboarding, into US procedures.
When US operatives captured high-value target Abu Zubaydah, two Federal Bureau of Investigation agents used conventional methods to interrogate him at a Thailand CIA facility.
Then the CIA, as advised by Dr Mitchell, stripped the suspect and blasted music at him to prevent sleep. In the following weeks, Dr Mitchell reportedly took control of the interrogation and directly questioned the suspect himself.
Mr Jessen later joined the effort, and the suspect was waterboarded 83 times before it was determined he had no further information to offer.
According to the Senate report, a cable said to be authored by the two men indicated the interrogation of Zubaydah was a success.
It "should be used as a template for future interrogation of high value captives," they wrote, not because it produced useful information but instead because it confirmed the suspect did not possess the intelligence information the CIA had believed he was withholding.
Meanwhile, FBI agents involved in questioning the suspect objected to the strategy, with one special agent reporting to headquarters the two CIA psychologists had acquired "tremendous influence".
The FBI also argued that all usable information gathered from questioning the suspect came directly from earlier FBI-led inquiries.
The psychologists' methods were subsequently used at least two dozen more times, including in the 2003 interrogation of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.
According to the Senate report findings, the two men assessed the suspect - said to be waterboarded more than 100 times - and recommended only they should further interrogate him on a monthly basis, charging four times that of other interrogators.
This prompted government concerns about conflict of interest, according to the Senate report.
This was "nowhere more graphic than in the setting in which the same individuals applied an [enhanced interrogation technique] which only they were approved to employ, judged both its effectiveness and detainee resilience, and implicitly proposed continued use of the technique - at a daily compensation reported to be $1800/day".
In 2005, the psychologists formed Mitchell Jessen and Associates with offices in Washington state and Virginia. By 2007 the company had grown to nearly 60 employees, earning millions from CIA contracts after the agency outsourced nearly all its interrogation operations.
But, in 2009, US President Barack Obama's then-CIA director Leon Panetta decommissioned the agency's secret jails and vowed contractors would no longer conduct interrogations, terminating the partnership.
By then, Dr Jessen and Dr Mitchell had received nearly half of their $180m CIA contract. This was not before the CIA had already agreed to a $5m indemnification contract covering, among other things, criminal prosecution.
In 2007, Mitchell Jessen and Associates hired a law firm and billed the CIA more than $1m in legal expenses through 2012.
Under the CIA's current contract with the company, they are obligated to pay legal expenses until 2021.
The blueprint for all life forms on Earth is written in a code consisting of four "letters": A, T, C and G, which pair up in the DNA double helix.
But the lab organism has been modified to use an additional two, giving it a genetic code of six letters.
Researchers hope the work could lead to bugs that can help manufacture new classes of drugs to treat disease.
The team from the US, China and France have published their work in PNAS journal.
Previous research had shown that an "unnatural base pair" (UBP), consisting of two synthetic letters called X and Y, could be incorporated into the DNA of Escherichia coli bacteria.
But the resulting bugs grew slowly, and the UBP was expunged after several rounds of cell division.
Now, Prof Floyd Romesberg, from The Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, California, and colleagues, have shown that their single-celled organism can hold on indefinitely to the synthetic base pair as it divides.
"We've made this semisynthetic organism more life-like," said Prof Romesberg, senior author of the new study.
"Your genome isn't just stable for a day," said Prof Romesberg. "Your genome has to be stable for the scale of your lifetime. If the semisynthetic organism is going to really be an organism, it has to be able to stably maintain that information."
Key to the advance was a modification to a molecular transporter, which helps the E. coli bugs import the UBP.
Next, the researchers optimised their previous version of Y so that it could be better recognised by the enzymes that synthesise DNA molecules during replication.
Finally, the researchers set up a "spell check" system for the organism using the CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing tool.
They were able to take advantage of the tool to ensure that any cells that dropped X and Y would be marked for destruction by the organism.
Their semisynthetic organism was thus able to keep X and Y in its genome after dividing 60 times, leading the researchers to believe it can hold on to the base pair indefinitely.
"We can now get the light of life to stay on," said Prof Romesberg.
"That suggests that all of life's processes can be subject to manipulation."
The men died while making a descent on Stob Coire nam Beith in Glen Coe on Saturday
Mr Davidson has been described as an "absolute legend" because of his climbing abilities.
Mr Smith, who was originally from Lancashire, was a member of Glencoe Mountain Rescue.
Their bodies were found by two other climbers.
Simon was an absolute legend. He was an incredible guy with a real passion for the outdoors."
Tim Hamlet, a mountaineer who knew both men, said they were experienced climbers and their deaths had shocked the climbing community.
He said: "Simon was an absolute legend. He was an incredible guy with a real passion for the outdoors.
"I also knew Joe. It is the nature of climbing that everyone knows everyone else."
Mr Hamlet added of Mr Davidson: "He was always smiling, always happy to be out in the mountains. Many fun times shared with this great man.
"His infectious personality seemed to rub off on everyone around him. You will be sorely missed my friend."
John Grieve, who has been involved with Glencoe MRT for 52 years, told BBC Scotland that it was the team's first climbing death in its own patch.
He said: "It has always been something I've dread - carrying one of our own off the hill."
Mr Grieve said the young climber had proved himself to be a skilful team member last summer when he made a careful search of difficult terrain for a missing hillwalker.
The veteran mountain rescuer added that his favourite memory of Mr Smith was of him doing DIY at his daughter's home.
Mr Grieve said: "My seven-year-old grandson could not wait to get home from school each day to help his new friend Joe who would give him a job taking nails out with a hammer."
Conditions on Saturday were good for climbing and the area the two men were in was not prone to avalanches, said Mr Grieve.
He added: "Both men were really experienced - fit and fast and at the top of their game."
Oliver Millington, a friend of Mr Smith's and also worked with him on new Fort William climbing walls project Three Wise Monkeys, said: "Yesterday, I, and a group of friends around me that I am very fond of lost a great friend, Joe Smith, in Glen Coe."
Mr Millington paid tribute to his friend's passion for climbing, which he did as often as he could while working on The Jacobite, a steam train that takes holidaymakers on west coast railway trips.
He said: "His climbing ability quickly surpassed mine, and he furiously ticked off climbs all over Scotland, making pretty much everything look horribly easy, usually with toes sticking out the end of his climbing shoes."
George McEwan, executive officer at Mountain Training Scotland, had Mr Davidson as a student on a Ben Nevis ice climbing course seven years ago.
He said: "I remember at the time being impressed by his super enthusiastic attitude for all things mountain and climbing related.
"It was also noticeable that he was also very talented as a climber. In the intervening years his tally of ascent of challenging climbs, both summer and winter, is impressive and would be the envy of many of a veteran climber."
Simon Yearsley, who climbed new routes with Mr Davidson in Glen Coe, described his friend as someone who was "super enthusiastic" about the Scottish winter climbing scene, but also as a person "quietly aware" of its risks.
He said: "The breadth of Simon's experience and what he liked to do included hard Scottish mixed winter climbs to going off into the Pyrenees.
"Simon was a rare breed. He was super enthusiastic but with a quite reserve."
Mr Yearsley added: "What we do is a relatively dangerous game. I know Simon was a very conscientious climber and whenever I climbed with him I always had a feeling of confidence about his climbing."
Police Scotland said the alarm was raised at 16:25.
A spokesman said: "Glencoe Mountain Rescue Team attended and recovered the men from the hill who had both sadly died.
"A report will be sent to the procurator fiscal. Members of the public and mountain rescue team are thanked for their efforts during this incident."
Following the incident on Saturday afternoon, a team involving Glencoe Mountain Rescue and the police recovered the bodies.
The leader of the mountain rescue team, Andy Nelson, said the men were well-equipped for the conditions.
"No-one wants to be in the position that I was, trapped on a mountain summit for five days in a storm.
"It's something that you might prepare yourself for as a mountaineer, and you can take every precaution to try and avoid it, but sometimes things just take an unexpected turn. And that's what happened to me, and it really was a terrible experience, but I was lucky and I survived.
"Being in the mountains at any time of the year means you are entering an environment that is dangerous.
"In the Winter, particularly so, and there is a lot of dangers you have to be aware of like avalanches, bad weather, that kind of thing.
"It's all about being prepared, being well-trained, having the right equipment, and taking the right decisions on the day.
"I don't know what happened to these poor climbers up in Glen Coe, I don't think anyone does yet, but it sounds like they were well-equipped.
"Sometimes things do just go wrong and it's a great tragedy of the mountains. But nevertheless for many thousands of people every weekend it's providing a rich and life-enhancing experience, and that's not really something you can turn away from."
Some 300 defectors and captured combatants, including many Europeans, are being held at the camp operated by the rebel group Jaysh al-Tahrir.
Its commander, Mohammad al-Ghabi, told the BBC: "We tried to rehabilitate them and alter their state of minds."
"Those who wished to return home were allowed to call their embassies and co-ordinate with them through us."
Among the group are French, Dutch and Polish nationals, as well as foreign fighters from North Africa and across the Middle East and Central Asia.
The men, women and children are being held in a village in rural northern Syria.
Mr Ghabi said the numbers were growing as IS collapsed, thanks to a Turkish-supported rebel offensive against the group in northern Syria called "Operation Euphrates Shield".
"IS has been falling apart for the past seven or eight months, according to the defectors we spoke to. However, Operation Euphrates Shield further degraded IS and led to its dismemberment following the rapid advances of our forces," he added.
A BBC team was unable to visit the camp, but obtained material from inside. It has basic facilities and the prisoners there say they are being well cared for, but many want to leave.
One former IS fighter there goes by the name of Abu Sumail.
He travelled from his native Netherlands two years ago, going first to Belgium, then to Gaziantep in Turkey. He said he disguised himself as a "party guy" on holiday, to avoid detection by the intelligence services.
But getting into Syria was much easier than leaving.
Speaking of his disappointment with life inside IS-held territory, he said: "They treat us very bad, especially people from another country.
"It's very hard for us to live there - it's not our lifestyle because we are used to a lot of things and then we come there and they directly start to treat you hard.
"You give your life to them, so they are going to start to take control of your life. They use you for bad stuff."
The BBC has also learned that an underground railroad is being created in Syria, with other rebel groups and British and European intelligence services, to find, capture and return IS supporters.
Inside the Syrian city of Raqqa, the de facto IS capital, fighters have begun to send videos and personal statements to rebel groups, in the hope of escaping with their families.
At least half a dozen foreign fighters have made it out already, and are facing imprisonment back in Europe, according to rebel groups.
Mr Ghabi said that not everyone would be allowed to leave.
"Those who didn't want to go back or had committed crimes are being referred to a Sharia court, which rules by [Islamic] law and punishes according to the gravity of crime committed."
Some could be executed, he warned, and added that the window of opportunity for defectors to cross to the rebels was closing fast, as IS continues to lose territory and its proto-state crumbles.
Efe Ambrose's first Hibs goal nudged the hosts ahead after 75 minutes.
But barely 60 seconds later, the Hibees defence were caught napping, and Craig Sibbald nodded in a corner to level.
It looked to be heading for a draw, before substitute Keatings cut in from the left and curled home a magnificent winner on his weaker right foot.
Falkirk were quick to let the Hibernian players know the type of game they were in for as early as the opening minute, when Luke Leahy clattered into Martin Boyle. The Bairns defender was lucky not to pick up a very swift booking.
Winger Boyle and defender Darren Mcgregor both had chances blocked in a frantic opening period, while referee Kevin Clancy was a busy man with Tom Taiwo and Luca Gasparotto both finding their way into his book after rash challenges.
The Bairns duo were joined in the book by the industrious Boyle, who saw yellow after reacting angrily to Gasparotto's scything down of Andrew Shinnie, and Hibs top scorer Jason Cummings, who was adjudged to have dived under the challenge of Peter Grant.
Leahy came close for the visitors with a volley from the angle of the penalty box that whistled inches over Ross Laidlaw's crossbar, before Cummings curled a 25-year free kick just wide at the other end.
As the game raged from end to end in the second half, the league leaders eventually made the breakthrough - and it came from an unlikely source.
Ambrose, deployed at right-back in place of skipper David Gray, found himself with a free header eight yards out and bulleted the ball into the back of the net. It was only the sixth goal of the Nigerian's career, and his first for the Easter Road side.
Within a minute, though, Falkirk had silenced the rapturous home crowd. The Hibs defence were caught napping when Sibbald was first to react to a corner played to the near post, and glanced his header into the bottom corner.
The game looked set to end with honours even, but Keatings had other ideas.
The former Hearts striker latched onto partner Brian Graham's knock-down on the left, and on his weaker side, arced the ball beautifully into the top-left corner of Robbie Thomson's goal.
That goal, and the three points it sealed, takes Hibs another step towards the Championship title with seven games remaining.
Hibernian head coach Neil Lennon: "It was a fitting goal. It was a great game. I thought we were very good. I thought Falkirk played as we expected, very strong. But I thought we thoroughly deserved to win it.
"We score a great goal from a set-play we have worked on, and then we have given them a goal out of nothing. The players are fit and they have a bit more about them, and we have quality as well.
"We wanted maximum points from this game and (third-placed) Morton, who we play on Wednesday."
Falkirk manager Peter Houston: "It's cruel to take. Don't take anything away from the goal, it was a quality goal. The only place the ball could go was in the top corner. So I have to give Keatings credit for the goal.
"Robbie Thomson in goal has not had an awful lot to do. It was a cracking match, both sides served up end-to-end football at times.
"We have to get back on the winning trail. We have lost the last two games, unbelievably. I don't think we deserved to lose against Morton last week and I don't think we deserved to lose today either."

The study saw hundreds of mammal fossil teeth analysed by the Universities of Southampton and Chicago.
The findings showed those with varied diets began to adapt 10 to 20 million years before the dinosaurs died out.
Researchers said it contradicted the traditional view that the extinction of dinosaurs around 66 million years ago allowed mammals to evolve and thrive.
Co-author Elis Newham, a PhD student at the University of Southampton, said: "The traditional view is that mammals were suppressed by the dinosaurs' success, and that they didn't really take off until after the dinosaurs went extinct."
But the report, published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B, said that more and more early mammal fossils, including some hoofed animal predecessors the size of dogs, had been discovered in recent years showing greater diversity than first thought.
And far from benefitting from the demise of dinosaurs, mammals also appeared to have suffered greatly from the asteroid impact which wiped out more than half of all life on Earth.
Lead author David Grossnickle, a PHD candidate at the University of Chicago, said the study was particularly relevant in light of the mass extinction the earth was currently undergoing.
He said: "The types of survivors that made it across the mass extinction 66 million years ago, mostly generalists, might be indicative of what will survive in the next hundred years, the next thousand."
Police will have to examine issues such as how long ago a detention under the Mental Health Act occurred, when assessing whether it is disclosed.
The advice covers Disclosure and Barring Service (formerly CRB) checks.
Home Office minister Karen Bradley said the guidelines aim to make the system fairer without lessening protection.
"It is important that checks provide employers with the information they need to protect children and vulnerable groups," she said.
"At the same time, police disclosure of information relating to mental ill health can have a significant impact on the lives of those concerned, including their employment opportunities."
The Home Office said the new guidance, which will be issued on Monday, states that:
Community and social care minister Alistair Burt said the changes will help prevent people being "stigmatised" as they attempt to find work or volunteering opportunities.
He said: "Having a mental illness is not a crime - your medical history wouldn't be flagged to your employer, so it's right that we make the same true for someone who's had a mental health crisis."
Paul Farmer, chief executive of mental health charity Mind, welcomed the move.
He said: "There is no reason why having a mental health problem or having been previously detained under the Mental Health Act should necessarily be a red flag when it comes to DBS checks."

Cameron Fields, 21, of Gresley Close, Leicester, stabbed Adam Bent in what police described as an unprovoked attack.
Mr Bent, also of Leicester, was attacked in Braunstone Gate on 16 July after Fields followed him out of a bar.
A 16-year-old who pleaded guilty to assisting an offender was given a 24-month detention and training order.
Leicester Crown Court heard that after the attack Mr Bent staggered into a nearby taxi officer while Fields fled the scene.
Mr Bent died later in hospital from a single stab wound to the chest.
Fields, who received a life sentence, plead guilty to murder in October.
Det Ch Insp Martin Smalley said: "A man's life was taken away from him in a moment.

The impairment charge adds to BHP's recent woes following a fatal dam collapse in Brazil and tumbling commodity prices.
Plummeting iron ore, coal, copper and other commodity prices led to a slump in earnings last year.
BHP's latest move means it has written down nearly two-thirds of its investment in US shale.
Oil prices have slumped by 70% since June 2014 to just above $30 a barrel, putting oil companies of all sizes and a number of oil exporting countries under significant financial pressure.
"Oil and gas markets have been significantly weaker than the industry expected," BHP chief executive Andrew Mackenzie said in a statement.
"Although we expect prices to improve from their current lows, we have reduced our oil price assumptions for the short to medium term. Our long-term price assumptions continue to reflect the market's attractive supply and demand fundamentals."
The company has cut operating costs and capital spending at its US onshore operations since the collapse in oil prices, reducing the number of its shale oil rigs from 26 a year ago to five now.
Oil companies large and small have been writing down the value of shale assets over the past 20 months since oil prices started crashing, and some investors expect further write-downs from BHP.
Some have also called into question the miner's policy of holding or raising its dividend at every result, and there is speculation BHP might have to cut its payouts to shareholders.
Ratings agencies Moody's and Standard & Poor's have both warned that the company's dividend policy poses a risk to its credit rating.
Otherwise it's a week of humdrum legislation, punctuated by some interesting-looking committee hearings - until we get to a crop of important private members' bills in both Lords and Commons, on the Friday.
Here's my rundown of next week's events:
The Commons opens (2.30pm) with Work and Pensions questions - and, as ever, any post weekend ministerial statements or urgent questions will usually be taken immediately after, at 3.30pm.
The day's main legislating is on the Savings (Government Contributions) Bill - this is the second reading debate on a bill to create new lifetime ISAs. These would be open to anyone under the age of 40, allowing them to save up to £4,000 a year. And for every £4 they put in the ISA, the government add a further £1. So put in £4,000 and the government will give £1,000, every year, until 50. Ministers believe it will be more flexible than the pension saving system and will be particularly helpful to the self-employed.
In Westminster Hall (4.30pm - 7.30pm) the Petitions Committee has scheduled a debate on a job lot of E-petitions on the UK's exit from the EU: petition 133618 says "the British people have spoken. We have voted to leave the EU. We want article 50 of the Lisbon treaty to be invoked immediately. We still have two years to discuss our exit from the EU, but we do not wish to delay it any further"; petition 125333 calls upon MPs to repeal the 1972 European Communities Act immediately should the EU referendum result in a Leave majority vote, thus making membership of the EU null and void, without any further interference from the government or the EU; petition 123324 says that June 23 should be designated as Independence Day, and celebrated annually; petition 154593 calls on the government not to allow freedom of movement as part of any deal with the EU after Brexit, arguing that the vast majority of those who voted leave did so because of the lack of control over immigration and free movement within Europe putting a strain on UK resources; petition 133767 asks the government not to invoke article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty, arguing that Parliament is sovereign and the government is not legally obliged to invoke the Lisbon Treaty to start an EU exit, and similarly petition 133540 says Parliament decide should whether or not we remain a member of the European Union. This will, of course be non-binding debate on one-vote-able motions.
Committee of the day is the Culture, Media and Sport session on the governance of football, with FA Chairman Greg Clarke and Director of Strategy and Robert Sullivan, (11am).
In the Lords (from 2.30pm) peers get into the meat of the Investigatory Powers Bill - report stage (day two of three) - key issues include Internet Connection Records, filtering arrangements, and oversight arrangements. The amendments come from two main sources - the government, in the shape of Earl Howe, often to put into action compromises brokered with Labour, when the bill was in the Commons, for example adding protections for "journalistic material", or from the Lib Dem team of Lord Paddick and Baroness Hamwee. The latter are mostly aimed at creating extra safeguards.
My eye was also caught by a series of amendments from the former Cabinet Secretary, Lord Butler plus Lord Janvrin and the Marquess of Lothian (the senior Conservative Michael Ancram), which would create new offences of breaching safeguards relating to examination of material under bulk interception warrants, breaching safeguards relating to examination of material, and of breaching safeguards relating to examination of data.
There will also be a short debate on tackling the rate of premature deaths among people with a learning disability led by the Crossbencher Baroness Hollins, who is a professor of the psychiatry of learning disability at St George's, University of London.
The Commons opens (11.30am) with Foreign and Commonwealth questions, followed by a Ten Minute Rule Bill from the Conservative Bill Wiggin on National Health Service Staff (Reporting and Registration), which would allow the central reporting and recording of absence from work of permanent NHS employees.
The day's main debate is on the renewal of the BBC Charter, on a government motion asking MPs to approve the draft agreement between the culture secretary the BBC.
And the adjournment debate is on the humanitarian situation in Yemen - led by Aden-born MP. Keith Vaz
In Westminster Hall (9.30am -11am ) the Labour former minister Fiona Mactaggart leads a debate on the performance of Concentrix, the US company dealing with tax credit claimants - their contract was aimed at saving the government more than £1bn in incorrect or fraudulent tax credit payments - but hundreds of people have complained they have been incorrectly penalised, and the government has said it will not be renewed.
At 11am the Conservative, John Baron has a debate on earlier cancer diagnosis and NHS finances - the All Party Parliamentary Group on Cancer have campaigned for NHS Clinical Commissioning Groups to be held accountable for their one year survival rates (ie from diagnosis) as a means of encouraging earlier diagnosis - the NHS still lags international averages by some measure.
But there is also a financial incentive because, for example, treating colon cancer at stage 1 costs around £3,000 per patient per year, whereas treatment at stage 4 costs £12,000. Mr Baron says the NHS has been poor at quantifying this and the debate is part of the APPG campaign to change this.
Committee of the day was going to be Sir John Chilcot at the Liaison Committee on follow-up to the Chilcot Report...but that has now been postponed until November.
Meanwhile, the Home Affairs hearing (11am) on the work of the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse, with its (latest) Chair, Professor Alexis Jay, will have plenty to talk about.
In the Lords (2.30pm) it's the first report stage day on the Children and Social Work Bill, which aims to improve the opportunities and outcomes for children in the care of the state. The debate will focus on clauses dealing with corporate parenting principles and children leaving care. Watch out for an important concession by the government, to head off a cross party amendment from the crossbench peer, Lord Ramsbotham, to the outsourcing of social work with vulnerable children to prevent profit-making organisations.
There will also be a short debate on the potential effect on peace and stability in Europe and around the world of the United Kingdom leaving the European Union.
The Commons begins (11.30am) with a half an hour of Welsh questions, followed at noon by Prime Minister's Question Time. The day's ten minute rule bill comes from Labour's Kevan Jones who wants to impose rules for the training, qualifications and certification of cosmetic surgery practitioners and establish a code of practice for informing patients on the options and risks of particular procedures.
Then the main debate will be on an SNP Opposition day motion, to be announced.
In Westminster Hall, the Conservative Mark Field leads a debate on alms houses and their role in housing policy (9.30am -11am) marking the debut of a new All Party Group. He aims to highlight their role in social housing sector but also the specific legislative problems they're experiencing related to planning rules, the Welfare Reform Act, the Equality Act and the Housing Bill , that do not take account of their special status.
In the afternoon (2.30pm-4pm) Labour's Stephen Twigg will lead a debate on education in Merseyside, followed (4.30pm -5.30pm) by a debate on the effect of the UK leaving the EU on agriculture and fishing in the South West - led by the Conservative, Scott Mann.
Committee of the day is the Defence Sub-Committee hearing on MoD support for former and serving personnel subject to judicial processes - the witnesses include: Sir David Calvert-Smith, a former High Court judge, and Director of Public Prosecutions, and Jeremy Wright, the Attorney General.
In the Lords (from 3pm) it's the final day of report stage consideration of the Investigatory Powers Bill - which will deal with the most controversial aspect, the bulk data surveillance powers. The Lib Dem peers are still kicking off about this issue, but Labour is expected to abstain. The debate will also cover the David Anderson report recommendations and there will be a vote on the commencement clause on the costs for hacking amendment on which the government was defeated in the previous report stage day.
There will also be a short debate on the progress the Fit for Work scheme has made in enabling those with long-term health problems like chronic pain to return to or stay in work.
The Commons meets at 9.30 am for Questions to the new Department for Exiting the European Union, prop David Davis. That is followed by the weekly Business Statement, from the Leader of the House
Then MPs turn to two debates on subjects chosen by the Backbench Business Committee. The first is on BHS: this is a joint bid by the Work and Pensions Committee Chair, Frank Field, and the BIS Chair, Iain Wright - which was requested to allow, as Mr Field put it, Parliament to vent its anger at the closure of the BHS chain, and about the failure to reach a settlement with its pensioners.
In particular, the backers of the debate wanted to focus on the conduct of the former BHS boss Sir Philip Green. Sir Philip, whose retail empire includes Top Shop, Top Man, Burton and Dorothy Perkins, was granted an honour just over a decade ago, in June 2006.
It was given "for services to retail", but his reputation as a retailer has been severely damaged over the past year. An amendment, tabled by the Conservative MP Richard Fuller and independent MP Michelle Thomson, calls for him to be stripped of his knighthood. MPs cannot themselves annul knighthoods, and it will be up to the Speaker whether or not to call the amendment to be debated. Even if there is a vote, it will not be binding but it is a way to register displeasure.
Next comes a general debate on the newly-fashionable subject of industrial strategy, following Theresa May's decision to reshape the former BIS Department into a department for industrial strategy.
In Westminster Hall (1.30pm -3pm) there will be a debate on the Education Committee's reports on the mental health and well-being of looked-after children, and on social work reform, where the select committee is pressing for the creation of a professional body to boost and enforce standards. Then there's a debate on National Arthritis Week.
In the Lords (from 11am) there will be debates on subjects chosen by Lib Dem peers. Firstly, on the implications for foreign and security policy co-operation with European states following the referendum result for the UK's withdrawal from the EU; and secondly, on the future of environmental and climate change policy in the context of Brexit.
The 2016 crop of private members' bills hits the Commons (9.30am) with the first offering from the SNP's John Nicolson, the Sexual Offences (Pardons Etc.) Bill.
This aims to offer a pardon to men convicted of gay sex offences which would not be illegal now. It will also include a "Pardon Plus" provision to allow such convictions to be expunged from the record, if the person concerned so requests.
Mr Nicholson is hoping to have enough support to force his bill to a vote, if there is any attempt to talk it out at second reading - most of his SNP colleagues will attend the debate and plenty of MPs from other parties have promised to be there, too. But he will need 100 votes to stop any filibuster.
If that bill gets past its first hurdle, the next is the Conservative Edward Argar's Registration of Marriage Bill - which aims to update the system to allow the names of mothers as well as fathers of people getting married to be included on the certificate.
Further down the agenda lurks the Labour MP Geraint Davies' Terms of Withdrawal from EU (Referendum) Bill, and Tom Brake's EU Citizens Resident in the United Kingdom (Right To Stay) Bill.
But it is highly unlikely that there will be time for much debate on those.
It's also private members' bill day in the Lords (from 10am) with some substantial legislation on offer; first up is the second reading of the Conservative, Lord Elton's House of Lords Bill, which aims to reduce the number of peers in the House of Lords in line with then number MPs...he would create a kind of "balloon debate" mechanism by which each party group would vote on who was to stay. Various incarnations of this idea have been floating around for a while.
Next will come the second reading of the Abortion (Disability Equality) Bill, proposed by the Conservative peer, Lord Shinkwin. He wants to remove the provision of the 1967 Abortion Act, which made abortion legal at any stage, where two doctors agreed "that there is a substantial risk that if the child were born it would suffer from such physical or mental abnormalities as to be seriously handicapped".
Last year, 3,213 abortions took place under the disability clause in England and Wales. Congenital malformations accounted for 1,450 of these; 689 were because of Down's syndrome.
The third bill is the Baroness Tonge's Marriage and Civil Partnership (Minimum Age) Bill which would raise the minimum age of consent to marriage or civil partnership to 18 and create an offence of causing a person under the age of 18 to enter into a marriage or civil partnership.
Falco, a black German shepherd, was taken off active duty after a Yorkshire terrier named Barbie was bitten.
Lincolnshire Police has referred both incidents to the Independent Police Complaints Commission.
Falco's licence has been removed while investigations takes place.
More on this and other stories from across Lincolnshire on our Live page
A spokesperson for the commission said: "The IPCC is investigating two complaints relating to the same Lincolnshire Police dog.
"The IPCC received two complaint referrals from the force, one relating to the dog biting a member of the public in the Moulton Marsh area on 27 February, and another incident where it is alleged to have bitten another dog near Fishtoft on 29 February."
Lincolnshire Police said Falco's operational licence had been suspended pending the outcome of any investigation.
The force said this was normal practice and "not a pre-judgement of the circumstances".
The incident involving Barbie happened on a private lane while Falco was with handler Mick Judge. The three-year-old terrier had to put down because of the extent of her injuries.
Police are yet to comment on the circumstances of the incident involving the member of the public.
Barbie's owner Charles Giermak said the attack on his dog could have been avoided if Falco had been muzzled.
The 31-year-old was stabbed during a clash in which shots were also fired in Greenwich, south-east London, in the early hours of Saturday.
One attacker had a gun while the other had a knife.
Mr Pearce from Bromley, south-east London, managed to make his way to a nearby house to ask for help but he died at the scene.
Det Insp Jo Sidaway said: "We believe that Mr Pearce was approached on King William Walk by two suspects on a moped.
"One suspect is believed to have been in possession of what appeared to be a firearm, the other a knife.
"During an altercation Danny Pearce was stabbed and a firearm was discharged."
Mr Pearce died of a stab wound, a post-mortem examination found.
Vaughan Gething said one of his priorities would be to "maintain the progress" made recently in reducing long delays for treatment.
The Welsh Government has faced consistent criticism about lengthening hospital waiting times.
The proportion of patients waiting more than nine months to start treatment has risen threefold in five years.
It has increased from 2% of patients in December 2011 to 6% of patients in December 2015.
But during three months of this year the figure dropped to 4%.
The target, however, is that no patient should wait that long.
But Mr Gething told BBC Wales that NHS Wales is likely, once again this year, to face a difficult winter as a result of increasing demand for emergency care from an ageing population.
"It's a really difficult challenge not just in Wales but in every part of the UK - I won't tell you winter won't be difficult," he said.
"But I think when you see the end of year waiting times there'll be good news for people in Wales. Part of our challenge is how to maintain the progress we've made in the second half of last year and continue to improve."
Health board still faces 'challenges'
Mr Gething went on to claim that the health service in Wales was in a better financial shape than in England.
But he confirmed that two Welsh health boards - Betsi Cadwaldr in north Wales and Hywel Dda in west Wales - had overspent during the past financial year.
Mr Gething said though that the Welsh NHS as a whole had succeeded in balancing its books.
"Within the whole [health] department we lived within our means and that's really important when you look at the comparison with England - where the internal health department in the UK government overspent and the equivalent health bodies in England significantly overspent compared to ours here."
The new health secretary also confirmed that he would like to see cross-party discussions about developing a long-term vision and strategy for NHS Wales.
As part of an agreement with Plaid Cymru, the first minister announced that he would move to establish a "parliamentary commission" to discuss the NHS's future.
Mr Gething said he hoped parties across the political divide in the Welsh Assembly would engage in that process - to inform the development of of a new 10-year health strategy.
On the EU referendum, Mr Gething dismissed claims made by those campaigning for a leave vote about the impact migration will have on the NHS's ability to cope if the UK stays within the EU.
David Davies MP claimed the Welsh NHS would need an additional £246m a year by 2030 to cope with EU migration.
But Mr Gething added: "I think the claims that have been made are outrageously misleading - deliberately designed to cause fear and anxiety and ignore the facts.
"We rely on European citizens to staff our health service - doctors, nurses and other professionals. If we took all of those out we wouldn't be able to run the service as we know it and as we want it to be."
He also said figures by the Vote Leave campaign ignored the fact that almost all EU migration were young work-active people.
"They are not net-detractors - they are net-contributors in the taxes they pay," Mr Gething added.

Warner will leave UKA after 11 years at the end of the 2017 World Championships in London, which run from 4-13 August.
In June, Warner said he was leaving athletics in "great shape".
However, Minichiello told BBC Radio 5 live: "There's nothing that's drawing people into the sport to coach."
Warner, who is co-chairman of London 2017, officially handed over his UKA role to successor Richard Bowker last month.
Minichiello said Bowker had "three years to save the sport" and that coaching should be his top priority.
Earlier in the week, Warner told BBC sports editor Dan Roan that there were "some fantastic prospects" and "great talent coming through" in athletics.
Minichiello noted that Great Britain's four individual medallists at the 2009 World Championships in Berlin - Ennis-Hill, Phillips Idowu, Lisa Dobriskey and Jenny Meadows - all had British coaches.
Britain also had four individual medallists at Beijing 2015 but only Ennis-Hill was coached by a compatriot. Mo Farah, Greg Rutherford and Shara Proctor are coached by Americans Alberto Salazar, Dan Pfaff and Rana Reider respectively.
"I sat with Ed Warner in a hotel in Berlin and he said to me 'Britain only has two world-class coaches, what are we going to do?'" said Minichello.
"If you recognise that, what are you going to do about it? And the bottom line is: nothing.
"He didn't employ more coaches, didn't push the education process, didn't professionalise coaching so that he'd leave a legacy of coaches out there doing work, employed in clubs - he didn't take the opportunity, yet he spotted it in 2009.
"And as he's going out the door some eight or nine years later, he's got an OBE for services to athletics and he's suggesting that the sport is in a better place - I disagree."
After Ennis-Hill won Olympic heptathlon gold at London 2012, Minichiello said he was made redundant because he was "not seen as value for money" in coaching only one athlete "regardless of whether she was a medallist or not".
Minichiello was then paid as a consultant leading into the 2016 Games in Rio, where Ennis-Hill won silver, after which the consultancy ended, with Ennis-Hill retiring in October last year.
"Most of the coaches out there are there are volunteers or they've got jobs doing football sprinting, working with rugby clubs or football clubs or working a nine-to-five job," said Minichiello.
UKA says it has 25 individuals in coaching roles on a mixture of employment and consultancy contracts and does not disclose salaries.
England Athletics does not directly provide coaching to athletes and relies on volunteers, but says it provides support and development to coaches, including tutors who "deliver the courses that lead to UKA qualifications".
It added it has 160,000 athletes registered from 1,300 affiliated clubs and organisations and that its 21,000 leaders and coaches - up 9% from last year - "provide a tremendous service".
"There's a point where you have to flip over and think, if the athlete's full time, the coach needs to be full time," said Minichiello.
"Most people are looking for full-time professional coaches who can give them time, and are actually of a quality.
UKA will receive total funding of £27m for the Rio-Tokyo Olympic cycle, which Minichiello says is "for the performance end of the sport" and is not concerned with younger athletes.
"The gap has grown so massively between what happens at club level - which is everybody's first experience of our sport - and what happens at the top end," he said.
He also cited an example of a crowd of three people at the Premier League of British Athletics in Sheffield being asked to help out running the long jump competition.
He said: "Can you imagine: 'Sir Alex Ferguson, can you come out of the stand mate, and hold this hanky and run up the line?' You wouldn't find that in any other sport and this is the top flight of athletics."
Minichiello added he was wary that the success of the 2012 London Olympics and Paralympics would gloss over the problems he sees in coaching.
"This is part of Ed Warner's legacy, but it's ignored because we're looking at the grandiose Olympic Stadium, we're looking at the Paras, we're looking at all these tickets sold," he said.
"But you've also got very few tickets sold for the National Championships, you've got a lack of officials, a lack of quality happening at the Premier League."
Warner told the BBC's Dan Roan: "There's something very different between the trials and championship themselves - let's face it we have had over a million tickets to sell this summer to British athletics fans across all of our events.
"I can understand why some fans might choose to want to come here to the Olympic Stadium rather than the warm up of the trials, so I think this is what the sport needs to be judged on and will come through with flying colours."

Dancers aged 11-15 from across the UK, are invited to send a video of their best moves, for the opportunity to audition.
If you're interested, and want to find out more, all the information is available here.
Blue Peter's Lindsey gave us the details...
Maidenhead Golf Club has agreed to give up its 24-year lease of the council-owned 130-acre (52-hectare) site early - paving the way for development.
Club president Ron Stuart said members voted unanimously in favour of the deal but admitted there had been "a lot of sadness and frustration."
He said they had been offered £16.25m to vacate the site within three years.
Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead Council said it planned to enter into a joint partnership to develop the site which would include 30% affordable housing for local people, as well as new schools, health facilities and road improvements.
Mr Stuart said the cash offered by the council to leave the site would enable it to relocate, either by purchasing or building, "without any problems whatsoever".
"We have opened initial talks with one or two locations and we'll just have to wait for the next eight months before we can finalise anything," he added.
Prior to the deal Mr Stuart said emotions at the club had "run very high".
"There's a lot of sadness and frustration - people are unhappy - but there's an overwhelming sense of reality.
"We are in a location where we were always going to be vulnerable to building projects."
He added: "In a way we now have a second life and we can move on."
The Department for Education published recommendations for the settlement in England, within the 1% pay limit agreed by ministers in 2012.
The deal means schools will be able to award the most deserving teachers more, but only out of existing budgets.
But teaching unions said as there was no extra money, many teachers would not get the standard 1% rise at all.
In its submission to government, the School Teachers Review Body said evidence presented to it confirmed the need for a pay rise to support the competitiveness of the profession.
It said its recommendations had been made amid a "challenging climate for schools, with tight budgets, demographics driving up pupil numbers and an increasingly competitive graduate labour market".
Christine Blower, general secretary of the NUT, said: "The STRB has acknowledged the NUT's concerns about teacher supply.
"It told the government very clearly that schools are having problems recruiting NQTs [newly qualified teachers] and experienced teachers alike.
"The STRB also sent a clear signal that it would have increased teachers' pay by more, if the government were willing to fund it."
She added: "The government's decision to freeze school funding means that even a 1% pay increase this year will lead to cuts elsewhere in schools - but its decision to allow schools to decide whether teachers get any increase means that many teachers may not even get 1%.
"The government has to reconsider its policy of cutting funding to schools.
"Schools need more funding and teachers' pay needs to rise.
"Otherwise, we simply won't have enough teachers to cope with growing pupil numbers."
Christine Keates, head of the NASUWT teaching union, said: "Whilst the review body may be acting with the best of intentions in seeking to introduce the opportunity for some teachers to receive up to 2%, unfortunately, this is still within the Treasury pay cap and takes no account of the fact that, thanks to the coalition government's changes to the pay structure, schools can use their pay flexibilities to seek to avoid paying teachers any award at all.
"Thousands of teachers face the prospect of being denied even the meagre cost-of-living award the review body is recommending."
She added: "A survey of NASUWT members found that by December 2014, 51% of teachers had not received the 1% cost-of-living increase last year, which should have been paid in September.
"The profession is already in the grip of a recruitment and retention crisis due to the coalition's relentless attacks on pay, pensions and working conditions.
"Today's announcement will do nothing to address this."
The exact pay of teachers in the maintained sector is set by schools but within nationally agreed levels.
Teachers received a 1% 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 2015-2016.
Telford, who is part of England's squad for the upcoming European Championships in July, had been without a club since Notts County folded on 21 April.
The 29-year-old previously played for Chelsea between 2011 and 2013.
Telford will stay with Chelsea for the remainder of the Spring Series, with fellow Blues keepers Hedvig Lindahl and Becky Spencer recovering from injuries.
Former Notts County players were given permission to find other clubs, even though the English transfer window is closed, after they went into liquidation.
"With the injury to Hedvig and Becky recovering from surgery, the opportunity to bring an experienced goalkeeper like Carly in for the Spring Series made perfect sense," manager Emma Hayes said.
"She is a player I know well and there is no doubting her quality. What she will add to the team both on and off the pitch is huge."
EE, O2, Three and Vodafone have agreed to invest £5bn and guarantee coverage across 90% of the UK by 2017.
The move should reduce the number of "not-spots", areas of patchy coverage.
The firms had rejected the government's preferred option of a system allowing customers of one network to use another if their supplier wasn't available.
"I am pleased to have secured a legally binding deal with the four mobile networks," said Culture Secretary Sajid Javid.
"Too many parts of the UK regularly suffer from poor mobile coverage leaving them unable to make calls or send texts," he said.
The agreement should reduce total "not-spots", where there is no mobile coverage, by two-thirds, the government said.
Partial "not-spots", areas where there is some coverage but not from all four networks, should be reduced by half, and full coverage from all four operators will increase by 69% to 85% by 2017.
Telecoms regulator Ofcom will enforce the deal.
Olaf Swantee, chief executive of EE, said: "This agreement ensures that our customers are able to stay connected in even more places up and down the country."
A Vodafone UK spokesman said it supported the government's objective of delivering better coverage to rural areas including partial not-spots.
"The voluntary industry commitment we have agreed with the government today will deliver 90% of the UK's land mass with voice services and a major improvement in mobile internet coverage as well.
"It is a great result for UK consumers and businesses and it will make the UK a leader across Europe in terms of the reach of mobile coverage," the spokesman said.
No cash payments will be made by the government to the mobile networks as part of the agreement.
The Weymouth Port Health Authority (WPHA) has taken samples of scallops from Lulworth Banks and Lyme Bay.
It said the scallops still had amnesic shellfish poisoning levels above the legal limit they can be sold having.
However, the WPHA said samples of shucked scallops - the muscle and roe of the scallop - had safe toxin levels.
The authority said shucking needed to be done in approved processing establishments to prevent cross-contamination.
Restaurants have been warned against shucking scallops themselves because of the danger of contaminating food preparation surfaces.
Amnesic shellfish poisoning (ASP) can cause neurological symptoms, such as dizziness and confusion, and in "very rare cases" death.
It is stored in the digestive systems of scallops.
The presence of ASP toxin follows the growth of an "algal bloom" in the English Channel.
Casual gatherers of clams, oysters, mussels and scallops off the Dorset coast have also been warned the shellfish could contain toxins from the May bloom.
However, the WPHA said scallops were the species of concern because they were good at picking up the toxin but poor at excreting it.
In May, Portland Harbour closed to the gathering of filter-feeding molluscs after tests showed ASP in the algae.
Alina, 41, and 11-year-old Emilia Kordaszewski died in the fire in South Street, Braintree, on Wednesday.
Rafal Kordaszewski paid tribute to his wife of 20 years and daughter and said they were "very much loved".
Essex Fire Service said the candle was in the lounge on the ground floor. A spokesman urged "everyone to take extra care when using candles".
He added: "It is also vital you do not leave any candles unattended and they are fully extinguished before you leave the room."
A crowdfunding page has raised nearly £20,000 for the family in two days.
Mr Kordaszewski said he was "overwhelmed" by the generosity of friends and the community.
He added: "We would like to thank everyone for their support and everything they have done for us.
"We have had so much support from our friends and the community, we are overwhelmed by their generosity.
"Friends have also brought us clothes and food and have helped us with housing."
The blaze broke out at about 22:30 GMT on Wednesday, trapping the pair inside.
Post-mortem examinations gave a provisional cause of death as smoke inhalation.
Acting chief fire officer, Adam Eckley said: "This is a tragic incident, and to fall so close to Christmas has made it even more heart-breaking."
Friends of Mrs Kordaszewska's eldest daughter, Milena, who survived the fire, set up the fundraising page which has smashed its original target of £5,000.
Sophie King, who set up the appeal, wrote: "The sole purpose of this page is to help financially towards them rebuilding their lives and not having to worry financially about finding accommodation and eating.
"Please contribute anything that you can and let's hope that as a community we can make our love and support heard for Milena and her family."
Milena is thought to have escaped the blaze along with her aunt. Dozens of floral tributes have been left outside the family home.
More than 100 people gathered at the town's Catholic church on Thursday night for a special mass in their memory.
They used a ladder and net to catch the animal which was unable to swim to safety due to fast flowing water north of Edzell.
A concerned member of the public had contacted the Scottish SPCA after spotting it on the river.
The ferret is currently being cared for at the charity's rescue and rehoming centre at Petterden.
Animal Rescue Officer Coreen Hill said: "The ferret had been seen for three days prior to us being called out on 1 September.
"At that time the ferret had been sun bathing and the area had a slight rock formation where he had been sleeping and looked to be under no stress.
"Since they can swim I decided to check back in the morning and assess the situation.
When Coreen returned on 2 September the rock was surrounded by very fast flowing water.
She then asked colleague Ben Soutar to help her rescue the ferret.
She added: "By the time I returned with Ben the ferret had woken up and was furiously trying to escape from the rock, but was unable to do so due to the fast flowing water.
"We placed a ladder over the rocks and my colleague stretched over to try and encourage the ferret to pop into the net.
"After much persuasion the ferret hopped into the net and was moved to safety. He was very happy to be rescued and taken to our centre in Petterden for much needed food and sleep.
"We will look after him until we can discover his original owner or find him a loving new home."
They were aged between 18 and 50.
Family and friends have been paying tribute and sharing their stories.
Juan Ramon Guerrero, 22, and his 32-year-old boyfriend Christopher Andrew Leinonen had been together for two years and were planning to get married, according to family members.
Now, they will have a joint funeral, Time magazine reports.
Mr Guerrero worked as a telemarketer and had recently started college at the University of Central Florida. He died at a local hospital on Sunday.
His cousin, Robert Guerrero, said he had been an "amazing person", more likely to stay at home to care for his nieces and nephews than to go out partying.
Mr Leinonen, known was "Drew", was confirmed dead on Monday.
He was an LGBT campaigner from high school and won an Anne Frank Humanitarian Award for his work, his mother Christine Leinonen said.
Grieving mother begs for gun law change
The 30-year-old sent his mother a series of desperate text messages while inside the club.
One of his cousins, Millie Ortiz, said he could "walk in and the room would light up".
She said he had been a "gentle soul" who would "give you the shirt off his back" and was "very upfront and outspoken and lived life to the fullest without any regrets".
'I'm gonna die': Victim's texts to mother as gunman came
The 25-year-old is reported to have posted a video from inside Pulse in which gunfire from the attack is audible.
The Snapchat clips show Ms Alvear with her friends before the sound of gunfire begins.
Paying tribute, family members told the Orlando Sentinel that she loved fashion and had infectious enthusiasm.
"People got caught in her wake," her brother Brian Alvear said. "Whatever she was doing, that's what they were going to do and have fun doing it."
He told the newspaper she went to gay and lesbian clubs because they were fun and she felt able to be herself there.
"She wouldn't want anyone to spread hate for her," he said. "She'd rather they spread more love."
New footage shows moment of the attack
Ms Flores, 26, was with Ms Alvear at Pulse, reports said. She worked in retail and was originally from New York, according to her Facebook profile.
The 22-year-old worked on the Harry Potter ride at Universal Studios, according to author JK Rowling, who paid tribute to him on her Twitter account.
Friends told the Orlando Sentinel Mr Vielma had been a "true friend" who had hoped to become an emergency medical technician.
One, Olga Glomba, described him as "a funny, sweet, nerdy guy without a mean side. He just wanted to make people smile".
The pharmacy technician, 23, from Clermont, near Orlando, had posted a Snapchat video of himself singing and dancing in the nightclub moments before he was killed.
His mother Rosalie Ramos told the Orlando Sentinel newspaper she wished she had the video to "remember him forever". Videos on the social media platform delete automatically after being watched.
Mr Almodovar's Aunt Yoly said a young woman who was with him in Pulse had told her he had come out of the toilets during gunfire and had pushed people out of the way of the bullets.
A friend, Hazel Ramirez, described Mr Almodovar as "kind, but sassy", someone who was comfortable with his own sexual identity.
"He was so proud of who he was," she told the Washington Post newspaper. "He would do his makeup better than anyone else. It was so easy to be myself with him."
At 20 years of age, Luis Omar Ocasio-Capo was among the youngest victims.
He described himself as a dancer on his Facebook account and had added a red, white and blue filter to his profile photo after the terror attacks in Paris last November.
A former teacher described him as a "ray of sunshine", the Daily Beast reports.
The 34-year-old was a brand manager at a gay travel company. He lived in Sarasota, Florida, and was described by his cousin as a caring and energetic man who often travelled to promote his company's events.
"He was just always part of the fun," David Sotomayor said.
He had gone to the club with his partner, who was outside, putting something in a car, when the attack started, his boss Al Ferguson told Reuters news agency.
The partner got a text from Mr Sotomayor saying he was safe in the toilet and telling him not to come back into the club.
Some 20 minutes later he sent another message, saying he was OK. That was the last time his partner heard from him, Mr Ferguson was quoted as saying.
Originally from Puerto Rico, the 36-year-old had moved to Florida for a better life and was working as a merchandise manager.
He was said by a former housemate to have "sacrificed himself a lot for his family".
"Eric was always willing to help everybody," Abismel Colon Gomez told the Orlando Sentinel. "He loved his brother and he was always being generous."
Originally from South Africa, the 22-year-old who was also known as Peter Ommy, had worked for logistics company UPS in Orlando after graduating from high school in New Jersey.
His cousins paid tribute to him on social media. One wrote "Rest in peace to my wonderful cousin". Another said "May you rest easy in Heaven".
The 35-year-old was at Pulse with his boyfriend, Luis Daniel Wilson-Leon, who was also killed, according to My pulse still beats, a page set up on Facebook paying tribute to the victims.
When the 37-year-old moved from Puerto Rico to Florida he could barely speak English, a cousin told the Associated Press news agency. He had met Mr Perez at the perfume shop where his partner used to work.
Both are said to have been regular visitors to Pulse.
The 37-year-old had worked at Pulse as a bouncer. She had only recently moved to Florida from Hawaii to help take care of her mother and grandmother.
Friends paid tribute to her.
"She was the most loving person," one friend told the Honolulu Star Advertiser.
"She never had a bad thing to say about anyone. If you came to her after a bad day, she'd find some way to cheer you up."
Ms Morris had also previously lived in Northampton, Massachusetts, where she worked at the gay club Divas as a drag performer and bouncer.
"We will always remember her smile and her amazing way she lit up the stage in her performances," the club said on its Facebook page.
The 25-year-old had recently found a job as a leasing agent for an Orlando apartment complex, friends said.
Mr Fernandez was reportedly dating Xavier Emmanuel Serrano Rosado, also killed in the attack.
The 35-year-old worked for Disney Live! and was the father of a young boy, according to a Facebook page in his memory.
The 50-year-old was a professional Puerto Rican folk dancer who had travelled the world through his work, Orlando Weekly reports.
He was with at least two friends at Pulse, a female friend told the publication. They told her they had thought the sound of shooting was part of the music until they saw people fall down. They tried to grab Mr Velazquez but he and others were pushed up against a wall by the gunman, who then began shooting at the group.
The 33-year-old was a biologics assistant at the OneBlood donation centre. According to a Facebook page remembering him, he used to live in Kissimmee, Florida.
The 28-year-old from Porto Rico worked as an ophthalmic technician at the Florida Retina Institute, according to his Facebook page.
The Orlando Sentinel reports that he started at the job just days before the attack.
Friends said the 25-year-old from Statesville, North Carolina, was a hard worker, and his Facebook profile carried many posts about entrepreneurship and motivation.
His Facebook page says he studied health care management at Ana G Mendez University's Orlando campus. The 25-year-old was from Puerto Rico.
Friends of the 40-year-old said he was a "good friend" with a "beautiful soul" on his Facebook page, in which he used the English translation of his name. He was from Puerto Rico and worked at Gucci.
The 25-year-old lived in New York and had gone to Orlando to celebrate a friend's birthday, the Orlando Sentinel says.
His Facebook profile says he was a social worker and shows tributes from friends who describe him as a "happy" and funny person.

The online payment firm formally separated from parent company eBay on Friday, 10 months after the move was first announced.
Analysts said the split had enabled investors to evaluate the two companies' growth prospects separately.
Shares in PayPayl rose 6.5%, or $2.51, to $40.90 in New York.
Paypal's revenues rose 16% in the second quarter - more than double eBay's 7% increase in the same period.
The separation will give Paypal the freedom to work with other potential partners, such as marketplaces like Amazon or Alibaba and increase its market share.
Paypal chief executive Dan Schulman said its status as an independent company was a "tremendous opportunity".
"We are focused on leveraging our strengths to drive long-term growth for our company and shareholders," he said.
JP Morgan analysts described Paypal as a "gorilla" in the online payments marketplace and said its "global scale and brand recognition" would help its growth.
However, this may not translate easily into new areas.
"User engagement is changing, and the competitive advantages PayPal enjoyed in the traditional online commerce channel do not necessarily carry over into the mobile and offline worlds, in our view," JP Morgan added.
MCH analyst, James Cakmak said Paypal was now the only truly independent player in the digital online marketplace.
"It would take a lot of time and a lot of resources for any rival to catch up," he said. But he said it was unlikely that the shares would continue to increase due to the already "very robust growth outlook" factored into the share price.
PayPal, which was founded by a group of investors including venture capitalist Peter Thiel and Tesla Motors boss Elon Musk in 1998, first listed on Nasdaq in 2002 and was bought later that year by eBay.
The decision to split the two companies came after activist investor Carl Icahn last year pushed for the separation - a move initially resisted by eBay.
EBay chief executive John Donahoe subsequently said a "thorough strategic review" had shown the board that keeping the two companies together was becoming "less advantageous to each business strategically and competitively".
The two businesses will continue to have some links, with eBay agreeing not to reduce the volume of transactions it puts through PayPal for the next five years.
The Liverpool Echo reported that changes were made to Wikipedia entries about the tragedy.
Comments were posted from computers on Whitehall's secure intranet, it said.
The Cabinet Office said the claims were being treated with "the utmost seriousness".
"We thank the Liverpool Echo for bringing this to our attention," a spokesman said.
"No-one should be in any doubt of the government's position regarding the Hillsborough disaster and its support for the families of the 96 victims and all those affected by the tragedy."
In one of the changes, the Liverpool anthem You'll Never Walk Alone was changed to You'll Never Walk Again, the newspaper said.
Steve Kelly, who lost his 38-year-old brother Michael at Hillsborough, said: "After all these years it's disgusting that people are still trying to put the knife into the families - we're good people.
"We've tried to maintain our dignity and people are still doing this sort of thing."
Sheila Coleman, spokeswoman for the Hillsborough Justice Campaign, said the group would be talking to its legal team about "how to proceed".
"Clearly we'll be calling for an inquiry - we'll expect those responsible to be identified and appropriate action taken," she added.
Entries in Wikipedia, an online encyclopaedia, can be edited by anyone with access to the internet.
The computer used to make those changes can be traced using a computer's unique IP address.
Oliver Duggan, the Liverpool Echo reporter who broke the story, said the paper used a list of 34 IP addresses for Whitehall computers, released in 2008 by Angela Eagle MP following a parliamentary question.
"In this instance we were able to match up the IP address used to edit the Hillsborough Wikipedia page between 2009 and 2012 with the Whitehall secure intranet," he said.
Jon Davies, chief executive of Wikimedia UK, said it was "appalled by such vandalism" and that it had systems in place to deal with such incidents.
"In this case, none of the offensive comments were up for more than a couple of hours, and most were removed in a few minutes," he said.
The Liverpool football fans died after a crush at the FA Cup semi-final in April 1989.
New inquests, set to last a year, were ordered after new evidence revealed by the Hillsborough Independent Panel led to the original inquest verdicts being quashed.
Freedom of Information figures suggest hate crimes increased by 20% last year, to more than 60,000 - yet police referrals to prosecutors fell by 1,379.
Experts say hate crimes are now at a more "predictable" level since a spike was reported around the EU referendum.
The Home Office said it had published a new action plan to boost reporting.
However, concerns remain that prosecutions in England and Wales have failed to keep pace with increasing reports over the past two years.
Data obtained by the Bureau of Investigative Journalism from 40 of 43 police forces in England and Wales suggested reported hate crimes had increased by 20% last year, from 50,288 reports in 2014/15 to 60,225 in 2015/16.
According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS) Crime Survey for England and Wales there were about 52,000 in 2014/15. The crime survey has not published its figures for 2015/16.
Based on responses to the survey, the ONS suggested there was actually an estimated 222,000 hate crimes per year.
But the CPS hate crime report showed the number of racially aggravated and homophobic hate crimes referred by the police to prosecutors in 2014/15 was 14,376. That number decreased by 9.6%, to 12,997, in 2015/16.
The UK saw a spike in reported hate crimes before and after the EU referendum on 23 June - when the UK voted to leave the European Union.
Abuse peaked on 25 June - the day after the result was announced - when 289 hate crimes and incidents were reported across England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
A further 3,001 reports of hate crimes were made to police between 1 and 14 July - more than 200 a day.
Figures for the past three weeks will be published on Monday.
However, True Vision - the joint police and Home Office hate-crime reporting portal - told 5 Live Investigates that recorded levels of hate crime are now similar to the levels seen in 2015.
Dr Leander Neckles, from the Race Equality Foundation think tank, said: "These figures are saying you have a one in four chance if you report hate crime of someone being prosecuted."
New Home Office guidance is due to be issued to prosecutors on racially and religiously aggravated offences to encourage tougher sentences in hate crime cases and to boost reporting rates.
However, Dr Neckles suggested it did not take a tough enough line.
"It does not analyse why we're in the position we're in and it doesn't analyse what has worked and what hasn't worked in the past.
"It doesn't give a proper prescription for moving forward nor does it address the fact that race hate crime forms more than 80% of the hate crime reported to police."
She suggested pressure on police resources could be one reason for under-recording by forces.
Paul Giannasi, from the National Police Chief's Council - which represents forces in England, Wales and Northern Ireland - admitted forces still had a long way to go in terms of recording and investigating hate crime.
He said the gap could be the result of poor recording or because hate crime victims had not described their assault as a hate offence when they first spoke to police.
"We will continue to examine that data to make sure if there is a shortfall in the police response to it then we will address that," he said.
"No victim should face hate crime and not have the protection of the criminal justice system."
Home Office minister Sarah Newton told 5 Live Investigates a new hate-crime action plan - which was published in July - would boost the reporting of offences and support victims.
"The government is absolutely committed to stamping out hate crime and making sure Britain is a country that works for everyone," she said.
"There is no place in this country for hatred targeted against any race, religion or community."
Donald confirmed Hill will take permanent charge of the Spitfires for a second time after a turbulent season which saw three changes in management.
Former Gillingham boss Hessenthaler will be Hill's assistant.
"We should be achieving much more than we have this year for the money we've been spending," Donald said.
The National League side parted company with Chris Todd, Ronnie Moore and Martin Allen this season as they finished a disappointing 15th.
Hill returned as director of football and caretaker manager in February.
"Since Richard left the first time, I've given other managers more money to spend on the squad than he had," Donald told BBC Radio Solent.
"I'm hoping that if we can give him a little bit of that extra money, we will do a lot better. But, Richard and Andy have got to spend the money right over the summer."
Midfielder Ben Strevens will continue on Eastleigh's coaching team alongside Paul Reid on the scouting side.
The three pilots were among a group of eight who fled to northern Greece by helicopter and sought political asylum.
They intend to appeal, their lawyers said.
Tuesday's ruling came a day after the same appeals court rejected extradition requests for three of the eight Turkish officers.
The BBC's Kostas Kallergis in Athens said the latest ruling puzzled many in court, following Monday's decision.
The remaining two officers are due to appear in court on Thursday.
At Tuesday's hearing, the court rejected extradition for the alleged offence of trying to assassinate the Turkish president, but accepted the requests for charges of trying to dissolve the republic; attempting to dissolve the constitution and for taking the helicopter.
The pilots deny involvement in the coup and say they will not receive a fair trial in Turkey.
In the wake of the coup attempt, tens of thousands of people from every level of Turkish society have been purged from their jobs, including military officers, government officials and schoolteachers.
Critics of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan say he has used the failed uprising as a way of removing his opponents and tightening his hold on power.
The farmhouse has been renovated - along with the Black Chair - awarded at the National Eisteddfod a few weeks after the bard's death in July 1917.
He was killed on the first day of the Battle of Passchendaele in Belgium.
A new exhibition and visitors' centre has also been built, and marks the impact of the war on the community.
"We are using Hedd Wyn as a hook really, to be able to tell all those wider stories," explained Sian Griffiths, who is managing the project for the Snowdonia National Park Authority.
"The story of the war, the First World War and its effect; about the culture, the language, the community, and how people lived at that time.
"So when people come to Yr Ysgwrn, they really do get a feel of how people used to live.
"It's a very different world now to what it was 100 years ago - we are taking people back in time a little bit and helping them understand how that community lived at that time."
Hedd Wyn was the bardic name of Ellis Humphrey Evans.
He was 30-years-old when he died on the first day of the big push in what became the Third Battle of Ypres, as part of the 15th Battalion Royal Welsh Fusiliers tasked with capturing Pilckem Ridge.
But he was injured half way across, and died at a first aid post on 31 July, 1917. However, his story lives on.
In September 1917, the National Eisteddfod was being held at Birkenhead on Merseyside.
As today, the greatest prize and honour is to win the eisteddfod chair for poetry.
In 1917, it was for the poem 'Yr Arwr' - 'The Hero'.
When the winner's named was called out in the pavilion, there was no answer.
Instead, the chair was draped in a black cloth, witnessed from the stage by the then prime minister and war-time leader David Lloyd George.
"No words can adequately describe the wave of emotion that swept over the vast audience when the chair was draped with the symbols of mourning," the Cambrian News and Merionethshire Standard newspaper reported at the time.
The project to restore Yr Ysgwrn has seen the farmhouse itself completely gutted, with furniture removed, restored and replaced, to show just how it would have appeared during the time of Hedd Wyn.
It even included taking samples of old wallpaper hidden under layer after layer of decorating, and having a new replica made to cover the kitchen walls.
Upstairs, visitors can see the other bardic chairs won by the poet before his death, while in the parlour - pride of place - the Black Chair.
After a decade in a dark and cold farmhouse, heated only by the kitchen fire, the chair had become fragile and damaged. It has taken more than a year to be restored by expert Hugh Haley in Carmarthen.
"Some bits of the chair had fallen off over the years and they needed to be restored and put back," said Ms Griffiths.
"It does look really, really nice."
A former barn, the Beudy Llwyd, has been transformed into a visitors' centre, exhibition area and cafe funded by the park authority and Heritage Lottery Fund since it was acquired in 2012.
Another farm building, the Beudy Ty, is home to a display that marks the memory of every single solider from the area killed in the Great War, and provides a place for quiet reflection.
The farm itself remains home to the man responsible for keeping the memory of Hedd Wyn alive - his nephew Gerald Williams.
He has kept the door open to the farmhouse and the Black Chair since 1954.
Now 88-years-old, he is delighted to see both the house and the chair returned to their former glory.
"They've brought the furniture back now and it looks more like it used to be in the old days," he says.
"Before it was very bare and I didn't like it, because I'd seen it full of life. It looks a lot better. It will bring life back.
"Hedd Wyn was representing, not himself, but all the young men from the area and all the young men from Wales in a way. He was an icon.
"I am very happy to see it all coming back."
Yr Ysgwrn will be reopening to the public on 6 June, though park officials said they had already had several large bookings, and urged visitors to check availability in advance.
Witnesses said at least two missiles hit a busy market in the Mustaba district of Hajja province at midday.
Video footage purportedly of the aftermath showed what appeared to be the bodies of several children.
Hajja is controlled by Houthi rebels, who the coalition is battling on behalf of Yemen's government.
More than 6,200 people, half of them civilians, have been killed since the coalition launched a military campaign to defeat the rebels at the end of March 2015, according to the UN.
Last month, two-thirds of the 168 civilian deaths were attributed to air strikes.
"The scene was terrifying," witness Showei Hamoud told the Associated Press by telephone after Tuesday's attack. "Blood and body parts everywhere."
"People collected the torn limbs in bags and blankets," he said, adding that many of the dead were children who worked at market stalls or carried goods.
The international medical charity, Medicins Sans Frontieres (MSF), initially said in a series of tweets that it had received 40 injured civilians at its Abs hospital, among them women and children.
But a doctor at the hospital later told the AFP news agency that it had received the bodies of 41 people, along with 35 others who were wounded.
The director of the Hajja health department, Dr Ayman Mathkour, also told the Reuters news agency that the death toll stood at 41.
The pro-Houthi Saba news agency reported that a total of 65 civilians had died in raids on the market and a nearby restaurant.
There was no immediate comment from the Saudi-led coalition.
In January, a UN panel found that coalition air strikes had targeted civilians in Yemen and assessed that some attacks might constitute crimes against humanity.

The midfielder has extensive experience of playing in Spain, having previously turned out for Granada, Las Palmas, Espanyol, Villareal and Elche.
Wakaso has played for the Black Stars since 2012 and played five matches at this year's Africa Cup of Nations.

Alaves finished in La Liga last season.
Pte Gavin Williams, 22, from Hengoed, Caerphilly county, suffered heart failure at Lucknow Barracks in Tidworth, Wiltshire, on 3 July 2006.
He had been punished for disobedience and drunken incidents.
A captain at the time said he raised issues about another physical punishment a month before.
Owain Luke, now a lieutenant colonel, told the inquest in Salisbury, Wiltshire, that while Sgt Russell Price was involved in both incidents, it was "more akin to bullying" than reflective of wider treatment.
Lt Col Luke said he raised concerns with Adjutant Capt Mark Davis, the officer in charge of discipline.
He said he told the captain "two of my soldiers had been mistreated by provost staff or PTIs (Physical Training Instructor) and that this is wrong and he should look into it".
It was the only such incident he had been aware of before, Col Luke said.
His soldiers, he added, had been ordered by Sgt Price to carry out a physical punishment which resulted in their civilian clothes being ruined.
The coroner's court previously heard that Sgt Price ordered Pte Williams to carry out intensive exercise in a gym on one of the hottest days of the year.
Pte Williams collapsed with heatstroke and later suffered heart failure after the punishment. Ecstasy was found in his blood when he died in hospital.
Lt Col Luke said he got the impression Capt Davis felt physical punishment was appropriate "under some circumstances".
He added: "It's easy to see now that it might be part of a wider treatment, but I didn't see it like that at the time."
Sgt Price's line manager, Maj Lee Davies, said he knew nothing about beastings being carried out.
The coroner's court heard Sgt Price had previously told police investigating Pte Williams's death that "everyone knew that it went on" and "physical discipline was never done in a discrete manner".
In a statement to officers, he added: "The adjutant and the RSM (regimental sergeant major) never asked me to stop."
Maj Davies said he felt Sgt Price was still in an "old mentality" before Army rules on discipline changed in 2005, but he had made it clear when he took up his role in 2006 there should be no physical punishments.
"He's right, I didn't tell him to stop, but I didn't know he was doing it."
The first minister said he wanted to avoid Wales being seen as "some sort of annexe to England".
Wales and England both voted to leave the EU, while majorities in Scotland and Northern Ireland voted to stay.
The discrepancy has led to calls for a fresh referendum on independence in Scotland.
In other developments:
Mr Jones told the BBC's Newyddion 9: "The last thing we want is to be considered some sort of annexe to England.
"We don't have to have independence - there is a way to ensure there is some sort of federation, or some sort of agreement.
"That doesn't mean you have to have independence."
But Mr Jones rejected calls from Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood for Wales to become an independent state within the EU, saying the people of Wales had voted to leave the union.
The first minister has floated the idea of a federal UK in the past, notably in a speech in October 2014 where he said: "Enabling unity while guaranteeing diversity is precisely the challenge we face.
"In other words, striking the best balance between national citizenship and local flexibility. Federal thinking gives us a new starting point to challenge the way we habitually view the state."
Captain Danny Kirmond, 30, was also in the car and received cuts to his arms and legs, according to police.
The trio were kept in hospital overnight after the single-vehicle collision happened at 15:46 BST on Black Road in Wakefield.
The club said further information would be released "as and when appropriate".
Wakefield have no fixture this weekend because of the Challenge Cup final and are next in action at Castleford on Friday, 2 September.
Police are appealing for any witnesses to the incident to phone 101.
A club statement said: "Wakefield are aware of a road traffic accident that occurred at approximately 4pm in the Heath Common area yesterday.
"Three players, Chris Annakin, Danny Kirmond and Richard Owen were involved in the accident, and all remained overnight in hospital with various injuries, although none are life-threatening.
"Police and ambulance staff attended the scene, and the club are liaising with them to ascertain exactly what occurred. We hope everyone will wish the players a speedy recovery and respect their privacy at this time.
"There will be further information released as and when appropriate."
The 25-year-old made 32 appearances for Burton last season and earned his first Northern Ireland cap against New Zealand on 2 June.
"We are disappointed with his decision," said manager Nigel Clough.
"But, more than that, by the way things have been conducted by the player and agent over the last couple of months."
Flanagan joined Burton in 2015 on a free transfer from MK Dons and helped the club to promotion to the Championship in his first campaign.
"He had an offer shortly after the end of the season and it has dragged on since then," continued Clough.
"Although his agent has had some unfortunate problems to deal with, it wouldn't have gone amiss to keep us informed.
"Eventually, we had everything agreed and Tom was due to sign today (Wednesday) and we got a call when all the paperwork was done saying he wasn't signing.
"That, coming the day before pre-season starts, leaves an unpleasant taste. I had a text from Tom last week saying he wasn't interested in any other offer. What's also disappointing is that we had agreed to all his terms."

Mr Hollande is due to discuss the anti-IS fight with senior Iraqi officials.
He is the most prominent head of state to visit Iraq since a US-led 60-member coalition began air strikes against IS.
France's defence ministry says its aircraft have destroyed more than 1,700 targets since joining in 2014.
As part of the coalition there are 500 French soldiers in Iraq, advising local forces.
French special forces are believed to be involved in the battle to drive IS militants out of Mosul, the group's last major stronghold in Iraq.
That offensive began in October and forces launched a fresh push within the last week. They said they had opened new fronts in the city.
"Taking action against terrorism here in Iraq is also preventing acts of terrorism on our own soil," Mr Hollande said at a base of Iraq's elite Counter-Terrorism Service near Baghdad.
Mr Hollande is travelling with French Defence Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian.
He is scheduled to meet Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, President Fuad Masum and Parliament Speaker Salim al-Juburi later on Monday.
A source in the French presidency told AFP news agency that Mr Hollande would draw attention to the question of what to do after IS's defeat, saying he would "stress the importance of continuing efforts to ensure sustainable security in the country after Daesh (IS) has been defeated and the coexistence of communities in a united and sovereign Iraq". | French President Francois Hollande has met French soldiers in Iraq and told them their work against so-called Islamic State (IS) is helping to prevent terrorism at home. | 38,487,529 | 322 | 36 | false |

Needing 14 from the final over, Adam Rossington struck Joe Leach for three fours, but failed to hit the last ball as Northants finished on 277-7.
Rob Newton's maiden List A century had put the hosts on course for victory.
But Worcestershire took four wickets in 38 balls to set up the thrilling finale, as each side took a point.
Having been put into bat, the visitors lost Tom Kohler-Cadmore (7) and Tom Fell (1) cheaply before opener Daryl Mitchell's 75 steadied the ship.
Wicketkeeper Ben Cox, dropped on five, made a career-best 82 off 75 balls before the 25-year-old was caught on the boundary as the Rapids closed on 277-9.
The hosts looked to be heading towards their first victory of their One-Day Cup campaign as Newton and captain Alex Wakely shared a 106-run fourth-wicket stand.
However, with 12 overs remaining, Newton was caught off Jack Shantry by Joe Clarke in the deep before Wakely was run out two overs later by Brett D'Oliveira after being called through for a very risky single.
Cox then caught Steven Crook and Graeme White behind as Northants stuttered with the finishing line in sight.

Emma Raymond, 16, from Nottingham, said she was held in custody for more than eight hours after being arrested in the middle of a lesson.
After questioning, Emma was charged with harassment, but the case was later dropped.
Nottinghamshire Police said it had received a complaint about the arrest.
"It's the worst thing I've ever experienced," Emma, who has waived her legal right to anonymity, told the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme.
She was arrested in January, when two police officers arrived at her school in response to claims she had bullied another teenage girl.
"I didn't get to say anything," Emma said. "The next thing I knew they were putting me back in the back of their police car.
"Other kids saw what happened. Everyone was talking about it - I could tell by the looks people gave me. It felt like everyone was judging me."
Emma said the arresting officers had refused to let her make a phone call on the way to the police station: "I just wanted to speak to my parents. They were treating me like a murderer."
When she arrived in the custody area, "men in cells were either side of me, banging and swearing", she said. "None of it made sense. I knew it wasn't true."
Police visited Emma's home and confiscated her tablet and laptop computer, which contained her GCSE coursework, she said.
"I didn't get it back until end of March, about a week before my deadlines," she said. "It was a nightmare. I feel like it's affected my GCSEs. I don't trust the police at all, not one bit."
Emma's father, Carl, said police had accused her of being the "ringleader of a hate campaign" against the other girl.
"I'm so frustrated and angry that it happened," he added. "They could have dealt with it so differently, just come round the house.

"Being in custody can be extremely distressing and traumatic," said Shauneen Lambe, director of the legal charity Just for Kids. "You should only want to put children through it if it's absolutely necessary. It doesn't sound like that was the case for Emma."
Nottinghamshire Police said it had received a complaint, adding it "would be inappropriate for the force to comment further" at this point.

The people of Ibstock and Measham said the close knit communities have been left "numb".
A JustGiving page has raised more than £1,000 in a few hours for the family.
Kayleigh, of Measham, was last seen on Friday when she was dropped off in the nearby village of Ibstock for a planned night with friends.
A body was found late on Wednesday evening, which, although not formally identified, detectives believe is that of Kayleigh.
In the hours before the grim discovery, a vigil was held at Ibstock Baptist Church attended by about 100 people, many wearing the teenager's favourite colour of purple.
Afterwards they left the church and walked down the street in silence in a show of support to the family.
Speaking after the police revealed a body had been found, the Rev Ray Monks said the family was "numb".
"The community is devastated, we are all devastated, but we are determined that we want to stand with Kayleigh and her family at this very, very difficult time.
"Sadly, today a young girl is not going home with her family and the family are absolutely beside themselves and the community equally is a grieving community.
"She was a bright, bubbly girl, a typical teenager. A very bubbly, nice young girl. I'm sure she brought sunshine into the lives of all who knew her."
Kayleigh's former stepmother Michelle Fantom said she was a brilliant sister to her half-siblings.
"She is a lovely girl, very quiet, very caring - a brilliant sister. A brilliant daughter to Martin and Stephanie... and a normal 15-year-old planning life ahead of her."
Another vigil will be held later at St Laurence Baptist Church in Measham, where mourners will be able to light candles and leave messages of support in a book for the family.
The Rev Linda Cox said Kayleigh's disappearance had touched everyone.
"Kayleigh's mum was extremely devastated and upset and all the range of emotions you go through when losing a child, anger being one of them," she said.
"All we can do is be there and support the family through that.
"We all like to think we live in a safe place and things like this won't happen and it has. People are devastated and worried for their families and themselves. We can understand that outpouring of unease and disbelief."
Eddie Green, head teacher of Ashby School where Kayleigh was a pupil, described her as a "fun-loving" girl.
"Ashby School has a long tradition of being at the heart of our community and the students have an outstanding reputation for overcoming and dealing with adversity," he said.
"We have no doubt that at this, the most difficult of times, they will show their resolve, resilience and true community spirit in supporting each other through this period."
David Phillips, principal of Ibstock Community College, Kayleigh's previous school, said: "A close community such as ours means that our lives are intertwined with others and from this we gain great strength.
"It is this strength that will support us and also Kayleigh's family in these dark times. We have had many offers of support and this has reinforced our confidence in the good that exists in our communities."
Papers were lodged with the High Court in Belfast on Friday seeking leave to apply for a judicial review.
Former justice minister David Ford is among a group of politicians and human-rights activists whose lawyers had written to the Prime Minister.
They urged Theresa May to consider the country's peace process before triggering Article 50. - the formal process for the UK to leave the EU.
The legal representatives said: "The various assurances sought by our clients have not been forthcoming and, indeed, the response heightened their concerns about the approach the Government was likely to take.
"In light of this, papers were lodged in the High Court in Belfast on Friday seeking leave to apply for judicial review."
The law firm Jones Cassidy Brett Solicitors said it received an inadequate response from the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, David Davis, and Northern Ireland Secretary James Brokenshire.
Among the MLAs backing the move are Green Party leader Steven Agnew, SDLP leader Colum Eastwood and Sinn Féin's John O'Dowd.
Former head of the PUP Dawn Purvis and disability rights activist Monica Wilson are also behind the action, as are the Committee on the Administration of Justice human-rights group.
They say they want to ensure the Brexit process "protects progress made towards a more peaceful society" and accords "adequate weight to the democratic will of those in Northern Ireland who voted in the European referendum and in the 1998 poll on the Good Friday Agreement".
Their lawyers have said parliamentary legislation should authorise the triggering of the Article 50 leave clause, and that law should require the consent of the Northern Ireland Assembly.
Last week, the father of a man murdered by loyalist paramilitaries launched a legal challenge to Brexit.
Raymond McCord is seeking a judicial review and lodged the papers at the High Court in Belfast last Thursday.
Dubbed 'Diefenbaby' by the press, Dryden, 47, died of complications from a suicide attempt, a close friend said.
He had been suffering from a terminal pancreatic disease.
There was a striking resemblance between Dryden and Diefenbaker, whose relatives maintained that the twice-married ex-PM was childless.
Diefenbaker served as prime minister of Canada from 1957 to 1963 and died in 1979.
Dryden's mother, Mary Lou, was a close friend of Diefenbaker.
About five years ago, Dryden discovered that the man who raised him, Gordon Dryden, was not his biological father.
"I went for 42 years thinking I was a Dryden, and I just found out…that I'm not," George Dryden said at the time.
DNA tests confirmed that George Dryden was not Gordon Dryden's son, but George Dryden could not conclusively prove that Diefenbaker was his father.
"He was searching most of his life for his identity," Merry-Ellen Unan, a close friend of Dryden, told the Canadian press. "He truly didn't know who he was."
The effort to prove his parentage led George Dryden to become estranged from the family who raised him.

The world number two has won two previous Grand Slam titles - the 2012 US Open and Wimbledon in 2013.
"I still feel like my best tennis is ahead of me, that I have an opportunity to win more," said the 29-year-old, who beat Raonic 6-4 7-6 (7-3) 7-6 (7-2).
"Everyone's time comes at different stages. Hopefully mine is to come."
Murray's victory was his third in 11 Grand Slam final appearances, and he said each of his previous final defeats - all against Novak Djokovic or Roger Federer - had contributed to his success.
"Failing's not terrible," added the Scot. "I put myself in a position all of the time in these events to win them but haven't won them all of the time. I've lost a lot of close ones against great players most of the time.
"Learning from my losses is something I've done throughout most of my career.
"I think the last three months have been some of the best I've played in terms of consistency."

Murray's Wimbledon win in 2013 ended Britain's 77-year wait for a men's singles champion, and he said his latest success was more enjoyable without that statistic hanging over him.
"I feel happier this time, more content," he said.
"Last time it was just pure relief, and I didn't really enjoy the moment as much, whereas I'm going to make sure I enjoy this one.
"I feel like this is for myself more than anything, and my team as well. We've all worked really hard to help get me in this position."
Murray's mother Judy, a former captain of Great Britain's Fed Cup team, said 2016 was "just as special but not quite so stressful" as 2013.
"From being a very promising junior to getting where he got to, there was a constant, 'When are you going to win Wimbledon?'," she said.
"It was just relief when he actually did it so I think he will be able to enjoy this one a whole lot more."

Murray was reunited with coach Ivan Lendl - who oversaw his other Grand Slam titles - last month.
The Scot, who won a record fifth Queen's title in their first tournament back together, paid tribute to Lendl, himself an eight-time Grand Slam champion, in the wake of his latest All England triumph.
"He's a leader," he said. "I trust in what he says, mainly because of the results we had the last time we worked together.
"I played my best tennis under him. He was always trying to get me to play more offensive tennis. I did that and got results from it."
Lendl said he hoped to still be in Murray's players' box for his title defence in a year's time.
He added: "Maybe it looked comfortable for you but with a server like Milos you can't let up for one second.
"The match was just one break of serve the entire match, and so the focus Andy had to have was fantastic."
Murray played a key role as Great Britain beat Belgium to win the Davis Cup last year - the first time they have done so since 1936.
His team-mates have already arrived in Belgrade before their quarter-final tie with Serbia, but Murray said he would wait until Monday before deciding whether to join them.
"I'm going to speak to captain Leon Smith about that," he said.
"You feel like you could play another five matches right now. But when I wake up, it will be a bit different."
World number one Novak Djokovic ruled himself out of the tie after his Wimbledon third-round defeat by Sam Querrey.

An Italian diver says he discovered the vessel, known as HMS P311, last weekend at a depth of 80 metres (262 feet).
The submarine was last seen in December 1942, after leaving Malta as part of an Allied attack on Italian warships.
A Royal Navy spokesman said it was examining records "to determine whether or not this is a Royal Navy submarine".
Diver Massimo Bondone told local press he discovered the wreckage of the T-class submarine off the coast of the island of Tavolara.
He told reporters he was able to identify the submarine by two Chariot "manned" torpedoes strapped to its hull.
HMS P311 disappeared between 30 December 1942 and 8 January 1943, when the vessel was reported missing after failing to return to base.
It had been en route to La Maddalena, in Sardinia, to attack two Italian gun cruisers as part of an Allied assault, known as Operation Principle.
The submarine's last signal was sent on 31 December 1942 and HMS P311 is believed to have been later sunk by Italian mines.
However, the wreckage has never been found and none of the vessel's crew was found.
The submarine's captain, Commander Richard Cayley, was one of the most highly-decorated submarine commanders of World War Two and was awarded the Distinguished Service Order in 1941.
His success earned him the nickname "Deadeye Dick".
The submarine had been due to be named HMS Tutankhamun, after the Egyptian pharaoh, but it was lost before it could be officially named.
The wicketkeeper-batsman decided to put himself forward for the IPL, which runs from 9 April to 29 May, after losing his Test place to Jonny Bairstow.
Ex-England batsman Kevin Pietersen was the first player sold as Rising Pune Supergiants bought him for £350,000.
Shane Watson attracted the highest bid as Royal Challengers Bangalore paid more than £950,000 for the Australian.
In contrast, Kent wicketkeeper-batsman Sam Billings, who has five one-day international caps and five Twenty20 caps for England, was picked up by Delhi Daredevils for just £30,000.
England seamer Chris Jordan and Essex's new limited-overs captain Ravi Bopara failed to attract a bid.

French pair Pierre-Hugues Herbert and Nicolas Mahut saw their number one ranking challenge end with defeat at the ATP World Tour Finals on Friday.
They lost 6-7 (5-7) 6-4 10-4 to Henri Kontinen and John Peers in their final group match in London.
Herbert and Mahut, who failed to reach the semi-finals, trail Murray and Soares by 25 points.
Murray and Soares are assured of topping the ATP doubles team rankings for 2016, and the Brazilian could overtake Mahut in the doubles individual rankings if they win the title.
Murray, speaking to BBC Two shortly after finding out the news, said: "It's very exciting. It's a strange way to do it in the end but we've had a great year and won some big tournaments."
According to documents seen by the BBC, the parliament's Budgetary Control Committee is querying allowances granted to his adviser, Markus Engels.
Mr Engels was apparently allowed to claim residence in Brussels while living in Berlin in 2012.
There was no immediate comment when the BBC approached Mr Schulz's SPD party.
However, the party was quoted by Germany's Spiegel magazine (in English) and Stern magazine (in German) as saying travel arrangements like those for Mr Engels were "normal practice" in Brussels.
The independent EU anti-fraud office Olaf - the same body which investigated French far-right leader Marine Le Pen's expenses - has told the BBC it is looking at media reports about the conditions of employment of "certain... European Parliament staff members", without naming them.
It said it would analyse these reports to see if it was within its competence to act upon them and to judge whether there was "sufficient suspicion of fraud, corruption or any illegal activity affecting the EU's financial interests" for Olaf to open a case.
Only when they had been analysed would Olaf decide whether or not to open an investigation, it added.
Mr Schulz chaired the EP from 2012 until this year, when he stepped down to return to Germany for the general election in September.
Under his new leadership, the centre-left SPD, junior partner in Chancellor Angela Merkel's governing coalition, have seen their poll ratings rise.
Mr Engels now manages his election campaign.
According to a letter (in French) reprinted by Germany's Spiegel magazine, in January 2012 Mr Schulz asked the European Parliament's then Director-General for Communication, Juana Lahousse-Juarez, to authorise a "long-term mission" for Mr Engels to support his activities as EP president in Berlin.
In unpublished documents from the EP's Budgetary Control Committee seen by the BBC, the committee asks EP Secretary General Klaus Welle:
"Why was Brussels chosen as place of employment, which entitled him to 273 daily allowances plus 16% expat allowance plus travel costs, despite the fact that no travel costs occurred? Who decided on the place of employment?"
It also asks by what process Mr Engels was selected for the post.
A formal response to the committee's questions is expected early next month.
The sale of the stake, which has been on the cards since last year, will raise $2.5bn and will be used to reduce Glencore's debt.
The company has been hit by falling commodity prices.
As a result, it is undertaking a restructuring programme in order to reduce its $30bn debt pile.
Glencore's chief executive, Ivan Glasenberg, said: "CPPIB have a proven track record in the sector and share our vision for the future growth of the business through value-creating organic and inorganic growth opportunities.
"We welcome them aboard and look forward to continuing our good relationship as we work together."
Glencore trades in commodities including grains, oilseeds, rice, sugar and cotton.
Earlier this year, Glencore reported that profits in 2015 had fallen by almost a third as a result of the drop in commodity prices.
At the time the company also said it was aiming for $4bn-$5bn of asset disposals in 2016, plus a further $400m in savings.
Glencore accumulated much of its debts through its ambitious takeover of Xstrata in 2013.
That deal added dozens of mines in numerous countries to the commodity trader's business leaving it as one of the world's biggest miners and traders of the products of those mines.
In September last year, Glencore's shares dived after a note from analysts at Investec said its equity value could be "eliminated", although the mining giant responded by saying it was "operationally and financially robust".
When Glencore listed on the London market in 2011 it priced its shares at 530p, but the shares are currently trading at about 140p.

HMS Queen Elizabeth and Prince Of Wales will provide the Navy with a capacity it will have been without for a decade.
But the National Audit Office says the project is entering a "critical phase", with many risks to manage.
The Ministry of Defence acknowledged "challenges" but said it was committed to being fully operational by 2026.
The current cost estimates for both carriers, as well as the Lockheed Martin F-35B jets that will fly off them, is £14.3bn, the NAO said in its report.
The NAO said technical problems means sea trials for the first carrier, HMS Queen Elizabeth, will not now take place until the summer - three months later than planned.
It added that further technical issues could mean the carrier will not be operational by 2020, as has been promised by the MoD.
Among the other areas mentioned by the NAO were:
The NAO said the introduction of the carriers will also have a far-reaching impact on the way the Royal Navy operates.
A "significant proportion" of its fleet will be required to support and protect the ships, with a carrier task group likely to account for around 30% of the total fleet and 20% of the Navy's personnel.
In a statement, the Ministry of Defence said it had the personnel needed for HMS Queen Elizabeth and plans for manning HMS Prince of Wales were "advanced".
A spokesman added: "With sea trials expected to start in the summer, we recognise that there are challenges ahead and remain committed to delivering the full range of joint F-35 and carrier operations by 2026."
A Chinese immigrant, Mr Wong's vibrant paintings captured Walt Disney's eye and became the basis of the film's distinct style.
In a statement, the Walt Disney Family Museum said "his influence on the artistic composition of the animated feature Bambi cannot be overstated."
He died at home surrounded by his family.
Mr Wong emigrated to the United States from China as a child, with his father - leaving behind his mother and a sister he would never see again.
After studying as an artist, he began working with Disney in 1938 as an "inbetweener", drawing hundreds of pictures between poses to create the illusion of motion.
When the film studio began pre-production on Bambi, "he went home and painted several pictures of a deer in a forest", the Disney museum said.
"Walt Disney saw that Tyrus was able to produce exquisite artwork that did not necessarily look like the forest - but rather, felt like the forest. Walt's vision for Bambi and use of Tyrus' work still influences films today," it said.
Tyrus Wong only worked at Disney for three years, moving to Warner Brothers as a concept artist, designing greeting cards for Hallmark on the side.
After retiring, he turned to creating hundreds of elaborate bamboo kites, received many awards in recognition of his work, and became the subject of a documentary about his life.
Writing about his death, the documentary's director said "with his passing, we have lost a brilliant artist, motion picture and animation legend, Chinese American pioneer, and hero.
"Tyrus always faced adversity with dignity, courage, and art... he awed us with his talent, charmed us with his boyish humour, and moved us with his humility, generosity, resilience, and big heart."
BBC Wales understands councillors voted 25-6 in favour of the Cardiff city region deal on Monday night.
There were concerns council leader Phil Bale would struggle to persuade his Labour group to back the plan without more detail on individual projects.
Full council will consider the deal on 26 January, where it is expected to pass with Labour and Tory backing.
The Cardiff city region deal would bring together £1.2bn of local, Welsh and UK government funds to boost economic growth over 20 years.
It includes £734m for the South Wales Metro - boosting rail and bus travel in the capital and valleys.
With the involvement of 10 local authorities, the aim is to create 25,000 jobs and attract an extra £4bn in private sector investment.
All the councils need to confirm their funding for the plan by 9 February.
Cardiff's Labour group voted to accept Cardiff providing 23.7% of the local authorities' contribution over 20 years.
The city would pay a total of £2.5m over the first five years.
The annual contribution would later peak at £3.2m before falling again.
Potential projects backed by the Labour group include a 15,000 seat arena, phase two of the Eastern Bay link road, and new park and ride sites as part of the Metro transport system.
If the leadership of the council changes hands at the local elections in May, the new administration would not have to back those particular projects.
Councillors were told a final financial commitment would be made once the projects were agreed.
In December senior local government figures expressed serious concerns about whether Cardiff councillors would back the deal before the local elections.
The other nine authorities are expected to approve their contributions.
Earlier in January the 10 council leaders gave their backing to a report that sets out priorities for the deal.

However Essena has now deleted all of her accounts, saying that the pictures she posted felt fake, and left her feeling empty and addicted to social media likes.
Essena made money from posting her photos online, which made her look like she was living a perfect life, but she says these images didn't show the real truth.

England striker Carroll, 27, and Republic of Ireland goalkeeper Randolph, 29, had been on a club-sanctioned night out on Monday.
Pictures surfaced on social media on Tuesday of the pair, with users suggesting they appeared drunk.
A West Ham spokesman said: "The club is looking into these allegations and will deal with the players as we see fit."
Carroll interacted with fans throughout the day, at one point seeming to suggest that he and Randolph were out for coffee, and not drinking.
He tweeted: "I seriously need to sort my parties out!! Sorry lads.
"Back in the day my parties had the wish I was there effect!"
He also retweeted one fan who suggested that people were gullible to believe they were drinking alcohol.
The club have lost five of their six Premier League games this season.
They next face Middlesbrough at their new London Stadium on Saturday at 15:00 BST.
A Public Accounts Committee report calls for more rapid intervention when colleges face financial difficulties.
Committee chairwoman Meg Hillier said the government had been "desperately slow off the mark".
But Skills Minister Nick Boles said the government had protected funding for further education and colleges would be more financially resilient in future.
The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills says its total spending on further education will be £3.41bn by 2019-20, up by 36% on current spending.
The report from the Public Accounts Committee, which scrutinises public spending, warns that the financial state of the further education sector remains "deeply worrying".
The committee has previously warned of the risk of "financial meltdown", with forecasts that 70 colleges would be rated as "financially inadequate" by the end of this academic year.
The report says that further education colleges can give people the skills and training which can "transform their life prospects", but too many colleges are struggling financially.
Financial worries have meant that colleges were cancelling courses, not hiring staff and postponing investment plans, says the report.
"There is a real danger of substantial further deterioration in the sector and government must act now to ensure FE is put on a stable financial footing," said Ms Hillier.
The report raises concerns about "confusion" over who is responsible, when funding is split between different departments and funding agencies.
There are 4 million students in the further education sector, with £7bn per year of public funding from the Department for Education and the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills.
The report calls for more clarity over who will take charge of oversight and intervention if a college is in financial difficulties.
The government has commissioned "area-based reviews" to evaluate local services for the post-16 age group.
But the report warns against seeing these reviews as a "fix-all" approach, as it "not clear how they will deliver a robust and financially sustainable sector".
"There is no doubt further education is under significant pressure and it is both frustrating and sad to think of the potential going unfulfilled - particularly in cases where earlier intervention could have prevented problems from escalating," said Ms Hillier.
Martin Doel, chief executive of the Association of Colleges, said last month's Spending Review had a "better-than-feared outcome" for further education, but there were still "significant financial pressures".
"The committee has recognised the damage funding cuts have already done to colleges across England," said Mr Doel.
Neil Carmichael, chairman of the Education Select Committee, said the economy needed a "thriving, innovative further education sector to help equip people with skills and qualifications".
But he said funding "has to match the government's ambitious goals for the further education sector and ensure colleges have the financial security to plan ahead and achieve these aims".
Jonathan Tummons, an expert in work-based learning, at Durham University, said: "Further education has been underfunded - in comparison to schools and sixth forms - for many years.
"Already there are too many instances of students being pushed together in order to make a class financially viable, or of students being pushed on to courses that they are not yet ready for," said Dr Tummons.
Gordon Marsden, Labour's shadow minister for universities, further education and skills, said: "This authoritative cross-party report raises a red light danger signal about the future of our further education colleges and providers, and confirms the damage this government has done to further education."
"Labour has consistently warned that such a short-sighted approach to further education risks worsening the skills emergency that businesses and industry are facing; at the same time falling investment in sixth forms and further education has already put colleges up and down the country under strain, with more real terms cuts to come."
The government says it has supported a range of measures to promote skills and training, including increased spending on apprenticeships, protecting core adult skills budgets, extending tuition fee loans to further education and creating five new national colleges.
"We have protected funding for further education and will be increasing real-term spending by more than a third in the next five years, furthermore funding for apprenticeships will have doubled since 2010," said Mr Boles.
"We recognise the important contribution the sector makes to increasing opportunity for young people and businesses, and ensuring our long-term economic security.
"With early intervention from the funding agencies, the FE commissioner and locally-led area reviews, colleges will become more efficient and financially resilient while ensuring the best return on investment for public funding."
Earlier this month, the 500 and 1,000 rupee notes were banned overnight, causing chaos as people lined up at banks to exchange their old currency.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has defended the decision saying it was an anti-corruption measure.
But opposition parties say the move was mishandled.
Last week, they stalled parliament and demanded Mr Modi should apologise for the decision.
Correspondents say it is unclear how much public momentum a day of protests will generate as many Indians have supported the move, despite the inconvenience it has caused them.
Most opposition parties said they would participate in the so-called "day of rage".
But a number of important regional leaders - like the chief ministers of Bihar and Orissa - refused to back the protests, saying Mr Modi's attempts to curb corruption should be welcomed.
Protest rallies have been held in the cities of Lucknow, Kolkata and Bangalore.
The southern state of Kerala and the eastern state of Tripura, both ruled by the Communists, saw a near total shutdown.
"We are protesting against the undeclared financial emergency imposed by the government and the hardships people across the country are facing because of this illegal decision," Manish Tiwari of the Congress party told the AFP news agency.
"The decision to demonetise high-value currency was done without any authority and legislation and is clearly illegal."
About 90% of India's transactions are in cash and many people do not have a bank account. The two banned notes accounted for about 86% of the cash in circulation.
In his first national address since the government banned the notes, Mr Modi called on Sunday for people to embrace digital payments and use less cash.
Last week, former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said the government's move to ban the much-used banknotes was "monumental mismanagement", and that the country's gross domestic product would fall "by about 2%" because of the move.
Mr Modi announced that 500 and 1,000 rupee notes were no longer legal tender as part of a crackdown on corruption on 8 November.
There have been chaotic scenes in India ever since. People have spent hours queuing outside banks and cash machines which often run out of money.
In some instances the police have had to be called in to manage queues of anxious customers trying to access legal tender.

After launching his candidacy as an outsider last year, Mr Trump went on to overcome all rivals to clinch the Republican presidential nomination.
Some polls have since indicated he is leading Democrat candidate Hillary Clinton in the presidential race.
Asked by NBC News if Mr Trump could win, Mr Obama said: "I've seen all kinds of crazy stuff happen."
"I think anybody who goes into campaigns not running scared can end up losing," he added.
Poll monitors had given Mrs Clinton a double-digit lead over Mr Trump for much of the presidential race, but that lead has since been whittled down.
Mr Trump received a boost nationally, and in key battleground states, after the end of his party's convention last week. Some polls now show he is in the lead over Mrs Clinton.
The Democrats' convention in Philadelphia ends on Thursday.
President Obama, Vice-President Joe Biden and Mrs Clinton's vice-presidential pick, Tim Kaine, will speak at the convention on Wednesday.
On Tuesday, Bill Clinton, made the case for his wife's presidency, calling her the "best darn change-maker I've ever known".
"Hillary opened my eyes to a whole new world of public service by private citizens," he said.
In other key moments on Tuesday:
The 15-day Wiltshire Police amnesty, which ended on Sunday, included more than 30 shotguns being handed in.
Insp Steve McGrath, said: "Many of the firearms are old and cobweb-covered, which have been in people's possession for some time."
The rare models are being offered to military museums for display but the rest will be destroyed, police said.
Items collected include 27 air rifles, 35 shotguns, nine air pistols, three revolvers and three handguns.
Insp McGrath added: "Many of these firearms have stories to tell, such as a .303 rifle from the 1870s.
"This was an 'unreliable' rifle type for military use, but was converted to .22 calibre and used for sporting purposes in shooting clubs across the country.
"We also collected two rare European pistols from the 1900s."
Unused ammunition was also handed in.
Jackson headed home the only goal from Luke James' bicycle kick into the area.

Wimbledon stay ninth, four points adrift of the play-off places while Hartlepool are now 21st, 11 points clear of the relegation zone.
Bwalya, who is a member of the Caf executive, is in Zambia as part of Caf's delegation, watching the on-going Under-20 Africa Cup of Nations.
Kamanga had written a protest letter to Caf president Issa Hayatou alleging that Bwalya was working with people to destabilise his leadership.
Kamanga claimed Bwalya's presence had heightened calls for him to be impeached during the Zambia FA (Faz) annual general meeting later this month.
Bwalya denies all the allegations.
The situation forced the Caf President Issa Hayatou to intervene by calling Bwalya and Kamanga together to discuss the matter.
Hayatou told reporters that Bwalya should respect Kamanga as he was duly elected as Zambia's FA President.
"During our meeting we requested the former president (Bwalya) to respect the current one (Kamanga)" Hayatou told a press briefing.
"And we also asked the current executive to seek advice from him (Bwalya) for the good of the game.
"The two, I am sure, are in good relations now. There is nothing wrong. We are very satisfied with the outcome of that meeting" Hayatou added.
Kamanga was elected as the Zambia FA's president after defeating Bwalya last year.

Sergei Palkin, whose club are based in the predominantly Russian-speaking east of the country, has told Football Focus on BBC World News that "football is a positive emotion" and proposes all top-division sides replace sponsor logos on their shirts with a message promoting solidarity.
I want all teams to remove their shirt sponsors and put some words that say we are one country
"Ukrainian clubs have millions of supporters and if we all come together to say that we should not have wars or civil problems, then we can bring a lot of value to all people living in Ukraine.
"I want all teams to remove their shirt sponsors and put some words that say we are one country. It will be a big message to Ukrainian people - in Ukrainian or Russian-speaking areas."
The decision to postpone UPL matches until further notice was made outside of football by Ukraine's ministry of internal affairs, while the national team has also been affected by civil unrest and political tension.
An international on Wednesday against the United States, which Ukraine won 2-0, was moved from Kharkiv to Cyprus.
Ukraine and Shakhtar central defender Dmytro Chygrynskiy admits it is a worrying time to live in his home country.
"The Shakhtar team feel pressure and empty," he said.
"When people are dying it is not easy to keep on working. We have to realise that nothing is more important than human life."
Chygrynskiy has spent 11 years at Shakhtar and won the Spanish title with Barcelona in 2010.
"We [Ukrainian] are people with big history and people with big hearts. Ukrainians are not used to living under pressure.
"Historically we are free and we want this freedom now.
"What do they say - make love not war."
Donetsk and Kiev have submitted bids to stage Euro 2020 matches - a tournament that will take place in multiple European countries - but given that UEFA will announce host cities in September, Palkin believes Ukraine will almost certainly miss out.
The country co-hosted Euro 2012 with Poland and five matches were played at Donetsk's Donbass Arena.
"The political situation in our country will influence [the decision] and therefore to be honest, I do not think they will give us anything.
"Uefa will not risk it. No one knows when the crisis will be finished."

Why do America and Europe persist with the notion that they can work in partnership with Vladimir Putin? Never mind that he is the only leader since former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein to annex part of another sovereign country, he now appears to be the only major world statesman who has openly supported Fifa president Sepp Blatter.
Western politicians ought by now to have realised that this is not a man with whom they can do meaningful business.
Yet Kremlin misdemeanour after Kremlin misdemeanour, the West keeps returning to the table.
As if US Secretary of State John Kerry, for example, hadn't been humiliated enough by being made to wait for two hours before his last meeting with Mr Putin in Russia, he was back again two weeks ago in Sochi.
The purpose of that trip is a worrying mystery:
We don't yet know which.
This recognition the Western response to the Ukraine crisis has been a series of short-term, tactical steps (by no means all of them wrong) lacking a strategic context has inspired a Chatham House report.
The Russian Challenge's six authors propose a markedly different strategy.
Appeasing the Russian leadership hasn't worked in the past, and it won't work now. It's wrong in principle, and it's bad policy to boot.
If the West does (or already has done) some kind of backroom deal with Russia, allowing it a Cold War sphere of influence around its borders, this condemns millions of people in several supposedly independent former Soviet countries to a return to domination by Moscow.
But even this would bring little improvement in East-West relations.
The Russian leadership believes these countries are theirs.
The West would not get so much as a thank you - just like the last time this terrible mistake was made, in Yalta during World War Two.
The Russian Challenge makes the case for an entirely new set of policies.
They will not replace the regime in Russia.
The West does not have that capability anyway.
However, the policies outlined will deliberately make life less comfortable for the Russian leadership, as a response to its highly controversial pursuit of what it sees as its natural right to dictate terms to Ukraine.
These policies would include:
The recommendation on sanctions needs urgent attention, as the decision on extending or relaxing them comes up this month.
The duration of sanctions is at least as important as their severity.
Again, they are not designed to do the impossible - change Vladimir Putin's mind - and they most certainly should not represent the totality of the Western response.
But they are what mature nations do when confronted with aggression, as opposed to descending to an aggressor's level and responding in kind.
A recent Chatham House paper argued this was not another Cold War.
Russia has retained some of the characteristics of its Soviet predecessor, but it is no longer a global superpower.
The simple fact is the end of the Cold War resulted in liberation and independence for the former Soviet republics - but it is this fact Russia, and President Putin personally, now do not wish to recognise.
Russia continues to argue a moral equivalence between its actions and those of the West.
But from providing weaponry Western nations believe shot down a Malaysian airliner, killing 298 people (which Russia denies), to suppressing dissent and the liberal media, to making the deaths of its young soldiers once again a state secret, Russia demonstrates time and again it has no place among the Western community of civilised nations.
Russia has just banned 89 supposedly "hostile" EU citizens from entering its territory. Western policy should not react to such day-to-day events.
In a speech in February, the head of the European Union External Action Service, Federica Mogherini, was asked repeatedly what the EU's response should be if the situation deteriorated.
Three times Ms Mogherini replied she was an optimist - but gave no indication there was any strategy beyond this.
Now, unsurprisingly, the situation has deteriorated. Optimism is clearly not a strategy.
But with just a small amount of political will, the new set of more robust policies recommended by the Russian Challenge can induce a better relationship with Russia in the longer term.

The pair are both through to the last eight of the Welsh Open at Cardiff, with White beating defending champion John Higgins 4-1.
"Michael White is an amazing player. He has absolutely everything," O'Sullivan, 40, told BBC Wales.
"Wales is going to have another world champion... maybe a multiple world champion."
O'Sullivan added: "John Higgins behind Stephen Hendry is the best player I have seen and he has lost to Michael.
"He [White] is fearless, he plays everybody like they are the same. He doesn't care who is sat in that seat against him and that is a gift.
"Michael is now a top player. He's definitely knocking on the doo. If he won the world title this year I wouldn't be surprised."
Englishman O'Sullivan had little trouble beating China's Yu Delu 4-1 after losing the opening frame.
White, 24, described the victory over four-time world champion Higgins as a career highlight.
"It is a fantastic win, [it] would have to be up there with the best of my career," White said.
"I am feeling very relaxed and laid back and it showed in my performance.
"To get that win in my home event makes it more special. It is good for Wales and the tournament.
"Who knows, maybe a Welsh player could get to the final."
Agulla, 27, joined the Falcons from French side Agen in October and has since made eight Premiership appearances for the club.
"This squad is very united and I have been made to feel very welcome since I got here" he told the club's website.
"I share the ambitions of everyone here in wanting to get better for next season."
Agulla is one of six players who have recently renewed deals with the club, which finished 11th in the Premiership this season.
The club's top try-scorer Nili Latu, prop Rob Vickers, lock Will Witty, scrum-half Sonatane Takulua and fly-half Craig Willis have already committed their futures to the Falcons.
Ten new signings have also been announced by the club in recent weeks as they look to improve on a disappointing season.
A sample was taken as a precaution because the patient has a history of travel in west Africa, where almost all of the recent deaths have occurred.
Dr Marion Lyons, PHW director of health protection, had already said it was "unlikely" the patient had the disease.
The virus has killed more than 6,800 people this year but no cases of Ebola have been diagnosed in the UK.
Earlier, Ms Lyons said: "Based on our established evidence-based risk assessment protocol, we are confident that all appropriate actions are being taken to ensure there is no risk to public health.
"It is important to remember that there has never been a case of Ebola diagnosed in the UK and the infection can only be transmitted through contact with the bodily fluids of an infected person.
"We have advised all frontline medical practitioners dealing with patients to be alert to signs and symptoms of Ebola in those returning from affected areas. Following such advice we would expect to see an increase in precautionary testing.
"Should there be a positive case in Wales, this information will be made available to the public."
It would offer students who face homophobic bullying in mainstream education a safe place to learn.
Pupils would be referred to the school for full-time and part-time places.
But there are worries it could cause segregation and do nothing to promote tolerance.
Newsbeat's been finding out what people think:
Leon Ward is a 23-year-old gay man who works with the young people's sexual health charity, Brook.
Leon didn't come out at school because he was bullied, but it doesn't make him agree with opening an LGBT school.
"Segregation doesn't work when you're talking about creating equality," he says.
"You have to deal with the core issues of bullying rather than forcing the victims to move.
"Isn't there something more powerful about championing equality?
"The money would be better spent on education in mainstream schools.
"There should also be a more wholesome approach to sex education with teachers openly talking about gay, straight and bisexual sex," he says.
"You know what kids are like: 'We wanna beat up some gays so let's go to that gay school and beat them up.'"
Amelia Lee is from the youth charity behind the idea, LGBT Youth North West.
Amelia will be consulting young people, teachers and specialists about the need for a school based at an LGBT centre in Manchester.
"A lot of LGBT young people tell us they experience active hostility from other pupils," she says.
"But they also suffer self hatred - they're made to feel like freaks.
"They need specialist personal development support," explains Amelia Lee.
"For example, for a trans child it can be really hard to work out how or when to come out and to who.
"It would be for all pupils regardless of whether they're LGBT or not," she continues.
"All are welcome, we're not going to ask pupils to prove their sexuality."
James is an 18-year-old gay man who's been visiting the LGBT centre in Manchester for five years.
James was bullied at school when he came out in Year 7.
"I told everyone I don't care who knows," he says.
"But that was a big mistake. Once they took my bags and books and wrote 'Die in hell' on there.

"Schools are failing LGBT kids and we need a solution," he goes on.
"In an ideal world we wouldn't build a separate school, but it's naive to think that mainstream schools are going to take steps to tackle homophobia."
He says a school like this would have changed his life: "I would not have been so depressed and desperate."
"It's not so much segregation as training these young people to integrate."
Hannah Kibirige is from the the lesbian, gay and bisexual charity, Stonewall.
Hannah's sympathetic to the aims of setting up an LGBT school, but thinks there are better ways to make sure all students have a positive experience.
"The best way to make sure that happens is to train teachers to make sure they're skilled up to deal with homophobic bullying," she says.
"Some recent research we did shows that 9 out of 10 teachers feel they have a duty to tackle it, but most haven't been trained."
She explains: "We know that homophobic bullying is endemic, but we want every young person to be able to access support and that's about making all of our schools inclusive."
"Our approach remains that the only way to ensure no-one experiences bullying is to make sure all teachers can deal with it."
Councillor Sheila Newman is an executive member of Children's Services at Manchester City Council.
The council told Newsbeat it supports LGBT Youth NW in their bid for funding to expand their premises and develop the good work they already do across the city to support LGBT young people.
"We fully support initiatives to support LGBT young people and to tackle homophobia in schools and wider society," she says.
"We don't support however - and haven't supported - the setting up of a separate school for LGBT young people.
"Schools should be inclusive supportive places for all pupils regardless of their sexuality."

Beijing is running a global campaign to repatriate Chinese fugitives and recover illicit funds, the newspaper said citing unnamed US officials.
The US state department has now resorted to warning Chinese officials about the activities, the report says.
Chinese President Xi Jinping will make a state visit to the US next month.
The alleged programme - reportedly codenamed Operation Fox Hunt by Beijing - is separate from China's routine spying activities against the US.
The New York Times said the undercover agents were working under the direction of China's Ministry of Public Security and probably entering the country on tourism or trade visas.
Their tactics reportedly include threats to family members who remain in China.
More than 930 suspects around the world have been repatriated to China since last year under the programme, the newspaper said, citing the Ministry of Public Security.
The fugitives sought under Operation Fox Hunt are believed to be prominent expatriates, sought for economic corruption or what China considers political crimes.
Members from the Transport Salaried Staffs' Association (TSSA) will not join walk outs on 5 and 7 February.
The RMT union announced the action on Friday after abandoning talks at the conciliation service Acas.
The TSSA said LU's proposals "pave the way for a resolution". It wants further talks with management.
General secretary Manuel Cortes said the offer included the creation of an additional 325 new posts which "goes some way towards restoring adequate safety on our Tube".
But the union's overtime ban will remain in place while TSSA representatives "seek further talks with LU".
Members of the RMT will walk out for 16 hours from 18:00 GMT on 5 February, and then hold a 15-hour strike from 10:00 on 7 February.
A 24-hour strike by the RMT and TSSA earlier this month over the same issues led to much of the Tube network being shut.
BBC London transport correspondent Tom Edwards said the TSSA was the smaller of the two unions so the strike would still have a large impact.
But he said the TSSA's announcement could lead to more talks between the RMT and LU.
A spokesperson for the RMT said "all planned action remains on" but union representatives will return for more talks at Acas on Tuesday.
General secretary Mick cash has accused LU of compromising safety on the Tube because of "cash-led cuts to staffing levels".
Steve Griffiths, LU's chief operating officer, said the proposal had been made "to both unions in order to end this dispute".
"We are available for further discussions this week to provide clarification on the implementation of these proposals," he said.
Transport for London (TfL) has previously said it would address the recommendations of a report which said job cuts had caused "significant issues" for Underground passengers.
Police said the male officer received non-life-threatening slash injuries to his neck, face and hand at an HMV store in Leeds city centre.
A 36-year-old man from Leeds has been arrested in connection with the incident.
Forensic officers have been at the shop, which remained closed.

A force spokesman said: "At 9.07 today, police received a report of an off-duty police officer having been attacked with a knife in the HMV store in Victoria Walk, in Leeds city centre, as he challenged a suspected shoplifter.
"The suspect, a 36-year-old man from Leeds, was detained by store staff and has been arrested in connection with the incident."
The store remained closed for around two hours after the incident, police said.
Liam Hughes, a Big Issue seller, described the incident as "absolute madness" - but said the officer did not appear to be badly hurt.
He said the store had only been open for a few minutes when the attack took place.

The opah traps warmth from its flapping fins, which are well insulated by fat.
It uses that heat to keep its heart, brain and other organs warm while it swims to depths of hundreds of metres.
Other fish like tuna can warm specific body parts, boosting performance at key times, but whole-body "endothermy" has not been observed in a fish before.
The research is published in the journal Science.
Mammals and birds are traditionally thought to be the planet's only warm-blooded animals, keeping their body temperature consistently warmer than the outside environment.
Fish and reptiles are almost entirely cold-blooded, or "ectothermic"; they are at the mercy of the environment for their warmth and largely get by on slower metabolic rates.
Some fish are known to use so-called "regional endothermy", including tuna, which can warm their swimming muscles for a burst of speed when pursuing prey.
But deep-water fish such as the opah are usually relatively slow and sluggish, tending to ambush their prey instead of making chase.
This makes the new findings quite a surprise, according to the study's first author Nicholas Wegner.
"Before this discovery I was under the impression this was a slow-moving fish, like most other fish in cold environments," said Dr Wegner, from the Southwest Fisheries Science Center run by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in the US.
"But because it can warm its body, it turns out to be a very active predator that chases down agile prey like squid and can migrate long distances."
Dr Wegner and his colleagues measured the temperature of different body parts in freshly caught fish. They also implanted thermometers while the animals dived beneath the waves.
They discovered that the opah's muscles were consistently about 5C warmer than the surrounding water, even when they descended between 50m and 300m under the surface, where the water is typically between 8C and 11C.
The opah's head region and heart are also kept about 3C warmer than the water.
This might not seem like a huge advantage, but it requires some sophisticated thermal engineering - especially for a beast this size: the opah in the study weighed from 22kg to 68kg but the species has been known to reach 270kg.
Instead of undulating its body like most fish, the opah propels itself by flapping its pectoral fins. These very active muscles are insulated from the water by a thick layer of fatty tissue, trapping the warmth.
Crucially, when blood is pumped into the animal's gills to collect oxygen, heat loss is minimised by a dense, intertwined network of blood vessels called a rete mirabile.
At the surface of the gills, blood picks up oxygen and loses warmth. But as it passes back through the sponge-like rete mirabile (Latin for "wonderful net"), it regains some heat from the still-warm blood arriving from inside the fish's body.
The design was a bit like a car's radiator, Dr Wegner said.
"There has never been anything like this seen in a fish's gills before. This is a cool innovation by these animals that gives them a competitive edge.
"The concept of counter-current heat exchange was invented in fish long before we thought of it."

An investigation by watchdog Ofcom found that the ISP broke a fundamental billing rule by continuing to charge a group of customers for landline and broadband after they had cancelled services.
In total, customers were overcharged by more than £500,000.
Plusnet has apologised for the error.
Lindsey Fussell, Ofcom's consumer group director, said: "There can be no margin for error, and no excuses, when it comes to billing customers correctly.
"This fine should serve as a reminder to telecoms companies that they must adhere to Ofcom's billing rules at all times, or face the consequences."
A spokeswoman for the ISP said: "We are very sorry and would like to apologise to the 1,025 customers affected. We reported this ourselves to Ofcom and made every effort to contact these customers to arrange a full refund before the investigation started.
"We would also like to reassure all customers this was an isolated historic issue and we have implemented a number of new robust measures to make sure this doesn't happen again."
Plusnet has made repeated attempts to refund all affected ex-customers by letter and phone. It has refunded 356 people a total of £212,140, which included interest at a rate of 4% for each of them.
The remaining funds, for customers whom it could not contact, have been donated to various charities.
The fine, which will be passed on to the Treasury, must be paid within 20 working days. | A teenage girl who was arrested at school over claims of bullying has described her treatment by police as a "nightmare".

The BBC's Mary Harper recently returned from Eritrea. Here are some of the people and places she encountered during her journey through the African country.
St Clement's Church, on Star Lane, has been closed since 1979 but a campaign was launched two years ago to convert it into an arts venue.
Ipswich Borough Council, which owns the building, has approved a change of use.
Simon Hallsworth, who is involved in the project, said: "It's one of the most beautiful spaces in the region and we intend to bring it back to life."
Mr Hallsworth said the 250-400 capacity centre, which is being overseen by a community interest group, would fill a gap in the town.
"We're responding to a need," he said. "There's been a movement in Ipswich calling for a mid-sized venue for almost 30 years.
"We anticipate making it a very flexible space. We're trying to reconcile two aims - one is to bring the kind of acts who don't come into Ipswich, and also to allow it to be a home for a whole series of other artistic events.
"We don't want to nail ourselves to one demographic or art form."
The council said Ipswich Arts Centre could open up as a "pop-up venue" while fundraising efforts continued, ahead of more permanent building work.
The Scots batted first and were 169 all out as Zimbabwe captain Graeme Cremer took five wickets.
And though Chris Sole took three wickets in reply, the tourists reached 171-4 with Sikandar Raza (58) and Ryan Burl (30) not out.
On Thursday, Scotland beat Zimbabwe to claim a first win over a Test nation.
And, like the first meeting, Kyle Coetzer top-scored for the Scots but he could not record a second straight century.
Captain Coetzer posted 61, closely followed by 58 from Calum MacLeod.
However, the hosts were unable to maintain that form as Richie Berrington, Preston Mommsen, Con de Lange, Craig Wallace, Josh Davey, Alasdair Evans and Sole all failed to reach double figures.
Solomon Mire opened the Zimbabwe innings with 17 and Hamilton Masakadza (12) and Craig Ervine (30) maintained their momentum.
That was interrupted when Sean Williams was caught for six off Sole's bowling but Raza and Burl's stand got the tourists over the line.
Air safety chief Christopher Hart said the "feathering" device, designed to slow the craft on re-entry, activated without a command from the pilots.
But he said it was too soon to confirm any possible cause of the crash.
Media reports had focused on the fuel tanks and the engine, but Mr Hart said that both were found intact.
"We know as a matter of fact that the lever was moved from locked to unlocked," Mr Hart of the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) told the BBC.
"There are several links in the chain to find out what the total cause of this accident is," he added. "We have a lot we don't know."
Meanwhile, Virgin boss Sir Richard Branson accused a "handful of British newspapers" of publishing "wild accusations" over the crash.
He said initial findings from US investigators had shown reports that suggested problems with the fuel or engine had caused an explosion were "garbage".
"Rumours and innuendo from self-proclaimed experts can be put back in their box," he told the BBC.
Sir Richard said that he would not send tourists into space until he and his family members had made the trip. He described the accident as a "horrible setback".
Virgin Galactic had aimed to send tourists into space early next year, and has already taken more than 700 flight bookings at $250,000 (£156,000) each.
Analysis: Jon Amos, BBC science correspondent
In normal flight, the feathering device is deployed when the ship has reached its highest altitude, after the spaceship has broken through the atmosphere. The twin tailbooms on the craft are rotated 90 degrees, from the horizontal to the vertical.
The effect is to make the returning spaceship behave much like a shuttlecock.
As the air gets thicker on the descent and rushes over the booms, the drag on the vehicle means it naturally adopts a belly-down position ready for the glide back home - just as the feathers always ensure forward-facing flight for the conical projectile used in a game of badminton.
Feathering gets around the need for a complicated system of small thrusters that would otherwise be required to put the rocket plane into the correct re-entry attitude.
The system worked to great effect on the prototype SpaceShipOne when it made its flights to suborbital space 10 years ago.
Virgin's 'feathering' system
Mr Hart told reporters earlier that the feathering device was supposed to be activated at Mach 1.4 (1,065mph; 1,715km/h), but had been deployed at Mach 1 during the test flight.
He said one of the pilots had enabled the device, but the second stage of its deployment had happened "without being commanded".
"Shortly after the feathering occurred, the telemetry data terminated and the video data terminated," he said.
The feathering device lifts and rotates the tail to create drag, slowing the craft on its descent.
He said SpaceShipTwo's fuel tanks and engine were found intact, without any sign of being breached.
NTSB investigators have now found almost all of the parts of the crashed spacecraft as part of an inquiry they say could take many months to complete.
SpaceShipTwo was making its first test flight for nine months when it crashed near the Californian city of Bakersfield.
Virgin Galactic said the craft experienced "a serious anomaly" after it separated from launch vehicle WhiteKnightTwo.
The spacecraft was using a new type of rocket fuel never before used in flight, although officials said it had undergone extensive ground testing.
Michael Alsbury: Aged 39, 15 years of flying experience, first flew in SpaceShipTwo in 2010
Peter Siebold: Aged 43, received pilot's licence when just 16, had spent 2,000 hours in 35 different fixed-wing aircraft
Will crash set back space tourism?
The project has been subject to numerous delays, and its commercial launch has been pushed back several times.
The Financial Times reported that the venture is facing financial difficulties - with $400m in funding from Abu Dhabi now dried up and Virgin Group covering the day-to-day expenses.
The co-pilot who died when SpaceShipTwo disintegrated shortly after take-off was 39-year-old Michael Alsbury.
Scaled Composites, the company employing both pilots, said surviving pilot Peter Siebold, 43, was "alert and talking with his family and doctors".

One in two women and one in five men over the age of 50 suffer such fractures, says the National Osteoporosis Society.
Usually, no symptoms precede the first fracture, often caused by a minor fall.
And the charity found a fifth of female patients surveyed had not been diagnosed with the condition until they had had three or more broken bones.
If you answered: "Yes," to more than one of these questions, then you may be more at risk of developing osteoporosis:
Source: National Osteoporosis Society
One in 10 of these said they had never discussed osteoporosis or bone health with the medical professionals treating their fractures.
After the first break, one in eight people will go on to break another bone within a year and one in five will have another fracture within five years.
To help keep your bones healthy:
Claire Severgnini, chief executive of the National Osteoporosis Society, said: "Those who are most vulnerable to osteoporosis and fragility fractures are often not aware of the condition or don't recognise the signs that they are at risk.
"The condition can have a huge impact on your quality of life, creating unnecessary months of difficulty with everything from daily tasks such as getting washed in the morning, to driving and even enjoying time with loved ones."
About three million people in the UK have osteoporosis.
Women are at greater risk of developing osteoporosis than men. This is because changes in hormone levels with the menopause can affect bone density.
A Canadian foundation campaigning for his release said a source had told it the flogging could happen at any time.
European Parliament President Martin Schulz, who gave Mr Badawi the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought in 2015, said he was shocked and saddened.
The 32 year old was sentenced in 2014 to 10 years in prison and 1,000 lashes for "insulting Islam" online.
There was an international outcry after he received the first 50 lashes in public in January 2015, and he has not been flogged since.
The Raif Badawi Foundation said in a statement that it had "received from a private source the sad news concerning the fact that the Saudi government will resume the lashing punishment".
The source was the same who had warned about the first flogging session, the statement added.
"Our understanding of the information is that another series of lashes punishment will take place this time inside the prison."
Badawi's wife Ensaf Haidar, who fled to the Canadian province of Quebec with the couple's three children in 2012 following an attempt on her husband's life, told Deutsche Welle on Tuesday: "I was totally shocked by the news. I'm worried and scared that they'll carrying on whipping him."
"I'm concerned about Raif's health, which is not good - either mentally or physically."
Mrs Haidar added: "I really hope that Saudi Arabia will not go ahead and implement the sentence. I would hope that the Saudi authorities strip Raif of his citizenship and then deport him to Canada to be with us."
Badawi established the Liberal Saudi Network, a now-closed online forum that sought to encourage debate on religious and political matters in Saudi Arabia, in 2008.
In 2012, he was arrested in the city of Jeddah and charged with "insulting Islam through electronic channels" and "going beyond the realm of obedience".
Later that year, a judge recommended that he also be tried for apostasy, which carries the death penalty, because Badawi had refused to "repent to God".
But that was not pursued by prosecutors, and in 2013 Badawi was sentenced to seven years in prison and 600 lashes by a criminal court on the initial charges.
In 2014, an appeals court upheld the conviction and increased the punishment to 10 years in prison and 1,000 public lashes.
It also fined him 1m Saudi riyals ($267,000; £217,000) and banned him from any media work or foreign travel for 10 years after his release.
Saudi Arabia's Supreme Court confirmed the sentences in June 2015.
Researchers from the Victor Chang Institute in Sydney called it "a double breakthrough", as they found both a cause and a preventative solution.
With 7.9 million babies born each year with a birth defect worldwide, the team hopes the benefits are wide-reaching.
But an expert said the findings "cannot be translated into recommendations" for pregnancy.
The researchers analysed the DNA of four families where the mothers had suffered multiple miscarriages or their babies were born with multiple birth defects, such as heart, kidney, vertebrae and cleft palate problems.
They found mutations in two genes that caused the child to be deficient in a vital molecule known as Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), which allows cells to generate energy and organs to develop normally.
Lead researcher Prof Sally Dunwoodie replicated these mutations in mice but found they could be corrected if the pregnant mother took niacin (vitamin B3).
"You can boost your levels of NAD and completely prevent the miscarriages and birth defects. It bypasses the genetic problem," she said. "It's rare that you find a cause and a prevention in the same study. And the prevention is so simple, it's a vitamin," she said.
Dr Katie Morris, an expert in maternal foetal medicine at the University of Birmingham, said: "While exciting, this discovery cannot be translated into recommendations for pregnant women, who at most may be deficient in vitamin B3.
"The doses used in this research were 10 times the recommended daily doses for supplementation in women."
She said the side-effects of this high dosage are not known, with pregnancy complications often occurring because of the complex interaction of a number of factors.
Prof Jean Golding, from the University of Bristol, called it a "solid piece of work" but cautioned against extrapolating too much from the findings, because they were based on the genetics of four families and mice.
For now, Prof Dunwoodie recommended pregnant women take a pregnancy-specific multivitamin, which includes the advised 18 milligrams of niacin.
"But, we're not all the same in how we absorb nutrients," she said, adding that body mass index and diabetes can influence how a woman produces NAD.
She added: "We don't know who these women are that don't make sufficient levels, so that will be the next thing to study."

"The more quality players around you, the more quality it brings out in you."
Sterling had been under contract at Liverpool until 2017 but turned down a £100,000-a-week deal to extend his five-year stay at Anfield.
Liverpool rejected a number of offers from City before accepting a bid.
Sterling, who joined Liverpool from QPR in 2010, paid tribute to three Reds managers he has worked under, as well as agent Aidy Ward, who said in May that Sterling would not sign a new deal at Liverpool even if offered "£900,000 a week".

"The thing that excites me the most is the world-class squad we have and knowing we have a team that is capable of winning things year in, year out," Sterling said.
"I'd like to thank Rafa Benitez for taking me to Liverpool as a 15 year-old - that was a massive step for me and a new challenge. Also to Kenny Dalglish for showing such faith in me and putting me in at such a young age.
"I want to thank Brendan Rodgers for giving me a chance and an opportunity in the first team, and giving me a real chance to cement a place in the first team and show the world my talents.
"Finally, I'd also like to thank all the people around me - my mum and sisters, my management team and Aidy Ward for helping me focus and get where I am today."

The move to release data on the number of National Insurance numbers actively used by EU citizens follows pressure from Eurosceptic MPs and economists.
They have long argued official figures on inward migration from the EU vastly underestimate the true numbers.
Revenue and Customs said it would give a "fuller picture" of migration trends.
The BBC's deputy political editor Norman Smith said the figures, which could emerge by the end of April, had the potential to have an "incendiary effect" on the referendum campaign.
Voters will decide on 23 June whether the UK should remain in the EU or leave, with immigration expected to be a key battleground.
Those campaigning to leave the EU argue the UK cannot control levels of migration from Europe - which have risen sharply in the past decade - while remaining a member and abiding by the EU's rules on the free movement of people.
Reality Check: Are NI numbers a good migration measure?
Campaigners to leave the European Union have been badgering the government about the reliability of the official immigration statistics.
Nigel Farage is wondering why, as Jonathan Portes has been pointing out, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) figures for migration to the UK from other EU countries is so much lower than the number of National Insurance numbers allocated to EU nationals.
According to the most recent comparable statistics, migration to the UK from the rest of the EU was 257,000 in the year to September 2015, but during the same period, 655,000 EU nationals registered for National Insurance numbers (Ninos).
Mr Farage smells a rat: "They are pulling the wool over our eyes. Ninos are a simple and clear reflection of the real numbers of people in this country, as without them you can neither legally work, nor claim benefits."
Now the government has promised to tell us how many of the Ninos issued are still active - in other words, how many of the EU citizens who registered are currently paying UK tax or claiming benefits. But are Ninos a good measure of immigration?

But those pushing to stay in the EU argue that the UK, which is not a member of the Schengen area, does have controls in place and curbs on future in-work benefits for EU migrants negotiated by David Cameron will reduce the "pull factors" attracting people to the UK.
Figures published by the Office for National Statistics suggested that 257,000 EU migrants came to the UK between September 2014 and September 2015.
But other figures for the same period show 630,000 National Insurance numbers were allocated to EU nationals, up 7% on the year before. Of these, 209,000 were from Bulgaria and Romania.
The ONS has said its figures include migrants only in the UK for a short period and are not a "direct measure" of when they arrived in the UK, pointing out that many Bulgarians and Romanians may have been living and working on a self-employed basis in the UK for several years.
Economists have long called for details of how many National Insurance (NI) numbers - which are issued to those entitled to study or work to help pay tax and benefits - are being actively used to be released to show the current impact of EU migration on the UK economy and labour market.
MPs have been pushing for information about the number of EU nationals who have paid income tax and NI and received benefits over the last year to be published, as well as information about the nationalities of new NI applicants over the past four years.
Andrew Tyrie, the Conservative MP who chairs the Commons Treasury Select Committee, said he now expected to receive the data by the end of the month, saying it was "late but a good deal better than never".
"This has been obtained as a result of a good deal of persistence," he said.
Jonathan Portes, from the National Institute of Economic and Social Research - who first requested the information - said it would show how many EU nationals getting NI numbers in the past four years had remained and what economic contribution they made vis-a-vis the cost to the taxpayer.
"What we are going to find out how many of those are still active - and by active I mean are they claiming benefits or, more likely, are they paying tax?" he told BBC Radio 4's Today.
"The government's computer systems can tell us but it is that information that they have so far been very reluctant to release."
Ministers have sought to explain the discrepancy between the ONS and the NI figures by arguing many workers applying for National Insurance numbers are only in the UK for short-term work.
Downing Street said the prime minister had been pushing for HMRC to issue "greater information" on NI numbers.
Lin Homer, the chief executive of the HMRC, said the data and tax authority's analysis of it would be published as part of or alongside other ONS figures.
"We are working closely with ONS and will be providing our data and analysis to them once it has been compiled to allow them to combine it with their own data, analysis and quality assurance work and thereby produce a fuller picture," she said.
According to the British Labour Force Survey, there are now two million EU nationals in the UK workforce, a sharp rise on four years ago.
The Conservatives have consistently missed their target of reducing net migration - the difference between the number of people leaving and arriving - in the UK to below 100,000.
The latest figure, for the year to September, was 323,000.
All eight teenagers attend Bethnal Green Academy in Tower Hamlets.
In a decision taken at the High Court, the five girls have been made wards of court and had their passports removed.
The link to the school was revealed after reporters argued it would be in the public interest.
The judge, Mr Justice Hayden, had made an order saying the five girls could not be identified at the High Court in London.
He made a ruling allowing the school to be named at a follow-up hearing in the Family Division of the High Court.
Journalists argued that parents in Tower Hamlets considering schools for their children had a "right to know" whether the three missing teenagers and the five grounded girls went to the same school.
Barrister Christopher Barnes, for Tower Hamlets Council, and barrister Jennifer Carter-Manning, for the Metropolitan Police, argued against naming the school attended by the five girls.
They said revealing the name would pose a risk of the teenagers' identities being revealed - and said the girls could suffer.
However the point was made that staff and pupils at the academy were already likely to know who the five pupils were.
Revealing the name of the school to members of the public outside the school "community" would not create a significant risk of the girls being identified, it was argued.
Mr Justice Hayden ruled in favour of the press.
The five girls - two aged 15 and three aged 16 - were barred from travel after showing an interest in going to Syria.
Mr Justice Hayden made the move to bar travel following an application from Tower Hamlets social services officials.
He was told that social workers had raised concerns that the girls might flee to areas controlled by Islamic State (IS) and he said sometimes the law had to "intervene to protect young people from themselves".
The judge has continued to analyse the girls' cases at further hearings - and has heard evidence from counter-terrorism specialists at the Metropolitan Police.
A number of adults involved in their care have also had their passports seized.
There was evidence to suggest family members in the case had not been "full and frank" with social services, the judge said, and that the girls were becoming "more radicalised".
In mid-February police raised concerns following the disappearance of Kadiza Sultana, 16, Shamima Begum, 15, and Amira Abase, 15, from their homes in east London.
Shamima used the passport of her 17-year-old sister to leave the UK, police have said.
The three girls were friends and pupils at Bethnal Green Academy.
A fourth girl from the same school, Sharmeena Begum, 15, from Bethnal Green, left about two months before the three girls.
All four teenagers are thought to be in Raqqa - the Syrian city where IS has its headquarters.
About 300,000 people in Northern Ireland are deaf or have hearing difficulties.
And an organisation that supports them is pressing for sign language legislation, making it a top priority in the general election campaign.
It is something that the British Deaf Association has demanded since 2001.
On Wednesday night, the organisation held a hustings in Belfast, with dozens of people attending the Question Time style event with the five main Northern Ireland parties.
Sign language interpreters were on stage to translate for deaf audience members, and a translator spoke on behalf of deaf people who wanted to ask a question.
Some of the deaf people at the event said that when parties come to their door to canvass, there's no way for them to engage.
That's because parties don't have sign language interpreters with them, nor British sign language interpretations of their manifestos.
British Deaf Association member Brian Symington told the hustings that sign language was a "language of need".
It deserved legislation to be prioritised over an Irish or Ulster-Scots act, he said, as many people who use it learn it through necessity rather than choice.
After the event, Colette Blair and Eamonn McCaffrey, who are both deaf, spoke to the BBC with the help of a sign language translator.
Colette said a sign language act, similar to what has already been introduced in Scotland, would "transform" her life and the lives of other deaf people.
"In education settings, in terms of access to the curriculum and if we want to have interpreters for meetings, we need to know what's going on," she said.
"Speaking as a mum who's tried to work for my child going through the system, we need to have it in law."
Eamonn, who teaches sign language, said he wants to see it taught in schools.
"Everyone learns German and French but they never use it again in their life," he said.
"People who would learn sign language here would have the opportunity to use it and speak to deaf people here in Northern Ireland."
Both Colette and Eamonn said the hustings was their only real chance to engage in debate around the general election.
"My neighbours talk to each other about politics - I don't get the chance to just chat to people, that's why tonight's so important," said Colette.
Wendy Newbrauner is a mum of three children who are all deaf, and she said it's been a real struggle for her family.
"The parties need to look at how to make lives easier for parents of deaf children," she said.
"It is a continuous fight to access services and support that are vital for their everyday lives and to make their lives easier."
Eamonn added that he and others like him are prepared to keep fighting to make sure sign language gets the recognition it deserves.
"We are a determined people - we will keep going.
"We have to think of the future generations coming through - they need a better future."
Facing a third election in 13 months, the TUV is feeling "the pinch in terms of finances", according to leader Jim Allister.
His decision to field a single candidate in this election was a strategic one, with one eye firmly on the future.
"There's the prospect of another assembly election in the autumn, so strategically we decided we'd preserve some of our resources for that," said Mr Allister.
"We're fighting in our heartland of North Antrim - I regret that we're not fighting wider than that."
Mr Allister was on the campaign trail with Ulster Unionist Tom Elliott in Fermanagh and South Tyrone this week, and in spite of his rasping criticism of the party in the past he saw no contradiction in joining its canvass.
That's because the battle for the constituency is on a "knife-edge".
"Not just unionists but democrats would want to see the election of somebody who's prepared to do the job and do it well as Tom Elliott has already done," he said.
"My presence there was a conscious demonstration of unionist unity in support of an agreed unionist candidate, far in preference to the return of somebody who wouldn't even go to represent the people.
"That's what abstentionism is - it's claiming to be an MP but doing it under false pretences."

A brace from Matt Banahan and a Kyle Eastmond try put the hosts in control, but they ended the first half with 13 men as Tom Youngs replied.
Second-half tries from Peter Stringer, George Ford and Anthony Watson sealed Bath's passage to Twickenham as Banahan completed his hat-trick late on.
The Blue, Black and Whites will face Saracens in the final on 30 May.
Leicester, the 10-time Premiership champions who reached nine consecutive finals between 2005 and 2013, dominated territory in the first half at the Rec but were undone by Bath's decisive attacking.
The hosts took the lead in the second minute through Banahan but Freddie Burns missed two penalties as he looked to reply for the Tigers; skewing his first attempt wide and then seeing his second come back off the post.
The fly-half's third strike from the tee was successful but Bath hit back immediately through Banahan's second try.
Bath scored for a third time when Semesa Rokoduguni brushed past Vereniki Goneva and chipped ahead for Eastmond to score.
With Tigers camped on the Bath line, Anthony Watson and Leroy Houston were sin-binned in quick succession for infringements, and Leicester brought themselves back into the game on the stroke of half-time through Tom Youngs.
However, their hopes of a comeback faltered as Burns and Tommy Bell missed second-half penalties either side of a lengthy stoppage in play which saw Tigers full-back Niall Morris stretchered off with an ankle injury.
Bath continued to soak up pressure and then increased their lead as Francois Louw broke through and set up veteran scrum-half Stringer, playing his last home game before his summer move to Sale.
Ford, who put in a near-perfect kicking display, Banahan and Watson then ran in simple tries late on to give Bath an emphatic victory.
Bath head coach Mike Ford:
"We were so clinical in the first half - the attack was outstanding.
"The boys kept their composure and once the bench came on and we got that fourth try, the game was over.
"I thought Leicester played better than the scoreboard suggested.
"We would be stupid to change unless it is absolutely a monsoon next Saturday. Saracens will know what's coming - they are an excellent kick-chase side.
"My job with this young side is to keep them pressure-free, make them have fun and enjoy it and go out and do what they do."
Leicester director of ruby Richard Cockerill:
"I have no complaints about the result.
"We controlled the game for large parts, we just didn't have enough firepower to get over the line.
"The penalty count was horrendous against Bath, but every time we got within five or six metres of the line, the referee was quite lenient on offences.
"To have only two guys binned and not be under the sticks for a penalty try was frustrating, but that's life.
"Once they got away from us, they were away and we had no way of clawing that back."

Ismail Shukri told BBC Newsnight that the majority of IS fighters in the city of Sirte are now foreigners - from Tunisia, Egypt, Sudan, Algeria, Iraq and Syria.
"They view Libya as a safe haven," he said.

Nazir Afzal said headteachers were "struggling" to offer advice to parents who did not know where to get help.
Two London heads had told him they were "scared" some pupils could flee during the Easter holidays, Mr Afzal said.
More than 500 Britons are believed to have joined IS in Syria and Iraq.
Mr Afzal, who stepped down this week as chief prosecutor for north-west England, said two headteachers had told him that "more than a dozen" parents had approached them since February to express fears about their children being radicalised.
Mr Afzal told BBC Radio 5 Live: "The message simply was: 'We don't want to get the police involved, we don't want to criminalise them, what do we do?'" he said.
He said the teachers did not know where to send the children or where to direct parents.
"They are worried that some of their children and some of the people they have care over will not be there when they return from the Easter break - and that must worry us all."
The concerns were "very, very real", Mr Afzal said, adding that teenagers were being lured by IS propaganda.
"You have got a situation where the boys want to be like them [the militants] and the girls want to be with them."
He called for an "army of young people and children" to be given training and talk to pupils.
Mr Afzal said "we must do more" to stop children becoming radicalised, comparing the process of radicalisation to sexual grooming.
"In extremist grooming, which is what we are dealing with here, they manipulate them by telling them there is a better place and a better life than what you have at the moment.
"They distance them from their family and friends, and then they take them and make it look like there is some better world that they will go to."
In February, three schoolgirls from Bethnal Green Academy in east London - Shamima Begum, Amira Abase and Kadiza Sultana - disappeared from their homes and flew to Turkey.
They are believed to have crossed into Syria and joined IS.
It is understood they followed another 15-year-old girl from the same school - since named as Sharmeena Begum - who travelled to Syria in December.
Last month a High Court judge confiscated the passports of four other pupils at the school after concerns were raised by Tower Hamlets Council.
A match was found for Joel Picker-Spence, but it was too late and he died shortly before his seventh birthday in 2008.
His mother continued the Join for Joel campaign even after her son's death.
Since then, 14 people have contacted her saying they have donated stem cells after hearing about Joel's story.
These people were among the hundreds and possibly thousands who have joined stem cell donor registers after hearing about the campaign.
Most people who join the registers will not go on to donate their stem cells, as the odds of being a match for someone within five years of signing up is only 1 in 900.
Joel's mother Ann-Marie Spence, from Farndon in Nottinghamshire, said she never imagined she would still be campaigning so many years after her son's death.
"Through this alone we've potentially saved 14 people's lives, which those 14 people wouldn't have got if we hadn't carried on doing Join for Joel," she said.
"We've made a difference to so many people's lives."
Source: Anthony Nolan
The Anthony Nolan register said more than 200 potential donors had joined its register after signing up at Join for Joel events, and more had joined online.
The organisation only accepts people aged 16-30, but Joel's mother said people had also signed up to alternative registers as a result of the campaign.
Helen Billam, from Anthony Nolan, said: "Joel's family and friends should be really proud of everyone they have inspired to take this potentially life-saving action."
Donors who have already saved lives include data analyst Alan Fisher, who joined the register after hearing about Joel's story on BBC Radio Nottingham.
"It's not going to cause any lasting damage to me and somebody else gets an opportunity to carry on living, so it's a pretty small price to pay I think," he said in 2014.
He later discovered the recipient was a boy about the same age as Joel.
Chorley Hospital in Lancashire will be downgraded to an urgent care service, a move that will "put lives at risk", the area's MP has claimed.
MP Lindsay Hoyle blamed "bad management".
Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust said there were "no other safe options" due to a shortage of doctors.
It has been unable to secure additional locum doctors, making staffing the emergency department "increasingly difficult", it said.
A&E delays reach new record level
Chorley Hospital has eight of the 14 doctors it needs and can therefore only staff less than half the hours required.
Consultants have been working extra shifts to cover the staff rota, but "this is not sustainable and this approach is beginning to affect our ability to cover the consultant rota", the trust said.
Ambulances will take patients to Royal Preston Hospital or other hospitals from Monday, the trust said.
The problem with central diktats is that they can have unintended consequences in an organisation as large as the NHS.
When ministers in England last year announced they were going to cap how much hospitals could pay agency staff they felt they had found a solution to a factor increasingly cited as a cause of the financial problems engulfing the health service.
But the temporary downgrading of Chorley's A&E unit suggests it merely tackles the symptoms of the problem rather than the causes.
Chorley is unlikely to be the only site struggling like this - in fact there are suggestions some are playing fast and loose with the cap rules to stay afloat.
In November last year, a cap on spending on NHS agency staff came into force in England to save £1bn over the next three years.
It meant by April, NHS trusts will not be able to pay agency staff such as doctors and nurses more than 55% for a shift than a permanent member of staff.
From Monday, the emergency department at Chorley will be temporarily replaced by an urgent care service until the staffing crisis is resolved.
Jessica Knight, who was in hospital for five to six months after she was stabbed, said: "The A&E at Chorley was a major point of my recovery. One of my wounds was in the neck and I might have had a heart attack.
"I was six hours in surgery and had four people working on me. The A&E was critical to my survival.
"If that was to happen now I wouldn't be alive because I might have been taken to a hospital further away."
Professor Mark Pugh, consultant anaesthetist and medical director of the trust, said: "Changing the current service provided at Chorley is a direct response to the immediate and significant staffing problem.
"We simply cannot staff the rotas, and it is an unacceptable risk to patient safety to attempt to provide an emergency department service with no doctors available to see people."
Professor Pugh said they were experiencing great difficulty in recruiting medical staff on a 24/7 basis. "We are actively recruiting today at this minute and as soon as that position allows us to safely open the unit again we will do so at the earliest opportunity," he said.
He said they were recruiting doctors as the pool of doctors they had relied on was no longer available and it was "a national problem."
He said a lot of other departments in the region are "struggling." He said: "We are not beholden on the agency cap that has been nationally imposed. We have gone out to try and recruit these people and they are no longer there."
In a statement, NHS Improvement said: "It is clear that locally, recruitment of a particular speciality of Accident and Emergency staff has proved very challenging at the same time as demand for services has jumped by around 14% compared with previous years.
"While the majority of patients are still being seen at Chorley, more seriously ill people will need to be seen at the trust's other A&E facility, in Preston. "
"An ambulance will be stationed at Chorley Hospital so life-threatening cases can be quickly transferred to Preston, although 41% of patients attending Chorley A&E don't have any diagnostic tests or treatment."
It added: "Patient safety is our and the trust's absolute priority."
Twelve-year-old twin sisters Fitriani Sabatini and Fitriana Sabrina are among the top ranked players in their age group when they appear in tournaments such as the New Armada event in Central Java.
The pair - affectionately known as Ani and Ana by their mother - have been taught at home for a year so they can concentrate on their tennis.
"It was difficult to get the permission to skip classes to go to tournaments," says their mother Yetti "Nur" Mastuti.
"Their teachers were not very understanding."
Nur, and the youngsters' tennis coach father Nursalim sold the family home in Jakarta - and now live in rented accommodation - in order to pay tennis travel costs for the young pair.
At least once a month they compete in tournaments, some of them away from their home city.
The youngsters hope to emulate the Williams sisters, Venus and Serena, who each went on to become the world's number one player.
When I ask who would achieve this feat first, Ani, the older of the two. quips with a big smile, "The big sister first, of course."
But it is a dream that is increasingly hard to achieve for Indonesian players.
Indonesia's economic growth is visible in the sprawling new apartments that dot the Jakarta skyline, and the modern buildings come with sporting facilities not previously available to many Indonesians.
Tennis courts are a common feature.
But the sport is not necessarily more popular today than a few years ago, when Indonesian tennis was a force to be reckoned with, at least regionally.
Yayuk Basuki was Indonesia's biggest tennis star, winning four Asian Games gold medals in the 1980s and 1990s.
She also reached the quarter finals of Wimbledon in 1997, the furthest any Indonesian has ever gone at a Grand Slam event.
Later that year she also become the highest-ever WTF ranked tennis player from Indonesia, reaching number 19.
Today she runs the Yayuk Basuki Tennis Academy, teaching more than 150 under-18-year-olds the fundamentals of the game.
She claims her school charges less than others in Jakarta, because she wants to give everyone a chance to play.
Yayuk's school has trouble finding affordable facilities to use. There are no free public tennis courts in Indonesia.
Even government facilities charge fees, and Yayuk says the fees go up every year.
"We're not asking for free facilities," Yayuk said. "But if I can subsidise kids who are not wealthy enough to pay, why can't the government also subsidise if they have good facilities?"
The situation means tennis remains known as a sport for the wealthy in the country.
Most children who pick up tennis at a young age come from the upper middle class, who have access to a court at home, or whose family can afford to put them in a club.
However, the trouble for Indonesia is that the majority of the privileged children are not interested in pursuing tennis in the way that twins Ana and Ani are.
Their drive saw the twins win the doubles at the the New Armada tournament, and in the singles Ani was the losing finalist, and Ana reached the semis.
Private tennis instructor Alex Santoso sees a lot of potential in some of his students.
But he says those from richer families do not want to become professionals, as there is no guarantee they can "make a lot of money" by becoming a top-ranked male ATP or female WTA player.
And he claims that with the current competition and development programmes in Indonesia "it's impossible to get there".
The Indonesian Tennis Association, known as Pelti, is the governing body of tennis in the country.
Many Indonesians who are involved in tennis criticise Pelti for neglecting the development of young players, which has led to the talent drain in the last few years.
Its chairman Maman Wirjawan admits that there is a lot of work to be done, but refuses to take the blame.
"It's not only the government's job. The government has many problems as well. So we have to support the government. We have to help find ways to build sport in this country," he says.
Since taking on the leadership of Pelti in 2012 he says he has been working on a sustainable programme to develop young talent.
"We start from junior [level] - we are now planning to have tournaments in many cities, especially big cities, [in] 10 to 15 cities throughout the nation," he explains. "We will hold it on a monthly basis for the next five years."
Wirjawan's programme can only succeed with corporate sponsorship.
But he is a brother of Indonesia's Trade Minister Gita Wirjawan, and has extensive experience in port and oil and gas businesses.
Many hope that his wide network can help secure the support tennis needs.
That will give much comfort to potential talents like twins Ani and Ana who will be able to play more matches in their home town and improve their skills.
But unless and until that happens, the sacrifices made by the twins and their family may be high-risk, and the outlook for Indonesian tennis remains bleak.
The birds, also known as sea eagles, were absent from the UK for nearly 60 years until a re-introduction programme began in 1975.
The first young white-tailed eagles from Norway were released on Rum.
A total of 82 young eagles were released over 10 years on the island, with the first wild chick fledging on Mull in 1985.
The re-introduction programme was run by RSPB Scotland and Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH), formerly the Natural Conservancy Council.
More young eagles were released under the programme in Wester Ross between 1993 and 1998 while further releases took place in Fife from 2007 to 2012, through a partnership with Forestry Commission Scotland, including in the National Forest Estate.
The 100th breeding pair nested on Hoy in Orkney, the first white-tailed eagles to nest in Orkney for 142 years, it was revealed on Thursday evening's edition of BBC Springwatch.
RSPB Scotland director Stuart Housden said: "The 100th breeding pair marks a huge milestone for the re-introduction of white-tailed eagles, and to reach it in this important anniversary year for the programme makes it even more special.
"The success of bringing white-tailed eagles back to Scotland over the last 40 years owes a great deal to the partners involved, as well as the support of Police Scotland, landowners, farmers, local community groups and organisations, and to Norway, who gifted the young eagles.
"It's fantastic to see how these magnificent birds have captured the public's imagination and that the sight of a white-tailed eagle soaring in the Scottish sky is no longer a thing of the past."
White-tailed eagles became extinct in the UK due to widespread persecution.
They bred in England and the Isle of Man, and across Scotland and Ireland, but by 1900 only a handful of eyries remained, all in Scotland.
The last known nesting attempt was on Skye in 1916 and in 1918 the last British white-tailed eagle was shot in Shetland.
The white-tailed eagles on Hoy have been seen in the area every spring and summer since 2013, and are both thought to be young birds aged between four and five years.
This was their first known nesting attempt and although they were unsuccessful in raising chicks this year, the RSPB said that the pair have gained vital experience for future nesting attempts.
Susan Davies, chief executive of SNH, said everyone in Scotland should be proud of this "great conservation achievement".
She added: "Given their geographical spread, there's growing chances of seeing these magnificent birds in your local area.
"It's particularly wonderful that the birds have spread so far that we have the 100th pair nesting in Orkney, now restored to an area where sea eagles reigned so many years ago. This is one of nature's brilliant success stories."
Known as flying barn doors due to their 8ft wingspan, white-tailed eagles are the largest bird of prey in the UK.
They form monogamous, lifelong pair bonds and display a spectacular talon-grappling aerial courtship display during the breeding season.
He said resisting demands for Cardiff and Edinburgh assemblies would have increased demand for independence.
But Mr Blair said he did not understand in the late 1990s the need to maintain cultural unity between the different parts of the United Kingdom.
The admissions are contained in a new book, 'British Labour Leaders'.
Interviewed by the book's editors, ex-cabinet minister Charles Clarke and University of East Anglia politics lecturer Toby James, Mr Blair said: "I did feel that we made a mistake on devolution.
"We should have understood that, when you change the system of government so that more power is devolved, you need to have ways of culturally keeping England, Scotland and Wales very much in sync with each other. We needed to work even stronger for a sense of UK national identity.
"But I don't accept the idea that we should never have done devolution. If we had not devolved power, then there would have been a massive demand for separation - as there was back in the 60s and 70s."
The book is published on 8 September.
Last week, Yuval Steinitz became the first Israeli minister to visit Turkey since 2010, for talks with his Turkish counterpart, Energy Minister Berat Albayrak.
The visit signalled a significant turning-point in relations as they agreed to deepen co-operation and discussed the possibility of building a natural gas pipeline from Israel to Turkey.
Hours later, Turkish presidential spokesman Ibrahim Kalin said the two nations would be exchanging ambassadors within 10 days.
Bilateral relations went into the deep freeze in May 2010 when Israeli commandos stormed the Mavi Marmara, a ship that was part of an aid flotilla trying to breach the blockade of Gaza. Ten Turkish activists on board were killed.
It has taken several rounds of secret talks and negotiations for the two countries to get to this point.
"This rapprochement is based on realpolitik and on a realistic evaluation of the situation on the ground," says Ahmet Kasim Han from Turkey's Kadir Has University.
"There is a challenging environment for all the countries in the Middle East, and no-one has the luxury to resist co-operation when there is a mutual interest," he argues.
For Ahmet Kasim Han, both countries are concerned by Iran's role in Syria and want an end to the conflict. They also share similar views on Saudi Arabia.
"The two countries' interests overlap to a great extent. And energy deals also form a very positive and constructive opportunity for both," he says.
Israel and Turkey announced in June that they would normalise ties, and last month Israel paid $20m (£16m) to the families of the victims of the Mavi Marmara raid. Israel already yielded to Turkey's demand for an official apology in 2013.
In addition to compensation, Israel agreed to Turkey's humanitarian presence in Gaza, though it has not agreed to another of Ankara's preconditions - the lifting of the Gaza blockade.
Ever since Israeli made significant finds of natural gas in 2009, there have been dreams of transferring it from offshore fields such as Leviathan and Tamar.
Energy Minister Steinitz said Israel had so far discovered around 900bn cubic metres of natural gas, with a potential further 2,200bn to be explored.
"This is a lot of gas, much more than we can consume. Exporting gas to our neighbours in the region or to Europe through different pipelines is of course very important," he said.
Israel is building regional energy co-operation links with Egypt, Jordan, Cyprus and Greece, but sees Turkey as an important potential partner.
Sir Michael Leigh, an expert on Mediterranean gas and a senior fellow at the German Marshall Fund in the US, thinks the reason this project is back on the table is because of the normalising of Israeli-Turkey relations.
"The two governments are eager to find ways to make this normalisation more solid and to translate it also into concrete forms of economic co-operation. From a political point of view, it's very attractive to designate energy as an area with possible future co-operation," he says.
At the moment, Turkey has few major gas sources, with Russia supplying around 56% of its overall needs.
Dr Han thinks although the crisis between Russia and Turkey following the downing of a Russian jet in November 2015 has been resolved, it had a sobering effect on Turkey and threw its energy dependence into sharp relief.
"Turkey needs to diversify its energy sources. Of course, there might also be money to be made for Turkey once it becomes an energy hub," he says.
Experts say there are two possible routes that a pipeline could take from Israel to Turkey: one through Lebanese and Syrian waters, and the other through Cyprus's waters.
The Syrian war rules out the first option and the Cyprus route would also be difficult to achieve, given Turkey's 1974 invasion of the island after a Greek-inspired coup, and its subsequent division.
"As long as the problem of the division of Cyprus remains unresolved, it is most unlikely that the government of Cyprus will give its consent to this route. Until there is a settlement, this project in reality cannot go ahead," Michael Leigh argues.
Cyprus aims to heal its great divide
Israel is searching for energy partners to develop its natural gas fields and make them economically feasible.
"Israel needs to supply international markets and monetise the gas as soon as possible. It is very important that the pipeline is constructed quickly," says Dr Han.
"Turkey will be the most effective and cheapest route, and it will also be an attractive market with its own demand. So it is natural for Israel to prefer Turkey," he argues.
Michael Leigh agrees that the Turkish option would benefit Israel, especially if relations improve. "The pipeline to Turkey would be relatively easy to construct and the political uncertainties in Turkey are not as great as the political risks in Egypt," he says.
Although the process of rapprochement has started, the potential for future disagreement is never far away.
Israel is unlikely to forget President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's bitter condemnation of its actions, labelling it "a terrorist state that massacres innocent children". He has even accused Israel's government of "keeping Hitler's spirit alive".
Turkey's backing for the Palestinian cause could also prove problematic. It has been a supporter of the militant Islamist group Hamas, which runs Gaza.
"During the 1990s, Israeli-Turkey relations were maintained by the co-operation of the two armies' generals. Now businessmen will carry that responsibility," says Dr Han.
"Even though diplomatic ties were frozen, Israeli ports were always open to Turkish goods and services in the last five years. Pragmatism is an important parameter in Israeli-Turkish relations.
"But ties between the two countries are very dependant on their domestic politics - and that could ruin them. There is always that risk," he warns.
Judge Joseph Bruzzese Jr was shot several times just after 08:00 local time (12:00 GMT) in Steubenville on Monday morning.
Sheriff Fred Abdalla told reporters the attacker and the judge exchanged about five shots each.
A court officer also fired several shots at the suspect.
The Jefferson County prosecutor identified the attacker as Nathaniel Richmond, but said they had not yet identified a motive.
Mr Richmond is the father of Ma'Lik Richmond, a high school football player whose rape conviction made national headlines in the 2012.
Prosecutor Jane Hanlin said there is no connection between Judge Bruzzese and that rape case.
Judge Bruzzese, who has been on the bench at the Jefferson County courthouse since 1998, was airlifted to hospital in Pittsburgh to undergo emergency surgery.
The Steubenville city manager says that the judge is out of surgery and "doing fine".
Sheriff Abdalla said he had advised the 65-year-old judge several years ago to carry a firearm during his commute.
"This individual laid in wait, for our judge," the sheriff told reporters hours after the shootout.
"It just hurts. First thing on a Monday morning.
"You have a judge shot in front of his courthouse, and that affected me. This was ambush and attempted murder on our judge."
Police have also detained the driver who brought the attacker to the courthouse, but say they believe he did not know what his passenger was plotting.
The sheriff added that both men had served time in prison.
"He's shooting and shooting," Sherriff Abdalla said at a news conference. "He's right up to the judge.
"And that's when he fires another round and he shoved the judge over and then he takes off running towards his vehicle."
The courthouse has been closed for the rest of the day and for Tuesday as detectives process the crime scene.
The state governor has been updated on the situation and the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation is leading the investigation.
The issue - dubbed the West Lothian question - is being discussed during a House of Commons debate about further devolution to Scotland and UK-wide constitutional change following September's independence referendum.
Currently MPs from the devolved nations can vote on English laws, even if they do not affect their own countries.
So what would the changes actually mean for Wales?
Prof Richard Wyn Jones, director of the Wales Governance Centre at Cardiff University, explains.
There are some tricky technical issues around implementation of English votes for English laws, but assuming they can be overcome then here are two obvious reasons why people in Wales should care.
Firstly, implementing the change would reduce the role of Welsh MPs at Westminster.
It is not clear that this is a huge concern for the Welsh electorate. The recent ICM/BBC poll suggested that a narrow majority in Wales actually support preventing Welsh MPs voting on England-only matters.
But it is a matter that some of the MPs involved care passionately about.
Secondly, any moves towards recognising England as a distinct unit within the UK would be simplified if the boundary between Wales and England became more clearly delineated.
At the moment it remains significantly more fuzzy than the England-Scotland legal and administrative border.
So, for example, it seems clear that English votes for English laws would be easier to implement if Wales were to move to a "reserved powers" model of devolution (as now supported by all the parties in Wales) - with the law clearly setting out what is reserved to Westminster and what is not to avoid legal disputes.
It is also likely that any move towards the England-only votes would be another nail in the coffin of the unified England and Wales legal jurisdiction.
When David Cameron raised the spectre of English votes for English laws in the immediate aftermath of the Scottish independence referendum, he was responding to several different developments.
A widespread belief among the English population that their country is not fairly treated in the aftermath of devolution is clearly one of them. A sense shared by many Tory members and backbench MPs.
Supporting the change in voting is also part of the prime minister's response to the growing threat of UKIP.
Quite simply, Cameron cannot afford to allow UKIP to be the only party articulating English resentment about their place in the post-devolution UK.
But it's also pretty clear that talking about England makes the current Labour leadership very uncomfortable, and that is also something that will not have escaped the prime minister's attention.
Labour is torn on the English question.
On the one hand there are some English Labour MPs - John Denham is a good example - who have been arguing for a long time that the party needs to embrace a distinctive English agenda.
On this reading, Labour simply cannot afford to be left behind on this issue.
But on the other hand, many Welsh and Scottish Labour MPs are vitriolically opposed to any development that would lead to a diminution in their influence.
At the moment it appears that Ed Miliband's instinct is to side with the latter.
But given the lack of support for Labour's alternative, namely stronger regional government within England, the party may eventually find itself forced to take England seriously as a political community in itself.
A lot depends on the actual form of English votes for English laws implemented - it's a term that covers a very wide spectrum of possible arrangements.
But clearly, their influence at Westminster would be reduced.
Some might argue that the number of roles that Welsh MPs might play in government would also be reduced.
My own view, however, is that we've reached that point already.
Even now, is it really possible to imagine a Welsh MP becoming health secretary in a UK government given that health has already been devolved to Wales? Probably not.
But certainly not after any scheme of English votes for English laws were put in place.
Junior doctors walked out at 08:00 BST on Tuesday, returning at 17:00 BST. A second day of strike action is due to begin at 08:00 BST on Wednesday.
A number of hospitals told the BBC services had run smoothly - with some saying they were quieter than normal.
But there are fears demand could surge once the strikes are over.
Meanwhile, figures released by NHS England showed 78% of junior doctors due in work did not turn up.
NHS England's Dr Anne Rainsberry praised the hard-work of staff who provided care.
"This is an unprecedented situation and staff across the NHS have made herculean efforts to ensure continued safe services for patients, which is always our top priority."
In preparation for the stoppage, hospitals cancelled more than 100,000 routine appointments and nearly 13,000 non-emergency operations.
This has allowed them to redeploy consultants, middle-grade doctors and nurses into emergency services, such as accident and emergency, maternity and intensive care units.
GPs were also asked to keep more appointments than normal free for last-minute urgent calls, and NHS 111 staffing has been boosted to allow it to deal with extra calls.
NHS England had likened it to planning a "military" operation.
The planning seems to have worked, with no hospital triggering an emergency escalation procedure that would allow them, via the NHS England and the British Medical Association, to call striking junior doctors back into work if they felt they could not cope.
Ipswich Hospital chief executive Nick Hulme said his trust had been coping well - and more doctors than expected had come into work, 23 out of 122, suggesting an all-out strike had been a "step too far" for some.
But he said both sides needed to come back together to resolve the dispute "quickly", saying it was getting "really difficult" for the NHS to cope with the backlog of postponed operations.
Leeds Teaching Hospital NHS Trust reported everything was "running smoothly" during the final hours of the walkout, while Doncaster and Bassetlaw Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust said it had not seen "undue pressure", although it did "anticipate a surge in demand" once the strikes were over.
On Tuesday afternoon, Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust in Surrey said: "Our services are not under undue pressure so far. Contingency plans are going smoothly."
Dr Cliff Mann, president of the Royal College of Emergency Medicine, said demand at his hospital trust - Taunton and Somerset - had been quieter than normal and he was "absolutely" sure lives had not been put at risk because of the cover provided by other doctors and nurses.
Earlier, Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt said the walkout was a "very, very bleak day" for the NHS, but once again stressed the government would not back down, saying no union had the right to stop a government trying to act on a manifesto promise.
Wednesday's walkout also lasts from 08:00 BST to 17:00 BST.
The dispute is over a new contract that the government announced in February would be imposed from the summer. This followed the breakdown of talks between the two sides in January.
The contract makes it cheaper to rota doctors on at weekends - something ministers say is needed to improve care on a Saturday and Sunday.
The BMA has argued it is unfair and the NHS needs extra investment to pay for seven-day services.
Before this week's strikes, there had been four walkouts but all involved emergency care being covered by junior doctors.

The rise at Royal Preston Hospital coincides with the downgrading of Chorley Hospital's emergency department to an urgent care centre in April.
In the month following, waiting times rose inside and outside the hospital.
The trust that runs both hospitals denies the situation at Preston's A&E is linked to Chorley's closure.
A month after the downgrading of Chorley, the overall attendance at Royal Preston went up by more than a quarter compared to May last year from 6,426 to 8,147.
The number of those patients waiting more than an hour in ambulances outside A&E rose from 62 in March to 141 in May.
Once inside the emergency department, 95% of patients are meant to be dealt with in four hours. In May, that figure reached just 82%.
Figures showing the situation at the Royal Preston since May are not available.
The trust's operations director Suzanne Hargreaves said in a statement: "2016 has been an extremely busy year for hospitals.
"We have only seen an average of 13 extra patients a day coming to Preston from the Chorley area."
"We are working closely with the North West Ambulance Service to reduce any delays."
Chairman of Lancashire County Council's health scrutiny committee, Steve Holgate, described the situation as "chaotic" after witnessing nine A&E ambulances waiting at Royal Preston.
He said Chorley's A&E needs to be reinstated or the operating hours of the urgent care centre extended.
"It is no longer a Chorley issue. It is a Lancashire-wide issue and to some extent the north of Manchester with Wigan and Bolton affected.
"When those are under pressure anyway, it is the sort of thing that tips them over the edge. It is putting lives at risk."
The former US president owned the jacket - which was kept by a former Swedish girlfriend - in the 1950s.
The exact valuation will be revealed on Sunday's show, which was filmed at Walmer Castle, in Deal, Kent.
Antiques Roadshow expert Jon Baddeley called the jacket an "iconic piece".
It is now owned by Canon Carl Arvidsson.
A jacket worn by US singer Michael Jackson in his renowned Thriller video sold at auction in California for $1.8m (£1.1m) in 2011.
BBC News takes a look at how other famous items of clothing fared when sold at auction.
He told the Antiques Roadshow the jacket was handed down to him by his father, whose best friend had family connections with Swedish aristocrat Gunilla von Post.
He said: "Gunilla was 21 to 22 and lived in the south of France and then in Paris, and she was JFK's lover before he got married to Jacqueline Bouvier.
"I believe the relationship ended in 1955 or 1956. She kept the jacket.
"Some of her belongings and love letters from JFK were sold recently in America and some of his goods were left in the apartment."
Antiques expert Mr Baddeley said: "Without the provenance, you're not going to get the dollar signs, but that seems a very strong link… in America or anywhere world-wide, it is an iconic piece.
"The story's everything, please write it down. I feel confident the market will pay that price."
The jacket will appear on Antiques Roadshow, Sunday 22 November, BBC One, 8.00pm.

Gary managed the Championship side between 2005 and 2010, leading them to promotion from League One and to the second-tier play-off final.
Lee, 34, played under his dad for four years at Ashton Gate.
"He's seen me laughing, seen me crying and he's seen me on the phone all day dealing with agents," said Gary.
"He had a front-row seat to a manager's plight," the 60-year-old told BBC Points West. "The good times, the bad times and how you have to get through it all - and unbelievably it looks like he still wants to be a manager, even after all of that!"
Aged 31, Lee became the youngest manager in the Football League when he took over Oldham Athletic in 2013.
His only other managerial role was at fellow third-tier side Barnsley, who he left to join the Robins on Saturday.
But Gary says Lee, who was in charge of the Latics when they were considering signing convicted rapist Ched Evans, has enough experience to deliver in his new post.
"There was the Ched Evans situation at Oldham and lots of other situations since," said Gary, manager at National League leaders Cheltenham Town. "He has coped with all of that and come through it.
"He is a learner and a listener. He likes to go everywhere where he can learn something - he has been to Barcelona and to Real Madrid.
"He will do it his way and I think his way is a good way. I think it is an exciting time for Lee.
"He is his own man now and that is important. I loved my time at Bristol City. We had our success and it always holds happy memories.
"But Lee knows everything he needs to know but if he asks for advice I will give it to him."

Father-of-two Mark Pilgrim, 48, from Tilehurst, was struck on the eastbound carriageway between Reading and Maidenhead on Friday night.
His death is being treated as murder by Thames Valley Police.
Det Ch Supt Chris Ward said he believed Mr Pilgrim was "ejected" from the vehicle he was travelling in a mile east of Junction 10, towards London.
He added: "We know that at about half past four in the afternoon he was on a bus in Reading but I need to know who he was with, what he was doing and who he was talking with."
A female driver reported hitting a man on the motorway between junctions 10 and 8/9 at about 22:00 BST on Friday. He was declared dead at the scene by paramedics.
A post-mortem examination held on Sunday found Mr Pilgrim had multiple injuries to his head and body, consistent with hitting the ground from a vehicle.
Det Ch Supt Ward said: "Our work so far suggests that Mark was alive until he left the vehicle on the M4 and so we want to hear from anyone who saw anything suspicious on that stretch of motorway before 10pm on Friday.
"We are also trying to trace Mark's final movements on the day of his death, so if you saw Mark on Friday, please get in touch."
The 22-year-old, who plays for Exeter Chiefs, started all five games in the championship, scoring one try.
"At the start of the tournament we said that we wanted to be the best side in Europe," Nowell told BBC Radio Devon.
"To do that you have to win all five games, so to come back and to achieve that is massive for us."
England will take on World Cup semi-finalists Australia in a three-match series in June.
"We want to be the most dominant team in the world," added Nowell.
"The first stage for us was Europe and now it's going to be a massive test going down to Australia in the summer. It's going to be another challenge for us but one that we can look forward to after a good start."
The Cornishman was given a week off following international duty and missed Exeter's Premiership defeat by Saracens, but is set to return to the side when they host Worcester on Saturday.
"The England players have bounced out of the Six Nations on great form, and I think that's fantastic for English rugby," said Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter.
"It's fantastic for this tail end of the Premiership, because you're going to see an awful lot of very good international players playing right at the top of their game."
Normally used to paralyse or kill its prey, the venom also contains a compound that appears to act as long-lasting pain relief.
In research on rats, the compound was still working three days later.
The findings meant it may be possible to create a new pain therapy for patients who had run out of options, the researchers said.
Most medicines for moderate to severe pain, called opioids, work by reducing the perception of pain.
They do this by attaching to specific proteins in the brain and organs of the body, called opioid receptors.
But the Rg1A compound found in the venom of a Conus regius snail, a native of the Caribbean, works in a different way using a new pathway.
Writing in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, scientists from the University of Utah said the compound appeared to have a beneficial effect on parts of the nervous system.
And this could open the door to new opportunities to treat pain, they said.
They said drugs that worked in this way could reduce the use of opioids, such as morphine, which are addictive and can cause a number of serious side-effects.
J Michael McIntosh, professor of psychiatry at the University of Utah Health Sciences, said: "What is particularly exciting about these results is the aspect of prevention.
"Once chronic pain has developed, it is difficult to treat," he said.
"This compound offers a potential new pathway to prevent pain from developing in the first place and offer a new therapy to patients who have run out of options."
In tests on rats, scientists found that those animals treated with a chemotherapy drug that caused them to be hypersensitive to cold and touch, experienced pain - but those also treated with the snail compound did not.
"We found that the compound was still working 72 hours after the injection, still preventing pain," Prof McIntosh said.
The King of rock and roll created endless hits which revolutionised popular music in the 1950s and are still greatly loved by all ages.
In 2016, Presley sold one million albums making him a top earning dead star.
One high-profile fan of the singer is former first minister Lord Trimble.
He began collecting records by the artist in 1959.
"I remember in summertime when you walked past the amusement arcade that had a jukebox, it was always playing I'm All Shook Up," he told the BBC's Good Morning Ulster programme.
"Throughout the summer, the young men of the town who had a high opinion of themselves were playing it endlessly.
"Even in the troubled years of his lifetime when he had some serious health problems, he was capable of producing excellent recordings.
"He had a considerable range in terms of what he could sing - I often say to people, moving from Elvis to Wagner was a frictionless transition!"
From collections to creations, one die-hard Elvis fanatic was so inspired by the King, that he built his very own replica Graceland in Ballyronan, County Londonderry.
Barney Coleman told the BBC: "Elvis is next to God to me in music terms."
A carpenter by trade, Mr Coleman said he looked at the layout of the real Graceland on his computer and based his replica on it.
"I wanted it in his style, I didn't want to make it bigger, smaller or wider," he said.
"A lot of people have driven in and stopped and chatted when I was working on the house.
"It's just a pity I didn't have it built before he died, as I might have been able to invite him over to come and chill out."
Born nine years after Elvis died, Caroline McKnight grew up listening to Elvis' dulcet tones thanks to her dad's love of rock and roll.
"He died before I was born but I still feel like his music is as prominent today as it was then - it's timeless and speaks to fans in a unique way," she said.
"There'll never be another artist like him again.
Londonderry born Caroline enjoys Elvis music so much that she even considered calling her son Presley.
"I was going to call my son Oliver Presley, but my Granny pleaded with me not to do it because she thought that he might get bullied at school.
"I've also got the word Elvis tattooed on my back. I got it done when I was in my 20s.
"When I went in to get it done the tattoo artist spent an hour trying to talk me out of it, but I'd wanted it for so long I went ahead with it.
"Sometimes people will comment about it, but I don't regret it at all."
Ms McKnight's Elvis songs include I Can't Help Falling in Love and Suspicious Minds, which she sang at her dad's sixtieth birthday party.
Stephen McCann not only loves Elvis, but also got an Elvis impersonator to propose to his wife in Belfast's Waterfront Hall.
"She wasn't really expecting it as she's quite a shy person - but it was great," he said.
However Elvis' involvement in the couples wedding did not stop there.
"We travelled to Vegas to get married and my wedding suit was an Elvis costume.
"It took me 25 minutes to get from my hotel room to the wedding car because so many people stopped me and asked for photographs," he said.
"Everyone asks my wife what she wore on our wedding day, and she always says it didn't really matter because she didn't want to upstage me."
The couple also have a dog named Elvis and have turned their downstairs bathroom into a shrine to the King of rock and roll.
"It's filled with books, plates, rings and all sort of paraphernalia - everything Elvis."
It also requires children to have an immunisation card to allow them to go to school.
The law will help the government reach its vaccination target, Health Minister Sarah Achieng Opendi told the BBC.
Some parents and members of a religious cult have refused to allow their children vaccinated, she says.
The government's vaccination campaign targets several life-threatening diseases including polio and meningitis.
In 2015, the World Health Organization estimated that 70 children out of every 1,000 will die before they reached the age of five in Uganda.
Ms Opendi told the BBC Focus on Africa radio programme that 3% of Uganda's children had not been immunised.
During sensitisation campaigns, some children had been found hidden in slums by their parents to avoid the exercise, she said.
Some religious leaders have previously been arrested but could not be charged because there was no specific law, Ms Opendi added.
The cult that refused to immunise their children is known as 666 and was growing, she said.
"It started in a few districts in eastern Uganda, but now it has spread and now we are seeing it all over the country," the minister said.
President Museveni signed the act into law on 10 March, but this has only just been made public.
Ministers are to bring forward changes in Parliament enabling MPs to use the language when the Welsh Grand Committee meets in Westminster.
Currently, MPs can only speak Welsh in the Welsh Affairs select committee.
The UK government had previously rejected calls to overturn rules prohibiting members from speaking Welsh.
The Welsh Grand Committee meets occasionally to discuss issues relevant to Wales and includes its 40 MPs.
It last met in 2016 and MPs have used Welsh when the committee has met in Wales.
Alun Cairns, Secretary of State for Wales, said: "I hope that MPs who can speak Welsh will choose to use this service in order to help promote the Welsh language across Parliament."
Ministers are proposing the change in a motion that will be tabled during government time in the Commons.
The move does not change the rules as they apply to general House of Commons debates.
The cost of translation services - both interpreters and headsets - will be absorbed within Parliament's existing budgets, the UK government said.
Rather than focus on a bombing campaign in Syria, or sending in ground troops, the billionaire offered a more novel, technological strategy: to "close off areas of the internet".
"Isis is using the internet better than we are using the internet, and it was our idea," the 69-year-old entrepreneur told the audience in Las Vegas.
"We should be able to penetrate the internet and find out exactly where Isis is and everything about Isis. "We can do that if we use our good people."
So when asked at the debate exactly how he would achieve this, he told the audience "This is so easy to answer... We should be using our most brilliant minds".
Well who could that be?
"I would certainly be open to closing [the internet] in areas where we are at war with somebody," Trump replied, adding that he did not want terrorists using "our internet."
Sorry, whose internet?
And if it doesn't work? Well, it could all get quite messy.
The background, as if you didn't know, is that the regulator, the Prudential Regulation Authority, determined that Co-op Bank has a £1.5bn shortage of capital - the financial buffer that all banks must have to protect savers and depositors from losses.
There were two causes of that hole.
Most importantly, the previous management of the bank failed, in an almost catastrophic way, to keep tabs on losses being generated by bad loans - most of which were commercial property loans made by Britannia Building Society, and which Co-op inherited when it bought Britannia in 2009.
The second cause of Co-op Bank's weakness is that the regulator has imposed more demanding requirements on all banks for the amount of capital they have to hold.
As I've mentioned before, Co-op Bank is a PLC - a bank with a conventional public company structure - that is owned by a mutual, the sprawling Co-op Group.
Now both Co-op Bank and Co-op Group have new management, led by Co-op Group's chief executive, Euan Sutherland.
They can't be held responsible for the disaster at Co-op Bank - and in fact they are on the point of setting up an independent commission whose job will be to evaluate how it all went so badly wrong, and why it took so long for the bank's capital hole to be spotted.
As I have said a few times before, the previous executives of Co-op Group and Co-op Bank, and the erstwhile regulator, Financial Services Authority, have a lot of explaining to do.
The current top regulator of banks, Andrew Bailey, chief executive of the Prudential Regulation Authority, has told MPs that at the end of 2011 the FSA instructed the Co-op Bank to strengthen its capital.
But that is not remotely the same as saying the FSA knew that the Co-op Group had roughly half as much capital as it needs - which is what we now know.
If the FSA didn't know about that yawning capital gap, why didn't it know?
And if it did know, why didn't it take evasive action at that very moment - which would have been its duty - to replace management and fill the capital hole?
The failure of the regulator to act till only a few weeks ago is altogether odd.
What about current Co-op executives? Well, to state the obvious, they have to determine how to rescue Co-op Bank.
What they have had to balance are the interests of Co-op Bank's creditors - its depositors and holders of assorted bonds and preference shares - and the interests of the Co-op Group's many millions of members.
Now it is clear to Mr Sutherland and his team that Co-op Group could not afford to find the full £1.5bn that Co-op Bank was told by the PRA that it needs to raise within just a few short months.
Or, to be more precise, it might have been able to find all that, but at too great a price - they calculated - for Co-op Group's millions of members.
For example, a fire-sale disposal of Co-op's funeral homes or pharmacies would have been at a discount price that would have hobbled the group to a serious and possibly irreparable extent.
So, on the basis of legal advice, they concluded that their duty to Co-op Group's members precluded them from taking on the full cost of rescuing the bank.
As I mentioned on Tuesday, this may seem a bit counter-intuitive, since the owner or owners of a bank (or any other organisation) would normally be presumed to be the rescuers of that bank, until all their resources are exhausted.
But apparently Co-op Group's duty of care to its members meant it could not conduct the rescue alone.
So what were the alternatives?
Well, the Co-op Group gave serious thought to admitting that Co-op Bank had failed, and putting it into a process called "resolution" - where the Bank of England would have temporarily taken over the ownership and stewardship of the bank, to keep it functioning and come up with a scheme to protect depositors.
The best way of understanding "resolution" is as a version for banks of the "administration" process that companies go into when they can't repay creditors: it was designed after the great crash of 2008 to take account of the importance that banks play in the economy and the imperative of minimising losses (if any) for depositors.
Co-op Group's board decided that it would wish to avoid putting Co-op Bank into resolution, if it possibly could, so as to avoid increased damage to the "Co-op" brand.
Lustre would not have been added to the reputation of the co-operative movement for it to be blamed for the first big bank failure since the 2008 financial crisis.
So Co-op Group came up with a compromise, under which it would put £1bn of new capital into Co-op Bank, and £500m would come from writing off and converting into equity capital some of what is owed by Co-op Bank to holders of subordinated debt and preference shares (see my blog of Tuesday for more on this).
The various forms of subordinated debt are loans to Co-op Bank that are in theory higher risk than other loans to Co-op Bank, and they pay a higher rate of interest to compensate for this risk.
Preference shares are shares that pay a fixed rather than variable dividend, and - unlike ordinary shares - they normally don't have voting rights.
Holders of the subordinated debt are largely investment institutions, but they also include thousands of retail investors.
Co-op Group's management regarded heaping losses on the holders of subordinated debt and preference shares as fair, given that, if Co-op Bank were to go into resolution, these investors would almost certainly incur much bigger losses: under the resolution rules, these creditors would have the bank's losses foisted on them, to protect depositors, and no cushion of new equity capital provided by Co-op Group.
The Prudential Regulation Authority approved this rescue plan. In fact, the regulators relished it - because foisting losses on holders of subordinated debt, what is called a "bail in" as opposed to a "bail out" in the hideous jargon, is the stuff that makes the regulatory community drool with excitement.
The point is that if losses can be foisted on providers of subordinated debt, then banks that get into difficulties can be rescued without taxpayers having to inject money, or at least much less money than in 2008.
So that is the bold and exciting experiment being conducted at Co-op Bank, the regulators' wet dream of a bank rescue in which private-sector investors do all the heavy lifting.
But, as is apparent in the case of the Co-op, there are snags with the bail-in, under current conventions: the bail-in (or what Co-op Group calls a "Liability Management Exercise") will take weeks and months to execute - and, actually, could be rejected by the providers of the subordinated debt.
You presumably don't need telling why rejection by bondholders would be problematic: it would see the Co-op Bank collapse into resolution (or so Co-op Group insists), which (as I have said) would probably see much bigger losses piled on the subordinated debt holders and preference share holders, and create uncertainty for depositors with more than the insured limit of £85,000 in the bank.
So whether they like it or not, and subject to a difficult negotiation over what percentage of Co-op Bank's new shares they get for writing off their loans to the bank, the subordinated debt holders may ultimately agree to the rescue.
However for every week that passes before the rescue is actually completed, depositors with the Co-op have the time and perhaps a nagging desire to take their money out.
That raises the risk that the Co-op would become dependent on emergency funding that would be provided by the Bank of England.
And the Bank of England can only sustain that support without seizing control of Co-op Bank - placing it in resolution - for as long as it remains confident that the hole in the Co-op Bank's capital will be filled, or that Co-op Bank is solvent.
We saw, during the banking crisis of 2007-8, how ruthless the Bank of England can be when it loses confidence in the solvency of a bank.
Or to put it another way, the longer it takes for a private-sector rescue of Co-op Bank to take place, the greater the risk of the patience of regulators being exhausted.
All of which is a meandering way of saying that the bail-in looks like a great idea, but it can be stressful, traumatic and even disastrous if its execution drags on.
The plan in this case is to complete the bail-in, the liability management exercise, by early to mid November.
Given the loyalty of Co-op Bank's customers, that may well be soon enough.
But some might say it is a bit strange and arguably unsatisfactory that the Prudential Regulation Authority has been unable to find a faster timetable for its cherished bail-in.
It may sound like bad news that Co-op Bank has been told by its regulator, the Prudential Regulation Authority, that it must not pay the interest on £110m of debts called perpetual subordinated bonds.
But actually the managers of the bank, and of the bank's owner, Co-op Group, would view it as good news.
Because it reinforces the message to the holders of these bonds, and £1.2bn of other bonds, that the group is in dire straights - and it is in their interest to agree to a rescue deal that would force big losses on them.
What I have learned is that Co-op Group has considered putting its bank into the financial equivalent of administration, called resolution, which is where the bank would in effect be taken over by the Bank of England, to keep it functioning and protect depositors - while forcing potentially much bigger losses on bondholders.
It is to avoid resolution that the Co-op Group has asked bondholders to sign up to what's known as a bail-in, which would see them writing off some of what they are owed and converting some of their debts into shares.
Some bondholders are complaining this isn't fair, and that Co-op Group should bear more of the pain. But Co-op Group says it is doing all it can afford.
As to quite how it got into this mess, the new executives of Co-op have asked Sir Christopher Kelly, the former chair of the committee of standards in public life, to investigate the behaviour of the previous executives.
Stone, 22, is likely to miss the rest of 2016 after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury in June.
He has made 25 first-class appearances, with a bowling average of 30.69.
"Whether he'll want to see all eight, maybe not. But I'm sure he'll pick out some and see what they've got to say," said director of cricket David Ripley.
Hampshire are known to be one of the counties interested in speaking to Stone, who has also made 17 List A and 30 T20 appearances in his senior career.
Ripley continued to BBC Radio Northampton: "He's assured us he'll come back to us and see what we've got to say and we're still hopeful he'll stay.
"He was on the verge of Lions cricket before his injury and we think we can do well with his injury. Barry Goudriaan has got a very good record of rehabbing players so I think that's a card for us to play."
The initial figure released in July was boosted by a sharp rise in oil and gas production.
As expected, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) on Friday made no change to the reading for the three months to June.
It was higher than the 0.4% growth recorded for the first quarter of the year.
Net trade boosted GDP by one percentage point in the second quarter - the biggest contribution from trade in four years - as exports jumped.
Economists have said the boost to trade might be temporary, because the persistent strength of sterling is making British goods more expensive abroad, while turmoil in Chinese financial markets has increased uncertainty about the global outlook.
Business investment rose 2.9% compared with the first three months of 2015 - the highest figure in a year.
Samuel Tombs, senior UK economist at Capital Economics, said the figure "put paid to the idea that uncertainty about the general election would weigh on capital expenditure".
Household spending increased by 0.7%, but was lower than the 0.9% rise in the first quarter.
Weak inflation, low interest rates and a strong pound have helped to keep consumer sentiment buoyant.
The UK economy expanded by 3% last year in its best result since 2006. The Bank of England expects the same momentum to be maintained this year, forecasting 2.8% growth.
"With growth in households' real incomes set to remain supported by low inflation, building wage growth and strong job creation, we continue to think that the economic recovery will sustain its current pace in the second half of 2015," Mr Tombs said.
On Thursday, US GDP for the second quarter was revised sharply higher at an annualised rate of 3.7%, up from the first estimate of 2.3%. Growth of 0.6% in the first three months of the year was not revised.
It would keep workers on the minimum wage out of tax, raise the 40p tax rate threshold to £55,000, introduce a new 30p tax band and scrap inheritance tax.
He said UKIP was the only party with a "credible plan" for immigration and a positive vision for the country.
The Conservatives have said there is a "£37bn black hole" in UKIP's proposals.
But Mr Farage said his was the only party with fully costed plans, which have been verified by independent economic think tank, The Centre for Economic and Business Research.
Main pledges
Policy guide: Where UKIP stand
The party's proposals also include an increase of up to £3bn extra a year in NHS funding, a commitment to spend 2% of GDP on defence and a five-year ban on unskilled immigration.
UKIP, which wants to quit the EU, has said it will hold an in/out referendum "as soon as possible" in the next Parliament.
Mr Farage said his was the only party which had the "self confidence and belief in the nation" that the UK should govern itself, make its own laws and negotiate its own international trade deals.
Setting out the party's election offerings at a hotel in Thurrock, Essex, the UKIP leader said politics had become dominated by giant corporate business interests while ordinary people had been "left behind" with "nobody to speak for them".
But he added: "UKIP has a plan, we genuinely want to make working people better off. And we will do that by leading the charge and making the argument for a low tax revolution.
"We genuinely want to make work pay and for people to have incentives to do better. And we believe that will unleash a kind of economic dynamism that has not been seen in this country in a long time."
Mr Farage said he was proposing an £18bn "big tax giveaway", paid for by cutting £32bn a year from government spending.
This would including cutting foreign aid spending, leaving the EU, scrapping the HS2 rail link and changing the Barnett funding formula for the nations.
UKIP's policies also include:
On immigration, Mr Farage said the only way for the UK to control its borders was by leaving the European Union.
Dismissing the Conservatives' approach for a renegotiation of Britain's terms of membership of the 28-member bloc, Mr Farage said there was "no third way".
"We want our country back, and then and only then can we actually control our borders," he told the gathered media and party supporters.
There are some catchy phrases UKIP wants you to remember from the manifesto launch: their campaign slogan "believe in Britain".
Their new take on immigration, it's about "space not race".
But the big takeaway, as they say in marketing circles, is this: "fully costed".
The manifesto has been given the once over by the independent Centre for Economics and Business Research and it all adds up, apparently.
UKIP commissioned the CEBR to sign off on the sums because it believes credibility is the final link in the chain.
Trying to prove it's serious about cutting and spending is the final answer to years of one-trick-pony, one-man-band accusations.
It may matter to wavering voters - disillusioned Tories or disconnected Labour supporters - who are seriously thinking about going purple.
The irony is it's almost an irrelevance for UKIP devotees.
They don't like the party because of its broad range of "fully costed" policies.
They like it because of the man whose photo features on page three. To them, UKIP is Nigel Farage.
The first test of this manifesto is whether it does indeed add up. But after that it will be judged on whether it can take the party beyond the devotees who filled the upstairs room in an Essex hotel by the M25 this morning and persuade others to vote UKIP.
The party is proposing an Australian-style points-based immigration system, which the party leader said would be ethical, fair and in the interests of the UK.
Foreign criminals would not be allowed into the country and all migrants would need to have insurance to access the health system, Mr Farage said.
Migrants would not be allowed to claim benefits in the UK unless they had paid into the system for five years and obeyed the law, under UKIP's plans.
UKIP is also pledging to:
The resulting "big reduction in numbers" coming to the UK would relieve pressure on schools, hospitals and houses, said Mr Farage.
A Conservative spokesman said UKIP's numbers did not "add up", adding: "We all know that Nigel Farage doesn't have a credible plan for Britain - he just makes it up as he goes along."
Labour shadow minister Jon Trickett said: "UKIP have confirmed that they are a party which stands for a privileged few. UKIP are a party of Tory policies, Tory people and Tory money."
Green Party leader Natalie Bennett said UKIP's environmental policies were "an insult to the many people across the globe already suffering the effects of climate change".
Commenting on UKIP's commitment to spend 2% of national income on defence, former Army head Sir Richard Dannett said it was "the right thing to do" and made "a lot of sense".
Earlier, UKIP's campaign chief Suzanne Evans told BBC Radio 4's Today programme all of the figures had been independently verified by economic think tank, The Centre for Economic and Business Research.
The manifesto launch came as one of the party's senior figures, immigration and economic spokesman Steven Woolfe, admitted to disagreements with Ms Evans over the party's immigration policies.
Mr Woolfe confirmed to BBC Radio 5 live Breakfast reports in the Telegraph he said Ms Evans "didn't seem to understand" the policies were true, but that he had made the comments "weeks ago" and he was now "absolutely onboard" with his colleague.
Despite a slight dip in some recent polls, UKIP has been polling ahead of the Liberal Democrats and is hoping to add to the two MPs it gained in by-elections following defections from the Conservatives.

