Kenny Davis found the net for Braintree after just 30 seconds when he tapped in after Simeon Akinola had hit the post.
The Shaymen were reduced to 10 men when Kevin Roberts fouled Alex Woodyard and picked up a second booking.
Michael Cheek made sure Braintree took away all three points when he rounded Sam Johnson after capitalising on Matty Brown's hesitation to score.
BBC Radio Nottingham reports Cooper will take over at National League side Forest Green, after only 10 games in charge at Meadow Lane.
Alex Gilliead stroked Carlisle ahead from the edge of the box and Danny Grainger's shot doubled the lead.
Jabo Ibehre struck either side of half-time before Charlie Wyke walked the ball into the net to cap the rout.
Carlisle moved up to a final position of 10th, an improvement of 10 places on last season, while the Magpies finished 17th in their first season following relegation from League One.
Cooper's departure meant Notts must search for their seventh manager in 14 months.
The former Swindon Town manager won three and lost five of his 10 matches since taking over from Jamie Fullarton in March.
The lights at the roundabout close to the Kessock Bridge have been the cause of frustration for motorists.
Transport Scotland four options to ease travel have been considered, including removing the lights.
However, it said speeding up the timing of the signals "was shown to deliver the best results".
Following consultation with Highland Council, the new timings will be trialled between mid-August and mid-September.
Transport Scotland's operating company manager, Jonny Moran, said: "We are very aware of the concerns of those who use the Longman Roundabout and we want to address these to improve conditions for road users.
"Our analysis has shown that changing the timings of the signals will have a positive effect on traffic flows and we will trial the new approach at the end of the summer.
"Many people in the area have told us that they want the lights to be switched off permanently and we did consider this option.
"However, the assessment showed that the timing changes that we intend to trial delivered better results for all road users, especially at peak times."
Mr Moran said the trial would be monitored and then evaluated before a decision was made on the future operation of the lights.
He added: "We very much appreciate the patience of those who use the roundabout during this process.
"It does take time to collect the information required to make any changes as we have a responsibility to maintain road safety and an evidence based approach is the most effective way of doing that."
A flyover to take traffic crossing the Kessock Bridge up and over the roundabout has been proposed as part of the Inverness City Region Deal, which was announced in March.
Graduates will work alongside frontline staff after an intensive training course in the summer and complete a master's degree at the same time.
Trainees will earn £20,545 - a prison officer's starting salary - during the two-year scheme in England and Wales.
The Prison Officers Association said the scheme was "barmy".
The initiative is being launched by charity Unlocked and is backed by Justice Secretary Liz Truss.
She said: "Prison officers are some of our finest public servants. It is a unique role, which is both challenging and rewarding.
"There are very few jobs where you genuinely get the opportunity to reform and transform the lives of offenders, and the lives of their families, creating a safer society.
"I want to ensure that we attract the most talented and dedicated individuals, from the widest possible pool, and I want to see improved promotion and leadership opportunities for all our prison staff."
Natasha Porter, chief executive of Unlocked, said: "Prison officers are too often seen as 'turn-keys'. The opposite is true.
"They deal with some of the most challenging situations and work with some of the most vulnerable people in society.
"They are effectively mentors, counsellors, teachers, police officers and social workers.
"The aim of Unlocked is to help raise the status of the profession and to help reduce reoffending.
"While many of the scheme's participants will stay and develop long-term roles within the prison system, others will go into the outside world and act as ambassadors to drive forward rehabilitation."
The launch of the scheme, backed by Ms Truss's predecessor Michael Gove, follows a spate of major disturbances in prisons in England and Wales and comes on top of a separate recruitment drive for 2,500 new officers.
Dwindling staffing levels have repeatedly been highlighted by campaigners and unions amid soaring levels of violence and self-harm behind bars.
But Andy Darken, assistant general secretary of the Prison Officers Association, said he thought asking graduates to start work in prisons that are already under-staffed and highly violent, and do a master's degree at the same time, was "barmy".
"We have concerns if they are suggesting that because they are graduates that this in some way will reduce offending. That doesn't make sense.
"To get through the beginning of the day to the end of the day unharmed is a good day for a prison officer."
Currently prison officers train for 10 weeks on a bespoke course which they have to pass before going into prisons as staff.
Applications for the new scheme, which is similar to other charity-led public sector recruitment initiatives such as Teach First, will open on January 9.
The first set of 45 graduates will start work in prisons in August, following an intensive assessment programme and training scheme during the summer.
The names of the jails where they will work, which will be either Category B or Category C facilities, will be published in the new year.
They say that a church custodian found the crying infant wrapped in towels in the indoor nativity scene.
The laws of New York allow for unwanted babies to be dropped off anonymously at churches, hospitals, police or fire stations without fear of arrest.
The newborn has been taken to hospital where he is in good health, police say.
Police say they are searching for whoever left the child because the terms of the Abandoned Infant Protection Act stipulate that a child who is being dropped off must be be left with an appropriate person.
The child was abandoned while a church custodian was out for lunch.
He came back to find the crying child wrapped in towels in the manger of the nativity scene.
Police have been questioning people in the area and are reviewing surveillance camera footage.
"The beautiful thing is that this woman found in this church, which is supposed to be a home for those in need, this home for her child," Father Christopher Ryan Heanue, one of the priests at the church, told the Reuters news agency.
"A young couple in our parish would love to adopt this child and keep this gift in our community. It would make a great Christmas miracle."
Subscriptions to leading British current affairs magazines, due to be published tomorrow, show a combination of Brexit, Trump and other cultural factors has led to an increase in the number of people handing over money to read smart stuff.
Advance sighting of circulation figures for two leading publications - The Spectator and New Statesman - shows a clear pattern.
For weekly or fortnightly publications that don't do general news, there is a growing willingness to pay for high-quality journalism - whether written, in the magazines, or video and audio online.
This time last year, The Spectator had combined print and digital sales of 62,718, passing a record set in 2006. Of that, 55,165 were print (though print subscribers get access to digital content) and 7,553 were digital only.
Now the combined print and digital figure is 67,120. Of this, 59,923 are print sales, and 7,197 are digital subscribers. In the second half of last year alone, print circulation rose by 3,270.
I pointed out earlier this week Donald Trump has been a boon to the finances of much of the mainstream media - particularly in America. In Britain, Brexit was a more significant factor.
Spectator editor Fraser Nelson told me: "Brexit seems to have been the catalyst. News events since then (Trump, etc) have led to a lot more interest in high-quality news and analysis."
Other cultural factors are at play too. This is what really interests me - and Nelson: "The market has changed. There's a lot more acceptance of the idea of paying for films, music and content in general.
"Netflix has helped pave the way for a change in culture. People who would not be seen dead paying for content five years ago are now in the habit of paying for Amazon Prime, music, the odd film and a subscription or two.
"We hear about Trump helping NY Times subscriptions, but I think it's more than that. The market has just turned, and is now welcoming to titles whose brand and quality is strong enough."
There is another factor: "Weirdly, the phenomenon of fake news has also helped emphasise the importance of paying for edited content. Where you get your news from has never mattered more."
Nor is this phenomenon restricted to just one part of the political spectrum. People are paying for high-quality stuff regardless of their leaning.
In his time as editor, Jason Cowley has made the New Statesman much less slavishly left-wing, picking fights with some figures on the left, such as Ed Miliband.
I would say that the Statesman is now a magazine of scepticism rather than leftism. Of course, some of the smartest scepticism originates on the left: Bertrand Russell's Sceptical Essays is among the most important collections published in the 20th Century.
Combined circulation is now 34,025 - of which 32,098 are print and 1,927 are digital - compared with a combined figure of 32,300 this time last year, and 24,000 in 2010. This is a 35-year high.
In 2016 newstatesman.com hit 4 million monthly unique visitors and 27 million monthly page views - close to a 400% increase on 2011.
Cowley told me: "In an era of fake news, people are realising that good journalism is worth spending money on. While much of the liberal media has been struggling to survive in a declining market dominated by powerful media groups, the New Statesman has not merely held its position but expanded dramatically - all achieved… with no marketing spend."
A bright picture - but several caveats are necessary here.
First, I don't yet have the age profile of new subscribers. It would be interesting to know a bit more about this.
Second, many magazines are succumbing to the temptation to bundle print and digital numbers together.
The attempt to conflate numbers is really a way of showing a bit of leg to advertisers. But it is a deliberate misrepresentation of the real picture.
We can hardly take magazines seriously when they call out deceitful public figures if they play fast and loose with their own numbers.
Third, there is a much broader story about web traffic, whether at general newspapers or specialist magazines.
Fourth, the fact people are paying for high-quality magazine content does not mean that this model will necessarily work for newspapers.
The Times, which has a paywall and is growing its subscriber base, has found a business model that works.
The New York Times operates a metered paywall, but it has an editorial budget of over £300m, has a much vaster domestic target market than, say, The Independent and competes with fewer national newspapers in America. It is a curiosity of Britain that we have so many more national titles for our smaller population.
The Financial Times, which also operates a metered paywall, is both a generalist and a specialist publication, because it does so much financial news. It also has the advantage that many of its readers are either rich or, because they work for companies dependent on that financial data, able to buy subscriptions on company expenses.
So it is important not to read across from the success of weekly magazines, which deal in high-quality commentary and analysis, and say the same will necessarily work for daily newspapers.
Their meat and drink is the much more generally available commodity of daily news, and in Britain they compete with the BBC website, whose reach is huge.
Finally, for many publications, the growth in subscriptions will not offset the precipitous decline in display advertising across the market, which is not far off 20% down year on year, as eyeballs migrate to the web.
The Spectator now gets two-thirds of its revenue from paying consumers rather than advertisers. The Economist magazine has argued publicly that it expects display advertising revenue to "pretty much vanish" by 2025.
The model for print media is being revolutionised. Those dependent solely or mainly on print advertising are in trouble, and will have to diversify their businesses.
Those flaunting a generally available commodity - daily news - will have to do it better, present it more boldly, and manage costs more smartly.
But now we know: those who specialise, and publish regularly but not daily, can ask people to pay, with confidence that they will.
That's good news for journalism.
He tweeted he would "hold a news conference in the near future", after delaying an announcement on how to handle his business interests.
The US president-elect had been due to hold a rare press conference on the matter on Thursday.
Mr Trump also said that he would make an announcement about his choice for secretary of state on Tuesday.
On his Twitter account, Mr Trump said that, although he was not mandated by law to do so, he would leave his businesses before 20 January, when he will be inaugurated president.
"Two of my children, Don and Eric, plus executives, will manage them," he tweeted. "No new deals will be done during my term(s) in office."
No mention has been made of the role of Mr Trump's high-profile daughter, Ivanka, fuelling speculation that she might have a role in his administration.
If Mr Trump retains ownership, or just some financial interest in his business, then the threat of a constitutional crisis looms over his presidency. His insistence that there's no law which forces the president to be free of business interests doesn't only ignore decades, even centuries of convention. It's also an explicit disavowal of the constitution itself.
The US federal government's founding document specifically prohibits US office holders from receiving presents or emoluments (defined as "the returns arising from office or employment" - ie payment) from foreign governments.
It's hard to see how even the most straightforward of business transactions between the Trump organisation and an overseas company wouldn't threaten to put President Trump in breach of that clause. Commentators and political rivals have raised this problem time and again, first during Trump's campaign, but in particular since his stunning victory.
That he still won't address it head on suggests either that he's still seeking a way of reconciling his business interests with his presidential obligations - and will unveil it later.
Or that he intends to run the risk of congress one day deciding that his conflicts of interest are so great that he has to be impeached.
Mr Trump's transition team spokesman, Sean Spicer, said Thursday's press conference had been postponed to make sure "proper protocols are put in place".
"With so many iconic properties and successful entities, moving the announcement to January ensures the legal team has ample time to ensure the proper protocols are put in place so his sole focus will remain on the country and achieving his ambitious agenda with the help of the world-class cabinet he has built," Mr Spicer wrote in an email statement to Associated Press.
Critics have said Mr Trump runs many businesses which all present possible conflicts of interests.
"It makes no sense to say 'no new deals," said Richard W Painter, a White House ethics adviser under President George W Bush.
"Is he going to continue to borrow money from foreign banks like Bank of China? That is a deal," Mr Painter told the New York Times. "Or collect rent from foreign government-owned companies? That is a deal. Will he still be hiring people, or having people stay in his hotels?"
Mr Trump's extensive domestic and international business interests include hotels and golf courses, including two in Scotland, as well as a variety of real estate holdings: ownerships or investments in hotels, offices and residential buildings.
Last month, Mr Trump issued a series of tweets pledged to "leave my great business in total" saying it was "visually important" to "in no way have a conflict of interest".
Media reports suggested that the delay in outlining how he plans to separate his business interests from his presidency was also due to his focus on a number of high-profile cabinet appointments he has been making.
Mr Trump said he was appointing Goldman Sachs President Gary Cohn as his "top economic adviser".
Mr Cohn will head the White House National Economic Council, a position that will make him one of the most influential voices on economic decisions in the White House.
The Goldman Sachs president is the third person from the bank to join Mr Trump's cabinet. Steven Mnuchin - the incoming treasury secretary - and Steve Bannon - the new senior White House adviser are both former executives.
The deal was announced by Russia's President Vladimir Putin and confirmed by Turkey. The two nations, which back opposing sides, will act as guarantors.
The High Negotiations Committee (HNC), regarded by the UN as Syria's main opposition body, confirmed the deal, which excludes jihadist groups.
If the truce holds, peace talks will be held in Kazakhstan within a month.
At least 300,000 people are believed to have been killed in fighting that followed the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad in March 2011.
A further four million have fled the country to seek refuge in neighbouring states or Europe.
How Moscow’s Syria campaign has paid off for Putin
Aleppo: Before and after the battle
Why is there a war in Syria?
On the one side, Syrian government forces, their factional allies and the Russian military.
On the other, the Free Syrian Army (FSA), a loose alliance of several moderate rebel factions, plus other groups under the High Negotiations Committee (HNC), the umbrella group representing Syria's political and armed opposition factions.
FSA spokesman Osama Abu Zaid said there were 13 armed opposition factions in all who had signed up.
The Russian defence ministry listed seven of the main rebel groups included in the truce as Faylaq al-Sham; Ahrar al-Sham; Jaysh al-Islam; Thuwwar Ahl al-Sham; Jaysh al-Mujahidin; Jaysh Idlib and al-Jabhah al-Shamiyah.
Ahrar al-Sham and Jaysh al-Islam (Army of Islam) are the key names, neither of them part of the FSA.
Jihadists. So-called Islamic State (IS) "and the groups affiliated to them" are not part of the agreement, Syria's army confirmed.
It also said Jabhat Fateh al-Sham (formerly the Nusra Front) was excluded. However, some rebel officials told Reuters it was part of the deal, giving a hint of the complications that lie ahead.
This is because JFS is intrinsically linked in Idlib province to groups that have signed up to the truce.
The FSA also said that the deal did not include the Kurdish Popular Protection Units (YPG).
The YPG, along with other Kurdish militias, controls a large area of northern Syria up the Turkish border. It is regarded by Turkey as a terrorist organisation and an extension of the banned Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).
It is nominally nationwide, although that really only covers the areas where the sides who have signed up to the truce have a presence.
Looking at the map, there are large swathes under both jihadist and Kurdish control.
One area that is included is the rebel-held area of Ghouta in eastern Damascus, where government forces have been advancing in recent months.
Announcing the deal in Moscow, Mr Putin said there were three key points:
Under the terms of the deal, the peace talks would begin within a month of the ceasefire taking effect - and holding - and would be held in the capital of Kazakhstan, Astana.
The Kurdish YPG would not take part in the peace talks, the FSA said.
Previous ceasefire initiatives this year brokered by the UN, or the US acting with Russia, quickly collapsed.
But earlier this month, Russia and Turkey negotiated a ceasefire in Syria's second city, Aleppo, that led to tens of thousands of rebel fighters and civilians being evacuated from an enclave besieged by government forces.
The fact that the rebels have been losing ground may help this truce.
The HNC admitted on Thursday that, because of the rebels' limited resources against government forces and their allies, it was "not possible to continue" the fight.
Mr Putin himself described the deal as "fragile".
He said Russia would cut its military presence in Syria but made it clear Moscow would "continue fighting international terrorism and supporting the Syrian government".
Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Muallem said there was now a "real chance of finding a political solution" but that the rebels taking part must distance themselves from IS and former al-Qaeda fighters.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said a "window of opportunity" had been created that "should not be wasted". He vowed to continue fighting IS and "terrorist groups".
Difficulties lie ahead in peace talks. Turkey has already called for the Lebanese Hezbollah movement - linked to Syria's ally Iran - to leave Syrian soil, which is sure to cause problems.
UN envoy for Syria, Staffan de Mistura, welcomed the new deal, saying he hoped it would save lives and improve aid delivery.
"These developments should contribute to inclusive and productive intra-Syrian negotiations to be convened under UN auspices on 8 February," he said.
The US state department said the deal was a "positive development" which it hoped would be "implemented and fully respected by all parties".
One rebel commander told Reuters: "This time I have confidence in its seriousness. There is new international input."
The FSA said it would abide by the truce but would retaliate against violations by government forces and their allies.
The FSA's Osama Abu Zaid said it had so far had no direct talks with the Syrian government and still insisted that President Assad would have no place in the future of Syria.
The Police Ombudsman found the officers had failed to give information to detectives investigating the attempted murder of a colleague.
Peadar Heffron was seriously injured by a dissident republican bomb in 2010.
Repeated requests for intelligence did not get any meaningful response, the Police Ombudsman's report said.
It recommended that four intelligence officers should receive written warnings for not providing the information requested by the detectives.
However, the PSNI disagreed and imposed a lower level of sanction on two of them.
Chief Constable George Hamilton and his deputy, Drew Harris, met Policing Board members in a private session on Tuesday to discuss the report and their response.
Afterwards, Policing Board Chair Anne Connolly said there had been a "full and frank discussion" between the board and the chief constable.
"The chief constable has been asked by the board to consider if there are any further measures that now need to be taken on the back of the report, and the board has also asked its human rights adviser to conduct a review of arrangements," she said.
She said board members had sought assurances about the support being provided to Mr Heffron, "and very much welcome that he has now received an apology from the PSNI".
As captain of the PSNI's Gaelic football team and an Irish language speaker, Constable Heffron was a target for dissident republicans trying to deter Catholics from joining the Police Service of Northern Ireland.
His leg was amputated and he suffered other serious injuries after a bomb exploded under his car in Randalstown, County Antrim. He has since left the police.
Celtic beat Aberdeen 7-0, with Suzanne Mulvey scoring a hat-trick in the second round's only all-top flight tie.
Last season's runners-up Hibernian put 11 past Boroughmuir and Jeanfield Swifts routed Ross County 18-0.
Rangers, Dundee United, Dunfermline, Stirling University, Hearts, Renfrew, Glasgow Girls and Granite City also enjoyed comfortable victories.
Spartans and Forfar Farmington progressed after their games went to extra-time, while Raith Rovers edged out Dee Ladies.
Experienced Scotland striker Ross scored the first of her nine goals for Premier League leaders City after two minutes.
It was 10-0 when East Kilbride lost goalkeeper Amy Hiddleton to injury, with an outfield player putting on the gloves and letting in another five before the half time interval.
Ross, who has 122 international caps, completed her scoring with the 25th goal of the day, with Sarah Crilly finishing off the rout for a hat-trick.
Erin Cuthbert and Brogan Hay also grabbed three goals apiece.
While City are experienced Champions League campaigners, this is East Kilbride's debut season in Division Two Central, where they have won once in eight games.
The victory is not a record for Scotland's dominant women's team; that came in 2010 with a 29-0 success against Kilmarnock.

None of the students at Hermitage Academy in Helensburgh sits exams in their fourth year.
The school argues students have a better chance of success if they spend two years studying towards their Highers instead.
But hundreds of parents say the system is not working and have signed a petition calling for an urgent rethink.
They claim the system at Hermitage is disadvantaging students and argue more are now failing exams or even leaving school with no qualifications.
Councillors say they have noted the concerns and a review of the system is under way.
The new National 4 and 5 qualifications replaced Standard Grades across Scotland two years ago.
At most schools, academically able students spend S4 studying for National 5 qualifications while others do a mix of National 4 and 5 qualifications.
Pupils with National 5s can then go on to study for their Highers.
But Hermitage Academy has adopted an unusual approach.
At the end of S3, all students - regardless of academic ability- choose the six subjects they would eventually like to achieve a Higher in. For some, inevitably, this may prove more of an aspiration than a likely outcome.
There are no exams in S4 but at the end of S5 students sit exams for the qualification they have they best chance of getting at that point. For some this may be a Higher, for others it may be a National 5.
The risk is that if a candidate fails, they may end up with no qualification at all in that subject although they can choose to retake a course in S6.
Some parents claim Hermitage is using their children as guinea pigs and argue the school's unusual approach is not working out.
They have formed a campaign group, Parents for Change, and want Hermitage to move to the more conventional system used at most other schools. Hundreds have also signed a petition.
Spokesman Kevin Middleton said some able pupils may not do as well as they might have in their Highers if that was their first experience of an exam. He argued sitting National 5 exams in fourth year could prove good practice for them.
Concerns have also been raised locally by teachers' unions.
A spokesman for Argyll and Bute Council said Hermitage had originally developed its model in consultation with parents but acknowledged there were concerns.
He said: "Following receipt of examination results, it is appropriate that all schools review their curriculum and the review of Hermitage Academy's curricular model began following the summer recess.
"These reviews underpin our commitment to providing the very best education experience for each individual pupil.
"As we progress with the review of Hermitage Academy's curricular model, parents, pupils, staff and members will be involved.
"It is expected that the review report will be completed by the end of November, in the meantime, should any parent have a specific concern they wish to discuss regarding their child's progress, we would encourage them to make contact with the school to discuss the position and the supports in place."
The concerns have already reached the council chamber.
On Thursday, councillors rejected a motion which would have seen Hermitage start to give S4 students the chance to sit up to eight National 5 qualifications.
But they backed a detailed amendment which noted the concerns that had been expressed.
The amendment also noted that the council's education service had started a review of the curricular model at Hermitage in conjunction with the school's management team.
The changes to the exam system across Scotland started to be introduced during the school year 2013-14.
Standard Grades were scrapped - the National 5 qualification is broadly equivalent to a Credit pass in a Standard Grade.
Overall, the aim now is to concentrate on what qualifications a youngster has obtained by the time they leave school - not what they have achieved by a particular stage or the total number of exam passes.
For many academically-able youngsters, a National 5 qualification is merely a stepping stone on the way to a Higher just as an O Grade or Standard Grade used to be. The question is whether gaining the lower qualification first is actually any help.
Although Hermitage's approach is unusual, a number of schools now offer able students the chance to bypass National 5s on a subject-by-subject basis so they can spend two years studying towards Highers. Advocates of the concept say this minimises exam stress and maximises the candidate's chance of a good grade.
Spreading the course over two years can help avoid the sudden increase in workload and expectation which can hit students at the start of a Higher course in S5 - the so-called "two-term dash".
US law firm Scott and Scott is claiming Tesco's overstatement of its profits last year caused a "permanent destruction of value to shareholders".
Scott and Scott said it was in "active discussions" with institutions in the UK and Europe about filing a claim, but that none had yet signed up.
Tesco declined to comment on the possible action.
The firm has already filed a class action lawsuit against the supermarket chain in the US, accusing it of misleading investors.
"International institutions asked us to find a way to bring a claim in the UK which they can join," said David Scott, managing partner at Scott and Scott.
Scott and Scott is funding a UK law firm to represent the group, known as Tesco Shareholder Claims Limited, to try to muster enough support for a potential claim.
In September, the supermarket chain stunned investors when it said that it had mis-stated its half-year profit guidance by £250m - a figure that was subsequently revised to £263m.
Following the announcement, Tesco's shares fell to a 14-year low of 164.8p, but have since recovered to trade at around 246p.
Tesco Shareholder Claims said it believed that, had the accounting irregularities not taken place, both the share price and the value of the company would be "materially higher".
The move follows a similar claim from UK law firm Stewarts Law, which said last year it was seeking Tesco shareholders to participate in a lawsuit to establish whether they were entitled to compensation.
Separately, the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) is currently carrying out a criminal investigation into the accounting irregularities at Tesco.
Several senior executives left in the wake of the scandal and new chief executive Dave Lewis, who joined Tesco from Unilever in September, has pledged to slash costs and sell assets to fund lower prices and mend Tesco's finances.
On Monday, Patrick Cescau, who was the director closely involved in the replacement of the supermarket's chief executive and chairman, became the latest senior executive to leave.
Tesco said he would retire from the board on 7 April 2015 following six years as a non-executive director.
Reversing the imagery of beheadings by the jihadist group, Jaysh al-Islam members wearing orange outfits are seen killing 18 men dressed in black.
The video says they are being shot in revenge for the recent beheading of three Jaysh al-Islam fighters.
The Saudi-backed group also accuses IS of being allied to Syria's government.
Eighteen months of fierce fighting between IS and rebel groups, who have denounced the jihadists' brutal tactics and mistreatment of civilian opposition supporters, have left thousands dead.
Led by the former imprisoned Salafist activist Zahran Alloush, Jaysh al-Islam (Army of Islam) has been battling IS in the Ghouta agricultural belt around Damascus.
The 20-minute video published on Jaysh al-Islam's website on Tuesday mimics those produced by IS to announce the killing of government soldiers and Western hostages.
It includes similarly sectarian language, with IS members accused of betraying their fellow Sunni Muslims and allying themselves with "enemy Shia" and "Nusayris", a derogatory term for the heterodox Alawite sect to which President Bashar al-Assad belongs.
But in a clear subversion, the alleged IS fighters dressed in black robes with black balaclavas are shown being marched in chains through the Syrian countryside by armed men wearing the orange clothes which IS captives have been forced to wear before their deaths.
The last part of the video shows the 18 men in black kneeling before their Jaysh al-Islam captors, who remove their balaclavas before shooting them in the head with rifles.
Analysts say the video marks a further escalation in the conflict between Syrian rebels and IS.
Last week, IS released a video that showed the beheading of 12 rebels, including at least three from Jaysh al-Islam and one from al-Nusra Front, al-Qaeda's affiliate in Syria.
Members of the Biafran Zionist Movement declared independence, raised the Biafran flag and then marched through the region's main town, Enugu.
More than one million people died during the 1967-70 Biafran conflict - mostly from hunger and disease.
Most of those arrested were young men but some were veterans of the war.
They were all remanded in custody.
The BZM first gathered on Sunday to mark the birthday of former Biafran leader Chukwuemeka Ojukwu, who died in November 2011 and was buried in March.
The BBC's Will Ross in Lagos says that 45 years after the Biafran flag was first raised - an action which sparked Nigeria's civil war - a small number of separatists still keep their dream alive, despite the threat of being charged with treason.
Our correspondent says the war has been put back in the spotlight as the renowned Nigerian writer Chinua Achebe has just released his memoirs of the conflict.
He also notes that as the novel Half of a Yellow Sun by the author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is being made into a film, this traumatic period of Nigeria's history is set to reach a wider audience.
The Biafran leaders were mostly from the Igbo ethnic group, whose members were targeted by rioters in northern areas following a 1966 coup seen as being led by Igbo officers.

"Make no mistake, that was a really, really tough game and I'm just delighted to be in the hat.
"It wasn't vintage and it was difficult but that's what we're going to get now - we've got this home record, what do you expect?
"Teams are going to come here, sit behind the ball, try and press and squeeze us and deny us place. Maybe last year we would have last that game 2-1 or 3-1 but such is the character of the boys that we've come out with a win and we're in the hat."

The British number one had been based in Gijon in Spain with Carril and Jose-Manuel Garcia.
"After two and a half successful years working together we have mutually agreed to explore new options," said 25-year-old Konta.
"Once things are confirmed we will share the new set-up."
Konta, who is preparing for the new season at the National Tennis Centre in Roehampton, reached the semi-finals of the Australian Open in January and won her first WTA Tour title at Stanford in June.
Ranked world number 147 in June 2015, she climbed to a career-high position of ninth and is currently in 10th place.
She won the WTA's most improved player of the year award for 2016.
Konta became the first British woman to reach the top 10 of the world rankings since Jo Durie achieved the feat in 1984.
BBC tennis correspondent Russell Fuller
The split comes as quite a surprise given Konta's stellar year. With the help of Carril and Garcia, the British number one has transformed her career and only time will tell how the decision might affect her in 2017.
Konta is also trying to come to terms with the terrible loss of her mental coach Juan Coto, who died suddenly three weeks ago.
Juan Coto played a significant role in Konta's climb from 150 in the world rankings and, as a friend of Carril, formed an integral part of the coaching team.
Konta says she has been much better at keeping the sport in perspective since they started working together. In that time, she has become very adept at closing out tight matches, and a player very worthy of her position in the world's top 10.
The preliminary estimate is down from 2.7% in June, according to the European Union statistics office Eurostat.
The July reading comes as a surprise after data earlier this week suggested inflation in Germany, Europe's largest economy, edged up to 2.4%.
The ECB has raised rates twice so far this year to try to control inflation.
The central bank wants to keep inflation below 2%.
No change had been expected in the inflation rate in July.
It is not clear what drove the decline, as Eurostat's initial estimate does not give a breakdown of the numbers - that is only released with the final estimate.
Economists said that the chance of the ECB raising rates from the current 1.5% before the end of the year now appeared less likely.
"While a further interest rate hike in the fourth quarter is clearly very possible, we suspect that slowing eurozone growth and recurrent sovereign debt problems will present an increasingly compelling case for the ECB to hold off from further monetary policy tightening this year," said Howard Archer from IHS Global Insight.
"We also anticipate that the case for further ECB action in 2011 will be diluted by mounting evidence that the second-round inflationary effects from higher energy and commodity prices are being contained.
"We currently expect the ECB to keep interest rates at 1.5% through the rest of 2011, then lift them gradually further to 2.25% by the end of 2012."
The force has bought Alverton Court, which used to house the Rural Payments Agency, to replace its current home at Newby Wiske Hall.
The new building cost £4.5m and fitting it out is expected to be an additional £2.5m.
Police and Crime Commissioner Julia Mulligan claimed the new HQ would save the force £4m over the next 30 years.
"Moving from a Grade II listed stately home, costing over £1m a year to run, into this much more practical and modern building is very welcome indeed," she said.
"Reducing the cost of North Yorkshire Police's estate is an important part of meeting our savings targets, and frees resources which we can focus on front-line policing; resources which will become increasingly scarce over the next few years."
The new headquarters building is located six miles away from Newby Wiske Hall, which will be sold.
Last year the force shelved its £18m plan to buy a site in Thirsk because it "no longer offered value for money".
The new building is expected to be operational by autumn 2017.
The 26-year-old played a pivotal role as Wales reached the semi-finals of Euro 2016 and was named in Uefa's team of the tournament.
At club level Allen featured in the Europa League final for Liverpool before leaving the Reds for Premier League Stoke City in July.
Allen reflects on a busy 12 months with former Wales and Swansea City team-mate Owain Tudur Jones in a programme which will be broadcast on Radio Cymru on Boxing Day.
Allen played in all six of Wales' games at the European Championship finals in France, their first appearance at a major tournament in 58 years.
"It was an incredible experience and one of those things I find myself thinking back to almost all of the time," Allen said.
"Going into the opening game against Slovakia, everyone knew this was our time. I remember going out to warm up and seeing red everywhere in the stadium.
"The fans were special and made so much of a difference to all of the players.
"The memories I have are all fond memories."
Allen had joined Liverpool from Swansea for £15m during the summer of 2012 but had mixed fortunes at Anfield.
Even though he had one year of his contract remaining, Allen opted to move on after starting only eight Premier League games during the 2015-16 season.
His substitute appearance in Liverpool's Europa League final defeat to Sevilla proved to be his final game for Jurgen Klopp's team.
"It's not an easy decision to leave a huge club like Liverpool," Allen added.
"I was there for four years and had the experience of playing in Champions League games and the Europa League final.
"I remember after the final in Basel, as well as feeling disappointed about losing the game, I felt it was possibly the last game I'd played for Liverpool.
"I knew the time was right for me to move on and get my career up and running at another club."
Following his performances for Wales at Euro 2016, Allen was linked with clubs from the Premier League and abroad.
Former club Swansea City declared their interest in re-signing the player but he joined Stoke City, managed by fellow Welshman Mark Hughes.
"I'd heard in the press that there was possible interest from Swansea in me going back there but it was Stoke that came in for me," Allen said.
"A whirlwind summer ended with me signing for Stoke.
"I was really excited to get things underway after the Euros and to start a new chapter in my career with Stoke.
"The results at the start of the season weren't great but we've picked up and I've had chance to play in a number of games. I'm enjoying my time here."
Allen has never been noted for his goalscoring prowess, netting only 15 goals prior to the current season and failing to find the net for Wales.
He scored his first international goal in September's 4-0 World Cup qualifying win over Moldova, followed by a stunning volley in the next game against Austria in Vienna.
Playing in a more advanced role for Stoke, Allen hit a rich vein of goalscoring form for his club with four goals in three games and has scored five so far this season.
"It's a great feeling scoring for your country. It's a really proud moment," Allen said.
"It had been a long while coming after 30-odd caps but it didn't make it any less sweeter and in some way there was relief to get it.
"The goal against Austria showed the confidence I had at that time after scoring my first goal against Moldova and had scored a couple for Stoke.
"I didn't think twice. I just hit it with my left foot - which is strange in itself - and it's one of the best goals that I've scored."
Allen's performances for Wales were recognised and, along with fellow Wales midfielder Aaron Ramsey, he was named in Uefa's Euro 2016 team of the tournament.
He was also named the players' and fans' player of the year at the annual Football Association of Wales awards, much to his surprise.
"It means so much but it was such a shock," Allen said.
"To get those awards meant so much to me and I will treasure both of them very much.
"I had a couple of difficult years at Liverpool and been a laughing stock a few times so things have changed a bit."
Allen and his Stoke City side have a busy festive schedule, including a return to former club Liverpool on 27 December.
Wales resume their World Cup qualifying campaign in the New Year.
Chris Coleman's side are third in their group and four points behind group leaders the Republic of Ireland, who they face in Dublin on 24 March.
"A good start to 2017 with a win out in Ireland would be perfect," he said.
"We're confident we can do it and get things back on track to qualify for Russia."

Police say the attack happened at Hillmount Park in the early hours of Thursday.
Damage was caused to the front door and window of the property.
A man living at the house was not injured in the incident.
KPMG confirmed they had been appointed as administrators at the request of the company's director.
It said that 123 staff had been made redundant with immediate effect, with a further 56 workers retained.
Administrators urged anyone who was interested in the company's business or assets to contact them "as soon as possible".
The company's manufacturing heritage dates back to 1874 but it has been experiencing "difficult trading conditions" in recent years due to increasing production costs and reducing margins.
Recent mild winters have also been blamed for reduced demand for heavier winter garments.
Attempts to secure new investment proved unsuccessful leaving the director with "no option" but to place the company into administration.
Administrators said they were "assessing all available options" to complete garments in progress and see whether an early sale of the business, brands, infrastructure and assets could be secured.

Anyone who knows the Borders knows how central the textiles industry has been and remains for the region.
It may not be the powerhouse it once was, but it is still a major employer in the area.
It has suffered a number of setbacks in recent years but this latest blow is a hugely significant one.
If no buyer can be found, then nearly 180 jobs will have been lost in a town with a population of about 14,000.
It means few locals will be untouched by news that a firm with a manufacturing tradition going back more than 140 years has entered administration.
Blair Nimmo, head of restructuring for KPMG in Scotland, said: "Hawick Knitwear has an excellent reputation in the industry.
"The company benefits from its heritage and established infrastructure together with a developing brand and a highly-skilled workforce, which we believe will be an asset to prospective purchasers.
"Unfortunately, extremely difficult market conditions have led to the current position."
He said it was "regrettable" that a high level of redundancies had been necessary but said they would be working with employees and government agencies to ensure that the "full range of support" was available to those affected.
"In the meantime, we would encourage any party who has an interest in the company's business and assets to contact us as soon as possible," he added.
Berwickshire, Roxburgh and Selkirk MP Calum Kerr described the news as "shattering for Hawick and the Borders".
He said he had contacted Scottish Enterprise to see what support it could provide and would also be speaking to administrators.
"I believe that real opportunities do exist for the business to succeed," he added.
Ettrick, Roxburgh and Berwickshire MSP John Lamont also described the announcement as "devastating news".
"It is a massive shock to lose such a well-respected and big name as Hawick Knitwear," he said.
He called on the Scottish government to do all it could to support those affected and is seeking an urgent meeting with administrators.
The Hawick firm has gone through some significant changes in recent years.
In 2008 and 2009 it announced two rounds of job cuts within a matter of months.
The following year it was the subject of a management takeover and, in 2012, Bolton-based Ruia Group purchased a 50% stake in the business.
Two years later business troubleshooter Lord Digby Jones was called in to give the firm advice on how to improve performance.
Joe Bartley, 89, from Paignton in Devon, put an ad in the Herald Express pleading for a job to stop him from "dying of boredom".
The Cantina restaurant made him a waiter and kitchenhand and on Wednesday night he got a kiss from staff at the Christmas party.
"They are lovely people here, I had a great time," he said.

Former serviceman Mr Bartley said he had felt very lonely after his wife Cassie died two years ago, which spurred him to place the unusual ad.
"Last night was our Christmas party which Joe enjoyed very much," the Cantina posted on its Facebook page.
"Joe has worked two full weeks now, he's working the 20 hours a week he asked for and is really enjoying it.
"He does a variety of tasks around the place. One day he'll be peeling potatoes the next polishing cutlery.
"He's getting to meet people and is a very useful member of the team."
Mr Bartley said: "I do all kinds of things here - you do what has got to be done and don't wait for people to ask you.
"I'm 90 next year and I hope to still be here for that party."
His wages are going towards his rent for a flat so he does not rely so much on housing benefit.
"That was the other reason for getting a job," he said.
"I like to pay my own way."
Actors are being dispatched around the world to film their lines on locations where the plays are set.
Fans of the bard can expect to see Cleopatra in Egypt, Julius Caesar in the Roman Forum and Hamlet at Elsinore.
Each 10-minute film will be screened along a two-mile stretch of the River Thames in London on 23-24 April 2016.
"It's a great marker just to look at how international Shakespeare's reach is, and quite how much he belongs to the world," said the project's mastermind, Dominic Dromgoole, artistic director at Shakespeare's Globe.
He said the films would "capture the essence" of each play and act as a "sharp, tangy introduction" to people who knew nothing about it.
During the next six months, the mini-movies will be shot, with noted Shakespearean actors - names yet to be announced - reciting speeches from the plays against the appropriate backdrop.
Additional locations will include Shylock in Venice's Jewish Ghetto, Romeo and Juliet in Verona, Henry VIII and Wolsey at Hampton Court and King Lear and Cordelia on Dover beach.
Films will include clips from the Globe's in-house productions and additional material shot at Shakespeare's birthplace at Stratford-upon-Avon.
On the anniversary weekend in April, the films will be shown on 37 big screens erected between Westminster and Tower Bridges on a stretch dubbed The Complete Walk.
"We thought it was important that London was at the centre of it, as Shakespeare did most of his work here and those plays were first seen here," said Dromgoole, who steps down at the Globe in April after a decade at the helm.
The public will be able to dip in to individual plays, or take in the full works. "It would be wonderful if they sat and watched 10 minutes of every single one, but I can't imagine people doing that," Dromgoole said.
The most far-flung piece of filming is likely to be for Antony and Cleopatra at the Pyramids in Egypt, although Dromgoole said he had been lobbied for The Tempest scenes to be shot in Barbados.
"A couple of actors suggested that they be flown out there for a day's filming. I'm not sure we're going to run to that. It should probably be on an island between Tunis and Milan."
The £500,000 project is being paid for by the Globe, with support from the British Council, the mayor of London and an anonymous donor. It is hoped the films will also be presented in cities across the UK and internationally throughout 2016.
The anniversary weekend will also see the return of a two-year world tour of Hamlet, which will have its four final performances back on the Globe's open-air stage after travelling to some 195 countries.
Mr Renzi made the plea after heavy rainfall caused flooding there, damaging walls and buildings.
The site, where volcanic ash smothered a Roman city in AD79, has suffered slow degradation for many years.
On Tuesday, Italy's culture minister said he would unblock 2m euros ($2.8m) "to get the machine working".
Priority will also be given to work to reduce the risk of flooding in unexcavated areas.
Mr Renzi made the request for funding at a news conference on Wednesday.
"Italy is the land of culture, and so I challenge entrepreneurs: What are you waiting for?" he said.
"The ideological refusal to permit the private sector to intervene - as if only the public sector could guarantee the guardianship of heritage - must end."
"If the private sector can keep the wall standing upright, why not allow it to?" he asked.
Aged 39, Matteo Renzi became Italy's youngest prime minister last month.
He has vowed to bring "radical and immediate change" to Italy's struggling economy.
The Italian government has already called upon the private sector to help restore other ancient monuments, including the Colosseum in Rome and the Trevi fountain.
Italy's culture budget has suffered from cutbacks in recent years, leading the United Nations and European Union to issue warnings about the state of the country's historical sites.
The ancient city of Pompeii one of the world's greatest archaeological treasures. Every year, some 2.5m tourists visit the site, near the southern city of Naples.
Despite the money they generate, there have been allegations that Pompeii - designated a World Heritage site by the UN cultural organisation, Unesco - has been neglected and underfunded.
Last year, the 105m-euro ($145m) "Great Pompeii" rehabilitation project was launched, with the EU contributing 41.8m euros. However, one Italian newspaper said on Tuesday that only 588,000 euros had been spent.
Bangor University's dementia centre is leading the research, which is being run across three sites in Wales and England.
The sessions with participants include art appreciation and hands-on work and is being carried out over three months.
The works are going on display at Age Cymru's shop in Bangor from Wednesday.
The results of the Dementia and Imagination research are expected in 2016.
The man, who does not want to be identified, moved to Northern Ireland last month to begin working at Queen's.
On Wednesday, he was contacted by someone claiming to be from the Home Office who demanded money from him.
They said he was being investigated for financial crime in India and would have to leave the UK unless he paid a fine.
The man replied that he did not have the £1,800 they were demanding, but did agree to transfer almost £1,200 to the fraudsters.
In a bid to warn other potential victims of the scam, the man has spoken anonymously to BBC News NI reporter, Kelly Bonner.
"Unfortunately, I made the transfer," the researcher said.
"I consider myself fairly educated, but if it can happen to me, it can happen to anyone."
The man, who moved to Northern Ireland with his wife and two young children, said he is now struggling to support his family.
According to the PSNI, 17% of people living in Northern Ireland have been the victim of a scam in the last three years.
However, this figure does not include the thousands of others who have recognised a scam or those who have been a victim but did not report it to police.
The advice from the PSNI is, if you are contacted out of the blue, and asked for money or personal details over the phone, then it is probably a scam.
Having led the nation to their fourth World Cup win, Low has seen three established internationals retire and had to name a new assistant head coach. His fitness guru, Shad Forsythe, was even snapped up by Arsenal.
Their first match since being crowned world champions failed to capture the party atmosphere expected as Argentina, led by the impressive Angel Di Maria, ran out 4-2 winners in Dusseldorf.
Manchester United's British record signing Di Maria, the man who missed the World Cup final in Rio as Germany edged it 1-0, proved a nightmare for left-back Erik Durm, creating three and scoring the other.
Before kick-off there was a farewell to several key components of the World Cup-winning side, as Bayern Munich's Philipp Lahm, Lazio's Miroslav Klose and Per Mertesacker of Arsenal bowed out of the international game with 354 international appearances between them.
And it leaves Low with a little soul searching to do before the Germans kick off their bid to reach the 2016 European Championships in France.
It's certainly worth noting, though, that the Germans had not convinced everyone of their credentials in the build-up to the World Cup in Brazil.
They drew with Cameroon and Poland in warm-up fixtures, and stuttered to a lucky 1-0 win over Chile in Stuttgart.
Defensive concerns had plagued the team in 2013. Germany conceded three goals against Paraguay and another three to Sweden in October. In that summer, the Germans lost 4-3 against the United States and conceded two in a victory over Ecuador.
The defensive weakness appears to be a mix of small things, rather than one overriding factor. Injuries have played a part and uncertainty over who should play as defensive midfielder is also an issue for Low.
Against Argentina these issues were to the fore as poor concentration, aerial weakness and a lack of cohesion between defence and midfield cost them.
Germany's attack is also in the spotlight, and more specifically 'the Gomez dilemma'.
Along with Marco Reus, Mario Gomez returned to the fold after recovering from two knee injuries in his first season at Italian club Fiorentina.
His return is a welcome one given Klose's retirement, but 29-year-old Gomez was anything but convincing against Argentina, missing a number of clear-cut chances.
Scoring 25 times in 60 internationals is a good record, but most of Gomez's goals have come in friendlies and minor qualifiers. There's a school of thought in Germany that Gomez and his type of orthodox penalty box frontman hinders the team.
Switching from defence to attack in the blink of an eye is what this generation of German players have mastered. With Reus, Julian Draxler, Thomas Muller and Toni Kroos, Low has a great range of dynamic, technically and tactically astute attacking midfielders.
Finding the balance and what suits the collective will be one of the manager's biggest tasks, and Gomez might find it tough to stay in Low's starting XI as pace is such a valued commodity.
There was no Gomez in Brazil and Low was unable to find a convincing combination in the early matches, as Mario Gotze and Muller shared the 'false nine' slot until Klose's inclusion.
Muller continues to thrive for Bayern Munich in an inside-right position, while his team-mate Gotze is struggling to find form. A return to a system without a focal point is unlikely for Low.
The manager does, however, have options galore to consider.
Hoffenheim forward Kevin Volland is one of the most complete attackers in the Bundesliga.
The 21-year-old is a chunky and powerful attacker who hit nine goals and set up another 11 last season. He forced his way into Germany's preliminary squad for the training camp, but failed to secure a seat on the plane to Brazil.
There's also the Stefan Kiessling conundrum. The Bayer Leverkusen striker was the Bundesliga's leading marksman in 2012-13, and was the top-scoring German in the league last season. He remains well out of the international picture, though, and his relationship with Low is such that a return to the fold is unlikely.
Meanwhile, the likes of Borussia Monchengladbach's Max Kruse and Pierre-Michel Lasogga of Hamburg have some convincing to do this term.
The 45,000-odd fans in Dusseldorf whistled Gomez as he passed up three great chances against Argentina, but the likelihood is that he will line up against Scotland on Sunday.
Gomez's inclusion might not hinder Germany's passage to Euro 2016, but it's a barrier that likely needs to be hurdled if Low's side are to dominate the international scene as Spain did before them.

Mourinho has named eight players who could make their debuts in his squad for Sunday's last Premier League game of the season against Crystal Palace.
"To play so many kids at the same time, honestly, I don't think is good. You want them to be surrounded by players who support them," said the Portuguese.
United are guaranteed sixth place, while Palace are safe from relegation.
Sam Allardyce's side are 13th going into the match at Old Trafford (15:00 BST kick-off), but a victory and other results going their way could see them finish as high as 11th.
Mourinho's side face Ajax in the Europa League final in Stockholm on Wednesday knowing victory will earn them a place in the group stages of next season's Champions League.
Goalkeepers: Kieran O'Hara (21), Joel Castro Pereira (20).
Defender: Demetri Mitchell (20).
Midfielders: Zachary Dearnley (19), Angel Gomes (16), Josh Harrop (21), Scott McTominay (20), Matthew Willock (20).
In addition, striker Marcus Rashford, who has 11 goals this season, defender Timothy Fosu-Mensah, who has played 10 times this season, and Axel Tuanzebe, who has played four times, should be in the United squad on Sunday. All three are 19.
United have already won the EFL Cup this season, and Mourinho's team selection has Wednesday's Europa League final in mind.
Mourinho said Paul Pogba - the world's most expensive player - will play on Sunday having missed the past two games after the death of his father, while fellow midfielder Marouane Fellaini will have a scan on a hamstring injury.
Meanwhile, captain Wayne Rooney - who has been linked with a summer transfer - may have missed the chance of an Old Trafford farewell, as Mourinho said the England international would "probably not" be involved.
"It's a great experience for the kids but they are not ready. Maybe one at a time but not all together," added the former Chelsea manager.
"I spoke with [Under-23 coach] Nicky Butt and his opinion is important. When they played at Old Trafford, I have been there. They trained with me many times. I know the kids.
"We bring the ones who are more adapted to our team at the moment. Our biggest problem is the number of matches. It is unbelievable."
The pink velvet settee was owned by the girlfriend of Edward, Prince of Wales, Lady Thelma Furness, who lived at Burrough Court in Melton Mowbray.
She introduced Wallis Simpson to the future king but was later jilted.
The three often sat together on the sofa, now going home, Northamptonshire auctioneer Jonathan Humbert said.
When she heard King Edward Vlll wanted to marry Mrs Simpson and she had been jilted, Lady Furness cut up the settee in a fit of pique, Mr Humbert said.
The king would later abdicate in 1936 to allow him to marry Mrs Simpson.
The restored two-seater settee, which originally had three seats, was sold in heavy bidding at the Silverstone auction rooms on 22 May.
Mr Humbert said the price was reached after a battle between a telephone bidder and the current owners of Burrough Court, the former home of Lady Thelma Furness.
"It's a very fitting end to the amazing story of this settee that it should be going home after 80 or so years.
"I am delighted that the current owners of Burrough Court have secured this little piece if British history."
The pink velvet settee had been 'cut down' three years after the trio had first met sitting on the settee at a house party in 1931.
The same sofa was sold at auction in 2009 for £2,150. | Braintree sealed victory against 10-man Halifax who slipped to within a point of the National League relegation zone.

The three animals were each mauled around the neck area by at least one dog in their field in the eastern part of the forest on Thursday.
They were treated by vets and underwent surgery for their wounds. They are all now in a stable condition.
Hampshire police confirmed officers had been called to the scene following the attack and were investigating.
An alpaca in the same field had also been the victim of a dog attack earlier in the year.
The owner, Susan Sears, has farmed the animals for six years and has a herd of about 80 animals which are bred for their wool.
"It's devastating. We've bred these animals and get to know them individually - they've all got their own characters," she said.
She has set up a crowdfunding appeal to help raise money for the animals' treatment.
"You really got me!" read the headline of the Daily Mail's five star review by Quentin Letts. "After an indifferent year for new musical shows in London, here is a belter," he said.
The show, written by Joe Penhall, features many Kinks classics and is named after their 1966 hit single.
It is running at the Hampstead Theatre.
"This show is far better than a mere tribute evening, though it includes lots of Kinks hits. It gives you a strong sense of period - some terrific short hemlines on the girls - yet also well-drawn characters that evolve with the band," Letts continued.
The Telegraph's Charles Spencer also awarded five stars at Thursday's opening, noting the show had "the whole audience up on its feet and in state of blissful euphoria by the end".
He said director Edward Hall "marvellously nails the humour and the pathos of the piece" and praised Miriam Buether's set design featuring scores of speaker cabinets.
"It is an irresistibly enjoyable and touching night, and anyone who loves pop music at its greatest would be mad to miss it," Spencer concluded.
"The songs joyously reach out to the audience, even as they are shown to be rooted in a wider, difficult and daft world of class, family, professional struggle and private agony," said Nick Hasted in his four-star review for The Arts Desk. "In The Kinks' 50th Anniversary year, their spirit could hardly be better revived."
Also awarding four stars, the Evening Standard's Henry Hitchings praised the lead performances.
"John Dagleish is immense as [Ray] Davies, capturing his quirkiness and charisma. His guitarist brother Dave is given an exciting wildness by George Maguire.
"And if at the end we're pretty much coerced into a dancing ovation, some of the show's best moments are in fact its more melancholy and reflective ones. Sunny Afternoon illustrates the brilliance of The Kinks and the incisive songwriting of Davies, and it's surely destined for the West End."
The Stage's Mark Shenton likened Sunny Afternoon to a British version of Jersey Boys, which tells the story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons.
"Though Joe Penhall's script may not be as sharp or well-defined as that of Jersey Boys, it is generously full of heart and especially the soul that propelled The Kinks' music.
"The result is dramatically a bit rough, ready and ragged but it lends the evening a useful whiff of improvisation and spontaneity."
Sunny Afternoon is at Hampstead Theatre until 24 May.
Southwestern Energy was awarded licences to explore for oil or gas by the Oil and Gas Authority last year.
Company director Gerwyn Williams said the county's geology was "very similar to big gas producing areas in the US" and "could be very, very productive".
However, campaigners are concerned it could pave the way for fracking.
Southwestern Energy hold exploration licences for a number of areas close to the Somerset coast, stretching from Clevedon to Minehead.
Mr Williams said: "We know there is oil shales there and we think there are shales that could be very, very productive.
"But we'll need to spend at least another year doing studies and then go through the process of gaining all the permissions - so it's likely to be two years before we look at drilling an exploration well."
Although he said the company's target was for "conventional gas rather than shale gas" he admitted fracking could be an option.
"We know quite a lot about the geology in Somerset and we feel it can produce gas," he said.
"And I'm not going to give up until we see gas being produced from the areas we've been working on."
However, Rachel Stevens from Frack Free Exmoor Quantocks and Sedgemoor, said if fracking was given the green light it could be the "single biggest health, safety, environmental and economic issue" for the region.
"If we are fracking on Exmoor or the Quantocks that is going to have an impact on the Somerset Levels," she said.
"Water travels great distances so you can't just frack in one place in an isolated fashion and not expect it to impact on another."
The process of fracking involves blasting shale rocks with water, chemicals and sand to release the gas trapped within.
The plant's operators, EDF Energy, said the incident was unplanned and the manual shutdown took place on Wednesday during routine maintenance.
The station's director has issued a statement that said there were no safety, health or environmental impacts.
It is the first unplanned shutdown this year.
Paul Winkle, Torness Power Station director, said: "Whilst carrying out routine maintenance in the conventional turbine part of the plant there was an issue with a valve and our operations team took prompt action and manually shutdown the reactor, putting safety first.
"Cooling to the reactor was maintained at all times and there were no safety, health or environmental impacts.
"The reactor will be returned to power as soon as maintenance is satisfactorily completed."
Lang Banks, WWF Scotland director, said: "This might be the first unplanned shutdown at Torness this year, but given similar incidents in the past few years it's clear that nuclear power is showing itself to be an increasingly unreliable source of energy.
"It underlines why Scotland is right to be choosing to harness more power from renewable energy sources."
Torness power station's two nuclear reactors generate enough electricity to power more than two million homes and started operating in 1988.
The station employs more than 500 full-time staff and about 250 full-time contract partners.
The BBC's in-house cartoonist Kirtish Bhat picks five news events to give his humorous take on 2016.
Two news events in February were all about freedom. One firm launched the world's cheapest smartphone, priced at 251 rupees ($3.67; £3), and called it Freedom 251. At the same time, police arrested some students in Delhi's Jawaharlal Nehru University for allegedly raising anti-India slogans, and demanding "freedom" for Kashmir from Indian rule. The students denied the allegations, but they were charged with sedition. Later, they were freed on bail.
India's flamboyant businessman Vijay Mallya made his fortune selling beer under the Kingfisher brand and branched out into aviation, Formula1 racing, and Indian cricket.

Tidal Lagoon Power (TLP) received backing by the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) in June.
TLP said it had taken a "pragmatic" decision to delay construction, as talks are ongoing over how much electricity subsidy will be paid.
Work was due to get under way in 2016.
TLP is also waiting for a marine licence from Natural Resources Wales and a lease from the Crown Estate.
A spokesman for TLP said: "Our Board has updated the target for the construction programme.
"The building needs to start in the spring, but first we need the remaining permissions, CfD (contract for difference) and financial close. So the pragmatic decision for spring 2016 is to move to spring 2017."
The CfD deal is crucial - as it sets out how much the government is willing to pay towards the energy generated.
The Welsh government accused the UK government of "dithering over funding".
A spokesman said: "Earlier this week we saw the closure of Mabey Bridge in Monmouthshire due to disarray in the UK Government's energy policy and now we face the prospect of a delay to this major project because of dithering over funding from the UK Government.
"We will continue to push the UK Government to ensure this ambitious project is realised and brings significant benefits to Wales."
The tidal lagoon on the eastern side of Swansea Bay, between the docks and the new university campus, would use the flow and ebb of the tide to generate energy, which would then be converted into electricity.
But before the lagoon becomes a reality, there are two main challenges that need to be met:
Thousands of construction and manufacturing jobs could be created, especially if five much bigger lagoons are built in the Severn estuary and off the north Wales coast.
It could also boost to the UK's standing as a generator of clean, green energy.
Three elements are needed before Swansea's lagoon can be built - a marine licence by NRW, a lease agreement with Crown Estate and most importantly a subsidy for the power generated of £168 per megawatt hour (pmh) of energy generated.
So far DECC officials and ministers are taking their time.
Why? Well because this governmental support that's been requested is the most expensive yet. Hinkley C's proposed nuclear plant will - if built - receive between £89-£92.50/pmh.
Also, the support requested is over a 35 year period.
This support is public money, at a time when austerity cuts have come thick and fast in many public services.
According to DECC there's no specific timetable for the financial negotiations, and it is pursuing a diligence process to assess TLP's plans.
The weather is also of critical importance - any construction out to sea has to start during the spring to allow enough work to be done at a time of expected good weather. It's thought to be too much of a risk to start work mid-summer or during the autumn.
What excites the UK government is that the Swansea lagoon if seen to be successful, could lead to a string of other lagoons - much larger ones near Cardiff, Newport and Colwyn Bay.
They could be generating power for up to a 120 years through the regularity of the tides.
Another pressing issue is that a quarter of Britain's power plants could be decommissioned in the next 10 years, and the fear is there won't be enough replacement power in the national electricity grid. That could lead to sporadic blackouts.

From Saturday, Central Line trains will not stop at Tottenham Court Road.
Transport for London (TfL) has advised people to change at Oxford Circus or Holborn for alternative routes.
The work is intended to improve access to Central Line platforms, with new entrances and lift access from the ticket hall and to the Northern line.
Northern Line trains will continue to stop at Tottenham Court Road.
By 2016, TfL said the station will be fully accessible and the ticket hall will be five times larger than its current size.
Currently around 150,000 people use Tottenham Court Road daily but TfL expects this to rise to more than 200,000 when Crossrail serves the station in 2018.
The station will have eight escalators, five lifts, new Art on the Underground installations, improved CCTV cameras and better lighting.
The refurbishment of Tottenham Court Road Tube station is part of London Underground's (LU) £10bn programme of modernisation.
Central Line services are expected to return to Tottenham Court Road next December.
The fourth World Happiness Report also found that countries where there was less inequality were happier overall.
Switzerland, Iceland, Norway and Finland, which like Denmark have strong social security systems, made up the rest of the top five.
The US was the world's 13th happiest country, the UK was 23rd, China was 83rd and India was 118th.
Why are the Danes so happy?
Hygge: The Danish concept for happy homes
At the bottom of the 156 countries on the list was Burundi, which is experiencing severe political unrest and the threat of violence. It scored worse than Syria, where a civil war has killed more than 250,000 people over the past five years.
The survey found Syrians had a better healthy-life expectancy and were also seen as being more generous than Burundians and people in the three other nations - Togo, Afghanistan and Benin - making up the five least happy countries.
Northern America, Latin America and the Caribbean and Europe were the happiest regions overall.
South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa were the only regions where the average rating for wellbeing was less than five out of 10.
The report - compiled by the UN's Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) - is an analysis of Gallup World Poll data generated from surveys of 1,000 people in each country every year for three years. They were asked to evaluate their lives on a ladder scale of zero to 10.
The researchers defined six key categories: gross domestic product (a nation's output of goods and services) per capita, social support, healthy-life expectancy, personal freedom, charitable giving and perceived corruption.
The report found that people are happier living in societies where there is less inequality of happiness. Likewise it found that the bigger the gap - or inequality - in a country's happiness, the more widespread unhappiness is as a whole.
It also looked at social support - defined as being able to count on someone in difficult times - and the presence or otherwise of corruption.
"Human wellbeing should be nurtured through a holistic approach that combines economic, social and environmental objectives," Columbia University Earth Institute Director Jeffrey Sachs said in a SDSN press release.
"Rather than taking a narrow approach focused solely on economic growth, we should promote societies that are prosperous, just, and environmentally sustainable."
The 24-year-old would provide cover for Grant Elliott when the New Zealander is representing his country.

"Of course I can [win it]," Hendry, 43, told BBC Sport. "But there are a few other players who will have something to say about that.
"I'm hitting the ball as well as I have for a long time and there's no place where I feel more comfortable than the Crucible."
Hendry, who plays Stephen Maguire in the quarter-finals, added that he was "shocked" at how poorly Higgins had played.
"If someone said beforehand I would beat John 13-4 I would have said they were nuts. The first session [after which Hendry led 5-3] was quite a high standard but Friday night was one of the strangest sessions of snooker I've played.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"I'm fortunate that John's probably never played as badly as that in his life at the Crucible. You feel lucky when you get one or two chances against John in a frame, but at times I was getting five and six chances.
"At times I was coming to the table in shock and not knowing what to do, it was weird. I fully expected him to come out all guns blazing; when his back's against the wall, that's when he normally plays his best snooker."
Four-time champion Higgins, who had not been beaten by Hendry in a ranking event since 2003, said he was at a loss to explain what went wrong in their first ever meeting at the Crucible.
"Stephen hit the ball tremendously well, in and about the balls he looked back to his best, he really did," said Higgins, 36.
"After the first session it looked a good match. I went 2-0 up and then Stephen didn't really miss a ball to make it 5-3.
"I lost the first frame Friday night and could have maybe nicked it and after that I just brought Stephen down. I can't put my finger on why, but it was really bad.
"This place can do that to you - it can give you your best moments but it can also give you your worst nightmares, and that was a nightmare, it really was."
Higgins, who started the season at number two in the rankings but has fallen to six, put his bad season down to poor preparation and a failure to adapt to the rigours of the sport's revamped, far-flung tour.
"I've not done the right things on or off the table and you only get out what you put in in life," he admitted.
"This year I don't think there's been any tournament I came into thinking I had a genuine chance of winning.
"Other players might prefer tournaments running onto each other but I've always felt as if I need to put a bit of work into my game. But over my career I've been a bit of a winner, and things like this spark you to come back, because you don't like going through what I've just gone through.
"You either just lie down and let it happen to you or you get up and try to win more tournaments and that's what I'll try to do."
A 24-year-old man suffered serious facial injuries in the attack near Glasgow Central station.
He was taken by ambulance to Glasgow Royal Infirmary where he underwent surgery.
Officers also appealed for information from any witnesses to the incident, which happened in Union Street at about 15:00 on Saturday 13 May.
The man they want to trace is bald, white, and of medium build. He is about 30 years old and 5ft 9in tall.
He was wearing a grey top with a white trim, a blue and red Help for Heroes t-shirt with dark-coloured trousers and trainers.
The crash happened at 06:45 local time in Clonkillymore, Termon. The driver of the car, who was in his 20s, was pronounced dead at the scene.
A passenger in the car, another man in his 20s, was taken to hospital. His injuries are not thought to be life threatening.
The road has been closed as forensic officers examine the scene.
The Labour leader appeared on stage at last month's event to speak about employment rights among other issues.
Most of the workers hired, from around Europe, to clean up after the festival were reportedly laid off early.
But organisers said the litter pickers had "temporary" agreements which guaranteed at least eight hours work.
In a statement, Glastonbury festival said the "unusually dry" weather was partly responsible for reducing the amount of work after this year's festival.
According to the Independent, about 700 workers had travelled to Somerset from the Czech Republic, Spain, Poland and Latvia to help with the post-festival clean-up operation, on zero-hours contracts.
They were reportedly promised two weeks' paid work but were laid-off after two days because there was less litter than expected, leaving them stranded and out of pocket.
In a video filmed by the Independent, a supervisor is heard telling sacked workers obstructing vehicles in protest that they should be grateful for two days' work.
Mr Corbyn used his appearance on the festival's Pyramid stage to say young people should not have to "accept low wages and insecurity as just part of life".
Asked whether he would boycott Glastonbury in future, Mr Corbyn's spokesman said: "Jeremy and the Labour Party have taken a very strong stand against the use of zero-hours contracts and the exploitation of migrant and other workers, and we would take that view wherever it happened.
"How Glastonbury runs its event and runs its finances is entirely a matter for them.
"But these contracts should not be in place and shouldn't be used.
"We oppose them, and next time we are in government we will ban them."
Asked whether Mr Corbyn would raise the issue with organisers next time he visits the festival, the spokesman said: "He is happy to raise it right now.
"This kind of contract and these kinds of employment conditions are unacceptable."
In a statement, Glastonbury festival denied they had used zero-hours contracts, saying: "We would like to state that Glastonbury festival's post-event litter picking team are all given temporary worker agreements for the duration of the clean-up.
"The length of the clean-up varies considerably from year to year, based largely upon the weather conditions before, during and after the festival.
"This is something the litter pickers - many of whom return year after year - are made aware of in their worker agreements (which assure them of a minimum of eight hours' work).
"This year was an unusually dry one for Glastonbury. That, coupled with a fantastic effort from festival goers in taking their belongings home, meant that the bulk of the litter picking work was completed after 2.5 days (in 2016, a very wet year, the equivalent period was around 10 days)."
Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Harvard, and Carnegie-Mellon universities studied 110 apps available on Google Play and the Apple App Store.
They found 73% of the Android apps shared users' email addresses, and 47% of the iOS apps shared location data.
Privacy International said it was more evidence of how devices "betray us".
The study, Who Know What About Me? A Survey of Behind the Scenes Personal Data Sharing to Third Parties by Mobile Apps, tested 55 of the most popular Android apps and the same number of iOS apps.
The researchers recorded the HTTP and HTTPS traffic that occurred while using the different apps and looked for transmissions that included personally identifiable information, behavioural data such as search terms and location data.
They found the Android apps sent sensitive data to 3.1 third-party domains, on average, while the iOS apps connected to 2.6.
The Android apps were more likely to share personal information such as name (49% of the apps) and address (25%) than the iOS apps, where 18% shared names and 16% shared email addresses.
Three out of the 30 medical, health and fitness apps the researchers studied shared search terms and user inputs with third parties.
Android health app Drugs.com shared medical information - including words such as "herpes" - with five third-party domains, including doubleclick.net and googlesyndication.com.
The Android apps were most likely to leak data to Google and Facebook, with the most leaky being Text Free, which offers free calls and text over wi-fi and sent data to 11 third-party domains.
The most leaky iOS app was Localscope, a location browser, which sent data to 17 third-party domains.
The research also found that 93% of the Android apps tested connected to the domain safemovedm.com.
"The purpose of this domain connection is unclear at this time; however, its ubiquity is curious," wrote the researchers.
"When we used the phone without running any app, connections to this domain continued."
It said the connection was "likely due to a background process of the Android phone".
Google was asked by the BBC to explain more about safemovedm.com but did not provide information by the time of publication.
Privacy International said that the report "highlights the many ways that the devices we use can betray us".
"The analysis in the paper suggests that a large proportion of apps tested share sensitive information like location, names and email addresses with third parties with minimal consent," said Christopher Weatherhead, a technologist at PI.
It was concerned about how such information would sit with new UK draft legislation for data retention.
"With the recently announced draft Investigatory Powers Bill, many of these connections to third-party websites would be retained as internet connection records," Mr Weatherhead said.
"So, even if you have never visited these websites, they would be indistinguishable from your actual web-browsing activity.
"This would allow the security services to make assumptions about browsing habits which are not correct."
Consumers are becoming increasingly concerned about the amount of data shared by apps.
A survey of 2,000 Americans by the Pew Research Centre suggested 54% of users had decided not to install an app after learning how much personal information they would need to share to use it.
Some 30% said they had uninstalled an app after learning it had collected information they did not want to share, while 30% of smartphone owners turned off the location tracking feature of their phone.
The latest research follows a study last month by Timothy Libert, a researcher at the University of Pennsylvania, who said almost nine in 10 websites leaked user information to third parties that users were "usually unaware of".
The US, Canada and European Union nations were among 30 states that agreed to halve forest loss by 2020 and work towards a 2030 goal.
But Brazil, which owns the largest continuous rainforest on the planet, refused to sign because it could contravene national law.
UN officials said they hoped the pact would be adopted in 2015.
The Brazilian environment minister, Isabella Teixeira told Associated Press, "unfortunately, we were not consulted. "
"But I think that it's impossible to think that you can have a global forest initiative without Brazil on board. It doesn't make sense."
The minister said her government was concerned the new resolution could clash with Brazil's national laws, which allow for managed felling.
She said Brazil had set its own goal of slowing the pace of deforestation to 3,900 sq km (1,500 square miles) annually by 2020.
That would be down from about 5,843 sq km (2,256 square miles) in the period August 2012-July 2013, when Brazil made its last satellite survey.
Ms Teixeira made it clear that Brazil was committed to protecting the Amazon rainforest - considered a key natural defence against climate change because of its capacity of absorbing huge amounts of carbon dioxide.
The signatories also promised to restore more than 1 million sq miles (2.6 million sq km) of forest worldwide.
Norway vowed to spend $350m (£215m) to protect forests in Peru, with another $100m in Liberia.
The teenager, who cannot be named for legal reasons, attacked Vincent Uzomah, 50 at Dixons Kings Academy on 11 June.
Mr Uzomah, who was stabbed in the stomach with a knife, is stable in hospital.
The boy denied attempted murder but admitted causing grievous bodily harm with intent when he appeared at Bradford Crown Court.
His plea was accepted by the Crown Prosecution Service and Judge Jonathan Durham Hall QC said the boy would be sentenced at a later date.
The teenager attacked Mr Uzomah in front of a number of other students at the start of a science class.
It is understood it happened following a disagreement over a mobile phone.
Mr Uzomah was stabbed with a kitchen knife the boy had brought from home.
After the attack the teenager ran off and was arrested by police in Bradford city centre following a six-hour search.
Judge Durham Hall said: "This is a very troubling case."
He said the boy was "undoubtedly a very troubled young man" and said Mr Uzomah was "a very brave and compassionate victim".
The teenager was remanded in custody and will be sentenced later this year.
The school, formerly called the King's Science Academy, opened in 2011 and was one of the first free schools to open.
It has about 700 pupils and has since become part of the Dixons academy group.
After each rapid eye movement (REM) they recorded bursts of activity that match what happens when we are awake and we see - or imagine - a new image.
They suggest that these well-known flickering movements accompany a "change of scene" in our dreams.
The recordings were made from patients with electrodes implanted in their brains to monitor seizures.
"It's a unique opportunity to look at what's happening inside the human brain," Dr Yuval Nir, from Tel Aviv University in Israel, told the BBC. "We're very thankful to the epilepsy patients who volunteered to take part."
Dr Nir worked with colleagues from France and the US on the study, which is published in the journal Nature Communications.
Over the course of four years they worked with 19 different patients, recording from electrodes in several different brain areas but largely within the medial temporal lobe.
This is not a part of the brain directly involved in vision, Dr Nir said.
"The activity of these neurons doesn't reflect image processing. It's more about signalling to the brain about a certain concept.
"You can close your eyes and imagine Queen Elizabeth, and these neurons will fire. This activity implies a refresh of the mental imagery and the associations."
When the patients were awake and shown a picture, especially one associated with a memory, the researchers saw a particular pattern of activity.
"About a 0.3 seconds after the picture appears, these neurons burst - they become vigorously active," Dr Nir explained. "This also happens when people just close their eyes and imagine these pictures, or these concepts."
Intriguingly, he and his colleagues spotted a "very, very similar pattern" during sleep. In particular, these bursts arrived just after eye movements during REM sleep.
This is the phase of sleep in which we dream, and it is characterised by these occasional, very quick eye movements.
It has long been thought that these movements might reflect the visual component of dreams, but there has been no clear evidence for this - until now, Dr Nir said.
"We are intimately familiar with the activity of these neurons. We know they are active every time you look at an image, or when you imagine that image. And now we see them active in a similar way when you move your eyes in REM sleep, so it becomes very probable that the eye movements represent some type of reset, or 'moving onto the next dream frame'.
"It's almost like when I was growing up and we had slide projectors. You move to the next dream slide, if you like."
This could help to explain why unborn babies and blind people also move their eyes during REM sleep, he added.
"Even people who are congenitally blind... can still dream about their aunt coming to visit from Florida: her voice, the emotions and all the associations that go with that.
"And when the dream changes from meeting this aunt to, say, taking your dog for a stroll in the park, then the brain activity changes and this happens in sync with eye movements."
Other sleep researchers welcomed the findings. Prof Jim Horne, who established the Sleep Research Centre at Loughborough University, said the study fits with our improving understanding of REM sleep.
He also emphasised that flickering of a dreamer's eyes, which only happens in brief spurts, does not mean they are surveying a scene.
"The eye movements are not actually scanning your dream - they're reorienting your visual thoughts," Prof Horne told BBC News.
"This study endorses other findings that REM sleep has many similarities to wakefulness.
"I see REM sleep as rather like the screensaver on your computer; all you need is the touch of a button and your computer leaps to life. It's very close to wakefulness. Non-REM sleep is more like when you switch your computer off, and waking up requires a process of rebooting."
Prof William Wisden, a neuroscientist at Imperial College London, was also convinced by the similarity of brain activity between awake and REM states - but he said there are bigger questions still to answer.
"The most fascinating question of all is why do we have to have REM sleep? Why does our brain have all this circuitry to do that?
"This paper doesn't answer that, but it does emphasise how similar being awake and in REM sleep are, for particular circuits in the brain."

Speaking after performing at the Paralympic torch celebration in Cardiff Bay on Monday, she added: "It was in a private hotel room. I think it was an invasion of his privacy.
"I'm not a royalist, I don't sit on either side of the fence."
The Sun has said the images were widely available around the world, its readers had a right to see them and freedom of the press was being tested.
The pictures emerged from a private weekend the prince spent with friends in Las Vegas.
The two photos of the prince and a naked woman in a hotel room are believed to have been taken on a camera phone last Friday.
In an editorial, the newspaper said the pictures represented a crucial test of Britain's free press.
Earlier this year, Charlotte Church and her parents agreed damages and costs of £600,000 with News Group Newspapers, which published the now defunct News of the World.
The High Court had heard the singer's phone was hacked when she was 16 years old.
Now aged 26, she has also given evidence to the Leveson inquiry into media ethics.
The prime minister said it was "absolutely vital" police could access communications data via social media.
"We need to know who called whom and when," he told ITV's This Morning.
Wednesday's Investigatory Powers Bill would let police see websites people have visited but not the specific pages they have viewed without a warrant.
The BBC's security correspondent Gordon Corera said the plan may be resisted in the House of Lords amid concerns about the degree of intrusion into people's browsing histories and who would authorise police warrants.
The new security bill is the latest in a series of attempts to update the law to allow police and security services to access communications data, as more and more takes place online rather than on phones.
Police sources have told the BBC they expect the new bill to require communication firms to retain data on website addresses for a year. This will mean existing powers allowing authorities to see which websites people have visited become practical to implement for the first time.
Such data would consist of a basic domain address, and not a full browsing history of pages within that site or search terms entered. For example, police could see that someone visited www.bbc.co.uk - but not the individual pages they viewed.
Explaining the thinking behind the plans, Mr Cameron said the police needed to be able to track suspect behaviour online in the same way as they already did elsewhere.
"As prime minister, I would say to people, 'Please let's not have a situation where we give terrorists, criminals, child abductors, safe spaces to communicate.'
"It is not a safe space for them to communicate on a fixed line phone or a mobile phone.
"We should not allow the internet to be a safe space for them to communicate and do bad things."
Speaking on Sunday, Home Secretary Theresa May told the BBC there would be "world-leading" oversight of warrants to access digital records, details of which would be announced on Wednesday.
Labour has insisted that warrants should have to be approved by a judge, not politicians, while the Lib Dems and some Conservatives have said they will seek to amend the legislation in the House of Lords to that effect.
Lord Carlile, a former reviewer of terrorist legislation, said it was "rather glib" to presume judges could "authenticate everything".
Analysis by the BBC's security correspondent Gordon Corera
There is a lot at stake in this new bill. This is the first time in 15 years that this law setting the parameters of what the state can do with our data is being rewritten and the first time in the digital age.
Different agendas are at play here. So, for instance, the spies do not so much want new powers. They want consent for the powers that they have already got and which previously they used very secretly but have been exposed by Edward Snowden and others.
They have talked about, if you like, the licence to operate. They want the public to buy into the use of these powers.
But the police do seem to want more powers. And that is where you get to the more contentious territory. They do argue they need the ability to get into the web browsing history of people they are investigating. Not necessarily all the detail of the sites they visited but some of it. They say that's vital to investigate crime in a digital age.
Privacy advocates may feel that goes too far into the private space in terms of what web browsing might tell you about yourself. Then you have the issue of control and authorisations. The privacy advocates are keen on new legislation if it provides a greater sense of control and authorisation.
"If judges are going to authenticate these issues, they have to learn about national security," he told Radio 4's Today programme.
"At the moment there's a handful of judges who have real understanding of national security. I mean just a handful. They need to be willing to be trained...because to understand the way in which national security work is done, people do have to understand the secret world to an extent."
Lord Carlile, a leading QC, said there was a strong case for giving the law enforcement authorities greater powers to ensure we "remain a relatively safe country in an unsafe and perilous world".
"I don't think any intelligent person is saying that the police should not be able to look at that data in a proper way... to see if they can catch the murderer, the terrorist, the paedophile, the money launderer."
And he added: "I think it is absurd to suggest the police and the security services have a kind of casual desire to intrude on the privacy of the innocent. They have enough difficulty finding the guilty. No-one has produced any evidence of casual curiosity on part of the security services."
Mrs May has said more than 1,400 warrants authorising more intrusive measures cross her desk a year, and she sets aside several hours a day to consider them. She said she had looked at all the arguments about handing over this responsibility to independent judges.
Some of the more contentious powers proposed in the coalition government's 2012 version of this bill have been removed after listening to industry figures and civil liberties' groups, Mrs May has said, insisting it will not allow the police to "go through people's browsing history".
The emergence of encryption has been identified as a major headache for law enforcement bodies, with suggestions that it risks leaving them locked out of some areas of cyberspace.
When Maria Grette first discovered that the 58-year-old Danish man with whom she had fallen in love was actually a 24-year-old Nigerian "419" internet scammer, the 62-year-old Swede was distraught. But, soon, her feelings changed.
"The most terrible thing was not that he had cheated me, but that he had lost his innocence," she said.
She became consumed with what she describes as "a profound need to make a difference to the people of Nigeria".
Ms Grette's relationship with Johnny (not his real name) began after an evening of fun and games with her girlfriends, during which they playfully created a profile for her on an online dating website. A few years before, she had gone through a traumatic divorce, and her friends teased her about finally starting a new relationship.

But when the fun of creating her profile was over, Ms Grette, who works as an arts teacher, painter and arts therapist, didn't give much further thought to the website.
"I received messages telling me that people had contacted me, but I never looked at them," she said.
Then, one day, she did.
"I still don't know why," she said. "It was like a sudden impulse happening before I could stop it."
That particular message was from a man who described himself as a Dane raised in South Carolina, USA; a civil engineer working on a contract in England; a widower with a son in a Manchester university.
"I was caught up by the atmosphere and by something in his words," she said.
Johnny: "I wish I could see through your eyes and see what you like to see"
Maria: "I like to see the truth, and often the truth is more beautiful and greater than people dare to realize"
Johnny: "You talk in parable´s. I can´t wait to see you"
Maria: "I cant understand how you can think so dedicated of me, when you have never met me. That scares me."
"We spent some time writing, then he called from a UK number."
Ms Grette, who had lived in different countries across Europe, was surprised that she could not place the man's accent. She mentioned this to him but didn't give it too much thought.
He told her that he was planning for his retirement; had Sweden in mind for a place to settle; owned a house in Denmark inherited from his parents; wanted to leave that to his son, Nick, who was very attached to it, while he looked for a new home for himself in Sweden.
"I wanted to meet him because I liked him," she said. "He had a way and a sweetness I had never known in a man before. And he was innocent in a way that puzzled me."
Ms Grette put all these qualities down to "an old fashioned upbringing and an isolated life - living in hotels and spending his free time on golf courses owing to much travelling".
After three months of communicating, the man agreed to come over and visit her in Sweden. But before that, he and his son needed to make a quick trip to Nigeria for a job interview, he said.
Johnny called to let her know that he was at Heathrow Airport. And to say that he had landed in Nigeria. He also got her to speak with Nick. The next phone call was to tell her that he was in a Lagos hospital.
They had been mugged, his son shot in the head, and they were without money and papers.
Unfortunately, his bank did not have a branch in Africa, he added, so it would take time to transfer money from his UK account. Meanwhile, the hospital management was requesting €1000 to proceed with treatment.
"Honey, I am in the hospital right now using the doctor´s laptop to send you this message so you can know my situation. Honey, if Nick dies I will also die with him, I have been crying, I wish I could call you, I wish I never came here, I will never forgive myself for bringing Nick along with me. I will call you with the doctor´s phone and send you an email later if I have the chanse.
"Honey, I am happy to hear from you and I am still at the hospital. The doctor said we where lucky we where not kidnapped. The bank does not have a location in Africa, so it will take time to get money and the management are requesting 1000 euros to proceed with treatment. Nick is all I have got and I will not forgive myself if anything happens to him. I am confused, and I do not know where to turn at the moment......"
"I will never forget how I rushed to the Western Union office, trembling while I did the transfer," Ms Grette said.
"All I could think of was to get the two persons in Nigeria out of danger."
The plot developed after that initial transfer. Medical complications called for more money. The doctors demanded more advance fees.
Several thousands of euro later, in what she describes as "coming to her senses", Maria realised that something was amiss.
She stopped responding to his messages.
Three weeks after her silence, he called her and confessed. He told her that he was not who she thought he was.
"I said I already knew that. I asked him to tell me his true identity and he did."
He was a 24-year-old Nigerian "419" scammer. He had finished university two years earlier but had no job.
These kind of advance fee frauds are known as 419 scams in Nigeria after the section of the Criminal Code which covers fraud.
He further described himself as a "devil" who had wronged "a lovely woman".
"He said he had never met anyone like me before, that he had been fighting his feelings for me for a long time. He said his scamming mates had warned him about falling in love with a 'client', that he had ignored them because he trusted me and did not want to lose contact with me."
From this point on, their communication took a new turn. There were no further requests for cash.
"The attraction I started feeling was to the person who was revealing himself to me... It was still him, but with a new name and different age and circumstances," she said.
Johnny sent her a photograph of himself, but Maria was not satisfied with that.
"I wanted to meet him," she said. "I could not live with this relationship unless it was adjusted to reality in all senses."
Unable to get him a visa to travel to Sweden, she made up her mind to go to Nigeria.
In October 2009, Ms Grette travelled to Africa for the first time in her life.
"When I saw him at the airport in Abuja, tears fell over his face, and I knew I had known him all my life."
Ms Grette described her two weeks in Nigeria as blissful, a period during which she and Johnny succeeded in transforming their romantic feelings for each other into a good friendship.
She met his friends, many of whom were also scammers. It was while enjoying their company one night in a local bar that she began to wonder how she could make a difference.
"I asked myself what I could do to prevent a situation where healthy, good young men fall into this trap," she said.
An idea came to her two years later, in 2011, after she saw an article on a Nigerian news website about an arts exhibition.
Over the past six years, Ms Grette has arranged for a number of African artists to visit Europe for arts exhibitions, workshops, conferences and competitions.
She has assisted them to source international grants and other funding to advance their work.
She has also visited Uganda to give talks on art, and is looking forward to another visit to Nigeria scheduled for later this year.
Ms Grette, now 69 and living in Norway, is elated at the opportunity to improve the lives of these young artists.
"Johnny has given me more than he took," she said, "Without him, I would not have met Africa."
When she'd visited him in Abuja, Johnny promised Ms Grette that he would give up scamming.
With her assistance, he left Nigeria shortly afterwards, to study in America.
Although they have not met each other again since, she continued to provide him with financial assistance until he completed his degree a few years ago and got a job in the American oil sector.
They still communicate frequently, updating themselves on each other's lives; and last year, he bought one of her paintings which she shipped over to him in America.
"He is very dear to me," she said.
"He has asked me so many times to forgive him and I told him that the most important thing is to forgive himself."
The National Emergency Management Agency (Nema) says the heavy rains killed 363 people since July.
The worst floods in five decades have affected many areas of the country - especially near the River Niger.
The BBC's Will Ross in Lagos says waters are now receding but there are fears over food supplies as some farmers saw all their crops destroyed.
President Goodluck Jonathan last month called the floods a "national disaster" but said it would not cause a food crisis, reports the Reuters news agency.
Our correspondent says that poor drainage in Nigeria's cities makes flooding likely after heavy rainfall.
In some rural areas people said they were frightened after seeing crocodiles, snakes and even hippopotami inside flooded homes.
A motion by its joint foreign affairs committee has been redrafted to say Dublin will seek reassurances from Moscow on its respect for human rights.
Members had advocated blacklisting Russian officials linked to the death of whistle-blower Sergei Magnitsky.
Moscow then linked any Irish sanctions to adoptions of Russian children.
Its ambassador to Dublin, Maxim Peshkov, wrote a letter to the foreign affairs committee of the Oireachtas (the Irish houses of parliament) on 11 March saying Russia might stop adoptions by Irish parents if parliament endorsed the Magnitsky Act.
Russia banned Americans from adopting Russian children soon after the US Congress passed the legislation in December.
MPs in several EU countries are considering following the American example.
Pat Breen, chairman of the cross-party foreign affairs committee, said after the motion was revised he "wouldn't regard as blackmail" the failure by the committee to support sanctions.
"We have reached a motion that fulfils our obligations on human rights," he was quoted as saying by the Irish Times.
Senator Jim Walsh, who proposed the original motion, said he was "disappointed we didn't have some sanctions" before adding: "But politics is about achieving compromise."
Guy Verhofstadt, leader of the liberal group (ALDE) in the European Parliament, condemned the Russian letter earlier.
"Russian foreign policy once again is showing its ugly face," he said in a press release.
Sergei Magnitsky was working as an auditor at a Moscow law firm when he discovered what he said was a massive fraud by tax officials and police officers.
He is said to have uncovered the alleged theft of $230m (£150m). After reporting it to the authorities, he was himself detained in 2008 on suspicion of aiding tax evasion, and died in custody on 16 November 2009 at the age of 37.
His colleagues at the firm, London-based Hermitage Capital Management, say the case against him was fabricated to make him halt his investigations.
Magnitsky reportedly became the first person to be tried posthumously in Russia when proceedings for tax evasion opened last month.
Members of the Palestinian group found the soldiers online, then tried to strike up a friendship using the fake identities, an officer told reporters.
Dozens of soldiers were persuaded to install an application that controlled their phone cameras and microphones.
However, the officer said Hamas was not able to uncover any major secrets.
Most of the soldiers were low-ranking, he added, and the scammers were interested in information about Israeli army manoeuvres, forces and weaponry around the Hamas-dominated Gaza Strip.
The officer, whose name was not given, said the photos used in the scheme belonged to real women, whose pictures and personal details were stolen from their social media profiles.
Hamas 'seizes Israeli spy dolphin'
Hamas says Israel killed drone expert
A presentation he gave to reporters on Wednesday included some of the photos and flirtatious messages sent to the soldiers.
"Just a second, I'll send you a photo, my dear," wrote a scammer in one exchange.
"OK. Ha-ha," the soldier replied, before a photo of a blonde woman appeared.
The scammer then suggested they both download "a simple app that lets us have a video chat". In reality, it gave the scammer control of the soldier's smartphone.
The Israeli military's information security unit uncovered the scam after getting complaints from soldiers that suspicious women were getting them to download applications and then going silent.
"It had potential for great damage," the officer was quoted by the Associated Press as saying. "Until now, the damage was minimal. But we wanted to prevent it from happening."
Hamas has so far not commented on the allegations.
But not this year. The coverage is pretty muted. Of course, the EU referendum has something to do with that.
However, there is also a sense that something else is at play. After months of deadlock in the junior doctor dispute and a constant barrage of negative headlines about missed targets, there seems to be a certain weariness that has crept in when it comes to the debate around the state of the health service.
It begs the question: has failure become the new norm? After all, week after week there seems to be fresh evidence of declining standards, but instead of provoking outrage there seems to be an acceptance that we should not expect as much as we used to.
The influential commentator Nigel Edwards, of the Nuffield Trust, highlighted this this recently, describing a "creeping sense of inevitability" that failure will happen.
January, February and March each saw A&E units in England record new worst-ever monthly waiting times since the four-hour target was introduced in 2004.
The target has been met just once in the past 18 months with bosses at NHS England left to resort to the rather defeatist defence that while it is getting worse, it's still better than many other countries.
Ambulances are struggling too, with a sharp deterioration in the number of life-threatening cases reached in the target time of eight minutes. Cancer targets and the 18-week goal for seeing patients needing routine operations have started to be missed too. Serious problems can be found in the health systems in Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland too.
It is why Royal College of Nursing general secretary Janet Davies has this week been describing the situation facing the NHS as an "endless winter" and these kind of pressures the new norm.
But it is not only the targets that show the extent of the problems - inspectors are also finding worrying examples.
The Queen Alexandra Hospital in Portsmouth was recently criticised for the chaos that had engulfed it. The situation got so bad, inspectors said, that a tent had to be erected at the site of a motorway crash because ambulances were stuck at the hospital unable to unload their patients as A&E staff were over-run.
These are shocking stories, that are becoming all too familiar. Overall, out of the 182 ratings given to hospital, community, mental health and ambulance services under the new inspection regime, 121 have been inadequate or require improvement.
Ministers defend themselves by saying the NHS is coping admirably with the extra demands being placed on it.
Compared to six years ago 6,400 more people a day are being seen at A&E, 26,000 more people are being seen as outpatients and 16,000 more diagnostic tests are being carried out. That's the workload of about a dozen new hospitals.
And they point out extra money is being invested. That is true. However, the fact remains the biggest chunk - £3.8bn - is being given this year, but two-thirds of that looks like it will have to go on paying off last year's deficits.
The result? A feeling of gloom among both those who work in the health service and those who are treated by it.
Polling of more than 1,200 adults by the BMA ahead of their conference this week found that eight in 10 of them were worried about the future of the NHS.
An NHS Confederation survey of managers found over nine in 10 were not confident they could meet the savings targets being asked of them and only one in 10 nurses asked by the Royal College of Nursing thought the NHS was able to cope with the demands being placed on it.
Such defeatism leads to an expectation that standards will decline further - and when that happens the news value of the event diminishes.

He scored one of the greatest goals in World Cup history in the 1970 final against Italy, rounding off a sublime team move with a powerful low finish.
Right-back Alberto was capped 53 times by Brazil and won domestic titles with Fluminense and Santos, for whom he made more than 400 appearances.
He died in Rio de Janeiro following a heart attack.
The 1970 Brazil side that won the World Cup, which also contained greats Pele, Jairzinho, Tostao and Rivelino, is regarded by many as the finest in history.
Alberto was named in the world team of the 20th Century in 1998 and the Fifa 100 for the greatest living players in 2004.
After finishing his playing career in North America with New York Cosmos, he managed 13 clubs and Oman and Azerbaijan.
He won the 1983 Brazilian Championship with Flamengo and finished his coaching career with Azerbaijan in 2005.
BBC Brasil's Fernando Duarte
Carlos Alberto had a huge influence in Brazilian football not only for being one of the best right-backs to ever don the Brazil shirt, but also for being one of the most uncompromising voices of the game in his native country.
As a leader, his qualities were unquestionable, wearing the captain's armband in the legendary Brazil squad that won the Jules Rimet trophy in Mexico 46 years ago, exerting command over the likes of strong-minded players such as Pele, Gerson and Rivelino.
Alberto was a product of Brazil's famous marauding full-back lineage, but the difference was that he united fitness with the art.
Brazilians learned the hard way in the 1966 World Cup that style was not enough when they were easily outmuscled by European opponents and went out at the group stage.
'The Captain', as he was nicknamed by Brazilians, did not have the same success as a manager, but fans of Flamengo, the most-supported team in the country, have fond memories of his role in winning the 1983 national title.
As a coach or TV pundit, Alberto held no prisoners thanks to a fiery temper and a sharp sense of humour. In his trademark raspy voice, he would lambast directors, players and express certain despair with what he considered a fall in standards in Brazilian football.
I met Alberto several times and never left without some tasty quotes. The last time I saw him was month ago in Rio, the day after a round of the South American World Cup qualifiers, in the green room of a Brazilian TV station.
The national team had won a crucial away game against Ecuador and a huge sense of relief was in the air after a stumbling start in the tournament. But 'The Captain' was having none of it.
"I remember when beating those guys was not a reason to celebrate but an obligation," he said, just before letting his thunderous laugh rip.
Conor Murray scored two of his three tries in the first half with Andrew Smith, CJ Stander and Paul O'Connell putting Munster 33-10 ahead the break.
Ashton Hewitt had Dragons only first-half try with Tyler Morgan, Rhys Buckley and Jack Dixon also crossing.
Keith Earls and Ronan O'Mahony added second-half tries as Munster secured a vital home semi-final at Thomond Park.
Munster started the final round of games in third place but secured a top-two position with a flurry of early tries.
They had the bonus point wrapped up after 23 minutes when Conor Murray scored from close-range for his second, and Munster's fourth, try.
Jason Tovey nailed a second-minute penalty for the visitors, and Munster responded immediately with Australian centre Andrew Smith running in untouched for the first of the game's 12 tries after three minutes.
The scores continued to flow with Ashton Hewitt putting the Dragons in front with a try after four minutes, which Tovey converted as the visitors led 10-7.
Munster back-rower CJ Stander scored the game's third try after just eight minutes and from that point, Munster took complete control.
Ireland scrum-half Conor Murray scored two tries in a seven-minute spell, his first coming after a pick and go from a Munster ruck close to the line.
Dragons' lost Hugh Gustafon to a sin-binning after 19 minutes and Munster capitalised with Murray crossing for the second time in the 23rd minute. Ian Keatley added the extras for his fourth conversion of the half.
Irish rugby legend received the biggest cheer of the day in Musgrave when he landed the province's fifth try in first-half stoppage time to lead Munster leading 33-10 at half time.
Ireland wing Keith Earls and Dargons' Tyler Morgan scored after the interval and despite losing Paddy Butler to the sin-bin, Munster scored again with Murray grabbing his hat-trick try after 64 minutes.
Rhys Buckley and Jack Dixon added late tries for the Dragons, who started and ended the day in ninth place.

The posters belonging to Sinn Féin's Brenda Chivers and Rory Donaghy have been placed on a bonfire in Anderson Park, near Edenmore Road.
A sign saying KAT, a derogatory threat against the Catholic community, has also been placed on top of the bonfire.
A complaint has been made to the police.
Limavady Borough Council have said they are aware of the issue.
Councillor Brenda Chivers said: "I was driving past and I couldn't believe what I saw.
"This has really upset me. It's unacceptable.
"This sends the wrong message to children in the area.
"If they are going to celebrate the Twelfth then they should do it nicely. This is just so disrespectful.
"If they don't come down then I would like to see council funding withdrawn for an upcoming fun day in the area.
"This is purely sectarian and inciting hatred. The Edenmore road is not a pleasant area for nationalists at the moment."
Councillor Rory Donaghy said he had also been in contact with the police about the situation.
"This so-called expression of culture amounts to nothing less than hatred and needs to be condemned," he said.
"We have seen a rise in tensions in the town recently with the flying of flags.

Here three academics - based in Berlin, Moscow and Paris respectively - give their views on the summit to the BBC's Russian Service.
"The meeting is a far cry from similar encounters some years ago, when [Jacques] Chirac, [Vladimir] Putin and [Gerhard] Schroeder fixed their coalition against the US military attack in Iraq.
"This does not mean that this meeting in France is meaningless. Topics include a new architecture of global financial flows, the security configuration in Europe from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and proliferation issues like that with Iran.
"There is one factor troubling all three leaders meeting in France: their domestic landscape. In Germany, Mrs Merkel faces deteriorating poll figures, a shaky coalition with liberal democrats and a surge of opposition forces in the polls.
"At the same time, there are issues that worry societies in all three countries. The major ones are [easing] visa regulations, the need to forge some sort of joint energy policy, dealing with the chaotic situation in Afghanistan, stabilising Pakistan, reaching agreement over European ballistic missile defence, and dealing with Iran's nuclear ambitions.
"Looking at the three-way from a German perspective, the German-Russian dimension is relatively free of clouds. Economic and social relations are prospering. German companies are eager to help with modernising Russia.
"More than six decades since the end of World War II, history does not play a decisive role anymore. In a way, it is ironic that the good German-Russian relations over the Putin-Schroeder years, much criticised then by Merkel, have been replaced by no less sound Merkel-Medvedev contacts."
"The big hopes of the past have faded: officials talk of a serious 'chill' and it remains quite unclear just how relations between Russia and the EU can be revitalised.
"This situation seems paradoxical. On the one hand, we need each other - we are geographically close, we have strong trading links, centred around Russia's export of energy to the EU. On the other hand, these firm economic ties have not matured into comparable political relations.
"The Russian authorities capitalise on this autonomous development of two spheres - trade/economic and political - to present the EU as an unobjective critic of Russian political realities. A further paradox is that Russia's relations with the main European leaders, Mr Sarkozy, Mrs Merkel etc, are developing much better than relations with the EU as a whole. What explains this lack of 'unison'?
"From the Russian perspective, the EU lacks a mechanism for developing a single, viable foreign policy. Since the national leaders in the EU have widely varying priorities, Russia does not foresee the prospect of a common EU foreign policy.
"Russia does not have great expectations that the Deauville summit will usher in a new era in Russo-EU relations. But does this mean that these relations are condemned to long-term stagnation? Well, there is one source of hope: Western assistance to Russia.
"This will be one of the major factors in whether Russia's national modernisation programme succeeds or not. The problem is, the EU wants that help to be linked to the development in Russia of stable and transparent institutions. If the two sides fail to reconcile these differing approaches, it is difficult to see how a breakthrough in relations could be achieved."
"The Deauville summit represents the resurgence of a recurrent trend in European relations. These meetings stoke fears in smaller European states of a concord of Great Powers, in which important regional decisions will be taken without them.
"While initially critical of Russia under Putin, Nicolas Sarkozy has spearheaded attempts to bring Russia closer to the West and has privileged bilateral relations with his Russian counterpart.
"As images of the Chechen war have faded from news coverage, it has become easier for foreign powers to overlook Russia's human rights record. These issues remain a concern for French public opinion, however.
"France is keen to engage Russia in discussions on trade and security. The French leadership is convinced of the potential of the Russian market and is eager to secure a prominent position for French companies in the realisation of this potential.
"The French leadership is equally convinced that Russia is vital to European security: any arrangement with which Russia is dissatisfied will not endure, as illustrated by the Russia-Georgian war in 2008. France is interested in addressing Russia's problems with the current security arrangements, but does not intend to see them dismantled.
"France's strategic aims are to secure contracts for French firms and garner influence within the existing balance of power. French officials present the summit as a step toward Russia's rapprochement with the West."

The chief executive also said there are some signs that premiums in the UK are no longer falling but he added "we have yet to see firm evidence of an inflection point and a return to premium growth".
He said Admiral's premium rates have been "pretty flat" over the first half of the year, although, as a result of the reductions in 2013, total premiums were down around 9% compared with the first half of 2013.
Admiral's other brands include Elephant, Diamond and Bell. It now insures more than 130,000 additional customers in the UK than it did this time last year.
Mr Engelhardt added: "Outside the UK, our international insurance operations continue to grow and make progress.
"Our European price comparison businesses had a profitable first half of the year and we're encouraged by the very early indicators from comparenow.com in the US."
It posted organic revenue growth of 7% for the three months to September, against forecasts of about 5.5%.
Organic revenue growth strips out the effects of currency movements.
A weaker euro as well as strong wine and spirits sales boosted third quarter revenue.
The firm noted overall growth in Europe and the US as well as an "acceleration" in Japan.
Overall revenue for the three months to September rose 16% to $9.76bn.
The French company is the world's biggest luxury group.
It sells the likes of Louis Vuitton handbags, several Champagne brands, Hennessy cognac and fashion labels Fendi and Marc Jacobs. It also sells perfumes, cosmetics, watches and jewellery.
Wine and spirit sales in China, which had been hurt by the country's anti-corruption drive, saw a "notable acceleration in the third quarter", the firm said.
"Hennessy cognac ...benefited in the third quarter from a strong rebound in shipments to China and continued excellent momentum in the United States," it stated.
Sales in the giant's fashion and leather business were slower than expected.

Police are questioning those on board, while a person suspected of starting the fire was detained by the crew.
RAF helicopters winched two passengers and four crew off the MS King Seaways, which was sailing to Amsterdam, when it was 30 miles off Flamborough Head.
The DFDS ferry, which had 946 passengers and 127 crew, returned to North Shields early on Sunday.
Insp Andrew Dixon of Humberside Police said the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) had called them at about 23:00 GMT and had said a passenger was "believed to have set fire to a cabin".
"As a result of this incident, the person suspected of causing the fire, or the person from the cabin where the fire occurred - be it deliberate or accidental - has been detained by ship staff," he added.
Some 15 passengers and eight staff were checked on the ferry by a doctor, DFDS added in a statement.
It said the fire had started at about 22:45 GMT on Saturday but had been extinguished within 15 minutes.
Serge Chamuleau and his family, from Arnhem in the Netherlands, were on board the ferry.
He told BBC News: "We first discovered about the fire when we heard a loud noise that kept going for 10 minutes or so.
"We got out of the cabin to check what was going on and we were told about the fire by another passenger. We got dressed and the alarm signal was given and we had to go outside.
"There was a lot of smoke - you could smell it."
Gert Jakobsen, DFDS vice president, said the ferry had been boarded by police and fire investigators, who were speaking to crew members and passengers.
"The ship has arrived back in Newcastle and police are now on board and in control of it," he said.
"They are investigating the cause of the fire and speaking with senior crew members as well as passengers who were close to the incident."
Passengers have begun to leave the ferry.
Earlier, Steven Basford, one of the passengers, said: "We've been told we can't get off until the police have finished their investigation. They're going door-to-door so we just have to wait."
The 28-year-old from Northumberland, who had been travelling to Amsterdam with his partner to celebrate the new year with friends, described his experience of the fire alarm.
"We were in our room at about 10.40pm last night when they raised the general fire or emergency alarm with seven high-pitched siren noises," he said.
"We were told to evacuate outside the ship and when we got outside they asked us to converge around the lifeboats.
"The fire was on our floor but on the other side of the ship. When we climbed up to the communal area we could see the smoke. It wasn't thick but it was definitely noticeable.
"People were generally pretty calm."
The MCA said it would survey the vessel for any lasting damage.
The MCA's Jo Rawlings told BBC News that conditions for the rescue had been "fairly calm".
Those winched off the ferry had been airlifted to Scarborough and no-one was seriously injured, she said.
Helicopters from RAF Leconfield and RAF Boulmer were sent to the scene.
Sqn Ldr Dave Webster said that when the RAF had been called for assistance, it was initially thought 23 people would need to be winched to safety but that figure was later downgraded.
The RAF crew had lifted those affected off the ferry within an hour.
Ferry operator DFDS Seaways runs a daily 17:00 GMT service from North Shields, arriving in Ijmuiden, the Netherlands, at 08:30 GMT (09:30 local time).
According to its website, the 26-year-old MS King Seaways has room for more than 1,500 passengers and 600 cars. It was renovated in 2006.
It offers entertainment including restaurants, bars, a nightclub and a casino.
Kenny Miller missed from three yards in a stodgy, goalless first half and the home side laboured after the break.
With four minutes remaining though Forrester curled a shot past Buddies goalkeeper Jamie Langfield.
With second-placed Hibernian losing at Dumbarton, Rangers are in a commanding position in the title race.
Miller, 36, back in the starting line-up along with midfielder Nicky Law, had Rangers' first real effort on goal in the ninth minute when he curled a shot from the edge of the box just past the post after good set-up play by Michael O'Halloran.
The Buddies' organisation and assuredness was providing a problem for the home side, but they should have taken the lead before the break after Miller blasted over from another penetrating run from O'Halloran.
The Ibrox side stepped up the pressure in the second half but faced a red-shirted wall of St Mirren defenders who dropped deeper while remaining organised and resolute.
In the 67th minute, after St Mirren midfielder Stevie Mallan had clattered Billy King 25 yards from goal, James Tavernier's free-kick was heading for the top corner before Langfield pushed it round the post for a corner, which was again defended.
Forrester replaced Holt three minutes later before Miller slashed a volley over the bar from 16 yards to more groans from the home support.
In the final, frantic stages, Langfield saved another free-kick from Tavernier which was sneaking in at the far post, but could do nothing to halt Forrester's strike from inside the box.

A car and a van were in collision on Burren Road, near Warrenpoint, at about 14:20 GMT on Friday.
Insp Stephen Graham said a passenger in the car "is reported to have been seen making off from the scene across nearby fields whilst the driver of the car remained trapped in the vehicle".
The police helicopter took the 18-year-old man to hospital in Belfast.
The driver of the van was treated in a local hospital for non-life threatening injuries.
A police patrol car came upon the scene of the collision, and the office of the Police Ombudsman has been informed about the incident.

He passed away peacefully at his seaside home in Santa Cruz, California, with his family by his side, O'Neill's friends told KSBW news.
He opened his first surf shop in San Francisco in 1952, and popularised the use of the neoprene wetsuit for coldwater surfing.
His firm grew to become one of the world's biggest surfwear brands. His son took over the business in 1985.
In an interview in 2011, Mr O'Neill said: "Surfing for me was a very important part of my life. I'd work downtown in San Francisco and I'd get all screwed up, and I'd go out and I'd jump in the ocean and everything would be all right again.
"All I wanted to do was surf, and when I opened that shop in my garage, I thought I would have a few guys there to sell suits and have guys to surf with.
"One of the guys up there told me: 'O'Neill, you are going to sell to the five guys on the beach and you are going to be out of business.'
"Nobody is more surprised than I am about how this business has grown," Mr O'Neill said.
How surfing became a global lifestyle industry
After working as a pilot in Naval Air Corps in the 1940s, he moved to San Francisco and joined a hardy group of coldwater surfers at Ocean Beach.
There he started experimenting with neoprene, a material already being used in the US Navy.
He went to surplus stores and started sewing pieces of material into vests, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. Later, this idea grew to become the full-body suit that made his name.
Although he is not credited as the wetsuit inventor, he was one of the pioneers of the neoprene version, which transformed the sport.
In the early 1970s, he lost the sight in his left eye while testing one of the first prototypes for a surfboard leash, and afterwards wore a characteristic eye patch.
The ocean-lover was known to be a private man and rarely spoke to the press.
"O'Neill was one of the least-known, and least-talked-about titans of the surf world," read his obituary in Surfer magazine.
He said his proudest achievement was the Sea Odyssey programme, which introduced schoolchildren to marine conservation.
The Home Office has been looking at a legal aid funding request for the families ahead of inquests into the 21 deaths and a decision is expected to be made this month.
But campaigners said without legal aid they would not have representation.
A pre-inquest review is due to be held next month.
The relatives want their lawyers, who have so far worked free of charge, to be paid out of public funds, in the same manner as police and other agencies who will be in involved in the inquests.
Q&A: Birmingham bombings inquests
Campaigner Julie Hambleton, from Justice 4 the 21, said: "All families involved in this horrendous atrocity should be able to effectively participate but without funding, without our legal team, we won't be able to do that so we may have to either just not attend or ask for an adjournment."
Twenty-one people died and 222 were injured when the bombs exploded at the Mulberry Bush and The Tavern in the Town in 1974.
Six men were convicted and then acquitted of the atrocity and no-one has since been convicted of involvement in the bombing, which is widely attributed to the Irish Republican Army (IRA).
In June, Birmingham's senior coroner ruled there was evidence that still needed to be heard and gave the go-ahead for fresh inquests.

European newspapers see an opportunity to move forward without the burden of appeasing a reluctant partner in Washington.
And in China, state-run media see their country ascending to a position of global leadership on the issue of climate change.
The announcement also triggered a global conversation on social media, with climate-related hashtags trending worldwide.
Newspapers on the continent generally expressed disappointment at the decision, but saw in it an opportunity for Europe to forge a new path.
French centre-left daily Le Monde said that the decision had "widened the gap of mistrust" and noted that Mr Trump's mantra of "America First" seems to be leading the country to ever greater isolation.
Similarly, the French financial newspaper Les Echos says America is now part of a "trio of marginalised" nations, along with Syria and Nicaragua, who are not part of the deal. It adds that the move has not "signed the death warrant" of the agreement.
France's left-wing Libération newspaper took a more personal view of the Mr Trump, saying: "Since his accession to the White House, the US president has believed he is on a reality show. Except for the fact that this is no longer a game, it is about the future of the planet."
Global dismay at US climate deal pullout
A commentary in Germany's centre-right Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung sees a certain "cold logic" in Mr Trump's move, in that he appears to prefer to deal with migration with "walls and weapons" rather than action to limit global warming.
"[The US] is reducing its financial contribution to global climate protection while boosting funding for the military and homeland security," writes its Washington correspondent, Winand von Petersdorff.
Germany's conservative Die Welt sees something positive in Trump's decision, saying it will actually be good for the Paris agreement to lose countries who do not believe in it.
"Those whose take part half-heartedly or even dishonestly are likely to undermine its agenda from the inside," says a commentary by the paper's science editor, Norbert Lossau.
A presenter on Russia's state-controlled Channel One TV said that Mr Trump has "shaken the global community once again".
And state-owned newspaper Rossiyskaya Gazeta was more sympathetic to Mr Trump than most, saying he had "stood up against Americans paying for the USA's 'climatic leadership', getting nothing in return, except for sweet-voiced chants of European politicians".
In the USA itself, the Washington Post said Mr Trump was not considering the bigger picture with regard to climate change.
"Trump only looked at one side of the scale - claiming the agreement left the United States at a competitive disadvantage, harming US industries. But he often ignored the benefits that could come from tackling climate change, including potential green jobs."
The right-wing Breitbart website, on the other hand, said: "Rather than get bogged down in the 'science' of climate change... he cut to the chase and talked about the important stuff that hardly ever gets mentioned by all the other politicians, for some reason: the fact that the climate change industry is killing jobs."
Colombia's El Tiempo newspaper warned that the decision could cost the USA "very dearly", while in Brazil, the Folha de Sao Paulo said it had allowed "Germany and China to find each other".
In China, commentators did not hide their disdain for the decision.
State-run Global Times called it "selfish and irresponsible" and "the biggest waste" of US diplomatic resources in recent years.
Meanwhile, a correspondent on Chinese state-owned CCTV said China would not alter its course, adding: "The whole world struggled to reach a collective agreement, there was a lot of hesitation and going around in circles... But China has been responding to climate change, it has been pursuing developments in green energy; it has all along been an active player."
Is Trump abandoning US global leadership?
Hong Kong's South China Morning Post said that Mr Trump was well on his way to being the worst American president ever.
"Trump is an angry man. He hates lots of things and lots of people. But there's nothing he seems to hate more than Barack Obama. Trump seems to have a rule of thumb: reverse every decision taken by Obama," it said.
In India, which Mr Trump mentioned as a beneficiary of the Paris Agreement, the story was covered prominently.
Leading daily The Times of India says on its website: "The shrill speech, replete with claims of American victimhood at the hands of the rest of the world, casts a chill on [Indian] Prime Minister Narendra Modi's expected visit to the White House later this month."
Another report in the paper says Mr Trump has "gone rogue". The Indian Express, another respected English-language newspaper, says the decision has "stunned the world".

By studying four generations of a family of sleepwalkers they traced the fault to a section of chromosome 20.
Carrying even one copy of the defective DNA is enough to cause sleepwalking, the experts told the journal Neurology.
They hope to target the genes involved and find new treatments for the condition that affects up to 10% of children and one in 50 adults.
Most often, sleepwalking is a fairly benign problem and something that will be outgrown.
Daughter's sleepwalking 'frightening'
Many children will have episodes where they will arise from their sleep in a trance-like state and wander.
But more extreme cases of sleepwalking can be deeply disruptive and downright dangerous, particularly when the condition persists into adulthood.
Sleepwalkers may perform complex feats such as locating the car keys, unlocking the doors and then driving.
There have even been high-profile cases where sleepwalkers have killed during an episode.
Despite this relatively little is known about the phenomenon, called somnambulism by medics.
Experts do know that sleepwalking tends to run in families and that some people are particularly susceptible to it.
And factors like being over-tired or stressed can be the trigger.
Typically, episodes happen early in the night, soon after the individual has fallen asleep and is in the deep, dreamless "slow wave" or non-rapid eye movement (NREM) stage of sleep.
By morning, the person will usually have no recollection of the episode.
For the latest study, Dr Christina Gurnett and colleagues at the Washington University School of Medicine sought the help of a large family of sleepwalkers.
The family had been referred to them because one of the youngest members, a 12-year-old girl called Hannah, had been experiencing particularly troublesome sleepwalking, which regularly caused her to leave the house and roam during the night.
Among the four generations of the family, spanning from the great-grandparents downwards, nine members out of the 22 were sleepwalkers.
One family member - an uncle of Hannah's - frequently wakes to find he has put on eight pairs of socks during the night. Some of her other sleepwalking relatives have suffered injuries such as broken toes during their nocturnal wanderings.
Using saliva samples the researchers analysed the family's DNA to unpick the genetics of the condition.
A genome-wide search revealed the problem stemmed from genetic code housed on chromosome 20, and that this code had been passed down from generation to generation. Someone with the gene has a 50% chance of passing it on to their children.
And any individual who inherited a copy of the faulty DNA would be a sleepwalker, they found.
Although they have yet to identify the precise gene or genes involved - there are a potential 28 - their hunch is that it will be the adenosine deaminase gene that is the culprit.
This gene, which sits in the minute segment of chromosome 20 that the researchers identified, is already known to be linked to the slow wave sleep that sleepwalking occurs within.
Dr Gurnett said: "It is likely that several genes will be involved. What we have found is the first genetic locus for sleepwalking.
"We do not know yet which of the genes in this linkage region of chromosome 20 will be responsible. Until we find the gene we won't know whether this accounts for several families or a large number of families who have sleepwalking.
"But discovering these genes could help with identifying and treating the condition."
Dr Malcolm von Schantz, a sleep expert at the University of Surrey, said: "This provides the proof of concept. We are beyond the needle in the haystack stage. It's now become feasible to find out which mutation in which gene is responsible."
Eileen Blane was thrown to the floor and punched in the attack at her home in Stretford, Greater Manchester, on Friday afternoon, police said.
While the attacker searched upstairs, Mrs Blane escaped and alerted her neighbours.
Granddaughter Amy Blane has shared pictures of her "brave Nana" on social media in a bid to find the attacker.
The post has been shared more than 12,000 times.
Ms Blane said the man forced his way through a side door at the house after her grandmother opened the door to him and demanded cash and jewellery.
She said: "After dragging her through the house, throwing her into the lounge and kicking her dog into the wall, he then threatened her life by saying 'you will not get out of this house alive'."
"Despite losing so much, my Nana is heart broken as her late husband died 13 years ago and her precious wedding ring was stolen."
Ms Blane said her grandmother has been left "very shaken" after her ordeal and is "especially upset about her wedding ring".
"Tell your Nanas to keep safe and check in on them as often as possible because, at times like this, you really do realise how important Nanas are."
A spokesman for Greater Manchester Police said Mrs Blane "suffered bruises over her face and head" in the assault and asked anyone with any information to contact them.
The 14-loop Smiler was shut for four days from 21 July after a piece fell off the track and 48 people had to be rescued.
The amusement park said the ride was closed again on Tuesday due to a "technical issue".
The ride, which opened in in May and includes a drop of 30m (98ft), reopened on Sunday morning.
The channel, called 4seven, will offer content from the previous seven days as an alternative to watching online.
The broadcaster said the channel - which will be available across all TV platforms - will be launched "later this year".
It is Channel 4's first new channel since it launched digital sister service More 4 in 2005.
"With so much choice out there, viewers are increasingly saying they sometimes just miss the best stuff, despite their PVR (personal video recorder) and VOD (video on demand)," David Abraham, Channel 4 chief executive, said.
"4seven will give viewers more chances to catch the most popular and talked about Channel 4 shows."
Mr Abraham added 4seven would schedule the main channel content that is "creating noise - amongst social media, bloggers and commentators".
However, it is understood Channel 4 is still in discussions with production companies to secure rights for shows to appear on the new channel.
Ithad been reportedVirgin Media were initially wary of a deal with the channel as it could provide direct competition to its own catch-up TV offering.
Although distribution deals have now been secured with the service provider along with Freeview and Sky, it is not yet known where 4seven will live on electronic programming guides.
However since getting their hands on the game, players have also had to spend many minutes waiting for online matches to be set up.
Lots of people are really frustrated about the delay.
Now the boss of the studio that made the game has said she's sorry.
"Please accept my heartfelt apologies for the delay and for the negative aspects of your experience to date," Bonnie Ross said in an online statement.
"We're doing everything in our power to resolve it as quickly as possible."
Halo games of the past have been famous for their online modes as well as the single-player campaigns.
And it's online issues that have caused most people to complain about the latest release.
Gamers aren't happy because of the time it's taking for matches to be set up with other online players - with some reporting up to 30 min delays.
A downloadable update was released last week to try and improve the situation, and fix some other issues as well, but it's still not clear if it's worked for everyone.
Bonnie Ross said: "We have encountered unexpected issues that were not apparent in our internal test environment and that have resulted in a frustrating experience, including long match-making times and low session success rates.
"Within 343 Industries and Xbox, I can assure you that resolving these issues is our number one priority."
Launched on 11 November this version is a remastering of the old Halo games with next-gen graphics, more online modes and extra content.
The franchise is very important to the console as Xbox marketing director in the UK Harvey Eagle told Newsbeat earlier this month: "It's a franchise that's worth more than $4bn dollars in revenue, that makes it one of the top grossing franchises not just in gaming but in entertainment.
"So that makes it incredibly important not just for Xbox, but for gaming in general as well."
That means that everyone involved with the game is taking these issues very seriously.
Bonnie Ross said: "While our team works on continual improvements and towards solutions, my commitment to you is that we will take care of all owners of Halo: The Master Chief Collection.
"Our primary and continued focus is first on fixing the issues at hand. Once we've done that, we will detail how we will make this right with our fans."

Kulwinder El-Assad, of Beaumont Close, Tipton, West Midlands, was convicted of smuggling at Leeds Crown Court.
Mohammed Khan, 61, of no fixed address and Arbab Akhtar, 29, of Romney Walk, Blackburn, both admitted smuggling.
El-Assad, 40, was jailed for 12 years, Akhtar was handed an eight-year sentence, with Khan jailed for six.
Border Force officers opened the package, sent from Islamabad in Pakistan.
Khan and El-Assad were arrested the following day at the airport when they arrived to pick up the parcel.
During police interviews Khan, who arrived on the same flight as the parcel, said he had travelled to Pakistan to visit a dying relative. Officers said his ticket had been paid for by Akhtar.
Using phone evidence, police found Akhtar had driven to Ashton-Under-Lyne to collect Khan, taken him to Blackburn to get his ticket and then dropped him off at the airport.
Mick Maloney, from the National Crime Agency, said: "All three played key roles.
"El-Assad was in touch with those they sourced the drugs from in Pakistan.
"Akhtar was the logistics man who made all the travel arrangements and was in regular contact with the others, while Khan was the courier."
The Dudley Business Loan Fund is aimed at businesses in the borough with fewer than 250 staff that have struggled to secure bank loans.
The scheme is a partnership between Dudley Council and the Black Country Reinvestment Society (BCRS).
Councillor Shaukat Ali said he believed it could play a "vital role" in stimulating the local economy.
He said there were some 9,000 businesses in the area that could be eligible.
The scheme, offering loans of £10,000 to £50,000, is open to small and medium-sized businesses with a turnover of less than £5m.
The scheme has been joint funded by the council and BCRS through a European grant.
Paul Kalinaucas, chief executive of the BCRS not-for-profit lender, said the fund would help Dudley "develop, grow and prosper".
Cradley Heath manufacturer Sealco benefited from a £50,000 BCRS loan in 2008 and said small sums could sometimes make a big difference.
Managing Director Rob Fowkes said: "In that year it helped us maintain staffing levels and got us through the very sticky parts that were 2008 and 2009."
Since 2009, the company has doubled its workforce and doubled its turnover to more than £2m.
Dudley Council said it expected the new loan scheme to create 30 jobs and secure 60 more.
This is more than ever before in figures going back 20 years - up from 43% in 1996-97 to the current 67%.
There are now four million children in poverty, the highest since the 2008 financial crash.
The Child Poverty Action Group said it showed families were "stuck on low pay while living costs rise".
The figures on low-income households show that in-work poverty has become the most common form of child poverty.
The Child Poverty Action Group, highlighting the prime minister's pledge to support "just about managing" families, said the government needed to act urgently to tackle the "burning injustice" of child poverty.
And the Children's Society described the figures as "truly shocking".
But the Department for Work and Pensions said that work still paid - and that children were five times more likely to be in a low income family if they lived in a workless household, rather than a "household where all adults work".
The figures from the ONS show that the biggest increases in earnings have been among the highest earners - and the lowest increases have been among low earners.
This has helped to push up the overall average household income to a record level of £481 per week.
But the study defines "relative low income" as earning less than 60% of the most typical median income, which for a combined household income stands at below £25,100 per year.
The profile of low income also shows how thresholds for poverty can change between different types of households.
To be in the bottom 10% in terms of living standards, a single person would have an income below £8,500, while for a couple with two young children the figure would be £17,800, says the ONS.
There are also big regional variations when housing costs are included.
London has the highest rate of child poverty when housing costs are added.
But if accommodation is excluded, the West Midlands and Northern Ireland have the highest proportion of child poverty.
The figures on child poverty and employment are significantly different for couples and lone parents - with much higher levels of work among couples.
Among couples with children in poverty, the proportion without one of these parents working is only 13%.
But for children in poverty living in a lone parent family, only 12% of parents are in either full-time or part-time work.
The figures also consider poverty in terms of "material deprivation" for children - measuring access to a list of goods and services - and this has remained broadly similar over the past five years.
"These figures are grim, but, according to independent experts at the Institute for Fiscal Studies, the outlook for the next few years is bleaker," said Alison Garnham, chief executive of the Child Poverty Action Group.
"Most worrying of all is that the government seems to be in a state of denial. Last week's Budget failed to mention poverty even once."
Anne Longfield, Children's Commissioner for England, said: "These very troubling figures show tackling child poverty is more important than ever.
"Behind every statistic is a child living a life in poverty, with all the negative consequences that can have for their health and their future life chances."
Justin Watson, head of Oxfam's UK Programme, said the figures on poverty were "deeply worrying".
"There are now more people in poverty in the UK than there have been for almost 20 years and a million more than at the beginning of the decade," he said.
But a Department for Work and Pensions spokeswoman said: "Average household incomes have risen to a record high and income inequality is lower than in 2009-10.
"Today's figures confirm that work is the best route out of poverty, so it represents significant progress that the number of children living in a workless household is down by 590,000 since 2010.
"We have introduced Universal Credit, the National Living Wage and increased the tax free Personal Allowance to make sure it always pays to be in work.
"But one child living in poverty is one too many and we remain committed to tackling the root causes of disadvantage."
On Tuesday, seven primary schools in Northern Ireland received the threats.
It follows similar hoaxes in England on Monday.
The Northern Ireland schools received calls between 09:00 and 10:00 BST, claiming explosives had been left at their premises.
A number of schools were evacuated and the PSNI said they were "investigating a series of malicious communications".
Ch Supt Garry Eaton said police responded immediately and worked with the schools "to establish what the circumstances of the calls were and to put appropriate procedures in place to ensure the safety of both pupils and staff".
"What I can say is that we believe all seven schools received hoax calls - we've checked all the schools and we don't believe there were any devices left at the schools," Ch Supt Eaton said.
"But nevertheless, it's a very serious and worrying situation."
He added: "Some of the schools took the decision to move pupils out, others didn't. Obviously that's a matter for the schools."
Ch Supt Eaton said the PSNI "will be working closely with our colleagues in GB to establish if there is a definite connection and how we take the investigation forward".
He said a link is "a strong line of enquiry", adding that it was "very coincidental that following those calls yesterday in GB, we receive similar calls today".
Earlier, police said there was nothing to indicate the calls were terrorist-related.
One of the schools threatened was Bloomfield Primary in Bangor, County Down.
DUP MLA Peter Weir, who is on the school's board of governors, said: "The school received malicious calls this morning, they were extremely threatening and violent in their nature.
"The staff then reacted very swiftly and professionally and evacuated the school, but this must be still extremely traumatising for the children concerned."
Dawn Walsh, whose daughter is in P5 at the school, said: "I think it's absolutely disgraceful, at the end of the day these kids are just trying to get an education.
"Anybody who can do this to kids is, in my eyes, disgusting."
In a statement, the Education Authority said it had been "made aware of malicious communications to a number of schools today".
"Schools have in place policies and procedures for dealing with such incidents," it added.
"They have been working closely with their local PSNI officers and taking the relevant precautionary measures to ensure the safety of all children."
Police in Scotland have said that a telephone threat to schools there "does not appear to be credible" but is "being taken seriously".
Ministers said it was disappointing and they would seek to overturn the move when the bill returns to the Commons.
Lord Heseltine, one of 13 Tory peers to rebel, said he had been sacked as a government adviser on regional growth.
The previous defeat was on the issue of guaranteeing the rights of EU citizens.
Lord Heseltine, 83, who served as a minister in the Thatcher government, said he was informed by the Conservative chief whip in the Lords he was to be sacked "from the five jobs with which I have been helping the government".
"This is entirely the right of the prime minister and I'm sorry that the expertise which I have put at the government's disposal over the last six years has now come to an end," he said.
"However, in the last resort, I believe, as I said in the House of Lords, the future of this country is inextricably interwoven with our European friends.
"It's the duty of Parliament to assert its sovereignty in determining the legacy we leave to new generations of young people."
Lord Heseltine had been brought in by former Prime Minister David Cameron to advise the government on a range of projects, including schemes in east London and Swansea.
After a three-hour debate on Tuesday, for the second time in a week peers amended the legislation that will authorise Theresa May to notify the EU of the UK's intention to leave and pave the way for official Brexit talks to begin.
The turnout in the Lords for the vote was the largest since 1831, according to Parliament's website.
The amendment, which was carried by a majority of 98, would require the final terms of the UK's withdrawal from the EU to be put to separate votes in the Commons and the Lords.
Some peers believe this would amount to a veto but ministers insist the UK would leave the EU anyway irrespective of whether it was approved or not.
As well as Lord Heseltine, 12 other Tory peers defied the government to vote in favour of the amendment, including former ministers Lord Deben and Viscount Hailsham.
The issue will now return to the Commons to be reconsidered by MPs, who have already rejected calls for the "meaningful vote" clause to be included in the legislation, saying verbal guarantees given by government on parliamentary scrutiny are sufficient.
The BBC's political editor Laura Kuenssberg said ministers were adamant they wouldn't back down after the Lords defeat and it was genuinely hard to tell at this stage if MPs had the numbers in the Commons to defeat the government.
Speaking in favour of the amendment, QC and crossbench peer Lord Pannick said it would enable Parliament to exercise some "control" over the process of withdrawal and fulfil its duty to properly scrutinise.
"It must be for Parliament to decide whether to prefer no deal or the deal offered by the EU," he said.
"It will guarantee that the government must come back to both Houses and seek approval for the result of negotiations."
But government minister Lord Bridges said once Article 50 had been triggered, the process of leaving the EU was irrevocable and the amendment was totally unclear on what would happen if the UK and the EU were not able to agree a formal deal on the terms of exit.
"We will leave with a deal or we will leave without a deal. That is the choice on offer."
Parliament, he insisted, would not be left "in the dark" during the two-year process and would be able to shape future legislation on the incorporation of EU law and potential changes to immigration rules.
He also argued the amendment would tie Mrs May's hands and make her task in getting a good deal "more difficult from day one".
Reacting to the defeat, Brexit Secretary David Davis suggested peers were threatening the UK's aim of getting negotiations under way as soon as possible.
"It is clear that some in the Lords would seek to frustrate that process, and it is the government's intention to ensure that does not happen," he said.
"We will now aim to overturn these amendments in the House of Commons."
But Labour's Baroness Smith said that given the referendum campaign had been full of arguments about reasserting Parliamentary sovereignty, it was appropriate that Parliament should have the "final say" on the process.
And former Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg urged MPs to "find the nerve" and ensure the requirement for a Parliamentary vote remained in the bill.
"I would urge MPs of all parties, including Brexiteers who campaigned to leave on the basis of parliamentary sovereignty, to stop Parliament being neutered.
"Parliament has a long history of ratifying treaties. What is the government scared of? If they cannot bring back a deal they are prepared to put before MPs, then it cannot be a deal that is good enough for Britain."
Earlier, a Lib Dem amendment calling for a second referendum on the terms of exit was comfortably defeated by 336 votes to 131.
Without a commitment to a second vote, the Lib Dems took the rate step of opposing the EU (Notification of Withdrawal) Bill at its third and final reading although peers overwhelmingly approved the bill and sent it back to the Commons.
Theresa May has said she wants to trigger Article 50 by the end of March but the Commons is unlikely to have an opportunity to consider the changes made by the Lords until the middle of next week as four days have been set aside for debate on the Budget.
Firefighters rescued her from the bathroom of a semi-detached home on Bradburn Road but she died at the scene.
The fire, which began before midnight, destroyed a bedroom and the rest of the house was affected by smoke.
The cause of the blaze was being investigated and police were called, the fire service said.
West Midlands Ambulance crews were also at the scene and treated the woman after the fire service began CPR.
The Conservative MP Robert Halfon is sitting in his office in Parliament, a copy of the left-leaning New Statesman lying on his desk.
The magazine's leader column doesn't make a habit of praising Tory MPs, but it has made an exception for Mr Halfon.
"Lessons for Labour from an Essex Tory MP" reads the headline on its editorial.
"That's going on the back of my bathroom door!" he tells me proudly.
The New Statesman thought Mr Halfon's campaign to restore a lower rate of income tax of 10p in the pound was such a good one, Labour ought to give it a look too.
There had already been praise from the online Bible of the Conservative grassroots, Conservative Home, the Daily Mirror and Gavin Kelly, the chief executive of the think tank the Resolution Foundation, who worked in Downing Street for Gordon Brown.
Mr Brown had both introduced the 10p rate, back in 1999 and scrapped it in 2007.
Hours later, Prime Minister David Cameron gave a nod to Mr Halfon's campaign in the Commons, and hours after that the Labour leader Ed Miliband said a future Labour government would reincarnate the 10p rate.
The scrap that has broken out over the ownership of the idea is an indicator of the importance of the fight for the political territory it is all about: people's standard of living, and the cost of living.
"The 10p rate of income tax had an iconic status, particularly for many people on relatively low pay, who felt it was a bit of the tax system on their side. All hell broke loose when it was abolished," Gavin Kelly from the Resolution Foundation told BBC Radio 4's PM.
"We live in a time when people are feeling huge pressures on their family budgets, on their living standards and it is quite hard for governments and opposition parties to know exactly what to say and what to do about that."
Mr Halfon is philosophical that his idea - originally a Labour idea - has been nicked. By Labour.
He hopes Ed Miliband's attraction to it spurs the government to introduce it first and has already detected the government is listening to his argument.
"It is interesting, when you do other things you occasionally get raised eyebrows from the whips and one or two comments here and there. But on this they have been very open and have been listening carefully.
"I did a debate on this in Westminster Hall and the Treasury minister's response on this was very interesting and he actually went through the history of how Gordon Brown repealed the 10p tax and suggested that had been a mistake."
The specifics of how Mr Halfon would like to see the policy implemented and Labour's plan do vary, but the headline idea is the same.
But others are not sure it's a wise plan, however it is introduced.
"One of my concerns is that if we are going to look to simplify our personal tax system and perhaps merge income tax with National Insurance, this measure makes that even more difficult because it creates even more marginal rates," Ryan Bourne from the free-market think tank the Centre for Policy Studies said.
Mr Bourne is concerned its reintroduction will make an already baffling tax system even more baffling.
"The way that it interacts with National Insurance and Tax Credit withdrawal means you get lots of deviations in that marginal rate across low rates of income and that can't be good for simplifying the tax system in the longer term."
For Robert Halfon, "tax-cutting is as much political as it is economic". In other words, it is about the signal it sends to the electorate and a 10p rate of income tax introduced by the Conservatives might help the party shake off the "party for the rich" tag its opponents like to throw around its neck.
Gavin Kelly from the Resolution Foundation agrees about both the power of the idea to shape perceptions of the political parties and the significance of winning that tussle.
"Make no mistake, this is the biggest issue in British politics today and tomorrow. It is not going away. The whole issue of living standards and more specifically the cost of living is an enormous deal for millions and millions of voters for all political parties all over the country and of course all the parties know that."
"They struggle to find simple ways of explaining what they can do about it because the problems people are on the end of are quite deep and structural," he adds.
The debate over 10p is likely to be just the opening salvo in a two year battle between now and the next election over which of the parties can best help improve our standard of living, and the cost of living for some of the poorest working families in particular.
Pompey broke the deadlock when Carlisle goalkeeper Mark Gillespie parried Kyle Bennett's shot into the path of Smith, who made no mistake from close range.
Adam McGurk had two chances to make it 2-0, first hitting the post and then having Danny Grainger block his shot.
Carlisle could have earned a point but Hallam Hope could not find the net from Derek Asamoah's cross.
The result means Portsmouth remain in sixth place in the League Two table, while Carlisle slip two places to 11th.
Portsmouth assistant manager Leam Richardson told BBC Radio Solent:

"It is always great for strikers to score. Smith has worked hard to get that little bit of luck and to get that goal today.
"The lads know what is expected; the work ethic among the lads is top class. We started the second half with intent and with tempo so we were unfortunate not to go two up.
"We are trying to get momentum, trying to gather pace and hopefully we can claw a few points back to try and get in the automatics and cement a play-off place."
The 30-year-old reportedly met a group of men on the beach at King's Esplanade in Hove and began chatting to them, then two of the men raped her.
Details of the assault have just been released by Sussex Police who said it happened sometime between 01:00 BST and 03:00 BST on 5 April.
The woman, who was visiting the city, rang a friend straight after the attack and they reported it to police.
Det Sgt Julie Greenwood said: "The victim describes the men as possibly Romanian.
"We are appealing to anyone who lives or was in the King's Esplanade area and saw or heard anything suspicious."
Police were called to a disturbance at a block of flats on Turnham Road, Brockley, on Thursday and found two 17-year-old boys with stab wounds.
Shaquan Mario Fearon died after arriving in hospital, police said.
Two boys, aged 15 and 16, have been arrested on suspicion of murder and remain in custody.
A post-mortem examination on 4 September gave the cause of Shaquan's death as a stab wound to the leg.
The second victim, who also suffered a stab wound, was taken to hospital and has since been discharged, officers said.
Det Ch Insp Will Reynolds, of the Met's Homicide and Major Crime Command, appealed for any witnesses to come forward.
He said: "Our initial enquiries have established that there were several people in the area at the time Shaquan was attacked."
Is Senior General Min Aung Hlaing the most powerful man in Myanmar?
Quite possibly.
He has control over how and where the army wages war, coupled with far reaching political powers.
In accordance with the military drafted constitution the 59-year-old has the right to appoint key ministers, choose a quarter of the MPs in the parliament and - as events last month showed - the ability to block any attempt to erode that power.
Getting an interview with him was not easy.
Why Myanmar's elections matter
For decades the Burmese army has regarded the foreign media, and the BBC in particular as an enemy of the state, too close to the pro-democracy movement.
But there have now been four years of reforms and we've opened a bureau in Yangon. So, in hope rather than expectation we sent our letter off.
The first response came back a month later. We'd fallen at the first hurdle having foolishly used the phrase "Burmese" rather than "Myanmar" army.
Having remedied that there then followed a series of increasingly bizarre meetings.
Late-night rendezvous, USB sticks handed over in coffee shop car parks and dark walks taken along Nay Pyi Taw's yawningly empty streets. I felt like a drug dealer.
There were no emails exchanged, and I never learnt the phone number or even the surname of the contact I was dealing with. But it was clear that unlike his predecessor Than Shwe, this senior general wanted to talk.
The most recent picture of Than Shwe shows him learning to use an iPad with a young relative - but the thought of him taking an active interest in Facebook and social media would have been laughable.
Min Aung Hlaing is different. Like many of the country's senior leaders his aides actively curate a Facebook page, paying for sponsored posts that stay near the top of congested Burmese news feeds.
He's got more than two 220,000 "likes" and provides updates ranging from which aircraft have been purchased to social projects he's visited.
It's part of a charm offensive, he told me, to reconnect the people and the army.
"If the people get the right information about the army they will understand us," he said, after thanking me for my Facebook follow.
"They'll see the military is defending the interests of the people and implementing the interests of the people and defending against threats to the country."
Min Aung Hlaing is charismatic, and there's a ready smile during the interview. It's in marked contrast to the much cooler style of President Thein Sein when I spoke to him in March of this year.
But there's an uncompromising message.
A clear thread running through our discussion was that as long as political parties played by the rules of Myanmar's so called "disciplined democracy" then the carefully limited space for debate and political activity would remain.
But there was no sign that he wanted to reduce the military's grip on Burmese political life and truly hand over to civilians.
That will need to wait, he said, until ceasefires and peace deals have been concluded with all of Myanmar's many ethnic armed groups.
"It could be five years or 10 years - I couldn't say," he said.
Those who've watched the glacial progress of talks with ethnic armed groups fear it might take much, much longer to disarm and reintegrate everyone.
One clear and positive message was that there would be no repeat of 1990 when a landslide victory for the NLD was ignored and annulled.
The ruling USDP are facing electoral disaster - but its relationship with the military has soured in the last two years, making a partisan intervention less likely.
"I believe the election will be free and fair," Min Aung Hlaing said. "That is our true wish. We are committed to helping make that happen anyway we can. When the election commission announces the result we have to respect it. Because it will have been democratically done."
But thanks to an infamous clause of the constitution the leader of the party that seems certain to win can't become president. Despite her best efforts to build bridges with the army, Aung San Suu Kyi is still barred and that appears unlikely to change.
Min Aung Hlaing's name has been mentioned as a possible presidential candidate, and he told me he was planning to retire when he turns 60 next year.
So would he stand for president if asked?
"The duty of the soldier is to serve the country in whatever role," he said coyly, while noting that he had 40 years of experience.
A final decision would depend on whether he meets the qualifications (he does, Suu Kyi doesn't), and whether he's asked. It was a "yes" in all but name.
Whether he gets that chance will depend on how the election pans out.
With a quarter of the Hluttaw's (parliament's) seats already under his control he has, if he wants it, a bye to the final three, and a guaranteed job at least as vice-president.
Whether he is then voted into the presidency will depend on the makeup of the Hluttaw. In addition to the military bloc he'll need the support of some elected MPs .
That may prove a big ask, and if the NLD falls short of a majority it's possible that Thein Sein would be better positioned to reach out to ethnic parties and secure a second term.
Although a nationwide ceasefire has proved elusive, the current president has earned plaudits for his efforts to deliver peace.
Fiona McClay's daughter Sarah, 24, suffered "unsurvivable" injuries when a Sumatran tiger walked through a door that was meant to be locked, and pounced on her in May 2013.
Last year the zoo, now known as South Lakes Safari Zoo, admitted breaching health and safety laws.
It emerged a "self-locking door" was poorly maintained and malfunctioned.
The zoo, in Dalton-in-Furness, was fined £297,500 at Preston Crown Court for failing to ensure the safety of staff. This month, councillors refused a licence application for the zoo after hearing that almost 500 animals had died there within four years.
All this is little consolation to Fiona McClay who says she was offered no sympathy or support over her daughter's unnecessary death.
"I have heard nothing from the zoo. I've still heard nothing," she told BBC Radio Scotland.
"The only contact I've had with the owner of the zoo was at one of the preliminary hearings to the prosecution case brought by the council, and he held a door open for me, just as anyone would do."
There were no flowers from the zoo at Sarah's funeral. Her mother claims there was even some question over whether her work colleagues would be able to attend.
Ms McClay remains upset about comments made in the immediate aftermath of the tragedy which seemed to imply Sarah was to blame.
"I remember the zoo owner stating to the press that Sarah was in the wrong place. And he was also saying that she had done something wrong.
"That was hard to understand. Whenever I was given permission to read the police statement that the owner had given, he was saying things about a person I did not know."
Fiona recalls how her daughter's fascination with wildlife began at an early age. Family pets included stick insects, hamsters, ferrets, rats and geckos.
"It was wild things - it wasn't just animals. It was wildlife and flowers and everything about that natural world that affected her."
She studied animal conservation and biology at university. Her first jobs were part-time, as a veterinary nurse and promoting the conservation of red squirrels.
As a child she had visited South Lakes Wild Animal Park, as it was formerly known.
When a job there came up, she embraced the chance to work full-time with animals.
"She was always first there and was always last to leave. It wasn't just a nine to five job," said her mother.
Initially working with birds, Sarah, originally from Glasgow, was soon given a role caring for the big cats.
"She was so excited about it because it was greater responsibility."
Her mother believes she was happy in her work - although she had misgivings about the way staff were treated and was investigating the possibility of setting up a trade union.
The day Sarah was fatally injured she remembers the "terrible" four-hour drive from Scotland to the hospital in Lancashire.
"I was telling myself the best, that perhaps she had been maimed in some way and had lost a limb, something like that. I don't think it ever went through my head that she had passed away until I was actually told."
Fiona draws some meagre solace from medical evidence that her daughter's death would have been quick.
The family asked for the tiger, Padang, not to be put down at the time but he was euthanised because of his age last year.
The zoo's owner, David Gill, no longer has any role in the running of the zoo. It remains open, run by Cumbria Zoo Company Ltd, pending an appeal against the decision not to grant an operating licence.
Fiona McClay believes the zoo should be closed for now - although not, perhaps, indefinitely.
In the meantime, she lives with the memory of a child who had grown up to become a friend, sharing secrets - but whose potential was cut short by one of the creatures she loved.
"When people say when you lose child, they lose a part of their life, it's absolutely true.
"It's not to say that every day I'm in tears and every moment I'm thinking about Sarah but there are times every day when I think 'I should have told Sarah that'."
The BBC contacted David Gill's solicitor about Fiona McClay's comments. He said his client was unwilling to offer any comment on any matter relating to the zoo while the licence was under the legal and regulatory process.
The current operator of the zoo, Cumbria Zoo Company Ltd, issued the following statement: "We have work to do, we know we do. A modern zoo should continually strive to be better in all it does.
"We are pushing hard to meet our goals, without compromise to achieve high standards for the animals in our care and for our staff and local community and we drive forward to earn Safari Zoo its place in the modern zoo community. Your support is all the more vital now."

Opener Beaumont (148) and wicketkeeper Taylor (147) put on 275 together as England piled up 373-5.
South Africa were always behind the rate but still managed 305-9 in reply.
Victory means England leapfrog the Proteas into third place in the group stage table, ahead of Sunday's game with defending champions Australia.
The Beaumont-Taylor stand was also the highest England partnership for any wicket, and the highest at a World Cup - but fell short of the world record 320 made by India's Deepti Sharma and Poonam Raut against Ireland in May.
For the third game in succession, England's batting was in imperious form.

Beaumont - busy and compact at the crease - was nimble on her feet early in her innings before playing some innovative ramps back over the keeper's head when the bowlers had adjusted their lengths.
Taylor was masterful as she compiled her 147 from 104 balls without having to resort to even the slightest hint of a slog.
Playing all of the shots which have become synonymous with the leading players in the men's game, she swept, flicked and ramped her way to her first one-day international century since 2013.
Some of her shots were delightful, including a Kevin Pietersen-like whip through the leg side which began an over where she took five consecutive fours off pace bowler Shabnim Ismail who conceded 89 runs from her 10 overs - a World Cup record.
Both centurions were dismissed late in England's innings - two of the four wickets to fall for 13 runs - before skipper Heather Knight clubbed a rapid unbeaten 22 to boost the score.
If England's batters are in fine form, their catching might have cost them on another day.
They dropped opener Lizelle Lee three times - Danielle Wyatt, substitute fielder Jenny Gunn and Lauren Winfield the culprits - before finally dismissing her for 72 to end a first-wicket stand of 128.
That opening partnership was alongside 18-year-old Laura Wolvaardt who hit some flowing boundaries through the off side before becoming bogged down.
Chloe Tryon smashed a 26-ball 54 to give South Africa late hope, but they had left themselves too much to do and a succession of wickets followed her dismissal.
Danielle Hazell justified her continued inclusion in place of fellow off-spinner Laura Marsh - who took 4-45 in their last game against Sri Lanka but was left out here in favour of slow left-armer Alex Hartley - by taking three wickets late in the innings.
South Africa's late power hitting, though, did ensure England conceded their highest ever total and contributed to the match becoming the highest scoring women's ODI of all time.
Ex-England captain Charlotte Edwards on BBC Test Match Special
Sarah Taylor and Tammy Beamount were outstanding. They played all around the wicket and South Africa can learn from those innings.
It was a frustrating bowling performance by South Africa - 100 runs were scored behind the wicket as opposed to 50 in an average game. They didn't react well to where England were scoring their runs.
England will be far more worried about their bowling and fielding.
They dropped catches and conceded a lot of runs. Those are areas they'll need to look at before taking on Australia.
England captain Heather Knight: "What a game. It was a brilliant day, but not to be a bowler. We're really chuffed.
"I got a lot of pad rash. Sarah was outstanding and we're pleased that Tammy got a score.
"The batting line-up is really firing at the moment and it's nice to have all those players in form. We're felling like we're getting some momentum."
South Africa skipper Dane van Niekerk: "All credit to Tammy and Sarah - they batted us out of the game.
"It was difficult, but hindsight isn't the best. We have been relying on our pace bowlers, but the English batters played really well.
"We took too long to adapt to the conditions."

Australia rested captain Meg Lanning, who is nursing a shoulder problem, for their game with Pakistan, but still managed to cruise to a 159-run win at Leicester.
Ellyse Perry (66), Alyssa Healy (63 not out) and Elyse Villani (59) helped Australia to 290-8 after a brief wobble at 7-2.
Once Pakistan fell to 62-5, they were never in the hunt and they eventually succumbed to 131 all out - Jess Jonassen returning eye-catching figures of 10-6-12-1.
It was a much narrower scoreline at Derby, where India beat Sri Lanka by 16 runs.
Deepti Sharma top-scored with 78 for India, whose 232-8 proved too many for Sri Lanka.
It means Australia and India sit atop the table with four wins from four - while Sri Lanka and Pakistan slipped to their fourth successive defeat.

The Broncos were 22 points behind early in the second half, but fought back to claim their first win in 11 months.
Half-back Joe Keyes scored three of their seven tries, while winger Kieran Dixon marked his return from a long-term knee injury with one of his own.
Leeds missed the chance to move above Wigan Warriors into second position.
A youthful Rhinos side, missing several first-team players ahead of their Challenge Cup final at Wembley against Castleford on Saturday, appeared in complete control when they led 30-8 early in the second period.
But the relegated Broncos, whose last victory came against Hull KR in September 2013, scored 20 unanswered points in the closing stages to register a shock win.
There was late drama to endure, however, as Leeds thought they had scored with the final play of the game - which would have been enough to earn at least a draw for the Rhinos - but it was ruled out by the officials.
Leeds started quickly, with Kallum Watkins touching down easily in the corner after two minutes and Josh Walters and Liam Sutcliffe also crossing early on.
The Broncos fought back with two scores in quick succession through Jordan Atkins and Keyes, but a powerful effort from Mitch Achurch and Zak Hardaker's excellent individual run gave the visitors a 16-point advantage at half-time.
Paul Aiton and Watkins set up Sutcliffe for his second try immediately after the break, but the hosts hit back once again with a superb team move finished off by winger Dixon, fit again after 10 months out, and Mike McMeeken's score under the posts.
Leeds second-rower Achurch ran in from 50 metres for his second try, but hooker Scott Moore kept London in the contest and two late tries from teenage half-back Keyes put the Broncos in front for the first time with six minutes to go.
Josh Drinkwater's penalty stretched their lead to four points in the closing seconds and Joey Grima's side held on for a long-awaited win.
London Broncos coach Joey Grima:
"I know Leeds had players missing today but they still had a quality team out there, and to come back like that is hard to believe.
"Given the season we have had, to produce a performance like that takes some doing.
"If I'm totally honest, I am pretty emotional about it all. There's a great atmosphere in the dressing room, although most of the players don't actually know the words to any victory songs."
Leeds coach Brian McDermott:
"I know people think we do not care about the league because of the Challenge Cup, but that is absolutely not true.
"In fact, if we miss out on top spot because of this game I will be very disappointed.
"There were individual errors out there today that are totally unacceptable - we did not play badly as a team, but there were too many mistakes from players.
"Credit to London though. They did not go away and that says a lot after the long, hard season they have had."
London Broncos: Farrar; Dixon, Mataitonga, Solomona, Atkins; Drinkwater, Keyes; Slyney, Moore, Wallace, Vea, McMeeken, Cook.
Replacements: Krasniqi, Griffin, Dollapi, Thomas.
Leeds Rhinos: Hardaker; Briscoe, Watkins, Handley, Hall; Sutcliffe, White; Singleton, Aiton, Bailey, S. Ward, Achurch, Walters.

Chris Coleman's side will host fellow Euro 2016 finalists Northern Ireland on Thursday, 24 March at Cardiff City Stadium (live on BBC Two Wales).
They will face Ukraine at Kiev's NSK Olympiyskiy Stadium four days later.
Wales hope to play a final friendly in May before heading to France, and talks are already under way with the Czech Republic and Sweden.
"Those are two countries we are talking to," Wales assistant manager Osian Roberts told BBC Wales Sport.
"Nothing has been confirmed so far but those talks will continue and hopefully those will soon conclude and we'll know where and when we'll be playing and against who."
BBC Radio Wales and Radio Cymru will also broadcast live commentaries of Wales' games against Northern Ireland and Ukraine.
Wales will play Slovakia in their opening Euro 2016 group game on 11 June, with games against England and Russia to follow.
Ukraine are in the same group as Northern Ireland, Germany and Poland.
Coleman said the two March friendlies would be ideal preparation for the finals in France, where Wales will be making their first appearance at a major tournament since 1958.
"Michael O'Neill has done a fantastic job as manager of Northern Ireland and I am delighted for him," Coleman said.
"This will be a great occasion for both sets of fans ahead of the finals.
"Meanwhile, the Ukraine are quality opposition and will be a real test for myself, the coaching team and the squad of players."
Roberts said in December that a friendly with Ukraine would be the perfect preparation for the game against Russia.
"It's quite obvious to see the similarities with Russia so we're trying to mirror the games in the tournament with the preparation games," he said.
Wales have met Ukraine on two previous occasions, with both games during the 2002 World Cup qualifiers ending 1-1.
Bonuses were cut to 0.5bn euros (£433m) from 2.4bn euros a year earlier.
Total pay at the bank, which employs about 100,000 people worldwide, was 8.9bn euros in 2016, down from 10.5bn the year before.
Deutsche has been cutting costs - it shed more than a thousand jobs last year - and raising money.
It is in the process of raising 8bn euros through selling new shares.
On Monday, Deutsche's shares opened down 1% at 17.67 euros.
Deutsche Bank reported an annual loss of 1.4bn euros (£1.2bn) for 2016 after being hit by legal costs, although that was down from a loss of 6.4bn euros the previous year.
In the final three months of 2016 alone the bank lost 1.9bn euros, mainly thanks to a record penalty in the US.
In January, it was fined £500m by US and UK regulators in connection with a Russian money laundering plan.
Major banks have paid heavy fines and other penalties in recent years for a range of misdemeanours, including interest rate and currency rigging, and mis-selling of products.
They are also finding conditions tough as regulations tighten.
Persistent low interest rates are another element of the tougher climate for banks, as it is far more difficult to make a profit when the difference between borrowing and deposit rates is so small.
Deutsche Bank, which last year was deemed the riskiest bank in the world by the International Monetary Fund for its global interconnectedness and weakness, has been slower than rivals to take action to recover from the financial crisis of 2008, giving it less strength to ride the weak business banking climate.
Deutsche Bank is currently in the process of closing 200 branches in Germany and laying off about 9,000 of its roughly 100,000 full-time staff.

The Active People Survey found the number of participants has increased by 250,000 since the organisation launched its This Girl Can campaign in 2014.
The difference between the number of men and women playing sport has narrowed to 1.55 million.
Overall, there were 229,400 more people playing regular sport than last year.
That increased the total number of over-16s playing sport in the 12 months up to 30 September 2016 to 15.97 million.
The figure is 1.88 million higher than that of 2005, when London won the right to host the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Sport England chief executive Jennie Price said: "These figures are really encouraging, especially the substantial increase in the number of women playing sport and being active every week.
"Our This Girl Can campaign set out to tackle the gender gap, so to reduce it significantly in just two years shows we are making a difference."
Sport England said going to the gym remained "hugely popular" with 7.10 million going on a weekly basis, an increase of 286,400.
It added: "Exercise classes, like spinning, pilates and boxercise continue to attract large numbers of people, especially women."

Other sports to have seen a rise in participation include netball, up 25,400 to 180,200, hockey up 4,500 to 92,700 and gymnastics, up 13,400 to 65,100.
Swimming saw an increase of 11,000 following several years of decline to reach a total of 2.52m people swimming at least once a week, while participation in football rose by 29,900 to 1.84 million.
However, Sport England said there had been a decline in two sports which had grown strongly in the past: athletics and cycling.
Athletics is down 5% to 108,400, while cycling participation fell 4% to 85,200.
It said both sports "remain popular with people in midlife", but were struggling to attract people under the age of 25.

He said he was "very flattered to be asked back" and was "currently dusting off my dancing shoes".
The programme's boss Simon Cowell said: "Dermot's back, hooray! And so is his dancing! Welcome home, Dermot."
Dermot left The X Factor after "eight wonderful years" and was replaced by Olly Murs and Caroline Flack.
Dermot said: "There is nothing more exciting than hosting live TV on a Saturday night. The show is naturally very close to my heart, after having hosted it for eight years.
"I'm excited to be back."
Olly and Caroline announced they were leaving the show in February after just one series, less than a week after Radio 1 DJ Nick Grimshaw said he would not be returning as a judge.
The audience figures for The X Factor have been falling over the last few years, and more people in the UK regularly chose to watch the BBC's Strictly Come Dancing on a Saturday night in 2015.
The show is also seeing the return of the room auditions, in which hopefuls sing for the judges face-to-face in a more intimate setting. If they impress three or more of the judges, they move on to the next stage of the competition.
The X Factor has made a number of singers into stars, including One Direction, who finished third in 2010 and have sold more than 70 million records worldwide.
Former contestant Olly has had four big-selling albums and 2011 champs Little Mix - the first group to win - have sold 3.3 million albums globally.
The revamped show will return this autumn.
A new report found abuses in custody documented by an independent committee after the crackdown on pro-democracy protests in 2011 had continued.
It concluded that the authorities had failed to tackle what the committee described as a "culture of impunity".
The government said the allegations were "incorrect and unfounded".
Bahrain continues to be wracked by political unrest, with the kingdom's Shia majority demanding greater political rights from the Sunni-led government, and violent attacks blamed on militants linked to Iran.
The violent suppression of the uprising four years ago, in which dozens were killed, hundreds injured and many more arrested, triggered an international outcry.
King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa responded by establishing the Bahrain International Commission of Inquiry (BICI), a panel of human rights experts, to investigate alleged abuses.
The BICI concluded in its report of 23 November 2011, that the National Security Agency and the interior ministry had "followed a systematic practice of physical and psychological mistreatment, which in many cases amounted to torture, with respect to a large number of detainees in their custody".
King Hamad accepted the report in full and three government bodies were set up with a collective mandate to end torture in interrogation and detention facilities.
However, HRW's report concluded that the anti-torture bodies lacked independence and transparency and had failed to fulfil their mandate.
Since 2012, there had been only one prosecution for torture and none relating to detentions associated with the political unrest, despite hundreds of complaints, it noted.
The US-based group interviewed 10 detainees who said they had endured coercive interrogations at the interior ministry's Criminal Investigations Directorate (CID) and in police stations since 2012, and four former inmates of Jaw prison, who said authorities had tortured them in March 2015.
Several described being subjected to electric shocks; suspension in painful positions, including by their wrists while handcuffed; forced standing; extreme cold; and sexual abuse.
Hussein Jawad, a human rights advocate who was arrested in February, said officers had squeezed his genitals, beaten him in a hallway, and "threatened to rape his wife".
"The claims of Bahrain and its allies that authorities have ended torture in detention are simply not credible," said Joe Stork, HRW's deputy Middle East director.
"All the available evidence supports the conclusion that these new institutions have not effectively tackled what the BICI report described as a 'culture of impunity' among security forces."
The inspector-general of Bahrain's interior ministry, Maj Gen Ibrahim al-Ghaith, insisted in a letter to HRW that it had carried out all of the BICI's recommendations.
"Your conclusion that 'the authorities have failed to tackle a culture of impunity among the security forces' is incorrect and unfounded," he added.
A separate government statement sent to the Associated Press said 73 security forces personnel had been "transferred to courts on charges of mistreatment".
The fossils were found in the Borders and date from a missing period in geological history between 360 and 345 million years ago.
Scientists said the find was pivotal to our understanding of evolution.
The National Museum of Scotland exhibition, which opens on Friday, runs until Sunday 14 August.
The exhibition, Fossil Hunters: Unearthing the Mystery of Life on Land, is free ti visitors.
The fossils were found over the past few years - some as recently as summer 2015 - and have been at the National Museums Collections Centre in Edinburgh until now.
Until recently, there was very little fossil evidence of life on land during the early Carboniferous period, around 345-360 million years ago.
It was in this period that vertebrate life moved from the sea to the land.
The 15-million-year missing link is named "Romer's Gap" after the American palaeontologist Alfred Sherwood Romer, who identified it.
Some palaeontologists concluded that low levels of oxygen during this period restricted evolution on land.
However, experts said these fossils confirm that a rich and diverse ecosystem of amphibians, plants, fish and invertebrates thrived during this period.
One of palaeontology's unanswered questions, that of how vertebrate life crawled out of the water, will also be addressed.
Visitors to the exhibition will have the opportunity to discover how amphibians took their first steps on to land and why it is such an important milestone in the evolutionary timeline.
They will also be able to find out about the techniques used to unearth the fossils and what the analysis of the finds tell about life on land before the dinosaurs.
Long before vertebrates evolved legs, there was already life on land.
The earliest-known terrestrial ecosystem in the world is preserved in a bed of sediment in Aberdeenshire called Rhynie Chert.
The 410-million-year-old rock contains plants, spiders and the oldest-known fossil insects.
However, there was no evidence of tetrapods (vertebrates with four limbs) on land.
Fossil evidence pre-dating Romer's Gap showed tetrapods living in the water 360 million years ago, but their limbs were not strong enough to support them on land.
Around 15 million years later, evidence of tetrapod life on land can be found, by which point amphibians were well-adapted to walking.
Palaeontologists could only speculate as to how and why the monumental step from water to land was taken.
The late Stan Wood, a self-taught Scottish field palaeontologist, was convinced that fossil evidence of tetrapod life during Romer's Gap could be found in Scotland, and spent 20 years searching for it.
In 2011, he uncovered never-before-seen fossil evidence of early tetrapod life on land - fossil animal skeletons, along with millipedes, scorpions and plants- at the Whiteadder River, near Chirnside.
Nick Fraser, keeper of natural sciences at National Museums Scotland said: "National Museums Scotland holds one of the finest collections of fossils of early, land-based life in the world.
"Solving the mystery of this evolutionary missing link is hugely exciting, and has allowed us to gain a rich understanding of a key period in the evolution of life on earth.
"This fascinating exhibition will explore in detail for the first time the full story of this remarkable discovery."
Long before vertebrates evolved legs, there was already life on land.
President Dilma Rousseff is fighting for her political survival in the midst of an unprecedented corruption scandal, centred on the state owned oil giant Petrobras. Her woes are exacerbated by an economic downturn that threatens to undermine some of the social and economic progress of the last decade.
For months, frustrated Brazilians have been showing their anger in many ways, most notably the neighbourhood "panelaco" - banging pots and pans in noisy protest.
It was a protest the ruling Workers' Party even tried to turn on its head - using political ads to urge fellow Brazilians to put the pans to more productive use feeding the nation and helping Brazil on the road to recovery.
"We're in a year of transition," President Rousseff says in the ad, in something of an understatement. With inflation pushing 10% and economic recession looming, she is using the ad to promise that Brazil will soon return to economic growth, to what she calls "a better place".
Many Brazilians are not convinced. In the nation's biggest city, Sao Paulo, feelings were running high at what was the largest of the many protests that took place across the country on Sunday.
Numbers were difficult to estimate but there were at least 100,000 yellow and gold clad demonstrators on the main thoroughfare, Avenida Paulista.
"I'm 55 years old and I always thought of this as the country of the future," one protester told me. "But this future never happens because of the way corruption holds us back."
There were similar but smaller protests in other major cities including Rio de Janeiro, Brasilia and Belo Horizonte - where the defeated opposition candidate in last year's presidential election, Aecio Neves, took part in calls for Ms Rousseff's removal from office.
The president's fall from grace has been dramatic.
"Two years ago the popularity of President Dilma was more or less 65%, nowadays it's less than 10%," says political analyst Mauricio Santoro from Rio de Janeiro's State University. "So in just a couple of years it went to the bottom."
He adds: "Dilma has a very serious leadership gap which was not really a problem when the economy was going well. But now her many difficulties are very clear. She doesn't have the ability to put around the table people from different backgrounds, very different social movements and all this is creating many problems for her."
Ms Rousseff's nemesis and tormentor-in-chief is Eduardo Cunha - the opposition chair of the lower house of Congress in Brasilia. Influential and socially conservative, he's the one trying to begin impeachment proceedings against the president.
Mr Cunha has been accused by the government of deliberately sabotaging legislation to make life even more difficult for the president.
But while Ms Rousseff's adversaries in Congress continue to plot her downfall, her working-class power base is also out in force.
Thousands of mainly rural women's organisations marched through the capital last week with a warning that "there cannot be a coup" - constitutional or otherwise.
Their argument is simple: Ms Rousseff has a democratic mandate and has done nothing illegal. To try and remove her by force or any other means would be to weaken Brazil's relatively young democracy.
But the arrests in connection with the Lava Jato (Car Wash) scandal keep on coming. Among them, the heads of some of Brazil's biggest construction companies, several senior figures at Petrobras, and most recently Treasurer of the ruling party Joao Vaccari.
Nonetheless, says, Mauricio Santoro, given this country's turbulent history, Brazilians are not necessarily in the mood to force Ms Rousseff from office.
"So far the difficulty for the supporters of an impeachment has been the lack of a smoking gun connecting Dilma directly to the corruption scandals, " says Mr Santoro.
"There's the widespread feeling that she knew about it, that she was negligent in controlling Petrobras, but she has not been implicated by any of the investigations. And without that it's very difficult to support an impeachment, without seeing that they're planning a coup."
Uncomfortable and arguably weak at defending herself in public, Ms Rousseff has taken to calling on her much more popular predecessor Lula da Silva to help shore up the government.
Re-elected less than a year ago, Ms Rousseff needs to drastically improve her performance if she is to see out the remaining three years of her presidency.
The protesters on Avenida Paulista smell blood but so far they are the "natural" opponents of the Worker's Party (PT) - white and middle class.
A rising rate of inflation and the prospect of prolonged economic instability are the big issues looking forward.
If and when Brazil's working classes - the mixed-race and urban poor who have always championed the PT - hit the streets as their jobs and welfare come under threat, then Ms Rousseff will really have something to worry about.

Traore, who played 93 games for the Rs, helped them win the Championship play-off final against Derby in 2014.
After moving to Arsenal from Monaco in 2005, Traore played 35 games and was also loaned to Portsmouth and Juventus.
France-born Traore's three-year contract at the City Ground will run from 1 August.
His signing comes on the same day that the Championship side announced the retirement of midfielder Andy Reid, at the age of 34.
Traore becomes the sixth summer addition made by new Forest boss Philippe Montanier, four of which have been defenders.
He follows Finland's Thomas Lam from Dutch Eredivisie side PEC Zwolle, Poland's Damien Perquis and Hildeberto Pereira, on loan from Benfica, goalkeeper Stephen Henderson and former Everton striker Apostolos Vellios from Greek club Iraklis Thessaloniki.

Marin successfully defended her world title in Jakarta on Sunday against India's Saina Nehwal.
But the version of Spain's Royal March played at the medal ceremony was the one dating back to Gen Francisco Franco's far-right dictatorship.
Spain got rid of the words in 1978.
Since the death of Franco the Royal March has been played without words - and the mistake in Jakarta clearly amused Marin as she stood on the podium. A video clip on YouTube showed her reaction.
The words were written by poet Jose Maria Peman in 1928 and were adopted by Franco's nationalists in 1939 after their victory over left-wing forces in the Spanish Civil War.
"An older version of the anthem was played during the Women's Singles medal ceremony following Marin's retention of the title which she won a year ago," the BWF said in a statement.
"The Badminton World Federation and the hosts, the Indonesia Badminton Association, sincerely regret this unfortunate mistake."
The old anthem includes the words: "Glory to the Fatherland that knew how to follow, over the blue of the sea the path of the sun."
Joe Bartley was met by cheers and applause from customers when he clocked on for the first time at the Cantina Bar and Kitchen in Paignton, Devon.
The pensioner landed the job after posting a plea in the Herald Express.
He said he was "overwhelmed by all the attention" and was looking forward to "getting down to the job".
More on the 89-year-old's job search, plus other news
His first appearance "was like walking onto a stage to give a bit of a turn", said Mr Bartley, whose first task was to serve some mince pies.
He also received a pile of fan mail.
Customers had come in specially to see the ex-serviceman and there had been "tons" of goodwill messages on the restaurant's Facebook page, said co-owner Queenie Martin.
"Most of our staff are young so it'll be nice to have him. Everybody here is lovely, so he'll fit in", she said.
Mr Bartley said he had felt very lonely after his wife Cassie died two years ago.
"I was bored to death sat here doing nothing not seeing anyone".
He described living alone as "solitary confinement".
Essentra's IP5 cartons plant, based at Imperial Park in Coedkernew, mainly makes gift boxes for the retail industry.
The company has previously received more than £500,000 from the Welsh Government to help expand its operations in the city.
The Welsh Government said it was "deeply disappointed" at the news.
Essentra said the site had an operating loss of £3.4m from January to June and profitability was not set to improve.
A consultation has begun on plans to stop production at the factory and, if agreed, work would cease by the end of the year.
The proposal does not impact the firm's other Newport factory, IP4, which makes labels.
The company said it understood the announcement would "cause a great deal of uncertainty" for staff and it would "provide as much support as possible as matters progress through the consultation process".
Chief executive Paul Forman said: "It is clearly with regret that we are entering into consultation on this proposal, and I and the project management team are committed to undertaking this process in an open, honest and respectful way.
"The possible closure of the IP5 site in Newport is in no way a reflection on the quality or commitment of our employees."
One worker leaving the IP5 plant on Thursday said staff were still "going through meetings with management".
"The mood is very low," added another worker. "I think everyone is the same, nobody wants to lose their jobs."
Another employee added: "It's quite bad. It's a job at the end of the day - we'll just have to get new jobs."
Mohammad Asghar, Conservative AM for South Wales East, said the news was disappointing.
"The Essentra cartons plant has received substantial investment from the Welsh Labour Government to help expand its operations in the city," he said.
"This has clearly not succeeded - and down the line there will be some serious questions for ministers to answer.
Jayne Bryant, Labour AM for Newport West, said she was "concerned" and has had discussions with Essentra's management and Economy Secretary Ken Skates.
"The business has been financially supported by Welsh Government and I have been advised that Welsh Government is now in touch with the company so they can discuss the implications of this announcement," she said.
Steffan Lewis, Plaid Cymru AM for South Wales East, called the announcement "troubling".
A Welsh Government spokesman said: "This will be a worrying time for workers and their families and we will be working closely with the company and others to ensure employees are fully supported throughout this difficult period."
Newport council leader Debbie Wilcox said it was "extremely sad news for the city and especially for the employees and their families".
Sinn Féin's North Belfast MLA Gerry Kelly said a pact with the SDLP would be about "progressive politics".
SDLP leader Alasdair McDonnell said his party had "no interest whatsoever in a pact with Sinn Féin"
He said he was "deeply disappointed" at the two unionist parties' pact.
"We believe these cynical political moves are designed with the sole purpose of circumventing democracy," he said.
"Pacts are not about getting the best candidates to represent people - this is about pitting one community against another."
Earlier, SDLP MLA Alban Maginness said Sinn Féin's proposal was a mirror image of what unionists had done.
"Our position is very clear, we don't enter into sectarian pacts," he said.
"We are not going to do it in this situation."
Mr Maginness, a candidate for North Belfast, said the pact was "depressingly predictable, sad and disappointing" and amounted to "a sectarian carve-up".
"Progressive politics is about trying to tackle sectarianism, not to embolden sectarianism or to entrench sectarianism," he said.
Mr Kelly said "if the accusation is that we are looking for a sectarian pact then it ignores the fact that we are for religious freedom, for anti-racism laws for LGBT, for the civic forum which they are against and for the Single Equality Act".
"Is Alban Maginness saying that that is not good reason to come together and bring forward candidates who are for all those progressive policies?" he said.
"It is no coincidence that the [unionist] pacts are in the three areas where Sinn Féin are strong. In other areas they have not made pacts.
"The Ulster Unionists are going to diminish their vote and go down further. The Ulster Unionists have given a leg up to the DUP."
The deal between the Democratic Unionist Party and Ulster Unionist Party means there will be a single candidate from the two main unionist parties in four constituencies.
The DUP will step aside in Fermanagh and South Tyrone and Newry and Armagh.
The UUP will step aside in East Belfast and North Belfast.
NFU official Gordon Corner said 50 men and children were involved in an incident in Midville on Monday which "terrorised" a farmer.
A 24-hour dispersal order was put in place on Wednesday by police after officers received "a high volume of hare coursing-related incidents".
More than 2,000 calls have been made to Lincolnshire Police during 2015-16.
Hare coursing has been illegal throughout the UK since 2005. The Hunting Act 2004 makes it an offence to hunt wild mammals with dogs.
Mr Corner, an adviser for the NFU's Holland region, which covers that part of Lincolnshire, welcomed the dispersal order but said: "The thing is they need to catch them first so they can issue the order and hare coursing currently in Lincolnshire is out of control."
Speaking about the Midville incident, Mr Corner said the gang of 50 people drove across fields in 10 vehicles.
"One police car turned up quite quickly. The hare coursers dispersed, they caught seven men but we don't know what happened to them," he said.
"We've had lots and lots of meetings with them [police], we've had lots of discussions about how we and farmers can help. But we need to have some action.
"If [police] took the information they got and use it, then I think they would have a better success rate [with tackling hare coursing].
Tim Casey, a farmer near Coningsby, said some farmers were "at breaking point" and could be forced to tackle the crime themselves.
Rural crime officer PC Nick Willey said the force was doing all it could but added it should look at other ways of combating the crime.
The force's police and crime commissioner Marc Jones added: "I have recently contacted the chief constable to raise these matters and to make clear the importance I place on rural community safety.
"I believe the force is currently assessing the most effective operational response and yesterday's order is only the beginning."
Traditionally, coursing incidents start to rise in the autumn after crops have been harvested. They then continue until spring.

Mofijul Rahima Sheikh, 22, was the winner of the 10m rupee prize ($150,000; £106,000) at the Karunia government lottery.
He bought the winning ticket in Kozhikode city, where he was looking for work.
After discovering his win, he sought protection at a police station fearful that someone would steal his ticket.
Mr Sheikh arrived in the city on Wednesday and, on the following day, was handpicked to work at a construction site.
With the 50 rupees ($0.75; £0.52) he earned from his first day at the job, he bought the Karunia (compassion) lottery ticket.
"He told me he purchased the ticket out of sympathy for the physically-challenged seller," local police official UK Shahjahan told the BBC.
Three days later, Mr Sheikh discovered he had won the prize.
He spent two days at the police station, keeping safe his valuable ticket, until the banks re-opened after the Hindu holiday of Shivaratri.
"He came here on Sunday saying he feared for his life," another police official, AV John, said.
"He came with his luggage and everything... It was difficult for him to handle the pressure and excitement. By Tuesday, he was normal."
Mr Sheikh, who is married and has an eight-month-old daughter, was planning to work and save the money to build a house.
His relatives were reportedly planning a big reception in his village in Bardhaman district.
Workers from West Bengal replace thousands of people in Kerala who migrate to oil-rich Gulf countries. There, they earn more than double the average salary in the western Indian state.
In a blogpost, security guru Bruce Schneier said "precisely calibrated" attacks on key net firms had been seen for over a year.
The attacks sought weaknesses in the defences of organisations that oversaw critical parts of the net, he said.
He said his "first guess" was that either China or Russia was behind the series of attacks.
Responding to his comments, one security firm said the range of attacks he described was "the new normal" for many organisations.
The hackers used well-known distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks to probe defences, wrote Mr Schneier.
These attacks typically seek to knock a site offline by overwhelming it with data. They are often used by extortionists who threaten to cripple a site via DDoS unless its owners pay a fee.
Mr Schneier said the DDoS attacks observed against core net firms had a different character. To begin with they were "significantly larger" and lasted longer than most such attacks.
They were also more sophisticated because the amount of data being directed at victims was slowly turned up. Often, he said, the peak data rate of one series of attacks would be the starting point for the next wave.
The attackers also sought to find out what digital defences firms could muster by employing several different types of DDoS attack.
"It's as if the attacker were looking for the exact point of failure," he said.
Other attacks on the net's addressing system had also been seen that, together with the DDoS probes, revealed a worrying pattern, he said.
"Someone is extensively testing the core defensive capabilities of the companies that provide critical internet services," he wrote.
Mr Schneier did not reveal which firms had been hit in the attacks as the victims had shared information with him under a guarantee of anonymity.
Information gathered on DDoS attacks by net giant Verisign lent weight to Mr Schneier's conclusions. In the latest edition of a regularly issued report, it said it had seen DDoS attacks become "more frequent, persistent and complex".
Arbor Networks, which helps defend firms against DDoS attacks, said they had been growing in "frequency, volume, and sophistication" for many years.
Roland Dobbins, principal engineer at Arbor, said it was "manifestly untrue" that only state-sponsored hackers could mount the most sophisticated and sizeable attacks.
The constant hum of DDoS attacks that swept the net on a daily basis were kicked off by many different actors, he said.
"Some are nation-state actors, some are affiliated with nation-states at arm's length, many are non-state ideological actors, and many are commercially driven criminal actors," said Mr Dobbins.
"Irrespective of the identities and motivations of DDoS threat actors, successful defence is demonstrably possible against even the largest and most sophisticated DDoS attacks."
Youngs, 26, in his 10th season of senior rugby with the club, played in three of England four World Cup games.
Uncapped lock Slater, 27, has played 101 games for the Tigers since 2010.
Burns, who made 28 appearances last season following his arrival from Gloucester, has yet to feature in 2015-16 after suffering a fractured jaw.
The 25-year-old has been capped five times by England, but has not played for his country since 2014.
"When I first came to Tigers last summer, I always thought of it as a long-term move for me," said Burns.
In her first foreign policy speech at the Lord Mayor's banquet in the City of London, the prime minister promised to make globalisation "work for all".
A Downing Street source said UKIP's Nigel Farage would not have a role in building UK links with Donald Trump.
Labour said Mrs May had "no plan" for life in a post-Brexit world.
Speaking at London's Guildhall, Mrs May told the audience of leading business figures she envisaged a stronger role for government in developing an industrial strategy aimed at spreading wealth more evenly across the country.
She said that, after Mr Trump's victory in the US presidential election, "change is in the air", adding: "To be the true global champion of free trade in this new modern world, we also need to do something to help those families and communities who can actually lose out from it.
"Not standing inflexibly, refusing to change and still fighting the battles of the past, but adapting to the moment, evolving our thinking and seizing the opportunities ahead.
"That is the kind of leadership we need today. And I believe that it is Britain's historic global opportunity to provide it."
Mrs May said leaving the EU showed "how a free, flexible, ambitious country can step up to a new global role".
"This is a new direction - a new approach to managing the forces of globalisation so that they work for all - and it is the course on which the government I lead has embarked," she said.
Mrs May cited the UK's recent agreement to keep Nissan car production in the north-east of England and the development of a global hub to repair and maintain fighter aircraft in Wales as evidence of a competitive industrial strategy.
Mrs May, who has called for more employee representatives on company boards and greater disclosure about corporate pay, also pledged to crack down on unfair business practices which "undermine faith in capitalism and free markets".
The Guildhall speech is one of the major foreign policy and security addresses which the prime minister makes every year.
Carolyn Fairbairn, director-general of the CBI business group, said: "It's encouraging to see the government make a robust case for free trade. Working with business, it can ensure that the benefits help drive productivity, and increase living standards in all parts of the country."
But, for Labour, shadow lord president of the council Jon Trickett said: "Theresa May ‎has spent the early days of her time in Number 10 giving speeches about spreading opportunity and providing leadership but her actions have betrayed her.
"She talks about leading Europe. But has no plan for Brexit. She talks about extending opportunity. But Britain's working people are worse off. And she talks about transforming the economy. But all that is on offer is more cuts, poor investment and little, if any, growth."
Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron said: "Theresa May is trying to have her cake and eat it. She talks about being pro-business but won't offer the one thing business leaders needs most: clarity on her plans for Britain's future with Europe. She can't have it both ways."
Meanwhile, Nigel Farage's meeting with US president-elect Mr Trump over the weekend meant he was the first British politician to meet Mr Trump since his election.
Some Conservatives are questioning Mrs May's refusal to entertain any role for the interim UKIP leader in building links with the US administration, but a Downing Street source played down any disquiet.
The source said any involvement for Mr Farage was "categorically not going to happen", adding: "Farage is doing a very good PR job of trying to make himself seem indispensible."
Asked whether he would hire Mr Farage to improve links with Mr Trump, former Chancellor George Osborne told ITV's The Agenda: "Absolutely not. I mean, Theresa May is a very sensible person who is not going to do that.
"The British prime minister or the British government cannot contract its foreign policy out to Nigel Farage."
Mrs May's spokeswoman told reporters the relationship between Mr Trump and the PM was "working well" following an initial phone call that was "very warm in tone".
Arriving in Brussels for a meeting with his EU counterparts, Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson there was "a lot to be positive about" following Mr Trump's election.
"It is very important not to pre-judge the president-elect or his administration," he added.
John Hinckley Jr shot the president, who survived, and three others outside the Hilton Hotel in Washington in 1981.
Mr Hinckley was found not guilty by reason of insanity but was sent for treatment to a Washington hospital.
Currently, he spends 17 days per month at his mother's home in the nearby state of Virginia.
Mr Hinckley's lawyer, Barry Levine, told a federal court on Wednesday that the would-be assassin is "clinically ready" to leave St Elizabeth's Hospital permanently because he has been in "full and stable remission" for more than two decades.
The lawyer is asking a judge to grant his client "convalescent leave", which would allow him to live outside the hospital with regular visits to mental health professionals.
But Prosecutor Colleen Kennedy disagreed and said more restrictions and conditions are necessary to keep Mr Hinckley and others safe.
His mother is 89 years old and lives near Williamsburg, Virginia.
While living with her, he is allowed to live a normal life that includes unsupervised shopping and dining out, and occasional contact with the US Secret Service.
Mr Reagan was just 69 days into his presidency when the attempt was made on his life.
The former president suffered a punctured lung, but survived after being rushed to a nearby hospital.
Three others were wounded, including White House aide James Brady who was shot in the head and suffered brain damage and partial paralysis.
A Secret Service agent and a police officer suffered lesser wounds.
A gun control law passed in 1993 was nicknamed The Brady Bill and the White House press briefing room bears Brady's name. He died in August of last year at the age of 73.
Boss Neil Smith confirmed that the 34-year-old was staying after Saturday's friendly against Leatherhead.
Chorley joined Bromley in the summer of 2015 after leaving Portsmouth and made 26 appearances last term.
"We do have a young side at the moment and he brings experience on and off the pitch. He'll also come in and help coaching with our Academy," said Smith.
All 129 members will take either an oath or an affirmation in the well of the Holyrood chamber.
The leaders of Holyrood's five political parties will be sworn in first, before the remaining MSPs proceed in alphabetical order.
Once all the MSPs are sworn in, a presiding officer and deputies will be elected, with five contenders currently in the running for the top job.
The SNP is preparing for a return to government, having won 63 seats in the Scottish Parliament elections, two short of an overall majority once the non-partisan presiding officer is elected.
The Scottish Conservatives are expected to take up a new position in the chamber, having overtaken Labour to be the parliament's second-largest party, with 31 seats.
Outgoing Presiding Officer Tricia Marwick will oversee the oaths and affirmations in three 45-minute batches, with MSPs allowed to choose which of the two different statements they make.
The oath of allegiance has members "swear that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth," concluding with "so help me God".
Meanwhile the affirmation has members "solemnly, sincerely and truly declare and affirm that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth," omitting any religious reference.
Members then sign the Parliamentary Register.
In the afternoon, the newly sworn-in MSPs will elect one of their number to serve as the presiding officer. This role includes overseeing meetings of the parliament as well as undertaking diplomatic functions and representing the parliament at home and abroad.
Five MSPs have so far put themselves forward for the role, including former deputy presiding officers John Scott and Elaine Murray, leading Labour figures Johann Lamont and Ken Macintosh and Conservative Murdo Fraser.

Scientists found that the cocktail of chemicals in cigarettes is particularly harmful to developing liver cells.
They developed a method of studying the effects of maternal smoking on liver tissue using embryonic stem cells.
The team, led by the University of Edinburgh, also discovered the cigarette chemicals affect male and female foetuses differently.
During their research they used pluripotent stem cells - cells which have the ability to transform into other cell types - to build foetal liver tissue.
Liver cells were exposed to the harmful chemicals found in cigarettes, including specific substances known to circulate in foetuses when mothers smoke.
The study showed that a chemical cocktail - similar to that found in cigarettes - harmed foetal liver health more than individual components.
Dr David Hay from the University of Edinburgh's centre for regenerative medicine, said: "Cigarette smoke is known to have damaging effects on the foetus, yet we lack appropriate tools to study this in a very detailed way.
"This new approach means that we now have sources of renewable tissue that will enable us to understand the cellular effect of cigarettes on the unborn foetus."
The liver is vital in clearing toxic substances and plays a major role in regulating metabolism.
Smoking cigarettes, which contain around 7,000 chemicals, can damage foetal organs and may do lasting harm.
The findings of the latest research, which was carried out in collaboration with the Universities of Aberdeen and Glasgow, also highlighted the different effects of cigarette smoke on livers in male and female foetuses.
Male tissue showed liver scarring and female tissue showed more damage to cell metabolism.
Prof Paul Fowler, director of the institute of medical sciences at the University of Aberdeen, said: "This work is part of an ongoing project to understand how cigarette smoking by pregnant mothers has harmful effects on the developing foetus.
"These findings shed light on fundamental differences in damage between male and female foetuses."
The study is published in the journal Archives of Toxicology.
Rolls last issued a profit warning in February, claiming the sharp fall in oil prices had "increased uncertainty for many of our markets and customers".
It had previously said its 2015 profit would be between £1.4bn and £1.55bn.
But on Monday, the engineering firm lowered its profit outlook again, this time to between £1.325bn and £1.475bn.
Rolls-Royce shares fell nearly 9% to 780p on the profit downgrade.
Two things are weighing heavily on Rolls Royce - the low oil price and the development of its new jet engine.
Rolls-Royce makes much of its money in its marine division supporting oil exploration - building vessels and rig support equipment. With oil giants pulling back on capital investment, the division has suffered.
It has also been caught out by its development of the new Trent 7000 jet engine - announced in Farnborough last year - which replaces the Trent 700. Orders have fallen for the older model faster than expected as customers wait for the new engine which will come into service in 2017.
"Bloody" was one description of this morning's announcement by a senior figure close to the business.
Warren East, the new chief executive of Rolls Royce, will be given a period of grace while he works out where Rolls-Royce's real growth areas are. But the fall in the share price this morning shows that investors are waiting to be convinced that the company has the right strategy in place.
The engineering and aerospace firm had originally said profit in 2015 would be flat to 3% lower, when it surprised investors in February last year by issuing its first profit warning in a decade.
In the end, underlying pre-tax profits in 2014 fell 8% to £1.62bn, roughly in line with expectations.
Rolls also said it would halt its £1bn share buyback - of which it had completed £500m - as a result of falling profits.
Rolls-Royce said lower demand and pricing for its Trent 700 engines and reduced demand for its business jet engines would hit profits by £300m.
"I am clearly disappointed by today's announcement and the impact this will have on our investors and employees," said Rolls-Royce chief executive Warren East.
"Notwithstanding the market developments, it is our responsibility to build a business that is sustainable and resilient, no matter what is thrown at us, and this will be my fundamental priority for the next few years."
Mr East joined Rolls-Royce as chief executive earlier this year from microchip manufacturer Arm Holdings, replacing John Rishton, who announced his retirement after a difficult four years in charge of the 131-year-old company.
He teamed up with new musicians, new producers and a new songwriting partner in the form of Elvis Costello and it inspired his first world tour in 10 years.
Now, as the record is re-released, complete with previously unheard demos, Sir Paul speaks to BBC 6 Music's Matt Everitt about collaborating with Costello, Kanye West and Michael Jackson - but why he'll never work with anyone better than John Lennon.
Sir Paul also reveals he's working on a new album with Adele's producer, and what he thinks his musical legacy will be.
Do you learn something from every person that you collaborate with?
My thing with collaboration, I know I can never have a better collaborator than John. That is just a fact. So I don't try and escape it. I just know there's no way I can find someone now who's going to write better stuff with me than I wrote with John. But having said that, I'm interested in working with other people because they bring their own particular thing to it.
If you're thinking of someone like Stevie (Wonder), he works by just making something up on his keyboards. You invite him to dinner, he shows up 10 hours later because he was fiddling around on his keyboard. He's such a musical monster and such a genius, that's what you learn from him.
Michael Jackson, we just sat upstairs in this office and I tinkled on the piano and we just made up a song there. Now with Kanye, I had no idea what was going to happen because I knew it wasn't going to be two acoustic guitars opposite each other. So I thought, 'Well, here goes nothing'.
The one provision I said to everyone, I said, 'Look, if I feel this doesn't work out, then we just won't tell anyone. Kanye who? I didn't work with him!'
I just was myself and I told Kanye various stories that had inspired me musically. One of them was how the song Let It Be arrived, which was through a dream I'd had in which I'd seen my mother, who had died 10 years previously.
But I was so inspired by that that I wrote the song. I told Kanye that, because he'd lost his mother. So then he wrote a song called Only One when I was just noodling around on the electronic piano. So he got the melody, I put the chords in and the style and that's how it happened.
Did you go into Flowers In The Dirt feeling like it was kind of a bit of a reset?
I think so. I'm just bringing up my family, and then a point will arrive where I just think, 'OK, I've got some songs. I should get busy, I should record these. We should go out on tour. It's time'.
And that's what happened round about that time. It was suggested to me that I work with Elvis Costello as a partnership and it seemed like a good idea. I thought, 'Well, he's from Liverpool, he's good' - which helps - and we have a lot of things in common and so I thought, 'Well that could work'.
Was it writing nose-to-nose? Two acoustics, strumming at each other?
There's a million ways to write, but the way I always used to write was with John and it would be across from each other, either in a hotel bedroom on the twin beds, with an acoustic guitar and we're just looking at each other. He'd make up something, I'd make up something and we'd just spin off each other. The nice thing for me is seeing John there, him being right-handed, me being left-handed, it felt to me like I was looking in a mirror.
Obviously, it was very successful. So that was a way I had learned to write and it was the way I liked to write and Elvis was very happy to work like that. So it was like a repeat of that process, and so he was John, basically, and I was Paul.
I have to ask you about Chuck Berry. Obviously a massive musical hero of yours. What was he like? Did you work with him much?
I didn't work with Chuck. I met him. He came to one of our concerts when we were playing in St. Louis, his home town, and he came round backstage. It was great to meet him and just be able to tell him what a fan I was.
When I think back to being in Liverpool pre-Beatles, when we were all just kids learning the guitar with the dreams of the future, we suddenly heard this little thing, Sweet Little Sixteen. We never heard anything like that, and then when Johnny B. Goode came along, all of his fantastic songs, Maybellene. All these songs about cars, teenagers, rock 'n roll music, was just so thrilling.
Looking at the wave of tributes that followed Chuck Berry's death, do you ever wonder how are you going to be remembered?
I think you do and you put it out your mind. I don't get into it, really. I remember John once, saying to me, 'I wonder how I'll be remembered. Will they remember me well?'. And I had to reassure him. I said, 'Look at me. You are going to be so remembered, you've done so much great stuff'. But it was funny - you wouldn't think John would even have a remote bit of insecurity about it. But I think people do. Luckily, it won't matter because I won't be here.
On a more positive note, what's next?
I'm making a new album which is great fun. I'm working with a producer I first worked with two years ago on a piece of music I'm doing for an animated film. Since then, he went on to work with Beck and got album of the year with Beck. Then he went on to work with Adele and has just got song of the year, record of the year, with Adele, and just got producer of the year.
So my only worry is, people are going to go, 'Oh, there's Paul going with the flavour of the month'. But he's a great guy called Greg Kurstin and he's great to work with. So yeah, I'm at it. Beavering away, doing what I love to do. As Ringo says, 'It's what we do'.

Michael Salmon, 80, was convicted of nine indecent assaults carried out against girls at Stoke Mandeville Hospital in Buckinghamshire and two counts of rape.
Reading Crown Court heard the attacks took place between 1973 and 1988.
Judge Joanna Cutts described him as a "cold and manipulative" man.
Jailing him for a minimum of nine years, she said his conduct was a gross breach of trust, all the more horrific because they were carried out against "vulnerable children".
This was a "rare case of cold-blooded sexual exploitation against children", the judge said.
The judge also told the court what he did was with "conceited arrogance" for his own "sexual gratification".
The convictions relate to six victims, but police said more women had contacted them with allegations against Salmon since the start of the trial.
Salmon, of Salisbury, in Wiltshire, was struck off the medical register in 1991.
The consultant paediatrician thought he was "bomb-proof" because no-one would believe a child over him, the court was told.
He abused children behind a screen while their parents waited believing he was carrying out a medical examination.
On some occasions he groped the girls' breasts under the pretence of listening to their heart, the court was told.
The court also heard that in one case, Salmon took a 16-year-old girl to his home and raped her.
He then dropped her off at a bus stop to make her own way home.
Allegations about Salmon were first made to the Metropolitan Police in 2012 during investigations of historical abuse carried out by Savile and others.
Thames Valley Police, which took over the investigation into Salmon, said he claimed the allegations were "sexual fantasies".
Adrian Foster, from the Crown Prosecution Service, said: "His crimes were extremely traumatic for his victims who should have expected his support rather than this gross betrayal of their trust.
"Michael Salmon used his status to molest these vulnerable young girls and women who felt unable to complain as he was a doctor, and many of whom only bravely came forward after seeing other cases in the media."
After Salmon was found guilty, Det Sgt Malcolm Wheeler said the former doctor was a "prolific sexual offender" who "preyed on young girls".
Salmon worked at Stoke Mandeville Hospital at the same time as Savile was abusing vulnerable girls but their crimes were not said to be linked.
Savile, a volunteer porter, was said to have committed 22 offences at the hospital.
An independent inquiry was set up to look into Savile's activities and this led other women to come forward to accuse Salmon.
The company's founder, Sir James Dyson, argued vacuum cleaners were only tested when they were empty of dust.
He claimed that meant the tests misled "consumers on the real environmental impact of the machine they are buying".
In separate legal actions, the UK firm has claimed some rival vacuum cleaners are achieving misleadingly good ratings in tests.
The EU's General Court dismissed Dyson's action "in its entirety" because the company - best known for its bagless vacuum cleaner - had failed to show there were more reliable and accurate tests.
It said: "Dyson states that the regulation misleads consumers because the cleaning performance is tested only when the vacuum cleaner's receptacle is empty and not during use.
"The court acknowledges that the suction performance and energy efficiency of a vacuum cleaner with a dust-loaded receptacle will be reduced due to dust accumulation.
"It observes, however, that the [European] Commission could not use tests conducted on the basis of a dust-loaded receptacle, as they are not reliable, accurate and reproducible, as required by the regulation."
The court also dismissed Dyson's claim that current EU energy labelling laws "discriminates" in favour of bagged vacuum cleaners.
A Dyson spokeswoman said it was "deplorable" that the ECJ "endorses tests that don't attempt to represent in-home use, and we believe this is causing consumers to be misled."
The company added: "By this judgment, the ECJ has given its support to unrepresentative tests devised by the Commission with a small group of European manufacturers which in our view disregards the interests of consumers in Europe.
"The judgment is all the more surprising in view of the revelations about car testing in the VW scandal where the tests do not reflect real life usage.
"We don't believe the ECJ is acting in the interests of consumers and will continue to fight for testing and labelling, which is."
The ruling is a setback for Dyson, which last month began legal action against rivals Bosch and Siemens, alleging that they were misleading consumers in behaviour "akin to the Volkswagen scandal".
It claimed that independent testing had shown that machines made by Bosch and Siemens could draw more than 1600W of power when used in the home while containing dust, despite having a rating of 750W gained in dust-free testing.
That would mean that a rating as high as AAAA in test conditions could drop to an E or F in the home.
Last month, BSH Home Appliances, the parent company of Bosch and Siemens, said it planned to sue Dyson over the "unfounded and untrue" statements.
BSH chief executive Karsten Ottenberg said: "We have long since been aware that James Dyson has a history of taking a very aggressive approach against his competitors and has a desire to be in the public eye."
The company said all its vacuum cleaners were tested in accordance with the EU Energy Label and Ecodesign Directive for vacuum cleaners and met the standards in full.

Police were called to St Albans Road, Barnet, just after 01.00 GMT on Friday when motorists reported the horses were causing a hazard on the roads.
Police cars were used to block traffic as the horses were brought under control.
They were later returned to their home on a nearby private residence.
Insp Jamie Kay of Barnet police said: "Leading horses down a busy high street was certainly an unusual spectacle and goes to show the variety of incidents we deal with.
"Luckily, one of my officers was an equestrian expert who was able to gently coax the horses into makeshift harnesses made from water rescue ropes that we carry."
While the news came as a shock to some, statistics show more women are choosing to get pregnant later in life.
The US health department reported that in 2000, 7.4 % of women had their first child at 35 or older - by 2014 the number had risen to 9.1%.
Earlier this year, the UK's Office for National Statistics reported there were 15.2 births per 1,000 women aged over 40, compared with 14.5 per 1,000 women in their teens, in England and Wales.
But the choice to have children later in life has implications for future generations. Children maybe forced to care for their parents from a young age or parents may not be able to see their own grandchildren grow up. What is it like living in a family with a big age gap between the child and the parent?
I gave birth to my daughter when I was 45 years old. Her birth was natural without any reproductive assistance. Before I became pregnant with my oldest son, now 18, I had 5 miscarriages. You can image how surprised I was to become pregnant with my daughter at 44 years old.
There is some stigma with parents that have children later in life but on the whole it is becoming a norm to have children at a later stage in life.
My only regret might be that I will not be able to know my grandchildren as well as maybe a parent that had their children younger.
I had my fourth child at 41 and my fifth one at 42. I had my oldest when i was 20. The difference of being an older parent is that I found I was a lot calmer, and I didn't worry as much. I was much more laid back when it came to parenting.
I feel that having children when you are older definitely keeps you young and more active and still enjoying things as a younger person.
I supported my mother looking after my elderly father all through my teens and he died just before my A-levels when he was 86 and I was 18. I then spent the next 25 years looking after my mother, on and off.
I had an elderly mother to look after whilst I was also looking after my own young children and earning a living.
Whilst I adored my parents and it was wonderful knowing them so well (my father retired when I was two and was very hands on), life was stressful for them and I never had an adult to adult relationship with them.
I went straight from them looking after me to me looking after them. I would not recommend it for parents or their children.
I was a child of an older mom and dad, 43 and 48 years old respectively. I loved it. At times they were terribly old-fashioned and I wished my cousins or much older siblings were my parents. Conversely, their disconnect to my generation allowed me to be more independent and served me well as I grew up.
Their lifestyle was so different from my friends' parents that I learned so much more from them; without them explicitly teaching me anything specific. I understood recent history in a way my peers did not.
I was fortunate they lived into their 80s and they were alive for my 40th birthday. They were never my "friends" but parents should not be friends with their own kids.
Presenter Bill Turnbull has made the move and has been joined by Susanna Reid following the departure of former co-host Sian Williams.
Deputy editor Adam Bullimore, who is overseeing the launch, said viewers may see "subtle differences" over time.
"But we're not making a northern Breakfast, we're just making Breakfast," he said.
"The BBC has a job to report UK-wide and there's a commitment to bringing programmes and news from all parts of the UK, and Breakfast is part of that plan," he said.
"The tone of voice might change a bit. But it's keeping the fundamental ingredients the same. The things that have made the programme so successful in recent years will still be there."
Reid welcomed viewers to the show - which has a new red sofa and a new backdrop - at the start of Tuesday's broadcast.
Referring to a story about whether people knew their neighbours, she said: "Talking of making new friends, we are very glad you have joined us for our first morning from our new studio in Salford."
Viewers gave a mixed reaction to the new set on Twitter while some complained about the camera framing.
"Really not liking the new BBC Breakfast set - insipid waiting room backdrop. What next - lift music?" wrote Yarnsmith
.
While Helen Reed
said: "Thank God I don't have a HD TV, presenters far too close and intrusive for my living room at breakfast time."
Craig said
: "I'm not enjoying the new 'colourful' look or the tight shots of Bill and Suzanne. If I want Daybreak I'll press 3."
But Vicky Watson
said: "Really like the new #BBCBreakfast studio, very colourful", while Sam Ard
wrote: "It's @bbcbreakfast 's first broadcast from Salford, Manchester today. New studio looks kind of 80's American, I like!"
Kit Bradshaw
tweeted: "Enjoyed the new-look @BBCBreakfast from Salford's @MediaCityUK today! Nice cheery start to the day."
Breakfast is being broadcast from the MediaCityUK complex, which is also home to Match of the Day, Newsround, Football Focus, Blue Peter and 5 live.
Turnbull and Reid have been joined by Louise Minchin and Charlie Stayt on the presenting team.
Sian Williams will rejoin Radio 4 for a revamped Saturday Live programme, as well as presenting BBC One bulletins and Olympics coverage.
The studio guests for the first show included actress Connie Fisher, who is appearing in the musical Wonderful Town at the nearby Lowry Theatre.
US 'horse whisperer' Buck Brannaman, Manchester-based human rights lawyer Pete Weatherby QC and Dr David Holmes, a psychologist at Manchester Metropolitan University, also appeared.
Speaking before the launch, Adam Bullimore said he hoped the show would attract the same calibre of star guests as it did in London.
"We've had some researchers booking guests in advance of the move and the indications are that we will get talent on the sofa," he said.
The Arbroath resident, who is in her 60s, was reported missing by her family on Thursday afternoon.
Lifeboats from Arbroath, coastguard crews from Montrose, Carnoustie and St Andrews, a search and rescue helicopter from RAF Kinloss and the police have all taken part in the search.
The operation has focused on the area around the cliffs near Arbroath.
An Afghan security guard was killed in the assault in the city of Jalalabad, they said.
Police said a grenade was tossed into the compound, and a gun battle with the security forces followed after the attackers forced their way in.
Seven foreign Red Cross workers were rescued and are safe. The head of the office was injured in the attack.
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) confirmed details of the incident on its Twitter feed.
"We condemn this attack in the strongest possible terms," said Jacques de Maio, the ICRC's head of operations for South Asia.
"Right now, our thoughts go out to the family of our dead colleague."
The police chief of Nangarhar province, General Sharifullah Amin, told the BBC a grenade was tossed into the compound housing the Red Cross office.
As security guards rushed for cover, two Taliban insurgents forced their way in to the compound, firing indiscriminately.
The gun battle between security forces and the attackers lasted nearly two hours, Gen Amin said.
Local residents told the BBC that they heard a large explosion followed by gun shots in the heart of the city, close to the Iranian and Indian consulates.
The explosion was so powerful that it broke glass in shops and homes several hundred meters away.
Wednesday's assault is the second time in a week that international aid workers have been targeted in Afghanistan.
On Friday several staff at the International Organization for Migration were injured in an attack in the capital, Kabul.
The Red Cross has rarely been hit in the 12 years since the war in Afghanistan began.
It has 36 staff working in Jalalabad and is perceived as having good relations with all parties to the conflict, providing artificial limbs to the war wounded and paying visits to jailed insurgents.
"We are very concerned that the office has been attacked deliberately, knowing that the ICRC is a neutral organisation working in Afghanistan for almost three decades to provide humanitarian assistance to the victims of the armed conflict," Robin Waudo, ICRC communications coordinator, told the Associated Press.
"We have been here through the different conflicts that have happened and we are known by parties to the conflict, so we are taken aback by such an attack on our offices."
The Taliban announced a "spring offensive" in April, saying they would target foreign military bases and diplomatic areas.
At least 16 members of the security forces were killed in Taliban attacks across the country on Monday and Tuesday.
The ICRC's $90m-a-year (£60m) operation in Afghanistan is one of the organisation's largest in the world, the BBC's Bilal Sarwary reports from Kabul.

A decision would be taken after a review, he said, calling the attack an act of cyber-vandalism, not of war.
North Korea denies the attack over The Interview, which depicts the fictional killing of its leader Kim Jong-Un.
Sony cancelled the Christmas Day release after threats to cinemas. It is considering "a different platform".
In a CNN interview, President Obama described the hacking as a "very costly, very expensive" example of cyber-vandalism.
He said US officials would examine all the evidence to determine whether North Korea should be put back on the list of state sponsors of terrorism.
"I'll wait to review what the finding are," Mr Obama said, adding that he did not think the attack "was an act of war".
North Korea had been on the US list for two decades until the White House removed it in 2008, after Pyongyang agreed to full verification of its nuclear sites.
On Saturday, the US also asked China to curb North Korea's cyber-attacks.
So far there has been no response from Beijing - North Korea's main ally. North Korea's communications run through China.
The FBI said on Friday that North Korea had carried out last month's cyber-attack, in which script details and private emails were leaked.
The US defended its findings on Saturday, with US National Security spokesman Mark Stroh saying: "We are confident the North Korean government is responsible for this destructive attack."
"If the North Korean government wants to help, they can admit their culpability and compensate Sony for the damages this attack caused," he said.
The Interview features James Franco and Seth Rogen as two journalists who are granted an audience with Mr Kim. The CIA then enlists the pair to assassinate him.
The film's cancelled release drew criticism in Hollywood, with some calling it an attack on the freedom of expression.
Sony says it made the decision after most US cinemas chose not to screen the film, following the threats.
The Foxes won the Premier League for the first time having begun the season as 5,000-1 outsiders for the title.
Wales will be featuring in their first major finals for 58 years at Euro 2016 and are 80-1 to win the tournament.
"Wales do remind me of Leicester," the former Wales and Leicester midfielder told BBC Radio Wales.
Speaking on the Jason Mohammad programme, Savage added, "Leicester have changed the face of football forever by showing that with a lot of hunger, desire, work rate and team spirit, you can go a long way.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"Wales have certainly got that. If they can have Gareth Bale in form, who knows?"
Leicester won the title as Chelsea ended Tottenham Hotspur's challenge by coming from 2-0 down to seal a point at Stamford Bridge on Monday.
The Foxes' title triumph means midfielder Andy King has become the fourth Welshman to earn a Premier League winner's medal.
The 27-year-old, Leicester's longest serving player, is set to be included in Chris Coleman's Wales squad for this summer's European Championship finals in France.
Savage, who won 39 caps for Wales and played for Leicester between 1997 and 2002, sees similarities between the two current squads.
"Wales have got Gareth Bale and he's a superstar, but if you look around the team they've got very, very good players - Aaron Ramsey, Joe Allen and now Andy King a Premier League winner," Savage continued.
"They've got Ashley Williams who has been brilliant in the Premier League and around those players there's a togetherness and a team spirit I've witnessed when I've seen Leicester."
US researchers have found that they produce an antibody that attacks the malaria-causing parasite.
Injecting a form of this antibody into mice protected the animals from the disease.
The team, which published its results in the journal Science, said trials in primates and humans were now needed to fully assess the vaccine's promise.
Prof Jake Kurtis, director of the Center for International Health Research at Rhode Island Hospital, Brown University School of Medicine, said: "I think there's fairly compelling evidence that this is a bona fide vaccine candidate.
"However, it's an incredibly difficult parasite to attack. It's had millions of years of evolution to co-opt and adapt to our immune responses - it really is a formidable enemy."
Trapped inside
The study began with a group of 1,000 children in Tanzania, who had regular blood samples taken in the first years of their lives.
A small number of these children - 6% - developed a naturally acquired immunity to malaria, despite living in an area where the disease was rife.
"There are some individuals who become resistant and there are some individuals who do not become resistant," explained Prof Kurtis.
"We asked what were the specific antibodies expressed by resistant children that were not expressed by susceptible children."
The team found that an antibody produced by the immune children hits the malaria parasite at a key stage in its life-cycle.
It traps the tiny organism in red blood cells, preventing it from bursting out and spreading throughout the body.
Tests, carried out in small groups of mice, suggest this antibody could act as a potential vaccine.
Prof Kurtis said: "The survival rate was over two-fold longer if the mice were vaccinated compared with unvaccinated - and the parasitemia (the number of parasites in the blood) were up to four-fold lower in the vaccinated mice."
The team said it was encouraged by the results, but stressed more research was required.
Prof Kurtis said: "I am cautious. I've seen nothing so far in our data that would cause us to lose enthusiasm. However, it still needs to get through a monkey study and the next phase of human trials."
This latest study is one of many avenues being explored in the race to find a malaria vaccine.
The most advanced is the RTS,S vaccine, developed by GlaxoSmithKline. The drug company is seeking regulatory approval after Phase III clinical trials showed that the drug almost halved the number of malaria cases in young children and reduced by about 25% the number of malaria cases in infants.
Commenting on the research, Dr Ashley Birkett, director of the PATH Malaria Vaccine Initiative, said: "The identification of new targets on malaria parasites to support malaria vaccine development is a necessary and important endeavour.
"While these initial results are promising with respect to prevention of severe malaria, a lot more data would be needed before this could be considered a leading vaccine approach - either alone or in combination with other antigens."
The most recent figures from the World Health Organization suggest the disease killed more than 600,000 people in 2012, with 90% of these deaths occurring in sub-Saharan Africa.

Police arrested a 31-year-old man from London and a 14-year-old boy from Surrey following the attack.
At about 23:30 BST on Thursday, the victim reported being raped in a caravan in the traders' area after meeting a man and a boy in a campsite.
The pair have since been released on bail until 6 October with the condition not to return to the Reading Festival site for the rest of the weekend.
Ch Insp Dave Parker, of Thames Valley Police, said: "We take all allegations of this nature very seriously and we are conducting a full investigation."
Police said there had been 21 crimes at the festival site since Wednesday, including five alleged drugs offences and 13 suspected thefts.
Foreign ministers were seeking a common position on the Syrian conflict, before the US secretary of state flies to Russia to try to persuade it to abandon its Syrian ally.
The nations agreed there was no solution to the Syria crisis with President Assad in power.
But UK proposals to target sanctions at senior military leaders were sidelined.
The diplomacy in the Italian town of Lucca follows the latest apparent use of chemical weapons in Syria.
Syria has denied it carried out a chemical attack on the rebel-held town of Khan Sheikhoun last week that left 89 people dead.
In response, the US fired 59 cruise missiles at a Syrian airbase that it said was implicated in the attack.
Speaking after the end of the G7 meeting, US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said the missile strike "was necessary as a matter of US national security interest".
"We do not want the regime's uncontrolled stockpile of chemical weapons to fall into the hands of Isis [so-called Islamic State] or other terrorist groups who could and want to attack the United States or our allies.
"Nor can we accept the normalisation of the use of chemical weapons by other actors or countries in Syria, or elsewhere."
Mr Tillerson will head to Moscow for talks on Syria later on Tuesday, hoping to persuade the Russians that they have an unreliable ally in President Assad.
Italian foreign minister Angelino Alfano - hosting the G7 talks - said ministers wanted to engage with Russia to put pressure on President Assad, adding that "we must not push Russia into a corner".
"We think the Russians have the leverage that is needed to put pressure on Assad and to get him to observe the commitments with regard to the ceasefire," he added.
What will US achieve in Moscow - BBC's Steve Rosenberg
The fact that Rex Tillerson's visit to Moscow is happening at all is telling.
Russia reacted angrily to last week's US missile strike on Syria, condemning it as an "act of aggression". Yet Moscow is happy to host the US secretary of state. He'll meet his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov and a meeting with President Putin cannot be ruled out.
But experience shows that Moscow does not take well to threats or ultimatums.
If Mr Tillerson thinks he can weaken Moscow's support for President Assad, he may need to re-think. The Syrian president is Russia's key military ally in the Middle East. Russia has invested heavily - militarily, politically and financially - to keep him in power.
Reports on Monday quoted a senior US official as saying that the Russians knew of the chemical attack because a drone had been flying over a hospital in Khan Sheikhoun as victims sought help.
Hours later a jet bombed the hospital in what the US believed was an attempt to cover up the attack, the Associated Press agency said.
Meanwhile, US Defence Secretary James Mattis gave fresh details on the retaliatory strike against Syria's Shayrat airbase.
He said the "measured response" by the US had "resulted in the damage or destruction of fuel and ammunition sites, air defence capabilities and 20% of Syria's operational aircraft".
The Syrian military admits significant material damage but a Russian defence ministry spokesman said only six Syrian Air Force MiG-23s, plus a number of buildings, were destroyed and that only 23 of the missiles had reached Shayrat.
US missiles 'took out 20% of aircraft'
Why was Shayrat airbase bombed?
Syria has denied using any chemical agents, and Russia says the US has failed to provide evidence Syria has chemical weapons.
Russia and Iran, President Assad's key military backers, are also threatening retaliation if there are any further American air strikes, saying the US attack had crossed "red lines".
"From now on we will respond with force to any aggressor or any breach of red lines from whoever it is and America knows our ability to respond well," said a statement from a joint command centre comprising the forces of President Assad's allies.
In recent days there have been mixed messages from the US on its priorities in Syria.
Mr Tillerson said on Sunday that there had been "no change to our military posture" in Syria following the US airbase strike and that Washington's "first priority" was to defeat so-called Islamic State (IS).
Those comments came a day after the US's ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley spoke about the removal of President Assad, saying: "In no way do we see peace in that area with Assad as the head of the Syrian government."
There was further confusion on Monday. Mr Tillerson spoke in public about an interventionist approach, saying: "We rededicate ourselves to holding to account any and all who commit crimes against the innocents anywhere in the world."
Hours later, White House press secretary Sean Spicer suggested Mr Trump would act against Syria not just if it used chemical munitions.
"If you gas a baby, if you put a barrel bomb into innocent people, I think you will see a response from this president," Mr Spicer said in his daily briefing. The White House later said Mr Spicer had meant to refer to barrel bombs containing "industrial chemicals".
But Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH), said there was an "east-west" divide with numbers of the mammals at an all-time high on the west coast.
Last year only 29 were counted in the Firth of Tay and Eden Estuary.
Numbers have also dropped dramatically around Orkney and declined in the Moray Firth and Dornoch Firth.
The research was carried out by the Sea Mammal Research Unit (SMRU) at the University of St Andrews. Scientists there have been documenting the decline of harbour seals on the east coast since 2000.
In the Firth of Tay and Eden Estuary Special Area of Conservation, which was set up in part to protect the harbour seal, the population has fallen 90% in 15 years, with a decline of 75% around Orkney over the same period.
In contrast, the population of seals has risen by 60% or more in some parts of the west coast in the last six years.
John Baxter, principle marine adviser with Scottish Natural Heritage, said: "It's great to hear that harbour seal numbers on the west coast are doing so well but it's of real concern that numbers on the east coast continue to drop so dramatically.
"It's still not clear what's causing the decline but we're continuing to work with colleagues at Marine Scotland and SMRU to try to get a better understanding of what is going on."
There are two species of seal in Scotland - the harbour seal and the grey seal, but only harbour seal numbers are declining. Some conservationists blame their falling numbers on increasing competition with the larger and more numerous grey seal.
Harbour seals - also known as common seals - are found in cold and temperate waters throughout much of the northern hemisphere. Scotland is home to 36% of the European population.
Adult harbour seal males weigh about 85kg and measure about 145cm in length. Females weigh about 75kg and are about 135cm long, not much smaller than the males, in fact it is very difficult to tell the male harbour seals from female harbour seals. Grey seals are bigger than harbour seals. Adult males weigh up to 300kg and can be 200cm long, while adult females weigh up to 180kg and are about 180cm long. As well as being smaller than grey seals harbour seals have more dog like or "spaniel" appearance while grey seals have a long sloping "Roman" nose.

But the World Health Organisation says Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone are still trying to prevent it spreading.
Lots of countries and charities are trying to help stop the outbreak of the virus by sending troops, supplies and helping to build more facilities to treat people.
Chris Worrall from the charity Oxfam, has told Martin about the work they're doing to raise awareness of the virus.
Its move came shortly after a rival suitor for HRG, South Africa's Steinhoff International, withdrew from the takeover battle.
Sainsbury's cash and shares offer values HRG shares at 172.3p each.
Under UK takeover rules, both Sainsbury's and Steinhoff had been set a deadline of 17:00 GMT to make a firm offer or walk away.
The board of HRG said it had noted the announcement by Sainsbury's, and that it looked forward to working with them towards a recommendation of the offer.
In a statement, Sainsbury's chairman David Tyler said: "The UK grocery retail industry is undergoing a period of intense change in customer shopping behaviour and in the competitive environment.
"This combination with HRG presents an opportunity to accelerate our strategy, delivering compelling revenue and cost synergies.
"We will create a multi-product, multi-channel proposition with fast delivery networks that we believe will be very attractive to the customers of both businesses."
Separately, Steinhoff said on Friday that it had offered £673m ($975m) for Darty, Europe's third biggest electrical goods retailer.
That topped a rival bid from a French retailer Fnac, with the Darty board saying it would recommend the offer to shareholders.
Hospital waiting lists, mental health and abortion are some of the issues which have been left in limbo.
While the health and social care wheel keeps on turning, at what speed and how much distance it can cover depends entirely on its budget and leadership.
Northern Ireland has neither at present.
While in the run-up to the election, former health minister Michelle O'Neill published an elective care plan to tackle waiting lists, it had assigned just £31m, which was only earmarked for those waiting more than 52 weeks.
With neither a budget nor an executive in place, many saw the plan as simply academic.
The biggest problem for the health service at present is spiralling hospital waiting lists, which are growing by 1,000 people each month, on average.
Across the UK a ministerial target states that at least 95% of patients who are urgently referred with suspected cancer should begin treatment within 62 days. While the target is the same for the regions, performance varies.
In England that figure sits at 82%, Scotland 90% while in Wales around 85% of patients are seen within 62 days.
In Northern Ireland, however, the target is met in just 70% of cases.
"Recently there has been a real understanding that it's not acceptable and that we need a strategy in place in order to address this going forward," said Macmillan Cancer Support's Heather Monteverde.
"Progress was being made before Christmas but now with no government, no budget or no strategy it is extremely worrying."
Part of the problem was that unlike the other regions, Northern Ireland does not have a cancer strategy, she said.
Before the collapse of Stormont, momentum had also been gathering around tackling mental health.
Last October, the BBC revealed none of the five health trusts were meeting their waiting time target for treating people with depression and anxiety - in the past three years there has been a 76% rise in the number of cases waiting.
It is estimated that an additional 300 staff are required to meet the demand.
The Royal College of Psychiatrists told the BBC it was encouraged that the former health minister had begun her tenure making mental health a priority.
However, according to its chairman, Gerry Lynch, that momentum and sense of hope is now gone.
"There is a deep sense of frustration among psychiatrists and mental health workers because we have worked with the community and voluntary sector and because of political instability we aren't in a position to deliver," he said.
Other decisions being left in limbo include the possibility of reforming abortion law, including around fatal foetal abnormality or life-limiting conditions.
Although no decisions had been taken on making any change to the law, many say the setting up of a working group on FFA had marked a change of mood.
Before the collapse of the power-sharing government, the FFA Group's report made it onto the desks of the justice and health ministers; it had also been seen by the executive and former first minister Arlene Foster said their plan was to publish the document after it had been considered by the Executive.
Momentum on that, according to some, is now also gone.
The chairwoman of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists in NI, Carolyn Bailie, who was among those advising the group, said stalling the process was frustrating.
"Whether we go back to the power sharing executive and if that happens with a change in the balance of seats that might just impact on what happens next," she said.
"But if we go to direct rule, well I just don't know then what will happen with it all."
The state of domiciliary care is, at the very least, fragile, as are future decisions around the delivery of physiotherapy and the consultation on where exactly stroke services will be delivered.
The future role and funding of GPs is potentially in jeopardy and a minister and budget is required to sign off on all these matters.
For the sake of health and social care, few could argue that rebooting Stormont must become a priority for all of those involved in the ongoing political talks.

Hardy, who thwarted a "fleeing thief" recently, wrote on his fundraising site: "There is no bringing back those who have been lost, pointlessly, in such a cowardly and brutal fashion.
"I am truly saddened by what I have witnessed and there is no doubt that terrorism is an evil thing."
Mr Hardy added: "Terrorism is abhorrent, the killing of innocent families and children unacceptable.
"And it is with those, the innocent victims and the witnesses of this atrocity that my heartfelt concern and deepest sympathy lies."
The move follows claims by Channel 4 News that some bills were not included in local spending returns during the poll and two other by-elections.
Labour's defeated candidate in the Newark poll, which the Conservatives won, has called for an investigation.
The Conservatives say all spending was recorded in accordance with the law.
Earlier this week, Channel 4 News said it had obtained hotel bills which suggested the party broke electoral rules in the Newark, Clacton and Rochester & Strood by-elections, the first of which the Conservatives won and the other two it lost to UKIP.
Conservative MP Robert Jenrick, who won the Newark contest, told BBC News he was "very confident" his election expenses were compiled "in complete compliance with the law".
"The allegations that were on Channel 4 News are, as far as I can see, completely unfounded," he added.
Campaign spending in by-elections is limited to £100,000 for each party.
But Channel 4 News' political correspondent Michael Crick said he had uncovered £56,866.75 of undeclared hotel bills in Rochester, which would have taken the party £53,659.83 over the £100,000 limit.
The programme found bills totalling £26,786.14 in Clacton, which would have taken the party £10,835.36 over the limit, and receipts totalling £10,459.30 in Newark, which would mean an overspend of £6,650.28.
Michael Payne, who represented Labour in the Newark by-election, wrote to Nottinghamshire Police on Tuesday asking it to look into claims of "undeclared" spending by his rivals, saying he wanted reassurance that electoral laws and procedures had been complied with.
Nottinghamshire Police confirmed it had received an e-mail on the issue, adding: "This is the first communication we have received. The force will review the content of the communication, but we should make it clear that no investigation has been launched at this time."
The BBC understands that detectives in the Fraud and Financial Crimes Unit at Nottinghamshire Constabulary are handling the case.
UKIP leader Nigel Farage, whose party came second in Newark, has said the party will not make a formal complaint but he would support any complaints made by members of the public.
A Conservative spokeswoman, speaking on Wednesday, said: "All by-election spending has been correctly recorded in accordance with the law."
She shared the news on social media, saying the cartoon was a "big part of growing up".
The film will be directed by Bill Condon, who previously made Twilight: Breaking Dawn Parts 1 and 2.
The animated version of Beauty and the Beast was released in 1991.
There is currently no date set for the new film's release in cinemas.
Revealing the news, Emma said: "I'll get to dance to 'Be Our Guest' and sing 'Something There'. My six-year-old self is on the ceiling. Heart bursting."
The discovery of 15 partial skeletons is the largest single discovery of its type in Africa.
The researchers claim that the discovery will change ideas about our human ancestors.
The studies which have been published in the journal Elife also indicate that these individuals were capable of ritual behaviour.
The species, which has been named naledi, has been classified in the grouping, or genus, Homo, to which modern humans belong.
The researchers who made the find have not been able to find out how long ago these creatures lived - but the scientist who led the team, Prof Lee Berger, told BBC News that he believed they could be among the first of our kind (genus Homo) and could have lived in Africa up to three million years ago.
Like all those working in the field, he is at pains to avoid the term "missing link". Prof Berger says naledi could be thought of as a "bridge" between more primitive bipedal primates and humans.
"We'd gone in with the idea of recovering one fossil. That turned into multiple fossils. That turned into the discovery of multiple skeletons and multiple individuals.
"And so by the end of that remarkable 21-day experience, we had discovered the largest assemblage of fossil human relatives ever discovered in the history of the continent of Africa. That was an extraordinary experience."
Prof Chris Stringer of the Natural History Museum said naledi was "a very important discovery".
"What we are seeing is more and more species of creatures that suggests that nature was experimenting with how to evolve humans, thus giving rise to several different types of human-like creatures originating in parallel in different parts of Africa. Only one line eventually survived to give rise to us," he told BBC News.
I went to see the bones which are kept in a secure room at Witwatersrand University. The door to the room looks like one that would seal a bank vault. As Prof Berger turned the large lever on the door, he told me that our knowledge of very early humans is based on partial skeletons and the occasional skull.
The haul of 15 partial skeletons includes both males and females of varying ages - from infants to elderly. The discovery is unprecedented in Africa and will shed more light on how the first humans evolved.
"We are going to know everything about this species," Prof Berger told me as we walked over to the remains of H. naledi.
"We are going to know when its children were weaned, when they were born, how they developed, the speed at which they developed, the difference between males and females at every developmental stage from infancy, to childhood to teens to how they aged and how they died."
Ardipithecus ramidus (4.4 million years ago) : Fossils were discovered in Ethiopia in the 1990s. Pelvis shows adaptations to both tree climbing and upright walking.
Australopithecus afarensis (3.9 - 2.9 million years ago) : The famous "Lucy" skeleton belongs to this species of human relative. So far, fossils of this species have only been found in East Africa. Several traits in the skeleton suggest afarensis walked upright, but they may have spent some time in the trees.
Homo habilis (2.8 - 1.5 million years ago) : This human relative had a slightly larger braincase and smaller teeth than the australopithecines or older species, but retains many more primitive features such as long arms.
Homo naledi (Of unknown age, but researchers say it could be as old as three million years) : The new discovery has small, modern-looking teeth, human-like feet but more primitive fingers and a small braincase.
Homo erectus (1.9 million years - unknown) : Homo erectus had a modern body plan that was almost indistinguishable from ours. But it had a smaller brain than a modern person's combined with a more primitive face.
Homo neanderthalensis (200,000 years - 40,000 years) The Neanderthals were a side-group to modern humans, inhabiting western Eurasia before our species left Africa. They were shorter and more muscular than modern people but had slightly larger brains.
Homo sapiens (200,000 years - present) Modern humans evolved in Africa from a predecessor species known as Homo heidelbergensis. A small group of Homo sapiens left Africa 60,000 years ago and settled the rest of the world, replacing the other human species they encountered (with a small amount of interbreeding).
I was astonished to see how well preserved the bones were. The skull, teeth and feet looked as if they belonged to a human child - even though the skeleton was that of an elderly female.
Its hand looked human-like too, up to its fingers which curl around a bit like those of an ape.
Homo naledi is unlike any primitive human found in Africa. It has a tiny brain - about the size of a gorilla's and a primitive pelvis and shoulders. But it is put into the same genus as humans because of the more progressive shape of its skull, relatively small teeth, characteristic long legs and modern-looking feet.
"I saw something I thought I would never see in my career," Prof Berger told me.
"It was a moment that 25 years as a paleoanthropologist had not prepared me for."
One of the most intriguing questions raised by the find is how the remains got there.
I visited the site of the find, the Rising Star cave, an hour's drive from the university in an area known as the Cradle of Humankind. The cave leads to a narrow underground tunnel through which some of Prof Berger's team crawled in an expedition funded by the National Geographic Society.
Small women were chosen because the tunnel was so narrow. They crawled through darkness lit only by their head torches on a precarious 20 minute-long journey to find a chamber containing hundreds of bones.
Among them was Marina Elliott. She showed me the narrow entrance to the cave and then described how she felt when she first saw the chamber.
"The first time I went to the excavation site I likened it to the feeling that Howard Carter must have had when he opened Tutankhamen's tomb - that you are in a very confined space and then it opens up and all of a sudden all you can see are all these wonderful things - it was incredible," she said.
Ms Elliott and her colleagues believe that they have found a burial chamber. The Homo naledi people appear to have carried individuals deep into the cave system and deposited them in the chamber - possibly over generations.
If that is correct, it suggests naledi was capable of ritual behaviour and possibly symbolic thought - something that until now had only been associated with much later humans within the last 200,000 years.
Prof Berger said: "We are going to have to contemplate some very deep things about what it is to be human. Have we been wrong all along about this kind of behaviour that we thought was unique to modern humans?
"Did we inherit that behaviour from deep time and is it something that (the earliest humans) have always been able to do?"
Prof Berger believes that the discovery of a creature that has such a mix of modern and primitive features should make scientists rethink the definition of what it is to be human - so much so that he himself is reluctant to describe naledi as human.
Other researchers working in the field, such as Prof Stringer, believe that naledi should be described as a primitive human. But he agrees that current theories need to be re-evaluated and that we have only just scratched the surface of the rich and complex story of human evolution.

Lewis Pugh Evans from Llanbadarn Fawr, Aberystwyth, had served for 20 years with the British Army when he carried out his actions in 1917 at Zonnebeke.
The citation accompanying his medal reads "For conspicuous bravery and leadership" and goes on: "His example of cool bravery stimulated in all ranks, the highest valour and determination to win."
The medal is now among a private collection held by Lord Ashcroft, the former Conservative deputy chairman.
Its intelligence minister also repeated the charge that Western spy agencies were behind the murder this week of an Iranian nuclear scientist.
His statement comes two days before Iran is to hold talks with the US and its allies on its nuclear programme.
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called on Iran to participate in the talks in good faith.
Inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency regularly visit Iran to monitor its nuclear activities.
Some Western nations, including the US and its allies, believe Iran's nuclear programme may be aimed at producing nuclear weapons.
Iran says its nuclear activity is for peaceful, civilian purposes.
"The IAEA has been sending spies working for foreign intelligence gathering organisations among its inspectors, and it should be held accountable," Heidar Moslehi was quoted as saying by Iranian state television.
Relations between Iran and the IAEA have soured in recent months under the leadership of Yukiya Amano, who has taken a tougher line with Tehran than his predecessor, Mohamed ElBaradei.
Mr Moslehi said the killing on Monday of nuclear scientist Majid Shahriari in a car bomb attack and the wounding of another scientist in a separate attack in Tehran was the work of US, Israeli and British agents.
"This terrorist act was carried out by intelligence services such as the CIA, Mossad and the MI6," he said.
Talks in Geneva are due to start on Monday between Iran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council - the US, Russia, China, Britain and France - and Germany.
Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said he wanted the talks to go beyond his country's nuclear programme to include the "Iranian agenda". This includes Israel's widely suspected, but never declared, nuclear weapons.
Mrs Clinton urged Iran to enter the talks in good faith and with "a much more sober assessment of what isolation means", given successive rounds of UN sanctions.
The five were detained after arriving on a flight from neighbouring El Salvador on Tuesday night, police said.
Honduran special police force spokeman Anibal Baca, said they had been tipped off by Greece about the men's imminent arrival.
Greek diplomats in Honduras say none of the five speak Greek.
They were held at the international airport in the Honduran capital, Tegucigalpa.
According to Honduran police, they were planning to travel to the northern city of San Pedro Sula.
From there, they intended to cross into Guatemala and then Mexico before reaching the US border, some 2,000km (1,2000 miles) away.
"The passports were stolen in Athens," said Mr Baca from the Police Investigations Division (DPI).
"Those are not their real names. We are still trying to establish their identities," he told La Prensa newspaper.
The names on the passports are: Charalampos Kyrimopoulos, Alexandros Tzempelikos, Vasileios Bouzas, Konstantinos Marinakis and Anastasios Bellios.
Interpol will assist Honduran police with the investigation.
American politicians have expressed concern over the arrival of Middle Eastern refugees following Friday's attacks in Paris.
Republicans in the House of Representatives said they were drafting legislation to introduce tougher controls on Syrian and Iraqi refugees.
The visitors took a 16th-minute lead when Hiram Boateng's poor touch on the edge of his own box set up Erhun Oztumer to curl a left-footed shot past Kelle Roos from 20 yards.
Rovers were level on 27 minutes after a foul by Adam Chambers on Billy Bodin. It was borderline whether it was inside the box, but Matt Taylor hammered in the resulting penalty for his sixth goal of the season.
Walsall had a loud penalty appeal of their own rejected when Simeon Jackson went down under challenge from Tom Lockyer in a first half that saw fine saves from both goalkeepers.
Former Rovers loanee Etheridge did brilliantly to keep out a deflected Taylor header, while Roos smothered a close-range effort from Jackson after a superb through-ball from Oztumer.
In the second half Etheridge made more superb stops from Taylor and Bodin twice as Rovers piled on the pressure.

UKIP won 33 seats, Conservatives 18, Labour four, and independents one - 29 seats were needed for a majority.
The party tweeted: "Thanet District Council has #GonePurple. First Authority in the United Kingdom to have a #UKIP majority!"
Ex-party leader Nigel Farage said: "I am not in the least bit surprised."
Mr Farage resigned as UKIP leader after failing to gain the parliamentary seat of Thanet South, losing to Conservative candidate Craig Mackinlay.
UKIP won a 13% vote share in the General Election and one MP, Douglas Carswell, held his Clacton seat.
But speaking after the council result, Mr Farage claimed: "What you have seen here is people voting with their heart, people voting for what they wanted to vote in.
"What you didn't see in the General Election was the same thing. What you saw was fear of the SNP."
UKIP deputy leader Suzanne Evans has been nominated by Nigel Farage to take over running the party after his resignation.
After the council declaration, she tweeted: "Beyond delighted to hear #UKIP have taken control of Thanet Borough Council. Many congratulations to our new Council team."
Labour lost 22 seats on the council and now holds just four.
Labour councillor Iris Johnston said: "They came out to vote UKIP because they felt [Nigel Farage] was a leader for them. On a personal level I have never had a problem with him but he never came to see me once when I was the leader and he has never brought a penny to Thanet."
The Conservatives were hoping to increase their share of the seats from 22 to gain control of the council. Instead they lost four.
Craig Mackinlay, Conservative MP for Thanet South said: "We have now got to hold their feet to the fire on a couple of their promises - that is: to support Manston and the local plan."
It was UKIP's commitment to reopen Manston Airport that helped to secure UKIP's victory at the council elections.
The airport closed in May 2014, seven months after being bought by Stagecoach Group co-founder Ann Gloag.
A majority stake was sold to Mr Cartner and Mr Musgrave for redevelopment several months later but the nature of the sale and the true ownership of the airport was called into question by a recent Commons Transport Select Committee.
Analysis: Louise Stewart, BBC South East Political Editor
Nigel Farage stood down as party leader, at least temporarily, as he had promised to do if he didn't win his seat - but in many ways it was not a bad night for UKIP.
They increased their share of the vote and were the second party in many seats to Labour, coming third overall.
Almost 4m people voted UKIP yet they got only one MP - in Clacton - while the 1.5m people who voted SNP welcomed 56 MPs.
UKIP also took control of their first council - Thanet District Council - where they now hold 33 seats, with the Tories on 18.
So why, when clearly many people in Thanet support UKIP, did Mr Farage fail to win the Westminster seat?
The Tories put a huge effort into winning that seat with big-hitters including George Osborne, Philip Hammond and Boris Johnson all visiting. In the last days of the campaign, the prime minister promised to take every measure to save Manston airport.
The Tories took no chances when it came to South Thanet, and their decapitation strategy worked.
Thanet District Council's recent past
The notes, written in 1975 to a professor who had been hired to read to Mao, were sold at Sotheby's in London for £704,750 ($910,000).
The auction house said the manuscripts were of the "utmost rarity".
The notes relate to classical Chinese literature and poetry, something the Chinese leader was known to enjoy.
They were written the year before Mao died, as his health deteriorated.
His sight was failing and he struggled to read, so requested the presence of a literary expert to read to him.
A scholar, Di Lu, was found, and the two began meeting. But because Mao was having trouble articulating words, she asked him to write his thoughts down on a notepad to ease communication.
The notes were the product of these meetings and offered, Sotheby's said, "numerous valuable insights into Mao's thinking on literature".
Mao Zedong led the Chinese Communist Party, which defeated the Kuomintang in 1949 and founded the People's Republic of China.
As a young man he worked in Peking University Library and was known throughout his life as a keen reader and writer of classical literature, despite his revolutionary political values.
Sotheby's said the notes had been bought by a Chinese collector, after attracting interest from around the world.
Gabriel Heaton, a books and manuscripts specialist from the auction house, said they gave "an indication of Mao's cultural hinterland, of his interests far beyond politics and his deep knowledge of classical Chinese literature".
Asked why they had gone for a much higher price than the £60,000-80,000 estimate, he said manuscripts written by Mao were "exceptionally rare on the market, which makes it very difficult for us to estimate them in the first place".
Interest in items linked to Mao was strong, particularly in Asia and China, he said.
Earlier this year, a silkscreen portrait of him by Andy Warhol fetched $11m at auction in Hong Kong.
Police and BBC News were criticised after the corporation was able to send cameras to the pop star's Berkshire home as officers arrived on 14 August.
Chief Constable David Crompton told the Home Affairs Select Committee the force was put in "a very difficult position".
Sir Cliff denies an alleged historical offence of sexual assault in Sheffield.
In a letter to the MPs, Sir Cliff's solicitor Gideon Benaim said: "While there is an ongoing police investigation, we would not wish our client to become embroiled in the wider issues being considered by the committee."
BBC director general Tony Hall, director of news and current affairs James Harding and head of newsgathering Jonathan Munro also appeared before the committee
Mr Crompton said a BBC reporter, Dan Johnson, had made it very clear that a leak about the investigation had come from the Metropolitan Police's separate Operation Yewtree investigation, which is looking into allegations of historical sexual abuse.
He said the BBC made it clear that it was in a position to publish the story about the allegations against Sir Cliff.
Mr Crompton has previously said the force "reluctantly agreed" to give the reporter prior notice of the raid of Sir Cliff's apartment "in order to dissuade the corporation from publishing details of the investigation".
Mr Crompton told the MPs the subsequent coverage of the search was disproportionate and made the police's actions look heavy handed, which he regretted, but he was confident they made the right decisions in difficult circumstances.
He said he did not go to senior BBC management because he did not have faith that the story would not be published.
Mr Crompton told the committee: "We were placed in a very difficult position because of the original leak and the BBC came to us knowing everything that we knew, as far as the investigation was concerned.
"My concern was that if we showed the BBC the door, the very clear impression which had been left with my staff in the media department was that they were likely to publish the story. That would have impeded our investigation.
"I'm confident that we made the right decision in difficult and unusual circumstances."
Committee chairman Keith Vaz put it to Mr Crompton that the BBC had "blackmailed" him, but he replied: "Blackmail is a very strong word. It put us in a very difficult position."
Mr Vaz told Mr Crompton the committee had been "amazed" by "what appears to be the sheer incompetence with the way in which this matter was dealt with".
Mr Vaz referred to Mr Crompton's "failure to ring up the [Met] commissioner when you heard about Yewtree".
Mr Crompton said the police "had a job to do" but apologised to Sir Cliff "if we were insensitive about the way we did that". Mr Crompton will be recalled to appear before the committee next week.
Mr Munro told the committee the reporter "totally denies" mentioning Operation Yewtree or the Metropolitan Police as the source of the story.
He also said police sent Mr Johnson an aerial photograph of Sir Cliff's apartment to help him identify the right location.
Lord Hall said the reporter did not have the story until he went to South Yorkshire Police - and was very careful to say to his bosses at all times "is it ok to broadcast this?"
Lord Hall said: "Had the chief constable come to a news editor, head of newsgathering, James Harding, director of news or myself and said to us, 'If you run this story you will hamper this investigation, it would be damaging to this investigation,' we would not have run the story.
"I want you to be absolutely clear about that. We would not have run the story."
He said Mr Johnson went to South Yorkshire Police to discuss "a number of stories" and had a tip off from a source, which he will not reveal, referring to Sir Cliff.
Lord Hall said there was "no hint in any of that of us knowing any more than the name Cliff Richard".
Asked if the BBC was worried its coverage was disproportionate, Lord Hall replied that the "key thing" was the BBC had obtained a statement from Sir Cliff "outlining his position, which I think was extremely clear and extremely robust".
Lord Hall said this was "standard practice for BBC journalists".
Chairman Keith Vaz concluded that, as far as the committee was concerned, the BBC "have acted perfectly properly in respect of this matter".
The BBC has previously confirmed that the original leak did not come from South Yorkshire Police.
The committee was taking evidence on the police, the media and high-profile criminal investigations.
Sir Cliff was questioned under caution last month by South Yorkshire Police but not arrested or charged.
He has said the allegation of an assault at a religious event featuring US preacher Billy Graham at Bramall Lane stadium in Sheffield in 1985 is "completely false".
Marko Arnautovic scored for Stoke to claw back Liverpool's one-goal advantage from the first leg - but it was agony for Mark Hughes' side when it came to spot-kicks.
Much-criticised Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet was Liverpool's hero with saves from Peter Crouch and Marc Muniesa, allowing substitute Joe Allen to step forward to secure a meeting with either Manchester City or neighbours Everton at Wembley on 28 February.
A tight encounter was sent to penalties by Arnautovic's goal, seemingly scored from an offside position, in first-half stoppage time.
Jon Walters, Glenn Whelan, Ibrahim Affelay, Xherdan Shaqiri and Marco van Ginkel were all on target for Stoke, while Adam Lallana, Christian Benteke, Roberto Firmino, James Milner and Lucas were successful for Liverpool - before Allen settled matters to send Anfield wild in celebration.
Jurgen Klopp has endured mixed fortunes since his appointment as Liverpool manager in early October - but now he has the chance to smooth an inevitable period of transition with success.
Some may not regard the League Cup as the biggest domestic prize, but it gives the charismatic German the opportunity to cement his reputation with silverware and also give the Reds their first trophy since they won this competition under Kenny Dalglish against Cardiff City in 2012.
He would also be following the example of Jose Mourinho at Chelsea and Manuel Pellegrini at Manchester City, who each won this trophy during their first season as a manager in England.
Klopp is no stranger to Wembley having led Borussia Dortmund to Champions League final at the stadium in 2013, though they were defeated by Bundesliga rivals Bayern Munich.
Liverpool keeper Simon Mignolet has often been the villain of the piece in a season of uncertain form - but here he was the hero with vital penalty saves from Crouch and Muniesa.
The Belgian's Achilles heel is his decision-making, and there were some raised eyebrows when he was given a new five-year contract earlier this month.
Mignolet rewarded the faith of Klopp, who has been steadfast in his support of the keeper, with the most significant interventions here and will hope to build on this dramatic revival of his fortunes.
A banner fluttering in the Anfield Road End among the massed ranks of Stoke fans called on their players to summon "The Spirit Of 72" - when they secured their first and last major trophy with a League Cup final win over Chelsea at Wembley.
And for spells after Arnautovic's goal, it looked like they would get the chance to join the ranks of heroes such as Gordon Banks and George Eastham as they took the fight to Liverpool with this semi-final second leg delicately poised.
Hughes must have been almost as exhausted as his players at the painful conclusion, contesting every decision and urging his men on for 120 minutes.
Sadly for the Potters and their thousands of fans, it was not to be - but the mature performance they gave in winning at Anfield, their first victory here since 1959, was another indicator of their growing maturity despite the disappointment of defeat.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp:
"It was great, the atmosphere was special. It was a good game for my side against a difficult side to play.
"They changed their style today. It was keeper Jack Butland to Peter Crouch so it was difficult to defend. We had a few problems, but they didn't have too many opportunities.
"Their goal was double offside but, in the end, we had luck in the penalty shootout. Over the whole 120 minutes, the players, crowd and Liverpool deserved it.
"Wembley is a cool place to play football... but we go there to win. It's not much fun to lose."
Stoke manager Mark Hughes:
"I thought we were by far the better team. We were behind in the tie and I'm proud of what the players produced.
"Nobody gave us a chance - why they would do that I don't know. We've proved for a couple of years that we're a good team. I think Liverpool were delighted to go to penalties and then it's a lottery.
"We got a win on paper - goodness knows how long it's been since we won here - but the objective was to get to a Wembley final which we didn't."

James Farrelly, 52, is believed to have died following an illness which saw him granted bail from court proceedings.
Hamilton was one of Scotland's most wanted men and was nicknamed the Blackhill Butcher, after the housing estate from which he operated.
His remains were found in woods near the Five Sisters Business Park in West Lothian in December 2015.
He was released from prison in September 2014 but went missing in April last year.
James Farrelly had denied murdering Hamilton, 53, in Mosside Drive, Blackburn, between 16 April and 17 December 2015.
It was alleged that, while acting with others, Mr Farrelly shot Mr Hamilton in the head and inflicted blunt and sharp force injuries to his head.
Hamilton, from Glasgow, had been on the police's most-wanted list before he was jailed in 2000 over a string of charges including drug dealing, torture, abduction and sodomy.
Liberal Democrat MP Mr George made the comments following a meeting with Transport Minister Norman Baker.
The current service is being axed at the end of the month.
Mr Baker said millions of pounds would be spent improving St Mary's Airport as well as the harbours on the islands and in Penzance.
Mr George said he was talking to various companies to find a replacement helicopter service to start next year.
British International Helicopters (BIH) will stop its service on 31 October after running into financial problems.
The Scillonian ferry runs for only seven months a year and the only other link, Skybus, is weather-dependent.
Mr George said: "This is a time of very deep austerity. [Mr Baker] reminded me they were under budgetary pressure from the Treasury."
Marion Bennett, from Friends of Isles of Scilly Transport (FRIST), says it will cost millions to create a new helicopter service from scratch.
She is also holding a meeting with Mr Baker at the end of October.
Mrs Bennett said: "We will re-iterate the criteria required for our transport which is affordable, all year round, and reliable."
Mr George said: "I have been arguing for the past 15 years to make the case along with the Scottish islands which have substantial subsidies to assist both ferry and air services."
As well as pocketing sizeable bonuses from his F1 team Mercedes, he is also poised to take advantage on the sponsor and endorsements front.
"Winning the world championship will help catapult him into a new earnings bracket," says sports sponsorship expert Nigel Currie.
"When you win the world championship your commercial bargaining power soars compared with being just another driver."
So far the 31-year-old Rosberg has been low-key, not only when it comes to sponsorship deals, but as a potential sporting "celebrity".
In fact, so single-minded has he been in securing that elusive maiden title (he has been runner-up for the past two years), that F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone said recently "there is nothing to write about him".
From a racing perspective it has been a rollercoaster season, with Rosberg strictly focusing on taking one race at a time, an approach which is now set to pay financial, as well as sporting, dividends.
This summer Rosberg was listed 98th in Forbes' index of the world's 100 richest sports people, with estimated total annual earnings of $21m (£14.5m at June exchange rates).
But only $1m of those earnings came from endorsements, compared with the $4m his Mercedes teammate and fierce rival Lewis Hamilton made from his sponsorship deals.
Mr Currie says that like boxing, the majority of earnings for an F1 driver - even for a multiple champion like Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel or Fernando Alonso - "come at the sporting arena".
"Pay for the top drivers is very good if you perform and win, and Rosberg is one of the highest paid drivers," he says.
In fact Rosberg signed a new two-year deal with Mercedes this summer, worth a reported £18m a year.
The German will be in line for bonuses for his title win, but it is the sponsorship side of things that offers the most growth potential, in an area where he has not been overly active.
One rare partnership deal that Rosberg did have, from 2010 to 2015, was with designer watch and jewellery brand Thomas Sabo, but the driver's Monaco-based management team says this association is no longer active.
According to his managers, Rosberg has chosen so far to focus on some extra sponsorship participation with Mercedes' own list of brand partners.
This collection of 23 companies includes the likes of Puma, Bose, Hugo Boss, Tata Communications, Pirelli, Epson and UBS.
Tumi, a US manufacturer of luxury travel accessories, and which has its name on the Mercedes team cars and its members' race suits, has signed Rosberg as one of two ambassadors for the brand.
"What F1 teams do with the drivers, until they become so dominant that they can write their own cheques and sign their own deals, is that they tie them into the team sponsors," says Mr Currie.
"That is why a Formula 1 championship is so important. It is like winning one of the four golf majors, or a Grand Slam tournament in tennis. You then have that on your CV, and can start negotiating your terms."
And the more success you have, the more you can dictate your terms and do your own deals, he says.
"It is no coincidence that those F1 drivers that are well-rewarded in terms of endorsements are also ones who are multiple F1 champions."
Ian Phillips is a former director of the Jordan, Spyker and Force India F1 teams. He says Rosberg's low commercial profile to date is not accidental.
"He is very handsomely paid by Mercedes, and if you take on extra commercial activities it takes up your precious time," says Mr Phillips. "I am a firm believer that you are better to concentrate on your main job, in what is a very short career.
"If you are successful and win championships, then the best times for big commercial earnings are actually for when you stop driving," says Mr Phillips, who is now a motorsport management consultant.
"I know that is not the approach all drivers take, but Rosberg is well-managed, and this will have been a deliberate approach, one which I think has been eminently sensible."
Mr Phillips says that ironically Rosberg's father Keke, F1 world champion in 1982, was "one of the first commercial individuals" in the sport.
Now Rosberg Jr has the potential to emulate his father and strike some major deals.
Mr Currie says: "He will have been waiting for getting the right deals until after winning the championship. Everything else will have been on hold.
"But now he and his management will be exploring their options. The great thing for world champions in F1 is that they can focus on the very high-end luxury market.
"Things such as the most expensive watches in the world, potentially his own fashion range, male fragrances. Car deals can also be done, if they are done correctly.
"He won't be doing your standard, everyday, stuff. It will be aspirational, like F1. I think he will be poised now to make two or three high-end, really big deals."
England's children's champion has tried to calculate the total in a report, in the absence of overall official data.
She found some 670,000 children live in high risk family situations, thousands with parents in addiction treatment.
Children's minister Robert Goodwill said support for vulnerable children was being given across government.
But he acknowledged there was more to do.
Ms Longfield highlighted that half a million children are so vulnerable that the state has to step in with support, and 46,000 are thought to be in gangs.
Some 200,000 are judged by the local council to have experienced trauma or abuse and 119,000 children are homeless or living in insecure or unstable accommodation.
Despite widespread concern, the most recent estimate of children suffering from mental health conditions - around 800,000 - is 13 years out of date.
The children's commissioner is clear that despite its researchers' best efforts, the figures it has to draw from may contain lots of overlaps and double counting.
It is the start of a longer piece of work to clarify the scale and nature of child vulnerability and to encourage the government to collect better data and define what counts as vulnerability.
She is also clear that there will be many "invisible" children living in vulnerable situations who have not been reported to services and also because of gaps in data.
Ms Longfield says: "This report should be a wake-up call to the government and policy-makers, who have been in the dark about the level of child vulnerability for too long.
"It is shocking that half a million children need direct intervention or care from the state because they are living vulnerable lives.
"On top of that there are many hundreds of thousands of other children growing up in potentially high risk situations.
"Yet even more shocking is that this is only the tip of the iceberg.
"The actual numbers are likely to be much higher. The truth is nobody knows the exact number of vulnerable children."
The report highlights the fact that there are many different indicators used in varied ways by government departments, agencies and others, causing confusion about the scale of the problems among children.
She adds that behind the confusion are unidentified and invisible children, suffering a variety of risks and vulnerabilities.
"We can trace in minute detail the academic progress of a child from four to 18 and beyond, but when it comes to describing and assessing the scale of negative factors in a child's life which will hamper their progress, we are floundering," Ms Longfield says.
Mr Goodwill said that every single child should have their voice heard and receive the care and support that they need to realise their potential.
"Across government, we are taking action to address this issue - whether through reforming children's social care, prioritising mental health, or better protecting victims of domestic violence and abuse.
"For some of the most vulnerable, our new What Works Centre for children's social care will ensure social workers across the country are able to learn from best practice in keeping children safe.
"We recognise the scale of this challenge - and, while the number of children in need has remained relatively stable since 2010, there is always more to do.
"We will look carefully at these exploratory statistics and I am looking forward to working with the children's commissioner as this important work continues." | President Barack Obama has said the US is considering putting North Korea back on its list of terrorism sponsors after the hacking of Sony Pictures.

Mulberry said it had been expecting a "challenging year", but actual trading conditions had been tougher than forecast.
Earlier this year, Mulberry announced a radical restructuring.
Under its previous chief executive, Bruno Guillon, the company had begun trying to compete with the higher end brands, such as Prada and Fendi, a move described by analysts as "misguided".
Former boss Godfrey Davis returned to the helm in June this year and has moved the company's products back down the affordability scale, launching a new range of "Tessie" bags, developed with top model Cara Delevingne, starting at £500.
Mr Davis was previously chief executive from 2002 until his appointment as non-executive chairman during June 2012.
Mulberry's statement said the reaction to the new range had been "positive".
Mr Davis said the company remained "profitable and cash generative".
"Despite the current challenges, I am confident that we will build on Mulberry's solid foundations and unique growth," he said.
Batsman Pietersen, sacked by England in February 2014, is considering returning to English county cricket in an attempt to win an international recall.
Surrey are the favourites among the six counties who are keen on signing the 34-year-old.

"It's not more than a 10% chance he'll play for England," Vaughan told BBC Radio 5 live.
"He's had fall-outs with the coach, he's had fall-outs with the managing director, he has fallen out with Alastair Cook, the captain.
"It's a long shot, particularly with this management.
"But if there is a bit of change, if he is scoring double centuries for Surrey and England continue to play badly, that drum will be getting beaten very loud."
Pietersen, who scored 8,181 runs in 104 Tests for England, released an autobiography in October in which he criticised England players and senior England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) figures.
National selector James Whitaker said at the time that there was "no way" Pietersen would return to the England team.
However, Colin Graves, who will succeed Giles Clarke as ECB chairman in May, said in March that the selectors "can't ignore" Pietersen if he "scores a lot of runs" for a county.
Vaughan, who captained England in 51 of his 82 Tests, told Test Match Special: "The carrot has been dangled. It's a tiny carrot.
"But there's quite a bit to go between playing for Surrey again and playing for England again.
"Cricket isn't getting many column inches in England - it would get plenty if he came back.
"If I was a selector, I wouldn't rule out his return."

Pietersen has said he "absolutely" could work again with current England coach Peter Moores, despite the "irretrievable breakdown" of their relationship in 2009 which saw Pietersen quit after three games as captain.
If Pietersen, who is currently working as a broadcaster at the World Cup, is to play the full English domestic season, which starts on 19 April, he must be released from his Indian Premier League contract with Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Coach Tom Moody has approved his release, a decision which is expected to be finalised by the IPL on Wednesday.
England, who were knocked out of the World Cup in the first round, start a three-Test tour of the West Indies next month, and host New Zealand in two Tests starting on 21 May.
Since being sacked by England, Pietersen has had stints in the Australian Big Bash and Caribbean Premier League, but has not played domestic first-class cricket since June 2013.
As well as his £205,000 contract with Hyderabad, he is again scheduled to play for St Lucia Zouks in the Caribbean Premier League in June and July.
Turkington has a strong history with the team after winning the BTCC title in 2009 and 2014 with WSR, as well as making his debut with the team in 2002.
The Portadown driver split from his BMR team at the beginning of the year.
"It feels fantastic to re-join WSR for the 2017 season and I couldn't be more excited about my return," he said.
As well as two BTCC titles, the 34-year-old has 30 race victories with the team and has collected four Independant Title championships.
Turkington added: "From my debut in touring cars in 2002 right through to winning my second BTCC title, it's been like a second family for me and my greatest achievements in motor racing have all been shared with them.
"I'm confident our rear wheel expertise and shared work ethic will be a successful formula and allow us to fight for honours once more."
WSR boss Dick Bennetts said, "Colin, no doubt, is one of the fastest and most consistent drivers in the BTCC, we are looking forward to getting him back in the car and hitting the track."
Turkington finished fourth in the overall standings last year, taking an impressive five race wins.
WSR collected both the Manufacturers and Teams championship, meaning that Turkington and WSR will be looking to continue one of the BTCC's most successful partnerships.
"They are novices at playing the moving ball," Boycott said on BBC Test Match Special. "It was an embarrassing day for Australia.
"Their batting was as pathetic as it was in the first innings."
Boycott said Australia captain Michael Clarke is "under the cosh" and "lucky to be averaging 18".
Clarke was caught at slip off Steven Finn for three and has just 94 runs in six innings in this series.
Boycott also criticised Australia's bowling, saying he was "amazed at how badly" Mitchell Starc had bowled.
Starc took nine wickets in the first two Tests of this series but was largely ineffective in taking 2-71 in England's innings at Edgbaston.
"He had no discipline or direction. It was wild and wayward and down the leg side," Boycott said.

Boycott praised England's Steven Finn, who took 5-45, saying he "bowled some really good balls".
Finn told BBC Radio 5 live he was "in a good place".
He added: "There were lots of hurdles to overcome. Now I'm just running up and bowling, thinking about what the ball's doing. It took a while to unravel it all, but no-one goes through their career without going through ups and downs.
"I've had a down and this day is certainly an up. I'd rather think about today than the past. To do it in an Ashes Test means a whole lot more."
Finn also defended former England coach Ashley Giles, who was criticised on Twitter for having described Finn as "unselectable" in January 2014.
"I don't think it was meant in a derogatory way," Finn said. "He was talking about how I couldn't have been picked to go out there and do a job for England in a one-day international in that series."
Giles also defended his comments on 5 live, saying: "He was clearly in a bad place and the best thing to do was send him home. He actually was unselectable.
"No-one wanted Steve around more than me. He was one of our key performers but he was a shadow of his former self at that time."
After an Australian Open in which the 19-year-old Canadian unexpectedly reached the semi-final, there is as much debate about her career off the court as on it.
Her appearance and composure, not to forget tennis talent, have seen her touted as the next Maria Sharapova, the world's highest-paid female athlete, and four times Grand Slam winner.
The teenager's agent, Sam Duvall, says the player known as "Genie" has the personality, game and looks to surpass the Russian's commercial success.
And the global boss of the women's tennis circuit agrees about the financial potential.
"She is an incredibly talented athlete, and a very marketable brand ambassador for any company that wants to get involved with her," Stacey Allaster, chief executive of the Women's Tennis Association (WTA), tells the BBC business website.
"I do believe that with her winning form and continued success that many brands will look to Genie for partnerships."
At present Bouchard has only a handful of brand associations, mostly tennis equipment-related, albeit of a high-profile nature.
Last year Nike asked Maria Sharapova which other WTA player she wanted to wear the clothing line she had designed for the firm, and the Russian chose Genie.
Ms Allaster says her fellow Canadian's attributes - "gracious, humble, confident, smart and funny, she is the whole package" - make Bouchard an ideal fit for partnerships in marketing "categories that play well for our athletes" such as:
Bouchard shot up from 31st spot to enter the top 20 in the WTA rankings for the first time this week, in 19th place. This time a year ago she was ranked 137th.
"One of the exciting things of my job is to see the juxtaposition between established stars such as Serena [Williams], Maria [Sharapova], Li Na, and the rising stars such as Genie, Madison Keys, Sloane Stephens, Taylor Townsend - without question they will be the future faces of the WTA," says Ms Allaster.
"It is nice to see her stepping forward on the Grand Slam stage, where we have the most fan interest and maximum media exposure, with both groups now set to follow Genie on to future events."
One of the features of the Australian Open, was the self-styled Genie Army of Australian young, mostly male fans, who attended her games decked out in the red and white of Canada, and showered her with presents of cuddly toys.
During the Australian Open, Bouchard also added some 100,000 new "likes" to her Facebook page, taking that total to 243,000. In addition she has 107,000 followers on Twitter.
"Genie is giving something back, interacting with fans," says Allaster. "That is why she is going to be a massive success.
"And the Genie Army is going to continue throughout the rest of the year.
"It is great for women's tennis as a whole, because it is all about the fans - we are only in business because of the fans."
When she was 12, Bouchard was the recipient of the Stacey Allaster Tennis Scholarship, set up when the tennis administrator moved from Tennis Canada to the helm of WTA.
"I said to her then I wanted to see another Canadian on the tour, and even then at that young age she assured me that she was going to be be on it," Ms Allaster says.
She adds that when the WTA signed a new three-year partnership deal with Usana sporting supplements in October 2013, the firm asked for Bouchard to be one of the brand ambassadors, even before her breakthrough success in Australia.
One sports marketing expert believes more commercial opportunities will soon by spinning Bouchard's way.
"There is not a huge pool of female sporting talent in the world which is globally recognised," says Nigel Currie, of agency Brand Rapport.
"There is a big of a void in that area. Anyone who can get into the top two or three tennis players is of appeal."
He also believes Bouchard has the talent to back up the image, unlike 1990s icon Anna Kournikova, whose commercial deals and celebrity status were never matched by her winning a WTA singles title.
"I think things are different now, brands want to be associated with winning athletes, and there is no doubt that Bouchard has playing ability," says Mr Currie.
And according to WTA chairman and chief executive Ms Allaster, Bouchard also has one very important attribute for a modern sports star.
"She is very marketing-savvy."
Manbij is the second largest town in the northern province of Aleppo and is situated close to the River Euphrates and the Turkish border.
For two-and-a-half years, foreign jihadists travelling into and out of Syria passed through the town, which sits on the main road linking the de facto IS capital of Raqqa to Turkey. The road was also used by the group to smuggle weapons and goods.
The Kurdish-led SDF could have retaken Manbij in early June, when its fighters encircled the town, but concern over the fate of its civilian population prevented them from advancing rapidly.
For weeks, SDF commanders negotiated with IS militants in Manbij in an effort to persuade them to leave, to avoid civilian casualties and damage to infrastructure.
The militants agreed, but on the condition that they were allowed to take their heavy weapons with them. The SDF rejected the demand and last week launched a final assault on the town.
The militants eventually resorted to using 2,000 civilians as human shields to ensure they could escape.
SDF fighters could only watch from a distance as the jihadists left Manbij in a 500-vehicle convoy and headed for the nearby IS-held town of al-Bab.
Though successful, the retreat will damage the reputation of IS among its sympathisers.
Victory in Manbij was made possible by a combination of motivated and well-organised SDF fighters and effective US-led coalition air strikes guided by Western special forces personnel on the ground.
The formula will likely also be used by the coalition and its allies to take other IS-held areas, particularly Raqqa, which the US wants the Kurds to have as their next objective.
If the SDF is able to capture Raqqa, it would be a significant and symbolic victory for the coalition. It might also boost the Democratic Party's chances in the US presidential election in November, by showing that Barack Obama's policy is working without putting American boots on the ground.
But Raqqa is not a Kurdish city and the Kurds have other priorities.
In a clear indication of the direction in which they want to move, SDF commanders announced the establishment of the al-Bab Military Council soon after capturing Manbij.
Al-Bab, 50km (30 miles) south-west of Manbij, and Jarablus, 30km (18 miles) to the north, are the last two large towns near the Turkish border still controlled by IS. If they fall, jihadists will no longer be able to enter or leave Syria via its northern neighbour.
By capturing al-Bab, the Kurds would also connect the western canton of Afrin to the rest of the region they call "Rojava", or "Western Kurdistan".
The SDF's priority is therefore to continue their advance from Manbij south-westwards along the M4 motorway to al-Bab, and not south-eastwards towards Raqqa, as the Americans want.
Turkey's government is also opposed to the SDF pushing westwards, and has declared the 100km (60 mile) stretch of border from Jarablus to Azaz, a rebel-held town close to Afrin, a no-go zone for the Kurds.
Ankara sees no distinction between the Kurdish Popular Protection Units (YPG) - whose 25,000 fighters dominate the SDF's 30,000-strong force - and the Turkish Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), which it considers a terrorist organisation.
While they have also designated the PKK a terrorist group, the US and other Western countries view the Syrian Kurds as their allies and the most effective force against IS on the ground in Syria.
The UK government will halve bridge tolls in 2018 - they went up to £6.70 for cars on New Year's Day.
Property prices have been rising in south east Wales as Bristol workers "capitalise" on lower house prices in Monmouthshire before the tolls reduce.
But there is a warning lower tolls may hit shops and firms near the border.
There is widespread public approval of a reduction in the bridge tolls when it returns to public ownership next year and all assembly parties and local Welsh councils want tolls scrapped altogether but it's a "wake-up" Chepstow's High Street traders.
Retailers have been reminded lower bridge fees would make the Cribbs Causeway retail park 20 minutes drive away in Bristol - which is to expand by 50% and include a new shops and an indoor ski centre - "easier accessible and more tempting".
Businesses in Chepstow, a town which has expanded since the first bridge landed on its outskirts in 1966, should be "concerned" workers may be able to find higher paid jobs in the booming Bristol market once the "subconscious toll bridge barrier" is removed.
Bristol is the UK's fastest growing economy outside of London and its house prices are the fastest growing in the country so Chepstow is starting to become Bristol's overspill.
Local estate agent figures show 80% of house buyers in south Monmouthshire are from Bristol.
They say the promised bridge toll reduction is already having an affect with commuters from the other side of the River Severn already looking for a cheaper option to Bristol's expensive property market.
But the warning for Monmouthshire is unintentional gentrification and freezing out local residents who may not be able to afford the inflated house prices.
"The only people who soon won't be able to compete with the prices in Monmouthshire are the locals," said Charlie Heaven, owner of Crown Estate Agents.
"Southern Monmouthshire is fast becoming a commuter belt for Bristol. Houses are in huge demand. In fact, there aren't enough houses."
Monmouthshire council's planning department has more than 1,000 new homes in the south of the county on its desk, with major sites at Chepstow's old dockyard and near its hospital as well as a big development in Undy.
In eastern Newport, near the proposed M4 relief road route, a 4,000-home development on the old Llanwern steelworks site has started.
Monmouthshire has the highest weekly average wage in Wales but statistics show most actually work outside of the county - and according to the 2011 census, 20% of Chepstow's commuters work in the Bristol area.
"It's such an accessible area for Bristol, London and obviously south Wales," added Mr Heaven.
"And add to that the beautiful countryside, houses in south Monmouthshire aren't staying on the market long these days."
Mr Heaven also gave an example of medical migration that is also appealing to some potential house buyers.
"One client had £200 worth of prescriptions in England," he said. "But in Wales, they'd be free. That's a big potential saving when the bridge toll is halved."
Chepstow is less than 15 miles on motorways from the 130 stores at the Cribbs Causeway shopping development - and that mall is expected to become one of Britain's top 10 biggest malls by 2021.
And while shoppers in Chepstow seem to universally welcome easier - and cheaper - access to an expanded Cribbs Causeway, the town's small High Street has been warned to "help themselves survive".
Yet Chepstow retail's future "needs help" as with the Valuation Office Agency's recent rate revaluation has hit Monmouthshire hard as the county is looking at an overall 11% hike, the highest in Wales.
"It is a mistake to think Chepstow can go head to head with Cribbs Causeway," said councillor Armand Watts, who runs a hairdressers in the town.
"We need niche shops and sell ourselves as being something different rather than being some homogenized shopping mall where you can see anywhere across the country."
Mike Lewis, of Chepstow's Chamber of Trade, thinks a bridge toll reduction coupled with a proposed £300m expansion of Cribbs Causeway - with a new anchor store and indoor ski slope - should spark Chepstow's traders into a fight for their retail survival.
"That will have an impact on Chepstow and is a wake up call," he said.
"We all need to work together to make us more attractive. An expanded Cribbs will be a big temptation for shoppers. We need to keep people in the town. We can't let Chepstow die.
"But we need a little help to diversify as if the rate reviews are hiked to the ridiculous levels that are threatened, with Cribbs on our doorstep, it's ridiculous to think all traders can survive."
Monmouthshire council has already called on the Welsh Government to intervene in the rate review row as some traders claim they face increases of up to 200-300%.
Even the temptation of being able to cut his £15,000 budget for bridge tolls is not enough for one of Chepstow's construction companies to impulsively welcome a reduction in the Severn tolls.
Christopher Rowell, managing director of Architen Landrell construction firm, fears he could lose some of his 12 staff to higher paid jobs in the booming Bristol economy if the "subconscious barrier" of the Severn tolls are reduced.
"My concern, especially if they completely scrap the tolls, is there will be a gap in salaries paid here in Chepstow and the wage they could earn in the Bristol market," he said.
"And that would be the worry for many businesses in this area, there could be a brain drain towards Bristol and so Chepstow's people money is, subsequently, more likely to be spent over the bridge.
"The flip side to all that is that companies that are currently based in Bristol and on Severnside, might look to Wales and see the lower rates, lower rent and lower wages and decide to relocate to an M4/M48 corridor that all of a sudden looks more attractive."
Mr Rowell's family company designed the roof for London 2012's Olympic swimming pool and centrepiece structures for the worldwide stadium tours of rock bands U2 and Rolling Stones.
"Clearly a toll reduction would instantly make savings to our costs," he added.
"But I can see some disadvantages to our local economy in Chepstow for retailers and industry when the subconscious barrier of the tolls have been reduced.
Chepstow, home to one of Britain's oldest stone castles and once a strategic Roman crossing point across the River Wye, was once regarded as the entrance to south Wales.
But it is still the biggest town in south Monmouthshire and home to a hospital that serves the southern half of the county's 92,000 inhabitants.
"It doesn't just need more houses but much better infrastructure," said local councillor Armand Watts.
"Chepstow Hospital must improve the services it provides, like having an A&E or minor injuries unit.
"We don't have enough schools to cope with the forecasted local development plan. And we need better access as Chepstow is already busy and a bypass has been talked about for about 20 years."
Ms Watts insisted Chepstow's four doctor's surgeries - two on the Welsh side and two on the English side - are "reaching capacity".
"Superfast broadband and improved mobile phone coverage is also essential," she added.
"If we want to be a county fit for the 21st Century, these are just the basics. We're still a little bit in the dark ages."
Mr Bhasin was speaking to Middlesbrough fans online ahead of his visit for the club's game against Bournemouth when a Twitter user sent the abusive message.
Cleveland Police said the boy, 14, admitted the offence and received a police caution.
It is also believed Middlesbrough FC has revoked his season ticket.
After the tweet was sent, fans quickly condemned the comment. The account has since been deleted.
The gathering, outside the cathedral in St Philip's Square, included speeches from leaders of different faiths.
The Right Reverend David Urquhart said it was for "people of all faiths and none to join together in solidarity and reflection".
A minute's silence was also held as part of the ceremony.
The bishop said: "At times like this, the different faiths in Birmingham are able to show that we are united in our condemnation of these attacks and in our determination not to let events like this damage the good relations we have here in Birmingham."
Landmarks across the UK, including the Library of Birmingham, were illuminated in the colours of the French flag on Saturday night as a gesture of solidarity with those affected.
The 2007 Booker Prize shortlisted novel by Ian McEwan is set in 1962 and tells the story of young newly-weds on honeymoon on the Dorset coast.
Ronan - up for the best actress Oscar for Brooklyn - will play the young wife Florence but her co-star, playing her husband Edward, is yet to be announced.
The film will be Ronan's second McEwan adaptation after 2007's Atonement.
Atonement, which also starred Keira Knightley and James McAvoy, won Ronan her first Oscar nomination and was directed by Joe Wright.
She was up for best supporting actress for playing the little Briony Tallis whose misunderstanding of a situation she unwittingly witnesses leads to the tragic events that drive the story on.
On Chesil Beach will be led by the theatre director Dominic Cooke, who was formerly the artistic director of London's Royal Court theatre.
And the production company will be Number 9 Films, the team behind the award-winning Carol, whose star Cate Blanchett and co-star Rooney Mara are also in the running for best actress and best supporting actress Academy Awards.
Producers Elizabeth Karlsen and Stephen Woolley said of their new project: "It's an extremely exciting prospect to be reunited with Saoirse Ronan on such a beautiful and heartbreaking project."
Ronan previously worked with the production company on the 2012 film Byzantium, a drama also set in a remote coastal location.
McEwan's story, which some class as a novella since it is only just over 200 pages long, is set on the laconic beach of the title, where Florence and Edward are staying in a modest hotel.
Chesil Beach, a real and well-known location, is famous for its 18-mile length, of which much is separated from the mainland by a sea-salt lagoon, and the special quality of its stones.
This is the first time McEwan's story has been adapted for the screen. The same is true of Brooklyn, which is a film taken from a novel by Irish author Colm Toibin.
Filming for On Chesil Beach will begin this autumn.
Before then, Ronan will next be seen on stage in The Crucible on Broadway from 1 March.
I simply couldn't resist it after the announcement from the Office of the Gambian President that another title was being added to the already absurd long list of titles held by the president. According to an official release, the Gambian leader will now be known formally as "His Excellency Sheikh Professor Alhaji Dr Yahya AJJ Jammeh Babili Mansa".
Babili Mansa, we are told, means Bridge Builder, or Conqueror of Rivers, in the Mandika language. Since the figurative building of bridges or making peace is not one of President Jammeh's known characteristics, I take it that it is more the Conqueror of Rivers that the new title of Babili Mansa is meant to indicate.
The President of the Republic of the Gambia, Commander in Chief, Sheikh, Professor Alhaji Dr etc etc Yahya AJJ Jammeh might think he is treading new ground; but unfortunately, we have seen it all before.
The practice of acquiring a long list of titles started with our earliest presidents as soon as independence came.
That, after all, is how our traditional chiefs are addressed and the new presidents saw themselves as big chiefs - that probably explains why they couldn't come to terms with term limits and wanted to be presidents for life.
Exactly why the title of "Dr" had to be an obligatory part of that list, I haven't worked out.
Ghana was the first sub-Saharan country to gain independence and our first president got himself suitably impressive titles, with the obligatory unearned "Dr" and with that started the practice.
He was addressed: Osagyefo, (a chief's title, said to mean Redeemer) Dr Kwame Nkrumah - Life President of the Republic of Ghana. The Life President bit was aborted when he was overthrown in a coup d'etat.
The sergeant-major-turned-president of Zaire, now Democratic Republic of Congo, Joseph Mobutu, took the trend a scale higher. He became Mobutu Sese Seko Kuku Ngbendu Waza Banga, meaning The Warrior who Goes from Conquest to Conquest Leaving Fire in his Wake.
Those of us of a certain age can recall that there used to be His Excellency the President, Ngwazi Dr Hastings Kamuzu Banda-Life President of the Republic of Malawi. If you missed out a comma, you got into serious trouble.
Again, the Life President bit turned out to have been over-optimistic because he was forced out of State House before he died.
Then of course there was a certain embarrassment in Uganda; he had to be called: Field Marshall Dr Idi Amin Dada MC DSO CBE (Conqueror of the British Empire)-Life President of Uganda.
Once more, the Life President bit turned out to have been optimistic and he was chased out, much to the relief of everybody in 1979.
In Zimbabwe, state TV refers to: His Excellency, The President, Robert Gabriel Mugabe and Commander-in-Chief of the Zimbabwe Defence Forces.
But at social events, ministers often add: Patron of War Veterans, First Secretary of the Party and Chancellor of State Universities.
And even: Supreme Leader, First Citizen of the Nation, Honorary Black Belt and Professor of Diplomacy.
He remains in post at the age of 91 and continues to befuddle all his opponents.
The obsession with titles as I have pondered in previous columns, is not reserved for only our leaders, it seems to be an African disease. Or so I thought until a friend of mine pointed out to me recently that it is not unlikely that it is something that we inherited from the British colonialists.
Indeed who else has all these Sirs, Dukes, Duchess, Baroness, Viscounts, OBEs, CBEs etc etc? We have probably simply been trying to emulate them.
The official full title of the Head of State from which we got our independence is: Her Majesty, "Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of Her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith".
Try matching that! The Bridge Builder or even Conqueror of Rivers doesn't quite have the same ring to it.

Arnaud Montebourg had publicly urged President Hollande's government to end austerity policies and focus on growth.
He was backed by Education Minister Benoit Hamon and Culture Minister Aurelie Filippetti.
Prime Minister Manuel Valls accused Mr Montebourg of crossing "a yellow line" and announced the resignation of his entire cabinet.
The move had apparently been agreed with President Francois Hollande, who immediately asked him to form a new government on Tuesday "consistent with the direction" he had set for the country.
France is struggling with high unemployment and low growth and President Francois Hollande's popularity is the lowest for a president in more than 50 years.
Mr Montebourg told a news conference later on Monday he thought it necessary to speak out to try to avert the European Union's "descent into hell".
"I informed the prime minister.... that if he deemed my convictions counter to the direction of the government he leads, then in that case I thought it necessary for me to be let go."
Mr Hamon and Ms Filippetti had made the same choice, he added.
Hollande purges rebels - Lucy Williamson, BBC News, Paris
Francois Hollande is sending a clear message: dissenters within the party will not be tolerated at this difficult economic moment.
But the decision to dissolve the government is also a sign of how much is at stake for him.
With unemployment running at more than 10%, growth stagnant, and polls suggesting that less than 20% of voters think he can turn the economy around, Mr Hollande is facing a difficult autumn.
His plan has been to cut spending in order to fund tax cuts for business, in the hope of boosting the economy, but there are those in his party who disagree.
They want less focus on austerity, and more money funnelled direct to households. Purging the rebels is an eye-catching move, but with his popularity at an all-time low, Mr Hollande cannot afford to look weak.
Mr Montebourg, 51, is on the left wing of the governing Socialist party, and has campaigned against globalisation.
He came third in the party's contest for presidential candidate in 2011.
He told Le Monde newspaper that Germany was trapped in an austerity policy that it had imposed across Europe and spoke at a meeting with Mr Hamon in eastern France on Sunday, with the support of Culture Minister Aurelie Filippetti.
Mr Hamon called on Sunday for a revival in demand, and for an end to German Chancellor Angela Merkel setting Europe's direction.
Manuel Valls became prime minister in March, replacing Jean-Marc Ayrault, after a poor performance by President Hollande's Socialist party in local elections.
Earlier this month the French government admitted it would be impossible to reach a previous growth forecast of 1%.
Germany saw its economy shrink by 0.2% between April and June.
Mr Hollande's political opponents have been quick to round on the president:
Mr Hollande's poll ratings have sunk to 17%, while Mr Valls' have dropped to 36%, according to an Ifop poll published on Sunday.
The city council voted in favour of a Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) - a type of power aimed at tackling anti-social behaviour.
The authority said the ban would stop people from using "intoxicating substances" in the city centre.
Lincolnshire Police welcomed the ban, which is due to start in April, but said it did not go far enough.
Council leader Ric Metcalfe said: "The council has recognised there is a problem relating to street drinking and the use of new psychoactive substances and welcomes the reform of anti-social behaviour powers.
"We want our city centre to be a safe and welcoming place for residents and visitors alike."
The council said it would work with police to produce an enforcement plan to support the order.
In 2014, police recorded 820 incidents in Lincolnshire where the term "legal highs" was logged.
Insp Pat Coates, neighbourhood policing inspector for Lincoln city centre, said he fully supported the council's action but he believed the measures did not go far enough.
"It tackles the on-street problem of legal high usage and the anti-social behaviour that we've seen as a consequence of that," he said.
"We would like to see better legislation to enable us to deal with the actual sellers."
The Centre for Social Justice (CJS) is also calling for action to tackle the suppliers of legal highs.
It wants new police powers to close shops that persist in selling them.
The exclusion zone covers a large part of central Lincoln, including the city's football ground, cathedral and shopping areas.
Drax Group, which runs the UK's largest power station in Selby, said the acquisition will create Britain's fifth biggest non-domestic energy retailer.
The company, which also announced the purchase of four gas turbine projects for £18.5m, is looking to move away from its coal burning legacy.
The announcement saw its shares rise by as much as 20%.
More stories from North Yorkshire
Drax wants to switch to direct energy supply and back-up power given that its station in North Yorkshire faces an uncertain future with coal plants forced to close by 2025.
Half of the plant has been converted to run on biomass, but the Government has not supported the conversion of the remaining coal units.
CEO of the Drax Group Dorothy Thompson said: "These initiatives mark an important step in delivering our strategy, contributing to stronger, more predictable, long-term, financial performance through greater diversification of the businesses, delivering more opportunities right across the markets in which we operate."
Gas and electricity supplier Opus Energy is the biggest provider to the business market, outside of the "Big Six" energy firms.
It was founded in 2002 and has around 870 staff across offices in Northampton, Oxford and Cardiff.
However, while Drax said the announcements would boost its future financial performance, it warned 2016 underlying earnings would be around the bottom end of City forecasts.
Energy experts at Jefferies said the moves signalled a "reinvention" for Drax.
A spokesman said: "This is the first time that the company is making a step into the small and medium-sized business retail market, therefore it remains to be seen whether Drax has the necessary expertise to manage this successfully."
He is alleged to have "misled the court" during the drugs trial, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said.
Mr Mahmood said in a statement that he denied the offence and would "vigorously contest it at court".
He has been charged alongside Alan Smith, who was his driver.
Former News of the World reporter Mr Mahmood, who often posed as a sheikh during his investigations, claims to have helped put more than 100 criminals behind bars during his 25-year career.
Nick Vamos, of the CPS, said: "After carefully considering all of the evidence the CPS has decided that there is sufficient evidence for a realistic prospect of conviction and it is in the public interest to charge both men.
"This decision comes after it was alleged that Mr Smith agreed with Mr Mahmood to change his statement to police as part of a trial in July 2014, and that Mr Mahmood then misled the court."
Former N-Dubz singer Miss Contostavlos, 27, had gone on trial at Southwark Crown Court charged with supplying a class A drug, which she denied, after it was alleged she had brokered a cocaine deal.
It had featured in a Sun on Sunday story in June 2013, following an investigation by Mr Mahmood.
A judge threw out the case last July and also cleared Miss Contostavlos's friend Michael Coombs, known as Mike GLC.
Following the collapse of the trial, she said she had "never dealt drugs" and "never been involved in taking or dealing cocaine".
In a statement issued by his lawyers, Mr Mahmood said: "I am deeply disappointed that, after a totally unjustified delay, the Crown Prosecution Service have today informed me that they have decided to charge me with conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.
"I deny the offence. I will vigorously contest it at court. In the meantime I have nothing further to say."
Mr Mahmood and Mr Smith will appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on 30 October.

The 5th-8th place play-off game ended 1-1 with Hugo Genestet putting France ahead before Shane O'Donoghue levelled with a third-quarter penalty stroke.
Davy Harte saved twice as Ireland won the shootout 4-3.
Ireland face New Zealand in the 5th-6th place play-off - fifth guarantees a World Cup finals spot with sixth highly likely to also be enough to qualify.
France struck first in Friday's match in Johannesburg with Genestet netting in the first quarter after a penalty corner was blocked.
O'Donoghue equalised and both teams had chances to clinch a winner in the closing stages.
It went to penalties and the first six were converted. There was drama when Eugene Magee, who was second up for Ireland, was obstructed by the keeper and O'Donoghue stepped up to fire in the resulting penalty stroke.
O'Donoghue was unable to score from his penalty effort, but Harte kept out two France penalties and it was left to Chris Cargo to score the winner for Ireland.
Ireland will have little time to rest as they face New Zealand on Saturday with the victors going straight into next year's World Cup finals in London.
With winners from other worldwide tournaments also qualifying, it should open the way for the side finishing sixth to secure a spot in England.

Warrington Borough Council said Birch Court had been issued with a default notice and ordered to improve following a routine visit.
It criticised staffing levels, "institutionalised practice" and said "basic needs" were not being met.
An improvement plan has been put in place, the council said.
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) recently inspected Birch Court and a report is due to be published.
The council said it expected the report to state the home was "breaching a number of their regulations".
Assistant Director for Quality Assurance at the council, Ann McCormack, wrote in an internal email seen by the BBC: "All this together demonstrates that Birch Court is not meeting our contract standards and is therefore in default."
"This means that we will be suspending admissions, paying a reduced fee to Birch Court for residents currently placed there."
A council spokesperson said: "The council will be working closely with the Care Quality Commission to ensure that the care home complies with the relevant health and social care act regulations."
The council will also be supporting residents and families during this period, they added.
Birch Court is run by private health firm Bupa and provides nursing, convalescence, palliative and respite care, as well as nursing or residential care for those living with dementia.
The home was rated as 'good' in a report by the CQC in June this year.
Bupa said the problems are isolated to one unit, adding: "We are absolutely committed to making the required changes highlighted in the recent CQC report, which are isolated to one unit."
"We have acted immediately to ensure we meet the high standards of care that we expect - putting additional training in place for staff, reviewing our medication management process and all residents' care plans."
The 30-year-old Scot, Andy Murray's older brother, will take top spot in the doubles rankings on Monday, 4 April, replacing Brazil's Marcelo Melo.
Murray will be the first British world number one since Virginia Wade achieved the honour in doubles in 1973.
However, no Briton has previously topped the computer rankings introduced by the ATP and WTA during the 1970s.

Murray gained his first Grand Slam men's doubles title in January, winning the Australian Open alongside Brazilian partner Bruno Soares.
Melo has relinquished his world number one spot after losing at the Miami Open on Sunday.
The Brazilian's failure to reach the quarter-finals means he will drop enough points to fall behind Murray, even though the Briton had already been eliminated from the tournament.
"Last night I went to bed wondering if that was the closest I would ever get," wrote Murray on Instagram. "Today driving in the car my phone started to go crazy. #1"
After losing his top ranking, Melo said: "He really deserves it. He made the final in Wimbledon, final US Open, won the Davis Cup, won the Australian Open, so he deserves it a lot. I'm happy for him."
Computerised rankings were introduced by the ATP for singles in 1973 and for doubles in 1976. The WTA introduced computer rankings for singles in 1975 and doubles in 1984.
Before that, world rankings were compiled by leading tennis journalists and issued annually. Fred Perry topped the men's world rankings in the 1930s under this system, while fellow Briton Angela Mortimer was the women's singles number one in 1961.
But among the selfies, smiles and proud-as-punch parents, there's an air of uncertainty as these European citizens prepare for the working world.
Vladislavs Ignatjevs, from Latvia, imagined he would begin his career in Dundee, but now the 23-year-old is not so sure.

BBC Scotland took to the streets of towns and cities across the country to find out what people feel about the decision to leave the EU.
Computer games programmer Thomas Kronberg, 36, said: "It's terrifying, because I've been living in Scotland for the last 10 years and I came over from Germany to work in the games industry.
"Suddenly, overnight, it feels like my whole future in this country is in question. It's a scary day."
Ross Turriff, owner of Turriff's Garden Centre in Broughty Ferry, has already received an email from a Dutch flower supplier offering reassurance, but is still concerned.
He said: "With tariffs and restrictions that are added on as we pull further out of the EU, it's only going to affect prices. I can't see us being out of the EU making flowers any cheaper.
"The closer we are, the more links we have and the fewer restrictions keeps us and the importers happy."
Dundee, like the rest of Scotland, voted to remain, but those in the city who backed Brexit are not shy in saying so.
Cleaning supervisor Maureen Bennett, 56, said she was "over the moon".

Wendy Watson, who launched the National Hereditary Breast Cancer Helpline in 1996, has resigned as a trustee.
Financial irregularities were uncovered by the Charity Commission, which has issued an official warning for "significant breaches of trust".
Lawyers for Mrs Watson and the charity described the payments as "an error".
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 pre-emptive mastectomy procedure was made famous in 2013 when American actress Angelina Jolie had the surgery.
The charity was set up to raise awareness and fund a phoneline where people can 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.
Mrs Watson paid herself the sum over the 2014-15 financial year.
Trustees cannot be paid without permission from the Charity Commission, which regulates registered charities in England and Wales.
After looking at the accounts the Charity Commission found that the charity was in "financial distress".
The accounts for the National Hereditary Breast Cancer Helpline for 2013, 2014 and 2015 showed it spent 6%, 3.4% and 2.8% respectively of annual donations on "charitable activities", such as running the helpline.
The average spend for a charity is currently 83%, the Charity Commission said.
The rest of the money was spent running the shops and paying staff.
The Charity Commission noticed the financial irregularities and decided to investigate and discovered Mrs Watson had paid herself.
Michelle Russell, director of investigations at the Charity Commission said it is "quite normal" for a charity's profits to fluctuate from year to year, and this affects the amount of money which will go to the charitable work.
"If you think of small charities that are getting off the ground, sometimes they won't make a profit until year three, year four, year five, so it's quite hard to put a thick-and-fast rule on how much money should go to the end cause every year," she said.
Gina Miller, founder of the True and Fair Foundation, wants to set a minimum threshold so charities have to spend at least 65% of income on charitable activities.
She described the matter as "absolutely scandalous".
Mrs Miller, who is also known for challenging the government's Brexit plans, said: "When most people give over their money they believe the majority of it should go towards the end charitable work.
"This charity's spending should have been picked up by the Charity Commission a long time ago."
It is the first time the commission has issued an official warning under new powers handed down by the government.
It also raised concerns about the organisation's record keeping and "improperly delegating" management of the charity.
The official warning was issued after points raised in a previous inspection last year were not addressed.
The charity's shops are described as "support centres", but when a BBC reporter visited five of the outlets, the only support offered appeared to be adverts for the helpline number.
Ms Russell said it was a "serious" case.
"As a trustee, as it says on the tin, you are trusted with other people's money as a volunteer to look after it," she said.
"When we found out there were some unauthorised payments to a trustee, we made it clear that it wasn't allowed to continue.
"But when we went back for the second inspection we found they'd continued to make payments in breach of charity law."
A statement from Mrs Watson's lawyers said she had been paid in "error" for "a period while she was a trustee".
It added: "Wendy Watson has worked full-time for the charity from August 2012 until now.
"She was paid for her work for one year (September 2014-15) [and] during that period, she was also a trustee.
"Neither Ms Watson nor the charity were aware that this was inappropriate until they were informed by the Charity Commission, at which point Ms Watson immediately resigned as a trustee and continued to work without payment.
"Ms Watson was also paid for three months' work at the end of 2016.
"Other than these periods, she has worked full-time on a voluntary basis."
South Korea-based Bithumb has said that it believes personal details of more than 30,000 of its customers were stolen as a result.
It appears the data was subsequently used to fool users into letting thieves steal funds from their accounts.
Bithumb has promised compensation.
But the Korea Internet and Security Agency, a local government-empowered watchdog, has launched an inquiry into the matter, according to the Yonhap news agency.
Bithumb allows its members to buy and sell the virtual currencies Bitcoin and Ethereum. It is South Korea's biggest cryptocurrency exchange, based on recent trading volumes, and one of the five largest in the world.
The breach is reported to have occurred in February, and is said to have involved an employee's home PC rather than computer servers at the firm's headquarters.
Bithumb is reported to have discovered the breach only on 29 June and reported it to the authorities the next day.
Although a notice posted to the company's site said the leaked data did not contain passwords, dozens of customers have reported receiving follow-up scam calls and texts in June that persuaded them to share their accounts' authentication codes.
Bithumb has promised initially to cover losses of up to 100,000 won ($86; £67) per customer, and to add to this once it has been able to verify individual losses.
But it is unclear whether victims will be compensated in full.
An unverified local report said one member claimed to have lost 1.2bn won ($1.04m; £806,000).
At present, virtual currencies are not regulated by South Korea's financial authorities and efforts to address the matter have made little progress.
Largely that was driven by fraudulent use of debit and credit cards, and phishing scams, where criminals persuade customers to give away their passwords or banking details.
In some of these cases, account-holders play a part in giving away such information.
However, the Tesco case is very different. It appears that the criminals may have been able to get into the bank's systems without any input, or leak of information, from individual customers.
So, while anti-fraud campaigners habitually tell us to take five minutes to assess the veracity of a call from someone claiming to be the bank, in this case there may be few obvious precautions that customers can take.
At this stage, it is also unclear who, or what, alerted Tesco to the breach of security. Was it the bank's own computer systems, or was it a number of customers who noted dubious transactions on their accounts?
"In an ideal world, the bank would notice," says Piers Wilson, head of product management at Huntsman Security, which monitors cyber-security across industry.
However, if it was the customers, there would seem to be a heavy onus on vigilance by individuals.
"There is a need for us all to be vigilant," says Mr Wilson.
"While we expect banks to do this, there is a responsibility on the individual to check their account."

In some cases, relatively small amounts of money were taken from Tesco account holders, making detection even harder.
However that could strengthen the need to check statements on a regular basis.
"It is a good idea to regularly check your bank statements for any unusual activity, as criminals often make small but regular thefts which are harder to spot than larger one-off purchases," said Jody Baker, head of money at Comparethemarket.com.
But since Tesco has insisted it will refund anyone who has been a victim of this attack, there is currently no obvious incentive for account holders to do so.
Last month, consumer body Which? carried out some research on banks' online security, and declared that some of the High Street banks could do more to protect customers' personal details.
Lloyds, Santander and TSB scored poorly in their tests, although they each disputed the findings. However, Tesco was not part of the Which? investigation.
The key factor, said Which?, was for banks to have two layers of security:
However, in the case of Tesco, it is not known what security was breached, or how it was carried out.
In any case, says Mr Wilson, "It is difficult to say whether one bank is better than another."
In the meantime tens of thousands of Tesco account holders are left with uncertainty over whether online payments will be honoured.
"Customers who have had their online payments frozen and are due to make one today should contact the company or person they're paying, and let them know there may be a delay," says Tashema Jackson, money expert at Uswitch.com.
"This is especially important for those making credit card, loan, or mortgage repayments, as failure to make that payment could impact your credit file."
They believe that dark stripes on the surface have been caused by trickling water that freezes and unfreezes during different seasons on the planet.
Further tests are being carried out, to confirm the findings of the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft, but already space scientists have started to speculate about what the existence of liquid water on Mars could mean.
Here are some of the key questions they're trying to answer:
One thought is that the liquid water could be coming from under the planet's surface.
Professor Tim O'Brien. from Manchester University, told Newsround: "This is the key question. One alternative is that it's coming up from underground reservoirs in some way."
This would change lots of things that scientists thought they knew about Mars but Professor O'Brien also offers another view.
He added: "Alternatively it could be absorbing water from the atmosphere."
He says that would make the water on the planet extremely salty and not suitable to drink.
On Earth, every time we find liquid water we find life and so scientists believe that surface water might help identify possible habitats for life on Mars.
Although there is no suggestion that scientist have found life on the planet, experts now know that Mars has the type of environment where life could potentially exist.
Space scientist Sarah Crowther told Newsround the discovery does not confirm there is life on Mars in any way.
She said if it is true it simply shows that there may be the conditions there to support some kind of living organisms.
In 2012 NASA's Curiosity rover landed on the Red Planet's surface, as part of a robotic mission to search for evidence of life.
But scientists know that if we want to find out more, we will eventually have to send humans to explore.
There's now the potential for future exploitation of water as a resource for manned missions to Mars.
If it's proved that there is water on the planet it could be used to make rocket fuel or provide water for humans to stay there longer.
Scientists are currently trying to build the rockets that will one day take researchers there, but that kind of mission could be many years away.
Scientists believe that of all the planets in our solar system Mars is the only other place where humans could realistically live in the future.
Water is essential to human life and all human beings need it to survive.
If scientists prove that there is water on Mars, the planet could potentially form a human habitat.
However, the average temperature on the red planet is -62 degrees Celsius so there's no way humans could set up camp there without a lot more work to help them cope with the conditions.
The presence of water could have a big impact on future exploration of Mars, in terms of what regions scientists can or can't explore.
Areas with water are off limits under current planetary protection regulations, a set of rules designed to control space exploration.
It's to stop these areas being contaminated with germs and other organisms from the Earth.
Scientists don't know what effect that would have. Professor Tim O'Brien told Newsround: "We wouldn't want to contaminate it with life from earth.
"The problem is if our space craft go there, certainly if we go there we'll be taking lots of organisms with us, bacteria, microbes and so on.
"So how do we protect this possible life on Mars while also protecting it? That's the challenge."
The regional airports operator said it handled 477,612 customers between April and June 2017 - an increase of 55,934 passengers.
The strongest performing of its 11 airports included Inverness, Barra and Islay.
However, Dundee handled 2,690 fewer passengers.
Hial said this was a result of the withdrawal of the Flybe Amsterdam service by the operator in December 2016.
Numbers also declined at Wick John O'Groats. This was due in part to reduced demand from energy sector services to and from Aberdeen.
Hial operates airports in the Highlands, Western Isles, Orkney, Shetland, Argyll and Dundee Airport.

Three-quarters of cases of takotsubo cardiomyopathy, a change in the shape of the heart's left ventricle, which can be fatal, are caused by stress.
The University Hospital Zurich study, in the European Heart Journal, suggests about one in 20 cases is caused by joy.
The condition is normally temporary and people are generally fine afterwards.
In the study of 1,750 patients, researchers discovered heart problems caused by:
The study also suggested most cases were in post-menopausal women.
Dr Jelena Ghadri, one of the researchers, said: "We have shown that the triggers for takotsubo syndrome can be more varied than previously thought.
"A takotsubo syndrome patient is no longer the classic 'broken-hearted' patient, and the disease can be preceded by positive emotions too.
"Clinicians should be aware of this and also consider that patients who arrive in the emergency department with signs of heart attacks, such as chest pain and breathlessness, but after a happy event or emotion, could be suffering from takotsubo syndrome just as much as a similar patient presenting after a negative emotional event."
She said it was likely both sad and happy events shared a common "emotional pathway" leading to the condition.
Prof Peter Weissberg, the medical director of the British Heart Foundation, said: "Takotsubo syndrome is a rare event.
"This study suggests that in a very few cases, the triggering event may be a happy one.
"Much more research is needed to understand how such emotional events can trigger temporary heart damage in a few susceptible individuals."

The V&A has released 12,000 new tickets one month before the show closes on 2 August.
The museum will open through the night for the final two weekends of the run.
Martin Roth, Director of the V&A said: "We knew that Savage Beauty would be very popular, but the response has been even greater than we imagined."
He added: "It is not going on tour to other venues so our aim is to provide as many people as possible with the opportunity to see it by opening through the night for the last two weekends.
"This will be the first time we have opened the V&A around the clock and we certainly think it is an event worth getting out of bed for."
More than 345,000 people have visited the Alexander McQueen show, making it the most visited paid-for exhibition at the V&A in the last decade.
The museum revealed it had received 10,000 new members during the exhibition - with members gaining free entry - and its Friends of the V&A membership was now 75,000.
An earlier version the Savage Beauty retrospective took New York by storm when it opened in 2011 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (Met).

Newton, near Wisbech in Cambridgeshire, is reverting to its original name Newton in the Isle "to set us apart" from the other 40 or so Newtons, the parish council said.
As reported in the Fenland Citizen, the name was approved at a recent meeting.
Council chairman Doug Fullbrook said new road signs were being drafted and could be in place by the summer.
Mail being sent without a full postcode often ends up in the wrong Newton, he said.
About 80% of residents of the village, which has a population of about 600, voted to go back to the old name, he told the BBC.
More on this and other stories from Cambridgeshire
"People coming to the village see 'Newton' on the highways signs then get to the middle of the village and see one of the lovely old signs which says Newton in the Isle, and they ask, how did this happen?
"Well, 600 years ago that was the name given to the village when it was formed as a settlement in about the 13th Century. The 'isle', of course, is the Isle of Ely," Mr Fullbrook said.
"Somewhere along the way someone decided to shorten the name."
Changing it back would "set Newton apart... from all these other Newtons", he added.
The process had been "simple" he said, and Fenland District Council approved the proposal.
Newton in the Isle is commonly mixed up with Newton near Cambridge
There are also Newtons in the neighbouring counties of Northamptonshire and Lincolnshire
Other Newtons are scattered throughout North Yorkshire, Lancashire and Nottinghamshire as well as Scotland and Wales
There are also numerous versions of Newtons as well, including Newton Abbot in Devon and Newton on the Moor in Northumberland.
Fig Newtons are a popular biscuit taking their name from another Newton - this time in Massachusetts, USA.
Mr Jedrzejewski, who lived in the city, was found on Keene Street, Lliswerry, at around 23:00 GMT on Thursday.
He was taken to the Royal Gwent Hospital, where he later died.
Two men aged 18 and a 17-year-old boy were arrested on Friday and a 43-year-old man was arrested on Saturday.
All four were arrested on suspicion of murder and are currently in police custody.
Gwent Police said it was not looking for anyone else in connection with the incident but is appealing for anyone who was in the area at the time to come forward.
Officers are particularly interested in speaking to a girl in her late teens or early 20s who was seen walking into Keene Street and a boy who was riding his bike along Cromwell Road.
They also want to speak to the driver of a silver hatchback car seen turning into Keene Street just after the incident.

RLC will be the first tenant of Global Point Business Park, Invest NI's largest industrial development site.
The company makes components for some of the best-known names in the aerospace sector, including Martin Baker and Rolls-Royce.
RLC, which is based in the Isle of Man, already employs more than 250 people at its facility in Crumlin, County Antrim.
The Crumlin facility will stay open.
RLC will also use it as the base for a research and development project focusing on engine components.
The company is investing £35m with Invest NI providing £6.5m in job creation and research and development grants.

There is also room for a new manager's fine start, protesting fans at a Championship struggler and mixed emotions for Carlisle on their return to Brunton Park.
Cardiff's Anthony Pilkington found the net three times in his side's 2-2 draw with Rotherham in the Championship.
Unfortunately for the former Norwich winger, the second of his unusual hat-trick was scored at the wrong end.
Pilkington, 27, had only scored three goals all season before Saturday's game.
I wonder if he took the match ball home?
Sam Winnall showed Pilkington how it should be done, netting three goals at the right end as Barnsley thrashed Rochdale 6-1 in League One.
In-form Winnall, 25, has scored eight goals in his last four league outings.
"He's got everyone to sign the ball, but what he doesn't realise is that we've got to charge him £40 for it," joked manager Lee Johnson.
He told BBC Radio Sheffield: "He loves it when he scores, he lives to score goals and I'm sure he'll enjoy his evening."
Winnall's hat-trick ensured a miserable return to Oakwell for Rochdale boss Keith Hill, who managed the Tykes between June 2011 and December 2012.
"If I'm too hard on the players after that type of result, it could have a double negative [effect]," Hill told BBC Radio Manchester.
"There are enough negatives in today's performance and result to last the season. If I go too heavy on the players, it could break them for the rest of the season.
"Hopefully, as the season progresses, it's a result we can put in isolation and learn from."
These are unhappy times at Charlton Athletic.
The Addicks were second from bottom of the Championship after losing 5-0 and 6-0 in their two outings before hosting Blackburn on Saturday.
They took the lead against Rovers - the first time they had done so in a match since 15 December - but in the end they had to settle for a 1-1 draw at The Valley, extending their winless run to 11 games.
After the match, there were more protests from supporters against owner Roland Duchatalet, with Addicks fans questioning the turnover of managers in south-east London and voicing concern over the Belgian's long-term strategy for the club.

Nolan, who has not played a first-team game since August, named himself on the bench at Adams Park but was not required on the field as goals from Jay Simpson and Calaum Jahraldo-Martin earned a second victory in 11 games for the O's.
"It feels great," Nolan told BBC Radio London. "A clean sheet and two well-taken goals.
"The lads responded to everything I've asked of them over the last 48 hours so I'll be going home on the bus really pleased."
On Saturday, Carlisle United supporters ended a wait of almost two months to see their team play at Brunton Park.
The Cumbrians' home ground was severely damaged by flooding in December, which led to Keith Curle's side playing "home" fixtures at Preston, Blackburn and Blackpool while the stadium recovered.
Carlisle were back on home turf - newly laid turf, at that - against York but the fairytale homecoming failed to materialise, as the visitors, League Two's bottom club, scored a late equaliser to earn a 1-1 draw.
"There's been a lot of work gone on behind the scenes by a lot of people who haven't got the credit and probably think they don't get noticed," manager Curle told BBC Radio Cumbria.
"I can honestly say for myself that I do notice the people who have worked extra hard."
Gordon Anglesea, 78, of Old Colwyn, Conwy county, was charged with five counts of sexual assault and two serious sexual offences in July.

The offences are alleged to have taken place against four boys aged under 16, between 1979 and 1987.
Mr Anglesea's arrest was part of an inquiry into allegations of historical sexual abuse in the north Wales care system.
Instead it is one that is comfortable, affordable and in the right location.
Unfortunately for many that remains a distant dream, begging the question - can technology play a role in making housing more affordable and better suited to our needs?
Alastair Parvin certainly thinks so. He is the brains behind the WikiHouse, an open source building system which aims to give people the digital tools to create cheap homes.
Mr Parvin believes that digital technology could transform the way we design and build our homes and hopes that his project can do for buildings what Uber and AirBnB have done for the taxi and hotel industries respectively.
"There is something fundamentally wrong with our housing economy - our dependence on a few large development companies to buy the land, beat their way through local community resistance and build rows of poor quality, unsustainable mass housing that fewer and fewer of us can afford," said Mr Parvin.
"Every major urban economy now faces a huge housing challenge. It's not just about building enough homes but also about breaking our dependence on fossil fuels and debt."
To draw up plans for their new home, users will visit the WikiHouse website (still under construction) and input some basic measurements such as the width and height, which algorithms will interpret and use to predict how much the project will cost and even how many screws it will need.
The components for the house will not be manufactured in centralised factories but by a distributed network of small businesses and community spaces where people get together to create things (maker-spaces).
"These micro-factories will be collectively one big factory rather like AirBnB is a huge hotel," said Mr Parvin.
Possible kits include studios (with an estimated build price of £12,000), micro houses (£45,000) and town houses (£150,000).
Much of the material is deliberately low-tech - timber frames that can be put together, said Mr Parvin "using tools you can buy in B&Q".
Tomorrow's Buildings
Of course what WikiHouse does not provide is the land to build on, but that too could be changing as cities increasingly run out of space.
DemoDev - a project set up specifically to find space for affordable housing - recently conducted a study using open data from the UK's second biggest city Birmingham.
It found that the local authority had 14 hectares of land distributed around the urban centre, albeit in tiny little plots.
The UK government seems to be acknowledging that self-build projects are an important part of the housing future and has committed to doubling the size of the self and custom-built housing sector which currently accounts for under 10% of the housing supply.
WikiHouse, Mr Parvin is keen to point out, is still a research project although it is beginning to see its first pilots in New Zealand, Europe and South Yorkshire.
Others are thinking, not about designing new homes but making the most out of the ones we have - which in urban areas, often means tiny apartments.
At the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Changing Places lab they have come up with a technological solution known as CityHome.
The home in a box that is controlled by waving your hand at it looks, at first glance, like something Ikea would come up with if it was based at MIT's Media Lab.
The 200ft space has at its centre a box which contains a bed, dining room table, kitchen surface, cooker and storage.
Users can summon different elements of this through gesture, touch and voice control.
The whole unit can be moved a few feet each way to extend a room - so when you want the bedroom space, you effectively do away with the kitchen.
"Once you have shrunk an apartment, the only way to make it functional and liveable is to have space dynamically convert from one function to another," Prof Kent Larson, who leads the research, told the BBC.
"It is about giving people, especially young people, the chance to live in a part of the city which they are normally priced out of," he added.
After the video of CityHome went on YouTube, the team were inundated with enquiries from developers and, six months ago, created a start-up to build the furniture commercially.
Its designs are currently being piloted in existing apartments in Boston and feedback has been "largely positive", said Mr Larson.
The start-up is also in talks with around 20 developers about building such apartments from scratch.
Prof Larson believes that the concept can be extended to create smarter homes.
"We need to think of technology-enabled furniture as a platform for integrating other technology because in a small apartment it is not practical to put in conventional systems," he said.
As well as digital displays on walls, the platform could include lighting systems that change colour to help users sleep or wake, wireless sensors that monitor the occupant's health and teleconferencing capabilities.
"I don't believe in smart homes, I believe in dumb homes that you put smart things into. If smartness is embedded in the walls then your home becomes obsolete in five years time," said Prof Larson.
However, not everyone believes that the solution to the urban housing crisis lies with technology.
In 2001, Brazilian designer Alexandre Lafer Frankel grew so exasperated with the traffic in Sao Paulo that he abandoned his car and started to think about how to solve the mobility crisis in his city.
"People spend three hours a day in their cars. There is no public transport in Sao Paulo and I wanted to created a better lifestyle in the city," he told the BBC.
The answer he came up with was to build tiny apartments (130 square feet in some cases) in the centre of the city, close to where people worked.
"People like to live and work in the same area and they are prepared to trade off a large apartment far away from the city for a small one in it," he said.
To compensate for the lack of space internally, each apartment has shared areas - cafes, gyms, storage for deliveries and rooms where users can borrow tools and other pieces of equipment they can't store in their homes. The apartments - which have a starting price of only £15,000 - even offer spare rooms for when relatives or friends come to visit.
They also have shared bike, car and motorcycle schemes running so, like Mr Frankel, residents can also give up their cars.
In the last six years, Vitacon, the construction firm he founded, has built and sold 10,000 apartments, suggesting that his gamble has paid off.
Now he is leading a campaign to extend the idea of small apartments that eliminate the need to own a car to other cities around the world.

Callum McDougall, who has worked on nine Bonds, said Craig was "absolutely the first choice" of series producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson.
"I know they're hoping for him to come back," McDougall told Radio 4's Today programme on Friday.
Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire, where many of the Bond films were shot, is celebrating its 80th birthday.
Pinewood celebrates 80 years of film
The facility has been a significant part of the British film industry since opening in 1936.
Craig, 48, made his debut as Bond in 2006's Casino Royale, returning to the role in Quantum of Solace, Skyfall and Spectre.
He has yet to commit to another instalment, prompting speculation as to who might replace him.
Asked on Friday morning who would be the next James Bond, McDougall said: "I wish I knew."
But he insisted the role was "absolutely" Craig's should he choose to continue as Ian Fleming's legendary spy.
Pinewood Studios was founded when Charles Boot, a builder with movie ambitions, bought Heatherden Hall and its estate in 1934.
A year later, Boot met J Arthur Rank and the two became partners in the studio project, releasing their first film, London Melody, in 1936.
The James Bond movies have a long history with Pinewood, beginning with the first Bond movie, Dr No, in 1962.
In addition to the Bond franchise, Pinewood has hosted Superman, Star Wars, Harry Potter and the Carry On films.
"It's literally a dream factory," said McDougall, who has been a part of the Bond "family" since The Living Daylights in 1987. "People will be staggered by the films we've made here."

The pontiff insisted that abortion remained a crime but said avoiding pregnancy was "not an absolute evil".
His remarks came in response to a question about how best to tackle the Zika outbreak across Latin America.
The virus has been linked to the microcephaly birth defects in babies, which can cause development problems.
Roman Catholic teachings currently ban the use of contraception.
"We must not confuse the evil consisting of avoiding a pregnancy with abortion," Pope Francis told reporters on a flight returning home from a visit to Mexico.
"Abortion is not a theological problem. It is a human problem, medical. One person is killed to save another. It is evil in itself, it is not a religious evil, it is a human evil," he said.
"Avoiding a pregnancy is not an absolute evil. In certain cases, as in this one, or in the one I mentioned of Blessed Paul VI, it is clear," he went on.
The 79-year-old was referring to a predecessor's decision to authorise nuns at risk of rape in Africa to use contraceptives.
The Pope's comments about avoiding pregnancy in areas where the Zika virus is prevalent are an immensely significant moment. While he does not specifically condone artificial contraception, which is against Roman Catholic teaching, he appears to signal an unexpected openness to the idea if used in order to prevent further infection.
Asked directly whether the Church would consider it permissible to use contraceptives in order to prevent transmission of Zika, Pope Francis said that in some cases the "lesser of two evils" could be applied and spoke of example of Blessed Paul VI, a Pope in the early 1960s who allowed nuns in Africa to use birth control in order to prevent them conceiving children from rape.
That leaves the door open to Catholic families in affected areas to follow their own consciences on the matter. However, the Pope made abundantly clear that abortion remained "a crime, an absolute evil," while birth control was not an "absolute" evil.
Scientists said on Thursday that links between the Zika virus and microcephaly have been strengthened by a study involving pregnant women in Brazil.
The research confirmed the presence of Zika virus in the amniotic fluid of two women who had had Zika-like symptoms during their pregnancies.
Brazilian experts say this suggests the virus can infect the foetus. But World Health Organisation experts caution the link is not proven and expect to release more information in the next few weeks.
The United Nations and aid organisations have urged countries hit by the virus to ensure women have access to contraception to reduce the risk of infection and the right to abortion should they decide to terminate a pregnancy.
Many Latin American countries outlaw abortion or allow it only if the mother's life is in danger.
After initially saying little about the outbreak, Catholic leaders in the region had recently begun to assert the Church's opposition to what it terms "artificial" birth control and abortion.
Instead of using condoms or the contraceptive pill, Church officials have been recommending abstinence or what they term natural family planning - scheduling sexual relations for the least fertile periods of a woman's menstrual cycle.
Earlier Mr Corbyn said there would be a "full and open selection process" in every seat if new constituency boundaries were in place before 2020.
His critics in the parliamentary party fear this would allow pro-Corbyn members to force them out.
Mr Smith said Mr Corbyn was prepared to see the party split.
"It's not much of an employer that says, you know, work for me and work harder or I'm going to sack you all - which is effectively what he's doing today," Mr Smith told the BBC.
He added: "I don't think he (Mr Corbyn) feels he can bring the party back together, that's why he's talking about re-selections because I think he is reconciled, I think he is fatalistic about the prospect of the party splitting apart and being destroyed.
"He just wants to control the Labour Party."
Mr Smith and Mr Corbyn are going head-to-head in Labour's leadership contest.
Although most Labour MPs want the veteran Labour left-winger and serial rebel during the New Labour years to stand aside - and never supported him as a leader in the first place - Mr Corbyn was the overwhelming choice for leader from the party's wider membership last year.
He is still believed to be supported by Labour members and registered supporters - which has led some critical MPs to fear the government's planned boundary review, due to be published in 2018 and reduce the number of MPs from 650 to 600, could be used to replace them with Corbyn supporters.
Shadow chancellor John McDonnell has previously said there was "no way" the review would be used to allow the new wave of Corbyn-supporting Labour members to deselect MPs.
But taking questions after he launched his leadership campaign, Mr Corbyn said that if the next general election takes place on the revised boundaries: "There would be a full selection process in every constituency but the sitting MP... would have an opportunity to put their name forward.
"So there will be a full and open selection process for every constituency Labour Party through the whole of the UK."
Mr Corbyn's critics said this amounted to a deselection threat - but the leader's team said he had simply been setting out the existing rules.
However, the current rules state that selections following boundary changes are only open to sitting MPs.
Speaking afterwards, Mr Corbyn said the National Executive Committee was in charge of decisions about candidate selection.
During his campaign launch speech, he said if he remains as leader it will be "the job, the duty, the responsibility" of every Labour MP to "get behind the party" and take on the Conservative government.
He also vowed to tackle the "five ills of 21st Century Britain" - inequality, neglect, prejudice, insecurity and discrimination - if elected as PM.
Labour Party members, affiliated trade union supporters and so-called registered supporters are able to vote, although there are some key differences from the 2015 contest which Jeremy Corbyn won.

There was "genuine fear" of the impact on housing, jobs and the NHS, he told Parliament's The House magazine.
But he said Britain's pledge to take 20,000 Syrian refugees did not compare well with the efforts made by Germany.
He also called for a "visionary debate" on the EU referendum and said there was no "correct Christian view" on it.
The archbishop said he felt the referendum debate was not yet addressing questions about the UK's role in the world.
Archbishop Welby called on those who want to leave the EU to set out what Britain would be like after leaving in a variety of respects, including its international "attitude" and its values.
"And from those who want to stay, how would we change the European Union? How would we make it more effective if we remained in it? What's our vision?" he said.
The UK will vote on whether to remain in the EU or leave on 23 June.
The archbishop praised the "absolutely superb" humanitarian work Britain was doing in refugee camps surrounding Syria and Iraq.
However, he said Britain's pledge to accept 20,000 Syrian refugees by 2020 did not compare well with the number accepted by Germany and urged the UK to take "our share".
"I was in Berlin, and the churches there are doing the most extraordinary things, as are the German people," the archbishop said. "They took 1.1 million last year. And it does make 20,000 over several years sound really very thin."
He recognised that some people had concerns about the pressure that new arrivals put on communities and services. The archbishop said: "There is a tendency to say 'those people are racist', which is just outrageous, absolutely outrageous.
"Fear is a valid emotion at a time of such colossal crisis.
"This is one of the greatest movements of people in human history. Just enormous. And to be anxious about that is very reasonable."
He said it was "really important" that fears were listened to, and resources put in place to address them.
Archbishop Welby also described fear about what would happen if the UK left the EU or remained as a "valid emotion" .
He adds: "I don't think there is one correct Christian view, one way or the other. You can't say 'God says you must vote this way or that way'."
Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith, who is one of five cabinet ministers campaigning for the UK to leave the EU, welcomed the archbishop's comments on migration
He said: "These are rational comments from the archbishop - they're to be welcomed - but you wonder just how late they've come from various people in institutions, so I congratulate him.
"If you think back, for far too many years what's happened is that in a sense the elites have all said 'It's terrible to talk about immigration and if you do you're racist', so they've shut down the debate for many, many years."
Mr Duncan Smith said this was leading the debate about immigration to be "pushed to the margins, which is what you're seeing in Europe, and then political parties and people with very poor intentions and rather nasty motives then start to take this issue and that's where you lose control".
He added there should be a "system that controls migration", which he said would make it easier for people to assimilate into the UK and "bring talents and skills that are necessary to that community".
The prime minister's official spokeswoman said Mr Cameron agreed with Archbishop Welby's comments about migration, saying it was a "legitimate concern".
She added that the PM had taken a "range of measures to reduce migration from outside the EU" and had made it "a priory in the renegotiation that we have just had with our membership of the EU, where he has secured reforms to address this issue".
Meanwhile, former prime minister Tony Blair called for pro-EU campaigners to make their case with "passion, vigour and determination".
In an interview with BBC Radio 4's Today programme, he said the UK's destiny was to "lead in Europe" and warned leaving the EU would cause economic instability and "damage fundamentally".
In response, the Vote Leave campaign group said the UK would hand over "more money and more power to Brussels in return for some hollow promises" if it remained the EU.
The owners of Schoolcardshop announced on Wednesday that they had ceased trading, putting thousands of orders under threat.
But Devon-based Harrier LLC, which owns the Truprint brand, has promised to deliver all the cards before Christmas.
Harrier said the move was "a goodwill gesture".
Edinburgh-based Schoolcardshop converted schoolchildren's artwork into Christmas cards, with schools retaining a proportion of the money spent by families on the products.
On news of the company's demise, many parents took to social media expressing concern that their children's artwork had been lost.
Others were also worried that they would not receive their money back for orders placed.
But Schoolcardshop told BBC Scotland on Thursday that Harrier would pick up all the outstanding orders, with "the majority of deliveries" expected by the end of next week.
In a statement, Schoolcardshop owner Dynamic Colour said Harrier had stepped in after it explored "all options to preserve Schoolcardshop long enough for parents to receive their products".
Dynamic Colour added: "We appreciate the high level of anxiety this has understandably caused parents, children and schools who we worked with on this project.
"We would have liked nothing more than to have been able to complete this project successfully, but sadly we have been unable to do so.
"We have lost a company we love, our livelihoods and over a decade of hard work. But we are extremely happy and relieved to be able to give this positive news at the end of it all."
Harrier commercial director Darryll Allen said: "This is a goodwill gesture and there will be no charge. We are absolutely sure we can get all these cards out before Christmas."
Ian Jones told a parliamentary committee that reductions to the channel's funding could not "go on".
The UK government announced a 25% reduction to S4C's grant in 2015 - but this was frozen while a review took place.
The details of the review are yet to be announced by the UK government.
The outgoing chief executive Ian Jones and chairman of S4C Huw Jones said the lack of clarity over the review was creating a period of financial uncertainty.
They told the Welsh Affairs Select Committee the UK grant could be cut by £700,000 for 2017-2018, from from £6.762m to £6.058m.
The remainder of S4C's funding comes from £74.5m raised by the BBC licence fee arrangements.
However, the two heads of the channel said cuts to UK government funding would have a significant impact on S4C and that "they would cut everything else to the bone."
Mr Jones told the committee of MPs that since he became the chief executive there had been "cuts after cuts after cuts and it can't go on like that".
He said the board would look at further repeats, reducing subtitles and cutting the HD service if further cuts were made - but stressed that they would try to protect the high-definition service.
"We need to ensure that S4C doesn't become a second class service," he said.
Planting Peace, a US-based non-profit group that seeks to "spread peace in a hurting world", launched the flag near Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on 17 August.
The balloon captured video with a GoPro camera as it floated 21.1 miles (34.1km) above earth for three hours.
Organisers said they wanted to declare space gay friendly, "in a peaceful, beautiful way".
The balloon and its flag returned to earth, but the episode was captured in striking footage that shows the planet's surface from above, with the sun beaming behind the flag.
The non-profit group said: "The primary purpose of this declaration is to support the ongoing fight for the fundamental human rights of our LGBTQ [Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Queer] family, moving us closer to a universal understanding that all people deserve to live freely and love freely without fear and discrimination."
It added that the stunt emphasised the need for the gay community to have a safe space in every corner of the universe.
As well as gay rights activism, Planting Peace runs humanitarian aid projects and environmental initiatives across the world.
It recently made headlines during the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio, with a billboard that showed US presidential candidate Donald Trump and then-aspiring Republican nominee Ted Cruz poised to kiss, with the slogan "Love trumps Hate. End homophobia".

Writing in the journal PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases, US scientists looked at the virus in macaques, in the first study in primates for more than 20 years.
They found out how the virus damages the body and which genes it disrupts.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) said the study was encouraging.
The virus, endemic in tropical areas of Africa and Latin America, can cause jaundice and kidney failure and mainly targets the liver.
It kills 50% of people infected if they are not treated, the WHO said. There are around 200,000 cases of the infection every year.
Researchers at the University of California, Riverside, gave 20 macaques yellow fever. A control group were given the virus and the vaccine, to compare the results.
The study said within 24 hours of the virus, 90% of the animal's lymphocytes, or white blood cells, had been lost in all 20 animals, leaving it vulnerable to infection.
Yellow fever does not present in humans until quite a late stage, said lead author Ilhem Messaoudi in California, and there are no approved drugs to treat it, meaning early diagnosis is crucial for survival as it allows for rehydration and supportive care.
She said it was extremely challenging to get the vaccine to people in remote areas who need it and that it was not safe for babies and the elderly.
The loss of white blood cells occurred before changes in the liver, the study found, meaning if this translated to humans, doctors could spot it earlier and the chances of survival could be improved.
Researchers also looked at the macaques' genes and 800 were found to have been switched on within 72 hours of the initial infection, compared to the control group.
Twenty-five percent of the monkeys survived the infection, said Ms Messaoudi. She said she would now be looking at what it was, genetically, in those animals that made them survive, with a view to developing a drug.
She said: "Can we use gene expression as a diagnostic in the clinic - could we run a quick analysis on patients' white blood cells and determine which infected person is at high or low risk?
"Supportive care would follow for all patients, but it would change the dynamics of how aggressive the treatment needs to be."
William Augusto at the WHO said: "This research work is at an early stage and, although encouraging, will need additional work in both animal models and on human beings to better estimate its implications in terms of diagnostics and antiviral therapy."
The hackneyed but good example is that if a dog bites a man it's not a story - dogs do that quite often. But if a man bites a dog, it is a story - because men, generally speaking, do not.
In other words the "story" is something that is unusual, rare and unexpected.
So what box do we put the Freddie Gray story in?
It's obviously a story - but it is none too rare, sadly not that unusual - and if you ask many in the black community, not in the least bit unexpected.
I heard one piece of commentary that more or less started "First there was Ferguson, now Baltimore"' - but in truth there has been a whole pile of incidents in between.
I haven't the space to list them all - the 12-year-old boy shot dead in a park in Cleveland, Ohio, the student left bloody and bruised at the University of Virginia, the man fatally shot eight times in the back in South Carolina, the 44-year-old chased down and killed in Tulsa, Oklahoma, after volunteer officer pulled a firearm instead of a stun gun.
And there are more, culminating in Freddie Gray dying while in the custody of Baltimore police, after his spinal cord had been virtually severed. It's unlikely you would sustain an injury like that simply by slipping as you stepped into the police wagon.
What the common features are of all these incidents is that the victims were black and the forces of law and order involved in them were for the most part white.
All of these stories made news on the day, and maybe even a bit of follow-up on day two and day three.
But have they stirred national debate, caused people to stop and reflect, led to serious - as President Obama has demanded - "soul-searching"? I am going to say not so much.
Which brings us back to the opinion piece that made the point that first there was Ferguson, then there was Baltimore. The writer is correct, insofar as they both resulted in looting, burning and vandalising - all playing out on our screens last night.
How could you not feel sickened to see some poor shopkeeper's life's work go up in flames, or being taken away in greedy armfuls by the lawless mob?
There was something almost grotesque about sitting and watching for an hour or so the looting at a CVS pharmacy store as people very casually wandered into the store and wandered out with their arms full.
And not a policeman in sight. If I were on the board of CVS I would be asking the authorities in Baltimore some pretty searching questions.
And some pretty searching questions are being asked again today about American society - What to do? How to put things right?
This has been a huge story because in 21st Century America you don't really expect the need to impose night-time curfews.
From tonight in Baltimore, unless you are going to work or you have a medical emergency, you are banned from being outside.
You don't really expect to see Humvees and the National Guard on patrol in one of the larger cities in America.
It's astonishing. The cable channels are full of it, Washington has sat up and taken notice. If you could market hand wringing, you'd make a fortune.
But here is the morally uncomfortable bit - is it the death of Freddie Gray that has caused everyone to sit up and take notice, or is it the rioting?
From the hapless Baltimore mayor through to the president the point has been made - rioting achieves nothing.
But, sadly it has. It has caught people's attention - because it has conformed to the journalist's law of what makes a story - it is rare, unexpected and unusual.
Perhaps the lesson is we need to take more notice of things that lead to the riots and sense of alienation by disaffected young African-Americans.
The white cop assaulting or shooting a black man may not be that unusual, but it has already led to dire consequences for those living in Ferguson and in Baltimore.
United led from a disputed penalty after a challenge on Marcus Rashford, with Clement claiming the forward 'deceived' referee Neil Swarbrick.
"I have had no communication at all from anyone," he explained.
"It surprised me because of the nature of it and the position that we are in. I've not heard from Mike Riley."
He continued: "I chose not to put any call into the FA on this occasion I felt that I had made my point very clearly in the media afterwards.
"We've had our fair share [of poor decisions] and all these things, they've all potentially cost us.
"I can't blame Neil Swarbrick for the decision, only for giving it if there was doubt, which I feel there was.
"That's why he asked the linesman, who is on the wrong side and has his view obscured.
"For me, of course, I'm disappointed with the player [Rashford].
Media playback is not supported on this device
"I think [the remainder of the season] will come down to small margins.
"But what I am really hoping is it doesn't come down to a refereeing decision, either for us or against us.
"I want our future to be [decided] from our own good play.
"You want it to be down to us and if it isn't, that will be disappointing."
Plans unveiled this week will see sin bins introduced to English football next season while after a weekend where Rashford, Manchester City's Leroy Sane and Tottenham's Harry Kane were all accused of diving, there have also been renewed calls for retrospective bans.
However, Clement is wary of the suggestion.
"As a preventative measure I would support it, but if it costs you a result, there is nothing you can do, it won't help," he explained.
"It could end up potentially helping another team [in the next game] and not your own.
"For me it has to be video replays, they will sort it out easily.
"Last weekend showed it is a major issue. It is not normally as bad as that, but ours was the worst one.
"The video replay on those decisions has got to happen.
"I could not support one of my players if he did something like he [Rashford] did."
The former Derby boss is hoping to avoid a historic Premier League relegation play-off with Hull.
The so-called "39th game" would happen if Hull and Swansea finished joint-18th, level on points, goal difference and goals scored.
Hull have a two-point advantage over Swansea with three games remaining, but the two clubs' goal difference and goals scored are close, with Swansea on -29 and Hull on -31. Swans having scored four more goals.
Should those records be identical come the end of the season, the Premier League would take the unprecedented step of organising a one-off match at a neutral venue, as per their own rules and regulations.
"It is a possibility, isn't it?" Swansea head coach Clement said. "We're two better on goal difference, four goals better. So it is tight.
"Obviously you want to try to avoid it, but at the same time I'd take it [rather than go down]."
The revised test has been on trial in 20 locations across the UK since April.
Mr Ferguson, who's 17, took his test at the Bishopbriggs driving centre in East Dunbartonshire, Scotland.
Among other more standard manoeuvres, he had to follow a route on a sat-nav for 20 minutes.
The changes are designed to "better reflect real driving", explained a spokesman for the DVSA (Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency).
"Any future changes to the test would be subject to full public consultation," he added.
Other changes being tested include:
The DVSA hopes to complete 1,000 of the new tests, which will continue until early 2016.
So far, around 20 people have taken the new test.
Driving instructor Drew Nicol, who taught Mr Ferguson, thinks the update is a good idea.
"Lots of people have criticised the idea of using sat-navs but people are going to use them when they drive so it makes sense that we teach them to use them properly," he told the BBC.
"I teach learners to listen to it rather than look at it or glance at it only when it is safe to do so."
A hotel, care home, shops and restaurants are also proposed for the Omega site near the M62 at Burtonwood.
Some concerns have been voiced about the potential for increased traffic in the area, and the impact on wildlife.
The Omega project is already home to distribution warehouses and has reportedly created 2,000 jobs.
The land at the former RAF Burtonwood airbase has been labelled "the largest employment site in Western Europe" by Warrington Borough Council.
Council leader Terry O'Neill said: "The continued development of Omega is a key priority in our ambitious growth agenda.
"This planning application brings much-needed housing to the town."
The proposals will now be considered by the authority's planning department.
Developers Miller Developments and KUC Properties said more than 200 local residents have been consulted on the plans, and promised there would be improvements to local roads and wildlife habitat preservation.
Managing Director of Miller Developments Andrew Sutherland said "Naturally there were numerous concerns expressed about traffic congestion and our transport consultants continue to work hard with Warrington's highways team and public transport providers to address this."
Planning permission has already been granted for a new primary school on the site, whilst government funding has been committed for improvements to Junction 8 of the M62.
The land is owned by government body the Homes and Communities Agency.
Spokesman Karl Tupling said: "The development of Omega is one of the largest construction projects happening in the North West.
"This will create significant employment opportunities and contribute to the delivery of the government's Northern Powerhouse agenda."
A federation statement explained that "After 20 months of instability and inconsistent results" it agreed with Zaki to end his contract.
The federation also announced that a new coach would be appointed in the coming days.
Former Ivory Coast boss Herve Renard is being tipped to take over.
Renard, who lead the Elephants to the Africa Cup of Nations title in Equatorial Guinea last year, was sacked by French club Lille earlier this season,
The 47-year-old also lead Zambia to the Nations Cup title in 2012.
Former international goalkeeper Zaki, 56, took over as Morocco manager for the second time in May 2014.
Zaki first managed the side for three years from 2002, losing the Africa Cup of Nations final to Tunisia in 2004.
Morocco's next competitive games are crucial home and away 2017 Nations Cup qualifiers against Cape Verde at the end of March.
The two sides are currently top of Group F having won both their matches so far, Libya and Sao Tome are the other teams in the pool.
The Atlas Lions have also progressed to the final round of qualifying for the 2018 World Cup.
The 70-year-old, who is in his second spell as president, stood unopposed for the post.
Perez held the position for the first time between 2000 and 2006, a period during which Real signed Luis Figo, David Beckham and Ronaldo.
He returned in 2009, as the club bought Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, Karim Benzema and Xabi Alonso.
Cristiano Ronaldo's future at the Bernabeu remains uncertain after he told the club he wants to leave.
Perez employed six managers during his first spell, as Real won two La Liga titles and the Champions League.
He resigned in February 2006 after the club went three years without a major trophy.
Last season, Real Madrid became the first side to retain the Champions League and won the Spanish title for the first time since 2012.
That's according to veteran environmental campaigner Jonathon Porritt anyway.
And you thought smart meters were just about saving a few quid on your gas and electricity bills? Think again.
These gadgets being rolled out in many developed nations around the world will not only save people money, they'll promote more competition, more innovation, and change the way the global energy industry works, proponents argue.
So here's all you need to know about the huge project to introduce digital meters into British homes.
The UK government has told energy suppliers that they must offer to replace the old analogue gas and electricity meters in homes and small businesses with digital meters instead.
The aim is to install 53 million of them by 2020 - a target Lord Bourne, the minister responsible for the smart meter roll-out programme, recently admitted was "an ambitious and challenging aim". It has also had plenty of critics.
No, the scheme is voluntary - perhaps explaining why just 1.7 million have been installed so far. It's being paid for by the energy industry to the tune of £11bn.
The first thing to say about smart meters is that they're not all that smart - all they do is measure our gas and electricity consumption.
But they do it digitally, which means we can see exactly how much energy we're using - and how much it's costing us - in real time via a wirelessly connected in-home display. That data is also sent wirelessly to the energy company.
For one thing, it means no more estimated bills because your energy supplier will know precisely how much energy you've consumed at any point.
It also means an end to people having to come into your home to take meter readings, or you having to send readings to your supplier.
With annual dual fuel energy bills running at £1,300 on average, cost savings would be welcomed by most of us.
But this won't happen simply by having smart meters installed.
It's how we respond to the data - seeing the effect in pounds and pence of boiling a full kettle when we only want to make a single cup of tea, say. Or noticing the difference it makes when we switch off the TV and set-top boxes at night rather than leaving them on stand-by.
"We're all going to be much more in control of our energy usage than we are now," says Ann Robinson, director of consumer policy for U-Switch, the price comparison website.
"We'll have so much more data about how we use energy and how we can reduce the costs. We'll be able to pay less, use less and waste less."
But the government estimates smart meters could save us £17bn on our energy bills over the next 15 years.
Smart meters will increase competition by making it easier for new suppliers to enter the market, says Sacha Deshmukh, chief executive of Smart Energy GB, the body responsible for publicising smart meter roll-out.
Not so long ago there were just six energy suppliers in the UK - now there are 31, and many more could enter the market.
"The reason companies like Amazon, Tesco, Virgin, or Google haven't entered this retail energy market yet is because it hasn't been digitised," he tells the BBC. He also envisages media companies like Sky and BT potentially including energy as part of their bundles of services.
And more accurate, up-to-date data will enable households and businesses to switch supplier far more quickly. Energy regulator Ofgem is aiming for energy supplier switching within 24 hours.
Not yet. The in-home display will merely show the total energy usage, so you'll see the display and cost fluctuate as you switch things on and off.
To reach that more sophisticated level of analysis we'll need smart appliances that can talk to the in-home display via another piece of kit called a consumer access device, explains Howard Porter, chief executive of Beama, the trade association for the UK electrical infrastructure industry.
"Smart meter roll-out is a catalyst for change... it's stage one in the move towards connected homes and buildings linked in to smart grids," he says.
You own your energy usage data - that's a basic principle of this whole programme, says Smart Energy GB. It will be transferred to the energy suppliers over a dedicated secure network being built by a new consortium called the Smart Data Communications Company (Smart DCC), comprising O2/Telefonica and Arqiva. This network is due to go live in August 2016.
"If consumers want it they may choose to share their energy data with third parties to help manage their energy consumption," says Smart DCC's managing director, Jonathan Simcock.
You might want to allow price comparison websites or energy management companies to shop around for the best energy deals on your behalf and switch suppliers for you, for example.
Or you may want advice on how to improve your energy efficiency, by upgrading appliances, switching to LED lighting, or using the dishwasher and washing machine at times when electricity is cheaper. Such companies could effectively manage your energy usage for you.
For business processes that don't have to be done immediately, it makes sense to do them when energy is cheapest or at its most plentiful.
For example, a big food retailer running energy-hungry chiller and freezer cabinets can run them at a colder temperature at night when electricity is cheaper, then use them less intensively during the day when electricity is more expensive, knowing that there is enough stored coldness in the equipment to keep it running properly.
"We can achieve energy savings of 15% to 25% for our customers," says Sara Bell, chief executive of Tempus Energy, a new energy supplier offering this type of service.

EU law enforcement agency Europol said the gang purchased football clubs and then used them as a front for an opaque network of holding companies.
It said four major football clubs were searched along with houses and offices, resulting in three "key" arrests.
Third division club Uniao de Leiria was among those raided.
Leiria's owner Alexander Tolstikov has been detained, along with two other club officials, Portuguese media report.
They are all due to appear in court on Thursday morning.
Uniao de Leiria was a top-flight club, at one point managed by Jose Mourinho, but it fell out of the Primera Liga in 2012 and dropped to the third division before going bankrupt and being bought by Mr Tolstikov in 2015.
It is currently fighting for promotion to the second division.
Europol said the searches and arrests were carried out on Wednesday as part of Operation Matrioskas (Russian dolls), which had been going on for more than a year.
Links were found with serious and organised crimes carried out in the UK, Germany, Moldova, Austria, Latvia and Estonia, it said.
Three other clubs were searched, top sides Sporting Lisbon, Sporting Braga and Benfica - but Portuguese media said they were not under suspicion and were only linked to the investigation because of football transfer negotiations conducted with Leiria.
Several Russian players have been on Uniao de Leiria's books in the past two years, but only one has been in the main squad, Reuters reports.
The gang behind the alleged club takeovers was "thought to be a cell of an important Russian mafia group", the agency added. According to Europol, the group adopted a particular method:
Due to the use of front-men, the real owners who ultimately controlled the club were unknown, it said.
The investigation was triggered due to suspicions raised by "strong red flag indicators" - mainly the "high standards of living suspects enjoyed".
The Staggies beat Hibernian 2-1 at Hampden in Glasgow last Sunday.
The parade started from County's stadium in Dingwall following the team's game against derby rivals Inverness Caledonian Thistle.
Inverness are the holders of the Scottish Cup but were knocked out of this season's competition by Hibs.
The Edinburgh side beat Caley Thistle 2-1 in Inverness on Wednesday.
But Ross County failed to notch up a win in the derby game ahead of the parade, losing 3-0 to their Highland rivals.
An open-top bus took the team and the cup from the stadium around the Highland town before returning to the football ground.
Club spokesman David O'Connor said: "The messages of congratulations have been overwhelming since the victory over Hibernian and the procession on Saturday evening will allow all sections of our support and the community to join in the celebrations.
"There will be many photo opportunities but safety will be a priority and well-wishers are asked to consider their safety and that of others on the night."
The group, Core Issues, was ordered to pay £100,000 in legal costs after the High Court rejected its case.
It was trying to challenge a Transport for London (TfL) ban of its posters, which read "Not Gay! Ex-Gay, Post-Gay and Proud. Get over it!".
Core Issues vowed to continue fighting.
The 2012 campaign was a response to a bus poster campaign by gay rights group Stonewall, saying: "Some people are gay. Get over it!".
In March 2013, the High Court ruled the TfL ban was lawful because displaying the advert would "cause grave offence" to those who were gay.
But Core Issues argued that London mayor Boris Johnson, as TfL chairman, had ordered it to impose the ban for the "improper purpose" of seeking votes from gay people to help him win re-election.
The Court of Appeal ordered a further investigation, and High Court judge Mrs Justice Lang cleared Mr Johnson of any wrongdoing last July.
However, returning to the Court of Appeal, Core Issues argued the judge had not properly considered the evidence that Mr Johnson had "instructed" TfL to impose the ban.
But Lord Justice Sullivan said although there was an amount of "puffing" by Mr Johnson, the ban was "certainly not unlawful" and refused a fresh appeal.
Andrea Williams, chief executive of the Christian Legal Centre, said later: "It does not finish here. It is all a whitewash."
Referring to the fact that Core Issues now faces a £100,000 legal expenses bill from TfL, Ms Williams said: "This is intimidation. It is an extortionate amount of costs against somebody seeking to do good."
The article was about a police raid on militants in Dhaka.
A BBC spokesman said it had been sent by mistake by a World Service reporter and was taken down minutes later.
He added: "It was literally a human error and it has been corrected."

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

Folkestone beat off rival bids from Hastings and Brighton to host the event in May as part of Culture24's Connect 10 Museums at Night Festival weekend.
The three seaside towns staged a series of publicity stunts in their bids to win the competition.
The photographer said he hoped those taking part would have a great time and that he would not be arrested.
George's House Gallery in Folkestone was up against Hastings' Jerwood Gallery and Brighton's Royal Pavilion and Museums in the competition to host the photoshoot by Tunick.
In January about 30 Hastings residents took part in a nude flash mob on a wet and windy beach in their bid to attract the photographer to the East Sussex town.
But the Folkestone bid's online campaign featuring residents holding up signs reading "I'm ready for Spencer!" - including a placard with the logo placed next to the statue of a mermaid in the town's harbour - apparently proved more eye-catching.
Mr Tunick said: "I have no idea what the folks of Folkestone look like, I have no idea what the streets are like.
"I have no idea if the police are going to stop me, or arrest me, or if I'll get permission."
Up to 250 people will strip to have their photos taken by Mr Tunick, with each person being in front of the camera for about 30 seconds, he said.
Each shot will be displayed in a key fob viewfinder and a fast-moving slideshow of the naked images will be projected onto a mirrored mosaic wall at the gallery.
Brigitte Orasinski, director of George's House Gallery, said: "He makes such democratic artwork.
"It's instantly recognisable, even those who aren't as interested in the arts as others know his works."
Mr Tunick said: "I just hope everyone has a great time, and lots of people sign up to participate and be part of this traditional, but quite novel, portrait."
Wenger has yet to beat the Portuguese in nine attempts, most recently losing a Capital One Cup fourth-round tie 2-0 at home to Chelsea in October.
But victory over the Blues at the Emirates Stadium on Monday will take Arsenal back above Liverpool to the top of the Premier League table.
"It is not a personal battle," Wenger said.
"Honestly, we had some big games in the past, but what is important for me is that I am completely focused on Arsenal Football Club and on my team and doing well in the team.
"Whether we play Monday night against Chelsea or anybody else, for me it is exactly the same, because what is at stake for us is to get back to winning habits."
The relationship between the two managers has been fiery in the past, with Wenger being called a "voyeur" by Mourinho in 2005 over comments made about events at Stamford Bridge.
"Once you are out of competition, everybody is different," said the Frenchman, whose side have been the early Premier League pacesetters before a draw and a defeat in their last two games saw them overtaken by Liverpool.
"We have spent time together in Geneva at the Uefa managers' meeting.
"Here is competition time, so everybody fights for his team and his club."
Mourinho also played down the significance of his record of five wins and four draws against Wenger.
"It's not me against Wenger," said Mourinho, whose side would draw level on points with leaders Liverpool with a win.
"It's my Chelsea against his Arsenal. And [the record] doesn't play Monday. It has no influence. That stat, for the game on Monday, means nothing.
"I just feel that we played better, we deserved more and we won these matches.
"In my time I remember just one game where we were close to losing, which was a game at home where (Michael) Essien scored the equalising goal in the last part of the game (in the December 2006 Premier League draw).
"After that, even at the Emirates, playing with 10 men for 75 minutes we played a fantastic match and we drew 1-1 (in May 2007).
"My memories are that against them we played very good matches. As a consequence of that we got good results."
The seven men are officials of the temple in Paravur and were among several wanted by police.
Earlier police had detained five others and a judicial inquiry ordered into the incident.
A court in Kerala is due to hear a plea to ban fireworks displays at temples.
Nearly 400 people near the temple were injured when a faulty rocket fell onto a large stockpile of fireworks on Sunday.
A building at the temple then collapsed, causing many of the deaths.
Kerala temple tragedy: 'All over in a few minutes'
The death toll rose to 111 on Tuesday after two of the injured died in hospital.
Seven temple officials, including the president, have surrendered to the police since Monday night, and are now being questioned over their role in the incident.
Officials say the temple had been denied permission on safety grounds, but it had gone ahead under pressure from a large crowd.
Thousands had gathered to watch the display as part of a local new year festival.
Police are also questioning five temple workers involved in staging the fireworks display.
Kerala Chief Minister Oommen Chandy said 351 people were still undergoing treatment for injuries sustained in the blast, and 24 of them were in a critical condition.
Puttingal: India's 'temple of fireworks'
Fireworks and firecrackers are commonly used at temple festivals in Kerala.
Every year temples in the state organise fireworks displays, often competing to stage the most spectacular ones.
Sunday's incident is not the first of its kind in Kerala.
The famous Sabarimala temple banned fireworks in 1952 after 68 people died in a firecracker explosion.
Tony Wood, the head of aerospace, will depart, and Lawrie Haynes, who runs the land and sea division, will step down next year.
The change in structure is part of a plan to save up to £200m a year from 2017, it said.
Removing the top layer of management is a bid to simplify decision-making.
Rolls-Royce has issued a series of profit warnings that have battered its share price, leaving it down 38% this year.
Mr East, who joined in July, admitted last month that the engineering group had developed an "accounting fog" that had left investors unclear about its direction.
He wants to "simplify" Rolls-Royce to make it a more responsive business.
From January, the company will operate as five businesses, with the presidents of civil aerospace, defence aerospace, marine, nuclear and power systems reporting to Mr East.
Currently, the firm has two divisions: aerospace, and land and sea.
"The changes we are announcing today are the first important steps in driving operational excellence and returning Rolls-Royce to its long-term trend of profitable growth," said Mr East.
Rolls-Royce employs more than 21,000 people in the UK, with more than 12,000 employed at its Derby aerospace engines and submarines division.
Earlier this year, the company announced 3,600 job cuts and warned that some of its 2,000 senior managers would depart.
The crisis claimed the scalp of John Rishton, who Rolls-Royce said in April would step down after four years as chief executive.
The company makes engines for the UK nuclear submarine fleet. It was reported this week that the government had drawn up contingency plans, should Rolls-Royce's problems become so acute that it faced being broken up.
Business minister Anna Soubry told the House of Commons that the government was "monitoring the situation carefully" but did not elaborate.
The next generation of nuclear submarines, due to be deployed by 2030, is being planned by the government.
Charles James Evans had six passengers in his BMW - three without seatbelts.
Evans admitted dangerous driving and was sentenced to six months at Mold Crown Court on Wednesday, suspended for a year.
He was also ordered to carry out 180 hours unpaid work and retake his driving test.
A police officer saw Evans' BMW Coupe drive at excessive speed towards the roundabout of the A483 near Welshpool cattle market, Powys, on 11 June and decided to follow it.
Judge Niclas Parry said Evans, 22, of Shropshire, reached "alarmingly high speeds" estimated at between 120mph and 140mph.
He drove on the wrong side of the road, and across a junction.
Simon Medland QC, defending, said that his client was a "hard working and highly thought of" agricultural contractor whose loss of driving licence would affect him greatly.
Eight engines and 40 firefighters were called out to the Hampton by Hilton Hotel in Corby at about 15:45 GMT on Saturday.