Mr Murphy, a long-serving Gaelic Games administrator, died on Thursday, aged 67, after a long illness.
His funeral takes place in Burren near Newry on Saturday at 12:00 GMT.
The Ulster/Munster game will be staged on Sunday at Dublin's Parnell Park (14:00 GMT) with the same provinces' hurlers in action at Thurles at 13:45.
The Leinster v Connacht fixtures will still be played on Saturday. The hurling semi-final is at MacDonagh Park, Nenagh, at 14:45, with the football taking place at Parnell Park at 18:00.
The semi-finals and finals are usually played over one weekend but the GAA's Central Competitions Control Committee will now have to work out dates and times for the finals.
The competitions did not take place last year because of bad weather.
Connacht are the holders of the football title and Leinster are the current hurling champions.
Vast quantities of untapped mineral wealth have made it a target for foreign investors, transforming the country's tiny but fast-growing economy. This rapid change has taken place against a backdrop of political wrangling and government pledges to tighten control over the country's assets.
Once the heartland of an empire stretching to Europe under Genghis Khan, Mongolia is a landlocked country dominated by sparsely populated steppe and semi-desert.
A third of the population lives in the capital, while around 40% of the country's workforce is nomadic, herding livestock in the extensive pasturelands.
Population 2.8 million (2012)

President: Khaltmaa Battulga
Populist former martial arts star and businessman Khaltmaa Battulga was sworn in as president in July 2017, after winning a run-off election.
An MP since 2004, he previously served in government as transport and urban development minister from 2008 to 2012, and as minister of industry and agriculture from 2012 to 2014.
Mr Battulga is the founder of Genco, one of Mongolia's largest holding companies. Formerly a world-champion sambo and judo wrestler, he is currently the president of the Mongolian Judo Association.
Prime minister: Jargaltulgyn Erdenebat
Mongolia's parliament chose Jargaltulgyn Erdenebat as prime minister in July 2016 after the opposition Mongolian People's Party (MPP) unseated the Democratic Party (DP) in a landslide election win.
A former finance minister, who served for a short time under his predecessor Chimed Saikhanbileg, Mr Erdenebat's appointment indicated the severity of the country's economic situation amid near-flat growth and spiralling debt.
In a short speech after his nomination was approved by parliament, Mr Erdenbat urged "economic stabilization" and "financial discipline".
Like Mr Saikhanbileg, Mr Erdenebat represents a new generation of young Mongolian leaders. Before his election to parliament in 2012, he worked as an accountant and in managerial roles within the local government in his home region of Selenge.
He served as the governor of Selenge between 2008 and 2012.
Mongolia's media have undergone considerable reform since the collapse of the Soviet-style system in 1990 to reach their current level of freedom and diversity.
The main public service broadcaster is competing with a growing number of private and satellite/cable services and more than 300 print and broadcasting outlets. State-owned newspapers have been privatised and internet access is unrestricted.
Some key dates in Mongolia's history:
1206-63 Genghis Khan unites Mongol tribes and launches a campaign of conquest which eventually results in the world's biggest land empire.
1691- Mongolia come under the rule of China's Qing dynasty.
1921 - Wins independence but under strict Soviet control.
1990 - Mongolia holds its first free multiparty elections.
2014 - Prime Minister Norov Altankhuyag is dismissed by a parliamentary vote of no confidence and later replaced by Chimed Saikhanbileg.
Trucks have entered the rebel-held town of Muadhamiya, near the Syrian capital Damascus, the Red Crescent said.
Aid is heading as well to Madaya and Zabadani, also near the capital, and to the pro-government northern villages of Foah and Kefraya.
The deliveries are part of an agreement that world powers hope will lead to a "cessation of hostilities" by Friday.
However, offensives by Syrian government forces and Kurdish militia fighters on rebel-held areas of the northern province of Aleppo have dimmed hopes for a truce.
Almost 500,000 people live in besieged areas in Syria, according to the UN.
Some 100 trucks left Damascus earlier on Wednesday, carrying food, non-food items, medical equipment and medicine.
They are intended to provide one month's worth of aid for more than 90,000 people, 30,000 in Muadhamiya alone, the UN said.
A spokesman for the Syrian Arab Red Crescent told the BBC many Syrians were desperate for basic supplies.
"People in Kefraya and Foua, they need diesel to switch on the water pumps - without the diesel, they cannot dig for water, they need water, drinking water," Mouhannad al Assadi told the BBC.
Two more places - Kafr Batna and Deir al-Zour - are expected to receive aid later in the week.
Humanitarian supplies reached some of the areas last month amid reports of people starving.
On Tuesday, UN special envoy to Syria Staffan de Mistura said it was the "duty" of the Syrian government to allow aid to reach whoever needed it.
But a senior aide to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said Mr de Mistura should focus on peace talks rather than on aid deliveries.
"His mission now is to establish a list of terrorist groups, and a list of opposition groups who should dialogue with the Syrian government," Buthaina Shaaban told the AFP news agency.
The UN named seven areas where it would deliver aid:
Syria: The story of the conflict
Medecins Sans Frontieres has said at least 25 people are now confirmed to have died when one of its hospitals in Syria was bombed on Monday - 14 more than it previously reported.
The facility was among several hospitals in schools hit in strikes on Monday, killing up to 50 people, according to the UN.
Russia, who is carrying out strikes in support of the Syrian army, has rejected accusations it was responsible.
The nationwide "cessation of hostilities" is due to come into force on Friday.
The agreement, approved by the 17-member International Syria Support Group (ISSG), does not apply to the fight against Islamic State or al-Nusra Front, an al-Qaeda affiliate.
Mark Anderson tied up Nigel Poustie and beat him with a baseball bat and hammer before scalding him with boiling water.
Anderson kept Mr Poustie hostage at his Dundee flat overnight before the 49-year-old managed to escape.
Mr Poustie was subsequently discovered seriously injured in the street and later died in the city's Ninewells Hospital.
Judge Lord Boyd told Anderson, 51, he had subjected Mr Poustie to "the most appalling attack, which can only be described as torture."
The judge said at the High Court in Edinburgh: "One can only imagine the fear he experienced during this time."
Anderson was originally charged with murder but admitted a reduced charge of culpable homicide.
Mr Poustie was described in court as a "poor soul" who had suffered personal problems following the death of his mother.
Mr Poustie and Anderson were said to have had a falling-out which led the killer to state to another friend: "I will torture him".
Prosecutor Adrian Cottam said that Mr Poustie was tortured overnight in Anderson's flat after being strapped to a chair and repeatedly punched.
He was also hit on the legs with a hammer and baseball bat.
Mr Cottam told the court: "He repeatedly begged him to stop.
"Anderson said he had betrayed him and would take what was given to him."
Mr Poustie then had a pillow case put over Mr Poustie's head as he sat "immobilised" in the chair.
Anderson told a woman in the house to boil a kettle, and a cup of boiling water was poured over Mr Poustie's head.
After leaving Anderson's home, Mr Poustie was seen looking "injured and disorientated" and later collapsed in the street.
He was taken to hospital, but suffered a cardiac arrest and never recovered.
Mr Poustie sustained extensive bruising and scalding, but existing health issues were a factor in his death.
Anderson was arrested four days later and initially claimed his victim must have been hit by a car or fallen over.
Defence counsel Mark Stewart QC said Anderson had shown "genuine remorse and sorrow" for what had happened.
He said: "I am asked to publicly offer his sincerest apologies to the family.
"The accused did not for a minute perceive the consequences of what happened.
"When the deceased left the accused's house, the accused genuinely believed he was not in any danger of serious harm."
Wright's performance was second only to Michael van Gerwen's 123.40 against Michael Smith in the 2016 tournament.
With world champion Van Gerwen not playing because of a back injury, Phil Taylor went top of the table with a 6-6 draw against Gary Anderson.
Dave Chisnall won both of his matches in week five.
Chisnall, playing twice because of Van Gerwen's absence, overcame Raymond van Barneveld 7-2 in his first outing and returned later to inflict a first defeat on James Wade.
Jelle Klaasen drew with Kim Huybrechts in Thursday's other fixture.
Van Gerwen will decide on Friday whether he is fit enough to defend his UK Open title in Minehead.

Hebei-based factory worker Lu Yueting admitted last year to injecting insecticide into frozen dumplings that were later exported to Japan.
A five-year-old girl was among those who became ill and required treatment.
The incident in 2008 led to a scare over Chinese food and strained diplomatic ties between the countries.
The Shijiazhuang Intermediate People's Court, in northern China's Hebei province, announced Lu's sentence on Monday, news agencies Xinhua and Kyodo reported.
Lu Yueting worked in the Tianyang Food company from 1993 to 2009.
He was accused of using a syringe to put a highly toxic pesticide, methamidophos, into the frozen dumplings over frustration with his wages and colleagues.
In January 2008, at least 10 people in Japan fell ill after eating the dumplings.
Diplomatic relations between China and Japan were strained as both sides debated whether the contamination occurred in their territory.
Lu was arrested and charged in China in 2010. He was put on trial in July 2013.
The sentence comes amid renewed tensions in China and Japan.
China has been angered by Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's visit to Yasukuni shrine, a shrine that honours war dead including convicted war criminals, in December.
Meanwhile, Japan has criticised China's move in November to create a new "air defence identification zone" which covers a group of disputed islands.
The two sides are embroiled in a bitter territorial dispute in the East China Sea.
Police said a 24-year-old man was the victim of a "paramilitary style shooting" in Flax Street on Sunday.
Sinn Féin MLA Carál Ní Chuilín said people in Ardoyne were disgusted that the shooting happened while a community festival was taking place.
"This young man was shot only yards from the entrance to the venue of the Ardoyne Fleadh where thousands of people had gathered," she said.
"This was a cowardly and despicable attack and local people are also horrified that it was carried out in full view of children who were going to the festival.
"The thugs who carried out this attack represent no one.
"They should immediately end their campaign of violence and threats against the people of Ardoyne.
"Anyone who has any information on this attack should bring it to the police."
The man was taken to hospital for treatment. His injuries are not life-threatening.
Some activists say the market for rugs and ornaments made from the bears is driving them to extinction.
But others argue that the most pressing problem for the species is climate change and the disappearance of polar ice.
The issue will be decided at a UN wildlife conservation meeting in Thailand in March 2013.
The Humane Society International/UK says that polar bears have been brought to a tipping point by climate change but that increased hunting in recent years is pushing the species "beyond the brink".
"The drivers for the increase in recent years in the trade in polar bear parts are the extremely worrying and rapidly increasing prices being paid on international markets for polar bear parts," said Mark Jones, executive director of the Humane Society International/UK.
He points to the fact that in the five years up to 2012 there has been a 375% increase in the number of polar bear skins offered at auction, some selling for as much as $12,000 (£7,400).
Every year around 600 bears are legally killed by hunters in Canada and in the decade to 2010 more than 30,000 bear parts were traded as trophies, rugs and ornaments.
Opponents of the trade have now proposed a ban on the international sales of polar bear parts. It will be tabled at the next meeting of the Convention on the trade in endangered species (CITES) taking place in Thailand next March.
The move is being supported by the US and Russian governments. The last time an attempt was made to change the ruling in 2010, it was defeated after the UK and the EU voted against. Mark Jones believes the UK government's position is very influential and wants them to support the ban.
"We urgently need the British government to step forward and be a champion for polar bears by supporting their maximum protection," he added.
But some prominent campaigners are against changing the protected status of the bears. WWF has had a long association with the iconic species but believes that the threat from international trade is not significant compared to the threat from climate change.
"If we were tempted to support it on the basis of trade being a major threat, it is not," says Dr Colman O'Criodain, WWF's wildlife trade policy analyst.
"We have to focus on what is the major threat and not distract ourselves with a relatively minor one. We can't be arguing for the science when it suits us and then ignore it when it doesn't suit our case," he added.
WWF are supported by other groups including Traffic International and IUCN. But Mark Jones says the Humane Society International have broad support for their position as well.
"We're members of a very big campaigning group called the species survival network and we do believe we have a very wide consensus among groups on this particular issue," he said.
Dr Colman O'Criodain says that WWF won't actively campaign against the ban and will accept it if it is voted through. But he argues that would be a bad outcome for polar bears.
"You could say that this is just a distraction factor and that it could have the effect of making people think something has been done to address the threat when the net effect will be almost negligible," he said.
Indigenous groups in Canada are actively working against the proposed ban. And they particularly resent the fact that the US is leading the charge for change.
"The American government is using the threat of climate change to justify banning the international trade in polar bear parts while utterly failing to do anything to reduce their own activities," said James Eetoolook of the Nunavut Tunngavik, a group that represents Inuit interests.
They argue that their own research in the western Hudson Bay region carried out earlier this year indicated that bear numbers were increasing rather than declining.
Campaign groups in favour of the new ban are taking comfort from the fact that some governments are still undecided.
A spokesperson for the UK's department of the environment, farming and rural affairs added:
"We are currently considering the proposals ahead of the Conference of the Parties meeting next year."

Shane Tunney, 24, from Stockton, suffered severe head injuries during the assault on Norton High Street on 27 June last year and later died.
The 17-year-old, who cannot be named, was spotted on CCTV with the six other defendants running after Mr Tunney.
But he told Teesside Crown Court he took no part in the fatal assault.
The jury has heard how Mr Tunney was set upon by a gang and died from his injuries in hospital five weeks later.
The teenager was asked by his barrister, Jamie Hill QC, whether he saw what happened to Mr Tunney.
He replied: "I saw him being kicked."
He was then asked if he had seen who did the kicking.
The teenager said: "No, I couldn't say."
Earlier, the court heard food had been thrown at Mr Tunney and friend Anthony Kirk as they used a cash machine.
A short time later they were set upon by a group and Mr Kirk was stuck on the side of the head with a metal pole, and then kicked and punched while on the ground.
When the gang ran off, he found Mr Tunney unconscious.
Four 18-year olds, Kearon Terry Davis, of Trent Street; Kieran Harry Davis, of Holme House Road, Jake Douglas of David Road and Brandon Pitt, of Tithe Barn Road, all from Stockton, are accused, alongside two 17-year-olds and one 16-year-old, who cannot be named.
All deny murder and attempted grievous bodily harm..
The trial continues.
The former Red Rose captain played just five times as Lancashire won promotion from Division Two of the County Championship and the T20 Blast title.
Chapple, who led the club for a season after Peter Moores' exit in 2014, has assisted director of cricket Ashley Giles with coaching duties this summer.
"At my age I have no idea if I'm honest," he told BBC Radio Lancashire.
"If I feel the same as I did at the start of this season and it was felt it was appropriate to be available to play then maybe, yeah.
"I'm not going to announce a retirement or anything, but six months is a long time and my job is to predominantly coach and that's what I'm enjoying."
The funds were raised in under 40 minutes On Monday morning, according to an update posted to the GoFundMe page.
A bottle filled with flammable liquid was thrown through the window of the Orange County Republican Party headquarters on Sunday, the party said.
"Nazi Republicans get out of town or else," was written on the building.
No-one was hurt, but a security alert was sent to other offices, said state Republican director Dallas Woodhouse.
On Monday the Democratic fundraisers wrote online: "Until an investigation is undertaken, we cannot know who did this or why. No matter the result, this is not how Americans resolve their differences. We talk, we argue, sometimes we march, and most of all we vote. We do not resort to violence by individuals or by mobs."
The fundraisers surpassed their goal, and quickly closed down the posting, preventing further donations to their political rivals.
"Thank you all for showing that Americans are thirsty for civility and decency, and that we love our democracy above all our differences," organizers wrote, directing further donations to other charities in North Carolina.
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said in a tweet the attack was "horrific and unacceptable".
But the Republican nominee, Donald Trump, appeared to blame Democratic supporters for the attack.
"Animals representing Hillary Clinton and Dems in North Carolina just firebombed our office in Orange County because we are winning @NCGOP," he said on Twitter.
Mr Woodhouse said the bottle landed near a sofa where volunteers often take naps.
"They are working around the clock. It is a miracle that nobody was killed", he said, calling the fire an act of "political terrorism".
Local police said they were investigating the incident alongside the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Tom Stevens, the Democratic mayor of the town, Hillsborough, condemned the act in a statement.
"This highly disturbing act goes far beyond vandalising property; it wilfully threatens our community's safety via fire, and its hateful message undermines decency, respect and integrity in civic participation," he said.
North Carolina is a key battleground swing state that has been visited by Mrs Clinton and Mr Trump four times each in the last month.
President Barack Obama campaigned for Mrs Clinton last week in the state, which he narrowly won in 2008 and lost by two points in 2012.
Mr Trump and Mrs Clinton are locked in a tight race in the Tar Heel state, with polls showing the Democrat with a less than 3% lead.
The incident happened close to the Old Dublin Road, just south of Newry, at about 15:00 BST on Thursday.
The motorcyclist was taken to a hospital in Belfast by a police helicopter and is in a serious condition.
The A1 Dublin to Belfast road was closed but has now reopened.
Northbound traffic became backed up as far as Dundalk after the crash.
The southbound lane was closed briefly to allow the police helicopter to land and take off again.
Police are appealing for anyone who witnessed the crash or who may have stopped with the motorcyclist to contact them.
Ms Byrne was heavily criticised for allowing the winger to keep playing despite being aware of an allegation he had kissed an underage girl.
The figure was revealed in club accounts which also show she was paid £1.2m that year.
Johnson was sacked by the club after he pleaded guilty in 2016.
At the time, Ms Byrne, who was appointed chief executive in 2011, said the decision to let the England winger play after his arrest in 2015 "was a serious mistake" despite her belief he would plead not guilty.
The club added: "We are so very sorry for this."
Johnson was allowed to carry on playing until his trial at Bradford Crown Court, where he admitted two of the four charges against him.
Ms Byrne later resigned on 8 March 2016 after the trial had ended.
Johnson went on to be convicted of one further charge of sexual activity with a child and was jailed for six years.
The club went on to survive a relegation battle at the end of the 2015-16 season.
The financial figures released by the club last week showed a loss of £33m before tax and a net debt of £110.4m.
Sunderland's 10-year stay in the Premier League ended in April when a loss against Bournemouth confirmed their relegation to the Championship.
The 25-year-old has made 31 appearances for the Spireites this term, scoring three goals.

The 53-year-old has spent 10 years at Anfield, joining the club in 2007 as commercial director and being added to the club's board of directors in 2009.
In 2011 he became managing director and was made chief executive in 2013.
"This has always been more than just a job for me because of the emotional connection with the place," said Ayre.
He initially announced his plans to leave in March last year, and has since played a pivotal role in the restructuring of a number of senior leadership roles at the club.
Ayre acknowledged second-tier 1860 Munich were not currently among the "biggest or best" teams in Germany, but said the club "undoubtedly belongs back in the Bundesliga".
"There is enormous potential to improve this state of affairs," he added.
Liverpool expect to have a new chief executive in place by the summer.

The 11-year-old beat Balthazar King (14-1) by five lengths, with Double Seven (10-1 joint favourite) third, Alvarado (33-1) fourth and Rocky Creek (16-1) fifth.
Teaforthree, the 10-1 joint favourite, fell as 18 of the 40 horses finished.
Aspell, 37, had finished second on Supreme Glory in the 2003 National.
For the second year running, all horses and jockeys returned safely from the marathon steeplechase, however the 39 jockeys who started the race later refused to attend a stewards' inquiry into a false start.
Pineau De Re, who finished third in the Pertemps Final over hurdles at the Cheltenham Festival in March, jumped the final fence in a clear lead and his rivals never looked like bridging the gap as he galloped all the way to the line.
Aspell, who retired from the saddle in 2007 but was tempted back two years later, said: "It's a wonderful day - this is what we do it for.
"I've been watching the National since I was a very young boy.
"As much as you enjoy sharing everyone's success, you crave a bit too.
"To get a chance to ride in the National is a great thing, and to get on one with a chance is even better."
Dr Newland trains a small stable of horses at Claines in Worcester, having stopped surgery practice earlier this year. Pineau De Re was his first runner in the National.
"We are so lucky to have such a lovely horse. It's a dream come true - a dream that we've had for about 30 years," he told BBC Sport.
"John [Provan, the owner] is one of my oldest racing friends. We've been coming here for over 20 years, before I started training - he had horses before me and taught me a lot about it.
"Leighton is a top-class jockey - he had a plan and delivered it superbly. One of the reasons I put him on the horse was because he's had a bit of a comeback season. I just thought maybe, with his confidence high, he could go one better."
There was a false start because of Battle Group's reluctance to join the other runners and when they started at the second attempt, the Johnny Farrelly-trained nine-year-old again stood motionless and took no part.
Among those to fall early in the race was former Cheltenham Gold Cup victor and dual King George VI Chase winner Long Run.
Across The Bay led for a long way until almost being taken out by a loose horse as the field headed out for the second circuit, effectively ending his chances of victory.
Aspell took his time aboard Pineau De Re, named after a wine and bought out of Ireland last year after he won the Ulster National, as he moved comfortably into contention before making his challenge.
The Philip Hobbs-trained Balthazar King, winner of the cross-country chase at the Cheltenham Festival, was never too far off the pace, as Richard Johnson rode him into the runner-up spot.
Hobbs said of Balthazar King: "He's amazing. He ran well in the race last year but finished much better this time.
"I have enormous pride in the horse - he's one of the best, most consistent, tough horses, he tries so hard."
Third-placed Double Seven, saddled by former Grand National-winning trainer Martin Brassil, was the mount of AP McCoy.
The 18-time champion jockey said: "Martin had the horse in great form, but the ground was a fraction dead for him.
"Jumping the third-last I thought I had a chance of winning, but then I think the dead ground found him out.
"Dr Newland and Leighton are nice people and it's great for them to win it."
Sinfield, 35, switched codes to join Yorkshire Carnegie in October after helping the Headingley side to the treble in his final season.
He captained the Rhinos for 13 years and won seven Grand Finals, three World Club Challenges and two Challenge Cups.
"I'll miss playing rugby league every day for the rest of my life, that's just the reality of it," he told BBC Radio Leeds.
Following Sinfield's departure, the Rhinos have made a slow start to the 2016 season, losing four of their opening six league games and suffering defeat by North Queensland Cowboys in the World Club Challenge.
"I want the Rhinos to do well because there's a big part of me still in there," Sinfield said.
"It's been tough to watch but it would have been hard if they'd won every game because I miss the lads and I miss playing.
"It had to end at some stage."
Sinfield, who finished second in BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2015, helped Carnegie reach the final of the British & Irish Cup on Sunday.
He made his debut for the club in November and has admitted he underestimated how big a change he was making when he switched codes.
"I'm learning and I'm getting better every week," he said. "When you look at it from the outside you think they're very similar but the longer I have been in it the more distant apart the games are.
"The experience has been good and I'm really glad I did it."
The ex-Portugal Under-19 international, 22, originally signed for League Two Stanley in February but was unable to play because of registration issues.
He then joined non-league Tranmere for the rest of the 2016-17 season in March and played four games.
Meanwhile, striker Terry Gornell has left the League Two club by mutual consent, despite having a year left on his existing deal.
In his third spell at the Wham Stadium, the 27-year-old played 24 games last season although 11 were as a substitute.
"It's sad to see Terry go, he was a great professional around the place and he was beneficial to younger players over the past couple of years," Stanley manager John Coleman said.

UK Sport said in December that handball would receive no funding for the Rio Olympics and the sport has been unable to finance staging any future fixtures.
Players have had to pay their own travel and that restricted them to a squad of 12, compared to Italy's 16.
Steven Larsson top-scored with six goals for GB.
We'll keep going as long as we can afford to do this
Already eliminated from qualification for the 2016 European Championships after April's 32-20 defeat to Greece, GB played without pressure and Larsson hit the back of the net three times in the opening eight minutes.
The British team kept the score close for much of the first half, but a late surge from the Italians saw them lead 18-13 at the interval.
GB visibly tired in the second period with their opponents able to rotate their larger squad, but Mark Hawkins and debutant Aston Lang impressed with their goal-scoring endeavours preventing a heavier defeat.
Earlier in the week captain Bobby White said he feared for his side's future in the sport - admitting that without financial support this could be the end of the international team.
However, he was impressed with the attitude and efforts of his team-mates in Italy.
"It's a bit sad it's the last official thing we'll be in, but we're proud of how we performed and can take a lot of confidence from the performance," White told BBC Sport.
"We're used to these difficult situations and we're proud to pull on the GB shirt which I think the public identify with. We'll keep going as long as we can afford to do this."
"We just have to keep on, keep on going," one says.
These are Fifa men, and one of them is Walter de Gregorio, Fifa's director of communications, and the man who had to sit alone on Fifa's vast auditorium stage last Wednesday morning and explain to the world's press just why it was that seven senior football officials had been hauled from their beds by Swiss police early that morning, and detained pending extradition.
In the six days since, events concerning Fifa have moved with astonishing speed.
Its controversial president Sepp Blatter was asked to resign, instead he stood again and was re-elected with a handsome number of votes.
More allegations of bribery and corruption followed, and within days Mr Blatter had resigned after all.
So what, I asked Mr de Gregorio, did he think it would take now to fix Fifa?
Reform must begin with the executive committee, he indicated.
"It's no use the president saying he can't monitor everyone all the time," he said, in reference to Mr Blatter, who said exactly this just last week when bidding for re-election.
Mr de Gregorio suggested that unless there was more oversight of Fifa's executive committee members, then whoever became the new president would have the same problems as Sepp Blatter.
So a new structure built to prevent quiet deals (some would call them bribes) and, Mr de Gregorio said, obligatory "integrity checks".
But what exactly is an integrity check? The anti-corruption organization Transparency International (TI) has been calling for such checks for quite some time.
"But," says Gareth Sweeney, who is director of TI's corruption in sport initiative, "it depends on the integrity of the integrity check."
To be really effective, Mr Sweeney says, there would have to be rigorous background checks - not just for criminal records, but about previous employers and current professional contacts, in order to ensure there is absolutely no conflict of interest.
But integrity checks alone will not, Mr Sweeney believes, be enough to fix Fifa.
TI would like to see fixed terms for everyone on Fifa's powerful executive and finance committees, as well, of course, for its president. So no more decades in office for Fifa bosses.
Another suggested change would be to hold open rather than secret ballots.
This, some suggest, would force national football associations to be accountable. Instead of going into a booth and casting a secret ballot, as 133 did last week for Sepp Blatter, the associations would have to vote publicly.
Finally, TI believes Fifa should have external independent directors on its executive and finance committees too, in a similar way to the International Olympic Committee, which, in the hope of repairing its reputation after suffering its own corruption scandals, now has more checks and balances than are actually legally required.
But in Switzerland itself, some Fifa watchers believe the damage of the last week may not be repairable.
Guido Tognoni, a former marketing manager for Fifa, believes the organisation is heading for "destruction", and that tinkering with its current set-up is not an option.
A Swiss Social Democrat member of parliament, Daniel Jositsch, has suggested a complete dismantling of Fifa as it stands now, hiving off its commercial side into a limited company, complete with shares and shareholders, and governed by business law.
The purely sport side would become a not-for-profit foundation.
Perhaps surprisingly, another member of the Swiss parliament and one of Fifa's fiercest critics, Roland Buechel, is less pessimistic.
He says he is prepared to be "positively surprised" by Sepp Blatter, who, having announced his resignation and now with just a few months left in office, may finally achieve serious and effective reform.
To do so he will have to commit to it though, something he has not really done in the past. And he will have to take on football's powerful confederations, the regional groups which national football associations join.
It is these confederations which have resisted change in the past, and which may resist again.
Gareth Sweeney of TI fears the groups who voted to keep Sepp Blatter in power may now mobilise around a new presidential candidate who is reluctant to tackle reform.
All agree though that the fate of those seven senior football officials who were unceremoniously removed from their five-star Zurich hotel last week and taken to a Swiss jail may be the best catalyst for reform.
Apparently, the seven gentlemen, while resisting extradition to the United States, are also rather unhappy with the very basic standards of their Swiss prison cells.
And there are those two criminal investigations. However many reforms Fifa introduces, the investigations are under way and will continue.
"Reputationally," says Gareth Sweeney, "it's very likely things are going to get a lot worse for Fifa before they get better."
Mansfield District Council said bins not bought from the authority were more likely to break or fall off lorries while being emptied.
Lost, stolen or missing bins must be replaced at householders' expense and crews will now label and leave those which do not come up to standard.
Resident Peter O'Hare said houses with older, larger bins got a better deal.
Officials said bins bought elsewhere were often of lower grade plastic or had a larger capacity than the 180-litre council limit.
Hayley Barsby from the council said: "There have been occasions where bins have snapped or cracked when placed on the lifting equipment and sometimes they have fallen off while being lifted.
"This is obviously dangerous, not just to our staff but also the public, especially if this happens on a busy road.
"It can also leave a terrible mess if the bin falls off the lifting gear then spills all over the street."
Peter O'Hare, who lives in the Bull Farm area, said he had seen larger bins outside other houses.
"The bin men said they didn't do them any more but we are really struggling.
"We recycle, but with two adults and two children rubbish is a problem - I've had to pay someone else to take it away.
"Why should it matter if it's a private bin or a council bin if it does the job?"
Junior Hoilett opened the scoring by unleashing an unstoppable effort from the edge of the box.
QPR's lead was doubled when Tjaronn Chery's perfectly-weighted ball found Sebastian Polter, who slotted underneath David Button.
Chery secured the three points shortly after with a composed finish, his fourth goal in four Loftus Road games.
The Rs remain in 11th despite their west London derby win, while the Bees stay 17th.
Brentford's best chance came straight after Hoilett's opener, but Ryan Woods' fierce strike from long range struck the base of the post.
Former centre-back Dean Smith will be concerned with his Brentford side's defence, which has now conceded 12 in the last four away games.
The result sees QPR win three home games in a row for the first time since 2014.

QPR boss Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink: "We were very well organised, not really in trouble, and we defended well. I'm very happy with the performance.
"Junior took the goal really well and then after that you get a little more positivity and you can do certain things - you feel freer.
"You can't just control a game with the ball, you have to be able to suffer without the ball as well, and we did that."

Pravin Gordhan, the country's third finance minister in less than a week, was making his first comments since he was appointed on Sunday.
He refused to mention any names but there are concerns that some state-run firms are being poorly managed.
In a bid to reassure the markets, he said that the country "will stay the course of sound fiscal management".
Last week, President Jacob Zuma sacked previous Finance Minister Nhlanhla Nene in a widely criticised move that sent the rand to record lows.
Mr Gordhan replaced David van Rooyen who had only been in the job since Thursday.
'Zuma Must Still Fall': South Africa reacts to economic troubles
He told journalists that "it's time that individuals, or groups of individuals, stop playing with state entities... as if [they're] a personal toy from which you can extract money when you feel like".
"We do require a bit of national reflection... as to how do we want to manage state resources," he added.
Mr Nene's reluctance to approve a plan to build several nuclear power stations at a cost of up to $100bn is thought to have contributed to his removal as finance minister.
He also opposed plans for to buy a new presidential jet and to bail out the national airline.
Mr Gordhan was widely respected when he served as South Africa's finance minister from 2009 until 2014.
But President Zuma's move to get rid of him drew a lot of criticism from within the governing ANC.
BBC Africa business reporter Lerato Mbele says his re-appointment is designed to quell market discontent and restore some confidence.
It appeared to have an immediate effect with the currency rising, recovering from just over 16 rand to the dollar to about 15 by Monday morning, according to currency site xe.com.
The Johannesburg stock exchange also recovered some of last week's losses.
President Jacob Zuma's decision to fire two finance ministers in the space of a week has been a colossal blunder.
Not only has it been recognised by opposition parties, who are calling for his resignation, but also by the general public and the financial markets.
The president acknowledged his initial mistake, hence the change in mind.
But what is happening with the governing African National Congress?
The ANC leadership was not consulted and seemed to be hearing about the dramatic appointments at the same time as the rest of us.
There is no doubt that the continent's oldest liberation movement is in disarray.
President Zuma will emerge weaker but the party will not lose votes in the medium term - as people remain loyal to the movement if not the individual.
Zuma's careless blunder
Mr Gordhan has a hard job with unemployment currently above 25%, growth sluggish and credit rating agency Fitch recently downgrading South Africa to one notch above "junk" status.
The brief tenure of Mr van Rooyen and the uncertainty it caused may have damaged South Africa's reputation further, analysts say.
Mohammed Nalla, head of research at Nedbank Capital, said having a finance minister serve just a few days did not bode well.
"International investors are probably thinking: 'Why didn't the president make a much more considered decision in the first place?'" he said.
Former Health Minister Barbara Hogan on Friday called on Mr Zuma to resign. The highest-profile ANC member to oppose Mr Nene's removal, she said that the president had crossed a line and needed to be held to account.
Razia Khan, an analyst with Standard Chartered bank, said the turmoil was "perhaps the first instance since 2007 that Zuma has come under severe pressure within the party".
A statement from Mr Zuma's office said he had "received many representations" to reconsider his decision to appoint Mr van Rooyen.
"As a democratic government, we emphasise the importance of listening to the people and to respond to their views," it added.
Fitch said on Thursday that Mr Nene's sacking "raised more negative than positive questions".
The soldier told an inquest he was not initially sent to a civilian hospital as "the Press would have a field day".
The 16-mile (26km) Brecon Beacons hike was on one of 2013's hottest days.
It resulted in the deaths of L/Cpl Craig Roberts, L/Cpl Edward Maher and Cpl James Dunsby from overheating.
The soldier, known as 2D to protect his identity, told the inquest officers had suggested his friends could look after him instead.
He said despite asking to see a doctor repeatedly after completing the exercise, he was told there was no one available and he later collapsed.
2D described feeling "disappointed" there was not more water provided at checkpoints, but he did not tell instructors about his concerns.
He said the march left him "with a shaken confidence in the Army's ability to provide basic care".
A reservist known as soldier 4E earlier told the inquest he was left hallucinating and barely able to walk on the test march.
Participants had to carry 49lb (22kg) rucksacks in temperatures up to 27C (80.6F).
4E, who had no previous military experience, told the hearing he put himself forward as a special forces candidate to "achieve something" and challenge himself.
He said: "I was feeling very confused and I was hallucinating as well, so I wasn't in a very good state really."
But he did not tell his superiors how he was feeling because he thought he was able to finish the exercise.
He was later pulled from the march by a medic.
Previously, the inquest heard a soldier, known as 1W, suffered kidney and heart damage after suffering heat illness during the march.
On Monday, the hearing was told an Army officer allegedly told the family of L/Cpl Roberts there would have been "too much paperwork" to cancel the march.
The inquest continues.
The 51-year-old tourist was attacked by a group of men in the Paharganj area on Tuesday evening. Police say she was robbed and raped at knife point.
A German woman has also been raped in south India, Der Spiegel reports.
Scrutiny of sexual violence in India has grown since the 2012 gang rape and murder of a student on a Delhi bus.
By Andrew NorthBBC News, Delhi
It's hard to imagine a worse headline for India's image abroad, after the battering it has taken over the issue of rape.
After the fatal assault on a Delhi student just over a year ago, the city has earned the unwelcome title "India's rape capital". The picture is not as bad as the media paints, Indian officials say. Other countries also have a rape problem, they protest.
But ever since the Delhi gang-rape case, the safety of women and the discrimination they suffer in Indian society has been in the spotlight. The Indian media just as much as the foreign media are giving the issue much more space.
And while the case involving the Danish woman is getting priority attention from the Delhi police, many say what's still needed is the justice system and Indian society in general to take the issue more seriously.
The government tightened laws on sexual violence last year after widespread protests following the attack.
But violence and discrimination against women remain deeply entrenched in India's staunchly patriarchal society.
The Danish woman told police that she approached the group of men after losing her way back to her hotel near New Delhi Railway Station.
The men robbed her of her belongings and raped her, police spokesman Rajan Bhagat told the BBC.
"She reached her hotel and reported the incident to the manager who called in the police and the investigation is now under way," Mr Bhagat said.
The woman flew out of India on Wednesday morning, police say.
No arrests have been made yet, but police are questioning a number of men in connection with the attack.
The Danish woman is believed to have been travelling alone and had been in Delhi since Monday after visiting the Taj Mahal, the BBC's Andrew North in Delhi reports.
Police say she gave a detailed statement in the presence of the Danish ambassador before leaving the country, AFP news agency reports. There was no immediate comment from the Danish embassy in Delhi.
Paharganj, a busy backpacker district frequented by foreign tourists, is located in the heart of the Indian capital, not far from Connaught Place.
An 18-year-old German woman was reportedly raped by a man sharing her compartment on a train travelling from Mangalore to Chennai in southern India on Friday.
A man, described as a migrant worker from Bihar state, was arrested on Tuesday, Der Spiegel newspaper reported.
Last March a Swiss tourist was gang raped and her partner attacked by a group of men in Madhya Pradesh state. Six men were jailed for life for the attack in July.
Since the December 2012 Delhi gang rape, the nation has been shocked by a string of brutal rapes of Indian women.
They include a photojournalist raped in broad daylight in central Mumbai, a 21-year-old woman raped by two apparently unrelated groups of men on Christmas Eve in Pondicherry and a 16-year-old girl who died after being gang-raped twice and then set on fire in the eastern city of Calcutta.
Although cases involving foreigners continue to get far more attention in the media and from the police, Indian women who are raped are still far less likely to receive justice, our correspondent says.
Manohar's elevation to the role follows the Board of Control for Cricket in India's (BCCI) decision to remove Srinivasan as its ICC representative and name the 58-year-old in his place.
Manohar will occupy the position until the end of June 2016.
Indian cricket was hit by a series of corruption scandals last year.
Srinivasan, 70, stood down as BCCI chief after the Supreme Court last year found him guilty of conflict of interest issues regarding his ownership of the Chennai Super Kings team in the Indian Premier League.
Srinivasan's son-in-law, Gurunath Meiyapppan, was found guilty of illegal betting while serving as team principal at Chennai and banned from all cricket-related activities.
An administrator removed by his home board cannot serve in the ICC, but it has yet to confirm Manohar's appointment.
A short statement read: "The ICC notes media reports, but it is yet to receive an official notification from the BCCI regards its decision to change its nominee to the ICC board."
The BCCI has since confirmed its position, stating: "Mr Shashank Manohar will be the BCCI representative at the ICC."
The men, aged 24 and 29, were detained in Huddersfield and Sheffield on 1 June.
The North East Counter-Terrorism Unit said "an additional warrant of further detention has been granted".
Police said the arrests were not linked to last month's Manchester Arena attack.
Officers raided properties in Kelham Island, Sheffield, and Crosland Moor, Huddersfield, and both arrests are understood to be Islamist-related.
The men are being held on suspicion of offences under Section 5 of the Terrorism Act.

The second of the five Tests begins in Visakhapatnam on Thursday.
England, heavy underdogs at the start of the series, will travel east buoyed by this performance. They dictated the terms for most of the Test and, in the end, world number ones India were hanging on.
In making 537, England became the first visiting team to claim a first-innings lead in India for four years, their spinners outbowled India's and Hameed may have ended the long search for an opener to partner Cook.
But Visakhapatnam is likely to offer much more for the slow bowlers, which could favour India and provide England with a sterner challenge.
"England will take confidence from having competed well and they outperformed India," said ex-England batsman Geoffrey Boycott on BBC Test Match Special. "But in five Tests, I'd suspect somewhere the ball will turn earlier, so winning the toss could be very important."
England had India on the run during the final session and may have secured a remarkable victory had they held their chances before tea.
After Gautam Gambhir gloved Chris Woakes to second slip in the second over, left-arm spinner Zafar Ansari dropped a very sharp return chance off Murali Vijay and, in Ansari's next over, Stuart Broad grassed a more straightforward catch low down at point off Cheteshwar Pujara.
Still England pressed. Leg-spinner Adil Rashid, continuing his excellent bowling of the first innings, had Pujara lbw to a ball that pitched outside leg stump - the batsman not opting to review - and, after the break, Vijay inside-edged Rashid to short leg before Moeen Ali found huge turn to bowl Ajinkya Rahane off his pads.
With the pitch starting to play tricks, Rashid and off-break bowler Moeen had the ball spinning, spitting and bouncing, all while England catchers swarmed over the home batsmen.
India, not used to being under this sort of pressure in home conditions, were kept afloat by Kohli and Ashwin's stand of 47.
Just as the visitors began to tire, Ashwin needlessly drove Ansari to cover and the cavalier Saha jammed a catch back to Rashid.
England rushed around to squeeze in extra overs, but were denied by the pugnacious, defiant Kohli and the counter-punching of Jadeja.

We will get the surface we are expecting in the next Test - a bit of a minefield. That was where New Zealand were bundled out for 80 in a one-day international. But I don't think England will go there nearly as fazed as they might have done. Two weeks ago they were bundled out in a session by Bangladesh, here they had India fighting for their lives.
Former England batsman Geoffrey Boycott on Test Match Special
England have outplayed India. The body language of India was pretty poor today, they were just waiting for England's declaration as if they knew that was when the match really started. Only Kohli and Ashwin batted well for them and saved the game.

This is the best Test match Adil Rashid has had for England. He's bowled with more control than I've seen him playing for England, and the English spinners have caused as many problems as the Indian spinners - we weren't expecting that.
Cook began his Test career with a century in India, returned in 2012 with three more and this, his fifth, moved him top of the list of overseas century-makers in this country.
The left-hander resumed on 46 out of England's 114-0 and was much more fluent than the previous day, opening his shoulders in the second hour of the morning session.
With trademark cuts and less-familiar lofted cover drives, Cook brought up his 30th Test ton in a stand of 68 with Ben Stokes, who was promoted to number four.
When the skipper holed out off Ashwin's off-spin, he called time on England's innings.
Hameed, the 19-year-old making his Test debut, was highly impressive in moving to 62 not out on the fourth evening.
His performance on the final morning was less assured, with some uncertainty outside the off stump leading to an edge wide of slip off the bowling of Umesh Yadav.
When England looked to push on, he unselfishly put thoughts of his century to one side and slapped a return catch back to Amit Mishra.
Though he missed out on becoming the first England batsman to score a century before his 20th birthday, he did depart with the highest score made by an England teenager.
England captain Alastair Cook: "We played some good cricket. It was a good toss to win but you still have to score the runs.
"In India, if you get 530 like we did then you're always in the game. I am really proud of the lads, we were relentless with the ball and we didn't let India score quickly. To keep them to 480, I thought we played really well."
On Haseeb Hameed's 82: "It was a brilliant knock - he looked the real deal in the first innings, then to bat in the second innings the way he did, when we only had a lead of 50, was brilliant. I don't want to heap too much praise on him but he looks a good 'un."
Hameed on Sky Sports: "I did enjoy it. I felt more comfortable the more time I spent out there. I just took it as any other game in a way. It is quite surreal how quickly things have happened but I am trying to take it all in my stride and not look too far ahead."
India captain Virat Kohli: "We could have been much better on days one and two. We are never going to take England for granted and it is good to not give away a result at the start of the series."
Carolyn Harris, who is chairing a parliamentary group investigating the subject, said addicts could lose thousands of pounds in one sitting.
She said the electronic touch-screen machines made "phenomenal" amounts of money for the bookmaker.
The UK government has said it was monitoring existing gambling controls.
Speaking to BBC Wales, the Swansea East MP said: "These machines are capable of taking £100 every 20 seconds, that's £300 every minute.
"And the machine doesn't give the punter, as they like to call them, the opportunity to stop and think about what they're doing. It's so rapid, it's literally pressing a button."
Fixed odds betting terminals first appeared in British betting shops in 1999. Last year, customers lost £1.7bn on the machines.
Betting shops are restricted to four machines in each shop, but critics say that had led to clusters of shops as companies try to increase the number of the terminals on the high street.
Ms Harris says the bookmakers have opened more shops in deprived areas, such as in her own constituency, and that the machines have changed how bookmakers are perceived.
"When the bookies were on the high street and they were just doing horse racing and dog racing, they were part of the fabric of the community now they're the scourge of the community."
"We need to have a complete overhaul and review of Fixed Odds Betting Terminals and hopefully come up with a solution which, it's not going to suit the bookies, but at least will help all the associated problems with these machines, including anti-social behaviour, money laundering, violence."
BBC Wales has spoken to addicts who describe them as the "crack cocaine" of gambling.
One man, who wanted to remain anonymous, said: "Once you're in that zone it's like nothing matters around you.
"There's nothing in the world that's more important than that machine, like making you play, put more money in, and nothing could have stopped me unless the place burned down, and even then I would have still hit the buttons till the fire brigade came."
Malcolm George, chief executive of the Association of British Bookmakers, says it is the most highly-regulated industry on the high street, and staff in their shops are trained to help customers who may have problems, many of whom they will see in their shops week in week out.
He said: "I think betting shops are probably the safest environment in which you can gamble. I think if you look at the range of measures we have on our machines as opposed to, say, those in amusement arcades or casinos, they really are very effective and allow us to identify and spot people who can be getting into trouble with their gambling."
Last week newspaper reports claimed the UK Government was about to declare a review of the machines.
In a statement a spokesperson for the Department for Culture, Media and Sport said: "We will continue to monitor the effectiveness of existing gambling controls and will take further action if necessary."
Malcolm George of the ABB says the industry has accepted there will be another review of the machines, adding: "In many ways we'd welcome an evidence-based debate around this.
"It's very easy for the anti-gambling lobby to make really quite strong false claims about the industry. These machines have been in shops for fifteen years, there have been reviews, and when the evidence is put in front of government, they come to the same conclusions: it's absolutely right they should be there."
Carter, playing in his first major final since being given the all-clear from lung cancer in 2014, beat his fellow Englishman 10-8 in Yushan.
The 37-year-old won four frames in a row to lead 6-3 at the halfway stage.
And although Perry took the match to the penultimate frame, Carter edged home to claim a victory that moves him back into the world's top 16.
"I have been through a lot over the last couple of years so to get back into the top 16 is a huge achievement," said Carter.
Prior to being diagnosed with a tumour on his lung, Carter was given the all-clear after testicular cancer. He has also lived with Crohn's disease for a number of years.
The Essex player returned to the professional circuit late in 2014 and won the minor-ranking Paul Hunter Classic last year.
"I'm delighted - there was so much riding on today, winning a ranking event as well as my top-16 place," the two-time World Championship runner-up added.
"I have been focused all week and to come out the winner is very special. It has been a great week for me."
The Dillwyn Llewellyn family made their fortune by transforming the Cambrian Pottery into one of the most fashionable brands in London homes during the early 19th century.
But they were also polymaths of some repute and in no field more so than photography.
The exhibition at Swansea's Glynn Vivian Art Gallery opened on Saturday.
Frenchman Louis Daguerre created the first practical photographs in 1839, and around the same time William Henry Fox Talbot devised a rival system through quite different chemical processes.
Yet it was Fox Talbot's friend and relative John Dillwyn Llewellyn who picked up the camera and ran with the idea.
In 1856, he devised a means of preserving photographic plates for several days before development, meaning that for the first time images could be practically taken out and about, and not only in specially equipped studios.
The Illustrated London News of July 1856 wrote: "We have heard of a new method of preserving collodion plates for a week or a fortnight discovered by Mr Llewellyn of Penllergare, a gentleman to whom all photographers owe a world of thanks.
"The plates may be prepared at home and a boxful taken out and think of this ye tourists, as you travel along and a fine prospect meets your eye you have nothing to do but to stop your carriage, get out your camera, and in a few minutes you may secure a picture, drawn by nature herself, that would have taken you hours to sketch..."
John Dillwyn Llewellyn also took some of the earliest-known photographic images of the moon - captured during the mid-1850s from his purpose-built observatory at his Penllergare estate - as well as pioneering a method of taking photographs in stereo.
But as the exhibition, The Moon and a Smile, charts, equally if not more important than his technical advances were the artistic strides taken by his sister Mary and daughter Thereza.
With about 120 surviving images from the 1840s and 1850s, Mary Dillwyn is said to have been the first female photographer in Wales.
Her images are more spontaneous and natural than those of other photographers of the period, with her photographic milestones including the first known capturing of both a smile and a snowman.
Shockingly realistic and unstaged for the time, her "Smile" picture snapped the fleeting expression of her little nephew, William Mansel Llewellyn, as he gazed intently at something off camera.
Continuing the snow theme, Thereza Dillwyn Llewellyn helped her father to improve the focus of early cameras to such an extent that they were able to photograph individual snowflakes for the first time.
She also played a major part in assisting with John Dillwyn Llewellyn's astronomical photography, however she is probably best-known for setting the fashion in early portraits; both as the subject and photographer.
The Moon and a Smile runs at the Glynn Vivian Art Gallery until 23 April, and also features work by contemporary photographers Greta Alfaro, Anna Fox, Astrid Kruse Jensen, Neeta Madahar, Melanie Rose, Sharon Morris, Sophy Rickett, Helen Sear and Patricia Ziad.
Councillor Robert Francis-Davies, Swansea council's Cabinet Member for Enterprise, Development and Regeneration, said: "Photography is such a popular pastime in communities across the world nowadays, but many might not know that a Swansea family were among the leading global pioneers of the technology when it was first introduced in the mid-19th Century.
"As well as allowing people to experience a rich and fascinating collection of 19th Century photography, this exhibition will also introduce gallery visitors to works by leading contemporary international artists."
In May 2014 they had close to 18,000 members but 12 months later that number had soared to 60,000 - it became known as the "Green surge".
But despite increasing their vote four-fold in the 2015 general election and picking up more than one million votes, they only won one seat, holding onto Brighton Pavilion where Caroline Lucas is the MP.
Now lurking on the left-wing of British politics is something new - a Labour party led by Jeremy Corbyn - and as the Green's leader, Natalie Bennett, noted during her autumn conference speech many are wondering if it's crowding the Green Party's space.
In Islington North, where Jeremy Corbyn is the local MP, the enthusiasm and energy in the Green Party remains undimmed.
Ben Hickey is one of the Islington Green Party members. Sitting in the local Green councillor's kitchen he told me that "during the election we had dozens of people here leafleting, canvassing, it was a bit of an HQ." He said "we'd had so many new members as well, people coming through with no experience in politics, polling, mucking in, it was fantastic".
Since the general election 7,000 people have joined the Green Party but more than 3,000 have left. Peter Kellner, the president of the polling organisation YouGov told me many are heading to Labour.
"There is no doubt that Jeremy Corbyn's Labour party is siphoning votes off from the Greens," he said. "Quite a lot of Green members joined the Labour party to vote for him. I think the Greens have a real challenge - one of the reasons for the challenge is that they face a very hostile voting system."
He added: "They have one MP. They had what, one million plus votes at the general election. Had we had a proportional voting system they'd have had what, 20 MPs… The Greens are not a big party and if so many of their active supporters decided to sign up for Labour that's a real problem for the Greens."
Martha Everett from Buxton in Derbyshire was a Labour voter but joined the Greens before the election. Now that Jeremy Corbyn has been elected leader she has switched back to Labour. She paid £3 and signed up as an affiliated supporter to vote for Mr Corbyn and intends to vote Labour at the next general election.
"It purely comes down to thinking that my vote will actually make a difference rather than just being a protest vote" she told me, adding that "the policies don't seem to be widely different although obviously Labour have a bit more experience of actually being in power as well so in that respect more likely to get things done I would have thought."
But Caroline Lucas dismissed concern that Mr Corbyn's Labour could start siphoning off votes from the Greens and that the so-called Green surge could turn out to be temporary.
"I think the core of that is significant and will stay," she told me.
"Yes some people are leaving," she admitted, "but others are joining and we're still seeing net increase in the number of our members."
She continued: "There is just a general churn in politics. In the old days people would join a party and stay with it for life. They'd often join it because their parents were members of it beforehand. I think now people are much more flexible, fluid.
"Politics is very different, it's moving much faster. It wouldn't surprise me if those people who have left come back again. The Greens are doing something distinctive and I hope people will stay with us because they recognise that."
Back on the streets of Islington the Greens are keeping up the fight.
The local Green councillor, Sarah Russell, is optimistic. She stood against Jeremy Corbyn in the general election and told me she managed to increase the Green share of the vote three-fold: "It shows even up against Jeremy Corbyn himself the Green vote can hold strong. That indication gives me hope."
The 18-year-old made his debut for the Foxes in the League Cup defeat by Hull City on 27 October.
Chilwell is an England Under-20 international and was called into the Under-21 squad for the first time this month.
He could make his debut for Huddersfield in Saturday's trip to Yorkshire rivals Sheffield Wednesday.
A volunteer at Refugee Aid From Taunton (Raft) discovered the wad of cash after they noticed the footwear was "heavier than expected".
It is not known whether the money was intentionally left inside by a generous donor who wished to remain anonymous.
Avon and Somerset Police has launched an appeal to find the owner.
Raft founder Frederica Smith said the blue socks were found inside a bin bag full of clothes.
Ms Smith said: "One of our volunteers Sue, she was putting a pair of socks into every boot that we send out because they are nice and warm.
"She felt that one was a bit thicker than normal and inside there was the money."
The surprise discovery was made about a month ago and handed in to the police.
If the cash was intended for the charity, Ms Smith said, it would have the potential to make a "huge" difference.
Ms Smith established Raft in 2015 to gather aid for Syrian refugees, initially using her garage as a base.
Gareth Williams, 48, admitted 31 charges including nine of voyeurism and 20 of making indecent photos at a hearing in Cardiff Crown Court in May.
Ysgol Glantaf teacher Williams was caught in an international police operation against child sex abuse.
The hearing took place in London.
Three judges upheld the sentence challenge by Williams and reduced it by one year.
Mr Justice Green said Williams had installed recording devices in toilets, showers and changing rooms to get images of boys for his "obsessive" gratification.
Police initially began investigating Williams as part of Project Spade, an investigation by Canadian police which swiftly became international as material was shared with forces around the world.
He had downloaded child sex abuse images, but police also found the recordings of pupils made at the school where he taught and in other properties using pinhole cameras, the judge said.
More than 30 boys were captured on film by Williams.
When arrested, Williams said he had been examining images of boys for 10 years to help understand their physical development, but admitted a long-standing interest in boys and accepted being fixated by them.
David Elias, Williams' counsel, argued the sentence was too long especially given his mitigation, and argued the cataloguing of the images by age supported Williams' claim he was at least in part interested in children's physical development.
Mr Justice Green, sitting with Sir Brian Leveson and Mr Justice Goss, said: "We conclude that the overall sentence imposed was manifestly excessive.
"We also conclude that insufficient weight was attached to the mitigating features, in particular the devastating impact which the appellant's conduct has had upon his personal life.
"In these circumstances, we quash the sentence of five years' imprisonment and substitute one of four years' imprisonment."
The Convention of Scottish Local Authorities (Cosla) said the proposed funding package would "result in extremely difficult local decisions".
A Scottish government spokesman insisted councils had been treated "very fairly" in budget settlements.
The government needs one opposition party to at least abstain to get the budget past its first vote on Thursday.
A briefing paper sent around MSPs by Cosla, which includes many of Scotland's councils, said "misrepresentations" about the proposed deal were confusing communities and damaging the role of local government.
There has been a row over what Finance Secretary Derek Mackay's budget plans would actually mean for local government services. Opposition parties point to the core council grant falling by £327m, while Mr Mackay insists that other measures such as cash going direct to schools and health and social care partnerships and the unfreezing of the council tax means there is actually an increase in the money going towards services.
Holyrood's local government committee said the budget was "very difficult to follow", noting that it was essential that parliament was clear on "exactly how much money local authorities can be expected to receive".
Cosla argues that it is "inaccurate" to offset the cut to the core grant with other ring-fenced funds, saying there was "less discretion for councils to spend on local priorities".
Their "budget reality" paper reads: "The 2017/18 budget will result in extremely difficult local decisions being taken to manage the budget gaps being faced by all councils. This is on the back of difficult settlements in the past.
"A revenue cut of this magnitude will undoubtedly impact on local services."
The group, which also opposed the 2016/17 budget, has asked for a reduction to the cut in its revenue budget, more capital funding for local infrastructure, and additional investment in health and social care and education.
They also want "fundamental reform of local taxation" and "constitutional protection for local government".
The Scottish government argues that local government has been treated "very fairly".
A spokesman said: "Taking next year's local government finance settlement plus the other sources of income available to councils through reforms to council tax and funding for health and social care integration, the overall increase in spending power to support local authority services amounts to £241 million, or 2.3%, and every penny of council tax collected will stay in the local authority area.
"We have received no rejections from councils. It is now for local authorities to finalise their budgets, including provision for each of the elements included in the package, at their council budget-setting meetings which will take place over the coming weeks."
Scottish Labour, who have declared they will not back the budget without extra funding for local authorities, said the Cosla warning was "very serious".
Deputy leader Alex Rowley said: "Derek Mackay must listen to the people who deliver the local services that our communities depend upon.
"The first vote on the SNP budget is just days away and I urge Mr Mackay to think again about the damage he plans to inflict on our communities."
The budget bill has been introduced at Holyrood, marking the start of the formal legislative process.
With the SNP a minority government, at least one opposition party will need to at least abstain on the plans to allow them to progress. Recent votes have resulted in a stalemate, with no consensus between the parties on spending or tax.
Mr Mackay has highlighted the Lib Dems and Greens as the most likely partners for a deal, but both parties have warned there remain "big differences" between their positions and that of the government.
Lib Dem leader Willie Rennie told the BBC's Sunday Politics Scotland programme that he was "not fearful of an election, although I do not want one", adding: "If we don't get what our voters backed us for in May, then I'm afraid we just have to walk away."
Meanwhile Green co-convener Patrick Harvie posted on Twitter on Monday that his party would not "support the budget unquestioningly" nor "oppose it without evening talking".
He added that "minority government can work well for the country, but needs negotiation and compromise from all".
Mr Mackay has previously said he is "positive" about getting his budget through Holyrood.
Jean-Francois Perreault, 40, and Imran Zafar Syed, 38, were arrested on 18 July before the Air Transat flight from Glasgow to Toronto was due to take off.
Both men were suspended by Air Transat after their arrests last year.
At Paisley Sheriff Court, the pair were released on bail ahead of a hearing in April.
The charge stated that Mr Perreault had 32 milligrams of alcohol in 100ml of blood, while Mr Syed had 49 milligrams in 100ml of blood.
The blood alcohol limit for flying is set at 20 milligrams.
Both men also denied a charge relating to acting in a threatening and abusive manner and getting into a fight at the Hilton hotel the same day.

Despite making a solid start against the Chinese top seeds Zhang Nan and Zhao Yunlei, they were eventually beaten 21-15 21-7.
The Anglo-Scottish pair are ranked 20 in the world and were appearing in their first major final.
"Unfortunately they were a bit more experienced," Adcock told BBC Sport.
Zhang and Zhao's victory gave China their fifth gold medal of the championships.
Of the 21 other British players who entered this year, none made it past Wednesday's matches.
Neither Leicester-born Adcock, 22, nor Scottish 23-year-old Bankier, had ever come close to an international result of this magnitude at senior level.
They surpassed all expectations by defeating the eighth, fourth and second seeds en route to the final.
The British couple went toe-to-toe with the Chinese early on in the final as Bankier's confident net play disrupted their opponents' play.
A powerful smash by Adcock drew the British pair level at 15-15 and they looked on course to cause another upset.
But a series of mis-hits and errors allowed Zhang and Zhao to take control.
"The first set was absolutely crucial," Adcock told BBC Sport. "We were playing well until 15-15. It's where we've been strong all week, closing out matches and performing in tight situations.
"We've won a silver world medal and I see it as a stepping stone to winning the medal above. We can only use it as a positive."
By the second set, the Chinese had found their form and looked comfortable dealing with the British attack.
In front of a boisterous Wembley crowd, Adcock and Bankier struggled to cope with the Chinese duo's dominance as they fell 15-6 behind and the world's top pair soon clinched victory.
Bankier told BBC Sport: "It's hard to end the tournament on a loss when we've been on a high all week. But, when we reflect, we've produced some fantastic performances and had brilliant results against top 10 pairs."
This was the first appearance by Britons in a World Badminton final since Athens Olympic silver medallists Nathan Robertson and Gail Emms won the mixed doubles world title in 2006.
Five years on from that success, Robertson drifted out of the tournament alongside new partner Jenny Wallwork on its third day.
That pairing - seeded 10th - had been billed as Britain's likeliest chance of a medal, but unseeded Adcock and Bankier appeared inspired by their status as last Brits standing.
"We knew we could achieve good things but just not this early," said Adcock, who has only been playing with Bankier since September last year.
"We've proven what we can achieve, everything fell into place this week."
George Osborne said that he would not give the go-ahead until the markets had calmed, saying that "now is not the right time".
He said he still supported encouraging wider share ownership in Britain.
The taxpayer still owns just under 10% of the bank.
The sale of the final part of the government's stake in Lloyds was a general election pledge made by Prime Minister David Cameron.
It was expected to raise £2bn, making it one of the largest privatisations since the 1980s when BT and British Gas were sold, raising £3.9bn and £5.6bn respectively.
Mr Osborne announced the details of the Lloyds sale to hundreds of thousands of small investors last October.
It was thought the sale would take place in the spring.
But since then Lloyds' share price has fallen and the trading environment for banks has become tougher.
Low interest rates also make profits harder to come by across the sector.
In October, Lloyds share price was 78p, above the 74p considered to be the "in price" the government paid to rescue the bank during the financial crisis - when it used billions of pounds of tax-payers money to shore up the financial system.
That share price is now down at 64p, so the government would be selling the shares to the public at a considerable loss.
Mr Osborne told BBC News that his "principal concern" in deciding to postpone the sale was turbulence in the financial markets, despite "hundreds of thousands" of private investors being "interested".
"I want to create a share owning democracy and I want to give the British people a chance to buy shares in Lloyds bank, a bank that they had to bail out. It is also my responsibility to make sure we have a secure and sound economy and with these turbulent financial markets it wouldn't be right to have the Lloyds share sale now," he said.
"There will be a sale of shares [in] Lloyds but only when the time is right for people.
"We need those markets to calm down, and then we can proceed with the sale. We've got hundreds of thousands of people interested in buying these shares, I want to sell them the shares, but it wouldn't be right to undertake that sale when frankly things are pretty turbulent out there on the stock markets and the global financial markets."

October 2008: Labour government reveals it has bailed out Lloyds, taking a stake of 43%
April 2010: Lloyds announces a profit for the first time since the crisis
September 2013: Coalition government starts return of the bank to the private sector, selling part of its stake to major institutional investors
October 2015: Conservative government says it will sell its final stake in Lloyds with shares offered to private investors
January 2016: Chancellor George Osborne says the sale is being delayed owing to turbulent markets
On Wednesday, the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) announced billions of pounds of new provisions to pay for fines and legal actions connected to the financial crisis.
Its share price has also fallen.
The government owns 73% of RBS and just under 10% of Lloyds. It does not look like it will be selling either stake any time soon.
Laith Khalaf, senior analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown, said: "This will be a big disappointment for the hundreds of thousands of investors who had queued up for a chunk of Lloyds, but taking a big loss on selling shares when markets are low was always going to be a bridge too far for the chancellor.
"The timetable for the share sale has always been vague being 'spring' of 2016. The government are looking to obtain a good price for the remaining 10% of the Lloyds Banking Group they own and timing to get the best value around issues such as the Budget, financial and tax year end and Lloyd's own financial calendar was always going to be tricky.
"Market volatility in recent months has seen UK stock market values fall by around 20% since the April 2015 high, so its understandable that the share sale is being delayed."
This decision comes after sales of publicly-owned assets, including Royal Mail and Eurostar, raised more money for the government in 2015 than any other year in history, according to new analysis by the Press Association.
A total of £26.4bn was made through privatisations, beating by almost £6m the previous record set in 1987.
Rosberg retired five days after winning the title last year, leaving Mercedes without a team-mate for Lewis Hamilton.
Asked if it was a question of "crossing the t's and dotting the i's" on 27-year-old Bottas' switch, Claire Williams replied: "It is exactly that."
Williams could bring Felipe Massa out of retirement to replace the Finn.
"I suppose as soon as Nico made his announcement, I knew the call was going to come from Toto Wolff [Mercedes team boss]," said Williams.
"You don't want to stand in the way of a driver who has the opportunity to go and race in a car that's winning races, winning world championships."
Assuming Bottas leaves, Williams would be left with 18-year-old Canadian rookie Lance Stroll, and the return of 35-year-old Massa - who retired at the end of last season - would bring much-needed experience to the team.
"We need to make sure that if we are to release Valtteri, we have the best credible option to replace him," said Williams, speaking at the Autosport International Show.
"I wish I could announce who it was, we are still crossing the t's and dotting the i's at the moment with all of the contracts.
"We will be making an announcement shortly because we are testing soon and we all want to know who's going to be driving for us."
The first test of the new 2017 cars will take place at the end of February, while the season starts in Australia on 26 March.
She had won the national age-group sprint and standard distance triathlon titles that year, but she admitted she lacked confidence in her ability to race at an international level.
"In my own mind I wasn't going to make the Olympics," said the 30-year-old.
However, she was about to embark on a life-changing journey that would see her land a place on the British team at the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games.
As an able-bodied athlete, Smith is to race in the PT5 class, guiding Alison Patrick - a 29-year-old visually-impaired triathlete from Dunfermline.
Against the backdrop of Copacabana Beach, the pair will swim 750m tethered together, cycle 20k on a tandem, and complete a 5k tethered run.
The "crazy, rollercoaster" journey to Rio started about two years ago when the pair met for a coffee in Edinburgh, where Smith is based.
The germs of friendship were planted and - after a quick Google search on "how to ride a tandem" - Smith dipped her toe into the world of paratriathlon.
I was worried it would be sensitive or awkward if I said something stupid
Smith simply planned to help Patrick with some bike training, but she was about to be thrown in at the deep end.
Paratriathlon was selected as a new sport to be included in the Paralympics in Rio 2016, and Smith decided to apply to British Triathlon's Guide 2 Gold talent identification programme.
"Things were about to get serious," she said.
Patrick proved she could be a formidable force by winning the PT5 event in the 2014 Para-triathlon World Championships with another guide.
At the beginning of 2015 - after an intense selection day of physiological and psychological testing - Smith was sent to a Lanzarote training camp with the GB paratriathlon team.
Smith was to find learning to be a guide, and competing for a place at Rio, would be a complicated, stressful, and life-affirming experience.
"I just got chucked in with the group," she said.
"You've got people in wheelchairs, people with no legs or one arm, and initially I thought I was going to have to help loads of people.
"I was worried it would be sensitive or awkward if I said something stupid."
It was a tough two weeks with some steep learning curves, but she left Lanzarote feeling part of an incredibly close-knit team.
"The camaraderie and capability of the group is just incredible," she said. "It really is an amazing bunch of people."
Back in the UK, Smith needed to prove that she had the right attributes to provide both mental and physical support to an elite athlete throughout training, pre-race and during competition.
Smith was learning what to say - and what not to say - to help them both work well as a pair. She needed to swim as fast as Patrick while ensuring she stayed on course.
She had to grasp the technical aspects of the tandem, and how to guide Patrick over mixed terrain while they were running.
"When I'm racing with Alison, it's her race but it's our race," she said.
"I'm thinking about myself, yet I'm also thinking about her.
"The build-up can be stressful - if I do anything wrong it could impact on her.
"It's more mentally fatiguing than racing by myself and I'll be quite tired for a few days afterwards."
In May 2015, Smith was one of three UK Sport Lottery funded guide athletes to be added to the Great Britain Paratriathlon team.

These guides and the two para-athletes, Patrick and Melissa Reid, were swapped about during training and for competitions by British Triathlon to ensure the best possible pairings and to help the athletes improve.
This year, Patrick and Smith won both the World and European paratriathlon championship titles in the PT5 event.
Six months ago, in order to commit to training schedules, Smith went part-time in her job with engineering firm Aecom, and she took a sabbatical for August and September.
"I was based in Loughborough during the whole period of when they were doing the selection and I felt the pressure," she said.
"Alison and the other athletes also have an impact on who they want as guides.
"You're constantly thinking I need to impress them, and I need to be at my best all the time.
"So it was quite a stressful time."
Smith had come a long way since that two-hour chat with Patrick over a coffee.
In July 2016, just weeks before the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games opening ceremony, she received confirmation that she would compete as Patrick's guide on the GB team.
Sighted guides often get no podium recognition, yet all athletes who guide para-athletes at Rio 2016 will be eligible for medals (as was the case in London 2012).
So will Smith be chasing the glory of a medal for herself?
"There are two different sides to this," she said.
"It's just been such a massive learning experience and an amazing life experience.
"It's making me emotional talking about it - for me I've already won a medal.
"But obviously we're out to chase those Australians down.
"It will be incredibly special if we medal in Rio, especially as we'll have each other to celebrate with."
The paratriathlon competitions at the Rio 2016 Paralympics are scheduled to take place from 10-11 September 2016 at Fort Copacabana.
The biker was killed following an incident on the A5 at Cerrigydrudion, Conwy county, at about 19:10 BST on Sunday.
North Wales Police said the 46-year-old driver of a VW Transporter van remains in custody on suspicion of causing death by careless driving.
It was the second fatal motorbike crash on Sunday but neither were connected.
The other incident happened near Betws-y-Coed.
The UK government has put forward the idea to avoid the damage of a "cliff-edge" departure before a final deal.
Speaking at the Pembrokeshire Show, NFU President Meurig Raymond said sheep farmers could suffer most from any return of tariffs.
The Welsh Government said it was "disappointed" a permanent post-Brexit customs union was not explored.
The UK government's position paper, published on Tuesday, said the UK would want to negotiate its own trade deals during the transition period, something it cannot currently do as a member of the EU customs union.
Mr Raymond, who farms in Pembrokeshire, told BBC Wales: "We're delighted to hear the government will be arguing for a transition period post-March 2019.
"We cannot afford that cliff-edge departure - it would have a devastating effect on certain sectors, particularly sheep, if we ended up with tariffs on our exports to Europe.
"Obviously we need to be within the customs union through that transition period as I believe it would take at least two to three years to negotiate a bilateral trade deal with the European Union.
"We need to have a frictionless trade position where business can carry on as normal, at least in the short term."
Mr Raymond stressed the need for an agreement across the nations on how the financial aid to farmers promised by the UK government following Brexit would be spent.
"No farmer must be disadvantaged - whether you're in Wales, England, Scotland or Northern Ireland - because we're going to have to be competing against the rest of the world," he said.
"That money needs to be directed to farming so that it can become more efficient, more competitive, and invest for the future."
Stephen James, president of NFU Cymru, agreed with the idea of a temporary customs union, for the sake of the whole rural economy.
"We've got all these businesses that are dependent on farming and agriculture - for every pound of support we have, it delivers £7.40 in the wider economy.
"That's a good message for all governments, because that keeps an economy going."
The Farmers' Union of Wales (FUW), also represented at the Pembrokeshire Show, renewed its call for an agricultural summit of the various UK governments to agree the rules on how the sector should be run when EU policies no longer apply.
The UK government proposes an "innovative and untested approach" to customs checks once any transition period is over, using measures such as number plate recognition technology for lorries.
However, Guy Verhofstadt, the European Parliament's negotiator, dismissed the idea of "invisible borders" as a "fantasy".
The Welsh Government said it welcomed "the recognition that there will need to be an interim or transitional period with as little change as possible in terms of practical customs arrangements".
But a spokeswoman added that there had been "no attempt to seek input" from devolved administrations.
She said the Welsh Government was "disappointed" that the costs and benefits of establishing an independent trade policy had not been analysed, and that the idea of a new customs union with the EU post-Brexit had not been considered.
Plaid Cymru MP Hywel Williams said the idea of the UK keeping "the perks of remaining in the EU Customs Union whilst negotiating alternative deals with third countries is at best naive and at worst deluded".
"What was meant to be a reassuring step ahead continues to cause more uncertainty for businesses all over the country," he added.
Ibenge, who is also coach of DR Congo side AS Vita Club, was speaking from The Gambia ahead of Sunday's African Champions League match between Vita Club and Ports Authority.
The 55-year-old has combined both roles since 2014 and says he needs a new challenge.
I've been here for three years already, so I think that by the end of my contract it will be four years. It's enough. And I think someone else can take this team and go further
"My contract ends after the World Cup, so, I want to do things with my family and I don't have to continue with the national team - I want to do something else," Ibenge told BBC Sport.
"I've been here for three years already, so I think that by the end of my contract it will be four years. It's enough. And I think someone else can take this team and go further" Ibenge added.
As he prepared for the first leg of AS Vita Club's African Champions League last 32-tie, Ibenge admitted that combining two roles - for club and country - had been challenging.
"It's really difficult because when you have the national team, you're supposed to be on the move, to meet all the players, to attend a lot of matches. But when you are with a club, you can't travel. You have to stay for training. So it's really difficult to do both. And I'm also tired" said Ibenge.
During his three years with The Leopards, Ibenge took the national team to a third place finish at the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations.
In 2016 he helped DR Congo become champions of the CHAN - the tournament which is only open to footballers who play in their own local leagues.
Most recently Ibenge guided the national side to a quarter-final place at the Nations Cup in Gabon where they lost to Ghana.
The DR Congo coach says he will leave the team in a healthy state with the likes of Everton star Yannick Bolasie in the ranks alongside fellow English Premier League players Dieumerci Mbokani of Hull and Bournemouth's Benik Afobe.
But Ibenge wants more Congolese footballers to progress at club level and show ambition in the future.
"We have a lot of players, young players, and what I hope is that firstly we qualify for Russia 2018, but the other thing I want is for Congolese players to play for the best teams in the world.
"At the moment, a lot of players play in the second division. And I want them to play in the first division and for big teams like Manchester City or Manchester United, or Bayern Munich, or Real Madrid or Barcelona.
"We don't have these kinds of players. And I hope in the future we can have top players who can play in these teams. I'd be proud to see all these players playing for these teams."
Florent Ibenge says he is targeting a World Cup campaign in Russia with The Leopards, and as things stand, their chances of finishing as Group A winners and thereby bagging one of the five African spots, remain strong.
"We've played two matches, we have six points. The same points as Tunisia. And at the end of August and beginning of September, we'll play against Tunisia.
"We are really concentrating on being there [the 2018 World Cup], because the last time we reached this level, it was in 1974. It's been too long for our Congolese people - so we really want to be in Russia."
The American commandos were quickly engaged in a firefight, during which Abu Sayyaf was killed. But their original goal was to capture and interrogate him, apparently in an effort to improve their understanding of how IS works.
It raised the question of how much is known about the structure of an organisation that rapidly overran large parts of Syria and Iraq last year, and has been able to hold onto much of that territory despite months of air strikes by a US-led coalition.
On a broad level the shape of Islamic State may seem fairly clear.
Its stated goal has been to establish a "caliphate" to rule over the entire Muslim world, under a single leader and in line with Islamic law, or Sharia.
Unlike some other insurgent or militant groups, it holds territory that it seeks to govern. It has therefore set up a bureaucratic system that in many aspects mimics that of a modern state.
The leader or "caliph" is Ibrahim Awad Ibrahim Ali al-Badri al-Samarrai, better known as Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
He sits at the top of a structure of advisory councils and administrative departments that are replicated at regional and local levels. These oversee a range of functions and services that include security and intelligence, finance, media, health provision, and family or legal disputes.
The plans for Islamic State's rapid rise were detailed in the papers of Haji Bakr, the man described in a recent report by Germany's Der Spiegel as the group's architect.
He laid out a detailed strategy for the takeover and administration of towns that focused heavily on surveillance and espionage, drawing on the experience of a group of Iraqi former intelligence officials.
Haji Bakr was killed in northern Syria in January 2014, several months before his group's sudden expansion.
Yet material on the current structure of IS, and some of the names of the people with positions of responsibility, have also surfaced through administrative documents that have been leaked or seized.
Aymenn al-Tamimi, a fellow at the US based think-tank Middle East Forum, has been building up an archive that so far includes more than 120 IS operational documents.
These give directions on everything from strict punishments to child vaccinations, fishing rights, and an order for lorry drivers to give lifts to IS fighters. They are issued for "provinces" as far away as eastern Libya.
"Because there's so much available from these documents we do know a lot more about [IS] than other groups," Mr Tamimi says.
The organisational structure became clearer in June 2014 when the establishment of a caliphate was announced shortly after the capture of the Iraqi city of Mosul, along with much of the north and west of the country.
"The presentation becomes much more formalised and centralised once the caliphate is declared," Mr Tamimi explains.
One example is Islamic State's media operation, which is replicated through the various areas under the group's control and appears to be carefully co-ordinated.
After the Nigerian group Boko Haram pledged allegiance to IS there was a series of videos from different places of people on the street stating their support for the move. More recently, there was a flurry of videos promoting IS-run hospitals and health services.
Another example was an order issued in December 2014 by the group's general supervisory committee giving operatives across IS-held territory an order to disable GPS devices within one month.
Yet that order was given because of the need for IS fighters to avoid detection as targets for air strikes, and as the campaign against IS has escalated, the group has tried not to give away clues about its operations and the men who run them.
IS talks very little about its leadership, and beyond Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and the group's spokesman Abu Mohammed al-Adnani, little is clear about the identity and roles of senior figures.
There were said to be two deputy leaders - Abu Ali al-Anbari in Syria and Abu Muslim al-Turkmani in Iraq.
But last week the Iraqi defence ministry claimed that the group's second-in-command, who they identified as Abdul Rahman Mustafa Mohammed or Abu Alaa al-Afari, had been killed in an air strike.
Iraqi sources identified him as the same man that the US had offered a $7m (£4.5m) reward for, a "senior IS official" named as Abdul Rahman Mustafa al-Qaduli.
There was some suggestion on jihadist social media accounts that Afari and Anbari were the same person, but also scepticism about Iraq's claim.
One problem for those trying to decipher the workings of IS is that there has been relatively little dissent in its ranks, limiting the amount of loose chatter on the internet and the flow of intelligence.
Another is the extensive use of pseudonyms and aliases - the US listed 12 for Qaduli alone. And Der Spiegel's report spoke of a complex parallel command structure staffed by additional commanders and powerbrokers.
Among the figures that have surfaced in the past are theologian Turki al-Binali, and military commanders Omar Shishani and Shaker Wahib al-Fahdawi.
But there is no consensus on the true extent of their influence, or their formal roles. Some apparently important figures may be given prominence as decoys, fall rapidly out of favour, or be killed.
"The general problem is not knowing who is at the middle or even senior level," says Mr al-Tamimi. "These people are designed to be replaceable."
That may be the case with Abu Sayyaf, who few people appeared to have heard about before the US announced his death on Saturday.
US officials later said his real name was Fathi bin Awn bin Jildi Murad al-Tunisi, though he also had a number of aliases.
Abu Sayyaf's wife, identified as Umm Sayyaf, is now being debriefed in Iraq, where she was brought along with a reportedly large amount of electronic data seized in the raid.
Intelligence officials will be hoping that it sheds valuable light on IS's current decision-making structure and senior operatives.
Williams, the 17th seed, saw off 27th seed Pavlyuchenkova 6-4 7-6 (7-3) in the first of the quarter-finals.
The 36-year-old American has never won the title, her best effort a runner-up finish to sister Serena in 2003.
She goes on to face Spain's Garbine Muguruza or fellow American Coco Vandewehge in the last four.
"Whoever wins I'm just happy I have an opportunity to play again," said Williams, who is the oldest woman to reach a Grand Slam semi-final since Martina Navratilova at Wimbledon in 1994.
"That's all I'm focused on."
She added: "I'm so excited, today was such a hard-fought match. She never let up.
"It's wonderful to be here at the start of the year, I want to go further. I'm not happy with this."
On Wednesday, Serena Williams will play Britain's Johanna Konta at around 02:00 GMT, following the match between Czech fifth seed Karolina Plisokva and Croatia's Mirjana Lucic-Baroni.

The Magpies are six points from safety with six games remaining after losing 3-1 at Southampton on Saturday.
"We have four more games at home and we will need everyone's support there," Benitez told BBC Sport.
"It important that everybody continues to believe. If we can control these things then things will change. It's not the time to criticise."
Newcastle have lost six of the last seven games to leave their six-season stay in the Premier League in peril.
"The anxiety is killing us sometimes," Benitez added.
"At home we have the fans behind us and we need them. We have six games to play and each one is important."
They were 3-0 behind at Southampton before Andros Townsend scored.
Their remaining games include home matches against Manchester City and title-chasing Tottenham, while Newcastle also face an away game at Benitez's former club Liverpool.
Tuesday night's deluge caused widespread power cuts in Lancashire and led to the postponement of Manchester City's Champions League game.
Meanwhile, the Metrolink suspended all tram lines due to lightning strikes and Manchester Airport was forced to divert incoming flights.
Several flood warnings remain in place.
They include parts of Manchester, with Fallowfield, Chorlton-cum-Hardy and Cheetham Hill among the areas affected.
Electricity North West said homes in Colne, Burnley and Nelson were affected by the power cut, but supplies were restored overnight.
Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS) reported "high numbers" of 999 calls made after the storms hit.
GMFRS said it received 106 calls between 18:30 and 20:00 from people reporting flooding and weather-related issues.
They included a woman and children trapped inside a car in floodwater under a railway bridge in Stockport and electrical faults caused by the excessive rain.
Manchester Airport was unable to accept any incoming flights during the height of the storm and had to divert a number of planes to other airports.
Manchester City's Champions League group clash at home to German side Borussia Mönchengladbach was postponed less than half an hour before kick off because of a flooded Etihad Stadium pitch.
It has been rearranged for 19:45 BST on Wednesday.
The cosmetics counters at Manchester's Harvey Nichols department store were also flooded.
Meteorologist Mark Wilson said there was a lot of rain in a "very short space of time" in the region and a lot of thunder and lightning.
Mr Wilson said: "Prestbury had 32.4mm of rain in an hour - which is pretty exceptional." | South Africa's new finance minister has warned that state-owned companies should not be used as "personal toys".

Notts resumed on 82-2 but were bowled out for 182 before lunch, with spinner Gareth Batty (4-23) removing the visitors' top scorer Michael Lumb (48).
That gave Surrey a lead of 141 runs, and they reached 244-5 by the close.
Arun Harinath (83) registered his second half-century of the match at The Oval, while Kumar Sangakkara made 49.
Surrey are the only side in Division One yet to record a victory this season, but will hope to change that statistic on Wednesday having seized full control on the third morning.
Ravi Rampaul (2-26) started the procession of Nottinghamshire wickets, trapping Brendan Taylor lbw, while the mix-up that saw Samit Patel run out for 12 left them 132-5.
Lumb, who had hit three One-Day Cup centuries in the period since Notts' previous Championship outing, was bowled by Batty attempting to cut a straight ball and the Surrey skipper ran through the tail to secure a sizeable first-innings advantage.
Harinath, who made 73 in Surrey's first innings, was supported well by Rory Burns (34), Sangakkara and Steven Davies (45 not out) as the hosts consolidated their strong position.
However, as opener Harinath looked to accelerate before the close, he became one of three second-innings victims for Brett Hutton (3-61).
Surrey batsman Arun Harinath told BBC Radio London:
"It's been a very good day. The bowlers set the platform, were disciplined and patient, and it was up to the batters then to build on that and get as good a lead as possible.
"When we do that we suffocate sides, but it's been difficult to do it consistently this year.

She was addressing the nation on TV for the first time since senators voted overnight to suspend her for budgetary violations and put her on trial.
Ms Rousseff vowed to fight the "injustice" by all legal means.
Vice-President Michel Temer has now officially taken over as interim leader and has appointed a team.
Respected conservative Henrique Meirelles, who headed the central bank under leftist ex-President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, becomes finance minister.
Mr Temer will serve while Ms Rousseff's trial takes place. It may last up to 180 days, which would mean Ms Rousseff would be suspended during the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, which start on 5 August.
Senators had voted to suspend her by 55 votes to 22 after an all-night session that lasted more than 20 hours.
Ms Rousseff is accused of illegally manipulating finances to hide a growing public deficit ahead of her re-election in 2014.
In her TV speech, flanked by ministers at the presidential palace, Ms Rousseff said that she may have made mistakes but had committed no crimes, adding: "I did not violate budgetary laws."
She said: "What is at stake is respect for the ballot box, the sovereign will of the Brazilian people and the constitution."
It must have been a difficult moment for Brazil's first female president as she faced the massed ranks of the press. She must know, despite her protestations, that there is little chance of her emerging from a six-month impeachment trial to resume her presidency.
Surrounded by friends and colleagues, she talked emotionally about "hurt", "betrayal" and her "innocence". She left with her head held high, walking out of the presidential palace for the last time to greet loyal supporters.
Ms Rousseff always points out that 53 million people voted for her when she was re-elected and what is happening now is a betrayal of the democratic process. But what she consistently fails to appreciate is how that support has evaporated as Brazil's economy nose-dived and her government became embroiled in a corruption scandal.
Michel Temer might enjoy the support of Congress but many Brazilians will look upon him as a usurper. Brazil is a divided country, as it has not been for many years. Removing a president whose fall from grace has been spectacular will not heal this division overnight.
Branding the process "fraudulent" and saying her government was "undergoing sabotage", she vowed to fight the charges against her and said she was confident she would be found innocent.
Ms Rousseff, 68, accused the opposition of leading the impeachment because they had vehemently opposed all the advances she and her predecessor, Lula, had made for the Brazilian poor and lower middle classes.
After her speech she left the presidential palace and shook hands with supporters lining the pathway.
In another speech outside she told supporters she could feel their "love and energy" on what she called a "tragic" day for the country.
Michel Temer became interim president as soon as Ms Rousseff was suspended.

Michel Temer has nominated a 21-strong cabinet.
There are no women, although more names could be added. Ms Rousseff had earlier suggested that sexism in the male-dominated Congress had played a key part in the impeachment process.
Mr Meirelles, the new finance minister, built a reputation for calming nerves in the markets when heading the central bank, and helped tame inflation to create one of the country's biggest economic booms.
During the overnight debate, Senator Jose Serra, who has been named the new foreign minister, said the impeachment process was "a bitter though necessary medicine".
"Having the Rousseff government continue would be a bigger tragedy," he said.

"We have seen a sharp reduction of the illegal migration flows," European Council President Donald Tusk said.
In Turkey, he praised the government as "the best example in the world on how to treat refugees", despite criticism by rights groups of the agreement.
Turkish PM Ahmed Davutoglu reiterated the EU should now implement visa-free travel for Turks as part of the deal.
Mr Davutoglu said his country had fulfilled its part of the agreement and that the issue of the visa waiver for entering the EU's Schengen area was "vital" for Turkey.
The deal says Turkey must meet 72 conditions by 4 May to earn access. Diplomats say only half of those points have been met so far.
Earlier on Saturday, Mr Tusk and German Chancellor Angela Merkel visited a migrant camp on the Turkish-Syrian border.
The goal of the deal was to deter migrants, mainly Syrians and Iraqis, from making illegal crossings - mainly by sea - between Turkey and Greece, an EU member.
The UN refugee agency and other rights organisations have voiced concerns about the agreement.
At a joint news conference in the southern city of Gaziantep near the border with Syria, Mr Tusk said: "Our return operations are working in tandem with resettlements of Syrian nationals from Turkey to EU member states, demonstrating the desired shift from illegal to legal migration."
"No-one has a right to lecture Turkey on what it should be doing," he added.
Mr Davutoglu said "the decrease (in numbers) is evidence that the mechanism that we have set up works".
"Not a single Syrian refugee has been returned from Turkey unless it is of their free will," the Turkish prime minister said.
Meanwhile, Ms Merkel called for the establishment of special security zones on the Syrian side of the border, where refugees could find shelter.
"The more secure people can feel the less likely it is that they'll have to leave their homeland. So this is why we attach great importance to that," she said.
During the visit to the Nizip migrant camp, the EU officials met children and inspected living conditions. The camp is home to about 5,000 people.
Human rights groups criticised the visit as "sanitised".
Judith Sunderland, of Human Rights Watch, said the delegation should instead visit camps for the displaced on the other side of the border "to see the tens of thousands of war-weary Syrian refugees blocked" by Turkey from entering.
Under the EU-Turkey agreement, migrants who have arrived illegally in Greece since 20 March are to be sent back to Turkey if they do not apply for asylum or if their claim is rejected.
For each Syrian migrant returned to Turkey, the EU is to take in another Syrian who has made a legitimate request.
Opponents question its legality and argue that Turkey is not a safe place to return people to.
The scheme has reduced sharply the number of arrivals, from more than 56,000 in February to around 7,800 over the past 30 days, according to the European Commission.
However, the International Organization of Migration said unofficial data suggested numbers were picking up again.

in 2016, up to 20 April

Turkey already hosts some 2.7 million Syrian refugees, at a cost of over $10bn (£7bn), the government says.
Mrs Merkel's trip comes as she faces additional pressure for agreeing to the prosecution of German comedian Jan Boehmermann, who is accused of insulting Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan by reading out a satirical poem.
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. | Last month's EU-Turkey deal on tackling the migrant flow has begun to produce results, a top EU official has said. | 36,121,083 | 897 | 33 | false |
In particular he said that consumers were borrowing more on their credit cards and other unsecured debt.
Figures from the Bank this week showed that credit card lending is at a record level, up by £571m in the last month.
Overall unsecured debt - which includes overdrafts - is rising at its fastest pace for 11 years.
"We are going to remain vigilant around the issue, because we have seen this shift," he told a press conference at the Bank.
The Bank's Stability Report showed that the overall ratio of household debt to income was 133% in the second quarter of 2016.
The Bank said that was high by historical standards, although it was not as high as in the financial crisis.
"It's the early phase of re-leveraging, following a long period of improvement of the position," said Mr Carney.
For that reason he said the rules on risky mortgage lending would remain as they have been for the last two years.
In June 2014 lenders were told they could not lend any more than 15% of their loan book to people borrowing more than 4.5 times their annual income - so-called riskier mortgages.
Lenders also have to apply an affordability test to anyone wanting to take out a mortgage.
As part of that, lenders have to assess whether a home-owner could still afford the mortgage if interest rates rose by 3% at any time in the first five years of their loan.
"This will help ensure that underwriting standards don't slip from responsible to reckless as they have during past periods of consumption-led growth," said Mr Carney.
In its report, the Bank also noted that house prices are now, on average, 4.5 times those of average incomes, a ratio which is high by historical standards.
The outlook for the housing market was "highly uncertain", it said.
In general the outlook for UK financial stability after the Brexit vote "remains challenging", said the Bank's report.
It said stability was dependent on an orderly exit from the European Union, while it would take time to clarify the UK's new relationship with the EU.
Otherwise the greatest risks to UK financial stability are slowing growth in China and the eurozone, the report said.
UK banks are particularly exposed to events in Europe.
They provide more than half of debt and equity issuance by continental firms, and account for more than three quarters of foreign exchange and derivatives activity in the EU, it noted.
"If these UK-based firms have to adjust their activities in a short time frame, there could be a greater risk of disruption to services provided to the European real economy, some of which could spill back to the UK economy through trade and financial linkages," the Bank said.
However, Mr Carney concluded that overall the financial system had proved resilient.
"The UK financial system has stood up well, dampening rather than amplifying volatility in financial markets," he said.
"Households and businesses have, as a result, been able to focus on what they should: whether a new home is right for their families or whether a new investment would help them better serve their clients."
The Bank said it would also continue to monitor the buy-to-let market, an area it has previously been concerned about.
While buy-to-let transactions have slowed in recent months, it said there was no evidence of a widespread sell-off by investors.
Lindsey set off from Donaghadee beach in Northern Ireland at 6.30am. The 20 mile journey was expected to take her up to 14 hours, but she had to stop because of bad weather.
The Blue Peter team say that Lindsey is safe and on her way back to dry land.
Sport Relief said:
"Lindsey's Sport Relief challenge was always going to be incredibly hard and zorbing many miles across the Irish Channel is a huge achievement. Whilst we were, in the end, defeated by the weather, we're incredibly proud of Lindsey and her efforts, Blue Peter is all about giving it a go and getting stuck in which is exactly what she did today. We hope her amazing efforts have inspired lots of children around the UK to do their bit for Sport Relief.".
Well done Lindsey, we're proud of you too!
They think they'll be able copy snakes' greasy layer on their bellies to create tough new materials.
But it's not the first time humans have copied animals to create new tech.
Here are Newsround's top five.
A bird-watching engineer at a Japanese rail company took inspiration from a kingfisher's beak to solve a problem with high speed trains.
When they first were invented, high-speed trains had a real problem with noise, especially in tunnels.
As they drive through, the air pressure builds up in waves and as the nose exits the tunnel there's a loud noise. But an engineer re-designed the nose to be long and pointy like the kingfisher so the airwaves were gradually released instead.
Humpback whales might be heavy, but they're actually very good swimmers.
This is down to a row of warty ridges, called tubercles, on the front edge of their fins. These bumps help the whale to swim faster and change direction more easily.
A scientist called Frank Fish spotted this and worked out a way of adding similar bumps to wind turbine blades.
He found it made the turbines go faster when the wind changed direction, creating more power.
Geckos have specially adapted feet that mean they can stick to surfaces, and recently, scientists discovered they can do this because their feet are covered in thousand of tiny elastic hairs.
A team in the US has copied the geckos and developed amazing gloves that help climbers scale vertical walls.
They're hoping that the military will be able to use them in the future to climb over tough, steep or uneven land, high buildings or steep walls.
Velcro was invented when Swiss engineer George de Mestral went for a walk with his dog in the Alps.
When they got back, George found his dog was covered in fuzzy thistle-like seeds called burrs.
Mestral studied how these burrs and hairs attached to each other with tiny hooks.
It was this that inspired him to create Velcro as a way to easily fasten things together.
Sharks have amazing skin, which works to keep them clean of algae and other hitch-hiking sea creatures.
Their skin has a special pattern on it called 'dentricles' which reduces drag and means they can glide through the sea easily.
The shark skin caught the eyes of scientists at Nasa, who copied the patterns to create a special coating.
They used it on American sailing boats in the Olympics to help them move faster through the water.
The Freedom Party candidate faces an independent, Alexander Van der Bellen, who has the backing of the Greens.
Mr Hofer topped the first vote but fell well short of an outright majority.
For the first time since World War Two, both the main centrist parties were knocked out in the first round, amid concerns over the migrant crisis.
Ninety-thousand people claimed asylum in Austria last year, equivalent to about 1% of the Austrian population, and the Freedom Party has run a campaign against immigration.
While the presidency is a largely ceremonial post, the president has powers to dismiss the government.
Austria is faced with a stark choice for its head of state: a Green Party professor, Alexander Van der Bellen, or Norbert Hofer of the far-right Freedom Party - a soft-spoken, charismatic gun enthusiast who won a decisive victory in the first round of voting in April.
For the first time since the Second World War, the traditional parties of the centre left and centre right were knocked out of the race.
Support for the Freedom Party has risen because of deep frustration with the established parties and, more recently, because of fears about the migrant crisis.
Rightwing parties are gaining strength in a number of EU countries. European leaders will be watching the result closely.

In the first round, Mr Hofer secured 35% of the votes, while Mr Van der Bellen, polled 21%.
At his final election rally on Friday in Vienna, Mr Hofer, 45, sought to hammer home his message that immigrants needed to integrate.
"Those people who respect and love Austria and have found a new home here are warmly welcome," he said to applause.
"But those, it has to be said, those who do not value our country, who fight for Islamic State, or who rape women, I say to these people: this is not your homeland. You cannot stay in Austria."
The presidents of the European Commission and the European Parliament, Jean-Claude Juncker and Martin Schulz, have both expressed concern that Mr Hofer could win.
"I say to them very politely but firmly: we don't take orders from Brussels or Berlin," Mr Hofer said at the rally.
Mr Van der Bellen, 72, told his final rally in Vienna that it was likely to be a close race.
"I think it could be on a knife edge - fifty-fifty who will win, so this time, as with previous votes, but more than ever for this important election, every vote will count," he said.
At a news conference, he reflected: "As you know, I am 72 years old and I've experienced how Austria rose from the ruins of World War Two, caused by the madness of nationalism."
The two rivals had engaged in an angry TV debate earlier in the week, described as "political mud-wrestling" by commentators.
Such was the political shock at the far right's first-round win that the Chancellor (prime minister), Werner Faymann, resigned after losing the support of his Social Democratic party colleagues.
The Social Democrats and the People's Party have governed Austria for decades, either alone or in coalition.
At the last general election in 2013, they together won just enough votes to govern in a "grand coalition".
Incumbent President Heinz Fischer, 77, could not run again after two terms in office.
Eight men are on trial charged in connection with the sexual abuse of three girls between 1999 and 2003.
The men, who are accused of rape, indecent assault and other offences, deny the charges.
Jurors at Sheffield Crown Court has been hearing police interviews with the woman who is now in her twenties.
One woman, who said she was sexually assaulted as a 13-year-old in 2003 by a group of Asian men, described being plied with alcohol and drugs and passed around for sex.
On one occasion, she said, a gun was held to her head by an unnamed man in a car.
He said he was going to shoot her, counted down from three and pulled the trigger but the gun was empty, she told police.
Asked by officers what she thought of the incident, the woman said: "I took it as a sort of warning, like I shouldn't say anything."
During police interviews she told how she was forced to have sex with men in Clifton Park and in an alleyway in Rotherham town centre.
"They'd start off nice and get more aggressive when I said no. No was just not an option", the woman told police.
She said the men told her she owed them money for the alcohol and drugs they'd given her and said she had to pay it back by going with them for sex.
The trial continues.
Conservative Gary Streeter told the Plymouth Herald that travellers in a local park were "a nuisance" and "as vulnerable as Ghengis Khan".
But Yvonne MacNamara, CEO of the Traveller Movement, branded the comments "deplorable".
"Hostile comments such as these "normalise" racism", she said.
Ms MacNamara said since the referendum vote to leave the European Union there had been a "dramatic" increase in hate crimes and as an MP, Mr Streeter had a duty to foster good race relations.
In a tweet, she said a shooting in Salford on a traveller site this week was being treated by police as a hate crime.
"I fear comments like Mr Streeter's will only increase the likelihood of such violent incidents," she added.
Mr Streeter said on Wednesday, his reference to the Mongolian invader was meant to question their status as a vulnerable group, but added: "If people get upset by it, that's up to them."
The MP for Devon South West was commenting on a group which set up camp at Trefusis Park in Lower Compton, Plymouth.
Four banks had wanted to negotiate with Apple to gain access to its payments technology for their own apps, avoiding having to pay fees to Apple.
But the country's competition watchdog has now barred them from collectively bargaining with Apple.
The decision is the first of its kind and could set a global precedent.
In its final ruling on the case on Friday, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) said that the collective threat to boycott Apple was "likely to reduce or distort competition".
They wanted their own apps to have access to the contactless payment technology used in iPhones.
The near field communication (NFC) system allows users to settle bills by holding their phone to a small terminal, with the money deducted from a bank card registered with Apple Pay.
Commonwealth Bank, Westpac, National Australia Bank and Bendigo & Adelaide Bank together command around two-thirds of Australia's credit card market.
But so far, they do not allow their cards to be used with Apple Pay because they have never reached agreement on the conditions.
Doing so would have put them in a much stronger position against Apple.
They wanted to convey to Apple that unless it gave them access to its iPhone technology, they would continue to prevent their customers from using Apple Pay.
Apple Pay collects a fee from the bank for each transaction, meaning Apple risked a significant loss.
But the commission said that ruling in favour of the banks would have reduced competition by forcing Apple to act more like Google, who's more open Android operating system allows contactless payments from individual apps.
"It is a tricky issue for a competition regulator to force one competitor to adopt a strategy of the other competitor," ACCC chairman Rod Sims explained.
It certainly looks like it.
They can still negotiate with Apple individually, but with much less bargaining power than they had hoped for.
If a single bank blocks its customers from using Apple Pay, it might well be the bank that loses out. Customers could be unhappy about being left out and switch to another bank.
In fact, some of the other Australian banks that do allow their cards to be uses for payment via Apple have seen an increase in customers since the gridlock between Apple and that group of four.
Representative for the banks said they were "disappointed" by the decision and would review their future strategies.
Moshe Fuerst, 17, suffered a fractured skull during an assault at Bowker Vale Metrolink station, which police are treating as an anti-Semitic hate crime.
He had been waiting for a tram with friends when he was verbally and physically assaulted, police said.
Officers arrested two boys in Whitefield, Bury, and Derbyshire.
A third teenager from Prestwich, Bury, was arrested after he attended a police station.
The three, all aged 17, are being held on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm and violent disorder.
Two men, 18, and a 20-year-old man were also hurt during the incident on Saturday at about 23:40 BST.
Det Insp Liam Boden of Greater Manchester Police appealed for witnesses to come forward to what he described as a "sustained and unprovoked attack".
He said: "There are two distinct scenes, as we believe the victims were chased from the platform to Middleton Road and that is where the most serious assault took place.
"We believe the offenders then alighted the Metrolink towards Bury at around 23:35, travelling between Bowker Vale and Radcliffe."
Det Insp Boden added: "We know there were people on this tram and that they would have noticed these offenders travelling between carriages, as it would have been obvious that at least one of them had been involved in an assault."
Moshe Fuerst's father Rabbi Michael Fuerst called the attack "shocking" and claimed his son's religion "added to the intensity" of the assault.
He said: "Primarily this attack was about violence and bullying, but it had that element of anti-Semitism which carried it to a more severe level."
The family said the teenager was recovering and hoped he would leave hospital in the next week.

The Edinburgh-based bank's underlying pre-tax profit increased by 33% last year to £213.3m.
Gross mortgage lending was up 12%, at £8.4bn, giving the bank a 3.4% share of the UK mortgage market.
However, its impairment charges rose by £7.3m to £37.6m, with most of the rise coming in its credit card business.
The bank said that reflected increased credit card lending, which climbed by 55% to £2.4bn.
Meanwhile, retail deposit balances were up by 12%, at £28.1bn.
Virgin Money's overall customer base increased at a rate of more than 35,000 customers per month, to reach 3.3 million.
The lender said that rise was driven "predominantly" through digital channels.
Chief executive Jayne-Anne Gadhia said: "We continue to target high-quality lending growth and the combination of strong new mortgage lending and improved customer retention resulted in 17% growth in mortgage balances to £29.7bn, significantly outpacing the market.
"Our credit card business continues to flourish and 55% growth in prime credit card balances to £2.4bn means we remain well-placed to reach our target of £3bn high-quality credit card balances at the end of 2017.
"The performance of our Essential current account was particularly strong and customer balances increased more than fivefold over the year."
Perhaps it was from a Saturday night watching John Wayne in The Black Sands of Iwo Jima. That came long before Clint Eastwood made the tiny island famous again with Flags of Our Fathers and Letters From Iwo Jima.
To me as a child in England it was a strange exotic name for a place I never imagined I would see. So you can perhaps imagine my excitement as our plane banks sharply to the left and the unmistakable volcanic cone of Mount Suribachi appears in my window.
As the plane touches down the flight attendant's voice comes over the intercom. "Ladies and gentlemen welcome to Iwo Jima, before leaving the aircraft please make sure you have not forgotten any of your carry on items."
It sounds so normal. It is anything but.
Iwo Jima, a military base, is open to outsiders for only one day each year, and then only to US veterans, their families, and a very few journalists travelling with them.
Seventy years on from the terrible battle that was fought here, 26 veterans have come back. The youngest is in his late eighties. Most are in their early nineties. For most this is the first time they have seen the island since 1945. The excitement and emotion is palpable.
Standing on the runway we stare at the hulking mass of Mount Suribachi four miles (7km) away on the southern tip of the island. In 1945 it was a Japanese fortress, a warren of tunnels, bunkers and gun emplacements. More than 500 young Marines died on the first day of battle, many of them from fire coming from Suribachi.
It took four days for the Marines to fight their way to the top where they planted a US flag. The photo of them doing so has become perhaps the most famous war photograph ever taken.
Today the elderly veterans are whisked up the mountain by minibus. I am left to walk.
An hour later as I reach the top one of the old men is playing The Halls of Montezuma on a harmonica. Behind him two more are once again raising the Stars and Stripes over the mountain.
Standing nearby is Hershel "Woody" Williams. Hanging around his neck is the Congressional Medal of Honor, America's highest award for bravery. On the day they raised the flag here, Woody was far below assaulting Japanese bunkers with a flamethrower. It was perhaps the most dangerous job in the Marine Corps.
"I am thinking of those who didn't make it home," he tells me. "I am thinking of the heroes who died here. I lost three of my closest friends here. I am not a hero, they are."
Through the smoke and chaos of the battle on the plain below, Woody looked up and saw the Stars and Stripes flying over the mountain. A cheer rippled through the US lines. The ships offshore blew their horns.
"It was the flag that made the difference," he says. "It was was the first time we had taken Japanese territory. This was the first time in all the fighting that we got part of their country. That said to us, and to those back in America, we are winning this thing. Up until that point there were a lot of us who didn't think we were."
All but one of the veterans on Mount Suribachi today is American. The exception is a small Japanese gentleman in suit and tie standing slightly apart. For 88-year-old Tsuruji Akikusa there is nothing to celebrate. Looking down from the mountain he too is filled with memories, awful ones. As he turns to me, tears well up in his eyes.
"It is very hard," he says. "In my mind images of what happened then have suddenly come flooding back. I feel very, very sad."
In 1945, Mr Akikusa was an 18-year-old radio operator in the Japanese navy. On the morning of 19 February he looked out from his bunker and saw the vast American invasion force.
I was overwhelmed," he says. "How could they have so many ships? There were more than the entire Japanese navy. It was then I realised we were going to lose the war."
In the opening naval barrage Mr Akikusa was badly injured. Three fingers were blown off his right hand. As the battle raged on for week after week, conditions in the tunnels beneath Iwo Jima grew worse and worse. They had run out of ammunition and were slowly starving. Mr Akikusa even ate the maggots feeding on his suppurating wounds.
But surrender was unthinkable.
With their own casualties mounting, the Americans resorted to more and more extreme measures.
"They pumped water into our cave," Mr Akikusa says. "We were all filthy. The cave stank of excrement and dead bodies. So some jumped in to the water to wash. Then the water exploded. Gasoline had been mixed with the water. The cave became a sea of flame.
"People were burning; their skin was hanging and bleeding. It was like hell."
It wasn't until the end of April that Mr Akikusa was dragged from the tunnels, starving and semi-conscious, by a US Marine. At the end of the battle 20,000 Japanese troops were dead. Only 1,000 survived. For years after returning home Mr Akikusa suffered in silence, not telling anyone what had happened to him. Even today, Iwo Jima is a story Japan struggles to deal with.
There is no such anguish for the Americans. Instead there is much excitement that Mr Akikusa is here.
Every US veteran wants to shake his hand and have a photo taken together. Whether this is a poignant moment of reconciliation, or memento-gathering, I am not sure. Even after 70 years there is still a gulf in understanding.
But, whether victor or vanquished, the old men here on Iwo Jima do share one thing, that is abhorrence of war.
The referendum saw 48,593 people vote to retain the status quo, while 42,677 voted to have an elected mayor.
The poll had been notable for the lack of campaigning either in favour of an elected mayor or against one.
Manchester City Council leader Sir Richard Leese said a majority of almost 6,000 was "a very clear rejection" by the people of Greater Manchester.
Labour's Sir Richard said he was ready to keep representing the wishes of voters in the city.
"We now need to get on and make it work," he said.
The turnout for the referendum was 25%.
Had the city voted in favour in the referendum, one of 10 held in England, an election for mayor would have taken place on 15 November.

For decades the vast green fields of this region, were one of the world's top sugar producing hubs, catering to increasingly sweet tooth of global consumers.
Then over the last two decades and after many technological advances, sugarcane became more profitable as fuel rather than food.
This green opportunity turned Sertaozinho into a global biofuel powerhouse. The city specialised in every aspect - from planting and harvesting sugarcane to building complex biofuel power plants.
With Chinese-like growth figures, Sertaozinho prospered, to the point where it did not have enough workers to fill all the available jobs.
But in the last three years, low petrol prices in Brazil have plunged the town into its worst crisis in 30 years.
Many of its biofuel factories have closed and jobs are now scarce.
Biofuel heaven
Brazil is known for having one of the world's most advanced green transport programmes.
It has the world's largest fleet of flex-fuel cars.
In the past decade, much of its economy embraced sugarcane-based ethanol as an energy source.
It is widely available in gas stations across the country. The majority of new cars are able to run on either petrol or sugarcane-based ethanol.
The government played a key role in boosting this alternative.
Ethanol prices are not always competitive against petrol, as they can be affected by seasonal variations and bad harvests.
As an incentive for national producers, Brazilian legislators made it mandatory to include ethanol into the petrol mix. A tax was also levied on all fossil fuels.
Brazil's former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva promoted biofuels abroad with a strategy informally known as "ethanol diplomacy".
Sertaozinho's wealthy ethanol producers were hailed as "national heroes" by Lula, who proposed ethanol as a solution to Africa's energy problems.
But in recent years, as Brazil's economy slowed down, ethanol was one of the hardest hit sectors.
While oil prices were high globally, petrol was kept artificially cheap for consumers in Brazil by the state run oil company Petrobras.
Fossil fuels received incentives, as Brazil's government moved to tackle another issue: inflation.
Paulo Furquim de Azevedo, an Economics professor at Sao Paulo's Insper business school, says Brazil's government did not act deliberately to hurt its ethanol industry, but its economic policy ended up damaging the sector.
"The government was concerned about macroeconomic short-term issues, like the control of inflation. And this led the government to not take care properly of its energy policy", says Azevedo.
"The government did whatever it could to decrease the price of gasoline, which is very important in its inflation index."
Bankruptcies
This policy plunged Sertaozinho into its worst crisis in 30 years.
Three out of seven major biofuel plants went bankrupt and now once again the town's producers are having to change tack.
Top biofuel producers like Jairo Balbo have started investing in food again. His group is now putting most of its effort into organic sugar for European markets.
"We adapt what we produce according to how the markets react. There were years when we would use 60% of our sugarcane to produce ethanol and 40% for sugar", says Balbo.
"But now with our sugar project, we have a mix of 65% of sugarcane and the rest for ethanol."
Building biofuel-based power plants is also in decline. Ten years ago, firms would contact the local job centre to fight over workers like Josival da Silva.
A trained welder, he has not had a steady job for over four years. Most of his former employers are out of business.
"From 2003 to 2008 my life was very nice", says Silva. "But from 2009 things started getting critical - not just for me but for everyone around me. And things are only getting worse."
"Unemployment is high and we have terrible working conditions."
But perhaps local producers have more to look forward to in the coming months.
Brazil has overhauled its economic policy again this year, and ethanol is once again a priority.
The mandatory mix of ethanol in petrol has increased - from 25% to 27.5%, and the levy on fossil fuel has been reinstated.
More importantly, subsidies to petrol have been terminated. Government incentives and Brazil's weak currency are helping to keep ethanol more competitive than petrol. And ethanol sales are up again this year.
Ibrahim Halawa was 17 when he was arrested during a siege on the Al-Fath mosque in Cairo in 2013.
The 20-year-old could face the death penalty.
Irish Minister for Foreign Affairs Charlie Flanagan said he was disappointed by this latest delay.
"I remain very concerned about the length of time that Ibrahim has spent in detention and I have conveyed this concern directly to the Egyptian government," he said.
On Thursday, the European Parliament voted in favour of a resolution calling on the Egyptian government to immediately release him.
However, Egypt's foreign ministry rejected the request as a "violation of the independence" of its judiciary, the Associated Press reported.
Mr Flanagan said the case was a high priority for his department, and the Irish government was represented by embassy officials at Saturday's hearing in Cairo.
"While the lengthy nature of the trial and the many adjournments are clearly frustrating for Mr Halawa and his family, and for all of us who wish to see Ibrahim home in Ireland, the government is resolutely focused on achieving a positive outcome for this citizen at the earliest time possible," he said.
Mr Halawa faces a mass trial along with more than 400 other defendants.
Egyptian authorities have alleged that Mr Halawa attended two illegal protests in August 2013.
He has denied the charges and said he was taking refuge from violent clashes between security forces and protestors in the Cairo mosque.
Mr Halawa was on a family holiday to Egypt when he and his three sisters were arrested during a crackdown on protestors in the country's capital.
His sisters were allowed to return to Dublin in November 2013.
Louise Richardson says Oxford was "very good" as a university, but had "no experience" of running schools.
The call for universities to help set up schools was part of the proposals to expand grammar schools.
But Prof Richardson said to become involved in the government's plans for changing schools would be a "distraction from our core mission".
The government's Green Paper on grammar schools proposes that universities should have to either sponsor a school or help set up a new school - otherwise they would not be able to charge higher tuition fees.
About 60 universities, including Birmingham and King's College London, already sponsor or support schools - and the government argues that the expertise of universities should be harnessed to improve schools and drive social mobility.
But Oxford vice-chancellor Prof Richardson said that her university should focus on what it knew best, which was delivering higher education.
Oxford was named as the best in the world in global rankings published on Wednesday.
"We're very good at running a university. But we have no experience of running schools, so I think it would be a distraction," said Prof Richardson.
"We're deeply sympathetic to the idea of social mobility through education - and we have extensive relationships with schools."
But she said it was "insulting" to head teachers and school leaders to think that universities could step in and do a better job of running schools.
The university revealed earlier this year that it would be admitting the highest proportion of state school students for at least 40 years.
This followed spending of £6m per year on outreach projects with schools, encouraging state school pupils to apply.
But Prof Richardson said that such work was separate from running a school and that the university should not take on activities that would "distract our time, energy and resources".
The Oxford vice-chancellor also argued for the importance of free speech and for allowing university students to hear views they might find "objectionable".
And she said she opposed both the government's Prevent anti-extremism strategy and students who wanted to have "safe spaces", where views they found offensive would not be allowed, on campus.
A Department for Education spokeswoman said: "There are already some excellent examples of universities sponsoring schools - they have expertise that can really help improve our education system, and it's in their own interests to improve attainment in schools.
"With 1.25 million children in underperforming schools, we have put forward new proposals, asking how our world-leading higher education sector can help make more good school places available.
Wall Street's three main indexes shed more than 1.7%, and the dollar erased most gains made since his election.
Asia's main stock markets also fell following the losses in New York.
Japan's Nikkei 225 index closed down 1.3% while Hong Kong's Hang Seng index dropped 0.6%.
That follows the S&P 500's biggest one-day fall since September. It closed 1.8% lower at 2,357 points.
But the biggest plunge was the tech-heavy Nasdaq which lost 2.6% to 6,011.
Greg McKenna, chief market strategist at AxiTrader in Sydney said the falls in Asia were "all about President Trump".
Optimism over the Trump administration's pro-growth policies had driven a sharp rally in US stocks since his election in November.
But the row over the firing of FBI director James Comey, and growing scepticism about Mr Trump's ability to push major policies through Congress has cast a cloud over markets.
Mr McKenna said the uncertainty could continue for few days yet with Mr Comey due to address a congressional committee next week.
The concerns are shared by traders on Wall Street.
"It's kind of worrisome as it could take time to muddle through this," said Joseph Benanti, managing director, at share trader Rosenblatt Securities, in New York.
Although the Oval Office has furiously denied wrongdoing over Mr Comey's sacking and claims Mr Trump passed on sensitive intelligence information to Russia, some commentators have even spoken about impeachment.
"Calls for President Trump to be impeached are growing louder and that has created a long overdue sense of fear in markets," said market analyst Jasper Lawler at London Capital Group.
Mike van Dulken, head of research at Accendo Markets, said investors are having to "digest the latest real-life episode of House of Cards".
At the very least, analysts say, it will all be a distraction for the administration and may stall the introduction of spending plans and market-friendly legislation.
However, the Republican Speaker of the House of Representatives, Paul Ryan, insisted that the administration's legislative agenda was not becoming paralysed, blaming "some people out there who want to harm the president".
Financial stocks, big risers over the last few months, bore the brunt of Wednesday's share price falls. Goldman Sachs fell more than 5% and JP Morgan Chase fell 3.8%.
Eight of the 11 major S&P 500 sectors were lower. However, utilities and real estate sectors - preferred investment options in times of uncertainty due to their slow but predictable growth - were higher.
Gold, another haven asset, rose 0.9%, and the so-called "fear index", the VIX, reached its highest level in nearly one month.
On the currency markets, the dollar was down 0.6% against the euro and 0.35% lower against the pound. The greenback fell almost 1.9% against the Japanese yen, which has been a traditional haven for risk-averse investors.
The dollar index, which tracks the value of the currency against a basket of currencies, is down 0.6% to 97.5, its weakest since November.
Jeremy Bryan, Gradient Investments, said the uncertainty could continue through the summer and beyond. "We're largely through the earnings season, so political uncertainty is probably going to be the largest source of risk in the next three to six months," he said.
New gates, made from a series of polished stainless steel posts and toughened glass panels are to be installed next year.
The design was described as "classy and contemporary" by residents in the city who took part in a public consultation on the project.
The pier and lighthouse are a Grade II listed structure. The pier took 18 years to build and opened in 1903.
Sunderland City Council's culture spokesman Denny Wilson, said the new gates - dubbed Lightwave - would create "an impressive new entrance to one of the seafront's best-loved landmarks."
He added: "The seafront is one of our greatest assets.
"This is just the first of a number of improvements people can expect to see to the seafront over the next 18 months following the consultation we carried out last year."
Sunderland was awarded £1m from the Commission for the Built Environment (CABE) to revamp the area and was boosted by £500,000 of extra funding from the city council.
Fiona Heron, who designed the gates, said: "Lightwave aims to capture the spirit of the place using ideas of reflection and movement linked with the sea and the effect of light on glass prisms.
"I hope to help re-invigorate the scene with an exciting high quality artwork which brings out the best in art and design."
The 25-year-old became the first amputee sprinter to take part in the Olympics in the men's 400m heats and added another first when a reprieve put South Africa into the relay final.
"To step out here in an Olympic final is more than I could ever have hoped for," Pistorius said.
"The experience has been phenomenal and far beyond my expectations."
Pistorius, who is known as the "Blade Runner" because of the prosthetic carbon fibre limbs he runs with, has worked hard over the last four years to compete in London.
In 2008, the South African won a long battle with athletics' governing body, the IAAF, to compete against able-bodied athletes.
I never set out to prove a point, but I do feel I have made the point
But there had been further doubt this year that Pistorius would get his chance to run in the Olympics when the South African team warned they would "not take passengers to London" after Pistorius failed to clock the qualifying "A" standard for a second time.
"It has been a great achievement for me to come here and compete," said Pistorius, who was able to run in the 400m after winning selection for the relay team.
"I never set out to prove a point, but I do feel I have made the point. It's been a privilege to be on the track with all the other phenomenal athletes.
"If I took all the positive things I thought might come out of this and multiply it by 10, it still couldn't come close.
"This week has just been one of the biggest blessings for me. It's taught me a lot.
"All in all, this was such a successful campaign for us. I wanted to make the semi-finals in the individual. I wanted to make the final in the 4x400m. We could never have hoped for half the support we've received."
Pistorius bowed out of the individual 400m semi-finals in London with a time of 46.54 seconds. South Africa finished eighth in the 4x400m relay with a season's best time of 3:03.46 seconds.
LJ van Zyl, who handed the baton to Pistorius, said: "It was a privilege to run the final and a bigger privilege to run the relay with Oscar.
"I think 10 or 20 years from now we will still remember the day when we ran with Oscar at the Olympics."
Pistorius will defend his 100m, 200m and 400m titles at the Paralympic Games in London later in August before turning his attention to his long-term goal, the 2016 Rio Olympics.
Tracey and Andrew Buckett, of Drayton, Norfolk, took their three children to the Algarve in October last year.
Although one Norfolk school approved the absence, the two others refused permission.
The pair admitted the unauthorised absences at Norwich Magistrates' Court in a prosecution brought by Norfolk County Council.
Mr Buckett said despite the fine the trip was still cheaper than paying for a holiday during the school holidays.
"I think it's a victory today, it could have gone bad for us but we stood to our guns," he said.
"We think the whole system is unfair, to be dictated to by the schools when and when we cannot take our kids out of school.
"I think those legislations need to be changed."
Mrs Buckett was fined £120 and made to pay a £30 victim surcharge. Mr Buckett was fined £120, ordered to pay £150 costs and a £30 victim surcharge.
Taverham Junior School and Taverham High School denied the Bucketts permission for the absence but Nightingale Infant School approved it.
Paul Stanley, head teacher of Taverham Junior School, said he was unhappy with the high prices charged by leisure firms for holidays during school holidays compared with term-time costs.
"We had 60 requests for absences during half term - that gives you an idea of how regularly we have to make these decisions," he said.
A Norfolk County Council spokesman said: "Ultimately it is head teachers who decide whether or not to take action.
"As the local authority, we can undertake the administrative duty of prosecuting parents on behalf of the school or academy that wishes to take action, including deciding whether to proceed based on the evidence provided by the school."
He said the Scottish government's proposed Islands Bill would be shaped by a public consultation.
The legislation is to be brought forward during the next 12 months - within the first year of the new parliamentary session.
Shetland, Orkney and Western Isles councils have been calling for greater control over local matters.
The local authorities launched the campaign, Our Islands - Our Future, in the lead up to 2014's Scottish independence referendum.
The campaign sought commitments from the Scottish and UK governments to devolve more powers to the island councils.
Mr Yousaf said island communities made a "significant contribution" to Scotland's culture and economy.
He said: "We have placed the aspirations and needs of our island communities at the centre of our empowerment agenda.
"Drawing on the work of both the Island Areas Ministerial Working Group and the consultation findings, the bill will provide lasting benefits for all our island communities for generations to come.
"I believe that this demonstrates our strong and continued support for our island communities and our desire to deliver quickly on the election promises set out in our manifesto."
Angus Campbell, leader of Comhairle nan Eilean Siar, said those involved in the Our Islands - Our Future campaign were pleased that the legislation was to be progressed.
He said: "Together with our colleagues in Orkney and Shetland we have worked closely with the Scottish government with the aim of bringing forward an Islands Bill for the benefit of island communities in Scotland.
"I am delighted that we are now in a position where the bill is imminent.
"This will form the basis for island-proofing in future legislation and policies and the creation of a National Islands Plan."
A Cambridge University team is calling for insurance reforms to be explicitly mentioned in the UN's forthcoming Sustainable Development Goals.
They outlined their proposals at an insurance summit at the UN, New York.
G7 leaders recently pledged to help 400 million people have access to insurance cover against extreme weather events.
The researchers produced a policy brief that was presented to the global gathering at the UN headquarters.
"My role was to highlight the policy implications of having insurance at the centre of requirements to protect exposed populations," explained policy-brief author Ana Gonzalez Peleaz, a fellow from the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership.
"The lack of effective insurance regulation is a problem for accessing insurance across all parts of society."
For example, she told BBC News, there were a number of nations that did not allow mutual insurance companies - these are companies that are wholly owned by policyholders, with the sole purpose of providing cover for its members and policyholders.
"The lack of regulation can have devastating consequences for customer protection and also insurers cannot really grow if the regulatory environment is not supportive."
The policy brief, quoting UN data, said that, over the past two decades natural disasters had affected 4.4 billion people and had claimed 1.3 million lives.
"Both developed and developing countries are affected by natural hazards and associated disasters, of which 70-80% are driven by climate-related risks," it observed.
Critical year
The summit was attended by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, who told delegates that the insurance industry could and must play a strong role in shaping a more sustainable future and urged it to show strong leadership.
"This is a critical year for action," Mr Ban said, referring to a series of high-level gatherings, including a UN sustainable development summit in September and the UN climate summit in December.
"With these events, the world has an historic opportunity to adopt a new set of sustainable development goals and to put the world on track for long-term, low-carbon, climate-resilient growth."
Mr Ban's comments came weeks after the G7 Summit in Germany at which leaders of the world's leading economies pledged to increase access to insurance for 400 million people in the most vulnerable nations by 2020.
However, Dr Gonzalez Peleaz said that despite the recognition of the important role the insurance sector could play, there was no explicit reference to access to insurance in the text for the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are set to be published in September and will succeed the UN Millennium Development Goals.
"Something like the SDGs is not going to be repeated for another 15 or 20 years so just to have an awareness of the issue among governments would be a massive step to build on," she said.
"It is an opportunity of a generation.
"There is still a lot of work to be done but if we could just join forces at the moment, to build on this momentum to reach agreements will help us build a safer and more resilient world."
The lock, 35, was supposed to join Narbonne in France in the summer, ending a four-year stint with Leinster.
He picked up a season-ending injury in a Pro12 match against the Scarlets in March, but the problem turned out to be more serious than first thought.
"It's just sad because I played my last game without knowing it, that decision was taken away from me," he said.
London-born McCarthy had two spells with Connacht before joining Leinster in 2013.
He made his international debut in 2011 and earned 19 caps for Ireland.
McCarthy said: "Unfortunately I had been ruled out for the season anyway with a back and an elbow issue, but there was also an elbow injury in training, and that injury has left the elbow in a pretty bad way.
"I was massively excited to go [Narbonne]. It's a beautiful part of France to live, down by the south coast, and and I was looking forward to contributing on the field over the next two seasons.
"But you have to listen to the medics, you have to back their advice."
The only daily newspaper, Jornal de Angola, and the terrestrial TV service TPA are state-owned and rarely criticise the government.
State-run Radio Nacional de Angola (RNA) is the only outlet to offer programmes in indigenous languages such as Bantu. Private stations operate in cities, including Catholic Radio Ecclesia, but RNA is the only broadcaster with near-national coverage.
The constitution provides for freedom of expression.
Nonetheless, the authorities impede the work of journalists and security forces have targeted reporters, especially those covering anti-government protests and corruption, says US-based NGO Freedom House.
Pay TV is provided by MultiChoice Angola and TV Cabo.

The Football Association of Malawi (FAM) released a statement after the Malawi government refused the FA permission to hire an expatriate coach.
The FA had proposed the hiring of a foreign coach on a 50-50 cost sharing agreement with government.
After months of consultation, the government through the Ministry of Sport, rejected FAM's proposal on financial grounds.
A meeting of the FAM executive committee then agreed that Malawi should withdraw from the two continental competitions.
"Having considered all the available options, and in accordance with required notices for withdrawal, it was further resolved that the Malawi National Senior Football team be withdrawn from CHAN Competition by 31st March, and from AFCON by 30th April 2017, due to lack of funding."
Malawi were drawn against Madagascar in their opening match of the 2018 CHAN qualifying campaign which gets underway in April.
They were set to meet the winners of the tie between Comoros and Mauritius at home on 13 June in their first 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.
Malawi has been without a national coach since September 2016 when Burundian Nsanzurwimo Ramadhan took charge for just one match, leading the Flames to a 1-0 victory over Swaziland in a 2017 Nations Cup qualifier.
He had taken charge following the sacking of Ernest Mtawali in July of the same year.
Malawi's withdrawal from both the Nations Cup and CHAN is expected to attract a hefty fine from the Confederation of African Football (Caf) but FAM General Secretary Alfred Gunda said it would be better to pay the fine than remain in competitions which the country cannot afford.
'If we are avoiding the fines then it means we should have the finances to participate which are much more huge, so with that we will look around and see how best we can pay the fines"
"We may need to negotiate on paying the fines in instalments although we know it will have to be ourselves (FAM) to foot the fines" he said.
The 26-year-old Welshman, who can also play in defence, has played 62 times since joining the Gills from AFC Wimbledon in the summer of 2014.
"It's nice to get recognition for what I've contributed over the past couple of seasons," he told the club website.
"I feel we're moving forward and it's an exciting time to be a part of this team."
Smith, 30, has made 176 appearances for the Hatters, including 35 last season.
Fellow midfielder Jake Gray, 21, and striker Josh McQuoid, 27, have also been made available.
Manager Nathan Jones said he had to make tough decisions to try to improve on a season which saw them lose in the play-off semi-finals.
Jones told the club website: "I have to ask of each player; will they impact the team enough next season? Can I see them helping to take the club forward to where we want to be? We also have to be fair to the players themselves. Will they get enough football?
"My view is that they won't, so it is best that we make them available."
The Hatters had already released five players on Sunday.
Four David Carvill points helped Armagh lead 0-7 to 0-5 but a Ciaran Clarke goal contributed to Antrim's 1-8 to 0-7 half-time advantage.
Armagh moved 1-10 to 1-9 up thanks to a Cahal Carvill goal but a run of eight straight points put Antrim in control.
Carvill's second goal cut the margin before Conor McCann netted for Antrim.
Antrim's run of eight unanswered points in the second half included five scores from Deaglan Murphy.
With overnight table-toppers Carlow being held to a 1-20 to 2-17 draw by Kildare, Antrim now lead the division by a point and they will secure a place in the Division Two A final if they avoid defeat in their final round-robin game against Westmeath at Ballycastle in two weeks.
The winners of the Division Two A final will then face the bottom team in Division One B in a promotion-relegation play-off.
The defeat keeps Armagh in relegation trouble ahead of their final game against Carlow in two weeks.
London and Armagh both remain on one point, although the Exiles are in the automatic relegation spot on scoring difference, having drawn with the Orchard County in the second round of fixtures.

Irishman Rooney, who has scored 19 goals this season, has been ruled out until mid-April with a thigh injury.
"You either feel sorry for yourself and have a victim's mentality, thinking 'Poor us' or you see it as someone else's opportunity," McInnes said.
"I'm delighted we've got Simon Church. He's got two goals in four games. If he can keep that up he'll be doing well."
Saturday's 1-1 draw with St Johnstone, after Celtic drew at Hamilton the previous day, was the third time in recent months the Dons had passed up an opportunity to make ground on the champions.
In late November Celtic drew 0-0 at home to Kilmarnock before Aberdeen drew 1-1 at Hamilton the following day, while after Celtic's 2-2 draw at Hearts on 27 December, Aberdeen were held to a 0-0 draw by Partick.
But McInnes denies his men have a mental block to overcome in their challenge to Celtic, who have a six-point lead with 11 games left.
"In terms of it being a mental thing, I think people look too much into that," he added. "There's no doubt it was a missed opportunity. That's why we're all frustrated.
"But we've been on a good run and the players deserve credit for where we are. But we're always striving for more.
"Of course we'd rather have Adam fit. There's not many teams - if any - who wouldn't want him in their side.
"But we will have to deal with it, as we have before. We have to make sure that little things like injuries, pitches being poor or referees' decisions don't stop us doing what we want to do."
Aberdeen opened the Premiership campaign with eight successive wins, and went a further 12 games unbeaten in the league from the start of November until their recent 3-1 defeat at Inverness Caley Thistle.
Midfielder Kenny McLean insists "everyone has to step up and take a bit of responsibility" to provide the goals required in Rooney's absence.
And the 24-year-old believes Wednesday's trip to face bottom side Dundee United at Tannadice can be the start of another long unbeaten run until the end of the season.
"Dundee United have turned a bit of a corner and will be scrapping for everything and fighting for their lives," he said.
"But we need to match that and show how much we want it too. We are confident we can go down there and get the three points.
"There is still plenty to play for. The runs we have been on this season shows how well we can do. We know we can go from now until the end of the season and win the majority - if not all - of our games. That is the way we need to look at it."
Police were called to Corn Hir near Llangefni at about 15:45 GMT on Thursday after the girl was struck by a grey Seat.
"The pedestrian, accompanied by a parent, have been airlifted to hospital with serious injuries," said Sgt Emlyn Hughes of North Wales Police.
The girl was taken to Ysbyty Gwynedd in Bangor.
The B5109 Cildwrn Road was closed for several hours and has now re-opened following investigations.
Their dedication to an ambitious style of play, the influence of a revolutionary manager and an unrivalled trophy haul led to admiration well beyond the shores of Catalonia. These days, though, they dominate headlines for very different reasons.
Performances on the pitch are no longer up to the standards of old, the trophies are starting to dry up, a transfer ban will stop them signing players until 2016, and in-fighting has led to early elections.
To cap it all, there is even talk that Lionel Messi might want to leave.
Only a few years ago, it seemed Barcelona could do no wrong.
Fourteen trophies won under Pep Guardiola with an exhilarating brand of football ensured the Catalans were regularly hailed as the best team in the world, while a regular supply of bright, young academy players suggested the future was in safe hands.
But things have taken a turn for the worse. Not a single major honour was won by Barça in 2014, while Atlético Madrid claimed the Spanish league at the Nou Camp on the last day of the season.
More damning still, the Blaugrana had to look on as Atletico and Real Madrid fought out an all La Liga Champions League final in Lisbon.
In response, Barcelona spent big, investing well over £100m on players ranging from goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders and forwards. Above all, they invested in Luis Suarez, paying around £75m for the Premier League's top scorer.
Yet despite the new names, many of the old problems persist, with Barça still struggling to raise their game to the heady levels of old.
Matters off the pitch haven't helped. Resignations, sackings, fall-outs and in-fighting have all marred the club in recent months, while a transfer ban, imposed after the club breached rules on signing international players under the age of 18, prevents them from signing players until 2016.
On paper, Barcelona's position as second in La Liga looks positive enough, as does their presence in the knockout stage of the Copa del Rey and Champions League.
The devil is in the detail, however. Performances have been poor, particularly against the toughest opponents, and, at a club that demands good football just as much as good results, fans have not been satisfied.
Unable to sign players in an effort to improve displays, Barcelona have to work with the tools they have - and that means looking to their famed youth academy for support.
Even the fabled Barça school of football isn't without its issues these days, however. The club's B team, whose sole purpose is to supply players to the senior side, sit one point above relegation from the Spanish Second Division.
Talent is certainly there, but there are worries that it is being mismanaged - and that could soon have an impact further up the food chain.
The tense atmosphere has only been worsened by the departure of Andoni Zubizarreta and Carles Puyol.
Zubizarreta was Barça's goalkeeper when they won their first European Cup in 1992 and had been working as director of football since 2010. On Sunday, he was sacked: a mixed record in the transfer market coupled with the need for a sacrificial lamb ensuring his time was up.
Zubizarreta's departure was followed the same day by the exit of his understudy, iconic former defender Puyol.
Captain of the club through the most successful period in its history, he had already decided to leave, but the timing of his announcement turned the move into a gesture of solidarity with his superior.
Both departures only served to increase the focus on the club's president, Josep Maria Bartomeu, who had already been suffering in the wake of diminishing returns on the field.
Pushed by critical voices within his own board of directors, he has decided to call elections this summer one year ahead of schedule.
In all likelihood, the 51-year-old entrepreneur and engineer will have to take on Joan Laporta, who oversaw the Blaugrana's golden era in the mid 2000s and is expected to run for presidency again.
Perhaps the biggest concern for supporters is the prospect of losing their best player and talisman, Messi.
The Argentine's answers have grown increasingly ambiguous when questioned on his long-term future at the club, while stories of a training ground confrontation with Luis Enrique - that neither the manager nor Bartomeu have denied - suggest something is not right.
The plot thickened further, when on the same day news of his fall-out with Enrique emerged, Messi mischievously decided to follow Chelsea and Blues players Filipe Luis and Thibaut Courtois on Instagram.
That may sound trivial, but murmurs that the London club are interested in signing the Argentine have been around for some time.
In reality, the prospect of another club signing Messi are slim, not least because of his 200m euros (£156.7m) buyout clause on a contract that runs until 2018.
More probable is that his actions were an attempt to speed up the process of change that many feel the club needs. With elections now called, it may well have worked.
One change that may well arrive sooner is the manager. A club icon in his playing days and a successful former B team coach, Enrique was hailed as the man to bring 'intensity' back to Barcelona when he arrived last summer, but so far he has failed to bring quality football along with it.
Defeats in big games against Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid, along with a bizarre refusal to repeat the same starting line-up twice have seen his status slip among supporters.
For the moment, the club insist he has their backing. With elections now on the agenda however, a change of coach may be the only calculated risk left to get voters on side should they continue to prove disgruntled.
Comparisons between his current situation and his failed stint at Roma in 2011 are increasingly frequent. That year, the Italians finished seventh, failing to qualify for either the Champions League or Europa League, a hint that his methods may not be suitable at bigger clubs.
The opinion of the local press is particularly important and, at the moment, neither Enrique nor the club's board of directors are popular.
Barcelona has two main daily sports papers that are consumed on a tabloid-like scale and their voice can often sway public opinion.
One particularly telling headline this week read: "This club will self-destruct in 3,2,1…"
A number of popular radio programs spend an increasing amount of their time debating the perceived incompetency of Barca both on and off the pitch, too.
Everything changes with elections on the table. Any act carried out by the Barcelona board henceforth can be seen as part of pre-electoral campaigning - and that means populism will be difficult to resist.
In the long-term, that could mean sacking Enrique should performances fail to improve, but a more imminent move will be bringing in a figure of importance from the club's past to fill the vacant sporting director role.
The best way to try and stabilise the situation would, of course, be by delivering convincing performances on the pitch, but the fixture list in the coming months does not bode well.
Atlético Madrid, who have just beaten Real Madrid 2-0 in their Copa del Rey last-16 first-leg tie, come to the Nou Camp this Sunday, while Manchester City lie in wait in the Champions League. In the cup, either a Clasico encounter or further confrontation with Atlético awaits in the next round. An already poor situation could quickly deteriorate further.
Even if Barcelona come out of those fixtures relatively unscathed, it is still unlikely to suppress public opinion for too long.
The Catalans may never return to the heady heights of the Guardiola era, but it is the speed with which they have fallen that stands out the most. Dragging them back to the top will be a huge challenge.
We're squashed into the corner of rather a noisy café and he is munching his way through a couple of apples washed down with Diet Coke. Not the most indulgent lunch.
He has been on a diet for more than four years and has lost a great deal of weight.
Something I want to ask him about after the politics.
"I'm trying to be composed," Lord Falconer tells me. "But I feel very, very anxious about it."
The former Lord Chancellor is talking about the two recent by-elections, Stoke and Copeland. Both were Labour seats, Stoke they won, Copeland they lost to the Conservatives.
"Does it wake you up at night?" I ask him, "Yeah, It does".
He is relieved that they beat UKIP in Stoke but believes UKIP are in decline and worries about which party their supporters will turn to.
"A Copeland has never happened in my political lifetime. Copeland is basically a Labour seat, it's been a Labour seat for ever and ever and ever.
"It's not because what we are saying is wrong. For example, on anti-austerity we're in the right place. It's that our voices are drowned out."
Until last June he was shadow Lord Chancellor but resigned in the post-Brexit Labour meltdown, along with many of his colleagues.
Back then he called for the Labour leader to quit, now he is solidly behind Jeremy Corbyn, but says that they now need to concentrate on Labour policies, such as immigration.
"It's got to be clear that the Labour party has a clear and identifiable policy on immigration which recognises our obligation as a national UK party to promote the economic interests of the UK population.
"And that means restricting immigration from the EU, just as we restrict immigration from the non-EU."
The former Labour Prime Minister Tony Blair, a close friend of Lord Falconer's, recently called for people to rise up against Brexit.
It was a speech which the Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell was not best pleased with. He wrote that a "soft coup" was underway, which involved elements inside the Labour party and the Murdoch media empire trying to undermine Jeremy Corbyn.
I ask Lord Falconer about it. He is hesitant at first.
"I don't know, I mean we've got to just work together to make progress in relation to all of this.
"I can't explain it to you. Unity in relation to what the party is offering is really important, it doesn't mean that people can't express views about particular policy areas.
"I think it's wrong to say that an ex-prime minister expressing a view about Brexit is part of something else. Let's not go there.
"We've got to have a message that we all share, that we all talk about."
We order our pudding, for me a banana, for Lord Falconer yet another apple.
He sticks to his diet with the single minded determination of someone who is terrified of returning to his previous 16 stone. He is now under 12 stone.
"It's a stunning change. I was completely defeatist about the whole thing. I was obviously a fat person in my 60s. The best I could hope for was gradually creeping up to 20 stone in my 70s.
"But I feel so much better, I feel so much more confident."
He is clearly delighted. His diet consists of eating only apples and drinking Diet Coke during the day and eating whatever he likes in the evening.
He says his constant anxiety of returning to his former larger self keeps him going on the diet.
"I've got to keep on getting below 12 stone all the time. My family think I am mad."
I ask him if he is becoming obsessive.
"I am obsessive about it. If I have a big meal in the evening I think, 'God, I'm really fat.'"
"I don't think I am anorexic, but unless I remain anxious about the weight being put on, how will I not just start eating again? Because I like eating."
I ask him if his wife worries about him going too far.
"Yes she does, but this current equilibrium is where we have got to," he says.
Before he goes I ask him about his other anxiety - the future of the Labour party. Does he worry they might not get into power again?
"I do feel so strongly, we've got to back in. We've got to get back in. We've got to really try.
"I worry profoundly about what will happen if Labour does not get back in. I've seen that we're between 14 and 18 percentage points behind in some polls and that doesn't feel like we are standing on the verge of power at the moment."

Gary Wood, 42, was struck on Seaham Road in Houghton, the street where he lived, at about 21:40 BST on 2 June. He was taken to hospital in a critical condition and died on Wednesday.
Police said two cars were believed to be in convoy and both left the scene.
Liam Carr, of Langdon Road, Newcastle, appeared at South Tyneside Magistrates' Court on Thursday charged with death by dangerous driving.
The 19-year-old is also accused of failing to stop at an accident and perverting the course of justice.
A second man, 38-year-old Gareth Bainbridge of School Road, Houghton, appeared before magistrates charged with assisting an offender.
The pair were remanded in custody to appear at Newcastle Crown Court on 6 July.
Sir Peter Fahy, who is retiring in October, said forces do not have the resources to deal with the growing number of historical child abuse cases.
Speaking on Radio 4's Sunday programme, he said neighbourhood policing was also in "serious danger" due to the cuts.
The government previously said police would still have sufficient resources.
Sir Peter said: "Over this ten year period the police service will, in effect, have its budget cut in half in real terms.
"It's clearly very hard for somebody that is leaving the police to feel that a lot of the good things that I played a part in building around neighbourhood policing and some very pro-active policing against persistent criminals are now in serious danger.
"There's clearly a belief that policing needs to be cut, and I can understand that to a degree, but my concern is that there is not a realisation about the way the service will need to change."
Discussing child abuse, he said: "It's important that we publicise these cases... but we cannot afford the current level of enquiries.
"The current number of enquiries has gone up by 30% in the past year, it's forecast to go up the same next year - at a time where the police service is essentially being cut in half.
"We have got to, as a society, find a more proportional way of dealing with historical cases".
Sir Peter, a policeman since 1981, has been Greater Manchester's chief constable for seven years.
Following his retirement from the police, he will become chief executive of the children's charity Retrak.

Ciaran McClean, who is a member of the Green Party, says the pact breaches the Good Friday Agreement and the Bribery Act.
The DUP has agreed to support the minority Conservative government in important votes, in return for money for Northern Ireland.
A former government lawyer said the bribery claim was "spurious".
The government has said it believes the confidence and supply agreement is within the law.
Mr McClean has launched a crowdfunding campaign to fund the judicial review.
David Greene, Mr McClean's solicitor, said an application for a judicial review would be submitted either on Monday or Tuesday.
On his crowdfunding webpage, Mr McClean, who stood unsuccessfully for the Green Party in West Tyrone in June's election, says the government is "threatening hard-won peace" with its DUP deal.
"The Tories are being propped up by the DUP in order to cling to power after the recent election. This horrifies me. It's straight bribery - money for votes.
"The deal flies in the face of the Good Friday Agreement, under which the government is obligated to exercise its power with 'rigorous impartiality' on behalf of all the people in the diversity of their identities and traditions."
He is pursuing the legal challenge as an individual, not on behalf of the Green Party.
Mr McClean's solicitor is a senior partner at London-based Edwin Coe solicitors, who represented hairdresser Deir Tozetti Dos Santos, one of the claimants in the successful Brexit challenge in the Supreme Court.
Mr Greene told the BBC there had been a "public outcry" over the Tory-DUP deal.
"It's not a question of foisting views and the important point is this is about the rule of law," he said.
"This is about a citizen's entitlement to go in front of a court and say that doesn't look right and to be able to challenge it in some meaningful way."
Alberto Costa, former government lawyer and now MP for South Leicestershire, told the BBC the investment given to Northern Ireland as part of the deal was not a "personal inducement" and Prime Minister Theresa May had a constitutional duty to form a government.
He said the deal was "transparent and lawful" and the bribery claim was "vexatious" and "totally without merit".
Under the confidence and supply arrangement, the DUP guarantees that its 10 MPs will vote with the government on the Queen's Speech, the Budget, and legislation relating to Brexit and national security - while Northern Ireland will receive an extra £1bn over the next two years.
While rival parties in Northern Ireland have largely welcomed the additional funding, concerns have been raised that the deal could undermine the peace process and devolution negotiations, with the UK government dependent on the support of the DUP.
The deal was also widely criticised by opposition parties in the UK.
Labour branded it "shabby and reckless", while the Welsh First Minister Carwyn Jones called it a "straight bung" and said it "kills the idea of fair funding". | A mental health worker is to legally challenge the UK government's deal with the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP). | 40,547,775 | 699 | 25 | false |
The risk of transmission was "very low" and the presence of the infection in cats was "uncommon", they said.
In fact, humans get many of the same diseases as our pets and often people and animals can be infected from the same source.
Here we look at some of the main diseases that can be caught from our pets - and the risks involved.
The most common infection from cats is Cat Scratch Disease, which is caused by the Bartonella bacterium. People usually become infected after being scratched or bitten by a cat and experience swelling around the site of the scratch, and fatigue. It cannot be transmitted between people.
Cats are also the main carriers of the tiny T. gondii parasite that causes toxoplasmosis, but it's also found in dogs, sheep and cattle. The parasite is often found in the faeces of infected cats.
You may not know whether your cat is infected or not because cats don't usually show any symptoms.
If the parasite gets into the environment or food chain, it can be ingested by humans.
The greatest risk is to pregnant women, who could pass the infection on to their unborn baby, potentially causing brain damage and blindness, but severe congenital toxoplasmosis is rare - three in every 100,000 babies are born with the condition in the UK.
Up to a third of the UK population will acquire a toxoplasmosis infection at some point in their life but most people won't notice any symptoms. If symptoms do appear, they will be similar to flu or glandular fever.
A few years ago, the Health Protection Agency warned that families who keep reptiles as pets could be putting young children in the house at risk of a rare form of salmonella infection.
This is because reptiles, particularly snakes, carry the infection on their skin and shed it in their faeces.
Salmonella infection in people usually causes a mild illness with fever, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhoea. Babies and young children are more likely to develop a serious illness.
The advice? "Do not kiss your reptile," says Public Health England, and wash your hands thoroughly immediately after handling it.
Ticks can give both dogs and humans Lyme disease, but it is no more likely that a tick would transfer from pet to person than from human to hound.
The most common symptom is a red rash around the tick bite. Flu-like symptoms follow but if left untreated, Lyme disease can cause the joints to swell and lead to neurological problems.
Ticks that cause Lyme disease are commonly found in woodland and heath areas where dogs and their owners could be walking.
Rabies occurs mostly in dogs (and also in bats) but there is no risk to the general public in the UK from rabies in dogs.
Only four cases of human rabies from dogs have been identified in this country since 2000 - all of which were acquired from dogs abroad.
Rabies, a very serious viral infection, is usually transmitted through saliva from the bite of an infected dog. It causes a high fever and aggressive behaviour but it can also spread to the brain and nervous system, and can be fatal.
Developing countries, particularly in South and South East Asia, see most of the 55,000 deaths from human rabies in the world each year.
The most common rodents kept as pets in the UK are rats, mice, gerbils, hamsters, agouti, guinea pigs and chinchilla.
All rodents, says Public Health England, whether pets or wild, can carry bacteria and viruses that cause infections in people.
A current problem is hantavirus, a potentially life-threatening disease which has been found in a few people in England who handle pet rats.
Hantavirues can cause a range of diseases in humans - from a mild, flu-like illness to severe respiratory illness or kidney disease.
Other infections that can be transmitted to humans include leptospirosis, rat bite fever and a type of meningitis caused by a virus called lymphocytic choriomeningitis.
Although uncommon, these infections can have serious consequences.
Psittacosis is a bacterial infection that affects birds, particularly parrots. It can also affect other exotic species such as budgies, cockatiels and macaws as well as ducks, gulls, sparrows and hens.
It is an airborne disease that can be passed to people who own or work with exotic birds. It causes a high fever, diarrhoea, eye infection and bright red spots - but there are few cases in the UK.

People attending the festival on Anglesey on Monday were asked to take shuttle buses to the Bodedern Maes from the Anglesey Show ground at Mona.
But some visitors complained of waiting up to two hours for a bus.
Eisteddfod chief executive Elfed Roberts had urged visitors to "be patient".
He said the change was a "temporary measure" to conserve the ground.
"The rain yesterday was horrendous, that's what was at fault," Mr Roberts added.
"There are people complaining that there is some mud on the Maes, I don't think that any field anywhere would have coped with what we got last night.
"We all need to be patient, we need to calm down and not panic."
The shuttle bus system will stay in place on Tuesday.
Blue badge holders should park in Ysgol Uwchradd Bodedern, with a system in place to bring people to and from the Maes.
It is not clear when the video was shot, but the location has been identified as Rampur district in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.

He added that the police registered a case after the video went viral on social media.

The Saracens number eight, 24, tore cartilage during England's 27-14 defeat of Argentina at Twickenham on Saturday.
He had surgery on Sunday and is not expected to recover in time for the Six Nations, which begins on 4 February.
England will play Australia at Twickenham on Saturday in the last of their autumn internationals.
"Billy's been absolutely fantastic for England over the last 11 months and we wish him a quick recovery," said England head coach Eddie Jones.
"He's a very influential player in the set-up and there's no doubt he'll be missed for the game against Australia.
"We've had five or six frontline players missing throughout the series, so I've no doubt we'll adapt and work that little bit harder this week. I'm sure the players will respond to this by going up a level and peak for this game."
Vunipola was also set to be a key figure when Premiership leaders Saracens resume their defence of the European Champions Cup next month.
Back-row forward Jack Clifford has been added to the England squad for the game against Australia, although he will be assessed by the England medics after suffering a head injury while playing for Harlequins on Sunday.
Sale's Josh Beaumont is also part of the 33-man squad, but Gloucester's Ben Morgan has not been included.
Nathan Hughes is the leading candidate to start in place of Vunipola despite an ongoing foot problem.
Elliot Daly will miss the match against the Wallabies after his red card against Argentina. Sale's Mike Haley has been added to the squad in his place.

The 27-year-old, who has scored a try in each of his last five Tests, has been out of sorts since the World Cup.
"Personally, I can do a lot more in my performances," he told BBC Scotland.
"I need to be playing better. It is unrealistic to expect anything if my club form isn't where it needs to be. My only concern is this Racing game."
Seymour was one of four wings named in the Scotland squad along with club-mate Sean Lamont, Sean Maitland and Tim Visser - with the latter likely to miss the opening two matches.
The former Ulster wing returns to the Warriors side against the cash-rich French outfit on Saturday after missing their last three games with a hamstring injury.
Glasgow's hopes of European qualification may be all but over but after four defeats in a row, all away from home after their Pro 12 derby with Edinburgh was switched to Murrayfield, they are desperate to finish their campaign on a high.
"If we get a win here and put in a good performance, that can give us a hell of a lot of morale going forward into the league," said Seymour.
"Everyone is very much aware of the things we need to be doing better. From an 80-minute perspective we have let ourselves down on a few occasions. We just need to concentrate on getting back to the rugby we like to play and hopefully the 80 minutes will follow."
Despite a recent dip in form and results, Seymour is adamant that once the Champions Cup campaign is over, the Pro 12 champions are still capable of reaching this year's play-offs.
"Absolutely, without a doubt," he added. "We have put ourselves a little bit under the cosh by losing the two games against Edinburgh. We realise the pressure has probably increased on us but this group of players is completely capable of getting back into the play-off positions.
"We are under no illusions how difficult it will be but we are not the sort of side to lower our expectations because things have got a little bit harder. The next few games will be vital but we will be pushing all the way to get into those play-off spots."
Three years ago, Glasgow lost their first five European games before a last-minute victory against Northampton in their final pool match was the springboard for seven wins from their last nine Pro 12 games and a place in the play-offs.
Head coach Gregor Townsend is optimistic a similar outcome at Rugby Park on Saturday will spark a resurgence for the remainder of their league campaign.
"We have a couple of games in hand, and if we win them, we would be right back in that top four or five," he told BBC Scotland.
"We know we have got some very tough games coming up but this squad is capable of winning those. It will be down to how hard they work, how many opportunities they create and probably more importantly, how many they seize."
"The Birch", 71, a former Foxes player, was making a presentation at the Leicester Mercury Sports Awards when he collapsed on Thursday evening.
BBC Radio Leicester's Martin Ballard said about 500 people remained silent as he was treated by medical staff.
The use of a defibrillator saved his life, his doctor has confirmed.
Mr Birchenall, who is being cared for at Glenfield specialist heart hospital, helped raise money in 2015 for defibrillators to be used at 20 Leicestershire schools.
Earlier, he posted a message on his Facebook page thanking people for their "overwhelming" support.
He said he hoped to have an operation on Saturday and to be out of hospital next week.
Mr Birchenall collapsed when making a presentation for the Club of the Year award.
Seven of 15 awards were handed out at the ceremony, held at Leicester Tigers' Welford Road stadium, before the event was abandoned.
More on this story and other news in Leicestershire
Mr Ballard said: "Alan Birchenall joked about his beard and said to Claudio Ranieri [Leicester City manager]: 'You have to be good to get this award'.
"Then, he turned and collapsed at the back of the presentation stage.
"After a couple of minutes the audience realised the severity of the situation and up to 500 people hushed, many standing."
Leicester City, who said Mr Birchenall was among those representing the club at the awards, sent their "love and best wishes for a speedy recovery".
Sheffield United, who the attacking midfielder played for from 1963-67, also wished him well.
Snooker world champion and Leicester fan Mark Selby, who was named Sportsman of the Year at the ceremony, tweeted: "Thinking of you buddy."
'Mr Leicester City'
"The Birch" was born in East Ham, London, in 1945, but moved to Nottinghamshire when he was four years old.
He played for youth clubs in the county before he was spotted by Sheffield United. He went on to play for Crystal Palace and Chelsea.
However, the majority of his playing career was a six-year spell with Leicester City.
He made 163 appearances and scored 12 goals for the club.
The attacking midfielder later had spells with Notts County, Blackburn Rovers and Luton Town.
In 2002, Mr Birchenall was awarded an MBE for his charity work and seven years later he was given the Freedom of Leicester.
The 71-year-old has become synonymous with the Foxes in his role as club ambassador.
He is hugely popular with fans, pundits and many people connected with football.
According to new research, the extinct "sthenurine" family of giant kangaroos, up to three times larger than living roos, was able to walk on two feet.
Today's kangaroos can only hop or use all fours, but their extinct cousins' bones suggest a two-legged gait.
The biggest members of the family may not have been able to hop at all.
The study, published in the journal Plos One, is a detailed comparison between the size and shape of the bones found in living kangaroo species and those of the sthenurines, which died out some 30,000 years ago.
This extinct family ranged in size from quite small animals, around 1m tall, to the mighty Procoptodon goliah, which stood at a towering 2m and weighed 240kg - heavier than an adult male lion.
Compared to today's kangaroos they were extremely stocky, with a much shorter snout and only one toe on their hind feet rather than four. Instead of grazing, they used specialised arms to browse for food in trees and shrubs.
"We've known for a while that sthenurines were different in their dietary behaviour," said lead author Prof Christine Janis, a palaeontologist at Brown University in the US.
"But the idea that they might have used a different kind of locomotion has not been thought about."
The idea of a walking giant roo first dawned on Prof Janis 10 years ago, when she was looking at their bones in a Sydney museum.
"Bones are great. Bones are really informative!" she told BBC News.
"I thought: Wait a minute, this doesn't look right. These things were weird."
Other researchers had already proposed that the giant beasts would have found it very difficult, if not impossible to walk on all fours, because of their short, stiff spines and their slender arms with long fingers for grabbing foliage.
"And that's the gait that kangaroos use most of the time. They have what's called a pentapedal gait, where the tail is used as a fifth limb," Prof Janis explained. Hopping is only used to cover larger distances, faster.
So in the absence of the usual option for slow movement, Prof Janis thought, would this big family of kangaroos really hop absolutely everywhere?
"That's what I always find intriguing about fossils. Can you shoehorn them into some kind of living paradigm, or are they doing something different?"
After many more visits to Australian museums, where she made up to 101 different measurements on the skeletons of 78 extinct kangaroo specimens, as well as 66 present-day examples, Prof Janis found that the vanished marsupials did, indeed, appear to be doing something completely different.
The sthenurines' long bones tended to be heavier and stronger than the relatively slender ones seen in big, hopping modern kangaroos. Furthermore, they had specific features well-suited to walking rather than hopping.
These included large hip bones that were oriented to support an upright body, and flared to accommodate big gluteal muscles, suggesting the ancient roos could support their weight on one leg.
"They had anatomy that is consistent with the hypothesis of bipedal walking," Prof Janis said.
"Now, why would they start to do that?"
She and her colleagues argue that the early sthenurines, which were smaller, probably started walking short, slow distances on their hind legs as an alternative to using all fours.
Then, as they evolved to become bigger and stockier, they may have become distance walkers and lost the ability to hop.
"The biggest ones got to a size that does strain the credulity of hopping," Prof Janis said - although she emphasised it is difficult to prove that the big beasts didn't make equally big bounds.
"Obviously you're going out on a limb when you're proposing something about an extinct animal. But all the data fit."
She said her argument was not an unreasonable stretch, given that some tree kangaroos found in Papua New Guinea have been reported to walk on their hind legs.
Dr Vera Weisbecker, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Queensland in Australia, said she found the study very convincing.
"The idea has been around that sthenurines may have just been too large to hop, particularly those really large forms," she told the BBC.
The explanation that they walked on two feet, Dr Weisbecker said, "may just not have ever entered people's heads".
"It's a very unusual thing to propose. And they're making a very good case."
Another marsupial expert, Dr Natalie Warburton from Murdoch University in Perth, also said the finding was unexpected.
She said the adjustments found in the sthenurines' skeletons definitely suggested a different style of getting around, but added that "precisely what that style of locomotion was is probably still going to be debated".

O'Sullivan won a last-frame decider against China's Zhao Xintong to reach the third round of the English Open, but was not worried about losing.
"You've got so many tournaments, it's not really a bad thing if you lose," O'Sullivan told BBC Radio 5 live.
"It's like a bus, you know there's going to be one quickly coming along."
Earlier this year, 40-year-old O'Sullivan refused to an attempt a maximum 147 break at the Welsh Open because the £10,000 prize money on offer was "too cheap".
The 2016 Welsh Open champion continued: "You just think well, that's a few days off and then you've got one the next week."
"So it was a win-win situation for me, I didn't really care if I won or lost.
"I know it might sound quite strange, but that's just how it feels."
A break of 62 earned O'Sullivan a 4-3 win and set up a third-round tie against Chris Wakelin in Manchester.
Judd Trump also won in the final frame, beating Jamie Bodle, but top seed Mark Selby lost 4-3 to Liam Highfield.
Neil Robertson enjoyed a 4-1 win over Duane Jones, while Stuart Bingham and John Higgins also progressed.

Tory MP Andrew Rosindell raised a query about the shadow work and pensions secretary, saying people must be "put in positions they can handle".
Ms Reeves said via Twitter that his words implied a "Tory women problem".
Downing Street has dismissed suggestions that pregnant MPs should not be given cabinet jobs.
Ms Reeves has said she plans to take maternity leave within weeks of the general election on 7 May, and is due to have her second child on 15 June.
She told the Daily Mail: "I'm having a child and I shall be on maternity leave for the early weeks and months of the next government.
"The first thing I would do is abolish the bedroom tax. That's something I can do really quickly. My baby's due in June and I want to cancel the bedroom tax before I go on maternity leave."
The government rejects the term "bedroom tax" used by Labour and other critics for the policy under which social tenants who are deemed to have more bedrooms than they need are subject to a cut in housing benefit.
When asked about the prime minister's views on whether women should serve in the cabinet while pregnant, Mr Cameron's official spokesman said: "Why on earth not?"
But Mr Rosindell, the MP for Romford, told the paper: "I don't want to say someone who is having a baby is not eligible to be a cabinet minister, but I certainly think perhaps the demands of that particular job will require someone to give it their full attention.
"I don't expect Rachel Reeves to be in the cabinet after the election because I expect the Conservatives to win, but clearly people need to be put in the positions they can handle."
Ms Reeves later responded via Twitter to Mr Rosindell's comments, saying: "300,000 women a yr take maternity leave but @AndrewRosindell thinks can't do big job & be a mum. Tory women problem?"
Mr Cameron's official spokesman also said the prime minister regarded maternity leave entitlements as "universal", adding: "It is entirely a matter for individual families to take the decisions that they think are right for them, and the government's job is to support them in those decisions they take."
The union, which was the party's biggest donor during the last parliament, said Mr Murphy should stand down "without delay".
It warned that otherwise "extinction looms" for the Scottish party.
Aslef, the train drivers' union, also called for Mr Murphy, who lost his East Renfrewshire seat in Thursday's poll, to resign his position as leader.
Labour lost all but one of its 40 Scottish seats to the SNP.
On Friday, Mr Murphy said he would remain leader of the party in Scotland and stand for a seat at Holyrood in next year's Scottish parliamentary election.
In a statement, Pat Rafferty, leader of Unite in Scotland, said: "It is time for change at the Scottish Labour Party.
"That is the overwhelming, unambiguous message from Scotland's people, including its trade union members, on Thursday.
"Either Scottish Labour rediscovers its mission as the natural voice for social justice in our nation, or irrelevance and ultimately extinction looms."
Mr Rafferty added: "Change must begin with a new leader. It is surprising that Jim Murphy should feel he still has a mandate to lead the party after Thursday's results.
"I call on Jim Murphy to resign without delay, and give the membership of the Scottish Labour Party the chance to determine their own way forward in rebuilding from Thursday's ruins."
In response, a spokesman for Scottish Labour said: "This is no surprise. They [Unite] wanted him to resign before he even became leader."
However Kevin Lindsay, Aslef's organiser in Scotland, said: "Jim Murphy has just presided over the worst election defeat in the history of the Scottish Labour Party.
"He has to go - and he has to go now."
Elsewhere, Labour MSP Neil Findlay MSP, who stood against Mr Murphy for the leadership of the party, has resigned from the Scottish shadow cabinet.
In a statement, he said Thursday's election had been a "disaster" for Scottish party.
He added: "The problems are wide-ranging and deep.
"Radical solutions are needed and can only be implemented following a full, frank, open and democratic debate led by our loyal and hard working, committed party members - a centralised fix just won't do."
Earlier in the day, former Scottish Labour minister Andy Kerr had said his party needed to apologise for an "atrocious campaign".
Mr Kerr, who failed to win the Scottish Labour leadership in 2007, said the party in Scotland needed to be independent of the UK organisation.
He compared Mr Murphy's campaign to "dad-dancing in the most modern nightclub in the city of Glasgow".
Defending herself on BBC 5 live, Wendy Watson said she did not know trustees needed Charity Commission permission for payment from a charity.
Mrs Watson has now resigned as a trustee with the National Hereditary Breast Cancer Helpline.
Her payments were discovered by The Charity Commission.
The commission began its investigation after noticing financial irregularities and it warned about "significant breaches of trust".
Mrs Watson. who was paid £31,000 over five years as a trustee of the charity she founded in 1996, denied allegations she had paid the money to herself.
She stated: "The accountants paid me. I didn't pay myself, I can assure you."
Mrs Watson said she did not know the payments had breached laws relating to charity trustees.
And she added: "If I had known, I would never have been trustee and could have been just an employee and then none of this would have been an issue."
Mrs Watson continued: "In 2012 I got professional advice to set up the charity. They put me as a trustee and didn't say I couldn't ever work for the charity again or be paid and so I happily went on as a trustee."
Asked if she had made a mistake, she responded: "I trusted the professionals that I employed. I was so busy answering the phone 24 hours a day and getting on with setting up these charity shops to provide long-term income for the charity."
Mrs Watson added: "I accept I made a mistake in trusting the professionals to give me advice instead of checking for myself."
"If you work it out what I was paid over five years, I was paid £31,000 for 24-hours-a-day work - that equates to less than 60p an hour, I don't think anybody would think that was excessive."
Mrs Watson also said: "I certainly apologise if people think that I did not do the right thing."
She added: "I was stupid. I didn't realise. I just went along with what I was told."
Mrs Watson, of Derbyshire, founded the charity four years after she became the first woman in the UK to have a pre-emptive mastectomy. Five years ago she was appointed MBE for services to people with breast cancer.
The charity was set up to raise awareness and fund a phoneline where people could speak to Mrs Watson for support and advice.
By 2012, it was raising almost £1m a year from charity shops in Derbyshire, Yorkshire, Greater Manchester, Humberside and London.

In March, a woman pleaded guilty to using threatening, abusive, insulting words or behaviour intended to cause harassment, alarm and distress.
She was given an 18-month conditional discharge.
Ms Heston spoke to BBC Radio Kent after figures showed almost 1,000 hate crimes were reported to Kent Police in the past year.
Work gets under way to upgrade the A6 near Castledawson later this month.
It will involve a new stretch of dual carriageway close to Heaney's former home.
Infrastructure minister Chris Hazzard said the chosen route for the £160m project was the best available.
The A6 is the main Belfast to Londonderry road and is heavily used.
It is gridlocked and hard to cross at rush hour.
There have been plans for improvement dating back over a decade.
Environmentalists claim the new stretch will impact important habitat for overwintering swans close to Lough Beg, near Toomebridge.
And there is the prospect of a legal challenge, even as contractors begin exploratory work this week.
Mr Rea, who helped establish the Field Day Theatre Company with Seamus Heaney in 1980, said the poet had made the landscape "holy" through his work.
He said: "Does it have to go exactly through there?
"Do you have to choose a place that has been dignified by the greatest poet we've ever had?
"Are we content that people will come here to see the locations for Game of Thrones, is that where we are placing our imaginative level. This is a great poet, we need to preserve his landscape."
Mr Hazzard said whatever route was taken through the area involved crossing "Heaney country and environmentally sensitive areas".
He said he believed the project was a "fitting" one.
The route was picked after a public inquiry a decade ago.
It found alternative routes would involve greater disruption to people in the area, and mean more homes would have to be bought up.
Environmentalists maintain another option is available.
They will attempt to use a judicial review to challenge the route on the basis that environmental data underpinning it is well out of date and may not have been collected in the way regulations require.
Jordan Owens netted a hat-trick, Paul Heatley scored two and Gavin Whyte was also on target for the Crues who are going for three titles in a row.
Last year's runners-up Linfield won 2-1 at Ballinamallard thanks to a brilliant long-range striker by Kirk Millar.
Newly-promoted Ards hit back twice to draw 2-2 against Cliftonville.
All the goals came in the second half at Mourneview Park as Glenavon saw off Carrick Rangers 4-0 while Ciaran Caldwell was the scorer in Glentoran's 1-0 home win over Dungannon Swifts.
Stephen Baxter's Crusaders sent out an emphatic message to those teams aiming to dethrone the back-to-back champions.
They were 4-0 up at half-time through Heatley, Owens (2) and Whyte.
Ballymena steadied the ship for a spell but Heatley netted again and Owens completed his hat-trick with a late penalty.
It might have been the first day of the campaign, but Linfield's Kirk Millar has already posted a contender for goal of the season.
With Ballinamallard keeper James McGrath out of position, Millar launched a first-time lob from just inside the United half which landed in the far corner of the net.
That gave David Healy's men the 2-1 win at Ferney Park.
Earlier Stephen Lowry had headed them into the lead before Ryan McConnell volleyed Ballinamallard's equaliser.
Crusaders midfielder Gavin Whyte: "The boys played really well and that is what we needed because we had not won our opening league game for six years.
"Everybody did their job and we played superbly. The manager has just said the front three were brilliant and of course that helps."
Glentoran manager Alan Kernaghan: "The performance and result was pleasing, it was just the scoreline which let us down a little bit.
"We had lots of crosses and shots, but just lacked the good decision at the right time which could have given us more goals, but that is just me being picky.
"Nacho Novo did well. He showed glimpses but there is more to come from him."
Ards manager Niall Currie: "I thought we stuck in there. The effort and enthusiasm were super.
"We created chances against a top-class Cliftonville side.
"I've just told the lads that if they can apply themselves like that every week we will do OK."
Kirk Millar of Linfield: "I'm obviously pleased to get off the mark. I was just inside their half and spotted the keeper off his line.
"The manager has strengthened the squad, bringing in some experienced players and I think we are looking well."
Rhys Marshall on Glenavon's 4-0 win: "That is just what we wanted, with a clean sheet as well.
"The manager said at half-time we were a bit flat and we came out and upped the tempo.
"We are glad with 4-0 but it is just one game."
The blaze broke out at a terraced house in Rosamond Street, Bolton, at about 09:00 BST on Saturday.
The victims were five-year-old Khadija Umerji, her brothers Yusuf, 10, and Hammad, 12, and their mother Anisha Umerji, 40.
The children's father Zubair Umerji jumped from the first floor.
He tried to smash through glass on the ground floor window to reach his family. He is being treated for his injuries.
Senior firefighter Tony Hunter said: "He was absolutely distraught, screaming [that] his wife and children were in there."
A neighbour, Fatima, said: "I heard screaming, banging and shouting. 'Save my kids, save my wife. Help. Help.'
"Everyone started to try to break the door and the windows but the flames were already all over.
"It is a loss to our neighbourhood. God bless their souls."
Their funerals will take place in Bolton on Tuesday.
Following a joint investigation, officers from Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS) and Greater Manchester Police (GMP) believe the fire was caused accidentally by a halogen heater in the living room at the front of the house.
Jim Hutton from GMFRS said: "We believe a halogen heater may have caught a sofa alight.
"We're looking into [how the heater came to be on]. We're trying to speak to the father following this tragedy to see if he can give us some more information."
The two youngest children attended Brandwood Primary School in Bolton.
In a statement the school said it had been a "privilege" to have been part of the lives of the Umerji family.
The school would do all it could to support them, it added.
Community safety teams and firefighters have since visited more than 200 homes in Bolton offering safety advice.
Chairman of the fire committee at Manchester City Council, councillor David Acton, urged people to check electrical appliances, plugs and cables and make sure they do not overload sockets.
The government has ordered countrywide tests of Maggi noodle samples amid a growing food-safety scare.
Several major grocery chains have already taken India's favourite noodles off the shelves.
Nestle India has denied that their noodles are unsafe or unhealthy.
Maggi is a big seller for Nestle in India, with annual sales of about 15bn rupees ($235m; £149m).
It is hugely popular with school and college students, and Nestle's "two-minute" advertising campaign stressing the ease of cooking the instant noodles have made it a household name in India.
Some of India's biggest Bollywood stars, including Amitabh Bachchan, Madhuri Dixit and Preity Zinta, have appeared in Maggi advertisements.
But Maggi noodles have been at the centre of a controversy since laboratory tests on two dozen packets in Uttar Pradesh last month found lead nearly seven times the permissible limits and excess levels of monosodium glutamate (MSG), a food additive.
On Wednesday, the company's shares dropped more than 10% in early trading on the Bombay Stock Exchange after the Delhi government said its food inspectors had found higher levels of lead than permitted in most of the samples tested.
"Tests in Delhi showed that 10 out of 13 samples contained lead beyond the permissible limits. Once we have all the results, Nestle India will be given an opportunity to explain," news agency AFP quoted Food and Consumer Affairs Ministry official G Gurucharan as saying.
"Samples have been tested from all across the country, we are getting the results one by one."
The authorities said five samples were also found to contain MSG, commonly used as a flavour enhancer for Chinese food, canned vegetables, soups and meat.
MSG is not listed among the ingredients in Maggi noodles.
Meanwhile, authorities in the southern state of Kerala have stopped selling Maggi noodles at more than 1,000 government-run shops following the developments in Uttar Pradesh.
Food and Civil Supplies Minister Anoop Jacob's office said the sale of the brand had been stopped temporarily until "the dispute is resolved", the Press Trust of India reported.
A number of other states - Goa, Haryana, Gujarat, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu - have also ordered tests on Maggi noodles, reports say.
Nestle India, a subsidiary of Swiss-based Nestle SA, maintains it has strict safety and quality controls in place.
In a recent statement, it said it had had samples of its noodles tested in an internal and an external laboratory which had found the product "safe to eat".
The company also said that it did not "add MSG to Maggi Noodles, and glutamate, if present, may come from naturally occurring sources".
"We are surprised with the content supposedly found in the sample as we monitor the lead content regularly as a part of the regulatory requirements," it added.
South Africa's Justice Minister Michael Masutha, a qualified lawyer, said the original decision to release him after serving 10 months was taken "prematurely."
According to the South African Criminal Procedure Act, an offender must serve at least one-sixth of his sentence before he is eligible for early release.
Michael Motsoeneng, a lawyer who has been following this case for a long while, told me that thousands of prisoners will receive this as good news.
"It will bring certainty when they are not being considered for parole that no-one gets special treatment," he said
The minister was duty-bound to intervene because the law is very clear - "the decision to release an offender may only be taken after he has served one-sixth of his sentence," Mr Motsoeneng emphasised.
In Pistorius' case, the decision was taken in June - when he had served just eight months - to release him as soon as he had served the requisite 10 months.
For some, the proposal to release Pistorius so soon looks and feels unfair, but for others it is just the law.
A famous athlete shot four bullets into a toilet in his bathroom knowing full well that there was a human being behind the locked door.
But after a seven-month trial, Judge Thokozile Masipa found the double-amputee not guilty of murder. She instead found him guilty of a lesser charge of culpable homicide or manslaughter.
So what about the timing of the whole thing? We knew back in June that the department of correctional service would release Pistorius this week.
Political pressure from the Progressive Women's Movement of South Africa (PWMSA), a women's rights advocacy group. which includes the African National Congress Women's League - part of the governing party - seems to have made the difference.
It had petitioned the minister to exercise his powers not to allow Pistorius, also known as the blade runner, to be released from prison during August.
The group's convener, Jacqui Mofokeng told me that releasing Pistorius during South Africa's women's month was "like adding salt to the wound."
She added: "Ten months is not enough. This judgement was not favourable to women who are victims of violence by their spouses."
This section of the law exists partly because of overcrowding in South African prisons.
Hence the legal mechanism to allow those offenders whose parole board assessments show that they possess a record of good behaviour to be sent home early, to serve the remainder of their sentences at home.
The Department of Correctional Services' spokesman Logan Maistry told me that Pistorius was not receiving special treatment.
"We release people every day," he said.
"There are about 60,000 other offenders who are currently under correctional supervision," he said - about 27% of the total prison population.
Legal experts tell me that the Parole Review Board has up to four months in which to make a decision, so Pistorius will remain behind bars for some time yet.
But assuming he is eventually freed early, the Olympic sprinter will be released to his uncle's house in a leafy suburb of Pretoria to complete the rest of his five-year sentence, provided his good-behaviour record still stands.
The making and unmaking of Oscar Pistorius
Oscar Pistorius - in 60 seconds
However, it is not clear what he will do with his time at home.
During the trial last year, prison service social worker Joel Maringa, testifying for the defence, recommended that the athlete could spend three years of partial house arrest and do 16 hours of community service each month, like cleaning a museum in Pretoria.
But under cross-examination from prosecutor Gerrie Nel, Mr Maringa admitted that Pistorius had told him that correctional supervision would allow him to resume his athletic career, while still officially serving his sentence.
It is not clear whether the athletics authorities would allow this.
However, given the four-month timeframe, it is highly unlikely that Pistorius will be freed before the prosecution's appeal against his acquittal on murder charges is heard in November.
If that decision is overturned, his sentence would be increased to a minimum of 15 years and the question of his early release will be pushed well into the future.
The incident happened on board a bus travelling along Bath Street in Glasgow at about 22:15 on 30 August. Police said it caused a great deal of distress to a 17-year-old woman.
The man was of Asian appearance, aged between 50 and 60 years, about 5ft 8in tall, of medium build.
He had dark hair and a moustache and was carrying a silver walking stick.
He was wearing a grey striped T-shirt, dark trousers and black jacket.
Anyone with information about the incident or who recognises the man should contact PC Paul Lorenzetti on 101.
Rocky Uzzell, 29, and Katherine Prigmore, 24, pleaded guilty last year to causing or allowing a child to suffer serious physical harm.
Their child Isabelle is also now blind and has to be fed through a tube, Northampton Crown Court heard.
Uzzell was sentenced to eight-and-a-half years and Prigmore to 28 months.
He also admitted four counts of making indecent images and received six months for each of the four charges to run concurrently.
The pair's daughter, who is now nearly three years old, had to be resuscitated after sustaining "catastrophic" injuries at her Kettering home in 2014.
As a result of the abuse, she also suffers from epilepsy, has severe learning difficulties and is not expected to live beyond early adulthood.
The court was told the couple, of Sheila Place, Kettering, showed a clear lack of concern for their daughter in hospital and said at one point it would give them chance to go to Nando's.
Three videos found on a phone showed Uzzell forcefully winding the distressed baby while Prigmore could be heard laughing as she filmed it.
Another showed Uzzell's hands on the baby's throat while the girl was sick.
During sentencing, Judge Rupert Mayo called Uzzell "dangerous" and said Prigmore's "priority should have been Isabelle".
Det Con Spencer Bailey, of the East Midlands Special Operations Unit, said the pair inflicted "horrific injuries on this vulnerable baby" who needed "a level of medical support for the rest of her life".
"These two defendants displayed quite sickening behaviour."
Isabelle was admitted to Kettering General Hospital on 20 March 2014 where she had been admitted four times before.
Tests after she had been transferred to a hospital in Leicester revealed she had suffered two "significant" bleeds on the brain and one down her spinal column.
Medical reports heard in court indicated that she had been shaken leading to non-reversible injuries, had rib fractures caused by squeezing and fractured limbs as a result of being yanked.
Police said Isabelle is now in the process of being adopted outside the county.
Previous winters featured frequent snowfalls, freezing temperatures and months-long coverings of deep snow.
SAIS teams recorded cascades of loose, dry snow called sluffs also rime ice and plenty of avalanches.
But this winter snow has had to compete with rain and warmer weather.
Between December and mid-April, SAIS assesses avalanche hazard in six areas - Lochaber, Glen Coe, Creag Meagaidh, Southern Cairngorms , Northern Cairngorms and Torridon.
As well as providing detailed analysis of the potential risk of avalanche, the various teams photograph conditions in the hills.
Girls living in Zaatari Refugee Camp or in Mafraq in the north of Jordan were asked to discuss their goals and imagine their future personal and professional lives. Many of them had directly experienced conflict.
Every girl designed and directed her own photo shoot, posing as her future self . Whenever possible, they were shot in actual working environments, so they could meet people in their envisioned field and truly step into their future.
This week's Supporting Syria and the Region conference in London aims to address some of the issues facing these children and others. International Development Secretary Justine Greening said: "These photographs show the children who will one day rebuild Syria. The UK is urging the world to make a choice in education to ensure that the conflict does not rob Syria's children of a future. By giving them an education, they have the opportunity to become the doctors, lawyers and architects of tomorrow."
"Ever since we studied the solar system in primary school, I have wanted to be an astronaut. I would imagine myself up in the sky, discovering new things.
"I love being an astronaut because it lets me see the world from a new angle. In this society, my path was not easy - many people told me a girl can't become an astronaut.
"Now that I have achieved my goals, I would tell young girls with aspirations to not be afraid, to talk to their parents about what they want and why, to always be confident and know where you want to go."
"In this image, I am examining an X-ray of a patient to see what is causing the pain in her chest.
"At this point in my life, I am a well-respected surgeon in the region. I treat many patients, but the patient I care most about - the one that drove me to be a doctor- is my father, who has lots of medical issues. To be able to help my father, this makes me feel strong, powerful and capable."
"Since I was a young girl, I loved taking people's photographs. I loved going to different events and documenting what was happening - both the good and bad. Now, as a professional photographer, I use my images to inspire hope in others - to encourage love and understanding."
"I've always wanted to be a policewoman because the police not only keep people safe, but they also create justice in society.
"Every day I wake up, go to the station, and then head out into the city to see where I can help. I also work to inspire other young girls to become policewomen - supporting them to dream about their future and thinking about how they will overcome obstacles."
"I've always wanted to be an architect. Yet when I was young, people told me that this is not something a woman could achieve, and they encouraged me to pursue a more 'feminine' profession.
"But I dreamt constantly of making beautiful homes for families, and designing buildings that bring people joy. Now that I've reached my vision, I hope I am a model for other girls - showing them that you should never give up on your dream - no matter what others say."
"Our neighbour in Syria had a pharmacy, and when I was younger I would go next door and help. As the war started, I watched this pharmacist help the injured. When I saw this, I knew that this was an important job and what I wanted to do.
"Now that I am a pharmacist, I see myself as a role model for girls and a leader changing the world."
"Walking down the street as a young girl in Syria or Jordan, I encountered many people suffering - sick or injured - and I always wanted to have the power and skills to help them.
"Now, as a great physician in my community, I have that ability. Easing someone's pain in the most rewarding aspect of my job. To be able to give them relief is the most rewarding aspect of my job. To be able to give them relief and make them smile - this is what I love most."
"I want violence against women to end. I want women to be able to make decisions for the community, and say their opinion without fear. I want our society to open up and give space for women to be whoever they want to be. This is why I decided to become a lawyer.
"When I was younger, my mother told me I was courageous and truthful, and that I could be a great lawyer who fought injustice. I took her advice, and now am a respected lawyer working on women's rights and defending women who are victims of domestic violence."
"In the future, I am a famous fashion designer - creating chic clothing for women that makes them feel elegant. I design normal daywear that combines rough and soft fabrics, as well as formalwear and wedding dresses."
"I saw a policewoman for the first time when I was 11 - before that I hadn't considered it as a career. At that moment of my life, I wasn't even going to school - I just had no interest. But once I decided this was my dream, I studied hard and pursued it.
"Now that I am a policewoman, I help many people who are in danger or trouble, and I encourage young girls to get their education so that they can reach their goals."
"In this image, I am a popular painter, working on a landscape in oils. When I was younger, painting was a hobby - but as I grew older, I saw I had a great talent and went to art school.
"Now, I have my own gallery where I sell my paintings and sculptures. My hope is that my artwork inspires peace in the world and encourages people to be kind to one another."
"I love planes. Even before I had ever been on a plane, I knew I wanted to be a pilot. Flying is adventurous and exciting.
"When I was younger, my brother always told me that a girl can't be a pilot, but I knew deep down this is what I wanted to do.
"I finished my studies and found a way to get to flight school. Now, not only do I get to live my dream, but I also get to go to help people travel, to see the world, and discover new places."
"I have always found great pleasure in cooking. When I was young, I spent a lot of time in the kitchen with my mother - learning how to create different dishes. I was really good at it.
"Now as a chef, I have my own restaurant where I create the menu, and a shop where I make and serve different dairy products like milk, cheeses, and yoghurt."
"In this image, it is the early morning and I am waiting in my classroom for my students to arrive. I teach younger children to read and write Arabic. I am a very compassionate and kind person, and so a perfect teacher. I am strict, but I go out of my way to gently help those students who are having difficulties."
"I have always wanted to help children, and this is what drove me to be a paediatrician. I am kind and loving, and therefore an excellent doctor that children can trust."
The UK, Germany, Kuwait, Norway, and the United Nations will co-host the Supporting Syria and the Region conference in London on 4 February which aims to set goals on education and economic opportunities to transform the lives of refugees caught up in the Syrian crisis .
Dyer, who joined Swansea from Southampton in 2009, had one year left on his previous contract.
The 28-year-old returned following a season-long loan spell at Leicester City, where he picked up a Premier League winners medal in 2015-16.
"I'm happy to be back here at the club that first gave me the opportunity to show what I can do," he said.
"I had a good year at Leicester - the experience I had was unbelievable.
"Coming back, there was only one thought in my mind - impress the new manager, speak to the chairman, get into the team and play games.
"I was going into the final year of my contract, so it was nice to sign a new deal. The new deal will keep me here until I finish."
Dyer has scored 31 goals in 271 appearances for Swansea having initially joined on loan from Southampton in January 2009 before making the move permanent five months later.
He is the latest player to commit to the Swans after midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson also signed a new four-year deal.
The Swans have rejected a £10m bid from Everton for central defender and captain Ashley Williams and chairman Huw Jenkins said new additions to the squad were imminent.
Police reported Aubrey McClendon, 56, was the only person in the vehicle when it smashed into a concrete pillar.
He was charged on Tuesday with conspiring with two energy companies to rig the price of oil and gas contracts.
Mr McClendon, who stepped down from Chesapeake in 2013, denied the charges.
In a statement on Tuesday, he said: "Anyone who knows me, my business record and the industry in which I have worked for 35 years, knows that I could not be guilty of violating any antitrust laws."
Police are still investigating the cause of the accident, but said the car was so badly burnt it was difficult to tell if Mr McClendon had been wearing a seatbelt.
A spokesperson for Oklahoma City police said the former energy boss "drove straight into the wall".
On Tuesday, the Department of Justice accused Mr McClendon of having been involved in an anti-trust scheme between 2007 and 2012.
The scheme involved two companies - which the Justice Department did not name - deciding who would have the winning bid for oil and gas leases ahead of the offer and then splitting the contract after it was awarded.
Mr McClendon stepped down as the head of Chesapeake Energy in 2013 amid concerns about his heavy spending and its corporate governance. He was considered to be one of the fathers of the US fracking industry.
He went on to found American Energy Partners and was was also a co-owner of US basketball team the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The forward, 20, does not want to go on the forthcoming trip to the Far East after Liverpool rejected a £40m bid from Manchester City for him.
The England international missed training on Wednesday through illness.
"He's starting to get a reputation that could be hard to rid himself of in the future," said Carragher.
"Are Man City fans looking at the situation and thinking this could be us in a few years?"
Liverpool travel to Bangkok on Sunday then fly on to Australia and Malaysia.
Through his request, Sterling - who returned to pre-season training on Monday - has once again made it clear to manager Brendan Rodgers that he wants to leave.
He has expressed his desire not to go on the tour in the hope of making a smoother exit from Anfield after an increasingly acrimonious saga in which he has turned down a contract offer of about £100,000 a week.
Manchester City have had two offers for him turned down, but are now expected to return with a third bid nearer Liverpool's £50m valuation.
Whether it comes soon enough to avoid the latest twist in what has become a very public breakdown in the relationship between club and player remains to be seen.
"I think this situation will only make Liverpool more determined to get the fee they feel Raheem is worth, rather than caving in to Raheem's and Man City's wishes," added Carragher.
Liverpool have refused to comment on claims Sterling will refuse to travel, but are expected to demand that every player who is fit and available for selection join up on Sunday.
Meanwhile, Spanish defender Javier Manquillo has returned to Atletico Madrid after his two-year loan at Anfield was terminated early by mutual consent.
Atletico said the 21-year-old has been recalled because he "has not had all the minutes he and our club consider necessary" for his development.
Manquillo made 19 appearances for the Reds last season but did not play for the club after a 1-0 defeat by Besiktas in the Europa League in February.
Epilepsy Action Cymru said at least 88 are needed but two health boards have no specialists and none have more than two.
The charity is launching a campaign calling for action on Wednesday.
The Welsh Government said there "is no single model for neuroscience services".
About 26,000 adults in Wales live with epilepsy - a condition that affects the brain and leads to repeated seizures - which is one person in every 94.
However, Cwm Taf University and Powys Teaching health boards have no specialist nurses to deal with the condition, according to the charity.
Aneurin Bevan, Hywel Dda and Betsi Cadwaladr each have one, while Cardiff and Vale and Abertawe Bro Morgannwg have two plus an additional supporting nurse.
In 2007, the Welsh Neuroscience External Expert Review Group recommended that each specialist nurse should have a caseload of about 300 patients.
Having 88 in Wales would mean each specialist having an average of about 295 patients.
"Epilepsy care for people in Wales can fall below the standard it should be," said the charity's chief executive Simon Wigglesworth.
"Epilepsy specialist nurses play a crucial role in the care of people with epilepsy.
"We are calling on the Welsh government to work with the necessary agencies to provide more epilepsy specialist nurses in Wales. They are vitally needed."
The charity will launch a campaign at the Senedd on Wednesday to tackle the shortage.
Michael Dix-Williams, 48, from Cwmavon, Neath Port Talbot, has had epilepsy since he was 13, but medication would not control his condition.
In 2012, he was fitted with an implant which sends electrical impulses to the brain and helps reduce the number of seizures.
Initially it made the seizures worse, but with the help of a specialist nurse, adjustments were made.
"It's taken quite a while to do, but I have to say they've done a fantastic job," he said.
"I've been seizure-free for probably 14 to 15 months which is the longest I've been without seizures since developing the condition in my early teens."
A Welsh Government spokesman said: "Our neurological conditions delivery plan sets out the actions we're taking to reduce service inequalities and make a tangible difference for people living with conditions such as epilepsy.
"Health boards are required to put in place plans to deliver co-ordinated services for the population they serve and to highlight how they are implementing priorities within the plan.
"There is no single model for neuroscience services, what works in one place may not work in another.
"We, therefore, expect health boards to consider access to neurological specialist nurses as part of their assessments."
Future Inns issued Michelle Brown a £250 charge, accusing her of causing a "strong smell" in her room that meant it could not be used for 24 hours.
A spokesman for Ms Brown denied the allegation of drug use.
He said the smell was caused by the AM smoking a strong tobacco product in the non-smoking room.
"It was an absent-minded mistake, and Michelle paid the resulting cleaning fee," the spokesman said.
The incident took place in May 2016 in the week following the North Wales AM's election to the Senedd for the very first time.
Ms Brown, who lives in Mostyn, Flintshire, stayed at the Future Inn hotel in Cardiff Bay from 9 to 11 May.
The complaint was made by the hotel following her departure on the Wednesday.
BBC Wales understands that the hotel accused the guest of smoking "recreational drugs" in her bedroom and said that "due to the strong smell in the room it cannot be used for 24 hours".
A spokesman for the AM said: "Michelle had recently spent a couple of nights at a hotel with smoking rooms, of which there are many across the UK, and regrettably forgot she was staying in a hotel without such rooms.
"It was an absent-minded mistake, and Michelle paid the resulting cleaning fee".
A spokesman for the hotel said: "Future Inns would like to confirm the illegal use of drugs on our premises at any time is not allowed.
"We do not, however, discuss these matters with third parties except as required by law enforcement authorities."
The two-year deal, believed to be worth a little over £4m, includes rights across all four leagues and 42 clubs.
While it did not reveal any figures, Ladbrokes said the deal was the biggest of its kind in Scottish football.
The SPFL has been without a sponsor since 2013 when the league was restructured.
The Clydesdale Bank sponsored the Scottish Premier League until its contract expired two years ago, electing not to renew the £2m-per-year deal.
Funds from that were split between 12 clubs.
The new deal will result in the Scotland's leagues become known as the Ladbrokes Premiership, Ladbrokes Championship, Ladbrokes League 1 and Ladbrokes League 2 at the start of the new season in August.
An "absolutely thrilled" SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster told BBC Scotland: "It is the biggest single ever title sponsorship deal of this nature in Scotland in 125 years of the Scottish Football League.
"So it's hugely significant, I think, financially.
"It's a deal across the whole of the SPFL - the first deal of its kind - and all 42 clubs will benefit through the ladder mechanism set out in the rules.
"On all those levels, I think it's great news for all clubs in Scotland."
The new deal takes the total SPFL prize-money fund to £20m.
Next season's Premiership champions will receive an additional £268,000 as a result, with the Championship winners receiving £45,000 more.
At the bottom end of the scale, the team finishing bottom of League Two will earn their club an extra £3,600.
"As much of a financial difference, there is a pride issue here," said Doncaster.
"To have a league sponsored with a company like Ladbrokes - a hugely respected blue-chip UK company - who want to sit alongside you and develop the game in Scotland is hugely significant as well.
"It all matters and, if you talk to individual clubs then I suspect they'll see it slightly different ways.
"But, from our point of view, it's a deal that benefits all 42 clubs and adds to the prestige of the league overall."
Doncaster was aware that the SPFL had received some criticism for the years without a title sponsor.
"It has not been the easiest time to go out and sell a title sponsorship," he said.
"We are well aware of some of the financial issues that have affected some of our member clubs over that period.
"But the reality is that we have had a number of big brands who wanted to partner with us.
"We have had various offers over the period that we've rejected, but the clubs' stance, which we think has been vindicated, was they wanted to wait for the right brand at the right money."
Ladbrokes chief executive Jim Mullen added: "We love football so we are delighted to be working with the SPFL on one of the best opportunities in British sport."
The 15-year-old County Tyrone girl vanished after a night out at a disco in County Donegal in August 1994. Her body has never been found.
On Friday, the only suspect in the case, Robert Howard, 71 died.
At a preliminary hearing, the coroner directed files be made available to the Arkinson family next week.
In eight years since the preliminary inquest process began, a number of fixed hearing dates have been scrapped due to delays in disclosing papers.
The process of security vetting dozens of case files before disclosure has been further complicated as the Police Service of Northern Ireland has applied for Public Interest Immunity (PII) on three of the files, in a bid to stop their contents being outlined in court.
At the hearing at Belfast's coroner's court, Coroner Brian Sherrard warned that PII takes the case outside his remit and into ministerial hands.
A barrister for the family pointed out that there have been 30 previous preliminary hearings.
Criticising the allocation of police resources to preparing files, he told the court: "I have said before that this case was being prepared on the never never. It is being prepared on a part-time basis."
A lawyer for the PSNI said that while one officer - the officer in charge of the case - is out of the country at the moment, others have been working on it.
"This is an ongoing, very detailed and comprehensive process for the police," he said.
Mr Sherrard asked if there was a mechanism by which the court could alert the Secretary of State, Theresa Villiers, to the urgency of the case, given that a date of 1 February, 2016 has been set for the inquest.
"I'm sure she will understand there is an expectation that we will proceed on February 1," the coroner said.
He stressed that the set deadline would be met. "We need to have this in a very, very timely fashion if we are going to keep to a February date and we are going to keep to a February date," he said.
"It is not in anyone's interests, particularly the family or the public's interests, to have any further delays."
Appleton, who used to work with Foxes assistant coach Craig Shakespeare at West Brom, is looking forward to hosting Claudio Ranieri's side.
"It might end up being the only game they play in England before the season starts," he told BBC Radio Oxford.
Oxford, promoted to League One this month, will face Leicester on 19 July.
Appleton and Shakespeare were part of England manager Roy Hodgson's backroom team during their time together at the Hawthorns.
"It's incredible how this game has come about," Appleton said. "It helps having a few friends who work at Premier League clubs and Craig and I were chatting a couple of months before the end of the season.
"The fact Leicester have obviously gone on to win the title since makes the occasion even more mouthwatering."
Leicester's pre-season schedule currently sees them facing Barcelona, Celtic and Paris St-Germain overseas in the International Champions Cup.
The game against Oxford will be their first visit to the Kassam Stadium since 2010 and is currently their only confirmed domestic pre-season fixture.
"For that to be the case with the likes of Jamie Vardy coming to play at our ground will be a fantastic occasion," Appleton added. | Following the announcement that two people in England have been infected with tuberculosis by their cat, public health experts were quick to offer reassurance.