President: Abdel Fattah al-Sisi
Retired Field Marshal Abdel Fattah al-Sisi was elected president in May 2014, almost a year after he removed his predecessor, President Mohammed Morsi, from office in a popularly-backed coup.
He had served as armed forced chief under Mr Morsi, and was a key figure in the interim government which took over after the ouster.
Some Egyptians celebrated the possibility that Mr Sisi would bring stability to a country in upheaval since the removal of long-term leader Hosni Mubarak during the ''Arab Spring'' in 2011. Others worry that he represents a return to the authoritarian security state that prevailed under Mr Mubarak.
Egypt is a major regional media player. Its TV and film industries supply much of the Arab-speaking world with content and its press is influential.

It has promised to build three cancer diagnostic test centres to "match England" in waiting times and service.
The party estimates the centres would cost about £30m to build.
The Welsh government said it had "invested in new diagnostic equipment, new health centres and NHS staff and we are seeing long waiting times fall".
Plaid's analysis of official statistics suggest just 0.9% of patients in England wait more than six weeks for an MRI scan, compared to 32.3% in Wales.
For a cystoscopy, a specialist bladder examination, the figures are 6.4% and 52.3%.
Elin Jones, Plaid Cymru's health spokeswoman, said: "Waiting lists for diagnostic tests in Wales are substantially longer than elsewhere.
"This means that people who are worried about potential illnesses are waiting too long for diagnosis.
"In England, the government says that it will ensure that patients get cancer diagnoses within 28 days.
"In Wales, a Plaid Cymru government would seek to match England in terms of waiting times and service."
She conceded the Welsh government had invested additional funds in cancer treatment, but said the extra cash "hasn't dented waiting times for tests".
The Welsh government said the latest figures for July showed 97.7% of patients - 765 out of 783 - who were newly-diagnosed with cancer started "definitive" treatment within the target time of 31 days, up from 96.8% of people in June.
A spokesman for Health Minister Mark Drakeford accused Plaid Cymru of "repeating the rhetoric of Jeremy Hunt and the Tories by calling our Welsh NHS 'second rate'" when "every objective comparative study rejects the idea that people in Wales get poorer care".
"We have invested an extra £500m in the last two years alone, which is equivalent to 6.5% - more than any government has put into the NHS," the spokesman said.
"We know there is more that can be done and we are committed to working with our health service to deliver high-quality care and services for all," he added.
Welsh Conservative Shadow Health Minister Darren Millar welcomed "nationalist pledges to copy innovative UK government policy".
"Welsh Conservatives have long called for boosted access to cancer treatments and an end to long waits for hospital appointments," he said.
Environment Secretary Owen Paterson will raise the issue with senior officials from the Obama administration this week.
Scottish producers had asked Mr Paterson to take action when he visited the Royal Highland Show in Edinburgh earlier this month.
Haggis imports have been outlawed in the US since 1971.
The ban was put in place because the country's food standards agency prohibits sheep lungs - one of the key ingredients of haggis - in food products.
The US visit comes as Scotch Beef is set to make a return to menus in America for the first time in almost 20 years.
It follows a move by US officials to reopen the American market to EU beef and other bovine products, following a ban put in place in the 1990s over concerns that BSE could infect the human food chain.
Mr Paterson's visit is the latest attempt by British politicians to get haggis back on American menus.
Several years ago, Scottish Rural Affairs Secretary Richard Lochhead raised the issue with the US, but the ban remained in place.
Mr Paterson will hold talks with his US opposite number, Tom Vilsack, in Washington on Monday, in an attempt to open up a market which is potentially worth millions of pounds to Scottish producers.
The haggis market is already worth about £15m in the UK alone.
Mr Paterson said: "I share many haggis producers' disappointment that American diners are currently unable to enjoy the taste of Scotland's wonderful national dish in their own country.
"I am meeting my US counterpart today to discuss how we can begin exporting it, particularly as so many Americans enjoy celebrating their Scottish heritage."
"This government has opened many markets for our home-grown food and drink businesses.
"I will continue to do everything I can to boost exports of everything from whisky to haggis to support Scotland's farmers and rural economy."
During his visit, Mr Paterson will also ask for Scottish lamb to be allowed back into America, following a ban imposed in 1989.
The UK government said it hoped the ban could be lifted as part of an EU-US trade deal, known as the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, which is currently being negotiated.
Responding to Mr Paterson's visit to the US, Scottish Food Secretary Richard Lochhead said: "With almost nine million Americans claiming Scots ancestry, there is clearly an appetite in the US for haggis made to traditional recipes.
"We look forward to the USA resuming imports of Scotch Beef and are optimistic that this will pave the way for the resumption of imports of other iconic Scottish products such as haggis and Scotch Lamb.
"The US has long been a top priority market for the Scottish food and drink sector.
"I have been pushing for this development for years - therefore I welcome Owen Paterson's efforts to open up this lucrative market, even if it's taken the forthcoming referendum to get his attention."
While in the US, Mr Paterson will also promote British food and drink products at the Summer Fancy Food Show in New York, where brands like Walkers Shortbread have entered the American specialist food market.
Under the plan, the existing system of fishing quotas - which often leads to tonnes of perfectly good fish being dumped at sea - will be reformed.
For the first time MEPs have legislative power in this policy area. They are proposing amendments to a European Commission reform plan for the CFP. But there will be more negotiations with the 27 fisheries ministers this year before the changes become EU law.
What is wrong with the existing system?
The European Commission says the current policy is wasteful - 75% of stocks are still overfished and catches are only a fraction of what they were 15-20 years ago. Catches of cod for example have declined by 70% in the last 10 years.
The Commission believes that the "top down" system of micro-managing fisheries from Brussels is failing and that decision-making needs to be decentralised.
The method of allocating fishing quotas EU-wide has contributed to the serious depletion of stocks, the Commission says. Crews that haul in more than the agreed quota often throw large quantities of dead fish back into the sea - the much-criticised "discards".
The system is not meeting the European market's needs. Fish imported from non-EU countries now accounts for two-thirds of the fish sold in the EU.
What was the current policy designed to do?
The idea of agreed quotas was to make Europe's fishing stable and sustainable and prevent conflicts arising where foreign trawlers fish in a country's waters.
The quota system - called Total Allowable Catches (TACs) for each fish stock - is at the heart of the CFP, launched in 1983. The TACs are based on a country's previous catches.
Over time Europe's fishing fleets have grown too large for the dwindling fish stocks, but fisheries ministers are often reluctant to see their national TACs reduced. The Commission says the CFP has been plagued by short-term decision-making.
How does the EU plan to protect fish stocks now?
The practice of discards must be phased out, the Commission says. In future trawlers will have to land their entire catch - and that means member states will have to ensure that better technology is installed to monitor compliance.
The Commission says fisheries should be managed on an "ecosystem" basis - there needs to be more flexibility in the system and more scientific data needs to be collected on a larger number of fish species.
The parliament's lead negotiator, German Social Democrat Ulrike Rodust, says the EU should scrap the annual bargaining over quotas, replacing that with an eco-friendly system based on "maximum sustainable yield" (MSY).
Under MSY, there would be a limit to the catch for each species based on its reproduction rate - in other words, the rate at which the stock is replenished. Ms Rodust accepts that for MSY to become the benchmark in 2015, as outlined in her legislative report, more scientific data will be needed.
A new funding mechanism will be set up for 2014-2020 called the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF), with a budget of 6.7bn euros (£6bn).
Part of that fund will help support small-scale coastal fleets. Member states will be able to restrict fishing in a zone within 12 nautical miles of the coast, up to the year 2022.
But Ms Rodust's report objects to some Commission proposals to make fishing more market-driven.
The Commission said large fleets should be allocated transferable catch shares, called "concessions", which they would be able to trade, in response to local conditions.
Ms Rodust argues that such choices should remain in the hands of national authorities, not the EU.
She does not want "an allocation system being imposed at European level", and instead "member states will remain free to establish - or not to establish - a system of transferable fishing concessions".
What is the time frame for the changes?
Originally the Commission wanted the new CFP to be in place by 1 January this year, but the timetable has slipped.
MEPs now hope to reach a final deal on the reforms with the Council (EU governments) in June.
The plan is to start adopting the MSY approach to fisheries management in 2015, and from 2014 discards are to be phased out.
What has been the response so far to the plan?
The UK government is enthusiastic. UK Fisheries Minister Richard Benyon said more work must be done to encourage consumers to buy a wider range of fish.
That message was echoed by Sainsbury's, which said "it is imperative that supermarkets such as Sainsbury's help create the consumer demand for lesser known species by promoting them to our customers".
Scottish Fisheries Secretary Richard Lochhead said the EU reforms "need to be a lot more radical".
He praised the Commission's emphasis on conservation of stocks, but said more carefully targeted measures would be needed to stop discards.
The environmental group Oceana called for proper management plans for a much larger number of fish stocks.
It voiced concern that the Commission plan "doesn't establish any mechanisms to deal with landed by-catch". There is a risk that the surplus fish landed - instead of being discarded at sea - will simply be sold and that could incentivise overfishing, Oceana says.
The "Give and Take" scheme, which operated in south-west England and south Wales, saw more than £20m invested by about 10,000 people.
Mary Nash, 65, Susan Crane, 69, and Hazel Cameron, 54, all admitted operating and promoting the scheme.
Nash and Crane were jailed for six months while Cameron's six-month sentence was suspended for two years.
They are among 11 women, aged between 34 and 69, who were the first to be prosecuted for such a scheme, under new legislation in the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Act 2008.
Judge Mark Horton, sentencing the trio at Bristol Crown Court, said the scheme - nicknamed "G&T" - had ruined families and friendships.
He said: "Many people will wonder how so many mature women of good character and unblemished careers got involved in such a large, destructive and socially corrosive illegal investment scheme.
"The sad answer I regret to give is one of financial greed, deceit and selfishness overall which in their turn led to a catastrophic loss to a large number of innocent members of the community duped by one of the oldest investment deceptions of all time."
The judge added that those behind the scheme were aware of the "mood and desperation" of those persuaded to join.
Nash and Crane, both of Broadleas, Bristol, and Cameron, of Chew Stoke, Somerset, entered guilty pleas last month ahead of a retrial they were due to face.
Prosecutor Miles Bennett said: "The reality is that at the time this scheme was starting, this country was entering into a recession.
"One of the ironies is none of these three defendants needed the money from the scheme at all."
The scam began in Bath and Bristol and spread to other parts of the UK including Gloucester, Bridgwater, Cheltenham, Torquay, Weston-super-Mare and Wales.
The group encouraged people to "beg, borrow or steal" £3,000 to put into the scheme between May 2008 and April 2009.
Those running the scheme told its investors it had a quick, easy and legal way to make cash - by paying in £3,000 they would receive more than £20,000, as more members joined.
But eventually the number of new recruits dried up and the scheme collapsed, with 90% of investors losing their money.
It is thought committee members behind the scheme gained up to £92,000 each.
Laura Fox, 69, of East Harptree in Somerset, Jennifer Smith-Hayes, 69, of Bishopsworth in Bristol and Carol Chalmers, 68, of Weston-super-Mare were convicted of operating and promoting the scheme during a trial in 2012.
They were sentenced to nine months in prison and have now served their sentences.
Sally Phillips, 34, of Hengrove, Bristol, Jane Smith, 50, of Bishopsworth, and Rita Lomas, 49, of Whitchurch in Bristol admitted promoting the scheme in 2012.
Phillips received a three-month suspended prison sentence, Smith a four-month suspended sentence and Lomas a four-and-a-half month suspended sentence.
Two trials of Tracey Laurence, 60, of Bradley Stoke, South Gloucestershire failed to reach a verdict.
Rhalina Yuill, 34, of St George, Bristol was acquitted of promoting a pyramid scheme on her second trial.
The driver, who later turned himself in, told Sao Paulo police that he had dumped the limb in a stream.
The arm has not been recovered but doctors believe it could have been reattached, police told local media.
The cyclist - a window-cleaner on his way to work - is said to be in a stable condition in hospital.
The accident that saw the cyclist's arm torn off took place on Sunday morning on Avenida Paulista, one of Sao Paulo's busiest streets.
The authorities say the driver, a 22-year old student, will be charged with attempted murder and driving while under the influence of alcohol. However, they haven't yet decided how to charge him for the disposal of the arm.
The student says the arm fell into the car after the collision.
The motorist's lawyer, Cassio Paoletti, has told BBC Brasil he denies the attempted murder accusation and that his client did not stop for fear of the reactions of witnesses.
"If he had stayed, they would have killed the boy. For instance, the police station was surrounded by hundreds of people who verbally abused and threw cans at my client's father, who's a 60-year-old man," Mr Paoletti said, adding he would press for serious bodily harm charges.
A policeman told the BBC the case was still under investigation, but the driver had admitted to throwing the arm into the stream.
"It has dirty, murky waters, so it might be difficult to find it," he said, adding that the man was being questioned about the details.
Police say the motorist was on his way back from a night out when his car hit the window-cleaner.
After the accident, he reportedly drove a friend home and discarded the arm, before turning himself in.
A number of cyclists gathered outside the police district where the driver was being questioned to protest.
Cycle activists have been campaigning for more safety on the city's streets for months.
There were 300,039 trips in 2012-13 compared to 147,325 in 2007-08 - a rise of 104%, according to the Health and Social Care Information Centre.
It is unclear just how much of the rise is down to an increased number of people needing 999 help.
Some will be related to the ageing population and some because of better data collection.
The figures were revised after the Health and Social Care Information Centre admitted there had been a "labelling" error which meant the wrong statistics were used by the media, including the BBC News website.
The centre also admitted the increase seen could be partly down to changes in the way the data had been collected.
A spokeswoman said: "When looking at figures it should be noted that over time the completeness of the dataset has increased, meaning that changes over time may be partly attributable to improvements in data coverage."
This report replaces one originally published on 29 January that contained the incorrect figures.
My Bed (1998), which features stained sheets, cigarette packets, discarded condoms and soiled underwear, is being sold at Christie's on Tuesday.
It is expected to fetch between £800,000 and £1.2 million.
"The best possible result is that an amazing benefactor buys it and then donates it to a museum," Emin told the BBC News website.
"I have no idea where it's going to end up - or how much anyone is going to pay for it. There's never been anything like it for sale in an art auction before."
My Bed sparked public debate about the nature of contemporary art when it was shortlisted for the Turner Prize in 1999.
It gives a snapshot of Emin's life when she was depressed after the breakdown of a relationship.
The controversial piece is being sold by art collector Charles Saatchi, who bought it for £150,000 in 2000.
Speaking at Christie's in London on Friday, Emin admitted that seeing the artwork again gave her "flashbacks" to 16 years ago.
"I can't really come to the reality of the situation that it's moved and gone so far. Now to see it in Christie's is a really surreal experience."
"When I made the bed today I actually had to get in and pull the duvet over me and then push it back to make it feel and look real. Even the smell is all still there for me. It's very evocative."
She added: "Even though Charles has had this bed for so long, it's now going on a different journey. Let's hope it goes to a really nice place - it's helped me a lot."
Emin, who grew up in the seaside town of Margate, said the artwork had provoked different reactions around the world.
"In Japan they were shocked by my dirty slippers but they stole some bloody knickers and some condoms," she said.
"In America it was like: 'Yeah, we've seen feminist art before, we've done it already'. No fuss - they just treated it like a regular artwork.
"In the UK, it exploded with the Turner Prize. It just went crazy."
Emin said she still thought of the work as "iconic".
"There was nothing in the world of art that has ever looked like this, that has ever been like this, it's seminal. It changed people's perceptions of what art is, and what art can be. That's why it's still really special to me.
"I would show this at my next exhibition. I still love it, I still stand by it - and I made it 16 years ago."
My Bed is being sold as part of Christie's Post-War and Contemporary Art sale on 1 July which includes works by Francis Bacon, Peter Doig, Andy Warhol and Jackson Pollock.
By using powerful microscopes, scientists from Cambridge University now know how ants keep themselves clean.
They use parts of their body which look a lot like small combs and brushes.
Ants and most other insects all have antennae.
They look like hairy feelers coming out of their head and face.
They rely on their antennae for lots of different tasks: smelling food, finding mates and also, very importantly, communicating with each other.
If the sensitive hairs which cover their antennae get dirty, then the insects find it really hard to find food and reproduce.
Up until now scientists have been uncertain about how exactly ants keep their antennae clean.
Dr Alexander Hackmann and from the University of Cambridge made the discovery with his colleagues.
They were using microscopes to look at, camponotus rufifemur, ants.
The microscope helps the scientist see really small details on the insect's body which are not visible to the naked eye.
Dr Hackmann says: "Ants have a special cleaning structure on their front legs that is used to groom their antennae. A notch and spur covered in different types of hairs form a cleaning device, similar in shape to a tiny lobster claw.
"During a cleaning movement, the antenna is pulled through the device which clears away dirt particles using 'bristles', a 'comb' and a 'brush'."
The scientists think that this discovery could actually help the technology industry in a big way.
Contamination can be a big problem for technological devices, especially as the parts which make up the devices and technology we use every day, get smaller and smaller.
This discovery could help scientists and engineers develop new ways to clean those really small parts.
The 22-year-old former British number one was forced to retire from her qualifying match against American Madison Brengle on Sunday.
But on Monday she tweeted: "Getting solid treatment on my leg and will be all good for Wimbledon."
Robson is currently ranked 308 in the world after missing much of 2014 and 2015 with a wrist problem.
She finally returned to action at Indian Wells in March this year, her first WTA Tour event since August 2015.
The Australia-born player had wrist surgery in April 2014 and as consequence was sidelined for more than a year. She then had further surgery towards the end of 2015, which led to her missing the 2016 Australian Open in January.
The 2008 Wimbledon junior champion achieved a career-high ranking of 27 in 2013, having reached the last 16 of Wimbledon that year and the US Open in 2012, before suffering the wrist injury.
She has been awarded a wildcard for this year's Wimbledon, which begins on Monday, 27 June.
British women's number four Tara Moore and 17-year-old compatriot Katie Swan, who was the 2015 junior Australian Open finalist, have also been handed wildcards.

He told a think tank's magazine he was "slower than some" in recognising the assembly was here to stay.
Mr Crabb, who has unveiled plans to give more powers to Wales, said he was no longer a "devo-sceptic".
He urged opposition parties in the assembly to co-operate to force Labour from power at the 2016 election.
Mr Crabb told the Institute of Welsh Affairs magazine The Welsh Agenda he was surprised at the size of the majority voting in favour of full law-making powers for the assembly in the 2011 referendum.
"I was slightly wrong-footed by this," he said.
Referring to his own Preseli Pembrokeshire parliamentary seat, he added: "I didn't anticipate that people in Pembrokeshire were going to vote for full law-making powers for the assembly in quite the way they did.
"What that says is there has been a major shift in Welsh public sentiment about devolution since that first referendum [in 1997]."
Mr Crabb said he would no longer describe himself as a "devo-sceptic" or agree, as he wrote in 2007, that devolution was leading to "constitutional vandalism".
On the prospect of unseating the Labour Welsh government in the May 2016 election, he said: "We need to be thinking about the C-word - coalition.
"I want the other parties in the assembly to think in different ways about how to achieve a non-Labour alternative."
As for his own future, Mr Crabb said he did not have "an ambition" to be Conservative leader but would like to do another cabinet job, as long as he had "the opportunity to bring my own values to bear and my own thinking".
"That's what I love about the job of being Secretary of State for Wales," he added.
Gultan Kisanak was held at the local airport, while Firat Anli was arrested at his home in the south-eastern city.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has vowed to prosecute local officials accused of links to the banned Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).
In September, 28 elected mayors in largely Kurdish towns were sacked.
They were replaced by trustees appointed by the government using an emergency law that came into force following a failed army-led coup in July.
The pro-Kurdish Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP), whose mayors were principally affected, condemned September's sackings as a "coup by trustees".
The PKK was formed in the late 1970s and launched an armed struggle against the Turkish government in 1984, calling for an independent Kurdish state within Turkey.
Since then, more than 40,000 people have died.
In the 1990s, the organisation rolled back on its demands for an independent Kurdish state, calling instead for more autonomy for the Kurds.
Last year, a ceasefire reached in 2013 appeared to be over when Turkey launched air strikes against PKK camps in northern Iraq.
A report looking at the 226 English clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) in October 2014 says the average journey for a patient was 13 miles (22km).
But six teams saw patients travelling on average more than 100km (62 miles).
Patients in Brighton and Great Yarmouth and Waveney faced the longest average distance, NHS statistics show.
Vicki Nash, head of policy and campaigns at mental health charity Mind, said: "When someone is in a mental health crisis, they are at their most vulnerable.
2A good support network of friends and family can play a key part in recovery, but if someone is sent far from home... friends and family may be less likely to be able to visit.
"We know that bed numbers have been dropping over the last few years, making it harder for people to get the help they need, when and where they need it. It's not acceptable."
The Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC) report said the majority of people had a distance of less than 10km (6 miles), but one in 10 people (1,665) had a distance of 50km (31 miles) or more and one in 20 (778) people have to travel 100km (62 miles) or more.
The report says: "The data shows that people living in the South and East of England, particularly in CCGs covering large geographic areas, such as NHS Ipswich and East Suffolk CCG (median of 94.4km to treatment for 15 people treated) are more likely to travel further to treatment on average."
A spokesman for HealthEast, the CCG for Great Yarmouth and Waveney, said: "Beds for mental health patients are arranged by Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust, who will look for the closest available appropriate bed to the patient's home.
"It is important to note that patients living in Great Yarmouth and Waveney are only placed out of the area very occasionally and when appropriate.
"We will continue to work with the mental health trust to ensure people are treated as close to home as possible."
A spokesman for Ipswich and East Suffolk CCG said: "Geographically, the Ipswich and East Suffolk CCG covers a large area, and in its report, the HSCIC recognises this as a major factor affecting distances travelled by the 15 east Suffolk mental health patients.
"The priority of the CCG is to always place patients in the most appropriate care setting as close to home as possible, and this happens in the majority of cases."
A spokeswoman for Bristol CCG said it was "working in partnership with Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust to prevent anyone being transported out of area for their care and treatment".
The expedition will use new types of rock drill developed in the UK and Germany to retrieve cores from up to 80m below the seabed.
The target of interest is the Atlantis Massif, a 4km-high underwater mountain.
Scientists say its rocks may hold clues to the origins of life on Earth and its potential on other planets and moons.
The team is interested in the process of serpentinisation, which involves the alteration of material brought up from the mantle.
This occurs along the mid-Atlantic Ridge - the rugged chain of formations stretching down the centre of the ocean, where new crust is being created.
Rocks that contain iron- and magnesium-rich minerals (olivine) react with seawater to produce gases such as hydrogen and methane.
And this chemistry can then drive the metabolism of simple organisms.
"They can 'eat' hydrogen, they can eat methane, they can eat some of the smaller carbon compounds that are formed by the reaction of water with these rocks," explained expedition co-chief scientist Dr Beth Orcutt.
"They get energy under those conditions to help them grow, and to form new cells," the researcher from the Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences in Maine, US, told BBC News.
The Atlantis Massif is known to be an excellent location for studying this process.
Back in 2000, an expedition stumbled across huge towers of carbonate on one side of the mountain.
These pillars were precipitated in the hot, alkaline waters created by serpentinisation.
Scientists have already sampled the biology around them, finding abundant single-celled microorganisms known as Archaea.
They now want to drill into the nearby rock itself to see if different types of microbes persist and how exactly they function.
Normally, this exercise would be run from a rig on a specially adapted ship. But the team is going to the massif on a standard research vessel.
The UK-based RRS James Cook will deploy remote-controlled drill mechanisms, in what is a first for this type of expedition.
These systems, which are about the size of a shipping container, will be lowered on to the underwater mountain by a winch.
Once on the seabed, their weight will keep them steady. The machines carry a cartridge full of drill rods and core barrels that they add together to push tens of metres into the underlying rock.
Sensors and sampling equipment can also be lowered into the hole to make a range of scientific measurements.
"It is quite deep down - 750m to 1,750m below the sea surface," said Dr Carol Cotterill, a senior marine geophysicist with the British Geological Survey.
"We have two remote drills: the BGS RD2 and the Marum Mebo drill. They're both big bits of kit.
"They're attached by umbilicals, and each of them has cameras on them that send live feeds to the surface.
"So, the minute these drills are deployed, the respective drill teams will rush to their container control rooms to start running operations."
Researchers are fascinated by the process of serpentinisation because of what it could say about life's ability to thrive in even the most extreme circumstances.
It has been posited that life on Earth may even have started in locations where upwelling rock from the mantle meets the ocean.
And scientists who study the possibility of living things beyond our planet consider such processes to be among the most likely means to sustain biology elsewhere in the cosmos.
Next Wednesday, the Cassini probe at Saturn will make an ultra-close flyby of the moon Enceladus.
It will be trying to sample water jets spewing from the little world's south polar region.
Mission scientists hope to be able to detect molecular hydrogen, which could be seen as a strong indicator that serpentinisation is taking place at the base of the global ocean suspected to lie under Enceladus's ice crust.
"Wherever you have this general composition of rock and water, you could make hydrogen and methane. And some astrobiologists are hoping to send probes to look for methane and hydrogen in different places throughout the Solar System, including Mars," commented the Atlantis expedition's other co-chief scientist, Prof Gretchen Früh-Green from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich.
Closer to home, researchers are also interested in the process of serpentinisation because it works to lock away the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide.
The carbonate precipitations created at locations such as the Atlantis Massif are fed by the CO2 that has dissolved in seawater from the atmosphere.
These deposits can stay stable for tens of millions, even hundreds of millions, of years.
The $3.5m (£2.3m) Atlantis Massif expedition has been organized by ECORD, the European Consortium of Ocean Research Drilling, as part of the International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP). The use of the RRS James Cook is an in-kind contribution from the UK's Natural Environment Research Council.

North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service tweeted at 11:36 that 900 pigs were trapped by water at Keldholme Piggery near Pickering.
The fire service said four pumps and three fire crews were pumping water away from the animals.
The trapped animals have been moved into evacuation pens away from rising water.
Live updates on this story and others from Yorkshire
The farmer was "very appreciative" the crews saved the animals, the fire service said.
The Red Hands, who beat Derry in the 2016 decider, are in Section C of the provincial competition which starts on Sunday, 8 January.
The Oak Leafers have been drawn in the Section A along with Down, Armagh and Queen's University.
Section B will be contested by Monaghan, Fermanagh, Antrim and the students of St Mary's.
Tyrone's meeting with Donegal will be a repeat of this year's Ulster SFC final, won by the Red Hands.
Regenerus - formerly South Sefton Development Trust - is staging the Ten Years of Another Place event at Crosby Lakeside Adventure Centre on Monday.
The exhibition, which runs until 1 November, is one of several events.
The 100 statues should have gone to New York in 2006 but the council allowed them to remain as a tourist attraction.
Regenerus chief executive Cate Murphy said the Another Place exhibition would tell the story of why Antony Gormley - who also created The Angel Of The North - chose Crosby as the location for his artwork, and include many little-known facts about the installation.
It will also feature atmospheric images of the iron men taken by acclaimed Crosby-based photographer Ron Davies.
The naked cast iron statues, which are more than 6ft high (189cm) and weigh 1,400lbs (650kg), are on a two-mile (3.2km) stretch of beach between Waterloo and Blundellsands.
At one time Sefton Council wanted the statues removed due to safety concerns as the coastguard reported people getting cut off by the tide when they visited.
The council changed its mind after some of the ones in a more dangerous location were relocated.
For months, pro-Russian separatists have fought Ukrainian forces in two eastern regions of Ukraine but a fragile ceasefire has been agreed by both sides.
Despite repeated violations of this truce, Babatunde signed a one-year deal with Ukrainian Premier League side Dnipro last week after terminating his contract at rivals FC Volyn Lutsk.
I have been playing in this country for four years and I feel very safe to continue my professional career here
"The club and league organisers have taken every precaution with the security of the players, officials, fans and everyone involved in Ukrainian football," he told BBC Sport.
"Life here is normal and they've also ensured that we don't travel or play where there are security concerns.
"I have been playing in this country for four years and I feel very safe to continue my professional career here."
The 22-year-old made his debut for 2015 Europa League finalists Dnipro when they beat Shakhtar Donetsk 2-0 at the Chornomorets Stadium in the Black Sea city of Odessa on Friday.
The nine-time Ukrainian champions Shakhtar are homeless because their Donbass Arena was shelled during fierce battle last year.
Amid all this turmoil in the Eastern European country, Babatunde insists he felt safe in Odessa, the scene of a major fire last year.
"I know Shakhtar couldn't play in Donetsk, but the game took place in Odessa and not Lviv, but it was a good game and atmosphere," he said.
"I am a footballer so my focus was on the football and we felt safe and happy to beat Shakhtar away."
The skilful winger, who has been in Ukraine since 2011, rejected offers from Norwegian and Chinese clubs to play European competition with Dnipro.
"I'm very familiar with the country and league but Dnipro also provides the opportunity to play in the Europa League.
"The club reached the final of the competition last season and they are hungry to go a step further this season.
"We have a good team and I have a strong feeling that we can achieve something as a team," Babatunde added.
Babatunde, who made his international debut against Mexico in June 2013, played for Nigeria against Chad in a recent 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in Kaduna.
He also represented his country at the 2013 Fifa Confederations Cup and the 2014 Fifa World Cup.
One of Nigeria's standout performers at the World Cup in Brazil, he suffered a fractured wrist in the final group game against Argentina.
He underwent surgery and missed the rest of the World Cup before a lengthy spell on the sidelines kept him out of international football.
But a fit-again Babatunde made an emotional return for the Super Eagles 2-0 win against Chad in June.
A bid was submitted last year by supporters who say the industry has shaped the social, political, economic and cultural landscape of Wales.
A World Heritage Site is chosen for its outstanding universal value to culture, history or science.
Welsh Secretary Cheryl Gillan said heritage status would boost tourism.
Gwynedd's slate industry is one of the final 11 contenders announced by UK Tourism and Heritage Minister John Penrose to form the new tentative list for potential nominations for the status.
The 11 sites have been whittled down from 38.
Nominations from the list will be submitted from 2012 based on the strength of their case.
Mrs Gillan said the slate industry had played a dominant role in shaping the landscape and economy of north Wales since the 19th Century.
"Tourism is vitally important to the north Wales economy," she said bringing in up to £1.8bn of income to the region and supporting around 37,000 jobs.
'Global significance'
"Heritage status would help show the world just what Wales has to offer - from areas of outstanding beauty to dramatic industrial heritage."
Gwynedd council leader Dyfed Edwards said: "I am delighted that the government has recognised the global significance of the Gwynedd slate quarrying industry, and am now looking forward to working with Gwynedd's slate communities and our partners to develop our submission to Unesco."
The entire process of being selected for world heritage status can take between five and 10 years.
The bid must now move onto a nomination list where it will be assessed by the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) and the World Conservation Union (IUCN).
If successful, the application is then judged by the World Heritage Committee, which meets once a year to decide which sites will be inscribed on the world heritage List.
The Pilgrims lost the League Two play-off final last month and have just four senior players signed for 2016-17.
"Derek Adams, being the thorough guy he is, has been going through his targets of players," he told BBC Spotlight.
"We've been making offers to a considerable number, relative to the size of squad we're going to have."
Adams has been in charge of the Devon side for a year and offered contracts to 13 players at the start of June, with pre-season training starting in two weeks time.
However none have yet accepted new deals, with defender Peter Hartley and goalkeeper-coach James Bittner rejecting terms to join Bristol Rovers and Newport County respectively.
"I'm not sure it's normal or abnormal really," Starnes added.
"We've got very strong indications of the players that are going to be joining us, so we're very happy actually with the progress that's being made.
"These days in football players come, players go and there will be equally a number of players that will want to come and join Plymouth Argyle - I know that for a fact because they've told us."
The Old Town Hall in central Oldham will eventually house a seven-screen cinema and six restaurants.
It was built in 1841 but stopped being used as a public building in the 1990s.
The development, due to open next spring, is at the centre of the council's regeneration plans for the town centre and will see the creation of 74 full-time and 159 part-time jobs.
Contractors, who have been working on the site since October 2013, have found lost items like spectacles, coins, shoes, council papers - and even an old photograph of Marilyn Monroe (pictured).
Oldham Council Leader Jim McMahon said contractors were "undertaking painstaking work" to restore the building.
Barry Roberts, area director at Morgan Sindall, said: "This is a fascinating project to be involved with from a technical perspective.
"It requires a blend of care, consideration and energy to deliver the restoration."
The Old Town Hall will have five restaurants on the ground floor and one on the first.
The social network had introduced a temporary ban in May following complaints that the clips could cause long-term psychological damage.
The US firm confirmed it now believed its users should be free to watch and condemn such videos. It added it was, however, considering adding warnings.
One suicide prevention charity condemned the move.
"It only takes seconds of exposure to such graphic material to leave a permanent trace - particularly in a young person's mind," said Dr Arthur Cassidy, a former psychologist who runs a branch of the Yellow Ribbon Program in Northern Ireland.
"The more graphic and colourful the material is, the more psychologically destructive it becomes."
Two of the firm's official safety advisers have also criticised the decision.
Facebook allows anyone aged 13 and above to be a member.
Its terms and conditions now state that it will remove photos or videos that "glorify violence" in addition to other banned material, including a woman's "fully exposed breast".
The BBC was alerted to Facebook's change in policy by a reader who said the firm was refusing to remove a page showing a clip of a masked man killing a woman, which is believed to have been filmed in Mexico.
It was posted last week under the title, Challenge: Anybody can watch this video?
"Remove this video too many young innocent minds out there shouldn't see this!!!" wrote one user in the comments section below.
"This is absolutely horrible, distasteful and needs to be removed... there are too many young minds that can see this. I'm 23 and I'm very disturbed after seeing a couple of seconds of it," wrote another.
The social network later confirmed it was allowing such material to be posted again.
"Facebook has long been a place where people turn to share their experiences, particularly when they're connected to controversial events on the ground, such as human rights abuses, acts of terrorism and other violent events," said a spokeswoman.
"People are sharing this video on Facebook to condemn it. If the video were being celebrated, or the actions in it encouraged, our approach would be different.
"However, since some people object to graphic video of this nature, we are working to give people additional control over the content they see. This may include warning them in advance that the image they are about to see contains graphic content."
The firm also disabled the adverts for third-party products that had been appearing alongside the video.
Facebook originally pulled decapitation videos after the Family Online Safety Institute - a member of its Safety Advisory Board - complained that they "crossed a line".
The charity's leader Stephen Balkam told the BBC he was surprised by the latest development.
"I would have expected a heads-up on this," he said.
"I went to have a look at the video and there's no warning label nor is there any condemnatory context. It's just sort of up there and the first image you are presented with is a woman's head being held by a guy.
"I'm very unhappy that these have gone back up and that they have gone up without any warning. First thing tomorrow morning I intend to raise this with Facebook."
Another of the board members, London-based Childnet International, said it also had concerns.
"Such content should be taken down," said its chief executive Will Gardner.
"There is a need to raise issues happening around the world, there is that argument, but some content is horrific.
"We would want to see steps to try and protect people from coming across such content. I'll tell Facebook what our view is, absolutely."
Decapitation videos are available elsewhere on the net but critics have raised concern that Facebook's news feeds and other sharing functions mean it is particularly adept at spreading such material.
"I have seen some of these videos - they are profoundly shocking," said John Carr, who sits on the executive board of the UK government's Council on Child Internet Safety.
"Facebook has taken leave of its senses. Those videos will fuel countless nightmares among the young and the sensitive."
Google's rival Google+ social network has a more restrictive policy: "Do not distribute depictions of graphic or gratuitous violence."
The idea of Facebook issuing a similar blanket ban had, however, concerned some freedom-of-speech campaigners who had suggested it was the responsibility of parents - not the company - to protect children on the internet.
However, the French digital rights group La Quadrature du Net said it was still concerned that Facebook was reserving the right to take down the videos if it took issue with the way they were presented.
"It shows how much Facebook is in power to decide whatever will or will not be expressed through its network," said the organisation's co-founder Jeremie Zimmermann.
"It plays a profoundly anti-democratic role when it makes any such choice, whatever the limits are and whatever the good reasons it uses to make the decision. Only a judicial authority should be able to restrict fundamental freedoms according to the rule of law."
Jamie Jones-Buchanan went over, but Salford replied through George Griffin and went ahead with a penalty.
Salford's Gareth O'Brien was sin-binned and Kallum Watkins gave Rhinos a half-time lead, before the hosts scored 20 second-half points without reply.
James Segeyaro, Carl Ablett and Adam Cuthbertson's tries left the visitors with only one win in four Qualifiers.
Salford remain sixth, level on points with fifth-placed London Broncos as they chase a place in the Million Pound Game and a chance to return to Super League, with only three matches left to play.
Leeds: Sutcliffe; Briscoe, Watkins, Keinhorst, Hall; Moon Burrow; Galloway, Segeyaro, Singleton, Ferres, Ablett, Jones-Buchanan.

He will take over from Strathclyde University principal Sir Jim McDonald, who has stepped down after six years.
Dr Sibbald is currently the executive chairman of data analytics firm Aridhia and chairman of tech business Sumerian.
Glasgow Science Centre said it hoped the appointment would help to maximise its commercial opportunities and attract additional investment.
Chief executive Dr Stephen Breslin said: "The centre is a charity with a mission to make science accessible for everyone.
"To maintain our momentum and to keep the centre relevant in this fast-paced and commercially volatile world, we need a chair that can guide the board and provide an entrepreneurial business focus to our activities to ensure that the centre will be able to invest in its ambitious growth plans."
Dr Sibbald said: "The centre is more than just a visitor centre - it will draw people through who might otherwise be 'turned off' or 'scared' of science.
"I believe that this outstanding venue will play a key role in driving forward education around the need to attract more people into STEM subjects and engaging kids, parents and teachers is part of that."
Defender Jones twisted an ankle and midfielder Herrera injured a hamstring, and both miss Wednesday's Champions League game with PSV Eindhoven.
Van Gaal said: "The first impression is they are not heavy injuries."
A late Troy Deeney own goal gave Van Gaal's side a 2-1 win at Vicarage Road.
Deeney bundled Bastian Schweinsteiger's cross into the net having cancelled out Memphis Depay's opener just three minutes earlier.
Jones and Herrera join a list of absentees that now totals nine players, leaving the Dutchman short of options for Wednesday's game at Old Trafford.
Strikers Wayne Rooney and Anthony Martial missed out against the Hornets, which gave Depay a chance to start his first league match since 4 October.
"Rooney is ill and illness is a matter of days, not weeks," said Van Gaal.
"Martial has a foot problem. It is not so heavy as the media has written but you never know. We have to wait and see."
Having said on Friday he expected more from £31m summer signing Depay, Van Gaal was pleased with his fellow Dutchman's contribution on Saturday.
He said: "The first goal was superb. It was a fantastic pass from Herrera. Depay finished it very well. I also think he played a very good game in the first half."
The 24-year-old Englishman, from High Wycombe, finished on 23 under par, four shots clear of South African Richard Sterne and England's Ross Fisher.
Hatton carded a six-under 66 on Sunday having equalled the St Andrews Old Course record with a 62 on Saturday.
"It's a dream come true," Hatton told BBC Sport.
"To do it here is fantastic. I'm just over the moon that I got over the line. There have been a few experiences this year when I have been in the final group.
"Wentworth was a big one where I didn't have any patience. I wanted a quick start but didn't get that and got down on myself.
"It was a new experience today going out leading but I knew I just had to stay patient and play my own game."
Hatton's score matched the best in the event's 16-year history and he picks up the first prize of £640,380, taking his season's earnings to around the £2m mark.
The team prize was won by the pairing of Masters champion Danny Willett and his caddie Jonathan Smart, who recorded a score of 38 under par.
Willet missed the cut for the individual event but says his experience of playing alongside the man who carries his bag on a weekly basis will live with him for a long time to come.
"It's been a great week all round." said Willett.
"To be able to play three of the best links courses in Scotland with your pal not on your bag but walking down the fairways with you, I think we would both have taken it."
Grant Forrest from East Lothian was playing in his first event as a professional and finished with a creditable score of six under par and tied for 41st, giving him a healthy cheque of around £25,000.
The 23-year-old had a sterling career as an amateur but decided to delay his move into the pro ranks for a year because he didn't feel quite ready for the step up.
"My plan was to turn pro after the Walker Cup last year but I struggled a little towards the end of the season." explained Forrest.
"I felt I wanted to turn pro when I was on a good run so decided to have another year as an amateur and work on my game and now was the right time."
Forrest already has a number of invitations in place for next season but his immediate focus will now be to try and achieve his card at Tour School in November.
"Tour School is a tough place. I believe I can do well there so that is the plan."
John Price, 82, of Ash Tree Close, Bedale, North Yorkshire is alleged to have tried to put the boys into a trance before molesting them.
The defendant denies 13 charges dating from the 1970s and 80s when he worked in York and Pocklington, East Yorkshire.
Mr Price told Teesside Crown Court he had done nothing to be ashamed of.
Read more about this and other stories from across Yorkshire
The court earlier heard the alleged victims, then aged between 11 and 17, would be offered hypnosis to help with stress and pain before being assaulted.
Giving evidence, Mr Price said he did not know how to hypnotise anybody and denied ever saying he had the ability.
He added he "only very vaguely" remembered the boys and denied any of the alleged abuse had taken place.
During cross-examination the defendant was asked about a conviction from 1999 involving a 14-year-old boy.
Paul Newcombe, prosecuting, read extracts from a newspaper article on the case but Mr Price insisted it was not true.
Mr Newcombe said: "So, the jury in the case that we are reading about got it wrong?"
Mr Price replied: "That is my belief."
Later, Mr Price would say of the alleged victims: "I did nothing to them for which I would be ashamed."
Mr Newcome replied: "Probably the reason you felt no shame is because you were, and remain, a paedophile."
Mr Price replied: "That's your opinion but it's not true."
The trial continues.

Liam Adams was convicted on Tuesday of abusing his daughter over a six-year period. It began when she was four.
Speaking in Dublin, Gerry Adams was asked a number of times why he did not report his brother to the authorities.
He said: "The police were aware over 20 years ago and there is a lot of disinformation being flung about".
He added: "But let me say this, this has been and continues to be a huge ordeal for my family - we're a very large family - especially for Áine, but for all members of my family.
"And I think people need to be given the space to come to terms with all of that.
"And if it was your family, you would want the same respect and space and privacy on these matters."
The Sinn Féin president made his first report to the police about the allegations in 2007, shortly after his party voted to accept the Police Service of Northern Ireland.
In 2009, Gerry Adams made a second statement to police, telling officers that his brother Liam had confessed to him nine years earlier, in 2000, that he had sexually abused his daughter Áine.
Northern Ireland's first minister, Peter Robinson, was asked on Wednesday whether Gerry Adams has questions to answer following the conviction of his brother.
Mr Robinson expressed his sympathy to the victim, who, he said, "has waited so long for justice" and said it is up to the authorities to determine if anyone else has questions to answer.
He said he did not want to "make politics out of a very sad situation".
By the close of trade, Tokyo's Nikkei 225 index was down 0.9% at 16,498.76.
Shares in carmaker Nissan fell 0.8% as reports suggested the company might sell its stake in auto parts supplier Calsonic Kansei.
The sale would generate cash to help develop electric cars and artificial intelligence, the Nikkei newspaper reported.
Last month, Nissan took a 34% stake in Mitsubishi Motors to support the embattled company after it admitted falsifying fuel consumption figures.
Major foreign car parts makers, as well as US and European investment funds, appear to be interested in the stake, the Nikkei reported.
In China, the mainland Shanghai Composite index closed 0.8% lower at 2,821.67, while Hong Kong's Hang Seng ended flat at 19,830.43.
South Korea's Kospi index ended the trading day down 0.9% at 1,937.68.
In Australia, the ASX/200 closed 0.4% lower at 5,295.60.
Anil Vannavalli, 34, was waiting for a train at the Edison station in New Jersey on Friday when Madhuri Recherla, 26, fainted and fell onto the tracks.
He jumped on the track and pulled Ms Recherla back to safety, but somebody stole his backpack in the process.
Edison Police said the theft was "disgusting", and gifted $1,000 (£774) to the "Good Samaritan" on Tuesday.
"This theft, perpetrated in the midst of such a selfless good deed, seems so very disgusting and outrageous," Police Chief Thomas Bryan said in a statement.
Ms Recherla also thanked her colleague, adding that she fainted because she hadn't eaten anything.
Mr Vannavalli backpack contained his work laptop, headphones and $200 in cash.
Local media reported that the police were looking at surveillance video to find the thief.
It happened in St James Mews, off the Antrim Road, at about 21:00 BST on Sunday. Police said two men entered a house and attacked the victim.
Police are treating it as attempted murder.
ACC Stephen Martin told BBC Radio Ulster: "He has quite severe injuries, I think he has several fractures."
The officer appealed for anyone with information about the attack to come forward.
The Irish News has reported that the victim had been under threat from dissident republicans.
During his interview with Good Morning Ulster, ACC Martin was asked if the police investigation was focused on any particular group.
"It's early days, but what I would move to reassure people is, we don't at this stage see anything that would make us think it's a sectarian motivation," the officer replied.
"We have to condemn this type of activity. Seventeen years after the all-party agreement - the Good Friday Agreement - this type of behaviour is just unacceptable."
There has been a sharp rise in the use of so-called "cleaner fish" which push down the amount salmon producers have to spend on medicinal treatment.
The fish - mostly wrasse - are housed in salmon cages to attack and eat parasitic sea lice.
The industry insists it is now getting a grip on the sea lice problem.
But environmental groups fear a lack of regulatory safeguards to protect the wild wrasse could lead to them being over-fished.
Figures from the Scottish Salmon Producers' Organisation (SSPO) show that in 2016-17, £14m was spent on "biological" treatments for salmon, mainly through cleaner fish. The previous year the figure was £5.2m.
In contrast, the spend on controversial "medicinal" treatments fell from £18.5m in 2015-16 to £13.8m last year.
The overall spend on "fish health management" almost doubled from £26m to £49.4m.
Nick Underdown, from Open Seas, told BBC Scotland: "Wrasse is an incredibly slow-growing species that's slow to reproduce and recovers very slowly if it's over exploited.
"What we're seeing here is an unregulated fishery, poorly managed, that's being bankrolled by the salmon farming industry.
"It is perverse for the salmon farming industry to protect its own stock and exploit a wild fishery."
Efforts are under way for salmon farms to become fully reliant on farm-sourced wrasse, but because they are slow growing it is likely to take three years to meet demand.
BBC Scotland understands that about three million wrasse are needed to support the 60 million salmon produced in Scotland, but only about 600,000 come from farms.
The rest are caught in creels and transported to fish farms.
Scott Landsburgh, chief executive of the SSPO said: "We are taking steps to ensure [overfishing] won't be an issue. That's why we are introducing hatcheries to breed our own cleaner fish and a huge investment is going into that just now.
"We're introducing two new hatcheries in the next 12 months and we expect, in about three to four years, that we will not require any wild caught wrasse.
"For the time being, yes we are taking some but we are very considerate about it and we are not taking any juvenile fish and are not taking any brood stock. So it's a very controlled take of the fish from the fishery."
Open Seas has identified regulatory "loopholes" in the management of wild wrasse stocks which it wants to be closed.
The group said there had been no stock assessments for wrasse and there were no limits on how much could be fished.
A spokeswoman for the Scottish government said: "Scotland has a legislative and regulatory framework which balances growing aquaculture sustainably and protecting biodiversity and the environment on which aquaculture and wild fisheries depend.
"We are currently in the process of developing the framework for a viable sustainability project and anticipate we will be in a position to progress soon."
The industry has been relatively slow on the take-up of cleaner fish which are expensive and complicated to keep.
It requires fish farmers to maintain stocks of two different types of fish in the same cage rather than just one.
But Ralph Bickerdike, head of fish health at Scottish Sea Farms, describes the use of cleaner fish as "transformational".
He said: "We are now seeing the fruits of the investment that has taken place over the last few years.
"At the end of 2016 we had the lowest lice levels recorded for over three years which is a tremendous achievement and we look forward to that continuing." | Two whisky distilleries near Jedburgh have received unanimous support from councillors in the Borders.

Birmingham Children's Hospital was criticised eight years ago for having insufficient numbers of beds, operating theatres and trained staff.
But now the Care Quality Commission has praised the NHS trust for "working effectively to provide the best care".
The head of the hospital has paid tribute to her 3,700 staff.
I spent a day there to hear from patients, families and staff.
Seven-month-old Connor McCue was diagnosed with a rare liver condition at the age of 12 weeks.
He is recovering from his second transplant and sleeping peacefully on a large intensive care bed.
Connor's mother, Jess, turned 28 recently - and the children's hospital staff put up balloons and cards for her.
She told me: "We've nearly lost Connor several times in the last six weeks of being here - without them, we wouldn't have a child lying in this bed.
"While he is still quite poorly, we have every faith we'll get to take him home. That's the only thing you ask as the parent of a sick child."
Supporting the whole family, and helping young patients feel relaxed in a busy and daunting environment, are extra challenges for specialist children's hospitals.
In the busy outpatients clinic, Macey Hardcastle, five, who has a genetic condition called Stickler syndrome, has just had her hearing and sight checked.
She said: "I play so I don't get bored. I feel OK about coming here because I know it's going to be OK."
Another patient, Nyadhiel Nyoat, 12, told me: "I was with a doctor here a couple of weeks ago. It was very relaxed - he wasn't scary or anything.
"He actually helped me, and I felt confident to talk about some issues."
The emotional support given to bereaved parents has also been praised in Tuesday's report.
And families facing the worst of times, when a child needs end of life care, will now be able to use a new £1m unit within the hospital grounds, called Magnolia House.
Rachel Ollerenshaw, whose daughter Molly died from kidney cancer at the age of eight in 2011, has helped raise thousands of pounds for soft furnishings in the rooms, which have a show-home feel and some outdoor space.
She said: "When your child has a terminal illness and you're being given news about that, you feel you can't breathe sometimes and you need fresh air.
"You need a place where you can absorb the information. There wasn't anywhere like this in the existing building in Birmingham at that time - where you could just be together as a family."
Fiona Reynolds is the hospital's most senior doctor - and has spent 16 years at Birmingham Children's Hospital.
She says listening to the views of patients and staff, and acting on their ideas, has helped turn the trust around.
Dr Reynolds said: "It was a difficult time. Some of our specialist teams didn't have the right training and we weren't pulling together as a team.
"Since then we've used our beds more wisely, and co-ordinated our care in a more logical fashion, so we can look after more patients in around the same number of beds."
The inspectors say improvement is still needed in two significant areas, neonatal care and community mental health services.

In a stream of tweets, the Republican presidential nominee urged Americans to examine Alicia Machado's personal history and her "sex tape".
He implied his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton had secured US citizenship for Venezuelan-born Ms Machado.
In response, Mrs Clinton tweeted: "This is unhinged, even for Trump."

Ms Machado says she was called "Miss Piggy" by the Republican candidate for the White House when he owned the Miss Universe beauty pageant, after she put on weight following her 1996 title win. She also says he called her "Miss Housekeeping" because of her Latina heritage.
Her case was raised by Mrs Clinton in the first presidential debate earlier this week as an example of Mr Trump's attitude to women.
Donald Trump's unwise battles - or were they?
In his early-morning Twitter outburst, Mr Trump said Ms Machado had a "terrible" past that a "duped" Mrs Clinton had overlooked before holding her up "as an 'angel'".
He added: "Did Crooked Hillary help disgusting (check out sex tape and past) Alicia M become a US citizen so she could use her in the debate?"
In her Twitter response, Mrs Clinton asked: "What kind of man stays up all night to smear a woman with lies and conspiracy theories?"
She added: "When something gets under Donald's thin skin, he lashes out and can't let go. This is dangerous for a president."
Mr Trump later returned to Twitter - in the daytime - after news outlets had spent hours discussing his late night tirade.

The Associated Press news agency says Mr Trump's "sex tape" taunt appears to refer to footage from a Spanish reality show in 2005 in which Ms Machado appeared on camera in bed with a male contestant. The grainy images were posted this week to a newspaper's website.
In a statement on Instagram, Ms Machado said: "The Republican candidate and his team are again generating attacks, insults and trying to resurrect false allegations on my life. Their purpose is to intimidate me, humiliate me and tip me off balance. The attacks are slanders and lies full of bad intentions, with no basis.

Glamorgan are at the top of the southern group in both One-Day Cup and T20 Blast.
Their white-ball form contrasts with a winless six games in the four-day Championship.
"We need to get into a few finals," said Cooke.
"The aim is always to get into the knockout stages and we've laid a good foundation."
Glamorgan's only appearance on T20 Finals Day was in 2004 and they suffered a one-run defeat in the quarter-finals against Lancashire in 2014.
The county were runners-up to Nottinghamshire in the 2013 YB40 final, their third Lord's defeat in one-day tournaments.
No underdog status
Glamorgan have won their first two games in the 50-overs One-Day Cup, beating both Gloucestershire and Sussex by convincing margins, while they have two victories out of three in the T20 Blast.
"We've had a good few weeks in all formats and we are a good white-ball side now, we're not really the underdog that people think we are" Cooke told BBC Wales Sport.
The 30 year-old is also keeping wicket regularly after the omission of Mark Wallace from the limited-overs side.
"I'm getting back used to it, you're always in the game and the fifty overs seem to go a bit quicker than standing on the boundary" said Cooke.
Dramatic turnaround
The limited-overs success comes after a miserable run of Championship form, with Glamorgan at the bottom of division two after six games.
The upswing coincides with the return of South Africa batsman Colin Ingram, who was still impressed with the team's spirit as he watched from the sidelines with knee trouble.
"I think morale was pretty good all round, that's something that really struck me which was one of the team goals going into the season," Ingram said.
"Even after losing a couple of the bounce, morale was really good which was a positive because you can just focus on your cricket skills.
"No doubt this side's got a lot of characters, to turn it round in quick time has been outstanding and hopefully we can just keep it rolling on" Ingram enthused.

In a two-page memo, Jeff Sessions instructed US attorneys to "charge and pursue the most serious, readily provable offence".
He has vowed to crack down on violence and drugs at the Justice Department.
The move is a reversal of ex-President Barack Obama's policy to reduce jail time for low-level drug crimes.
"It means we are going to meet our responsibility to enforce the law with judgment and fairness," Mr Sessions said on Friday. "It is simply the right and moral thing to do."
The new criminal justice policy "ensures that the Department enforces the law fairly and consistently, advances public safety and promotes respect for our legal system", he said in a memo released to the public on Friday.
Mr Sessions' predecessor, Eric Holder, had instructed prosecutors in 2013 to avoid pursuing the maximum punishment for criminals in cases such as minor drug offences, which would have triggered mandatory minimum sentencing.
Mandatory minimum sentences laws, which were passed in the 1980s and 1990s as part of the US "war on drugs", prevent judges from applying discretion when sentencing certain drug offences and are instead determined by the quantity of drugs involved in the crime.
When President Trump first appointed Jeff Sessions to become the next attorney general, prison reform advocates feared that there would be a return to the old, tough-on-crime, war-on-drugs policies of the '80s and '90s. This directive is the beginning of the fulfilment of that prophecy.
Mandatory minimum sentences for non-violent drug crimes had fallen out of favour in the Obama-era and were criticised for being overly harsh with no proven positive impact on public safety. Efforts to undo draconian sentencing practices were backed by legislators on both sides of the aisle, one of the few issues both parties agreed on.
Barack Obama presided over the first decline in the federal prison population since the 1970s and used his power of executive clemency to free or reduce the 1,927 federal inmates, many for drugs charges.
In going back to old Bush-era sentencing policies, Sessions is essentially rejecting any notion that these practices disproportionately affect people of colour, crowded prisons and caused the modern era of mass incarceration, and are a drain on taxpayer resources. Reform advocates say Sessions is rekindling the failed "War on Drugs" - and Sessions himself points to the opioid epidemic as the reason he wants to reinstate aggressive sentencing.
Despite bipartisan support, Congress has failed to pass sentencing reform bills in the past, and it will be interesting to see if this move by the Trump Department of Justice reinvigorates that effort or completely stamps it out.
Mr Obama had sought to ease mandatory minimum sentences to reduce jail time for low-level drug crimes and help relieve overcrowded prisons in the US as part of criminal justice reform.
The 2013 policy also encouraged prosecutors to omit details about drug quantities in cases of non-violent offenders with no previous charges or ties to gangs or cartels to avoid harsher punishments.
Mr Sessions' guidance rescinds Mr Holder's approach, directing prosecutors to disclose all information about a case to the courts and follow current sentencing rules.
Prosecutors are also required to get approval first before seeking a different sentence.
Mr Sessions has argued an uptick in violence in US cities and the opioid epidemic underscores a need for tougher law enforcement.
"In 2015, more than 52,000 Americans died from a drug overdose," he said on Friday. "We intend to reverse this trend."
The dramatic shift is seen as part of President Donald Trump's tough campaign rhetoric to crack down on criminals and boost law enforcement.

About 70 farmers took two of their cattle into Asda, in Queensway, Stafford at about 12:30 BST to clear milk from the shelves, police said.
Shopper Adam Williams said "staff looked on in amazement", as the cows moved to the back of the store, "creating mess as they walked".
Farmers want the price of milk paid to them by supermarkets to be increased.
Supermarkets say there is no link between the price of milk on the shelves and what farmers are paid.
Stafford farmer Matthew Weaver, 38, said: "We needed something that would catch people's attention and be a bit of fun."
Mr Weaver said farmers had come from Derbyshire, Shropshire and Warwickshire to take part in the protest. They were also planning to visit a Lidl store in Stafford and an Asda in Wolstanton.

The loss led to the resignation of Zamalek coach Mohamed Helmi, while captain Hazem Emam has been suspended over an altercation with a team member.
Zamalek chairman accepted Helmi's resignation and has appointed Mohamed Salah as interim coach.
An own-goal from Zamalek's Ali Gabr in the 79th minute secured Sundowns' qualification to complete a remarkable turnaround for the South Africans in the Champions League.
Sundowns had been eliminated in the final qualifying round for the Champions League last April by AS Vita Club from the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Demoted to the second-tier Confederation Cup, Sundowns were beaten by Medeama of Ghana in a play-off to suffer further African disappointment.
But on the eve of the June draw for the Champions League groups, the organisers kicked out Vita Club for using a banned player and Sundowns were reinstated.
The victory over Zamalek puts Sundowns top of Group B on nine points - six ahead of Zamalek in second.
We still have to do the business
"The gap is getting closer and closer between us and the north Africans," Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane said after the win.
But he cautioned that Sundowns' hard work could come to nothing if they fail to win the title.
"There's a little bit of bragging rights in beating Zamalek, but we still have to do the business," he said.
Bottom side Enyimba of Nigeria are yet to register a point after two matches in this group which is reduced to three teams following Entente Setif's disqualification.
Enyimba and Zamalek play in the final round of group matches to decide which of them will join Sundowns in the last four.
In Group A, Wydad Casablanca of Morocco and Zesco United of Zambia also had the chance to secure semi-finals places if they both won their matches on Wednesday.
However, Zesco United were held to a draw away to Asec Mimosas in Abidjan to open up the group and keep ASEC's faint hopes of progressing alive.
Asec piled on the pressure on Zesco with a 75th minute strike from Nabi Kone, but the visitors responded five minutes later with an equaliser from Jackson Mwanza.
The result left Zesco level on seven points with leaders Wydad Casablanca who were beaten at home by bottom-of-the-table Al Ahly of Egypt in the late match.
Asec are a further three points behind.
Ahly had managed just one point from their first three games but Rami Rabia's goal early in the second half in Morocco gave them a fine away win.
Ahly play Zesco and Asec take on Wydad in the final round of matches, so all four teams from Group A still have hopes of going through to the last four.
The car pulled up outside a dusty farmhouse near the capital of the southern Indian state of Karnataka and suddenly dogs were everywhere, yelping and barking, jumping with joy.
Within seconds, they were all over Rakesh Shukla, nuzzling him and licking him, and Mr Shukla was as delighted to see them. He spoke to them, patted some, scratched one behind the ears, and lofted another onto his shoulder.
Then he gave me a tour of his three and a half acre farm. At last count, Mr Shukla had 735 dogs.
There are Labradors on the farm, there are Golden Retrievers, Great Danes, Beagles, Dachshunds, Rottweilers, Saint Bernards and even a pug. There are hundreds of mongrels too.
Most of the dogs are strays, the others have been abandoned by their owners. The latest arrivals was a group of 22 pedigreed dogs whose owner, a city businessman, was shot dead recently by criminals.
Geeta Pandey recently spent 10 days working on a series of stories in Bangalore. This is her fourth report. You can find the other reports here:

"I'm the last stop for these dogs. They are no longer cute and cuddly. Many are sick and no longer wanted," said Mr Shukla, 45.
Affectionately known as the "Dog Father", he calls the dogs his babies and him their "papa".
Mr Shukla, who founded a software company along with his wife 10 years ago, spends three to four days every week on the farm, taking care of his canines.
"I had worked in Delhi, in the United States and then set up my own company in Bangalore," he said. "Life was all about buying big cars and expensive watches and living a fancy life. I had travelled and seen the world many times over, but then I was not happy."
Then Kavya came into his life: a beautiful 45-day-old Golden Retriever that he fell hopelessly in love with. It was in June 2009, and Mr Shukla remembers clearly the day he brought her home.
"When we got home, she went and hid in a corner. I got down to her level on the floor and I was calling out to her. She was looking at me, she was scared, but I could see she wanted to trust me," he said.
"And that's when the moment happened - it was a physical feeling, my hair was tingling, I could feel a warm glow. And I've never needed to ask myself that question - 'why am I here?' - again after that."
Mr Shukla's second dog, Lucky, came to him three months later when he rescued her from the streets. "It had been raining for 12-13 days, she was wet and miserable, so I brought her home too," he said.
Over the coming days and weeks, whenever he met a stray or abandoned dog, he brought it home. Initially he kept them there but when his wife protested, he moved some of them to the office, where the top floor was turned into a home for dogs.
In 2012, as the pack grew, Mr Shukla bought land in Doddballapur town and set up the farm - a haven for dogs that are old, ailing or simply unwanted.
The farm is designed for its canine residents, with lots of open spaces for them to run around and ponds to swim in, and there's double fencing to keep them safe.
Every time we entered an enclosure, a cacophony of barks greeted us.
The farm employs about 10 people, including trained veterinary assistants, to look after the dogs, cook for them and feed them. The dogs are fed 200kg of chicken and another 200kg of rice daily and many of the sick ones need regular medicines and attention.
The daily cost of running the centre is 45,000 to 50,000 rupees ($663; £532 to $737; £592), according to Mr Shukla, who said he provided 93% of the funds.
In the past year though, he has run into problems with some animal activists, who have demanded that they be allowed onto the farm. He has also faced complaints that he is creating public unrest by keeping so many dogs. There have also been demands that he shut down the farm.
He has refused to concede.
"I've made a pact with my dogs," he said. "We will part only when one of us kicks the bucket."
No-one has actually seen the planet yet, but scientists believe that it almost definitely exists, because they can see other objects in space being affected by it.
Here are nine things we know about the mysterious 'Planet Nine':
Scientists think that Planet Nine is 10 times bigger than our own planet Earth.
Of all the planets in our solar system, we used to think that Neptune was the furthest away. But now it looks like Planet Nine could be 20 times further away than Neptune!
Because it is so far from the sun, Planet Nine has a really long orbit. Every loop it does around the Sun takes between 10,000 and 20,000 years.
Scientists could tell that Planet Nine existed, because it's gravity was affecting rocky objects in space which circle around the planet Neptune.
Planet Nine could be the 'real' ninth planet - scientists used to think that Pluto was the ninth planet in our solar system, until they downgraded it to a 'dwarf planet' ten years ago.
The discovery of Planet Nine is the first time in 150 years that scientists have had solid evidence that there are more planets in our solar system than we already knew about.
This could change scientists' understanding of how the whole solar system was made.
Although there hasn't ever been evidence this strong before, people have wondered about an ninth planet for centuries.
Some people, including UFO enthusiasts have even written about a mythical 'Planet X'.
Although they can't be sure until the planet it actually found, scientists say that the evidence is really strong, and there's only a 0.007% chance (about one in 15,000) that the ninth planet doesn't exist.
Until scientists actually see the planet, they can't confirm its existence for sure.
The scientist who claims to have found evidence for Planet Nine, Dr Mike Brown, says that there are many telescopes on Earth that could be good enough to see it.
He said that he hopes the announcement will encourage astronomers around the world to get involved in the search.
The Liberal Democrats lost two seats, as well as its group leader, while Labour lost one of its four seats and UKIP lost its only one.
Turnout for the county-wide vote was nearly 40%, the council confirmed.
Meanwhile, Labour won two of the three controversial new parish councils in Swindon.
Election 2017: Full results from across England
The Conservatives gained seven seats to hold more than two-thirds of the Wiltshire Council chamber, while the Lib Dems now hold 20, Independents seven and Labour three.
Lib Dem opposition leader Glenis Ansell lost her seat in Calne North to the Tories, but her party did have the satisfaction of winning Melksham Central from UKIP.
Gavin Grant, the Lib Dem councillor for Malmesbury, said it was "desperately sad" to lose Glenis Ansell, but added: "It's very noticeable in areas that voted Remain in last year's referendum we are performing extremely strongly and are well placed to challenge Brexiteer Conservatives."
Baroness Jane Scott, the current Conservative council leader, said the Tories had "started to make inroads into the market towns".
"I've been a councillor for over 20 years and those market towns for a long, long time were dominated by the Liberal Democrats," she said.
"We're just beginning now to really change that, quite considerably, and that's quite important because we don't want a spilt county - rural and urban - we want a totally united county."
In Swindon, Labour won two of three new parish councils created to save borough council funds.
Labour took majorities in the North Central and South Central councils, with the Conservatives winning in West Swindon.
The creation of parish councils was controversial as the Conservative-run borough council created them to transfer the cost of services such as grass cutting and street cleaning.
Critics said the changes were not wanted and would result in council taxpayers paying more.
The 'Girls' team, of Emma-Jayne Wilson, Sammy Jo Bell and Hayley Turner, claimed three of the six races.
Bell clocked up a 55-1 double to collect the Alistair Haggis Silver Saddle for top rider and Wilson also won in the event, first run in 1999.

"This is definitely the best day of my career," said Bell.
Canadian Wilson added: "We did it, we nailed it - we got the job done. It's a team effort, but Sammy had an absolute rock star day.
"I hope that shuts up the doubters. Sammy did a brilliant job as an apprentice on the day and Hayley is the flagship female jockey in this country."
The 24-year-old Northern Irish apprentice rider, the first woman to be Shergar Cup leading jockey, was called up as a late replacement for the injured Cathy Gannon.
Watched by a 30,000 crowd, the women saw off some of the sport's top male jockeys.
The Rest of the World team - including Melbourne Cup-winning rider Kerrin McEvoy - finished second in the competition, with Great Britain and Ireland third and Europe trailing in last.
Bell's honour for leading rider was named this year after Haggis, the PR expert who first floated the idea of an all-female team and died in November 2014 after a battle with Motor Neurone Disease.
She won aboard Shell Bay, trained by Richard Hannon, in the Shergar Cup Classic after earlier scoring in the stayers' race with Royal Signaller, for Michael Appleby.

Judge Aaron Persky asked to be moved to Santa Clara County court's civil division after imposing the sentence on Brock Turner, 20, an official said.
Mr Persky's decision was widely criticised as too lenient.
The case sparked outrage fuelled by the victim's powerful impact statement.
Mr Persky received death threats, faced a recall effort and several online petitions seeking his removal in the wake of the case.
"Judge Persky believes the change will aid the public and the court by reducing the distractions that threaten to interfere with his ability to effectively discharge the duties of his current criminal assignment," Santa Clara County Presiding Judge Rise Jones Pichon said in a statement.
The move will take effect on 6 September.
Prosecutors said that in January 2015, Turner had been seen by two witnesses sexually assaulting the woman, who was lying on the ground, unconscious, on the Stanford campus. She was 22 at the time.
They said Turner had tried to run away when challenged by the witnesses, but the pair had tackled him and held him until police officers arrived.
Prosecutors had asked for a six-year jail term. But in his remarks, the judge said he was concerned about the "severe impact" a longer sentence would have on Turner's life.
He also said positive character references and Turner's remorse and lack of previous criminal record were mitigating factors.
Rights activists and members of the general public accused Mr Persky of being influenced by Turner's upbringing in a wealthy, white family, and his achievements as a college swimmer.
Turner, who was a promising swimmer expected to compete for the US at Olympic level, has been banned for life by USA Swimming, the governing body for professional swimming in the US.
Nigeria went into the second match of their group knowing a win would be enough to go through to the last four.
At half-time they were on target for the victory, leading 2-0 thanks to two penalties from Etebo Oghenekaro who scored from the spot in the 20th minute and then again ten minutes later.
But Egypt came out fighting after the break, scoring twice in five minutes to level proceedings.
Ramadan Sobhi Ahmed started the comeback with a goal in the 46th minute to make it 2-1.
Egypt then levelled the match thanks to a Mamdouh El Sayed strike in the 51st minute to keep their hopes of progressing alive ahead of the final round of Group B fixtures.
Earlier, Algeria boosted their hopes of qualifying for next year's Olympics with a 2-0 win over Mali in Wednesday's first Group B match.
Mali were the better side for long periods, but the loss means they cannot now advance to the semi-finals.
The deadlock was broken in the 73rd minute when Algerian substitutes Oussama Darfalou and Bentahar Meziane set up a tap-in for Zinedine Ferhat.
A deflected shot from Zakaria Draoui sealed the win 10 minutes later.
Algeria move onto four points, ahead of their final group match against Nigeria on Saturday, while Mali are still to register a point.
Egypt's final match in the group is on Saturday against Mali.
The top three from the tournament will claim places at the men's football tournament at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio.
Chris Reid of Security Search Management & Solutions Ltd (SSMS) said he wrongly logged the item as found on Wednesday.
The bomb scare led to the postponement of Sunday's match against Bournemouth.
The club said the device could not have been detected by sniffer dogs because it did not contain explosives.
Old Trafford was evacuated and the match called off after the device was found in one of the toilet blocks.
Mr Reid said he had marked the "mock up of a pipe bomb" as recovered as he had "a similar item which had not been used" in his bag.
He said he was "absolutely gutted" that a lapse in protocol had "resulted in many people being disappointed, frightened and inconvenienced".
"The mistake is entirely mine, I have to take full responsibility."
He added the device left behind had a small white label with "training aid" written on it and it was not concealed.
The dummy bomb was initially described by police as an "incredibly lifelike explosive device". It was destroyed in a controlled explosion.
Speaking outside his home in Biggin Hill, south-east London, retired Scotland Yard police officer Mr Reid said: "To say I am sorry doesn't seem adequate, but I am.
"There was something found, they dealt with it in the way they should have done. Whether they should have found it earlier is another issue."
The entire 75,000-seat stadium was cleared and the match was called off, the first time in 24 years that a Premier League match had been abandoned on security grounds.
Manchester United's executive vice chairman Ed Woodward said the device "could not have been detected by sniffer dogs on the routine match day search of the 100 Club as it contained no explosives".
He added: "Once a live situation was identified, the club and police had no option but to treat the matter as a potential terror threat; we could not have assumed it was a training exercise error.
"Presented with the same situation in the future, we would take the same action."
Calls have been made for an inquiry into Sunday's events.
Greater Manchester Police and Crime Commissioner Tony Lloyd earlier said: "This fiasco caused massive inconvenience to supporters who had come from far and wide to watch the match, wasted the time of huge numbers of police officers and the Army's bomb squad, and unnecessarily put people in danger, as evacuating tens of thousands of people from a football stadium is not without risk.
"Whilst this in no way demeans the professionalism of the police and stewards responsible for getting the fans out, or the supporters' calmness and co-operation during the evacuation, it is unacceptable that it happened in the first place."
Newcastle-under-Lyme and Stafford colleges merged last year, forming the Newcastle and Stafford Colleges Group (NSCG).
The group said funding cuts and lower student numbers in Stafford meant savings were needed.
A review will also examine look at subjects which "are no longer financially sustainable".
NSCG is due to consult with unions over the plans, which have yet to comment.
More on this and other stories from Stoke and Staffordshire
NSCG principal and chief executive Karen Dobson said "significant investment" in student facilities and resources had already been provided to improve Stafford College, but "difficult decisions" have to be made.
"Job cuts to ensure an efficient support staffing structure are an unfortunate but necessary action that we have to take to bring the financial stability needed to allow for ongoing investment in our students, curriculum and facilities," she said.
"We are looking to ensure the effect on front-line teaching staff is minimal."
Chris Jordan had Adam Ball caught for a duck as the hosts were reduced to 2-1.
But Dickson (81) and Denly (78) shared a 162-run second-wicket partnership before the former was caught at backward point off Stu Whittingham.
Whittingham dismissed Denly after tea but Northeast's unbeaten 75 saw the home side close on 310-3.
A woman was attacked between 02:00 BST and 03:30 on 23 August at the junction of Pink Lane and Waterloo Street, Northumbria Police said.
The victim had been at the O2 Academy on Westgate Road.
Police said they believe the pictured man was in the area at the time and may be able to help them with their inquiries.
Antonio Christie and Levi Walker were part of a group convicted in 2008 over the murder of Kevin Nunes.
All five were cleared following an appeal in 2012.
Staffordshire Police confirmed a claim has been made against the force but said it could not comment any further on the case.
More on this and other stories from Stoke and Staffordshire
A police investigation was launched after the body of 20-year-old Mr Nunes was found in a country lane in Pattingham, Staffordshire in 2002.
The Court of Appeal overturned the original convictions in 2012 after Lord Justice Hooper said a "very bad case of non-disclosure" over the credibility of a witness led to "what appears to us to be a serious perversion of the course of justice".
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) then launched an investigation into the conduct of current Staffordshire Chief Constable Jane Sawyers, Gloucestershire Chief Constable Suzette Davenport, West Midlands Assistant Chief Constable Marcus Beale and Adrian Lee, who retired as chief constable of Northamptonshire Police in 2015.
All four served with Staffordshire Police at the time of the investigation.
In March it was confirmed they would not face misconduct hearings over claims they failed to declare evidence in relation to the shooting, with the watchdog saying it found "no evidence of a cover-up or of wilful omission".
The IPCC said two detective constables were found to have a case to answer for misconduct, with one given management advice and the other retiring on health grounds.
The 27-year-old joined the club on loan from Liverpool in January.
However, he has helped Palace win five games in those eight league games as the Eagles attempt to secure Premier League survival.
They are four points above the relegation zone with two games left and face third-bottom Hull on Sunday.
Sakho could miss the rest of the season though after suffering a knee injury in a defeat by Tottenham.
Palace have since also lost to Burnley and Manchester City.
Christian Benteke, Yohan Cabaye, Jason Puncheon, Andros Townsend and Wilfried Zaha are Palace's other player of the year contenders.
Atletico scored a potentially valuable away goal when Fernando Torres blasted in a clinical first-time shot.
But the game turned when Torres was sent off before half-time for two needless bookings inside seven minutes.
Holders Barca upped the tempo after the break, Suarez prodding in the equaliser then powerfully heading in the winner.
However, the Uruguayan had been fortunate not to be shown a first-half red card for kicking out at Atletico right-back Juanfran.
The teams will meet again in the second leg at the Vicente Calderon next Wednesday.
Torres, 32, has failed to rediscover anything like prolific form since returning to boyhood club Atletico - but his goal here was arguably the most important of his second spell.
The former Liverpool and Chelsea striker showed the clinical edge which characterised the early part of his career as he latched on to Koke's defence-splitting pass to fire in through Barca keeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen's legs.
However, his side's tactical masterplan - grab the away goal and sit tight - was blown apart by his dismissal.
Torres was shown his first yellow card for clipping Barca forward Neymar, then saw red moments later when he needlessly clattered into the back of midfielder Sergio Busquets close to the halfway line.
Atletico manager Diego Simeone was incensed by the decision of German referee Felix Brych, who upset Los Rojiblancos by sending off Arda Turan in their Champions League quarter-final defeat by Real Madrid last season.
And the Argentine may well believe his team were the victim of a further injustice when the official seemingly missed Suarez lashing out at Juanfran near the dead-ball line.
"I can't say what I think, but I am not angry with Fernando for sure," said Simeone.
Eleven men behind the ball when not in possession, staying compact and narrow to limit the home side's space - Barca knew exactly the tactics Atletico would employ.
But the Catalan team were powerless to stop Atletico's stubborn effectiveness in the opening hour.
Atletico wanted to frustrate Barca, refusing to allow the home side to play their free-flowing football in a relatively comfortable first half capped by Torres' opener.
After the break, the hosts showed more urgency - and the intense pressure finally told.
Neymar curled the ball against the bar and missed another gilt-edged header, while Filipe Luis's superb last-ditch challenge stopped Lionel Messi pouncing to convert a loose ball.
Eventually they found a way through.
Suarez, who had been kept relatively quiet by Uruguay team-mate Diego Godin, instinctively diverted in Jordi Alba's mis-hit shot, then generated remarkable power to head in Dani Alves' pinpoint cross.
Barcelona came into the match on the back of Saturday's 2-1 home defeat by arch-rivals Real Madrid, a loss that ended the Catalan side's 39-match unbeaten run.
And Atletico appeared to take plenty of encouragement from their neighbours' win at the Nou Camp.
However, the numerical advantage after Torres' dismissal allowed Barca to secure their seventh successive win against Simeone's team.
The Spanish champions have beaten Atletico in both La Liga matches this season, helping them move six points clear of their opponents.
Now Barca appear to be the slight favourites to reach the semi-finals as they attempt to become the first club to win back-to-back Champions League titles.
Barcelona manager Luis Enrique: "We must appreciate the difficulty in playing against Atletico. With this attitude and these players we will go to the end of the world."
Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone: "Beyond the inequality there was in the match, we leave with a situation that allows us to have hope.
"I am very happy with my team. Once again, we started winning, we were doing very well."

Community assets in England must all be kept on a list by councils who give local groups first refusal if they are sold.
But ministers want to develop an approach "better suited" to Wales.
Critics say they cannot understand the decision.
Under the Localism Act, councils in England keep a register of "assets of community value".
These could include libraries, playing fields and shops.
If they come up for sale, community groups or parish councils are given a six month window to put together a bid to buy them on behalf of local people.
There is a scheme in Scotland too.
The Welsh government's communities minister had been considering enacting the legislation in Wales but last month she decided against the idea because she wants to spend time developing "an approach which is better suited to the Welsh context".
In a statement, Lesley Griffiths told the BBC Sunday Politics Wales that the resource requirements could not be underestimated "including the need for adequate provision for monitoring and evaluation".
Ms Griffiths also said she was mindful "of the legislative time pressures on the Welsh government currently" and she's concerned there could be "unrealistic expectations public funding will be provided to enable community organisations to purchase assets".
Tim Hartley, a director of Supporters Direct, has been helping community groups in England to have sports grounds and stadia listed as assets of community value since the Localism Act came into force.
Mr Hartley told the BBC Sunday Politics Wales: "This is not expensive, it's not a hassle.
"I don't understand why the Welsh government won't bring in these elements of the Localism Act which will allow communities across Wales not only to safeguard but also to take ownership of these assets which they've been playing on for years and years."
Mr Hartley said listing sports grounds and pitches as community assets made "absolute sense" when councils were cutting back on their budgets.
Mick Antoniw, Labour AM for Pontypridd said he was disappointed but had received some assurance from the minister that she was going to look at a "more effective and better way of supporting community trusts".
Ms Griffiths said the government "greatly values the contribution key community facilities" but conceded it was unlikely any new approach will be implemented before the next Assembly elections in 2016.
Sunday Politics Wales is broadcast on BBC One Wales at 12:25 GMT on Sunday 9 November
Wei Zhongping and Liu Ping, associated with the New Citizens' Movement, were given six-and-a-half years in jail. A third activist, Li Sihua, received a shorter sentence.
Rights group Amnesty International said the charges were "preposterous".
China's leaders are running a crackdown on corruption, but refuse to tolerate grassroots groups with similar aims.
The three activists were detained after taking photographs with banners urging officials to disclose their assets.
They were put on trial in a high-security court in Xinyu, Jiangxi province, late last year.
At the time, defence lawyers complained of serious procedural problems and said they were not confident of the outcome.
The three were convicted of the broad charge of "creating a disturbance".
Liu and Wei were convicted of other charges, which Amnesty said included "gathering a crowd to disrupt order in a public place" and "using an evil cult to undermine law enforcement".
"The charges against these activists were preposterous from the very beginning," said Amnesty's William Nee.
The UK-based rights group described them as "prisoners of conscience" and called for their immediate release.
Chinese leader Xi Jinping launched an anti-corruption drive when he took over in 2012.
But he has also overseen the broadest crackdown on grassroots activism that China has seen in recent years.
Several activists in the New Citizens' Movement, which calls for more democracy and government transparency, have been detained.
In July last year, prominent lawyer Xu Zhiyong, one of the founders of the movement, was detained on suspicion of having "gathered crowds to disrupt public order".
He was eventually jailed for four years in January.

The Gunners beat the non-league side 5-0 at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday to reach the FA Cup semi-finals.
It came after they lost 5-1 to Bayern Munich at the same ground on Tuesday.
"We have been short of confidence after some disappointing results recently," said Wenger.
"When the confidence was there in the second half, our quality came back.
"It was all us in the second half but you have to congratulate Lincoln for what they have achieved in the FA Cup."
It was a much-needed win for Wenger after a difficult couple of weeks.
Arsenal had lost five of their seven games prior to the visit of the Imps - including 5-1 defeats home and away to Bayern Munich and a 3-1 loss to Liverpool in the Premier League.
Wenger's long-term future at Arsenal is uncertain, with his contract due to expire this summer, and there were protests calling for the Frenchman to step down prior to Saturday's game.
Arsenal initially looked nervous against Lincoln before Theo Walcott opened the scoring just before half-time.
"We were a bit nervous because your confidence drops when you don't have the results," added Wenger.
"The team was unjustifiably criticised for our last game against Bayern Munich because we had an outstanding game.
"The game was killed not by the fault of the players but we have to look at the bigger perspective.
"Overall, we had to respond and that's what we did."

The defeat for Lincoln brought to an end their historic FA Cup run, in which they became the first non-league side in 103 years to reach the quarter-finals.
Around 9,000 fans made the trip south to cheer Lincoln on and boss Danny Cowley praised their "world class" support.
"We need to learn from this journey, not just from today but this journey," he said.
"And if we can really, really learn and take something from playing against world-class players then we will be better footballers and players as a result."
"I did our fans a massive disservice in the week because I said they were Premier League. They were much, much better than that.
"You saw world-class players play today in the Arsenal team but you also heard and witnessed world-class supporters because that's how good they were."
Former Arsenal and England defender Martin Keown on Match of the Day
Lincoln revitalised the FA Cup, their run was magical. Arsenal came in wounded, there was a lack of confidence early on, but the goal just before half-time was perfect and settled them down. Them needing that goal to settle them down was some compliment to Lincoln, but the Gunners played with a swagger in the second half. Still, Lincoln can hold their heads very high.

A National League team getting to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup? It is a fantastic achievement. I am sure everyone at the club will be so proud, and it doesn't happen by accident. They kept Arsenal at bay for 45 minutes.
The players and fans will remember it for the rest of their lives.

Trott won the scratch race for GB's first gold of the event, beating Netherlands rider Kirsten Wild.
Australia dramatically beat Britain's men's pursuit team in the final.
But Becky James put three years of injury problems behind her with a bronze for GB in the keirin race.
The 2013 double world champion finished behind Germany's Kristina Vogel, while Australia's Anna Meares took silver.
Despite missing out on gold, Wiggins said he would "put my house" on GB claiming the Olympic title in Rio this August.
With five laps remaining, the double Olympic champion seemed out of contention in the scratch race but held her nerve to win a sixth career World Championship gold.
"When I was in the race I wasn't feeling that good," said Trott. "But it worked out perfectly for me. I'm so happy. I let everybody get on with it and raced my own race."

The 23-year-old's victory softened the blow she and her team-mates suffered in the women's team pursuit earlier in the afternoon. A ragged ride in qualifying means the quartet can finish no better than third on Friday.
Trott, Elinor Barker, Ciara Horne and Joanna Rowsell Shand clocked four minutes 21.034 seconds, the fifth-fastest time in qualifying.
It is usually an event Britain can bank on for success, winning six of the previous eight world titles, but they can now only ride off for bronze. The USA qualified fastest, followed by Canada, New Zealand and Australia.

In the men's team pursuit, Wiggins, Ed Clancy, Owain Doull and Jon Dibben dragged themselves back into contention after a blistering start from Australia, but lost by 1.129 seconds to their perennial rivals.
In the final track competition before the Olympics, the victory is a psychological boost for the Australians.
But the return of Clancy - the team's strongest rider and a man Wiggins sees as "irreplaceable" - is a positive for GB.
Twelve weeks ago, Clancy was unable to walk after back surgery and his astonishing recovery led team-mate Doull to describe him as a "freak of nature".
Wiggins still believes GB can win in Rio, saying: "I'll put my house on it, I'll say we'll win in Rio now. I'm confident and I just think we will.
"Look at our efforts individually from Christmas to where we are now. We've come on leaps and bounds and I think we'll move on again for Rio."
Olympic champion Chris Boardman, summarising for BBC Sport, said: "It was a fast time by both teams, but the Australians were just consistent all the way through and had that extra depth.
"I was pleased with the way Britain managed their problems, but it wasn't enough."

Welsh rider James, 23, had wondered whether she would ride again after a series of injuries and a cancer scare.
So progressing to the final in London was deemed a success for the 2013 double world champion.
She rode astutely to finish behind favourite Vogel, who won her seventh world title, and reigning Olympic champion Meares.
"It just doesn't feel real, I'm just over the moon to be back," said James. "I've seen improvements week in week out and managed to pull it out today."
Sir Chris Hoy said her performance "was the best she could have hoped for".
The winner of six Olympic golds and BBC Sport cycling expert added: "She didn't have the form, she hung in there, defended well and didn't panic."
Three routes would be opened and a fourth for armed rebels, Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said.
Syria's president has also offered an amnesty for rebels laying down arms and surrendering within three months.
Government forces have encircled Aleppo, cutting off rebel-held areas and severing all supply routes.
The offensive has been aided by Russian air power.
Rebel forces fighting the government of President Bashar al-Assad have held eastern parts of the city for the past four years.
The story of the Syrian conflict
Aleppo: City facing its last gasp?
The UN has warned of a critical situation for about 300,000 people still there.
UN humanitarian chief Stephen O'Brien said on Monday that "food supplies are expected to run out in mid-August and many medical facilities continue to be attacked".
Mr Shoigu described the corridors as a "large-scale humanitarian operation".
He said the move was "first and foremost to ensure the safety of Aleppo residents".
The three corridors for civilians and unarmed fighters would have medical posts and food handouts, Mr Shoigu said, adding that he would welcome the co-operation of international aid organisations.
The fourth, in the direction of Castello Road, would be for armed militants, although Mr Shoigu complained that the US had not supplied information about how the rebel Free Syrian Army units it supports had separated from jihadist al-Nusra fighters.
Reports on Thursday said that government forces had taken control of more areas of the city, in the Bani Zeid neighbourhood.
Mr Assad's amnesty offer came in a decree issued on Thursday, the state-run Sana news agency reported.
"Everyone carrying arms... and sought by justice... is excluded from full punishment if they hand themselves in and lay down their weapons," it quoted the decree as saying.
There have been several presidential amnesty offers in recent years.
Throughout the five years of Syria's war, aid agencies have pleaded for humanitarian access - usually in vain. Only under intense international pressure has the regime allowed a limited number of aid convoys to reach areas under siege. But now, with the rebels surrounded in Aleppo, the Syrian government may feel it can afford to appear magnanimous.
The announcement has taken many by surprise but may be modelled on a ceasefire agreement last year in Homs.
That deal allowed starving rebels to leave, ceding control of the city to the government. Winning back Aleppo - Syria's biggest city - would be a huge prize for the government. But so far there are no signs of fighters leaving the city. Rebels and civilians alike have reacted to the initiative with intense distrust.
Last week US Secretary of State John Kerry held marathon talks in Moscow with Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
They agreed "concrete steps" on tackling jihadists in Syria and on trying to reach an effective ceasefire, although proposals have not been made public.
More than 280,000 people have been killed and millions displaced since the Syrian conflict began in March 2011.
A survey by industry body Scottish Engineering suggested recruitment and output was down, while orders were static.
It found exports were suffering from sterling's strength against the euro.
The report also indicated weak domestic demand was pushing down prices.
On a more positive note, the survey suggested the displacement of staff from the oil and gas sector had helped to ease long-standing skills shortages across the central belt.
Scottish Engineering chief executive Bryan Buchan said: "This is not a total panacea, as a number of companies which provide sub-contract services to the oil and gas sector are themselves recording a drop in orders.
"But it is allowing us some degree of hope for the future."
Reviews of their surgery are now being carried out after complaints were made about the surgeon based at Royal Stoke University Hospital.
The unnamed medic has been barred from seeing patients since January.
The Royal College of Surgeons (RCS) is also carrying out an investigation.
University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust said the operations under review concerned breast reconstruction or risk reduction surgery.
Patients affected have been written to this week to inform them, the trust said in a statement.

The hospital's Breast Care Team first raised concerns over the consultant's practices in December 2015.
Trust chief executive Robert Courteney-Harris expressed his "sincere regret and apologies to any patients who may have received a standard of care that is below that expected".
"We took immediate action as soon as serious concerns about specific aspects of this consultant's practice were brought to our attention," he added.
"We are undertaking an internal investigation to examine these concerns and establish the full facts and we have also sought the expert opinion of the Royal College of Surgeons."
A spokeswoman for the RCS said its experts would "determine whether there is cause for concern and to make early recommendations for improvement".
"Through this work we enable surgical teams to achieve and maintain the highest standards of surgical practice and patient care," she added.

The ban in Villeneuve-Loubet "seriously and clearly illegally breached fundamental freedoms", it found.
The ruling could set a precedent for up to 30 other towns that imposed bans on their beaches, chiefly on the Riviera.
At least three mayors have already said they will keep the bans in their towns.
The court will make a final decision later on the bans' legality.
Correspondents in France say the court's decision means that all the bans on burkinis are likely now to be overturned,
But town hall authorities in Nice and Frejus, as well as in the Corsican village of Sisco, have vowed to keep the bans in place.
Nice saw a devastating attack by a follower of so-called Islamic State in July while Sisco witnessed clashes this month between villagers and Muslim bathers.
A human rights group, the Human Rights League (LDH), and an anti-Islamophobia association (CCIF), brought the ban in Villeneuve-Loubet to the court's attention.
Patrice Spinosi, a lawyer for the LDH, said outside court that people who had been fined could claim their money back.
But the town's mayor, Lionnel Luca, said: "We need to decide if we want a smiley, friendly version of sharia law on our beaches or if we want the rules of the [French] Republic to be implemented."
Amnesty International welcomed the court's decision. The human rights group's Europe director, John Dalhuisen, said it had "drawn a line in the sand".
He said: "French authorities must now drop the pretence that these measures do anything to protect the rights of women.
"These bans do nothing to increase public safety but do a lot to promote public humiliation."
On Thursday, Prime Minister Manuel Valls described the burkini as "a political sign of religious proselytising".
The French Republic was "not at war with Islam", he argued, but "protecting [Muslims] against discrimination".
The burkini bans have ignited fierce debate in France and worldwide.
Opinions polls suggested most French people backed the bans, which town mayors said were protecting public order and secularism.
Muslims said they were being targeted unfairly.
The "burkini bans" actually make no mention of the burkini.
The rules simply say beachwear must be respectful of good public manners and the principle of secularism.
The controversy intensified after pictures and video of police appearing to enforce the ban by making a woman take off an item of clothing prompted widespread anger.
The court said local authorities did not have the power to restrict individual liberties in this way without "proven risk" to public order.
After a militant Islamist ploughed a lorry into families on the seafront at Nice on 14 July, killing 86 people, the city's authorities said a ban was "a necessity".
Local leaders have described their actions as appropriate and proportionate.
But the bans are not just a response to a spate of deadly jihadist attacks on French soil. France has long-standing laws on secularism, and the Nice ban focused on "correct dress, respectful of accepted customs and secularism, as well as rules of hygiene and of safety in public bathing areas".
The 28-year-old South Korean international has been out since January because of a knee injury.
Winger Jefferson Montero is also set to return having been sidelined since Boxing Day with a hamstring injury.
Defender Kyle Naughton will miss Saturday's game because of a hamstring injury.
Naughton's injury is not as bad as first feared and the 28-year-old should be back for the following game against Bournemouth.
It comes after the collapse of BHS this year and criticism of his decision to take money out the firm before selling it for £1 to a former bankrupt.
A Cabinet Office official confirmed his case was under consideration in a letter to Labour MP Jim McMahon.
A spokesman for Sir Philip has declined to comment on the matter.
However, the spokesman did say: "We will await the report of the [Commons] Work and Pensions Committee on Monday."
The committee of MPs will publish its report on Monday into the demise of BHS, which caused up to 11,000 job losses.
Mr McMahon was among a number of MPs who wrote to a Whitehall honours committee, calling for Sir Philip to be stripped of his knighthood.
The retail tycoon bought the BHS chain for £200m in 2000, before selling it to Dominic Chappell, a former bankrupt with no retail experience.
Sir Philip has come under scrutiny for that sale, along with the £400m in dividends taken out of the firm during his 15-year ownership and his management of the pension scheme, which had a £571m deficit when the retailer collapsed.
He told a Commons inquiry committee last month that he would "fix" the pension problem at BHS.
The decision to revoke an honour is considered by a committee of civil servants following a recommendation from the Cabinet Office.
Officials said in such cases, any decision would be taken only after formal investigations had been completed to establish the facts.
In the letter to the MP, the official wrote: "I hope you will understand that I cannot comment on the particular circumstances of Sir Philip, but I can assure you that the case is being reviewed."
A Cabinet Office spokesman said: "Applications for forfeiture are considered by an independent committee.
"They have been clear that they will not consider reviewing an honour until any formal reviews or investigations which establish the facts of a case have been completed. However, we continue to keep the case under review."

Allen was released from his deal with the Bees after Eastleigh chairman Stewart Donald requested permission to speak to the 51-year-old.
His appointment follows Ronnie Moore's departure for "personal reasons" on Wednesday after three months in charge.
Allen's first match in charge will be Sunday's home FA Cup second-round tie against FC Halifax Town.
He guided Barnet back into the EFL from the National League in 2015 in his fourth spell in charge of the London club, who are eighth in League Two.
The Bees have placed development team coach Rossi Eames in caretaker charge, with academy manager Henry Newman assisting him.
Eastleigh, ninth in the National League and eight points off the play-off places, have appointed their third different manager of the season after sacking Chris Todd in August.
"The approach came out of the blue," Barnet chairman Tony Kleanthous said.
"It was quite clear that Martin had decided he wanted to take the opportunity Eastleigh were offering to him.
"He leaves with our best wishes having done a great job helping to rebuild the football club after our relegation into the National League."
But what happened to the makers of Welsh classics - such as Corgi Cars and Superted - which once were part of the engine room of Britain's toy trade?
The British Toy and Hobby Association (BTHA) has said the re-launch of many old favourites will boost sales after the UK's highest growth in half a decade, last year.
However, that comes too late for the bulk of Wales' toy industry, which once employed thousands but has now "almost disappeared", according to experts.
"It's amazing how evocative a toy can be," said Hilary Kennelly, of the West Wales Museum of Childhood.
"It can transport you back to a childhood that you had even half-forgotten. Yes, toys are quite powerful."
But that wistful sense of a wonderful time, now irretrievably lost, applies equally to the once-vigorous sector of factories and studios which turned out play things across Wales.
Mrs Kennelly and her husband, Paul, preside over a staggering collection of 10,000 toys at the museum in Llangeler, Carmarthenshire - many of them Welsh-made.
Describing the rise of their creators, she said: "There were so many toys needed that a lot of British firms and the occasional American firm came to Wales.
"And, of course, there was government help to set up factories.
"Especially when you had the men doing coal mining and the steel-making, you wanted something for the wives to be doing. So, a lot of toy making was actually the wives, because they had more nimble fingers."
This red Rover Sterling could be the rarest Corgi car ever to have left the firm's Swansea plant, according to Paul Kennelly of the West Wales Museum of Childhood.
He said only 12 are known to have been made, with the details of their production tantalisingly vague.
He bought them from a wholesaler who had picked them up at the Fforestfach plant as it was closing in 1991.
The Rover Sterling was only available in silk green, silver and an assortment of police designs, and he believes the dozen red prototypes were intended, not as production models, but as colour trials.
With so few of the model in existence, it has previously fetched up to £200.
The bulk of toy production had traditionally taken place in Germany until World War One.
"All of sudden, you couldn't be playing with 'enemy' toys," Mrs Kennelly added, explaining that caused producers to spring up in Britain.
World War Two then led to the expulsion of many Jewish manufacturers from Germany, including Mettoy, which later became Corgi Cars.
Mettoy set up in Northampton before running a subsidised plant at Fforestfach, Swansea, making, not toys, but necessities for the war effort, including jerrycans and Bren Gun clips.
But 1956 saw the release of Corgi's first toy vehicle - a Ford Consul (200/200M) - with the range going on to rapidly expand and the factory going on to employ more than 5,000 people.
Corgi, which overshadowed any other producer in Wales, sold its miniatures all over the world, with film and TV replicas, such as the Batmobile and James Bond's Aston Martin DB5 among the most coveted.
However, it was sold to American giant Mattel in 1989 and the factory in Swansea was closed in 1991. After a management buyout in 1995, Corgi was then acquired by Kent-based Hornby in 2008.
"It was a very sad day when Corgi left Wales," Mrs Kennelly said.
But at its peak, the Welsh toy-making industry was home to other large manufacturers.
Tri-ang Toys, in Merthyr Tydfil, made railways and wooden toys; Wells' Toys had a factory in Holyhead, Anglesey, and Wendy Boston Teddy Bears had premises in Abergavenny, Monmouthshire and Crickhowell, Powys.
In the 1940s the late Arthur Schneider was responsible for bringing Crescent Toys - which made cowboy guns, models and cars - from London to Cwmcarn, in Caerphilly county.
John Aldridge worked at the plant for about 25 years and was chief designer when it closed in 1981.
His widow, Jean, 76, of Cross Key, Caerphilly, said it was "a big factory to lose" for the area.
SuperTed, the animated bear who became the first star of Welsh channel S4C and later a British staple, also spawned a successful range of soft collectables.
However, Mrs Kennelly said the Welsh toy-making industry has now "almost disappeared", adding: "There are very few firms still making things here."
Among them is The Rocking Sheep Company, in Harlech, Gwynedd, has produced a hand-made "woolly alternative" to the traditional rocking horse since 1991.
Simon Wolfers, who runs the small firm, said: "It's getting more and more difficult. You have to diversify to survive.
"I have always wanted to grow to a point, but I have never gotten to that stage. There has been recession after recession. It's been a battle."
But despite many Welsh producers passing into the night, thousands of collectors continue to trawl the internet for the lacuna in their cherished horde.
A search for Corgi cars alone on online auction site eBay yields more than 4,500 results.
So, why does their popularity endure, even if their creators do not?
Mrs Kennelly has a theory: "A childhood memory is a nice thing every so often."
The plans will unite three existing sites with ageing buildings into a new building at Parc Y Werin.
Many Gorseinon residents have opposed the new school being built there.
"We've handed petitions into the Senedd and Swansea City Council, with well over 3,000 signatures", said former Welsh international footballer Leighton James, who grew up using the park.
Local residents claim that the park is the only public open space with sports pitches in the town.
About 6.5% of the park will be covered by the new building, with new pitches being created for the school set to be available for community use, the planning committee was told.
The plans were narrowly passed by the planning committee, with 6 in favour and 5 against.
"This has never been about losing Parc y Werin because the park is not being lost," said Rob Stewart, council leader.
"The new school will help protect and enhance the park and provide additional benefits for the whole community for play, recreation and sport."
The increase of 1.99% for Plymouth City Council is the maximum possible without triggering a local referendum.
The budget presented at the Labour-led council for 2015-16 was approved by a margin of one vote.
Councillors also approved £3.5m plans to upgrade the city's Pannier Market and shop fronts.
Zahid Hussain, 29, filled the appliance with shrapnel and made "improvised igniters" from the festive decorations, jurors were told.
Birmingham Crown Court heard he had researched railway lines as a potential target for the "non-viable" bomb, which he wrongly thought capable of causing devastation.
He denies several charges.
Prosecution QC Annabel Darlow said Mr Hussain was found in possession of a number of books which contained instructions on sabotage and guerrilla warfare tactics.
She said: "After his computer was recovered, material showed that Mr Hussain held a pronounced interest in Islamic State and events in Syria.
"In his own words he had become bedroom radicalised - turned into a radical by material he had accessed in his own bedroom."
Miss Darlow said the defendant had tried to build "a number of explosive devices", including a pressure cooker bomb and fairy light igniters.
Mr Hussain also attempted to create a remote-control "initiator" for a device by modifying a wireless doorbell, she said.
Jurors were told Mr Hussain, formerly of Naseby Road, Alum Rock, Birmingham, was arrested on 9 August after reports of a man carrying a hammer and behaving suspiciously near his home.
He was taken to a police station where officers found handwritten recipes for explosives, a modified fairy light and a hand-drawn map showing a drainage chamber in Alum Rock.
Officers then went to his home where they found an "improvised laboratory" and four allegedly viable igniters fashioned from fairy lights, the court heard.
Mr Hussain, who was flanked in the dock by two psychiatric nurses, has pleaded not guilty to preparation of terrorist acts, two counts of making explosives and one of attempting to make explosives.
The trial continues.
The Kilmarnock striker, a prolific scorer in two spells at Ibrox, feels his former team are "a million miles away" from challenging Celtic.
"Is there anybody going to buy any of these players?" said Boyd.
"These guys are probably on the most they will ever earn in their careers so they are not going to leave."
Caixinha, who replaced Mark Warburton as Rangers manager, has been in charge at Ibrox for seven matches.
His team are 36 points adrift of treble-chasing Celtic in the Premiership, and nine behind second-placed Aberdeen.
Rangers were hammered 5-1 by Celtic on Saturday, the biggest defeat they have suffered at the hands of their rivals at Ibrox.
It follows Celtic's 2-0 win in the Scottish Cup semi-final the previous weekend.
"As a new manager coming in, he will have an opportunity to sign players," Boyd told BBC Scotland.
"Every manager will have a shopping list but where is the money coming from to turn it round?
"You've still got a squad of 20 players and I can't think of any of them, apart from Clint Hill and Philippe Senderos being out of contract in the summer.
"You'd have to get rid of them one way or another, but the wage bill can't jump away back up. It's about balancing everything.
"The big problem is that when you tell people they are not needed, they will just down tools.
"When they are told they are not needed, you have to find money to pay these guys off. They become a hindrance hanging about the place."
Boyd, 33, acknowledges it is very days for Caixinha, but says he has yet to see Rangers develop under the Portuguese.
He said: "The gap is getting even wider. When you do something mid-season you usually get a reaction from the players. I haven't seen any.
"I know there's not been a transfer window but you can always judge what a manager gets out of players in that short period of time.
"Rangers were a far better team earlier in the season. They weren't taking chances but they were dominating games.
"They were difficult games to play against Rangers whereas now it's just like playing against anyone else. The fear factor is not there.
"Scottish football needs a strong Rangers, even for the national team because they can make players better for the country.
"You just want to have a team out there who can challenge Celtic at least. But it's a million miles away."

The Warriors played recent home games at alternate venues after heavy rain took its toll on the Scotstoun pitch but they are back in Glasgow's west end for Sunday's match.
"We are really looking forward to making our return to Scotstoun on Sunday," said Glasgow head coach Gregor Townsend.
"We've missed playing at our home ground, but we've picked up two good wins recently and the players can't wait to get out on the pitch in front of a big crowd.
"Cardiff Blues are a well coached team who are organised in defence and innovative in attack. We will have to play very well to continue our winning run.
"It's great to welcome back Henry Pyrgos, who has been stuck on 99 caps since playing so well in last year's Pro12 final.
"To have him coming back into the selection mix with so much rugby still left to play is a real boost for the squad."

"In the first half we clearly deserved to be ahead and, apart from the last few minutes when we were worn out, we always had control of the game," said Portugal coach Paulo Bento.
"We have to be prepared and we have to be able to play without players who are our first choices."
Portugal face Germany, United States and Ghana in their World Cup group, while Greece meet Colombia, Ivory Coast and Japan.
Mr Munde was on his way to the airport to take a flight to his home state of Maharashtra when his car was hit by another vehicle, officials said.
Doctors at the AIIMS hospital said he was not breathing when brought in and efforts to resuscitate him failed.
Mr Munde, 64, was appointed just last week to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's new government.
India has some of the most dangerous roads in the world - nearly 140,000 people died in road accidents in India in 2012, according to the government's National Crime Records Bureau.
Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari told reporters: "An accident took place earlier in the morning, following which he was taken to hospital in Delhi. Doctors declared him dead at about 8am [02:30GMT]."
"Mr Munde was brought to the emergency department... by his personal assistant and driver. He was sitting in the back seat of his car which was hit by another car or any other vehicle... from the side he was sitting," Dr Amit Gupta of the AIIMS Trauma Centre told reporters.
"On his arrival at the Trauma Centre, there was no spontaneous breathing, no blood pressure, no pulse, no cardiac activity."
Dr Gupta said there were "no major external injuries on his body... clinically we might say that he had a sudden cardiac death".
The minister's driver and secretary escaped unhurt.
Prime Minister Modi was among the first to mourn Mr Munde's death.
"Extremely saddened and shocked by the demise of my friend and colleague Gopinath Munde. His demise is a major loss for the nation and the government," Mr Modi tweeted.
He described Mr Munde as "a true mass leader" and said that "hailing from backward sections of society, he rose to great heights and tirelessly served people".
One of the most popular politicians in Maharashtra, Gopinath Munde wielded great clout at the national level too. He was deputy leader of his party, the BJP, in the last parliament.
Mr Munde was a politician who had risen from the masses. He came from a small area in central Maharashtra called Parli and belonged to a low-caste grouping known as the OBCs, or the Other Backward Classes. They constitute a large voter base for any party, and Mr Munde's popularity among them made him an important leader for the BJP.
His home district of Beed is infamous for female foeticide, and given that he has three daughters and no son, he was often hailed as an example for others to follow. One of his daughters, Pankaja Munde-Palve, is a member of the Maharashtra state assembly.
Mr Munde's body was being flown later on Tuesday to his village where his funeral will take place on Wednesday.
He was deputy chief minister in Maharashtra from 1995 to 1999 and elected twice to the lower house of parliament in 2009 and 2014.
Reports said Mr Munde had been on his way to Maharashtra to address a victory rally in his constituency, Beed.
Although he had recently been appointed rural development minister in the new federal government, he was a popular choice to become the chief minister of Maharashtra, should his party win state elections due in a few months.
His is the second big loss for the BJP in Maharashtra in the past eight years - in 2006, senior party leader Pramod Mahajan was shot dead in his home in Mumbai.
Mr Mahajan was Mr Munde's brother-in-law and correspondents say their closeness to some extent helped Mr Munde rise within the BJP.
The deal will see Microsoft pay $8.5bn (£5.2bn) for Skype, making it Microsoft's largest acquisition.
Luxembourg-based Skype has 663 million global users. In August last year it announced plans for a share flotation, but this was subsequently put on hold.
Internet auction house eBay bought Skype for $2.6bn in 2006, before selling 70% of it in 2009 for $2bn.
This majority stake was bought by a group of investors led by private equity firms Silver Lake and Andreessen Horowit.
Other major shareholders include tech-firm Joltid and the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board.
Shares in Microsoft ended the day in New York down 0.5% at $25.68. In contrast, eBay - which owns a stake in Skype - saw its share price rally 2.5%.
Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer said: "Skype is a phenomenal service that is loved by millions of people around the world.
By Tim WeberBusiness editor, BBC News website
It's a done deal: Microsoft has bought Skype for a whopping $8.5bn.
That's a lot of cash for an eight-year-old company that's not making a lot of money.
So what's in it for Microsoft?
For starters, the firm gets well over 600 million users who make Skype the world's largest phone company for international voice calls.
More importantly, Microsoft buys into a lot of potential.
Marry Skype's software with the Xbox Kinect and an HD television set, and Microsoft can make a powerful argument for getting into millions of living rooms.
Think beyond teleconferencing for the whole family: there's one-on-one training, home schooling, even patient care delivered remotely and in vision.
Smarten it up for the corporate world, and Microsoft can challenge the telepresence business of firms like Cisco and Polycom.
And Skype is multi-platform, reaching into the worlds of Apple and Linux.
Finally, Skype is mobile, and can be paired with Windows Phone 7.
The hitch: Microsoft boss Steve Ballmer will have to work hard to integrate Skype, to ensure the voice/video-over-the-internet company is not strangled by his firm's notorious bureaucracy.
"Together we will create the future of real-time communications so people can easily stay connected to family, friends, clients and colleagues anywhere in the world."
Skype will now become a new division within Microsoft, and Skype chief executive Tony Bates will continue to lead the business, reporting directly to Mr Ballmer.
"It's a strategic asset and a defensive move [for Microsoft]," said Colin Gillis, an analyst at BGC Financial.
"If they can put it on Windows 8, it gives them an advantage. It helps them in the tablet market."
Other analysts say Microsoft's aim in buying Skype is to improve its video conferencing services.
Although the price tag of $8.5bn will not stretch the US giant, some experts have questioned whether it is paying too much for a company that has struggled to turn a profit.
Michael Clendenin, managing director of consulting firm RedTech Advisors, said: "If you consider [Skype] was just valued at about $2.5bn 18 months ago when a chunk was sold off, then $8.5bn seems generous.
"[It] means Microsoft has a high wall to climb to prove to investors that Skype is a necessary linchpin for the company's online and mobile strategy."
This view was echoed by Ben Woods, head of research group CCS Insight.
"The big unanswered question is how do Skype assets work for Microsoft... how do you justify the price?" he said.
Skype was founded in 2003.
Calls to other Skype users are free, while the company charges for those made to both traditional landline phones and mobiles.
The 16-year-old will swim the 100m and 400m freestyle in Brazil, just weeks after completing his GCSE exams.
City of Derby star White will compete alongside London 2012 gold medallists Ellie Simmonds, Ollie Hynd, Jessica-Jane Applegate and Josef Craig.
"Tokyo [in 2020] was always the main objective for me, so to go to Rio is amazing and an added bonus," he said.
"I'm just going to enjoy myself, soak up the experience and watch and learn from the other athletes as much as I can."
White trains alongside world, European and Commonwealth champion Adam Peaty as they share the same coach, Mel Marshall.
The student at Pingle School, Swadlincote, near Derby, completes regular strength and conditioning sessions with the Derbyshire Institute of Sport (DIS), designed to improve core flexibility and help prevent injury.
It helped him set a new British record in his 100m freestyle S9 category in winning a silver medal at the British Para-Swimming International Meet in April, which doubled as the British Paralympic trials.
White added: "I had actually done most of my training for the 400m, so the 100m was probably my best performance.
"I'm looking forward to getting in some more solid training once my exams have finished.
"I remember watching the Paralympics in London and thinking 'that could be me in eight or 12 years' time', but now the opportunity has come earlier, I have to grasp it.
"I'll have to see if I can sneak into a final and I could be involved in the relay as well if they decide to take a British team, but the main thing is to take experiences forward for Tokyo."
Lancaster has left his post after England's early World Cup exit.
His decision to select rugby league convert Sam Burgess for the pool-stage defeat to Wales attracted criticism.
"I think he was trying to put the right pieces into place but selection unfortunately was his downfall," Davies told BBC Wales Sport.
"It was not only Burgess and the centre partnership but crucial selections at 10, half-back, the front row with [Dylan] Hartley not being picked, so it all added up.
"It kind of was inevitable for Stuart Lancaster, which is a shame."
Lancaster, 46, was made permanent coach in 2012 and won 28 of his 46 games, but failed to win the Six Nations.
Burgess' brief rugby union career with England was a controversial one, and the 26-year-old has since rejoined Australian rugby league side South Sydney Rabbitohs.
A review into England performance at the World Cup took place after the tournament, with Rugby Football Union chief executive Ian Ritchie stating that Lancaster agreed he should step down from his role.
"At the moment it seems to be rather rudderless," said Davies.
"I do feel sorry for [Lancaster]. He's a decent guy and tried to do the right thing but unfortunately it didn't work out.
"When you're a host nation and you don't get out of the pool stage, questions are going to be asked.
"On top of that, the leaking of stories coming from the squad and the Sam Burgess debate, there was no way he could have stayed unfortunately for him."
Wales head coach Warren Gatland is among those who have been linked to the England post, although the New Zealander is contracted to Wales until the end of the 2019 World Cup.
England have never had a foreign head coach, and Davies would like to see home-grown coaches in the set-up which will succeed Lancaster.
"It's a great time to come in," he added.
"Having had two very disappointing World Cups, it's a great opportunity for someone to come in, have a look at the talent they've got and the resources, and turn things around.
"World rugby needs a strong England and the Six Nations needs a strong England. I'm sure they'll be strong come February.
"I would like some kind of home-grown coaches involved.
"Whether they go for a head coach there or rugby director with a consultant from the southern hemisphere or outside England, there's enough clever people in England and clever rugby people in the wider world."
They are Lord Carlile of Berriew QC, Rosalie Flanagan and Stephen Shaw QC.
Secretary of State Theresa Villiers said they would bring "rigour, integrity and independence" to the job.
The panel has been set up to help address a crisis at Stormont, sparked by a police assessment that IRA members were involved in a murder last month.
Kevin McGuigan Sr was shot dead close to his home in east Belfast on 12 August.
The murder investigation resulted in a breakdown of trust between unionist and republican politicians at Stormont.
Does Northern Ireland need a new body to provide paramilitary assessment?
Last Friday, Ms Villiers announced that the government had commissioned an independent assessment of paramilitary groups.
The panel will assess the structure, role and purpose of paramilitary organisations in Northern Ireland.
Their report will be published in mid-October and will be used to inform parties at Northern Ireland's political talks.
Read more on how the crisis unfolded
Lord Carlile has been the independent reviewer of national security arrangements in Northern Ireland since 2007.
He is a practising barrister and a Liberal Democrat member of the House of Lords.
Ms Flanagan has held a number of top posts in the civil service at Stormont, and worked in the Office of the First Minister and Deputy First Minister from 2002 until 2010.
Mr Shaw is a senior barrister who has acted for local and central government as well as private firms and public companies, specialising in commercial and public law work.
In a statement, Ms Villiers said: "I am very grateful to each of the reviewers for agreeing to take on this important work.
"They are all highly respected individuals. I am confident that they will bring rigour, integrity and independence to this important task."
Sinn Féin's Conor Murphy said the panel was unnecessary.
"Nothing and no one can be allowed a veto over the democratic process. Sinn Féin is in government on the basis of our electoral mandate," he said.
However, the DUP's Arlene Foster said she was pleased the panel had been appointed.
"We think it'll be a fuller assessment than we've had thus far and hopefully it will be helpful to the process," she said.
The claim: Since 1992, 27 other countries have been more successful at exporting goods to the single market than the UK has.
Reality Check verdict: In terms of volumes of sales, the UK has done much better. But if success is measured by the percentage increase in the amount exported, then Mr Johnson is right.
"In the 20 years since the 1992 creation of the single market, actually there were 27 other countries not in the EU who have done better than the UK at exporting into the single market goods, and, I think, 21 countries who have done better at exporting services."
The former mayor of London is referring to research published by Civitas (see the table on page 17), which uses Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) trade statistics.
The measure he is quoting is the percentage increase in exports of goods to the 11 founding members of the single market between 1993 and 2011.
Top of the list is Vietnam, which achieved a 544% increase in exports. But it started at a pretty low level, increasing from $73m (£50m) a month to $400m a month over the period.
Number two on the list is Qatar, which has managed a 496% increase to $300m a month. Number three is Ukraine.
But, actually, while the UK came in at number 28 on the ranking of the top 35 in terms of percentage increases, it exported more to the 11 countries than anyone else on the list, including the USA and China.
The comparison for exports of services does not cover the same time period - it is looking at 1999-2010 (you can find it on page 33 of the same document).
On the services, the UK comes in at number 22 in terms of percentage increase, but is second in value of sales (behind the USA).

KL1 200m winner Chippington and KL2 200m champion Wiggs added to their Paralympic and World titles.
Young took gold in the men's VL3 200m event.
Britain's Rachel Cawthorn won Canoe Sprint European Championships bronze in the women's K1 1,000m event at the same venue earlier on Saturday.
Wiggs beat compatriot Charlotte Henshaw in the KL2 200m, with Henshaw's silver one of three for Britain alongside Ian Marsden (KL1 200m) and Robert Oliver (KL3 200m). There was also a bronze for Nicholas Beighton in the KL2 200m event.
Former swimmer-turned canoeist Chippington, who has won 12 Paralympic medals, beat Russian Alexandra Dupik into first place by almost a second and a half.
"It's nice to get the first major event out the way and deliver a successful performance," she said.
Wiggs was almost three seconds faster than her team-mate Henshaw, who was competing in her first major championships.
She was at a military parade in Richmond, North Yorkshire, to mark the amalgamation of the Queen's Royal Lancers and the 9th and the 12th Royal (Prince of Wales's).
The new regiment will be called The Royal Lancers.
Soldiers marched through the town before entering Richmond Castle for the takeover by the new commanding officer.
The lancers have historical links to the East Midlands, with the 9th and 12th Regiment mainly recruited from Derbyshire and Leicestershire and the Queen's Royal Lancers from Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire.
On her visit to North Yorkshire, the Queen was wrapped against the spring chill in a soft wool coat and silk-wool dress by designer Karl Ludwig.
Her hat was designed by Angela Kelly and she wore a brooch of the Queen's Royal Lancers.
The royal engagement came just hours after Kensington Palace announced that the Duchess of Cambridge had given birth to a girl, weighing 8lbs 3oz (3.7kg).
Both Catherine and her daughter were "doing well", the statement added.
"I don't know where my daughter is," said Patrick Jardin. "I don't know if she's still alive or in which hospital she might be." His daughter had been working at the Bataclan concert hall as a lighting director.
Confirmation of her death emerged on Monday but the search goes on for several others missing since Islamists opened fire on the Bataclan and several other sites in Paris on Friday night.
The hashtag #rechercheParis has been widely used. And as the identities of the dead and wounded have been confirmed, many of the names and faces originally posted on Twitter have been updated with the simple word "deceased".
At least 10 of the victims are yet to be identified.
Hospitals in Paris said in a statement on Monday that of the 80 people admitted in a critical condition, 29 remained in intensive care. Another 48 are still being treated but are no longer in a critical condition.
One nurse posted a message on Sunday saying that some patients who were not in a critical condition had not been identified and were labelled as "X".
Remi Suquate was among the crowd watching Eagles of Death Metal at the Bataclan where at least 82 people were killed.
Lola Ouzounian was also at the Bataclan, and also 17 years old. One young woman wrote that Lola was her teacher's daughter. "Let's help him, please," she tweeted.
Most messages on social media gave brief details of those who were missing: their height, age and hair colour.
One appealed for help in finding Seraphin Amafela, 29, with the simple message: "Letter K tattooed on left shoulder."
For some of those searching for friends and loved ones, word eventually came that they had not survived.
Sven Alejandro Silva Perugini, a Venezuelan working in Spain, had been at the Bataclan concert. For days, appeals on social media were made from friends and relatives at home. But eventually his body was identified.
The #rechercheparis hashtag did, however, have some successful outcomes.
For days, friends of Eli Sardon, a 23-year-old student, appealed for help in tracing her. She had been at La Belle Equipe restaurant when it came under fire.
Finally, on Tuesday, someone from a Paris hospital rang up to say that someone of Eli's description was being treated.
"Thanks, everyone, thanks. You don't know how much help you've been," tweeted one friend.
The fifth hurdle on the long road to Wembley - after the extra preliminary round, preliminary round and first and second qualifying rounds - will see another 40 fall.
Non-league clubs that do successfully negotiate this stage will be 90 minutes away from a potential money-spinning first-round tie against Football League opposition.
There is a midfielder who gets booed because he shares a name with a managerial great, a club close to Charlie Austin's heart, the manager who played for Ajax at 16, a boss who married the Arsenal Ladies goalkeeper and a roofer who cannot stop scoring.
BBC Sport takes a look at some of the stories behind this weekend's ties.
Check out this weekend's FA Cup third qualifying round fixtures.
Alex Ferguson: a name to provoke booing from many opposition fans up and down the country.
And it seems it does not matter whether it is the former Manchester United manager or a 21-year old playing for Chippenham Town. If that is your name and your nickname also happens to be Fergie, you are guaranteed an earful from the terraces wherever you go.
Former Swindon Town reserve midfielder Ferguson, 21, has grown accustomed to being heckled by opposition fans when his name is read out over speakers before games.
Sir Alex won 13 league titles, two Champions Leagues, the Cup Winners' Cup, five FA Cups and four League Cups during his reign as Manchester United manager between 1986-2013.
"I was born in 1994, the same year Manchester United won a league and cup Double, but I'm not a fan," Chippenham's Ferguson said ahead of his team's tie at Uxbridge, who play in the eighth-tier Southern League Division One Central.
"My dad and I both support West Ham United.
"But sharing the same name as the greatest manager of all time can work in my favour because people tend to take more notice of you.
"Whenever my name is read out over the speakers before a game I think 'here we go' because it always provokes a reaction from opposition fans.
"Sometimes it's good but there's always a few jeers too."
Chippenham, who play in the seventh-tier Southern League Premier Division, have lost only two of their 16 league and cup games this season.
It is six years since Charlie Austin last played for Poole Town but there are permanent reminders of the Queens Park Rangers striker's spell all around their Tatnam ground.
The Dolphins insisted on a sell-on clause and add-ons when Austin left for Swindon Town in 2009, after scoring 64 goals in 57 games.
It turned out to be a shrewd piece of business as his move from Swindon to Burnley 18 months later netted Poole £260,000, money the Southern League Premier Division outfit have since spent on ground improvements.
Two new stands have been built, with Austin delighted to help repay the club that he served on his way to the full-time game and a call-up by England in May.
"I didn't know anyone when I first joined Poole but they are a superb club, very friendly," Austin, 26, told BBC Sport.
"I was a builder at the time and was getting up early to do shifts and then getting down to training and play matches.
"It was a great stepping stone for me. They certainly gave me a platform to express myself.
"I still get down and watch them when I can. "
One of Austin's greatest memories at Poole was scoring a hat-trick in the FA Cup preliminary round in August 2009 to help his side to a 7-2 win over Barnstaple.
"It was nice to get the win more than anything - and a £30 goal bonus at £10 a goal. Taking that from the manager was very nice," he said.
Family commitments will prevent Austin from attending Saturday's game at Hastings United, who play in the eighth-tier Isthmian League Division One South.
But Austin will be willing on his former club, managed by his close friend Tom Killick.
Managing Rushall Olympic in the third qualifying round of the FA Cup is a world away from the glamour of playing alongside Marco van Basten, Frank Rijkaard and Ronald Koeman at Ajax.
Richard Sneekes was only 16 years old and still at school when Johan Cruyff sent him on for his debut in the closing stages of a 5-1 Dutch league win over Haarlem in October 1985.
With Cruyff spoilt for choice in terms of talent at his disposal, Sneekes was limited to three senior Ajax appearances.
But 30 years on, the former Bolton Wanderers and West Bromwich Albion midfielder is putting the philosophy drummed into him growing up with the Dutch giants to good use in his first permanent managerial job.
"A few weeks before my Ajax debut, the youth coach told me I was going with the first team," Sneekes told BBC Sport.
"I said I was too young and didn't want to go. I ended up sitting on the bench, it was about giving me experience.
"Six weeks later I found myself on the same pitch as Van Basten, Rijkaard and Koeman.
"After the game I had to ask someone if I was allowed in the players' lounge. I was 16 and had school the next day."
Sneekes, who played in Bolton's 2-1 defeat by Liverpool in the 1995 League Cup final, has been manager at Rushall, on the outskirts of Walsall, since May 2014.
"Everything I learned at the Ajax academy is in my DNA," added the 46-year-old. "It is a challenge to see if I can make my philosophy work at this level.
"Obviously the pitches start to turn in December and January but you will never hear me say to my players 'just hoof the ball'."
Rushall, who play in the seventh-tier Northern Premier League Premier Division, visit West Midlands rivals Stourbridge.
"I was rubbish as a player in the FA Cup," replies Marcus Bignot when asked to recall his biggest moment in the competition.
The former Queens Park Rangers defender, now manager of ambitious National League North leaders Solihull Moors, does remember one amusing moment in 1993 after scoring for non-League Telford United against Huddersfield Town in the first round.
"It was on Match of the Day and I was voted 'Celebration of the Week'. I think it was a chicken dance, it's embarrassing now," he said.
"The next day I was playing a Sunday League game and the opposition scored.
"They celebrated... with a chicken dance. They must have all stayed up the night before and seen my celebration on Match of the Day."
Bignot, 41, has been putting a smile on the faces of fans at Solihull Moors since being appointed manager in 2011.
The club, formed in 2007 as a result of a merger between Moor Green and Solihull Borough, have grown both on and off the pitch in four years under his guidance.
"In 2011 there were two teams - the first team and the under-18s. Now we have 32 youth teams alone," said Bignot, ahead of his side's home tie with Worcester City, who also play in National League North.
Birmingham-born Bignot's playing career saw him play under Dario Gradi, Ian Holloway, Brian Talbot and Kenny Jackett among others.
He is putting all he learned from each into practice.
Bignot also believes a long stint in charge of Birmingham City Ladies, while he was still playing full-time, has also proved invaluable.
Married to Arsenal Ladies and Republic of Ireland goalkeeper Emma Byrne, Bignot added: "Women's football has been massive in my development as a manager.
"It's no secret I want to manage full-time in the Football League.
"I could have moved last year to a bigger club, but if I achieve what I want to achieve at Solihull Moors then it will be much more satisfying."
Craig Bannister has got plenty to shout from the rooftops about after scoring nine times in four FA Cup qualifying ties this season.
The 30-year-old self-employed roofer retired from playing after breaking his leg twice in the space of 18 months between 2010 and 2012.
Fast forward three years and Bannister's remarkable scoring form has propelled ninth-tier side Sporting Khalsa, based in the Black Country, on their best ever run in the competition.
"I have a young family to support and the second time I broke my leg, playing for Rushall Olympic, that was it, I was finished," the Manchester United fan told BBC Sport.
"I'm self-employed and I couldn't earn money with a broken leg.
"I went to watch some non-league games and started to get itchy feet again. I spoke to the doctors, got the all-clear, and then managed to convince my wife.
"I got myself fit and haven't looked back."
Khalsa, founded in 1991, entertain Northern Premier League Division One South Spalding United.

The latest incident happened at Forest Street, off the Springfield Road, at about 20:50 GMT on Thursday. He is in a stable condition in hospital.
Chief Superintendent Chris Noble said it was too early to say if the shootings were linked.
"There is an active line of inquiry around the involvement of violent dissident republicans," he said.
The move to bring Fr Denis Chrysostom Alexander back to face trial in Scotland follows criticism by his alleged victims that the Crown was dragging its heels over the case.
It comes after a two-and-a-half-year inquiry, sparked by a BBC Scotland investigation.
Fr Chrysostom denies the allegations.
Run by Catholic Benedictine monks, Fort Augustus Abbey school in the Highlands closed its doors to the public in 1993.
Allegations of decades of child sexual and physical abuse at the exclusive boarding school were finally made public by a BBC Scotland investigation in June 2013.
The BBC spoke to former pupils who claim they were abused by monks or teaching staff over five decades.
Many of those then reported their allegations to the police, sparking a major historical abuse police inquiry.
However, some of the former pupils had expressed concern over the length of time prosecutors were taking over deciding whether to prosecute.
Hugh Kennedy, 52, who first told the police about his allegations against Fr Chrysostom, who now lives in Australia, more than two-and-a-half years ago, told the BBC this week he had been ready to give up.
He said: "My experience of having brought this to the attention of the Scottish judiciary and the police has been quite frankly awful. I can see why so many men decide not to bother and why so many men decide it's just not worth the effort.
"It's almost as if it feels as though if I'm held at bay long enough, this matter will just go away."
The BBC interviewed Mr Kennedy on Tuesday. That same day he had been told by his liaison at the Crown there was no news about his case.
On Wednesday, the BBC put Mr Kennedy's claims to the Crown, that it had been dragging its heels over the case.
Today the Crown told the BBC it was seeking Chrysostom's extradition.
A spokeswoman for the crown said: "Crown Counsel have instructed proceedings against Denis Alexander. Charges are being finalised with a view to seeking his extradition."
This morning the BBC spoke to Fr Chrysostom in Sydney. He denied the allegations, and said the matter was being looked at by his archbishop.
The final decision to extradite Chrysostom will be up to the Australian authorities, but it is now possible that Mr Kennedy will get the opportunity to face his alleged abuser in a courtroom.
One other former Fort Augustus monk has appeared in court on charges of assault, a further seven cases remain under consideration.
Moelfre inshore lifeboat launched at about 11:00 BST, along with the local coastguard team and rescue helicopter from Caernarfon.
The lifeboat crew found the man in his forties clinging to his fishing kayak, having struggled to climb back on.
He showed signs of immersion and was transferred to Ysbyty Gwynedd in Bangor.
The man, who was wearing all the correct safety equipment, estimated he had been in the water for more than 15 minutes.
Lifeboat helm Alan Owen said the man was "coughing heavily" by the time they got him to the beach "which is a clear sign of salt water ingestion".
Mr Owen praised the multi-agency response, which he said resulted in a "quick and efficient rescue".
In a nod to Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, youngsters will find their winning ticket in commemorative chocolate bars.
They will be distributed to all 72 primary and secondary schools in the region to mark the railway's opening.
One child from every school will win a return trip between Stow and Edinburgh on 5 September.
The Borders Railway will officially begin operating between Tweedbank and Edinburgh the following day.
Councillor Sandy Aitchison said: "All pupils will enjoy a week-long series of events and lessons around the themes of literacy and journeys.
"This will include some additional prizes of book tokens as well as lots of interesting Borders Railway themed activities.
"Those lucky enough to find one of the rare Golden Tickets will join fellow pupils from schools across the Borders to take part in the historic opening of the new railway line."
The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) said it hoped to resolve the dispute during a round of talks, but noted that it had enforcement powers available should they fail.
Google said it was taking its responsibilities seriously.
The news comes exactly one year since the controversial ruling by the Court of Justice of the European Union.
Along with other search engines, the internet giant has been obliged to remove links to articles that contain "inadequate, irrelevant or no longer relevant" information about an individual.
Under the decision, the person named must make a request to have the links removed from the results for a specific search.
Google has consistently said that it considers it a mistake to make it the arbiter in such cases, as the ruling effectively does.
The ICO confirmed to the BBC that it was discussing 48 cases it believed Google had not got "quite right" and has asked the internet giant to revise its decisions.
The action available to the ICO, should the discussions over those cases fail, includes a fine and a legally binding enforcement notice that could lead to court action, if the firm refused to comply.
But the body would only take such action if it found that Google's processes were not fit for purpose, rather than as a direct reaction to a single complaint.
An ICO spokesman said: "Since the details of the right to be forgotten ruling were first announced, we have handled over 183 complaints from those unhappy with Google's response to their takedown request.
"In around three-quarters of these cases, we have ruled that Google was correct to turn down an individual's request to have their information removed. This suggests that, for the most part, Google are getting the balance right between the protection of the individual's privacy and the interest of internet users."
But, it said, there were still a "significant number of cases where we believe Google haven't got it quite right and they have been asked to revise their decision".
While Google has done so in "many cases", the ICO said it was "looking to resolve the remaining cases through discussion and negotiation with Google, though we have enforcement powers available to us if required".
A Google spokesman said: "We haven't always got privacy right in Europe, not just because of errors we've made, but our attitude too. But our swift and thoughtful implementation of the right to be forgotten ruling showed that for Google this was a genuine 'we get it' moment.
"We've also worked hard to give users more control over the data we collect and we're looking at how to make those tools easier to find and use. So stay tuned."
Free speech campaigners have claimed that the ruling makes it easier for people to hide negative - though fair and accurate - references to them online and there have been sites set up to track the links taken down.
The BBC said in October 2014 that it would publish a list of its articles to which links have been taken down. A spokesman said on Wednesday that that remained its intention, though a decision on when and where to publish has not yet been taken.
However, others have pointed out that the ruling helps people avoid bad news stories unfairly dominating the results of searches related to them.
Google has said that it has received more than 250,000 requests to remove about 920,000 links, of which 41.3% have been removed from its search results, according to its transparency report.
While the ruling only applies to European sites, the deputy information commissioner David Smith told the Times that he believed Google should remove links on its US domain as well.
The ICO is also running a review of websites and apps used by children, it announced on Tuesday.
It will look at how information collection is explained and what parental permission is sought on 50 websites and apps.
It said: "The same approach will be taken by 28 other privacy enforcement authorities from around the world, with a view to publishing a combined report in the autumn. The ICO will also consider action against any website or app that it finds to be breaking the Data Protection Act."
Consultant Peter O'Keefe was suspended from Cardiff's University Hospital of Wales in 2012 and dismissed in August 2015.
On Friday, an employment tribunal heard claims his dismissal was prompted by concerns he voiced over patient safety.
However, the health board said his claim was "frivolous".
Mr O'Keefe, 51, had been suspended on full pay for more than three years while the health board investigated allegations against him.
He was dismissed with immediate effect in August last year after an independent inquiry panel found he had bullied and harassed 26 colleagues over a ten-year period.
An appeal panel subsequently upheld the ruling in the case.
But the preliminary hearing in Cardiff on Friday was told by Mr O'Keefe's lawyers he was sacked after raising concerns to managers following a report into the death of a patient in 2011.
The concerns were shared with those he was criticising who "took umbrage" and demanded he withdraw the comments, the tribunal heard.
There was also a "reluctance or refusal" by some to work with him.
Yet Giles Powell, counsel for Cardiff and Vale University Health Board, told the hearing Mr O'Keefe's unfair-dismissal claim should be struck out as it was "frivolous".
He added that Mr O'Keefe himself had conceded he "behaved unacceptably".
Judge Wayne Beard reserved judgment on whether to grant the health board's application to strike out his claim to a date yet to be decided.
If it chose, Mario Draghi, the president of the ECB, could put Greece in a position that would leave it little choice but to start printing its own currency, and in effect leave the eurozone.
But it's not a card that he wants to play.
As the clouds have gathered again over Greece's economic future, customers have been pulling their money out of Greek commercial banks. Private sector bank deposits in Greece declined by €23bn (£16.3bn), or 18%, between November 2014 and March this year, according to figures from the Bank of Greece.
So far, what has happened in Greece is not a full-scale run on the banks. In a previous episode of instability three years ago it was called a "bank jog". But it's at a fast enough pace to be causing concern. Because if customers take enough of their money out, and if the bank can't raise enough new funds to allow them to pay out, then banks could fail.
For now, banks are able to rely on borrowing money from the Bank of Greece (the country's central bank) using an arrangement known as emergency liquidity assistance (ELA). That is currently reported to be €80bn and has been raised repeatedly in recent months.
And this is the trump card: it's the ECB's governing council that tells the Bank of Greece whether this should continue, whether it should limit the payments or whether it should stop funding the banks.
Is there a point beyond which the ECB would call a halt to the funds channelled through the ELA?
Certainly, though it's hard to put a specific figure on it.
The key point is that ELA is supposed to be available to European banks that are solvent, but facing temporary liquidity problems.
So if the ECB's governing council took the view that the Greek banks were not solvent it would have to tell the Bank of Greece to pull the plug.
It's a principle behind ELA and behind central bank lending in general - you don't, or should not, lend to and prop up banks that are bust. Although admittedly it is not always straightforward in practice to identify whether a struggling bank is bust or just having temporary liquidity trouble.
We know enough about what happened in the case of Cyprus to be sure that it is something the ECB would consider.
The ECB did publicly threaten to put a stop to ELA for the Cypriot banks, unless there was an international bailout that would ensure they were solvent. There was a similar threat to Ireland in correspondence which has since been published.
As for the Greek banks today, the ECB's president Mario Draghi has said they will continue to receive funding as long they remain solvent and have adequate collateral.
The view at the ECB appears to be that the banks are in temporary difficulty. Executive board member Peter Praet said in April:
"The assessment that we get is that [Greek] banks are solvent, but it is true that it is a stressful situation".
The financial troubles of the Greek state are one of the sources of that stress. There's a kind of toxic embrace between the finances of the government and the banks. The banks own Greek government debt, and some of their capital is dependent on the Greek state.
So, if the interminable political negotiations between Greece and its eurozone partners conclude with the Greek state defaulting on its debts, the country's banks will also sustain financial damage. For its part the government is ticking over - just - partly due to short term borrowing from the banks.
Another factor with a bearing on the banks' solvency is the performance of the Greek economy. The worse it gets the more loans to business and households will not be repaid.
If at any point the ECB concludes the banks are bust it could yet decide to order the Bank of Greece to turn off the taps. Arguably, it should do so in those circumstances.
If the ECB pulled the plug, then Greece's banks would collapse.
The government could try to impose financial controls (as Cyprus did for a time) but the banking expert Frances Coppola doesn't think that would work. Instead, she writes, if the ELA were turned off: "Greece would have no choice but to create a completely new currency and reflate its economy directly via the central bank. That means leaving the euro, at least temporarily."
So the ECB's trump card, if it were played, could have very dramatic consequences that would be profoundly political.
It is arguable that, legally, giving up the euro is incompatible with staying in the European Union. In those circumstances, perhaps Greece would make closer friends with other powers that the EU doesn't greatly care for, such as Russia and China.
There is also the idea built into EU treaties and ideology that the euro is supposed to be for ever. A departure from that principle would have serious political ramifications and as such would constitute intervention far beyond the remit of what was envisaged for a technocratic central bank.
The ECB's main job is supposed to be stabilising prices - not redrawing the European political map. It is far from relishing the powerful hand of cards it holds.
The bank probably wishes it wasn't at the table, or better still: that there was no game underway at all.
The man was arrested in Strabane, County Tyrone, on Friday morning.
Police said he had been released unconditionally.
So when Google announced that Sundar Pichai was taking the reins on Monday, his promotion gained thousands of column inches worldwide - not least of all in his native India.
The Hindu newspaper called the news "a bonus for people of Indian-origin world over". The Times of India hailed the "quiet yet thoughtful" man from Chennai (Madras).
But his ascent is far from unique. In fact, it is becoming ever more common for major international companies to have an Indian-born CEO.
One study, by the University of Southern New Hampshire, says that Indian managers are more successful because of "a paradoxical blend of genuine personal humility and intense professional will".
Whatever the model is, it seems to be working. Mr Pichai is the latest, and the most high-profile, Indian-born CEO. You can read more about him here - but here are five more Indian-born CEOs who are making waves.
Mr Nadella, 47, who was named the head of Microsoft in February last year, was one of the first to tweet his congratulations to Mr Pichai on Monday.
On his first day in the job, the father-of-three sent an email to all staff, calling it "a very humbling day for me".
"I am... defined by my curiosity and thirst for learning," he told staff. "I buy more books than I can finish. I sign up for more online courses than I can complete.
"I fundamentally believe that if you are not learning new things, you stop doing great and useful things."
Born in Hyderabad, he joined the company in 1992 and was previously in charge of Microsoft's Cloud OS service, which powers products such as Bing, Skype and Xbox Live.
Microsoft's man at the top
After working for Nestle, then PepsiCo, Mr Banga - who is from Pune - took over as CEO of the credit card company in July 2010. He began his career with Nestle in 1981.
In a speech in April to his alma mater, the Indian Institute of Management (IIM), he outlined what he called the "grand plan" he had at the start of his career.
"Get with somebody good. Get with somebody global. Do something that interested me. That's it. So, don't stress if you haven't got a detailed plan for your life. Anyone can have a good idea or plan; what makes it great is execution."
He also outlined six main lessons for good leadership:
Named the third most powerful woman in business by Fortune magazine last year, Ms Nooyi was, like Sundar Pichai, born in Chennai.
She was named CEO of PepsiCo in 2006, having joined the company in 1994.
The company she presides over is a food and drinks giant: some of the brands owned by PepsiCo include Starbucks, Muller, Frito-Lay and Tropicana. The company says 22 of its brands are each worth more than $1bn (£640m).
"In my case, I benefited because I grew up outside of the United States," Ms Nooyi said in an interview in March.
"I understand exactly how the world works, and I could see the world through the eyes of people from outside the United States."
Mr Menezes, from Pune, is another IIM graduate. He took over as head of the British drinks giant Diageo in July 2013.
Like Ajay Banga, he began his career with Nestle in 1981.
Among the brands the company owns are Guinness, Johnnie Walker whisky, Smirnoff vodka and Captain Morgan rum.
One of his biggest moves as CEO was to buy a majority stake in India's United Spirits company, though that deal has since provided Diageo with a number of headaches.
Mr Narayen, from Hyderabad, has run the software firm since December 2007. He began his career with Apple.
"There's an Indian community that's vibrant and thriving," he said of Silicon Valley in an interview in February. "We attribute a lot of that to the importance of education that we all grew up with."
In the interview, he said Hyderabad's schools - modelled on the British public school system - helped his progression, as did having a foreigner's appreciation of the opportunity the US had given him.
Dozens of trainee drivers had MRI scans before and after they acquired "The Knowledge", memorising hundreds of journeys and street names.
The University College London team, writing in Current Biology, found brain parts linked to memory grew bigger.
They said it proved the brain could adapt to new tasks, even in adulthood.
Earlier studies of the brain of the cabbie had already noted the increase in "grey matter" in the hippocampus, an area found at the base of the brain.
However this research tried to work out if the change had happened during the intensive learning period prior to starting work, or on the job itself.
They scanned a total of 79 trainees, just before they started to learn the "All-London" Knowledge, which can take between two and four years to complete.
Would-be taxi drivers have to learn 320 routes within a six mile radius of Charing Cross, which covers a mind-boggling 25,000 streets and 20,000 landmarks and places of interest.
Throughout the process, any changes to their brains were mapped by regular MRI scans.
Compared with similar scans from non-taxi drivers, those who had attempted the Knowledge had increased the size of the posterior hippocampus - the rear section of the hippocampus which lies at the front of the brain.
As would be expected, they were better at memory tasks involving London landmarks than the non-cabbies, but this advantage appeared to come at a price, as the non-cabbies outperformed them in other memory tasks, such as recalling complex visual information.
Prof Eleanor Maguire, who led the study, said: "The human brain remains 'plastic', even in adult life, allowing it to adapt when we learn new tasks.
"By following the trainee taxi drivers over time as they acquired - or failed to acquire - the Knowledge, a uniquely challenging spatial memory task, we have seen directly and within individuals how the structure of the hippocampus can change with external stimulation.
"This offers encouragement for adults who want to learn new skills later in life."
The reasons why the brain was able to adapt remain unclear, although the hippocampus is one of the few areas of the brain in which new cells can grow.
Dr John Williams, head of neuroscience and mental health at the Wellcome Trust, which helped fund the research, said: "Only a few studies have shown direct evidence for plasticity in the adult human brain related to vital functions such as memory, so this new work makes an important contribution."

One pedestrian said the routes offered a "new perspective" on Dundee, while another said it would "breathe new life" into the Waterfront.
The grid pattern became operational on Friday morning following two years of construction work.
Dundee City Council said the project was completed on time and on budget.
Rod McLeod, 71, from Carnoustie was one of the first pedestrians to use the new route.
He said: "It's excellent. It breathes new life into the area.
"It has been a bit of a nightmare with the roads being changed, but I thought once they got it right it would be good."
Another pedestrian said: "It gives a new perspective on Dundee, it's great."
The new Slessor Gardens beside the routes will be fenced off for the rest of the winter to allow grass and trees to grow.
Contractors Sir Robert McAlpine were responsible for the £11m creation of the new routes.
Dundee council leader Ken Guild said: "Once the V&A site is complete and our illustrated fences down there are removed, you will get a straight view right across to the hills of Fife.
"It's really reconnecting the city centre with the river, which is what the whole central Waterfront project is about.

The 19th seed, who won 6-3 5-7 9-7 to reach the last eight, is due to marry her fiance, Miso Navara, in Bratislava.
"We chose this (date) because I never saw myself as such a great grass-court player," the 27-year-old said.
"We can postpone it. I'm still here and I'm playing my match tomorrow."
Cibulkova now plays Russia's Elena Vesnina in the quarter-finals.
She added: "We are still going to keep this date. We will see what's going to happen.
"If I would win tomorrow then we will change it. Then we will have to postpone it because it will be a lot of rush."
Cibulkova's win over 2012 finalist Radwanska, the third seed, lasted two hours 59 minutes.
The Slovak served for the match at 5-4 in the second set and survived a match point in the 12th game of the third before successfully serving out on her third match point against the 27-year-old Pole.
Cibulkova is on a nine-match winning run after victory in the Aegon International last month and beat 2014 Wimbledon runner-up Eugenie Bouchard in round two at SW19.
In the very first game, between FC Ufa and Spartak Moscow, Ufa's Ghanaian striker Emmanuel Frimpong (pictured above)was sent off for making an offensive gesture to the Spartak fans - triggered, Frimpong says, because he was being "racially abused for the game that I love".
"I'm going to serve a sentence for being abused ... and yet we (are) going to hold a World Cup in this country," Frimpong added on Twitter.
Zenit St Petersburg's Brazilian striker Hulk has now said racism happens at "almost every game" in the Russian league - and that it is a genuine threat to the 2018 World Cup.
Hulk has repeatedly faced monkey chants in Russia, and the player has also accused a referee of racially abusing him.
"If racism happens in the World Cup, it will be really gross and really ugly," Hulk said.
It is a stark warning from the man who is the subject of the highest transfer fee in Russian league history.
The Ghanaian Football Association has since said, in reference to the Frimpong incident, that it condemns the "vile racist abuse'' suffered by the former Arsenal player and called for the Russian Football Union, Uefa and Fifa to send "a strong signal'' to the perpetrators.
Whether that signal will be received is another matter. After all, it is not the first time that players have spoken out about racism amongst fans in Russia.
Ivory Coast midfielder Yaya Toure has even gone so far as to suggest black players could boycott the Russia World Cup.
"If we aren't confident at the World Cup, coming to Russia, we don't come," he said.
This came after Toure was racially abused by fans of CSKA Moscow during a Champions League match against his club side Manchester City. Uefa eventually forced CSKA to play their home match behind closed doors.
A recent report by the Fare network and the Moscow-based Sova Centre for information has documented 99 racist and far-right displays and 21 racially motivated attacks during the last two seasons. These figures are disputed by the Russian government.
However, when asked about Hulk's comments, Alexei Sorokin - who is running the 2018 World Cup - told journalists: "We quite naturally acknowledge the problem that clearly does not exist only in Russia, but many other countries.''
And that is indisputable.
To take one example: in 2011 Brazil's Roberto Carlos - then playing for Anzhi Makhachkala - had bananas thrown at him by Zenit fans. But more recently that has happened in Spain to Barcelona's Dani Alves, in Turkey to Galatasaray's Didier Drogba and Emmanuel Eboue and in Italy to AC Milan's Kevin Constant and Nigel de Jong.
Or look at the way England's Under-21 match in Serbia in 2012 ended in a mass brawl and violence after racial abuse directed towards the England team's black players.
And while Zenit fans launched an infamous "Selection 12" manifesto statement which demands an all-white team, there are equally notorious fans of clubs in Germany and Italy.
Racist chanting and violence have long been reported by correspondents covering games of the German side Energie Cottbus, for example, while some of the fans of Rome club Lazio are known for their glorification of fascism.
But that did not translate into particular racism problems in the 1990 World Cup in Italy or at the tournament in 2006 in Germany.
Sorokin added that it was wrong to "just take individual outbreaks in the Russian Premier League and automatically extrapolate them on the World Cup, because the World Cup is a different atmosphere, it's a different public, if you will, so it doesn't reflect automatically on the World Cup".
The first part of that statement is perhaps rather questionable, but it is certainly true that racist crowds at World Cups are not just down to the local fans.
Contentious incidents at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil included "blacked up" German fans at the Germany-Ghana game - also during which a German neo-Nazi sympathiser ran onto the pitch - homophobic chanting by Mexican fans, and racist chanting by fans of Croatia and - yes - Russia.
At the time, the head of Fifa's own anti-racism taskforce, Jeffrey Webb, admitted Fifa and the local organisers should have done a "much better job" of tackling these incidents.
He suggested that the next World Cup will have three officials at every game trained to spot discriminatory behaviour.
However, Webb now has rather different issues to deal with - he is currently on Rolex-and-Ferrari-guaranteed bail in the US accused of bribery worth millions of dollars - so his plans to tackle racism at Russia 2018 may have to be passed to someone else.
Whoever succeeds him has a big challenge - to stop the spectre of racism blighting the tournament, whether it comes from fans from inside or outside of Russia.
The incident took place near the Rose Street Brewery on Rose Street at about 21:30 on Friday.
A 33-year-old woman and a 23-year-old man were taken to the city's Royal Infirmary with serious injuries and both were later released.
Two men, aged 36 and 28, have been charged in connection with the incident.
Police Scotland said they were also keen to trace two women who were seen in the area.
The first was described as white, about 5ft 8ins, in her early 20s, with long blonde hair and wearing a white jacket, black trousers and grey Christmas jumper.
The second woman was also white, about 5ft 8ins and in her early 20s.
She was wearing a cream jacket, jeans, black knee-high boots and was carrying a black shoulder bag.
Det Sgt Andy MacRae said: "We know that many of the pubs and restaurants in the area were busy with people enjoying a night out or a Christmas party and I'm today urging anyone who witnessed this disturbance to contact police immediately."
It is an artistic protest at the deepening political crisis in Brazil.
The anonymous artist said he wanted to protect national figures from Brazil's history from seeing the shameful state of the nation.
The artist said the work was not connected to protest marches against President Dilma Rousseff planned for Sunday.
The statues, which are scattered across the city, include one of Brazil's ex-President Getulio Vargas, the country's first dictator who ruled the country from 1930 to 1945 and sought to transform Brazil from a plantation-based economy into an industrial powerhouse.
Also blindfolded was a statue of Alberto Santos Dumond, the father of Brazilian aviation and Isabel, Princess Imperial of Brazil who as regent actively promoted and ultimately signed the "Lei Aurea" or Golden Law, emancipating all slaves in Brazil on 13 May 1888.
The artist who works under an art scheme called "Project Oraculo" said that he wanted to transmit that "protest is not just about street demonstrations".
On Sunday huge protests are planned by opponents to President Dilma Rousseff to demand her impeachment on charges of having mishandled the budget and the economy.
Brazil is suffering its worse economic recession in decades.
The artist said: "The idea is to blindfold the eyes of those who can no longer do anything for the country and to avoid them helplessly witnessing the economic and political crisis in the country, unable to do anything."

"It is clear that there are other good-looking brides out there," Bayern chief executive Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said.
"But we are optimistic that Pep Guardiola will stay at Bayern."
Speaking before Bayern's Champions League meeting with Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday, Rummenigge added: "I have said that in the second half of 2015 there will be a discussion and then there will be clarity.
"That talk is still pending but it will still take place sometime before the end of the year."
Former Barcelona boss Guardiola has led German club Bayern to two Bundesliga titles since taking over in 2013, yet he questioned at the start of this season whether he was the right man for the job.
He said he would step down if he ever got the feeling somebody else would be a better choice, leading to speculation that he will leave next summer.
The figure is the value of claims for those affected by Storms Desmond, Eva and Frank for damage to homes, businesses and vehicles.
The ABI said that around £24m in emergency payments had already been paid to families and businesses.
More than 3,000 families are now in alternative accommodation.
Homes and business have made almost 15,000 claims as a consequence of the three storms, according to the ABI.
Huw Evans, the ABI's director general, said the £1.3bn was "our estimate of the total cost, but clearly these numbers could change as future claims are made but this is broadly what we expect the cost to be for the damage caused by the storms of the last month".
When asked on the BBC's Today programme if it would mean increased premiums, he said it was a "very significant event" and "clearly would have some further impact down the line, but it was too early to say what that will be".
The storms caused widespread flooding and damage across the UK in December, with Yorkshire, Lancashire, Cumbria in England and central and north-east Scotland among the worst affected.
The government has said 16,000 homes were flooded.
The ABI's figures are based on data collected from its members, which are the majority of major insurance companies, covering 3 December 2015 to 3 January 2016.
The average insurance claim for damage is £50,000, well above the average of £31,000 for the storms of winter 2013-14.
The overall bill, however, is well below the £3bn total for the storm damage caused in 2007.
The Association of British Insurers said that anyone with flood-damaged possessions should:
Customers have made nearly 15,000 claims for damaged property, and 5,600 claims for damage to vehicles.
James Dalton, director of general insurance policy at the ABI, said: "The impact of flooding will be felt for many months to come in affected areas.
"Cleaning, drying out and repairing flood-damaged properties is a major undertaking.
"Insurers and their expert teams will be there for the long haul to help communities rebuild and repair."
However, Paul Hendy of the Scottish Flood Forum said despite assurances from the industry, many people felt "abandoned and frustrated" by their insurance company.
Homeowners reported difficulties getting through to their insurer to register a claim, and often waited weeks for a visit from a loss adjuster, meaning delays before dehumidifiers were installed and further damage, he said.
"Our concern is that despite the storms being widely publicised throughout the UK, the insurance industry could perhaps have been a little bit more prepared in their response," he said.

In a letter Victorino Chua, 50, called himself an "angel turned evil".
He injected insulin into saline bags and ampoules while working on two acute wards at the hospital in Stockport.
At the Court of Appeal in London, judges rejected the argument his minimum jail term of 35 years was "manifestly excessive".
His lawyers argued the letter should not have been admitted as evidence, but Lord Justice Treacy, sitting with two other judges, ruled it was not "arguable".
Chua injected the insulin into saline in June and July 2011.
It was unwittingly used by other nurses, causing a series of insulin overdoses to mainly elderly victims.
Chua was convicted of murdering patients Tracey Arden, 44, and Derek Weaver, 83, in 2015 at Manchester Crown Court.
On sentencing, the trial judge Mr Justice Openshaw described his actions as "indescribably wicked".
He said it was a "strikingly sinister and truly wicked feature of the case" that Chua did not know who would fall victim to his actions.
EJ, who is 20 years old this year, has been visiting Loch Garten for 15 years and has reared 25 chicks over that time with mate Odin and other males.
She has been seen on a webcam at the RSPB Scotland reserve near Grantown on Spey feeding fish to the chick.
Earlier on Wednesday, there were two eggs left in the nest, which was buried under snow last month, still to hatch.
The chick hatched on Tuesday evening.
RSPB staff and volunteers at Loch Garten dubbed the nest "the snow doughnut" after it was covered in thick snow during a cold spell in April.
EJ and her mate Odin are the most successful breeding pair at the Loch Garten site.
Over previous seasons, 17 of their chicks have fledged.
Ospreys migrate from west Africa to Scotland to breed and can be seen hunting for fish from rivers and lochs.
RSPB Loch Garten's Chris Tilbury said: "After the horrendous weather conditions at the end of April, plus EJ's ripe-old-age of 20, it's been a nerve-wracking wait to see if these eggs would hatch.
"Everyone's just delighted and there's a real buzz about the centre - we're all desperate to get a view of the chick and to see it being fed by EJ.
"We're hoping that the remaining two eggs will also hatch over the next couple of days."
The conservationist added: "The hatching of an osprey chick is always cause for celebration, but each year that EJ returns, our delight is mixed with a little apprehension.
"She's the most successful female osprey ever at this nest, but this is her 14th breeding season here and she's 20 this year, so her fertility may well be waning.
"But she's come up trumps yet again - this is her 26th chick to hatch at this nest and we have high hopes that by the end of the week she'll have chicks 27 and 28."
The Russians, identified as Eduard Shishmakov and Vladimir Popov, are at large. They are suspected of being state intelligence agents.
Russia has called the allegations absurd. Montenegro is close to joining Nato - a move criticised by Russia.
Two pro-Russian opposition leaders and nine Serbs are among the 14 indicted.
Those leaders are Andrija Mandic and Milan Knezevic - MPs in the Democratic Front Alliance. Mr Mandic called the charges politically motivated and said they were aimed at weakening the opposition.
The 14th person on the list of those charged is a Montenegrin.
The alleged plot dates back to a series of arrests hours before Montenegro's parliamentary elections in October 2016.
At the time, Serb paramilitaries and Russian nationalists were blamed.
Nato membership remains highly controversial in the small Balkan country, which became independent in 2006.
Serbia and Montenegro - both bombed by Nato planes in the 1999 Kosovo war - were originally one country after the break-up of Yugoslavia.

Russia rejects claim of Montenegro plot
Rumours and spies in the Balkans
The opposition says the alleged plot was really a "false flag" operation by the Montenegrin authorities, intended to boost support for Prime Minister Milo Djukanovic. His ruling Democratic Party of Socialists won the election.
According to special prosecutor Milivoje Katnic, a terrorist attack was planned in order to destabilise Montenegro, seize power and block the path to Nato membership.
On Tuesday President Donald Trump approved ratification of Montenegro's Nato membership. The process is almost complete for Montenegro, poised to become the 29th Nato member.
This week, a White House official, speaking anonymously, cited "credible reports" that Moscow had backed a plot against Mr Djukanovic.
Russia's Foreign Ministry has condemned Montenegro's Nato accession, saying "it runs counter to the core interests of the people of that country and is damaging for the stability of the Balkans and Europe as a whole".
It accused Washington of pursuing "the logic of confrontation in Europe, where new dividing lines are being drawn".
It was a first win for new Os boss Alberto Cavasin while defeat leaves Hartlepool without a victory in seven games at home this season.
Orient had the best openings in the first half but trailed at the break.
A deep free-kick saw Ollie Palmer head against the crossbar, but Pools took the lead in first-half injury time.
A corner from Lewis Alessandra was nodded back at goal by Lewis Hawkins for Josh Laurent to knock in his first professional goal.
Hawkins was denied a second by a fine, one-handed save from Alex Cisak and three minutes later the Os levelled.
Sandro Semedo was picked out on the right side of the area and his low shot beat keeper Trevor Carson at the near post in the 55th minute.
Palmer got his first goal seven minutes later, curling his finish low around Carson.
The striker doubled his tally in the 71st minute when he was fed by Gavin Massey and made no mistake.

Rashford made two substitute appearances for the senior team at Euro 2016 after making his debut in the build-up to the tournament.
The 18-year-old has never previously been in the under-21 squad.
Gareth Southgate's team, who won the Toulon tournament in May, top their qualifying group after five games.
Rashford became the youngest player to score on his England debut when he volleyed in after only 138 seconds against Australia in May, aged 18 years and 208 days.
He scored eight goals in 18 games for United last term but has yet to feature under new boss Jose Mourinho in the current campaign.
Full squad:
Goalkeepers: Angus Gunn (Manchester City), Jordan Pickford (Sunderland), Joe Wildsmith (Sheffield Wednesday)
Defenders: Calum Chambers (Arsenal), Ben Chilwell (Leicester), Brendan Galloway (West Brom, loan from Everton), Kortney Hause (Wolves), Rob Holding (Arsenal), Mason Holgate (Everton), Dominic Iorfa (Wolves), Matt Targett (Southampton)

The High Court ruled NHS England can prescribe Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) to those at high risk.
NHS England had said it was up to councils to do so as they are in charge of preventative health.
The Welsh Government said it would review the evidence available.
Anti-retroviral and post-exposure HIV drugs are already readily available, but a spokesman said the Welsh Government would look at developing a position on the use of PrEP as a preventative.
Cadan ap Tomos, the Welsh Lib Dem equalities spokesman, said: "The Welsh NHS needs to take the initiative and introduce PrEP as a matter of urgency.
"Clinical trials and use by health services abroad has shown a significant reduction in HIV contraction rates for those taking PrEP.
"The Welsh Health Secretary [Vaughan Gething] now needs to show leadership and introduce this drug for Welsh patients.
"Of course, PrEP is not a magic bullet. Wales urgently needs to improve its testing services, as well as its sex and relationships education, but any opportunity to help prevent the spread of HIV must be grasped."
The ruling in England by Mr Justice Green said health bosses had "erred" in arguing it was not their responsibility.
NHS England has already announced it will appeal the ruling - and even if that goes against health bosses it is not a given that Prep will be considered effective enough to warrant NHS funding.
Federer, 34, and Hingis last played mixed doubles together at the Hopman Cup in Australia in 2001.
The 17-time Grand Slam champion said he is "really excited".
"I looked up to her when I was younger, I thought she was the most unbelievable talent," added Federer, who is a year younger than Hingis.
"She's almost my age and she was winning Grand Slams while I was still at the national tennis centre and I couldn't believe how good she was."
Hingis, 35, has won five Grand Slam singles titles in her career, including Wimbledon in 1997 at the age of 16.
She came out of retirement for a second time in 2013 and has since enjoyed great doubles success, winning five titles in 2015, including the mixed doubles and the women's doubles at the US Open.
Federer won Olympic gold in the men's doubles in Beijing in 2008 and silver in the men's singles in London four years later.
"I've always said the Olympics is very important to me," added the world number two.
"Every Olympic Games has been a super-amazing experience, an eye-opener, a great learning curve for me, seeing other athletes, getting inspired and motivated, carrying the flag is such a proud moment in my career and my life as a person, to have done that twice for Switzerland - in Athens and in Beijing - was incredible."
Senegal midfielder Diame, 29, joins for an undisclosed fee on a three-year deal after rejecting a new contract at Hull.
Clark, 26, has signed for a £5.1m fee on a five-year contract, having been at Villa since he was 11.
He was only 12 months into a five-year deal at Villa, who were relegated to the Championship with Newcastle in May.
"Ciaran is a very versatile player," said Magpies manager Rafa Benitez. "As a left-footed centre-back, he can also play left-back and as a defensive midfielder."
Clark was part of the Republic's Euro 2016 squad and has scored 10 goals in 159 Villa appearances since making his debut in August 2009.
Former Wigan Athletic and West Ham United player Diame scored 10 goals in 45 appearances for Hull last season, including the winning goal as they beat Sheffield Wednesday 1-0 in the play-off final at Wembley.
"Everybody close to me knows how desperate I am to play in the Premier League again, but when Newcastle comes in for you it makes you think," he told Newcastle's club website.

After landlords and creditors agreed to a massive cut in what they were owed last month, £100m was still needed.
That was to be funded by property sales and a new loan facility. Both fell short of the mark leaving a £50m hole.
Talks to secure a last minute reprieve from Sports Direct faltered over the pension scheme's £571m deficit and it was perhaps always fanciful that a buyer could be found before that millstone had been safely winched aboard the pensions lifeboat fund.
While failing to secure funding, Retail Acquisitions directors succeeded in paying themselves a lot of money, with £8.4m paid out in the weeks after BHS was acquired for just £1 from Sir Philip Green.
The payment was for "professional fees" but there are questions as to how much of it ended up in the director's pockets. There were also monthly service charges and one BHS source told me "these directors extracted a lot without providing much value in return".
The role of Sir Philip Green in all this is not over. He, remember, oversaw the period of its decline.
According to retail analysts Conlumino, when he bought it, BHS attracted some 13% of all clothing shoppers through its doors, helping BHS attain a 2.3% share of the clothing market.
Last year just 8.2% of clothing shoppers went through the doors which translated into just a 1.4% share.
Sir Philip Green's focus was arguably on more successful and glamorous parts of his empire such as Topshop.
The Arcadia group, of which BHS was a part, provided him with hundreds of millions in dividends.
As a recent owner he may yet be forced by the pensions regulator to plug some of the £571m deficit in the pension scheme.
He is thought to have offered £80m, he may be asked for more.
The borders watchdog said there was "no evidence" the Home Office was setting reasonable time limits for cases.
In one case, a person who applied for asylum in December 2014 was given a medical assessment date in August 2017.
The Home Office said it "accepts, or partially accepts" the findings.
The report by Independent Chief Inspector of Borders and Immigration David Bolt also said the rising number of asylum claims "posed a risk" to the efficiency and effectiveness of the system.
"Between 1 June and 30 August 2015, the Home Office received almost 50% more claims (9,529) than in the corresponding period in 2014 (6,695)," it said.
The report, which looked into asylum casework between March and July last year, said one way to get independent verification of torture was a "Medico-legal Report" (MLR) by a specially trained medical worker following an examination.
Home Office guidance says such reports should be obtained within five months of a case being put on hold to await an MLR.
But inspectors said: "The only two organisations (the Helen Bamber Foundation and Freedom from Torture) recognised by the Home Office as able to provide independent verification of torture resulting in release from detention were overwhelmed by the volume of applications for an MLR."
Home Office data showed 452 applicants were released from the Detained Fast Track scheme - though not necessarily released from detention - in 2014-15 having obtained an appointment with the Helen Bamber Foundation or Freedom from Torture.
But the report said its sample of 15 asylum seekers "indicated that claimants faced lengthy delays, typically around two years, before an MLR could be provided".
It said the Home Office's five-month target was not "grounded in reality" and those affected faced a "lengthy period of uncertainty".
It added: "The longer the wait, the greater the likelihood the claimant will acquire alternative rights to remain, for example on the basis of having established a family life in the UK."
Mr Bolt's report made nine recommendations, including that the Home Office should "review the arrangements for handling claims of torture".
"We are committed to treating all asylum claimants with respect and dignity, and we will continue to improve on current practice in this area," said the Home Office.
Freedom from Torture said the vast majority of its reports are produced within the agreed five-month timescale.
Director of policy and advocacy Sonya Sceats said: "Our reports go through a very rigorous medical and legal review process. We regard the report by the chief inspector of borders and immigration as misleading in respect of our MLRs and we will be bringing this to his attention."
Rhondda MP Chris Bryant called for reassurances over the Welsh-language channel as the UK government announced a full-scale review of the BBC.
Culture Secretary John Whittingdale restated his view that S4C should aim for similar savings to the BBC.
S4C said it had faced "substantial cuts" but would stress to ministers the "uniqueness" and value of its service.
The channel receives the bulk of its money - £75m - from the BBC licence fee, with £7m from the UK government plus some commercial income.
Launching a Green Paper and public consultation on the future of the BBC on Thursday, Mr Whittingdale told MPs S4C was one of the services whose funding had been protected during the previous BBC charter period.
Referring to his statement on the licence fee deal earlier in July, the minister added that "S4C will be expected to find similar savings to those in the BBC".
However, Mr Bryant called for a guarantee of the Welsh channel's future, urging Mr Whittingdale to consult the Welsh government and the Welsh people.
"The secretary of state says that the funding of S4C was protected in the last charter period - that is not the view of anybody in Wales," he said.
"It was not. It's actually been cut by a third since 2010 and he's just suggested that the further 20% cut to the BBC would bring in a similar shrinkage to S4C.
"It's barely mentioned in the Green Paper at all, so I presume that he's not really looking at this with any seriousness."
In response to similar calls from Llanelli MP Nia Griffith, Mr Whittingdale said there was a commitment to S4C "within the next couple of years" and he hoped to have discussions with its management in the near future.
S4C chairman Huw Jones said: "Discussions with DCMS [Department for Culture, Media and Sport] are scheduled to begin very soon in relation to the combined funding from the licence fee and government which, together, provide us with the means to make programmes and deliver the S4C service.
"The substantial cuts we have already faced since 2010 provide a significant context and throughout these discussions we will be emphasising the uniqueness of the S4C service, and its value and importance, both culturally and economically."
The consultation document said the BBC's role in supporting native languages within the British Isles was "particularly important".
"This is a small market with limited potential to be served effectively by commercial broadcasters, and therefore a key area where public funding can support under-served audiences," it continued.
However, the document noted that "audience reach has been falling across some indigenous language services over the last few years, particularly in Wales".
It added that the higher hourly cost of Welsh-language radio programming compared to English-language output "raises concerns about value for money".
The party's manifesto proposes ditching the "triple lock", in which the pension is raised in line with the highest of average earnings, prices or 2.5%.
From 2020, its plan is to cut the 2.5% element, to leave a "double lock".
Labour and the Liberal Democrats have vowed to maintain the triple lock throughout the next Parliament.
The demise of the triple lock under Conservative plans has long been predicted. However, many pensions commentators say it is political considerations that have determined the timing.
Hugh Nolan, president of the Society of Pension Professionals, said: "Pensioners have been the main beneficiaries of political tinkering with pensions and benefits recently, reflecting the power of the grey vote over unregistered youngsters."
Richard Parkin head of pensions policy at Fidelity International, said that Theresa May was using "a strong lead in the opinion polls to kill some of the sacred cows of Tory policy for the elderly".
Darren Redmayne, chief executive of Lincoln Pensions, said it was a brave decision to water down the policy alongside changes to social care contributions and winter fuel payment cuts.
"These reforms will all have significant impacts on middle-class pensioners that are traditional Conservative voters," he said.
Figures from the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) showed that total pension spending had increased by 25% since 2010-11, compared with a 14% rise in earnings and a 15% rise in prices, prompting the IFS economists to declare that any long-term commitment to the triple-lock would be "unaffordable".
A recent review by former CBI director-general John Cridland, who was appointed as the government's independent reviewer of state pension age last year, recommended that the triple lock be withdrawn in the next Parliament.
All the parties will maintain the triple lock until 2020, and even after that there may be relatively little difference to pension rises whichever party is in power.
For example prices, as measured by inflation, are predicted to rise by about 2.3% in the second quarter of 2020, according to the Bank of England - very close to the 2.5% pledge included by Labour and the Lib Dems from 2020. Wage growth is predicted to be more than 3% by 2019, potentially setting the mark for pension rises, although these forecasts are notoriously difficult.
"It is pretty rare for both average earnings and inflation to be below 2.5%. Hence getting rid of the 2.5% element of the triple lock does little to change the projected long-run generosity of the state pension," said Carl Emmerson of the IFS.
The divide between the parties' policies does rekindle the debate over the fairness of the state pension, paid to 13 million people, and the level of benefit entitlement for different generations.
Tom McPhail, head of policy at Hargreaves Lansdown. said: "The triple lock has largely done its job in improving pensioner incomes in recent years and protecting the retired population from the effects of the post 2008 recession. A double lock still provides a more robust level of security than is enjoyed by the majority of the working population."
However, TUC general secretary Frances O'Grady said: "The UK has more than 1.5 million pensioners in poverty. And one of the lowest state pensions in the advanced world.
"The triple lock was meant to restore the state pension after it spent decades falling behind wages. That job isn't finished. This is a bad call."
Adam Watt, 38, was attacked in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, in January and died later in hospital.
Nicholas Grant, Joseph Zulu and Jacqueline Brewin deny his murder.
St Albans Crown Court heard from neighbours who tried to save him immediately after he was stabbed.
Earlier in the trial the jury heard Mr Watt was stabbed outside his Evans Wharf flat on 8 January after being confronted by drug dealers Mr Zulu, 23, of no fixed address, and Mr Grant, 18, of Sunnyhill Road in Hemel Hempstead.
They had been driven close to his address by Ms Brewin, 47, of Sacombe Road, Hemel Hempstead, who then drove them away after the attack, the prosecutor said.
More news from Hertfordshire
The jury heard how Mr Watt woke neighbours Linda and John Fowler by banging on the door of their home.
In a statement read in court Mrs Fowler said: "Adam said: 'Please don't leave me here to die. Please don't leave me here.'
"I could see Adam on the floor. I could see blood on the wall.
"Adam said: 'Please hold my hand. I don't want to die alone'."
The jury also heard as she tried to control the bleeding from Mr Watt's chest wound, he begged her husband to collect a heroin stash from his flat - which Mr Fowler refused to do.
Earlier in the trial the court heard Mr Watt became involved with hard drugs 10 years ago.
The 38-year-old had also suffered from anxiety and depression and had been in a constant battle with addiction, his father said.
It is alleged the accused confronted Mr Watt after he had either stolen money or run off with drugs without paying.
Mr Zulu also denies conspiracy to supply drugs, but Mr Grant has pleaded guilty to that offence.
Now the Conners are coming back, more than 20 years after the last episode of Roseanne was aired.
All the original cast are returning - after getting up to some successful and surprising stuff in the intervening two decades.
In another reality, instead of President Trump, we might now be talking about President Barr.
In 2012, the real Roseanne ran for president. She didn't get very near the White House, though - she failed to gain the presidential nomination for the Green Party and ended up running for the Peace and Freedom Party, gaining 67,000 votes.
As well as that, she's had her own talk show, done stand-up comedy, judged Last Comic Standing, hosted Momsters: When Moms Go Bad and starred in the reality show Roseanne's Nuts, about her macadamia nut farm in Hawaii.
And in 2015, she revealed she has macular degeneration and glaucoma, saying at the time her vision was "closing in now".
Goodman was brilliant as Roseanne's husband Dan and he's remained one of America's best-loved actors, plying his trade in films like The Big Lebowski, The Flintstones, 10 Cloverfield Lane and Kong: Skull Island.
On TV, he's starred in political comedy Alpha House and middle-age coming-out sitcom Normal, Ohio - and reunited with Barr for a pilot of a sitcom called Downwardly Mobile in 2012. But it was never made into a series.
That same year he spoke about a 30-year battle with alcoholism, telling the Guardian: "It was becoming more and more debilitating. It was life or death. It was time to stop."
Metcalf found fame as Roseanne's little sister Jackie, but has certainly stepped out of her on-screen big sister's shadow.
She's had Emmy nominations for guest spots in 3rd Rock from the Sun, Monk and Desperate Housewives - and in 2016 got a hat-trick of Emmy nominations in a single year, for Getting On, Big Bang Theory and Horace and Pete.
On stage, she's had four Tony Award nominations for her appearances on Broadway - including for Misery in 2016 and A Doll's House, Part 2 this year.
Gilbert, who played sardonic younger daughter Darlene, is now a co-host and executive producer of CBS talk show The Talk.
She hosts with Sharon Osbourne, Aisha Tyler (both pictured), Sheryl Underwood and Julie Chen - who shared the Daytime Emmy Award for outstanding entertainment talk show host last month.
She's also had parts in The Big Bang Theory, Twins, The Class and ER and has published a book called The Imperfect Environmentalist, A Practical Guide to Clearing Your Body, Detoxing Your Home, and Saving the Earth (Without Losing Your Mind).
She's married to hit songwriter and one quarter of Four Non Blondes Linda Perry, and recently got together with John Goodman to give us a taste of what a Roseanne reunion might look like.
DJ - Roseanne and Dan's son - is all grown up.
Fishman, who started out in Roseanne at the age of six, went back to high school to study performing arts and technical theatre craft. He continued to have small roles in TV shows and films, and became a co-host on Barr's talk show.
His Facebook biog says: "In recent years Michael has continued his pursuit of acting while gaining technical acclaim with an eye toward producing and directing."
Lecy Goranson played older daughter Becky for five seasons until she went to college, after which Sarah Chalke took over the role. However, Goranson returned, on and off, towards the end of the show's life.
Goranson will play Becky in the reboot. However, in a nice touch, ABC says Chalke will also appear, but in "another role".
Since Roseanne, the actress has had small parts in films like Hilary Swank's Oscar winner Boys Don't Cry and guest starred in TV shows including Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and Sex and the City.
Not many people have had major parts in two of the biggest sitcoms in American TV history.
But Galecki, who appeared as Darlene's boyfriend-then-husband David Healy in Roseanne, went on to (and still does) play Leonard in The Big Bang Theory.
In between, he played Mark Corrigan in the (terrible looking) pilot for an American version of British comedy Peep Show.
Reports say he's expected to return to Roseanne in some way - although this hasn't been confirmed by ABC.

An eight-year-old boy also suffered an injury to his arm during the incident in Tomlin Road in Northfields, at about 18:50 BST, on Thursday.
Leicestershire Police said the owner of the dog was being questioned by officers but had not been arrested.
A force spokeswoman said the dog had been seized and its breed would be determined later.
The Antony Patrick Jones will be the Royal National Lifeboat Institution's fastest lifeboat - capable of speeds twice that of their existing fleet.
Mr Jones died in 2002, leaving a £1m donation to the RNLI in Bridlington, East Yorkshire, in his will.
The craft will be housed in the town's new lifeboat station.
Mr Jones received compensation after mistakes during an operation left him paralysed and blind.
As well as the lifeboat charity, he left money to the RSPCA and the Riding for the Disabled Association when he died at the age of 46.
Richard Dunk, chairman of the Bridlington RNLI, said Mr Jones' interest in the charity was mainly through his late mother, Terri, who was a member of the station's fundraising guild.
Mr Dunk said: "It is very sad that Terri will not be here to witness the arrival of the new lifeboat named after her son, but she knew that we were all incredibly grateful for Antony's legacy, and that the new lifeboat will be a fitting and long-lasting tribute to his memory.'
Mr Jones' cousin, Jackie Powell, said she was proud his legacy would help to save lives at sea for "decades to come".
Work has begun on the new lifeboat station on Spa Promenade, which is to replace the old building on South Marine Drive.
Great-grandfather Peter Congdon, 67, from Truro, Cornwall, scooped the money in a rollover in May.
The Merlin MS Centre said Mr Congdon's wife Rosemary had multiple sclerosis and his family wanted there to be a "lasting legacy" to her.
The charity said the exact donation was yet to be finalised but it would be a "substantial amount".
Loraine Long, the centre manager, said: "Peter and his family were very keen that they could help provide an additional service for people with multiple sclerosis and other neurological conditions.
"A hydrotherapy pool is a much-needed facility and by locating it alongside our centre, subject of course to planning approval, this will provide a wonderful natural therapy for people living with a range of conditions and to the wider Cornish community."
The widower, who has three children, 10 grandchildren and one great grandchild, has previously raised thousands of pounds for community groups.
In the run-up to buying the successful ticket on 27 May, Mr Congdon had won three days in a row on the National Lottery Scratchcards.
Ms Long said: "Everyone here is so delighted for Peter's incredible pledge.
"We would like to say a truly heart-felt thank you to them. This is our own lottery win."
The charity, based in the Cornish hamlet of Hewas Water, supports those living with the incurable condition.
The Volkswagen was stopped by officers in the early hours of Friday morning after it was spotted on a wet and unlit stretch of the M56 near Manchester Airport.
The children were aged 20 months and six months, Altrincham Today reported.
The driver is accused of speeding, driving without due care and attention and driving without insurance.
PC Rob Hughes, of Greater Manchester Police's road policing unit, said: "I was appalled that anyone would drive at these speeds on an unlit section of motorway on a wet road surface.
"I have never seen such a blatant disregard for the safety of the children."

Championship runners-up Institute know they must score in Friday's match at Carrick as a 0-0 draw would be enough for the Premiership team on away goals
Institute scored in the 40th minute through a Michael McCrudden shot.
But Carrick equalised within two minutes with a Martin Murray penalty after a hand ball by Niall Grace.
Visiting skipper Michael Surgenor headed just wide from a corner in the second half while Carrick sub Fabio O'Brien headed in only to have it disallowed for offside.
In stoppage-time Murray shot just over for Carrick who may feel they have the slight edge going into the second leg.
Institute are hoping to make up for the disappointment of narrowly missing out in last year's play-off, when a stoppage-time goal saw them beaten 5-4 on aggregate by Ballinamallard United.
Carrick, meanwhile, are aiming to secure a third year in the top division, having won the Championship title in 2015.
"We are confident we can go up there and score a goal," said Institute manager Kevin Deery.
"The penalty set us back a bit going in at half-time, especially having played so well for so long.
"We probably just need to show a bit more composure on the ball."
Nottingham City Homes, which manages the 13 tower blocks that house 1,700 residents and one shopping centre, said it was a "priority".
The company said the sprinklers would be in corridors and communal areas, and residents would be asked if they wanted them in their flats too.
It follows last week's Grenfell Tower fire, which killed at least 79 people.
Updates on this story and more from the East Midlands
A total of 1,507 flats are in the 13 blocks, all owned by Nottingham City Council, and include a tower block in the Victoria Centre.
Sprinklers are being installed as an "added safety measure", not because it is a requirement, a Nottingham City Homes spokeswoman said.
Lucio Valentino, who lives in the Manvers Court tower block, in Sneinton, said sprinklers were a good idea.
However, the 47-year-old was unsure how many residents would want them in their flats because there were risks of them being set off in a small fire, damaging belongings - and not everyone could afford insurance.
"We should have had sprinklers in hallways ages ago. And in flats, yes, but there is the downside of the insurance. Are people going to risk losing everything and not get it all back?"
A Nottingham City Homes spokeswoman said timescales were being worked out.
She added: "We are also, like all housing organisations across the UK, collating information requested by central government about our housing stock.
"We will continue to work closely with Nottingham City Council to install sprinkler systems; both ourselves and the council believe it's a priority, and we believe this is a firm base from which to move forward in the interests of all our residents."
The man was killed in southern Poland as he was hit by lightning while descending a mountain.
In Paris, a birthday party in Parc Monceau was struck, injuring 11 people, eight of them children. Several are in a life-threatening condition.
Three people were seriously hurt at a youth football match in Germany.
The children injured in Parc Monceau on Saturday afternoon were aged about nine. Six of the injured are in a serious condition.
They were struck after seeking shelter under a tree, police said.
An off-duty firefighter, Pascal Gremillot, happened to be nearby and was able to rapidly administer first aid and heart massages. Officials said the situation would have been much worse if he had not been there.
The referee was one of three adults at the match in Hoppstaedten in the south-west of Germany who suffered serious injuries, police in Kaiserslautern said.
He took a direct lightning hit, suffered a cardiac arrest and was taken to hospital by helicopter.
Another man was also airlifted to hospital and a third was taken by ambulance. All three injured men were in their 40s, the police added.
Initial reports said 35 people had been injured at the match - however, many were taken to hospital as a precaution.
Witnesses at the match said there were no dark clouds and the sky was blue when lightning struck just after the final whistle.
Torrential rain also halted play at the French Open as defending champion Serena Williams was about to start a match against Kristina Mladenovic.

The storms developed because a very warm and humid air mass covered mainland north-west Europe at the same time as the air higher up in the atmosphere was becoming colder, creating a very "unstable" atmosphere.
This instability manifested itself in the storms which developed extremely rapidly once the air had warmed up sufficiently.
Over much of the area, the temperature climbed to 25 Celsius, more than enough to trigger the storm clouds. Such storms produce intense rainfall, hail, and numerous lightning strikes and it is typical for them to be at their most widespread and intense in the early afternoon. They are not unusual over the Continent during the summer, although today's outbreaks were perhaps more widespread than normal.
Further storms are likely over Europe on Sunday: the areas expected to see the storms are southern and eastern Germany, the Czech Republic, and the western half of Poland.
In addition to the widespread nature of Saturday's storms, the fact that they came at a weekend, and during otherwise fine, warm weather, made it more likely that they would have an impact on people.

The video shows five men asking Yemen to stop supporting Bashar al-Assad.
The four-minute video's authenticity has not been verified.
A Yemeni rights group said five Yemeni officers had been studying at a military academy in Aleppo but went missing in August, Reuters reported.
They had reportedly disappeared en route to Damascus from Aleppo on their way home after completing their studies, Reuters quoted the Hood group as saying.
The four-minute video, which was posted on jihadist forums, shows the identity cards of five men, one of whom appears to be a lieutenant colonel, as well as pictures of them in military uniform.
The five are pictured sitting below a black flag emblazoned with "al-Nusra Front" in Arabic.
The video includes an interview with one of the men who says the group were sent to Damascus to help quell the uprising.
The man, who identifies himself as Mohammed Abdo Hezam al-Meleiky, says: "I ask the Yemeni government to cut all logistical and military ties because Bashar al-Assad's regime is a regime that is killing its people and that is what we saw with our own eyes when we came here."
The al-Nusra Front - or The Front for the Defence of the Syrian People - says it comprises jihadis who have returned from other wars to fight in Syria. It has claimed responsibility for numerous attacks on pro-government targets.
Activists estimate more than 27,000 people have died in the violence since the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad began last year.
Yemen's government - which is battling its own Islamic insurgency at home - has refused to criticise Mr Assad's tactics to quell the uprising in Syria.
Last November, it was one of just three Arab League states - along with Syria and Lebanon - to vote against suspending Syria from the bloc over its crackdown.
Aleppo has seen days of fighting as government forces and rebels seek to gain control of Syria's largest city.
The party is committed to compulsory age-appropriate sex education in all of England's schools, shadow education secretary Lucy Powell has announced.
Labour wants to make personal, social, health and economic (PSHE) classes - which cover sex education - statutory.
The government has pledged to keep the subject's status under review.
Currently, sex-and-relationships education is compulsory from age 11 under the national curriculum - but this does not apply in academies, and the government announced last week that all schools must have plans in place to become academies by 2022.
Parents are also allowed to withdraw their children from parts of the subject.
Labour also points out the government's official guidance to all schools, including academies, on sex-and-relationships education has not been updated since 2000, "before the smartphone generation were even born".
The party says police in England investigated more than 13 times as many cases of sexting among under-16s last year as in 2013, according to figures obtained through a Freedom of Information request.
Of 39 police forces in England, 18 responded to Labour's request for information.
In 2013, the 18 forces investigated 51 cases of under-16s "sending or receiving explicit messages and images on a mobile telecommunications device".
By last year, this figure had risen to 665.
Labour says these figures have ballooned since the emergence of smartphone apps such as Whatsapp and Snapchat at the end of the last decade.
There have also been reports of young teenagers lying about their age to access dating sites such as Tinder and Grindr.
Labour highlights "increasing evidence that access to new media and technology is creating new and unprecedented risks for young people".
"Youngsters are being pushed into adult territory well before they are ready," said Ms Powell.
"Far more needs to be done to equip young people with the resilience and knowledge they need to stay healthy and safe in relationships both off and online, and to spot the signs and feel confident to report manipulation and exploitation."
She said making PSHE compulsory in all state-funded schools in England would be "one of the first things Labour does in government".
Good PSHE teaching would also help protect children from radicalisation and substance abuse, and boost child mental health, the party argues.
A Department for Education spokeswoman said high quality PSHE was "central" to its aim of providing all young people "with a curriculum for life that prepares them to succeed in modern Britain, and we expect all schools to teach it".
To support schools, the department had funded and produced a range of guidance and support on issues ranging from consent to internet safety, she said.
The government had asked leading head teachers to produce an action plan for improving PSHE, she addded.
Labour's intervention follows increasing pressure on the government to make sex-and-relationships education compulsory in state primaries and secondaries.
In January, the chairmen of four key House of Commons committee's wrote to Education Secretary Nicky Morgan, saying the subject was a "crucial part of preparing young people for life".
It could "help protect young people from abuse in many forms", argued the letter from the education, health, home affairs and business committees.
But Mrs Morgan said that while she agreed PSHE was crucial, making it statutory "would do little to tackle the most pressing problems with the subject".
She said the government would instead focus on improving the quality of PSHE teaching, following Ofsted's finding that 40% of it was less than good.
Lucy Emmerson, co-ordinator of the Sex Education Forum agreed the guidance on sex and relationships education was "woefully outdated" with "nothing to say on consent, sexting and pornography".
"The government's decision not to make SRE statutory in all schools undermines young people's right to healthy and safe relationships, and flies in the face of children, parents and MPs themselves who want this to be a guaranteed part of every pupils' education."
A PSNI officer visited Loreto Grammar School as part of a youth initiative.
Sinn Féin MLA Barry McElduff said he had been "inundated" by phone calls from "concerned and angry" parents and past pupils.
A spokesperson for Loreto said the comments were down to "misunderstanding."
The school orginally tweeted: "Thanks to Chief Inspector @PoliceServiceNI who informed Year 14 of opportunities with RAF Cadets #buildingcommunity"
Mr McElduff said the PSNI "must answer why it is promoting the British armed forces in school visits."
"Our schools should be places of learning where young people and others can expand their horizons and opportunities.
"They should not be used to recruit young people for imperialist conflicts and to be trained in warfare.
"I will be raising this matter with the PSNI and asking them to explain their actions," he added.
School Principal Grainne O'Hanlon said the talk had been "only one of a broad range of educational opportunities presented to the pupils for personal and skills development".
She added: "The school is aware of the interest generated by our Twitter feed thanking a guest speaker from the PSNI who presented to the pupils volunteering opportunities in a social and sporting skills development programme with the Royal Air Force Air Cadets.
"This is a youth initiative catering for all abilities, with members from across all faiths and communities. "
A PSNI spokesperson said: "The officer was invited to the school to provide information on a number of issues including employment issues focusing on careers advice, social media and online safety.
"Whilst there he was asked about the RAF Cadets, with which he is privately associated, and he responded to a number of questions.
"The officer attended the school in his own time, on a voluntary basis and no complaints were made."
Speaking on BBC's Talkback programme former army officer and Ulster Unionist MLA Doug Beattie said there was a degree of "fake outrage" involved.
"I know there are sensitivities about this and entrenched views about this and I can understand those views," he said.
"This is a youth organisation. Nobody who joins these cadets is expected to go on and have a career in the military.
"What it does do is it gives them an opportunity to get involved in avionics, possibly to fly gliders, it gives leadership and gives confidence. Nobody is forcing them to do it." | Dominika Cibulkova beat Agnieszka Radwanska in a match lasting almost three hours to move closer to the Wimbledon final, which takes place the day she is due to get married.

Nicknamed Eric by the charity, the bird was discovered after going walkabout in the village of Kirtling, near Newmarket, on Saturday evening.
His owner Anne-Marie Kirby, who lives nearby, came forward on Tuesday to claim her emu, whose name is Monty.
She said she was thrilled he was back, as was his emu "girlfriend" Mathilda.
Inquisitive Monty took a stroll along a driveway in The Street after being "spooked by something" on Saturday, the RSPCA said.
He was captured by the homeowners and kept in their stable overnight.
RSPCA inspector Jane Folly appealed for his owner to come forward, believing the tame emu was someone's pet.
"This must have been quite an unexpected sight for the member of the public - not the sort of animal they normally see walking up their driveway," she added.
Ms Kirby said she was very relieved Monty was safely back with Mathilda, who had been "pining" for him.
The site, called Playpen, was located on the Tor network used to anonymise web-browsing activity.
Fluckiger was "heavily involved" in the running of the members-only site, said the US Department of Justice (DoJ).
The investigation into the site has led to the rescue of 49 American children who had been subject to abuse.
Fluckiger of Portland, Indiana, was "co-administrator" of the site, said the DoJ, and helped Playpen members see and read "tens of thousands" of messages relating to the sexual abuse of children.
He managed membership lists, enforced site rules and deleted any content that was not related to indecent images of children.
Two other men who helped run the site, David Lynn Browning of Kentucky and Steven W. Chase of Florida, have pleaded guilty and are due to be sentenced soon.
Across the US, 48 active child abusers have been prosecuted as a result of the investigation, said the DoJ. It added that, in total, 200 prosecutions had resulted from the long-running investigation.
Playpen was located on a server on the well-known Tor network which hides the identity and location of browsers by encrypting data and bouncing it between different computers.
Law enforcement agencies caught the site administrators, and many members of Playpen, by using techniques that stripped them of the anonymity Tor can provide. Legal challenges against this investigative technique have been filed by some alleged Playpen members.
Once the site's administrators had been arrested, the FBI kept the site going for 13 days to gather information about members.
Ryan Counsell, 28, a Muslim convert from Nottingham, allegedly spent years stockpiling military equipment.
He told Woolwich Crown Court he was "an obsessive person" who collected things.
Mr Counsell, who denies all charges, said he was "interested in terrorist movements" for "religious" purposes.
Mr Counsell, who converted to Islam in 2011, said his interest in the Philippines had been prompted by watching the series New Lives in the Wild by the presenter Ben Fogle about an American man who had moved there.
"It was about a man from America who wanted to find a life sustainable with his income, so he moved there," he told Woolwich Crown Court.
He said he had also considered other countries including Egypt, Somalia and Bosnia, but Somalia was rejected because his Somali-born wife considered it too dangerous.
Married father Mr Counsell denied he planned to join the terrorist group Abu Sayyaf, which is affiliated with so-called Islamic State.
He described his interests as religion, conspiracy theories, history, and military equipment, along with "wanting to live off-the-grid so to speak, living without connection to electricity or gas in a caravan or a tent".
He told the court: "I have always been a very obsessive person."
He added he collected military field manuals and material on Islam.
He also said he was interested in survivalism but was "actually quite scared of leaving the house" and did not like travelling.
Mr Counsell is charged with preparing acts of terrorism by obtaining information about Islamic terrorist groups in the Philippines, arranging to travel to the Philippines to join and fight for an Islamic terrorist group, and purchasing equipment and clothing for use when having joined such a group.
The trial continues.

Justice Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre said the haul was the biggest in the country's history.
Mr Aguirre said 10 people had been charged.
Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has pursued a bloody war on drugs since taking office six months ago, encouraging police to shoot on sight.
More than 6,000 drug users and dealers are suspected to have been killed by both police and vigilantes since the crackdown began.
Barrels of chemicals used to produce methamphetamine, or "shabu" as it is known in the Philippines, were seized during a raid in the capital Manila, Mr Aguirre said.
Six people were arrested the previous day, also in Manila, when 560kg (1,200lb) of suspected methamphetamine, worth an estimated $67m, was found in one raid.
Mr Duterte has faced allegations of widespread human rights violations over his war on drugs and been accused of targeting low-level users and pushers rather than high-level dealers.
He has expressed few regrets about the policy, once saying: "Hitler massacred three million Jews... There's three million drug addicts. I'd be happy to slaughter them."
He caused controversy earlier this month after admitting that, as mayor of the southern city Davao, he had personally killed three men he said were suspected of rape.
He ran Davao for 20 years, earning the nickname "The Punisher" for his brutal approach to tackling crime.
Critics say he supported death squads in the city and continues to do so as president.
It also named three Shining Path leaders as drug traffickers and froze their assets in the US.
The once-powerful Shining Path has been on the US state department's list of terrorist organisations since 1997.
The treasury said the guerrilla group had evolved into a "criminal narco-terrorist organisation".
In a statement on Monday, it said that the Shining Path taxed the production, processing and transport of cocaine.
In 2013, Peru overtook Colombia as the world's largest producer of coca, the raw ingredient of cocaine, according to figures by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime.
The three Shining Path leaders singled out under the US Kingpin Act are Florindo Flores Hala and brothers Victor and Jorge Quispe Palomino.
Florindo Flores , better known as Comrade Artemio, was arrested in Peru in 2012 and is serving a life sentence for terrorism.
Victor and Jorge Quispe remain at large and on the Peruvian security forces' list of most wanted men.
They will have their US assets frozen and US citizens will be banned from engaging in transactions with them.
The Shining Path posed a major challenge to the Peruvian state in the 1980s and early 90s.
After the capture of its main leaders its influence was greatly reduced, but the Peruvian government has long warned that the guerrilla group had shifted its attention to the illegal drugs trade.
US treasury official John Smith said that designating the group as narcotics traffickers would support "the government of Peru's efforts to actively combat the group"
It took a High Court judge less than a minute to issue a winding up order against County Developments (Northampton) Limited (CDNL) at a hearing in Birmingham.
The petition was brought by sub-contractors Buckingham Group, which has halted construction of the East Stand at Northampton Town's Sixfields home.
It claims it is owed £2.9m by CDNL.
Northampton Town chairman David Cardoza and his father Anthony Cardoza are the only company directors listed for CNDL.
Buckingham Group said it had to stop work on the development of the East Stand twice - initially when contractors 1st Land Limited went into administration and again when contracting company CDNL failed to pay in full.
In a statement, Buckingham Group said: "We stopped work because we were not paid."
CDNL's assets will now be liquidated in order to repay creditors.
A spokesman for Northampton Borough Council said it will be talking to potential developers.
It read: "The winding up of CDNL today means that Northampton Borough Council is now free to talk to a wider range of people, including the official receiver, about the future development of the land, which is how the loan that we have made to the football club will be paid back.
"We will be meeting with interested parties soon.
"Our priority is to protect the public purse and ensure the loan is repaid in full, while also offering support to safeguard the future of the football club."
"With that in mind, we have made proposals to David Cardoza and offered to work with the club to avoid being liquidated by the HMRC petition and we await a decision from David Cardoza on that."
Mr Cardoza was not at the hearing and was not available for comment.
MP Michelle Rempel said on Wednesday that a refugee-friendly message is misleading asylum seekers about how welcoming the country is to claimants.
More than 11,300 people have illegally entered Canada from the US this year.
The influx coincides with the election of US President Donald Trump, who stood on an anti-immigration platform.
Mr Trudeau, on the other hand, has spoken of Canada welcoming refugees, saying in January: "To all those fleeing persecution, terror and war, Canadians will welcome you."
But in the first two weeks of August, more than 3,600 people crossed into the country from the US. As a result, processing and sheltering the migrants has put a strain on government resources.
Ms Rempel, who is in charge immigration issues in the Conservative shadow cabinet, said Mr Trudeau's Liberal party had no real plan in place to tackle the problem.
"Our system now is in shambles," she said.
Ms Rempel pointed to a June report from the Canadian Press on a government document suggesting refugee claimants could face up to an 11-year wait for a hearing if asylum claims continue to rise.
The MP pointed Mr Trudeau's January message as feeding the myth that receiving refugee status in Canada is easy.
End of Twitter post by @JustinTrudeau
On Wednesday Mr Trudeau held a meeting with a task force on irregular migration in Montreal, Quebec - the province which has taken the brunt of the surge in border crossings.
The city's Olympic stadium is sheltering hundreds of migrants, while a temporary tent city for migrants in neighbouring Ontario is expected to stay open for two months and house about 500 people.
But while Mr Trudeau praised the government for "doing a very good job" increasing the speed with which claims were being processed, he echoed the tougher tone the Canadian authorities have been taking in recent weeks.
"Canada is an open and welcoming society because Canadians have confidence in our immigration system and have confidence that we are a country based on laws," Mr Trudeau told reporters.
"You will not be at an advantage if you choose to enter Canada irregularly. You must follow the rules and there are many."
The government has been warning would-be asylum seekers that people who do not have legitimate asylum claims face deportation.
Many of those crossing the border are Haitians who fear that the Trump administration in the US would remove their temporary protected status, brought in following the 2010 earthquake, from deportation. It expires in 2018.
However, Reuters news agency said Canada fears a "huge surge" because people from El Salvador, Nicaragua and Honduras also face losing their protected status in the US next year.
Staring into space from an altitude of 5,100m in the Atacama desert, the Apex telescope has imaged as much of our galaxy as it can see.
It has sampled this vast, thin strip of the southern sky using radiation that sits between radio and infrared waves.
The detector is effectively a highly sensitive, super-chilled thermometer.
Tiny changes in temperature are registered by a bank of 295 sensors, kept at less than 0.3 degrees above absolute zero, called the Large Bolometer Camera (Laboca).
This instrument is at the heart of Apex - the Atacama Pathfinder Experiment - a 12m telescope that has been operating on Chile's high Chajnantor Plateau for 10 years.
The newly completed map, called Atlasgal (the Apex Telescope Large Area Survey of the Galaxy), has already produced 70 scientific papers. Its first big tranche of data was released in 2009.
Today's release covers an area 140 degrees long and three degrees wide: more than four times the span of the previous iteration. It is also a much more precise, detailed map.
"Atlasgal provides exciting insights into where the next generation of high-mass stars and clusters form," said Timea Csengeri from the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy in Germany.
The survey complements existing data on the northern Milky Way, collected by other telescopes. But the southern view of our galaxy is of particular interest because it includes the galactic centre.
It also means that promising regions of the map can be investigated in much greater depth by Alma, the powerful, 66-strong cluster of antennae that sits on the same plateau and also peers southwards.
The Atlasgal team has combined their data, based on radiation with a wavelength of 0.87mm, with measurements from two space telescopes: similar but lower-resolution images from Planck, and shorter-wavelength infrared data from Spitzer.
These different layers have been superimposed in a huge, downloadable image (displayed in part above) which shows the Atlasgal data in red, the Plank data in fainter red and the Spitzer measurements in blue.
"Atlasgal has allowed us to have a new and transformational look at the dense interstellar medium of our own galaxy, the Milky Way," said Leonardo Testi from the European Southern Observatory.
"The new release of the full survey opens up the possibility to mine this marvellous dataset for new discoveries. Many teams of scientists are already using the Atlasgal data to plan for detailed Alma follow-up."
Other astronomers can download Atlasgal data from ESO's website and the work is described in the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics.
A scar, half an inch wide, stretched from just above the elbow and up over his shoulder.

Repetitive strain had injured Mr Lee's muscles, deforming them and making surgery the only option to save his illustrious career.
Holding his arm out so I could have a proper gawp, Mr Lee paused.
"It's like a badge of honour," he said.
It seemed like the confirmation I'd been expecting - that gaming in South Korea had reached a dangerous place, where professionals and amateurs alike were destroying their lives and their bodies.
But Mr Kang sees it very differently. They're athletes, he argues, and injuries happen.
One of his colleagues later suggested that if I'd been interviewing the world's most-decorated marathon champion, I wouldn't be surprised if they had damaged knees.
Nor would I suggest a footballer needing surgery was "too far", the phrase I'd used to describe Mr Lee's arm.
He had a point.
Professional gaming - e-sport - is a huge deal in South Korea. There's a government department dedicated to its development.
These gamers are like professional footballers, their matches broadcast - on TV and online - in English as well as Korean.
The best earn hundreds of thousands of pounds every year: a mixture of salaries, prize money and sponsorship deals.
Mr Lee is a Starcraft player for KT Rolster, one of South Korea's bigger teams. The scar is a result of being at the top of his game for 10 years.

How good are Kim Jong-un's hackers?
On the day I visited, KT Rolster's Starcraft players were training hard to be just like Mr Lee.
The noise of their practice produced an almost hypnotic tap-tap-tap-tap backing track in a room which resembled the kind of place you'd be subjected to when sitting a computer-based exam.
Each PC in its own cubicle, gamers with their headphones on, the room screamed "do not disturb".
The difference here is that these cubicles feel lived in. Family pictures, the remains of snacks, and the odd toothbrush. And then there's the gifts. A lot of gifts.
The professional gamers are overwhelmingly male, but their most-obsessive fans are female, lavishing the boys with the kind of attention otherwise reserved for the singing K-Pop stars, the country's other booming entertainment export.
But unlike the fad of Gangnam Style, e-sports is something South Korea feels it can bring to the world.
"I believe that e-sport has plenty of potential [to be regarded as a proper sport], although perhaps not as much as physical games," Mr Kang said.
"E-sports is in the process of becoming a mental sport like chess."
Down the hallway - and past a room filled with bottles of "sports" drink Pocari Sweat, another sponsor - I found the training room for KT Rolster's League of Legends team.
League of Legends - LoL - is arguably the biggest of the e-sports titles and is all about teamwork and group strategy.
The team here joked about going out and drinking beer - and teased about who got the most, and the least, gifts.
As well as training together, the teams live together in some digs a short walk from the training office.
I'd expected a room full of gadgets and other technology. These are big gamers, after all. But no - aside from a TV, there was very little in the way of gaming entertainment.
Here, their charming housekeeper holds fort, and does what she can to keep the team healthy.
"They spend most of their time sitting with little exercise," she said, while washing up, "so I wanted to avoid cooking high-calorie foods, but they love naughty foods like that."
She loves them, she told me. "They're adorable."
At the top-end of gaming, the players are undeniably well looked after, healthy and happy - even if the gruelling routine means they clearly don't enjoy playing anymore. It's work.
But for the non-professional, the impact heavy gaming is having on the health and social lives of young Koreans is of great concern to many.
After visiting KT Rolster, I went to another part of Seoul to visit what is known as a PC Bang. They're all over South Korea - internet cafes, essentially, but with high-end gaming PCs. Hundreds of them, in a big room kitted out like a club - with its own bar. It's open 24 hours a day.
There have been a number of instances where gamers have died in these PC Bangs. They are rare, but make global headlines.
South Korea has made numerous attempts to curb the amount of online gaming its young are playing. In 2011, it passed the Shutdown Law - dubbed the Cinderella Law - which prevented children aged 16 or below from playing online games between 10:30pm and 6:00am.
The rules were later amended to allow parents to make their own choice about when gaming access should be curtailed in the home.
The country is the world leader in treatment for all sorts of technology dependency, but gaming is, by far, the most common issue. It's one that has parents literally dragging their children to addiction centres set up all over South Korea.
At KT Rolster, coach Mr Kang is responsible for looking after his team's wellbeing - but he also recognised the negativity around hardcore gaming.
"When people immerse themselves in something and become addicted to it, then they can cross the line.
"Our bodies might be very tired or in poor condition. These things happen not only while playing games. Even when people work out, some people can have a heart attack."
He stopped, keen to move on from what he saw as a predictable, perhaps tedious, line of questioning.
During my time with KT Rolster my point of view flip-flopped between seeing gaming as either serious business, or a serious problem.
With the relentless tap-tap-tap of keyboards still echoing in my ears, I came to the only reasonable conclusion I could: it's both.

Liberty House Group said it was confident the business, which also has centres in Bolton and Wednesbury, West Midlands, would flourish within the group.
Bimlendra Jha, chief executive of Tata Steel UK, said: "For speciality steels this is an important step forward in securing a future for the business under new ownership."
He also praised the performance of workers, trade unions and management in improving the company's performance.
Roy Rickhuss, general secretary of Community, said there was still a lot of work to do before the sale was completed.
"Community has been campaigning for months for longer-term certainty for these highly skilled jobs and we will now engage more directly with Liberty to understand their plan for the business.
"The steelworkers concerned produce some of the world's most advanced steel products and we will need to be convinced this sale is in their best interests."
The deal has been welcomed by the government. Business Secretary Greg Clark said it was a "great opportunity" for Liberty House Group.

Car manufacturers are developing the technology, with the help of £19m government funding.
The BBC's Richard Westcott has a closer look at one of the new designs.
The forward, 25, has been charged with a Grade F offence of "other contrary behaviour", which carries a minimum ban of eight games if he is found guilty.
The incident occurred in Saturday's Super League defeat by Catalans.
Acton appeared to grab the shirt of Greg Bird, lift him and push him back to the floor while he lay injured.
The request for a delay was granted, provided Acton does not feature for Leigh in Friday's Super League match at Warrington.
Grade F offences are the most serious on the Rugby Football League's disciplinary scale.
Abdul Rakib Amin, who is believed to be 26, was seen urging western Muslims to join the fighting in the jihadi film.
He has now spoken to ITV's Good Morning Britain.
He said: "I left with the intention not to go back, I'm going to stay and fight until the Khilafah (rule of Islam) is established or I die."
Amin said: "I left the UK to fight for the sake of Allah to give everything I have for the sake of Allah.
"One of the happiest moments in my life was when the plane took off from Gatwick Airport, I was so happy, as a Muslim you cannot live in the country of Kuffars (disbelievers).
"I didn't know how to fight with weapons before, so everyone has to go to a training camp, and after the training camp you go to an Islamic training camp."
It is understood he attended Sunnybank Primary and St Machar Academy in Aberdeen.
The original 13-minute video, There Is No Life Without Jihad, was posted by accounts linked to Isis.
It is due to be held in Andersonstown Leisure Centre on Thursday night.
Fr Pat McCafferty accused Mr McConnell, the senior pastor of the Whitewell Metropolitan Tabernacle, of holding anti-Catholic views.
In a statement to Radio Ulster, Pastor McConnell said while he criticises the Catholic Church and its priests, he does not criticise Catholics.
He said he was going to Andersonstown "with an open heart and mind".
However, Fr McCafferty said: "I don't preach against Protestantism - we preach the gospel in the Catholic churches of west Belfast.
"He sees west Belfast, he sees the people there, as living in darkness, and they're not.
"They're not living in darkness, they're good people, they're a Christian people and they don't need a fundamentalist and anti-Catholic preacher coming and pretending to be their friend."
Pastor McConnell, who is originally from east Belfast, started the Whitewell church, in 1956.
He said Fr McCafferty's comments were "very cruel".

Resuming on 297-5, Liam Norwell claimed the crucial wickets of Ben Cox (69) and Joe Clarke (135) as Worcestershire were bowled out for 411, a lead of 31.
Dent hit 10 fours to help the hosts reach 204-4 with six overs remaining.
But Henry bowled George Hawkins and Kieran Noema-Barnett as Gloucestershire closed on 217-6, a lead of 186 runs.
The Kiwi bowler enjoyed a fruitful day with the bat and ball as his 3-60 followed an entertaining 42 off 40 balls which gave Worcestershire their slender first-innings lead.
Donnacadh McGuire was found with significant injuries in Tyrconnell Street shortly before 10:30 BST on Tuesday.
He was taken to hospital, where he later died. A man has been arrested and released on bail.
The police said it was "possible" that the boy's injuries "were sustained as the result of a collision with a vehicle".
However, the PSNI added: "We are working to establish exactly what happened and we are keen to speak to witnesses".
Insp O'Brien said: "I would ask anyone who was on Tyrconnell Street this morning between 10am and 10.30am to please get in touch."
Fr Paul Farren, a priest at St Eugene's Cathedral, has been speaking to the boy's family.
"It is just unspeakable. The loss of a child at such a young age is the most awful tragedy.
"Words are meaningless at a time like this."
Lorraine McGoldrick, who is a neighbour, arrived at the scene shortly after the incident.
"It is so tragic. People were in shock and everybody was speechless.
"The people here are amazing and they will support everybody."
All O'Keefe's scalps came as India lost seven wickets for 11 runs to be 105 all out - captain Virat Kohli making his first Test duck in 45 innings.
Australia, bowled out for 260 in their first innings, then moved to 143-4 to lead by 298 runs.
Captain Steve Smith, dropped three times, was unbeaten on 59 at the end of day on which 15 wickets fell.
O'Keefe claimed three wickets in one over, first dismissing top-scorer KL Rahul (64) before Ajinkya Rahane and Wriddhiman Saha fell for ducks.
All of his six wickets came in the space of 24 deliveries as the 32-year-old claimed career-best figures in his fifth Test.
Despite Ravichandran Ashwin dismissing David Warner (10) and Shaun Marsh for a duck, Smith and Matt Renshaw (31) steadied the innings to put Australia on top.
Only one team has chased more than 300 to win a Test in India - India scored 387 to beat England by six wickets in 2008.
The first stage of the project will cover some 3,000 handwritten documents over the next four years.
The cost - more than $20m (£12m) - will be borne by Japan's NTT Data technology company.
Eventually, the library says it hopes to make available online all its 82,000 manuscripts.
"The manuscripts that will be digitised extend from pre-Columbian America to China and Japan in the Far East, passing through all the languages and cultures that have marked the culture of Europe," said Vatican's librarian Monsignor Jean-Louis Brugues.
The 3,000 documents to be scanned digitally over the next four years include copies of works of classical Greek and Latin literature and mediaeval and Renaissance illuminated manuscripts.
The library, founded by a 15th Century Pope, also contains important works of mathematics and science, law and medicine from earliest times up to the present day.
The long-term aim is to digitise 40m pages of documents
In the 1980s, the Vatican persuaded Japan's Nippon Television to provide major funding for the restoration of the Sistine Chapel, the BBC's David Willey in Rome reports.
Alex Farmer volunteered at a veterinary practice alongside her day job before starting the Whitby Wildlife Sanctuary.
The herring gull is the most common bird the sanctuary rescues, with vets often treating shot or poisoned birds.
Ms Farmer will receive her Animal Action Award from broadcaster Bill Oddie at the House of Lords on Tuesday.
The sanctuary cares for more than 300 animals and receives food donations from Whitby Fish Market and local shops.
The International Fund for Wildlife Rescue said the gull was a "much-maligned species which is often the target of cruelty".
Ms Farmer, 27, said: "The end goal for me is always to have a successful rehabilitation and release back into the wild.
"People often say don't you get sad to see them go when it's time for release, but that moment is the most rewarding of all."
The 32-year-old defender's contract at National League Forest Green was terminated by mutual consent on Sunday, ending his third spell at The New Lawn.
He made just 10 league appearances for the Gloucestershire outfit this season.
Former Aldershot and Shrewsbury centre-back Jones returns to Newport, for whom he made 45 appearances in 2014-15.
He also previously played for the south Wales club between February 2004 and March 2006.

Mourinho has masterminded plenty of wins in big games down the years, but he usually does it with a defensive approach and by setting up with a team that, first and foremost, is very difficult to break down.
On Sunday, he flipped that model on its head. United played with two up front and with wing-backs who were high up the pitch - they were on the front foot and went at Chelsea from the start.
It meant United produced a brilliant attacking display as well as a convincing defensive one that was tactically aware of the different threats that Chelsea posed.

Mourinho asked Ander Herrera to man-mark Eden Hazard and he did it brilliantly, but United's game-plan went much further than that.
They did not give Chelsea an inch of space anywhere on the pitch and did not allow them to get into any type of rhythm.
It started from the front, where Marcus Rashford and Jesse Lingard never stopped pestering the Blues defence, and Paul Pogba, Marouane Fellaini and Herrera seemed to win every meaningful battle in midfield.
When the ball did reach Blues striker Diego Costa, he always seemed to end up on the floor because Eric Bailly and Marcos Rojo put him under so much pressure.

United started the game so well and at such a high tempo that it seemed to take the wind out of Chelsea's sails.
I've played in games like that where I was surprised at the way the opposition were set up or they came at us quicker than expected but, usually, it takes about 15 minutes to figure it out.
In that time you think 'well, we are all over the place at the moment but let's hang in here and we will get our rhythm back'. Eventually you can take control of the situation, even if you do go a goal down.
United just did not allow that to happen, because they were constantly in Chelsea's faces.
Stopping Hazard was only part of that. Yes, he slipped through the net a couple of times when United tried to man-mark him when they lost in the FA Cup at Stamford Bridge in March.
This time he did not get any joy at all, but Chelsea's problems at Old Trafford this time were not just because Herrera did a much better job than Phil Jones managed in that match.

When N'Golo Kante and Nemanja Matic play together in the Blues midfield, as they did against United, I think there is a genuine issue with their attacking play.
Defenders know that if Kante and Matic are playing, the ball is not going over the top. Costa does not make the runs for starters, which tells you everything.
They are both phenomenal midfielders but they are not going to deliver that sort of pass - there is a reason why Chelsea look far more dangerous when Cesc Fabregas is in the team.
Fabregas came on in the last 10 minutes at Old Trafford, when Chelsea were crying out for him in the first half as they were very predictable in possession.
When Chelsea tried to find Costa, their passes seemed to be too slow and too obvious. He kept having to come short, with Rojo or Bailly staying close to him and knowing exactly what he was going to do.
There was no variation in their play and, crucially, they did not get the basics right either, which is very unlike them.
United seemed to win every knockdown, tackle, or second ball in midfield, all of which helped them keep all the momentum.
They ran out deserved winners and kept alive their hopes of a top-four finish.
In my eyes, Herrera's performance was so good it made him a Mourinho player for life.
Mourinho now knows that if he needs someone to do a man-marking job - something ugly - he has the type of player who is clever and disciplined enough, and also has the physicality to do it.
The United manager will also have a bit more trust in the ability of young players like Rashford and Lingard after seeing them perform so well in such a big game.
Their pace gave something United different up front compared to when Zlatan Ibrahimovic leads the line.
Ibrahimovic has been brilliant this season and I still think he will be the man Mourinho looks to for the second leg of their Europa League quarter-final against Anderlecht on Thursday.
But having to choose between him and Rashford, who looked so sharp, is a good problem for Mourinho to have at such a busy time of the season.
Chelsea's trip to Goodison Park is the most difficult of their six remaining fixtures - Everton are flying at home, where they have won seven league games in a row.
Going to West Brom will be tricky too, because I am pretty sure Baggies boss Tony Pulis will set up exactly the same way he did against Liverpool on Sunday.
Pulis basically played with six at the back - four centre-halves and wingers that drop in as full-backs, which is a nightmare to play against - Liverpool were quite lucky to get their winner.
So, the Blues could drop points at The Hawthorns too, but I think they will absolutely wipe the floor with the teams they play in their four home games.
When you go through Tottenham's run-in, it is much harder, and they basically have to win all of their games to have a chance of winning the title.
Spurs will have to do it the hard way if they are going to be champions, but they have got the quality and depth in their squad to do it.
With the way they are playing at home, they have given themselves a chance - now they need more slip-ups from Chelsea.
Jermaine Jenas was speaking to BBC Sport's Chris Bevan.
Hosts Malpas were leading 3-0 against West Mon when the Division Three East C match was abandoned for fighting.
Malpas' Lewis Bowden received the biggest WRU ban, nine weeks, with Gareth Sefton out for three. Malpas also banned a fan for life.
West Mon players Samuel Edwards (six weeks), David Redwood (two) and Dion Perry (two) were also banned.
The WRU stated it "takes these matters very seriously and is committed to promoting the positive values of rugby union".
Erick Maina, 15, who was originally from Kenya, was found hanged in Fazakerley, Liverpool, on 15 November.
Insulting comments about Erick and a swastika were found near Maricourt School in Maghull and in a nearby park.
The boy, who cannot be named, admitted racially aggravated criminal damage at South Sefton Youth Court last month.
James Coleman, 18, of Buckfast Close, Netherton, who also admitted the offence, will be sentenced on 16 December.
The court heard the boy attended the same school as Erick, who was described as a committed Christian and keen charity worker.
He had been drinking in nearby Balls Wood Park before daubing the graffiti, which was reported to police.
CCTV at the school captured Coleman and the boy at the scene, and they were also seen buying white paint and a paint brush at a local supermarket.
Police found several paint-stained items of clothing at the teenager's home. He and Coleman were arrested shortly afterwards.
District judge Ian Lomax said binge drinking was "no excuse", and described the boy's behaviour as "reprehensible".
He said he must have known the impact the graffiti was going to have.
The boy has also been ordered to pay £250 compensation to the school to help with the cost of clearing up the graffiti.
After the sentencing, Jo Lazzari, of the Crown Prosecution Service, said: "This teenager was responsible for painting hugely offensive racist graffiti at a school that had just lost one of its pupils in tragic circumstances.
"The callousness and cruelty of his actions are almost beyond belief. The suffering of the bereaved family can only be guessed at."
Police said the consequences of the incident on the A74(M) near Lockerbie at around 14:30 on Sunday could have been "catastrophic".
A passing Audi A6 was hit and its windscreen extensively damaged by the impact.
Police said nobody had been hurt but it had been "very lucky" that the incident had not resulted in "serious injury".
PC Jordan Kerr said: "This was and act of utter recklessness and the consequences could have been catastrophic."
Anyone with any information about the incident has been asked to contact police.
The cost of repairing the damage to the car has been estimated at about £350.
The pileated gibbon was born several weeks prematurely, and there were fears that it would not survive.
The zoo began the breeding programme in 2001 and staff are "cautiously optimistic" they have achieved their first success with the rare primate.
Pileated gibbons are classed as endangered by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature.

The baby gibbon's parents are both nine years old, with its mother Shukdi born at Zoo d'Anson in France.
Curator of Mammals Neil Bemment said: "This is Paignton Zoo's first surviving pileated gibbon baby - I'm really pleased.
"As we have been trying to breed this species for 15 years, but alas our previous female was not a good mother."
Historic documents belonging to Durham Cathedral's Priory Library are being scanned in high resolution in conjunction with Durham University.
The collection has been described as being "of international significance".
Once in online form, the records will be made available for academic research and public viewing.
The books were originally used by the Benedictine monks of Durham until the dissolution of monasteries by Henry VIII from 1536-41.
Many collections across the country were broken up, but Durham's remained intact and includes "masterpieces of calligraphy... spanning a millennium of European culture", the university said.
Lisa Di Tommaso, head of collections at Durham Cathedral, said: "It is one of the most complete in situ collections in the British Isles with the oldest pieces dating back to the 6th Century. They belonged to the monks who fled Lindisfarne.
"We keep the collection locked away in a very controlled environment with a cool temperature and low lighting so digitising it will enable people to have much greater access to some lavishly hand-illustrated manuscripts."
There are more than 300 volumes in the cathedral's collection and Ms Di Tommaso believes the success of the Lindisfarne Gospels exhibition in 2013 shows there is a strong interest in such works.
The first volumes are available to view online later, with others being added as the scheme progresses.
Dr Keith Bartlett, director of culture at Durham University, said: "Just to look at some of the manuscripts as they're being digitised is wonderful, seeing the colours, the richness and the beauty of the works of art."
The project is expected to cost about £1.25m and about £250,000 has already been raised.

Andrew Holland, 24 of Campbell Avenue, Blackpool, collided with three-year-old Lucie Wilding as she stepped out of her front gate.
Holland was ordered to pay £829 in fines and costs by Lancaster magistrates.
Footage captured on the family's CCTV camera was played to the court.
The child suffered scrapes, bruises and bumps to the head and her parents said she is still suffering from anxiety.
Lucie's mother, Lauren Howarth, said: "There was just blood all down the side of her face and she was just screaming, just screaming.
"It was awful. All she was doing was just stepping outside her front gate. Never for one minute would I ever think that a cyclist would hit my daughter on the pavement."
Leaving court Holland said he had written to the family to apologise, a claim denied by Lucie's parents.
CNN said Venezuelans would now be able to access its information without charge on the internet.
Venezuela's National Telecommunications Commission (Conatel) accused CNN of "defaming and distorting the truth".
The accusation came after CNN broadcast a report on alleged passport fraud at the Venezuelan embassy in Iraq.
The report alleged that Venezuelan Vice-President Tareck El Aissami was directly linked to the granting of 173 passports, including to members of the Lebanese group Hezbollah, which is designated a terrorist group by the US and other Western powers.
Venezuelan Foreign Minister Delcy Rodriguez gave a news conference on Wednesday in which she dismissed the allegations.
She accused the whistleblower behind them of being an "agent in the service of international intelligence agencies" and of having links to Venezuelan opposition groups.
The ban on the US news channel comes at a time of rising tension between the United States and Venezuela.
On Monday, the US treasury department sanctioned Vice-President El Aissami for allegedly trafficking drugs.
In its statement, the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) described him as a drug "kingpin" who worked with traffickers in Mexico and Colombia to ship drugs to the US.
Mr El Aissami accused the US of imperialist aggression.
Tension rose further late on Wednesday when US President Donald Trump posted a photo of himself in the White House meeting Lilian Tintori, the wife of jailed Venezuelan opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez.
Mr Lopez is serving a 14-year jail sentence for inciting violence at mass protests in 2014. Mr Lopez, who leads the Voluntad Popular (Popular Will) party says the sentence was politically motivated.
Before the tweet, President Maduro had said: "I don't want problems with Trump".
But after the tweet was posted, Foreign Minister Rodriguez wrote on Twitter that she rejected "the meddling and aggression of US President @realDonaldTrump who tries to give orders in our fatherland".
She also tweeted that President Trump had "sided with the boss behind violent acts" while President Maduro had proposed "initiating a new era of respectful relations" between the two.
Mexico agreed to transfer Guzman in May after the US guaranteed he would not face the death penalty.
But the ruling means it could be months or even years before he is sent to the US, where he faces murder and drug smuggling charges.
Guzman is being held in a maximum security prison near the US border.
He was arrested in January after six months on the run following his escape through a tunnel in his jail cell. He had already escaped a maximum security facility once before, spending 13 years at large.
One of the appeals argues that the statute of limitations has run out on some crimes Guzman is accused of in the US, his lawyer Jose Refugio Rodriguez told Associated Press.
Guzman's defence also argues some of the accusations lack direct evidence.
West Yorkshire Police said the bodies - believed to be two women and a man - were found in the East End Park area of the city after officers were called shortly before midday.
The force said there appeared to have been a small fire at the property.
Acting Detective Inspector Mark Atkinson said: "We believe the deaths are likely to have occurred in the early hours of Saturday".
He said: "We would like to hear from anyone who has seen the occupants of the address on Friday."
A cordon is in place at the address in East Park Street and police remain at the scene.
Post-mortem examinations are due to be carried out to establish a cause of death, the force said.
And for many struggling in the weather in this East Midlands city, working out the referendum repercussions made heavy weather.
"England may well lose out. We'll be worse off," one shopper told me.
I went to Leicester to gauge reaction to the Scottish referendum decision to stick with the UK.
There was an early sign among some that it may carry a big political price.
"They've got their parliament, but we haven't. That's just not fair," I was told in no uncertain terms by another local. She wanted a parliament for England and more powers for her city.
So in English cities like Leicester, the debate is already under way about any post-referendum powers.
Leicester City Mayor Sir Peter Soulsby said any deal should include giving city halls the ability to raise tax.
"We should have the same range of powers to raise revenue as our continental cousins and our American friends," the Labour mayor said.
"That will enable us to re-empower local democracy. This is a wonderful opportunity for us in the cities to be able to govern ourselves."
The prime minister has already hinted at devolution for English cities.
"It is also important we have wider civic engagement about how to improve governance in our United Kingdom, including how to empower our great cities," said David Cameron in his Downing Street statement.
"And we will say more about this in the coming days."
It will now be up to English MPs to start to shape it all.
But Leicester South MP Jon Ashworth said it's important not to rush ahead of public opinion.
"I've got views on having more powers for cities like Leicester, Nottingham and Derby and the county councils, but we have really got to listen to what people in the East Midlands want," the Labour MP told me.
"We've got to think carefully about this and not have David Cameron in Downing Street telling us what we are going to have."
Government minister and Broxtowe MP Anna Soubry is also cautious, but for other political concerns.
"We have (Labour) one party states in cities like Leicester and Nottingham, and just look at the things they have done.
"I don't believe they are inclusive. And they don't represent the views of all of the people of the city," she said.
"I'm not in favour of regional devolution. Labour tried that and it was a disaster. But I accept there is a good argument for cities and our shire county councils to have more powers, and these are the discussions we now need to have," she added.
Even before the political dust from the referendum vote has settled, the debate over the extent of devolution for our English cities has begun already.
The sexualised games were part of a forfeit during an orientation camp, according to the reports.
Students, who said they felt pressured to take part, were also asked to answer a range of personal sexual questions.
NUS promised "strong disciplinary action" against anyone responsible.
"NUS does not condone any behaviour or activity that denigrates the dignity of individuals," it said in a statement on Tuesday. "These activities are neither approved nor endorsed."
The university said students were meant to feel "safe, secure and respected" at all times and it was "very disappointed" that such activities had surfaced.
The optional student-run orientation camps are designed to welcome first-years and integrate them into university and campus life.
But students speaking to news outlet the New Paper (TNP) said they had felt pressured to take part in increasingly sexualised activities.
One of the forfeits allegedly required a pair of male and female first-year students to re-enact a rape scene between a young man and his younger sister.
"The girl had to lie on the floor, and the guy... then kicked open her legs and did push-ups while lying on top of her," Kim, a 19-year-old student told TNP.
"The girl looked very uncomfortable and covered her face throughout the whole thing."
"It's high time this issue is underscored and something done of it," an NUS student who attended an orientation camp for two days told the BBC.
"Those who argue that people should just 'lighten up' miss the fundamental point about basic respect."
The student added that there were "cheers with crude references to male genitalia" involved in the camp that he attended.
However, Olivia Azali, an NUS graduate student said there were no such activities involved in the camp she attended as a first-year student.
"There was nothing as gross," she said. "Ours was pretty mild."
Reports of inappropriate activities at freshman camps at various universities surface each year in Singapore.
In 2014, NUS made headlines after complaints that a male student was stripped to his shorts before being blindfolded and bound with tape, as female students licked whipped cream off his neck.

Manuel Pellegrini's side missed out on their first Champions League final, losing 1-0 in their semi-final second leg in the Spanish capital.
Gareth Bale's cross was deflected in by Fernando, settling a tie Madrid dominated, with City uninspired.
But, though he was disappointed with their performance, BBC Radio 5 live pundit Waddle says there are still grounds for optimism for City.
"It's no disgrace at all, losing to Real Madrid, it's just the manner of the defeat," said Waddle.
"Manchester City never played at a tempo. They looked like they were a bit afraid of Madrid. The home side could have won by three or four.
"Goalkeeper Joe Hart kept City in it over the two legs and in Madrid they had nothing to lose - score the first goal and you win the tie basically - but they passed short and square.
"If you go for it and end up losing, the fans will walk away thinking: 'We had a real go.' But you can't say that about City.
"Sergio Aguero was shackled and there was nothing going forward. They were looking for creativity but found nothing."
Waddle said City reaching their first semi-final in the competition represented a "good season in the Champions League".
But he added: "The goal was to win it because they've invested heavily for that - and a club of their stature should be challenging for it.
"They have got a fantastic academy, facilities as good as any in the world, owners who are as wealthy as any in the world, and over the past few years they have won trophies. They are a force now."
City's immediate concern, before Pellegrini is replaced by Bayern Munich coach Pep Guardiola in the summer, is to finish in the top four in the Premier League.
City, who are fourth, lead Manchester United by four points, though the Red Devils have a game in hand.
"Over the course of their history they haven't won as many trophies as Liverpool or Manchester United but that's why they've gone out and got one of the best managers in the world," added Waddle.
"Now the most important thing is finishing in the top four this season. Pep Guardiola wants to be in the Champions League next year, not the Europa League.
"You'd expect them to be closer to Spurs and Leicester at the top of the table but there are still a few games to go and it will be interesting to see how they react after this defeat."
City host third-placed Arsenal on Sunday before finishing their season with a trip to Swansea on 15 May.
Guardiola's Bayern were edged out in the other Champions League semi-final, losing to Atletico Madrid on away goals.
"I don't think he's been tarnished in any way by his side being knocked out," said Waddle.
"Bayern were very unfortunate. They dominated and dominated but just couldn't put the ball in the net. I don't think they could have done any more than they did.
"Guardiola's teams are attractive, they want to score goals and they always play with tempo. City under Guardiola will be exciting. Everybody loves the way he plays, it's the football that everybody admires.
"He'll go in there and sign players, clear out what he needs to clear out. He'll have a big budget because everyone was after him but he'll go for the younger players, energetic players who can cover the ground and be fit.
"It won't happen overnight, but Guardiola will believe he can take the club to the next level."

Scores were injured as fans - reportedly armed with knives - invaded the pitch after a match between top-tier clubs al-Masry and al-Ahly.
Officials fear the death toll could rise further.
It is the biggest disaster in the country's football history, said the Egyptian deputy health minister.
"This is unfortunate and deeply saddening," Hesham Sheiha told state television.
Some of the dead were security officers, the Associated Press news agency quoted a morgue official as saying.
Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi, the head of Egypt's ruling army council, went to a airbase near Cairo to welcome back al-Ahly players who were flown back from Port Said on a military aircraft.
By Jon LeyneBBC News, Cairo
Football fans in Egypt can be violent, and certainly there is a bitter rivalry between these two teams.
The al-Ahly fans, known as Ultras, have a particular reputation for violence.
But lately they have been at the forefront of clashes with the police.
On the social media, there has been speculation - and I hasten to add there is no evidence - that the security forces may have had an interest in taking on al-Ahly supporters.
Certainly riot police did not seem to be very effective, they were standing around, but maybe there simply were not enough there.
"This will not bring Egypt down... These incidents happen anywhere in the world. We will not let those behind it go," he said, AP reports.
A statement posted on the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces' Facebook page announced three days of national mourning, beginning on Thursday.
The statement also promised a full investigation into the incident.
The BBC's Jon Leyne in Cairo says it appears some fans had taken knives into the stadium.
Our correspondent says the lack of the usual level of security in the stadium might have contributed to the clashes.
Police in Egypt have been keeping a much lower profile since last year's popular protests that ousted President Hosni Mubarak from power.
Egyptian fans are notoriously violent, says our correspondent, particularly supporters of al-Ahly known as the Ultras.
They have been heavily implicated in confronting the police during recent political protests, our correspondent adds. There is speculation that the security forces may have had an interest in taking on al-Ahly supporters.
Wednesday's violence broke out at the end of the match, which, unusually, Port Said side al-Masry won 3-1.
In pictures: Egypt football clash
Witnesses said the atmosphere had been tense throughout the match - since an al-Ahly fan raised a banner insulting supporters of the home team.
As the match ended, their fans flooded onto the pitch attacking Ahly players and fans.
A small group of riot police tried to protect the players, but were overwhelmed.
Part of the stadium was set on fire.
Officials say most of the deaths were caused by concussions, deep cuts to the heads and suffocation from the stampede.
"This is not football. This is a war and people are dying in front of us," al-Ahly player Mohamed Abo Treika said.
Hani Seddik, who played for al-Ahly as a teenager, told the BBC: "I don't think this is about football. These trouble-makers were not football fans."
"How were they allowed to carry knives into the ground? To me, this is the actions of people who do not want the country to be stable and want to put off tourists from coming here," said Mr Seddik, who was watching the match on TV in Cairo.
One al-Ahly fan in Cairo told the BBC that a large march from al-Ahly club to the Interior Ministry is being planned for tomorrow.
"People are angry at the regime more than anything else... People are really angry, you could see the rage in their eyes," Mohammed Abdel Hamid said.
Meanwhile, the Muslim Brotherhood - which has emerged as Egypt's biggest party in recent elections - blamed supporters of ousted President Hosni Mubarak for the violence.
"The events in Port Said are planned and are a message from the remnants of the former regime," Muslim Brotherhood lawmaker Essam al-Erian said.
He went on by saying that the army and police wanted to silence critics demanding an end to state of emergency in the country.
In Cairo, another match was halted by the referee after news of the Port Said violence. It prompted fans to set parts of the stadium on fire.
All premier-league matches have been cancelled and the newly-elected Egyptian parliament is to hold an emergency session on Thursday.
Fifa President Sepp Blatter issued a statement, expressing his shock over the incident.
"This is a black day for football. Such a catastrophic situation is unimaginable and should not happen," he said.
The Great War in Portraits will run at the central London gallery from 27 February until 15 June, 2014.
The exhibition will include two films made about the Battle of the Somme from different sides of the lines.
It will also feature portraits of Sir Winston Churchill and war poets Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon.
Paintings and photographs of soldiers decorated for bravery will be shown alongside prisoners of war, the wounded and those shot at dawn for cowardice.
Major loans on display will include expressionist artworks by Lovis Corinth and Max Beckmann and Ludwig Kirchner's Selbstbildnis als Soldat - Self-portrait as a Soldier.
Also on show will be portraits of the generals who plotted the course of the war and a photograph of assassin Gavrilo Princip whose murder of Archduke Franz Ferdinand triggered the conflict.
Other highlights will include Jacob Epstein's The Rock Drill, one of the great early modernist works related to the war, and a rare photograph by Jules Gervais Courtellemont depicting a battle-scarred, deserted landscape.
The gallery will host a range of activities linked to the centenary including two special performances by the Portrait Choir inspired by the war.
Exhibition curator Paul Moorhouse said: "The Great War in Portraits explores a complex range of human experience.
"Evolving different roles, responsibilities and destinies, it illuminates the way war was represented through portraits of individuals - each caught up in events beyond reason or control."
"It's what everybody wants," Coleman said. "It's what the people want and we should make sure that happens."
He described Tuesday's incidents as "incredibly evil" but said the attackers should not be allowed to win.
More than 30 people were killed by the explosions at Brussels airport and a metro station in the Belgian capital.

"I think these people would have us stay in our houses, locked up 24 hours a day if we let them have their way," Coleman told BBC Sport. "That shouldn't happen."
He said he expected Euro 2016, which starts in France on 10 June, to be "incredibly secure" and said he was confident Uefa, European football's governing body, would do its "utmost" to keep everyone safe.
But the former Fulham and Coventry City boss added: "If somebody's hell bent on walking into a crowded area and they want to blow themselves up or whatever, there's only so much security can do.
"There's always going to be a doubt in everybody's mind. You're hoping and praying that everything's going to be OK.
"We've all got to go there and try to enjoy the tournament, try to entertain everybody that's going there as best we can."
Uefa said it would continue to "monitor the level of risk for the tournament", which will feature 24 teams, playing 51 matches at 10 venues across France.
French interior minister Bernard Cazeneuve said the attacks were a reminder of the "very high level of security" needed at Euro 2016.
France was the target of attacks last year, when 130 people were killed in Paris on 13 November.

Suicide bombers struck near the Stade de France in Saint-Denis, followed by suicide bombings and mass shootings at cafes, restaurants and a music venue.
The attack on the Stade de France took place during France's football friendly with Germany, with radio and television teams inside the venue capturing the noise of the bombs going off outside.
Following the game, the German players slept in the stadium to ensure they remained safe before travelling home.
So-called Islamic State (IS) has said it was behind both the Paris and Brussels attacks.
Norwich City striker Dieumerci Mbokani was at Brussels airport when the explosions occurred. According to his club, he was "unharmed but shaken".
It is thought the player was there in order to fly to Kinshasa to join up with his DR Congo team-mates for an Africa Cup of Nations qualifying double-header against Angola on Saturday and next Tuesday.
Belgium defender Vincent Kompany, who plays his club football in England for Manchester City, said he was "horrified and revolted" by the attacks, tweeting that "innocent people were paying the price again".
International team-mate Christian Benteke, who plays for Liverpool, said his thoughts were with family and friends of the victims.
People in Brussels and surrounding areas have been told to avoid rail stations, airports, shopping centres, concerts and other public events following Tuesday's events.
But organisers of the Dwars Door Vlaanderen say the one-day cycling race across Flanders will proceed as scheduled on Wednesday.
A statement on the race's website read: "Dwars door Vlaanderen will take place. The organisers mourn with the victims of these terrible acts."
Britain's Scott Thwaites, who will be riding in the race for Team Bora-Argon 18, told BBC Sport that security was "a concern", given the size of the crowds and the proximity of fans to competitors.
"That is the beauty of cycling, that when you are riding around the country there are fans everywhere on the roadside creating a great atmosphere," he said. "I would not like that to change.
"Everyone is doing their best and we have to keep the show on the road."
Only Roma and Traveller children are getting poorer results, according to the study by the Community Relations Council.
However, the figures show that 76% of Catholic girls from better off backgrounds are among the highest achievers.
Girls from this background are beaten only by Chinese girls in the UK table.
The study by the Community Relations Council has compared all ethnic groups across the UK using five good GCSE grades as the measure of success.
The report found that just over half of Northern Ireland's Protestant boys who do not get free schools meals achieve five GCSEs.
Dr Paul Nolan, the academic who carried out the research, said there would be long-term consequences if action was not taken.
"They are being locked out of employment. Even if we get investment into places like east Belfast, these kids will not be able to get jobs because they won't have the qualifications," he said.
"I think we have been sleep walking into an inequality gap.
"The problem is we're creating inequalities which will later show themselves in the incidents we've seen in recent years in terms of public disorder and a community which feels it has no routes out of poverty, and out of that inequality comes anger and I'm afraid we have an unsettled political future."
BBC News visited two schools to ask the opinion of students and their teachers.
Newtownabbey Community High School in Rathcoole had poor results in the recent past but over the past three years things have turned around.
Principal John Lewis said his pupils had a lot of external pressures.
"Even getting to school is a major achievement for some of them," he said.
"Many of them have complex difficulties and challenges within school and outside. Many of them are easily influenced by other interests out of school, should it be paramilitaries or other attractions."
His students agree. Stephen Baird who is 16, said: "Protestants are taught about flags and the jubilee, whereas I think Catholic teachers want their pupils to do better."
That view is shared by many of the teenagers at the school.
Fifteen-year-old William Glass said: "I think the Catholic religion is stricter than the Protestant one and they go to church more."
His classmate Demi Hutchinson thought it was also to do with boys in general.
"Girls just tend to work harder, they're more concerned about their future whereas boys are more relaxed about that kind of stuff," he said.
All of the GCSE students interviewed were surprised about the report's findings and were unaware that some Protestant boys were falling behind.
Alan Evans, 16, said: "It's the first I've heard of it and I think more people should know about it."
Across Belfast at St Dominic's Grammar School on the Falls Road, the students were much more aware of Protestant underachievement.
A Level student Finola Bradley thought it was down to a different ethos in the Catholic community.
"Our ethos is to better yourself and I think that's why there's such a drive to do well.
"I think in the past, Catholic working class families especially, didn't really have any other opportunity, so education was the way to get out there and I think that's why education is being pushed."
St Dominic's principal Carol McCann is herself a past pupil of her school.
She said she was saddened that Protestant boys were falling behind, but pointed out that her school had its fair share of deprivation and yet the students still did well.
"We have 15% of our girls on free school meals," Ms McCann said.
"That's five times the average for a grammar school, but the students aren't aware of the difference.
"We're not focused on what they've got or what they haven't got. It's about your work ethic and what you do with your talents."
Education Minister John O'Dowd said the results should not come as a surprise.
Mr O'Dowd said: "I welcome the spotlight it is shining on educational underachievement. It is important that we engage in an informed debate about the future of our education system and I believe this report will be a welcome addition to this debate.
"The figures for young people from all disadvantaged sections of our community are simply unacceptable."
Mr O'Dowd says he's working hard to tackle the inequality.
The Treasury said RBS would instead provide £750m of initiatives to boost competition in UK business banking.
RBS had been ordered by the European Union to sell the unit by the end of 2017 to address competition concerns.
The bank failed to sell the business to Santander last year and talks with Clydesdale Bank also stalled.
RBS chief executive Ross McEwan said the new plan would deal with the state-owned bank's EU obligations "more quickly and with more certainty than undertaking a difficult and complex sale".
The EU commission still needs to approve the plan, submitted by the UK government.
The Williams & Glyn brand disappeared in 1985 after being replaced by the RBS brand, but the unit continues to be an important lender for small and medium sized businesses.
The resurrected Williams & Glyn business would have had 300 branches and about 1.8 million customers.
By Simon Gompertz, BBC personal finance correspondent
RBS's attempt to sell off Williams & Glyn has run into the ground after years of fruitless toil.
The task would have been daunting at the best of times: create a new full service bank serving businesses and retail customers, then find a willing buyer.
All to atone for the £45bn rescue during the financial crisis which, the European Commission decided, made RBS too powerful.
But in a period when banks were struggling to make profits and cutting back their own operations, the project was doomed from the start.
Williams & Glyn, an old name stuck on to a Frankenstein business, was touted around Santander, Virgin and several others. RBS toyed with the idea of selling it on the stock market.
Nothing seemed to work. Costs escalated. The deadline of the end of this year began to loom. RBS faced mounting pressures in other quarters, from fines and losses.
From the start we were told there was no Plan B. Now, of necessity, there is.
The EU ordered RBS in 2009 to dispose of Williams & Glyn as a result of its £45bn government bailout at the height of the financial crisis.
European regulators had originally demanded that the sale should be completed by 2013 to prevent RBS, the UK's largest lender to small businesses, from having too dominant a position.
Spanish bank Santander abandoned plans to buy the business from RBS in September 2016, with reports saying the two sides could not agree on a price.
The Treasury and RBS said the new plan would be faster and better at providing more choice of banking services for small businesses.
The measures include:
A Treasury spokesman said: "This new plan provides a clear blueprint to increase competition in the UK's business banking market, and would help RBS resolve one of its most significant legacy issues which has held back the sale of the taxpayers' stake."
"City want to spend millions to buy players to build a team," he said.
"They won the FA Cup but if they only want to do that, they will not be as strong as United. United work on the long term, with young talent."
Asked about criticisms of Manchester by City's Carlos Tevez and Mario Balotelli Cantona said: "I had a great time here and a great time in the city."
During the close season Tevez told an Argentine chat show he would never return to Manchester, while Balotelli has also had his problems with the north-west.
"It depends upon where they come from. If they come from Milan, maybe. Also it depends why they have come," Cantona insisted.
"The most important thing for me was to play for the best club in the world, with the best players in the world.
"I was a professional player. I didn't try to find a city to enjoy it. The greatest time you can have is on the pitch."

City's multi-million pound squad has been further strengthened this summer by the signings of Sergio Aguero, Gael Clichy and Stefan Savic, with Arsenal midfielder Samir Nasri also targeted.
However, last season manager Roberto Martini highlighted a lack of players with first-team potential in the club's academy.
"United are still one of the best clubs in the world," Cantona said. "When a player leaves, you think the club won't win any more. But they still do.
"They have a great history and they work a lot every day so any player can be replaced."
The Frenchman, now 45, is back at Old Trafford in his capacity as director of the New York Cosmos, and will coach the team against United in a testimonial for Paul Scholes on Friday.
"I knew Paul when he was young," said Cantona. "He started here with us. He has been a great player. He could play anywhere, midfield, up front, he could score goals, make them, defend, tackle. He could do anything.
"He is a great player. I am very proud of him. But you can replace any player, especially at a club like Manchester United, with a great manager like [Sir Alex] Ferguson.
"Maybe I will die before Sir Alex. I am sure he will be on the bench forever. It is his life."
The attack on a rebel-held town brought furious international reaction, with the US and other powers blaming the Syrian government for the deaths.
Officials in Damascus deny using any such weapons.
The attack will overshadow a conference in Brussels at which 70 donor nations will discuss aid efforts in Syria.
Delegates want to step up humanitarian access for thousands of civilians trapped by fighting.
Syria's civil war has raged for more than six years with still no political solution in sight.
Nearly five million Syrians have fled the country and more than six million are internally displaced, the UN says. More than 250,000 people have been killed.
Wednesday's emergency meeting of the UN Security Council was called by France and the UK as international outrage mounted over the suspected gas attack on Khan Sheikhoun in Idlib province on Tuesday.
The Russian defence ministry gave its version of events on Wednesday, saying a Syrian air strike had hit a rebel ammunition store that included "a workshop for the production of land mines filled with poisonous substances".
It seemed to support accounts by Syrian military sources a day earlier who reported an explosion at what they called a rebel chemical weapons factory in Khan Sheikhoun.
Earlier, Britain's ambassador to the UN, Matthew Rycroft, said the incident was "very bad news for peace in Syria".
"This is clearly a war crime and I call on the Security Council members who have previously used their vetoes to defend the indefensible to change their course," he told reporters in New York.
Footage from the scene showed civilians, many of them children, choking and foaming at the mouth.
Witnesses said clinics treating the injured were then targeted by air strikes.
UK-based monitoring group the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights put the death toll at 58, including 11 children.
It was unable to say what chemical was involved but pro-opposition groups said it was believed to be the nerve agent Sarin.
In a statement, US President Donald Trump condemned what he called "these heinous actions" by the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson accused the Syrian government of "brutal, unabashed barbarism".
UN Syria envoy Staffan de Mistura said it was a "horrific" attack and that there should be a "clear identification of responsibilities and accountability" for it.
Syria has denied its forces caused the deaths and Russia, which is supporting the government, said it had not carried out any air strikes in the vicinity.
The BBC's Lyse Doucet in Brussels says the attack could prove a stumbling block at Wednesday's international conference.
The EU hopes to use the prospect of funds for reconstruction as a bargaining chip in the faltering peace talks, our correspondent says, but the latest developments will deepen the opposition of those who say now is not the time to discuss financial support for areas controlled by the Syrian government.
Sebert Mitchell, 86, was found with serious injuries by paramedics at an address on Wensleydale Road in Perry Barr, Birmingham, on Tuesday.
He died at the scene and a post mortem said his death was a result of head injuries and stab wounds to the neck.
His son, Garey Mitchell, 42, also from Wensleydale Road, is due to appear at Birmingham Magistrates Court later.
Fermanagh led 0-7 to 0-3 at half-time but Damien Comer's goal straight after the restart turned the game in Galway's favour as Paul Conroy also starred.
After Eoin Donnelly's earlier black card, Ciaran McManus' late straight red rounded off a bad day for Fermanagh.
Down were beaten 2-11 to 0-11 in Clare as Meath hammered Derry 3-15 to 0-9.
Fermanagh skipper Donnelly was black-carded in the 11th minute at Brewster Park and his replacement Shane Lyons had a penalty appeal turned down as the home side continued to look the more enterprising outfit.
Galway did level at 0-3 to 0-3 but a Tomas Corrigan free and two thumping efforts from Sean Quigley appeared to have Fermanagh in control at the break as they led by four.
However, Comer's goal completely turned the game as Galway outscored the Ernemen 1-9 to 0-2 in the second half.
Comer could have had two further goals with Chris Snow making to fine saves to deny the Galway attacker.
Paul Conroy produced a brilliant second half for the Tribesmen and McManus' late dismissal summed up Fermanagh's second period.
After their comfortable opening win over Down, Fermanagh boss Pete McGrath had spoken bullishly about his desire to guide his team into Division One but this was something of a reality check for the Ernemen.
Down's worrying decline showed no signs of abating in Ennis as the home side had the game in the bag by half-time.
Shane Brennan's third-minute goal was just the start Down didn't want and the margin was 10 by the interval after David Tubridy netted in injury time.
Inevitably, Clare's ambition in the second half wavered somewhat as Down put together runs of three and six unanswered points.
But the damage had long been done as last year's All-Ireland quarter-finalists moved on to three league points following their opening draw in Derry.
The Oak Leafers went to Navan optimistic that they could overcome a Meath side hammered by Kildare in their opener but Damian Barton's side imploded in the second half after leading 0-6 to 0-4 at the interval.
Having played with a strong first-half wind advantage, Derry's interval lead looked perilous but their collapse in the second half was still rather shocking.
Derry remained two points ahead by the 44th minute but their challenge died once the impressive Cillian O'Sullivan netted to put Meath 1-6 to 0-8 up.
During the remaining 30 minutes of action, Meath outscored Derry 2-9 to 0-1 with Bryan McMahon and O'Sullivan netting in the closing seven minutes.
McMahon's goal came after Derry's debutant keeper Ben McKinless had been black-carded for dissent and forward Enda Lynn suffered a similar fate before the final whistle.
Meath's Alan Forde was sent off in injury time in one of the few negatives for the home side.
Slaughtneil's exploits mean that Derry will be without their Emmets contingent for most the league and the Oak Leafers already look to be facing a relegation battle.

After almost 20 hours of talks on Saturday, ministers are still split on whether savers should bear any of the cost of a bailout.
The impasse will now be debated at a meeting of EU heads of government on Wednesday.
"I have no doubt we will reach a deal," French Finance Minister Pierre Moscovici said.
Talks in Luxembourg on Saturday were centred on new rules determining the order in which investors and creditors would have to pay for bank bailouts.
Countries were divided on whether the Cyprus rescue should be a template for future bailouts, or whether losses be limited to banks' creditors.
The UK is reported to be one of the countries that does not want to be bound by EU rules, preferring to have some flexibility over whether to charge depositors in the case of future bailouts.
"It is principally an issue of the non-euro and the euro," said Irish Finance Minister Michael Noonan.
The UK is one of 10 countries in the 27-member bloc that is not part of the euro.
Since the start of the financial crisis in 2008, countries from across the EU have pumped tens of billions into propping up its ailing banks. In the cases of Cyprus, Spain and Ireland, the country's banks primarily needed the rescuing.
In each case, the national government had to foot the bill for rescuing its banks, leading to market fears that the losses at the banks may be more than the government could absorb.
The problem was compounded by the fact that most eurozone governments rely on their own banks to lend them the money they need.
This changed earlier this year, when Cyprus secured a loan package worth 10bn euros (£8.4bn; $13bn) from its EU partners and the International Monetary Fund. This included a tax on large deposits and through banking reform, which will raise 13bn euros.
An early proposal to raise money through a levy on all Cypriot bank deposits - including those below 100,000 euros - caused panic in financial markets and was quickly withdrawn.
This came after bailouts of Greece - twice - as well as Ireland, Portugal, and a bailout of Spain's banks.
Earlier this week, ministers agreed guidelines on how the eurozone's emergency bailout fund can inject money directly into struggling banks.
The fund will be able to inject a total of 60bn euros into troubled lenders but the bank's national government, and its lenders and depositors, will still have to share the burden of any rescue.
The document by the UN Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) says it has found that hundreds of women in Haiti and Liberia have been motivated by hunger and poverty to sell sex.
They are paid with cash, jewellery, mobile phones and other items.
The report says 480 sexual exploitation and abuse claims were made in 2008-13.
One-third of the allegations involved children.
The UN draft report says hundreds of women surveyed in Haiti and Liberia told they had been motivated by hunger, poverty and lifestyle improvement to sell sex to UN peacekeepers, according to Reuters news agency.
"Evidence from two peacekeeping mission countries demonstrates that transactional sex is quite common but underreported in peacekeeping missions," the news agency is quoting the draft report.
Meanwhile, the Associated Press - which has also obtained the document - says that 231 people in Haiti interviewed last year told they had had "transactional sex" with peacekeepers.
"In cases of non-payment, some women withheld the badges of peacekeepers and threatened to reveal their infidelity via social media," AP reports the document as saying.
It adds that 51 such allegations were made against UN peacekeepers in 2014, down from 66 a year before.
The news agencies are also quoting what they say is a response to the draft by the UN Departments of Peacekeeping Operations and Field Support.
The departments do not dispute that underreporting remains a concern.
But they also stress that there has been a significant increase in deployment of peacekeepers over the past 10 years and a large decrease in sexual exploitation and abuse allegations.
The UN currently has about 125,000 peacekeepers deployed in a number of countries around the world.
A specific "thirst circuit" was rapidly activated by food and quietened by cooling down the animals' mouths.
The same brain cells were already known to stimulate drinking, for example when dehydration concentrates the blood.
But the new findings describe a much faster response, which predicts the body's future demand for water.
The researchers went looking for this type of system because they were puzzled by the fact that drinking behaviour, in humans as well as animals, seems to be regulated very quickly.
"There's this textbook model for homeostatic regulation of thirst, that's been around for almost 100 years, that's based on the blood," said the study's senior author Zachary Knight, from the University of California, San Francisco.
"There are these neurons in the brain that… generate thirst when the blood becomes too salty or the blood volume falls too low. But lots of aspects of everyday drinking can't possibly be explained by that homeostatic model because they occur much too quickly."
Take the "prandial thirst" that comes while we consume a big, salty meal - or the fact that we feel quenched almost as soon as we take a drink.
Thirst, Dr Knight explained, often pre-empts changes in our fluid balance rather than responding to them.
And his team's experiments, reported in the journal Nature, offer the first explanation for how that anticipation might be generated within the brain.
To unpick the brain activity involved, the researchers monitored neural activity in genetically engineered mice. Deep in these animals' brains, a specific type of brain cell - in an area known to regulate thirst - would glow when it was active.
This meant the team could use an optical fibre to record how busy those neurons were, while the mice were left to eat or drink in various experimental conditions.
When the animals were thirsty, these brain cells (in a region called the subfornical organ, or SFO) were very active. As soon as they drank, that activity dropped.
Similarly, the "thirst circuit" lit up when the mice ate - much faster than any measurable changes could be detected in their bloodstream.
These SFO neurons were responding directly, it seemed, to the goings-on in the animal's mouth.
"The activity seems to go up and down very rapidly during eating and drinking, based on signals from the oral cavity," Dr Knight told the BBC.
Perhaps most remarkable was the effect of temperature, he added.
"Colder liquids inhibit these neurons more quickly. In fact, we show that even simply cooling the mouth of a mouse is sufficient to reduce the activity of these thirst neurons - independent of any water consumption."
The idea that the thirst system is monitoring mouth temperature - to the extent that applying a cool metal bar to a mouse's tongue will light up these SFO neurons - makes a lot of sense, Dr Knight said.
"If you go into the hospital and you can't swallow, they give you ice chips to suck on, to quench your thirst.
"Temperature seems to be one of the signals that these neurons are listening to."
Dr Yuki Oka, a neuroscientist at the California Institute of Technology, was not involved in this research but led a previous study on the same population of SFO neurons.
His team discovered that artificially stimulating these thirst neurons caused mice to drink, even if they weren't thirsty - a finding that Dr Knight and colleagues replicated as part of their work.
Dr Oka said the new observations were very interesting, particularly because they showed how one population of brain cells was combining different types of information.
"The previous view in the field was that [this system] is monitoring... the internal state. But recent studies - including this one - are showing that these sensory neurons in the brain are not just a sensor, they're an integrating platform for the external stimuli and the internal state.
"This is kind of a new concept, which has also been revealed in neurons that control feeding."

Junel Miah, 28, of Magazine Road, Ashford, was convicted of causing the death by dangerous driving of Danyl Ponsford, 26, following a trial at Canterbury Crown Court.
Miah was driving at 75mph in a 30mph zone when his Volkswagen Golf collided with Mr Ponsford's Toyota Celica in Ashford on 30 September 2013.
He will be sentenced in January.
Det Sgt Scott Lynch said: "If [Miah] had been driving at the correct speed, and obeying the law, the collision would never have taken place.
"Miah's driving that night was a significant risk to other road users and his indifference to others has cost a young man his life.
"Danyl was a well-known and popular young man in his community who had everything to live for but his life was tragically cut short."
Second row Craig, 28, broke into the Saints side in the 2011-12 campaign and has made 65 appearances.
"He's a talented player with a good rugby brain and has played well this season," said boss Jim Mallinder.
Alex Mitchell and James Grayson, who helped England Under-20s win the Six Nations, are among the others to sign.
The length of the deals have not been disclosed by the club.
Half-backs Mitchell and Grayson have featured in the Northampton first team this season along with fellow academy players James Fish, Alex Moon and Devante Onojaife, who have also agreed contracts.
Josh Peters, Tom Emery, George Furbank and props Ehren Painter and Toby Trinder are the others to commit their futures to the 2014 Premiership champions.
Saints academy manager Dusty Hare said: "We've been impressed by how much they have improved in a short period of time, both in training and playing at other clubs on loan, but it's important that they are given the space to learn even more."
Thousands of the small seabirds have been driven from wintering grounds off Scandinavia by stormy easterly winds.
RSPB Scotland said the event was on a "massive scale" and auks have appeared as far inland as Lentran near Beauly.
While large numbers of birds have survived the ordeal, others have been found dead including at Rosemarkie.
The birds discovered at Rosemarkie in the Black Isle were thought to have tried to find shelter among large clumps of seaweed on the beach.
Stuart Benn, of RSPB Scotland, said many of the birds were finding shelter in the Moray Firth.
He said: "What is going on is on a massive scale. I've never known anything quite like it.
"To get this number of birds so close inshore is unprecedented."
Another ornithological organisation, Rare Bird Alert, has been recording sightings of little auks at other locations in Scotland and the rest of the UK, including Orkney, Shetland, Caithness and Fife.
The birds winter in the North Sea off Denmark and also off the coast of Sweden, feeding on plankton.
They breed in colonies numbering hundreds of thousands of birds in the Arctic, including on Svalbard and Spitsbergen.
Mr Benn said the wind-blown little auks should eventually find their way back to their usual territories once the weather calms down.
Dozens of the seabirds have been rescued. The Scottish SPCA said it was caring for more than 100 of the auks at its National Wildlife Rescue Centre in Fishcross.
Northampton South Tory David Mackintosh was criticised in a report over the loan to Northampton Town from the borough council when he was leader.
Constituency chairman Suresh Patel said Mr Mackintosh should answer to local members at a meeting on 9 December.
Mr Mackintosh said he was "happy" to answer questions about the loan.
Northampton Town was given the money to redevelop Sixfields stadium, with much of it being passed to a company called 1st Land Ltd.
The company is now in liquidation while the work on Sixfields was not completed.
Mr Mackintosh benefited from "hidden" donations to his general election fighting fund from 1st Land, a BBC investigation found.
Mr Mackintosh previously said he had "no reason to believe" that the donations were from anyone other than the named donors.
This is currently subject to a separate police investigation.
An audit by PricewaterhouseCoopers found the borough council cabinet lacked full information on the risks when it approved the transaction in 2013.
The report said Mr Mackintosh, who was leader of the authority for four years before becoming an MP in 2015, wanted to "conclude the transaction promptly".
Speaking about Mr Mackintosh's role, Mr Patel said: "He needs to consider his position. He has a duty to the party and to its membership."
Mr Mackintosh said: "I am happy to answer any questions the local party might have about the loan."
A motion expressing Northampton South Conservative Association's "disappointment" will be put to its executive committee on 9 December.
Those spoken to are currently out of work.
Thompson would not be drawn on any potential new manager and said there is no time limit for filling the vacancy.
And the chairman added United's performance under Jackie McNamara had been reviewed by the board "for a while" before he was removed as boss.
The club confirmed McNamara's departure on Monday with United second bottom of the Scottish Premiership on five points following Saturday's 2-1 defeat by 10-man St Johnstone.
The 41-year-old had been in charge since January 2013, winning 51 and drawing 23 of his 119 games in charge.
"We're going to have think rationally and calmly and get the right person in here to run what we believe is a great opportunity for somebody," said Thompson.
"Me, as chairman, I would not be bringing in someone that's never managed before.
"The world's a small place, they could be from anywhere in the world."
United opened this season with defeat by Aberdeen but beat Motherwell the following week.
Since that win on 8 August, the Tangerines have picked up only two draws in the league, however they have progressed to the quarter-finals of the Scottish League Cup, where they will visit Hibernian.
McNamara led United to a Scottish Cup final in 2014 and a League Cup final the following year but results overall so far in 2015 have been poor.
"The board had been discussing it ongoing for a while - where we were as a club, where we think we should be and the support we had given to the manager etc," added Thompson.
"It was very, very hard on a personal level because, as a chairman, you build a relationship with your manager. You speak two, three four times a day.
"As a board, we decided it was the right thing for the club; We feel as though we've backed him as much as we could even to the point we signed a couple of players right at the end of the transfer window.
"It's always a difficult decision to make in football."
But she was swiftly replaced by Robbie Williams - whose Swings Both Ways is his 11th chart-topper.
As the album chart celebrates its first millenium, we look at the records that paved the way, starting with the UK's first ever chart topper, in 1956.
The first album chart was published in the Record Mirror in July 1956. It listed just five albums, and Frank Sinatra was leader of the (rat) pack.
Songs For Swingin' Lovers was his 10th solo album and is still, arguably, his greatest swing collection.
A challenge to the tide of rock and roll that was sweeping over America, it's a loose concept record about a man who leaves his lover and pursues a new romance.
Backed by Nelson Riddle's fresh, hip arrangements, Sinatra sounded on top of the world - delivering some of his best-known performances on You Make Me Feel So Young and I've Got You Under My Skin.
Given a perfect five-star review by Rolling Stone, it was the UK's number one for three weeks, and the fifth best-selling album of 1956 (number one was the soundtrack to Carousel).
But albums were still niche products. Only 12 million were sold in 1956 - compared to 100.5m in 2012.
It took 15 years for the 100th number one to roll around - thanks mainly to The Beatles, who spent a combined three years in pole position.
But it was John Lennon who scored the chart centenary with his second solo album, Imagine.
A huge commercial success both in 1971 and immediately after his murder, it is less abrasive and more fondly remembered than his debut, Plastic Ono Band.
Every facet of his mercurial personality is on display: He's head-over-heels on Oh Yoko!; vulnerable on Jealous Guy; and venomous on How Do You Sleep? (a thinly-veiled character assassination of Paul McCartney).
But it is the optimistic, simple title track that endures. Lennon confessed it was "anti-religious, anti-nationalistic, anti-Âconventional [and] anti-capitalistic" but "because it is sugar-coated it is accepted".
"It was just what John believed," said Yoko Ono. "That we are all one country, one world, one people. He wanted to get that idea out."
Released in July 1978, Boney M's Nightflight To Venus was the band's most successful record, clinging to the top spot for four weeks.
It contained several global hits, including Brown Girl In The Ring and Rivers Of Babylon - but not, strangely, that year's Christmas number one, Mary's Boy Child.
The band were the brainchild of German pop svengali Frank Farian (later responsible for Milli Vanilli), who reached a creative peak on this wilfully experimental third album.
The seven-minute title track was a freaky space odyssey, which envisaged an interstellar journey to a terraformed planet.
"It took almost 90 years to cool down the planet from its 500 degrees to the current pleasant 75 degrees, and to transform the atmosphere to make it inhabitable for Earth people," noted the narrator, over a pounding drum track based on Cozy Powell's hit Dance With The Devil.
It set the record up to be a space-age disco concept album, but the idea was immediately ditched on track two - Rasputin - a deranged ode to a 19th Century Russian mystic.
Compilation albums were included in the main countdown until 1989, and the Now... series regularly outsold all the competition.
The third instalment was released in July 1984 and contained four number one singles - including Wham's Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go and Duran Duran's The Reflex.
But the tracklisting also provides a few insights into the year's prevailing social issues. Special AKA's Nelson Mandela reflected the increasing disquiet over South Africa's apartheid laws, while Grandmaster Flash and Melle Mel delivered a funky anti-drugs message on White Lines (Don't Do It).
Other songs on the 30-strong tracklist included Queen's I Want To Break Free, Tina Turner's What's Love Got To Do With It and The Weather Girls' wedding disco staple It's Raining Men.
The sleeve starred the series' short-lived (and frankly unnecessary) porcine mascot, and exhorted fans to "complete your collection!" by purchasing the two preceding volumes, as well as their VHS and Betamax companions "for all you videoholics".
Thirty years later, and the series is thriving - Now 83 was the fastest-selling album of 2012.
But the most successful instalment was number 44, which kicked off with Britney Spears ...Baby, One More Time, and shifted a remarkable 2.3m copies in 1999.
Selling 400,000 copies in just four days, Wild! was the second in a run of five consecutive number one albums for synthpop duo Erasure.
Despite the titular exclamation mark, it was their most mature record to date, opening with a sombre piano instrumental, and taking melodic flights of fancy on the hit single Blue Savannah.
At the time, frontman Andy Bell was one of the few openly gay pop stars and, while the record addressed gay themes (Drama! is about a "drama queen" who puts his friends through "one psychological drama after another"), the band were careful not to be too outrageous.
"If we did an openly gay video, it wouldn't get played on MTV," Bell told Australia's Countdown magazine in 1990.
"By approaching it the way we approach it - not being too aggressive or shouting at people, just showing them it's part of life but not the only thing in life - it's easy for people to deal with, and maybe there will be fewer people afraid to come out."
One in every 20 chart-toppers is a "best of" album - the first being The Best Of Ball, Barber & Bilk, - a 1962 collection of jazz standards by trumpeter Kenny Ball, trombone player Chris Barber and band leader Acker Bilk.
Deacon Blue's greatest hits reached number one in May 1994, featuring Scot-rock classics like Dignity, Real Gone Kid and their plaintive cover of Burt Bacharach's I'll Never Fall In Love Again.
The band had survived through sudden, head-turning success and the John-and-Yoko romance between frontman Ricky Ross fell and bandmate Lorraine McIntosh. ("Nobody in a band wants the backing singer going out with the lead singer," she admitted to Scotland's Daily Record last year).
But, three weeks after Our Town was released, Deacon Blue announced they were splitting up.
"As George Harrison once said, all things must pass," said Ross.
Now reformed, they released a new album, The Hipsters, in 2012.
During the recording of I've Been Expecting You in spring 1998, producer Guy Chambers kept track of the work in -progress on a whiteboard, hung on the wall of Wheeler End studio in rural Buckinghamshire.
Scrawled along the top in black marker was the legend: "Robbie Williams' difficult second album (which isn't that difficult after all)."
"It's effortless, really," he told a documentary crew who turned up to film the sessions.
An ebullient victory lap after the success of Angels, the album's success was equally effortless - sailing to number one, going 10x platinum and selling more than three million copies.
Williams, at the peak of his fame, was so cocksure he could get away with self-aware lyrics like this, from Strong: "In the early morning when I wake up / I look like Kiss but without the make-up / And that's a good line to take it to the bridge."
Singles No Regrets and She's The One still form part of his live show today. The only real misfire was the leaden, James Bond-sampling Millennium - a cynical ploy for airplay as the year 2000 approached.
In total, Williams has scored 11 number ones - putting him on an even footing with Elvis.
TV talent shows were hitting their stride in 2003, with Will Young, Gareth Gates, Girls Aloud and Liberty X all racking up the hits - but British indie was about to get a much-needed shot in the arm.
Liverpudlians The Coral were among the first out of the gates, blazing a trail for the likes of Franz Ferdinand, Snow Patrol, Keane and Razorlight.

The band had scored a minor hit the previous year with the jangly, Merseybeat throwback Dreaming Of You, and their second album cemented their success.
Praised by the NME for its "brutally concise and beautiful pop songs", it spawned the top 10 singles Don't Think You're The First and Pass It On.
But the band were taken aback by their swift rise.
"The smell of money's got into everyone," singer James Skelly told the Guardian. "Sony don't have any other good bands, there's just us, so everything's being put on us. I feel like apologising to people in a way, about how in your face everything is."
He needn't have worried. Their chart reign lasted a week, after which Robbie Williams' Escapology claimed the top spot.
Norah Jones reached number one just three years after The Coral, a sign of the music industry's ever-decreasing attention span.
The constant churn at the top of the charts also coincided with a downturn in sales, which were sinking faster than a brick in a swimming pool - from 237m in 2004, to 128m in 2009.
The decline is neatly encapsulated by Norah Jones' triptych of number ones. Her debut, Come Away With Me, sold 2.4m copies in 2003. The follow-up, Feels Like Home, managed 900,000. Not Too Late, released in 2007, scraped in with sales of 100,000.
A deliberate step away from the coffeehouse jazz of her earlier records, it was also Jones's first collection of original material.
She made gentle stabs at politics - lamenting the re-election of President Bush in My Dear Country and portraying the US as a leaky boat in Sinkin' Soon - and, ultimately, the musical experimentation ensured her longevity.
"I don't expect to sell millions of records every time. I just don't think that's gonna be possible," she told CBS news.
"I feel like I've had my cake and I've eaten it and it tasted great. And I don't need another piece."
Oasis set a chart record in 1997 that still stands today, when their third album Be Here Now sold 660,000 copies in seven days - the highest-first week sales in history.
But, as songwriter Noel Gallagher freely admitted in the ensuing years, the bloated, cocaine-fuelled album was not his finest moment.
"Just because you sell lots of records, it doesn't mean to say you're any good," he noted. "Look at Phil Collins."
Time Flies was the band's swansong - a double disc anthology released the year after their acrimonious split backstage in Paris.
Over 27 tracks, it sketched how the band "dragged English guitar music out of the gutter" (Noel's words) with football terrace anthems like Wonderwall and Supersonic.
Oasis celebrate their 20th anniversary next year, but there is little hope of a reunion.
"I don't think there's any unfinished business," Noel said in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine this week. "I don't think that we left anything unsaid, do you know what I mean?"
In a neat echo of Frank Sinatra's inaugural chart-topper, Robbie Williams' 1,000th number one is also a swing album.
Packed with razzamatazz renditions of standards like I Wanna Be Like You and Puttin On The Ritz, it easily outsold the competition, including teen troubador Jake Bugg and boyband JLS.
Swings Both Ways is Williams' second stab at the genre, and finds him in a relaxed, playful mood.
Among the covers are six original songs, including the pomposity-puncturing No-One Likes A Fat Pop Star ("When I get faint, I chew through my restraints / The best meal that I've had all week," he sings).
"I'm enjoying working and I couldn't come straight out with another pop album," Williams told Q Magazine.
"I wanted to do something else, and that something else shaped up to be a swing-style album."
The record is Williams' 11th number one - including two greatest hits - putting him on level pegging with Elvis.
Only Madonna (12) and The Beatles (15) have done better.
You can see details of all 1,000 UK number one albums on the Official Charts Company website.
Campaigners urged people to whistle for 15 minutes in the morning at 04:30 GMT and again in the evening.
The protest was thought up as a way for people to be heard without "the risk of violence", says organisers.
President Idriss Deby took power in a coup in 1990 and is standing for a fifth term in the presidential elections on 10 April.
A coalition of 10 civil society groups urged people to use a "citizen whistle" to demand an end to bad governance and call for political change in Chad.
Paris-based human rights campaigner AbdelKerim Koundougoumi told the BBC that this is a way of protesting when people are scared of the secret police.
"People stay in their homes and you cannot see who is doing it".
A statement he posted on Facebook by the spokesperson of the Enough is Enough coalition, Celine Narmadji, explained that some people may not feel safe protesting.
"Express your anger from your home, without the risk of violence," the statement said.
She went on to urge people to whistle against injustice, impunity, nepotism, cronyism, favouritism, corruption, censorship, bribery, embezzlement of public funds and "your daily suffering to get your next meal".
It comes exactly one month before the presidential elections.
President Deby has been in power for 24 years and said, if he is re-elected in April, he will reinstate a clause limiting leaders to two terms.
Two former prime ministers, Djimrangar Dadnadji and Nourredine Delwa Kassire Koumakoye, are also candidates.
They organisers are planning to whistle again for 15 minutes at 20:00 GMT.
John McCormack hit a car before carrying on with the damaged lorry on the A9 between Blair Atholl and Perth.
He drove on oblivious to the trail of damage he had left until he was finally stopped by police.
Perth Sheriff Court was told that McCormack could offer no reason why he drove on the wrong side of the road.
Depute fiscal Stuart Richardson said motorists were heading north near the House of Bruar shopping complex when they saw McCormack heading straight for them.
He said: "To their horror they saw the lorry coming south. He was on the wrong side of the road. They managed to get off the road onto the verge.
"The lorry missed them, but unfortunately it continued on and a couple with three children in their car weren't so lucky. He hit the offside of their car and scraped along it."
McCormack, 46, from Kilmarnock, admitted driving dangerously on the wrong side of the road on 11 April last year.
He admitted failing to stop after an accident, and driving a vehicle which posed a danger because of the state it was in. A charge relating to cannabis was dropped by the Crown.
Solicitor David Holmes, defending, said medical investigations had taken place and McCormack had decided to stop driving in the wake of the incident.
Sheriff Fiona Tait deferred sentence for clarification of the medical condition and imposed an interim driving ban on McCormack.
Sam Hallam, now 24, was jailed in 2005 for a minimum of 12 years over the death of Essayas Kassahun, 21, in Clerkenwell, central London, in 2004.
The Court of Appeal, which had heard photographs on Mr Hallam's mobile phone could have helped his defence case, ruled his conviction was "unsafe".
He said: "I don't want anyone else ever to suffer what I've been through."
The court's judges said that for "reasons that escape us", two telephones in Mr Hallam's possession at the time of his arrest were not investigated by the police or his then defence team.
There was a failure by police to investigate his alibi, and witnesses who put him at the scene of the murder were unreliable, the court heard.
Fresh material in the case included evidence from an acquitted co-accused who said Mr Hallam was not present at the scene and post-trial evidence from Mr Hallam's mobile telephone which showed his true whereabouts on the evening of the crime.
In a statement read outside court by Paul May, who led the campaign to free him, Mr Hallam added: "The identification evidence against me was so unreliable it should have never been put to the jury.
"The Metropolitan Police should have followed up leads which would have proved my innocence of the terrible murder of Essayas Kassahun.

Court number eight was heaving. People spilled out into the corridor, reporters had to sit on the floor, and the public gallery was full. Lady Justice Hallett took more than an hour to read out the judgement.
In a surprise move, Sam Hallam was freed on bail yesterday, when prosecutors said they were not opposing his appeal.
Then, he was dazed. But today he sported a new haircut, an ironed shirt - and a huge smile. Sitting next to his mother, Wendy, he listened carefully as the reasons for his release were gone through in great detail.
When the judgement came, the reaction was loud. Supporters stood, cheered and shouted "justice has been done".
Mr Hallam calmly sipped from a bottle of water - and looked at his mum.
"They should have disclosed all the relevant evidence in their possession to my lawyers and they didn't.
"I now need time to recover with my family and friends from the nightmare I've suffered for the last seven-and-a-half years.
"Justice has long been denied to me but it has now finally prevailed."
Mr Hallam, who lost a conviction appeal in 2007, also thanked the Criminal Cases Review Commission and Thames Valley Police for the "thorough investigation" they carried out into his case.
He was released on bail by the Court of Appeal on Wednesday after prosecutors said they would not oppose his appeal.
Lady Justice Hallett, who delivered the court's judgement, said Mr Hallam's "inability or unwillingness" to say where he was at the time of the murder had "not exactly helped his case".
But she added: "Given the attachment of young people and the more mature to their mobile phones, we can't understand why someone, either from the investigating team or the defence team, did not think to examine the phones attributable to the appellant.
"Given our limited knowledge, we would have thought that, even a cursory check would have produced some interesting results.
"Further, we would have thought the appellant would have alerted the defence team that he had been taking photos on a new phone which would have helped establish his whereabouts."
Lady Justice Hallett also told the court that one eyewitness account had been a "fleeting glimpse" and there was scope for mistaken identity.
"We now have therefore the real possibility that the failed alibi was consistent with faulty recollection and dysfunctional lifestyle and not a deliberate lie."
She said: "In our judgment, the cumulative effect of these facts is enough to undermine the safety of these convictions."
A spokeswoman for the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said the decision to prosecute had been made on the evidence then available, including from eyewitnesses.
She said: "In its judgment, the Court of Appeal did not criticise the CPS for bringing the prosecution.
"It is now clear that there was other evidence which, in the Court of Appeal's view, has undermined the safety of the conviction of Sam Hallam."
Mr Hallam, of Hoxton, east London, was 18 when he received a life sentence for the murder of trainee chef Mr Kassahun, who died after being stabbed in the head during an attack by a group of youths on the St Luke's estate in October 2004.
At the trial the following year, Mr Hallam and Bullabek Ringbiong, then 20, from Hoxton, were both jailed for murder.
Scott White, 17, also from Hoxton, was convicted of conspiracy to cause grievous bodily harm and was sentenced to eight years' youth detention. In total, six people went on trial for the killing.
Since his conviction, Mr Hallam's family and friends have waged a high-profile campaign for justice, with supporters including actor Ray Winstone, who has criticised the police's handling of the case.
The Metropolitan Police said it was "a matter of deep regret that Sam Hallam lost his liberty" due to an unsafe conviction.
Commander Simon Foy, head of the Homicide and Serious Crime Command, said: "The death of Essayas Kassahun was a tragedy and what followed was a complex investigation for which one person remains convicted."
He said the circumstances of the crime involved a large group of people and this type of investigation often relied on people coming forward to give personal accounts.
He added: "We continue to face challenging investigations such as these and there are undoubtedly certain lessons to be learned for police and the wider criminal justice system from today's judgement."
The woman, believed to be in her 30s, was found dead at a house on Bankholme Court in the Holmewood area at 16:20 GMT on Monday.
West Yorkshire Police said the woman had not been named and a post mortem examination would be held later.
Officers said the inquiry was still at an "early stage" but the two men, aged 33 and 42, remained in custody. | Manchester City were too cautious and lacked creativity and tempo in their Champions League exit to Real Madrid, says former England winger Chris Waddle.

However, he hinted that the constitution could allow it if that is what "the people" wanted.
Supporters argue that the 18-month emergency caused by the Ebola outbreak interrupted Mr Koroma's plans and he should have more time to complete them.
Bids by some African presidents to stay in power have led to political tension.
Government spokesman Alpha Kanu told the BBC that while President Koroma has never said he wants to go beyond a second term, Sierra Leoneans have the "constitutional right" to express themselves.
He said that the calls from some sections of the population are "the expression of gratitude from a grateful population who believe that President Koroma has worked hard enough".
If it had not been for Ebola, the country would be much more developed than it is, Mr Kanu added.
The BBC's Umaru Fofana in the capital, Freetown, says that the demand for the president to stay on is particularly prominent in his home area in the north of the country.
Some of his supporters - mostly rural women and young people - have been seen in well-designed T-shirts carrying the inscription "more time", he says.
They argue that the constitution allows parliament to extend a presidential term in times of war or a state of emergency.
In 2001, for example, parliament extended President Ahmad Tejan Kabbah's term because of the civil war.
This is what Mr Kanu referred to as "loopholes in the constitution".
He said that "if there are a cacophony of calls" from the people for an extension "it can be done" by parliament.
But our correspondent says the current state of emergency, which was put in place because of the Ebola outbreak, is likely to end soon, which would mean the legitimate excuse for a term extension would be gone. | Sierra Leone's leader Ernest Bai Koroma is not seeking to stay in office after 2018 despite calls for him to do so, the government spokesman says. | 35,302,119 | 401 | 37 | false |
Four have been told by the Consumer Council for Water (CCWater) to report back by the end of October to explain what they are doing to cut complaints.
Southern Water was the worst performer for the fourth year running, with 10.3% increase in complaints in 2015/2016.
The others were Bournemouth, Affinity and Dwr Cymru Welsh Water.
Across the industry, billing and charges, including debt recovery, accounted for just over 60% of written complaints in the last year.
Southern, which serves Kent, Sussex, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, received about 77 complaints per 10,000 connections - more than double the industry average of 33.7.
Written complaints to Dwr Cymru increased by 115.1%, while Bournemouth Water's increased by 90.6%.
Affinity Water, which covers parts of Bedfordshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Surrey, west London, Kent and Essex, saw an increase of 82.3%.
Overall, 10 out of the 21 water companies in England and Wales saw an increase in written complaints in 2015-16.
Complaints have been going down in recent years but it is feared the trend could start to reverse.
The overall number of written complaints to the industry fell for an eighth year, but by only 0.5% to 106,196.
"We can't allow the good progress that has been made by the industry in recent years to be reversed," said Tony Smith, chief executive of CCWater.
"That's why we have asked four of the poorest performing companies to report to us by the end of October."
Southern said it was disappointed in its performance but this had been improving since November.
It said the number of complaints received about water services was among the lowest in the industry but billing complaints pushed it into the bottom spot.
"So far this year, we have received approximately half the number of complaints we did in the first five months of 2015," said director Simon Oates.
"We are pleased to report back to CCW next month, and are confident the figures we submit will show a marked reduction in the number of complaints." | Customer complaints have increased at almost half the water companies in England and Wales, with some seeing "alarming" surges, a watchdog has said. | 37,417,712 | 456 | 34 | false |
She said current valuations, which have seen key US and UK indicators reach record levels, were "quite high".
But, speaking at an International Monetary Fund (IMF) conference, she added she did not see any bubbles forming.
Ms Yellen told IMF managing director, Christine Lagarde, that the US central bank was watching the issue closely.
The Dow Jones hit a record of 18,288.63 points earlier this year, while the FTSE 100 reached 7,103.98 and Germany's Dax 12,374 points - also records - last month.
US regulators have made great progress in fixing flaws in the financial system in the wake of the global banking crisis, Ms Yellen said.
She was speaking to Ms Lagarde at a finance and society conference in Washington DC.
US stocks fell slightly after Ms Yellen's remarks.
In earlier remarks, she pointed to the contributions the banking system had made to both society and the economy.
But she soon turned her speech towards the "distorted system of incentives" and weak controls in the financial industry that preceded the 2008 financial crisis.
"A combination of responses to distorted incentives by players throughout the financial system created an environment conducive to a crisis," Ms Yellen said.
She said regulators were too focused on individual firms before the crisis, and had not focused enough on the safety of the whole financial system.
Policymakers, including the Fed, "remain watchful for areas in need of further action or in which the steps taken to date need to be adjusted", she added. | The chair of the US Federal Reserve, Janet Yellen, has warned stock market levels present "potential dangers". | 32,613,026 | 339 | 27 | false |
The dead are a man and a woman, police said in a statement. A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder.
Ikea spokeswoman Anna Pilkrona-Godden said that the Erikslund shopping centre containing the store had been closed.
The injured victim is a man of about 35, Swedish television reported, citing eyewitnesses.
Officers were called to the store at 13:00 (11:00 GMT) and found three people with knife injuries in the kitchenware section, police spokesman Per Stromback told reporters at the scene.
"The suspect had stabbed three people, of whom two died at the scene and one is very seriously injured and is being operated on," Mr Stromback said.
"We do not have a motive at the moment," he added.
The injured victim arrived at Vasteras hospital with life-threatening injuries, head nurse Lena Moren told Sweden's SVT public broadcaster.
The victims were "ordinary shoppers", Mattias Johansson, the store manager, told local newspaper VLT. They were known to one another, police said.
Several ambulances were at the scene and the area was cordoned off by police, eyewitnesses said.
"Our thoughts are with those affected," said Mrs Pilkrona-Godden.
The Ikea store in Vasteras, which is about 70 miles (115km) west of the capital Stockholm, is one of the largest in the country.
But India's most popular movie industry also produces films that initiate social debates on issues that matter to the country.
Aamir Khan's PK is one such movie.
It questions superstitions in a country where religion is deeply rooted in social consciousness of the people.
Khan plays an alien in the film who comes to visit the earth and almost immediately falls victim to human greed.
His "remote control" - a device without which he cannot go back to his planet - gets stolen.
From that moment, he embarks on a journey to discover the world. He meets people, "both good and bad", visits places and learns the language.
He painstakingly discovers that many people believe that only god can help him find his remote control.
He visits remote temples, mosques and churches. He follows advices given by priests and religious leaders to convince the god of every faith.
But Khan's character slowly finds out some self-styled gurus or "godmen" use superstitions and "fraud" to "cheat" people.
PK is not the first movie that has taken a controversial but critical look at religious practices in India.
But then why is the film generating strong reactions?
The answer lies in the movie's simple narrative. It doesn't reach any conclusion on the existence of religion, but simply questions superstitions.
In one of the scenes, a priest tells a man to take an arduous journey to a temple in the Himalayas to ensure that one of his sick family members gets well.
PK jumps into the conversation and asks the priest if it's true that god considers all humans as his sons and daughters.
Yes, says the priest.
PK follows up with another question: "Which father would send an already troubled son on an arduous journey?".
Such simple but important questions have made the movie a thought-provoking drama.
I remember many moist eyes in the theatre after a particular scene in which PK recounts his efforts in convincing "the almighty" to return his remote control.
The sequence shows PK bathing in holy rivers, trekking to reach holy temples and painfully beating himself in mourning.
He later discovers that such advice doesn't mean much and most "godmen" use religions to do business and make profits.
The rest of the movie is all about PK's debate with one such powerful "godman" who is in possession of his remote control.
In the end, he proves the guru wrong, falls in love with a female journalist who helps him, and returns to his planet.
The movie has received mixed reviews from critics, but most have praised Khan and director Rajkumar Hirani for showing courage to take on a deeply sensitive subject.
Film analyst Namrata Joshi says the duo deserve credit for bringing such a sensitive topic in a mainstream commercial film.
"Aamir is a superstar and that is why this movie has reached millions. It has made people think. Religion has been debated in many regional language films and earlier Bollywood films, but Aamir's presence has made the difference this time," she says.
Many say the film's timing has also been critical.
It has come at a time when issues like religious conversion are being debated in parliament and prominent gurus have been arrested on charges like murder and rape.
It is hard to know that how many people actually agree with the movie's message. But Joshi says many are watching the film and it shows that people want to discuss and debate even sensitive issues like religious practices.
But not everybody agrees.
Many have criticised the film for "maligning Hinduism" and other religions in the films.
A hashtah called #boycottPK started trending almost immediately after the movie was released.
But many also praised the film and started a rival hashtag called #IsupportPK.
Joshi says Twitter cannot be taken as an indicator of how people are reacting to the film.
But the hashtags prove that people are willing to discuss the issue.
Aamir Khan recently defended the film, saying it is not against any particular religion.
When I walked out of the theatre, most of my fellow moviegoers seemed interested in repeating this key line from the film.
"Believe in the god who created you, not the one you created."
And there were others who seemed offended.
But as Joshi says, the movie ensures that the issue of religious superstition is being debated in the country of 1.2 billion people and many religions.
Mr Ratsiraka, who seized power as a young naval officer in 1975, governed Madagascar until 1991 and again from 1996 to 2002.
He left the country after losing disputed elections.
His return comes three days after a unity government was unveiled to try to end the political deadlock in Madagascar.
In 2003, a Madagascan court sentenced Mr Ratsiraka in his absence to 10 years' hard labour for corruption. However, the current President, Andry Rajoelina, who seized power two years ago, has said that the 75 year old is free to return home.
The former president has refused to sign the deal brokered by the Southern African Development Community (Sadc) which aims to resolve Madagascar's long-running political crisis.
Journalist Tim Healy told the BBC hundreds of supporters gathered at the airport in the capital, Antananarivo, to welcome Mr Ratsiraka.
In a speech, he said he was opposed to the unity government as he believes it is not consensual.
"There should be a conference not just by the four main political leaders, but all the other parties and civil society groups must be involved," AFP news agency quotes Mr Ratsiraka as saying.
"There's need for reconciliation. I will shake everybody's hands in the overall interest of the nation. The government says it wants to reach out, I'm reaching out in return."
But Mr Rajoelina, who is unelected, has already refused the proposal of the so-called "conference of four presidents", reports Mr Healy.
The most recent imaging search by the overflying Rosetta "mothership" can find no trace of the probe.
Philae touched down on 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko on 12 November, returning a swathe of data before going silent when its battery ran flat.
European Space Agency scientists say they are now waiting on Philae itself to reveal its position when it garners enough power to call home.
Researchers have a pretty good idea of where the robot should be, but pinpointing its exact location is tricky.
On touchdown, Philae bounced twice before coming to rest in a dark ditch.
This much is clear from the pictures it took of its surroundings. And this location, the mission team believes, is just off the top of the "head" of the duck-shaped comet.
The orbiting Rosetta satellite photographed this general location on 12, 13 and 14 December, with each image then scanned by eye for any bright pixels that might be Philae. But no positive detection has yet been made.
Rosetta has now moved further from 67P, raising its altitude from 20km to 30km, and there is no immediate plan to go back down (certainly, not to image Philae's likely location).
Even if they cannot locate it, scientists are confident the little probe will eventually make its whereabouts known.
As 67P moves closer to the Sun, lighting conditions for the robot should improve, allowing its solar cells to recharge the battery system.
The latest assessment suggests communications could be re-established in the May/June timeframe, with Philae distributing enough electricity to its instruments to resume operations around September.
This would be at perihelion - the time when the comet is closest to the Sun (185 million km away) and at its most active.
Scientists continue to pore over the data Philae managed to send back before going into hibernation.
Some of the results - together with ongoing Rosetta observations - were reported at the recent American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco.
Highlights include a clearer idea of the nature of the comet's surface. Researchers say this appears to be covered in many places by a soft, dusty "soil" about 15-20cm in depth.
Underneath this is a very hard layer, which is thought to be mainly sintered ice.
The conference had the rare opportunity to see pictures from Rosetta's Osiris camera system.
These high-resolution images are not normally shown publicly because the camera team has been given an exclusive period to study the data and make discoveries.
Among them was a shot looking into a pit on the surface, revealing an array of rounded features that the Osiris team has nicknamed "dinosaur eggs".
These features have a preferred scale of about 2-3m and may be evidence of the original icy blocks that came together 4.5 billion years ago to build the comet.
The dino eggs have been seen at a number of locations, including in cliff walls.
Early interpretations of the general surface of the comet indicate that many structures are probably the result of collapse over internal voids.
Although a small body just 4km across, 67P's gravity is still strong enough to shape depressions and arrange fallen boulders.
A good example of this is in "Hapi" valley - the giant gorge that forms the "neck" of the comet.
It contains a string of large blocks at its base, which one Osiris team-member argued very likely fell from the nearby vertical cliff dubbed "Hathor".
All the surface features on 67P carry names that follow an ancient Egyptian theme.
Hapi was revered as a god of the Nile. Hathor was a deity associated with the sky.

All on board died when the Bond Super Puma came down in 2009.
Relatives have called for a criminal inquiry, but the Crown Office defended its decision not to prosecute.
Sheriff Principal Derek Pyle said the precautions which might have avoided the deaths included following agreed procedures and communications.
He said the operators had considered replacing part of the gearbox just a week before the crash but did not do so because of a failure of communication with the manufacturer.
Sheriff Pyle said: "During the course of the inquiry there was much discussion about the circumstances which led Bond not to follow the clear terms of the maintenance.
"Bond readily acknowledged that they ought to have done so.
By James CookScotland Correspondent, BBC News
As the families of Flight 85N sat down to face the cameras in Aberdeen, the air throbbed as a helicopter passed overhead.
It was an eerie reminder of why we were here.
Every day hundreds of North Sea oil workers place their faith in helicopters and those who manufacture and operate them.
The relatives of some of those who died say that faith was betrayed twice: once by Bond's failure to operate "by the book" and again by a failure to bring anyone to justice.
Crash relatives 'one big family'
"The essential fact is that everyone in the company well knew that maintenance must be done by the book.
"On one occasion, that fundamental rule was broken. It resulted in the failure to detect a significant fault in the helicopter's gearbox, which possibly - but only possibly - resulted in the crash."
The Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) pinpointed a catastrophic failure of the gearbox in its examination of the crash.
Sheriff Pyle acknowledged that the exact cause of the gearbox failure which led to the crash could not be fully determined.
He concluded that on the balance of probabilities the spalling - the fracturing of metal - in the gearbox was the probable cause of the accident.
Lawyer Tom Marshall, for the families, said he was pleased the sheriff principal had accepted that the crash could have been prevented if Bond had followed the maintenance manual.
He said there was a need for a wider public inquiry, and that the families wanted to meet the Lord Advocate to discuss the earlier decision not to pursue criminal prosecutions.
Audrey Wood, whose son Stuart died, said: "Safety is absolutely paramount, and everything must be done by the book.
"We, the families, feel let down by the system. We just wanted answers.
"We will never have closure, this will go on and on for us."
Helicopter operator Bond said: "We have always accepted that we made mistakes through honest confusion over telephone calls and emails.
"Lessons needed to be learned, lessons have been learned and lessons continue to be learned.
"We would like to express again our deep sorrow at the 16 lives lost.
"Bond Offshore hopes that Sheriff Principal Pyle's determination brings a degree of closure to the families, friends and dependents of those who died in the tragedy of 2009."
Tommy Campbell, from the Unite union, said it was a "travesty of justice" that there had not been a criminal prosecution.
He also called for the decision to be reconsidered, and added: "These failings have cost lives."
A Crown Office spokesman said Crown Counsel had "fully assessed" the evidence before deciding there was not enough evidence for a prosecution.
"For a criminal prosecution to have taken place, the Crown would have to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt. The Sheriff Principal makes clear that a reasonable doubt remained over the technical cause of the crash.
"The evidence presented during the FAI has not altered the insufficiency of evidence, therefore the decision not to hold criminal proceedings remains the correct one.
"We will be offering to meet relatives again to discuss the Sheriff Principal's judgement."　
A six-week hearing into the crash was held in Aberdeen earlier this year.
It heard evidence from the helicopter operator Bond Offshore Helicopters and manufacturer Eurocopter, as well as crash investigators.
Senior AAIB operations investigator Timothy Atkinson told the fatal accident inquiry that the gearbox failure meant there was nothing the crew could do - and the crash was "not survivable".
Eight of the victims came from the north east of Scotland, seven from the rest of the UK, and one from Latvia.
The two crew who died were Capt Paul Burnham, 31, of Methlick, Aberdeenshire, and co-pilot Richard Menzies, 24, of Droitwich Spa, who worked for Bond Offshore Helicopters.
The KCA Deutag employees killed were Brian Barkley, 30, of Aberdeen; Vernon Elrick, 41, of Aberdeen; Leslie Taylor, 41, of Kintore, Aberdeenshire; Nairn Ferrier, 40, of Dundee; Gareth Hughes, 53, of Angus; David Rae, 63, of Dumfries; Raymond Doyle, 57, of Cumbernauld; James John Edwards, 33, of Liverpool; Nolan Goble, 34, of Norwich, and Mihails Zuravskis, 39, of Latvia.
The other victims were James Costello, 24, of Aberdeen, who was contracted to Production Services Network (PSN); Alex Dallas, 62, of Aberdeen, who worked for Sparrows Offshore Services; Warren Mitchell, 38, of Oldmeldrum, Aberdeenshire, who worked for Weatherford UK; and Stuart Wood, 27, of Aberdeen, who worked for Expro North Sea Ltd.
The beech trees were found with drill holes at their bases in a wood near Accrington known as Laund Clough.
The trust believes a weed killer, "likely to be glyphosate", was used. A spokesman said the trees would now have to be removed at a cost of £2,000.
A Tree Preservation Order is in place, meaning the incident is being treated as a criminal offence.
Lancashire Police have been informed of the incident which happened close to nearby housing.
Colin Riley, site manager, said: "During my fifteen years at the Woodland Trust, I have never seen damage on this scale.
"I cannot fathom why someone would wilfully destroy trees in this way - especially given their age and protected status."
He added: "Our native woods suffer enough from threats such as tree disease and a changing climate - without someone setting out to intentionally kill them."
Laund Clough is a popular local wood for nearby residents, mainly used by dogwalkers and children.

ACS, which is based at Perth Airport, offers pilot training and engineering and maintenance services for private and commercial operators in Scotland.
Glasgow Airport-based Cloud Global specialises in aviation recruitment, aircraft leasing and aviation support.
The purchase of ACS will create an operation with a combined turnover of £3.5m and a workforce of 20.
The deal will see Cloud Global utilise ACS to maintain its existing fleet of 10 aircraft.
Cloud Global said ACS managing director Allan Falconer would be leaving the business to "pursue other commercial opportunities".
He will be replaced by Cloud Global director Graeme Frater.
Mr Frater said: "This is a very positive development for both businesses.
"We had been looking for an opportunity to expand and it was clear from our previous dealings with ACS that the company provided a very good fit with our business model.
"Our strategy of developing various divisions has proven very successful and this deal will allow us to explore new opportunities to add to our client list which includes such prestigious names as Emirates, Etihad Airways, Apollo Aviation Group and IAS Medical Ltd."
Konta had hoped to become the first British woman to play in a Wimbledon singles final since 1977.
But Williams couldn't be beaten. The American won 6-4 6-2 on Centre Court and will now face Spain's Garbine Muguruza.
Williams is the oldest Grand Slam singles finalist since Martina Navratilova finished runner-up at Wimbledon in 1994.
A 51-year-old woman was hit by a black Skoda Octavia car on the A484 at Sandy Road, Llanelli, at about 03:00 GMT.
Dyfed-Powys Police said she was seriously injured and was taken to Cardiff's University Hospital of Wales, where she remains.
The work, led by the West Yorkshire Combined Authority, claims the plans are too "narrowly focused" on connecting six major northern cities and Manchester Airport.
It said "too little attention" had been paid to the needs of other cities.
Transport for the North (TfN) previously said a recommended route was due in 2017.
It is currently carrying out a feasibility study into the government's plans for HS3 - also dubbed Northern Powerhouse Rail.
Plans for a high-speed rail link between Manchester and Leeds were first announced in 2014.
The combined authority's report said there have been concerns TfN's remit concentrated mainly on serving Leeds, Liverpool, Sheffield, Newcastle, Hull, Manchester and the airport.
Stops in Bradford and York would boost the economy and regeneration, it said.
Andy Caton, from the West and North Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce, supported its recommendations.
He said: "[A stop in Bradford] would not just improve connectivity and commuting times but Bradford would benefit enormously from regeneration impacts, more people, more footfall, more business coming in to the area.
"In establishing better transport through Leeds to Manchester it's logical that you also have a station in York because that then opens up not just York but all of the north of Yorkshire."
By the end of the day an armoured police carrier was towing the veteran opposition leader Kizza Besigye back home in his car.
Thousands of his supporters poured on to the streets and had run-ins with the security forces.
At least one person died in the clashes and more than 11 were injured.
It is a scene many Ugandans had dreaded.
This is the fourth time that Mr Besigye, candidate for the opposition Forum for Democratic Party, is taking on President Yoweri Museveni.
There are six others in the presidential race, including the independent Amama Mbabazi, a former prime minister and once close to the president.
All three men fought in the five-year civil war that brought Mr Museveni to power in 1986 and have played key roles in the country's politics ever since.
But while it is may seem business as usual with the same old faces, the democratic space in Uganda is changing.
In days gone by politicians bought votes, now it is the voters who have been handing over their own money.
It is crowdfunding, Ugandan style.
It started spontaneously at Mr Besigye's rallies - with supporters running forward to offer him cash, often only a dollar or less.
In the end his team gave out numbers so people could contribute via their mobile phones.
For Mr Besigye this shows how the election can be an opportunity to build mass support that can challenge the government in a peaceful manner.
"We have gone into this campaign well aware that it's not a free or fair process," he told the BBC.
"Therefore we undertook to rally people to defy all these challenges."
This is a country with an extremely young population. More than 75% of the population is below the age of 30.
Major presidential contenders:
Uganda election: Issues, candidates and the poll
And with that the internet, especially via social media, has become the new battleground.
There are now 8.5 million web users, according to government data, slightly higher than the number of people who voted at the last election.
Candidates have aggressively pursued their online campaigns.
The 71-year-old president still sings and raps at rallies - and though none of his songs have gone viral, he is still considered favourite to win.
His critics say he is simply determined to hold on to power - with fears that volunteer vigilantes armed with sticks and managed by the security forces, known as "crime preventers", may be used for intimidation.
But the electoral commission says it has been free and fair so far and will continue to be an impartial process.
Other presidential candidates:
Media guru Simon Kaheru, one of the most-followed Ugandans on Twitter and part of the president's campaign team, feels it is wrong to focus all the criticism on one man.
"Uganda is not a monarchy, and the position of president is not the beginning and the end of leadership in Uganda.
"One opposition politician has been a candidate for 15 years, for instance, and another has been in leadership for the same time as Museveni - there is practically no difference in terms of longevity."
Mr Museveni is making a concerted effort to try to appeal to young modern voters, most of whom were not born when he came to power.
He took part in his first televised presidential debate last weekend.
Most people did not expect him to handle it well, considering he is used to giving one-hour speeches where he tends to lecture his audience.
But he was very concise and to the point, though many found the questioning easier than an earlier debate which he boycotted at the last moment.
Another first in 30 years is that there are three strong contenders on the ballot.
People are curious to see whether Mr Mbabazi, who recently fell out with Mr Museveni, will draw votes - and who this will hurt most.
If he eats into Mr Museveni's vote, it could push the election to a second round.
This too would be novel for President Museveni, who has never failed to get anything less than 59% in the past four ballots.
The 37-year-old victim was shot on Thursday evening in Thoresby Close, Harworth, Nottinghamshire.
He is currently being treated in hospital for his injuries, which are not thought to be life-threatening.
The three men, aged 35 to 45, were arrested in South Yorkshire shortly after the shooting and remain in police custody.
Nottinghamshire Police want to speak to anyone who has information about the incident.
He spent several minutes shaking hands, chatting and posing for pictures on Thursday, telling well-wishers: "All I've got to do is get the lines right."
The couple say they have been "incredibly moved" by public reaction.
In a message in their official wedding programme they thanked "everyone most sincerely for their kindness".
During Friday's Westminster Abbey ceremony Miss Middleton will vow to "love, comfort, honour and keep" Prince William but will not vow to obey him.
The service will be the epitome of "Britishness", St James's Palace said.
VisitBritain has predicted more than 600,000 people will be on the streets to watch Friday's events and several hundred are already camping out in tents and sleeping bags outside the abbey and in The Mall.
Prince William, who is spending the evening with the Prince of Wales, Duchess of Cornwall and Prince Harry, emerged from his London home Clarence House to walk to The Mall at about 2030 BST.
Some of the the crowd were spending the night on the street and the prince asked them about their preparations.
Earlier, the Duchess of Cornwall also met some of the fans in The Mall.
She described Prince William and Miss Middleton as being "all ready" for their big day and said the Royal Family were "very excited".

Meanwhile, the Foreign Office says the invitation for the Syrian ambassador in London has been withdrawn following reports that up to 400 pro-democracy protesters have been killed in Syria by security forces in recent weeks.
A Foreign Office statement said: "Buckingham Palace shares the view of the Foreign Office that it is not considered appropriate for the Syrian ambassador to attend the wedding."
Earlier on Thursday Miss Middleton took part in her last rehearsal at Westminster Abbey, with best man Prince Harry, the bridesmaids and pageboys.
Miss Middleton and her family are gathering at the Goring Hotel in Belgravia.
She arrived at the hotel at about 1745 BST accompanied by her mother and sister and stood outside for a short while as photographers took pictures.
Some 50 foreign heads of state are among the 1,900 invited guests attending the wedding.
Meanwhile the Queen has hosted an event for British and foreign royals at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, near Hyde Park, in central London.
British royals including the Duke of York, the Princess Royal and the Earl and Countess of Wessex attended, as well as princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.
Prince and Princess Michael of Kent, Lord Freddie Windsor and Lady Gabriella, and Zara Phillips and fiancee Mike Tindall were also there.
Other royal guests included Prince Pavlos of Greece and Princess Marie-Chantal, Queen Sofia of Spain, Prince Felipe and Princess Letizia of Spain.
Queen Margarethe of Denmark, Crown Prince Alexander of Serbia and Princess Katherine, the Grand Duke and Duchess of Luxembourg, King Harald of Norway and Queen Sonia also attended.
It has emerged that the Queen will leave for a weekend away after hosting the wedding day lunchtime reception, giving over Buckingham Palace for William and Kate's black tie party in the evening.
It means the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh will miss Prince Harry's best man's speech and Michael Middleton's father-of-the-bride address.
In their official wedding programme released on Thursday, the royal couple's message reads: "We are both so delighted that you are able to join us in celebrating what we hope will be one of the happiest days of our lives.
"The affection shown to us by so many people during our engagement has been incredibly moving, and has touched us both deeply.
"We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone most sincerely for their kindness."
Details of the order of service were also released.
The bride will walk up the aisle to coronation anthem I Was Glad, by Sir Charles Hubert Hastings Parry, from Psalm 122.
It was composed for the crowning of Prince William's great-great-great grandfather, Edward VII, at Westminster Abbey in 1902.
The couple have chosen to use the Series One (1966) Book of Common Prayer ceremony.
Classical compositions by Elgar, Britten and Vaughan Williams will feature during the ceremony, alongside the hymn Jerusalem and the English melody Greensleeves.
St James's Palace said many of the "stunning" pieces were chosen by the royal couple for their "theatre".
The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall, Prince Harry, Miss Middleton's parents - Carole and Michael Middleton - her sister Pippa and her brother James will all act as witnesses and sign the marriage registers.
James Middleton will also give The Lesson, reading Romans 12: 1-2, 9-18.
The souvenir wedding programme is available to download free as a PDF from the official Royal Wedding website.
The booklet will be sold for £2 a copy along the processional route, with proceeds going to the Foundation of Prince William and Prince Harry.

Train companies have warned 400,000 people are expected to travel by train into central London on Friday - a 15% rise in passengers compared with a normal public holiday - but say they will be able to cope.
It is anticipated the events will be watched by millions of people worldwide on television.
Thousands of journalists have descended on London and makeshift studios are outside Buckingham Palace and along the wedding route.
Scotland Yard has indicated it would take pre-emptive action to stop people causing trouble and said it "brought forward" three raids on premises in the capital, believed to be occupied by squatters, because of the wedding.
But Labour backbencher John McDonnell raised a point of order in the Commons describing the action - which the Metropolitan Police said was not "specifically related" to the wedding - as "disproportionate".
The Met Office says Friday will start off dry but cloudy in London. It will become brighter through the morning, with some sunny spells, but there is a 30% risk of showers about noon when Prince William and his bride are expected to emerge from Westminster Abbey after the wedding.
Forecasters also say there is a risk of heavy showers developing later on. Temperatures in the capital are expected to reach a high of 19C (66F) in the afternoon.
Swindon have won six of their ten League One games since Williams took interim charge in December after Martin Ling resigned citing "health reasons".
In January, the 35-year-old former Brighton Under-21 and reserve team coach was made manager until the end of the 2015-16 season.
"Luke's come in and results speak for themselves," Power told BBC Wiltshire.
"That is something that we're looking at at the moment and, you know, it might happen fairly soon."
Swindon have risen to 12th in the table under Williams' management and are now only seven points outside the play-off spots.
"This season has been a bit transitional, it wasn't meant to be like that but through injuries and other reasons it's turned into one of those," Power said.
"At the moment we're on a good run and if we finish strongly it might actually be a fruitful season.
"But definitely, the crux of the team and a lot of the players that wouldn't necessarily have played if those injuries hadn't occurred have come on and are now some of the strongest players in the side
"It's definitely a team we're excited about for next season."
In a new strategy, Sport England will spend £250m over four years as it targets the 28% of people who do less than 30 minutes of exercise per week.
There will be a shift in emphasis towards the least active groups: typically women, the disabled and those from low socio-economic backgrounds.
It will also dedicate funding to children from the age of five.
Choose which celebrity you'd like help from in the new Couch to 5K programme, designed for people who have done little or no running.
Previously, Sport England has focused on helping youngsters from the age of 14.
As part of its new strategy, it will invest up to £30m on a plan to increase the number of volunteers in grassroots sport.
The organisation is also looking to work with a broader ranger of partners, with less money going to national governing bodies (NGBs).
Jennie Price, Sport England chief executive, said: "In the next four years, we're going to dedicate more time, expertise and more than £250m to tackling inactivity.
"We will be the single largest national investor in projects for people to whom sport and physical activity is a distant thought, or not even on their radar."
Responding to Sport England's announcement, Clive Efford MP, Labour's Shadow Minister for Sport, said: "We have been calling for a long-term plan that empowers the people who deliver sport at the grassroots in our communities.
"This is a step in the right direction, but we will be watching to see if Sport England is capable of the reforming itself to oversee the sort of changes we need."
Barry Horne, chief executive for the English Federation of Disability Sport, added: "This new strategy signals a major step towards seeking equality.
"Disabled people are the least active of all the under-represented groups in sport. That gives you an indication of the level of challenge ahead and it cannot be a short-term fix."
Nick Pearson, the chief executive of parkrun, said: "This feels to me like a watershed moment. This long-awaited directional change in strategy will encourage organisations to focus in areas that we know make a difference.
"We particularly welcome the extra investment into volunteering, into tackling inactivity and focusing on the next generation through extending the scope of investment to include children from the age of five."
Sport England directs more than half of its £325m annual funding towards NGBs, with a focus on more traditional, formal sport.
But, last year, the government voiced its displeasure after data suggested the growth in participation that followed London's successful bid to stage the 2012 Olympics was stalling.
Almost six out of 10 adults were playing no sport in a typical week.
Sport England was asked to back successful projects run by charities and organisations, outside the traditional NGB structure.
The main beneficiaries are likely to be Access Sport, Greenhouse Sports, parkrun, Sported, StreetGames and Street League - not-for-profit bodies that have enjoyed success in getting young people more active.
The impact of these programmes will be gauged in a new way, with the much-maligned Active People Survey being replaced by Active Lives - a wider survey that will also measure activities such as dance, rambling and cycling to work.
The new strategy comes at a crucial time for sport policy.
Funding was protected in last year's comprehensive spending review, but community sport depends on money from local authorities.
With local government grant funding suffering a 24% cut, non-statutory leisure budgets are under increasing threat.
Wales face the Silver Ferns on Tuesday and Wednesday at Ice Arena Wales in front of the hosts' largest ever crowd.
The two-match series marks 20 years since the visitors last played the host nation on Welsh soil and head coach, Trish Wilcox, is relishing the meetings.
"The excitement has been building for this test series," said Wilcox.
Wales will be led by Suzy Drane, while under-21 player Chloe James joins the senior line-up for the first time and Nia Jones makes the cut despite previously prioritising football over netball.
Wilcox said spirits were high in the camp for what promise to be two stern tests.
"We have had a really productive camp this weekend and all players have pushed for a place in the final 12," she said.
"The players are relishing the opportunity to benchmark themselves against world-class players."
New Zealand arrive in Wales having finished second in the Quad series behind winners Australia, and above hosts England in third and last-placed South Africa.
Wales squad: Sara Bell, Fern Davies, Suzy Drane (capt), Bethan Dyke, Chloe James, Kyra Jones, Nia Jones, Lateisha Kidner, Chelsea Lewis, Kelly Morgan (vice-capt), Georgia Rowe, Amanda Varey.
It follows a YouGov poll for the Times putting left-winger Mr Corbyn ahead in the race and Ms Kendall fourth.
Senior Labour figures, including ex-PM Tony Blair and Lord Mandelson, have warned against a victory for Mr Corbyn.
But Ms Kendall aides said suggestions she should back Andy Burnham or Yvette Cooper were "not going to happen."
Norman Smith, BBC assistant political editor, said "pressure has been mounting" on Ms Kendall to withdraw from the race.
But our correspondent said aides to the Leicester West MP dismissed the calls, accusing Mr Burnham's and Ms Cooper's camps of "fuelling" the idea.
One source said: "Both Andy and Yvette have seen their numbers fall this week following the flip flop over welfare and that's what is making these campaigns try and make Liz somehow the problem to distract from their own issues."
The source said that under the preference voting system it would not make any difference, even if Ms Kendall pulled out.
The Labour leadership race has been the subject of widespread debate after a YouGov poll this week suggested that in the final round of voting Mr Corbyn could finish six points ahead of bookmakers' favourite Mr Burnham.
The poll suggested Mr Corbyn could receive 43% of first preference votes, ahead of Mr Burnham on 26%, Ms Cooper on 20% and Ms Kendall on 11%.
Taking second preferences into account, the poll - of 1,054 people eligible to vote in the contest and carried out between Friday and Tuesday - pointed to a 6% victory for Mr Corbyn.
Speaking to the Times, Lord Mandelson warned the Labour Party's existence as "an electoral force" was at stake.
"Those of us who stayed and fought to save the Labour party in the 1980s will be experiencing a growing sense of deja vu," he told the Times.
"The last five years have left us with a terrible legacy to overcome with the existence of the Labour Party as an effective electoral force now at stake."
On Tuesday, former prime minister Mr Blair warned Labour would not win again from a "traditional leftist platform".
Mr Blair said Labour the leadership contest was being presented as a choice "between heart and head", but added that people who said their heart was with Mr Corbyn should "get a transplant".
And former adviser to Mr Blair, John McTernan, told BBC Newsnight two of the candidates should withdraw in favour of an "anyone but Corbyn" candidate.
Labour is due to announce its new leader at a special conference on 12 September.
The British government halted UK flights to and from Sharm el-Sheikh after intelligence suggested a plane crash in Sinai on Saturday could have been caused by a bomb on board the aircraft.
The UK is working with the Egyptian authorities and air carriers to boost security at the airport so holidaymakers can get home on rescheduled flights, or on an earlier flight if they want.
Airlines have said they expect to start flying people back to the UK on Friday, with British Airways the first to say services will resume then.
But PM David Cameron has warned it will take some time to get everyone home.
Read the latest Foreign Office advice here.
The advice is to try to remain calm as the threat level has not been raised in the resort - only air travel is affected.
You should get in touch with your tour operator, travel agent or airline about travel arrangements.
British Consulate staff are also being sent to the airport and resort to help if you are flying back to the UK very soon.
You may want to call your travel insurer to check they will still provide you with cover while you are there.
But the Association of British Travel Agents (Abta) advises that most insurers will continue to provide cover for holidaymakers who are waiting to get home.
The Foreign Office says security is being increased in the Sharm el-Sheikh and Hurghada resort areas, at the international airports and at check points near towns and many other areas.
Tour operators should meet extra accommodation costs for people on a package holiday.
The Foreign Office is advising against all but essential travel by air to or from Sharm el-Sheikh airport.
Anyone who ignores this advice will invalidate their travel insurance.
If you're not on a package holiday you should contact your travel insurance provider to check you are covered.
Those with holidays booked within the next 48 hours are advised to contact their travel company to discuss their options, says Abta.
"If you have booked a package you will be entitled to a refund or alternative holiday," it said.
But, a word of warning - travellers may have to pay the difference in price if going on an alternative trip.
If you are due to fly to or from Sharm el-Sheik beyond the next 48 hours, you should check with your travel company nearer to the time of your departure to find out what your options are, as there will probably be a review of the current advice.
Different firms are likely to have different policies.
The Irish Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) has also advised its citizens against all non-essential travel to Egypt.
The Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs is advising its citizens against travel to or from Sharm el-Sheikh airport, but says flight suspensions are down to individual airlines
UK officials said they expected other countries to issue similar advice.
Abta says the latest change in advice applies only to air travel to and from Sharm el-Sheikh.
Previous travel restrictions for other areas may still apply, and you should check before travelling.
The pedestrian, aged in his 40s, was fatally injured in the incident in Swanley on Saturday afternoon.
An eyewitness told the BBC he was struck in Hart Dyke Road and then trapped under the car for about 100m as it was driven up Lynden Way.
Residents gave first aid to the man before he was taken to Darent Valley Hospital, where he later died.
Tributes and flowers have been left at the scene of the crash.
Kent Police said it was investigating a suspicious incident where a man "appears to have been dragged under a car".
The force has appealed for anyone with information to contact officers.
The International Paralympic Committee will announce any punishment at a news conference at 16:00 BST.
The IPC said reports it had banned Russia were "pure speculation".
It "opened suspension proceedings" against Russia following a report that claimed the country had operated a state-sponsored doping programme.
Former World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) president Dick Pound has called on the IPC to ban Russia from the Paralympics, which start on 7 September.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) chose not to ban Russia ahead of the Olympics, which began on Friday.
The IOC was asked by Wada to impose a blanket ban on Russian athletes for the Olympic Games in Rio following the release of the McLaren report.
Instead, each individual sporting federation was given the power to decide if Russian competitors were clean to compete.
A three-person IOC panel then had the final say.
More than 270 Russian athletes were cleared to compete at the Olympics.
Some banned athletes are still appealing against the decision to block their involvement at the Games.
Commissioned by Wada, it looked into claims by Grigory Rodchenkov, the former head of Russia's national anti-doping laboratory.
He alleged he doped dozens of athletes in the run-up to the 2014 Winter Games with the help of the Russian government, which he said exploited its host status to subvert the drug-testing programme.
Rodchenkov, now in hiding in the United States, also alleged he doped athletes before the 2012 Games in London, the 2013 World Athletics Championships in Moscow and the 2015 World Swimming Championships in Kazan, Russia.
Tom Hamer improved his own British record in the S14 200m freestyle, while Mikey Jones gained the qualifying mark in the S6 400m freestyle.
Steph Millward is in line for her third Games after managing the standard in the S9 400m freestyle.
Ellie Simmonds set a second qualifying time in her S6 400m freestyle.
It is the event in which four-time Paralympic gold medallist Simmonds won gold at Beijing in 2008 at the age of 13, and then at London 2012.
African Union mission head Olusegun Obasanjo dismissed complaints of fraud, while another observer urged all parties to "accept the hard facts".

President Robert Mugabe's party is claiming victory in the election, which has been dismissed by Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai as a "huge farce".
By Brian HungweBBC News, Harare
There is a mood of despair among Morgan Tsvangirai's supporters - they are shocked and dejected.
A palpable feeling has gripped the capital, Harare, where people's hopes had been raised by the absence of the intimidation and violence seen in past elections. Many cannot understand how President Robert Mugabe's party managed to win seats in Mr Tsvangirai's urban strongholds.
In contrast, Zanu-PF supporters feel they have brought back the father of the nation, who fought colonial rule and restored the dignity of black Zimbabweans.
The country is torn apart by political strife. Emotions are running high and the country is likely to face another period of bickering and, perhaps, economic stagnation.
The leaders of Mr Tsvangirai's MDC are meeting on Saturday to map the way forward. The question is whether he will remain at the helm, or face internal pressures to quit. The strong indications are that he may stay on in the opposition trenches until the next election.
For now, the MDC is pursuing the legal route, which - judging by the past - is unlikely to succeed.
For President Mugabe, it is time to go back to the office, where he will face the world's questions about his legitimacy.
On Wednesday, voters were choosing a president, 210 lawmakers and local councillors. The results must be declared by the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Zec) no later than five days after voting day.
No presidential figures have been announced but the first official results from national assembly elections show that Mr Mugabe's Zanu-PF party is taking an early lead. However, the seats announced were mostly in Mr Mugabe's rural strongholds, correspondents say.
Zanu-PF spokesman Rugaro Gumbo predicted that Mr Mugabe, 89, - who is running for a seventh term - would get at least 70% of the vote in the presidential poll.
"We are expecting a landslide victory," he was quoted as saying in Zimbabwe's state-run Herald newspaper.
It is illegal to publish unofficial election results in Zimbabwe. Police have warned they would take action against anyone trying to leak early results.
Zanu-PF and Mr Tsvangirai's Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) have shared an uneasy coalition government since 2009 under a deal brokered to end the deadly violence that erupted after a disputed presidential poll the previous year.
Speaking in the capital Harare on Friday, Mr Obasanjo said the elections were fair and free "from the campaigning point of view".
The former Nigerian president admitted that there were "incidents that could have been avoided", but he stressed that the 69 AU observers did not believe those irregularities could change the overall outcome of the poll.
At the same time, the AU mission expressed concern at the high number of voters turned away and those being assisted to vote - usually reserved for the illiterate or the infirm.
In a statement, it also noted that 8.7m ballot papers were printed - 35% more than the number of registered voters.
Shortly afterwards, monitors from the Southern African Development Community (SADC) - which had 562 observers - described the elections as "free and peaceful" but said it was too early to call them fair.
"In democracy we not only vote, not only campaign, but accept the hard facts, particularly the outcome," said SADC mission head Bernard Membe, according to the AFP news agency.
Mr Obasanjo's assessment sharply contrasted to that of the Zimbabwe Election Support Network (ZESN) - the largest group of domestic monitors with some 7,000 people on the ground across the country.
It said on Thursday that the elections were "seriously compromised", with as many as one million people unable to cast their ballots.
The ZESN said potential voters were much more likely to be turned away from polling stations in urban areas, where support for Mr Tsvangirai is strong, than in President Mugabe's rural strongholds.
The Herald (state-run) - 'The people have spoken':
Indications are President Mugabe will sweep to power with a colossal margin as his party scores a two-thirds majority in the National Assembly.
The absence of cases of violence has thrown MDC-T [Tsvangirai] and its handlers off kilter which is why they precariously hang onto trying to attack the voters' roll as if it is compiled at Zanu-PF headquarters.
It should be stated from the outset that the Registrar-General of Voters' Office falls under the Ministry of Home Affairs which was overseen by ministers drawn from Zanu-PF and MDC.
The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission is made up of commissioners chosen from lists submitted by the three parties in Government.
It thus comes as a surprise that today; MDC-T denies ownership of the electoral process it has been party to.
Daily News (privately-owned) - 'Please stop vote fraud':
In Hatfield, hundreds of street kids and youths were given voter registration slips and went on to vote and we are told this was prevalent throughout the country.
What will Zec do about this blatant vote theft?
What people now need is change and that is the reason why yesterday [Wednesday] most of them braved the chilly weather and woke up early to join long queues to exercise their fundamental right.
Their desire is to see a better Zimbabwe. People need to separate good from evil, light from darkness, suffering from prosperity and make a demarcation between history and the future.
People went out in large numbers to put an end to Mugabe's 33-year rule that was characterised by suffering.

The group also alleged significant irregularities before the poll. It said that 99.7% of rural voters were registered on the electoral roll in June compared with only 67.9% of urban voters.
But speaking to al-Jazeera, Mr Obasanjo questioned ZESN's conclusions, describing them as "not verifiable".
He said he was satisfied that the apparent anomalies between urban and rural voter registration had been explained by the registrar-general, who had the accurate figures for births and deaths.
Mr Obasanjo also said that Mr Tsvangirai's camp should have addressed concerns about the electoral roll before the vote - not after.
MDC member and Finance Minister Tendai Biti told the BBC that the assistance voting in rural areas was a "euphemism to say you have to vote for Zanu-PF under the guidance and watch of someone else".
"They [Zanu-PF] have stolen the election so much so that they are embarrassed at what they have done," Mr Biti added.
Still, Mr Obasanjo's assessment of the elections is a big boost for President Mugabe and a heavy blow for his opponents, the BBC's Andrew Harding in Johannesburg says.
It is unclear now how Mr Tsvangirai intends to fight on, our correspondent adds.
On Thursday, the prime minister said the elections were "null and void".
"Our conclusion is that this has been a huge farce. It's a sham election that does not reflect the will of the people."
Extra police units - some in riot gear - have been deployed in Harare.
Under the electoral law, if no presidential candidate gains 50% of the ballots, a run-off will be held on 11 September.
Lachlan Simpson, a chef from Embo, near Dornoch, has not been seen since he left a dance in the town at 01:30 last Sunday morning.
Dozens of volunteers joined police teams, search dogs, coastguard and an RAF mountain rescue team in the search for the 22-year-old.
Police said co-ordinated volunteer searches had been concluded but investigations were continuing.
On Saturday, 56 volunteers joined police and rescue services to search outlying parts of Dornoch and an area known locally as The Links.
Ch Insp Iain MacLelland said: "Once again, I would seek this opportunity to voice my appreciation to those volunteers who have provided tremendous support over the past few days and once again this morning.
"It has now been a week since Lachlan was last seen and it goes without saying that we remain concerned for his welfare.
"It is possible that he may have sought shelter so we would again appeal to people with outbuildings or sheds to check these and report anything unusual to us.
"Co-ordinated volunteer searches have now concluded but I would stress that this is still a missing person inquiry and investigations do remain ongoing.
"We have carried out detailed searches of the areas where Lachlan was last seen including coastline and in-land areas surrounding Dornoch.
"We are continuing to keep Lachlan's family updated and provide them with support at this difficult time."
Mr Simpson is described as 6ft tall, slim-medium build, with short fair hair.
He was wearing a green and white top when he went missing.
Liam Feeney met a long ball in the box to fire Bolton ahead, having earlier gone close with a double chance.
Zach Clough made it 2-0 from the spot after Ethan Ebanks-Landell brought Wellington Silva down in the area.
Prince-Desir Gouano fouled Adam Le Fondre to allow Benik Afobe to pull one back from the spot, while Ben Amos did well to deny Le Fondre late on.
The victory was Bolton's first in 12 games in all competitions, dating back to 6 April, and a first triumph at home since overcoming Millwall 2-0 at the Macron Stadium more than six months ago.
Defeat leaves Wolves one point and one place ahead of Bolton.
Emiliano Martinez, starting ahead of goalkeeper Carl Ikeme, who kept a clean sheet on his Nigeria debut against Tanzania last week, was called upon early on by Feeney, with the winger then putting his follow-up effort wide.
Feeney eventually beat on-loan Arsenal goalkeeper Martinez to open his goalscoring account for 2015-16, punishing Wolves' defence for failing to deal with a long ball over the top.

Ebanks-Landell went close to a quick response, while Afobe, Le Fondre and James Henry threatened, before Clough doubled the Trotters' advantage in first-half injury time following Ebanks-Landell's challenge to stop Wellington's fine run into the box.
Jed Wallace was off target for the visitors before Le Fondre went down under Prince's challenge, allowing Afobe to hit back from the spot. And Wolves continued to press in search of a leveller, with Dave Edwards going close and Le Fondre and Matt Doherty both calling Amos into action.
At the other end, Martinez twice kept Bolton out late on, foiling Emile Heskey before denying Mark Davies from close range, while Gary Madine wasted a good chance from 10 yards for the hosts.
Bolton Wanderers boss Neil Lennon:

"I am more relived than anything else. I've not had a run like that in my career either playing or managing.
"It's been a very frustrating time. But I thought the way we were playing, we could turn things around.
"I felt we deserved to win. Their penalty was soft and changed the psychology of the game for a while."
Wolverhampton Wanderers boss boss Kenny Jackett:
"We will play worse than that and win games. We had a lot of chances.
"I felt after a rocky first 15 minutes, we played well and dominated the majority of the rest of the first half. Then we had a real go second half trying to get back into the match.
"We showed some good spirit and played some good football. But we have to iron out one or two areas and lose some naivety in some situations where we have given away too many easy goals and sides haven't earned them."

His victory in the Spain on Sunday makes him the youngest driver in history to win a Formula 1 grand prix - by two years and 210 days. He is 18 years and 228 days old.
He has broken the record set by his predecessor at Red Bull, Sebastian Vettel. And the reason no-one is likely to surpass it is that so young was Verstappen when he made his debut last year that F1 has since set a minimum age of 18 for entry into the sport.
That record in itself marks Verstappen out as remarkable, but it was the manner in which he achieved that really stands out - and which suggests that, at least in his case, the need for a minimum age was misguided.
The Dutchman's win was in his first race for the Red Bull senior team, to which he was promoted from Toro Rosso after four races of this season. He had never driven the car until Friday's first practice on the Circuit de Catalunya - even if he had managed two days in the team's state-of-the-art simulator.
Watching him out on track in those first minutes, there were a couple of wobbles as he adjusted to the increased grip of the Red Bull compared with the Toro Rosso he had been driving until then. But even so his first flying lap was an impressively fast 1:27.5 and he ended the session within 0.1secs of team-mate Daniel Ricciardo.
From there, Verstappen was stunning, even if Ricciardo ended up beating him in qualifying by 0.4secs with a quite stupendous one-off lap at the death.
"Max's performance has been exemplary," said team boss Christian Horner.
Listen to Max Verstappen taking maiden win
"The biggest aspect has been his calmness. He has a lot of capacity when driving the car. He is a young man completely in control of what he was doing. He has not put a wheel wrong all weekend."
There were a few questions flying around the paddock after the race as to exactly how and why Verstappen found himself in the lead of the race.
Some scented conspiracy, and said they did not understand Red Bull's decision to switch Ricciardo - who had led from the start - to a three-stop strategy, forcing him to overtake three cars to regain the lead.
Track position is critical at Barcelona and Ricciardo had it, only for Red Bull to surrender it for him, their explanation being that they were worried about the threat from Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel behind and felt they had to split their options.
What cannot be denied, though, is that Verstappen - whose new contract with Red Bull, negotiated as part of his promotion, lasts until 2019 - was flawless in his defence of the lead when he got it.
It is very early days and as Jenson Button said on Saturday, you cannot judge an F1 driver on one qualifying session, or one race.
But what is already clear is that Verstappen is a rare talent, who can make inspirational overtaking moves, is unusually mature for his age and has the world at his feet.
Will he prove to be better than Ricciardo? That remains to be seen. Is he a potential world champion? Without doubt. Both are.
As Horner put it, this sort of performance is "usually the sign of a very bright future".
The 21-year-old was among three players whose contracts were cancelled by the Welsh club on Friday, having made 11 appearances for them this season.
Harvey played 60 times for Argyle before leaving them last summer, but only 11 of them were starts.
He is available for Truro's National League South game against Oxford City at Treyew Road.
Paul Owens, 18, was stabbed to death on the Bryansford Road, in Newcastle, last February. He died later in hospital.
David Kennaway, 27, from Kenard Villas, was due to have gone on trial for the killing but changed his plea to guilty.
His former girlfriend, 21-year-old Lyndsey Cahoon, of Central Promenade, Newcastle, has been charged with three counts of assisting an offender.
She allegedly gave a false description of the attacker and later was said to have washed Kennaway's clothes and a knife.
While no details were given to the court surrounding the stabbing, the prosecution handed in a set of agreed facts, which also outlined the mitigating and aggravating factors in the case, and the precise time when Kennaway armed himself.
The prosecuction lawyer said it was hoped that this "matrix" of the case would provide some assistance to the court when it came to impose Kennaway's tariff and in those circumstances he did not wish to open the document until then.
Mr Justice Stephens said he was "obliged" to imprison Kennaway for life.

This is a man who has called right-wing Republicans "jihadists" in the past, and believed Obama to be too much of a moderate. His politics in other words, are unambiguous. He recognises himself as a liberal Jew from Brooklyn - elite, Ivy League educated, everything that the Trump supporter finds contemptible. But today I want to reach behind the partisan divisions and ask what he feels America is going through right now.
"Most people I know are on the verge of a nervous breakdown," he says. It would sound flippant at any other time. But he actually looks like he means it.
America, he tells me, no longer resembles the country he grew up in. "When Trump says make America great again, he means Make America White Again. Black people hear that. White people probably hear it as well."
But, I persist, Trump is just the messenger. His followers are numerous. I remind him of the infamous line by Clinton, calling half of Trump's supporters "a basket of deplorables - racist, xenophobic, Islamophobic." Would he call those supporters racists? Does he think she was right, I wonder?
''Yes I do," he tells me. "He is saying out loud what these people have always thought. They are so happy to have someone come out at last and say what they have been thinking. That's why they love him so much."
So if he wins, I ask, will you think of America as a racist country?
"Well, it already is a racist country in thousands of ways. When you have a [potential] head of state saying these things, it really becomes dangerous for everyone."
Liberals like to think that if they had lived through the 1930s, the rise of fascism, they would have had the vision and the courage to call it out. Does he think this is a moment of that magnitude?
"I think we are getting to that. And there are times when Trump does sound like Hitler. The 'International Banking Conspiracy' is just a code word for Jews. It's very scary. Plus his embrace by the white supremacist right wing. There were 60 of these groups 10 years ago. Now there are 900. Trump has enabled them."
I cannot tell if he's rheumy eyed - or on the verge of tears.
Does the whole political system seem broken?
"We are getting to that point. I have never been in more despair about who we are and where we are going than I am now."
He's eschewing the election night parties, choosing instead to watch here at home, his daughter at his side.
"Excited?" I ask.
"Excited?" he frowns. "I am scared out of my wits."

Vehicles were stuck for hours and people were forced to stay at a leisure centre after heavy rain at Gwynedd's Festival No.6.
Measures are also being introduced to protect the Portmeirion festival site.
Capacity is being reduced to "allow the site to breathe" and cut bottlenecks.
The new locations for the park and ride will be announced in early 2017.
Portmeirion's managing director Robin Llywelyn previously told BBC Wales "lessons needed to be learned" from the problems at this year's event.
He added there were perhaps "too many people" at the festival, which is held near Porthmadog.
In a statement on the Festival No.6 website, organisers said: "We have spent the last two months listening to feedback and working on improvements to many areas.
"We are absolutely committed to making the best festival experience for every single customer.
"We will be reducing capacity slightly to avoid bottlenecks and allow the site space to breathe.
"It is hugely important to us that the festival retains its intimate feel."
The statement also said there would be more floorings in venues to protect the ground and walkways; and work would be undertaken to "improve the access and flow of audience".
Portmeirion's historic buildings, including Castell Deudraeth, will also be better protected by limiting access to those with VIP weekend tickets, it said.
Organisers have also said they will encourage lift shares, add more shower facilities, and move some events to other venues.
The festival will also feature a new information centre, following complaints from festival-goers.
"Those celebrations are not in any way related to Islam," an official at the religious affairs ministry said.
Security agencies have been directed to stay alert to stop any gatherings.
Foreigners are free to mark the Christian holiday in their own homes, but hotels and other public places have been prohibited from marking the day.
"Having Muslims celebrate Christmas in Somalia is not the right thing, such things are akin to the abandonment," local media quote Mohamed Kheyrow, a top official at Somalia's justice and religious affairs ministry, as saying.
Correspondents say as the country recovers from years of civil war, a growing number of Somalis who grew up in the diaspora are returning home, some of them bringing Western customs with them.
Christmas is not widely celebrated in Somalia, which officially adopted Sharia in 2009, but the odd event was held - especially as an excuse to hold a party.
Mogadishu's mayor, Yusuf Hussein Jimale, told the BBC that such gatherings might also be a target for the Islamist al-Shabab group that has targeted hotels in the city in the past.
Celebrations will be allowed at UN compounds and bases for African Union peacekeepers, who are in the country to back the government's fight against the al-Qaeda-linked militants.

Strava has looked at the habits of its users in 12 cities around the world.
London topped the list for rides and runs with over 10 million activities logged in the last year.
"We've analysed billions of GPS data points and millions of activities to give a never-seen-before insight," said Strava co-founder Davis Kitchel.
The "Strava Insights" project revealed that nearly 10,000 bike or run commutes - journeys within the morning and evening rush-hour windows - are logged in London every day, four times as many as San Francisco and Amsterdam, the cities second and third respectively on the commutes list.
However, London's population is about 10 times the size of those two bike-friendly cities, although London's numbers do compare well to cities of similar sizes, such as New York, Sydney, Berlin and Paris.
Analysis of all logged activities show Tuesday is the most popular day for a bike ride in every city apart from Sao Paulo (Wednesday).
According to the results, Amsterdam residents ride the fastest (15.9 miles per hour on average), those in Milan cycle the furthest (33.7 miles) and Parisians run the fastest (eight minutes 56 seconds per mile).
The figures also show that users in Sydney ride or run the earliest, Sao Paolo residents exercise latest, and those in Barcelona have the toughest terrain to contend with.
Strava, which was launched in 2009, uses global-positioning-satellite technology to record rides and runs, allowing users to compare their performances against other users.
The San Francisco-based company does not reveal its total membership but claims it is growing by 100,000 new users every week. | Two people have been killed and another seriously injured in a knife attack at an Ikea store in Vasteras in Sweden, according to police.

From the end of July, Foyle Haven will have to open later and close earlier from Monday to Saturday. It will also have to shut all day on Sundays.
The service had been operating a seven-day-a-week service for the last six years.
The charity Depaul, which runs the facility, said it had exhausted all funding options.
Foyle Haven is a frontline day service that provides accommodation and support to vulnerable members of the local community.
More than 200 people use the centre each year.
Kieran, who uses the facility, said he appreciates the help he receives every day.
"It is a safe place to be for alcoholics," he said. "It is somewhere to eat and have some fun.
"We may be alcoholics but we aren't bad people. We need this place."
Kerry Anthony, the CEO of Depaul, said that job losses were inevitable.
"We remain deeply dedicated to the Foyle Haven Day Centre, however, without a commitment of long term funding we are faced with no other option but to reduce the hours of the service," she said.

They found the copies held in Lincoln and Salisbury were written by scribes based at those cathedrals, rather than by someone working for King John.
The discovery was made ahead of the 800th anniversary of the historic charter on Monday.
Lead investigator Professor Nicholas Vincent, said to identify the authors was a "significant achievement".
He said after 800 years it was "certainly equivalent to finding needles in a very large haystack".
The new discovery sheds further light on the Church's role in the creation and distribution of Magna Carta - which sought to restrain the powers of the king.
Professor Vincent said: "It has become apparent, not least as a result of work undertaken for the Magna Carta Project, that the bishops of England were crucial to both the publication and the preservation of Magna Carta.
"King John had no real intention that the charter be either publicised or enforced. It was the bishops instead who insisted that it be distributed to the country at large and thereafter who preserved it in their cathedral archives."
The project, involving academics from the University of East Anglia and King's College London, found the Lincoln Magna Carta was written by a scribe who produced several other documents for the Bishop of Lincoln and Salisbury's was "probably" made by someone working for the cathedral's dean and chapter.
Project team member David Carpenter, a professor of medieval history at King's College, said: "We now know that three of the four surviving originals of the charter went to cathedrals: Lincoln, Salisbury and Canterbury. Probably cathedrals were the destination for the great majority of the other original charters issued in 1215.
"This overturns the old view that the charters were sent to the sheriffs in charge of the counties. That would have been fatal since the sheriffs were the very people under attack in the charter.
"They would have quickly consigned Magna Carta to their castle furnaces."
A replica of the Great Charter began its journey down the Thames on Saturday as part of events to mark its 800th anniversary.

The government is providing road deliveries of water to more than 100,000 people in the worst affected areas of the capital, Havana.
The situation in Havana is compounded by a pipe network in poor condition.
The state-run newspaper Granma says up to 70% of water pipes supplying the capital are leaking and in urgent need of repair, the BBC's Michael Voss in Havana says.
Residents are having to use buckets and bottles to fill up with water from the road deliveries.
"It's completely out of control," one resident, Ana Gomez, said. "Just imagine that you can't wash when you want to, you have to wash when you are able to."
Another, Enrique Olivera Gonzalez, said: "As there is no water, you can't wash your clothes, cook, or clean your house."