Tim Abram, professor of nuclear fuel technology at the University of Manchester, made the comments at a briefing to discuss the fate of the UK's plutonium.
The Sellafield nuclear plant in Cumbria has around 140 tonnes of the material.
It is now the largest stockpile of civil plutonium in the world.
The government is yet to decide on its fate, although the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) stated in 2013 that rather than being disposed of, its preference was that it should be reused as fuel.
This is not, however, a straightforward process; it requires new nuclear reactors to be built that are capable of using plutonium as fuel.
Plutonium is extracted from reprocessed nuclear waste and was originally stockpiled as a source of fuel for a new breed of experimental nuclear reactors.
But in the 1990s, the government-backed programme of research to develop these new reactors was cancelled, on both cost and safety grounds.
This left Sellafield storing plutonium with no long-term plan for it.
It also, somewhat ironically, put new nuclear reactor technology back on the government's list of priorities.
DECC tasked the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) with assessing the technical, safety and economic pros and cons of the three "credible" types of new generation nuclear reactor that would allow the plutonium to be used as fuel.
The NDA said it was still "in the middle" of this complicated consultation.
"A decision is expected to be made by ministers on how to proceed during 2015/16," the authority said in a statement.
"However, only when the Government is confident that its preferred option could be implemented safely and securely, in a way that is affordable, deliverable and offers value for money, will it be in a position to proceed."
Professor Abram added: "Having [a store of] separated plutonium without a declared end use represents a poor international example.
"We should at least keep the process moving forward and not give the impression to the world that we have stalled."
The desks at Tunstall, Stoke and Chasetown police stations will close by the end of October. Six other inquiry desks will have their hours cut.
The force said some of the reductions would be achieved through voluntary redundancies and other workers would be deployed elsewhere.
Unison said fewer workers would be affected than originally feared.
Police and Crime Commissioner Matthew Ellis said the force's priority was frontline policing.
"There will still be ample face to face counter services including the ability to formally present documents and other legal requirements, just not quite as many as there are now," he said.
The inquiry desks at Hanley, Longton, Tamworth, Cannock, Stafford and Burton will have their hours cut.
Unison branch secretary Susan Wall said the decision followed a one-year review of the force's estates.
"It was always mentioned some desks would close," she said.
"We thought it could be more. We have had more staff indicate they want to leave than we are going to lose."
Raheem Sterling and Jesus Navas have given them pace and width that they did not previously have on both flanks, which in turn has given David Silva more space in the centre of midfield.
For most of last season, Silva was the one being asked to play in wide positions, but he would always look to come inside and he does not have the same pace as Sterling and Navas anyway.
As I have said many times on Match of the Day, Silva is at his best as a number 10. It is his favourite position, and he is showing us why.
At the moment he has got freedom to roam and he is using it to hurt teams.
He is getting on the ball more often than he does when he starts out on the left and is making things happen all the time. No wonder he is having a greater effect on games.
Add in the fact that striker Sergio Aguero is so good at stretching defences with his brilliant runs and you can see why City's attack has taken the Premier League by storm.
The obvious thing about City that should not go unsaid is that the spine of their team is fit and in fantastic form.
Captain Vincent Kompany, midfielder Yaya Toure and Aguero all had their difficulties and/or injury absences last year, but they all look in great condition mentally and physically at the moment.
When you add goalkeeper Joe Hart and Silva to that list, not many teams can compare with that sort of quality and strength down the centre of the pitch.
But all of those players have been at City for at least four years. The biggest difference about City this season is down to Sterling - and the effect he is having is greater than you can see just by looking at statistics.
Sterling is yet to find the net and has assisted only one of City's eight goals in their first three games.
Ultimately City have signed one heck of an exciting prospect but at the moment, like Navas, his biggest threat actually lies with what he allows his team-mates to do.
They both keep defenders occupied and also offer a threat in behind defences with their pace.
That creates panic, which you did not see when Silva or Samir Nasri played wide last season.
So, just by being there, Sterling and Navas are having a positive effect on the opposition back four.
If Belgium international Kevin de Bruyne joins City from Wolfsburg before the end of the transfer window, he would give City even more midfield options.
De Bruyne is undoubtedly a quality player but he is not a natural winger and, if he were used instead of Navas on the right, City would lose some of their width which is proving so effective at the moment.
City's attack is proving to be the most potent at the moment but, if it came down to the question of end product alone, I still prefer Chelsea's three attacking midfielders.
Both teams play a 4-2-3-1 formation so the simplest way of looking at it is by asking whether Sterling, Silva and Navas would get in Chelsea's team?
Silva would make it if I could take him on his own, but Eden Hazard and Pedro are both more of a finished article than Sterling, and both of them are more productive than Navas.
This might bite me on the backside before the end of the season but, whether it is Ramires or Oscar who end up playing regularly for Chelsea along with Hazard and Pedro, I would back them 100% to get more goals and assists than Sterling, Silva and Navas.
The reason for that is Hazard and Pedro will guarantee you double figures for assists and goals right now, while Sterling and Navas don't.
That is something Sterling will offer eventually and in two or three years he could be a frightening player in front of goal too. But at the moment, I don't think you would find many Premier League managers who would pick him ahead of Hazard or even Pedro.
Watford will be the latest team to try and hold up City when they go to the Etihad on Saturday, and the Hornets have got two choices against a team this good.
The first is to go hell for leather - play a really high line and press City everywhere on the pitch. When you do that, you aim to get the first goal, and then you hang on for dear life.
The second is to be supremely well organised and play on the counter-attack, a bit like Stoke did when they beat City last season.
It is possible if all your players are at the top of their game, but it will only work if you have got pace in your attack - and even then you need a lot of luck.
Watford will need City to have a bit of an off day, and I cannot see that happening this weekend.
The hosts are playing with a confidence and intensity we have not seen from them for a while and I fear for Quique Flores's team.
City could maul them, and I think they will win by two or three goals at least.
Danny Murphy was speaking to BBC Sport's Chris Bevan.
Detectives were granted a 48-hour extension on Friday evening by a judge.
Mr Adams, 65, denies allegations that he was involved in the abduction and murder of the mother-of-ten.
He has been held for questioning since voluntarily presenting himself at Antrim police station on Wednesday.
Mr Adams is the former MP for West Belfast and is currently an elected representative for County Louth in the Republic of Ireland.
An initial 48-hour deadline to either charge or release him was due to expire at 20:00 BST on Friday, but the police successfully applied for more time to question him.
Mr Adams appeared in court via video link, as his lawyers contested the police's application for an extension under the Terrorism Act 2000.
Detectives could have asked for five more days to question Mr Adams, but instead applied to hold him until Sunday evening.
Earlier on Friday, his party colleague Martin McGuinness told a news conference: "Yesterday, I said that the timing of the arrest of Gerry Adams was politically motivated.
"Today's decision by the PSNI to seek an extension confirms me in my view."
Mr McGuinness, who is Northern Ireland deputy first minister, said the detention of Mr Adams was "a very, very serious situation".
He said Sinn Féin supported the progressive elements within the PSNI.
However, he added: "There is a cabal within the PSNI who have a different agenda, a negative and destructive agenda to both the peace process and to Sinn Féin."
He said Sinn Féin had been told this by "very senior members of the PSNI" who had coined the phrase the 'dark side'.
"Am I angry? Yes I am, but it's a very controlled anger," he said.
In regards to Sinn Féin's support for policing in Northern Ireland, he said that would continue if the situation with Mr Adams is resolved in a satisfactory manner.
"If it doesn't, we will have to review that situation."
When pressed if this meant Sinn Féin would withdraw support for the police if Mr Adams was charged, he said: "We're not taking any decision at this time, about anything."
Mr McGuinness added: "I believe Gerry Adams will be totally and absolutely exonerated."
Northern Ireland Justice Minister David Ford of the Alliance Party said: "If there are dark forces within policing, I can see no sign of dark forces."
Mr Ford, who was first appointed minister when policing and justice powers were devolved to Stormont in 2010, said: "I see a police force with very high levels of confidence, higher than the Garda Síochána (Irish police) or many forces in Great Britain.
"I see a police force carrying out its duties properly and appropriately, following up evidential opportunities where they present themselves and operating in conjunction with the community across a range of issues."
Ulster Unionist Party leader Mike Nesbitt said: "It is one thing to scrutinise the police - it is totally unacceptable for their support for police to be conditional on getting political policing in relation to republicans, which Martin McGuinness seems to be suggesting."
Dolores Kelly of the nationalist SDLP said: "For Sinn Féin to threaten to withdraw support from the PSNI because an investigation is not going the way they want it completely unacceptable."
On Thursday, Northern Ireland First Minister and DUP leader Peter Robinson said: "I would suggest to you that it would be political policing if the PSNI had not questioned those that were deemed to have been involved in any way."
Mrs McConville, a 37-year-old widow and mother of 10, was abducted and shot by the IRA. Her body was recovered from a beach in County Louth in 2003.
She is one of Northern Ireland's Disappeared, those who were abducted, murdered and secretly buried by republicans during the Troubles.
She was kidnapped in front of her children after being wrongly accused of being an informer - a claim that was dismissed after an official investigation by the Northern Ireland Police Ombudsman.
The widow was held at one or more houses before being shot and buried in secret.
The IRA admitted in 1999 that it murdered and buried at secret locations nine of the Disappeared.
Sixteen people are listed as "disappeared" by the Independent Commission for the Location of Victims' Remains, which was established in 1999 by a treaty between the British and Irish governments.
Despite extensive searches, the remains of seven of them have not been found.
Last month, Ivor Bell, 77, a leader in the Provisional IRA in the 1970s, was charged with aiding and abetting the murder.
There have also been a number of other arrests over the murder recently.

Born in Dublin in 1861 to a Protestant father and a Catholic mother, Fr Sullivan was educated at Portora Royal School, Enniskillen, County Fermanagh.
Raised as a Protestant, he later became a Catholic and then a Jesuit priest.
He has been beatified - often a step towards sainthood - in recognition of his work with the sick and the dying.
However, Fr Sullivan's efforts to help the poorest and most vulnerable in society could not have been further from his own privileged upbringing in Victorian Ireland.
He was the son of Sir Edward Sullivan, a wealthy Dublin barrister who later rose to become a Member of Parliament, Attorney General for Ireland and eventually Lord Chancellor of Ireland - then the highest legal office on the island.
Sir Edward sent his sons to his own alma mater - Portora Royal School, Enniskillen - which counts the Irish playwright Oscar Wilde and Nobel laureate Samuel Beckett among its most famous past pupils.
Portora is a non-denominational school but it is governed by the Fermanagh Protestant Board of Education.
The fact that a Royal school has produced a beatified Jesuit priest who could be on the way to becoming an Irish Catholic saint is "one of the great ironies of Portora," according to its current headmaster, Neil Morton.
He told the BBC's Good Morning Ulster programme that the beatification reflected "the importance of this school to Ireland and beyond, because Fr John is one of a long line of very, very distinguished Irishmen".
"His own particular life and trajectory is amazing because he spent the first 35 years of his life as a member of an affluent [Anglo-Irish] Ascendancy family, and then at the age of 35 converted from Anglicanism to Catholicism, and within a few years, joined the Jesuits.
"From living the good life, shall we say - renowned for his dress sense and so forth - he became a very familiar figure of poverty around County Kildare as he administered to the parish, and of course, allied himself to Clongowes Wood."
Clongowes Wood College - a Jesuit-run catholic boarding school in County Kildare - is one of the top schools in the Republic of Ireland which has produced several leading Irish politicians, businessmen and international rugby players.
Fr Sullivan joined the Jesuit Order in September 1900 and took up a teaching post at the college.
"We, at Portora, have a very close relationship with Clongowes based upon our joint ownership of Fr John," Mr Morton said.
"His influence is still felt in Kildare very, very strongly and of course he's revered in Clongowes Wood and rightly so."
He added that because Fr Sullivan "split his life so evenly" between his father's Church of Ireland heritage and his mother's Catholic tradition, both communities were celebrating the beatification announcement.
Staff and pupils from Portora attended a service in Dublin's Christchurch Cathedral last year to celebrate the life of Fr Sullivan.
The service was addressed by both the Catholic Archbishop of Dublin Diarmuid Martin and the Church of Ireland Archbishop of Dublin Michael Jackson, who "happens to be an old Portoran", Mr Morton points out.
Fr Sullivan, who died in 1933, was one of 39 clerics who were granted papal approval for beatification on Wednesday.
"He was venerable in November - he's now blessed and the next step is saint so we're looking forward to that," Mr Morton said.
Argyle drew 0-0 at struggling Yeovil Town on Tuesday, while the Cobblers earned a 10th successive league win.
Northampton had been seven points behind Argyle at the start of November.
"You can never say it's over, there's 14 games to go, so there's a lot of points to play for, but they're in a very good position," Adams said.
Plymouth are still second in the table, but the gap to third-placed Oxford was cut to three points after their win over the Pilgrims' Devon rivals Exeter City.
"I think that Northampton have got a good chance of winning the league, the run they've been on is magnificent," Adams told BBC Radio Devon.
"It's very tight and we knew it was going to be that at the start of the season.
"We've put ourselves in a very good position, we just have to keep on trying too pick up points and trying to win games."
The juvenile female was discovered at the Holkham National Nature Reserve on the north Norfolk coast on Thursday.
The Cetacean Strandings Investigation Programme (CSIP) carried out a post-mortem examination on the beach to establish the cause of its death.
Plans are in place to remove the carcass, the Holkham Estate said.
"Evidence from the post-mortem examination indicates that the fin whale had developed a spinal abnormality, which had potentially limited the degree of movement and brought progressive wasting of muscles and death," Rob Deaville from the CSIP said.
"The degree of muscle-wasting appeared much more profound along the tail-stock, behind a 'hump', so we speculate that the spinal abnormality had limited the degree of movement in that region in particular, which would have impacted on the animal's ability to dive and feed.
"The spinal abnormality may have been congenital, but it is certainly possible that the whale may have survived an historical traumatic event."
Dr Ben Garrod, of Anglia Ruskin University, previously said that fin whales, the second largest group in the whale family, were more often seen in the deep ocean.
"Fin whales are rarely, if ever, seen in the North Sea and are instead found off the western British Isles."
Paul Tompkins was found in a flat in Forge Road, Stourbridge, West Midlands, by police after they forced the front door open. The 59-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene.
A police spokesman said they had been alerted by a worried neighbour.
Daniel Jones, of Forge Road, has been remanded in custody at Dudley Magistrates' Court.
He is due to appear at crown court on Tuesday.
Police said a post-mortem examination confirmed Mr Tompkins died of stab wounds.
The 28-year-old centre-back, who made 40 appearances for the Terriers last season, has agreed a three-year deal with the R's.
"He offers us something a little bit different," QPR manager Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink said.
"He's left-sided, which will give us better balance, and has that ability to bring the ball out from the back."
Former Brighton and Nottingham Forest player Lynch, who can also play at left-back, joined Huddersfield in 2012 and scored nine goals in 128 appearances for the Yorkshire club.
He becomes QPR's second signing of the summer, following the arrival of Polish midfielder Ariel Borysiuk at Loftus Road last week.

In December 2014, self-styled Islamist Man Haron Monis held 18 people hostage inside the Lindt Cafe in Martin Place.
Heavily armed police raided the building 17 hours later after Monis shot cafe manager Tori Johnson.
The inquest is investigating the police response to the situation.
Monis was shot dead by police during the raid, while a second hostage, Katrina Dawson, was killed by stray bullet fragments fired by police.
Under cross examination on Tuesday, the forward commander in charge of the siege operation was asked why he did not order the raid earlier, when Monis fired a shot in the direction of six escaping hostages.
The detective chief superintendant, who cannot be named for legal reasons, said it had been "a high stakes game". When challenged on his use of "game" he said it "may not be the right word".
Questions about why police snipers did not attempt to shoot Monis have been heavily discussed during the inquest.
A barrister acting for the Johnson family put it to the police commander that his mission had been to secure the safe release of the hostages rather than the welfare of the gunman.
"I can't ignore Man Monis as an individual, he had the same rights as anyone else," the police officer replied.
The comments prompted Ken Johnson and Rossie Connellan to rise from their seats and leave the court.
Ms Connellan yelled at the officer: "You're an absolute disgrace."
How the Sydney siege unfolded
The commander had previously said the cafe siege had the hallmarks of a domestic incident rather than terrorism, despite the fact that Monis asked to be given a flag of the so-called Islamic State (IS) militant group.
He said he had been advised by a psychiatrist that the siege was "final posturing" by Monis in order to gain some "street cred" before a likely jail sentence.
Monis had been facing dozens of sexual assault charges plus charges of being an accessory to the murder of his ex-wife.
"Our experience internationally is IS does not have sieges, they have active armed offender situations," said the officer.
"They commence with violence, high levels of death, whether by a person-borne bomb or automatic gunfire - they are not siege situations.
The officer said he believed at the time that if negotiators could speak directly with Monis, they could achieve a peaceful end.
On Wednesday, he told the inquest: "Three people lost their lives because of me. I reflect on this every day but I don't know what I could have changed."
The inquest, before Coroner Michael Barnes, is continuing in Sydney.
Gŵyr, Dyffryn Clwyd a Gogledd Caerdydd oedd yr etholaethau hynny, gyda phob un o bedair sedd y brifddinas yn bellach yn goch.
Roedd yna ddarogan y byddai'r blaid yn colli seddi yn y gogledd ddwyrain, ond dyw hynny ddim wedi digwydd.

Mae'r canlyniadau ar draws y Deyrnas Unedig yn golygu mai senedd grog fydd y senedd nesaf, a'r Ceidwadwyr fydd y blaid fwyaf.
Yn dilyn ymweliad â Phalas Buckingham ddydd Gwener cyhoeddodd y prif weinidog Theresa May y byddai'n ceisio ffurfio llywodraeth leiafrifol, gyda chefnogaeth y DUP o Ogledd Iwerddon.
Hyd yn hyn mae'r ffigyrau yn awgrymu bod tua 68.7% o etholwyr wedi pleidleisio, gyda chynnydd yng Nghymru ac ar draws y DU.

Dyw'r Ceidwadwyr yng Nghymru ddim wedi llwyddo i gipio unrhyw seddi ychwanegol ond maent wedi dal gafael ar Aberconwy, Gorllewin Clwyd, Sir Fynwy, Gorllewin Caerfyrddin a De Sir Benfro a Bro Morgannwg gyda llai o fwyafrif.
Maent hefyd wedi cadw Maldwyn, a Brycheiniog a Sir Faesyfed gyda chynnydd yn eu mwyafrif.
Yn Arfon roedd hi'n agos rhwng Plaid Cymru a Llafur gyda'r AS presennol, Hywel Williams, yn cael ei ail ethol ond gyda mwyafrif llawer yn llai sef 92 pleidlais.
Mae Plaid Cymru hefyd wedi cadw Dwyfor Meirionnydd, a Dwyrain Caerfyrddin a Dinefwr, ond lwyddon nhw ddim i gipio Ynys Môn.
Albert Owen sydd wedi cadw ei sedd yno, gyda'r Ceidwadwr ifanc Tomos Dafydd yn yr ail safle.
Ymgeisydd Plaid Cymru oedd cyn arweinydd y blaid, Ieuan Wyn Jones.
Yn dilyn y canlyniadau mynnodd Mrs May na fydd hi'n ymddiswyddo, er bod ei phlaid wedi colli'r mwyafrif oedd ganddyn nhw yn San Steffan cyn yr etholiad.
Gyda 649 o'r 650 sedd ar draws y DU wedi eu cyhoeddi, mae'r Ceidwadwyr wedi ennill 318, naw yn brin o fwyafrif.
"Ar yr adeg hon fwy nag unrhyw bryd, mae angen cyfnod o sefydlogrwydd ar y wlad," meddai yn dilyn y canlyniad yn ei hetholaeth hi ym Maidenhead.
Dywedodd Jeremy Corbyn ei fod yn "barod i wasanaethu", a hynny wedi i Lafur ennill 261 o seddi.
Ychwanegodd ei bod hi'n bryd i Mrs May "symud o'r neilltu" ar gyfer llywodraeth fyddai "wir yn cynrychioli pobl y wlad".
Gwelwyd cwymp o 12% yng nghyfran UKIP o'r bleidlais gydag arweinydd y grŵp yn y Cynulliad, Neil Hamilton, yn colli ei flaendal yn Nwyrain Caerfyrddin a Dinefwr.
68.5% o bobl wnaeth bleidleisio yng Nghymru, cynnydd o 3% o'i gymharu gyda 2015.
Dywedodd y Prif Weinidog, Carwyn Jones fod Jeremy Corbyn wedi "gwrando ar bobl".
"Mae e wedi siarad gydag aelodau o'r cyhoedd. Wnaeth e ddim siarad mewn cyfarfodydd oedd yn llawn o bobl yn union fel fe," meddai.
"Mi wnaeth e gymryd rhan yn y dadleuon arweinwyr, gwrando ar y bobl a dyna oedd y gwahaniaeth yn yr ymgyrch."
Mae gweinidog yn Swyddfa Cymru, Guto Bebb wedi dweud fod y canlyniad wedi bod yn "siomedig" i'r blaid Geidwadol yng Nghymru ond ei bod hi'n rhy gynnar i siarad am gamgymeriadau.
"Dw i'n meddwl bod rhywbeth reit ddiddorol a chymhleth wedi digwydd.
"Do fe wnaeth ymgyrch y blaid Geidwadol rhai camgymeriadau.
"Ond dw i'n meddwl bod rhywbeth mwy sylfaenol wedi digwydd ac mae hi yn rhy gynnar siarad ynglŷn â beth yn union wnaeth arwain at y canlyniadau rydyn ni wedi gweld heno."
Er i Blaid Cymru weld eu pleidlais yn gostwng mewn sawl rhan o Gymru, dywedodd eu harweinydd Leanne Wood ei bod "wrth ei bodd" wedi iddyn nhw lwyddo i ychwanegu Ceredigion at nifer eu seddi.
"Roedd hi'n noson od, ac ar noson pan gafodd gwleidyddiaeth ei rannu rhwng y ddwy brif blaid, rydyn ni'n falch o weld Plaid Cymru'n ennill sedd, a'r nifer uchaf o ASau rydyn ni wedi ei gael," meddai wrth Good Morning Wales.
Ychwanegodd y byddai'n rhaid adlewyrchu hefyd ar y seddi ble na lwyddodd y blaid i ennill tir: "Dwi ddim yn meddwl fod unrhyw un wedi darogan y canlyniad yma neithiwr."
Dywedodd Neil Hamilton o UKIP fod ei blaid yntau wedi eu "gwasgu".
Mae arweinydd UKIP ar draws y DU, Paul Nuttall wedi cyhoeddi y bydd yn camu o'r neilltu wedi i'r blaid fethu ag ennill unrhyw seddi.
Mae'r Farwnes Jenny Randerson wedi dweud bod y Democratiaid Rhyddfrydol wedi dioddef ar lefel Prydeinig.
"Dydych chi ddim yn cael cymaint o amser ar y cyfryngau ac felly mae'n llawer mwy anodd i bleidio eich achos. Mae wedi bod yn etholiad caled," meddai.
Ychwanegodd cadeirydd pwyllgor gweithredol cenedlaethol y blaid, Carole O'Toole, fod colli eu hunig sedd yn Nghymru yn "ddiwrnod trist i ryddfrydiaeth yng Nghymru".
Mae disgwyl i'r blaid ddewis arweinydd newydd yn y misoedd nesaf wedi i'r arweinydd presennol, Mark Williams, golli ei sedd yng Ngheredigion.
The Reverend James Percival, 64, of Holy Trinity Church in Freckleton, and daughter Ruth, 28, were also arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to conceal the birth of a child.
His wife Susan, 65, was also arrested on suspicion of concealing a birth.
Lancashire Police said three people have been bailed until 5 March. A post-mortem examination was inconclusive.
A police spokesman said: "The 64-year-old man and 28-year-old woman arrested on suspicion of murder and conspiracy to conceal the birth of a child and the 65-year-old woman arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to conceal the birth of a child have all been bailed until 5 March 2015."
Further tests to establish how the baby died will be carried out.
Police arrested the vicar and his daughter on Tuesday after reports of a woman giving birth to a stillborn baby boy on 25 November.
PD Warrior is an exercise regime that claims to slow down the onset of Parkinson's symptoms.
Participants at the private Morrello Clinic in Newport said the treatment works and should be free on the NHS.
The Welsh Government and Parkinson's UK said more clinical studies are needed.
The clinic has been running a 10-week course in the exercise regime, which was developed five years ago in Australia.
Jenni McCabbe, 67, from Newport, is paying £350 for the training because she has mobility issues caused by Parkinson's.
"I wish I'd started 16 years ago, it would have been very helpful," she said.
"PD Warrior is teaching me to make large dynamic movements.
"I've written to the head of research at Parkinson's UK to evaluate it and have it rolled out into the NHS if possible."
Jason King, an exercise physiologist from Sydney, Australia, is leading the Welsh trial of PD Warrior.
He said the training was different because it combines over-exaggerated movement with mental tasks.
"It might be saying girl's names up through the alphabet or counting backwards from 30," he said.
"You keep your mind going while keeping the intensity in the exercise up, which is challenging and that's what we want."
Research in Australia has suggested the training can encourage "neuroplasticity" or a rewiring of the brain around areas damaged by Parkinson's.
But more study is needed before the treatment can be endorsed in Britain, according to Parkinson's UK.
The director of the charity in Wales, Barbara Locke, said she was pleased PD Warrior is available as a private treatment in Wales.
"We think it's a great opportunity to find out more about the programme and how it can benefit people with Parkinson's," she said.
"But we're very clear - it isn't to be seen as a cure and we certainly don't have evidence that it halts the symptoms or slows them down in any way."
In a statement, the Welsh Government said it was watching the trial in Newport "with interest".
It has committed £1.2m on improving services for people living with long-term neurological conditions like Parkinson's.
The Team Ireland star returned home to County Londonderry last week, fresh from success at the World Para-athletics Championships in London.
The visually impaired athlete won two golds in the T13 100m and 200m.
The 30 year old said he is aware that his career has a limited shelf life.
In an interview with the BBC's Sunday News programme, Smyth said he was delighted with his latest performance and still plans to compete at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.
"As long as I feel I can kick on and sustain at that level, I will continue to do so, and once I get to Tokyo I'll probably reassess and see where I'm at and where the future is," he said.
The Eglinton para-athlete, however, acknowledged that he is "not getting any younger" and said he had already taken steps for life after his sporting career.
"The hard thing is that people often look at sport and think 'lots of money, flashy lifestyle', and yes, that is the case within certain sports, but a for a lot of sports that's a long way from the reality of the situation," said Smyth.
"I don't think there are a lot of things in place for athletes as they try to transition, because you give 100% to something constantly and so you have to let everything else sit on the backburner."
Far removed from his running career, he revealed that he is interested in finance, and on Monday, he is starting the first of two stints of work experience.
"One is more retail banking, and the other is more in investing and stock-broking, just to get an overview of things to see if I can gain some experience and over the next few years help me transition from sport," said Smyth.
Asked about pursuing a coaching career, he said he had not ruled it out - but added that he would like the opportunity to try something different from the life he has led so far.
"When it comes to things like coaching, there's not really the opportunities, there's no money in it," he said.
Smyth is confident that the qualities which brought him success in his professional sporting career will propel him further in whatever path he chooses to follow.
"A lot of those characteristics you have to learn to be successful in sport are the same things you need to be successful in any walk of life, it's about you transfer them into anything you do," he said.
With no competitions on the horizon until the 2018 Para Athletic Championships, Smyth is wasting no time in moving ahead.
He plans to spend the rest of the summer on work experience, before resuming his training in September.
One thing is for sure, if he does end up working in finance, there will not be many people who can claim to work with a paralympic star who has won dozens of gold medals.
Smyth hopes he can win a few more before swapping sprinting for a desk job.

Their most recent concern is a 20% cut in fuel subsidy to bus service operators, by the government, which came into effect on Sunday.
Previously operators received a base subsidy of 43.21p per litre. That figure has now dropped to 34.57p.
Tim Gardner, from Webberbus, said the passenger would be the one to suffer if the company could not make a surplus.
"The amount of fuel that we burn within our buses is quite substantial," he said.
"Although it is only a few pence per litre, multiply that by hundreds of thousands of litres and it adds up to be a fairly substantial number.
"If we do not make a surplus we cannot reinvest into our fleet, develop our networks, and at the end of the day the passenger will suffer - so we have to look at some way to recoup the cost."
Operators said they had been expecting the 20% cut to be fazed in over a four-year period but had been notified recently that it would, in fact, be made in full from 1 April.
On top of this, bus companies are facing subsidy cuts from local councils and what they describe as the "enormous" price of fuel.
"We can deal with one or two hits but we can't deal with all three," said Alan Graham from South West Coaches.
He said he believed that Somerset would not have any rural bus services in 10 years time if things continue this way.
"We've got to try and keep fares down to get people on our vehicles," he said.
"If we had more people on the buses then we would obviously get income that way, but in rural Somerset we don't get that number of people on the buses."
Bus operators in England were told by the government in October 2010 that the Bus Service Operators' Grant (BSOG) - a rebate on fuel duty - would reduce by 20% over three years from April 2012.
The trade union Unite says that the shop floor jobs are to go from the firm's "complementary labour force".
That part of the workforce is made up from temporary and contract workers and tends to fluctuate depending on demand.
The company confirmed that up to 130 contract workers are being let go and described it as "regrettable".
Last year, Bombardier cut 300 temporary and contract jobs and made 90 people redundant from the permanent workforce.
The aerospace company is one of Northern Ireland's biggest employers.
About 5,000 permanent employees and about 1,000 temporary and contract staff work at its Belfast base.
In a statement, Bombardier said "the need to be competitive" meant the company had to make adjustments to its staffing levels.
Bombardier has had a difficult few years with the development of its C Series plane badly delayed and a business jet project suspended.
That has been reflected in its Northern Ireland workforce - Tuesday's announcement brings the number of job losses to more than 500 in six months.
Last week, the Canadian firm appointed a new chief executive in an attempt to find a way out of the current problems.
The new man, Alain Bellemare, needs to convince more airlines to buy the C Series, an aircraft which has cost more than $5bn to develop.
"Our manpower situation is kept under constant review. We have reviewed our latest requirements based on current customer demand," the firm said.
"Up until mid-2014, we had increased our complementary labour force by over 1,000 positions, but lately we have had to reduce this level."
A spokesman for the union Unite said the cuts were "another savage blow" to the company's workforce.
Regional coordinating officer Davy Thompson said: "This announcement highlights the inadequacy of existing employment protection, in particular for that afforded to agency workers who are making up more and more of the Northern Ireland labour force.
"There's a need for Stormont politicians to get serious on action to improve job security protections for workers, particularly within the manufacturing sector where there is a real risk of de-skilling."
It was announced after Presidents Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin met for the first time at G20 talks on Friday. The truce is also backed by Jordan.
It is in force along a line agreed by Syrian government forces and rebels.
About 300,000 people have been killed in Syria's conflict, which began with protests in 2011. Another 11 million have been forced from their homes.
Russia and the US have backed opposing sides, with Moscow supporting the Damascus government while Washington has called for the removal of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
Russian forces and a US-led coalition have been carrying out air strikes in their respective campaigns.
The ceasefire, which Russia has said covers the regions of Deraa, Quneitra and Sweida, was reported to result from months of undisclosed talks between Russian and US officials.
Speaking after the meeting between Mr Putin and Mr Trump in the German city of Hamburg, US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said: "This is our first indication of the US and Russia being able to work together in Syria."
Mr Tillerson said Friday's meeting also showed that the two countries eventual aims for Syria were "exactly the same" - but they differed on how they should be achieved.
Coastguards said the engine could not be controlled and was leading the vessel several miles out to sea.
The alarm was raised at 10:00 BST by a device which gave their position, and both the main and inshore lifeboats from Llandudno went to the rescue.
The pair were taken off the 32ft (10m) yacht unharmed and the vessel was towed to Conwy marina.
Government adviser Abdul Basit Haroun said smugglers were hiding IS militants on boats filled with migrants.
He based his claim on conversations with boat owners in parts of North Africa controlled by the militants.
He alleged that IS was allowing them to continue their operations in exchange for 50% of their income.
The UN estimates that 60,000 people have already tried to cross the Mediterranean this year.
More than 1,800 people are feared to have died making the journey in often overcrowded and unseaworthy boats in 2015 - a 20-fold increase on the same period in 2014.
In an interview with BBC Radio 5 live Investigates, Mr Haroun said IS used "the boats for their people who they want to send to Europe as the European police don't know who is from IS and who is a normal refugee or not".
The militants often sat separately from the other migrants and were not scared of the crossing, he said, adding that they were "for IS - 100%".
Mr Haroun added that IS allowed boat owners to operate - but demanded a 50% cut of whatever they made from each ship.

How strong is IS in Libya?
He also suggested that the jihadists were planning ahead for future attacks in Europe.
Earlier this year, the EU's border control agency, Frontex, warned that it was "possible" that foreign fighters were using irregular migration routes to get into Europe.
IS - which controls large parts of Iraq and Syria - has been active in recent months in Libya, exploiting a power struggle between rival groups after the fall of Col Muammar Gaddafi.
In March, IS also claimed responsibility for the attack in Tunisia's capital Tunis, in which 22 people were killed.
The Atlantic 85 inshore boat set off just after 01:00 BST on Thursday to a person calling for help in the River Rother at Rock Channel.
On the way, the boat hit a "submerged, unlit object", injuring the crew and damaging the boat, the charity said.
Two of the injured were taken by ambulance to hospital and are now recovering in hospital and at home.
The original casualty who called for help was assisted by a passer-by safely to shore, the charity said.
Rye Harbour was the scene of one of the RNLI's worst lifeboat disasters in its 165-year history when 17 crew lost their lives in 1928.
The charity said the Atlantic 85 inshore lifeboat had been in service since 2010.
Aqsa Mahmood, 20, was reported missing by her family in November 2013.
A Twitter account under the name Umm Layth, believed to be Ms Mahmood, said: "Follow the examples of your brothers from Woolwich, Texas and Boston.
"If you cannot make it to the battlefield then bring the battlefield to yourself."
The post was made on the Twitter account in June. The account has now been deactivated.
Ms Mahmood's family have described her as a "studious and ambitious girl" and said they "cannot understand why she has travelled to Syria".
She was a pupil at Craigholme School and Shawlands Academy in Glasgow.
In a statement, issued by Police Scotland, her family said: "We had no knowledge of our daughter's plans to leave Scotland and immediately reported her as a missing person to the police.
"Aqsa is a studious and ambitious girl and we cannot understand why she has travelled to Syria.
"We are struggling to come to terms with the situation and we are working with the police."
A Police Scotland spokesman added: "A (then aged) 19-year-old female from Scotland was reported missing to Police Scotland by her family in November 2013.
"Inquiries are ongoing in relation to her whereabouts and we are supporting her family."
The Boeing 757-224 landed safely at the County Clare airport at 14:28 BST.
Flight UA76 left Belfast International Airport at 11:19 BST and was due to arrive in New Jersey's Newark Airport at 13:45 local time.
United Airlines said it was a "mechanical issue". In February, a plane on the same route had to make an emergency landing in Manchester.
The reason given for that diversion was also a "mechanical issue". United Airlines said it was not the same plane that was re-directed to Shannon.
There were 121 passengers and nine crew members on board Monday's flight to Newark and they are spending the night in County Clare.
Shortly after take-off, the plane developed a mechanical issue believed to have been with the landing gear.
An emergency was declared and the plane was diverted to Shannon Airport, where it circled for about two hours to burn off fuel before it was light enough to make a low approach for inspection.
It then gained altitude for a go-around before landing.
Belfast journalist Lesley-Anne McKeown was on the flight with her husband Brendan. They were heading to New York for three nights to celebrate his 40th birthday.
The Press Association reporter, who is 29 weeks pregnant, said everything was normal with the take-off until the wheels came up and there was a "really loud grinding noise".
"That persisted for a while and then one of the senior flight officers came over the tannoy and said there was a mechanical problem.
"He said there was 'nothing to worry about... at this point'. When he said 'at this point' I got worried."
She said the atmosphere was tense, as cabin crew spoke to various people on board about emergency procedures.
"People were just worried," she said. "They were trying to keep their spirits up but you could see people were scared. This lasted for two hours."
She said she was most frightened when the plane did the fly-past to check if the front wheels were up or down.
"They confirmed the wheels were down. There was a palpable sense of relief but they still didn't know whether they were in the lock position - whether they could take the impact of the landing," she said.
There were tears and cheers when the plane touched down, she added, and lighter moments during the mid-air drama.
"When everyone was trying to keep their spirits up the woman in front of us turned to the woman beside her and said 'at least it's not raining'," she said.
"Typical Belfast humour."
United Airlines apologised for the inconvenience caused.
"We are providing our customers with meals and overnight hotel accommodation, and are making arrangements for them to continue their journeys tomorrow," the company said.
Peter Morgan, 54, of Llanellen, Monmouthshire, is accused of strangling Georgina Symonds, 25, in January.
The father-of-two admits killing Miss Symonds but denies murder.
Newport Crown Court was told Mr Morgan had visits from call girls at his family home before meeting Miss Symonds.
He continued to see other women despite paying her £10,000 a month to work as his exclusive escort, the trial heard.
Dr Ajat Sanikop, a mental disorder expert who interviewed Mr Morgan after he admitted strangling Miss Symonds, said the millionaire began paying for sex in 2011.
He said: "[Mr] Morgan began using such services after he was showed how to use his iPhone for various things.
"He met Georgina a year later but he continued to use escort services. She had no major objections to him seeing other escorts.
"Then, in April 2015, his marriage broke down when his wife, Helen, came to be aware about him bringing escorts to the marital home."
Dr Sanikop also said Mr Morgan told him Miss Symonds was only in a relationship with him for money, but he was in love with her regardless.
He added: "I think he was quite clear that Georgina was with him because of the money and the lifestyle he gave her.
"But he said he loved her. He was quite aware that as long as he paid her she would stay with him, and if he stopped she wouldn't.
"He described it as a relationship, but it's difficult to classify it as one."
The court was previously told Mr Morgan strangled Miss Symonds at her home in his castle grounds in Llanmartin after hearing she planned to leave him and hid her body in farm buildings behind his family home.
He denies murder, saying he was suffering from diminished responsibility due to Asperger's syndrome.
Clinical psychologist Prof Simon Baron-Cohen said he was "in no doubt" that Mr Morgan had Asperger's syndrome.
He said Mr Morgan suffered from a "black-and-white" mindset which affected his decision-making in dealing with Miss Symonds.
"His accounts of his social relationships are not that of a typical person," he said.
The court heard that Miss Symonds threatened to send explicit videos and pictures she had of Mr Morgan to his family.
Prof Baron-Cohen said: "He felt he had to stop and frighten her. He felt quite trapped, and wanted to protect his children at all costs."
The trial continues.
Over 3.8m antidepressant prescriptions were dispensed in Wales in 2011, the highest rate per head of any UK nation.
Mental health charities said more people should be offered counselling, but a doctor's spokesman said lengthy waiting times gave them little choice.
Ministers say mental health provision would be boosted by £3.5m.
The number of antidepressant prescriptions per head in Wales rose last year by nearly 8% - a similar increase to that seen in England and Scotland.
Wales has the highest rate of antidepressant prescriptions of any UK nation at 1.24 per head, compared to 1.18 in Northern Ireland, 0.89 in Scotland and 0.88 in England.
The figures were obtained by BBC Wales in a Freedom of Information request to the Welsh government.
Drugs such as Citalopram, Fluoxetine (often known as Prozac) and Lofeprine, amongst others, cost the Welsh NHS over £16 million in 2011.
Advice from the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) recommends the use of talking therapies such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) to treat mild to moderate depression and anxiety disorders.
Their guidelines state that antidepressants should "not routinely be offered" for people with persistent mild or moderate depression or anxiety and that talking therapies should be considered instead.
David Bailey, chair of the British Medical Association's general practitioners committee in Wales, said doctors tried where possible to avoid prescribing drugs for depression but sometimes had little choice.
"Within a 10 minute consultation there's only so much talking therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy you can actually do," he said.
"So what we would like is to have relatively quick access to a professional who can do that much more focussed treatment for a patient.
"At the moment there's a huge issue with the time before which people can get these sorts of therapies."
The Welsh mental health charity Gofal said patients found family doctors lacking time and resources to prescribe appropriate treatment.
"In our experience GPs can often only offer a five to 10 minute chat followed by a prescription for antidepressants," said a spokesperson.
"In some areas, alternative therapies such as CBT and counselling can be and are being prescribed, but patients are still faced with very lengthy waiting times, during which their mental health often deteriorates to a state of crisis."
The Welsh government said there were clear guidelines on the prescribing of antidepressants, and that it was boosting the provision of counselling services.
"We are investing £3.5 million from October 2012 to develop primary care mental health services across Wales," said a spokesperson.
"One aspect of this provision will be to increase evidence-based interventions such as psychological therapies to people with mild to moderate mental health problems."
The Welsh government added that it had commissioned a review of access to psychological therapy services which would report back in the winter.
Information obtained by BBC Wales under the Freedom of Information Act show a mixed pattern in referrals for therapy, which had dropped in some regions.
Cardiff and Vale University Health Board said referrals had increased in 2011, while the Abertawe Bro Morgannwg, Cwm Taf and Aneurin Bevan boards said they had fallen.
Hywel Dda Health Board in mid and west Wales said the waiting time for cognitive behavioural psychotherapy was currently around 10 months, while other forms of therapy had shorter waiting times.
But wind and solar alone cannot deliver a world of clean and free fuel. Both are, by their very nature, variable, so to realise their true potential other technologies need to be harnessed.
Improving connectivity to other countries is one relatively simple solution, but in a world where governments are becoming increasingly preoccupied with energy security, its attractions are somewhat limited.
Managing demand more effectively using smart grids and appliances is another.
But the technology with the most revolutionary potential is energy storage.
As Jimmy Aldridge at the UK's Institute of Public Policy Research think tank says: "This is the most exciting area within the energy sphere and it's totally transforming the way we interact with the grid."
There are some very obvious ways in which storage can help communities and companies across the world.
Blackouts in developing economies can cause havoc.
In South Africa in 2008, for example, power cuts caused some of the country's biggest gold and platinum mines to close, leading to a rise in global commodity prices, not to mention huge disruption to the lives of millions. Such unreliable power grids also hamper foreign investment.
Energy storage can not only provide back-up power in case of power cuts, but also help electricity grids run at average rather than peak load, therefore reducing the chances of cuts in the first place.
To this end, Puerto Rico, for example, has set a 30% storage requirement for any new renewable capacity.
A series of articles looking at how the world will meet increasing demand for energy and the need to cut CO2 emissions linked to global warming, using old and new technologies
But it's not just developing countries that can benefit. The US government estimates that hundreds of power cuts between 2003 and 2012 cost the country up to $70bn (£45bn) a year. Tens of storage systems are already operating in many states, while California has set a target of 1.3GW to help meet its renewable objectives.
The UK has already built its first grid-level storage battery while Italy, Hungary and Saudi Arabia among others are likely to follow suit.
Storage is also proving invaluable for isolated communities that have no access to the national grid, with islanders in particular enjoying continuous power without the need for additional diesel generation.
But this is just the beginning. Renewables, together with energy storage, open the tantalising possibility of communities and individuals becoming energy self-sufficient.
With solar panels or wind turbines generating electricity and batteries storing it, households become far less reliant on the grid.

The costs today are prohibitively high for mass adoption, but there are already residential energy storage solutions on the market, such as those developed by the UK's Moixa Energy.
The German government is even setting aside €50m (£36m; $56m) a year to offer subsidies to its citizens specifically to help buy storage batteries. Since May 2013, some 5,500 Germans have been given on average €3,200, with demand increasing all the time.
According to Julia Hertin at the German Advisory Council on the Environment, cost is still a barrier. "At the moment, this is more of an emotional decision than an economic one - people like the idea of being energy self-sufficient," she says.
"There could be a point when [storage] becomes a game changer, but we're not there yet."
But costs will come down. As Ben Warren at consultancy EY points out, solar panels cost 80% less than they did just five years ago.
"The storage market looks and smells just like the solar PV market did [then]," he says. "Over the next three to five years, energy storage will become very affordable, very quickly."
Indeed forecasts suggest the market could be worth anything between $30bn and $400bn in the next five to seven years.
The implications for consumers, big power utilities and grid operators are profound.
Small-scale storage could have a similar effect to grid-scale storage, as consumers would be able to buy power from the grid when it's cheap and plentiful, and use their own when it's more expensive. This would help balance demand and reduce strain on the system.
But it will also lead "very quickly to a point where demand from the grid is much reduced", says Mr Aldridge.
This raises important questions about who will pay for grid maintenance - initially at least only the more wealthy will be able to afford renewables and storage, leaving those who can't afford them to pick up the bill.
But it's the utilities that will be hit hardest by a fundamental shift away from centralised energy production. As Andrew Jones at S&C Electric says: "You can't compete with someone who has no fuel costs."
Research by Barclays has estimated that 20% of US electricity consumers will be able to use power from solar and storage for the same price as they get it from the grid by as early as 2018.
It concluded: "In the 100-year plus history of the electric utility industry, there has never before been a truly cost-competitive substitute available for grid power.
"We believe that solar plus storage could reconfigure the organisation and regulation of the electric power business over the coming decade."
As a result, the bank downgraded its credit rating on all US electricity utilities.
The threat is so grave, in fact, Citibank has estimated that "in their current form" utilities in developed economies could see the size of their market shrink by more than 50%.
The point is not lost on some. At the end of last year, the boss of German energy giant E.On announced the company was spinning off its fossil fuel and nuclear business to focus on renewables, declaring that the traditional business model for utilities had "broken apart".
As Mr Warren says, with an increasing number of energy services companies able to provide everything their customers need to generate and store their own energy, utilities are waking up to the fact that "central generation and pumping juice down wires is not the future".
The ultimate beneficiaries, of course, will be consumers.
Energy storage paves the way for what Bill Watkins at Imergy Power Systems calls the "democratisation of energy", where consumers are no longer in thrall to big power companies and are able to generate their own power that, after set-up costs, is effectively free.
Large-scale generation and national grids are not going to disappear overnight, if ever, but many individuals and communities will soon have the power to choose their own energy futures.
Some within the industry view such a bold vision with scepticism. They do so at their peril.
Eighteen jade artefacts were stolen in the professionally-planned raid on Cambridge University's Fitzwilliam Museum at about 19:30 BST on 13 April.
Marvin Simos, 16, from east London, was one of four people sentenced.
Cambridge Crown Court heard the art, which has not been recovered, was of "incalculable cultural significance".
Simos, of Hanameel Street, Victoria Dock, London, admitted burglary. He was sentenced to a four-month detention and training order.
Steven Coughlan, 25, of Gypsies Residential Site, in Eleanor Street, Bow, east London, Robert Smith, 24, of Rosedale Stables, Swanley, Kent, and a 29-year-old man from London, who cannot be named for legal reasons, will each serve six years after admitting conspiracy to burgle.
Sentencing, Mr Justice Fulford described the crime as an "act of cultural vandalism".
He said: "This resulted in the loss to the museum and the public at large, not only in this country but across the world, of pieces of incalculable cultural significance and many millions of pounds in monetary value.
"The likelihood is they passed into private hands and will not be seen again for many generations, if at all."
The judge added: "They are rare and beautiful objects and I draw the irresistible inference that they have gone or will go to one or more private collectors."
A display case was smashed after a disc cutter was used to create a hole in a back wall.
The art has been valued at between £5m and £15m.
Defence counsel told the court "others higher up the chain", who have not been identified, recruited the gang to target the jade exhibits.
The day before the raid, Smith, Coughlan and the 29-year-old were caught on CCTV "paying particular attention" to the Chinese gallery which housed the stolen artefacts, police said.
Glenn Harris, for Coughlan, said his client had lived a "pitiful existence" and had drink and drug problems.
Coughlan had been released from prison for another offence eight days before the burglary.
Beata Kopel said her client, Smith, was of limited intellect and had never attended secondary school. He was not physically involved in the burglary but took part in its planning.
Peter Caldwell, for Simos, said the boy did not enter the museum and had been "thoroughly exploited" and "selected for his naivety".
Alexander Taylor-Camara, mitigating for the 29-year-old, claimed the man had been pressurised into taking part and was not a "professional burglar".
David Scrase, acting director of the Fitzwilliam, said the raid had damaged the museum's precious reputation for "guarding treasures".
Staff had been shocked by the "brutal" destruction of the Chinese gallery, he said.
A spokesman for the museum added: "We very much look forward to the next stage of the investigation, entailing the return of all 18 stolen jades to the Fitzwilliam Museum."
Loss adjusters are to offer a reward for information leading to the recovery of the stolen property, with an advert is to appear in the Antiques Trade Gazette.
In a video statement, police named him as 68-year-old Clive Cressy, believed to be from Hove in East Sussex.
Speaking to the camera, an unnamed officer said he had been charged with having sexual intercourse with underage girls, buying child prostitutes and molesting a child aged under eight.
The Foreign Office said it was aware a man had been arrested in Phnom Penh.
The footage was filmed by a local TV station as police searched his home, where they reportedly found a suitcase containing condoms, toys and girls' dresses.
It also showed pictures of the suspect's passport, which appeared to confirm his name and age.
The policeman said the suspect was arrested in the capital city after a police operation lasting months.
He said he was reported after people in the neighbourhood saw him walking with young girls.
Mr Cressy is described in the video as a private doctor. Checks with the General Medical Council could not find a record of his being registered as a practitioner in the UK.
A Foreign Office spokesman said: "We are in contact with the Cambodian authorities following the arrest of a British man in Phnom Penh." | The UK is sitting on a plutonium stockpile that represents "thousands of years" of energy in the bank, according to a leading nuclear scientist.

The British Medical Association (BMA) says many are at "breaking point" as they struggle to fill staff vacancies.
At least 100 surgeries applied to NHS England to stop accepting new patients in 2014-15, a Freedom of Information request revealed.
NHS England said it was investing £15m to boost the workforce.
At the beginning of November, 299 surgeries were indicating on the NHS Choices website - which provides patients with information about surgeries in their local area - that they were not taking on new patients.
Dr Chaand Nagpul, chairman of the BMA's GP committee, said practices were struggling to recruit new doctors.
"GP services are reaching breaking point as they struggle to cope with rising patient demand, falling resources and a shortage of GPs," he said.
"Closing their list is the only option to maintain safe care to their local community."
The BBC has learned that among 8,000 practices in England, some are offering a "golden hello" of up to £10,000 to attract new doctors.
In Clacton-on-Sea, Essex, three out of the four town centre surgeries have had to stop taking on new patients.
Ranworth Surgery has been struggling to recruit new doctors and recently offered a £9,500 bonus after failing to attract applicants.
The surgery also closed its patient list after the intake of new patients saw it reach almost 9,000, which it deemed unsafe.
NHS England says practices will seek approval before closing their lists to new patients.
Analysis of the Freedom of Information data suggests about 46% of the 100 surgeries which applied in 2014-15 were denied permission, or withdrew the request.
Dr Robert Morley, chairman of the Birmingham Local Medical Committee, which represents the area's GPs, said practices could decide to stop taking on new patients without the approval of NHS England.
He said in Birmingham the local medical committee had been "particularly proactive" in pointing this out to practices, making them "feel empowered to take appropriate measures".
NHS England said: "When we receive a request to close a GP practice list, we consider both the impact on patients as well as on neighbouring practices and services to avoid displacing a problem elsewhere."
A spokesman for the Health and Social Care Information Centre, which operates the NHS Choices website, said: "We can say is that as of November 2015, this is the number of GP practices that were shown not to be accepting new patients.
"Of course the caveat with this is that not all GP practices may have updated their information so this figure needs to be treated with some caution".
Katherine Murphy, chief executive of the Patients Association, said: "The news that such a large number of practices have closed their lists to new patients is extremely worrying for patients and will mean even more will struggle to get the care they need."
MIAB is one of a number of insurers providing cover for practices for when they need to hire a locum doctor to fill in for a GP.
According to its claims data, stress/depression is the third biggest GP absence category, after maternity and bereavement.
This accounted for more than 10% of its claims over the past five years.
NHS England says it is introducing a national occupational health specification, "which will ensure consistent support for GPs".
A spokesman said: "We're also working with others to develop new services to combat issues like stress and burnout." | Hundreds of GP surgeries in England have stopped taking on new patients or have applied to do so, a BBC investigation has found. | 35,200,033 | 734 | 29 | false |
The Australian singer announced the film, called Sister, at Venice Film Festival, said the Hollywood Reporter.
Furler said she had initially been "embarrassed" about her ambition to get behind the camera.
But, after making a video for her song Chandelier last year, she realised she was "pretty good" at directing and "felt a little bit braver".
Ziegler, 12, starred in a trilogy of videos for Sia, including the controversial Elastic Heart, which co-starred Shia LaBeouf.
The singer said her film was based on a one-page story she wrote eight years ago. She was initially "too embarrassed to tell anyone I wanted to make a movie, because I thought it would be seen as a vanity project, because I was a singer" but overcame this after trying her hand at directing.
The screenplay was a collaboration with children's book author Dalles Clayton, and she said she really enjoyed "the creative process".
She added that although film-making is different from songwriting, she found there were similarities.
"For me, the process was basically, I work out the movie. I'll act it out, I'll have the dialogue already in my head."
But she stressed she was not a "technical person", adding: "Like, when I sing, I just want to sing the melody and write the lyrics. I don't want to have to do production, which is very technical. I don't enjoy that."
The media-wary star, 39, often obscures her face and turns her back on the audience.
She performed on the Graham Norton show last year facing the back of the stage, telling Norton that while she was ambitious she did not want to be famous, as she had famous friends and did not like the way they had to live their lives. | Singer Sia Furler has revealed she is directing a film starring her frequent collaborator, dancer Maddie Ziegler. | 34,185,890 | 404 | 29 | false |

The organisation Democrats Abroad has opened stations in Oxford, Cambridge, London, Edinburgh and St Andrews on so-called Super Tuesday.
Democrats Abroad is treated as a state and will send a similar quantity of delegates to the Democrat National Convention as Wyoming and Alaska.
Republican voters can only participate via individual absentee ballots.
Twelve US states cast votes for candidates from either the Republican or Democratic parties on Super Tuesday.
The contest is seen as a make or break moment for presidential hopefuls.
The so-called Global Presidential Primary - during which US expats can vote for their Democratic hopeful - opened to electronic and postal voting in January, but Tuesday sees the start of voting at polling stations.
The five UK voting centres - along with another 116 worldwide - will be open until 8 March.
The Democratic candidate needs to obtain 2,383 delegates to win the nomination - and 21 will come from Democrats Abroad.
Larry Sanders, the brother of Democrat candidate Bernie Sanders, will cast his vote at the Rothermere American Institute at the University of Oxford.
Prof Jay Sexton, director of the institute, said Democrats Abroad was "very well organised and decently funded" and could play a significant part in choosing the party's candidate.
"I know Republicans Overseas are seeking to organise something similar in the future" he added.
Prof Sexton continued: "[And] it's not just the primaries where these American expats should be taken seriously. Overseas voting was critical to putting George W Bush into the White House in 2000, and if things are tight, could be just as important in the 2016 election too."
Some expat voters in the UK also used social media to encourage participation.
There are an estimated 8.6m US citizens living abroad, and according to the 2011 census, more than 170,000 are in England.
Last week, the Democratic National Committee chairman, Governor Howard Dean, visited London to raise funds and mobilise the expat vote.
Jay Beatty, 11, of Lurgan, County Armagh, is an official ambassador of the club charity, Celtic FC Foundation.
It is alleged that he was the subject of an abusive post on social media on Friday 4 September.
Police Scotland said a 14-year-old boy had reported to the Children's Reporter in connection with the incident.
Heavy fighting has been reported, and President Ashraf Ghani said his forces had regained some government buildings.
Police said more than 80 militants had been killed, although there is no independent confirmation of this.
The Taliban overran Kunduz on Monday, forcing government troops to retreat.
US military planes were supporting the Afghan operation, striking Taliban positions on the outskirts of the city, a Nato spokesman said.
A Pentagon spokesman said the US had faith the Afghan military would recapture the city.
The Afghan health ministry said Kunduz hospitals had received 16 bodies, with almost 200 people injured.
Medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres‎ said its hospital in the city had been overwhelmed, with scores of patients suffering gunshot wounds.
Kunduz is the first provincial capital seized by the Taliban since they lost power in the US-led invasion 14 years ago.
An eyewitness in Kunduz told the BBC that Taliban reinforcements arrived on Tuesday, with the situation too dangerous for locals to leave.
The Taliban's new leader, Mullah Akhtar Mansour, said the government should admit defeat.
Kunduz residents "should not be worried about their lives and property" and should "continue as normal", he said in a statement.
But the eyewitness said that while some locals had welcomed the Taliban, "most people are out there (on the streets) out of fear, and not out of sympathy".
The surprise attack on the key northern city came as President Ghani completed his first year in office.
In a televised address on Tuesday, he said "progress" was being made recapturing Kunduz, but security forces had been hampered by the Taliban using civilians as human shields.
"The government of Afghanistan is a responsible government and it cannot bomb its people and compatriots inside the city and will not do so," he said.
The seizure of Kunduz has huge propaganda value for the insurgents. Pictures of Taliban fighters hoisting their trademark white flags in the city's squares and main buildings have been circulating on social media.
The capture of one of the most strategic and richest cities of Afghanistan will not only cement the credentials of the new Taliban leader, Mullah Akhtar Mansour - it will also embolden the Taliban in general.
The Taliban's main challenge will now be to hold the city. The way the Taliban behave and govern the city, even if it is for a few days, will demonstrate how far the group has changed since the fall of their regime in 2001.
Meanwhile, they will also try to expand their control in the neighbouring provinces where they already control huge chunks of territory.

Who are the Taliban?
Nato ended its combat mission in Afghanistan in December, withdrawing most of its troops apart from a 13,000-strong residual force used for training and counter-terrorism operations.
Kunduz is strategically important as a transport hub for the north of the country.
The insurgent attack began at dawn on Monday as fighters fell upon the city from different directions.
They captured key buildings and freed about 500 prisoners, including members of the Taliban, from the jail.
Officials and troops retreated to the airport, though dozens of civilians who fled to the airport were reportedly turned away by security forces.
Militant violence has increased across Afghanistan since the departure of most US and Nato forces last year.
Kunduz province has seen a number of attacks since April, with the Taliban joining forces with other insurgents.

A group game between hosts India and Pakistan had already been moved from Dharamsala to Kolkata over security concerns, but the Pakistan government wanted further guarantees.
There has not been a Test series between the two fierce rivals since 2007 because of political tension.
Pakistan are due to play against a qualifier in Kolkata on Tuesday.
Its government had already issued one clearance to take part in the tournament at the end of February, but delayed the team's planned departure on Wednesday because of a perceived threat from Hindu extremists.
On Thursday, interior minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan ruled out sending the team until safety assurances were made by the Indian government.
"We have received communication from the International Cricket Council and Board of Control for Cricket in India. We have received a letter from the chief minister of Bengal and the police chief," said Pakistan Cricket Board executive committee chairman Najam Sethi.
"Our High Commissioner, Abdul Basit, met the Indian secretary and the assurances were given."
Pakistan's women have also been cleared to take part in the tournament and will begin against West Indies on Wednesday.

Irish children's laureate Eoin Colfer and illustrator and writer Oliver Jeffers are both famous in their own rights.
Mr Jeffers, who grew up in Belfast, won the 2015 Book of the Year for Once Upon an Alphabet.
It is just one in a long list of awards he has received for his picture books.
Mr Colfer wrote the Artemis Fowl series of books that quickly became bestsellers.
Aimed at the young adult audience, the fantasy books focus on a young criminal mastermind who kidnaps a fairy in order to expand his empire.
He also penned the sixth instalment to Douglas Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
The former primary school teacher is from Wexford in the Republic of Ireland.
Both Mr Jeffers and Mr Colfer have recently worked with others in different art forms, but not with each other before.
Oliver Jeffers co-directed U2's video for their song 'Ordinary Love', while Kenneth Branagh has recently signed up to direct the film version of Artemis Fowl.
They decided to collaborate on 'Imaginary Fred' due to a chance meeting in New Zealand.
"We were there for the Auckland book festival and we met up at a story slam competition," Mr Colfer said.
"We were giggling like schoolboys at each other's stories, and at the end of the night we said let's do something together."
'Imaginary Fred' tells the story of Fred, who becomes the imaginary friend of Sam, a boy in need of company.
The two embark on a series of adventures together, but when Sam meets Sammi, a girl with an imaginary friend of her own, Fred has to move on from Sam.
The story, unusually, is told from Imaginary Fred's point of view.
"I like to do that with my books," said Mr Colfer.
"To take what is often a secondary character and make them the main character because they're a lot more interesting to me."
But with Mr Colfer living in Dublin and Mr Jeffers in New York, how did the collaboration work?
Mr Jeffers said modern technology made it all possible.
"Years ago we would have had to send carrier pigeons to each other," he said
"We used e-mails, phone calls, and, for showing visuals, I would hold my drawings up to the camera on the laptop via skype and we'd have a chat that way.
"Eoin could see everything I was doing in real time and we could talk about it together."
Despite their success working on their own, Mr Jeffers said they had no trepidation about working together.
"Eoin was an absolute pleasure to work with, and we both were very respectful of each others work," he said.
"We were just interested in making the best possible book, so there were no tiffs or fights or arguments.
"We were having fun, really, and I think that shows in the end product."
Now they've done it once both hope to collaborate again.
Their appearance at the MAC Theatre in Belfast sold out, and the venue was filled with young fans and their parents.
Mr Colfer said he thinks the interest in 'Imaginary Fred' shows that, despite all the other past-times available to children, interest in reading remains healthy.
"Every 10 years or so, somebody says that books are coming to an end - cinema was going to kill books, then it was TV, then e-books, but it's never happened," he said.
"Because nothing beats sitting down with your mum and dad and listening to your favourite story for the hundredth time."

The Swans are second from bottom and five points from safety in the Premier League after losing 3-1 at Stoke on Monday, Bradley's third game in charge.
The defeat was Swansea's ninth match without a win, their worst run since promotion to the top flight in 2011.
"It's a test of everybody's character and determination every single day," said the former United States coach.
"Let's face it, that's where we are. When things are going in the wrong direction, it takes a real strong effort from everybody to turn it around.
"When a team has gone through a bad stretch, there's no magic way of getting some confidence back.
"It's a huge job we have. I knew that from the start. Let's be honest, when there's a managerial change, it's because things have not gone well."
The defeat at Stoke was Bradley's second in three matches since his appointment on 3 October, following a 3-2 loss at Arsenal and a goalless draw at home against Watford.
Swansea's last Premier League win was away at Burnley on the opening day of the season, and the slump which followed led to the sacking of Bradley's predecessor Francesco Guidolin.
Performances have improved sporadically during the campaign but the Swans were outplayed by Stoke, who claimed a third successive league victory.
Former Swans striker Wilfried Bony scored his first goal for Stoke before Wayne Routledge headed the visitors level in a frenetic first half.

The volume of Stoke chances eventually told as visiting defender Alfie Mawson turned Ramadan Sobhi's shot into his own net, and Bony then nodded in a third after Joe Allen's shot was saved.
"In the Premier League, there's no free points. To win games you need a combination of your football and your mentality, and I don't think we were good enough in either category," Bradley added.
"We were a little fortunate to go in level at half-time, but then we talked about needing belief and needing to raise our level.
"We said we had to be able to match them physically better than we had in the first half, but I think that was a factor in the game.
"We also made mistakes. There are a lot of things we need to work on."
The 24-year-old moves to Spurs for an undisclosed fee from the Clarets, who he joined in 2012.
The former Manchester City trainee made 185 appearances for Burnley, and started every Premier League game last season.
"When I first heard that the club was interested I didn't have to think twice," Trippier said.
"It's such a big club and now I just can't wait to get started and show everyone what I can do."
Trippier becomes Mauricio Pochettino's second signing of the summer after Spurs signed Cologne defender Kevin Wimmer for an undisclosed fee on a five-year deal.
Trippier added: "I'll take every opportunity I get with both hands and hopefully play my part for everyone at the club.
"Whenever I get a chance, I want to do well for the other players, the staff and, of course, the fans."
Trippier did not make a first-team appearance for Manchester City, and had a loan spell at Barnsley before moving to Turf Moor, initially on loan.
The Unplugged series saw pop stars perform stripped-down acoustic versions of their songs in front of a live audience.
It was particularly popular in the 1990s but was wound down in 2009,
Now, MTV plans to bring it back from 8 September - with Shawn Mendes the first singer to appear in the reboot.
Previous artists to do Unplugged sets include Nirvana, Jay-Z, Lauryn Hill, Adele, Mariah Carey and Katy Perry.
"At MTV, the brand equity is still so strong," MTV's Armani Duncan, told Variety. "It gives an opportunity to bring back nostalgia and also recruit an entirely new consumer who may not know what Unplugged was because they weren't born."
Mendes, who will record his set in Los Angeles, said he was drawn to the Unplugged brand after watching a clip from Pearl Jam's 1992 show.
"It wasn't so much about the commercial, showman side of it - it was really about the music," he said.
The revival comes after MTV announced it would bring back TRL (Total Request Live).
TRL, a video countdown series that was hosted by Carson Daly in the early noughties, will return on 2 October - nearly a decade after the show's original run ended.
Viacom is having a hard time of it.
The American entertainment giant is under huge pressure on both ratings and advertising at its big brands, such as MTV and Comedy Central. The reason is simple. Viewers - and therefore advertisers - are flocking online, and away from conventional television.
The television industry has long been built on appointment-to-view - or, as it is better known, scheduling. This is the idea that at a specific time, on a specific day, on a specific channel, audiences will get a specific product, which is a TV show.
The internet and smartphone technology have waved goodbye to all that. A younger generation wants to watch what they want, where they want, when they want.
But this has an ironic consequence. Faced with these existential challenges, many television networks are responding by doubling down on the idea of scheduling.
Put simply, when you're losing advertising revenue, and possibly viewers, one response is to try even harder - and spend even more - on trying to get whatever audiences might be out there for scheduled shows to tune in.
That's partly why Channel 4 has spent big bucks on Bake Off.
And it's partly why MTV is going back to the future with the return of Total Request Live and Unplugged. These old and indeed legendary formats launched many careers and created television gold. MTV - and Viacom - will be hoping they can revive some of the old magic and arrest decline.
It might lack imagination, and it might smack of desperation - but then again, it just might work.

So, what's going on?
Well, the Met Office - the weather and climate centre in charge of forecasts - says this is because the country has been hit by a series of storms, one after another.
The storms have been brought into the UK by the jet stream.
The jet stream is made up of of ribbons of very strong winds which move weather systems around the globe.
Jet streams are found between 9 kilometres and 16 km above the surface of the Earth, and can reach speeds of 200 miles per hour.
The UK's weather is pretty much ruled by the jet stream. It is driven by temperature differences between cold air to the north and warm air to the south.
This winter the difference between the hot and the cold temperatures has been pretty big, and this has made it really strong with lots of changes in it.
When changes happen inside the jet stream this can lead to storms; the faster the jet stream, the bigger the changes, and that results in a whole band of storms hitting the UK one after the other.
The storms started in early December with high winds and tidal surges in the north of England and Scotland. Scotland's rail network shut down, 100,000 homes were left without power and there was travel chaos.
Over the Christmas holidays it got much worse for more areas of the country. The downpours and high winds caused widespread flooding across southern England, including Dorset, Hampshire, Surrey and Kent. Around 50,000 homes had power cuts.
This continued throughout December and parts of Wales was hit too - the River Nith burst its banks, followed by the River Severn in Gloucestershire and sections of the River Thames. By this point the Somerset Levels were underwater too.
Throughout January steady rainfall and high tides have lead to more flooding in some areas because the ground is saturated and rivers are already overflowing.
In February, the two longest rivers in the UK - the Severn and the Thames burst their banks in other areas too.
The Met Office says December was arguably the stormiest month since January 1993, and parts of England have had their wettest January in 250 years!
The Environment Agency say that if the weather carries on like it has been, it could be the wettest winter in 250 years.
Jacob Cope, forecaster at the BBC Weather Centre, says the winter storms haven't been any stronger than others in recent years - but it seems worse because we have had several big ones in a short space of time.
Unfortunately forecasters say there's another storm on its way.
They say parts of the UK could get gusts of wind of up to 80 mph from Wednesday along with heavy downpours straight through to the weekend.
There's likely to be snow on higher ground too, like in the Pennines, and across the midlands.
The American actress will play soul singer Effie White in the musical inspired by the rise of 1960s R&B acts such as The Supremes.
Riley, who played Mercedes Jones in the TV comedy drama Glee, said that making her West End debut was "a dream realised".
The show begins previews at the Savoy Theatre in November.
It will be directed and choreographed by Casey Nicholaw, who also directed The Book of Mormon, and is being brought to the UK for the first time by Sonia Friedman Productions.
Dreamgirls tells the story of a female trio, from Chicago, Illinois, called The Dreams and features the original songs And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going and I Am Changing.
Riley said: "I am so honoured and excited to not only be playing such an iconic role, but also to be working with Sonia Friedman and Casey Nicholaw. Working on the West End is now a dream realised, I just feel like this is going to be something special."
Riley's numerous theatre credits include Alice in Wonderland, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Into the Woods and Mystery on the Docks with the Los Angeles Opera. She won Dancing with the Stars in 2013.
Friedman said: "Having met Amber and having had the privilege of hearing her sing two of the iconic songs from Dreamgirls... I was left with goosebumps, tingles and tears; I was completely knocked out by this talented performer. London is very lucky to be the first to see her Effie."
Originally a Broadway production in 1981, which won six Tony Awards, Dreamgirls was adapted into the 2006 Oscar winning film starring Beyonce Knowles, Jennifer Hudson (who played Effie White), Eddie Murphy and Jamie Foxx.
It comes after MSPs heard claims that the military was targeting pupils from deprived areas for recruitment.
Religious group Quakers in Scotland and military recruitment watchdog Forces Watch raised the issue with the Public Petitions Committee.
Their submission said the MoD had asked Education Scotland for school deprivation data last year.
It followed an earlier attempt to obtain a database of sensitive student information for England in order to better target Army recruitment, the submission said.
It added: "In 2013 the Army stated that its schools careers advice 'is often more tailored and directed to those at risk of disengaging with education or work or those who struggle academically'."
Quakers in Scotland and Forces Watch are seeking guidance on how school visits should be conducted to ensure "political balance and offer a realistic representation of the role of the armed forces and what a career in the armed forces involves".
They are also calling for public monitoring of the number and location of visits, the purpose and content of visits and comparison with the number of visits by other employers.
Parents and guardians should also be consulted as to whether they are happy for their child to take part in armed forces' activities at school, they said.
Committee convener Johann Lamont said MSPs should ask children's commissioner Tam Baillie for his views, as well as the Army, the Scottish government, councils, the Scottish Youth Parliament and Skills Development Scotland.
Ms Lamont said: "I can see in some localities with a strong connection to the army individual schools might be very keen on this but in other areas there is less of a connection.
"There is a dilemma between particular communities being targeted, but also recognising that some young people can potentially get good employment outcomes from making an active choice to go into the armed forces.
"We need to get a sense of what that looks like, what the safeguards are and the extent to which it is not being targeted at particular communities."
Noah Serra-Morrison died as a result of a skull fracture at his home in Crawley Road, Luton in November.
Luton Crown Court found Hardeep Hunjan, 27, guilty of murder and of causing or allowing the death of a child.
Noah's mother Ronnie Tayler-Morrison, 22, was found guilty of causing or allowing the death of a child, and of cruelty but was acquitted of murder.

The jury was told Noah died after sustaining a six inch (15cm) head injury, believed to have been caused by being slammed against a hard surface such as a wall or floor.
He had also suffered multiple limb fractures consistent with being twisted or swung.
Medical experts said the boy's injuries were similar to those found in people involved in a car crash or who who had fallen from a building.
The court heard the couple had binged on drink and drug's during Noah's last hours and blamed each other for his death.
The jury learned that the pair delayed calling paramedics for an hour as they tried to cover up the crime - claiming the child had fallen from his cot.
But a post-mortem examination revealed his injuries were inconsistent with such a fall.
Hunjan and Tayler-Morrison repeatedly lied to police during interviews and fled to Scotland after being released on bail.
Noah was confirmed dead at 04:10 at Luton and Dunstable Hospital.
Det Insp Fraser Wylie said: "Rarely do we come across a case that involves such sheer malice and utter cruelty against a small child, by two people who were supposed to love and care for him."
The pair will be sentenced on Friday.
28 and 29 August 2015 (Tayler-Morrison):
"So he got rude and I left him and bought [sic] Noah home. He turned up at my door, strangled me, threw me around, smacked a bottle on my head, broke the fish tank....Why can't God show him somehow that I haven't done any wrong to him. I love him why can't he see.
3 September (Tayler- Morrison):
He put his hands on me again. I can't accept this...
Followed by an entry believed to be by Hunjan:
You think I haven't had enough? After the way I have been with you and forgiven you and...bite my tongue for you. I suffer anger issues, sorry I have put my hands on you its not me I act out of character. You know what I'm really like right?... I moulded you into a woman. Your [sic] not a little girl anymore. Stick by me, love you Hx
18 September (Tayler-Morrison):
... I don't see life without him (and i know this sounds selfish but as much as I love Noah I feel like I love H more....
10 November, 10 days before Noah's death (Tayler Morrison):
I don't care what has happened all I no [sic] is that I still want him. Why am I so crazy about him... All I feel right now is ugly, wasted away, unwanted and unneeded. He said it himself, this is why I don't get along with anyone, furthermore this is why no1 wants to get along with me, and I bet it's the same with him. Just like the few close people I've had. One day he will leave me to [sic].
Arlene Foster and Martin McGuinness wrote to Theresa May in August on their priorities for the UK's Brexit talks.
Mrs May's letter was obtained by the BBC's Nolan Show on Tuesday, prompting criticism it was not released in time for Stormont's Brexit debate on Monday.
Mrs Foster said she received the letter on Monday.
"It was released to the [assembly's] library at the same time as it was released to the media," she said.
"It's quite a significant response in so far as the prime minster has responded to all of the issues we raised with her."
In the letter, Mrs May restated the position that the government wants to see the maintenance of the Common Travel Area (CTA).
The CTA allows free movement of British and Irish citizens between the two islands.
In their letter to Theresa May, the first and deputy first ministers identified five key areas of concern regarding Brexit.
They were the border, trading costs, the energy market, drawdown of EU funding and treatment of the agri-food sector.
The first and deputy first ministers said Northern Ireland was unique as the only part of the UK that has a border with an EU member state.
The border must not become a catalyst for illegal activity or create an incentive for those who wish to undermine the peace process, they added.
In her letter, Mrs May says the future of the border is "an important priority for the UK as a whole."
She also says she recognises the "unique issues" raised by the Single Electricity Market and that resolving these will be a priority.
However some of the specifics of the Foster-McGuinness letter are not addressed.
For example, it stated that Northern Ireland businesses need to be able to retain access to "unskilled as well as highly skilled" migrant workers.
It also stated the need to "retain as far as possible, the ease with which we currently trade with EU member states."
Those issues of migration and market access will be key to the UK's Brexit negotiation with the EU and are not mentioned in Mrs May's letter.
While the UK as a whole voted to leave the European Union by 52% to 48%, 56% of people in Northern Ireland voted to remain.
In response to the Prime Minister's letter, Alliance MLA, Stephen Farry, said: "More concrete assurances are needed from the PM around Northern Ireland's status in the wake of any Brexit.
"This letter is just words, which do little to address the specific issues raised by the First Minister and Deputy First Minister."
The TUV leader Jim Allister said: "Not surprisingly, the letter from the Prime Minister to the joint First Ministers says nothing.
"Hence, perhaps, the reason why it had to be prised out of them and was not revealed for yesterday's debate."

Instead, the English Football Association came under fire for flouting bid rules.
Less than four hours later, it was all change when the Fifa report was criticised by the man who spent two years investigating claims of corruption on behalf of football's world governing body.
What is the background to this story, who is to blame for the controversy and what will happen now?

Michael Garcia was appointed as Fifa's independent ethics investigator as it sought to recover from a string of scandals.
Just weeks before Garcia was handed the job in 2011, Sepp Blatter stood on stage in Zurich at a news conference and asked "crisis, what is a crisis?" as the fallout from his coronation as Fifa president continued.
A package of reforms designed to restore trust and introduce 21st-Century corporate governance to Fifa was soon announced.
The ethics committee would be split into two - an investigation unit, headed by Garcia, complemented by an adjudicatory unit, with German judge Hans-Joachim Eckert in charge.
Following claims of corruption and collusion in the bid process Garcia began to investigate all nine bids and the 11 nations involved in the 2018 and 2022 bids.
He travelled the world speaking to individuals connected to the bids, appealed for witnesses to come forward and for those with evidence to get in touch.
He delivered a 430-page report in September this year.
Eckert reviewed the contents and delivered a 42-page summary of his findings on Thursday.
The problem? Garcia now says the report is "materially incomplete" with "erroneous representations of the facts and conclusions".
Garcia, an outsider to the world of football who had never watched a senior level game before being appointed by Fifa, has for weeks demanded that as much of his report as possible should be made public.
Eckert disagreed, insisting on confidentiality.
Fifa eventually responded, saying Eckert would deliver a thorough review of the investigation.
The basis for that disagreement is perhaps rooted in the fact the men come from very different legal traditions, the US with its use of common law and Germany with its civil law roots. Reaching a consensus has, it is said by Fifa insiders, been tough at times.
But for Garcia to now allege he has been fundamentally misrepresented is a wholly different proposition and puts a serious dent in the credibility of both Fifa and the report.
It could change everything; it could change absolutely nothing.
Such is the secrecy with which Fifa operates, especially on judicial matters, it may be some time before we discover exactly what Garcia has such an issue with.
Fifa hoped the report would provide "closure". Instead, it has simply dirtied the waters more than anyone thought possible.
Garcia says he will appeal to Fifa's Appeal Committee, but we are in uncharted waters here and where this will eventually lead is anyone's guess.

This is a story that involves national governments, global politics, money, pride, prestige and the most celebrated football tournament on the planet.
And then there are the reports of an FBI inquiry that has seen former Fifa executive Chuck Blazer turn informant.
The New York Daily News says Blazer used a hidden microphone in a key ring to record a series of conversations with leading officials on a visit to London in the summer of 2012.
The Serious Fraud Office in the UK has been asked to consider if it has jurisdiction to investigate.
What started out as 11 countries wanting to host a football tournament is now potentially in the realms of law enforcement, wire taps, lawyers and disputed investigations.
This is about as far from "closure" as Fifa could ever have imagined.
The Northumberland Hen Harrier Protection Partnership (NHHPP) said three of five nesting pairs in the county produced young this year.
The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) says the iconic species is under "severe threat".
The NHHPP said the news was a "positive step" in efforts to re-establish them.
Illegal killings, along with destruction of their habitat, are behind the collapse of their population in England. Numbers fell from 12 pairs in 2010 to four in 2016.
Numbers of pairs in Scotland fell from 505 to 460 over the period, while in Wales they declined from 57 to 35 breeding pairs.
In Northern Ireland, pairs fell from 59 recorded in 2010 to 46 in 2016.
The NHHPP said the Northumberland figures showed the county was bucking the trend.
Chairman Andrew Miller said: "Hen harriers are still facing an uphill battle to re-establish themselves in the uplands of England.
"However with the positive support of all our partners including key landowners, 10 young birds have successfully fledged.
"Working together and using the latest scientific techniques is also increasing our knowledge of this amazing species.
"We will continue to monitor our birds throughout the year and hope that this year's youngsters will stay safe and be as successful as Finn"
Mike Pratt, chief executive of Northumberland Wildlife Trust, said "The news that several pairs of hen harriers nested and bred successfully, raising 10 young, in the uplands of Northumberland is very encouraging and speaks loudly of the partnership between conservationists locally in protecting the birds."
Historically, hen harriers were once much more widespread before being driven to extinction in mainland Britain during the 19th Century.
Despite a subsequent comeback, the species has remained rare in the UK, with a breeding population under 1,000 pairs.
The Treasury said that the "extensive" review would make sure that shoppers got the discounts they are entitled to.
Tax-free shops should not charge VAT, if passengers are going outside the EU.
In August it was revealed that some airside retailers were not always passing VAT savings on to customers, but were keeping the money instead.
The Treasury said some shops were keeping as much as half the money they should be giving to consumers.
"VAT relief at airports is intended to cut prices for those travellers - not be a windfall gain for shops," said Chancellor George Osborne.
"But many people could be paying over the odds for their purchases because the government's VAT concession isn't passed on. This is simply unacceptable," he said.
At the moment airport retailers are not legally obliged to provide a VAT discount, so it would need a change in the law to make them do so.
Some retailers have claimed it would be too difficult to introduce dual-pricing for EU and non-EU travellers - and that such a requirement would lead to delays for passengers.
WH Smith, one of the shops originally criticised, said it would co-operate with the inquiry.
Boots, which also came in for criticism, has already announced a review of its own policy.
"Since taking our decision in August 2015 to no longer ask customers to show us their boarding passes we have been continuing with our strategic review and, working together with the Airport Authorities, we are nearing conclusion," the retailer said.
"We will participate with the government review as we receive further details," it added.
Who is entitled to VAT savings?
Anyone travelling outside the 28 countries of the European Union (EU). Travellers within the EU or the UK have to pay existing rates of duty and VAT.
Do you have to show a boarding pass?
If you are buying cigarettes or alcohol in a duty free shop, you are legally obliged to show your boarding pass, to prove you are travelling outside the EU. If you are buying other goods - say books, snacks or cosmetics - you are still obliged to show your pass if these are being sold in a duty free shop. You are not if these goods are from a general retailer such as Boots or WH Smith.

Goods which normally carry VAT at 20%, like bottles of water, or sunscreen, should carry a significant price reduction.
A bottle of sunscreen, which normally retails at £6, should cost £5 once the VAT is deducted.
Other items, such as books and newspapers do not carry VAT in the first place.
HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) will carry out the review, and is expected to report back early in 2016.
It will also examine the separate issue of airport excise duty.
Duty-free shops which sell alcohol and tobacco operate under different rules to tax-free shops.
Chuanfang Zheng, 31, was looking after Phoebe Guo at a home in Lutterworth, Leicestershire on 22 March 2015.
Phoebe suffered a "catastrophic injury" caused by "excessive force", jurors at Leicester Crown Court were told.
Ms Zheng, of Mortlock Close, Southwark, London, denies one charge of manslaughter.
The court heard Phoebe was "in good health and acting normally" when she was left with Ms Zheng.
Within half an hour, prosecutors said, the baby had suffered "significant bleeding" on the brain and behind the eye and had lapsed into unconsciousness.
With the baby in her arms, Ms Zheng ran to a Chinese takeaway next door, on Linden Drive, where the baby's parents worked.
Phoebe was then rushed by car to hospital.
There were '"extensive" medical efforts to save her, but the baby died four days later from her severe injuries having never regained consciousness, the court heard.
Adrian Langdale, prosecuting, said it would never be possible to establish exactly what happened behind closed doors that evening.
"Chuanfang Zheng must have caused significant abusive head trauma described historically as 'shaken baby' and described by an expert as being 'very much at the severe end of the range'," he said.
"It would have been immediately apparent to Chuanfang Zheng what she had done."
The jury was told Ms Zheng made a concerted effort to lie about the events leading up to the incident and had tried to cover up her actions.
Ms Zheng tried to blame the mother's efforts to resuscitate the baby for causing the serious injuries.
The trial, listed for three weeks, continues.
The company, FinTrU, works with investment banks and other financial institutions.
One hundred of the new jobs are described as graduate roles.
FinTrU said the positions will pay a combined £4.2m in salaries and the posts will be created over the next five years.
Invest NI, which is offering more than £1m in grants, said the move "underlines the confidence in Northern Ireland as an investment location".
The company's Belfast operation, based at the Gasworks site in the city centre, opened in 2014.
Darragh McCarthy, FinTrU's chief executive, said: "The supply of talent in Northern Ireland, particularly at graduate level, is impressive.
"It makes this region a highly attractive location to grow our company."
Once completed, the expansion will bring the size of FinTrU's Northern Ireland workforce to around 250.
The company has its headquarters in London.
The Education Authority (EA) had proposed that children receive 2.5 hours a day in schools that offer pre-school provision rather than 4.5 hours.
The plans were due to come into effect from September 2016.
The review was requested by Education Minister John O'Dowd who described the decision as "flawed".
Officials from the EA appeared before Stormont's Education Committee on Wednesday.
Dr Claire Mangan said that the review would be completed within a short period of time.
"Obviously, until the EA board has the information that they will require, we are not moving forward with part-time," she said.
UUP MLA Sandra Overend said she could not understand how the minister did not know of the proposed cuts.
"Do you know how he didn't know?" she asked Dr Mangan.
"I can't answer that," Dr Mangan replied.
The EA's proposed cut in hours would have affected 29 special schools in Northern Ireland.
The EA had said that the move was "designed to increase the opportunity for children to access special schools places".
Gen Enitan Ransome-Kuti was convicted of failing in his duties when Islamist militants attacked the north-eastern town of Baga in January.
Scores of civilians were killed when Boko Haram overran the town and seized large quantities of weapons.
The general's lawyer told the BBC that he will appeal against the decision.
A separate accusation of cowardice was dropped.
The general comes from a celebrated Nigerian family. His uncle was the late Afrobreat legend Fela Kuti.
The exact number of those killed in the Baga attack remains unknown, but claims vary from the government's official figure of 150 to up to 2,000 reported by locals.
Gen Ransome-Kuti was also dismissed from the Nigerian armed forces as part of the court martial.
He was found guilty for "loss of equipment" in the attack on the headquarters of Nigeria's regional task force against Boko Haram.
"Boko Haram outnumbered his men. They had more superior weapons than the unserviceable equipment of the Nigerian Army," his lawyer Femi Falana told AFP news agency.
According to Nigerian media, among the military hardware lost in the attack were several armoured personnel carriers, 12 Toyota pick-up trucks, three rocket-propelled grenade launchers, more than a dozen machine guns, and a large quantity of ammunition.
Analysis: Jimmy Saleh, BBC Hausa Service
The military court in the capital Abuja said Brigadier Gen Ransome-Kuti was right to have asked his troops to retreat in the face of overwhelming firepower, but he should have called for reinforcements and launched a counter-attack to reclaim the town.
Hundreds of people were massacred by Boko Haram in Baga in January 2015 when Gen Ransome-Kuti and his men ran away from the town.
This was one of the biggest defeats suffered by the Nigerian army at the hands of Boko Haram, given the number of people killed and the high-calibre weapons gained by the insurgents.
The militants also detained many women in Baga whom they used as sex slaves.
The army's reputation has been affected by a series of mutinies by troops who on several occasions abandoned their weapons and fled the insurgents.
Today's sentence is intended to help restore discipline, which many think has been lacking within the ranks of the troops.
Some of the troops complained they were not being given the equipment needed to fight Boko Haram but more weapons have now been supplied.
Islamic State ties broaden Boko Haram threat
Who are Boko Haram?
According to Amnesty International, at least 17,000 people, mostly civilians, have been killed since 2009, when Boko Haram launched its violent uprising to try to impose militant Islamist rule.
With the help of regional armies, the Nigerian military has this year retaken most areas Boko Haram had captured.

Body parts were found in a garden shed several days after she disappeared from her family home in Crown Hill, Bristol.
Nathan Matthews, 28, and Shauna Hoare, 21, deny murder. It is alleged Mr Matthews directed police to her body.
Bristol Crown Court heard the pair held "a shared unnatural interest in attractive teenage females".
In a statement given to police, Mr Matthews admitted killing Becky and storing her body parts at 9 Barton Court, the trial heard.
He said he had strangled the teenager after trying to kidnap her.
Prosecutor William Mousley QC told the jury Mr Matthews had an "apparent dislike of Becky" and said he wanted to scare her and teach her a lesson.
Mr Matthews denies charges of murder and conspiracy to kidnap.
Miss Hoare denies murder, conspiracy to kidnap, perverting the course of justice, preventing a lawful burial and possessing a prohibited weapon, namely two stun guns.
The court heard Becky was alone at her Crown Hill home where she lived with her father Darren Galsworthy and stepmother Anjie - Mr Matthews' mother - on 19 February, when the accused arrived just after 10:50 GMT.
On their way they stopped at a Tesco supermarket to buy batteries for stun guns, the jury was told.
"She was suffocated, despite her fighting for her life. There followed a deliberate, carefully planned and grotesquely executed plan to cover up her killing," Mr Mousley said.
Her body was placed in the boot of the couple's car and they remained inside the house for much of the rest of the day, during which time other family members arrived, the trial heard.
Sometime after 18:00 they left Crown Hill for their home in Cotton Mill Lane, Bristol, where they ordered takeaway food.
"All apparently normal behaviour, other than the fact that they had a dead body on their hands," said Mr Mousley.
Becky was reported missing the following day. After a huge police search, her body parts were discovered in a garden shed at a house in Barton Hill, Bristol, on 2 March.
She had 15 stab wounds to the abdomen and a further slash wound which were caused after death, the prosecutor stated.
Various injuries "were consistent with a hand being held over the mouth, causing suffocation" and also suggested "a violent struggle".
Mr Mousley told the jury the day after Becky's death Mr Matthews bought bottles of drain cleaner and a circular power saw, gloves, a face mask and goggles.
"When he was there buying the saw he queried the price he was being charged for it as it didn't correspond with the price on the display," he said.
"He made it plain that he needed that saw and he needed to have it that day."
The jury was given a graphic description of the moment when police went to the shed in Barton Hill and found several suitcases, a bin bag and a blue plastic box containing body parts wrapped in plastic.
Other items found included handcuffs, a knife, scissors, some clothing and layers of cling film.
CCTV footage was played which the prosecution alleged showed Becky's body being moved from the couple's home to an address 80 metres away.
Another couple, who stored the dismembered body in their shed, have pleaded guilty to assisting an offender, it can be reported for the first time.
Karl Demetrius, 29, and his girlfriend, Jaydene Parsons, 23, admitted the charge at an earlier hearing at Bristol Crown Court.
However, they told the court they "did not know or believe" the bags contained Becky's body.
Donovan Demetrius, 29 - Karl's twin brother - and James Ireland, 23, are also charged with assisting an offender.
The trial, which is expected to last six weeks, continues.
Malcolm Wright, 56, was discovered at a house on Peter Buchan Drive on 26 January.
He was taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary where he was treated for serious injuries, but died on Wednesday evening.
Gary Crossan, 30, of Peterhead, has been charged with assault and attempted murder in connection with the incident.
Following Mr Wright's death, his family said: "As a family we are devastated by the loss of Malcolm, a much-loved father, brother, son and friend to many. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him.
"We would ask that our privacy is respected at this sad and very difficult time."
Police Scotland said the death was a "contained and isolated incident" with no threat to the wider community.
Det Insp Stewart Drummond added: "Our thoughts are obviously with Mr Wright's family and friends at this very sad and difficult time.
"A report has been sent to the procurator fiscal, however I would still appeal for anyone who was in the Peter Buchan Drive area or surrounding streets during Wednesday evening or the early hours of Thursday morning to come forward if they think they have information which could help.
"Please contact Police on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111 if you would prefer to remain anonymous."
Behind the huge chess pieces traders flog bargains in a part of London that's seen a corrupt leader, Lutfur Rahman, face checkmate.
Mr Rahman was banned by an election court in April from standing again in Tower Hamlets after being found guilty of illegal practices in last year's mayoral election.
On a stall selling cleaning products Mohammed Hussein, a market trader from Bangladesh who has lived in Poplar for 12 years, believes it is time for a clean slate.
"We need to improve our image and what happened about Mayor Lutfur Rahman everybody should forget about this and everybody should work for the community to have a better future."
This week another "king" or "queen" will be manoeuvred into the winning spot when the people of Tower Hamlets vote for a new executive mayor to replace Mr Rahman - but who could lead that future?
The frontrunners of 10 candidates hoping to decide that future are Labour's John Biggs and the council's Cabinet member for housing, independent candidate, Rabina Khan.
Ms Khan used to be a member of Lutfur Rahman's Tower Hamlets First party - which is no longer recognised by the Electoral Commission - and she has been endorsed by him.
But as I meet her in Stepney Green she tells me: "I am standing as an independent candidate. And I hope that people understand that I am my own woman.
"I'm not saying vote for me because I'm a Muslim. I'm [saying] this is my vision. I'm a working mum. I live in the borough… I really do understand the huge problems that the people of this borough face. Everybody has the need to ensure they live a quality life and I think that's what counts," she said.
Labour's John Biggs is a London Assembly member and former council leader in Tower Hamlets.
He was falsely accused by Lutfur Rahman of racism when he stood against him last year, but Mr Biggs has been supported by London Labour MPs including Streatham's Chuka Umunna and Bengali MPs Rushanara Ali and Tulip Siddiq.
When I meet him in Bow Church he tells me: "The first thing we need to do is redeem the reputation of Tower Hamlets, because it's been in the newspapers and the media for the wrong reasons.
"The strength in our diversity is about people working together and not being separate."
He adds there are social issues the future mayor will need to address: "We have a housing crisis. People are being driven out by house prices…We have high levels of unemployment in bits of our communities so we need to look at the question of skills."
In Poplar one only need look up from the £8 dresses and £2 flip flops on sale in the market to see the vast disparity of wealth.
Canary Wharf and its multi-million pound businesses tower above me as I walk towards a housing estate in a borough with the highest level of child poverty in the country and where life expectancy is the lowest in all of London.
At a community centre I find a group of Muslim women who are learning English. Their teacher is Fatima, a 42-year-old mother of four who was born and brought up in London. Her father came to the East End from Bangladesh and her mother is from Trinidad.
Fatima tells me Bangladeshi and Bengali people care about the same things English families care about, like the cost of housing and their children's education.
She says many of the women she works with want to learn English so they can mix with people from other backgrounds: "They're trying. They want to socialise, but there are barriers there that are preventing them from doing so like language and the way that housing and schools are set up."
One of her students, Elizabeth Khatun, agrees. She is in her 50s and arrived from Bangladesh 15 years ago.
As she shares a joke with her classmate Zeena from Tunisia, Elizabeth tells me: "This country is friendly. All people are friends. English, Bengali, Somali, Turkish, Pakistani, Spanish, all people."
Finding a strategy to bring people closer will be one of the challenges for the last candidate left standing after Thursday's election.
The full list of candidates:
The bank said a net 92 full-time staff would be affected, while 154 contractor roles will be lost later this year.
It is understood that most of the posts are technology-related and are based in London.
RBS said it was reducing the size of its back-office support as it moved towards becoming "a simpler, smaller UK-focused bank".
The union Unite claimed that as many as 334 jobs were being cut and that more roles were being transferred to India.
Some 88 roles are to be created, meaning net job losses of 246. An additional 38 new roles will be created in India.
National officer Rob MacGregor said: "Unite cannot understand how RBS, which continues to be taxpayer backed, can justify hundreds more staff cuts and continue transferring important work out of the country.
"It is wholly inappropriate and unjustified for these technology roles to be sent offshore."
RBS declined to comment on Unite's offshore claims but a spokesman said: "As RBS moves towards becoming a simpler, smaller UK-focused bank, we're continuing to restructure our back-office support and reducing its size so it's a better fit for our business.
"Unfortunately, these changes will result in the net reduction of 92 roles.
"We understand this will be difficult news for staff and we will be offering support to those affected, including redeploying people in to other roles where we can."
In February, chief executive Ross McEwan ordered a £2bn four-year cost-cutting drive involving job losses and branch closures.
Last month the bank, which is 72%-owned by the UK government, posted its first quarterly profit since Sept 2015.
RBS said then that its cost-cutting plan for 2017 was ahead of schedule, with 37% of the planned £750m of cuts achieved.
The officer died in April 1984 after shots were fired from the Libyan Embassy in London at a protest outside.
A man in his 50s, arrested in November 2015, was released on Tuesday due to "insufficient admissible evidence", Scotland Yard said.
PC Fletcher's family said they were "deeply disappointed and frustrated".
The Met said its investigation had identified enough material to identify those responsible for Fletcher's murder if it could be presented to a court.
"However the key material has not been made available for use in court in evidential form for reasons of national security," a spokesman said.
"Therefore, without this material and following a review of all the evidence that was available to prosecutors, the Crown Prosecution Service - who we worked closely with throughout - have informed us that there is insufficient admissible evidence to charge the man."
PC Fletcher, 25, had been policing a small demonstration outside the Libyan People's Bureau in St James's Square against the regime of Col Muammar Gaddafi.
She was one of 30 unarmed police officers at the scene when shots were fired from the first floor of the diplomatic mission.
In a statement, her family said they were satisfied the Met had "left no stone unturned" in its pursuit of justice but said they had "hoped for some closure".
"We are deeply disappointed and frustrated that a prosecution cannot proceed at this time. We had hoped that the latest turn of events would finally lead to some closure," it added.
The Met said the investigation would never be closed but added the likelihood of finding further evidence, in Libya or elsewhere, was low.
Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley said: "I regret that we have not been able to deliver the justice that the victims and their families deserve.
"Our thoughts today are with PC Fletcher's family and all those affected by the events of that day in 1984."
Tries from Harvey Livett, Daryl Clark and Kurt Gidley gave Wire a slender 16-12 half-time lead.
Danny Brough then converted his own try, adding a penalty, as the Giants hit back to lead 20-16.
But two late Wire tries turned it round and, although Jermaine McGillvary scored in the corner, Brough could not add the extras from the touchline.
Having started the season with two wins from their first three games, the Giants have not won now in eight games since - and they drop to 11th, while last season's beaten finalists Warrington, who failed to win any of their first seven matches, rise two places to ninth.
Against his old club, Tony Smith's Warrington were ahead inside two minutes, in their first attack, when centre Livett scooped up a wayward Declan Patton pass and stepped inside the Giants cover for his first Super League try.
Fine handling between Brough and Jake Mamo allowed Darnell McIntosh to squeeze over in the corner to level at 4-4, but, having earlier been placed on report for a late challenge on Lee Gaskell, Warrington hooker Clark's try restored the hosts' lead, Patton converting.
Six minutes later the Giants were level again, with a try from Mamo after Kruise Leeming's fine midfield break - and Brough not only landed the conversion but also added a penalty to edge the visitors 12-10 in front.
Warrington finished the half the stronger when Gidley crashed over, Patton converting to extend their half-time lead but that was wiped out seven minutes after the restart when the artful Brough sneaked over from dummy half, to tie it up at 16-16.
Brough added the conversion to edge the Giants back in front with a penalty on the hour mark before two tries in three minutes from Rhys Evans and Toby King, who collected Patton's crossfield kick to score, made it 26-20.
But, in a thrilling climax, King lost possession on his own line and, from the last play of the game McGillvary went over in the corner, only for Brough to just fail from the touchline with his bid to claim a third Huddersfield draw in six matches.
Warrington Wolves coach Tony Smith:
"It was ugly but it was two points. It wasn't the prettiest of games by a long shot but we hung on.
"It's been a while I would suggest since we won both our games over Easter so, because of where we are placed in the table, it was probably important to pick up the two points.
"In terms of performance it was very much a second-game-over-Easter performance from both teams. The big men looked tired today and came up with some stuff they normally don't come up with."
Huddersfield Giants coach Rick Stone:
"It was a toss of the coin sort of kick from the touchline, probably on Danny's right side being a left-footer. He had one in the first half which he struck a fraction left and this one went a bit right - but there's no dramas.
"We are not getting a lot of luck or 50-50 decisions and it tends to happen when you are not winning games.
"You have to make your own luck and be energised and be in a position where hopefully we are going to get the rub of the green because in the last couple of weeks we've not had too much."
Warrington: Ratchford; Evans, T King, Livett, Lineham; Patton, Gidley; Hill, Clark, Sims, Jullien, Hughes, Cooper.
Replacements: Philbin, Dwyer, G King, Savelio.
Huddersfield: Mamo; McGillvary, S Wood, Murphy, McIntosh; Brough, Gaskell; Ikahihifo, Hinchcliffe, Wakeman, Mellor, Roberts, Clough.

It follows September's decision by the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews to end its single-sex policy.
Troon has also announced it will share responsibility for hosting the 2016 Open Championship with the Ladies' Golf Club, Troon, by forming a joint championship committee.
The 2016 Open will be the ninth to be played at the Ayrshire course.
Troon is one of three clubs on the Open Championship rota with a male-only membership policy.
Muirfield is reviewing its membership criteria with a report to be completed by March 2015, while Royal St George's is "considering its position" on the matter.
Troon has always considered itself a special case in this respect as it shares facilities with the ladies' club.
But, in a statement, Troon said it will "undertake a comprehensive review to consider the most appropriate membership policy for the future" and added "the recommendations from this review will be presented to the membership for their consideration".
The UKIP leader showed no sign of rowing back from his comments as he was out campaigning in the Thanet South seat he hopes to win in this election.
It's the first time that Mr Farage has been seen knocking on doors in front of TV cameras since the campaign proper began at the start of the week.
He won some support for his views on foreigners using NHS hospitals when he appeared at a beer festival at Margate winter gardens.
One person who spoke to him told me that he liked UKIP because the leader said the things that other politicians wouldn't say.
As he toured tables at the event and shared in the booze there were numerous requests for selfies.

Thanet South parliamentary constituency - Election 2015 - BBC News
There were some who strongly disagree with his comments about HIV sufferers who come here from abroad. One man told me that he thought Nigel Farage "did racism" well.
There are no signs though that UKIP will change its message come the next TV debate. In fact, framing the issue in that way combines two key issues that are central to the party's strategy - immigrants and the NHS.
Mr Farage also delivered what must be the understatement of his campaign so far when he told one beer drinker that it was "quite important" to UKIP's electoral fortunes that he is elected to Parliament on 7 May.
Much of the focus is on ensuring the leader wins in Thanet South, at his sixth and almost certainly final attempt to become an MP.
He has said he will step down as party leader if he isn't elected, an event that would leave UKIP without its strongest asset.
There was also evidence earlier in the day of the dual attack UKIP is mounting in this election.
I saw him knock on doors in the Cliftonville area of Margate and greet four people - all of them Labour voters. Or at least Labour up until now.
Of the four, three said they were supporting him. They were all pensioners who told me they wanted "a change" from the two parties who have dominated at Westminster for so long.
The fourth voter, younger than the others, asked the most questions and was the least convinced. The dad-of-three was standing in his front garden with a drill in hand when I went over to talk to him.
He told me he liked Mr Farage yet he wasn't going to vote for him. His quandary was that he saw little in Ed Miliband that made him think the Labour leader would make a strong prime minister. | Two men have died following an early morning road accident in Ballycastle, County Antrim.

Stanley Murphy, who is nearly two, has Tay-Sachs disease which means he is unable to move and has seizures.
His parents said they need a specially adapted car to take him out but warned he may not live until the funding threshold of three years old.
The Department of Work and Pensions said it cannot make exceptions.
His parents, from Newton Abbot in Devon, had applied for funding to buy a car capable of carrying a wheelchair under the Disability Living Allowance mobility scheme.
But their bid was rejected because of Stanley being too young to qualify.
Emma Murphy said: "I don't think the people who make these decisions have a clue what life is really like when you have a poorly child.
"Stanley might not live until he is three so to be told that he can't get this help that he needs until he is three is not right.
"There are lots of children who unfortunately have very short lives, then you don't have time on your side.
"You want to make the best out of every day and to get out and about is a massive part of that.
"We want to give him the quality of life he deserves while he is with us."
A spokeswoman for the Department of Work and Pensions said they were "unable to consider entitlement" as the age limit is the law and not a regulation.
She said applications can be made three months before the child's third birthday so that if approved the benefit can be paid on the day of the birthday.

BBC One, which broadcasts the drama, confirmed the episodes will be called The Six Thatchers and The Lying Detective.
Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman will reprise their roles as Sherlock Holmes and Watson respectively.
The fourth series of the BBC's updated take on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's detective will begin in January.
Both actors were seen filming scenes in Cardiff earlier this year.
It has already been announced Toby Jones will play a villain in one of the episodes of the new three-part series.
The Six Thatchers is likely to be based on Sir Arthur's story The Adventure of the Six Napoleans, while the second episode's title is thought to be a reference to The Adventure of the Dying Detective.
Last week, Sherlock was named best made for TV movie for its special episode The Abominable Bride, broadcast on New Year's Day, at the Primetime Emmy Awards.

The IAAF said the 16 had met the "exceptional eligibility criteria" required to compete.
It added it had received more than 150 applications from Russian athletes to compete as neutrals this year and 39 had been approved, while others still remain under review.
Russia's athletics federation remains banned from international competition.
It was suspended by the IAAF in 2015 amid allegations of state-sponsored doping.
IAAF president Sebastian Coe said: "It is important to reiterate that this review process is about ensuring there is a level playing field in which the world's clean athletes have confidence.
"It's a huge task and one which cannot be rushed if we are to ensure the rights and aspirations of clean athletes are protected."
In May, 28 Russian athletes had their requests to compete as neutrals rejected.
The most high-profile name to be cleared is former long jump world champion Aleksandr Menkov, who won gold in 2013.
Discus throwers Viktor Butenko and Iuliia Maltseva, shot putters Aleksandr Lesnoy and Konstantin Lyadusov, and hammer thrower Danil Danilov were all cleared, as were triple jumpers Alexey Fedorov,Viktoria Prokopenko and Irina Gemeniuk and high jumper Irina Gordeeva
Decathlete Ilya Shkurenev, middle distance runner Valentin Smirnov and sprinters Timofey Chalyy, Vyacheslav Kolesnichenko and Alena Mamina can also continue competing.
Walker Olga Eliseeva was cleared to take part at the European Under-20 championships only.
The hosts looked well set at 96-0 in reply to England's 147-7, but openers Dane van Niekerk and Trisha Chetty's slow scoring put pressure on the tail.
Shrubsole removed Van Niekerk, before dismissing Lizelle Lee and Mignon du Preez as the hosts stumbled to 132-6.
Sarah Taylor earlier made 74 not out for England in Paarl.

"Our bowling performance in the last 10 overs was fantastic," Taylor told BBC Sport. "We limited what South Africa could do and were really smart with what we did."
The tourists made a slow start and were stuttering at 41-3 after the cheap dismissals of captain Charlotte Edwards, Tammy Beaumont and Amy Jones.
However, they were boosted by wicketkeeper Taylor's 51-ball effort, in which she struck 11 fours, with Shrubsole arriving to help take 18 from Shabnim Ismail's final over.
Van Niekerk and Chetty made 52 and 46 respectively, but struggled to keep pace with the run rate on a playing area with long boundaries.
Once they were dismissed within four balls of each other, South Africa's middle order found themselves with too much to do.
England play another two Twenty20 internationals against South Africa - in Cape Town on Friday and Johannesburg on Sunday - before travelling to India to prepare for the World Twenty20.

Gary Haggarty appeared at Belfast Crown Court this morning amid heavy security.
The 45-year-old replied "guilty" to the charges put to him.
In addition to five murders, he also admitted five attempted murders, 23 conspiracies to murder and four counts of directing terrorism.
He was given five life sentences for the murders, but these will be significantly reduced as he is an assisting offender under the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act (SOCPA).
All of the killings, and the majority of the other offences, took place while Haggarty was working as a police informer.
Relatives of the five people he admitted killing and their lawyers watched this morning's court hearing via video link from Laganside Courts.
Kieran Fox, the son of one of Haggarty's murder victims, expressed anger at the deal offered to the killer.
Mr Fox said that, considering the seriousness of the offences Haggarty had admitted, he should go to jail and "never see daylight".
The murders he admitted to were:
Haggarty also admitted aiding and abetting the murder of Peter McTasney, a 26-year-old Catholic shot dead in his home in Newtownabbey in February 1991.
The investigation into Haggarty's activities has lasted more than seven years.
It's one of the largest ever conducted by the police service in Northern Ireland.
He's been living at a secret address in England since offering to give evidence against former UVF colleagues he claims were also involved in his crimes.
As a former UVF commander for north Belfast and south east Antrim, he's the most senior loyalist ever to become a supergrass.
Haggarty was interviewed more than 1,100 times at secret locations in England and Wales after offering to become what is now officially called "an assisting offender".
He has also offered to give evidence against a number of former police officers he's accused of collusion while he was working as an informer from 1993 to 2004.
The BBC understands he told his interviewers that some of his Special Branch handlers not only protected him from arrest and prosecution, but also actively encouraged his activities.
Those allegations are the subject of a separate, parallel investigation by the Police Ombudsman.
The public prosecution service is to decide whether to prosecute two retired Special Branch officers based on files sent by the Police Ombudsman.
The police bristle at the very mention of the word supergrass because of its association with a series of high-profile trials in the 1980s.
Hundreds of republicans and loyalists were convicted on the word of informers and suspects who agreed to give evidence in return for reduced sentences and new identities and lives outside of Northern Ireland. These deals were done at a political level, with details kept secret.
Technically they were assisting offenders but became known as "touts" and "supergrasses" in the local community.
The system collapsed in 1985 because of concerns about the credibility of the evidence provided by the supergrasses, with members of the judiciary complaining that they were being used as political tools to implement government security policy.
In 2005 a change in law implemented safeguards for trials of this kind.
Haggarty signed an agreement to become an assisting offender under the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act (SOCPA).
After today's court hearing Haggarty was taken to Maghaberry high security prison, where he will be held in solitary confinement until a decision is made about whether to use him as an assisting offender.
Haggarty has also admitted 304 less serious offences. These will be taken into consideration by the judge when deciding what sentence he will face.
The Public Prosecution Service (PPS) has to decide if it regards him as a "witness of truth".
If it does, he will be back in court in the witness box, not the dock.
Niall Murphy, a solicitor representing some of the victims' families, said: "On 8th September the court will convene again and at that time a direction will be issued from the prosecution service as to their assessment of Mr Haggarty's credibility to be taken forward as an assisting offender and it is on that basis that future prosecutions will be determined."
He said Haggarty is due to be sentenced at the end of September: "At that time a full set of facts will be read out into the court.
"It is only really then that the depth of the detail of his career in the UVF and the supervision offered by Special Branch can be assessed."
The PPS has received files relating to four UVF murders based on information provided by Gary Haggarty, and now must decide whether to use him as a witness.
It is understood that up to 15 loyalists, including a number of senior UVF members, could be charged if they conclude that his evidence is credible and reliable.
Haggarty could also be a witness in cases against former Special Branch officers he said helped, protected and encouraged him.
Det Supt Richard Campbell, from PSNI's Serious Crime Branch, said: "It has been a very long, arduous and painful process for these families.
"I hope today's proceedings have made a significant contribution to the process of ultimately bringing closure to all the families of the victims of Mount Vernon UVF during that time."
Edward Huxley, 70, from Cookham, Berkshire, told Mold Crown Court he was innocent and could not understand why the claims had been made.
The retired civil servant and six other men are charged with sexual abuse dating back to the 1970s and 80s.
The case is part of the Operation Pallial investigation into child abuse.
Mr Huxley told the court he did not go to gay bars in Wrexham and was not part of the gay scene in the town at the time.
He said he did not know any of his six co-defendants until he met them during the trial.
Mr Huxley said he was interested in men aged 25 to 45 and had previously been involved with people older than himself.
He said his current partner is 36 but told the jury he was not interested in anyone under the age of 25.
"Youngsters have never interested me. Neither conversationally or their bodies," he said.
When asked how the main complainant knew him, he said people would have known he was a civil servant and the civil service was based at the barracks in the town.
"I never took him to the barracks, I don't know him, I have never met him. He is a liar in these allegations against me," he told the jury.
The trial continues.
Another morning and another day of trading screens showing a sea of red.
As I write this the FTSE 100 is down 2.6%, the Hang Seng in Hong Kong is down 3.9% and the German Dax is down 3.1%.
Of the 21 major global stock markets, 19 are down on the same period last year.
The great sell off continues.
Why?
It's a mix - part economic fundamentals, part market emotion as herding investors follow each other down a negative spiral, fearful of being left beached as the tide goes out, and part brute market forces, the major trading houses looking to make a profitable turn on share prices which they bet are not going up any time soon.
First, let's look at the economic fundamentals.
There are three major economic blocks that markets watch for signs of turbulence - the engines of global growth.
They are America, China and the European Union, or more specifically the eurozone group of economies.
Each of these vital engines has some worrying rattles.
On Wednesday, Janet Yellen, the chairwoman of the Federal Reserve, America's central bank, said that the global economy was "less supportive" of US growth.
The American economy itself is in relatively robust health.
But Ms Yellen's warning has added to the general feeling that 2016 will be a year dominated by market bears - the march of the sellers not the buyers.
In China, economic concerns have been spiced by increasing market and currency volatility.
As the Chinese markets plunged, the central authorities first intervened.
And then withdrew.
This was overlaid by currency confusion.
Beijing appeared at first to want the renminbi's value to fall - stoking western business fears of a flood of cheaper Chinese exports - and then spent billions of dollars of its own admittedly capacious foreign reserves shoring it up.
Finally the eurozone, a group of countries not totally out of the financial crisis sick ward.
Industrial production in the three major economies - Germany, Italy and France - is down.
The European Central Bank governor, Mario Draghi, has introduced negative interest rates in an attempt to encourage businesses and banks to invest rather than store money away.
But, as the Japanese central bank has found, the introduction of negative interest rates raises the question - what are central bankers so worried about they are writing new chapters of the Alice in Wonderland economic playbook many believe the world is now following.
First, trillions of pounds of monetary stimulus. Now, negative interest rates. Can central banks really be relied on support the global economy for the foreseeable future?
The markets are experiencing a major correction.
After the 2012 eurozone crisis - when markets fell into a doom loop of concern that the whole European project could break apart - exuberance returned when the nightmare failed to materialise.
Stock prices soared as central bank repair money washed through the system.
That exuberance is now being unwound, fed by souring global economic news.
Investors started worrying.
Were asset price rises based on fundamentals - that is, the performance of the business or sector being invested in - or were they being pumped up by quantitative easing, central banks printing money?
And if there was a bubble growing, do I, as an investor with billions of pounds of assets under management, need to call the top of the market and get out early to protect my position?
So, the sell started.
Add into this toxic mix the commodity price drop as global demand slowed faster than supply could be cut.
And the problem of bank stocks - caught in a low interest rate, high regulation world where profits are harder to come by.
And the reasons for the storm of selling becomes clearer.
A Thurrock Council pilot scheme, first reported by Your Thurrock, will begin on Monday at a Tilbury primary school.
The council said it does not have enough traffic wardens to police illegal parking outside schools.
A teaching union spokesman feared it could create conflict between staff and some parents.
The pilot scheme will take place at Tilbury Pioneer Academy following a week of training for a parent volunteer.
Jerry Glazier, national executive member of the National Union of Teachers in Essex, said: "It's unusual and innovative as parking is a perennial problem which needs tackling, but educating parents would be the best way forward.
"Teachers are there to teach and maintain positive relations with parents and I'm pretty certain most teachers would not want to put themselves into situations of potential conflict.
"Maybe some parents would volunteer, but it's masking the bigger problem of cuts to local authorities."
Thurrock said it had 50 schools, but only six full-time traffic wardens.
John Kent, Labour leader of the council, said: "We have teachers, parents and residents telling us time and again about frighteningly dangerous parking outside schools, but we don't have the money to have an army of traffic wardens.
"There are teachers and head teachers who try to marshal the traffic already and what they've said to us is that if they have the authority to issue a ticket, it's another weapon in their armoury.
"I think we will get volunteers because issuing a ticket will be the last resort - it's about talking and cajoling people to change their behaviour and I would be delighted if we never issue a single ticket."
Minister for Natural Resources Alun Davies visited the clear-up operation in Aberystwyth, where the promenade was damaged in Friday's high tides.
He wants a "swift review" from Natural Resources Wales (NRW) to "prioritise repair work and see what lessons we can learn".
It comes with more heavy rain and strong winds moving in.
Mr Davies said it was impossible to totally prevent flooding but work was being done to build resilience on the coast.
He added: "Our coastal flood defences have been severely tested by these storms and it is vital to look at how our sea defences have managed to stand up to the power of the recent storms.
"That is why I have asked NRW to carry out this swift review with the immediate priority being to identify and assess any damage caused so that we can prioritise repair work and see what lessons we can learn to be well prepared for future severe weather.
"Particularly given that these events are forecast to become more frequent as a result of climate change."
More heavy rain and strong winds are moving in on Sunday.
NRW is urging people near the Wales coast to remain vigilant as strong winds are forecast overnight into Monday.
South-westerly winds are set to strengthen Sunday evening and by early Monday morning wind gusts of around 60mph are expected on the coasts of Cardigan Bay, Caernarfon Bay, Carmarthen Bay, and Swansea Bay.
This is likely to have an impact on the tides during Monday morning, generating very large waves.
"Although conditions are not predicted to be as bad as on Friday, the combination of strong winds and high tides will still make the coast a dangerous place to be," a NRW spokesman said.
"Natural Resources Wales is advising people to avoid going close to sea fronts as conditions continue to be dangerous, especially as they could be damaged by the recent storm."
Meanwhile NRW officers have been out checking flood defences and repairing damage so they are robust as can be.
There was only one flood warning in place at 18:20 GMT on Sunday for the Lower Dee Valley.
Arriva Trains Wales services between Machynlleth and Aberystwyth, Llanelli and Carmarthen, and Llandudno Junction to Blaenau Ffestiniog, were disrupted on Sunday due to flooding.
The Met Office has issued a yellow warning for Wales, saying up to 15mm of rain is likely across southern areas with locally in excess of 30mm possible over some higher ground.
It also warns of winds of around 60mph on the coast and 70mph locally on Monday, with large waves bringing the risk of coastal flooding.
"The public should be aware of the dangers of waves crashing onshore and over topping shore lines and sea fronts," said a spokesman.
High winds have led to a lane being closed on the M48 Severn Bridge and the A487 at Newgale in Pembrokeshire is still closed due to flooding.
Meanwhile coastguards and the RNLI are warning people to stay away from the coast after a 21-year-old man, believed to be a first year student, had to be rescued by lifeboat.
He became stranded while taking photographs of waves at the end of a wooden jetty in Aberystwyth on Saturday.
The man became trapped causing several worried onlookers to dial 999.
Police and coastguard teams were unable to reach him and he was eventually pulled to safety by an RNLI volunteer who escorted him down a ladder and into the lifeboat.
A spokesperson for Aberystwyth RNLI said: "Whilst the extreme sea conditions are attracting people to the coastline, we repeat our warning to the public stay safe and to keep away from the shore line and dangerous waves.
"This incident highlights the dangers posed not only to the man taking photos, but also the danger that our volunteer crew members and other emergency services have been placed in rescuing this man."
There had been an ice warning overnight and early on Sunday and the A4067 was closed for a time after an accident involving a vehicle near the Glais roundabout in Swansea.
The main road into Newgale in Pembrokeshire is still flooded.
Bruce Sanderson, who runs Sands Café in the village, is open for business despite the bad weather.
While sandbags appear to be keeping the water at bay in the cafe, his surf shop next door has not been so lucky and was breached by 1ft of water.
But Mr Sanderson is looking on the bright side.
"We have sold more hot chocolate than we sold all through Christmas to people coming to watch the waves. We are trying to make a bit of money out of the mayhem," he told BBC Wales.
"We rely on tourists whether they come to see the devastation or they come to sit on the beach in the summer."
Mr Sanderson said bottles, wooden pallets and fishing nets were left strewn across the beach by the high tide, while benches and bins have also been thrown about.
At the height of the tide on Friday, NRW had issued almost 23,000 warnings and alerts to properties across Wales.
The clean-up is continuing in Aberystwyth, with debris left strewn along the promenade after Friday's high tides.
Meanwhile, students were advised not to return to Aberystwyth University this weekend, with exams postponed for a week.
Rebecca Davies, pro vice-chancellor, said about 120 students had been evacuated from seafront residences in the town.
She said waves had "pretty much washed away" big sections of the promenade.
"Our accommodation is basically now acting almost as the sea wall," she said.
"They were all the houses which were on the seafront."
Parts of north-west Wales were also badly affected on Friday with RNLI crews called to rescues at a caravan park in Pwllheli, and to a farmhouse at Llanbedr near Barmouth.
There will be full coverage of disruption from the stormy weather and flooding on BBC Wales online, via Twitter @BBCWalesNews, on Wales Today bulletins on BBC One Wales and on BBC Radio Wales from 06:00 GMT on Monday.
The 24-year-old came through Somerset's academy and has taken 71 catches in 40 first-class games, scoring 1,201 runs.
"After a number of discussions with him we have agreed that it (his contract) won't be renewed," director of cricket Matt Maynard told the county's website.
"I have been very lucky to have played with some fantastic players and with some great friends," Barrow added.
Concerned drivers contacted police after the man was spotted near junction two of the motorway in Greater Manchester on Tuesday afternoon.
He was later arrested on suspicion of a public order offence.
Officers tweeted: "Earlier we had a lady taking her dog for a walk on the M60 now we have a man carrying a gnome."
Greater Manchester Police tweeted a photo of the gnome saying: "Now safe and well in our office after being taken from a pedestrian M60 J2. This is a Missing from Gnome Enquiry!"
One road user tweeted: "Did I really just see a dude walking along the hard shoulder of the M60 carrying a gnome."
Another added: "Just seen a man carrying a gnome down the M60. Best commute ever."
The All Party Parliamentary Group on Social Integration said a commission should be set up to examine how a devolved immigration system might work.
It said the current system had "led to friction" between the UK and Scottish governments.
But it acknowledged there would be major challenges to overcome.
Immigration policy is currently the sole responsibility of Westminster, although the "shortage occupation list" allows Scottish businesses to offer particular jobs to non-EU nationals without first advertising them domestically.
The Home Office said it was not planning to introduce local immigration visa arrangements, but insisted its priority was to build an immigration system that worked for everyone in the UK.
In its report, the parliamentary group said the UK government should aim to encourage people to move to areas of the country which required higher levels of immigration or did not currently attract a great many immigrants.
This included Scotland, where the Scottish government and local authorities believe that increasing immigration will help to offset the country's declining and ageing population.
Giving greater control over immigration to Holyrood has been a key demand of Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon in the wake of the Brexit vote.
The All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) report agreed that the UK's current point-based system is "generally unresponsive to demographic, economic, and cultural differences between our constituent nations and regions".
It added: "This has led to friction between the Scottish and UK governments, as the former's aim of increasing immigration (in order to grow its labour force) has come into conflict with the Home Office's commitment to cut net immigration."
The report said Scottish councils had done a "significant amount of work" to attract more immigrants but that these efforts could be "undermined by a nationally-driven reduction in the number of immigrants arriving in the UK".
It pointed to Canada as an example of a country which had introduced a regionalised immigration system.
The report added: "The APPG calls on the government to seriously consider devolving a degree of control over immigration policy powers to the constituent nations and regions of the UK so as to boost levels of integration.
"The government should appoint an independent commission to explore how a devolved or regionally-led immigration system might work."
It suggested that the commission could examine questions such as:
The report said: "Devolving substantial immigration policy powers to the UK's nations and regions would almost certainly involve significant challenges, but might be achieved through the introduction of region (and potentially sector) specific visas.
"Quotas for the dissemination of these visas could be agreed by devolved administrations, city regions, and other democratic forums."
It said shaping immigration policies to address national and regional economic and cultural needs might instil confidence among members of the public that the immigration system works for their area.
And it said enabling nations and regions to set regional immigration quotas would give politicians the incentive to actively make the case for immigration in their area.

2.8m people in Britain are Muslim - the biggest religious group after Christians
70-85% of the populations in some wards in Blackburn, Birmingham, Burnley and Bradford are Muslim
511 schools in 43 areas take more than 50% pupils from Pakistani or Bangladeshi backgrounds
27% of births in 2014 were to mothers born outside the UK
The APPG is chaired by Labour MP Chuka Umunna, and has members from Labour, the Conservatives and SNP, as well as the SDLP and Democratic Unionists.
Its report also said migrants should be expected to learn English before coming to the UK, or attend language classes when they arrive, as integration was a "two-way street".
Responding to the report, the Home Office said it was not planning to introduce local visa arrangements, but the department said it had made funding available for more English lessons.
A UK government spokesman said: "Our country has long been home to lots of different cultures and communities, but all of us have to be part of one society - British society."
He added: "We must also recognise that uncontrolled, mass immigration makes it difficult to maintain social cohesion and puts pressure on public services.
"Our priority is to build an immigration system that works for everyone in the UK and delivers the control we need."
The Scottish government said the UK's approach to immigration was "driven by a desire to reduce the numbers of incoming migrants and does not recognise Scotland's specific circumstances or serve our economic or societal interests".
A spokesman added: "It is widely regarded that Scotland's population needs are different to the rest of the UK's and we have consistently called on the UK government to consider a more flexible approach, for example through the reintroduction of a post-study work route and most recently in Scotland's Place in Europe, the paper published last month on options to keep Scotland in the Single Market.
"These are not just the views of the Scottish government, but have the support of stakeholders in Higher Education and business, and were also highlighted in the Scottish Affairs Committee's recent report on demography in Scotland."
The parents argued their children's lungs were not yet developed enough to handle the increasing pollution in the city.
Delhi, with 16 million people, is one of the world's most polluted cities.
In recent years it has got noticeably worse around Diwali, when huge quantities of fireworks are set off.
On Friday, the Supreme Court suspended the "possession, stocking and selling" of fireworks in Delhi and its neighbouring suburbs "until further orders".
The court also directed pollution control authorities to "study harmful effects of materials used in firecrackers in three months".
Diwali fireworks 'worsen Delhi pollution'
Diwali fireworks choke Delhi, angering Indians
Diwali in Delhi: A colourful night turns smoggy grey
The ban has been welcomed by Gopal Sankaranarayanan, the lawyer representing the three sets of parents, who pointed to the rise in pollution following October's celebration.
"This year, shortly after Diwali season was over, we had the worst instance of pollution in 20 years," he told the BBC. "It was pretty bad in the 10 days to two weeks following Diwali."
In fact, pollution in Delhi increased to nearly 10 times the safe level after Diwali, the most important Hindu festival in north India. causing panic and outrage.
Residents awoke from a night of colourful fireworks to find the city covered in a thick grey blanket of smog.
There have been several campaigns in the past asking people to use fewer fireworks during the festival, but these have not met with much success.
Despite the victory, Mr Sankaranarayanan was critical of the government's response to date, pointing out that other countries have tackled the pollution issue head-on.
"The first step in any of this is a source apportionment study over a 12-month period so you know exactly what is causing the highest levels of pollution over the year," he said.
"China did it when it was facing problems, Indonesia did it, Dubai does it - but we don't. And still to date, despite [Delhi] being called the most polluted city in the world, the government has not commissioned a source appointment study."
Authorities suspect Sofya Tsygankova last week killed one-year-old Michela and Nika, five, and stabbed herself at the family home near Fort Worth.
Ms Tsygankova, who is originally from Russia, now faces a mental evaluation. The charge can bring the death penalty.
Mr Kholodenko, a Ukrainian musician, is not a suspect, the officials say.
Last Thursday, Mr Kholodenko, 29, called emergency services after finding his 31-year-old estranged wife in an "extreme state of distress", as well as the bodies of his two children.
The children were found in their beds in Benbrook with no visible signs of trauma. A post-mortem examination will determine the cause of death.
Ms Tsygankova, who also performed as a concert pianist, is currently being treated at local hospital.
On Monday, Benbrook police Commander David Babcock said: "We have probable cause, reason to believe that she committed the homicides."
He added that police had collected physical evidence at the scene.
Mr Kholodenko won the prestigious Van Cliburn International Piano Competition in Fort Worth in 2013 and has performed with a number of major orchestras.
He married Ms Tsygankova in 2010. They moved to Fort Worth from Moscow in 2014.
The couple divorced in November, according to court records.
The children lived with their mother, but Mr Kholodenko would routinely pick up the girls from the home in the mornings, police said.
Nick Hardwick told the Independent such deaths were "not acceptable in a civilised country", and if prisoner numbers increased "resources" must too.
In 2013-14, 88 prisoners took their own lives - up from 52 in 2012-13.
The Prison Service said it had enough staff and it was working to understand recent "fluctuations" in suicides.
Mr Hardwick said there had "certainly" been a deterioration in prison safety over the last year.
"The reasons why any individual who is despairing tips over into a suicide are very diverse," he said.
Source: Ministry of Justice
"But if you put together the lack of staffing levels, the overcrowding, the lack of activity, then I don't think it is credible to deny that those are contributory factors."
Mr Hardwick said ministers "absolutely know what the problems are but there has to be the will to improve the situation".
"It's not for the inspector to say how many people should be in prisons," he said.
"But unlike other public services you can control demand.
"If you want the prison population to rise then your resources to deal with that need to rise as well."
Labour's Sadiq Khan said Justice Secretary Chris Grayling "can't keep denying there's a prisons crisis".
"The chaos can be seen by the surge in the number of times the riot squad has been called out, rises in assaults on prison staff, increases in suicides and the rise in the number of prisoners going on the run," he said.
"Rather than prisons punishing and reforming offenders, under this government they've become dangerous warehouses, putting public safety at risk."
Frances Crook, chief executive of the Howard League for Penal Reform, said the government had created a "perfect storm" by:
"The result is people dying and [the government] has to take responsibility," she said.
Ms Crook, who met the mother of an 18-year-old who took his own life in prison earlier this year, said prisoners should "at least" be safe.
"How can the secretary of state say he's not responsible for that?" she added.
"How can they [ministers] sleep at night?"
A Prison Service spokesman said reducing the number of self-inflicted deaths was a "priority".
"We always have and we always will ensure there are enough staff to deliver safe and effective prison regimes," he said.
"We have a high proportion of people with mental health issues in the prison population, and we are working very hard to understand the recent fluctuations in self-inflicted deaths."
Ministry of Justice figures released last month showed the total number of inmates who died in prisons in England and Wales in 2013-14 was 225 - up from 181 in the previous year and higher than in any of the previous nine years.
At the same time the National Offender Management Service said 28 out of 126 jails were "of concern" - the third of four ratings - and one was in the lowest "of serious concern" category.
As she studies her online calendar, she shows me how the hours and minutes of her day are dissected into colour-coded squares.

In addition to being a television celebrity doctor, Ginni runs a busy medical practice as well as her own beauty-related business.
She also serves on numerous boards, lectures at university, consults for large companies, and is a magazine columnist.
And to top all that off, she's a mother to six children. So I believe her when she says she rarely has time to eat lunch, let alone take a bathroom break.
In between seeing her patients, Ginni tells me about how she became a celebrity doctor.
Firstly, she says she didn't get to where she is today through meticulous planning. Her career has been shaped more by the changing needs of her family - and a lot of luck, she says.
After finishing her medical degree in the late 1990s, Ginni promptly gave birth to her first child.
"I was 24 years old with a baby and I was happy. Staying at home worked for me - for about six months. And then it didn't."
So Ginni got her general practice up and running in between having two more children. But she found it difficult to manage her family and full-time work - particularly with a practice that was so demanding.
So another change was needed, she tells me.
She went back to school, this time to study journalism. Her aim? To put her medical knowledge to use another way and to try and work from home.
Ginni says she started small, writing up medical news stories for industry publications. She also worked in a methadone clinic at weekends to help a friend and boost her income.
Things were working out a little more easily than they had been when she was working full-time, she says, but then her personal life took a turn for the worse.
"I got divorced, and that was quite a big trauma in every way," she says.
"One big way that was unforeseen was that I needed to earn a lot of money and I wasn't going to earn that doing what I was doing."
"There was an ad in the paper for someone with media and medical experience... and it was to work for Joe Hockey [shadow minister for health and ageing at the time]," she says.
"I was thinking, 'I've watched The West Wing, I can write, I'm a doctor, I can do this.'"
When she rang to find out more, she was told the position wasn't really suitable for a mother and that it would be too intense.
Yet she submitted her application nonetheless, and moved straight into politics.
Ginni served as a political adviser to Mr Hockey for a year before moving swiftly into the world of publishing.
Her first book, Why Am I So Tired?, sold about three copies, she says with a grin.
One of those copies ended up on the desk of the editor for Women's Health magazine, just as that editor was looking for a doctor to join the magazine's staff.
Soon after she signed on to Women's Health, the magazine was bought by Australia's Channel Seven media network - broadcasters of the popular Sunrise breakfast news programme.
And that was the beginning of her career in television.
She started getting requests to appear on the show, mostly to talk about women's issues. Over time, she solidified her role as a reliable TV doctor and someone the Australian public could relate to.
But even with all of this experience under her belt, she says she didn't quite believe she was an authority on the business side of things - an area she thought she might like to move into next.
"As a girl and as a young woman I would have told you I had no idea about money, no idea about business. But it turns out I'm actually pretty good at business. I actually have skills I didn't know I had."
So today, Ginni is putting those skills to work. Four years ago, she and her current husband, Daniel Rubinstein, started Aurora Care, a private label anti-ageing skincare line.
It was an idea that came about over wine and pizza, she says, and turning it into a fully fledged company was a steep learning curve.
"I've seen so many small businesses run ahead of themselves since they've got all these great ideas and torch all of their cash flow," she explains.
"But we've been measured and very careful and managed to retain every aspect of our brand by making sure to never squeeze our cash flow."
And their business strategy seems to be working. This year, Ginni and David launched a retail line and expanded into China.
"Today the business is going gangbusters and it's the thing I'm most passionate about," Ginni says.
As we wrap up, I ask Ginni about her recipe for success. She tells me it's simple.
"I think you need to really believe in what you're doing.
"If you love what you are doing, but more importantly, if you have retained your ethics and retained your dignity and principles, and you can hold your head high... your life is much easier."
The former Liverpool assistant manager was promoted to first-team boss at Mestalla Stadium in March, initially until the end of the season.
The 53-year-old had taken over after former England defender Gary Neville was sacked following four months in charge.
Ayestaran guided his former side to 12th place in La Liga, winning three of his eight games.
The Spaniard previously managed Israeli side Maccabi Tel Aviv, guiding them to the league title in 2015.
The World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association says snooker should be accepted because of its worldwide appeal.
Chairman Jason Ferguson said: "It has been our belief for some time that we should be given our chance on the ultimate global platform for sport."
Tokyo can accept at least one new sport to its Olympic programme.
The International Olympic Committee recently changed its rules to allow new sports to enter the Games more easily to freshen up the programme.
The approved list of sports has already been agreed and any late inclusion would have to be preceded by a request from the organisers.
Ferguson added: "Snooker alone is watched by nearly half a billion people worldwide and played competitively in over 90 countries."
Baseball and softball are seen as favourites to be named for inclusion due to the sports' popularity in Japan.
The last sports to be admitted to the Olympics were golf and rugby sevens, which will be part of the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro.
Caerphilly MP Wayne David said the Norway model, favoured by First Minister Carwyn Jones, would lead to a "massive loss of sovereignty".
He said the Labour party needed to have a debate on its Brexit position.
Mr Jones' spokesman said single market access was key to protecting jobs.
Norway is not in the European Union but it still has access to the single market.
It has to make a financial contribution and must accept the majority of EU laws but it does not have a say on how they are created.
First Minister Carwyn Jones visited Norway in January to learn about its EU links and said the example demonstrated the UK did not have to give up access to the single market when it leaves the European Union.
Speaking on Monday, he said: "We would not control the rules but we would have full and unfettered access."
Mr David said although the first minister was right to focus on the importance of the single market - with many Welsh jobs dependent on it - the Norway model was a step too far.
"The big problem with simply adopting the Norwegian model is that we accept the laws which are made in the European Union, which we will be outside, without having any say on those laws as they affect the single market," he said.
"That is a big pill for people to swallow.
"It is very difficult for people to accept that for the first time in our history a large measure of our legislation will be made by other people and yet we will be having to conduct all our business relationships under those laws."
Mr David said the the UK could look at how elements of the Norway Model could work in part, rather embracing it "hook, line and sinker".
A spokesman for the first minister said: "We have consistently argued that protecting jobs and our economy should be the focus of Brexit negotiations.
"The most effective way of doing this is through securing full and unfettered access to the single market and remaining in the customs union as we set out in our Brexit white paper.
"Membership of the EEA is one option for maintaining full and unfettered access, as Norway do, though it is not the only model."
Labour's shadow international trade secretary Barry Gardiner has already said the Norway model would prevent the UK from achieving the reasons why people voted to leave the EU.
Organisers said it was because fans of Oxford band Glass Animals bring hundreds of the fruit to its gigs, in a nod to song Pork Soda which includes the lyrics "pineapples are in my head".
Drummer Joe Seaward said it would be a "challenge" to get in with pineapples.
"Anyone who wasn't bringing a pineapple definitely is now," he said.
"It's fruitist. Watermelons are fine, but not pineapples?"
When the group performed at Glastonbury in June the stage was decorated with pineapples and some fans came dressed as the exotic fruit.
Other items banned from the festivals include weapons, fireworks, drones and glass.
Frontman Dave Bayley said he overheard a conversation once between a homeless man and someone else on the street in which he thought the speaker said: "Pineapples are in my head."
In retrospect he believes he misheard, but he liked the idea, which stuck with him and decided to include it in the song Pork Soda as a nod to the street scene environment.

A spokesman for Reading and Leeds Festivals said: "Organisers were a little concerned about hundreds of pineapples turning up on site so decided to ask fans not to bring them along."
He added: "The tongue may be slightly in cheek on this one."
The list of items banned from the arena include:
The BBC has asked the organisers if they have specific safety concerns about the fruit.
The annual festival will run between 25 and 27 August.

The new survey data should reveal how this vast tract of ice in the east of the continent is likely to respond to a warming world.
Recovery is currently perfectly stable, but any change could have significant global impact because it contains the equivalent of 2.5-3m of sea-level rise.
The ICEGRAV project is trying to determine its vulnerabilities.
"In some senses, this huge Antarctic feature is a sleeping giant," said Dr Fausto Ferraccioli from the British Antarctic Survey.
"We want to understand the circumstances that might disturb it," he told BBC News.
Dr Ferraccioli was speaking here in San Francisco at the American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting together with Prof Rene Forsberg, of the Danish National Space Institute, and Dr Kenichi Matsuoka, of the Norwegian Polar Institute.
They were using the event to give a progress report on ICEGRAV, an international collaboration that also includes Argentina, and has partial economic support from the US.
The project has flown a plane packed with instruments over a large section of the Recovery Catchment, which extends from a point known as Dome A, deep in the ice sheet's interior, all the way to the coast, where glaciers feed the Filchner and Ronne ice shelves in the Weddell Sea.
The aerogeophysical campaign's first data products, presented to AGU, are maps showing variations in gravity, magnetism and ice thickness across the region. The data provides details not possible to observe from satellites. The European Space Agency's Goce mission, falling from the skies only a few weeks ago, has left a big gap in Antarctica, only possible to observe from aircraft.
Taken all together, this data will provide a profile of Recovery from the top of the ice right down to the crust. Like a doctor using a sophisticated medical scanner, the ICEGRAV scientists will then attempt to diagnose the future health prospects for the catchment.
A key quest is to describe the shape of the underlying rock bed, as this will influence how Recovery responds to any melting at the coast.
Under some global warming scenarios for the end of the century, warm water from the Southern Ocean is expected to penetrate deep into the Weddell Sea, eroding the base of its ice shelves.
This could accelerate ice discharge from the Recovery catchment and potentially affect the stability of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet.
"If we then find the rock bed dips away from the grounding line at the coast towards the interior, we could get something called marine ice-sheet instability," explained Dr Ferraccioli.
"What this means is that once you have warm water getting into the system, there is little to stop further retreat of the ice sheet.
"This is one of the most critical questions we have about Recovery: what is the shape of the bed near the ice sheet's grounding line?"
The ICEGRAV Twin Otter aircraft that mapped part of the region during the last Antarctic summer season flew a total of 30,000km from an inland camp supported by the Norwegian Polar Institute.
"Satellite techniques found many subglacial lakes in this region and the new ICEGRAV dataset is crucial to reveal their characteristics and impact on ice flow," said Dr Matsuoka.
The Germans are extending the coverage this season with a Baseler plane operated by the Alfred Wegener Institute. And the Americans will complete the work using their instrumented LC130 Hercules, flying a two-season campaign, starting perhaps the season after next.
Prof Robin Bell, from the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, at Columbia University, New York, will lead the US effort.
"On our existing bed maps, [Recovery Catchment] looks - as I like to say - like 'pancake land' because we don't know much about it. But it's one of those places where warm water could reach fairly far into the ice sheet. Some of the other pancake lands we haven't mapped on the continent appear to be pretty high, so they're not so much of a concern.
"I've always thought this area is an Achilles heel for East Antarctica, but until we have the data we won't know that for sure," she told BBC News.
More knowledge than just the potential ice dynamics of Recovery will come out of the survey.
It will also help scientists interpret geology near the coast that is thought to be a record of the ancient supercontinents.
On the northern edge of Recovery Glacier, close to the coast, is the Shackleton mountain range, which contains scraps of ocean floor that have been lifted and exposed. These rocks represent a major suture - an imprint of when the land masses came together to form the giant continent Gondwana about 500 million years ago.
And further north still, in so-called Coats Land, there are rocks that probably pinned together East Antarctica and North America when they were joined in the supercontinent Rodinia some one billion years in the past.

Mr McNeill, who has been described as the club's "greatest ever captain", led the team which won the European Cup in 1967.
His family told a Sunday newspaper he was diagnosed with the illness seven years ago and is now unable to speak.
Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell said Mr McNeill was facing his situation with "true bravery".
The former Hoops captain enjoyed a glittering career at the Parkhead club, where he became the first Briton to lift the European Cup after a 2-1 win over Inter Milan in Lisbon in 1967.
McNeill, 76, also led Celtic to nine successive league titles and won seven Scottish Cups and six League Cups, before having two spells as manager.
He also managed English clubs Manchester City and Aston Villa in the 1980s.
He is currently being cared for by his wife Liz, 73, at their home in Newton Mearns, Glasgow.
She has spoken to the Sunday Mail and the Scottish Sun on Sunday about her husband's battle with the degenerative brain disease.
She said he relies mostly on hand gestures to communicate his feelings.
She told the Sun on Sunday: "His concentration is not as good as it was and he now can't communicate very well. It's affected his speech over the last year or two.
"Sometimes, if something annoys him, he can still say a few words like 'don't do that'. But in general he finds it very difficult. It's not because he doesn't know how to speak. There's just a part of his brain that won't let him. I miss the conversation."
The McNeills decided to bring their experiences into the open as the 50th anniversary of the Lisbon Lions' historic victory in May 1967 approaches.
And they have backed a campaign by the Sunday Mail for more funding to further research links between dementia and heading a football.
Mrs McNeill said: "I think it's the right time for us to talk about this now. Heading the ball and the possibilities of concussive effects on the brain needs more discussion.
"We don't know if Billy's dementia is linked to his football. More research needs to be done."
Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell said a proportion of the proceeds of a forthcoming Celtic FC Foundation charity match will go towards supporting people with dementia.
He said: "Billy is a man of true stature, someone who has given so much of his life to Celtic and at all times with such grace, humility and dignity.
"He is respected by all in football and someone who will always be loved dearly by all Celtic supporters."
Mr Lawwell added: "We have always been in close contact with Billy and his family and have been well aware for some time of the challenges he has been facing, a situation he has met with true bravery, a quality synonymous with Billy McNeill.
"I know Liz has been an absolute tower of strength too for Billy. Her compassion and care for Billy has been crucial and I would like to pay tribute to her and the rest of the family.
"He is a very special man and everyone at Celtic will continue to give Billy and his family every support."
Footballer commentator Archie Macpherson told BBC Scotland Mr McNeill's diagnosis "underlines the importance of more research".
He said: "I saw him during the unveiling of his statue at Parkhead and he just about recognised me but wasn't able to converse too much. It was sad, enormously sad and I feel for Liz.
"I think the organisers and legislators of the game have got to look seriously into specific research in football - what effect heading the ball has on a footballer."
The commentator said research had been done into head injuries in rugby and American football but that football had been "a little bit too casual about this".
"I think it really has got to be specifically examined," he added.
The 125-104 win in Oakland means the defending champions surpassed the previous record of 72 set by Michael Jordan's Chicago Bulls in 1995-96.
Steph Curry also became the first to net more than 400 three-pointers in a season, taking his tally to 402.
Warriors coach Steve Kerr, who played for the 1996 Bulls team, said: "I never thought anyone would break it."
Rangers went close through Jason Holt and Waghorn before the two combined to break Hamilton's resistance, the Englishman heading Holt's cross into the top corner.
Waghorn made it two from close range after being teed up by Lee Wallace.
Hamilton rallied and pulled one back when Danny Redmond's cross found Dougie Imrie, who tapped in from close range.

The result ensured Hamilton's miserable record against Rangers was extended, with the home side yet to beat the Ibrox club on league business in 78 years.
Rangers are now eight points behind Celtic on 35 points, but the Parkhead club have three games in hand.
Mark Warburton's side were the slightly more dominant team in the first half although it was Hamilton who - until the goal - had the best chance of the 45 minutes when Greg Docherty robbed James Tavernier on the byeline.
He cut into the box, but tried a shot from a narrow angle when the cut-back was the better option.
Docherty, who had been impressive, was injured in the challenge and had to limp off to be replaced by Massimo Donati.
Then just a minute before half-time Holt cut the ball back and Waghorn's powerful header rattled in off the bar for his second league goal of the season.
It was becoming increasingly clear that Warburton's surprising decision to include Waghorn was spot on.
Early in the second half he scored his second. Great work down the left by Wallace set him up and he had a straightforward job of volleying the ball into the net.
Rangers were now cruising. Alex D'Acol did come close with a drive for Accies, but the visitors had a real grip on the game and Waghorn was running riot with growing confidence, setting up chances for Tavernier and twice for Garner.
Hamilton's star player Ali Crawford - who is enjoying a wonderful season - was unusually quiet.
At times Accies were in pieces. They were caught on a counter-attack that saw Tavernier run 60 yards only to blast the ball over the bar with the goalkeeper at his mercy.
Waghorn was denied his hat-trick opportunity with Warburton taking him off with 14 minutes to go to give him the chance to take a standing ovation from the support.
But within a minute he might have been regretting that decision. Imrie pulled a goal back at the right-hand post, sliding the ball home just seconds after he failed to do so at the other post.
It made for a grandstand and nervous finish, but Rangers hung on, and Accies still have not beaten them in the league since 10 December 1938.
Hamilton player-manager Martin Canning: "We started the game really well. I thought Rangers came into it. It looked like we were going to go in at the break all square. They score right before half-time which is a good time for them to get a goal.
"The second goal was always going to be crucial. The second half started in a similar tone to the way the first half ended. They had control of the game, they were controlling the ball.
"We changed to go 3-5-2 to put two up front to try and stop them getting the ball out so easily, put more pressure on them higher up the park.
"We then concede which shouldn't happen with Lee Wallace running in behind. We talked about it all day yesterday, we know his threat going forward from left-back and we got done with it which is disappointing. Defensively it was poor.
"Once we got the goal we gave it a go but the damage was done with the second goal."
Rangers manager Mark Warburton: "We had a lot of new players coming in at the start of the season. Joe Garner was a waste of money three weeks ago and now they are chanting his name all night long. So give the boys time to settle in and gel as a team. They are doing that.
"Waggy (Waghorn) came back, he has been patient and he showed how good he can be tonight."

Willie Rennie wants to increase income tax rates by 1p in order to raise £2.5bn for nurseries and colleges over the next five years.
It would also pay for a "pupil premium" for pupils who need extra help.
But Mr Rennie admitted he could not ensure councils spent the extra money on education.
All of Scotland's main political parties have put education at the heart of their campaigns ahead of the Holyrood election on 5 May.
The Liberal Democrats have said they would "reverse the damage of SNP cuts" to schools and colleges, and extend free nursery provision to all two-year-olds.
Mr Rennie told the BBC's Good Morning Scotland programme that increasing income tax rates by 1p would raise £475m every year - £170m of which would go towards his party's flagship "pupil premium" plan.
The scheme would be worth £1,400 for primary pupils who require extra support and £900 for secondary pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Mr Rennie said the pupil premium "would be part of the council spending programme and it would include the part of the £2.5bn over the five years".
Asked if he would guarantee a real-terms increase in education funding, Mr Rennie replied: "Yes we would."
However, he would not guarantee that local authorities would ring-fence the additional cash for education.
He said: "Since half of what councils do is education, I think it would be one of their top priorities to invest it in schools.
"We want to trust local authorities to be able to invest in areas within their communities.
"I believe that, especially with Liberal Democrats in charge of local authorities, that investment will go directly to schools."
Mr Rennie said councils "would see the sense" of using the money to invest in education.
The tiny blue and orange bird was discovered in a net by volunteer bird ringers at Bog Meadows.
Conservation charity Ulster Wildlife said it was the first recorded sighting of a young kingfisher at the reserve.
An adult kingfisher caught earlier in the summer was the first one found by researchers at the site in 20 years.
Bird ringers have been recording breeding birds at Bog Meadows since 1995.
The volunteers found the young bird last week during one of their morning visits to record, ring, and release breeding birds.
Aidan Crean, of preservation group Friends of Bog Meadows, said he was "absolutely thrilled" to find kingfishers at the west Belfast reserve, which sits beside one of the busiest roads leading into the city.
"Bog Meadows is one of the last remaining wildlife sites in the city, but due to its relative isolation and bustling location beside the M1, it's an unlikely spot to see these very vulnerable and shy birds," he said.
"[But] the fortunes of this wetland habitat have been transformed, thanks to conservation work carried out by Ulster Wildlife, creating an ideal location for kingfishers and other wetland-loving creatures to thrive."
Mr Crean said that while it was unlikely the birds were nesting at Bog Meadows, he hoped they would soon begin to raise their young there.
"There have been several sightings of adult kingfishers along the ponds and streams since the start of spring," he added.
"This is a good sign that there's plenty of fish to catch and, most importantly, clean water and good habitat." | The 2016 Olympia Horse Show takes place from 13-19 December in London and brings together some of the world's best dressage and show jumping riders.

Counsel for Gary Haggarty, 43, claimed proper access to a huge body of papers would show he has no case to answer on some of the allegations against him.
A prosecutor also indicated it was unclear when Mr Haggarty's trial will take place.
The allegations span a 16-year period.
It relates to the period from 1991 to 2007.
In January 2010, Mr Haggarty agreed to become an assisting offender under the terms of the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act.
Preliminary enquiry proceedings to establish if he will stand trial have been repeatedly put on hold as his legal team battles to gain access to unredacted interview material.
At one stage he also failed in a High Court bid to force the PSNI to hand over the tapes.
One potential solution involves prosecutors going through all the papers and using a system of ciphers for blanked-out names and passages.
At Belfast Magistrates' Court on Wednesday, defence counsel confirmed the charges are based on her client's admissions at interview.
Asked by the district judge why she needed full disclosure for a preliminary enquiry, the lawyer replied: "It's our clear view in respect of certain of these charges, were the papers disclosed in the appropriate form, it would show in certain charges there isn't a case to answer."
Pressed on this point, she added: "He has given an indication of matters he was involved in at the behest of, by licence of, and as an agent of the state.
"That's the position and that's why it's important."
According to a senior prosecuting lawyer there is no duty to disclose absolutely everything.
He suggested, however, that if the defence identified any charges in dispute, consideration would be given to making further disclosures.
With the cipher system to be completed in six weeks time, the judge listed the case for a further review at that stage.
Meanwhile, the judge resisted renewed calls to press ahead with preliminary enquiries for two Belfast men charged with murdering two Catholic workmen.
James Smyth, 48, and Mark Campbell, 43, are jointly accused of the double killing of Gary Convie and Eamon Fox in May 1994.
The victims were gunned down as they sat eating lunch in a car at a building site on Belfast's North Queen Street.
Mr Smyth, from Forthriver Link, and Mr Campbell, of Canning Place, are further charged with attempting to murder a third man, Donal Laverty, in the same attack.
They were charged by detectives investigating a campaign of UVF-linked murder and serious crime.
At previous hearings, defence lawyers claimed the allegations are based on evidence from Mr Haggarty.
In court on Wednesday, Mr Smyth and Mr Campbell's solicitor argued that their committal proceedings should be listed for eight weeks time.
With the prosecution stressing that timeframe will not be met, the judge asked whether their cases would have to wait until after Mr Haggarty is dealt with.
The prosecutor replied: "It's unclear whether there will be a Haggarty trial, but it will have to wait certainly until pleas have been entered and it's considered there's nothing more on the books."
He added: "Until we know the assisting offender's status as a witness we can't take a decision."
Chinese media said Bao Guohua had been found guilty of embezzling money from his congregation in Zhejiang province.
His wife, Xing Wenxiang. received 12 years for the same offences.
The couple's supporters say the case is linked to a government crackdown on Christian activity in Zhejiang.
Planning officials there have removed more than 1,000 crosses from churches over the past two years.
Bao Guohua was one of the very few government-approved pastors to resist the removals.
Earlier this month, authorities in Zhejiang said another prominent pastor, Gu Yuese, was being investigated for corruption.
Christian activists said the inquiry was also linked to Mr Gu's open opposition to the crackdown on Christian activity.
The Zhejiang Daily newspaper reported that Bao had been fined more than $15,000 (£10,800) and the court had also ordered another $92,000 confiscated.
The authorities have justified the tearing down of crosses by saying they break planning rules.
But many believe officials want to limit Christianity across the south-eastern province, where the religion has a strong following. Zhejiang is home to many churches, particularly in the city of Wenzhou.
Bao and his wife were detained last August and charged with embezzlement shortly afterwards.
The spectrum, formerly used by the Ministry of Defence, will provide 4G services for mobile companies.
The communications watchdog has suggested that a 42% share could be the largest one mobile company could own.
BT, which includes mobile network EE, currently owns 45%. Vodafone owns 28%, Three 15% and O2 12%.
These figures, provided by Ofcom, account for the existing spectrum available for "immediate use". The addition of the extra spectrum would bring BT/EE's share down to 42%, it said.
Firms have until 30 January 2017 to respond to the proposals.
However there is no suggestion that the cap could be extended to a different bandwidth of spectrum set aside to handle 5G when it launches in the UK, Ofcom added.
That comprises around 75% of the spectrum to be auctioned, it said.
EE chief executive Marc Allera said the firm disagreed with the idea.
"While we don't agree that competition measures should be introduced for this auction, we will now examine Ofcom's detailed proposal carefully and respond to the consultation," he said in a statement.
Three had lobbied for a 30% cap.
"If you've got one or two players in the market that dominate spectrum, then there is always a fear that innovation is slower because you don't have people pushing each other," Three chief executive Dave Dyson told the BBC in September.
Analyst Kester Mann from CCS Insight said the proposals represented "a partial victory" for Three.
"Expect this announcement to be just the start of another round of wrangling and protestation from the UK networks, that could see the award of licences further delayed," he said.
"Any additional hold-up works against Three and O2, which are most in need of new airwaves.
"The auction is crucial to UK providers as it will likely represent the last opportunity to buy mobile spectrum for several years."
Ofcom has not confirmed a date for the auction itself, which the BBC understands is expected to take place next year.
The total reserve price for all the spectrum on offer will be £70m ($86m).

The World Club Challenge would give the best of Super League the chance to beat the reigning NRL champions on an annual basis.
And for a while each year the cocksure Australian pundits would lose a little volume when it came to trashing the Poms and our "inferior game".
Of course, they always spluttered out their excuses: "Mate, it's not fair our teams have to do all the travelling..."; "Aw look, the weather up there gives you a massive advantage..."; "You know, our clubs don't even take it seriously...".
Still, it was nice to get one over on them. When rugby league worlds collide on the Test match stage, British wins are too rare. So when the club game gave us succour, we were all too eager to gloat.
But that annual pleasure has been taken away. The NRL clubs have started winning. They have been overcoming indifference, jet lag and chilblains for some time now.
Leeds were the last British winners against Manly. But that was in 2012, and it is the only British win in the last eight years.
Wigan tried to reverse the trend by reversing the travel patterns when they flew to Sydney for their World Club Challenge fixture against the Roosters in 2014, but that did not end well. The Roosters won 36-14.
British clubs still lead the head-to-head 22-match series, dating back to Wigan's 8-2 win over Manly in 1987, by 12 wins to 10.
But that statistic underlines how dominant the Super League sides were, compared with the slide in fortunes in the past decade or so.
The truth of it is that in the past three years, it has not even been close.
They have even started adding other teams to the mix to make it a World Club Series weekend - this year Warrington take on Brisbane Broncos on Saturday before Super League champions Wigan face Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks on Sunday. But the Aussies even win the warm-up games, mostly at a canter.
The NRL is getting stronger and stronger. The investment into clubs of millions of dollars on the back of a mega-bucks TV deal has seen their competition become more intense on a weekly basis.
They have even started taking England's best players, with the bulk of the national team playing in the NRL.
In each of the past few years English hopes have been artificially raised, there has been a buzz of anticipation - and then those hopes are cruelly swatted away.
Some Australian player lifts a trophy; some Australian coach tells an after-match news conference it was a good run-out ahead of the really important stuff - the NRL season; and the English rugby league fraternity are left sulking in a corner moaning about salary caps.
So, at the risk of seeing the well of eternal optimism run dry, I reckon this could be Super League's year. And how we, and the world of rugby league, need it to be.
Wigan are a terrific team and are, if anything, an even better side than they were when they won the Grand Final in October.
Their coach Shaun Wane knows exactly what this match means to the Wigan and British public. He was man of the match in that game against Manly back in 1987, when Central Park almost burst because of the number of fans inside.
Cronulla's Grand Final win last year was nothing short of a fairytale, ending a 49-year wait to lift the trophy. "Forever ends" was the catchline when they beat Melbourne in a nerve-shredding game.
But they will be without a clutch of their Grand Final stars, and a wintry Wigan afternoon may be the perfect platform for a Super League side to finally end the drought.
They have also spent time sightseeing in Paris during the build-up, which may suggest an eye off the ball and over-confidence - the last Australian club to take in the French capital before a meeting with a British side was the ill-fated Perth Western Reds, who followed up their trip to the Louvre with defeat by Sheffield Eagles in the extended 1997 World Club tournament.
There are even a few learned Australians who would not mind seeing Cronulla come a cropper.
Not only would a Wigan win be a major shot in the arm for Super League, it would also help revive interest in a game that should be rugby league's international best-seller.
Wigan chairman Ian Lenagan told the BBC earlier this week that he can foresee the World Club Challenge becoming rugby league's equivalent of the Champions League final - a glorious annual event that showcases the international club game at its glamorous best.
He believes the NRL will give serious consideration to how to move the World Club Challenge forward when they start considering next year how to shape the club game from 2019 onwards.
With a World Cup in the United States planned to take place in 2025, and with the growing interest in Canadian side Toronto Wolfpack, North America would make an ideal location to see the best of both hemispheres face off in a brave new world.
Others have suggested various venues in the Middle East and East Asia; from Dubai to Hong Kong. And it is easy to get excited about that prospect.
But the truth is no Australian administrator will go anywhere near that notion if Super League remains sub-standard. A win this weekend for an English side will at least plant a seed of hope.
So Wigan, it is over to you. Even St Helens fans may punch the air - when no-one is looking of course - if the Warriors were to win. Super League could puff out its chest again and claim its best is good enough.
And someone, somewhere may take note of such a result and begin the planning to make the World Club Challenge the showpiece it should be, all things being equal.

The 27-year-old Ecuador international has made 11 Premier League appearances for Swansea City this season.
Paul Clement's side are 16th in the Premier League, two points off the drop zone and play Burnley on Saturday.
The incident happened in Jedburgh at about 03:00 on Thursday on land situated close to the A68.
The victim challenged two men she came across on the property at that time and they attacked her, leaving her with facial injuries.
The men ran off into a wooded area after carrying out the assault. A quad bike was heard driving off following the incident.
Police have issued descriptions of the two men involved.
The first was white, in his 30s, about 5ft 7in tall, of thin build and of scruffy appearance with light stubble and acne scars.
He was wearing a grey tracksuit and trainers and spoke with a Geordie accent.
The second man is described as white, in his 50s, 6ft tall, of large build with black hair. He was wearing jeans and boots.
PC Claire White said: "This was a particularly frightening experience for the woman who was shaken.
"Whilst the assault happened in a remote area we have good descriptions of the two men and I want to speak to anyone who may recognise them."
She said a van was seen in a lay-by on the A68 shortly before the incident. It has been described as a rusty white Ford Transit with a 56 registration.
"Two people were seen inside the van smoking," she said.
"I'm keen to trace this van and its occupants as they may be able to assist with our inquiries."
The 36-year-old was in Milton Keynes on Tuesday for talks, but will take charge of Hearts' Scottish Premiership match against Rangers on Wednesday.
Hearts would go second in the table with victory at Tynecastle.
Neilson will replace Karl Robinson as manager of the Dons, who are 19th in England's third tier.
The former Scotland and Leicester right-back was given his first management job by his old club Hearts in May 2014.
He led his side to the Scottish Championship title and promotion in his first season in charge and they finished third in the top flight last term.
It is expected Neilson will take his assistant Stevie Crawford to MK Dons, who had previously been in talks with former England and Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard.
However, the 36-year-old said the vacancy came "a bit too soon" for him after his exit from LA Galaxy.
Robinson's six-year reign at MK Dons ended in October, following a poor start to the season having been relegated from the Championship last term.
Meanwhile, Rotherham United have said that they did not make an approach for Neilson, despite reports that he turned down the change to move to the Championship side as a replacement for Kenny Jackett, who resigned on Monday.
The assault on Jinnah international airport in Karachi began late on Sunday, with security forces gaining control in the early hours of Monday.
The Pakistani Taliban have said they carried out the raid as revenge for the killing of their leader last year.
A government spokesman said a full investigation was under way.
Asif Kirmani, a political secretary to Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, also praised the security forces for their response.
The Karachi airport attack comes against the backdrop of a major split in the Pakistani Taliban (TTP) - and threats of retaliation following limited military operations against foreign militants in North Waziristan.
Given the violence, it seems clear that any pretence at a peace process is now over. Few seriously thought that recent talks between the government and militants were getting anywhere anyway.
The attack is also a reminder, if it were needed, that despite their divisions, the Taliban retain the capability to mount spectacular strikes across Pakistan.
Pakistan Taliban still deadly despite split
Pakistani officials said 10 heavily armed gunmen stormed the airport in two teams of five on Sunday at 23:00 local time (18:00 GMT).
The attackers, wearing explosives belts, are believed to have entered the area using fake ID cards, although some reports suggest they cut through a barbed wire fence.
They threw grenades and fired at security guards in the old terminal, used for cargo and VIP operations.
The airport was shut down, passengers were evacuated and flights diverted as security forces fought back.
Seven militants were shot dead in a gun battle with security forces which lasted until dawn. Another three attackers detonated their explosives.
The dead terminal staff were said to be mostly security guards from the Airport Security Force (ASF) but also airline workers. The initial death toll of 28 was raised after the Civil Aviation Authority said two more bodies had been found inside the terminal.
Hours after the airport reopened on Monday evening, there were reports that a group of airport employees were stuck inside a cold storage facility where they had taken refuge.
Their relatives gathered outside the terminal building, demanding urgent action to rescue them. A spokesman for the Civil Aviation Authority said it was being investigated.
The Chief Minister of Sindh province, Qaim Ali Shah, said the attackers "were well trained" and their plan "very well thought out".
Later on Monday, security forces displayed a large quantity of weapons and ammunition seized from the attackers, as well as food, indicating they had been prepared for a lengthy siege. They also displayed the bodies of the dead militants.
Army officials said there were indications that some of the gunmen may have been foreign nationals.
The Taliban later said they had carried out the attack, and that its aim had been to hijack aircraft, though they failed to do so.
It was "a message to the Pakistan government that we are still alive to react over the killings of innocent people in bomb attacks on their villages", said spokesman Shahidullah Shahid.
Pakistan has been fighting an Islamist insurgency for more than a decade, with the Pakistani Taliban the main militant group.
Prime Minister Sharif recently told the BBC he was still hopeful a peace initiative with the Taliban could succeed, but the violence has continued, with Karachi a frequent target.

The move came after Prince William and Prime Minister David Cameron wrote to Fifa asking that England be allowed to wear shirts embroidered with poppies.
Fifa bans political, religious or commercial messages on shirts.
England and Wales have agreed to the compromise. Scotland will consult their opponents before making a decision.
England will wear the armbands in Saturday's friendly against Spain.
"The FA welcomes Fifa's decision and thanks them for agreeing to this," the Football Association said in a statement.
The Football Association of Wales confirmed its players will wear the armbands for their match with Norway on Saturday.
Scottish Football Association chief executive Stewart Regan said they hoped to adopt the same approach for the friendly against Cyprus in Larnaca on Friday night.
Regan said: "The decision is a pragmatic solution to the fact that Fifa's rules forbid the wearing of the poppy on the match shirt.
"Subject to the approval of the Cypriot FA as the host nation we will also adopt this approach in our friendly match on Friday night.

"We believe this is a fitting way to show our respect for those members of the armed forces who have lost their lives fighting for their country."
The Fifa announcement of the compromise came shortly after it was revealed that the Duke of Cambridge had written a letter to world football's governing body in his position as president of the FA.
Clarence House said the Prince was "dismayed" by Fifa's initial stance ahead of Saturday's England match against Spain.
Earlier on Wednesday, Mr Cameron said he would also write to Fifa asking it to lift the ban ahead of England's game with the world champions.
"It seems outrageous," said Mr Cameron. "I hope Fifa will reconsider."
A spokesman for St James's Palace said the Prince was pleased with the compromise.
No poppies were worn when England played Brazil on 14 November 2009
A Downing Street spokesman said Mr Cameron welcomed Fifa's decision, saying: "It's a sensible way forward."
As an alternative to having embroidered poppies on their shirts, the FA had previously said England players would wear black armbands during the game and lay a wreath on the pitch during the national anthems.
England and Wales' rugby league players will be wearing poppies on their shirts this weekend, along with the other two teams - Australia and New Zealand - involved in the Four Nations.

Now with oil at a 12 year low, below $30 a barrel, how can airlines possibly be hitting passengers with a surcharge for jet fuel?
The point is they aren't.
But before you crack open the champagne and book a quick flight off to the Maldives - those surcharges haven't gone away.
They're just not for fuel any more. They're for - well it's not quite clear what they are for, apart from maintaining profit margins at the airlines.
To recap: the surcharges were introduced as a way for the airlines to distance themselves from the rising cost of oil, in the same way that they itemised government taxes on their bills.
Travel writer Simon Calder explains: "It was a way for the airline to say "this is nothing to do with us - don't blame us for the price rises".
Even when oil prices began to fall, for a while fuel surcharges were still acceptable because the airlines had hedged, buying much of that oil when the price was high.
"And let's not forget the oil price is paid in dollars and the dollar has been very strong over the last year," he adds.
That has meant that savings have been slow to come through. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) reckons the final hedges which locked airlines into higher than market oil prices will unwind by mid-2016.
Even so, as the oil price raced downwards, the surcharge became virtually impossible to defend.
And, more important, the regulators were not going to let the airlines hoodwink their passengers.
In 2012 the US Department of Transportation had ruled: "When a cost component is described as a fuel surcharge … that amount must actually reflect a reasonable estimate of the per-passenger fuel costs incurred by the carrier".
So bit by bit the fuel surcharge has disappeared.
Has that meant fares have come down?
IATA's chief economist Brian Pearce says: "In 2015 air ticket prices on average still fell by around 5% (adjusted for exchange rate changes) and we expect similar reductions in 2016.
"That's a substantial reduction because at the same time airlines are seeing the costs like labour and airport charges going up."
But the interesting point is how the airlines have removed the surcharge.
Some airlines like Qantas and Virgin Australia did get rid of it altogether and absorbed it into their basic fare early last year.
Many of the budget airlines, such as Ryanair, boasted that they never had a fuel surcharge in the first place.
A few held on to it, most notably in Japan where it is strictly regulated, and accurately reflects the falling cost.
So the fuel surcharge for a JAL flight from Japan to Korea at the beginning of 2015 stood at 1,000 yen (£5.80; $8.40). A year later and it has sunk to 300 yen.
But many of the other airlines simply removed the fuel surcharge and replaced it with something different, often described as a "carrier imposed surcharge".
What that means is not exactly clear.
For instance BA's explanation of the charge is as follows: "Carrier imposed charges were introduced in October last year in response to a variety of factors.
"These include changing industry practices and to be consistent with changes that have been in place for flights originating in the USA for a number of years."
Lufthansa is slightly more illuminating. It introduced an "international surcharge" in 2014. Spokesman Boris Ogursky says: "The surcharge covers costs beyond our control such as air traffic control fees, emissions trading scheme payments and so on.
"It is important for the customer to compare the overall cost of the flight with other airlines. The total fare is steered by market competition - it's not just us making up surcharges and putting them up and down as we like.
"It is a highly competitive marketplace."
In some respects the name of the surcharge is irrelevant. As Simon Calder says: "You could call it a uniform charge if you want, and you can say it's to cover the cost of uniforms, it matters not a jot.
"It is just another way of charging the passenger."
However, it does matter to frequent flyers. In general, frequent flyer points can only be redeemed in exchange for basic fares. Surcharges and government taxes, with some exceptions, have to be paid for with cash.
So, by framing a large chunk of the fare as a surcharge, airlines can protect that income from discounts and loyalty scheme claims.
The bottom line could come as a bit of a shock to a frequent flyer eagerly queuing up to redeem points to buy a British Airways round trip to New York, say.
If they leave early this Saturday and come back on Wednesday, they will be faced with a total fare of £523.55.
Of that £155 is government taxes. No chance the frequent flyer points (known as Avios to BA customers) will pay for that.
£163 of the fare is the carrier imposed surcharge. The points won't pay for that either - unless there is a special offer available.
In the end the points will pay for just £205 of the £523.55 fare. The frequent flyer (not the points) ends up paying the rest.
Both sides began the match in the top two, and Boro came close in the first half when Albert Adomah hit the bar.
League leaders Boro took the lead when Jordan Rhodes finished from six yards.
The Clarets looked like they would drop out of the Championship automatic promotion spots with Brighton winning, until defender Keane forced home a corner to maintain their top-two place.
Keane's dramatic intervention stretched Sean Dyche's side's unbeaten league run to 20 games, a streak that goes all the way back to Boxing Day, and ended Boro's six-match winning run.
Aitor Karanka's side would have gone four points clear at the top of the table had they held on for victory, after Rhodes had turned home Daniel Ayala's knockdown of Stewart Downing's free-kick midway through the second half.
Boro, whose gap at the top remains at two points, had come the closest to opening to scoring in the first half when Albert Adomah smashed against the crossbar.
The Clarets regularly threatened following Rhodes' goal, with Boro defender Ritchie De Laet having to be on hand to clear George Boyd's strike off the line.
Matt Taylor's free-kick then deflected just wide for the hosts before, two minutes into injury time, his corner caused chaos in the Boro area and was tucked away by Keane.
The Clarets would have dropped a point behind Brighton had they been defeated, with the Seagulls thrashing QPR 4-0, but they remain in the top two on goal difference.
Burnley manager Sean Dyche:
"I'm really pleased with the whole group tonight, for the mentality. That's an important game, you go 1-0 down, that can defuel you. Not for us. We just kept on and on; eventually they cracked.
"[Middlesbrough] are a very good team; they've spent wisely. They've spent it really well, I think that was actually a compliment.
"I've got total respect for every manager. I mean it sincerely. We're all trying to do the job, to be successful."
Middlesbrough head coach Aitor Karanka:
"We had our chances to score the second and the third and with George Friend and Gaston Ramirez's injuries I had to make substitutions. The game was under control for us.
"If you look at the games where we scored against Reading and Bolton, we try to always play football. It's my decision, my style and I am really proud of all of them. When we lose, we lose with our style; when we win, we win with our style.
"I don't know if we are going to get promotion but I'm really proud of all of them. As a coach, you can't be prouder than I am now."

Abdurraouf Eshati admitted collecting information for terrorist purposes.
The 29-year-old was sentenced at London's Old Bailey over the bid to get arms to the war-torn country.
The charge related to two documents on the purchase of ammunition and cargo plane hire.
Judge John Bevan QC said on Tuesday: "It's obvious that his involvement means that it was felt he could be trusted as a confidant in relation to large-scale arms supply."
Eshati was due to stand trial on Monday but changed his plea.
The court was told electronic documents found outlined a plan to send 1,100 tonnes of ammunition to Libya, via a contact in Italy, in support of the Zintan people of the eastern region.
During their investigation, police searched Eshati's room at Wrexham Islamic Cultural Centre where they found a number of letter-headed documents which were blank, apart from a stamp and a signature which the prosecution said was a forger's kit.
It is understood Eshati lived at the mosque and would occasionally lead prayers when no one else was available but he did not take any of the main prayer meetings.
Eshati was caught trying to get to France in the back of a lorry with 19 other people at the port of Dover in Kent on 30 November, last year.
On his mobile phone, police found an invoice from an arms supplier for the sale and delivery of ammunition to Tobruk in Libya and a document about chartering a cargo jet for £163,000 for use in Libya.
Eshati also had images on his phone of militia group activists, a beheading and armaments in action which, the prosecution said, showed his allegiance to the Zintan people.
On his arrest, he told police he had been in Britain since 2009 on a visa and later as an asylum seeker.
Eshati said his father had been a senior figure in the Gaddafi regime and was now in prison in Tripoli while his two brothers had been murdered. This, however, was a false claim.
On Monday, he admitted seeking leave to remain in the UK by deception on or before 14 December 2012, by falsely claiming he was at risk of persecution if returned to Libya.
Dr Ikram Shah from the Wrexham Islamic and Cultural Centre said in a statement the members want to disassociate themselves from Eshati's actions and added they feel betrayed by what he has done.
Speaking after the hearing, Det Ch Supt Terri Nicholson, head of operations at the Metropolitan Police's counter terrorism command, said: "There is no doubt trading arms in this way would endanger the lives of many Libyans, with the potential for use in other conflicts."
The Crown Prosecution Service said Eshati's arrest and the finding of these documents led to Italian authorities discovering large scale illegal arms supplies being imported from eastern Europe to conflict zones in Libya and other places.
It includes guidance on how to manage the big day itself and how to ensure your school gets as much BBC coverage as possible.
As you turn your classrooms into newsrooms, these printable posters, press passes, cut-out-and-make microphone cubes and certificates will help transform your building into a professional news-making environment.
Create your own dedicated web page
Prepare a simple holding page, with a "come back at 1600 GMT on 16 March 2017" message, and send the address of the dedicated web page (URL) to the School Report team. This guide - Prepare your school web page - provides some handy hints and tips for setting up the page.
Tell us what you're working on
The School Report team wants to know what news topics you are looking at. We may be able to offer some help and advice.
Find out more on teacher Jo Debens' blog.
We may even be able to visit your school to help your students turn their idea into a report.
In addition, schools contacting the team before the day may be featured on the School Report channels - streamed on the BBC website on 16 March - or be featured elsewhere on the BBC (e.g. local radio or websites).
Prepare some news features
During previous years, School Reporters have found it useful to prepare a few reports in advance, basing them on news themes which will still be relevant on the News Day in March.
Your reports can be uploaded to your dedicated web page now, or held back until the big News Day.
Inform your local news outlets
Local newspapers, radio and television outlets are always looking to cover interesting events such as School Report News Day.
However, journalists at local papers are often busy and don't have the time to visit your school. Why don't you take the initiative and write the story for them? That way your school stands a good chance of appearing in the paper.
Before News Day in March, you could send in a story about your plans for the day, or you could write up a report afterwards.
Newspapers often refer to stories sent in by the public as press releases - they are details about an event released to the press. You might find some good tips in this guide: How to write a press release.
Plan your News Day schedule
Teachers who have participated in previous years' News Days have found that the day naturally follows the news-making process: find, gather, write and broadcast, and have scheduled activities accordingly.
This timetable, devised by Oldham City Learning Centre, may be a useful template. It describes activities for students creating a TV and a radio bulletin, but may be adapted for students creating text-based reports.
Alternatively, you could use this guide, based on a practice day by Waldegrave Girls School in Twickenham, Middlesex.
Announce School Report in an assembly
Why not tell the rest of the school about School Report during an assembly?
Not only will this encourage students to look at School Reporters' work on the school website on News Day, but it is also a great way to run through your plans ahead of the day. Share your plans for News Day. Who are you interviewing? Which stories are already lined up?
For more ideas take a look at how the 2015 News Day unfolded.
Remind students of the School Report essentials
On the News Day, remind students of the School Report rules:
There's more information about these golden rules in the School Report guide to keeping your news safe and legal.
Dress your newsroom
Print copies of the School Report poster in the "cut out and keep" box at the top of the page and use them to dress your newsroom. You can also make your own School Report microphone cubes using the template provided.
Reward students with certificates
Download a School Report certificate from the "cut out and keep" box at the top of the page and distribute copies to your students at the end of the News Day.
And not forgetting, most importantly - have fun!
The money is to be used for health, education, cross-border trade and hydroelectricity projects, it said.
The announcement comes as World Bank head Jim Yong Kim and UN chief Ban Ki-moon start a tour of the region.
One person was killed when a mortar landed in Goma, a UN spokesman said.
Government and M23 rebel forces have been involved in heavy fighting near Goma since Monday, killing 19 people.
The clashes are the first since the M23 pulled out of the city last year under diplomatic pressure.
The UN says it will speed up efforts to deploy a 3,000-strong intervention force to eastern DR Congo to end the latest conflict.
Some 800,000 people have fled their homes since the M23 launched its rebellion last May.
The World Bank aid package is to support a peace deal signed in February between DR Congo and its neighbours, some of whom are accused of backing the rebels.
"This funding will help revitalize economic development, create jobs, and improve the lives of people who have suffered for far too long," Mr Kim in a statement.
The largest tranche of the aid - $340m - will go towards an 80-megawatt hydroelectric project in Rusumo Falls, providing electricity to Burundi, Rwanda and Tanzania.
Despite its vast mineral wealth, decades of conflict and mismanagement mean most Congolese remain stuck in poverty.
The mortar fell in the Goma neighbourhood of Ndosho, killing one person and injuring four, said UN peacekeeping mission spokesman Madnodje Mounoubai, Associated Press news agency reports.
He said he did not know who fired the mortar.
Campaign group Human Rights Watch researcher Ida Sawyer told Reuters news agency that a two-year-old girl died and three members of her family, including a boy and girl, were wounded.
The BBC's Gabriel Gatehouse in Goma says government and rebel forces have clashed in Mutaho, 10km (6 miles) east of the city for a third day.
Shells and rockets have been fired, he says.
Four government soldiers and 15 rebels were killed in the clashes on Monday, government spokesperson Lambert Mende told the BBC.
Mr Ban is due to visit Goma on Thursday.
The renewed fighting showed the need to speed up the deployment of the intervention brigade so that it would be "fully responsible as soon as possible", Mr Ban said.
The UN approved the creation of the force - made up of troops from South Africa, Tanzania and Malawi - in March to "neutralise" rebels in DR Congo.
The troops will have the most robust mandate ever given to UN peacekeepers to end conflict, officials say.
Mr Ban and Mr Kim are also due to visit Rwanda and Uganda.
Last year, a UN report accused the two countries of backing the M23, an allegation they denied.
On Monday, Rwandan President Paul Kagame told the BBC that UN troops had "in some cases" made the situation in DR Congo worse.
He said any military effort to bring peace to DR Congo needed to be "properly co-ordinated" with political efforts.
Col Muammar Gaddafi famously farted his way through at least one television interview.
But now there's a new master of the undiplomatic discourtesy on the world stage.
The Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte - addressing a gathering of Chinese officials and businessmen here in Beijing - wasn't holding back.
"Americans are loud, sometimes rowdy," he is reported to have said. "Their larynx is not adjusted to civility." And this was just the beginning of the speech.
Unsurprisingly the remarks, including the announcement of the "separation" of his country from the United States, its longstanding ally, went down very well indeed.
For Chinese officials, right up to President Xi Jinping who warmly greeted Mr Duterte in Tiananmen Square just a few hours earlier, it is like all their Christmases have come at once.
For the Americans, it has left them simply baffled.
"It's not clear to us exactly what that means in all its ramifications, so we're going to be seeking a clarification on that," a State Department spokesperson told reporters back in Washington.
There are three possibilities. The first, the one the US is banking on right now, is that it is, in fact, all bluster.
That Mr Duterte, in a bid to ingratiate himself with his Chinese hosts, has been simply playing to the gallery and that, unless and until any formal steps are taken, everyone knows the trade and defence treaties with the US remain firmly in place.
A far more troubling possibility is that Mr Duterte does indeed mean business. Stung by the recent criticism of his human rights records by the US and mindful of the growing military and economic might of China, might his utterances signal something real and substantive in terms of a foreign policy shift?
Chinese ships currently occupy the disputed Scarborough Shoal in the South China Sea and however many international tribunals the Philippines win over the issue they are unlikely to alter the balance of power.
And the Philippines could certainly do with better access to the massive market of 1.3 billion consumers on its doorstep.
But there is a third more complex possibility, that Mr Duterte is trying to have his cake and eat it, to engage in a great power game by playing the US off against China.
It would not be the first time in recent years that a Philippine president has had to calibrate carefully his country's relationship with both superpowers.
There have been plenty of attempts at engaging with China in the past in the hope of putting the principles of the territorial dispute on the backburner in order to seek the mutual benefit of a resource sharing arrangement in the contested waters.
"Your fish is my fish," Mr Duterte told Chinese state TV ahead of this week's visit.
And yet such an approach would require deft diplomatic footwork and, you would think, a need for a careful weighing of words.
And what is even more baffling is that Mr Duterte, despite earlier assurances, appears to have made no attempt on this trip to raise the issue of the fishing rights of the Philippine fishermen currently excluded from their traditional grounds around Scarborough Shoal.
At home, his government also appears to be struggling to make sense of exactly what the strategy is. His trade minister insisted that there will be no formal break in ties with the US.
Another official asked reporters not to try to "interpret" the president's remarks but to wait instead until he returns to Manila.
Are the geopolitics of Asia really about to be turned upside down? Or should we be wary of reading too much into the barrage of insults and rudeness.
Despite Churchill's taunting of de Gaulle referred to earlier, Britain and France remained uneasy allies. Perhaps the US and the Philippines will too.
The alleged offences took place in Leigh Park in Havant between Monday and the early hours of Tuesday.
Hampshire Constabulary is carrying out searches at a property on the housing estate in Park Parade.
The men, aged 20, 36, and 43, from Havant, who are suspected of several sexual offences, were later released from custody pending further inquiries.

Shona Robison said that when she took up her post as health secretary, there was a suggestion only two were needed.
But she said there was now a consensus for trauma centres to be in Aberdeen, Dundee, Glasgow and Edinburgh.
The Conservatives have accused the government of a "complete failure of forward planning".
Look back on the ministerial statement on Holyrood Live.
Scottish Labour called for the health secretary to apologise, but Ms Robison refused to accept the criticism.
She said the £30m network could save around 40 lives a year.
In her ministerial statement, she said the project could also help many more people enjoy an improved quality of life.
The network was originally announced in 2014 and was supposed to open in 2016. But last week it emerged they would not be fully implemented until at least 2020.
However, Ms Robison said the centres in Aberdeen and Dundee could be operational within 12-18 months.
She added: "It was right to take the time to build that consensus rather than push ahead with a model that didn't have that clinical buy-in."
She said that the 6,000 people a year who experience trauma in Scotland already get "first rate" care in accident and emergency departments.
The new network would provide "optimal care" for around 1,100 of the most seriously injured, she added.
General Zahir Zahir gave no reason for his resignation, his spokesman said.
Three South Africans were killed in a Taliban attack on a compound used by a US-based charity on Saturday, the third such attack in the past 10 days.
President Ashraf Ghani, who took power in September, has vowed to bring peace after decades of conflict.
There's been a clear pattern to the Taliban attacks of the past two weeks in the capital. Most have targeted foreigners, military or civilian, whenever and wherever possible.
At first it was the big, heavily fortified compounds on the Jalalabad road where many foreigners live and work, which came under attack. But the militants failed to get inside.
More recently the suicide bombers and gunmen have gone after softer targets, such as the aid agency building which was stormed on Saturday evening leaving three South Africans dead. It had very little protection.
With many Afghans also killed and injured in this spate of attacks, there is an uneasy atmosphere in the capital with people wondering who or what will be targeted next.
It is a set-back for President Ghani who has promised to restore peace to the country. It is also embarrassing for the police, military and intelligence agencies which seem incapable of disrupting the plans of the Taliban suicide bombers.
For now, it's the capital's police chief who seems to have paid the price for this security failure, but there must be other senior officials who bear responsibility.
Gen Zahir was himself the target of an attack in early November, when a suicide bomber infiltrated his offices - supposed to be one of the most secure buildings in Kabul - and killed his deputy. Gen Zahir was not there at the time of the attack.
In a spate of attacks in Kabul this week, two American soldiers were killed on Monday and two British embassy workers were killed on Thursday. Dozens of Afghans have also been killed and injured.
Saturday's attack was on a building used by the Partnership in Academics and Development (PAD), a small US education group.
PAD said on its website that three staff members were killed and several others injured in an attack by several gunmen, one of whom detonated a device.
A family spokeswoman, quoted by AFP news agency, named the three dead as Werner Groenewald, 46, who ran the charity, his daughter Rode, 15, and son Jean-Pierre, 17.
The BBC's Richard Galpin in Kabul says it was the deadliest in a series of suicide strikes in the capital over the past fortnight.
A senior Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid said on Twitter that the target of the attack was a Christian missionary group.
Kabul is regularly subjected to Taliban bombings, with the military, police and government officials all targeted.
This week, Taliban militants also attacked the camp formerly known as Camp Bastion in Helmand province, one month after it was vacated by British forces.
The militants launched an attack late on Thursday night and fighting continued into Friday and on Saturday.
Officials say the militants breached the perimeter fence and accessed a barracks building, killing five Afghan soldiers on Friday. They say that 26 militants were also killed.
On Saturday, in a separate attack on a military base in Sangin in Helmand, 12 Afghan soldiers were killed and one is missing, a spokesman for the Helmand government said.
The Taliban have stepped up attacks in Afghanistan as most foreign combat troops prepare to leave the country next month.
As part of the agreement on the withdrawal of foreign combat troops, some 12,000 Nato soldiers will remain to train and advise Afghan security forces from 1 January.
A separate US-led force will assist Afghan troops in some operations against the Taliban.
Malian officials said they had taken back the strategic central town of Konna, which rebels had secured just a day earlier as they pushed south.
The news came hours after France announced it had begun military operations in support of Mali's army.
Armed groups, some linked to al-Qaeda, took control of northern Mali in April.
The Islamists have sought to enforce an extreme interpretation of Islamic law in the area.
Regional and western governments have expressed growing concern about the security threat from extremists and organised crime.
Announcing France's military intervention, French President Francois Hollande said Islamists had been trying to turn Mali into a "terrorist" state.
He said the intervention complied with international law, and had been agreed with Malian interim President Dioncounda Traore. It would last "as long as necessary", he added.
By Hugh SchofieldBBC News, Paris
The rhetoric out of Paris suggests that from the French point of view, the situation in Mali has taken a dramatic turn for the worse in the last few days. Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said it was vital to stop this new advance by the Islamists.
So it would seem that a country that has been a growing but still peripheral preoccupation for France - and for the West in general - is now at the very centre of their strategic plans.
There is a real fear that if the "terrorists" - as the French government calls them - succeed in taking over Mali, then it will become a rogue state much like the old Afghanistan.
Given the ties of family and trade with France, it would be France to pay the cost if that rogue state began to export its ideology. So a line has been drawn in the Sahel sand. For good or bad, this may well turn out to have been a momentous decision.
French officials gave few operational details. When asked whether there had been French air strikes, Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius confirmed that there had been "an aerial operation".
Residents in Mopti, just south of Konna, told the BBC they had seen French troops helping Malian forces prepare for a counter-offensive against the Islamists.
Mr Traore declared a state of emergency across Mali, which he said would remain in place for an initial period of 10 days.
He used a televised address to call on Malians to unite and "free every inch" of the country.
"Our choice is peace... but they have forced war on us," he said. "We will carry out a crushing and massive retaliation against our enemies."
Late on Friday Malian officials said they gained control of Konna.
"Konna is under our control this evening but we are still conducting mopping-up operations," said Lt Col Diarra Kone, though he warned that some rebels might still be in the town.
The British government expressed its support for the French operation. US officials said Washington was considering providing intelligence and logistical support to French forces.
The west African bloc Ecowas said it was authorising the immediate deployment of troops to Mali "to help the Malian army defend its territorial integrity", AFP reported.
The UN had previously approved plans to send some 3,000 African troops to Mali to recapture the north if no political solution could be found, but that intervention was not expected to happen until September.
Mr Fabius said the aim of the operation was to stop Islamist militants advancing any further.
It was not clear how far the French would go in helping Mali's government retake territory in the north.
At least seven French hostages are currently being held in the region, and Mr Fabius said France would "do everything" to save them.
A spokesman for al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) said he considered the French operation a "Crusader intervention", and told France it would be "would be digging the tombs of [its] sons" if the operation continued, according to the Mauritania-based Sahara Media website.
France ruled Mali as a colony until 1960.
Steve Mackey, chairman of the Rhondda Tunnel Society, said they could not get any major funding until ownership is transferred to Wales.
But a Welsh Government spokeswoman said it was their understanding ownership was not required to take next steps.
She said the economy secretary would seek clarification.
Meanwhile the society has been invited to give a presentation to the European Commission to bid for funding.
The Rhondda Tunnel Society wants the Blaencwm tunnel, in Rhondda Cynon Taff, to Blaengwynfi, in Neath Port Talbot, to be re-opened for use by cyclists and walkers.
The tunnel is currently owned by Highways England, and the Welsh Government was criticised in February for not requesting its transfer.
Mr Mackey said the project had been "going round in circles" because £300,000 was needed for a structural survey to show it is a viable project before the Welsh Government would ask for ownership.
Mr Mackey said: "I don't blame the Welsh Government for looking into this deeply - they're not going to spend money opening it only to find out it's not workable - but I'm sure they could do it quicker.
"I believe Brexit could affect this project. Even if the Welsh Government just gave us a letter of intent [of ownership], we could move forward."
He said a meeting with Economy Secretary Ken Skates had been arranged for 10 January regarding the issue.
But a Welsh Government spokeswoman said: "We have been supportive of the Rhondda Tunnel Society's efforts to re-open the tunnel and in May we arranged a meeting between the society, Highways England and Welsh Government to discuss this project.
"During that meeting, Highways England advised the society on next steps and were very positive about how they could support the society's work to gain a better understanding of the tunnel's condition.
"We are surprised by these comments as our understanding following that meeting was that the transfer of ownership of the tunnel to Welsh Government was not required to undertake next steps.
"The economy secretary has asked officials to speak to Highways England to clarify the position and will be writing to and meeting with the society following that."
Wales MEP Jill Evans, who is setting up the Brussels visit for the society, said she wanted them to meet Michael Cramer, a keen cyclist who is chairman of the transport committee, and those in the European Commission who deal with transport funding, to examine possible applications.
"The ownership of the tunnel is another aspect we would have to discuss, but obviously time is an issue," she said.
"The Rhondda Tunnel Society have done so much work already and I hope that the EU can help to move things forward. It's certainly worth exploring all possibilities.
"As a member of the transport and tourism committee in the European Parliament I know of the increasing interest in cycling holidays and I believe we have something unique to offer."
Surging waters that have already caused extensive damage across central Europe are moving north and east along rivers including the Elbe and Danube.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel has visited areas already hit by the deluge and promised 100m euros (£78m; $130m) in emergency aid.
Meanwhile river levels in the Czech capital Prague have begun to fall.
Large areas of suburban Prague were flooded but metal barriers protecting the historic city centre held as the floods peaked and the high waters moved north towards Germany.
Around 4,000 German troops have been deployed in four states, the military said, reinforcing dykes with sandbags and providing help to thousands of people forced to leave their homes.
By Stephen EvansBBC News, Passau
Chancellor Merkel came bearing gifts. She promised that the federal government would earmark 50 million euros in direct aid to flood affected areas, with the government of Bavaria matching the sum in the region.
That money may have to be spread over a wider area. All the signs were that the waters of the Danube were subsiding, but other rivers further north started to look more threatening.
In Saxony, the Elbe was rising to dangerous levels, as waters poured in from the Czech Republic.
The unanswered question is whether floods are getting worse and more frequent in this region. The two big floods in recent memory were 2002 and today's - both previously predicted to be very rare events.
But the big one before that was in 1954, before concerns about global warming.
The Danube is a busy commercial waterway which is much subject to man-made alteration, both to improve navigation and for waterside development.
This human engineering of the landscape is constantly monitored and debated in this region. The current floods will add to that debate.
The latest cities to be hit include Meissen on the Elbe. Nearby Dresden is preparing for water levels 5m higher than normal.
Officials in Saxony - home to both Meissen and Dresden - have warned that rivers could rise even higher than in the record floods of 2002, when both cities were devastated.
Chancellor Merkel toured some of the worst-hit areas on Tuesday, flying over Bavaria, Saxony and Thuringia by helicopter.
In the stricken Bavarian city of Passau - where waters reached a level not seen in 500 years - she called the floods "an event of historic proportions" and promised 100m euros in emergency aid, half of it from the federal government
"I spoke to residents who are already busy with clean-up work and I am aware that it will take weeks. The damage and loss of income are a long-term problem and therefore our support will not dwindle," she said.
Across Europe at least 12 people have died as a result of the floods. As well as Germany and the Czech Republic, Austria, Switzerland, Poland, Slovakia and Hungary have been affected.
Main roads in many areas have been closed and rail services cut. Thousands of homes are without power.
Hungary has declared a state of emergency as the surging waters move down the River Danube, with the peak expected on Thursday.
The Hungarian capital Budapest and the Slovakian capital Bratislava - both on the Danube - are on alert and flood defences are being reinforced.
In the Czech Republic, a nationwide state of emergency is still in force. Water levels were expected to peak in the north later on Tuesday.
As a precaution, Prague's metro system and central sewage treatment plant were closed, metal flood defences were erected and sandbags built up along the banks of the Vltava.
In Austria, the meteorological service said two months of rain had fallen in just two days.
Shipping was halted on parts of the Danube and Rhine in Germany, and the entire length of the Danube in Austria. The rivers are used heavily to transport commodities such as grain and coal.
The national head coach faces a qualifier against Slovenia at Hampden, four months after a 3-0 defeat at Wembley left the national team in the doldrums.
Of the Scottish-based players selected in the last squad, Craig Gordon, Jack Hamilton, Lee Wallace, James Forrest and John McGinn are all playing regularly. Callum Paterson and Leigh Griffiths are currently injured.
A question mark remains over Scott Brown's continuing involvement after the Celtic midfielder reversed his decision to retire to return to the team for the trip to face England, but he has yet to commit himself further.
Outside Scotland, Strachan currently has the usual mixture of players in form and others out of sorts.
Centre-back has always been an area of concern for Strachan, because of limited options. He has tended to select Russell Martin and Grant Hanley, more often than not, so it will be of some reassurance to the national manager that both played for the full 90 minutes in winning teams at the weekend. Hanley made only his second start for Newcastle United as they defeated Derby County 1-0, while Martin captained Norwich City to their 1-0 win at Cardiff City.
It has been a challenging season at times for Darren Fletcher, but he has always retained the faith of West Brom manager Tony Pulis and the result has been an upturn in form. Fletcher, the club captain, played for the full 90 minutes as Stoke City were beaten 1-0, following on from the midfielder's assist against Middlesbrough in the previous game and a goal against Sunderland before that.
The winning strike against Stoke came from James Morrison, the midfielder's fifth of the season and his third in five games.
Matt Ritchie, too, remains on goalscoring form for Newcastle, delivering the decisive effort against Derby, the winger's eighth goal in the Championship this season and his fourth in three games. Ritchie is also among the leading players for assists in the division, with six so far.
It is still a period of adjustment for Robert Snodgrass following his £10m move from Hull City to West Ham United. The attacking midfielder played for the full 90 minutes, though, in his side's 3-1 win away to Southampton.
Returning to Strachan's options at centre-back, Christophe Berra and Gordon Greer are both playing for the clubs, Ipswich Town and Blackburn Rovers respectively. A 2-2 draw at home to Reading told of Ipswich's mixed form, while Greer lasted 70 minutes in Blackburn's 1-0 win over QPR.
Barry Bannan turned out in central midfield for Sheffield Wednesday, as usual, and was part of a 1-0 victory over Wigan Athletic that kept his side in the Championship play-off places.
There are more troubling concerns for midfielder James McArthur, who lasted 62 minutes in midfield as Crystal Palace were beaten 4-0 at home by Sunderland, a result that prompted a dressing-room visit from the chairman, Steve Parish, afterwards and a demand from the manager, Sam Allardyce, for the players to be at training on Sunday morning at 7am.
Chris Martin can be comfortable about his immediate future since Steve McClaren wants the striker to extend his Derby County contract, but for now he remains on loan at Fulham, who lost 1-0 at home to Birmingham City.
A new manager and new circumstances for David Marshall at Hull City. The goalkeeper has been relegated to the bench in favour of Eldin Jakupovic and hasn't started a game since 2 January.
Stephen Kingsley remains on the periphery at Swansea City and was an unused substitute in the team's 2-1 defeat by Manchester City, having not made the match squad for the previous two league games.
A prominent role also still eludes Oliver Burke, who came on for 17 minutes as Leipzig lost 1-0 away to Borussia Dortmund.
Ikechi Anya also came off the bench for Derby, his second successive appearance as a substitute, and he has started only one of their five Championship games since the turn of the year.
For a striker, Steven Fletcher's timing could be better. He was sent off against Brighton last month and still has one match of this three-game suspension to serve after the weekend. His place in the side has been taken by new signing and Scotland colleague Jordan Rhodes, who provided the assist for Ross Wallace in the 1-0 win over Wigan.
Strachan has already spoken of his admiration for Tom Cairney, having watched a number of Fulham games in recent weeks, and the midfielder is widely expected to be called up for the next squad. Now Fulham captain, and playing in a central role, he has consistently impressed.
Missing out on the original squad for the England game last November seemed to spur Matt Phillips, since he went on a run of starts that delivered three goals and six assists in the Premier League for West Brom. The winger clocked in another 87 minutes against Stoke.
Andrew Robertson missed out against England through injury, but his form was impressive enough for Burnley to lodge a £10m bid during the January transfer window. That was rejected and the left-back played for 90 minutes as Hull defeated Liverpool 2-0.
It would be unsurprising if there was also a recall for Charlie Mulgrew, since the former Celtic defender has become a regular starter for Blackburn, mostly at left-back but also in central midfield. He could also offer an option at centre-back.
Ryan Fraser has taken time to settle to life in the Premier League, but in Bournemouth's last six games he has delivered two goals and three assists, including one in the 6-3 defeat away to Everton.
Having found himself out of the picture at Hull, goalkeeper Allan McGregor secured a loan move to Cardiff in the transfer window and has started the last five games, conceding four goals. | A loyalist supergrass charged with 212 offences, including five murders, may seek to have some charges dropped on the basis of having acted as a state agent, a court has heard.