In a letter urging Church members to vote on 7 May, the archbishops of Westminster and Southwark suggested "key issues" for reflection.
They include faith-based education, the living wage and climate change.
Last week the Church of England called for a "fresh moral vision" in politics.
More than 500,000 copies of the letter have been sent to Catholic parishes across England and Wales.
The letter does not endorse any political party, but urges Catholic voters "to think about the kind of society we want here at home and abroad".
It says elections involve a range of issues, but says some are "without doubt more central than others, particularly those concerned with the dignity and value of human life and human flourishing".
"Where do the candidates in your constituency stand on assisted suicide, euthanasia, abortion and other life issues?", it asks.
The letter also urges voters to consider their candidates' views on issues of asylum and immigration, religious freedom at home and overseas, and sustainable development.
Presenting the letter at a press conference in London, the Archbishop of Westminster Cardinal Vincent Nichols said: "It is shocking that in a society which is so rich as ours that there are people, even people in employment, who are dependent on food banks and handouts."
He was questioned about the Catholic Church's approach to the living wage after it emerged some jobs in the Church of England are paying below the threshold.
Archbishop Nichols said: "This organisation, the Bishop's Conference, certainly pays the living wage to all its employees.
"I can say for certain that every person on the payroll of the Archdiocese of Westminster is paid the living wage.
"Part of our parish audits are always to look at how anybody else who is working at the parish, and who might not be on the diocesan payroll, at what level they are being paid and to enhance that to the living wage."
The open letter to worshippers comes a week after the letter from the House of Bishops in the Church of England, which encouraged debate on issues such as nuclear defence and the economy.
The 52-page letter - an unprecedented intervention by the House of Bishops - said it was "the duty of every Christian adult to vote, even though it may have to be a vote for something less than a vision that inspires us".
At the time, Conservative MP Conor Burns said the letter was "naive", but David Cameron said he welcomed the move.
The law was introduced in mid-2013 and gave the authorities the power to tell internet companies to cut off access to sites found to be pirating media.
As first enacted, the law only applied to sites that shared pirated movies and TV shows.
The updated law has been expanded to cover sites that share links to pirated music, books and software. It does not cover images.
The updated law comes into force on 1 May.
It gives those accused of harbouring pirated media just 72 hours to respond to a complaint before a permanent ban is put in place.
No court order is required to shut down sites.
Instead, officials will respond to complaints from rights-holders.
Those accused of pirating content will then be able to argue their defence in court - but if they lose two cases, their site will go on the block list.
Figures from Russia reveal that in the first year, anti-piracy watchdogs got complaints about 175 sites, which resulted in 12 of them being put on the banned list.
Most of those banned are believed to be sites that share BitTorrent "trackers", which people use to find pirated media.
Earlier this week Sergei Zheleznyak, deputy speaker of the Russian Duma, warned pirates about the imminent change.
Mr Zheleznyak said the sites had until 1 May to enter into a "constructive dialogue" with the firms that hold the rights to the media being shared around.
Talking to Russian media, he said: "Our common goal is to ensure that all work is adequately rewarded and that the benefit from successful books, music and wonderful computer programs is enjoyed by those who created them, and not those who stole them."
Russia has also released figures that it says show that the action against pirated video has been successful.
Online sales of movies and TV shows have doubled since the law came into force.
The imminent arrival of the updated law has prompted some Russian sites to make changes to the way they work.
In early 2015, Russian social network VKontakte removed a feature from its app that let people stream music they had uploaded to the site.
The anti-piracy law is one of several different pieces of legislation enacted by Russia aimed at the internet.
In August last year, Russia imposed restrictions on popular bloggers telling those with more than 3,000 daily readers to register with regulators and to follow regulations that governed what they could say.
Human rights groups said the law was "draconian".
In September next year, a law comes into force that will require internet companies to site servers that gather data about Russians in the country.
Critics fear the data will be pored over by authorities to locate people who use social media to organise protests.
Sexual health experts recommend patients receive a powerful antibiotic, which can only be injected, but the BBC found seven UK-based websites offering only oral antibiotics.
Such treatment can lead to antibiotics becoming less effective, experts warn.
The websites, which include Superdrug, say they are providing a vital service.
Gonorrhoea is the second most common bacterial sexually transmitted infection (STI) in the UK.
Nearly 30,000 people were diagnosed in England in 2013. It can lead to serious health problems if not treated properly.
In 2011, the British Association for Sexual Health and HIV (BASHH) - which sets national guidelines for doctors treating gonorrhoea - said the use of antibiotic tablets alone was not the best treatment.
They recommend patients should receive a more powerful antibiotic which can only be injected alongside another antibiotic given as a pill.
Failure to do so could mean some patients get less effective treatment.
But a BBC investigation found seven UK-based websites offering only oral antibiotics, which is not in line with best practice treatment guidelines.
5 Live Investigates broadcasts Sundays from 11:00 GMT on BBC Radio 5 Live
Listen to the programme
The websites provide an online consultation, asking patients for a basic medical history and symptoms.
But some failed to advise patients to notify partners they have the disease, or to take a further test to see if the treatment works. They have now changed their advice after being contacted by the BBC.
Dr Jan Clarke, president of BASHH, said: "We are deeply concerned if, as it appears, oral antibiotics for gonorrhoea are being used as a standard treatment by online pharmacies.
"There is a risk to individual patients, and a real public health risk that the effectiveness of the limited range of antibiotics still available to us will deteriorate through this practice.
"From a patient perspective, in receiving oral antibiotics rather than an injection, they are receiving sub-optimal treatment and care."
The pharmaceutical chain Superdrug - which runs one of the websites - has now placed a clearer warning online that an injection is the best form of treatment.
The company says it saw a 66% increase in the number of people getting treatment for gonorrhoea online last year.
It does ask patients to notify sexual partners and offers a free test to see if the treatment has been successful.
Its spokesperson said: "Where a patient is unwilling to visit a sexual health clinic for an injection, we provide the oral antibiotic treatment. A practice commonly used by GPs."
Two other websites - HealthExpress and Doctor Matt - have now advised on their websites that patients should notify their sexual partners.
The Doctor Matt site also now makes it clear that an injection is the recommended best form of treatment.
Public health officials say they are concerned that if people are treated in a way contrary to best practice guidelines it could lead to the spread of antibiotic resistance by the disease.
A spokesperson for Public Health Wales said: "The intention of online gonorrhoea resources may be well-meaning, but potentially with a lack of realisation about the implications of resistance. Any increase in resistance is a public health concern.
"Should online sites be offering treatment which is not in line with BASHH guidelines, this would be a public health concern."
The chief medical officer for England, Dame Sally Davies, says patients with gonorrhoea should be treated by their GP or their local sexual health clinic, and should not order treatment online.
She explained: "There are concerns many websites aren't meeting national standards.
"All medical staff have also been reminded of their responsibilities to help halt the rise in antimicrobial resistance."

Matthew Baker, 28, was arrested at an address in Ilford, north-east London, on Wednesday night and is being held in police custody.
A 21-year-old woman and a man aged 33 were also arrested.
Baker was awaiting sentencing for attempted murder when he broke through cell bars at the north London prison with fellow inmate, James Whitlock, 31.
Police have renewed an appeal for information about Whitlock, who remains at large.
He had been on remand charged with conspiracy to steal from 19 cash machines across south-east England between last December and August.
He is described as of a slim build and has the name "Tracy" tattooed on his torso. Police advised the public not to approach him.
The man and woman arrested with Baker were taken to a police station in east London, where they remain in police custody, the Met said.
Baker was convicted on 4 October of the attempted murder of a man at a flat in Dagenham last year and was due to be sentenced on Friday.
He was found not guilty of making threats to kill against a woman who witnessed the attack.
It is understood he and Whitlock used diamond-edged cutting equipment to break cell bars before scaling the perimeter wall of Pentonville Prison.
In the days after his conviction, Baker warned his enemies they would "meet again one day", according to reports in the Sun newspaper.
The post on his Facebook profile read: "Let's get one thing straight to anyone who wants to say anythink behind my back.
"I know your names n where yous live n believe me we'll meet again one day n i dont forget nothinc just remember that yous know who yous are."
Baker and Whitlock's escape from G wing of the Victorian category B prison was discovered when officers carrying out checks found two pillows made to look like bodies in the prisoners' beds.
The leak of more than 22,000 pages exposes secrets about the combat capabilities of Scorpene-class vessels.
It is not clear who first obtained the confidential documents, which were made public by the Australian media.
Earlier this year DCNS won Australia's largest-ever defence contract to build a fleet of advanced submarines.
Details about the Shortfin Barracuda submarine class that will be built for Australia were not contained in the leak.
India signed a $3.5b (£2.6b, €3.1b) deal for six Scorpene vessels in 2005. They are being built in cooperation with an Indian government-owned shipbuilder in Mumbai.
India is investigating the leak to "find out what has happened," Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar said.
The Scorpene submarines are small-to-intermediate size vessels currently in use in Malaysia and Chile. Brazil is due to deploy the submarine type in 2018.
A DCNS spokeswoman described the leak as "a serious matter" and said French authorities would formally investigate.
"The matters in connection to India have no bearing on the Australian submarine programme, which operates under the Australian government's arrangements for the protection of sensitive data," a statement said.
DCNS beat out strong competition from Germany and Japan to secure Australia's A$50bn (€34bn; £27bn) contract to build its navy's next generation of submarines, a project that will stretch into the 2050s.
The Shortfin Barracuda submarines are to be built in Adelaide with the expectation of creating around 2,800 jobs in the region.
They will be 4,500-tonne conventionally powered submarines, closely related to the nuclear-powered Barracuda, which weighs 4,700 tonnes.
Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said the leak was a reminder of the importance of cyber security, but rejected concerns it would endanger the contract.
The country's defence industry minister, Christopher Pyne, said in a statement that the leak had "no bearing on the Australian government's future submarine programme".
London Mayor Boris Johnson authorised the Metropolitan Police to buy three second-hand water cannon from German police last year at a cost of £218,000.
But Theresa May said "without safeguards" water cannon had "the capacity to cause harm".
She said she was concerned about the risk of injury, as well as their impact on public perceptions of the police.
Water cannon are used in Northern Ireland, but have never been deployed in the rest of the UK.
They were deployed most recently in north Belfast on Monday against Loyalist demonstrators during the annual Twelfth of July celebrations.
Mrs May said the decision on whether to authorise water cannon was a "serious" one and a lengthy study had been carried out to assess their safety and effectiveness,
"Without safeguards they have the capacity to cause harm," she told the Commons.
She said she had decided against granting a licence for a number of reasons, including concerns about the risk of injury they posed to those struck by them.
She also said she "remained unconvinced" about "the operability" of the particular water cannon purchased by the Met, which she said were 25 years old.
Finally, she said she was concerned about the "potential impact of water cannon on public perceptions of police legitimacy".
Labour's shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper welcomed the decision.
But a source close to Mr Johnson told the BBC he was "disappointed".
He said the prime minister, the commissioner of the Met Police and the majority of Londoners supported the idea of having water cannon available.
According to the source, Mr Johnson said the police would continue to train on the three water cannon bought last year.
The original cost of the bailout was put at 17.5bn euros.
But the new total, disclosed in a document seen by news agencies, means Cyprus will have to find 13bn euros to secure 10bn euros from the European Union and the IMF.
Previously it was thought that Cyprus would have to raise 7.5bn euros.
Government spokesman Christos Stylianides said: "It's a fact the memorandum of November talked about 17.5bn (euros) in financing needs. And it has emerged this figure has become 23bn.
"Who is responsible for this? How did we get here? It was the fear of responsibility and indecision of the previous government," he added.
Analysts are now questioning if Cyprus can raise such a sum.
By Mark LowenBBC News
Eurozone officials patted themselves on the back last month as it seemed that Cyprus had been rescued. The bailout was approved: Cyprus would raise around 7bn euros itself, and its creditors would cough up about 10bn.
Then reality set in as a botched deal began to unravel. The recession will be far deeper, requiring greater government spending on benefits. And troubled banks might need further recapitalisation.
So Cyprus must dig deeper. That will crush large savers at the Bank of Cyprus, who face a potential loss of up to 60% to cover the shortfall.
But one government MP told me that a worse recession might require more austerity, which could then deepen the recession still, locking Cyprus into a vicious circle. And that may prompt a second bailout. Serious questions remain over this island's survival in the single currency.
The winding up of one Cypriot bank, Popular, and the writing-off of a large portion of secured debt and uninsured deposits in the largest bank, Bank of Cyprus, should raise a total of 10.6bn euros.
There have also been reports that Cyprus may sell a large portion of its gold reserves in order to raise another 400m euros.
"The sheer size of the increase has underlined the extent of the enormous challenges facing Cyprus itself,'' said Jonathan Loynes of Capital Economics in an analyst note.
The Cypriot economy is only worth about 18bn euros and accounts for less than 0.2% of the eurozone total. Several analysts now think the Cypriot economy may shrink by more than 10% this year alone.
"If everything goes according to plan, the growth figures might at least be in a realistic range, if too optimistic,'' said Christoph Weil of Germany's Commerzbank.
"If there are any problems, and there are significant downside risks, then it could be much worse, and a combined contraction of 20% is within the range of the possible."
Eurozone and EU finance ministers will meet in Dublin on Friday in a bid to finalise the Cyprus bailout. They will also consider extending debt repayment dates for Portugal and Ireland.
But the meeting comes amid fresh concerns about the economic impact of political deadlock in Italy, and speculation about whether Slovenia might need a bailout.
They included pictures of children as young as four being raped.
Police found the images on five different electronic devices in Colin Green's home in Magdala Terrace.
Green, 52, pleaded guilty at Edinburgh Sheriff Court to possessing the pictures and videos between 2010 and July last year.
The court heard that forensic computer experts recovered 56,165 indecent images of children.
More than 1,300 involved children aged between four and 15 years old being raped by men.
There were 84 videos depicting child abuse, with almost half of them showing young victims being raped.
Defence lawyer Ed Hulme told the court Green had an addiction to pornography.
He will be sentenced for the offence next month.

And the poll nearly, so very nearly resulted in a head of state from a right-wing populist party.
The rest of Europe watched and gawped.

TV debate turns to 'slugfest'
Could this be a portentous sign of things to come elsewhere in Europe - Italy, France or Denmark for example, where right-wing populists are gaining in strength and influence?
Was this Austria returning to its "far-right" past?
Joerg Haider, who led Austria's Freedom Party until 2005, was well-known for his Nazi-praising comments.
In the end, the prospect of a Freedom Party president disturbed (just) enough Austrians to induce them to vote for the Green-Party-backed Independent candidate.
But are the now-defeated presidential hopeful, Norbert Hofer, and his Freedom Party actually 'far right'?
Not even Austrians can agree, never mind the international media covering this story.
Former Austrian vice chancellor Hannes Androsch told me it was a nonsensical over-simplification - "far too black and white".
The Freedom Party has a far-right core that doesn't reflect the opinions of all its members, he told me, and, he insisted, is not at all representative of all its voters.
"They come to the Freedom Party out of protest. For a number of different reasons."
One large one is migration: Austria is struggling to integrate the tens of thousands of asylum seekers who moved here last year.
Officials say their country took in more refugees per capita than any other EU nation.
Public resentments have been heightened by rising unemployment.
"The Austrian boat is full," one Hofer voter told me. "We're a small country. We can't be like [German Chancellor Angela] Merkel, saying: 'Come in, come in!'
"We have our own poor, Austrian poor, who need help."
"Austria First" is the Freedom Party slogan. They describe themselves as a party of the centre, of the Austrian people, neither right nor left wing.
That's something Marine Le Pen of France likes to say about her National Front party too.
And like the French National Front, the Freedom Party has invested in a makeover in order to appeal to discontented mainstream voters.
Despite failing to make it to the presidential palace, it will interpret this vote as a huge success.
Once relegated to the far-right fringes, the Freedom Party is now deemed politically viable by half of all Austrian voters.
"This is far more a European problem than an Austrian problem, Austrian diplomat Wolfgang Petritsch told me. "These parties have managed to make it OK, normal to vote for them. It's not a big deal anymore. And that is what is so dangerous."
The Freedom Party is now looking ahead to Austria's general election.
It is currently polling as the country's most popular party.
Conceding defeat today, Mr Hofer said his party would live to fight another day.
"Of course I am saddened," he said on Facebook. "But please don't be disheartened. The effort in this election campaign is not wasted. It is an investment for the future."
But Hannes Androsch is dismissive.
"Yes, they've made it to the mainstream as a party of protest," he told me "But building up Austria to be a fairytale castle that needs to be defended is no plan for the future.
"This is a wake-up call for the traditional parties in Austria - and in Europe as a whole - to address their voters' concerns.
"But the window of opportunity to do this is a narrow one."
Mobile coverage measurement firm OpenSignal found smartphone users north of the border could only access 4G 50.4% of the time on average.
This placed it eighth out of 12 areas of the UK reviewed in its State of Mobile Networks.
London topped the table, with mobile users there able to access a 4G signal 69.7% of the time.
Scotland also sat eighth in the table for 4G download speeds, with average speeds of 21.1Mbps.
Northern Ireland was the best performing area in that category, with speeds of 23.3Mbps.
4G is the fourth generation of mobile phone technology and follows on from 2G and 3G.
2G technology was suitable for making calls and sending text messages while 3G makes it possible to access the internet more effectively through your mobile phone.
4G services are designed to make it much quicker to surf the web on mobile, tablets and laptops and access services which demand more capacity such as video streaming, mapping and social networking sites.

The report, produced in association with consumer group Which?, found mobile providers EE, O2 and Vodafone all provided similar connection levels to their network in Scotland - about 55%.
But Three customers north of the border could only access 4G on average 33.5% of the time, according to OpenSignal.
However, Three came second behind EE in 4G speed tests, with an average LTE (Long Term Evolution) speed of 24.5 Mbps. O2 and Vodafone were below 20 Mbps.
Three showed the fastest 3G download speed, with a measured average of 6.1 Mbps on its HSPA (High Speed Packet Access) networks.
EE, however, came top in the category with the fastest aggregate speed over operators' 3G and 4G networks.
A spokesman for Three said: "We are continuing to roll out our 4G SuperVoice service in Scotland which will improve voice and data coverage for Scottish consumers."
Alex Neil, from Which?, said: "This latest research confirms that Scotland is lagging behind London when it comes to getting 4G signal.
"It's clear mobile providers must do much more to improve their networks if they are to provide greater access to their customers."
The Scottish government agreed a plan with network providers in June to improve mobile coverage across Scotland and maximise investment in 4G technology.
At the time, Connectivity Secretary Fergus Ewing said: "We have set out an ambition for the availability of world class digital connectivity across the country, and we recognise that improved mobile connectivity is an integral part of delivering that ambition."
The 22-year-old had a loan spell with Burton Albion earlier this season, making six appearances in all competitions.
He could make his debut for the League One strugglers against bottom side Colchester on Good Friday.
Rovers are currently 21st in the third tier, having lost nine of their last 10 matches.
They marched through the streets wearing black as a sign of mourning for their reproductive rights.
Women who oppose the ban are staying away from work and school and refusing to do domestic chores, in a protest inspired by a women's strike in Iceland in 1975.
Anti-abortion protests are being held around the country too.
Women took to the streets of the capital city, Warsaw, in a pro-choice march on what they called "Black Monday".
They also protested in Gdansk, Lodz, Wroclaw, Krakow and elsewhere in the mostly Catholic nation.
Demonstrations were held in solidarity in other European cities, including Berlin, Brussels, Dusseldorf, Belfast, London and Paris.
Will Poland impose a total ban on abortion?
If the draft law - which has cleared one parliamentary hurdle so far - goes through it will make Poland's abortion laws as restrictive as those in two other countries in Europe: Malta and the Vatican.
Women found to have had abortions would be punished with a five-year prison term. Doctors found to have assisted in an abortion would also be liable for jail time.
The draft law came from an anti-abortion citizens' initiative that gathered some 450,000 signatures. It was initially backed by the Catholic Church, but bishops then said they could not support the proposal to jail women who had an abortion.
The strike didn't have a huge visible impact in the sense of affecting economic life in Poland. Even in large cities like Warsaw almost all shops were open and companies and offices went about their day-to-day business.
But then bringing the economy to a halt was never a realistic goal even though some companies, museums and restaurants did allow female staff to take a day off.
What was noticeable was the level of support for the protest. On the streets, trams and buses of Polish cities many women wore black in solidarity with the strike.
Thousands of people braved the rain to join a demonstration in Warsaw's historic old town. Some men helped out, cooking soup and serving sandwiches. The French actress Juliette Binoche tweeted her support for the protest during a visit to Krakow.
What's apparent is that the vast majority of Poles do not want a more restrictive abortion law. In a recent Ipsos opinion poll, only 11% favoured that option.
Almost half said the existing legislation should remain unchanged, while more than a third said abortion should be more widely available.
Abortion is already banned in most circumstances in Poland.
The current exceptions are:
Critics say the tightening of the law could mean women who have a miscarriage are also investigated, on suspicion of having had the pregnancy terminated deliberately. At early stages of pregnancy, miscarriages and abortions have indistinguishable symptoms.
One protester said: "We are saying 'enough is enough' over what is happening, to what the government, the Church and the so-called pro-life organisations are planning for women.
"They want to introduce an anti-abortion law which will mean in many cases, women will be sentenced to death. It will take away the sense of security they have, the treatment options available when pregnancy puts their lives or health in danger."
One gynaecologist warned that the law as it is worded now could effectively lead to doctors being unwilling to do invasive prenatal tests and lifesaving operations.
Prof Romuald Debski, who works at a hospital in Warsaw, told Polish media: "Whoever causes the death of the unborn child is punishable by imprisonment up to three years. If I have a patient with pre-eclampsia, who is 32 weeks pregnant, I will have to let her and her child die.
"I have to, because if I perform a caesarean section and the child dies, I may go to prison for three years, because the child was premature."
Pre-eclampsia is a potentially fatal condition that can develop in the second half of pregnancy and can only be cured by delivering the baby.
A separate bill seeks to curb in-vitro fertilisation (IVF), allowing only one embryo to be fertilised at any one time, and banning the practice of freezing embryos.
The Catholic Church is among those who support a total ban. The Polish Bishops' Conference asked Catholics to pray for "the conscience and the light of the Holy Spirit on all Poles who protect human life from conception to natural death".
The country's foreign minister was another high-profile critic of the protests.
Witold Waszczykowski told Associated Press: "We expect serious debate on questions of life, death and birth. We do not expect happenings, dressing in costumes and creating artificial problems."
While pro-choice activists marched in black and tweeted pictures of themselves wearing black, anti-abortion activists chose white for the colour of their counter-protests.
Aside from Malta and the Vatican, the only European countries with stricter laws than Poland has at present are:
Even by conservative estimates there are far more illegal abortions than legal ones in Poland - between 10,000 and 150,000, compared to about 1,000 or 2,000 legal terminations.
The 27-year-old former QPR and Hull man scored 25 goals in 48 appearances for League Two Orient last season.
"Both clubs are talking and it's in the hands of the financial directors at Orient and my chairman," said Brown.
"It's a case of watch this space. I'm hopeful that I'll improve the squad, not just in that area but in others."
Southend lost 3-1 to Gillingham in their first game of the season on on Saturday, having taken the lead early on through Stephen McLaughlin.
Brown told BBC Essex: "I think we're still probably three players short and I've been working hard to get players in.
"I had a meeting with the chairman on Sunday morning, which is not a typical one, but is down to the fact that the second-half performance was so alarmingly poor."
The 77-year-old was born and brought up in Aberdeen, but never played for his hometown team.
He moved away from Aberdeen at the age of 16 to play for Huddersfield and enjoyed a glittering career at Manchester United, Manchester City and Torino in Italy.
He scored 30 goals for Scotland.
The former Powis Academy pupil was also a European Footballer of the year.
Law scored 237 goals during his time at Manchester United.
He was one third of what became known as Manchester United's Holy Trinity, when he played alongside George Best and Sir Bobby Charlton during his 11-year stint with the Red Devils.
The player rounded off his career by representing Scotland at the 1974 World Cup in West Germany.
He collected a CBE last year.
His Freedom of Aberdeen honour is expected to be confirmed at a full meeting of the city council next week.
The motion to be considered by the council was placed by Lord Provost George Adam.
It reads: "That this council confer the Freedom of the City upon Denis Law CBE in recognition of his outstanding career as a world renowned footballer, his dedication to charitable endeavour, and his commitment to community sport in Aberdeen."
It has been signed by two thirds of the members of the council.
Other recipients have included Nelson Mandela, Mikhail Gorbachev, Sir Alex Ferguson, and the Scotland the What? comedy trio.

Whitehead won gold at the London and Rio Games to add to three consecutive 200m T42 world titles.
"The big retirement question has been put out there a lot," the 40-year-old told BBC Radio Nottingham.
"People ask me a lot whether I'm going to continue after this year. Those decisions have not been made yet."
But he continued: "The World Championships this year may be my last competition on the track.
"That's why I'm encouraging as many people as possible to come down to the Queen Elizabeth stadium, because there's going to be fireworks."
Whitehead, also a successful marathon runner, became a sprinter in order to compete at the London 2012 games.
The double amputee won his first gold medal in the T42 200m at his home games, before winning his second in the same event in Rio to go alongside a silver medal in the T42 100m.
The World Athletics Championships will take place at the Olympic Park in London between the 4-13 August.
Research from the Institute for Policy Studies found that in 2014, bonuses paid to Wall Street employees had been double the annual pay earned by all Americans who worked full-time at the federal minimum wage.
So, 167,800 Wall Street employees were paid $28.5bn (£18.2bn) in bonuses, while 1,007,000 full-time minimum wage earners made about $14bn.
One particularly eye-catching blog on the subject carried the headline: "If You Own a Pitchfork, You Will Grab It When You See This Chart".
I wondered if this statistic was also true in the UK.
The best proxy we have for the Wall Street bonus pool is the ONS figure for bonuses paid in the finance and insurance sector, the most recent figure for which was £14.4bn in the financial year 2013-14.
The Low Pay Commission says that excluding apprenticeships there were 1.3 million jobs in 2014 that paid the National Minimum Wage (NMW) of which 40% were full-time, so that's about 520,000 jobs.
Assuming everyone earned the highest level of minimum wage, the average level of the NMW for 2013-14 was £6.25.
If we assume that they worked 37.5 hours a week (that's the average number of full-time hours given in the Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings for 2014) and that they work 48 weeks a year, their total earnings come to £5.9bn, which is less than half the amount paid in bonuses by the finance and insurance sector - it's about 40%.
Before you go and buy a pitchfork, remember that there are differences between this figure and the US one. For example, the bonuses in the UK finance and insurance sector were shared between more than a million employees - considerably more than on Wall Street. There were people paid very high bonuses but also people paid much more modest ones. The average overall was £13,300, but I would expect that to mask quite a range.
But the other question is, what is this an indicator for and what would make it rise or fall?
So, for example, imagine that 100,000 people earning minimum wage suddenly received a pay rise of £1 an hour. They would no longer be earning minimum wage, so the total amount paid to workers on the minimum wage would fall considerably and as a result the amount paid out in bonuses would be a higher multiple of it. But it would be hard to argue that their pay rise had increased inequality.
Nonetheless, if you were outraged by the figure from the US then you will be just as outraged that the same appears to be true in the UK.
Bangladesh says it would be hardest hit because it is a downstream country to two major rivers that flow from India.
New Delhi is yet to respond to the neighbouring countries' reactions.
The multi-billion-dollar project was announced by the Indian government in 2002 but had since remained on paper.
Experts in Nepal say the country's unstable political situation could open the door for India to build dams and reservoirs in Nepalese territory for the inter-linking project - known as the ILR.
Hydrologists say as an upstream country, Nepal has ideal locations for the infrastructure required to make the mammoth Indian project happen.
Bhutan too has similar locations and some of its rivers are tributaries to the Brahmaputra, a major river system in the region included in India's river-linking project.
The project's basic idea is to take water from areas where authorities believe it is abundant and divert it to areas where there is less available for irrigation, power and human consumption.
Official Indian documents have stated that the country - with its population of 1.2 billion - is increasingly water-stressed.
But when the government tried to present the ILR as a possible solution, it became quite controversial as critics argued it would have huge environmental consequences.
They also said it was unfeasible on technical grounds and that not all the states through which the rivers flow might allow waters to be diverted.
Some Indian states already have long-running water sharing disputes.
Delivering the court's order earlier this month, the judges said the project had long been delayed, resulting in an increase in cost.
Some 10 years ago, the super-ambitious scheme was billed at $120bn and was estimated that it would take 16 years to complete.
The court has also appointed a committee to plan and implement the project in a "time-bound manner".
Even before any of that began, Bangladesh was already quite critical of the idea.
"We can never agree to it," Ramesh Chandra Sen, Bangladeshi water resources minister told the BBC.
"Our agriculture, economy and our lives depend on these rivers, and we cannot imagine their waters being diverted."
The Ganges and the Brahmaputra, Asia's major river systems that flow down to Bangladesh, are among the rivers India has planned to divert to its western and southern parts.
Ainun Nishat, a Bangladeshi water resource expert, was even more critical.
"India assumes that these rivers stop at its borders and that there will be no downstream impacts to Bangladesh if it did anything to those resources," he said.
"They (India) have always thought that the Brahmaputra has a surplus water but they don't seem to remember that there is a sovereign country called Bangladesh downstream which has a need for water."
Minister Sen said there had been no official communication with his government on the project from the Indian side.
Nepal's Energy Minister Posta Bahadur Bogati too said he had not received any official information.
Senior Nepali water expert Santa Bahadur Pun said there were concerns that politicians might not be able to secure a good deal for allowing India to build dams and reservoirs in Nepalese territory.
"That is because we hear our leaders talking only about the stereotype hydropower development whereas they should be focusing on making India pay for the downstream benefits it would be getting from its river-linking infrastructures in Nepal."
Such concerns also stem from the fact that some think Nepalese politicians are too preoccupied with the prolonged peace process that India mediated after a 10-year Maoist insurgency.
Bhutan says it has not been apprised of the project idea.
"While we recognise rivers as a trans-boundary issue, there has been no direct dialogue as far as building structures in Bhutan for the project (of India) is concerned," Bhutanese Minister for Agriculture and Forests Pema Gyamtsho told the BBC.
Media reports and academic papers apart, little has come out officially about the inter-river linking project.
In 2006, the Indian water resources minister at the time gave a brief response in the parliament when asked if there would be a white paper on the project.
"The ILR project is still at a conceptual stage only and all the far-reaching effects of the link projects can be analysed at the stage of preparation of detailed projects.
"As such, there is no need to release a white paper on the ILR at this stage."
Indian water resources ministry officials made no comment to the BBC's query how India took its neighbours' reactions to the recent supreme court's order to implement the river linking project.
Many of India's past water treaties and agreements with neighbouring countries Bangladesh, Nepal and Pakistan have been mired in disputes.
And now Delhi has had to worry about China's plans to divert its southern rivers to the north, analysts say.
The main concern has been proposed Chinese hydro-electric plants on Tibet's Yarlung-Tsampo river that becomes the Bramhaputra in India, although Beijing has said it does not intend to divert its waters.
A number of studies have shown South Asia as one of the flashpoints over water resources in the future, particularly in the wake of climate change and a burgeoning population.
A recent assessment by the US intelligence agencies has said beyond 2022, South Asia will be one of the regions in the world where "water would be used as a weapon of war or a tool of terrorism".
Gilles de Kerchove, the EU's counter-terrorism coordinator, says an increasing number of women make up the estimated 5,000 Europeans who've gone.
He argues that without the work done by the intelligence agencies and police the number of Europeans travelling to Syria could be as high as 10,000.
"More women [are going]," he says.
"That doesn't mean more women on the frontline fighting. But maybe going there with the whole family, or supporting in a more logistic capacity, the fighters."
Islamic State is a radical Islamist group that has seized large areas of territory in eastern Syria and across northern and western Iraq. It declared an Islamic state, or caliphate, last year.
Its brutal tactics include mass killings and abductions of members of religious and ethnic minorities, as well as the beheadings of soldiers and journalists.
"We have a caliphate, where Sharia law is implemented, and that might be attractive to some people," says Mr de Kerchove.
"It's not just a fight. It's the overall environment which some people may consider the right one [to live in]."
In a high-profile case in February, three schoolgirls from London became some of the latest teenagers to go to Syria.
Senior police officers previously stated that around 60 British women and girls have travelled to the conflict.
Newsbeat has seen widespread online evidence of jihadists encouraging women to join them in Syria.
"My dear sisters come and be amongst the Muhajirahs (female jihadists)," 17-year-old Zahra Halane from Manchester wrote online.
She travelled to Syria with her twin sister Salma last year. Both married IS fighters who have since been killed.
Zahra, who doesn't operate online under her real name, has used social networking sites to speak about her life under IS, promote its propaganda and give advice on how to act around family members before coming to Syria.
Newsbeat spoke to Zahra as an anonymous user.
She said:
We can't verify Zahra is communicating on the account, but believe it is her due to responses to specific questions.
We also can't verify whether these are her own personal messages. Young girls like Zahra have clearly been used by Islamic State to spread IS propaganda.
Zahra Halane has also asked women considering becoming jihadis to get in contact with her by using encrypted messaging apps, which intelligence services struggle to monitor.
"For my sisters!" she wrote, alongside her personal contact details.
Security services are particularly concerned about the increasing popularity of encryption apps.
Mr de Kerchove told Newsbeat that companies which provide sophisticated encryption software are going to come under pressure.
"It's a very tricky issue. We need to keep encryption possible but at the same time we have to allow the police to intercept communications between crooks, between criminals, between terrorists.
"I think there is a growing consensus that we have to discuss with the companies, ways to allow the police and security service, to get access to the content."
Speaking on the BBC Two documentary, Britain's Jihadi Brides, a former recruiter and radicaliser Yasmin Mulbocus warns of the huge dangers for girls who travel to Syria.
"Suppose your husband dies, you'll be forced to marry someone else. Where are the boundaries? Where is your protection? Where is the law?" she says.
"Where you give people power, they will abuse it and these people are human, they're not divine, they're human beings, so of course there will be power trip."
Britain's Jihadi Brides goes out at 21:00 BST on Wednesday night.

The move, which would follow a nine-year freeze, will be considered at its budget-setting meeting in February.
The local authority has estimated the increase would raise £1.5m towards funding its services.
The change would see payments for a band D property rise by £32.52 per year. Changes to council tax charges on second homes are also to be proposed.
Depute leader John Mitchell said: "The council anticipates a very challenging budget settlement and is proposing a 3% increase in council tax to offset the impact of funding reductions on the provision of services.
"By making this increase the council will raise an additional £1.5m a year, which is crucial to supporting our budget in these challenging times, especially as we expect a reduction in the funding we receive in the annual settlement from Holyrood."
The increase will be considered by the council on 9 February.
The council said that anticipated Scottish government changes to charges for more expensive properties would see costs rise further on band E to H properties.
The bird now joins just one other corvid - the New Caledonian crow - in this exclusive evolutionary niche.
Dr Christian Rutz from St Andrews University described his realisation that the bird might be an undiscovered tool user as a "eureka moment".
He and his team published their findings in the journal Nature.
"I've been studying New Caledonian crows for over 10 years now," Dr Rutz told BBC News. "There are more than 40 species of crows and ravens around the world and many of them are poorly studied.
"So I wondered if there were hitherto undiscovered tool users among them."
Previously, Dr Rutz and his colleagues have reported that New Caledonian crows have particular physical features - very straight bills and forward-facing eyes. The researchers suggested these might be tool-using adaptations.
They then searched the crow family for species with similar features, and Dr Rutz said he quickly realised that the "Hawaiian crow was the perfect candidate for further investigation".
Though it will now be something of a scientific celebrity, the Hawaiian crow has recently been rescued from the very brink of extinction.
Dr Rutz worked with colleagues at San Diego Zoo Global, who had brought the last remaining wild birds into captivity to start a breeding programme to save the species - those birds provided the scientist with a unique testing ground.
"We effectively tested the entire species," Dr Rutz told BBC News.
"At the time, there were 109 crows in captivity - we tested all of them, presenting them with a foraging task."

Sam Winnall came close for Barnsley in a quiet first half, but his close-range shot was scuffed wide.
Evans, who joined on loan from Manchester City hours earlier, fired a low strike across Nick Townsend in the second half to put Walsall ahead.
Former Barnsley man Milan Lalkovic scored from 15 yards to ensure the win which kept Walsall second in the table.
The Saddlers, who are unbeaten now in seven away league matches, remain two points behind league leaders Gillingham, while Barnsley slipped to 19th in the table.
Walsall manager Dean Smith told BBC WM:
"George Evans looked top notch. He is a really good footballer, someone we've been keeping tabs on for a while.
"We were outstanding in the second half. We played some really good football.
"It's a great away record and the players deserve it because they've been excellent. But, If I'm being really picky it could be six wins because we should have won at Peterborough."
He said this would give Scotland "meaningful powers" to grow the economy and close the public spending gap the new system would create.
Mr McColl, who runs Clyde Blowers Capital, backed a "yes" vote in the independence referendum.
But he says that issue has now been "settled".
He has reverted to supporting full fiscal autonomy for Scotland.
That would mean Holyrood taking charge of all Scotland's revenues and paying Westminster for shared services such as defence and foreign affairs.
However, Scottish Lib Dem leader Willie Rennie said fiscal autonomy would be unsustainable and insisted it was not a variation on his party's preference for home rule.
Speaking on BBC Scotland's Good Morning Scotland programme, he said: "It's an unstable form of devolution that would tip over into independence very, very quickly.
"It would involve an £800 tax bill for every single person in Scotland. I think that is unsustainable. If that's what the SNP stand for, go ahead and argue for it."
In a BBC interview, Mr McColl said there did not have to be another independence referendum.
"If you want to avoid something like that happening again, you really have to be a bit more open about what you're going to devolve," he said.
"There's an opportunity to do that just now and I think if you don't do it, then it's just going to be one of those things that hangs over us for a long time".
The businessman, who is also a member of the Scottish government's council of economic advisers, wants Holyrood to have much greater financial powers.
He thinks corporation tax and capital gains tax are essential, if Scotland is to promote a more entrepreneurial culture.
But, like the Scottish government, he would prefer full fiscal autonomy.
Critics argue that falling oil prices mean that would leave a multibillion-pound hole in Scotland's finances.
In his BBC interview, Mr McColl predicted oil prices would recover but conceded there would be financial challenges if the shift to fiscal autonomy happened suddenly.
"There would be a gap if you were allocating all these revenues. Yes, there would be," he said.
"There has to be a change over a period, though. And that's where you also have borrowing capacity.
"If you have the capacity to raise your own bonds - like a tartan bond or a Caledonian bond - that's to smooth over the downturns, when you raise government finance.
"And then when it's running well that's when you fix the roof and you tuck the money away - you don't waste it."
Mr McColl suggested that full fiscal autonomy could be phased in over the term of the next UK parliament, which ends in 2020.
He added: "It takes time to do the transition and you would have to have some sort of transition between the Barnett formula dropping off and the new way of working coming in."
The Barnett formula currently determines how much money the Scottish government receives to fund public services such as health and education.
A Scottish government spokesman said: "Scotland already more than pays its own way, with more revenue raised per head than the rest of the UK for every one of the last 34 years.
"Fiscal autonomy, with full economic and job-creating powers, would give Scotland the capacity and the resources to grow the economy even further, address inequalities and invest according to our own priorities."
A spokesman for the Scottish Labour Party said: "The SNP's plan for full fiscal autonomy would be a disaster for Scotland and mean extra cuts of £7.6bn - even more than those planned by George Osborne.
"Scotland can't afford full fiscal autonomy which would scrap Barnett and the block grant and replace it with plummeting oil revenues."
The Scottish Conservatives have tabled a debate on full fiscal autonomy in the Scottish Parliament today.
Conservative finance spokesman Gavin Brown said: "All the figures by independent experts show there will be a lot of pain over the next five years if we adopted full fiscal autonomy. We now have one of the Scottish government's own economic advisers effectively making the same point."
A motion proposed by Mr Brown at the Scottish parliament was backed by MSPs, but only after being substantially amended by Finance Secretary John Swinney.
Mr Swinney's wording recognised that Scotland requires the social and economic powers necessary to reflect the needs and preferences of the people of Scotland.
The original motion noted that a number of fiscal experts predict a weaker fiscal position for Scotland should full fiscal autonomy be achieved.
Only 800 breeding pairs of corn bunting, confined to parts of the eastern lowlands and the Western Isles, are believed to remain in Scotland.
An Aberdeenshire population declined from 134 pairs to only 12 over a 20-year period.
A study has found changes in crop management could be to blame.
The joint study by RSPB Scotland and Dr Adam Watson, who monitored the corn bunting population, reported that an increase in field size and decrease in weed abundance reduced the availability of safe nesting sites and food sources the species depends on.
Dr Watson said: "When I first studied this population in 1989 it was thriving, and I saw winter flocks hundreds strong.
"To me in 2012, the familiar farmlands seem silent and empty. It is tragic."
RSPB Scotland conservation scientist Allan Perkins said: "Intensive crop management and removal of field boundaries, resulting in fewer weeds and the insects they support, together with earlier harvesting of cereals and mowing of grass has had a detrimental effect on the corn bunting.
"This is a species that favours low-intensity farming and it is vital that such systems are preserved, or habitats replicated through agri-environment schemes."
Both are Spanish attacking midfielders and Jota, 23, has signed a three-year contract at Griffin Park.
Toral, 19, was with Barcelona before joining Arsenal in 2011.
"Jota is a very talented left-sided player. He is very highly regarded in Spain. He offers us real technical craft," said Bees boss Mark Warburton.
"It is exciting for Brentford to attract players of this stature. There was a lot of interest from clubs in La Liga and the Championship."
Jota played four times for Celta's first team and also had a loan spell at Real Madrid B.
He spent last season on loan with Eibar and scored 11 goals in 35 games as he helped them win promotion to La Liga.
The versatile Toral can play on either flank as well as in the centre of midfield.
Warburton said: "Jon has come through a couple of nasty injuries. It is great to see him fully fit and he can now start to show his undoubted potential."
Meanwhile, Bees forward Montell Moore, 18, has signed a new three-year contract.
Lee McClatchley, 29, who denied murdering Tony Swift, was ordered to serve a minimum of 26 years after a trial at Bristol Crown Court.
In sentencing, judge Mrs Justice Jefford said: "Mr Swift lost his life because you took a chance to increase your drug dealing for a few days."
The jury heard evidence indicating the victim was killed with a claw hammer.
Mr Swift, who lived in Mendip House, Cheltenham, suffered at least 10 cuts and fractures to his skull in the attack.
The court heard McClatchley, of Cromwell Road in the town, was a drug dealer who owed money to various people.
He had gone to Mr Swift's house on October 26, 2015 intending to steal his cannabis.
"You had bludgeoned him to death, hitting him over the head with a claw hammer or something similar, and leaving him lying in a pool of blood," Mrs Justice Jefford told McClatchley.
"This was a vicious attack to enable you to steal drugs and saw you taking advantage of Tony Swift's trusting nature."
McClatchley disposed of his bloodstained jeans and the murder weapon and within minutes of the killing had sent texts to around 20 of his customers offering the stolen drugs for sale.
He also settled debts with three people that afternoon.
Det Insp Richard Pegler of Gloucestershire Police, said McClatchley "had never explained what happened or shown any remorse" and tried to blame Mr Swift's son for the murder.
"It was not a pre-meditated attack but to hit somebody repeatedly with a claw hammer or something similar is extremely violent and aggressive.
"There's a sense of relief justice has been done for a good man who had supported many people and shown them a great deal of love over the years," he added.
The owners of a Golden Ticket travelled on three trains leaving Tweedbank, Galashiels and Stow, each carrying 160 passengers.
Many have special links to the line having campaigned for its return or been involved in the old Waverley line.
Others making the trip were nominated by the public or won competitions.
The 30 miles of new track between Tweedbank in the Borders and Edinburgh opens to the public on Sunday.
The Queen will also carry out an official opening ceremony on Wednesday.
The route is the longest new domestic railway to be constructed in Britain for more than 100 years.
It follows some of the route of the old Waverley Line which ran between Edinburgh and Carlisle.
That line was closed in 1969, leaving the Scottish Borders as a region without railway stations.
It will now have three stops - at Tweedbank, Galashiels and Stow - on the new route.
Theories of galaxy formation held that the Universe was still too chaotic a place to allow such a perfectly formed or "grand-design" spiral to form.
It should take far longer for gravity to bring matter into thin, neat discs.
But a team
reporting in Nature
says the galaxy BX442 got the gravitational "kick" it needed to form a spiral from a smaller "dwarf galaxy" orbiting it.
They first spotted BX442 as the one and only spiral-looking object in a survey of 300 galaxies carried out by the Hubble space telescope, when they were shocked to see what looked to be a spiral galaxy.
"What we've learned when we look at galaxies at that epoch is that they're very dynamically hot," explained lead author of the study David Law from the University of Toronto's Dunlap Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics.
"Even though we see some discs existing at that time, they're very thick and puffy, whereas the Milky Way has an... amount of random motion only about a tenth or so the amount of ordered rotation, giving rise to a very thin disc," he told BBC News.
To get a closer look at BX442, the team went on to use the
OH-Suppressing Infrared Integral Field Spectrograph
at the Keck observatory in Hawaii - which can subtract the effect of all the water that lies between the Earth and galaxies at such astronomical distances.
Those observations confirmed a hint apparent in the Hubble data: that BX442 was being orbited by a smaller "dwarf galaxy" at its edges.
"You can get a little extra help if you've got a satellite galaxy orbiting around," explained Dr Law.
"It gives that extra little gravitational kick to help accentuate the strength of the arm and make it into one of those eye-popping examples like the Whirlpool galaxy that you see all the pictures of."
Having proved that such grand-design spiral galaxies can exist at such an early age of the Universe, Dr Law said the team would now like to look into larger, wider-ranging galaxy surveys such as the Hubble telescope's ongoing
Candels survey

The image shows Craig in dark glasses on top of a mountain, during one of the movie's major action sequences.
Associate Producer, Gregg Wilson called the sequence "amazing", "spectacular" and a "jewel in the crown" of the film.
Fans have previously seen unofficial footage from the film shoot, after Craig was spotted travelling up the River Thames in a speedboat.
Sanctioned footage from behind the scenes of the Austrian set, shows the filming of a car chase in the snow, with Bond grabbing a man from behind and shooting another one.
It also reveals a large, glass building high up in the mountain, that could be the base for Spectre.
Production Designer Dennis Gassner said the film company had searched through many countries to find the unique, modern facility.
"I think that we are going to continue the history of the Bond films, making things that are exciting for the audience to look at," he said. "And what could be more exciting than to be on top of the world?"
The production manager admitted filming on the mountain was causing problems with altitude sickness and weather.
But for Guardians of the Galaxy star Dave Bautista, who plays Mr Hinx, the setting was "very surreal".
"It looks like a painting, especially for me," he said. "I'm from the inner city, it's my first time ever up a mountain."
Filming on the 24th official James Bond film started at Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire in December.
At the launch of the film, it was confirmed that Christoph Waltz will have a role in the film, playing a character called Oberhauser, which is the same name as Bond's former ski instructor.
However, it has been rumoured Waltz will really be playing Bond's old nemesis Ernst Stavro Blofeld.
The shady Spectre organisation featured in Ian Fleming's Bond books, and the Sean Connery-era films.
An international crime syndicate with Blofeld as its number one, it counted the metal-handed scientist Dr Julius No and eyepatch-wearing Emilio Largo amongst its villainous ranks.
Spectre will be released on 6 November, 2015.

Joe Schmidt's side face their first Test against South Africa on Sunday 12 November.
Six days later Fiji play at the Aviva Stadium for the first time, having last played Ireland at the RDS in 2009.
Argentina, who beat the Irish in the 2015 World Cup quarter-finals in Cardiff, are the opponents on Saturday, 25 November.
South Africa's last visit to Dublin was in November 2014 when Ireland were convincing 29-15 winners.
Ireland have won their three previous Test fixtures against Fiji, the most recent being by 41-6 eight years ago.
Argentina last played in Ireland in 2012 when Declan Kidney's hosts ran out 46-24 victors.
The LÉ William Butler Yeats took four hours to rescue the migrants off Tripoli, before providing food and medical treatment.
The rescued migrants were then transferred to the Italian Coast Guard.
It was the new vessel's first humanitarian search and rescue mission since being deployed on 14 July.
On the same day a government motion was passed in the Dáil (Irish parliament) to allow the Irish Defence Forces to join in on Operation Sophia in response to the EU's ongoing migrant crisis.
The multilateral EU navy operation was set up in 2015, aimed at targeting vessels to stop gangs from human trafficking, mainly through Libya.
Opposition politicians criticised the move, saying the the change of status had implications for Irish neutrality.
Irish operations in the area, under Operation Pontus, have been based on a bilateral arrangement with the Italian government, saving almost 16,000 migrants in the southern Mediterranean during the last two years.
Sunday's rescue was part of this operation, but the LÉ William Butler Yeats's commander said the crew was "totally prepared" if it needed to switch to the new operation mid-mission.
Taoiseach Leo Varadkar was forced to defend the change in Irish strategy, after Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) criticised Ireland's participation in the operation it describes as "military focused".
"People from as far away as Afghanistan and southern Africa are travelling to Libya where there are human traffickers making an absolute fortune," Mr Varadkar was quoted as saying by The Irish Times.
"So I think it is the right thing that we should disrupt that human trafficking, and also rescue refugees and migrants where they need that help."
The EU's Operation Sophia began in June 2015, but doubt has been cast on how effective it has been in disrupting people-smuggling across the Mediterranean.
More than 94,000 migrants have crossed the Mediterranean to Italy so far this year, according to the UN. But more than 2,370 people have died trying.
Cars flew in a preview of the latest Fast and the Furious instalment, while Zac Efron sported Stars and Stripes underpants in a brief Baywatch tease.
A zombie seagull appeared in a "spot" for the fifth Pirates of the Caribbean film, Dead Men Tell No Tales.
And Netflix revealed the next Stranger Things series will debut at Halloween.
There were also starry product adverts featuring Justins Bieber and Timberlake and Wonder Woman's Gal Gadot.
Here's a breakdown of some of the treats that TV viewers in the US and Canada saw.
Though not officially trailing a movie release, Netflix's promo for the second series of its 1980s sci-fi series is already generating blockbuster levels of excitement.
Beginning with footage from a vintage waffle commercial, the teaser features the show's juvenile heroes dressed as Ghostbusters and a brief glimpse of a giant spider creature.
The adverts ends with a giant "2" appearing over the Stranger Things logo, followed by the single word "Halloween".
"I am STUPID excited about Stranger Things going Full Lovecraft," wrote one excited Twitter user.
A submarine, a tank and a giant wrecking ball add up to a whole lot of mayhem in the promo for the eighth Fast and the Furious film.
The "big game spot" also sees cars tumble out of buildings, plunge underwater and race through New York's Times Square.
Charlize Theron, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and Britain's Jason Statham all feature in a promo that promises "the rules have changed" this time around.
Not so much, though, to preclude a leering shot of young ladies' gyrating bottoms.
Fleetwood Mac's The Chain provides a propulsive backdrop to the trailer for the latest offering from the Marvel Studios.
It begins with a new character - played by The Night Manager's Elizabeth Debicki - asking: "Just who in the hell do you think you are?"
The promo then sets about re-introducing Chris Pratt's Star Lord, Zoe Saldana's Gamora and the rest of the film's band of unconventional superheroes.
Just in case we don't get the message, Bradley Cooper's Rocket Racoon rams it home by announcing: "Welcome to the frickin' Guardians of the Galaxy!"
The late Johnny Cash is the unseen star here, growling his posthumous version of Ain't No Grave (Can Hold My Body Down).
It's a fitting accompaniment to a trailer that features zombie sailors walking on water, zombie sharks marauding beneath it and the aforementioned undead seagull.
Johnny Depp - caked in mud and carrying a bottle of rum - makes a relatively late appearance as Captain Jack Sparrow.
Confusingly, the fifth instalment in the series will be released on these shores as Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar's Revenge.
You wouldn't normally expect a trailer for a Transformers film to begin with Sir Anthony Hopkins musing on the giant robots' origins.
"You want to know, don't you? Why they keep coming here - to Earth," his sepulchral tones intone, accompanied by a ghostly chorister.
It's not long, though, before things default to more traditional scenes of helicopters exploding, automatons duelling and Mark Wahlberg firing a rocket launcher.
According to director Michael Bay: "There's never been a Transformers film with the huge visual scope and expansive mythology as this movie."
"While you're watching the game, they are watching the bay!" growls the voiceover to the promo to the spin-off to the TV series.
The self-referential tone continues with a character looking at an approaching blonde woman and wondering: "Why does she always look like she's running in slo-mo?"
But the biggest gag is saved to the end when Zac Efron rips off some tracksuit bottoms, revealing a pair of briefs adored with the American flag.
"What are you wearing?" asks Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson - yes, him again - to which Efron responds: "Freedom!"

A familiar and respected voice around the world, the Barbadian will be remembered for a career in TV, radio and journalism spanning 58 years.
Born in Bridgetown in 1940, he made his BBC Test Match Special debut in 1966 and also wrote several books.
"Tony was the master of going between TV and radio ball-by-ball commentary. He was the master of both," said BBC cricket correspondent Jonathan Agnew.
"He's easily the best I've come across in 25 years at being able to do both disciplines."
Barbara Slater, director of BBC Sport, said: "Tony will be remembered with fondness by everyone at the BBC.
"Since his Test Match Special debut 50 years ago this summer, Tony has been a very popular commentator on the programme during matches against West Indies and throughout many major tournaments.
"His voice was one of the most recognisable in the game and he will be sadly missed. We pass our condolences to his family and friends."
The son of a journalist, Cozier studied journalism at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada, and began commentating and writing on West Indian cricket in 1958.
He played hockey as a goalkeeper for Barbados and cricket as an opening batsman and wicketkeeper for two Barbados clubs, Wanderers and Carlton.
But he became a household name through his work with major media organisations throughout the world, including the BBC, Channel Nine and Sky.
In December 2011, he was awarded honorary life membership of the Marylebone Cricket Club for services to the game, and the media centre at the Kensington Oval in Barbados is named after him.
Test Match Special commentator Jonathan Agnew
"Tony Cozier was one of the finest writers and broadcasters in the game. He started reporting in 1958 and seven years later he hit the airwaves for the first time.
"Fifty years on, he was still commentating on Test Match Special when England toured the West Indies.
"Throughout his career Cozier had to tread the tense tightrope of Caribbean politics, where even the slightest negative observation of a player's performance can provoke a furious nationalistic backlash.
"He withstood this stoically and determinedly, remaining a strong critic of the West Indies Cricket Board's lack of organisation and outlook.
"Tony moved seamlessly between television and radio boxes throughout the world, gleefully describing the West Indies' domination of the 1980s and then lamenting their subsequent demise.
"He was a wonderfully descriptive and disciplined commentator, his melodic Bajan accent the perfect soundtrack to any cricket match."
Former West Indies fast bowler Michael Holding told BBC Sport: "I spent a lot of hours with Tony Cozier. He enjoyed life, he worshipped cricket and worshipped West Indies cricket. And he would take on people who tried to criticise West Indies cricket unfairly."
LISTEN: Michael Holding and Jonathan Agnew pay tribute on BBC Radio 5 live
Ex-Windies paceman Tino Best told BBC Sport: "He was a figure that I really respected. People will be saddened, especially in Barbados and at the Wanderers cricket club because he was very influential there.
"We grew up with Tony. He was an outspoken person. If he saw you weren't playing well, he would speak about it. That's what I respected about him. He was a person that never sugar-coated things.
"Selectors did listen to him - he did get some of the guys dropped. It was never a problem with me, because he spoke the truth. He was a bit harsh at times, but honest."
Test Match Special producer Adam Mountford
"He had a voice which instantly transported you from wherever you were in the world to the sun-drenched beaches of Barbados.
"Tony, or Winston Anthony Lloyd Cozier to give him his full name, was cricketing commentary royalty. It was a privilege to share a commentary box with him.
"He appeared on Test Match Special for the first time 50 years ago this summer at Headingley, the ground where the 2016 international season begins next week.
"In the 50 years since that summer, Tony became one of our most popular overseas commentators on Test Match Special, possessing one of the most recognisable voices in all broadcasting.
"He actually played a part in one of the most iconic moments in TMS history, even though he didn't actually say a word.
"During the infamous 'leg over' incident which caused such hilarity between Jonathan Agnew and Brian Johnston, Tony was actually in the corner of the commentary box.
"He could have stepped in at any moment to intervene, but instead chose to watch on and allowed one of our most magical moments to play out."
Police investigators said the cause of death appeared to be suicide.
The 69-year-old was due to be questioned on Friday in an inquiry into a possible slush fund and financial irregularities in the company.
Lotte has joint headquarters in Japan and South Korea, and owns businesses from hotels to chemical manufacturing.
According to local media, investigators found a four-page suicide note in his car.
Mr Lee was one of the most senior executives in the Lotte Group, holding the highest position outside the founding family that still runs the firm.
He was also the closest aide to chairman Shin Dong-bin, who is embroiled in a family feud with his older brother over control of the company founded by their father.
In a statement, Lotte Group said: "He (Lee) oversaw Lotte Group's overall housekeeping and core businesses and accurately understood the minds of Chairman-in-Chief Shin Kyuk-ho and Chairman Shin Dong-bin."
In June, prosecutors reportedly raided Lotte offices to investigate the suspected slush fund and allegations of breaches of trust regarding transactions between the conglomerate's companies.
About 200 officials searched Lotte's headquarters in Seoul, several subdivisions of the firm and the homes of key executives, local media said at the time.
It is not clear where this death leaves the investigation.
Lotte Group is involved a variety of sectors including hotels, chemicals, food and retail.
It is Korea's fifth-largest conglomerate and is considered one of Korea's family-run "chaebols" which are known to have complex ownership structures.
Lotte, like other big South Korean companies, is owned and controlled primarily by one family.
But the vice-chairman, Lee In-won, - now deceased - was a trusted outsider who had worked for the company for four decades.
Before Mr Lee's death, South Korean prosecutors were investigating the source of hundreds of millions of dollars in family accounts.
Lotte, like other giant South Korean conglomerates is a maze of companies, with exact ownership unclear. The allegation was that money moved invisibly - and illegally - between the 60 subsidiaries, and from company accounts to personal accounts of family members.
The dead man was a loyal servant of the family and the company, privy to its secrets. South Korean media said he left a suicide note saying the chairman for whom he worked was innocent of wrong-doing.
South Korea has the highest rate of suicide among the industrialised OECD countries.
On the latest figures, the country had 29 suicides for every 100,000 people, compared with 22 per 100,000 in Hungary (the next worst) and 19 in Japan.
The reason isn't clear. Part of it may be the ancient weight put on personal shame in the culture. But some also blame the high pressure to succeed.
A statement from football's world governing body said: "The Benin Football Association (FBF) was suspended with immediate effect due to a recent injunction by a local judicial court which impeded the holding of the due election."
It means Benin are set to miss June's 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Equatorial Guinea.
The decision was made at the inaugural meeting of the Fifa Council, which has replaced the Executive Committee, meeting, which is being held in Mexico.
A court ruling in Benin on 4 May prevented the FBF from holding presidential elections and the suspension will be lifted only once a new Executive Committee has been installed.
The FBF has been overseen by a Fifa-appointed normalisation committee since September 2015 and they had been tasked to organise elections.
Benin are currently second in Group C, two points behind group leaders Mali.
The Squirrels are due to host Equatorial Guinea on the weekend of 3-5 June and then travel to face Mali in September.
Only the group winners guaranteed a place at the 2017 finals in Gabon but Benin are currently the best of the second-placed teams and could qualify as one of the two best runners-up.
The Fifa Council meeting also ratified a recent decision of the bureau of the Council to appoint a normalisation committee to run the daily affairs of the Guinea Football Federation.
Andrew Moran, 34, from Salford, was rearrested in a raid on a luxury villa on Spain's Costa Blanca in 2013.
Moran leapt from the dock and assaulted four security guards at Burnley Crown Court in February 2009.
Moran, described as having a "premier league criminal lifestyle" was given an indeterminate sentence and jailed for public protection.
Judge Norman Wright, sitting at Liverpool Crown Court, said Moran posed a real danger to the public and will only be released when the parole board consider him safe.
Describing him as "ruthless, deceiving and cunning", he imposed a minimum tariff of eight years and 236 days.
"I have come to the conclusion that you are dangerous," the judge told Moran.
He had previously been sentenced for threatening Royal Mail guards with a gun, machete and baseball bat in Colne, Lancashire, in May 2005.
Moran went on the run after escaping from court and travelled to Paris, Monaco, Thailand and Italy before settling in Spain.
The judge said the raid in Colne was carried out with "military precision and discipline".
He added that 11 years after the robbery, the ferocity of the attack still lives with injured security guard James Hodkinson.
Eve Muirhead's rink had lost their previous two games, including by 10-4 drubbing by Japan, and lost 9-4 to the tournament hosts.
The Scots, winners in 2002 and 2013, finished the round robin stage fifth with seven wins from 11.
Defending champions Switzerland topped the standings and are joined in the play-offs by Japan, Russia and Canada.
The winner of Switzerland v Japan will progress to the final, while the loser will go into the semi-final to play the winner of Russia v Canada.
The FBI and the Department of Homeland Security said they had "found no evidence of a cyber intrusion".
The Illinois Statewide Terrorism and Intelligence Center (STIC) previously claimed a hacker with a Russian IP address caused a pump to burn out.
A security expert, who flagged up the story, said he was concerned about the conflicting claims.
Information about the alleged 8 November breach was revealed on Joe Weiss's Control Global blog last week. His article was based on a formal disclosure announcement by the Illinois STIC.
The report said that the public water district's Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition System (Scada) had been hacked as early as September.
It claimed that a pump used to pipe water to thousands of homes was damaged after being repeatedly powered on and off.
It added that the IP address of the attackers had been traced back to Russia.
The news attracted attention because it could have been the first confirmed case of foreign hackers successfully damaging a US utilities.
The FBI and the DHS said they had carried out "detailed analysis" and could not confirm the intrusion.
"There is no evidence to support claims made in the initial Fusion Center report - which was based on raw, unconfirmed data and subsequently leaked to the media - that any credentials were stolen, or that the vendor was involved in any malicious activity that led to a pump failure at the water plant," an email sent to the US Industrial Control Systems Joint Working Group said.
"In addition, DHS and FBI have concluded that there was no malicious or unauthorised traffic from Russia or any foreign entities, as previously reported."
The officials added that their analysis of the incident was still ongoing.
Mr Weiss said he was concerned that the email appeared to contradict the initial report.
"This begs the question why two government agencies disagree over whether a cyber event that damaged equipment had occurred at a water utility," he wrote on his blog.
"If the STIC report is correct, then we have wasted precious time and allowed many others in the infrastructure to remain potentially vulnerable while we wait to find out if we should do anything."
Mr Weiss also notes that a 2010 report by the security company McAfee highlighted the relative vulnerability of the global water system compared with other industries including energy and financial services.
"The water/sewage sector... had the lowest adoption rate for security measures protecting their Scada/ICS systems," it said.
The report noted that the low adoption rate might have been linked to the fact that the water and sewage sector, and said that only 55% of its Scada systems were connected to the internet - a lower percentage than most other industries.
However, it went on to highlight the lower number of managers taking responsibility for the issue.
"When considering this data, the small number of water sector executives amongst those with Scada/ICS systems responsibilities - only 11 out of 143 - needs to be noted," said the McAfee report.
It said the component could also work with wet fingers or underwater and could be used to measure heart rates.
The development paves the way for Android device-makers to be able to achieve sleeker designs.
However, one expert said Apple could still beat Qualcomm to market with a rival screen-integrated sensor of its own.
Fingerprint sensors are used to unlock devices without having to type in a code, to authenticate payments and to provide other identity checks.
Until now, they have typically taken up room beneath the touchscreen or been placed on the rear of a device.
Qualcomm unveiled its innovation at Mobile World Congress Shanghai. Its sensor works by emitting ultrasonic soundwaves, which bounce back on to the sensor with different reflection strengths depending on whether they hit the finger's ridges or valleys.
An earlier version of the tech was used by Xiaomi to embed a fingerprint sensor under a glass bezel at the base of its Mi5 smartphone.
But it partnered with Vivo, another Chinese handset-maker, to show off a prototype handset featuring the new part at the Shanghai expo.
The tech blog Engadget said the demo unit worked but was noticeably slower to carry out scans than existing sensors.
There are also other caveats:
Samsung had been rumoured to be working on a similar feature of its own for the Galaxy S8 phone but ultimately the device launched without it.
"It would have been the logical thing for Samsung because it wanted the biggest screen and smallest bezels possible," commented Ben Wood from the tech consultancy CCS Insight.
"But ultimately it was obliged to move the fingerprint sensor to the back of the phone, which drew criticism because it ended up being close to the camera."
Apple, the world's number two handset-maker, is currently engaged in a high-profile legal fight with Qualcomm over royalty payments, so is unlikely to be a customer.
Moreover, the company has published several patents indicating it is working on an under-screen fingerprint sensor of its own.
It is unclear, however, whether the tech will be ready for the next-generation iPhone, due to be unveiled later in the year.
"Apple has the purchasing power to have huge influence over the supply chain, so if its technology is ready, it has the best shot of being the company that implements this first," added Mr Wood.
"But producing big displays with limited bezels is already a technical challenge, and integrating a sensor below the glass more so.
"And Apple can ill afford to deliver a less-than-perfect solution."
Perth resident Kim Tucci, 26, took just two minutes to give birth to her four daughters and one son, who were conceived naturally.
A team of 50 doctors and nurses assisted with the planned caesarean and all of the children were born healthy.
The chance of conceiving quintuplets naturally is about one in 55 million.
Mrs Tucci's story gained prominence through her Facebook page, Surprised by Five, where she recorded the details of her pregnancy.
Local business Erin Elizabeth Photography, which helped document Mrs Tucci's pregnancy, organised the quintuplets' photo shoot.
"50 fingers 50 toes, 6 hearts beating at once. My body fought the toughest of battles to get five babies here safely," Mrs Tucci, 26, wrote when she posted the photos.
"Everything I did I did for them."
In an interview with Australian current affairs program 60 Minutes in April, Mrs Tucci said she felt like her body was "shutting down" during the pregnancy.
She said that doctors originally offered her the choice of saving two of the babies while terminating the others, due to serious health risks to both her and the unborn children.
"No-one thought I could do it, and I did, I showed everyone in my life," Mrs Tucci told 60 Minutes.
Mrs Tucci and her husband Vaughn already have a nine-year-old son and daughters aged two and four.
The Tuccis are attempting to raise money for a van that is big enough to fit their entire family.
The first match is in Liverpool, with the remaining two fixtures in London on 22 and 24 January.
The world number one side won their 11th title at last year's World Cup in Sydney, where England finished third.
"If we are going to beat them, we have to offend them, we have to go hard on them," said 21-year-old Housby.
"It will be a massive challenge.
"They have just come off the back of a very successful World Cup, but key for us is to not be scared to play."
Australia, looking to avenge a 3-0 series defeat by England in 2013, will be without a number of key players, including captain Laura Geitz, and have instead included a number of promising prospects in their squad.
It will also be a different England side from the one that featured at the World Cup, with Joanne Harten, Serena Guthrie and Geva Mentor rested, while experienced duo Pamela Cookey and Tamsin Greenway retired last year.
It means Manchester Thunder's Housby, who has been part of the England set up since 2014, will be one of the most experienced players in the squad, despite her age.
"It is strange to be branded an experienced person," added Housby.
"I have only played against Australia for half a match before, but hopefully I can use the bit of experience I have to help the other players. It is also a chance for me to step up and still improve my game.
"There are some young talents coming up that have great prospects. People like Jodie Gibson, who has not had an international cap yet - she is one for the future and is such a powerhouse.
"Even though we are not the most experienced team and they are not the most experienced team, any Australian team that takes to the court, you know they are going to be competitive and driven to win - so we will have to match that."
The series represents the first major test for Tracey Neville since she was appointed permanent England head coach in September last year.
Neville, sister of former Manchester United footballers Gary and Phil, was interim coach of the national team when she guided them to a bronze medal at the World Cup.
On the day of England's opening game at that tournament, her father Neville Neville died.
"It was a difficult time and the way she handled herself was impeccable," said Housby.
"She was such a rock for the England team, she made sure she got through the World Cup and dealt with it all afterwards, which we all respected her for, and I think the whole world respected her for it.
"It was hard but I think she is such a strong person, her personality is incredible and infectious. We are working hard for her and hopefully we can deliver."
Neville led Manchester Thunder to the domestic Superleague title in 2014 but she was replaced by 31-year-old Australian Dan Ryan when she left to take charge of England.
Ryan, who plays goal attack for the Australia men's team, is the only male coach in the Superleague, and Housby added: "He brings a different dynamic [to Tracey Neville] but that is to be expected.
"He has come over from Australia with a completely different set of coaching values. I do enjoy change and do enjoy being shaken up a little bit. He is a fantastic coach and is especially good with shooters, so that works well for me.
"He has been brilliant so far. Dan has big ambitions, not just for the team but for me, too. I want to make my stamp on the Superleague and on the international scene as well."
Housby, like most of her England colleagues, is semi-professional and is combining her netball commitments with completing a degree in zoology at Manchester University.
"I have always liked animals and I think it is good to have something that is completely unrelated to netball. I think it provides a good life balance," she added.
"I have thought about going into veterinary science but I am keeping my options open. I am enjoying doing what I am at the moment.
"It can be hard but my university professors are really good. One of my head tutors is a netball fan, so on my first day I went to her office and had a big discussion - mostly about netball."
Staffordshire bull terrier Ziggy was found in remote woodland near Wansford in Peterborough on 22 October.
After a delicate operation to remove the bolt, he was taken to the RSPCA's Block Fen to recuperate.
New owner Dominic O'Hare, from Watford, said he knew immediately Ziggy was "the dog for us... he's just a big softie".
Ziggy, who is about two years old, was found in woods with a 50cm (20ins) carbon fibre bolt embedded from one side of his head to the other, narrowly missing his vital organs.
Despite having been left that way for several days, RSPCA inspector Justin Stubbs, who rescued him, said Ziggy was still wagging his tail and was "remarkably friendly".
He helped a vet remove the bolt, after which Ziggy began to make "a miraculous recovery" at the Cambridgeshire re-homing centre.
Hertfordshire couple Mr O'Hare and his girlfriend Anna Burton-Wood first heard of Ziggy's ordeal via Twitter.
He said they both had "the same immediate impulse - that we wanted to adopt him".
However, the couple were told 60 other people also wanted to look after Ziggy.
Persistence paid off for Mr O'Hare and after weeks of calling the centre, Ziggy finally arrived at his new home just in time for Christmas.
"It is hard to say what it was exactly in his story which made me know he was the dog for us, but I think what got me the most was the way he just went up to those people in the woods with a wagging tail.
"Despite what had been done to him he was so open, so trusting," he said.
Mr Stubbs said he and the RSPCA were delighted Ziggy had finally "found people who can love him for the special dog he is".
"I have seen some things in my job, but this case will always stand out for me. It just bewildered me how someone could aim and fire at a dog at such callous close range," he said.
"It then just amazed me how Ziggy stayed so trusting and affectionate regardless of the ordeal. I will never forget him sitting there, wagging his tail at me, with a crossbow through his head.
"This is why we do the job we do - to see happy endings like this. It makes it all worthwhile."
Would all the actors from that film be taking part? Would the film's soundtrack be as memorable?
And - most daunting of all - would it be as good as the original?
Two hours later, we had our answers.
Yes, the actors are all present and correct, recreating their iconic characters with an intensity and gusto that is often thrilling to watch.
(Witness the moment when Robert Carlyle's psychotic Begbie - still smarting over the £4,000 Ewan McGregor's Mark Renton stole from him 20 years ago - runs into him unexpectedly in a toilet, or another scene where McGregor bitterly re-drafts his famous "Choose Life" speech.)
Yes, the soundtrack is fantastic, artfully weaving throwbacks to the first film (Lust For Life, Born Slippy) with punchy new tracks from Mercury Prize winners Young Fathers.
Overall, though, is it as good as the original? The answer is no - but it comes pretty darn close.
Boyle's masterstroke is to tackle the passing of time head-on. Where the characters in the original film were blissfully insouciant about their self-destructive hedonism, they are here all too aware of the cul-de-sacs and dead ends at which they've now arrived.
They are, to quote T2's most striking line, "tourists in their own youth": a description that applies just as much to the audience member who goes to the film hoping to have the same giddy high they experienced two decades ago.
What we get instead is something altogether richer and more poignant: a love letter to the boundless promise of youth, tinged with the regret of mistakes made and decisions untaken.
The mix of old and new extends to the film's depiction of Edinburgh, a fast-moving blur of sleek trams and posh shops that is a world removed from the shabby, heroin-ravaged dystopia we saw in the original.
Trainspotting arrived at a brief moment in British politics and culture that was infused with energy and optimism. Its follow-up reflects the Britain of today: a divided nation plagued by uncertainty.
It's not a complete downer though, scenes involving bodily fluids, casual violence and incompetent housebreaking providing uproariously funny punctuation to the generally melancholy mood.
T2 Trainspotting won't leave you floating on air. But it will leave you with a smile on your face, a tear in your eye, and a trickle of its predecessor's old adrenaline coursing through your veins.

Reuben Reid put Plymouth into a first-half lead after latching on to Graham Carey's through ball.
Crawley thought they had earned a point after substitute Roarie Deacon bundled in four minutes from time.
Midfielder Boateng, on loan from Crystal Palace, swooped on a rebound after Freddie Woodman failed to hold Carey's thundering 25-yard free-kick.
Plymouth moved two points clear at the top of the table as previous leaders Wycombe were beaten at home by Northampton.
Crawley boss Mark Yates told BBC Surrey:

"I think it would have been a classic away performance had we got the point that I thought we deserved, which I think our second half deserved.
"Plymouth are a good side because they are settled and they were better than us in the first half but in the second we showed greater conviction.
"There are signs that I am liking and there still things we need improving and we will be doing everything to put that right.
"We've got one or two bumps from today and we will have to pick ourselves up. We have to get in the habit of doing things right."
Mickey Summers said he was raped as a child and has protested at meetings, claiming there has been a cover up.
Nottingham City Council has imposed an interim anti-social behaviour injunction and is taking him to court.
The authority said it will continue to help police investigate his case but his behaviour was unacceptable.
The injunction bans him from visiting all "non-residential" council premises or approaching staff and from posting "any material involving anyone from Nottingham City Council, its staff, councillors, employees or agents" on the internet.
Mr Summers, who has been at the centre of a campaign to uncover child abuse in Nottinghamshire, said: "I will not be silenced. This is a response to what happened to me as a child. How would they feel if this was their child?"
He added that he was prepared to breach the injunction and go to jail if it meant uncovering the truth.
The city council's director of children and families, Alison Michalska said they had gone to "exceptional lengths" to work with Mr Summers.
But she said his behaviour towards some members of staff - including picketing outside an official's home - was unacceptable.
Last year council officers warned they would take action but Ms Michalska said there was no improvement and so "regrettably" court proceedings had to be started.
In a statement, she added: "We remain absolutely committed to supporting and helping Mr Summers and others who are seeking answers and justice for abuse they allege they suffered in children's homes many years ago and will continue to be fully involved in supporting the police investigation."
Nottinghamshire Police currently has two investigations - Operations Daybreak and Xeres - into allegations of historic child abuse at care homes across the county.
Five years ago Havant Academy was, quite literally, a different school.
Then called Staunton Community Sports College, only one school in England had worse exam results.
In 2010 just 10% of pupils achieved the target measure of five GCSEs including English and Maths at grade A* to C.
The threat of closure loomed large, but a successful campaign by parents in Leigh Park, Hampshire, saved the struggling school, and in September 2010 it became an academy.
It was renamed and refreshed with a multi-million pound refurbishment, and the transformation has been more than just cosmetic.
Last summer 50% of students got five good GCSEs - an increase of 40% in just four years.
The principal admits it has not been easy, and the challenge is far from over.
Helen Cassady joined Havant Academy in July 2013 after what Ofsted called a "turbulent" period of leadership.
A new academy sponsor, the Kemnal Academies Trust (TKAT), had taken over the year before.
Three days into what was her first headship, inspectors arrived and put the school into special measures.
Ofsted said teaching and pupil achievement were inadequate, the curriculum did not offer enough variety and pupils' behaviour was poor.
Faced with a daunting task, Miss Cassady says she started with "the basics", instilling good behaviour and creating a "culture of learning".
"We have really focused on the quality of teaching and learning," she said.
"We have quality personal development for staff on a weekly basis.
"We have behaviour systems focusing on positive behaviour, but also focusing on sanctions and accountability.
"We have a reward system with lots of incentives so students are praised for positive behaviour, but also for their progress in lessons and their contribution."
The school's population has higher-than-average levels of deprivation and special educational needs.
One of Miss Cassady's aims has been to encourage aspiration and raise expectations of its pupils.
In order to foster pride in their school, she allowed the students to design a smart new uniform and, in what Ofsted called a "bold" move, introduced sweeping changes to the curriculum so it suited students' aims.
While many would argue over whether academy status helps or hinders schools, Miss Cassady says the freedom of being an academy and the support she has received from the sponsor has made her job easier.
"TKAT have been very good at putting in support where it was needed, but they've also given ownership and power to the principal and the governors," she said.
"There's accountability, but also support. There's high quality professional development, high quality back room support in terms of finances and those aspects, and there's practical school support."
Last year, TKAT, one of the largest multi-academy trusts in the south of England, was criticised by Ofsted for having too many low-performing schools.
Havant Academy is still in special measures, but in its last monitoring report, Ofsted said the school was making progress.
Teaching standards were still variable but had improved, and while progress was still needed in maths, standards in English had leapt ahead.
Overall, inspectors said "effective leadership" had led to "notable improvements" in teaching, achievement, attendance and behaviour.
Miss Cassady is hoping for a good result in the next inspection.
"It is a big challenge and a big step to go from special measures to good," she said.
"But we have made significant progress. When I arrived we only had one maths teacher and one scientist who'd been there for 18 months. Now we have a full complement of scientists and a full complement of mathematicians. The staffing is of really very high quality."
She says the staff, students and parents have been "superb" at embracing change.
"This was my first headship and they say you should choose your first school very wisely," Miss Cassady said.
"The best thing I did was coming to Havant Academy and driving improvement within the school. It's been challenging, but it's been brilliant."
Fernando Forestieri's header put the Owls ahead early on, but the striker was sent off for a second-half off-the-ball incident with Ben Pearson.
Steven Fletcher's penalty doubled the lead before Doyle pulled one back.
Doyle and Beckford came to blows after the Irishman failed to play Beckford in as North End looked for an equaliser.
The fight between the two Preston forwards came in the final minute of normal time as the visitors looked like they would be able to level.
Wednesday, having used all three substitutes and seen Forestieri dismissed, were temporarily down to nine men as Will Buckley was off having lengthy treatment for a shoulder injury.
Doyle broke and played the ball to Marnick Vermijl, whose first-time shot was blasted over the bar, much to the ire of half-time substitute Beckford, who thought he was in a better position to score.
What a farce, an absolute farce. Jermaine Beckford and Eoin Doyle, hang your heads in shame, that is embarrassing.
He and Doyle then came together and exchanged blows, leaving referee Scott Duncan with little choice but to send the pair off.
In the first half Greg Cunningham could have equalised for Preston soon after Forestieri's opener, but the defender's long-range shot hit the post.
Both sides could have scored in a hectic end to the first half as first Jack Hunt shot wide for Wednesday, then Preston's Aiden McGeady forced Keiran Westwood into a fine save before Owls substitute Buckley headed wide at the far post when the goal was gaping after Forestieri's excellent pass.
Beckford had a goal disallowed soon after coming on - the former Leeds United and Everton forward scoring from a free-kick but referee Scott Duncan said it was taken too quickly.
Forestieri then got his marching orders before Fletcher converted from the spot after Buckley was brought down in the area by goalkeeper Chris Maxwell.
Doyle pulled a goal back when he fired low into the corner, but Wednesday held on to climb to fifth in the Championship while Preston slip to 15th.
Sheffield Wednesday boss Carlos Carvalhal:
"Pre-match we talked about how this Preston team is, an organised team and very tough to play against. The last three away games they won at Norwich and drew at Brighton and so on.
"We prepared, I think, very well for the game. The first minutes we pressed a lot, when we achieved the goal, I think we deserved it.
"Our team showed how much they wanted to win and the quality of the group. They did fantastic team work. We had to concentrate with nine-and-a-half players, because (Will) Buckley was just a body there, he couldn't move too much."

The lender, which made a pre-tax profit of £39.7m in 2013, witnessed a hefty drop in lending to UK consumers.
Wonga admitted it needed to address "the problems of the past" and is predicting another loss in 2015.
Last year, it apologised and agreed to pay compensation to customers after using letters from fake legal firms when chasing debts.
That left it with a compensation bill of £2.6m to be paid to 45,000 customers, not all of whom have been located yet.
It also had to write off thousands of unsuitable loans. Debts worth £220m from more than 300,000 customers were cancelled, owing to a failure to assess properly whether those borrowers could repay.
The company said that revenues fell by 31% in 2014 compared with 2013, driven by the cut in lending to UK consumers.
It reported a 36% fall in lending volumes fell to £732m last year, from £1.1bn in 2013. It made 2.5 million loans in the UK in 2014, compared with 3.7 million in 2013, while total customer numbers in the UK fell from about one million to 575,000.
Chairman Andy Haste, who arrived last summer, said: "We said Wonga would be smaller and less profitable in the near term as we focus on creating a sustainable business that lends responsibly and transparently to customers who can afford to borrow from us.
"We know it will take time to repair our reputation and gain an accepted place in the financial services industry."
Wonga, along with other payday lenders, now faces strict new rules from the regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), which ruled that customers must face stricter affordability checks.
The regulator said it expected a large number of payday loan operators to exit the market as a result. Wonga said the new regulations had led to a 12% rise in operating costs.
Lenders are no longer allowed to roll over a loan more than twice, nor attempt to reclaim payment from a borrower's account more than twice. There is also a cap on the cost of lending in the UK.
Wonga's rate of defaults on loans by struggling borrowers stood at 6.6% last year, compared with 6.9% the previous year.
Paul Miles, chief financial officer, said costs had been cut. Earlier this year, the company announced 325 job losses - more than a third of its staff. The posts were being cut in teams that supported the UK business, affecting offices in London, Dublin, Cape Town and Tel Aviv.
Wonga said that it would expect a loss in 2015, but launch new products and seek debt funding in 2016, although it offered no outline of what those products might be.
Mr Haste said that the company needed to move away from "the almost exclusive reliance on one product and one price".
He argued there was still a place in society for short-term credit offered by payday lenders.
"But only if they put their customers first and lend responsibly. Regrettably, that has not always been the case at Wonga," he said.
In July last year, Wonga cancelled its British TV ad campaign, saying it did not want to be associated with "anything which inadvertently attracts children", although they continued for a time in Spain and Poland.
The company reported growth in international lending in 2014.
Wonga also sponsors Newcastle United football club, but has agreed to remove its logo from all children's replica shirts from the 2016-17 season.
The drugs were discovered when a lorry was searched on Moorfields Road on 7 May 2016.
The man, who is 25, was arrested in Manchester on Friday morning and brought to Northern Ireland for questioning by the PSNI.
He is due to appear before Ballymena Magistrates' Court on Saturday
He faces charges of supplying a class B drug and being concerned in the supply of a class B drug.
Instead it blamed explosive booby-traps set by so-called Islamic State (IS).
The US said on Saturday that it was investigating an air strike on 17 March at "the location corresponding to allegations of civilian casualties".
The Iraqi government offensive to drive IS from west Mosul continued on Sunday with helicopter gunships in action.
"Ignore reports Iraq forces have paused Mosul offensive," the BBC's Jeremy Bowen tweeted from Mosul.
"It continues. Have seen gunships firing and heard much activity in the last few hours."
Reports suggested the disputed air strike, or strikes, killed more than 100 people in the Jadideh neighbourhood. But the details, and even the exact date, remain sketchy. Some reports suggested more than 200 bodies were pulled from a collapsed building.
However, the Iraqi military, on its Facebook page, has issued a detailed rebuttal of claims that an air strike was behind the deaths. The statement names al-Resala neighbourhood rather than Jadideh.
It says the coalition carried out an air strike, at the request of Iraqi forces, at 08:25 local time on 17 March.
Iraqi military experts checked a house "reportedly targeted by an air strike and they found out that the house was completely destroyed and there was no sign that it was destroyed by a strike".
The Iraqi statement goes on: "A huge detonated booby-trapped vehicle was found near the house. Some 61 dead bodies were pulled from under the rubble."
The military says eyewitnesses described how IS used houses, rigged with explosives and containing families, from which to fire at security forces.
In its statement on Saturday, the US Central Command said "an initial review of strike data" indicated that an air strike on 17 March was carried out in west Mosul "at the location corresponding to allegations of civilian casualties".
The coalition "takes all allegations of civilian casualties seriously and a formal Civilian Casualty Credibility Assessment has been opened to determine the facts surrounding the strike", it went on.
The battle is now centering on the Old City as Iraqi forces try to push IS from west Mosul. The jihadists were ejected from east Mosul in January after a months-long offensive.
Pep Guardiola's side responded from going out of the Champions League semi-final by securing the Bundesliga for a record fourth successive campaign.
Lewandowski put Bayern ahead from the penalty spot before doubling the lead after Xabi Alonso's sublime pass.
Moritz Hartmann's penalty made it 2-1 but Bayern clinched the title.
Borussia Dortmund were the only team that could have caught Guardiola's side but their 1-0 defeat at Eintracht Frankfurt means Bayern are eight points clear of their nearest rivals going into the final weekend of the league campaign.
Guardiola will therefore take up his new post at Manchester City this summer having secured three Bundesliga titles in three attempts.
The former Barcelona boss had been in a spiky mood on the eve of his penultimate league game following Bayern's defeat by Atletico Madrid on the away goals rule in the Champions League.
Guardiola had accused a dressing-room mole of "damaging" Bayern, after details of an alleged row in the wake of Tuesday's European exit were made public.
But the 45-year-old was all smiles as he celebrated with his players at the final whistle at mid-table Ingolstadt after an 81st win in 101 league games under Guardiola.
Bayern took the lead at Ingolstadt when Franck Ribery was fouled by home captain Marvin Matip in the area and Lewandowski scored the resulting spot-kick.
The Bundesliga's leading scorer then added his second when he drilled home Alonso's superb pass from a tight angle for his 29th league goal of the season.
Ingolstadt's Australia striker Mathew Leckie was denied by Manuel Neuer but the hosts pulled a goal back when Hartmann converted a penalty after a push from behind by Alonso.
After the final whistle, forward Thomas Muller grabbed a loud hailer to lead chants with the fans.
Bayern get a chance to secure a domestic double when they face Dortmund in the final of the German Cup on 21 May.

O'Sullivan crushed Barry Hawkins 10-1 to win his sixth Masters title after taking over eight months out from playing in major events.
His break came after losing to eventual winner Stuart Bingham in the last eight of the World Championship in April.
"I just want to enjoy this week and try and peak for the Worlds and have a good run," said the 40-year-old.
It is the first time O'Sullivan has confirmed he plans to play in snooker's showpiece event, which runs in Sheffield from 16 April to 2 May.

He returned in December for the German Masters qualifying, but failed to make it through to the main stages after suffering a shock defeat by Stuart Carrington.
Earlier this month, O'Sullivan won the minor Championship League, before his success at Alexandra Palace.
"Sheffield is going to be a completely different animal. It's 17 days and you have to hold it together so much more," the Englishman added.
"There's only so many tournaments you've got in you, so as you get towards 40 you've got to start trying to savour these moments. It's just good to be playing."
Stephen Hendry, who retired in 2012, holds the record for world titles with seven.

State television showed Russian President Vladimir Putin watching the film last week, alongside Kazakhstan President Nursultan Nazarbayev, in the Central Asian leader's capital Astana.
The clear message was that Russia and Kazakhstan are maintaining Soviet-era bonds of friendship, despite tensions in other parts of the former USSR. But the film itself - Panfilov's 28 Men - is based on a communist myth.
The film depicts an heroic act of self-sacrifice outside Moscow in November 1941.
According to the Soviet mythology, 28 soldiers from the Red Army's 316th Rifle Division, mainly recruits from the Kazakh and Kyrgyz Soviet republics, stood unflinching against the advancing might of Hitler's Wehrmacht.
The men, from a larger division led by Maj Gen Ivan Panfilov, were all killed, but destroyed 18 German tanks before they fell.
The 28 were immortalised - posthumously decorated as Heroes of the Soviet Union - and Soviet children learnt about their last stand in school.
Yet historians say the story is not true.
An official Soviet investigation into the event, compiled in 1948, concluded that the story was the "invention" of a journalist from the Red Army's newspaper Krasnaya Zvezda. The reporter's account was at best exaggerated, and several of the men survived. The results of the probe were kept secret.
But the themes of the story chime with the Kremlin's worldview, and the state partly sponsored the new film.
The Kremlin promotes the idea of World War Two as a heroic victory that united the Soviet state against fascism - and still unites Russia today against a similar threat they say has resurfaced in Ukraine.
The USSR suffered the heaviest losses in the war - more than 20 million civilians and military - though scholars dispute the exact toll.
The film shows Kazakhs, Russians and other Russian speakers standing shoulder-to-shoulder to defend the Motherland. It echoes a Russian foreign policy concept: a Moscow-centred "Russian World" united by a common language.
When, in June last year, Russian State Archive director Sergei Mironenko, citing historical documents, said the story was in fact a myth, he earned a sharp rebuke from Culture Minister Vladimir Medinsky.
Mr Mironenko was removed as head of the archive in March this year.
In February 2013, President Putin ordered a single history syllabus for schools, offering a standardised narrative. A new state "History" TV channel was launched that year too.
Supporters of Mr Putin's bid for a "canonical" history say it is needed in order to keep such a large state together. Yet critics see it as an attempt to impose one official version of the past.
Mr Putin and other officials have repeatedly talked about the need to counter the "falsification of history" or "rewriting history". They oppose interpretations of World War Two or other episodes of Soviet history that deviate from officially approved narratives.
Mr Putin's father was seriously wounded as a soldier on the Leningrad front.

Mr Medinsky, the culture minister, defended Panfilov's 28 Men, saying "even if this story was invented from start to finish, if there had been no Panfilov, if there had been nothing, this is a sacred legend that shouldn't be interfered with. People that do that are filthy scum."
It is not the first time Russian officials have suggested that certain chapters of Russian history are sacred.
In January 2014, independent liberal broadcaster Dozhd TV came under attack. It was accused of smearing the memory of WW2 veterans by asking whether residents of wartime Leningrad could have been saved by surrendering the city to Nazi forces.
The public discussion of WW2 history has also been curbed by a controversial 2014 law against the rehabilitation of Nazism.
Under this law, Vladimir Luzgin, a blogger from Perm region in the Urals, was fined 200,000 roubles ($3,200; £2,500) for reposting an article about the war on the Russian social network VK (VKontakte), the daily Kommersant reported in July.
The court ruled that Luzgin posted an article with knowingly false information about a joint invasion of Poland by German and Soviet forces on 1 September 1939.
According to the prosecutors, Luzgin realised that the text might instil in many people "a firm conviction about negative actions of the USSR" in the war.
The court said Luzgin had falsified history by stating "that the communists and Germany jointly attacked Poland, unleashing World War Two, or in other words, that Communism and Nazism co-operated honestly".
In September, Russia's Supreme Court ruled that the punishment of Luzgin was justified.
Nazi Germany and the USSR signed a non-aggression pact in August 1939 - the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. In a secret protocol, they agreed to carve up Poland between them.
Nazi troops invaded Poland on 1 September and Soviet troops, from the east, on 17 September.
Russia-Poland spat over WW2 cause
In another incident, last year, the authorities in Sverdlovsk region banned the works of two British historians - Antony Beevor and John Keegan - saying they were imbued with Nazi propaganda. The Vedomosti daily described (in Russian) the order to remove the books from public libraries as "full of nonsense from start to finish".
Promoted by the state and personally previewed by Mr Putin, Panfilov's 28 Men may well prove a box office hit when it comes out in November.
Many Russians may not know how the state embroidered the tale of Panfilov's men - but many may not care either.

Kidd, who spent three months on loan at Palmerston Park last season, has signed a one-year contract, with Queens saying he had "interest elsewhere".
The defender told the Dumfries club's website: "I enjoyed my time here last season and I just can`t wait to get started in pre-season again.
"It will be a great league to be involved in this season."
Kidd made six appearances during April and May for the side whose season ended in a promotion play-off defeat by Falkirk in the Scottish Championship.
A lawyer for French journalist Florence Hartmann said she was "very happy".
Hartmann, 53, was arrested over a 2009 conviction for contempt for disclosing confidential documents.
She was initially sentenced to a fine, but this changed to seven days' jail when the court ruled she had not paid.
She insisted the money was deposited in a French account.
A statement from the tribunal said she was being released early from the detention unit at The Hague because of her "exemplary conduct... and her completion of more than two thirds of her sentence".
Hartmann was detained on Thursday in The Hague, where she had gone for the verdict against former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic.
Her lawyer, Guenael Mettraux, told AFP news agency on Tuesday that she "will be released today. I just spoke with her and she is gathering her things together". He said she was "very happy".
On Monday, Mr Mettraux had said she was being kept in isolation with the lights permanently on.
The tribunal's statement on Tuesday acknowledged a complaint about the conditions of her detention but said it was "unfounded".
Hartmann worked for the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia from 2000 to 2006.
She wrote a book, Peace And Punishment, and an article in which she disclosed the existence of confidential documents on the Serbian government involvement in the Bosnian war of the 1990s.

Bouchard, 20, and Serena Williams were both asked to show off their outfits on court following second-round wins.
Twelve-time Grand Slam champion Billie Jean King has called the request from the male interviewer "truly sexist".
But Canadian Bouchard said: "I'm not offended. I'm fine with being asked to twirl if they ask the guys to flex."
She added: "I think it was an in-the-moment thing and it was funny."
The request drew criticism on social media, where King wrote: "The Australian Open interviewer asking the women to twirl on court is out of line.
"This is truly sexist. If you ask the women, you have to ask the guys."
The 71-year-old, who won the Australian Open in 1968, added: "Let's focus on accomplishments of both genders and not our looks."
American world number one Williams was reluctant to describe the exchange with Tennis Australia commentator Ian Cohen as sexist despite the strong reaction.
"I wouldn't ask Rafa Nadal or Roger Federer to twirl. Whether it's sexist or not, I don't know. I can't answer that," said Williams, a second-round winner over Vera Zvonareva.
"I didn't really want to twirl because I don't need all the extra attention.
"Whether I twirl or not, it's not the end of the world. It's about being positive and just moving forward."
Bouchard, whose chat with Cohen followed her straight sets win over Kiki Bertens, was asked again about the issue following her third-round win over France's Caroline Garcia on Friday.
"They try to ask funny questions," she added.
"It's entertaining, I guess. I don't mind it. People can think what they want about it, but I just answer how I want and do what I want. I'm fine with it."
At last year's tournament in Melbourne, Bouchard was asked about dating US pop star Justin Bieber.
The shirts are printed with an image of Airdrie fan Mark Allison, who died of pancreatic cancer in June.
All 100 shirts were sold in 35 minutes on Saturday morning.
"There were lots of disappointed people but they understood the situation," said commercial manager Douglas Allsop.
The Scottish League One side would usually sell between 100 and 150 shirts a season, but have already taken orders for a further 200, even though they will not be available until March.
Orders have come from across Britain and even from fans of other Scottish clubs, including Aberdeen, Rangers and Airdrie's Lanarkshire rivals Motherwell.
Allison raised almost £80,000 for cancer charities before he died at the age of 49.
"He was well known throughout Airdrie but also outside the town," said Allsop, who is also a member of the supporters' trust.
"Once he was diagnosed, rather than lie down, he wanted to take on projects and I think that was to keep him upbeat and occupied.
"We're quite a parochial, unfashionable club but we all look after our own. That's part of the reason Mark was so successful in his fundraising.
"I was a friend of Mark's and this is a great legacy."
In 2015, 16.9% of adults described themselves as smokers, compared with 19.3% in 2012.
Experts say the decrease may be partly thanks to the availability of e-cigarettes.
More than a million people said they vaped as they tried to quit and 700,000 used a licensed nicotine replacement product such as patches or gum.
Out of the 2.5 million smokers who tried to kick the habit, a fifth were successful.
According to Public Health England, this is the highest recorded successful quitting rate to date - six years ago the success rate was around one in seven.
Source: Annual Population Survey
The biggest decreases in smoking over the last four years were seen in the South West (18.7% to 15.5%), the North East (22% to 18.7%) and Yorkshire & Humber (21.9% to 18.6%).
At the same time, prescriptions for smoking cessation aids, such as patches and gum have gone down, while sales of e-cigarettes have gone up.
Despite the fall, there are wide variations across the country and a north-south divide.
Kingston-upon-Hull has the highest rate of smoking with almost 27 in every 100 adults. And Wokingham has the lowest, with fewer than one in 10.
Overall, the smoking rate among women was 14.9%, while in men it was 19.1%.
In 2014/15, the number of prescription items dispensed in England to help people stop smoking was 1.3 million, compared to two million 10 years ago.
Health professionals say the most effective way to quit smoking remains through prescription medication and professional support from free local NHS stop smoking services.
Rosanna O'Connor, director of drugs, alcohol, tobacco at Public Health England, said: "The reduction in smoking rates isn't the result of a single magic bullet but concerted policies over decades."
Deputy Chief Medical Officer Dr Gina Radford said: "The best thing a smoker can do for their health is to stop smoking. There is more help and support available now than ever before."
PHE released the figures ahead of its Stoptober campaign, which aims to encourage smokers to quit smoking during October.
According to experts, taking a complete break from cigarettes for at least 28 days greatly increases the odds of being able to kick the smoking habit for life.
Latest data (for 2014) shows that 20% of adults in Scotland are current smokers. In Wales the figure is 19% and in Northern Ireland it is 18%. | Ireland will take on South Africa, Fiji and Argentina in their 2017 autumn international series.

The thieves stole around £1,000 from the Compass Advocacy Network (CAN) in Ballymoney in January.
But now, the Holywood star, who recently met the group in Belfast, has donated a "substantial sum" to help the charity.
CAN works with children aged between 12 and 18 with learning difficulties.
The money stolen from the charity's Seymour Street ofices was raised during the BBC Children in Need campaign.
The manager of the charity, Linda McKendry, said they were "really, really touched" by Troyer's generosity.
In a letter to CAN he said: "I heard what happened and I just wanted to help you and the kids.
"Please tell them hello from me. Also, remember you can do anything you set your mind to, always be optimistic."

Only eight of 126 registered agencies in Borno state were there to genuinely help, Kashim Shettima said.
He criticised the UN children's agency (Unicef) for buying bullet-proof cars, saying he did not use such vehicles.
Last month, the UN launched a $1bn (£825,000) appeal for those facing hunger and starvation in the region.
The UN said that nearly 5.1 million people in three north-eastern states were expected to face serious food shortages as for a third year in a row farmers had been unable to plant, fearing unexploded improvised devices left behind by militants.
Urgent aid was needed for some 100,000 people, mostly children, at risk of dying of starvation.
The military has recaptured much of the land controlled by Boko Haram in 2014, but thousands of people who fled their homes are still living in camps.
Governor Shettima did single out some aid agencies that were doing a good job such as the UN's World Food Programme (WFP), the International Committee of the Red Cross, the International Organization for Migration, the Norwegian Refugee Council and the Danish Refugee Council.
But those agencies only there to profit "from the agony of our people" should leave, he said.
According to the Associated Press news agency, Mr Shettima made the comments on Tuesday night to MPs and journalists at the state legislature in Borno's main city of Maiduguri.
In some ways the Borno governor's gripe may be legitimate. In the last six months his city of Maiduguri has been transformed. Whereas before it was rare to see foreign aid workers, now the tiny airport in Maiduguri is full of staff from non-governmental organisations (NGOs).
It is a struggle to get a booking in the city's few hotels and armoured vehicles - each costing about $500,000 - are visible all around. The UN in particular has a policy of using them, many other NGOs do not. But they have reason - last July a UN convoy returning from a camp in rural Borno was attacked by Boko Haram fighters; Unicef staff survived direct gunfire thanks to their armoured vehicle.
It is not the first time the UN has been criticised for wasting money, but the idea that Unicef is profiting from the crisis is probably a step too far. It is involved in various nutrition programmes in camps around Borno state that are undoubtedly contributing to feeding the thousands at risk of starving to death.
The governor accused some agencies of concentrating too much on the camps for those displaced by the conflict.
"We are in the post-conflict phase of insurgency era where we are concentrating on recovery, reconstruction and rehabilitation. But the foreign NGOs have near fixation on the IDP camps," Nigeria's Premium Times newspaper quotes him as saying.
"We hardly know what the UN agencies are doing. We only see them in some white flashy bullet-proof jeeps; apart from that, we hardly see their visible impacts."
The governor said he hoped the camps would be closed by the end of May this year, according to Nigeria's Leadership newspaper.
Last month, Nigeria's President Muhammdu Buhari accused the UN and aid agencies of deliberately exaggerating the humanitarian crisis and whipping up "a non-existent fear of mass starvation" to get more funds.
Unicef has not yet commented on Mr Shettima's remarks.

Team GB's Heather Stanning and Helen Glover were due to compete in one of 10 events beginning at 12:30 BST.
However, bad weather delayed the start by two hours before the rowing was eventually called off.
All of the races will now take place on Monday, where Glover and Stanning will begin their defence of their pairs title from 16:30 BST.
The weather caused problems on Saturday for Serbs Milos Vasic and Nenad Bedik, who capsized during their men's semi-final.
Play was also delayed on the outside tennis courts because of the wind, while the start of the canoe slalom event was delayed by one hour.
Alistair Magowan, BBC Sport: "Whether it was fans, rowers or Great Britain rowing performance director Sir David Tanner, everyone agreed that postponing events at Lagoa on Sunday was the right decision.
"At first, the wind speed wasn't too dissimilar to Saturday, which saw a bumpy day's competition result in a crew from Serbia capsizing, but soon after the regatta was called off the wind really increased to a level where it wasn't good for running around the lagoon let alone rowing on it.
"The hope is that time can be made up from Monday, and there is an extra day built into the schedule for circumstances such as this. But if organisers lose a second day, a revised schedule could mean crews rowing twice in one day."

The former Australian prime minister, now head of an international education fund, says the "repercussions" will affect all countries.
Ms Gillard says the global community needs to support efforts to provide education for displaced young people.
Education for refugees provided support "in the depths of crisis", she said.
Ms Gillard, speaking to the BBC in London, warned that every country, on grounds of both morality and self-interest, should support the education of young people caught up in conflict.
And she rejected the idea that countries could turn away from international responsibilities.
"Whether it's debates about immigration, people's movement into Europe, or looking back at the Iraq war, the underlying theme is that in today's world, something happening in any part of the world has repercussions for the rest of the world.
"It's not like the old days when somewhere geographically remote would never touch you," said Ms Gillard.
"That's not the world we're living in. It's a connected world in every sense. That means that good things and bad things have consequences for the rest of the world."
Ms Gillard, chair of the Global Partnership for Education (GPE), said there were an estimated 75 million young people living in conflict zones and that providing them with an education was the most "hard-headed" way to promote "peace and prosperity".
When children became refugees, she said only about a quarter were likely to get to school, threatening to permanently damage their chance of qualifications, work and a stable future.
The destruction of war exacerbated the problems of millions of children already missing out on education, particularly girls.

"The statistic that always sends chills down my spine and makes me very anxious is that at the current rate of change it won't be until 2111 before we see the first generation of sub-Saharan African girls universally going to primary and lower secondary school."
She says her own family's experience shows how much education systems can make progress.
"My father was born in 1928 in a Welsh coal mining village and he left school when he was 14. That was the UK of the last century, now kids don't leave school, they get the opportunity to stay on and it's built this society."
She says that she wants a similar "virtuous circle" of improved access to education and an improved economy for poorer countries around the world.
While there might be concerns about migration in the West, she says that often it is the poorest countries, closest to conflicts, that face the toughest humanitarian challenges.
She gives the example of Chad, a central African country which has seen large numbers of refugees coming across its borders.
The United Nations says there are now 2.8 million people in the area surrounding Lake Chad who have been forced out of their homes by the violence of the Boko Haram terror group.
"Chad is trying to build its education system and has seen a huge influx of people - and they're trying to bring children into their school system.
"It's an enormous act of generosity if you think about it. It's a very poor country, but when people come across their borders they say we have an obligation to teach them too."
The GPE, with the UK among its biggest donors, has funded the construction of classrooms and the training of teachers in Chad. It's one of 65 developing countries supported by the international education organisation.
Ms Gillard says she is also heartened by this year's creation of an international emergency fund for education, called Education Cannot Wait.
She campaigned alongside former UK prime minister Gordon Brown, now a United Nations special envoy, to set up this fund to provide education for families caught up in conflicts and natural disasters.
"Traditionally in a crisis people have thought about food and water, medical attention, shelter. But they haven't thought about education.
"But when displaced people are surveyed about what they want for themselves and their families, they put education right at the top of the list.
"They need the things that sustain life from one 24 hours to the next. But when they think about the future, what they want is education for their children, because it's their only hope of long term change."
It also gives traumatised youngsters a reassuring sense of normality, she says.
"The evidence is clear, education provides social support for those families in conflict, socialises them as well as educates," she says.
"It's an emotional and social support to them in the depths of crisis.
"When you think about what many of these children have been through and what they've seen, that kind of simple normality can be very healing."

Mamo told BBC Radio Leeds: "I'm excited by the change as I have only ever lived in Australia. I will give it my all.
"Hopefully I will play full-back and that's what I've spoken to (Giants coach) Rick Stone about.
"I have known Rick since as I was 18 at Newcastle and I have had a good relationship with him. He has always helped me out a lot and he was one of the reasons when I re-signed at Newcastle initially."
Mamo suffered his injury when he was hit by a motorcycle while on holiday in Bali.

The royal couple joined a group of teenagers on a fishing boat trip in the waters of the Haida Gwaii archipelago off the British Columbia coast.
They had earlier paddled into the heart of wilderness community in a canoe.
Haida Gwaii means "islands of the people".
Archaeological evidence suggests the area has been inhabited for at least 10,000 years.

Real Madrid's Bale, 27, will have ankle surgery on Tuesday and is expected to be out for four months.
However, Coleman said: "I'm hoping it's going to be more like three months.
"He's an absolute machine and physically he's an absolute specimen. We'll know a little bit more probably next week or the week after."
Bale hobbled out of Tuesday's 2-1 Champions League win at Sporting Lisbon with what has been diagnosed as a "traumatic dislocation of the peroneal tendons" in his right ankle.
Wales are third in Group D, four points adrift of leaders the Republic, who they face at Dublin's Aviva Stadium on 24 March.
Bale has scored four times in Wales' opening four qualifiers and is now second to Ian Rush on his country's all-time goalscoring list with 26 goals.
Rosemary Butler told the BBC's Sunday Politics Wales show that the Isle of Man and Jersey had introduced the change.
She wants youth councils and forums for young people to consider the change from the current age of 18.
In Scotland the SNP Government wants 16 and 17-year-olds to take part in the referendum on independence there.
"Some people are a bit afraid of it, and other people think - I've got a job at 16, I'm paying tax so I should be able to vote," Mrs Butler said.
She added that it is a very interesting debate and that she hoped more people will take part in it.
"They're (16-year-olds) certainly up to it, whether they've got the confidence to do it, that might be a different matter, but then that goes for the whole of the population.
"If we encourage everybody to vote, then we'd have a true mandate," she said.
Kay Swinburne, Conservative MEP for Wales said she would rather a "broader" look was taken at voting patterns, as at the moment 18-24 year-olds are at the "poorer end of the spectrum" when it comes to turning out to vote.
"What we need to do is encourage everyone to use their democratic right," she added.
Throughout Europe only Austria had lowered the voting age since 2007, she said.
North Wales Liberal Democrat AM, Aled Roberts, said his party was in favour of lowering the voting age.
"But we need to get people to understand that voting for the assembly is important... that a vote can make a difference," he added.
More than half of the 485 who were killed were civilians.
They came from a cross-section of society, a mixture of wealthy and poor, from the very young to the very old.
The youngest recorded civilian death is a child of 22 months, while the oldest fatality was 82-years-old.
Most of those who died were interred at Glasnevin Cemetery in Dublin.
According to the Glasnevin Trust, 16% of all fatalities of the Rising were rebel forces, 29% were crown forces and police and 55% were civilians.
More than a third of all military deaths were Irishmen enlisted in the service of the Crown to fight in the Great War, who were either at home on leave, or stationed in Dublin barracks.
Although the number of female victims was high, most of those who died were working class men. Their families were, according to a local merchant speaking to the Irish Independent, "left in a destitute situation".
While the bereaved spouses of rebels would later be able to claim a widow's military pension from the Irish Free State (as documented in the Irish Military Archives), the widowed spouses of general labourers would not.
Not all of those who died in the Rising were ever formally identified. Two of those 'unknowns' were taken for interment from the City Morgue. At least one is known to be interred in the poor plot in Glasnevin Cemetery in the north of the city.
In 1929 a memorial headstone to the rebels was erected at Glasnevin, where 13 rebels, Irish Volunteer and Citizen Army, were buried in a mass unmarked grave.
Nearby lie a greater number of the civilian dead of the Rising, many of them sharing unmarked graves; some of them identified by a plot number.
While Dublin was in lockdown, and the movement of people restricted, normal funerary arrangements could not keep up with the rising death toll, and many of those killed were not laid to rest for several days.
Sarah Sands, 32, was found guilty of the manslaughter of Michael Pleasted, 77, by reason of loss of control.
Pleasted, who had previous convictions, was on bail awaiting trial when he was killed at his flat in east London.
He was stabbed eight times and bled to death, the Old Bailey heard.
Judge Nicholas Cooke QC said it was a "truly exceptional case" as he reduced her sentence from seven years to three-and-a-half, taking into consideration her position as a single mother.
Sands, who was cleared of murder, had armed herself with a knife and carried out a "determined and sustained attack" on Pleasted at his flat in Canning Town, the court heard.
Pleasted, who also went by the name of Robin Moult, had 24 previous convictions for sexual offences spanning three decades.
He served sentences of between nine months and six years for sex crimes that included indecent assaults on a boys aged under 16 and under 14.
However, he was not on the sex offenders register as he committed his offences before it was introduced in 1997.
Sands, who has been in custody for the past 10 months, could be released on parole in 11 months.
The judge emphasised the case was "unique" as Sands had lost control rather than taken the law into her own hands and engaged in "vigilante conduct".
He said: "There must never be the slightest encouragement for mob rule."
The judge added: "This was a case in which the defendant promptly gave herself up to the police in a highly stressed state, never disputed responsibility for the killing as a matter of fact, did not take the opportunity to get rid of evidence and demonstrated remorse."
At the time of the attack, Pleasted was on bail awaiting trial at Snaresbrook Crown Court on two charges of sexual assault on two children aged under 13.
Officers were also investigating a further allegation he had abused a third boy.
During the trial, Sands told the court she had not intended to hurt Pleasted when she went to his flat with a knife, claiming instead she wanted him to admit to his crimes so his young accusers would not have to go to court.
Sands told the jury she was "frightened", adding: "It was not how it was meant to go. He was meant to listen to me".
However she said Pleasted "smirked" when he answered the door and told her the boys were all liars who had ruined his life.
During the trial, the judge said an inquiry was under way into the decision to bail Pleasted.

England thrashed Scotland 61-21 at Twickenham on Saturday to retain the Six Nations and coach Jones says his players want more success.
"How many times in your life do you get to be great? It's exciting," he said.
"They're in the dressing room now talking about it. They want to do it."
New Zealand's record run of 18 est consecutive victories was ended by Ireland in Chicago just last autumn, and Jones believes that Joe Schmidt's side will prove tough opposition in Dublin next Saturday.
France were the last team to win back-to-back Grand Slams in 1998, with England achieving the feat in 1992 - both before Italy joined the tournament and the number of nations increased from five to six.
"We've got a fantastic opportunity," said Jones. "It would mean for the players they've achieved greatness.
"Our focus is purely on Ireland - back-to-back Grand Slams has never been done in the history of the Six Nations.
"Ireland, psychologically, are in a very strong position," he added. "They're beaten, they're out of the tournament and they love spoiling parties.
"And the party they'd love to spoil the most is the England party."
England's haul of wins has lifted them to second in the world rankings, behind World Cup holders New Zealand, and Jones has set his sights on toppling the All Blacks.

Jones has not faced New Zealand since taking charge in 2015.
He said: "[The half-time message was] that we were ruthless and behaved like the number-one team in the world. The number-one team in the world goes on and finishes that off.
"We're not beating our chests and saying we're the number-one team in the world, but we aspire to be the number-one team in the world.
"We're one year into a four-year project. We've done reasonably well in the first year.
"We want to be the number-one team in the world but we're not, so we have got to get better."
England captain Dylan Hartley said that the players haven't allowed themselves to celebrate with one game still to come, and described winning the championship early as "weird".
"If we want to kick on as a team the next challenge is Dublin next weekend," he said.
"The team delivered, we don't need to fill newspaper columns and I'm happy with how the team conducted themselves. We were clinical, ruthless.
"It feels a bit weird - we have retained the Six Nations but it won't feel like it until we win next weekend.
"It's not a dead rubber - it's another step for the team to get better."
Cyprus won 24 matches in a row between 2008 and 2014 but they are not a tier one nation and not a full member of the International Rugby Board. England's best run before Eddie Jones took over was a streak of 14 consecutive wins between 2002 and 2003 - which ended just before their World Cup winning campaign.

The Health Survey Northern Ireland, which is published annually, also suggested the vast majority taking medicines are doing so long term.
The survey of just over 4,000 people, took place between April 2014 and March 2015.
It suggests 25% of 16-24-year-olds are on prescribed drugs.
However, the number is much higher in the older age category, with 91% of over 75s on prescription medication.
Prescription charges were scrapped in Northern Ireland in 2010.
In February 2015, the then Health Minister, Jim Wells, proposed the reintroduction of the charges to pay for a new specialist drugs fund in Northern Ireland.
It would pay for drugs that are too expensive or too specific to be licensed for use.
It is estimated that when prescription charges were applied in the past they covered around 3.5% of the prescribed medicine bill due to exemptions such as age.
The Department of Health hopes to raise between £5m and £10m through some form of charging.
The results of a three-month consultation that took place earlier this year is expected to be released soon.
The first suggestion was to reintroduce the same system that was in place in 2010, charging £3 an item.
The second option was to adopt a similar system but increase the number of exemptions.
The final option is to introduce a universal charge.
This would be set at a much lower rate of say 50p per prescription but there would be no exemptions.
The survey also included questions on a variety of topics including, obesity, smoking and sexual health.
The abbey launched its Rescue Our Ruins appeal in May 2012 with the goal of raising £500,000 - a pound for every person living in Somerset.
Events co-ordinator James Stone told the BBC there was "a long way to go" in funding efforts.
The appeal has already helped restore key features including the Lady Chapel and the Abbot's Kitchen.
It also wants to save the North Wall, the oldest standing part of the abbey, dating from the Norman period.
The Abbot's Kitchen, in the grounds of the abbey, was built in the 14th Century, and is one of the world's few surviving medieval kitchens.
It reopened in April last year following a year of conservation work.
Mr Stone said: "The abbey itself has had to raise about £500,000 and we're about halfway there.
"We've still got a long way to go and we're still looking to raise money.
"It's been about a three-year project to conserve and keep these beautiful buildings here for future generations to enjoy."
Two hundred people work at the dairy in Hanworth, west London, where milk is put into glass bottles.
The remaining jobs will go at the creamery in Chard, which is due to shut by the end of next year.
Chief executive Mark Allen said the closures were right for the long-term future of the business.
Hanworth will remain open for another two years. Its closure is due to reduced demand for milk supplied in glass bottles, with most people opting for milk in plastic bottles.
According to Dairy Crest, the proportion of milk sold in glass bottles has fallen from 94% in 1975 to 4% in 2012.
However, the food producer said plastic containers were now as environmentally friendly as glass.
The creamery in Chard makes a range of alcoholic and retailer-branded creams.
Mr Allen said: "At Hanworth nothing is going to change immediately, but sales of milk in glass bottles are falling and we have to give our employees at Hanworth clarity over the dairy's future.
"We also have to let our milkmen and women know that we are doing all we can to protect their livelihoods."
He added that the firm had tried to make the Chard site "viable for many years" but this had not worked.
Production will be stepped up at its three plastic bottling dairies in Chadwell Heath, Greater London; Foston, Lincolnshire; and Severnside, Bristol; to make up for the loss of production at Hanworth.
A consultation with staff across both sites is now under way.
The finds around Trawsfynydd, Gwynedd, mark the end of a project to survey moorland left "unimproved" over the years to find unrecorded sites.
Over 42,000 archaeological features have been recorded in the Uplands Archaeology Initiative since 1987.
Experts say the findings will give a richer understanding of the importance upland areas have played in the past.
The Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales (RCAHMW) has been collating the data from the fieldwork carried out by different organisations.
The latest findings around Craig Aberserw in Snowdonia have been made by Peter Schofield and Hannah Leighton from Oxford Archaeology North (OAN).
They have recorded 4,500 sites and monuments since OAN's work on the project began in 2002.
Mr Schofield said a recent finding of a Prehistoric burnt mound - a site showing fire-cracked stones, possibly used for heating water - close to a popular path used by walkers on Snowdon, was a "stand out feature".
He said it also showed that there were lots of things still to be discovered as it had only recently been identified despite the popularity of the area with visitors.
His team's survey work has been looking at ancient structures, including abandoned settlements, burial monuments, old peat workings and sheepfolds, many of which were entirely unknown.
They have found evidence of more prehistoric burnt mounds as well as standing stones, possibly having ceremonial purposes or defining a route at Trawsfynydd.
Mr Schofield said they have also recorded a "hell of a lot of mining" over the centuries as well as a high number of medieval buildings and enclosures used for seasonal farming.
David Leighton, a senior investigator in RCAHMW's Reconnaissance Team, said the project had shown the extent and history of industrial exploitation in Wales, "often leading to spectacular features long abandoned."
He highlighted the landscape at the Blaenavon World Heritage Site, Torfaen, once a major producer of iron and coal in 19th Century south Wales.
Mr Leighton said: "The future analysis of nearly three decades of survey data should lead to a deeper and richer understanding of the part played by the uplands in the history and culture of Wales."
About 40% of Wales' landscape is regarded as uplands, an area over 244 metres (800ft) above sea level.
More information on findings can also be found on the Coflein website, a national collection of information about historic sites in Wales.
Chloe Rutherford, 17, and Liam Curry, 19, from South Shields, were among 22 victims killed in the suicide bomb attack on 22 May.
In a joint statement, their families said they were "looking forward to bringing their babies home".
They added that their "hearts ached" for those who have now suffered loss.
The statement, issued through Greater Manchester Police, read: "We want to give special thanks to Greater Manchester Police, our Northumbrian Police family liaison officers and The Hilton Hotel who have shown nothing but kindness and resolve.
"To the nurses and British Red Cross we also extend our gratitude for supporting us during our darkest hours.
"The past two weeks have been a parent's worst nightmare as our children were taken from us much too soon.
"Finally after much heartache and sadness we are in a position at last to bring our babies home where they belong.
"We would at this point also like to reach out to those affected by the London terror attack, sending our love and condolences to those who have lost loved ones, our hearts are aching for your loss, may those injured have a speedy recovery."
The 30-year-old had treatment on the touchline after being caught by Olivier Giroud's boot, but returned bandaged up to score a late equaliser at Anfield.
The Slovakian posted an image of the injury on his Instagram account.
He wrote: "Disappointed with the result but happy to score that late goal and help the team to get at least a point."
Skrtel also required staples in a head wound in January 2014 following a clash with Bournemouth's Andrew Surman during an FA Cup tie.
The centre-back also continued on that occasion, as Liverpool won 2-0 at the Goldsands Stadium.
As protests against the leftist government continued in the capital Caracas, he said his passport had been seized at the airport and would not be returned until 2020.
US President Donald Trump has described Venezuela's crisis as a "disgrace".
The US treasury has put eight supreme court members on a financial blacklist.
It called this punishment for undermining the country's democratically elected congress by assuming its powers in late March. A senior official in Washington said further action would be taken if there was no improvement in Venezuela following weeks of worsening instability.
At least 43 people have died in the last seven weeks in violence related to the anti-government protests.
The opposition and the government accuse each other of trying to stage a coup.
"I have not been able to travel," Mr Capriles said in a video posted online. "I will not be able to attend the meeting with the High Commissioner for Human Rights."
"They robbed my passport, for that is how I would describe it, in the migration zone."
Mr Capriles, who is seen as the opposition's best hope of defeating President Nicolas Maduro in elections next year, has been at the forefront of demands for a presidential recall referendum.
He was recently banned from politics for 15 years.
In Thursday's video, he said he would return to the streets to join an anti-government march.
President Trump told a press conference in Washington he would "work together to do whatever is necessary to help with fixing" the crisis.
Relations between the US and the Venezuelan government have been chilly for years.
In February, the US designated Mr Maduro's Vice-President, Tareck El Aissami, as a major international drug trafficker.
He dismissed the allegation at the time as an "imperialist aggression".
In the online statement, his mother, Paula Somers, says: "Please... give us an opportunity to see our Luke again."
A man identifying himself as Mr Somers, who was abducted in 2013, appeared in a separate video on Wednesday, saying his life was in danger and asking for help.
The US has revealed it tried to rescue him last month.
"Regrettably, Luke was not present, though hostages of other nationalities were present and were rescued," the National Security Council said on Thursday.
In a video posted on YouTube, Mr Somers' mother and brother said he was "only trying to do good things for the Yemeni population".
"Luke is only a photojournalist and is not responsible for any actions the US government has taken," his brother, Jordan, said.
Noting that her son "appears healthy" in his captors' video, Paula Somers said: "We thank you for that."
Mr Somers, 33, worked as a journalist and photographer for local news organisations and his material appeared on international news outlets, including the BBC News website.
In the video released on Wednesday, a member of al-Qaeda in the Arab Peninsula (AQAP) threatens to kill him unless unspecified demands are met.
In a statement afterwards, the White House said President Barack Obama had authorised a rescue operation to free Mr Somers and other hostages last month, but that Mr Somers was not present at the time of the raid.
On 25 November, US and Yemeni forces rescued six Yemenis, a Saudi and an Ethiopian being held by AQAP in an operation at a mountain cave in the remote Hajr al-Sayar district of Hadramawt province. Seven militants were reportedly killed.
US National Security Council spokeswoman Bernadette Meehan said: "As soon as the US government had reliable intelligence and an operational plan, the president authorised the department of defence to conduct an operation to recover Mr Somers."
She added: "The details of the operation remain classified.
"The overriding concern for Mr Somers' safety and the safety of the US forces who undertake these missions made it imperative that we not disclose information related to Mr Somers' captivity and the attempted rescue."
Ms Meehan said the president "could not be prouder" of the US forces who carried out the mission.
AQAP's threat to kill Mr Somers follows the murder of five Western hostages - including three Americans - since August by the Islamist militant group Islamic State, which controls parts of Syria and Iraq.
Scrutiny of US policy on dealing with kidnappers has increased following the killings, reports the BBC's Aleem Maqbool in Washington.
The Obama administration has been criticised for not paying ransoms, not allowing hostage families to speak out and not taking opportunities to negotiate.
While the White House stands by its policies, the president has ordered a review, our correspondent says.
AQAP is regarded by the US as one of the deadliest offshoots of al-Qaeda.
The group is based in eastern Yemen and has built up support amid the unrest which has beset the impoverished country since the overthrow of President Ali Abdullah Saleh in 2011.
Anastasia James, 37, smoked the drug before the crash in January 2014, Leicester Crown Court was told.
Daughter Destiny James-Keeling, 14, and Megan Marchant, 18, died when Mrs James's vehicle came off the M1 in Leicestershire and smashed into a tree.
Mrs James denies all charges.
A jury heard Mrs James had been at a child's birthday party in Islington in north London when she took the "unforgivable" decision to smoke cannabis either before she set off, or during the journey back to her home in Leicester.
Prosecutor Michael Evans QC said Mrs James's Vauxhall Astra convertible veered into the central reservation near Shawell, then travelled across three lanes of the M1 before plunging down a verge, becoming airborne and hitting a tree at 50mph.
"We know that cannabis can and will affect a person's driving abilities," Mr Evans said.
"She did not want this to happen...but she had the care of children and to make the choice that she did is simply unforgivable."
The defendant gave a negative breath test in hospital, but Mr Evans said a blood test conducted about six hours after the crash resulted in findings "consistent with cannabis use within the previous six to eight hours".
Mrs James, of Thornton Close, Braunstone, is accused of two counts of causing death by careless driving when unfit through drugs.
The trial continues.
The fault affects LIFEPAK 1000 devices, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) said.
The manufacturer, Physio-Control, has sent a safety alert to those with the devices concerned, urging them to check the battery connection.
The defibrillators are intended for use by anyone in public places.
They are found in schools, airports, leisure centres, hospitals, clinics and ambulances.
Physio-Control said it had received 34 reports of incidents where customers had attempted to use the defibrillator and it had shut down unexpectedly during treatment.
The MHRA said the fault was caused by an intermittent connection between the battery and device contacts because of wear and corrosion.
This could fail to deliver an electric shock to resuscitate a patient, it said.
There are 10,068 LIFEPAK 1000 devices in the UK.
The MHRA said any users who had yet to receive the safety alert should contact Physio-Control directly.
Guidelines for recommended use say LIFEPAK 1000 batteries should be removed and reinstalled every week.
John Wilkinson, MHRA director of medical devices, said: "These devices deliver life-saving treatment and it is vital they operate correctly when needed in an emergency.
"People who are responsible for them should carry out the checks recommended by the manufacturer.
"If you have any questions, please contact Physio-Control on 0808 258 0094."
In October, the same company issued a safety warning over two other defibrillator models.
It happened as the man was walking along Main Street in the village shortly before 03:00 BST on Saturday.
It was reported that a man was shouted at by the driver of a green Seat Leon car who then turned the car and struck him.
The pedestrian was treated in hospital for an injury to his leg.
The driver was described as being about 30, of stocky build with short hair and a scarred complexion.
He was also said to have spoken with a Belfast accent.
James Kelly said the "illiberal" law was "flawed on several levels" and had damaged trust between police and football fans.
All four of Holyrood's opposition parties pledged to repeal the act in their election manifestos.
However, the Scottish government insists it has "delivered real improvements" in tackling sectarianism.
With the SNP a minority administration, there is a majority in the Holyrood chamber which would back repealing the act.
It was introduced in 2012 in an attempt to crack down on sectarianism and other football-related offences, but critics say there is already sufficient legislation in place to deal with such crimes.
A report published earlier this year revealed there were only 79 convictions in 2014/15 under the legislation, with the Scottish Conservatives saying the figures demonstrated the law was "unnecessary and unworkable".
The Scottish government's Criminal Proceedings in Scotland 2014/15 report stated: "The (2012) Act criminalises behaviour which is threatening, hateful or otherwise offensive at a regulated football match including offensive singing or chanting.
"It also criminalises the communication of threats of serious violence and threats intended to incite religious hatred, whether sent through the post or posted on the internet.
"Numbers are very small (79 convictions in 2014-15) in comparison to the crime type, breach of the peace (15,580 convictions) which they fall into, making up around less than 1%."
There have been a total of 231 convictions since the law was enacted.
Mr Kelly, a longtime critic of the legislation, said the SNP had "arrogantly bulldozed" it through without any cross-party support.
Launching a consultation as the first step towards scrapping the act, the Glasgow MSP said he had the backing of opposition parties, supporters groups, legal experts and academics.
He said: "The SNP's football act has damaged trust between football fans and the police without doing anything to combat sectarianism and intolerance in our country.
"Sectarianism in Scotland has existed for hundreds of years but the government's approach was to try and fix it in 90 minutes.
"Now the SNP have lost their majority in the Scottish Parliament we can scrap the Football Act and get real about tackling sectarianism off the pitch, in our classrooms and communities."
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said she would listen to concerns about the legislation, but said it was a "strange priority for opposition parties to almost have as their first objective to get rid of legislation which is about tackling sectarianism".
And Glasgow Shettleston MSP John Mason lodged a motion at Holyrood claiming that the disorder at the recent Scottish Cup final was proof that the act should be kept.
He said parliament should conclude that "this would not be an appropriate time to relax the law", after Hibs and Rangers fans clashed on the pitch following the Edinburgh club's historic win.
The Scottish government has insisted that the act has "delivered real improvements", with a spokeswoman claiming polls had shown 80% of Scots backing the law.
She said: "Since its introduction, religious crimes, race crimes and crimes in relation to individuals' sexuality are down and we've seen a decrease in crimes of offensive behaviour at or in relation to regulated football matches in Scotland.
"Any move to repeal the Act would send entirely the wrong signal and would undermine progress in driving all forms of prejudice from the game."
The campaign group Fans Against Criminalisation welcomed Mr Kelly's proposals as "the first step in the process to get rid of the expensive, anti-democratic mess that this ill-thought-out and badly-worded legislation has created".
A statement on the group's website said: "We are in the final stages of our five-year battle against the Act and victory is now within our sights."
Scottish Liberal Democrat justice spokesman Liam McArthur said it was time for the law to be "sent for an early bath".
He added: "This legislation was forced through the Scottish Parliament by an SNP government who seemed more concerned about tackling bad headlines than sectarianism.
"The law has been criticised by everyone from fans on the terraces to senior judges. The majority of the legal profession were opposed to the act when it was introduced. Knee-jerk reactions to serious social problems rarely deliver the sort of change we need and that is what we have seen with the OFBA."
"It is time that this law was sent for an early bath."
Mrs May said areas of the internet must be closed because tech giants provided a "safe space" for terrorist ideology.
But the Open Rights Group said social media firms were not the problem, while an expert in radicalisation branded her criticism "intellectually lazy".
Twitter, Facebook and Google said they were working hard to fight extremism.
Google (which owns Youtube) Facebook (which owns WhatsApp) and Twitter were among tech companies already facing pressure to tackle extremist content - pressure that intensified on Sunday.
Mrs May said: "We cannot allow this ideology the safe space it needs to breed.
"Yet that is precisely what the internet, and the big companies... provide."
On ITV's Peston on Sunday, Home Secretary Amber Rudd said an international agreement was needed for social media companies to do more to stop radicalisation.
"One (requirement) is to make sure they do more to take down the material that is radicalising people," Mrs Rudd said.
"And secondly, to help work with us to limit the amount of end-to-end encryption that otherwise terrorists can use," she said.
But the Open Rights Group, which campaigns for privacy and free speech online, warned that politicians risked pushing terrorists' "vile networks" into the "darker corners of the web" by more regulation.
"The internet and companies like Facebook are not the cause of hate and violence, but tools that can be abused.
"While governments and companies should take sensible measures to stop abuse, attempts to control the internet is not the simple solution that Theresa May is claiming," Open Rights said.
Professor Peter Neumann, director of the International Centre For The Study Of Radicalisation at King's College London, was also critical of Mrs May.
He wrote on Twitter: "Big social media platforms have cracked down on jihadist accounts, with result that most jihadists are now using end-to-end encrypted messenger platforms e.g. Telegram.
"This has not solved problem, just made it different... moreover, few people (are) radicalised exclusively online. Blaming social media platforms is politically convenient but intellectually lazy."
However, Dr Julia Rushchenko, a London-based research fellow at the Henry Jackson Centre for Radicalisation and Terrorism, told the BBC that Mrs May was right, and that more could be done by tech giants to root out such content.
She felt that the companies erred on the side of privacy, not security. "We all know that social media companies have been a very helpful tool for hate preachers and for extremists," Dr Rushchenko said.
The online world had been a recruiting aid for foreign fighters, and social media needed "stricter monitoring", both by government agencies and by third party groups that have been created to flag up extremist content.
However, the major social media firms said on Sunday that they were working hard to rid their networks of terrorist activity and support.
Facebook said: "Using a combination of technology and human review, we work aggressively to remove terrorist content from our platform as soon as we become aware of it - and if we become aware of an emergency involving imminent harm to someone's safety, we notify law enforcement. "
Google said it was "committed to working in partnership with the government and NGOs to tackle these challenging and complex problems, and share the government's commitment to ensuring terrorists do not have a voice online".
It said it was already working on an "international forum to accelerate and strengthen our existing work in this area" and had invested hundreds of millions of pounds to fight abuse on its platforms.
Twitter said "terrorist content has no place on" its platform.
"We continue to expand the use of technology as part of a systematic approach to removing this type of content.
"We will never stop working to stay one step ahead and will continue to engage with our partners across industry, government, civil society and academia."
Calling for technology companies to "do more" has become one of the first responses by politicians after terror attacks in their country.
Theresa May's comments on that subject were not new - although the tone was.
She has already proposed a levy on internet firms, as well as sanctions on firms for failing to remove illegal content, in the Conservative party manifesto published three weeks ago.
Given that 400 hours of videos are uploaded onto Youtube every minute, and that there are 2 billion active Facebook users, clamping down on sites which encourage or promote terror needs a lot of automatic detection - as well as the human eye and judgement.
Technology companies such as Microsoft, Google, Twitter and Facebook are all part of an international panel designed to weed out and prevent terror being advocated worldwide.
That involves digitally fingerprinting violent images and videos as well as sharing a global database of users who may be extremist.
The 5-2 winner, ridden by James Doyle for trainer Richard Hannon, triumphed as favourite Churchill finished fourth.
That was the day's second win for Sheikh Mohammed's Godolphin team, after Ribchester took the Queen Anne Stakes, with Sound And Silence successful in the concluding Windsor Castle Stakes.
Meanwhile, filly Lady Aurelia landed the King's Stand Stakes.
Barney Roy was runner-up in the 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket in May to Churchill, who went on to win the Irish version.
But Hannon's colt proved the better of the two this time, winning by a length, with stablemate Thunder Snow in third as the Aidan O'Brien-trained Churchill finished out of the places.
Doyle put his finger to his lips as he passed the winning post - with victory doubly pleasant as it came weeks after Saeed bin Suroor, another Godolphin trainer, had complained of having the jockey imposed on him.
The internal strife at Godolphin, which saw chief executive John Ferguson depart, was a memory and the jockey said: "It's been an up-and-down season and when I knew I'd got the ride on this fellow, I was pretty excited."
On a sweltering day with temperatures reaching 30C, Royal Ascot did not enforce its dress code in the Royal Enclosure, letting racegoers remove jackets for the first time in the event's history.
Favourite Ribchester, ridden by William Buick for trainer Richard Fahey, got the Godolphin ball rolling.
The 11-10 chance won in a course record for the straight mile - 40 years to the day since Sheikh Mohammed celebrated his first winner as an owner.
Ribchester won by a length-and-a-quarter from Mutakayvef, with Deauville in third.
"He has to be the best horse I have ever trained," Fahey said. "He broke the track record here today and that's not being disrespectful to the others, but he is just exceptional."
Michelle Payne, the only female jockey to win the Melbourne Cup, was fifth of the 16 runners on 66-1 outsider Kaspersky as the rider made her Ascot debut.
Rajasinghe (11-1) set another course record, when winning the Coventry Stakes for two-year-old horses.
Jockey Stevie Donohoe, riding for trainer Richard Spencer, got the best of a photo finish from runner-up Headway.
Lady Aurelia ran out a dominant Royal Ascot winner for the second year running.
The 7-2 shot, who won the Queen Mary Stakes last year, landed the King's Stand Stakes this time by three lengths from Profitable for American trainer Wesley Ward.
Winning jockey John Velazquez had few worries as he stepped in for Frankie Dettori who was ruled out of the meeting earluer in the day with an injured shoulder.
Ward said: "Lady Aurelia is very special. To win like this, to duplicate what she did last year - a once-in-a-lifetime horse."
BBC racing correspondent Cornelius Lysaght
Barney Roy's win meant a lot to all concerned. There was a nagging feeling that he had never really had the chance to show his true metal in the 2,000 Guineas, but today he proved what he is worth.
Richard Hannon insisted such a dramatic turning of tables on Churchill, well beaten in fourth, didn't feel so much like revenge as putting the record straight.
But that defeat had clearly been niggling James Doyle whose celebration was, by his feet-on-the-ground standards, quite extravagant. This was only Barney Roy's fourth run: better still can be expected in the future.
Lady Aurelia blew away her rivals in spectacular style to show herself the "world-class sprinter" Wesley Ward told BBC Sport that she was in the run-up.
Ironically, her time was 0.01 seconds outside the course record, so was the only one of the major races not to break the clock. But this was a three-length win, so what would have happened if she had been pressed?
You had to feel for Frankie Dettori. OK, he has won many Royal Ascot races, but being ruled out of such a plum ride on the morning of the race must be galling.
Thomas Hobson, the 4-1 favourite trained by Willie Mullins, won the Ascot Stakes under a cool ride from Ryan Moore.
Mullins is more associated with jump than flat racing but took this race with Moore for the third time in six years, and said afterwards that he would aim the Rich Ricci-owned winner at the Melbourne Cup in November.
Godolphin rounded off a memorable day with a 1-2 in the final race as Sound And Silence beat stablemate Roussel.
It was a second winner of the day for Buick and a first for trainer Charlie Appleby.
"The horses have been in great nick all year and they've had a great preparation," said Buick.
The Queen will travel straight from giving the Queen's Speech and the State Opening of Parliament to attend the second day of racing at Ascot.
Highland Reel heads the runners in Wednesday's feature race, the Prince of Wales's Stakes (16:20 BST).
The five-year-old, who will be ridden by Ryan Moore for trainer Aidan O'Brien, bids to follow up his triumph in the Coronation Cup at Epsom earlier this month.
Highland Reel renews rivalry with Jack Hobbs, having finished last behind the John Gosden runner in unsuitably rain-softened conditions in the Dubai Sheema Classic in March.
Josephine Gordon will bid to become only the second female jockey to ride a winner at the Royal Ascot meeting.
Gay Kelleway, now a trainer herself, triumphed on Sprowston Boy in the Queen Alexandra Stakes 30 years ago.
Gordon, last season's champion apprentice rider, will be on Dream Castle for Godolphin trainer Saeed bin Suroor in the opening Jersey Stakes (14:30 BST).

Trollope succeeded Russell Slade as Bluebirds boss in May and had been working with Wales since July 2015.
He is expected to be replaced in the Welsh set-up by predecessor Kit Symons.
Having been Wales manager Chris Coleman's number two since 2012, Symons left in June 2015 to take charge of Fulham, but the 45-year-old was sacked six month later.
That paves the way for Symons to return to his international role with Coleman, his former Wales and Fulham centre-back partner.
Trollope was with Wales during their historic Euro 2016 campaign, helping his country reach a major tournament semi-final for the first time.
He had been juggling international duties with his club commitments, having joined Slade's coaching team at Cardiff in February 2015.
Slade was removed as manager of the Championship club at the end of last season and was initially given a new role as head of football, but lasted only 28 days in the job before leaving the club.
That allowed former Wales, Derby and Fulham midfielder Trollope to take the reins.
He will be assisted by ex-Cardiff boss Lennie Lawrence - who he worked with at Bristol Rovers - and James Rowberry, while Wales' head of performance Ryland Morgans has joined the Bluebirds as performance director.
Kvitova, 26, and defending champion Belinda Bencic will compete at the pre-Wimbledon tournament.
Bencic, 19, defeated Agnieszka Radwanska in the 2015 final and is currently ranked 10th in the world.
"I think it's the best preparation for Wimbledon and I have some fun memories there," Kvitova said.
The tournament at Devonshire Park takes place the week before Wimbledon from 18-25 June.
Former Red Rose all-rounder Glen Chapple replaced Ashley Giles as head coach at Old Trafford last week.
However, the club are exploring adding options in the shortest format.
"Glen is the head coach but we may find ourselves in a position where we want to look at the possibility of an iconic player or coach for T20 cricket," Allott told BBC Radio Lancashire.
Australia all-rounder James Faulkner and South Africa all-rounder Ryan McLaren have already agreed deals with the club to play in this summer's T20 competition, so any major signing would have to be a coach or non-overseas player.
Former England fast bowler Allott, 60, said they may also add more experience to their squad before the County Championship campaign gets under way on 7 April.
The Division One side will be without South African batsman Alviro Petersen, who is banned for attempting to cover up match fixing, and New Zealand paceman Neil Wagner who has joined Essex.
Opener Haseeb Hameed, wicketkeeper Jos Buttler and seamer James Anderson also look set to spend time with England in the summer.
"It's pretty obvious when you look at our squad we have lost players," Allott added.
"It stands to reason we need some senior experience. It may well be we sign a senior player or two very shortly."
Allott also added they could appoint a director of cricket to work alongside Chapple in the future.
Burnley, Middlesbrough and Brighton enter the penultimate round of Championship fixtures level on 87 points, with only goal difference narrowly separating the trio.
Throw in the prospect of a possible final-day decider between Boro and Brighton, and it promises to be one of the most tense finishes to a second-tier season in recent memory.
BBC Sport analyses the three contenders for automatic promotion, which will be worth a minimum of £99m to the two successful clubs next season.
Remaining fixtures: QPR (h) 2 May, Charlton (a) 7 May
The season in short: Clubs often struggle after relegation from the Premier League, but Sean Dyche has assembled a squad on the verge of returning to the top flight at the first attempt.
Danny Ings left for Liverpool but his replacement, Andre Gray, has scored 22 goals and won the Championship player for the year award, while Joey Barton has added industry to their midfield.
Since entering the top six in the middle of September, the Clarets have not dropped out of the play-off places and are currently on a 21-match unbeaten run in the league (14 wins and seven draws).
Burnley manager Sean Dyche: "We had three games last week and we controlled that well, physically. Nothing's done, but the win at Preston was a big step forward again.
"I've said all along, we focus on our own business. Everyone else can worry about everyone else's business, we just focus on our own."
View from the commentary box - Phil Cunliffe, BBC Radio Lancashire: "I can't see Burnley slipping up, especially as they play already-relegated Charlton in their final fixture.
"Barton's boundless energy from central midfield is the envy of many an opponent 10 years his junior. 'Will and demand' is one of Dyche's stock phrases, and Barton embodies that.
"I expect Gray to add to his 22 goals, but it says a lot about Burnley's strengths that the Football League and Championship Player of the Year is not guaranteed to win the club's own Player of the Year award."
Remaining fixtures: Birmingham (a) 29 April, Brighton (h) 7 May
The season in short: Having lost 2-0 to Norwich in last season's play-off final, Middlesbrough spent big money improving their attacking options to get into the top two places this time round.
A combined £7m was spent on forwards Cristhian Stuani and David Nugent, winger Stewart Downing returned to Teesside in a £5.5m deal, while striker Jordan Rhodes arrived in the January transfer window for an initial £9m.
But it has been Boro's defence which has impressed the most this season, with Aitor Karanka's side conceding a mere 28 league goals - five fewer than any other team in the Championship.
Karanka was reported to be considering his future in March after a training ground row, but the Teesiders are unbeaten in eight games since it was confirmed the Spaniard was staying.
Middlesbrough head coach Aitor Karanka: "We are in an amazing position - I can't understand who could be pessimistic when we are almost at the top of the table.
"Two years ago we were playing to stay in the Championship. Now some people think to be in this position is a negative thing - I can't understand. Everybody has to be pleased with this team and these players."
View from the commentary box - Paul Addison, BBC Tees: "Middlesbrough never make it easy for themselves - it's just not part of the deal.
"Boro remain in a terrific position as the race for the Premier League goes down to the wire, but Burnley and Brighton keep on grinding out the results.
"Last season's play-off heartache is fresh in the minds of the Boro faithful, and a lot of fans I've spoken to fear a repeat of it if they miss out on a place in the top two.
"But the fact remains that if they win their last two they're up - and that's got to be the aim."
Remaining fixtures: Derby (h) 2 May, Middlesbrough (a) 7 May
The season in short: After a relegation battle last season, Brighton started the campaign with a 21-match unbeaten run (11 wins and 10 draws) which laid the platform for their promotion challenge.
Their first defeat, at home by Middlesbrough in December, prompted a five-game run without a victory but Chris Hughton's Seagulls have rallied since then, losing just once since the start of February.
Victories were recorded by narrow margins in the first half of the campaign but mid-season signings Anthony Knockaert and Jiri Skalak have proved crucial during the run-in, helping Brighton significantly improve their goal difference.
Brighton midfielder Beram Kayal: "I have won the league with Maccabi Haifa in Israel and Celtic in Scotland. This is the first time I have been in this situation.
"They told me 87 points would get you promotion from this league. This league is crazy. With the team spirit and confidence we have, I think we can do it."
View from the commentary box - Johnny Cantor, BBC Sussex: "Most Albion fans would have taken a play-off place at the beginning of the season but, with the current form, they are now sensing a top-two finish.
"It has been an emotional campaign for Seagulls fans and players after the Shoreham air crash last August, in which a member of the club's ground staff died, but that day seems to have strengthened their resolve.
"They have suffered the pain of missing out via the play-offs twice in the past three seasons, but know they can avoid a repeat of the post-season drama with two wins.
"It is a tough ask against two top sides but it remains in their own hands." | Most aid groups operating in Nigeria's north-east are wasting funds meant to help victims of the Islamist Boko Haram insurgency, a state governor has said.

The RCN, the largest nursing union, said a combination of pay freezes and caps on rises meant there had been an effective pay cut of 14% since 2010.
The Scottish government said it had applied the pay increases recommended by the independent NHS Pay Review Body.
It said it had also brought in measures to assist the lowest paid.
The latest review of public sector pay announced a 1% rise.
The RCN is asking its 270,000 members whether they want to strike before deciding whether to issue a formal ballot.
They will also be asked if they are interested in other forms of industrial action, such as working only their contracted hours or refusing to do work expected of more senior staff.
The union has said unprecedented pressure in the NHS means nurses have never worked harder, and for so little.
Teresa Fyffe, director for the Royal College of Nursing in Scotland, told BBC Radio's Good Morning Scotland programme some nurses had resorted to using food banks.
"Nurses have had a 14% pay cut since 2010 and we know that nurses are actually feeling tough times with regard to this low pay," she said.
"They are going to use food banks in some cases, they are doing double jobs and we also know that nurses have actually applied to our RCN Foundation for hardship grants. We see that there's been a 50% rise since 2010 - that's 700 nurses across the United Kingdom.
"So overall there is a feeling among nursing, a low morale, a feeling of weariness and a sense that their pay is going down, their work is getting harder and things aren't getting better for them."
She added: "We do note that the Scottish government did make a focus on low pay and that's very important but for all the other nurses who are working within the NHS in Scotland they are living with a 14% pay cut and they are living with a continuing difference in what their pay packet is to the cost of living.
"Members now have he chance to make their voices heard and let us know how they feel about this continuing reduction on their pay."
A spokesman for the Scottish government said: "Unlike other countries, the Scottish government has applied the pay increases recommended by the independent NHS Pay Review Body again this year, supplemented by additional measures to assist the lowest paid and the continuation of the no compulsory redundancy guarantee for all staff.
"This ensures that NHS Scotland staff continue to be the best rewarded and most secure in the UK - a Scottish nurse in the main grade (Band 5) is currently between £227 and £312 per year better off than their English counterpart.
"We appreciate the concerns related to rising inflation and have avoided any formal pay cap at this time."
The spokesman added: "We aim to maintain a good relationship with staff representative bodies in NHS Scotland and are ready to discuss issues of concern with the RCN and others through our agreed partnership arrangements."

Kyle Careford, 20, and Michael Owen, 21, from Tunbridge Wells, died in the crash in Rotherfield Road, Crowborough in East Sussex in April.
The video, released by Sussex Police with the support of the men's families, was filmed on Mr Owen's phone.
Both men died instantly as the Renault Clio crashed into a church wall.
Sussex Police said Mr Careford, who was driving, did not have a licence.
The footage shows the two men laughing and singing, as Mr Owen appears to give his friend a driving lesson.
The car careered off the road just after Mr Owen asked the driver to slow down.
Both men had taken a "cocktail" of prescribed and illegal drugs, police said.
Mr Owen's mother Kat said she "blames" both of the men for the "decisions they made".
"If all this stops one person from making the same mistake, then some good has come from showing this video," she said.
"I'm hoping it will have an impact on young people and make them see that a bit of fun can have such devastating consequences.
"Watching the video was very upsetting, but I'm hoping it can be used in a positive way, by showing young people what could happen to them."
Mr Careford's brother Zac Hemming, added: "This footage or anything of its kind should never be recorded, let alone watched.
"However, despite the pain of it being broadcast by the media, we as a family just hope and pray that this will connect with at least one person out there, young or old, so that no-one ever has to experience the unthinkable pain of losing someone so close and dearly loved."
Police said witnesses reported seeing the car at various times in the hours leading up to the crash.
A taxi driver said he had been forced off the carriageway by a speeding red car on the wrong side of the road.
A woman also witnessed the car doing "doughnuts" in a car park in Crowborough.
BBC Sport takes a look at some of the more offbeat stories from across the English Football League - including the fans who ended up feeling rather pleased the opposition goalkeeper was not shown the red card they begged for.
Score fastest League One goal of the season. Check. Strong start. Check. Game plan ruined. Check. Still win 5-2. Check.
Tom Nichols put Peterborough United ahead after just 26 seconds against Chesterfield, then things went a little wrong.
"I know it sounds weird but the early goal knocked us off what we wanted to do," Peterborough manager Grant McCann told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire.
"Yes, we wanted to start well, but once we scored we sat back and let their two midfielders control the game for 40 minutes."
Two deflected goals in three first-half minutes from Ched Evans and Liam O'Neil saw the struggling Spireites go 2-1 up after 25 minutes.
While Gwion Edwards managed to level for Posh before the break, McCann did not hold back at half-time.
"At half-time I said 'you are so lucky to come in 2-2' - yes it was a great strike from Gwion and good goal from Tom but they dominated us.
"I knew it would happen, they are trying to get out of the bottom four. It was always going to be a tough game. In the second half we showed what we can do."
Teenager Tom Owen-Evans volleyed home the sort of first professional goal dreams are made of.
However, it counted for nothing as Newport County's League Two home game against Morecambe was abandoned at half-time because of a waterlogged pitch.
"We scored an unbelievable goal," Newport manager Graham Westley told BBC Radio Wales Sport.
"It's a sickener for Tom. He's sitting in there holding his head in his hands. He can't believe it's happened to him. He'll score plenty more and plenty more like that.
"It is what it is, the game's off and there's nothing we can do about it."
Oh, and if there was any debating the quality of the goal, even rival manager Jim Bentley felt compelled to comment on the 19-year-old's effort.
"That was a wonder strike by their kid," he told BBC Radio Lancashire.
Not bad praise considering the conditions at Rodney Parade, where Bentley said they "would be better off swimming on it than playing football".
'Off, off, off!' The chant echoed around John Smith's Stadium when Bristol City's Frank Fielding handled outside the area, scuppering a chance for Huddersfield's Nahki Wells.
After referee Keith Stroud consulted his assistant, only a yellow card was brandished. Cue an angry home crowd.
But an error by that very same goalkeeper minutes later, allowing Wells to put the winner into an empty net, was surely enough to leave the Terriers faithful feeling rather chuffed that Fielding did not get his marching orders?
Huddersfield boss David Wagner played it straight after their first Championship win in six games lifted them up to fourth. "It was a clear red card but we have to accept the referee's decision," the German said.
Sure you do.
As for Bristol City head coach Lee Johnson, well he refused to blame his goalkeeper for failing to control the backpass from Korey Smith, which led to the goal.
"He has kept us in games and won us games," Johnson said. "It was a mistake but I don't want to dwell on it."
At the start of November, Rochdale's Calvin Andrew had the ignominy of being served with one of the longest bans in English football history.
Six weeks later, after serving a nine-match ban - having initially been given a 12-game suspension for elbowing Oldham's Peter Clarke - he returned and scored the decisive goal in Dale's 3-2 win over League One leaders Scunthorpe.
The 29-year-old came off the bench on the hour mark and 15 minutes later put his side 3-0 up in a game that eventually finished 3-2.
So, you are the new manager and need to find a way to endear yourself to the fans.
Robbie Neilson certainly gave it a good go in his first home game in charge, leading MK Dons to a historic victory over bitter rivals AFC Wimbledon in their first league meeting.
It also ended MK Dons' 16-match winless league run at home.
"I'm delighted, delighted for the players, the staff, the fans and the owner as well," said Neilson, who left Scottish Premiership side Hearts to take over at MK.
"It was a huge game for us. It had been a long time since the team has won here and it is huge in the history of this club as well."
And the fact it was decided with Dean Bowditch's penalty and AFC Wimbledon were in it until the very end simply made it all the sweeter for the Scot.
"There is nothing better than a huge game like that, when you have not won for a long time, to do it in the manner in which we did. Sometimes in these games if you win 3-0 or 4-0, it doesn't have the same significance of winning 1-0 and really having to work hard for it.
"People putting their bodies on the line, working really hard, closing down, turning people, pressing opponents - if you are winning 3-0 you can have the cigar out for the final half hour, but that was 96 minutes of hard work."

Great Britain captain Kieron Achara, who also played at the London 2012 Olympics, said: "After 2012 lots of people were saying we're missing this guy and we're missing that guy, but we've found a way.

"We know we've got a lot to work on but we'll do it together. Our basketball means a lot to us in the UK and we're not going to give up. Hopefully, UK Sport and the other government bodies can see that we're worth investing in."
Head coach Prunty said that while the defeat by Luxembourg was disappointing, his team had achieved their overall goal of qualifying for the finals.
"This was a hard game, because you've done everything that you can in terms of trying to qualify and now it depends on other results," he said.
"It's a tremendous accomplishment. We have a very good team and the one thing we have to realise is that every single time you step on the floor, you're being evaluated and you have to prove yourself."
All insurers have been ordered to include the previous year's premium in renewal notices, under regulations that began in April.
But the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) said Admiral failed to show exactly what customers had paid.

New regulations, brought in by the FCA, were designed to help insurance customers to shop around and to make the rising or falling price of their insurance clearer.
All insurers have had to include the amount paid the previous year in any renewal documents for insurance such as home and motor cover.
However, Admiral - one of the largest insurers in the UK and a FTSE 100 company - failed to give accurate information.
It gave last year's quoted premium, before discounts were applied, rather than the amount that the customer actually paid, the FCA said.
Jonathan Davidson, of the FCA, said: "It is vital that insurers give customers the right information so they can easily compare premiums and make a choice whether to shop around.
"When introducing these measures, the FCA was clear that firms should be ready from April 2017. We will continue to keep a close eye on the industry's response to ensure firms are complying with the new rules and will take action where necessary."
Admiral, which has offices in Cardiff, Newport and Swansea, has apologised
"We are amending the way in which these customers are able to compare the price of the insurance policy being offered at renewal with what they paid the previous year," a company spokesman said.
"We are getting in touch with affected customers to ensure they are fully satisfied."
The company has refused to say how many people were affected, but the BBC understands it is tens of thousands. If affected customers choose to go to another insurer, they will be able to cancel without penalty and will have their premium refunded.
The FCA has given the company a deadline of August to ensure all renewal notices are correct.
Ian Hughes, chief executive of market research group Consumer Intelligence, said: "Insurance customers aren't quite getting the transparency the FCA envisioned on renewal disclosure.
"We are just over two months into the new era which was supposed to help shopping around and already there are problems with the likelihood of more to come."
"I've had quite a few that didn't go well at all," the Oscar-winning actor told the BBC.
"Once I left the audition and pulled a U-turn on the highway 30 minutes later and returned and barged through the door to say: 'No - I'm doing that again!' - here we go'.
"I didn't get that job."
McConaughey was speaking in London to promote his new animated film, Sing, in which he plays a theatre-owning koala called Buster Moon.
In an attempt to avoid financial ruin, Buster holds a singing competition that attracts hundreds to the X Factor-style audition.
"There's nothing worse than leaving an audition thinking: 'I didn't quite go all the way'," McConaughey added. "That's hard to sleep with."
The Texas-born actor, who won an Oscar for Dallas Buyers Club in 2014, spoke more about his move into voice acting, his mining industry thriller Gold and his forthcoming role in The Dark Tower.
"I changed my voice for it. Buster Moon ends everything on an up note.
"I gave it a punt and went in there and luckily the producers and director liked the angle I had."
"I didn't sing at all in the original script. And then one day the director Garth Jennings said we had this idea that you sing Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepson when you are teaching the Scarlett Johansson character [a punky porcupine called Ash]. He asked: 'Are you up for that?' And I said: 'Yes absolutely - press record'."
"Now I have something that the kids can see. If you look at my films over the last 10 years I haven't made many that eight, seven and four-year-olds can see.
"It's really fun to do. With both of these I was thinking like an eight-year-old. There's something really unpretentious about it and I hope to do more."
"Let's sing this line, let's say this line, let's yell this line, let's whisper this line - let's try it every way possible. And if you screw up so what? Plus, you can come to work in your pyjamas or a three-piece suit if you like."
"They are vastly different characters but both of them are salesmen and both of them are arguably delusionally optimistic. Both of them have nine lives. Both of them are down when they should be out. Both of them pull off great feats when the rest of the world says there's no way that can happen."
We'll be seeing you next in The Dark Tower, based on the Stephen King book. What can fans expect from your role as sorcerer Walter Padick?
"Walter is not the devil but he does fancy himself as such. There are so many ways to be evil. You can do bad things or, as Walter does, expose hypocrisies and let them sink themselves.
"It's a plum role in a wonderful story of multiple worlds. I'm really looking forward to this coming out and I hope we'll be able to do quite a few."
Your True Detective co-star Woody Harrelson has just broadcast his film Lost in London live to cinemas. How mad was he to have done that?
"He's mad anyway. That's what's so wonderful about him. The man is married to adolescence and will never get a divorce, but he's one of the true great wild men in our time. I'm proud of him.
"He took on a great challenge with that and I'm glad he pulled it off."
And it has a joke in it about you.
"Yeah, I saw that - he and Owen Wilson saying: 'Matthew McConaughey doesn't want to see a picture of him looking fat' - but if you go and see Gold you'll see I'm quite fat in that!"
Sing is out on Friday 27 January and Gold is out on 3 February.

A Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check is needed to work with children or vulnerable adults.
The London force has 50,570 outstanding applications. The Met says that is down from 83,000 in April and more people have been brought in to process cases.
One nurse said she lost her job after an eight-month wait for clearance.
A DBS check is supposed to take two to four weeks, with no checks taking longer than 60 days. But just over half of cases - 51.9% - are dealt with within 61 days and on average, it takes 107 days.
This is more than twice as long as the next worst performing police force, North Yorkshire.
The Met handles a significant proportion of DBS cases nationally but it has missed government targets on processing background checks for more than two years.
The current average among police forces in England, Wales and Northern Ireland is 11.8 days.
Its increased workload is said to be down to staff shortages and a surge in numbers of people applying for private hire licences who also need checks.
It means employers are having to cope with vacancies after having agreed to employ someone and individuals are losing income because they cannot start jobs until the checks have been made.
A spokesman for the DBS said: "We rely on the Metropolitan Police as an essential partner in processing the enhanced level element of DBS checks.
"The current delay is of great concern to us and our customers."

The effects are being felt widely in the capital among everyone from health workers, social care workers and teachers to taxi drivers, volunteers and foster carers.
Cathy Kerr, director of adult social services for Richmond and Wandsworth councils, said: "One of our local home care agencies in Richmond borough, a small company providing support to people in their own homes, currently has 37 new recruits waiting for their DBS clearance.
"That has a significant impact on their capacity to support people in their own homes."
Julie Stennett was offered a job heading a team of nurses immunising school children in south London.
While waiting for her DBS certificate to come through, she had to support herself and her teenage daughter using Job Seeker's Allowance and ended up having to use a food bank.
After holding her job for eight months, the NHS trust could not wait any longer.
"I'd been to university, I'd followed the rules and I'd got a job but I still wasn't able to go to Sainsbury's or Tesco's and put food in the trolley. You don't mind going hungry but you don't want your children to go hungry," she said.
She took a free course provided by the Job Centre to allow her to get painting and decorating work to pay the bills, having phoned the DBS repeatedly to explain she was in rent arrears.
"I'm so angry and so upset with the fact that these people just ignored everything I said to them," she said.
The Met has brought in extra people including those on restricted or recuperative duties. Transport for London workers have been seconded to deal with taxi driver applications.
In a statement the Met said: "Looking forward, we have put in place a robust resourcing plan that includes ongoing training, recruitment and productivity measures to ensure we build a resilient, sustainable team.
"The MPS recognises that applicants may be impacted by turnaround times and is working with DBS and the Home Office to make reductions in waiting times; however this needs to be balanced against making thorough checks and lawful disclosures."
Harriet Harman, Labour MP for Camberwell and Peckham, is among those who have been contacted by desperate constituents.
In March, the then Home Secretary Theresa May said in a letter to her: "I maintain a close interest in disclosure turnaround times and very much appreciate the impact that delays can have."
Mrs May said she hoped the letter conveyed "how much of a priority it is for me to resolve this issue as soon as possible".
This week a statement from the Home Office said: "Disclosure and Barring Service checks are an important aspect of public protection for both the voluntary and employment sectors.
"The DBS is working closely with the Metropolitan Police to ensure that their performance improves as quickly as possible."
She retired in October 2015 after serving beverages to dozens of home and away players, managers and journalists at St James' Park since 1963.
The club said she had been "adored by managers, players and staff alike."
Former player and manager Alan Shearer said: "She was devoted to Newcastle, always made me smile and made the very best tea."
When Ms Cassidy retired aged 88 she was a special guest at the club's game against Norwich.
In a statement, Newcastle United said: "We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of the club's legendary tea lady, our beloved Kath Cassidy.
"Kath loyally served the club for half a century and was adored by managers, players and staff alike. She passed away on Monday, aged 90.
"The thoughts of everyone connected with Newcastle United are with Kath's family and friends at this very sad time."
Alan Shearer Tweeted: "So sad to hear the news about Kath.
"She was devoted to Newcastle, always made me smile and made the very best tea! Will miss her."
Other tributes were posted to the club's Twitter feed.
Former player Warren Barton, who became the most expensive defender in English football when he moved to the Magpies for £4m in 1995, described her as "a great lady".
Former Newcastle and England manager Kevin Keegan, who spent two seasons with the club in the 1980s, said Ms Cassidy was "irreplaceable."
Experienced defender Gowling, 33, has played 357 career league games across a 15-year professional career.
Pittman, 30, has scored 68 goals in 256 league games and played with Gowling at Grimsby before he left in 2016.
"As with Josh, Jon-Paul's tasted success at this level," manager Kevin Nicholson told the club website.
"JP is one of the fastest players I have ever played against and he will give us some real thrust going forward."
Gowling meanwhile is a former team-mate of Nicholson's, from their mutual stint time at Kidderminster Harriers.
"Josh is a player I know well," Nicholson said. "He is a leader in every sense of the word and has come here to help create the environment we are going to need to be successful.
"He is a totally-committed and whole-hearted defender, and he will be a fantastic influence on those around him, both in the changing room and on the pitch."
Gowling and Pittman together helped Grimsby back into the Football League in 2015-16.

Damers First School is an existing school in Dorchester but is being relocated to the estate to cater for an extra 150 pupils.
It will be the first school in Poundbury, a so-called "model town" that was started in the 1990s.
The new school, which will cost about £10m, is expected to be finished in December 2016.
Pupils and staff will move to their new premises in the spring of 2017.
Its capacity will rise from 450 to 600 pupils to accommodate what Dorset County Council calls a "significant rise" in its school-age population.
Trevor Jones, county councillor for Dorchester, said: "It's all taken a long time but I'm delighted that we're nearly there."
Patrick Melrose.
Later this year, the Sherlock star will be taking on the role of the "outrageously funny" playboy in a new TV series written by One Day author David Nicholls.
Melrose, commissioned by Sky Atlantic and the US's Showtime network, is based on Edward St Aubyn's five semi-autobiographical Patrick Melrose novels.
The first, Never Mind, was published in 1992, while the final one, At Last, appeared in 2012.
Nicholls will write all five episodes of the show, which is set in the south of France in the 1960s, New York in the 1980s and Britain in the early 2000s.
According to the official announcement, the story "hilariously skewers the upper class as it tracks the protagonist's harrowing odyssey from a deeply traumatic childhood through adult substance abuse, and ultimately, towards recovery".
Cumberbatch will serve as an executive producer through his SunnyMarch production company.
He and production partner Adam Ackland said: "We are delighted to be part of this incredible series. We have been huge fans of these books for many years and David Nicholls' adaptations are extraordinary."
Nicholls said: "I've been a huge admirer of Edward St Aubyn's novels for years, and can't wait to bring these dark, witty, brilliant books to the screen. Benedict is the perfect Patrick Melrose."
Filming is due to start in July.

Samsung's handset division had an estimated operating profit of $5.2bn (£3.4bn) in the second quarter of 2013, according to Strategy Analytics.
Apple's iPhone operating profit was estimated at $4.6bn, with the iPhone range "underperforming".
Total mobile phone shipments were 386 million in the April-to-June period, 4% up on the same time last year.
In all, 27.7% of phones shipped were made by Samsung. Separately, Samsung, which is also the world's biggest TV maker, reported second-quarter profits of $7bn for the entire company.
"This was the mobile phone industry's fastest growth rate since the second quarter of 2012," said Neil Shah, senior analyst at Strategy Analytics.
"Strong demand for entry-level Android devices in Asia and Latin America drove much of the growth. Samsung continued to dominate, shipping 107 million mobile phones worldwide."
At the same time, global smartphone shipments hit 230 million in the quarter, 47% higher than in the same period of 2012. Of those, 33.1% were manufactured by Samsung.
However, Apple's share of the smartphone market, at 14%, was its smallest for three years.
"The current iPhone portfolio is underperforming and Apple is at risk of being trapped in a pincer movement between rival 3-inch Android models at the low-end and 5-inch Android models at the high-end," said Neil Mawston, the research firm's executive director.
He added that Apple's profit margin on handsets had been fading because of "lacklustre" sales for the iPhone 5 and tougher competition from rivals.
"With strong volumes, high wholesale prices and tight cost controls, Samsung has finally succeeded in becoming the handset industry's largest and most profitable vendor."
Neil Harris' Lions took the lead when Joe Martin's shot went in off the post before Shaun Cummings added a second when his cross evaded everyone and went in via keeper Daniel Bentley.
Fred Onyedinma made it 3-0 at half-time by following up Steve Morison's strike.
Morison then played in strike partner Aiden O'Brien to score his 10th goal of the season and seal the three points.
Southend only had one effort on target in the whole game, with David Worrall's acrobatic effort saved by David Forde, as the eight-match unbeaten run by Phil Brown's side was brought to an end.
Millwall manager Neil Harris told BBC Radio London:

"I thought we were outstanding. They've set their standards and that's got to be every week.
"It's not just about the 11 players that started this fixture, it's about the boys that performed brilliantly in the second half the other day, it's about the guys that weren't in the squad today coming back into the fold.
"I'm delighted, I thought from the goalkeeper through to the front line we were excellent and the disappointment was that we didn't score more goals.
"We've got to stick to the same standards, the same discipline when we haven't got the ball."
The Vale of York Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) was branded "inadequate" under a new ratings system.
CCG leader Dr Mark Hayes, a former GP, has stepped down from his role, it has been announced.
Helen Hirst, the CCG's interim accountable officer, said the rating wasn't unexpected, and did not reflect the group's current performance.
"It is widely understood that the CCG is currently in a financial turnaround situation", Ms Hirst said.
The new performance rating was not an indication of the quality or commitment of its staff, she added.
John Lethem, a local GP on the CCG's governing body, said the news would not have "an impact on the treatment and care of patients".
The NHS in Yorkshire and the Humber has overseen the CCG's financial plans since 2015.
In 2013, primary care trusts were abolished and their finances passed on to clinical commissioning groups.
The Vale of York CCG serves a population of about 337,000 people in York, Selby, Tadcaster, Easingwold, Pocklington and surrounding areas.
Staffordshire PC Adam Rushton, 36, also faces three charges of obtaining personal data without consent.
The misconduct charges relate to four occasions between 2007 and 2012, when PC Rushton was serving at Longton police station.
He will appear at Birmingham Magistrates' Court on 13 May.
The charges follow an investigation by the Independent Police Complaints Commission, which was brought in on the case by Staffordshire Police last year.
Brett Gosper, chief executive of governing body World Rugby, says that the 2015 event has been the most commercially successful World Cup to date.
The six-week long event ends with the final at Twickenham on Saturday, 31 October, with the semi-finals this coming weekend.
"The commercial value is up by 50% on 2011," says the 56-year-old Australian, a former professional rugby union player, referring to the increase in revenues from the New Zealand event of four years ago.
"That includes money from sponsors, broadcast revenue - of which the main part is TV rights - and hospitality. All of these areas have done fantastically well. That is all revenue that we reinvest in the game.
Mr Gosper says a strong financial platform has been created by having the team of business partners and sponsors all signed up one-year before the start of the Rugby World Cup, something World Rugby had never managed to do before.
"Without our commercial partners the Rugby World Cup would not exist," he says. "We are grateful for the time and money they put in. [Meanwhile] the sponsors like to be associated with a brand like rugby that is all about character."
He says there will be some £150m accruing from the event to reinvest in the sport around the world, including in new markets for the game.
"We are committed to growing the game in new markets, and promoting the sport beyond our traditional comfort zones," says Mr Gosper, a former advertising and marketing executive on Wall Street.
"We have seen huge growth in Brazil, India, China, Russia. It is also the fastest-growing team sport in the US."
In addition, the current Rugby World Cup has broken all records for online interaction, with more visitors to the official website in the first weekend of the 2015 event than in the whole of the 2011 tournament.
He says that social media interest has soared, and there has also been a strong interest in viewing video clips.
Part of that initial spurt in interest was generated by Japan's victory over South Africa in the first weekend of the World Cup.
Meanwhile, on television viewing numbers, Mr Gosper says that there have been record TV audiences "in traditional markets, but also in new markets".
For example, looking at 2019 Rugby World Cup hosts Japan again, their victory over Samoa was watched by a record national television audience of 25 million viewers.
"Japan got interested in their team on a massive scale. That augurs well for 2019," says Mr Gosper. "I thought because they lost their previous game to Scotland, that interest would wane for the next game, but it actually increased."
As a sign of how the game is reaching into new countries, in one non-core market - Germany, which has never taken part in a Rugby World Cup finals - three million people tuned in to watch the England v Australia group game.
There have been some eight million German viewers for the event overall to date, and that figure is set to increase over the semis and final.
In order to promote the sport, in some geographical TV markets World Rugby has looked to ensure that games were free-to-air as a means of attracting interest, rather than trying to monetise the rights for a premium.
"Our strategy is reach and value. We would rather grow the game than seek short-term gain," he adds.
As well as benefits for the global game, Mr Gosper also said that England's RFU, as the host rugby union, was set to financially benefit from strong ticket sales during the World Cup, as it will retain match gate receipts.
That money will be reinvested in grass roots rugby union.
Some 2.42 million tickets have been sold, exceeding the 2.25 million figure for France RWC 2007, and well outstripping the 1.6 million sold last time round in 2011.
Mr Gosper was speaking to the BBC at the Beyond Rugby conference, part of the Beyond Sport Summit, which seeks to promote the role of rugby in bringing about positive social change worldwide.
"There is no better time to discuss how rugby can create meaningful social change around the world," he says. "We are confident rugby can create jobs, and create social mobility in poorer, less-developed nations."
Mr Gosper, who has been at the helm of World Rugby (formerly the IRB) for three years, says that the sport is experiencing unprecedented global growth.
Globally some 7.2 million people play rugby, including men, women and children. One-fifth of all players are women, and that proportion is higher in the USA.
Meanwhile, some 180 nations play rugby, and 120 of them are members of World Rugby. Ninety of those nations set out on the qualifying stage for the 2015 Rugby World Cup, which was whittled down to the final 20.
The Olympic Games in Rio next year can open further new doors for the sport, with Rugby Sevens included for the first time.
"In Brazil we are a challenger brand to football, but we are tackling that market and there is a real interest in the sport in the country," says the former Racing Club de France player.
"We are determined to leave a legacy, and are going into the schools and favelas with rugby."
He says in the past two years 46,000 more children have been introduced to the game in Brazil.
Meanwhile, it is hoped the 2019 Rugby World Cup will give the sport a greater foothold in Asia, and plans are already being drawn up to help activate that event "through business partners".
"We will make some adjustments to allow more local brands to take part [as sponsors]," says Mr Gosper.
"We will find a way to to generate the involvement of Japanese brands, ones that will sit well with our global partners. That is critical for us."
For now he is hoping that the final four games of this year's event can match the drama that has gone before.
"The Rugby World Cup 2015 has not just met the script we had envisaged, it has gone beyond the script," says Mr Gosper.
"It has been a fantastic, extraordinary, competitive World Cup. It has been compelling and enjoyable on the field, and commercially successful off it."

In his first speech as leader to the party's Welsh conference, Mr Farron questioned the UK government's commitment to green energy schemes.
David Cameron has said the prospect of large subsidies being needed for the lagoon had reduced his enthusiasm.
Lib Dems should also challenge Labour's "sense of entitlement to rule" at the assembly election, Mr Farron said.
"We have been a world leader in this field and maintaining that status is now in jeopardy," he told the conference in Cardiff on Saturday.
"The tidal lagoon is a litmus test for the government. Do you care about this agenda? Or was it all for show?
"For five years we fought sceptical Tories to ensure the coalition was the greenest government ever.
"In the last six months this progress has been unravelled at an alarming pace."
Referring to Mr Cameron's visit to a Norwegian glacier in 2006 to underline his green credentials, Mr Farron said "the huskies, kind of shot by Cameron ages ago when their usefulness to him had run its course, will be turning in their graves".
He added: "It is shameful that the work we began in coalition to deliver this is being unpicked."
The proposals in Swansea are for 16 turbines, placed roughly a mile out to sea, to generate 320 megawatt of power - which would then be converted into electricity.
In January, BBC Wales heard there were reservations relating to the proposed lagoon's modelling and turbine engineering.
But Tidal Lagoon Power said questions on the engineering and environmental impact had been addressed in depth.
In his speech, Mr Farron also accused the Welsh Labour government of failing to deliver in its 17 years in office.
He said: "We need to challenge Labour's arrogant sense of entitlement to rule.
"They act like they are the landlords of Wales, that you have no right to vote any other way. We will not have that."
On the European referendum, he said: "Given the scale of international challenges of a global economy, climate change and the refugee crisis - are we better to face these together or alone?
"They are the real questions, and they are no brainers.
"If you want a Britain that is prosperous, secure, a Britain that matters, then you are voting to keep Britain in Europe."
On the refugee crisis, Mr Farron said Prime Minister David Cameron should take in 3,000 child refugees from Syria,
"Do the right thing, do the British thing and do it now," he said.
He said Jeremy Corbyn's Labour was "now without doubt the most useless opposition in the history of British politics".
After lunch, Welsh Liberal Democrat leader Kirsty Williams said the blame for devolution's failure to deliver better services should be laid at the door of a "tired, bankrupt" Labour Party.
She cited a proposal to ban e-cigarettes in public places while NHS waiting times remain high as an example of the Welsh Labour ministers' wrong priorities.
"In creating the Welsh government, we were promised a new politics in touch with our communities, a politics in which Wales takes responsibility for its own decisions," Ms Williams said.
"But above all else, we were promised better outcomes. Yet this government fails to even get the basics right."
She added: "There's nothing. This government is tired, it has nothing to offer. It's bankrupt of ideas."
She accused First Minister Carwyn Jones of having "the air of a man who's winging it".
Earlier, opening the morning session, the party's economy spokeswoman Eluned Parrott said it was essential to end Welsh Labour ministers' "chocolate box politics which offers a shiny new name for the same hackneyed old ideas".
"The Welsh Liberal Democrats call for a new direction: a long term, internationalist, economic plan which fixes the foundations, brings balanced growth to our economy, and allows our deeply rooted industries and enterprises to grow and develop," she said.
The Liberal Democrats currently have 5 AMs, but opinion polls suggest they could lose ground in May's election.
The party also announced that Judith Woodman, opposition leader on Cardiff council, was the Lib Dem's south Wales candidate in the police and crime commissioner elections, also taking place on 5 May.
In the wake of the general election result, the Lib Dems have done plenty of soul searching and have come up with a strategy that strips away anything that is deemed surplus to requirements.
So gone is talk of the constitution - I'm told Kirsty Williams hasn't mentioned further powers for Wales once in any of her recent speeches - and the same goes for any talk of future coalitions.
The internal politics in Cardiff Bay is considered a distraction as we head into the business end of an assembly campaign.
Instead there will be what they call a relentless focus on public service delivery, and in particular smaller class sizes and more nurses.
It's all about policies that can be explained in a sentence or two on the doorstep. Will it be enough?
We now all know what a Lib Dem disaster looks and feels like after last year.
The challenge is simple: stop history repeating itself in Wales.

Halewood Academy in Knowsley says its sixth form is not financially viable and has announced it should be shut.
But its closure would mark the end of the last A-level places in the borough.
Parents at the school who are protesting say: "This is letting down the children of this community."
On Wednesday, school principal Gary Evans said that parents would be told of the outcome as soon as the decision is reached this week.
Last month the governors at Halewood Academy announced that the sixth form should be closed because of funding cuts which made it financially unsustainable to continue with a sixth form for about 80 students.
Since this was the last remaining school in the borough offering A-levels, it would mean the entire A-level provision in Knowsley, in Merseyside, would cease, and pupils would have to seek places in schools in other authorities.
The local authority said that since this was an academy, it could not intervene in the decision.
A consultation on the proposed closure ended at the weekend - and there will now be a final decision.
Mr Evans says that the academy has been "working hard with Knowsley Council to ensure that individual pupils are catered for as a result of the decision to close the sixth form in August 2017".
Knowsley already has among the lowest university entry rates in England - and parents have warned about how this could block the ambitions of their children.
"This is letting down the children of this community. There are people who want to go to university, lots of kids who want to do well," says Vanessa Pointon, a parent at the school.
Sir Peter Lampl, chairman of the Sutton Trust which campaigns for social mobility, said: "It is important that young people have the opportunity to access a good choice of A-levels wherever they live."
Despite funding challenges, it was "crucial" that "such choices aren't curtailed", said Sir Peter.
It has also raised questions about how local provision will be protected if all schools are autonomous academies or academy chains.
"Who is accountable? Nobody knows. Who do we get in touch with?" says Ms Pointon, who is part of a parents' campaign to save the sixth form.
A spokeswoman for Knowsley council said: "Whilst we, as the local authority, do work with all our local academies to help them improve education standards, as an academy the school is ultimately accountable to the regional school commissioner, and not the local council."
The Department for Education says that if the school goes ahead with the closure it will still have to be scrutinised by education officials.
"It must make the case to the Education Funding Agency and the regional schools commissioner that post-16 provision in the area would not be adversely affected by the closure before it can be given permission to close it," said an education department spokesman.
The education select committee, which earlier this year published a report questioning the transparency of the role of regional schools commissioners, replied on Wednesday to the government's response.
Neil Carmichael, committee chairman said: "Regional schools commissioners play a powerful role in our educational system, but their work is not widely understood.
"Whilst the committee welcomes the government's moves to improve the accountability of regional schools commissioners, there is still a long way to go, particularly in terms of transparency and oversight."
Lee Goddard, 40, from Hambridge, pleaded guilty to opening Slabgate sluice between 20 and 23 December.
Taunton Magistrates' Court heard his actions caused an estimated 45,000 cubic metres of water to head towards the village of Thorney.
Goddard claimed he had wanted to divert flood water away from his property.
Prosecutors said the effect of Goddard's actions had caused the water levels in Thorney to rise.
However, they said it could not be known whether this had then directly caused damage to properties in the village.
The private prosecution was brought by the Parrett Internal Drainage Board. By opening the sluice gate, Goddard breached a local by-law and the Land Drainage Act.
Speaking after the court case, Nick Stevens, from the drainage board, said: "If this kind of activity were undertaken across the whole of Somerset, it would be anarchy and that's not how we manage flood risk in Somerset."
Goddard was also ordered to pay £1,500 for the prosecution costs and the cost of repairing the sluice gate.
Large parts of the Somerset Levels were battered by storms during the 2013-14 winter months with hundreds of people evacuated from their homes.

Town, who have won their last three games, are fourth in the Championship, 10 points behind leaders Newcastle.
"There have been a lot of rumours around my future in the media and although I don't believe I should be the story, I cannot stay silent on this matter," Wagner said.
"It is correct that there has been interest from a few Bundesliga clubs. They have obviously seen the way we are going at Huddersfield Town and the journey we have been on together over the last 12 months.
"It's important for me to clarify that my focus is on moving forward at Huddersfield Town."
Huddersfield led the table in October and have been one of the surprise packages of the campaign, having finished 19th last season.
Wolfsburg, who reached the Champions League quarter-finals last season, are 15th in Germany's top flight.
Wagner has previously been linked with managerial vacancies at Championship rivals Aston Villa and Bundesliga club Ingolstadt this season.
"Huddersfield Town may not be a Bundesliga club or one that plays in European competition, but make no mistake - we are a serious, proud, ambitious club with a rich history," chairman Dean Hoyle said.
"Perhaps this isn't clear to some of our colleagues in the media in Germany considering the tone of some articles that were published over the last 48 hours.
"We are not to be toyed with or dismissed out of hand. We have values and always conduct ourselves in the right manner; something that cannot be said for other clubs.
"I think David's ongoing commitment to Huddersfield Town is testament to this club and its standing. He's turned down several advances from Bundesliga clubs during his time here, the latest coming very, very recently."
The Terriers are next in action when they host Nottingham Forest on Boxing Day.
The 102-turbine farm, off Walney Island, was developed by Danish energy company Dong Energy.
It created 60 jobs at the firm's operations centre in Barrow.
It was built in two phases with the second set of 51 turbines completed in six months - a record for the wind farm sector.
Benj Sykes, from Dong Energy, said: "Walney is the first project in the UK to be backed by institutional investors before it was built, a confidence justified by the speed and efficiency of the construction."
Barca will pay an initial 105m euros (£96.8m) for the France international, 20, who has agreed a five-year contract and will undergo a medical on Monday.
The deal is eclipsed only by Neymar's recent £200m move to Paris St-Germain.
Barca revealed that his deal will contain a release clause of 400m euros.
Dembele has not featured for Dortmund since the German Super Cup on 5 August. The German side rejected a bid from Barca for the forward earlier in August, with the player then suspended for missing training.
Dortmund said they rejected Barca's approach because their offer "did not correspond to the extraordinary footballing and additional value of the player and the present economic situation of the European transfer market".
With regard to the fee now agreed, Dortmund said in a statement that the payment of add-ons "was agreed up to a maximum total amount of approximately 40% of the fixed transfer fee".
Barca have failed with three bids for Liverpool midfielder Philippe Coutinho, with their most recent offer of £114m turned down last Friday.
Luis Suarez's transfer from Liverpool in 2014 is officially their most expensive purchase, at £75m.
However, Barca president Josep Maria Bartomeu has previously that said "the overall cost of the operation" to sign Neymar from Brazilian club Santos in 2013 was "over 100m euros (£92m)", despite the transfer fee having been disclosed as £48.6m.
Last season, Dembele scored 10 goals and provided 21 assists as Dortmund finished third in the Bundesliga and won the German Cup, also reaching the Champions League quarter-finals.
He joined Dortmund from French side Rennes on a five-year deal in May 2016, having been voted Ligue 1 young player of the year for the 2015-16 season, when he scored 12 goals and made five assists.
Demeble made his senior France debut in 2016, the only goal in seven caps to date coming in a 3-2 friendly victory over England in June.
He was left out of the France squad for September's World Cup qualifiers against the Netherlands and Luxembourg, with manager Didier Deschamps explaining on Thursday: "Ousmane hasn't trained for a fortnight and he's waiting to see if the transfer will go ahead or won't go ahead."
2017 - Neymar £200m (Barcelona to Paris St-Germain)
2017 - Ousmane Dembele £135.5m (Dortmund to Barcelona, subject to completion)
2016 - Paul Pogba £89m (Juventus to Manchester United)
2013 - Gareth Bale £85m (Tottenham Hotspur to Real Madrid)
2009 - Cristiano Ronaldo £80m (Manchester United to Real Madrid)
By John Bennett, BBC World Service:
Of course the transfer fee is astonishing but former team-mates and former coaches will tell you that Ousmane Dembele has the potential to be a Ballon d'Or winner.
They mention his extraordinary acceleration on the ball, they rave about how two-footed he is (his right foot is supposed to be stronger than his left but it's very close) and they talk about his extraordinary skills, touch and close control.
His former manager at Rennes, Rolland Courbis, actually claims that Dembele could have joined Barcelona last summer but turned them down. He says they offered more money than Borussia Dortmund but the French youngster chose to go to Germany.
His change of heart now may have a lot to do with Neymar's departure offering more guaranteed game time in a World Cup year. Filling the Brazilian's boots will come with a lot of pressure but Dembele has the quality to make that spot his own.
Murray, 32, was twice knocked down by body shots in the fourth but showed bravery to take the undefeated champion past 10 rounds for the first time.
The Kazakh also floored Murray in the 10th and the referee stopped it with 50 seconds left in the penultimate round.
Golovkin, also 32, now has 29 knockouts from 32 professional fights.
His knockout percentage was already the highest of any world middleweight champion in history.
It is the third time Murray has come up short challenging for a world title - he was unlucky only to draw with Germany's Felix Sturm in 2011 and was narrowly outpointed by Argentina's Sergio Martinez in 2013.
But on this occasion there could be no complaints, with Golovkin pushing the challenger on the back foot from the opening exchanges and never letting up.
Murray actually looked comfortable in the early rounds, despite spending a lot of time on the ropes, until the champion landed with a chopping right hand at the end of round three.
Having softened Murray up, Golovkin had him down with twice in round four courtesy of right hands to the body and the challenger did well to survive.
Murray rallied in the middle rounds, landing with some smart shots on the inside and at least keeping Golovkin honest.
But an overhand right floored Murray again towards the end of the 10th and with the challenger reeling on the ropes in the following round, Luis Pabon stepped in.
Golovkin has now won 19 fights in a row inside the distance and with little left to prove at 160lb, he might choose to step up to super-middleweight.
Puerto Rican great Miguel Cotto is the WBC champion at 160lb but, unsurprisingly, does not seem interested in facing the devastating Golovkin.
Britain's Carl Froch, the WBA champion, is unlikely to want to face Golovkin in his final fight this summer but American Andre Ward could be tempted.
Ward is unbeaten in 27 professional contests but has not fought since 2013 because of a dispute with his promoter, which has now been resolved.
Murray, who falls to 29 wins and two defeats from 32 fights, still has options at middleweight and will surely fight for a world title for a fourth time.
Michael Fallon said he was worried about "pressure" from Russian President Vladimir Putin on the ex-Soviet states, which are Nato members.
Russia might use tactics there similar to those it used in Ukraine, he said.
Shadow foreign secretary Douglas Alexander told the BBC he too had "very real concerns" about the situation.
Mr Fallon's comments came after PM David Cameron called on Europe to tell Russia it faced economic and financial consequences for "many years to come" if it did not stop destabilising Ukraine.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Defence has said RAF jets were scrambled on Wednesday after two Russian military aircraft were seen off the Cornwall coast.
Speaking to journalists from the Times and Daily Telegraph during a flight to Sierra Leone, where British troops are helping tackle the Ebola outbreak, Mr Fallon said: "I'm worried about Putin.
"I'm worried about his pressure on the Baltics, the way he is testing Nato."
He said Nato must be prepared for aggression from Russia "in whatever form it takes" - because Russia was likely to use covert tactics such as those he said it had used to annex Crimea and during the current Ukraine conflict.
Russia has denied helping pro-Russian separatists, but it has been repeatedly accused of sending weapons and troops and using propaganda to inflame tensions.
Jonathan Marcus, BBC defence and diplomatic correspondent
The comments from Defence Secretary Michael Fallon are an indication of a fundamental shift in the Nato perception of the crisis in Ukraine.
Nato governments clearly believe that what began as a localised Ukraine problem that strained ties with Moscow has now become a Russia problem, and a Russia problem that is likely to persist for some time.
Ukraine is thus seen as a manifestation of a much broader policy shift on the part of the Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Mr Fallon's belief that there is indeed a potential threat to Nato territory - in particular the Baltic Republics - is widely shared; hence Nato's desire to underline in the most emphatic terms that its security guarantees to its members will be honoured in full.
Mr Fallon went on: "When you have jets being flown up the English Channel, when you have submarines in the North Sea, it looks to me like it's [the situation is] warming up," he said.
Mr Cameron warned that rebels in eastern Ukraine were using Russian military hardware, pointing out: "You can't buy this equipment on eBay, it hasn't come from somewhere else, it's come from Russia and we know that."
He added that one of the principles of Nato - which is made up of 26 European countries as well as the US and Canada - is that an "attack against one or several members is considered as an attack against all".
Elsewhere, Admiral Lord West, a former First Sea Lord and Nato commander, said it was important Nato "stands united at this dangerous and difficult moment".
It could not afford to let a line in the sand be crossed if Russia interfered with the Baltic states, he said.
The UK Joint Delegation to Nato tweeted that Russia had deployed the country's "most advanced anti-aircraft artillery system" in Ukraine.
Juan Manuel Santos said a new agreement could be better than Colombia's current free trade deal with the EU.
Interviewed for Sunday's edition of the BBC's Andrew Marr Show, Mr Santos said there was an opportunity for greater UK trade with emerging markets.
Mr Santos held talks with Prime Minister Theresa May at Downing Street last week during his state visit.
At the time he said Colombia, Chile, Peru and Mexico - the Pacific Alliance free trade bloc - represented a "huge opportunity for British business".
He told the BBC: "What I said to Prime Minister May is, 'listen, we are ready to simply have a free trade agreement with the UK and have the same conditions or even improved', because many times in free trade agreements with a group of countries some countries object to some issues and maybe we can even go further."
However, he stressed that no negotiations would take place until the UK had confirmed its eventual economic relationship with the EU.
The UK and Colombia's trading relationship was worth £1bn last year and the Mr Santos and Mrs May announced a new oil and gas partnership after their meeting.
Mrs May also said she wanted Colombian businesses to see the UK as a leading hub for finance, innovation, research and development.
Small business' concerns are growing that the domestic economy will weaken.
The first survey by the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) since the Brexit vote suggests the second largest fall in confidence in the index's history.
It is the third quarter in a row that confidence has fallen.
"The political shock of the Brexit result has taken place at a time of weakening business confidence," said FSB national chairman Mike Cherry.
The FSB surveyed 1,035 small firms between July and August.
The results suggested business confidence fell into negative territory for the first time since 2012, with pessimistic business owners outnumbering confident ones.
But the FSB said there were "many positive signs" of small businesses proving resilient, in spite of a fragile economic outlook in the longer term because of Brexit political uncertainty.
The number of small companies aspiring to grow over the year climbed to 55%, the highest level since the end of 2015.
Meanwhile, the number of firms expecting to downsize, close or hand on the business fell to 11%.
"Small firms are resilient and will survive the current fragile economic outlook, but to avoid an economic slowdown this data should be a wake-up call for our elected politicians," said Mr Cherry.
He added: "We look to the party conferences and upcoming Autumn Statement to green-light infrastructure projects at local and national level, to simplify the tax system and to help reduce the costs of doing business."
Last month, a survey by the CBI business lobby group said that small and medium-sized manufacturers fear they will be hit by a fall in orders in the next quarter.
It indicated that business optimism had fallen at its fastest rate since January 2009, driven by the uncertainty following June's Brexit vote.
Raiders took the machine from inside a branch of Nat West, in Main Street, Heslington, near York at about 02:30 BST .
North Yorkshire Police said the machine was loaded on to a truck and driven away before the thieves escaped in a black Jaguar.
The digger, which was reported stolen on Wednesday, was left at the scene.
A force spokesman said "extensive enquiries" are ongoing and appealed for witnesses to the raid to come forward.

More than 200 of the spherical bombs were tested at Loch Striven during World War Two but were never used.
Members of the British Sub-Aqua Club and the Royal Navy will attempt to lift two of them.
The recovered bombs will then be displayed at the de Havilland Aircraft Museum in Hertfordshire and at the Brooklands Museum in Surrey.
The prototype bombs, which were never used operationally, do not contain any explosives.
Highball was the military codename for the weapons, a naval version of the "Upkeep" bouncing bombs used in the Dambusters raid in May 1943.
It was one of five bombs developed by Sir Barnes Wallis and was designed to be used against ships.
Iain Murray, a trustee of the Barnes Wallis Foundation, told the BBC: "The main purpose of developing Highball was to attack the battleship Tirpitz which was moored in the Norwegian fjords.
"Unfortunately it was located in an awkward position so it was difficult to attack using Highball and it was ultimately attacked using midget submarines.
"Subsequently the Highball squadron moved to the Pacific with the intention of attacking Japanese warships, but the war came to an end before that could actually happen."
The bombs will be sent to two English aviation museums after conservation, completing the full set of Barnes Wallis bouncing bombs on public display.
Divers have been working for about seven years to devise a salvage plan since first surveying the loch. They will be helped by the Royal Navy, who are providing a ship and a crane for the lift.
The British Sub-Aqua Club is sending divers from Cheshire, Tyneside, Dundee, Cannock, London and Swindon.
Lindsay Brown, a member of the Dundee Sub-Aqua Club who is taking part in the salvage operation, said: "They're of an an age, of a technological innovation, that we'll possibly never see again.
"I feel that it shouldn't just be divers that are allowed to see these objects so I'm really glad that we're bringing a couple up so that other people have the chance to see part of our brilliant history."
Artist Anthony McCall designed Column, a spiral of steam that should have risen 10km (six miles) into the sky.
Arts Council England has spent £535,000 of Lottery money on the project, which was due to have run throughout 2012 as part of the Cultural Olympiad.
The Arts Council rejected accusations that it was a waste of money.
McCall said: "It is with profound disappointment that we have decided to draw our project to a close.
"My team has worked long and hard but, due to the many regulatory and technical challenges, we have not been able to bring Column to completion."
Column was originally due to launch on 31 December 2011 and run for exactly 12 months.
The steam spiral should have risen from East Float dock in Birkenhead and been visible for at least 100km (62 miles) on a clear day, becoming a "nationally and internationally recognised landmark", according to the organisers' original proposals.
But it was repeatedly delayed. The Civil Aviation Authority was worried that it would interfere with aircraft and the Port Health Authority had concerns that it could cause Legionella.
Even after those fears were allayed, the steam-generating mechanism did not work properly and the column still did not appear.
Such vertical steam spirals occur occasionally in nature, when they are known as waterspouts, but nobody has managed to recreate one on this scale by man-made means.
The budget for McCall's project was originally £500,000, including a £40,000 fee for the artist. The budget subsequently rose by £35,410. None of the money will be recouped.
Councillor Jim Crabtree, who represents Bidston and St James on Wirral Borough Council, said it was "a complete and utter waste of public money".
"They should have done their homework before committing £500,000, especially given what we've got going on today - people starving, we've got food banks all over the place. How many people could you feed with £500,000?"
Arts Council England executive director Laura Dyer said she was "disappointed" that the artwork had not been completed but that there was always a risk in commissioning groundbreaking artworks and that in a "very small number of cases" the risk would not come off.
"What became clear, in discussion with the artist and his project team, was that it just couldn't be done within the budget or the timescale on this site," she told BBC News. "I think there comes a point where you have to say we really tried, we worked hard to realise it, but it can't be done."
The Arts Council supervised the project adequately, she said. "We have had milestones along the way where we've managed and monitored the project.
"It is a project that was visionary and testing new approaches and new technical equipment. We did monitor that appropriately along the way but in the end it wasn't able to deliver the vision of the artist."
The project was originally announced in 2009, when the Arts Councils across the UK commissioned 12 artworks to coincide with the London 2012 Olympics.
McCall's plan was chosen from 172 entries for the Artists Taking the Lead project in the north-west. Elsewhere in the UK, the other 11 Artists Taking the Lead commissions - ranging from a set of three crocheted lions in the East Midlands to a new football pitch created in a forest in the Scottish Borders - have all appeared.
Ms Dyer added that every other Cultural Olympiad event went ahead as planned and that most of the money spent on Column had gone into the local economy. "So the investment has been into the region," she said.
"The final project, in all its magnificence, hasn't been realised, but it absolutely is not a waste of money."
The British-born, New York-based Anthony McCall is an internationally renowned artist who is known for using mist, light and projection to create ethereal "sculptures" in mid-air.

Operations director John Stoddard, 41, was killed at the Higher Kings plant at Cullompton, Devon, in 2011.
Exeter Crown Court heard DS Smith Paper had failed to act on 73 urgent safety recommendations from a report compiled 11 months earlier.
The company admitted failing to ensure safe working.
Mr Stoddard died instantly when he was pulled into a production line from an upstairs platform as he tried to smooth down paper which was passing through it.
The father-of-two was killed 11 months after a firm of consultants had made a series of safety recommendations which were not implemented.
These included 33 areas of very high risk which should have been addressed within 24 hours and 40 of high risk which should have been rectified within a week.
Judge Francis Gilbert QC said it was a "serious aggravating feature" that the company had failed to act on the report.
The judge said: "If the company had corrected the hazardous feature which was later described by their own expert, this fatality would not have occurred.
"The Health and Safety Executive concluded that the risk to operators from thin moving machinery was obvious.
"They say the failure to address so many area of high or very high risk was a failure at the highest level of the company."
Mr Simon Antrobus, defending, said the company accepted full responsibility and offered a public apology from chief executive Miles Roberts to Mr Stoddard's family.

The event in Norway's capital follows attacks against Jews in Europe, including in Paris in January and in Denmark last week.
There was a large crowd of onlookers, from a number of religions.
"We want to demonstrate that Jews and Muslims do not hate each other," co-organiser Zeeshan Abdullah told crowds in front of the synagogue on Saturday.
"We do not want individuals to define what Islam is for the rest of us. There are many more peace-mongers than warmongers."
Norway's Chief Rabbi Michael Melchior sang the traditional Jewish end of Sabbath song outside the synagogue.
It was the first time co-organiser Hassan Raja had heard the song, he said.
Ervin Kohn, head of Oslo's Jewish community, described the event as "unique".
Hajrah Arshad, another of the eight organisers of the event, said it showed "that Islam is about love and unity".
In Paris, three Muslim gunmen killed 17 people at a kosher grocery, the offices of weekly Charlie Hebdo and elsewhere in early January.
A Jewish security guard at a synagogue and a Danish filmmaker attending a free speech were killed in Copenhagen last week.

The CCTV image of Janet MaKay was from about 13:30-14:00 on Wednesday 16 September - the day she went missing - on Glasgow Road, Clydebank.
Ms McKay, of Knightswood, got off the M11 First Bus onto Glasgow Road.
Police have urged people in Clydebank and the surrounding area to check their gardens and outbuildings for her.
Ch Insp John McBride said: "This is the first confirmed sighting of Janet since she went missing, and it would appear she has travelled to the Clydebank area.
"Although this CCTV sighting is a week ago, when she went missing, I need people to help us, cast your mind back, did you see a woman fitting Janet's description in those areas?
"Can you help with any information, however insignificant you might feel it is? Please call police immediately on 101."
Officers returned to the Knightswood area on Wednesday to speak to pedestrians and motorists.
Police have also issued images of a light cream jacket and brown handbag Ms McKay had when she went missing.
She is also believed to have been wearing dark trousers, dark maroon boots and could possibly have had a pink jacket with her.
Ms McKay is described as white, 4ft 10in tall, with a slight build and short grey/white hair.
Her family are increasingly concerned for her wellbeing.
Daughter Rhona Walters said: "A week has passed and mum hasn't had any medication. Obviously there are implications with that.
"Her doctors have said she was good for about a week and after that it will give us a bit of concern.
"Anyone out there, please be vigilant for an elderly lady, whether my mother or not, who is in a distressed state or confused."
Ch Insp John McBride added: "Her family are devastated and very distressed at her disappearance, and just want to get her home safe and well as soon as possible.
"We've been co-ordinating a number of searches in areas that Janet may be or have travelled to, but unfortunately these have proved unsuccessful.
"The support we've received from the local community and beyond has been a great help, and thousands of people have shared her image online along with the appeal."
He said police had been working with bus companies as Ms McKay was known to travel around the city centre as well as around Knightswood, Scotstoun and Govan, and further afield to the Largs and Helensburgh areas.
Ch Insp McBride reiterated an appeal for bus users to keep an eye out for her.
"We've also circulated Janet's image and description to the charity Missing People, who have been able to issue this image to Royal Mail delivery staff via their handheld personal digital assistants and they are arranging for her image to be displayed in their digi-boards in train stations," he added.
"I would like to strongly reiterate our appeal to the public, please help us by sharing Janet's image online. If you live in the areas that Janet was last seen or in an area she may have travelled to, please check any outbuildings or sheds you might have as she may have taken refuge in there."
Assyrian and Babylonian - dialects of the language collectively known as Akkadian - have not been spoken for almost 2,000 years.
"This is a heroic and significant moment in history," beamed Dr Irving Finkel of the British Museum's Middle East department.
As a young man in the 1970s Dr Finkel dedicated three years of his life to The Chicago Assyrian Dictionary Project which is based at the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago.
That makes him something of a spring chicken in the life story of this project, which began in 1921.
Almost 90 experts from around the world took part, diligently recording and cross referencing their work on what ended up being almost two million index cards.
The Chicago Assyrian Dictionary is 21 volumes long and is encyclopaedic in its range. Whole volumes are dedicated to a single letter, and it comes complete with extensive references to original source material throughout.
It all sounds like a lot of work for a dictionary in a language that no-one speaks anymore.
It was "often tedious," admits Prof Matthew W Stolper of the Oriental Institute, who worked for many years on the dictionary - but it was also hugely rewarding and fascinating, he adds.
"It's like looking through a window into a moment from thousands of years in the past," he told the BBC World Service.
The dictionary was put together by studying texts written on clay and stone tablets uncovered in ancient Mesopotamia, which sat between the Tigris and the Euphrates rivers - the heartland of which was in modern-day Iraq, and also included parts of Syria and Turkey.
And there were rich pickings for them to pore over, with 2,500 years worth of texts ranging from scientific, medical and legal documents, to love letters, epic literature and messages to the gods.
"It is a miraculous thing," enthuses Dr Finkel.
"We can read the ancient words of poets, philosophers, magicians and astronomers as if they were writing to us in English.
"When they first started excavating Iraq in 1850, they found lots of inscriptions in the ground and on palace walls, but no-one could read a word of it because it was extinct," he said.
But what is so striking according to the editor of the dictionary, Prof Martha Roth, is not the differences, but the similarities between then and now.
"Rather than encountering an alien world, we encounter a very, very familiar world," she says, with people concerned about personal relationships, love, emotions, power, and practical things like irrigation and land use.
The ancient Greeks, Romans and Egyptians are far more prominent both in the public consciousness and in school and university curriculums these days.
But in the 19th Century it was Mesopotamia that enthralled - partly because researchers were looking for proof of some of the bible stories, but also because its society was so advanced.
"A lot of the history of how people went from being merely human to being civilised, happened in Mesopotamia," says Prof Stolper.
All sorts of major advances are thought to have their earliest origins there, and - crucially - Mesopotamia is believed to be among three or four places in the world where writing first emerged.
The cuneiform script - used to write both Assyrian and Babylonian, and first used for the Sumerian language - is, according to Dr Finkel, the oldest script in the world, and was an inspiration for its far more famous cousin, hieroglyphics.
Its angular characters were etched into clay tablets, which were then baked in the sun, or fired in kilns.
This produced a very durable product, but it was very hard to write, and from about 600BC, Aramaic - which is spoken by modern-day Assyrians in the region - began to gain prominence, simply because it was easier to put into written form, researchers believe.
With the dictionary now finally complete, "there are mixed emotions", says Prof Roth.
"As someone who has been so deeply engaged every day of the last 32 years with this project, there is a sizeable chunk of my scholarly identity that feels like it is going to be missing for a while," she told the BBC World Service.
"It's a great achievement and a source of pride," adds Prof Stolper.
"It was like a living thing that grew older and changed its attitudes, that made mistakes and corrected them.
Now that it's done, it's a monument, grand and imposing, but at rest".
But those involved most closely in the dictionary, are also the first to stress its limitations.
They still do not know what some words mean, and because new discoveries are being made all the time, it is - and always will - remain a work in progress.
Prof Stolper for one says he is stepping aside; any future updates or revisions would be best done by "fresh minds" and "fresh hands", he believes.
The entire dictionary costs $1,995 (£1,230; 1,400 euros), but is also available for free online - a far cry from the dictionary's low-tech beginnings.
Turning philosophical, Dr Finkel reflects on the legacy of our own increasingly electronic age, where so much of what we do is intangible.
"What is there going to be in 1,000 years' time for lunatics like me, who like to read ancient inscriptions - what are they ever going to find?" he asks.
"They will probably say that there was no writing - it was a dark age, that people had forgotten it, because there may be nothing left."
Departments judged inadequate by Ofsted will be given six months to improve and then be taken over by high-performing councils and charities if they fail.
A handful of councils that were failing children are already run by trusts.
But the new measures will see the existing framework for takeovers speeded up and formalised.
Where departments fail to improve within six months of a poor Ofsted inspection, a new "commissioner" will be appointed and experts in child protection sent in.
In the past, where children's services have been taken over, the process has been far more "ad hoc", says the government.
It will now send experts in to three councils in a process that could see them run by independent trusts.
Sunderland children's services will become a voluntary trust and experts will be sent in to run the department, after inspectors from the care watchdog Ofsted found "serious and widespread" failings.
One child had been hurt by her father and a second had drowned in the bath, after concerns had not been properly dealt with, serious case reviews found. Sunderland said it did not "shy away from the criticisms".
Ofsted told BBC News that 19 out of 74 councils' children's services it inspected in England were found to be inadequate according to reports published between February 2014 and September 2015. None were found to be outstanding.
Struggling child protection services have been under the spotlight following a series of high-profile deaths of at-risk children such as Peter Connelly and Daniel Pelka.
And moves to take troubled services out of council hands are more a continuation of the direction of travel rather than a radical new step.
What David Cameron is really talking about is formalising and streamlining the process.
But the model the government wants to use is pretty much untested.
Eleven months after Doncaster was taken over by an independent trust, it is still deemed to be failing.
Some academics say with cuts biting at early intervention services and social services budgets, what is needed is better funding and a reduced case load, rather than a new structure.
Commissioners (new service leaders) will go into Norfolk and Sandwell children's services too, with a view to taking them over within a year. They have both been rated inadequate by Ofsted.
"We, the state, are their parents; and we are failing them," David Cameron said of society's most vulnerable.
"It is our duty to put this right," he added.
Many councils' failings have been exposed by a series of recent child abuse cases in Rochdale, Rotherham, Derby and Oxfordshire.
And children's services at Doncaster and Slough councils were taken over by independent trusts in September 2014 and October 2015 respectively.
Eleven months after the new trust took over Doncaster it was still deemed to be failing by Ofsted.
Education Secretary Nicky Morgan told the BBC there would now be "much less tolerance of failure".
"Ofsted will go in and inspect more quickly, particularly if there are reports either of inadequacies in the way that the department is being run or we, obviously, receive intelligence from whistleblowers," she said.
"If necessary, they will appoint a trust, which is a not-for-profit organisation, which could be run by something like a community interest company or a charity to run the services to make sure they get back up to the level that the vulnerable children who rely on the protection of these services deserve."
High-performing councils, including Hampshire, Leeds and Durham, child protection experts and charities will be asked to form the trusts to take over the worst children's services and will have powers to get rid of staff.
Like academy schools, such councils will be given greater freedom to make changes.
More than £100m is to be spent attracting high-calibre graduates into social work and new trust sponsors from the charity sector will be recruited to help deliver children's services.
"This will be one of the big landmark reforms of this Parliament, as transformative as what we did in education in the last," Mr Cameron will say later, at an event in south London.
NSPCC chief executive Peter Wanless welcomed the changes, saying too frequently services had failed to protect children.
"When this happens, swift action is an absolute priority to prevent tragedies that shame us all," he said.
"And we need to ensure that if tragedy does befall a child, that we then learn the lessons from serious case reviews, something that year after year is not done."
Barnardo's chief executive Javed Khan said: "There must be options, where it is best for the child, to use the expertise of the voluntary sector to complement those already in place."
Association of Directors of Children's Services president Alison O'Sullivan said services in some areas were not yet good enough and it was right to draw on the expertise of the strongest authorities.
"But there is more to improvement than simply changing structures," she said.
"Parallel to this lies the need for increases in demand to be met with adequate financial resources.
"Even with the closure of many children's centres and youth services, we still face a funding shortfall and we risk losing capacity in the system to prevent problems from escalating to a point beyond repair."
An internal report said the number of deaths at the hospital was "significantly higher than expected".
Preston Keeling, from Healthwatch, said hospital managers needed to explain why the rates were so high.
United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust said all deaths were reviewed and staff were "vigilant", but the rise was not of major concern.
Lincoln MP Karl McCartney said he had asked the hospital to "continue to monitor" the situation closely.
Mr Keeling said: "The spike (in death rates) is concerning and we need to have a look and see why it occurred."
The latest study shows the hospital standardised mortality rate (HSMR) was 119.15 at Lincoln County Hospital compared to 96.99 at Pilgrim Hospital in Boston and 84.51 at Grantham and District Hospital.
In Nottinghamshire, the rates were also high at Sherwood Forest Trust, where the average across the year was 114.
The HSMR is a formula that gives a score based on the age of patients who have died, their medical condition and other factors.
Mr McCartney said: "My understanding of HSMR is that it is not an absolute measure and that fluctuations are not uncommon.
"HSMR does provide us with a useful alarm system though, and I have already sought and received assurances ... that the situation will continue to be monitored closely."
Kevin Turner, Lincolnshire NHS trust's deputy chief executive, said: "We don't believe there is a mortality issue... but we will continue to be vigilant because it is not a new issue.
"We are not brushing this away... there are many factors that we need to look into.
"When we have a death in the hospital we review that death and come to a conclusion whether that death could be avoided."
The Nottinghamshire Clinical Commissioning Group said improvements were being made in each area of the hospitals where mortality rates were high.
From Friday 10 April, the veteran US performer will host a weekly show which airs from 1900 to 2100 BST.
Iggy Pop said: "Having sat in for Jarvis Cocker last year on BBC Radio 6 Music, I found myself realising how good it was for me. I hope it was good for somebody else too."
Tom Ravenscroft's 6 Music show is also moving to 21:00-00:00 BST.
It had previously run from 19:00 to 22:00. The changes to the schedule mean the station will no longer be broadcasting 6 Mix, a weekly show featuring a range of resident and guest DJs delivering a two-hour set.
Ravenscroft said: "It's great to have the creative freedom to explore music even more deeply in my new regular slot on 6 Music."
Iggy Pop first presented two shows on the network in December 2013 and returned last year to front a weekly Sunday afternoon show, taking over Jarvis Cocker's Sunday Service slot.
He also delivered the fourth John Peel Lecture with a speech on the subject of Free Music in a Capitalist Society.
He said the new show will be "what we call in the USA the 'happy hour'.
"It's kind of an edgy point right at the end of the designated work week, and I'll try to play quite a bit of music that's new and stimulating mixed with very old classics from the blues and jazz masters of the 1920s through 50s that are a little more moody. I'm gonna think of myself as a kind of atmospheric bartender. I'll try to do my very best."
BBC 6 Music's head of programmes Paul Rodgers said that in the latest round of official radio listening figures, "Iggy had driven his Sunday afternoon show to a slot record of over 300k listeners".
He added: "To welcome him back in a permanent slot on the network is a dream come true for me and our listeners, and we all look forward to hearing his eclectic musical selections each Friday evening."
Mr Gilmore, who was 44, was shot in the neck while he was in his car in Carrickfergus on Monday afternoon.
He died in hospital on Tuesday.
Brian Roy McLean, 35, of The Birches Carrick and 28-year-old Samuel David McMaw of Starbog Road, Kilwaughter appeared at Laganside Court on Saturday.
They were jointly charged with murdering Mr Gilmore on Monday, the attempted murders of two other people on the same day and possessing a fire arm and ammunition with intent to endanger life.
In court, both the accused spoke only to confirm their names and that they understood the charge.
There was no application for bail and both were remanded in custody, to appear again by video-link next month.
As they were taken from the dock, supporters who had packed into the court leapt to their feet, clapping and cheering.
Hook came on as a second-half replacement at full-back while new signing from Cardiff Blues Cory Allen came on in midfield.
Ospreys scored tries by wing Jay Baker and number eight Dan Baker with two conversions from fly-half Luke Price.
Leicester's try scorers were Jonah Holmes, Harry Thacker and Jake Kerr with Joe Ford adding three conversions.
Ospreys: D Evans; T Williams, J Thomas, O Watkin, J Baker; L Price, T Habberfield (capt); P James, S Otten, M Fia, L Ashley, B Davies, J Ratti, O Cracknell, D Baker.
Replacements: I Phillips, R Jenkins, D Arhip, A Beard, J Cole, B Leonard, C Allen, J Hook, R McCusker, R Jones, W Jones, M Aubrey, B John, P Jones.
The IFA said it received contract forms from Linfield at 19:56 BST on Thursday and then Crusaders at 22:56.
Both clubs had claimed to have signed the former York City player.
Crusaders are now seeking legal advice over Robinson, who was paraded as a Linfield player at Windsor Park before the IFA announcement.
"The Irish FA received Standard Professional Contract forms for Josh Robinson from both Linfield FC (7:56pm) and Crusaders FC (10:56pm) yesterday evening," the governing body stated.
"Having considered the documentation received from both clubs, and based upon Irish FA regulations regarding priority of registrations, the Irish FA can confirm that the player is successfully registered with Linfield FC."
The Belfast clubs made announcements on Twitter late on Thursday announcing the capture of Robinson, who is 24 and from the city.
Robinson spent one year with York after joining them from Crusaders.
Linfield stated the player had agreed a four-year deal, while Crusaders said he had signed a three-year contract which had been recorded with the Irish FA.
It is understood Robinson trained with the Crusaders squad on Tuesday night.
On the official Linfield website, team manager David Healy said: "I'm delighted to be able to advise our supporters that Josh Robinson has agreed to join Linfield.
"Josh is a player I have admired and have been keen to bring to the club to increase the competition levels within our squad."
Linfield's announcement was quickly followed by one from Crusaders claiming Robinson had already signed an agreement to return to Seaview.
The Crues said that on Robinson had signed a pre-contract agreement on 9 June, and that all the necessary documentation had been lodged with the IFA.
"It is great to have Josh back in the fold," said Crusaders treasurer Tommy Whiteside.
The Monarch of the Glen by Sir Edwin Landseer is expected to generate global interest and fetch more than £10m when it goes under the hammer next month at Christie's in London.
It is the first time in 100 years the painting has been on the open market.
It has been on display in Edinburgh for 17 years while on loan to the National Museum of Scotland from owners Diageo.
Sir Edwin Landseer painted The Monarch of the Glen in 1851.
Diageo officials said they had decided to sell the painting as it had "no direct link to our business or brands".
A Diageo spokesman said. "We have made a major contribution by loaning the work for the past 17 years, but we believe the time is right for us to pass on the ownership of the painting.
"The priority for Diageo is to ensure all our assets are focused on growing our business and delivering value for our employees, shareholders and the communities where we operate."
The National Galleries of Scotland has not yet said if it will attempt to buy the painting.
A spokeswoman said: "The Monarch of the Glen by Sir Edwin Landseer is a well-known painting which has been on public view for many years as a loan to National Museums Scotland.
"The familiar image of the stag is an important Victorian picture that has taken on various layers of meaning, which include its use in advertising and as a Romantic emblem of the Highlands of Scotland.
"This painting will undoubtedly draw attention now that it is up for sale."
The red deer stag in the oil painting has 12 points on its antlers, which makes it a "royal stag". The scene is thought to be set in Glen Affric.
A spokeswoman for National Museums Scotland said: "We were delighted to have The Monarch of the Glen on long-term loan from Diageo and to display it in our Scottish galleries at the National Museum of Scotland.
"Landseer's superb vision of the nobility of the Highland stag, and of the Highlands as a wilderness, was a hugely powerful image, and one which still resonates in perceptions of Scotland today."
Diageo is donating another famous painting to the Scottish War Museum, where it is currently on loan.
The Thin Red Line, by Robert Gibb, depicts the 93rd Highlanders halting a Russian cavalry charge at the Battle of Balaclava during the Crimean War in 1854.
Leanne Wood claimed Labour and the Conservatives did not represent Wales' interests and only Plaid could secure a successful EU exit for Wales.
She said it was time to move on from the result and a subsequent Brexit to focus on "what a good deal for Wales could look like".
Labour's Chris Bryant said only his party would "stand up for Wales".
Writing in the Sunday Times, Ms Wood said if people did not move past the referendum and "vote in Wales's national interest on June 8" in the general election, Wales would be "defenceless from Tory attempts to sell off the Welsh NHS and allow cheap imports to undermine our steel and agriculture sector as it pursues dangerous foreign trade deals".
"It's time to move on from the 2016 referendum and focus on what a good deal for Wales could look like," she wrote.
"We will seek a positive future for Wales based on the defence of our economy, our communities and even our identity.
"Now is the time for us all to move beyond the decision to leave the EU, to show that we believe in Wales, to defend Wales and to vote for Wales."
Labour's Chris Bryant said a vote for Plaid Cymru risked letting the Tories "walk all over Wales".
"Plaid Cymru like to pose as a progressive party, but in the Welsh assembly they joined with the Tories and UKIP to vote against vital funding for hospitals, homes and education," he said.
"It is only Welsh Labour that will stand up for Wales."
On a visit to Bridgend last month, Prime Minister Theresa May said backing the Tories would "strengthen my hand" in Brexit negotiations and be a vote for a "stronger Wales".
However, wealthier retirees who own a home and other assets will lose some of their government benefits.
The government said the changes would help the people who most need financial assistance.
The government is looking for ways to cut public spending to offset a sharp fall in revenue.
The 12 May budget is expected to show a massive blow-out in the government's deficit mainly due to lower royalty payments from commodities such as iron ore.
Social Services Minister Scott Morrison said the changes would save the government about A$2.4bn ($2bn; £1.3bn) a year.
"We want the welfare system to be focused on those in greatest need and in the pension system, that's those with low or modest assets," Mr Morrison told the ABC on Thursday.
The government estimates that about 172,000 pensioners would be A$30 better off a fortnight under the changes.
But about 91,000 retirees who own their own homes and have other assets worth more than A$823,000 would no longer get a part-pension from the government.
The changes were "definitely fairer" than the government's previous proposal to change pension indexation, said Combined Pensioners and Superannuants' Association (CPSA) spokesperson Amelia Christie.
"Tightening the pension asset test makes more sense both from a financial and fairness perspective if you compare it with the 2014 budget proposal to cut pension indexation and reduce the value of the pension over time," said Ms Christie.
The government has now scrapped last year's unpopular policy of linking pensions to inflation rather than average wages.
Seniors' lobby groups said that would have left pensioners worse off because inflation was rising more slowly than average wages.
"Yet it should be noted that this policy still goes against the government's pre-election promise to not touch pensions," said Ms Christie.
"A more equitable move would be for the government to tighten superannuation [private pension] tax concessions, which overwhelmingly benefit high-income people ... This lost revenue should be tackled before pensioners face a hit to their incomes," she said.
A try and drop-goal from Berrick Barnes and eight points from the boot of James O'Connor left Wales with fourth place despite a try from Shane Williams in possibly his last Test appearance.
In an error-ridden contest short on quality and atmosphere, Wales failed to replicate their devastating attacking form of earlier in the tournament.
A succession of handling errors gifted the Wallabies the initiative, and Leigh Halfpenny's try in the 83rd minute came too late to deny Robbie Deans' men.
While the result gives Australia revenge for Wales' victory in the corresponding game in the inaugural World Cup 24 years ago, a serious knee injury to fly-half Quade Cooper left their celebrations muted.
And while Eden Park was virtually full, there was the unmistakeable whiff of anti-climax about the night, the minds of both players and supporters on Sunday's final and what might have been.
Wales will reflect that they lost three matches at this World Cup by a combined total of five points, with a host of missed kicks costing them dear in the final analysis.
Australia's hopes suffered an early blow when full-back Kurtley Beale limped off with a recurrence of his hamstring injury, but after Williams was clattered into touch by the right corner-flag the Wallabies struck with pace and precision.
Will Genia took quick ball from the back of an attacking scrum and fed Cooper, whose sweetly-timed flat pass put Barnes through the hole between Jonathan Davies and Jamie Roberts and under the posts.
O'Connor converted for 7-0, only for a fumble from David Pocock off a poor pass to set up a Welsh scrum in front of the Australian sticks. When referee Wayne Barnes called the Wallaby front row for collapsing, James Hook eased over the resultant penalty.
With Australia looking for another gap deep in Welsh territory, Cooper then went down in a heap after his right knee appeared to buckle. He was carried off the pitch, clearly in great pain, his nightmarish World Cup coming to an end with an injury later confirmed as torn anterior cruciate ligaments.
O'Connor hit the right upright with a long-distance penalty attempt after prop Paul James was mangled at a scrum, and the game entered a scrappy phase with both sides spilling possession in contact and under the high ball.
Halfpenny pushed a penalty of his own wide to the right before Davies opted for a grubber with space outside him and put the ball into touch.
The errors continued after the interval as Hook somehow hooked a straightforward penalty from 25 metres out and O'Connor kicked the ball out on the full after taking it back inside his own 22.
But even without suspended skipper Sam Warburton, Wales were beginning to dominate the breakdown, and when Wallaby possession was burgled on halfway a clever kick ahead from Mike Phillips allowed Hook to gather behind the defensive line.
His pass out wide appeared to be both forward and short of Williams, but the old stager booted the ball onwards on the volley and kicked past the covering run of O'Connor before gathering and flopping over the line for his 58th Test try and an 8-7 lead.
Hook again missed his place kick, albeit from way out left, and O'Connor snatched back the lead with a brace of penalties as the Welsh forwards failed to roll away at the breakdown.
Barnes then lofted over a drop-goal from distance for a 16-8 lead with 15 minutes left, replacement Stephen Jones reducing the deficit to five points with a drilled penalty from 35m.
A glorious piece of counter-attacking rugby from the Wallabies' back line appeared to have made the game safe, Genia releasing Adam Ashley-Cooper to run from deep, the winger combining beautifully with O'Connor to cut through the Welsh defence until George North's desperate tackle on the try-line stripped the ball from Ashley-Cooper's grasp.
It was a brief stay of execution. Another handling error in the Welsh midfield allowed the Wallaby forwards to batter their way towards the try-line, and Ben McCalman took advantage of a disorganised defence to rumble over in the left-hand corner to seal victory.
Wales had the last word after a series of 30 controlled phases saw Bradley Davies put Halfpenny over in the left corner, Jones converting, but it brought little consolation.
Wales: L Halfpenny; G North, J Davies, J Roberts, S Williams; J Hook, M Phillips; G Jenkins (capt), H Bennett, P James, L Charteris, B Davies, D Lydiate, T Faletau, R Jones.
Replacements: L Burns (for Bennett, 70), R Bevington (for James, 64), AW Jones (for Charteris, 53), A Powell (for Lydiate, 64), L Williams (for Phillips, 64), S Jones (temp for North, 33-37, for Hook, 50), S Williams (for J Davies, 70).

The video shows a man, thought to be in his 40s, giving chase and pushing the woman to the ground after being asked to wait, police said.
She managed to pull herself out of the road in Sidney Street, Whitechapel, east London.
The woman was shaken but not seriously hurt, the Met Police said.
Anyone with information about the dispute, at about 18:00 BST on 1 May, is asked to contact police.
The plans involve extracting three million tonnes of coal, sandstone and fireclay from a site adjoining Druridge Bay, north of Morpeth, Northumberland.
More than 20,000 people have signed petitions claiming the mine would damage the environment, wildlife and tourism. Some residents support it.
Developer Banks Group promises extra jobs and investment.
Save Druridge Bay campaign organiser Lynne Tate said opponents were concerned about pollution, noise, traffic and the effect on wildlife.
Jobs could be lost in the "booming" local tourist industry, she said.
Banks said 50 jobs could be created at the site at Highthorn, south east of the village of Widdrington, with a further 50 transferred from its other sites in Northumberland.
It has reduced the size of its initial proposal and moved it further away from the village.
Some residents welcome the promise of new jobs, investment in community facilities and environmental improvements.
Jeanie Kielty from Banks Group said it proposed an "extensive package" of local benefits looking at wildlife, footpaths, cycleways, bridleways and tourism, leaving a "positive lasting legacy".
Northumberland County Council said all points raised at the meeting would be considered as part of the planning application.
A final decision is expected in June.
Royston Smith, Conservative MP for Southampton Itchen, said: "I have a lot of important work to do here locally."
He has made five speeches and asked two questions since May, the Independent reported.
The newspaper said this made him the "least active among the 177 MPs elected for the first time last year".
Mr Smith said: "Someone has to be last in the pecking order.
"Southampton is a challenging constituency and I spend my time doing as much as I can locally.
"I don't spend hours in the House of Commons waiting to make a three-minute speech."
On Sunday he posted on Twitter about Labour councillors in the city "trolling" him.
He also said: "While Southampton's Labour Councillors talk to themselves on Twitter I'm having a @SprinklesGelato"
The Independent said Labour's Louise Haigh is the busiest new MP, making 90 speeches and asking 471 parliamentary questions.
The 45-year-old was boarding the 06.54 service to Edinburgh Waverley at Uphall just before 07:00am on Saturday when she was touched from behind.
British Transport Police (BTP) is appealing for information.
Officers investigating are reviewing CCTV from the train and the station. The youth is between 15 and 18 years old, slim and has brown hair.
He was wearing a blue t-shirt.
Det Con Paul Farquhar, of the British transport Police, said: "This assault left the victim upset and I am hopeful that anyone who was at the station or on the train and has information which can identify those involved will feel able to get in touch."
An investigation into the signs, found across Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, following the vote to leave the EU, has failed to find the culprit.
The cards' discovery sparked a social media backlash, including a campaign launched by a man from the town.
In a statement, Cambridgeshire Police said: "All inquiries that could be done were completed."
An 11-year-old Polish boy was among those to find one of the laminated notices - which bore poor Polish translations - posted at his home.
Kathleen Gaynor uploaded a photo of a card, which also said "Leave the EU", on a community Facebook page in June after she said her mother found it held down with a stone on the doorstep of her town centre home.
She believed it was intended for her Polish neighbours.
At the time of the offences, the force said it had interviewed witnesses as part of its investigation.
Amit Damani-Patel, from Leicester, said he was appalled to read the letter - addressed to "Mr Damani-Paki" - from HomeServe's gas service department.
He said: "I was shocked, I had to read it three or four times. I could not believe what I was reading."
HomeServe apologised and said a staff member had changed the letter manually.
In a statement, the Walsall-based company said: "Our investigation has shown that an individual staff member has manually changed a letter to a customer.
"We take full responsibility for this and have taken immediate action. We are confident that the cause of the issue has been addressed."
The statement added: "This is not us; we are an extremely diverse and inclusive company, and we are really proud of this. The actions of one individual are absolutely not representative of our company.
"We send millions of letters every year. Nothing like this has ever happened before and we will do everything we can to ensure it never happens again."
Mr Damani-Patel, who is of Indian origin, said the letter "made my stomach churn".
He said: "I actually thought it was a joke - I thought there is no way this can be real."
The 31-year-old, who is currently working in Texas, added: "They have no idea about my heritage - I am British born and bred."
The Race Equality Centre in Leicester said it found it "difficult to see" how the letter could have been accidental.
"Deliberate or not, there clearly needs to be a thorough investigation by HomeServe to establish how such a letter could be posted by one of their employees to their customer," a spokeswoman said.
People also took to Facebook to criticise the firm.
Josh Bryan wrote: "When I realised what someone had done I was horrified. It's 2015, hard to believe there are still people who find that kind of thing funny."
Paresh Daman wrote: "This doesn't look like a mistake. Wow HomeServe I wonder how many Asian customers you'll still have after this."
In February 2013, HomeServe was fined £30.6m for poor complaints handling and mis-selling, according to the Guardian website.
In 2011, the company suspended its entire sales workforce amid fears staff had been mis-selling its products.
HomeServe said it would respond to Mr Damani-Patel as soon as the investigation was completed.

Charles Foster has worked as a vet, a lawyer and is now an Oxford academic.
His book Being a Beast describes his trials of life as a fox and otter, as well as how he lived underground and ate worms to understand the world of badgers.
He said: "Go out into the woods and drop to your normal foot level and you will see a completely different, and very exhilarating, world."
Brennan Nicholls reports.
The striker, 34, is considering offers after leaving Paris St-Germain but few will be as creative as what Rot-Weiss Oberhausen have put forward.
The club says the striker's signature on a two-year contract would see the city introduce a monarchy that Ibrahimovic will head, while a local beer will be renamed to feature his name.
Sweden captain Ibrahimovic is known to be a confident operator, so could a seat on a newly-formed throne tempt him?
If this is not enough, a local swimming pool - which closed over 20 years ago - would again be filled with water and opened for the former Barcelona player whenever he needs it.
In a statement, the club referred to their target as "God" and confirmed they have "made an offer" featuring an "attractive package".
After finishing fifth last season, Oberhausen are in the market for "a powerful forward who's good in the air" and Ibrahimovic - who scored 156 times in 180 games at PSG - fits the bill.
"In a football province like Oberhausen, there are a few things which other places wouldn't have," club president Hajo Sommers told German broadcaster Sport1.
"If he wants to expand his horizons, let him come."
Media playback is not supported on this device
Rot-Weiss Oberhausen have also offered to construct a new stand using materials sourced from a Swedish retailer if Ibrahimovic moves to the city and Sommer even agreed to pick his man up from the airport.
This chauffeur service once worked for Manchester United in their pursuit of Dimitar Berbatov and the Red Devils - heavily linked with Ibrahimovic - may well need to again pull out all the stops if they are to acquire the former AC Milan, Inter Milan and Juventus front man.
United can of course offer average attendances in excess of 75,000 compared to the 2,100 Oberhausen pulled in last season, not to mention sizeable financial initiatives.
But crucially, they are yet to put forward a 'king of Manchester' proposal.
"In the coming days the player will decide. We are cautiously optimistic that his decision will be positive," concluded the German minnows.
Are both liberal and conservative intellectuals simply appalled by the way he talks?
They are so blinded by his misuse of language and mangling of history that they judge him for what he says, and how he says it, and not for what he does.
The columns in question were by George Will, a distinguished conservative writer here in Washington and a long time critic of the president, and by Chris Ruddy, CEO of the media organisation Newsmax and a good friend of the president. I'll leave you to judge their effectiveness.
But as I read them, it occurred to me that the two men were drawing very different conclusions about the same thing, namely Trump's intellectual style. Moreover these two opinions broadly define why some people love Trump and some hate him. It's how he sounds that people respond to so viscerally.
Mr Will says it is "urgent for Americans to think and speak clearly about President Trump's inability to do either". He accuses the president of an "untrained mind bereft of information". He cites his poor grasp of history, as demonstrated by Mr Trump's recent remarks that former President Andrew Jackson could have prevented the US Civil War.
Like many of Mr Trump's critics, both here and around the world, Mr Will is stunned by the president's lack of knowledge of basic global history and foreign policy norms. He quotes a line from the campaign trail in which Mr Trump threatened to "bomb the s--- out of" Middle East terrorists. And he ends his piece with a warning about the risks of the US nuclear arsenal ending up in the hands of someone so ignorant of world affairs.
Mr Ruddy, who is definitely in the president's corner, admits to being disconcerted by some of the things Donald Trump says. His point, though, is that Mr Trump's language and style, far from making the president and the country look stupid - as some critics claim - are actually effective. The very harshness of Trump's statements on China, Ruddy says, have actually earned him respect in Beijing.
Where critics deride ignorance, Mr Ruddy lauds an ability to learn on the job. He says Trump has shaken the tree of US politics and that in itself is worth doing. He points to the tough talk on immigration and the fact that border crossings from Mexico are down in the past couple of months as evidence that the "president's policies have created a virtual wall, one that may obviate the need for the $20 billion eyesore after all".
Here's where the question of snobbism comes in.
Mr Will's objection smacks of the very intellectual elitism that Mr Trump's supporters to despise. Both the tone and content of Mr Trump's language is certainly distinctive. Mr Will says it reveals gross ignorance.
But Mr Trump's supporters wholeheartedly agree with Chris Ruddy. Polls show us that the one thing they really like is that the new president is shaking things up. And part of that shake up is the way he talks and tweets. The very unfiltered-ness of Donald Trump is refreshing to them. When he gets his history wrong, that's fine, so does everyone sometimes. It just makes him more human.
When he shoots from the lip, he sounds natural and not like yet another poll-driven politician. When he tweets, with !! and CAPITALS, it is authentic and direct. When he offers to make the "best deals", and produce so many wins, "you'll get tired of winning," his supporters don't hear brashness, or irritating bragging. They hear confidence and ambition.
Critics have totally the opposite reaction. But maybe they are being elitist, or snobbish, if they judge Mr Trump by the odd way he talks, or by his overuse of superlatives and his slim grasp of history. What matters far more is what he does with the presidency.
There have certainly been actions liberals are concerned about - deregulating Wall street and the energy industry; his anti-immigration executive orders (three of which are actually stalled in courts) have produced a climate of fear amongst undocumented workers; and he has limited US funds for organisations that advise on or perform abortions worldwide.
But he has not actually done nearly as much as many people either feared or hoped he would. That would suggest there isn't very much to applaud or much to object to. That may still change, but for the moment many of Trump's biggest promises have been blocked either by judges or by congress.
So, in the absence of major policy changes, what does really motivate how you feel about this president?
Perhaps the single biggest indication of whether you support Trump or don't is simply your gut reaction to his style.
You either love it or loathe it. Very few people, it seems, are ambivalent.
Jayalalitha, the four-time chief minister of the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu, died on 6 December.
She was buried in a state funeral in the presence of thousands of mourners. But members of her caste are always cremated so this was unusual.
K Vardarajan says he conducted a traditional cremation with an effigy.
However, Mr Vardarajan's claims that he is related to Jayalalitha have been contested by her niece Deepa Jayaram.
"I don't think we have any relatives left in Mysore who would conduct such a ceremony. Most of our family live abroad,'' she said.

Jayalalitha: The 'goddess' of Tamil Nadu politics
Senior members of her party were quoted by Indian media as saying that Jayalalitha was buried as she transcended caste for her people- and that burying her would give people a "monument" to remember her by.
But Mr Vardajan has expressed unhappiness with the funeral.
"They did not conduct the rituals as per the Sri Vaishnav traditions which dictate that a person must be cremated. Even in burying her, they did not follow the Hindu method. They put her in a box,'' K Vardarajan, who claims to be related to Jayalalitha through her stepfather, told BBC Hindi's Imran Qureshi.
"She will not attain `Moksha' (emancipation from the cycle of death and birth) by that burial," he added.
Mr Vardarajan said he conducted the final rites, together with a priest, on the banks of the Cauvery river in the city of Mysore, where Jayalalitha was born.
The priest, Ranganath Iyengar, said they used a "darba" (a kind of hay that is used during cremation) to symbolize the dead body while conducting the rites.
He added that the would also conduct the ninth and 10th day ceremonies as per Hindu tradition.
He is contesting the South Thanet seat, in Kent, in the general election after forming the Free United Kingdom Party.
Mr Murray, 46, visited a pub, a brewery and a school in the constituency.
He said: "If I were to win then I would definitely open a pub because I'm going to nationalise pubs if I get the chance."
Mr Murray, whose character is based around a love for all things British, said his party represented "rational common sense".
On why he chose Thanet, he said: "I heard destiny's call like a trumpet in the far distance and it sounded like it was saying Thanet, so Thanet had to be the place."
He said one of his manifesto pledges including making Thanet the capital city and "demilitarising" North and South Thanet.
"Why can't North and South Thanet walk in harmony together," he said.
He has also promised that beer will cost "1p a pint", although "crisps will remain at the current price".
During his visit to the Charles Dickens School in Broadstairs, Mr Murray said he was meeting "the adults of tomorrow" to tell them about "their chance to change this nation from Great Britain to Amazing Britain".
Asked how seriously he was taking the election campaign, he said: "Well, only a fool wouldn't take the general election seriously. And a vote for me is a vote for common sense."
A website has been set up for his campaign, carrying the slogan: "Other parties offer the moon on a stick. We'll do better than that: a British moon on a British stick."
His party is using an upturned pound sign for a logo, in a clear parody of the UKIP symbol.
Murray is standing in a constituency which the Conservative Party won from Labour at the previous election in 2010.
Frank McAveety will succeed Gordon Matheson as the leader of Glasgow City Council. He was chosen at a meeting of Labour councillors on Wednesday.
He previously served as council leader from 1997 until 1999 when he was elected to the newly-formed Scottish Parliament.
He represented Glasgow Shettleston until the SNP won the seat in 2011.
Mr McAveety served as deputy minister for Local Government, deputy minister for Health and Community Care and Minister for Tourism, Culture and Sport in the early years of devolution.
He will officially become leader of the council when Mr Matheson formally stands down on Thursday.
It is believed Mr Matheson wishes to stand as a candidate for next year's Scottish Parliament elections.
Labour, which has had overall control of Glasgow City Council since 1980, had 45 of the city's 79 councillors at the last election in 2012.
Scientists deliberately gave mosquitoes the Wolbachia bug and then later exposed them to Zika virus.
They found mosquitoes infected with Wolbachia had less Zika virus in them and in some cases the virus had been deactivated.
They say with more work, the approach could be one way to prevent mosquitoes passing Zika on to humans.
Scientists around the world are working on ways to combat Zika - which has been linked to a rise in brain and skull malformations in babies.
The virus is thought to spread when humans are bitten by mosquitoes carrying Zika.
In this study, researchers from Brazil's Oswaldo Cruz Foundation found mosquitoes infected with Wolbachia (a bacterium that lives in many insects) had fewer copies Zika in their bodies and, crucially, an inactive form of Zika in their saliva.
They say the inactive form of Zika would not be able to cause disease in humans.
Writing in the journal Cell Host and Microbe, the scientists say they are unsure exactly how the overall strategy works but the virus and bacterium may compete for the same resources once inside mosquitoes - and the virus loses out.
They predict mosquitoes with Wolbachia - if released into the wild - would mate with mosquitoes without the bug and, over time, replace the population with Zika-resistant mosquitoes.
But scientists caution this strategy could not be used on its own.
Researcher Dr Luciano Moreira said: "We know that there will not be only one solution for Zika - we have to do this alongside different approaches, like vaccines or insecticides, besides the public measures to control mosquito breeding sites."
Dr Tom Walker, a lecturer at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, who has worked on other programmes involving the Wolbachia bug, said this was early but promising work.
He added: "As this work is preliminary and has been done in a laboratory, one of the next steps would be to conduct a large trial outside of the laboratory."
Prof Jonathan Ball, a virus expert at Nottingham University, said: "It is unclear whether or not such an approach could work in the field and there are many hurdles that still need to be overcome, but in the absence of an effective vaccine, it could prove to be a powerful weapon to limit the spread of this and other serious viruses."
Zika virus disease has been seen in more than 40 countries during the current outbreak.
Commemorations were led by a national service of remembrance at Llandaff Cathedral in Cardiff, marking the start of four years of events in Wales.
People were encouraged to switch lights out between 22:00 and 23:00 BST on Monday with candlelit vigils being held.
Britain declared war with Germany at 23:00 BST on 4 August, 1914.
The Lights Out project was inspired by the words of wartime foreign secretary Sir Edward Grey.
On the eve of war, he said: "The lamps are going out all over Europe; we shall not see them lit again in our life-time."
Four years of war followed, and about six million men in the UK were mobilised. More than 700,000 - including an estimated 40,000 Welshmen - died.
The Llandaff Cathedral service, led by Dean of Llandaff, Gerwyn Capon, was attended by the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester and First Minister Carwyn Jones.
Archbishop of Wales Dr Barry Morgan gave a sermon in which he described war as a "sign of human failure" but said it was sometimes necessary as "the lesser of two evils".
The Duke of Gloucester was among those who laid wreaths, while Saleem Kidwai, secretary general of the Muslim Council of Wales, laid an olive branch on behalf of the Interfaith Council for Wales.
At the end of the service, a candle was lit by the Revd Albrecht Kostlin-Buurma of the German Lutheran Churches.
In Bangor, the faces of soldiers and civilians were projected from the Memorial Arch in a project created by artist Bedwyr Williams.
A processional service was also taking place at Bangor Cathedral.
A torch-lit procession walked up Moel Famau near Mold with torches switched off at the summit for a two-minute silence, signifying war-time black-outs.
A vigil was also held at the cenotaph at Caernarfon, Gwynedd.
Lights were switched off at civic buildings in Cardiff and Swansea, while in Merthyr Tydfil, a service at St David's Church was followed by a Lights Out event in the square.
Gwent Police paid tribute to 14 officers of the old Monmouthshire and Newport forces who died in the Great War.
North Wales Police held a small service outside its headquarters in Colwyn Bay on Monday.
Various World War One events, including debates and school projects, were being held at the National Eisteddfod in Llanelli, Carmarthenshire.
The money "could be allocated if the BBC so wishes", he told an assembly inquiry into the BBC Charter Review.
Ministers have previously said there was a "lamentable" lack of BBC Wales comedy and drama in English.
The BBC has said it was working with devolved governments to meet audience aspirations around the UK.
Earlier in November, First Minister Carwyn Jones repeated his call for an additional £30m to be spent on English language programmes that reflect Welsh life.
Mr Skates told the communities, equality and local government committee: "The BBC's budget is significant and I reject the idea they aren't able to allocate more resources to English language - particularly non-news - programming in Wales.
"I think the money could be allocated if the BBC so wishes."
The BBC has warned it faced a "tough financial challenge" following the licence fee settlement in July.
In his evidence to the assembly's inquiry, Mr Skates also reiterated the Welsh government's call for a review of the BBC's public purposes in Wales to determine the broadcaster's responsibilities to Welsh audiences.
Mr Skates said he would establish a media panel to carry out the review of the BBC's role in Wales if the work did not form part of the UK government's wider review of the BBC's charter.
At a media summit in Cardiff last week, the BBC's director of strategy James Purnell said the corporation was "committed" to Welsh audiences.
The BBC's new charter, setting out its 10-year remit, is due to come into force in January 2017.
Figures obtained by charity NSPCC Wales showed a 21% rise on 2013-14, when 1,446 allegations were recorded by the four police forces.
Gwent Police saw the biggest increase, from 226 to 389 - a 72% rise.
More than 320 allegations concerned children aged 10 and under and 135 were aged five and under.
Of the crimes reported involving the youngest children, seven involved children aged just one and under.
NSPCC Wales said alleged victims may now feel more confident about coming forward following greater awareness about sexual abuse and police may have improved their recording methods.
But it added the figures may only reveal a small part of the picture, as many children are afraid to speak about their experiences or say they are not believed.
According to the NSPCC Wales figures, North Wales Police saw a 26.7% increase in allegations from 314 to 398 between 2013-14 and 2014-15.
Dyfed-Powys Police received a 9.7% increase from 299 to 328. And South Wales Police saw a 4.9% rise from 607 to 637.
Each force was also asked for gender-based figures. Of those provided, more than five times as many offences were recorded against girls (1,235) than boys (205). Gwent Police could only supply gender details for 41 of its 389 recorded offences.
In 2013/14, 1,145 offences were recorded against girls and 229 against boys.
The forces were also asked to provide details on crimes that had an online element but only Dyfed Powys and North Wales did so, with 33 crimes in each force area falling into that category.
The figures may only reveal a small part of the whole picture, as many children are afraid to speak about their experiences. A recent NSPCC report also revealed some young victims say they are not believed when they report sex crimes to police.
Des Mannion from the charity said: "These figures paint a very worrying picture of just how extensive these appalling crimes have become.
"A huge rise across Wales is clearly troubling and we will seek to understand why offences have increased so significantly.
"Where better recording of this crime has at least contributed to an increase, police forces must be applauded and we wholeheartedly welcome any boost in confidence that is helping victims to come forward."
A man entered the Subway store on the Dublin Road carrying a screwdriver at about 10:15 BST on Sunday.
He threatened a staff member before making off with a sum of money.
It is understood that members of the public stopped the man before he was later arrested by the police.
Mewn araith ddydd Mawrth dywedodd y byddai parhau yn y farchnad sengl gyfystyr â "pheidio gadael yr UE o gwbl".
Mae'r cyhoeddiad wedi ei feirniadu a'i groesawu gan wleidyddion yng Nghymru.
Dywedodd prif weinidog Cymru, Carwyn Jones bod "sawl peth sydd angen eu datrys o hyd" yn dilyn yr araith, a'i fod yn aghytuno â Mrs May dros y farchnad sengl.
Ychwanegodd Jo Stevens, llefarydd Llafur ar Gymru, y byddai'r cyhoeddiad yn andwyol i economi Cymru tra bod Jonathan Edwards, llefarydd Plaid Cymru ar drafodaethau Brexit, wedi rhybuddio bod y penderfyniad yn un trychinebus gan ei alw'n "Brexit eithafol".
Ond mynnodd Andrew RT Davies, arweinydd y Ceidwadwyr Cymreig, na fyddai'r penderfyniad yn niweidiol i'r economi.
Ac fe awgrymodd Ysgrifennydd Cymru, Alun Cairns y byddai aros yn rhan o'r farchnad sengl hefyd yn dod law yn llaw â hawl i bobl fudo'n rhydd.
"Yn amlwg mae hynny'n rywbeth na fydd pobl y DU yn ei dderbyn," meddai.
Dywedodd Mrs May y byddai'r Senedd yn San Steffan yn cael y gair olaf ar y cytundeb terfynol rhwng y DU a'r Undeb Ewropeaidd.
Ychwanegodd y byddai'n ymgynghori yn llwyr gyda'r llywodraethau datganoledig yn y trafodaethau wrth lunio cynllun Brexit.
Fe siaradodd Carwyn Jones â Theresa May dros y ffôn cyn yr araith, ond dywedodd Prif Weinidog Cymru ei fod yn dal i anghytuno â rhai elfennau o beth ddywedodd hi.
"Roedd rhywfaint ohono i'w groesawu. Roedd y tôn yn well, doedd e ddim mor ymosodol â'r ffordd y mae adain genedlaetholgar ei phlaid yn tueddu i'w esbonio," meddai wrth ACau.
Mynnodd fodd bynnag, yn sgil y penderfyniad i ganiatáu i Dŷ'r Cyffredin a Thŷ'r Arglwyddi gael pleidlais ar delerau terfynol Brexit, y dylai'r Senedd ym Mae Caerdydd gael lleisio'u barn hefyd.
Dywedodd y gallai'r Cynulliad parhau i weithredu cyfarwyddiadau Ewropeaidd ar ôl gadael yr UE petaen nhw'n dymuno, ac y byddai'n parhau i ymgyrchu dros "fynediad llawn a rhydd" i'r farchnad sengl.
"Beth sy'n rhaid i ni osgoi yn y misoedd a'r blynyddoedd nesaf yw unrhyw beth sy'n rhwystro gallu busnesau ac allforwyr o Gymru, ac felly ei gwneud hi'n anoddach iddyn nhw gyflogi pobl," meddai.
Dadansoddiad Elliw Mai, Gohebydd Seneddol BBC Cymru
Dyma araith bwysicaf a mwyaf arwyddocaol Theresa May fel prif weinidog.
Mae hi wedi dod dan bwysau cynyddol i esbonio beth yn union yw ei chynllun ar gyfer gadael yr Undeb Ewropeaidd. Penderfyniad sy'n mynd i effeithio ar ein bywydau ni i gyd.
Heddiw am y tro cyntaf roedd hi'n gadarn y byddai Prydain yn gwneud toriad clir ac nad yw'n bosib i ni aros o fewn y farchnad sengl os ydyn ni am sicrhau rheolaeth lwyr dros ein deddfau a'n ffiniau.
Partneriaeth hafal gyda'r Undeb Ewropeaidd yw'r weledigaeth yma yn ôl Theresa May.
I rai o'i beirniaid yng Nghymru mae'n cael ei weld fel Brexit eithafol - a gyda 68% o'n hallforion yn mynd i'r Undeb Ewropeaidd, mae'n gynllun maen nhw'n credu sy'n mynd i niweidio ein heconomi.
Yn ôl Jonathan Edwards o Blaid Cymru mae'n "drychinebus". "Anghyfrifol" yw'r gair sy'n cael ei ddefnyddio gan Eluned Morgan o'r Blaid Lafur.
A'r feirniadaeth yw bod y Prif Weinidog yn rhoi buddiannau ei phlaid o flaen economi Cymru.
Ond mae arweinydd y Ceidwadwyr yng Nghymru, Andrew RT Davies yn gwadu y bydd yn niweidio ein heconomi ac yn mynnu bod rhaid derbyn bod mwyafrif etholwyr Cymru wedi pleidleisio nid i newid yr Undeb Ewropeaidd ond i adael.
Mae Theresa May yn mynnu y bydd gan Gymru lais yn y broses drwy gydol y trafodaethau, ond er ei bod hi'n addo pleidlais ar y cytundeb terfynol i Dŷ'r Cyffredin a Thŷ'r Arglwyddi, doedd 'na ddim yr un addewid i'r sefydliadau datganoledig.

Mr Weston, who is already an OBE, said the award "came as a complete surprise".
The former Welsh Guard was horrifically injured on board the Sir Galahad ship in 1982 and is involved in service veterans' charities in particular.
He paid tribute to those who had supported him, in particular his mother and his wife.
"To be given the CBE for charity work means a great deal to me because it's something that I have been very passionate about over the past 33 years," said Mr Weston, who was brought up in Nelson, Caerphilly county.
"I still have to pinch myself. I'm just a boy from a coal mining village in the valleys."
Other CBEs go to Sarah Payne, director of the National Offender Management Service in Wales and Prof Peter Matthews, former chairman of Natural Resources Wales.
Other Cardiff honours include an OBE for Tenovus volunteer Karin Morris, 78, who has worked at the cancer charity's shop in Whitchurch for the last 28 years.
"It started with helping friends, doing little things for elderly people who can't do those things for themselves," she said.
"I'm grateful."
Also honoured with an OBE is Cardiff University medical genetics expert Prof Meena Upadhyaya - partly in recognition of her services to the Asian community. She is the founder of the Welsh Asian Women Achievement Awards.
MBEs include optometrist David Hong, 61, of Rogerstone, Newport, who has provided sight tests and help for thousands of people in Malawi, Moldovia and Romania.
Joint founders of Cardiff-based opera company Music Theatre Wales Michael McCarthy and Michael Rafferty both get MBEs.
Another goes to Robert Brain, 58, from Nelson, Caerphilly, who has raised over £200,000 for six charities over the last 20 years. He has run 16 marathons in the UK and two in New York.
Jane Collier, a nurse from Griffithstown, Torfaen, has been a first aider with St John Ambulance for 50 years, after joining at the age of eight.
She has amassed 8,000 hours of voluntary service to the community.
Other MBEs include occupational therapist Bryony Jordan, from Aneurin Bevan health board, for her work with children with disabilities and Cedric Moon, of the Wales Council For Deaf People.
There is also a MBE for David Street, who founded One Voice Wales, which represents community and town councils.
BEMs include 96-year-old Lena Charles from Blaengarw, Bridgend, who still organises tea dances and conducts Sunday services in the local chapel.
She was a member of Women's Royal Voluntary Service for more than 40 years and involved in entertaining children from Chernobyl on annual holidays.
"It means quite a lot to me - I never thought for one minute I'd be recognised," she said.
David Hando, president and former chairman of Newport County FC is honoured for his 40-year association with the club.
Another went to June Burke, a volunteer, whose father was a founder member of Tenovus cancer charity in Cardiff.
"I started out when I was little going with mum and dad on street collections with a tin - and I did better than they did because people felt sorry for me!"
"I'm astounded if I'm honest. It's great to think someone has recognised, not so much me but the charity."

People in Montague Court, Westcliff, Essex, wanted to leave their windows open overnight in the summer but the automated system could be heard as late as 01:00 BST.
Train company C2C agreed to reduce the call-outs to help residents sleep.
But the campaigner Jill Allen-King OBE described it as a "retrograde step" for blind people who rely on announcements.
Resident Janet Tite said announcements were often made late and bothered residents - many of whom were elderly - as they needed to sleep with the window open.
"The announcements at 01:00 we thought were a little bit over the top, especially as it was discussing the smart card - nothing to do with arrivals or departures.
"It was annoying because it was a voice speaking."
She said she was delighted the timing had been adjusted, with the last announcement now usually heard at about 21:00 BST.
A C2C spokesman said: "We turned the volume down on some announcements and we've also reduced the number that we make, particularly later in the evening when there's fewer people around."
He said they had also put people on stations who would now go to speak to passengers late at night in person.
But local campaigner Jill Allen-King, secretary of the National Federation of the Blind, said: "This is a retrograde step.
"We have been campaigning for years to have announcements on trains and platforms and we do not think they should be turned down or discontinued. We need them.
"Many blind people today are hard of hearing as well and if they are turned down they won't hear them."

"The club has won the league for the last five seasons and we want to win it again this year.
"But it is not just about winning it, it is winning it the best way we possibly can, scoring as many goals as we can, and defending as a collective.
"We have set goals and targets that are not just about winning, but about performances. The performances in the first 10 league games have been outstanding.
"It is only a start. We are not even a third of the way into the season. But if we keep this momentum going and keep working, then we are setting a standard that we can keep building on."
Celtic might have won far more comfortably but missed half a dozen good chances, giving Aberdeen the chance to launch a late onslaught.
Rodgers thought his players "were outstanding in standing up to that", and defender Erik Sviatchenko also relished the opportunity to show a different side to their game.
"It was a tough game. Aberdeen did all they could to beat us and tried to bully us, but I think we showed that we can also play a physical game," the Dane told BBC Scotland.
"Some games we can play our game and score a lot of goals, but it is also really important to win these type of 1-0 games and keep a clean sheet.
"We know they are a good team when they are smashing the ball up to big guys like [Adam] Rooney, which caused us a few problems. But I think we were the better team.
"It is difficult to catch us because we are doing well but we just have to look at ourselves and try to improve in every game. If we continue to show our skills, we will be tough to beat."
Aberdeen boss Derek McInnes defended his decision to leave striker Rooney and midfielder James Maddison on the bench until the second half, insisting his fourth-placed side are not intimidated by Celtic's seemingly unstoppable title charge.
"There are acceptable ways of losing and I think today was one of them," he told BBC Scotland.
"We tried to play our game against them, but the danger is you don't want the game to get too stretched and then their quality up front comes through.
"That was in evidence for the Rogic goal, but there was a lot of determination, effort and thought in the way we played.
"We know we are capable of beating them and I am not having it that they are so far ahead of us.
"The difference between their players and mine might be £500,000 or £600,000 a year, but when you get on the pitch, it is 11 v 11.
"We can beat Celtic and I think today showed that. They will know that for the [League] Cup final next month."
There were clashes at the prison in the central town of Taiz ahead of the break-out.
Yemen is in the grip of its most severe crisis in years, as competing forces fight for control.
The country was thrown into turmoil after Houthi rebels forced President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi to flee to Aden and then to Saudi Arabia.
It is not clear how the prisoners escaped.
State news agency Saba quoted a security official as saying that the prison had come under attack from al-Qaeda supporters.
However, another official told the Reuters news agency that the inmates had fled amid heavy clashes between warring militias.
The Associated Press said the prison guards had deserted their posts following clashes between Houthi rebels and their opponents, citing a security source.
It is the third major jailbreak in Yemen since a Saudi-led coalition began an air campaign against the rebels on 26 March.
Human Rights Watch said in a report on Tuesday that the coalition had carried out dozens of air strikes on civilians in the Houthi's northern stronghold of Saada since April in apparent violation of the laws of war.
Children's inpatient services at Redditch's Alexandra Hospital have been moved to Worcestershire Royal Hospital amid a shortage of junior doctors.
Paramedic Stuart Gardner said he "can't believe" the A&E decision.
Worcestershire Acute Hospitals trust said quality of care mattered rather than where people got it.

West Midlands Ambulance Service said the trust asked it not to take any patients under 16 to the Redditch hospital.
It said it would take all such patients to the nearest alternative A&E with the necessary paediatric services.
Mr Gardner said paramedics were taking children to Worcester or Birmingham.
He said: "Our concern if we're in trouble with a child - a cardiac arrest or a child's got a bad asthmatic attack or having a fit - is if we can actually just go to the hospital department to get the child stabilised before we move to the other hospital.
"We've been told we're not allowed to do that."
The trust's interim chief medical officer Dr Andrew Short said: "Nobody can guarantee that nobody will die.
"What I can guarantee is that we're putting in services that will provide the best quality care for children.
"We know that ambulances are staffed with paramedics who are all trained to provide advanced resuscitation skills."
Asked why enough staff had not been found to keep children's services at Redditch open, he said there was "a national problem".
The bird was trying to fly into a jail in the north-eastern city of Bucaramanga with marijuana and cocaine paste strapped to its back, but did not make it.
Police believe the 45g (1.6oz) drug package was too heavy for it.
The bird is now being cared for by the local ecological police unit, officers said.
"We found the bird about a block away from the prison trying to fly over with a package, but due to the excess weight it could not accomplish its mission," said Bucaramanga police commander Jose Angel Mendoza.
"This is a new case of criminal ingenuity."
The pigeon is thought to have been trained by inmates or their accomplices.
Police said carrier pigeons had been used in the past to smuggle mobile phone Sim cards into the jail.
The target increase came as a "true sense" of the scale of flood damage became clear, a spokesperson said.
Andy Beeforth, chief executive of Cumbria Community Foundation that launched the appeal, said the floods had "impacted more severely" than previous floods.
Meanwhile, the farming minister said funding for farmers was a "priority".
The delayed money for farmers affected by the floods was due to be handed over by the Rural Payments Agency in the new year following a computer error, but may now be received earlier, the minister said.
More than £166,000 has been handed out in grants and families have been given financial help to rebuild their lives, the foundation said.
The appeal was launched 12 days ago on 5 December after a record level of rainfall devastated parts of Cumbria.
Ian Brown, chairman of the foundation, said he was "overwhelmed" by the generosity of people donating to the appeal.
"People see the photos, see the need for help and are creating fundraising events and digging deep into their own pockets.
"It's very heart-warming, very encouraging to see," he said.
They said their final goodbye and parted at Euston, where he took the westbound Circle Line train and died in the Edgware Road blast.
Mr Downey, whose family hailed from Ireland, was a human resources systems development officer for the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.
He was survived by his wife, his father, his twin brother Liam, his sisters Mary and Julie and another brother, Shay.
Mr Downey, who was born on 15 March 1971, grew up in Corby, Northamptonshire and met Veronica when they were both teenagers.
They studied business and finance together at Tresham College in Kettering, Northants and married in 1999.
He worked in the payroll department at Corby Borough Council before moving to a similar job at Kensington and Chelsea Council in 2001.
Councillor Merrick Cockell, the leader of the council, said: "He was a very friendly and approachable person and very knowledgeable and skilled at his work.
"Everyone who knew Jon and who worked with him, will miss him enormously."
The Downeys moved to Milton Keynes in 2003 to be closer to London.
Mr Downey was a big fan of Liverpool Football Club and a keen walker.
His widow said: "He was a big joker who enjoyed winding up his friends. He lived life to the full and enjoyed the day for the day.
"Jon was also very cerebral. He was very conscious of those less fortunate that himself. At his funeral, friends were invited to donate money to the NSPCC."
She said: "Jon was a good listener and a good friend to people in need. He was a rock to me when I was going through a difficult time at work."
Mr Downey and his wife were members of the Woodlands Trust and a group of 50 relatives and friends gathered in woodlands near his home and planted trees and shrubs in his memory.
There is a bench at the site with his name on it and another one outside Kensington and Chelsea Town Hall.
His wife said they had planned to move to Ireland before his life was cut short.
Mrs Downey said: "Ironically Jon used to pick up a packet of cigarettes and announce 'These will never kill me'. He was right."
Martin McGuinness has taken issue with former Finance Minister Simon Hamilton.
According to documents, Mr Hamilton told the Republic of Ireland's National Assets Management Agency (Nama) that Mr McGuinness was across the proposal.
Pimco made an unsolicited offer for Nama's Northern Ireland loan portfolio in late 2013.
Minutes of two telephone calls between Nama chairman Frank Daly and Mr Hamilton have been released by Nama.
In December 2013, Mr Hamilton is said to have "confirmed the deputy first minister was aware of the interest with updates provided by the first minister".
In January 2014, Mr Hamilton, according to the Nama minutes, told Mr Daly the first and deputy first ministers were "fully engaged" with the bid.
A Sinn Féin spokesperson said: "Mr McGuinness refutes any claim he was fully briefed and engaged with the proposed sale… as suggested by the former Minister Hamilton."
It is not the first time Mr McGuinness has contested claims by the Democratic Unionist Party about his knowledge of events in the run-up to the Nama loan sale.
He said he did not know of a memorandum of understanding agreement with Pimco sent by the first minister's office to Nama.
He has also said he was unaware of meetings Peter Robinson had with Pimco and Cerberus Capital Management, the eventual buyer of the £1.3bn portfolio.
The Welsh region were beaten 29-12 at home by Racing 92, their second defeat in this year's tournament.
It leaves them seven points behind Northampton and four behind Racing, who have played only one game in Pool 3.
"It makes it very tough [to qualify] and they'll have to be a lot of turnarounds," said Pivac.
"We came up against a big, heavy pack and it's shown us the standard we've got to aspire to.
"It keeps us grounded, I guess, to see we have a long way to go to get to that standard, and we know that and we've just got to keep working hard.
"We'll see how it goes over the next couple of weeks and we'll see how we go into the Glasgow game looking to get a win."
Scarlets face Glasgow in their next two pool matches, before a home tie against Saints and a trip to Paris.
Pivac's team are among the early season pace setters in the Pro12, lying third behind Connacht and Munster.
But they showed little of their domestic form as Racing pounced on turnovers and defensive slips to claim a bonus point before half-time.
Even after the visitors' flanker Bernard Le Roux was sent-off for a stamp early in the second half, Scarlets struggled to impose themselves on the French side.
After facing the classy Parisians, Scarlets take on Italian strugglers Zebre in the Pro 12 on Sunday, 29 November.
"We've got to re-focus on the Pro12 and improve against Zebre in a week's time," added Pivac.
Ozzie Welsh, 39, made three explosive devices and planted them at Boughton Surgery, near Downham Market, Norfolk.
He denied he intended to cause an explosion which would endanger life or cause serious damage.
The Old Bailey heard Welsh had a history of self-harming at "the extreme end". He was remanded in custody ahead of sentencing on 13 March.
More on this story and other Norfolk news
On the first day of his trial, Welsh, of Short Lane, Feltwell, admitted having an explosive substance, making the devices and posting them through the letterbox on 27 January 2016.
He pleaded not guilty to doing an act with intent to cause an explosion. The charge will lie on court file.
The court heard when police searched Welsh's home, they uncovered a stash of chemicals which could be used to make bombs.
He had made the devices months before and had been spoken to by police about setting off explosions in his garden in the past, it was heard.
The court heard there were concerns about Welsh's mental state and he had been in dispute with doctors before the incident.
Judge Mark Lucraft QC ordered two reports - one psychiatric and the other from the probation service on Welsh's potential dangerousness - ahead of sentencing.
Former skipper Richie Richardson, 52, and pace bowlers Curtly Ambrose, 50, and Andy Roberts, 63, were all honoured by their native Antigua.
It takes the total number of West Indian cricketing knights to 11.
The only previous Antiguan cricketer to be knighted was Sir Viv Richards, after whom Antigua's new stadium is named.
Between them, Richardson, Ambrose and Roberts played in 231 Tests and 456 one-day internationals, while all had spells in English county cricket.
Free-scoring right-hander Richardson, famous for his large maroon sunhats, was one of Yorkshire's earliest overseas players in 1993 and 1994.
Ambrose represented Northants between 1989 and 1996, while also forging a fearsome new-ball partnership with Jamaica's Courtney Walsh at international level.
Roberts, the first Antiguan to play Test cricket, burst onto the English scene with Hampshire in 1974, won the World Cup with West Indies in 1975 and 1979, and also played for Leicestershire.
He was one of the 55 initial inductees into the International Cricket Council's Hall of Fame in 2009, with Ambrose inducted in 2011.
As well as Richards, the other Caribbean cricketing knights include legendary all-rounder Sir Garfield Sobers and the "three "W's" - Sir Frank Worrell, Sir Clyde Walcott and Sir Everton Weekes, who were all from Barbados, as were Sir Conrad Hunte and the Reverend Sir Wes Hall.
The list is completed by Trinidad-born Learie Constantine, who was knighted in 1962 and became the UK's first black peer in 1969.
The family, from Grimsby, include Lily Fitzgerald, 96, and the generations down to her great-great-great grandson Harvey, who was born on Monday.
It comes after a family from Bradford became what was believed to be the only family in the UK to span six generations, on Christmas Day.
According to Guinness World Records the most generations alive in a single family has been seven.

Mrs Fitzgerald said she was "flabbergasted" to become a great-great-great grandmother.
"I cannot fathom how I have got all these generations, but anyway I am thrilled to bits," she said.
Her grandson Stephen Barley, 60, is Harvey's great-grandfather.
He said he was very "proud" of the family and all its generations.
"I cannot believe we have reached this milestone - six generations.
"We all love each other, we are all from Grimsby in the family, and I just think its good to have a nice story come out of the town."
The company said it needed to "address duplication of capabilities and inefficiencies" and become more efficient.
More than 1,000 people are employed in Street, many across the distribution centre, and it is understood they were told the news on Wednesday.
Clarks' US site in Boston, Massachusetts, will also be affected.
The Western Daily Press newspaper initially reported the planned job losses on Thursday.
The firm said the restructure was due to "a highly demanding commercial and economic environment with increasing competition and intensified customer expectations".
The statement said: "This reorganisation unfortunately means that we are in conversations with approximately 170 people who will leave our business across our global operations over the coming month."
A source close to the company told the BBC the majority of jobs would go in Somerset.
James Heappey, Conservative MP for Wells, told the BBC he also understood the majority of job losses would be in Somerset, which was "clearly very bad news for Street".
"I think it's going to have quite an impact because that's quite a number of people to be looking for work in a community that's relatively small," he said.
The BBC understands the trade union Unite is in talks with the company about the job losses.
Deputy leader of Mendip District Council, Tom Killen, said it was "working with a number of key delivery partners, including Jobcentre Plus".
He added: "There is direct liaison with the companies to discuss how best to provide practical assistance and support for affected employees."
Clarks began work in Street 191 years ago, when brothers James and Cyrus Clark decided to use their tannery to make sheepskin slippers.
The company website says: "Our feet have stayed firmly rooted in Street. It's where Clarks started. It's where our heart lies."
Chris Coleman's side fought back from an early Radja Nainggolan goal to triumph thanks to goals from Ashley Williams, Hal Robson-Kanu and Sam Vokes.
The Welsh fairytale in France continues - they now face Portugal in the semi-finals - this is how BBC Sport rated their players at Stade Pierre Mauroy.
Made an excellent early stop from Yannick Carrasco before being beaten from distance by Nainggolan's screamer. Looked like he would be in for a busy evening at that stage but, for all their late pressure, Belgium barely tested him after the break.
Needed help to cope with Eden Hazard down the Welsh right in the first 15 minutes but the Belgian blitz did not last. Kept venturing forward and got his reward with the cross for Sam Vokes' goal.
Another to look shaky at the start, especially when he picked up a booking for fouling Kevin de Bruyne, but like his team-mates he grew in confidence and composure as the game went on. Suspended for the semi-finals after being booked.
Has not looked himself up to now in France but this was the Wales captain at his best. Heading is not his strength but that did not stop him nodding the equaliser and he seemed to be in the right place whenever the ball came into the Wales box.
He and Gunter were given the task of shackling Hazard, and came out on top - the Chelsea forward only cut inside with any real menace once. Made some vital interceptions and blocks.
One of the Wales players to put his body on the line to stop what seemed like certain Belgium goals in the opening minutes. Like Gunter, kept going forward and was unlucky not to score before half-time.
Another tireless tackler who also used the ball simply and effectively to help Wales establish a degree of control in midfield as the game went on.
His passing radar was initially off - he surrendered possession for the move that led to Belgium's opener. But his work-rate never faltered and he gave everything to protect his centre-halves.
Belgium gave him time and space in their half and he punished them for it. Set up two of the three goals and now has four assists for the tournament but his second-half booking for handball means he will miss the semi-final. He did not stop running after that, and Wales will miss him massively too.
An open game suited him and his runs gave Belgium plenty to worry about. He continued to menace their defenders in the second half. No goals or assists this time but he will not care one bit.
What can you say? Amazing. His industry and effort are well-known but the skill he showed to turn half the Belgium defence and put Wales ahead is not. Without a club, for now, but part of Welsh footballing folklore for sure. The fans did not stop singing his name.
Came on to give Wales more legs in midfield when Ledley had used all his energy - did not let anyone down.
Legendary Wales striker John Hartson told me before the game that a Vokes goal was coming and boy was he right. Took the pressure off in the closing minutes with a trademark header.
Too late to earn a mark but will surely play a part against Portugal with Davies suspended.
Giggs, 43, is embroiled in a dispute over money after the breakdown of his marriage to wife Stacey.
Mr Justice Cobb, who is presiding over the High Court hearings, heard Giggs will call witnesses to back his claims.
Millionaires must show "an X factor" to avoid an even split in marital assets.
Jo Edwards, an expert in family court litigation, said wealthy people are required to prove they have made a special contribution to avoid the marital pot being split evenly in two.
Mr Justice Cobb said Mrs Giggs could call witnesses at the Family Division of London's High Court to "reply" to the former Wales international's argument for the lion's share of their marital fortune.
No-one likely to be called as a witness was identified at a hearing earlier, when Mr Justice Cobb analysed preliminary issues in the case.
Giggs made a record 952 appearances for Manchester United, scoring 168 goals in a decorated career that saw him win 25 major honours including 13 Premier League titles and two Champions League winner's medals.
The judge will probably be asked to decide how big a share of the marital asset kitty Mrs Giggs should get if agreement is not reached.
He said a trial was unlikely to take place for some time.
The Bond Connect programme is Beijing's latest attempt to open up its financial markets and attract foreign capital.
China's $9 trillion bond market is the third-largest in the world, but only 2% of Chinese bonds are foreign-owned.
The launch has been timed to coincide with the 20th anniversary of Hong Kong's handover to Chinese rule.
Bonds are glorified IOUs, typically sold by governments and companies to raise cash.
Their attraction to investors is that they usually offer a fixed rate of interest and come with the promise of eventual full repayment when the bond expires.
Initially, Chinese bonds can be bought by banks, insurers and fund managers via Hong Kong.
No date has been set for Chinese investment in foreign bonds.
HSBC Holdings and an asset management unit of Bank of China became the first institutions to trade using the scheme, with about $300m worth of bonds purchased in early trading.
Buying Chinese bonds - essentially Chinese government and corporate debt - will give investors greater access to investments denominated in the Chinese currency, the yuan or renminbi.
Overseas investors have in the past been cautious about entering the market - partly over the stability of the Chinese currency as well as Beijing's perceived lack of urgency to reform its financial markets.
There has also been long-held concern about the credibility of credit ratings for bonds in China.
Similar systems to enable dealing in Chinese shares have been rolled out recently.
Since late last year, foreign investors in Hong Kong have been able to trade shares in about 900 firms in companies on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange and vice-versa following the official launch of the Shenzhen-Hong Kong trading link.
That link followed the launch of the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect in November 2014, which allowed international investors to trade in hundreds of Shanghai-listed A-shares as well as Hong Kong stocks.
Last month, US stock index provider MSCI agreed to include China's mainland domestic shares in its emerging markets index for the first time.
Marie Cooke, from Nottinghamshire, said the MP placed the cup on her table during a break at a rally at the Albert Hall in Nottingham on 20 August.
Ms Cooke, who works for Age UK, said she saw it as a "cheeky" opportunity to raise money for the charity.
She said about 4,000 people watched the item on eBay, and it was eventually won after 22 bids on Thursday evening.
Ms Cooke was outside the Nottingham Playhouse when Mr Corbyn asked her if she minded if he put his cup on her table.
"We were happy to oblige," she said.
"[When] he went back into the Albert Hall to deliver his speech we thought we'd be a bit cheeky and take the cup and put it on eBay.
"[On Thursday] it just went mad with over 4,000 people looking at it, and we raised £51."
The fundraiser said she would attempt to get Mr Corbyn's autograph to prove it was his cup.
The cup was won by a student in Oxford, according to Ms Cooke.
"I think they are going to turn it into some kind of relic," she said.
Christiane Stoner, 43, is accused of facilitating frauds to be carried out on customer accounts that resulted in a six-figure loss to Barclays Bank.
Prosecutors allege she printed customer information and took images of their signatures from a bank system at a Barclays branch in Stirling.
She is accused of supplying the data and images "to persons unknown".
The alleged offences are said to have taken place in 2013.
Ms Stoner is accused of entering into or becoming concerned in an arrangement which she "knew or suspected" facilitated the acquisition, retention, use or control, by or on behalf of another, of criminal property within the meaning of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002.
She is charged with possessing, or having under her control, articles for use in committing fraud, namely images of the signatures of six Barclays Bank customers taken from the bank's system.
Ms Stoner, of Carnbroe, North Lanarkshire, pleaded not guilty to all seven charges at Falkirk Sheriff Court.
Sheriff Robert Dickson continued the case for trial in January.
The Scottish SPCA believe the cub became separated from its mother during severe weather in the region last weekend.
It was discovered at the back door of a house in Kirkcudbright on Monday morning.
Animal welfare officers believe the otter, which they have nicknamed 'Buddy', is just 10 weeks old.
The cub is weak and underweight but said to be improving on a diet of milk and fish.
It is now one of 15 otter cubs being cared for at the charity's national wildlife rescue centre in Fishcross, Clackmannanshire.
Centre manager Colin Seddon said it has been their busiest ever year for otter cubs.
He added: "Buddy will be introduced to our three youngest cubs, Ebb, Tide and Wave, who were also found without their mothers.
"They will stay with us for around a year until they are old enough to fend for themselves back in the wild."
Last month two orphaned cubs were found on a flooded river bank at Earlston and another was found in Brechin.
Mr Seddon said: "This is a very hazardous time for young otters as they can easily be washed out of their holts by high rivers and at that age they are not accomplished swimmers.
"If separated from their mothers, they may well perish.
"We would appeal to the public to be watchful, especially in areas affected by the recent floods.
"If anyone hears or sees any animals they think may be in distress they should contact our animal helpline for advice on 03000 999 999."
Just 49.8% were in favour of shale gas extraction when researchers from the University of Nottingham asked 3,657 people earlier this month.
This is the lowest number in support of fracking since the university started its poll on the issue in 2012.
The latest results found 31.4% were against fracking, while 18.4% were undecided.
"The May 2014 survey confirms that the turn against fracking for shale gas in the UK has deepened," says the report.
And it cites the anti-fracking protests which took place in the village of Balcombe in West Sussex in 2013 as a tipping point when the tide of public opinion towards shale gas extraction began to shift.
Since those protests the number of people against fracking has been steadily rising, it says.
BBC environment analyst Roger Harrabin said this was bad news for the government, given that it wanted to encourage shale gas as an alternative to imported gas from Russia.
He said ministers would not be delighted to learn that a second anti-fracking camp was planned for this summer.
Tory peer Lord Howell of Guildford - who apologised last year after saying that fracking should take place in the North East because it was "desolate" - recently spoke about the issue again, and said the Conservative Party could lose votes by pursuing plans to frack.
But the poll, carried out by YouGov on behalf of Nottingham University, suggested that this may not happen as it found support for fracking higher among Tory and UKIP voters - around 68% - while Labour and Lib Dem supporters were generally much less in favour.
The survey also found that an increasing number of people were better educated about the technology and processes behind shale gas extraction.
Older people were found to be more accepting of fracking than younger people. The poll found more than 50% of older people approved of the technology, while among those under 25, as many were now against shale gas as were for it.
The professor organizing the survey, Sarah O'Hara, said the fall in support from under-55s had been so sharp that at first she did not believe the results.
"This is really surprising," she told BBC News.
"Previously the polls had shown a steady trend towards greater understanding of the technology and greater acceptance, but this has gone into reverse and now support is the lowest overall since we started the poll.
"It's clear from the trend in polling that it's the protests in Balcombe that have swung opinion."
According to the survey summary, the prospect of contamination of drinking water had been a "key issue" highlighted by protesters.
It said the negative rating for shale gas on water contamination has been maintained and currently stands at -16.6%.
The report said trends suggest the "turn against fracking" seen after the Balcombe protests last year was not a "blip" and represent "an increasing sense of unease" with the technology's environmental implications.
Fracking is the process of drilling down into the earth before a high-pressure water mixture is directed at the rock to release the gas inside. Water, sand and chemicals are injected into the rock at high pressure which allows the gas to flow out to the head of the well.
Dr Tina Hunter, Director of the Centre for International Minerals and Energy Law at the University of Queensland, warned a shale conference in London on Monday that rushing ahead with fracking had caused huge social and environmental problems in Australia.
She said: "Don't go into fracking fast. Australia is a big, big country. A lot of it is desert, yet we've still had huge problems there by rushing ahead before legislation and public opinion were ready."
Dr Hunter applauded the UK government's more cautious approach, and suggested that the UK mandate "fingerprint" tests on the water flowing back from the fracking process in any well. Chemical analysis would establish the exact chemical signature of the well and provide evidence in any future case of water pollution.
An official from the energy department DECC told BBC News this idea was worth examination.
Ross Gurdin, energy policy adviser for the employers' body the CBI, urged a prudent development of shale gas reserves in the UK.
The CBI did not expect any major drop in gas prices in the short to medium term thanks to shale gas, he said, but was keen to attract new tax revenues to the Exchequer and create new feedstock for chemical manufacturers which had previously relied on feedstock from North Sea gas.
An announcement from the British Geological Survey of the reserves under the Weald of the south of England is due soon.
The move follows legal challenges by the governing socialist party of President Nicolas Maduro.
The suspension removes the opposition coalition's super-majority which gave it extensive powers to challenge President Maduro.
The opposition had called the challenge a "judicial coup".
The court approved injunctions against the election victories of three opposition MPs and one from the governing Socialist Party while it hears a legal challenge against them.
The court also agreed to hear legal challenges to the election of another six opposition deputies but dismissed requests for similar injunctions.
The court's website did not detail the arguments underlying the legal challenges by the governing Socialist Party.
As a result, four MPs are blocked from taking office when the new Congress opens on 5 January, while the other five will be allowed to take office while the court hears the legal challenge against them.
A two-thirds majority gives the opposition key powers it would not have with fewer seats.
Among them is the power to remove Supreme Court judges, appoint key officials such as an independent attorney general, and passing constitutional amendments subject to ratification by referendum.
The secretary-general of the opposition MUD coalition, Jesus Torrealba, earlier condemned the challenges to the results.
"You can't use legal tricks to steal something the voters didn't want to give you," he said.
"We're not living in a functional democracy," he added.
In an open letter to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and senior international officials, he said: "The country, the region and the world are facing a judicial coup attempt against the Venezuelan people's decision as expressed at the ballot box.
"The ruling party's irresponsible behaviour is pushing the entire country to the brink of disaster, which would have grave consequences for the entire region."
Venezuelan Foreign Minister Delcy Rodriguez defended the legal challenges, saying: "We also have to be careful and vigilant over the law. These legal challenges are revealing that there were concrete irregularities which could have altered the results of (the elections). We are using legal means and we have not called for violence."
Even if the opposition were to lose the three seats, it will still hold a majority in the 167-seat National Assembly, which for the past 16 years has been dominated by the President Maduro's Socialist Party.
Outgoing National Assembly president Diosdado Cabello called a number of extraordinary sessions last week at which 13 new Supreme Court judges and 21 substitute judges were named.
President Maduro has convened a meeting of socialist supporters for January to set the course for the "Bolivarian revolution", which his party advocates.
Londonder Okoye, 23, who still holds the British discus record, left the 49ers last week after two seasons trying to establish himself.
After franchises finalised their squads over the weekend, Okoye said: "Really excited to join the @AZCardinals.
"Big thank you to everyone that has supported throughout this journey."
Okoye added: "9ers fans have been awesome with me throughout my time there - will always appreciate you no matter where I'm at."
Jack Crawford made the Dallas Cowboys' 53-man roster, but other Britons did not have such good news over the weekend's roster moves.
Former London Warriors defensive end Efe Obada was released by the Cowboys.
Rookie running back Jay Ajayi has been moved to the Miami Dolphins' injured/reserve list because of a chest injury.
Manchester-born offensive tackle Menelik Watson ruptured his Achilles tendon late last month and has also been placed on the Oakland Raiders' injured/reserve list, likely keeping him out of the entire campaign.

The watchdog said 180,188 complaints about unwanted promotional calls and text messages had been made, up 11% from last year.
In its annual report, it said it had issued five fines relating to unsolicited calls and texts.
Consumer group Which? said the figures were the "tip of the iceberg".
The organisation said its research showed only 2% of people who received unwanted calls reported them.
"Regulators, government and industry must work harder to cut off unwanted calls and texts that annoy millions of us every day," said Richard Lloyd, executive director at Which?
The body is running a campaign to hold senior executives accountable for nuisance calls made by their companies.
It said the ICO should use its powers "to full effect", to punish companies that broke cold-calling rules.
The ICO told the BBC the rise in complaints could be attributed to its online reporting tool, which had been active for only two years.
Overall, the ICO issued more than £1m in fines in the last year.
In March, it fined the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) £180,000 after a witness in an investigation was mistakenly sent evidence relating to 64 other people involved in the case.
Other successful prosecutions included:
The total number of complaints the ICO handled fell slightly compared with last year.
The organisation also collected slightly less in fines, although this meant there were fewer appeals against its rulings.
"The number of fines issued has almost halved, but the final amount paid to the ICO, after appeals, has only dropped by 13%," said Chris McIntosh, chief executive of data security firm ViaSat UK.
"I think the ICO is being smarter about the battles it picks. For an organisation that needs to consider its budget, it's a wise course of action."
An application by a Kincora victim for a judicial review was dismissed by the High Court in Belfast as "premature and misconceived".
The challenge was taken by Gary Hoy against Northern Ireland Secretary Theresa Villiers and the HIA inquiry.
A separate independent review in England and Wales is led by Justice Lowell Goddard.
Mr Hoy's application alleged that members of the Army or security services were complicit in the abuse.
There have previously been allegations that MI5 was involved in covering up abuse at the home that is now closed.
Last year, Home Secretary Theresa May ruled out extending the national inquiry to include Kincora.
Earlier, the High Court judge said it was the HIA inquiry's intention to "collate and make publicly available as much information as possible about what occurred at Kincora".
After that, he added, authorities will be in "the best position to determine whether the UK government bears any further obligation".
He said that the HIA inquiry had pledged to examine whether the police, Army or intelligence agencies "were responsible for systems failures that caused, facilitated, or failed to prevent abuse at Kincora".
The HIA was set up in 2013 to investigate child abuse in residential institutions in Northern Ireland over a 73-year period, up to 1995.
These included a range of institutions, run by the church, state and voluntary sector.
The Goddard inquiry will investigate whether public bodies, such as the police, NHS and BBC, failed in their duty of care to protect children from sexual abuse.

Murtagh has joined Wood after making 113 appearances for Woking, having joined the Surrey side on a permanent deal from Mansfield in 2014.
He has also previously played for Cambridge, Wycombe and Macclesfield.
Wells, 32, made 97 appearances for Stevenage after joining from Braintree, before being released this summer.

"I will also be able to start the college course that I wanted to with the days off that I will get, so I will be doing something that I love, while still playing football."
UK PM David Cameron has promised a referendum on EU membership by the end of 2017 and is pushing for reform.
Speaking to the BBC, Mr Duda said he wanted to see the EU "fixed" to make it more efficient and more democratic.
But he criticised Mr Cameron's key proposal to delay in-work benefits for new EU migrants for four years.
He said he would not accept any EU labour laws that could discriminate against individuals from particular member states.
Correspondents say Mr Duda's surprise election victory in May signalled a shift to the right in Polish politics.
He is an ally of the ruling conservative Law and Justice Party (PiS), which has clashed with domestic and EU critics in recent weeks over claims it is trying to manipulate state institutions.
Speaking to the BBC, in his first interview to international broadcast media as president, Mr Duda said the EU had "many weaknesses" and warned a so-called "Brexit" from the bloc could cause further havoc.
"The EU has been shaken time and time again with crises - whether it's the financial crisis, or the refugees crisis," he said.
"Let's not pretend, a UK exit from the EU will be a very serious crisis for the EU. Of that I have no doubt."
He said Poland's new leaders were not Eurosceptics but "Euro-realists", and that he wanted the EU to change.
MEPs from his PiS party sit with the British Conservatives in the European Parliament.

"We want the EU to be efficient. So that it will foresee any possible future problems that are coming its way."
But he said he did not agree with Mr Cameron's drive to allow EU migrants to receive in-work benefits only after living in the UK for four years.
"I do not agree with contravening our basic freedoms, which we have in the EU framework - one of which is the principle of non-discrimination," he said.
"And this is where I am completely against changing that principle."
Mr Duda also commented on protests in recent weeks against planned changes to the Constitutional Court which critics say will undermine its ability to hold authorities to account.
The legislation requires cases to be adjudicated by a panel of at least 13 of the court's 15 judges - the minimum is between five and nine under the present system.
The change was approved by the lower house of Poland's parliament on Tuesday and now goes before the upper chamber, also controlled by PiS.
Mr Duda accused the protesters of not accepting the results of the October elections.
"These demonstrations are, above all, made up of those who until recently governed Poland - and who were removed from power by Polish voters in the general election," he said.
"They simply do not want to accept this."
The head of the European Parliament, Martin Schulz, has criticised the Poland's new leadership, denouncing a "a lack of solidarity" over the refugee crisis.
Mr Duda told the BBC the country welcomed "people who wanted to come here" but repeated the government's refusal to accept mandatory quotas for resettling asylum seekers.
The move has enabled a monthly saving of around $11,5m (£8m).
The audit is part of an anti-corruption campaign by President Muhammadu Buhari, who took power last year.
Corruption and mismanagement have long been a challenge to Nigeria's growth, and the government has promised to cut costs to face an economic slowdown.
Nigeria is Africa's biggest economy and the continent's top oil producer, and its finances are under strain due to the recent collapse in oil prices.
The country has also faced rising inflation, a stock market slump and the slowest pace of economic growth in more than a decade.
Is corruption Nigeria's biggest challenge?
Profile: Muhammadu Buhari
The audit started in December used biometric data and a bank verification number to identify holders of bank accounts into which salaries were being paid, Reuters news agency reports.
This process allowed the identification of some workers who were receiving a salary that did not correspond to the names linked to the bank accounts.
Source: UN
It also revealed that some employees were receiving salaries from multiple sources.
Some 23,846 non-existent workers were removed from the payroll, an adviser to the finance minister was quoted by Reuters as saying.
Periodic checks and electronic audit techniques will be periodically carried out to prevent new frauds, the ministry said.
Officials have said the savings resulted from the anti-corruption measures will help the country tackle its crisis and prevent job cuts.
Firefighters used hydraulic equipment, a winch and hand tools to free him following the incident near Cynwyl Elfed at 19:30 BST on Friday.
He was treated at the scene by paramedics before being taken to Glangwili Hospital in Carmarthen. The extent of his injuries are unknown.
The main A484 was closed in both directions following the incident.
The display has been selected to cover the Queen's life and reign, and includes both evening and day wear.
The exhibition is one of three entitled Fashioning a Reign: 90 Years of Style from The Queen's Wardrobe.
A centrepiece is the outfit she wore for the official opening of the Scottish Parliament on 1 July 1999.
Sandra Murray designed the green silk-crepe and lace dress and purple coat, made of a silk-wool blend, which the Queen wore as the Duke of Hamilton presented her with a Scottish crown in front of the 129-member strong assembly.
A shawl of purple and green Isle of Skye tartan, woven on the Isle of Lewis, and a hat by milliner Philip Somerville, completed her look.
Exhibitions at Buckingham Palace from 23 July and at Windsor Castle from 17 September will follow.
In total, more than 150 outfits worn by the Queen will be presented across the three sites, many chosen because of their close association with the location.
British couturier Sir Norman Hartnell, who first worked for the then Princess Elizabeth in the 1940s, produced many evening dresses in her wardrobe.
Among the dozens of outfits on display will be a turquoise-blue dress with a matching bolero jacket the Queen wore at the wedding of her sister Princess Margaret and Antony Armstrong-Jones in May 1960.
It is similar to a Hartnell evening gown she wore in 1962 for a gala performance of Rob Roy at the Royal Lyceum during the state visit to Scotland of King Olav of Norway.
The exhibition at Buckingham Palace will present outfits worn from the 1920s to the 2010s, from ceremonial and military attire to ensembles worn at family celebrations such as weddings and christenings.
The Windsor Castle event will bring together outfits ranging from evening gowns and elegant day wear to fancy-dress costumes worn by the young Princess Elizabeth for wartime family pantomimes.
The 46-year-old Scot joined Blackburn in November, but has activated a clause in his contract to leave after their final game against Reading on 7 May.
At the start of the April, former Aston Villa boss Lambert stated he would 'wait and see' about his future after talks with the club's owners Venky's.
He has won 10 of his 31 games in charge as Rovers sit 18th in the league.
Lambert has been quickly installed as odds-on favourite with several bookmakers to take over at Celtic, where he spent seven seasons as a player.
"I would like to place on record my thanks to the owners and especially the players, staff and fans for the tremendous backing and support I have received since I arrived," he told the club website.
"It's a brilliant club, with great people, and I wish it every success in the future. For now, I remain fully focused and determined to try to win the final two games of the season starting this Saturday against Rotherham."
Blackburn say the search for a new manager will begin 'with immediate effect'.
After replacing former boss Gary Bowyer, Lambert steered the club to a season-high position of 11th in the Championship table in December but they have struggled for form since.
Last month debts of £102.4m were revealed by Venky's, run by the Rao family that owns the club, who are based in India.
Blackburn are the sixth club he has managed, following spells at Livingston, Wycombe, Colchester, Norwich and Aston Villa.
"Paul Lambert deciding to leave is no surprise.
"Over recent weeks he has grown increasingly frustrated at the lack of communication from the owners in India, with regards his plans for next season.
"His departure next month will leave Blackburn Rovers without a manager, chairman, chief executive or managing director. A situation that can not continue going forward." | Falklands war veteran Simon Weston said he was "so proud" to be awarded the CBE in the New Year Honours list.

Sadio Mane's acrobatic header finally put the Reds ahead after a host of missed chances, before Philippe Coutinho drilled in a second from 20 yards three minutes later.
Adam Lallana crossed for Emre Can to nod home before half-time and underline the home side's clear superiority - and the story was much the same after the break.
Watford were abject and Liverpool masterful as Roberto Firmino tapped in a Lallana cut-back before the Brazilian turned provider and Mane slotted in a fifth amid slack defending.
Georginio Wijnaldum completed the scoring in the 91st minute with his first goal for the club, after substitute Daniel Sturridge had struck the bar twice.
It is the fifth time Liverpool have scored four goals or more in the league this season, and made them the top flight's highest scorers with 30 goals from their 11 matches.
But Watford's consolation through Daryl Janmaat means Klopp's side have only kept one clean sheet in the league this season.
After Manchester City slipped up at home to Middlesbrough and Arsenal were held by Tottenham, Liverpool's players knew victory would send them a point clear of Chelsea at the top of the league.
If there was pressure following the Blues' statement win - they defeated Everton 5-0 on Saturday - Liverpool certainly did not show any signs of suffering from it.
Rarely will the home fans have seen their side perform so dominantly. The fluid play of Coutinho, Lallana, Mane and Firmino carved out chance after chance, and while Watford were at times sloppy in possession, there was little they might have done better to resist Liverpool's 28 attempts on goal.
With the speed of the home side's passing and the slick interchanging of positions in attack, Watford simply could not live with Liverpool. Five different players scored in a ruthless performance full of confidence, rhythm and flair.
Sturridge was without a goal in his past nine league games and, having come on to replace the excellent Lallana, the England international played as if he had a point to prove.
But no matter what he did, the ball just would not go in.
Twice he struck the woodwork, once with a fierce left-footed drive that crashed against the bar as he drove in on goal from the left, later with a dipping strike from outside the box that Costel Pantilimon brilliantly tipped on to the bar.
Sturridge should then have done better when cutting on to his left and firing straight at the keeper, but Klopp will have been impressed with his forward's performance in the 20 minutes he was allowed.
The German was clearly very angry about one thing though - how Watford's Janmaat was allowed to ghost into the box and slot home Nordin Amrabat's pass.
Even with his side coasting towards victory Klopp was barking instructions to his players. The message seemed to be: more pressure high up the pitch, more movement off the ball in possession. They were the key attributes in this impressive win.
Even though he missed what Klopp might have described as a perfect goal just before he was taken off to a standing ovation with three minutes to play, Coutinho was the outstanding performer in a stellar cast.
The Brazilian skied wildly over after Nathaniel Clyne launched himself into an interception on the halfway line, played a one-two with Firmino and cut back from the edge of the area.
That finish was lacking but of the minds and feet at work in front of the weary Watford defence, his were by far the quickest.
BBC Sport chief football writer Phil McNulty
Liverpool have hit the Premier League summit and there can be no doubt whatsoever - Jurgen Klopp's team are real live title contenders.
The fact that there were five different goalscorers in Sunday's 6-1 win against Watford at Anfield sums up the strength and potency of a Liverpool side that has hit a red hot streak since that surprise 2-0 loss at Burnley in their second game.
Sadio Mane, Philippe Coutinho, Roberto Firmino and Adam Lallana have the pace, movement and threat to pose a danger to any side while captain Jordan Henderson has been a revelation this season.
Yes, questions remain about the quality of their defence and new goalkeeper Loris Karius but this current Liverpool teams carries a level of menace that has echoes of the Luis Suarez-inspired side that almost won the title in 2013/14.
And one more factor in the title equation.
Liverpool have already played title rivals Arsenal, Spurs and Chelsea away from home, claiming seven points with victories at Emirates Stadium and Stamford Bridge. No wonder confidence is high at Anfield.
Former Blackburn striker Chris Sutton on BBC Radio 5 live
It was a stunning display from Liverpool. It could have ended up double figures. They blew Watford away, and have blown away most teams this season.
They look like they're going to go close. The fact they have no European football and can recover between matches will help, too.
Former Liverpool keeper Chris Kirkland
There is a different feeling now at Anfield. The expectation is back and the players are proving that is justified with their performances - week in, week out.
Former Leicester midfielder Robbie Savage
Liverpool, wow. The movement in those front players was incredible. They could have scored 10.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, speaking to BBC Sport: "When the result gives you the impression that it is easy there is a lot of hard work behind that. The result is wonderful and the performance is terrific.

"But Chelsea yesterday were not bad, Manchester City against Barcelona not bad, Arsenal great movement and Tottenham - oh my god. We need to be good.
"Good results and performances help confidence. We will send the players all around the world and hopefully they come back healthy for the big challenge of Southampton.
"There is nothing to celebrate in the moment - this is our responsibility to play well when you put on the red of Liverpool. It is all good until now."
Watford manager Walter Mazzarri: "You can lose at the home of Liverpool but we should not have lost like that.

"It has been a lesson for the future. This game has taught me many things, like the 2-0 defeat by Burnley.
"We will get better for next time and we will see a different performance after the international break."
On the injury suffered by keeper Heurelho Gomes, who was replaced by Pantilimon: "It is his knee, but I am not sure yet [how serious]. I am not sure if it's a twist or just a knock."

James Weld, from the estate, said the beach is the most visited part of the Jurassic Coast.
He said it was important for people to be able to get up close to the Door, which had only been accessible via a steep clay path since January 2013.

Amnesty International called the conviction of Mohamed Ramadan over online posts a "blatant assault on freedom", and proof that anti-terror laws were being used to target critics.
Ramadan was convicted, under a 2015 law, of using Facebook to harm unity and incite violence.
The government says the law is needed to fight terrorism.
It is unclear exactly what Ramadan, who is based in Alexandria and has represented alleged victims of torture, posted online last year.
Campaigners in Egypt believe he was prosecuted for his work defending human rights activists and political prisoners, the BBC's Orla Guerin reports from Cairo.
The lengthy sentence can be appealed against.
Mahienour al-Masry, a lawyer representing Ramadan, said his client was in hospital as the case was heard, the Mada Masr website reports.
The court ignored requests to adjourn the hearing and Ramadan was tried in absentia, the lawyer said.
On his Facebook page, Ramadan said he had been convicted by "the judiciary of the counter-revolution", according to the Associated Press news agency.
He said he was confident the current government in Egypt would not last for that long.

In addition to the 10-year jail term, the court in Alexandria ordered that Ramadan remain under house arrest for a further five years, during which he will be banned from using social media.
Amnesty, a UK-based group, called the sentence "utterly shocking" and said Ramadan was "exercising his right to freedom of expression".
The conviction is a "chilling illustration of the danger to peaceful critics" posed by the 2015 counter-terror law, Amnesty's Najia Bounaim said.
President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi imposed a three-month state of emergency after bombings targeting Coptic Christian churches killed at least 45 people on Sunday.
The president has been criticised by local and international groups for severe restrictions on civil and political rights in Egypt. He was elected in 2014, less than a year after he toppled the previous president, Mohammed Morsi.
Under Mr Sisi's presidency thousands of people have been arrested in a crackdown on Islamists and other critics of the government.
Why was a state of emergency imposed?
On Monday, five-time Grand Slam champion Maria Sharapova announced she had tested positive for the drug.
Meldonium, also known as mildronate, was developed to treat diabetes and various heart-related diseases but was banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) in January.
"We will see many deaths on the field," Ivars Calvins told BBC Radio 5 live.
"Athletes who use mildronate will not be able to do it in the future and will be not more protected."
The Latvian added: "This drug was on the market for 32 years - as a self-protective agent - and now suddenly it becomes forbidden.
"You could see a sudden death in the sports events sometimes."
In Short: Listen to the full interview with the inventor of meldonium
World number seven Sharapova said she has been taking the drug since 2006 for health reasons.
The 28-year-old Russian, who said she was unaware meldonium was added to Wada's list of banned substances on 1 January, failed a drugs test at the Australia Open later that month.
Sharapova, the highest-paid female athlete in the world in 2015, could be banned for as many as four years.

Meldonium also has the ability to adjust the body's use of energy, stimulating glucose metabolism and also helping to clear fatty build-up in the arteries - and could also have a positive effect on stamina and endurance in athletes.
Several athletes has tested positive for it in 2016, including 1500m world champion Abeba Aregawi, 2015 Tokyo Marathon winner Endeshaw Negesse and Russian ice dancer Ekaterina Bobrova.
Thirteen medallists from the 2015 European Games in Baku were also found to have been taking meldonium.
"As far as I'm concerned, the system works," former Wada president Sir Craig Reedie told BBC Sport.
"There is research on a drug, there is monitoring on a drug, there is information given to the athletes that it will come on to the prohibited list on a set date.
"I can't believe [there can be any excuse]."
UK Anti-Doping CEO Nicole Sapstead said she could not rule out a British athlete testing positive for meldonium.
"I will never say I'm confident about anything, because the nature of anti-doping is so unpredictable," she said.
"There's always a danger that when a new substance is introduced onto the prohibited list that athletes will be caught out. We'll just have to wait and see."
The ban came in a notice issued by the People's Bank of China, financial watchdogs and the nation's IT ministry.
Bitcoins were a "virtual good", had no legal status and should not be used as a currency, it said.
The decision comes after bitcoins' rapid rise in value was called a "bubble" by Alan Greenspan, former US Federal Reserve chairman.
Bitcoin is often referred to as a new kind of currency.
But it may be best to think of its units being virtual tokens rather than physical coins or notes.
However, like all currencies its value is determined by how much people are willing to exchange it for.
To process Bitcoin transactions, a procedure called "mining" must take place, which involves a computer solving a difficult mathematical problem with a 64-digit solution.
For each problem solved, one block of bitcoins is processed. In addition the miner is rewarded with new bitcoins.
This provides an incentive for people to provide computer processing power to solve the problems.
To compensate for the growing power of computer chips, the difficulty of the puzzles is adjusted to ensure a steady stream of about 3,600 new bitcoins a day.
There are currently about 11 million bitcoins in existence.
To receive a bitcoin a user must have a Bitcoin address - a string of 27-34 letters and numbers - which acts as a kind of virtual postbox to and from which the bitcoins are sent.
Since there is no registry of these addresses, people can use them to protect their anonymity when making a transaction.
These addresses are in turn stored in Bitcoin wallets which are used to manage savings.
They operate like privately run bank accounts - with the proviso that if the data is lost, so are the bitcoins owned.
The ban was imposed because bitcoins were not backed by any nation or central authority, said the notice.
It added that it was planning to step up its efforts to curb the use of bitcoins to launder cash.
Individuals were still free to trade in bitcoins but should be aware of the risks involved, said the People's Bank of China (PBOC), adding that it planned to formalise the regulation of exchanges that dealt in the digital cash.
Experts told Reuters the PBOC was moved to make its decision because Chinese nationals were heavily involved in trading the virtual currency. Many believe this is because it helps them avoid controls on trade in the yuan.
The value of bitcoins traded on Chinese exchanges fell after the announcement was made.
Interest in the virtual currency has seen its value soar in recent weeks.
On 28 November, the value of one bitcoin surpassed $1,000 for the first time.
The swift rise in value led Mr Greenspan to say the exchange rate for the virtual currency was "unsustainably high" in an interview with Bloomberg.
"It's a bubble", he said, going on to question the financial value people had pinned on bitcoins.
"You have to really stretch your imagination to infer what the intrinsic value of Bitcoin is," he said. "I haven't been able to do it. Maybe somebody else can."
Captain Charlotte Edwards top-scored with 65 in a total of 194 all out with four balls left of their 50 overs.
New Zealand lost wickets regularly and were 104 all out with Anya Shrubsole taking four for 36.
The tourists, who lost the first match by 67 runs, will look to make it two wins at the same venue on Sunday.
Shrubsole said: "We were not up to scratch the other day and were determined to come here and put in a great performance and a win on the board, so it's a happy dressing room.
"I've not bowled brilliantly on the trip so owed the girls a bit in terms of wickets. Charlotte threw me the ball and showed faith in me and thankfully it paid off for me."
The first three games of this five-match series count towards the International Cricket Council's Women's Championship, which determines qualification for the 2017 World Cup.
The Labour leader's spokesman said Mr Corbyn would be "using the opportunity" of Mr Xi's four-day visit, his first as Chinese leader, to raise his concerns.
Mr Corbyn was "always concerned that the government doesn't raise human rights issues", the spokesman said.
Ministers say they engage on the issue.
During a week-long visit to China last month, Chancellor George Osborne said he addressed the issue of human rights privately "in the context of talking about issues like economic development" - a stance applauded by the Chinese state media.
While on a visit to the restive Xinjiang province in the far west of the country, the first by a UK minister, Mr Osborne was urged by campaigners to be more vocal about the treatment of the area's Muslim Uighur minority.
Mr Osborne, who wants China to become the UK's second-largest trading partner, has insisted that the two countries have different political systems and traditions but that is not inconsistent with efforts to build commercial and cultural ties and co-operate in other areas.
Relations have improved since a diplomatic row in 2012 following David Cameron's meeting with the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama.
Mr Corbyn will attend a state banquet to be held at Buckingham Palace for President Xi, the first time the Labour leader has attended such an event.
His spokesman said discussions were being held to try to arrange private meetings with Chinese officials during the visit but did not categorically rule out Mr Corbyn using the royal function to do so if necessary.
"He will be raising issues about human rights next week," he said. "If he gets private meetings he will be doing it in those meetings - that's the right thing to do."
As a backbench MP, the Labour leader campaigned on human rights cases for decades, urging the release of political prisoners and calling on the UK to stop selling arms to "repressive" regimes.
In his conference speech last month, he highlighted the case of Ali Mohammed Baqir al-Nimr, a Saudi man who faces beheading after being convicted of crimes including breaking allegiance to the country's king,
The government announced on Tuesday that it was withdrawing from talks about a £5.9m contract to provide services to Saudi jails amid criticism of the country's criminal justice system, although ministers denied the decision was related to any individual case.
In relation to what Mr Corbyn would be wearing at the state banquet, his spokesman was unable to say whether he would wear white tie, as is customary at such an event, or if he owned such attire.
Asked if Mr Corbyn would be singing the national anthem, after being criticised for not doing so at a Battle of Britain memorial service last month, the spokesman said: "Jeremy will take full part."
He confirmed that the invitation was a "plus one" but that he didn't think Mr Corbyn would be taking his wife.
During the visit - the first Chinese state visit for a decade - President Xi is expected to address Parliament and hold talks with Mr Cameron.
Alafoti Faosiliva, 30, who plays for Samoa and Bath, admitted assaulting Nissi Kyeremeh on 6 February.
Bath Magistrates' Court heard the university student was punched after checking on the player, who seemed upset.
Faosiliva received an eight week sentence suspended for 12 months.
He was also ordered to pay Mr Kyeremeh £1,500 in compensation.
The court was told Faosiliva, of Mascroft Road in Trowbridge, Wiltshire, had "expressed remorse" for the assault.
Mark Haslem, representing the rugby player, said his client, who had been drinking in the SouthGate area of Bath, had "come to his senses" following the attack and tried to apologise.
"There was no premeditation. The defendant had completely lost the plot," Mr Haslem said.
After the attack Mr Kyeremeh told police: "He had no reason to behave in this way. My only action was to check on his welfare."
In a victim impact statement read to the court, Mr Kyeremeh said: "Since the incident I have suffered with dizziness, blurry vision and the inability to sleep.
"The incident has had a dramatic impact on my studies. I am unable to concentrate and unable to retain information."
Faosiliva, who joined Bath in 2013, has been suspended by the club and faces disciplinary proceedings.
Speaking outside court, Faosiliva said: "I want to apologise to my club, to my team, for what happened.
"I want to say thank you for the support."
PC Matthew Stocker, of Thames Valley Police, was found to have committed gross misconduct and breached the standards of professional behaviour.
He was dismissed without notice at a misconduct hearing.
The forcee said Mr Stocker, who was based in Maidenhead, used police records to find a work address for a female member of the public.
While on duty, Mr Stocker visited the female's place of work and told her colleagues that he wanted to speak to her about an investigation, which was not true, police said.
The offences took place between March and April 2016.
Det Chief Cst John Campbell said the officer's actions "undermined public confidence in the force".
The 58-year-old described the defeat by Charlton as an "unnatural disaster".
There were calls from some supporters last season for McCarthy to be sacked.
"We've got to play well on Saturday and we've pretty much got to win because if we don't, it's starting where we left off last season and that's not good for anybody," he told BBC Radio Suffolk.
Ipswich, who start the new campaign with a home game against Birmingham City on Saturday, finished 16th in the Championship in 2016-17.
Speaking about the Addicks thrashing, McCarthy said: "It was embarrassing. It was a complete shambles, a really disgraceful performance.
"I just said to them that if that was in November, the quote would be 'he's lost the dressing room and they don't want to play for him'. I know that's not the case, but that's what would be said."
McCarthy vowed that his side would perform better against Birmingham, but expects a poor reaction from supporters if they fail to do so.
"It doesn't bode well for anybody, how they feel about me, how they feel about the team, or how they feel about the club, getting slapped here, six," the former Wolves boss added.
"Come along and support us and cheer us and let's hope we can beat Birmingham, and if we don't, then I accept the inevitable."
Striker David McGoldrick is a doubt for Saturday after succumbing to an illness that has affected a number of players in pre-season.
"Whatever virus has been brought into the camp has had a fairly devastating effect. I don't know whether he'll be fit or not. If it's anything like Tom Adeyemi or Bersant Celina, it's going to be too soon for him," McCarthy added.
Bradley Johnson replaced George Thorne, with Will Hughes in a deeper role.
Asked following the 3-0 loss if he regretted that decision, Wassall told BBC Radio Derby: "No, not at all.
"Bradley played against Hull a few weeks ago and scored two goals in that position and Will played very well against Sheffield Wednesday."
Midfielder Johnson was brought in after Thorne suffered a broken leg during the recent defeat by Ipswich.
He struggled against Hull, giving the ball away in the build up to the opening goal, and was substituted in the second half.
"Hindsight is a wonderful thing. I don't think the selections caused that result," said Wassall. "We haven't performed as we have been doing over the past six or seven weeks when it matters."
Wassall also defended his decision not to make attacking changes earlier in the game.
Nick Blackman came on in the 71st minute and was eventually followed by fellow striker Darren Bent, whose late introduction was quickly followed by Hull's injury-time third goal.
"We were conscious that it's half-time in the tie and the one thing we didn't want to do was to go and concede a third goal," said Wassall.
McGuire's first half hat-trick was matched by efforts from Elliott Whitehead, Ben Jeffries and Matt Diskin to leave it at 18-18 at half-time.
McGuire went over twice more and Ablett rounded off a quick attack to put the game beyond the Bulls.
Elliott Kear crashed over late on to complete the victory that moves Leeds up to seventh in the league table.
The Rhinos were looking to bounce back after a disappointing home defeat by St Helens on Monday and also had revenge in mind having lost 12-4 at Odsal in April.
That match had seen a bumper crowd turn out to support the Bulls in a match that had been billed at the time as possibly their last ever, such was the severity of their financial problems.
Despite issues surrounding the fiscal future of Mick Potter's team still being unclear, Bradford headed into Sunday's match with their local rivals occupying the final play-off spot, while Brian McDermott's side started the game sitting one point and one place behind.
McGuire gave Leeds a dream start when he darted over from close in early on after they switched the play to excellent effect.
The lead was short-lived though as Whitehead just about forced his way over the line following a quick Bulls reset inside the 10-metre line, the try eventually being given after deliberation by the video referee
Jeffries, a try-scorer in the Bulls win over Leeds earlier this season, showed good feet to get through a gap in the Rhinos defence and put his side into the lead.
Things got worse for McDermott's side when Jamie Peacock failed to deal with an up and under from Luke Gale and Diskin dived on to the loose ball on the Rhinos goal line.
Leeds were back within one score in controversial circumstances, McGuire latching in to Webb's pass and despite the ball appearing to have gone forward the try was awarded.
If that try owed more than a little to good fortune, there was nothing fortuitous about McGuire's third. Rob Burrow showed wonderful skill to weave through the Bulls defence before off-loading to McGuire, who had the simple task of running in unchallenged from the 40-metre line.
Another great breakaway, this time led by Sinfield, put Leeds back in front. The Rhinos skipper bamboozled two Bulls players with a clever dummy before feeding McGuire to run in once more.
Ablett rounded off a quick Leeds breakaway by stepping inside two challenges and going over from close in before a field goal from Sinfield put the game beyond Bradford.
Leeds further showcased their authority when McGuire sprinted over from another Webb pass for his fifth try, to match the haul of Warrington Joel Monaghan in his side's win over Widnes on Saturday.
Kear's late try, when he did well to hold off three Leeds tackles to touch down, was scant consolation at the end of a hard-fought match.
Leeds coach Brian McDermott said:
"That wasn't the reaction I wanted after Monday's defeat. We made too many bad decisions.
"We defended well in parts in the second half but I'm not going to be punching the air about that.
"We've needed individual brilliance to win us the match. I don't think anyone grabbed the game by the scruff of the neck."
Bradford coach Mick Potter said:
"We didn't finishour sets off and we lost some shape with the injuries we picked up.
"Matt Diskin has injured his shoulder and gone straight to hospital. That could be quite a serious one.
"It was extreme conditions out there and I think they handled them very well.
"It was an entertaining game for the fans but not the right scoreline for us."
The UN High Commissioner for Refugees said the number of people seeking haven in neighbouring countries had jumped since the beginning of the year.
Half of the refugees were children, the UN said, most of them under 11 and often traumatised by their experiences.
The largest numbers of refugees were seeking shelter in Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, Iraq and Egypt.
The figure includes registered refugees and newer arrivals awaiting registration.
"Syria is spiralling towards full-scale disaster," the UN High Commissioner for Refugees Antonio Guterres said in a statement, warning that the international humanitarian response capacity was "dangerously stretched".
"This tragedy has to be stopped," he added, warning that the influx of people had also stretched the resources of Syria's neighbours.
The millionth refugee recorded by UNHCR was a 19-year-old mother of two called Bushra.
"Our situation is so bad, everything is so expensive, we can't find any work... The situation is so bad, I live with 20 other people in one room," Bushra told reporters in the Lebanese city of Tripoli.
Many of those who have fled conflict now live in difficult conditions, with poor sanitation and insufficient resources to cope with the harsh winters.
By Yolande KnellBBC News, Zaatari camp
Some 2,000 refugees crossed into Jordan from Syria in the past 24 hours. Many were brought to the large tent for new arrivals just inside the Zaatari camp. They could be seen lying sprawled, exhausted and dishevelled, on mats and blankets laid on the floor.
"We came because of the shelling and air strikes. They destroyed our houses, they left nothing for us," said an old woman from Homs. "It took us nearly five days to get here walking through fields."
A young mother told us how Syrian forces had shot at them as they tried to leave. "We were so afraid we had an accident on the road. We thought we were going to die," she said.
By late afternoon, the refugees were registered by the UNHCR and had moved to their own basic shelters. But officials here say the increasing flow of refugees threatens to overwhelm them.
"The international community is failing to find a political solution inside Syria and so people are continuing to flee," says Andrew Harper, head of UNHCR in Jordan. "We'll probably have another 100,000 people arrive in the next four or five weeks."
In Lebanon, for example, the influx of almost a third of a million refugees since last February has swollen the country's population by 10%.
Turkey, providing a temporary home for some 184,000 refugees, has spent more than $600m (459m euros; £396m) setting up 17 refugee camps, and is building new ones to meet the increasing need, the UN said.
"These countries should not only be recognised for their unstinting commitment to keeping their borders open for Syrian refugees, they should be massively supported as well," Mr Guterres said.
On Tuesday, Jordan's King Abdullah called on world nations to help his country, Turkey and Lebanon to shoulder "the tremendous burden" of caring for the huge influx of people.
UK charity Oxfam says that only 20% of $1.5bn promised by international donors in January has arrived, "leaving agencies struggling to respond to the urgent needs of refugees".
The rush of refugees has surprised even UN experts, who had originally estimated that the one million figure would not be reached until the end of June 2013.
In effect, more than 400,000 have became refugees since 1 January 2013.
The UN's emergency response plan for Syrian refugees, Oxfam said, currently lacked 75% of the funding required.
Jordan's Petra news agency said that a total of 2,257 Syrian refugees had crossed into the country on Tuesday alone.
Some 110,000 of those who have sought shelter in Jordan are living in the desert camp of Zaatari, near its northern border with Syria.
The conflict in Syria began almost two years ago with demonstrations against the government of President Bashar al-Assad.
The protests quickly turned violent as opponents of Mr Assad took up arms to try to resist a brutal crackdown by the authorities.
The conflict has left more than 70,000 people dead and two million internally displaced, of a pre-conflict population of 20.7 million.
Also on Wednesday, the Commander of the rebel Free Syrian Army, Gen Selim Idriss, called for the lifting of the EU arms embargo against Syria, saying it is having a much more negative effect on the opposition than on the Assad regime.
Gen Idriss told the BBC's Chris Morris in Brussels that opposition forces desperately needed weapons and ammunition, and that the war would be longer and bloodier if the embargo remained in place.
UK Foreign Secretary William Hague said on Wednesday that the UK was going to provide armoured vehicles and body armour to Syrian opposition forces in a bid to end a crisis that had reached what he called "catastrophic proportions".
His announcement in the House of Commons stopped short of arming the rebels, but he told the BBC on Sunday that the UK would not rule out doing so in future.
In a separate development, Arab League foreign ministers invited the Syrian main opposition to take the country's seat at the league.
The ministers asked the Syrian National Coalition to send its representative to the group's meeting in Doha later this month.
The 22-member league suspended Syria's membership in 2011.
The 35-year-old former Sweden international moved to Old Trafford on a free transfer in the summer, with the option of extending his deal for a second season.
He has scored eight goals in 17 games in all competitions this term.
Mourinho said: "We are going to execute the option of a second season. After that he can do what he wants."
Ibrahimovic said: "I feel in shape, feel fresh and good. If I feel like I do now, it will be a second year."
Ibrahimovic, who scored 62 goals in 116 games for Sweden before retiring from international football in June, left French champions Paris St-Germain at the end of last season.
The former Ajax, Juventus, Inter Milan, Barcelona and AC Milan forward has won a trophy every season since 2001, including 13 league titles.
He will have a statue erected in Stockholm in his honour after being named Sweden's top player for a 10th successive year on Monday.

Arafat Jaradat, 30, appeared to have died of a heart attack on Saturday, the Israeli prison service said.
Palestinians said an autopsy performed on Sunday revealed signs of torture, but Israelis said injuries were probably from attempts at resuscitation and that key tests were still needed.
Israel has launched an investigation into what happened.
Mr Jaradat's death comes after a week of violent clashes between the Israeli army and Palestinian youths over the continued detention of four hunger strikers.
The clashes continued on Sunday, fuelled by news of Mr Jaradat's death.
Stone-throwing protesters in the West Bank towns of Hebron, Ramallah, Nablus, Jenin and elsewhere faced off with Israeli soldiers deploying tear gas and stun grenades.
One Palestinian man was said to have been seriously wounded after being hit with live rounds.
In Gaza City, women gathered with flags and posters to protest at the conditions of more than 4,500 Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails.
At least 3,000 Palestinian prisoners are believed to have refused meals on Sunday in protest at Mr Jaradat's death.
Mr Jaradat, a father of two from the village of Sair, near Hebron, in the southern West Bank, died suddenly on Saturday in Israeli's Megido prison.
He was arrested last week on suspicion of throwing stones at Israeli soldiers.
Palestinian human rights groups have suggested Mr Jaradat died either during or shortly after interrogation.
On Sunday, Mr Jaradat's body underwent an autopsy attended by a Palestinian pathologist.
A preliminary findings statement said that "no signs of external injury were found apart from marks of resuscitation and a small friction on the right side of the chest".
But it added that "the preliminary findings are not sufficient to determine the cause of death", saying the results of additional tests had not yet been received.
This judgment was dismissed by Palestinian Minister of Prisoners Issa Karake, who said the Palestinian doctor attending the autopsy had told him there was no sign of a heart attack.
"The evidence corroborates our suspicion that Jaradat died as a result of torture, especially since the autopsy clearly proved that the victim's heart was healthy," Mr Karake said in a statement.

He called for an independent international inquiry into Israel's treatment of Palestinian detainees.
Earlier, an envoy for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made "an unequivocal demand" to the Palestinian Authority to calm the surge of protests.
But a senior aide to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas blamed Israel for the upsurge in anger - and analysts say the protests seem likely to continue in light of the claims surrounding the death of Mr Jaradat, who is due to be buried on Monday.
A statement from the office of Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad on Saturday expressed "deep sorrow and shock over the martyrdom of prisoner Arafat Jaradat".
As of December 2012, Israel held 4,517 Palestinians in its jails.
Of these 1,031 are being held until the conclusion of legal proceedings, 178 are in administrative detention and 170 are under 18 years of age.
Israeli officials say they use administrative detention when they fear an immediate risk to security or to protect informants.
The Palestinian Prisoners' Club said the number of inmates on open-ended hunger strike had climbed to 11 from four.
Team boss Toto Wolff said the search would start on Monday, with a decision expected by the end of 2016.
"It is a huge loss because we had the quickest driver set-up over the last three years," Lauda told Sportsweek.
"I need a driver for the first test in February when the new car is ready."
He added: "We have to train him on the simulator and into the team, so we should have a decision before the end of the year."
Rosberg retired five days after beating British team-mate Lewis Hamilton to clinch his first world title.
Hamilton, a three-time world champion, has said he "doesn't care" who is picked as the German's replacement.
Speaking on BBC Radio 5 live, Lauda added: "Nico and Lewis were pushing each other. Lewis won two championships and Nico won one. Now we have to find a better man than Nico because we want to continue to win.
"This is a big problem for us to find a replacement, so I cannot tell you now because we have to think about it, contact everybody and make proper research into who we are going to put in the best car in Formula 1.
"We have the best car to offer but at the moment no driver. The other drivers, or the majority certainly, have 1 December contracts for next year so really we have to do good research, who is there, what and when and then we will take a decision, but it will take a while."
Lauda retired from F1 in 1979 before coming back to win the 1984 World Championship. He quit the sport as a driver on a permanent basis a year later.
Asked about Rosberg's decision to retire, he said: "I was really surprised - this was never on my radar that this could happen.
"I spoke to him afterwards to find out because I did this twice in my career and I really wanted to make sure it was not a quick decision which he might regret and I wanted to find out how sure he is.
"Of my question 'how sure are you?' he said '1,000%'. Then I knew that it is over - you cannot convince him any more."
Only 150 of the bronze commemorative "coins" will be struck at Llantrisant site in Rhondda Cynon Taf, with all 57 Newport schools also being given one each as a memento.
One side features a map of Wales, the other side has the Nato summit logo.
It is not officially a coin as it does not have the Queen's head on it, so is not legal tender.
Wales Office Minister Baroness Randerson said: "It is a great way to help mark the biggest gathering of world leaders the UK has ever hosted".
She will join the deputy mayor and mayoress of Newport to see the striking of the final piece on Wednesday.
Each piece is 63mm in diameter and was designed by the Royal Mint's engraver Jody Clark.
It features the Nato logo and the words 'Nato Summit Wales 2014' in English and Welsh.
Shane Bissett, the Mint's director of commemorative coin, medals and bullion, added: "It is our great honour to have the opportunity to mark this year's Nato Wales 2014 Summit in this way, and leave the world leaders with a lasting reminder of their visit to Wales."
The summit will take place on 4-5 September.
US President Barack Obama, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Francois Hollande are expected to attend along with leaders and senior ministers from around 60 other countries.
Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary said abuse of authority for sexual gain was now the "most serious" form of corruption facing police in England and Wales.
The watchdog's figures were gathered over two years to the end of March.
The National Police Chiefs' Council described the problem as a "disease".
It acknowledged that more needed to be done to "root it out and inoculate policing for the future".
Chief Constable Stephen Watson, the NPCC's lead for counter-corruption, said: "It is the most serious form of corruption and it can never be justified or condoned."
436
reported allegations of abuse of authority for sexual gain
306 police officers accused
28 Police Community Support Officers and police staff also accused
40% of allegations involved victims of crime
HMIC said its police "legitimacy" inspection was positive overall, with high satisfaction among victims at how they were treated.
The watchdog was asked to investigate the extent of the problem earlier this year, by the then Home Secretary Theresa May.
It found that 306 officers, 20 PCSOs and eight police staff were involved in 436 reported allegations.
The data also showed all but one constabulary had received at least one allegation, and that almost 40% of accusations involved victims of domestic abuse.
Other people who were allegedly exploited were thought to include arrested suspects and people with drug or alcohol problems.
The report also found:
HM Inspector Mike Cunningham, who led the review, said the problem of sexual exploitation could be "more serious" than the reported numbers and forces needed to become "far more proactive in rooting out" such corruption.
Mr Cunningham told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "Make no mistake about it, the sexual exploitation of vulnerable women is corruption. It is using authority for personal gain, which is a definition of corruption.
"It is the most serious corruption problem in the sense that it is the ultimate betrayal of trust, where the guardian becomes the abuser. That is what we are seeing in these cases, and we're seeing too many.
"The allegations that we collected across the country are not closed allegations, they're not confirmed or finalised allegations but nevertheless they are allegations."
Police officers convicted of sex crimes include:
Mr Cunningham said people such as former Northumbria officer Stephen Mitchell, who is serving two life sentences for serious sexual offences including rape, were clearly predators.
Others, he said, were opportunistic and found themselves in circumstances where they could abuse their power and authority.
Det Supt Ray Marley, of the College of Policing, said the report "highlighted a number of unacceptable cases which have a significant impact on the victims and public confidence".
Home Secretary Amber Rudd described the report as "shocking".
"It undermines justice and public confidence and there is no place in the police for anyone guilty of this sort of abuse," she said.
She said she had met the College of Policing and the NPCC to discuss action needed to tackle the problem.
"The vast majority of police officers do their jobs with integrity and I know they will share my determination to ensure the most vulnerable in our society are given the protection they deserve," she said.
In the wake of the report, IPCC chairwoman Dame Anne Owers has written to chief constables in England and Wales urging them to ensure that all cases involving abuse of authority for sexual gain are referred to the commission.
The report assessed whether officers were seen by the public consistently to behave fairly, ethically and within the law.
Two forces - Derbyshire and Kent - were graded as outstanding, 36 as good, and five - Cleveland, Dyfed-Powys, Gloucestershire, North Wales and South Yorkshire - as requiring improvement. No forces were graded as inadequate.
There are a total of 200,000 police officers and staff in England and Wales.

Earlier in the day Wales' men won promotion to the top tier of European hockey by beating France 4-3 in their semi-final in Glasgow.
The win sent Wales' men into their final on Saturday, against Scotland.
It also meant promotion to the the eight-nation European A Division for the first time in 2019 while their female counterparts will stay in the B Division.
Wales women had beaten Austria and Poland, but lost to Belarus on the way to the semi-finals.
They face Italy in Saturday's play-off for third place while Belarus lie in wait for Russia in the final.
Neither Wales side has been in the EuroHockey A Division since it was reduced to eight teams more than a decade ago.
The nation's women were playing in the third tier just four years ago.
Wales captain Abi Welsford told BBC Wales Sport: "We put everything we could into the performance and just ended up on the wrong side of the result. They had a few more penalty corners than us and they took their chances well. We'll take heart in the way we performed and will be aiming for a third place finish now."
Head coach Kevin Johnson added: "We can be very proud of the way we tried to play the game. Every time we go out and play we want to be a better team and we're doing that. We're on a quest to push up the world rankings and continue to gain ranking points. This tournament has already been a success for that."
Customers who use gas or electricity from the company will save an average of £50 a year, and those who use both will save on average £100 a year.
The company has 350,000 domestic and small business customers.
Gas tariffs will reduce from April by 10.2%, with electricity following in June by 10.3%.
The business has 210,000 electricity customers and 135,000 gas customers.
SSE Airtricity's managing director, Stephen Wheeler, said: "This is the third successive price cut in just over 12 months meaning in the same period we've delivered savings of £260 for our household customers."
The company said the price cut follows an annual review of costs associated with its natural gas business.
Earlier this month, Power NI announced electric bills for its 500,000 domestic customers would fall by 10.3% from April.
It said the move was made possible by a steady fall in the price of wholesale gas, the main fuel used in electricity generation.
The Utility Regulator, which regulates SSE Airtricity's gas prices, welcomed the price cut.
Utility Regulator chief executive, Jenny Pyper, said: "This reduction follows on from two price decreases in 2015, meaning that over the last year, these customers will have experienced a drop in prices of almost 24%.
"Friday's announcement brings the regulated price in Greater Belfast down to levels last seen in 2009 and represents a saving to customers of over £53 per year.
"Whilst we don't price regulate SSE Airtricity in respect of their electricity prices, their 10.3% reduction is further good news for consumers, which we welcome."
Richard Williams, head of energy at the Consumer Council, said: "This is great news.
"The Consumer Council now wants to see the other gas and electricity companies compete for customers by bringing their prices down.
"Consumers consistently tell us energy bills are their biggest concern."
Activist Akeela Ahmed says she uses Twitter to campaign on equality issues. Her profile picture shows her in her hijab.
"If I tweet something to do with women's rights, I'll get tweets usually from men saying, 'How can you tweet that when you've got that thing on your head?' They're talking about my hijab.
"Post-Paris, the abuse increased and it was a lot worse," she says, referring to negative comments posted online following the attack on the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, in which gunmen said they were killing in the name of Islam.
"One particular person was quite specific in their threats and wanting to kill Muslims. Normally, I'm not threatened by it, but on this occasion I was."
That Twitter account has been taken down. But there are concerns that some Islamophobic content remains online.
Campaigners from the organisation Tell Mama, which monitors hate against Muslims online, sent Asian Network some examples.
"When events like Paris happen, what seems to happen is that people on social media sites have bigger discussions,"says Bharath Ganesh.
"The language we've seen is extremely derogatory towards Muslims.
"Hashtags like #killallmuslims appear. Some Muslims used that hashtag to highlight anti-Islamic sentiments online."
Akeela says she understands where the anger stems from.
"As we see more terrorist incidents globally, many people feel anger about terror attacks and they go online and use their medium to vent their anger. But, as a result, there is an increase in anti-Muslim sentiment generally.
"On Facebook, it's a problem too. There are some groups who promote anti-Muslim sentiments. It's about dealing responsibly with these issues."
Facebook and Twitter both urge users to report anti-Islamic content. The Attorney General, Jeremy Wright - the government's legal adviser - has signalled he would like to meet with both firms to see what more can be done in this area.
Maaiysa Valli, a BBC journalist, was tweeting in a personal capacity when she used the #NotInMyName hashtag that Muslims have been using to distance themselves from extremists.
The photo was retweeted more than 400 times, with one response describing her as an "uneducated animal".
She says: "I got a few comments to start with that were saying things like, 'You shouldn't be following this religion.'
"Then Maajid Nawaz - the chairman of the Quilliam Foundation - retweeted it. He has more than 30,000 followers, and I got so many notifications."
She blocked and reported a number of users, and says the experience has made her aware of "how brave people can be behind a keyboard".
A number of accounts which targeted her have been disabled.
Mehdi Hasan is the political director of the Huffington Post UK, and says he has had death threats online.
"It's pretty depressing. The number one issue that drives people up the wall on Twitter seems to be Islam. It's become so regular, you become immune to it. It's mainly anonymous people full of hatred.
"As a Muslim journalist in the public eye, it doesn't matter what you write about, all roads lead back to your faith.
"On the one hand, I expect abuse when I write about terrorism or the halal meat hysteria.
"What I don't understand is how everything is related back to Islam - for instance, even if I interview a politician about austerity, people will say, 'Oh, it's because you're a Muslim you're writing that.'"
In a statement, Twitter said: "We review all reported content against our rules which include a ban on targeted abuse and direct, specific threats of violence against others."
Meanwhile, a Facebook spokesperson said: "We take hate speech seriously and remove any content reported to us that directly attacks others based on their race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex, gender, sexual orientation, disability or medical condition.
"With a diverse global community of more than a billion people, we occasionally see people post content which, whilst not against our rules, some people may find offensive."
Facebook also spoke about the power of counter speech, which involves people challenging other users online.
It added: "We aim to strike the right balance between giving people the freedom to express themselves and maintaining a safe and trusted environment."
Akeela says that she hopes Twitter and Facebook do more to tackle Islamophobic abuse online: "Ordinary Muslims are getting abuse for expressing their views.
"I worked for a Muslim youth charity for a number of years, and have received Islamophobic abuse online for a while. But it has got worse."

Spanning thousands of acres of virtually untouched plains, rain-forested mountains, Amerindian villages and rare wildlife, it's one of the brightest jewels in Guyana's tourism crown.
Venezuela wants all of this - and more. It has long maintained it has a legitimate claim to two-thirds of Guyana's current territory.
That encompasses 250,000 people in 700 villages and communities, the formidable Kaieteur Falls - the world's highest single-drop waterfall - and most of Guyana's precious mineral resources to boot.
The decades-old dispute could now be a step closer to being resolved, after UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon promised to deliver an assessment before he leaves office at the end of December. He was responding to renewed calls to intervene from Guyanese President David Granger at September's UN General Assembly in New York.
The bitter dispute has its roots in border lines drawn up by former colonial powers. While Guyana accepts a 1899 tribunal ruling, Venezuela insists the process was flawed by political collusion, staking a claim over the entire Essequibo county - "Cinderella county" to Guyanese - everything west of the Essequibo river.
Guyana's gifts to the world
Vast amounts of offshore oil discovered in the Stabroek Block, 120 miles (200km) out into the Atlantic, by Guyanese subsidiaries of ExxonMobil reignited and widened the spat in May 2015.
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro promptly issued a decree of sovereignty over waters off the Essequibo region and demanded a stop to oil exploration. A subsequent find in June this year was also estimated to be worth tens of billions of dollars. ExxonMobil told the BBC it would not comment on "proprietary commercial" issues.
Guyana says the ongoing feud is hindering the country's development as it wrestles with a crippling housing crisis and high youth unemployment, despite being recently recognised by the World Bank as an upper-middle-income nation.
Around the Rupununi's dusty laterite roads, linking tiny indigenous settlements and the commercial centre of Lethem, the sun assaults the bleached savannah grasses. The Kanuku mountains turn violet in the haze.
This is south-western Guyana, far away from the capital, Georgetown, and people here laugh off the claims of what they consider their truculent, acquisitive neighbour.
"It's only the politicians we ever hear talk about it," says Linda Khan, owner of the Savannah Inn hotel and store. "I have been here since 1976 and nobody has ever come from Venezuela and said they're going to take this land. The only Venezuelans we see are the ones who come searching for food because of shortages back home."
Thomas George, from the nearby Amerindian village of Mocu Mocu, agrees. "We hear about it in the news; it rises and it dies again. But it doesn't make us feel vulnerable - we ain't giving up the mountains."
Back in Georgetown, national sentiment is rather more vitriolic. The ubiquitous slogan "Essequibo is we own" clamours for attention from banners and bumper stickers alike.
The 117th anniversary of the 1899 ruling on 3 October sparked another war of words between the two countries. The Kaieteur News quoted Venezuela's government as lambasting Guyana for using "lies and subterfuge" to ramp up hostility.
Guyana's foreign ministry immediately issued a statement decrying a "frenzied display of ill temper" from Venezuela - which it dubs the "new conquistadors" with a "greed for territory".
"As far as we're concerned, the border was settled in 1899," Guyana's Vice-President Sydney Allicock tells the BBC. "Every time Venezuela has economic problems, they work up their people to get support for the border issue. Now we have found oil they're doing it again."
He says that revenue generated from the oil could dramatically improve Guyana's essential infrastructure and food security.
"Venezuela is already big; they are blocking us from developing," he says, adding: "This has been going on far too long. We need to settle it - and we won't give up."
During last month's address to the UN, President Granger reiterated pleas for the dispute to be referred to the International Court of Justice for a final settlement.
Venezuela has often said it prefers the route of the UN's Good Offices process - diplomatic discussions involving a third party acceptable to both sides.
Only time can predict the fate of Cinderella county, the pearl of the nation.
Gen Ntaganda was first indicted in 2006 by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for allegedly recruiting child soldiers during the Democratic Republic of Congo's bloody five-year war.
He has now been transferred to The Hague after surrendering to the US embassy in Rwanda after losing a power-struggle within his rebel group.
Additional charges of rape, murder, persecution based on ethnic grounds and the deliberate targeting of civilians were added in May 2012 as a result of evidence given during the trial of his co-accused and former boss, warlord Thomas Lubanga - the first person to be found guilty by the court two months earlier.
A witness testified that as a child he fought alongside "The Terminator" - saying he was a man who "kills people easily".
He denies the charges.
Gen Ntaganda is "just as dangerous as [Ugandan rebel leader] Joseph Kony", said ICC chief prosecutor Fatou Bensouda.
"Not arresting Bosco, allowing him to walk freely, like he's not committed any crimes, is unacceptable," Ms Bensouda says.
But that is exactly what happened, with President Joseph Kabila refusing to arrest him - for the sake of Congo's peace, he has said.
And so, for years, the ex-rebel-turned-army general had been free in the eastern town of Goma, enjoying a life of impunity and luxury, which has included fine wine and dining and games of tennis.
The local population was not so lucky.
They blame Mr Ntaganda and his soldiers for a series of rapes, looting and murders - in North and South Kivu provinces, and in the Ituri district of north-eastern DR Congo.
Bosco Ntaganda was born in 1973 in Kiningi, a small town on the foothills of Rwanda's Virunga mountain range, famous for its gorillas.
As a teenager, Mr Ntaganda fled to Ngungu, in eastern DR Congo, following attacks on fellow ethnic Tutsis in Rwanda.
He attended secondary school there - but did not graduate.
In 1990, at the age of 17, he joined the Rwandan Patriotic Front rebels in southern Uganda.
He fought, under the command of RPF leader - now Rwandan President - Paul Kagame, to end the genocide.
After Rwandan unrest spilled over into DR Congo, he started to flip between fighting rebellions and serving in national armies - both Rwandan and Congolese.
In 2002, he joined the rebel Union of Congolese Patriots in the Ituri district - and spent the next three years as Thomas Lubanga's chief of military operations.
Mr Ntaganda then joined yet another rebel group - the CNDP - under the leadership of Laurent Nkunda, a key power-broker in the east of the country who, like Gen Ntaganda, had started his military career in the Rwandan rebel force that ended the genocide.
With the backing of Rwanda, he went on to overthrow Gen Nkunda and take over the leadership of the CNDP militia.
Despite being wanted by the ICC for alleged war crimes, by 2009 Mr Ntaganda was soldiering on the side of President Kabila - and was promoted to general.
He was based in Goma, where he was in charge of up to 50,000 soldiers, many of them former rebels who remained personally loyal to him.
According to a UN investigation, Mr Ntaganda built a lucrative business empire for himself in North and South Kivu - reportedly collecting taxes from mines controlled by the soldiers under his command, charcoal markets and illegal checkpoints.
At one stage, Mr Ntaganda was making about $15,000 (£10,000) a week at one border crossing, a 2011 report by the UN Group of Experts found.
He also is thought to own a flour factory, a hotel, a bar and a cattle ranch outside Goma.
Human Rights Watch researcher Anneke van Woudenberg has met "The Terminator" several times.
He is not an articulate or persuasive speaker, Ms van Woudenberg says.
But, standing at just over 6ft (1.8m) tall, he has a certain presence and charisma - and likes to wear leather cowboy-style hats.
But it is his ruthlessness that really stood out for her: "He is someone who will never face up to his crimes. He always denies and comes up with excuse after excuse to justify what he has done."
The list of his alleged crimes is huge - and Congolese people say "The Terminator" is regarded as a man who leads from the front and personally takes part in military operations.
In November 2008 international journalists filmed him commanding and ordering his troops in the village of Kiwanja, 90km (55 miles) north of Goma, where 150 people were massacred in a single day.
He also commanded troops accused of having killed, because of their ethnicity, at least 800 civilians in the town of Mongbwalu, in Ituri district in 2002, after his troops took control of the rich gold mines in the area.
In early April 2012, he defected from the Congolese army - leaving Goma, taking with him up to 600 heavily armed soldiers.
On 11 April, Mr Kabila finally called for his arrest - but he said he would not be handing Gen Ntaganda to the ICC.
Later that year, Gen Ntaganda's M23 rebel group seized Goma before agreeing to withdraw.
Months of fighting have forced some 800,000 people to flee their homes.
But in unexplained circumstances and with the rebels under intense international pressure, they split.
Gen Ntaganda lost out to loyalists of his rival, Col Sultani Makenga, and apparently fearing death, he walked into the US embassy in Kigali, from where he was transferred to The Hague to finally face justice.
Under the threat of a German invasion, a network of guard houses or pillboxes were built along the old Royal Military Canal near the Romney Marsh.
The invasion never came and the concrete structures were abandoned and fell into disrepair.
Now the National Trust is converting a pillbox at Kenardington into a roost for hibenating bats.
David Lewis, from the trust, said: "It would have been manned by the local Dad's army - local volunteers manning heavy duty machine guns."
Sticking their guns out through the slots in the pillbox, the volunteers would have had a clear view across the marsh to watch for potential invaders.
Today, the cold, dark, damp conditions inside are ideal for hibernating bats.
Mr Lewis said: "Having been out of use since the last war, it will be nice to put it back into something useful.
According to the National Trust, the location of the Kenardington pillbox is ideal as it is surrounded by an exceptionally good feeding habitat of woodland corridors, meadows and water.
The area provides a number of good breeding sites, but few hibernation opportunities.
"There are not many caves out here so what we are providing is an artificial cave. It will be the 'des res' in the area for bats," said Mr Lewis.
The conversion will entail blocking up the gun slots and painting them black to give the impression of dark holes.
Wooden batons secured to the inner walls will support timber planks and tiles for the bats to crawl behind for their hibernation period.
A metal grill gate will then be fitted in the entrance to prevent unauthorised access.
Karen Hammond, from Hastings Bat Hospital, said: "They are losing their habitats at the moment - they are under threat they are on the protected species list.
"The more that we can make people aware of them and the problems they have, then the better it is for the bats.
"If we can provide more of these for them, hopefully their numbers will come up."

The trees include a large number that have been infected with Dutch elm disease.
Aberdeen City Council said about 400 trees would be felled. They are mainly beside roads, but others are in parks, gardens and play areas.
The authority has about 100,000 trees and 400 hectares of woodland to look after in the city.
About 50 dead elm trees have been identified around Aberdeen with Kincorth, Summerhill, Rosehill, Cults, Culter, Stoneywood, and Bridge of Don particularly affected.
Aberdeen City Council's infrastructure convener, Neil Cooney, said: "We do not want to cut down trees but unfortunately we must, especially where there is Dutch elm disease to try and stop it from spreading.
"Our priority is to have safe and healthy trees for residents and visitors to enjoy in all parts of the city as part of our beautiful and vibrant green spaces.
"Removing dead or diseased trees means there is more room for the healthy trees to grow. Our arboricultural team will be undertaking this work over the next few months."
Dutch elm disease is one of the most serious tree diseases in the world. It has killed more than 60 million British elms in two epidemics and continues to spread.
It is caused by an aggressive fungus spread by elm bark beetles and infects all of Britain's elm species.
The elms die within three years of first signs of the disease, but may die within a season.
The Department for Transport says offenders face fines of thousands of pounds or a jail sentence.
Since 2009 there have been about 1,500 attacks per year on aircraft.
A 2010 law introduced protections for pilots. The new legislation widens the protection while increasing penalties.
People currently convicted of "shining a light at an aircraft in flight so as to dazzle or distract the pilot" face fines of up to £2,500 under the Air Navigation Order.
If the distraction is deemed to be serious, offenders may face prosecution for reckless endangerment, which carries a prison sentence.
A DfT spokesman said: "This new law will make it even safer for aircraft travel as well as passengers using buses, taxis and trains."
He added the current law means police have to prove a person endangered the aircraft when committing the offence of shining a laser, while the new law will mean that police will only have to prove the offence of shining the laser.
Transport Secretary Chris Grayling said: "Shining a laser pointer at pilots or drivers is incredibly dangerous and could have fatal consequences.
"Whilst we know laser pens can be fun and many users have good intentions, some are not aware of the risks of dazzling drivers or pilots putting public safety at risk."
The first laser attack on an aircraft was reported in 2004 with more than 200 incidents annually by 2008.
The rate has increased substantially in recent years and similar attacks have been reported on train and bus drivers.
Steve Landells, flight safety specialist at the British Airline Pilots Association said: "Any move to give the police and authorities more powers to tackle this real and growing threat to flight safety is a good thing, and we are pleased that the government has included action on lasers in this bill."
In February 2016, a New York-bound plane was forced to turn back to London Heathrow Airport when a a laser beam hit the cockpit after take off, causing a "medical issue" for one of the pilots.
The incident prompted the British Airline Pilots Association to call on the government to classify laser pointers as offensive weapons, a plea later echoed by the Civil Aviation Authority.
The DfT said the new powers and penalties will be outlined in upcoming legislation.
Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said the woman suffered "minor injuries" in the attack which took place in a Manchester park on Saturday afternoon.
The force said the 25 year-old woman was jogging in Fog Lane Park in Didsbury when a man assaulted her.
A force spokesman said extra patrols are now operating in the area.
The woman was jogging at about 15:00 GMT when she said she heard rustling in some bushes.
She was knocked to the floor by the man who held an "unknown object" to her throat as she went to investigate, a police spokesman said.
He added that the man fled after being disturbed.
Det Insp Gareth Davies from GMP's South Manchester Division said: "This was a terrifying attack on a woman who had stopped to check that someone else wasn't in danger."
Room 13 International started at Caol Primary School in Caol, near Fort William, more than 20 years ago.

The 17-time Grand Slam champion from Switzerland needed arthroscopic surgery to repair a torn meniscus.
His place in the draw is taken by lucky loser Horacio Zeballos of Argentina.
Federer's last match was his Australian Open semi-final defeat to world number one Novak Djokovic.
The Swiss revealed on Thursday that he had spent 12 days on crutches following his first experience of surgery, and had only begun full training "probably a week ago, nine days ago".
"If I feel something, I won't play. It's very simple," he said, but 24 hours later it was a virus rather than the knee that forced him to withdraw.
His original comeback plan had focused on the clay-court season in Europe next month, and that now appears to be the likely schedule. | Human rights groups have condemned the 10-year jail term given to an Egyptian lawyer for criticising the government.