Machynlleth Town Council banked £71,663 of public money before transferring it to April's fund - something it did not have the authority to do.
Auditor BDO said money offered by the public should have been refused.
The council said it was holding a meeting on 24 August to discuss the report's recommendations.
Y Plas, where the council is based in Machynlleth, became a hub for the search for April in October 2012, with people wanting to donate money.
The report said: "The council had no power to collect this money or to establish a bank account for its retention, but ultimately they did not intend to collect the money, they were just given it by the public.
"When people came into the office and gave them money they should not have accepted the money."
The disappearance of April in 2012 sparked the biggest search in UK police history.
In May 2013, Mark Bridger was convicted of her murder and was given a whole life sentence.
A judge branded him a "pathological liar" and "a paedophile"..
The report also drew attention to "failures in governance arrangements and inadequacies in financial management and internal control" at the council.
It found the council failed to complete its annual accounting statements and submit its annual return on time for each of the past six years.
It said the former clerk's "failure to maintain proper records" resulted in the loss of £5,073 when VAT was not reclaimed - 2% of the council's total annual budget.
The report said the new clerk had "worked to improve internal controls and bring the accounts up to date". | Money collected by a town council after the murder of April Jones was outside its powers and should not have happened, an audit report has said. | 37,107,824 | 379 | 30 | false |
A total of 28 people have been executed so far this year, Death Penalty Information Center (DPIC) figures show.
Death sentences dropped 33% from last year's historic low, with only 49 people sentenced to death. For the first time since 1995, the number of people on death row fell below 3,000.
Only six states carried out executions in 2015 - 13 of those were in Texas.
Six capital punishments were carried out in Missouri - which in September was reported to be executing its death row inmates faster than any other state in the country - and five in Georgia.
Texas, Missouri and Georgia accounted for 86% of all executions, says the DPIC, a group that opposes the death penalty and tracks executions.
Death sentences have been steadily declining in the US over the past 15 years, the DPIC says.
Its executive director, Robert Dunham, said that the use of the death penalty was becoming "increasingly rare and increasingly isolated" throughout the US.
"These are not just annual blips in statistics, but reflect a broad change in attitudes about capital punishment across the country," Mr Dunham said.
The DPIC figures revealed:
Six death row prisoners were exonerated of all charges this year, one each in Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi and Texas. Since 1973, a total of 156 inmates have been exonerated and freed from death row.
Critics say there are inherent problems in how the death penalty is meted out in the US. Each state has individual laws about what types of murder are eligible for the death penalty - and within those states, similar crimes might be treated differently depending on the prosecutor.

Why is the US Supreme Court reviewing the lethal injection?
Increased spending on cars, furniture, clothing and building materials led to a 0.9% rise in overall sales compared with February, the figures show.
The figures suggest that shoppers are returning to stores after an unseasonably cold winter.
Core sales - which strip out spending on cars, petrol, building materials and restaurants - rose 0.3%.
Economists say that sales should continue to climb because of a year-long increase in the number of people in work, and lower petrol prices.
The unemployment rate has fallen to 5.5%, and the US economy has added about 250,000 jobs per month during the past year, leading to around three million more people in work.
At the same time, petrol has fallen to $2.39 (£1.62) a gallon, which is $1.30 cheaper than a year ago, according to AAA's Daily Fuel Gauge.
The total number of fatalities represent an increase of 4.6% on the previous year.
More than half of the people killed in more than 500,000 road accidents last year were aged 15-34.
Road accidents are common in India, often due to poor driving or badly maintained roads and vehicles. Experts blame poorly designed roads.
A report released by India's ministry of road transport says:
Transport minister Nitin Gadkari said there is an "urgent need" to improve road infrastructure as the numbers showed road accidents were one of the single biggest causes of death in India.
"Accidents are killing more people in India than terrorism or natural disasters and yet we never talk about them," Mr Gadkari said.
"It saddens me that there has been a negligible impact on reducing the number of deaths despite our best efforts in the past two years," he said.
Mr Gadkari was quoted by the AFP news agency as saying his ministry was working to expand the country's highway network from 96,000 to 200,000km (60,000 to 124,000 miles) to ease the burden on the roads.
Road accidents shave 3% off the country's GDP every year, he added.
India's highway of death
If no-one helps you after a car crash in India, this is why
The ministry said it is trying to improve poorly designed roads, identify vulnerable spots, and deploy electronic surveillance to deter traffic offences.
It is also in talks with state governments over a new road safety bill, which will be tabled in the next session of the parliament.
The proposed law will crack down on traffic offences and suggests steep penalties for offenders, including minimum seven-year jail terms in accidents that result in deaths.
Dancing With The Stars' Gleb Savchenko will join alongside Italian dance champion Giovanni Pernice and eight-times South African Latin American champion Otlile Mabuse.
Favourites Ola Jordan, Brendan Cole, Anton Du Beke and Kristina Rihanoff will be back.
But Iveta Lukosiute and Trent Whiddon will not be returning.
And Robin Windsor, who had to pull out of last year's series due to a back injury, will also not feature in the forthcoming series.
Lukosiute, who partnered rugby player Thom Evans last year, has been on the show for three years.
She said it was a "pleasure to be part of this wonderful show".
She said she will focus this year on her dance school in New York but "will be more than happy to stay involved with the show in the future".
Australian Trent, who had previously appeared on Australian and American versions of the show, was brought in last year to replace the injured Windsor.
As partner to one of last year's favourites, singer Pixie Lott, he was often top of the leader board.
He said he "was very happy to be part of last season and very thankful for the opportunity".
Windsor said he was "devastated" to miss out on last year's series due to injury.
Today he tweeted his sadness at leaving.
Fans have been tweeting their dismay at losing him.
Lisa Riley, who partnered Windsor in 2012, tweeted he would be "a huge loss to the programme".
"Sad day today finding out the PHENOMENAL @Robinwindsor will not be back on Strictly!He will be a HUGE loss to the programme! Love him"
There had been a lot of press speculation at the end of the last series suggesting Jordan might not return to the show.
Jordan - whose husband James was formerly on the show - had signed up for the C4 reality show The Jump but she was injured before the programme began earlier this year.
She underwent knee surgery - amid fears for her dancing career - but is returning again to join the 16-strong line-up this autumn.
Also back is Kevin Clifton along with his sister Joanne and fiance Karen Hauer.
He tweeted that he would miss the three departing dancers, adding that they had all been a "pleasure to work with".
The show returns to BBC One for its 13th series in the autumn when the celebrity line-up will be revealed.

It will become one of 10 "sound preservation centres" that will work with the British Library to protect rare and unique recordings as part of a £18.8m project.
In Wales alone, 5,000 items will be digitised.
Lona Mason, visual images librarian at the library, said it was "a race against time" to save the recordings.
"They're all on various formats, from old wax cylinder recordings, vinyl, tape recordings and cassettes, and they're vulnerable because they're decaying," she told the Newyddion 9 programme.
"Also, we don't have the machines to play these type of formats anymore."
The Welsh material will include interviews with Welsh migrants to North America and Patagonia, dialect recordings, interviews with industry workers, their families and the community, archives of Welsh traditional music and political speeches by national politicians.
Linda Tomos, The National Library of Wales' chief executive, said: "This is great news for sound collections in Wales. The National Library is delighted to be part of this important project and is grateful to the Heritage Lottery Fund for their support in making this project possible.
"This project will significantly contribute towards developing skills, providing training and preserving our sound heritage."
The British Library estimates that 500,000 recordings in total could be saved via the project, called Unlocking Our Sound Heritage.
When it comes to agriculture in the Midlands the poultry business is the second most valuable slice of our farming pie. It's behind dairy at number one but at £207m it's worth more than wheat, cattle or fruit.
The Cargill plant is a huge part of that story.
But most of us don't like to think too closely about where our chicken, lamb or beef actually comes from and perhaps not surprisingly the companies that produce it recognised that fact. They don't tend to go about shouting too loudly about what they do.
So I was pleasantly surprised that this time they said "yes" to us filming.
And they allowed us in at a very interesting time for the company. There's a revamped multi-million pound production line, a new boss just arrived from Kansas in America and some difficult questions for the poultry industry in general about the infection rates of a nasty food poisoning bug.
Cargill has much to be proud about. It's a Midlands success story with a huge plant (which a long time ago used to be branded as "Sun Valley") in the middle of a £35m expansion programme, employing more than 2,000 people. In uncertain times rearing chicken is a good option for farmers near the plant looking to diversify. For consumers affordable, good quality chicken is a very popular choice.
There are problems for the poultry industry however. Not least a food poisoning bug called campylobacter which is the main cause of food poisoning in the UK. A report earlier this year from the Food Standards Agency (FSA) found this bug on almost three quarters of all supermarket chickens. One expert called it a "national disgrace".
Campylobacter is certainly serious. It is also common and found all over the place which means it's easy to pick up but hard for companies like Cargill to get rid of. Since the FSA report was published the entire industry has been looking hard at what it can do to reduce the levels in our raw chicken.
Initially that's meant concentrating on the farm end of things and improving staff training and procedures.
But companies like Cargill have also been working on introducing new technology to the chicken production line. Killing campylobacter is actually really simple, it can't survive extreme heat or cold. But the tricky bit is blasting freshly butchered meat with very hot steam or an icy blast and making sure you don't damage the meat in the process. Chicken that's safe but has the consistency of leather boots is no use to anyone.
Cargill is now installing newly developed technology that will use steam and ultrasound to kill any lurking bacteria while preserving the quality of the meat. They showed us the space in the production line where the machine will go. But even before it starts work they say they have already managed to achieve a reduction in campylobacter rates. The Food Standards Agency will shortly start a new survey to see how the whole industry is doing.
The big question for me as a reporter and fan of eating chicken was how would I feel when I went to see the slaughter process? This is an important part of my job as rural affairs correspondent and I have visited several slaughter houses. Here they use a process called gas stunning. The live chickens move through a deep pit filled with increasing concentrations of carbon dioxide. First they go to sleep, then they suffocate. The whole process is monitored by staff and a government vet.
Cargill call this a world class facility and processes like gas stunning could well be exported to the rest of the group across the world. It compares very favourably to other older methods of large-scale chicken slaughter which involve live birds being hung up by their feet and dipped head-first into an electrified bath of water.
So what are the thoughts of the new boss Mary Thompson? Freshly arrived from Kansas she was very clear when I asked her what the plan for the whole site was.
"Growth" she said.
And for the staff and farmers who work with Cargill that's good news.
Wednesday's clashes happened in the town of al-Bab, which Turkey is helping rebels take from IS control.
A further 33 Turkish soldiers were reported wounded.
It is the Turkish military's biggest loss in a single day since launching its military operation in Syria in August.
The army said IS used multiple suicide bombs, with 138 IS fighters killed in the fighting. This toll could not be verified independently.
As another key Syrian battleground - Aleppo - appears close to coming fully under Syrian government control, the fight for al-Bab has intensified.
The strategic town - which is about 20km (12 miles) from the Turkish border - has been the focus of the four-month Turkish offensive, aimed at pushing back IS and Kurdish forces.
Turkey says its military operation has wrought heavy losses on IS and that it is close to breaking the group's resistance in al-Bab, the BBC's Middle East analyst, Sebastian Usher says.
The question remains as to how far it wishes to go in Syria - and whether it will play a role in the eventual operation to drive IS out of its de facto capital in the country, Raqqa, our correspondent adds.

The bottom two teams in the Chinese Super League, which is at the midway stage of its season, will be relegated.
During his two seasons with Anderlecht, Acheampong won two league titles - in 2014 and 2017.
China's transfer window closes on 14 July.
Sebastian Zuchlinski, 39, was found injured in Davenport Street, Bolton, on 6 February and died at the scene. Post-mortem tests confirmed he had suffered multiple knife wounds.

General Michael Hayden was talking off-the-record to journalists by phone when he was overheard by another passenger, a former political activist.
Tom Matzzie said he waited half an hour before live-tweeting comments about US renditions and a "famous BlackBerry".
The comments went viral on news websites and late-night television.
Gen Hayden, who was alerted to the Twitter feed within about 15 minutes, then offered an interview to Mr Matzzie, who is now head of a company called Ethical Electric.
"I just had a very nice conversation with Michael Hayden. He was a gentleman and we disagree," Mr Matzzie later tweeted.
The two men were on a high-speed Acela train travelling from Washington, DC to New York late on Thursday afternoon.
Mr Matzzie began tweeting details of the conversations from what he said was a distance of 8ft (about 2.4m) away.
"On Acela listening to former NSA spy boss Michael Hayden give 'off record' interviews. I feel like I'm in the NSA. Except I'm in public," Mr Matzzie's Twitter feed read.
The National Security Agency has come under intense criticism after revelations by ex-CIA contractor Edward Snowden that US intelligence conducted extensive web and phone surveillance on targets at home and abroad.
Mr Snowden now faces espionage charges in the US and has been granted temporary asylum in Russia.
Gen Hayden has defended his former agency's operations in the past and Mr Matzzie wrote that Thursday's interviews were also focused on NSA surveillance of foreign allies.
As the former head of MoveOn.org Political Action, Mr Matzzie once campaigned against the US-led war in Iraq.
He made clear his own feelings about the former NSA and CIA chief with a tweet reading, "There is a faint smell of sulfur on the train."
He said Gen Hayden asked journalists to refer to him as a "former senior administration official" for comments described as "disparaging" to President Barack Obama's administration.
Gen Hayden later gave a statement to the Reuters news agency saying he "didn't criticise" the president.
"I actually said these are very difficult issues. I said I had political guidance, too, that limited the things that I did when I was director of NSA. Now that political guidance is going to be more robust. It wasn't a criticism," Gen Hayden said.
The 27-year-old returned to the UK this summer, four years after leaving Dundee United for Lech Poznan followed by a spell at Konyaspor.
"There's so many different aspects of the game you see, different points of view from different countries," Douglas told BBC WM.
"Being back here is a new adventure again, a new manager, new ideas."
In 2010, before joining Dundee United, Douglas was playing to just hundreds of fans at Queen's Park; five years later he was lifting the Ekstraklasa title with Lech Poznan in Poland in front of crowds more than 40,000.
"I went over and saw the place and it looked exciting," Douglas said.
"I did well and then the opportunity came to go to Turkey. At that point, I was probably a lot more open-minded to go anywhere, so I embraced it.
"It was more than just football, it was a chance to see parts of the world you would never see.
"It's definitely opened my eyes - it's a big world out there, it's not just limited to Britain."
Douglas, who made his Wolves debut in Saturday's 1-0 win over Middlesbrough. is now hoping to bring his experience to the Molineux dressing room - and still hopes one day to receive a first Scotland call-up.
"It's an exciting time to be at Wolves," he said.
"They've clearly shown that they have big ambitions, which as a player is great because it gives us a lot of big targets to hit.
"It's everybody's ambition to play for their country. If it happens, it happens. I just need to focus on doing well for myself and for my club."
The judges said the consent of the father was not required if the mother did not wish to disclose his identity.
Monday's ruling overturned earlier court orders which said a woman needed the father's consent if she wanted to be a legal guardian of her child.
Women's rights activists have welcomed the ruling and called it "progressive".
The case was filed by a Delhi mother who had asked the court's permission to become her child's "legal guardian" without informing the father who, she said, did not know about the child's existence.
A trial court and the Delhi high court had earlier ruled that she needed to disclose the father's name and get his consent for the purpose.
But on Monday, Justices Vikramjit Sen and Abhay Manohar Sapre said there was "no need to insist on the father's name" and that in the case of an unwed mother, her "name is sufficient".
The judgement has been praised by lawyers and activists:
Ed Miliband's foray into the topic last Friday in a speech at Chatham House was lost amid an acrimonious dispute over who should bear responsibility for the rising death toll of migrants crossing the Mediterranean.
In fact, the next British government will face one of the most challenging periods in British foreign policy since the aftermath of 9/11 and will have constrained resources with which to do so. British politicians will need to take time from their daunting economic dossier to address five critical external challenges to British prosperity and security.
First is how to stem the chaos from the multiple interconnected challenges across the Middle East. The next UK government will be one of the parties negotiating the final terms of a potential nuclear deal with Iran, which, if agreed, could serve as a prelude to broader negotiations on regional security.
But an agreement could also lead to an intensification of the conflict between Saudi Arabia and its Sunni allies, on the one hand, and Iran and its allies in Syria, Lebanon and Yemen, on the other, with Iraq caught somewhere in the middle. The UK, along with other permanent members of the UN Security Council, could find itself serving as one of the guarantors of the security of the Gulf states. Any UK government is also likely to maintain its role conducting air strikes as part of the international coalition against IS.
Should the regional situation deteriorate further, the UK could be pushed into increasing the numbers of migrants that it accepts on to its shores from the region (currently in the hundreds, swelling potentially to the tens of thousands). It will also be a key contributor to the maritime operations seeking to stem the flood of refugees across the Mediterranean.
The UK will also hope that the situation in the occupied Palestinian territories does not deteriorate following Benjamin Netanyahu's electoral victory in March. The possibility of Palestinians abandoning the idea of a two-state solution could embroil the UK, along with its EU counterparts, into a highly charged diplomatic negotiation.
Second, should economic sanctions, imposed on Russia after its actions in Ukraine, be renewed? If the ceasefire holds in eastern Ukraine, then pressure will build for the EU to lift these sanctions, even if the Minsk agreement is not fully implemented and the Ukrainian government is unable to re-establish control of its border with Russia. There are divergent views across the EU over the value and efficacy of sanctions. Angela Merkel has taken the lead in building a fragile consensus that has held up to now. But she will need British support if she is to maintain a tough EU line on President Putin.
Alongside these two major security considerations lie a number of other important international challenges. Third on the list is the climate summit in Paris in December. The UK has long been a leader in tackling climate change, and its ideas on how to prevent the growth in global use of coal will be especially important in Paris. A deal is crucial to have the best chance of keeping global temperature rises to within two degrees by the end of the century.
The fourth priority will be the completion of the negotiations to create a Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) by early 2016, before the US presidential elections enter their decisive phase. The coalition government has been one of the main champions of TTIP, seeing it as a debt-free economic stimulus to the UK and Europe, as well as a geopolitical counterweight to China's growing international economic power. But the agreement faces fierce popular opposition across the EU including in the UK, where a majority of voters suspects that US companies will use it to undermine European social and environmental standards.
In contrast, British and European voters appear indifferent to the fifth major challenge: the growing influence of China. The UK government has welcomed Chinese investment into EU markets - in 2014 the UK took $5.1bn (£3.3bn) out of a total of $18bn (£11.7bn), the highest in the EU. But China's growing importance as a source of investment coincides with an increasingly assertive Chinese approach towards its claims of sovereignty over several small islands in the South China Sea.
While the UK would prefer to focus on China's economic potential, Japan is seeking greater engagement from the UK as a security partner in the region. And with the United States serving as the main guarantor of regional security, the next UK government could be forced to take some difficult decisions on whether to risk economic opportunity on the altar of alliance solidarity.
As important as they are, these five issues will pale into insignificance if the Conservative Party is able to form a government after the election and sets the clock running on an in-out referendum on Britain's continuing membership of the EU in 2017. In this case, British ministers will have little time to dedicate to this pressing dossier of international challenges and will need to focus all of their efforts instead on securing the best possible deal from their EU counterparts in order to be able to campaign to remain in the EU. If such a deal can be secured, then they will face a no less daunting task of convincing an often eurosceptic British public of the merits of staying in.

Listen to a foreign policy special debate from Chatham House on The World Tonight.
The uneasiness began with an unorthodox overhaul of senior staff positions, and escalated into a simmering revolt against a controversial policy seen as cutting to the core of the department's work and values.
In Mr Tillerson's inbox is a "dissent cable" opposing President Trump's temporary ban on refugees and travellers from seven majority Muslim nations, signed by more than 1,000 foreign service staff.
The ban was imposed in order to review security checks, but the cable argues that the way it's being carried out will be ineffective and counterproductive. More than that, it says the executive order betrays fundamental principles of equality, openness and non-discrimination.
"We're sworn to defend and protect the constitution," said one official who'd signed the document, "and are duty bound to speak out when constitutional values are at stake."
Rex Tillerson - the wild card diplomat
Diplomats' dissent falls on deaf ears
Mr Tillerson, who comes with years of business experience at Exxon Mobil but none in government or diplomacy, will need to find a way to both address such deep concerns and to work with a Trump White House bent on shaking up the system with quick pronouncements of change.
And he'll be doing so with a lack of experienced personnel at the top, including those who would oversee the implementation of this controversial policy.
"Why would you get rid of the heads of administration and consular affairs when you've just done something that affects so many visa and documentation issues?" muses Richard Boucher, a long-time career ambassador.
Mr Boucher has seen administrations come and go - he served as a spokesman or deputy spokesmen in six of them, both Republican and Democrat.
It's perfectly normal, he says, to clean house at the top during a transition. What isn't normal is the way this administration went about it: abruptly, without overlap or immediate replacement, clearing out management as well as policy positions.
Of approximately 40 posts that need Senate approval, only six or seven have been filled, according to Tom Countryman.
Until Friday, he was the assistant secretary of state for international security and non-proliferation, expecting to retire sometime later in the year.
So he was surprised to be told that his retirement would begin in two days. He cut short a trip to Amman, where he was discussing nuclear non-proliferation in the Middle East, cancelled a planned meeting in Rome, and flew home to clear out his desk.
In most cases there are capable deputies running the show, he says, but the "vacuum" at the very top will make it difficult for Rex Tillerson to "get a running start".
The Texan oilman has been hobbled at the starting gate with delays over his confirmation, leaving old timers and newcomers in the department warily adjusting to each other.
Career diplomats have said some of the new officials don't tend to engage, keeping the doors to their offices closed.
Trump border policy: Who's affected?
One employee fresh off the Trump campaign described co-workers as "experienced" and "great assets" but said she'd been forewarned that the scene could be "liberal and cliquey".
But the opposition to the immigration order is much more than a culture clash.
"I've never heard of anything close to this [number of signatures]," says Jon Finer, who handled such cables in his position as director of policy planning for the former Secretary of State John Kerry.
The dissent channel is an established avenue for diplomats to express alternative viewpoints without fear of retaliation. In some years it's barely used, in others there's a lot of traffic - like during the Vietnam War, and the conflicts in Bosnia, Iraq and Syria.
The BBC first heard about the cable from diplomatic sources overseas. As the document circulated informally between foreign missions and Washington headquarters, it grew to 155 pages of signatures, according to a source close to the process.
Officials said it was fuelled by the distress of people on the frontlines charged with implementing a policy that had been sprung without warning or consultation, leaving them to deal with confusing details and navigate the impact on individuals and relations with foreign countries.
Mr Tillerson has not clarified his position on the executive order, but the White House has taken a tough line.
Spokesman Sean Spicer said dissenters "should either get with the programme or they can go", although he later said they had the right to speak out but not to refuse implementation of a lawful order.
There've been no reports of such obstruction, but some who agreed with the sentiment of the memo chose not to sign because they were afraid the new administration would take retaliatory measures, one career officer told the BBC.
Tom Countryman said it would be important for the new secretary of state to make clear he'd protect his employees from any retribution.
In a speech at his goodbye party, Mr Countryman pushed back against the anger, encouraging his colleagues to stay in their positions, "because a foreign policy without professionals is - by definition - an amateur foreign policy. You will help to frame and make the choices".
Other administrations have come in suspicious of the state department because it works with foreigners, he told the BBC, "and for a party that's xenophobic, that's a real suspicion".
"But every other administration and president has come to rely on the foreign service and I hope this one will do the same… Early signs are not encouraging."
Still Rex Tillerson has a reputation for competence, for relying on experts and for trusting the people who work for him. And state department officials are relieved to finally have someone at the helm.
"I think many in the department have high hopes that having him on board will help address some of the problems of the past week and they will work hard with him toward that end," said Mr Finer. "But he will also come in with some rare if not unique challenges off the bat in the category of reassurance, starting in his own building."
The former Open champion from Northern Ireland will lead the European team at Hazeltine in September.
"I'm dedicating all of my time to our Ryder Cup preparations and the US Open is not the place to be when your game isn't 100%," said the 47-year-old.
"I'm very sorry to miss Oakmont but I'm sure it will be a brilliant week."
He added that he will be watching the tournament "very closely".
An inquest jury earlier this week found the use of a Taser to restrain Jordon Begley was a factor in the 23-year-old's death in Manchester in 2013.
Jurors concluded police had fired the stun gun at him "inappropriately and unreasonably" at a house in Gorton.
The National Police Chiefs' Council said it "raises some concern" about the devices, fired 1,724 times in 2014.
Factory worker Mr Begley died in hospital two hours after being hit by a Taser when police were called to his home during a row with neighbours on 10 July 2013.
The inquest in Manchester found that the use of the 50,000-volt weapon and his restraint by Greater Manchester Police (GMP) officers had "more than materially contributed" to a package of stressful factors leading to factory worker Mr Begley's death later from a cardiac arrest.
The National Police Chiefs Council (NPCC) has asked for an independent analysis of the medical evidence in the case to decide whether safety advice about the weapons needs to be amended.
Monday's landmark verdict is believed to be the first time a UK jury has found that a Taser contributed to somebody's death.
GMP Assistant Chief Constable Dawn Copley said she had decided to restrict the operational duties of the officers involved.
Tasers were used 10,062 times in 2014, an increase from 6,649 in 2010, but marginally down from 10,380 in 2013.
Officers used the highest "fired" setting, which sends an electric shock which incapacitates the victim, 1,724 times last year. The stun setting, which only sends out painful shocks, was used 256 times.
Police in London use Tasers more than any other force, with 1,962 uses last year, with officers triggering the most powerful "fire" shot 219 times.
The West Midlands was next with 1,573 uses, and the North West - which includes Greater Manchester Police - was third with 1,447.
Police in the North East resorted to the stun gun the least, using it 252 times.
Amnesty International spokesman Oliver Sprague branded the increased use of Tasers as "extremely worrying".
He said: "We need more clarity on how and why these weapons are used. The statistics on their own tell us nothing about whether they are used correctly or not. Without such detail, these figures are not fit for purpose.
"The precise circumstances over when a Taser is drawn or discharged can be - quite literally - a matter of life and death.
"We're not saying that Taser doesn't have a role to play but it must be considered as a weapon of last resort."
Policing Minister Mike Penning said: "The government is clear that any use of Tasers must be lawful, proportionate and necessary in all the circumstances.
"This data makes the police's use of Taser and firearms more transparent and allows the public to see how these sensitive powers are being used.
"We welcome the NPCC's decision to ask [for a] review [of] medical assessments. There is no suggestion that their current assessment is outdated but it should be refreshed in light of recent cases so that it supports operational guidance and training."
The 26-year-old joined Boro for £1.5m in January 2014 after four years at Peterborough.
He scored 10 goals in 50 appearances last season as Boro lost to Norwich in the Championship play-off final.
"Lee is a player who we are excited about and will get fans off their seats," said Bournemouth chief executive Neill Blake.

The Briton, 23, had two set points on his own serve to force a decider but could not convert, and Robredo won the third-round match 7-6 (8-6) 6-1 4-6 7-5 in three hours and 13 minutes.
Robredo, who struggled with a leg injury in the closing stages, fought back superbly from 5-3 down in the fourth set to claim victory.
Evans, ranked 179th, earned £60,000 in prize money for his efforts and enough points to get close to the world's top 150, but missed out on a possible dream fourth-round match against Roger Federer.
"It was a tough one, especially to go down in the fourth set after serving for it and having two set points," Evans told BBC Radio 5 live.
"I felt in pretty much total control of the match. The last point is always the hardest one and I couldn't get that last point of the set to take it to a fifth.
"I just played two really loose points - that's all it was. They came at the wrong time. I just have to learn on that for next time."
It was the British number three's sixth match in 10 days at Flushing Meadows after coming through three rounds of qualifying, then beating 11th seed Kei Nishikori and world number 52 Bernard Tomic.
He had never won a match in the main draw of a Grand Slam tournament before New York, and playing under lights on the Louis Armstrong Stadium, albeit in front of a sparse crowd, was a far cry from the Challenger events he is more used to.
Evans impressed in the opening set but 31-year-old Robredo's experience told as he edged it in the tie-break, then raced through the second in just 28 minutes.
Defeat was not far away for Evans at 4-4 in the third but he got the vital break with a sharp backhand volley, pumping his fist as he made his way back to the chair, and served out the set to love with an ace.
"I was sure the match was heading to a fifth set but Dan Evans just tightened up. After missing those set points in the fourth, he started rushing a bit, showed his inexperience and made a couple of bad shot choices.
"It is such a shame for him, but once he gets over the disappointment there is no doubt that there are so many positives. It looks like his career is going to go to another level after this tournament."
Things seemed to be turning Evans's way when Robredo spent the next two changeovers having his left thigh massaged, but the Spaniard fought magnificently in the fourth set.
Evans was bristling with positive intent, moving forward at every opportunity, and twice broke to go ahead, but, serving at 5-3, 40-15, the nerves appeared to bite and he gave the set points up with a double fault and an error.
Robredo sensed his chance and pounded away from the baseline, drawing two more errors to recover the game and, after a solid hold, the pressure was quickly back on Evans.
From standing on the verge of a fifth set, Evans was now serving to stay in the match, and a wayward drop shot and a double fault brought Robredo to match point.
He closed in on the net to chase down another drop shot and leapt upon the Briton's response to angle away the volley and bring Evans's amazing US Open campaign to a sudden end.
"It's been a great experience, a great learning curve," added Evans, who heads to Croatia next for Great Britain's Davis Cup tie on 13-15 September.
"I can definitely play with these guys so I should be confident going into the next tournaments."
The U's survival hopes look slim as they currently sit 10 points from safety with six games to go.
"It's all very well me sitting here saying I know who I want to keep," Keen told BBC Radio Essex.
"There will be a lot of external influences throughout the summer depending on what league we're in."
Colchester are unbeaten in their last three games and travel to 20th-placed Blackpool on Saturday.
"It's very difficult for me to say 'I want to keep him, him and him, those contracts are sorted and we're all good for next year,'" added Keen. "I can't see a scenario where that's going to happen.
"I can see a scenario where players in contract will be sought after by other teams. Players out of contract will have choices to make.
"There are very good players in contract, so we'll just have to wait and see what happens in the summer."
Scores here and elsewhere had both teams going down at different points, but Peterborough's 3-2 loss at Crystal Palace meant they drop into League One.
Chris O'Grady's low shot had put Barnsley in front, only for Jermaine Beckford to equalise for the hosts.
Jason Scotland restored Barnsley's lead but James Vaughan had the final word.
Vaughan's 82nd-minute equaliser would have condemned Barnsley to League One until news filtered through that Palace had scored a third against relegation rivals Posh, at which point it appeared as though both sets of players were happy to maintain the status quo.
Despite being in a position that would have sent them down during the course of the afternoon, Huddersfield finished in 19th place - 10 points off a Championship play-off place and four points clear of the bottom three
The visitors had dominated early possession and looked the more assured side, so it was no surprise when O'Grady gave them the lead in the 14th minute.
Town defender Peter Clarke slipped when Barnsley midfielder David Perkins played the ball into the penalty area and O'Grady had time to pick his spot and curl a low right-footed shot inside the far post.
Huddersfield began to get a foothold in the game, but they had to wait until the 53rd minute to equalise, substitute Danny Ward slipping the ball through for Beckford, who clipped a fine finish inside Luke Steele's left-hand post.
Scotland then headed Barnsley back in front in the 75th minute. O'Grady's deft pass sent Perkins clear down the left and his precision cross was nodded home by the former Ipswich striker to send the visiting fans into raptures. The joy did not last.
Town substitute Lee Novak had been on the pitch for only a few seconds when his pass set up Vaughan, whose low finish flew in via a deflection off Steele. Tykes midfielder Tomasz Cywka was then sent on for Dawson with five minutes left as Barnsley scrambled for one last finale.
Scotland failed to connect when poised to turn the ball home and Cywka fired straight at Smithies, but with news of Palace's late goal sending Peterborough down, both sets of players played out the last few minutes without further incident.
Barnsley manager David Flitcroft:
"Mission Impossible achieved.
"We've beaten some incredible football teams and Mission Impossible can only be achieved by special people.
"Forget the football. Forget the quality, the disparity in this league, what we've achieved there is done by a group of special people and a special management team which has achieved something quite remarkable."
Huddersfield boss Mark Robins:
"It was the hardest 90 minutes that I've ever had to endure without a doubt.
"We were a million miles from our best, but we got what we needed at the end of it.
"The game doesn't really matter. It was the outcome that counted. When you've got a cup final, you've just got to get what you need.
"The job David Flitcroft has done is nothing short of miraculous because they were dead and buried in January."

Ian Stewart, 56, said Helen Bailey had been snatched by two men who blackmailed him for £500,000.
He told St Albans Crown Court he spoke to her on the phone four days later and she told him: "I love you".
The 56-year-old denies murdering his fiancee, whose body was found at their home in Hertfordshire.
He told the court he had been subjected to a series of demands by her alleged tormentors, involving threats against Ms Bailey and his two sons.
Cross-examining Mr Stewart, prosecutor Stuart Trimmer QC told him: "You are, without doubt, a complete liar".
Follow the latest updates on this story
Mr Stewart alleged the two men, Nick and Joe, were business associates of Ms Bailey's late first husband John Sinfield and had taken her on 11 April.
He said that four days later, Nick had returned to the house Mr Stewart shared with the Northumberland-born author in Royston, Hertfordshire.
Nick handed him a phone and he spoke to Ms Bailey, the jury heard, and she said "I love you. Sorry about everything".
He told the court he had responded by saying: "It's not your fault. I love you too".
Mr Stewart claimed his fiancee asked him to search the house for her own mobile phone before he was assaulted and threatened by Nick.
He reported her missing on the afternoon of 15 April.
The court previously heard how Mr Stewart said he lied to Ms Bailey's friends, family and the police about her whereabouts out of fear for her life.
Her body was found in a cesspit under the garage of the couple's home on 15 July, along with that of her dachshund, Boris.
Mr Stewart, of Baldock Road, Royston, Hertfordshire, denies murder, preventing a lawful burial, fraud, and three counts of perverting the course of justice.
The trial continues.
The creature, measuring 40 feet, was discovered on its side in the shallows at Perranporth beach when the tide went out.
Marine specialists said being out of the water for so long would have caused internal injuries and, even if they could refloat her, she would probably not survive.

The midfielder, 25, believes Saints, currently third in the Premier League, can stay in the top four as "something special is going on" at the club.
"We want to put Southampton in the spotlight. That will be a shock for the country and the world," he said.
"We want to reach the Champions League. We want to change this tradition of it being all the big teams."
Schneiderlin says the Southampton dressing room is focused on maintaining their excellent form, which has brought 39 points from 21 games and, most recently, a 1-0 win over Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday.
"Before every game, we say 'Lads, we cannot let this slip away,'" the Frenchman revealed.

"We have to make it happen and to make it happen we need to be focused in every game, to not get 'big time'.
"We are Southampton. We are players like myself who four years ago was playing in League One. Never forget where you have come from.
"Hopefully we can do something special. We are believing we can but if we don't, the most important thing is to get Europe for Southampton."
Schneiderlin's own future has been the subject of much speculation after he criticised the club last summer when Calum Chambers, Adam Lallana, Rickie Lambert, Dejan Lovren and Luke Shaw were all sold.
Reports have linked Schneiderlin with moves to Manchester United and Arsenal and he says he "can't say what's going to happen in the summer".
He added: "That's up to everyone's personal choices and the club choice. We are going to see where we are going to finish and what everyone's going to do but right now I can't predict anything."
Meanwhile, Southampton will be without Toby Alderweireld for Wednesday's FA Cup third-round replay against Ipswich at Portman Road after the defender was ruled out for up to four weeks by a hamstring strain.
Alderweireld was taken off in the first half at Old Trafford on Sunday after picking up the injury.

In the video (which is in Dutch), an eagle is seen swooping towards a hovering drone, grabbing hold of the machine with its talons and flying off.
The birds are taught to treat the drones as if they were a potential meal.
"The bird sees the drone as prey and takes it to a safe area, a place where he does not suffer from other birds or humans," says a statement from the police.
That man is, of course, our own football expert Mark Lawrenson.
He may have consistently tipped West Ham to falter and - like almost everybody else on the planet - failed to forsee Leicester's incredible title-winning campaign.
Indeed, if Lawro's predictions had all been correct, West Ham would have finished 17th with 34 points - 10 places lower and escaping relegation by a single point.
And he also had Leicester and Newcastle finishing in mid-table.
But you cannot argue with the facts over a full season. Lawro - who makes his predictions on a Thursday morning - outscored every single Premier League club's supporters by a healthy margin.
His season average of 76 points after 38 game weeks dwarves even the top-performing set of fans, Stoke City, who averaged 64.8 points across the season.
Spurs fans were the least knowledgeable - finishing bottom of the table with a 61.4. And those unforgiving West Ham fans? A respectable fourth-placed finish with a score of 63.8.
"The West Ham fans gave me some stick earlier in the season because of my scores," Lawrenson told BBC Sport. "They even sang about my predictions at one game, which I've never had happen before.
"I know I've annoyed Southampton and Swansea before, to name but two teams… and I'm sure Swansea fans have noticed that I have relegated them again, like last season.
"What I always say to anyone who asks me about my predictions is that if I could really seriously predict football results, I would be sitting on my ocean-going yacht, which would be moored off the Bahamas. But it is good fun, that is the main thing.
"It's nice to know I've done better than the fans but I would probably have a higher average score if I made my predictions as close to kick-off as they can.
"Some people have made a big deal about the league table based on my predictions, but when I am making them, I don't even look at it. I am trying to predict the right results that week, not balance it out so teams are closer to their actual positions.
"What Leicester have done in the Premier League this season shows how difficult it is to predict anything, really."
Lawro's best score: 160 points (week 19 v Guy Mowbray and week 36 v Nathan Caton)
Lawro's worst score: 20 points (week one v Graeme Swann & week 23 v Ice Cube and Kevin Hart)
More than 1,000 schools, both primary and secondary, have already signed up.
A few pupils will be able to question Maj Peake directly, others will send questions via social media.
Organisers described the Times Educational Supplement and European Space Agency link-up as a "once in a lifetime opportunity".
Maj Peake will devote 20 minutes of his time on board the International Space Station (ISS) to the event, early in February.
The organisers are inviting every UK school to register and send in questions and ideas from pupils in advance.
The link-up, dubbed the Cosmic Classroom, aims to be "world's largest schools and space science event".
Separately, three Norfolk schools and the University of East Anglia will hold a 10-minute radio-link conversation with the astronaut.
Millions of people worldwide, including the prime minister, tuned in to watch Maj Peake's blast-off from Kazakhstan on the Principia mission.
The UK's first ESA astronaut is expected to inspire new interest in space travel, in schools.
Jeremy Curtis, head of education at the UK Space Agency (UKSA) said Maj Peake was "very keen to make sure that young people across the UK can play their part in his mission".
"We're sure pupils will suggest some interesting things for Tim to do to help him share his experience of living and working in space," said Mr Curtis.
TES Global's chief education adviser, Lord Knight urged every teacher in the country "to sign up now, to make it the world's largest schools and space science event".
"The countdown to the Cosmic Classroom begins now, and I await with anticipation the creative, insightful and entertaining ideas our teachers and their classes come up with." said Lord Knight.
Earlier this year, York University researchers began a three-year project looking at the influence of human space travel in popularising science, technology, engineering and maths (Stem) subjects.
In particular, the researchers are assessing how the views of primary and secondary pupils are affected by Maj Peake's ISS mission.
The 21-year-old scored 10 goals for the Sandgrounders this season, but could not prevent their relegation from the National League.

Allen's arrival fills the gap left by top scorer Ricky Miller, who joined Peterborough United earlier this month.
Martha Seaward, 15, was run over after getting off a bus on the A148 in Upper Sheringham, Norfolk, in January 2014.
Her parents wanted a roundabout built to slow traffic but the county council said this would be too expensive and it is now considering having a path built.
The Seawards said the path would move pedestrians but not solve the problem.
Norfolk coroner Jacqueline Lake had asked the council to investigate ways of preventing further deaths on the road and report its findings to her by the end of March.
In its report the council said a new roundabout had been considered but the cost of between £500,000 and £1m would be between a quarter to half of the annual road improvement budget for the coming year for the entire county.
Reducing the speed limit on the 60mph stretch would be "hard to justify on an open, rural main road with so little frontage development", it said.
The preferred option emerged as creating a path from the Lodge Hill bus stop to a crossing point further from the junction, and signs reminding bus users to take care crossing the main road.
Martha's mother Karen said: "They've done the very least they could do in response to the coroner's concerns.
"The optimum solution would have been a roundabout. Often speed limits aren't adhered to but a roundabout can't help but slow down traffic."

McDonald's saw earnings fall 30%, while Coca-Cola's fell 14%, with both citing lower US sales as key reasons.
The fast-food chain's profits of $1.07bn (£661m) were also hit by a food scandal in China, contributing to a 4.6% fall in revenues to $6.99bn.
Meanwhile, the world's largest drinks group made a $2.1bn profit on revenues that were broadly flat at $11.9bn.
McDonald's US sales have been under pressure as consumers switch to other chains, notably the fast-growing Chipotle Mexican Grill.
Sales also fell in Russia, Germany and especially in China, where McDonald's was hurt by a scandal over meat supplies.
Chief executive Don Thompson admitted that the trading performance was not good enough. "McDonald's third-quarter results reflect a significant decline versus a year ago," he said.
"By all measures, our performance fell short of our expectations."
Meanwhile, Coca Cola said that its US sales were down 1% during the quarter. Consumers are increasingly turning to alternatives to sweet, fizzy drinks. The company's profits also suffered because of currency fluctuations and strengthening of the dollar.
In August, Coke spent $2.15bn for a 16.7% stake in Monster Beverage energy drinks business.
As part of the deal, Coke transferred ownership of its own, less successful energy drinks, including brands NOS, Full Throttle and Burn, to Monster.
And it took over Monster's non-energy brands such as Hansen's Natural Sodas, Peace Tea and Hubert's Lemonade.
Her new live album Before the Dawn landed at number four despite strong sales early in the week putting her on course for the chart summit.

Canadian singer The Weeknd debuted at number five with his new album Starboy.
Other new entries this week include Andre Rieu's Falling in Love, which landed at number seven, and a number 10 position for Falling in Love by British TV presenter Bradley Walsh.
Busted's first studio album in 13 years, Night Driver, debuted at number 13.
In the singles chart, Clean Bandit remained at number one with Rockabye - which features Sean Paul and Anne Marie.
In doing so, it became the band's second song to hold the number one spot for four weeks, following 2014's Rather Be.
Black Beatles by Rae Sremmurd was also a non-mover at number two, while Starboy by The Weeknd featuring Daft Punk climbed five places to number three.
There were no new entries in this week's singles chart, but Rag'n'Bone Man's Human leapt 66 places to number 11.
Further down the chart, Mariah Carey's All I Want For Christmas Is You re-entered the top 40 at number 29.

The prime minister is launching a further 18 of the state-funded schools, set up by academy trusts, community groups, parents and teachers.
Mr Cameron said this would deliver "innovative and exciting schools".
But the National Union of Teachers said the government was "playing politics" with the demand for school places.
The announcement will add to the 252 free schools already open and a further 52 set to open this term, out of a total of about 22,000 schools in the state sector.
The Department for Education says the new projects include a school in Solihull for children who have fallen out of mainstream education and the Gipsy Hill Secondary School in south London, which will use a classical model based on "logic, grammar and rhetoric as the foundations of learning".
The Swan School will open in Oxford and the John Donne Primary Free School in Peckham, both supported by local state schools.
"The aim of this policy is crystal clear - to increase the number of good and outstanding school places so that more parents have the security of knowing their child is getting a great education," said Mr Cameron.
The prime minister said he would "not waver in pressing ahead with our plans" to reach the target of an extra 500 free schools.
But Education Secretary Nicky Morgan said there was a "strong pipeline" of quality applications.
She added: "This is about making sure that every child has a good school place to attend with excellent teaching to fulfil their potential."
NUT leader Christine Blower accused the government of "untruths and misrepresentations" about its free-school policy, saying there was no evidence that they were better than other schools.
Ms Blower said the government had had to change the regulations so that all new schools would be designated as free schools to "help David Cameron hit his own target".
Free schools have the same status as academies, operating outside local authority control and not having to follow the national curriculum and having more flexibility over staffing.
The new schools are being announced at a time of growing demand for school places, with a rising population at both primary and secondary levels.
Russell Hobby, general secretary of the National Association of Head Teachers, said: "There is a desperate need for long-term planning that spans all sectors. With the massive increase in pupil numbers and over-stretched budgets, we cannot afford inefficiency and conflict. The government's approach makes this problem worse.
"Until some agency at the local or regional level has the information and the authority to prioritise school places where they are most needed, parents and children will always be unsure that the system will give them what they want."
A report from London Councils says there is a need for 113,000 extra school places in the capital in the next five years, which it says will need additional funding of £1.5bn.
Nick Timothy, director of the New Schools Network which supports the opening of free schools, said: "The fact is, we urgently need more good new schools - not just where there is a shortage of places but where standards have been too low for too long.
"Free schools are better placed to drive up standards and give parents what they want because they give more control to heads, teachers and governors, rather than politicians and bureaucrats."
But the Local Government Association warned of planning problems that could face councils if the opening of free schools was postponed.
The organisation representing councils says any delay in opening should be made known before school places were allocated in the spring.
"When last minute delays are announced by government, it is the council that picks up the pieces to reassure mums and dads that their child will have a place at a school before September," said the LGA's deputy chairman David Simmonds.
Labour's education spokesman Tristram Hunt said the focus on free schools was missing the bigger problem of a teacher recruitment crisis.
"As children begin the new school year, more and more pupils are being taught by non-specialists and supply teachers, due to the teacher recruitment crisis. And shortages in teacher supply are set to get worse. This should be the priority for education ministers," said Mr Hunt. | The number of executions in the US in 2015 is the lowest in nearly 25 years, new figures reveal.

Dr Joanne Welton is to investigate if exosomes have the potential to contain biomarkers for diagnosing the disease.
Exosomes are complex tiny bubbles of fat that are secreted from most, if not all, cells in the body.
The post-doctoral research associate at Cardiff University has secured funding from the Multiple Sclerosis Society.
Dr Welton started experiencing MS symptoms in 2007, in the second year of her PhD.
At the time she was looking at exosomes as a potential source of new protein biomarkers for bladder cancer.
She said she had not considered the potential for tailoring this kind of research to MS until her own diagnosis.
She said: "At the moment we don't know exactly what these markers could be, so it's like looking for a needle in a haystack, when you don't know what a needle looks like.
"It's a case of comparing control samples with ones from people with MS, to see if I can identify any differences."
Describing her symptoms she said: "At first it was extremely frightening, I was experiencing double vision and problems with my balance and even thought I might have a brain tumour at one stage.
"So it sounds strange, but once I had a diagnosis it was actually a relief.
"The more I learned about it, the more I realised that I had skills which could help, which was a huge motivation, both for me personally getting to grips with MS and for my career."
Dr Welton has the "relapse remitting" form of the disease, whereby symptoms come and go intermittently.
Her laboratory has been adapted to help her move around, and she schedules her work to avoid exacerbating her condition by becoming overtired.
Nevertheless, she says her research has become "more than a full-time job".
"My managers are very understanding of my MS and willing to help me progress in my career. As long as the work gets done they don't mind how I do it, so if I need to rest, I rest.
"I get told off by my boss for pushing myself too much sometimes."
Dr Welton's initial feasibility study should be completed by the end of the year, after which she hopes to present her findings at a conference in Cardiff and publish it in a scientific journal.
If successful it could lead to a full-scale study, investigating a larger cohort in more detail.

He said the SNP's economic plans would have a "devastating" impact on Scotland.
The SNP says Labour is "simply making this up", with leader Nicola Sturgeon citing the usual "fears and smears".
The Tories say Mr Miliband's comments show the SNP is "pulling Labour's strings".
In other election news:
Labour has been trailing the SNP in the polls in Scotland for months and, as Mr Miliband arrived in Edinburgh to deliver his speech, a YouGov poll for the Times suggested Labour could be on course for its worst result in about 100 years.
It put the SNP on 49%, with Labour on 25%, which - if borne out on 7 May - would leave Labour with only a handful of Scotland's 59 seats and significantly harm the party's chances of a Westminster majority.
Analysis by BBC Political Correspondent Iain Watson
Ed Miliband is usually most comfortable attacking opponents to his right.
But in the shadow of Edinburgh castle, Mr Miliband claimed today he had found a chink in the centre-left SNP's armour.
Nicola Sturgeon said she wanted full fiscal autonomy as soon as possible.
So Labour have latched on to a recent analysis by the independent Institute for Fiscal Studies suggesting that with a lower tax base than the UK as a whole - and volatile North Sea oil revenues - there could be a gap of more than £7bn in the Scottish budget.
This allows Labour to say - look, the SNP are an austerity party too because they would have to make cuts to close this chasm.
But Labour have to be careful of how they advance the argument - the SNP say they are facing more "fears and smears" from their opponents.
And if Labour are, in part, being punished for too negative tone during last year's referendum campaign they will have to mix a negative attack on Ms Sturgeon's plans with a positive vision of Scotland's role in the UK.
However, Mr Miliband attacked SNP plans for the Scottish Parliament to take control over all taxation in Scotland, known as full fiscal autonomy. He said this would mean the end of the Barnett formula, the mechanism used to distribute government funds across the different nations of the United Kingdom, and leave a £7.6bn "black hole" in Scotland's finances.
"Which services will be cut? Which taxes will be raised and what cuts will it mean for pensioners in Scotland when they are taken out of the UK pension system?" he asked.
Mr Miliband said the SNP's claims that they would end "Tory austerity" were false and that they would actually "extend" it because their plans for fiscal autonomy would cut Scotland off from sources of UK-wide revenue and increase its pension liabilities.
SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon described his speech as "desperation" and her deputy, Stewart Hosie, told BBC News:" The Labour Party are simply making this up."
He said Labour's figures - taken from independent Institute for Fiscal Studies data - were based on the current financial year, and that tax control could not be transferred in that time.
Neither did they take into account the effect of SNP anti-austerity policies to grow the economy, Mr Hosie said, adding: "The only cuts which we know are actually coming to Scotland are the £30bn of austerity cuts from the Conservative and Liberal coalition which the Labour party voted for."
What is fiscal autonomy?
The SNP wants the Scottish Parliament to have control over all of taxation in Scotland.
For the shared costs of continuing to run the United Kingdom, it would pay Whitehall a portion of the takings - for defence, the Foreign Office, the Treasury and shared regulators such as Ofcom and Ofgem.
Those in favour say such a move would respond to public demand for more powers at Holyrood. They say it would provide the levers of power over economic policy that could help grow the economy faster. That includes targeted business tax breaks.
Those against say that it would leave a large gap in the nation's finances - a £7.6bn shortfall next financial year over and above a share of the deficit that the UK is already running.
Labour has ruled out a coalition with the SNP in the event of a hung Parliament, saying there are "big differences" between the two parties over a range of issues, including the extent of financial powers to be given to Scotland and the renewal of Trident.
The SNP, which has called for modest rises in UK spending in the next Parliament and made a number of spending commitments of its own, has said it is prepared to support a Labour government on a "vote-by-vote" basis, if Ed Miliband's party wins the greater number of seats in the Commons, but not an overall majority.
Such an arrangement, the Conservatives warned again on Friday, would give SNP the power "to sign off" all Labour's plans.
This election issue includes devolution and reform of the Westminster political process.
Policy guide: Where the parties stand
Tory Defence Secretary Michael Fallon said: "Ed Miliband's visit to Scotland shows that the SNP are already pulling Labour's strings."
"Nicola Sturgeon makes a statement, and the Labour leader rushes to Edinburgh to respond. If it's like this now, imagine what it would be like with the SNP propping up Ed Miliband in Downing Street."
The Liberal Democrats said that, in pressing for full fiscal autonomy, the SNP were "veering away" from an economic strategy "that has delivered 174,000 new jobs for Scotland and putting the recovery at risk".

It was the first time England had hosted the World Cup, and the first (and only) time the team lifted the most coveted trophy in football.
In 1966, there were no multi-million pound player contracts and most people had never heard of a metatarsal injury.
The word "wag" had nothing to do with players' wives and girlfriends, who were more likely to be seen wearing Marks & Spencer than designer wear.
With only 16 teams competing, compared to 32 in 2010, it was smaller than the modern-day tournament.
Nevertheless, the atmosphere was at fever pitch, and for many England fans it remains the most exciting World Cup ever held.
BBC Radio 5 live summariser Stuart Hall was a sports reporter for the BBC covering World Cup matches in the North West.
He said there was huge excitement all over the country before every game.
"They had street parties, they had everything," said the broadcasting veteran. "The whole country was on fire.
"Some of these teams were at the peak of their powers.
"Every team had wonderful, wonderful artists playing for them. It was before the decline of certain countries.
"The standard of football was exceptional. The most boring team in the competition until we got to the final was England."
England, led by manager Alf Ramsey, were not the favourites to win the World Cup before the tournament began.
Holders Brazil, as well as Uruguay and Italy, were all knocked out unexpectedly early in the competition.
"Alf Ramsey was very clever," said Mr Hall. "He did not play exciting football but it was functional, pragmatic, safe. He wanted to win."
Mr Hall said hopes were extremely high after England's final victory and many people thought it was the "dawn of a new era" for English football.
It was not just Wembley that experienced World Cup fever. With matches played in Sunderland, Middlesbrough, Sheffield, Liverpool, Birmingham and Manchester, the excitement spread around the country.
One man who remembers it well is 81-year-old Bernard Gent, who was working as a Football Association press officer at Ayresome Park in Middlesbrough. Russia, Italy, Chile and North Korea all played at the stadium.
Even though Italy were among the favourites, the attention of Middlesbrough quickly turned to North Korea after they drew with Chile and then beat the Italians 1-0.
They went on to play Portugal in the quarter-finals but lost 5-3.
About 3,000 Middlesbrough fans travelled to Liverpool for the game at Everton's Goodison Park ground to support North Korea against Portugal.
Mr Gent said: "They had a poor year following the local team but because North Korea played in the same colours, red and white, they took to the North Korea team.
"The crowd must have played some part in them winning against Italy in that game which was crucial. They really got behind them. There were no North Korean [fans] here because of the political situation."
He said Middlesbrough fans celebrated North Korea's success in the local pubs and nightclubs. "It was a great atmosphere," he said. "It would be fantastic to have it here again."
Mr Hall, who still files match reports for BBC 5 live, added: "I have never seen anything quite like it since then. There is nothing like a World Cup playing in England. Football is the greatest entertainment in the world."
They appeared in Exeter Magistrates' Court facing a total of 86 charges relating to offences at homes in Devon.
Seven defendants, described by police as senior managers, are charged with conspiracy to falsely imprison and conspiracy to ill treat residents.
The charges cover a period between 2009 and 2012 and relate to the Veilstone, Gatooma and Teignmead care homes.
Fifteen defendants, who were all staff at the homes, are charged with either ill-treatment, false imprisonment or both.
The homes were run by Atlas Project Team Ltd and provided care for adults with learning disabilities.
They were closed in 2012 following inspections by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) after concerns were raised about the treatment of residents.
Atlas has since folded.
All of the accused, 13 women and nine men, have been bailed to appear at Exeter Crown Court on Friday 21 November.
Flames ripped through the site after the fire started in a car workshop at Medina Village, Cowes on Monday.

No-one was injured.
Classic ships, racing yachts and carnival floats built to mark the 120th anniversary of Cowes Carnival charity in the summer were destroyed in the blaze.

The fire service said a full investigation into the cause of the fire was still being carried out.
The 34-year-old, who was from John O' Groats, died at the scene of the collision on the A836, near the A99 junction and the Seaview Hotel.
It happened at about 23:40 and the stretch of road involved was closed until 07:45 the next morning.
Police Scotland has renewed an earlier appeal for witnesses.

The BNP's only UK district councillor Brian Parker holds the balance of power on the hung authority in Pendle.
Its Conservative MP Andrew Stephenson told the Commons the parties' deal had turned "a blind eye to racism".
Labour and the Lib Dems have denied striking any such arrangement.
The current political makeup of the council is 24 Conservatives, 15 Labour, nine Lib Dems and one BNP.
Mr Stephenson told ministers: "That means the Labour/Lib Dem coalition that run the council currently have to rely on the support of that BNP councillor to get things through.
"Can we have a debate on racism and how the Pendle Labour Party and Liberal Democrats are happy to turn a blind eye to it in order to cling on to their positions and their expenses?"
Mr Parker said Labour, the Lib Dems and the BNP were "co-operating" and would look at working together in the future.
He told BBC Radio Lancashire an agreement had been made with the coalition over local traffic issues in return for his support on their budget.
"We could come to an arrangement on other things. I won't work with the Conservatives because they're starving Pendle Council of millions," he said.
Pendle council leader, Labour's Mohammed Iqbal, said no deal has been done and added he had "never met with the BNP" and did not intend to.
He said the accusation "showed the Conservatives were getting desperate".
The authority's deputy leader Lib Dem Tony Greaves, also denied an agreement had been made with Mr Parker, saying "he is his own free agent and he will no doubt vote according to his views".
Leader of Pendle Conservatives Joe Cooney has written to Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and Lib Dem leader Tim Farron condemning the situation.
Some 180,000 people are set to spend a third night in temporary shelters, including cars and tents.
More than 62,000 homes remain without electricity and 300,000 homes have no water, Japanese media report.
At least 11 people are still missing following the quakes which killed 41 people and wounded hundreds.
Rescuers used improved weather on Sunday to fly helicopters to the worst-affected areas of Kumamoto prefecture as tremors continued.
The BBC's Robin Brant says concerns persist that another big quake may further damage houses already weakened.
But fears that heavy overnight rain would cause further large landslides appeared to not have been realised.
Saturday's magnitude-7.3 quake struck at 01:25 (15:25 GMT on Friday) close to the city of Kumamoto, which had been hit by a magnitude-6.4 quake on Thursday night.
Both quakes were shallow, causing huge damage to roads, bridges and tunnels. Big landslides cut off remote mountain villages.
Some 1,000 buildings have reportedly been damaged and at least 90 destroyed.
About 2,000 people were treated for injuries and nearly 200 remain in a serious condition.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe announced the number of troops helping in the rescue effort had risen to 25,000, and the US military would provide air transportation.
Across the valley from where I am standing in the small town of Minami-Aso, a huge landslide hundreds of metres long has severed a highway and buried part of the area.
Rescuers using earth-movers are now clearing away tonnes of mud and rock from around the half-buried houses. It's thought at least eight people are buried in the slide, although it could be more.
There has been heavy rain overnight and aftershocks are continuing to strike all the time.
In the badly-hit town of Mashiki thousands of people spent a third night sleeping in evacuation centres, in their cars, or even in the open.
People here are very badly shaken. This part of Japan is not prone to large quakes. Everyone I have spoken to has said the same - they have never experienced anything like this in their lives.
Japanese rescue teams scoured the remains of homes and buildings, and some used shovels to dig through the mountains of soil to try to reach people still trapped beneath.
Most of those missing were from the badly-hit village of Minami-Aso.
There have reportedly been more than 440 aftershocks in the area since Thursday.
With evacuation centres reportedly full to the brim, many people have been forced to stay out in the open.
"I sleep in a car and stay in this tent during the day," one 52-year-old resident of nearby Mashiki told the AFP news agency.
A number of large firms have factories in the Kumamoto region. Electronics giant Sony Corp and motor manufacturer Honda said they were suspending their plants in the region.
Car giant Toyota said its production plants across Japan would have to be suspended because the quakes had disrupted its supply of parts.
Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda, attending a G20 event in Washington, said it was too soon to analyse the economic damage caused by the quake, but bank operations in Kumamoto were still functioning normally.
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.
A Malaysian foreign ministry spokesman said on Monday that their Pyongyang ambassador had been recalled "for consultations".
Some of the best tennis stars from around the world will be heading to London to compete in the event.
To find out more about some of the British players in the tournament who you might not have heard of, click here.
As for the big stars, Newsround takes a look at some of the main contenders for the Wimbledon singles titles this year...
As the world number one and the top seed in the tournament, Andy Murray is one of the favourites to win.
There is little doubt that people up and down the UK will be crossing all of their fingers and toes that he can go on to win his third Wimbledon title.
However, he hasn't been playing as well recently as he has done in the past.
There is a tournament that takes place before Wimbledon called Queen's. In both of the years that he won Wimbledon (2013 and last year), he won the Queen's tournament before.
This year, however, he lost in the very first round of Queen's, which was a surprise.
"It's a big blow, for sure," said the star. "There is no guarantee that I won't do well at Wimbledon, but it certainly would have helped to have had more matches," said Murray.
On Thursday, he pulled out of his final warm-up match with a sore hip, meaning he has now only played one match on a grass court - like the courts at Wimbledon - this year.
We will have to wait to see if he is able to bring his A game next week!
The Spanish star is another hopeful to lift the trophy.
Having recently won the French Open - the 10th time he's done this - he is currently ranked as the second best player in the world, after Murray.
If he wins all of his matches in the opening rounds of Wimbledon, he will meet Murray in the semi-finals.
The Open era started in 1968, when Grand Slam tournaments like Wimbledon allowed professional players to compete with amateurs
His win in the French Open (one of the four Grand Slam tournaments) made him the first man or woman to win the same Grand Slam title so many times during the Open era, which puts him in a good position.
However, the next person on this list has won the most Grand Slam titles of all time, and will certainly be one to beat, after he defeated Nadal in the Australian Open final earlier this year...
That's right - it's Roger Federer. The Australian Open champion will be hoping to take the Wimbledon trophy home once again.
The 35-year-old Swiss has won the London tournament an amazing seven times - and this year he will be going for the men's record of winning eight.
Martina Navratilova will still hold the all-time record though, having won the tournament an amazing nine times!
He is the third seed for the tournament, behind Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic, meaning if he wins all of his opening matches, he could meet Djokovic in the semi-finals.
Novak Djokovic, who has won Wimbledon three times, was in a much better position going into the tournament last year than he is now.
In 2016, he was the reigning champion for all four of the Grand Slam tournaments. This year, he hasn't got a single one.
"It's the first time now in a stretch of seven or eight months that I haven't won any big tournament," he said. "I'm not playing at my best and I'm aware of that. But I've got to stay positive about myself and my game."
He was recently beaten in the French Open by world number eight Dominic Thiem, who is another player that people will be keeping their eye on, and is currently fourth in the world ranking and second seed for Wimbledon.
It is the first time that the four players in this list so far have been seeds number one to four.
This means that they will not meet each other until the semi-finals at the earliest, so we will surely be in for an exciting tournament.
In the women's singles tournament, the world number one and top seed for Wimbledon is one of the favourites to win the competition.
At the end of May, the 29-year-old German player became the first women's top seed to lose in the first round of the French Open and she has also just been beaten in a Wimbledon warm-up tournament by Johanna Konta (find out more about her below).
Can she find her form again over the next fortnight? Only time will tell!
Only recently, world number two Simona Halep had the chance to take the number one top spot from Angelique Kerber, when she reached the final of the French Open.
If she won, she would have become the world number one, but unfortunately she didn't, meaning she has never won a Grand Slam.
"I'm sad I couldn't win it but it was a great experience," she said.
As for Wimbledon, the 25-year-old reached the quarter-finals last year, but has never made it through to the final.
Will she get her first Grand Slam title in London?
The Czech player is the third seed for this year's tournament.
Despite being a semi-finalist in the Wimbledon doubles tournament last year, she has not got past the second round when playing on her own.
She will be playing British number one Johanna Konta in a warm-up tournament in Eastbourne on Friday ahead of Wimbledon.
The two met in the semi-final of the warm-up last year as well and Pliskova beat Konta, but time will tell who comes out of top in 2017.
Just a few days ago, Elina Svitolina announced that she did not know if she would definitely play at Wimbledon, after struggling with an injured heel.
"All the time I stand up on the feet, it's painful," she said.
She was beaten by Simona Halep in the French Open, coming within just one point of the semi-final.
If she gets as far as the semi-final at Wimbledon, she will be become the first Ukrainian woman to make a semi-final in Grand Slam history.
Will she definitely play through the tournament or will her injury cause more problems over the next few days?
The women's singles tournament is particularly exciting this year.
With both Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova not playing - and Petra Kvitova and Venus Williams being the only two women playing who have won the tournament before - people may have their eyes on other hopefuls for the title.
Many hope that British favourite Johanna Konta, who is the sixth seed, will have a successful tournament. If she wins, she will be the first female British singles winner since a player called Virginia Wade back in 1977.
Meanwhile, 20-year-old Latvian Jelena Ostapenko shocked the tennis world by winning the French Open recently, as it was very unexpected. She will be playing at Wimbledon and people will be watching to see whether or not she can pull off another surprise.
"There are about 15 women who could win this year. It is one of the most open ever," said BBC Sport commentator John Lloyd.

Leicester's maiden top-flight title was a huge surprise last season but the Italian, 64, insisted his team has a "strong foundation".
"Last season we made something which is hard to repeat but I want the maximum," Ranieri said.
Leicester face Manchester United in the Community Shield at Wembley on Sunday.
"I am very curious what we can do now," he added.
"I spoke with my players and I said: 'I know you very well now and I want more. I want more than the maximum from last season.'"
Ranieri has added five players to his squad this summer, including club-record £16m signing Ahmed Musa, and £13m midfielder Nampalys Mendy.
Last season's top scorer Jamie Vardy has committed his future to the club, rejecting a transfer to Arsenal.
However, N'Golo Kante has left for Chelsea in a £30m deal, while reports suggest Arsenal are also interested in Premier League player of the year Riyad Mahrez.
There's only two of us, and he's older than me by one year and nine months, but sometimes I feel like I'm older and that's because Rob has got autism.
It means he finds it difficult to communicate and he can only say a few words. He's improved lots in the past couple of years, but he can't speak in sentences. Rob finds it difficult to explain what's wrong and that can make him get frustrated and upset.
When we were growing up I didn't see much of a difference, I went to a local primary school and Rob went to a special needs school. But as I got older that changed, I started to realise his needs were more important than mine and it made me grow up very quickly.
One evening when I was about 8 and Rob was 9, he decided he wanted to go outside. It was the middle of the night - but he jumped up, ran to the front door and straight across the road to the allotment. My parents ran after him and were really upset. Rob has no idea about the dangers of the road, doesn't know where he's going and he can't tell you what he's doing. After that Dad brought a massive chain for the door and my parents started locking the living room and kitchen door when we were downstairs, so Rob couldn't go out again.
Going to the shops with Rob used to be strange. We'd get odd looks and some people would giggle. Rob used to scream if he saw something he didn't like and put his fingers in his ears when things were too loud. I used to be really embarrassed about the things he did, I found it hard to explain to my friends, I never knew what to say. But if someone said something horrible to Rob I was the first one to stick up for him.
Having an autistic brother growing up, meant that in summer holidays I went with him to a camp with kids who had physical and learning disabilities. I quickly understood that people have different strengths and just because you struggle with one thing, doesn't mean you won't be brilliant at something else.
At home it can still sometimes be hard if Rob has a bad day. He slams doors, won't sleep and makes really loud noises. But I know it's only because he's unhappy and I try to be understanding. But I always worry about my parents having to deal with that.
In one way Rob thinks of me as his little sister. He doesn't listen to me when I ask him to do something, always takes my favourite seat on the sofa just to mess with me and his worst big-bro habit is farting when I sit closely to him (I hate that). On the other hand, I know he'll never be able to live by himself or go to work, so I will always have to look out for him.
I love my brother with all my heart, and I'm proud to be his sister. But I'd be lying if I didn't say I find it hard sometimes.

Watch My Autism and Me - A Newsround special
In an emotional tribute to the 14-year-old from Barra, dad Roddy and mum Marion said she was "beautiful, popular and talented".
Eilidh was among 22 people killed by a suicide bomber at the end of an Ariana Grande concert at the Manchester Arena.
She had been at the US singer's gig with friend Laura McIntyre, who was seriously injured in Monday's attack.
The MacLeod family also released a number of pictures of Eilidh.
In the statement, they described her as "a loving sister" who loved socialising with friends, and who had an "unsurpassed" love of music.
"Eilidh and Laura were so excited about going to the concert together but what should have been the perfect ending to a fantastic trip ended so tragically," they said.
"We continue to have Laura and her family in our thoughts and pray that she makes a full recovery."
The MacLeods said losing Eilidh was "undoubtedly the most difficult time of our lives" but messages of support from well-wishers in Scotland, Manchester, and across the world had brought them "great comfort".
"The offers of help and support have been truly overwhelming and greatly appreciated," they said.
They also thanked emergency services for doing "everything in their power to help following the explosion".
Most of the space rocks now in collections worldwide have been picked up on the continent.
The region's great expanse of ice makes searching for the blackened remains of objects that have fallen from the sky a particularly productive exercise.
But the UK venture will target a strangely underrepresented class of meteorites – those made of iron.
These are the smashed up innards of bodies that almost became planets at the start of the Solar System.
Finding more of them could give us important clues to events that occurred some 4.6 billion years ago, said Dr Katherine Joy from Manchester University.
"We can't access the iron core of the Earth, but iron meteorites provide us with a really nice guide to what the inside of our own planet is like and gives us an indication of how many planets there may have been in the early Solar System," she told BBC News.
Ten times fewer of these iron lumps are recovered on the White Continent compared with other parts of the globe.
The British scientists think they know the reason for this discrepancy.
They have developed a mathematical model that suggests the chunks of metal are all still out there, waiting to be picked up; they just happen to be buried a few centimetres below the surface.
Technologies normally employed in landmine detection are being adapted to make a wide sensor.
This apparatus will be dragged by skidoos across the ice to find the hidden space material.
A prototype system should be ready for testing at the UK's Halley research station in the Antarctic summer season of 2018/19.
Assuming this goes well, a team will then deploy to a deep-field site a year later to begin the iron hunt in earnest.
The Manchester-led project is funded by the Leverhulme Trust with logistic support from the British Antarctic Survey (BAS).
Any meteorites that are located will be brought back to the UK to be curated and studied.
It is hoped the search will prove so successful that expeditions will become an annual event.
Of the more-than-35,000 meteorites catalogued in collections, something like two-thirds have been retrieved from the White Continent.
Not only does the colour contrast make for easier prospecting, but hunters also get a helping hand from the way the ice sheet moves.
Meteorites that crash in Antarctica's high interior are buried and transported towards the coast, ultimately to be dumped in the ocean.
But if this conveyor happens to run into a barrier on the way - such as a range of mountains - the ice will be forced upwards and scoured by winds to reveal its cargo.
Meteorite hunters on the continent concentrate their searches in these special "stranding zones".
What they notice, however, is that a mere 0.5% of discoveries are iron meteorites. Based on global statistics, this number should be more like 5.5%.
Dr Geoff Evatt is a mathematician specialising in glacial systems. His work suggests the properties of iron-rich meteorites mean they struggle to break the surface at stranding zones in the same way as stony meteorites.
"As they get nearer to the surface, the iron meteorites see the sun and absorb heat energy, and that allows them to melt back down," he explained.
"Iron has high thermal conductivity; it transfers heat from its top side to its underside where it can melt the ice below and essentially sink back down.
"That doesn't happen with the stony-type meteorites because although they absorb the energy, they can't transfer it as efficiently to their undersides.
"We think there must be a great mass of missing iron meteorites just under 30cm below the surface."
If the team's apparatus can identify the right places, it should be fairly straightforward to dig out the meteorites.
Prof Tony Peyton works in Manchester's School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering.
He is looking to incorporate fairly standard landmine detectors into a 10m-wide rig that can be pulled across the ice to sense the sunken treasure.
"The issue is not so much signal to noise that we would have in our more extreme and demanding applications; the issue for us is really the ergonomics and practicality of engineering a system that can cover the area that we want and also cope with the environmental factors - the temperature range and the vibration."
The team has yet to make the decision on where precisely to conduct its search.
Logistics demand it be within range of Halley and the expertise of BAS. This means the chosen site is likely to be somewhere along the Shackleton, Argentina or Pensacola ranges.
These territories have largely been ignored by meteorite hunters to date. But from satellite images, it is clear they have extensive areas of dense, blue ice - the kind of ice that has been forced upwards and brushed clean of snow by Antarctica's relentless winds.
Dr Joy plans a reconnaissance to the region in the same season that the detection rig is put through its paces at Halley.
"Nasa has just announced the Psyche space mission which will visit an iron asteroid. That's going to a body made of exactly the type of material we hope to be collecting in Antarctica," she said.
"Understanding the differences and similarities between what Psyche samples in-situ and what we see in meteorites in Antarctica is going to be critical to unlocking some of the secrets of the earliest days of the Solar System."

The alarm was raised on Saturday night when the man had not returned to his car.
It is understood his body was found at 18:00 BST on Sunday, and rescue teams were stood down at 21:50 BST.
He was originally from England but had a home in Donegal, RTÉ reports. It is not clear now the man died.
A Coast Guard helicopter took part in the search on Sunday.
The Donegal Mountain Rescue Team thanked everyone involved in the search.
The incident happened near Byfield 2,000ft (610m) over the skies of Northamptonshire, in May.
The pilot of the Van's RV-6 two-seater, single engine craft had to take evasive action, and the drone passed down the left-hand side of the aircraft.
He reported the near-miss, but the drone could not be seen on radar and the operator could not be traced.
The UK Airprox Board, set up to enhance air safety in the UK, branded the risk rating a "category B", meaning the aircraft's security was compromised.
The pilot described the drone as a "red and yellow, three-rotor drone", which was the "type that can be easily bought in shops and not a commercial surveillance type vehicle".
The report states the drone operator should not have been operating the drone at such a high altitude.
It says: "Because the drone was being operated at an altitude it should not have been, the reported drone was flown into conflict with the RV6.
"Although there was no radar data to measure the exact separation, the Board thought it was clear from the pilot's report that this was a fairly close encounter, and they assessed the risk as Category B."

There used to be loads of them in Malham Tarn in the 1960s, but they were wiped out by mink.
They're now one of the most endangered mammals in the country.
Jenny looks at what's so special about water voles.
The lorry shed its load in Honiton, Devon, early on Thursday morning when it negotiated a hill.
Police said the driver used the sat-nav system following the closure of the A30.
Inspector Matt Helm said the steepness of Lower Marlpits Hill caused the lorry's load to shift and rip the vehicle's back doors off.

The road is expected to be closed for most of the day.
Insp Helm said: "It does smell a lot.
"The road is a country lane with a 90-degree bend and a 30-degree gradient and the truck lost traction.
"A car would go up in first gear."
An environmental clean-up company has been called to make the area safe.
The adviser will work independently of ministers to provide a different perspective on policy and legislation.
They will also work with victims, survivors and service providers to develop policy and services.
Public Services Minister Leighton Andrews said: "It is an example of how Wales is leading the way in tackling these problems in our society."
The post, which comes with a £58,000 salary, was established in the Violence against Women, Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence (Wales) Act 2015 to drive through improvements.
Mr Andrews said the adviser would be "an expert in the field and will act as a critical friend to help strengthen the strategic leadership and accountability for gender-based violence, domestic abuse and sexual violence throughout Wales".
The call for action comes after the union, which represents about 70% of Tube drivers, rejected a 0.75% pay rise and a £500 bonus for all workers for introducing the night service.
It has also rejected an extra £250 bonus for drivers.

Cheshire West and Chester Council wants to introduce designated busking areas for approved buskers which performers would need to book.
Joining a debate on the issue, Chester MP Chris Matheson said: "I like the spontaneity of buskers. I wouldn't want to control them."
However the city centre manager said busking can cause problems for shops.
"Not everyone is the biggest fan of somebody who's playing outside their business when they can't do business for such long periods," Peter Lewis added.
"What we are asking for is that buskers show a level of respect and concern."
Chester and the surrounding west Cheshire region drew more than 31m visitors in 2014.
Buskers in the city are divided on the proposals.
Professional guitarist David Jimenez (above), who busks in towns across the northwest England and the Midlands, said Chester was "really good for buskers" with "a lot of culture and tourists".
He added the new rules would be "a shame", saying "there have been street musicians in Chester for hundreds and hundreds of years".
But Frank, who occasionally plays his harmonica in the city for fun, is in favour of the rules.
"If we're overcrowded with buskers and it's just a mash of sound, it's not very good for the public anyway," he said.
According to a council report, buskers would need to comply with a code of conduct, which would involve an "assessment of quality". Those who comply would earn an "approved busker" badge.
Mr Lewis insisted the "assessment" would not involve auditions for buskers.
But Mr Matheson said: "I think part of the essence of busking is the artistic freedom they're given, so in my response to the consultation I'll be suggesting that perhaps we leave buskers out."
The council's consultation shows it is already considering involving working with buskers and the Equity and the Musicians Union to draw up alternative rules.

Dettori hoped to compete in the world's oldest Classic at Doncaster on Saturday (15:45 BST) and then fly by helicopter to Leopardstown to partner Golden Horn.
But the Irish race has been brought forward 65 minutes to 17:45 because of concerns over the ground.
Dettori's agent Ray Cochrane said there was not enough time to ride in both.
"Frankie had rides in the first four races at Doncaster, the last one being in the Leger and then we were going to shoot over to Ireland and be there in good time," he said.
"Now they've changed it by bringing it forward there's no point thinking of trying to do both."
William Buick will come in for the ride on Bondi Beach, trained by Aidan O'Brien.
The Irish Champion Stakes is being billed as "the race of the season" with Derby winner Golden Horn and Guineas victor Gleneagles finally set to clash after their planned showdown at York was scuppered by the weather.
However, trainer O'Brien has said he does not want to run Gleneagles on soft ground, and Irish officials have moved the race forward because they were concerned the ground could become churned up later on as rain is forecast on Friday night.
The race will be held on an outside track on fresh ground, which has not been used so far this season.
The one-time European and Commonwealth 400m winner said he now realised he was experiencing mental health problems after injury cut short his career.
The pair flipped burgers together at a Heads Together charity event.
Prince Harry spoke of his regret about not talking about how the death of his mother, Princess Diana, affected him.
As they stood behind the hot coals wearing aprons the Prince asked the former 400m sprinter how the spate of injuries that ended his career affected him.
"What was it for you, was it a massive gaping hole - was it a form of depression?" he questioned.
Thomas replied: "I think yes, depression definitely. I didn't have one injury that was suddenly like 'you have to retire tomorrow' that almost might have been easier - being dealt a really bad blow."
"I'd loads of little niggling injuries whereby I looked like I was going to get back, I could train three or four days a week, I had a couple of seasons where it looked like I was going to run fast again, then another injury would come in.
"I kept trying and trying, thinking 'one more season, I can get back', that's all I wanted to do was get back to where I wanted to be, then quit, and I never got back."
In 1998 the sprinter had his best year, winning the 400m titles at the Commonwealth Games, European Championships and the IAAF World Cup, and was later tipped by Michael Johnson, who at the time was dominating the event, to take over his reign.
But he retired in 2006 after several injuries prevented him from competing.
Heads Together was founded by the Prince and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and has brought together eight mental health charities and organisations to tackle the stigma around depression and other psychological problems.
Other sporting stars turned out to support the event including the former England footballer Rio Ferdinand and Olympic gold medallists Victoria Pendleton and Dame Kelly Holmes.
Harry said to the ex-sportsman: "You've said you've never talked about it before - apart from standing around a barbecue with me - has it made it easier, the fact that people like Kelly, other people in similar situations to yourself, have come forward and started talking about it?"
Thomas agreed and said he had been helped by a former girlfriend and was now in a "happy place" and enjoying television work.
The festival was the first of five events Highland Council announced would be taking place in the city this summer.
It would have been the first jazz festival in the area since the long-running Nairn International Jazz Festival came to an end in 2009.
Organisers have had to cancel because of poor ticket sales.
They were among 32 men - comprising 30 members of the kingdom's Shia Muslim minority, an Iranian national and an Afghan - put on trial in February.
Prosecutors accused them of treason, setting up a spy ring, and passing on sensitive data on military zones.
Tensions between Saudi Arabia and Iran have escalated in the past year.
Sunni-ruled Saudi Arabia broke off diplomatic relations with Shia-led Iran in January following the storming of its embassy in Tehran by protesters angered by the execution of the prominent Saudi Shia cleric, Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr.
Saudi officials insisted Nimr was guilty of terrorism offences, but Iran's supreme leader said he had been executed solely for his criticism of the Sunni monarchy.
The regional powers also back opposing sides in the wars in Syria and Yemen.
Amnesty International said the trial of the 32 men was "grossly unfair".
Taha al-Hajji, a lawyer who represented most of the defendants, told the human rights group that his clients were detained between 2013 and 2014 without an arrest warrant and held for almost three months in secret.
Some told the court they were threatened with solitary confinement and that they would be banned from having contact with their families if they did not sign "confession" documents.
After nearly three years in custody without charge or trial, the defendants were brought before the secretive Specialised Criminal Court in Riyadh in February, where they were handed a list of charges that was almost 100 pages long. Some met their lawyers for the first time, Mr Hajji said.
Several of the lawyers subsequently complained that they were not allowed to visit their clients, view evidence, and prepare their defences adequately.
"Sentencing 15 people to death after a farcical trial which flouted basic fair trial standards is a slap in the face for justice," said Samah Hadid, deputy director for campaigns at Amnesty's Beirut office.
"The entire legal proceedings in this case have made a mockery of justice."
At the start of the trial, it was reported that the defendants included several well-known figures in the Shia community who were not involved in politics, including an elderly university professor, a paediatrician, a banker and two clerics.
But Saudi media said on Tuesday that many were former employees of the defence and interior ministries.
Most were from Eastern Province, home to the majority of Saudi Arabia's Shia.
Shia make up 10 to 15% of the kingdom's 28 million population, and many assert that they suffer systematic discrimination in public education, the justice system, government employment and religious freedom.
Dissent is rarely tolerated, and between 2011 and 2013 more than 20 people were shot dead by security forces and hundreds more detained during protests by Shia calling for an end to discrimination.
Shootings and petrol bomb attacks also killed several police officers.
The £2.5m National Videogame Arcade (NVA), in Nottingham, celebrates the industry through interactive exhibits and vintage arcade machines.
The NVA follows the success of Game City, an annual videogame festival held in Nottingham since 2006.
Games entrepreneur Ian Livingstone said it was about time the country had a centre devoted to videogames.
He said: "We only have to see the evidence all around us, on public transport you see people playing games on smartphone devices, in the home, everywhere we go, it's pervasive.
"The games industry is worth $100bn alone.
"It's not just guys making games for guys, there's cultural and diverse content and also diversity in creation, which is more important."
It is apparent when you visit the centre how, whether you like it or not, videogames are a huge part of our lives. The question is why has it taken so long for a national centre to be set up?
For me memories came flooding back of afternoons spent in seaside arcades by the appearance of vintage arcade games like Track and Field and Donkey Kong.
The staff at the National Videogame Arcade are passionate about the industry and are on a quest to show that it is just as important to the UK as art, film and theatre.
The centre lies in the heart of Nottingham's creative quarter, in Hockley. It has five floors and boasts vintage arcade machines, interactive exhibits, a cinema, cafe and an education space.
Jonathan Smith, one of the centre's directors, said the building would be a "cathedral" for the art form and a unique visitor attraction.
The industry has often come under fire for the content of a number of 18 certificated titles including Grand Theft Auto.
However, Mr Smith said criticism of gaming was unfair and he hoped the NVA would help change people's minds.
"Videogames are fantastic learning tools for children, they encourage creativity, experimentation and social play with others," he said.
"They are part of a healthy diet of different learning techniques and of different activities which of course includes going outside, running around and making things with your hands, but within that rich landscape I think [videogames] play a really important role."
The NVA is set to open on Saturday morning.
It was a question asked by national media during the press day at the NVA and several reasons were given.
Ian Livingstone, who co-founded Games Workshop, which is based in Nottingham, said games had a "long legacy" in the city.
"Games and Nottingham sit hand and hand," he said.
However, the NVA has not emerged out of nothing. Game City, a festival celebrating videogames as cultural works, began in 2006 in partnership with Nottingham Trent University.
The event is still going strong after nine years and has always been backed by Nottingham City Council.
Tony Barbara, 51, subjected two of the animals to a catalogue of suffering, Kilmarnock Sheriff Court heard.
He also attempted to carry out DIY treatment on their injuries in case his actions were discovered by the authorities.
Barbara, from Newmilns, East Ayrshire, was jailed for eight months.
The court heard Barbara, who was linked to the Essex underworld, moved to Scotland after receiving a suspended jail sentence and 10-year dog ban at Snaresbrook Crown Court in July 2013.
He resumed his activities within months but was arrested after the Scottish SPCA raided his home in November 2014 and found two injured pit bulls and equipment linked to the illegal activity.
Barbara was found guilty of six charges including breaching the Dangerous Dogs Act by keeping two female pit bull terriers for fighting, having syringes and medications, possessing "breaking sticks" for fights and causing the animals unnecessary suffering by failing to provide adequate care and treatment.
His solicitor, James Arrol, said heavily-tattooed Barbara was "a man who has a number of psychiatric and health difficulties".
Scottish SPCA inspector Hannah Medley said Barbara spoke "freely and openly", using dog-fighting terminology and explaining the terms and rules.
Ms Medley added: "He told us he had been dog-fighting for the last 20 to 30 years and had only seen one dog die, and that when a dog was dying it was still wagging its tail when it died."
Ms Medley said Barbara described the "etiquette of dog fighting" and used its terminology, such as scratch lines, pits and coming up to scratch.
"He was talking about dog breeds and his fascination with bull breeds", she said, adding Barbara described knowing vets who would teach how to treat injuries and self-medicate dogs.
After his arrest, Barbara gave "no comment" responses when asked why he had veterinary medication used specifically to treat dog injuries and syringes containing milky liquid.
He also refused to comment on whether the dogs had been identified as American Pit Bull terriers, which are strictly regulated, and attributed scars and injuries to "dives into bushes after rabbits".
Police and animal welfare inspectors found a "flesh stapler", a training "flirt pole" and notebooks with accounts of the fights at his previous home in Dagenham, Essex, in 2011, his earlier trial heard.
Sheriff Shirley Foran jailed Barbara for eight months and banned him from keeping dogs for life.
A Scottish SPCA spokesman said: "We welcome this result as investigations of this nature are extremely difficult to detect.
"We hope this result will send out a message that the barbaric and criminal activity of dog fighting is a priority of the Scottish SPCA and will not be tolerated."
"In the past we worked with a couple of bus and courier companies in East Africa, and we saw that most of them had issues with last-mile logistics," remembers Meshack Alloys, chief executive of Sendy, a Kenya-based logistics website and mobile phone app.
"I actually grew up in a village here in Kenya… I have seen the road network being a problem - as I grew up, I saw how products would basically reach the end person at a cost that was high," says 29-year-old Mr Alloys in his office in Kenya's capital Nairobi, notorious for its severe traffic jams.
In response, Mr Alloys and two friends, who had worked together for a bus company, developed a 24/7 on-demand platform that connects individuals or companies looking to dispatch packages, with motorbike riders offering delivery services.
"There are traditional courier companies that might do overnight or same-day delivery, but they don't do immediate, and they might not go residential," explains Malaika Judd, the 30-year-old US chief operating officer of Sendy, who left a Nairobi-based investment fund to join the start-up.
Sendy initially worked with motorbike riders - known popularly in Kenya as boda bodas - but has expanded to include pick-up trucks, large vans and cyclists.
"These are all crowd-sourced riders," adds Ms Judd. "We don't physically own any of the vehicles or the bicycles, and all the riders, cyclists and drivers work for themselves on the platform."
The platform operates in a way that would be familiar to any user of Uber - a user enters the required delivery route, and is given a price quote. Once the pick-up is requested, users can track the rider, and then follow a package to its point of delivery.
Payment is made through a pre-registered credit card, or using the popular M-Pesa mobile money transfer platform.
Sendy started by using very simple technology that worked with basic phones, using SMS and USSD technology and GPS trackers on bikes. But as the price of smartphones has come down, the company is rolling out a hybrid app that also works on riders' smartphones.
"We wanted to solve this problem using existing assets and people… we didn't want them to buy fancy gadgets, expensive gadgets to do that," says Mr Alloys.
"We looked at how do we make these people utilise their assets to the maximum and bring down the cost."
Since it launched its first product in April 2014, Sendy has completed more than 20,000 deliveries - averaging between 150 and 200 per day - and has around 60 active riders on the platform, all of whom are vetted.
For Sendy rider Geoffrey Oloo, reliability of work is a key attraction of the platform. Riders take away 80% of each delivery fee, which starts at a base amount of KES240 ($2.40; £1.60) for the first 7km.
"You are sure in a day that you will get work because there are so many customers in the Sendy system," he says. "When I am with Sendy I am sure at the end of the day that I will having something in my pocket, something I can take home."
Some 75% of daily deliveries are done for corporate business accounts and the rest for individuals.
Sendy works with businesses including e-commerce firms dispatching purchased goods around the bustling Kenyan capital, food companies offering home delivery, and pharmacies moving medicine to patients.
The company is hoping to launch an investment round within the next six months, having successfully attracted funding from corporate and tech investment funds, as well as local angels, in an earlier investment last year.
The team is eager to expand to new cities - both within Kenya and beyond - using hoped-for funding in the next investment round.
Having watched Sendy's emergence, tech blogger Moses Kemibaro sees scalability as the company's next hurdle.
"I think their big challenge is really scaling it to get as many people as possible onto the service before some big international player checks into the market, which potentially could compromise the opportunity to grow," says Mr Kemibaro.
"Already in Kenya, we have seen other on-demand service providers like EasyTaxi and Uber doing well," he adds.
"Increasingly, you will see such providers moving into markets like Mombasa and Nakuru. I think Sendy do have the same potential, but the question at the end of the day is really whether they have the resources to expand."
The Sendy team also hope that the service will help to offer solutions to some basic infrastructural problems that are common in the East African region.
"Traffic is a huge issue, infrastructure of roads is an issue, quality of data on a map is an issue, addressing is an issue, actually having a house number is an issue, street names is an issue," explains Ms Judd.
"While we are providing these on demand services, we are also improving a lot of the base infrastructure… for example we can collect data on all these addresses, we can save these addresses and I can understand now residential locations.
"We can capitalise on the fact that we can beat the traffic by using individuals on two wheels, cyclists or riders. So all of these challenges are also really cool opportunities for Sendy to beat the alternative solutions out there."
Chris Coleman's side were knocked out of the tournament after losing 2-0 to Portugal in the semi-final on Wednesday.
It dashed their hopes of becoming the first British team to reach the final of a major tournament for 50 years.
A special homecoming event to welcome back Wales' Euro 2016 team is being organised in Cardiff on Friday.
Lewis Wells, 18, of Pontypridd, said it had "definitely" put Welsh football on the map.
Two quick goals early in the second half from Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani clinched Portugal's victory - but Welsh fans remained upbeat after the game.
After watching the match in the Lyon fan zone, Mr Wells said: "It's put us out there. It's proved how good [a smaller] team can be."
He added: "It's ridiculous how proud I feel of my country.
"We lost 2-0 to Portugal in the semi-finals of the European Championships - it's unbelievable."
Lee Smith, 36, of Brecon, in Powys, said "hopefully" the team's performances could change football in Wales forever.
"One of the reasons is Cardiff City and Swansea City have both been better recently," he said.
"It's no coincidence... that we [Wales] are playing better."
Morgan Haggett, 17, of Pontypridd, Rhondda Cynon Taff, also watched the game in the Place de Bellecour fan zone.
"What an amazing experience it has been," he said.
"We can finally prove to the rugby fans - this is Wales football, you know?"
The team finished top of Group B after a 2-1 win over Slovakia, a 2-1 loss to England and a 3-0 win over Russia.
They then beat Northern Ireland 1-0 in the last 16 before beating Belgium - ranked second in the world by Fifa - 3-1 in a historic victory in Lille.
More than 100,000 Wales fans are believed to have visited France since Euro 2016 kicked off on 10 June.
The Football Supporters' Federation Cymru believe more than 20,000 Wales fans poured into Lyon for the semi-final.
Nick True, 40, a fan who travelled from Cardiff to watch Wales in the Lyon fan zone, said the team must stay "humble" despite their success.
"If you over-egg it, then you're going to create superstars who believe the hype," he said.
"I think what we have to do is stay humble and just be like a people team."
Despite the loss at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais, the side - captained by Ashley Williams - has gone further than any other in Welsh football history in a major tournament.
First Minister Carwyn Jones was among those to say how proud he was of them.
He tweeted: "Very proud again tonight. Sad it's over but @FAWales and fans fantastic throughout this historic #EURO2016. Diolch. #TogetherStronger."
The cost of these reached at least £6m between 2014 and 2016, with an average cost of £400 per rescue, Freedom of Information requests show.
Firefighters say without their help, people can attempt dangerous rescues themselves.
But the Taxpayers' Alliance said it was not an efficient use of public money.
Among the more unusual rescues the service was called to a puppy stuck in the mechanism of a recliner sofa chair, a cat trapped in a charity clothes bank and a horse that disappeared down a mineshaft.
Last year Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue extracted an 8ft boa constrictor called Billy from a gas fireplace, while in Darlington two pet rats were rescued from a drainage pipe and a cat was removed from the extractor fan of a pizza shop.
In rural counties farm animal rescues were not uncommon.
In the last three years Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue said it had attended to many large animals stuck in mud, ditches or rivers.
In Tyne and Wear a horse was rescued after becoming trapped in the metal framework of a quad bike trailer.
But for many fire services, cats still top the list of the species needing rescuing most frequently, often because they get stuck in trees.
All UK fire services responded to The Jeremy Vine Show's request for information on animal rescues. Of these, 17 provided estimated costs.
They are estimated to have cost £2m a year across the UK between 2014 and 2016.
John O'Connell, chief executive of the campaign group the Taxpayers' Alliance, said: "Something is clearly awry if they can spend so much of their time and taxpayers' money rescuing these animals from such 'peril'.
"Budgets are tight in all areas of the public sector and in future they need to make sure they are using their resources to maximum efficiency."
A spokesperson from Lancashire Fire and Rescue said: "Our firefighters are paid a salary and putting a financial cost on an incident turn-out is misleading.
"No animal rescue would take those resources away from the rescue of a person, or to save a house from burning down."
A statement from the Kent service said: "If we didn't attend we know from past experience that members of the public could be injured or put themselves into dangerous situations (and subsequently need rescuing) while attempting to rescue the animal themselves." | A Cardiff scientist is hoping her experiences of living with multiple sclerosis will help her find a breakthrough treatment for the disease.

One for Arthur was the unexpected winner - only the second victory by a Scottish-trained horse, the last being in 1979.
William Hill said it took about £25m on the race but added it would most likely have to "give it all back".
A spokesman said: "It was a National to forget for us but a fairly grand one for punters in Scotland."
Rupert Adams told the BBC Scotland news website that, for every year for the past five years, William Hill has made about £5m on the Grand National.
"We had expected this year's Grand National to be a bit of a money-spinner for us," he said.
"We won't know exactly how much we will be paying out until everyone has brought their slips in and we have paid out their money, but it looks like we have just about broken even - although we have lost significantly in Scotland.
"The problem is we won't get the money back because with the Grand National most people only make that one bet a year."
Paul Petrie, McBookie.com spokesman, said: "It was a bad day for Scottish bookmakers but a great day for punters and more importantly for Scottish racing.
"It has been a long time since we have celebrated a Scottish winner and although it has cost us a fortune, we couldn't be more happy for Lucinda Russell."
One For Arthur was ridden by Derek Fox and trained by Kinross-based Lucinda Russell, whose partner and assistant is former champion jockey Peter Scudamore.
She said: "What a day. We have a fantastic team behind us and I'm just so pleased.
"He's amazing. He's improved every time. I kept thinking barring accidents, he would win the National and he has.
"Together (Peter and I) we have had good and bad times but the horses are all back in form now.
"It's brilliant for Scotland. I said it's for Scotland, but it's really for the team and the yard.

The robbery happened at United Wholesale in Easter Queenslie Road at about 15:15 on Monday.
Police said the three men made off in a silver Mercedes C Class saloon car, driven by a fourth man. A bag strap was sticking out of the boot.
The car was driven north along Bartiebeith Road and was last seen on Blairtummock Road towards Stepps Road.
Det Insp Alasdair Barlow, of Police Scotland, said: "This was a reckless and dangerous crime which terrified staff and members of the public who were within the wholesalers at the time.
"Luckily nobody was hurt, but it is absolutely imperative that we trace the perpetrators as soon as possible.
"We know that prior to the suspects entering the car, they threw a black holdall containing the stolen cash into the boot. When they closed the boot, the handle of the bag was left sticking out and would have been visible to other motorists driving behind the vehicle."
He added: "I would like to speak to anyone who was driving in the surrounding area yesterday afternoon, who may have noticed a silver Mercedes C Class with a bag strap sticking out of the boot.
"Officers are working to further establish the movements of the vehicle in the aftermath of the robbery and your information could prove vital to our investigation."
Lewisham Council's cabinet had voted to buy the land by compulsory purchase order and was set to confirm its decision on Wednesday.
The authority has said the meeting will be rescheduled but has not yet issued a further statement.
Millwall said the move would put its future in jeopardy and could see the League One club forced to move to Kent.
The Lions have played in Lewisham since 1910 and at current ground, The Den, since 1993.
The New Bermondsey development is expected to create 2,400 homes, community facilities and a new overground station around the stadium.
Millwall chairman John Berylson previously said the club wanted to develop its own land and build facilities, apartments, a hotel and retail outlets to produce long-term income for the club.
At the club's annual general meeting last month, he said the plans could see the club lose its land and its landlord, and added: "If we don't get the necessary licences, we can't operate, it's as simple as that."
More than 27,000 people have signed an online petition against the proposals.
Developers Renewal previously said the plans would create 2,000 jobs.
Director Jordana Malik said the firm's vision was to incorporate a successful, self-sustaining football club at the heart of the development.
Attorney General Michael Lauber said the incidents had been reported by Swiss banks.
He said his office was analysing a "huge amount" of seized Fifa data in its inquiry.
The Swiss investigation is running in parallel to one being carried out by the US.
Separately, Fifa's chief ethics investigator said on Wednesday that the organisation was also looking into alleged breaches by officials relating to bidding for the 2018 and 2022 tournaments.
"Should new evidence come to light, the investigatory chamber will widen the group of suspects," Carl Borbely said in a statement, adding that Fifa investigators were prepared to increase staff numbers "at any time if needed".
The 2018 and 2022 World Cups were awarded to Russia and Qatar respectively. But senior Fifa official Domenico Scala has said the awards could be cancelled if evidence emerges of bribery.
Both countries deny any wrongdoing.
Fifa is facing claims of widespread corruption after Swiss police raided a hotel in Zurich - where Fifa is based - and arrested seven of its top executives last month.
The seven were held at the request of the US justice department which has charged 14 current and former Fifa officials and associates on charges of "rampant, systemic, and deep-rooted" corruption.
The charges follow a three-year inquiry by the FBI.
Also in May, Swiss prosecutors opened separate criminal proceedings "against persons unknown on suspicion of criminal mismanagement and of money laundering" in connection with the 2018 and 2022 World Cups.
However, until now, much less has been revealed about the Swiss investigation than the inquiry being led by the FBI.
Mr Lauber told a news conference that the investigation was "huge and complex on many levels" and would take a long time.
"So far our investigative team obtained evidence concerning 104 banking relations (relationships between banks and clients). And, be aware that every banking relation represents several bank accounts," Mr Lauber said.
"We note positively that banks in Switzerland did fulfil their duties to file suspicious activity reports. Partly in addition to the 104 banking relations already known to the authorities, banks announced 53 suspicious banking relations via the anti-money-laundering framework of Switzerland."
Mr Lauber said he did not rule out interviews with Fifa president Sepp Blatter as part of his investigation.
Mr Blatter has denied any wrongdoing and announced earlier this month that he will resign.
Mr Lauber said his investigation was separate from that being carried out by the FBI and that documents and data would not be shared automatically with the US.
He added: "The world of football needs to be patient. By its nature, this investigation will take more than the legendary 90 minutes."
US officials say China has reclaimed 810 hectares (2,000 acres) since the beginning of 2014.
China claims almost the whole of the South China Sea, resulting in overlapping claims with its neighbours.
Other countries accuse China of illegally taking land to create artificial islands with facilities that could potentially be for military use.
China says its work is legal and needed to safeguard its sovereignty.
In a report, the Pentagon said that China had reclaimed 200 hectares (500 acres) in 2014 at five of its outposts in the Spratly Islands.
US officials say that another 610 (1,500 acres) have been reclaimed since then.
The report says the "ultimate purpose of the expansion projects remains unclear" but suggests the possibility that "China is attempting to change facts on the ground by improving its defence infrastructure in the South China Sea".
Also on Friday, a US think tank said that Vietnam had added eight hectares (21 acres) to its own land reclamation projects in the same group of islands.
The Center for Strategic and International Studies said that the activity was in the Vietnamese-controlled Sandy Cay and West London Reef.
The think tank said that the activity appeared to include military installations.
Last week, south-east Asian leaders said at a summit that land reclamation projects in the South China Sea risk were undermining regional peace.
The actor and director spoke to students taking the postgraduate course Women, Peace and Security at the London School of Economics.
The university said she talked about her experience and what motivated her work as UN special envoy.
Student Tazeen Dhanani tweeted Ms Jolie did "wonderfully" while Alana Foster described it as an incredible lecture.
Ms Dhanani added: "She'll make an amazing visiting professor. So honoured to hear her inaugural lecture at LSE on sexual violence, rape, working with refugees."
The star also answered questions from the students.
Prof Christine Chinkin, director of the Centre for Women, Peace and Security, said: "I am delighted that LSE postgraduate students have had the unique opportunity to learn directly from the valuable insights, perspectives and experiences that Angelina Jolie, UN special envoy and visiting professor in practice, brought to the class."
She added that "critical and constructive" engagement on women's human rights was "at the core of the education programme" at the centre.
Before the lesson, Jolie told the Evening Standard she was "feeling butterflies" as "this is very important to me".
The course is run by the Centre for Women, Peace and Security, which was launched last year by Jolie and former Foreign Secretary William Hague.
In 2012, the pair co-founded a global initiative to tackle sexual violence in conflict zones.
On Monday, Jolie said although she was proud of what had been achieved, "we are very focused on the next steps: taking the tools that have been developed into the field to help document crimes and support prosecutions, working with militaries to change doctrine and training, and pushing for the implementation of laws to protect the very vulnerable victims".
The actor, an envoy for the UN refugee agency UNHCR, has long campaigned for women's rights.
She wrote and directed the 2011 film In the Land of Blood and Honey about the Bosnian war, in which an estimated 20,000 women are believed to have been raped.
The move will reduce the chances of elephants dying because of drought, Oppah Muchinguri is quoted by the state-owned Herald newspaper as saying.
Critics have previously condemned the exports as "stealing from the future generation's natural resources".
Zimbabwe was also seeking China's help to obtain anti-poaching technology, including drones, Ms Muchinguri said.
Game parks in Zimbabwe are famous among tourists, but their wildlife is being increasingly threatened by poachers who see China and several other Asian states as a lucrative market.
Ivory is used for trinkets, souvenirs and also in traditional medicines.
Zimbabwe's government is also gripped by a financial crisis which has made it difficult to maintain its parks.
Officials believe the sale of animals will raise money for their upkeep.
Since July last year, Zimbabwe has sold 100 elephants, out of a population of more than 84,000, to China, the Herald reports.
They were sold for about $40,000 (£26,000) each, according to wildlife officials.
The newspaper dismissed previous allegations by wildlife campaigners such as the Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force (ZCTF) that they included baby elephants "sentenced to a life of inhuman treatment".
Speaking during a visit to China, Ms Muchinguri said: "The Chinese have enquired about more elephants, baboons, hyenas, lions, among others, and we will sell them more without hesitation.
"We are not going to apologise to anyone."
Zimbabwe's elephants faced a critical food and water shortage, Ms Muchinguri said.
"There is drought and soon the elephants will die. It is better to sell them, especially to those who can take good care of them. Whatever our detractors say, we don't mind."
The animals exported to China are taken to the Chimelong Safari Park in Guangzhou, which is home to 20,000 rare animals, according to its website.
Ms Muchinguri said Zimbabwe was looking at acquiring drones and helicopters for surveillance purposes because poachers were becoming increasingly sophisticated.
"All things need money and we must raise the money," she is quoted as saying.
Mr Adams would not be drawn on speculation the former deputy first minister was seriously ill.
The Irish News reported on Monday that the republican figurehead, 66, has spent the last two weeks in hospital.
He did not stand in Thursday's election due to his ill-health, believed to be caused by a rare heart condition.
Mr McGuinness stood down from his post in January in protest against the Democratic Unionist Party's handling of an energy scandal, triggering the snap election.
He was notably absent during Sinn Féin's successful election campaign and did not attend his local polling station with his wife, Bernie, to vote.
The last Assembly collapsed when Mr McGuinness resigned over former First Minister Arlene Foster's refusal to step aside pending an inquiry into the flawed green energy initiative, which could cost Northern Ireland taxpayers £490m.
He was at the heart of the power-sharing government which followed the 1998 Good Friday Agreement, and was deputy first minister from 2007 to 2017.
Peaty, the 50m breaststroke world record holder, touched home in 27.42 seconds in the 50m to finish 0.26 secs ahead of Lithuania's Giedrius Titenis.
The 20-year-old City of Derby swimmer dipped below a minute for the 10th time this year in the 100m breaststroke, winning in 59.67 secs on Saturday.
He qualified for the 200m breaststroke final on Friday but did not race.
After 160 years, the power of the Bronte sisters' ferocious imaginations has not dimmed at all.
On Tuesday, the world premiere of a screen adaptation of Wuthering Heights takes place at the Venice Film Festival. Its director is Andrea Arnold, who won a Bafta last year for best British film for the critically acclaimed Fish Tank.
Skins actress Kaya Scodelario plays the headstrong Cathy, while the part of Heathcliff is taken by James Howson, from Leeds, in his first film role.
It is believed to be the first time the famously passionate Heathcliff, described in the book as a "dark-skinned gypsy", has been played by a black actor.
On Friday, Jane Eyre opens in UK cinemas, with the lead role filled by Mia Wasikowska.
The Australian actress - who played Alice in Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland last year - is joined on screen by Michael Fassbender, Dame Judi Dench and Jamie Bell.
On the same night, a play about Emily, Charlotte and their younger sister Anne - author of Agnes Grey and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall - opens in Halifax before going on a national tour.
Scripted by journalist and author Blake Morrison for the Northern Broadsides theatre company, We Are Three Sisters links the siblings' story with Chekhov's Three Sisters, which some believe was based on the Brontes.
These dramas join a lengthy list of artistic works that have been inspired by the sisters and their writing. Is there a reason why all three have come along now?
Jane Eyre director Cary Fukunaga suggests that current audiences may be drawn to gothic tales.
"People like darker types of stories, which is maybe why there's less Jane Austen films being made," he says.
"But also I think that it's a story that's going to be retold again and again, mainly because of the strength of the characters and the depiction of the characters."
For 21-year-old Wasikowska, the sisters have clearly not aged much. They are "awesome" and "so bad-ass", she says.
Jane Eyre is a timeless story, she believes. "If you take away the period setting and the costumes, the core of it is a young girl who's trying to find love and connection in a very isolated and dislocated world," she says.
"Boy or girl, I think it's identifiable to anyone of any generation."
Blake Morrison, who first had the idea for his play 10 years ago, says the current collision of Bronte projects is little more than coincidence. The sisters' works, he believes, are "in permanent revival".
"The Brontes are just perennially, habitually, forever interesting," he says. "Like any classic authors, they just keep hovering there and haunting us."
For Morrison, the true story is as compelling as the novels.
The Brontes' mother died in 1821, leaving six children between the ages of one and seven. The eldest two, Maria and Elizabeth, died in quick succession in 1825, aged 10 and 11, after a typhus outbreak at their boarding school.
Charlotte, now the eldest surviving child, based the conditions at Lowood in Jane Eyre on their experiences at the inhospitable school.
With brother Branwell, the girls began to immerse themselves in an insular fantasy world of imaginary heroes and romances, writing down the stories in tiny script.
"The deaths of two of the siblings meant perhaps that these three, and Branwell, pulled the force back on each other intensely," Morrison says.
"They had a very tight atmosphere and story-telling became, from an early age, just an ordinary part of their lives.
"It was like a kind of apprenticeship as children, as writers making up imaginary worlds, and as young women that continued."
Their father, Patrick, was the first member of the family to be published, having lifted himself from an illiterate Irish family to attend Cambridge University and write several volumes of poetry.
"The Brontes grew up used to seeing their father's books on the shelves of the parsonage," says Andrew McCarthy, director of the Bronte Parsonage Museum in the family's former home in Haworth, West Yorkshire.
"And he was a tremendously liberal educator of his children. I think the way he educated his children really opened up the possibilities for them in terms of the creative life that they pursued from a very early age."
Graduating from childhood stories to novels, the sisters would work after Patrick had gone to bed, reading and talking over their plans and projects.
While doing so they would pace their parlour "like restless wild animals", as Charlotte's friend and biographer Elizabeth Gaskell put it.
Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights and Agnes Grey were published, under the pseudonyms Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell, within several months of each other in 1847.
Emily died the following year, aged 30, while Anne died in 1849 aged 29. Charlotte was left to walk in the parlour alone.
She died in 1855, at the age of 35, having experienced literary acclaim but with little notion of the lasting impact her family would have.
Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman won best actor and best supporting actor in a mini-series, although neither was at the ceremony.
Steven Moffat also won best writing in a mini-series for the final episode of Sherlock's third season.
Drug drama Breaking Bad was the biggest winner on the night, scooping five awards including best drama series.
It was the second consecutive year that the show, which ended last September after five seasons, had picked up the ceremony's highest honour.
Breaking Bad star Bryan Cranston was named best actor in a drama series for a fourth time as the teacher-turned-drug kingpin Walter White.
He beat a host of Hollywood heavyweights including Oscar winner Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson for their roles in the acclaimed crime drama True Detective.
"I have gratitude for everything that has happened," Cranston said.
His co-stars Aaron Paul and Anna Gunn were also honoured for best supporting actor and supporting actress in a drama series.
Collecting the award for best drama series, Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan said: "Holy cow! This is indeed a wonderful time to be working in television. Thank you for this wonderful farewell to our show."
In other categories, The Good Wife star Julianna Margulies won the Emmy for best lead actress in a drama series for her part as lawyer Alicia Florrick.
"I feel like this is the golden age of television, but it's also the time for women in television," she said. "I feel very grateful to be here."
There were also best actress and best supporting actress in a mini-series awards for Oscar winners Jessica Lange and Kathy Bates for their roles in American Horror Story: Coven.
Although there was a considerable amount of British talent up for awards, success only came from Sherlock's triple win and a best director award for Colin Bucksey for Fargo.
ITV drama Downton Abbey walked away empty-handed despite nominations for its stars Michelle Dockery, Dame Maggie Smith, Joanne Froggart and Jim Carter.
BBC series Luther also lost out in the best mini-series category to FX's small screen adaptation of Fargo.
Game of Thrones actress Lena Headey, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Idris Elba, Helena Bonham Carter, Minnie Driver and Ricky Gervais were among the other British stars who were nominated.
Sitcom Modern Family was named best comedy series for a fifth consecutive year, equalling the record set by 1990s show Frasier for most comedy wins.
Ty Burrell also walked away with best supporting actor in a comedy for his role on the show.
The Big Bang Theory's Jim Parsons won best actor in a comedy series. Julia Louis-Dreyfus won her third consecutive Emmy for playing foul-mouthed US Vice President Selina Meyer in political satire Veep.
Allison Janney won the best supporting actress in a comedy series for Mom.
The ceremony also paid tribute to industry members who died in the past year.
They included James Garner, Ruby Dee, Sid Caesar, Carmen Zapata and Elaine Stritch.
It concluded with a special homage to Robin Williams by long-time friend Billy Crystal, who remembered the actor as "the brightest star in a comedy galaxy".
"It is very hard to talk about him in the past because he was so present in our lives," Crystal said.
"While some of the brightest of our celestial bodies are actually extinct now, their energy long since cool, but miraculously, because they float in the heavens so far away from the sound, their beautiful life will continue to shine on us forever.
"And the glow will be so bright, it will warm your heart, it will make your eyes glisten, and you'll think to yourself, Robin Williams - what a concept."
The main ceremony at the Nokia Theatre followed the Creative Arts Emmy prize-giving on 16 August, honouring TV guest stars and behind-the-scenes crew.
There were four awards for Sherlock including best cinematography, music, single-camera picture editing and sound editing.
"It's great to see Sherlock being recognised so spectacularly at the Emmys," Ben Stephenson, controller of BBC drama said.
"I'm delighted that the BBC is home to so much world class acting and writing talent."
Earlier this week, Belfast Metropolitan College said it may have to reduce its workforce by more than 100.
Colleges NI is the membership body (umbrella body) for the six further education colleges in Northern Ireland.
The colleges are being forced to cut their budgets by £12m and say the only way they can do that is by reducing staff.
Gerry Campbell of Colleges NI said they were looking to develop a proposed voluntary exit scheme that would operate for 2015/16.
He said the scheme was seeking funding from the Government Restructuring and Reform Initiative (RRI) budget which requires the further education sector to submit a business case for approval.
Mr Campbell said the outcome of this process and the level of allocation would not be known until June.
He said that although the scheme was still awaiting funding approval, expressions of interest could be submitted up to Friday 17 April at 12 noon.
"The scheme is necessary to address the significant budget pressures facing the colleges in the context of the agreed 2015-16 Budget," he added.
"It is one of a number of measures being implemented to deliver the required pay-bill reduction. The proposed compensation paid on voluntary exit under the terms of the scheme is one month's gross salary for every full year of continuous service up to a maximum of 21 months.
"We have consulted with all recognised trade unions on the terms of the scheme."
Mr Campbell said the number of staff to be released under the scheme "would be constrained by the number of applicants, the budget available to fund compensation payments and the need to manage the exercise in such a way that colleges can continue to meet their current and future financial commitments".
The Royals dominated first-half possession but struggled to create clear-cut chances.
Wednesday's Lucas Joao fired wide after the break before Roy Beerens' deflected shot gave Reading the lead.
Beerens then doubled his side's advantage, before Steven Fletcher's late header set up a tense finish.
Reading's four game winning streak came to an end when they travelled to London last weekend, but their defence looked far more assured against high-flying Wednesday, until a frantic final five minutes.
The Owls, who would have leapfrogged Reading with a win, offered very little going forward in the first period without striker Fernando Forestieri, who was was sent off in their 2-1 win against Preston.
Joao should have given them the lead immediately after the break when he beat the offside trap, only to fire wide from 15 yards.
Dutch winger Beerens then punished Wednesday with a lucky deflected shot and a superb strike after substitute Yann Kermorgant's headed assist.
Reading looked to have the game all wrapped up before Wednesday substitute Fletcher headed home in stoppage time.
And Scotsman Fletcher could have stolen a point with seconds remaining but Ali Al-Habsi's superb fingertip save denied the Owls a comeback.
Reading manager Jaap Stam (on FA Cup tie against Manchester United): "We haven't even spoken to the team about the draw. It's not even relevant to speak about it because it's in about a month or so.
"We still need to play five games in the league before we play that game with United. So for us, it's no discussion.
"The league at the moment is much more important for us than the game against United. Our focus is on the games that we need to do well in the league.
"We were not happy after that game (at Fulham) and how we performed. But that sometimes makes you aware of what you need to do if you are going to get results in the Championship. That's what we did today."
Sheffield Wednesday head coach Carlos Carvalhal: "There is a saying 'if you don't kill, you can die'. And that's what happened today.
"We prepared very well for the game and we closed down Reading very well. I don't remember any problem for us in the first half.
"We had a clear chance in the second half (Joao), probably the best clear chance of the game. But we didn't shoot the goal.
"In my opinion, we were more threat to them than they were to us. It's important in these games that when you control them, you must score."

Italy has long been plagued by the activities of the mafia, and a new exhibition of photographs in Venice attempts to uncover the wider effects of organised crime on suburban life.
From the drug smugglers of Naples to the prisoners of Brazil, Gang City examines the connection between violence and civil decay.
Showcasing more than 80 photographs, which date back to the mid-1980s, the exhibition portrays the perpetrators and victims of gang-related crime.
The race crosses through Dumfries and Galloway before a finish with the backdrop of Floors Castle in Kelso.
It will pass through the Borders again on Wednesday, with a stage which starts in Edinburgh and finishes in Blyth.
Tourism chiefs hope the event will encourage even more people to consider Scotland as a cycling destination.
Southern Scotland has a strong history of hosting stages in the Tour of Britain since the race was relaunched in 2004.
Although it left Scotland off the map that time, it has enjoyed numerous visits since.
Dumfries and Galloway or the Borders has hosted some part of the race in eight of the 10 events prior to this year.
When the Tour of Britain last came to Scotland in 2013, an estimated 21,000 spectators lined the Peebles to Drumlanrig Castle stage.

A collection of four silver $2 coins costs NZ$469 (£240) while silver-plated $1 coins cost NZ$23.50 (£12) each.
All Niueans are New Zealand citizens and Queen Elizabeth II, who appears on the reverse of coins, is head of state.
Coin-issuer New Zealand Mint said they were gift products and would not be used "to go buy an ice cream with".
The first 10 silver-plated Star Wars coins will be available in November with a further 30 to be issued in the future.
A maximum of 50,000 copies of each silver-plated coin will be produced.
No more than 7,500 of each of the silver coins - which contain 1oz of the precious metal - will be produced.
In April, Niue premier Toke Talagi defended stamps celebrating the marriage of Prince William and Kate Middleton which featured a perforated line that split the couple.
An exact target will be set next summer, but with a year to go until the 2016 Games in Brazil, UK Sport says improving on the record haul of 65 medals in 2012 is "within scope".
Since the modern Olympic era began in 1896, no host country has increased its medal tally at the next summer Games.
A Virtual Medal Table calculated by sports data company Infostrada Sports projects Great Britain will collect 48 medals.
Liz Nicholl, UK Sport chief executive, said the "aspirational goal" was "not probable but possible". She told BBC Sport: "If it was easy, other nations would have done it before."
UK Sport director of performance Simon Timson admitted it was a "huge challenge" to repeat the success of a home Olympics, but said the next 12 months would see "all the innovative expertise in British sport come to the fore".
On Tuesday, Sports Minister Tracey Crouch announced a consultation on sports funding, warning the mounting cost of Olympic and Paralympic success is "at odds with the current financial climate".
How can Team GB top the 29 golds, 17 silvers and 19 bronzes of 2012?
BBC Sport assesses their chances - and those of their rivals - in some of the sports where Team GB will expect to prosper.
2012 medal count: 6 (4 gold, 1 silver, 1 bronze)
Former 110m hurdle world champion Colin Jackson's verdict: "I'm pleased with the shape British Athletics is in. You've got reigning Olympic champions Mo Farah and Greg Rutherford still performing well, and Jessica Ennis-Hill, in her first year back since becoming a mother, with her sights set on Rio.
"There are also promising young athletes coming through in many events. A new British record has been set by Isobel Pooley in the high jump, Shara Proctor has broken the British record in the long jump and Dina Asher-Smith, the British 100m record holder, is running exceptionally well.
"The team has belief, they believe they can be contenders, and that will have a significant impact on how they will perform in Rio."
2012 medal count: 5 (3 gold, 1 silver, 1 bronze)
BBC Sport boxing writer Ben Dirs' verdict: "The tortuous qualification process for the Rio Olympics means it is impossible to predict how many boxers will compete for Britain, let alone how many medals - if any - they will win.
"A measure of how difficult it will be even to reach Rio is that only the top two boxers in each division will qualify via September's men's World Championships in Doha - and only the top six from the upcoming European Championships will qualify for Doha. However, it should be noted that there will be three more qualifying tournaments for the men in 2016.
"Super-heavyweight Joe Joyce qualified for Doha by winning gold at the European Games, as did welterweight Josh Kelly, who won bronze. Liverpool middleweight Anthony Fowler and Welsh flyweight Andrew Selby, who boxed in London, are both ranked in the top five in the world in their divisions.
"Reigning Olympic women's flyweight champion Nicola Adams is probably the best bet for a medal at this stage. Adams is also the reigning Commonwealth and European Games champion, although world silver medallist Lisa Whiteside, world-ranked three, might cause a selection headache. Sandy Ryan, who is moving down to lightweight, could also do well."
2012 medal count: 12 (8 gold, 2 silver, 2 bronze)
Olympic gold medallist Chris Boardman's verdict: "With an unprecedented medal haul at the last two Olympics surpassing that of most countries, the GB cycling team have set their personal bar so high it's almost unthinkable that they could sustain the same level of success.
"In the 2015 World Championships - the only gauge in my view as to what will come next - they have been competitive in most Olympic disciplines but winning in none.
"Assuming a resurgence of form on the day, something the team is good at, two or three golds would be a great and achievable result for the squad, but where those medals will come from is far from certain.
"The recent World Championships in Paris saw the team walk away without a single gold to their collective name, a far cry from their Olympic achievements of three years earlier. But all is not lost, the squad has many fine young athletes still in the hunt as the large spattering of silvers and bronzes showed.
"Sir Bradley Wiggins is now back on the scene and fully committed to the track programme. His selection is not guaranteed but we have to assume he will both make the grade and help the men's team pursuit claw their way back onto the top step next year in Rio.
"Fellow road pro Mark Cavendish's selection for the track team is far less certain due to his road commitments, which will not allow him the time he needs on the boards to prepare. Indeed, he will likely have to compete at the Tour de France just days before, so his selection will probably be confined to the road race.
"If Cavendish does decide to pursue track selection, he would be a fantastic omnium rider, but time is running out for the Manxman if he wants to take that path.
"Australia have been playing bridesmaid to GB for the last two Games and now look to have really got their act together.
"Apart from the antipodeans, it is hard to say where the challenges will come from because, for the first time I can remember, the medals are not confined to the dominant few.
"At the World Championships in February the 16 golds on offer were won by nine different nations. That said, alongside Australia, we can expect the strongest challenges to come from an invigorated France in the sprint events."
2012 medal count: 1 bronze
Olympic silver medallist Leon Taylor's verdict: "In London, it was all about Tom Daley on the last day as he effectively needed to win a medal to save the sport from a funding axe. Heading into Rio, there are medal opportunities in a multitude of events and that is something Great Britain have not had before.
"UK Sport set a target of one or two medals for the Kazan World Championships and the team went on to have a record-breaking event, claiming four with Jack Laugher showing just how talented a diver he is.
"That does not mean it will definitely happen again next year, but British Diving is in such a great place now and if they perform to their ability there is every chance that they can win more than the one medal they did at London 2012.
"China have long been the strongest diving nation and we saw again at the World Championships that they have some great athletes. But they are weaker than in previous years and we are starting to see other nations challenge them.
"Aside from Great Britain, Russia, Canada, and Mexico are capable of winning medals while North Korea shocked everyone with their first two world medals in history in Kazan."
2012 medal count: 5 (3 gold, 1 silver, 1 bronze)
British Equestrian Federation performance director Dan Hughes: "World-class programme riders hold the world number one spot in our three Olympic disciplines: Charlotte Dujardin in dressage, Scott Brash in jumping and William Fox-Pitt in eventing. Despite these and other strong results in national and international competitions, there is no room for complacency.
"There are tough challenges ahead, in particular making the most of our last opportunity to achieve Olympic qualification for our jumping team at the European Championships in Aachen.
"For those like me who remember the amazing scenes in London 2012 where our athletes and horses achieved medal success for Team GB beyond all expectations, Rio 2016 is a daunting prospect.
"We know it is often harder to stay at the top than get there, and other nations have already raised their game as they seek to establish their place in the history books."
2012 medal count: 4 (1 silver, 3 bronze)
Olympic bronze medallist Beth Tweddle's verdict: "Since London 2012, success has continued to build over a wider spectrum. Going into London there were a few names in contention for medals but now more names have emerged. The team has got so much depth.
"Max Whitlock has had a great couple of years, winning two world silvers, and Louis Smith is back in action - he's got the experience at the highest level.
"Rebecca Downie won the European title so she knows what it takes to be at the top. Then you've got the youngsters: Claudia Fragapane was the golden girl at the Commonwealth Games - there are great medal chances for her - and Giarnni Regini-Moran was the star of the Youth Olympics with three gold medals.
"On the girls' side, the USA team are always top-class - Simone Biles is in a league of her own. On the men's side, China, Japan and the USA will be strong. Gymnastics is all about what happens on the day, but Team GB would love to replicate what happened in London - four medals - and I feel that's realistic."
2012 medal count: 9 (4 gold, 2 silver, 3 bronze)
Five-time Olympic champion Sir Steve Redgrave's verdict: "They're in pretty good shape, with some boats performing extremely well. There are six, seven or possibly even eight medals there for them. Their tally will be less than London but that was the best ever.
"In the year before an Olympics, the boats are usually set. But is slightly different this year because, while the men's eight is the top boat for the forthcoming World Championships, it is more likely to be the four by the time Rio comes around. Either would have a great chance of winning gold."
2012 medal count: 5 (1 gold, 4 silver)
Double Olympic champion Shirley Robertson's verdict: "The team was devastated after 2012, with most of the senior sailors leaving, and it took a little bit of time to get over that. But there is some really good talent in the team and they have really started to deliver.
"Leading the way is Giles Scott in the Finn class. He is a no-brainer for gold because he is head and shoulders above everyone else, is unbeaten for almost two years and has proved a great replacement for Ben Ainslie."
"The controversy around the water quality is something you can't understate. I've been to that venue before and I remember one guy going under the water then almost immediately being sick. The party line seems to be not to say much about it, but if I was competing I would be worried because it is difficult not to get wet when you are sailing."
2012 medal count: 3 (1 silver, 2 bronze)
Double Olympic champion Becky Adlington's verdict: "At London a lot of swimmers were ready to retire or were very young, whereas so many of the current squad are at the right age to peak in 2016, so I'm confident Rio will be an amazing Olympics.
"We could get more than three medals in Rio and we could get really good colours as well. We've seen so many impressive performances at the Commonwealth Games and then record-breaking Europeans last year. The experience of a home Games will also help many of the team.
"China and the USA are always strong in all events, but it will be interesting to see how Australia fare. They had a bit of stick for their performances at London 2012 as they did not achieve what was expected, but they are getting back to form and they are a force to be reckoned with again.
"The French gave us a glimpse of what they are capable of in London and are moving on all the time."
2012 medal count: 2 (1 gold, 1 bronze)
European Championship bronze medallist Annie Emmerson's verdict: "The biggest challenge for Alastair and Jonny Brownlee is keeping themselves in one piece. Jonny has picked up a stress fracture of the femur and Alistair had an ankle niggle this season. While it does not matter much in 2015, it will do if there is a repeat in 2016.
"Spain's Javier Gomez split the Brownlees on the London 2012 podium. He is an amazing athlete, but he will be 33 by the time Rio comes around. He is not a young guy any more.
"Vincent Luis of France is phenomenal and will be one to watch. I do not think the open-water swim in Rio will suit Mario Mola, but fellow Spaniard Fernando Alarza will be a threat.
"On the women's side, you cannot rule out there being three British medals if Vicky Holland, Non Stanford and either Jodie Simpson or Helen Jenkins are at their absolute best.
"American Gwen Jorgensen has been awesome this season - her run is so strong - while Switzerland's defending Olympic champion Nicola Spirig will be the dark horse after choosing to train and compete away from the main ITU circuit."
The 2016 Paralympic Games will start after the Olympics on 7 September 2016, with 528 medal events contested over 11 days, and UK Sport believes Team GB can better the 120 medals it won in 2012.
While surpassing that tally would be a challenge, it would not be the history-making achievement that improving on the 2012 Olympic total would be.
Both Greece and China won more medals after hosting the Paralympics, although Australia won 101 medals in Athens 2004, compared to the 151 won as host nation at Sydney 2000.
If confirmed, it would be the first case in Europe since an outbreak in South Korea began.
Authorities there have reported seven new cases, bring the total to 145. Fourteen people are known to have died.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has warned that the outbreak is "large and complex" with further cases expected.
The man in Slovakia reportedly works for a subcontractor of South Korean car maker Kia.
He is said to be in a stable condition, and tests should determine if he has the virus within a day.
The outbreak began when a businessman returning from the Middle East last month was diagnosed with the disease.
All of the cases have been linked to health facilities. The WHO said overcrowding and South Korea's habit of "doctor shopping" - visiting multiple facilities for the same complaint - may have contributed to the outbreak.
But despite the organisation's warnings, it says there is no evidence of Mers spreading wider in the community.
The outbreak is the largest outside Saudi Arabia, where the disease was first identified in humans in 2012.

How South Korea is coping with outbreak
Police said the man, who is still to be identified, was hit by a Volvo lorry between the Whitletts and Holmston roundabouts at about 01:25.
The 41-year-old driver contacted the emergency services and the man was taken to Ayr Hospital where he died.
No other vehicles were involved and no one else was injured. The road was closed in both directions while police investigated but has since re-opened.
Sgt Kevin Blackley said: "This was a serious collision which has resulted in the death of a man.
"The road was closed in both directions to allow specialist officers to conduct their investigation. Our inquiries continue to determine the exact circumstances surrounding the incident."
"I would therefore ask that anyone who saw the crash happen or who has any information that will help us with our enquiries to contact Irvine road policing department."
Gloucester City AFC (GCAFC), formed 130 years ago, says it needs the money to ensure it reaches the end of the season "in a solvent position".
The club also has to settle a £17,000 debt to Cheltenham Town FC (CTFC) with whom it currently shares a ground.
For six years it has been without a permanent home since Meadow Park in Gloucester was ruined by flooding.
Chairman Nigel Hughes said the Blue Square North club "desperately" needed to raise the money in order to stabilise itself.
Earlier this month CTFC gave the club a month to repay the rent and expenses it owes or face eviction from Whaddon Road.
GCAFC later offered a full repayment but only on the condition that the ground-share agreement be renewed next season.
That deal was rejected by Cheltenham Town and negotiations are continuing.
Now, in a separate bid for financial support, GCAFC says a £25,000 boost will allow the club to plan and budget for next season with confidence.
Consultant Colin Peake said Gloucester had "reacted positively" to the situation by revealing its cash-flow problems to the public.
"It is now that the club must go somewhat 'cap in hand' to those in the community, whether individuals or businesses, who recognise the football club does carry the name of the City of Gloucester," he said.
Only 142 fans turned out to watch Gloucester City in action against Droylsden on Tuesday - its lowest crowd for 10 years. Gloucester won the game 4-0.
Poor attendance, a weather-hit fixture list and the lack of permanent home are all blamed for the club's financial circumstances.
Joseph Eke, 22, is accused of fatally attacking Harry House at the family home in Broadmayne, Dorset, on 26 May 2016 while Harry's mother was out.
He denies murder, wounding, actual bodily harm and grievous bodily harm.
The jury heard Mr Eke was a heroin addict and had attacked the mother for refusing to give him drugs money.
He is also accused of injuring the boy on two previous occasions.
Giving evidence at his trial, Mr Eke said he and Harry's mother, Lauren O'Neill, had been in Weymouth about two months after Harry's death when he kicked and punched her.
He told Winchester Crown Court: "I was a heroin addict, a crack head, that was what my life revolved around. She wouldn't give me money to score heroin."
Mr Eke, of St Lawrence Road, Upwey, Weymouth, told the court he had enjoyed caring for Harry, who called him "Daddy Joe Joe".
Jurors previously heard that Miss O'Neill, 22, had gone to the local shop when Harry suffered his fatal injuries.
But Mr Eke told the court he had not had any contact with the boy during that time and had instead been sitting on the sofa talking to his mother on the phone and looking at the internet.
He said, when Miss O'Neill returned she asked him to check on Harry in his room.
He told the court: "He stood up, looked over at me and said, 'Joe Joe, I feel sick'.
"I said, 'What do you mean, sick?' He pointed at his tummy. I turned around, went downstairs and said to Lauren, 'Can you get a sick bowl' and we both went upstairs."
Mr Eke said he was concerned Harry was having a diabetic sugar low so gave him sugar and put water on his face.
He said when Miss O'Neill called for an ambulance, he told her not to, believing Harry had food poisoning.
He told the court he felt "panicky" and "didn't know what to do".
When asked whether he punched or kicked Harry, he replied: "I didn't kill him, I wouldn't kill him. I wouldn't harm a kid."
Jurors previously heard Harry died as a result of a blunt-force impact to the abdomen that split his pancreas in two.
A post-mortem examination also showed he had a "potentially fatal" fractured skull.
The trial continues.
A flood relief charity boss believed most people are still struggling with immediate finances and not ready to consider future protection.
Carlisle Labour councillor Lee Sherriff said the government should be looking at preventing flooding before defending homes against it.
A government spokesman said there was no time limit for applications.
Only 493 out of about 6,000 people or businesses affected by Storm Desmond have submitted claims to the Property Level Resilience Scheme (PLRS).
Miss Sherriff said people had an "ingrained fear it's going to happen again" and instead wanted "concrete promises from the government" that it would invest in flood defences.
"It's better prevention rather than trying to hold water back once it's down," she said.

July 2017 When the money will run out if more is not raised
A flood relief appeal run by Cumbria Community Foundation has raised £5.7m, mostly from donations, but it believes £9.4m will be needed over the next 12-18 months.
Chief executive Andy Beeforth said: "Many families have not returned to their homes, hundreds of homes are not yet dry or ready to be occupied, others are only just uncovering problems and issues and costs they had not expected."
The resilience grant was an "important component" but he was disappointed the government had not handed over the second half of £2m it promised for the immediate relief effort, he said.
"We're into March and we're waiting on the outcome of a match funding scheme that was announced in December."

Government communities secretary Greg Clark has urged households and businesses to apply for the grants of up to £5,000 "so they don't miss out".
The money can been spent on work such as moving electrical sockets, installing flood doors, waterproofing windows and replacing fixtures with water-resistant alternatives.
A Department for Communities and Local Government spokesman said: "We have not imposed a deadline for people to apply for a share of the Property Level Resilience Grant.
"It is for councils to set this to meet local needs, but we do recognise that some may take longer than others to apply."
Wiggins, Britain's first winner of Le Tour in 2012, is now in England's track and road race squads for the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
There's a lot more racing left in Bradley Wiggins
Team Sky principal Sir Dave Brailsford said: "It was a very tough decision. Bradley's been a great champion."
Froome begins the defence of his title at the Grand Depart in Leeds on 5 July.
The 29-year-old is joined in the nine-man team by fellow Briton Geraint Thomas, who led Team Sky at this year's Paris-Nice stage race.
Froome and Wiggins, 34, fell out during the 2012 Tour, when Froome appeared to disobey orders by pulling away from his team-mate during stage 11 before dropping back again.
Earlier this month, Wiggins told the BBC he was likely to miss this year's race.
After winning Thursday's British time-trial championship, he said: "It's disappointing on a personal level, but I think from a team point of view they've probably put the strongest squad up as it stands."
Brailsford insisted he had picked the team that had the best chance of winning and praised Wiggins for being "fundamental to the growth of cycling in the UK".
He added on Sky Sports News: "It's about where you stand now and my job is to predict the best probability to win.
"It's one race. There's still the future and a lot more racing left in Bradley Wiggins."
Shane Sutton, head of Team England's Commonwealth cycling team, said: "I'm very happy to be able to welcome Sir Bradley back to the track team for the Commonwealth Games. His addition will be a real morale boost to the rest of the track squad.
"The decision of who will ride what event will be made nearer the time."
Froome, meanwhile, is excited to be beginning the defence of his Tour de France title in England.
"We did a recce of the Yorkshire stages a few weeks ago and the excitement was already starting to build, and the support that we have received has been fantastic," he said.
"There's no greater motivation for us than riding in front of our UK fans."
His comments accompanied the announcement of the top 10 shortlist for this year's Global Teacher Prize.
"We will all face setbacks and challenges," said Prince Harry, but teachers could help to prepare people for the "ups and downs" of later life.
The top 10 includes Raymond Chambers, who teaches computing in Corby.
"In addition to reading, writing and arithmetic, the very best teachers go beyond the pages of textbooks to teach young people about determination, aspiration, resilience and of course compassion," said Prince Harry.
He commended the achievements of the finalists of the Global Teacher Prize, run by the Varkey Foundation education charity.
His brother, Prince William, and Pope Francis sent video messages to last year's awards ceremony, where the prize was given to a Palestinian teacher, Hanan Al Hroub.
The prize, with an award of $1m (£810,000), is intended to raise the status of teaching and to recognise the impact of teachers on individual lives.
"We will all face setbacks and challenges in our lives, and our teachers play a vital role in preparing us for these ups and downs," said Prince Harry.
He said that teachers were there to help young people "often through turbulent times in their lives".
And he said: "I can certainly pinpoint those who had an impact on my life."
Mr Chambers, a computer science teacher from Brooke Weston Academy, Corby, Northamptonshire, is the only UK finalist in the top 10.
He is a previous winner of the UK's annual teaching "Oscars", in the category of outstanding use of technology.
He has won an "expert educator" award from Microsoft and runs a YouTube computer science channel, which has had 250,000 views.
He will be up against rivals from countries including China, Brazil, Kenya and Australia.
Sunny Varkey, founder of the Varkey Foundation, said he wanted the award to "shine a powerful spotlight on the incredible work teachers do all over the UK and throughout the world every day".
The 10 finalists for the Global Teacher Prize 2017 are:
Wearing black T-shirts and yellow ribbons, the symbols of the city's democracy movement, they have taken to the streets in response to a decision by the senior Chinese leadership to set out clear limits on who can run for the position of chief executive, Hong Kong's top leader, in 2017.
The rules make it virtually impossible for anyone not trusted by the Chinese government to stand for election.
As a result, the protesters accuse Beijing of reneging on decades of vows to give Hong Kong people genuine democracy.
But although there is widespread anger that Beijing may have violated the spirit of the agreements it has made, there is intense debate over whether it has violated the letter of the law.
Alan Hoo, a top barrister and expert on the Basic Law, the city constitution, told BBC News that China had not broken any promises.
"I think that its position is grossly misunderstood," he says. "Firstly, it's not a promise. It is a legal obligation, a constitutional obligation that they put in the Basic Law."
Mr Hoo, chairman of the Basic Law Institute and a well-known pro-Beijing figure in Hong Kong, is referring to Article 45 of the Basic Law, which refers specifically to one person, one vote.
"The ultimate aim is the selection of the chief executive by universal suffrage upon nomination by a broadly representative nominating committee in accordance with democratic procedures," it says.
It is Beijing's conservative interpretation of that line that has brought tens of thousands of protesters onto the streets.
According to the rules announced at the end of August by the Standing Committee of China's parliament, candidates for chief executive must gain the support of a majority of a nominating committee.
There can be only two to three candidates.
CY Leung, the current chief executive, has further clarified that the nominating committee will be modelled on the existing election committee - composed of members largely loyal to Beijing - that selected him in 2012.
"The people on the streets are asking for the right to nominate," says Mr Hoo. "Universal suffrage, under the international covenant, means that there are express rights to elect or be elected. There is no express right to nominate."
This argument is disputed by those, including the former Hong Kong governor Chris Patten, who accuse the Chinese government of refusing to live up to its commitments by hiding behind flexible legal language.
Years before the then British colony was returned to China in 1997, a number of senior Chinese leaders had assured the Hong Kong public that one person, one vote would be in its future.
In a comment in the official People's Daily newspaper in March 1993, Lu Ping, then the director of the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office, said: "How Hong Kong develops its democracy in the future is entirely within the autonomy of Hong Kong."
And in a letter written in May 1984, then Premier Zhao Ziyang promised university students in Hong Kong that protecting the people's democratic rights was a basic principle of the government.
He assured them that there would, someday, be democratic rule in Hong Kong.
But just five years later, Mr Zhao, a relatively liberal-minded leader, would be punished for siding with the student demonstrators on Tiananmen Square, spending the rest of his life under house arrest.
Emily Lau, chairwoman of the city's Democratic Party, believes those previous promises should still be honoured.
She says universal suffrage should mean voters be given a choice of candidates from different political persuasions.
North Korea and Iran also have one person, one vote, she says, but a sharply restricted list of candidates.
"Are we going to be like Iran or North Korea?" she asks. "No, we are Hong Kong. We want to go by international standards and give voters a genuine choice."
The demonstrators say that, for the crowds to recede, the Hong Kong and Chinese governments must listen to the voices of the people.
They argue that the general public are, at heart, pragmatic people who understand they are ultimately Chinese citizens.
Ms Lau adds: "Whoever is elected by the Hong Kong people to be chief executive, I am quite sure that person would love China and love Hong Kong and would be able to defend the interest of the Hong Kong people and would also be able to work with Beijing.
"Such people exist. Just give us some space, so that they can be nominated. And allow the people to elect."
Q&A: Hong Kong's democracy controversy
States of emergency have been declared in the Coromandel Peninsula and Bay of Plenty, with landslips, flash flooding and downed power lines closing roads.
Some coastal communities have been evacuated and thousands of homes left without power.
The storm was expected to pass over the capital, Welllington, overnight.
Cyclone Cook killed one person when it swept through the Pacific islands of New Caledonia earlier this week.
The storm made landfall in the Bay of Plenty at about 18:30 local time (06:30 GMT) on Thursday, where it knocked out power to much of the town of Whakatane, Radio NZ reported.
Red Cross spokeswoman Lauren Hayes told the broadcaster that 114 people were staying in a civil defence shelter there.
Some had arrived with "tales of near misses with uprooted trees and other debris", she tweeted.
The storm then moved on to batter Hawkes Bay on the eastern coast, where two people were hospitalised after a tree hit their car, the New Zealand Herald reported.
One resident, Malcolm Davie, told the newspaper "enormous gusts like freight trains" had been hitting his house.
"We're really getting hammered. It's a lot worse than we thought," he is quoted as saying.
About 11,000 people in the area were without power, as of 02:00 local time, according to the Unison power company.
Air New Zealand cancelled flights out of Rotorua, Tauranga, Napier and Hamilton in the North Island, and Nelson and Blenheim in the South Island.
The New Zealand Met office said the storm was expected to pass over Wellington at about 03:00 local time on Friday, before reaching Kaikoura on the east of the South Island at 06:00.
Severe weather warnings for Auckland, Coromandel and the Bay of Plenty have now been lifted.
Forecasters have been warning of 5m (16ft) waves, storm surges and 150km/h (90mph) winds.
Schools and businesses across the island closed early on Thursday, while residents in affected areas were urged to stock up on emergency supplies and avoid all but essential travel.
The storm comes after severe floods caused by the remnants of Cyclone Debbie hit some parts of the country last week.
The storm has been classified as an extra-tropical cyclone. That means it has changed into a different weather system as it approached to New Zealand, but has not necessarily weakened or been downgraded, according to New Zealand's MetService.
The cyclone formed around Vanuatu on Sunday before moving towards New Caledonia, bringing heavy rain and winds and causing cuts to power and water supplies.
New Zealand weather officials said Cyclone Cook would be the worst to hit the country since 1968.
They have warned that it would bring a "phenomenal" amount of rain and wind, reported The New Zealand Herald newspaper, compared with Cyclone Debbie which was more spread out.
Cyclone Debbie hit Australia at the end of March, before its remnants moved towards New Zealand.
It soaked New Zealand cities like Wellington and Auckland. Authorities are now worried about how Cyclone Cook will impact land that is already saturated from heavy rains.

A new voter registration "geofilter" has been launched to remind users to register for the 4 May vote before the deadline on Monday 17 April.
Next month marks the first Scotland-wide council elections that 16 and 17-year-olds are eligible to vote in.
Research suggests young people are less likely to register than older voters.
Only 69% of 18-34 year-olds are correctly registered across Britain compared to 96% of those aged 65 and over.
The new geofilter, or art overlay, can be added to images taken and shared through the Snapchat social network.
Andy O'Neill, head of the Electoral Commission in Scotland, said: "Working with Snapchat gives us a fantastic opportunity to reach a typically under-registered audience and let young people in Scotland know that they can use their voice in these elections.
"However, they need to be registered by 17 April. It only takes a few minutes to register at www.gov.uk/register-to-vote."
The commission is also working with social networks Facebook and Nextdoor to encourage voter registration.
The council has proposed closing nine of its centres which support families, particularly disadvantaged ones.
Its cabinet is expected to approve a three-month public consultation over the proposals on 26 February.
The council said a government grant which funded the centres had been cut by nearly a third.
The reduction was equivalent to £3.8m over the next two years, a spokesman said.
Councillors had agreed not to pass on "the full extent of the cuts" to children's services, but are slashing £1.5m a year from the service, a 23% budget cut.
The centres provide activities and services, including baby clinics, parenting classes and play sessions.
Under the proposals, centres would be retained in eight designated areas and these would "act as a focus for early year's children and family support services".
John Welsby, assistant director for children, young people and families, said: "We are determined to minimise the impact that this will have by continuing to provide the help and support that young children and their families in Wolverhampton need."
The Labour-run council announced on Tuesday it would make £17m of cuts in its 2013-2014 budget.
The council says it needs to cut almost £68m over five years and will be reviewing youth services, street cleaning and council premises.
The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) says there are nearly 20,000 unfilled posts in England.
And it says more than a fifth of trusts are recruiting nurses from abroad.
The government says staffing levels have improved - there are now over 1,350 more qualified nurses, midwives and health visitors than a year ago.
The RCN sent requests under the Freedom of Information Act to all acute, mental health and community NHS trusts in England as part of its three-year-old Frontline First campaign against job cuts.
Some 61 organisations replied - representing a response rate of 24%.
The trusts who responded had an average vacancy rate of 6% - though in some trusts this was as high as 16%.
The union believes this constitutes "a hidden workforce crisis".
The RCN asked for the data because the government stopped collecting it in 2011. The last available figures showed a vacancy rate of 2.5%.
More trusts - 140 - answered questions about overseas recruitment. These replies showed 22% were recruiting nurses from abroad, while a further 9% were considering the possibility.
Earlier this year an inquiry highlighted the "appalling and unnecessary suffering of hundreds of people" at Stafford Hospital in Staffordshire.
The Francis report found systemic failures that went right to the top of the NHS in England.
On Tuesday the RCN's head of policy, Howard Catton, said: "In recent months we've seen the 'Francis effect' after the report into Stafford Hospital, with some trusts unfreezing posts that were vacant.
"But when they've gone to the market to try to recruit staff, they've found it difficult. This is because there's been a cut in the number of nursing student places.
"And overseas recruitment is more difficult, because there's a shortage of many thousands of nurses across the EU."
Official figures show 5,870 nursing posts have been lost in England since 2010.
Dr Peter Carter, chief executive and general secretary of the RCN, said: "Unsafe staffing levels have been implicated in a number of high profile investigations into patient safety.
"We call on employers in the NHS to put an end to boom-and-bust workforce planning and develop clear standards to ensure safe staffing levels are met, supported by robust inspection based on reliable data."
Health Minister Norman Lamb said: "Nursing leaders have been clear that hospitals should publish staffing details and the evidence to show the numbers are right for the services they deliver.
"Patient-safety experts agree that safe staff-patient ratios should be set locally.
"We will be announcing more on our plans to guide staffing decisions in our full response to the Francis report later this autumn.
"Overall, the number of clinical staff in the NHS has increased by nearly 4,100 and the number of admin staff has fallen by 22,800.
"The chief inspector of hospitals will be able to take action if trusts are found to be compromising patient care by not having the right number of staff on wards."
Jane Cummings, Chief Nursing Officer for England, said a growing number of Trusts were reviewing and increasing their nurse staffing levels to meet local patient need.
Shadow health secretary Andy Burnham said: "David Cameron is making matters worse. We should be bringing on the next generation of British nurses, but he's cutting trainee nurse posts whilst wasting money on overseas recruitment."
The organisation NHS Employers said the figures needed to be seen in the context of the 347,000 qualified nurses working in the NHS every day. Every month the NHS recruits around 10,000 staff through natural turnover, it said. | Armed robbers threatened staff at a Glasgow wholesalers with a suspected gun before escaping with a sum of cash.

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

The PC was breaking up a brawl on 31 August in Elgin Crescent when the youth lashed out with the drawn knife.
At Wimbledon Youth Court, the teenager pleaded guilty to wounding and possession of a knife with intent to cause threats and violence.
Police arrested a total of 67 people for having weapons at the carnival.
The PC, from Catford Police Station, had to have stitches in the 1in (3cm) deep wound in his arm.
Det Supt Raffaele D'Orsi, from Kensington and Chelsea Police, said the case showed the dangers police face.
"I am thankful that his injury was not life-threatening," he said.
Ballot Monkeys will be set on campaign buses and written in real-time.
The writers will leave gaps in the script to allow for updates as the campaign hots up.
Miranda star Sarah Hadland also appears as a TV presenter-turned UKIP official and Hugh Dennis as a Tory campaigner.
The creators are Andy Hamilton and Guy Jenkin, the brains behind hit newsroom comedy Drop the Dead Donkey which ran for six series from 1990, and current BBC family sitcom Outnumbered, in which Dennis stars as the bemused dad.
Drop the Dead Donkey was also put together with gaps in the initial scripts to allow for up-to-date true-life events to be incorporated into the show.
Commenting on their latest project, Hamilton and Jenkin said: "We're very excited about this. We don't think anyone's done anything like this before, although we may find out why,"
'Brave or bonkers'
The series will be made up of five 30-minute episodes and will follow the ups and downs of the politicians, advisors, journalists and staff on board the battle buses of the Conservative, Labour, Liberal Democrat and UKIP campaigns.
"We haven't yet decided whether we're brave or bonkers," Fiona McDermott, Channel 4's commissioning editor for comedy, said.
"But a real-time satirical sitcom like Ballot Monkeys could only be handled by the remarkable Andy Hamilton and Guy Jenkin."
She added: "We are thrilled to have them and such an amazing cast on board our buses."
Ballot Monkeys is the latest in a line of politically-inspired shows made by Channel 4.
Previous programmes have included UKIP: The First 100 Days, imagining life under a UKIP government, and Coalition - which recreated the talks which led to the formation of the last government.
Niki Goneva's smart finish in the corner and Mike Fitzgerald's try after a Munster line-out error gave the English side a half-time lead.
Munster looked set to launch a comeback as James Cronin touched down.
But the Tigers scored through Ben Youngs, and even though Mike Sherry replied, the Irish province suffered a rare home defeat in the competition.
It is only the fifth time in 67 games that Munster have failed to win a home match in Europe's elite cup competition - and two of those have been defeats by Leicester.
Munster are nine points adrift of Richard Cockerill's Pool Four leaders - although they have played one fewer fixture.
It was a superb victory for the Tigers, who were clinical in the Munster half after having withstood waves of home pressure.
Munster did not struggle for possession in the opposition 22, but their forward pack were outmuscled by Leicester's, with England hooker Tom Youngs and countryman Ed Slater leading the resistance, while Locky McCaffrey dominated at the breakdown.
However, Ireland head coach Joe Schmidt, with his squad for the Six Nations in February to consider, would have been pleased by the performance of CJ Stander.
The South Africa-born number eight is now qualified to play for Ireland through residency, and the 25-year-old looked confident with the ball in hand, carrying into the Tigers defence.
But the hosts were undone by two key errors either side of half-time, as Niall Scannell's overthrow from a line-out gave Fitzgerald a simple finish, before Ben Youngs turned over possession on the Munster 22 before picking his way through a bemused defence.
It was a try scored while the Tigers were down to 14 men, with Marcos Ayerza in the sin bin, and was a blow Anthony Foley's side could not recover from.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Judging on Tuesday had to be postponed after two cases of vandalism in the village overnight.
Police have appealed for information after large planter pots outside Parkanaur Forest Park were tipped over and plants in a garden at a house on Kileeshill Road were also destroyed.
Ulster Unionist MLA Rosemary Barton said members of the Castlecaufield Horticultural Society had put tremendous effort into the competition.
She said the damage may have been caused to ruin the village's chances of winning it.
"It is clear that there are some out there who are intent on disrupting the chances of Castlecaufield being crowned Village in Bloom 2016 and Britain in Bloom 2016," she said.
"Judging was set to take place in the village today, however, following this pointless act of vandalism last night, I believe judging has been postponed until Monday August 1.
"Various flower pots containing beautiful displays have been smashed across the road. I cannot comprehend the reasoning behind such an attack.
"The members of the Castlecaufield Horticultural Society put in tremendous effort each year for the Village in Bloom competition, so I am extremely annoyed to see their hard work being destroyed time and time again."
Sgt Brian Greenaway said: "I would appeal to anyone who say anything suspicious in either of these areas overnight, or to anyone who can assist in our enquiries in any way, to contact police in Dungannon on 101.
"Alternatively, information can be given anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."
It has been empty since Glasgow University academic Prof Muffy Calder stepped down in December 2014.
The position involves giving independent scientific advice to ministers on a range of issues.
Ministers said they had already committed to advertising the job by the end of the year.
The post of chief scientific adviser (CSA) was previously advertised between March and April this year, but the government was unable to appoint a successor.
The issue had also delayed the replacement of several members of the Scottish Science Advisory Council - including the chairman - whose terms of office ended earlier this year.
Their recruitment had been put on hold pending appointment of a new CSA, however, the government subsequently decided to move ahead with the process, and interviews are being held this week.
Science advice
In the last 12 months, the Scottish government has announced a moratorium on fracking and underground coal gasification, a ban on growing GM crops and has played a key role in the recent international climate change talks in Paris.
All are issues in which a chief scientific adviser may have provided advice to ministers.
Earlier this year, Prof Calder said the government's GM crops decision could have "apocalyptic" consequences and threaten the country's food and drinks industry.
Her views have been echoed by another former chief scientific adviser for Scotland, Dame Anne Glover.
The Scottish government said in September that it would advertise for a new chief scientific adviser, after asking for help from university principals and others to fill the post.
A government spokesperson said: "In the meantime, the remaining chief scientists, covering health and rural affairs, food and the environment, continue to carry out key tasks that would usually be done by the CSA Scotland.
"The Scottish government remains committed to drawing on the very best science advice and expertise."
Ministers said they hoped to announce the new members and chairman of the Scottish Science Advisory Council "early in 2016".
Bernhard Langer won the Senior Open at the Royal Porthcawl on Sunday - the German's 87th professional title but the first major to be staged in Wales.
And after a weekend of lavish praise from the players and 43,503 spectators, the Royal Porthcawl is being tipped to host golf's blue riband event, the Open.
The course has made a bid to the Royal & Ancient, golf's world governing body, to be added to its roster of Open venues, alongside illustrious locations such as St Andrews.
It was just one great hole after another and one great green complex after another. I really fell in love with it immediately
The Royal Porthcawl would need to satisfy a number of logistical and infrastructure requirements but, as far as the course is concerned, opinion is overwhelmingly positive.
Chief among the advocates is the great Tom Watson, who is convinced this 119-year-old course should host the Open.
"I talked to [R&A chief executive] Peter Dawson about the Open being played here and said that, in my opinion, it would be a great course for that," said Watson.
"I played my first practice round on Monday and, from the first hole on, it was just one great hole after another and one great green complex after another. I really fell in love with it immediately. It's a great golf course."
A five-time winner of the Open Championship, Watson is as sound a judge of a links course as anyone.
And there is no doubting the authenticity of his affection for the Royal Porthcawl.
It is not as if the American was turning on the charm to win over the locals - his mere presence was enough to do that, his effortless gravitas a magnetic pull for spectators around the course.
Watson was the main attraction of a stellar group on the opening two days of the Senior Open, playing alongside Colin Montgomerie and Fred Couples.
Although Ryder Cup great Montgomerie and former Masters champion Couples drew a significant following, their popularity paled in comparison to the reverence which met Watson at every tee and green.
Cool and courteous, Watson embodies the statesmanlike grandeur of a bygone era when he, Jack Nicklaus and others dominated golf with a ruthless professionalism but a gentlemanly sense of fairness and class too.
It is his standing in the game which gave his endorsement of the course such credence, and he was not the only notable name praising the Royal Porthcawl.
"I think it's a very underrated and underplayed golf course," said Montgomerie, who captained Europe to a Ryder Cup victory over the United States at Newport's Celtic Manor in 2010.
"The first five holes are particularly tricky, the eighth hole is a particularly good hole, while the 15th is a super par-three."
The difficulty of the course is one of its strongest selling points, with Watson and Langer among those to declare Royal Porthcawl a tougher proposition than Hoylake, which hosted the 2013 Open.
Wales is the only one of the home nations never to have staged the Open, though the events of the last week could help end that barren run.
Even before the leading lights of the Senior Open offered their support, there had already been political backing for a bid to host the Open at Porthcawl.
First Minister Carwyn Jones cited the 2010 Ryder Cup as proof of Wales' ability to stage major competitions.
"We have already proven that Wales can host top quality, international golf events," Jones said, at the launch of the Senior Open in 2013.
"We have the facilities, the venues, the infrastructure and, most importantly, the welcome that all add up to us being a great host country."
While the course is generally perceived to be ready for the rigours of an Open, the consensus seems to be that the infrastructure around the Royal Porthcawl requires work.
Roads leading to the course are narrow and residential, while local public transport could struggle to cater for the huge crowds that Open championships attract.
Support in the form of grants and sponsorship could improve the surrounding infrastructure but, even if the R&A gives its blessing, it could be a decade or so before the Royal Porthcawl is added to the Open roster.
It has the history befitting an Open venue, having hosted a number of European Tour events as well as the Walker Cup in 1995, when a 19-year-old Tiger Woods was a part of the United States team which lost to Great Britain and Ireland.
Woods may not relish a return to Wales, having also tasted defeat with the United States in the 2010 Ryder Cup at the Celtic Manor.
But if his fellow giants of the game - Watson et al - are granted their wish, golf's leading figures could one day be playing at the Royal Porthcawl on a regular basis.
But for some members of Cardiff's Somaliland community, the conflict in Syria is akin to a nightmare they have lived through.
"Maybe it was worse than Aleppo. There were bodies scattered everywhere, people dying in the streets, children," said Abdirahman Ahmed, about the war in his homeland.
He joined 150 people at Cardiff's city hall on Thursday to recognise the contribution of Welsh Somalilanders and to raise awareness of problems still afflicting the state 25 years after the war ended.
These include a lack of medical facilities, jobs or help for the large amount of men suffering from mental health problems and a crippling drought exacerbating the situation.
It was in 1870, after the opening of the Suez Canal, that men from Somaliland began travelling to Cardiff to work in the docks.
A community developed around Butetown and increased in size after 1969 when Somali dictator Mohamed Siad Barre seized power in a military coup.
Mr Ahmed, a health expert, was born in Burao in 1970 and said life was manageable until about 1984, when people started speaking out against the regime.
He said their voices were suppressed and a "power struggle" developed into a war in 1989, with Somalilanders intent on taking back control in their country.
With dissenters living in fear for their lives, constant shells and artillery fire, Mr Ahmed said he and his family fled, leaving everything behind.
"We walked miles and miles, about 150 in a few days. We would hide in the jungle during the day and just walk at night," he said.
"There were hundreds of people. We made it to a refugee camp in Ethiopia and luckily, my grandfather had been in the Navy and was retired in Cardiff.
"That connection with Wales, that 100 year friendship. Every elderly person in Cardiff requested a family reunion and me and my cousins were the lucky ones."
Mr Ahmed learned English, gained an environmental sciences degree and a teaching qualification before returning to Somaliland.
He worked voluntarily, helping to build hospitals and improve services as vice chairman of Somaliland's equivalent of the General Medical Council.
Now back in Cardiff, he works as a taxi driver while studying for a masters degree in biomedical science, adding: "My ambition is to revolutionise the health sector (in Somaliland)."
Another wanting to return is Faisal Isa, 49, who plans to seek election as an MP in the capital, Hargeisa.
He organised demonstrations in college before he fled in 1986.
Mr Isa spent five years as an asylum seeker in both Abu Dhabi and the Netherlands before studying to become a mechanical engineer, working for BP and Shell.
The Somaliland community drew him to Cardiff, which he believes is a good place for his five children to grow up. But he has other ambitions.
"The elections have been delayed until March 2017 because of the drought but it could be longer as there is no water and people are moving away," he said.
"I will move there if I win. The situation is so bad, I want to take examples from Wales and help people.
"People think they have to move abroad for a better life. But I want them to know there are a lot of good things that can happen there."
Another man looking forward to the elections in 2017 is Saeed Ebrahim - who wants to become a Labour councillor for the Butetown ward on Cardiff council.
His focus is on helping Somalilanders and other youths in his adopted city, many of whom would have been born in Wales.
After arriving in 1989, aged 10, he attended Willows High School, Tremorfa, played rugby for Cardiff Youth and gained a youth work degree from Cardiff Met.
He has been involved in projects across the city and sees the same problems affecting youngsters from different cultures, but thinks there should be a better understanding of where each comes from.
Mr Ebrahim believes many talented, young Somalilander professionals are lost to jobs teaching English abroad and should be encouraged to be more vocal in their pursuit of work in Cardiff.
Other issues include some being afraid to report hate crime and the threat of radicalisation.
"It needs to be brought to the surface, talked about and not tackled behind closed doors," he said.
But there is nothing that brings communities together quite like sport, according to Mohammed Yusuf.
He was one of the first appointments to the Welsh Refugee Council in 1994 and now provides training and employment opportunities to people in the area.
Mr Yusuf is also involved in a football tournament that tries to integrate the different communities like Somalilander, Yemeni, Palestinian, Sudanese and Bengali.
Last year, 1,000 people watched the winners - Somaliland - take on a South Wales Police side at the Principality Stadium.
"It brings people together and helps the different cultures understand how each lives and creates a better neighbourhood," he said.
"The police also have a role to play and it (the tournament) helps them understand the ethnic minorities and stops people being intimidated by them.
"Football is a good way - and it was an opportunity for the communities to represent themselves in the main stadium in Wales."
While many Welsh-Somalilanders left their homeland a long time ago, through playing sport, fundraising or simply using the language in their adopted country, they say it will never leave them.
Ms French, who lives in the county, said she had never been a chancellor before and planned to find out how she could best serve the students.
Students from the university - which was inaugurated in 2013 - designed the robes for her to wear.
To mark the event, a ceremony will also take place at King Charles the Martyr Church in Falmouth.
Talking about her outfit, Ms French said: "Honestly I couldn't be more delighted, it's a very modern shape, very contemporary and I've got a crown.
"It's so beautiful, I couldn't be doing with those Tudor bonnets that people wear.
"Honestly I think they make everyone look a bit like a hobbit."

The wing section, known as a flaperon, had been examined in France by international aviation experts.
French authorities launched searches on and around Reunion for more debris but none was found.
The Malaysia Airlines plane carrying 239 people veered off its course from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing in March 2014.
The Malaysian government had previously said it believed that the flaperon belonged to MH370.
French investigators had until now been more cautious on the provenance of the debris.
But on Thursday they said a technician from Airbus Defense and Space (ADS-SAU) in Spain, which had made the part for Boeing, had formally identified one of three numbers found on the flaperon as being the same as the serial number on MH370.
The magistrate charged with conducting the investigation and an aviation expert had gone to ADS-SAU headquarters on Thursday.
The families of those aboard - who were mostly Chinese - have been angered by the apparent discrepancies in statements by French and Malaysian officials, and have accused the authorities of hiding the truth.
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) has been co-ordinating the deep-sea search in the southern Indian Ocean, where the plane is believed to have gone down, thousands of miles east of Reunion.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott has said that the search would continue as "we owe it to the hundreds of millions of people who use our skies".
Missing Malaysia plane: What we know
Will debris solve MH370 mystery?
Police were called to Princess Way at around 03:00 GMT on Sunday. A man, 34, was taken to Morriston Hospital but later died.
No weapons were used during the incident, but his death is being treated as suspicious.
The 23-year-old arrested man is in custody at Swansea police station.
The area remains cordoned off while police examine the scene.
The man's family have been informed and are being supported by specially-trained officers.
Wang Yi said he urged Ri Yong-ho to abide by UN resolutions in a meeting on Sunday in the Philippines.
He did not say how Mr Ri replied.
Saturday's resolution banning North Korean exports and limiting investments in the country was passed unanimously.
Mr Wang said sanctions were needed, but "are not the final goal", and he urged dialogue. He said he had told North Korea to remain calm, and not provoke the international community with more tests.
The Chinese envoy also urged the US and South Korea not to increase tensions, saying that the situation was at a "critical point", but also a juncture at which talks could be resumed.
US envoy to the UN Nikki Haley earlier said North Korea was facing "the most stringent set of sanctions on any country in a generation".
Pyongyang tested two intercontinental ballistic missiles in July, claiming it now had the ability to hit the US.
However, experts doubt the missiles can hit their targets.
The tests were condemned by South Korea, Japan and the US, and prompted the drafting of the new UN sanctions.
China, North Korea's only international ally and a veto-wielding member of the UN Security Council, voted in favour of the resolution after negotiations with the US that Ms Haley said were "tough".
Beijing has often protected Pyongyang from harmful resolutions in the past.
Russia, which the US has also criticised for its economic links with North Korea, also voted for the sanctions.
Top diplomats including US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson are gathered for a regional forum under the aegis of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) in the Philippines' capital, Manila.
North Korea's nuclear programme is expected to be a major issue but there are no plans for a bilateral meeting between Mr Tillerson and the North Korean representative.
Speaking earlier as he sat down for talks with South Korean Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha, Mr Tillerson said the sanctions were a "good outcome".
Can the US defend itself against North Korea?
Jonathan Head, BBC South East Asia Correspondent
The steady advances in North Korean missile technology have lent a sense of urgency to US diplomacy in Asia, and Rex Tillerson's attendance at the Asean Regional Forum is well-timed.
The US wants a show of unity at this forum in condemning North Korea - uniquely, Mr Tillerson will find himself in the same room as his North Korean counterpart, Ri Yong-ho, although the two are very unlikely to speak to one another.
Mr Tillerson will also be holding bilateral meetings with his Russian and Chinese counterparts. Just by being at this diplomatic talkfest Rex Tillerson will offer a striking change of tone. In the first seven months of the Trump administration his voice has been subdued on Asia, whereas the president's comments have been seen by many Asian officials as erratic and at times inflammatory.
However there are important differences over how best to deal with North Korea. The US believes pressure must be ramped up on Pyongyang, to get it to reverse, not just freeze, its nuclear and missile programmes.
Many Asian countries fear the Trump administration's growing anxiety and anger over North Korea's missile tests risk escalating into a dangerous confrontation; there is still a broad consensus in this region that engagement, however frustrating, is the only way forward - so the US bid to have North Korea expelled from the Asean Regional Forum will meet plenty of resistance.
US President Donald Trump tweeted to say the sanctions would cost the North more than $1bn (£0.7bn).
The export of coal, ore and other raw materials to China is one of North Korea's few sources of cash. Estimates say that North Korea exports about $3bn worth of goods each year - and the sanctions could eliminate $1bn of that trade.
But China's participation will be key and top US diplomats say they will be keeping a close eye on Beijing to make sure it consistently abides by the sanctions.

Earlier this year, China suspended imports of coal to increase pressure on Pyongyang.
However, repeated sanctions have so far failed to deter North Korea from continuing with its missile development.
Beijing is also furious about the deployment of a US-funded missile defence system in South Korea and wants it to be scrapped.
North Korea has is yet to officially respond to the new sanctions. A senior official told South Korea's Yonhap news agency: "We will make our stance clear when things are determined."
But ruling party newspaper Rodong Sinmun earlier said nuclear action or sanctions taken by Washington would lead to an "unimaginable sea of fire" engulfing the US.
The isolated state's repeated missile and nuclear weapon tests in breach of UN resolutions have been condemned by neighbours in the region.
But South Korea says it may hold direct talks with the North during the Asean summit.
Its foreign minister said she was willing to talk to her counterpart from Pyongyang, if the chance "naturally occurs".
Altogether, 27 nations are sending representatives to the Asean Regional Forum.
Asean's 10 member states issued a joint statement saying they had "grave concerns" over North Korea's actions, which "seriously threaten peace".
Dan Evans, 29, from Abertillery, found four £50 tickets for Australia v Wales on 10 October among his mail at work.
After his Facebook campaign was shared thousands of times, he reunited them with Neil Pugh, 59, of Penarth.
Mr Evans said he was "totally chuffed" social media had come to the rescue and Mr Pugh admitted he was "relieved".
"I did offer him a reward but he wouldn't take anything but thanks," added Mr Pugh, a chartered accountant, who said his experience was "fraught".
"I paid £210 for each ticket on [ticket reselling website] Viagogo. I am relieved as much as anything because I bought four tickets and had taken the money from three friends for them.
"I hadn't told them about it but they have found out since."
Mr Evans, a technician, who works at Coleg Gwent's Ebbw Vale campus, discovered the tickets had inadvertently slipped into one of his parcels on Wednesday.
When he tried to telephone Mr Pugh on a number printed on a receipt he could only reach his voicemail, so he posted a notice online.
Mr Evans, who says he is "not the biggest rugby fan", was never tempted to cash-in when approached by people wanting to buy the tickets nor fooled by pretenders claiming to be Mr Pugh.
"I was getting a little bit worried. I gave myself a deadline - I was thinking, by the end of Friday, if I had not heard from them online I would have to ring round all the different ticket providers (to trace Mr Pugh)."
But after the Facebook campaign received 550 likes and more than 3,600 shares, Mr Pugh's daughter spotted it and got in touch.
"I'm totally chuffed. I can't describe it, to be honest," Mr Evans added.
Customers of RBS and its subsidiaries, NatWest and Ulster Bank, were unable to use Visa debit and credit cards.
An RBS spokesperson said the breakdown had "minimal customer impact".
It said the problems affected "a small number of people" conducting higher value and international transactions.
The problems started at 7.45am and were resolved by 9.15am, the bank said.
On Thursday, the bank was fined £56m by UK regulators over its huge systems crash in 2012, when 6.5 million customers - equivalent to 10% of the UK population - faced problems that lasted in some cases several weeks.
Also on Friday Barclays online customers experienced some difficulties with their service for a short time. A Barclays spokesperson told the BBC: "Barclays online banking service was unavailable for around an hour earlier today.
"All other services were up and running as usual during this time however we apologise to those customers that were impacted. We are currently investigating what caused this to prevent it happening again."
The Istanbul club confirmed on Sunday that Mancini had met club directors, posting a photo of the 48-year-old with chief executive Lutfi Aribogan.
The Italian replaces Fatih Terim, who after failing to agree a new contract.
exactly a year after he led them to their first Premier League title.
Galatasaray have made a disappointing start to the Turkish league season, picking up only one win from their first five games.
They are in a Champions League group with Real Madrid, who beat them 6-1 in their opening game, Juventus and FC Copenhagen.
Terim, 60, is one of the most influential people in the club's history, having led them to six of their record 19 domestic titles, as well as the 2000 Uefa Cup following an 11-year spell as a player.
Mancini won three successive Italian league titles and two Italian Cups with Inter Milan, before winning the FA Cup and Premier League with City.
The Italian's first match in charge will be Wednesday's Champions League clash at Juventus.
The Buddies, who face Dundee United in the Challenge Cup final on Saturday, had won just two league games before the turn of the year.
But after shipping out 10 players and bringing in 10 in January, the club's form picked up and they have won four of their last six Championship outings.
"We took an educated gamble in terms of making so many changes," Ross said.
The Buddies remain bottom of the Championship table but their fine recent run has brought them within one point of Ayr United, having played a game more, and a further three behind Dumbarton.
Players such as Rory Loy, Stelios Demetriou, Stephen McGinn and Cammy Smith signed on at St Mirren during the January window.
And while Ross credits January's sizeable squad overhaul for getting the Buddies back in the survival fight, it is not something he would want to repeat.
"Before the January transfer window opened, James (Fowler, his assistant) and myself spent a long time assessing what we needed to do and, for want of a better expression, we rolled the dice," Ross said on BBC Radio Scotland's Sportsound.
"We ended up with 10 players going out and 10 coming in, which is pretty remarkable and something, as a manager, I would prefer not to do ever again.
"However, with the ones we managed to recruit, some of those players I had worked with before and I trusted. Some we've been fortunate with, they've just been the right characters and the right fit for what we've wanted to try and do.
"The chemistry within the group off the pitch and on it is very good and that's been reflected in the performances and the results."
Ross took charge of the Paisley outfit in October 2016 following the sacking of Alex Rae, with the Buddies still without a league win at that stage.
As well as kick-starting their league campaign, Ross has helped guide them to the Challenge Cup final and is desperate to ensure they do not leave Fir Park empty-handed.
"For us it's a terrific opportunity to go and lift silverware and for the players to win a medal," he added.
"In an ideal world a cup win for us and a draw down at Somerset Park (where Ayr United host Dumbarton in the league) would be perfect, but let's get the cup win first and whatever happens there we'll deal with afterwards."
The final day of the two-week inquiry heard from Lincolnshire County Council which said the Eastern Bypass would reduce congestion and promote growth.
Residents objected to the scheme which would close a route into the city from three villages.
The inquiry concluded on Friday with a decision expected in the coming months.
The multimillion-pound project has been delayed by protests from villagers in Cherry Willingham, Reepham and Fiskerton because the proposed route would close Hawthorne Road.
They claim they would be forced to use a longer and more dangerous route, and want a road bridge installed.
But Simon Randle, representing the council, told the hearing the bridge would be too expensive.
He said that whilst there would be losers from the scheme, this had to be balanced against the wider objectives of reducing congestion and promoting growth and investment in Lincoln.
Councillor Richard Davies, speaking after the inquiry, said: "What we've seen is a culmination of two weeks really useful work.
"Everybody has had an opportunity to make their views heard we've debated some of the issues and we've had the opportunity in open discourse to really discuss in particular some of the objections."
The council's previous plans to link the A158 Wragby Road with the A15 Sleaford Road were rejected by the government in 2014 because of safety concerns over a bridge.
It has since been redesigned but still does not take traffic.
Former shadow welfare minister Helen Goodman made the move without the blessing of interim party leader Harriet Harman.
Ms Goodman says 40 MPs back her attempt to reject the Welfare Bill.
Ms Harman has said that if the party "opposed everything" it would "succeed on nothing".
Earlier this week, she said Labour had to recognise that one of the reasons it lost the general election was because it was not trusted on welfare spending.
She has urged the party to abstain on the Welfare Reform Bill, warning against "blanket opposition" to reform.
BBC political correspondent Chris Mason said: "There is now the prospect of the acting Labour leader either being forced to back down in the face of opposition from her own side, or Labour being divided in a Commons vote."
A Labour Party spokesman said it would make its intentions clear "fairly shortly".
Bishop Auckland MP Ms Goodman, who has left Labour's front bench to join the Treasury select committee, had announced the move on Twitter, writing: "With 40 other MPs I've put down a motion to reject Tory Welfare bill, because it will push more children esp in big families into poverty."
Other Labour MPs wrote of their support on Twitter, with Warrington North's Helen Jones tweeting: "Glad so many MPs are supporting our motion to reject Tory Welfare Bill, which will push families on low wages further into poverty."
The US Anti-Doping Agency (Usada) gave retrospective permission after Mayweather had the drip of saline and vitamins on the eve of his 2 May fight.
But the NSAC says only it could approve the drip, and not Usada.
Pacquiao wants a rematch, according to the AFP news agency.
Usada said it granted unbeaten American Mayweather, 38, a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) for the infusion, in accordance with NSAC regulations.
But NSAC executive director Bob Bennett told BBC Sport: "Anyone should know worldwide, if you fight in the state of Nevada we are the sole authority for approving a TUE.
"Usada has been known historically as the premier performance-enhancing drugs-testing organisation and they have an outstanding record. But they do not have the authority to authorise a TUE to a fighter in the state of Nevada."
Mayweather's drip, administered to combat dehydration after a tough training session, had already attracted controversy.
A report claimed he received favourable treatment from Usada in being given permission to have it. It said, although the substances in question were not banned, an IV drip "can dilute or mask the presence of another substance that is already in the recipient's system".
Usada said the report was "riddled with significant inaccuracies and misrepresentations", while Mayweather highlighted his own anti-doping stance.
"I follow and have always followed the rules of Nevada and Usada, the gold standard of drug-testing," he said.
"Let's not forget that I was the one six years ago who insisted on elevating the level of drug-testing for all my fights."
Bennett explained the process of successfully obtaining a TUE, adding that it was very rare for one to be granted so close to a fight.
"The process is you go online and you submit an application with supportive evidence from your doctor. Upon our receiving it, we give the application to our doctor. After his review we will determine if a TUE is approved.
"We are very meticulous, we look a each TUE very thoroughly before our doctors make a final decision. We want to do all this for the health and safety of the fighter.
"I don't recall a time when we have authorised a pre-fight TUE for an intravenous drip. I'm not saying it hasn't ever happened, but I don't recall it."
BBC Sport's Ade Adedoyin in Las Vegas: "The Manny Pacquiao camp are quite unhappy about his situation.
"They point to the fact that before Pacquiao went out to face Mayweather he asked for permission to have an injection of painkillers but was denied by the NSAC.
"One of his business advisors has spoken to the media and has been saying how ironic it is for Mayweather to be in this situation now.
"He has also says that perhaps the best way forward is for Mayweather and Pacquiao to have a rematch."
Pacquiao has been addressing the media in his native Phillipines and has called for a rematch.
The 36-year-old was refused an anti-inflammatory shoulder injection before his fight with Mayweather - the richest in the history of the sport - after failing to notify the correct authorities.
He later blamed the injury for his points defeat, claiming it stopped him using his right hand.
"That is why I want a rematch," AFP news agency quoted him as saying. "One without any injury and with fair play. No favouritism. Not one where the Mayweather camp gets to dictate all the terms and conditions.
"The Mayweather camp accused me of using performance-enhancing drugs. Now look what happened. The truth has finally came out and I was vindicated.
"If needed, the NSAC should impose the appropriate sanction to sustain its credibility and to show the world they did not give preferential treatment to the Mayweather camp."
The 32-year-old hit 12 boundaries in his 127 before driving Chris Liddle (4-54) to extra cover in the 44th over.
Nick Browne (42) and Varun Chopra (41) provided good support as Essex posted 315-8 under gloomy skies at Chelmsford.
Phil Mustard made 90 and Ian Cockbain struck 79 in the chase, but the visitors struggled to keep up with the run-rate and they finished on 286-8.
Cook, who can play in all of Essex's matches until England's first Test against South Africa in July, was given a life on 67 when he was dropped on the mid-wicket boundary by Jack Taylor off paceman Liam Norwell.
But the rest of the innings was chanceless, as England's all-time leading Test run-scorer brought up his three figures off 110 balls.
Just as Gloucestershire looked well set on 175-2 and ready to accelerate, Mustard fell swiping Matt Quinn to Cook at deep square-leg 10 short of an eighth List A hundred.
Cockbain, off the back of his match-winning century at Lord's on Sunday, continued to fight valiantly to bring the equation down to 60 runs off 30 balls, but then skied Ravi Bopara (3-34) to Cook ending any chance of victory.
Essex have now won their opening three matches in the competition, while Gloucestershire have lost two out of three.
Islington Council said the poster in Highbury Fields, north London, had been put up "in error" by a junior worker.
It read: "Please do not attach or affix any structures or objects to the park furniture and trees at Highbury Fields including the benches and lamp posts."
A council spokesman said it had now moved the notice to a nearby noticeboard.
The notice, which asked residents to respect the park and be responsible, was spotted by Nadi Jahangiri, an architect who lives nearby.
He said: "A lot of people have been putting signs up on the trees about lost cats and so on with drawing pins - it really annoys me.
"I walked up to it to rip it down, only to find it was telling people not to attach anything to trees!"
He continued: "Lots of people soon gathered around laughing.
"There was lots of grumpy huffiness and indignation about our taxes being used for this.
"If you want to stop someone doing something, doing it yourself is an odd way to go about it - but that's Islington Council for you."
A spokesman for the council said: "This was a mistake by a junior member of staff who thought they were doing the right thing to protect the trees.
"Yesterday we removed the sign to a nearby noticeboard as intended."
Andrus Nomm was sentenced to a year in jail after pleading guilty on Friday to conspiracy to commit copyright infringement while working for the now defunct file-sharing site.
The US is currently trying to extradite Mr Dotcom, who founded Megaupload, from New Zealand to stand trial.
Mr Dotcom denies wrongdoing.
The US Department of Justice (DoJ) has alleged that Megaupload's staff had "operated websites that wilfully reproduced and distributed infringing copies of copyrighted works" over a period of five years, causing more than $400m (£260m) of harm to copyright owners.
Nomm - a 36-year-old Estonian citizen - agreed to this damages estimate as part of his plea, according to a press release from the DoJ. He had been living in the Netherlands before he travelled to Virginia to make the deal with the US authorities.
The DoJ added that Nomm had acknowledged that through his work as a computer programmer for Megaupload, he had become aware of copyright-infringing material being stored on its sites, including films and TV shows that had contained FBI anti-piracy warnings.
It said he had also admitted to having downloaded copyright-infringing files himself.
"This conviction is a significant step forward in the largest criminal copyright case in US history," said assistant attorney general Leslie Caldwell.
Hong Kong-based Megaupload was one of the world's most visited "cyber locker" sites when its domain names and assets were seized in January 2012, at the request of the US authorities.
Mr Dotcom has long maintained that he had not encouraged users to upload pirated material, and has said he cannot be held responsible for what others had stored on his service.
At the end of last week Friday he tweeted: "I have nothing but compassion and understanding for Andrus Nomm and I hope he will soon be reunited with his son."
In an interview with Radio New Zealand, Mr Dotcom's lawyer attempted to play down the significance of the latest development.
"Mr Nomm [was] interested in just getting one year and being done with this, essentially [he] lost on procedure rather than merit," said Ira Rothken.
"It looks like a scripted guilty plea that was more of a Hollywood public relations stunt.
"Andrus Nomm was involved particularly in video streaming and... video streaming is never a copyright crime in the United States.
"The other points that were made during his plea bargain was that he claimed that no filtering was going on - but the failure to filter was at most a civil issue and not a criminal issue.
"And then he also said that Kim Dotcom evidently did not care about copyrights, not withstanding the robust notice and takedown policies of Megaupload. And the notion that someone does not care is also not a crime, it's not even a civil wrong."
Mr Dotcom and five other individuals face charges of conspiracy to commit racketeering, conspiracy to commit copyright infringement, conspiracy to commit money laundering and wire fraud.
An extradition hearing for Mr Dotcom and three of the other accused is scheduled to take place in Auckland in June.
It found Kentmere inpatient unit at Westmorland General Hospital, Cumbria did not meet national standards and placed those using services "at risk".
The 12-bed ward treats people with acute psychiatric conditions.
MP for Westmorland and Lonsdale Tim Farron, said it would be "absolutely outrageous" to lose the ward.
The report, published in March, outlined that the Kentmere Unit and associated Health Based Place of Safety did not meet the expected standards set out in national guidance, including same sex accommodation.
This "placed people who use these services at risk and did not provide an environment which supported good care and treatment".
Cumbria Partnership NHS Foundation Trust said it was a "longstanding issue" which it had tried to improve over a number of years but "all possible options" had been "exhausted".
The trust said the CQC "validated its concerns" that the alterations that had been made were "not sustainable" and that should not continue to be tolerated.
Lib Dem MP Mr Farron said it would be an "outrage" for people to have to travel for mental health services and he "strongly supports" making changes and upgrading the ward to make it safer for patients.
He said: "The one thing that is utterly unacceptable is any thought that we would close mental health services in Kendal and lose ward 4."
The unit is expected to permanently close by the end of June.
Malta's Prime Minister Joseph Muscat made his comments as a British-Irish council meeting was being held in Wales.
The implications of leaving the EU were discussed at the summit by the first and deputy first ministers.
The talks were hosted by Welsh First Minister Carwyn Jones.
In a BBC interview, Mr Muscat, whose country assumes the EU's presidency in January, said: "There will be issues relating to borders, especially the Irish issue, which I think is one of the most politically sensitive issues. I think there is a political willingness from everyone to have it resolved."
The prime minister of Malta also said EU leaders were not "bluffing" when they said the UK will be left without access to the single market when it leaves the bloc if there is no free movement of people.
"This is really and truly our position and I don't see it changing," he said.
The talks in Cardiff were also attended by the Northern Ireland Secretary of State, James Brokenshire, as well as Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny.
Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness said it was still not clear what Brexit would involve and said Prime Minister Theresa May should have been there.
"I think the British prime minister should have been here today," he said.
"She is a new British prime minister, this was her first opportunity to attend the meeting of the British Irish Council and to meet with the devolved institutions and the crown dependencies and I think it was a missed opportunity on her behalf."
This is the third summit for the normally biannual group in 2016, after an emergency session also hosted in Wales following the EU referendum.
Varying approaches to early years education and child care are also expected to be on the agenda.
The Association of Teachers and Lecturers claims the promotion of ideal body images is reducing both boys' and girls' confidence in their own bodies.
Last year, the All Party Parliamentary Group on Body Image recommended all children took part in compulsory body image and self-esteem lessons.
The union will discuss the issue of body image among pupils at its annual conference in Liverpool next week.
In a survey of 693 members across the UK, the union found 78% thought girls suffered low self-esteem and 51% thought boys had low confidence in their body image.
In addition, 59% of staff said that worries about body image made female pupils anxious and 30% said it caused anxiety in male pupils.
Some 55% said that girls were "ultra-sensitive" to comments about their appearance and 27% said boys took comments to heart.
Pressure to achieve the perfect body meant girls were likely to go on a diet, according to 54% of staff and boys were prone to start excessive exercise regimes, said 30% of those surveyed.
Asked where the pressure came from, 94% of those surveyed said they believed the media, including television, magazines, music videos, adverts and social media was the biggest influence on female pupils and also on male pupils (68%).
Peers of the same sex were also highlighted as a key cause of pressure on female pupils to look good by 83% of respondents and on male pupils by 54%.
A teacher at a secondary academy in Wandsworth, London, said: "I find that boys who are shorter than their peers are extremely sensitive and manifest either disruptive behaviour or are very withdrawn."
One early years teacher in England said: "I work with four to five-year-olds and some say things like, 'I can't eat cheese, it will make me fat!'"
A teacher at a secondary school in Northern Ireland said: "In my year 11 GCSE English class, the girls all openly admitted to feeling pressure about body image and many of the boys confessed to it too, although they said that usually they wouldn't admit to it affecting them.
A head of department at a secondary school in Exeter said: "Digital and social media are a nightmare with 'anonymous' sites that slate students in the most appalling terms on their appearance, personality and anything judge-able."
"Despite knowing about airbrushing, the girls still feel the need to aspire to unrealistic notions of beauty."
Association of Teachers and Lecturers general secretary Mary Bousted said: "Young people are under tremendous pressure to have or maintain often unrealistic body images portrayed in the media.
"ATL members report that this not only impacts on female pupils but increasingly leads to low self-esteem, lack of confidence and anxiety in male pupils too.
"With academic and other social pressures, young people already have enough to deal with."
Last November, Central YMCA Qualifications announced plans for a UK qualification in body image.
The award - body image and the relationship to well-being - will cover topics such as body image in the media, self-esteem, diet and exercise and aims to help young people aged 11 to 14 build a more positive body image.
It is hoped the qualification - currently with the exams regulator, Ofqual, for approval - will be rolled out in secondary schools in the UK from next year, possibly as part of PSHE (personal, social and health education) or free study periods.
After failing to qualify for a second straight Nations Cup the fans and players of the 2013 champions will have to watch from the sidelines again.
The 27-year-old says the reality of their failure will really hit home when the tournament kicks off on 14 January.
"I felt bad - not just me but Nigerians as a whole are not happy," he admitted
"Seeing teams playing in the Nations Cup and you see yourself at home you know you're not going to the Nations Cup that's when i am going to feel bad."
"You know you don't have to dwell on that, we don't have to kill ourselves about that.
"We have to work towards the next one and keep pushing hopefully we will qualify."
Before they can think about reaching the next Nations Cup in Cameroon the Super Eagles have the 2018 World Cup qualifiers to negotiate.
Nigeria are currently top of their World Cup group with two wins out of two and continue their campaign at home to Cameroon in August.
The New York-based judge upheld the US government's contention that Mr Modi was entitled to immunity as a sitting head of government.
A rights group filed the civil suit against Mr Modi in September on the eve of his maiden visit to the US.
More than 1,000 people, mostly Muslims, were killed in the religious riots.
The riots were sparked by a fire on a train at Godhra in Gujarat that killed 59 Hindu pilgrims.
Mr Modi, who was the chief minister of Gujarat at the time of the riots, came under intense criticism for his handling of the riots. Human rights groups say he failed to take measures to prevent retribution against Muslims
Mr Modi has denied any wrongdoing and Indian courts have cleared him of all charges.
In September, The American Justice Centre filed a lawsuit against Mr Modi, which claimed that he did nothing to stop the riots.
The 28-page complaint also charged the prime minister with "committing crimes against humanity, extra-judicial killings, torture and inflicting mental and physical trauma on the victims, mostly from the Muslim community".
Judge Analisa Torres's dismissal of the lawsuit comes ahead of a planned visit to Delhi by US President Barack Obama to attend India's Republic Day celebrations on 26 January at Mr Modi's invitation.
The US and European countries boycotted Mr Modi for more than a decade after the riots, but have largely embraced him after he led his Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to a landslide election win last year.
Mr Modi visited the US in September and held talks with Mr Obama, where the two leaders called for a "new agenda" between the two countries.
Warren and Richie Ramsay finished third for Scotland in the inaugural tournament in St Albans behind Denmark.
The format involved 16 nations, with each of the six holes distinguished by a theme like closest to the pin.
"With so many other sports appealing to kids, to try to reinvent golf can only be good for the game," Warren said.
"It is taking it to a new audience. It is much faster, a more instant format, which in this day and age, is hugely important.
"If golf was left the way it was, it would slowly die out, but new formats like this bring new people to the game and gives people a new appreciation of what golf's about."
The 16 nations were split into four groups, with the top two advancing to the quarter-finals. Both team members teed off, with one ball then being chosen and alternate shots being played.
Among the themes for the six holes were a long-drive contest and a 40-second shot clock, with a prize of £850,000 for the winning country.
Warren says traditionalists should not treat the innovation as a threat to the longer format of the game, but see it as a means to making the sport more attractive to a younger audience.
"It's still golf. You're still going to have majors and the standard, traditional events that are going to be four-day stroke play format," Warren said.
"But there's definitely a place for this. Traditionalists will have to get on board or they are going to be left behind. It's as simple as that.
"Golf, like every other sport, is evolving and trying to attract new people to the game and, at the end of the day it's still hitting a golf ball around the golf course and trying to beat your opponents.
"It was pretty exciting with all the new things that were going on, like the entrance to the first tee, the shot clock on the fourth hole and some new innovations. The crowds were great and it was a real fun atmosphere to play in.
Warren's next tournament will be the BMW at Wentworth and he has still to qualify for this year's Open at Royal Birkdale.
The Scot's ambition is to break into the world's top 50 and he believes he has almost returned to full fitness after nine weeks off the course with a "shoulder issue".
"A couple of years ago, I was round about top 50 in the world and that was great. You start playing in all the WGCs and all the majors," Warren said.
"That would be the main goal at the minute. It is what I feel my game is capable of and there have been little signs of that in the past and hopefully I can show more of that in the future."
Three teams are battling to finish top of the table, Bath and Leicester will fight it out for the all-important fourth play-off spot and Harlequins and Northampton will aim to secure an automatic European Champions Cup place for next season.
The only certainty is that bottom side Bristol are already relegated.
BBC Sport takes a closer look at how things could shape up once the final whistle blows on Saturday.
It appears so. Over the past 10 seasons, only Saracens (twice), Northampton, London Irish and Leicester Tigers have tasted victory away from home in the semi-finals.
In 2016, Saracens thumped Tigers 44-17, while Exeter edged to a tense 34-23 win over Wasps at Sandy Park.
So who is going to enjoy the home comforts on 20 May?
In short, if Premiership leaders Wasps beat reigning champions Saracens at the Ricoh Arena, Wasps and Exeter will get home ties.
A win for Sarries makes sure their semi-final will be at fortress Allianz Park. However, the omens for Saracens fans are not good - Wasps have won all 10 league matches at home this campaign.
Wasps director of rugby Dai Young said he "thought the game would have a prize on it" when he saw the fixture list at the start of the season. The prize could well be a Premiership final if history is anything to go by.
If Exeter overcome Gloucester at Kingsholm, they will guarantee themselves a play-off match in the south west, but their fate could be decided in Coventry.
Potential semi-finals:
Since the 2005-06 season when the top four started automatically qualifying for the play-offs, only Saracens, in 2015, have won the trophy after finishing fourth.
In fact, only fourth-placed finishers Leicester, in 2008, and Northampton, in 2013, have made the showpiece event at Twickenham.
On Saturday, 10-time champions Leicester are in prime position to claim the final play-off spot for a third-straight campaign - they effectively need just a losing bonus-point at Worcester.
Bath, runners-up in 2015, must take home all five points at Sale, and hope Warriors do them a favour at Sixways with a big win.
The battle for sixth spot is fairly complicated. If Northampton beat Harlequins and Quins take away no points, Saints will finish sixth and qualify for the European Champions Cup in 2017-18.
A losing bonus-point for Quins, and only four points for Saints, means the two teams finish level on points, but Quins will qualify for Europe on virtue of having more wins.
This is where it gets even more confusing. The team that finishes seventh enters a play-off with the seventh-placed Top 14 club in France, and eighth and ninth-placed sides in the Pro12, with the winner earning a Champions Cup spot.
The play-offs and final take place over the last two weekends in May.
After Saturday's results, Gloucester, Saints, Quins and Newcastle could all finish seventh.
However, if the Cherry and Whites finish eighth in the Premiership, which is likely, and win their Challenge Cup final against Stade Francais on 12 May, they will enter the play-offs for the Champions Cup instead of the seventh-placed side.
Make sense? Hopefully it will all become clearer by the end of Saturday.

The winner of the prestigious award has been selected from a list of 376 candidates - 228 are individuals and 148 are organisations.
However, who or what they are is meant to be kept closely guarded secret.
Despite this, a list of front-runners has emerged - including Syria's White Helmets, and the negotiators of the Iran nuclear deal.
A number of less obvious suggestions to win the prize have also been rumoured, including Donald Trump for his "vigorous peace through strength ideology".
Syria's White Helmets, volunteers who pull victims from bombed buildings in the war-torn country, appear to be the public's favourite choice. A petition backing them for the prize has more than 304,000 signatures.
But the committee is known for defying expectations.
Last year, the prize went to the Tunisian National Dialogue Quartet, a group lauded for helping their country's transition to democracy, instead of Angela Merkel - who was widely thought to be in the running for her work with refugees.
Around 500 tonnes of the molluscs are clogging parts of the Scandinavian coast, threatening native species.
In jest, Denmark's embassy in China turned to social media, inviting Chinese tourists to eat the shellfish.
Following a ravenous response from netizens, companies like internet giant Alibaba offered to help out.
This all started with the embassy's post in late April (in Chinese) on Twitter-like site Weibo about the oyster problem.
It explained how the Pacific oyster species was introduced from Asia about a decade ago but numbers have increased so rapidly they now surpass their local counterparts.
The post has received more than 15,000 responses to date, including offers to "eat them to extinction".
Some have even asked for free trips or an "eaters visa" to Denmark.
The embassy has continued to play along, declining free trips but saying they would forward the "creative ideas to relevant officials".
As the post became a national talking point, Alibaba - the dominant online marketplace in China - got in touch with Danish officials, later announcing they had "agreed on further collaboration".
Its online shopping unit Tmall said it was in talks with customs authorities in Hangzhou over ways to expedite the process of bringing the oysters - and other agricultural products - into China.
The embassy even held a live internet demonstration on Tmall showing different ways to eat an oyster. Instead of downing it raw with a drizzle of lemon or tabasco sauce, which is popular in the West, many Chinese foodies prefer them crushed then grilled with mashed garlic and chilli sauce.
Danish embassy officials told the BBC they had also received "serious requests" from other e-commerce firms wanting to take on the unwanted seafood.
But they stressed it was "important that the relevant food authorities in both countries agree on the import/export situation and then practical things can start from there".
It isn't just e-commerce firms whose appetites have been whetted. Chinese travel agencies are also pitching a "special gourmet tour" to Denmark.
"Let's help the Danes eliminate these oysters invaders!" wrote one Beijing tour operator, which is also offering a certificate after completing the trip.
Danish fisherman and tourism industries are already feeling "optimistic" about the impact of the viral news, according to embassy officials.
"Since these Pacific oysters took Chinese headlines for more than one week, many local seafood traders in Denmark have received business requests, as many as 10 on a daily basis.
"Danish travel agencies that offer tailored oyster tours to the Western coast of Denmark have also got back with an increase in their business, mostly from Chinese tourists."
It helps that 2017 had already been designated an official China-Denmark tourism year, with a roster of programmes in place.
Alibaba and Denmark also signed a memorandum of understanding in March to increase Danish exports and promote the Nordic country as a tourist destination.
Denmark's Prime Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen also happened to be in China on an official visit this week.
He met his Chinese counterpart Li Keqiang in Beijing on Wednesday and signed a range of trade deals, including one to export Danish pork and organic produce to China.
They also agreed on the loan of two Chinese pandas to a zoo in Copenhagen. There was no word on whether the molluscs crisis was mentioned though.
There is also the question of whether the online appetite will materialise on the ground, given China produces about 80% of the world's farmed oysters.

No-one was injured when paving slabs shattered in Archer Street at about 17:30 GMT.
Opera singer Burak Gulsen described his "great shock" when the explosion happened in front of him.
"First I thought it was an attack. Everyone was screaming and I saw the pavement flying," he said.
The Met said it is not being treated as a terror-related incident.
Mr Gulsen, 39, from Dalston, north London, said he was about 5m (16ft) away from the flying pavement slabs on the opposite side of the street.
"After it happened a police officer came along and told people to move away. It was a great shock," he said.
"After that everything was normal again. People were eating, laughing, talking."
Recommendations for a new site on council-owned land either in Cockett or Llansamlet were thrown out in 2013.
It followed campaigns in opposition to proposals for the particular areas.
Swansea council's scrutiny programme committee said the authority found it a "difficult and emotive, issue".
The report, which is going before a special meeting of councillors this week, added: "The process has drawn criticism from councillors and members of the public.
"The issue has caused a lot of tension and ill-feeling and has likely damaged the reputation of the authority."
The committee also found the authority followed through on the process agreed in 2010, but opinions about whether it was the best process were expressed.
The former greyhound racing track in Cockett and Peniel Green Road in Llansamlet were the sites put forward as the preferred options but now all options are open as the search has restarted.
The report also recommended Gypsy and traveller families should be involved at the earliest stage of any new process, rather than the end of short-listing of sites.
Llansamlet already hosts the city's only traveller site which is full and cannot be expanded.
Swansea council has a duty to find more space.
Officials in Chester intended to scrap one of two annual Winter Watch parades in the city because large crowds are expected for the truck on 3 December.
Council Leader Samantha Dixon wrote that she would be "sorry" to see a community event "cancelled to make way for a 'commercial' proposition".
The parade has now been rescheduled.
The diary clash came about as the result of a local business group organising the appearance of the Coca-Cola truck on the same day as the first Winter Watch parade.
CH1ChesterBID's chief executive Rita Waters said: "It's important we diversify our offer to make sure the city appeals to a broad range of visitors and that's why we've committed to other major events like the Coca-Cola truck."
The drinks company's vehicle is making 46 stops on its Christmas tour.
What's Winter Watch?
Dating back to the 15th Cenury, Winter Watch features local officials parading around Chester before handing the keys to the city over to the police - who were known as the City Watch - before merrily celebrating Christmas in the knowledge the city was in safe - and sober - hands
In an internal email released following a Freedom of Information request from a local resident, Cheshire West and Chester Council events coordinator David Atkinson wrote: "It has been deemed that the new event should take precedence over the Watch due to the number of people involved."
He added that there was not a suitable alternative date for the Watch.
As the cancellation announcement was made, Ms Dixon emailed a council official to say: "I want it made clear publicly that the decision to cancel this Winter Watch parade was made without the knowledge or agreement of the administration."
Opposition councillor Jill Houlbrook wrote: "As a long-time supporter and participant I'm really disappointed."
On 3 November it was agreed the first Watch event would be rescheduled for 17 December.
The authority's culture spokesman Louise Gittins said: "Given the potential scale of the Coca-Cola event - which is known to attract up to 10,000 people - it was decided that the Winter Watch Parade should be re-scheduled in the interests of public safety.
"The Winter Watch Parade on 10 December is unaffected."
Tracey Dyke was charged with 15 counts of burglary, three counts of fraud, one count of conspiracy to commit burglary and one count of theft by finding.
The 30-year-old, of no fixed abode, was due to appear at Wimbledon Magistrates' Court on Monday.

A 24-year-old man was said to have had money taken from him outside Esso on Aberdeen's North Anderson Drive, at the Haudagain roundabout, on Tuesday night.
George Hanratty, 32, of Aberdeen, appeared at the city's sheriff court.
He made no plea and was remanded in custody.
Redwan El-Ghaidouni, 38, was shot eight times through his car window in Uxbridge, west London, last year.
A 36-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to murder on Friday and released on bail until mid-June pending further inquiries.
It follows the arrest of a 41-year-old man, a 29-year-old man and a 34-year-old woman on Wednesday.
They were also held on suspicion of conspiracy to murder and bailed until June.
Father-of-three Mr El-Ghaidouni was shot after pulling into his driveway at about 19:00 GMT on 3 February 2015.
He was killed at the home he shared with his partner and three children on the junction of St Andrews Road and Vine Lane.
Police believe there were failed attempts to shoot Mr El-Ghaidouni on 31 January and 2 February 2015.
"As we've previously said, Redwan did have a criminal past and had been linked to drug importation," Det Ch Insp McHugh Noel said.
"He had been released from prison almost seven months before his death but he had been working full-time at a car dealership and enjoying being a family man again.
"We continue to look into his background for answers about what happened but whatever the circumstances, his murder has left three young sons without a father and his long-term partner devastated."
A £50,000 reward is being offered for information.
The man, from Peterstone, near Newport, was arrested by officers from Gwent Police's Operation Imperial team on Wednesday.

Det Supt Paul Griffiths also appealed to an anonymous caller who called police on 27 May to contact the team.
After no play in the morning session, the rain stopped and the sky brightened during the scheduled lunch interval.
Somerset, in particular, were hoping that play would follow, needing 10 wickets to win, with the home side facing a target of 318.
But following a post-lunch inspection, match umpires Ian Gould and Neil Mallender called it off.
The two sides, who remain unbeaten after four matches, are back in action again on Sunday.
Somerset host reigning champions Yorkshire at Taunton, while Warwickshire visit Trent Bridge to face Nottinghamshire.
Bears skipper Ian Bell is still hopeful of being fit, despite nursing a hamstring injury.
The pitch was reported by the umpires to ECB liaison officer Tony Pigott and this will now be considered by an ECB disciplinary commission.
Warwickshire director of cricket Dougie Brown:
"It was not the type of pitch we wanted. There was cracks but was it dangerous? No.
"We all know here that Gary Barwell is the best groundsman in the country by a mile. He was preparing this pitch 14 to 16 days ahead, as always, and when he started, it was in snow and ice.
"Then the weather flipped on its head and suddenly it was very hot, so the drying process was accelerated by the weather.
"When the cricket liaison officer said the pitch had been reported we were incredibly surprised."
Labour had a disastrous night, taking 24 seats - down from 37.
The Conservatives won 31 seats to make them the second largest party behind the SNP on 63, with the Scottish Greens on six and the Lib Dems on five.
Ms Dugdale failed to win the Edinburgh Eastern seat but was elected on the regional list.
She said this election was "always going to be tough" for Labour after they won just a single seat at last year's general election.
She insisted she would remain as leader, and added that she was "proud that our campaign rose to the challenge of offering an alternative vision of what could be done in our new, more powerful parliament".
Ms Dugdale said her "determination to try to move the Scottish debate on" from the arguments of the 2014 independence referendum had cost Labour votes.
For Scottish Labour, arguments over their manifesto or personalities are to miss the point. This election was clearly about the constitution.
Scottish politics are still totally dominated by the independence question which was certainly not settled on 18 September 2014 and still seems to take precedence in voters' minds over any other issue.
And it's an issue on which Labour cannot win.
So where does that leave Labour?
If the SNP are the party of independence and the Tories the party of the union, what is the point of the Labour Party?
They will continue to argue that they care most about social justice and poverty. But as long as voters remain split over the constitution that may not win back many voters.

During the Holyrood election campaign she backed income tax rises for basic rate taxpayers as well as the wealthiest Scots, saying this was needed to prevent cuts in public services such as schools and the NHS.
Ms Dugdale said: "There's no doubt that our defeat for the Labour Party is painful but it is not the end of our campaign.
"We will continue to argue for Labour values, Labour ideas and Labour principles.
"The work to renew the Scottish Labour Party so it is fit to serve the people of Scotland continues."
Ms Dugdale admitted the Scottish Labour party was "a long way away" from being electable again.
In an interview with BBC Radio Scotland's Newsdrive show, she said: "That is certainly my mission. I want to lead a Labour party that is fit to serve the people of Scotland.
"It's clear that we've got a long way to go to do that. But I do, firmly and passionately, believe that the values of my party - of fairness, of equality - are the right ones for Scotland.
"If we focus on that, if we continue to make a positive story about how we can use the powers of our parliament to make different choices, I do believe that the Labour party has a bright future.
"It has a very proud past, very proud achievements like the Scottish Parliament, and I believe a bright future."
Addressing party supporters in Sheffield, UK Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said there was a ''lot of building to do''.
Mr Corbyn said: "We are going to be with you, we're going to walk hand-in-hand with the party in Scotland to build that support once again, so the Labour tradition in Scotland will be re-established once again.
"I am sure I can send a message on behalf of everybody here, to our colleagues in Scotland - we are with you".
Meanwhile, Labour's only MP in Scotland, Ian Murray, told BBC Radio Four that voters did not see Labour under Jeremy Corbyn as a "credible party of future government".
The shadow Scottish secretary said: "That's something, after this week's results, we should reflect on, the leadership of the party should reflect on - and find a way of finding a strategy and a narrative that changes the perception of the UK Labour Party across the United Kingdom so that we can go on and have a real shot at winning in 2020."
The LÉ Eithne was sent by the Irish government to join the humanitarian rescue operation earlier this month.
Ireland's defence minister Simon Coveney said the migrants were on a wooden barge trying to make its way across the Mediterranean sea, and were taken on board early on Friday.
It comes a day after the crew worked together with Italian, German and British ships to help rescue 201 migrants from five makeshift inflatable boats.
"This is a tragic situation of people who are willing to put themselves at very significant risk," Mr Coveney told BBC Radio Foyle.
"Some of them are victims of people-traffickers who are literally jamming them on to boats, charging them a lot of money, and then sending them to sea on vessels that are not fit to cross a river, never mind the Mediterranean."
Mr Coveney said the Irish government would continue to assist the Italian navy's search and rescue efforts at least until the end of September.
"All the evidence suggests the most migrant activity for people trying to cross the Mediterranean is in the summer months when the weather is a bit better and people think they can get across," he said.
"It's a sign of the desperation of people in parts of north Africa that are willing to put themselves and their families in that kind of danger.
"Ultimately what the European Union needs to find a way of doing collectively is creating stability and conditions so that these people can be looked after in their own countries."
Jennings scored the only goal on 13 minutes with a header from an acute angle following a corner.
The hosts tried to force the issue in the second half but fashioned little, Rob Sinclair missing an opportunity to stretch Forest Green's lead late on.
Rovers stay two points behind Cheltenham, while Gateshead drop to ninth, three points off the play-offs.
Forest Green assistant manager Jamie Day told BBC Radio Gloucestershire:

"We played really well for the first 25 to 30 minutes and showed what a good side we are. We could have been two or three up. That's probably the only criticism.
"After that, the boys had to dig in a little bit but they were first class. You come to places like this and the home team is going to get back into the game.
"But they defended incredibly well, so credit to them. We had a good shape, the back four was very solid and the boys dealt with what they had to." | French prosecutors have said they believe "with certainty" that a wing part found on Reunion Island in July came from missing flight MH370.

The chancellor said the Royal Mail shares money - valued at £1.5bn - would be used to pay down the national debt.
The £3bn in cuts come ahead of further reductions to be announced in July.
The NHS, schools and overseas aid are protected from cuts - but other departments such as the Home Office and MoD will have to find savings.
Labour accused Mr Osborne of "ripping up" his long term economic plan by springing the announcement on MPs.
The SNP said the move "poses real danger to the postal service and, in particular, the universal service obligation which is of huge importance to Scotland".
The government is committed to clearing the deficit by 2018/19 without increasing income tax or VAT, something Mr Osborne said would not be "easy".
He needs to find a further £30bn of savings over the next three years, including £12bn to come out of welfare spending and £13bn from cuts to government departments.
Former Labour leader Ed Miliband made his first Commons speech since losing the general election in the debate on the Queen's Speech, urging the chancellor to ensure David Cameron followed through "on his one nation rhetoric".
Mr Miliband promised to hold Mr Cameron's government to account from the backbenches and said the Labour Party needed to do some "hard and painful thinking" about why it lost the election.
The government holds a 30% stake in the Royal Mail, with the remaining 70% held by a combination of employees and private investors.
Shares in Royal Mail were initially floated at 330p per share, and were trading at 526p at market close on Wednesday but fell 2.5% on Mr Osborne's announcement.
Labour came up with the idea of selling off part of the Royal Mail, which is a separate company to the still publicly-owned Post Office, in 2008.
But the plan proved hugely controversial, with the trade unions threatening strike action and it was ditched in 2009, with then Business Secretary Lord Mandelson blaming weak market conditions.
Lib Dem Business Secretary Vince Cable resurrected the idea when the coalition government came to power.
But he was accused by the National Audit Office of selling it off far too cheaply, losing taxpayers millions. Shares climbed 70% higher than their original 2013 sale price.
Mr Cable refused to apologise, and said that the sale had raised £2bn for the taxpayer, with a further £1.5bn from the 30% stake in Royal Mail which it had retained.
Mr Osborne told MPs: "I am today announcing that the Government will begin selling the remaining 30% shareholding we have in the Royal Mail.
"It is the right thing to do for the Royal Mail, the businesses and families who depend on it - and crucially for the taxpayer.
"Further savings in departments this year - and selling our stake in the Royal Mail.
"Getting on with what we promised. Reducing the deficit - that is how you deliver lasting economic security for working people.
"For as everyone knows, when it comes to living within your means, the sooner you start the smoother the ride."
Business secretary Sajid Javid said the Royal Mail sell-off would happen "in the lifetime of this parliament" but that the government would listen to specially-appointed independent advisers about exactly how and when.
"We have plenty of time to work on this. I don't think it's the kind of thing we want to rush into in anyway."
He said his "overriding concern" was to "get the best possible deal for taxpayers".
Mr Osborne said £3bn in efficiency savings had been achieved by belt-tightening in non-protected government departments and asset sales, including publicly-owned land around King's Cross station in London.
The savings were made in the Home Office, DWP and Defra and business department including the higher and further education budgets.
The Ministry of Defence will have to find £500m of savings this year, about 1.5% of its total budget.
The MOD says that it will come from "efficiency savings" and will not impact operations or manpower. An MOD source says the cut "could have been worse" and is "manageable" but the BBC understands it might have an impact on the department's equipment plans.
Mr Osborne will set out full details of future spending cuts in a Budget statement on 8 July.
The director of the Institute for Fiscal Studies, Paul Johnson, said the £3bn worth of cuts in the current financial year was a "useful down payment" but "big difficult decisions" were still required.
"£3bn will be tough to find in a single year but it's relatively small compared with the very tough target the Chancellor has set himself," he said.
The IFS has said public spending cuts of 1% a year in 2016-17 and 2017-18 will be more difficult to achieve than was suggested in the Conservative Party's general election manifesto.
In a statement, the think tank said: "The cuts that the government announces later this year in next month's Budget and the following Spending Review may turn out to be deliverable.
"But they certainly will not feel like just 1% being taken out of each area of spending, nor will it require merely "£13 billion from departmental savings" as the Conservative manifesto described.
"While not inaccurate, these numbers give a misleading impression of what departmental spending in many areas will look like if the manifesto commitment to eliminate the deficit by 2018-19, largely through spending cuts, while not cutting spending in many areas, is to be met."
TUC General Secretary Frances O'Grady said: "The chancellor's plan for fast and extreme cuts will hold back growth, and it will slash the tax credits and vital services that workers and their families rely on."
Here is a full list of the departmental cuts announced by Mr Osborne: | The government's remaining 30% stake in the Royal Mail is to be sold and £3bn cut from government spending this year, George Osborne has said. | 33,004,664 | 1,288 | 34 | false |
The site which closed in 1990 with the loss of 1,000 jobs has some protected buildings although their condition is said to be deteriorating.
The Heritage Lottery Fund which pledged the cash called it unique, a surviving example of an 18th Century ironworks.
Brymbo Heritage Group (BHG) hopes to create a heritage area for Wrexham's old industries including the ironworks.
It plans to use the grant to set up guided tours and gather oral histories or memories of former workers as well as digitise 3,000 old photos and other material to produce learning materials for local schools, colleges and universities.
Colin Davies, project leader and a former Brymbo worker, said: "It is so important that future generations learn about how the village and the local community was years ago and I'm thrilled that Brymbo Ironworks' story will now be recorded and shared, bringing generations together."
Three scheduled ancient monuments and a Grade II listed building remain on the site.
Brymbo's industrial roots go back to around 1761 when John "Iron Mad" Wilkinson and his younger brother took over the running of a furnace at Bersham, near Wrexham, from their father.
John Wilkinson went on to buy Brymbo Hall and built two blast furnaces nearby marking the beginning of what was to become Brymbo Steelworks.
Landowners Brymbo Developments Limited (BDL) took over the reclamation after the steelworks closed in 1990 with housing being built on some of the sprawling site.
The history group has spent the last 10 years trying to protect heritage at other parts of the site amid concern that some has started to deteriorate.
It hopes to eventually create a wider heritage area to celebrate Wrexham's industrial past and attract tourists.

England lost 1-0 to Germany in Dortmund on Wednesday, but some away supporters booed the German national anthem and sang chants referencing World War Two.
Tottenham player Dier said he did not hear the chants during the friendly defeat, but called for the home crowd at Wembley to act "in the right way".
"In general, the fans are fantastic with us wherever we go," said Dier.
"The support they give us is amazing, but we ask it is done in the right way."
Football Association chairman Greg Dyke has described the conduct of a section of England fans in Germany as "inappropriate, disrespectful and disappointing".
It is understood the FA is trying to gather footage of the behaviour. If found to be involved, supporters could be banned from attending games.
The England Supporters Travel Club has written to members warning anyone involved in anti-social, xenophobic or disrespectful behaviour in Germany will have their membership withdrawn.
Dier also referenced the Westminster attack in central London on Wednesday and said England's players will "do everything" to honour those who died.
There is set to be a minute's silence and a pre-match wreath-laying ceremony at Wembley, while the stadium's arch will be lit up in red and white and England will wear black armbands.
"Of course, with the dreadful stuff that's happened, we hope fans are respectful of that and we'll respect everything in the right way," added Dier, 23.
Fans can expect to see armed police as they make their way to the ground as part of the Metropolitan Police's increased security presence.
England go into Sunday's game unbeaten in qualifying and are top of Group F on 10 points.
But Dier, who played the first half of England's European Championship last-16 defeat by minnows Iceland in June, said the Three Lions, now managed by Gareth Southgate, will not take Lithuania lightly.
"It's a painful reminder and it's a good lesson," he said. "We can look back on that game and what we didn't do, and in games like the one on Sunday try to do what we didn't.
"It's going to be a tough game. In all internationals now there's no really easy games. Every team sets up to try to stop us, especially here at Wembley. It's key we play with intensity.
"We need to be aggressive with the ball, move it quickly, and hopefully create a lot of chances and make it exciting for the fans."
Dier, who has played in both midfield and defence for club and country, also admitted he harbours ambitions of one day captaining England.
"It's an ambition of mine. I'd love to one day be able to do that," said the former Sporting Lisbon player.
"That's something the manager decides and I'm sure he'll pick who he thinks is best.
"I've always had qualities that a captain may have and I think I can do that job."

The foreign exchange broker said in a statement that the move had created "exceptional volatility and extreme lack of liquidity".
As a result, the majority of Alpari clients had "sustained losses".
The euro rose 1.2% on Friday to buy 0.9869 Swiss francs.
Thursday's euro-franc close was 0.9755, well above its lowest point of 0.85 following the sudden removal of the cap.
"Where a client cannot cover this loss, it is passed on to us," it said. "This has forced Alpari (UK) Limited to confirm today that it has entered into insolvency."
The Financial Conduct Authority said it was "working closely" with the company.
West Ham said Alpari's collapse would not affect the club, which was in talks with potential new shirt sponsors for next year.
The SNB shocked markets on Thursday by reversing a three-year-old policy.
The bank had previously capped the value of the franc at 1.20 per euro.
At one point on Thursday, following the decision to abandon the cap, the franc soared more than 30% against the euro.
Derek Halpenny, a currency strategist at Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, described the currency move as "unprecedented".
The euro regained some ground on Friday, rising 2.5% to 1.01 francs.
Alpari, which signed a £3m, three-year deal with West Ham in 2013, is one of a number of companies to be affected by the volatility caused by the SNB's action.
Shares in US forex trading group FXCM were suspended shortly before trading began in New York on Friday after the stock plunged by 90% in pre-market dealing.
FXCM said on Thursday it might not be able to meet certain regulatory capital requirements due to "unprecedented volatility" after clients suffered losses of $225m.
The US market regulator, the National Futures Association, said it was in "constant contact" with FXCM.
"We've been watching the volatility in light of the activities that occurred early yesterday morning, so we are monitoring all of our firms," a NFA spokesperson said.
The Swiss National Bank's decision on Thursday to abandon attempts to fix the Swiss Franc against the euro resulted in the "Swissie" rising by 30%. It was probably the largest one-day movement by a major currency since the First World War.
The reasoning for the move were fears that the eurozone will soon start printing money. That is almost certain to cut the value of the euro and boost that of safe haven currencies, such as the franc. In short, the Swiss could no longer afford to hold the line.
The consequences are just beginning to be felt. Alpari, one foreign exchange broker, has gone bust, while another has lost £30m.
Yet it is the Swiss who have lost most, as the cost of their exports will now soar.
If you were thinking of treating yourself to a nice Swiss watch for the new year, you might want to check your bank balance first. It is likely to be 15% more expensive than it was on Wednesday.
New Zealand foreign exchange dealer Global Brokers NZ was also forced to close due to hefty losses incurred from the currency turmoil.
Following the closure, New Zealand's Financial Market Authority said it would "be seeking assurances that the client funds have been protected and segregated."
Other forex companies also suffered losses. IG Index said it would lose some £30m following the turmoil.
CMC Markets also recorded losses, but chief executive Peter Cruddas said the overall impact had not materially affected the group. "It's business as usual," he said.
Richard Barklie, from Carrickfergus, Northern Ireland, is one of four fans facing a football banning order over a racist confrontation filmed ahead of a Champions League game in February.
The footage showed several fans chanting: "We're racist and that's the way we like it."
Mr Barklie denies chanting.
The Metropolitan Police is applying for football banning orders to be imposed on four men the force believes were involved in the confrontation.
In addition to Mr Barklie, 50, of Victoria Street in Carrickfergus, Jordan Munday, 20, of Ellenborough Road, Sidcup, Kent; Josh Parsons, 20, of Woodhouse Place, Dorking, Surrey; and William Simpson, 26, of Hengrove Crescent in Ashford, Surrey, are challenging the ban.
The banning orders would prevent them from attending games at home or abroad.
Scotland Yard confirmed another Chelsea supporter, Dean Callis, 32, of Liverpool Road, Islington, had received a five-year banning order ahead of the court hearing for a number of incidents, including the one in Paris.
The prosecution said Mr Barklie "was present in the group, pushed the victim twice and joined in the chanting".
The alleged victim, a French commuter known only as Souleymane S, previously said the whole episode was "humiliating".
Mr Barklie's lawyer Nick Scott told the court his client had pushed him off the train because it was busy and there was not enough space.
He said: "There are three people in the way filling up the door. He's just pushed off - no violence or aggression."
The Thames Magistrates' Court hearing, sitting in Stratford, continues.
Five MPs from the current parliament who are running next month's London marathon got their kit on this morning for the benefit of the cameras at Westminster.
Wales Office Minister Alun Cairns is one of the five and still basking in his "fastest MP" title from last year.
"It's a great way to keep fit when you're walking door-to-door. It's obviously a great way to take your mind off the stress of an election but most importantly there are two great charities, Macmillan Cancer Support, supporting patients and families of people suffering from cancer and the PDSA, supporting sick and injured animals."
With parliament dissolving on Monday, the five won't be MPs when they toe the line on April 26, although ministers do stay in office until after the election so Mr Cairns and Children's Minister Edward Timpson will be flying the ministerial flag around the streets of London.
With an election to fight, the Vale of Glamorgan MP has also set himself a more modest target. "I did 3:34 last year. I'm not sure I'll be able to do it this year, I'll be happy with sub 4 (hours)".
Sir John told the BBC the UK banking system was now stronger, while banks had cut their exposure to Greece.
He added that the possibility of Greece leaving the eurozone "could not be excluded".
"We have to prepare for the worst," he said.
On Tuesday, the Bank's Governor Mark Carney said the UK's direct exposure to Greece was minimal.
"This is not a new set of risks or a new threat to the UK - we have had issues around Greece since 2010," Sir John told Radio 5 live's Wake up to Money programme.
"People have taken action already to protect themselves against these risks - the banking system is stronger, banks have reduced their exposure to Greece and the eurozone economy and they are carrying much more protection in terms of capital.
"In the eurozone, we are not seeing the situation of 2011-12 - economic growth is stronger and the European Central Bank and governments have put in place instruments to protect the eurozone from contagion.
"Financial markets are not showing there is contagion or spreading of risks to the periphery... we are not seeing signs of pressure on Portugal, Spain and Ireland."
Greece is holding a referendum on Sunday, where Greeks will be asked to accept or reject proposals made by the country's creditors.
Eurozone finance ministers have ruled out any further talks on a fresh bailout for Greece until the results of the referendum are known.
The theft took place at about 14:15 BST at the Amber Shop and Museum in Market Place.
A Suffolk Police spokesman said the theft was carried out by a man and woman. No violence was used and it is believed they stole items from a display in the shop.
They then ran off down an alleyway., Anyone with any information is asked to call Suffolk Police.

Lawrence Shankland had a shot superbly blocked by Sons goalkeeper Mark Brown, then at the other end Frazer Wright's header was scooped off the line.
The second half was tight until David Clarkson squeezed a pass through to Shankland, who found the far corner.
Clarkson missed an achievable volley at the back post, but Alex Rae's men had done enough.

The number of women in the Singapore workforce has jumped by around 15% over the last decade, and salaries have risen by a comparable amount.
But Singapore also ranks as one of Asia's worst in terms of work-life balance, and the birth rate is falling.
As part of the BBC's 100 Women Series, the BBC's Asia Business Correspondent Karishma Vaswani reports.
David Phelan, a Kettering General Hospital Trust governor, said patients were removed from lists because national targets were being missed.
The governors were due to look at a resolution claiming his behaviour had breached its code of conduct.
But Mr Phelan decided to resign from his position as a governor.
The governors had stressed the decision to take action against him was not connected to his whistleblowing.
Kettering General Hospital's lead governor Stuart Lake said the governors had backed a resolution saying the Mr Phelan had committed a "serious breach of the trust's code of conduct" due to "hostile, abusive and disruptive behaviour".
He said Mr Phelan had decided to leave the meeting before presenting his case.
Mr Phelan said he believed the action of governors was connected to him whistleblowing.
"I believe the truth will out," he said.
In May, a BBC investigation found thousands of Kettering General Hospital patients had waited a year or more for operations.
The hospital admitted there had been "anomalies" and that a thorough review of data had been carried out.
A hospital review has found that 138 patients were harmed - including one who had substantial sight loss - as a result of the long waits.
Mr Phelan, who raised concerns under whistleblowing procedures, was working as associate general manager in the trauma and orthopaedics department when he discovered discrepancies in the referral to treatment time (RTT) data in October 2015.
He warned managers that the daily RTT report was understating the true position by half when checked against patient records.
He told the BBC he discovered managers at Kettering General Hospital had used six exclusion categories to remove patients from their official waiting list data.
The NHS regulator fines for breaches of waiting times are per patient.
A hospital spokesman said: "We suspended reporting of our waiting list data to the Department of Health in December 2015 when we became aware of some anomalies which suggested there could be some issues with our systems."
The hospital said it was confident the issue had been addressed.

19-year-old Duncan Parcells, spent two years building Titan City.
He says children need to take inspiration from things around them and also says having fun is important because you can't create a good build without enjoying playing the game.
They said the deaths were reported at a house in the Abbey Road area.
It is understood detectives are not looking for anyone in relation to the incident.
There are no more details at this stage.
The king's skeleton was found under a car park in Leicester during an archaeological dig.
The reconstructed face has a slightly arched nose and prominent chin, similar to features shown in portraits of Richard III painted after his death.
Historian and author John Ashdown-Hill said seeing it was "almost like being face to face with a real person".
The development comes after archaeologists from the University of Leicester confirmed the skeleton found last year was the 15th Century king's, with DNA from the bones having matched that of descendants of the monarch's family.
Richard was killed in the Battle of Bosworth in 1485, at the age of 32 and after just two years on the throne, having been challenged by the forces of Henry Tudor, the future Henry VII.
Interactive: Twisted bones reveal a king
Dr Ashdown-Hill, who wrote The Last Days of Richard III, said: "The most obvious features in portraits are the shape of the nose and the chin and both of those are visible in the facial reconstruction."
Richard III Society member Philippa Langley, originator of the search, said on a Channel 4 documentary earlier: "It doesn't look like the face of a tyrant. I'm sorry but it doesn't.
"He's very handsome. It's like you could just talk to him, have a conversation with him right now."
Layers of muscle and skin were added by computer to a scan of the skull and the result was made into a three-dimensional plastic model.
Dr Ashdown-Hill said: "I had said previously that when I stood by the grave in Leicester that I felt closer to Richard III than I had ever been, but when I saw the facial reconstruction I realised I had been close to a dead Richard III.
"It was just bones, just a body, whereas confronting a facial reconstruction, I felt almost in the presence of a living Richard III."
The reconstruction is particularly important because there are no surviving contemporary portraits of Richard III.
Dr Ashdown-Hill said: "All the surviving portraits of him - even the very later ones with humped backs and things which were obviously later additions - facially are quite similar [to each other] so it has always been assumed that they were based on a contemporary portrait painted in his lifetime or possibly several portraits painted in his lifetime."
The Richard III Society officially unveiled the reconstruction on Tuesday morning, at the Society of Antiquaries in London.
It is expected the reconstruction will be put on public display in future.
Experts from the University of Leicester said DNA from the skeleton matches that of a descendant of Richard III's family.
Dr Ashdown-Hill said: "We weren't certain whether the body was Richard III so the facial reconstruction - particularly if it hadn't been possible to get DNA from the bones - might have been an additional piece of evidence, and still is."
Caroline Wilkinson, professor of craniofacial identification at the University of Dundee, said: "It was a great privilege to be able to analyse a skull thought to be Richard III.
"The facial reconstruction was produced on the assumption that the remains were unknown and portraits of Richard III were not used as reference.
"When the 3D digital bust was complete it was replicated in plastic using a rapid prototyping system and this was painted, prosthetic eyes added and dressed with a wig, hat and clothing."
Prof Wilkinson said the Dundee team artist, Janice Aitken, only used the portraits of Richard III at this stage as reference for hair style and colour, eye colour, skin colour and clothing.
The team estimated the end result was as accurate as possible.
"Our facial reconstruction methods have been blind tested many times using living subjects and we know that we can expect that approximately 70% of the facial surface should have less than 2mm of error," said Prof Wilkinson.
Mr Farage led a flotilla of fishing boats up the Thames to urge Parliament take back control of British waters.
But his Brexit armada was greeted by a rival Remain fleet carrying Mr Geldof.
The rock star yelled that the UKIP leader was "no fisherman's friend".
Mr Farage accused Mr Geldof of "mocking" impoverished fishermen.
The UKIP leader's flotilla, organised by Fishing for Leave, left the Kent port of Ramsgate early on Friday and reached Westminster during Prime Minister's Questions at 12:30 BST.
A handful of dinghies and other vessels bearing In flags sought to "intercept" the Leave flotilla as it passed under Tower Bridge, with the vessel carrying former pop star Mr Geldof playing the song "The In Crowd" over loud speakers.
There were reports of brief, light-hearted skirmishes, including the exchange of hose fire and a police launch got involved to keep them apart on the Thames outside Parliament while Prime Minister's Questions took place inside.
Addressing Mr Farage over a PA system as his boat, the Sarpedon, pulled alongside the boat carrying the UKIP leader, Mr Geldof called Mr Farage a "fraud".
"Here are the facts about fishing. One, Britain makes more money than any other country in Europe from fishing. Two, Britain has the second largest quota for fish in Europe after Denmark. Three, Britain has the third largest landings. Four, you are no fisherman's friend.
"You were on the European Parliament Fishing Committee and you attended one out of 43 meetings."
Mr Farage branded Mr Geldof counter protest "just disgusting... disgraceful" and said he wanted the UK to get back the rights to its own fish.
"We used to protest against the establishment, now the establishment protests against us," he said.
"What multi-millionaire Mr Geldof did was to show his absolute contempt for the men and women who have come here from right across the UK asking, demanding, to be listened to as their communities are destroyed by the commons fisheries policy.
"As a spectacle, I think it is pretty disgraceful. And then what he did was show the depth of his ignorance... We are only allowed to catch 20% by value of the fish that swim in what should be our territorial waters. He clearly does not understand that."
A group of 30 Leave boats set off before first light, stopping at Southend and Gravesend to pick up passengers before mooring at the Pool of London at 11:00 BST, having passed underneath Tower Bridge.
Police vessels and the harbour master were in attendance as the rival vessels circled on the river outside the Houses of Parliament, where the final PMQs before the referendum was taking place.
The Port of London Authority said it had spoken to both sides about "excessive noise" and the risk of disturbance to other river users but that the episode had passed off without any safety issues.
Mr Farage rejected claims it was a publicity stunt, saying it was a "full-throttled protest" against what he claimed was the "destruction" of the UK's fishing industry by EU membership.
"There are now many harbours without a single commercial vessel...Compare and contrast all of this with Norway who control all fishing stocks up to two hundred miles within the North Sea and has a booming commercial and angling tourism industry."
But Greenpeace said the problem lay not with the EU but the concentration of UK fishing quotas in the hands of a few large operators - some of which it said were part of the flotilla - and successive governments failure to address this.
"The root of the problem lies in London, not Brussels," said the campaign group's director John Sauven. "The distribution of fishing rights within the UK's fleet is entirely the responsibility of the UK's fisheries minister."
"Brexit cheerleaders like Nigel Farage are cynically exploiting the legitimate anger of many British fishermen for political gain."
This view was echoed by Labour, which said being in the EU was good for British fishermen as it gave them access to Europe's fishing waters and their boats were able to land and sell their catch in any EU country.
"To protect fish stocks and the livelihoods that depend upon them, we need a European-wide collective approach," said shadow environment secretary Kerry McCarthy, calling for reform of rather than exit from the Common Fisheries Policy.
"We cannot risk a return to the bad old days where fish stocks were declining so fast that there were species on the verge of extinction."
Pressed on the matter at prime minister's questions, David Cameron said British fishermen could not hope to get a better deal outside the EU than they do now.
The Sunday Times reported that he has been asked by the International Cycling Union (UCI) to explain suspect blood values.
Team Sky said the 28-year-old Briton has withdrawn from racing "whilst his response to the UCI is prepared".
Tiernan-Locke pulled out of the Road World Championships on Thursday.
The 2012 Tour of Britain winner, who joined Team Sky in October last year, cited a lack of form as the reason for his withdrawal after the decision was announced.
The Sunday Times article stated that the suspect blood values dated back to September 2012.
"We have no doubts over his performance, behaviour or tests at Team Sky and understand any anomaly is in readings taken before he joined the team," Team Sky added in its statement.
A cyclist's biological passport is an electronic record in which the results of all doping tests over a period of time are collated.
It contains the results of an individual's urine and blood tests.
New UCI president Brian Cookson told BBC Radio 5 live's Sportsweek: "It's important that it [the inquiry] is handled properly and with integrity under the processes that are laid down. I certainly won't be interfering in it.
An individual, electronic record for each rider, in which results of all doping tests are collated. Passport for each rider contains:

"I am concerned that it's leaked out because I don't think this information should be in the public domain while someone is being questioned. That's not the same at all as them being guilty and let's see what happens."
Tiernan-Locke raced for Endura Racing in the 2012 season, claiming overall wins in the Tour Mediterraneen, Tour du Haut Var and Tour Alsace.
In September last year he became the first British rider since 1993 to win the Tour of Britain.
He is believed to now have three weeks to reply, with Team Sky urging that he be allowed to do so "in private and without prejudice".
A British Cycling spokesman added: "It is not our policy to discuss individual cases until they are concluded and all appeals heard. Until then, information is considered personal and confidential and its release is absolutely at the discretion of the athlete.
"We remain committed to respecting what should be a confidential process which allows the anti-doping authorities to do their job in the right way and an individual the chance to explain privately and without prejudice."
Vankadarath Saritha, 30, received messages of support from passengers on her first day in the job - but also had to deal with malfunctioning doors.
Her appointment comes at a time of growing public anger about harassment of women on public transport in Delhi.
Officials hope the move will inspire other women to drive as a career.
Some Indian states have had women bus drivers for years, but this is the first time the capital has hired a woman to drive a Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) bus.
Ms Saritha, who has worked as a private chauffeur, took the wheel of bus number 543 accompanied by much public interest, reports BBC Hindi's Indu Pandey.
Passengers seemed happy to see a woman bus driver - many came forward to take a good look at her, while others started taking her photos on their mobile phone cameras, our correspondent says.
Before getting down, some of the passengers called out: "Thank you, madam."
But day one was not without its hitches.
Shortly after Ms Saritha set out, the doors developed a snag and would not shut or open properly. Two technicians then responded to her call to fix the problem and the bus resumed its journey soon after.
Ms Saritha, who is from the southern state of Telangana, said she took up driving to support her family.
"We are five sisters. I first learnt to drive an auto rickshaw and then drove a van for a college, before driving a bus."
Now, she says, she intends to help her family with her salary and buy gold ear-rings for herself.
"Having a woman driver will help improve the image of our service," DTC official RS Minhas said. "We had received seven to eight applications and we hired Saritha. Now we will advertise again and hire more women drivers."
Transport services in Delhi have been deemed unsafe in recent years after a 23-year-old student was fatally gang-raped on a bus in Delhi in December 2012.
And a driver from the web-based taxi firm Uber is on trial for raping a female passenger last December. He has pleaded not guilty.
Women-only carriages are provided on trains and metro services in Delhi in an attempt to improve safety and comfort for passengers.
The 18-year-old from the Govan area has been catapulted into the upper echelons of the fashion world.
Almost since the moment he was discovered he has been in constant demand from fashion magazines such as GQ and Vogue and clothing brands such as Dsquared and Stone Island.
Connor has been in the studio with a roll call of the top photographers working in the industry today, constantly shuttling between Paris, Milan, New York and London.
According to those in the know, his "ugly-beautiful" face can look hard or angelic and its angular features are endlessly fascinating for photographers looking to create something special.
"I just see myself as a normal guy," Connor tells the documentary Scotland's Model Teenager, part of BBC One's Our Lives series.
"People see things I have never seen in my face."
The story of how an unassuming lad from Govan became a top model began when he was spotted by casting agent Claire Catterson.
She was looking for new young talent for a Scottish government-funded public service film on the dangers of knife crime.
Claire had been visiting Connor's school but hadn't found what she was looking for.
She says: "I was on my way out of the door, saying goodbye to the head teacher, when the school bell rang.
"My boy came down the stairs just as I was about to leave and I quickly asked the head teacher 'can you stop that boy?'"
Ms Catterson cast Connor in the Knife Crime Scotland film but she also sent his picture to Michael O'Brien at Model Team Glasgow.
She says: "Within seconds of pressing send on the email my phone rang and Michael said 'Where is he? I want him in the office'."
O'Brien says as soon as he opened the email the hairs on his arm stood up.
"He just looked completely different to everybody," he says.
Connor was feeling worse for wear on a Saturday morning when he got his first call from O'Brien.
"I thought he was joking," says the teen model. "I was going to hang up the phone."
O'Brien wasted no time in signing him up and sent a taxi to collect straight away.
He says: "Before I'd even met him I sent the images down to some friends in London."
"Then the phone started ringing and, to be honest, it has never stopped."
Within days, O'Brien had to phone up Connor while he was doing a Maths test at school and tell him to make his excuses to his teacher because he had a GQ magazine photo-shoot in London.
Within weeks, he was shooting "editorial" for magazines in Paris, Milan, and Barcelona.
In the fashion word, editorials are a photo-shoot that often includes magazine front covers and several pages of differing fashion looks inside.
Connor was thrust into the big time immediately and admits it was a strange world to find himself in.
Before his big break, Connor was considering joining the Army like his older brother Andrew.
Their mother is a home-help and their father works in the Govan shipyards.
Connor's dad is concerned that modelling is not a career that will last.
He says: "It does not take much talent to become a model.
"If you've got the look and know how to stand for the camera then fair enough. I don't look upon it as a career.
"Maybe I should but I wouldn't like it to last five years and then he's dumped and suddenly he's packing shelves in Asda."
Connor's older sister Denise is amazed that someone from Govan can be a top model.
She says: "It does not really happen to people from round here."
Connor can hardly believe it himself.
He says he first realised the scale of it when he was walking around the Duomo Square in Milan and started to browse the magazine racks.
It is a strange feeling, he says, to look at stars such as Ben Stiller, Leonardo DiCaprio, Rihanna and Justin Bieber and then see your own face alongside them.
However, for some reason this young Scottish lad suddenly had model agents around the world vying for him.
International fashion designers Dean and Dan Caten, from the global brand Dsquared, chose Connor for their "classic collection".
Dan says: "It was because the collection is quite tailored and proper. By using a face like his, it is a contrast. "
According to Dean: "He's not the bad boy he looks like. He's the sweetest boy with a bad boy face."
The BBC documentary follows Connor to Madrid where he works with photographer Eugenio Recuenco.
The photographer says: "Because he has such an angular face, any small gesture he makes in front of the camera can give such completely different sensations.
"He can be someone sweet but equally he can be someone strong."
"With a simple small movement of his face and then add lighting into the mix. With him the sky is the limit."
Recuenco adds: "He plays a kind of character. He's more of an actor. You can make him play whoever you want him to play."
Acting is something Connor wants to get into and he has been taking lessons but for now he is continuing to ride the wave of modelling fame.
Michael O'Brien says: "He became a phenomenon. He's probably one of the most successful boys Scotland has ever produced."
But despite his phenomenal success Connor says he could never be "arrogant or stuck-up".
"Even if I wanted to be my mum would kick my arse," he says.
Scotland's model teenager is on BBC One on Monday 14 August at 19:30.
Mr Borthwick, who has been a councillor in the city since 1963, will become Dundee's Lord Provost.
Dundee SNP group leader John Alexander met a number of councillors this week in an attempt to find "common ground".
The SNP won 14 seats in Dundee in last week's council elections, one short of an overall majority.
Labour won nine seats, with the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats winning three and two seats respectively.
Mr Alexander said he will meet Dundee's two Liberal Democrat councillors and Labour counterpart Kevin Keenan to "ensure cross-party support" for the administration.
He said: "I'm delighted that our group and Councillor Borthwick have been able to formally agree to work together in the best interests of the city.
"It's important that our new administration continues to engage with all opposition members throughout our term.
"In that vein, I will be seeking to build consensus on an ongoing basis and I intend on setting up a regular meeting with the respective leaders to ensure that there is the opportunity for open, honest and frank discussion like never before."
Mr Borthwick said: "My aim throughout our discussions has been to do what is in the best interests of the city and its people.
"I'm pleased that my discussions with John Alexander have been positive and focussed on our shared ambitions for Dundee."

Robson-Kanu, 27, is currently without a team after leaving Championship side Reading at the end of the season.
But he said he received offers "from around the world" after scoring what was voted the goal of the tournament.
"He's now probably got a really big decision to make," said Gunter, who played with Robson-Kanu at Reading.
"The stage it was on and not just that, but the way he actually took the goal as well probably opened up another good few doors for him."
Hull manager Steve Bruce has said he wants to sign Robson-Kanu, but believes the Premier League newcomers will face competition for his signature.
Robson-Kanu's goal in the 3-1 quarter-final win over Belgium was only his fourth for Wales, who were beaten by Portugal in the semi-finals.
He was an injury doubt before the tournament so he started the campaign on the bench, but he came on as a substitute to score the winning goal in the opening group game against Slovakia.
He then started in the defeat by England, lost his place to Sam Vokes for the wins over Russia and Northern Ireland before returning to the starting line-up in spectacular fashion against Belgium.
Robson-Kanu scored five goals in 35 appearances for Reading last season and Gunter thinks his displays in France will have boosted his reputation.
"He probably would have been alright before the tournament, but obviously he then scored the winning goal in the first game which made his advert a little bit better.
"He's is sort of a cult hero back home in Wales. He doesn't score that many goals, but the work he puts in for the team is fantastic.
"And he was another big part of why we qualified and it's nice that again somebody who is probably under appreciated at certain times of his career could get that sort of publicity.
"To come away winning goal of the tournament is fantastic and I thought it was rightly so because it was a brilliant goal."
Fowler sank a four-foot birdie putt on the final hole at Bethpage Black, while Australia's Adam Scott was the big mover with a 65 to go seven under.
Scotland's Martin Laird is three shots off the pace after a 69, with Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy two under (71).
Olympic gold medallist Justin Rose of England is level par after a 70.
"It's nice to finally see some putts go in," Fowler said after a bogey-free round.
"With a few putts going in, it frees up the rest of your game. I've been swinging well for a long time, and I've been waiting for the putter to catch up."

A survey by Dogs Trust Bridgend found 52% of people in Cardiff said dog poo was their biggest bugbear in public places - above smoking and littering.
And 40% of those surveyed said they come across dog poo more than once a week, but 57% admitted being "too polite" to confront owners.
The Big Scoop campaign hopes to remind people they could be fined if they fail to clean up after their pet.
Alex Jackson, head of campaigns at Dogs Trust, said: "Dog poo is one of the biggest complaints received by local authorities every year.
"It's important that everyone is aware of how simple disposing of dog mess can be."
A spokesman from Cardiff council said dog fouling has "fallen significantly" since 2015, when a city-wide survey showed it was ranked as a third concern for residents after litter and fast food-related rubbish.
He said the council was changing the way it manages the streets by "bringing different service areas together to improve the cleanliness of all council land in neighbourhoods across the city".
"What is essential is that dog owners play their part and take responsibility for their animals by clearing up after them," the spokesman added.
"The same principle applies for those who litter our city; it isn't acceptable and will not be tolerated. We have to work together to ensure that Cardiff remains clean and tidy."
The announcement came with the release of results for 2015. The bank made a pre-tax loss for the year of 2.4bn Swiss francs ($2.4bn; £1.6bn), which was its first annual loss since 2008.
It said that included "substantial charges which are not reflective of our underlying business performance".
It has written off 3.8bn Swiss francs linked to its acquisition of Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette in 2000.
Credit Suisse said it planned to save 900m Swiss francs "from workforce strategy and the rightsizing of the bank's London presence".
The bank said that the job losses announced with the results were an acceleration of cuts that were already planned.
Its shares fell 10% in Zurich to their lowest level since 1992, because of a gloomy outlook for the current year.

Six Russians and one Estonian have been abducted from the Liberty 249, operator Bourbon - a French shipping company - confirmed.
Another nine crew members were safe and on their way to the Nigerian port of Onne, a spokeswoman said.
There has been a spate of pirate attacks on cargo ships off the West African coast in recent months.
Bourbon did not disclose the vessel's exact location at the time of the attack on Monday but said an emergency unit had been set up to help the missing sailors.
"The emergency unit has been set up to aim at their rapid liberation under the safest security conditions," the company said in a statement.
The firm has been targeted by pirates in Nigeria before.
In 2010, three French crewmen were kidnapped off a Bourbon-operated ship in an oilfield in the Niger delta, the heart of Africa's biggest oil and gas industry.
The hostages were later released.
The trade in stolen oil has fuelled violence and corruption in the Niger delta.
Although attacks in the region have declined since a 2009 amnesty for militants, piracy is on the rise in parts of West Africa.
In the first six months of this year, the International Maritime Bureau has recorded 17 pirate attacks in Nigerian waters this year - a significant increase on 2011.
Last week, a Greek tanker carrying 32,000 tonnes of petrol went missing with a crew of 24 on its way to the port of Abidjan in the Ivory Coast.
In August, pirates attacked a Greek tanker off the coast of Togo, stealing 3,000 tonnes of fuel.
The Federal Communications Commission said Google "deliberately impeded and delayed"
the investigation for months.
The online search leader did not respond to requests for information and documents, according to the agency.
The inquiry began in 2010 after Google said Street View cars had inadvertently logged unsecured Wi-Fi data.
Information gathered by passing Street View cars in more than 30 countries included passwords, emails and other data that was being transmitted wirelessly over unprotected routers, according to the FCC.
The FCC said it still had "significant factual questions" about the Street View project that have not yet been been answered.
The agency has subpoenaed a Google engineer who developed the software code that the company used to collect the data.
But the unnamed engineer invoked his Fifth Amendment rights against incriminating himself, so that he would not have to testify.
The California-based internet giant disputed the FCC findings.
"As the FCC notes in their report, we provided all the materials the regulators felt they needed to conclude their investigation and we were not found to have violated any laws," the company said in a prepared statement.
It will enable Seattle-based Alaska to expand into lucrative hubs such as San Francisco and Los Angeles.
The two boards "unanimously approved" the deal, which will see Alaska acquire Virgin America for $57 (£40) a share.
However, Virgin founder Sir Richard Branson said there was "sadly nothing [he] could do to stop" the deal.
It is the first US commercial airline merger since US Airways and American Airlines combined in 2013 to make the world's largest carrier.
Virgin America, which accounts for about 1.5% of US domestic flight capacity, was listed on the US stock market in 2014 as an offshoot of London-based Virgin Group.
In a company blog, Sir Richard said: "I would be lying if I didn't admit sadness that our wonderful airline is merging with another.
"Because I'm not American, the US Department of Transportation stipulated I take some of my shares in Virgin America as non-voting shares, reducing my influence over any takeover. So there was sadly nothing I could do to stop it."
He added that consolidation is a trend that "cannot be stopped", with the four largest airlines now controlling more than 80% of the US market.
Alaska and its partner regional airlines, which in total account for about 5% of US domestic flight capacity, serve more than 100 cities in the US, Canada, Costa Rica and Mexico.
If the deal gets approval from US government regulators and Virgin America shareholders, the companies expect to complete the transaction by 1 January 2017.
Brad Tilden, chairman and chief executive of Alaska Air Group, said: "With our expanded network and strong presence in California, we'll offer customers more attractive flight options for non-stop travel."
Virgin America shares surged 40% to $54.52 - just below the offer price - in early trading.
Alaska, which was reported to have beaten competition from rival airline Jet Blue for the company, fell 4.7% to $78.15.
In a one-year trial from October, performance for less urgent incidents will be assessed by clinical outcomes - the results of the treatment delivered.
The target of responding to 65% of very urgent calls within eight minutes will remain in place but be monitored.
Statistics released on Wednesday showed the service missed its target for responding to emergency calls in June.
An ambulance arrived on the scene within eight minutes for 61.4% of "red" emergency calls.
That is an improvement on the previous month and better than the same time last year.
The service has also announced that fewer calls will be classed as "red", which need an eight-minute response.
The Welsh Conservatives described the latest statistics as "another month of failed Labour-managed ambulance response times".
Welsh Conservative Shadow Minister for Health, Darren Millar, said: "Wales has amongst the worst response times in Britain and the most urgent target has now been missed for 20 consecutive months.
"It is Labour's mismanagement of our NHS that's led to this shameful failure in performance and only a change at the top will put that right."
Plaid Cymru described the trial as a "dangerous experiment" and said the service was "moving the goalposts instead of dealing with the issue".
Leader of the Welsh Liberal Democrats Kirsty Williams said targets should be about "patient outcome, not political convenience".
She added: "Of course, it is politically convenient for the Welsh Labour government to scrap targets that they've been incapable of meeting, especially with an election just around the corner."
The Welsh NHS Confederation described the changes as "innovative" and "patient-focused".
The new model will introduce three categories of calls - red, amber and green.
Deputy Health Minister Vaughan Gething said he was "confident" the changes will improve patient experience.
He said: "The demands placed on our emergency ambulance service are more complex than ever before and are growing year-on-year.
"It is clear if we are to meet these demands and ensure the best outcomes for patients, we need to transform the way in which we deliver emergency ambulance services."
Tracy Myhill, chief executive of the Welsh Ambulance Services NHS Trust, added: "Having a fast ambulance arrive at a patient's door does not necessarily translate to a better outcome.
"However, having the right type of vehicle arrive at a patient's door and timely transport to a treatment centre does."
Officials have urged people only to call an ambulance if they really need one in order to reduce pressure on the service.
Those with less serious conditions have been encouraged to use alternative transport such as taxis to take them to hospital in a pilot scheme.
In England, ambulance services have a more ambitious target of responding to 75% of Category A calls within eight minutes.
The target was met for England as a whole in 2013-14 for the most serious of those calls - Red 1 - but was just missed for less serious Red 2 calls.
A row broke out in December when a leaked document suggested changing the target for some Red 2 calls in England from eight to 19 minutes.
After Theresa May set out some of her Brexit plans, indyref2 became even "more likely"; indeed, when the first minister was asked by BBC Scotland whether a vote was "all but inevitable", she said that was "very likely the case".
And yet, the first minister has not yet fired the starting gun. As strongly as she has spoken on the matter, her language remains hypothetical.
Launching her "Scotland's Place in Europe" paper of Brexit proposals, Ms Sturgeon laid out three options.
Theresa May has scotched number one, comprehensively. And for all her talk of protecting the "precious union" of the UK, number two seems to be a diminishing prospect. So are we moving on to number three?
Here are seven issues Nicola Sturgeon will need to look at before she goes back to the polls.
Brexit is the driving force in politics across the UK right now; and it is the source of the division which might bring an independence referendum to pass.
In case you hadn't heard, the majority of Scottish voters backed Remain, while the UK as a whole backed Leave.
Beyond that, Nicola Sturgeon and Theresa May take completely different approaches when it comes to Brexit.
The first minister comes at the issue like a jigsaw puzzle; she looks for recognised pieces like EFTA, the customs union and free movement which can be slotted together in a logical fashion to look like the picture on the box - of Scotland in Europe. Her options paper roots out precedent for every element, every piece of the puzzle, drawing comparisons from the Faroe Islands to Svalbard.
The prime minister meanwhile sees Brexit more like a painting. It's a creative act, conjuring up something new and unique. Never mind the Norway model, she demands her own "bespoke" deal, like nothing Europe has ever seen before.
The trouble is, we don't really know what the painting is going to look like. We have half an idea what Mrs May is trying to sketch out, but there are 27 other countries frantically swabbing at the canvas too (OK, that metaphor has probably been tortured enough).
So an indyref before the Brexit negotiations are complete would end up being a choice between two hypotheticals; two uncertain futures.
Can Ms Sturgeon persuade voters that the uncertainty of life outside the UK would be preferable to the uncertainty of life outside the EU?
Can Nicola Sturgeon even call a referendum?
Getting a referendum bill through Holyrood would not be an issue. The SNP may be a minority government, but the votes of the Greens would get it over the line comfortably.
But could Westminster prove more of a stumbling block?
The power to call a referendum remains a reserved matter; the 2014 vote was held after an agreement between Alex Salmond and David Cameron. Would Theresa May go down a similar route?
It's fair to say the prime minister has one or two other things on her plate at the moment, but she has made the "preservation of our precious union" one of her bigger priorities - it was number three in a list of 12 in her Brexit plans speech.
Politically, it could be difficult for her to actually refuse permission - that would probably only boost anti-Westminster sentiment. And she will be aware that a Yes vote even in an unauthorised vote could potentially be fatally destabilising.
If Ms Sturgeon is going to fire the starting gun, when would she aim to do it?
This year seems to be off the table already; even with a consultation in the books, from a basic legislative standpoint it would be a struggle to have everything ready for a snap poll in 2017. There are also council elections to focus on this May.
The Scottish Greens have been agitating for a referendum halfway through the Brexit process, to settle the issue before Scotland is taken out of the EU along with the rest of the UK.
Former FM Alex Salmond, a man who knows a thing or two about calling referendums, has also suggested autumn 2018 as a suitable date.
However, other leading nationalists have been more cautious - Alex Neil, for once, has warned against being "stampeded" into a "premature and unnecessarily risky" referendum.
Exactly when Ms Sturgeon might take the plunge may well depend on how the Brexit process unfolds - again, a matter of some uncertainty.
In any case, as Campbell Gunn, a former adviser to both Mr Salmond and Ms Sturgeon, noted this week - the first minister is "a canny politician" who "won't be railroaded into a vote she isn't sure of winning".
What to do about Europe? Ms Sturgeon has said her ideal solution would be an independent Scotland being a member state of the EU.
How would this work? Many of the timetables mooted above aim specifically to win independence before Brexit is complete, in effect to try to keep Scotland in as the rest of the UK leaves.
But even on a very fast secession timetable, the UK would have left the EU long before Scotland made it out the door. So if Scotland was allowed to effectively 'inherit' the UK's place in the EU - a matter of some dispute in itself - the transition period would be extremely complicated.
In any case, over time the SNP's rhetoric has changed somewhat since the Brexit vote. Immediately after the referendum, the talk was of protecting Scotland's place in the EU. This softened to single market membership, and later to "access to" said market - but has now swung back a step.
In December, Mike Russell told the Scottish Affairs Committee that membership "is not possible" without being a full member of the EU. He said this was why there was "a range of other language", adding: "We've used 'involvement in' more than anything else".
However, the 'Scotland's Place in Europe' paper, published 13 days after Mr Russell's comments, is specific in seeking "single market membership".
Ms Sturgeon has been clear that the paper is a "compromise" position; so we can probably presume that removing the need to compromise would see her push for full EU membership. How popular that would be with the hundreds of thousands of SNP supporters who voted Leave remains to be seen.
The million-dollar question, on which all of this hinges. Could Ms Sturgeon win indyref2?
Polls showed a "Brexit bounce" in support for independence after the EU referendum - but it was short-lived, petering out by the end of June. More or less every poll since has shown backing largely unchanged from 2014.
In any case, can we trust what polls say? Pollsters have had a fairly torrid time in recent years, with the electorate seemingly a more and more unpredictable beast.
The SNP has been doing its own research, via a "national conversation", and is said to have gathered two million responses - although it remains unclear how many people actually filled it in, and or what they said.
As polarised as Scottish political debate has become since 2014, this is still a complicated picture. There's the Yes vs No divide, but also Remain vs Leave, on top of party loyalties.
A million people voted Leave, after all. Would many of them sign up to independence if it comes bundled with the EU membership they rejected last June? Equally, could Remain voters be persuaded back secession en masse?
Turnout could also be an issue. It was massive in 2014, at 84.59%, but has been on the slide in most ensuing votes - it was down to 55.6% for the Holyrood election last May, and is likely to shrink still further in this year's council poll. Could turnout hit such heights a second time around? If not, how would that affect the result?
One of the core issues of the last referendum was the economy; some would say it was where the Yes case fell down.
Alex Bell, a one-time advisor to Alex Salmond, has said the 2014 case for independence is now "dead", while the man himself has said the Yes side were "gazumped" on currency.
Need more? Nobel prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz, a member of both Mr Salmond and Ms Sturgeon's economic advisory teams, has conceded that the proposal to share the pound with the UK "may have been a mistake".
So there's appetite for change on the economic case within the Yes camp.
Ms Sturgeon has previously insisted that "the pound is Scotland's currency" - albeit before it plummeted post-EUref - but her deputy Angus Robertson and various other SNP figures have suggested looking at a "Scottish pound".
Equally, might the EU demand Scotland adopt the Euro as part of a route back into membership - and an implicit dig at Brexiteer Britain?
Elsewhere, the Common Weal think-tank has put together an entire White Paper project - very much a work in progress, but also including proposals for a new currency - proposals enthusiastically backed at the latest meeting of the Scottish Independence Convention.
Common Weal reckon setting up a new Scottish state would carry a one-off cost of £18.8bn, and say it would run a £8.8bn deficit in its first year of independence.
Now these are, by their own admission, "very rough" estimates. But they are the kind of costed proposals Ms Sturgeon has the likes of Andrew Wilson beavering away on, to build a new economic case for independence.
As an aside, does economics matter as much in the era of Brexit? After all, questions of sovereignty won out over dire economic warnings in the EU referendum. In any case, Ms Sturgeon will not pull the trigger on indyref2 without firm economic plans in hand.
Much of the Holyrood debate around independence over Brexit has been characterised by opposition parties, chiefly Labour and the Tories, pointing out that Scotland does a lot more direct trade with the UK than it does with the EU.
Now, obviously the UK market wouldn't simply disappear if Scotland were independent - in the same way that the European market isn't going to be sealed off to a post-Brexit Britain. However, relationships would undoubtedly change.
The scale of that change would be the subject of intense debate in an indyref2 campaign, with the opposing sides doubtless coming up with radically different yet equally improvable estimates.
The attitude of businesses would play a key role in the campaign; would they want to stay in Scotland and the EU, or head to Theresa May's "global Britain"? Again, how the Brexit process pans out might be instructive on that front.
And what of borders? Ms Sturgeon's Brexit plan includes Scotland staying part of the UK and Ireland's common travel area, so it seems likely she would seek a similar deal even as an independent state.
This was a simpler matter in 2014, before EU membership was bundled into the mix, but Yessers could point to the pledge there will not be a hard border in Northern Ireland for precedent.
Depending on how Brexit pans out (as usual), Ireland may also provide an example of how a customs border would work between and independent Scotland and the UK - and indeed Ms Sturgeon has also already tried to set out proposals for avoiding this in her argument for Scots single market membership.
The prime minister's spokesman suggested changes to the 1% cap, in place since 2013, could come in the Budget in the autumn.
It comes as Labour attempts to amend the Queen's Speech to call for an end to the cap, although it is not expected to win the vote.
Earlier Jeremy Corbyn clashed with Theresa May over spending cuts in PMQs.
The Labour leader said the Grenfell Tower fire had exposed "the disastrous effects of austerity", citing a "disregard for working class communities" and "the terrible consequences of deregulation"
The PM said "calm determination" not "pointing fingers" was needed.
Pay rises for five million public sector workers have effectively been capped at 1% since 2013, before which there was a two-year freeze on pay for all but the lowest-paid workers.
The Conservatives went into the election pledging to maintain the cap until 2020, but some MPs are now calling for a rethink after the party lost its majority.
Labour says its amendment to the Queen's Speech, which is now being debated in the Commons, is a "test case" of MPs' willingness to oppose further austerity measures.
It comes after hints by ministers that the cap could be reconsidered in the Budget after the Tories lost their majority at the general election.
Taking questions at an event in London, Defence Secretary Sir Michael Fallon said pay rates were "obviously something we have to consider not just for the army but right across the public sector as a whole".
A Number 10 source said public sector pay restraint was "one of the tough decisions" the government had had to make but that ministers were going to "listen to the messages that were sent at the election" and said, "we understand that people are weary after years of hard work to re-build the economy".
TUC general secretary Frances O'Grady said: "If the cap is lifted, it will be a massive victory for trade union campaigning."
Labour's amendment to the Queen's Speech is also calling for cuts to the police and emergency services to end.
The Conservatives are expected to win the vote with Democratic Unionist support.
Labour's amendment praises the response of the emergency services to the deadly fire in the west London tower block, which killed at least 79 people, as well as to the terror attacks in London and Manchester.
But it calls on the government to recruit more police officers and firefighters and to give the emergency services and other public sector workers a "fair pay rise".
Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, former Conservative minister Sir Oliver Letwin dismissed Labour's amendment as "playing politics".
But he said "carefully judged" tax increases might be needed to raise money, identifying adult social care as a priority.
"It may well be that, in one way or another, a large number of people will have to pay a little more tax if we are going to maintain the trend towards reduced deficits and yet spend a bit more on the crucial public services that do need more spending," he added.
Meanwhile, the latest British Social Attitudes Survey has found an increase in the number of Britons who think the government should raise taxes and increase spending to its highest level since 2004.
Speaking ahead of the Queen's Speech debate, Mr Corbyn rejected suggestions he was trying to make political capital out of the Grenfell fire, pointing out that the party had called for higher pay and an end to cuts before the disaster.
"I would have thought the Grenfell fire has concentrated the minds of a lot of people on the wonderful work done by the police, fire and ambulance services," he said.
Mr Corbyn focused all of his questions on the Grenfell Tower disaster, as Mrs May confirmed cladding from 120 high-rise buildings in 37 local authority areas in England had now failed fire safety tests.
To an angry reaction from some on the Conservative benches, the Labour leader said this was because cuts to local authority budgets had led to fewer building control and planning inspectors.
"We all pay a price," he said, saying there were fewer firefighters in place and that the pay cap had affected recruitment.
"What the Grenfell Tower tragedy has exposed is the disastrous effect of austerity.
"This disregard for working class communities, the terrible consequences of deregulation and cutting corners - I urge the prime minister to come up with the resources needed to test and remove cladding, retrofit sprinklers, properly fund the fire service and the police so that all our communities can feel safe in their own homes."
Mrs May said the cladding of tower blocks had began under Tony Blair's Labour government, saying this was an issue that had "developed over decades" under successive governments and different councils.
Labour, which focused much of its election campaign on the fall in police numbers since 2010, says it would hire 10,000 new police officers and 3,000 firefighters.
It has claimed fire and rescue budgets were cut by 30% between 2010 and 2015, and a further 20% cuts are envisaged between 2015 and 2020.
A Conservative spokesman said the country was "indebted" to the heroism of the police and emergency services, but Labour's proposed tax rises and higher borrowing would threaten investment in them.
MPs will be asked to approve the Queen's Speech, the government's legislative programme for the next two years, in the House of Commons on Thursday.
This will effectively amount to a vote of confidence in Mrs May's minority government.
The Conservatives' deal with the Democratic Unionists - which will see the Northern Ireland party's 10 MPs line up behind the government in key votes - gives them a working majority of 13 and means they are in little danger of losing.

It will examine what procedures and safeguards Police Scotland uses in relation to the practice.
The review was ordered by the Scottish government last year. It came after the UK government refused to extend a similar review in England and Wales.
The reviews follow numerous allegations across the UK that undercover police have abused their positions.
Justice Secretary Michael Matheson directed Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary in Scotland to investigate the actions of undercover officers.
This strategic review will be led by HM Chief Inspector of Constabulary in Scotland Derek Penman.
He said: "To maintain public confidence in policing, the tactics employed in undercover operations must be lawful, proportionate and necessary.
"They must also be subject to appropriate governance and oversight and police officers engaged in this specialist area of policing must comply with the law as well as the associated codes of practice."
He added: "Our report will provide assurance on whether undercover police operations are operating effectively and efficiently within Scotland, as well as assessing the contribution they make to public safety.
"In terms of safeguards, we will balance the requirement for visibility and transparency of undercover policing in Scotland with the need to protect sensitive covert policing techniques and operational deployments."
The terms of the review call for it to:
Victims of police spying had called for a Scottish inquiry to be set up.
Holyrood's parties had been united in calling for an extension to the Pitchford Inquiry, which was set up in England and Wales to investigate allegations of misconduct by undercover officers.
There are allegations that undercover Metropolitan Police officers had fathered children and caused miscarriages of justice, with claims of this activity extending to Scotland.
Mark Kennedy, one of five officers known to have had relationships with women while undercover, is alleged to have infiltrated environmental groups ahead of the G8 summit at Gleneagles in 2005.
The two leaders spoke about the crisis by telephone, days after a US air strike against a Syrian airbase.
It comes after Boris Johnson told G7 leaders in Italy that further sanctions would be considered against Russia.
Foreign leaders there are trying to agree a co-ordinated response to Syria.
The meeting has been taking place ahead of a visit to Moscow by US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.
Mr Trump ordered a series of missile strikes against a Syrian airbase on Friday in response to the deaths of more than 80 people, including children, during a chemical attack in the rebel-held town of Khan Sheikhoun on 4 April.
Mrs May said she agreed during a phone call that it was no longer in Russia's strategic interest to support President Assad.
A Downing Street spokesman said Mr Trump thanked Mrs May, who is on a short walking holiday in Wales, for her support in the wake of the US air strike.
He added: "They agreed that US Secretary of State (Rex) Tillerson's visit to Moscow this week provides an opportunity to make progress towards a solution which will deliver a lasting political settlement.
"They also discussed the broader Middle East, including the threat posed by Iran throughout the region.
"The prime minister and president also stressed the importance of the international community, including China, putting pressure on North Korea to constrain the threat it poses."
German Chancellor Angela Merkel also agreed during a call with Mr Trump that President Assad should be held accountable, the White House said.
US officials say the airbase it targeted was used to launch a chemical weapons attack that killed dozens of civilians.
But Syria has denied using any chemical agents and Russia says the US has failed to provide evidence Syria has chemical weapons.
The US president's spokesman Sean Spicer said on Monday that further action would be considered in certain circumstances.
But Russia and Iran - Assad's two principal international backers - have warned that they would respond "with force" to any fresh attack on their ally.
Earlier, Mr Johnson said senior Russian military officers involved in co-ordinating Syrian military efforts could face international sanctions.
At a meeting of G7 foreign ministers in Lucca, Italy, Mr Johnson issued a fresh appeal to Russian President Vladimir Putin to abandon his backing for his Syrian ally.
He said Russian President Vladimir Putin was "toxifying the reputation of Russia by his continual association with a guy who has flagrantly poisoned his own people".
Mr Johnson also defended his decision to pull out of talks with his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov, saying it was important that Mr Tillerson had the "clearest possible mandate" when he went to Moscow to deliver the response of the G7.
Meanwhile, Mr Trump's son, Eric, said the US would not be "pushed around" by Mr Putin, the Daily Telegraph reports.
The president is not intimidated by Moscow's talk of war, his son said.
He insisted there was "no one harder" than his father if Russia chose to "cross us". | A community group has been awarded £97,000 to help preserve the heritage of Wrexham's former Brymbo steelworks.

The service saw a total increase in funding of £11.4m in the 2016-17 draft budget announced earlier this month.
Some of the funds will go towards additional clinical advisers and control room staff.
SAS chief executive Pauline Howie said ambulance crews were "busier than ever".
The draft budget announced by Finance Secretary John Swinney included an increase of 1.7% in funding for the ambulance service, equating to £3.6m.
The service will also receive £5m on a recurring basis to support its "Towards 2020" strategy, and £2.8m towards its baseline.
Ms Howie said the "Towards 2020" strategy was aimed at "ensuring that every patient receives the most appropriate care, whether at home or in the hospital".
Scottish government health secretary Shona Robison added: "We value the dedication of our ambulance workers extremely highly.
"They provide a first class service, often under challenging and physically demanding circumstances, and it is important we ensure they are equipped with the appropriate skills, training and clinical support to be able to deliver even more care in the community."
Meanwhile, Scottish Labour has criticised the amount of time taken to hand over patients from ambulances to accident and emergency departments at some Scottish hospitals.
The party said the average waiting time at the new Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow was 35 minutes, compared with a Scottish average of 21 minutes. In one week in September, it was more than 42 minutes.
The time for transfer from ambulance to A&E is not factored into government targets for waiting times.
Labour's public services spokesman Richard Simpson said that because the figures were taken as averages, some patients would be waiting "much longer".
He said: "The SNP government has managed to extend what used to be a winter A&E crisis all year round.
"These figures show another hidden waiting list, as some patients wait on average nearly three-quarters of an hour before they are handed over from ambulance to A&E.

The white-winged black tern has attracted more than 800 birdwatchers to Attenborough since it was first spotted on Thursday.
Experts said the bird could have been blown off its migration course as it would normally spend winter in the southern hemisphere.
Centre manager Tim Sexton said the bird's visit had been amazing.
Mr Sexton said: "It first appeared on Thursday but news didn't get to us until late so it was too dark to go out looking for it.
"An anxious night followed and at first light on Friday I arrived at the reserve and within minutes, had relocated the white-winged black tern.
"It's so rare in the UK because it breeds in the far east of Europe, Central Asia and East Africa.
"It over-winters in southern Africa, South Asia and as far away as Australia."
The tern normally breeds in marshes and areas of wet grassland, and it is thought this is why the bird has settled at Attenborough's network of ponds and lagoons.
The birds picks up food like insects and small fish from the surface of the water, rather than diving for fish like common terns.
Mr Sexton said: "Seeing the bird was a life tick, and on my own patch."
The arrival of the bird was the highlight of a weekend which also saw sightings of a rare marsh harrier, an osprey and a great white egret.
The crash happened on the southbound carriageway between junction 3a and Corley Services just before 11:15 GMT on Saturday, police said.
The man, in his 50s and from Birmingham, was declared dead at the scene.
PC Stephen Barr said police wanted to speak to anyone who saw the crash or the man's grey Mini Cooper "in the minutes leading up to the collision".
"I'd like to thank people for their patience while the road was closed and also the other emergency services for their help at the scene," he said.
The grainy nature of the footage, which subsequently went viral, suggests this was a spontaneous, off-the-cuff moment captured on a mobile phone - but Mr Abbott's relaxed demeanour and willingness to take on the "manly" challenge set by a group of younger men is likely to have left his image managers smiling.
Appearing down to earth and at ease with the voters they encounter seems to be regarded as the elixir of modern, (still) male-dominated politics in many countries. The process began in the television age and has now been sharpened by an internet age in which videos and photos are posted, shared and re-shared at warp speed.
Appearing out of touch, on the other hand, is regarded as political Kryptonite.
Mr Abbott is not the first Australian politician whose timed beer-drinking exploits have become part of his public image.
Former Labor Prime Minister Bob Hawke went so far as to describe his downing of two-and-a-half pints (1.4 litres) of ale in 11 seconds while a student at Oxford University as something that "was to endear me to some of my fellow Australians more than anything else I ever achieved".
For David Briggs, of Australian polling and research organisation Galaxy International, there is an upside to politicians like Tony Abbott being seen as a "normal bloke".
"It certainly beats being written off as an arrogant tosser," he says frankly.
But this effect is hard to read when examining opinion polls, Mr Briggs says, as perceptions of parliamentary leaders do not change dramatically in the short term.
However, polling evidence suggests that the revelation in 2007 that then Australian opposition leader Kevin Rudd had visited a strip club during a visit to the US actually worked in his favour.
"Some suggested this confirmed he suffered poor judgement and was not a suitable prime minister," says Mr Briggs. "However, our poll conducted at the time confirmed that to the overwhelming majority of Australian voters, this incident simply demonstrated that he was a normal bloke.
"This view was shared by both men and women... with his reputation as a normal bloke enhanced, he went on to win a federal election a few months later."
But then this can also work the other way. To the despair of their image-makers, some politicians' attempts to forge a bond with ordinary folk often come to grief.
Former UK opposition leader William Hague's claim to have drunk 14 pints of beer a day in his younger days was mocked at the time, as was then Prime Minister Tony Blair's apparent adoption of "estuary English" while appearing on a popular TV chat show.
More recently in the UK, footage of Labour leader Ed Miliband eating a bacon sandwich was seen as reinforcing his slightly geeky image, while Prime Minister David Cameron's attempts to avoid this pitfall by eating a hotdog with a knife and fork provoked further criticism of his alleged aloofness.
By contrast, UK Independence Party leader Nigel Farage's fondness for a pint of beer and a cigarette - a key part of this former stockbroker's image package - has become his trademark.
In the US, then Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's attempt in 2012 to reach out to the people of Detroit - the city at the heart of the US car industry - by telling an audience there that his wife owned a "couple of Cadillacs" hardly burnished his man-of-the people credentials.
But then neither did Barack Obama's attempt to reach out to regular voters by taking up ten-pin bowling during his first successful campaign to become president in 2008.
Still in the US, many political observers cite George W Bush as a good example of a politician successfully connecting with crucial undecided voters.
He won the 2000 and 2004 presidential polls partly because - the argument goes - he was better able to convince the average American that he was quite like them and would be more fun to have a night out with than the stiffer, more intellectual Al Gore and John Kerry.
This was despite Mr Bush's impeccable establishment credentials as the scion of an oil-wealthy Texas family, whose father had been head of the CIA before becoming vice-president and then president.
Indeed, the younger Bush once joked to a wealthy audience at a (pre-financial crisis) charity dinner: "This is an impressive crowd. The haves and the have-mores. Some people call you the elite. I call you my base."
A counterpoint can be found in the political scene in Israel, where for decades the "uniform" of Israeli male politicians was casual dress - usually the short-sleeved, open-necked shirt paired with shorts or casual trousers favoured by Israel's founding father and first Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion.
It is unclear whether this reflected the straight-talking informality of a new state founded in war, a practical response to the local climate - or an attempt by the politicians to sell themselves as leadership material by appearing ordinary yet dynamic.
In her novel Love and Betrayal, author Pamela Schieber refers to most Israeli politicians of the 1960s and 70s as looking "like they had just jumped off the kibbutz tractor".
But this trend has been largely abandoned in the following decades, with many Israeli politicians - including the most successful one of the modern era, Benjamin Netanyahu - now favouring the bankers' uniform of sharp suits and bright ties for public appearances.
For Nick Wood, chief executive of the public relations firm Media Intelligence Partners and a former adviser to UK Conservative leaders William Hague and Iain Duncan-Smith, authenticity is all.
"People don't expect their prime ministers to be just like them, they are not so naive as to believe that - and nor do they want that. What they want is empathy, a feeling for what life is like for ordinary people.
"As long as politicians are doing something that fits with who they are, is part of their persona, it works. Faked stunts just don't work."
The Belfast Trust confirmed that the office of Stormont's legal adviser John Larkin had been in touch with them.
The BBC revealed on Monday that elderly people were to temporarily lose laundry, shopping and cleaning help from 5 January.
However, hours later the trust said it was reversing that decision.
It emerged that letters were sent to carers of people with disabilities as well.
BBC Radio Ulster's Stephen Nolan show revealed details of the cuts.
Stephen Nolan told listeners on Tuesday: "Among the very serious players in Northern Ireland who were listening to the Nolan show yesterday was the attorney general for Northern Ireland, John Larkin.
"John Larkin contacted the Belfast trust yesterday. The Belfast Trust has confirmed that to us this morning."
On Monday evening, the trust said it had taken the decision to cut services "with great reluctance and it was based solely on our need to live within the resources available to us in the current financial year".
It added: "Since the announcement was made there has been many representations made to Belfast Trust from individuals, families and others, all concerned about our decision.
"As a result, we have decided not to proceed with these changes at this time.
"We regret any distress or anxiety we may have caused."
The decision not to proceed with the cuts has been welcomed by the families of the pensioners involved and a number of political representatives.
One elderly woman who spoke out about the cuts was Adeline Keenan, 89.
She told the Nolan Show: "I get my shopping done on Tuesday and Thursday for half an hour and my laundry on Wednesday for half an hour.
"I will miss the shopping. It is heavy coming up and down the hill and I am 90 on my next birthday."
The commissioner for older people, Claire Keatinge, said the cuts would have had "a devastating impact".
The men were sentenced to death by a military court and are the first to be hanged in relation to the attack.
Taliban militants stormed the Army Public School in the north-western city of Peshawar on 16 December 2014.
The hangings come just two weeks ahead of the anniversary of the attack, which shocked the nation.
The massacre prompted a crackdown on Islamist militants, the establishment of military courts to try terror suspects and the resumption of capital punishment after a six-year moratorium.
These executions are timed to coincide with the first anniversary of the Peshawar school massacre. The trials were held in a military court, and proceedings were shrouded in secrecy.
A recent military statement claimed the convicts were linked to the little-known Toheedwal Jihad group of the Pakistani Taliban. It said they had admitted to involvement in previous attacks on military targets, including the 2012 assault on the air force base in Peshawar. But it did not specify how they were linked to the Army Public School shootings of last December.
There is no way of knowing if they were provided adequate legal defence, or if they appealed against their convictions in the military court of appeals, which is allowed under the law.
After the school attack, the government decided to set up military courts to try civilians involved in terrorism. The move was opposed by human rights groups who argued it would lead to miscarriages of justice and summary executions.
Earlier this week, army chief Gen Raheel Sharif signed death warrants for the four militants who were named as Maulvi Abdus Salam, Hazrat Ali, Mujeebur Rehman and Sabeel.
Security officials said the four men were executed early on Wednesday at a jail in the north-western city of Kohat.
They were convicted in a military court of aiding and abetting the militants who carried out the attack, all of whom were killed in battle with security forces on the day.
During the assault, militants scaled the walls to get into the school and set off a bomb before moving from classroom to classroom shooting indiscriminately at both children and teachers.
The school was near a military complex in Peshawar and a number of its students were the children of military personnel.
"The rest should be caught too, no-one should be spared," Waheed Anjum, an 18-year-old survivor of the attack, told AFP news agency.
"The hangings won't bring back my son, but now other people's sons will be kept safer," said Tufail Ahmed Khan, who lost one son in the attack while another was wounded.
Peshawar, which is close to the Afghan border, has seen some of the worst of the militant violence to assail the country over the last decade.
The Pakistani authorities believe 27 militants were involved in the attack. Nine were killed during the siege and officials say 12 suspects were arrested.
In all, six men were sentenced to death in August after secret military trials. A seventh was given life in jail, while two of the condemned men are still to be hanged.
How many other suspects were caught, or remain in custody, is unclear.

On Monday 9,000 firefighters worked on steep ground and difficult conditions, officials said.
The biggest blaze, which has been named "Rocky" fire, has already burnt through more than 90 square miles of land.
Officials described its rate of growth as unprecedented because it tripled in size over the weekend.
At least 24 homes were destroyed as the blaze was made bigger by winds that fuelled the flames.
"I've never seen a fire act like this one," said Vicki Estrella who escaped a blaze.
"It's amazing the way that thing spread. There was smoke 300ft (91m) in the air."
Four years of drought in the western US have left the landscape very dry.
What California's done to try to stop drought
There has also been very humid weather, lightning strikes and strong winds.
This has given firefighters and water-dropping aircraft a huge challenge.
Although fire crews have had some success in tackling the blazes, there is no rain forecast, which will make it even harder to get the fires under control.
The episode was watched by 47.5% of all television viewers with a peak audience of 11.2 million at 20:50 BST.
That means it beat the most-watched moments of the Rio Olympics, which peaked at 11.1 million viewers.
Judge Paul Hollywood said the show was going "back to basics" this year, with critics praising its winning recipe.
Twelve new bakers were seen entering the Bake Off tent on Wednesday, tackling drizzle cakes, Jaffa cakes and a genoise sponge.
Jane Beedle was named the first star baker of the series while church minister Lee Banfield - the oldest contestant at 67 - was the first to leave after Hollywood said one of his cakes was too dry.
Banfield said: "I've always enjoyed baking and at church I do regular baking demonstrations. I won't show the congregation how to make a Jaffa cake, I am not going to repeat that experience - I'll buy them a pack instead."
Beedle, 61, seemed shocked to be first to receive the star baker accolade, after impressing with a lemon and poppy seed drizzle cake and a chocolate and orange cake in the final round.
Michael Hogan, in the Telegraph, noted the series had arrived "in the nick of time to haul the nation out of its post-Olympic slump".
He said: "The judges slipped straight back into their good cop/bad cop routine, while presenters Mel and Sue pepped up proceedings with double entendres and downright silliness.
"Bake Off's format is a well-oiled (well-buttered?) machine and it would be foolish to change a winning recipe."
Jan Moir, in the Daily Mail, said it had been a "triumphant return" for the show.
"Beautifully edited, winningly constructed, it remains a cinnamon-scented, familiar old friend which has lost none of its charm or flair," she said.
She also noted the innuendo for which the programme has become famous - both from the contestants themselves and hosts Sue Perkins and Mel Giedroyc - was "present and correct".
The Guardian's Tim Dowling said the "gas had been turned up a notch" for the series opener.
"While it remains every inch the cosy affair you remember from past seasons, it sometimes has the feel of a wildly popular spectator sport desperately clinging to amateur status," he said.
"Over the years GBBO has evolved into a ratings champion, a celebrity mill and a major driver of weird-ingredient panic buying. No amount of bunting can disguise the pressure-cooker atmosphere."
In The Independent, Sally Newell said: "What I love about this show, apart from its warm predictability, is that for an hour, the only problems in the world are Bake Off."
She mused: "If only every day could be a Bake Off day."
Some 13.4 million people tuned in to see Nadiya Hussain win the last series, making it the most-watched programme of 2015.
Last year's opening episode was watched by 9.3 million viewers, according to overnight figures, peaking at 10 million.
The Chronicles of Nadiya, a two-part series about Bangladesh hosted by Hussain, debuted straight after Bake Off and was seen by 4.5 million, a 20.5% share of the audience.

Not just because Scots voted on whether to break away from the UK after more than 300 years, but also because of who could have their say.
It was the first time anywhere in the UK that 16 and 17-year-olds could vote on a national issue.
Now Labour says if it's elected into power at the general election next year, it'll let them vote all the time.
One thing's for certain, it won't happen before the general election next year.
So it all really depends on who wins the 2015 Election.
Ed Miliband is re-stating this would be a Labour policy as he tries to win over younger voters.
The Liberal Democrats have been long term fans of the idea too, with Lib Dem minister Danny Alexander telling Newsbeat "We'd have to see if it [letting under-18s vote] was practically do-able by the next election, I would want us to really try hard to make that possible."
The Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond, who resigned after the country voted to stay part of the UK, also told the Scottish Parliament he would like under-18s to make a return to the ballot box.
But not everyone is on board, when Labour announced the same plans last year the Conservatives argued giving young people the vote would "politicise the classroom".
For this one, we've asked two Scots who've recently voted, first, meet 22-year-old Lizzie.
"I think giving them [16 and 17-year-olds] the vote without ensuring that there are proper resources available for them to understand is a dangerous thing," she says.
"I feel that 16 and 17-year-olds are more likely to vote based on what their parents are saying, and not realise what they are actually voting for."
But Nathan, who's 17 and voted for the first time at the referendum, has got a taste for democracy.
"The referendum proved that that we are responsible enough to deal with the pressures of a major decision."
Although Nathan, who took part in the BBC's Generation 2014, also thinks the huge media coverage had a negative effect.
"It is a shame that an image of young people as troublemakers is created by a very small number of us," he says.
"I hope that if we do gain the right to vote in future elections and referendums, that we will be able to break away from this stereotype."
In some yes, but rather than read a long list of facts and figures, we've pulled them together in a 50-second video for you!
This hinges on how many under-18s would actually vote, and in what way.
We've spoken to Anthony Wells, who is an associate director in the political team at YouGov, which is a survey company which looks at voting.
He says: "Young voters tend to be more Labour, tend to be more progressive, and they tend to be more likely to support parties like the greens as well, so it would move politics to the left a little bit, but not by very much."
So what's the reason for teenagers thinking more "progressively"? According to Anthony it's youthful optimism.
"Young people tend to be a lot more idealistic, more forward looking and want the world to be a better fairer place. Older people tend to be a lot more cynical."
Anthony doesn't think these youthful views will make a huge dent on UK politics though, because there isn't a specific place in the UK with a particularly high number of young people.
He says: "When you've got everyone over the age of 18 voting, that's about 40 million people, if you add in another few hundred thousand [young voters], it's not going to be enough to make a huge difference anyway, especially since the younger the voters are the less likely they are to vote."

Judges Paul Hollywood and Mary Berry will continue to preside over the competition, once again presented by Sue Perkins and Mel Giedroyc.
BBC director of content Charlotte Moore said: "Mary, Paul, Mel and Sue are the perfect recipe for the festive season."
The shows will replace the Bake Off Masterclass programmes.
Last year saw Nadiya Hussain win the final of the show after baking a "big fat British wedding cake" adorned with jewels from her own wedding day as the showstopper.
The final became the most-watched TV programme of the year with an average audience of 15.1 million people, according to consolidated figures, which include catch-up viewing.
Hussain went on to bake the Queen's 90th birthday cake in April.

The Reverend Chris Newlands, of Lancaster and Morecambe Deanery, has proposed a motion to the General Synod, the ruling body of the Church of England, asking it to debate the issue.
The idea came after a young transgender person approached him, seeking to be "re-baptised" in his new identity. Similar ceremonies are already happening in some other Anglican churches.
This weekend, Nick Benn and his friends gathered at his church for a service to mark one of the most significant events in his life so far: the transition from his previous identity as a young woman, to a new life as a man.
The 20-year-old student had told his parents of his plans earlier in the year.
Later, Nick discussed with his vicar the idea of a ceremony in church to mark the move.
"For me, being part of a church community is really important - and to be who I am. So when I first came out, it was very important for me to have a service to mark that change," says Nick.
"And while it couldn't be another baptism, it could be an affirmation of the person I am."
Nick and his vicar formulated their own simple service, around 20 minutes long, held on Saturday evening.
Surrounded by friends, the ceremony acknowledged Nick's birth name and honoured the name that his parents had given him, before acknowledging his new name, with prayers and readings.
At Lancaster Priory, Chris Newlands is keen for the Church to have an official liturgy to guide the clergy on such occasions.
He wants the Church to be able to demonstrate its acceptance and love, and to help mark a milestone for someone transitioning from one gender to another.
"The reality is that transgender people are a part of our community, and if the Church can help people to make that transition well, they can be full participants in the life of the Church rather than suffering irreparable damage from people who make judgements based on ignorance," says Mr Newlands.
"We have to be explicit that everyone is welcome here - and that we're doing the welcome on God's behalf, and God doesn't reject, so neither should the Church."
He also wants the Church of England to show that it welcomes members of the congregation who often suffer from high levels of discrimination. So what does his congregation think of the idea?
"Often the bit Christians miss is that we have to love one another and we have to be tolerant," says Don Gilthorpe.
"Actually, if somebody wants to come to Christ, the love of God isn't selective so this is perfectly sensible.
"If somebody wants to be re-introduced in their new identity, then they should be enabled to do so by the Church."
Parishioner Lois Curtley agrees. "If a ceremony will reinforce the understanding that they are known and loved by God, that is a very small thing to offer.
"I doubt that there will be a huge number of people asking for it, but if it is something that will help somebody, the Church should be able to offer it freely."
For Nick, the service at his church was a real affirmation that he was welcome and recognised in his new identity as a man.
"I think for me to actually have my vicar offer the service and say, 'We want to be there and design a service and write prayers, and welcome you and your friends to speak at it', meant a lot to me because it meant that the Church extended the hand that had been missing for a long time."
Nonetheless, there are critics of the idea, on social media and elsewhere, and many within the Church remain to be convinced.
Susie Leafe is director of Reform, a campaigning network on the evangelical wing of the Church.
"I think it's quite a complex idea," she says.
"The Bible gives us the notion that there is one baptism, so the idea of 're-baptising' people is certainly something that would go against a lot of the deep theology of the Church and would be confusing."
The centrepiece of the Church of England's worship is the Book of Common Prayer, first published in 1662. It cannot be altered without the approval of parliament.
This was supplemented in 2000 by the publication of Common Worship: Services and Prayers for the Church of England, which includes services and prayers in diverse styles, with most of the material in contemporary language.
These are based either on those in the Book of Common Prayer, incorporating adaptations and additions that have become customary, or on services originally included in an alternative prayer book which were finally given official approval in 1966 after a long battle to get them sanctioned.
So should the Church of England in the 21st Century debate and perhaps create such a ceremony as part of the official liturgy?
Nick Benn hopes it will. He is in no doubt of how important the service was for him.
"My faith in God is there and is growing as I become more of who I am, because for so long I was someone who was a shadow of me, and not what I truly was.
"For people to come some way to accepting it, and the response of my church - and the way they have been so gracious and say, 'We support you, you are a member of our congregation, we can't turn that away, and we can't turn you away because of who you are,' that means a lot."
The £34m Stubbington bypass heads a wish list drawn up by the Solent Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP).
Also prioritized are a centre for warship maintenance in Portsmouth and a major housing development in Southampton.
LEPs are bidding for a share of £1.8bn under the Local Growth Fund.
Applications to the latest round of the government's job creation scheme must be made by 28 July.
Gosport Conservative MP Caroline Dinenage said the Stubbington bypass was "utterly essential for addressing the area's crippling congestion problems".
The road would cross nearly three miles of farmland, opening a route to the new Solent Enterprise Zone, a business park on the former Daedalus airfield near Fareham.
Sean Woodward, leader of Fareham Borough Council, said it would end rush hour gridlock in Stubbington village and reduce delays on the A32 between Fareham and Gosport.
Councillor Woodward, who also sits on the Solent LEP board, said the bypass was "a transformational scheme for South Hampshire".
The LEP is also bidding for £8m to continue a housing development in Southampton, including a 27-storey tower block.
In April, the agency said the next phase of the Centenary Quay project in Woolston had "viability concerns" and the developer, Crest Nicholson, could decide to "halt further investment".
The LEP also wants £1m to help upgrade facilities for warship maintenance at BAE systems at Portsmouth Naval Base, which cut more than 1,000 jobs when shipbuilding ended in 2014 .
Councillor Woodward said he "fully expected" the three LEP priorities to be awarded government funding in the Chancellor's Autumn Statement.
The vehicle got stuck, blocking access to Herd Street, Marlborough, Wiltshire, at about 16:50 BST.
Drivers had faced long delays when the road into the market town was closed, but the lorry has since been moved.
PC Keith Larkworthy, said: "We tried to get the lorry down the hill but it became wedged in the middle of the road blocking access into Marlborough."

PC Larkworthy said the goods vehicle had "lost traction" on The Green as it was heading out of town - narrowly missing the house - and had been reversed back "blocking in vehicles".
"Apparently the foreign driver's using sat-nav which can take them into some awkward situations where they get stuck, so it's probably not his fault," he said.
Matteo has already led Chelsea to the Champions League final after replacing Andre Villas Boas in March.
He said: "The boss [Roman Abramovich] will make a decision at the end of the season. I'm very relaxed about it and the players will be fine.
"There is certainly a potential dilemma heading Abramovich's way, although history tells us he can usually solve these matters without recourse to sentiment or soft heart."

BBC - Phil McNulty Di Matteo and Drogba audition for 'The Boss'
"I am a very fortunate person so it is not an issue."
Di Matteo, who has suffered only two defeats in 18 matches since taking charge, added: "I am very pleased with my position until the end of the season. The boss will then make a decision he feels is best for the club and we will respect that."
The Italian paid tribute to his players as they survived a late Liverpool siege to win and continue the turnaround in fortunes since the dismissal of former manager Villas-Boas.
"I am very pleased for the players," said Di Matteo. "We have had a difficult season with a lot of criticism but they have responded to all the adversity we have faced. I'm very pleased and satisfied with our performance today.
"I also think AVB should get some credit because he started us off on this run in the FA Cup."
Di Matteo has now won the FA Cup as a player and manager with Chelsea, saying: "I don't think many people get that opportunity. I'm fortunate enough to have played for this club and won the FA Cup and now I've been able to lead them to a trophy as coach."
Chelsea skipper John Terry said of the Wembley triumph: "It's fantastic, it's what we live for.
"At times people have slated us as too old, past it or not together but as a team we come together and unite when our backs are against the wall and we've done that superbly in the last 16 or 17 games.
Played: 18
Won: 12
Drawn: 4
Lost: 2 (Man City, Newcastle)
"We've still got a massive trophy, the Champions League - that's the target for the owner from day dot. We've done Robbie the world of good and it can do him no harm."
Full-back Ashley Cole secured his seventh FA Cup winners' medal but said: "It's not about me. It's down to the team that I have managed to achieve that and I'm very humbled.
"We could have had a disastrous season but now we've won the FA Cup and we want to go and make history in the Champions League.
"There's a great team spirit and feeling of togetherness. There's a feeling that we can win every game that we play."

An Australian ship has heard signals that officials said could be consistent with "black box" flight recorders.
It has not been able to reacquire them since Sunday, however.
Australian officials said it was key to re-find the signals before using a submersible in a search for wreckage.
Flight MH370 went missing on 8 March with 239 people on board. The Beijing-bound plane lost contact with air traffic controllers shortly after taking off from Kuala Lumpur.
Malaysian officials say that - based on satellite data - they believe the plane crashed into the southern Indian Ocean, west of the Australian city of Perth, thousands of kilometres from its intended flight path.
In Beijing, relatives of missing passengers held a vigil to mark one month since the plane disappeared.
Speaking at Pearce Airbase in Perth, Australian Defence Minister David Johnston said that several days of "intense action" were ahead as search teams tackled "this difficult, complex task" while black box pingers were still believed to be active.
Australian vessel Ocean Shield has been using a towed pinger locator to listen for transmissions from the plane's flight recorders. Over the weekend, it heard signals on two separate occasions, the first time for more than two hours.
On the second occasion two distinct pinger returns were audible, something said to be consistent with transmissions from both the flight data recorder and the cockpit voice recorder.
Air Chief Marshall Angus Houston, who heads the agency overseeing the search for the plane, said that Ocean Shield had had no further contact with any transmissions since then.
He said that work involving the towed pinger locator would continue for several days, adding that the Bluefin 21 underwater drone would not be deployed unless more transmissions were received.
"If we can get more transmissions we can get a better fix on the ocean floor, which will enable a much more narrowly focussed visual search for wreckage," he said.
"If we go down there now and do the visual search, it will take many, many days," he said, adding that it was "very slow and painstaking work".
He has also urged caution, saying that there was no confirmation that these signals were from the missing plane.
So far, no wreckage has been found from MH370, but officials have concluded that it ended its flight in the sea to the far west of Perth.
Officials do not know why it lost contact with air traffic controllers and ended up so far from its intended path.
The backgrounds of both passengers and crew have been investigated but to date officials are not thought to have discovered any concrete evidence about what might have caused the plane to disappear.
Relatives of those on board have endured a month of uncertainty and grief.
"We need to persist in resolving this situation, to persist in finding the clues and what really happened and finding our relatives," said Steve Wong, speaking for the Chinese relatives at the vigil in Beijing.

The Academy does not give out goody bags.
The lawsuit states that the Academy sent a legal letter to the company last year demanding that "all of Distinctive Assets' future communications concerning the gift bags will clearly communicate that the Academy does not award, sponsor, endorse, or provide these gift bags and that any reporting about the gift bags must include that disclaimer".
They claim this was agreed upon but point out that this year Distinctive Assets opted for the tagline "Everyone Wins Nominee Gift Bags in Honor of the Oscars®" in their social media promotions.
There have been a number of articles about the gift bags in a diverse range of publications many focusing on the controversial inclusion of a "vampire breast lift", a sex toy and a $275 (£191) roll of toilet paper.
In total the bags are estimated to be valued at $200,000 (£139,000).
The lawsuit claims the press coverage around the gift bags has also focused on the "unseemliness of giving such high value gifts, including trips costing tens of thousands of dollars, to an elite group of celebrities".
Contacted by the BBC, a spokesperson for Distinctive Assets said: "Distinctive Assets has not yet had the opportunity to fully review the AMPAS complaint with counsel and therefore has no comment at this time."
In recent years, airlines looking for cost savings have reduced the sizes of seats and cut the amount of passenger legroom, among other changes.
Passengers have often complained about the increasingly cramped quarters.
Some flights have been disrupted after disputes broke out among passengers because of seating arrangements.
"It costs you an arm and a leg just to have room for your arms and legs," said Senator Chuck Schumer, who sponsored the amendment, which was attached to a broader aviation bill.
Many airlines now charge passengers if they want more legroom.
Under the legislation, airlines would have been barred from further reducing the "size, width, padding and pitch" of seats. It also addressed legroom and the width of the aisles.
Airline companies opposed the bill saying the measure was attempting to "re-regulate" the industry.
The amendment failed 42-54 with all but one Republican voting against the legislation.
Local media say many of the men were shot at close range, some in the face.
Police say they defended themselves from attack by axes, sticks and stones.
Sandalwood smuggling is rampant in southern India, with a tonne selling for tens of thousands of dollars on the international black market.
Most of the casualties were from neighbouring Tamil Nadu state. Eight suspected smugglers were injured.
"At one of the two sites where bodies were found, seven of the nine dead had been shot in the face or the back of the head," the Indian Express reported. It said many had burn injuries.
BBC Tamil's Muralidharan Kasiviswanathan, who visited the area where the men were killed, says the shootings have sent shock waves through Tamil Nadu.
He says the labourers had been attracted to Andhra Pradesh to cut trees by lucrative pay rates of 3,000-5,000 rupees ($48-$80; £32-£53) a day. The loggers are often poor tribespeople or other migrant workers.
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister O Panneerselvam wrote to his Andhra Pradesh counterpart, demanding an inquiry.
"Many of these persons are reportedly from Tiruvannamalai and Vellore districts of Tamil Nadu. While it is possible that these persons may have been engaged in illegal activities, the occurrence of such high casualties in the operation raises concerns whether the Task Force personnel acted with adequate restraint," he said.
The leader of the MDMK party, Vaiko, said: "Big smuggling sharks escape and it is the poor who have been killed."
After news of the deaths broke, protesters attacked seven Andhra Pradesh Transport Corporation buses in the Tamil Nadu capital Chennai (Madras), the Indian Express reports.
India banned the sale of red sandalwood or red sanders in 2000.
The species of tree is endemic to the Western Ghats mountains of southern India.
It is prized for its rich red wood, mainly for making furniture and musical instruments in East Asia, and is distinct from the highly aromatic sandalwood trees that are native to southern India.
He was leading the first government inquiry into the atrocities, one month after the UN released its own findings.
President Maithripala Sirisena has pledged a truth and reconciliation commission to investigate further but resists calls for a foreign inquiry.
The 26-year war left at least 100,000 people dead.
The UK's Channel 4 and the UN have documented numerous atrocities committed during the war, with one investigation saying up to 40,000 people may have been in killed in the final five months alone.
Others suggest the number of deaths could be even higher.
The government tabled retired judge Maxwell Paranagama's finding in a report to parliament on Tuesday.
The judge said there were "credible allegations which... may show that some members of the armed forces committed acts during the final phase of the war that amounted to war crimes giving rise to individual criminal responsibility".
He went to say there was evidence to suggest that footage obtained by the Channel 4 documentary No Fire Zone - showing prisoners naked, blindfolded, with arms tied and shot dead by soldiers - was genuine.
Sri Lanka's military at the time had dismissed the documentary as a fabrication.
The Paranagama commission also said a case involving the killing of the top Tamil Tiger political leadership in May 2009 - known as the "White Flag" case - should be investigated.
He called on the government to set up an internationally-backed judicial inquiry, which was also recommended in the UN report in September.
The first government-led inquiry into the allegations was commissioned in 2013 by then-President Mahinda Rajapakse, who oversaw the final push against the rebels in 2009.
Mr Rajapaksa has always denied his troops committed war crimes, and resisted international inquiries.
The UN's long-awaited report accused both sides of atrocities, especially during the final stages of the war in 2009.
Its main findings include:
The final months of the war saw hundreds of thousands of Tamil civilians trapped in territory held by the Tamil Tigers (LTTE) in the north-east.
While government forces were accused of indiscriminate shelling leading to massive casualties, the Tamil Tiger rebels were alleged to have used civilians as human shields and shot people trying to escape.
Allegations persist to this day that the army killed rebel leaders and others after they surrendered or were captured - and the UN admitted in 2012 that it could and should have done more to protect civilians.
As well as the thousands of Tamils who died in the final battles near Mullaitivu, many others are still missing.
The Greyfriars Green tunnel on Coventry's ring road will close to traffic at 17:00 GMT on 30 May and be turned into a 5,000-capacity club.
The Motofest event will follow the official opening of the tunnel, part of the £59m Friargate development.
After a night of DJs and other entertainment, the tunnel will reopen at 05:00, organisers said.
Jeremy Heaver, Motofest commercial director, said: "When we first took the idea to Coventry City Council, I think it probably took them aback as it is a slightly leftfield thing to do."
Councillor Rachel Lancaster, in charge of public services, described it as a "pretty unique way to celebrate the opening of our new tunnel", part of a major regeneration project in Coventry.
The three-day Motofest 2015 begins on 29 May and will see the city stage time trials on public roads, alongside exhibitions, music and other events.
British Formula 3 cars, among others, will complete laps of the ring road.
It follows a change in the law in July which allowed local authorities to suspend the Road Traffic Act.
Organisers said they wanted Motofest to be seen as the "Edinburgh Festival" of vehicles.
The Samoan forward was sin-binned but a disciplinary hearing has suspended Paulino for three weeks so he will miss games with Connacht and Edinburgh.
The 27-year-old's absence will be a blow for Scarlets, whose Wales lock Jake Ball is out injured.
Paulino will join a French team next season and has been linked with Lyon.
Green is one of four forwards released, along with Ashley Hemmings, Pat Hoban and Yoann Arquin.
Midfielders Jamie McGuire, Kevan Hurst and James Baxendale have also left the Stags, who finished 12th in the fourth tier this season.
Goalkeepers Brian Jensen and Scott Shearer and defenders Corbin Shires and Lee Collins complete the list.
Green, 30, scored 29 goals in 95 games in his second spell for the club after signing from Birmingham City on a free transfer in 2015.
Meanwhile 33-year-old McGuire is considering an offer to join the under-21 coaching staff at Field Mill.
Second through the sliding doors was Willie Rennie of the Scottish Lib Dems. He spoke about running away from the police "as a wee boy" and how he would fight in a war "if they would have me".
Asking the questions were Sarah (18); Jamie-Lee (16); Louis (16); Erin (18) and Megan (18).
They are all members of the BBC's Generation 2016 election panel.
Mr Rennie, who has been both an MSP and an MP, was posed the question: Who would you like to be stuck in a lift with?
He replied: "I think, probably my wife, would be the first one, but if I'm allowed a second one, it would be Tom Hanks - the great actor.
"I love Forrest Gump, and I'm a softy for Turner and Hooch, which is a fantastic film, just a slob out film to watch, so Tom Hanks, my wife, and yourself [Generation 2016 questioner Megan]."
Other questions put to Mr Rennie included - have you ever been in trouble with the police; would you fight in a war; would you let a refugee live with you and is it fair that the minimum wage is lower for young people?
The Scottish Green Party's Patrick Harvie; Scottish Tory Ruth Davidson; Scottish Labour's Kezia Dugdale and the SNP's Nicola Sturgeon have also been part of the BBC's Leaders in a Lift series.
It has now been discovered that war poets Wilfred Owen, Siegfried Sassoon and Robert Graves met at Baberton Golf Club in Juniper Green.
A university lecturer searched libraries and archives for clues to solve the mystery.
The answer was found in letters from 1917 at Southern Illinois University.
Neil McLennan, a former head of history at Tynecastle School who now works as a senior lecturer at Aberdeen University, said where the men met had remained unknown for 100 years.
He said: "Confirming this venue has been something that I really got between my teeth.
"We always knew the three men met in Edinburgh but not where.
"Many may wonder why this matters but it is an important piece of the city's literary history.
"One of Edinburgh's golf clubs can say it held potentially the most powerful meeting of English literature in the 20th century.
"The three most significant war poets were there.
"Owen is often referred to as the most powerful war poet, perhaps even the most powerful poet in English literature and this meeting was key to his success."
Alan Goodman Baberton Golf Club Captain said: "We were excited to learn that this historic meeting took place in our clubhouse and led to such an important collaboration between three of Britain's greatest war poets.
"We intend to create a permanent reminder of this meeting for members and visitors to view."
The Manchester City boss said the former England player, 35, is at the same level as Spanish World Cup winners Xabi Alonso and Sergio Busquets.
Carrick, who joined United in 2006 from Tottenham, has made 31 appearances for the club this season.
"He's one of the best holding midfielders I've ever seen in my life, by far," Guardiola said.
Carrick has made more than 400 appearances in total and is United's second-longest serving player after Wayne Rooney.
The City boss, whose team play United in a rearranged Premier League fixture on Thursday, said that English football was "safe" with players such as Carrick and team-mate Marcus Rashford.
Carrick has picked up 34 England caps in an international career that started in 2001, while teenager Rashford has made eight senior appearances.
"I am a big fan of Michael Carrick. Marcus Rashford is a good talent. You have outstanding players, you can do it with the national team."
City claimed a 2-1 victory when the two Manchester sides met at Old Trafford in September but United have not lost a league game since October - a run of 23 matches.
"They are good, good rivals, good quality, in good form. They've had big series without defeat in the Premier League," the Spaniard continued.
"They have a lot of quality, history. We're looking forward to the game."

Both Manchester sides are vying for a Champions League spot, with Guardiola's fourth-placed side currently one point ahead of Manchester United in fifth.
Hosts City have dropped 15 points at home this season and are unlikely to finish higher than third.
"I've been managing for nine years and this is my first year without a trophy. Sometimes it has to happen and it happened this year," Guardiola added.
"If I extend my career long, I'm sure there will be many years in the future it happens. But there's also a lot of teams in Europe who are not going to win a trophy."
City spent £175m on players last summer - the most of any Premier League team - with Manchester United second on the list after parting with around £150m.
Chelsea manager Antonio Conte said on Tuesday that spending the most money on players does not guarantee success and cited both Manchester clubs.
However, Guardiola said that Conte could not forget the Premier League leaders' own summer spending.
"It is not just United or City and this summer it's going to happen again," he said.
"I agree but I think he cannot forget that all the players Chelsea have, have cost a lot of money."
Andrew Check, 30, was jailed for 10 years on Monday after admitting two counts of assault by penetration.
Swansea Crown Court heard the imprint from his Fred Perry shoes at the house in the Tenby, Pembrokeshire, helped police trace him.
Check, of Tenby, must serve a further seven years on licence upon release.
Prosecutor Nicola Powel said the victim woke in the middle of the night to see Check stood over her.
He then held a knife to her throat as he assaulted her.
Det Adele Benjafield identified the tennis shoe pattern from a database of 38,000 images.
Police carrying out house-to-house inquiries visited Check's home and noticed he matched the physical description given to officers.
A pair of Fred Perry trainers were found at his home - they were not the ones worn in the attack, but were enough to make officers suspicious.
A search revealed the victim's DNA on a glove in Check's house.
In a video shown to court, the victim said: "I suffer with nightmares, anxiety, and panic attacks and I am unable to sleep. I don't know how and when I will recover my life again."
Judge Keith Thomas said: "Such an offence rightly frightens and horrifies people in equal measure.
"He carried out the attack in a callous and determined way. The rape sent shockwaves throughout the community. "
After the case, Dyfed-Powys Police Det Benjafield said: "The evidential value of footwear is becoming more recognised.
"It's value is on a par with fingerprints and DNA samples and scans of footwear are routinely taken of people who come through our custody suites."
The call was made during a debate on the future funding of farming.
Agriculture Minister Michelle McIlveen has established a consultative committee, to inform the executive's negotiating position.
The EU contributes about £250m a year to farmers
The assembly heard claims that funding agriculture was not a priority for the UK government.
Northern Ireland currently gets 10% of the UK's European subsidy payments.
Speakers, including the SDLP's Patsy McGlone, claimed that it would not do as well under a domestic agricultural policy.
If the Barnett funding formula, which is used to calculate Northern Ireland's share of UK budgets, was applied the equivalent share would be 3%, he said.
But the DUP's Edwin Poots claimed farmers had voted "overwhelmingly" for Brexit and it offered them opportunities.
These included displacing agricultural produce currently imported to the UK.
He said farmers did not want "handouts" but a fair return for their work.
Ulster Unionist Harold McKee said it was disappointing that the "most basic preparations weren't put in place" prior to the referendum vote.
Sinn Féin's Caoimhe Archibald claimed the signals from Westminster were "not encouraging" and the minister had "her work cut out for her".
David Ford of the Alliance Party said the chancellor's commitment to underpin direct payments for farmers until 2020 was "not much of a guarantee" given that it would be 2019 at the earliest before the UK would be in a position to leave the European Union.
Well, if you are Welsh sailor Hannah Mills, the answer is simple. You aim to repeat your success, maybe this time in a different boat.
History awaits for the 29-year-old as Mills aims to become Britain's most successful female Olympic sailor and put her name among the world greats in her sport.
After flirting with the idea, Mills confirmed this week she plans to attempt to win the 49erFX gold at Tokyo 2020 after winning the 470 class with Saskia Clark in Rio last year.
Putting off retirement
Mills' Rio recognition will be completed when she collects her MBE at Buckingham Palace next month.
She has revealed why she has decided against following a fellow Rio golden girl into retirement.
"I thought I would finish after Rio," Mills told BBC Wales Sport.
"Saskia was retiring, we'd had such an amazing six-year partnership and achieved everything we had ever dreamed of together. It seemed a natural conclusion.
"After Rio, I did some different things, work experience up in London to experience real life. That was cool and re-energised me.
"You put everything into an Olympic campaign, you are absolutely drained and have nothing left to give.
"I also did some sailing for fun and got the love back.
"I had a good think. I am 29 and might not get this chance again. I'm just so excited about the next three and a half years."

Why change boats?
Mills is now back in training, currently in southern Spain trialling the new boat with Alain Sign, who competed in Rio.
"I have sailed the 470 for 10 years and won Olympic silver and gold," said Mills.
"I felt whatever I wanted to achieve in Tokyo, I needed to break away from that boat.
"Maybe in a year's time, I will be back there [in the 470 boat], sailing it full of passion.
"But right now, I knew I wanted to keep sailing and was desperate to win another gold medal. This is the right event for me."
The pair will compete in three mixed events before Mills has to find a female partner to compete at the World Championships in September, with a final decision on her Olympics boat expected in a year.
"I have been sailing with Alain who is one of the best in the world," said Mills.
"The little mistakes I am making, he can stop happening and he is constantly telling me things to get better.
"It's a huge benefit. We have three regattas opened up to mixed crews, which is fantastic because I get real racing experience.
"The World Championships are in September so I will need to find a female partner for that.
"I am having ongoing chats and scouting. After the World Championships, there will be a review time to decide whether I continue in the 49erFX with a final decision expected in February or March 2018."
What's the difference?
Mills has explained how the two boats differ.
"The main thing is I am now standing on the side of the boat," said the Dinas Powys sailor.
"I am hooked on to a wire, it's called trapesing, as opposed to sitting down and leaning out the side of the boat.
"It's a new skill and I have been quite wobbly at times.
"With the FX being a bigger boat, I'm going to need to put on some weight which is a challenge in itself as I'm tiny.
"I'll need to put on about 10% of my body weight, so quite a lot."
Concussion concern
Mills has revealed her return to sailing was hampered by a six-week lay-off because of concussion.
"In the first training camp in January we were doing a fitness session and one of the guys knocked me over," said Mills.
"I experienced concussion symptoms. I struggled to concentrate and focus on anything.
"If I concentrated on anything too hard, my brain felt as if it wouldn't work. I would be exhausted and have to have a lie down."
Concussion is currently a hot topic in sport and Mills revealed the effects she has suffered.
"It was distressing," said Mills.
"You can't see an injury in your brain but there is no time frame in when you are going to get better and you don't know how bad the damage is.
"It's hard to say whether I am fully recovered. It feels like I am, especially these last few weeks.
"Up until that point, I was still showing the odd sign and if I did too much in a day, I'd be tired.
"I would say I am 99% now and luckily come out the other side."
Nelson Jobim is the third minister to lose his job since Ms Rousseff took office in January - a turnover that has strained her governing coalition.
He is reported to have called one fellow minister a "weakling" and described others as "idiots".
Mr Jobim will be replaced by the former Foreign Minister, Celso Amorim.
Nelson Jobim is one of several ministers who also served under Ms Rousseff's predecessor, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
He is said to have been angry that Ms Rousseff overruled him on a multi-billion dollar contract to buy fighter jets.
In recent weeks he been reported as making a series of critical remarks about fellow ministers.
First he said at an opposition event that he was surrounded by "idiots".
Then he said in a television interview that he had voted for Ms Rousseff's opponent Jose Serra in last year's presidential election.
The final straw appears to have been a magazine interview, parts of which have been leaked, in which he reportedly called another minister a "weakling".
Mr Jobim's resignation is the third to shake Ms Rousseff's government since she took office on 1 January.
Last month, her Transport Minister Alfredo Nascimento resigned over a corruption scandal in his department, though he denied any wrongdoing.
And in June her chief of staff, Antonio Palocci, stepped down in the face of questions about his rapid accumulation of personal wealth.
Webb made his comeback from an ankle injury in the Swansea region's 26-21 win over Newcastle.
The 28-year-old is expected to be released from Wales' Six Nations squad to continue his return to fitness.
"There's a strong possibility and we'd be more than comfortable in giving him as much game time as he needs," said attack coach Gruff Rees.
"He certainly wouldn't train properly until Thursday or Friday, but that's no issue with someone like Rhys.
"He lead the side last week, he knows a lot of our tactical messages and he'll drive probably an even younger group this week."
Webb is one of 11 Ospreys players in Wales' squad which met up on Monday.
He has played only an hour since undergoing ankle surgery following Wales' 32-8 defeat by Australia on 5 November. | A rare bird usually found in Central Asia and Africa has been discovered at a nature reserve in Nottinghamshire.

Legs 11 on Broad Street, Birmingham, had the licence suspended on 3 July over police claims it was associated with "serious crime".
Barbara Dring, the city council's licensing sub-committee chair, said it was revoked to protect public safety.
Legs 11 has not responded to requests for a comment.

Chris Neville, head of licensing, said the club had ceased trading. Its Sexual Entertainment Venue (SEV) licence was revoked earlier this month.
"We were really shocked at what was happening on those premises," he added.
Supt Andy Parsons, of West Midlands Police, called for the licence review saying the club was "associated with serious crime".
In the committee's report, he said two men had claimed they were drugged, with one testing positive for methadone with a home testing kit.
The club was being investigated over 17 fraud-related allegations since 2013, police said.
Some customers paid for dances "in a private area" but additional transactions were taking place that they had not authorised, Supt Parsons added.
One victim claimed he had lost as much as £19,417.
Mrs Dring said councillors saw "deeply concerning" CCTV footage in the meeting, which was closed to the public, including of sales of alcohol to "clearly inebriated" patrons.
They heard evidence customers had lost "significant sums of money" through unauthorised transactions, while others were "routinely overcharged" by the venue which turned over £1.6m in one six-month period, she said.
The committee heard one patron was offered sex in exchange for money, contravening the rules of the licence.
Mr Neville said the next step was to see what criminal proceedings would follow and the council would also check other lap dancing clubs in the city were being run appropriately.
Their leader Jeremy Corbyn says his party has made its position "very clear" in backing the Remain campaign, and a "big speech" from him has been promised.
That should provide more detail on what the man who voted to leave the European Economic Community in the 1975 referendum thinks this time around.
It's fair to say that so far he has hardly been on the frontlines this time round - and during Labour's leadership campaign he refused to rule out voting to leave, accusing the EU of endorsing tax havens and calling for better protection for workers and the environment.
After he confirmed Labour would campaign for Remain, he was accused by Leave campaigners of going back on long-held hostility towards the EU.
On the other side, some Remain campaigners have called for him to be more vocal in backing Labour's side of the debate.
At a meeting of the Parliamentary Labour Party, he was urged by backbench MPs to do more or risk a defeat for the campaign to remain.
His spokesman said he would be "at the heart" of Labour's campaign, and he has also been defended by Labour grandee and Britain Stronger in Europe board member Lord Mandelson, who said Corbyn had been "absolutely clear" in his backing for EU membership.
Mr Corbyn has expressed Eurosceptic arguments in the past - in 1993, he spoke out against the Maastricht Treaty which established the European Union and moved towards economic and political union.
The treaty, Mr Corbyn said, "takes away from national parliaments the power to set economic policy and hands it over to an unelected set of bankers who will impose the economic policies of price stability, deflation and high unemployment throughout the European Community".
He voted against the Lisbon Treaty in 2008, and in one article on his website, said the EU had "always suffered a serious democratic deficit".
Apparently written amid speculation on who would become the first European Council president in 2009, the article said: "The creation of the post of president is a triumph for the tenacity of the European long-sighters.
"The project has always been to create a huge free-market Europe, with ever-limiting powers for national parliaments and an increasingly powerful common foreign and security policy."
During the Labour leadership contest last year, the candidates were regularly asked how they would campaign in the referendum, which we now know is being held on 23 June.
At a GMB hustings Mr Corbyn said "I would advocate a No vote if we are going to get an imposition of free market policies across Europe", before going on to criticise the "growing military links" with Nato and calling for trade union "harmonisation" across the bloc, "rather than just allowing it as a business free-for-all across Europe".
In another debate, hosted by the Fabian Society, he said he had "mixed feelings" on the EU, and at a hustings in Warrington said he would not rule out campaigning to leave.
He said: "I think we should be making demands: universal workers' rights, universal environmental protection, end the race to the bottom on corporate taxation, end the race to the bottom in wage protection.
"And I think we should be making those demands and negotiating on those demands rather than saying blankly we're going to support whatever Cameron comes out with in one, two years' time, whenever he finally decides to hold this referendum."
After winning a landslide victory in Labour's leadership contest, Mr Corbyn said David Cameron should not have a "blank cheque" in his negotiations ahead of the referendum.
Under pressure from MPs to clarify his position, Mr Corbyn said he wanted the UK to remain a member but would try to reverse any "damaging changes" negotiated by Mr Cameron.
"Labour is clear that we should remain in the EU. But we too want to see reform," he wrote in the Financial Times.
He added: "If Mr Cameron fails to deliver a good package or one that reduces the social gains we have previously won in Europe, he needs to understand that Labour will renegotiate to restore our rights and promote a socially progressive Europe."
After David Cameron returned from the Brussels summit, the Labour leader said the PM's reforms were a "great opportunity missed'', adding that EU membership brought "jobs and investment".
Speaking after a meeting of the Party of European Socialists in Brussels, he said: "The Labour Party is going to be committed to campaigning to stay in the European Union.
"And when there's a Labour government in 2020, we will be trying to ensure better workers' protection across Europe, strong financial protections all across Europe, and a Europe that is based on social justice and good, rather than solely on free-market economics."
He has also stressed he is "not on the same side of the argument" as David Cameron, despite both leaders backing continued EU membership.
Speaking on BBC Question Time, Mr Corbyn's ally, shadow chancellor John McDonnell, said he and the leader would be "out there on the stump", adding: "Now is the time for us to actually come out a bit more in terms of explaining our views."
Some businesses say not enough has been done to prepare them for the biggest sporting event ever hosted in Wales.
But the team of business owners that set up the helpline said they were concerned at the number of companies yet to plan or engage with the council.
A Cardiff council spokesman said every business had been visited and given information about the arrangements.
Hundreds of thousands of fans are expected in Cardiff when Real Madrid face Juventus at the Principality Stadium next Saturday.
There will be extensive road closures for safety reasons and to manage the volume of visitors.
Jonathan Morgan, from IT company Object Matrix, said: "We told staff they can't drive to work that week and we're not expecting any deliveries - but as a company trading internationally, if communications links aren't affected, we're happy to see the event on our doorstep."
Not all city businesses expect to benefit.
"We see it on big rugby days," said Tim Corrigan, owner of the café chain Milk and Sugar.
"Different businesses benefit from the larger events - the bars, restaurants and hotels."
Businesses, like hairdressing chain Lazarou Brothers, have changed strategies.
Owner Andreas Leonardus said: "It's up to me to adapt.
"It's an amazing thing that's bringing millions to Cardiff. So what I am looking to do is to start a social media campaign to target people coming into Cardiff and staying in the hotels."
The hotels have been booked for weeks and there has been huge interest through accommodation websites.
"All our accommodation is full," claimed Nigel Read from Penarth-based estate agent Sea Breeze homes. "It's a very, very good time for the company."
But he added: "The council haven't come forward to tell us what's happening and they haven't given us any support."
A team of business owners, under the leadership of coach Cindy Williams and the banner Cyn-gost, is providing a helpline - 02920 107700 - "so we can communicate and understand, and make things a little less impactful".
They also have events planned for 31 May and 2 June in a bid help businesses in the last days of build-up and beyond.
Miss Williams said: "Over the past few weeks we have been concerned with the number of businesses yet to plan or engage with Cardiff council.
"We believe many are ill-informed, which will result in costly mistakes, or businesses simply failing to capitalize on the potential benefits.
"A 24-hour helpline, manned by experienced business owners, will provide expert, informed, and up to date advice."
Issues they are unable to help with will be logged to help with future events.
Cyn-gost member Jason Dunlop, from the consultancy A Critical Friend, said the legacy of UEFA was important.
"We will sit down with companies to look back at the Champions League data and then share the learnings with council, government and other stakeholders to improve the experience, when other world events come to our great city," he said.
A council spokesman said a team of officers had been visiting every business across the city to give information on the arrangements since March.
"This week the council worked with the Business Improvement District and the Licensee Forum to present to 400 business representatives, with staff on hand to answer any questions," he added.
"Due to the necessary security arrangements that need to be put in place, businesses need to plan ahead so they can make the most of this opportunity.
"In our meetings with businesses across the city centre we have worked hard to ensure they are aware of this and of course we are working with businesses to help facilitate their requirements where we can within the security plan.
"If there are any businesses who feel they have not had the necessary information we would urge them to contact [email protected]
"Also, the Cardiff 2017 website which is updated regularly, contains essential advice for businesses residents and visitors around the event."
After struggling for first-team football, the England international has been linked with a January move to Premier League rivals West Ham.
Sturridge has yet to score in his nine top-flight appearances this season, of which only four have been starts.
"There is absolutely no thought to sell any player from the first-team squad," said Klopp.
"I don't think it would make sense."
The 27-year-old forward has scored four goals in the EFL Cup and two for England, but is sidelined with a calf injury and will miss the Reds' trip to Bournemouth on Sunday.
"Unfortunately Daniel is not in training now and that is what I am more concerned about than any transfer rumours," Klopp added.
"But I am prepared for everything you could ask me in January."
Connor Smith, 19, died of a bullet wound to the abdomen following an attack in Forde Way Gardens, Hawkesley on 8 October.
Leon Fry, 27, of Rodney Close, Birmingham, is accused of murder and possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life.
Phillip Baillie, 28, and Marcus Jones, 27, are also charged with murder.
Baille, of Fordway Gardens, Hawksley and Jones, of Gildas Avenue, Kings Norton were remanded in custody by Birmingham magistrates,
Two women, aged 22 and 26, from Chelmsley Wood, and a 41-year-old man, from the Stoke area of Coventry, arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender, were released on police bail.
The 30-year-old will also miss the friendly in France on 13 June.
A Football Association statement said Vardy suffered the problem in training on Tuesday.
Manager Gareth Southgate will not call up a replacement, with Jermain Defoe, Harry Kane and Marcus Rashford the strikers in the squad.

The 9ft-long (2.7m) juvenile Allosaurus was the first such dinosaur skeleton to go under the hammer in the UK, according to auctioneers.
It was found by renowned German palaeontologist Raimund Albersdoerfer in 2009 at a quarry in Wyoming, USA.
The 150-155 million-year-old skeleton was expected to fetch between £300,000 and £500,000 at Summers Place Auctions.
A spokeswoman for the auction house in Billingshurst, West Sussex, said bidding stopped below the reserve price agreed with the seller.
But Summer Place Auctions would be open to "reasonable" offers, she added.
The creature lived during the late Jurassic period and walked on two legs like its more famous carnivorous relative from the late Cretaceous period, Tyrannosaurus Rex.
However, the T-Rex had very short forelimbs, while the Allosaurus had longer arms.
Fully grown, the Allosaurus could reach 12m (39ft) in length.
The skeleton retains an articulated skull with dagger-like teeth.
Errol Fuller, curator of the sale, said relatively complete dinosaurs were extremely rare and the remains of juveniles even more so.
The bones of the Allosaurus were scattered over a wide area and intermingled with the much larger remains of a Sauropod.
Take the dinosaur quiz
Two years ago, the auction house sold the skeleton of a long-necked Diplodocus longus to the Natural History Museum of Denmark for £400,000.
It was also found in Wyoming, by the teenage sons of Mr Albersdoerfer.
Mr Fuller said the same auction house sold a mammoth last year, and also had links with Mr Albersdoerfer, who always brought his finds back to Germany.
He said there had been a "fair amount of interest in the skeleton from museums and private collectors around the world".
The seven former paratroops have asked the High Court to stop them being arrested and brought to Northern Ireland.
A lawyer for one of the paratroops told the court the challenge revolved around where they would be interviewed.
Lord Chief Justice Lord Thomas said it was a "wholly exceptional case".
A 66-year-old arrested in Antrim earlier this month was the first man to be detained in the investigation.
Thirteen people were shot dead on 30 January 1972 in Londonderry when paratroops opened fire on crowds.
Fourteen others were wounded, one of whom died months later.
The lawyer said the former Parachute Regiment members had no issue with being interviewed and would co-operate.
He was speaking at the first public hearing of the judicial review action brought at the High Court in London by the former soldiers against the chief constable of the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI).
The issue at the heart of their application was that the men should not be arrested and interviewed in Northern Ireland, he said.
A lawyer for the chief constable of the Police Service of Northern Ireland told the court "that criminal investigations are unpleasant and unwelcome to those caught up in them but are necessary for the rule of law".
The case was described by the lord chief justice as being of "considerable interest" to the public.
Earlier this month, the PSNI made its first arrest over the Bloody Sunday killings, questioning a former member of the Parachute Regiment.
The ex-soldier was arrested in County Antrim and interviewed at a police station in Belfast before being released on bail the following day.
The legal action being considered by the three judges was lodged with the High Court after their former colleague was arrested.
Bloody Sunday was one of the most controversial days in Northern Ireland's history.
The fatal shootings, were the subject of a 12-year public inquiry led by Lord Saville.
The Saville Report, published in 2010, unequivocally blamed the army for the civilian deaths and exonerated those who were killed.
Prime Minister David Cameron accepted the findings of the report and made a public apology to the victims.
The UK government is due to publish its Wales Bill soon, transferring new powers and setting out how to make the devolution settlement clearer.
Last week, First Minister Carwyn Jones warned he would reject any attempt to weaken the powers of the assembly.
On Thursday, Mr Crabb told the Western Mail newspaper the chances of an agreement were now "very, very low".
Mr Jones's comments were in response to a report by academics that described the proposals as "convoluted" and "unstable".
The disagreement centres on a move to a Scottish-style reserved powers model, where a list of subjects remains under UK government control, leaving all other matters to be considered devolved.
Wales currently has conferred powers, where the responsibilities of the assembly are listed.
Mr Crabb said: "Carwyn and some of the academics and some more nationalist lawyers have been talking about a separate legal jurisdiction for Wales.
"The vast, vast majority of the body of law that affects Wales and the interests of Wales is done on an England and Wales basis.
"To somehow try to unpick that now is a massive, massive exercise - hugely costly."
Mr Crabb said the UK government was "having to work really, really hard with the Welsh government in a very pragmatic way but I feel very pessimistic about the chances of reaching an agreement with the Welsh government on this".
A spokesman for Mr Jones said: "We are still willing to work with the UK government on the draft Wales Bill, but we've been absolutely clear with them that what they're offering at the moment won't be acceptable to the people of Wales, or to the national assembly.
"The current proposals threaten to actually roll-back the devolution settlement - there's no mandate for that whatsoever.
"Let's be clear, if we are not satisfied that the Bill meets the needs of Wales, we will not support it."
She underwent surgery in Mumbai's Saifee hospital, and last week doctors said she had lost 250kg (550lbs).
But her sister said this was untrue, adding that her sister was in delicate health as she may have had a stroke.
The hospital has angrily rejected the allegations.
The row began on Monday when Ms Abd El Aty's sister, Shaimaa Selim, released a short video on social media, alleging that her sister was still unable to speak or move, and had not lost as much weight as the hospital was claiming.
On Tuesday, she told the BBC that the hospital was lying about her weight loss.
"He [Dr Muffazal Lakdawala, who led the operation] didn't weigh her before and after. If he has any proof of her weight loss, show us the video of her weight before and after."
Describing her sister's health as delicate, she said: "Oxygen is not normal in her body. She has to wear an oxygen mask almost all the time. There is a tube from her nose to her stomach because she can't eat or drink well from her mouth.
But a spokeswoman for the hospital told the BBC that Ms Abd El Aty was weighed again on Monday and she now weighed 172kg.
Dr Lakdawala also strongly denied the allegations in a tweet.
Eman Abd El Aty suffered a stroke at the age of 11 and her weight meant she was unable to leave her home for 25 years.
She was flown in a special aircraft in January to Mumbai's Saifee hospital where she underwent bariatric surgery in March by a team of doctors, led by Dr Lakdawala.
The hospital says she can now fit into a wheelchair and sit up for longer periods of time. It released new pictures of Ms Abd El Aty following weight reduction surgery.
Reports say Ms Selim is unhappy because the hospital authorities believe that Ms Abd El Aty's treatment is almost over and that she can be sent home to Alexandria soon.
"There are cases like this in other parts of the world. In America and in other countries, there are heavyweight people. They have been in the hospital for one or two years to lose weight and become normal.
"But just after a month or two here, the doctors say that I can take my sister back. I asked them how, as she is still very big and if anything happens to her in Egypt, how can I go to a hospital there?
"It would be impossible and nobody would help me in Egypt. I said, 'Please please keep her for a long time to help her lose weight'," her sister said.
Bariatric surgery, also known as weight loss surgery, is used as a last resort to treat people who are dangerously obese (having a body mass index of 40 or above, or 35 with other obesity-related health conditions).
Bariatric surgery, also known as weight loss surgery, is used as a last resort to treat people who are dangerously obese and carrying an excessive amount of body fat.

President: Jose Eduardo dos Santos
Jose Eduardo dos Santos, of the ruling MPLA, has been in power since 1979, and is Africa's second-longest serving head of state after Equatorial Guinea's Teodoro Obiang. He keeps tight control over all aspects of Angola's political life.
Many Angolans credit the president for leading the country to recovery after the end of its 27-year civil war in 2002, and for turning the country's formerly socialist economy into one of the world's fastest-growing - mainly on the back of Angola's prodigious oil wealth.
Some, however, accuse him of authoritarianism, staying in office for too long and failing to distribute the proceeds from the oil boom more widely.
In 2008, his party won the country's first parliamentary elections for 16 years. A new constitution approved in 2010 substituted direct election of the president with a system under which the top candidate of the largest party in parliament becomes president.
It also strengthened the presidency's powers, prompting the Unita opposition to accuse the government of "destroying democracy".
He appointed his daughter Isabel as chief executive of the state-run oil firm Sonangol in 2016, prompting suspicions that he is establishing a dynasty at a time he is winding down his own career.
Isabel has been ranked by Forbes magazine as the richest woman on the continent with a fortune of around $3 billion.
Social media appeared to be under threat at the end of 2015 when President dos Santos called for their stricter regulation, at a time when the government was cracking down on political dissident and activism.
For many urban Angolans, the internet has become the primary medium for expression of political anger because of the dangers of protesting on the streets.
The state controls all media with nationwide reach, including radio, the most influential medium outside the capital.
Some key dates in Angola's history:
1300s - Kongo kingdom consolidates in the north.
1483 - Portuguese arrive.
17th and 18th centuries - Angola becomes a major Portuguese trading arena for slaves. Between 1580 and 1680 a million plus are shipped to Brazil.
1885-1930 - Portugal consolidates colonial control over Angola, local resistance persists.
1950s-1961 - Nationalist movement develops, guerrilla war begins.
1974 - Revolution in Portugal, colonial empire collapses.
1975 - Portuguese withdraw from Angola without formally handing power to any movement. MPLA is in control of Luanda and declares itself government of independent Angola. Unita and FNLA set up a rival government in Huambo.
Civil war begins, dragging on until 2002.
1979 - Jose Eduardo dos Santos becomes country's leader.
1987 - South African forces enter southeast Angola to thwart MPLA and Cuban offensive against Unita. They withdrew the next year.
1991 - Government, Unita sign peace accord in Lisbon.
1992 - Disputed elections. Fighting flares again.
1998 - Luanda launches offensive against Unita - thousands killed in next four years of fighting.
2002 - Unita leader Jonas Savimbi is killed in battle and a formal ceasefire is signed.
About 8,200 cars were recalled last November after problems were identified with the improper repair of the resistor's thermal fuse.
On Thursday, Opel said the resistor thermal fuse and the blower motors in all vehicles would be replaced.
A total of 234,938 Vauxhall Zafiras have also been recalled across the UK.
In the recall last year, the resistors in all cars were replaced along with any corroded blower motors.
This latest recall will see all cars fitted with a brand new wax fuse resistor and the blower motors on all cars will be replaced.
In a statement, Opel, which trades under the brand name Vauxhall in the UK, said customers would be contacted to bring their cars back to Opel dealerships so that "preventative action" could be carried out.
"While the current action achieves the objective of returning vehicles to their original condition, after extensive investigations we have decided to go further and improve the overall robustness of the system," the company said.
"We will therefore be initiating a second recall to replace the current soldered fuse resistor with a wax fuse resistor so reducing the opportunity for manipulation.
"When the recalls are complete, all vehicles will have a new wax fuse resistor, a new blower motor and a new moulding at the base of the windscreen to address water ingress.
"Again, this work will be conducted free of charge."
Last year, Vauxhall said it was taking "preventative action" after originally recalling the Zafira B.
The visitors were the better team in the first half, dominating possession against an under-par West Brom, but the hosts sprang back to form after the break.
Rondon's goals - all headers - came in a devastating 13-minute period early in the second half and highlighted the defensive frailties which have contributed to Swansea's poor season.
The visitors did reduce the deficit late on as Wayne Routledge finished a fine move started by substitutes Modou Barrow and Borja Baston, but it was mere consolation.
Victory for West Brom moves them to seventh, four points adrift of Manchester United in sixth, while Swansea remain in the relegation zone, three points from safety.
West Brom fans, accustomed to better at home this season from a team who had lost just three of their last 11 league games prior to this match, were clearly frustrated before the break as they watched the Baggies lose possession too easily.
But, despite being below their best, the hosts did engineer the best chances of the first half.
Rondon drew a fine save from Lukasz Fabianski, while Nacer Chadli thought he had headed home Chris Brunt's free-kick, only for the goal to be disallowed with Jonas Olsson deemed offside.
Those missed chances mattered little as the Baggies transformed their fortunes after the break by playing at high tempo and pressing with urgency.
They were also helped by a Swansea defence that repeatedly failed to deal with crosses into the box.
Rondon headed home Matt Phillips' inswinging free-kick to open the scoring and, 11 minutes later, was again unmarked as the £12m striker converted Brunt's deep cross towards the far post.
The Venezuelan completed his hat-trick in the 63rd minute, with Brunt again the provider as the striker found the top-right corner.
The 27-year-old becomes only the second player to score a hat-trick of headers in the Premier League, with former Everton striker Duncan Ferguson the only other to do so, against Bolton in 1997.
The visitors were the more assured and composed in possession in the first half, replicating the pattern of play which eased them to a 3-0 win over relegation rivals Sunderland on Saturday.
Bob Bradley's men enjoyed over 60% of possession in the opening 45 minutes, but did not truly test Ben Foster in West Brom's goal, which proved to be their downfall.
Indeed, the closest they came to scoring was through Brunt as the Baggies defender nearly swept Jefferson Montero's cross into his own net.
But the ease with which Swansea quickly crumbled after the break magnified the team's weakness - they have now conceded 15 goals in five league games away from home under manager Bradley.
The Welsh side, second best in the aerial duels, stood back as West Brom attacked and paid the price.
Bradley, who replaced Francesco Guidolin as manager on 3 October, admitted his team conceded the second "too quickly" and said Swansea need to "turn things around fast".
West Brom boss Tony Pulis: "We played 24 hours later [last weekend] than Swansea had and, in the first half, we looked laboured.
"I'm pleased for the group. I thought in the first 20 minutes of the second half - that's where the game was won and we played like we can play.
"We say a few things [at half-time] and sometimes you have to say a few things. It was more to do with the fact we had to step up. The main players in the team stepped it up, and that was the important for us. They were three fantastic headers. We're pleased for him and the group. We really had to dig deep and oil the engine."

Swansea boss Bob Bradley: "Defence is an area where we have to improve. If we could have kept in the game at 1-0, started to play some passes... but all too many times this season we give up the second goal all too quickly and that happened again.
"Even when you play well, you don't always take the lead. On both the second and third goals, we didn't move out very quickly, and they were allowed deep into the box.
"I thought the first half was solid. Now the key is being able to play for 90 minutes and handle different situations in the game."

The 25-year-old man turned on to the tracks on Wednesday night and became stuck trying to reverse, police say.
He managed to get out of the car before it was hit by the train which pushed the wreckage 15m along the tracks, causing lengthy commuter delays.
None of the 13 passengers on the train was injured.
A local resident told ABC News that it was not the first time such an incident had happened.
"His GPS has turned him left onto the railway lines," the resident said of the latest mishap. "It looks a lot like a road at night."
Australia has seen a number of GPS errors.
In 2012, police in the town of Mildura were reported to have warned motorists not to rely on satnavs to find the town because several people had instead navigated themselves into a remote national park.
March 2015: A group of Belgian tourists are sent on a detour of close to 1,200km (750 miles) after a GPS navigation error by their bus driver saw them arrive at La Plagne in the Pyrenees rather than La Plagne in the Tarentaise Valley
June 2013: A woman follows her GPS right into the path of an oncoming train in Belmont, US
January 2013: A woman leaves her home in Belgium intending to pick up a friend in Brussels, 144km (90 miles) away. After switching on her GPS, she ends up in Zagreb, Croatia.
March 2012: Japanese tourists drive a rental car into the Pacific Ocean as as they follow GPS instructions down a road toward Australia's North Stradbroke Island
May 2008: A group of travellers nearly plunge off a cliff to their deaths because of a GPS error as they were making a scenic drive from Bryce Canyon, in the US state of Utah, to the Grand Canyon in Arizona

Arrests were made under Operation Damson after an officer codenamed "John" set up a cafe in Salford as an intelligence-gathering base.
He used it to get to know criminals - some violent - dealing in drugs, guns, stolen goods and contraband alcohol.
Eleven men and two women were jailed at Manchester Crown Court on Thursday.
Tony Lloyd, Greater Manchester's interim mayor and police and crime commissioner, praised the "brave" undercover officer, who had "put himself at risk to bring these gangsters and gun-runners to justice".
"John" converted the cafe into a protein and supplement shop. His customers included 45-year-old Terence Hamer who boasted about his drug dealing and introduced him to other criminals.
He also frequented the former Unicorn Pub in Broughton, where he witnessed deals to buy and sell guns, bullets and drugs.
The officer, who had constructed an elaborate back story, himself was sold a shotgun, a pistol, a silencer and ammunition by a family of firearms dealers in Heywood.
Operation Damson, involving 200 officers, culminated in a day of arrests in September 2015, and 24 people were charged with offences.
Greater Manchester Police also seized seven firearms, heroin, cocaine, MDMA, amphetamines and cannabis worth more than £100,000 from properties across Salford.
Ch Supt Mary Doyle said: "The operation has removed seven guns from the streets of Salford and directly stopped countless further criminal acts occurring.
"To remove one gun from the streets is good news, to remove seven is immense."
Jail sentences totalling 135 years were handed down to the 13 people convicted.
They include:
A further six people are due to be sentenced later this month.

Government-funded research says women with a learning disability die 20 years younger on average than the general UK population and men 13 years younger.
"The life expectancy is horrifying," said Special Olympics GB chief executive Karen Wallin.
"That's unacceptable in a country meant to be in the forefront of healthcare."
It gave me more of a sense of believing in what I can do
An intellectual, or learning, disability is a term used for those with an IQ of 75 or less.
Special Olympics is the charity which organises year-round sport for these people and Wallin explained the challenges they are facing.
"The other statistic is that one in three people with learning difficulties are obese," she said.
"The reason they're dying younger is that they have preventable diseases that are not being caught early enough, but I don't think we've seen anything happen or any major impact of reducing the reduced life expectancy at the moment.
"So we are trying to address that."
This week the Copper Box Arena, a London 2012 venue, hosted an event where people with such a disability were given a chance to try sports for free.
Ian Harper has participated in a number of national and European events as a Special Olympics athlete - and, by his own admission, if he had not got involved he would probably still be sitting on the sofa.
"It gave me more confidence from the start and it gave me more of a sense of believing in what I can do," he said.
"Those who are not involved in Special Olympics , who don't know about Special Olympics, think their chances are limited.
"But if you get in there it changes your life completely and it feels you've got more opportunity."
Special Olympics GB is not funded by the lottery. It recently secured some treasury funding, which the charity says made a significant difference, but that money was a one-off payment.
At next year's national Special Olympics Games in Sheffield clubs will be asked to raise hundreds of pounds for each competitor they send to enable the event to happen.
"We are probably still one of the only countries in Europe that doesn't receive central funding or sport governing body funding to put on events or to go to world games," Wallin added.
"It puts a strain on the clubs it puts a strain on the head office to raise two million pounds.
"Our athletes and families are great at going out and talking to local communities but one in two people with learning disability live in poverty, so asking them to go out and fund raise to take part in something doesn't make sense."

In China, where unusual marriage proposals are widely shared and commented on, some gushed over the "romantic gesture of a lifetime" but others were sceptical.
"What a way to add pressure to her, having the entire world watch her as she makes such a private and life-changing decision," wrote Gu Jueyang on microblogging site Weibo.
"If she rejects his offer of marriage, she will be labelled a cruel person by billions around the world, watching. It may be masked as romantic but I feel otherwise."
One Weibo user even accused the couple of a cynical grab for celebrity status: "Publicity and timing - all essential to becoming China's new golden couple," he wrote.
Meanwhile on the BBC Facebook page, some users criticised "sexist" media coverage that they said focused more on the proposal than on Ms He's sporting achievement.
"People get married all the time, only a few have the chance to achieve Olympic glory. Or should the little lady be relieved a man will have her?" asked Zoe MacGechan.
London-based author Sunny Singh tweeted that the proposal revealed a sense of male entitlement.
She described it to the BBC as "a dick move, and definitely not romantic".
"It's a control mechanism, a way of saying 'You may just have won an Olympic medal, or be a CEO or have designed a spacecraft, but really the most important thing is you're my wife'," she said.
"Imagine if it was someone like Michael Phelps receiving a medal and a woman came up and proposed - people would laugh at her. When men experience success, women are expected to stand aside and cheer from the background."
Mr Qin had also taken advantage of what must already have been an emotional moment, Ms Singh said.
"You would also have to be extremely brave to say no at that point. You've won a medal, you're in public, you've worked your whole life for this. Even the best human being is likely to be emotionally shaky and vulnerable at such a moment. And women are taught from an early age to be nice and not to say no," she added.
Mr Qin's proposal was not the first to take place at the Rio Games - earlier Marjorie Enya entered the pitch after the first Women's Rugby Sevens Final between Australia and New Zealand and asked Brazilian player Isadora Cerullo to marry her.
But that was different, Ms Singh said, because it did not involve hijacking a medal ceremony.
However, others said Mr Qin had simply been "shouting his love from the rooftops" and there was nothing wrong with that.
Daisy Amodio, founder of proposal consultants The Proposers, said the move made sense because they were both athletes.
"For this couple it was all about the Olympics. They have been through four years of training, dedication and hard work so why not do it there? The reward for them afterwards is we've done this really amazing thing, let's get married. It's very special," she said.
Ms Amodio said proposing in public could be risky - and some do go spectacularly wrong - but not as risky as many might think.
"You need to be 100% sure that person is going to accept. However some girls are literally begging their boyfriends to propose. I was begging my boyfriend to propose for five years," she said.
About half the proposals arranged by Ms Amodio's company take place in public, she said, but demand has flattened off after growing for several years and many of those now planning to pop the question opt for a location with an amazing view rather than a big audience.
However Ms Amodio was unsurprised by delight shown by the crowd - if not by Ms He herself - when Mr Qin got down on bended knee.
"People like to see a happy story, particularly when there's so much doom and gloom in the news," she said.
Northampton back-rower Harrison, 23, was born in New Zealand and qualifies for England through his father.
Both players are hoping to impress ahead of summer tours, with Wales visiting world champions New Zealand and England in Australia.
"He is a very powerful ball-carrier, and he will test me," Moriarty said.
"I played against him in my first game for Gloucester Academy against Northampton.
"I came off the bench in the last 20 minutes of that game. It was my first experience of English rugby, and it was tough.
"He was one of their main players - a very powerful ball-carrier and tackler. He was here, there and everywhere, and he is still the same sort of player.
"I think I ran over him on a one-on-one. He may have been a bit more tired, while I was fresh off the bench, but it was a good night for me."
St Helens-born Moriarty, whose father Paul and uncle Richard both played for Wales, underlined his potential when he featured off the bench and scored two tries during Wales' Six Nations win against Italy in March.
In the absence of captain Sam Warburton and Justin Tipuric this weekend, Moriarty will link up with Dan Lydiate and Taulupe Faletau in the Welsh back row.
"This is going to be a good test for us on Sunday, going into the first Test with the All Blacks on 11 June," Moriarty added.
"We are going to try to play at the intensity that we will need against New Zealand, so it's a good opportunity to test ourselves.
"It is really competitive in the back-row. Even without Justin Tipuric here, we have three British and Irish Lions Test back-rowers [including Warburton].
"It is hard to break a mould that has been there for a few years, but it's great for me to learn off them, watch how they train and pick up little things off each of them to make me a better player.
"Toby [Faletau] is one of the best, if not the best, number eights in the world, and he is only 25 years old.
"It's nice to be able to train with him, watch what he does and try to replicate some of the things he does and add to my game."
Jobs Growth Wales has created more than 13,000 opportunities for 16 to 24-year-olds since it was launched in 2012.
Ministers say 82% taken on by private firms move into apprenticeships, more learning or jobs.
But the Conservatives said more needed to be done for job creation and entrepreneurship on a wider scale.
Jobs Growth Wales aims to create 4,000 temporary job opportunities a year but latest figures show this target has already been beaten a year early.
It covers the cost of a minimum wage salary and the employer's National Insurance contribution.
Just under 10,000 of those 13,000 jobs have been filled but ministers say the gap is because the recruitment process is still ongoing.
Ministers added the programme was "clearly reaping huge rewards" and £12.5m is to be spent in offering 4,000 more temporary jobs from 2015.
Jobs Growth Wales
First Minister Carwyn Jones, who is publishing the latest Programme for Government report, which tracks performance on key issues such as employment, health, education and communities, said the figures were "outstanding".
Hydratech-Evans Coolants, who make specialist fluids and antifreezes in Swansea, have taken on 10 young people over the last two years - six have become apprentices, two have gone onto higher education and another two are still with the programme.
Most had no skills when they arrived and the company said it had helped them with affordable recruitment and also build a sense of loyalty to the firm.
Steve Hickson, managing director said it had been "invaluable".
He added: "We've been able to give local youngsters access to credible work experience where they have had a chance to learn, develop new skills and earn a wage."
William Graham AM, Conservative Shadow Minister for Business, said: "While Jobs Growth Wales has created opportunities for some young people, it is disappointing that Labour ministers have failed to support job creation and entrepreneurship more generally by cutting business rates and red tape which are barriers to business start-ups.
"We need to start promoting entrepreneurship as a rewarding career in schools and empower people to make that a reality, making their own money, creating jobs and making Wales a more prosperous nation."
The site says the move was in response to new Mozilla chief executive Brendan Eich's previous opposition to gay marriage in the US state of California.
Users are directed to use other internet browsers, such as Chrome.
Mozilla said OKCupid had not contacted it to confirm facts, and that: "Mozilla supports equality for all, including marriage equality for LGBT couples."
Visitors to OKCupid's website using Mozilla's free Firefox browser see a message that reads: "Mozilla's new CEO, Brendan Eich, is an opponent of equal rights for gay couples.
"We would therefore prefer that our users not use Mozilla software to access OKCupid."
However, it is still possible to access OKCupid's site via Firefox, if users click through the message.
Ok Cupid is owned by media conglomerate IAC/InterActive Corp, which owns 50 brands across 40 countries.
These include other major dating sites, like Match.com, as well as news website the Daily Beast and web properties like Dictionary.com.
Mr Eich, who is the inventor of JavaScript, was appointed to lead the open-source browser firm on 24 March.
He is listed publicly as having donated to a campaign in support of California's Proposition 8 campaign in 2008, which had sought to ban gay marriage in the western US state.
Although it was initially passed, it was later overturned by a district court judge in 2010.
After Mr Eich's appointment was announced, supporters of same-sex marriage in the US, including many Mozilla employees, expressed unease at the decision.
Mozilla's head of education, Christie Koehler, who is gay, wrote on her blog: "It's hard for me to think of a scenario where someone could donate to that campaign without feeling that queer folks are less deserving of basic rights."
However, she added that while she was personally disappointed, she said she did not think it would affect her work at Mozilla.
Mr Eich responded in a post, saying that he remained committed to openness in the work place and offering assurances that Mozilla would not change certain policies, like health insurance for the partners of gay employees.
"I am committed to ensuring that Mozilla is, and will remain, a place that includes and supports everyone, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, age, race, ethnicity, economic status, or religion," he wrote.
John Cameron, 46, was found dead at a property in Stonebank Grove, in the Castlemilk area of Glasgow, at about 14:15 on Friday.

The arrested man is expected to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court later.
Broadcaster ARD alleges an unnamed member of the IAAF's medical commission had a list of cases from 2006 to 2008 that were not investigated.
According to the IAAF official, the samples were "highly suspicious".
It is alleged many came from Russia, but at least one was from a Briton.
Others came from Kenya, Germany, Spain and Morocco.
The British athlete cannot be named for legal reasons and both British Athletics and UK Anti-Doping have declined to comment.
ARD has already alleged there is systematic doping in Russian athletics and implicated the IAAF in covering up the problem.
Media playback is not supported on this device
The BBC has not independently verified any of the claims but the Russian Athletics Federation has called them "lies".
The IAAF said the contents of the documentary would be looked into by its Ethics Commission, which is already investigating earlier ARD claims.
But it stressed: "A member of the IAAF Medical and Anti-Doping Commission would not know whether follow-up tests would have been conducted or not."
It also pointed out that its athlete biological passport scheme was only launched in 2009 and blood samples collected before this date "do not have the same level of reliability and strength as the post-2009 values which were collected under strict and stringent conditions".
It added pre-2009 samples were only used as "secondary evidence", or to trigger follow-up urine tests "whenever possible logistically".
However the latest claims will add weight to Lord Coe's campaign for the IAAF's anti-doping system to be completely independent in terms of testing and sanctions.
Coe, who is running for the IAAF presidency, has made the establishment of an independent doping body a key part of his manifesto.
"There is a disproportionate amount of reputational damage being caused by a small number of countries," he said.
"This is not endemic across the world of athletics.
"Independent testing and sanctioning would take some of the pressure off member federations and cut through any potential for conflict.
"We have to get this right. This is the time to really push for a wholly independent arm to our testing procedures."
Dick Pound, the former president of the World Anti-Doping Agency, dismissed Coe's call for independent testing as "too expensive" and argued that Russia needed to sort out its own "problem".
However, Pound, who has not seen the evidence himself, admitted the allegations were "quite serious".
He added: "There seems to be at least some evidence to support them so clearly we have a problem and Russia may have a problem."
Jersey Heritage Trust Conservator Neil Maher has spent the past year creating a model of the one tonne mound of silver and copper coins, gold pieces and mud.
He said: "This is the world's biggest Celtic coin hoard ever, this was a significant part of a tribe's wealth.
"It is also one of the world's biggest coin hoards and certainly the biggest coin hoard found in Britain."
Work to separate and uncover the secrets of the hoard has been delayed while Mr Mahrer works on other projects and details are agreed over long term conservation plans.
A large mound containing about 70,000 coins was discovered last year by two metal detector enthusiasts.
Reg Mead and Richard Miles began their hunt after a woman told them her father had found coins in a field some years before.
After the initial work looking at the surface of the mound taken from the ground in Jersey, Mr Mahrer started the process of replicating the object.
He said: "You mix silicon rubbers up, pour them on to the hoard and it will set on there. It then records in fine details so you can use copies for microscopic work.
"It was quit scary as I told people it would be fine, there would be no damage. I had used the technique on smaller things so was really pleased it worked out well."
When decisions are made over who has responsibility for conservation, Mr Mahrer said the work would begin to separate and catalogue every item contained in the hoard.
"Because we knew the process we want to do on the real hoard involves taking apart coin by coin by coin, we knew we would lose the original appearance.
"We thought that was important because, not only is it a pretty thing, but there might be important information in its size and shape in the future," he said.
The process of making a replica revealed a number of surprises according to Mr Mahrer.
He said: "It was a bit of a bonus if slightly embarrassing, one small part of the side collapsed more than I hoped and we lost two or three coins from a small area on one side.
"Completely by chance in there we found a small gold coin and it is the first gold one we have found.
"There are about 70,000 coins in the hoard but all the ones we have found so far are a mixture of silver and copper.
"Of the ones which fell out one was a small thick gold one which is about 100 years older than the rest of the coins."
He said they had uncovered about 1% of the coins so far and five gold items had been uncovered.
"As this one about three or four coin depths fell out it leads to the question 'what else is in there'. We have only scraped the surface and we have already found five gold objects," he said.
Mr Mahrer said if they continued finding gold on that ratio, it could push up the value of the hoard.
"One gold coin on its own wouldn't add much to the value, a few hundred pounds, but if we get in and find more then who knows?"
He added: "We deliberately haven't removed any coins from the hoard yet, we are still waiting for various permissions over who owns the hoard and funding before we take it apart."
The value of the hoard was estimated at up to £10m when it was first removed from the ground.
Work is now under way to prepare the coins already uncovered, and the replica made by Mr Mahrer, for an exhibition at Jersey Museum next year.
The last time it went on display in 2012 the number of visitors to the museum trebled.

Matthew Williams was found attacking Cerys Yemm, 22, at the Sirhowy Arms Hotel, Argoed, on 6 November 2014.
Williams, 34, was Tasered by police who arrested him and he later died.
Gwent Coroner's Court in Newport also heard there were bites on Miss Yemm's body and cuts that could have been caused by a broken ceramic cereal bowl.
Michael Rees, a South Wales Police armourer, examined Tasers used by all officers involved in trying to arrest Williams.
He told the inquest only one had been used, it was partially covered in blood and had been activated four times during the incident.
It was used at 01:37:11 and then at 01:44:14, 01:44:28 and 01:44:41.
Forensic scientist Gillian O'Boyle examined the scene and said it contained 15 pieces of broken crockery that fitted together to form an almost complete cereal bowl.
Most of these had blood on them, with DNA analysis showing it belonged to Miss Yemm and Williams.
She concluded: "The pattern of the blood was as if the bowl had been used to hit an individual and had broken as part of this", but said she could not say who had been holding it.
There were also cuts in Miss Yemm's clothing, that could have been caused by a sharp-edged item, such as a ceramic piece, Ms O'Boyle added.
Forensic dentist Romina Carabott concluded that three bite marks on Miss Yemm's abdomen and another on her wrist were probably all caused by Williams.
Williams, released from prison two weeks before the incident, was found to have 12.2 grams of class B mephedrone, 9.9 grams of mephedrone mixed with monosodium glutamate and 1.02 grams of amphetamine sulphate mixed with caffeine.
Forensic pathologist Dr Richard Jones, who carried out Miss Yemm's post mortem examination, told the inquest he found 24 areas of injury across her body with at least 89 separate injures.
Half of the injuries were to her head, and Dr Jones said the cause of death was given as "sharp force trauma to the face and neck".
He added that bite marks had no bearing on her death, nor did traces of amphetamines and cannabis in her body.
The inquest continues.
The UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) said a village in the Mawza district of Taiz province was hit on Tuesday afternoon.
Most of those killed are believed to have been from the same family.
There was no immediate comment from the coalition, which is backing President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi's government in a war with the rebel Houthi movement.
More than 8,160 people have been killed and 46,300 injured in air strikes and fighting on the ground in Yemen since March 2015, according to the UN.
The conflict has also left 20.7 million people in need of some kind of humanitarian assistance, created the largest food security emergency in the world, and led to a cholera outbreak that is believed to have affected 330,000 people since April.
The UNHCR said it was "deeply shocked and saddened" by the reports of civilian deaths and injuries following Tuesday's air strike on the village of al-Atera.
The people killed in the incident are reported to have been displaced from nearby Mokha district, where coalition-backed ground forces are involved in a major offensive aimed at driving rebel fighters from Yemen's Red Sea coastline.
Yemen's internationally-recognised government confirmed the death toll, Reuters news agency reported. It also quoted the Minister for Human Rights, Mohammed Askar, as calling for an investigation into the "unfortunate incident".
Houthi spokesman Mohammed Abdul Salam condemned the "monstrous crime".
Taiz province is home to about 15% of Yemen's 2 million internally displaced people (IDPs), more than 500,000 of whom originate from the province.
"This latest incident once again demonstrates the extreme dangers facing civilians in Yemen, particularly those attempting to flee violence, as they disproportionately bear the brunt of conflict," the UNHCR said.
The Saudi-led coalition says it does not target civilians, but human rights groups have accused it of bombing schools, hospitals, markets and residential areas.
Mr Moon favours greater dialogue with North Korea, in a change to current South Korean policy.
"I will be president for all South Koreans," he told cheering supporters in Gwanghwamun Square in the capital Seoul.
The early election was called after a corruption scandal led to the impeachment of the former president.
Park Geun-hye is accused of allowing a close friend to extort money from companies. She denies all wrongdoing.
With 80% of the votes counted, Mr Moon was ahead with 40% of the total, the National Election Commission said.
His conservative challenger, former prosecutor Hong Joon-pyo, was next with 25.5% followed by centrist candidate Ahn Cheol-soo on 21.4%.
Mr Moon is expected to be sworn in on Wednesday.
A Moon Jae-in presidency would represent a real shift in attitude towards North Korea. His policy is to increase contact with North Korea, in contrast to the tighter sanctions of the last ten years. He is unhappy about the deployment of a US anti-missile system on South Korean soil.
When Mr Moon was last in government, in the early 2000s, South Korea had a "Sunshine Policy" which meant co-operation with North Korea, a policy which was abandoned as North Korea tested nuclear weapons.
As policy in South Korea looks like shifting, many sceptics remain who think that no amount of talking to Kim Jong-un will persuade him to renounce either his despotic power or his nuclear ambitions.
For the last eight years, Seoul and Washington have been in lock-step over North Korea, with ever tighter sanctions and isolation. That is not Mr Moon's way. Is it Donald Trump's?
The son of refugees from North Korea, Mr Moon was jailed while a student in the 1970s for leading protests against military ruler Park Chung-hee - Ms Park's father.
Later, he served in South Korea's special forces before becoming a human rights lawyer.
He served as a senior aide to liberal President Roh Moo-hyun, who committed suicide in 2009 after leaving office amid bribery allegations.
Mr Moon, of the centre-left Democratic Party, unsuccessfully ran against Ms Park in 2012 elections.
He has positioned himself as the man who can move the country on from the scandals of Ms Park's era.
"I feel that not only my party and myself but also the people have been more desperate for a change of government," he said while casting his vote.
Mr Moon has advocated greater dialogue with the North while maintaining pressure and sanctions, in contrast to Ms Park who cut almost all ties.
He has been critical of the two previous conservative administrations for failing to stop North Korea's weapons development.
But while tensions on the Korean peninsula ensured the election was closely watched, for South Koreans the priority has been corruption and the economy, with youth unemployment stubbornly high.
Mr Moon has talked of reforming South Korea's huge family-run conglomerates, known as chaebols, which dominate the domestic economy.
Spector, 30, who was Blues' longest-serving player, making 179 appearances after signing from West Ham in 2011, mutually agreed to cancel his contract.
Fabbrini's loan spell runs until June, with a view to a permanent deal.
The 26-year-old had a loan spell with Blues in the 2014-15 season and signed for £1.5m from Watford in January 2016.
"I am a little bit disappointed and sad that Jonathan Spector will be leaving us," manager Gianfranco Zola said.
"He's going to go home and I wish him all the best."

A row has broken out after Mark Reckless joined the Conservatives, despite rules stating only party members can be in the assembly group.
It caused Monmouth AM Nick Ramsay to ask: "Am I a member of a Welsh Conservative group or am I a member of some kind of hybrid independent group?"
Welsh leader Andrew RT Davies said the constitution had not been suspended.
Mr Reckless defected from the Conservatives as Rochester and Strood MP in 2014. He became the UKIP AM for South Wales East in May 2016 but quit UKIP on Thursday to rejoin the Tories.
Speaking on BBC Radio Wales' Sunday Supplement programme, Mr Ramsay said: "It has raised as many questions as it has answered and from my point of view, I think we need clarification on this because I think confusion will otherwise arise.
"We now have a member in the Conservative group who is not a member of the party - now that is a strange situation."
Contradicting what his party leader earlier insisted, Mr Ramsay said the party's constitution "had to have been suspended in some shape or manner".
He also said a Wales Office minister would not be willing to meet with the Welsh Conservative group with Mr Reckless in it.
A UK Conservatives source has told BBC Wales that Tory AMs had put their positions "in jeopardy" by allowing Mr Reckless to join them.
Earlier this week, Mr Davies said there was "unanimous agreement" among his group "that Mark was a fit and proper person to vote with and work with the Conservative group in the assembly".
He added: "I accept some MPs, because of historical arrangements and historical actions by Mark, feel aggrieved by Mark's actions, but he has not applied to join the party."
However, two senior grassroots Tories in South Wales East also told BBC Wales they were happy with the decision to bring Mr Reckless into the group.
Mr Ramsay also raised concerns about the impact this would have on the party at the polls: "Are we a Welsh Conservative group that can go into a future assembly election and campaign on one united platform? Clearly that is not the case."
A number of Welsh Conservative MPs have criticised the decision to allow Mark Reckless into the Tory fold at the assembly, but this is the first time someone within the group has done so.
Nick Ramsay believes the Conservative group in Cardiff Bay will not be able campaign in unity in future or discuss confidential party matters with the new member.
There has been nothing official from Andrew RT Davies, but his supporters have questioned why Mr Ramsay did not make his concerns more apparent at the time.
This story has thrown up a strange mix of the ins and outs of the party rulebook and old-fashioned Tory tribal antagonism towards Mark Reckless, because of his defection two years ago.
Senior Conservatives at Westminster do not want a high-profile row with party colleagues in Cardiff, and that is why they are not speaking publicly now.
But behind the scenes, they hold the view that Andrew RT Davies has entirely misjudged the mood of the party if he thinks he can make this work. | A lap dancing club which allegedly drugged customers and took more than £90,000 in credit card overpayments has had its alcohol licence revoked.

Cottingley Village Primary said in a letter to parents budget pressures left it needing to look at cost cutting without reducing staff.
Parent Anne Villien said the move would cause childcare problems for many.
The three main political parties have pledged more money for schools as head teachers around the country deal with rising costs pressures.
The letter, sent out by head teacher Nichola Geale, urges parents to have their say on the proposals.
It states: "We believe that changing the school day would both save the school a lot of money and also allow us to improve teaching and learning."
It said the change could involve school starting earlier, from 08:30 or 08:40, instead of the existing time of 08:55 and finish "Friday at lunchtime for all pupils".
The letter goes on to say staff would remain in school on Friday afternoon for preparation, planning and assessment time.
It adds: "At the moment, this is done during the week which interrupts learning and also costs the school as we have to pay for other teachers to be in classes".
The school has proposed to bring in the change from September.
Ms Villien, whose daughter attends Cottingley, said: "It is a such a fantastic school and it's disgusting that financial pressures are meaning it has to consider something like this.
"It means a lot of parents are going to have to look for childcare, which is not easy to find for the odd few hours. It's scary to think that this is the way many schools could be forced to deal with budget constraints."
Neither the school or Bradford City Council would comment on the proposals. | A primary school in Bradford is considering changing to a four-and-a-half day week in a bid to save money. | 40,185,958 | 350 | 29 | false |
Officers are understood to be examining whether the British comedian committed a criminal offence under the Defamation Act when he appeared on RTE in 2015.
Fry had asked why he should "respect a capricious, mean-minded, stupid god who creates a world.... full of injustice".
He later said he was not "offensive towards any particular religion".
According to a report in the Irish Independent newspaper, no publicised cases of blasphemy have been brought before the courts since the law was introduced in 2009 and a source said it was "highly unlikely" that a prosecution against Fry would take place.
Appearing on The Meaning of Life, hosted by Gay Byrne, in February 2015, Fry had been asked what he might say to God at the gates of heaven.
Fry said: "How dare you create a world in which there is such misery? It's not our fault? It's not right. It's utterly, utterly evil. Why should I respect a capricious, mean-minded, stupid god who creates a world which is so full of injustice and pain?"
He went on to say that Greek gods "didn't present themselves as being all seeing, all wise, all beneficent", adding "the god who created this universe, if it was created by god, is quite clearly a maniac, an utter maniac, totally selfish".
The Irish Independent reported a member of the public made a complaint to police in Ennis in the same month the programme was broadcast. He was recently contacted by a detective to say they were looking into his complaint.
The viewer was not said to be offended himself but believed Fry's comments qualified as blasphemy under the law, which carries a maximum penalty of a fine of 25,000 euros (£22,000).
The law prohibits people from publishing or uttering "matter that is grossly abusive or insulting in relation to matters held sacred by any religion, thereby causing outrage among a substantial number of the adherents of that religion".
The government said at the time it was needed because the republic's 1937 constitution only gives Christians legal protection of their beliefs.
Fry's representatives have been contacted for a comment.
Speaking to the BBC in 2015, Fry said he had been "absolutely astonished" by some of the reaction on social media to what he had said on the show.
He said: "I don't think I mentioned once any particular religion and I certainly didn't intend, and in fact I know I didn't say anything offensive towards any particular religion."
A police spokeswoman told the BBC: "We are not commenting on an ongoing investigation."
The win moved Barnsley level on points with sixth-placed Gillingham.
Posh were reduced to 10 men when Chris Forrester picked up two bookings in the space of 20 first-half seconds.
Ben Alnwick looked to have denied the hosts the win with a string of fine saves before Williams nodded in Adam Hammill's cross with seconds to go.
The Scots were among soldiers, sailors and airmen from all over the UK who stopped at Peterborough East Railway Station during 1916 and 1917.
They left messages, poems and drawings in two visitor books at the tea stall.
Peterborough Archives Service has found details on many of them, but has appealed for help with others.
The appeal for information forms a three-year history project.
Armed forces personnel travelled through the railway station on their way to and from the frontline.
Some of the servicemen only wrote their initials next to their messages at the stall which was run by the Women's United Total Abstinence Council.
Those who left their initials but not their full name was a Sergeant JEH of the Gordon Highlanders.
He also left a short poem that read: "'Off with a Draft at last. After eighteen months hard work, And should another War draw nigh, I'll never join the 2nd Line."
Information has already been found on Scottish servicemen who signed the book, including Linlithgow-born George A Browse, a warrant officer second class with the Seaforth Highlanders.
He was awarded the Military Cross for gallantry during the Battle of Arras in 1917.
After the war, he settled in Elgin in Moray and played for the football team Elgin United. He was also the model for the town's New Elgin War Memorial.
Zhukov - who has never been personally implicated any wrongdoing - told president Vladimir Putin on Tuesday that he wished to focus on his position as first deputy speaker instead.
"This is without doubt the right thing, we support it completely," Putin said.
"Zhukov has done a lot for sport and, I hope, will do more still."
The former deputy prime minister was also chairman of the organising committee for the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympic Games, where widespread evidence of tampered drugs test samples has been discovered.
No connection has been made between Zhukov's departure and the Russian doping scandal, which resulted in the ban of 108 Russians from the Olympics and a complete exclusion of Russia's 267 competitors from the Paralympics.
The McLaren report, which was commissioned by the World Anti-Doping Agency, concluded that Russia had run a state-sponsored doping programme which involved not only providing performance-enhancing drugs to athletes, but also the cover-up of positive doping tests.
The report outlines how a hole in the wall at the Sochi Winter Olympics testing laboratory was used to smuggle positive samples out in order to replace them with clean ones.
According to McLaren's findings, the state-sponsored doping programme has been in place since 2011, just prior to the London Olympic Games.
Six world powers and Iran are reported to have drawn up a 100-page document detailing curbs to Iran's nuclear activity and sanctions relief.
The sides have held multiple rounds of talks to try to end the 13-year crisis.
The world powers suspect Iran of seeking to develop nuclear weapons - something it strongly denies.
Unnamed diplomats at the talks told the Associated Press news agency that negotiators planned to announce on Monday that they had reached a final accord.
The BBC's James Robbins in Vienna says the text of the document is long and the language apparently very precise, to minimise the risk either side can question later the commitments they have made.
Negotiators at the talks between the so-called P5+1 - the US, UK, France, Russia, China plus Germany - and Iran have been struggling over the issues of international inspections of Iran's non-nuclear sites, verification of Iranian compliance, and the pace of sanctions relief.
Officials from the two sides expressed cautious optimism on Sunday that they were close to a deal.
US Secretary of State John Kerry said "a few tough things'' needed to be resolved but added: "We're getting to some real decisions."
French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius, who cancelled a trip to Africa to stay at the talks, said: "I hope we are finally entering the final phase of these marathon negotiations. I believe it."
In Iran, President Hassan Rouhani said the sides had "come a long way". "We need to reach a peak and we're very close," the Isna news agency quoted him as saying.
If a long-term agreement is reached, it still faces a tough ride through the US Congress, which could reject it and leave US sanctions against Iran in place.
Mitch McConnell, the top Republican in the Senate, told Fox News Sunday: "I think it's going to be a very hard sell... We already know it's going to leave Iran as a threshold nuclear state."
A deal is also strongly opposed by the two main US allies in the Middle East, Israel and Saudi Arabia, who feel threatened by Iran.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday accused the P5+1 of "caving in" to Iran. It followed comments by Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who said the fight against US "arrogance" would continue regardless of the outcome of the talks.
Carbon emissions from air-conditioning are expected to soar as temperatures climb and people become richer.
But at a global mayors summit, Paris is showcasing a simple technology using water piped from the Seine to cool apartments near the Champs Elysees.
London Mayor Boris Johnson said he wanted London to follow suit by cooling buildings using water from the Thames.
"I don't like to admit it - but the French are ahead of us on this," he confessed.
The system works by taking water from the river and piping it round people's homes like ordinary piped water air conditioning. In summer a heat pump is used to make the water even cooler by employing technology similar to a fridge.
The mayors meeting in Paris City Hall is timed to coincide with the UN climate summit. It brings together half of the 80 mega-city mayors who are working together to tackle climate change.
The chairman of the group, Eduardo Paes, Mayor of Rio, said the mayors represented 600m people and a quarter of the global economy.
"We can be very effective," he said. "Sometimes governments move slowly - we can often move more quickly."
The mayors said they had learned from each other to spread green solutions round the world. They claim to have collectively made 10,000 climate initiatives since 2009.
They spoke about their favourite initiatives:
Boris Johnson's team said since the Mayor was elected in 2008, carbon emissions in London were down by 14%, even though population had swelled.
He said a major preoccupation was to find ways of finding a low-carbon way to provide the heating and cooling from natural gas, which made up nearly 50% of the city's emissions.
Darren Johnson, Green member for the London Assembly, told BBC News: "On the whole Boris Johnson has been a real disappointment. He has expressed climate sceptic views and failed to meet most of the targets in his (climate) strategies."
The global commission advised by Lord Stern concluded recently that climate change could only be tackled if new cities to house a burgeoning population could be planned less like Los Angeles and more like Paris.

They have said they want to honour "the most charismatic actor of his generation" whose "dazzling talent" means he belongs "in the pantheon of legendary actors".
Clooney will be bestowed with the Honorary Cesar Award from the Academie des Arts et Techniques du Cinema later this month at the French equivalent of the Oscars.
The Academie said it had chosen the Ocean's Eleven and Gravity star because of his "dazzling talent as an actor, director, scriptwriter and producer - and above all, his artistic and spiritual generosity".
He "embodies Hollywood glamour", their effusive statement went on, adding: "His charm, humour, personality and engagement stand at the heart of our perpetual and eternal admiration."
And they predicted that Clooney's name "will forever be inscribed in the pantheon of legendary actors".
That should be enough to make sure he turns up to the Cesar Awards ceremony in Paris on 24 February.
Others to have won the honorary Cesar in the past include Scarlett Johansson, Quentin Tarantino, Kate Winslet and Michael Douglas.

It confirms that farming spread across Europe due to the influx of ancient people from what is now eastern Turkey.
Many modern Europeans owe their taller stature to these early farmers - and a later influx of Bronze Age "horsemen" - say international researchers.
In the study, researchers mapped the genes of 273 ancient people who lived in West Europe and Asia from about 8,500 to 2,500 years ago.
Of these, 26 were part of a population that gave rise to Europe's first farmers.
Prof Ron Pinhasi of the School of Archaeology at University College Dublin, a lead researcher on the study, said: "We now have the first clear evidence that agriculture in Europe started with the first farmers coming from what is now Turkey.
"This is very exciting because there's been a dispute for the last 40 years over whether that's the case or not.
"Some have argued that it was diffusion of ideas but not of people. We now have the evidence that it was actually movement of people."
The study, published in the journal, Nature, adds to growing evidence that two events in prehistoric times have had a big impact on the genetic make-up of modern Europeans.
The first was the arrival of an ancestral "tribe" of early farmers from Anatolia around 8,500 years ago.
The later arrival of a tribe of ancient "horsemen" in Bronze Age times also shaped the genes of modern Europeans.
Both had an influence on the way genes for skin colour, eye colour and susceptibility to various diseases were shaped in prehistoric times.
Two populations appear to have had an impact on the height of Europeans - early farmers and horse-riding herders called the Yamnaya who entered Europe from the eastern Steppe region - in present day Ukraine and Russia - about 5,000 years ago.
Prof Pinhasi told BBC News. "Early farmers were already tall when they came into Europe.
"Part of the modern day higher stature - for example in Northern Central Europe - has its origins in the first farmers coming from Turkey into Europe."
Most modern Europeans have a genetic make-up that suggests they are descended from three ancient "tribes" - western hunter gatherers, early European farmers and "horsemen" known as the Yamnaya.
The first layer of European ancestry, the hunter-gatherers, entered Europe before the Ice Age 40,000 years ago.
But 7,000 years ago, they were swept up in a migration of people from the Middle East, who introduced farming to Europe, followed 2,000 years later by the Yamnaya.
Eppie Jones of Trinity College Dublin, co- researcher on the study, said: "This paper is taking our journey back in time ever further.
"It is looking at our genes and how the interactions and innovations through history have shaped who Europeans are today."
It made an operating profit of £107m was made last year.
The firm said out-sourcing "certain activities" to sister sites in Mexico and Morocco would help continued efforts to improve competitiveness and profitability.
The company is mid-way through a five-year global savings plan.
Almost 1,100 jobs have been axed at its Northern Ireland operations, as the Canadian-owned company battled to turnaround fortunes primarily down to issues in its CSeries aircraft programme.
The wings for the aircraft are manufactured in Belfast.
The company accounts reported "excellent progress" on the CSeries, which now has more than 300 orders.
In 2015, Bombardier, which trades as Short Brothers PLC in Northern Ireland, reported an operating loss of £225.
The 26-year-old has signed a three-and-a-half year contract with the team from Konya who sit seventh in the country's Super Lig.
Douglas told the club website: "I'm very excited, very happy. I have opened a new chapter in my career."
He said his goal was to help his new side qualify for the Europa League.
Douglas helped Lech win the Polish title for a seventh time last season, but they presently lie sixth in the Ekstraklasa.
Konyaspor manager Omar Korkmaz Metropolitan said he hoped the Scot would force his way into the side by continuing the form he showed with the Poles.
Douglas began his career with Queen's Park and moved to United in the Scottish top flight in 2010.
He switched to Poland after three years at Tannadice.
The finding bolsters the theory that the plane, which disappeared on 8 March last year after taking off from Kuala Lumpur, crashed into the Indian Ocean after diverting from its route to Beijing.
French investigators say there are further checks to do, while Australia says its underwater search will go on.
But for some relatives, this is the first step to closure.
Sarah Bajc whose partner was on MH370, told the BBC: "Perhaps families will finally have the chance to grieve now, though this doesn't solve the mystery or hold anyone accountable. Both of those things still have to happen."
She added that there was still "much outstanding mistrust" of the authorities. "It hurts to have to give up that last thread of hope, but there is also a sad relief," she said.
They are now hoping for more concrete proof.
Jacquita Gonzales, the wife of a MH370 flight attendant, told Reuters: "They still need to find the whole plane and our spouses as well. We still want them back."
Lee Khim Fatt, whose wife was a flight attendant on MH370, told the BBC: "I'm not convinced by the finding. I want to see an item that I can recognise."
"The finding of debris does not mean the finding of our next of kin," said Jiang Hui, who lost his mother, to AP news agency.
"I'm numb, I'm not sad," said Melanie Antonio in Kuala Lumpur, whose husband was on the plane.
"It's just a flaperon, it doesn't prove anything. We still need the wreckage to prove. I just want anything that can tell me my hubby is gone.''
Some, like Zhang Yongli in China, continue to believe there has been a cover-up.
He was among a dozen grieving relatives who gathered outside the Beijing office of Malaysia Airlines on Thursday. They demanded information and a visa to travel to Reunion, reported Reuters.
"I don't believe this latest information about the plane, they have been lying to us from the beginning," said Mr Zhang.
"I know my daughter is out there, but they won't tell us the truth."
Some of the relatives have been angered by the difference in Malaysian authorities and French investigators' responses.
Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak had earlier said that investigators had "conclusively confirmed" the debris was from MH370.
But shortly afterwards the Paris prosecutor Serge Mackowiak sounded a note of caution, and would only say it was a "very high probability".
Sara Weeks, whose brother was onboard the flight, told AP news agency: "Why the hell do you have one confirm and one not? Why not wait and get everybody on the same page so the families don't need to go through this turmoil.''
Relatives were similarly angered by the Malaysian response last year.
About two weeks after the plane disappeared, Mr Najib announced it had crashed into the ocean based on satellite data, while Malaysia Airlines informed relatives by text message.
This prompted criticism from relatives that the authorities were too hasty in making that conclusion, as they had yet to find any wreckage or debris, and were acting with insufficient sensitivity.

Five-time champion O'Sullivan looked to be in desperate trouble at 12-9, but hit breaks of 124, 88 and 63 to level.
World number 11 Hawkins fluffed his first chance in the decider.
But, after O'Sullivan carelessly went in off, Hawkins wrapped up the win and will play Marco Fu in the last eight.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Until this Crucible decider, Hawkins, who went into the final session leading 9-7, had not beaten O'Sullivan in 10 matches over 14 years.
His sole victory came in their first meeting in 2002.
But Hawkins showed commendable nerve to hold off an opponent who scored four tons and eight fifties in a performance full of devastating long potting and astonishing break-building.
"He makes it look so effortless sometimes," said Hawkins, the only player to have reached the semi-finals in the past three seasons.
"It winds me up to be honest. There's me twitching about and he's flowing.
"I don't know what he thought of his performance, but overall I thought he played really well.
"I am pleased with the way I held myself together because it was the most pressure I have ever been under. It was never in doubt!"

O'Sullivan said playing a tense final frame counted against him and also apologised for his media no-show after his first-round win over Dave Gilbert.
"For various reasons, I wasn't in a fit state to really come and speak to you guys," he said.
"It wasn't that I was being arrogant or thinking I'm shirking my responsibilities."
As for the final-frame loss to Hawkins, he said: "If it hadn't been that type of scrappy frame, I would have fancied my chances.
"When a frame goes like that, it's a toss of a coin.
"I'm a bit ring rusty. If there was a weakness in my game, it was definitely on the tactical side because I haven't played a lot really."

On the other table, four-time world champion John Higgins secured his 11th Crucible quarter-final appearance but only his first since he won the tournament in 2011.
Resuming 10-6 ahead, the 40-year-old Scot capitalised on an error-strewn first frame by Walden to stretch his lead to five frames.
Although the ninth seed won the next two with breaks of 62 and 84, Higgins knocked in successive 90 breaks to win 13-8 and set up a meeting with fellow Scot Alan McManus.
Higgins, who has won the title on the three occasions he has made the quarter-finals, said: "Ricky didn't play at his best but I'm just delighted to get through.
"It will be great to play one of my best mates on tour."