Latvia's Sevastova, the 16th seed, won 5-7 6-4 6-2 to reach the quarter-finals in New York.
The 27-year-old will play Sloane Stephens in the quarter-finals, after the American beat Julia Goerges.
Sharapova, ranked 146th after returning from a doping ban in April, was given a wildcard into the main draw.
The 2006 champion had played just one match since May coming into Flushing Meadows, with injuries forcing her out of the grass-court season and US Open build-up.
She played superbly to upset world number two Simona Halep on the first day of the tournament, and then beat Timea Babos and Sofia Kenin on her way to the last 16.
Sevastova proved too strong, however, the 5ft 5in Latvian's defensive skills and ability to create angles ultimately derailing the Russian.
"The first set was very close, it could have gone either way," said Sevastova.
"She played unbelievable throughout the first and second set and I just kept fighting, running every ball, and just stayed there."
Sharapova ended the match with 51 errors to 42 winners as she pressed too hard in trying to break down Sevastova's brilliant defence.
The Latvian went close to taking the first set after coming back from 4-1 down, but Sharapova clinched it with two magnificent forehands in game 12.
The momentum had already begun to swing though, and Sevastova would level thanks to a single break at 2-1 in the second - in one rally lobbing Sharapova twice, prompting the Russian to scramble left-handed in desperation.
A six-minute bathroom break ahead of the decider apparently did not have the desired effect as Sharapova quickly fell 3-0 down.
She had said after her opening match that "this girl has a lot of grit", and it was in evidence as she cut the deficit to 3-2, but in the end Sevastova had too much.
Sharapova fought off three match points before a big first serve left the five-time major winner flailing at a return that flew wide after two hours and 17 minutes.
BBC Sport tennis correspondent Russell Fuller
Sevastova carved out a hard-earned victory with some mighty defence, and clever use of the drop shot and slice to drag Sharapova into the net.
The Russian was outstanding in patches, but lost her way completely in the deciding set. Her forehand simply disintegrated, as she hit 18 unforced errors and just four winners.
Sharapova is projected to return to the world's top 100 as a result of her run to the fourth round. She won three more matches than many thought she would after a summer disrupted by injuries, before a lack of match practice appeared to catch up with her.
And even though the US Open may not appreciate this just now, it is encouraging for the WTA Tour that a current top 20 player is able to close out victory over an opponent who may have won five Grand Slams, but has featured in only five events in the past 19 months. | Maria Sharapova's first Grand Slam tournament in 19 months ended with defeat by Anastasija Sevastova in the US Open fourth round. | 41,143,480 | 690 | 34 | false |

The UN body set up to promote the rights and wellbeing of children highlights "concerning gaps in health, education, and income".
The lack of progress means ambitions to eradicate child poverty are unlikely to be realised in coming years, it adds.
The government said there were 300,000 fewer children in poverty since 2010.
The gap between rich and poor had narrowed in the UK in recent years, largely because the income of the poorest families had fallen more slowly than that of the average household, Unicef said in its Report Card 13 report.
But Unicef added that were it not for benefits, the income gap in Britain would be among the greatest in Europe.
One area of concern was the difference in the UK between wealthier and poorer children's performance in reading, maths and science.
Overall, British pupils were ranked 25th out of 37 countries, behind their counterparts in Slovenia, Poland and Romania.
Another key area of concern was the disparity in healthy behaviours, predominantly consumption of fruit and vegetables, among children of different social backgrounds.
The UK was ranked bottom for the contrast in healthy eating between well-off and poorer children. It also did badly on measures of physical activity,
Unicef UK's deputy executive director, Lily Caprani, said: "Britain can and must do better. Inequality between children is damaging their lives and aspirations.
"Taking children's rights seriously means acting with urgency to make sure no child is left behind.
"The UK government should adopt, as a matter of urgency, a childhood obesity strategy that promotes and supports healthy lifestyles for low-income children.
"It must also act to further reduce income inequality, which includes protecting social transfers [benefits]."
A spokesman for the Department of Work and Pensions said it was working to eliminate child poverty and improving life chances for children.
"We know there's more we can do, and that's why we've introduced the National Living Wage, which is increasing the incomes of the lowest paid," he said.
"All infant pupils can now get free school meals - meaning 1.3 million more children get a nutritious free meal at lunchtime, saving families hundreds of pounds. And we continue to spend £80bn a year to provide a safety net for those who need extra support."
Matthew Reed, chief executive of the Children's Society, said: "It's time we renewed the fight against child poverty in Britain, and the government could make a good start by abandoning its planned four-year benefits freeze, which will make life harder for millions of children.
"It should also stop trying to reduce the support available through tax credits, which as Unicef's report makes clear, have been essential in preventing the gap between rich and poor children in the UK from getting even wider." | The UK is lagging behind other rich countries on reducing inequalities between rich and poor children, a Unicef report says. | 36,035,304 | 610 | 32 | false |
Police used stun grenades and rubber bullets to disperse a Sunday protest organised by the group Hefazat-e Islam in the capital Dhaka.
But there were later running battles throughout Sunday and into Monday in areas across the city.
Tens of thousands of Islamists had gathered in the city to call for stronger Islamic policies.
Rioters went on to set fire to shops and vehicles.
The dead in Dhaka included at least two policemen, according to officials.
At least five people were reported killed in clashes in the south-eastern city of Chittagong and two in the coastal district of Bagerhat.
Central Dhaka was reported to be calm following a day and night of violence.
Police said a ban had been imposed on all rallies and protests in the city until midnight on Monday to prevent a repeat of the clashes.

Thousands of Islamist activists were seen fleeing the Motijheel area of Dhaka on Sunday as police moved in to take control of the area.
Having secured the business district by the early hours of Monday, the police said officers were searching for protesters hiding in nearby buildings.
The area around the city centre's largest mosque had turned into a battleground as police reacted to stone-throwing rioters with tear gas, stun grenades, rubber bullets and truncheons.
Clashes also broke out in Kanchpur on the south-eastern outskirts of Dhaka.
There were varying reports of the number of dead and injured, but police have confirmed that two officers and a member of the security forces were among the dead in Kanchpur.
One witness who watched events unfold from a rooftop in central Dhaka said the demonstrators "were very aggressive, some people were throwing stones and the situation quickly become violent... the police had no option but to respond".
"Rioters vandalised markets and set fire to bookshops where the Holy Koran is sold. Thousands of Koran and religious books burned. They also attacked the ruling party's political office and national mosque," he told the BBC.
The bank employee, who asked not to named, said many people in Dhaka were angry about the violence, particularly as the city is still mourning the recent loss of more than 600 workers in a building collapse.
"I am Muslim and 90% of the population is Muslim too, but the protesters do not represent our views," he said.
On Sunday, crowds of protesters blocked main roads, isolating Dhaka from other parts of the country.
Dhaka's Daily Star newspaper reported that the group had hired at least 3,000 vehicles, including buses, lorries and minibuses, to bring demonstrators into the capital, while others travelled there by train.
Chanting "Allahu Akbar!" ("God is greatest!") and "One point! One demand! Atheists must be hanged", the activists marched down at least six main roads as they headed for Motijheel, AFP news agency reported.
Hefazat-e Islam - a coalition of around a dozen Islamist organisations - is seeking to impose a stricter form of Islam on Bangladeshi society.
The movement, which draws its strength from the country's madrassas, or religious schools, has issued a 13-point charter of demands, including greater segregation of men and women.
Its opposition to a national development policy for women has angered women's groups.
The government, which describes Bangladesh as a secular democracy, has rejected Hefazat-e Islam's demand for a new law on blasphemy.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said current legislation was adequate.

Cyclist Owain Doull and sailor Hannah Mills who both won gold at the Rio 2016 Olympics attended the Senedd event.
Champion shot putter Aled Sion Davies and javelin gold medallist Hollie Arnold, who won two of seven Welsh Paralympic medals, were also there.
Carwyn Jones paid tribute to the athletes' determination to win.
Davies told the crowd it was great to be back in Wales and see the appreciation of the fans.
"It's lovely. When I was out in Brazil you are in like a bubble, so you don't see all of this. So to get back here and to be part of such a successful summer for Wales, it's great," he said.
Arnold, who moved to Ystrad Mynach, Caerphilly county, from Grimbsy so she could train in Wales, thanked the people of Wales for their support.
"Thank you for welcoming me. This [motioning to her medal] is pretty much for everyone who's helped me, so thank you," she said.
Team GB Chef de Mission Mark England said: "It was absolutely wonderful - the athletes were superb and Wales contributed so wonderfully to the medal."
First Minister Carwyn Jones led a round of applause for the athletes and thanked them for inspiring a new generation.
He said: "You look at the people behind me and what you see is the dedication, determination, strength and of course more than anything else, a will to win.
"You have done us proud, there are so many people around Wales this evening, youngsters particularly, who will have seen what you've done and they will say 'hey, if they can do it, I can do it'.
"And we know that means in future we won't be short of champions as well."
The Australian opener hit 37 boundaries and shared an unbroken fourth-wicket stand of 145 with Neil Dexter (72).
In their victory over Yorkshire, Middlesex beat their previous highest fourth innings chase at Lord's of 366-5 against Sussex in 1926.
It was the highest winning fourth-innings score made by Middlesex at Lord's, but short of their club record 502-6 at Notts at Trent Bridge in 1925.
It was only the third time Yorkshire have conceded over 400 to lose a game.
In 2009, they were beaten by four wickets at Taunton when Somerset made 479-6, three years after Hampshire scored 404-5 to in by five wickets at Headingley.
Rogers also made some individual history with the 11th fourth innings double-century in the Championship, as he matched the 241 not out made by fellow Australian Justin Langer against Kent in 1999.
It was the 67th first-class score of over 100 in the left-hander's career, lifting his average to exactly 50.
The 36-year-old survived a big lbw appeal from Ryan Sidebottom early on the fourth morning after the home side resumed on 230-1 and later nicked Jack Brooks through the slips, but otherwise was in full control as Yorkshire's attack toiled in vain to dislodge him.
It was a tough first taste of Championship captaincy for England's Joe Root, in charge because county captain Andrew Gale had dropped himself.
Sidebottom did succeed in having Dawid Malan (35) lbw and Kane Williamson's off-spin accounted for Eoin Morgan (27), but Dexter finished the match in style, striking Williamson for two fours and a six in the space of four deliveries.
Middlesex skipper Chris Rogers told BBC London 94.9:

"It's been a great day. Hopefully, the club can go from strength to strength from that. In a fourth innings, to play like that and win, doesn't happen every day.
"To get over the line is something to be very proud of. But the other guys deserve a lot of credit too. They came out and played very well and took the pressure off me.
"It was almost a perfect run chase. We've been criticised for our batting, so that can be an excellent step for us."
Yorkshire coach Jason Gillespie:
"It was a fantastic knock. Sometimes you have to take your hat off to the opposition.
"We gave it our best, but it just didn't quite work in the second innings with the ball.
"You can't rest on your laurels, you need to make sure your skills are right each and every over."
BBC London 94.9's Kevin Hand:
"Middlesex completed their highest run chase at Lord's, the third highest on the ground and the third highest in their history.
"Chris Rogers, unbeaten on 241, was just four runs short of equalling the highest individual score in a successful fourth innings chase.
"The innings victory must be regarded as very close to the greatest in the county's 150-year history."

The 33-year-old, who was most recently at Newcastle, quit rugby in May but has joined Andy Robinson's side to cover Marc Jones who has a knee injury.
Jones could be out for up to three months after sustaining the knock in a pre-season match.
Hawkins, a Premiership winner with Leicester in 2013, became a special constable with the police in November.
Finance, HR and IT directors were among nine senior staff given vehicles.
One tax expert said the recipients could save thousands of pounds each year as emergency vehicles are treated differently by HM Revenue and Customs.
The forces said the vehicles were part of their wider fleet, and denied they were provided for tax reasons.
BBC News sent Freedom of Information requests to all 45 UK forces, asking them if they had provided civilian staff with cars fitted with emergency response equipment, and received responses from all.
The seven forces which said they had were Devon and Cornwall, Merseyside, Humberside, South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire, Avon and Somerset, and Greater Manchester Police.
The main recipients were finance directors, although human resources and IT directors have also benefitted.
In addition, West Mercia and Warwickshire Police said they used to jointly pay for a car for a "director of enabling services", but no longer did so.
None of the vehicles had been used in an emergency, and the drivers of the vehicles were not qualified to use them in such circumstances.
South Yorkshire and Humberside Police were the only forces to say they provided two senior civilian staff with vehicles.
In a statement to the BBC, South Yorkshire's Police and Crime Commissioner Alan Billings said the scheme pre-dated the appointment of police and crime commissioners.
"Even so, I am disappointed that I was not made aware of it. I have asked the chief constable to review the policy and I understand that the equipment has now been disconnected, pending removal from the vehicles."
The BBC sent Freedom of Information requests to all 45 police forces in the UK. All responded. Seven forces said they had provided cars for the following civilian personnel:
Devon and Cornwall - Head of roads policing unit
Greater Manchester Police - Assistant chief officer
Humberside (two cars) - Assistant chief officer of HR; Assistant chief officer support
Merseyside - Director of finance
West Yorkshire - Director of finance and business
Avon and Somerset - Chief financial officer
South Yorkshire (two cars) - Director of finance; Director of IT
In addition, West Mercia and Warwickshire forces said they previously provided a joint vehicle to a director of enabling Services.
Humberside Police said one of the vehicles was made available for driver training on a regular basis, while the other supplemented the force's fleet and could be used for special events or royal visits.
The forces all denied the arrangements were part of efforts to reduce their tax bills.
But a report earlier this year from the College of Policing found many police officers felt "a culture of entitlement" existed at senior levels within forces.
A focus group spoke of "staff at chief officer rank being provided with executive cars fitted with emergency equipment", such as blue lights and sirens.
This was despite the fact they would not have been trained or authorised to use the vehicle, and was "apparently motivated by the advantageous tax treatment available for emergency vehicles," officers in the focus group said.
Laura Hutchinson, a director at tax specialists Forbes Dawson, said any potential tax saving would depend on the cost of the vehicle and its CO2 emissions.
For example, a BMW 5 series saloon costing £30,000 would incur a taxable benefit charge of more than £2,200 for someone paying the 40% tax rate.
However, this fee would not apply if HMRC was satisfied that the vehicle was used for emergency purposes.
"It is clear that the vehicle does not have to be a marked car, which may make this an attractive route to providing tax-free benefits where the rules were not intended to apply," said Ms Hutchinson.
Earlier this week, officers in the West Midlands complained that their siren-less vehicles were hampering efforts to catch criminals.
In 2011, a BMW fitted with emergency response equipment - covert blue lights and a two-tone siren - was stolen from outside the home of the force's former finance director.

Defender Bruno Ecuele Manga is expected back this week from the Africa Cup of Nations after Gabon were eliminated.
Victory would take Brighton to the top of the Championship table.
The match has been rearranged after the scheduled meeting on 30 December was postponed because of fog.
Brighton boss Chris Hughton told BBC Sussex:
"In my time here we haven't had a comfortable game against Cardiff.
"You know what to expect with a Neil Warnock side - a team fighting to get a result. They will be in confident form.
"But we would like to capitalise on the fact we are at home, on the back of a really good home victory on Friday."
The ruling followed the court's rejection last week of Mr Andre's claims of death threats from Neville Hendricks, producer of his TV show.
ITV cut ties with Mr Hendricks for breach of contract as a result.
But, calling Mr Andre an "extremely unsatisfactory witness", the court said ITV2 would have to pay "substantial" damages to Mr Hendricks' company.
Mr Hendricks was seeking damages for lost profits of up to £7m.
His company, Mr H TV, produced Mr Andre's The Next Chapter series and Here To Help, along with Kerry Katona's reality projects, working closely with the singers' manager Claire Powell, head of CAN Associates.
Ms Powell and Mr Hendricks' had what was described as an on-off relationship, sharing a son together, before an acrimonious split in 2011.
Ms Powell's relationship with Kerry Katona also broke down, amid false rumours she was having an affair with Mr Hendricks. He believed the rumours were being spread by Ms Powell.
Around the same time, Mr Hendricks set up a Twitter account from which he tweeted or engaged in conversations giving intimate details of Mr Andre and Ms Powell's private lives "in the most scurrilous and vitriolic terms," said the judge.
Mr Andre's solicitors wrote to Mr H TV, saying he "wanted no further dealings" with the company.
The judge said the letter was "almost certainly" responsible for ITV2 terminating its agreement with the production company.
ITV2 also wanted to terminate its contract over a proposal that Kerry Katona would appear on Celebrity Big Brother on Channel 5, claiming it breached an exclusivity clause.
Mr Justice Flaux called Mr Hendricks "an honest witness" and a respected producer of a "particular genre of television, which in a very real sense, he had devised".
He also dismissed Mr Andre's accusations that the tweets constituted a real threat, although they were "offensive and expressed in foul language".
The 12-year-old pupil at Wolfreton School in Willerby fell into a lake near Meymac in the Massif Central region on 21 July.
She died in hospital the next day.
In a police statement, the family said details of her funeral would not be made public as they "try to come to terms with their loss".
"The family wish to thank friends and the wider public for the support they have received during this difficult time, but request that their wishes for the details of Jessica's funeral arrangements not to be made public are respected.
"The family wish to grieve privately as they try to come to terms with their loss. They therefore respectfully ask that those who have not been formally invited to the funeral do not attend."
Jessica was one of 24 students and three staff on a five-day trip to the Club Correze adventure centre in France.
It is believed she became trapped under an overturned pontoon, which she and a group of children were jumping from while swimming.
Blackstone is selling Strategic Hotels & Resorts, which owns 16 properties including the Four Seasons resorts in Arizona and Wyoming, just three months after buying the company themselves.
The deal marks the biggest US property purchase by a mainland Chinese buyer.
Anbang is also part of a group seeking to gatecrash a separate hotel deal.
US hotelier Marriott International said a consortium led by Anbang had made an "unsolicited" offer for Starwood Hotels.
Marriott and Starwood agreed to merge in November in a deal that would create the world's largest hotel chain.
However, the Anbang-led consortium has offered $76 a share in a proposal worth about $14bn to outbid Marriott for the company.
Marriott said it was "still committed to the deal" ahead of shareholder votes on 28 March.
Chinese firms have been buying overseas assets despite the slowing economy.
Mainland investors have been snapping up prime US properties and other overseas assets to diversify their holdings amid concerns about weakness in China's economy.
Anbang bought New York's famous Waldorf-Astoria from Blackstone for a record $1.95bn last year.
The Beijing-based company also owns office buildings in New York and Canada and a South Korean insurance company.
It tried to buy Portuguese bank Novo Banco last year, but that fell through because of political objections over the sale of a systemically important European lender.
Last year, Chinese outbound acquisitions hit a record $108bn, according to data provider Dealogic.
However, that amount is on track to be overtaken, given that more than $84bn in deals have already been made so far this year, including the $43bn purchase of Swiss agri-firm Syngenta by ChemChina.
In a report, Conservative PCC Adam Simmonds outlined the proposals, which include employing a chief of staff and four assistant commissioners.
Under the old police authority, there were seven staff members - but the new commission would have 10 extra posts.
The report says the PCC wants to "stand up" for local community interests.
Three new departments, for drugs eradication, faith-based and neighbourhood initiatives, and the protection and security of the county, would also be created.
The commission carries out the work that the previous police authority did of overseeing targets and setting budgets.
But the office also has new responsibilities of prevention and taking care of victims of crime.
For 2012-13, the budget for Northamptonshire Police is £120.55m - £2m less than 2011-12.
Savings of £20m have to be made over four years.
Mr Simmonds was unavailable for comment about the plans on Thursday.
Paul Varnsverry, who stood for the Liberal Democrats in the elections, said: "I will watch with interest to see how the ideas are refined."
Jim MacArthur, who represented UKIP, said: "My initial thoughts are that it sounds complicated."
John Norrie, an Independent candidate in the PCC election, said: "I would be a bit more careful with taxpayers' money. I thought this job was for one person with a few staff."
The Labour Party regional office was not available for comment.
A spokesman for the commissioner said staff would be consulted about the plans in the first four months of next year.
The local authority's refusal of permission for a development at Gorsedd Bran, Nantglyn, was quashed by Mr Justice Wyn Williams and sent back for reconsideration.
Permission was refused for several reasons, including noise levels.
However, the High Court ruled the decision-making process was flawed.
Permission was refused in November 2008.
The applicants, Tegni Cymru Cyf, appealed that decision, but it was again refused.
Mr Justice Wyn Williams said the inspector who investigated the noise impact of the site during the appeal did not give sufficient reasons for concluding sound levels generated would be unacceptable.
Delivering his ruling, the judge said: "Tegni Cymru Cyf seek an order quashing a decision dated 18 November 2009 made by an inspector duly appointed by Denbighshire County Council whereby he dismissed the claimant's appeal against the council's refusal to grant planning permission for what is known, in summary, as a wind farm."
He added: "The primary ground of challenge is that the inspector reached conclusions about the visual impact of the wind farm and the noise associated with its operation which no reasonable Inspector would have reached.
"Additionally, however, the claimant alleges that the inspector's decision should be quashed because he failed to give sufficient reasons for his conclusions upon important issues."
The judge concluded "the inspector erred in law in at least one important respect".
He added: "In my judgment, he failed to provide adequate reasons for his conclusion that the noise impact of the proposed development was unacceptable; his reasoning gives rise to a substantial doubt, at the very least, as to whether he erred in law when reaching his conclusion upon the issue of noise impact."
Tegni Cymru Cyf want to erect 13 turbines, which it claims would power 23,896 homes.
In a statment, Denbighshire County Council said it "will be seeking its own advice on the judgement and will be waiting to see what action, if any, Welsh Assembly Government ministers will be taking following the judgement in this case".
They sealed a top-six finish with Sunday's 35-14 victory over Stade Francais, securing a quarter-final next weekend, when Scotland fly to Japan.
Even if Castres beat Montpellier to make the last four, Gray will join the national team after the game "no matter what", according to an SRU spokesman.
The Scots have five days on arrival to prepare for the first Test on 18 June.
They arrive in Tokyo on Sunday, before travelling on Wednesday to Nagoya, adjacent to Tokyo City, the venue for the first Test.
Castres do not play Montpellier until Sunday, 12 June at 1615 French time, and the SRU expect Gray to travel to Japan "on the next flight available". But he is not likely to arrive in Japan until late Monday or Tuesday.
The rest of the squad are gathering at Murrayfield on Monday, 6 June, for a pre-tour training camp until Thursday.
Head coach Vern Cotter will be keeping his fingers crossed that nothing befalls Gray in what will be his last game for Castres before a move to Toulouse next season.
The 26-year-old is one of only three locks, alongside younger brother Jonny and Tim Swinson, named in the 27-man squad.
The original party has already been shorn of centre Alex Dunbar, wing Tim Visser and fly-half Finn Russell, with Matt Scott, Sean Lamont and uncapped South Africa-based centre Huw Jones replacing them.
The second Test takes place in Tokyo on 25 June, with both matches broadcast live on BBC Scotland television, radio, and online.
Bob Corker, the Republican Senator who has led the charge for Congressional oversight, has written to the president, warning against the erosion of red lines.
Five of Barack Obama's top former Iran advisors have signed an open letter expressing concern that the deal might lack sufficient safeguards to deter Iran from building a nuclear bomb.
And the administration has intensified briefings with lawmakers amid a series of media leaks suggesting concessions in the negotiations.
These interventions add to the challenge of the end game, and raise questions about the sustainability and credibility of whatever it might produce.
Much of the ongoing opposition on Capitol Hill is about support for Israel, whose Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in effect appealed to Congress to block a deal.
And much of it is about partisan Republican politics targeting the foreign policy of a Democratic president.
But Democrats also share some Republican concerns about the negotiations and whether a viable deal is possible with an old enemy still deeply distrusted.
Several felt strongly that Congress had an institutional responsibility to weigh in on such an important agreement.
The president felt very differently, but he backed down in the face of rare bipartisan support for legislation giving Congress that right of review.
Lawmakers now have 30 days to examine any deal during which time Mr Obama could not suspend US sanctions. And they have the option of rejecting it, although he would veto that.
Common wisdom in Washington says Congress would not be able muster enough votes to block the agreement by overriding a veto.
That calculation is based partly on a letter expressing strong support for the talks signed by 150 House Democrats two months ago.
But in the run-up to the deadline, mounting concern about possible US concessions has created a climate of uncertainty.
There is unease about the formula which sharply curbs Iran's nuclear activity but leaves the infrastructure intact.
The restrictions end after 10 years although the verification regime does not.
"We're now managing their proliferation," rather than dismantling their enrichment programme, Senator Corker told the BBC, reflecting a view that President Obama has crossed some red lines since he embraced diplomacy with Iran.
Tough inspections "anytime, anywhere" are a red line for Congress, he said, including of military sites, which the Iranian leadership has publicly refused.
He also stressed that Iran must reveal the past military dimensions of its nuclear programme to help guard against such activity in the future.
He was responding to recent suggestions by the Secretary of State John Kerry that Tehran would not be pressed on this point.
Senator Corker said his intervention aimed to "stiffen the spine" of negotiations, not scuttle them.
The statement released by a bipartisan group of arms experts and former senior officials also urged the White House to negotiate a stronger deal.
"This is not roll back of sanctions for roll back of nuclear infrastructure, it's roll back for transparency," said Dennis Ross, one of President Obama's former Iran advisors who signed the open letter.
"If the transparency element of the understandings turns out to be less far reaching, if it looks like roll back for partial transparency, then it becomes more questionable whether Congress could block it. But I think the administration understands that as well as anybody."
Administration officials have pushed back against media reports that they are softening their position. They insist negotiators are holding the line, and conduct briefings on the Hill several times a week to spell out the details.
"They need to regain control of the message," said one observer.
Whatever the concerns and criticisms, lawmakers are aware that polls show public support for a proposed deal with Iran.
And many fear the risks of walking away from the table - which would free Iran to return to large-scale nuclear activity - especially if the US were seen as responsible for sinking an agreement.
"If the United States were to abandon negotiations or cause their collapse, not only would we fail to peacefully prevent a nuclear armed Iran, we would make that outcome more likely," the House Democrats wrote in their letter
But even if President Obama prevents Congress from blocking a final agreement, attempts to do so could still cause Iran and the rest of the world to question America's commitment.
And if he wins because of support from a very small margin of lawmakers, the opposition could continue trying to defeat the deal.
It may have many opportunities if the Iranians are not seen to be meeting their commitments.
Either way, as the presidential election campaign gathers pace the issue is likely to become more partisan, not less.
So if President Obama is able to seal a hard-won deal in Vienna, he may have to work just as hard to sustain it at home.
The report highlights what it says is a "delay in solid reassurances" on Brexit and "mixed messages" from ministers.
The report welcomes the increase to science funding announced in the 2016 Autumn Statement.
But it says bold steps are needed to ensure the UK continues to attract the best scientific talent.
Pro-Brexit campaigners reject the suggestions of negative consequences shared by other scientists and believe the UK will retain its ability to influence EU science policy on leaving.
"At this early stage, there is little documented evidence of scientists from other EU member states deciding not to come to the UK because of the EU referendum," the report from the Lords Science and Technology Committee says.
But it adds that ministers and the wider community should be on the look-out for "any early indications of change in the attractiveness of the UK to talented scientists".
The report also highlights the importance of freedom of movement.
It recommends the government distinguishes in statistics between students and other immigrants and treats student numbers separately for immigration policy making purposes.
The committee also recommends that the government assesses the need for a scientific adviser role in the Department for International Trade.
Lord Selborne, the committee's chairman, said: "We welcome the major increase in science funding announced in the 2016 Autumn Statement and the government's separate assurance that it will underwrite funding for approved Horizon 2020 projects applied for before Brexit.
"The UK's outstanding reputation and performance in the scientific world depends critically on redoubling efforts to persuade many of the world's most talented scientists to pursue careers in this country."
He added: "It is vital the UK is still seen as open to scientific talent; the government has the ability to send this message to the scientific community enabling us to become world leaders after Brexit and beyond."
Universities and Science Minister Jo Johnson said he would carefully consider the recommendations. He commented: "The excellence of our research and the attractiveness of the UK as a lead destination for science and innovation are fundamental to the future success of this country. That is why our upcoming Industrial Strategy will place science and innovation at its core.
"As we prepare to leave the EU, we are determined to secure the best possible outcome for our research base. We've made a substantial investment in the sector - pledging an extra £2 billion a year by 2020/21, the biggest increase in decades. In addition, HMT will guarantee competitively awarded EU research funding, bid for while we remain a member of the EU."
The report is a follow-up on the findings of an inquiry published earlier this year.
Alastair Majury and Robert Davies were both elected as Stirling councillors in May.
But it later emerged that Mr Majury was behind a Twitter account which likened Scottish nationalists to the Nazis.
He was suspended from the party alongside Mr Davies, who had tweeted racist jokes.
Mr Majury used his Mulder1981 account on Twitter to make derogatory remarks about Catholics, attack benefit claimants and say the SNP was too busy talking about gay marriage.
He also boasted about the size of his manhood on an online dating site.
The pair were suspended by the Scottish Conservatives on 17 May, but a spokesman for the party confirmed they had both now been readmitted.
The spokesman said: "Having served a suspension, both councillors have been readmitted to the party after offering unreserved apologies for any offence caused.
"It has been made abundantly clear that behaviour like this will not be tolerated in future."
SNP MSP James Dornan accused Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson of hypocrisy over the decision to allow the two councillors to remain in the party.
Mr Dornan said: "She is keen to call out racism, sexism and other unacceptable behaviour, except when her own colleagues are the guilty ones.
"But this issue goes beyond mere hypocrisy, and exposes the ugly reality of Davidson's Tories - a party which offers a home to extremist views, turns a blind eye to prejudice and allows those who spout offensive nonsense to hold elected office."
Scottish Labour MSP Monica Lennon said it was shocking that the suspension had been lifted because the two Tories had made "racist and sectarian remarks that have absolutely no place in our society".
Green MSP Mark Ruskell, who was previously a Stirling councillor, said: "Imagine a racist and an internet troll now deciding on Stirling Council school bullying and equalities strategies."
The Lib Dems also criticised the move, which the party said had shown the "true heartlessness of the Scottish Conservatives".
The Three Ships mural is on a vacant former shop. Historic England turned down Grade II listing in November.
It said it "falls short of the high bar for listing post-war public art". Campaigners have asked for a rethink.
Leigh Bird, from Hull Heritage Action Group, said: "It's not a shop front, it's a work of art and it's tied into the city's fishing heritage."

"The trawlers are very stylised but their masts spell the word Hull," she added.
The mosaic, by artist Alan Boyson, comprises almost a million pieces of Italian glass on a 66ft by 64ft (20m x 19.5m) concrete screen. Another mural by Boyson exists inside the former BHS building.
The work was commissioned by the Co-Op in 1963, but the building has been vacant since August. Hull City council has locally listed the mural and believes it "to be the biggest in the UK" but the surrounding area has been earmarked for future development.
It was placed on the Twentieth Century Society's Buildings at Risk list in January.
Hull Civic Society, which campaigns for "high standards of architecture", has appealed against Historic England's decision and chairman John Scotney said to lose the mural "would be massive vandalism".
Mr Scotney, added: "The fact the colours are muted is in its favour, it is large but subtle without dominating everything it makes a positive contribution."
The Hull Heritage Action Group, another local conservation group, has a petition signed by more than 2,500 people and campaigns for listing both mosaics.
Leigh Bird said: "The campaign is building, and City of Culture has helped because it has brought more awareness."
An Historic England spokesman said listing was "purely to do with the artistic merits of the artwork".
The result of the appeal has not been announced but Historic England said it hoped the mural would "remain a part of Hull's streetscape".
The S&P 500 fell to its biggest decline in three weeks after upbeat economic data fuelled expectations that a rate rise could come sooner.
Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 index was trading flat at 20,446.07.
The dollar was at 123.02 yen, rallying on the solid US economic data.
Minutes from the Bank of Japan's policy meeting on Wednesday also showed that some members said that consumer prices in the world's third largest economy would not meet the central's bank target in the 2017 fiscal year.
Chinese shares were trading mixed with Hong Kong's Hang Seng index down 0.5% to 28,109.17, while the Shanghai Composite was higher 0.9% to 4,955.51- bucking the region's trend.
Shares in China's top shoemaker Belle International rose more than 3% in Hong Kong, after it said its annual profit rose 8%.
In Australia, the S&P/ASX 200 was down 0.8% to 5,725.5 points.
Meanwhile, South Korea's Kospi was lower by 1.5% to 2,110.46 - leading the region's losses.
In the latest incursion, 100 migrants broke through a fence and entered the Eurotunnel terminal, with some making it into the tunnel itself.
In the same week, a man died near the tunnel entrance in Calais - the 13th migrant to die trying to reach the UK since late June.
But many migrants are undeterred, although the numbers trying to get across the Channel have fallen - in July, some 2,000 migrants a night were trying to get into the terminal, compared to 150 in August.
The migrants, who are living in camps known as "the Jungle" on the edge of Calais, attempt to stow away on lorries headed for Eurotunnel, or jump or cut security fences to try to hide on Eurotunnel trains themselves. They also try to board lorries bound for cross-Channel ferries.
Extra security, including fencing, paid for by the UK, has been put in place.
In August, the UK and France signed an agreement on new measures to help alleviate the crisis, including a new command centre to help tackle the trafficking gangs.
While the scenes of thousands of migrants storming the tunnel over the summer were unprecedented, the issue is far from new. In 1999, the controversial Sangatte refugee camp was opened in Calais, attracting thousands of would-be asylum seekers and people traffickers.
Its closure in 2001 and 2002 - on the orders of France's then minister of the interior, Nicolas Sarkozy - led to riots. Since then migrants have continued to arrive in Calais and build makeshift camps near the port. French authorities estimate there are about 3,000 people currently living in "the Jungle", although other estimates put the number higher.
The issue made headlines again in September last year after a ferry bound for the UK was stormed by about 235 illegal migrants.
The Home Office said the UK Border Force and the French authorities together prevented more than 39,000 attempts to cross the Channel illegally in 2014/15 - more than double the number prevented the previous year, while Eurotunnel, which operates the Channel Tunnel says it has blocked 37,000 attempts since January.
French and UK authorities, and cross-Channel operators, continue to bring in measures to improve security, but migrants are still breaching barriers.
The Calais Chambers of Commerce has responsibility for the security of the port. Last autumn the UK government pledged £12m over three years to help France tackle the problem.
Earlier this month, the UK announced a further £2m for a new secure zone at Calais for UK-bound lorries. It later confirmed it would provide further £7m for measures to improve security at Calais and the entrance to the Channel Tunnel. The UK is also building a fence, known as the "National Barrier Asset", around the terminal at Coquelles.
The port is now protected by 16ft (5m) fences topped with coils of razor wire and CCTV, with the gates and exterior guarded by heavily-armed French riot police.
Eurotunnel has spent £9.2m on security in the first six months of 2015 alone, including money for fences, cameras, infra-red detectors and extra guards.
French police have been widely criticised for taking migrants off lorries, driving them a few miles away then releasing them - free to walk back to Calais. But many undocumented migrants are arrested - reportedly more than 18,000 in the first half of 2015.
The problem, police say, is that there are simply too many to arrest and deal with. They also say their focus on the motorway is safety, so getting people off the road is the priority. Extra French police have been deployed to Calais to try to cope with the volume of migrants.
French authorities are also struggling to stop illegal migrants crossing its border from Italy, where more than 60,000 people are thought to have arrived by boat from Africa already this year.
The situation in Calais is part of a wider migration crisis in Europe - caused largely by the displacement of people from war-torn countries such as Syria, Afghanistan, and Eritrea, and also North Africa.
Many want to claim asylum in the UK. Others want to enter the country incognito to remain as illegal workers.
Natacha Bouchart, Mayor of Calais, has said illegal migrants perceive Britain as a "soft touch" for benefits, and a better place to find jobs in the black economy than France - although studies do not necessarily back up this view.
The British Red Cross said most migrants wanted to make the move because they believed there was a better prospect of finding work in the UK, or because they speak English and want to use the language. Others have relatives in the UK, or are drawn by a belief that there is better housing and education available.
The UK is certainly not alone as a target destination. According to the EU's statistics body Eurostat, Germany saw the most non-EU asylum seekers in 2014 - almost 203,000 - followed by Sweden, Italy, France, Hungary, and then the UK.
But the huge influx of migrants into Europe has seen asylum applications soar. Germany - the most popular destination - says it is expecting 800,000 refugees to arrive this year.
The UN High Commissioner for Refugees' representative in France, Philippe Leclerc, said most of the migrants in Calais were fleeing violence in countries such as Syria, Eritrea, Somalia and Afghanistan.
According to data from the UN Refugee Agency, Eritrea topped the list of countries of origin for people seeking and making asylum applications in the UK during the 12 months to the end of March 2015.
The UK and France both have a range of aid programmes in place in an attempt to address the root causes of the migrant crisis.
The short answer is, no-one knows. Home Secretary Theresa May has conceded that "a number" of migrants do make it across, but has not given specific figures. The Home Office says it has neither official figures or estimates for the number of illegal migrant crossings.
There were 25,020 applications for asylum in the year ending March 2015, but the figures are not broken down by point of entry, so there is no way of knowing how many of those people travelled through Dover. A Home Office spokesman said this was for security reasons.
Both Kent Police and Kent County Council also say they do not hold official figures - although the leader of Kent County Council has said its children's social services department is under "enormous strain" because of the number of unaccompanied asylum-seeking children entering the Port of Dover. The county is currently caring for more than 600 under-18s, council leader Paul Carter said.
Operation Stack is an emergency procedure used by Kent Police to park freight vehicles on the M20 in Kent - essentially turning it into a giant lorry park.
It has been used since 1996 whenever there is disruption to cross-Channel services, generally as a result of migrant activity, bad weather, or industrial action. The road is closed in three phases, depending on how much space is needed. It can remain closed for days at a time, with thousands of Calais-bound lorries sitting dormant, leading to severe delays in areas of Kent.
Between 1996 and the end of 2007, Operation Stack was implemented 95 times for a total of 145 days. It has been used intermittently since 2007 but rarely for more than a few hours or a day or two at a time. However, June and July of this year saw "unprecedented" use of the tactic, according to the Freight Transport Association (FTA).
In August, the government announced the temporary use of Manston Airfield in east Kent to hold freight lorries bound for Dover.
Peter Sheridan, now chief executive at Cooperation Ireland said the peace process is in a "fragile state".
He said the numerous agreements that make up Northern Ireland's peace process show the brittle nature of its politics.
"Less than a year ago, both governments had to step in to rescue the executive," said Mr Sheridan.
Although stressing that he did not predict the violence "in the way it was [during the Troubles]", he added: "We've already seen peaceful protests along the border, even though nothing has happened on the border yet.
"The history of this place is that mass protest can lead to confrontation and unrest.
"We've had three shootings in the last few days, so we shouldn't be surprised that there would be people who would seek to exploit a change in the border."
The former assistant chief constable denied that he was scaremongering: "I would challenge anyone who says there won't be people who will seek to exploit the border," he told the BBC's Good Morning Ulster programme.
"We just need to be alert to the possibility that any change to the border, which is largely invisible at the minute, can be seen to threaten people's identity in ways we cannot see."
Mr Sheridan said he believed Northern Ireland Secretary James Brokenshire and Prime Minister Teresa May were genuine when they expressed their commitment to an open border, but pointed out that 26 other countries will have a say on the matter.
According to witnesses, police in the Sindh town of Gambat forced the man and woman to walk to the police station naked as punishment for trying to have sex outside marriage.
Mobile phone footage shows a naked man being beaten by police and a woman begging them to let her cover herself.
After a public outcry, officials suspended the officers involved.
The BBC's Shahzeb Jillani says incidents of public dishonouring are not uncommon in Pakistan, but this incident is particularly shocking because it was carried out by police and filmed on mobile phones.
Last year, several men were arrested for stripping a middle aged woman naked and parading her round the village as punishment for her son allegedly having an affair with a woman in their family.
Shahnaz Bibi told the BBC at the time that her life had been ruined by the ordeal, and she could never go home.
The footage of this latest incident shows the man, Mumtaz Mirbahar, being pushed around and abused by police officers on his property.
He is then forced to walk naked to the police station, alongside his alleged partner, as a large crowd looks on.
Mr Mirbahar said he has been "deeply scarred" by the incident. He has been released on bail, but the woman involved is still in detention.
Local police said they took action in response to several public complaints against Mr Mirbahar, who has been reportedly holding drink and dance parties during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
Neighbours confirmed to the BBC that there had been an issue, but said the police did not have the right to humiliate anyone in that manner.
Pakistani activists say unless stern action is taken against the officers involved, police abuses of their power are unlikely to end here.
In the piece, Kevin Myers suggested BBC presenters Claudia Winkleman and Vanessa Feltz earned high salaries because they were Jewish.
Editor Martin Ivens said the piece, which appeared in the Irish edition and online, should not have been published.
Mr Ivens has also apologised personally to the two women.
A News UK spokesman said the column included "unacceptable comments both to Jewish people and to women in the workplace".
News UK later clarified that the decision was an editorial one taken by the Sunday Times, not a corporate decision taken by its parent company.
An apology will also be printed in next week's paper.
The column, titled "Sorry, ladies - equal pay has to be earned", follows criticism of the BBC, after it was revealed two-thirds of its stars earning more than £150,000 are male.
Commenting that two of the best-paid presenters, Winkleman and Feltz, were Jewish, Mr Myers wrote: "Good for them.
"Jews are not generally noted for their insistence on selling their talent for the lowest possible price, which is the most useful measure there is of inveterate, lost-with-all-hands stupidity."
In the article, Mr Myers also argued that male presenters may earn more because they "work harder, get sick less frequently and seldom get pregnant".
It was taken down following anger on social media and a formal complaint from the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism to press regulator Ipso.
The campaign said the removal of the article and apology from editors within hours was "proof that the decision to include the column was irrefutably wrong".
The group - which had earlier called for Mr Myers' sacking - also said he should "no longer work as a journalist at any decent publication".
Times readers - who must pay a subscription to access online content - commented on the original article to express their disgust, and called for both the writer and editor to resign.
"The proud anti-Semitism in this column is nothing short of disgraceful. Myers must go and so must the editor who approved this piece," Alan Simpson wrote.
"I think I have to cancel my subscription if the Sunday Times continues to employ this sexist anti-Semite. I hope lots of others do the same," another reader, Andrew Gilbert, said.

Mr Ivens offered the paper's "sincere apology, both for the remarks and the error of judgement that led to publication".
Frank Fitzgibbon, editor of the Sunday Times Ireland, said he took "full responsibility", adding: "This newspaper abhors anti-Semitism and did not intend to cause offence to Jewish people."
In 2009, Mr Myers wrote a column for the Irish Independent newspaper denying the Holocaust happened. It was removed following the criticism of his latest article.
Filings at Companies House reveal he stepped down last Thursday, just before his inauguration as US president.
Mr Trump had previously promised to resign from directorships in all his companies to avoid claims of conflict of interest.
His eldest sons Donald Jr and Eric have taken over control of his golf resorts in Aberdeenshire and Ayrshire.
The website of Companies House, the government agency that holds and publishes information about UK businesses, revealed he resigned as director of Trump International Golf Club Scotland Ltd on 19 January.
The company owns the course and hotel at Mr Trump's golf resort at Menie, Aberdeenshire, which was opened in 2012.
He also resigned from SLC Turnberry and Golf Recreation Scotland, which own Trump Turnberry, the course and hotel in Ayrshire which he bought in 2014.
The fourth company he stepped down from was DT Connect Europe Ltd, which operates a Sikorsky helicopter based at Prestwick airport. The aircraft has been used to transport Mr Trump's family and guests between the two golf courses.
A fifth company he stepped down from, Nitto World Ltd, is involved with his hotels.
The cash will go to regulators while the bank will also hand back $5m to customers.
The regulator accused it of "widespread illegal practice" around account openings, sales targets and compensation incentives.
"We regret instances where customers may have received a product that they did not request," the bank said.
The US Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CSFB) announced the fine and said the bank must also hire an independent consultant for a review.
"Because of the severity of these violations, Wells Fargo is paying the largest penalty the CFPB has ever imposed," said Richard Cordray, director of the regulator.
Its investigation found that to meet sales targets and possibly gain more compensation bank workers had "illegally" signed up customers for more than 2 million deposit and credit-card accounts.
Employees also issued debit cards without customers' knowledge, even creating fake email addresses to unknowingly sign up consumers to online-banking services, the regulator said.
Wells Fargo said it set up an independent review of its sales practices dating back to 2011 and had taken "disciplinary actions, including terminations of managers and team members who acted counter to our values".
The annual report of Dundee Parish Church for 1915, written by the Reverend Mr Ferguson, says: "Of all the black days that 1915 brought us, the blackest was that day in September when the news came that practically all the officers and a great number of the men of the 4th Black Watch, Dundee's own, were either killed, wounded or prisoners.
"A service like that memorial service held in our parish church on 6 October is one no member of the crowded congregation will ever forget.
"It was the city on its knees before God seeking the consecration of our common sorrow, our common sympathy, our common grateful pride, our common united purpose to bring to victory that righteous cause to which our honoured dead had given the last full measure of devotion."
An estimated 30,000 Scots from 45 battalions fought at the Battle of Loos in World War One, and about 7,000 were killed.
The British offensive, which began on 25 September, was part of an attempt by the French to break through German defences in northern France.
After partial success on the first day, the Germans reinforced and the Allied infantry were mowed down as they advanced on enemy positions.
The carnage had a devastating effect across Scotland, but Dundee was hit particularly hard.
A decade after the battle, an impressive war memorial, constructed of Cornish granite, was unveiled on Dundee Law, overlooking the town and the Tay.
The losses the city suffered are memorialised by the lighting of the flame on the war memorial every 25 September.
Dr Derek Patrick, of Dundee University, says: "If you look at the opening day of the battle it is hugely significant to Dundee and it is hugely significant to Scotland.
"Something like 30,000 or more Scots participated, representatives from all over the Scottish infantry regiments are there, so it is very much a Scottish battle.
"But Dundee is represented by its local territorial battalion - the 4th Black Watch. The officers tend to be the great and the good from Dundee."
Dr Patrick added: "Harry Walker, the commanding officer, is a partner in the Caldrum jute works, the sergeants tend to be the men who are foremen in the shipyards and the jute mills, and the other ranks are the men who work there.
"So they are really close-knit. This is quite a close-knit battalion - a city at war basically - who suffer fairly appalling casualties that day.
"In fact after the Battle of Loos they effectively cease to be a battalion in its own right. They go into action with 400-plus men and lose over 200."
Another memorial to the battle is in St Mary's church in Dundee.
Historian Dr Ann Petrie says among the carvings on the memorial are acorns, representing hope and new life, not something modern generations would associate with war.
Dr Petrie says we tend to approach these memorials with pathos and a narrative about the futility of war but the generation that built them were actually proud.
She says: "They wanted to indicate the pride of sacrifice, they even experience joy that their fathers, their sons, had stepped up to the plate in the time of need."
The historian says the war memorials are a "colossal generational effort to end war for humanity" and celebrate the gift that those who fell gave to future generations.
On the church memorial there is an inscription 'living or dead we are comrades all'.
Dr Petrie says: "It is just so sad because it is something you would only associate with the First World War where battalions were comprised of neighbours and friends and work colleagues - and the 4th battalion were literally Dundee.
"They moved the culture of Dundee with them to the Front and they would have all known each other.
"They lived and died together in the Battle of Loos. They worked in the mills together and they fell in the trenches together."
A century on from the Battle of Loos and the solemn grandeur of the Dundee Law memorial remains a fitting tribute to the men who died in what Lord Provost Bob Duncan calls "Dundee's darkest hour".
However, the city's universities have combined to create a more 21st century way of remembering the battle and its effects on the city.
They have trawled contemporary accounts from newspapers and other records and mapped the stories to locations around the city.
The information about the people who took part in the battle has been compiled to create a "digital visualisation" of the effect of the war which can be accessed on a tablet computer touchscreen.
Derek Patrick of Dundee University says: "We are quite well served in the area with DC Thomson and the newspapers of the time are filled with wonderful stories, real gems of information on these men.
"We have turned up some fantastic stories and it is really from there that we have been able to plot where these men lived, their addresses where they worked and so on."
His research has been used by Dr Iain Donald of Abertay University and his students to tell the story of the 4th Black Watch and the scale of losses of men from the city.
Dr Donald says: "We are using a 1915 map of Dundee and we are mapping locations of those that were killed in action or those missing or injured.
"There are a lot of people who sacrificed themselves on that day and it is their very first action and they leave behind families, and they are not small families."
Dr Donald says it was not uncommon for a soldier to leave behind a wife and seven children. That had a massive impact on the city.
For Dr Donald the individual stories of each soldier "show how the heart of the community is being ripped out by something that happens 600 or 700 miles away".
The comedian and actor first appeared as a panellist on the quiz show in 2009.
His debut in the host's chair will be broadcast on Friday 17 September.
"It is a massive honour to follow in the footsteps of Barrys Norman and Took, of Simon Hoggart and the delectable Sandi Toksvig and be asked to take on this role," Jupp said.
"Sandi has been remarkable in her time in charge of The News Quiz and her legacy will live on forever amongst listeners.
"Following her departure my first job will be to lead the regulars and listeners through as many of the stages of grief as are ultimately deemed necessary (by a completely independent arbiter).
"Then it will simply be a matter of dumbing it down and sexing it up. Or vice versa, depending entirely on the circumstances."
Jupp hosted the R4 panel show It's Not What You Know and wrote and starred in radio sitcom In And Out Of The Kitchen as the cookery writer Damien Trench. He later adapted the show for TV.
The 35-year-old is a familiar face on TV in programmes such as Rev, The Thick Of It, Have I Got News For You and Mock The Week. He also played Archie the inventor in the pre-school TV series Balamory.
Jupp began his comedy career in stand-up while a student at Edinburgh University.
He has appeared in a number of films including Made in Dagenham and The Monuments Men as well as plays in the London's West End and at the National Theatre, where he is currently in the cast of Rules for Living, alongside Stephen Mangan.
Toksvig announced in April that she was to step down from The News Quiz - after nine years and 28 series - to set up a new political party named the Women's Equality Party. Her last programme was broadcast last week.
Commenting on her replacement, she said: "I couldn't be more delighted that Miles Jupp is taking over as host of The News Quiz. He is perfect - affable, funny and charming. I look forward to going from host to fan."
The News Quiz was first broadcast in 1977 and is now in its 87th series.
Mike Glover, who has managed the bridge project for the decade since it was first approved, told the BBC its design would make it easy to maintain.
The new 1.7 miles (2.7km) crossing over the river Forth will open to traffic for the first time on Wednesday.
It will take most of the vehicles that currently travel over the 53-year-old Forth Road Bridge.
The existing suspension bridge will be adapted to be used by lighter traffic such as cycles, pedestrians and public transport.
Mr Glover told the BBC Radio Four documentary Gordon Goes Forth that despite the Forth Road Bridge being replaced because of issues about its safety and reliability, it could last another 50 years if it was properly maintained.
Wednesday 30 August
At about 01:00, the Queensferry Crossing will fully open to traffic in both directions.
Police will put in a place a rolling roadblock to stop traffic driving across the Forth Road Bridge and will redirect them across the Queensferry Crossing.
The northbound carriageway will be opened first. The southbound carriageway will be opened about 45 minutes later.
The bridge will be fully open to traffic for the rest of the day and the following day.
Friday 1 September
At about 01:00 the Queensferry Crossing will close to all traffic.
Police will redirect all vehicles back across the Forth Road Bridge.
It will remain closed until the early hours of Wednesday morning
Saturday 2 and Sunday 3 September
About 50,000 members of the public, who were given tickets after a ballot, will get a "once in a lifetime" chance to walk over the new bridge on Saturday and Sunday.
The Queen will officially open the Queensferry Crossing. She will be joined by the Duke of Edinburgh.
The Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland will bless the bridge, and the Queen will cut a ribbon on the south side.
Tuesday 5 September
A chance for a further 10,000 local people and school children to walk the bridge.
Wednesday 6 September
The bridge will re-open to traffic, with no pedestrian access.
The initial speed limit will be 40mph but after work has been completed to adapt the Forth Road Bridge public transport will be switched back to the old bridge and the Queensferry Crossing will become a 70 mph motorway.
The current Forth Road Bridge opened in 1964 but a serious problem was found with corrosion of the wires inside its cables not long after its 40th birthday.
The corrosion meant that the bridge's cables had already lost about 10% of their strength and it was forecast that it might not be able to take the heavy loads for much more than a decade.
The decision to replace it was taken in 2007, with construction of the new crossing beginning in September 2011.
Mr Glover, who has been the technical director of the Queensferry Crossing since 2007, calls it a "world class bridge" which will be around well into the 22nd Century.
He said: "The length of time this bridge will be in position will be well in excess of 120 years - 150 years."
The civil engineer said there were two main reasons for predicting such longevity.
"The first is that the exterior of the bridge is a continuous structure - it is a box - which means the level of maintenance that is required is very minimal, unlike the trusses on the current suspension bridge," Mr Glover said.
"The second is because the individual cables that make up the cable-stay bridge each one can be replaced without the stability of the bridge being in doubt.
"Whereas with the suspension bridge any problem with that suspension cable means that the bridge would have to be closed."
Despite the problems with the existing Forth Road Bridge, Mr Glover predicted it could survive for another 50 years now that it would be carrying lighter loads.
He says: "It does require the maintenance regime to be maintained but with modern instrumentation we will know where to look for issues."
The documentary Gordon goes Forth, presented by Gordon Brown, will be on BBC Radio Four at 20:00 on Monday 28 August.
Balotelli faces a late fitness test ahead of Wednesday's must-win Champions League game
"He has everything to be one of the best players in the world," Mancini said of his 22-year-old fellow Italian.
"He could be like Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi if he understands that to be like this you should work hard."
In March of this year, Mancini admitted that he did not trust his unpredictable striker, saying "he can score two goals next week but he can also take a red card".
And eight months on, Mancini revealed that it is still tough to coach the man he signed in August 2010 on a five-year contract from Inter Milan for a fee thought to be around £24m.
"It is not easy to work with him every day because if you are a manager, you should manage 22 players," continued Mancini.
"Mario outside the pitch is a fantastic guy. Sometimes he doesn't understand how his job is important for his life but I hope he can understand this quickly.
"He is 22 but life can go quickly. [He needs to] understand that to be like [Ronaldo and Messi] he should work hard, his mind should be always on your job, not on the other things that are not important. I am very sorry for him."
Balotelli has score 29 goals in 66 appearances for City - 17 of them in last season's Premier League title-winning campaign, although he was disimissed twice.
The second sending off came in a 1-0 defeat at Arsenal that almost derailed City's title challenge and had Mancini gesturing furiously at the ill-disciplined Italian as he appeared in no hurry to leave the action.
City's hopes of progressing to the knockout stages of this season's Champions League are slim.
They need to beat Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund in their final two Group H games and hope other results go their way.
Here are some of the main methods and principles in use.
In recent years the Environment Agency has used a range of temporary or "demountable" flood barriers to provide additional protection to flood-prone areas.
Lightweight sectional metal barriers are relatively inexpensive and can be placed in various configurations and removed completely when waters recede.
Frame barriers consist of rigid frames holding an impermeable membrane and use the weight of the floodwater itself to hold the barrier in place.
Temporary barriers can also be added to existing permanent flood defences, such as raised embankments, increasing the level of protection.
Natural flood management offers a sustainable approach to managing floods and is intended to complement traditional "hard engineering" techniques, such as flood barrier and concrete walls.
These schemes rely on a combination of small-scale interventions with the aim of reducing the speed of the flow of converging water before it reaches larger rivers.
Natural flood defence features include small barriers in ditches and fields, or notches cut into embankments, all of which divert the water into open land.
Letting pools form outside the main channel of the river means the water is temporarily removed from the main flow reducing the power of the floodwaters.
Trees can also help defend against floods. Planting more trees catches rainfall and helps take water from the soil - although the Environment Agency says large areas must be reforested to make a real difference.
Felled trees can also be laid across streams in wooded areas and help push unusually high waters into surrounding woodlands, although such schemes need very careful planning and management.
BBC iWonder: Find out what human activities are making floods more likely
Sustainable drainage is a concept often applied to towns and cities which are especially prone to flash flooding after sudden heavy rain.
In urban areas, large areas of concrete and tarmac, as well as the roofs of buildings, are impermeable to water. Rain is channelled straight into drainage systems which can quickly become overwhelmed.
In the UK, the Flood Act of 2010 obliges builders to landscape developments so that water from roofs and driveways seeps into open ground rather than rushing into the water system.
Sustainable drainage guidelines suggest that impermeable surfaces should be replaced with permeable material, allowing rainwater to drain into the ground - a process known as infiltration.
Large "detention basins" can also be built to collect rainwater and hold it, managing the volume of water entering urban rivers, while ponds offer further water-holding capacity.
Farmers in Somerset claim a lack of river dredging worsened the impact of the flooding that hit the region in January 2014.
But the issue of whether rivers should be dredged is not clear cut.
The Environment Agency says that while dredging can improve general land drainage, it cannot prevent rivers from flooding, due to the huge volumes of water involved during major floods.
The basic aim of dredging is to remove silt - a sedimentary material made of fine sand, clay and small-sized particles of rock - from the river's bed, therefore increasing its capacity to carry water downstream.
The process usually involves an excavator, or vacuum pump, mounted on a barge or on the riverbank, to remove silt from the river.
The process is costly, sometimes harmful to the environment, and can weaken riverbanks as well as the foundations of bridges and weirs, the Environment Agency says.
After a major flood, large volumes of silt may accumulate in slow-flowing areas and the river may need to be dredged again.
Known for such cult classics as Easy Rider, Apocalypse Now and Blue Velvet, Hopper embodied the image of the Hollywood icon.
Hopper died on Saturday morning surrounded by friends and family at his home in Venice, California.
He was last seen in public in March when he was honoured with a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame.
"Dennis Hopper died this morning at 8:15 am from complications of metastasised prostate cancer. He died at home in Venice surrounded by family and friends," manager Sam Maydew said in a statement.
Hopper directed the 1969 counter-culture road movie Easy Rider, which he co-wrote with and starred alongside Peter Fonda. The pair were nominated for a best screenplay Academy Award.
"Dennis introduced me to the world of Pop Art and 'lost' films. We rode the highways of America and changed the way movies were made in Hollywood. I was blessed by his passion and friendship," Fonda told the TMZ website following Hopper's death.
Hopper was seen as a Hollywood hell-raiser
Obituary: Dennis Hopper
In pictures: Dennis Hopper
Following a promising start to his career, with a role in James Dean's Rebel Without a Cause, Hopper developed a reputation as a hell-raiser with a penchant for drink and drugs.
Following his success with Easy Rider, and the disastrous The Last Movie, his on-set clashes with directors and fellow actors saw him effectively blacklisted by Hollywood.
It took nearly 10 years for Hopper to win back starring roles, with his critically acclaimed role in David Lynch's Blue Velvet marking a turning point in his career, although his personal life remained turbulent.
Wed five times, his final marriage, to Victoria Duffy, turned into an acrimonious split in 2010 when she accused his family of trying to cut her out of his life.
In April a judge ruled that Duffy, who shared a young daughter with Hopper, could remain at the marital home.
It was during the court hearings that it was revealed Hopper was terminally ill with prostate cancer, following his diagnosis last year. | Hundreds of people have gathered to welcome Welsh Olympians and Paralympians home at a ceremony in Cardiff.

The year-long inquiry in Dublin has been examining the reasons behind the 2008 banking crisis and economic crash.
On Sunday, Pearse Doherty said he was unable to sign off on the report.
He said: "While the report includes new information, it fails to fully answer the questions regarding how the crisis came about and who was responsible."
Mr Doherty, who is the party's finance spokesman, said people "deserve the full truth".
"When I agreed to take part in the banking inquiry, foremost in my mind were the people who have lost their homes and businesses, the cuts inflicted on our public services and the generation forced into emigration because of the banking crisis," he said.
"The people have the right to know how the banking crisis came about, who was responsible and to be assured that it would never happen again."
Members of the committee have been holding further discussions on Sunday after failing to reach agreement about key sections on Saturday.
The draft report must go to a legal review on Monday. The deadline for the committee to publish its findings is 27 January 2016.
The Republic of Ireland experienced a catastrophic financial crisis in 2008 from which it still has not fully recovered.
The country's banking sector had to be almost entirely nationalised when the bursting of a property price bubble coincided with a global downturn.
The inquiry, which began hearing from witnesses in December 2014, has been looking at the political, economic, social, cultural, financial and behavioural factors that contributed to the crisis, as well as the preventative reforms which followed.
Bombardier's shares rose nearly 7% while Siemens' shares hit a record high before easing back.
Talks between Bombardier, a major supplier of London Underground trains, and Siemens started earlier this year, according to media reports.
Analysts said a deal would help tackle growing competition from China.
The proposed merger would firmly establish the world's second biggest train maker, Reuters and Bloomberg reported.
It would also help Siemens and Bombardier compete with market leader, China's state-backed CRRC, they said.
The merged company would have joint sales of $16bn (£13bn), but the tie-up would face close scrutiny from competition regulators, Reuters reported.
The impact from a deal would be felt beyond the Bombardier and Siemens' home markets of Canada and Germany respectively.
Bombardier's rail unit employs 3,500 staff in the UK and has built trains for operators including Greater Anglia, Scotrail and in London.
Siemens employs 700 train workers in the UK and its contracts include supplying Eurostar trains.
RBC analyst Walter Spracklin said that although details were lacking, he viewed a combination of the two positively.
He pointed to shared expertise of industry leaders, potential cost savings and better competition against lower-cost Chinese companies that are "beginning to reach beyond their own borders".
Siemens and Bombardier have discussed a merger before, but are under pressure after consolidation elsewhere in the rail industry.
CRRC was created by combining China's two biggest players in 2015.
Bombardier shares rose 6.8% in Toronto on Tuesday, while Siemens shares rose 2.4% at one point before slipping back to finish 0.4% higher.
The BBC is yet to receive a comment from Siemens or Bombardier, but both firms declined to comment when contacted by news agencies.

The Mail said Cainer was "quite simply, Britain's greatest astrologer" and that his death was a "tragedy".
Cainer was the newspaper's astrologer from 1992 to 2000, returning to write the column again from 2004. His horoscopes were translated into Japanese, Spanish, Italian and Chinese.
The Mail said Cainer had died from a suspected heart attack but that this had not been confirmed.
A Daily Mail spokesman said: "A much-loved contributor to the Daily Mail for 20 years, his wisdom and compassion were unmatched.
"Millions of readers couldn't start the day without him - and would end it marvelling at the uncanny accuracy of his forecasts.
"It's an absolute tragedy that Jonathan has passed away at such a young age and we have no doubt his countless fans will join us in expressing heartfelt condolences to his family. "
A statement on Cainer's website said: "'Didn't he see it coming?' is a question that will inevitably be asked. Jonathan was always adamant that astrologers should not look to predict the time of a person's demise.
"He said there was the danger of creating a self-fulfilling prophecy.
"But he was well aware that one day he might not be physically present to supply the predictions that so many people rely on."
The statement also said Cainer had already written a number of forecasts and predictions, which would be published in future.
Cainer's own Sagittarian horoscope for Monday was "uncannily prescient", the statement added.
He had written: "We aren't here for long. We should make the most of every moment. We all understand this yet don't we forget it, many times? We get caught up in missions, battles and desires. We imagine that we have forever and a day.
"In one way, we may be right - for are we not eternal spirits, temporarily residing in finite physical form?"
The former nightclub manager was married and had eight children from several relationships.
He got his first astrology column in 1986 with the now-closed Today newspaper.
He also worked at the Daily Express and the Daily Mirror, but was best known for his Daily Mail columns.
Cainer was born in Surbiton, Surrey, in 1957 and had six brothers and sisters.
He left school at 15 without qualifications, first working as a petrol pump attendant before later moving to the United States in the 1980s to manage both a nightclub and his brother's musical career.
Upon his return to the UK, he studied at the Faculty of Astrological Studies in London before embarking upon his newspaper career.
His newspaper columns, phone lines and website meant his work became followed by people in many different countries.
According to the Daily Mail, he employed 30 people as a support team for his business, which had a reported annual turnover of some £2m.
Stephen McManus put into his own net to give the home side the lead before Grant Leadbitter equalised when his effort struck the underside of the bar and crept in.
Wolves made it 2-1 when Bjorn Sigurdarson slotted home but Leadbitter levelled again with a great strike.
With 20 minutes remaining, Kevin Doyle headed in what proved to be the winner.
The result moves Wolves up to 22nd, level on 45 points with 21st-placed Peterborough, who also won.
Defeat, though, was a blow to Middlesbrough's play-off hopes. Tony Mowbray's side are now six points shy of sixth-placed Brighton.
Wolves were on the back foot early in the match, although it was home defender Kaspars Gorkss, instead of a Boro player, who forced home goalkeeper Dorus De Vries into making the first good save.
Boro hit the bar a total of four times in the first half, courtesy of efforts from Justin Hoyte, Leadbitter (twice) and Mustapha Carayol.
After full-back Hoyte rattled the bar with a powerful strike, Wolves took the lead when Stephen Hunt's low cross was turned in by McManus.
A few moments later Boro equalised when Leadbitter struck the post with a shot then followed up with a strike that rebounded against the underside of the crossbar and was judged to have crossed the line.
Carayol came close to giving the visitors the lead when a superb effort that was palmed on to the bar by De Vries.
Wolves re-took the lead after the break when Sylvan Ebanks-Blake's backheel found Sigurdarson, who eased past keeper Jason Steele before tapping in.
But Mowbray's men levelled once more when Leadbitter smashed in a tremendous 25-yard strike that found the bottom corner.
With less than a quarter of the match left to play, Doyle rounded off the scoring when he nodded in Roger Johnson's flick-on from Matt Doherty's throw-in.
Wolves manager Dean Saunders [on Grant Leadbitter's first goal]:
"The ball was not over the line. The assistant referee was seven yards out when he gave it and he was not in line with the goal.
"I can't understand why he gave it. He is just guessing. Don't give it if you aren't sure.
"All the players knew at half-time that it was not over the line but they have shown some great character after they have had a punch from the officials."
Middlesbrough manager Tony Mowbray:
"I stopped looking at the table in my mind a few weeks ago. We just have to win football matches. If we win games let's see where the season takes us. But obviously we are finding it difficult to matches at the moment.
"Yet if we had won at Derby County on New Year's Day we could have gone top of the table and that is the stark reality of our position.
"Confidence does get eroded with defeats and yet the defeats probably come along because you don't have key players available.
"I felt that we gave Wolves a tough game but the reality is that we did not get any points."

The Devils Hole pupfish survive in 32-degree Celsius water in a rock shaft in Death Valley in the US.
Previous studies suggested they could have become separated as a distinct population more than 10,000 years ago.
But the latest genetic analysis points to the pupfish being resident in their unique habitat for perhaps only a few hundred years at most.
Christopher Martin and colleagues tell a Royal Society journal that the revelation raises interesting questions as to how the animals got into their present location.
There are other pupfish populations in Death Valley but for any of those to have colonised Devils Hole they would somehow have had to cross one of the driest, hottest deserts on Earth.
"My best guess is that they got in there during some extreme flooding event," Dr Martin, a scientist from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, told BBC News.
"The ages we've come up with for the Devils Hole fish do overlap with the great flood of 1862, which was the largest rainfall event ever recorded for California/Nevada.
"We also know that pupfish eggs are adhesive and will stick to vegetation, so it's possible they came in stuck on birds' legs."
It is not beyond possibility that the fish were directly moved by Native Americans at some point.
The Devils Hole pupfish (Cyprinodon diabolis) were once dubbed the "rarest fish on the planet" because their numbers were so limited. As few as 35 individuals have been counted in the past.
They certainly live a precarious existence. Their rock pool is more than 100m deep, which means they must spawn on a narrow shelf near the surface.
Food takes the form of algae, but this is in short supply for two months of the year when sunlight does not fall on the water's surface. A mass die-off is a regular occurrence.
The geological evidence suggests the rock pool opened to the surface about 60,000 years ago, and that large regions of Death Valley were under water some 10,000 years. This would have enabled pupfish populations in the region to move more freely.
Some of the first genetic analyses that tried to age the distinctiveness of Cyprinodon diabolis looked at mitochondrial DNA - genetic material held in the "energy factories" in cells. This DNA incorporates mutations at a regular rate through the generations, and can be used as a kind of clock. But the approach is notoriously sensitive to the calibration rules that are applied to the analysis.
Early mtDNA efforts suggested Cyprinodon diabolis might have been a separate species for 2-3 million years. But the geological indicators rule this out.
For their study, Dr Martin and his team deployed the very latest genomic techniques, analysing thousands of genetic markers and using demographic models that took into account the variation that exists within and across pupfish populations. Calibration was applied from what appeared to be more solid data based on pupfish diversity in Mexico.
The research estimates that Devils Hole was colonised between 105 and 830 years ago.
"They are special fish," said Dr Martin. "The ecology of the Devils Hole is reflected by the very phenotypic distinctiveness of these pupfish. They have not only reduced aggression and a darker metallic colouration, but they have completely lost their pelvic fins. We don't know whether the loss of this major appendage is due to the effects of severe inbreeding over time or if it's adaptive in this habit."
The study is published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B.

The 35-year-old will face Rafael Nadal on Sunday if the Spaniard beats Grigor Dimitrov in Friday's semi-final.
The Swiss, returning from a six-month lay-off to rest his left knee, last won a major at Wimbledon in 2012.
He is the oldest man to reach a Grand Slam final since Ken Rosewall did so at the 1974 US Open at the age of 39.
"I couldn't be happier right now," said Federer. "I felt like everything happened so quickly at the end, I had to check the score.
"I never ever in my wildest dreams thought I'd come this far in Australia. It's beautiful, I'm so happy."
Federer's extraordinary run in Melbourne had already seen him beat top-10 seeds Tomas Berdych and Kei Nishikori to reach the last four.
Seeded 17th following his injury, Federer had an 18-3 record against the fourth seed and reigning US Open champion coming into the semi-final, but the two had never played a five-set match.
Both players needed medical treatment during a match of high intensity but it was the 17-time Grand Slam winner who finally prevailed after three hours and five minutes.
Federer will now seek a fifth Australian Open title, and his first in Melbourne since 2010, when he plays in his 28th Grand Slam final and 100th Australian Open match on Sunday.
What makes Federer's run to the final remarkable is the combination of being in the twilight of his career and not having played competitively since his Wimbledon semi-final exit last year.
Federer missed the Olympic Games and the rest of the 2016 season to have "more extensive rehabilitation" on a knee injury suffered in February while he ran a bath for his twin daughters.
He played just seven tour events last year, leading to him dropping out of the world's top 10 for the first time in over 14 years.
After beginning his comeback with victories against Britain's Dan Evans and France's Richard Gasquet in the Hopman Cup - a non-ranked event played in the first week of January - Federer played down his chances of going far in the Australian Open.
But, after reaching his first Slam final since the 2015 US Open, he finally spoke about the prospect of winning in Melbourne.
"I can really actually talk about playing a final - I've been dodging that bullet for a few rounds," he said.
"I'll leave it all out here in Australia and if I can't walk for five months that's OK."
Wawrinka noted how the tour and the fans had missed Federer, saying: "Everyone wants even more to see him play, to see him win. He's flying on the court. He's playing amazing tennis. He's the best player ever."
Former world number one Federer started the match brightly and had three early break points before converting his first set point, on Wawrinka's serve, in the 12th game.
Wawrinka, the 2014 Australian Open champion, was broken for the second time at 2-3 in the second set as Federer maintained his impressive standards.
Clearly frustrated, the 31-year-old Wawrinka cracked his racquet in two over his left knee and, after the set, left the court with a trainer for treatment to his other knee.
But he came back superbly to win the third set in 26 minutes and break Federer in the ninth game of the fourth set to take the match to a decider.
Federer went off for a lengthy medical timeout for treatment to his leg as the physical nature of the match started to tell.
He also came back fighting and broke Wawrinka in the sixth game when the US Open champion double-faulted on break point.
There was no let-up as Federer completed a stunning victory to the delight of the majority of fans in Rod Laver Arena.
Federer explained why, after losing the fourth set, he left the arena to take his injury timeout.
"I have had a leg thing going on for a week and felt it from the second game on in the match," he said.
"If you go off the court, that means the treatment is further up the leg.
"I never take injury timeouts. Stan took his, so I thought people won't be mad - Stan won't be mad hopefully.
"You hope something works, and that the physio has some magic hands going on."
If 14-time major winner Nadal wins his semi-final the pair would contest their ninth Grand Slam final together and their first since the French Open in 2011, when Nadal won in four sets.
"Rafa has presented me with the biggest challenge in the game," Federer said when asked about the prospect.
"I'm his number one fan. His game is tremendous. He's an incredible competitor.
"I'm happy we had some epic battles over the years and of course it would be unreal to play here. I think both of us would never have thought we would be here playing in the finals."
BBC tennis correspondent Russell Fuller:
Australia Day was graced by two remarkable achievements by two remarkable players in their mid-thirties.
One, Roger Federer, has spent six months out of the game after knee surgery, and the other, Venus Williams, has lived for many years with an auto-immune disorder which causes fatigue and joint pain.
Federer had to win a deciding set against one of the toughest men on the block. The extraordinary defence he produced when Wawrinka hammered a forehand towards him on break point early in the fifth set turned out to be worth its weight in gold.
Yes, Mischa Zverev did him a favour by taking out Andy Murray, but Federer has now beaten Wawrinka, Nishikori and Berdych - with two of those matches going the distance.

Tan Lay Hoon described her encounter with a fellow passenger she saw cross-stitching on the MRT network.
"The embroidery floss running through her needle was about 45cm long, so I suggested to the woman that it could be dangerous to sew inside the confines of a moving train. There were commuters seated on both sides of her," the letter read.
"She replied that she had been sewing while riding in trains for a long time and returned to her task."
The letter was posted on an online forum for Singapore's state-linked newspaper The Straits Times.
"If the woman is pulling the needle in an upward movement and is caught unexpectedly by a sudden staggering of the train, an involuntary jerk of the hand holding the needle may cause the needle to jab at a fellow commuter sitting or standing close by," Ms Tan continued.
"There will be very serious consequences if the needle impales an eye or other body part of a nearby commuter who could not move away in time."
Singapore's Land Transport Authority, which operates its public trains, has not yet commented on the situation - but Singapore's vocal online community has.
One of the most popular comments came from actor Tushar Ismail. It drew close to 2,000 likes.
"I saw a guy swaying to music once. And I thought this was very dangerous. The trains lurch sometimes and if he sways in the direction of the lurch he could be propelled forward into another commuter who would then be rammed into one of the poles, breaking his neck, or back, or even cracking his skull," he said in jest.
Other users like Singaporean Ian Chionh also poked fun at the situation.
"I saw a man wearing a tie with a clip that was not secured to his shirt. I worry that if the train jerks and lurches, as trains normally do, the tie may be flung left or right of that inconsiderate man," he said in a comment, drawing more than 1,000 likes.
"Whatever you choose to do on the MRT, be sure to always mind the gap," another user said.
Other users questioned what this letter said about Singapore society.
"Was this a joke I read? To think it was published in our national paper as something to be taken seriously," commented account executive Delia Goh.
Another user Sylvia Lam said: "This only shows how easily Singaporeans turn to complaining, we've become such a self-entitled society. By the way, where is the button for us to push to eject annoying complainers?"
The woman, who is believed to be 42, was pronounced dead at Ostell Crescent, Enfield, shortly after midnight on Saturday.
The Metropolitan Police arrest a 41-year-old man at the scene. He is currently in custody at an east London police station.
A post-mortem examination is expected to take place later.
Excessive nitrate levels were detected in some powdered milk samples and the products were branded as sub-standard, Xinhua news agency said.
The watchdog urged Shaanxi to punish producers found to have broken laws.
The quality of milk products remains a sensitive topic in China after a deadly tainted milk scandal in 2008.
At least six children died and some 300,000 fell ill after consuming milk products contaminated by melamine at that time.
Imported milk became highly prized in China after the scandal.
In 2013, however, the mainland imposed a temporary ban on all imports of milk powder from New Zealand after its main dairy exporter, Fonterra, found a bacterial strain that can cause botulism in some of its products .
China continues to rely on New Zealand for almost all its imports of milk powder.
A Scottish FA disciplinary tribunal found that the striker was guilty of "not acting in the best interests of association football".
The 25-year-old was last week admonished by a sheriff after confessing to the incident in court.
The singing about the former Hearts player took place in March 2014.
The incident happened as fans gathered before a Hearts-Hibs derby game at Tynecastle and led to Celtic fining the player four weeks' wages.
Following his brief court appearance in Edinburgh, Griffiths released a statement, saying: "I made a mistake, I wrongly became involved in this incident and did not fully consider my actions.
"I apologise unreservedly for this."
The SFA says the fine is payable within 30 days and that the suspension will be triggered if there is a further breach of disciplinary rule 77 before the end of the season.
Staff were given the chance to choose what they wanted to do, and cricket did not feature high on their wish list.
The match will be replaced by rounders, football and egg-and spoon races.
The summer party takes place at the Bank's sports ground in Roehampton in south-west London on Sunday.
"The governor has not banned cricket," a spokesperson for the Bank said.
"He wanted the activities at Governors' Day to be chosen by staff for staff and their families. Staff chose a number of sports, such as rounders, football and tug of war, among others."
Former governor Sir Mervyn King is a huge cricket fan and played in the Bank's game every year, often against a team comprising professional cricketers.
The Bank's annual cricket match pre-dates Sir Mervyn's tenure as governor.
Shell and energy firm SSE are in the running for UK government funding to develop a commercial scheme.
Shell's project leader Bill Spence said it was "encouraging" news.
It is thought about 600 jobs would be created at the height of the construction phase.
Stocks had tumbled on Friday in the wake of the UK's vote to leave the EU.
However, Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 remains on track to reverse those losses. The index closed up 0.1% at 15,575.92.
The gains came despite fresh data showing May's industrial output falling at the fastest rate in three months.
The slowdown has investors hoping the central bank will step in to take some stimulus action.
"We retain our forecast that the Bank of Japan will announce more easing at next month's meeting," Capital Economics' senior Japan economist Marcel Thieliant said in a note.
Elsewhere in Asia, investors also remained upbeat. Hong Kong's Hang Seng index rose 1.75% to 20,794.37, while the China's benchmark Shanghai Composite closed flat at 2,929.61.
In Australia, the ASX/200 index closed 1.8% higher at 5,233.38.
South Korea's Kospi index ended the day at 1,970.35, up 0.7% from the previous close.
Previously ministers have made a judgment on how much support each technology needed to thrive.
This is the first time the technologies have been forced to bid against each other for government support.
The solar power industry says it has suffered a huge blow from its cut in support.
Offshore wind, still in relative infancy, is the biggest winner with 1,162 megawatts receiving public support to 2019. Onshore wind will get support for 749MW.
The biggest loser is solar, with public support for just 71MW – a figure that the industry says will result in a big drop in its market.
Solar is expected eventually to become the top source of energy globally by 2050 as the technology continues to improve.
Costs have fallen 70% recently - thanks partly to huge German subsidies that attracted venture capitalists and drew Chinese manufacturers into the market. But the industry says it is not quite ready to compete without subsidy yet in the cloudy UK.
Leonie Greene from the Solar Trade Association told BBC News: “This is incredibly bad news. We cannot understand why support is so little.
“Solar is massively popular with the public and will compete with fossil fuels by the end of the decade if it is helped along the way. Today’s decision appeared to be skewed in favour of the big energy suppliers who dominate the market.”
Subsidy costs for solar in the UK have already been slashed as costs fell much faster than predicted.
It is impossible for ministers to tell exactly how much subsidy is really needed for any technology as all industries talk up their need for subsidies. The government needs renewables to meet targets on energy supplies and climate change.
It has already been criticised by MPs for doling out most of its subsidy pot to a handful of high-profile projects without competition.
The government says the projects approved today could power 1.4m homes. It says the auction has driven down prices and could save £110m a year in subsidies, giving consumers better value for money.
The subsidy for solar was 58% less than it would have been without competition, the government said – although Ms Greene said she was not sure if solar power could be built at the price currently on offer.
The subsidy for offshore wind will cost 18% less than previously, and onshore wind 17% less. The idea is for new technologies eventually to stand on their own feet without subsidies when they reach maturity. Critics point out that nuclear power is still being heavily subsidised more than 60 years after it started producing energy.

An ambulance was called to the Widcombe Parade area in Bath city centre on Friday afternoon.
He was one of four men taken to the Royal United Hospital, South West Ambulance said.
Avon and Somerset Police said it was investigating claims members of the group had taken a legal high before the ambulance was called.
Government statistics show 74,630 households, nearly 80% of them with children, were being housed temporarily by the end of September.
Charities said the figures continued a rising trend, and painted a desperate picture of the trauma of homelessness.
The government said it was committed to supporting society's most vulnerable.
This was why the Department for Communities and Local Government was investing over £550m to tackle and reduce homelessness, it said.
But Gavin Smart, deputy chief executive of the Chartered Institute of Housing, said the most worrying thing was that an increase in the levels of homelessness had become predictable.
"Yet again the number of homeless households has increased and there was a 9% climb in the number of households living in temporary accommodation last quarter, when compared to the same period in 2015.
"This is a rising trend that shows no sign of reversing.
"Some positive moves were made in the Autumn Statement to address rough sleeping and tackle the shortage of affordable housing which remains one of the root causes of homelessness.
"But it is clear we still need a much more joined up, strategic effort from government to tackle what has now become a seemingly inevitable quarterly increase in homelessness levels in the UK."
"No one should be without a home at Christmas but homelessness is a problem all year round and one the government must make a top priority."
Figures also revealed that 21,400 households - a third of those in temporary lodgings - had been moved away from where they became homeless to a different council area.
Chief executive of housing charity Shelter Campbell Robb said: "Today's figures paint a desperate picture of the thousands of families facing not only the trauma of homelessness, but also the prospect of having to move away from their friends, families and everything they hold dear.
"It's especially heart breaking to know that so many children will find themselves waking up without somewhere to call home this Christmas morning."
Research by Shelter found that most moves are to a neighbouring local authority. Three quarters of moves are to a neighbouring local authority.
This is means that one in four moves are a significant distance away from their local area, beyond a reasonable travelling distance of local services, families' neighbourhood, support networks and children's schools.
A quick look back at the statistics, published quarterly, over the last few years shows there is little movement between the third and second quarters.
The figures also showed evictions from the private rented sector were the leading cause of homelessness, with 18,820 households being homeless after an eviction last year.
This was 12% higher than a year ago.
But the government quoted other figures showing the number of households accepted as being statutorily homeless (a different measure of homelessness) between 1 July and 30 September 2016, was down 1% on the previous quarter.
And it highlighted that the number of people found to be homeless is down by 58% from the 2003-04 peak.
Opener David Warner broke a thumb during Saturday's second ODI and was replaced by Yorkshire's Aaron Finch.
Injuries to all-rounder Shane Watson (calf) and Coulter-Nile (hamstring) in that game have forced the tourists to raid county cricket again.
John Hastings and Peter Handscomb join the squad for Tuesday's third ODI.
Seamer Hastings, 29, has been Durham's overseas player this summer. He has played 11 ODIs for Australia, with his last international appearance being his only Test in December 2012.
Uncapped wicketkeeper-batsman Handscomb, 24, born in Melbourne to English parents, has been playing for Gloucestershire this season on a UK passport.
Although he has featured for Australia A, if he were to appear for the full international side, it would threaten his ability to continue as a "domestic" player in England.
It means Australia have lost the services of seven players since their tour began in late June.
Paceman Ryan Harris retired before the start of the Ashes Test series, keeper Brad Haddin missed a Test for family reasons and left the tour early, while captain Michael Clarke and opener Chris Rogers retired after the final Test.
Coach Darren Lehmann said of the latest trio of withdrawals: "We looked at all options including the possibility of flying in cover from Australia.
"But the fact all three of the players we have drafted in are already in England means they can join us at short notice, be acclimatised to conditions and be available for selection immediately, if required."
Australia lead the five-match series 2-0, with the third ODI at Old Trafford on Tuesday.
Glasgow went down 38-13 at Allianz Park and had their errors routinely punished by the defending champions.
Townsend says his players will be stronger for their last-eight foray.
"They have to learn that this is the highest level of the game and there are things you have to get right," the head coach told BBC Scotland.
"Physicality is one. We have to keep that physicality in attack and defence up for 80 minutes, because teams like Saracens do.
"Execution - the plays you work on during the week have to come off and you have to nail whatever it is - line-outs, scrums, passing moves and you've got to take your chances in big games like this."
After trailing 14-3 at the break, Lee Jones hauled Glasgow back within a score when he gathered Finn Russell's kick and battled between Alex Goode and Chris Ashton to touch down.
The momentum appeared to be swinging the Warriors' way, but mistakes from the visitors, and furious counterattacking from the hosts, released the pressure, with Sarries sealing their semi-final berth by scoring three tries of their own.
"We're disappointed the players weren't able to play at their best today," added Townsend.
"A big part of that was the opposition we were up against, but we weren't as accurate as we needed to be in a big game like that.
"We believed in the group, believed we could win, but it's very unusual for a team to win on their first occasion in the last eight.
"What we've learned today has got to keep for the next few years. We failed in the Pro12 on a few occasions and finally made the breakthrough (winning the title in 2015).
"So we've got to use this learning today for when the players next play together, when they play at international level, but definitely when they play for the club over the next few years."
Russian track and field athletes were banned from the 2016 Olympics following claims of state-sponsored doping.
The 34-year-old, who won gold in Athens and Beijing, was among 68 athletes to appeal against the ban.
"The chance to help Russian athletes return to the elite is a huge motivation for me," she said.
"It will be some sort of compensation for not being able to compete in Rio. I want our athletes to take part in international competitions."
Isinbayeva, who has never failed a test in her career, wants to replace Dmitri Shlyakhtin when he steps down in November.
Russia was suspended from track and field events by the International Association of Athetics Federations (IAAF) in November 2015 following the publication of an independent World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) report that showed a culture of widespread, state-sponsored doping.
"The ARAF has a difficult path ahead in trying to return to international athletics," added Isinbayeva.
"The fact that I was not allowed to compete in the 2016 Olympics will help me to try to make sure that the ARAF is a member of the IAAF again."

Sunday's temperatures were -21C (-31C wind chill) at kick-off, making it the joint third coldest game in history.
Free hand warmers and coffee were given to fans in Minneapolis.
Vikings kicker Blair Walsh missed a last-gasp field goal as Seahawks won 10-9 to set up a play-off game with the Carolina Panthers.
"It's my fault. I don't care if you give me a watermelon, I should be able to put that through," said Walsh.
Vikings coach Mike Zimmer agreed: "It's a chip shot, he's gotta make it."
In Sunday's other game, Green Bay came from 11-0 down to beat Washington 35-18 and will play Arizona Cardinals.
Kansas City and Pittsburgh both won on Saturday.
Saturday, 16 January:
AFC: Kansas City at New England
NFC: Green Bay at Arizona
Sunday, 17 January:
AFC: Pittsburgh at Denver
NFC: Seattle at Carolina
The coldest NFL game in terms of air temperature was 1967's 'Ice Bowl' between Green Bay and Dallas, which at kick off was -25C (-44C wind chill).
Supporters were encouraged to bring blankets and "styrofoam, cardboard or newspapers to place under their feet" to prevent prolonged contact with the concrete floor in the stands.
The Vikings said it was the coldest game in their history, beating the previous record from 3 December 1972, when the air temperature was -18C and the wind chill was -28C.
The Vikings are currently playing at TCF Bank Stadium, home of the University of Minnesota's football team, while a new stadium on the site of the Metrodome, their home from 1982 to 2013, is under construction.
A special city council meeting, the first since the attack at the singer's show on 22 May, began with a tribute to those who died.
It also saw the 23-year-old become the first honorary citizen of the city.
Council leader Sir Richard Leese said the meeting showed "terrorists" that the city "will not be cowed".
Salman Abedi, 22, detonated a home-made bomb in the arena's foyer at the end of Grande's concert, killing 22 people and injuring 198 others.
Within two weeks of the attack, the singer returned to the city to headline a benefit concert in support of the newly formed We Love Manchester Emergency Fund charity.
The charity, of which Grande is a patron, has raised more than £12m to date.
The meeting began with the city's Lord Mayor Eddy Newman calling for "a moment's quiet reflection" as he read out the names of those who were killed.
It then heard from some of those who were involved in helping the victims in the aftermath, including a theatre sister from Wythenshawe Hospital, who said the "aftershock" of what happened was "still tangible".
Council meetings aren't ordinarily a place for string quartets and moments of emotion and grief, but the impact of the attack on Manchester and its people has changed that.
Some of the families of the 22 victims were present to hear accounts from those involved in the response on the night - a nurse at a local hospital, a council officer setting up support centres and a taxi company's boss, whose drivers ferried terrified survivors for free.
There's a deep sense here that while life goes on, for many, it will never be the same again.
Through tears, Mark Rainey, from the council's response team, said the attack had been very difficult and had seen the council "activate a number of plans we never wanted to use, such as the mass fatality plan".
The meeting also heard from youth councillor Daniel Rimes, who said there was now a "dialogue of hope and confidence" which was allowing "young people to have difficult conversations".
He said the city's young had been an "image of unity and strength", adding: "Hate cannot be responded to with hate, hate can only be responded to with hope".
Addressing the meeting with the motion to create honorary citizens, Sir Richard said those who helped in the aftermath had shown the "spirit of Manchester... of strength and defiance".
He also spoke of the proposed first recipient of the award, Ariana Grande, who had "brought comfort to thousands" when she had returned to the city to perform a benefit concert for those affected by the attack.
He added it would have been "understandable if she never wanted to see this place again".
The motion to create the new award was then passed unanimously, before the meeting was closed by members of the string section of the Halle Orchestra, who performed the song Don't Look Back In Anger.
Mr Newman said the song, by Mancunian rock band Oasis, had come to symbolise the sense of strength and defiance in the city.
Webb highlighted Leicester fly-half Owen Williams and Wasps open-side flanker Thomas Young, who are among seven uncapped players in the squad.
"It's great these new boys have been called into the squad," said Webb.
"The likes of Owen Williams and Thomas Young have been playing exceptionally well."
The seven uncapped players in the Wales squad are Ospreys flanker Olly Cracknell, Newport Gwent Dragons wing Ashton Hewitt, Ospreys lock Rory Thornton, Williams, Scarlets wing Steffan Evans, Scarlets scrum-half Aled Davies and Young.
Thornton and Davies have previously been involved in Wales squads.
"It's great for them to be named in the squad and they can put the heat on the boys that finished the jerseys off last," Webb told Scrum V Radio.
Williams, who joins Gloucester for 2017-18, is challenging Webb's Ospreys team-mates Dan Biggar and Sam Davies for the Wales fly-half spot.
Cardiff Blues' Sam Warburton and Justin Tipuric of Ospreys stand in Young's way in the battle for the number seven jersey, while Gloucester's Ross Moriarty has also played there.
Webb will continue his bid for full fitness before Wales face Italy in Rome on Sunday, 5 February as Ospreys host Bristol in the Anglo-Welsh Cup on Saturday.
The 28-year-old, who has 23 Wales caps, scored on his return from an ankle injury in the 26-21 European Challenge Cup win at Newcastle last weekend.
On Saturday, Webb will play in his hometown of Bridgend as Ospreys opted to play at the Brewery Field rather than their usual Liberty Stadium venue.
"I know I've been out of the game for 12 weeks, but I know what I'm capable of doing," said Webb.
"I'm feeling fit and ready and glad they've released me back this weekend to get some more minutes under my belt.
"And I'll be ready then if I'm named in the squad for next weekend [against Italy]."
Weighing five tonnes, the 13.8m (45-ft) white fibreglass statue shows the pope standing with outstretched arms.
It stands on a hill above the city of Czestochowa in southern Poland.
The city is home to the country's most important pilgrimage site, the Jasna Gora monastery, and its icon of the Black Madonna.
The ceremony began with an actor reading fragments of texts written by the late pope.
A choir sang and the archbishop of Czestochowa blessed the statue.
Constructed around a steel framework, the statue has been built by a company that manufactures fibreglass statues such as ones of dinosaurs you see in theme parks, says the BBC's Adam Easton in Warsaw.
It presents something of a contrast, standing in the grounds of a park displaying miniature models of places of worship, our correspondent says.
The man funding the project, Leszek Lyson, said he wanted to give thanks to John Paul II for the life of his son, whom Mr Lyson saved from drowning during a family holiday in Croatia three years ago.
Poland is one of the most Roman Catholic countries in Europe but the statue has not won universal acclaim, adds our correspondent.
A campaign on the social networking site, Facebook, successfully lobbied to have the statue face the city instead of the other way round as was planned.
And Czestochowa's architects' association says the fibreglass structure lacks quality.
Born Karol Wojtyla in Wadowice, the 58-year-old Archbishop of Krakow's election as pope in 1978 stunned the Catholic world.
The first non-Italian pope in more than 450 years, he went on to become one of the most familiar faces in the world, visiting more than 120 countries in a 27-year pontificate that earned him a reputation as an international fighter for freedom.
He died aged 84 in 2005 after a long illness. He was beatified - the penultimate step towards sainthood - in 2011.
Norwich duo Steven Naismith and Steven Whittaker have both withdrawn from the squad preparing for the trip to Prague.
Naismith has a hamstring injury while Whittaker's wife is due to give birth.
Caddis' call-up brings the number of uncapped players in the two squads to face the Czechs and Denmark - at Hampden Park on 29 March - to eight.
Hibernian midfielder John McGinn, Celtic left-back Kieran Tierney, Aberdeen midfielder Kenny McLean, on-loan Blackburn striker Tony Watt, Nottingham Forest midfielder Oliver Burke, Brighton's Jamie Murphy and Leeds defender Liam Cooper are the other players yet to taste senior international football.
Manager Gordon Strachan will use the games to assess some new faces ahead of the 2018 World Cup qualifiers.
The Danish squad includes Celtic defender Erik Sviatchenko, Leicester keeper Kasper Schmeichel, former Liverpool centre-back Daniel Agger and Tottenham midfielder Christian Eriksen.

Dowsett's time of 55 minutes and 38.523 seconds was 1:16 faster than James Gullen, with Ryan Perry third.
Claire Rose was 33 seconds behind Simmonds, with Dame Sarah Storey third.
Emma Pooley, who will be in Britain's Rio 2016 road race squad ahead of Dani King, was fourth.
King is ranked above Pooley, and said that decision was "unfair" and that she should have been chosen instead.
Simmonds completed the 34.8km course around Stockton-on-Tees in 47 minutes and 33.357 seconds, with three-time winner Pooley just over a minute slower.
"It's more special second time around," the Simmonds said.
"This year, Emma was coming back and Claire was riding full time this year - she is always a big threat."
In the men's under-23 event, 20-year-old Scott Davies won a record third title in a row, with Tao Geoghagen Hart in second and Gabz Cullaigh third.
Britain's cycling squad for this summer's Olympic Games will be officially confirmed on Friday at 14:00 BST.
It was a third win out of four for coach Danny Kerry's side, who were beaten 1-0 by Japan on Wednesday.
They went ahead in Johannesburg through Sarah Haycroft's deflected shot, Shona McCallin made it 2-0 before Ireland levelled with two goals in two minutes.
Alex Danson fired in a rebound in the third quarter as England went through into Tuesday's quarter-final games.
Goalkeeper Maddie Hinch, who made a fine save in the early stages when the match was goalless, said: "We didn't panic and knew the next goal would be crucial and knew we could find it."
England were two goals up by half-time, having taken the lead when Haycroft broke down the right and crossed onto an Irish foot, which deflected the ball into the net.
Then Lily Owsley, making her 100th international appearance, won a penalty corner and McCallin was perfectly placed at the left-hand post to guide home Giselle Ansley's drag flick.
Find out how to get into hockey with our special guide.
After the interval Ireland staged a dramatic recovery as Nicci Daly's reverse shot deflected in off Ansley's stick and Kathryn Mullan's bobbled effort through a crowded circle snuck past Hinch.
Ireland continued to press but on the stroke of the final break, Danson's 102nd international goal proved decisive.
From a penalty corner, Ansley's effort was saved and Danson was the quickest to react as she rattled in the loose ball.
The top four teams from the Johannesburg tournament will go through to the World League Finals in New Zealand in November.
It happened in Aitnamona Crescent at 20:50 GMT on Sunday.
He was taken to hospital for treatment to his injuries which are not thought to be life threatening.
Ch Insp Norman Hanslet said: "To shoot anyone is bad enough but this is blatant child abuse and there should be no place for the shooting of a child in today's society."
"I know that the local community abhor this type of behaviour and I would ask people to support and assist police to bring these people to justice."
Police appealed for anyone with information to contact them.
The band have previously hinted it could be their last, with Chris Martin describing it as "the completion of something".
The upbeat, summery first single, Adventure Of A Lifetime. premiered on BBC Radio 1 and 2 on Friday.
Speaking to breakfast show host Nick Grimshaw, the band dropped hints about a headline appearance at Glastonbury.
"We'd love to do it. That's our spiritual home, as a band," said Martin.
"Maybe we should have called ahead and asked them," he joked.
All of Coldplay's previous albums have reached number one in the UK. Last year's intimate and melancholy Ghost Stories was the fourth best-selling record of 2014 worldwide, shifting 3.7 million copies in total.
The band went straight back into the studio after its release to record the follow-up, which Martin described as "a more colourful, more joyful sort of thing".
"It's the sound of us being free and happy and very grateful to be in our group."
Recorded in Los Angeles, Malibu and London, A Head Full of Dreams will feature guest appearances from Beyonce, Noel Gallagher and Tove Lo.
Martin said the record had been "handed in" three weeks ago, after the band set themselves a deadline of finishing it before the end of the year.
"It gradually moved later and later - but we came in relatively on time," he said.
"We'd still be working on it if somebody said we could be," joked drummer Will Champion.
The band are also planning to tour "early next year", after only playing a handful of low-key shows to promote Ghost Stories.
Speaking to the BBC last year, Martin suggested the new record could be Coldplay's swansong.
"It's our seventh thing, and the way we look at it, it's like the last Harry Potter book or something like that," he told Zane Lowe.
"Not to say that there might not be another thing one day, but this is the completion of something.
"I have to think of it as the final thing we're doing. Otherwise we wouldn't put everything into it."
Culture Minister Ed Vaizey has asked publisher William Sieghart to lead a review of e-lending with a panel of experts.
While some libraries in the UK already lend books electronically, many do not.
There is little agreement about the best way to make ebooks available and also how to remunerate authors and publishers.
"E-lending is currently in its infancy but growing fast. Just as e-readers are transforming the way people access books, e-lending could help transform the way people use libraries," said Mr Vaizey.
"By acting now we we can help influence the growth of e-lending to ensure libraries, authors, publishers and the public all benefit from this potentially valuable new service."
Mr Sieghart and the panel will consider a range of issues including: the benefits of e-lending; the current level of e-lending and future demand; the impact on libraries; and the effect on those who cannot keep up with changes in technology.
One of the panellists is Janene Cox, president of the Society of Chief Librarians.
She said that offering ebooks in libraries would help to generate new audiences.
"We need to ensure that our service reflects the changing way that people want to read and also engage with local services."
But she added, "I don't believe that they [ebooks] will replace printed books or other information sources totally but they will complement and enhance them."
The panel is due to report back in the new year.
Refuse workers in Birmingham have been taking strike action in a dispute with the city council over job losses.
Trade union Unite has announced walkouts will continue until September after talks with the authority failed.
Birmingham City Council said it hoped to reached a resolution "sooner rather than later", as one community group took on cleaning the streets itself.
Why are refuse workers striking in Birmingham?
Naveed Sadiq from Bearded Broz, a group set up and run by volunteers from the Muslim community in Birmingham, was with members collecting waste from the Yardley area on Wednesday.
Mr Sadiq said: "We've been doing charity and community stuff for the last five years, but this year we have stepped up the game because we believe there's more of a need to be involved in the community because we feel we are being let down by our leaders."
The group will team up with Balsall Heath Forum and use its truck, which will be filled and the waste taken to the Tyseley waste collection centre.
"We are going to try our level best to get as much as we can," added Mr Sadiq.
"We are quite upset that it has come to this, but I also feel that we have a responsibility."
Mr Sadiq added that response from the community was "immense" and that residents were "grateful that it's happening".

The dispute centres on restructuring plans that trade union Unite says are threatening the jobs of more than 120 refuse collectors, while the council says plans will modernise the service and save £5m a year.
The council said it was working to tackle the backlog and get collections back on track.
A spokesperson said: "Positive discussions are continuing to take place with the unions and we hope to be able to resolve this sooner rather than later."
In a statement Unite added: "There were talks earlier in the week with the chief executive of Birmingham council where there was a full and frank exchange of views.
"We regret that the people of Birmingham are suffering from the lack of collections but would ask them to step into the shoes of our members who have taken strike action as a last resort and at financial loss to themselves in order to protect their already low wages.
"We urge council bosses to resolve this dispute before it escalates further."
The Seasiders went close in the first half through Jack Redshaw, who forced a fine save from Neil Etheridge.
Walsall took a 66th-minute lead when Anthony Taylor's cross-shot found Jason Demetriou at the far post for a tap-in.
But Uche Ikpeazu's free-kick deflected into the path of Danny Philliskirk, who poked into an empty net to level the scores in injury time.
Third-placed Walsall, who have a rearranged league game at Fleetwood in midweek ahead of next Saturday's FA Cup fourth round tie at Reading, finished the game without three of their key players.
Top scorer Tom Bradshaw, highly-rated teenage left back Rico Henry and Romaine Sawyers, who was feeling his hamstring, were all substituted.

"The players adapted really well to a difficult game. Blackpool were coming off an excellent 5-0 win against Scunthorpe.
"They came full of confidence and you can see from the first half that they were dangerous.
"We evolved as the game went on and controlled the second half. They didn't create a chance apart from the goal."
The Aviva Stadium will host a friendly with Uruguay three days later and the Austria qualifier on 11 June.
The Republic top Group D after four games and are six points clear of the Austrians.
"This is a brilliant match for us ahead of the qualifier against Austria," said Republic boss Martin O'Neill.
He added: "Mexico in the United States couldn't get much tougher but it's exactly what we want.
"The players who may not have played for a while after their club season has ended will, I'm sure, relish the opportunity to play against such quality opposition."
Ireland have played against Mexico four times, drawing three and losing once, with two of those games on US soil including the 1994 World Cup group game in Orlando.
Mexico, currently 17th in the Fifa world rankings, are managed by Juan Carlos Osorio and are also preparing for their own World Cup qualifiers.
They will play in the 2017 Confederations Cup, which kicks off on 17 June in Russia and they are in Group A alongside the hosts, Portugal and New Zealand.

The blast blew out windows and destroyed the rear wall of the house at Theddlethorpe, near Mablethorpe in Lincolnshire, on Sunday afternoon.
Fire service group manager Sean King said the owners had gone for a walk at the time of the explosion, thought to have been caused by a gas leak.
The house, which was on a propane-fed gas supply, has been cordoned off.
Mr King said: "It was a significant explosion caused, we think, by some kind of gas leak but we haven't been able to determine the exact cause yet due to the extensive damage.
"Luckily they'd [owners] gone for a walk and if they'd been in the house at the time it could have been a very different story."

The Canadian star and his Argentine model and actress wife Luisana Lopilato issued an upbeat update on Friday.
"We are so grateful to report that our son Noah has been progressing well during his treatment," they said.
They added that the "doctors are very optimistic about the future for our little boy".
It is the first official statement since Buble and Lopilato broke the news of Noah's diagnosis in November.
"He has been brave throughout and we continue to be inspired by his courage," the couple said in the statement on Facebook.
"We thank God for the strength he has given all of us. Our gratitude to his doctors and caretakers cannot be put into words.
"We'd like to thank the thousands of people that have sent their prayers and good wishes to us. As we continue this journey we are greatly comforted by your support and love."
After the initial diagnosis, the couple said they were "devastated" and that they were giving up work commitments to concentrate on "helping Noah get well".
Buble cancelled appearances including the BBC Music Awards and the Brit Awards, which he was due to host later this month.
Buble and Lopilato have another son, one-year-old Elias.

Holyrood's health committee said measures such as restricting cars in towns and increasing parking charges would be politically unpopular.
But they said the policies could also encourage people to be more active.
Almost two thirds (65%) of adults in Scotland were overweight in 2015, including 29% who were obese.
Meanwhile, 28% of children were at risk of becoming overweight, with 15% at risk of obesity.
Committee members also urged the Scottish government to consider whether regulations could be brought in which would prevent retailers promoting foods that are bad for health.
The committee is currently considering if it could bring forward its own legislative proposals to tackle the problem.
In a letter to Public Health Minister Aileen Campbell, the committee said: "We support a bold approach to the new obesity strategy and would encourage you to include options that may initially be unpopular as this could result in an important step towards balancing out health inequalities in Scotland."
The committee highlighted the "obesogenic environment in Scotland", where unhealthy food is "more available and more heavily promoted than in other countries".
Two fifths of adults do not do enough exercise to meet guidelines, it added, with MSPs also pointing to a food culture of people eating together less, and snacking more.
And it said poverty forces some shoppers to opt for high calorie choices instead of healthier options.
While the MSPs said "good policies" had been brought in to tackle the obesity problem, they added they were "not necessarily translating into healthy outcomes".
They said: "The main reason given for this was an inconsistent approach to resourcing the policies and frameworks. This resulted in successful policies not being scaled up or stopped altogether."
Ms Campbell was pressed on whether the government would restore its funding for the Jogscotland initiative, which the committee said had been "particularly successful in encouraging women to undertake more physical activity".
The committee also suggested money may need to be ring-fenced to fund projects when a new obesity strategy is introduced.
The MSPs said: "We understand interventions cost money but believe preventative spend must be looked at seriously by the Scottish government.
"The initial outlay would seem to be outweighed by the ultimate cost savings to the NHS, employers, and local authorities.
"All the above show there is no easy fix for tackling obesity in Scotland and a comprehensive long term, cross-portfolio approach will be required."
Committee convenor Neil Findlay said it was disappointing that the "good policies" put in place to tackle obesity by the Scottish government "don't seem to be working".
The Labour MSP added: "Scotland has not previously been afraid to take the initiative to tackle health related issues when other interventions have failed. This is why this committee is asking for a bold approach to tackling obesity.
"If we don't act now, we will be condemning future generations to a lifetime of poor health which is often driven by poverty leading to poor dietary choices."
Responding to the committee's letter, Ms Campbell said: "We have consistently called on the UK government to ban junk food advertising before the 9pm watershed.
"And we are looking at what further effective actions we can take within the powers available to us, including the use of multi-buy promotions, as well as examining a range of actions to improve diet, physical activity and education.
"We have announced our intention to set out and consult on the development of our new diet and obesity strategy this year, building on our wide range of activity to make it easier for people - including children and their families - to be more active, eat less, and eat better."
Obesity Action Scotland supported the committee's conclusions on tackling price promotions of unhealthy food.
Programme lead Lorraine Tulloch said: "We know that price promotions lead us to buy more than we intended and consume more than we intended.
"We need to ensure that the healthy choice is the easy choice for everyone."
It was also backed by consumer group Which? Its director of campaigns and communications, Vickie Sherriff, said: "Our research has shown that people in Scotland would like to eat more healthily but it's the less healthy options that are more likely to be included in supermarket promotions.
"Retailers have to be more responsible with the type of products they include in their offers.
"To help tackle the obesity crisis the Scottish government has to do more to ensure food manufacturers and retailers make their promotions more responsible and commit to targets to reduce their sugar, salt and saturated fat levels."
North Yorkshire County Council considered a bid by Third Energy to extract shale gas at a site near Kirby Misperton in Ryedale.
Hundreds of protesters attended a meeting in Northallerton to voice anger at the project, which had been recommended for approval.
The council's planning committee voted seven to four in favour.
As it happened: Fracking decision meeting
A number of objections from people opposed to the plans were heard over the course of two days prior to the decision.
Supporters including landowners, farmers and Third Energy employees also had their say.
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.
Planners had recommended the Kirby Misperton plan was approved, but acknowledged the majority of representations received in consultation were objections.
Vicky Perkin, a council planning officer, told the committee that of 4,420 individual representations, just 36 were in support of the application.
But her report also said it should be noted there was a "national policy support for the development of a shale gas industry in this country and this is an important material consideration".
The result was met with boos and jeers from protesters who had gathered on the lawn outside County Hall during the two-day meeting.
Some campaigners chanted "We say no".
Immediately after the vote, North Yorkshire Police tweeted a warning to protesters.
It read: "Please be aware, the police will take action against unlawful behaviour linked to the #nyshale protest."
Rasik Valand, chief executive of Third Energy, said the approval meant the firm now had "a huge responsibility".
"We will have to deliver on our commitment, made to the committee and to the people of Ryedale, to undertake this operation safely and without impacting on the local environment," he said.
Campaign group Frack Off said: "These plans could pave the way for thousands of fracking wells to spread across Yorkshire and many other parts of the country if not stopped.
"Impacts, including pipelines, air pollution and waste disposal will spread far beyond the areas being drilled.
"Third Energy's plans in Ryedale are the thin end of a very large wedge."
No fracking has taken place in the UK since 2011, when tests on the Fylde coast were found to have been the probable cause of minor earthquakes in the area.
Since then, two high-profile applications to frack in Lancashire were rejected by councillors and are now the subject of appeals.
Third Energy wants to frack for shale gas using an existing two-mile deep well - called KM8 - drilled in 2013 close to the North York Moors National Park. It could start by the end of the year.
Andy Mortimer, the company's subsurface director, told the committee fracking at Kirby Misperton was "highly unlikely to cause any sort of earth tremor", describing the area as "seismically benign"
He said Third Energy would operate a safety system that would halt operations if a seismic event measuring above 0.5 on the Richter Scale occurred, adding that "trains cause seismic signals several orders of magnitude greater than our proposed threshold".
The firm already had licences to produce gas in North Yorkshire and offshore in the North Sea.
Dr Adam Marshall, acting director general of the British Chambers of Commerce, described the decision as a "much-needed victory for pragmatism, in the face of the serious energy security problems Britain faces".
He added: "Fracking has the potential to play a part in solving the UK's energy crunch, and create new energy-related jobs in many areas."
Greenpeace accused the government of having a "pro-fracking bias", which it said made the outcome inevitable.
Daisy Sands, head of the group's energy campaign said: "This isn't over and people will continue to raise their very valid concerns and keep fighting against fracking because it will industrialise the beautiful Yorkshire countryside and contribute to climate change."
The government has said it is going "all out for shale" to boost energy security and the economy.
The new government is starting to prepare the ground for the real battles that lie ahead.
It is what lies behind the visit by Theresa May to Europe's two most powerful countries, France and Germany.
Over dinner with Angela Merkel in Berlin on Wednesday, there will be no negotiations about Brexit.
The German chancellor has ruled that out until the UK formally triggers the withdrawal process.
And, in any event, the UK does not yet know what it wants or what model it favours.
These meetings are about setting the tone, establishing personal relations for the difficult times that will surely come.
Theresa May will want to appear confident that she can manage the challenge of making Brexit a success.
In its first week in office, the government has been on a mission to reassure the international community that Britain remains open for business.
You can sense the nervousness, however.
Every piece of news that can be branded as "good" is seized on:
All the public statements are geared towards reassuring allies that Britain will remain outward-looking and a global player.
The prime minister will meet a German chancellor who will have a huge influence on the outcome of Britain's future.
Angela Merkel's instincts are to be cautious.
While some in Germany are impatient for Britain to start its negotiations quickly and for the EU to move on without Britain, Angela Merkel will be unemotional.
Where possible and without compromising the EU's basic values, she will seek a deal that is least disruptive to the EU.
She will be clear that the EU and Germany have interests:
She will also know that sitting beside her at dinner is a new leader grappling with two seemingly incompatible goals:
The meeting with the French president will be more problematic.
Francois Hollande wants the UK to pay a price for leaving the EU.
His instinct is partly driven by the need to undermine support for Marine Le Pen, who wants to hold a similar referendum in France.
The French have also been openly lobbying UK banks and financial companies to relocate inside the eurozone and in particular to Paris.
It has been a long-standing French interest to weaken the City of London.
Even so, he will want the increasingly close defence relationship with the UK to continue.
It may prove helpful that the UK referendum vote appears to be deterring voters elsewhere in Europe from following the same path.
Support for the EU in some other countries has actually surged.
In Denmark, the percentage of voters demanding a referendum has dropped from 40.7% to 32%.
Italy had been turning increasingly eurosceptic, but now two-thirds of voters want to remain in the EU.
Support for a right-wing eurosceptic party in Germany has also fallen.
This pattern, if it continues, might just embolden Europe's leaders to feel less under siege and more open to conducting a constructive relationship with the UK.
And the view in Paris is that the British economy will pay the price for Brexit.
Almost certainly, after this round of talks there will be a pause.
Britain has voted to leave the EU, but there is no agreed plan for what deal it will seek.
There won't be for months.
That is why it is unlikely that Article 50 will be triggered before 2017.
It is not clear whether the government will make a priority of staying in the single market.
Could it accept operating under rules it had no say in?
Will the City and financial services retain their EU "passport", allowing them to operate throughout the EU?
What will uncertainty do to investment decisions?
Will consumers continue spending?
How severe will be the slowing of the British economy?
Can withdrawal and a new trade agreement be negotiated in the two-year window allowed for under Article 50?
Who will negotiate all these trade deals when Britain hasn't negotiated such a deal in 40 years?
The future is littered with complex questions.
The new British government understands that the years ahead will be much easier if the divorce is amicable.
And that is why these early meetings in Berlin and Paris are important.
It is also the case that EU has its own problems.
There is an Italian banking crisis that, if not resolved, carries great risks for the eurozone.
There are elections next year in France and Germany.
The EU has to demonstrate it can ratify an EU-Canada trade deal that has been more than seven years in the making.
The free trade deal between the EU and the USA is in difficulty.
It will encourage some in the UK to believe that, despite all the sound and fury, there is a mutual interest in reaching an accommodation.
Liam Laverick, 25, was jailed in November for eight-and-a-half years for the manslaughter of Tommy Lee.
Tommy, from Hull, died in hospital on 25 September 2014 after he suffered bleeding around his brain from being violently shaken by his father.
A serious case review found the baby's death could not have been anticipated.
The Hull Safeguarding Children Board (HSCB) findings showed Laverick had slapped Tommy's mother, Kelly Whitworth, "a few times" after she became pregnant and had taken her phone and money.
It revealed that she was living in fear of his "angry outbursts and threats".
Ms Whitworth told the review she felt "unable to tell social workers what was happening, as she really believed [Laverick] would harm her or their child".
Laverick ordered Ms Whitworth to lie to social services about the couple not living together and had threatened Ms Whitworth he would tell social workers she was a bad mother and they would remove her children.
HSCB said Laverick was previously reported to police and social services "following several domestic abuse incidents" while he was in a relationship with a previous partner.
Numerous different social workers had seen the family and months before Tommy's birth care workers closed the case "as there had been no domestic abuse incidents", the report stated.
The report concluded: "There was insufficient collaboration between agencies, and between children and adults' services, and the expertise of practitioners in specialist services was not used effectively to inform assessments, judgments, and plans.
"Without opportunities to share information across agencies, a holistic picture of the family needs and vulnerabilities did not emerge."
In a statement, the HSCB said the review "highlighted the need for all agencies to improve early help, the gathering and sharing of information and pre-birth assessment and planning".
At Blackfriars Crown Court, James Whitlock, 31, pleaded guilty to escaping from HMP Pentonville on 7 November.
He removed the bars on his cell window and scaled the Victorian prison's perimeter wall.
The breakout is said to have gone undetected for several hours as pillows were used to stuff the beds making it look like he was asleep.
He was arrested six days later at an address in Homerton, east London.
Rope used during the escape was recovered, but whatever was used to cut the cell bars has not been.
Whitlock is due to be sentenced at a later date.
Matthew Baker, 28, has yet to enter a plea on a charge of escaping from the same prison. He is next due in court on 5 January.
His sister Kelly Baker, 21, of Friars Close, Ilford, east London, admitted one count of assisting an offender by buying him hair dye.
Phil Flanagan sued the firm AIG after it refused to cover him when he sent a tweet falsely implying Ulster Unionist MP Tom Elliott had shot people.
But a judge ruled that AIG was entitled to withhold cover because Mr Flanagan knew the remark was defamatory.
He also ordered Mr Flanagan to pay the legal costs of his failed action.
Mr Flanagan was told in February that he must pay £48,750 compensation to Mr Elliott for making the unfounded allegation about the former Ulster Unionist leader's conduct during his previous career as an Ulster Defence Regiment (UDR) soldier.
The court heard that Mr Flanagan had tweeted about Mr Elliott when the unionist politician was being interviewed by Stephen Nolan about the Troubles.
The High Court heard that Mr Flanagan tweeted: "I wonder if he [Mr Elliott] will reveal how many people he harassed or shot as a member of the UDR."
The contents of his tweet were held to be baseless and grossly defamatory.
As a result of legal action, Mr Flanagan, who failed to gain re-election to the Northern Ireland Assembly last month, issued an apology on Twitter and agreed to pay compensation and costs.
He accepted his tweet was "untrue, wholly without foundation" and apologised "for all offence caused".
A High Court judge put the payout on hold until Mr Flanagan resolved his case against AIG, the insurers used by Northern Ireland Assembly members.
The court heard that the policy provided for libel and slander claims excludes cases where MLAs know their comments are defamatory.
He said it was never his intention to defame Mr Elliott, and he only realised the seriousness of the situation after taking legal advice.
Lawyers for AIG said on Wednesday that Mr Flanagan was ineligible for cover because the policy did not cover libel cases between MLAs, and that the tweet had nothing to do with constituency or parliamentary business.
The judge rejected those submissions, but he backed a contention that AIG could refuse to cover Mr Flanagan because he knew his posting was defamatory.
He also upheld a claim by AIG that Mr Flanagan took no precautions before publishing the tweet and said Mr Flanagan knew there was no evidence he could use as a defence to any libel proceedings against him.
The 21-year-old scored 11 goals while on loan at the Blues as they finished runners up in the Women's Super League.
The England Under-23 international is the sister of Natasha Jonas - Britain's first female Olympic boxer.
"I'm really happy to have signed permanently. I'm so glad because here at City I feel I've got a place I can call home," she told the club website.

A number of people were reported to be using weapons in an attack on the Andersonstown Road at about 18:15 GMT.
Three men were injured and are in a stable condition in hospital.
One eyewitness said hurling sticks and hammers were being used as weapons.
The arrested men are also suspected of possession of an offensive weapon.
The eyewitness said: "They were just beating each other and they had each other down on the ground.
"All you could see was the blood everywhere. It was terrifying to see."
The 21-year-old arrives in time to play in the League Two match against Stevenage on 7 January.
Manager Graham Westley said the club need to improve in defence.
"Nineteen goals conceded in seven league games tells you that we lack defensive stability. There's no disrespect to any player in that statement," he said.
"I've seen a lot of him [Nelson] in both under-21 and League One football, where he helped his club into the play-offs last year and I'm sure that the Newport fans will love the heart and quality that he will put into defending our goal."
Nelson joins with Newport four points adrift at the bottom on the table.

Incidents of people getting in fights, being verbally abusive or refusing to follow cabin crew orders were up by 17%, according to the International Air Transport Association (IATA).
Alcohol or drug use was identified as a factor in one in four incidents.
In 11% of cases, there was physical aggression or even damage to the aircraft.
Some 10,854 incidents of passengers disrupting flights were reported to IATA last year, up from 9,316 incidents in 2014. That's one incident for every 1,205 flights.
The majority of cases were "verbal abuse, failure to follow lawful crew instructions and other forms of anti-social behaviour," IATA said in a statement.
In the cases of alcohol and drug intoxication, in "the vast majority of instances these were consumed prior to boarding or from personal supply".
"The increase in reported incidents tells us that more effective deterrents are needed," said Alexandre de Juniac, IATA's Director General.
Consumer advocates see airlines packing more customers on each plane to increase profits as part of the problem.
IATA assistant director, Tom Colehan, said frustrations with the journey, including long security lines could be triggers.
"I don't think anybody knows exactly the reason driving the rise," he said. "Perhaps it's just reflective of societal changes where anti-social behaviour is more prevalent and perhaps more accepted."
Of the 265 airlines represented by IATA, 40% have diverted a flight in the past 12 months due to an unruly passenger.
Members of the airline group have called on governments to adopt the Montreal Protocol 2014, which would allow airlines to seek compensation from rowdy passengers.
Currently, people who disrupt a flight can only be prosecuted in the country where the airline is registered - not where it lands.
International airlines have been grappling with the problem of unruly passengers for years.
Earlier this month, British Airways had to divert a flight scheduled to Florida because of a disruptive passenger.
The flight landed in Boston to remove the man accused of "interfering with a flight crew".
Britain's Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has also seen the number or air rage cases soaring - there were 386 dangerous incidents in 2015, compared with just 85 in 2013.
Examples of incidents quoted by the CAA include disruptive passengers fighting each other and one passenger who had to be restrained during the flight after "progressively disruptive behaviour" before attempting to open the plane door.
In 2015, a Southwest flight in the US had to return to its departure airport for an emergency landing when two passengers got into a fight over reclining a seat.
In the first five months of last year, Chinese aviation authorities saw 12 incidents in which passengers had tried to open emergency exit doors while their aircraft was on the tarmac.
The reasons included wanting fresh air or to smoke a cigarette, the South China Morning Post reported.
Industry officials put the price tag of diverting a long-haul flight because of a passenger disruption at around $200,000.
"Of course it is a small minority of passengers that commit these unruly incidents but it has a disproportionate impact," explained Tom Colehan.
The 78-year-old was crossing Mauchline Road in the village at about 09:25 on Friday when the car hit her.
She is being treated in Ayr Hospital. The 84-year-old driver of the car, a grey VW Golf, was uninjured.
Police have asked anyone who saw the collision to contact them at Irvine police office.
Walter Masocha, archbishop of the Stirling-based Agape for All Nations Church, was sentenced to 250 hours of unpaid work and placed on the sex offenders register for a year.
The 51-year-old was convicted of groping a schoolgirl and a deaconess.
A sheriff told him he had "suffered a spectacular fall from grace".
Masocha was found guilty after a trial at Falkirk Sheriff Court of putting his hand down the trousers of a schoolgirl, telling her he was trying to remove demons, and groping a deaconess while he was meant to be praying for her stomach complaint.
Both women were targeted at Masocha's seven-bedroom mansion, Coseyneuk House, near Stirling, where the Zimbabwe-born churchman regularly received followers.
Sheriff Kenneth McGowan told Masocha that his conduct had left his victims "hurt and bewildered".
He said: "You held a position of trust which you abused, and a further aggravating factor in relation to one of the victims is her relatively young age.
"Dealing with the question of harm, the complainers must have been left hurt and bewildered by your conduct, at the time it happened and thereafter."
However, Sheriff McGowan told Masocha that the law only required courts to impose prison sentences when there were no other options available.
He said: "There are many cases where the gravity of the offences are such that a custodial sentence is inevitable. Without in any way seeking to downplay the severity of the offences in this case, my view is that this is not the position here.
"The criminal justice social work report has assessed you as suitable for a community-based disposal, and in addition you have already suffered a spectacular fall from grace."
The Higher pass rate dipped very slightly by 0.2% but the total number of passes remained above 150,000 for a third successive year.
Almost 137,000 students received results of Nationals and Highers on Tuesday.
University admissions body Ucas said more than 28,700 pupils gained places, 400 more than last year.
It said the figure included a 13% increase in placed applicants from Scotland's most deprived communities.

This year's results in National 4 and 5, Highers and Advanced Highers were broadly in line with 2016.
Candidates passed 150,010 Highers although the pass rate (A-C) was marginally down at 77% compared with 77.2% last year.
Advanced Higher passes fell to 19,283, with a pass rate of 80%.
The pass rate for National 4 was 92.8% and 79.5% for the National 5, also very close to last year's figures.
There was, however, a significant drop in the number of pupils taking the internally-assessed National 4 qualification - 116,032, down from 122,961.
Exam passes are high by historic standards, more youngsters are staying on at school and going to college or university.
Is this a good thing in itself? Or is the education system simply having to adapt to the fact that in the modern world there are fewer good jobs for young people, and that unskilled jobs are disappearing?

Pass marks can vary each year depending on the difficulty of the exam, but there was no repeat of the situation two years ago when it had to be set at 35% in Higher maths because the paper was harder than expected.
Dr Janet Brown, chief executive of the Scottish Qualifications Authority, said the figures demonstrated stability in the system.
"One of the things that we absolutely have to ensure is that standards are maintained and we can see that candidates are reaching those standards and attaining as they have done in the past," she said.
In maths, the attainment rate rose to 74% from 73.5% last year at Higher, while in English the attainment rate dropped from 78.8% in 2016 to 77.3% this year.
There was an increase in the number of pupils taking and passing qualifications in skills for work and personal development courses.
Education Secretary John Swinney congratulated pupils during a visit to Bannerman High School in Baillieston, Glasgow
He said: "The whole country should rightly be proud of the excellence and achievement in Scottish education demonstrated by these results.
"We expect to see small variations in pass rates year on year, which demonstrate the high standards, strength and integrity of our national qualifications."
Opposition parties offered their congratulations to students and teachers but said results were achieved "in spite" of education changes.
Scottish Conservative education spokeswoman Liz Smith said: "In some key core subjects - including history and some modern languages - there is a marked drop in the number of entries. And in many subjects, we also see attainment falling, particularly at Advanced Higher level.
"The fundamental problems remain the same. We have too few teachers in classrooms. And, as the Sutton Trust recently declared, we have a school system that doesn't give enough children the opportunity to really excel and push on."
Labour's Iain Gray said: "The reality is that these results have been achieved by pupils and teachers in spite of SNP government cuts to education budgets, teacher numbers and support staff."
Ucas said almost all the Scottish applicants to win university places had chosen to study in Scotland.
The Scottish Funding Council's interim chief executive John Kemp said: "This reflects the strength of the university sector in Scotland.
"I am especially pleased today to see the 13% increase in students from the most deprived areas of Scotland going to a Scottish university. Although there is more work to be done, today's figures indicate that we are taking significant steps in the right direction."
A free helpline is available on 0808 100 8000 for anyone seeking practical advice regarding their exam results.
Operated by Skills Development Scotland, it will be open from 08:00 until 20:00 on Tuesday and Wednesday and between 09:00 and 17:00 until 16 August.
The group's acting director of operations James Russell said: "Our message for those young people and their parents and carers as the results arrive is not to panic.
"Everything might seem overwhelming at that point. Our experienced advisers are there to help and have information on all the options and opportunities young people can consider."
The man was left with several cuts to his face after the assault in Ye Olde Inn at Davidson's Mains in Edinburgh.
The attack took place at about 21:00 on Saturday, 22 August.
Officers said anyone who recognised the woman from the images should contact them immediately.
Det Sgt Andrina Cunningham said: "The victim sustained some painful injuries to his face, which are likely to leave permanent scarring and our inquiries into this attack are ongoing.
"We are keen to trace the woman pictured in the CCTV footage as part of this investigation and anyone who recognises her is asked to contact police immediately.
"In addition, anyone with any further information relevant to this incident should also get in touch."
It will house two of Flint's GP practices, as well as dental services and occupational therapists.
The centre will replace services previously provided by sites including Borough Grove Clinic and Flint Hospital, which campaigners fought to save.
Health Minister Mark Drakeford said it would bring "health and social services together under one roof".
The centre is one of three being developed in north Wales, along with Llangollen, Denbighshire, and Blaenau Ffestiniog, Gwynedd.
A purposeful opening from the visitors had Carlisle on the back foot, with Lewis Hawkins and Nathan Thomas fizzing shots narrowly off target.
However, it was Carlisle who struck first in the 20th minute when a quick break down the left and a pinpoint cross from Shaun Miller provided Jabo Ibehre with a simple side-foot finish from six yards.
The home side spurned a great chance to make it two before the break when Miller seized on a loose ball just inside the area only to lash his shot over the crossbar.
Carlisle missed a double opportunity four minutes into the second half when goalkeeper Trevor Carson just managed to get a hand to Jason Kennedy's close-range effort and Ibehre ballooned the loose ball high over from four yards when it looked easier to score.
Miller, having been booked in the first half for kicking the ball away, was shown a second yellow and sent off in the 57th minute for deliberate handball, before Lewis Alessandra cut in from the left to power an unstoppable shot past Mark Gillespie for the equaliser.
Danny Grainger restored Carlisle's lead three minutes later, belting a low 25-yard shot into the bottom corner after receiving a short free-kick from Nicky Adams.
Pools made it 2-2 in the 75th minute when Padraig Amond, at close range, was able to apply the finish after Gillespie had saved Billy Paynter's original drive, then Carlisle went straight back in front five minutes later when Michael Raynes scored with a towering header from Grainger's corner.

James Molyneaux died last year.
On the anniversary of his death, Christopher Luke, who is openly gay, told BBC Radio Ulster that the men had a very loving relationship.
Lord Molyneaux was an MP for almost 30 years and the leader of unionism for a decade and a half.
He was one of the most important politicians in Northern Ireland's recent history. He died aged 94 and the first anniversary of his death was this week.
Christopher Luke said he was Lord Molyneaux's close companion.
In a newspaper tribute, he wrote: "You were very dear to me..... Your love for me was wonderful - more wonderful than the love of women."
The Irish News reproduced the memorial notice and published photographs on Friday.
Mr Luke also spoke to BBC Radio Ulster's Talkback programme. He said he felt the politician's legacy had been forgotten by unionism and loyalism.
"So many people these days seem to be airbrushing Jim from history, no doubt because he stood for the remainder of this life after the Good Friday Agreement was signed as steadfastly against it," he said.
A year on, Mr Luke said he still found the loss of James Molyneaux very difficult.
"I had a very loving relationship with Jim. I loved him as a brother. He will always have a place in my heart. There was love between us, but there are different forms of love."
Lord Molyneaux was the Ulster Unionist leader during some of Northern Ireland's most difficult years.

The effectiveness of the HIA has been questioned by a number of medical figures in recent months.
Ex-World Rugby medical advisor Dr Barry O'Driscoll has said the system is "not fit for purpose".
But Dr Simon Kemp told the BBC the HIA process is protecting players.
"The numbers of players remaining on the field of play who have subsequently been diagnosed with concussion has dropped dramatically because of the HIA process," the RFU's Kemp told 5 live.
"At the recent Berlin Consensus Conference, all the elements of our Head Injury Assessment process were felt to be best-practice.
"Can we do better? Yes. We have brought in real-time video this season which will move things forward, and we are also testing an eye-screening test to see if there are other elements we can add to the Head Injury Assessment, to make it better than it is."
Media playback is not supported on this device
As well as O'Driscoll, former Ireland team doctor Cliff Beirne has also raised concerns, saying the current HIA protocols are "concerning" and should be left to independent medical professionals.
Any player who has suffered a suspected concussion must undergo the HIA, a series of cognitive, balance and memory tests, to ascertain whether they are fit to continue.
But under World Rugby guidelines a player who has suffered loss of consciousness or suspected loss of consciousness must be permanently removed from the field of play.
This season Northampton were found to have breached concussion protocols by allowing George North to return to the field after suffering a suspected loss of consciousness, while Sale and Munster are currently under investigation for their management of TJ Ioane and Conor Murray respectively.
"Last season we didn't have any episodes that went to independent review, this season we have had two," Kemp added.
"But we still have 98.5% of all head injury assessments being conducted according to protocol, which is encouraging."
The English professional game released on Wednesday the annual injury audit, which showed concussion accounted for 25% of all match injuries in the 2015-2016 season, a rise from 17% the year before.
"I think it is an inevitable consequence of our education programme, the development of the Head Injury Assessment process and the independent real-time video review from last season," Kemp explained.
"I think what we are seeing is reported concussion moving up to a level they probably always were."
Meanwhile Premiership Rugby has told the BBC it is open to the concept of using independent doctors to assess players who have suffered a head injury.
It is understood European Cup organisers EPCR is looking to introduce independent medical figures for the quarter-final stages of this year's tournaments.
Such a move would eliminate any suggestions of a "conflict of interest" when it comes to treating players.
"Anything that advances player welfare we will look at," Premiership Rugby's head of rugby operations Corin Palmer told BBC 5 live.
"When it comes to welfare, everything will be looked at, and costs and logistics and delivery will all be factored in."
At the start of January, World Rugby formally introduced new tackle guidelines in a bid to improve player safety, imposing harsher sanctions for making contact with the head.
Dr Kemp expects the changes to help limit danger to the ball carrier, but feels further measures are needed to protect the tackler.
The injury audit found 45% of all match injuries were sustained in the tackle, with concussion comprising 20% of all injuries to the ball carrier, but 47% of all injuries to the tackler.
"We would absolutely welcome them [the new tackle guidelines] in terms of managing the risk to the ball carrier," Kemp said.
"I think there is more thought and more initiatives that will need to come to consider the risks to the tackler, which is unlikely to be solely a law application issue.
"Thinking about tackle technique and ensuring tackle technique is performance-optimised while reducing the risk of head contact to the tackler, is something the game needs to work more on.
"We look forward to working with coaches, referees and World Rugby on thinking about initiatives to reduce the risk of head injuries to the tackler."
Listen to 5 live Rugby on Thursday evening from 8pm as we consider how high tackles could influence the Six Nations championship. You'll hear from England head coach Eddie Jones, top referee Wayne Barnes and a host of others as we ask if rugby union will ever be the same again?

Kaysha, whose real name is Edward Mokolo Jr, is currently based in Portugal but he often visits his native Kinshasa. That's where DJ Edu, the presenter of BBC Radio 1Xtra's Destination Africa programme, met him recently.
DJ Edu started by asking him why, coming from a country where many musicians are still heavily influenced by traditional rumba sounds, he is better known as a singer of Caribbean zouk, and kizomba, a genre which mixes semba sounds from Angola with zouk and kompa music from Haiti.
The three women and two men were stranded in a cove between Tolcarne and Lusty Glaze, Newquay on Saturday.
Sea conditions meant they could not be rescued by lifeboat and were winched to safety from rocks by a rescue helicopter from RNAS Culdrose.
The group was not injured but rescue teams have urged beach users to check the tide times.
A spokesman from Falmouth Coastguard said there was some confusion when they received the initial call as the tourists did not know exactly where they were.
Two lifeboats were launched at about 16:10 BST and a member of the RNLI "comforted" the group who were "cut off by an incoming spring tide with no way out", said Gareth Horner, from Newquay RNLI.
The group was later winched from rocks to safety and returned to their holiday accommodation.
Mr Horner urged people to check the tide times and only swim at beaches with lifeguards in attendance.
Footage has emerged from an event last week at which Mr Johnson said UK ally Saudi Arabia was engaging in "proxy wars" in the Middle East.
The PM's spokeswoman said these were the foreign secretary's personal views.
But former minister Crispin Blunt said No 10 had been "a little too sensitive in responding to his remarks".
Laura Kuenssberg: Is Boris in bother?
The chairman of the foreign affairs select committee told the BBC: "We have an intellectually brilliant foreign secretary who is thinking about the issues and engaging fully. Boris is making the personal transition to foreign secretary from commentator and the watching media jump on every mis-speak."
He added: "He and the prime minister have complementary skills sets and the UK needs both."
Mr Johnson's comments were made at a conference in Rome last week but only emerged after the The Guardian newspaper published footage of the event.
In it the foreign secretary said: "There are politicians who are twisting and abusing religion and different strains of the same religion in order to further their own political objectives.
"That's one of the biggest political problems in the whole region. And the tragedy for me - and that's why you have these proxy wars being fought the whole time in that area - is that there is not strong enough leadership in the countries themselves."
Mr Johnson told the Med 2 conference: "There are not enough big characters, big people, men or women, who are willing to reach out beyond their Sunni or Shia or whatever group to the other side and bring people together and to develop a national story again.
"That is what's lacking. And that's the tragedy," he said, adding that "visionary leadership" was needed in the region.
He went on: "That's why you've got the Saudis, Iran, everybody, moving in and puppeteering and playing proxy wars."
By BBC diplomatic correspondent James Landale
The prime minister has just come back from the Gulf where she has been promoting Britain's engagement with a part of the world whose trade will be hugely important after Brexit.
She has dined with the Saudi king, praised the kingdom for its reforms and given thanks for the vital intelligence the Saudi security services have provided Britain over the years.
And then Theresa May returned to hear her foreign secretary had dismissed the Saudis as "puppeteers" playing at "proxy wars".
It is little wonder that her official spokeswoman came down on Mr Johnson like a tonne of black-edged Downing Street bricks, saying that the foreign secretary was not expressing the government's position and he will have the opportunity to set out the correct government position when he visits Saudi Arabia at the weekend.

BBC diplomatic correspondent James Landale described Downing Street's response as a "pretty robust slapdown" and while Mr Johnson's comments were "clearly awkward" for the government.
He said many people would agree with the analysis that many of the Middle East conflicts were proxy wars fought between Sunni and Shia factions, often in the form of Iran and Saudi Arabia being on opposing sides, such as in Syria and Yemen - but it was not the official government position.
Downing Street's comment came as Prime Minister Theresa May returned from a visit to the Gulf where she had dinner with the leaders of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman.
Her spokeswoman said that Mrs May wanted to strengthen the relationship with Saudi Arabia, saying, "we are supporting the Saudi-led coalition in support of the legitimate government in Yemen against Houthi rebels".
She said: "Those are the prime minister's views - the foreign secretary's views are not the government's position on, for example, Saudi Arabia and its role in the region."
Shadow foreign secretary Emily Thornberry accused the government of "shabby hypocrisy".
"The government cannot complain about Saudi Arabia's military actions one minute, then continue selling it the arms to prosecute those actions the next," she said.
Tom Brake, the Lib Dems' foreign affairs spokesman, said: "This will be a huge embarrassment to May as she returns from her grubby tour of the Gulf, where she did her best to ignore human rights and desperately push trade at all costs."
Her appointment with America's second most senior diplomat will take place in Washington.
Former first minister Alex Salmond met Hilary Clinton when she was secretary of state in 2009.
Ms Sturgeon is also due to address an audience at the World Bank with a speech about economic equality.
The US trip has consisted of visits to schools and an appearance on one of American television's top chat shows, The Daily Show, hosted by Jon Stewart.
Ms Sturgeon followed in the footsteps of Tony Blair and Gordon Brown by making an appearance on the late-night programme, although the former Labour leaders were interviewed after they left office.
On the first day of her visit, the first minister went to the Daniel Hale Williams elementary school in Brooklyn in the hope of learning lessons from the New York education system on improving attainment in Scottish schools.
Ms Sturgeon also hosted a reception in the United States to thank supporters of the fire-damaged Glasgow School of Art (GSA).
The event in New York's Lincoln Centre Plaza was attended by 200 guests, including GSA alumni and expatriates.
They were told of plans to restore the Grade A-listed art nouveau Mackintosh building that was badly damaged in the blaze on 23 May 2014.
Emergency services were called to the Albert Bar, in Clark Street, Airdrie, at 00:50 on Monday. No-one was injured.
Police said that the pub's CCTV filmed a man breaking a window and pouring a liquid inside which he set alight.
They have asked for help in tracing the "reckless" individual, described as white, in his late 20s to early 30s, with a full beard and muscular build.
At the time of the fire attack he was wearing a white T-shirt which he had covered with a black bin liner.
Det Con Joe Peebles, of Police Scotland, said: "When this man started the fire the flames blew back on him and it's possible he could have been burned.
"If you know anyone fitting the description that may have scalding on his body, then please contact police.
"It was a totally reckless act and the man responsible has absolutely no regard for anyone's safety or the effect the damage will have on the owner's business."
Det Con Peebles said the damage caused by the fire ran to thousands of pounds and flats next to the pub had to be evacuated.
He added: "No one was injured but it could have been much worse, indeed, if it hadn't been for the actions of a passing taxi driver who put out the flames with his fire extinguisher, there is no doubt the pub would have burned to the ground and there would have been significant damage to the flats above."
The work is the second in a series of Tynwald Day portraits by Russian artist Svetlana Cameron.
Mrs Cameron said she was inspired after attending the annual ceremony last year.
Her latest work shows the Rt Rev Robert Paterson in the parish church of Saint John the Baptist in his convocational robes and holding the diocesan crozier.
The Bishop described the painting as "brilliant and quite remarkable in its attention both to the spirit and the detail".
He added: "The thought that succeeding generations may look at this painting fills me with a sense of respect that a photograph could never achieve."
Mrs Cameron, who works out of her Braddan studio, said: "I came to live in the Island nine years ago and, long before I went to St John's on Tynwald Day, watched the ceremony live on television.
"Immediately I became interested in the pageantry and the central characters, among them the Bishop, who kindly agreed to sit for the portrait.
"I chose to place him in the church because, on Tynwald Day, everything starts there with the service, such an important part of the ceremony."
The Bishop sat on five occasions for the painting which is being displayed for the first time at St German's Cathedral.
A state board is weighing disciplinary action against Dr Allen Palmer over the procedure he carried out in 2014 at the women's group Planned Parenthood.
State law requires that foetal tissue from abortions on patients younger than 14 be preserved.
Dr Palmer said he relied on staff to tell him the age of patients.
Under state law in Kansas, abortions can be provided to children with parental consent.
The part-time Planned Parenthood contractor told medical regulators on Thursday he typically did not perform abortions on patients so young.
The Missouri resident has been licensed to practise osteopathic medicine and surgery in Kansas since 2008, according to a petition against him by the Kansas State Board of Healing Arts.
He was filling in for a doctor on holiday when he performed an in-clinic abortion on the 13-year-old girl.
She had been impregnated by her 19-year-old boyfriend. The foetus was nearly 11 weeks old.
The organisation self-reported the violation to the state.
"I'm as shocked and awed by this failure as anybody here, but they want to hang it on me, and maybe that's the way it is," Dr Palmer told the state board, which deferred its ruling after the hearing.
"I'm telling you that I did not know and I would not have proceeded if I had known."
The petition against Dr Palmer was filed by the board's deputy litigation counsel, Susan Gering, and alleged that he failed to preserve the tissue and submit it to the Kansas Bureau of Investigation.
It called for revoking, suspending and censuring Dr Palmer's licence, or placing him on probation for the incident.
When asked by a board member whether he thought to ask the patient's age, Dr Palmer said: "I really don't ask them, because teenagers today, the way they dress, I can't tell how old anybody is."
He added that patients typically go through counselling and screening before meeting him.
"I'm the last person in line for them. If there's a problem, the staff raised it to me or they notified me somehow," he added.
His lawyer argues Dr Palmer had not received proper training on Planned Parenthood policies and procedures regarding operations on minors.
Meanwhile, the women's group has argued that Dr Palmer "found it unnecessary to familiarise himself in detail with [state] laws requiring the preservation of foetal tissue extracted during an abortion procedure" on a minor.
There is a choice of 69 packaged current accounts available in the UK, and many of the High Street banks offer a range of accounts from entry level through to premium accounts.
The monthly fees charged for them vary from £6.50 up to as much as £40, although the typical account charges about £15 per month.
In exchange for this monthly fee they offer various benefits. The typical high-value incentives are travel insurance, motor breakdown assistance and mobile phone insurance.
They also offer a number of other incentives, such as card protection, discounts on other banking products, identity theft assistance, and, at the premium end, airport lounge access and a concierge service.
The Financial Services Authority (FSA) is currently in a consultation period looking at the insurance-based incentives offered by packaged current accounts.
Its proposals are aimed at ensuring customers are aware of whether the insurance offered is suitable for their circumstances.
These proposals, if implemented, should see that the insurance-related elements offered by packaged current accounts are more closely aligned to the actual needs of each customer.
There will also be an annual statement setting out the benefits, with a recommendation that the customer reviews their suitability. This is a really salient issue and highlights the fact that differing circumstances dictate different needs.
But is it worth having a packaged account or should you just use a free in-credit current account?
It has long been the case that the informed consumer should look at the incentives on offer and decide whether they need the incentive.
If so, is it suitable for them, do they already have a similar product in place or could they buy it more cheaply - independently - elsewhere?
To give you a flavour of the sort of things to consider, have a look at travel insurance where there is a wide variation in the cover details on offer. Some just cover European travel whereas others provide worldwide cover.
Some just provide cover for the individual, whereas others may cover a couple and some cover the family. Family cover may, or may not, include step-children. Upper age restrictions may also apply. Some cover winter sports.
You need to consider each of those issues in relation to your own circumstances and decide whether the policy offered is suitable. So, for example, if you are a keen skier and the policy does not cover winter sports then you should look elsewhere.
Similarly, if you have a really expensive mobile phone then look at the coverage limit offered by the mobile phone insurance to find out whether it offers sufficient cover for your mobile. If you open the packaged current account, do not forget to register your mobile.
The motor breakdown policy might cover a single car, household cars or the account holder in any car. It might cover roadside assistance only or it might also cover one or more of the following: home start, towing, recovery and maybe even coverage in mainland Europe.
The insurance elements take some thinking about but it is worth stressing that some of the travel insurance can offer a valuable solution to the elderly who can struggle to find suitable cover elsewhere.
Another incentive offered by some accounts is discounts on entertainment tickets and these can prove very cost-effective to those who regularly attend gigs or concerts but, if you do not do so, such an incentive is largely irrelevant.
Most of the packaged accounts offer "commission-free" foreign currency and travellers' cheques but the value of such offers can be of questionable value because they do not address the differing buying and selling spreads on foreign currency that you will encounter if you do your homework and shop around for the best deal.
The discounted - or special - deals available on some of your bank's other products may or may not be worthwhile.
You are not tied to using the one provider for everything so it is always worth looking around to see if you can get a better deal elsewhere. Typically the preferential deals are mortgages, savings accounts, unsecured loans, credit cards and sometimes for things like home or car insurance.
So when you are offered a packaged current account, do not just sign up without really considering what it will offer you and whether the incentives are actually worthwhile for your specific circumstances.
There is a wide variation in what is on offer and the quality of the incentives can vary considerably.
Think carefully about what you actually need, whether what is on offer actually meets that need, and also do make sure that you do not already have that cover. For example, if you have recently bought a new car, it may have come with a motor breakdown policy.
Packaged current accounts can be good value but you need to check whether the incentives offered are both useful and appropriate for your needs.

That's right - the Mannequin Challenge has taken over, and even Hacker is getting in on the act.
Watch the video to see what happened when our CBBC presenters got frozen in time, but we'll give you one guess who had to go and ruin it...
Born in London to Kosovar-Albanian parents, she was raised on Bowie and Dylan - but the first album she bought was by Canadian pop magpie Nelly Furtado.
"I remember knowing every single one of the lyrics on that album before I hit year one at school," she recalls. "I was obsessed."
As a child, Lipa attended the prestigious Sylvia Young Theatre School until, aged 13, her father's job took the family back to Kosovo.
She lasted two years before persuading her parents to let her leave home to pursue a singing career in London. Living with friends, she worked in restaurants and clubs to make ends meet - the darker side of London's nightlife inspiring her early lyrics.
Her first original songs were uploaded to SoundCloud in 2012, drawing the attention of Lana Del Rey's managers, who signed her up and sent her for two years of intensive recording sessions.
The result is an off-kilter, it-girl sound, powered by Lipa's deep, resonant voice. It won her a place on the BBC's Sound of 2016 longlist; while her recent single Be The One crept into iTunes charts around the world.
The 20-year-old's new single, Last Dance, premiered on BBC Radio 1 on Monday night, accompanied by a surreal, magical video filmed in California's rainforests.
Lipa talked to the BBC about the "terror" of making the video, her unusual upbringing, and a disappointing encounter with movie star Channing Tatum.
What was the first instrument you picked up?
Right, well... I decided, crazily, to take up the cello when I was in primary school. I really enjoyed it but I used to be really small. I would be carrying this massive cello on my back and it would either whack me on the top of my head or the backs of my legs. It was a real health hazard. So I gave it up.
And you were doing stage school at the weekend. Is it more like Glee or Whiplash?
You've got so many people with their script in their hand, warming up or running around practising tap in the hallways. There's a whole energy about it, but I couldn't imagine going to the full-time school.
Did you fit in?
When I was in primary school I was told I couldn't sing because I couldn't reach the high notes. That put me down a bit - but when my parents took me to Sylvia Young and I was told I could sing, it helped my confidence. But I could still never get to the top group because I wasn't musical theatre enough. Which I am really grateful for - because I've been able to keep my own voice rather than becoming very Broadway and jazz hands.
Your dad sent a tweet on your 20th birthday that read: "You've been a roller coaster of a teenager. Glad it's over." Were you a troublemaker?
I guess it was scary for them when I moved out of home at 15. But for me, it was the best time of my life!
I could barely make a Pot Noodle at that age. How did you look after yourself?
Cooking wasn't really an issue. It was cleaning and tidying my room. I'd take my clothes, stuff them in a cupboard and buy new ones until my mum came over. The day before I'd be doing six washes in one day.
How did you support yourself?
When I was 15, my parents gave me an allowance, but when I was 16 I started working as a nightclub hostess, then in a restaurant. I walked Channing Tatum and his wife to a table once. Good times!
Did you try to "accidentally" lose Mrs Tatum?
No! It was a bit of a let-down anyway. He's way hotter in the films.
Your first demo, Lions and Tigers and Bears, is still up on Soundcloud. Why do you keep it there?
Oh God! I don't know. I don't think much of it really makes sense. But that was my first piece of original work.
It's clear from the songs we've heard so far that you have two loves - hip-hop and pop.
I always wanted to combine them - I just didn't know how. I didn't want to rap in any of my songs but the beats are bass heavy like you would find in hip-hop, and I have that rapper's flow in the verses, singing the rap, then you've got the big pop chorus.
It is very noticeable that you sing in a lower register than most pop singers. Did you find producers and writers tried to push you towards those higher notes?
Sometimes but, for me, it's more interesting in the lower range. It sounds more conversational.
How did Last Dance come about?
I wrote that in Toronto. It was the third session of the day and I was like, "I'm so tired, I'm homesick and I miss my bed" and that's what I wrote about.
When I left I was like, "I don't know how I feel about this song". Then I had the finished version sent over to me and I was like, "Oh my God, I love it!"
It was the song where we figured out what my sound was going to be - the beat, the darkness, the lyrics, the pop chorus. It's the one I would take to new producers and say: "Right, this my sound."
When did this happen?
This was October 2014.
Really? You've been waiting a year and a half? Didn't that drive you crazy?
Yes! But we wanted to have the album ready before we put anything out, so we could plan and film the videos. It's been a long time.
I believe you've got the next single ready, too.
Yes! My whole life is planned for me! It's called Hotter Than Hell, which is about a really horrible relationship - one that went off the rails. It was really bruising my ego, and making me feel like I wasn't worth it. I was heartbroken, but I started to write about that time and I felt I had a lot to say.
How many songs did you record altogether?
Recorded and written? About 130 songs over a year and a half, but only about 25 we were really excited about, and 12 on the album.
I read an interview last summer where you said Be The One was "going to be an internet-only thing" but it's charted all over the world.
It's number three in Germany! It's crazy! It was supposed to be an introductory thing but it just got such a great response. I didn't expect it.
The video is just you goofing around in LA. You even get tattoos in one shot. Was that for real?
Yeah, it's a design by [US graffiti artist] Keith Haring. I paid for it myself. My parents went a bit crazy because it's on my thumbs. But I don't plan on getting a job at the bank.
The Last Dance video is a much bigger affair, though...
Yeah, we shot it in the rainforests in California. It starts off with me going into this crazy weird bath and ending coming out of a lake. We filmed it in December and I had to fall backwards into this lake in the tiniest dress. It was absolutely freezing.
[She pulls out her phone and plays rushes from the video shoot]
You look really scared.
I was terrified. I couldn't breathe!
How long did it take you to warm up afterwards?
The second I came out there were people with blankets carrying me, and we had loads of heaters all around. It was about 20 minutes until I got into proper clothes.
Whisky or Hot Chocolate?
Both.
The section of 16th century tapestry was owned by Emma Budge, whose estate was confiscated after her death in 1935 and sold to benefit Hitler's regime.
A claim by her estate was upheld by the UK's Spoliation Advisory Panel which looks into cases of looted artworks.
The amount of compensation due to the family is still to be decided.
The artwork at the centre of the claim is a tapestry fragment representing "The Visitation".
It depicts the pregnant Virgin Mary and Saint Elizabeth, the future mother of Saint John the Baptist.
The tapestry was made in Switzerland early in the 16th century. The fragment was cut from a larger tapestry and fashioned into the shape of an ecclesiastical cope hood.
It was acquired by Mrs Budge who, along with her husband Henry, amassed a considerable fortune after emigrating to the United States.
They returned to Hamburg where Mr Budge died in 1927. His wife died in 1935, shortly before the outbreak of the Second World War.
Mrs Budge's estate was confiscated by a Nazi official and sold at auction that same year.
The section of tapestry was acquired by Sir William Burrell in 1938.
Following his death in 1958, he left his thousands of paintings, sculptures, tapestries, ceramics and stained glass to Glasgow.
The famous collection, which is housed in a museum in Pollok Park, is controlled by the city council.
It has now agreed to pay compensation after a claim by Mrs Budge's heirs was upheld by the Spoliation Advisory Panel and it will discuss the amount at a later date.
The rail accident killed at least 79 passengers and wounded 600 people.
Early suggestions seemed to blame the crash on overcrowding.
But train company Bollore says that the train was still going fast at a point where it was expected to be travelling at lower speed.
Africa Live: Updates on this and other news stories
The passenger train was travelling from Yaounde, the capital, to the port city of Douala when carriages flipped over at high speed.
Eric Melet, Africa chairman of Bollore, told BBC Afrique the train should not have approached the site where the accident happened without slowing down.
"When it was near the station where the crash happened, it was travelling faster than the speed limit at that point," Mr Melet said.
Shortly after the crash was reported, Cameroon President Paul Biya told state TV that an "in-depth inquiry" into the causes of the accident had been ordered.
On Tuesday, a court also announced a criminal investigation to establish responsibilities in the possible causes of the accident.
The train was operated by Camrail, a local subcontractor of French company Bollore.
The "water train" is pulling 10 tankers filled with water to Latur district.

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis tweeted that "more efforts" would be made to provide people in the areas with water.

Judge Marco Aurelio Mello issued an injunction saying Mr Calheiros's position was untenable after the court ruled last week that he must face trial for alleged embezzlement.
Mr Calheiros has been accused of taking bribes from a construction company.
He is a close allies of centre-right President Michel Temer.
Judge Marco Aurelio Mello approved the injunction requested by the left-wing Rede party arguing that a politician facing criminal charges cannot be in the presidential line of succession.
As head of the Senate, Mr Calheiros is second in line after the speaker of the Chamber of Deputies, Rodrigo Maia.
Brazil does not currently have a vice-president, as Mr Temer, who occupied the post, replaced Dilma Rousseff as president earlier this year.
She was dismissed after an impeachment trial.
Judge Mello's decision is valid with immediate effect, but it can still be overturned by a majority of Supreme Court judges.
The case against Mr Calheiros dates back to 2007.
He was forced to resign as senate leader at the time, but was re-elected six years later. He denies wrongdoing.
Mr Calheiros is accused of agreeing with a construction company to pay maintenance for a daughter he had in an extramarital affair with a journalist.
The company allegedly billed the Senate for the payments.
Mr Calheiros, 61, is also being investigated separately in connection with a big kickback scheme at the state-owned oil company, Petrobras.
Dozens of politicians, civil servants and businessmen have been detained since the investigation, known as Operation Car Wash, began in 2014.
The Rev Dan Woodhouse, a Methodist minister in Leeds and Sam Walton, a Quaker, are accused of entering the BAE Systems site in Warton to disarm planes.
Police said they were being held on suspicion of criminal damage.
In a statement, Rev Woodhouse said stopping warplanes "would save lives".
Rev Woodhouse added: "Stopping or even delaying Saudi Arabia having more planes with which to bomb Yemen would save innocent lives and prevent war crimes."
BAE Systems said the matter was being investigated by Lancashire Police and it was assisting officers with their inquiries.
Computers at South Park Studios in Los Angeles were down for three hours on Tuesday, halting work on the episode Goth Kids 3: Dawn of the Posers.
Co-creator Trey Parker told fans "it sucks" but admitted it was inevitable.
"After all these years of tempting fate by delivering the show last minute, I guess it was bound to happen," he said.
It is the first time he and Matt Stone have missed one of their tight deadlines in 16 years, after famously starting each show from scratch just six days before it is due to air.
Most animated TV shows are written several months in advance, but South Park's creators hope to keep the show current and fresh by working to a tight deadline.
The US office of Comedy Central said in a statement on Wednesday: "From animation to rendering to editing and sound, all of their computers were down for hours and they were unable to finish episode 1704, Goth Kids 3: Dawn of the Posers, in time for air tonight."
The planned episode was replaced with a repeat of Scott Tenorman Must Die, an episode featuring British band Radiohead, which fans had voted their second favourite of all time in a poll in 2011.
The team posted pictures of the blackout on the show's Twitter feed and revealed that Goth Kids 3 was now scheduled for next week.
Earlier this year Parker and Stone's musical The Book of Mormon opened to rave reviews in London's West End, after a sell-out debut on Broadway.
They confirmed two years ago that they would continue animating the adventures of South Park's Stan, Kyle, Kenny and Cartman until 2016.
The show recently kicked off its 17th series in the US to its highest ratings since 2011, with 4.3 million viewers tuning in across three broadcasts.
The taboo-breaking animation is broadcast on Comedy Central in the UK at a week's delay and Goth Kids 3 is now expected to air on 30 October at 22:00 BST. Scott Tenorman Must Die will be broadcast in its original slot on 23 October.
Shazib Khan, 23, told Kingston Crown Court he was moved by the plight of innocent civilians.
Mr Khan said he told friends he wanted to help "by any means" but he meant by providing money and food not violence.
He and nephew Junead Khan, 25, both from Luton, deny engaging in conduct in preparation of terrorist acts.
This is alleged to have happened between 1 August 2014 and 15 July 2015.
A series of messages exchanged between Shazib Khan and friends on WhatsApp in early 2014 were read to the court.
In one, he said there was more to be done for the people of Syria than pray, suggesting they should "get out there and help".
He also said: "I want to go abroad and help the brothers and sisters by any means."
Asked by defence counsel Michael Ivers QC if this meant fighting, Mr Khan replied: "No."
He told the jury: "I never had a physical fight in my life. The closest I get is computer games."
Junead Khan also denies making preparations for attacking military personnel in the UK between 10 May and 14 July 2015.
The trial continues.
That could now change. Consumer Affairs Minister Ram Vilas Paswan tweeted on Monday that people could use their "discretion" on whether or not to pay the tip.
Twitter users have hailed the minister's announcement.
But an industry body said it would hit millions of workers.
Indians have been using social media to complain about restaurants which add a service charge to the overall bill.
The minister responded on Monday, telling people to pay the charge only when they were satisfied with the service.
Many on social media welcomed the announcement.
But others felt that government should completely abolish the service charge to avoid confusion or friction.
Restaurant owners, meanwhile, have criticised the minister's announcement, saying that it will affect industry workers.
Riyaaz Amlani, the president of the National Restaurant Association of India, told IANS news agency that the statement was "extremely detrimental to the employees", and would hit people's livelihoods.
"It is not just the owner but all the employees who are associated with a restaurant including the dishwasher, the caretaker, the toilet cleaner, all depend on service charge," he said.
Restaurants have also rejected allegations that they "pocket the service charge" and don't give it to their employees.
Dr Craig Venter's team announced their landmark discovery in Science magazine.
They have succeeded in transplanting synthetic DNA for a bacterium into a host cell.
But what are the ethical implications of their discovery?
We have now accomplished the last piece on the list that was required to do what ethicists called "playing God". What that literally means is the capacity to be a creator.
There are a number of people who will find that very fact in itself terrifying. Many believe there ought to be certain areas that ought to be left alone. This is one of those areas where you can do things vastly before you consider their implications.
There are obviously very important ethical issues. This work has proceeded without any real regulation at all. The bad guys are out there. Weaponising all sorts of things will be much, much easier.
The science is flying 30,000 feet over the public's understanding of the ethics. Scientists can be their own worst enemy by using words like "clone" or "synthetic life".
This isn't a case of rogue scientists, this is a group that is extremely well known, incredibly well respected.
You are going to have to help scientists with education so this thing doesn't become a national or international threat.
[That is] the way to fend off the Luddites that would say this and any other genetic research is awful - these people will be harder to fend off because more safeguards haven't been made.
A lot of people will think that the main ethical concern is that this is playing God. But the main issue for me is that this has profound and unparalleled potential benefits - developing new biofuels, being able to deal with pollution, new medical treatments - but it also has almost unimaginable potential risks.
So far we have seen [elsewhere] the construction of polio and mouse pox but these are just small fry compared to what might happen when you can go down the path of engineering organisms that could never naturally exist.
I don't think people appreciate the power of this revolution. I don't think the scientists are behaving unethically but this is potentially so powerful we have to think now how we are going to realise the benefits before exposing ourselves to the risk.
If this research goes in one direction Dr Venter may get the Nobel prize, but if it goes in another direction there will be no Nobel prizes to give because there will be no people to give them.
They are doing significant modifications to the biological matter, but it isn't truly artificial life. Obviously when one engenders a new life form one can't be entirely certain what it's going to do, how it's going to reproduce. It could turn out to be virulent [although that's unlikely in this case].
Unesco and the UN do have bioethical oversight bodies. This does need oversight - you can unleash new lifeforms that could be quite dangerous.
We don't think you can create life. One can modify and manipulate already existing biological material. No-one [is] able to create life from scratch. There have been claims before that life has been created.
This is a lovely result. Just synthesising a genome that big is a big technical advance and undoubtedly they've learned a lot about how to insert a genome into a cell.
But I don't really see this as the huge advance that Venter is making it out to be, and I certainly don't see it as the philosophical advance that he's making it out to be.
Frankly, he's describing it in a way that's drumming up controversy more than characterising it accurately. His claim that we've got the first self-replicating life form whose parent is a computer, that's just silly.
It misuses the word "parent". The advance here needs to be described in sane and accurate ways. What he's managed to do is synthesise a genome much larger than any genome that's been synthesised from scratch before.
He said it's changed his own views of what the concept of life is and how life works. I'm really not sure why it would have done that.
I think that the synthetic cell that has just been created is a very exciting basic science breakthrough. I have concerns though that there will be a rush to release it into a natural environment.
There are many disturbing examples of other types of artificial constructions, like GEO crops and over-use of pesticides, that are leading to very significant problems in the balance that needs to be maintained in our ecosystem - for maintaining a healthy planet.
Martin Boyle scored the opener early on for the Championship leaders with Grant Holt sealing the win before half-time.
Jamie Langfield saved a second-half penalty from Holt, but that was about the only positive aspect for the Paisley outfit.
They are now three points behind Dumbarton at the bottom of the table.
The decision by Hibs manager Neil Lennon to start with Boyle ahead of top scorer Jason Cummings - who remained on the bench for the second week running - proved to be the catalyst for the hosts' victory.
The former Dundee winger showed electric pace throughout the afternoon with three Saints defenders often trailing in his wake.
The opener arrived after just eight minutes with Andrew Shinnie's inch-perfect pass to Boyle, who showed excellent composure to clip the ball over the advancing Langfield.
Ryan Hardie came close to an equaliser for Saints but his effort was cleared off the line by John McGinn, with David Clarkson firing the rebound just wide.
The home side doubled their advantage before the break after a sustained spell of pressure.
With the Buddies' defence failing to clear their 18-yard box, Boyle nodded the ball back to Holt, who fired home from 16 yards.
With 15 minutes of the match remaining, Hibernian could have made it three when Holt was bustled to the ground by Gary Irvine just yards from goal and referee Don Robertson pointed to the spot.
But Langfield dived low to his left-hand side to tip Holt's spot-kick away.
While Lennon could take satisfaction in a clean sheet and a job well done, St Mirren boss Jack Ross is still looking for his first win - and first goals - since succeeding Alex Rae.
Hibs boss Neil Lennon: "That was excellent. Off the back of an excellent win last week, I can't ask any more of the players. It could have been a lot more.
"Our play was good. Martin (Boyle) came in and gave us a little bit of zip in attack. He had an outstanding game and scored a great goal. But all round I am very happy.
"I toyed with the idea of starting Jason (Cummings) because he is a bona fida centre forward. We see Martin as more of a central player now rather than being a wide man. He has goals in him.
"When you see his work rate, when you see a centre forward lead from the front, it gives the whole team a lift."
St Mirren boss Jack Ross: "They are top of the league for a reason. They are a good side. I thought in the early part of the game we had good opportunities to take the lead and if you take them the game could pan out differently.
"There are encouraging signs. I think the last two games there have been more positives than negatives.
"What we are trying to do day in, day out is remind them they are good players and keep working with them. We are heading in the right direction but we need results to equate to that as well."

The Syrian Red Crescent confirmed the latest evacuations on Twitter.
Hundreds of civilians were allowed to leave at the weekend after the local governor agreed a truce with the UN.
Meanwhile, government and opposition negotiators have resumed peace talks in Geneva. Analysts say that little progress is expected.
By Lyse DoucetChief international correspondent, Damascus
The tide of people continued - elderly men and women on stretchers or crutches, exhausted mothers in tears, children who went straight into the arms of waiting aid officials from the UN and the Syrian Arab Red Crescent Society. Water, bread, even polio vaccinations were provided on the spot.
Many residents who have finally escaped speak of having only grass and olives to eat.
Today, the temporary ceasefire wasn't shattered by mortar attacks and gunfire that temporarily halted but did not stop a humanitarian mission at the weekend. But here in Damascus fighting caused the suspension of another food distribution in the besieged suburb of Yarmouk.
These breakthroughs are small glimmers of light in a dark and devastating war. But they are only a start. Only a peace deal will end Syria's humanitarian crisis, and for now, there is no sign of that.
The opposition wants the government to commit in writing to the 2012 Geneva Communique, which called for the formation of a transitional administration with full executive authority.
President Bashar al-Assad's government has ruled out any transfer of power.
The first round of talks ended last month with no firm agreements and both sides trading insults.
The second round opened on Monday with preliminary discussions aimed at thrashing out an agenda, but the two sides have not yet met face-to-face.
Syria's civil conflict has claimed more than 100,000 lives since 2011 and has driven 9.5 million people from their homes.
During the first three-day ceasefire in Homs, hundreds of civilians were allowed to leave.
The evacuations took place amid mortar fire and shooting, which both sides blamed on each other. Activists say several people were killed.
Although the situation in Homs was discussed during the first round of talks in Geneva, the truce was actually agreed between Homs governor Talal Barazi and the UN resident co-ordinator in Syria.
Mr Barazi said on Sunday that talks were going on to extend the ceasefire for another three days.
UN aid chief Valerie Amos later confirmed in a statement that the truce had been extended for three days.
Desperation of Palestinian refugees
French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said France and other countries would present a resolution at the UN calling for greater access for humanitarian aid.
"We are asking for stronger action as far as the humanitarian side is concerned, that medicines and food supplies are handed out in cities," he told French radio.
"It is absolutely scandalous that there have been discussions for quite a while and that people are still being starved every day, and so along with a number of other countries we will present a resolution at the UN along those lines."
But China and Russia did not turn up to preliminary discussions on the draft.
Russian diplomats had already dismissed the idea of a so-called humanitarian resolution.
The Syrian government has acknowledged that some of those evacuated from Homs on Sunday were detained after they left.
A Syrian information ministry spokesman told the BBC that 103 "militants" had been detained for security checks, but had since been released.
But other reports suggest the men have not been released, and are still being detained with their families.
In other developments:
But - whisper it - increasing amounts of the main ingredient for Scotch are being imported....from England.
The recession-busting success of the drinks firms in selling whisky around the world has lead to soaring demand for quality malting barley.
Scotland can't supply all the barley needed to keep the distilleries running so maltsters are now encouraging more English arable farmers to grow grain specially for the whisky industry.
Lincolnshire farmer Mark Ireland produces barley for the distilling and brewing industries as well as for cattle feed.
"This is some of our fruits of our 2013 harvest - spring barley," he said as he surveyed mountains of grain.
"This shedful here... all of it's going for malting. Some of that will go to produce lager and the majority of it - that which has the right specification - will be going to produce whisky."
Tiny differences in the nitrogen content of the barley determine whether it goes for beer or Scotch.
Malting the barley involves soaking the grains and allowing them to sprout, enabling more of the starch to be converted into sugars.
The whisky industry in the UK currently needs 800,000 tonnes of malting barley a year while 500,000 tonnes goes into brewing beer.
Ten years ago those figures were the other way round and Guy Newsam, of Muntons Maltings of Bridlington, in Yorkshire, believes that 950,000 tonnes will be required by distillers within five years.
He said: "The distillers are resurgent at the moment, I think it's fair to say.
"And the distillers have announced that there's going to be around about a 20% increase in that requirement over the next five years as well."
Muntons are now trying to persuade more farmers in Lincolnshire and East Yorkshire to sow the kind of barley that will find favour with the whisky producers.
Mr Newsam said: "The distillers are after fermentable extracts. They need as much alcohol out of the malt that we supply as possible.
"What's really important is to get the message through to the growers that the right varieties are grown - those that the distillers are looking for."
This week the Speyburn distillery at Rothes on Speyside welcomed a consignment of Mark Ireland's malted barley from Lincolnshire.
While some might baulk at that idea, distillery manager Bobby Anderson was philosophical.
He said: "It'll probably surprise a few people but the fact is that Scottish whisky production is so large at the moment that Scottish farmers can't meet the demand for the barley so we've got to take barley from England.
"But that's been ongoing for years, it's not a new phenomenon."
Such is the global boom in sales of Scotch that whisky companies are ramping up production as fast as they can.
Old plants are being taken out of mothballs, existing distilleries, like Speyburn, are being expanded and new ones are springing up throughout Scotland.
The fact is that, while much whisky marketing is aimed at stirring the emotions, the industry is run by hard-headed business people and managers who have always bought their raw ingredients wherever they can get the right quality at the right price.
And if that has meant barley from Germany, Denmark or England then that is where it has been sourced.
Once a distiller has decided whether they want their barley peated or not - dried using peat smoke to flavour the grains - there's no noticeable difference.
Factors like the shape of the still, the type of cask the spirit is matured in and the skill of the stillman are what give the product of each distillery their unique flavour.
But malt whisky is made using only three basic ingredients: water yeast and malted barley.
So if the main element comes from England, is the spirit still Scotch?
"Oh definitely, it's still very much a Scotch product," insisted Bobby Anderson.
"It's a very traditional site we've got here."
It's a conundrum best considered, perhaps, over a decent dram.
He founded the Pakistani-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) militant group in the 1990s and, when that was banned, revived a much older organisation, Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) in 2002.
Mr Saeed maintains JuD is a Islamic welfare organisation, but the US says it is a front for LeT.
In 2012 Washington announced a $10m (£8m) bounty for information leading to his arrest and conviction but, despite periods of detention over the years, he has remained free.
Now, however, he is under house arrest in Lahore, in a move seen as a response to actions by Donald Trump's White House against nations deemed linked to terrorism.
In a rare interview in 2014, Hafiz Saeed told the BBC he had nothing to do with the Mumbai attacks, calling evidence against him "just propaganda" by India.
"The people of Pakistan know me and they love me. No-one has tried to approach the American authorities to get this bounty. My role is very clear, and God is protecting me."
Delhi accuses Mr Saeed and his organisation of carrying out several militant attacks on its territory and has been highly critical of the freedom he enjoys in Pakistan.
But to date, Pakistan has maintained there is no evidence to arrest him and put him on trial.
He was detained for three months after LeT was accused of carrying out the attack on the Indian parliament in 2001. In August 2006, he was detained for activities which the government said were "detrimental" to its relations with other governments, but released in December.
Two years later he was again put under house arrest, this time following the Mumbai attacks of November 2008.
The Pakistani government later acknowledged that "part" of the conspiracy to attack Mumbai did take place on its soil, and that LeT had been involved.
Several arrests were made in Pakistan in connection with the attacks, but no criminal charges were brought against Mr Saeed. He was freed some six months later.
Significantly, these detentions came at a time of mounting international pressure on Pakistan to rein in the LeT.
Pakistan's actions against the group as a whole have also been tentative, apparently taken under outside pressure.
It banned LeT in January 2002 after the US put it on its list of terrorist organisations. Likewise, the US placed JuD on a national watch list in December 2008 after the UN imposed sanctions on the controversial charity.
This raised eyebrows in Pakistan, where the links between the militant and social welfare wings of some groups are often not clear.
Since 9/11, some organisations banned by the US or Pakistan have continued to operate under different aliases, portraying themselves as welfare rather than militant outfits.
In some cases it appears that the authorities have turned a blind eye and the LeT-turned-JuD would appear to be one such example.
LeT was an offshoot of Jamaat-ud-Dawa wal-Irshad, a preaching, publishing and propaganda network set up by Hafiz Saeed for jihad (holy war) in Afghanistan in 1985.
Abdullah Uzzam, a Palestinian scholar and one of the earliest Arab ideologues of jihad in Afghanistan, was a co-founder.
Mr Saeed formed LeT as the militant wing of Jamaat-ud-Dawa wal-Irshad in the early 1990s, when many militant groups started to move from Afghanistan to Kashmir after the Soviet Union pulled out of Afghanistan.
LeT's rise as a major Pakistani group operating in Kashmir has been widely credited to Mr Saeed's close links to the Pakistani military and intelligence services.
The group also had access to huge funds from Middle Eastern mosques and a countrywide network to raise donations.
After 9/11 LeT came under increasing international pressure, principally because of its involvement in high-profile attacks in Indian-administered Kashmir and cities in India.
India blamed the group for attacks in Mumbai and Delhi in 2003, 2005 and 2008. It was also named in connection with armed raids on Delhi's Red Fort in December 2000 and on the Indian parliament a year later.
Days before LeT was banned in January 2002, Hafiz Saeed revived the group's parent organisation, Jamaat-ud-Dawa wal-Irshad, and amended its name.
But there was no significant change in the nature of its activities. JuD offices continued to recruit fighters for militant training camps in Pakistani-administered Kashmir.
The presence of those militants enabled them to start early rescue missions in the aftermath of the earthquake that hit the Kashmir region in October 2005.
That allowed the government to portray JuD as an efficient relief organisation working closely with the Pakistan army as well as UN agencies in quake-hit areas.
Since it was banned, LeT has experienced some defections from its ranks by elements not happy with Pakistan's policy of easing tensions with India.
But independent observers believe the bulk of the organisation has remained united under the clandestine leadership of Hafiz Saeed.
In 2015, Pakistan placed JuD on its watch list, but stopped short of a ban. Hafiz Saeed is also associated with another charity by the name of Falah-e-Insaniyat (Welfare of Humankind), which is on a US blacklist.
His ongoing freedom has been a major irritant to both Delhi and Washington.
Earlier this month, speaking to JuD activists in Muzaffarabad in Pakistan-administered Kashmir, he indicated that he had inside knowledge of a recent deadly raid on India's military in disputed Kashmir.
He told his audience that jihad was the only way to liberate Kashmir from India, and that it was the religious duty of people in Kashmir and Pakistan to take part.
It is not yet clear how long Pakistan plans to keep him under house arrest, and to what end.
"My detention orders are unlawful and we will challenge them in the court," he told reporters before he was led away by police. "These orders have come from Washington."