The 11-year-old Brazilian twins have just finished the school year but before they can set out on their dream careers they have to overcome some hurdles in their education.
They have missed countless schooldays this year because of frequent shoot-outs in their area.
And they are not alone.
According to the city hall education office, 129,000 students in Rio de Janeiro had classes cancelled at least once between January and October because of outbreaks of violence in the 300 or so public schools located in violent areas of the city.
The twins live in Complexo da Mare, a sprawling poor area of Rio wracked by gang violence.
"When there are shoot-outs we can't go to school," says Samir in the small house he shares with his mother, grandmother and two sisters.
"So we stop studying and stay home. What can we do?"
On other days, they were stuck at school while shots rang out around them.
The outbreaks of violence in Mare were so frequent this year that the local authorities shortened the school day to lessen the risk of students being caught in crossfire between gangs and the police.
Classes now start at 08:00 rather than at 07:15, and finish at 11:30.
"Seven AM is critical because police change their shifts, so that's when the shooting starts," explains Glauce Arzua, campaigns coordinator at ActionAid, a non-governmental organisation which works with local organisations to defend residents' rights.
But the new timetable means that students miss 75 minutes each class a day, a big setback to their education, Ms Arzua argues.
Complexo da Mare is home to about 140,000 people.
Last year, ahead of the World Cup, security forces occupied the area to implement the state's "pacification policy", which seeks to establish a permanent police presence in the area.
But the twins' mother, 46-year-old Sirlene da Silva says the "pacification policy" has actually increased tension in the area and clashes have become more frequent.
Ms Silva is on the minimum wage (around $250; £168 per month) and cannot afford to send her children to a private school in a safer area, so the family has little choice.
"We live in the crossfire," she says. "There's violence from criminals and violence from the police.
"When the police come in, they shoot first and ask questions later.
"When there are police operations, the kids can't go to school, the teachers can't come to class and the residents can't go to work."
The Rio authorities say extra classes are held to compensate for violence-generated gaps, and assure all schools fulfil the 200-day school year.
But the problem goes far beyond timetables.
Roberta de Sousa, 38, has been a teacher in a state school in Mare for eight years.
She says the frequent outbreaks of violence seriously undermine the children's performance and self-esteem.
"They go to school hoping it will lead to a better life, but instead, violence invades the walls. They feel that here, too, they are abandoned as citizens and aren't entitled to their basic rights," she explains.
Ms Sousa says she has had to switch classrooms or seek refuge in the school corridors for fear that bullets would come through the windows.
"I've had to teach literature with a shoot-out raging outside. It's not easy."
She is one of the teachers trained through a partnership between the state of Rio and the International Committee of the Red Cross to reduce the impact of violence on education.
Since 2009, the programme has been training teachers to deal with the violence which surrounds the pupils in both practical and psychological terms.
This ranges from drills on how to stay safe during shoot-outs to debating problems in class.
"Children don't talk about violence openly for fear of being punished," says Patricia Tinoco from Rio state's education office.
"We create a room for dialogue and this helps them deal with fear and understand what's happening."
She says that while pupils' performance has been consistently below average in troubled areas, the programme has led to improvements.
Meanwhile, Samir and Samira dream not only of their future careers but also of earning enough money to be able to leave Complexo da Mare and move somewhere safer.
Their mother hopes the constraints they are currently living under will not affect their chances of achieving their dreams
"I can't offer my children the education they deserve," she says. "It's a huge disadvantage but I have to have faith the situation will improve, or else nothing will make sense."
The 22-year-old playmaker impressed at UE Cornella before joining Barcelona B in December 2015, going on to make 46 appearances for the Catalan club.
Xemi, whose full name is Josep Miquel Codina Fernandez, is U's manager Pep Clotet's fourth summer signing.
"I have always thought about playing English football," Xemi told BBC Radio Oxford.
"My favourite players were [Steven] Gerrard and [Frank] Lampard."
He added: "I was looking to continue playing in the Spanish second division, but when Oxford appeared I was really interested in coming here.
"It's going to be more intense here, I think, and I will fit in better here than Barca."

Lord Hague said economic growth and Western unity were factors that made it "undoubtedly" better to remain in.
The ex-Tory leader said he was an "outright Eurosceptic" but suggested staying in was "the lesser of evils".
Vote Leave said its proposals would reduce immigration and accused the Remain campaign of "scaremongering".
Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Today programme ahead of a speech later, Lord Hague said he remained a critic of the EU but said that it had changed in recent years, and called for a "clear-headed" decision on 23 June.
"We are in an imperfect world," he said, "many of the choices we make in life are between the lesser of evils".
The Leave side has been campaigning hard on immigration, saying it cannot be controlled from within the EU.
Lord Hague said "leaving the EU as a means of controlling immigration" would affect British people wanting to move and work elsewhere in Europe.
"This is not the issue on which to decide how to vote in this referendum," he said.
Lord Hague also said Turkish accession to the EU should not be the key factor in making people's minds up, because it is "not on the cards", and warned of a "danger of the fragmentation of the Western world" if the UK leaves.
Leave campaigners have highlighted the government's backing for Turkish membership of the EU, saying a million Turks could potentially come to the UK within eight years of joining.
In his speech later, the Tory peer will accuse the Leave campaign of peddling a "total fantasy" about what life would be like for the UK outside the EU.
Irrespective of the level of tariffs that UK firms might face outside the EU, he will say confidence in the future of the British economy would be "seriously undermined", other countries will seek to lure businesses headquartered in the UK and the UK would be in a weak negotiating position to because of rules requiring exit talks to be concluded within two years unless all 27 states agree to extend them.
Lord Hague, who as Tory leader fought the 2001 election campaign on a platform of keeping the UK out of the euro, will argue his four years as foreign secretary has not sapped his Euroscepticism or his opposition to the UK's involvement in monetary union or a European army.
This issue covers immigration and free movement within Europe.
But he will argue that EU membership confers clear economic and diplomatic benefits on the UK.
"I've spent my political life standing up to it," he will say. "But for all its imperfections, it protects jobs and boosts our standing and power in the world. Let me tell you straight, as someone who's an outright Eurosceptic, leaving the European Union would be downright irresponsible.
"The idea that we can leave the EU without any serious economic consequences for jobs and businesses in Britain, and somehow have more money to spend on the NHS and other services at the same time, is a total fantasy, and people need to know that before they vote."
But UKIP MP Douglas Carswell said the UK would not face trade tariffs if it left the EU.
"At Vote Leave we do not believe that we would face restrictions on trade given that we are Germany's single largest export market," he told Today.
"It's not going to happen."
Leave campaigners hit back at Lord Hague, with Conservative MEP David Campbell Bannerman saying on Twitter that it was "pathetic" asking voters to "put up with more European fudge" and not to mention immigration.
Immigration was a major theme in Tuesday night's live Q&A featuring David Cameron and Nigel Farage, where the PM was repeatedly criticised for failing to control the numbers coming to the UK.
Vote Leave has advocated a points-based system similar to that used in Australia, saying this would be fairer on people coming from outside the EU and give the UK control over its borders.
The merger would see Cheil Industries, a Samsung de-facto holding company, take over its sister firm, construction group Samsung C&T.
The US activist fund has argued the merger is not in the best interests of Samsung C&T's shareholders.
Elliot holds 7.1% of Samsung C&T.
Samsung is the largest of South Korea's chaebols - huge family-run conglomerates. Other chaebols in South Korea include Hyundai and LG.
Elliot has also said the multi billion-dollar merger between Cheil Industries and Samsung C&T would give an unfair advantage to Samsung Group's Lee family - the nation's most powerful corporate name.
Samsung Electronics' vice-chairman and Samsung Group's heir apparent, Lee Jae-yong, is the major shareholder in Cheil Industries.
Analysts have said the motivation behind the proposed merger is likely to be the Lee family's efforts to ensure it stays in control of Samsung amid a generational changeover of power.
The shareholder vote on the merger is set for 17 July.
The designs have been presented to the Unicode consortium, the body that approves and standardises emojis.
The team said that they hoped the samples would "empower young women (the heaviest emoji users) and better reflect the pivotal roles women play in the world".
It includes healthcare workers, scientists and businesswomen.
Emojis are icons that are increasingly being used in mobile and web messaging to help tell a story.
The term - which means picture (e) and character (moji) in Japanese - was added to the Oxford English Dictionary in 2013.
The team of four Google employees cited a New York Times op-ed called "Emoji Feminism" as the motivation for its new designs.
"Where, I wanted to know, was the fierce professional working her way to tenure? Where was the lawyer? The accountant? The surgeon?" asks Amy Butcher in the piece.
"We are told we are the new generation of American women; no longer a minority, we are, in fact, the majority of breadwinners in American homes. And yet the best we can get is the flamenco [dancer]."
Research by Procter & Gamble suggested that 82% of girls aged 16-24 use emojis every day. More than half of those surveyed thought that female emojis were stereotypical.
Google's designs include women in technology, construction, farming and the food industry. The female musician emoji includes a homage to the late David Bowie - with a pink zig-zag on her face.
Users can already select from different skin tones as well as the generic yellow on some devices.
Recently Emojipedia, a search engine for emojis, proposed that you should also be able to choose the colour of hair and specify gender.
All emojis need to be approved by Unicode to make sure that they display properly across the different platforms.
However, emojis can look very different on competing platforms - a dancer emoji for instance shows up as a ballerina on LG phones, a man disco-dancing on Samsung devices, a yellow blob with its arm raised on Android and a flamenco dancer on iOS.
The next batch of emoji candidates is due to be released mid-year but it is unclear whether Google's designs will be approved in time to be included in this.
The rules say that blocking the cash is only possible if 25% of the parliament's 751 MEPs, from at least three political groups, request it.
Critics call the Alliance for Peace and Freedom (APF) a "neo-Nazi" movement.
German MEP Manfred Weber, head of the main centre-right group, is one of those who wants the funding stopped.
The European Parliament's records from January show €400,000 granted to the APF and €197,625 to an APF foundation, called Europa Terra Nostra.
The APF was launched in 2015. Its deputy chairman is Nick Griffin, formerly an MEP who led the British National Party (BNP).
An Italian veteran of the far-right, Roberto Fiore, chairs the alliance.
He was convicted in absentia in 1985 for links to NAR, a fascist group blamed over the 1980 Bologna train station bombing, which killed 85 people. He now leads a party called Forza Nuova (New Force).
Another deputy to Mr Fiore is Artemis Matthaiopoulos from Greece's Golden Dawn, an anti-immigrant party which sports Nazi-style symbols. Party members have been accused of serious crimes including murder, and some went on trial last year.
The APF also embraces the German National Democratic Party (NPD), whose leader Udo Voigt is an MEP. Germany's Constitutional Court is considering whether to ban the NPD.
Nationalist surge challenges Europe
A source at the parliament told the BBC that grants to European parties were usually transferred at the end of March, and "should money have been paid unduly, it will need to be reimbursed".
If enough MEPs object, a parliamentary committee will assess whether the APF acts in accordance with EU principles, namely "liberty, democracy, respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms and the rule of law".
As head of the powerful European People's Party (EPP) group Manfred Weber should be able to get the required 25% of MEPs united against the grant, the source said.
Last month Mr Weber wrote to other parliamentary group leaders and Parliament President Martin Schulz, saying there should be no such EU support for "some of the most radical and militant right-wing extremist parties".
Similar complaints against the APF were made by MEPs Marita Ulvskog (Sweden) and Daniele Viotti (Italy).
In its programme the APF says it stands for "promoting our common Christian values" and giving a voice to citizens who are "alienated from the democratic process" in the EU.
The APF has forged links with officials close to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and has condemned Nato, alleging that Western politicians are fomenting "Russophobia".
The far-right grouping expressed solidarity with Serbian nationalists commemorating the 1999 Nato bombing of Serbia. "The memories of the many innocent victims of Nato missiles and of the Islamist death squads of Albanians and Arab Jihadis in Kosovo are still raw," it said on Facebook.
Mr Griffin, who was expelled by the BNP in 2014, argues that Western leaders are fulfilling a "neo-con/Zionist" agenda, which helps Israel.
Emergency services were called to the scene at Ely Lodge on the Lough Shore Road in Enniskillen at 10:45 BST.
The Health and Safety Executive for Northern Ireland (HSENI) is investigating the circumstances of what happened.
An HSENI spokesperson said: "Our thoughts are with the family at this most difficult time."
The publisher said it was changing its editorial structure to address challenges faced by the print industry.
It cited audiences migrating to digital platforms and "industry giants" like Google and Facebook changing the way people read their news.
Johnston Press did not say how many jobs could be lost.
But the National Union of Journalists (NUJ) said 25 posts were under threat at 24 out of 28 Scottish weekly titles.
In a statement, the Edinburgh-based publisher said: "The pace of change in the media industry is showing no signs of abating, as we continue to face the challenges posed by our audiences migrating to digital platforms, and industry giants like Google and Facebook changing the way people read their news.
"We have seen over the past year at least, a number of newspapers closing or being put up for sale as publishers struggle to confront the challenges."
It added: "This restructure is designed to ensure our news brands are able to continue to serve their communities - as their only source of trusted local news.
"However, it does mean that there will be a significant reduction in the number of editorial roles.
"We are working closely with the NUJ in Scotland, and will continue to do so, in order to ensure we can achieve the best outcome for affected staff within the new structure."
NUJ Scottish organiser Paul Holleran said: "Members were shocked at the scale of proposed job losses and are now aware of the long-term precarious position of 24 Johnston Press Scottish titles.
"So far the management team have worked closely with the union in providing relevant information, maximising consultation and responding positively to initial negotiations.
"We have been told that their plans will put these titles into profitability.
"From our point of view we want to save all the titles, protect the journalists who will continue to work on these papers and get the best possible deal for those members who choose to leave the business.
"They have agreed a sensible timeframe for consultation and negotiation and I am hopeful agreement can be reached as soon as is practicable."
According to the NUJ, the four titles which are not facing job cuts are the Falkirk Herald, Fife Free Press, Southern Reporter and Stornoway Gazette. The union added that they had been identified as "prime" titles which would be given extra support to target potential growth.
Home Office figures reveal there were 2,181 fans banned at start of the latest season, compared with 2,273 the year before.
Newcastle has the worst record in the Premier League, with 132 orders.
Millwall fans have 64 banning orders against them, the largest number in the Championship before their relegation.
There were 484 new banning orders issued during the 2014/15 season, compared with 678 in 2013/14.
Bristol Rovers had the biggest number of new orders overall, with 31 issued during 2014/15.
Burnley fans received the largest number of new banning orders in the Premier League, 26 in total, before their relegation.
In the Championship Wolverhampton Wanderers fans had 22 imposed.
Leeds United fans sparked the most football-related arrests last season, 99 according to the figures.
The overall number of arrests has fallen, however. The Home Office statistics show there were 1,873 in the last season, a drop of 400.
Public disorder was the cause of the most arrests of Premier League fans, 273 between them. There were also 201 arrests for alcohol offences and 125 for violent disorder.
In the Championship, public disorder resulted in 290 arrests last season out of a total of 702 and alcohol accounted for 136.
Millwall FC chief executive Andy Ambler said a number of the orders imposed on its fans were from one incident at Wembley in April 2013, when violence broke out during the FA Cup semi-final against Wigan.
"Things have improved year on year," Mr Ambler said.
"Some of the orders still in force relate to the incident in 2013 at Wembley and that will give us a higher number than some other clubs."
Football banning orders can last between three and 10 years and prevent an individual attending matches at home and abroad.
Breaching an order is punishable by a maximum of six months in prison or a fine of £5,000, or both. Fans can have more than one banning order imposed.
Mike Penning, Minister for Policing, Crime, Criminal Justice and Victims, said: "The UK is a world leader in tackling football violence and disorder.
"Today's figures show our tough laws to ban known troublemakers are working. The trend in football-related arrests continues to fall and the number of football-related arrests has more than halved since 2000/01.
"We are clear; law-abiding fans should enjoy football matches in safety and any violent, disorderly or anti-social behaviour at matches will not be tolerated."
Walkden, who defended her world +67kg crown in June, put in a dominant display to win 14-0 in Moscow, Russia.
The 25-year-old's victory qualifies her for the new World Taekwondo Grand Slam, which will debut in China next year.
She won gold at the 2016 Grand Prix Final but this was her first title as part of qualification for that end of season event.
"Another one ticked off, am so happy," she posted on social media.

On Wednesday, Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness said Dee Stitt should reconsider his position as chief executive of Charter NI.
However, Mrs Foster said she could not tell the organisation what to do over employability issues.
She said she regretted the fact that Mr Stitt had now become "a distraction".
"My view is he has become a distraction to the work that's ongoing in east Belfast and I regret that," Mrs Foster said.
"This man is an employee of Charter NI and they have to deal with him as they see fit, it would be wrong for me to intervene in all of the different organisations that exist across Northern Ireland."
The calls for Mr Stitt to stand down began after he claimed the government does not care about Northern Ireland in a foul-mouthed rant to The Guardian newspaper. He has since apologised.
The leading loyalist has been given a final written warning as part of an internal disciplinary procedure.
Earlier, an SDLP MLA called for an independent review of the conduct of Mr Stitt.
Nichola Mallon told the BBC's Nolan Show that Charter NI's work has been tarred as a result of the controversy.
"The issue here is what, or who, has anything to fear from an independent review," Ms Mallon said.
"We are at a situation where a serious shadow has been cast over any of the good work that goes on within this organisation," she added.
Charter NI is a publically funded body which lobbies and advocates for community groups.
The author of a report into paramilitary activity, John McBurney, said he believes Mr Stitt should be on a probationary period with the organisation.
He told the Good Morning Ulster programme that the loyalist should not have made the remarks.
Ulster Unionist leader Mike Nesbitt has also called on the Northern Ireland Executive to take action.
"It is effectively - in the public perception - a stand-off between the Northern Ireland Executive and the UDA, between democracy and paramilitarism."
"I'm am calling on the executive to say that there is a line in the sand after which there will be zero tolerance of paramilitary organisations."
On Wednesday, the Deputy First Minister, Mr McGuinness, said damage was being done to the reputation of worthwhile social investment projects as a result of Mr Stitt's involvement with Charter NI.
Andrew Coulter, 35, admitted in court he had served six years for killing another man in an unrelated attack.
He also admitted to hitting Mr Chhokar with a home-made bat on the night he died but denied fatally stabbing him.
Mr Coulter's uncle, Ronnie Coulter, 48, denies murdering Mr Chhokar. He has blamed his nephew and another man.
He has lodged a special defence blaming Andrew Coulter and David Montgomery over the death of Mr Chhokar in Overtown, North Lanarkshire, in November 1998.
The murder trial, at the High Court in Glasgow, has already heard that Ronnie Coulter, from Wishaw, was tried and acquitted of murdering 32-year-old Mr Chhokar in 1999.
His nephew Andrew Coulter and David Montgomery were tried and acquitted of the murder in 2000.
The court previously heard from Mr Chhokar's partner at the time of his death, 56-year-old Elizabeth Bryce.
She told the court that Andrew Coulter had broken into Mr Chhokar's flat in nearby Gowkthrapple and stolen and cashed a giro cheque for just over £100.
Mr Bryce said when she had raised the matter with Mr Coulter, he had replied: "If anything happens to me, Chhokar is getting it."
Andrew Coulter gave evidence on Monday as the trial entered its second week.
Before starting his evidence, judge Lord Matthews told Mr Coulter that he did not have to answer any questions that might incriminate him in Mr Chhokar's murder.
Mr Coulter told the court that he had killed a man, Patrick Kelly, by stabbing him in the leg on 11 September 1999.
He was originally charged with murder, but convicted of culpable homicide and sentenced to six years detention.
The witness also admitted being jailed for six months in 2006 for possession of a knife.
He said that on the day Mr Chhokar died, 4 November 1998, he was looking for money to buy alcohol.
The witness said that he broke into a flat at Caplaw Tower, Gowkthrapple, which turned out to be Mr Chhokar's, and took a giro cheque he found there.
He told the court that he then cashed the cheque, after his uncle had forged Mr Chhokar's signature on it.
Later that day, Andrew Coulter said he had spoken to Ms Bryce, who had learned of the giro theft.
Mr Coulter said that when police involvement was mentioned, he told her that, if that happened, Mr Chhokar would be "getting it".
When asked by prosecutor Alex Prentice QC what that meant, Mr Coulter replied: "Battered".
Mr Coulter later admitted that he went to meet Mr Chhokar later that night amid the row over the stolen giro.
He said he was accompanied by his uncle, murder accused Ronnie Coulter, and David Montgomery.
The witness told the jury that he took a bat with him made out of an old table leg, which had been filled with lead and covered in tape.
He said: "I took the bat. If I couldn't talk to Chhokar, I was going to hit him with it."
The court has heard that before the three men set off to see Mr Chhokar there was discussion about what they were going to do to him.
When asked what this involved, Andrew Coulter answered: "Breaking his legs. I was trying to act the hard man."
Mr Coulter told the court that he, Ronnie Coulter and David Montgomery - known as Chez - arrived at Ms Bryce's house in Garrion Street, Overtown, at about 23:30.
They had driven to a nearby street and then climbed over the back fence into the garden of the house.
As Mr Chhokar arrived home from his shift at a local restaurant, the three men walked down the garden path towards him.
Andrew Coulter told the jury he told Mr Chhokar not to get the police involved and Mr Chhokar had swung a bottle at him.
He added: "He swung the bottle at me and missed me. I struck him with the bat on his arm."
Andrew Coulter said he then slipped and fell to the ground and his view of the street was impeded by the garden gate.
He added: "David went to pick me up and I did not see where Ronnie was."
Asked how Mr Chhokar appeared, Mr Coulter said: "He looked all right he didn't seem to be injured or nothing. He was walking. Liz Bryce came out shouting, and me and Chez ran."
He said the last time he saw his uncle, Ronnie Coulter, was seconds before he fell.
Andrew Coulter added: "Ronnie just disappeared."
When asked what he thought had happened that night Andrew Coulter said: "Nothing. That was it. Just assault."
When asked if Mr Chhokar appeared injured in any way, he replied: "No. He didn't look as if he was injured in any way. I think I said to Chez that Chhokar would have a a sore arm in the morning with the bat."
Andrew Coulter told the jury: "I never stabbed him."
He also said that he never saw anyone else stab Mr Chhokar, saying: "I never even saw anyone hit him, bar me."
The witness also said that he did not see Ronnie Coulter or David Montgomery carrying any weapons.
Ronnie Coulter denies murdering Mr Chhokar by repeatedly attacking him with a knife or a similar weapon and a further charge of forging Mr Chhokar's signature on a £100 giro cheque.
He also denies breaking into Mr Chhokar's home at Caplaw Tower, Gowkthrapple, on the day of his death and stealing a cooker and attempting to defeat the ends of justice by destroying or disposing of a knife and clothing.
The trial before Lord Matthews continues.
Mr Jones visited the European Commission in Brussels to ask for funding for upgrades to public transport as part of the £600m scheme.
He wants assurances the request will not be affected by Brexit negotiations.
The UK government has said any successful application for EU funding would be guaranteed by Westminster after Britain leaves the union.
The Metro scheme promises better trains, faster buses and light rail or tram services in Cardiff and the south Wales valleys.
Plans include £125m from UK government funds and £369m from the Welsh budget as well as EU funds, but the latter has not yet been applied for.
Welsh ministers are working towards making an application for funds by mid-2017, with construction to begin in 2019 and completion by the end of 2022.
Mr Jones, who visited Brussels on Wednesday for the fist time since the Brexit vote, said: "The EU referendum result has undoubtedly raised concerns about the delivery of our major capital programmes which currently receive funding from Europe."
He said he was in Brussels "to personally seek assurance from the European Commission that we can rely on their continued support for the Metro project in the months and years ahead.
"It is vital we keep up the momentum so we can secure approval before the UK leaves the EU."
Head of the European Commission Office in Wales, David Hughes, said: "As long as the UK remains a member state of the EU, it has the same rights and obligations as other member states.
"This means funding applications will be treated in the same way.
"With regard to what happens after the UK leaves, we simply cannot comment at this stage, since the UK has neither given notification under Article 50 of its intention to leave nor any indication of what it is seeking, either in terms of the future relationship it seeks or any transitional arrangements."
Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar said the city now enters a new era of "security, peace and reconciliation".
If confirmed, victory would mark a major advance for the one-time commander in the army of late strongman Muammar Gaddafi.
The LNA is not recognised by Libya's UN-backed government in Tripoli.
Libya's unrest since the 2011 ousting of Gaddafi saw extremist organisations, including so-called Islamic State, gain a foothold in the country.
In a televised speech on Wednesday, Field Marshal Haftar said that "after a continuous struggle against terrorism and its agents that lasted more than three years... we announce to you the liberation of Benghazi".
His announcement comes after bloody battles this week in Benghazi's Sabri district in which dozens of LNA fighters and various local Islamist militants died.
Pictures posted on social media sites showed some civilians in Benghazi and other parts of the country celebrating the end of a bitter conflict that left large parts of the country's second city in ruins and displaced thousands of people in recent years.
But Field Marshal Haftar also has many political and armed opponents in Libya.
He does not recognise the government in Tripoli, and instead backs the authorities in the east.
Opponents accuse the commander, who has backing from some foreign powers, of trying to impose autocratic rule in Libya.
Benghazi's conflict over the last three years at times appeared to have no end in sight, and - as it grew - so too did the Field Marshal Haftar's political and military ambitions.
This is a significant gain for him, and a city that has been aching for respite from the war.
Opinions over the conflict in Benghazi are largely divided; many will be celebrating what they see as a war brought to their doorstep by Islamist militias at a time when political actors in Libya barely acknowledged there was a problem there, despite the near daily bombings and killings in the city.
Others view it as a product of a man who was power-hungry and lumped up all of his enemies under the banner of "Islamist terrorists" to pave the way for a future political role through the might of the gun.
His short address dedicated to the people of Libya had an unusually reconciliatory tone, but it is not one that will ease worries over what his, or his opponents' next move might be.
In Libya today, a military victory in one battlefield often opens the door to conflict in others.
Powell, 50, was in charge of the national team between 1998 and 2013 and also managed the Great Britain side at the 2012 Olympic Games in London.
She was sacked after England's group-stage elimination from Euro 2013.
"I'm delighted to be back in management at a club that has so much ambition with amazing infrastructure both on and off the pitch," Powell said.
"The task is now to build a side capable of mounting a challenge for promotion into FA Women's Super League One."
Amy Merricks will be Powell's number two, with interim boss George Parris reverting to the role of regional talent club technical director.
Paul Barber, Brighton's chief executive, previously knew Powell during his period as the Football Association's commercial director.
He told the club's official website: "Hope has an incredible wealth of coaching experience at the very highest level, and had a very impressive career as a player too.
"This appointment also further demonstrates the ongoing commitment that the chairman, myself and the board of directors have in promoting women's football at the club."

It was a great leap and fantastic header and there were only two players on the pitch who could have done it - the other was Gareth Bale.
Bale did his best to find some magic in Lyon but while it did not happen for him, it happened for his Real Madrid team-mate, who also set up Portugal's second goal by Nani a few minutes later.

That was more avoidable from a Welsh point of view, but it was also unlucky - there was at least one offside involved and Ronaldo also mis-hit the shot that Nani turned in.
After that, Portugal just snuffed us out, which is what they are very good at. The substitutions that Wales manager Chris Coleman made to try to change that did not work this time, and we are out.
It is a disappointing end to an incredible tournament but we can still be proud, because it was an incredible achievement to reach the semi-finals.
We should remember that we lost 2-0 and we were not torn apart, it was a world-class player that has decided the game, and I still feel we were not far off from winning it.
I said before the game that it would be either Ronaldo or Bale who decided this game - sadly for Wales, it was Ronaldo.
We actually dealt well with Ronaldo in a very even first half, with the strength of James Collins in the air helping us cope well with the balls aimed towards him in the box.
But he is such a good player that he always finds a way through, and the way he got a run on James Chester to score showed how clever he is.
If you watch Ronaldo's movement as the ball is put over following a short corner, he fools Chester by feinting to go in front of him and, by doing so, manoeuvred him under the ball so he could not get the same leap at it.
While he was doing that, Ronaldo has kept his eye on the ball and picked up the flight of it and the height he reaches when he meets the ball - 7ft 10in - is amazing.
It is no fluke, either, he does it every week for Real Madrid and has a phenomenal scoring record at the European Championship too.
Although it was from a set-piece, you have to put Portugal's first goal down to the genius of Ronaldo - not so for their second.
Ronaldo was marginally offside when he picked up the ball on the left at the start of the move, and it was the same for Renato Sanches, who was interfering with play when he stepped over Ronaldo's dragged shot on its way to Nani.
Credit to Nani, who read the shot as it came towards him. You could see he was on his toes to turn it home, and it was a real striker's goal.
But Wales could definitely have done more to prevent it, starting with Joe Ledley who was slow out to close down Ronaldo in the first place.
There were seven more Wales players still in the box as the ball was fired back in, but Nani was the only one anticipating it, and he got his reward. That goal was the one that killed us.

Wales still had more than 35 minutes to rescue the game but we found it very difficult to find a way through.
Coleman did not wait long to make changes, and Wales soon switched from 5-3-2 to 4-4-2, by which time Sam Vokes and Simon Church had come off the bench as our two strikers.
We went for it, and there is nothing wrong with that, but we just seemed to lose a bit of discipline in the centre of midfield with that change of shape because Joe Allen had pushed further up.
Without him, we did not really have a player back there who we could recycle the ball to and look to get us going.
Andy King had looked dangerous in the first half when he was making runs into the box but by this stage he was dropping back along with Jonny Williams and we were not really creating much.
Bale was trying his best, of course, and dropping deeper and deeper to get on the ball but it just was not his night - his best effort of the game was a superb dipping strike from distance that brought a great stop from Rui Patricio.
Part of the reason we lost was down to our lack of invention, but Portugal deserve credit too. They are a tough nut to crack defensively and are unbeaten in their last 13 competitive games, and they are in the final on merit.

Follow all the Champions League draw reaction here
PSG, who have won the Ligue 1 title with two months to spare, will welcome City to the French capital in the first leg on Wednesday, 6 April.
The return leg at Etihad Stadium will take place on Tuesday, 12 April.
The teams have met only once before - a goalless draw in Manchester in the 2008-09 Uefa Cup.
Both clubs are barely recognisable from that meeting, when City were still in the infancy of Sheikh Mansour's ownership and PSG almost three years away from their Qatari takeover.
Laurent Blanc's side have gone on to dominate the French game, winning four successive league titles.
But, like City, the Parisians have not managed to conquer the Champions League, losing in the quarter-finals in each of the past three seasons.
City manager Manuel Pellegrini, who will be replaced in the summer by Guardiola after three seasons at the helm, said there would not have been an "easy" last-eight draw for his side.
"Maybe one team has less names than another team but they're at this stage so they deserve to be there because they eliminated other teams," said the 62-year-old Chilean, who led Malaga to the quarter-finals in 2013.
"It's better to be away first - I prefer always to finish at home so you know always what you must do in your home stadium.
"In my opinion, Barcelona is the team that always make the difference but all the other teams are all the same."
Barcelona, attempting to become the first side to win back-to-back Champions Leagues, face an Atletico side they have enjoyed playing in recent seasons.
The Spanish champions are eight points clear of second-placed Atletico in La Liga, having beaten them in both league matches this season.
The Catalans have been victorious in their past six meetings, although Diego Simeone's team won 2-1 on aggregate in the 2013-14 Champions League quarter-finals on their way to finishing runners-up.
"I don't think there was a tougher opponent. They are the side who defend better than anyone," said Barcelona board member Javier Bordas.
The 43-year-old replaces Eric Black who left for Premier League strugglers Aston Villa last week.
Eaden, who has recently been working with Leicester City's under-21s, played with Millers head coach Neil Redfearn at Barnsley.

Onyemaechi Mrakpor, 49, and a member of the lower house, told the BBC she was attacked for overtaking the motorcade of Peter Ezenwa Ekpendu on Wednesday.
"One man banged at my car, slapped me and called me a prostitute," she said.
Mr Ekpendu reportedly watched as the lawmaker was assaulted by his aides within the premises of the parliament.
Mrs Mrakpor said she was shocked and embarrassed by what happened and had written a formal complaint to the police.
"I wondered if that could happen to me, what the other helpless Nigerians will be going through," she told the BBC's Focus on Africa radio programme.
The opposition lawmaker, who represents a constituency in the southern Delta state, said the incident highlighted the way women and girls are treated in the country.
Mrs Mrakpor was in tears when she reported the incident, one senior MP told parliament on Thursday.
"This is the time we need to rally behind her not just as a member but as a woman," MP Femi Gbajabiamila said, The Herald newspaper reported.
It is not clear when Mr Ekpendu, who has not yet reacted to the report, will face the MPs.
Nigerian officials often travel in large convoys, forcing other motorists to make way. There have been frequent accusations that those who refuse to pull over are assaulted.
All heads of security agencies in the parliament have also been summoned to explain why they failed to protect the lawmaker.
Beware of blue lights - Naziru Mikailu, BBC News
Driving along the roads of Nigeria's major cities, it is common to see a large convoy of senior government officials moving at high speed.
They often show scant respect for traffic rules.
When you spot the blue lights flashing behind your car or hear the sirens, you know that you must give way regardless of the situation.
This often causes terrible accidents and lead to abuses of ordinary motorists.
The country was shocked in September last year when the officials in the motorcade of a state governor allegedly assaulted a woman and her two children on a highway for not vacating the road for the politician's convoy on time.
In most cases the individuals or the politicians and security forces responsible for these large convoys get away with it.
After coming to office last year, President Muhammadu Buhari ordered his convoy and security aides to abide by traffic rules and respect other motorists.
But it appears that the president's action is yet to convince some other top officials to change their minds.
None of the injuries was life-threatening and emergency services were at the scene, the company said in a statement.
There were 128 passengers and 14 crew on board the train when the accident happened just after midnight local time (05:00 GMT).
US Highway 50 has been closed as a result, Reuters reported.
Eight people were killed last May when a New York-bound Amtrak train derailed in Philadelphia.
That train was travelling at over twice the speed limit, safety experts say.
The firm has taken control of Longbridge House in the Cathedral Quarter for a mixed-use redevelopment.
Michael Wright, director of asset management at Wirefox, said the top three floors of the building offer about 16,000 sq ft of Grade A office space.
Last month, the firm bought the Oxford and Gloucester House office complex.
Wirefox is based in Holywood and is controlled by the businessman BJ Eastwood.
Last year, the firm bought substantial housing development lands near Lisburn in County Antrim.
Another firm associated with Mr Eastwood, Dialectic Partners, also bought a property portfolio from the US investment fund Cerberus.
Longbridge House was bought from Straben Developments for an undisclosed sum.
Meanwhile, Straben has managed to retake control of another Belfast office development that had been placed into receivership last year.
Adelaide Exchange was put into receivership by Ulster Bank and the Lone Star investment fund.
Straben has raised money from a new financial backer, which allowed it to buy the building back.
Yorkshire's Magical Winterland, in Harrogate, opened on Wednesday but closed temporarily on Thursday afternoon after numerous complaints.
More than 500 people had also posted comments on the attraction's Facebook page.
Organisers have apologised and said their design team had made "improvements" overnight.
Leanne Potter, who described herself as a "disappointed mummy", told the BBC her visit, with her four-year-old daughter and 10-month-old son, had been "truly awful".
The indoor event is being held at Yorkshire Event Centre at the Great Yorkshire Showground.
Admission costs £6 for people aged 13 and above, £5 for children aged 2 to 12, and £5 for concessions. A family ticket for four costs £18.
However, activities such as puppet shows, fairground rides and a circus are not included in the admission price.
Cat Recchia, from Harrogate, also visited the attraction with her four-year-old daughter.
"I expected there to be some sort of entertainment - some Christmas music, an overall atmosphere - but it was pretty much a warehouse with some fairground rides," she said.
"It definitely was not magical."
Peter Snee, from Yorkshire's Magical Winterland, said: "Obviously there were teething problems with it being the first year of the event."
Mr Snee said the majority of complaints stated that the event was not festive enough and was poor value for money.
"Hopefully now there are a lot more festive things going on and we have included a number of additional features for guests in the entrance fee," he said.
He said information about charges for additional rides and events inside the attraction was clearly advertised. | Police in the Republic of Ireland have launched an investigation after a viewer claimed comments made by Stephen Fry on a TV show were blasphemous.

His replacement will be named on 17 January when interim coach Rob Howley announces his Six Nations squad.
Ospreys lock Alun Wyn Jones, who has 105 caps for Wales, is the prime contender to replace him.
The Cardiff Blues flanker, 28, first captained Wales in 2011 and led the British and Irish Lions to a 2-1 series win in Australia in 2013.
Warburton, who has 69 Wales caps, was skipper for the 2011 and 2015 World Cup campaigns.
He led the side to the semi-finals in 2011 and quarter-finals four years later, as well as a Six Nations Grand Slam in 2012 before winning the championship the following year.
"It's a massive decision. He's been the captain for so long and it shows his integrity," former Wales international Emyr Lewis told BBC Radio Wales.
"It shows how unselfish he is and he's put the Welsh team at the forefront of his reasoning behind it."
Jones, 31, has captained Wales in the past and led the Lions in the final Test in Australia after Warburton was ruled out with injury.
Lewis says Jones would be a good choice to take over, adding: "Everyone's got respect for him and it's going to be an interesting battle now for the number seven position."

Claire Rafferty's third-minute own goal gave the German side the lead.
Babett Peter headed into her own net after the break to level the score, but substitute Caroline Graham Hansen's low finish gave the visitors victory.
Chelsea must now score at least twice in Germany on 18 November.
The new Women's Super League champions made a nervy start and conceded an early goal when they failed to clear a free-kick and Nilla Fischer's poked shot was deflected in by England left-back Rafferty.
Chelsea defender Gilly Flaherty then appeared to elbow Vanessa Bernauer on the half-hour mark, as Wolfsburg frustrated the hosts by pressing high up the pitch.
The Blues drew level after half-time through Peter's own goal and almost took the lead when Ji So-yun's shot was blocked and Fran Kirby fired narrowly wide.
However, Hansen's goal put Wolfsburg - who have reached the semi-finals in each of the past three seasons - in control.
Chelsea Ladies boss Emma Hayes said:
"Four weeks between games showed in the first 45 minutes so I hope our Football Association do more to prepare better scheduling because if an English team is going to win the Champions League, we have to be more game ready.
"It's geared to French, German and Swedish teams, and until we change that or listen to clubs like Chelsea we are always going to get knocked out in the early rounds.
"It took us a while to get started, and it was a poor goal to concede. Other than that there wasn't a lot between the two teams. The difference at this level is that we had two glorious chances to score and didn't and they counter us and go 2-1 up.
"For us to get a result at Wolfsburg is a tall order. We will create chances but we have been a bit vulnerable on the counter attack."

Ore has been investigating the state of racism in football for a special Newsround report.
People had thought that racism had been stamped out of football for good - but the events of the 2011/12 season seemed to show a return to the bad old days of the 1970s and 1980s.
In this special film, Ore speaks to Danny Shittu of Milwall, former Aston Villa and Chelsea player Paul Elliott and to the head of world football, Sepp Blatter, President of Fifa, to find out what's being done to combat the problem.

Stanley missed out on automatic promotion on goal difference and then lost 3-2 on aggregate to AFC Wimbledon in their play-off semi-final tie.
"The last three weeks have been an absolute nightmare," he said.
"We'll go again next year but it will be more difficult. Teams will be wise to us and we won't be the surprise package."
Accrington finished the regular campaign with a 12-match unbeaten run, but a goalless draw at home to Stevenage on the final day meant they finished fourth in the table.
Having lost the first leg of their semi-final tie 1-0 to the Dons on Saturday, Stanley led 2-0 with half an hour remaining in the second leg at the Wham Stadium thanks to a penalty from Josh Windass and a long-range effort from Piero Mingoia.
However, Adebayo Akinfenwa's header set up extra-time and Lyle Taylor's 104th-minute strike settled the tie in AFC Wimbledon's favour.
"I'm sick at the moment but you've got to accept in life there are winners and losers. I've had my fair share," Coleman told BBC Radio Lancashire.
"We've played some unbelievable football this year - Piero's goal deserves to win the World Cup, never mind a play-off semi-final.
"The fact that we've been brought to the brink [of promotion] and each time it gets snatched away, it can be cruel.
"The thing that's annoying me at the moment is the ability to win big games is disappearing. Wins at Wycombe, Oxford and Orient mean nothing now."
Reaching the final against Plymouth Argyle at Wembley on Monday, 30 May means AFC Wimbledon are one match away from reaching the third tier for the first time in their 14-year history.
The phoenix club were formed in 2002 in protest at the decision to allow the old Wimbledon FC to relocate to Milton Keynes, and the Dons won five promotions in nine years to reach the Football League in 2011.
Ardley, who played over 300 games for Wimbledon, has accomplished a boyhood dream to manage a side at the national stadium.
"Ever since I was a kid I wanted to be a manager," he told BBC Radio London.
"I always dreamt of the possibility of one day walking my team out at Wembley. I've succeeded on something on the bucket list.
"After what they have been through over the last 14 years, to take the fans to Wembley and give them this excitement is immense.
"The connection between our team and our club has never been greater in my time here."
The extra 15 minutes will mean that fans will still get an hour of the show, not including adverts.
Comedian Jo Brand has also announced she will join the channel with her spin-off programme, The Great British Bake Off: An Extra Slice.

Bat Khurts' lawyer says the UK government told him he was coming for talks but acted "duplicitously" at the behest of the German government.
Mr Khurts, 41, was allegedly involved in the kidnap and false imprisonment of a Mongolian national in 2003.
The UK Foreign Office said the arrest was in no way a political statement.
Mr Khurts, the head of the executive office of Mongolia's National Security Council, was arrested at London's Heathrow Airport in September and is being held at Wandsworth prison in south west London.
He will appear before City of Westminster magistrates on Wednesday.
His solicitor, Duncan MacDonald of law firm JD Spicer, said his client had no idea a European Arrest Warrant existed.
He said Mr Khurts had thought he had been invited to the UK for official government talks on intelligence co-operation relating to Muslim fundamentalism.
The UK's national security advisor Sir Peter Ricketts and his strategy and counter-terrorism director William Nye were among those he thought he was meeting.
There had been "prolonged correspondence" prior to the trip, Mr MacDonald added.
"It seems the Foreign Office was duplicitously luring Mr Khurts to his arrest and imprisonment at the behest of the German government," he said.
"This is no way to treat any individual, let alone a senior official of an allied nation."
The warrant for Mr Khurts' arrest relates to the kidnap, false imprisonment and repatriation of Mongolian national Enkhbat Damiran, who has since died.
Mr Enkhbat was wanted in connection with the murder of Mongolian minister Zorig Sanjasuuren.
It is alleged that Mr Khurts helped kidnap Mr Enkhbat in France before driving him to Berlin in Germany, drugging him and flying him back to Mongolia.
Mr MacDonald says Mongolian prime minister Sukhbaataryn Batbold cancelled a trip to the UK in November as a result of Mr Khurts' arrest - and has no plans to reinstate it.
But the UK Foreign Office said it was postponed because of parliamentary business in Mongolia, and officials were looking to reschedule it.
A spokesman said: "Mr Bat Khurts was arrested under the European Arrest Warrant issued by the German judicial authorities.
"The arrest in no way amounts to a diplomatic or political statement by the British government.
"Judicial authorities, which are wholly independent of the government, are carrying out their independent legal function in accordance with the law.
"His extradition is now before the courts and it would be inappropriate for us to pass further comment at this stage."

Bristol artist Luke Jerram is behind the project called Treasure City in which treasures worth at least £1,000 each are hidden to be found and kept.
To find the pieces you will need to visit the 20-21 Arts Centre and study five paintings featuring codes, some of which are "extremely hard" to crack.
Mathematician and secret code-setter Dan Fretwell was called in to set the ciphers to encrypt messages telling people where to find the trinkets.

The pair, aged 18 and 17, were discovered during the search, which also uncovered about 100 marijuana plants inside the house in Liverpool.
Merseyside Police said the crop, found in Suburban Road, Anfield, on Thursday, had an estimated annual yield of £400,000 a year.
Both men were arrested on suspicion of cultivation of cannabis.
Crash expert Mark Hill told Glasgow Sheriff Court that within 19 seconds, the lorry initially accelerated to 25mph, then dropped to 19mph and 10mph.
He said the lorry crew and pedestrians had as little as five seconds to react as the tragedy unfolded on 22 December.
The inquiry is examining the lorry, its route and driver Harry Clarke's health.
The court previously heard that the 58-year-old driver was unconscious at the wheel as the Glasgow City Council bin lorry went out of control on Queen Street in the city centre, killing six pedestrians and injuring 15 others.
Mr Hill, a consultant with the Transport Research Laboratory, was giving evidence on the fifth day of the FAI, which is being overseen by Sheriff John Beckett QC.
On Monday, he told the inquiry that the six people who died were killed within 19 seconds.
In his second day of evidence, Mr Hill said the bin lorry initially accelerated as it hit the pavement and pedestrians in front of it would have had "very short notice" to take evasive action.
The witness told the court that the two rear-seated crew members could not have known how long the crash would last.
Mr Hill said that when the bin lorry began striking buildings, road signs and pedestrians, this would "confound clear thought" of the crew on board.
The witness told the court that the crew would probably have expected the bin lorry to stop after it crashed into the Virgin Money building.
He said that in the "intense environment" of an ongoing crash, the crew would be likely to revert to "innate" self-preservation.
They would have experienced "perceived dread" - a fear of not being in control of the situation and of suffering serious harm.
Mr Hill said the crew's perception of time could have been distorted as the bin lorry veered out of control, further impacting on their decision-making.
The inquiry has previously heard that the two crewmen, Matthew Telford and Henry Toal, made no attempt to apply the brake and believed they could not reach it.
Neither of the men could drive and they had not been given any training on what to do if a driver fell ill at the wheel.
Mr Hill's report on the crash said Mr Toal and Mr Telford would have had about five seconds in which to react.
He described Mr Telford's first actions, in trying to rouse the driver Mr Clarke as "logical".
Mr Hill noted that the crew had limited knowledge of driving and were physically constrained by the railing separating them from the front of the cabin.
He said any consideration of how to stop the bin lorry would have required "far more in-depth" knowledge and experience.
The witness said the crew would have had enough reaction time to reach the handbrake but said it was "questionable" if they could have made a decision during the confusion.
Mr Hill also said that engaging the handbrake could potentially have led to other buildings and people being hit.
He concluded that there was "insufficient time" for Mr Toal and Mr Telford to react from detecting the altered course of the bin lorry to it hitting the Millennium Hotel in George Square.
Mr Hill was later cross-examined by Mark Stewart QC, who is representing the bereaved Sweeney and McQuade families.
He noted that parts of Mr Hill's report dealt with the psychological reactions of the crew, yet he was not a psychologist.
Mr Stewart noted that there was an incident in Glasgow in 2014 where a bin lorry driver took ill and untrained crew steered the vehicle through a hedge.
Mr Hill, who previously noted that the bin lorry crew were not trained in how to stop the vehicle, agreed that a trained crew could have made "better, informed decisions about how to intervene".
He confirmed, under questioning from Mr Stewart, that a trained crew operating the handbrake could have stopped the bin lorry before it reached the St Vincent Place junction with Queen Street.
The QC then noted that about 2% of road collisions were attributed to a "driver medical event".
Mr Hill agreed that, given this statistic, driver medical conditions were a "foreseeable risk".
Under cross-examination from Glasgow City Council's QC, Peter Gray, Mr Hill agreed that "interfering with the handbrake" would be a "last resort", even for a trained crew.
He said that in cases such as this crash, there was "a matter of seconds" to react, and anyone doing so would need a "cool head".
The witness said they would need to make a "calculated decision", as applying the handbrake could lead to "very much worse consequences".
Mr Hill agreed with Mr Gray's assertion that any training for such an event would be "very challenging indeed".
The witness said he found no evidence that such training existed, or that there had even been discussion of it or guidance issued from regulators.
Mr Gray then asserted that "expert guidance" would be needed to put together such training and would involve psychologists and crash experts.
Mr Hill said that while he was no training expert, crews would need a far greater knowledge of the workings of a bin lorry under such a training scheme.
The QC then concluded his cross-examination by saying that while training was "a positive thing" it also had "to be practical" and any employer offering such advanced training would have to give "serious consideration" to the qualifications of bin lorry crew.
Liam Ewing, the representative of the bin lorry's two rear-seated crewmen, Mr Telford and Mr Toal, also cross examined Mr Hill.
He highlighted a previous Glasgow City Council bin lorry crash when the vehicle went into a garden after the driver fainted.
Mr Ewing noted that this incident was "quite dissimilar" from the George Square crash in that the lorry was going at low speed and the driver was alone in the cab.
Mr Hill then agreed that the crew on board the George Square lorry would have been aware it was speeding up and would have had a limited view from their rear seats.
He also agreed that they would have been in danger of hitting the windscreen if they had attempted to apply the handbrake without wearing a seatbelt.
Erin McQuade, 18, her grandparents Jack Sweeney, 68, and his 69-year-old wife Lorraine, all from Dumbarton, died in the incident in the city's Queen Street and George Square.
Stephenie Tait, 29, and Jacqueline Morton, 51, both from Glasgow, and Gillian Ewing, 52, from Edinburgh, were also killed when the truck mounted the pavement before crashing into the side of the Millennium Hotel.
A further 15 people were injured.
The Crown Office has already concluded that there will be no criminal prosecution over the crash, with senior lawyers deeming it a "tragic accident".
Work at the path involving a boundary wall on Wellington Brae in the Ferryhill area has been suspended while an investigation takes place.
Aberdeen City Council said there was doubt over who owns the land.
Council finance convener Willie Young said he and his family had owned the land in the past, but not currently.
Mr Young, a Labour councillor, has denied any wrongdoing.
The council said approval for the project did not follow the required governance procedures and was not presented for committee approval.
It said an urgent review was under way.
The path is cordoned off but no repair work is taking place.
The project was to be fully funded by cycling charity Sustrans, which awarded just over £21,000 for preliminary work, with the full funding to be paid when the work was completed.
Bernadette Marjoram, Aberdeen City Council's interim director of communities, housing and infrastructure, said: "The Wellington Brae cycleway repairs were first considered by officers of the council in 2016 following storm damage.
"Aberdeen City Council acknowledges the project did not subsequently follow the required governance procedures and was not presented for committee approval at any stage in the process.
"This is a serious failing by council officers and therefore an urgent review is under way. In light of this, work has been suspended."
She explained: "The project, which was to be fully funded by Sustrans, was instigated by staff of the planning and sustainable development service in conjunction with Sustrans on the basis the section is part of a national network.
"It should be stated no works were requested by landowners in the area surrounding the path and nor did any landowner seek funding for repairs.
"At this stage the ownership of the land is in question. Aberdeen City Council is urgently seeking to establish clarity in this respect.
"To reiterate, no elected member of Aberdeen City Council was given the opportunity to consider the Wellington Brae project at committee or was party to any decision taken."
Local SNP councillor Graham Dickson said: "This revelation needs to be fully investigated to ensure there has been no misuse of public funds.
"This decision appears to have bypassed all public scrutiny and we need to know who authorised what and why."
Tom Mason of the Scottish Conservatives said: "This appears to have been a failing in process on the part of council officers, and it is right that a proper investigation is carried out internally.
"I think most local residents would be surprised that the council cannot identify who owns the land in question. Officials must get to the bottom of this as soon as possible."
Liberal Democrat councillor Ian Yuill said: "Council staff must explain why this issue was not submitted to a council committee for approval.
"They must also make clear whether they realised there was a potential conflict of interest and what, if anything, they did because of that."
An Aberdeen City Council spokesman said: "As intimated in our initial statement on the Wellington Brae cycleway project on April 25, a full review into the circumstances remains ongoing.
"At this stage it would not be appropriate to comment on individual aspects under consideration as part of that review. The findings will be reported through appropriate channels in due course."
Korryn Gaines, 23, was armed with a shotgun and due to be arrested for an outstanding traffic violation at the time.
Police said she refused to co-operate and opened fire when they tried to enter her apartment.
The boy, who may have been her son, was also shot during the exchange, but is in a stable condition in hospital.
Police said Gaines threatened to kill them. It was unclear whether the child was wounded by the police or Gaines.
The incident lasted hours, with Gaines and Baltimore County police officers locked in a standoff. News of her death has gone viral on social media.
The shooting began after police went to serve arrest warrants on her and a man in the suburb of Randallstown. Gaines was wanted for failing to appear in court for traffic stop charges dating to March. The man was wanted for assault, but was not found at the scene.
"We discharged one round at her," Police Chief James Johnson told reporters at news conference. "In return, she fired several rounds back at us. We fired again at her, striking and killing her."
Gaines was hit by more than one bullet and pronounced dead at the scene. The boy in the apartment was shot in a limb.
He was cradled in her arms when officers finally entered the room.
The officers involved in the shooting have been placed on administrative leave. Baltimore's police started using body cameras a few weeks ago, but the department has not confirmed if those involved were wearing them.
Extracts from Twitter debate
"We should all be cautious to believe the first version of events offered by police when they use lethal force," said Shaun King, a civil rights activist in an article for New York Daily News. "If law enforcement officers make a huge mistake, they will rarely come out and admit such a thing on the day of the event."
There has been a surge of outrage and questioning on social media in the wake of the incident.
"My niece is a good person; I never knew her to be a rowdy person," said Jerome Barnett, Gaines' uncle in an interview with the Baltimore Sun immediately after the incident. "She was smart and very respectful."
Ms Chornovol, who was born in Kiev in 1979, is known for her investigative reports on the murky business affairs and conspicuous wealth of Ukraine's top officials, published regularly by the pro-opposition websites Ukrayinska Pravda and Levyy Bereg, as well as for her sometimes daring direct action stunts.
In a blog entry published on Ukrayinska Pravda on the evening of 24 December under the headline "A hangman lives here", Ms Chornovol posted photographs of what she said was the out-of-town residence of Interior Minister Vitaliy Zakharchenko in Kiev Region.
On the morning of 25 December, Ukrayinska Pravda quoted fellow activist Oleksiy Hrytsenko as saying that Ms Chornovol had called him the previous evening to say that she had been followed by Berkut riot police officers while taking photographs at the residence of Prosecutor-General Viktor Pshonka.
In earlier blogs, Ms Chornovol described visits by activists to the residences of other senior officials, including Prime Minister Mykola Azarov. In one, she reported that she had personally thrown eggs and written slogans on the fence at the home of Viktor Medvedchuk, the leader of the pro-Russian public organization Ukrainian Choice.
Tetyana Chornovol has also organised several marches on foot to the gates of President Viktor Yanukovych's out-of-town residence at Mezhyhirya.
On 25 November, Ms Chornovol was involved in an incident during a pro-EU rally on Kiev's European Square in which opposition supporters attacked a van that they suspected was carrying out covert surveillance.
In video of the incident, Ms Chornovol was seen climbing onto the roof of the van and smashing the roof-window with a heavy object before climbing inside. The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) later said that its employees were using the van for standard anti-terrorism precautions.
In August 2013, Ms Chornovol was detained for "disorderly conduct" after she spent six hours on a cornice in the Kiev city hall during a protest intended to draw attention to the "illegitimacy" of the Kiev council.
In August 2012, she was detained by guards for trespassing on the territory of Yanukovych's Mezhyhirya residence after she gained entrance by scaling a high fence. Although most of her photographs were deleted, she still managed to post several shots of Mr Mezhyhirya's golf-course and a vast house-boat in ornate "galleon" style.
In the October 2012 election, Ms Chornovol unsuccessfully ran for parliament as a candidate of the opposition Fatherland party in a Lviv Region constituency.
In 2008, she was at the centre of a libel case in which Donetsk tycoon Rinat Akhmetov sued the Obozrevatel website in a London court over "false allegations" in her reports on his early career. The court awarded Mr Akhmetov $100,000 in damages.

Leaders of the ultra-Orthodox Belz sect in north London wrote to parents saying "no child will be allowed to learn in our school" if their mother drives.
Women driving "goes against the laws of modesty within our society", it said.
A spokesman from the Belz Community said they were "saddened" by the "misrepresentation" of the notice.
The Home Office said it would be inappropriate to comment on individual cases, adding that the government "believes everyone in this country is equal and everybody is free to lead their lives as they see fit".
The Belz, who originated in Ukraine in the early 19th Century, are an ultra-Orthodox sect who follow Haredi Judaism.
The letter, which was signed from the "spiritual management" of Belz institutions, said: "There has been an increase in incidences of mothers of our students who have begun driving cars, something that goes against the laws of modesty within our society."
This had led to "a lot of exasperation among other parents", it said.
The group's leader in Israel, Rabbi Yissachar Dov Rokeach, had advised that "if a woman is driving a car, she cannot send her children to be educated in Belz institutions", it said.
It added that women with a "specific reason" to drive could submit a request to a special committee.
The Belz community are part of the Haredi community - ultra-orthodox Jews for whom religion is a defining part of their identity.
Although historically a small part of the overall Jewish population in Britain, the Haredi are growing, mostly because of their high birth rate.
They are already the dominant group among Jewish communities in Hackney, Haringey, Salford, and Gateshead, and the Institute of Jewish Policy Research (IJPR) says that Haredi numbers will double in size every eighteen years.
An emphasis on studying the Torah has led to concerns that Haredi boys are leaving school with few qualifications.
Men often continue with their prayer studies after marriage, rather than seek work, and those who do have employment have been affected by changes in traditional occupations, like textiles.
As a result, poverty and deprivation tend to hit Haredi households hard, and there's evidence that Haredi areas in Hackney, for example, receive higher than average rates of means-tested benefits.
The IJPR though, says that the insular nature of Haredi life also produces a highly-supportive community, whose members work hard to help each other.
The Jewish Chronicle, which first reported the story, said that while many Hasidic women do not drive, this is thought to be the first formal declaration against the practice in the UK.
Dina Brawer, UK Ambassador of the Jewish Orthodox Feminist Alliance, said the rule was "stupid and impractical" and could not work.
Responding to the letter, Education Secretary and Minister for Women and Equalities, Nicky Morgan, said: "This is completely unacceptable in modern Britain.
"If schools do not actively promote the principle of respect for other people they are breaching the independent school standards.
"Where we are made aware of such breaches we will investigate and take any necessary action to address the situation."
But in a statement to Mrs Morgan from the Belz community, a spokesman said it never intended to "stigmatise or discriminate against children or their parents".
It said: "We are proud of what we stand for and we do not feel the need to excuse ourselves for our deeply held beliefs and staunchly maintained way of life.
"It has withstood the test of time and is not prone to the vagaries of passing fads."
The statement continued: "In an effort to formulate these guidelines the issue of women driving cars became conflated with broader issues which we intended to address.
"It is a fact that most women in our community do not drive cars. It is equally true that a fair number of women do drive cars openly and entirely unhindered.
"They and their families are as respected within our community as any other members and we have no intention of changing that."
This goes to the heart of what is a fantastically difficult problem now facing the government in drafting a counter-extremism bill that protects against extremism, but also safeguards religious freedom.
Earlier this year, Home Secretary Theresa May defined extremism as "the vocal or active opposition to fundamental British values, including democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and the mutual respect and tolerance of different faiths and beliefs".
It throws up the question, is a religious ban on women driving active opposition to the British value of individual liberty? And how do you square that with the other British value of mutual respect and tolerance for different faiths and beliefs?
Be assured that there will be some very big legal brains at the Home Office grappling with this issue right now, trying to define extremism in a way that is workable and effective.
But if such issues as religious driving bans are to be covered by the extremism bill, those responsible could be subject to a banning order which could ban an entire organisation, or a disruption order that aims to curtail the acts of an individual.
These could be civil orders - like the Asbo-type orders that we're familiar with, which ban people from a particular activity - but breaching them is a criminal offence which can carry a significant custodial sentence.
A spokesman for the Office of the Chief Rabbi in the UK said: "The Belz Chasidic dynasty has contributed significantly to the rich tapestry of our tradition but this particular view is entirely removed from mainstream Jewish practice."
Labour said its shadow women and equalities minister, Gloria De Piero, had written to the Equalities and Human Rights Commission asking them to investigate the lawfulness of the driving ban.
The official manufacturing purchasing managers' index (PMI) dropped to 49.7 from 50 in July.
A figure below 50 indicates contraction.
The weak data is likely to add to global concerns over China's economy losing steam and could send Asian and global shares down further.
A separate private Caixin/Markit index also released on Tuesday puts the PMI number even weaker, at 47.3, the weakest reading since 2009.
The fresh economic data is also likely to undermine efforts by Beijing to reassure investors and calm markets.
Chinese mainland stocks have been on a steep downward slope over the past months, shedding almost 40% since June.
Authorities have injected money into the markets, allowed the state pension fund to start buying up shares and lowered lending rates.
So far though, none of those measures have managed to push the markets back into positive territory and analysts have warned that the more Beijing's intervention fails to have an impact, the more likely it is that future ones will be shrugged off by investors.
China has also cracked down on people accused of spreading online "rumours", and who the authorities say have been "destabilising the market".
Sinfield played more than 500 games for Leeds between 1997 and 2015, and spent a year with rugby union side Yorkshire Carnegie before retiring in May.
The 35-year-old's new role includes helping create the England team's four-year plan for the 2021 World Cup.
He will also work with the RFL's commercial team to help players find new careers after their retirement.
"The 20 years Kevin has spent as a player at the very highest level of the game will provide us with incredible insight," RFL chief executive Nigel Wood said.
"He is determined to make as much of a difference off the pitch to the sport as he did on it."

Eight-year-old Saros Endris and his sister Leanor, six, died following the blaze at their home on Holland Road, in Hamstead, Birmingham, on 28 October.
Mohammed Endris, 46, was found with life-threatening injuries in a fire-damaged car in Staffordshire the same day. He was arrested in November.
He appeared before magistrates on Wednesday in a hospital gown.
More updates on this and other stories in Birmingham and the Black Country
Mr Endris, also of Holland Road, was charged on Tuesday after his release from hospital, West Midlands Police said.
He stood in the dock at Walsall Magistrates' Court - also accused of the attempted murder of the children's mother Penil Teklehaimanot - with a bandage on his head.
The siblings were pronounced dead at hospital after they were found at their home in Holland Road.
Post-mortem examinations were carried out and forensic tests are ongoing to establish the cause of death, police added.
Their father was remanded in custody to appear at Wolverhampton Crown Court on Friday.
The pictures were taken three weeks after the rebellion against British rule was quashed by troops.
They are the work of the Limerick-born scholar, Thomas Johnson Westropp.
He climbed onto the 121ft high Dublin landmark, Nelson's Pillar, and onto the roofs of surviving buildings to capture aerial images of the bomb damage.
Much of the Irish capital's inner city was reduced to rubble during Easter week 1916, as British troops bombed key buildings from where rebels had launched attacks.
Westropp went to great lengths and even greater heights to document the destruction of the city centre, and to ensure his record was preserved for future reference.
He took the photographs on 17 and 18 May 1916 and quickly archived 40 images in an album called 'Ruined buildings in Dublin after the Sinn Féin rebellion'.
The following month, he presented copies of the album to the Royal Irish Academy (RIA) and Trinity College, Dublin.
His 99-year-old photographs have now been published online by the Digital Repository of Ireland , an internet project led by the RIA.
RIA librarian Siobhan Fitzpatrick paid tribute to Westropp's "archival commitment".
"The fact that he had the images developed, printed and mounted in an album within a week conveys a certain sense of urgency and the fact that he deposited the album with the academy for safe keeping shows his strong archival sense and the importance he placed on preserving the record," she said.
Westropp, who was in his mid 50s at the time, had studied civil engineering at Trinity College before taking a job as a surveyor.
Dr Sharon Webb from the Digital Repository of Ireland said Westropp's approach to documenting the destruction is "representative of his training and of the accuracy and care with which he approached his work".
"When we look beyond the buildings, the rubble, the dust, we get a sense of what it might have been like to stand amongst the chaotic aftermath: photos in the collection depict the clean-up operation, the onlookers, the workers, the British soldiers standing guard, and life getting back to 'normal' as people walk past the ruins," Dr Webb wrote in her blog.
The repository is an online resource dedicated to preserving and disseminating data relating to the island's social and cultural heritage.
Uruguay's Pablo Cuevas was punished for unsportsmanlike conduct after the two incidents in a Wimbledon doubles game.
Partner Marcel Granollers was fined £5,800 for his part in the protest.
The pair lost Monday's third-round match 6-3 4-6 6-4 3-6 14-12 to Britain's Jonny Marray and Adil Shamasdin of Canada.
Cuevas was refused permission for a toilet break by umpire Aurelie Tourte, so threatened to relieve himself in a ball can on court - leading to his first code violation.
His second came when he hit the ball out of the court in frustration after double-faulting, which prompted his sit-down protest with Spaniard Granollers.
A supervisor had to be called to get the match started again and play was delayed for 10 minutes.
Cuevas was fined £3,100 and £3,850 for the separate incidents.

Each said it would withdraw legal complaints against the other and ask for leniency in continuing cases.
A war has been raging between the South Korean companies, including a battle over claims that LG staff damaged Samsung washing machines.
South Korean prosecutors refused to comment on proceedings against employees of both firms.
"Both sides have agreed to avoid legal action and resolve any future conflicts or disputes through dialogue and mutual agreement," the companies said.
Their accord raises the prospect of peace between the firms. But it does not officially resolve criminal cases brought by prosecutors.
LG appliances chief Jo Seong-jin has been indicted by Seoul prosecutors on a charge of deliberately damaging Samsung washing machines at a retail store in Germany last September.
While Samsung employees have been indicted on charges of stealing organic light-emitting diode (Oled) display panel technology from LG.
Each company has said, however, that it will withdraw its complaint and ask for leniency on behalf of the other.
The two firms have a longstanding and fierce rivalry. The bad feeling escalated when Samsung said that LG executives deliberately damaged its washing machines ahead of a major trade fair.
LG accepted that two machines were damaged, but said it was accidental and a result of poor manufacturing.
It said its employees examined the goods and that it offered to pay for four machines at one store, even though only two were damaged by them during the inspection.
After Samsung asked South Korean prosecutors to get involved, LG published surveillance video footage in an attempt to prove its employees' innocence. Samsung said the video had been heavily edited in the executive's favour.
The firms had previously argued over refrigerator capacity and which of the two has the bigger air-conditioning market share.
The agreement extends to Samsung Electronics subsidiary Samsung Display and to LG Display Co Ltd. Samsung Display employees were indicted in February on charges of stealing organic light-emitting diode (Oled) display panel technology from LG Display.
Samsung Display has said the technology was widely known in the industry and that the indictment was excessive.
The Seoul Central District Prosecutors' office declined to comment on the case against the LG Electronics appliances chief, and the Suwon District Prosecutors' Office declined to comment regarding its case against the Samsung Display employees.
A demonstration of the machinery needed to harvest the plant, usually regarded as a nuisance by landowners, was held near Blair Atholl last week,
Scottish Land & Estates, a body representing estate owners and farmers, helped to organise the event in the Cairngorms National Park.
The study is looking at the possibility of establishing a biofuel plant.
The business Oakland Biofuels is involved in the research.
If the project goes ahead, 70 jobs could be created, with half of the posts involved in harvesting bracken and the rest in the operation of the fuel processing plant.
Douglas MacAdam, of Scottish Land & Estates, told BBC Alba: "Bracken is a bit of a scourge.
"It is a problem across Scotland and we have got to find ways of controlling it."
He said rather than destroying bracken by spraying it, it could be cut and processed.
A panel of three judges at the Court of Appeal in London rejected Will Cornick's bid.
Cornick stabbed Mrs Maguire, 61, seven times as she taught a Spanish class at Corpus Christi Catholic College in Leeds in April.
Mrs Maguire had taught there for more than 40 years and was due to retire.
At Leeds Crown Court in November, the 16-year-old was warned he might never be released from prison by a judge who found his pride and lack of remorse over his actions "truly grotesque".
Passing sentence, Mr Justice Coulson told Cornick, who was 15 at the time of the killing, that he must serve at least 20 years before he is eligible to seek parole but warned him: "It's quite possible that day may never come."
A panel of three judges at the Court of Appeal in London, headed by the Lord Chief Justice Lord Thomas, rejected Cornick's appeal against the minimum term.
They said the sentencing judge came to "entirely the right decision".
In a statement read to the court during Cornick's trial, Mrs Maguire's widower Don described the attack as a "monumental act of cowardice and evil".
Her sister Denise Courtenay said: "We will never recover from this pain and anguish.
"No amount of punishment can compensate us for what we have lost."
Following Mrs Maguire's death on 28 April last year, flowers and messages pinned on the fences outside the school gates stretched for more than 100 metres, and a memorial service at Leeds Town Hall was attended by 1,200 people.
Pools boss Craig Hignett was sent to the stand by referee Gavin Ward for his protests following the award of the spot-kick for a foul on substitute Jimmy Spencer by Toto Nsiala.
Former Plymouth winger Nathan Thomas put Pools 1-0 up from a deceptive 21st-minute cross-shot from the left that looped over back-pedalling goalkeeper Luke McCormick and into the top corner.
Argyle had penalty appeals turned away by Ward in the 29th minute when Lewis Hawkins appeared to lead with his hand while diving to clear Graham Carey's cross.
Carey was then denied by a superb Trevor Carson save in the 42nd minute as the goalkeeper flung himself to tip over the play-maker's top corner-bound free-kick.
Spencer's header flew just wide of the far post in the 66th minute and Pools countered with skipper Nicky Featherstone's 20-yarder, which deflected inches wide.
Following Jervis' equaliser, Pools defender Scott Harrison was sent off for a second bookable offence in the first of six minutes of stoppage time but there was little time for Argyle to find a winner.

Courtney Tulloch, 21, won Britain's first major international rings medal with silver at the event in Romania.
Olympic champion Eleftherios Petrounias claimed gold, 0.367 ahead of Tulloch.
Ellie's older sister Becky Downie, 25, was unable to defend her uneven bars title as she fell during her routine and needed medical attention.
Her participation in Sunday's beam final looks in doubt, with fellow Briton Claudia Fragapane set to take her place should she withdraw.

"I mainly just felt gutted for her - she worked so hard and the won I bronze is for her and me," Ellie told BBC Sport.
"The bars bronze was just so unexpected and if Becky had gone through her routine I'm sure she would've knocked me into fourth."
Downie tied for third alongside Eli Seitz of Germany as Belgium's Nina Derwael took gold and Russia's Elena Eremina silver.
It was the third medal for the 17-year-old Briton in as many finals, having also claimed silver in the vault final earlier on Saturday.
Downie produced two solid vaults to lead with an average of 14.350, only to be pipped by the final competitor, Coline Devillard of France, with Hungary's Boglarka Devai in third.
"I was really happy with the vault - I was in first until the last girl and she full deserved it," Downie added.
"Her vaults were definitely tidier than mine so I was happy to let her have that title."

On Friday, Downie became the first British gymnast to win all-around gold at a major international championship and will also compete in the beam and floor finals on Sunday.
Tulloch continued an impressive championships for a largely inexperienced British men's team, which contains none of the competitors from the Rio Olympics, following James Hall's all-around bronze on Friday.
He scored 15.066 to move into second with only one athlete remaining and held on to silver place as Turkey's Ibrahim Colak could only finish fifth, with Ukraine's Igor Radivilov claiming bronze.
Dubbed "Dad's Army" on account of their advanced age, the gang stole £14m worth of goods from the safety deposit.
They received prison sentences of six and seven years in March.
Nip Tuck's Joely Richardson, Downton Abbey's Matthew Goode, Game of Thrones' Clive Russell and True Blood's Stephen Moyer are also in the cast.
The film, directed and co-written by Ronnie Thompson, has begun shooting and will be released later this year.
It also features David Calder, who appeared in Lady in the Van, Sarah-Jane Crawford and Mark Harris.
The movie is one of three being made about the robbery.
Screen Daily reported in January The Hatton Garden Job was being made by Working Title Films and in May it said The Hatton Garden Heist was being directed by Gabe Turner.
The attackers forced open the door of a house at Moore Street at about 20:00 BST on Thursday and assaulted the 23-year-old man.
He did not need hospital treatment. Police said the men gave the appearance of being armed, although no weapon was seen.
No reason for the attack was mentioned. It is believed they left in a vehicle.
Police have appealed for witnesses.
One bay on another ward at the site near Melrose has also been closed to admissions.
NHS Borders said the situation was being managed by its infection prevention and control team.
Visiting the department has been "strongly discouraged" and anyone who has had symptoms of the virus in the past 48 hours should stay away.
Dr Tim Patterson, consultant in public health medicine, said: "Norovirus is one of the most common causes of diarrhoea and vomiting illness.
"It is very infectious, spreads quickly between people and can start abruptly and spread quickly through communities.
"It is vital to protect yourselves and your loved ones from catching this unpleasant virus.
"Patients, visitors and staff can help minimise the spread by complying with instructions given by staff and paying attention to the signs at the entrances to the hospital and wards."
Ahead of this month's poll, he said he would opt for a Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP) candidate ahead of the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP).
But that decision was criticised by some members of his own party both before and after election day.
The UUP lost six seats in the election.
It held 16 seats out of 108 in the last assembly mandate, but that figure dropped to 10 in the new 90-seater chamber.
Mr Nesbitt was returned as an MLA in the Strangford constituency, but will soon resign from his position as party leader in the wake of the party's electoral performance.
In his first TV interview since the election, he told the BBC's The View programme that the election "didn't go well in terms of seats".
But he said that his decision to give a vote to a nationalist was "a small gesture" after sharing several months in opposition at Stormont with the SDLP, and the reaction to it was largely "positive".
He blamed his party's losses on remarks made about republicans by DUP leader Arlene Foster, in which she compared Sinn Féin to a "crocodile" early in the election campaign, suggesting that "it will keep coming back for more" if its demands were satisfied.
Unionists lost their majority in the assembly after the election.
The DUP marginally held on to its position as Northern Ireland's largest party, but Sinn Féin made significant gains, narrowing the gap in seat numbers between the two parties.
"That crocodile comment really did serve as a lightning rod that incredibly energised nationalists and republicans," Mr Nesbitt said.
"That was the real quote of the election and the real consequence was the result that put Sinn Féin just a seat behind the DUP.
"I did not energise a single one of those additional voters."
Mr Nesbitt also said that the DUP is "promoting a unionism of domination", which is a "shortcut to a united Ireland".
A "moderate way forward" between the Ulster Unionists and the SDLP was "his only vision".
"I've got nothing else to offer," he added.
The former journalist said he will stay on in politics as an MLA and has "no intention of leaving early".
And he dismissed suggestions that he could become the assembly's new speaker, saying that was "extremely unlikely".
He told the BBC Labour would "not be the party I joined" if Mr Corbyn won in September and the party needed a "credible" alternative prime minister.
Mr Corbyn, who has the most nominations from constituency Labour parties, is to detail more of his policies this week.
He will reportedly spell out a plan to end "political and economic austerity" by 2020 through higher public spending.
The Guardian said Mr Corbyn was expected to elaborate on his plans for a fairer Britain and a more highly-skilled workforce through the "sound economics of public investment".
The leadership contest - in which Andy Burnham, Yvette Cooper and Liz Kendall are also standing - has been turned on its head by the performance of Mr Corbyn, the veteran left-wing MP who only got enough nominations from MPs after a number who did not back him decided to nominate him to "broaden debate" during the contest.
He has topped two early opinion polls and won the backing of four major unions but his growing popularity has prompted a backlash from senior figures in the party, ranging from Tony Blair to Lord Kinnock.
Mr Leslie, who became shadow chancellor in the wake of May's election defeat, said the leadership contest was a "fork in the road" for the opposition and that the party faced a decade out of power if Mr Corbyn prevailed.
Mr Leslie said there was a yearning within Labour for "big, bold" solutions but Mr Corbyn's policy of a so-called "people's quantitative easing" risked creating higher inflation and interest rates, placing a financial burden on poorer people.
"Some of the solutions offered on the hard-left are not all that they are cracked up to be," he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme. "In fact, they risk hurting some of the most poor, vulnerable and those on the lowest incomes."
Economic credibility "wasn't just about winning elections", he said, but "making sure you can say where the money is coming from for those better public services".
Mr Leslie, who was closely involved in shaping Labour's economic policy under Ed Miliband, said "on principle" he did not think he could serve in a shadow cabinet under Mr Corbyn although he vowed to remain in the party.
"It would be a very different political party (if Mr Corbyn won)," he argued. "It would not be the party I joined."
Mr Corbyn has said he will reintroduce elections for the shadow cabinet, which were scrapped by Mr Miliband. This means all MPs will have to decide whether to put themselves forward.
Ballot papers for the leadership election will be sent out on 14 August, with the result announced on 12 September.
The incident happened about 250m north of the Ballat Crossroads at about 07:30.
The A81 was closed between Ward Toll and Ballat Crossroads for several hours but later reopened.
Police said they were keen to trace the driver of a medium-sized black vehicle that was seen in the area at the time.

GB trailed 84-83 with 24 seconds remaining and stole the ball, but missed a shot and a free throw, with Greece's four free throws sealing the game.
Dan Clark had 23 points to lead GB's scoring, with Gabe Olaseni and Luke Nelson adding 20 and 13 points respectively.
The defeat is GB's fifth in their warm-up games for next month's EuroBasket finals.
On a four-game losing streak after a 72-68 behind-closed-doors loss on Friday to their visitors, GB looked eager to make a mark early, but had to come from behind to share the first quarter 22-22.
Greece were missing four regulars, including NBA star Giannis Antetokounmpo and two other starters, but their wealth of talent - almost the entire squad plays in the continent's top league, the Euroleague - meant they were still tough opponents for head coach Joe Prunty's team.
That showed in the second quarter as centre George Papagiannis, fed by classy point guard Kostas Sloukas, ignited a 10-0 run for a 32-25 lead before Gabe Olaseni and newcomer Luke Nelson brought GB back to lead briefly, 40-39 on Nelson's assured three-pointer.
Down by two points at the break, GB slipped further behind before a storming 14-1 run, inspired by veteran Kieron Achara, brought GB a 65-59 lead at the end of the third quarter.
The return of Sloukas and increased defensive intensity gave the visitors an 11-0 start to the final quarter.
GB set up the chance of an unlikely win with a run of five unanswered point in the last two minutes, but Nelson's drive and shot missed, and when Andrew Lawrence missed a free throw with six seconds remaining, Greece escaped to another win over their hosts.
GB now travel to Warsaw for next weekend's final warm-up tournament before taking the flight to Istanbul for their EuroBasket opener against Belgium on 1 September.
Clark, whose 23 points was his biggest haul in five games this summer, was frustrated with the outcome.
"It's a great test for us to play against a team like that but we should have won today," he told BBC Sport.
"I think we're on the right track, but the biggest thing now is learning how to win.
"It sounds stupid, but there is a process at the end of the game that they do and we don't do, to win games. And we've got to learn how to do that."
Michel Barnier also said more work needs to be done to protect cross-Irish border co-operation "in particular".
He was speaking at the end of the second week of Brexit negotiations with the UK in Brussels on Thursday.
He described north-south co-operation in Ireland as being "embedded in the common framework of EU law".
Mr Barnier added that the EU needs to better understand how the UK intends to ensure the continuation of this co-operation.
North-south relations between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland forms strand two of the Good Friday Agreement, the 1998 deal that agreed a framework for how Northern Ireland should be governed.
Stand two is overseen by the North South Ministerial Council (NSMC).
There are also six all-Ireland implementation bodies, which include the Special European Union Programmes Body, which oversees EU-funded cross-border programmes.
Mr Barnier said there was also agreement that, in the next round of talks, the UK should clarify how it intends to maintain the common travel area (CTA).
The CTA is a bilateral UK-Ireland arrangement that has existed since 1922 and allows for free movement of UK and Irish citizens between the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland the rest of the UK.
It also allows Irish and UK citizens to access various services and benefits in each country such as the right to work, to access public services and to vote in certain elections.
Brexit Secretary David Davis has previously described the continuation of the CTA as "non-negotiable".
Speaking in Brussels on Thursday, Mr Davis described talks about the EU exit bill as "robust" after Mr Barnier said the UK must say where it stands on the issue before discussions over a trade deal can begin.
Meanwhile, it has emerged that Mr Barnier said that talks on the operation of the Irish border will not happen until next year.
In evidence given to the House of Lords EU committee, he said: "In 2018 we will be working on the specific arrangements for border checks without there being any hard border."
He also gave some insight into what would be considered "sufficient progress" on Irish issues in the first phase of the talks.
He told the committee: "What would be progress? An agreement in the political dialogue group and a common reading of the obligations, and I think we can achieve that by October."
Mr Barnier gave his evidence in Brussels last week, but the transcript has just been published.

The UK has experienced a heatwave recently and today has been the hottest June day for more than forty years.
But what's been causing it and how long will it last?
BBC Weather reporter Simon King has all you need to know.
Amber Rudd said the UK was on track to deliver the promise made by former PM David Cameron to resettle 20,000 Syrian refugees by 2020.
A total of £10m has also been pledged for language tuition to help refugees integrate, the Home Office said.
So far about 2,800 Syrians have arrived in the UK, latest figures suggest.
The fighting between Syrian government forces, opposition rebel groups and so-called Islamic State militants has caused 4.5 million Syrians to flee their homes, according to the UN refugee agency.
"Securing the 20,000 pledges within 12 months is testament to the immense goodwill and generosity of the British people and the effort and determination of local authorities across the UK.
"We are on track and delivering our commitment to help the most vulnerable Syrians displaced by the conflict," Ms Rudd said.
The additional funding for English language training will mean all adults arriving through the scheme will receive an extra 12 hours a week of tuition, for up to six months, the Home Office said.
Under the government's Vulnerable Persons Relocation Scheme the government will pay £8,500 per refugee in the first year towards housing, healthcare and other costs - but this figure tapers down to £1,000 by the fifth year.
The charity Refugee Action has welcomed Ms Rudd's comments but the UK "must go further and faster", said its chief executive, Stephen Hale.
"The devastating war in Syria continues. The government should go beyond the commitment to resettle 20,000 Syrians made one year ago."
But he added: "Whether we bring one or 100,000 we've got to do the best for those people.
"We've got to integrate them to help them rebuild their lives. In our long experience of supporting refugees from many different countries the critical issue is their ability to speak English.
"If you can learn English you can speak to your neighbour, you can speak to your GP, you can get into the job market. There has been huge frustration from refugees from many countries that there is a shortage of English language classes. They all, whatever nationality they are, want to learn English."
A spokesman for the Local Government Association, which represents more than 300 councils in England and Wales, said the focus must now be on ensuring Syrian families are matched to the right placements.
"Councils will be helping to support some of the most vulnerable families fleeing Syria who will need ongoing support from health and social care services to cope with injuries, disabilities and to recover from the severe trauma they have experienced," he said.

It employs 250 staff and operates more than 40 Newport Bus services in Newport, Cardiff and Cwmbran.
The industrial action is due to take place on Tuesday, 19 July.
In a statement, the company said: "We have made a number of pay increase offers to our staff. Sadly, these offers, including our latest improved pay increase, have been rejected."
The company said it would try to operate as many services as possible if the planned action went ahead.
Meanwhile, 320 staff have lost their jobs after Wrexham-based bus company GHA Coaches announced it had gone into administration.
It is part of plans to release government papers after 20 years instead of the current 30 year rule.
The 1987 papers show the then Secretary of State Tom King recommended the closure of Harland and Wolff shipyard.
The details were contained in some of the almost 700 files released on Friday by the Public Records Office (PRONI).
In 1987, the Belfast shipyard was in major financial difficulties.
Eventually the yard was saved by a management and employee buy-out.
The 1987 papers also reveal that the Irish government was keen to see the demolition of the Divis Flats complex in west Belfast.
They believed it would reduce support for the IRA.
And some papers detail the security measures around the trial of several IRA members who had escaped from the Maze Prison a few years earlier.
1987 also saw the continuation of the unionist campaign of civil disobedience against the 1985 Anglo-Irish Agreement.
The year began with the launch, by Ian Paisley and Jim Molyneaux, of a petition to Queen Elizabeth calling for a referendum on the agreement.
On 14 February, the document, containing 400,000 signatures, was handed in at Buckingham Palace.
It was duly referred to the NI Secretary of State, Tom King, who rejected its central demand.
June saw the return of the Conservative government under Margaret Thatcher in the UK general election.
The chief beneficiary in Northern Ireland was the SDLP, which increased its vote at the expense of Sinn Féin and succeeded in unseating UUP MP Enoch Powell in South Down.
More than 100 files from 1987 remain closed, the majority of which are individual prisoner files.
Graham Jackson from the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland said: "Annually since 1976, official records held by PRONI which were 30 years old have been reviewed with a view to making them publicly available ("the 30 year rule").
"In September 2011, the NI Assembly accepted a Legislative Consent Motion to reduce the time limit for release from 30 years to 20 years ("the 20 year Rule").
"The 20 year rule is being phased in over 10 years, with two years worth of records being reviewed and released each year.
"This is the third year of the phasing-in period; which see the records of the NI departments and the NIO with terminal dates of 1987 brought forward for review and release in August 2015 and the records with terminal dates of 1988 brought forward in December 2015." | Boss John Coleman has warned Accrington may not be able to repeat a promotion challenge in League Two next season.

The National Trust will hand the keys to Parc Farm on the top of Great Orme, near Llandudno, Conwy county, to 38-year-old Dan Jones from Anglesey.
It stepped in to protect the land last year as it was on sale as a potential site for a golf course.
The site has rare habitats and species - some of which the charity said existed nowhere else on Earth.
"I couldn't quite believe it when I got the call to say I was successful. I was in shock," said Mr Jones.
"My wife Ceri, son Efan and I are just super excited. This opportunity will change our lives.
"Y Parc is a dream farm, it is such a beautiful location, the views are amazing and I'm really looking forward to farming in a different way to make a difference for nature.
"With the tenancy at just £1, it allows us to be able to farm far less intensively, focus on improving the habitats, share more of what we'll be doing with visitors and still produce great food."
This is not the first time Mr Jones, who farms 1,000 sheep on Anglesey, has won a National Trust search.
Two years ago, he was given the role of support shepherd on the slopes of Snowdon for the National Trust.
William Greenwood, National Trust general manager, said: "All applicants had to show how they could make the farm work with a clear vision and business plan, and explain how they could use their knowledge and experience to implement a specific grazing regime as a written application.
"These applications were measured against a strict set of criteria and only the top seven were shortlisted for interview."
The best candidates then faced practical assessments and had to do presentations in front of a panel.
Mr Greenwood added: "We are convinced that in Dan and Ceri, we found that elusive combination of skills and experience we were looking for, and have a couple who view a productive farm as one which maintains healthy wildlife and encourages visitors to act for nature, as well as produce good, healthy food."

Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale and Aston Villa defender Neil Taylor are suspended for the game in Belgrade and have not been included in Coleman's squad.
MK Dons defender Joe Walsh, Wolves midfielder Lee Evans and Liverpool forward Ben Woodburn are other uncapped players in the squad.
Woodburn is joined in the squad by Liverpool team-mate Harry Wilson, Wales' youngest ever international player.
Ampadu made his professional debut in August 2016 and was named Wales' young player of the year in November,
He was on a standby list for Wales' World Cup qualifier against the Republic of Ireland in March.
Defender Jones spent the second half of the 2016-17 season on loan at Championship side Barnsley, where he made 17 appearances.
The 21-year-old was born in Perth, Australia, and the Socceroos have been keen to bring the Porthmadog-raised youngster on board.
However, Wales boss Chris Coleman says the defender is 'fully committed' to Wales.
Lewisham-born Watkins, 26, scored 10 goals for Barnsley during the 2016-17 Championship season but has rejected a new deal with the Tykes.
Watkins, who started his career as a youth player at Swansea City and has also played for Inverness Caledonian Thistle, is the grandson of Welsh poet Vernon Watkins.

Savers can now cash in their pension pot from the age of 55.
When the access was permitted for the first time last year, people were taking out sums averaging close to £20,000.
The latest tax authority figures show typical withdrawals have fallen to about £10,000.
This is evidence of retirees using the pension reforms to cash in smaller pension pots or taking part of their savings in cash while leaving the rest invested in a scheme.
Previous research has suggested that the most popular use of the cash is for home improvements.
Since April 2015, those aged 55 and over have been able to cash in their pension pot, assuming, in most cases, that they have not already bought an annuity (a retirement income).
In doing so, they pay no tax on the first 25% of these funds, but pay the normal rate of tax on the rest. Other options include buying an annuity or drawing down an income from their pension pot.
A total of £7.6bn has been withdrawn since the rules changed. The latest figures from HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) show that 158,000 people accessed £1.54bn from their pension pots over the last three months.
This is a very similar total as the first three months after the reforms, but when only 84,000 people accessed their cash.
Simon Kirby, economic secretary to the Treasury, said: "These figures prove that allowing people to do what they with their hard-earned savings, whether it's buying an annuity or taking a cash lump sum, is the right thing to do."
Commentators in the industry suggest that there are some traps for retirees.
"It appears we have reached a steady level of people exercising their pension freedoms to take on average £10,000 out of their pension pots. That is enough to push someone on basic state pension into the next tax band, and almost certainly is for those who are still working," said Stephen Lowe, of provider Just Retirement.
"The risk of triggering an unexpected tax bill, of being faced with complex product choices and of being subjected to increasing scamming activity requires people to get more help."
AJ Bell senior analyst Tom Selby said: "The pension freedom reforms were designed to both boost flexibility and make pensions more attractive. At the moment, the barometer of success seems to be focused purely on withdrawal rates, whereas the real success will be whether people are saving more."
He said that fraud losses in the period following the introduction of pension reforms could be higher than initial estimates.
Previously, it was thought some £10.6m of pension fraud losses had been reported to City of London Police in the six months after April 2015. The updated figure has been revised up to £13.3m, 25% higher than the original estimate.
Stallone says Demolition Man made at least $125m at the box office, and under his deal with the studio, he is entitled to at least 15% of that.
His lawsuit says "motion picture studios are notoriously greedy" and Warner Bros "sat on the money owed" for years "without any justification".
Warner Bros has not commented on the legal action.
Stallone's legal papers say his representatives raised the issue of owed money with Warner Bros in 2014 but were told by the film company that they didn't have to pay him anything because Demolition Man had lost $66.9m.
He queried this, and in April 2015 the studio sent Stallone a cheque for $2.8m.
The lawsuit alleges: "WB just sat on the money owed to [Stallone's company] Rogue Marble for years and told itself, without any justification, that Rogue Marble was not owed any profits."
In the lawsuit, which was filed at Los Angeles Superior Court, the star is seeking a full accounting of the film's proceeds, in addition to interest and damages.
The legal action also seeks "an end to this practice for all talent who expect to be paid by WB for the fruits of their labour".
Stallone starred in Demolition Man alongside Wesley Snipes. They played a cop and criminal who are cryogenically frozen and then brought back to life in the future into a world without crime.

Today, the story of Robert the Robot is little known, even in the Northamptonshire town where he was once a celebrity.
Yet in the 1930s, his fame reached as far as Czechoslovakia and the United States, where he even featured in Time magazine.
And the reason he came to be?
"Someone bet me £5 I could not make a robot in three weeks," inventor Charles Lawson, who had a radio shop, told a newspaper at the time.
"I won."
The electrical engineer's creation first hit headlines in the Northamptonshire Evening Telegraph, which proclaimed: "Kettering robot 'enjoys' smoke."
The article from March 1939 proclaimed the android could do "practically everything that a human being can do", even crediting him with the "ability of mind reading".
"You may pick up a card from a pack and the robot will tell you the card you have chosen," it read.
"It has a sense of humour too, for when Mr Lawson was bending down to examine its leg he received a slap on the face."
So how did he function? Frustratingly, it is not entirely clear.
The only remaining evidence for his existence are a selection of photographs and Robert himself disappeared from view after World War Two.
Mr Lawson's son David, an 84-year-old retired farmer, remembers "wires and gears, a maze of chains and electronics" inside the robot's 10ft-tall frame.
He said his father had built a prototype in 1938, which he had installed in Kettering's Temperance Hall.
The robot had a microphone and speaker in its head and hidden assistants would surprise the unsuspecting people walking past.
"They (the assistants) would be looking down at people passing by and suddenly say something about someone's pink hat," he said.
His father then moved on to the more advanced Robert, who could move his arms and hands.
"It used to light its own cigarettes. It even directed the traffic in Kettering," David Lawson said.
"It even used to tell fortunes and he took it to the seaside, including trips to Blackpool. [My father] got obsessed with it."
Robert was one of the first robots seen in the UK. The very term robot was less than 20 years old, having been coined by Czech writer Karel Capek in his 1920 play RUR.
The first British robot is believed to have been constructed in 1928 and was called Eric. He was subsequently rebuilt and is on display at the Science Museum in London.
Noel Sharkey, professor of robotics at Sheffield University and head judge on BBC Two's Robot Wars, said it was most likely Robert was a similar construction to Elektro, a robot made by US power company Westinghouse in 1937 for the New York World's Fair in 1939.
"As is claimed for the Charles Lawson robot, it could walk, talk, smoke and count," he said.
"The robot relied on a combination of motors, photoelectric cells, telephone relays and a record player to perform 26 pre-programmed routines, each one initiated by voice commands from a human co-star.
"Smoking was done using automated bellows which were also a feature of 19th Century automatons.
"Remember that this type of robot did not have access to a computer and so talking was done using a triggering mechanism for a record player playing old 78 RPM bakelite records."
Science fiction was in vogue in the 1930s - serials such as Flash Gordon were popular in the cinemas - and Robert became a huge media sensation, drawing the attention of English newspapers.
His story was then syndicated abroad where it was eagerly reported by the foreign press.
The entry in one Czech newspaper, under the headline Robot Friend of the Children, read: "In the English town of Kettering a robot often appears in the streets, it strides, sits down, smoke and speaks.
"The steel servant is an invention of C. Lawson, once an electric tramway employee. The robot has a sound apparatus in its head.
"Every move of the robot is followed, chiefly by the crowd of young folk, especially when he is on point duty."
Mr Lawson tried to capitalise on Robert's fame, exhibiting him around the country. His son said he eventually sold him to a pier showman in Blackpool shortly before the start of World War Two.
Despite several attempts to trace him, Robert's whereabouts remain unknown. But it seems possible he enjoyed a post-war career as a seaside attraction before disappearing into obscurity.
Tony Sharkey, head of local history at Blackpool library, said robots often appeared in sideshows during the 1950s, including one from South Africa called Magna.
"From images I've seen it appears to have been very different [to Robert]. The show included illusions and the robot would mind read and tell people what they were wearing."
Mr Lawson sold his shop in the 1960s and retired, but although he was "quiet man" he would talk to people about his robots if asked.
He died in 2002 in Kettering, aged 96.
"It is only recently when I've thought about the complexity of the robot that I realised how clever he was," his son said.
The leading university says the exams provide a "strong measure of applicants' recent academic progress".
AS-levels were brought in under reforms introduced in 2000, when traditional two-year A-levels were split in half.
But from 2015 in England, AS-levels are due to be split into a separate qualification from A-levels.
Currently, pupils sit AS-levels in the first year of the sixth form (Year 12) and A2s in the second; the scores are combined to form a final grade.
Under controversial reforms announced by the former Education Secretary, Michael Gove, traditional two-year A-levels with end-of-course exams will be brought back in.
A-level candidates will no longer sit exams after one year and will instead be tested at the end of their two-year course and the AS-levels will become a separate qualification.
Cambridge is urging schools to enter students for the exams, saying they are a "robust indicator of student progress".
In the letter to schools and sixth forms, Dr Mike Sewell, director of admissions for the Cambridge colleges, says: "We strongly encourage potential applicants to take AS-level examinations in at least three, and preferably four, subjects, whether reformed or not, at the end of Year 12.
"This will provide us with a strong measure of applicants' recent academic progress, will assist us and the students in judging whether an application to Cambridge is likely to be competitive, and will provide reassurance that grade predictions are not relied upon too heavily in a new system.
"AS-levels taken in four subjects can provide an extremely useful, externally assessed exam that will avoid schools and colleges having to resource and run their own internal mocks."
The letter says AS-levels help students choose three subjects for Year 13 - if they are dropping one - in an informed way.
They also provide encouragement in advance of university applications for "bright but under-confident" candidates, as well as providing them with recent public exam results to boost their applications.
"Our admission goal remains to select the best students, regardless of their educational regime," Dr Sewell concludes.
"We are committed to ensuring that no student is disadvantaged within our processes by the model of provision offered by their educational institution."
The plan to decouple AS-levels has proved controversial, with universities, head teachers and MPs raising concerns.
Cambridge has previously warned that for admission to its courses, AS-levels are the best predictor of how well a student will perform in every subject except maths, and argued that the move risks damaging a decade's-worth of work to encourage more disadvantaged teenagers to study at the institution.
Ministers have argued that universities learn little more from knowing teenagers' AS-level results in addition to GCSE grades and have insisted the reform should not affect university admissions.
Labour has indicated that it would reverse the move, which would mean AS-levels would remain linked to A-levels.
Martin Doel, chief executive of the Association of Colleges, said: "A third of all A-level students study in further education and sixth form colleges and they consistently tell us that AS-levels are vital indicators to student performance.
"Therefore Cambridge University is absolutely right to lead the calls for their retention. The whole education system should be working together to protect these valuable qualifications."
A Department for Education spokeswoman said decoupling AS-level from A-level would end "the routine of automatic, external assessment of students at the end of Year 12.
"Removing this unnecessary burden from teachers and students means young people will have more time to study the fundamental concepts of a subject rather than sit through an endless treadmill of exams.
"Students will still be able to sit an AS before deciding whether to take a subject at A-level, but will no longer be required to do so."
Dame Eileen Atkins, Catherine Tate and Nigel Havers are among the actors forming the jury for the fictional trial, which comes to an end on Sunday.
Graham Seed, who played Nigel Pargetter for 27 years on the BBC Radio 4 soap, will also voice one of the characters.
Helen faces charges of attempting to murder her husband Rob.
The week-long trial, moments from which have been illustrated by court artist Julia Quenzler, also saw her charged with wounding with intent over the incident, in which Rob was stabbed.
It will be the first time in The Archers' 65-year history that a single episode has been extended to an hour.
Sean O'Connor, outgoing editor of the programme, said a "fantastic cross-section of British acting talent from radio, TV, stage and film" had come together to make the jury.
He said: "Everybody we approached agreed to take part with such enthusiasm - some without even reading the script - wanting to be part of this unique moment in the history of the programme."
Havers said: "There were three things I wanted to do as an actor. Play Max de Winter in Rebecca - tick.
"Be in Coronation Street - tick. Do an episode of The Archers - big tick!"
The stabbing of Rob, broadcast in April, was the culmination of a long-running domestic abuse storyline portrayed by actors Timothy Watson and Louiza Patikas.
Listeners have heard evidence from both sides, building up to the jury's deliberations. They will deliver their verdict at the end of Sunday's programme.
Nigel Pargetter's death was broadcast on 2 January 2011, with the character falling off a roof in an episode marking the 60th anniversary of the soap.
Seed said: "How lovely to be asked back to be in this special episode. An honour! A very different character to play of course, and the challenge was not to sound like lovely old Nigel Pargetter."
O'Connor - who has done jury service three times himself - added: "It was a particular delight for me to ask Graham Seed to take part.
"I know many Archers listeners still miss Nigel Pargetter and it seemed fitting that in my last ever episode of The Archers as director and editor, I could offer Graham an appearance in the programme - without him actually turning up in the shower like Bobby Ewing in Dallas."
Other jurors are played by Rakhee Thakrar, best-known as Shabnam in EastEnders, Skins star Aimee Ffion Edwards, Cerith Flynn, who has appeared in Wolfblood and Strike Back, and Tam Williams, who played Havers' role in the stage version of Chariots of Fire.
Three of the remaining jurors will not speak during the episode, set at Borchester Crown Court, and one has been dismissed for contempt of court.
Thakrar says: "Working on this jury special was an absolute joy. Being part of such an iconic and important story for The Archers was an honour."
The Archers Jury Special will be broadcast on Sunday 11 September at 19:00 BST on BBC Radio 4 and will be available later on iPlayer

Mustafa Abdul Jalil outlined his plans to create a modern democratic state based on "moderate Islam" to thousands of flag-waving supporters in the newly renamed Martyrs' Square.
Earlier, Col Gaddafi vowed in a TV message to fight "until victory".
The whereabouts of the 69-year-old fugitive leader remain unknown.
"All that remains for us is the struggle until victory and the defeat of the coup," Col Gaddafi was cited as saying in a statement read out by a presenter on a loyalist television station.
Although the interim administration has promised the formation of a transitional government in Libya within 10 days, there are still big challenges in stabilising the country, says the BBC's Peter Biles in Tripoli.
Anti-Gaddafi forces now control most of Libya but loyalists are still holding out in the towns of Sirte and Bani Walid, offering fiercer resistance than had been expected.
Meanwhile, Amnesty International has called on the NTC to take steps to prevent human rights abuses by anti-Gaddafi forces.
By Rana JawadBBC News, Tripoli
The speech was short, in contrast with Col Gaddafi's infamously long public addresses. The broad theme was reconciliation. Mr Jalil urged both ordinary Libyans and his fighters to comply with the law and not to take matters into their own hands. He reminded people that not everyone who worked for the Gaddafi regime should be treated with contempt.
Religion is a key issue in conservative Libya. He said the NTC would not accept extreme right- or left-wing ideologies. There have been some calls for secularism from a minority in Benghazi and some technocrats.
The speech appeared to go down well with the thousands of Libyans who had gathered in Martyrs' Square. He was frequently interrupted by applause, whistling and women cheering.
As soon as it ended, there was a barrage of celebratory gunfire, not just in central Tripoli but also in the east of the city. It seemed to reach out to all Libyans and also foreign parties who had helped during the conflict.
The crowd-pleaser
In his first speech since moving to the capital from the NTC stronghold of Benghazi, Mr Jalil told some 10,000 supporters to avoid retribution attacks, adding that Libya's new leaders would not accept any extremist ideology.
"We are a Muslim nation, with a moderate Islam, and we will maintain that. You are with us and support us - you are our weapon against whoever tries to hijack the revolution," he said.
Mr Jalil, who served as Col Gaddafi's justice minister before joining the rebels when the uprising started, said women would play an active role in the new Libya, and thanked a number of nations - including France and Britain - for supporting the NTC.
But he also warned against secularism, envisaging a state "where sharia [Islamic law] is the main source for legislation".
His words, broadcast live on television, were met with rapturous applause, as fireworks illuminated the Tripoli waterfront.
But Mr Jalil and his colleagues still face major hurdles, adds our correspondent, not least because the fugitive leader remains at large.
Many of his inner circle have fled to neighbouring countries such as Algeria or Niger.
Niger's Prime Minister Brigi Rafini said on Monday that Saadi Gaddafi and three of his father's generals were among 32 people who had crossed the lengthy desert border into the West African nation since 2 September.
The NTC has also to quell Gaddafi loyalists who are holding out in the last bastions of support for the fugitive leader inside Libya.

Darfur rebel leader flees Libya
Fighting in Bani Walid south-east of the capital was halted on Monday, with one commander telling the BBC they were waiting for Nato war planes to continue air strikes targeting heavy weapons being used by pro-Gaddafi forces inside the town.
Late on Monday, hundreds of anti-Gaddafi forces had reportedly entered the town through its northern gate - only to be confronted by a barrage of rocket fire and bullets from snipers.
While flat-bed trucks carried fighters down the desert road towards the front line, a few cars sped in the opposite direction, carrying families fleeing the besieged town.
Residents said food and fuel supplies were running short in the town.
Fifteen guards were also killed when pro-Gaddafi forces attacked an oil refinery near the town of Ras Lanuf.
In its latest report, Amnesty International says that while the bulk of violations were carried out by loyalist forces, anti-Gaddafi fighters have also been involved in torture and revenge killings.
Amnesty said a full picture had yet to emerge, but said it had asked Libya's opposition leadership to take steps to rein in its supporters and investigate any abuses, and to combat xenophobia and racism.
"The NTC is facing a difficult task of reining in opposition fighters and vigilante groups responsible for serious human rights abuses, including possible war crimes, but has shown unwillingness to hold them accountable," says the report - entitled The Battle for Libya - Killings, Disappearances and Torture.
Mohammed al-Alagi, a justice minister for Libya's transitional authorities, said the rebels had made mistakes, but said these could not be described as war crimes.
Canadian-Egyptian Mohamed Fahmy and Egyptian Baher Mohamed were led away from court after the verdict.
Australian Peter Greste was deported back to Australia earlier this year and was on trial again in absentia.
The three are accused of aiding the banned Muslim Brotherhood group but they strenuously deny the allegations.
The three journalists were originally sentenced in July 2014, with Mr Greste and Mr Fahmy receiving seven years and Mr Mohamed getting 10 years.
But their convictions were overturned in January this year and they were freed in February to await retrial.
Giving the verdict on Saturday, judge Hassan Farid said the three men were not registered journalists and had been operating from a Cairo hotel without a licence.
He handed three-year sentences to Mr Greste and Mr Fahmy but gave Mr Mohamed an additional six months.
Reaction: Peter Greste speaks to the BBC
It is unclear how long Mr Fahmy and Mr Mohamed will now serve. They were in prison for about a year before being freed.
Lawyers for the three journalists are expected to appeal against the decision.
The BBC's Lyse Doucet, who was in the court, said the verdict came as a shock to a room packed full of Egyptian and foreign journalists.
The expectation was that the journalists would be found guilty, she adds, but that they would be given a lesser sentence and be allowed to walk free.
Mr Greste said in a tweet that he was "shocked" and "outraged" while Al-Jazeera said the verdict was "yet another deliberate attack on press freedom".
Outside the courtroom, Mr Fahmy's lawyer, Amal Clooney, called on Egypt's President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi to issue a pardon to the journalists.
"The verdict today sends a very dangerous message in Egypt," she told reporters. "It sends a message that journalists can be locked up for simply doing their job, for telling the truth and reporting the news."
She said she would push for her client, who has given up his Egyptian citizenship, to be deported to Canada.
In a study of more than 13,000 UK children, five-years-olds were about twice as likely to have asthma if they were not conceived naturally.
The children were also more likely to need medication, which could be an indication of more severe asthma.
The findings were published in the journal Human Reproduction.
The researchers, at the Universities of Oxford and Essex, analysed data from children born between 2000 and 2002.
Researcher Dr Claire Carson said 15% of all the children in the study had had asthma at the age of five, but this proportion had risen to 24% among the 104 of them born through assisted-reproduction technologies.
She said it was interesting that the pattern had emerged, but far too soon to say if IVF treatment resulted in higher rates of asthma. Other explanations, such as genetics, may explain the association.
Dr Carson told the BBC that parents should not be put off IVF.
"Assisted reproduction technologies offer a chance to become a parent when there isn't another option," she said.
"For the majority of children asthma is quite manageable."
Malayka Rahman, from the charity Asthma UK, said: "This study suggests that there might be an association between IVF treatment and asthma developing in children, but the sample size for this study is small and currently the research in this area generally is not conclusive.
"Those considering IVF should speak to their GP about the benefits and health risks in order to make an informed decision."
Deputy Darren Duquemin suggested rebranding as "Guernsey Air" would be more effective in promoting the island.
Deputy Treasury Minister Jan Kuttelwascher said it would be discussed by the Treasury Department, the company's shareholder, on Tuesday.
Mark Darby, the airline's chief executive officer, said changing the airline's 45-year-old name was not currently among their priorities.
This week the States accounts revealed the airline's debts had grown to £12m by the end of 2012.
They also showed the States was guaranteeing a loan of £14.9m for the purchase of two aircraft and a separate £7.8m loan for the Aurigny Group, which is the airline and an aero engineering company.
Deputy Kuttelwascher, a former airline pilot, said the idea was discussed during the last term of government but did not receive much support.
"I'm neutral on the issue," he said. "It's primarily an operational issue for [Aurigny] to decide.
"In the current climate and Aurigny's financial situation, to try to put forward a business case which is acceptable for an expenditure which may or may not result in a benefit would not be an easy thing to do."
Deputy Duquemin said changing stationery and livery would not cost much and the change would ultimately benefit the Bailiwick.
He said: "If we can put 'Guernsey' in big letters on the side of a big, shiny new jet at Gatwick airport... people are going to be impressed that Guernsey has its own airline."
"At the moment, it's almost the island's best kept secret," he said.
He said the rebrand could happen with routine maintenance over a number of years, rather than happening "in one go".
Mark Darby, the airline's chief executive officer, said: "A name change would involve a large investment to rebrand all our aircraft, signage, websites, uniforms, stationery and marketing and there would be re-launch costs too."
He said the idea would "require careful thought by our board and consultation with our shareholder".
Aurigny was purchased by the States in 2003, in order to secure slots at Gatwick and secure the future of flights to and from Guernsey.
It currently competes on the route with Flybe but the Exeter-based airline has announced it will sell its slots to Easyjet and discontinue its services on the route from March.
His first spell in charge was in 2013 and lasted just seven months.
The 54-year-old replaces Henryk Kasperczak, who was sacked in April, after Tunisia were knocked out of the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations in the quarter-finals
He led Tunisian club Esperance to the 2011 African Champions League title and has also spent time in charge of the Kuwait national team.
Maaloul's fist competitive game will be at home to Egypt in a 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.
Niger and Swaziland are the other two teams in Group J for the qualifying campaign to reach Cameroon.
Tunisia are currently joint top with DR Congo of Group A in qualifying for the 2018 World Cup on six points after two matches as they aim to reach the finals for the first time since 2006.
Guinea and Libya are yet to score a point.
The iconic race has £1m in prize money up for grabs but first the 40 horses and jockeys taking part will have to navigate a series of fences including Becher's Brook, The Canal Turn and The Chair.
And it can be anyone's race, as 33-1 Rule the World demonstrated when winning in 2016.

Franck Azema's side scored the first try in the second half with the score at 9-9, Noa Nakaitaci making an overlap count after Remi Lamerat's break.
Camille Lopez fired a drop goal and after a Morgan Parra penalty made it 22-9, Damian Penaud added a late try.
Clermont - twice beaten finalists - will meet Leinster in the last four.
That fixture will take place in Lyon in three weeks' time, while Munster welcome defending champions Saracens to Dublin in the other semi-final.
Of the quartet, only Clermont are yet to win European rugby's most sought-after prize and they looked intent on overcoming a Toulon outfit who beat them in the final in 2013 and 2015.
As number one seeds following an impressive five wins from six matches in the Pool stages, Clermont entered the fixture with a momentum and two early penalty misses by Toulon's returning full-back Leigh Halfpenny helped matters.
Two successful efforts in the first half from the Welshman and two from Parra saw the sides level at 6-6 by the interval, setting up a tense second period at Stade Marcel Michelin.
But Clermont's home support got what they wanted as their side overran their French Top 14 rivals after the break, with Nakaitaci touching down for his fourth try of the tournament, his best return in the competition.
Replacement Penaud raced clear after being released by Nick Abendanon and scrum-half Parra took his tally to 16 points with the conversion.
Clermont Auvergne: Spedding, Nakaitaci, Rougerie, Lamerat, Abendanon, Lopez, Parra, Chaume, Kayser, Zirakashvili, Iturria, Vahaamahina, Chouly, Yato, Lee.
Replacements: Ulugia, Falgoux, Jarvis, Van der Merwe, Cancoriet, Radosavljevic, Fernandez, Penaud.
Toulon: Halfpenny, Mitchell, Bastareaud, Nonu, Habana, Trinh-Duc, Escande, Delboulbes, Guirado, Chilachava, Kruger, Taofifenua, J. Smith, Gill, Vermeulen.
Replacements: Etrillard, Fresia, van der Merwe, Fernandez Lobbe, Belleau, Tuiosva, Tillous-Borde, Manoa.

Many children there are forced to work to make money for their families because the country is very poor.
But there are not enough checks by the government to stop this happening.
Mining can be very dangerous and the children often work very long hours in hot, cramped conditions.
A campaign group called Amnesty International have said today that phone companies are not doing enough to make sure that the cobalt in their phones hasn't come from children working in the mines.
They say this includes very big smartphone companies like Apple, Samsung, and Sony.
The companies say they have a zero tolerance policy towards children working.
Paul, a 14-year-old who lives in Congo, started mining when he was 12. He said: "I would spend 24 hours down in the tunnels. I arrived in the morning and would leave the following morning."
Hurricane Harvey has killed more than 30 people and destroyed thousands of homes.
While the rain has shifted away from Houston, the US's fourth largest city, much remains underwater. The state of Texas is one of the US's main economic engines.
Many firms in the region, a major transport hub that is a home to the oil and gas industry, don't know when they will resume normal operations.
The storm struck at the heart of America's oil and gas industry, knocking a third of all US production offline, closing refineries around the Gulf Coast, and causing major pipelines that move fuel to other markets to shut.
Petrol prices, which increased in anticipation of the storm, are expected to continue to rise, despite additional shipments from overseas. In Texas, shortages at stations in some areas have been reported.
Mansfield Oil Company, a wholesale gas supplier, is trying to bolster its supplies by bringing in fuel by lorry and rail - even ships, depending on the market.
Companies are trying to figure out when they can restart operations.
Colonial Pipeline said it expected to re-open its Houston line by Sunday, but other firms said they didn't know when normal operations would resume.
"Given the unprecedented flooding in the city of Port Arthur, it remains uncertain how quickly the flood waters will recede, so we cannot provide a timeline for restart at this time," said Motiva, which runs one of the biggest refineries. "Our priority remains the safety of our employees and community."
Moody's expects costs to businesses to total $10bn-$15bn, with additional infrastructure costs rising as high as $10bn.
Some damage was already evident.
Fires from organic peroxides were reported at the Crosby plant of chemical company Arkema and more were expected, after flooding overwhelmed the firm's back-up generators and refrigerators designed to keep the materials cool.
The plant was six feet underwater, the company said.
Shutdowns of other facilities have led to releases of pollutants, while water has overwhelmed Houston's sewers. The structural integrity of reservoirs is also being monitored, the White House said.
Partial service has resumed at Houston airports and the port is expected to open for limited business on Friday, but parts of the Houston Ship Channel, which provides access to refineries, remain off-limits.
Other transit networks may take longer to recover as roads and other land remains submerged.
Railroad BNSF, for example, has suspended trains that would have travelled through the region and warned they would not resume for "an extended period".
"I don't even want to speculate," BNSF spokesman Joe Faust said.
The majority of the damage has been felt by families, who are likely to be grappling with the financial hit without insurance.
More than 350,000 people have registered for assistance from the federal government, said the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
More than 37,000 people had also filed claims with the National Flood Insurance Program by mid-Thursday.
Analysts say they expect that number to rise to about 500,000.
But many of the losses will not be covered, which is likely to make it harder for families - and the economy - to bounce back, analysts said.
"A lack of flood insurance for homeowners will prevent the type of full-scale reconstruction effort that might otherwise be expected," Moody' s wrote. "This could have significant long-term ramifications."
The Houston region is responsible for more than $500bn in economic activity annually.
AccuWeather expects the storm to shave a full percentage point off US GDP over 12 months and lead the Federal Reserve to hold off on raising interest rates.
Macroeconomic Advisers is forecasting that lower production as a result of the storm could reduce third quarter GDP by 0.3%-1.2%, depending on how long the recovery takes.
But senior economist Ben Herzon says money spent on reconstruction should help boost the figures in later months.
He's hopeful that the impact will be at the smaller end of the scale.
"I think the economy tends to be very robust and maybe even more robust than is sometimes expected," he said.
For Brive, it was a home game, therefore the Stade Municipal des Sports was both packed and expectant. Brive didn't lose home games. They weren't allowed. That was the law. Townsend had just moved to France from Northampton. It was the summer after the magnificent Lions series win in South Africa and everything in his world was right.
Then his karma was interrupted by fighting.
"Five minutes before we went on the field, I looked up and a fight broke out on my right and on my left. I can still picture it," remembers Townsend.
"Our coach was Laurent Seigne (a former prop from the old school) and he was pushing the forwards against the wall and the experienced ones were pushing him back and it was head-on-head and shirts ripped and blood.
"I was sitting there thinking, 'Right, OK, that's what the forwards do, fair enough.' Before our next home game, Seigne talks to myself and my partner in the centre, the Argentine, Lisandro Arbizu. Seigne says, 'Today, you are forwards'.
"He shouts for both of us to get on the floor and for our pack to run over the top of us so we knew what it felt like to be at the bottom of a ruck. This was minutes before we played a game. I was lying there, not knowing whether to laugh or cry."
Laughter is what he does a lot of as he recalls his years in France. He's sitting in a hotel across from Murrayfield, where on Sunday the nation he represented 82 times will host the country he played in for five seasons at three different clubs - Brive, Castres and Montpellier.
He talks about how it all began, this "exit from the comfort zone" as he calls it. Three clubs were interested in signing him - Brive, Bourgoin and Toulouse. His favourite was Toulouse, the club of Guy Noves, the current French coach, and one of the great bastions of world rugby.
Toulouse had two stand-offs - Christophe Deylaud and Yann Delaigue. The idea, as pitched to Townsend, was that they were going to ship out Deylaud and Delaigue to make room for the marquee Scot. Townsend would be Toulouse's 10.
"I always get upset by the Toulouse thing, because not only did they not offer me a contract in the end but they also said they needed to see footage of me," says Townsend.
"That was a time when you didn't have much footage. All I had was a VHS of me playing for the Lions which our analyst had put together. On that tape was every one of my touches of the ball from South Africa. I said to Toulouse, 'I must get this back because it's a cherished memory', but they lost it."
He went to Brive. It was the summer of 1998 and France was top of the football world. The country was buzzing - a thrilling place to be. Thrilling and very, very different.
Townsend hadn't been in Brive for long when Frenchmen started asking about ghosts. "You're Scottish, Gregor," they'd say. "Many castles. And ghosts? You've seen ghosts?"
He dipped into the deepest recesses of his memory and recalled a visit to Dalhousie Castle, a 13th century pile near Edinburgh said to be haunted by the spirit of a lovelorn teenager. "Oh aye," he replied. "Ghosts. Loads of 'em."
Brive was an education. He learned the language, he embraced the culture, he appreciated the welcome he got in the town - and still does. People would invite him in for coffee when seeing him walking down the street.
"It was a proper rugby town," he says. "A quarter of the population would come and watch us play."
He remembers, on days off, driving the two hours to Toulouse with his wife, Claire, where they could watch a non-dubbed movie in the cinema and where a Marks and Spencer's sold Irn Bru.
"We didn't go especially for the Irn Bru, but we'd stock up all the same," he laughs.
The only problem was the rugby. Brive had become European champions that summer but the free-flowing stuff they showed in beating Leicester in the final was the exception rather than the norm. They had the backline to play expansively, but Seigne chose not to. For him, it was all about the combat, which translated as the emotion or, more precisely, the fighting.
Townsend remembers: "Before one match, I saw Pascal Bomati, our winger, with blood pouring from his head - white as a sheet.
"I asked him what happened. He said the coach (Seigne) headbutted him. I said to the senior players, 'Guys, this is not normal' and they said, 'No, no, this isn't half as bad as other clubs.'
"They told me that at Stade Francais they used to do a thing where the coach would put the showers on full blast, switch the lights off and then the players would start punching each other in the dark while getting soaked. That's all stuff from a bygone age, but it was the way it was done."
Soon, there was a changing room referendum on Seigne. The president of the club polled the players about their coach, giving them three options - to vote to keep him, to vote to sack him immediately, to vote to sack him at the end of the season, which was three games away. He lasted the three games (lost all three) and exited. To say the atmosphere in those weeks wasn't great would be to put it mildly.
Townsend moved on to Castres, where things were more settled and more successful. At Brive he had Christophe Lamaison, Philippe Carbonneau and Oliver Magne. At Castres he had Raphael Ibanez, Mauricio Reggiardo, Ignacio Fernandez Lobbe and a name from a little closer to home, Shaun Longstaff.
"We came so close to doing something really special," he says.
"We got to the semi-final of the French championship but the way the draw worked out we had to play Toulouse in Toulouse and so they had 32,000 and we had 8,000 and they beat us. Had we got them at a neutral venue, you never know. I would have loved to have played in a French final. The history of it was incredible. It meant everything to people.
"In my second season we made the semi-final of the Heineken Cup, but got beaten by Munster. I was captain for the European games, which was an honour. Those years in Castres were fantastic.
"I went away from France and then went back again in 2004, to Montpellier. A really good club, really good people. It was an idyllic lifestyle. A house overlooking a vineyard. One of our sons was born while we were there."
Townsend's ties with France continue now that he is a coach and a student of their game.
"French club rugby is transformed," he asserts. "The money and the popularity - they now say that French rugby is more popular than French football, on TV figures and attendances. All the big cities always had a football team, but now they have a rugby team.
"It looks great on TV when you have full stadiums, but a lot of times it doesn't result in a quality game. Part of that is because of a trend towards size. Big guys running against big guys.
"I think we see the best of French club rugby in Europe, where they play a bit more. The international team? Very physical, very good defence, maybe they're building towards a more attacking game. I just hope they don't unleash it on Sunday."
He talks about Richie Gray and in Gray's story he sees a little of himself. Not the hulking size or the mop of blond hair, of course, but in the journey home from Castres, Townsend's former home which is now home to the big second row.
Townsend understands that journey. "The trips back home were really long," he says.
"I'm not sure if people realise it, but for Richie, there's no direct flight. There's a one-hour drive to Toulouse, then a flight to Paris or London and a two or three-hour wait and then a flight to Edinburgh.
"So he's doing eight, nine or 10 hours of travel every time he comes home - and that's actually quite special because the distance makes you appreciate Scotland all the more. Being selected for Scotland was your only way of getting home during the season. That's the way it'll be for Richie. That trip is long, but it's one you can't wait for."
What Scotland would give for some of Townsend's old genius on Sunday.
The inky creased gloves can be seen in the National Museum in Dublin and are among the artefacts to feature in Ireland's Treasures Uncovered.
For presenter Dr Gavin Hughes, they are a touchstone to the past.
They are a link to a moment in 1690 on the Irish battlefield of the Boyne.
"On the night of the battle, they say that William slept in his carriage and then the next night one of his officers, Sir John Dillon, invited him to stay at Lismullen House, County Meath.
"He must have been in fairly buoyant mood as he showered Sir John with presents," he said.
Among them were two pairs of gauntlets.
"One set is creased and there is ink on them," Dr Hughes said.
"There is the distinct impression of a hand - as if William had been holding the reins of the horse. These are items personally used by the king and given to his officers.
"If we are trying to find a potential link between history and 'moments in time', then perhaps such seemingly ordinary objects as those unassuming gloves are as close as we can get.
"They represent a tangible moment in history that we can trace back almost to the day."
In the programme, Prof Alice Roberts and Dr Hughes explore the artefacts that shaped Ireland past and present, north and south.
They were given access to Belfast's Ulster Museum and the National Museum of Ireland in Dublin.
There, they get up close to the Tara Brooch, the Broighter Hoard, the Waterford Charter Roll and the Coggalbeg hoard.
The programme brings together archaeologists and curators who have spent their lives working to understand the true context for these emblematic treasures.
The Coggalbeg hoard is made up of three pieces of gold jewellery dating back to circa 2300 to 1800 BC.
They were found by a man cutting turf in a bog in Roscommon in March 1945.
He gave them to the local chemist who put them in the pharmacy safe in an envelope for safe keeping. And there they stayed hidden for over half a century.
ln 2009, thieves broke in and stole the safe, dumping the documents inside into a skip in Dublin.
Police moved in and, after a long and dirty search, they found the gold lunula - a crescent shaped necklace - and two small gold discs - treasure worth more than the thieves could ever have imagined.
The story made headlines across the world. It was the story of what the family called "daddy's necklace" that was in the safe.
Every piece in the programme has a story to tell.
"These are showcase treasures - but if this helps to get people out there and going into their local museums, they will find so much. There are so many stories and so much to enjoy," said Dr Hughes.
Prof Alice Roberts said: "We explore the forgotten riches, remarkable discoveries and surprising tales behind Ireland's most precious artefacts.
"We will reveal how ancient treasures continue to shed new light on the story of Ireland, both north and south."
Ireland's Treasures Uncovered is on Monday 15 February, BBC One Northern Ireland at 21:00 GMT.
Campaigners are trying to force the UK government not to begin withdrawal talks without parliament's approval.
But the UK government believes the EU referendum gives the prime minister the mandate to trigger what is known as the article 50 process.
The case is due to be heard at the High Court in London on Thursday.
SNP ministers are not directly involved in this legal dispute but are sending legal counsel to observe in case they decide to become active.
It has emerged that they made a submission in a similar case being heard by the High Court in Belfast.
Lawyers for the Scottish government took issue with the attorney general for Northern Ireland's interpretation of Scottish devolution.
It is unlikely that the Scottish government will become involved in either the Belfast or London cases over the central question of whether parliament or the prime minister can start the Brexit process.
Instead, it reserves the right to make the case for Holyrood to be formally consulted on Brexit.
A Scottish government spokesperson said the administration was "keeping a close eye on the court actions and will assess them at all stages as they proceed to see whether there is an argument for us to become more directly involved.
"In relation to the proceedings before the High Court in England, we are considering the position very carefully and have instructed counsel to attend the hearing in London this week to observe."
Mitroglou joined Fulham from Olympiakos for £11m in January 2014, but has made just one start and two substitute appearances without scoring a goal.
The 27-year-old rejoined Olympiakos on loan last season, scoring 19 goals in 32 appearances.
"I didn't think twice when the opportunity arose," said Mitroglou.
The Greece international added: "I knew immediately that was where I wanted to go,
"I will try to score many goals for the team but the most important is to win the games. Of course, the goals are important for a striker and I am happy to play here."
Mitroglou won the Greek title and Greek Cup with Olympiakos last season, the 10th and 11th major trophies of his career.
Meanwhile, Buomesca Tue Na Bangna has also left Fulham to join Cypriot side AEL Limassol on a permanent deal.

There were 3,886 such crimes logged in July 2015, rising to 5,468 in July this year, according to the Home Office.
It said the sharp increase declined in August but has "remained at a higher level than prior to the EU referendum".
Home Secretary Amber Rudd said the government was "determined to stamp it out".
The number of hate crimes overall in the year 2015-16 was up 19% on the previous year.
Latest figures show that 62,518 offences were recorded by police.
Of these, 79% were motivated by race hate, 12% by sexual orientation, 7% by religion, 6% by disability and 1% were transgender hate crimes.
Ewa Banaszak and her family have lived in Plymouth for nine years, "this is our home, where we live and work" she said.
The Polish natives had their shed deliberately set alight in July in a racially-motivated attack.
Since the EU referendum, she said racist comments towards her and relatives had "intensified" and the family had received a "hate-filled letter" containing threats.
Despite being told to "go back to your own country", Ms Banaszak said they will not go back to Poland.
Standing at a bus stop, Brazilian-born Danilo Venticinque, 30, was talking to his Mexican wife in Spanish and a woman asked "you speak English, don't you?"
"Can you understand what I'm saying? This is our country. We are leaving the EU. We will stop having so many people like you over here."
He said people like the woman who approached him are "a minority".
Liberal Democrat home affairs spokesperson Alistair Carmichael said the rise in hate crimes was "down to the nasty, divisive European referendum campaign that pulled apart communities, families and neighbours".
He claimed that the government has treated the post referendum landscape in "the same divisive way".
The National Police Chiefs' Council's (NPCC) lead on hate crime, Assistant Chief Constable Mark Hamilton said: "Numbers of hate crime incidents have fallen from the spike seen after the EU referendum but we still believe that many hate crimes are still not reported to us.
"We are determined to play our part in addressing hate crimes in our society, supported by government and third sector partners".
These figures confirm what previous data from the National Police Chiefs Council suggested - that there was a spike in hate crime after the 23 June poll.
Part of the increase is undoubtedly due to a greater willingness by the public to report offences and better police methods for logging hate crimes.
But strong anecdotal evidence supports the view that there was also a genuine rise in crimes targeted at ethnic minorities and foreign nationals: the Brexit vote appeared to unleash something in people - they felt they had a licence to attack Polish migrants and insult Muslims.
Separately, one of the most striking features of the annual figures is a 44% rise in hate crimes directed at people with disabilities; the numbers have doubled in four years.
Following the EU referendum, then-Prime Minister David Cameron condemned "despicable" incidents of hate crime.
In July, the government published a hate crime action plan, which Ms Rudd said "sets out how we are further reducing hate crime, increasing reporting and improving support for victims".
She added: "Our hate crime laws are among the best in the world, but we cannot be complacent."
Assistant Chief Constable Hamilton said the NPCC was encouraged by the improved police reporting and support systems that had been put in place.
According to the Home Office, over the last year police forces have made efforts to improve their recording of crime statistics, especially for violence against person offences.
It said the improved records are "likely to be a factor" in the increase in hate crimes recorded by the police this year.
The McLaren Formula 1 driver produced an impressive performance in his first competitive session on a US oval track.
Alonso is among the 'fast nine' who will dispute pole on Sunday.
Alonso's average speed for his four-lap qualifying run on the 2.5-mile Indianapolis Motor Speedway was 230.034mph.
American Ed Carpenter, who ran later in the day, was fastest at 230.468mph. The shootout for pole is due to begin at 21:00 BST.
The dangers of racing on high-speed American oval tracks were emphasised by a huge accident for former F1 driver Sebastien Bourdais.
The Frenchman was fastest after the first two laps of his four-lap qualifying run but lost control exiting Turn One, smashed head-on into the barriers and rolled before coming to a rest.
IndyCar said in a statement that Bourdais was "awake and alert", had not lost consciousness in the accident and had been taken to Indianapolis Memorial Hospital for evaluation.
Drivers are supposed to get several attempts at setting a time on the first day of qualifying at Indy but a rain storm in the morning delayed running and in the end the session was cut short so that each driver only had one four-lap attempt.
Speaking before the conclusion of the session, Alonso said: "It was intense, definitely. With the weather conditions, we only had this attempt, so that creates a little bit of stress on everyone.
"I think we did OK, and put the laps together but I think there is more to come from the car. We have a little bit more speed than we showed today so hopefully we can put everything together.
"It felt difficult, it felt tricky. You are going very fast, you feel the degradation of the tyres. Lap one and lap four are very different in terms of the balance and you need to keep your concentration very high every corner, every lap.
"I need to keep learning, keep progressing. With this being my first qualifying, I saw there were things I could do differently, the preparation of the tyres, the laps, the consistency of the laps. I am happy with today's performance but I think tomorrow will be better."
Of the Britons, Ed Jones was quickest in 10th place, followed by Max Chilton in 12th, Jay Howard in 22nd, Jack Harvey in 25th and Pippa Mann in 30th.
Qualifying runs over two days this weekend, with Saturday defining the 'fast nine' drivers who compete for pole position on Sunday.
The remaining 24 drivers also qualify again on Sunday, but only to determine the grid positions from 10th to 33rd. Qualifying pace is determined by a driver's average speed over a four-lap run. | A tenant has been found for a £1m farm who will pay £1 a year rent to look after it and its "fragile" landscape.

The 20-year-old, who has yet to appear for the Blues' first team, spent time on loan at League One side Gillingham this term, playing 15 matches.
While with the Gills, the England Under-20 international played at Plymouth's Home Park in the League Cup.
He joins a side currently third in League Two, six points above fourth-placed Portsmouth.
Before the signing, Pilgrims manager Derek Adams said he was working hard to bolster his squad with loan players.
The Pilgrims have lost striker Ryan Brunt for the rest of the season after a cruciate knee ligament injury, while Jordon Forster is still recovering from the head injury he sustained at Barnet.
"We're working away, we're trying to get some loan players in," Adams told BBC Radio Devon.
"I'm sure we'll have them in before the end of the transfer window."
Football League clubs have until 24 March to add loan players to their squads - the final time they will be able to do so before rules change in the summer to prevent emergency loans.

Sullivan won with Breech!, a tender picture of his wife Virginia breastfeeding their daughter Edith.
The judges said it reminded them of Madonna and Child portraits and showed "the depth of the maternal bond".
"For a portraitist, the BP award is the only gig in town - it's the most important thing," he told BBC News.
Sullivan, who was born in Grimsby and lives in Suffolk, receives £30,000 and a gallery commission worth £5,000 at the National Portrait Gallery, London.
He said he wanted to show the "bond and connection" between mother and daughter with Breech!.
It is now going on show to the public as part of the gallery's annual exhibition of the shortlisted works, and Sullivan said his award meant even more to him knowing so many people would get to see his art.
"Hundreds of thousands of people see the show so it's wonderful from that point of view. From every angle it's great news."
He came third in last year's competition, for a portrait of poet Hugo Williams and has overall been selected a record 13 times.
Broadcaster and judge Kirsty Wark said of Breech!: "The woman is tired. She is in love. Her life has changed forever. We know her."
The 40-year-old artist often paints family members, saying that "the emotional connection between sitter and artist is at the root of all successful portraits".
"I've done lots of paintings of Ginny, my wife, throughout our 10-year relationship so it felt normal to do this now in this situation, with our first child," he told BBC News.
"It was great to see that bond and connection between them so it was important to do from that point of view."
Sullivan said he wanted the portrait to celebrate the new arrival, as well as mark the difficult time he and his wife had during the birth of Edith - who was a breech baby, as referred to in the title of the portrait.
He added that it was a time when "a sense of calm descended after the usual period of disarrangement that new parents face".
Sullivan told BBC News: "I just wanted to do a painting of the two of them... the child gets a lot of comfort from the physical thing of breast-feeding.
"Talk to any midwife and they will tell you that getting young mothers to breast feed and feel confident in public and normalise it is really important."
He said he had seen "every kind of reaction to the work", including negative, but those "in the know" - midwives and mothers with young babies - say, "Oh my God, you've got it just so".
Breech! was painted over a four-to-five-week period in his studio "when Edith's co-operation was forthcoming".
Thomas Ehretsmann was awarded second prize, and £10,000, for Double Portrait - showing his wife Caroline walking in a park when she was eight months pregnant.
The judges said the portrait, painted with layers of semi-transparent acrylic paint, showed Caroline's "sense of stillness, strength and serenity".
The third prize of £8,000 went to Antony Williams for his portrait of friend Emma Bruce, simply titled Emma, and the judges said his "distinctive technique" made the painting look "almost sculptural".
The model has been sitting for Williams for 11 years at his studio in Chertsey, and he said he wanted to show her vulnerability and determination.
New Zealand artist Henry Christian-Slane won the BP Young Artist Award of £7,000 for Gabi, showing his partner Gabi Lardies. The 26-year-old said he believes the painting - being of someone he knows so well - "balances being analytical and instinctual".
The BP Portrait Award 2017 exhibition is at the National Portrait Gallery from 22 June to 24 September and admission is free.

During the 19th and early 20th Century, emigrants from Wales settled here, hoping to create a haven for their language, culture and faith.
Today, the town of Gaiman in the east is where the link with Wales is at its most visible. Homes and businesses have Welsh names and display Welsh flags. And it's here you'll find the highest concentration of Welsh speakers in the region.
Ana Chiabrando Rees's family started the first Welsh tearoom in the town in 1944.
Mountains of bread and butter and cakes are served alongside large pots of tea.
"Tearooms are very important here," she says, "Everyone in the country knows about them."
"I love Welsh history and I love telling people about it."
The tearooms are an example of the commercial value of the Welsh connection in Patagonia.
Gaiman attracts tourists in their thousands every year, mainly from Argentina but also "from all across the world", Ana explains.
"If they know about Wales they come and say 'oh, wow this is like Wales!' If not they like it here because it's different," she says.
Anna's ancestors were Welsh settlers. She has learnt Welsh and describes it as "the language of my heart".
It was 150 years ago on 28 July when about 160 Welsh emigrants arrived in Argentina aboard the Mimosa tea-clipper.
But not everyone who runs a traditional Welsh tearoom here has links with Wales. They are running successful businesses in a place where 'Welshness' sells.
Gaiman's mayor, Gabriel Restucha, a Welsh speaker himself, says the town's economy owes a great deal to its heritage.
"Of course the tourist side of things helps us a lot," he said.
"That's why we've been fixing an historic tunnel, doing something with the old railway.
"If I'm elected mayor again next year I want to keep on strengthening the links with Wales and our history."
Emergency services were called to Sunderland Hall late on Tuesday afternoon following reports of a man being badly injured.
The victim has been named locally as Kenny Scott, 58, originally from Jedburgh, but latterly living at Minto.
Despite efforts from paramedics and the call-out of an air ambulance, he was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident.
Members of the Tweed Valley Mountain Rescue Team were also called out due to the difficult terrain.
A spokesman said: "All involved are deeply saddened by this tragic outcome and our thoughts are with the family of the deceased."
The Health and Safety Executive has been made aware of the accident and a full investigation into the circumstances will be launched.
A spokesman said: "We have been made aware of an incident at Sunderland Hall and we are liaising with Police Scotland to determine the circumstances."
He told the BBC:"The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race."
His warning came in response to a question about a revamp of the technology he uses to communicate, which involves a basic form of AI.
But others are less gloomy about AI's prospects.
The theoretical physicist, who has the motor neurone disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), is using a new system developed by Intel to speak.
Machine learning experts from the British company Swiftkey were also involved in its creation. Their technology, already employed as a smartphone keyboard app, learns how the professor thinks and suggests the words he might want to use next.
Prof Hawking says the primitive forms of artificial intelligence developed so far have already proved very useful, but he fears the consequences of creating something that can match or surpass humans.
"It would take off on its own, and re-design itself at an ever increasing rate," he said.
"Humans, who are limited by slow biological evolution, couldn't compete, and would be superseded."
But others are less pessimistic.
"I believe we will remain in charge of the technology for a decently long time and the potential of it to solve many of the world problems will be realised," said Rollo Carpenter, creator of Cleverbot.
Cleverbot's software learns from its past conversations, and has gained high scores in the Turing test, fooling a high proportion of people into believing they are talking to a human.
Mr Carpenter says we are a long way from having the computing power or developing the algorithms needed to achieve full artificial intelligence, but believes it will come in the next few decades.
"We cannot quite know what will happen if a machine exceeds our own intelligence, so we can't know if we'll be infinitely helped by it, or ignored by it and sidelined, or conceivably destroyed by it," he says.
But he is betting that AI is going to be a positive force.
Prof Hawking is not alone in fearing for the future.
In the short term, there are concerns that clever machines capable of undertaking tasks done by humans until now will swiftly destroy millions of jobs.
In the longer term, the technology entrepreneur Elon Musk has warned that AI is "our biggest existential threat".
In his BBC interview, Prof Hawking also talks of the benefits and dangers of the internet.
He quotes the director of GCHQ's warning about the net becoming the command centre for terrorists: "More must be done by the internet companies to counter the threat, but the difficulty is to do this without sacrificing freedom and privacy."
He has, however, been an enthusiastic early adopter of all kinds of communication technologies and is looking forward to being able to write much faster with his new system.
But one aspect of his own tech - his computer generated voice - has not changed in the latest update.
Prof Hawking concedes that it's slightly robotic, but insists he didn't want a more natural voice.
"It has become my trademark, and I wouldn't change it for a more natural voice with a British accent," he said.
"I'm told that children who need a computer voice, want one like mine."
To the Italians, she is Francesca Marina. To her mother, she is simply called Gift.
Just four days old, the baby was born on an Italian naval rescue ship, the Bettica.
Her mother, Stephanie Samuel, is recovering in the same hospital in Ragusa. They endured a 10-hour boat ride, and eight hours of labour.
Stephanie Samuel had worked as a housemaid in Tripoli but after two years, and with a deteriorating security situation in Libya, she decided that even though heavily pregnant, she had to escape.
"I think that Italy is more good than Libya, so I decide to come to Italy," she explained in broken English. "I thought I would come to Italy and have the baby a week later."
Despite the dangers of the crossing - it cost her $600 (530 euros) in a boat packed with nearly 100 other people - she was prepared for the risk.
"I'm not scared," she said. "I make up my mind, and I'm not scared, because I believe there is God."
Her husband, Valentino, is still in Libya. He received news of the birth in a telephone call.
"I told him I'm here safely and I have a baby, a baby girl, and he was happy," she said.
"I'm happy to have Gift, she's my first daughter, my first born," she added.
Stephanie Samuel had been brought on board unconscious. She was having fits, and the medics had to administer a sedative to allow her to give birth.
Dr Sara Modde, of CISOM, the emergency services of the Order of Malta, was the doctor on board. She had only delivered two babies previously.
"The labour was really intense and exhausting, because the mother was continually sedated - to prevent her epileptic attacks we used Valium," she explained.
"It was difficult since it was her first pregnancy, and she was delivering in a very difficult situation."
A tent was set up on deck to allow privacy, but when the baby finally arrived, the whole ship heard about it.
"With one last push Stephanie let out a great cry. So everybody outside knew that a baby girl had been born," she said.
"The other migrants started clapping, and singing hymns. Even though it was the middle of the night, the entire crew, including the captain, joined in."
Dr Modde explained that the crew chose the name Francesca after Francis of Assisi. And Marina means "navy" in Italian.
Without the Italian rescue services, Stephanie and Gift's journey could have ended in tragedy.
But despite the pain and the suffering of their crossing they made it to here in Sicily and the promise of a better life.
And for the tens of thousands of other migrants, still waiting to cross the Mediterranean, that story is likely to inspire, rather than deter them from making their own journey.
Gift is still in a serious condition in the intensive care unit.
Stephanie Samuel says their journey is far from over. When she recovers, she expects to go to a reception centre on the island.
She hopes that they can stay in Europe, and that her husband may yet get to meet his baby daughter.
Christopher Williams, 25, who was living in Derby, died at the scene of the crash on the A52, in Bottesford, on 25 May 2016.
Garry Allen, 33, of Cressing Road, Braintree, Essex, was arrested at the time and has now been charged with causing death by dangerous driving.
He is due to appear at Leicester Magistrates' Court on Friday.
Wards 2C, 5C and 7C at the biggest hospital in the Highlands had earlier been closed to new admissions after about 30 patients fell ill.
NHS Highland said the suspension of all visits would help staff tackle the outbreak of sickness.
The health board said the virus was "rife" in the local community.
Dr Adam Brown, consultant microbiologist at NHS Highland, said: "We currently have a high number of patients in hospital with symptoms of diarrhoea and vomiting and we also know it is rife in the community.
"By reducing the amount of traffic coming in to the hospital we hope that will reduce the risk of any more outbreaks of norovirus."
"We would ask members of the public not to come in to hospital to visit any ward unless by prior arrangement with the nurse in charge."
He added: "Hospital staff will of course be very happy to talk to visitors on the phone so they can get updates on how their relatives are."
Though the virus is known as the winter vomiting bug, NHS Highland said norovirus occurs all year round and there is no vaccine.
The virus is highly contagious and continually changes. People do not develop lasting immunity so can catch it more than once in a year, the health board said.
A sudden sick feeling followed by forceful vomiting and watery diarrhoea are usually the first signs of the bug.
The symptoms commonly last a couple of days, but can last longer in older people.
As well as allowing devotees to indulge in their love of everything Star Wars, it also means jobbing actors who had parts in the original films are now more famous than ever among fans.
Speaking at the recent For the Love of the Force convention in Manchester, some of them spoke about life on the booming convention circuit and how the enduring appeal of Star Wars has provided an unexpected new career.
Dave Prowse is disconcertingly cheerful for the man who was inside Darth Vader's suit as overawed fans queue to tell him how thrilled they are to meet him. They happily pay £20 for his autograph - twice as much as the lesser cast members in the room.
"Every weekend I'm somewhere different in the world," he says. "I've got shows lined up in America, all over the continent - you name it, I'm going there.
"I'm more than happy to be recognised as being the ultimate screen villain of all time. I think it's a wonderful accolade to have. When I did the film, I never thought for one moment that it would snowball into what it has."
Prowse may have been inside the famous black suit, but his West Country accent was deemed unsuitable for the evil overlord and replaced by the voice of James Earl Jones.
Prowse puts the franchise's success down to its "very interesting characters" - one in particular.
"When you talk about Star Wars, you don't think about Harrison Ford, you don't think about Carrie Fisher, you don't think about Mark Hamill. All you think about is Darth Vader," he says.
"And being the actor who played Darth Vader, and doing nothing else but travelling around the world promoting Darth Vader, is absolutely wonderful for me."
At the end of Star Wars: A New Hope, Han Solo and Luke Skywalker are presented with the Medal of Bravery after the rebel victory over the Empire. In the background, carrying Solo's medal, is Nick Joseph.
Now, he travels to conventions selling plastic replica medals. "You meet fans you've met before, you meet new fans, it's absolutely great," he says.
Joseph has also had parts in Doctor Who, Blake's 7 and EastEnders and has done a total of 17 conventions this year, with events in Florida and Mississippi already booked for 2016.
Does he still act? No, he replies - he is too busy doing conventions.
When Obi-Wan Kenobi, played by Sir Alec Guinness, used the Force to trick a Sandtrooper into saying "These aren't the droids we're looking for" in the original film, Anthony Forrest was inside that Sandtrooper's suit.
"I'd done a film just before that called The Eagle Has Landed," he says. "That was the same casting director and that was how I was called in to meet George Lucas."
Forrest is also a writer, composer and director and says the Star Wars connection is "a double-edged sword".
"You do the work and then all of a sudden you're part of something that's so successful," he says. "That's great because you've had that involvement but sometimes it gets hard to separate you as an artist from the work because you get known for the work.
"I think Alec Guinness had that - he'd done so many wonderful roles but in the general audience's mind they were remembering him as Obi-Wan Kenobi. That's the nature of the beast.
"It's nice to be part of something so successful but at the same time it has that backlash to it as well."
"I was an Ewok."
As claims to fame go, this one from Michael Henbury is hard to beat.
Henbury, who is 2ft 11in, was working for UK Customs and Excise in the mid-1970s. "One of my colleagues saw an advert in one of the national papers asking for little people to go for it," he says.
"They rang up without me knowing and then the production team rang me at work. I thought it was a bit of a wind-up, but it wasn't and that's how it started.
"Once I'd done Return of the Jedi, I got an agent, which led to me doing roles in Willow, Labyrinth, and Deathly Hallows in the Harry Potter series."
He was booked for almost 20 conventions this year "with the help of Facebook" he says. "I love going around other parts of the country, meeting people, talking about my little stories and it's nice to see smiling faces and happy voices."
"I've done 32 events this year," Pam Rose explains. "I've already got 15 for next year and two for 2017. People are asking me to do shows and I say 'You have to book me early - two years in advance!'"
Rose played Leesub Sirln, an alien in the Cantina scene in the original Star Wars film.
"I was a girl called Weird Girl originally, then it was changed to Leesub Sirin and then to Leesub Sirln when my action figure came out," she says, wielding her own plastic replica, still in its box. "I think basically the Chinese spelt it wrong.
"I was filming for five days and I was quite lucky because I got two days' overtime just for the make-up, which took three hours a day."
Rose says she loves going to conventions to meet fans young and old. "You've got the older generation bringing their children and they're bringing their grandchildren into it," she says. "Doing the events is not like a job. It's a second life, really, for me."
"Sometimes I can be working two different conventions in two different countries in a weekend," says Alan Flyng, who is appearing in both France and Spain this week to mark the release of the new Star Wars film.
Flyng was employed on The Empire Strikes Back as a "utility" actor. "I was a stunt Stormtrooper, a Snowtrooper, Hoth rebel, a Hoth technician and anything else I was told to dress up and do," he says.
The actor particularly remembers one scene being filmed six metres off the ground, with access from only one staircase. "As usual the camera crew blocked [it] with all their magazines and lens boxes.
"So those of us who were in costume had to access the set by a double extension ladder, wearing everything including the helmets.
"It all became very dangerous because one guy did actually walk off the edge of the set when the camera operator told him to take two steps to the right, which he did."
Flyng says he gets "far more" convention invitations than he can take up. He says: "If I do a small club show I can actually sell more photographs than I can at a huge convention. At a huge convention like this you might have 25 signers. At a club show it might be just me."
"I played a Stormtrooper," recalls Laurie Goode. "Then after that I managed to get into the costume of a monster called a Saurin and I was also an X-wing pilot. But that was a fleeting appearance."
Goode pulled on the tight-fitting Saurin costume for the Cantina scene after the actress who it was originally meant for fell ill.
"The head was quite tight," he says. "I think it was originally designed for a woman and it was all very tight fitting. But she cried off sick and they wanted someone to take the place.
"They said 'If you can fit into the suit, you can come back next week'. I said 'OK, I'll give it a go' and I just about managed to fit into it."
Goode says he does conventions to "have a good laugh and meet all my old chums". He adds: "I'm actually enjoying it more and more because [interest] seems to be becoming greater with every year that passes.
"I'd like to have done something on the new film but it wasn't to be. I did make enquiries, but I think the whole regime's new now."
"When we did Star Wars, it was just a job," says Peter Roy. "When we did the first one it was so successful they decided to do the second one.
"In A New Hope I was a rebel engineer and I got promoted all the way through to become Major Orlando Brit in Return of the Jedi. I got promoted in the three episodes."
Roy says he only got the original part because he was the right size for the costume. "I got the audition after I did the fitting. I had to do the fitting first," he says.
"I always say I only got the job because the costume fitted. It was a job. I only did it for the money. Anybody could have done what I did. I was just lucky."
Roy says he has done about a dozen conventions in the UK this year, as well as others overseas. "It's getting very popular in Canada and America, Malta of all places, Spain and in Germany it goes mad.
"I also do Doctor Who [conventions] because I did 18 episodes of Doctor Who. They seem to be more interested in Doctor Who in Switzerland and Germany than they are in Star Wars."
In the first of this double-header, Chancellor Philip Hammond said that he was supporting families while not spending recklessly.
Although the Budget was relatively low-key, other changes were already planned. This adds up to a significant financial impact on millions of people - even before the next Budget in November.
So here is how it could affect you.
The main National Insurance contribution rate paid by the self-employed will rise in the next few years.
It will increase from its current level of 9% to 10% in April 2018, and then to 11% in April 2019 for those making a profit of more than £8,060.
The level for employees for these Class 4 contributions is 12%.
The chancellor said that this would raise £145m a year by 2021-22. On its own, the change announced in the Budget will leave 2.84 million people facing an average annual increase of £240.
As previously announced, Class 2 payments - which have a lower threshold of £5,965 or more in profits a year - will be abolished.
Taken together, only the self-employed with profits over £16,250 will have to pay more as a result of these changes - at an average cost of 60p a week to those affected.
The chancellor said this brought more fairness between the self-employed and employees.
But the move was criticised by the body that represents the self-employed.
"The chancellor should not forget that growth in self-employment has driven our labour market in recent years and punitive rises in tax will make many people have second thoughts about striking out on their own," said Chris Bryce, chief executive of IPSE.
Director shareholders will see a tax break reduced on the dividends they receive.
The tax-free dividend allowance - which only came into force a year ago - will be reduced from £5,000 to £2,000 from April 2018.
That will also affect people with large portfolios of shares.
Experts say that with an Isa allowance of £20,000 available to use from April, many investors will not need to worry.
A new government-backed savings product was promised in November's Autumn Statement - but we did not have date or a rate.
Now the chancellor has said the Investment Guaranteed Growth Bonds will be offered by National Savings and Investments from April, paying interest of 2.2%.
The chancellor described this as a market-leading rate, which it is - but it is only the equal of the best-buy three-year bond on the market now. Critics have already labelled the product as a "sideshow" and "underwhelming".
The bond will be open to those aged 16 and over, subject to a minimum investment limit of £100 and a maximum investment limit of £3,000. Savers must lock in their money for three years.
Official forecasts estimate that the cost of living will rise at 2% or above for the next three years.
There will be no change to previously planned inflation-linked increases in duties on alcohol and tobacco, but a new minimum excise duty is being introduced on the cigarettes targeting the cheapest tobacco.
This, along with the previously announced measures, will mean a packet of 20 cigarettes will cost 35p more from 18:00 GMT on Wednesday. A 30 gramme pack of hand-rolled tobacco will cost 42p more.
Concerns have been raised that many people are falling into a subscription trap, by signing up for a paid-for service without meaning to - for example, when a paid subscription starts automatically after a free trial has ended.
Citizens Advice estimates that two million consumers each year have problems cancelling subscriptions on, for example, TV subscriptions.
Those with mental health problems are often vulnerable to these issues.
The chancellor confirmed that new measures will be considered in a Green Paper in the summer.
A long list of changes, announced in previous Budgets and Autumn Statements will come into force in April or the subsequent months. They include:
But the EIS said there should be a proper discussion on education.
The union is publishing a manifesto and is calling on voters to question candidates about local education.
Some have expressed concern local issues could be overshadowed by Brexit and the possibility of another independence referendum.
The EIS manifesto highlights a number of priorities which it says councils should address:
Education is one of the most important services councils provide. The Scottish government is currently discussing what sort of power over schools councils should have in the future.
It is looking at devolving more power to headteachers and creating new regional education boards. Decisions are expected in June.
EIS General Secretary Larry Flanagan said: "The EIS is launching our Education Manifesto today to promote discussion on key education policies ahead of the local authority elections on the 4th of May.
"We hope that teachers, parents, students and other voters will find this a helpful tool to support questioning of council candidates and to encourage scrutiny of party commitments on education."
Mr Flanagan added: "Councils are responsible for supporting schools, and are the employers of teachers and other staff who are essential in the delivery of education. It is absolutely vital that all local council candidates and all political parties fully appreciate the importance of education to their communities.
"The most important message that all politicians need to hear is that our schools, teachers and learners should not be used as political footballs to score party-political points. All local councillors - be they party affiliated or independent; in power or in opposition - have an obligation to support the work of our comprehensive school system.
"Scottish Education benefitted previously from a strong commitment to a partnership approach - both between the main political parties and between local and national government. That consensus needs to be re-established to ensure stronger support for our schools."
The inquiries - one ordered by Theresa May when she was home secretary, and another by the home affairs select committee - are ongoing.
But some women have signed an open letter and said the aim was to ban Sharia councils, not reform them.
The Muslim Women's Network UK said the inquiries risked treating women like "political footballs".
However, the Home Office said its inquiry's chair, panel and advisers were "carefully selected and represent a wide range of relevant experience and expertise".
The councils are tribunals often used to settle disputes within the Muslim community.
The first evidence session on Sharia councils is due to be held by the Home Affairs Committee on Tuesday.
But Shaista Gohir, the chair of Muslim Women's Network UK, said the inquiries could patronise women.
"Everyone wants to listen to Muslim women when highlighting their terrible experiences.
"However when it comes to the solutions, everyone thinks they know what is best for them," she said.
"I do feel that there are people who are anti-faith, particularly anti-Islam, who are using women's rights as a guise, wanting to abolish Sharia councils.
"If tomorrow or next year you shut down Sharia councils, what would result is Muslim women stuck in marriages, abusive marriages sometimes, and the Sharia divorce service would actually go underground.
"That would result in less transparency, higher prices and more discrimination," Ms Gohir added.
Sharia councils are tribunals that seek to apply Islamic laws to everything from financial disputes to marital conflicts.
They are unregulated and largely unknown to the wider public.
The precise number of these councils in the UK is not clear, although research by Reading University suggests the total is about 30.
However, crossbench peer Lady Cox, a longstanding critic of Sharia councils, says women are "suffering" under the system and she has repeatedly tried to get legislation through Parliament to reform the councils.
"So many Muslim women come to me and tell me how desperately unhappy they are," she said.
"One lady came to me last week and had gone almost suicidal with the provisions of a Sharia council.
"So we need to look at the whole system and the way it operates."
Lady Cox rejected as "absolute rubbish" the suggestion that critics were using the position of women in Islam to attack Sharia councils.
"A lot of the women who support me are Muslim women, who don't have a voice.
"Some of the strongest support for what I'm advocating comes from Muslim women themselves," she said.
A Home Office spokesman said: "This government commissioned an independent review of the application of Sharia law as there is evidence some Sharia councils may be working in a discriminatory and unacceptable way."
He added that the review's chair, panel and advisers "bring strong academic knowledge, legal insight and credible expertise in religion and theology".
Labour MP Naz Shah, who sits on the Home Affairs Committee, said the councils could never be a replacement for the civil courts.
Speaking on Radio 4's Today programme, she said: "Sharia itself is a code of conduct and the fundamental principle of Sharia is that the law of the land precedes anything, it takes precedence.
"You cannot enforce and have a second paralegal system in this country.
"As a British law-maker, I am very clear we have one law and that law is that of the British court.
"The Sharia is there to support women and communities to things that they want to access and that's a choice for them."
But the Bradford West MP added: "There's lots of issues with Sharia councils - usually they are under-resourced, there's not that professional standard - what we need to be doing is supporting the Sharia councils.
"Sharia councils are sometimes last resorts where people who have lost legal aid; we've had austerity kicking in and the courts don't want to deal with small disputes, so they can act as a complementary arbitration service.
"But what we need to be careful of is whether they are discriminating against women and that is where the issue lies."
His victims ranged from five years old to pensioners, and he attacked men, women, girls and boys.
The health secretary has apologised to victims and admits they have been "let down badly".
Some of the details in this article are disturbing.
Who was Jimmy Savile?
He was a Radio 1 DJ, but he was probably best known for presenting Top of the Pops. He fronted the first episode in 1964 and re-appeared for the last weekly show in 2006.
He often presented programmes aimed at teenagers and children, especially Jim'll Fix It.
Each week he would "fix it" for young viewers to have their wishes come true.
He was a larger than life character, with outlandish hair, colourful clothes and flashy jewellery.
But even though he was seen as quirky, he was respected as a charity campaigner.
He was awarded the OBE in 1971 and was knighted in 1990.
How did the sex abuse stories come out?
There were rumours about him abusing children during his lifetime.
In 2007 and 2008 he was questioned over claims dating back to the 1970s. But there wasn't enough evidence to take it any further.
It's now come out that if authorities had taken victims seriously, he could have been prosecuted in 2009.
He died in 2011. A year later, ITV broadcast a documentary called Exposure: The Other Side of Jimmy Savile.
Several women claimed he sexually abused them when they were underage. This triggered more and more claims against him.
Why was Jimmy Savile linked to hospitals?
He was associated with hospitals all the way through his career. He worked on the radio station at Leeds General Infirmary.
Over the years he returned as a fundraiser and volunteer porter.
Now 28 NHS sites across England and Wales have looked into abuse claims about Jimmy Savile. Most reported one or two cases.
But two hospitals in particular had many more stories.
What did the report from Leeds General Infirmary say?
60 people, both staff and patients, came forward and said they had been abused by Jimmy Savile. Some were rude comments, or inappropriate touching. There were three rape claims.
The age of victims ranged from five to 75, but most were teenagers.
The first case happened in 1962, when the presenter was 36. The last claim investigators heard about was in 2009. He was 82 years old.
Nine of the victims did tell staff what was going on, but they weren't taken seriously. Senior managers were never told.
Did he abuse dead bodies?
This is one of the most disturbing claims to come out of this. The report chairwoman said he had an "unwholesome interest in the dead".
She told how one woman said that when she was a student nurse at Leeds General Infirmary, Jimmy Savile told her he would go down to the mortuary and have sex with dead bodies.
There were also claims that he wore rings "made from the glass eyes of dead bodies at the mortuary".
The report says there is no way of telling if this is true or not but that controls on people going into the morgue weren't strict enough.
What was his connection with Broadmoor?
Jimmy Savile was linked with Broadmoor Psychiatric Hospital from 1968 onwards. He had a set of keys, an office and living quarters at the high security facility.
He had an official role there, heading up a task force about patient welfare.
The report looked into 11 claims of sexual abuse, and told how Jimmy Savile would watch and comment as female patients showered.
Investigators think the real number of cases there could well be much higher, because many former patients would want to forget their time there.
What has the reaction been?
Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt has described him as "a sickening and prolific sexual abuser who repeatedly exploited the trust of a nation for his own vile purposes".
He apologised on behalf of the government and the NHS to all victims.
The solicitor representing many of Savile's victims says there needs to be a change in the law so that staff have to report suspicions of abuse.
Is this the end of this story?
Sadly not. Another hospital was due to report back too, but now it has been given fresh evidence.
The BBC is also expected to release information later in the year, looking at what Jimmy Savile did in its buildings.

Mae BBC Cymru'n deall y bydd lle i 1,600 o droseddwyr yn y carchar categori C, er nad yw'r Weinyddiaeth Gyfiawnder wedi cadarnhau hynny.
Y bwriad yw adeiladu'r carchar newydd ar dir yn agos i hen ffatri Panasonic yn ardal Baglan, ger yr M4, yn ôl Llywodraeth Cymru.
Cyhoeddodd yr Ysgrifennydd Cyfiawnder, Liz Truss, fod £1.3bn wedi ei glustnodi i adeiladu neu ailddatblygu pedwar carchar ar draws y DU.
Dywedodd yr AC Llafur lleol, David Rees, bod angen hwb economaidd ar yr ardal, ond y byddai'n sicrhau bod mesurau i ddiogelu cymunedau.
Ond mae AC Plaid Cymru, Adam Price, wedi beirniadu'r cynlluniau, gan ddweud nad "troi Cymru yn garchar mawr i system gyfiawnder Lloegr yw'r dyfodol economaidd rydyn ni'n ei haeddu".
Nod Llywodraeth Prydain yw creu 10,000 o leoedd carchar newydd erbyn 2020. Maen nhw'n dweud y bydd y cynlluniau'n creu hyd at 2,000 o swyddi ym maes adeiladu a gweithgynhyrchu dros y pedwar safle.
Dywedodd AC Llafur dros Aberafan, David Rees, ei fod yn croesawu'r swyddi newydd posib, ond bod angen ystyried effaith y datblygiad ar y gymuned.
"Mae gan fusnesau lleol gyfle i dyfu yn sgil hyn. Efallai pan ddaw ymwelwyr, bydd cyfle i gaffis a thacsis elwa. Mae'n gyfle na allwn ni ei golli ac mae'r swyddi hyn yn bwysig i ni.
"Mae angen sicrhau mai dyma'r safle addas, a bod darpariaeth ar gyfer diogelwch y cymunedau ger y safle a'u bod yn gyfforddus 'efo be' sy'n cael ei adeiladu."
Ychwanegodd fod y Weinyddiaeth Gyfiawnder wedi dweud wrtho y bydd 'na ymgynghoriad fel bod pobl yn gallu rhoi eu barn.
Ond dywedodd AC Plaid Cymru, Adam Price, bod angen gwell strategaeth economaidd ar Gymru.
"Nid troi Cymru yn garchar mawr i system gyfiawnder Lloegr yw'r dyfodol economaidd rydyn ni'n ei haeddu nac ei angen," meddai ar Twitter. "Rydyn ni'n well na hyn."
Daw'r cyhoeddiad ychydig wythnosau wedi i Garchar y Berwyn - sydd â lle i dros 2,000 o garcharorion - agor ger Wrecsam.
Dywedodd Ysgrifennydd Cymru, Alun Cairns, bod y Berwyn wedi cael effaith "gadarnhaol" ar y gogledd, ac y byddai'r safle ym Mhort Talbot yn cynnig cyfleoedd tebyg.
"Bydd carchar newydd yn ne Cymru yn dod â'i gyfleoedd economaidd ei hun - gan gynnwys swyddi newydd a chytundebau i gyflenwyr lleol, a bydd yn cyflymu nod y llywodraeth o newid hen garchardai aneconomaidd am gyfleusterau modern, mwy cost-effeithiol", meddai.
Wrth egluro'r cynlluniau, dywedodd Ms Truss: "Fydd hen garchardai, gyda choridorau tywyll ac amodau cyfyng, ddim yn helpu troseddwyr i droi eu cefnau ar droseddu, a dydyn nhw ddim yn darparu swyddogion carchar proffesiynol ac ymroddgar gyda'r offer a'r amgylchedd iawn iddyn nhw wneud eu swyddi'n effeithiol."
Fe gadarnhaodd Ms Truss hefyd y bydd 'na gyhoeddiad am gau carchardai yn hwyrach yn 2017. Dywedodd y bydd gwaith gwerthuso'r stad carchadai yn dechrau nawr.
Awgrymodd AS Canol Caerdydd, Jo Stevens, y gallai Carchar Caerdydd gau.
"Rwy' ar ddeall gan y gweinidog carchardai nad oes penderfyniad wedi ei wneud am ei ddyfodol, ac nad yw'r carchar newydd i fod i gymryd lle carchar Caerdydd na charchar Abertawe", meddai.
"Mae'n amlwg i mi fod penodi cwmni Savills i werthuso'r safle yn mynd i arwain at werthu safle Carchar Caerdydd. Byddaf yn mynnu sicrwydd gan y llywodraeth y bydd y staff, y carcharorion a mynediad i deuluoedd i ymweld yn flaenoriaethau wrth benderfynu ar ddyfodol Carchar Caerdydd."
Mae'r penderfyniad terfynol ar Garchar Port Talbot yn dibynnu ar gael caniatâd cynllunio, yn ogystal â phwyso a mesur gwerth am arian a fforddiadwyedd y cynlluniau.
Dywedodd Cyngor Castell-nedd Port Talbot nad ydyn nhw wedi derbyn cais cynllunio gan y Weinyddiaeth Amddiffyn eto.
Officers went to the address in Brighton after reports of an explosion - they found one man already dead in a stairwell.
Another man holding a woman against her will was found inside the building.
Specialist police began negotiations but officers then stormed the building and shot the hostage-taker dead.
Three officers received non-life threatening injuries in the operation, one requiring hospital treatment.
The woman was rescued unharmed.
The area has been cordoned off and people are being advised to stay away.
Victoria Police said they were investigating whether the incident was terror-related.
Snap Map lets users share their exact location with people on their "friends" list in real time.
In a letter seen by the BBC, one school said the map raised "serious safeguarding concerns" because children could be tracked on the map.
But Snap, the company behind Snapchat, says the feature is opt-in and can be switched off at any time.
Snap Map was launched on 21 June and lets people browse a map of photos and videos that have been shared publicly.
It also lets people share their exact location with those they have added as "friends" in the app.
Users who are sharing their location appear on the map as a cartoon avatar.
Some schools have criticised the accuracy of the location-sharing feature, with one warning that it could be used to "build up a picture of home addresses, travel routes, schools and workplaces".
While location information is shared only with people on your "friends" list, that could include people you do not actually know, such as friends met on other apps and websites.
Others have criticised the way the map was added to Snapchat without a detailed announcement explaining exactly how it worked.
"We know tech companies are constantly developing their platforms and we'd encourage them to provide signposted information for parents and young people, so they know how to keep themselves safe," said Rose Bray from the NSPCC.
"Parents could be given a bit of warning, so they can look up the information before the new feature launches, and have a conversation with their child."
One mother, Paula, told BBC Breakfast she was surprised to find her 11-year-old son had opted in to share his location.
"I didn't know anything about it," she said. "Somebody had told him about it, one of his friends at school.
"I was a little bit worried about the fact that you could be pinpointed. Obviously there are predators, there are bullies."
Paula said she had discussed the feature with her son and they had agreed he would enable "ghost mode" to disappear from the map.
In a statement, Snap said: "The safety of our community is very important to us and we want to make sure that all Snapchatters, parents and educators have accurate information about how the Snap Map works."
The company stressed that location sharing on Snap Map was off by default, was an opt-in feature and could be switched off at any time.
It told the BBC that the feature had to be accurate so that friends could use it to find one another and meet up.
It added that "the majority of interactions on Snapchat take place between close friends", unlike some social networks that are designed for people to discover and follow new friends.
However, when asked by the BBC why it had not warned users that the map was about to be launched, the company did not comment.
The National Crime Agency's Child Exploitation and Online Protection command (Ceop) has published guidance for parents who want to know more about Snapchat and Snap Map.
It says parents should encourage children to share their location only in private messaging apps with people they know.
The BBC's Newsround programme has produced this short guide, explaining how to switch off location sharing.
Emily Scarratt, Alex Matthews, Lydia Thompson and Amy Cokayne scored to help them to a 22-8 half-time lead despite several missed chances in Dublin.
They added further tries through Tamara Taylor, Scarratt again, a Danielle Waterman double, Thompson's second and Amy Wilson-Hardy.
Italy replied through efforts from Maria Magatti and Elisa Giordano.
Wales' 15-0 defeat by Canada means they cannot now reach the last four, while in the other Pool A match New Zealand annihilated tournament debutants Hong Kong 121-0.
Hosts Ireland had to fight back from a 14-0 deficit before finally subduing Japan 24-14 in Pool C, with France beating Australia 48-0.
In the other game in England's pool, the United States cruised past Spain 43-0.
The Italians restricted England to a 29-15 win in the Six Nations earlier this year but they were no match for the Red Roses on Sunday.
Much like in their midweek thumping of Spain, England again produced plenty of classy moments but they also threw in a host of handling errors that prevented a thrashing turning into a rout.
The industrious flanker Marlie Packer was outstanding in attack and defence, one minute popping up to charge through the Italian defence near the fringes of the breakdown, the next winning a turnover at a ruck.
Rachael Burford prompted well in midfield and Katy Mclean pulled the strings effectively when she came on at 10 for the second half.
And when the ball went wide outside centre Scarratt and the lively back three of Waterman, Thompson and Wilson-Hardy all looked threatening and took the chance to add to their try tallies for England.
Their biggest concern may be the poor goal-kicking, with only three of the 10 tries converted as Scarratt, so assured in the rest of her game, left her kicking boots at home before handing over to Amber Reed.
England meet the United States in what will be a pool decider on Thursday, 17 August.
England captain Emily Scarratt speaking to ITV: "It was a pretty good day. There's plenty to improve on now for a big game against the USA.
"After the first half we came out with added impetus. Italy threw everything at us and we had to try to break them down.
"We had some good spells and individuals stepped up and showed us what they can do. We're always striving to better though."

The 65-year-old man was on the number 90 bus at Inns Court Avenue in Knowle, on Monday night when a brick smashed through a window and struck his head.
The police said the man's condition had improved but his injuries were "still potentially life-changing".
The teenager attended a Bristol police station following an appeal.
An Avon and Somerset police spokesman said: "The boy was voluntarily interviewed and inquiries are ongoing.
"We're not looking for anyone else in connection with the incident but we are still keen to speak to anyone who witnessed it."

Keith the snake went missing before Fiona Wellington, from Sheffield, sold her car to a garage.
A couple from Bristol then bought the car from the dealer, with the snake emerging while they were driving home on the M5 motorway.
Mrs Wellington spotted a news article on Facebook about Keith and contacted the finders.
It will be led by senior figures from the PSNI, An Garda Síochána, Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs Service and the Irish Revenue Commissioners.
The initiative is part of the Fresh Start deal agreed in November.
The latest details were announced at a meeting of British, Irish and Stormont ministers in Dublin on Monday.
It was attended by Northern Ireland First and Deputy First Ministers Peter Robinson and Martin McGuinness, Stormont Justice Minister David Ford and the Republic of Ireland's justice minister, Frances Fitzgerald.
Irish Minister for Foreign Affairs Charlie Flanagan and Northern Ireland Secretary Theresa Villiers were also present.
The task force was described by Mr Robinson said as an "important milestone" in the agreement.
Mr McGuinness said it provided "renewed energy, focus and additional mechanisms" to tackle what he called the "scourge of criminality on our communities".
Ms Villiers said it showed there was a "concerted effort to tackle cross-jurisdictional organised crime".
"I welcome the establishment of this joint agency task force, which strongly reaffirms the commitment from the United Kingdom government, the Irish Government and Northern Ireland executive to doing all we can to crack down on criminality by paramilitaries and make it absolutely clear that in no circumstances will paramilitary activity be tolerated," she said.
The Fresh Start Agreement outlines plans that would bring together agencies like HM Revenue and Customs, the Police Service of Northern Ireland and the National Crime Agency - the UK's equivalent of the FBI - with their equivalents in the Republic of Ireland.
The task force is expected to have a budget of about £50m.
Earlier on Monday, the British and Irish governments also met to discuss implementing last month's agreement.
Mr Flanagan said he and Ms Villiers "shared the deep disappointment" that Troubles legacy issues were not addressed in November.
He said finding a solution was of "paramount importance for victims and survivors" and for "underpinning peace and reconciliation across our islands".
Mr Flanagan added that both governments would continue to work towards establishing the new institutional framework for dealing with the past agreed in the agreement.
"In the meantime, contacts will continue with victims' groups and the political parties in Northern Ireland to discuss their concerns and explore possible ways forward," he said.
Last month, after 10 weeks of talks, the British and Irish governments and Northern Ireland's two largest parties, the DUP and Sinn Féin, agreed a way forward on paramilitarism and welfare reform.
However, they failed to break the deadlock over legacy issues arising from Northern Ireland's Troubles.

The Scots led 13-10 at half-time and saw a 16-13 lead overturned in a five-minute spell to lose 27-23 in Wales.
"I don't like losing," Cotter told BBC Sport. "There will be information to be taken from that game that will just make us a little bit grumpier.
"We will use that to push for our win. We need to keep improving."
Scotland will travel to Rome, scene of their last Six Nations victory two years ago, to face Italy in a fortnight on 27 February.
Their first win in Cardiff since 2002 looked a distinct possibility for an hour, Tommy Seymour's excellent early try and three Greig Laidlaw penalties helping them into a 16-13 lead.
But tries from Jamie Roberts, after 65 minutes, and George North after 70 proved decisive, Duncan Taylor's late try coming too late to alter the outcome.
"It doesn't get any easier," said captain Laidlaw. "We are getting closer. There were still so many good things but just a couple of soft tries really cost us.
"It shows we can score tries ourselves and we got a nice one at the end there. But a couple of things went awry and we just gave them the game.

"Credit to Wales, they were the better team on the day, but we have to look at ourselves. We can improve on our line-out. At this level you need your line-out ball to keep the squeeze on.
"We got field position but then lost our line-out and gave a couple of daft penalties away, which let them off the hook. It all adds up in the end."
Cotter, who is still waiting for his first Six Nations win after seven attempts, added: "We can't do much about this game now, but we can certainly focus on the next one.
"The attitude was better and if we keep developing that and take it onto the field, hopefully that will allow us to stop the opposition scoring and score more points ourselves."
"Scotland are getting closer. There was a lot of good play but they just fell out of the game for that 15-20 minutes in the second half. Wales used their power players like Jamie Roberts and George North to good effect and Scotland were powerless to stop them.
"They fought back with Duncan Taylor's try but it was just too little, too late. Questions have to be asked of the Scotland defence for the North try - it was a system error. But it was a much better performance and there is so much more to take from this than the England game.
"They were able to express themselves and play their offloading game, and did it very effectively. Ultimately they came up short, but Wales are a very tough side to beat.
"If Scotland play like that and extend it for the full 80 minutes, they can definitely beat Italy and France."
Video captured MasterChef Australia judge George Calombaris being heckled by spectators during the A-League grand final on Sunday.
The chef was seen pointing his finger at the crowd before allegedly pushing a 19-year-old man in the chest.
Mr Calombaris has apologised for the incident, which he said was prompted by abusive comments about his family.
The TV personality's restaurant group recently admitted it had underpaid staff a total of at least A$2.6m (£1.6m; $2m).
A man in the football crowd had reportedly yelled "pay your staff" to Mr Calombaris before the incident on Sunday.
Mr Calombaris - a prominent fan of the losing side, Melbourne Victory - apologised on Monday.
"While I am not proud of my reaction to the situation, I was offended by a spectator yelling out abusive and derogatory comments about my family," he said.
"I have spoken to Melbourne Victory FC and Football Federation Australia today to report the situation and I'm truly sorry that this has happened."
Network Ten, the television station which airs MasterChef Australia, said it would support Mr Calombaris.
"He is not proud of his actions, has taken responsibility for them, and has the full support of Network Ten," a spokeswoman said.
News South Wales Police confirmed a 38-year-old man had been charged with common assault.
Moeen, 25, has committed to a further five years on top of his current deal, while 29-year-old Andrew has signed up for an additional two years.
"We're now seeing the benefits of our hard work," said coach Steve Rhodes. "They are game-changing all-rounders.
"As number three, one-day opener and number one spinner, Moeen is one of the most important players on the staff."
Moeen, younger brother of former Worcestershire and Gloucestershire batsman Kadeer Ali, and cousin of ex-England fast bowler Kabir Ali, moved to New Road from Warwickshire as a teenager in 2007.
"When I first joined the club many people told me what a fantastic place New Road is to play," he said. "And they are right, so I am delighted to commit my long-term future to the county.
"The future for Worcestershire looks good and being a part of it excites me.
"I look forward to helping the club progress back to Division One and win some trophies."
Andrew, signed from his native Somerset in 2008, added: "I'm really happy to extend my stay here at Worcester, and am looking forward to the next two years.
"Hopefully, I'll play an integral part in helping the county progress during what is an exciting time, both on and off the pitch."
Both players were rested this week for Worcestershire's three-day game against Oxford MCCU in The Parks.
Skipper Daryl Mitchell (118), Matt Pardoe (89), Neil Pinner (54 and 80), Joe Leach (55), Ben Cox (52no) and Alexei Kervezee (47) all found their touch with the bat in Worcestershire's 130-run win, while Jack Shantry's second-innings haul of 7-60 was a career-best.
After this Sunday's first YB40 game of the season at Hove, Rhodes' men return to four-day action when they start their first home County Championship game of the season against Leicestershire on Wednesday.
Malorie Bantala, 22, from Peckham, suffered life-threatening injuries and gave birth at 32 weeks to a stillborn boy following the attack.
Kevin Wilson, and a 17-year-old boy, allegedly wore helmets and attacked her when she refused a termination.
Both defendants deny grievous bodily harm and child destruction.
The court heard on 15 June Mr Wilson, of Longfield Estate, Bermondsey, and the boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, attacked Miss Bantala in the street near her south London home.
They focused the attack on her stomach, jurors were told.
Jonathan Rees QC for the prosecution said: "It was a cowardly and callous attack, each male wearing a motorcycle helmet in an apparent effort to conceal his identity.
"It is the prosecution case that one of the attackers was the unborn baby's father - Kevin Wilson.
"He had made it clear that he didn't want the baby to be born and was not pleased when Miss Bantala informed others that he was the father.
"We say that he took matters into his own hands and decided that he would end the pregnancy by violence," he said.
Jurors were told Miss Bantala and Mr Wilson, a teaching assistant, met in the summer of 2011, ahead of their first term at the University of Bedfordshire in Luton, and had a casual relationship over the following few years.
In December 2014, Miss Bantala, then 21, phoned Mr Wilson to tell him she was pregnant and that he was the father, but he replied saying "why are you doing this to me?" and told her he was not ready.
During the attack, the court was told, Miss Bantala recognised the taller male as her ex-boyfriend.
She was said to have been knocked to the ground and "vicious blows" rained on her as she curled up trying to protect her stomach.
The prosecutor said the victim shouted "Kevin" to get them to stop. Neighbours who saw the attack heard her scream and shout "Kevin, I'm going to kill you, watch".
When emergency services arrived, Miss Bantala told police her ex-boyfriend was responsible for the attack, adding: "He doesn't want the baby."
At the hospital doctors were unable to find the baby boy's heartbeat and he was stillborn.
Denying allegations, Mr Wilson told police he was visiting his brother and a friend on his estate.
The trial continues.
The main species affected are buzzards and red kites, 11 of which were illegally killed in 2014.
They are particularly susceptible to poisoned baits as they mainly feed on carrion.
A sparrowhawk and two peregrine falcons were also killed. County Down had the biggest problem with four incidents and there were two in Tyrone.
There was one incident each in Londonderry, Antrim and Armagh.
A number of cases involved the use of a highly toxic pesticide called Carbofuran which was banned across the EU in 2001.
The report was drawn up by the Partnership for Action Against Wildlife Crime, which involves agencies including police, the Environment Agency and wildlife groups.
Report author Dr Eimear Rooney said: "It is heart-breaking to think of the deaths of these birds, but it is particularly shocking to see the continued usage of highly toxic Carbofuran."
Supt Brian Kee said: "It isn't acceptable for birds of prey or any other wildlife to be killed in this way.
"These actions are illegal and the use of toxic poisons is indiscriminate as they put children, pets and livestock at risk too.

Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said the ban would now apply to Iceland, Liechtenstein, Albania and Montenegro.
He said Ukraine would be added in 2016 if an economic agreement between Kiev and the European Union came into force.
The bulldozing of tonnes of Western-produced cheese and other foodstuffs has angered anti-poverty campaigners.
The country began destroying banned produce earlier this month, steamrollering fruit and burning boxes of bacon. Critics say it should be used to feed the poor and hungry.
The move comes after the EU and US introduced sanctions over Russia's annexation of Crimea and actions in eastern Ukraine.
Certain products from EU countries as well as Australia, Canada, Norway and the US were banned in August last year.
Speaking at a cabinet of ministers on Thursday, the PM said Iceland, Liechtenstein, Albania and Montenegro would also now be affected because they had joined EU sanctions against Russia.
"Joining the sanctions is a conscious choice which means readiness for retaliatory measures from our part, which have been adopted," Mr Medvedev said in comments broadcast on state-owned channel Rossiya 24.
The ban includes meat, fish, dairy products, fruit and vegetables.
Mr Medvedev said on Wednesday that the counter-sanctions had given domestic agriculture a significant boost and had not caused shortages, according to Rossiya 24.
Russian authorities have also started burning Dutch flowers, saying they pose a safety risk because they may be infected with pests.
But critics say Russia wants to take revenge on the Netherlands over its handling of the investigation into the downing of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 over rebel-held eastern Ukraine last year.
In a rare move against President Vladimir Putin, Russia's Communist Party announced on Thursday it had submitted a bill to parliament calling for smuggled Western food to be given to the needy instead of being destroyed.
The Kremlin says food cannot be given away because it could be unsafe.
The Scotland international had previously been linked with Norwich City but they have now been outbid by their Championship rivals.
McCormack, 29, joined the Whites in 2014 from Leeds United for a fee believed to be worth £11m.
He has scored 38 league goals in 89 appearances for Fulham, who finished 20th in the Championship last season.
Glasgow-born McCormack, who made his debut with Rangers in May 2004, has a career record of 152 goals in 439 appearances.
If McCormack completes his move to the Midlands, he would become relegated Villa's fourth summer signing.
Since he took charge on 2 June, manager Roberto Di Matteo has added goalkeeper Pierluigi Gollini from Italian side Hellas Verona, as well as signing Bournemouth defender Tommy Elphick and Reading midfielder Aaron Tshibola.
Villa start life back in the second tier of English football with a trip to Sheffield Wednesday on Sunday, 7 August (16:30 BST).

In the past fortnight, a house has been petrol-bombed, vehicles have been crashed into houses and two teenagers' skulls were taken from a grave.
Levi George Price and his brother Gareth died aged 16 in 2001 and 2005 respectively.
Officers seized firearms and vehicles at sites across northern England.
The raids - co-ordinated by Durham Police and involving Northumbria, Cleveland, and North and South Yorkshire forces - found two sub-machine guns and ammunition.
They were carried out in Doncaster, York, Middlesbrough, West Rainton in County Durham, and near the Baltic Centre in Gateshead.
Ch Insp Caroline Dawson said the operation was designed to target just a small group within the travelling community.
The graveyard attack was firmly linked with the ongoing feud, said Det Supt Adrian Green from Durham Police.
Last week, a lorry crashed into the bay window of a semi-detached property in Darlington, days after a horsebox smashed into a home on the outskirts of the town.
Durham Police were called on Saturday to the cemetery at Metal Bridge near Ferryhill following the discovery that the skulls of George and Gareth Price had been stolen.
Gareth Price died after being found hanging at Lancaster Farms Young Offenders' Institution in January 2005, the day before he was to be sentenced for rape.
His death was partly due to failures by agencies, an inquest jury said.
Levi Price also hanged himself, in the garden of the family home in Ferryhill, in 2001. The coroner found he could not be sure the teenager intended to kill himself.
Several arrests have been made but the skulls have not been found.
Four men, all from the Doncaster area, were separately charged on Wednesday with conspiracy to commit grievous bodily harm. The charges are unrelated to the skull thefts.
Craig Price, 37, John Watson, 28, and David Watson, 28, have been remanded to appear before Sheffield Crown Court on 22 December.

A Jamie Brennan goal helped the hosts to a 1-8 to 0-6 half-time lead, with Paddy McGrath and Paddy McBrearty also finding the net as Donegal dominated.
Conor Small grabbed a late goal for Antrim, for whom the impressive CJ McGourty top-scored with six points.
Antrim had Matthew Fitzpatrick carried off with ankle ligament damage.

Antrim began the game brightly and found themselves level at 0-4 apiece thanks to some fine counter-attacking play and clinical finishing which saw them register four points from their first four attacks.
McGourty and Tomas McCann landed a couple of points each for the Saffrons early on and ended the opening period with three and two points respectively, Stephen Beatty adding the other score.
Ciaran Thompson and Michael Murphy helped keep the scoreboard ticking over for the home side, before Brennan gathered and rifled a right-foot shot into the net, adding a point for good measure, to put five points between the teams by the interval.
McGourty missed a goalscoring chance for the Saffrons in the first half, firing a left-foot shot wide, while Fitzpatrick turned and shot wide of the target for the visitors just one minute before Brennan found the net at the other end.
Fitzpatrick, who had been at the centre of a disciplinary wrangle during the week as he had an initial 48-week ban overturned on appeal, was carried off injured before the break.

The second half had an air of inevitability about it as Donegal extended their advantage, inspired by skipper Michael Murphy, who took his tally to six points with the help of an audacious long-range score from 50 metres.
McGrath shrugged off the challenge of goalkeeper Chris Kerr to dispatch Donegal's second goal, with substitute McBrearty adding the third in time added on for injuries to make his contribution 1-2.
Two other substitutes, Michael Langon and Karl Lacey, also made their impact on the scoreboard as the home side ran out comfortable victors.
McGourty continued to knock over scores for Antrim, with Small driving a right-foot shot into the top corner in the final action of the game for a consolation.

Donegal will face either Tyrone or Derry in the first of the Ulster Championship semi-finals on 18 June. Antrim will take their place in the draw for round one of the qualifiers.
Donegal manager Rory Gallagher: "It was a poor game which never really caught fire, it was very 'stop-start', but we were well in control and I'm happy to be in the next round.
"It took us a while to settle down and it was a pretty average performance from us but the goals brightened up the day.
"The semi-final against Tyrone or Derry will give us a better reflection of where we are at."
Antrim joint-manager Gearoid Adams: "We are very disappointed with our second half performance. It was men against boys so we have no complaints.
"We gave a good display in the first half but in the end it showed that it was a Division One team against a Division Three or Four team. They took their scoring opportunities, we didn't."

It will be one of a series of missions that prepares for the return of humans to the surface and a possible permanent settlement.
The spacecraft will assess whether there is water, and raw materials to make fuel and oxygen.
BBC News has obtained exclusive details of the mission, called Luna 27, which is set for launch in five years' time.
The mission is one of a series led by the Russian federal space agency, Roscosmos, to go back to the Moon.
These ventures will continue where the exploration programme that was halted by the Soviet Union in the mid 1970s left off, according to Prof Igor Mitrofanov, of the Space Research Institute in Moscow, who is one of the lead scientists.
"We have to go to the Moon. The 21st Century will be the century when it will be the permanent outpost of human civilisation, and our country has to participate in this process," he told BBC News.
But unlike efforts in the 1960s and 70s, when the Soviet Union was working in competition with the US and other nations, he added, "we have to work together with our international colleagues".
Bérengère Houdou, who is the head of the lunar exploration group of at Esa's European Space Research and Technology Centre (Estec), just outside Amsterdam, has a similar strategy.
"We have an ambition to have European astronauts on the Moon. There are currently discussions at international level going on for broad cooperation on how to go back to the Moon."
One of the first acts of the new head of the European Space Agency, Johann-Dietrich Wörner, was to state that he wants international partners to build a base on the Moon's far side.
The initial missions will be robotic. Luna 27 will land on the edge of the South Pole Aitken (SPA) basin. The south polar region has areas which are always dark. These are some of the coldest places in the Solar System. As such, they are icy prisons for water and other chemicals that have been shielded from heating by the Sun.
According to Dr James Carpenter, Esa's lead scientist on the project, one of the main aims is to investigate the potential use of this water as a resource for the future, and to find out what it can tell us about the origins of life in the inner Solar System.
"The south pole of the Moon is unlike anywhere we have been before," he said.
"The environment is completely different, and due to the extreme cold there you could find large amounts of water-ice and other chemistry which is on the surface, and which we could access and use as rocket fuel or in life-support systems to support future human missions we think will go to these locations."

Back in the heady days of the Apollo missions, it seemed almost inevitable that those astounding but brief trips to the Moon would be followed by something more permanent. But the notion of colonies soon proved to be science fantasy. After the last of 12 astronauts left their boot prints in the lunar dust in 1972, the US government and taxpayers collectively declared, "been there, done that". America had scored a dazzling point over the Soviet Union but at eye-watering cost, so the final three planned Apollo missions were cancelled.
For a while, our nearest neighbour in space seemed rather unappealing. But then, over recent years, came a series of discoveries about the lunar dust itself, suggesting that the Moon holds water and minerals that could conceivably help support a settlement, if anyone has the appetite to pay for it. So a new batch of missions is under way. China seems to be particularly eager, launching increasingly capable robotic craft that could pave the way for human flights, sometime in the 2030s.
In all probability, the next boots on the Moon will be Chinese. One of China's leading space scientists told me how he even envisages opening lunar mines to extract valuable resources such as Helium-3. Throughout history, humanity has gazed at the Moon through different eyes. In the 1960s, it was the scene for Cold War rivalry. Now it is seen as a potential staging-post for longer journeys and as a rock waiting to be dug up and exploited.
Prof Mitrofanov says that there are scientific and commercial benefits to be had by building a permanent human presence on the lunar surface.
"It will be for astronomical observation, for the utilisation of minerals and other lunar resources and to create an outpost that can be visited by cosmonauts working together as a test bed for their future flight to Mars."
Esa and its industrial collaborators are developing a new type of landing system able to target areas far more precisely than the missions in the 1960s and 70s. The so-called "Pilot" system uses on-board cameras to navigate and a laser guidance system which is able to sense the terrain while approaching the surface and be able to decide for itself whether the landing site is safe or not, and if necessary to re-target to a better location.
Europe is also providing the drill which is designed to go down to 2m and collect what might be hard, icy samples. According to Richard Fisackerly, the project's lead engineer, these samples might be harder than reinforced concrete and so the drill will need to be extremely strong.
"We are currently looking at the technologies we would need to penetrate that type of material and are looking at having both rotation and hammering functions. The final architecture has yet to be decided - but this combination of rotation, hammering and depth is a step beyond what we have already flown or is in development today," he told BBC News.
Esa will also provide the onboard miniaturised laboratory, called ProSPA. It will be similar to the instrument on the Philae lander, which touched down on the surface of Comet 67P last year. But ProSPA will be tuned to searching for the key ingredients with which to make water, oxygen, fuel and other materials that can be exploited by future astronauts.
The instrument will help scientists discover out how much of these critical resources are under the surface, and, crucially, whether they can be extracted easily.
Europe's participation in the mission is due to receive final approval at a meeting of ministers in late 2016. It has the strong support of Esa and Roscosmos hierarchy, and the scientists involved in Luna 27 are confident that it is not a question of if but when humans go back to the lunar surface.
"This whole series of missions feels like the beginning of the return to the Moon but it is also starting something new in terms of overall exploration of the Solar System," says Mr Fisackerly.

Past outbreaks have devastated great ape populations, particularly gorillas, where the virus is estimated to have wiped out a third of the primates.
A scientific team now says that wild gorillas could be vaccinated to protect the critically endangered animals from further losses.
However some conservationists warn that this would be difficult and has risks.
The study is published in the journal Scientific Reports.
Dr Peter Walsh, from the University of Cambridge, who led the research, told BBC News: "Now that we have shown this is a safe vaccine, it's really a moral imperative that we use it.
"The disease is a huge threat to gorillas right now. We vaccinate our children, we vaccinate livestock, we vaccinate our pets, we vaccinate wildlife - why aren't we vaccinating our closest relatives?"
Gorilla losses
The outbreak of Ebola in West Africa that started in 2013 highlighted the devastating toll that the disease can have in humans: more than 11,000 people are estimated to have died.
But now there is a vaccine that has been shown to be 100% effective against the disease, and the hope is that it will prevent anything on this scale from happening again.
Some scientists say gorillas could benefit from immunization, too.
And Ebola in humans and great apes is closely linked. Many human outbreaks have started after people came into contact with infected gorilla or chimp carcasses or bushmeat (the 2014 outbreak is not thought to have started this way but instead through contact with Ebola-carrying bats).
The disease is extremely deadly for our primate cousins: if chimps or gorillas are infected, there is a 90-98% chance that they will die.
Many thousands of gorillas, which are also facing threats from poaching and habitat loss, are thought to have died from the disease.
"There are whole areas, hundreds of kilometres in every direction, that have just been wiped out of gorillas," said Dr Walsh.
To see if immunization could help, a vaccine was tested on 10 captive chimpanzees at a research centre at the University of Louisiana Lafayette in the US.
Because chimps and gorillas are so closely related, the researchers assumed that if the vaccine worked in chimps it would work for gorillas also.
Six animals were given the drug by mouth and four were injected with it.
"We found the vaccine gave a very robust immune response and didn't cause any health complications," said Dr Walsh.
Dr Walsh acknowledged the trial was small, but said it was stopped early when a ban on the use of chimpanzees in biomedical research came into force in the US in 2015.
He added that most other parts of the world either have moratoriums or bans on great ape research, and said that sanctuaries and zoos were either unwilling or unequipped to carry out trials.
"Effectively, we just have to start doing it in the wild now," he explained.
He wants to see if lacing sweet treats with the vaccine or using remotely operated sprays or darts could help to immunize wild animals.
He is also looking at how to ensure the vaccine remains effective and stable in the heat of the forest and wants to further examine the dosage.
Liz Macfie, vice chair of the International Union for Conservation of Nature's section on great apes, said that the results of the trial were encouraging and promising.
But she told the BBC that rolling out a wider vaccination programme would be difficult.
She said: "Some wild apes are habituated to tourists or researchers' presence, so some you can approach. But the majority of the populations are completely unhabituated and it would be very difficult to provide a vaccine into a group of unhabituated apes."
She also said there were some concerns about safety.
"There's always the risk when you use a vaccine on wild animals that there is an associated pathology or infections that might spread… It's a small sample size that [this vaccine] has been tested in and we don't really know about all of the other effects."
But she added that conservationists now needed to come together to look at studies like this and assess the best way forward.
These thoughts were echoed by Sarah Olson, associate director of wildlife epidemiology for the Wildlife Conservation Society.
"An oral vaccine formulation would need to be stable and edible, as gorillas are really picky eaters, safe for target and non-target species impacts, and effective and affordable," she said.
"There are other vaccine approaches under consideration but they will all require more research."
However, Dr Walsh told the BBC that the situation was urgent.
"The Ebola situation is quiet right now in Africa, and there is a danger that people are going to think: 'Oh, that's not a problem anymore, we don't have to worry about it'.
"But believe me, it's been quiet before and then it's come roaring back.
"And that's why, instead of waiting for the crisis, we need to start to develop the tools to protect these animals in the future."

Trying to check his benefit balance, he got through to a sex line instead.
In an unfortunate misprint on some cards, the number to report lost and stolen cards put callers through to a live chat line.
The Maine Department of Health and Human Services said it was aware the number was wrong by one digit.
When LJ Langelier, 25, called the number before taking his son shopping, a recorded voice gave him an unexpected invitation: "Welcome to America's hottest talk line. Ladies, to talk with interesting and exciting guys free, press one now."
"It played over my car speaker, I was like, 'Wow, I must have messed that number up somehow really bad'," he told the Bangor Daily news. "I look at the card, I dial it the exact same way again, and it keeps happening. I thought it was just hilarious."
When he checked with friends, they turned out to have the same misprint.
In its defence, the human services department says the company that operates the sex line searches for phone numbers that are very similar to widely published government phone numbers and buys them to take advantage of consumers misdialling.
It said the number was being corrected on all new cards.
Stephen Hough, 58, is on trial at Mold Crown Court for the rape and murder of 15-year-old Janet Commins in Flint.
Consultant forensic pathologist Dr Brian Rodgers said he thought Janet died "of the effects of restraint".
The late Dr Reuben Woodcock, who conducted the post mortem examination in 1976, concluded she suffocated, probably while being sexually attacked.
He said internal pinpoint haemorrhages were due to asphyxia and a lack of severe injuries to her body suggested she had not struggled violently.
Consultant forensic Home Office pathologist Dr Rodgers agreed with Dr Woodcock's conclusion that Janet's body had probably been dragged to the location where it was found.
But he said he could not agree that internal petechial haemorrhages - tiny spots of blood - meant she was definitely asphyxiated.
He said these were also found when people were suffocated and if a person had been strangled, he would have expected to see similar haemorrhages on their face.
"I don't know whether they were there and not noticed or whether they were not there," he said.
Asked his opinion on the cause of death, he replied: "I think it's a combination of things. I think this girl has essentially died of the effects of restraint.
"In situations of high physical stress... if you are in a face-down position... it compromises your breathing."
Cross-examined by Patrick Harrington QC for the defence, Dr Rodgers agreed the evidence suggested Janet probably died quickly.
Mr Hough also denies sexual assault and manslaughter and the trial continues.
The 55-year-old, who did not take training on Friday, had said earlier this summer he was uncertain of his future at Hull, who are up for sale.
A breakdown in his relationship with vice-chairman Ehab Allam contributed to his departure.
He was interviewed by the Football Association for the England job, which Sam Allardyce has now taken.
Bruce is odds-on favourite with some bookmakers to return to former club Sunderland and replace Allardyce.
Former Manchester United captain Bruce became Hull boss in 2012, and led them to promotion last season.
During his time at the KC Stadium, he led the team to two Premier League promotions, an FA Cup final and Europa League qualification.
He raised doubts about his position following the play-off final win over Sheffield Wednesday in May.
He suggested at the time he could leave the East Yorkshire outfit unless there were "certain assurances that we're all moving in the right direction".
In June he said it was "business as usual", but once again fuelled speculation about his future in July by stating any new owners of the club might want him replaced.
Earlier this week, Hull said they would put takeover talks on hold until September to "ensure stability during the transfer window".
Injuries have left the club with only 13 fit players, and they said they would look to strengthen the squad in the "coming weeks".
They open the Premier League season by hosting champions Leicester on Saturday, 13 August.
Bruce began his managerial career with brief spells at Sheffield United, Huddersfield Town, Wigan Athletic and Crystal Palace before a six-year stay at Birmingham City. He twice helped the Blues win promotion to the top flight before returning to Wigan in 2007.
Bruce was then brought in by Sunderland in 2009, before he was sacked two years later with the club in 16th position.

An archaeological excavation in Clones, County Monaghan, had failed to uncover the remains of the castle.
But, unknown to the experts the walls of the four-storey building were still standing nearby.
The walls were covered in ivy and hidden in undergrowth but there were clues that had been overlooked.
It was found behind a Georgian terrace known as Castle Street, which contains a building called Castle House.
Monaghan county heritage officer Shirley Clerkin said it shows "when you start opening your eyes, looking afresh at things, you can rediscover really, really interesting buildings".
She said although the castle was hidden in plain sight, no one had been really looking for it.
"There had been an excavation done in a southerly direction from here looking for the castle as part of a commercial dig but they didn't really find any upstanding remains and then we assumed there was no castle here," she said.
She came across the building a few months ago along with local historian George Knight when they explored an area just a few metres away from the Diamond in the centre of the town.
"We crossed over a lot of barbed wire, a lot of brambles, woody-stuff and we came in front of this building and looked up at the front wall and realised we were standing in front of something potentially very significant," she said.
"This building had been re-used as an agricultural building and had been completely forgotten about from the point of view of it being a potential castle candidate.
"I think there was probably a wee bit of folklore around it - kids maybe played here when they were young and pretended it was a castle and they were absolutely right, it is a castle."
George Knight said he was aware the building existed but experts had previously dismissed it "with a cursory glance" as being "of no great historical importance".
"It has been used as a rubbish dump for many years. The joists carrying the first floor, only one is still in place the rest have collapsed down," he said.
"We think the original slate roof has probably collapsed down into the building as well."
The fortified house is thought to have been built in the 1600s by the local landlords, the Lennard-Barret family, who may only have lived in it for 50 years until the outbreak of the Jacobite wars in 1688.
It is shown on a 1741 drawing of Clones in the collection of the National Library in Dublin along with the town's other historical landmarks.
"Clones has a lot of historical depth to it We already have early Christian sites here, we have an Augustinian abbey, a motte and bailey from Norman times and this is the next piece of the jigsaw," Shirley Clerkin said.
"We have what we believe here to be a remnant of the plantation castle that we can see on the 1741 drawing.
"It means that Clones really has got little bits of every period in Irish history upstanding in the town."
Local volunteers have been cutting back some of the undergrowth to reveal more of the building, including the musket slits, fortified door, corbels and wooden floor beams.
An open day has been held for people to come and see the castle and learn more about its history.
Archaeologists will return to Clones to carry out excavations involving the local community to see what other artefacts can be unearthed.
George Knight said the discovery has become the talk of the town and people were keen to learn more about the history hidden on their doorstep.
"It really is a missing link in the story of Clones, a unique building and something that we're very keen to preserve for future generations," he said.
"We hope that any artefacts found will remain here in Clones and the building and the artefacts associated with it will tell the full story and the history of what happened within these walls."
Shirley Clerkin is convinced that there are more discoveries to be made.
"I think this place has got unlimited potential," she said.
"We already have two tunnels, we have one under the staircase here and we have one in the wall outside and there's lots of legends of tunnels in Clones, so I think maybe this is one of those little links and it's a tantalising glimpse of the past."
The Dubai-based airline said the change was due to weaker demand for US travel.
In March, the US banned electronic devices larger than a mobile phone from cabin luggage on flights from 10 airports.
This included Dubai, as well as from other airports in the Middle East, north Africa and Turkey.
The UK imposed similar rules to the US.
US President Donald Trump has also signed two executive orders to bar refugees and nationals of several Muslim-majority countries in the Middle East and north Africa from travelling to the US. Those bans have been contested in court.
An Emirates spokeswoman said: "The recent actions taken by the US government relating to the issuance of entry visas, heightened security vetting and restrictions on electronic devices in aircraft cabins have had a direct impact on consumer interest and demand for air travel into the US.
"Over the past three months, we have seen a significant deterioration in the booking profiles on all our US routes, across all travel segments."
Emirates president Tim Clark said last month that demand to the US had fallen by about a third since Mr Trump's announcements.
The airline has also introduced new services to cope with the laptop ban, lending tablets to premium passengers and offering to check in electronics at the gate.
Emirates said it will reduce direct flights to Fort Lauderdale and Orlando to five a week in May from the present one a day.
The airline will also cut back its twice-daily flights to Seattle and Boston in June to one a day, with a similar frequency for Los Angeles from July.
However Etihad, its smaller Abu Dhabi-based rival, said it had not seen a significant change in demand for travel to the US in recent weeks. The airline flies to six US cities.
Emirates started flying to North America in 2004. It now serves 12 US destinations, launching its most recent route, between Athens and Newark, last month.
Its expansion has led to conflict with US airlines, which have accused the group of receiving government subsidies.

He said: "It is not a secret that our supporters are demanding that we win the Champions League this year.
"We want to add a ninth star to our shirts and to play again in the FIFA Club World Cup, where we have not performed to our full potential in past appearances.
"Our ambition is to win every competition we play in."
The win over Coton Sport in Garou on Wednesday means that Zanaco are all but guaranteed a place in the last eight.
Elsewhere, Taddy Etekiama, once banned for using two names and a fake passport, scored twice on Tuesday to throw Vita Club of DR Congo a Champions League lifeline.
His goals gave the Kinshasa outfit a 2-1 home victory over previously unbeaten Saint George of Ethiopia in a Group C clash they had to take maximum points from.
Esperance of Tunisia are another team one win away from the knockout stage, and that could come at home Wednesday in Group C against title-holders Mamelodi Sundowns of South Africa.
The two-time African champions are tipped to win after a 2-1 victory in Pretoria this month thanks to a brace from Tunisian international Taha Yassine Khenissi.
The other Group C tie, between Saint George of Ethiopia and AS Vita Club of DR Congo, produced a 2-1 win for the Congolese side - their first victory of the campaign.
Zamalek of Egypt, runners-up to Sundowns last year, visit 2015 beaten finalists USM Alger of Algeria for a Group B top-of-the-table showdown.
Al Hilal of Sudan surprisingly held Group A pacesetters Etoile du Sahel in Tunisia last time out and will hope home advantage in Omdurman can help them claim all three points this time.
The collision happened just before 17:00 BST on Tuesday near Bond Street Underground station. The driver of the number 73 stopped at the scene and has not been arrested.
The woman was taken by air ambulance to hospital with head injuries.
It is the second incident in two days involving a bus and a pedestrian in the same place.
On Monday, an 82-year-old man was hit at the junction of New Bond Street. He is in a critical but stable condition.
London Mayor Sadiq Khan has announced he is looking into making Oxford Street a pedestrian-only zone.
The move is part of his plans to make the area less polluted, and to create a "tree-lined avenue from Tottenham Court Road to Marble Arch".
In his manifesto, he said he wanted to start with car-free days before making the area fully pedestrianised.
The incident happened in Insch in August last year.
The Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) said the 59-year-old pilot lost power and decided a field was the best landing option. The microlight struck the ground and flipped over.
The cause of the power loss has not been identified.
Kashket's deflected shot early in the second half was enough to settle the match at Adams Park despite a tense end to the game.
Jamal Lowe, making his first start for Pompey since his January move from Hampton & Richmond, was just inches away from opening his account with a smart left-footed strike just wide of the right-hand post.
But that was the best effort for Pompey, who suffered a frustrating afternoon at the hands of a well-drilled and professional Wycombe outfit.
Kashket netted the decisive goal with just three minutes played of the second half, though he needed a generous deflection to wrong-foot keeper David Forde, who could only watch helplessly as the ball trickled past him and into the bottom corner.
Despite an astonishing nine minutes of stoppage time played by referee Graham Salisbury, it was not enough for Pompey, who failed to create any notable openings for an equaliser as Wycombe ground out victory.

RBS and Lloyds have only allowed customers with basic bank accounts to use their own bank's ATM network.
But now, in a bid to win customers' trust, these account holders will start to be able to use the full UK network of cash machines.
Basic accounts do not offer overdrafts or cheque books, and may be given to those with a chequered credit history.
RBS has about one million customers of basic bank accounts, which used to be called Step or Cash accounts.
The restriction was put in place in 2011, with these customers only being able to withdraw money from RBS, NatWest, Tesco or Morrisons cash machines, or at Post Office branches over the counter.
The bank had said that allowing basic bank account customers to use other banks' machines was unsustainable because of the cost. The host bank has to pay a fee to other banks who allow their ATMS to be used for transactions.
A spokesman said the new policy would be effective before the end of the year.
The new chief executive of the RBS Group, Ross McEwan, said he wanted to win back the trust of customers.
"We know that we have to make banking easier for all of our customers, particularly those with stretched finances who work hard to make ends meet," said a spokesman for RBS.
"Lifting the ATM restriction for basic bank account customers is a step towards earning back that trust, and will make a huge difference to those who have struggled to access their money."
Lloyds has now revealed that it is writing to basic account holders to tell them that they will have the same freedom, starting in some cases from July.
Beef Products Inc (BPI) argues ABC and its journalist ruined its reputation in 2012 reports on "lean finely textured beef", as the industry calls it.
BPI says ABC's "disinformation campaign" caused the meat processer's revenues to drop by 80%.
They are suing ABC for up to $5.7bn (£4.4bn) in damages.
During a hearing in January, a lawyer for BPI told the judge that ABC had engaged in "fake news".
In the reporting by ABC's Jim Avila, the term "pink slime" was used 137 times, as he described the process which creates it.
Could 'pink slime' be rebranded?
The beef trimmings are placed in a centrifuge in order to separate the lean meat from fat, before it is treated with ammonia to remove bacteria.
The term "pink slime" was coined by Gerald Zirnstein, a former Agriculture Department scientist, who initially used it in an email to colleagues in 2002.
Grocery stores across America dropped products containing "pink slime" after the ABC reports aired.
The processed trimmings were also once found in fast-food served by McDonald's, Taco Bell and Burger King.
BPI, which primarily produces the beef trimmings, shut down three of its four production plants following the reports.
ABC lawyers argue they are protected under the US constitution's first amendment, which ensures a free press.
The television network, which is owned by Walt Disney Company, argues that BPI must prove ABC's reporters acted with "actual malice" to harm the company.
"We believe in the principle that people deserve to know what's in the food they eat and are confident that when all the facts are presented in court, ABC's reporting will be fully vindicated," said Kevin Baine, a lawyer representing ABC.
The trial in the rural town of Elk Point, population 2,000, just north of BPI's headquarters, is expected to last eight weeks.
Baker was aboard Boomerang Bob on the frozen lake track when the horse was brought down and fatally injured.
The bleed was discovered in an MRI scan on Friday, but the Professional Jockeys Association are "hopeful he will make a positive recovery".
Baker, 34, remains in intensive care in a Swiss hospital.
Racing has taken place for decades on the frozen lake at St Moritz, with horses fitted with special shoes to cope with the wintry conditions.
Race organiser White Turf said a crack was found in the ice when the track was checked after Baker's fall.
It added: "This meant that water had come up to undermine the racetrack."
Oxfordshire-based Baker won the world's oldest classic, the St Leger, last September on Harbour Law.
His fellow jockey Christophe Soumillon, who was also riding at St Moritz, told French news agency Equidia: "Turning into the straight, the snow was only up to the horses' shoes.
"You could see by the prints afterwards that there was water between the ice and the snow."
The women were rescued from the house in the suburb of Gurgaon on Monday after a tip-off from an NGO.
They say they were held captive by his family and starved and sexually abused by them and other Saudi nationals.
The Saudi embassy denied the charges. Police say the official has diplomatic immunity and is in the embassy.
They have registered a case of rape, sodomy and illegal confinement against the official, without naming him.
The two women, aged 30 and 50, were apparently lured away from Nepal with promises of fake jobs, The Hindu reports.
The alleged abuse to which they were subjected took place over several months at the apartment in Gurgaon, south of Delhi.
Confirming the official had immunity, Gurgaon police chief Navdeep Singh Virk said the women had told the police the diplomat's family "had hired them and taken them to Jeddah a few months back for working as maids".
The women worked in Jeddah for about a month and then returned to the apartment in Gurgaon where they continued to work as maids.
"[The women] allege that the Saudi Arabian family detained them for the past four-five months, and they were not allowed to go out of the house, and during this period they were beaten up, raped and abused and threatened by the family and their guests," Mr Virk said.
Police raided the apartment late on Monday and rescued the women.
"The women were brought to the police station and later sent to the hospital for a medical examination that confirmed rape and sexual assault," senior Gurgaon police official Rajesh Kumar Chechi told The Indian Express newspaper.
The women told the Times Now television channel they were never abused at the embassy official's house in Saudi Arabia and that the violence started only after they returned to India.
"They would beat us every night and often there was more than one man who would torture and rape us," one of the women said. "We have marks all over our body."
Mr Virk said the police had provided the "requisite information" to India's foreign ministry.
Nepal's embassy said earlier it was waiting for the police investigation to end before it launched a diplomatic complaint, Reuters reported.
Thousands of men and women from Nepal, one of the world's poorest countries, travel to India and other Asian and Arab states every year to seek work as domestic servants and labourers.
Dutch legend Cruyff died from cancer last Thursday at the age of 68.
An image of Cruyff will appear on big screens in the 14th minute, reflecting the number worn by the former Barcelona and Ajax player and coach.
England will also wear black armbands and there will be a minute's silence to mark the Brussels terror attacks.
Angela Merkel is a texter: she does it all the time. There she is during a debate, thumbs going furiously.
Sometimes she texts colleagues across the chamber, and then looks up and catches their eye to check they have got the message.
In her office in the Kanzleramt - the Chancellery - it lies on the floor, charging. But the rest of the time, it is not far from her hand.
Since she has learnt that others might be reading her messages at the National Security Agency in Maryland outside Washington, she has said that she doesn't plan to change her habits.
An enterprising German company has marketed what it calls the Chancellor Phone - one so secure that prying eyes and ears cannot intrude.
The chancellor will no doubt use the Chancellor Phone - but you cannot doubt that recent events have shaken her.
In Germany, particularly in East Germany where Angela Merkel grew up, people feel strongly about the state tapping phones and bugging rooms.
In the east of Berlin, an amazing complex of buildings houses what was once the headquarters of the ministry of state security, the Ministerium fur Staatssicherheit - the Stasi.
Today, the headquarters is a museum and a home for the vast archive where East Germans can learn who spied on whom.
One Berlin politician learnt after the Berlin Wall came down that her husband had spied on her. She divorced him.
The offices themselves now display all the paraphernalia of eavesdropping - the hollow tree-trunks with a hole for the camera; the jacket buttons that turn out to be lenses. The spying of the past is there for all to see.
When communism collapsed, there were 91,000 people working for the Stasi.
It is easy to find maps showing old Stasi premises, and just in the area where I live in Berlin, there are seven places used by the spooks of the Stasi - seven secret flats within an area not much bigger than a football field. That's how pervasive spying on citizens was.
Just behind where I live, 79 Dunckerstrasse was, it turns out, rented by the Stasi.
At the end of my square - Helmholzplatz - there was an apartment which purported to be for students but which was actually the place where one Major Grabner and his colleague, Wolf, met informers.
At the other end of the square, there is now a bright blue door between a second-hand clothes shop and a chi-chi restaurant. This used to be the door through which informers would go.
Everybody knew what was going on. After all, Chancellor Kohl used to go off to telephone boxes to make sensitive calls when he was the leader of West Germany - he assumed the official phones he used might be tapped by the East German authorities.
So when Angela Merkel says now that friends do not spy on friends, she means what she says. She knows about it.
But perhaps Chancellor Merkel has just been too trusting despite growing up in a police state. I've noticed how she seems to have far less security in general than do other world leaders.
I once went to a meeting she was addressing, a big meeting with demonstrators. One man was striding up and down along the entrance hall, waiting for her. He had a long stick with a banner on the end of it.
I can remember thinking as she was about to arrive that he was not going to be allowed to remain there, right on her route as she walked by.
And sure enough, the police went up to him. There was a long discussion. But instead of him being carted off, as would have happened in the United States or, I think, Britain, he was told that the big stick was a problem.
He was welcome to stay and wave the banner in her face, but not with the stick.
I found that refreshing. And also the way she keeps texting.
What did the Americans learn? Only they know. It would be nice to think that it was nothing more useful than: "I'll be back from Brussels later, dear. Why don't you get a couple of schnitzel from the corner shop?"
The 21-year-old Republic of Ireland Under-21 international has signed an initial two-year deal with the Latics, with the option of a further 12 months.
Duffus did not make a senior appearance for Everton but helped their under-23 side win Premier League 2 last season.
He previously had a loan spell with Bury in 2014, making five appearances for the Shakers.

The first exercise, a staged attack on the financial sector, will take place later this year, Downing Street said.
The "unprecedented" arrangement between the two countries was announced by Prime Minister David Cameron ahead of talks with US President Barack Obama.
The two men discussed a range of other issues, including counter-terrorism.
They are holding a press conference in the Oval Office of The White House after talks lasting about an hour.
Mr Cameron has previously said in relation to cyber attacks that there should be no "means of communication" which "we cannot read".
He is expected to talk to the US president about getting companies such as Google and Facebook to allow governments to view encrypted messages.
In terms of the planned cyber war games Downing Street said they will aim to improve the flow of information between the US and UK about threats.
No 10 said agents will co-operate in "cyber cells", involving MI5 and the FBI, and they will be the first the UK has established with another country.
Speaking to BBC political editor Nick Robinson after arriving in Washington on Thursday night for a two-day visit, Mr Cameron said cyber attacks were "one of the big modern threats that we face".
The first war game will involve the Bank of England and commercial banks, targeting the City of London and Wall Street, and will be followed by "further exercises to test critical national infrastructure", Downing Street said.
Money will also be made available to train "the next generation" of cyber agents.
Analysis by Gordon Corera, BBC security correspondent
The tensions and confusions over what cyber security means are all too apparent this week.
Is it about defending corporate networks against hostile attackers of the type who targeted Sony? That's the focus of today's announcements about war-gaming and threat cells.
Or is it about getting hold of data and communications about terrorists? That seemed to be the focus earlier in the week, with briefings that the visit would focus on getting US companies to be more helpful in providing data to British authorities.
The two are different in focus and it is not yet clear how much progress on the latter the prime minister will make with a president whose relations with the tech sector are already difficult post-Snowden.
There is also some tricky overlap between the two fields, for instance on how far information should be encrypted so it cannot be read or stolen.
Encryption may foil foreign cyber spies but also stymie law enforcement.
The measures come in the wake of the recent hacking of Sony Pictures' computers and the US military's Central Command's Twitter feed, where comments were posted promoting Islamic State (IS) militants.
The cyber attack on Sony Pictures led to data being leaked from its computers exposing emails and personal details about staff and stars.
The hackers, who called themselves #GOP or Guardians of Peace, also threatened cinema chains planning to screen Sony's satirical North Korea comedy, The Interview, the plot of which involves a bid to assassinate the country's leader Kim Jong-un.
Sony initially cancelled the film's release after leading US cinema groups said they would not screen it, a move which Mr Obama later described as "a mistake".
Mr Obama has said cyber threats were an "urgent and growing danger" and unveiled domestic proposals to strengthen the law.
The UK's National Audit Office warned in 2013 that a lack of skilled workers was hampering the fight against cyber crime.
Mr Cameron said the UK was already prepared for a cyber attack, saying GCHQ had "massive expertise", but added more needed to be done.
He said: "We need to be able in extremis to interrupt the contact between terrorists.
"It's also about protecting people's data, people's finances - these attacks can have real consequences to people's prosperity."
The BBC's technology correspondent Rory Cellan-Jones said there had been a lot of concern over Mr Cameron's inference that governments should be able to view encrypted data.
He said not only were civil rights groups worried, but major players in the technology industry said banning encrypted messages could harm British trade if UK companies were seen to be not private.
Our correspondent also told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that smaller social networking sites were just as well used by potential hackers as the well-known ones.
He said he had found an example of an exchange on the site Ask.fm which appeared to be from an IS fighter asking another user which country he should go to for weapons training.
In relation to the site being used for this type of communication Doug Leeds, the chief executive of Ask.com, which owns Ask.fm, said: "We have taken some action, and we're looking to take more, what we have done so far is beef up our filters to try and look for patterns that would suggest that this is going on."
Howard Schmidt, a former eBay and Microsoft executive, told the BBC attitudes around privacy and the right to encrypt personal data were still hotly debated in the US in light of the revelations disclosed by fugitive US intelligence leaker Edward Snowden.
Among other things, Snowden's leaks detailed the National Security Agency's practice of harvesting data on millions of telephone calls made in the US and around the world, and revealed the CIA intelligence agency had snooped on foreign leaders.
A recent report by GCHQ, the UK government's communications security agency, on the issue of cyber attacks said that more than 80% of large UK companies experienced some form of security breach in 2014, and attacks were on the rise.
Wholesale Clearance UK based in Poole, Dorset, bought the mugs as factory seconds after a mix-up by an employee at the manufacturers.
They are now being sold off as novelty items.
A quarter of the consignment of 2,000 mugs were bought by people in the US.
Andy White of Wholesale Clearance UK, which specialises in buying end-of-line stock and factory seconds, said it had knowingly bought the mugs when they were offloaded by a merchandising company.
He said a new employee had been tasked with sourcing images for a range of "unofficial market-stall type mugs", but the incorrect image was missed when the designs were checked.
Mr White said there were "not that many left", with 500 being sold to US buyers.
He admitted to having kept one for himself.
"Every now and again something strange crops up and, with the interest in social media, it goes crazy.
"They are a real novelty value. Once they are gone, they're gone."
The man, aged 78, and his 71-year-old wife, were in a Seat Ibiza that was in collision with a Citroen DS5 near Bowes on Wednesday afternoon.
The couple, from Lanarkshire, were both declared dead at the scene.
Durham Police said the driver of the Citroen - a 61-year-old man from Doncaster - was taken to Darlington Memorial Hospital with minor injuries.
The dead couple have yet to be formally identified.
Police have appealed for witnesses.
They would connect the island's planned nuclear power plant to a substation in Gwynedd.
But at Monday's extraordinary meeting full council called for electricity to be carried in underground cables.
The National Grid consultation ends this week, and it said it needs to balance people's views against technical and legal requirements.
The plan is to connect the proposed Wylfa Newydd nuclear power station to the Pentir substation in Gwynedd by pylons.
The new electricity line would run in parallel with an existing line.
Where the line crosses a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty at the Menai Strait, the National Grid is proposing to build a tunnel and run the cables underground.
At the meeting, councillors argued that scrapping the current plan was the only way to protect tourism - worth £280m to the economy - and avoid "severe social and environmental impacts" on communities.
Council leader Ieuan Williams said the plans for more pylons "threatens to break the economic backbone of Anglesey - tourism.
"As a council, we're standing with the people of Anglesey in their total rejection of pylons as a means of carrying a new overhead power line.
"National Grid should put people before pylons."
In his response to the consultation, council chief executive Dr Gwynne Jones said "full undergrounding" is the only option considered acceptable by the council.
"A second line," he claims, "will give rise to major impacts on the landscape of the island which are of serious concern.
Local AM Rhun ap Iorwerth and the island's MP, Albert Owen, have also campaigned against the plans.
Aled Rowlands, external affairs manager at the National Grid, told BBC Wales they had received a lot of feedback from local people during a 10-week consultation.
"Over the next few months we'll be looking at our plans as they are and seeing if that feedback can help improve them," he said.
"What local people, the local authority and local politicians tell us is really important and we will take those things on board as we develop our plans.
"It's our role to balance those things against technical and legal requirements, to ensure that the connection is correct and value for money."
The Planning Inspectorate will make the final decision.
What happens next?
The National Grid's consultation closes on Friday.
It will submit a planning application or Development Consent Order to the Planning Inspectorate in the autumn of 2017.
The Planning Inspectorate will then advise the UK government whether or not to grant permission for the line to go ahead.
It all depends on whether Wylfa Newydd nuclear power plant gets the go ahead.
Its developers, Horizon Nuclear Power, also hope to submit their own Development Consent Order in 2017.
The 27-year-old, Villa's top scorer this season, was hurt in Saturday's 1-0 Championship defeat by Blackburn.
A club statement said the injury is likely to require surgery, which could then rule Kodjia out of pre-season and the start of the 2017-18 campaign.
Kodjia, who has scored 19 goals for Villa this season, will visit a specialist for further tests.
The former Bristol City striker was taken off on a stretcher in the club's penultimate league match of the season.
"He looked in a bit of pain," manager Steve Bruce told BBC WM after the match.
Kodjia will miss the start of Ivory Coast's 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign at home to Guinea in June.
He could also be absent from their back-to-back games against Gabon in 2018 World Cup qualifying in late August and early September.
The Elephants are top of Group C, which also includes Morocco and Mali, with four points from two matches so far.
He played twice for Ivory Coast earlier this year at the Africa Cup of Nations.
The strategy aims to ensure England's environment is healthy and that it is a beautiful place to live, work and bring up a family.
It aims to bring back birds to a countryside depleted under EU agricultural policy.
BBC News has obtained the latest version of the document.
Its release has been delayed several times, but a government spokesman told BBC News that it was committed to delivering the strategy “in due course”.
The plan has its genesis in the Conservatives’ 2015 manifesto. It promised the first government to leave the natural environment in a better state than they found it.
The policy to support that pledge was first expected last summer. Just after Christmas a source told BBC News the document had been agreed by the prime minister and was ready to be published.
Now talk is of perhaps publishing in the summer or the autumn. Some rumours suggest it won’t be published at all.
The host department Defra has faced radical staffing cuts, and is now recruiting extra bodies to deal with the impact of Brexit on farm policy.
Defra is also struggling with a separate but related 25-Year Plan for Farming.
Environmentalists who have seen the draft Nature plan, meanwhile, say it is full of good thinking on the framework for environmental management - but lacking in practical solutions.
The chapter on woodlands, for instance offers the counter-intuitive conclusion that it’s better to plant woods near cities than in the uplands.
But the document then places responsibility for acting on that insight on to landowners rather than ministers.
The report says: “Determining woodland planting locations using only timber values and foregone agricultural production suggests that new woodlands ought to be planted on the least productive agricultural land – mainly in the uplands. This policy gives £66m per year benefit.
“However considering carbon and recreational benefits, the highest values are closer to where people work and live. This gives £546m per year."
The conclusion to this research finding is: “Such analysis provides landowners with better information to inform their decisions."
The Woodland Trust is baffled; their conservation director Austin Brady told BBC News: “This analysis should be providing better information for the government – not for landowners!”
One clue to the absence of forest policy was given by NFU vice-president Guy Smith, who told Radio 4's Today programme that farmers would strongly resist widespread forestation of agricultural land because it would lead to more food imports, which would result in loss of forests abroad.
ClientEarth chief executive James Thornton told BBC News: “To protect nature, we need targets, investment and accountability, not grand promises with zero detail.
“We have been waiting for the 25-year plan for over a year. This version is 46 pages of empty words, and now it seems the final plan might not even be published. This is not good enough.
“The government must uphold strong and effective laws to protect the environment. This is especially important as the UK is leaving the EU, so the laws and funding that we have depended on to protect nature for many years are under threat.”
Green groups are especially frustrated because in many ways the document appears to have accepted many of their ideas for making the most of nature.
It embraces the notion that environmental policies can’t be made in a vacuum, talking of joined-up policy on flood prevention, water abstraction, irrigation, wildlife, and soil conservation.
Importantly, the paper aspires to incorporate evidence on the value of Nature into the Treasury’s advisory “green book”, so the environment into all government decisions.
It also agrees that children should have more contact with the natural world, and supports the £1.5m pocket parks fund to introduce tiny local parks. Yet it doesn’t acknowledge the funding shortfall which is causing many local councils to abandon maintenance in parks.
The plan recognises the crisis in soil, as more and more of it is blown or washed away every year. And it accepts the need to tackle pollution to the air and water from fertilisers – though it isn’t clear how either will be done.
There are many references to the policy opportunities offered by Brexit, which will allow the UK to make its own rules on waste and resources.
And the general tone suggests that ministers will want to simplify environmental rules and prioritise carrots over sticks for businesses that break laws.
But Trevor Hutchings from the green group WWF told BBC News: “It is logical for the 25-Year Plan to come out before the Great Repeal Bill so that it’s clear what needs to be achieved and how, including where new legislation is required.
“There is a danger that Brexit is seizing-up Whitehall - yet the Plan is largely written. So it should be published."
A Defra spokesman said: “We are still committed to publishing the plan and have been engaging on issues with key stakeholders with a view to publishing in due course.”
Defra added: "Our ambition is to be the first generation to leave the environment in a better state than we found it, and we are committed to publishing a long-term plan that builds on our long history of wildlife and environmental protection, and sets out a new approach to managing the environment.
"We're working closely with a range of environmental and conservation groups and businesses to develop proposals."
Its document does mention one asset that’s available to people already – the fledgling website at Exeter University called ORVal, developed to shows people how they can access green space round the country.

The violence broke out in the Guangxi region on Sunday when one wedding procession tried to pass under an archway built for the other family.
Images showed relatives and guests fighting with knives and improvised explosives made out of fireworks.
Police arrived and made several arrests. There were no casualties.
Local reports said the incident began when the processions for the Lin and Qi families met and both sides refused to give way to each other.
Both sides also felt that the fact that they were holding their wedding celebrations at the same time on the same narrow road was "inauspicious".
The violence kicked off when the Qis proceeded down the road where the Lins had already constructed their decorative archway.
Amateur footage taken at the scene and shared online showed a large group of people gathered by the archway shouting angrily, and people shooting what appeared to be fireworks on the street at one another as others in the background flee.
It remains unclear whether either couple actually managed to get married.
Paltrow, 41, and Martin, 37, announced the split on her blog in a post titled Conscious Uncoupling.
"It is with hearts full of sadness that we have decided to separate," the couple wrote.
The pair, who married in December 2003, have two children - Apple, nine, and Moses, seven.
A spokeswoman for the Coldplay frontman confirmed the split, the Associated Press news agency reported.
In the message on the actress' blog on the website Goop.com, the couple said they had "come to the conclusion that while we love each other very much, we will remain separate".
The couple said they had been "working hard for well over a year, some of it together, some of it separated, to see what might have been possible between us".
"We are, however, and always will be a family, and in many ways we are closer than we have ever been," they wrote.
"We are parents first and foremost, to two incredibly wonderful children and we ask for their and our space and privacy to be respected at this difficult time.
"We have always conducted our relationship privately, and we hope that as we consciously uncouple and co-parent, we will be able to continue in the same manner."
Within minutes of the message being posted, the website crashed as readers attempted to visit the site.
The statement was also accompanied by a photograph of the couple, as well as advice on marriage, divorce and spiritualism from two doctors.
In a lengthy essay titled On Conscious Uncoupling, Dr Habib Sadeghi and Dr Sherry Sami wrote about divorce as "a traumatic and difficult decision for all parties involved".
"By choosing to handle your uncoupling in a conscious way, regardless of what's happening with your spouse, you'll see that although it looks like everything is coming apart; it's actually all coming back together," they concluded.
The announcement comes after Paltrow and Martin moved to Los Angeles last year, having previously lived in London.
In November, Paltrow spoke about plans to "uproot" her family again and return to the UK.
Paltrow, who won an Oscar for best actress in 1998 for Shakespeare in Love, most recently starred in Iron Man 3.
Martin, whose band Coldplay are due to release their sixth studio album this year, is set to appear as a mentor in the current series of The Voice in the US.
The couple married at a secret ceremony in December 2003, days after they announced Paltrow was pregnant with their first child.
They had already been together for a year, after reportedly meeting backstage at a Coldplay concert. | Russia has extended its list of countries subject to a food import ban in retaliation for Western sanctions over the Ukraine crisis.

Ally Louise Smith was born by C-section on Friday weighing just 2lb 5oz after her mother, Heidi Loughlin, was told she had to bring her treatment forward.
Ms Loughlin, 33, told BBC Points West Ally was "doing amazingly well".
"I want to fast-forward now until March when she will be coming home and my chemo will be over," she told the BBC.
Photographs of Ally, who is being treated in the neo natal intensive care unit, were released on Tuesday.
Ms Loughlin, a Metropolitan Police officer, from Portishead, North Somerset, told BBC Points West: "It's almost like lifting a piece of toast, that's how tiny she feels."
"She came out crying, which we really didn't expect because she is so little."
Ms Loughlin found out she had inflammatory breast cancer when she was 13 weeks pregnant.
Doctors gave her the option of terminating the pregnancy to begin aggressive chemotherapy.
But Ms Loughlin, who also has two little boys, decided to have the less aggressive chemotherapy to give the baby the best chance.
After the treatment failed, doctors said the risk to her was so big it was better to bring the birth forward.
Ms Loughlin said: "I would never do anything differently, she is worth every second of it."
She is due to start chemotherapy on 23 December, if she is sufficiently recovered from the Caesarean section.
"I'm looking forward to getting on with it now and to kicking this thing so that I can basically just get on with a normal life really."
"The bit that I'm dreading the most is going home for the first time and leaving her here... I'm dreading that part of it."
Reports said the Islamic State mantra "e4e", standing for "an eye for an eye", was carved into the man's head.
An inquiry will examine how the high-risk attacker, 18, came to be housed with his 40-year-old cellmate.
New South Wales Corrections Minister David Elliot said placing the pair in the same cell was "a stuff-up".
The attack took place at the Mid North Coast Correctional Centre in Kempsey, 4.5 hours north of Sydney.
The injured man was a minimum-security prisoner and the teenager, named by multiple sources as Bourhan Hraichie, was a maximum-security prisoner.
A Corrections Department spokesperson said the 18-year-old had been jailed for stealing, not terrorism-related offences.
Initial reports said the injured man had served in the Australian army in East Timor, but Mr Elliott said he did not believe this was accurate.
"It is important to note that the man's background does not change the seriousness of this incident," Mr Elliott said in a statement to the BBC.
The general manager of the Mid North Coast Correctional Centre has been suspended while an investigation takes place.
Head of the Prison Officer's branch of the Public Services Union Steve McMahon told the media prison officers were distressed by the allegedly unprovoked attack, which took place on Thursday.
"It's quite a horrendous piece of work, not unlike torture," Mr McMahon reportedly said.
He said the pair should never have been placed in the same cell and described the incident as a "complete failure by the people in positions of responsibility".
The 40-year-old man was admitted to Port Macquarie Base Hospital in a critical condition, but was now stable, a hospital spokesperson told the BBC.
Police have charged Hraichie with causing grievous bodily harm with intent and intentionally choking a person.
He has been ordered to face court on May 23.

Hibs had taken the lead just before the half hour with a controversial penalty duly put away by Jason Cummings.
Tommy Wright's team responded four minutes later when Joe Shaughnessy headed an equaliser.
McGinn's low drive from distance settled the game and set up a meeting with either Celtic or Ross County.
It was a lead the Edinburgh side deserved and maintained thanks to a fine late save by Mark Oxley from another Shaughnessy header.
This was a semi-final played out in biting cold, rain and occasional snow. For all that, it was an absorbing clash of Championship versus Premiership, of a Hibs side on a great run and a St Johnstone side who came into this on a poor run of no wins from their previous six games.
Hibs were without the injured Anthony Stokes - a minor back strain kept him out - but they went in front when Liam Henderson cut across Chris Millar, drawing a tentative challenge. There was contact, but how much contact was debatable.
Saints thought it was a minimal and protested vehemently when referee Steven McLean awarded the penalty. Cummings calmly rolled it in and Hibs were on their way.
Their glee was brief, their advantage wiped out in quick order. When David Wotherspoon swung in a cross from the right, Shaughnessy angled a superb header into the top corner.
You could not say Hibs took control from there, but most of the clever football came from the Championship side and most of the big performers wore green instead of blue.
Across the midfield, the Edinburgh side were sharp and slick.
McGinn was excellent in an attacking sense and Dylan McGeouch was a rock behind them. Henderson played powerfully and Fraser Fyvie was decent also.
Saints have character, though. At the beginning of the second half they rattled Hibs' crossbar from a Simon Lappin free-kick and never looked beaten even when McGinn rifled home to give Alan Stubbs' team the lead again.
It was deserved, you have to say. Cummings and Chris Dagnall had gone close, as had Henderson. McGinn's goal was coming and well-earned.
Hibs made more chances - Dagnall again, then McGinn's delicious turn and run caused more trouble for the Saints defence.
The Perth side finished strongly, not decisively. Shaughnessy's header was tipped away by Oxley, then an ineffective Michael O'Halloran drove over from a decent position.
Stubbs has worked wonders with this Hibs side since the dog days of relegation in 2014. Their world has turned since then.
He went on to say: "By being part of that free trade zone we would have full access to the European market but we would be free from EU regulation."
This may be Michael Gove's hope, but it will be very difficult, if not impossible, to deliver in reality.
Assume "the European market" means the countries of the European continent. As Mr Gove says, excluding Russia and Belarus they are all part of a "free trade area" of sorts.
However, that is not one homogenous block but a mixture of agreements with varying conditions.
At its heart is the 'single market' of 28 member states of the EU.
Then there is the European Economic Area, a deal between Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein and the European Union.
Switzerland has its own bi-lateral agreement with the EU because its people rejected membership of the EEA in a referendum.
Turkey is part of a customs union. Other European states included in Mr Gove's definition, like Ukraine, also have bi-lateral deals with the EU.
All have required concessions from their members in order to do a deal.
The EEA deal with the EU came in on January 1st 1994 and effectively expands the single market to Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein - we could call this "full access".
But in return they accepted EU regulations and its so-called four freedoms - the free movement of goods, services, people and capital.
Switzerland's agreement also requires the free movement of people but has less access for the services industry, a vital part of the UK's economy.
To achieve his goal of "full access" but no "EU regulation" from Iceland to the Russian border Mr Gove would have to come to a deal with the EU, the EEA and a number of European countries outside the EU, notably Switzerland.
Stephen Booth, co-director of think tank Open Europe, said: "The term free trade is a misnomer. What we're really talking about is preferential trade. It's about: 'You can have access to our market in return for access to yours'
"If you want preferential access the only way to do that is through a negotiation and a negotiation is a two-way street. You're not going to get something for nothing."
We can assume a deal for "full access" to the EU market will be impossible without concessions on either EU regulation or the free movement of people, or both.
The German and French governments have made it clear being in the single market means free movement of people, for example.
We could have freedom from EU regulation under World Trade Organisation rules but we can expect EU tariffs on our goods - not free access.
It is perfectly reasonable to assume the EU and other European countries would want to do trade deals with the UK but there is no reason to believe the UK can expect special treatment.
Reality Check verdict: Full access with no regulation may be Mr Gove's hope but it looks impossible to deliver in practice.

Squid and fish that thrive in warmer waters, such as sardines and anchovies, are flourishing around the North Sea, according to fisheries data.
Squid are now being caught at 60% of survey stations in the North Sea, compared with 20% in the 1980s.
But the likes of cod are heading north, away from British waters.
Dr John Pinnegar, of the Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science (Cefas), which has been monitoring North Sea fish populations for more than 100 years, said models for 2025 and beyond suggested that seawater temperatures off the UK may continue to rise.
Fishing boats are now catching species that have not been caught in the area before.
"Twenty or 30 years ago we hardly saw squid in our surveys," he told BBC News.
Dr Pinnegar, programme director for marine climate change at Cefas, said summer squid fisheries had expanded around the Moray Firth in north-east Scotland, as part of efforts to reduce over-fishing of more traditional species such as haddock and cod.
"A lot of the things we see increasing in abundance around the UK are marine animals that would probably originally [be] thought of as being Mediterranean or characteristic of the Bay of Biscay, or around Portugal or Spain," he added.
"They're now increasing in UK waters because the waters are getting more conducive for those sorts of species, whereas other species are shifting the centre of their distribution towards the north of the UK."
Long-term data shows the centre of distribution of cod has moved north towards Norway, whereas plaice is moving across the North Sea from the Netherlands towards Scotland.
Currently, squid catches off the UK tend to be exported to other countries, but Dr Pinnegar, who is presenting data on trends in stocks at the British Ecological Society's annual meeting in Liverpool on Monday, believes that may change.
"Maybe consumers might like to choose species that are distributed in our own waters rather than importing some of this," he said.
"There are quite a lot of species that seem to be increasing - things like red mullet, anchovies, sardines, John Dory, squid - all of these are quite nice to eat but they are the kind of thing you would have normally have eaten on your holiday to Spain or Portugal."
A study earlier this year found that squid appeared to be benefiting from climate change, at the expense of finned fish, and they have been identified as a valuable alternative fishing target, particularly in the North Sea.
Worldwide catches of squid, octopus and cuttlefish (cephalopods) have increased considerably over the last two decades.
Efforts are under way to understand more about the sustainability of populations before they become the target of large-scale fisheries.
Figures show that the annual mean sea surface temperature in the North Sea has risen from about 10 degrees Celsius in the early 1980s to a record 11.7 degree Celsius in 2014.

From dodgy refereeing decisions to too many games in a week, every reason under the sun has been given for why their team lost.
But have you ever heard the one about too much algae on the pitch?
That was the excuse Plymouth boss Derek Adams gave after a late slip by defender Peter Hartley gifted Cambridge United a 2-1 victory at Home Park on Saturday.
"It has an algae on the pitch, it has to be treated and hopefully that will be sorted in the week," said Adams. "That is the reason (for Hartley's slip)."
The problem stems from the wet and unusually warm weather in Plymouth over the past couple of months, according to Argyle chief executive Martyn Starnes.
The club have had soil samples taken and are bringing in experts later this week.
"We've got to get some equipment on there to try to break the algae up and put some winter seed in to try to take over the growth of the grass," Starnes told BBC Sport.
"It really is astonishing how scientific these pitches are nowadays.
"It'll be ready for the next game - whether we'll see a tangible improvement by then is doubtful as it takes some time, but the pitch will be playable by the time Yeovil come on Boxing Day.
"Over the next few weeks we expect a demonstrable improvement in the pitch."
Algae is definitely a strange one, but what other bizarre excuses have been rolled out following below-par performances?
Sir Alex Ferguson was certainly up there with the greatest when it came to making excuses, but one of his best surely had to be in April 1996 when Manchester United were 3-0 down to Southampton at half-time.
Fergie complained his players could not see each other while sporting their grey away kit and made them change the strip at half-time. They still lost the game 3-1 - and were then thumped 6-3 at the Dell a few months later despite wearing different colours.
The grey kit was so unpopular the players wore it just twice.
In 1998, Newcastle United manager Kenny Dalglish saw his Premier League side struggle to a 1-1 draw against then Conference club Stevenage in the FA Cup fourth round.
Despite the Magpies boasting a wealth of international talent including Alan Shearer, Stuart Pearce and John Barnes, Dalglish did not think his players were simply having an off day.
Instead, he blamed it on the balls being too bouncy.
Newcastle went on to win the replay 2-1 at St James' Park thanks to two Shearer goals.
After a 4-0 defeat by Spain at the 2006 World Cup, Ukraine defender Vladyslav Vashchuk said it was down to the players being tired.
Not because of their busy schedule - but because frogs croaking outside their hotel in the east German town of Potsdam had kept them awake all night.
"Because of the frogs' croaking we hardly got a wink of sleep," Vashchuk said at the time.
"We all agreed that we would take some sticks and go and hunt them."
The team must have had a better night's sleep before their next group game - they beat Saudi Arabia 4-0, before losing to eventual champions Italy in the quarter-finals.
Despite holding the joint record for Premier League clean sheets, things were not always rosy for Liverpool goalkeeper David James in the 1990s.
The former England stopper made three glaring errors in Liverpool's classic 4-3 victory over Newcastle in 1997 and blamed it on playing too many computer games.
"I was getting carried away playing Tekken II and Tomb Raider for hours on end," James said.
The Treasury has confirmed that "excessive" exit fees charged by some pension providers will be banned.
The precise level of the cap will be set by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), after a public consultation.
The chancellor, George Osborne, told the House of Commons that as many as 700,000 people faced such penalties.
"The government isn't prepared to stand by and see people either being ripped off or blocked from accessing their own money by excessive charges," he told MPs.
The news comes as speculation grows over other major changes that may be made to pension taxation in this year's Budget. These are likely to affect the amount of tax relief granted to savers.
Pensions minister, Baroness Altmann, has previously said that up to 40% of a pension's value can be lost in fees.
She said that such policies would never have been sold, had customers understood the hefty exit penalties.
Since April 2015 anyone over the age of 55 has been free to withdraw as much money as they like from their pension pot, subject to income tax.
The news was welcomed by pensions experts.
"In some cases these penalties can run to hundreds or even thousands of pounds," said Tom McPhail of Hargreaves Lansdowne.
"This kind of financial bondage has no place in the 21st century."
Most of the policies with large exit fees date from the 1970s and 80s. The industry has said that no policies are currently being sold with such charges.
"More than eight out of ten customers do not have to pay early exit charges to access their pensions," said Dr Yvonne Braun, of the Association of British Insurers (ABI).
"Where they do, most fees are below 5% and were put in place decades before the freedom and choice reforms were introduced."
The Treasury said that 66,000 people over the age of 55 face currently face charges worth more than 10% of their pension pots.
Such investors are being advised to consider holding back on withdrawals until the reforms are in place.
However, the new rules are likely to take many months to pass in to law.

1824 - French physicist Joseph Fourier describes the Earth's natural "greenhouse effect". He writes: "The temperature [of the Earth] can be augmented by the interposition of the atmosphere, because heat in the state of light finds less resistance in penetrating the air, than in re-passing into the air when converted into non-luminous heat."
1861 - Irish physicist John Tyndall shows that water vapour and certain other gases create the greenhouse effect. "This aqueous vapour is a blanket more necessary to the vegetable life of England than clothing is to man," he concludes. More than a century later, he is honoured by having a prominent UK climate research organisation - the Tyndall Centre - named after him.

1992 - At the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, governments agree the United Framework Convention on Climate Change. Its key objective is "stabilization of greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system". Developed countries agree to return their emissions to 1990 levels.
1995 - IPCC Second Assessment Report concludes that the balance of evidence suggests "a discernible human influence" on the Earth's climate. This has been called the first definitive statement that humans are responsible for climate change.

On Friday morning, the Pollutants Standards Index (PSI) hit 341 - the highest level this year.
Singapore Foreign Minister K Shanmugam said late on Thursday that Indonesia was showing "complete disregard for our people, and their own".
The haze is caused by forests fires in Indonesia used to clear land for palm oil and rubber plantations.
The annual problem has been causing hazardous pollution levels across the region for weeks. Any PSI reading over 300 is considered hazardous to health.
What is behind the South East Asia haze?
Indonesia has repeatedly said it is taking steps to prevent illegal forest burning. It has deployed troops to tackle the blazes, in Sumatra and on Indonesian Borneo, and says it is investigating 27 companies suspected of involvement in fires.
But Mr Shanmugam said on Facebook: "We are hearing some shocking statements made, at senior levels, from Indonesia," noting that PSI readings had reached nearly 2,000 in parts of Indonesia.
"How is it possible for senior people in government to issue such statements, without any regard for their people, or ours, and without any embarrassment, or sense of responsibility?"
He did not name any officials, but Indonesian Vice-President Jusuf Kalla has angered some in recent weeks by saying Indonesia's neighbours should be grateful for the air quality for the other 11 months of the year.
Singapore and Indonesia use the Pollutants Standards Index (PSI) to measure air quality, while Malaysia uses the similar Air Pollutants Index (API). On both indices, a reading that is above 100 is classified as unhealthy and anything above 300 is hazardous.
Emergency measures enacted in Singapore include the closing of all primary and secondary schools for the first time this haze season.
Free masks are also being distributed at community centres for the elderly and vulnerable.
Fast-food chains including McDonalds, KFC and Pizza Hut suspended their food delivery services on Thursday citing concerns for the health of their drivers.
Later on Friday the PSI dipped back below 300 and delivery services have since resumed.
Figures from the London Health Board showed that 238 people left the London Ambulance Service (LAS) in 2013-14, compared to 80 from 2011-2012.
Thirty paramedics left in May 2014 alone, the board said.
LAS said there are currently 250 paramedic vacancies and it is continuing to recruit staff.
The report, entitled Making the Case for London, stated that if current trends continued there could be 600 frontline vacancies across the LAS by the end of 2014.
"The most acute group is that of paramedics, in May we lost 30 and if that trend continues, even accounting for those paramedics graduating in September and joining us (which is by no means certain) this will still leave us with a shortfall," the report said.
The paper added that even with 100 graduates joining the service in September, the service could potentially lose 180 by then.
The report said that affordable housing and transport costs were some of the issues which could affect whether staff choose to stay in the role.

The LAS are calling on more to be done to tackle the cost of living for healthcare staff in cities.
LAS director of operations Jason Killens said: "The real issue for us here is the high cost of living and working in London. Not only for us but all public sector workers.
"The evidence we have submitted to the London Health Board and indeed to the national pay review body is asking them to seriously consider what more can be done to support all public sector workers with the true cost of living in our capital cities."
About 3,300 operation staff work for the LAS, including 1,784 paramedics.
Earlier this year, the LAS said it had been granted permission to recruit overseas, with the UK Border Agency approving their application to sponsor work visas for non-European paramedics.
For decades, the Sellafield plant in Cumbria could lay claim to being one of the most controversial industrial complexes in Britain.
Now, however, it is playing a new role - as a giant test bed for specialised technology and techniques used in nuclear decommissioning.
Flying drones, remote controlled submarines and industrial robots have all been brought in to carry out tasks which are simply too dangerous, or even impossible, for humans to do.
The first reactors at Sellafield, at that time known as Windscale, were rushed into service in the early 1950s. Their role was to produce plutonium for the country's atomic weapons programme.
But cold war power came at a price. Infamously, one of the reactors caught fire in 1957, contaminating the surrounding farmland. A major disaster was only narrowly avoided.
Despite that setback, the site at Sellafield continued to grow. The world's first commercial nuclear power station - Calder Hall - was built there, for example. It also became a hub for the nuclear reprocessing industry.
Now, though, the plant is winding down. Apart from waste storage, all of its major activities are due to cease over the next few years.
Cleaning up the mess left behind is a major challenge.
"I'd love to be able to say to you that we've got very good records of all the material that we have in these facilities," says Kevin Gunston of Sellafield Ltd, the company responsible for the decommissioning process.
"But that just isn't the case. So one of the challenges we have is to understand exactly what material we have and where it is, so we know what we can do with it in the future".
That's where the submarines come in.
Much of the waste that accumulated at Sellafield over the decades was stored underwater, in giant open air tanks, known as ponds. It included used fuel waiting to be reprocessed, contaminated materials and other discarded machinery.
But corrosion and spillages meant the water became murky, and the bottom of the ponds became covered with a thick layer of highly radioactive sludge and debris.
To find out what is down there and start to get rid of it, Sellafield Ltd has been using a fleet of mini-submarines, or Remotely Operated Underwater Vehicles (ROVs).
The smallest models can almost be held in the palm of your hand. They are camera drones, designed for advanced reconnaissance.
"These are used for going into very congested areas, very high hazard areas," says Philip Toomey, ROV innovation manager at Sellafield.
"Some of these areas, we haven't been into for over 40 years".
Larger ROVs, about the size of a washing machine, are used for tasks such as removing old fuel rods from underwater skips, or sucking up sludge from the pond floor.
All of these machines have to be able to cope with very harsh conditions.
"The water itself is very acidic, and of course there's lots of radiation and contamination," says Mr Toomey.
One of the companies developing the subs on behalf of Sellafield is James Fisher Nuclear. Much of the technology it uses is adapted from systems already employed in the offshore oil and gas industries.
"It's more cost-effective if we can use off-the-shelf designs where possible," says Simon Pyne, the company's business development manager.
"It's also much quicker than developing something from scratch."
He adds that it's surprising just how resilient bought-in designs can be to the high levels of radiation in the water.
But clean-up challenges at Sellafield are not confined to the storage ponds. Some of the other buildings on the site also represent unique challenges.
The skyline above the plant, for example, is dominated by a single tall chimney. It is one of two constructed to ventilate the original Sellafield reactors - the infamous Windscale Piles.
Its twin was demolished more than a decade ago, but this one remains standing. It was heavily contaminated during the 1957 fire, when a plume of radioactive smoke poured up it from the burning reactor core.
Now, demolition works have begun, but the contractors have to be careful, because parts of the building are still radioactive. So to find out more, they're using a drone.
The Riser (Remote Intelligence Survey Equipment for Radiation) is a quadcopter equipped with systems that allow it to navigate inside a building, without GPS. It also has radiation sensors, which enable it to build up a 3D map of the inside of the chimney, with contamination picked out in bright colours.
The drone, a collaboration between Cumbrian firm Createc and Bedfordshire-based Blue Bear Systems Research, has already been tried out successfully inside the chimney and will be used in other parts of the plant as well.
The radiation-mapping technology, meanwhile, has already been employed overseas - inside the heavily-contaminated Fukushima Daiichi plant in Japan.
Not all the robots being put through their paces in and around Sellafield are so obviously cutting-edge, however.
On a test rig at the nearby National Nuclear Laboratory facility, three giant orange robot arms are being put through their paces. They are tearing apart rusty drums, bits of masonry and bars of unidentified metal, before packing the remains into shiny new containers.
If the robots work as intended, they'll eventually be taken to Sellafield where they'll process nuclear waste recovered from ponds and silos across the plant, preparing it for long-term storage.
Made by German specialist Kuka, they were originally developed for use in the car industry, and have been modified for their new task.
Well-proven technology is absolutely vital as servicing and repair becomes very difficult once these machines have been handling contaminated material.
For the moment, all of these technologies are being developed and refined primarily to help in the clean-up at Sellafield - a process that is expected to take up to 100 years to complete.
But nuclear decommissioning is a headache shared by many western nations, so the expertise being gathered here could find lucrative new markets abroad as well.
The changes are part of a peace deal aimed at ending fighting between Ukrainian forces and pro-Russia rebels.
But many MPs oppose autonomy for the east and the decision must be voted through parliament.
Meanwhile, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has released $1.7bn (£1.08bn) in aid to Ukraine.
The payment is part of a bailout aimed at stabilising Ukraine's struggling economy. The country is also trying to reach a deal with its main creditors on restructuring its debts.
On the ground, sporadic clashes continue in the east. The West says there is clear evidence of Russian regular troops helping the rebels and arming them with heavy weapons - something Moscow denies.
The constitutional changes are part of a general plan to devolve powers from the Ukrainian central government to the regions, the BBC's David Stern reports from the capital Kiev.
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko called Friday's constitutional court ruling "an important step that moves us closer to momentous changes for the state".
In a Facebook post he said that "for the first time in Ukraine's history, its head of state and government are ceding a large degree of their powers to the regions".
"This will make our country powerful and whole," he added.
Ukraine still insists, however, that elections in Donetsk and Luhansk must comply with the electoral rules set in Kiev - rather than terms set by the separatists.
In May, the US giant ran a campaign in the Philippines called "care to vote", which rewarded customers with a free drink if they turned out to vote in the country's general election.
Having visited a polling station, all customers had to do was show an ink-stained voting finger to a barista in order to get their complimentary coffee or other beverage.
"Our intent was simple," says Keith Cole, head of marketing for Starbucks Philippines.
"By helping to increase voter participation we believe more people will have an opportunity to make their votes count."
From campaigning on voting rights, to sustainability, healthy eating, and gender equality, businesses are increasingly speaking out about societal issues, in the hope of influencing - and improving - our behaviour.
The aim, they say, is to use their power and influence for good, and not just for profit.
But with corporate scandals never far from the news, can we seriously take their word for it?
The idea that brands might encourage us to be better citizens is not new. UK chocolate manufacturer Cadbury and US carmaker Ford invested heavily in the towns where their employees lived in the 19th and 20th Centuries, and in return expected workers to uphold certain values - both in and outside work.
But today such efforts tend to be more consumer-facing, the aim being to promote social good while encouraging brand loyalty.
Take the Dove Campaign for Real Beauty, which has been calling for a wider definition of female beauty since 2004.
Run by Anglo-Dutch consumer goods giant Unilever, the owner of toiletries brand Dove, it aims to celebrate women of all shapes and sizes.
Unilever says the scheme has "pioneered the use of attainable images of beauty" in advertising, using women "with real curves".
At the same time, Unilever saw annual sales of Dove products reportedly increase from $2.5bn (£1.9bn) to $4bn in 2014.
Another example is Dutch brewer Heineken, which has promoted moderate drinking in its advertising since 2011.
Heineken PR manager Milly Hutchinson says that the firm believes it has "a role to play in society", and the "perfect platform to spread the message of moderate consumption".
However, she adds that the firm is also reflecting a "discernible shift in consumer behaviour", as its own research shows that a majority of young adults now limit the amount of alcohol they drink.
A Heineken survey published in January found that 75% of drinkers aged between 21 and 35 limited the amount of alcohol they drank on the majority of their nights out. The study was conducted across five countries - the US, the UK, the Netherlands, Mexico and Brazil.
Charlotte West, from UK charity Business in the Community - which encourages businesses to make a positive difference to society or their local community - says it is true that a growing number of firms are making their campaigning voices heard.
She says that the trend has been partly driven by the rise of social media, which has empowered consumers to hold brands to account in an unprecedented way. And so firms are having to respond.
"More and more, customers want businesses to stand for social impact, and in our changing world they have to play a bigger role in solving societal problems," she adds.
However, Laura Spence, professor of business ethics at Royal Holloway, University of London, cautions that "there is bound to be some enlightened self interest in these campaigns".
She adds: "Companies can see that being associated with a certain practice reflects well on the them, and might bring in additional customers.
"But they can risk seeming preachy too, which doesn't always play well."
But what of the growing trend for businesses to get involved in campaigns with less obvious corporate benefits?
Examples include Apple chief Tim Cook's campaigning on gay rights in the US, or Facebook's chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg, who advocates gender equality.
Ice cream maker Ben & Jerry's (which is also owned by Unilever) even launched a new flavour in May called Empower Mint (peppermint ice cream with fudge brownies and fudge swirls) as part of its "democracy is in your hands" campaign for increased voting rights in the US.
Among other things, Vermont-based Ben & Jerry's wants to see an end to voters having to produce ID cards when they go to vote in numerous US states, saying this disadvantages people from the black community, as they are less likely to have the required identification.
But businesses can incur our wrath when they speak out, too, as happened to Starbucks with its #RaceTogether campaign last year.
Hoping to encourage racial tolerance, the company encouraged its baristas to start conversations about race with customers, and to write #RaceTogether on takeaway cups.
It followed national protests in the US over police killings of several black men.
But there was a huge backlash on social media, with many calling the campaign disingenuous, and others saying they did not want to talk about race while being served coffee.
The campaign was quickly dropped, but Starbucks says it has learned from the experience, and stands by its desire to get involved.
"Any time you take on a controversial topic there is risk involved, but we knew race relations was an important topic," says a spokesperson.
"We felt that we could use our scale and footprint to help create a safe space for these conversations to take place across the country."
Vicki Loomes, an analyst at consultancy Trendwatching, says: "If companies are going to campaign on an issue, it needs to be something they are invested in long-term and aligned with what they do."
She adds: "It cannot be a three-month marketing campaign, talking about something like immigration, simply because it is the most newsworthy topic going around."
Ms West of Business in the Community agrees. "People can see through rubbish, so it has to be authentic and honest and relevant to your brand."
Clearly companies must strike a delicate balance when weighing in on social issues, but it seems that we would rather they tried than did nothing at all.
"Businesses have realised they can't just grow and take away from people," says Ms West.
"They have to grow while giving back, which I think is a really responsible capitalist approach."

The Scottish under-19 international arrived at the Liberty Stadium in the summer from Bradford City for an undisclosed fee.
McBurnie, 19, came through the youth ranks at Manchester United and has League One experience with Bradford.
He scored five goals in 14 games on loan at National League side Chester last season.
McBurnie will go straight into Newport's squad for Saturday's League Two match at home against Luton Town.
William Bass, who is believed to have been born in Hinckley, Leicestershire, in 1717, founded the Bass Brewery in Burton-upon-Trent, aged 60.
The company became famous across the world for its beer and its red triangle symbol was the UK's first trademark.
Richard Lewin, who helped organise the honour, said the firm still has "global significance" thanks to its founder.
Mr Lewin, from the Campaign for Real Ale (Camra) in Hinckley, said William Bass was "probably the greatest brewer" the country has had.
He said the businessman started as a carrier of beer from the Midlands to London, before moving into brewing to give his sons a better future.
The company became one of the country's biggest brewers and its "excellent beers" were exported throughout the world, said Mr Lewin.
The brewery's famous red triangle was even featured in Edouard Manet's A Bar at the Folies-Bergère, in 1882, and in some of Picasso's work.
Mr Lewin said although no record of Bass' birthplace in Hinckley can be found, his early life in the town is beyond dispute, before he moved to Burton-upon-Trent in 1756.
Vanessa Winstone, collections officer a the National Brewery Centre, said: "It is true to say that although William Bass' time in brewing was short, his legacy was long.
"His sons and grandsons continued the family tradition and the company ran as a hugely successful enterprise until 1999."
The blue plaque was unveiled at a property in Castle Street that existed at the time William Bass and his family lived in Hinckley.
However, the exact location of the home is unknown.
Two other brewers William Worthington and William Butler, with links to Hinckley, will be honoured later in the year.
The protesters are angered by a $700m (£455m) payment made to his bank account from unnamed foreign donors.
It was discovered last month during a probe into alleged mismanagement at the debt-laden state fund 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB).
Mr Najib has denied any wrongdoing.
The rally began on Saturday and continued into Sunday. The pro-democracy group Bersih has also called for protests in the cities of Kota Kinabalu and Kuching on the Malaysian side of Borneo.
Protesters in yellow T-shirts sang the national anthem Negaraku to end the rally at the stroke of midnight, when the country started celebrating National Day - 58 years since independence.
Kuala Lumpur authorities rejected an application from Bersih for a permit and Malaysian police declared the rallies illegal. Access to Kuala Lumpur's Independence Square was blocked.
At the last big rally in 2012, police used water cannon and tear gas to disperse protesters.
Why Malaysians are disillusioned with Najib Razak
Estimates put the number of protesters in Kuala Lumpur at 50,000 to 80,000, though figures issued by the police suggested much lower numbers.
A carnival atmosphere, punctuated by music, vuvuzelas and political speeches, prevailed in the city centre.
The leader of Bersih, Maria Chin, said the protest was not anti-government.
"We don't want to topple the government but we want to topple corrupt politicians," she told the Malaysian Insider.
The demonstrations coincide with preparations for National Day on Monday - the former British colony's 58th anniversary of independence.
Mr Najib said on his blog he did not want a "provocation" to be triggered.
He said: "Whatever the disagreements or misunderstandings between us, National Day should not be a stage of political disputes."
The main accusation against Mr Najib is that he took $700m from the indebted 1MDB, which he established in 2009 to try to turn Kuala Lumpur into a financial hub.
Cabinet ministers have said the money transfers were "political donations" from unidentified Middle Eastern sources, and that there was nothing improper. No further details have been given.
1MDB has said it has never given money to the prime minister and called the accusations "unsubstantiated".
The prime minister retains significant support from the long-ruling Barisan Nasional coalition and from within his party, the United Malays National Organisation.
• The 1Malaysia Development Berhad state investment fund was established under Prime Minister Najib Razak in 2009 to transform Malaysia into a high-income economy.
• Critics say the fund overpaid for many of its investments and spent millions on fees to investment bank Goldman Sachs
• It began attracting attention at the end of 2014 when it started missing payments to creditors. It later emerged that the fund was mired in $11bn (£7bn) of debt.
• Mr Najib has been accused of taking $700m from the fund - a charge which he has denied.
• Malaysia anti-corruption commission said it had verified that the money was a donation from unnamed foreign donors.

The world number nine pulled out of the tournament shortly before her second-round match against Wang Qiang.
Konta currently occupies the final qualifying position for the season-ending WTA Finals in Singapore.
But the 25-year-old, the first British woman in the top 10 since 1984, could be overtaken by Dominika Cibulkova if the Slovak makes the Linz Open final.
"I was really looking forward to making this week last as long as possible. It wasn't as long as I would have liked, but I need to look after my body first," said the Briton.
"I need to make sure I make the right decisions for my health."
The prime minister said: "I want everyone around this table to remember who we're for. Every decision we take, every policy we pursue, every programme we initiate, never forget: we're here to give everyone in our country the chance to make the most of their life.
"The pundits might call it 'blue-collar Conservatism', others being on the side of hardworking taxpayers. I call it being the real party for working people: giving everyone in our country the chance to get on, with the dignity of a job, the pride of a pay cheque, a home of their own and the security and peace of mind that comes from being able to support a family.
"And just as important - for those that can't work, the support they need at every stage of their lives."
The task for the chancellor will be to square his boss's rhetoric with the substantial spending cuts that he intends to announce. The Conservatives were elected on a promise of cutting a further £12bn from the welfare budget.
In the Budget we will find out where the axe will fall. Tax credits and housing benefit are expected to take most of the pain.
Now when faced with cuts of this size, Conservatives frequently accuse journalists like me of exaggerating the potential impact.
They say the media are as bad as government departments in talking up the consequences of spending reductions that ultimately get absorbed with less hullaballoo than predicted. But the cuts that Mr Osborne announces will be significant and tough. They cannot be otherwise.
And he has every reason to give us most of the detail now. This is the first Budget in a five-year Parliament. Mr Osborne will want to get as much pain out of the way as soon as he can. He will want to use the mandate and momentum of a newly-elected government to carry out its manifesto commitments.
He will want to make the most of a rudderless Labour Party. He will want to crack on with the cuts now so that, if everything goes to plan, he has a surplus to spend ahead of the next election in 2020. When, perhaps, he may be leading the Conservative Party.
But £12bn is still £12bn and the cuts will be felt by low-paid people who you might call, say, "hardworking taxpayers" who the government wants to support "at every stage of their lives".
And remember - the Conservatives want these people's votes to be as blue as their collars. As Mr Osborne told Andrew Marr at the weekend: "We've got to make sure this is a fair Budget, that we're all in this together."
So how may Mr Osborne try to square the circle?
First, he will make the moral case for cutting tax credits, arguing that they subsidise employers who pay too little and provide disincentives to work more hours. He will urge more firms to pay the living wage and - some hope - perhaps even provide them with incentives to do so.
He will almost certainly cut taxes for the less well off by once again raising the threshold at which income tax is paid. He will highlight his manifesto commitment to raise the minimum wage in line with that threshold.
Second, Mr Osborne will almost certainly hit the rich. He is promising a £5bn crackdown on tax avoidance and tax planning, something that affects only rich people and companies. He has hinted that he might change the rules and fees paid by wealthy non-doms.
He has already promised to increase taxes on the pension contributions of higher earners to pay for an inheritance tax cut. He could always tax those pension contributions even further. If he was feeling even more radical, the chancellor could commission work on creating a new council tax band for expensive homes, a kind of watered-down Tory mansion tax.
All he needs is enough to generate a counter-narrative that the rich are taking some of the pain.
Third, he will argue the spending cuts are needed to keep the recovery secure, to keep cutting the deficit so that Britain is further protected from economic shocks such as Grexit. Expect to hear quite a lot about Greece.
So this is George Osborne's big moment, his first Budget free from Liberal Democrat constraints, the first in a Parliament that he wishes to end as leader of the Conservative Party.
He needs to get enough pain out of the way early to ensure the impact is not felt at the next election. But he needs to do so without inflicting lasting damage on his party. That is some circle to square.
The woman, 59, was taken to hospital with serious injuries and remains in a critical condition.
Officers were called to the incident at Blaydon Avenue, Sutton Coldfield, at 19:30 GMT on Monday.
The 31-year-old man is known to the woman and remains in custody, police said.

Three Victorian seawater pools were badly damaged by large granite boulders thrown up to 40ft (12m) by the waves.
The ladies' pool has already reopened and the children's pool is due to open next month.
Culture and leisure minister Mike O'Hara said the work, involving stonemasonry and barrier replacement, cost about £15,000.
He said there was currently no repair plan for the gents' pool, which suffered more damage.
Deputy O'Hara said: "It's a completely different thing and something we're still looking at... we're waiting on a full survey to be completed."
Alison, who takes her two young children to the pools, said: "It's good that they're sorting it out and we'll be able to use it again shortly. In the mean time we'll just come down the bigger pool.
"It's good to come down after school. It's nice and quick for us and sometimes you just like a nice, quick sand-free alternative to the beach."
Gosia, a regular sunbather at the pools, described them as a good place to meet friends and perfect for families.
Massimiliano Allegri's side had won all 17 home league games this season but that record looked like ending when Adem Ljajic curled home a free-kick.
The visitors had Afriyie Acquah sent off for a second yellow card in the Turin derby.
But Argentine striker Higuain smashed in a low finish on 91 minutes to preserve their unbeaten home record.
The £75m summer signing had started the game on the bench, but gave on-loan Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart little chance with his 32nd goal of the season.
Despite gaining a draw, the result meant Juventus' run of 33 successive home league wins came to an end.
With three games remaining, Juve are eight points clear at the top of the table ahead of second-placed Napoli and 10 points in front of Roma who have a game in hand.

Taiwan's foreign ministry said the crew of 26 were released after ransom talks.
The freed hostages had been unable to leave under their own steam as their boat had run aground, AFP news agency quotes a ministry statement as saying.
The Shiuh Fu No 1 was seized off the coast of Madagascar in December 2010 before being taken to Somalia.
The boat's crew included 13 Chinese and 12 Vietnamese nationals, as well as a Taiwanese captain.
The released hostages were taken to Tanzania by the Chinese navy vessel, Taiwan's foreign ministry said.
"We appreciate the assistance of the European Union, international anti-piracy organisations, China and other relevant countries," the statement said.
The release of the crew was also confirmed by China's foreign ministry.
Chinese ships have undertaken anti-piracy operations off the coast of Somalia since late 2008. In early 2010, Beijing agreed to join a multi-nation effort to protect shipping in the Gulf of Aden and nearby stretches of the Indian Ocean.
Military vessels from Nato countries, the US, China, Russia, Japan and India are now also involved in patrolling an area of ocean which is about the same size as western Europe.
More than two decades of war in Somalia have left the country without a fully-functioning government, making it hard to deal with piracy.
As the pirates have expanded their operations, they are using bigger ships and equipment funded by the large ransoms paid for the release of hostages.
Currently, they are believed to be holding around seven other hijacked vessels, and dozens of crew members.
Forget the 'difficult second album' concept - imagine the pressure to deliver new and exciting goods when you get to album number fourteen.
"After three and a half decades of being together, if you're going to make another new album, it needs to be something very special - otherwise we shouldn't bother," says Duran Duran's Nick Rhodes.
But he admits "reinventing the Duran Duran sound" - made famous on 1980s hits like Rio, The Wild Boys and Girls on Film - can sometimes be "easier said than done".
"It took longer than usual," says Rhodes of the two years they spent perfecting Paper Gods. "Probably the first year was spent down underground in the mine, trying to find some gold."
Founded by Rhodes and bassist John Taylor in Birmingham in 1978, Duran Duran has been through several incarnations and its members haven't always seen eye to eye.
But Rhodes tells the BBC these days he, Taylor, singer Simon Le Bon and drummer Roger Taylor have all learned to work through the rows and appreciate each other.
You're headlining Bestival this weekend and heading off on a UK tour in November - how do Duran Duran cope with living in each others pockets after 37 years?
At this point we are like a family. There is a lot of affection for what we've been through together and we enjoy being together. We laugh a lot together.
I mean, there are times when we could all sort of kill each other. Tempers will fray and people will want to take a song in a different direction - we just have to let go of that once we leave the studio.
You've said you found 'a whole new level of inspiration' working on Paper Gods, but it took some time?
I think people always think we have this grand plan - it just isn't like that. We really sit around with some instruments and try to find a direction and sort of wipe the slate clean every time.
Do you throw a lot of stuff away then?
We throw away I would say two albums worth of material to get the third. We do have very high standards - there's four of us, so there is usually someone who says 'I think that can be better'. We tend to write a few songs and then we finally get one that we all agree is better than the others - so then you've almost got to say 'this is the new standard - everything we have has got to be at least this good.'
You'd worked with producers Mark Ronson (2011's All You Need is Now) and Nile Rodgers (Notorious, 1986) separately before, but not together - how was that?
Mark had known Nile since he was a little boy but he'd never ever worked with him and he said 'I think you should work with Nile again', and 'can I please be on those sessions too?' It was such a simple idea.
Nile is always pure pleasure to have around. The way he plays guitar lifts people's spirits. He'd just come off the back of the Daft Punk record Get Lucky, so sitting in a room with him and Mark Ronson, who played us his forthcoming track with Bruno Mars, Uptown Funk - and we all know what happened to that song - having those two people in the room with the four of us was really a dream team. We did two songs together over about three days, Pressure Off, the first single, and a track called Only in Dreams. It was electric in the room.
When it comes to [Nile's] CV, I can't think of anyone in recent years that has a better one - David Bowie, Madonna, Chic, Sister Sledge, obviously his work with us, Debbie Harry, Grace Jones, Diana Ross. And all of those albums are so special - he brings some amazing energy.
There's quite a roll call on your album too - Janelle Monae, former Red Hot Chilli Peppers guitarist John Frusciante, Hideaway singer Keisza - and on the other end of the scale is Lindsay Lohan, who voices a doctor on the track Danceophobia?
With Keisza we wanted the ultimate diva on that track [Last Night in the City] with the voice that could shatter glass around the universe and an energy. She is a rising star and she is going to be around for a long time.
[Lindsay] was in London doing [the play] Speed the Plough and we'd known her for a little while. She sent [Simon] a note saying, 'hey, I hear you're in the studio - can I come and do something on the album? We had this idea based on Michael Jackson's Thriller, on the wonderful monologue that Vincent Price delivered. She really nailed it.
Lindsay's reputation precedes her but actually she loves doing the things that she does and she is damn good at it. It took us a little while to get her there - I think Simon had to go and fetch her in the car in the end - but she came along with her sister and took over the entire place, it was a lot of fun.
You teamed up with producer Mr Hudson too - who's worked with Kanye West and Jay Z. What do you think he brought to the album?
He was a very key character. Ben came along about a year in and helped us do some editing. He literally said 'well I love that one, this one I think we could work on a bit more and why don't we do something new?'.
He'll play a little bit of guitar, or contribute to lyrics - so he almost became like our fifth member for the project.
I think we're quite a tough room to walk into because we all have known each other for a very long time. Probably being from Birmingham helped a little, but he came for an afternoon and stayed for the best part of the next year.
You were one of the first bands to be played on MTV in the 1980s - what do you think of Kanye being given their lifetime achievement award this year?
That's quite a short lifetime, but I think he deserves it. Kanye is definitely one of the most interesting artists of his generation and we all admire him, and I think see a little bit of ourselves in him - that he wants to change things and try out different things. He's adventurous musically. He's definitely cut from the same sort of marble as we came from.
Taylor Swift presented him with the award - arguably the biggest artist in the world at the moment. Is she somebody you would like to work with?
I haven't met her actually, but I admire her process and I admire the way she has insisted that musicians are compensated properly for their work [by streaming services]. She took a very brave and intelligent stance. The way things have gone online has made it very hard for more esoteric artists to find that audience and build their sound - to actually survive. Every little bit helps and the fact that she's gone out there and stuck her head above the parapet and said 'no, you shouldn't take advantage', I think was really right.
And yes of course, I think she's very talented too and if she wants to give us a call, absolutely!
Paper Gods is released via Warner Bros Records on 11 September.
The victim was attacked in the close, near to the Bank of Scotland on Main Street, at about 20:15 on Tuesday.
He is currently being treated for his injuries in Wishaw General Hospital.
Police have appealed for witnesses and said they were keen to speak to some people who walked past the scene and may have looked in the close.
Det Insp Kevin Jamieson said: "From our inquiries so far we know that there were a number of people walking by the close, one or two of whom looked in, around about the time of the assault.
"I would ask they, or indeed anyone with knowledge about the incident, contact police as their information could prove vital to our investigation."

The headquarters of the governing NDP party has been set ablaze.
President Hosni Mubarak, facing the biggest challenge to his authority of his 31 years in power, has ordered the army onto the streets of Cairo.
Earlier, it was announced he would make a statement, but he is yet to appear.
BBC security correspondent Frank Gardner said: "Every minute that goes by without the president making that address to the nation makes him look weaker and will convince people he is losing his grip."
At least 18 protesters - 13 in Suez and five in Cairo - were killed in the violence on Friday, medical sources said. That brings the death toll to at least 26 since the protests began on Tuesday.
An unconfirmed report from the Reuters news agency said as many as 1,030 people may have been injured on Friday.
Across the country, tens of thousands of protesters turned out after Friday prayers and clashed with police.
By Frank GardnerBBC security correspondent
Up until now, President Mubarak has enjoyed the support of the armed forces.
He was, after all, a career air force officer suddenly catapulted to the presidency when Anwar Sadat was assassinated in 1981.
But if these protests continue and intensify, there are bound to be senior voices within the military tempted to urge him to stand down.
This is the most serious popular challenge to his 30-year rule that anyone can remember.
Egypt's army: The deciding factor
The curfew is now in effect, but live television pictures from Cairo continue to show large crowds on the streets.
Correspondents in Cairo say military helicopters are circling overhead.
Some of those breaking the curfew targeted the state broadcasting building, which is guarded by the armed forces.
Also targeted was the headquarters of the ruling NDP party - a major symbol of President Mubarak's rule regime. The BBC's Wyre Davies reported from Cairo that there was no sign of the police or military as the building was enveloped in flames.
Demonstrators have been cheering for the army, while the latter is not getting into confrontations with the people, correspondents say.
Internet and phone services - both mobile and landline - have been severely disrupted, although protesters are using proxies to work around the restrictions.
Mobile operator Vodafone Egypt said in a statement that it was obliged by law to suspend services at the request of the authorities.
Reports say Egyptian opposition figure Mohamed ElBaradei has been placed under house arrest. Earlier, he was soaked by water cannon and surrounded by police as he joined protesters on the streets of Cairo.
In Sinai, BBC Arabic said its sources reported that Bedouins were besieging a police station and armed men had taken control of the road leading to Rafah, in the Palestinian territory of Gaza.

Mardell's America: Obama's caution on Egypt is winning no friends
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has appealed to Egypt to do "everything" to restrain the security forces, urging the government to reverse its block on mobile phone and internet communications.
She also said the protesters should not use violence.
The US counts Egypt as an ally in the Middle East and has so far been cautious about taking sides. However, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said Washington would review its aid to Egypt based on events in the coming days.
Egypt is the fourth largest recipient of American aid, after Afghanistan, Pakistan and Israel.
Meanwhile, the US is advising its citizens to avoid non-essential travel to Egypt, and several airlines - including Egyptian and BA - have cancelled or rescheduled flights.
The unrest follows an uprising in Tunisia two weeks ago, in which President Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali was toppled after 23 years in power.
Egypt has many of the same social and political problems that brought about the unrest in Tunisia - rising food prices, high unemployment and anger at official corruption.
After Friday prayers, tens of thousands of people joined protests in Cairo and other cities to demand the end of Mr Mubarak's 30-year rule.
They shouted, "Down, down with Mubarak" and, "The people want the regime to fall".
At several locations, riot police responded by firing rubber bullets and tear gas, and by using water cannon. BBC Arabic reporter Assad Sawey, in Cairo, said he was arrested and beaten by plainclothes policemen.
"They took my camera away and when they arrested me, they started beating me with steel bars, the ones used here for slaughtering animals," he said.
The BBC condemned the assault, saying it was a deliberate attack by police against which the BBC would forcefully protest.
"It is vital that all journalists, whether from the BBC or elsewhere, are allowed to do their job of bringing accurate, impartial eye witness reports to audiences around the world without fear," said BBC Global News Director Peter Horrocks.
There were also reports of clashes between protesters and police in Alexandria, Mansoura and Aswan, as well as Minya and Assiut south of Cairo, and al-Arish in the Sinai peninsula. | Egypt has extended its curfew to all cities as anti-government demonstrators in Cairo besiege key buildings, including the foreign ministry and the state broadcaster. | 12,311,007 | 1,162 | 36 | false |
Alastair Bremner said the pictures were taken at the marriage of his sister Kathleen to Pete Maloney.
Romanian Alex Galmeanu discovered the images on undeveloped film inside a camera he bought online.
Mr Galmeanu thought the wedding had taken place in Scotland, but the venue has now been identified as the Burleigh Court Hotel in Gloucestershire.
Mr Bremner said his mother and father, Betty and Alex, were originally from Scotland but moved to Gloucestershire, where the children grew up.
His sister, known as Kathy, now lives in Cheltenham. Pete Maloney emigrated to Australia.
Alastair said the car in one of the pictures is his father's Austin Maxi.
He thinks it was bought near Dollar in Clackmannanshire, where his parents lived before moving south. The car eventually covered 280,000 miles without a change of gearbox.
Mr Bremner identified other people in the pictures including his sister Morag, Pete Maloney's parents, and an aunt and uncle, Grace and Bob Thomas.
One mystery remains. Mr Bremner does not know who took the pictures.
Mr Bremner said the wedding did not turn out to be a happy ever after event.
He said: "My sister lives in Cheltenham at the moment.
"She married Pete but their wedding didn't last that long unfortunately.
"Pete now lives in Australia."
Alastair's brother John said the two images which do not feature the wedding may be of most use in tracking down whoever took the photographs.
He told the BBC: "Obviously this is a friend who attended the wedding.
"I can name everyone there apart from the last two photographs.
"That must be his family. It looks like he's taken a picture of his garden and it looks like he's got some grandchildren there."
The general manager of the Burleigh Court Hotel, Christine Read, had earlier partially solved the mystery when she confirmed the group shot was "definitely" taken on the hotel's back terrace.
The hotel, near Stroud, has changed owners three times since 1979.
Ms Read, who joined the hotel staff in 1980, told BBC Scotland she knew it was her hotel "without a shadow of a doubt".
"As soon as I saw the first picture with the trees I knew. And then the second photo has the lodge at the end of our drive," she said.
Professional fashion photographer Mr Galmeanu, who discovered the images last week, had posted them online in the hope of returning the originals to the couple or a relative.
Writing on his blog, Mr Galmeanu said he found the film inside a Balda Baldix camera he bought from an online seller near Birmingham.
Speaking to the BBC after the Bremner family had come forward, he said he was delighted to be able to find the pictures and make contact with those involved in the wedding.
Mr Galmeanu added: "This is a once in a lifetime opportunity here.
"I'm very happy to do that.
"It's a story I will tell to my grandchild - if that's possible."

Wrexham Glyndwr University is taking part in Global Game Jam (GGJ) for the seventh year from Friday to Sunday.
The event uses technology to connect people across the world and to develop video games from scratch within 48 hours.
Last year, 6866 games were created at 600 locations in 93 countries.
Organiser of the Wrexham event, Richard Hebblewhite, senior lecturer in computing at Glyndwr University, said it was beginning to broaden beyond simple, computer-based games.
"I'm hoping for a diverse group of participants this year so we can have people working on everything from board games to physical arcade machines and traditional digital products," he said.
Last year's event in Wrexham saw a team of 58 design and develop 18 individual games within the 48-hour period.
Conor McGinn, 32, said Neasa Constance was born after "a crash course in midwifery over the phone with a 999 call handler" on Friday evening.
The Labour MP for St Helens North announced the birth on Facebook, saying "mum and baby are doing very well".
"Those 'Labour delivers all year round' leaflets will take on a new meaning in St Helens," he joked.
He added: "Dad is only slightly traumatised after delivering the baby on the living room floor when she decided to arrive a bit quicker than expected... so quickly in fact that she beat the ambulance to it, meaning I had to have a crash course in midwifery over the phone with a 999 call-handler!
"Neasa is healthy and content and we feel very lucky and happy to have her."
Mr McGinn and his wife Kate married in 2009 and have a son.
The Northern Ireland-born politician was elected in 2015, and was a Labour whip before standing down earlier this month following the controversial sacking of chief whip Dame Rosie Winterton in Jeremy Corbyn's reshuffle.

Munir al-Medani, 21, was shot in the chest late on Thursday when police fired on a demonstration in the town of Qatif, in Eastern Province, they added.
The police confirmed a man had died, but said officers had responded after being shot at by unidentified gunmen.
The protesters were reportedly demanding the release of Shia political prisoners and democratic reforms.
Qatif is home to a Shia majority that has long complained of marginalisation at the hands of the Sunni ruling family, the Al Saud.
Saudi opposition websites said at least six other people were injured at Thursday's demonstration. Photographs and videos posted online meanwhile showed a young man identified as Medani covered in blood.
A police spokesman in Eastern Province later told the state news agency, SPA, that one "rioter" had been killed and three wounded.
"A security force patrol came under heavy gunfire from masked men while it was carrying out its duties in al-Shwaika area of Qatif," he said.
There was "an exchange of fire that left four of the rioters wounded, one of whom died before reaching hospital", he added.
Protests erupted in Eastern Province in March when the popular uprising in neighbouring Bahrain, which has a Shia majority and a Sunni royal family, was crushed with the assistance of Saudi and other Gulf troops.
In November, four Shia men were shot dead by security forces over four days in Qatif. The interior ministry said they had been armed and operating on "foreign orders" - generally seen as code for Iran.
Another protester was shot dead last month in the town of al-Awamiya.
About 500 people have been arrested since March. Activists say 80 remain in custody, including author Nazir al-Majid and human rights activist Fadil al-Munasif.
Rhys Turner put Morecambe on their way with the opener in a flying start to consign Town to just their third home league defeat of the season.
The defence was caught napping in the third minute when the recalled Turner rose unchallenged to head in a cross from Michael Rose.
Mullin then raced through to double the advantage inside seven minutes by slipping the ball under keeper Glenn Morris following a pass by Antony Evans.
Crawley threatened for the first time when leading marksman James Collins forced keeper Barry Roche to parry his goal-bound shot.
But Mullin, after forcing keeper Morris to save well from his attempted chip, made it 3-0 five minutes before the break with a lob from eight yards which Morris got a touch to but could not keep out.
Crawley had a let-off on the hour when a surging run by Evans set up Lee Molyneux and his low shot flew inches wide.
A Collins penalty got the home side on the scoresheet after Liam Wakefield felled Rhys Murphy.
Molyneux then went close when his low drive was cleared off the line by Mark Connolly, but Morecambe stood firm to take all three points.

Crews were called to Kingston Industrial Estate in Ardgowan Street, Port Glasgow, at 14:30 on Saturday.
About 25 firefighters battled flames and thick smoke in the workshops which housed buses and other vehicles.
A 39-year-old man was treated at the scene for minor burns to his hands. An investigation was due to be carried out to establish the cause of the blaze.
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said two appliances were still at the scene on Sunday dampening down remaining parts of the buildings.
A demolition team was later brought in to bring down the remains of the units.
More than two-thirds (69%) of the spirits currently sold fall below the 50p per unit threshold, according to analysts Nielsen.
They assessed till sales data from nearly 1,200 Scottish stores.
The Scottish government has said it plans to bring in minimum price legislation "as soon as possible".
According to Nielsen's survey more than two-thirds of beer (67%) was priced below the minimum 50p per unit threshold, followed by 51% of cider.
Blended Scotch on average would need to rise in price by 20% to meet the threshold, while vodka will have to go up by 16.3%, according to the study.
By contrast, just 3.4% of wine sales made during the survey would be impacted by the new legislation.
Nielsen senior client manager Marika Pratico said: "Wine is, by far, the least impacted and so has the most to gain from minimum pricing.
"Overall, wine will need to raise prices by the least amount, thus, it becomes more affordable relative to other alcohol."
She predicted there could be an increase in cross-border alcohol shopping among the Scottish to England and Ireland, where prices would be cheaper, "mirroring what many Britons already do with the annual Calais run".
In October the Court of Session in Edinburgh ruled against a challenge led by the Scotch Whisky Association (SWA), which argued that minimum unit pricing was a breach of European Law.
The SWA is considering whether to appeal the decision at the UK Supreme Court in London.
MSPs passed legislation at Holyrood in 2012 to bring in minimum pricing, which would initially be set at 50p per unit.

Flanker Blair Cowan was concussed late on but Stuart Hogg's back injury "is not considered an immediate concern".
Full-back Hogg was forced off after 28 minutes in Cardiff, with Ruaridh Jackson coming on in his place.
Cowan, who replaced John Barclay for the final 15 minutes, will be subject to the "graduated return to play protocols" at his club London Irish in the 'fallow' week before the Six Nations resumes.
Cowan's club-mate Sean Maitland will have further treatment and assessment with the Exiles after being forced to withdraw from the Scotland line-up on the morning of the match with an injured thigh.
The outstanding Seymour scored Scotland's first try in Cardiff as Vern Cotter's side suffered their second straight defeat of this year's championship, and a ninth in a row in the tournament since beating Italy in Rome two years ago.
Verizon's purchase of Yahoo's core internet arm was put in doubt last year after disclosure of two cyber attacks.
Several reports in the US said Yahoo has now accepted a price cut of up to $350m and agreed to share liability with Verizon for potential lawsuits.
News of the renegotiated terms was first reported by Bloomberg, which said an announcement could come this week.
Verizon wants to combine Yahoo's search, email and messenger assets, as well as advertising technology tools, with its AOL unit. Verizon bought AOL in 2015 for $4.4bn.
Verizon sees mobile video and advertising as new sources of revenue outside an overcrowded US telecoms market.
One of the original early internet search providers, Yahoo admitted in December 2016 it had been hit by a large cyber attack in 2013 which affected more than a billion customer accounts.
Yahoo had already admitted another breach in 2014 that had affected around half a billion users.
The US Securities and Exchange Commission has launched an investigation into whether Yahoo should have disclosed the breaches sooner, according to a report last month in the Wall Street Journal.
On Wednesday, Yahoo sent a warning to users whose accounts may have potentially been accessed by hackers between 2015 and 2016, as part of a data security issue related to the breach it disclosed in December. Yahoo did not say how many users may have been affected.
Since the hacking revelations last year, Yahoo has focused on trying to restore confidence in its key search business.
But latest financial results showed a fall in search revenue of 6% in the final quarter of 2016.
However, revenue from other parts of the business - the mobile, video, and social advertising units - grew more strongly.
Starting in north east Wales, Stephen Crabb and Lord Maude's visits include Airbus in Broughton and Wrexham-based financial services company DTCC.
Mr Crabb said he wanted to "showcase our country to the world", and show how the UK government could help companies.
Foreign investment created over 5,000 Welsh jobs in 2015, ministers said.
"Last year 4,000 Welsh companies took their first steps into export, and this year we are already up to 3000," Mr Crabb said as the tour began on Thursday.
"I urge those companies considering exporting to go on the Exporting is Great website or come to the first ever Exporting is Great roadshow in Wales, which kicks off next month."
Lord Maude added: "It has been inspiring seeing the enthusiasm for exporting here in Wales, and hearing the success that can be achieved when companies start to expand overseas.
"With exports approaching £3bn each year in Wales alone, there is clearly demand out there for UK products and services."
On Friday, Lord Maude will be in Deeside, visiting Toyota's engine plant and medical supplies firm ConvaTec, where he will meet the Welsh government's Economy Minister Edwina Hart.
UK Trade and Investment, the government department responsible for encouraging investment by overseas firms, works with the Welsh government to bring projects to Wales.
On Wednesday, Mrs Hart announced plans for up to 44 events in 16 countries to raise Wales' trade and tourism profile in 2016-17.

A crowd of 23,012 attended Forest's 4-3 win against Burton Albion on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Forest head coach Philippe Montanier says his side will need to play "the perfect game" to get a result at Brighton on Friday.
"Brighton are one of the best teams in the league. It's a good challenge for us in our first away game," he told BBC Radio Nottingham.
"They are a very dangerous team because they can defend very well but with the ball they are very skilful.
"To have a good result over there we need to play the perfect game. They have very good organisation and good technical level with the ball. They attack in numbers."
He told TV station London Live his connection with his fans was "spiritual" and "beautiful" and "pulled me through having PTSD, definitely".
The star was speaking before he quit BBC One's Strictly Come Dancing, citing unspecified "personal reasons".
He said he developed PTSD after he began performing in Cabaret in 2012.
He did not reveal if he had suffered a specific trauma, but has previously spoken about how it was a culmination of years of hiding his homosexuality, being bullied at primary school and being separated from his twin brother at birth.
Young spoke about his PTSD during the interview, which was recorded on 9 August but only broadcast for the first time on Wednesday.
"PTSD is a thing I learned about because I got it, I had a breakdown, after my fifth album, called Echoes," he told London Live's London Real programme.
"It was kind of the album I always wanted to do, and then I moved into this perfect house, and my life was perfect, and I was like, 'This could be pictured in Wallpaper magazine.'
"I was just at a loss, I had a number one album, top five single, and I thought 'Oh, this is not good, this is not going to be easy', and then just slowly began to unravel.
"Then I went into theatre, did Cabaret for the first time, and then I got PTSD and got depersonalisation and derealisation, which is when your body can't cope with the flooding of emotions from the past, so it shuts down.
"I couldn't see my face in the mirror, I couldn't recognise places or family or friends."
Not long afterwards, Young said, he went into Khiron House, a trauma centre in London.
"At that stage, actually I diagnosed myself with the depersonalisation, but I was taking medication and so I thought it was the medication and then so many people get misdiagnosed for bipolar particularly when actually it is trauma," Young said.
"And then I'd gone to Khiron House, and luckily had incredible therapists. It was my therapist that said 'I think you've got trauma.' If it wasn't for her I think I'd probably be on a cocktail of medication and probably would've killed myself."
Young spoke about how being on stage had helped his recovery.
London Real presenter Brian Rose asked the singer what the essence of being a performer was and how it felt being on stage.
Young replied: "I can only talk for myself but I think there's a huge need for affirmation that must be in there. A drive.
"There's a bit of a monster that, as soon as I walk on the stage, I'm like, 'Ahh, the applause is there,'" he added.
"I think you need that, it must be about wanting to voice something that couldn't be voiced.
"And then it becomes about communication, and because the communication is very pure, it can't help but tap in to something with other people, and then it comes this moulding mass of energy, and it can't be described.
"It's completely spiritual, and that is something that is beautiful, and I'd go as far as to say that probably saved my life. Knowing that authenticity. That has pulled me through having PTSD, definitely."

Saints full-back Cuco Martina marked his first league start with a stunning goal, curling in from 30 yards out.

Arsenal's Olivier Giroud and Theo Walcott missed free headers, before Shane Long finished from close range and Jose Fonte headed in the third.
Striker Long struck the post with three minutes remaining, but managed to add a fourth through the legs of Petr Cech.
It could have been even worse for the visitors. Virgil van Dijk had a header ruled out for offside, while Dusan Tadic's dipping strike was pushed away by Cech.
Arsenal had lost just one of their previous 11 league games and recorded an impressive victory over Manchester City on Monday but Arsene Wenger's side could not back that performance up with victory on the south coast.
Having seen leaders Leicester beaten by Liverpool earlier in the day, the Gunners would have gone top with a win but were resoundingly beaten by a rampant Southampton side.
Playmaker Mesut Ozil - who has received plenty of plaudits for his impressive performances this season - was kept quiet by the Southampton midfield, while former Saint Walcott posed little threat, attempting only 20 passes before being substituted.
Going into the game, Arsenal had conceded the joint-fewest number of goals (14) in the league this season and their second-half capitulation will be a big worry to Wenger.
Arsenal need to win games against teams in the bottom half of the table if they are to take the title, but did not come close to capitalising on the points dropped by Claudio Ranieri's side.
The pressure was starting to grow on Southampton boss Ronald Koeman after five winless games left them just four points above the relegation zone.
But they were marshalled brilliantly in the middle of the park by the superb Victor Wanyama, who made a match-high six tackles and 10 interceptions, often bullying the opposition players.
The opening goal was stunning. There seemed to be no danger when defender Per Mertesacker headed the ball away, and Martina steadied himself before unleashing an outside-of-the-foot drive which started wide of the post before swerving into the net.
Arsenal posed little threat and the hosts added to their tally with a slick counter-attacking move.
There was a hint of controversy in it though, as Long and Laurent Koscielny came together in the build-up, leaving the Frenchman on the ground, allowing Long to stride forward unchallenged and stroke in from Sadio Mane's pass.
Defender Fonte added a bullet header and Long grabbed his second to complete a comprehensive victory for Southampton who managed their first clean sheet in six games.

Southampton manager Ronald Koeman: "You don't expect a 4-0 win against Arsenal. Of course we have a good football team, but we have struggled in recent weeks. But the second half was perfect. It was a tough night for Arsenal, we caused them a lot of problems. It was an amazing result."
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger: "We lost too many challenges and that explains why we lost the game. But that's one aspect, so well done to them.
"The second aspect is that on the first three goals we were really unlucky with the decision of the referee. The first goal was offside, the second goal was a foul and the third goal was a goal kick, so if you're a bit below par and on top of that you have the first three goals against you in the decision-making then it's even more difficult."
It's a quick turnaround for both sides. Southampton travel to West Ham on Monday (17:30 GMT), while Arsenal will look to get back to winning ways when they host Bournemouth on the same day (also 17:30 GMT).

Sarah Cooke was principal of Foxhole Academy in St Austell, Cornwall where her husband Peter Cooke was a handyman.
He was caught by neighbours watching porn and masturbating in his garden and was handed a suspended sentence.
Mrs Cooke also failed to report that her husband was cautioned for stealing women's underwear in 2012. She has now been banned indefinitely from teaching.
More on this story and other Devon and Cornwall news
The Education Secretary made the ban following a panel hearing last month. It prohibits Mrs Cooke from teaching in any school, sixth form college, relevant youth accommodation or children's home in England.
The National College for Teaching and Leadership (NCTL) panel said Mrs Cooke had breached professional standards and found her guilty of five charges of wrongdoing.
The panel also said she showed "a lax attitude" to safeguarding before recommending a prohibition order.
Mrs Cooke resigned after her husband of 30 years was arrested early last year, over the garden incident.
Analysts said it was unlikely the US Federal Reserve would raise interest rates this month after the US economy added just 38,000 jobs in May - the fewest since September 2010.
On Wall Street, the Dow Jones fell 31.50 points to 17807.06.
The S&P 500 index slid 6.13 points to 2099.13, while the Nasdaq dropped 28.85 to 4942.52.
Shares in banks - which tend to benefit from rising interest rates - experienced some of the biggest falls. Shares of JP Morgan Chase fell 1.7% and Goldman Sachs slipped 2.3%. Bank of America stock tumbled 3.5%.
The US unemployment rate fell to 4.7% from 5%, the lowest since November 2007, but this was partly due to a large number of people stopping the hunt for work.
"It certainly takes off the table any kind of chance of a rate movement at all in the month of June," said Terry DuFrene, global investment specialist at JP Morgan.
"Now that's got to be pushed out until maybe the early fall before there's any sort of rate movement at all."
The dollar fell against a basket of currencies in reaction to the data. Against the yen, it dropped more than 2%.
The dip in the value of the dollar sent shares of mining and gold companies soaring.
Shares of Iamgold rose 15.7% and Yamana Gold climbed 14%. Both companies are Canadian-based, but listed in New York.
Five men and one woman in their 20s were detained at about 08:00 BST on Friday in the departure zone of the Kent port, police said on Twitter.
Searches have taken place at a number of addresses in Birmingham.
Police said the arrests were part of an on-going investigation, and the suspects are not a family group and were not accompanied by children.
Four of the men arrested are from Birmingham - a 25-year-old from Small Heath, two 26-year-olds from Acocks Green and Alum Rock and a 28-year-old from Lozells, police said.
A man aged 26 and a 23-year-old woman of no fixed address were also held.
The suspects are being questioned at a police station in the West Midlands area.
They did not pose any immediate risk to public safety, the force added.
Enterprise Minister Jonathan Bell visited company executives in the French capital and said: "I have every belief in its success."
The CSeries will enter service with airlines three years behind schedule next year.
It is presently short of a 300-order target.
Currently, firm orders are 243 and there has not been one since last September. It is also $2bn (£1.29bn) over budget.
However, the Canadian aerospace company sees the CSeries Paris debut as a pivotal moment.
"There's always a lot of pressure to come up with big orders," president of commercial aircraft Fred Cromer told the BBC.
"But right now it's like the old-fashioned days - we are here to show off the equipment."
The company's Belfast division makes the CSeries wings at a £520m factory in Queens Island.
Full production of the two different sized versions of the aircraft would support 800 jobs in a workforce of 5,700.
Invest NI chief executive Alastair Hamilton, who also attended the Paris launch, said: "I believe they will kick on from today. There are many years ahead for this aircraft."
Bombardier's familiar territory is executive jets and this is a major step up into larger passenger planes seating between 100 to 160 passengers.
Its competitors are the big two firms Boeing and Airbus.
Aviation analyst Mark Pilling of Flightglobal said "They're two great big gorillas.
"Bombardier need to execute on this aircraft and get orders."
The technical data announced in Paris revealed improved results on fuel economy, the main selling point of the CSeries.
The larger CS300 will fly to Belfast on Friday for what is seen as a morale-boosting visit for workers.
"Things are working out well," he said of the efforts, as he and wife Melania met victims and volunteers.
"As tough as this was, it's been a wonderful thing," he added. "I think even for the country to watch and for the world to watch."
The devastating hurricane made landfall in the state a week ago.
Some residents have been allowed to return to their homes but flood waters are still rising in other areas.
Harvey has been blamed for at least 47 deaths, and about 43,000 people are currently housed in shelters.
President Trump and the first lady visited Texas earlier in the week but stayed clear of the disaster zone, saying they did not want to divert resources from rescue work.
However, the president was criticised for not meeting victims of the flooding and for focusing largely on the logistics of the government response.
Visiting Texas again on Saturday, Mr and Mrs Trump made a point of meeting flood survivors and volunteers in Houston. They took part in food distribution at a shelter, handing out packed lunches, and posed for photographs with victims when they requested it.
During a tour of a shelter, the president said: "I think people appreciate what's been done. It's been done very efficiently, very well, and that's what we want. We've very happy with the way things are going. A lot of love. There's a lot of love."
The president and his wife then travelled to Lake Charles, Louisiana, which also suffered flash floods.
Amid the destruction, stories have been shared of people opening their homes and businesses to others, and forming human chains to save people from treacherous rising waters.
However, many are also now returning to destroyed homes without the insurance to fix them.
Experts estimate that only about 20% of those in Houston's worst hit areas have flood insurance.
Mr Trump has asked Congress for $7.8bn (£6bn) as an initial payment to help with recovery efforts following the flooding in both Texas and Louisiana, which has also hit production at America's main petrol and oil refining centre.
The White House said on Saturday that the president had authorised an increase in the level of federal funding available for debris removal and emergency protective measures.
Governor of Texas Greg Abbott has said the state may need more than $125bn in aid.
The president has declared Sunday a "National Day of Prayer" for victims of Hurricane Harvey.
Administration officials say there will be further requests for funds when the full impact of Hurricane Harvey becomes known.
In a letter to House of Representatives Speaker Paul Ryan, White House budget director Mick Mulvaney warned that failure to raise the US debt ceiling could hinder recovery efforts.
The debt ceiling is a cap on the total amount the US government can borrow. Only Congress can raise that limit.
Mr Mulvaney said almost half a million households had registered for support for rental assistance and for essential home repairs.
He called on Congress to act "expeditiously to ensure that the debt ceiling does not affect these critical response and recovery efforts". A vote on the emergency request is expected next week.
Harvey dumped an estimated 20 trillion gallons of rain on the Houston area.
Governor Abbott has warned that the recovery programme will be a "multi-year project".
"This is going to be a massive, massive clean-up process," he told ABC News.
Mr Abbott warned that in some parts of Texas, rivers were still rising and flooding "poses an ongoing threat".
Search-and-rescue teams have continued work in Beaumont, a city of about 120,000 people near the Louisiana border, where flooding has cut off the drinking water supply.
The Environmental Protection Agency has warned that floodwater can contain bacteria and other contaminants from overflowing sewers. It said the biggest threat to public health was access to safe drinking water.
Thousands of homes and businesses remain without power, and many schools are expected to remain closed on Monday.
Meanwhile, the Houston Astros, the city's Major League Baseball team, returned home to take on the New York Mets on Saturday. Tributes were paid to those killed ahead of the game.
The team abandoned their home stadium this week, playing three games in Florida against the Texas Rangers.
"We hope that these games can serve as a welcome distraction for our city that is going through a very difficult time," Astros president Reid Ryan said.
"We hope that we can put smiles on some faces."
I didn't want to have any regrets and be one of those blokes who stands in a pub saying 'that could have been me'
The loose forward has captained Leeds Rhinos through the most successful period in their history, leading them to six Grand Final victories, including five in the last six seasons, and three World Club Challenge wins.
The only player to make more than 400 appearances for the Rhinos, Sinfield has scored more points than any other player, not only for his club but in the history of the Super League.
The 32-year-old has done all this as far away from the limelight as his status allows, with minimum fuss and maximum respect from just about everyone involved in the game.
Now, following the retirement of team-mate Jamie Peacock from international rugby, Sinfield has the chance to transfer his talismanic leadership qualities from club to country as England coach Steve McNamara's chosen leader for the autumn series and beyond.
BBC Sport spoke to Sinfield, and figures from his personal and professional life, to find out what has enabled him to be such a success.
"My brother started playing when he was six at Oldham Juniors, which later turned into Waterhead, the local amateur club.
"I can remember his first game. I came home and said that the Under-Nines were short. I asked him if he wanted to play, but he didn't have any football boots, so we had to borrow some from a friend and put newspaper in the front of them because his feet were so small.
"He picked it up very quickly, though, and by the age of seven or eight he was an outstanding player. I was quite small, but my brother was always quite a big lad.
"A lot of Kevin's success comes down to our parents. We were taught to respect other people and be positive. We are a very close family. There's my sister, she's the eldest, myself and my brother. I live next door to him now.
"Kevin is a very family-orientated person and that reflects on the way he conducts himself. He doesn't really stand in the spotlight and very rarely goes out drinking. I like to think he's the Paul Scholes of rugby league. He's a quiet character but very commanding and gets the respect of his fellow players.
"Kevin has always been mature and had a calm manner about him. From the age of 14, he was very much a young man.
"He's won six championship rings now. I think he gave his children two each, my dad got the one he won last year, while he gave me his ring this year. I was really touched.
"For any young person who has aspirations in rugby, he is a perfect role model. I'm very proud of what he has achieved."
"I've seen him grow up from this young kid that you knew was special. I just didn't know quite how special he was going to be. Having worked with him as a player, you see his professionalism. He is always the last one off the training field.
"I progressed to coaching him, but he is one of those that you don't need to coach as such because you know he leads and doesn't cut corners.
"He has a lot of qualities. Obviously one of those is the way he plays the game, but I'd also highlight his honesty. In everything he does, you know he gives 100% and he lives for his profession. He has an important family life but he puts his profession above things and makes sacrifices.
"I remember the year I retired, at the end of the 2006 season. We went to Catalans in Perpignan. Kev had his own room but there was some mix up and I ended up sharing with him.
"After that trip, I went back to Tony Smith, who was coach at the time, and said if ever you need a young lad to room with anyone, then put him in with Kevin so he can see how to behave properly. He was stretching and doing all that kind of stuff. It was great to see that professional side of the game.
"Without a doubt, he is one of the best captains in the Super League era. There is a dynasty that Leeds have built up and Kevin is a massive part of that. I'm not sure that will ever be repeated. What they have achieved is fantastic and they wouldn't have been able to do that without him.
"Hopefully, there will be more accolades coming his way because he is not only a great rugby league player but a great person. What he has done for the game and for people in the north of England is huge. It has been a pleasure to play alongside him and coach him as well."
"Kev is a massive factor in moving Leeds Rhinos forward, what we've done well and the image it portrays. When Jamie Peacock retired from England, I thought there was only one choice to succeed him and I think everybody feels the same.
I can't think of a more inspirational captain in any sport than Kevin Sinfield. His cucumber-cool leadership and immaculate technique during the fiercest of battles is a lesson to anyone in trusting your team-mates, your own ability and your gameplan when pressure breeds panic elsewhere. That he rarely makes a wrong decision on the field makes him the perfect choice as skipper.
"Kev has done a great job for Leeds and he'll continue to do that for England. He is a cool, calm character who speaks sense, not only in training but in tough times in games. He comes up with the right stuff.
"Not only does he speak sense but he leads by example on the pitch. He is a great guy and a knowledgeable guy.
"The whole play-off system shows that big games need big players and there is nobody bigger than Kev for Leeds. He's been doing it for years.
"It is easy to see why they call him 'Sir Kev'. He is a big hit with the fans and I'm sure Kev will be knighted by the end of his rugby career."
"When I first met Kevin, he was at my old amateur club Waterhead. I was made aware of this talented young rugby player who could dictate and dominate a game at such a tender age. At that point, I was in the professional ranks at Wigan and they were very interested in him, along with Warrington, St Helens and Leeds.
"He was 15 when he joined Leeds and 16 when he made his debut at home against Sheffield. From that point on, our lives were intertwined with the Rhinos.

"Kev won't see this as an insult but I think he is the most manufactured player in the game. From that Sunday afternoon in Sheffield in 1997, he has looked at everybody he can to get the information he needs to be in front in every aspect of the game.
"Kev himself would pay tribute to the people at Leeds. Director of rugby Chris Gibson is a big source of inspiration to players and staff at the club and the passion of people like him runs through to the players who have been here a long time.
"In the period Kev came through, the club was going through transition - legends like Gary Schofield and Ellery Hanley had gone and they couldn't afford the likes of Craig Innes and Kevin Iro so they had to find a way of producing their own players and making potential into reality through the right culture. Kevin is now one of the chief endorsers of that.
"I think Kev's leadership style is total loyalty to the company, to the family, to the team and ultimately to his goal of success.
"When he was first made captain, he didn't have the experience he has now but he did have an unrelenting desire to get things right. That rubs off on people. His inspirational way of leading his life has helped elevate this club to what I think is the best in the world.
"On top of all that, he is bags of fun. When he needs to be serious, he is. But when he doesn't, he is like a child playing tricks and jokes on everybody. He is at a stage in his career now that he needs to savour everything and he does that to the fullest."
"The first side I captained was Lancashire Under-10s. Since then, I've captained representative teams all through the juniors. I was English Schools captain at Under-16 and then I didn't really do it until I was made Leeds captain at 22.
"My mum and dad deserve huge credit for where I am today. They've played a huge part with the effort and hours they put in, not just for me but my brother and sister, making us good people and supporting us on the paths we've followed. Now my wife and kids keep me grounded.
"I like to think of myself as an honest bloke and an honest type of player. I know what my qualities and my weaknesses are.
"I'm not going to say I can do what Sam Tomkins or Rangi Chase or Danny McGuire does. I haven't got lightning pace and I'm not going to rip teams apart on my own. But what I can do is get a team around a field and when I've got talent around me I know the best position to give them the ball in.
"Ellery Hanley would be my big inspiration in rugby league. Around the late 1980s and early 1990s, he was the figurehead for British rugby. What he achieved in the game, how he played and how he led his teams left a big mark on me.
"The other influence is Roy Keane. He has had his run-ins with authority, but he was the best at getting the very best out of the people around him. I'd like to think I can do a similar role.
"When I first started out, I was the kind of guy who wanted to give everything my best shot. I didn't want to have any regrets and be one of those blokes who stands in a pub saying 'that could have been me'.
"It is only a short career and I thought I'd make as many sacrifices as I could and see where it takes me. I missed out on some things, but I wouldn't change anything.
"You mellow a bit as you get older and become smarter with your time. I've always felt guilty going on holiday and having down time. But with the amount of games we've played in the last two seasons, I've forced myself to have some rest. It was difficult, but it was probably best I did.
"As long as I'm enjoying it, my standards don't drop and the coach is happy with me, then I'll keep playing. You play your best stuff when you're enjoying yourself and I'm certainly enjoying myself at the moment."
Portugal captain Ronaldo topped the influential business magazine's list for the first time 12 months ago.
The Euro 2016 winner earned $93m (£72.05m) from salary, bonuses and endorsements last year.
The 32-year-old saw his earnings rise $5m (£3.87m) a year on.
The list of elite athletes consists of players from 11 different sports.
Basketball dominates with a record 32 NBA players among the top 100, up from 18 in 2016, followed by baseball with 22, American football with 15 and football with nine.
The top 100 athletes earned a total of $3.11bn (£2.4bn) over the last 12 months, a slight decrease from last year's earnings of $3.15bn (£2.43bn).
Golfer Rory McIlroy is the highest-earning Briton on the list. His $50m (£38.74m) puts him in sixth place - of that, $34m (£26.34m) came from endorsements.
Wales international Gareth Bale, Ronaldo's Real Madrid team-mate, remains the highest-earning British footballer, with his $34m (£26.34m) putting him 24th.
World number two tennis player Serena Williams is the only woman on the list, in 51st, with $27m (£20.92m) made last year.
Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic in 30th with $32m (£24.79m), is the highest-placed Premier League footballer.

The mature red deer stag was filmed raiding a suburban garden on the edge of Exmoor, Somerset by biologist Dr Jochen Langbein.
Mr Langbein, who has followed the deer for two years, said: "It's learned to very deliberately use the tip of his antlers to dislodge bird feeders in order to get at the contents.
"At the moment it's only him, the others haven't caught on yet."
The 12 to 15-year-old stag was caught on camera by Mr Langbein at the beginning of the year.
"He was a particularly wily old stag," he said.
"I saw him raiding another bird feeder two years ago, but he was not quite as adept then."
Standing at up to 140cm (4.5ft) tall and weighing around 200kg (440lbs), red deer are Britain's largest land mammal.
But with poaching "on the rise'" on Exmoor, Mr Langbein said stag are returning night after night to their "favourite garden haunts" where they "feel safe".
He added: "There are a number that travel from the middle of Exmoor down to people's gardens.
"However, many people remain blissfully unaware of their nightly garden visitors."
Online poker was legalised in the state in February. And states across the US, probably starting with New Jersey and Delaware, look likely to follow suit.
The Nevada Gaming Control Board has issued a 30-day licence to allow websites to compete for customers, with UltimatePoker.com the first to go live.
Online gambling is expected to generate billions of dollars for US authorities.
Each year an estimated 10 million Americans play online poker, but the sites are currently based offshore, meaning state and federal authorities make no money from them.
Internet gambling was banned by Congress in 2006, but states across the US now hope to relax the rules.
Under the terms of the Nevada licence, players must be at least 21 years old and residents of the state. Initially, only online poker will be played.
UltimatePoker is a subsidiary of Station Casinos, which operates 16 casinos across Las Vegas.
US group Stop Predatory Gambling has said the alliance between government and the gambling industry is "actively encouraging people to lose money".
The UK is often cited as a leader in gambling regulation. Online sites are required to verify identities and link and provide support to help services for addicts.
Butt there has been a big increase in the number gambling addicts in the UK, where online betting is a £2bn industry.
In 2010, research from the Gambling Commission estimated there were 450,000 problem gamblers in the UK, with an average debt of £17,500, 200,000 more than in 2007.
Microgaming Software Systems, based in the Isle of Man, created the world's first online casino 20 years ago.
Hilary Benn made a barnstorming speech in favour of bombing Syria, while his boss Jeremy Corbyn, who disagreed with him, sat rather stony faced on the front bench behind him. Even though Labour MPs had been given a "free vote" on the issue, to allow the expression of opposing views, it screamed "split". A majority of Labour MPs voted with Corbyn, but Benn got a rare round of applause in the Commons and the plaudits of the nation's media pundits.
After much tortuous reshuffle negotiation, and speculation that he would be sacked, a compromise appeared to have been reached with Mr Benn. Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell told the Today programme: "When it comes down to future debates we won't have a situation where he will be speaking from the front bench when there is a major disagreement on policy and where the Parliamentary Labour Party is in the majority against him." Mr Corbyn will speak from the front bench and "if there is a disagreement and people on a free vote want to express their views, they will do it from the back benches," he explained.
Hilary Benn insists he hasn't been "muzzled" and his team are briefing that there has been no deal. It is also worth stressing that it would that it would only apply in free votes, which are pretty rare. In a normal whipped vote, any shadow minister who fancied speaking out against the leader's position, would still have to resign or be sacked. Those are the rules.
It is not unprecedented for ministers, or shadow ministers, to speak from the backbenches, but it is normally on constituency matters or issues that are not part of their brief. No one can recall a frontbencher returning temporarily to the back benches to make a speech on something that they are meant to be leading on.
John McDonnell suggested in a BBC News Channel interview that Mr Benn could emulate himself and Mr Corbyn, who spent their lengthy careers to this point speaking from the back benches, often against their party leader. Not to be uncharitable to the pair, but hardly anyone in the media was interested when they did it. But if a senior figure like Mr Benn did it, it would almost certainly become the story. Conservative MPs would be beside themselves with glee.
David Cameron has decided to give his ministers the freedom to campaign for either side in the EU referendum in "a personal capacity". No one has said anything about Tory ministers making speeches on Europe from the back benches, if they disagree with the government's official view, but it would be one way round the problem....
A weakened dollar helped boost commodity prices, which in turn boosted mining shares. Glencore jumped 3.4% and Anglo American rose 2.7%
That helped the FTSE 100 to a 2.2% gain, leaving it at 6,894.
One big event for traders was the release of the US employment report for August, which showed that 151,000 jobs were created last month.
That was fewer than many economists had been expecting and undermines the argument for an increase in interest rates when the US Federal Reserve meets later this month.
"Today's jobs data has raised expectations that a US rate hike could be delayed," said Jawaid Afsar, senior trader at Securequity.
"A weakness in the dollar following the payroll numbers has helped commodities, which have a heavy weight on the benchmark FTSE 100 index."
A positive report on the UK construction sector also helped.
Shares in the transport group Go-Ahead soared more than 10% after it reported results. The company said profit rose 27% to £99.8m, despite troubles at railway operator Southern, which it co-owns.
On the currency markets, the pound was 0.2% lower against the dollar at $1.3299.
It was 0.6% higher against the euro at €1.1918.
John Moore Museum received £189,500 from the Heritage Lottery Fund for the Old Baptist Chapel, thought to be the UK's earliest Baptist meeting house.
Curator Simon Lawton said the building was "vital to our local heritage".
The work to regenerate the building starts this month and is due to be completed in May 2018.
Nerys Watts, from the Heritage Lottery Fund South West, said: "We're delighted to support the John Moore Museum as they bring their historic chapel back into use for the community and visitors to enjoy."
Mr Lawton said: "We'll also be opening it up for hire to local groups so that the town gets full use of this important, yet hidden, architectural gem."
The museum and the chapel are run by The Abbey Lawn Trust, which owns 23 properties within the precincts of Tewkesbury Abbey.
James Collins told the mental health tribunal assessing Brady's condition that his type of paranoid schizophrenia does not "just fade away and die".
Brady, 75, wants to be transferred to prison where he hopes to have more control over when he dies.
He has been on hunger strike since 1999 and is fed through a tube.
Brady and his partner, Myra Hindley, tortured and murdered five children, aged 10 to 17, between July 1963 and October 1965, burying some of their victims' bodies on Saddleworth Moor, near Manchester.
Brady was first sent to Ashworth, on Merseyside, in 1985 after being diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, suffering delusions and hallucinations.
Dr Collins, giving evidence during the third day of the tribunal, said he believed Brady's illness was "clearly still active".
"He is better, much better and able to control it (the illness) - but his life is still severely handicapped by his disorder, his mental illness," he said.
"He is acting like someone who is chronically psychotic."
Brady wants the tribunal to judge that he is no longer ill so he can move to prison - where he hopes he will not be fed against his will, so he might try to starve himself to death - although his precise intentions remain unclear. Ashworth Hospital opposes any bid to move him to a prison.
Dr Collins said Brady had paranoid beliefs about fellow patients and staff.
He said Brady thought patients were spying on him, and that staff were agents for the Home Office and Prison Officers Association.
Brady wrongly believed that others were out "to get at him" and he had spilled cereal outside one man's door and smeared the chair of another with jam and honey.
Dr Collins said that over the past eight months Brady had barely come out of his room, unless at night or when other patients were in the canteen.
Brady's wish that he could "send cancer in an envelope" to one doctor was one example of the anger which was the driving force for his paranoia, the tribunal was told.
But Dr Collins said he was not aware that Brady was paranoid before he was jailed.
He said Brady had managed to hold down a relationship with Hindley, a job, and "sideline work" as a pornography dealer when he was a young man.
Among a "whole range" of psychotic episodes - "many of them pleasant" - experienced by Brady were talks with entertainers Laurel and Hardy, and Cilla Black.
Asked to predict Brady's response if he were returned to prison, Dr Collins said he thought there would be a "period of triumph", but that "he is going to be frightened".
"He has always said prison is horrible. He had a horrible time at Durham and he would not come out of his room at Parkhurst.
"He is going to be frightened... he won't admit it. He is going to be dreading the consequences. I am not sure he will come out of his room."
He said he thought it might be "relatively quick" for Brady to return to his condition as it was in 1985 when he experienced overt hallucinations, adding that it could take "only a matter of weeks".
General Sir Richard Shirreff told The Times that politicians were "terrified of any form of intervention" ahead of next year's general election.
This comes as RAF Tornado jets are to be sent for possible use in a northern Iraq aid operation, as thousands of people flee from Islamist fighters.
The government said on Monday the jets would leave within the next 48 hours.
General Shirreff, who was the UK's most senior officer at Nato HQ until last March, said the UK government had "politicians who want to posture" but "do not have any stick".
"What we have got is this commitment-phobic government that is terrified of being seen to be putting boots on the ground at a time when they are trying to extract from everything," he said.
The general also said: "The longer we sit on our hands and prevaricate, the more dangerous the situation is going to become.
"These things don't go away. We have got a situation. There is no way round it. You have just got to go through it and resolve it."
Prime Minister David Cameron has resisted pressure to recall Parliament to debate a UK military role in the Iraq crisis.
Islamic State (IS) fighters have made substantial gains in northern Iraq in recent months, forcing tens of thousands of people from religious minorities to flee their homes.
The UK's Tornado jets are set to take off from RAF Marham in Norfolk, and could carry out surveillance to assist delivery of aid supplies.
On Sunday an attempt to deliver aid was called off when the RAF crew decided that the supplies could have injured people below.
"If you are going to do anything, if you are serious about avoiding a humanitarian disaster, you have got to do it properly," said General Shirreff, who said he believed soldiers should be on the ground helping to deliver the aid to the right places.
The UK government has said it will work with Iraqi, Kurdish and international representatives in the area "to mitigate safety concerns".
It also said it would look at how it could play a role in getting equipment to Kurdish forces so they were better able to counter IS fighters.
US forces have carried out four rounds of air strikes targeting IS militants near Irbil, the capital of Iraqi Kurdistan.
The US has also begun supplying weapons to the Kurdish Peshmergas, who are fighting the militants, senior US officials told the Associated Press.
At least 38 people are now feared dead after two buses and a car fell into the Savitri river in Maharashtra.
More than 150 rescuers and divers have been searching for the victims.
Officials say the collapse late on Tuesday was likely caused by heavy rains and flooding which had thrashed the ageing bridge for days.
Senior local official Satish Bagal told the Press Trust of India the bodies of three women and six men had now been found.
Some were recovered up to 100km (62 miles) downstream from the place where the bridge collapsed.
"One of the victims has been indentified as a driver [of one of the buses], while another is a bus conductor."
Mr Bagal said two of the women had been identified as passengers who had been travelling in an SUV on the road.
None of the vehicles have yet been recovered and efforts to find them are ongoing, said disaster management official Sagar Pathak.
Officials say bad weather has been hindering the search.
Safety issues such as lack of inspections and the use of substandard materials have plagued construction in India.
In March, a flyover being built in the city of Kolkata (Calcutta) collapsed, killing at least 20 people and injuring nearly 100.
And in 2011, some 32 people died and 132 were injured after a bridge collapsed at a political event in Darjeeling in West Bengal.
The president will focus on cementing his legacy rather than unveiling new policies, officials have said.
Mr Obama is expected to frame some of the key issues in a way that fellow Democrats can embrace during campaigning for the upcoming election.
However, recent polls suggest that seven in 10 people in the US do not share their leader's optimism.
A response by the Republican party will be delivered by South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley.
In excerpts from the speech released in advance, Mr Obama urges Americans to make world changes work for them and overcome fears.
He will say the future the US wants is only possible if the country "fixes its politics" and works together.
"A better politics doesn't mean we have to agree on everything... But democracy does require basic bonds of trust between its citizens," the speech reads.
Hours before the event, 10 US sailors were held by Iran after their boat had mechanical issues and sailed into Iranian waters. They are expected to be released on Wednesday.
Mr Obama's aides have avoided characterising the speech as a victory lap, but say it will highlight his accomplishments over the past seven years.
They say that it will present an optimistic alternative to the dire narratives put forward by Republican presidential candidates.
Among the events and developments that he will tout as successes are:
He will also continue his public messaging campaign aimed at improving the image of his strategy against the so-called Islamic State.
Keeping with tradition, the president will speak about what he would like to see Congress work on and his vision for the US beyond his last year in office.
While he is not expected to offer a large list of policy proposals, he could urge action on a number of items he feels have been left undone or could be accomplished with bipartisan support during his remaining year in office.
Among the items that could be on his to-do list:
Also keeping with tradition, First Lady Michelle Obama will host several guests that reflect the president's vision for US society.
This year, an empty chair will be featured in remembrance of gun violence victims.
Among the many guests:
The speech is expected to begin around 21:00 local time (02:00 GMT), and has - in the past - had a duration of about an hour.
Mr Obama's remarks mark the fulfilment of a constitutional mandate that requires the president to "from time to time give the Congress information on the State of the Union".
Historically, the update has usually been given annually, in January, as a speech to a joint session of Congress.
It's an important victory for the team, as it's the first time an English side of any age has been able to call themselves football world champions, since England won the World Cup in 1966.
The Under-20 World Cup is one of the biggest global tournament in youth football, and has been an important launch-pad for a lot of big names in football.
Famous players like Lionel Messi, Luis Figo, and Paul Pogba have all been part of winning sides in the tournament in the past.
So which players should you be keeping an eye on? - we've been finding out...
One of the heroes of the tournament, Freddie's saves against Sergio Cordova and Adalberto Penaranda in the final helped the team win the cup.
He is also the winner of the coveted Golden Glove award, for his skills as a keeper.
Rumours that United's boss Jose Mourinho is interested in Freddie have also been circulating.
However a move to a Championship club seems more likely for the rising star.
Another Fifa U20's World Cup hero, Dominic scored the winning goal in the final against Venezuela.
He's made a big impression over the last 12 months in the football scene.
His current team Everton have even offered him a new contract at the end of last season.
He 's got the goal-scoring skills and many have said he's got a promising future.
JonJoe was one of the only members of the England U20 squad to play every minute in the World Cup.
He was captain of the Everton Under-23 side which won the Premier League 2 title last season.

Llinos Medi Huws was understood to be the only candidate left after independent Ken Hughes withdrew.
Some independents were criticised for supporting a Plaid-led administration rather than an independent leader.
Mr Hughes said he was disappointed independent councillors had not united to form an administration.
On 4 May, Plaid gained two seats, overtaking the independents to become the largest group on the island's authority, with 14 seats, leaving no party in overall control.
Labour councillor John Arwel Roberts said he was "very disappointed" some Independents had decided to support Plaid.
The new council leader will be formally elected at a meeting on 23 May.
An international team has just published a review of the events, showing the number of landslides was far lower than people had feared.
And the group could find no evidence of Himalayan glacial lakes suffering significant damage - a key concern.
The assessment has been published in Science magazine.
It has also been presented here in San Francisco at the Fall Meeting of the American Geophysical Union - the world's largest annual gathering of Earth scientists.
"There were a lot of surprises," said study lead Jeffery Kargel from the University of Arizona, Tucson.
"The nature of the earthquakes' influence on the landscape, from the largest scales to the smaller scales, was not really as we would have expected," he told BBC News.
By any measure the Nepal quakes in April and May were devastating: more than eight and a half thousand people lost their lives.
But researchers believe that even this horrific outcome was slight compared with what could have happened.
The main Magnitude 7.8 tremor on 25 April buckled the Earth's surface, making a broad swathe of the high Himalayas slump down while lifting up the adjacent Kathmandu basin. This whole region was also shifted 2m to the south.
Scientists' immediate reaction was to expect many tens of thousands of landslides to be triggered, but a huge volunteer effort to scour satellite images could identify only 4,312.
Similarly, researchers thought that many lakes that had built up behind the rocky deposits of glaciers would be breached by the tremors, sending torrents of water down Nepalese valleys. However, satellite photos and subsequent on-the-ground inspections could find no serious damage.
Quite why this should be is still under study, but scientists think several factors could have contributed.
One concerns the nature of the shaking: although energetic, it was relatively smooth. Another idea is that the rock strength in the region may have been underestimated. Vegetation, like rhododendron forests, could also have played an underappreciated role in holding the landscape together.
None of this diminishes the awfulness of what happened. And the paper published in Science goes into some detail about what happened in the famous trekking village of Langtang, north of Kathmandu.
Here, some two million cubic metres of debris came down the mountainside.
Brian Collins from the US Geological Survey visited the aftermath: "It started off as a snow and ice avalanche somewhere above 5,000m and then slid over 1,000m before going off a cliff and into free-fall for about 500m; and that free-fall was really the damaging aspect of it.
"It had collected a lot of material on the way down and it landed directly on the village."
The scientists have calculated that the mass of snow, ice and rock hit the valley floor with the energy equivalent to half a Hiroshima nuclear bomb. That part of Langtang not buried was destroyed in an airblast, says Jeffery Kargel, the assessment's senior author.
"There's another part of the village that was completely blown away by the landslide or avalanche winds, which we estimate were somewhere in the EF-5 Tornado range, strong enough to completely blow away stone-slab hotels." More than 350 people perished at Langtang.
But, again, even this extraordinary event is put into perspective by a companion paper published in Science magazine.
This details investigations of historic earthquakes in Nepal that occurred around 1,000 years ago. These tremors were likely Magnitude 8 events, or greater, and the landslides and debris movements they triggered completely transformed the landscape around them.
The team found that Pokhara, the second largest city in Nepal, is actually built on top of all this material.
Co-author Oliver Korup, from the University of Potsdam, Germany, said: "Most of it came from a high-lying mountain basin in the Annapurna Massif, 3,000m above sea level. And the debris spread out over nearly 150 square km, and invaded several river valleys up stream, against the flow direction, for up to 7km. [For comparison], the Downtown San Francisco area would be buried beneath at least 50m of debris."

Former GB sprinter Mark Lewis-Francis is set to make his World Cup debut in the four-man bobsleigh in Whistler.
Lamin Deen leads the four-man crew, which also includes Andrew Matthews and Tremayne Gilling.
Former England Rugby Sevens star Sam Blanchet is joined in the two-man bobsleigh by Welsh pilot Bruce Tasker.
Tasker is joined by fellow Welsh competitors Laura Deas, in the skeleton, and Mica Moore.
Commonwealth Games sprint relay finalist Moore, from Newport, will make her World Cup debut alongside pilot Mica McNeil in the women's bobsleigh sled.
Great Britain Bobsleigh performance director Gary Anderson said: "The message I've got from other nations is that they are looking to see what Great Britain have done and they want to pitch themselves against us. That's very positive news for me."
Yarnold, who won Olympic goal at Sochi 2014, also claimed European and overall World Cup titles before announcing in September 2015 that she was taking a year out from the sport.
The three-day World Cup in Canada, which starts on Friday, is the first of eight in the 2016-17 season.

It was announced that the BBC lost the baking competition to Channel 4 last September.
The savings ratio - which measures the outgoings and incomings that affect households - has been falling sharply for more than a year.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said the ratio stood at 1.7% from January to March, down from 3.3% in the previous quarter.
The UK economy grew by 0.2% in the first quarter of 2017, the ONS said.
This was unchanged from an earlier estimate but confirmed the slowdown from the 0.7% rate seen in the final quarter of last year.
Growth in the business services and finance sectors helped to offset slower consumer spending, the ONS said.
Consumer spending and saving were hit by another fall in disposable income.
For the first time since the 1970s, disposable income has fallen for three quarters in a row.
Concerns have also been expressed about the level of consumer borrowing on loans, credit cards, overdrafts and car finance.
But the ONS also said that the timing of tax payments was a major factor in the cut in savings levels since September last year. Gross saving of £5.6bn in the first quarter of the year was a sharp drop from £11bn the previous quarter, and £17.7bn in the three months before that.
Darren Morgan, head of GDP at the ONS, said: "The saving ratio has fallen again this quarter to a new record low, partly as a result of higher tax payments reducing disposable income.
"Some of the fall could be as a result of the timing of those payments, but the underlying trend is for a continued fall in the saving ratio."
Frances O'Grady, general secretary of the TUC, said: "These figures make for grim reading. People raiding their piggy banks is bad news for working people and the economy.
"But with wages falling as living costs rise, many families are having to run down their savings or rely on credit cards and loans to get through the month. With household debt now at crisis levels, we urgently need to create better paid jobs."
Labour's shadow chancellor John McDonnell said: "This suggests that the crisis in earnings not keeping up with prices means that many working households are struggling to make ends meet."
Vince Cable, from the Liberal Democrats, said: "Rising prices and falling wages since the Brexit vote mean families are increasingly unable to live within their means or save for the future.
"Our economy's reliance on consumer spending, propped up by debt, is not sustainable and combined with an extreme Brexit the consequences could be severe."
Earlier this week, financial information service Moneyfacts said that savers have faced a "never-ending battle" to get a decent return on their cash over the past few years.
Nine out of 10 easy access savings accounts pay interest of less than 1%, and a third of such accounts failed to even pay a rate matching the current base rate of 0.25%.
Savings rates are failing to keep pace with the rising cost of living, with inflation at a rate of 2.9%.

The Duke of Rothesay - as he is known north of the border - made a donation through The Prince of Wales's Charitable Foundation.
He drove the steam engine on a line he used to travel on as a child.
The Duke of Rothesay was shown the controls by volunteer driver James West, who said he was a "very good" driver on the short journey on a reconstructed section of the historic line towards Banchory and back.
Mr West said: "I never thought I'd teach the future King to drive a stream train.
"He's driven similar trains before, so kind of understood how they work.
"We chatted on the way down the line about how he'd travelled on the line as a child and he never believed he would travel on it again.
"He took the controls and did all the driving. I did the braking as we approached the platform. His driving was very good."
There was "no clear picture" of how the probation system was performing, two years after changes had been announced, the Public Accounts Committee said.
And it said IT problems had "undermined the pace of change".
The government said it was committed to delivering the "vital reforms" and reducing re-offending rates.
Government changes announced in 2014 have seen the probation service split in two, with:
The aim of is to reduce the human and economic cost of reoffending.
But in a report published on Friday, the Public Accounts Committee said: "The Ministry of Justice is now more than two years into these ambitious reforms, intended to reduce reoffending, but they are far from complete.
"There is still no clear picture of how the new system is performing in important areas of the reforms."
It said information and communications technology (ICT) systems in probation were "inefficient, unreliable and hard to use".
"Failure" to deal with these problems and "serious uncertainty over the impact on providers of lower than expected business volumes" had also "undermined the pace of change".
The MPs also said it was unclear whether the extension of supervision after release to offenders sentenced for less than 12 months was "having the desired impact", saying almost 60% of people who received short prison sentences "reoffend within a year".
The committee acknowledged the "scale of challenges" facing the MoJ in the coming years, particularly in delivering "ambitious" changes to the courts and prisons systems in England and Wales at a time of "increasingly constrained resources".
"But it is crucial that the ministry completes the 'rehabilitation revolution' it has started and makes good on its promise to reduce the huge economic and human cost of reoffending," it said.
Labour MP Meg Hillier, who chairs the committee, said there was a real danger the MoJ had "bitten off more than it can chew".
"Ambition is one thing, but, as our committee continues to document across government, delivering positive results for taxpayers and society in general is quite another," she said.
"'Revolution' is a potent word the government may regret using to describe its reforms to rehabilitation.
"After two years, these are far from complete, and there remain serious risks to achieving the performance levels expected by the end of 2017."
Justice Minister Sam Gyimah said: "We are carrying out a comprehensive review of the probation service to improve outcomes for offenders and communities.
"Public protection is our top priority, and we will not hesitate to take the necessary action to make sure our vital reforms are being delivered to reduce reoffending, cut crime and prevent future victims."
Commenting on the report, Liberal Democrat justice spokesman Jonathan Marks QC said that without his party in government to pursue reform "we have seen progress grind to a halt".
He said the rates of reoffending were not only a "massive waste of public money" but "disastrous" for the public and bad for people "stuck in the cycle of reoffending".
He also accused the government of inaction on reducing the prison population and said many prisons in England and Wales were "academies of crime".
The Lib Dems wants to replace short jail terms with "robust" community sentences and "greater use of tagging" for sentences of less than 12 months.
At least one person was treated in hospital and several were hurt as police used tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse protesters in Siyazan.
The demonstrators were angry at worsening economic conditions sparked by the fall in the price of oil.
Azerbaijan's economy is heavily dependent on oil. Nearly half its GDP in 2014 came from the oil sector.
Oil prices have slumped by 70% in the past 15 months, down to $31 a barrel on international markets.
Azerbaijan's currency, the manat, has also fallen dramatically in value.
The interior ministry said the protests were organised by the opposition and religious extremists.
The government has ordered a cut in the price of flour in response to the crisis, effective from Friday, according to Reuters news agency.
VAT was being waived on wheat imports and the sale of bread and flour, it said.
In a further move to prop up the faltering manat, Azerbaijan's central bank has banned the sale of foreign exchange in bureaux de change run by commercial banks, Reuters adds.
Azerbaijan's economy, heavily dependent on oil revenue, has been shaken by decreasing oil prices on the world markets. Small businesses have suffered enormously in recent years because of bribes allegedly demanded by officials. Corruption has been a major hurdle for businesses in Azerbaijan, according to the International Monetary Fund.
Azerbaijan's local currency, the manat, was almost equal to the euro at the start of last year but was devalued against the dollar in February 2015.
In December 2015 the Central Bank unpegged the manat from the dollar, and an immediate price hike followed. This heavily affected low-income families. Many others with large bank loans suffered too.
Azerbaijan imports even most of the basic consumer goods and, although some agricultural products are produced locally, raw materials for their production are brought in from abroad.
Despite recurrent warnings from international and local analysts about the expected effects of oil dependency, the Azerbaijani government has done very little to improve other industries.
In a country where media are under strict control, critical voices are met with force.
Discontent was relatively low during the oil boom, but now the volatile currency means that price increases affect almost everyone.
And as the range of people who suffer increases, it may prove difficult for the government to appease the wider public.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average edged down 2.95 points to 18,352.05.
The S&P 500 moved just 0.46 points up to 2,164.25, while the tech-rich Nasdaq climbed 6.51 points to 5,166.25.
US investors appeared mostly unmoved by the Bank of England's decision to cut interest rates for the first time in seven years.
In the US a run of strong economic data, including Wednesday's private sector hiring numbers, could strengthen the case for the US Federal Reserve to raise interest rates when it meets in September.
However, investors are waiting to see what the official monthly jobs data will reveal. Many expect slower employment growth in July than the previous month.
"There is a little bit of order being restored in the market today, but [it] is in a wait-and-see period ahead of the jobs report," said Adam Sarhan, chief executive officer at Sarhan Capital.

MetLife was the biggest drag on the S&P 500. Shares tumbled 8.7% after the insurance firm missed earnings expectations.
Patrick Rock, 64, who worked as deputy director of policy at Downing Street, denies all 20 charges against him.
Mr Rock, of Fulham, south-west London, admits downloading 20 separate images of nine young girls in 2013, but denies they are indecent.
At the time of the downloading, all but one of the girls was aged 14 or under.
The prosecution argued the images showed girls, although not naked, in "sexual" poses that drew attention to their genital and breast areas, and asked the jury to decide if each image, when looked at separately, was indecent.
The jury was shown the images, which featured girls aged 10 to 16, posing in clothing including bikinis, hot pants and a bra, and a ballet tutu.
Prosecutor Thomas Forster told the jury at Southwark Crown Court that because the ages of the girls were given at the time of downloading, they must have been younger when the photographs were taken.
Mr Forster said: "The clothing the children are wearing is sometimes adult in style - indeed what an adult might consider sexualised or erotic clothing.
"The child is photographed in a pose that is deliberately sexual in tone, because they are scantily clad and/or their legs are often apart and/or they are showing their bottoms to the camera."
Sasha Wass QC, defending, said her client is a man of good character and asked the jury to consider the charges in the context of modern society.
She said the photos contained no nudity and described the girls in the photographs as models, saying: "Think swimwear models in catalogues".
Ms Wass also referred to some of the images as being comparable to the poses seen in the video for Britney Spears' song Baby One More Time, adding that the singer was under 16 at the time.
Ms Wass said some men "would rather look at a fresh-faced teenager than a woman their own age".
She went on to talk about what she described as author Lewis Carroll's fixation with 10-year-old Alice Liddell, his inspiration for Alice in Wonderland.
Ms Wass said "there was no suggestion that Patrick Rock ever paid to view these images" and that "all that he did was looking and clicking".
She added that we lived in a society where there was "an allure that is youth", saying: "Before deciding that a man of 64 with no criminal convictions should be convicted as a criminal, you might want to bring to mind other images of young girls that are freely available."
Ms Wass added that there seemed to be an "element of madness that is allowed to dictate what is considered to be decent".
Judge Alistair McCreath told the jurors they would have to decide whether the images were indecent in the eyes of an average member of society, rather than basing their decisions on their own personal views.
He said: "The word 'indecent' has no particular legal meaning.
"At one end is the downright obscene and at the other is that which is distasteful. Somewhere in between is that which is indecent. Indecent is against the law, bad taste is not."
The jury has been sent home for the day and will continue its deliberations on Wednesday.
The rain began on Saturday bringing flooding to parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan provinces.
Pre-monsoon rains often cause damage in rural Pakistan and officials said locals had been warned to leave their villages for safer places.
The summer monsoon season is even worse, last year killing dozens.
The weekend's rains also saw dozens of people taken to hospital with injuries, a national disaster management official, Latif ur Rehman, told the Associated Press.
Pictures showed shops and homes damaged, and bridges swept away.
Habib Khan, from northern Swat valley, told local TV: "We're left on our own. Nobody from the government is coming to help us."
Officials said tents and other relief goods had been sent to the region. Hundreds of people have also moved to safer areas, local media reports.
A procession will be held in the capital, Abuja, with 219 girls taking part to represent each missing girl.
The abduction of the girls in Chibok in north-eastern Nigeria sparked global outrage, with nations such as the US and China promising to help find them.
There have been reported sightings of the girls, but none has been found.
Boko Haram say the girls have converted to Islam and been married off. One witness told the BBC that she saw more than 50 of them alive three weeks ago in the north-eastern town of Gwoza.
Analysis: Will Ross, BBC Nigeria correspondent
It has been a whole year of agony for the relatives of the missing 219 Chibok girls. There have been a few sightings of some of the abducted students but very little official information from a government that has long promised to rescue them from the clutches of Boko Haram.
One mother told the BBC she sometimes arranges her 19-year-old daughter's clothes in the hope that she is about to return home.
The scale of this conflict is so grim that the Chibok girls represent just a fraction of those seized by the jihadists. Many have escaped partly thanks to a recent military offensive - but not the Chibok girls.
Turning the tide against Boko Haram?
Who are the militants?
High-profile figures such as Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai and US First Lady Michelle Obama were among those who drew attention to their plight on Twitter last year under the #BringBackOurGirls hashtag.
Since then, campaigners have criticised the Nigerian government of outgoing President Goodluck Jonathan for not doing enough to find the girls and combat the six-year Boko Haram insurgency in the north, in which thousands of people have been killed.
And Amnesty International say the militants have abducted 2,000 girls and women since the start of last year, becoming cooks, sex slaves and fighters.
Nigeria's incoming president, Muhammadu Buhari, has promised to "crush" the insurgents and said his government would "do everything in its power to bring them home".
However, he added: "As much as I wish to, I cannot promise that we can find them."
In a video message to a global gathering in Edinburgh, the Prince of Wales warned of a failure to "run the global bank that we call our planet in a responsible and competent manner".
He urged delegates to "act now before it is too late".
The Prince was speaking at the World Forum on Natural Capital.
"I think there is an urgent need for collaboration, sharing of knowledge and a drive to do things differently," he added.
Speaking as patron of the Scottish Wildlife Trust, which organised the two-day event, Prince Charles said: "The value of the planet's ecosystems and biodiversity has not been taken into account fully and consistently in our decision-making systems.
"We are facing what can only be described as a cataclysm of events which pose a real threat to our survival."
Natural capital describes the planet's stocks of natural assets, such as soil, air, water and all living things.
Numerous high-profile reports and studies have identified the range of vital services the natural world provides, such as clean air and clean water.
However, these stocks are being depleted at an unsustainable rate and the situation is set to worsen amid a growing global population and projected climate change.
The forum's co-founder and chief executive of the Scottish Wildlife Trust, Jonathan Hughes, observed: "This is not just an ecological tragedy but it is a social and economic tragedy as well.
He added one of the motivations for organising the forum, the second of its kind, was to raise awareness of the issues and challenges facing natural resources and wildlife.
"Secondly, we wanted business and governments to act quickly so we wanted to turn the debate around the concept of natural capital into practical tools that business and governments can implement and make a difference that traditional nature conservation has failed to do over the past 50 years," Mr Hughes told BBC News.
The opening address to 500 delegates from more than 40 nations was delivered by Scotland's First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon.
She said it was not a surprise the there was a growing interest around the globe in the concept of natural capital.
She said: "This year, more than any other, exemplifies why that is of such profound importance.
"Over the summer… Scotland became one of the first countries in the world to publicly pledge to Implement the (United Nations) global goals on sustainable development.
"The goals set out a plan of action for people and the planet,' Ms Sturgeon observed.
"They start from the premise, the right premise in my point of view, that irradiating poverty in all of its forms… is an indispensable requirement for sustainable development.
"Protecting the resources that we all depend on is a crucial part of that."
However, she did acknowledge that there were a "range of views around the valuation of natural capital and the involvement of business".
In the build-up to the event, some environmental campaigners accused the organisers of the forum of helping a number of big companies with a history of environmental pollution to "profit from greenwash".
Mr Hughes told BBC News that there was a place within the environmental movement for "placards and banners but the movement also needs to be prepared to work constructively with government and business".
"Scottish Wildlife Trust likes to focus on solutions," he added.
"Only through working with business and governments and making them part of the solutions can we expect to tackle some of the critical challenges facing us."
Many of the speakers made the link between natural capital and climate change, particularly the forthcoming key UN summit in Paris.
Inger Andersen, director-general of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), told delegates: "On the eve of, potentially, the single largest agreement in Paris, we all have to remind ourselves what is at stake.
"I want to remind you that even with the two degree limit, which will be very hard to reach, that will have very severe impacts on our planet and our ecosystems.
"The story of how we deal with natural capital becomes all the more important. Natural Capital is our single, greatest ally as we try to defend vulnerable communities from the onslaught of more frequent storms, flood and drought."
Delegates were being invited to sign a letter that called on world leaders attending the Paris summit to recognise that tackling climate change could not be achieved unless the loss of the world's natural capital was halted.
"What we are saying is protection of that natural capital is a prerequisite for tackling the climate crisis," Jonathan Hughes explained.
"The Intended Nationally Determined Contributions, which the governments from around the world are taking to Paris, [reveal that] a lot of the emissions are from land-use change and land-use degradation.
"So we cannot solve the climate crisis without solving the biodiversity crisis."
The former UK prime minister will join the European Council on Tolerance and Reconciliation, which has campaigned for tougher laws on extremism.
Mr Blair is standing down this month as the Middle East envoy representing the US, Russia, the UN and the EU.
He will not be paid in his new role, but his faith foundation will reportedly receive an annual donation.
The ECTR describes itself as an "opinion-making and advisory body".
It has called on European countries to bring in legislation creating clearer definitions of racism and anti-Semitism, boost educational programmes and make Holocaust denial a criminal offence.
The organisation also wants governments to provide security at synagogues and Jewish schools.
Writing in the Times (behind a paywall), Mr Blair and Moshe Kantor, a Russian-born businessman who co-founded the ECTR in 2008, said Europe was facing "dangerous times".
They said "economic decline fuels instability", noting that the only three times in the past 100 years when the annual GDP growth in Europe went below 1% was just before World War One and World War Two and last year.
Mr Blair and Mr Kantor, who is also President of the European Jewish Congress, highlighted a report on global anti-Semitic incidents by the Kantor Centre at Tel Aviv University, which found last year was one of the worst years in the past decade.
"Prejudice and racism often start with the softest targets, be it Jews or others, but it never ends there," they wrote.
"Anti-Semitism is not a Jewish problem, but one infecting the whole of society and needs to be tackled for the sake of us all.
"It is our firm belief that it is not religion or faith per se that causes or foments conflict," they added.
"It is the abuse of religion which then becomes a mask behind which those bent on death and destruction all too often hide."
They cited the Northern Ireland peace process, which Mr Blair was involved in, as a "prime example" of where lessons can be learnt.
"Globalisation is pushing us closer together so the effects of racism and discrimination increasingly undermine the fabric of society... states, international organisations and other actors must join together to tackle hate and intolerance."
The Board of Deputies of British Jews welcomed Mr Blair's appointment.
Senior Vice President Richard Verber said Mr Blair has "proved himself a good friend of the Jewish community" and was "well-placed to bring his experience to the fight against anti-Semitism and intolerance".
The National Secular Society said the proposal to make Holocaust denial a criminal offence would "undermine the West's defence of freedom of speech".
"Politicians have already called for the outlawing of Islamophobia, playing into the hands of those intent on closing down honest debate about and within Islam," the society's executive director Keith Porteous Wood said.
He added that imposing mandatory security at all synagogues and Jewish schools was "disproportionate".
Mr Blair, who was UK prime minister from 1997 to 2007, is taking over from former Polish president Aleksander Kwasniewski as chairman of the ECTR.
He will head a board that includes former Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar and ex-Swedish PM Goran Persson.
His decision to quit as Middle East peace envoy was announced in May.
Sources said, however, that Mr Blair would "remain active" in the region in an informal role and was "fully committed to assisting the international community in its work with Israel and the Palestinians to bring about progress on the two-state solution".
The former Rangers winger has been training at Rugby Park this week having worked under Clark at Birmingham City.
"It would be a fantastic way to finish the transfer window," Clark said.
"I think it's a very long shot, but you live in hope. You never know in this game and we'll see what we can do."
Media playback is not supported on this device
Speaking after his side's 1-1 draw with Rangers, Clark said Burke's influence on the young players in his squad has been evident this week.
"I had him at Birmingham. I made him captain for a few games," the Killie boss told BBC Scotland.
"He's a terrific pro, fantastic to have around the place, a great example to the young players I have, to show what it takes to become a top player, which he is.
"It would be difficult (to sign him) but I would love it to happen."
Clark was pleased with his side's performance against Rangers, which saw them withstand a late onslaught with 10 men following Greg Taylor's red card for a wild lunge on Joey Barton shortly after James Tavernier had cancelled out Kris Boyd's opener.
"It feels like a very good performance. I thought we were excellent," Clark continued.
"When you go down to 10 men against a team like Rangers, who pass it and rotate around the pitch the way they do with the quality they have, for us to stay in the game, we have only been pegged back by a world-class free-kick.
"I thought we were real value for our lead at half-time and I just thought the performance was very, very good.
"I've said to them that that's the standard for our performance level. We have to be ready to repeat that once the games come back after the international break.
"Remember we've won a game. Some teams in the league haven't won a game. We have to knock the negativity around this football club on its head.
"It's not doom and gloom in our dressing room that seems to be circulating on the outside."
Until now, Facewatch has provided local groups of businesses with a way to share their CCTV images of shoplifters and other potential offenders.
It is now giving shops the ability to generate alerts if a face recognition system matches individuals in the shared pictures to customers in their stores, as the BBC PM programme's Chris Vallance reports.
As we descend the steps into the wine bar he runs, Simon Gordon tells me how he thinks technology can help tackle High Street crime.
As well as running the bar, Simon is the founder of Facewatch, a system that helps businesses locally create and share watch lists - for example, pictures of shoplifters or known bag thieves.
The scheme, which has more than 10,000 premises registered, also helps businesses quickly upload camera footage to the police. The 13th police force has just "come on board", Simon tells me.
At present, spotting a dubious customer on a watch list relies on vigilant staff, but Facewatch, Simon says, is now testing using face-recognition camera systems.
Simon is demonstrating a face-recognition system in an office next to his bar.
The system happily finds the faces of everyone who passes, but a little white box jitters around my face.
"You're invisible," Simon says. I start pondering a crime spree.
We later discover my thick-rimmed glasses are the problem. It's something easily fixed by adjusting the system settings, Simon tells me.
In the past, the system has protected the wine bar from bag thieves. Now the thieves are gone, and it's only loaded with sample images used to demonstrate face-recognition technology.
Simon's ambition is to enable Facewatch to integrate with all the major face-recognition camera systems.
"What you can do now is link your face-recognition system to Facewatch and it will pull down the watch list that's relevant for your premises and your group," he says.
"Then, if someone walks into your premises, it will send you an alert."
Tests are already under way in a small number of shops. Most just use sample images taken from business employees.
"It's live in test sites, but it's not in widespread operation yet," Simon says.
Simon thinks face recognition could help prevent crime before it happens. "I know that sounds a bit like Minority Report but it is possible," he says.
A pre-emptive "Can I help you sir?" may forestall a crime, but Renata Samson, of the privacy campaign group Big Brother Watch, is wary.
"The idea that pre-crime can be stopped is a worry, aren't we all innocent until proven guilty?" she says.
I ask Simon if there is a risk of "blacklisting".
"The people who are on the list are not guilty until they've been prosecuted and taken to court, and the system makes that very clear", Simon says - and under the Data Protection Act "if anyone misuses that data there are very significant fines".
Simon is also sanguine about the risk of misidentification. Images from the watch list will be sent with alerts so staff can check that there's a good match, he says.
It's not just High Street businesses testing face-recognition camera systems.
At the Download music festival in Donington Park, Leicestershire, police used cameras connected to NEC's NeoFace system to scan music fans entering the arena to see if their faces matched a specially created database of criminals known to target festivals.
It sparked controversy and an angry on-stage protest from the band Muse, who accused police of "scanning our faces without telling us".
But Simon Cole, Leicestershire's Chief Constable, says the anger was based on a misunderstanding.
"Afterwards, there was lots of noise that we were storing images of people and we had 75,000 images... it just isn't how it works," he says.
Face-recognition camera systems should be used by police, he tells me.
"The technology's here, and we need to think about what is a proportionate response that respects people's privacy," he says.
Go shopping in Leicester, he says, and you'll be filmed by any number of CCTV cameras.
"If that checks that I'm a reasonably law abiding citizen, that doesn't bother me," he says.
Tony Porter, the surveillance camera commissioner, says a wider debate is needed.
He tells me: "The public need to ask themselves: do they want six million cameras painted red at head height looking at them?
"But good technology that is sited in the right location and is used by the police and agencies effectively is a good thing."
Police forces are already using face-recognition to identify people, much as they might with DNA or fingerprints.
A national police database contains up to 18 million "custody suite" photos - hundreds of thousands could be of innocent people.
The biometrics commissioner Alastair MacGregor has warned that image databases and face recognition could be used to track people's movements by "combining widespread CCTV and access to a huge searchable database of facial images".
Some forces are also learning that skilled humans can outperform computers in analysing pictures.
"Super-recognisers" - humans with a talent for spotting faces - manage "200 idents a week", Det Ch Insp Mick Neville, of the Metropolitan Police, tells me in an email.
But the computer manages just one a week "due to the quality, angle and lighting of CCTV images".
Facewatch's Simon Gordon knows about the work, but says computers will be more useful in live settings; a bar could hardly pay a super-recogniser to sit by the door all day. And human brains aren't exponentially increasing in power.
Simon says the price of systems is falling as their effectiveness increases, and face-detection cameras could soon be within every business's reach.
"Probably by the end of next year, it will be almost like having a mobile phone," he says.
Fellow forward Charlie Austin remains sidelined, while Virgil van Dijk is unlikely to play again this season.
Bournemouth will assess Ryan Fraser's hamstring problem, while Harry Arter and Junior Stanislas could return from respective calf and groin injuries.
Lys Mousset is also a doubt and Tyrone Mings is still suspended.
Adam Federici, Callum Wilson and Rhoys Wiggins remain out with knee injuries.
Simon Brotherton: "Bournemouth's recent upturn in form has eased fears of being drawn into the relegation scrap and means they go into this game level on points with Southampton.
"Eddie Howe's team could win three in a row for the first time in just over a year and, if they did, it would be a first ever win away to Saints.
"Interestingly, Bournemouth's three-match unbeaten run has coincided with Jack Wilshere dropping out of the starting line-up, costing him his England squad place.
"Meanwhile, two more Southampton players, Nathan Redmond and James Ward-Prowse, made their debuts for the Three Lions in the recent international break.
"Add in the under-21s, an impressive total of seven players were called up from St Mary's for England duty."
Twitter: @SimonBrotherton
Southampton manager Claude Puel: "We now have many players available for the team with good spirit. When I can't take an international in the team like Jordy Clasie, it's difficult for me for him to stay at home.
"It's always difficult to make a choice, but it's important for all the team to have the respect of the staff and all the players.
"They must keep a good attitude because we have many games [coming up]."
Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe: "We've never won at Southampton, so we want to create history this weekend.
"From our perspective, this weekend is a bit of a different game for us. We want to give our supporters something to shout about.
"We've been more consistent recently, but we know there's a long way to go and that we have a tough run of fixtures ahead."
Southampton turned Bournemouth over when they met earlier in the season but I don't think they will repeat that at St Mary's.
Local pride is at stake here and I can see Bournemouth putting up a decent fight and leaving with a point.

Ryan Reich, a 35-year-old American, and Greek national Stylianos Contogoulas, 45, were both freed in unanimous verdicts.
It was their second trial on a charge of conspiracy to defraud.
The first jury to hear their case failed to reach a verdict in July 2016, although four colleagues were jailed.
Jay Merchant was sentenced to six-and-a-half years, Peter Johnson and Jonathan Mathew were each jailed for four years, while Alex Pabon received two years and nine months. All four worked for Barclays.
The Serious Fraud Office (SFO) had accused Mr Reich and Mr Contogoulas of plotting with other Barclays staff between June 2005 and September 2007 to rig Libor.
Libor - the London interbank offered rate - plays a key role in the global financial system by setting a benchmark for rates on about $450 trillion of financial contracts and loans worldwide.
Libor: what is it and why does it matter?
In a statement issued by his lawyer, Roland Ellis, Mr Contogoulas thanked the jury after what he described as a "trying ordeal for the past seven years".
"He has consistently maintained his innocence of any crime and is gratified that today's verdict has vindicated him," Mr Ellis said.
"The decision by the SFO to seek a retrial of my client after the jury had failed to reach a verdict following a four-month trial in 2016 was regrettable. We made strong representations to them that it was not in the public interest to do so and that the prospects of a conviction were slim," the lawyer continued.
"Unfortunately they chose not to accede to those representations. The speed with which the jury reached their verdicts today would suggest that those representations had considerable merit."
SFO prosecutor Emma Deacon declined to comment. The SFO noted the acquittals in a brief statement.
Mr Reich said he was "relieved and delighted" to have been acquitted.
"This trial was the first time that any jury has actually been asked to consider whether as a matter of fact any trader deliberately broke the rules or caused false Libors to be submitted. They rapidly rejected the SFO's case," he said.
"There can be little doubt that, had the juries been properly directed in earlier trials, acquittals would similarly have resulted."
Mr Reich's lawyers said the jury heard evidence from senior managers at Barclays, who accepted that between 2005 and 2007 communications with the Libor submitter were permitted which created conflicts of interest, and that there was insufficient clarity and training as to what was and was not allowed.
"It is of real concern that the SFO has chosen to pursue Mr Reich and other junior traders for conduct that was widespread, tolerated and encouraged by senior figures in the industry at the time," they said.
The jury found both defendants not guilty within hours of being sent to consider their verdict.
Jonathan Pickworth, a lawyer at White & Case, which was not involved in the case, said the speedy acquittal "tells us all we need to know about what the jury thought of the prosecution case".
During the trial, the SFO's only banking industry expert admitted he had broken court rules by sending texts and emails to contacts, while giving evidence in court, to check he was answering basic questions correctly.
The Libor rigging scandal erupted in 2012, when Barclays was the first bank to be prosecuted with a £290m fine, which sparked the resignation of chief executive Bob Diamond.
Royal Bank of Scotland, UBS, Deutsche Bank and broker Icap were also heavily fined for attempting to manipulate the rate.
In August 2015, Tom Hayes became the first individual to be convicted in the Libor scandal and was sentenced to 14 years in prison - later reduced to 11 years.
Six other traders - Darrell Read, Noel Cryan, Danny Wilkinson, Colin Goodman, James Gilmour and Terry Farr - were accused of aiding Hayes but were found not guilty in January 2016.
Thursday's verdicts mark an end to the SFO's current Libor trials.
It has also charged five men and one woman with conspiracy to defraud in connection with an investigation into the setting of Euribor, a Brussels-based euro benchmark.
The six, who deny wrongdoing, are due to stand trial in September.
Almost 600 children disappeared last year, with more than 200 still missing, ECPAT UK and Missing People said.
The charities called on the UK government and local authorities to reform the child protection system.
The Department for Education said it had commissioned "specialist training" for those caring for the children.
The two charities collected the latest annual figures provided to them by more than 200 local authorities across the UK.
The study, which will be presented in parliament later, found 167 children - more than a quarter of all trafficked children in the UK care system - went missing at least once in the 12 months to September 2015.
It found some 593 unaccompanied children in the UK - 13% of the total number - also disappeared at least once.
Of those, 207 trafficked and unaccompanied children have not been found.
Charities say the figures reveal a "deeply concerning" inconsistency in identifying and recording information on vulnerable children.
They say the figures suggest the UK's child protection response was "inadequate" and the system has left children vulnerable to being trafficked again and open to abuse.
The report also found:
Chloe Setter, from ECPAT UK - which campaigns against child trafficking - said it was "a national disgrace" that the issue of vulnerable children going missing had "remained neglected".
The report had "unearthed an alarming trend of our most vulnerable children disappearing", she added.
"We must not accept this as a reality any longer. Every child that goes missing is a failure in our duty to protect them from harm," she said.
Susannah Drury, from Missing People, said trafficked and unaccompanied children were "especially vulnerable and in greater need of protection".
She said it was "vital" that trafficked or unaccompanied children who go missing are treated as "high risk by the police and other agencies and that finding them and making them safe is always prioritised over any questions about their immigration status or criminal activity".
A Local Government Association spokesman said councils "do all they can" to help identify and support children at risk, but he said the pressure on local services was growing.
"With increasing demand on the care system, both from children in the UK and from the hundreds of children expected to arrive over the next few weeks after the Calais camp clearance, and with councils expressing their concern about the funding available, the system continues to be under significant pressure," he added.
A Department for Education spokesman said it had "already strengthened" regulations on children's homes and local authorities now have "a duty to tell us about all incidents of young people going missing".
"But we know trafficked and unaccompanied asylum-seeking children are especially vulnerable.
"That's why we have commissioned specialist training for those caring for them, committed to an independent advocate in each area to help champion their rights and outlined clear plans for a new government strategy to look at their particular needs, including reviewing the accommodation available."
The occupants of six homes near the Tower Industrial Estate in Wrotham had to move out on Sunday evening.
The fire started at about 18:00 GMT with 10 fire appliances tackling the flames at its height.
Residents were advised to keep their windows and doors closed because some of the workshops were thought to have contained acetylene and asbestos.
Part of the A20 at Wrotham Heath had to be closed in both directions, as was the M20 eastbound slip road at junction two.
Firefighters were still at the scene on Monday morning, damping down hot spots.
A court heard that David Crammond, 28, kept the drugs and drug paraphernalia in his car as he lived at home and did not want his mother to find out.
Text messages found on his phone confirmed he was supplying the drug.
He admitted being concerned in the supply of cocaine at Broxden in Perth on 22 January.
Depute fiscal Carol Whyte told Perth Sheriff Court: "Police officers stopped the vehicle the accused was driving because of a faulty lamp.
"They thought they could smell cannabis so they detained the accused.
"During a search of the vehicle 30 snap bags, scales, a bag of white powder and a mobile phone were recovered."
Solicitor Paul Ralph, defending, said: "It is his position that he is the one who gets it and his pals are then benefiting from it at weekend get togethers.
"He has confessed to his parents.
"He understands the position he has put himself in and he has hopefully learned his lesson."
Police said they were called to a house in the hamlet of Vogue, near Redruth in Cornwall, just after midnight where a man was discovered with serious but not life-threatening injuries.
A 35-year-old man was later arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm, officers said.
He was in police custody, awaiting questioning, they added.
Councillors in Stirling voted to freeze the basic rate of council tax for another year.
Clackmannanshire councillors approved a 3% council tax rise during a budget meeting that saw the Labour administration resign.
The council tax will rise by 2.5% in Dundee, an increase of £30 a year for a Band D property.
Stirling residents whose homes are in property bands E, F, G or H will still see their bills rise as a result of national changes.
Perth and Kinross councillors voted for a 2% rise on Thursday.
The council tax will rise by 3% in Falkirk, an increase of £32 a year for a Band D property, following another vote on Thursday.
Scotland's 32 local authorities are deciding their council tax rates following a nine-year-long national council tax freeze.
The elections watchdog said it planned to introduce the change in time for the 2019 local government and European Parliament elections.
Although it has yet to confirm full details of the plan, it said it would be based on the Northern Ireland model, where voters already need photo ID.
Campaigners No2ID condemned the plan.
But Electoral Commission chairwoman Jenny Watson said most voters could use passports, driving licences or even public transport photocards to prove who they are at polling stations.
Those without any of these documents could request a free elections ID card, she added.
Ms Watson said: "Proven cases of electoral fraud are rare and, when it is committed, the perpetrators tend to be candidates or their supporters. Voters are the victims and sustained action is needed now to prevent fraud from taking place."
In June, individual voter registration for British elections is expected to come into force, requiring each member of a household to register to vote individually. Currently, the "head of the household" supplies details of other people living at the address.
Ms Watson told the BBC this meant "people who want to commit fraud will have to look at other places in the system that could be vulnerable", adding: "The most vulnerable of those is voting in person at polling stations, and that's why we're suggesting that people should bring ID."
In its report, Electoral Fraud in the UK, the commission concluded that electoral fraud had probably not been attempted in more than a "handful" of local authority wards.
But it said it would continue its research into concerns that some communities, "specifically those with roots in parts of Pakistan or Bangladesh", were particularly susceptible to the practice.
"People convicted of fraud come from a range of backgrounds including white British, South Asian and other European backgrounds. It would be a mistake to suggest that electoral fraud only takes place within specific South Asian communities," the commission said.
But it added: "The evidence and views we have heard raise significant questions about whether individuals within these communities are able effectively to exercise their right to vote, and whether they are able to participate in elections on the same basis as other electors across the UK.
"It is not acceptable to explain or excuse electoral fraud on the basis of actual or perceived differences in cultural approaches to democratic participation."
Sixteen local authority areas - all of them in England - were identified by the commission as being at greater risk.
Northern Ireland has had a requirement on voters to produce some proof of identity before casting their ballot since 1985.
"Nonetheless, the system was considered to be inadequate because of the ease with which identity documents could be falsified," the commission said.
In 2003, the rules in Northern Ireland changed, requiring voters to produce photographic, rather then just general, ID. This includes passports, driving licences and some public transport passes, which do not have to be in date, but must be of a "good enough likeness" to the voter.
People without any such documents can apply for a special ID card free of charge.
Since 2003, there have been no reported cases of voter impersonation in Northern Ireland and there was "little evidence of voters being turned away from the polling station for presenting an incorrect form of identification", the commission said.
"We gathered substantial evidence during our review that the lack of a requirement for ID [in England, Scotland and Wales] is both an actual and a perceived weakness in the system," the commission said.
But, it conceded, there would be increased costs with replicating the Northern Ireland scheme in the rest of the UK, including the cost of establishing a similar regime and public information campaigns reminding voters to bring ID with them to the polls.
The commission said additional measures to protect the integrity of the vote were needed before the next set of local and European elections in May, and proposed changes to the existing code of conduct for campaigners.
"Campaigners must no longer handle postal votes, or postal vote applications under any circumstances," Ms Watson explained.
"We should be able to achieve this through a strengthened code of conduct. But if we cannot, we will recommend that the law is changed."
But No2ID's Guy Herbert said: "It would be absurd for a government that scrapped the Home Office's centralised ID scheme to make presenting ID a requirement to vote.
"Does this quango get to change the face of our society? The idea is all cost and very little benefit. Holding official identity documents would become a requirement for democratic participation, registration effectively compulsory.
"The Electoral Commission's proposals would make it harder to vote, lower turnout, and inconvenience most those who are least likely to have or keep government-issued documents. And in effect it would revive a national identity system for everybody."
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg has signalled that he does not support the move, telling MPs on Tuesday that he thought the measures already being brought in would "stamp out the problems of fraud".
A Cabinet Office spokesman said: "The government takes the issue of electoral fraud very seriously and we thank the Electoral Commission for their work on this issue.
"We will consider the recommendations in this report carefully and respond in due course."
The council said funding would reduce from £70,000 this year to £50,000 next year and £30,000 in 2017-18.
The funding will be dependent on the garden improving its Welsh language usage and becoming more sustainable.
The garden said it was pleased the council had agreed to continue its support.
The council's executive board agreed in principle to a £50,000 grant for a regency landscape project - if a £6.7m heritage lottery bid is successful.
It said it wants to meet with Welsh government officials to discuss the level of support it provides.
The garden could work with the Mentrau Iaith project to become bilingual and look at further commercial ventures to draw in more visitors, councillors added.
Council leader Emlyn Dole said it needed change, direction and marketing.
Dr Rosie Plummer, the garden's director, welcomed the funding pledge towards the regency restoration project.
"We are pleased to hear, too, that councillors have agreed to continue to recognise the important contribution the garden makes to the area and to continue to support it," she added.
Buttler, 25, has already been granted permission by the England & Wales Cricket Board [ECB] to register for February's IPL auction.
This season's IPL starts on 8 April and ends with the final on 24 May.
"I put my name in the auction, and I'm desperate to play in that competition," he told BBC Radio 5 live.
"It's never quite so simple for us English players to get into the IPL, but I've got a window that has opened up, being out of the Test side, and hopefully a side will pick me up."
Buttler turned down the chance to play in the IPL two seasons ago, opting instead to play first-class cricket with Lancashire in a bid to break into the Test side following his move from Somerset.
The Lancashire wicketkeeper, who is centrally-contracted with England, could miss up to five of the Red Rose's County Championship Division One fixtures if he joins an IPL side that progresses all the way to the IPL final at Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
Buttler remains one of England's best limited-overs batsmen despite his struggles at Test level, and is likely to attract a sizeable fee in the IPL.
He was part of the Lancashire side that won the 2015 NatWest T20 Blast, hitting a match-winning 71 from 35 balls in a group match against Yorkshire at Headingley and a 37-ball 53 in the quarter-final against Kent at Canterbury.
In November, he broke his own record as the scorer of England's fastest one-day international century, when he smashed a 46-ball hundred against Pakistan in Dubai.
Buttler says a spell in the IPL is as much about improving himself as a player as improving his bank balance, citing the opportunity to play with the game's greatest stars as a factor in his decision.
"When you look at the money side of things as an English player, it's not quite as good as you think it is," he said.
"The experience you'll gain playing with the world's best players, where cricket is followed like football is in England - that can only be an amazing experience.
"To share dressing rooms with some of the best players in the world will improve your game in all three formats."
Buttler, who was dropped from the Test team in October after performing poorly in the first two matches against Pakistan, accepts that he will be out of the side for the foreseeable future but says he wants to be next in line should Bairstow lose his place.
"Yeah, it looks like that - Jonny's done really well, and it looks like he's cemented his place for a bit," he continued.
"That's fine, that's how it is, life will go on, I'll keep trying hard. We've got these one-dayers to look forward to, the Twenty 20s, and if the chance ever comes again, you want to make sure you're the next cab off the rank."
The quake hit in the early hours of Friday morning and was called a 6.7-magnitude quake.
On Kos, around 115 people were injured, and 2 people have died. Some buildings were damaged.
Turkey's health minister said 358 were hurt in the Turkish city of Bodrum, but none seriously.
He said the RAF strike that killed two British Islamic State jihadists was a "perfectly legal act of self defence".
There are "other terrorists" involved in "other plots that may come to fruition" in weeks or months, he said.
The father of two more Britons thought to be fighting in Syria has said he believes they are now on a "hit list".
A debate over the UK's use of drones has started after MPs were told that Cardiff-born Reyaad Khan, 21, had been killed in a precision strike in Raqqa on 21 August by a remotely piloted aircraft.
Ruhul Amin, 26, from Aberdeen, was also killed.
Another British fighter, Junaid Hussain, was killed by a US drone strike on 24 August and the BBC has seen evidence that suggests he was involved in an active plot against targets in the UK.
Hussain is said to have been involved in encrypted phone conversations with another British man - who cannot be named for legal reasons - who was allegedly at an advanced stage in planning an attack in the UK.
It is understood the plot was disrupted before Hussain was killed.
The RAF strike was the first targeted UK drone attack on a British citizen.
Mr Fallon said there had been "no other way" of stopping Khan, whom Prime Minister David Cameron accused on Monday of planning "barbaric" attacks on "high-profile public commemorations" in Britain.
"We wouldn't hesitate to take similar action again," Mr Fallon told BBC Radio 4's Today programme.
The defence secretary would not be drawn on whether the UK had a "hit list", but said: "There are a large number of individuals - not all British - out there in Syria at the moment who are actively involved in planning armed attacks here in Britain."
MPs rejected military action in Syria two years ago, but Mr Cameron said the attorney general had agreed there was a "clear legal basis" for the strike.
He said it had been approved at a meeting of "the most senior members" of the National Security Council and authorised by Mr Fallon.
The prime minister's official spokesman said the decision had been taken "some months ago".
The government has justified its decision to launch the strike under Article 51 of the United Nations charter, which says member states have an "inherent right of self-defence" if an armed attack is occurring or is believed to be imminent.
But acting Labour leader Harriet Harman and the SNP's Westminster leader Angus Robertson have called for the Intelligence and Security Committee (ISC) to investigate.
The ISC can summon intelligence chiefs to give evidence, but a new committee has not yet been appointed following the general election.
There have also been calls for the government to reveal details of the intelligence that prompted the strike, including from Labour leadership candidate Andy Burnham, who said it was "unacceptable" for ministers to say that they will not publish any further information.

Drone strikes are highly controversial.
Opponents of the policy say they are illegal, immoral and ultimately ineffectual.
They point to evidence that US-operated drone strikes in Pakistan and Yemen have killed hundreds of innocent civilians and generated so much anti-Western hatred in those countries that they end up recruiting more violent jihadists.
Many people also find something repellent about drone operators sitting safely in comfort in a base thousands of miles away from their unsuspecting target.
But proponents argue that drone strikes have been highly effective in disrupting terrorist operations, keeping their leaders constantly on the move and too busy to plan attacks.
Some officials even maintain that the constant targeting of jihadist operators in Pakistan's tribal territories with drone strikes has significantly contributed to preventing a repetition of the 7/7 London bombings.

In 2013, MPs rejected UK military action against President Bashar Assad's regime in Syria, but last September approved British participation in air strikes against IS targets in Iraq only.
But officials said the UK would "act immediately and explain to Parliament afterwards" if there was "a critical British national interest at stake".
Mr Fallon said a fresh Commons vote would be needed for pre-planned military action against IS in Syria.
The 23-year-old man handed himself in to police after he was caught on camera setting illegal pole traps on the Mossdale Estate, near Hawes, in May.
An RSPB spokesman praised the force's response but said "we simply do not understand the decision to issue a caution for such a serious case".
The force said it was "mindful" of the concerns and was reviewing the case.
Three of the traps - which were outlawed in 1904 - were discovered by a member of the public on 6 May and reported to the RSPB.
The charity said they had been found in an area where a hen harrier had been spotted earlier the same day.
Bob Elliot, head of RSPB Investigations, said: "These are dreadful, barbaric devices and have no place in the 21st century.
"The sighting of a hen harrier in the immediate area is of particular concern.
"This species is nearly extinct as a breeding species in England and it last bred successfully in North Yorkshire in 2007."
He said the charity would be writing to the police and seeking an explanation.
A North Yorkshire Police spokesman said all options, including prosecution, were considered and a caution was deemed the "most appropriate course of action".
The vehicle was taken after the children's mother left the car in Kempe Road, Enfield, on 2 July.
A girl, 12, managed to get out of the vehicle as the suspect drove off. The baby was found later on a doorstep in Cheshunt.
The car was later found abandoned nearby. A 19-year-old has been arrested on suspicion of kidnap and theft.
The simulation of a terror attack has been six months in the planning.
The exercise - codenamed Strong Tower - involves 1,000 police officers at locations across the capital until Wednesday afternoon.
Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe said it would test responses to extremists using firearms.
It comes days after 38 people were killed by a gunman in Tunisia, the majority of them British holidaymakers.
The Metropolitan Police says this week's exercise in London is not based on any specific intelligence and is part of a long-term strategy of planning and preparing for all possible types of terror attack.
Scotland Yard began planning the two-day event in January and only a dozen people know the full script to ensure that the officers and other services taking part face the maximum challenge.
Senior officers say that while much of the exercise will be hidden from view, there may be occasions when the public hear loud noises or see areas being cordoned off. Scotland Yard will be posting updates about the exercise to Twitter, using the hashtag #999exercise.
Sir Bernard said the threat level for terrorism had been raised over the last year, making it vital "that we train and we learn".
He said: "The reason we have exercises like today is because, obviously, we are concerned there are people planning terrorist events. We intend first of all to stop them from getting to attack. But should we not stop the terrorists in their planning, it's essential we disrupt them in any of the attacks that may take place."
Ch Supt Paul Rickett told the BBC it was "incredibly important" that the emergency services were prepared for this type of scenario.
"Events have told us around the world that the last thing you can be is complacent, so that is why it is important we continually respond to the emerging threat, change our tactics and we test our capability and readiness to respond," he said.

Although the nature of this "live play" exercise sounds similar to the attack in Tunisia, this event has been six months in the planning and is part of a regular programme.
The officers who came on shift this morning knew they were taking part in an exercise - but nothing about what they would be facing. Not even the "gold commander", the senior officer making the big decisions in the operations room, will know what's going to happen.
The exercise is influenced by what happened during two incidents: the Charlie Hebdo attack in Paris and the cafe siege in Sydney.
Scotland Yard stresses that whatever happens during this exercise, it doesn't mean they have specific intelligence that such an event could occur. But they do want to ensure they have planned for every conceivable type of incident in case it should ever come to pass.
How safe is the UK a decade after 7/7?
Deputy Assistant Commissioner Maxine de Brunner, the exercise's director, said the aim was to test and challenge police and other agencies in an "ambitious multi-site marauding terrorist attack".
"This exercise will be an on-going fast-paced terrorist situation and we will explore how we as London's agencies respond," said DAC de Brunner.
"The exercise is at the extreme end of what might happen."
Emergency services are under a legal duty to test their preparedness for all manner of crises from terrorism attacks to flooding.
Many counter-terrorism training exercises take place out of view around the country and the last comparable exercise of this nature was in London in 2012.
In that exercise, the Metropolitan Police and others tested how they would respond to an attack on the London Underground involving a possible radiological or chemical device.
But while Tuesday and Wednesday's exercise is likely to involve comparable numbers of people, it has been designed to stretch them much further by moving the incident around the city - although nobody other than the directors know exactly what is going to happen.
The agencies involved in the operation include the police, London Fire Brigade, London Ambulance Service, Transport For London, the NHS and a string of government departments who will face tests of their decision-making and crisis-management skills. | Plaid Cymru is expected to lead Anglesey council, after nominations for the post of leader closed with only one nomination.

The teenager was taken into custody following a police raid at his home in Croxteth, Liverpool, at 07:30 BST.
Detectives are investigating allegations that someone illegally accessed an Instagram account before attempting to blackmail its owner.
An online shopping account was also allegedly accessed in order to buy and steal goods.
Computer equipment and other electronic devices were seized at the house, and the boy was taken into custody for questioning.
Det Ch Supt Chris Green, head of Titan, the North West's organised crime unit, said: "Cyber-crime is increasingly common with criminals turning to the internet to commit the same kinds of offences as traditionally would be committed in the real world such as theft, blackmail and fraud.

The Liberal MP, who died in 2010, was held during a 1980s probe into alleged sex parties with teenage boys in south London, a source told the programme.
The source said Smith was released from a police station within hours.
The Met is looking into the handling of historical child sex abuse cases.
The force would not comment on the details of the allegations about Smith put to them by Newsnight.
A spokesman said it was "investigating allegations that police officers acted inappropriately in relation to non-recent child abuse investigations" however, and asked for anyone with information to come forward.
An independent, panel-led inquiry has also been set up by Home Secretary Theresa May to consider whether public bodies and other institutions failed in their duty to protect children.
Information has been passed to Newsnight by a former officer, who is familiar with the original investigation and its closure.
The order to scrap the inquiry, made after Smith and others had been arrested, came from a senior officer whom the undercover team had never met before, the source said.
Officers were then ordered to hand over all their evidence - including notebooks and video footage - and were warned to keep quiet about the investigation or face prosecution under the Official Secrets Act, the source claims.
He said the intelligence-led operation started in 1981 involving a team of undercover regional crime squad officers, including some from Yorkshire who were based in London for the secret inquiry.
The detectives were stationed at Gilmour House, a large police headquarters building in Kennington, south London.
The source said the team targeted six or more addresses in the south of the capital. One focus was a flat in Coronation Buildings, Lambeth - a run-down tenement block less than a mile from the House of Commons.
During a three-month inquiry, officers working in shifts gathered a substantial amount of evidence of men abusing boys aged about 14, the source said.
That evidence included pictures and video taken from inside the flat, as a hidden camera had been installed with the help of a caretaker.
Smith is said to have been one of those caught on camera, another being a senior member of Britain's intelligence agencies.
According to the source, Smith was later seized at a property in Streatham, south London, where he had reportedly been taking part in a sex party with teenage boys.
He said Smith was taken to the former Canon Row police station - which is opposite the House of Commons.
But he was released that night and a duty sergeant who wanted to keep him in custody was reprimanded, the source says.
The BBC has been told that as well as Smith and the member of the intelligence agencies, the undercover team also had evidence on two senior police officers.
The squad believed that boys from care homes were being provided "to order" for sex parties, but the inquiry was abruptly shelved, the source said.
The team was called together at Gilmour House and told by a senior officer - whom they had never met before - to hand over their notebooks, photographs and video footage.
They were read passages from the Official Secrets Act to deter them from speaking out, according to the source.
There was a row at the police building but the inquiry was closed and officers were assured Smith "would not be playing a role in public life any more". In fact, he continued as MP for Rochdale until 1992.
Newsnight's source spoke to the programme through an intermediary and is fearful of repercussions because of the scale of the alleged cover-up.
The BBC first approached the Met about the claims in January, but the force has refused to be drawn into providing details on any live inquiry.
Roy Ramm, Commander of Specialist Operations at Scotland Yard told BBC Radio 4's Today programme it was understandable that officers involved had not come forward before.
"Don't underestimate the weight of a threat to your career and to your livelihood if someone says to you 'If you speak about this, you will lose you job'," he said.
He said the publicity may now bring other officers forward but added that the threat of the Official Secrets Act "must be removed" in order to get more information.
Labour MP Simon Danczuk, who has worked to expose Cyril Smith as a prolific paedophile, said police sources were scared to come forward.
He tweeted that officers needed a "cast-iron guarantee they can give evidence without fear."
He said: "It is my view that Smith was being protected and being protected by some fairly powerful people.
"He was protected because he knew of other paedophiles in the networks in which he operated and had he been prosecuted, then I think those other people would have been named by Smith and that's why they ensured that he was never put before the courts."
Newsnight asked former Scotland Yard detective Clive Driscoll, who investigated claims of child abuse in Lambeth in the 1980s and 1990s, to examine the allegations.
"I looked at them as I probably would have done when I was a police officer and, on the balance of probabilities, you would have to say they appear very credible," said Mr Driscoll, the officer whose inquiry led to the conviction of Stephen Lawrence's killers.
"Certainly the timing and the type of allegations that are made are ones that the Met would take very, very seriously."
He described the claims as "very credible and very frightening".
"If you take all of the information that appears to be out there together it does look like collusion with police officers and other agencies to prevent what is a straightforward criminal case," he added.

They say EU citizens who contribute to the UK economy should not be forced to live "under a cloud of uncertainty".
Members of the Exiting the EU committee also want healthcare and pension rights for UK expats living overseas.
The government says it wants to guarantee the rights of EU citizens and British nationals "as early as we can".
Last week peers defied ministers by 358 votes to 256 to guarantee the rights of EU nationals living in the UK after Brexit - a move the government will seek to overturn when its Brexit Bill returns to the House of Commons.
Theresa May says she plans to trigger Article 50 - which kick-starts the formal process for the UK leaving the EU - by the end of this month.
But Hilary Benn, the Exiting the EU committee's Labour chairman, said it was wrong to use EU and British citizens as "bargaining chips".
"EU citizens who have come to live and work here have contributed enormously to the economic and cultural life of the UK," he said.
"They have worked hard, paid their taxes, integrated, raised families and put down roots.
"They did not have a vote in the referendum, but the result has left them living under a cloud of uncertainty.
"They are understandably concerned about their right to remain, and their future rights to access education and healthcare.
"Equally, Brits who live and work on the continent are worried about their right to work and access healthcare after Brexit...
"Although the government has said it wants EU citizens to be able to remain, this has not offered sufficient reassurance that the rights and status that they have enjoyed will be guaranteed - it should now do so."
In their report, 'The rights of UK and EU citizens', MPs urge all parties to the negotiations to make the resolution of the rights of all EU citizens in the UK, and UK citizens in the EU, their first priority.
The MPs argued "it would be unconscionable" for both sides "not to have clarity about their status for another two years".
"The government has made it clear it wants an early agreement to protect the rights of EU nationals in the UK, and of UK nationals living in other member states.
"The committee commend its commitment to this outcome - it is regrettable that this has not yet proved possible."
Ministers have said it would be "unwise" to fully "guarantee" EU citizens' rights without a deal for Britons abroad.
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".
The Exiting the EU committee report said the government needs to work out how to identify the estimated three million EU citizens who reply upon free movement as a basis for their right to remain.
It also argued that ministers will need to set a cut-off date for EU citizens arriving in the UK, adding: "Those who arrive before this date should retain the right to qualify for permanent residence after they have been here for five years.
"The government should decide and announce a date as soon as possible."
The MPs also called on the government to streamline the permanent residence system for EU nationals, describing it as "not fit for purpose", with applicants having to fill in an 85 page form "that is to complex and onerous to be used to clarify the status of up to three million people".
They warned that an abrupt reduction in the number of EU workers in the UK post Brexit "would cause disruption in a number of sectors".
"The government needs to take steps to train, or further incentivise training, to ensure that skilled workers are available to fill jobs in sectors currently featuring a large number of EU nationals," they said.
The committee also agreed there was a case for the UK to state during negotiations that it might be prepared to prioritise EU citizens in its future immigration policy - although former Conservative minister Peter Lilley dissented from this view.

Individual customers at Barclays, RBS, Lloyds Banking Group and Tesco Bank cannot currently buy or sell riyals.
Qatar is isolated by its neighbours, who accuse it of backing terrorism.
Its central bank says it will guarantee all transactions for customers inside and outside the country. It also told the Reuters news agency that all banks and foreign exchange companies are committed to trading riyals as usual.
In early June, Qatar's Gulf neighbours Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain and Egypt ceased air, sea and land links with the country, which has been accused of funding terrorism. Qatar denies the claim.
The cutting of diplomatic ties by Qatar's neighbours has prompted wide fluctuations in the value of the country's currency.
A spokeswoman for Barclays said: "In common with other banks, Barclays' high street foreign exchange service is supplied by a third party, which has stopped providing the Qatari riyal.
"Unfortunately, we are therefore currently unable to buy the Riyal from or sell it to our retail customers."
A spokeswoman for Lloyds Banking Group also said that a "third-party supplier" which carries out its foreign exchange service had ceased trading Qatar riyals from 21 June.
She said: "This currency is no longer available for sale or buy-back across our high street banks including Lloyds Bank, Bank of Scotland and Halifax."
HSBC was unavailable for comment on its current position. Reuters reported that the Post Office had stopped buying and selling the currency earlier this month.
Currency supplier Travelex said trading in riyals had been suspended in some markets due to "business challenges".
But it added: "Travelex is pleased to announce it has resumed purchasing Qatar riyal globally."
The 210-room hotel, will include a top-floor bar with panoramic 360 degree views, according to plans drawn up by architects Jestico + Whiles.
It is part of the £850m development which is to replace the St James Centre at the east end of Princes Street.
Work is due to start on the development by the end of the year.
The site, which is to have luxury apartments, 30 restaurants and a multi-screen cinema, is due to be completed in 2020.
Heinz Richardson, director of Jestico + Whiles, said: "We are thrilled to have been selected by TH Real Estate to be part of one of the biggest and most exciting regeneration projects currently under way in the UK.
"The contemporary design will be sympathetic to the surrounding World Heritage site and its history, providing a first-class destination for Edinburgh at the heart of the city's new retail quarter."
Martin Perry, director of development TIAA Henderson Real Estate, which appointed Jestico + Whiles, said: "Jestico + Whiles has a well-deserved reputation for its excellent work on a number of prestigious hotel and leisure facilities throughout the world.
"The team demonstrated a thorough understanding and imagination for what we would like to achieve for Edinburgh St James which was reflected in their proposals.
"The final hotel design is likely to be influenced by the operator and given Edinburgh is continuing to prove a highly attractive destination with a growing tourist economy and strong finance market, we are encouraged by the response we have received from interested parties so far."
Services between London, the West of England and Wales were affected earlier this month by a 48-hour strike.
One of the proposed changes is to replace buffet cars with an "upgraded trolley service".
The #savethebuffet Facebook group was set up by Steve Blair who said he would miss the social element of the buffet.
FGW spokesman Dan Panes said current trains offered either a buffet car or smaller, more limited service with a microwave.
He said new Hitachi trains would have one or two kitchens for hot and cold food on journeys over an hour.
The changes are set to affect services between Paddington and Wales, and Paddington and the North Cotswolds, when 110 new trains are brought in.
Mr Blair, from Didcot, Oxfordshire, has been a commuter for eight years and has gained more than 2,000 followers for the campaign online.
He said buffet cars were "a way of networking with people, a real way to make new friends and acquaintances".
Mr Panes said buffet cars took up the space of 50 seats.
Subject to union agreement, he said passengers may be able to order from their seats.
"We also want to upgrade the trolley significantly with areas to keep hot food hot and cold food cold, and with fresh coffee machines," he said.
He added there would be no job losses and at least 100 new roles created as a result of the changes.
The first Hitachi trains will run on the Great Western main line from 2017 and the East Coast main line from 2018.
The new trains are being introduced under the Intercity Express Programme (IEP) on routes between London Paddington and Oxford, Bristol and South Wales.
Speaking to BBC Newsnight, Ian Acheson admitted the suggestion was "radical" and "controversial" but said "the risks of doing nothing are simply too high".
Mr Acheson said there was a danger a staff member could be murdered.
Earlier, the president of the Prison Governors Association published a damning open letter on the state of prisons in England and Wales.
There has been serious violence in prisons in Wiltshire and Hertfordshire in recent days - with riot-trained staff called into the latter earlier this week to restore order.
"There is a systemic and widespread instability in prisons and unless it is tackled, I really do fear that we're going to see a member of staff killed on duty," Mr Acheson told BBC Newsnight.
He said the justice secretary should consider an appeal to experienced staff who have recently left to return, creating a task force to "get back control" in the worst affected prisons.
"If that isn't sufficient, I would suggest that you need extra resources sent into prisons simply to stabilise them short term, and you could consider, for example, using the Army for that."
"It's a very radical measure. It's a controversial measure and it does carry some risk.
"But the risks of doing nothing are simply too high, in my view, to not at least consider - exceptionally and for a short period of time - getting resources onto the landings to restore order and control."
Mr Acheson, who last year led an independent review into Islamic extremism in prisons, lamented what he called the "normalisation of extreme violence".
He said self-harm, suicide, and serious assaults - particularly against staff - are all rising and are at levels that would have been "completely inconceivable" in the past.
Ministry of Justice (MoJ) figures showed a rise in violence in prisons, with 26,643 assaults in the year to March 2017.
Of these, a record 7,159 were attacks on staff - equivalent to 20 every day.
The MoJ insists action had been taken to increase prison officer numbers, but Mr Acheson said this needs to accelerated and that current staffing levels mean staff are "harried, fearful and cannot function effectively".
"There has to be some humility, frankly, from government to say, 'We made a catastrophic mistake here in reducing staff so far and so fast."
He said staff "need help now - not in six months' time" and warned the "consequences would be unthinkable" of not providing this extra support.
But the Director General of the National Offender Management Service and former Director General of HM Prison Service, Phil Wheatley, told Newsnight that sending in the Army would make things worse.
"The prison's ability to handle disorder when it occurs and end that disorder without injury to either staff or prisoner is quite considerable," he said.
"They're really skilled at doing it and they're succeeding in doing that. The army are not trained for that.
"To deploy them in that role would be folly."
Earlier on Wednesday, the president of the Prison Governors Association Andrea Albutt issued a scathing attack on the government's management of prisons in England and Wales.
She said governors had been left "devastated at the complete decline in our service" and that staff faced a "toxic mix" of pressures and an "unacceptable stress and anxiety".
She criticised a recent government reform that separated operational control of offenders from policy decisions as "perverse".
Widely used in refrigeration and air conditioning, the chemicals are playing a growing role in driving up global temperatures.
Mr Kerry urged representatives from almost 200 countries to finalise a deal that would rapidly phase them out.
Eliminating HFCs could curb warming by up to half of a degree by 2100.
The rise in the use of HFCs came about as a result of the Montreal Protocol. That landmark agreement, signed in 1987, eliminated the chloroflurocarbons (CFCs) that were enlarging the hole in the Earth's protective ozone layer.
As a replacement in hairsprays, fridges and air conditioning, HFCs worked wonderfully well. The only drawback is their global warming potential - up to 4,000 times greater than CO2. HFCs are playing a rapidly increasing role in pushing up the planet's temperature.
With the Paris climate agreement committing countries to keep global temperature rises under 2C this century, the possibility of eliminating up to 0.5C through the phasing out of HFCs is seen as a relatively easy process.
The first step, though, is for countries meeting here to reach agreement on an amendment to the Montreal Protocol.
"What we do here today is actually about much more than one amendment, about much more than the Montreal Protocol," John Kerry told the delegates.
"It's about whether we have actually woken up as a world, in a meaningful way, to the harsh reality of climate change."
The US, EU, island states and many African countries are pushing for a rapid phase-out, with a peak in use around 2020 and a rapid phase-down after that.
India, Pakistan and the Gulf States want the elimination of these gases to happen several years later.
Complicating matters further is that there appears to be a split in the ranks of the developing countries.
"The Chinese seem willing to move more quickly with the Indians and some of the oil rich Gulf states like the Qataris and the Saudis, unwilling to do so," said Paul Bledsoe, a former Clinton White House climate official.
"It's possible that there are two standards for developing countries, one for the more ambitious and one for the laggards."
The idea of a three part agreement is frowned on by some as adding unnecessary complications to an already complex process.
There are also worries about the exemption gleaned by the Gulf states.
They have successfully argued that ambient temperatures in their region are so high and they are so reliant on air conditioning that they should have an extra four years to implement changes.
Mr Kerry urged parties here to compromise and remember the greater good.
"No country has the right to turn its back on this effort, to forget about the meaning of a multilateral effort where the world is looking to us to literally save this planet from what we ourselves have chosen to do in respect of how we power our energy," he told the delegates.
'Low hanging fruit'
But the officials conducting the negotiations say they are open to a more complex framework, arguing that it makes everything more clear.
"This is the first time we have gone beyond freeze dates, this brings everything to the table and allows us to set the rules of the road," said Gina McCarthy, administrator of the US Environmental Protection Agency and part of the US negotiating team here.
"And because we have a framework that all the developing countries are comfortable with, we can go from here to produce the detailed clarity that you would expect and amend to provide."
"If we reach an agreement, we think it is going to be a clear, ambitious amendment, because the amount of HFCs that will be reduced and the amount of CO2 equivalent will be quite remarkable."
Delegates were also wrangling over money to help industries in developing countries to phase out HFCs. Last month a group of donor countries and philanthropists pledged $80 million dollars to help the transition. Negotiators were warned that now was the time for agreement.
"No-one will forgive you if we cannot find a compromise at this conference," warned UN Environment Executive Secretary Erik Solheim.
"This is one of the cheapest, easiest and lowest hanging fruits in the entire arsenal of the climate negotiations I am absolutely confident that we can find that compromise."

Russell Hobby closed the National Association of Head Teachers' conference by calling for a fundamental review of assessment of pupils.
Pupils should only be formally assessed at the start and end of primary school, he said.
A government spokesman said it was committed to measuring pupil progress.
Reception tests were due to be introduced last month but the plans were axed.
The government had approved three separate baseline tests, which were to be used to measure the progress of pupils from when they start primary school to when they leave at age 11.
Thousands of schools had adopted one of the three, only to be told they were not going to be used to measure progress as had been intended.
Ministers say they are committed to a new baseline test and are working on new plans for this.
Teachers have also been grappling with a new curriculum, new tests and assessments, and complained of a lack of information.
Heads expressed their anger with the situation on Saturday when they heckled and jeered Education Secretary Nicky Morgan.
Mr Hobby told delegates in Birmingham: "We cannot and will not endure another year of chaos.
"School leaders cannot do their duty to children under these circumstances."
He also called for a new approach to assessment of pupil's progress in primary schools.
Currently pupils are assessed formally through national tests at age seven and 11.
He said: "If you are going to measure progress you need a start measure and an end measure.
"And you should start at the beginning of school, not in the middle, missing out the most important years of a child's education."
But any Reception baseline test would have to be "one that works" and "not the mess that we've seen this year", he said.
He argued that statutory assessments for Year 2 pupils should be scrapped: "We cannot have two high-stake tests for young children."
A spokesman for the Department for Education said: "We are committed to measuring pupil's progress through primary school and are continuing to look at the best way of assessing children in the early years. We will engage actively with the profession as we do so.
"Parents rightly expect their children to leave primary school having mastered the basics of literacy and numeracy and that is why we have tests at the end of Key Stage 2.
"A high-quality education in English - and the ability to communicate effectively - is an important part of the government's commitment to extend opportunity to all."
Iran was against US intervention, he said, and the world should respect the results of Iraq's April election which saw victory for Nouri Maliki's alliance.
But the ayatollah has been overtaken by events.
The past week has seen the US launch air strikes against Islamic State (IS) militants in northern Iraq, while in Baghdad Mr Maliki has failed in his bid to return to the prime minister's office.
Although this all goes contrary to Iran's stated wishes, officials in Tehran have said almost nothing.
"Iran's silence shows they are happy with what's happening in Iraq," says Ghassan Attiyah, president of the Baghdad-based Iraqi Foundation for Development and Democracy.
Mr Attiyah says that Iraq's new Prime Minister Haider Al-Abadi has strong ties to Iran and for this reason the Iranians have not tried to block his nomination.
"They were not happy with Maliki from the beginning but they accepted him because the Shia bloc supported him in parliament," he says.
"But when he started losing and alienating Kurds and Sunnis, Iran didn't like it."
Iran has also confounded expectations that it would issue an angry condemnation of the US air strikes this week on IS positions in northern Iraq.
In fact, in a striking change of tone, an advisor to Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said on Monday that Iran and the US should work together to counter IS in Iraq.
Observers say the realisation that the militants are now just 25km (16 miles) from Iran's western border may well have influenced thinking in Tehran.
It is clear that the threat posed by the Islamic State is another factor in Iran's decision not to actively oppose the appointment of Mr Abadi as Iraq's new prime minister.
Unlike US President Barack Obama, Iran's president has yet to congratulate Mr Abadi on his appointment.
But in a phone call on Monday to congratulate another newly elected leader in the region, Turkey's Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said a government must be formed in Iraq "as soon as possible", and that Iran would support "the person who is approved by the majority of Iraqi lawmakers".
It was the first clear indication that Iran was not intending to stand firmly behind Mr Maliki as it has done for its other regional protege, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
There was more bad news for Mr Maliki on Tuesday when the secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, Ali Shamkhani, also voiced support for the move in Baghdad to choose a new prime minister.
Mr Shamkhani's call for all Iraqi groups and coalitions to keep united and work together to protect national unity seemed like a coded message to Mr Maliki that his time was running out.
The hardline Javan newspaper, affiliated to Iran's Revolutionary Guard, adopted a similar tone.
In an editorial, it called on him to show "selfless compliance" to the Iraqi president's decision.
The final nail in the coffin was Ayatollah Khamenei lending his support to Mr Abadi's appointment on Wednesday.
"I hope the designation of the new prime minister in Iraq will untie the knot and lead to the establishment of a new government and teach a good lesson to those who aim for sedition in Iraq," Ayatollah Khamenei said in a speech to foreign ministry officials and diplomats.
"Maliki won't leave easily," says Mohsen Milani, the Iranian-born director of the Center for Strategic and Diplomatic Studies in Florida.
"But if both Iran and the US support the new government, he has to go."
Mr Maliki said Mr Abadi's nomination was a "violation of the constitution" but for Iran what is important at the moment is to see a unified Shia bloc in Iraq and a new government formed without further delay.
And if Mr Maliki cannot deliver either of these things, then as far as Iran is concerned, his time is up.
Ruth Davidson wants graduates to pay back £6,000 towards their education once they are earning more than £20,000 a year.
She said the money would be put towards post-16 education, and replacing the cash she said had been "ripped out" of the bursary system by the SNP.
Scotland's other three main parties are committed to free university tuition.
Speaking on the BBC's Good Morning Scotland programme ahead of the Holyrood election on 5 May, Ms Davidson said it was "shocking" that children from poorer backgrounds were half as likely to go to university in Scotland than England, where students pay tuition fees of up to £9,000.
She said: "What we want to introduce is a scheme by which, once you have graduated and once you have a degree, once you are in a job earning over a certain amount of money, over £20,000, you start to pay back a contribution to the education that you received.
"It would be phased in so it would be only new graduates. We wouldn't backdate it to anybody.
"On average, people with a degree earn £100,000 more over their lifetime that those people who don't have one.
"If you continue in low-paid employment then you don't have to pay this back. That is why it is a graduate contribution."
University tuition fees were initially limited to £1,000 when they were introduced in England in 1998, but now stand at up to £9,000.
Ms Davidson said her party's plan for a charge in Scotland would be capped at £1,500 for every year of a graduate's degree for the full term of the next parliament.
She added: "We have universities in Scotland that are crying out for more funding. We have a college sector which has been slashed and burned by the SNP in order to fund this shibboleth of free education.
"We have European students coming here who don't have to pay a penny for the degree that they receive and this would be a way for them to contribute too."
And she insisted that higher education in Scotland was not truly free as it had "cost us 152,000 college places", put barriers in the way of the poorer people who want to go to university and put "a cap on the number of Scottish students that are actually able to go".
During the interview, Ms Davidson also said she would fight to ensure there was not another independence referendum.
And she explained her party's plans to bring back prescription charges in Scotland, which she said had cost £60m to the NHS in Scotland.
She said there would be a charge of £8.40 for prescriptions, although people on low incomes, students, pensioners, patients with long-term conditions and pregnant women would not have to pay.
Ms Davidson said it was not fair that people earning "good salaries" should cost the NHS money by getting their prescriptions for free.
She added: "I am prepared to pay a contribution if that means someone else doesn't have to wait an hour for a bedpan in a hospital ward or can get a cancer drug that is otherwise being denied them."
The SNP government scrapped prescription charges in Scotland five years ago - leaving England as the only part of the UK to charge for them.
Responding to Ms Davidson's interview, Scottish Labour's Jackie Baillie said the Conservative leader was "against asking the richest 1% to pay a bit more to stop the cuts, but she does want to impose hidden taxes on students and on the sick."
In the televised STV leaders' debate on Tuesday, SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon claimed the Conservatives were "not the party of low taxes" but the "party of hidden taxes".
And Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie said Ms Davidson "really only wants to cut taxes for the rich - she doesn't want to improve services for anybody else".
Mark Linsey, acting director of BBC Television, said in a statement that it "wouldn't get into a bidding war or pay inflated prices to keep the show".
The next series, which begins in January, will be the fifth to be shown by the BBC.
The show's new broadcaster has not yet been confirmed.
Mr Linsey said: "The BBC is incredibly proud of The Voice, but the fifth series which starts in January will be our last.
"We always said we wouldn't get into a bidding war or pay inflated prices to keep the show, and it's testament to how the BBC has built the programme up - and established it into a mainstay of the Saturday night schedule - that another broadcaster has poached it."
Last month the BBC said it had made a "final" bid to keep the show for two more years.
Boy George and Paloma Faith will join will.i.am and Ricky Wilson on the judging panel for the next series.
The show is currently made for BBC One by production companies Talpa and Wall to Wall. ITV bought Talpa for £355m earlier this year.
The Voice was singled out in a consultation paper published by the government, ahead of the BBC's charter renewal, as a format that is "similar to ITV's X Factor", and which was bought in from overseas rather than being developed in-house.
Culture Secretary John Whittingdale has questioned whether such shows are "distinctive" enough from those aired by commercial rivals.
In August, the BBC's director of television Danny Cohen - who is leaving his role at the end of November - defended the corporation's right to air entertainment shows like The Voice.
The retailer has struggled with its clothing sales in recent years amid increased competition on the High Street and from online retailers.
Sales in the clothing and home division have improved recently, but M&S has said more work was needed.
She fills the role left by Steve Rowe when he became M&S chief executive.
Mr Rowe said: "Jill's first-class customer knowledge and great experience in running dynamic, high-achieving teams make her exactly the right person to lead this all-important part of our business from recovery into growth," he said.
Ms McDonald, who ran the UK arm of McDonald's before joining Halfords, said: "I have long been an M&S customer and professional fan, so working with the brand was a career opportunity that I just couldn't turn down."
She will join M&S in the autumn.
Mr Rowe has made it his mission to revive the clothing division, saying he wants to make it simpler and put customers back at the centre of its business.
But Ms McDonald has a tough job ahead of her.
M&S has suffered intense competition High Street rivals such as Zara, Primark and Topshop. Many of its traditional customers have complained of multiple clothing lines that have little to differentiate them and a lack of fashion-conscious vision.
Retail analyst Nick Bubb described Ms McDonald's appointment as a "shock".
"It goes without saying that there is nothing in her CV that would have implied that she was a candidate for this key position.
"It will be interesting to see how long she lasts," he added.
Brokers Canaccord and Liberum both said the announcement was "unexpected" and "disappointing" for Halfords, whose shares were 3% down on Wednesday.
Canaccord pointed out that it was the second time Halfords had lost a CEO to a "bigger" role at a rival.
Former Halfords' chief executive Matt Davies left to run Tesco's UK business in 2015.
Last month M&S revealed plans to shut six stores while opening 36 brand new ones over the next six months, creating more than 1,400 jobs.
The plans involve opening 200 new food-only stores, while selling clothing and homeware from 60 fewer stores.
Also, M&S has revealed plans to venture in to online grocery deliveries, with reports of a potential deal with Ocado.
The 27-year-old opening batsman joined before the start of the 2013 season and has scored 2,763 runs at an average of 34 - including seven hundreds.
He hit 1,000 first-class runs for the first time in 2015, and managed 934 last summer at an average of 40
"Billy leads from the front, opens and has the respect of the players," said director of cricket Kim Barnett.
"He is the perfect man for this situation and I feel that we are lucky to have him.
"Billy has a big responsibility this summer within our new coaching model and he is without question the right man for it."
Godleman only signed a new two-year contract in August, a month before Barnett returned to take charge of the side.
If fulfilled, the deal could be worth around $3bn (£2bn).
The airline, flymojo, has signed a letter of intent to buy 20 CS100 aircraft, but it may lead to the purchase of a further 20.
The wings of the CSeries will be made by Bombardier in Belfast.
The CSeries has been hit by years of delays and cost overruns.
It is finally due to enter service later this year.
Michael Ryan, vice-president and general manager, of Bombardier Belfast, said: "We are pleased that flymojo has placed this letter of intent for up to 40 CS100 aircraft.
"This is a further endorsement of the aircraft's game-changing credentials, to which we in Belfast are contributing with the production of the advanced composite wings."
Bombardier has now booked orders and commitments for 603 CSeries aircraft.
Authorities have asked people living near the river to leave their homes and move to safer places.
At least 10 people are missing after landslides buried a number of houses.
The alert comes after more than 250 people died in September in what was described as the worst flooding in the region in half a century.
The deputy chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir state, Nirmal Singh, said the authorities were on "full alert" after heavy rain in the Kashmir Valley and the "situation is being monitored continuously".
Senior police official Javid Mujtaba Gillani told the AFP news agency that rescue workers were trying to find out "10 to 12 people" buried under mudslides in Chadoora, some 15km (10 miles) west of the main city of Srinagar.
More than 200 families have been moved from low-lying areas to tents, government buildings and to the homes of their relatives on higher ground.
Many areas of Srinagar are already under water.
The main road connecting Srinagar with Jammu has been closed following landslides and authorities have issued avalanche warnings in seven districts, reports say.
Forecasters are predicting more rain this week.
Last September's floods affected more than 1.2 million people and damaged more than 180,000 houses in the state.
The man, said to be in his 60s, slammed the swan into a harbour wall in the Cornish fishing village of Mevagissey according to witnesses.
The swan, known as Nobby and much loved in the village, was left bleeding and battered after the attack on Tuesday.
Police are investigating the offence and "exploring the possibility" the attacker was a German holidaymaker.
Debs Johnston, who regularly feeds the swans, said: "This guy apparently just grabbed him by the neck and was slamming him into the wall."
Miss Johnston went with an RSPCA officer to find Nobby at the nearby beach of Pentewan on Wednesday where they found he was missing all of his flight feathers.
A witness, who did not want to be named, said the man thought to have carried out the attack then got on to a German tour coach.
Devon and Cornwall Police said they wanted to speak to a man in his 60s, around 5ft 8in tall, wearing cream trousers and a red and orange top, in connection with causing unnecessary suffering to an animal.
A spokesman said: "We received a report of a male offender who seemed to grab an adult swan by the neck and swing it around then throw it to the ground, resulting in injury to the swan's wing.
"This was a cruel offence which has caused unnecessary suffering to the swan."
The Stags started the season well but are without a win in their last six league matches.
Murray told BBC Radio Nottingham: "The performance levels have been really high. We haven't taken our chances and have been sucker-punched.
"We've kept our head down and kept working hard. The boys are confident."
This month some of our fans would probably chuck me out of a window
Mansfield enjoyed a morale-boosting victory on Tuesday, beating League One side Port Vale in the EFL Trophy.
"We feel like we've brushed some things out the door and got some things back on track," said Murray. "All that's been missing over this last month is belief and confidence.
"This time last month I was nominated for manager of the month. I think this month some of our fans would probably chuck me out of a window, but that's the game.
"We just need to keep doing what we're doing and, the way this game goes, Lady Luck will again spring back around.
"Our focus now is on a massive game on Saturday. The boys have been preparing and we're ready for action. We want to put in a good performance."
Notts County, seventh in League Two, will be out for revenge at Field Mill, where they were thrashed 5-0 last season.
They will also be looking for a fourth consecutive away win under John Sheridan.
The former Sheffield Wednesday midfielder took over as Magpies manager during the summer and is confident they will fare better in the Nottinghamshire showdown this time around.
If it is a battle then I've got players I think can stand up to it
"It's one of those games that's about winning the game, no matter how you win," said Sheridan.
"We'll try to play. We don't want to get caught up in a battle, but sometimes when it's an ugly game you've got to deal with that.
"It'll be a good atmosphere and we'll take a big following. When you're a player you want to play in this sort of game.
"With it being Mansfield there's a bit more of an edge to it, but we've just got to treat it like another game.
"If it is a battle then I've got players I think can stand up to it. Whatever is thrown at us I think we can deal with."
Research in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association found those who ate a low-fat diet that contained lots of fruit and vegetables lowered their risk of dying over 10 years.
The study compared the diets of 2,500 US adults aged 70 to 79.
Those who ate a high fat diet rich in ice cream, cheese, and whole milk, had the highest risk of death.
The study showed that 12 extra people in every hundred survived over the ten years, if they ate healthily.
Participants were split into six different groups, according to how often they ate certain foods.
The groups were: healthy foods; high-fat diary products; meat, fried foods and alcohol; breakfast cereal; refined grains and sweets and desserts.
Those who had a "healthy foods" diet ate more low-fat dairy products, fruit, whole grains, poultry, fish, and vegetables.
People in this group had healthier lifestyles too; smoking less and being more active than other participants.
They also ate lower amounts of meat, fried foods, sweets, high-calorie drinks, and added fat.
The "high fat dairy products" cluster ate more ice cream, cheese and whole milk and yogurt. They ate less poultry, low fat dairy products, rice, and pasta.
Researchers found that those who followed a predominantly high fat, dairy products diet, had a higher death risk than those in the healthy food group.
No significant differences in death risk were seen between the "healthy foods" eaters and the "breakfast cereal" or "refined grains" eaters.
Lead researcher, Dr Amy Anderson, from the University of Maryland, said the results suggest "older adults who ...consume relatively high amounts of vegetables, fruit, whole grains, low-fat dairy products, poultry and fish, may have a lower risk of mortality".
British dietitian Lucy Jones, who is a spokesperson for the British Dietetic Association, said that saturated fat and trans fatty acids (a type of fat found in processed foods) were a common factor for those in the higher risk groups.
"The most harmful food groups appear to be the 'sweets and desserts' group and the 'high fat dairy group' in terms of risk of death," she said.
"These groups are both high in saturated fat and trans fatty acids in addition to calories, contributing to obesity and high cholesterol."
However, she noted that participants were not controlled for their weight and body mass index, which, she said, could mean that the increased risk of death was linked to being overweight.
They said the plane hit the ground in the French Alps at great velocity, suggesting no explosion in flight.
Flight 4U 9525 from Barcelona to Duesseldorf crashed after an eight-minute rapid descent on Tuesday.
The French, German and Spanish leaders visited the crash site on Wednesday.
Remi Jouty, the director of the French aviation investigative agency, said there were sounds and voices on the cockpit voice recorder but that it was too early to draw any conclusions.
He said he hoped investigators would have the "first rough ideas in a matter of days" but that the full analysis could take weeks or even months.
But the New York Times quoted an unnamed investigator as saying that one of the pilots had left the cockpit and had been unable to get back in.
"You can hear he is trying to smash the door down," the investigator adds, describing audio from the recorder.
There had been earlier reports that the second black box - the flight data recorder - had been found. But Mr Jouty said this was not the case.
Mr Jouty said the plane's last communication was a routine one with air traffic control.
The plane confirmed instructions to continue on its planned flight path but then began its descent a minute later.
Analysis by Richard Westcott, BBC Transport Correspondent
The "black box" cockpit voice recorder is pretty battered but the devices are bomb-proof, literally, so investigators should still be able to listen to what happened on board.
The large, orange cylindrical part in the middle holds the memory boards that record the pilots' voices, and that looks intact to me.
The critical question now is, were the pilots speaking during those lost eight minutes when the aircraft dropped from 38,000ft to the ground?
If they're quiet, investigators will know they were unconscious, and that suggests a major decompression took place on board. That's when a hole in the fuselage lets all the air out. It's not necessarily fatal, if the pilots can get their oxygen masks on in time, something they train for, but if they were knocked out, it would explain the lack of a mayday call or any obvious attempt to steer the stricken aircraft to the nearest runway.
Mr Jouty said controllers observed the plane beginning to descend and tried to get back in contact with the pilots but without success.
He ruled out an explosion, saying: "The plane was flying right to the end."
Mr Jouty said: "At this stage, clearly, we are not in a position to have the slightest explanation or interpretation of the reasons that could have led this plane to descend... or the reasons why it did not respond to attempts to contact it by air traffic controllers."
Meanwhile, the BBC's Lucy Williamson in Seyne-les-Alpes says there are now reports that bodies are being recovered and airlifted from the site.
Germanwings chief Thomas Winkelmann said 72 of the 144 passengers were German citizens. The victims included 16 pupils returning from an exchange trip. Spain's government now says 51 of the dead were Spanish.
UK Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond confirmed that three Britons were on board. Other victims were from Australia, Argentina, Iran, Venezuela, the US, the Netherlands, Colombia, Mexico, Japan, Denmark and Israel.
However, there may be some duplication because of dual citizenship.
Earlier, French President Francois Hollande, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy gave a press conference after visiting the site of the crash.
Mr Hollande told his counterparts: The French people are here shoulder to shoulder with you during this ordeal. Everything will be done to find, identify and hand back to the families the bodies of their loved ones."
Both he and Mrs Merkel said they would do everything they could to find the cause of the crash.
In a press briefing later, Carsten Spohr, CEO of Lufthansa, which owns Germanwings, said this was "the darkest hour of 60 years of Lufthansa".
He added: "We cannot understand how an airplane in perfect technical condition with two such trained pilots was involved in such a terrible accident."
Lufthansa will operate two flights on Thursday to take relatives to France.
However, a bus with 14 relatives of Spanish victims left Barcelona on Wednesday for the crash area, because they did not want to fly.

French gendarmes here have taken over a large part of this valley on the outskirts of town. One van with sirens escorted in a white trailer bearing the words "Mobile Criminal Investigation Laboratory".
Emergency workers in fluorescent jackets say that they want to work as quickly as they can.
"We cannot leave the victims a week in the mountains," said Roy Xavier from Civil Security.
But victims' families will have a long wait for the bodies to be returned to them. The Prosecutor of Marseille told reporters that it may be several weeks before all the victims are identified.

The 22-year-old was recently released by Hull, having signed a three-year deal with the Tigers back in 2014.
He previously scored 26 goals in the 2013-14 season for non-league side Folkestone Invicta.
Ter Horst, recovering from a shoulder operation, told Maidstone's website: "This is a club definitely on the way up and I hope I can be a part of that."
Wales' progress to the quarter finals has netted the Football Association of Wales 14m euros (£11.3m) in prize money so far.
It will get another 4m euros (£3.2m) if Chris Coleman's side make it through to the semi-finals with a win on Friday.
It is big money for the relatively small FAW, which made a profit of £20,000 last year.
Chief executive Jonathan Ford told BBC Radio Wales' Good Morning Wales programme that tournament progress had been "an absolute dream come true."
"It has gone beyond my dreams, it has gone beyond the nation's dreams. Wales - wow - through to the last eight in Euro 2016," he added.
The FAW will have to spend some of the prize money on hotels and transportation, staffing costs and player bonuses, but it will invest the rest in the sport itself.
"It is the job of the FAW to develop, promote and protect Welsh football," said Mr Ford.
"And what better way than to see our team play at the highest level in Europe.
"It certainly helps as far as achieving the objectives we set ourselves in our strategic plan and what we are now really able to do is to achieve those objectives more quickly and better than we would have without the team having qualified."
The tournament is the first time Wales have qualified for a major finals in 58 years and the side have now matched the achievement of the 1958 World Cup team which reached the last eight and lost 1-0 to eventual winners Brazil.
When asked if Welsh qualification was the new norm, Mr Ford replied: "I certainly hope so. We have got to look at this in a consistent way.
"It is not about one qualification, but doing it in a consistent fashion.
"Let's hope that after this - and we do not want this to end any time soon - we can concentrate on World Cup 2018 and see our way to Russia as well."
In a real "absolute dream" scenario Wales would pick up another 8m euros (£6.4m) if they went on to become European champions.
Participation in tournament - 8m euro (£6.4m)
Each win in the pool stages - 1m euro (£812,000)
Reach last 16 - 1.5m euro (£1.2m)
Reach quarter finals - 2.5m euro (£2m)
Reach semi finals 4m euro (£3.2m)
Champions 8m euro (£6.4m)
EMPpad was "a simple box that slows ageing, reduces pain... and tackles cancer," the entertainer tweeted.
In response to one cancer patient's comments, he suggested the disease was caused by "negative attitude".
EMPpad said it did not agree with his comments "in any way, shape or form".
The Deal Or No Deal presenter is a long-time fan of the EMPpad, a machine which aims to stimulate "cellular resonance" in the body with "low intensity and frequency pulsed electromagnetic fields".
Praising the machine, which he has previously called a "miracle pad", he tweeted: "A simple box that slows ageing, reduces pain, lifts depression and stress and tackles cancer. Yep tackles cancer!"
Other Twitter users responded to his tweet, including from @VaunEarl, whose Twitter biography states he has kidney cancer, lymph node metastases and psoriatic arthritis.
@VaunEarl tweeted: "I think Noel Edmonds should stick to what he's good at. Presenting quiz shows and beard trimming, rather than curing cancer."
Mr Edmonds responded by tweeting: "Scientific fact-disease is caused by negative energy. Is it possible your ill health is caused by your negative attitude? #explore".
The Advertising Standards Authority said it was aware of concerns about Edmonds' claims, and was "urgently looking into" a formal complaint.
EMPpad Limited said it does not pay Noel Edmonds to advertise the product.
Its directors published a statement which said: "The opinions of Mr Noel Edmonds are his alone and do not reflect in any way with the opinions of us at EMPpad.
"We had no discussion, input or prior knowledge of the content of Mr Edmonds' statement and we do not agree with it in any way, shape or form."
As well as writing children's fiction, Colfer wrote the sixth instalment in the Douglas Adams' series The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
Colfer said: "I intend to spend my time spreading stories to every nook and cranny in the country.
"Nobody is safe. It doesn't matter where you hide - I will find you and tell you a story."
The former primary school teacher from Wexford will hold the title Laureate na nOg for two years, taking over the role from Niamh Sharkey.
The children's laureate title not only honours the author for outstanding work but tasks them with promoting and celebrating literature for children.
"I feel incredibly honoured and incredibly petrified to be taking on the Laureate mantle after Niamh and Siobhan (Parkinson). I feel I am representing my family and my county and indeed all book people in Ireland which is not something I mean to take lightly," said Colfer.
Colfer's first novel, Benny and Omar, was based on his experiences of travelling and working in Tunisia.
His first Artemis Fowl book, published in 2001, became a best-seller and spawned seven further novels.
Aimed at the young adult audience, the fantasy books focus on a young criminal mastermind who kidnaps a fairy in order to expand his empire.
To mark the 30th anniversary of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, with the permission of Douglas Adams' family, Colfer wrote a sixth book in the series, And Another Thing, something Adams had always planned.
The plan for a unity government was part of a peace deal in August to end the civil war which began in 2013 when President Salva Kiir accused his then-deputy Riek Machar of plotting a coup.
The two sides blame each other for violating the terms of the agreement.
Thousands of people have been killed and millions displaced since 2013.
President Kiir, who said he had "reservations" about the August peace deal, appointed 28 new governors for the new provinces, just as rebel delegates arrived in the capital Juba, to begin work on the new government.

The former president of Botswana and head of the Joint Monitoring and Evaluation Commission, Festus Mogae, told Al Jazeera the move was one of the many barriers to peace.
"One important one that has occurred, unfortunate in its timing, is the creation of 28 states because it's inconsistent with what is envisaged in the [peace] agreement and, therefore, it is not acceptable," Mr Mogae said.
The United Nations released a report this week, accusing both President Kiir's forces and Mr Machar's rebels of mutual killings, including "hundreds of extra-judicial killings, enforced disappearances, gang-rapes, sexual slavery, forced abortion, [and] massive child soldier recruitment".
Peter Schumann, former director of the UN Mission in Southern Sudan told All Africa he would have been surprised if the transitional government had been established.
"Both parties have different agendas and do not follow their agreements," Mr Schumann said. "There is no peaceful solution, because both parties are trying to control territory and oil resources."
The borough council loaned £10.25m to Northampton Town Football Club to redevelop the stadium and nearby land, but the funds have seemingly vanished, leaving an unfinished stand and the football club almost going under.
This story began four years ago when a decision was made to invest in the new stand. Now a police inquiry is under way into "alleged financial irregularities".
A BBC investigation has traced where most of the loan money seems to have gone, uncovering allegations millions of pounds was misappropriated by the developer appointed to oversee the project.
We've also discovered how some of it may have financed other schemes and how the developer disguised his funding of former council leader David Mackintosh's successful bid to become the MP for Northampton South.
These hidden donations are now the subject of another police inquiry, after the Electoral Commission referred our findings to them.
Mr Mackintosh said he welcomed both investigations and that he "will co-operate fully with police".
Below is our coverage to date. This timeline will be updated as we report on developments.

Media reports on Wednesday had suggested Mr Trump was drafting an executive order to end the pact.
During his election campaign Mr Trump called Nafta the "single worst trade deal ever" and a "killer" of US jobs.
The reversal surprised markets, sending the Mexican peso and Canadian dollar higher after losses earlier this week.
The White House said it had "agreed not to terminate NAFTA at this time" and that the Mexican and Canadian leaders had "now agreed to proceed swiftly to renegotiate... to enable the renegotiation of the Nafta".
Trump's trade agenda: Just what are his priorities?
Mr Trump's comments on Nafta come just days after the US imposed a new tariff on softwood lumber coming from Canada.
He also called a new Canadian tariff regime affecting US dairy products a "disgrace".
On Tuesday, the US lost a trade battle with the other Nafta signatory.
The World Trade Organization ruled that Mexico could impose more than $160m (£125m) annually in sanctions against the US on commerce in tuna, capping a dispute dating back to 2008.
Early in his presidency, Mr Trump fulfilled a campaign pledge by signing an executive order to withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).
The 12-nation trade deal was a linchpin of former President Barack Obama's Asia policy.
Sylvan Ebanks-Blake scored his first goal since August to give them an early lead but Craig Mackail-Smith and Tom Nichols replied quickly to put Peterborough in front.
In a frenetic opening, Kristian Dennis and Mackail-Smith swapped goals to leave Posh leading 3-2 with only half-an-hour gone, but Chesterfield salvaged a 3-3 draw thanks to Dion Donohue's goal at the start of the second half.
Donohue's leveller helped Chesterfield avoid a 22nd League One defeat of the season, but they are now 10 points from safety after Oldham beat Oxford.
The hosts got off to a great start when Rai Simons set up Ebanks-Blake who found the bottom-left corner from 16 yards in the third minute.
But Peterborough hit back four minutes later when Bradden Inman crossed from the right and Mackail-Smith turned the ball in at the back post.
Chris Forrester rattled the Chesterfield crossbar from 25 yards two minutes later but Peterborough scored again in the 17th minute when Nichols was given too much time to turn in the box and find the bottom corner.
Peterborough were equally charitable in the 27th minute when a free-kick was allowed to reach Dennis on the edge of the six-yard box and although he scuffed his first attempt, he fired the second into the roof of the net.
It was the first time Chesterfield had scored twice in a game this year but they were behind three minutes later when Forrester played Mackail-Smith in to place a low shot inside Thorsten Stuckmann's right post.
More goals seemed inevitable and Chesterfield duly equalised in the 54th minute when Ebanks-Blake took advantage of static defending to set up Donohue who beat Luke McGee from 15 yards.
The chances kept coming and Mackail-Smith curled a shot against the underside of the bar five minutes from time before Posh substitute Junior Morais fired wide from four yards.

Wong and two others climbed over a fence into the forecourt of the Hong Kong government complex on 26 September 2014.
Their arrest helped trigger mass pro-democracy rallies that occupied parts of the city for more than two months.
The movement called on Beijing to allow fully free elections for the leader of the semi-autonomous territory.
Many in Hong Kong feel the chief-executive - currently chosen by a 1,200-member election committee largely viewed as pro-Beijing - should be chosen by a democratic vote.
In August 2014, the Chinese government said it would allow the chief executive to be elected by the public - but that only pre-approved candidates would be eligible to stand.
This sparked the mass street protests and sit-ins, that became known as the Occupy Central movement.
In mid-December of 2014 police dismantled the main occupation sites with the pro-democracy side winning no concessions from Beijing.
Hong Kong's democracy debate
Wong, 19, became the face of the movement, which was driven in large part by youth in Hong Kong. He faces up to two years in prison.
He was cleared of a second charge of incitement.
Student activist Alex Chow was also found guilty of "taking part in an unlawful assembly" and Nathan Law was found guilty of "inciting others to take part in an unlawful assembly".
All three were released on bail to be sentenced on 15 August.
Speaking outside the court house, Wong told reporters he had been prepared for the verdict and that the fight for democracy was a long-term battle.
Wong and Law are now leaders of a new political party, Demosisto, but if they are imprisoned this could well end their hopes of taking part in elections to the Hong Kong legislature in September, BBC Chinese's Martin Yip in Hong Kong says.

Col Oliver Lee said he is "extremely pleased" that the case will be heard by the Courts Martial Appeal Court for a second time.
He resigned in protest after Blackman was convicted of murdering a Taliban insurgent at a court martial in 2013.
Blackman, 42, from Taunton, was known during his trial as Marine A.
Col Lee said the circumstances surrounding the killing needed to be reconsidered.
"A much more balanced and full picture of the situation in which he found himself needed to be presented," he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme.
Blackman applied to the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) after his earlier appeal was dismissed in 2014, which referred the conviction to the court after an 11-month investigation.
The court will look at new expert evidence relating to Blackman's mental state at the time of the killing.
It will also consider that the alternative verdict of "unlawful act manslaughter" was not available at his original trial.
Col Lee said the court martial should have taken greater account of the acute stress Blackman was under at the time.
"I don't seek to condone his behaviour or exonerate him from his responsibilities," he said.
"I took a view that the proceedings against Sgt Blackman hadn't been balanced."
David James Smith, lead CCRC commissioner on the case, said there was a "real possibility" that Blackman's second appeal would be successful.
"There are new issues - principally relating to Mr Blackman's state of mind at the time of the shooting," he said.
The killing on 15 September 2011 took place after a patrol base in Helmand province came under fire from two insurgents.
One of the attackers was seriously injured by gunfire from an Apache helicopter sent to provide air support, and the marines found him in a field.
Footage from the helmet-mounted camera of another marine in his unit, 42 Commando, showed Blackman shooting the Afghan prisoner in the chest at close range with a 9mm pistol.
Blackman was convicted of murder in November 2013 and jailed for life. He lost an appeal in May of the following year, but his 10-year minimum term was reduced to eight years.
Col Lee asked that "his case is considered in the round, in the broadest sense, such that he is dealt with in a fair manner."
No sooner had Labour's UK manifesto arrived, with a pledge to work with the Welsh Government to scrap the tolls, than the Conservatives made a similar pledge.
Or, to be precise, a press release arrived bearing the headline: "Theresa May: I will abolish tolls on Severn Crossings between Wales and England."
The Conservatives put the cost of maintaining the bridges - which will be done by Highways England - at just £7m.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and UKIP were swift to point out the Conservatives had stolen another one of their policies. The Lib Dems and Plaid Cymru pointed out that they too wanted to scrap tolls. Success has many fathers, while failure is an orphan.
Labour's manifesto looks rather similar to last week's leaked version. The paragraph on Wales has been beefed up to include the promise of a new Wales Act. "We will bring forward legislation to make the devolution settlement more sustainable as set out by the Welsh Labour government in its alternative Wales Bill, including the devolution of policing."
Professor Richard Wyn Jones saw that as a "significant victory" for Welsh Labour leader Carwyn Jones as the party accepted proposals in a shadow Bill recently rejected by Welsh Labour MPs. The alternative Bill will presumably be vying for parliamentary space with the legislation needed for Brexit.
The final manifesto also includes the draft version's "presumption of devolution" when powers return from Brussels and a promise to make up the shortfall of EU funds. Richard Wyn Jones views the presumption of devolution as "another victory" for Carwyn Jones.
The first minister himself said the value of the "beefed-up Welsh Labour presence" in the manifesto process was clear to see. "Significant support for our key priorities-economy, infrastructure and power closer to the people."
He said the Welsh party would build on the plans in its manifesto, which is due to be published on 22 May.
Although the UK version is not Welsh Labour's manifesto, it does feature policies that would have a wide impact on people in Wales - from the reversal of benefit cuts to significantly higher public spending, funded by taxation and borrowing, and the rejection of plans to increase the state pension age beyond 66.

Seven members of the public were killed when a van drove into pedestrians on London Bridge, and then its occupants got out and stabbed victims at random.
A photo of the three suspects - after they has been shot dead by police - is the stark image on front of the Daily Mirror and the News Letter.
The Mirror condemns them as "monsters".
It compares the actions of the three suspects with the bravery of unarmed police and members of the public who tried to fight back against the attackers.
The paper reports how a British Transport Police officer was stabbed in the head and leg after he "took on the killers" with only a baton to defend himself from 10-in (25-cm) knives.
"Enough is enough," says the News Letter's front page, quoting Prime Minister Theresa May after the third attack in England in as many months.
It reports how Mrs May has vowed to crack down on "tolerance of extremism" by forcing internet companies to do more to prevent the spread of propaganda.
The News Letter also comments on the strength of the police response, noting how officers fired an "unprecedented" 50 bullets in a public place to kill the suspects.
The Irish News dedicates its first seven pages to the recent attacks in England, including Sunday's star-studded benefit concert for victims of the Manchester bombing.
It says US singer Ariana Grande changed her set list for the One Love Manchester concert, after the mother of one of the teenage victims told the pop star her late daughter would have "wanted to hear the hits".
The Belfast Telegraph opts for a dual image on its front page - showing the singer trying to comfort Manchester's victims as a casualty from the London attack is taken to hospital.
"Bloodied... but unbowed," is the paper's headline and in a small show of solidarity, it notes how police officers and security guards could be seen dancing with the crowd at the benefit gig.
Closer to home, the dailies report the sudden death of Prof Patrick Johnston, Vice Chancellor of Queen's University, Belfast.
The Irish News carries a statement from Queen's conveying staff's "deep sense of shock" over the unexpected death of the 58-year-old "visionary".
The paper says he is a "real loss to cancer research" as he was one of the driving forces behind QUB's Centre for Cancer Research.
The Mirror and others report how more than 1,300 health workers in Northern Ireland are being paid less than the National Living Wage.
The Department of Health has admitted staff still have not received the rise they were due in April, but has promised to rectify their pay packets by next month.
Gossipers beware - your own "rail life" story could be turned into a best seller and you many not even know it.
Novelist Emma Heatherington has admitted to the Belfast Telegraph that she eavesdrops on her fellow passengers' conversations while travelling on buses and trains in Northern Ireland.
The enterprising young writer revealed how a train trip from Belfast to Dublin provided inspiration for her latest novel.
You never know who is listening...
The Belfast Telegraph also carries a true tale of a picture perfect romance, kindled in the days long before Tinder and internet dating were even imagined.
In the early 1950s, Tom Darcy caught sight of a photograph of his future wife, Pam, and was so impressed, he began writing to her.
Within eight short months of meeting face to face, the pen pals got married and this week they celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary.
Old romantic Tom still has the best lines, telling the paper: "It's been nothing but nice all the way."
The record of 12.4C (54F) is the highest average annual temperature since records began in 1947.
Senior Met Officer Martin Crozier said the winter was behind the high.
He said: "We had a pretty warm spring, the summer was okay, but August was actually a bit below normal temperature."
Mr Crozier said: "The new record is in place not so much because of the heat of the summer but because we never really had any cold weather at all."
Two hundred mayors and lord mayors in full regalia paraded through Halifax which was chosen as the main focus for this year's celebration.
Elsewhere, a Yorkshire pudding tossing competition was held in York.
Yorkshire Day was first celebrated on 1 August 1975. One of the key features of the day is the reading of the Yorkshire Declaration of Integrity.
Geraldine Carter, deputy mayor of Calderdale, said: "It's fabulous, look at all the people who have turned out, it's a wonderful occasion.
"It's really good for the town and Calderdale after the floods, it's important Halifax gets on the map."
Calderdale Council said it would be flying the Yorkshire flag at Halifax Town Hall from sunrise to sunset.
Among the dozens of other Yorkshire Day events, York Maze hosted an annual Yorkshire pudding tossing competition.
Organisers said the winning throw at 2015's event was a distance of 34m (112ft).
The owner of Hanley's Hole In The Wall, Glenn Fowler, has run the shop for nearly 30 years and said the decision to shut was unavoidable.
He said: "I can't start to tell you how emotional it is, I'm dreading it."
Over 5,000 people signed a petition to save the building in 2008 when it was threatened with demolition as part of regeneration in North Staffordshire.
The regeneration programmeRenew North Staffordshirebegan in 2004 with the aim of investing £2.3bn over 15 years to help the housing market in the area.
Mr Fowler has sold the building, which the shop has occupied for more than 100 years, to Stoke-on-Trent City Council.
He said the alternative options to move were too expensive for him and his wife Sue.
"It all comes down to money and at the end of the day the money wouldn't be there - we would have had to get a mortgage," he said.
"I don't think there was any way out of it."
Mr Fowler added: "I've spent half my life here so it's going to be emotional, we've made some good friends here and we shall miss them very dearly.
"I'm now hoping to get a part-time job to help bolster our income but we're at a complete loss and dreading the day we have to close.
The Fowler family has been producing oatcakes at The Hole In The Wall since 1982 and bake in what would have been the kitchen of the end of terrace house.
It used to be common for oatcakes to be sold from sash windows of homes to customers on the street.
In 2009, the Hairy Bikers visited Staffordshire while filming a television series.
At the time, one half of the bikers, Simon King, said: "We asked people to sum up Staffordshire in a plate of food, and they all said 'oatcake'!
"Then the second breath was, 'you've got to go to The Hole in The wall oatcake shop'."
The shop will close on Sunday, 25 March.
The 24-year-old has signed a three-year deal at Hove after Hampshire agreed to release him from his contract early.
"I'm looking forward to joining Sussex and working with the players and coaching staff. I'm excited for the opportunities that lie ahead," he said.
"I'm really grateful that Hampshire are letting me leave early. I'd like to thank the playing staff and the coaches that I've worked with at the club."
Briggs has taken 191 first-class wickets in his 67 matches, with a best of 6-45, which he took for England Lions in 2011.
He made his England one-day international debut against Pakistan in Dubai in 2012 and has also played seven times for his country in the T20 format.
Average debt is at the highest level seen since the summer of 2013, insurer Aviva said, having risen by £4,000 in six months.
Aviva's research covers debt, excluding mortgages, during the latter months of 2015.
It follows figures from the Bank of England which showed consumer borrowing leapt ahead of Christmas.
Charities say that, for some individuals, a reliance on credit could become more problematic were interest rates to rise.
Increased borrowing can, however, be a sign of confidence in an improving economy.
The Aviva report suggested that families were saving £105 a month on average, with the typical family savings pot totalling £3,150.
"The alarming levels of rising household debt, along with a recent reduction in income and savings levels, paints an uncertain picture for the family purse in 2016," said Louise Colley, managing director of protection at Aviva.
"With the possibility that the Bank of England could raise interest rates this year, families who have grown accustomed to cheaper credit - particularly those who have spent heavily over the Christmas period - need to ensure they are still fully prepared to manage debt repayments, as well as other monthly outgoings, should rates go up," she said.
Shigeta Miura, 40, allegedly posted rotten tea leaves, dirt, and women's underwear 70 times over the past year.
More than 500 packages were sent to four people who were in his primary school and boy scout troop, Japanese media reported.
Mr Miura told police the packages were sent in revenge.
He reportedly stuffed the rubbish into unstamped packages, putting the intended recipient down as the sender.
He then addressed them to random people, knowing that without stamps they would be returned to the apparent sender.
He is being charged with violating a public nuisance order.
The 25-year-old, who has played for Gloucestershire since 2010, has agreed a three-year contract with Middlesex.
"We have been looking to sign a fast bowler with white-ball pedigree," said Middlesex managing director of cricket Angus Fraser.
"In James I believe we have found a bowler that will add extra bite and quality to this area."
Fuller was a key part of Gloucestershire's winning One-Day Cup campaign this year, taking 15 wickets including 2-34 in the final at Lord's.
Born in Cape Town, South Africa, he holds a UK passport and has taken 101 first-class wickets at an average of 33.90 with best figures of 6-24.
He also has 58 List A one-day wickets at an average of 25.17 and 62 Twenty20 wickets in 46 games.
"I have watched James bowl on numerous occasions and have been impressed with what I have seen," added Fraser.
"He is a fine athlete with a strong, easy action that allows him to bowl with good pace. James is extremely ambitious and is the sort of character that fits what Middlesex are looking for."
About 300 adults and children regularly take part in two free timed runs organised by Parkrun UK in Little Stoke Park, near Bristol, on Saturdays.
Parkrun's ethos in the 850 runs it organises in 12 countries is for the event to be free and open to everyone.
Stoke Gifford Parish Council said it was "unfair" to expect non-running residents to pay for path maintenance.
Parkrun UK organisers have warned the event, in Little Stoke, south Gloucestershire, that has attracted 4,083 registered runners, would end if a charge was imposed.
Helen Hood, head of event delivery, said: "Every Parkrun worldwide is built on a few fundamental principles - led by the local community, free to participants, and accessible to everyone who wants to take part.
"If Stoke Gifford Parish Council decides to impose any type of charge or levy on participants to run in the park then the event would sadly not be able to continue."

Q&A: The Parkrun phenomenon
The Little Stoke Park event's co-director, Becky Bushnell, added: "It's a daunting prospect but this has been hanging over us for six months and we need to know if there's a future for us in the park."
Reacting on Facebook, Helen Durnford said on BBC Radio Bristol's page it would be "completely wrong" to have to pay for Parkrun.
"Health benefits are huge for physical and mental wellbeing and the parish council should recognise that for the people that live in their area," she added.
Matt Burden added on the same page that it was "short sighted in the extreme" and Becky Mear asked: "Perhaps this parish council doesn't realise it's responsible for community building and for health and well-being?"
The parish council said in a statement it "cannot and will not stop people from using the parks for exercise and running but when it comes to an organisation with paid directors, fundraisers and sponsors it would be unfair to expect the residents to pay."
On Tuesday the announcement of the Commission's legislative programme for next year will provide the opportunity to talk of a new start.
However, events at last week's two-day meeting may cast a long shadow.
On Wednesday, MEPs will get a chance to react to the failure to reach a compromise with Belgium's Wallonia region over an EU trade deal with Canada.
The agreement, known as CETA, was due to be signed this week after seven years of negotiations.
Last-ditch talks are being made to salvage the deal, but its future is hanging in the balance.
With it, trade talks with the United States, Japan - and potentially a post-Brexit UK - face an uncertain fate.
Also on Wednesday, MEPs are due to take their position on next year's EU budget ahead of a looming December deadline.
Here are the main events coming up this week...
The sitting starts with a debate on new rules to harmonise penalties against firms that break EU customs law.
The EU Commission has argued that an agreed scale for penalties would provide a level playing field for companies.
MEPs will set out their "first reading" position on the regulations on Tuesday.
After this they will discuss what the EU's diplomatic strategy should be with Iran following the landmark nuclear deal agreed last year.
A draft motion to be voted on during Tuesday calls for the bloc to explore ways of boosting economic links with the country.
However it also says Iran's human rights record could present "obstacles to trade".
The evening will see short debates on six advisory "own initiative" motions on EU policy ideas.
Among the ideas being debated this month is a motion backing an EU strategy to boost imports of liquefied natural gas (LNG).
The morning sitting will kick off with a debate on an advisory motion calling for an EU monitoring system of fundamental rights breaches in member states.
Under the scheme, the Commission would issue annual "recommendations" to national governments on their respect for EU fundamental rights.
It comes amid an ongoing EU probe into respect for the rule of law in Poland.
At lunchtime MEPs will vote on an amending budget to increase security spending at EU buildings by a total of €15.8m this year.
It includes money for 35 new recruits at the European Parliament, exempted from the institution's target to cut staff by 5% by the end of 2018.
The extra money was proposed following a review after recent terror attacks in Paris and Brussels.
They will also decide whether to grant immunity to ex-UKIP MEP Jane Collins in the libel case brought against her by three South Yorkshire Labour MPs.
The MPs took her to court after she claimed in 2014 that they had known about child exploitation in Rotherham but did not intervene.
Parliament's legal affairs committee has recommended not doing so, arguing that the comments did not relate to her role as an MEP.
In the afternoon, a commissioner will join MEPs to debate the EU executive's legislative plans for next year.
Ahead of the vote on Wednesday, they will also debate their position on next year's EU budget, which has to be agreed by December.
As per tradition, their draft motion proposes reversing cuts demanded by national governments.
It also calls for increasing spending on EU economic development schemes and programmes to help with mass migration.
In the evening the Commission will present its new plan for a common system to calculate corporate tax payments due by multinationals across the EU.
Plans for a Common Consolidated Corporation Tax Base (CCCTB) were originally put forward in 2011 but were blocked by member states.
Jean-Claude Juncker and Donald Tusk are due to speak during a debate on last week's EU leaders' summit in Brussels.
The summit was overshadowed by failure to reach agreement with Belgium's Wallonia region over the signing of an EU trade deal with Canada.
Belgium, the only country blocking the accord, needs consent from Wallonia's regional parliament before it can sign.
It leaves the credibility of the EU as a trade negotiator in doubt, with trade talks with the United States also on rocky ground.
During the lunchtime voting session, MEPs will also vote on a motion calling for a mandatory EU-wide limit on the amount of trans fats in foods.
The fatty acids, often found in partially hydrogenated vegetable oils (PHOs), have been linked to an increased risk of heart attacks.
Denmark, Austria, Hungary and Latvia have all placed national limits on the trans fats in oils and fats.
PHOs are also due to be banned in the US by June 2018.
However the motion will not be binding on the European Commission, which would need to propose legislation to introduce the limit.
The afternoon will see a series of external relations debates on relations with Belarus, Afghanistan and the situation in Iraq.
It comes after government and Kurdish forces began a long-awaited operation last week against so-called Islamic State (IS) group in the northern city of Mosul.
They will also debate the arrest of journalists and closure of media organisations following the failed coup in Turkey.
The morning sitting opens with a debate to mark the 20th anniversary of the European Volunteering Service (EVS).
MEPs will debate a non-binding motion calling on the EVS to drop its age limit for volunteers.
It also urges the EU Commission to set up a scheme allowing volunteers to gain formal recognition of their skills to help them find jobs afterwards.
A second non-binding motion to be debated during the morning calls for Common Agricultural Policy funds to be directed at smaller farms.
It notes that just 13% of beneficiaries received 74% of all funding during 2014.
A third and final motion to be debated in the morning calls for the next version of the EU's Youth Strategy to focus on tackling youth unemployment.
It says more investment should be made in vocational training teaching skills that "reflect labour market opportunities".
There will be no human rights motions at the voting session, with this having been done at the first of this month's plenary sittings.
Please note: This agenda is subject to modification at the opening of the session on Monday afternoon.

The Wales and British and Irish Lions full-back, 28, is out of contract after three seasons with French side Toulon.
"I'm not sure how the Blues are feeling, because they were the ones that I thought were going to sign him with the WRU," Davies said.
"So I'm sure they're not very happy with the whole situation."
Halfpenny left Blues for Toulon ahead of the 2014-15 season and his former side had been keen to bring him back to Wales when his Toulon deal ended this summer.
Blues chief executive Richard Holland said the deal had foundered over the length of the National Dual Contract [NDC] on offer.
But Halfpenny now seems set to accept an NDC with Scarlets, who it is thought will pay 40% of the contract with the Welsh Rugby Union footing the other 60%.
"I'm not sure what happened there but it seems the Scarlets have sneaked it under their noses," Davies added.
"Scarlets by winning the Pro12 would have been a bigger incentive maybe to go there.
"He's a Gorseinon boy so he'll be moving closer to home, so you can see the attraction there.
"It's a great move for Scarlets and it's great for Welsh rugby, because you want to see your best players playing at home."
Halfpenny would be a straight replacement at Scarlets for Liam Williams, who has joined Saracens and outshone him at full-back for the Lions in New Zealand.
But Halfpenny remains one of the best goal-kickers in world rugby, although it is thought that his limited availability this season for club rugby also made him a less attractive option to many English and French clubs.
He will have to sit out the start of the season because of his participation on the Lions tour, and then will also be absent on Wales duty.
"Although it's a good marquee signing, it all depends on how many games he's going to play in the year as well," Davies added.
"He'll be resting from the Lions and then you've got the November internationals and the Six Nations.
"It'll be interesting to see the value the Scarlets get out of him."
Lynn Strachan said her father Jim Robertson went to stay in Bob Scott's Bothy on the Mar Lodge estate.
She told the BBC they had not heard from the 61-year-old since Monday and said the family was going through an "absolutely hellish" wait for news.
Mountain rescue teams resumed their searches on Monday morning.
Mr Robertson, an experienced hillwalker who has climbed all 284 Munros, was planning to climb mountains close to the bothy.
About 85 mountain rescuers from the Braemar, Cairngorm and Aberdeen teams searched the area. Search and rescue dogs and the Coastguard helicopter were also involved in the operation.
Ms Strachan said her father left his home in Glasgow on Monday and boarded a bus at the Buchanan Street bus station.
Police have found since his belongings in the bothy.
Ms Strachan said: "We're just terrified and it's made worse by the fact that there's nothing we can do, so it's just a waiting game for us. We're just relying on the experts who are at the scene.
"We're extremely grateful to everything that they've done so far and everything they're still doing now."
Ms Strachan said she wanted anyone who thought they may have seen her father to get in touch with police.
"Because we don't know what mountain he's on we really just need anyone who's been on the Cairngorms who may have seen him to come forward," she said.
"If anyone has been up in the mountains and seen a lone walker in any area we would really urge them to contact the police straight away so that they can narrow their search and start looking in the right place for him."
Mr Robertson is described as 5ft 10in tall, medium build with short grey hair and wearing glasses. He may have been carrying a large rucksack.
A spokesman for the Braemar Mountain Rescue Team said: "There is an ongoing search for an overdue 61-year-old walker named Jim Robertson who was staying at Bob Scott's bothy during the week.
"If anyone has been out walking in the southern Cairngorms, particularly hills accessible from the bothy, and think they may have met or seen this lone walker please get in touch with us."
Carney, 28, who denied the charge but was found guilty by the Rugby Football League, was also fined £300.
He will miss Salford's trip to Leeds Rhinos on Friday and the visit of Warrington Wolves on Saturday 4 March.
Meanwhile, Rhinos second row Jamie Jones-Buchanan, 35, pleaded guilty to a charge of of Grade A dangerous contact and was fined £300 by the RFL.
Neither player was initially cautioned by match officials during their respective Super League games.
Carney's Salford won 30-20 at Huddersfield, while Jones Buchanan's Leeds beat Leigh 17-14.
On Wednesday, the UUP announced the names of two new MLAs, Adrian Cochrane-Watson and Neil Somerville.
They are replacing the party's two new MPs, Danny Kinahan and Tom Elliott.
On Thursday night, the SDLP will pick a replacement MLA for its party leader.
Dr Alasdair McDonnell is resigning from the assembly on Sunday to concentrate on his role as an MP.
It is thought the Belfast councillor Claire Hanna will get his job as a South Belfast MLA.
Stormont's co-option system was introduced because holding a by-election could change the party political balance within a six-member constituency.
That would happen if an MLA belonging to a smaller party within a particular constituency stepped down, and a subsequent by-election was won by the dominant party within that seat.
The system also avoids the expense of by-elections.
Current co-optees include Sinn Féin's Rosaleen McCorley, Chris Hazzard, Bronwyn McGahan, Maeve McLaughlin and Ian Milne.
The party also used the system to bring Megan Fearon, Máirtín Ó Muilleoir, Declan McAleer, Conor Murphy and Alex Maskey to the assembly.
The SDLP have co-opted Sean Rogers and Fearghal McKinney, the DUP have done the same with Gary Middleton, while the late independent MLA David McClarty was succeeded by Clare Sugden.
Sometimes co-opted MLAs are referred to as unelected politicians, but that is now becoming less straightforward.
Sinn Féin's Conor Murphy was elected as an MLA before handing his seat over to Megan Fearon.
Now he has been co-opted back in to the assembly to succeed Mickey Brady, who succeeded him as Newry and Armagh MP.
Similarly, Alex Maskey was originally elected in South Belfast, but now sits as a co-opted West Belfast MLA.
When Willie Hay, now Lord Hay, stepped down as an MLA and Stormont speaker, the DUP first replaced him with Maurice Devenney.
But shortly afterwards, they had to make a double co-option, with Gary Middleton stepping in to Mr Devenney's shoes.
The gang entered the house in Hampton Crescent at about 01:35 BST on Saturday.
They attacked the occupant with baseball bats and bars. He suffered fractures to his arm and leg.
Police said a number of other people who were in the property at the time were not hurt.
The PSNI have appealed for anyone with information to contact them.
He was a 14-year-old farm labourer at the start of World War II when his boss delayed paying him and eight others.
Taking matters into his own young hands he led a protest on the Sussex farm and successfully demanded the money.
More than 70 years later, he faces a more fearsome challenge in the High Court as he tries to force police to destroy secret records held on him.
The 86-year-old used the Data Protection Act to discover the National Public Order Intelligence Unit (NPOIU) had kept records of his peaceful attendance at 55 demonstrations between 2005 and 2009.
He claims they recorded masses of "trivial" data about him, including that he carried a sketch pad and whether he had shaved or not.
He has now been granted permission to take his case to the High Court.
NPOIU said it would be inappropriate to comment in light of the ongoing legal process.
The demonstrations, mainly outside an arms factory in Brighton with his daughter Linda, were the latest in a long line of protests which began with defiance on a Sussex farm.
Recalling the incident, Mr Catt said: "The owner was a terrible man, a tyrant who used to rant and rave.
"It was raining hard and we were soaked. I demanded he paid the men, who were a lot older than myself.
"There was so much electricity running through me at the time the owner eventually paid the eight of us."
His taste for standing up to authority continued when he was enlisted into the RAF during the war.
After landing what he described as a "plum job" working in the briefing room of RAF Tangmere, near Chichester, he protested to his superiors over the "dirty and filthy" conditions of the sick bay.
His outburst saw him confined to barracks for a month as punishment for insubordination.
"That's what first got me into the bad books of the authorities," he said.
Mr Catt's life after the war reads like a potted history of modern political protest.
He took part in demonstrations over nuclear weapons, the Vietnam war, perceived racism by the Metropolitan Police in the 1980s and poll tax.
More recently he protested over the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the increase in tuition fees.
As an accomplished artist he was recorded several times by police for sketching the protests, a hobby he has pursued since he was a young child.
"Protesting makes me feel twice as young," he said.
"There's very few of my age group - the protesters are young people and it's their future not ours.
"I never feel that I'm too old for it - on the contrary I try to embody the rights of humanity and combine it with my art.
"You put uniforms on people and they carry out orders without question."
Linda Catt, who is also a peace activist, said her father was a "great source of inspiration" and his High Court challenge was the first of its kind.
"He gets his energy from his conviction about life," she said.
"He's been a rebel all his life and he will be to his last days.
"We're currently waiting for a date for the hearing and we've been warned the case could take two years at least."
Mr Cameron has said that he will not seek a third term but some have suggested he may have to quit sooner, if the UK votes to leave the EU.
While he is campaigning to stay in, many Tories are on the opposite side.
Mr Osborne, a likely future leadership contender, told ITV he did not envisage a contest until close to 2020 "when David Cameron says he wants to go".
Interviewed on ITV's Peston on Sunday, he denied being preoccupied by thoughts of becoming the next Tory leader.
"There will be a leadership election at the end of this decade, we've got a lot of work to do before then," he said.
"I fought very hard to get my friend elected as leader of the Conservative Party, then elected as the prime minister of this country and I'm very happy being part of that team that is bringing about this change to this country."
He added: "It will be the end of this decade in my view, when David Cameron says he wants to go."
Mr Cameron, who became prime minister at the head of a coalition government in 2010, will by then have served nearly two full terms in office.
He ruled out a third term before the 2015 general election, telling the BBC: "I've said I'll stand for a full second term, but I think after that it will be time for new leadership.
"Terms are like Shredded Wheat - two are wonderful but three might just be too many."
He named Mr Osborne, Home Secretary Theresa May and outgoing London mayor Boris Johnson as potential successors at the time.
But his position at the forefront of the campaign for the UK to remain in the European Union has meant some have questioned whether he can remain in the job if the 23 June referendum delivers a "Leave" result. The prime minister has said he will stay on, even if he ends up on the losing side.
But former chancellor Ken Clarke, a veteran pro-European Conservative, has suggested Mr Cameron "wouldn't last 30 seconds if he lost the referendum", predicting the party would be "plunged into a Conservative leadership crisis". And UKIP leader Nigel Farage told the BBC last week he did not think Mr Cameron would remain PM if the UK votes to leave.
Others campaigning for the UK to leave, say Mr Cameron should stay regardless of the result. Commons leader Chris Grayling said in April: "It would be disastrous, in my view, for the Leave cause if we vote to leave and then we get distracted by a Conservative leadership contest. " Former Conservative leadership contender David Davis has said he believes Mr Cameron could stay on, but would not be able to lead exit negotiations.
Her BMW was spotted by police on the M1 northbound in Northamptonshire, near the Watford Gap services on Sunday.
"Just found a car parked in lane three of the M1, waiting for her husband to be sick in the roadworks," officers wrote on Twitter.
The woman was "given advice" by police who issued a warning to other motorists to "never stop in live lanes".

East Midlands officers were alerted after receiving reports of a "pedestrian in the roadworks".
"When we got to the scene we found a woman was parked in lane three of the carriageway and her husband had got out as he was feeling unwell," a spokesman said.
She had stopped in an area where there are roadworks and no hard shoulder, but police warned "motorists must wherever possible pull in to an area of safety and should not just stop in the carriageway as clearly that could cause an accident or tailbacks".
The woman was told to drive the five miles (8km) to the services and her husband was transported there in a police vehicle.
It said investing in the sector made no sense given that smoking killed some six million people a year.
The move by Axa is an attempt to support government efforts to reduce the number of people who smoke.
Tobacco companies last week lost a High Court challenge to plain packaging for cigarettes sold in the UK.
A major health insurer, Axa said its role was increasingly about prevention rather than cure.
Its announcement coincides with the annual World Health Assembly in Geneva, where World Health Organization member nations meet to discuss global public health policy.
The Axa Group, which manages assets worth €1.36 trillion, will sell its €184m of shares in tobacco companies, and tobacco industry bond holdings that are valued at almost €1.6bn.
However, that accounts for just 0.6% of its corporate bond holdings.
Some ethical investment funds have shunned tobacco shares for some time now. The big US pension fund Calpers decided more than a decade ago not to buy shares in tobacco companies, but Axa seems to be the first major European institutional investment fund to pull out of the sector.
Selling €1.7bn of shares and bonds will be a significant disposal. Cynics might say it is a good time to sell following a sustained rise for tobacco shares. Yet Axa is clear that, as a health insurer, holding tobacco investments is no longer justifiable.
With two tobacco companies - British American Tobacco and Imperial Brands - in the FTSE 100, many private investors will be indirect holders through tracker funds. The question now is whether other shareholders, large or small, will follow Axa's lead.
Incoming chief executive Thomas Buberl said that although the decision would cost Axa money, it would generate savings by resulting in fewer claims for tobacco-related diseases.
"The business case is positive," he said. "It makes no sense for us to continue our investments within the tobacco industry. The human cost of tobacco is tragic - its economic cost is huge."
Mr Buberl said Axa wanted to send a signal to other institutional investors and encourage others to follow suit.
The WHO estimated that eight million people a year will die of smoking-related diseases by 2030, mostly in developing countries.
Cary Adams, chief executive of the Union for International Cancer Control, said: "We need companies like Axa to signal that investing in an industry which kills its customers is simply the wrong thing to do, and this announcement ... is a milestone step in the right direction."
The Bank of Scotland PMI found business activity weakened in November, with a slight decline in new order intakes.
Survey data also pointed to the first reduction in workforce numbers since June, although the rate of job cutting was "only slight".
The report said that reduced demand hit the services sector in particular.
Service providers recorded a moderate decline in business activity during the month, while production growth was registered in Scotland's manufacturing sector.
Firms also reported a further sharp increase in input prices.
According to PMI panel members, fuel price increases, higher wages and unfavourable exchange rates were some of the factors behind rising average cost burdens.
Companies raised their output charges for the fourth month in a row but the increase was moderate.
Nick Laird, from Bank of Scotland Commercial Banking, said: "With job cuts evident for the first time since June and input costs such as fuel prices, higher wages and foreign exchange rates increasing, companies will be looking for a pick-up in new business in the new year to help rejuvenate the sector."
Mark Williams was speaking ahead of the party's spring conference in Swansea this weekend.
The Welsh Lib Dem are defending 75 of Wales' 1,254 council seats in May's elections having gained councillors since the 2012 poll.
The party has been part of a Conservative-led coalition running Monmouthshire over the past five years.
"This conference will set out our commitment to the communities of Wales for the upcoming elections in May," Mr Williams said.
"The Liberal Democrats are the champions of community politics, standing up in the best interests of our communities at every turn.
"This conference will show that we have the ideas, the drive, and the passion to deliver better public services and a more accountable politics."
The Liberal Democrats won 72 council seats in Wales five years ago - down from 164 in 2008 - in the first set of national elections held after the party formed a coalition with the Conservatives at Westminster in 2010.
Since 2012, the party has made a net gain of three council seats as a result of by-elections and defections.
In the 2015 general election, the Liberal Democrats lost two Welsh seats leaving Mark Williams as the party's only MP from Wales.
The 2016 Welsh Assembly election saw Kirsty Williams return to Cardiff Bay as the party's only assembly member after four of her colleagues lost their seats.
Ms Williams was appointed to the Labour-led Welsh Government as education secretary.
She will address the conference on Saturday although the party's UK leader, Tim Farron, will not be attending.
Despite electoral blows in recent years the Liberal Democrats have made several by-election gains since the EU referendum.
Brexit will be high on the agenda this weekend as the party hopes to attract voters who wanted the UK to remain part of the EU.
"We come together after a difficult year for progressives, to reunite, to rebuild, and to look ahead to the future of progressive, liberal politics in Wales and the UK," Mr Williams said.
"We are more determined than ever to fight for an open, tolerant and united country where everyone has the opportunity to succeed."
"To come back after so long away and be so warmly received means so much," she said.
The star, who closed the show by performing When We Were Young, also received best British single and the Global Success award.
The show also featured an emotional tribute to David Bowie, led by Annie Lennox and his friend Gary Oldman.
Lennox called Bowie, who died of cancer last month, "a quintessential visionary" and "the ultimate iconoclast."
Oldman then accepted a Brits icon award on behalf of the singer and his family.
"David you were mortal, but your potential was superhuman," he said, "and your music lives on".
Bowie's band then performed a medley of his hits, before New Zealand singer Lorde joined them to sing Life On Mars.
The tribute won positive reviews from fans and critics.
Bowie's film director son Duncan Jones also approved.
The ceremony was opened by Coldplay, who gave a colourful, floral performance of their single Hymn For The Weekend, showering the audience with confetti petals as they played on one of two separate stages at London's O2 arena.
They went on to win best British group - making them the most successful band in the ceremony's history.
Chris Martin and co now have nine trophies to their name, although the figure pales in comparison to Robbie Williams' 17 awards (12 as a solo artist and five with Take That).
Other awards went to James Bay, for best male, and Australian psych-rock band Tame Impala, who picked up best international group.
Canadian singer Justin Bieber, who performed his chart topping singles Love Yourself and Sorry, won best international male.
"Man, I'm shaking right now," he said as he took the stage, thanking his fans for their support after a couple of years where he appeared to go off the rails.
"Life is a journey," he said. "Everyone has their ups and downs."
One Direction, who are officially on hiatus, also picked up best video for the space-themed Drag Me Down.
"We've been away for a little while, so it's been a bit like getting back on a bike tonight," said singer Liam Payne.
One Direction's victory in the fan-voted best video category robbed Adele of the opportunity to become the most-garlanded artist in a single Brits ceremony.
As it stands, her total of four awards is equalled only by Blur, who won the same number in 1995 for their album Parklife.
Adele became more emotional as the ceremony continued, bursting into tears after accepting the global success prize - which recognises success overseas.
"I got really lost for a while and I didn't know if I'd ever come back," she said, referencing the writer's block that delayed her much-anticipated third album.
"For you all to be so kind to me is so nice."
Earlier, the star used her best female victory speech to declare support for US pop star Kesha, who has accused record producer Dr Luke of sexual and emotional abuse.
Reflecting on her victory backstage, Adele told reporters: "I feel a bit worn out, emotionally. But it was absolutely incredible. I was hoping to win one but to get that many was amazing and very lovely. A nice return."
The ceremony, at London's O2 Arena, was broadcast live on ITV. You can also read live updates on the BBC News Website.
And the smartphone is to blame, says Dr Sharon McDonald, a reader in computing at the University of Sunderland.
"In theory, people can now make better use of what might have previously been 'dead time' - for example, making notes during the daily commute.
"Thus productivity apps tie in with the basic notion of increasing productivity by using one's time in a smarter way."
The sector is expected to be worth $58bn (£37bn) globally by 2016, according to app research firm VisionMobile.
And research from software company Salesforce.com last year suggested such apps can boost worker productivity by more than 34%.
But are they really more hype than help?
They're a "massive" waste of time, thinks Crawford Warnock, managing director of PR and communications agency, Firstname Communications.
"I have used Evernote, Outlook, reminders on the iPhone, Procraster and stacks of others. They all follow the same pattern - enthusiastic use and exploration followed by a moment of frustration, and then they fall off."
He is not alone in experiencing app exasperation. Yet others swear by them.
David Carr, strategy director at marketing and technology agency, Digitas LBi, says he is "addicted" to Evernote, the popular cloud-based app designed for note taking, archiving, and collaboration.
Having stuck doggedly with Delicious - the social bookmarking service - to store links to interesting articles, the experience became "so bad" that he fell into the arms of Evernote.
"Now I'm addicted to it. It has transformed how I capture thoughts, insights and articles. I've become a taxonomy geek happily tagging everything I come across for later recall."
There is discontinuity in how employees work as they move away from their desk
Mr Carr has set up nearly 2,000 tags for his saved content and expects to add many more.
"It lets me get on with the actual thinking and collaborating rather than chasing down elusive examples," he says.
But Jon Cunningham, consultant at business development agency, Hob-Nob New Business, takes an opposing view.
"Evernote became an unmanageable beast," he says. "Too many search variables, and too difficult to discern the important and urgent from everything else."
Instead, he was seduced by the charms of Trello, a project management app that uses "cards" and "boards" to segment projects and allocate tasks between colleagues.
It has won his heart - for now - chiefly enabling him to operate an "empty email inbox policy".
"I can forward emails to a Trello inbox then allocate the job to another person ...it's a much more useful tool for getting things done," he says.
Tom Roberts, managing director of Tribal Worldwide London, goes so far as to say that Trello runs his life.
"Right now, we have a large pitch on and we are using Trello to run and orchestrate the entire process. For me it's less about time saving, exactly, and more about achieving more during the working day."
But the smartphone has also become a double-edged sword, facilitating the "always on" culture and eating into our leisure time.
And Jonathan Green, a director at consultancy KPMG, says that while many productivity apps are "profoundly useful at an individual level", they have limited benefits for employees of larger organisations due to lack of integration with existing IT systems.
"It means there is discontinuity in how employees work as they move away from their desk," he says.
This lack of integration also raises data security issues, something LBi's Mr Carr acknowledges.
He says he and some of his colleagues are using the Evernote app via a personal, free or premium account, which has security implications because they are not specifically designed for business.
"While we wouldn't use the service for highly sensitive material, this does mean that non-critical information, even if it is raw notes, recordings or web links, is being stored on US servers."
This means the data could theoretically be nabbed by US authorities under the USA Patriot Act.
And with the recent decision by the European Court of Justice to tear up the Safe Harbour data-sharing agreement between the US and Europe, businesses need to be even more alert as to where and how their potentially sensitive data is being stored.
Despite such drawbacks, there is an undoubted thirst for tech that helps - or seems to help - make our working lives easier.
Take Slack, for example, a popular real-time messaging app that spans desktop and mobile.
Alex Hamilton, chief executive of Radiant Law, a corporate law firm with offices in London and Cape Town, says his firm adopted the app to help tackle the deluge of emails.
"We have pretty much got rid of internal emails," he says. "The ability to channel discussions is very powerful, and the ability for anyone to join open conversations has helped us really boost transparency across the firm.
"Most of all, it's just really easy to use and people like using it."
Fun and simplicity seem to be key to a productivity app's success.
"Like any good relationship, you have to commit fully to your chosen productivity app as it's easy to slip out of using it when the honeymoon period is over," says Jason Cartwright, boss of web development agency, Potato. He is a fan of both Trello and Slack.
But try telling that to Crawford Warnock. He maintains that his best investment has been a wallboard "and more pens".
The former Girls Aloud singer will play a feisty character who's going to make life difficult for troublemaker Tracy Barlow.
She said: "I am excited to be joining Coronation Street. As a fan of the show it is a huge honour for me to join the cast. I can't wait to get started."
Filming for Harding's part will start in May.
The 33-year-old has appeared in films like St. Trinian's, St Trinians 2: The legend of Fritton's Gold (she sang three tracks on the film's soundtrack), Run for Your Wife and Bad Day.
She's also been in BBC television film Freefall as well as taking part in gymnastics competition Tumble and modelling lingerie for Ultimo.
Corrie producer Stuart Blackburn said: "Sarah is proving to be a gifted and exciting actor and I'm absolutely delighted to have her on board, the viewers are in for a treat as her character will be right at the heart of a massive new story for the Barlows."
Harding was part of Girls Aloud from 2002 until they split up after a worldwide reunion tour in 2013.
The star went into rehab in 2011 for depression and alcohol addiction and was banned from driving in 2013 for six months for swerving into the path of a policeman on a bicycle in London.

Last year, the RSPCA had to rescue more than 3,000 rabbits and almost 1,000 of them had been abandoned.
Some pet shops are worried that at this time of year people might want to buy a rabbit, without understanding how much care they need.
So some stores are not selling rabbits over Easter to help stop this.
Ricky has been to an animal rescue centre to meet some rabbits and find out how much care they need.
Father Benedict Seed, 83, denies the charges, which include striking pupils aged between 11 and 18 with a cane and a spiked golf in the 1970s and 80s.
A trial date has been fixed for 23 January for further investigations.
It also allows time to arrange for one witness to give evidence via a video link from Hong Kong.
Appearing at Inverness Sheriff Court under the name Thomas Seed, the former priest had his bail conditions continued.
Ms Hasina said their attempts to leave had made them "mentally sick".
Describing them as fortune-seekers, she said they should be punished alongside middlemen who arrange their travel.
Bangladesh and Myanmar have seen an exodus of people fleeing south by boat through the Bay of Bengal towards Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia.
Thousands of people - economic migrants from Bangladesh and Rohingya Muslims fleeing persecution in Myanmar - are thought to be stranded in boats.
Also on Sunday, several mass graves thought to contain bodies of migrants were found in Malaysia, authorities there said.
Ms Hasina said: "Side by side with the middlemen, punishment will have to be given to those who are moving from the country in an illegal way.
"They are tainting the image of the country in the international arena and putting their life into danger."
She said: "There is sufficient work for them; still they are leaving the country in such disastrous ways."
Ms Hasina said measures were needed to prevent migrants handing money to middlemen and "falling into a trap".
The prime minister was addressing senior labour and employment officials.
She said those trying to leave think they will "earn a huge amount of money if they go abroad", but this showed a "mentally sick" attitude.
In addition to migrants stranded at sea, thousands have landed in Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia.
Malaysia and Indonesia have agreed to stop towing boats out to sea and will provide temporary shelter to those who have landed. Thailand has only said it would stop rejecting boats.
On Sunday, Malaysian Home Minister Zahid Hamidi was quoted by Malaysia's Star newspaper as saying graves had been found in 17 abandoned trafficking camps near Padang Besar and Wang Kelian, close to the Thai border.
He did not know how many bodies had been recovered.
Several mass graves have also been found in Thailand along a route used to smuggle Rohingyas, but these graves would the first discovered in Malaysia.
An investigation by the BBC's Jonathan Head has found entire communities in Thailand helping the traffickers.
The Thai trafficking networks, he found, bought boatloads of migrants from other smugglers and held them in the jungle until their families paid a ransom. Many migrants are believed to have perished from disease or starvation.

The Scotch Whisky Association (SWA) and several European wine and spirits bodies are seeking a judicial review of the legislation.
They argue a law passed by the Scottish parliament last year on minimum pricing breaches EU trade rules.
Both the UK and Scottish governments are respondents in the court case.
The Alcohol (Minimum Pricing) (Scotland) Act 2012 was passed last May, as part of an effort to tackle alcohol misuse.
The Scottish government has said the minimum price would initially be set at 50p per unit, meaning the cheapest bottle of wine would be £4.69 and a four-pack of lager would cost at least £3.52.
The bill received royal assent on 29 June, but Scottish ministers have undertaken not to introduce the measures until after the Court of Session has made its ruling.
The UK government is currently consulting on introducing a minimum pricing policy in England and Wales.
Setting out SWA's case at the Court of Session, Aidan O'Neill QC argued the policy would hit poor drinkers.
He said health statistics showed that the problem of hazardous and harmful drinking was actually most common among the richer, rather than the poorer, sections of society.
Mr O'Neill said: "What one can draw from that is that hazardous and harmful drinkers are more likely to be found in the rich, rather than among the poor, and the rich, by definition, have more disposable income.
"Therefore a pricing measure which targets cheap alcohol is one ... that can be avoided by the rich.
"If you target hazardous and harmful drinkers then a pricing measure which prices up cheap alcohol and only cheap alcohol is not one which in fact is going to make that target, because it can be avoided because the rich have more money and they can afford the pricing increase.
"What this measure does is it targets poor drinkers."
In November, the European Commission voiced opposition to Scotland's plans for minimum pricing, describing them as a disproportionate response to the country's drink problems.
The commission also said it believed the move could restrict imports of foreign alcohol.
Mr O'Neill argued that the commission's opinion was "highly relevant" to the current case.
"It's not binding, but it's certainly an authoritative view of what European law requires," he said.
SWA has been joined in its legal action at the Court of Session by the European Spirits Organisation and European wine body Comite Vins.
They have argued that the law on minimum pricing would restrain trade and breaches the Act of Union, which stipulates there must be a common market across the UK.
However, the Scottish government believes the policy will save lives.
Eight days have initially been set aside for the court action.
Europol said thousands of vulnerable minors had vanished after registering with state authorities.
It warned of children and young people being forced into sexual exploitation and slavery by criminal gangs.
Save the Children says some 26,000 child migrants arrived in Europe last year without any family.
It is the first time Europol has given a Europe-wide estimate of how many might be missing.
What happens to lone child migrants?
Migration to Europe explained in graphics
"It's not unreasonable to say that we're looking at 10,000-plus children," Europol's chief of staff told the Observer newspaper.
"Not all of them will be criminally exploited; some might have been passed on to family members. We just don't know where they are, what they're doing or whom they are with."
Officials in Italy warned in May 2015 that almost 5,000 children had disappeared from asylum reception centres since the previous summer.
In October, the authorities in Trelleborg in southern Sweden said about 1,000 unaccompanied refugee children and young adults who arrived in the town in the previous month had since gone missing.
Confirming the overall estimate of missing minors, a Europol spokesman said a large proportion may have also disappeared after landing in Greece. The country is the first entry point for most of the 1 million migrants who arrived in Europe by boat in 2015, and authorities have been criticised for failing to register and check the arrivals.
Criminal gangs known to be involved in human trafficking in Europe are now targeting refugees, Europol said.
There are fears unaccompanied children and young people may be dragged into sex work, slavery and other illegal activity.
The International Organization for Migration (IOM) spokesman Leonard Doyle told the BBC the figure of 10,000 missing children was "shocking but not surprising".
He said it was "to be expected" that many of these would be caught up in exploitation.
"Let's hope now the EU puts the resources into finding these children, helping them and reuniting these children with their families."
The BBC's Europe editor Katya Adler exposed the plight of vulnerable children arriving in Italy in an investigation last year. Here is an extract:
Fabio Sorgoni works for the Italian charity On The Road. He told me that there is a very short window of time to provide unaccompanied minors arriving in Europe with a safe haven.
By law, they are allowed out of reception centres during the day, when they easily fall prey to organised crime or individuals looking to exploit them, he said.
Few Italian centres have enough translators who speak the children's languages. They do not employ staff experienced in spotting victims of sexual exploitation.
Feeling uncertain and unprotected, thousands of children have run away from Italian reception centres, disappearing on to the streets.
With no one stepping in or taking responsibility for them, they're left to fend for themselves - doing what it takes to survive.
The warning from Europol comes days after the UK government said it would accept more unaccompanied child refugees from Syria and other conflict zones, without giving numbers.
However, it said it would not be taking in vulnerable children who had already made it into Europe.
On Saturday, at least 39 migrants, including several children, drowned trying to cross the Aegean Sea from Turkey to Greece.
The IOM said on Friday that 244 migrants had drowned in the Mediterranean so far this year, out of 55,568 arrivals.
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.
Her live 14-minute set featured a medley of her hits and also a reunion of her group, Destiny's Child.
After admitting last week she mimed the US national anthem at President Obama's inauguration, critics were keen to scrutinise Beyonce's show.
But the New York Times was one of many that said she had now "silenced her doubters".
"She balanced explosions and humanity, imperiousness with warmth, an arena-ready sense of scale with a microscopic approach to the details of her vocals," wrote Jon Caramanica.
"Amid all the loudness were small things to indicate Beyonce was answering her sceptics, quietly but effectively. Beyonce the machine had made her point. This was proof of life."
Dressed in a black leather mini dress, the singer kicked off the show with a blaze of flames while she sang a brief a cappella version of her single Love on Top before launching into mega hit Crazy In Love.
Billboard Magazine said the performance was "easily one of the best ever" half-time shows.
"She strutted towards the front of the stage in her black leather dress and booties looking like Catwoman, it was obvious that it likely would be the last time she did anything at medium pace," Brad Wete said.
After stripping down to a leotard, she also performed tracks End of Time, Baby Boy and Halo, while her Destiny's Child band mates joined her on stage to give renditions of Bootylicious, Independent Women Part I and Single Ladies.
The Washington Post said the show was "the sexiest Super Bowl half-time since 2004" when the infamous Janet Jackson "wardrobe malfunction" occurred.
Since that event, organisers had opted for "safer" rock acts from the likes of Sir Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen and The Who, until last year when Madonna landed the gig.
The New York Daily News praised the show saying: "Beyonce gave an absolutely live Super Bowl halftime performance that killed."
"Given both Beyonce's persona and talent, only a fool would have bet against her at this particular event. It's hard to think of a star better suited to the Super Bowl than she is."
The Los Angeles Times agreed the singer had succeeded in "shutting everybody up".
"The artist who dubbed herself Sasha Fierce made many musical arguments. None involved submitting to doubters," Randall Roberts said.
Jerry Shriver from USA Today described the show as a "dynamic half-time performance that apparently sucked all of the power out of the Superdome" - in reference to a power cut during the game shortly after Beyonce's set.
However Shriver's colleague Chris Strauss said the set "seemed perfunctory" to the football fans in the stadium.
"While viewers at home seemed pleased by the 12-minute set, it was hard for fans in the stadium to experience the same kind of HD clarity, audio superiority and multi-angle close-ups that the CBS broadcast audience could," he said.
"The performance wasn't designed for the people in the crowd. While the energy among the hundreds of fans ushered in along the field for the performance might have been different, fans up top didn't seem to have much reaction."
It is thought more than 100 million people would have watched the half-time show, although final figures have yet to be released.
After the performance, Beyonce also announced the details of a new world tour.
It will begin in Belgrade, Serbia, on 15 April before heading to the UK for six dates, including four nights at London's O2 Arena.

That's the dramatic headline in today's Belfast Telegraph.
Days after the UK's terror-threat level was raised to critical, the paper has sent a reporter to test the defences at various visitor attractions in Belfast.
The paper says it found "worrying security lapses" as a result of its experiment, which involved the journalist carrying a large rucksack similar to that used by Salman Abedi to carry explosives to the exit of the Ariana Grande concert.
Allan Preston writes: "Yesterday afternoon, this paper visited Titanic Belfast, the grounds of City Hall, the Odyssey pavilion and Victoria Square shopping centre.
"A black backpack was carried through the main entrances unchallenged and then left alone for around five minutes.
"On just one occasion, the bag was searched, by staff at City Hall."
He goes on to say that security guards were patrolling the Odyssey as the bag lay unattended.
Assistant Chief Constable Barbara Gary said: "The community in Northern Ireland should feel reassured that the police are deploying all available resources to deal with this threat, the threat of dissident republicans, and to continue to deliver a policing service to keep all communities safe."
A spokesperson for the Odyssey said: "We take the security of our customers extremely seriously," and a spokesperson from Titanic Belfast said they prioritised the security of its building, staff and guests.
Victoria Square were contacted but the Belfast Telegraph says they made no comment.
Also in the Belfast Telegraph is the claim that social workers were "warned repeatedly" about a teenager who died in a suspected drugs incident last weekend.
Caitlin White, 15, was found unconscious in a wooded area near Portadown.
A spokesperson for the Southern Health Trust said they had "no comment at all" to make.
On the front of the Irish News is a photograph of wooden pallets stacked in the back gardens of a row of houses.
The paper reports that the materials were being collected for bonfires, but it says that last night the supplies were due to be moved over concerns about safety.
That's after a row of terraced houses caught fire close to a large bonfire in the lower Shankill area last year.
On page three there's the news that Northern Ireland's Attorney General might feature in a landmark ruling on humanist wedding ceremonies.
Belfast model Laura Lacole is challenging a refusal to officially authorise the ceremony at her wedding to Republic of Ireland footballer Eunan O'Kane next month.
John Larkin is now confirmed to have entered an appearance under a notice of devolution.
This means he could now make submissions when the hearing gets under way today.
The News Letter carries the same story on the humanist wedding debate - but leads with a different marriage story.
'Scotland church edges towards gay marriage' is the headline on the front page.
The story looks at a debate in the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland about whether there may be a way that same-sex marriage could be allowed in church.
The proposal was outlined in a report by the Theological Forum of the Church of Scotland, the News Letter reports.
The report also called for the church to apologise for its "history of discrimination against gay people".
In response to the debate, a spokesperson for the Presbyterian Church in Ireland told the paper: "Many people in the Presbyterian Church will be deeply saddened at today's development in Scotland, which, we believe, is at variance with the traditional biblical understanding of marriage." | 'Just how safe are we really?' | 40,056,052 | 780 | 11 | false |
Their annual report said fewer searches at Coldingley Prison, Bisley also resulted in more prisoners using legal highs, causing more bullying and debt.
Cuts also meant prisoners were locked in their cells for up to 15 hours.
HM Prison Service said its prisons had safe and decent staff levels and extra prison officers had been recruited.
Coldingley's Independent Monitoring Board (IMB), comprised of members of the public, said that in February 2015 it wrote to minister for prisons Andrew Selous to make him aware of its concerns.
"A particularly serious incident of vandalism of CCTV equipment, the subsequent discovery of homemade but dangerous weapons and of illegal drugs... followed a considerable reduction in the number of prison officers and other staff," it said.
In the year to 31 July, staffing levels were an "overriding factor" affecting operation of the prison.
"The time available for prison officers to interact positively with prisoners fell by the wayside," the report said.
"Fewer searches for mobile telephones, drugs and illegal items were carried out, as were fewer tests of prisoners for the presence of drugs."
The IMB said the removal of an additional pay allowance, intended to compensate for higher living costs in the area, made it more difficult to recruit prison officers.
Since the IMB raised concerns prison officers' overtime has been increased and staff from other areas of the UK have been moved to Coldingley and put up in local hotels.
A Prison Service spokesman said it was pleased the IMB report recognised the dedication of staff at HMP Coldingley and the opportunities provided for prisoners to develop their skills in preparation for release.
"We are determined to build on the hard work taking place at this prison, creating a regime that provides the right incentives for prisoners to engage in education and work," he said. | Staffing cuts led to an increase in illegal drugs and dangerous weapons at a Surrey prison, according to independent monitors. | 34,167,706 | 383 | 26 | false |
A year ago, Mr Corbyn was filmed sitting on the floor of a train he said was "ram-packed".
Virgin Trains then released CCTV images and footage it said showed the Labour leader walking past empty seats.
In the newly-released CCTV, people can be seen sitting on the floor between the carriages.
It was released by pro-Corbyn filmmaker Yannis Mendez, whose original film of the Labour leader sitting on the floor sparked the debate.
Mr Mendez made a request to Virgin for the CCTV in which he featured, and it has now been published by his Double Down News company.
The clash between the rail operator and Mr Corbyn's team took place during last summer's Labour leadership contest.
After Mr Corbyn used the overcrowding on the service to make his case for rail renationalisation, Virgin responded, saying he had walked past available seats and managed to find somewhere to sit later on.
On social media, where it has been shared thousands of times, supporters of the Labour leader have said the latest film backs up his comments about overcrowding on the London to Newcastle service.
"These are the CCTV clips Richard Branson didn't show you," the voiceover says, to footage of people sitting and lying on the floor between carriages.
The film also highlights that people could be seen sitting in some - although not all - of the apparently empty seats Mr Corbyn walked past.
When questioned by journalists at the height of the row last year, the Labour leader said he had been looking for two empty seats together so he could sit with his wife.
Virgin Trains has not disputed the service was crowded but said at the time it took issue with the suggestion Mr Corbyn had been unable to find a seat.
Neither Virgin Trains nor the Labour leadership have commented on the latest video.

The figure was calculated based on comments by FBI director James Comey, who said that the agency had paid more to get into the phone than he "will make in the remaining seven years" in his post.
That would make it the largest publicised fee for a hacking job.
Mr Comey added that it was "worth it".
The calculation was based on a projection of Mr Comey's annual salary which, in January 2015, was $183,300. This has been multiplied over the next seven years and four months that he remains in his job. The figure does not factor in pay rises or bonuses.
The FBI has never named the security firm or group of hackers that helped unlock the phone, but whoever it was provided either software or hardware that helped crack the four-digit identification number without triggering a security feature that would have erased all data after 10 incorrect guesses.
Mr Comey said that the same method could be used on other 5C iPhones running IOS 9 software.
According to research firm IHS Technology, there are about 16 million such phones in use in the US and more than 80% of them run iOS 9 software, according to Apple.
The case has been hugely controversial, largely because of the spat with Apple, which had been resisting a court order requiring it to write new software to allow officials to access Syed Rizwan Farook's phone.
Farook and his wife killed 14 in San Bernardino, California, in December. Both were shot dead by police.
The FBI argued that it needed access to the phone's data to determine if the attackers worked with or were supported by other people and were planning other targets.
It is unclear how much information has been gleaned since the phone was opened. Some US news outlets have reported that, so far, the FBI has not found anything of interest on the device.
The case has raised the debate over whether technology firms' use of encryption is a good thing for consumer privacy or damaging to public safety.
There is big money to be made from helping the authorities to find bugs in software.
Last year, Zerodium - a firm that negotiates bug bounties - offered $1m for a web-based exploit against iOS 9 and that bounty was subsequently claimed.
Rhodri Colwyn Philipps, 50, the 4th Viscount St Davids, allegedly called Ms Miller a "troublesome first generation immigrant" in the online post.
He denies three charges of making malicious communications, which also refer to a family from Luton.
His lawyer said the comments were "taken out of context".
Ms Miller fronted a successful legal challenge which, on 3 November, ruled the government must consult Parliament before formally beginning the Brexit process.
Westminster Magistrates' Court heard Lord St Davids posted on 7 November 2016: "£5,000 for the first person to 'accidentally' run over this bloody troublesome first generation immigrant."
The post allegedly added: "If this is what we should expect from immigrants, send them back to their stinking jungles."
The viscount is also accused of posting two messages on 11 September, in which he allegedly referred to immigrants as "monkeys".
Reacting to a story about the Sube family, who were involved in a row over housing, he said: "Please will someone smoke this ghastly insult to this country, why should I pay tax to feed these monkeys?"
Andrew Rinker, defending, said: "I think a lot of these comments are taken completely out of context, he calls his own daughter a little monkey."
Ms Miller is expected to give evidence when Lord St Davids, from Knightsbridge in London, faces trial on 10 July.
Guyana-born Ms Miller, 52, has previously spoken of online abuse she has received since spearheading the legal challenge.
She said in a radio interview that becoming the face of the court battle had resulted in her being "apparently the most hated woman in Britain".
They include Seamus Finucane, a Sinn Fein member and brother of the murdered Belfast solicitor Pat Finucane.
The BBC had challenged the ban.
The BBC cannot reveal full details of the charges in the case - but can reveal the names of those involved after reporting restrictions were lifted.
Mr Finucane, 55, is a member of Sinn Fein and a community worker in west Belfast.
The others include 53-year-old Padraic Wilson, who was the leader of the IRA in the Maze prison in the late 1990s and is currently Sinn Fein's director of international affairs.
Both men are facing charges of IRA membership and arranging, addressing or assisting in the management of an IRA meeting.
Another man, 48-year-old Martin Edward Morris, with an address in London, is also charged with membership of the IRA.
Two Belfast women are also facing charges.
Agnes McCrory, 72, from Dermot Hill Road, and 55-year-old Briege Wright from Glassmullin Gardens, are accused of membership of the IRA, and arranging, addressing or assisting in the management of an IRA meeting.
The two women and Mr Finucane are also charged accused of unlawfully forcing a person who cannot be identified to co-operate with an IRA investigation.
Lifting the restrictions, district judge Fiona Bagnall agreed with the BBC's argument that open justice was a cornerstone of the criminal judicial system.
Police said residents had to be evacuated from a property below when the blaze broke out in Shakespeare Street, Wallsend, late on Friday.
A woman was later arrested on suspicion of arson and is currently being interviewed by detectives from the Northumbria force.
Anyone with information is urged to come forward.
The figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) also showed the annual rate of sales growth slowed to 4.0% last month from 4.7% in May.
That was the slowest annual growth rate since September 2014, and was below analysts' forecasts.
However, the ONS said the annual growth rate was still "strong".
Sales volumes in the April-to-June quarter were up 0.7% from the previous quarter.
The value of online sales in June increased by 1.4% compared with May and accounted for 12.4% of all retail sales.
Howard Archer, chief UK and European economist for IHS Global Insight, said June's sales data was "a little disappointing" but added that the figures were "not a body blow to improved second quarter growth hopes".
He noted that retail sales volumes "still rose by a decent 0.7%" in the second quarter, suggesting consumer spending made "a healthy contribution to GDP growth".
Many analysts have been expecting retail sales to do well, with recent statistics showing wage increases are picking up while inflation remains near zero.
The ONS said average store prices were 2.9% lower in June compared with the same month a year earlier.
Ross Walker, senior UK economist at RBS, argued that sales volumes were being "flattered" by low inflation, and that sales values data painted "a much more subdued picture".
The value of sales in the second quarter rose 0.7% from the previous three months, and rose 1.3% from the second quarter of 2014.
"We are not suggesting that UK consumer demand is weak... merely that there is little evidence of demand accelerating to above-trend rates," said Mr Walker.
In the past week, the Bank of England governor Mark Carney has hinted that UK interest rates could rise "at the turn of this year", while minutes from the last meeting of Bank rate-setters suggested some members were close to voting for a rate rise.
However, Chris Williamson, chief economist at research firm Markit, said the dip in June's sales volumes and the fall in prices would strengthen the arguments for those arguing against a rate rise.
"It's always unwise to place too much emphasis on one month's data," he said.
"The retail sales fall nevertheless is a reminder that the policy outlook remains hugely uncertain."
In total £4m will go to 6,700 customers who were charged an "unreasonable" amount between 2003 and 2009.
The finance was provided by two firms, HFC and John Lewis Financial Services, who are now both owned by HSBC.
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) said only a small number were actually customers of John Lewis.
Others bought goods at a wide variety of retailers.
When these customers fell behind with payments, they were charged 16.4% of their outstanding balances as a debt collection fee.
The Office of Fair Trading (OFT) decided that such a charge was unreasonable back in 2010.
However, since then the FCA has calculated how many people are due compensation. On average they will receive about £600 each.
Customers affected will be contacted by HSBC directly.
The city's deputy commissioner of police, Vijay Singh, told the BBC that no arrests had been made yet.
The child is in intensive care after being found unconscious by railway tracks on Friday night. She had surgery for extensive injuries, doctors say.
The attack raises fresh questions over women's safety in Delhi after a 2012 gang rape and murder shocked the world.
The girl, who was found near her home in a poor neighbourhood in the north of the city, was slashed and had severe injuries on her body.
Her family allege she was lured with an offer of food or sweets by a group of men.
Delhi commissioner for women Swati Maliwal, who visited the child in hospital, described her injuries as "horrific".
At the scene: Vineet Khare, Keshav Puram, BBC Hindi
"What happened to us was bad, reprehensible," the victim's grandmother told me as she broke into tears.
She had her grandson of a few months clasped in her arm, while his five-year-old sister played nearby, unaware of the tragedy that befell her younger sibling last week.
The family lives in what resembles a small box, one of the hundreds lining a railway track, a familiar sight in urban India. To reach the house, one has to negotiate short, narrow alleys and clogged drains.
Locals said the incident happened across the railway track, a depressed piece of land littered with caked human faeces, where locals relieved themselves.
Most men in the area do small temporary jobs while women work as help in houses nearby. Shops selling liquor is a worry. The culprits were said to be drunk.
"Drunk men tease women when they go out to relieve themselves. There are no toilets," one woman said.
"We are worried about our children. We do not let them out for fear they might be taken away by unknown men."
The gang rape and murder of a student in 2012 in Delhi led to protests and new anti-rape laws in the country.
However, brutal sexual attacks against women and children continue to be reported across the country.
In 2014, a Delhi woman alleged that she had been raped by the driver of her Uber taxi.
In July, police arrested a man who confessed to sexually assaulting and murdering 30 children from in and around Delhi.
More than 1,500 cases of rape have been recorded by the police this year but there are believed to be many others which go unreported.
Scrum-half and surgeon Greg Nicholls, 32, and two physiotherapists used a defibrillator to resuscitate her.
The three members of Fylde Rugby Club had been waiting for a train from Preston to London ahead of Saturday's National League One game.
Dr Nicholls performed CPR and kept the woman alive until paramedics arrived.
The 66-year-old woman, who is believed to have suffered from a major heart problem, was taken by ambulance to Royal Preston Hospital.
She was transferred to Royal Lancaster Infirmary and is in intensive care.
Dr Nicholls, a paediatric surgeon at Royal Lancaster Infirmary who spent two years playing for Bristol in the top flight, was on his way to the platform when he heard pleas for help.
He rushed over to the woman with physios Meg Stewart and Greg Littler.
"A women had collapsed and was unresponsive, not breathing and had no pulse," he said.
"Meg, Greg and myself went over and started CPR. Fortunately, there was a defib machine on the wall. This meant we could give her a couple of shocks before the paramedics arrived.
"We continued CPR with the paramedics until she had a pulse and was stable enough to transfer to hospital."
Lancashire Ambulance Service said it responded to the incident at 09:05 GMT.
The Fylde group were able to board the train, which was held up during the emergency.
The club lost their match against Richmond 22-21 in London.
Michael Martin, of Shandon Court in Waterford, was arrested on Thursday after a Republic of Ireland-wide alert over the alleged attempted abduction of a child.
The offence is alleged to have taken place in Cullohill on Wednesday.
Portlaoise District Court heard Mr Martin had told police: "On my uncle Mick's life I abducted no-one."
Mr Martin said: "I was told in the interview room that the question to the girl was would she identify the man and I was told that she could identify no-one."
A police officer told the court he was opposing bail and asked that the defendant be remanded in custody.
Denying bail, the judge said the case was "one of the worst charges to come before this court".
Mr Martin was remanded in custody and will appear again in court on 13 March.
It has warned about the "unintended consequences" of a price cap on standard variable tariffs proposed by the Conservatives.
Some 70% of its 6.76 million UK domestic customer accounts could be affected by a cap, it said.
The company announced a 2.1% rise in adjusted pre-tax profits.
It made £1.5bn for the year to the end of March. Profit margin per dual fuel household customer - a key measure in the industry - was around 6.9% compared with 6.2% the previous year.
Dividend cover for the next financial year would be "within, but towards the bottom of the expected range of around 1.2 times to around 1.4 times", the company said, marking lower earnings per share compared with the previous year.
Regarding the proposed cap, SSE said it "would caution against potential unintended consequences of any proposed intervention in what is a rapidly changing and increasingly competitive market".
Industry figures have criticised the plan, saying it could lead to higher prices.
Prime Minister Theresa May said 17 million households would benefit by up to £100 from the cap on poor value standard variable tariffs.
SSE raised its electricity prices at the end of April by 14.9% for 2.8 million customers. With gas prices unchanged, the result was that a typical dual-fuel household would see its annual bill rise by 6.9%, or £73.
The number of SSE customers fell by 210,000 during the course of the last financial year, although the rate of decline has slowed.
Hang Yin Leung, 64, died in hospital on 11 February, 11 days after the raid in Orne Gardens in Milton Keynes.
A 22-year-old man from Northampton was arrested on suspicion of murder by Thames Valley Police on Sunday and released under investigation on Monday.
A man aged 18 from Redhill in Surrey, arrested on suspicion of murder last month, remains on bail.
Another arrested man was released with no further action.
Ofcom said the programme "included the most offensive language before the watershed" and would be investigated to see if it had breached its code.
The incident took place on 18 March as Irons recounted an anecdote involving fellow actor Sir John Hurt.
Evans immediately apologised, while Irons said he was "terribly sorry".
The Brideshead Revisited star attributed his slip to the fact that it was "so relaxed and so normal" in Evans' BBC studio.
"A little too relaxed maybe," said Evans, who went on to ask fellow guest Paloma Faith not to "make light" of the incident.
Ofcom confirmed the programme would be investigated in the latest issue of its broadcast and on demand bulletin.
"The guests were all briefed ahead of the programme to remind them they were taking part in a live broadcast," said a BBC spokeswoman.
"After Jeremy accidentally swore, both he and Chris immediately apologised to listeners."
The BBC has been told by EU sources that the talks will follow the EU's preferred pattern of exit negotiations first, with the future relations between the two sides at a later date.
The UK's Department for Exiting the EU said it still held the view that both withdrawal and future relations should be agreed at the same time.
Brexit negotiations are due to start on Monday in Brussels, but that will be the only day of talks next week.
The talks are set to continue every month throughout the summer.
The European Commission said "separation issues", such as citizens' rights and the UK's financial obligations, would be discussed first as part of its sequenced approach to talks.
That's what the EU always insisted on, the BBC's Europe correspondent Damian Grammaticas reports.
EU sources have told the BBC they believed the UK had understood this.
The sources said the EU hoped to move on to discussing a trade deal in October, if enough progress has been made.
Monday's talks between Brexit Secretary David Davis and EU negotiator Michel Barnier follow preliminary negotiations in Brussels between officials.
In a statement the European Commission said: "The opening of negotiations at political level next week will focus on issues related to citizens' rights, the financial settlement, the Northern Irish border and other separation issues, as part of the sequenced approach to the talks.
"Both sides will also discuss the structure of the negotiations and the issues that need to be addressed over the coming months."
A spokesman for Mr Davis's Brexit department said: "We have been crystal clear about our approach to these negotiations.
"As we set out in the Article 50 letter, our view is that withdrawal agreement and terms of the future relationship must be agreed alongside each other. We are clear this is what is set out in Article 50.
"We believe that the withdrawal process cannot be concluded without the future relationship also being taken into account.
"As the EU has itself said, 'nothing is agreed, until everything is agreed'."
The spokesman added that although some issues would be given early priority "the withdrawal and future are intimately linked".
"In particular, we want to move ahead on securing the rights of EU citizens in the UK and UK citizens living in the EU. We want to end the anxiety facing four million citizens.
"That has always been our first aim and that is what we will do."
David Davis has said the UK will pay what was legally due, in line with its rights and obligations, but "not just what the EU wants", following reports the "divorce bill" could be 100bn euros (£87bn).
Mr Barnier, the EU's chief negotiator, has said there was no desire to punish the UK but "its accounts must be settled".
"There is no Brexit bill. The final settlement is all about settling the accounts," he said last month.
In Prime Minister Theresa May's letter triggering Article 50, she states: "We believe it's necessary to agree the terms of our future partnership alongside those of our withdrawal from the EU.'
But European Council president Donald Tusk and other senior EU officials have consistently ruled out parallel talks.
Labour's Shadow Brexit secretary Sir Keir Starmer has written to David Davis urging him to "reset" the government's "belligerent and reckless" approach to leaving the EU.
In the letter, obtained by the Financial Times, Sir Keir warned that Theresa May's "inflexible" stance "makes a good deal for Britain less likely, not more likely".
He urged ministers to make jobs and the economy their priority in negotiations, echoing comments earlier by Chancellor Philip Hammond.
Sir Keir said the government should now drop their claim that "no deal is better than a bad deal" on Brexit, saying it had "never been a viable option".
"To threaten to jump off a cliff rather than to be pushed is not a viable negotiating strategy," he said.
Labour is seeking regular meetings with the most senior civil servant at the Department for Exiting the EU, saying it needs to be ready to take over negotiations at any stage if Mrs May's government falls.
Peter Jenkins was fined £1,400 and banned for 34 months after being caught on Wigtown Road in Newton Stewart.
It was based on his reading of 87 micrograms in 100 millilitres of breath being nearly four times the 22 limit.
However, the sheriff appeal court said that approach was "erroneous" and cut the ban to 22 months and fine to £900.
The limit in Scotland used to be 35 micrograms per 100 millilitres of breath - as it remains in England and Wales - but was cut to 22 micrograms in December 2014.
Jenkins was stopped by officers on mobile patrol in Newton Stewart on 29 September 2015 after they saw a vehicle swerving about on the A714.
He later admitted a drink driving charge at Stranraer Sheriff Court and was fined and banned.
The case was taken to appeal on the grounds that the length of the ban and the scale of the fine were "grossly excessive".
In a written judgement, the appeal court ruled the sheriff had been wrong to consider the seriousness of the offence in relation to the new limit.
"The gravity of the drink driving offence should be measured in objective, absolute terms rather than by considering the number of times by which a driver exceeds the limit," it said.
"It is fallacious to equate a reading of 87 in Scotland with one of 138 in England and Wales, when one driver is likely to be considerably more impaired than the other.
"The fallacy of the sheriff's approach can perhaps also be seen by considering what the approach would be were the limit to be reduced to zero (as some would advocate)."
It concluded that would make it "mathematically impossible" to view any offence as being a certain number of times more than the limit.
"A driver who has a reading of 87 micrograms of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath is clearly guilty of an offence and also poses a risk to public safety," it added.
"But that risk is no greater than it was when the prescribed limit was the previous higher breath alcohol limit of 35."
It reduced the original sentence and the ban could be reduced by a further five months if the driver completes a drink driving rehabilitation course.
A European qualifier and the winners of a play-off will join Scotland in their section at the tournament, which runs from 20 September to 2 November 2019.
Scotland coach Gregor Townsend insisted that Ireland were not necessarily the easiest of the four possible top seeds.
"Whoever we drew in the first set of teams was going to be very tough," he told BBC Scotland.
Drawing Ireland, world ranked four, meant the Scots avoided holders New Zealand, Australia and England.
Scotland, who beat Ireland 27-22 at Murrayfield at the start of this season's Six Nations and are presently ranked one place below them, had been in the second pot of seeds for the draw made in Japan.
"Ireland we know well and we know how good they are," said Townsend, who has taken over as coach following the end of his last season with Glasgow Warriors.
"They've really improved over the last few years, won the Six Nations last year, beat the All Blacks, beaten England this year as well.
"Whether it's better for us or Ireland that we know each other so well, we will find out in a couple of years' time."
It is the fourth time that the Scots have been drawn in the same pool as Japan and the sides faced one another in England two years ago.
The Scots then led by Vern Cotter beat the Cherry Blossoms 45-10 to finish runners-up in their group behind South Africa, but all three sides recorded three wins and a defeat after Japan shocked the Springboks.
"Obviously there's an excitement playing the host nation and it probably guarantees a sell-out game in that fixture and I'm sure there will be a lot of buzz in Japan around the group we're involved in," said Townsend.
"It will be hugely passionate and adds to the challenge for us to take on the host nation, but it's one we are looking forward to."
Japan, at 11th, were the second-highest ranked team Scotland could have faced out of pot three, with Argentina highest at ninth.
The Scots kept their unbeaten record at test level against the Cherry Blossoms intact with a 2-0 series win in Japan last year.
Japan coach Jamie Joseph said: "Japan haven't beaten Ireland or Scotland to date, so it is going to be a big challenge, but any group we got was going to be a challenge.
"We play Ireland in June, so it will give us a good understanding of their team."
Twenty nations will take part in the tournament and have been drawn into four groups of five.
The 12 teams who finished in the top three of their groups at the last World Cup automatically qualified for the event.
They were split into three bands based on their ranking, with eight more teams yet to be decided.
The All Blacks, England, Australia and Ireland were in band one, France, Scotland, South Africa and Wales made up band two and Argentina, Georgia, Italy and Japan are in band three.
The teams yet to qualify were in the two remaining pots.
Scotland will face the top qualifier from Europe, plus the winner of a play-off between the second top European team and the third from Oceania.
Pool A: Ireland, Scotland, Japan, Europe 1, play-off winner
Pool B: New Zealand, South Africa, Italy, Africa 1, repachage winner
Pools C: England, France, Argentina, Americas 1, Oceania 2
Pool D: Australia, Wales, Georgia, Oceania 1, Americas 2
Colombian Astana rider Lopez arrived alone at the 2,510m summit of the Alto Hoya de la Mora after overtaking Briton Adam Yates in the final kilometres.
Froome countered Vincenzo Nibali's move on the final climb and widened his advantage over him by six seconds.
He now leads the Italian Bahrain-Merida rider by one minute and one second.
Russia's Ilnur Zakarin moved up to third overall by finishing second behind Lopez, 36 seconds off the pace, with Wilco Kelderman third on Sunday's 129.4km ride from Alcala la Real.
Froome, once again helped to a strong finish by team-mates Wout Poels and Mikel Nieve, finished fifth, with Nibali seventh.
An exhausted Yates, who is yet to win a stage at a Grand Tour, was caught in the final 4km, almost coming to a halt as Lopez raced past him.
It was Lopez's second stage victory of this year's race, having also won stage 11, and he now moves up to sixth overall, two minutes and 51 seconds behind Froome.
The 23-year-old's supposed team leader, Fabio Aru, dropped to seventh as he lost more time on those around him.
"I slowed down when he came past me because I couldn't keep the pace. Maybe it was a bit early when I attacked but we gave it a shot," said Yates, who eventually finished 22nd, just behind his twin brother Simon.
"I tried my best so I can't be disappointed with that. I'm tired now but we will rest up and go again in a few days. It didn't work out today but I am sure it will in the future."
Monday is a rest day. Racing returns on Tuesday with a 40.2km time trial from Circuito de Navarra to Logrono.

Cars ran for just 15 minutes of three hours' scheduled practice because the medical helicopter could not operate.
Hamilton, who crossed the track to sign caps for fans in the grandstands, wrote on Twitter: "So sorry for all you watching on TV or at the track.
"We must find a solution to deal with the weather issue."
The three-time champion has proposed running practice on Saturday in Shanghai and switching qualifying to Sunday morning before the race in the afternoon.
And the Mercedes driver added that the problems could become an opportunity for F1's new owners, an American media conglomerate which bought the sport in January and removed long-time boss Bernie Ecclestone as chief executive.
"Seriously, though, this could actually be a blessing in disguise. A chance for new bosses to be proactive and creative," he wrote.
Of the two remaining days of the meeting, Saturday is forecast to have the best weather, with rain due overnight before Sunday.
The idea of moving the race to Saturday was discussed briefly by teams with Charlie Whiting, the F1 director of governing body the FIA, after second practice but was quickly dismissed.
Insiders said the weather forecast for Sunday "looks significantly better" than Friday's.
The issue on Friday was that the medical helicopter could not land at the designated hospital, which is more than 30 miles away from the Shanghai International Circuit.
Conditions at the track were poor, with low cloud, smog and mist, but helicopters could fly in its vicinity.
It is a fundamental safety requirement in F1 that the medical helicopter must be able to operate before cars are allowed to take to the track.
Four-time champion Sebastian Vettel of Ferrari, who is leading the championship after winning the first race of the season in Australia two weeks ago, said: "It was boring. It was a shame, especially of the people who came to watch. But what can we do?"
The Welsh youngster was on the show ahead of his appearance on US talent programme Little Big Shots, but, unlike other male performers, he turned up for his debut in full face make-up.
Not surprising then that, after his performance, Ellen wanted to talk not only about his singing but also about his perfectly contoured face, which had caused a problem with other boys in the past.
"Ever since I was eight, I was so interested [in make-up]," he said. "And I would watch my phone for hours on end just learning from tutorials, like blogs, and seeing how to do it.
"Before, I used to get bullied a lot. I had friends but not a lot. In my drama group I used to get hit, punched and kicked.
"I tried to brush it off but brushing it off doesn't work, so I stood up to them and I told my mum," Reuben explained.
The show's host Ellen DeGeneres praised him for his uniqueness and courage and presented him with a laptop, make-up and lights so he could start his own make-up tutorial channel on YouTube.
"Good for you for not stopping being who you are, that's really tough," she said.
"The fact that just because you want to wear make-up, that somebody thinks they have to hit you or even call you names, it's not hurting anybody, it's what you want to do. And you look fantastic."
Reuben's mum Vicky Thomas told the BBC she was very proud of her son.
"When he started doing make-up, people used to say to me I can't believe you let him do that, but he loves it and he is so passionate about it.
"If I didn't allow him to be who he is, he wouldn't be happy."
Men are making huge gains in the make-up industry. Brands including CoverGirl and Anastasia Beverly Hills now have male models to showcase their products.
Earlier this year Manny Gutierrez was hired as Maybelline's first male face to represent their brand.

Wa-ays Dhaye, from Slough, died in hospital following the assault at the junction of Thurston Road and Waterbeach Road, Manor Park, on Monday.
Thames Valley Police said he was on his way home from Notting Hill Carnival in London when he was set upon.
Det Chief Insp Simon Steel described the attack as "senseless and violent".
A post-mortem examination on Tuesday confirmed he died from multiple stab wounds.
Det Chief Insp Steel said Mr Dhaye had been walking alone when he became involved in an altercation with a group of at least three men.
He said it was not yet known how it came about, but added: "His family and friends deserve to know what happened to him and to see those responsible brought to justice."
Mr Dhaye, who was Somalian, had travelled from London to Slough railway station at about 22:30 BST.
He is thought to have walked home via the crossroads between Stoke Poges Lane, Oatlands Drive and Elliman Avenue, then into Mildenhall Road before reaching Thurston Road.
Supt Simon Bowden said his death had "understandably had an impact on the community in Slough" and said officers were continuing to carry out house to house inquiries in the area.
The force said the death was not linked to an assault that occurred in Salt Hill Park on Friday.
Sharapova, who returned in April after a 15-month doping ban, had been out with a thigh problem since 16 May.
The 30-year-old, given a wildcard to play in the United States for the first time since March 2015, was given a testing time in the first round.
"I feel like I just want to hug everyone and say thank you," said Sharapova, ranked 171st in the world.
"It's my first match in the States in a really long time, and it's the closest thing to home for me."
Sharapova was denied a wildcard for the French Open earlier this year, and was unable to take part in qualifying for Wimbledon because of injury.
Having missed the entire grass-court season, the five-time Grand Slam champion will not gain direct entry into the US Open, which starts on 28 August.
She will be eligible for qualifying but will need a wildcard from the United States Tennis Association if she is to automatically make the main draw.
Monday's match against American Brady lasted two hours and two minutes, and Sharapova will play Ukrainian Lesia Tsurenko in the second round.
"I feel like I face a lot of things: not competing for a long time, an opponent who's able to play some great tennis," said Sharapova.
"I feel like I'm playing catch-up against everyone who's had a head start.
"All that matters is that I keep playing. As long as I'm the one winning the last point, I get to play another match, and another.
"The more I play, the better I'll do. That's the goal."
Timothy Edwards, 48, from Surrey, pleaded guilty to one charge and was sentenced to two years in prison.
Edwards, who worked at Heathrow airport, received more than £22,000 for selling stories to a newspaper between 31 March 2008 and 1 July 2011.
Sam Azouelos, 35, from north London, admitted one count and is due to be sentenced on 4 July.
Azouelos, who admitted misconduct in public office between 3 July 2006 and 30 April 2010, was granted bail at the Old Bailey.
However, Judge Richard Marks QC warned that he too faced jail.
PC Timothy Edwards, who was sacked by the Met in 2013, provided up to 30 stories involving celebrities, drug smuggling and the behaviour of airline crew to a newspaper over a three-year period in exchange for money.
He took evidence from the police computer system, including crime reports and custody records.
The court heard how one woman - whose story was turned into a "smutty sex-laden scandal" - suffered such "severe emotional stress" she tried to take her own life.
Sentencing Edwards, from Lingfield, the judge told him he had been working for "two paymasters".
"Your case is a particularly serious one of its type, bearing in mind the number of stories involved, the amount of money you received and the period of time it went on," he added.
In June, the US International Trade Commission (ITC) ruled that Apple infringed a patent of rival Samsung.
President Barack Obama's trade representative then vetoed the decision because of its "effect on competitive conditions in the US economy".
South Korea said the move would affect the protection of patent rights.
It was the first time since 1987 that a presidential administration had vetoed an ITC import ban. The ban was set to take effect on 5 August.
The South Korean media denounced the US move as being "protectionism".
And the South Korean trade ministry said in a statement: "We express concerns about the negative impact that such a decision would have on the protection of patent rights."
It also called on the ITC and the Obama administration to make "fair and reasonable decisions".
Samsung now faces a decision on Friday to decide whether some of its phones and tablets infringed on Apple's patents and should be banned from imports into the US.
Apple and Samsung, the top two global smartphone makers, have been locked in a global patent war since 2011.
The now-overturned patent related to 3G wireless technology and the ability to transmit multiple services correctly and at the same time. The ITC ordered a halt on all imports and sales on AT&T-sold models of the iPhone 4, iPhone 3, iPhone 3GS as well as the iPad 3G and iPad 2 3G.
Some of those devices are no longer on sale in the US.
Free Syrian Army (FSA) fighters have reached the town centre and are working to find and clear mines, Defence Minister Fikri Isik told Turkish media.
Fighting has been reported elsewhere in the town, under siege since November.
Turkish troops, Kurdish fighters, the Syrian army and Russian planes have also been involved in the operation.
If al-Bab does now fall, it will represent another setback for IS, which has gradually been pushed back from the Turkish border since last August.
Turkey is also seeking to limit gains to the east by Kurdish forces.
"It's been a long time since we came to al-Bab but today we can say that near complete control has been taken of al-Bab and the city centre has been entered," Mr Isik was quoted as saying by Anadolu news agency.
"When the search and combing operations are over, we will be able to say that al-Bab has been completely cleared of Daesh [IS] elements. This does not need too much more time," he said.
An FSA fighter in al-Bab told Reuters news agency by telephone that the city centre had been reached on Wednesday but a suicide attack had forced the FSA fighters back.
Following a new push on Thursday, 85-90% of the town was under FSA control, he said.
"The whole of the city is mined," he said. "I can say that every metre is mined."
The IS news agency, Amaq, said there had been fierce fighting in al-Bab on Wednesday.
It referred to the battle for the town in the past tense, apparently acknowledging that it was over.
Situated just north-east of Aleppo, al-Bab has about 100,000 inhabitants in the centre and about 50,000 more living in the suburbs.
It fell to Syrian rebels in spring 2012 and was in IS hands by early 2014, when it became home to many foreign jihadists and their families.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said last year that the capture of al-Bab, the jihadist group's last major stronghold in Aleppo province, would be the prelude to taking Raqqa, seen by IS as its capital in Syria.
Turkish military casualties have mounted since the operation began against al-Bab, with 14 soldiers killed in a single day in December.
The dispersal order in place in The Stow area of Harlow means officers can force anybody suspected of anti-social behaviour to leave.
Arek Jozwik, 39, died after an unprovoked attack in The Stow last Saturday night.
The dispersal order will now remain in place until Monday night.

Mr Jozwik suffered head injuries in the attack. He later died of his injuries on Monday evening.
The extension of the dispersal order comes ahead of a silent march in memory of Mr Jozwik planned for Saturday.
Six teenagers have been arrested on suspicion of killing Mr Jozwik.
One line of inquiry in the investigation is that it may have been a hate crime - though officers stress no motive for the attack has yet been established.
Poland's deputy prime minister Mateusz Morawiecki expressed his sorrow at the death as he visited the UK.
The family of Mr Jozwik said they are "extremely devastated".
Work has also ended on versions of its software that was designed to run on smartphones and laptops.
Ubuntu said it took the decision because the project had failed to win over users and industry partners.
Instead, it said, it would concentrate on code for cloud services and internet-of-things devices.
The Linux open source operating system exists in lots of different versions or "distributions" that share the same source code but often have a different interface laid on top. Unity aimed to be a graphical front-end suitable for lots of different devices.
Canonical, which makes the popular Ubuntu distribution of the Linux open source software, started the Unity project in 2011. The ultimate idea was to produce software that ran on large and small devices and could be used the same way on all of them.
The Unity project also aimed to let smartphones act as a desktop machine when combined with other devices such as docking stations.
However, said Canonical boss Mark Shuttleworth in a blog, although Unity tried to end some of the fragmentation in the open source world it actually ended up contributing to it.
In addition, he said, few people had bought phones or laptops that ran the Ubuntu/Unity combination and few laptop makers were offering the software as an option.
Mr Shuttleworth said that Ubuntu would switch back to the default user interface for Linux - known as Gnome - in April 2018.
He said the decision to end Unity had been "very difficult" because he believed strongly in ways to make it easier to use Linux anywhere and everywhere and because of the time he had spent with the developers working on it.
"We feel like a family, but this choice is shaped by commercial constraints and those two are hard to reconcile," he said.
Police were called to Napier Road by a member of the public at 08:30 on Tuesday and a cordon was put in place.
Bedfordshire Police said a bomb disposal team was called and a "small number" of people were moved away from the area as a precautionary measure.
A spokeswoman said an investigation was under way, but there is "no wider threat to the public".
Insp Jim Goldsmith, at the scene, said: "As we do with all suspicious vehicles, we follow a certain course of action for everybody's safety.
"We followed normal procedures and there were bits about the vehicle we weren't happy with, so we've gone with specialist advice.
"I would like to reassure members of the public that this is normal procedure.
"There is no reason at this stage to think it's anything other than a suspicious vehicle."
Police said one controlled explosion was carried out to gain access to a vehicle, though a BBC reporter at the scene said he heard at least three bangs.
Alexander Majoni, who lives nearby, said: "I could see a sniffer dog and, after an hour, a bomb squad arrived and I also saw bomb disposal robots.
"Another police car then came and they closed off a few surrounding streets. I had to leave using the back door of my house."
Bernard Elwen, who lives nearby, said: "I was sitting at my desk and I heard a big bang - I wasn't sure whether it was a car crash or a shooting.
"A police officer asked me to move to the other side of the cordon. It's quite worrying but the police seem to have it under control."
Some 594 (23.4%) of the 2,540 schools teaching A-levels had no pupils with the two As and a B in the subjects recommended for top degree courses.
The data also shows some 215 schools missed the new government target of 40% of pupils obtaining five A*-C GCSEs.
The BBC is publishing its league tables for secondary schools in England.
The tables are drawn up from the latest official government data on pupils' academic achievement.
Overall they cover achievement in more than 4,000 mainstream state and independent schools, based mainly on the results of last summer's exams for 16- and 18-year-olds. In total, 2,540 schools and colleges in England run A-level courses.
Much has been made of the inability of leading universities to recruit more bright students from a wider set of backgrounds. But this data shows that many schools are not producing students of a high enough calibre to automatically get places at such universities.
It also shows that in only two schools did more than 70% of pupils obtain two As and a B in what is known as the "facilitating" subjects favoured by the 24 Russell Group of some of the leading universities. And in only 16 schools did 50% or more pupils achieve these grades.
The figures for how many pupils in a school achieve the grades most sought after by the leading universities are stark but not surprising.
Just two schools managed to get 70% or more of their pupils over this very demanding academic hurdle and 16 schools pushed 50% or more over it.
The figures demonstrate the degree to which England's education system remains polarised.
Fee-paying, selective independent schools and grammars dominate the top of the list, and community schools, sponsored academies and sixth-form colleges, some in very deprived areas, sit at the bottom.
It is the first time this interesting nugget on school performance has been published by the Department for Education.
And it is just one of the 400 pieces of data it publishes in the statistical blizzard of information on which school league tables are based.
It says the motivation for this is to "shine a light on those schools and colleges whose pupils achieve great results in key subjects that lead to the top universities".
But those working with less able students say the stat is a "blunt descriptor" that reflects poorly on schools and colleges.
A better focus, they argue, would be to recognise and tackle the root of under-achievement that lies earlier in the student's education.
In 208 schools (8%) of the total a quarter of pupils or more reached the grades in these subjects.
The Russell Group of top universities introduced this list to identify the very best students and inform schools which sorts of subjects they expect pupils to sit if they wish to obtain a place on one of their degree courses. Many courses will require two high grades in such subjects, and some will require three. But admissions tutors they also look at a pupil's background before deciding whether to give them a place.
Its director general Dr Wendy Piatt said: "The Russell Group has published a guide called Informed Choices which lists 'facilitating subjects' which are those most commonly required for entry to our leading universities.
"However, it's important that students make decisions based on their individual circumstances. We encourage all prospective students to check the entry requirements for their chosen course before applying to a particular university."
Joy Mercer, director of policy at the Association of Colleges, said the achievement of three A-levels was a "blunt descriptor" and that would give a poor reflection of colleges and sixth form colleges where students were encouraged to combine vocational qualifications and A-levels within a very demanding programme.
"Institutions like this account for one-third of all A-levels taken in this country."
Schools minister Liz Truss said the measure had been introduced to enable parents to be able to identify those schools and colleges where A-level pupils achieve great results in the key academic subjects that most often lead to the top universities.
"We are also reforming the post-16 tables so that in future schools and colleges focus on the very best vocational qualifications that are most valued by employers and lead to good jobs."
At GCSE level nationally, 59.4% of pupils in both maintained and independent schools reached the government's benchmark of five GCSEs (or equivalent qualifications) graded A* to C, including English and maths - up from 58.2% in 2011.
The schools with the lowest GCSE results was the selective Pate's Grammar school in Cheltenham, where 0% of pupils reached this benchmark.
However, this result was because pupils sat new English exams which the Department for Education does not recognise for the purpose of performance data.
Excluding Pate's Grammar, the school with the lowest GCSE results was the Rushden Community College in Northamptonshire, where 6% of pupils got five A*-C GCSEs, including maths and English.
Head teacher Mark Lester said the college had entered pupils for English language and English exams but not English literature, which he said is the one counted by the DfE.
If pupils' English exams had been counted, their pass rate including English and maths would have been 46%, he said.
Academy schools
The Department for Education hailed the success of its academy schools in the performance data.
It said sponsored academies were improving results at a record rate - more than five times as quickly than in all state-funded schools - with an increase of 3.1 percentage points. This compares to a 0.6 percentage point improvement across all state-funded schools.
But many of these would have been performing at a higher level, as sponsored academies tend to be struggling schools which are converted to academies because of their difficulties.
A spokesman said: "This shows we are right to continue to support the sponsored academy programme. These brilliant sponsors have a track record of arresting decline - and then reversing it."
General Secretary of the Nasuwt teaching union, Chris Keates, said: "Everyone recognises that there is more to be done to ensure that the best is being achieved for every child, but the government's approach of manufacturing deficiencies to seek to justify its flawed education policies, rather than celebrating success is counter productive and divisive."
Two people are also in a stable condition in hospital following the collision.
It happened on the Victoria Road between Newbuildings and Magheramason in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
The Victoria Road remains closed and diversions are in place. The ages of the two young men are unknown at this stage.
Police are appealing for anyone who was travelling on the Victoria Road between 03:00 BST and 03.30 BST to come forward.
They are keen to hear from anyone who saw a black Volkswagon Golf travelling from Strabane in the direction of Derry.
Ashley Gill, who was 25 and from Llandudno Junction, was found unconscious in his cell at a Liverpool prison on the 29 April.
Paramedics failed to revive him. His family said he had suffered a severe asthma attack.
Two guards from Forest Bank jail in Salford, where Mr Gill was previously, put messages on Facebook.
A spokesman for Sodexo Justice Services, which runs Forest Bank prison, said: "Two employees were dismissed after an investigation."
Mr Gill's cause of death is being investigated by the independent Prisons and Probation Ombudsman.
The BBC understands the comments by the guards were posted on Facebook after news reports of Mr Gill's death in HMP Liverpool.
It was the second time in just over a month members of the EIS union in the area walked out over plans to cut the number of principal teachers.
The union has called council proposals to solve the dispute "unacceptable".
The council argues the system it is proposing is similar to one already used in many other places.
In January, all five main secondary schools in West Dunbartonshire were closed after EIS teachers went on their first strike since the 1980s.
The union said the council's new proposals were rejected by 91% of members who voted in a ballot with a 90% turnout.
The EIS said the council's plans were financially driven and would see a cut in the number of deputy head teachers, principal teachers of subjects and pastoral care posts.
The council's plans involve related subjects being managed together in so-called "faculties" with one head.
For instance, a school might have one "head of humanities" in charge of subjects such as English and modern languages.
The 81 people were on a boat which was unable to leave the structure's upper gondola when a hydraulic gate failed to open.
Scottish Canals said those affected were either given refunds or booked onto a later sailing.
The wheel is a rotating boat lift which links the Forth & Clyde Canal to the Union Canal 35m (115ft) above.
It is Scotland's busiest tourist attraction outside a city centre.
The wheel opened as part of the Millennium Link, an £84.5m project that restored Scotland's inland waterways to a navigable state for the first time since the 1960s.
A £1m programme to revamp visitor attractions at the wheel was announced in March. | New footage has been published of the "traingate" journey that triggered a row involving Jeremy Corbyn and Sir Richard Branson last year.

Party leader, Nick Clegg, said the Help to Rent policy would help what he called the "clipped-wing generation".
The plan would mean working people in England aged between 18 and 30 could use a low-interest loan to fund the deposit needed to rent a property.
Tenants would be able to borrow up to £1,500 or £2,000 if in London.
The deposit would have to be paid back within two years.
The Lib Dems believe up to two million people could benefit.
To qualify, tenants must be:
This election issue includes house building, home ownership and social housing.
Policy guide: Where the parties stand
Mr Clegg said: "You've got this generation that is sometimes called 'the clipped wing generation', or 'the boomerang generation', of an increasingly large numbers of youngsters - I think the estimates are now about two million people in their 20s and 30s - who simply can't find the money needed for a deposit to rent a flat or home of their own
"It also has a big knock-on effect on what happens to the property market as far as families are concerned.
"It means that couples whose children have grown up are not downsizing as readily as they might because they have to keep large properties to maintain space for their kids.
"So we have a very simple idea which is in effect to extend a system of government loans."
He added that it was "simply unfair" that thousands of hard-working young people still have to live in the same bedroom they lived in when children.
"When you get your own job, you want to stand on your own two feet, have your own space and not have to rely on the bank of mum and dad. "
Senior Liberal Democrat Simon Hughes said the policy would not cost much.
The government would set aside £50m as a contingency against any tenants who failed to repay their deposit, he said. Beyond that, the pay-outs would not count as public expenditure because the money gets paid back.

It marks the first time its US-based developer Bethesda has won the prize. It did not win in any other category.
British indie titles Everybody's Gone to the Rapture and Her Story both won three awards.
London-based Rocksteady Studios walked away with best British game for Batman: Arkham Knight, its third and final game in the series.
John Carmack - the creator of Doom, Wolfenstein 3D and Quake - was also honoured with a Bafta fellowship, the academy's highest honour.
He now works at Facebook's Oculus virtual reality division.
Mr Carmack told the BBC there was a "very good chance" VR titles would dominate 2017's ceremony.
"Award shows like this will tend to be kind of bellwethers about where things are going," he explained.
"[The games] won't dominate the market for some time yet, but they will be the exciting things that people are talking about."
Fallout 4 is an action-focused role-playing game set in Boston following a nuclear war. It contains hundreds of hours of storyline to explore.
Like last year's winner - Destiny - it had not won a prize in any of the other categories before taking the top award.
The studio's European managing director said he had not expected the result, and recalled that although Fallout is now one of gaming's biggest franchises, it too started out small.
"I'm genuinely humbled to receive this on behalf of Todd Howard and Bethesda Game Studios," said Sean Brennan.
"You don't have to have the multi-million dollar budgets to make great games - I've seen a huge amount of evidence for that tonight."
Everybody's Gone to the Rapture had been tipped for the top prize after being nominated 10 times across nine categories.
It won three of them: game innovation, music and performer.
The game is set in a fictitious Shropshire village in the 1980s and involves the player trying to find out what happened to the inhabitants who have disappeared.
Its pace is slow and the studio behind it said it wanted the title to have a distinctive English character.
"It was really important to us that it wasn't a chisel-jawed American hero going around fighting zombies," The Chinese Room's co-founder Jessica Curry told the BBC.
"It's kind of like the Archers," she added, referring to the BBC Radio 4 soap opera.
Her Story also won three awards: best debut game, best mobile and handheld title, and game innovation.
The game - in which players must try to solve a murder by sifting through a video archive of a woman being questioned by police - was developed by Sam Barlow.
The British 37-year-old said he had deliberately tried to do something "experimental" by focusing on an actor's performance to see if the idea would appeal.
Another award-winner with distinctive gameplay was Sundown.
Its developer - Mild Beast Games - has created a top-down stealth title in which characters are invisible until they are revealed by a light source.
Guns in the game shoot bursts of light rather than bullets.
The title took the the "ones to watch" prize for the Los Angeles-based developer.
Was Fallout 4 taking the best game Bafta the oddest result of the night?
Arguably, but you have to bear in mind that while a panel of judges produced the shortlist, the top prize was determined by the wider Bafta membership taking a vote.
That wasn't the case for the other categories, which were chosen by individual judging panels.
The Fallout series has been nominated six times and this is its first win. So, while this post-apocalyptic retro-future holds the attentions of its fans, it seems it didn't grab the "experts" to the same degree.
Are the games too big?
If they are that might account for the lack of success the Witcher 3 had this year. Like Fallout that game presented an enormous world; rich in content and incident.
That said neither game pushed the development of narrative nor involved the kinds of innovative approaches that the awards seem to favour.
Smaller games, built by smaller studios are, at least at the moment, much more likely to carry home the laurels.
Smite won the AMD eSports Audience Award - a new category that is voted for by the public.
The battle arena title is unusual for presenting its action from a third-party perspective behind each of the 71 gods the players can choose from.
This and other competitive multiplayer titles have become a popular spectator sport.
On Wednesday, it was announced that a new eGames international gaming tournament would make its debut in Rio during this summer's Olympic Games.
Joseph Smith suffered multiple injuries when the Ford Focus car he was travelling in smashed into oncoming traffic on Cardiff's Western Avenue.
Driver Dean Collins, 24, from St Mellons, denies causing death by dangerous driving in September 2015.
Cardiff Crown Court heard witnesses described his driving moments before as "impatient".
The trial was told that Mr Collins was in a borrowed car carrying his partner Laura Bright, 23, her mother Michelle Holmes, Joseph, and Mr Collins' own two-year-old daughter.
The grey Focus car crossed the central reservation on Western Avenue hitting a white Seat Ibiza head-on.
The jury was told that rear-seat passenger Joseph was wearing a seatbelt, but was not on a booster seat.
Prosecutors said it meant the child was too short, with the seatbelt across his neck.
The boy suffered broken limbs, a fractured spine, head and internal injuries.
"Joseph was not sitting on a booster seat as required by law," said prosecutor Janet McDonald.
"This impacted his chances of survival.
"The prosecution say the responsibility for that child was that of Dean Collins."
The trial heard that Mr Collins' own daughter had been strapped into a booster seat, and survived the crash.
His partner and her mother, and the driver and passenger in the Ibiza car all suffered critical injuries which required "intensive medical care".
The defendant has also pleaded not guilty to four charges of causing serious injury through dangerous driving.
The trial continues.
Williams, a two-time world champion, has not won a ranking event since February 2011 and failed to qualify for this year's World Championship.
But Griffiths believes Williams, who he used to coach, can add to his tally of 18 ranking titles.
"He's a really tough great match player and he's still got it in him," he said.
"I think he can still win tournaments - he says he can't - and if he won one more tournament I think he would win a few."
Williams' last ranking title came at the German Masters in February 2011, when he beat Mark Selby in the final.
He reached the final of the China Open early in April, losing to Selby.
The 42-year-old was one of five Welsh players who missed out on a place at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield after losing in the last qualifying round.
Griffiths, the 1979 champion, is not concerned Ryan Day is the only Welshman competing for this year's world title.
"It's disappointing that all five lost but I don't think that'll ever happen again," Griffiths told BBC Wales Sport.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"I think there's still plenty in Michael White, Jamie Jones and Daniel Wells who hasn't had a bad season. I feel they can do better. "
Griffiths is also upbeat about Day's prospects as the world number 16 prepares to start his campaign against Chinese qualifier Xiao Guodong.
If Day wins he will face defending champion and world number one Selby in the second round but Griffiths feels the 37-year-old from Pontycymer near Bridgend could cause an upset.
"Ryan's had a really great season," Griffiths said.
"He came really close to beating Barry Hawkins in the World Grand Prix final in Preston in February.
"He's been playing great snooker and if he can produce that here you never know what's going to happen."
Darren Millar, chairman of the public accounts committee, said feedback suggests health boards have not put enough resources into resolving this.
NHS Continuing Healthcare allows people with complex ongoing illnesses to apply for an assessment and all care needs are paid for by the NHS.
The Welsh government said more staff are being hired to focus on the claims.
For those found to be eligible, all care needs - including nursing home costs of up to £40,000 a year - are met by the NHS.
It is not means-tested and the funds are potentially available to anyone over the age of 18.
Local health boards are responsible for ruling on claims and paying the bill and Mr Millar expects an update from the Welsh government next week on efforts to address the long-standing issue.
In the past, many people did not claim the payments because they did not know they could or because they were told they did not qualify for the funding.
Over the past decade, more than £50m in wrongly-paid care home fees and interest has been returned to Welsh families - often after a lengthy delay.
While a central team based in Powys has helped reduce the backlog of appeals, solicitor Lisa Morgan said significant delays remain for those cases that have been retained by local health boards.
She told BBC Radio Wales' Eye on Wales: "They didn't have dedicated teams to consider retrospective cases and it's clear that it wasn't a priority for the local health boards.
"Unfortunately, families have been waiting a significant time for their case to be considered."
The public accounts committee has looked into continuing NHS healthcare twice in the past two years. Its latest report made nine recommendations, all accepted by the Welsh government.
Mr Millar said: "What we need to see is some determined action from health boards and the Welsh government to put the necessary resources in so we can clear the backlog.
"Because there are cases which, regrettably, go back a number of years and in some cases people have passed away in the interim. That's not good enough."
In 2014, the Welsh government took steps to reduce the number of appeals and retrospective claims, meaning the national framework for decision makers was revised and staff training bolstered.
The Welsh government said: "Health boards are appointing extra staff to focus on retrospective claims and we will be investing additional resources in training to help staff get it right first time and avoid or reduce the need for retrospective payments."
He told the Australian Financial Review (AFR) that his May budget would be based on the anticipated price of iron ore falling further, to $35 a tonne.
Iron ore is currently trading at $47 a tonne - down from $120 a tonne in 2013.
The drop has been blamed partly on falling demand in China.
The estimated price of $35 a tonne is even lower than the conservative forecast from December's budget update, which assumed prices would fall to $60 a tonne.
"There seems to be no floor, we are contemplating as low as $35 a tonne," Mr Hockey told the AFR.
He said every fall of $10 in the price of the ore cost the Australian economy A$2.5bn in revenue.
Mr Hockey is due to present his budget on 12 May.
He told the AFR the budget would contain "a credible path back to surplus" but refused to say when a surplus may be achieved.
He also could not guarantee that the deficit may not worsen again.
He said the government would have to continue pursuing structural savings, which have included unpopular cuts to health and welfare budgets.
In a separate interview with ABC News Breakfast on Monday, Mr Hockey said there was "no doubt" iron ore prices had a big impact on the budget.
But, he said, the government would not impose new taxes to compensate for the lost revenue.
The drop in the value of iron ore has been linked to a slowdown in China, as well as to steady output from Chinese producers who are competing with major Australian mining companies.
The 150cm-wide wheeled-vehicle appears as a single pixel in the images from the US space agency's (Nasa) Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO).
The lander that placed Yutu on the surface of Mare Imbrium (Sea of Rains) on 14 December is also visible nearby.
Both pieces of Chinese hardware are distinctively bright against the dark lunar "soil" and cast long shadows.
This made them easy to identify in before-and-after images of the landing location, which can now be given very precise map coordinates.
Nasa says its LRO satellite was not in the right position to capture the landing earlier this month. Only by 25 December had the spacecraft's orbit brought it directly overhead.
The published images were taken from an altitude of 150km.
Yutu ("Jade Rabbit") is China's first mission to make a soft landing at the Moon. After running down a ramp on to the lunar surface, Yutu trundled in an arc around its delivery lander.
Scientists were able to check the vehicle's systems before putting the robot into hibernation for the long lunar night, which lasts two Earth weeks.
When revived, Yutu will explore its landing zone, studying the dusty terrain and its geology.
"We have been spoken to in patronising tones when pitching ideas and explaining our business model. We have been met with the attitude that what we are doing should be treated as a hobby."
The team has worked in the fashion industry for more than a decade, but the first 10 months of their business venture has taken its toll.
"Two of us are new mothers," explains Louie Tew. "We've been changing nappies whilst on the line to Chinese banks, running our business from our smartphones, meeting with clients with newborns in arms."
Even though she thinks advice from male entrepreneurs can also be useful, she draws particular inspiration from hearing tales about how "specific gender pressures" have been overcome by women who have reached the top.
So do aspiring female entrepreneurs need - and successful female CEOs offer - a different kind of business advice?
It's a question we might be in a position to help answer.
For one year now we've been conducting an experiment in the BBC News Business unit.
We've been asking the CEOs who cross our paths a personal question: "What's the business advice you wish you had been given when you started out?"
One year on, we have collected 45 contributions in our CEO Secrets series.
A quarter of the bosses we've heard from are women.
By way of comparison, just less than 10% of chief executives at FTSE 100 companies in the UK are female. According to recent government statistics, 20% of small and medium-sized companies are female-led. In the world of business start-ups men consistently outnumber women by two-to-one.
So we decided to show our series to a selection of women who are currently running start-ups to find out who they find most inspiring.
Roxane Gergaud, co-founder of Doris & Dicky, a website for finding affordable, boutique hotels
I always find advice from women particularly inspiring as naturally I identify with them more. I have a greater curiosity in the motivations behind and the routes to female success and draw strength from other women's experiences.
There is a tendency for women to make it more personal, to overtly base their advice on their own experiences which, in turn, makes them feel more accessible as people and their advice more applicable.
I love working in the travel industry. But there are definitely moments when I've realised there are still quite a few corners that are a bit old-fashioned in their views.
I was at times sidelined in meetings by investors wanting to deal with my male co-founder, which was incredibly demoralising and frustrating.
I was often in the situation where I'd get to the end of the meeting and no-one had made eye contact with me.
So watching amazing women like Carolyn McCall, Harriet Green and Martha Lane-Fox, who are leaders in the travel sector, has given me huge strength and encouragement in times when I've felt a little on the back foot because of who I am.
Adrienne Hanna, CEO and co-founder of Right Revenue, a software start-up that helps hotels decide on pricing
I have worked in travel and hospitality for 30 years.
To be honest, I don't think getting the advice from a man or a woman makes any difference at all. If you had taken away the pictures and just put that advice in text anonymously, I think it would have been almost impossible to distinguish.
I was a fan of [Brompton Bikes boss] Will Butler-Adams as I too find it difficult to listen to the "boardroom chat" and people talking for the sake of talking. Get things done - keep it simple and stay focused.
I perhaps am lucky in that I have never felt my sex has held me back in any way. I have always felt an equal even though many, many times in my life I am the only woman in the boardroom.
I feel it comes down to mindset. If you go in feeling like an equal then that is how you will be perceived.
Lu Li set up Blooming Founders, a social network that aims to nurture and inspire women in the business start-up community
Gender definitely matters because people relate better to people who are like them. It gives you that feeling of "I can do it too". I don't have the same feeling when I listen to advice from Elon Musk or Richard Branson. I admire them as entrepreneurs, but I still think that their circumstances and my circumstances are just not the same.
I wholeheartedly agree with Lily Cole who advised to reach out for help. I made that mistake myself, thinking that asking for help would make me look weak. But actually the opposite is true: asking for help gives you power.
It is really interesting to see that the women featured in the series tend to talk more about the importance of self belief and having confidence, whereas the men tend to stress the importance of having the right team.
This is in line with the trends I see through my work: 66% of the Blooming Founders community are solo founders, which proves that they don't put much priority in recruiting a team when they start out. At the same time, I also see that confidence is a big issue amongst female entrepreneurs.
Many women are held back by fear of failure, social expectations and unease with financial instability.
Elizabeth Clark, CEO and founder of Dream Agility, an online shopping platform
Generally who the advice comes from doesn't matter, unless it's gender specific.
I discovered I was pregnant (with a 16-year gap after having my first two children) when I started my first business and my confidence was rock bottom.
I was told by a business adviser that I should think about doing something else as nobody would take me seriously as a woman doing tech. I was mortified as I had encountered attitudes like this 20 years ago when I was working in engineering but I thought people would be more enlightened.
I was knocked back by venture capitalists because I didn't have any experience in the area I was seeking investment - but neither would anyone else as it was completely new!
The recent video from the Mumsnet founder is the perfect example of this and it's inspirational to hear other people have overcome this kind of adversity and made a huge success.
Being female has its pros and cons.
Yes there are people that don't like dealing with a female CEO. I don't get upset about it any more. I just pass them on to a male colleague.
By the same token, I'm not above using my feminine charms to win over a customer - all above board of course, my husband is the chief technical officer!

Officers were acting in cooperation with the Romanian police and Europol. The raids took place on Friday.
One man has been arrested in connection with brothel keeping and serious and organised crime. He is expected to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Monday.
Another man is the subject of a report to the procurator fiscal.
A police spokesman said: "As part of an ongoing investigation into Human Trafficking and Serious and Organised Crime, Police Scotland, supported by a number of partner organisations, as well as Romanian police and Europol, visited four properties in the Glasgow area on Friday 8 April 2016.
"A 29 year old male has been arrested and detained in custody in connection with Brothel Keeping and Serious and Organised Crime.
"A 35 year old male will be the subject of a report to the Procurator Fiscal."
The app-based car-hire service joins rivals Grab and GoJek, who already have established similar services.
Thousands of taxi drivers protested recently in the Indonesian capital against transport apps.
The drivers said ride-hailing apps such as Uber have made it impossible for them to earn a living in the city.
Uber started operating in Jakarta in the later part of 2014. The car-hire service also operates in other Indonesian cities - Bandung, Surabaya and the popular tourist destination Bali.
It is calling its latest offering "uberMOTOR", which it claims will allow anyone in Jakarta to "push a button and get a motorbike ride in minutes".
The company says its pricing is the "most affordable" in town, with a base fare starting at 1,000 Indonesian rupiah ($0.08; £0.06).
Earlier this year, thousands of cab drivers in Paris also staged a protest, against competition from app-based taxi services including Uber.
The Uber service is available in 380 cities around the world. The company has said it is profitable in the US. But in China, Uber is losing $1bn a year. And that is partly due to fierce competition.
Murtaza Ahmadi's father said they had received threats of kidnap, including from a gangster demanding money.
After the boy shot to fame in his shirt fashioned from a stripy blue plastic bag, the Argentine star gave him two signed jerseys and a football.
"I love Messi. He's the king," Murtaza, who hopes to meet him, told the BBC.
Murtaza's father says they left their home province of Ghazni because the situation was "very risky" for him.
"A few days ago I got a call from a local gangster. He thought that since my son had received these T-shirts from Messi that maybe he also got money and asked for his share," Arif Ahmadi told the BBC.
Now the family hope Quetta will provide a chance of a better life, even though Murtaza and seven of his family members are all crammed into one room.
They briefly stayed in the capital Islamabad but found it too expensive.
Meanwhile, Murtaza is keeping busy dodging camera crews and working on his football skills, hoping to meet his hero.
"Messi, you know how much I like you. Now I want you to invite me so I can come and meet you," he told the BBC.
The Unicef ambassador, who stars for Barcelona, has said he would like them to meet too but no plans have been arranged so far.
Earlier this year the Afghan football association promised to bring them together, whether in Afghanistan, Spain or a third country.
Murtaza's father said none of the options had worked out so far.
The reports say Mohamed Lahouaiej-Bouhlel drove through the seafront promenade area of the French city on Tuesday and Wednesday in preparation.
More than 80 people died when he ploughed his vehicle into people celebrating Bastille Day on Thursday.
Six people are being held in connection with the killings.
The latest, an Albanian couple who have not been identified, were arrested on Sunday morning, French judicial sources said.
Lahouaiej-Bouhlel was shot dead by police when his vehicle's path along the Promenade des Anglais was eventually halted.
Europe 1 radio said CCTV footage from the days beforehand showed him driving through the area in the lorry, closely observing the scene.
On the day itself, Lahouaiej-Bouhlel phoned his brother in Tunisia during the afternoon, sending a photograph of himself among the crowds, Reuters news agency reported.
"That last day he said he was in Nice with his European friends to celebrate the national holiday," the brother, Jabeur, said, adding that in the photo "he seemed very happy and pleased, he was laughing a lot".
France has called up 12,000 police reservists to boost security in the wake of the killings.
A BBC correspondent in Nice says the beaches and cafes are busy again and the promenade has been re-opened.
Many people have taken the opportunity to leave tributes or pay their respects to those, including 10 children, who were killed.
An impressive air of normality in much of tourist-packed Nice is deceptive. As well as grief, bewilderment hangs in the sea air.
There are tears, hugs and silence at the mountain of candles, flowers and cuddly toys on the beach promenade, where joggers stop and parents bring young children to read the messages.
A large white banner says: Why children? And, in a child's handwriting: Why do you want war?
The bloodstains on the tarmac are gradually disappearing. The lampposts the lorry smashed into will be replaced.
But for those who knew or loved the victims, things will never be the same. More armed police and soldiers guarding the streets will serve as a reminder.
Amid the fear and sadness, and the unanswerable questions, defiance acts as a source of comfort.
He will never defeat us, says one message on the promenade. Another reads: Love defeats hate.
Lahouaiej-Bouhlel's estranged wife, who was detained on Friday, was released on Sunday.
Those still being held are said to be close associates of the killer but have not been identified.
French President Francois Hollande has called the attack terrorism and officials have said investigators will seek to find out whether the Tunisian had links with extremist groups.
French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said Lahouaiej-Bouhlel seemed to have been "radicalised very quickly".
He was unknown to French intelligence services although he had been in trouble with the police for threatening behaviour, violence and petty theft.
Tunisian security sources have told the BBC he visited Tunisia frequently, the last time eight months ago.
It is not known if he trained in Syria or had any help planning the attack.
So-called Islamic State said the attacker was acting in response to its calls to target civilians in countries that are part of the anti-IS coalition.
Eighty-five of those injured remain in hospital; 29 are in intensive care and 18 of those are listed as critical.
He said the counter-terrorism budget was being increased and more money would be spent on defence.
But asked to rule out police cuts he said: "Every public service has to make sure it is spending money well."
Labour said he should heed security warnings from senior officers and do an "11th hour" U-turn on cuts.
Mr Osborne said he had now reached a deal with all departments ahead of Wednesday's Spending Review.
Spending Review: Where will the axe fall?
The chancellor denied reports he was still at war with Home Secretary Theresa May over cuts to the policing budget amid warnings from officers that further cuts would threaten Britain's ability to respond to a Paris-style attack.
"In the summer Budget we took the decision to increase our defence spending and increase our counter-terrorism budget," the chancellor said.
"These were decisions taken before the terrible events in Paris and, of course, those events in Paris throw a spotlight on the threat we face but, of course, that threat existed before that terrible event," he told the BBC.
"So when it comes to the Spending Review, we are going to make the argument that protecting the British people is our first duty as a government, that economic security is a vital part of national security.
"And precisely because we are making difficult decisions in other parts of our budget, we can give our military more kit, we can increase our counter-terrorism budget by 30%."
Some of the extra money for counter-terrorism would go to the police "to make sure we can deal with marauding gun attacks," he said. But he refused to rule out cuts to the number of frontline officers.
"We will make sure Britain is properly defended from the terrorist threat," he added.
Labour's shadow chancellor John McDonnell said he supported more money for the intelligence services but was "really worried" about further cuts to police numbers.
He told the BBC: "If he (Mr Osborne) cuts the police service in the way he's planned, that undermines our security.
"I am saying to him directly, end the cuts to policing because all the police chiefs are saying you are putting our communities at risk. I will support him if he says, straightforwardly, policing cuts will not take place."
Shadow Home Secretary Andy Burnham also urged Mr Osborne to heed security warnings from senior police officers, saying: "He can't be allowed to dig in and damage national security with his dogmatic approach to deficit reduction."
Chancellor George Osborne hinted that his target of running a £10bn surplus by 2020 could be revised down as he deals with worse than expected borrowing figures.
"The precise level of the surplus will be set out in the forecasts on Wednesday," he told Andrew Marr.
The estimated £20bn in spending cuts to be unveiled on Wednesday are aimed at helping the UK eliminate its deficit and run a surplus by the end of 2020 but economists warned the latest figures on the public finances would make that difficult without more belt-tightening than already planned.
John McDonnell said: "George Osborne's economic and fiscal plans are in utter chaos just months since he announced them.
"We all know he gave up a long time ago on his 2010 promise to eradicate the deficit by today, but now he can't even stick to the deficit reduction plans he announced as recently as July."
A survey of 1,211 IoD members indicated they believe that the deficit reduction should be achieved mainly through spending cuts rather than tax rises.
Infrastructure and education were other major policy areas the business body's members would like to see addressed.
IoD director Simon Walker said it was time for "decisive action".
More than half of those who took part in the survey, which was conducted immediately after the general election, also strongly opposed increases in national insurance, income tax, VAT and business rates.
The research also found support for improving the UK's broadband capability, investing in energy generation, and spending on railways.
In addition, there was also overwhelming support for a crackdown on tax avoidance.
Mr Walker said: "The election result was more decisive than most expected, and now is the time for the new government to take decisive action.
"Returning the budget to surplus must be the overriding goal in this Parliament, but businesses want the emphasis to be on finding further reductions in spending, not significantly raising taxes."
Stephanie Hirst, formerly known as Simon, hosted the commercial Top 40 show nationally between 2003 and 2006.
The Barnsley-based DJ left radio stations Capital FM Yorkshire and Gold last June after confirming her gender change.
She will join BBC Radio Manchester for a weekly show, saying she "wanted to ensure that my return is gentle".
Numerous sources told BBC News last year that Ms Hirst was suspended by bosses at Global Radio when she disclosed that she wanted to be a woman.
The company said at the time: "Hirsty made the decision to take time out to focus on the process he was going through. We were sad to see Hirsty leave but we were happy to offer him our full support."
When asked about claims that she was treated wrongly by her former employer, Ms Hirst said last October: "Everyone was supportive. There is nothing more I can add that can be of use to you."
Ms Hirst, who has won three Sony Radio Awards, said her new role "allows me time to grow into a broadcaster as Stephanie".
Kate Squire, managing editor of BBC Radio Manchester, added: "It's fantastic that Stephanie is returning to the airwaves - she's a brilliant broadcaster, and should be on air."
Ms Hirst first presented a radio show at the age of 16 on Radio Aire in Leeds. Since January, she has been a regular contributor on the ITV programme Lorraine.
Her new show, which will focus on 1990s music, will start on 4 July at 22:00 BST.
BBC Radio Manchester reaches a weekly audience of 229,000 listeners, according to figures from radio body Rajar.
In 1982, he was part of the Tottenham Hotspur team who beat Queens Park Rangers in the final after a replay in front of 92,000 fans at Wembley.
Thirty-four years on, as the unpaid manager of Barnet-based ninth-tier side Hadley, the former midfielder is falling in love with the competition all over again.
Before this season the 134-year-old club, who play in the South Midlands Premier Division, had failed to advance past the preliminary round.
Beat seventh-tier Kings Langley in Saturday's second qualifying home tie and Hadley, who up until a few weeks ago were sharing a ground and playing in front of fewer than 50 fans, will be two wins from the first round.
"Never mind the first round," said Hazard, now 56. "The big question is: What do I do when Hadley reach the third round and draw Tottenham at White Hart Lane? I might bring myself out of retirement and come on as an 89th-minute substitute."
In a Spurs career spanning 170 games, Hazard also won the Uefa Cup under Keith Burkinshaw in 1984. Yet he is as proud of his achievements as a non-league manager as of the medals he won playing alongside Glenn Hoddle and Ossie Ardiles.
Since Hazard's appointment in 2014, Hadley have won the Hertfordshire Charity Shield, achieved their highest league finish and are now enjoying a club-record FA Cup run.
"The fact I don't get paid makes it more enjoyable in many ways," Hazard told BBC Sport. "I consider this stage of my footballing life as a hobby.
"I'm fortunate to have a fantastic committee and a wonderful group of human beings as my players, who all play for free.
"When you play for free, you are truly in love with the game. These guys are a pleasure to coach."
Hazard also played for Chelsea, Portsmouth and Swindon.
But it is Tottenham he calls home. Hazard still works at White Hart Lane on matchdays, entertaining sponsors and giving tours.
It is an arrangement which sometimes clashes with his commitments at Hadley, but Spurs remain Hazard's first love.
"I worship every moment I'm at White Hart Lane," he said. "When I became Hadley manager, I made it clear that if a fixture clashed with a Tottenham home game, then I'd be at Spurs.
"The arrangement works because I have a fine coaching team at Hadley.
"The first thing I did when I realised the next round of the FA Cup was on the 17th was check Tottenham's fixtures. Fortunately they are playing at home on Sunday, so I'll be able to make both games."
Hadley have spent around £400,000 to enable the first team to return to their Brickfield Lane facilities after eight seasons playing at Potters Bar Town.
Having entered this season's FA Cup at the extra preliminary round stage, they have already battled through three rounds and earned £6,425 in prize money. Saturday's tie is worth a further £4,500.
So, will Hazard show Hadley's players his FA Cup medal from 1982 to motivate the team before kick-off against seventh-tier Southern League Premier Division side Kings Langley?
"No. I donated my medals to the Tottenham club dentist, who is a Spurs fanatic," he added. "His whole surgery is a shrine to Tottenham Hotspur."
Teams at this stage are still three wins from the first-round draw, yet the players of Ashton Athletic have already celebrated like they have reached the FA Cup final.
They each landed a £30 bonus after beating Mossley 7-2 in the last round - and the dressing room scenes afterwards proved popular viewing on social media.

"A lot of the players are on £15 a week and as some come from Liverpool, Manchester and Widnes, it doesn't even cover expenses for petrol," said Ben Kay, joint-manager, player and groundsman at Athletic, who are based in Ashton-in-Makerfield, near Wigan.
"The chairman trebled their wages to £45 for the first qualifying round win - I think that's the reason they celebrated like they did in the dressing room afterwards."
The Yellows, who are the last representatives of the North West Counties League and appearing at this stage of the FA Cup for the first time, entertain Halifax, who won the FA Trophy at Wembley in May.
Last season Athletic's average home attendance was 68.
On Saturday they are expecting a club record attendance of around 900 at Brocstedes Park after Halifax sold out of their initial allocation of 400 tickets. Ashton Athletic's current record crowd is 202.
Yellows forward Joel Brownhill is the brother of Bristol City midfielder Josh, while Kay was in the same Wigan Athletic squad as Leighton Baines and Arjan de Zeeuw under Paul Jewell in 2001-02.
The club investigated after being alerted to the posts, which have since been removed, and have told Aakjaer his services are no longer required.
United said: "The club received evidence from the Guardian and has ended our association with Mr Aakjaer.
"Manchester United is an inclusive organisation and will not tolerate this sort of behaviour."
Aakjaer, who had been employed by United on a casual basis since 2011, later posted on his Facebook profile that he was "in no way a racist" and that the issue had been blown "completely out of proportion".
He wrote, in Danish, that he was a "keen social commentator" but acknowledged that his "rhetoric and humour can be gritty, satirical and sometimes maybe degrading".
The scout, whose primary function was to attend matches and provide reports on specific players, added that "with hindsight" he shouldn't have "mixed overheated public debate in parallel with my job as a scout".
Aakjaer added: "It is with deep regret that I last night got the message that I am no longer employed at Manchester United."
Mr Grayling, who wants Britain to leave the EU, warned the country could be shut out of decisions as the eurozone nations integrate further.
He also hit back at the PM's claim that Leave campaigners thought losing jobs was a "price worth paying" for exit.
He said leaving the EU "would create the opportunity for more jobs".
In his speech Mr Grayling warned that Mr Cameron's concession in his EU renegotiation that the UK would not stand in the way of eurozone integration could undermine its position.
"One of the inadvertent consequences of the renegotiation discussions is that we have agreed that Britain 'shall not impede the implementation of legal acts directly linked to the functioning of the euro area'. This is a significant - and underappreciated - loss of leverage," he said.
"We now lack a key tool in preventing further EU integration - which we might be dragged along into. In fact we may be in a worse situation than we were before."
BBC Assistant Political Editor Norman Smith said Mr Grayling and the other Leave campaigners were trying to switch focus back to Mr Cameron's deal, after all the "sound and fury" of recent days, as they believe this is what the referendum is meant to be about - and it is an issue they feel they can "win more easily on" than the economy.
Mr Grayling - one of six members of Mr Cameron's top team backing the Leave campaign - warned the UK would still be choosing to stay in an "unreformed EU which will Hoover up more money and more power at every opportunity it gets".
"The degree to which the European Union now governs our lives is not changed by this agreement," he said.
"The renegotiation has not returned powers to Parliament or the people elected and accountable to it."
The minister told BBC Radio 4's Today programme he had "huge respect" for the prime minister and was "enormously grateful" to him for allowing ministers to speak their minds ahead of 23 June referendum on whether Britain should remain in the EU.
He also claimed the government could work together after the referendum but the public expected a "grown-up discussion" on the EU, adding: "They don't expect us to be automatons."
Addressing Mr Cameron's claims - due to come in a speech to car workers later - that the Leave campaign believed "lost jobs and a dented economy might be... a price worth paying" - he said "European Union regulations cost jobs in the country".
"Outside the European Union, we can take decisions and make laws that are in our own national interest," he added.
Mr Cameron claimed to have secured protections for the City of London in his reform treaty, agreed last month at a Brussels summit.
He also secured an exemption for Britain from the EU's commitment to "ever closer union".
But Vote Leave, the cross-party group to which Mr Grayling is a member, is publishing research later that challenges this claim.
It will suggest the UK has "seemingly given up" its right to veto any future EU treaty drawn up to cement the process of economic and monetary union across the eurozone.
Mr Grayling told Today: "It is not a static situation. I believe we have already given up to much control now to the European Union to govern our affairs.
"But in future as they move to integrate further the danger is we will simply not be able to stop them doing things that will have an impact on us anyway."
He added: "As the eurozone moves towards being much more integrated, towards being a single government, the decisions they take will, nonetheless, impact on the City of London, for example."
The World War Two Mustang "Miss Velma" was taking part in the Flying Legends show at Duxford when it ran into difficulties on Sunday afternoon.
Cambridgeshire Police closed part of the M11 at Duxford while it dealt with the incident.
The pilot managed to land the aircraft upright in the field and was unharmed.
For more on this and other Cambridgeshire stories
The incident happened towards the end of the show at about 17:30 BST, as the restored P51d Mustang was coming in to land.
Witnesses reported seeing the plane suddenly change course to the right, which was followed by a loud bang.
In a statement, a spokesman for IWM Duxford said the pilot was safe and no members of the public were harmed.
Paul Tolliday, an aerial photographer, captured the Mustang in flight during the show, and later after it landed in the field.
He said: "All we heard was a very solid bang, and my son just shouted 'he has crashed'.
"There was a huge dust cloud and looking through my camera I could see the pilot had got out.
"It was very scary."
The Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) confirmed it was investigating.
Long, 26, made his first Premier League start against West Brom two weeks ago.
The ex-Cork City player was again in action for the Clarets in the weekend defeat by Bournemouth and could now be in line for his international debut.
The Republic face Mexico and Uruguay in friendlies, then play Austria on 11 June in a Dublin World Cup qualifier.
Everton midfielder James McCarthy, the subject of verbal exchanges between Republic boss Martin O'Neill and Toffees boss Ronald Koeman, is not included having not played since early March because of a groin injury.
After limited game time for Everton, McCarthy was picked to play in the Republic's World Cup qualifier against Wales on 24 March but pulled shortly before kick-off having felt a recurrence of his injury during the pre-match warm-up.
O'Neill's side take on Mexico in New Jersey on 1 June, before hosting Uruguay at the Aviva Stadium on 4 June.
"I saw Kevin Long play last week," said O'Neill. "He really impressed me, don't discount him. It'll be good to have a look at him."
Cork City player Sean Maguire has not been included, although O'Neill said the striker is a player "we are monitoring".
"If he continues to progress, there's no reason why he can't make it, but there are people ahead of him in terms of experience as much as anything," added O'Neill.
O'Neill has also called up Reading playmaker Liam Kelly, currently trying to shrug off illness to make his side's Championship play-off semi-final second leg against Fulham.
His team-mate Paul McShane is suspended for that game after seeing red in the first leg, but he will link up with his country for the three forthcoming fixtures.
Marc Wilson is named after a year plagued by injuries, while Preston trio Andy Boyle, Daryl Horgan and Aiden McGeady are again involved.
The Republic are unbeaten in their Group D campaign and lie second, level on points with leaders Serbia after five rounds of fixtures.

Forwards: Kevin Doyle, David McGoldrick, Daryl Murphy, Shane Long, Jonathan Walters, Adam Rooney
The RTS,S vaccine trains the immune system to attack the malaria parasite, which is spread by mosquito bites.
The World Health Organization (WHO) said the jab had the potential to save tens of thousands of lives.
But it is not yet clear if it will be feasible to use in the poorest parts of the world.
The vaccine needs to be given four times - once a month for three months and then a fourth dose 18 months later.
This has been achieved in tightly controlled and well-funded clinical trials, but it is not yet clear if it can be done in the "real-world" where access to health care is limited.
It is why the WHO is running pilots in three countries to see if a full malaria vaccine programme could be started. It will also continue to assess the safety and effectiveness of the vaccination.
Dr Matshidiso Moeti, the WHO regional director for Africa, said: "The prospect of a malaria vaccine is great news.
"Information gathered in the pilot programme will help us make decisions on the wider use of this vaccine.
"Combined with existing malaria interventions, such a vaccine would have the potential to save tens of thousands of lives in Africa."
The pilot will involve more than 750,000 children aged between five and 17 months. Around half will get the vaccine in order to compare the jab's real-world effectiveness.
In this age group, the four doses have been shown to prevent nearly four in ten cases of malaria.
This is much lower than approved vaccines for other conditions.
Malaria vaccine: How good is good enough?
It also cuts the most severe cases by a third and reduces the number of children needing hospital treatment or blood transfusions.
But the benefits fall off significantly without the crucial fourth dose.
Ghana, Kenya and Malawi were chosen because they already run large programmes to tackle malaria, including the use of bed nets, yet still have high numbers of cases.
Each country will decide how to run the vaccination pilots, but high-risk areas are likely to be prioritised.
Despite huge progress, there are still 212 million new cases of malaria each year and 429,000 deaths.
Africa is the hardest hit and most of the deaths are in children.
The pilots are being funded by: Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, the Global Fund to Fight Aids, Tuberculosis and Malaria, Unitaid, the WHO and GSK.
Dr Seth Berkley, the chief executive of Gavi, said: "The world's first malaria vaccine is a real achievement that has been 30 years in the making.
"Today's announcement marks an important step towards potentially making it available on a global scale.
"Malaria places a terrible burden on many of the world's poorest countries, claiming thousands of lives and holding back economies.
"These pilots are crucial to determining the impact this vaccine could have on reducing this toll."

She led a ceremony to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the coup that brought the general to power.
She demanded an end to impunity and said Chileans had the right to find out what happened to the victims.
The opposition has boycotted an official ceremony to mark the coup.
At the ceremony, centre-right President Sebastian Pinera criticised the "violent coup that started a 17-year period of military rule".
But he said it was "the predictable outcome" after "repeated violations of the rule of law" under the government of socialist President Salvador Allende.
He denounced the violations committed during the period and said: "Many of us could have done a great deal more to safeguard the respect of human rights."
The event, at the presidential palace in Santiago, was attended by Ms Bachelet's rival in November's presidential election, Evelyn Matthei.
During the opposition ceremony held earlier at the capital's Museum of Memory and Human Rights, Ms Bachelet dismissed the view that Chile was on the verge of a civil war in 1973.
"It is fair to say there was a lack of dialogue and a polarisation of the politics then. But it is unfair to say that the the military coup was inevitable," she said.
She said "painful wounds" were reopened every time Chile looked into its past, but said the aim was not to victimise anyone, but "to get to know the truth."
More than 3,000 people are estimated to have been killed during Gen Augusto Pinochet's government, which came into power on 11 September 1973.
Mr Allende committed suicide inside the presidential palace - Palacio de la Moneda - after it was encircled by troops and bombed by Chilean air force planes.
According to official figures, some 40,000 people were victims of human rights abuses, including Ms Bachelet and her mother, who were tortured before going into exile.
She returned to Chile after the end of Gen Pinochet's rule and was elected the country's first woman president.
The BBC's Gideon Long in Santiago says 40 years on, Chile is still split over the events that preceded the coup and General Pinochet's legacy.
These divisions are evident in the campaign to succeed Mr Pinera.
Chileans go to the polls on 17 November to choose between Ms Bachelet and Ms Matthei, the daughters of two generals who were good friends and neighbours until the 1973 coup.
Gen Alberto Bachelet, who remained loyal to Mr Allende, was arrested, tortured and died in detention. Gen Fernando Matthei became a senior member of Gen Pinochet's regime.
This weekend F1's attention is focused on the Canadian Grand Prix at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal, but behind the scenes a race of a different kind is taking place.
Plans for a Grand Prix in Las Vegas have hit top gear, as organisers have revealed that a Chinese conglomerate has agreed to commit the £100m needed for the race to get the green light.
They add that Las Vegas could appear on the calendar as soon as next year, giving F1 a record 22 Grands Prix.
The showpiece event would rival even F1's flagship, the Monaco Grand Prix, as it would see cars hurtling down the world-famous Strip, past landmark casinos like the Bellagio and Caesar's Palace.
A race on the streets of Las Vegas is a long-time dream of F1's chief executive Bernie Ecclestone, but it has failed to get the green light so far as local organisers struggled to secure funding.
In March Ecclestone joked that the race contract hadn't been signed as "the trouble is the pen. The organiser hasn't got a pen."
However, American entrepreneur Farid Shidfar, founder of organising group P2M Motorsports, says this is no longer a roadblock as he has an "agreement in principle" with a Beijing-based conglomerate.
"They are very close to Las Vegas and have got businesses in media, sport, technology and entertainment, so they are a massive conglomerate.
"They came to us out of the blue late last year, because of the initiatives they are involved with in the state of Nevada, and we have been in due diligence since then. The benefits they will derive are very strategic so that's why they are very excited about it."
It is the latest in an accelerating number of Chinese investments in overseas sports. Investors from China already have minority stakes in several football clubs including Manchester City, Atletico Madrid and New York City FC, while Chinese electronics retailer Suning announced on Monday that it had bought a 68.55% stake in Inter Milan.
F1's previous race in Las Vegas was a nail-biter in 1982 that handed the title to Keke Rosberg, father of current championship leader Nico.
Keke Rosberg needed to finish in the points (which were then awarded to the top six finishers) to claim his first championship. His closest competitor, McLaren's John Watson, needed to win the race and his rival to finish out of the points in order to take home the title.
Watson was known for his incredible starts and accelerated into third place from ninth on the grid. To win he needed to pass the Tyrrell of Michele Alboreto and former champion Alain Prost, who was hampered by tyre vibrations.
Alboreto and Watson passed the Frenchman on laps 51 and 54 respectively, of the 75-lap race.
Unfortunately for Watson, he could not overtake Alboreto and his second place finish handed the championship victory to Rosberg, who finished the race fifth.
Despite being a thrilling climax to the season, the race failed to get support from within F1 due to the makeshift nature of the course, which was in the Caesar's Palace car park. The sport won't repeat this mistake.
"We have successfully designed a racetrack which is partly on the Las Vegas Strip and does not impact any resort," says Peter Wahl, managing partner of F1's track designers Tilke.
"The track definitely has its own character and shall provide drivers high-speed challenges with different sharp corners. Best part, the track is designed to host large numbers of spectators, and I can't wait to see the first car fire up. I believe the Vegas race will become one of the highlights of the F1 calendar."
P2 Motorsports co-founder Russell Dixon says "the race will cost investors nearly $150m (£103m) including hosting fees".
Farid Shidfar adds he is still fielding calls from other interested parties. However, he says that the state needs to boost its efforts in order to get the race off the grid.
"The key party in terms of making this happen is the state. It's not the investor. The investor is happy to proceed so long as there is some formality about the contribution from the state."
It is important as the only revenue that organisers receive from F1 races tends to come from ticket sales. Revenue from television broadcasts, trackside advertising and corporate hospitality during the race is generally retained by F1 itself, which also receives the hosting fees.
Ticket sales cover the running costs of a Grand Prix while governments foot the hosting fees as the races promote their countries to F1's 400 million television viewers and typically generate annual economic impact of about £200m.
Funding usually comes from central government, but in some countries, such as Canada, the contribution comes from local authorities. The same is true in the US where the state of Texas pays around £14.5m annually to organisers of a Grand Prix in the capital of Austin, which is currently the only F1 race in the country.
According to Shidfar, "the [Nevada] government is showing interest in putting money in," as F1 would also help to reverse declining gaming revenues in Las Vegas.
Last year Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval commissioned a study for economic diversification in the state that recommended a F1 race as it would attract a high number of international visitors. Sandoval has also written to Ecclestone to offer "support and interest in bringing Formula One Grand Prix to the world famous Las Vegas Strip".
Shidfar says "the resort community has shown interest in helping subsidise this" as it would boost their bookings and gambling takings. He adds that at a meeting of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority in 2014, "every major resort unanimously voted in favour of carrying out F1 racing on the Strip."
They may soon get their wish as he adds: "There has been discussions of 2018, but it could be as early as 2017. We need roughly 14 months to prepare for this race."
"They did consider me but, to be perfectly blunt, the American public haven't got a clue who I am," he said.
The job became available earlier this year, when host Donald Trump plumped for the 2016 presidential election campaign over another series.
"I would have done it but the producers wanted someone the US public knew."
Trump's replacement is Hollywood star and former Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Lord Sugar joked: "They've got Arnie now - I can't wait to see what a cock-up he's going to make of it!"
The eleventh series of the UK Apprentice kicks off next Wednesday with 18 new candidates competing for the chance to go into business with Lord Sugar.
They include two former Naval officers who served in the Gulf War, a Kosovan refugee and a former Miss Jamaica.
This year sees a change to the panel chaired by Lord Sugar following the departure of his long-term confidante, Nick Hewer.
Claude Littner, who has worked with Lord Sugar for the past 25 years, has replaced Hewer as one of his advisers alongside Karren Brady.
Littner gained a fierce reputation on the show previously, having appeared as a tough interviewer towards the end of the selection process.
He chairs a number of Lord Sugar's companies and has been part of the interview episode for 10 years.
Littner said he may still be involved at the interview stage but would "see how it works out".
He said his new role, which involves giving feedback to Lord Sugar on how the candidates perform on weekly tasks, was "a completely different role. You can't compare one with the other".
"I'm acting as an observer and trying not to show any emotion at all," he added.
Lord Sugar said The Apprentice was still a success because it didn't rely on gimmicks.
"If it's not broke, don't try to fix it. (It has) consistency with slight tweaks. With respect to The X Factor, gimmicks don't work.
"I'm the same, a bit older 11 years on. What's not the same is the candidates, they make compelling viewing."
The North has said the Kwangmyongsong-4 is a communications satellite and that Sunday's launch was a complete success.
But the move was internationally condemned as North Korea is banned under UN sanctions from using any ballistic missile technology.
The UN has vowed to impose further sanctions as punishment.
The US said on Monday that this could include "a range of economic sanctions that would further isolate North Korea" and send a clear signal "that the resolve of the international community here is firm".
The US has also said it will help South Korea deploy an advanced missile defence system as soon as possible, officials from the Pentagon have said.
The South's defence ministry said the launch indicated the North now has long-range missiles with a 12,000km (7,500-mile) range, the Yonhap news agency reports.
But it remains unclear whether it has developed the technology to make a missile re-enter the atmosphere, critical if it is to use the missile as as weapon.
The North insists its space programme is purely scientific in nature but the US, South Korea and even Pyongyang's ally China say the rocket launches are aimed at developing inter-continental ballistic missiles.
Last month North Korea also carried out its fourth test of a nuclear bomb.

The station is being rebuilt as part of the £6.5bn Thameslink Programme.
The Conservative MP for Sevenoaks said there had been "too much disruption" and some "serious overcrowding".
Network Rail admitted recent problems, as a result of work on the north side platforms, were "unacceptable" and "embarrassing".
"We all want to see London Bridge rebuilt but they have been planning this for a long time now," Mr Fallon said.
"These are works that are going to go on for the next two years and therefore it is important that they get it right, that we don't have overcrowded platforms and people have proper information and they are told clearly what their alternative routes are.
"It is not yet working well."
Charing Cross services, which stopped calling at London Bridge on 12 January, are due to resume in August 2016.
Mr Fallon added: "This is week two. I've asked the managing director of Southeastern to travel up from Sevenoaks in the morning, as a commuter, and to come down in the evening at the peak hour to see how we can better manage the flow of people at London Bridge."
He said he would like to see more staff helping commuters and also urged Southeastern to allow people to use their tickets at more stations.
Network Rail apologised to passengers for major disruption 10 days ago when a new timetable was introduced for Southern and Thameslink trains at London Bridge.
The company said it was reviewing services and had made changes to ease crowding on the station concourse, including new customer information screens and more staff.
It also apologised for reliability problems with equipment on the railway near London Bridge, which caused further delays over the last week.
At 178 years old, London Bridge is the city's oldest surviving rail terminus.
The new concourse at the station will increase passenger capacity by 65% when complete, according to Network Rail.
A Southeastern spokesman said David Statham, the rail company's managing director, had been travelling across the network since the new timetable was introduced on 12 January.
"He met with Mr Fallon last Friday and welcomed the invitation to travel from Sevenoaks as part of his tour of the network," the spokesman said.
"Southeastern is closely monitoring the feedback from passengers."
The Cabinet Office announced on Friday that two former home secretaries and a retired senior civil servant would sit on the five-member committee.
But the Campaign for Freedom of Information says the panel does not include any advocates for transparency.
The review was launched amid concerns within government that "sensitive information" was not being protected.
The panel includes former Conservative Home Secretary Michael Howard, some of whose decisions in government were disclosed using the act and Labour's Jack Straw, who helped draft the original law but has since openly criticised FOIs.
The campaigners say an FOI request to the Foreign Office seeking information about UK involvement in the rendition of a terror suspect relates to the period when Mr Straw was foreign secretary.
Another committee member, Lord Burns, was the most senior civil servant in the Treasury between 1991 and 1998. The civil service is known to have misgivings about the act.
The Campaign for Freedom of Information said no-one on the panel had a previous record of having benefitted from the openness the act provides, while the UKIP MP Douglas Carswell said the review was a "fix" because the panel consisted of people who had "made their careers by toadying up to the establishment".
The passing of the Freedom of Information Act in 2000, which gave anyone the right to access recorded information held by government and other public sector bodies, is regarded by many as one of the landmark achievements of the last Labour government.
It obliged public authorities in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and UK-wide authorities based in Scotland, to publish certain information about their activities.
But former Prime Minister Tony Blair has since described the law as one of his "biggest regrets", arguing it has had the effect of denying civil servants a "safe space" to properly advise ministers for fear their conversations will later become public.
It has been used to reveal information in a number of high profile incidents including the MPs expenses scandal, Prince Charles's lobbying letters to ministers and Friday's revelation that British pilots had been taking part in air strikes in Syria.
Cabinet Office minister Lord Bridges said: "We fully support the Freedom of Information Act but after more than a decade in operation it is time that the process is reviewed to make sure it's working effectively."
The letter, written by senior vice president Gerald Mason, says that the EU has pushed up the firm's costs.
He is not telling the 800 staff how to vote, but say jobs will be more secure outside the EU.
Meanwhile, entrepreneur Sir James Dyson says the vote "is the last opportunity to regain control of our futures".
Sir James, most famous for his vacuum cleaner, says in an article in the Times that voting to remain in the EU "would be an act of national self-harm".
Wednesday is the last official day of campaigning ahead of the UK's in/out referendum on its membership of the European Union, with voters going to the polls on Thursday.
The intervention by Tate & Lyle Sugars (TLS) and Mr Dyson comes as more than 1,280 business people signed a letter in the Times backing a vote to remain in the EU.
TLS, which is no longer part of the FTSE 100 company Tate & Lyle, is the largest sugar cane refiner in Europe and has been based on the banks of the River Thames since 1878.
Telling staff the company is losing money because of EU policies, Mr Mason writes: "Last year EU restrictions and tariffs pushed our raw material costs up by nearly 40m euros (£31m) alone, turning what should have been a good profit that we would all share into a 25m euros loss.
"We pay as much as 3.5m euros of import tariffs to the European Union on some of the boats of cane sugar that unload at our refinery, only for the European Union to then send that money to subsidise our beet sugar producing competitors in Europe."
Mr Mason said he has challenged EU officials about reforms, but been told "that if we lose our jobs then that's democracy because there are more beet producers than cane refiners in Europe. That is not the sort of democracy I want to be part of".
How trade and the UK's economy are affected by membership of the EU.
His frustration at being unable to influence Brussels was echoed on Wednesday by Sir James.
In his Times letter, the entrepreneur says: "I have been manufacturing and exporting globally for 46 years and have 'sat at the table' dealing with European bodies for at least 25 of those.
"I can confirm that we have no influence whatsoever in the shaping of Europe's protectionist laws and regulations. Believe me, we've tried."
He said the argument that Britain would be more prosperous outside the EU was overwhelming. He writes: "There is an entirely misplaced belief in the mythical powers of the single market and its influence and importance to the UK economy.
"It is simply untrue that Europe is the world's largest market. It represents only 16% of global trade - and its share is contracting according to the IMF.
"It remains a collection of smaller markets each with its own languages (Belgium has two), laws and cultures, with different plugs, boxes, and advertising."
Britain's focus should be more on the rest of world, he adds, saying "we have nothing to fear by leaving".
The 72-year-old singer was taken to a Los Angeles hospital after playing a sold-out show on Wednesday evening.
In a message posted on Manilow's Facebook page, his management team said it was due to complications arising from an operation he had on Monday.
His next immediate tour dates have been postponed.
"For the next 48 hours, Manilow has been instructed not to talk, sing, or rap," an updated posting on the singer's Facebook page said.
However, those hoping to see the performer will be able to use their tickets for the rescheduled shows.
"Ticket holders should retain their existing tickets for redemption on the night of the new date," the Facebook original statement said.
Manilow is due to attend Monday night's Grammy awards - it's not yet known whether he will still be able to make it.
The New York-born singer, who rose to fame in the 1970s, has a global fanbase. He is best-known for hits Mandy and Copacabana (At the Copa).
He has suffered a series of health scares over his career - having to undergo regular dental treatment after a benign tumour ruptured in his mouth in 1986.
One Last Time, One Last Tour is his final live tour, taking in the UK and North America. It is scheduled to end on 23 June at the O2 Arena in London. | Fallout 4 has won the best game of the year at 2016's British Academy Games Awards.