The 17-time Grand Slam champion needed just 56 minutes to win his third Group B match and reach the semi-finals.
Murray required a straight-sets win to qualify but won only eight points in the first set and did not win a game until 6-0 5-0 down.
The result is Murray's worst since he lost 6-1 6-0 to Novak Djokovic in Miami seven years ago.
Japanese world number five Kei Nishikori qualifies behind Federer after his earlier 4-6 6-4 6-1 victory over Spaniard David Ferrer - a replacement for the injured Milos Raonic.
"Clearly, I'm very happy to play a good match today," Federer said. "I knew I was qualified so maybe I went in a bit more relaxed.
"It's not the way I thought it was going to go, but there's always next year for Andy and hopefully he can have a good season.
"At the end I was happy I didn't win the second to last game to be quite honest."
After 24 minutes, Murray's progress in the tournament was over as he suffered his first 6-0 set loss in four years.
"It was a tough night," Murray said.
"I've lost Grand Slam finals, which have been very tough, but in terms of the way the match went it was not ideal from my side of the court - far from it.
"He played exceptionally well, that's for sure. I can say I'm disappointed with my level tonight but if I played well, he probably still would have won anyway."
A tight, tense encounter had been anticipated with the Scot needing a fast start, and Federer keen to win the group and so probably avoid top seed Novak Djokovic in the semi-finals.
In the event, only one player brought anything like his best game.
The 17,000 spectators packed into the O2 must have thought they were in a for classic when Murray won the opening two points on Federer's serve, before the Swiss won an epic 34-stroke rally on the third.
From that moment on it was one-way traffic as Murray struggled to find first serves and Federer produced some sublime tennis.
As the games rolled by, he even threatened to inflict the dreaded 'double bagel' on Murray, whose ambition became drastically reduced.
"Just try and win the point," he said. "Try and set a target of winning points. Try and win two points in a row rather than trying to focus on, 'OK, I want to get this game.'
"You just try and set smaller goals than that. That's basically it."
Federer moves on to the semi-finals and keeps his outside hopes of ending the year as world number one alive, although Djokovic can end that race should he beat Tomas Berdych on Friday.
Mark Kirkpatrick was found on a street in Lancashire seven months ago after his former partner Gemma Hollings attacked him with a pole, hammer and a glass bottle.
Mark still bears the scars - on his face and body - of the attack which Lancashire police described as one of the worst cases of domestic violence they'd ever seen.
Hollings was jailed for eight years in October.
Speaking softly he says he met her four months earlier.
"She was alright in the first few weeks. I thought it was a passing thing when she became controlling.
"She started telling me not to wear shorts. She wouldn't let me have my hair shaved even though that's how it was when she first met me.
"It got violent about three or four weeks into living at hers. We argued over something.
"I got up to leave the house, she pushed me back on the stairs and put her hands round my throat. She tried to strangle me."
The controlling and violence continued until one evening on Friday 2 May 2014 when things took a turn for the worse.
"She wanted some money. I rang my mum, she refused.
"And then she [Gemma] got violent.
"She pushed me against the wall, squeezed my testicles, she picked up a metal pole hit me all over the body.
"Then she picked up a hammer hit me in the head and all over the body. She picked up a penknife and sliced me in various places."
Mark says he didn't react or call the police. He went to bed to try and calm the situation down but the violence erupted again Saturday morning.
"There was blood everywhere, she asked me clean it up. Obviously I was in no fit state, so I didn't do it, and she didn't like that.
"She got a bottle, smashed it and stabbed me in the neck with it."
Mark ran out onto a street where a passer-by stayed with him and insisted he go to the hospital.
When police found him they said he was so traumatised he did not realise how badly injured he was. They said he could have died.
"I had a shattered eye socket, and had to have a metal plate fitted. I had four or five deep cuts in my heads which now have stitches and staples."
He lied to the officers about what had happened and said he avoided speaking to them about the violence he was suffering.
"In a way I was worried about coming forward, about it getting out, what people would think Oh he's been beaten up by a woman'.
"In a way I loved her. I just wanted to sort it out and move on."
Statistics from the 2013 Crime Survey suggest usually takes 30 incidents before a victim of domestic abuse comes forward.
In the end he told the police what was happening.
"Looking back on it now I'm glad police got involved.
"If they hadn't she could've got away with it. She could've done a lot worse to someone else, she could've done a lot worse to me."
In October, Gemma Hollings was found guilty of causing grievous bodily harm and assault after a five-day trial at Preston Crown Court.
Looking back Mark explains why he didn't defend himself.
"I get asked that question a lot. Why didn't I hit her back? I just didn't. I don't hit girls. I'm not like that."
Although the number of reported cases for women are much higher at 1.2 million figures from the 2013 Crime Survey suggest around 700,000 victims of domestic violence in 2013 were men.
Mark says: " Men are probably scared to come forward because they're scared what people will think. You don't hear it that often of men but they shouldn't have to suffer. No one should - men or women."
The ManKind Initiative is a charity that provides support to male victims.
Mark Brooks is the chairman who tells us one in five people going to police are now men.
"While awareness of male victims is improving it is still several decades behind awareness of female victims.
"All domestic abuse awareness campaigns and policies must include and give equal status to male victims as female victims. If there are female only campaigns that is ok as long as there are male campaigns as well."
In the next few months the government is expected to make domestic violence a specific criminal offence and that includes emotional and financial abuse.

The Portsmouth South MP apologised in June last year for conducting an "inappropriate friendship" with a vulnerable female constituent.
He resigned from the Liberal Democrats in September after he had the whip removed but remained an MP.
The 68-year-old, who has battled health issues, said he hoped voters would accept he had paid for his "mistake".
Mr Hancock said he was still fit to do the job despite undergoing major heart operations and recently spending time at a mental health unit.
A civil action against him was dropped last year when the complainant agreed to a confidential settlement and the MP issued an apology.
He told BBC News: "I'm going to stand for sure, I've made this decision because my health is so much better and I think I owe it to a lot of people who have supported me.
"Once you've been an MP for as long as I have it's hard to just walk away.
"I think if enough people realise that I'm like everyone, I'm a fallible human being who made a mistake but paid a very high price for it... I think I could [win]."
He will go head-to-head with his former party colleague Gerald Vernon-Jackson who will be standing for the Liberal Democrats.
But Mr Hancock said he felt he "did not owe anything" to his old party and was not concerned about taking their votes.
He has been an MP in Portsmouth since 1984 and won with a majority of more than 5,000 votes in 2010.
He has also served as a Portsmouth councillor, which he carried out alongside his MP duties, until he lost his Fratton seat in the local elections last year.
The former England batsman, 31, hit 16 fours in his score of 119 to anchor the hosts' innings alongside Darren Stevens (44) and Will Gidman (42).
Vernon Philander (2-42) and Jofra Archer began well, reducing Kent to 115-4 before the middle order rallied.
David Wiese (3-54) removed James Harris late on, but Adam Rouse reached stumps 32 not out to conclude the opening day.
Philander and Archer piled on the pressure early on, restricting Kent to 7-1 from their first 10 overs before Wiese struck to leave the home side in trouble.
However, Denly frustrated Sussex in his 208-ball innings, finding support from Joe Weatherley (33), Stevens and Gidman before Philander pinned him lbw.
He is the first member of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) to appear before the International Criminal Court.
Mr Ongwen has been accused of 70 war crimes and crimes against humanity.
His defence is likely to use his past as a former child soldier and kidnap victim as part of a plea for leniency.
Prosecutors used Thursday's confirmation-of-charges hearing to try to convince judges there is enough evidence for Mr Ongwen to stand trial.
They said Mr Ongwen had used schoolgirls as sex slaves, conscripted child soldiers and, in at least one instance, ordered his men to kill, cook and eat civilians.
Images shown in the session included a video of shallow graves in the aftermath of an attack.
The hearings were broadcast in the northern Ugandan town of Lukodi, one of the places where Mr Ongwen is accused of carrying out atrocities.
The BBC's Catherine Byaruhanga says lots of people went to watch.
The prosecution is focusing on attacks on four displaced camps housing civilians driven out by the LRA's violence.
Mr Ongwen, born in 1975, surrendered in January 2015. He was abducted by the LRA when he was 10 years old and rose to become one of its commanders.
His lawyers are likely to argue he had a traumatised youth as part of a plea for leniency, the BBC's Anna Holligan at the Hague says.
Dressed in a grey suit, lilac shirt and grey tie, Mr Ongwen rose to say that reading out the charges was a "waste of time".
He is believed to have been a deputy of LRA commander Joseph Kony, who is still on the run.
Over the next five days, the defence and prosecution will have a chance to outline their arguments.
The judges will then have 60 days to decide whether there is enough evidence to put him on trial.

"Today, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is higher than at any time in the last 650,000 years. #climate," said one of the tweets.
The posts by Badlands National Park in South Dakota were widely shared but had all been removed by Tuesday evening.
The National Park Service shut its own Twitter operation briefly on Friday after an apparent clampdown.
Trump's 'control-alt-delete' on climate
The park service had retweeted photos about turnout at President Donald Trump's inauguration.
But the accounts were reactivated the next day after an apology for "mistaken" retweets.
Since then the park service tweets have been about park news and scenery, but on Tuesday afternoon, the South Dakota park started posting tweets about climate science data.
President Trump has previously called climate change a hoax and the White House deleted the climate change policies on its website on the day of the inauguration.
The park service could not be reached for comment.
Meanwhile, a media blackout has been introduced at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), according to the Associated Press news agency.
It bans staff from awarding new contracts or posting on any of the agency's social media accounts,
The main EPA account has not posted anything since 19 January, a day before Mr Trump's inauguration.
The new president angered environmentalists on Tuesday with two executive actions that advance two controversial pipelines.
But Mr Trump said the Keystone XL and the Dakota Access pipelines were important because they would create thousands of construction jobs.
The regulator will examine directory enquiries numbers, which begin with 118, after some providers were found to be charging up to £10.50 a call.
It will also look at 070 numbers, which allow users to be contacted on any phone at any location, and can cost up to £3.40 a minute.
The telecoms regulator said prices should be "transparent and fair".
Ofcom, which raised its concerns last week, said there were now more than 400 directory enquiry services offering a variety of options and prices, with call costs ranging from 35p per call to £10.50.
However, there is no stipulated cap on such charges, meaning operators are free to charge up to a maximum of £23.97 for calls of less than a minute.
"Ofcom has been monitoring the costs of the more expensive services, which have risen significantly in recent months as fewer people use these services," it said.
Citizens Advice has said the current system leaves elderly people particularly vulnerable to high call charges.
Last week, it said it knew of one client who had received a £150 bill for calling a 118 number.
Meanwhile Ofcom said it was aware of one consumer who called directory enquiries in 2009, and ended up with a bill for £350.
When directory enquiries was deregulated in 2003, calls to BT's 192 service cost just 40p.
In a previous inquiry the watchdog decided against imposing a stipulated price cap on charges, but it could now review that decision.
Ofcom also plans to examine 070 numbers, which enable calls to be diverted from one phone number to another, so that the person being called can keep their own number private, and remain contactable wherever they go.
Small businesses and sole traders often use them to make it easier to manage calls.
However, Ofcom said it was concerned they could be confused with mobile phone numbers, which also start '07'.
"Ofcom is concerned about evidence of scams designed to make consumers believe they are calling a mobile number," it said.
"When people call the 070 number back, they are actually dialling a service costing up to £3.40 a minute."
The regulator said it expected to publish detailed proposals following its review later this year.
Tim ran the distance of the London Marathon, 42km, on a treadmill on the International Space Station (ISS) in three hours and 35 minutes.
To counteract the effects of weightlessness, he used a harness to keep him on the running belt.
Before the event he said: "I'm quite glad that this is happening later on in the mission so I've had plenty of time to get used to the treadmill."
Elastic straps over the shoulders and round the waist keep Major Peake in contact with the running belt of the treadmill.
The straps are designed to give astronauts' bones and muscles a workout in weightlessness.
He said: "One of the biggest challenges is the harness system. Obviously, my bodyweight has to be firmly attached to the treadmill by this harness, and that can rub on the shoulders and around the waist."
It's not the first time he's run a marathon - in 1999 he finished the London Marathon in three hours, 18 minutes and 50 seconds.
He did not try to beat that time as his medical team wanted to ensure he was perfectly healthy for his return to Earth in June.
The ISS circles the Earth at 28,800km/h, so Major Peake covered more than 86,000km during his run.
Major Peake started at the same time as the other runners: 10:00 BST on 24 April.
From 5-2 down, the 27-year-old from Bristol made three centuries in four frames in the Llandudno final.
Trump, who lost the deciding frame to Stuart Bingham in the Welsh Open final last month, led 8-5 and then 9-7.
He defied a late Fu surge for his seventh ranking title of his career, adding to October's European Masters, and is up to second in the rankings.
World number nine Fu, in his second ranking final of the season after winning the Scottish Open in December, had runs of 67, 48, 39 and 83 to establish his 5-2 advantage.
Trump had missed several routine pots but recorded consecutive century breaks of 136 and 115 in the final two frames of the opening session.
Further impressive breaks of 110 and 76 put Trump within two of victory but Fu won the next two, clinching the 15th frame with a long pink close to the cushion.
Trump made a fourth century with a 102 and although Fu reduced it to 9-8 with a 58, the left-hander held on to atone for three defeats in finals this season.

An Australian educational body noted a "significant decline" in IT literacy among some students since 2011.
Its report said children learned very different skills on tablets and smartphones to the basic technology skills required for the workplace.
Changes to the way that ICT was being taught in Australian schools could explain some of the decline, it said.
The report added that significant alterations in the types of devices people use could also be behind some of the changes.
The report by Australia's National Assessment Programme looked at technology literacy among two groups of children - one just leaving primary school and another in its fourth year of secondary school. More than 10,500 students took part.
It compared digital literacy scores from 2011 with those from a survey carried out in late 2014.
"This report shows a significant decline in their ICT literacy performance when compared to previous cycles," it said.
Both age groups saw a decline in IT proficiencies, it added. Statistics revealed that the average performance of 16-year-olds in the 2014 group was lower than the average in any other year.
In addition it found that the number of children meeting basic ICT literacy standards in these age groups had dropped.
"These declines in performance are concerning and warrant serious attention," said the report.
The online survey asked children to complete a variety of tasks including
Pupils now made "increased" and "extensive" use of mobile technology and it was possible that this meant they were "practising fewer of the skills that have been associated with ICT literacy," it said.
Tablets and smartphones were making children competent at using many forms of online communication, it said, at the expense of those other skills emphasised by the curriculum.
It warned against assuming that children who use tablets and other portable devices were more widely competent with technology.
"We cannot expect students to become proficient on important employability and life skills, just by using computing devices for games and social interaction," it said. "They also need to be taught the relevant knowledge, understanding and skills."
Eben Upton, who came up with the idea for the bare-bones Raspberry Pi computer, said the Australian research presented some "interesting" conclusions.
"It's always been my belief that 'appliance-like' hardware platforms don't encourage real computer literacy because there are missing rungs on the ladder between being a consumer and being a producer," he told the BBC.
"There's a place for tablets in education, but we need to get away from the idea that knowing how to pinch-zoom makes your toddler the next Bill Gates," he said.
Csaba Lukacs, the paper's leader writer, depicts a Hungary under attack from young, stone-throwing Muslim men: "Hungary's border was besieged by those who think they have the basic human right to march across Europe without documents."
Many in Hungary agree with these sentiments.
In Roszke on the Serbian border, through which tens of thousands of refugees have walked in recent months, little remains of the refugee camp constructed last weekend - just in time to help the last of the migrants.
A few white humanitarian tents, 34 portable toilets, and some people sifting through the rubbish for anything of value.
But in the cornfields and sunflower fields nearby, there are knapsacks, clothes, children's toys and human excrement in every row. Many patches where people slept or hid, or fled pursuing policemen, have been flattened.
"I'm so glad this is all over," local farmer Zoltan Varga told me, as he inspected his red peppers.
Some of the crop was trampled underfoot, he said, as people ran through the fields. Some migrants slept in his greenhouses and caused damage there.
He had watched Wednesday's police intervention at the Roszke road crossing on television.
"The police acted correctly," he said. But he also felt sorry for the families with children. "If they had to come, why couldn't we lay on trains to take them across the country?"
The clashes at the Roszke-Horgos border crossing divide pro-government and opposition newspapers.
Magyar Idok, a paper launched recently by the ruling Fidesz party, argues the "determination and aggressiveness" of the migrants left Hungarian police with little choice but to use water cannon.
Centre-right Magyar Nemzet says "the Hungarian border was besieged by those who think that it's their basic human right to march throughout Europe without papers."
But centre-left Nepszabadsag reacts sarcastically that "the strong Hungarian nation can breathe freely. We no longer have anything to worry about".
And a commentator in centre-left Nepszava remarks: "We can now get on with our everyday Hungarian lives surrounded by barbed wire and shunned by migrants, neighbours, brothers, pals, close friends and investors."
The government has been anxiously watching public opinion polls, and commissioning its own private ones, for any sign of an improvement in their popularity, which sank drastically last October.
An important factor in its handling of the crisis has been the loss of a million supporters, and a surge in the popularity of the radical nationalist Jobbik party, which shares Fidesz's anti-migrant rhetoric.
The latest poll by the pro-government Szazadveg think tank gave them some comfort, suggesting that the popularity of Fidesz grew from 43% in June to 48% in September.
But those figures are challenged by Professor Gabor Toka, a public opinion specialist at the Central European University in Budapest.
"I haven't seen any evidence that would support the claim that the government's handling of the refugee crisis has increased its popularity," he told the BBC, pointing to the results of five separate pollsters since January.
From the opposition side, liberal weekly Magyar Narancs depicted Prime Minister Viktor Orban with a curly, Hitler-style moustache made of coils of barbed wire - prompting a small demonstration outside its offices by Orban loyalists.
The dispute has further polarised an already deeply-divided society.
In March, the firm, which employs 7,000 people across four sites in Wales, revealed changes to its pension scheme which could see workers retire at 65 rather than 60.
The workers attended the event at the town's Princess Royal Theatre on Saturday.
Ballot papers are being sent out by unions over possible strike action.
Multi-unions chair, Alan Coombs, said: "I think it goes to show how concerned people are about their pensions and what it means to them...and their families.
"They make plans for the future, for mortgages, for children going to college, based around what their pension is going to deliver for them."
Tata Steel has said its pension scheme is facing a financial shortfall, mainly due to people living longer.
It has been consulting with workers about replacing it with a "more balanced solution".
The company has said it will "consider employees' views" before making a final decision.
Tata has sites in Port Talbot, Llanwern in Newport, Shotton in Flintshire and Trostre, Carmarthenshire.
Duncan Haldane, 41, from Glasgow, was caught within seconds of entering the William Hill store in the city's Saracen Street on 14 December 2015.
He admitted the robbery bid and using a knife to rob £700 from Q Save Grocers, in the same street.
Haldane has previous convictions for theft, violence, drugs and firearms offences going back to 1991.
Jailing him at the High Court in Glasgow, judge Lord Bannatyne told Haldane: "These are matters which are terrifying for people in shops and the court have to protect shop workers."
Haldane was told that but for his early guilty plea he would have been jailed for seven and a half years.
The court heard that Haldane was wearing a mask when he walked into the William Hill bookmakers.
He did not notice police officers in hi-visibility yellow vests who were carrying out a licensed premises check at the time.
The court was shown CCTV of Haldane walking up to the counter.
He placed plastic bags under the screen and shouted at the employees working there: "Fill them up...or I pull this out".
The court was told that Haldane gestured towards his right hand which was still in the pocket of his hoodie, indicating that he had a weapon.
At that point, the police officers emerged from behind the counter, grabbed Haldane, put him on the ground and handcuffed him.
A search revealed he had no weapon.
The court was also told that Haldane was known to all the staff in the grocery shop he robbed.
His defence lawyer said the offences "occurred because of his involvement with drugs".
The move follows criticism of the use of police bail during Operation Yewtree - into historical sexual abuse - and other high-profile investigations.
The then Home Secretary Theresa May ordered a review of its use in 2014.
But professional body the College of Policing has criticised the change - saying it could lead to suspects being under investigation by one force without others knowing.
Police use pre-charge bail when they have questioned a suspect, but need time to continue their investigations before determining whether to charge them.
A suspect is released from custody, sometimes with conditions attached, and told to report back to a police station at a later date.
Previously, there was no legal limit on how long someone could be bailed for.
The 28-day limit is one of several measures taking effect on Monday through the Policing and Crime Act 2017.
The limit is designed to reduce the amount of time people spend on police bail and strengthen safeguards for suspects.
In a number of high-profile cases suspects were kept waiting for long periods of time before being told whether they would be charged.
In 2015, broadcaster Paul Gambaccini - who was once held on police bail for a year - backed the 28-day limit.
In 2013, Mr Gambaccini was arrested on suspicion of historical sexual abuse but the case against him was dropped.
The Home Office said the change "brings an end to the injustice of people being left to languish on very lengthy periods of pre-charge bail".
Home Secretary Amber Rudd said: "Pre-charge bail is a useful and necessary tool but in many cases it is being imposed on people for many months, or even years, without any judicial oversight - and that cannot be right.
"These important reforms will mean fewer people are placed on bail and for shorter periods.
"They will bring about much-needed safeguards - public accountability and independent scrutiny - while ensuring the police can continue to do their vital work."
Police bail can still be extended for up to three months more in complex cases with the authorisation of a senior police officer, or even further by applying to a magistrate.
David Tucker, crime lead at the College of Policing, said: "The new legislation is a significant change for policing and has sought to strike a balance between the need for police to manage investigations and not leaving a person suspected of a crime on bail for an unacceptably long period.
"We recognise this is a major change for policing and we are supporting our members by providing high-quality training materials to help them continue to manage investigations to bring criminals to justice and protect the public."
Brendan Rodgers' side reached the group stage following an 8-4 aggregate win over Astana.
Speaking before Thursday's draw, Griffiths said: "You wouldn't mind one of the big guns: Real Madrid, PSG, one of those.
"Every Celtic fan is sick of getting Barcelona, so we'll try to avoid them. But we're back in the big time."
Having beaten Astana 5-0 in Glasgow, Celtic lost Tuesday's return game 4-3 in Kazakhstan but progressed to the lucrative group stage.
Griffiths said Celtic would "relish the chance" to test themselves against the best sides in Europe.
They finished bottom of a group topped by Barcelona last season, having also met the Catalans on Champions League duty in 2013, 2012, 2008 and 2004.
Team-mate James Forrest said everyone at the club was "buzzing" at the prospect of six Champions League games this season.
"We're looking forward to the draw on Thursday," he said. "We've had Barcelona a couple of times in the last few years, it would be nice to get Real Madrid.
"With the away crowd that we get and the fans we take away from home... it's going to be six games to look forward to - the full squad and the staff will be buzzing."
Callum McGregor added: "Just anybody [in the draw]. you get some good games and we'll take whoever we get and hopefully get a good few games. Real Madrid would be nice - and a change from Barcelona."
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers wants the club to remain in European competition into the new year.
"It's a wonderful achievement to gain our qualification," said Rodgers. "It's a night to celebrate. What we would like to do is try to progress this year and be in European football after Christmas.
"We're coming into the highest club level - the Champions League - we're going to play against some fantastic players, the players are going to improve, get better, get better experiences.
"If we can be in European football after Christmas then that'll be another great step forward for us."
The Scottish champions will discover their group opponents on Thursday at 17:00 BST. They are expected to be in pot four, the bottom set of seeds.

Six sections, manufactured in Nottingham, make up the bridge, which is being erected as part of the Exe Estuary Trail.
Sections are being brought down the M5, bolted together at Exeter Quay and then floated on pontoons to the site, over the River Clyst at Topsham.
The bridge work, costing ??1.7m, will be completed within a few weeks.
The pieces are to be jacked into position using hydraulics, project managers said.
When completed, the trail will be about 26 miles (42km) long, linking Exmouth, Exeter and Dawlish.
It is being developed and constructed by Devon County Council as part of the National Cycle Network Route 2.
The EIS union said Colleges Scotland had turned down two offers of a meeting this week.
Lecturers across Scotland went on strike on Thursday in a dispute over pay and conditions and another strike is set for next week.
Colleges Scotland said it had not declined any meeting requests and had offered to hold talks next week.
Members of the EIS Further Education Lecturers' Association want to see more action taken to end differences in pay between colleges.
EIS general secretary Larry Flanagan said: "Despite Colleges Scotland repeating loudly in the press that they are 'always willing to talk', it is clear that they currently have absolutely no interest in engaging in discussions with EIS negotiators to resolve this dispute.
"The EIS offered to meet Colleges Scotland on Thursday. They declined. The EIS offered to meet Colleges Scotland today (Friday). They declined, while also seeking to impose pre-conditions on any future talks.
"These are not the actions of an organisation that is keen to resolve a dispute."
A spokesperson for the Colleges Scotland Employers' Association said the task of scheduling a further meeting was still in progress.
"Contrary to the EIS's statements, no meeting requests have been declined," said the spokesperson.
"At this stage, we have offered meet on Tuesday 2 May to continue discussions."
The dispute is over ways of evening out differences in pay and conditions across the country.
Some lecturers earn several thousand pounds less than others doing similar jobs at other institutions.
An agreement after a one-day strike last year was meant to deal with this. But the EIS argues no progress has been made since then.
Colleges Scotland believes it is impossible to separate the issue of pay from issues such as holiday entitlement and the length of time lecturers spend with students.
It believes the union's demands on these issues are unrealistic.
If the dispute is not settled, the union plans to gradually escalate industrial action.
By the middle of May, lecturers could be on strike for three days every week.
Further proposed strike dates are:

The world number one from Serbia broke serve three times to win 6-3 6-4 in 80 minutes at London's O2 Arena.
Djokovic also made amends for defeat by six-time champion Federer in the group stage on Tuesday.
"I am enjoying every moment on the court, I cherish every moment after dreaming of it as a kid," he said.
He ends the year with 11 titles including three Grand Slams, taking his total to 10 majors.
The 28-year-old has now won the season finale five times and surpasses Ivan Lendl's 1987 achievement, when he won his third straight Tour Finals title in New York.
Federer said: "It is never fun on the not winning side, but it is better than not playing at all like last year. This week was great, there were some crazy points tonight, but like plenty of times this year Novak deserved it."
The defeat by Federer on Tuesday had been his first indoors since 2012, but Djokovic responded in simply irresistible style as he despatched first Rafael Nadal and then, in the final, Federer.
It ended with a double fault as even the 17-time Grand Slam champion wilted under the pressure of such relentless accuracy from his opponent.
Aside from the trophy, another 1,300 ranking points and the cheque for £1.4m, Djokovic also draws level with Federer at 22-22 in career meetings.
The pair have shared 11 of the last 13 season-ending titles between them, but it is the Serb who now dominates.
Federer, 34, had been quick to play down the significance of his group-stage win and Djokovic did indeed prove a very different opponent in the final, just as he had at Wimbledon and the US Open.
The Swiss needed to be clinical but forehand and backhand errors saw him miss both break points in the first set, and Djokovic capitalised.
A brilliant cross-court backhand set up the top seed to break in game three, and Federer had racked up 16 errors by the time he was broken for a second time to drop the set.
The better part of 17,800 spectators urged on the Swiss as he kept pace in the second set, levelling at 3-3 with a shout of "Come on!", but Djokovic remained unmoved.
Winning a stunning 84% of points on his second serve as Federer failed to make a sustained assault, and after failing to convert from 0-40 in game eight, Djokovic clinched victory two games later.
Djokovic was within two sets of winning the calendar Grand Slam this year, losing out to an inspired Stan Wawrinka in the French Open final, but completing his set of majors will not be the only target for 2016.
"Roland Garros is always one of the biggest challenges I have every year, but it's not the only one," said the Serb.
"There are the Olympic Games that are happening every four years. Next year is going to be very condensed in terms of scheduling and in terms of the importance of certain events."
He continues to rise through the ranks of all-time greats and now lies four Grand Slam titles behind Nadal, and seven behind Federer.
"With the wins that I had this season and throughout my career, especially in the last five years, I put myself in a very good position, knowing that I made a lot of records and history," said Djokovic.
"I'm convinced with this dedication to the sport, I can achieve more. How much, I don't know. I don't have a sense of urgency. I don't chase anything. I just try to be in the moment and see where it takes me." | Novak Djokovic capped a remarkable season with victory over Roger Federer to claim a record fourth straight ATP World Tour Finals title. | 34,895,649 | 835 | 34 | false |
Parliament in French-speaking Wallonia voted to prevent Belgium's government from signing the draft deal.
EU trade ministers are to decide on Ceta next Tuesday. If they all approve it, the deal can be signed with Canada on 27 October.
Ceta is the EU's most ambitious trade deal to date, lifting most barriers.
Walloon leader Paul Magnette said he would "not give the full powers to the federal government" to back the deal.
The EU has agreed that parts of Ceta will be implemented before all national parliaments have voted on it.
Opponents fear that Ceta will be used as a model to push through an even more controversial EU-US trade deal, called TTIP, much of which remains to be negotiated.
The activists argue that Ceta and similar deals put job security and social welfare at risk, in a global "race to the bottom" that serves the interests of a wealthy elite.
European Parliament briefing on Ceta
A Canadian government trade spokesman, Alex Lawrence, told the BBC that Ceta "remains a top priority for Canada" and "we are still working with our partners in Europe to conclude this agreement".
"This is a progressive deal. If Europe is unable to sign a progressive trade deal with a country like Canada, this will send a clear and unfortunate signal," he said.
Canadian envoy Pierre Pettigrew will meet Mr Magnette later on Friday, he said.
"We are working hard with our European partners so Ceta can be signed this fall and implemented next year."
Some British politicians see Ceta as a good basis for a post-Brexit UK trade deal with the EU. The UK can vote for Ceta while it remains a full EU member.
Ceta does not involve EU-style free movement of labour. But for services - 80% of the UK economy - the Ceta terms are less favourable than those they have now.
Would Ceta be a good model for the UK?
It was while I was making my last BBC TV series, The Code, that I bumped into a neuroscientist I knew.
"Have you heard the news about Watson?" he asked me.
I wasn't quite sure what he was referring to. A new release of Sherlock Holmes? I looked confused.
"Watson beat the world champions at Jeopardy last night," he added.
Jeopardy is an American television quiz show which tests general knowledge. But I could not understand why a professor of the brain was interested in it.
But then he revealed that Watson was not a person, but a computer. Watson's triumph, he believed, represented a hugely significant moment for the field of artificial intelligence (AI).
A series of challenges have been suggested to test if a computer can match the human mind:
Ever since Alan Turing's seminal paper back in 1950 asking whether machines could ever think, scientists have been striving to create machines that can rival our intelligence.
There are a series of challenges that many in the AI community regard as key hurdles that need to be cleared on the way to realising Turing's dream.
And getting a computer to beat the best the world has to offer at the quiz show Jeopardy is one of them.
That may seem a ridiculously trivial goal, but actually at its heart is something the human brain does extremely well.
Take the quiz question: "What element, atomic number 27, can precede 'blue' & 'green'?"
The human brain is able to negotiate natural language and quickly tap into the huge database stored in our memory to retrieve the answer "cobalt".
Computers have become increasingly good at this skill. You just have to think how search engines now seem to know exactly what you are looking for despite minimal input from you.
But tweaking the mathematical algorithms that run these search engines to demolish the world champions of Jeopardy marked the moment when computer intelligence left human intelligence in its wake when it comes to accessing information.
And that is not the first time computers have met a key test of AI. Back in 1999, IBM's supercomputer Deep Blue beat the reigning world chess champion Gary Kasparov.
Requiring deep logical analysis of the implications of each chess move, this was perhaps the easiest of the goals for a computer to achieve. Logical thinking is what a computer does best.
The benchmark for the success of AI that Turing suggested in his original paper of 1950 was about communication.
If you were talking online with a person and a computer, could you distinguish which was the computer?
Since we can only assess the intelligence of our fellow humans by our interaction with them, if a computer can pass itself off as human, should we then call it intelligent?
There are some very good candidates out there that are getting close to passing The Turing Test, including this one,cleverbot.
Interestingly this hurdle is more and more being regarded by those in the field of AI as a red herring.
Even if a computer passes the test, it does not mean it understands anything of the interaction.
In fact I was recently put through a thought experiment called The Chinese Room devised by philosopher John Searle, which challenges the idea that a machine could ever think.
I was put in a room with an instruction manual which told me an appropriate response to any string of Chinese characters posted into the room.
Although I do not speak Mandarin, it was shown I could have a very convincing discussion with a Mandarin speaker without ever understanding a word of my responses.
Searle compared the man in "The Chinese Room" to a computer reading a bit of code. I didn't understand the Mandarin so how could a computer be said to understand what it is programmed to do.
It's a powerful argument against the relevance of Turing's test. But then again, what is my mind doing when I'm articulating words now?
Aren't I just following a set of instructions? Could there still be a threshold beyond which we would have to regard the computer as understanding Mandarin?
Probably the biggest challenge for AI is to match the human ability to process visual information.
Computers are still miles away from getting anywhere near how amazing the human brain is at taking in and interpreting visual images.
Just think about those warped words that you are asked to type when a website wants to confirm it is interacting with a real person rather than an automated attack which could spam the system.
It is a curious reverse-Turing test where the computer is now trying to distinguish between a human and a machine.
Humans are able to unravel the warped-looking letters while a computer is incapable of pulling the mess apart.
It's a striking example of just how bad computers are at processing visuals. It's not just the AI community that regard this as a central challenge in realising artificial intelligence.
Given the number of CCTV cameras that are watching our every move, security firms would love to crack this conundrum. Currently they still have to employ humans rather than computers to monitor the images and pick up on any suspicious behaviour.
Computers tend to read a picture pixel by pixel and find it hard to integrate the information.
It seems that we are still a long way from creating a machine that can rival the 1.5kg of grey matter between our ears. But we should remember that it did take us millions of years of evolution to realise the extraordinary machine that is our human brain.

It comes amid a Ugandan ban on the recruitment of maids to work in Saudi Arabia after accusations that workers have been mistreated.
The women were staying in a government-run shelter in Riyadh because they did not have money to pay for a flight.
The shelter is for people who have run away from their employers and illegal workers caught by immigration services.
A statement from the Ugandan Embassy in Saudi Arabia said that they found 24 women from Uganda at the shelter in the Saudi capital.
After visiting the shelter, Ugandan ambassador Rachid Yahya Ssemuddu said that "most of the cases involved human trafficking".
"Many of the young girls were brought to Saudi Arabia on promises that could not be met by those recruiting them," he said.
The Philippines, Indonesia and Ethiopia have also banned domestic workers from travelling to Saudi Arabia after reports of abuse.
In efforts to improve working conditions, the Ugandan embassy said it had employed a private company to monitor Ugandan migrant workers.
It was using an internet-based system that would ensure that only licensed Saudi employment agencies recruited Ugandan workers in future.
The poor treatment and abuse of maids in the Middle East is a familiar tale. Benjamin Dix and Lindsay Pollock tell the disturbing story of a young Ethiopian woman who took a job as a domestic help in Saudi Arabia but was treated like a slave.

The device, produced by Bullitt Group, takes its name and looks from Kodak's 1941 Ektra camera.
The Eastman Kodak company invented digital photography in the 1970s, but was outpaced by rivals after it decided to focus on its film business instead. The company exited the digital camera market in 2012.
"There is no doubting Kodak's heritage as a photography brand. The challenge is whether it remains relevant to the Instagram generation who have grown up in the era of digital photography," said Ben Wood of the CCS Insight consultancy.
"Bullitt will be hoping it can revive the Kodak brand as a cool retro product offering. That's a tough challenge, particularly when most smartphones already have a great camera," he told the BBC.
BBC Click's Lara Lewington was one of the first to get hands-on with the camera.

The title pacesetters would always be able to recover from a bad result - but how would they cope with the exclusion of their firebrand top scorer after a training ground bust-up and suggestions of interest from China?
Chelsea gave their answer with an impressive 3-0 win at Leicester City that, combined with the weekend's other results, put them firmly back in control of their Premier League destiny.
So, after 21 games and another weekend of significant matches, how are the top six clubs shaping up?
Form: Won 14 out of past 15.
Upcoming fixtures: 22 January - Hull (home), 31 January - Liverpool (away), 4 February - Arsenal (home).
Conte will have demanded an instant Premier League response from his team after that 2-0 loss at White Hart Lane, which he rightly placed in context by pointing out it was inflicted by a quality side with title aspirations of their own.
The wildcard was provided by the sudden falling out with influential striker Costa that provided an unexpected backdrop to Saturday's events at the King Power Stadium and gave the first hint of dissent in Chelsea and Conte's camp this season.
In the end, the Italian boss was given the opportunity to prove the versatility and flexibility of his squad in Costa's absence as Willian, Eden Hazard and Pedro provided the attacking threat.
In the absence of any suggestion Blues owner Roman Abramovich will bow to pressure to sell in January, the priority now is to get the combustible Spain striker back on side and ensure any unrest does not spread.
If that can be done, then Chelsea can look back at a weekend where their title position was strengthened as they now stand seven points clear.
Verdict: Back on track and clear title favourites.
Form: Won past six.
Upcoming fixtures: 21 January - Manchester City (away), 31 January - Sunderland (away), 4 February - Middlesbrough (home).
Mauricio Pochettino's side are a growing force in this title race and the 4-0 demolition of West Bromwich Albion was further evidence of their growing authority.
It was their sixth straight league win since their loss at Manchester United in December - and they have only lost two games out of 21.
Harry Kane is firing on all cylinders, shown by his hat-trick against West Brom, and with Dele Alli scoring seven goals in his past five league games Spurs are starting to look the full package.
They ran out of steam towards the end of last season, but Pochettino is a top-class operator who will surely have learned his lesson and tailored his team's intense style accordingly.
The Argentine will still hope to avoid injuries and there is a real worry over influential defender Jan Vertonghen, who Pochettino fears has suffered a "bad" ankle injury.
Next weekend's game at Manchester City will tell us even more about them.
Verdict: Flew under the radar for a while but now right at the heart of the title race.
Form: One defeat in past 19.
Upcoming fixtures: 21 January - Swansea (home), 31 January - Chelsea (home), 4 February - Hull (away).
Liverpool will be disappointed they could not hold on for victory at Manchester United on Sunday, but there is plenty of encouragement to take from their performance.
The disappointment will come because they were within six minutes of securing a win that would not only have inflicted even more damage on United, but also would have sent a strong message to those nearer the top of the table.
It is to the Reds' credit that they came so close to victory despite key men such as Philippe Coutinho still not fit enough to start, Nathaniel Clyne out with a rib injury and Joel Matip sidelined because of confusion surrounding his absence from Cameroon's Africa Cup Of Nations squad.
Manager Jurgen Klopp rightly believes they are still in a strong position but will surely be frustrated that Zlatan Ibrahimovic's late goal means Chelsea stretched their advantage to seven points.
Verdict: Remain title contenders but top four would still be fine achievement.
Form: Unbeaten in past four.
Upcoming fixtures: 22 January - Burnley (home), 31 January - Watford (home), 4 February - Chelsea (away).
Arsenal's win at Swansea City could not have been more convincing and they have responded well to successive losses at Everton and Manchester City, when they conceded winning positions and showed the vulnerability that has haunted them for seasons.
Even at the Liberty Stadium on Saturday they made a slow start, but it is hard to argue with a 4-0 away win.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger wants the Gunners to stay in the title shake-up until the closing stages - and they are certainly doing that so far.
Are they, however, potential Premier League winners? They cannot be ruled out but it is hard to see where they will pick up the points to haul in Chelsea.
Verdict: In the mix as their manager demands, but will a soft centre let them down?
Form: Two defeats in past three.
Upcoming fixtures: 21 January - Tottenham (home), 1 February - West Ham (away), 5 February - Swansea (home).
Manager Pep Guardiola effectively wrote off Manchester City's title challenge after they were giving a thorough working over and beaten 4-0 at Everton.
City now face a fight to finish in the top four with a side seemingly physically weak, riddled with defensive frailty and a goalkeeper in Claudio Bravo who hardly ever seems to save a shot. Failure to make next season's Champions League would represent a catastrophe in the Spaniard's first season.
And this is Guardiola's responsibility after he shipped out England keeper Joe Hart on loan to Torino. Out of the past 22 shots Bravo has faced, 14 have been goals.
Only five teams have a lower haul than City's tally of four clean sheets and they have conceded from the first shot they have faced in four of their past seven games.
The problems are there for all to see, although Guardiola has so far done little to correct the faults.
City have suffered two damaging defeats on Merseyside in recent weeks - and do not look like a side who have the slightest chance of making up a 10-point deficit on Chelsea.
Verdict: Forget the title. Manchester City are in a top-four fight now.
Form: Unbeaten in past 12.
Upcoming fixtures: 21 January - Stoke (away), 1 February - Hull (home), 5 February - Leicester (away).
Manchester United are showing definite signs of improvement under manager Jose Mourinho, but like neighbours City their fight is now for the top four rather than the title.
They could have closed to within two points of Liverpool with victory at Old Trafford on Sunday, but 12 points is surely an impossible gap to breach between United and Chelsea.
United have drawn seven league games - including five at home - and the simple fact is they have squandered too many points to make up the deficit.
Mourinho is definitely moving United forward, but not fast enough to make them title contenders this season.
Verdict: Top four should be the target. The title is now out of reach.
A total of 5,000 squirrel-watchers are required across England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Volunteers will help protect resident squirrel populations.
Researchers say the species remains under threat because of disease and competition for food from larger grey squirrels, from north America.
This army of volunteers led by the Wildlife Trusts will focus on nine "red squirrel strongholds".
At each of these woodland sites, volunteers will be asked to monitor the animals, and to set up motion sensitive cameras for continuous, detailed surveys.
Squirrel-watchers will also be asked to look out for the larger, much more common grey squirrels, so that where they are encroaching on the reds' habitat, they can be culled.
A pox virus, carried by the greys and usually deadly to native reds, is largely blamed for the nationwide crash in the red squirrel population since the 1950s.
In the Pine forests of Scotland, the native species is faring better, with a population that appears to be increasing.
But having dedicated volunteers in these nine pockets of habitat, according to Wildlife Trusts ecologist Dr Cathleen Thomas, will be key to ensuring that this "icon" of the countryside doesn't disappear from the rest of Britain in the next few decades.
"We've seen a great deal of success, and numbers of reds increasing, where we have had dedicated groups of volunteers, so we want to co-ordinate that on a national scale," she told BBC News.
Controlling numbers of the greys, she added, was central to that success.
"It's not that we value the life of one species over another," Dr Thomas said. "But the ecosystem here evolved with the reds."
She added that the greys were "quite damaging" - their habit of gnawing bark can damage and kill trees, and the food they take can impact other wildlife, including birds and dormice.
The new tournament will involve 20 teams, rather than 24, with six from the Aviva Premiership, six from the French Top 14 and seven from the Pro12.
The final place will be decided by a play-off.
Unrest over the future of the Heineken Cup began in June 2012, when the English and French clubs announced they would quit, unhappy with qualification, revenue distribution and governance.
Soon after, Premiership Rugby signed a TV deal with BT, while ERC extended its deal with Sky.
In October 2013, the English and French clubs announced they were setting up the Rugby Champions Cup, which had the support of the Welsh regions. When the French clubs pulled out, an Anglo-Welsh league was at one stage a distinct possibility.
For much of the last year prospects looked bleak, but this new agreement secures European club competition for at least eight years.
A new European Rugby Challenge Cup will replace the second-tier Amlin Cup and a new third-tier cup will be introduced, called the Qualifying Competition.
Bill Beaumont, chairman of English governing body the Rugby Football Union, said: "We are very pleased that the challenges off the pitch are concluded so we can enjoy the joys of the game on it, creating more unforgettable memories for players and fans alike."
His views were echoed by officials throughout the European game, with Welsh Rugby Union chief executive, Roger Lewis saying he is "delighted that we can all move forward with a clear and agreed structure in place for European competition from next season".
The heads of agreement - the principles behind the deal - were signed by the nine parties involved on Thursday, bringing an end to a two-year saga.
The signatories are the unions from the Six Nations countries, plus the club bodies for England, France and Wales.
Mark McCafferty, the chief executive of Premiership Rugby, described it as a "historic day for European club rugby", adding that the parties involved "had worked hard to get to this point and the uncertainty is now over".
International Rugby Board chairman Bernard Lapasset said the new competition meant both players and fans could "look forward to a strong competition structure that promotes and celebrates the best of the European game".
And Ian Ritchie, chief executive of the RFU, added: "This equitable, long-term agreement will provide the platform for rugby union to continue to expand across Europe, increasing interest and involvement in the game at all levels."
The tournaments will be headed by European Professional Club Rugby, a new Swiss-based association, which will replace current organisers European Rugby Cup (ERC).
English Premiership clubs withdrew from ERC in June 2012, and have long advocated changes to the present tournament, the Heineken Cup.

Pro12 representation is cut from its current 10 teams, with one guaranteed representative from Ireland, Italy, Scotland and Wales and the other three places being decided on league position.
ERC chief executive Derek McGrath confirmed he will stand down from his role in October 2014 following the decision.
The issue of who will broadcast the new competitions has been a source of contention but BT Sport and Sky have reached an agreement to share coverage.
The dusky thrush was seen at the Dukes Barn activity centre in Beeley, Derbyshire, on Monday by resident Rachel Jones whose subsequent social media post was spotted by twitchers.
Experts believe the bird, which breeds in central Siberia, was blown to Britain by "strong easterly winds".
Hundreds more people are expected to flock to the centre on Tuesday.
Updates on this story and more from Derbyshire
Colin Higginson, who is the manager of the centre - which is a charity that helps children with disabilities - said he has "never seen anything like it" and claimed one person had flown from Belgium to see the bird.
Birdwatcher Philip Garnett drove to the centre on Tuesday morning from Bolton to catch a glimpse of the bird.
He said: "I've been to Asia about 20 times and have never seen one. It's so rare."
Nick Brown, wildlife enquiries officer at the Derbyshire Wildlife Trust, said this is the 12th time the dusky thrush has been seen in Britain - though some twitchers claimed it is the 13th time the bird has been seen on these shores.
Mr Brown said: "There were a lot of easterly winds in October that blew a lot of birds that should have flown south, westward.
"Normally migration is in October and finishes in November, so this bird has probably been here for a while.
"The bird breeds in Siberia and they look like a redwing. It is about the size of a blackbird.
"It tends to eat berries. Once the berries dry up it'll probably just disappear after a while. It may try to go south as it has this instinct to go south in the autumn."

The United States won gold for their third consecutive women's team title, while China took silver.
The Americans produced an error-free performance on the four apparatus of vault, uneven bars, beam and floor to score 181.338 points.
China accumulated 176.164 points, with Great Britain scoring 172.380.
The British team of Becky Downie, Ruby Harrold, Amy Tinkler, Claudia Fragapane, Ellie Downie and Kelly Simm were out of the medals going into their final vault apparatus.
But three terrific vaults by Claudia Fragapane, Amy Tinkler and Ellie Downie helped GB leapfrog Russia, who put in patchy beam and floor performances.
The younger Downie sister's final vault of 15.133 came after she fell off her first apparatus on uneven bars.
The 16-year-old, though, regained her composure to score well on beam and floor before her decisive vault under pressure.
"It was an amazing experience, it was so nice to be able to achieve this success in front of a home crowd as well," said her sister Becky, 23.
"It just makes it that much more special for us all to know how much it means to the supporters. The future for British Gymnastics is really exciting, so we have a lot to look forward to."
Tinkler, another World Championships debutant - and celebrating her 16th birthday - also showed incredible maturity on both floor and vault.
Fragapane (floor, beam and vault), Becky Downie (bars and beam) and Ruby Harrold (bars) also made important contributions.
GB women's previous World Championships team best was fifth in Tokyo in 2011.
On Wednesday, Britain's men will compete in their team final, having qualified third.
Houghton, 21, who has agreed a new deal at Stamford Bridge until 2018, has scored one goal in 27 games for Rovers.
May, 23, has signed a two-and-a-half year contract at the Keepmoat.
"It is a big step, but I feel confident I can play in League Two," May told the club website.

Christopher Hannah is also charged with causing injury by dangerous driving and other road traffic offences.
He made no plea and was remanded in custody.
Sophie Brannan died following what was described by police as a hit and run incident in the Maryhill area of Glasgow on Friday.
Her 10-year-old friend and 36-year-old Joseph Lloyd were also injured in the incident.
Mr Hannah is expected to appear in court again next Wednesday.
Police said the "virtually uninhabitable" Prestatyn home stank of rotten food, faeces and cigarettes.
The mother, 39, who cannot be named, admitted three counts of neglect at Llandudno Magistrates' Court in July.
On Tuesday, she was given a 16-week prison sentence, suspended for 12 months.
Magistrates issued a warrant for the children's father, who faces identical charges, after hearing he was seriously ill in hospital.
Prosecutor James Neary said police were first alerted by one of the father's relatives, who arranged for the woman to be taken to hospital by ambulance after finding her ill in bed.
Magistrates were shown footage taken from police body cameras as officers moved from room to room in almost total darkness, as there were no lights.
There was broken glass and drug-related items on the floor, dried blood on the ceiling and the bedclothes on a cot were soiled.
Police had to tread on bags of rubbish as they moved through the home.
"The children would have had to navigate their way through all of that in the dark," said Mr Neary.
The court heard the mother spent weeks in hospital recovering from septicaemia and, when interviewed, she said she had been ill for a fortnight and was unable to get out of bed when her condition deteriorated.
When shown photographs of the living conditions, she became upset and accepted she should have gone to hospital sooner and ensured the children were cared for.
Chris Dawson, defending, said: "She was not well enough to look after herself, let alone the children."
He said she had been prosecuted on the basis of what might have happened, as the children had not been adversely affected.
Since her discharge from hospital she had been free of drugs, he said.
Chairman of the magistrates' bench, Paul Kinsey, said the children had been put at a "high risk".
The mother was also ordered to undergo drug testing and to pay costs of £120 along with an £80 surcharge.
Castleford led 12-10 at the break with Jake Webster going over twice, while O'Brien and Michael Dobson grabbed the hosts' scores.
Luke Dorn added a third Tigers effort, before Webster became the third Castleford player forced off injured.
Mason Caton-Brown's try and the boot of O'Brien sealed victory.
Castleford's fourth Super League defeat in five games leaves them seventh in the table and needing at least one win from their remaining three regular season games to seal a spot in the Super 8s.
For Salford, a side that owner Marwan Koukash admits have been a failure since his takeover in 2013, the win moves them up to ninth and to within four points of eighth-placed Widnes, who face bottom-side Leeds Rhinos on Sunday.
The Red Devils next take their fight to the court room, when their appeal against a six-point deduction for breaching salary cap regulations in 2014 and 2015 is heard on Wednesday.
On the field, they left their fight back late against a gritty Castleford side that lost winger Joel Monaghan to injury inside five minutes.
Despite the setback Webster opened the scoring for Tigers with a bustling run, only for O'Brien to respond in similar fashion and Dobson to put Salford ahead with a try on his 200th Super League appearance.
Dorn produced a fine one-handed offload inside to put Webster over again before the break and then went in himself after the interval.
However, with forward Mike McMeeken followed off the field by Webster, Salford eventually managed to overcome the stubborn visitors.
Salford head coach Ian Watson:
"It's always been our aim to get in the top eight and while it's still possible, we want to keep aiming there. We feel we should be there in our own right.
"Obviously it's a big week for us because we've got the hearing to see if we get the points back or not.
"Gaz [O'Brien] is quite a relaxed character and, in situations where you need him, he generally comes up with the goods. We've a great bunch of guys who are very competitive and we give ourselves a chance in every game.
"We just needed to learn to manage the game better and today I thought we managed it really well. We've executed really well and come through the other side, which is a big one for us."
Castleford head coach Daryl Powell:
"It's another tight one where we've come out the wrong side of the scoreline. I thought we should have won, to be honest, but it was a pretty courageous effort based on what happened to us.
"To lose your starting back row, a centre and winger makes it really hard. We had one sub for a fair chunk of the game and ended up with Larne Patrick in the centres.
"I think we've got to be a bit more durable under pressure. We've just got to stick together and dig in. We've got three games left before the split and some real tough ones."
On links to former player Rangi Chase coming back to Wheldon Road:
"It's speculation. I haven't anything to say about it."
Salford Red Devils: O'Brien; Caton-Brown, J Griffin, Sa'u, Johnson; Lui, Dobson; Kopczak, Tomkins, G Griffin, Murdoch-Masila, Jones, Flanagan.
Replacements: Hauraki, J Walne, Kenny, A Walne.
Castleford Tigers: Dorn; Monaghan, Crooks, Webster, Flynn; T Holmes, Gale; Tickle, McShane, Patrick, Moors, McMeeken, Massey.
Replacements: Milner, Millington, O Holmes, Springer.

The Significant Case Review was launched after the two-and-a-half year old's mother Rachel Fee and her partner Nyomi Fee were convicted of murder.
He was killed at his home in Thornton, near Glenrothes, Fife, in March 2014.
The report said his carers were "manipulative, devious and hindered services".
The review by Dr Jacqueline Mok said they used "disguised compliance" to play one professional against another.
Rachel Fee, or Trelfa, now 32, and her civil partner Nyomi Fee, 31, had denied killing Liam, blaming his death on one of two other young boys also in their care.
They were convicted of murder and a catalogue of abuse towards Liam and other children, including imprisoning one in a home-made cage and tying another naked to a chair in a dark room with snakes and rats.
Liam was found dead with heart injuries similar to those found on road crash victims after a severe blunt force trauma to his chest and abdomen.
Pathologists found more than 30 external injuries on the toddler's body and fractures to his upper arm and thigh.
Independent chair of Fife's Child Protection Committee Alan Small said: "Rachel Trelfa (Fee) and Nyomi Fee not only took the life of their child, but did their best to hinder the services that were there to help him.
"We deeply regret that our services did not do more to support Liam, and potentially prevent the tragic outcome of this case."
He said the review painted a picture of services that struggled to see through the actions of "devious and manipulative parents".
"There were missed opportunities across services to intervene and provide support to the family and services are aware that they could have done better to support Liam."
One of the questions raised by the case of Liam Fee has been "could anyone have saved him?"
That was the main aim of the significant case review.
The answer quite clearly says there were missed opportunities to provide support for the family.
Yes, the review says, Liam's mother and her partner were manipulative, devious and hindered services.
But the report, whose findings raise significant criticisms of Fife Council's social work department, says there was a "lack of professional curiosity".
Explanations provided by the mother and her partner were, at times, accepted without challenge.
It adds that insufficient attention was paid to existing available information, which was neither reviewed nor considered before decisions were taken.
Among professionals who dealt with the family, there was inadequate understanding of the roles and responsibilities of other agencies, it says.
There was no clear understanding who was in charge of the case.
The council says that since 2014, significant improvements have been made across all services.
But Liam Fee's name remains on a tragic list of children failed by the system, whose deaths also led to inquiries which came up with very similar conclusions.
The report said two important opportunities for assessment and intervention were missed.
The first was when a social worker and a police officer police officer attended the house in early 2013 after a report from his childminder.
She was concerned the toddler was being hurt by someone.
Liam's mother and her partner were said to have given a "plausible explanation" that he bumped his head.
This led to the conclusion that no crime had been committed because the explanation fitted the injury seen.
The report says further work could have been done with the childminder to help provide a more comprehensive assessment.
During the second investigation, the child's nursery raised concerns about Liam "pinching himself".
Abuse was suspected but the medical opinion was not definitive.
The clinicians accepted the mother's explanation that he was self-harming.
The report said that for professionals to have accepted the mother's explanation that the injuries were self-inflicted, without further robust enquiries, led to an "incomplete assessment".
It also said that Liam's weight loss was not recognised at the medical examination and child abuse and neglect were not considered.
The review concludes: "Had all the concerns been taken into account, the balance of probability would have led to the conclusion that the injuries and concerns were likely to be the result of abuse."
August 2011 - Liam Fee is born in Ryton, about eight miles west of Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
December 2011 - His mother Rachel Trelfa, as she was then, and Nyomi Fee move after Rachel leaves baby Liam's father.
Early 2012 - The couple stay in a Travelodge at first and then move to a house at Thornton near Glenrothes.
June 2012 - The pair enter into a civil partnership, with Rachel taking her partner's name
January 2013 - Liam is assigned a case worker at Fife social work after reports from his childminder on numerous injuries. A police officer and a social worker visit the family and accept Trelfa and Fee's "plausible explanation" that he bumped his head.
April 2013 - Liam's case worker goes off sick and no-one else is assigned to monitor the family.
June 2013 - Social work become involved again when the nursery raises concerns about Liam "pinching himself". Police and social work take the view that they are not adult marks, but there are still "concerns".
22 March 2014 - Liam dies in a bedroom of the family home.
The review said Rachel and Nyomi Fee's engagements with child care service were complex.
Sometimes they would engage and often they would not.
They would frequently change appointments and received positive reports whenever a visit was "pre-arranged".
The review said they used "disguised compliance", welcoming offers of help and support but never taking them up.
Reacting to the review, Child Protection Committees Scotland (CPCS) said it was a stark reminder that inter-agency communications and reporting systems may not always link up or talk to each other effectively to assess and manage risk.
However, David Cumming of the CPCS said abusive parents or carers could be "manipulative, devious and covert" which made the job of child protection officials very difficult.
He said: "Failures within child protection systems may be compounded in cases where a child's parents or carers go to great lengths to conceal the abuse of the children in their care, or provide seemingly valid reasons for things like injury, unusual behaviour or weight loss.
"This misreporting and concealment is what we call 'disguised compliance', and it can be very difficult for professionals from different agencies to join the dots when abusive parents are very clever at hiding or explaining away their actions."
Joanna Barrett, acting national head for NSPCC Scotland, the failings and missed opportunities highlighted by the review were "highly disturbing".
She said: "For example, it is extremely worrying that a child as vulnerable as Liam was able to fall off the radar because a member of staff had gone off sick and no-one else was assigned his case until even more concerns were raised.
"It's vital that the necessary improvements are made to prevent other children from suffering as Liam did before his murder - his short life scarred by neglect, abuse and violence at the hands of those who should have been caring for him."
They have now had a few days to examine data transmitted from the vehicle as it made its historic touchdown on Monday (GMT).
The analysis indicates that all events in the entry, descent and landing (EDL) sequence occurred at, or very close to, their predicted times.
Curiosity put down just 2.4km from the targeted point on the planet's surface.
This was on the flat floor of Gale Crater, a deep depression on Mars' equator.
Most of the data recorded by Curiosity's onboard inertial sensors has yet to be downlinked to Earth, but even the small fraction of information that is in the possession of engineers has allowed them to reconstruct the key moments of the landing sequence.
"Right now we've only got about 1MB of data - that's less than a camera phone picture," explained Allen Chen, the EDL operations lead at Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL).
"That's the data that was sent back via [the satellites] Mars Odyssey and Mars Reconnaissance Oribter (MRO) on the landing night.
"That 1MB of data was intended to help us figure out what happened in case we failed. All the events that we saw during EDL happened within five to 10 seconds of the expectations. This was a very nominal EDL - very few surprises, everything went well," he told BBC News.
The time from touching the top of the atmosphere to touching the surface was seven minutes and 12 seconds - very close to a round "seven minutes of terror", which was the phrase used to describe the difficulties of EDL.
Curiosity's protective capsule entered the top of the atmosphere moving at Mach 24 (24 times the speed of sound), and took 3.5 minutes to slow to Mach 2 and get ready to deploy its parachute.
Most of the energy of entry was dissipated in the form of heat as the front shield pushed up against the Martian air.
"We pulled a little over 11 Earth gs (gravitational force). So if you were a human riding onboard, it would have been a bit of a rough ride. But, fortunately, Curiosity is made of some pretty sturdy stuff and she handled that just fine," said EDL team member Gavin Mendock from Nasa's Johnson Space Center.
The best data on just how well the parachute performed is probably the picture of the canopy acquired by the overflying MRO satellite.
Times for signal reception at Earth on Monday 6 August (GMT)
This extraordinary image shows the chute gently lowering the rover, which by that stage was still tucked away inside the backshell of its capsule.
"It's got its inflated shape perfectly," said Devin Kipp, another EDL team member from JPL.
"You can see the dark area at the top which is the vent that allows some air to escape. The shape is exactly what we expected to see. And you don't see any apparent damage. There are no holes visible; there's no tearing visible."
The final phase of EDL saw the rover drop out of the backshell and ride its rocket-powered crane to the ground.
After spooling Curiosity to the surface on nylon cables, this crane then retreated to the rear of the vehicle and crashed at the safe distance of 600m.
Remarkably, the engineers think they can see the dust plume from this impact in low-resolution pictures taken by Curiosity just 40 seconds after touchdown.
The plume appears as a smudge in the thumbnail images, explained Steve Sell, the JPL team member responsible for the powered flight phase of the rover's descent.
"The evidence we have that this is something that we've caused is the fact that the same camera took another image 45 minutes later - that artefact is not there. And we do know the artefact is real because it appears in multiple hazcam images from the rear of the rover," he said.
Gale Crater: Geological 'sweet shop'
Curiosity had a slight error (250m) in its understanding of where it was as it entered the atmosphere, but two main reasons are being given for why it overshot the bulls-eye by 2.4km.
One is errors that arose as a result of a late steering manoeuvre by the capsule intended to correct the course of the descent. This banking manoeuvre lifted the vehicle slightly and sent it long. The second is suspected to be tail winds which pushed Curiosity further down range than expected.
Nonetheless, there is huge satisfaction that the landing system performed as well as it did, and there is high confidence that given the opportunity again, the accuracy of landing could be improved still further.
"We flew this right down the middle. It's absolutely incredible to have worked on a plan for so many years and then just see everything happen exactly as it should," said Steve Sell.

Sixty years ago the North Sea battered the east coast of England, surging two miles inland.
It was caused by a high spring tide, low pressure and exceptionally strong northerly gales.
The surge cost 307 lives in English coastal towns and villages. Many more died on the continent and at sea.
The Princess Royal attended a service at Chelmsford Cathedral to mark the anniversary, where she was introduced to guests connected with the Great Flood.
The service brought together survivors from Essex and further afield, including representatives from the Netherlands where 1,800 people were killed.
During the service, the horror on Canvey Island was re-enacted by children from a theatre workshop and three candles representing the lives lost in Britain, the Netherlands and Belgium were lit.
Smaller acts of remembrance took place across Lincolnshire, Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex.
Shirley Orchard was 16 and living on Canvey Island with her father, mother and nine-year-old sister. She has a vivid memory of the disaster.
She said: "We lived across a road which ended in Small Gains Creek where a lot of people lived in houseboats and we could hear them all screaming. We were lucky to have an upstairs room and were high enough to be above the water.
"My father had a general store and I worked there with him. It was the worst hit shop on the island as the water went in one end and out the other and damaged a lot of the stock.
"I did have a cry when I heard the story about the baby found floating in her pram.
"The mother and father, as well as being friends of mine, were also customers in the shop.
"The last person I served that day was the mother of the baby and it was very sad as they had tried for seven years for a baby.
"They were both found dead sitting huddled up together just below from where they had left the baby.
"I remember we were taken off the island by army truck in the middle of the night."
In Hunstanton, Norfolk, a smaller event was held to honour the late Reis Leming, the first non-Briton to win the George Medal for bravery in peacetime.
The American airman, who died in November aged 81, became the hero of the hour when the floods struck by single-handedly rescuing 27 people, despite not being able to swim.
His widow, Kathy Leming, travelled to the town from Oregon in the US along with his daughter, Debra and son, Michael, who wore his father's flying jacket.
Mrs Leming said: "It's just amazing to me that this community values him so much.
"To me he was just the normal man I lived with for 40 years. But I come here and I see his name everywhere and it is really touching."
A bus was named in his honour before a procession along the town's seafront and an unveiling of a new Reis Leming Way street sign by his family.
About 24,000 homes were damaged and more than 30,000 people moved to safety during the floods, which affected 1,000 miles of British coast.
More than 177 were lost at sea in fishing boats and more than 130 on the ferry Princess Victoria, which was sailing between Scotland and Ireland when it sank.
Thomas, 29, and Martin, 26, join on free transfers after leaving Birmingham City and Coventry City respectively.
Both players have signed two-year contracts at the club, who finished second in League Two last term.
Ex-Bournemouth striker Thomas worked under U's manager Michael Appleton in spells at Blackpool and Portsmouth.
"Knowing a manager and knowing that he knows me as a player sort of made up my mind," Thomas told BBC Radio Oxford.
Ex-Southampton centre-back Martin added: "It ticked a lot of boxes for me, especially with the way the club is going.
"Looking at Burton Albion last year, it goes to show exactly what a club like this can do and there's no reason why we also cannot go up again."
Appleton made former Blackburn goalkeeper Simon Eastwood his first summer signing on Thursday.

The 25-year-old man was on his parents' property in Sydney when he plunged into dense bushland late on Sunday night, sparking a complex rescue operation.
He was winched to safety almost five hours later and treated for shoulder and chest injuries, paramedics said. The man remains in a stable condition.
New South Police Sergeant Peter McMaugh said it was remarkable the man was alive.
"Police and paramedics were able to abseil to the man and administer first aid," Sgt McMaugh told Sydney's Daily Telegraph.
"Firefighters have had to trek through bushland. The terrain is very rough, making it complicated for rescuers and difficult to traverse.
"The male is very lucky at this stage that his injuries are not life-threatening."
Police said the backyard of the Bonnet Bay property, in Sydney's south, backed on to the rock face.
A lawyer representing Christine Jiaxin Lee, 21, said she had spent about A$1m on luxury items including handbags.
Ms Lee, a student, was arrested at Sydney airport on Wednesday while trying to travel to Malaysia.
Prosecutors say she withdrew the money from Westpac bank within a year and did not notify authorities of the error.
She has been charged with obtaining financial advantage by deception and with knowingly dealing with proceeds of crime, Australian broadcaster ABC reported.
The court in Sydney heard that Ms Lee, a chemical engineering student who has lived in Australia for five years, had opened a Westpac bank account in August 2012 and had mistakenly been given an unlimited overdraft.
Magistrate Lisa Stapleton granted Ms Lee bail on Thursday, although under strict conditions.
Ms Lee's lawyer said the student had been trying to return to Malaysia to visit her parents.
But no player has won their opening two games after Phil Taylor, James Wade and Raymond van Barneveld all drew in Nottingham.
Van Gerwen beat Peter Wright, the only other player who won his first match of the tournament, 7-3.
Two-time ex-winner Gary Anderson beat Jelle Klaasen by the same scoreline.
Adrian Lewis registered his first points by beating Dave Chisnall, while Wade and Taylor were involved in the first of Thursday's two drawn encounters.
Belgium's Kim Huybrechts secured his first point of the competition with a 6-6 draw against Van Barneveld, who won the Premier League in 2014.
Adrian Lewis (Eng) 7-2 Dave Chisnall (Eng)
James Wade (Eng) 6-6 Phil Taylor (Eng)
Jelle Klaasen (Ned) 3-7 Gary Anderson (Sco)
Peter Wright (Sco) 3-7 Michael van Gerwen (Ned)
Kim Huybrechts (Bel) 6-6 Raymond van Barneveld (Ned)
The Uruguyan scored four times and provided three assists as Barcelona revitalised their La Liga title push by thumping Deportivo La Coruna 8-0.
His 30th league goal of the campaign took his overall tally to 49 - matching his best in all competitions for a season, achieved with Ajax in 2009-10.
So how does the former Liverpool forward compare with England's finest?
Suarez has 49 goals this season - the same as Harry Kane and Jamie Vardy combined - but has some way to go to beat Messi's record of 73 set in 2011-12.
And not just the ecstasy of Salford Red Devils' 19-18 golden-point win in the Million Pound Game, but also the despair of beaten opponents Hull KR.
If anything, it was reaction of the Hull KR players and their families that made the biggest impression on Kopczak.
"To see the wives and the families of the opposition crying and upset wasn't nice," he told BBC Wales Sport.
"It's not a nice position to be in and I wouldn't recommend it.
"You couldn't really celebrate and it was more a case of job done and get out of there."
And that after securing the most important win in the history of the club, who had been within minutes of losing their Super League status.
For the defeated Robins, it meant relegation and an uncertain future for the club's players, with contracts under threat.
With so much at stake in one end-of-the season match, the Million Pound Game has been criticised since its introduction in 2015.

Hull KR's Ben Cockayne described the concept as "a disgrace" and said it hurt the Rugby Football League's efforts to promote good mental health.
Salford looked destined for relegation as the highly charged game at the Lightstream Stadium drew to a close.
They trailed 18-10 with two minutes left but Niall Evalds' try and Greg Johnson's score with the last play of normal time levelled the scores.
Gareth O'Brien's drop-goal in golden-point extra time secured victory to save his side from the drop to the Championship.
"At one stage I thought it was all over, but credit to the boys they dug deep and found a way to win," added Kopczak, who was among the Salford replacements.
"It's not good for the players but it is what it is. You've got to do it and someone's got to go down.
"Hopefully next season I'm not in that situation again. We've got a great bunch of lads and we shouldn't really have been in that situation."
With Salford's Super League status secured, Kopczak's focus is now on another challenge - captaining Wales' attempt to reach the 2017 Rugby League World Cup.
Wales, who won the European Championship in 2015, have qualifiers against Serbia at Llanelli's Stebonheath Park on Saturday and away to Italy on 29 October.
"We've got two tough games and it's going to be interesting," Kopczak said.
"But the boys are really up for it and we want to build on the success of last year."
John Kear's side will face Serbia and Italy without Wigan's Ben Flower and Rhys Evans of Warrington Wolves, who are unavailable after playing in the Grand Final.
Tyson Frizell, capped five times by Wales, is also unavailable having been included in Australia's squad for the Four Nations.
But Kopczak says his own Super League experience, as well as that of Salford team mate Phil Joseph and Widnes pair Gil Dudson and Lloyd White, will help Wales.
"It's for us to lead from the front and get ourselves in a great position to start with and kick on from there," Kopczak said.
"We'll focus on ourselves, get the job done right and aim for the World Cup."
The Gunners kept the trophy they won against Hull City a year ago and earned Arsene Wenger a sixth triumph.
It's the 12th time the team have won the world's most famous cup competition.
Arsenal's victory was never in doubt as they dominated with a magnificent display.
Five minutes before half-time their control was rewarded with a goal from Theo Walcott.
Alexis Sanchez scored again shortly after with an amazing goal - a swerving, dipping 25-yard thunderbolt that flew high past startled Villa keeper Shay Given.
Per Mertesacker took advantage of a lack of marking to head the third.
And substitute Olivier Giroud's fourth in the final moments completed their stunning victory.
From 2014, such agreements with Israel will exclude East Jerusalem, the West Bank, Gaza Strip and the Golan Heights.
Israeli minister Silvan Shalom said the measure was a "big mistake" which cast doubt on the EU's impartiality in the Israel-Palestinian conflict.
Palestinian official Hanan Ashrawi welcomed it as a "significant move".
Under the guidelines, which come into effect on Friday, Israeli projects applying for EU funding will be required to sign a clause to state that it will not apply to the occupied territories.
Palestinians want to establish a state in the West Bank and Gaza, with a capital in East Jerusalem.
About 500,000 Jews live in more than 100 settlements built in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. The settlements are considered illegal under international law, though Israel disputes this.
Peace talks stalled in 2010 over the issue of Israeli settlements. Palestinians are demanding a freeze on building in settlements as a pre-condition to return to talks, while Israel says talks should resume unconditionally.
The guidelines relate to grants, prizes and other funding from the EU budget.
A spokesman for the European delegation in Tel Aviv told the Associated Press news agency that the "territorial applicability clause" would not affect Israel's private sector, but rather bodies like research centres or non-governmental organisations.
Israel reacted angrily to the move, warning it would do nothing to help achieve peace.
"Europeans are making a big mistake once again. They always would like to play a key role in the peace process but once again they are showing us that they cannot play a key role because they don't have a balanced attitude towards the Israeli-Palestinian conflict," Mr Shalom told the BBC.
"If they would like really to help the peace process, they should not come with those decisions and those ideas. I would like to remind my friends the Europeans, that... the Israeli government in the past took many decisions to evacuate settlements and they didn't need Europeans to show them what to do."
The Palestinians though said the issuing of the guidelines was a positive step.
"The EU has moved from the level of statements, declarations and denunciations to effective policy decisions and concrete steps which constitute a qualitative shift that will have a positive impact on the chances of peace," said Ms Ashrawi.
"The Israeli occupation must be held to account, and Israel must comply with international and humanitarian law and the requirements for justice and peace."
At 92, he boasts no driving convictions, a 35-year no claims discount on his insurance and dreams of driving a Formula 1 racing car.
Mr Wright, who lives with his wife Maureen in Hazelbeach, near Neyland, is one of almost 5,900 drivers in Wales aged 90 or over.
He confidently drives his car three or four times a week to play at his local tennis clubs and has no qualms about travelling in traffic or at night.
Figures obtained by the BBC through a Freedom of Information request to the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) show the number of motorists over 90 across the UK has surpassed 100,000.
The number of drivers who are 80 or over in Wales is 72,000, with Swansea, Cardiff and Carmarthenshire having the highest proportion - each with more than 5,000 who are 80 or over and more than 400 in each area are 90 or over.
Mr Wright's first experience of driving was in his friend's Austin 7, who let him drive home after a night out in Southampton during World War Two.
"It was before the age I should have been driving, but I managed alright," he said.
"I fumbled a bit with the gears and clutch, but we got home safely, mainly because there was nothing on the roads, just a few tanks."
Mr Wright said his first car was a Wolseley, followed by many more, but his favourite was an Essex-Terraplane.
"It was a fantastic car," he said, "it had tremendous acceleration, an aluminium body and two huge doors which opened forward.
"I remember I was taking a friend's father home from the pub and we went around a right hand corner and he hadn't closed the door properly. He decided to open it while we were turning and of course he flew out!"
At 15, Mr Wright was taken on by the Merchant Navy as a deck boy and did trips with troops heading to north Africa.
On one trip he recalled a collision with the battleship HMS Revenge and spent about two months in Singapore waiting for their ship to be repaired.
Mr Wright said he had lots of different jobs during his working life, joking "no one would have him for long".
They included business advisory, printing and keeping pubs with his wife Maureen.
Mr Wright said he used to take great pleasure from driving, but not so much these days.
For more than 20 years, he was the proud owner of a Scimitar - a sports car produced by British car manufacturer Reliant.
He said Prince Philip and Princess Anne had one and "she was always getting into trouble for speeding".
"When she had a police escort she used to outrun them and they used to get very peeved about that," he added.
But Mr Wright said he had to give up the car as he could not longer maintain it.
"It was an old car and it needed a lot of work and it was so expensive to find a good mechanic who knew what they were doing with a car like that," he said.
Mr and Mrs Wright said they would both be lost without driving.
"It's a life support in a sense," said Mr Wright, "there wouldn't be much left if I wasn't able to drive."
Asked what he thought made a good driver, he said is was all about being smooth: "Once you learn how to drive smoothly, you're much safer.
"When I was young, if I hadn't had an accident within 12 months I was looking for where it was coming from, but as I grew a bit older, I learned how to drive smoothly."
He added that a good driver understands the mechanics of the car, how it works and what it responds to.
"When Nigel Mansell was learning how to drive, his father said to him 'you've got to learn how to drive smoothly before you can ever drive fast', and that is absolutely true."
Mr Wright said he was patient and sympathetic to people who make mistakes on the road.
"If you can think of a mistake that's been made on the road, I've already made it, so I don't look at someone else and say you're a bit of a fool, because I've been that fool.
"I don't even know where my horn is to honk at people!"
When he turned 90, Mr Wright drove an Aston Martin around Silverstone, clocking up speeds of 124mph, but was disappointed he could not go faster.
"Silverstone apparently has two tracks," he explained, "they have the Formula 1 track which is one of the straightest and fastest in the world, where you can do 200mph plus, and I was really looking forward to that.
"But I was put on the inner track which they allow people like me to drive around and it's really not possible to do more than 120-odd because of the bends."
Mr Wright said there was "a chap sitting next to me" and when he approached a corner far too quickly he was "bouncing in his seat yelling 'brake, brake!'
"I didn't hear a thing as I was wearing a helmet with ear pads and I'm not too good at hearing anyway," he added.
Mr Wright said he had no fear of speed and would love to drive a McLaren Formula 1 race car, which can do 240mph.
He thinks it would be a great way to mark his 100th birthday.
Pupils in the Chinese city have been ranked in top place in international school tests, and the World Bank, which provides financial and technical assistance to developing countries, has published a report investigating Shanghai's academic success.
It found the standard of teaching was the biggest advantage, including a system of constant teacher training and upgrading of skills.
Teachers in Shanghai, on average, spend only a third of their time teaching - with most of their time being spent on training, preparation and working with mentors.
There are "stringent" requirements to get into teaching, which is seen as a prestigious job, and even though teachers can be dismissed, the study found that, in practice, this was rare.
Instead, there was a system with a very strong emphasis on training and a career built on incentives for the best teachers.
Teachers can receive as much as 30% of their pay in merit payments, decided at school level, on top of a basic salary.
Head teachers are expected to carry on teaching and part of their pay is linked to their school's performance.
There are incentives for teachers and head teachers to work in tougher underperforming and rural schools - such as helping their careers to advance more quickly.
And there can be rotations of teachers working in the most disadvantaged schools.
The World Bank also found that Shanghai benefited from an "entrusted school" system in which stronger schools were "twinned" with weaker schools and expected to raise their standards.
Shanghai, with a population of more than 23 million, has its own devolved education system, which enters the international Pisa tests in its own right.
The most recent tests, run by the OECD, have put Shanghai in top place for maths, reading and science in a global league table of countries and regional school systems.
Report author Xiaoyan Liang said: "One of the most impressive aspects of Shanghai's education system is the way it grooms, supports, and manages teachers, who are central to any effort to raise the education quality in schools."
She said the high level of public respect for teachers in Shanghai was another reflection of "how well they teach. They are true professionals".
Shanghai's population is significantly better educated than the national average for China.
But it also has substantial numbers of poorer pupils - and the report highlights how well these disadvantaged pupils perform in school.
The OECD's education director Andreas Schleicher has shown that in maths tests the poorest 10% of pupils in Shanghai are as good as the most privileged 20% of teenagers in the UK and the United States.
The World Bank report describes Shanghai as having "one of the most equal education systems" in the world, as well as the highest achieving.
The study shows high levels of migrant pupils in Shanghai, who have come with their families from other parts of China. Almost half of the 1.2 million pupils in primary and lower secondary years were classified as migrants.
Most of these were found places in state schools, but almost a quarter were being taught in private schools, with fees paid by the local authority.
About 10% of pupils in the city are taught in private schools.
The Shanghai state school system uses academic selection - with pupils dividing after nine years of basic education into academic and vocational streams, based on point scores in exams.
More stories from the BBC's Global education series looking at education from an international perspective and how to get in touch
Within the academic stream there are further divisions, with some sought-after schools being seen as the route to the most prestigious universities.
Schools are expected to deliver a common curriculum, but about 30% of the timetable can be decided by individual schools.
The study highlights how the system delivers high test results.
But there are other social factors to be considered. There is no accountability to parents in this system or mechanism for challenging the decisions of schools or education authorities.
And there are also questions about the pressure this highly competitive, exam-focused system puts on pupils. As well as public examinations, the school system has many internal tests and assessments.
And there have been warnings about the lack of "emotional well-being" that comes with such a concentration on success in exams.
Shanghai, which has linked economic ambition with investment in education, has been used as an example for other countries wanting to raise school standards.
This week, representatives from 25 developing countries, including Brazil, Afghanistan and Ethiopia, are visiting schools in Shanghai to examine ways of improving their education systems.
Harry Patrinos, manager of the World Bank's education sector, said: "High quality schooling is directly linked to strong economic growth and swift poverty reduction, so insights from Shanghai's success could go a long way in a world where as many as 250 million children cannot read or write despite having been to school." | A landmark EU-Canada free trade deal called Ceta has hit a serious snag after a Belgian region rejected it, threatening the signing this month.

The attacker, who was separated from his wife and three children, shot dead his parents-in-law and brother-in-law on Saturday night, they added.
The 36-year-old then went into a second house and killed a male neighbour.
Wuerenlingen, a German-speaking town of some 4,000 people, is located about 30km (20 miles) north-west of Zurich.
Police found the bodies lying inside and outside a residential building overnight.
They were quick to rule out any links to terrorism, instead labelling the attack a "tragic relational drama".
All of the victims and the gunman were Swiss nationals. The gunman, who has not yet been identified, had a record of violent behaviour and lived apart from his family, police spokesman Michael Leutpold told reporters at a news conference on Sunday.
He did not have a gun license, Mr Leutpold confirmed.
The attacker's wife and children had reportedly left the family home to be housed in a shelter just before the attack unfolded.
"The mother and her children are safe," another police official, Markus Gisin, said.
Police say the investigation into the shooting may be difficult as there are multiple crime scenes.

Stephen Port, of east London, planted a fake suicide note on the body of Daniel Whitworth, the Old Bailey was told.
The note, purported to have been penned by Mr Whitworth, said he blamed himself for the death of another of Mr Port's alleged victims Gabriel Kovari.
Their bodies were found in the same churchyard. Mr Port denies murder.
The 41-year-old, from Barking, has pleaded not guilty to a total of 29 offences, including four counts of murder and seven of rape, relating to 12 men over three-and-a-half years.
The Old Bailey was told that in an "extraordinary" twist of fate, Mr Port's second and third alleged victims, Mr Kovari and Mr Whitworth, were found by the same dog walker in a churchyard 400m from Mr Port's flat.
Mr Port is accused of having dragged their bodies there after murdering them.
Mr Kovari, who had been living with Mr Port, was found dead from a drugs overdose on 28 August 2014, then on 20 September the body of Mr Whitworth was discovered near the same spot clutching an apparent suicide note.
The court heard Mr Port made a "wicked attempt" to frame Mr Whitworth for the death of Mr Kovari.
Prosecutor Jonathan Rees QC told jurors the note was written to give the impression Mr Whitworth had taken an overdose because he blamed himself for Mr Kovari's death.
At the time, police accepted the apparent suicide note on face value and did not investigate further, he said.
The trial has heard that Mr Port used the internet to find his victims, whom he plied with the drug GHB/GBL so he could have sex with them while they were unconscious.
His alleged victims were Mr Kovari, 22, from Lewisham, Mr Whitworth, 21, from Gravesend, Kent, Jack Taylor, 25, from Dagenham, east London, and Anthony Walgate, 23, originally from Hull.
Earlier on Thursday, the trial heard how Mr Walgate was found dead outside the defendant's block of flats in Barking in the early hours of 19 June 2014.
The court heard that Mr Port called an ambulance, claiming to have returned home from a nightshift to discover an unknown male lying unconscious by the front door to the communal entrance.
Mr Rees said officers investigating Mr Walgate's death later realised the defendant had hired the 23-year-old as a male escort and arrested Mr Port on 26 June on suspicion of perverting the course of justice.
The jury heard that in a police interview that day, Mr Port asked a detective: "Can I just say for the scenario - if it was an accident, and if he did have a fit in my place, is that still my fault?"
Initially, Mr Rees said, the defendant denied having met Mr Walgate but later admitted spending time in his flat with him, where Mr Port claimed Mr Walgate willingly took GHB/GBL.
Mr Rees said the defendant's account was that he had later found Mr Walgate "stiff" and "rigid" in bed and had panicked before placing him outside the flat and calling an ambulance.
Mr Port pleaded guilty to perverting the course of justice and was sentenced to eight months in prison in March 2015. He was released on an electronic tag in June 2015.
The prosecution said it now alleged that "it was the defendant and not Anthony Walgate who added the liquid GBL into the drink that Mr Walgate consumed".
Mr Rees said it "was not a case of Mr Walgate unintentionally taking an overdose that killed him".
"The considerable lengths to which the defendant went when attempting to cover up his association with Mr Walgate reveal the guilt he felt about what had happened," Mr Rees said.
Mr Walgate, an occasional escort, had told a friend details of a planned sleepover with a man he had met online, jokingly saying it was "in case I get killed", the court heard.
The trial continues.
Sampaoli, 57, guided Sevilla to a fourth-placed finish in La Liga in his only season in charge and the last 16 of the Champions League before losing 3-2 on aggregate to Leicester.
"All parties are satisfied by the agreement reached," said a Sevilla statement on Friday.
Argentina sacked Edgardo Bauza last month after eight matches as coach.
Sevilla's statement added: "This agreement in principle is pending the drafting and presentation of the relevant documents, which must be signed by all parties by next Thursday, 1 June."
Sampaoli revealed last week that Argentina wanted to appoint him.
"My contract with the club contains clauses which allow me to leave," said the Argentine.
"There's a clear desire from my country to have me as coach and I've had a dream of taking that chance."
Mr Ewing said he agreed with the outcome of a public local inquiry into the Infinergy's proposal.

A new cross-Whitehall fund is being set up to help poor nations counter Russian influence and Islamic extremism.
But some MPs fear that this could mean less money spent on relieving poverty in Africa and Asia.
The government's continuing commitment to spend 0.7%, more than £12bn, of its national income on overseas aid every year is controversial.
To address concerns about value for money in aid spending at a time of austerity, ministers want to spend more of the money not only relieving poverty but also promoting Britain's strategic interests.
As such, they are developing a new so-called "empowerment fund" worth £700m over four years.
This could be used by the Foreign Office and other departments to help developing countries counter the threat of Islamic extremism or the clout of Russia.
This could mean, say, more training for Ukraine in cyber defence - or more education for Syrian refugees in the Middle East.
Nadhim Zahawi, a Conservative member of the Commons Foreign Affairs Committee, welcomed the idea. "If this sort of fund will help push back and allow communities to be stabilised then I think it's a good thing," he said.
"Stability directly feeds into peoples' livelihoods, education, all the things that development should be quite rightly backing."
But others MPs fear the new fund could divert money away from helping the poorest countries in Africa and Asia.
"These cross government funds which have a lot less scrutiny, a lot less transparency than the work that's done through the Department for International Development, I think, are an increasing concern," says Stephen Doughty, a Labour member of the Commons International Development Committee.
"And unfortunately it's quite clear the money isn't necessarily being spent as well as it should be, ironically, as we're diverting it away from the department that does spend it well."
The new fund is being driven by Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson.
His civil servants have long envied the bulging coffers of the Department for International Development whose officials have, in turn, long doubted the ability of the Foreign Office to spend aid effectively.
But the government wants UK aid tied more closely to UK national interests so it can take on its critics who think Britain spends too much on aid, full stop.
Investment from the National Lottery will help restore the Grade II listed Regency landscape in Llanarthney, Carmarthenshire back to its former glory.
Work will include the reinstatement of the interconnecting 18th century lakes, cascades, bridges and dams.
The project will see the recruitment of 300 new volunteers.
They will join the garden's existing team, while accredited training as part of the restoration work will create four new apprenticeships.
The investment is made up of £3.5m from the Heritage Lottery Fund and £2.7m from other partners.
Huw Francis, director of The National Botanic Garden of Wales, said: "This funding will mean we no longer have to imagine what the estate might have looked like, because we can now recreate it for our modern day visitors to experience first-hand."
The 23-year-old left-back, who has spent the last two and a half seasons at Vitesse Arnhem, has signed a four-year deal with the Black Cats.
He played eight times for Chelsea and also had loan spells at Wigan, Leicester, Newcastle and Coventry.
He has two caps for the Netherlands but missed out on the World Cup after being named in the 30-man provisional squad.
Sunderland head coach Gus Poyet was keen to sign a left-back after Marcos Alonso's loan spell finished at the end of last term.
Fiorentina defender Alonso made 20 appearances for the Wearsiders in 2013-14 but has been part of the Viola's pre-season campaign this summer.
Poyet has already signed defender Billy Jones from West Brom, Wigan midfielder Jordi Gomez and goalkeeper Costel Pantilimon from Manchester City so far this transfer window.
Fabio Borini has also been linked with a return to Wearside, with a fee agreed with Liverpool, although Poyet has admitted his frustration at delays in adding new players this summer.
The fall weighed on US markets, as most sectors showed declines.
The S&P 500 index fell 0.67% to 2,437.03 and the Dow Jones dipped 0.29% to 21,467.14.

Amazon on Tuesday said it is testing a service that would allow customers to order boxes of clothes to try-on without paying upfront.
It's a move aimed at eliminating one of the advantages of traditional stores. It also poses a threat to fashion start-ups already pioneering a similar business model.
Shares in department stores, which were already struggling, fell further after the announcement. Kohl's stock slid 4%, Nordstrom dropped 3.95% and Macy's closed down 2.7%.
Amazon shares also declined 0.3%, but that was more in keeping with market-wide trends.
Biotechnology and pharmaceutical firms were among the few winners on Wall Street on Tuesday. The gains in share prices came as Washington looks to the White House to release a plan for grappling with the high costs of prescription drugs.

Koscielny, signed in 2010, has been a key component of a defence that helped secure fourth spot in the Premier League and reach the FA Cup final.
"I am very proud to have reached agreement with the club on a new contract," said the 28-year-old.
"I have enjoyed four great years at Arsenal already, and I look forward to continuing to help the team in the years to come."
Arsenal have kept 15 clean sheets in Koscielny's 31 league games this term, which has helped ensure the Gunners have qualified for the Champions League for a 17th consecutive season.
"Laurent has proven himself to be an outstanding player since joining us in 2010 and has showed his quality once again this season," said Wenger.
"I am delighted he has decided to commit his future to the club."
Many over-55s will be able to dip into their pensions pots when they wish to.
But the party says a charges cap may be required to prevent investors in certain schemes losing more than a quarter of their money in fees.
The Treasury says savers will be given impartial guidance and new rules for financial firms are being introduced.
Up until now most people in defined contribution schemes - where the final pension depends on the amount of investment returns - bought an annuity, a pre-set income for life, from a provider when they retired.
From next April, savers will be able to use their pension money as they see fit, from the age of 55.
More than 300,000 people will be able to access their pensions. A quarter of the money withdrawn will be tax-free, with income tax payable on additional withdrawals.
Labours says it is concerned that insurers, investment managers and advisers will see the change as an opportunity to cash in.
In particular, it is highlighting the potential high fees for pensioners who use so-called income drawdown schemes to access their cash, a practice up until till now used mostly by wealthier retirees.
The schemes allow savers to take part of their pension while keeping the rest invested in the stock market.
Labour says the fees for such schemes could reach 27% of the value of a £30,000 pension pot, if existing charging structures on drawdown products were applied.
Pensions minister Steve Webb said the Financial Conduct Authority would soon be publishing new guidelines for companies selling pension-related financial products.
But Labour says the government has not included income drawdown investments in its plans to combat high fees.
Shadow pensions minister Gregg McClymont said: "Labour welcomed the new pension flexibilities announced in the Budget, but we are concerned that the government has not thought through the risks of rip-off charges."
Riding his BMW Superstock machine, Kneen collected the trophy based on the results of the two Superbike races.
The 29-year-old won the first race on his DTR Penz13.com backed bike, then finished second to South African Hudson Kennaugh on a Kawasaki in race two.
Jason Lynn and Ross Patterson were the Supersport 600cc winners.
The traditional Easter curtain-raiser to the Northern Ireland racing season saw the 40th running of the showpiece Enkalon Trophy at the County Down circuit.
Pole man Kneen, more renowned for his road racing exploits in recent years, won Superbike race one by 1.6 seconds from Northern Ireland's Gerard Kinghan on a Kawasaki, with Alistair Kirk completing the podium.
KMR Kawasaki pilot Kennaugh had to settle for fourth place in the opener, but upped the pace in his second outing of the day, which was re-started over four laps after a red flag incident.
South African-born Kennaugh edged out Kneen by 0.2 seconds, with Kinghan third on this occasion.
Lynn won the first Supersport event by four seconds from former British 125cc champion Christian Elkin, with Korie McGreevy third. Patterson beat Lynn by 0.3 seconds in race two.
Mark Hanna was a double winner in the Supertwins class and Ballymoney's Darryl Tweed chalked up a brace in the Lightweight Supersport.
Peter Morgan, 54, of Llanellen, Monmouthshire, is accused of strangling Georgina Symonds, 25, in January 2016.
The father-of-two admits killing Miss Symonds but denies it was murder.
Newport Crown Court was told he had bugged her home, overhearing how she wanted to "do him over" for his money.
"I listened to her several times a day through a listening device. It was disguised as an adaptor. I put it in her lounge," he told police, in a filmed interview played to the jury on Monday.
The court has heard how Mr Morgan paid Miss Symonds, from the Allt-yr-yn area of Newport, up to £10,000-a-month to be his personal escort.
The former burlesque dancer had been living at a bungalow at Pencoed Castle, in Llanmartin, owned by Mr Morgan.
He had promised to sign it over to her as part of a divorce settlement.
Mr Morgan told detectives: "She was on the phone to someone and said as soon as the bungalow was put in her name she was going to London and start escorting again and would do me over.
"She said she wished I killed myself so she'd get the bungalow to herself."
An exchange of text messages between Mr Morgan and Miss Symonds were also read out in court.
The jury heard thousands of messages were recovered from Miss Symonds' device, sent in the months leading up to her death.
In one message she wrote: "Feeling down, need cheering up."
Mr Morgan replied: "No problem hun."
She wrote back: "I don't want lots, just to be treated," followed by "don't forget to give me my dollar today".
The trial heard earlier that the property tycoon planned to split his £20m empire when he divorced his wife "to be with her".
"I love George. I gave everything up for her. I've been married for 22 years so I gave up my marriage for her," he said.
He has admitted strangling the mother-of-one with baling twine from his farm, then wrapping her body in black plastic and hiding her in a workshop behind his farmhouse.
But he has denied murder because of diminished responsibility due to Asperger's syndrome.
The trial is continuing.
Latest figures showed the £842m South Glasgow University Hospital was the worst-performing in Scotland for patient waiting times.
Just 78.3% were seen and treated within four hours, well below the 95% target.
Health Secretary Shona Robison said experts would be sent to the hospital to improve management systems.
The government said the aim was to "ensure the smooth transfer of patients through the emergency department".
The 1,109-bed hospital, which began taking patients in April, was built on the site of the Southern General and is one of the largest acute hospitals in the UK.
The new campus replaces the Royal Hospital for Sick Kids at Yorkhill, the Southern General Hospital, the Western and Victoria Infirmaries, and the Mansionhouse Unit.
Ms Robison said the migration of services had gone well but some problems were to be expected in the early stages of opening.
"Performance against the four-hour target in accident and emergency has dipped and is some way off the national average," she said.
"We always expected there to be some initial challenges around performance as staff from all three sites got used to working in their new environment. However, in the interests of patients in Glasgow, we have agreed with the board to offer the considerable expertise in unscheduled care at our disposal.
"This move will put in place further on-site support to help the existing teams embed their practices and take forward work to implement the six essential actions for unscheduled care."
Ms Robison added: "This additional Scottish government support will assist staff in making the sustainable, long-term adjustments that should see the South Glasgow University Hospital steadily improve their performance against the four-hour target, and sustain the reduction in long waits we have seen."
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde chief executive Robert Calderwood said improving the efficiency of A&E services at the new hospital was "taking longer than expected".
"We therefore welcome the assistance of Scottish government colleagues who will work with our senior managers and clinicians to use their combined expertise to identify further measures to assist with the bedding-in of services and systems and to achieve the improvements in patient flow required," he said.
"I would like to take the opportunity to apologise to those patients who have experienced delays in being admitted to a bed once they had been seen, assessed and diagnosed in our emergency and immediate assessment unit.
"We remain committed to meeting the highest levels of service provision for the patients we serve and every opportunity to improve on our current challenged performance is welcomed."
Labour's health spokeswoman, Jenny Marra, said the health board was right to call in additional support, and that understanding whether the problems were the result of "inevitable teething problems" or a simple lack of beds was important.
"For this SNP government to be missing its own A&E target by such a long way in the middle of summer tells us we have a fundamental problem. Our hard-working doctors and nurses are clearly being overwhelmed by the number of patients," she said.
The Liberal Democrats said the SNP had not given the hospital adequate support before it opened.
"Once again the SNP have taken their eye off the ball," said health spokesman Jim Hume.
"The Scottish government's delayed response, although welcome, must now deliver real results if we are to have confidence that the poor performance against A&E waiting times will not become a trend," he added.
Ruth Davidson, leader of the Scottish Conservatives, said it was clear that the problems at the hospital had "moved beyond teething problems and into the realm of serious failings."
"The Scottish government can't hide behind excuses any longer when staff, unions and organisations have all given warnings that problems needed fixed," she added.
The law - the first of its kind in the UK - was introduced last June after a majority of MLAs at Stormont backed it.
It was feared the law would push the sex trade further underground and expose sex workers to greater risk.
But figures from the Public Prosecution Service (PPS) have shown no-one has ended up in court for paying for sex.
According to the PSNI, more than 800 men are paying for sex in Northern Ireland every day, but over the past year, only 10 men have been investigated by police.
Out of the seven of those cases referred to the PPS, three were thrown out, two men received cautions while the remaining two cases are still being considered by a senior prosecutor.
Defending the PSNI's record, Det Supt John McVea said there had been some successful outcomes.
"There are a number of people who have received cautions at the direction of the PPS. Our priority is to protect the vulnerable and to target human trafficking and sexual exploitation," he said.
Making it illegal to pay for sex has acted as a deterrent and that has been welcomed, he added.
"We have identified 60 people in the past year who have been the victims of human trafficking," said Det Supt McVea.
"That is a considerable number and we feel we have made a significant impact on human trafficking throughout Northern Ireland. Paying for sex within this act is a not a priority, our priority is to target the human trafficking element and sexual exploitation."
Det Supt McVea said the PSNI's aim was "not about targeting an individual sex worker", but to ensure that sex workers are not vulnerable and do not fall victim to a crime.
He added, however, that: "If we come across criminality we will address it, and that's where the ten cases have been referred to the PPS in the past year."
The lack of prosecutions has come as no surprise to David Ford, who was the Justice Minister when the law was introduced.
"The challenge for police is how they actually produce evidence from what is, in effect, a consensual business relationship between two adults. There clearly is a lot of work that needs to be done to fight trafficking, but that is not the same thing," said Mr Ford.
"We need a more detailed look at the issues around prostitution rather than tacking on this one clause to a bill dealing with the more important issue of human trafficking."
The DUP's Lord Morrow, who pushed for the new law, said it is too early to judge how effective the law will be.
"Those of us who are legislators don't have any control over the PPS, however, we are expecting that there will be a change coming in the next 12 months," said Lord Morrow.
"I believe, as the police have already assured me, that this is a precious piece of legislation in the tool box which they will be using."
Lord Morrow said he has warned the PPS that questions will be raised if there are no prosecutions in the next 12 months.
"I can't tell the police what their priorities should be, but I believe they value the new law and they are keen to see the implementation and enforcement.
"I look to the PPS to do what they are supposed to be doing, and if over the next 12 months there is no change we will be talking to the PPS to ask them to explain the reason why," he added.
One sex worker in Belfast - Catriona - told the BBC that the new law has put her at greater risk.
"I'm not surprised there have been no prosecutions as it was always going to be difficult to get the evidence.
"My clients are aware of the law and if anything it has left sex workers at greater risk, as it is harder to scan our clients," she said.
"They are reluctant to be upfront about who they are and that means we aren't sure who we are seeing or if they are genuine. Clients are more fearful they will be found out and will end up in court and have their names in the newspaper."
She added: "I think the police have better things to be doing than going after people who are having consenting sex."
Under the legislation, those who are convicted of paying for sex will face a fine of £1,000 and up to a year in prison.
Politicians at Stormont are due to review the law in two years' time.

The session was due to take place at Huntingdon Racecourse but flooding in many parts of Cambridgeshire led to it being called off.
A racecourse spokeswoman said staff decided it was "too dangerous for people to access it on flooded roads".
Health and safety trainer David Passfield said: "You have to laugh at the irony of it".
Delegates had been expecting to learn about complying with health and safety laws before the racecourse's own health and safety regulations kicked in and dampened their plans.
More on the flooding and other stories from Cambridgeshire
A risk assessment was carried out and the risk posed by the floodwaters was deemed too great, Mr Passfield said.
"There were concerns about people getting in and out and becoming stranded."
The health and safety trainer said his "face dropped" when he "realised the irony of the situation".
The event has been postponed until the end of the month.
Cowley Residents Action Group (CRAG) and The Woodland Trust are opposing plans for the development of Smithy Wood near junction 35, at Chapeltown.
They want the wood to be given village green status to prevent building work.
Extra Motorway Service Area Group says there is "a clear need" for the station to fill a gap in service provision.
The Commons Act 2006 allows applications for an area to be given village green status if local residents have "indulged as of right in lawful sports and pastimes on the land for a period of at least 20 years".
Oliver Newham, a senior Woodland Trust campaigner, said: "We are delighted that the community understands how devastating the loss of this ancient woodland could be for both the residents and the many species of wildlife that call it home.
"We'd like anyone who has previously or does still love using Smithy Wood to get in touch and share their memories."
He said the trust wanted to help build "a vital pool of evidence" in the form of "a memory, story or photograph" to help bolster CRAG's application.
According to the consultation website the services would include a food court building, a hotel and a petrol station.
It adds that current guidance indicates that for safety, drivers should have the opportunity to stop on a motorway journey every 30 minutes or 12-28 miles (19-45km), depending on traffic conditions.
But drivers coming to the M1 in South Yorkshire from the M18 are having to go 42 miles (67km).
In August, Andrew Long, chief executive of Extra MSA, said it was hoped construction work would start next summer, with completion in the summer of 2015, if planning permission was granted early next year.
It is expected a decision will be made on the village green status application in around six weeks, the Woodland Trust said.
The appeal has been taken by the Department of Justice and Northern Ireland Attorney General John Larkin.
In December, a judge ruled the law does not comply with the European Convention on Human Rights in cases of fatal foetal abnormality or sexual crime.
That case was brought by the Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission.
However, the justice department believes the ruling by the High Court could lead to a widening of the abortion law.
The Department of Justice and the Attorney General are appealing last year's ruling by Judge Horner that Northern Ireland's abortion law is incompatible with human rights.
Opening the appeal and in one of 10 opening submissions, the Attorney General said Judge Horner was clearly wrong in his decision when he said there was no life to protect and he added this was demonstrated by the grief shown by Sarah Ewart who was clearly mourning the loss of a baby.
The Attorney General also argued that there was no proper basis for a doctor to say a foetus has a fatal foetal abnormality.
In an unusual move, the Human Rights Commission is due to cross appeal the Justice department and Attorney General's challenge to the High Court ruling.
It is calling for the choice of accessing a termination of pregnancy in circumstances of serious malformation of the foetus, including fatal foetal abnormality, rape or incest without being made a criminal act to be made available in Northern Ireland.
The current abortion legislation differs from the rest of the UK as the Abortion Act 1967 was never extended to Northern Ireland.
Currently, a termination is only permitted in Northern Ireland if a woman's life is at risk, or if there is a risk of permanent and serious damage to her mental or physical health.
In the city of Madison, filmmaker Michael Moore told them: "We're going to do this together. Don't give up."
Republican Governor Scott Walker has proposed stripping collective bargaining rights as part of a budget-cutting bill.
State Democrats fled to Illinois to prevent any legal vote on the bill.
Their absence deprives the state legislature of a quorum.
Senate Republicans voted on Thursday to hold the missing Democrats in contempt and force police to bring them back to the capitol.
Governor Walker on Friday sent out redundancy warning notices to unions representing state workers following the failure to pass the bill.
He says the measures are needed to tackle a $3.6bn budget gap over the next two years.
Mr Moore said: "Madison is only the beginning. The rich have overplayed their hand."
Senator Chris Larson also urged protesters to remain strong.
"We've been here for the last 16 days [and] we'll continue to be here until worker's rights are removed as the target in this budget repair bill by our governor," he said.
Mr Walker has said his proposal would balance the state's budget without raising taxes or cutting jobs.
The bill, which must pass in both chambers of the legislature, is part of a broader economic policy that aims to get the deficit under control in part by restricting public employees' collective bargaining rights and by requiring them to contribute more to their pensions and healthcare.
State unions have said they will agree to Mr Walker's proposed changes to their benefits - which would amount to an 8% pay cut - as long as they retain collective bargaining rights.
Critics of Mr Walker's proposal say it is intended to weaken the power of the unions, which tend to back the Democrats in elections.
Republicans, who in November took control of the US House of Representatives and state capitols across the country, have praised Mr Walker's bid to balance the budget without raising taxes.
Head coach Eddie Jones fielded 10 debutants in the gripping first Test win over Argentina in San Juan.
"People are right to be excited - the young lads coming through are a different breed these days," said Care, 30, one of the older players on tour.
Jones' youthful squad play the second and final Test in Santa Fe on Saturday.
As many as 18 of the 32-strong travelling party were uncapped prior to the thrilling 38-34 victory in San Juan, with just eight boasting more than 20 caps.
Despite their inexperience - captain Dylan Hartley is out in front on 84 caps - Care insists they must now "back up" the win by clinching the series.
"In a hostile environment, to get the win, I think the future of English rugby is great," said Harlequins' Care, who has 72 caps.

"They are great players and they've all got a great mindset. They've come in, they've grafted and fitted into the system straight away."
Around 30 players have missed the tour due to British & Irish Lions commitments or injury, prompting Jones to turn to youth.
Ford is a scary talent
While wing Denny Solomona's late winning try on his debut stole the headlines, the victory owed much to the craft and game management of George Ford at fly-half.
Ford, who will re-join Leicester from Bath this summer, contributed 23 points and Care "can't believe" his half-back partner is not with the Lions in New Zealand.
"I have seen him grow in the last three or four years playing with him," added Care.
"He can do everything and he makes it look so simple. I think that's the key thing for a fly-half. He is loud, he bosses the boys around, I know where he is at all times.
"And he's only 24 - it is scary how mature and how good a player he is for that age."

Jones has told his youthful squad to stake a claim for a place in his plans for the 2019 World Cup in Japan as many of them settle in to the pressures of the international set-up for the first time.
Around 1.8 million people watched the first Test win and Care admits the group is aware of interest back home, with the second Test again be televised live on BBC Two.
"It's prime-time TV on Saturday night," he added. "I think you could feel the support, you can see it on your social media, everyone gets behind you.
"Obviously, we know all the attention is all on the Lions at the moment but we're incredibly proud boys and we want to put on a show and make people back home proud to be England fans."
Ecometrica, which has its headquarts in Edinburgh, has developed software to quickly interpret satellite imagery.
This allows it to pick up on threats to tropical forests such as illegal logging or encroaching agriculture.
The contract, awarded by the UK Space Agency, will see Ecometrica work with experts in six other countries to help safeguard under-threat ecosystems.
The "Forests 2020" project aims to improve management and protection across 300 million hectares of tropical forests.
Ecometrica will bring together partners in Brazil, Colombia, Ghana, Indonesia, Kenya and Mexico - with earth observation laboratories set up to assess threats to rainforests and help direct conservation resources.
The Scots firm will sub-contract experts from the University of Edinburgh, the University of Leicester and another Edinburgh company, Carbomap.
The funding is coming from the UK Space Agency's recently launched International Partnership Programme (IPP) which brings together British space knowledge and expertise to help benefit undeveloped nations and developing economies.
Ray Fielding, head of the IPP at the UK Space Agency, said: "The programme will identify innovative ways that space technology can help in this important area, which has been identified by the UN as key for sustainable development, and we intend to make a real difference to the people on the ground working to preserve the world's forests."
Executive chairman at Ecometrica, Dr Richard Tipper, said: "We all know how important tropical rainforests are to the survival of the global ecosystem, but most people are only just waking up to the fact that we need to use technology to make sure conservation efforts are effective and properly directed.
"The Earth Observation platforms will ensure threats such as fires and illegal logging are detected sooner, and make the response on the ground faster and more cost-effective."
Two of Saviano's goals came in the first period with Mike Forney also on target as Sebastian Thinel replied for the Flyers.
Carlo Finucci's strike cut Belfast's lead before two more Saviano goals and a double from Jerome Leduc.
Cardiff, second-placed Sheffield and Belfast all have eight games left.
The leaders hammered Coventry Blaze 8-0 on Saturday night while Sheffield remain a point ahead of the Giants after defeating Nottingham Panthers 4-2.
While Belfast's title hopes now look a long shot, player-coach Derrick Walser is unlikely to give up on the chase just yet with his side still to face Cardiff twice and also having a contest with Sheffield.
All three title contenders are back in action on Sunday with the Giants facing Nottingham away (16:00 GMT), Cardiff taking on Edinburgh Capital away and Sheffield also on the road as they play Fife.
The plans for the revamp of Bridlington town centre include a major investment in the harbour.
Residents can attend public exhibitions of the proposals at The Spa on Monday and Tuesday 8 and 9 November and Wednesday 10 and Friday 12 November.
Views should be given to Bridlington Renaissance by 29 November.
Liz Philpot, from the Bridlington Renaissance Partnership, said: "We really do need to be starting to look at other ways of not just attracting visitors, but making sure we're looking after the resident population.
"The major thrust of all of the town centre scheme is making sure the town provides the economic well-being for the people that live here and run businesses here and want to work here as well."
He was jailed for four years last March after admitting three counts of rape against a child in Milton Keynes.
He was allowed to return to the Netherlands to complete his sentence and has been released after a year.
The NSPCC said his "lack of remorse and self-pity is breathtaking".
Upon his release, Van de Velde reportedly said: "I have been branded as a sex monster, as a paedophile. That I am not, really not."
The 22-year-old also said he might consider a return to playing volleyball for the Dutch national team.
Van de Velde, who met the girl on Facebook, travelled from Amsterdam to the UK in August 2014. He raped the girl near Furzton Lake, and at an address in Milton Keynes.
The court heard he was aware of the girl's age and went to her home when her mother was out and had sex with her, taking her virginity.
The NSPCC said: "Van de Velde's lack of remorse and self-pity is breathtaking and we can only begin to imagine how distressed his victim must feel if she sees his comments.
"Grooming can leave a child feeling ashamed or even guilty because they believe they have somehow willingly participated when, in fact, an adult has preyed upon them in order to sexually exploit them."
Van de Velde returned to the Netherlands after the rape, but was extradited and arrested in January 2016.
It is understood that the authorities in the Netherlands do not extradite Dutch nationals without receiving a guarantee that the person will be returned if sentenced.
A Ministry of Justice spokesperson said: "It is this government's policy that foreign national offenders should serve their sentences in their own country wherever possible.
"All foreign national offenders given a custodial sentence are referred for consideration for deportation at the earliest possible opportunity."
The Dutch Volleyball Association said Van de Velde's main focus was "getting his life back on track", rather than a return to his playing career.
"For us it is too early in his process to conclude anything with regard to volleyball," a statement said.
"With regard to any future decisions to be made, we'll be guided by Dutch law,"

Danny Welbeck scored two second-half goals to give an attacking England team an opening victory in their Euro 2016 qualifying campaign.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Hodgson, 67, said: "It was a bold approach but we decided there was no point coming here for a 0-0, we want this team to progress.
"When we can counter-attack, the pace, energy and youth of the team is shown."
With striker Daniel Sturridge injured, England lined up with captain Wayne Rooney joined by Welbeck, 23, in attack, with Liverpool's Raheem Sterling, 19, behind at the tip of a midfield diamond.
And the three players combined for the opening goal as Welbeck swept in Sterling's pinpoint cross, before new £16m Arsenal signing Welbeck sealed the win in the last minute from substitute Rickie Lambert's pass.
Hodgson was pleased with how his side settled into the new shape and believes progress is being made after a poor Fifa World Cup campaign in Brazil this summer, where defeats by Italy and Uruguay and a draw against Costa Rica saw them exit at the group stage.
"Two important players in that system are Jack Wilshere and Raheem Sterling, at the base and at the tip of the diamond," Hodgson said.
"We wanted to get them on the ball. We thought that Switzerland would find it hard to deal with it and they had to change their system in the second half.
"This is the way forward. We've got to back them.
"Yes the World Cup didn't go our way, yes we have been disappointed - but we have been building up. We didn't hit a brick wall and it was all wrong, we had to maintain faith that we are on the right track and we are getting the right players.
"It was so important to get a good start against the team who are our biggest rivals in the group."
Welbeck had not scored for England since a brace against Moldova last September, but his two efforts were well taken to put Hodgson's side in early control of Group E.
With the top two teams in each group qualifying automatically and trips to Lithuania, Slovenia, San Marino and Estonia to come, England have arguably already come through their toughest test.
Welbeck told BBC Radio 5 live: "It's satisfying. As a team we got the right result and started the campaign well.
"It's difficult to pick a team with so much talent across the whole squad but when I play in my preferred position I know what I can do for the team.
"You have to believe in yourself to get where you want to be."
Christopher Jesus Soares, from Lysways Street, Walsall, is charged with distributing a terrorist publication.
The 27-year-old was arrested on Monday as part of a planned investigation, police said. The charges do not relate to the recent terror attacks in Manchester and London.
Mr Soares will appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Monday.
The east Belfast man was shot dead at a remote cottage in County Donegal in the Republic of Ireland in April 2006, months after he was exposed as a spy.
Patrick Gillespie, 74, from Craigvar Street in Glasgow, was granted bail at Dublin's Special Criminal Court.
He must comply with several conditions and live at a County Donegal address.
The bail conditions imposed on Friday include a requirement to surrender his passport; observe a night-time curfew and sign on every Saturday at a Garda (Irish police) station in Letterkenny.
Mr Gillespie is not allowed to leave the jurisdiction and must provide a mobile phone contact number to police.
Two women have agreed to freeze a surety of 15,000 euros (£12,600), which will be forfeited if the defendant fails to comply with bail conditions.
Mr Donaldson. who once held a senior position in Sinn Féin, was expelled from the party a decade ago after he admitted being a paid British spy for 20 years.
Bryony Freestone, 19, from Little Houghton, Northampton, died off the island of Koh Chang on 14 August.
Her twin sister Sophie posted a picture of the pair on Facebook, captioned: "There's nothing I wouldn't give to have you back".
The University of Exeter, where Miss Freestone was a student, said it was "deeply saddened by this awful news".
Live: Updates on this story and other Northamptonshire news
"Bryony is remembered as a talented, dedicated and hugely popular student and our heartfelt condolences and thoughts are with her family and friends," a spokesman said of Miss Freestone, who studied at Penryn Campus in Cornwall.
The Foreign Office confirmed it was supporting the family of a British national "who sadly died in Thailand on 14 August".
The court in Hamburg ruled that Jan Boehmermann's poem was satire, but said the sexual references were unacceptable.
However the comments on President Erdogan's treatment of freedom of speech were allowed, it said.
Mr Boehmermann's lawyer said the ruling went against "artistic freedom".
"We believe that the court's decision in its concrete form is wrong, given that it deems those parts dealing with Erdogan's approach to freedom of expression to be acceptable," said Christian Schertz.
Mr Boehmermann himself responded by tweeting a link to the Beastie Boys song "(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (To Party)".
The Turkish president had filed a criminal complaint against the satirist in a case that prompted a debate in Germany over freedom of speech.
Mr Boehmermann, considered Germany's most incisive satirist, had read the obscene poem on his Neo Magazin Royale programme on 31 March, making clear that it included material that broke German laws on free speech. Section 103 of the criminal code bans insulting representatives or organs belonging to foreign states.
In particular, the poem made references to sex with goats and sheep, as well as repression of Turkish minorities.
Last week it was read out in full in the German parliament by an MP during a debate over proposals to abolish the law against insulting foreign leaders.
To some the poem was puerile, vulgar and irresponsible at a time when Europe needs Turkish help in the refugee crisis.
To others it was an ingenious work of subversive art, which highlighted the importance of freedom of speech - a sketch in which even President Erdogan is now playing his part.
Either way, Jan Boehmermann always goes a step further than polite society generally allows. Clever, funny and complicated, he has singlehandedly revolutionised German state broadcasting.
During the height of tensions between Athens and Berlin over the Greek debt crisis, Boehmermann portrayed Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis as a vengeful motorbike-riding sex bomb. But it was his fellow Germans, and the rest of the media establishment, that the comedian was mocking.
A jaunty 1930's-style Springtime for Hitler remake wittily highlighted the similarities between the views of the anti-migrant party AfD and Nazi-era politics.
Even refugee helpers have been fair game, as Boehmermann mercilessly portrayed modern, multi-cultural Germans as a self-righteous unstoppable horde of muesli-eating, Birkenstock-wearing sexual perverts.
But for Boehmermann's many fans the fear is now that taking on Turkey's president has been a step too far.
Keitany, 34, ran a time of two hours 24 minutes 26 seconds to become the first to accomplish the feat since Norway's Grete Waitz - who won five in a row.
"Winning three times means a lot to me. It's not easy but I got it," she said.
Eritrean world champion Ghirmay Ghebreslassie, 20, beat Kenya's Lucas Rotich in the men's race to become New York's youngest ever winner.
Ghebreslassie, who finished fourth at both the London Marathon and the Rio Olympics this year, crossed the line in 2:07:51 to deny Kenya a fourth consecutive double in the New York men's and women's races.
"I am really proud with my victory today to be the first one from my country [to win the race]," he said.
American Tatyana McFadden won her fourth straight New York women's wheelchair race in one hour 47 minutes 43 seconds.
The win means she has won the last 17 major marathon races - London, Boston, Chicago and New York - including four calendar-year clean sweeps.
The move follows a similar extension for the independence referendum last year.
The age extension was also supported in last year's Smith Commission on further devolution for Scotland.
The voting age will be lowered next spring, allowing 16 and 17-year-olds to take part in May's Holyrood election.
Extending the franchise to 16 and 17-year-olds during the referendum was widely considered a success in terms of engaging young people in politics.
Deputy First Minister John Swinney said: "It has been a long-standing policy of this government to lower the voting age to 16 where we can and that policy now has, I am pleased to say, cross-party support across the chamber.
"I am delighted to have reached consensus on the principle.
"Building on that, I have been impressed by the thoughtful and passionate contributions that young people have made to the debate on the current proposals to extend the franchise permanently."
He said the Scottish Elections (Reduction of Voting Age) Bill "provides a detailed, workable and practical framework to allow 16 and 17-year-olds to register for and vote in Scottish elections", replicating the work done during the referendum.
He added: "I think it is a real missed opportunity on the part of the UK government not to enable 16 and 17-year-olds to vote in the EU referendum."
Labour's Lewis Macdonald said: "This bill is notable in delivering a significant amount of change with a minimum of fuss and a maximum of agreement.
"In passing this bill we should celebrate the democratic participation of all our citizens, the 100,000 or so 16 and 17-year-olds, the million over-65s and everyone in between.
"We are extending the franchise precisely because we know from experience that democracy works."
Conservative MSP Annabel Goldie told MSPs that the bill was an important moment for young people and democracy.
"This bill heralds an exciting era for our young people," she said.
"I think it is an opportunity for them to continue their high level of engagement in topical affairs that we saw with the independence referendum."
Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie said: "The ball is now in the court of Scotland's 16 and 17-year-olds to demand a fairer deal from all of Scotland's political parties.
"The right to vote comes with a responsibility to take part in our democratic debate.
"From cuts to college places to the crisis facing our hospitals, there are many issues which will benefit from the voice and power of 16 and 17-year-olds."
MSPs rejected a plea from Liberal Democrat Alison McInnes for the legislation to be altered so that Scottish ministers could decide if some young offenders could vote.
Young people aged 16 and 17 were not allowed to vote in the recent general election, and they will not be able to take part in the forthcoming referendum on the UK's membership of the European Union.
The UK government used a so-called "section 30" order, which avoids primary legislation, to pass power to the Scottish Parliament.
This mechanism was used to lend Holyrood the unequivocal legal authority to hold the independence referendum.
Angela Wrightson, 39, was also battered with a stick with screws sticking out of it by the then 13 and 14-year-olds, it was said.
Ms Wrightson's body was found at her home in Hartlepool in December after a "sustained and brutal assault", Teesside Crown Court heard. Medical evidence showed she had more than 100 injuries.
The girls deny murder.
Jurors heard an array of items were used in the attack.
Nicholas Campbell QC, prosecuting, said: "A number of implements were used as weapons. They included a wooden stick with screws standing proud of the surface, a TV set, a printer from a home computer, a coffee table and a shovel.
"Smaller items such as a kettle and a metal pan were used together with a glass vase and other ornaments.
"There were well over 100 injuries. The evidence at the scene of the crime showed she had been struck in 12 separate locations within that room."
The court was told her blood-stained body was found by her landlord at her home in Stephen Street. She died as a result of blood loss.
Mr Campbell said: "It became clear that Angela Wrightson had been the victim of a sustained and brutal assault."
The younger girl took selfies at the scene and published one on Snapchat, the court was told.
Later she contacted a friend using Facebook, and that witness went on to tell police during the call she heard the defendant shout: "Go on, smash her head in, bray her, kill her."
Both girls were jointly responsible for the fatal attack, the prosecutor told the jury.
The court heard at the time of the attack the pair, who cannot be named, were in the care of the local authority.
Now aged 14 and 15, the defendants had formed an "intense relationship".
Ms Wrightson was an alcoholic and in drink could be a nuisance, the jury heard.
She allowed young people to drink in her house and would buy cigarettes and alcohol for them from a local shop.

Gwent Police deployed trained negotiators to a property at Buxton Court, Lansbury Park on Thursday at 15:45 BST because the man was threatening to harm himself.
Power supplies to the area were cut off to around 60 homes until the incident ended peacefully at about 23:30 BST.
The man handed himself over to police and has been arrested on suspicion of arson with intent and criminal damage.
Neighbours at the scene told BBC Wales that a man, believed to be in his 30s, lived in a flat on the complex and was seen throwing items out of the building.
A spokesman for Gwent Police said: "Due to the risk of fire at that property and adjoining properties we had to stop gas and electricity in the area which affected about 60 properties.
"Our officers visited those affected to explain what is happening and to thank them for their patience."
South Wales Fire and Rescue, about six police cars and vans, a police dog and paramedics were also at the scene.
Known as Juice, the mission is due to leave Earth in 2022 and arrive at the giant planet 7.5 years later.
The 350m-euro deal struck between industry and Esa will see the assembly of the 5.5-tonne probe being led from Toulouse in France.
Components and instruments will be sourced from across Europe, however.
There will also be American participation as well, through the US space agency (Nasa), and from Japan via its space agency (Jaxa).
When all these contributions are summed - including launch and operations - the full price for the JUpiter ICy moon Explorer is expected to exceed one billion euros.
Tuesday's contract was signed in the presence of Alvaro Gimenez, director of science and robotic exploration at Esa, and Eric Béranger, head of space systems programmes at Airbus Defence and Space.
As prime contractor, Airbus must now pull together a consortium of companies across Europe to build, assemble and test the satellite, making it ready for its launch on an Ariane 5 rocket in six years' time.
Juice will carry a sophisticated scientific payload - including cameras, spectrometers, a laser altimeter and an ice-penetrating radar. The mission will also feature a magnetometer, plasma and particle detectors, as well as radio science hardware.
To power all those instruments at Jupiter - a distance of 780 million km from the Sun - Juice will need the biggest solar array system ever flown on a planetary mission. This generator will have a collecting area of almost 100 sq metres.
To put that in some context: the Rosetta mission to Comet 67P has a collecting area of 64 sq metres; Nasa's Juno mission, scheduled to arrive at Jupiter next year, has an array surface measuring 72 sq metres.
After launch, Juice will use a series of gravitational flybys of Earth, Venus and Mars to hurl itself out to the Jovian system.
On arrival, the probe will swing around the planet to initiate a series of close passes of its moons Callisto and Europa. Juice will then put itself in a settled orbit around Ganymede.
The research emphasis will be "habitability" - trying to understand whether there is any possibility that these moons could host microbial life.
Callisto, Europa and Ganymede are all suspected to have oceans of water below their icy surfaces. As such, they may have environments conducive to simple biology.
"Galileo's discovery of the giant moons of Jupiter four centuries ago caused a revolution in how we saw our place in the Universe," commented Prof Mark McCaughrean, Esa's Senior Science Advisor.
"By studying the icy crusts and deep sub-surface water oceans of Ganymede, Europa, and Callisto, Juice promises to open our eyes once again: could such places provide habitats for extraterrestrial life?"
Ganymede is the largest moon in the Solar System and the only one to generate its own magnetic field.
The magnetometer instrument that will be central to investigating this feature will be supplied from the UK.
Juice is the first Large Class mission selected by Esa in its co-called Cosmic Vision programme. That decision was made in 2012.
Member states have subsequently chosen to fly two further projects, one in the late 2020s and one in the early 2030s. These will be an X-ray telescope, and a trio of satellites to study gravitational waves.

But the fall in profits to $5bn (£3.9bn) beat analysts' forecasts, and HSBC's shares rose 3%.
The lower profits were due mainly to accounting changes, while the results last year included proceeds from the sale of its Brazilian business.
Chief executive Stuart Gulliver called the figures a "good set of results".
Revenues for quarter rose to $12.84bn from $12.57bn, while adjusted pre-tax profit - which excludes one-off items - rose to $5.94bn from $5.3bn a year earlier.
The figures are the first since Europe's largest bank announced the appointment of a new chairman in March. The move was part of a management overhaul that will also see HSBC choose a new chief executive.
Following a big drop in profits in 2015, HSBC embarked on a restructuring that led to thousands of job cuts, branch closures, asset sales, and a bigger focus on Asia.
Analyst Jackson Wong, from Huarong International Securities, said the figures showed a marked improvement.
"They cleaned up a lot of bad things in the last quarter of last year so this quarter, everything looks pretty decent, even the cost-cutting is on track," he said.
Mr Gulliver said in Thursday's statement that 2017 would see the completion of strategic measures announced in 2015, including the removal of low-return risky assets.
"Our cost-saving programme remains on track to hit the higher cost-saving target we announced at our annual results," he added.
"Our pivot to Asia continues. We increased advances to customers and grew mortgages and business lending... all three of our North American businesses delivered material increases in profit before tax."
Briton Mark Tucker, currently group chief executive and president of insurance group AIA, will take over as chairman from Douglas Flint in October.
One of Mr Tucker's first jobs will be to lead the hunt for a replacement for Mr Gulliver, due to retire in 2018.
Culture Secretary Fiona Hyslop said the Scottish government would seek to raise greater awareness of the facility at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig in Sleat.
She was responding to a call from MSP David Stewart for more support for what he described as a "first class" studio.
MSPs have been debating for several months the need for more film-making facilities in Scotland.
There have also been calls from within the film industry for a national film studio for Scotland.
Ms Hyslop said she had visited the studio at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig, adding that it was used regularly for the making of the Gaelic drama Bannan.
She said: "I shall undertake to make sure we do everything with other agencies as we can to help publicise it."
Earlier this month the Scottish producer of the multi-Oscar-winning film Mad Max: Fury Road said it was a "disgrace" more progress had not been made on a national film studio for Scotland.
Iain Smith said Scotland's film industry was "under-performing" in comparison to other parts of the UK.
A plan is being considered for an expansion of a studio in Cumbernauld, at a site currently used by the TV series Outlander.
Proposals have also been submitted for a complex at Straiton in Midlothian.
A series of talks are taking place at the United Nations amid signs of a thaw in Iran's relations with the West.
The UK shut down its Tehran embassy in 2011 after it was stormed in a protest over British nuclear sanctions.
Mr Hague welcomed recent statements from Iran aimed at easing concerns about its uranium enrichment work.
Last week President Rouhani, who was elected in June, said he was ready to restart stalled talks on the issue after stating that his country would never seek to build nuclear weapons.
Mr Hague said those statements should be matched "by concrete steps by Iran to address the international community's concerns about Iran's intentions".
He added: "The United Kingdom does not seek a confrontational relationship with Iran and is open to better relations.
"The United Kingdom welcomes President Rouhani and Foreign Minister Zarif's recent statements about Iran's wish to improve its relations with the outside world."
Iranian students stormed the Tehran embassy in November 2011 following Britain's decision to impose further sanctions on Iran over its nuclear programme as a result of a report by the UN's nuclear watchdog.
UK diplomatic staff were withdrawn from Iran and Iranian diplomats were expelled from London in the wake of the incident.
Mr Hague said that as well as Iran's nuclear programme, his discussions with Mr Zarif took in the conflict in Syria, human rights and bilateral relations between the two countries.
He added: "We talked about the need for peace in Syria, where Iran could play a constructive role, including by supporting the Geneva framework for a negotiation between the Assad regime and the opposition and stopping its direct support for regime forces.
"And while welcoming recent announcements on the release of some political prisoners, I raised our concerns about human rights in Iran."
The meeting between Mr Hague and Mr Zarif is not the first time he has held talks with his Iranian counterpart since 2011. He saw Ali Akbar Salehi - foreign minister under the former President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad - in the margins of the Heart of Asia Conference in Kabul in June 2012.
The Portaferry athlete was well placed before falling back in the last 200m as she clocked 4:08.07 in a race won by Kenyan Faith Chepngetich Kipyegon.
"I am sorry I didn't deliver," said Mageean on her Facebook page
"I will make one promise. This is the beginning, this season is only the start. I will be back and I will be stronger."
She added: My dream is to be on a podium, watch the Tri colour rise and Amhrán na bhFiann echo through the stadium.
"I will work tirelessly until I achieve this, that is my promise.
"I cannot say how thankful I am for all the support I have been given this summer.
"Messages from the length and breadth of Ireland and further afield has lifted me this entire season.
"Seeing flags and posters in Portaferry and all the kind messages from everyone. Thank you so much truly from the bottom of my heart."
Mageean impressed in coming second in her heat in a time of 4:11.51 but even going three seconds quicker in the semi-final was not enough to progress.
Only the top five in the race were guaranteed a spot in the Olympic final.
Kipyegon won in 4:03.95 with Ethiopia's Dawit Seyaum second and Shannon Rowbury of the United States in third.
Mageean was 17th fastest overall from the two semi-finals.
The marker at Battle Abbey had denoted the "official" location of the last Anglo-Saxon monarch's death, since the 1980s.
But, a new study of the grounds show an area slightly to the east was where Harold fell, English Heritage said.
Some historians dispute their account.
Battle Abbey was founded by William the Conqueror on the site of 1066 battlefield, according to English Heritage.
Historical accounts have claimed the abbey church, which was demolished in the 16th Century, had an altar where Harold fell.
But, a new study of its layout showed the original was further east than first thought, English Heritage said.
Roy Porter, from English Heritage, said: "Working out the position of that altar was key and since the 19th century, our understanding of the layout of the church has improved dramatically."
Author Nick Austin, who has previously advanced the theory that King Harold was defeated by William the Conqueror two miles away in Crowhurst, said he "totally disagreed" with moving the stone.
"The foundations haven't moved and the church hasn't moved," he said.
"New analysis of the Chronicle of Battle Abbey proves beyond doubt that the abbey was not the original battlefield.
The site of the battle has been much-debated, with Mr Austin not the only historian to reject English Heritage's version of events.
In December 2013, Channel 4's Time Team programme claimed Harold fell on the site of what is now a mini roundabout on the A2100.
The incident happened in Broomhall Avenue at about 02:30 on Sunday 12 June.
Detectives believe the man can help them with their investigation and are appealing for anyone who recognises him to come forward.
The man is white, 25-30 years old, 5ft 10in - 6ft and of medium build.
He also has short dark hair, and stubble or a short beard.
He was wearing a navy blue zip-up hooded top with white stripes down the sleeves, a light-coloured t-shirt, navy blue tracksuit bottoms with purple stripes, and black shoes.
Det Con Mike Haddock, of Police Scotland, said: "This has understandably been extremely distressing for the victim involved and we've been conducting a number of inquiries since then.
"The man pictured is believed to be of significance to our investigation, and we'd urge anyone who recognises him to come forward as soon as possible."
The 1988 African Footballer of the Year has been in Gabon where the African Under-17 Championship ends today with Ghana playing Mali in the final.
He told the BBC that based on the quality of football displayed in Gabon, there is cause for optimism, not pessimism, regarding the future.
"The standard has been very high and the four teams going to the World Cup have all played very well," said Bwalya, the former president of the Football Association of Zambia.
The tournament, initially earmarked for Madagascar, was moved at the eleventh hour to a country with no recognised junior football structures.
But Bwalya, who also sits on the Confederation of African Football's executive committee, said there were many positives to take from this year's competition.
"There's no doubt in my mind that the future of African football is very bright.
"Ghana and Guinea set the tempo for the tournament while Niger defied all odds to qualify for their first ever youth World Cup and that's a great achievement."
He predicted that Ghana, Mali, Niger and Guinea will present their opponents with plenty of problems when the U-17 World Cup kicks off in India on 6 October.
Ghana are going to a tournament they know very well - they were crowned world champions in 1995 and 1999, and have also finished runners-up on two occasions.
Mali, beaten finalists in 2015, will be making their fifth appearance at the U-17 global showpiece.
Guinea got to the semi-finals in 1985 but Niger are basking in the glory of having qualified for a Fifa tournament for the first time ever.
"Don't forget that Africa has done very well in the under-17 tournaments [seven titles] and I think all these teams are good for the quarter-finals and more," said Bwalya.
"This Malian team is good as the team that got to the final last time around and Ghana are looking really sharp.
"I'm confident these teams will uphold our reputation as Africans in the junior tournaments."
Development of the robot, nicknamed Robojelly, is in the early stages but researchers hope it could eventually be used in underwater rescue operations.
Writing inSmart Materials and Structures, Yonas Tadesse said the jellyfish's simple swimming action made it an ideal model for a vehicle.
The fuel that the robot uses makes it unique, its inventors say.
Lead author Dr Tadesse, from the University of Texas at Dallas, said: "To our knowledge, this is the first successful powering of an underwater robot using external hydrogen as a fuel source."
A jellyfish moves using circular muscles in the inside of its umbrella-like bell.
As they contract, the bell closes in on itself and ejects water to propel itself forward. When the muscles relax, the bell regains its original shape.
To replicate this, the vehicle uses shape memory alloys - materials that "remember" their original shape.
These are wrapped in carbon nanotubes - tiny "straws" of pure carbon that are renowned for their electrical properties - and coated with a platinum black powder.
The robot is powered by heat-producing chemical reactions between the oxygen and hydrogen in water and the platinum on its surface.
The heat from the reactions is transferred to the artificial muscles of the robot, and reshapes them.
Currently, the jellyfish flexes its eight bell segments at the same time but there are plans to look at how to control each segment individually.
This would mean the robot could be more closely controlled and move in different directions.
The study was sponsored by the US Office of Naval Research, which invests in projects to benefit the US Navy and Marine Corps.
In a review of UK economic policies, it said council tax bands should be revalued and action taken to address "rapid" house price rises in London.
The intervention has angered Tory MPs.
Lib Dem Business Secretary Vince Cable said the UK had a "problem" with house price inflation but "we don't need the EU to tell us what's going on here".
Each year the commission, the EU's executive body, offers member states advice intended to help ensure the continent's long-term growth.
In a statement, the commission said its recommendations were "not a diktat" but there was a "limit to how much... can be achieved through spending cuts alone".
It said it was suggesting how the UK could raise new revenue "in a fair and efficient way, which does not hamper competitiveness or increase poverty".
The commission added: "We are suggesting adjustments that would make the council tax system fairer for homeowners and more efficient in terms of government revenues."
The intervention came as there were continued signs of UK house price growth - in its latest update, the Nationwide said house prices rose at their fastest rate in seven years last month but there were signs that the market may be "starting to moderate".
On housing, the commission urged ministers to "deploy appropriate measures to respond to the rapid increases in property prices in areas that account for a substantial share of economic growth in the United Kingdom, particularly London".
Some housing experts have expressed concerns that Help to Buy, which was announced in the 2013 Budget, has contributed to double-digit price rises seen in London and other property hotspots over the past year.
The three-year scheme is designed to help people who can afford to meet monthly mortgage repayments but cannot raise a large enough deposit to get on the housing ladder.
Figures released last week showed that 94% of the 7,313 home purchases funded through Help To Buy so far were outside London, while more than 80% of those assisted were first-time buyers.
But in its review, the commission said the Bank of England should "continue to monitor house prices and mortgage indebtedness and stand ready to deploy appropriate measures, including adjusting the Help to Buy 2 (loan guarantee) scheme, if deemed necessary".
As well as increasing the supply of new homes, the commission said reforms to the taxation of land and property should be considered "to alleviate distortions in the housing market".
"At the moment, increasing property values are not translated into higher property taxes as the property value roll has not been updated since 1991," it said.
"Taxes on higher value property are lower than on lower value property in relative terms due to the regressivity of the current rates and bands within the council tax system."
The commission praised the UK for extending childcare provision, changing benefit rules and providing more incentives to work but said more should be done on apprenticeships and skills.
"With these recommendations, the commission is pointing the way forward," commission President Jose Manuel Barroso said.
"We believe that member states must now play their part in seeing these reforms through, even if we know that sometimes they are politically unpopular," he said.
The BBC News Channel's chief political correspondent Norman Smith said David Cameron and George Osborne were likely to be "quietly fuming" at the wide-ranging critique of government policies at a time ministers were presenting the economic recovery as a success story.
Aside from the idea that the UK must build more houses, which the government accepts, the rest of the advice was likely "to end up in the bin", he added.
Norman Smith said many Tory backbenchers were already "spoiling for a fight" over Europe and this was likely to make matters worse at a time when the UK was involved in a stand-off over who should lead the commission.
Douglas Carswell, the MP for Clacton, told The Times that an unelected group of officials could not tell the UK how to spend its money while colleague Dominic Raab said the chancellor should treat the Commission's advice as "spam when it arrives in his inbox".

Same street, different market
Asked for his reaction, Mr Cable said annual house price rises of more than 10% were an obstacle for many young people's hopes of owning their own home.
"We can see the evidence in front of us, we don't need the European Union to tell us what's going on here," he said.
"We clearly do have a problem, we are not building enough houses and this is reflected in housing inflation and there are lots of things we've got to do to solve that problem."
Lord Turner, former head of the Financial Services Authority, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that some "legitimate issues" had been raised about tax on housing.
"I'm amazed how little I pay on my house in Kensington compared with what somebody pays with a house worth a very small fraction of that in the north of England," he said. "I'm not sure that is a fair system."
A Treasury spokesman defended Help to Buy as an "aspirational" policy which was helping thousands of people to finally realise the dream of home ownership.
He added: "We are the first to say we must be vigilant and not repeat the mistakes of the past which is why we specifically gave the Bank of England powers to intervene in the housing market.
"They should not hesitate to use them if they see fit."
The SS Ellan Vannin's 21 crew and 14 passengers all died when the ship sank in ferocious waters after leaving Ramsey on 3 December 1909.
A service was held at the spot from where the ship set sail.
The names of all of the victims were read out and then wreaths were laid at the Ellan Vannin memorial in Ramsey.
Charles Guard from the Manx Heritage Foundation said it was one of the "worst storms of the century" with waves reaching 25ft (7.62m) after the weather deteriorated during the crossing.
He said the tragedy had an "extraordinary impact" on the Isle of Man.
Snowfall has been reported in mainly eastern parts of the country, including Aberdeenshire and the Borders.
Traffic Scotland said the snow-gate on the A93 at the Spittal of Glenshee was temporarily closed.
Police in the north-east have warned of hazardous driving conditions and motorists have been asked to take care around Edinburgh.
The Met Office has issued a yellow "be aware" warning for snow for the south, east and north-east of Scotland.
Forecasters expected accumulations of 5-10cm (2-4in) above 100m (330ft), with 15cm (6in) or more possible above 200m (656ft).
A mix of rain and snow was expected at lower levels and near coasts.
The chief forecaster said: "A depression which has crossed northern parts of northern England early Friday is bringing a slow-moving band of rain, sleet and snow into the area.
"This has stalled across eastern Scotland for a time early on Friday and will go on to push away east or south-eastwards through the course of Friday."
Amey, which maintains some trunk roads in Scotland, said it had gritters and snow ploughs out in the east and south-east of the country.
Stagecoach said some services are running late due to "heavy snowfall" in the east of Scotland.
The paperless system was introduced at Addenbrooke's and Rosie hospitals in Cambridge in October.
Regulator Monitor said it was looking into the trust's "financial problems" as "it may indicate wider issues with how the trust is run".
Cambridge University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust said it was working closely with Monitor.
Monitor managing director Stephen Hay said the investigation was launched "over financial concerns" and would include "how the trust handled the introduction of a major new IT system".
The trust said it had a predicted deficit, but it was "doing everything possible to improve our financial position, whilst ensuring safe care for our patients".
It was the first in the UK to use Epic's eHospital system, which is used in hospitals in the US.
Nurses access and update patient records using 500 iPod Touch devices and, using its barcode scanner, run tests such as measuring blood pressure.
In December, senior hospital consultants said that its introduction was "fraught with problems".
Monitor has previously taken regulatory action over concerns about the trust's finances between 2013 and July 2014.
The Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales (RCAHMW) has built a register of more than 6,600 19th and 20th Century chapels and now has data on just under half of them.
About 45% are still chapels, with 40% having other uses and 15% demolished.
Alternative uses include pubs, museums, theatres, workshops, homes and places of worship for other faiths.
The chapel is the key evidence of the nonconformist religious tradition which was at the centre of life in many Welsh communities during the 19th and early 20th Centuries.
Curators of an exhibition of chapel memorabilia at Ceredigion Museum in Aberystwyth have said that chapels are closing at the rate of one a week.
Architectural investigator Susan Fielding said the RCAHMW, based in Aberystwyth, had been documenting chapels for several years using census and other historical records, in association with the chapel heritage society Capel.
She said they were now keen to carry out a snapshot survey of the use of remaining chapels before any more disappear.
"Chapels are one of the classes of building most at threat of closure in Wales," she said.
"The wealth of variety that exists within chapel building, and precise principles of design that went into the architect-designed chapels, are now recognised as being on a par with other great public buildings of the late 19th Century.
"In a time when the official language of education and the workplace was English, it was the chapel that allowed much of the Welsh population to run part of their lives in Welsh and ensured the survival of the language in to the early 20th Century.
"People often talk about one chapel a week closing but there is little statistical information currently available that can inform the scale of the issue."
Since summer 2010 the commission has been working with volunteers and nonconformist denominations to classify the use of chapel buildings.
Many people have used photo-sharing websites to contribute to the survey with the results appearing on the commission's Coflein website.
The findings of the Chapels Project will be published in a book about chapel architecture along with related web resources in 2012 and 2013.
The information will also be used by the commision and authorities like the heritage bod Cadw to identify historic chapel buildings at risk.
Anyone willing to help with the project can contact Susan Fielding at [email protected] or 01970 621219.
The 25-year-old French rider, who was second in the British MX1 championship, was preparing for the race in Cassel.
Lenoir was reportedly airlifted to hospital in Lille following the crash.
"The Honda Racing Family are sad to hear of the tragic loss of Steven Lenoir following a crash in Cassel," said 24MX Lucas Oil Honda, who Lenoir rode for in the MXGP last year.
"Our thoughts are with his family, friends, team and fans at this sad time."
British superbike rider Alex Lowes added: "Absolutely gutted, always gave everything he had on and off the track RIP mate."
The SNP leader admitted the word "national" could be "hugely problematic" during a debate at the Edinburgh International Book Festival.
She was speaking with Turkish author Elif Shafak, who said the word had a "negative meaning" to her.
However, the first minister insisted her party was about self government and was not insular.
Ms Shafak, who was wrongly accused of public denigration of Turkishness for her novel The Bastard Of Istanbul, told the audience at the sold-out event: "Coming from Turkey, seeing the experiences there, not only in Turkey, across the Middle East, the Balkans, for us for instance the word nationalism is, for me personally, has a very negative meaning because I've seen how ugly it can get, how destructive it can become, how violent it can become and how it can divide people into imaginary categories and make them lose that cultural coexistence.
"Whereas when I come here, I hear the word nationalism being used in a different way and I felt that, can nationalism ever be benign? Can it ever be a benevolent thing? So there is a part of me that doubts that very much."
In response, Ms Sturgeon admitted: "The word is difficult."
She said: "If I could turn the clock back, what 90 years, to the establishment of my party, and choose its name all over again, I wouldn't choose the name it has got just now, I would call it something other than the Scottish National Party.
"Now people say why don't you change its name now? Well that would be far too complicated. Because what those of us who do support Scottish independence are all about could not be further removed from some of what you would recognise as nationalism in other parts of the world.
"Two things I believe that I think run so strongly through the Scottish independence movement are firstly that it doesn't matter where you come from, if Scotland is your home and you live here and you feel you have a stake in the country, you are Scottish and you have as much say over the future of the country as I do. And that is a civic, open, inclusive view of the world that is so far removed from what you would rightly fear.
"Secondly one of the great motivators for those of us who support Scottish independence is wanting to have a bigger voice in the world, it's about being outward looking and internationalist, not inward looking and insular.
"So the word is hugely, hugely problematic sometimes for those of us who ...but Scottish independence is about self-government, it's about running your own affairs and making your own mark in the world.
"So yes words do matter but I think we can't change the connotations that the word has in other parts of the world, what we have to do is just demonstrate through words of our own, through deeds, through actions, through how we carry ourselves, that we stand for something completely different to all of that."
The teenager played Sir William Walton's Cello Concerto with the Northern Sinfonia at the competition's final at The Sage in Gateshead.
Accepting the £2,000 prize, van der Heijden, from East Sussex, said she felt "amazing" and "so, so lucky".
She beat pianist Yuanfan Yang and Charlotte Barbour-Condini, the final's first ever recorder player.
Born in England to a Dutch father and a Swiss mother, van der Heijden started her musical education with the recorder at the age of four.
She soon progressed to the piano and then the cello at the age of six.
Since late 2008, she has been a student of the British-Russian cellist Leonid Gorokhov. Last year they performed together at the Brighton Festival and in Germany.
Her winning performance on Sunday was something of a risk as the Walton concerto is not a well-known piece.
"It's not played very often, but I think it deserves to be played," she said. "The colours and ideas in it... it's a very imaginative piece."
Conductor Kirill Karabits, who was leading the Sinfonia, said: "I really understand why she wanted to play that. It suits her really well. She enters in the music and it changes her."
The Young Musician contest is held biennially, and was previously known as Young Musician Of The Year.
The competition's last winner - pianist Lara Melda - gave a guest performance at Sunday's final.
Her predecessor, trombone player Peter Moore, became the youngest ever winner when he took the prize aged 12 in 2008.
Conal Corbett, 20, from Oisin House, Victoria Parade in the city has already spent seven months on remand for four terrorist-related offences.
The judge said there was nothing to suggest Corbett was involved in preparing or setting the bomb in place.
At Belfast Crown Court on Monday, he was sentenced to 18 months suspended for two years.
Corbett was linked to the incident because of the purchase of top-up cards for mobile phones used in the bomb plot.
The judge said the bomb did not go off, but, it had the potential to cause "fatal injury to police officers." A controlled explosion was carried out on the device at the Crumlin Road junction with Brompton Park on 1 May.
In court on Monday, the judge took into account that Corbett was just 18 years old when he committed the offences.
At a previous court hearing, Corbett was charged with collecting documents and having articles likely to be of use to terrorists and possessing a handwritten note about a rifle and ammunition.
He subsequently pleaded guilty to four offences - two counts of possessing items for terrorist-related offences, namely the mobile phone and two top-up vouchers; collecting or making records of information for terrorism and also possessing documents useful for terrorism.
His defence barrister said that Corbett's offences came at a time when there was an "element of naivety". He called him a "teenager with misguided romantic notions".
The barrister said that, while on remand, Corbett had been moved from Hydebank YOC to the dissident wing at Maghaberry due to a death threat, before being released on bail.
He said Corbett was now in a relationship with an older woman which has "brought a degree of maturity and insight into his life" and that said the incident had been a "stark wake-up call" for both him and his family.
Sentencing him, the judge said that he was taking into account both Corbett's age at the time, and also the fact that he had already served seven months in prison.
He warned him to "steer clear of criminal behaviour" or risk being sent back to prison.
The 26-year-old opening batsman left New Road at the end of last season after rejecting a new deal.
Instead of a commitment to winter training in Worcester, he opted to play grade cricket in Australia for his adopted club side Geelong.
But he is back in England and will play for Shropshire in the Unicorns Trophy.
The first of their four group games is on Sunday, 24 April against neighbours Herefordshire at London Road, Shrewsbury.
Oliver, who made two first-class centuries for Worcestershire in 2014 after making an exciting breakthrough in T20 cricket while still with Shropshire, has received interest over the winter from other first-class counties.
"It's the right place at the right time for me," said Oliver, who will play under Steve Leach, younger brother of Worcestershire vice-captain Joe Leach.
"It's going to be great to go back and play for Steve Leach. He was very loyal to me when I was captain, so I can hopefully be in a position to repay some of the loyalty he gave me and make sure we progress through the group stages.
"I presume that availability's going to be good for the one-dayers. If we can emulate some of the success I've had with Shropshire in the past, that will be fantastic."
Shropshire have also signed fast bowler Alex Wyatt for the 2016 season, following his release by Leicestershire last summer.
They also brought in former Yorkshire and Derbyshire left-arm spinner David Wainwright in December.
Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili said Mr Shevardnadze, a former Soviet foreign minister, had "greatly contributed to the end of Cold War and the establishment of a new world order" while President Giorgi Margvelashvili praised his role in establishing a new Georgia and setting it on a Western path.
Other Georgian officials made their way to the Krtsanisi residency in Tbilisi, where Mr Shevardnadze had lived since he stepped down in 2003, against the backdrop of protests.
But, hours after his death, a group of supporters of the man he replaced as president, Zviad Gamsakhurdia, staged a rally outside the late leader's home, demanding that Mr Shevardnadze and his family "be brought to justice".
Promoted to the post of Soviet Foreign Minister in 1985, Mr Shevardnadze soon gained the image of a modern and liberal politician, a contrast from the elite in Moscow at that time. He was known as the Silver Fox for his white hair and his reputation for cunning.
To Alexander Rondeli, president of the Georgian Foundation for Strategic and International Studies, Mr Shevardnadze was "an outstanding politician".
"He played a very important role in the last days of the Soviet Union during perestroika (restructuring), in improving relations with the West, in re-uniting Germany and in finishing the war in Afghanistan," he says.
Historian Vazha Kiknadze described Mr Shevardnadze as a smart, flexible politician who had felt immediately where "the wind was blowing".
"I think he realised that the old Soviet system was falling apart and there was a need to change policy and himself. But it was not easy, especially for those who came from the Soviet past," he added.
But his popularity was always considered greater abroad than in his homeland, where he returned in 1992 during one of the most difficult times in Georgian history.
"Georgia was not a sweet home at that time. Georgia was in a disastrous situation, it was practically a failed state," says Mr Rondeli. "Mr Shevardnadze came to help his country and he did his best and did what he knew."
Some in Georgia speak of his return as the "second coming". Before he was appointed foreign minister of the USSR in 1985 he had for 13 years held the post of first secretary of the Georgian Communist Party.
A well-known and respected figure in the West, he was seen at the time by many as the only person capable of leading Georgia out of the chaos that followed the overthrow of President Gamsakhurdia.
Although he was twice elected president, his popularity declined.
Unresolved conflicts in Georgia's breakaway regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, economic hardship and high corruption fuelled public resentment towards him.
"Eduard Shevardnadze was born a politician. He was a talented man, with a very good sense of humour. But he was the son of his epoch, the Soviet epoch," argues Mr Rondeli.
This held him back from escaping the Soviet style of rule, he adds. And he was unable to tackle rampant corruption and introduce much-needed reform.
He also tried to steer a twin course of pro-Western policy while at the same time trying not to irritate Moscow.
"The Russian establishment hated him because they believed he contributed to the division of the Soviet Union and he was a bit unhappy with the West. I think he was hoping that Georgia would receive greater help from the West because of his contribution to world peace," says Mr Rondeli.
As his popularity declined, so the number of enemies he had increased, both inside Georgia and abroad. Some supporters of his predecessor, Zviad Gamsakhurdia, also accused him of masterminding a coup.
He survived several assassination attempts between 1995 and 2000.
But his eventual downfall, when it came in 2003, was not violent. Thousands took to the streets in what became known as the Rose Revolution.
Although he kept a low profile after leaving power at his residency, questions over his legacy remain.
For former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev he was Georgia's "ideal representative", a talented man able to work with "all strata of society".
However, the man who toppled him from power, ex-President Mikheil Saakashvili, said it would be for historians to assess his achievements.
"I would say he was very tragic person," says Alexander Rondeli. "But now we have to remember him as the man who helped Georgia as much as he could."
Peterborough United defender Smith, 27, and 23-year-old Queen's Park Rangers striker Washington are part of NI manager Michael O'Neill's 24-man squad.
Derby County defender Chris Baird, on loan at Fulham, is ruled out by injury.
NI play Wales at the Cardiff City Stadium on Thursday 24 March and host Slovenia in Belfast on Monday 28 March.
Smith formerly played for Ballyclare Comrades and Ballymena United and spent three years with Bristol Rovers, before signing for Peterborough in 2014.
Washington, who qualifies to play for Northern Ireland through the grandparent rule, signed for QPR in January after scoring 27 goals in 82 appearances for Peterborough.

Much attention will focus on who will be handed a chance to impress at left-back, given that West Bromwich Albion defender Chris Brunt has been ruled out of this summer's Euro 2016 finals with an anterior cruciate ligament injury.
The matches will form part of the country's preparation for their first appearance at a major finals for 30 years, with fixtures against Belarus in Belfast on 27 May and Slovakia away on 4 June to follow.
Northern will face Poland in their first Euro 2016 Group C match on 12 June, with Ukraine their next opponents on 16 June, and Germany to follow on 21 June.
Prior to Wednesday's squad announcement, the Irish Football Association announced that O'Neill had agreed a new four-year deal to continue as manager of the national team.
Northern Ireland squad: Goalkeepers: Roy Carroll, Michael McGovern, Alan Mannus
Defenders: Aaron Hughes, Gareth McAuley, Jonny Evans, Craig Cathcart, Lee Hodson, Conor McLaughlin, Daniel Lafferty, Luke McCullough, Paddy McNair, Michael Smith
Midfielders: Steven Davis, Niall McGinn, Oliver Norwood, Shane Ferguson, Stuart Dallas
Forwards: Kyle Lafferty, Jamie Ward, Josh Magennis, Billy McKay, Liam Boyce, Conor Washington
The European Union is now risking the same thing by trying to bring Ukraine into the West without reference to economic reality or the willingness of European publics to bear the enormous costs involved, and at a time when the EU itself is in deepening crisis.
Russia is suffering badly as a result of Western economic sanctions - but Ukraine's situation is far worse, with a predicted fall in GDP of 7% this year.
If this decline continues, the Ukrainian state will face collapse,
Throughout the 23 years since the end of the Soviet Union, too many members of the Western media and policy worlds have ignored or misrepresented key aspects of the Ukrainian-Russian economic relationship.
This allowed them in turn to ignore crucial features of the economic balance of power in Ukraine between Russia and the West.
In their zeal to denounce Russia for putting pressure on Ukraine over gas supplies, Western commentators usually neglected to mention that, through cheap gas and lenient payment terms, Russia was in fact subsidising the Ukrainian economy to the tune of several billion dollars each year - many times the total of Western aid during this period.
This allowed the same commentators not to address the obvious question of whether Western states would be willing to pay these billions in order to take Ukraine out of Russia's sphere of influence and into that of the West.
Western commentators were not wrong to portray Russia as supporting a deeply corrupt and semi-authoritarian system of government in Ukraine - but they too often forgot to mention that trade with Russia has also been responsible for preserving much of the Ukrainian economy.
It is not just that Russia remains Ukraine's largest partner, with trade in 2013 exceeding that with the whole of the EU; it is also a question of what is being traded. Ukraine exports manufactured goods to Russia, thereby supporting what is left of Ukrainian industry.
To the European Union, Ukraine mostly sends raw materials and agricultural products - with the latter in particular heavily restricted by EU quotas and tariffs.
Ignoring this enabled Western commentators to ignore the question of how - in order to move towards the EU - Ukraine could restrict its trading relationship with Russia without ruining its economy in the process; or, on the other hand, whether the EU would be willing to change its own rules so as to admit Ukrainian imports.
Finally, very few Western commentators indeed have mentioned what is perhaps the most significant aspect of the Ukrainian-Russian relationship, namely that Ukrainians are entirely free to move to Russia to work, and to work in the vast majority of jobs and professions.
As a result of Russia's much more successful economy, more than three million Ukrainians are now working in Russia, and sending remittances to their families in Ukraine - a vital contribution to the economies of several Ukrainian regions.
This is at least three times the number of Ukrainians working legally in the whole of the European Union.
In order to bring Ukraine into the West, would EU members be willing to allow free movement of Ukrainian labour?
And - as is necessary if the EU is to turn Ukraine into a strong anti-Russian ally - to do so not in some almost impossible future of Ukrainian EU membership, but tomorrow?
The answer is obvious.
The UK Independence Party is soaring in the polls and mounting a strong campaign to take Britain out of the European Union in a referendum backed by the Conservatives and scheduled for 2017.
All over the EU, right-wing parties are gathering strength.
In France, sober commentators are warning that there is a real chance that in 2022 the National Front could win the French elections and Marine Le Pen could become President of France.
And all of these developments are driven above all by hostility to immigration.
On the one hand, therefore, the West is clearly not prepared to make the economic sacrifices necessary to support the Ukrainian economy in the face of Russian hostility.
On the other, the existing conflict in Ukraine makes it impossible for any Ukrainian government to conduct the kind of economic and political reforms on which the EU is insisting, and on which Ukrainian progress towards the West depends.
By slashing subsidies and closing down much of Ukrainian industry, such reforms would drive much of the population of eastern and southern Ukraine into the arms of Russia.
By attacking corruption, they would destroy the position of oligarchs in those regions who are key to enforcing Kiev's authority there.
Kiev's dependence on these oligarchs and on nationalist militias to fight the war in eastern Ukraine represents a serious and growing threat to Ukrainian democracy and to the spread of liberal values in Ukraine.
A worrying sign in this regard was the appointment last month of Vadim Troyan as regional chief of police in Kiev. His regiment, the Azov battalion, is known for links to the far right and his promotion seems largely in reward for his group's participation in the fighting in eastern Ukraine.
This was counter-balanced by the appointment of a Jewish speaker in Parliament.
But the lessons of all this should be obvious.
The West simply does not have the means or the will to integrate Ukraine into the West while isolating it from Russia.
The effort to do so is not strengthening but undermining Ukrainian democracy.
If there is to be any chance of Ukrainian economic and political progress, a compromise must be found whereby Ukraine can continue to trade as openly as possible with both the EU and Russia and Ukrainians can continue to work freely in Russia.
That would leave Ukraine free to carry out the internal reforms that it needs to undertake, whether or not it is headed for EU membership.
This will be impossible unless at the same time there is a political compromise with Russia; and the terms of such a compromise are equally obvious.
In the first place, Ukraine should be neutralised.
This cuts both ways. Russia would formally have to abandon - as in effect it already has - hopes to bring Ukraine into a Russian-led bloc.
The West would formally have to abandon the possibility of bringing Ukraine into Nato; and the West too has in effect already done this by demonstrating again and again its unwillingness under any circumstances to fight to defend Ukraine.
As far as Ukraine's eastern Donbass region is concerned, any solution has to involve very extensive autonomy for the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, guaranteed by the international community - not the ridiculous offer of temporary three-year autonomy which Kiev has offered so far.
In addition, the EU should back the guarantee of Russian language rights in Ukraine - not because Moscow is demanding it, but because the West badly needs to assert its own values in the face of the growing power of neo-fascist groups in Ukraine.
Opposition to such a deal in certain Western quarters will be bitter; but once again, these opponents need to ask themselves just how much they are prepared to sacrifice and to risk in order to turn Ukraine into a pro-Western and anti-Russian state.
The time for blowhard posturing is over. The time for hard economic calculation has begun.

Prince Charles was presenting a digital replica of what could be oldest fragment of the Koran, discovered last year by the University of Birmingham.
In a written foreword, he hailed this "extraordinary" manuscript.
But he warned "so much of mankind's cultural heritage is being deliberately destroyed or threatened".
Prince Charles said these "remarkable leaves... represent a sacred document of immense of religious and cultural significance to people across the globe".
The display launches a year of cultural collaboration between the UK and the UAE, with the replica of the Koran fragments being presented to the crown prince of Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
Prince Charles said the manuscript's discovery had "captured the world's imagination".
"At a time when so much of mankind's cultural heritage is being deliberately destroyed or threatened, we can only be heartened by the discovery of a previously unrecognised treasure," he wrote.
The so-called Islamic State group has deliberately smashed historical artefacts and cultural sites in Iraq and Syria.
The original Koran fragment, at least 1,370 years old, remains in the University of Birmingham.
The university had held the manuscript since the 1920s, but when it was radio-carbon dated last year it was found to be much older than anyone had expected.
The range of dates, established by tests carried out by the University of Oxford, showed that the manuscript was among the earliest surviving fragments of the Koran and could be the oldest in existence.
The parchment, with verses of the Koran written on either sheep or goatskin, was put on public display in Birmingham.
But for the first time, a digital replica of the manuscript has been taken out of the UK and is being put on show at events in the United Arab Emirates.
It will also mark the symbolic return, at least in replica form, of a manuscript that was made in the Middle East in the earliest years of the Muslim faith.
An investigation into the likely origin of the Birmingham manuscript showed that it was related to a similar document held in Paris, which had been brought to Europe by a vice-consul of Napoleon.
The Birmingham manuscript had been acquired in the 1920s by Alphonse Mingana, an Assyrian, from what is now modern-day Iraq, whose collecting trips to the Middle East were funded by the Cadbury family.
The university's vice-chancellor, Sir David Eastwood, said the Birmingham Koran manuscript was of "huge significance to Muslim heritage and the academic study of Islam".
But he said that there might be other "hidden treasures" in the Mingana Collection at the university, which represented one of the biggest collections of such material in Europe.
There have been claims that the fragment in Birmingham is of even greater significance in the history of the Koran.
Jamal bin Huwaireb, managing director of the Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Foundation, an educational foundation set up by the ruler of Dubai, said that he believes the pages discovered in Birmingham are from the first Koran commissioned by Abu Bakir Al Siddiq, the first caliph after the Prophet Muhammad, who reigned between 632 and 634.
"I personally examined this ancient parchment. In my opinion these fragments of the holy Koran were neatly written on a special material and have been produced for someone important such as the caliph.
"What is most particularly crucial is that the words in this ancient document perfectly match the words we Muslims read in the Koran today," said Mr bin Huwaireb.
Mitch Hancox gave the hosts an early advantage when he shot past Elliot Justham from long range.
Luke Guttridge, however, deservedly levelled matters for Dagenham five minutes before the break when he curled a free-kick around the wall and past a despairing Scott Flinders.
In the second half, Macclesfield defender Neill Byrne was red-carded when he pulled down Paul Benson in the box and Corey Whitely put John Still's men 2-1 up from the spot.
Substitute Jordan Maguire-Drew turned the away side's advantage into a commanding cushion with two late goals, the second a beautiful dink over Flinders.

Lineups are announced and players are warming up.
Accies retained their Scottish Premiership status with a 1-0 play-off final win over Dundee United.
Relegated Inverness Caledonian Thistle have parted with manager Richie Foran.
"Had we been relegated, Martin would have still been the manager next season," Gray told BBC Radio Scotland's Sportsound.
"Never crossed my mind. Never sat down with the board and discussed it at any time during the season," Gray added.
"We didn't intend to and we always discuss things at the end of the season anyway."
Canning took charge after Alex Neil left for Norwich City in 2015 and, after avoiding relegation on Sunday, thanked the club for their loyalty.
He had been Neil's assistant when they won promotion from the Championship by beating Hibernian in a play-off the previous year.
Gray defended his players and staff, who have been criticised by some football pundits for the strength of their celebrations this time round despite finishing second bottom of the top flight.
"We had no plans to carry out any celebration, but the SPFL bring boards and sponsors want shouts after the game," said the chairman.
"It wasn't quite like our win at Hibs a couple of years back, obviously not.
"But you find yourself in the mood where you've just won the game, there's a lot of stress and tension attached to that game for everyone - management, staff, the board, the whole shooting match - and, when you actually win the game, there is a relief.
"So what you witnessed was not so much a celebration as a relief."
Gray, though, had backed his side to overcome United, who finished third in the Championship and were looking to return to the top flight after one season.
"Over the course of the last few weeks, we've been playing quite well and probably came good at the right time," he said.
"I was confident that, if we could get the ball down, which was difficult in that game because it was a bit frantic, we could win."
Gray stressed that Hamilton would have coped financially without making redundancies had they been relegated.
"At the bottom end of the Premiership, your distribution will be just over £1m or thereabouts from the league before you open your doors and sell tickets and hospitality," he added.
"If you get relegated in the play-off, you get a parachute payment of £500,000 and, if you are in the top four in the Championship, you would probably have a distribution of about £300,000.
"So your half a million and your three gives you £800,000, so you are only 200 grand short of if you are bottom six.
"So, effectively, for a club like Hamilton, or anyone else in that position, you've got a really good chance of coming back on a good budget."
He was 23-year-old Cameron Logan, who lived at the family home in Achray Place.
Officers have said the fire was started deliberately and Mr Logan's death is being treated as murder.
The attack on three other people, his girlfriend and his parents, who were injured in the fire is being treated as attempted murder.
The emergency services were called to the fire at about 07:25 on New Year's Day.
A 24-year-old woman was seriously injured in the fire and was taken to Queen Elizabeth University Hospital for treatment.
Two other people, a man and woman who are both 54, have been treated for smoke inhalation.
They are believed to be Cameron's parents David and Cathy Logan.
Police and fire service investigators later established the fire was started deliberately.
Det Ch Insp Bob Frew said: "Cameron had been out with his girlfriend celebrating Hogmanay and both had returned to his home in the early hours of the morning.
"Later that morning, a fire was set deliberately at the house. Cameron died at the scene. His parents, both 54 years of age, have since been released from hospital, however, his 24-year-old girlfriend remains in hospital where medical staff describe her condition as critical.
He added: "Officers are still at the house carrying out inquiries and are also in the area speaking to neighbours and checking CCTV.
"Although it was early on New Year's morning, it's possible that people were about, maybe walking their dogs or out jogging in or near the area. I would appeal to them or indeed anyone who was near Achray Place, who saw activity at the house prior to or after the fire to contact police."
Williams, 32, was suspended for four weeks after being sent off in the second Test against the Lions.
World Rugby had ruled the game against Counties Manukau and Taranaki on 11 August would not count in his ban.
It said it was "surprised" by the independent appeal committee decision.
Next Friday's match is a 'game of three halves', with the provincial sides meeting in a 40-minute game, before the All Blacks face each team in a 40-minute half.
The appeal committee ruled the match had sufficient meaning to be part of Williams' suspension.
New Zealand face the Wallabies at Sydney's ANZ Stadium on 19 August.
All Blacks assistant coach Ian Foster said common sense had prevailed.
He added: "If people turn up to watch this game, does it look like a match? Of course it does. Is it meaningful? Yes, it is.
"It's not a training run and you think about the Counties and Taranaki players - they're going to be going for it. It's a great opportunity for them and it's 80 minutes played under the normal laws of the game."
World Rugby said in a statement it was surprised by the committee's interpretation of the definition of a 'match' as regulations define that as "a game in which two teams compete against each other".
The US Embassy in the UK has not been singing from the same hymn sheet as the White House in recent days as it tries to soften the blow of Mr Trump's rebuke of how Khan has handled the London Bridge attacks.
While Mr Trump branded Khan's appeal for calm a "pathetic excuse" on social media, America's top diplomat to the Court of St James's - Chargé d'affaires ad interim and former Deputy Chief of Mission Lewis Lukens - praised the mayor's leadership.
The lack of co-ordination between the Trump administration and the US Foreign Service transpired without an ambassador spearheading America's diplomatic efforts in the country.
So how is the lack of a top US diplomat playing out in London?
The ambassador traditionally advocates for American interests in the UK, deciphers British politics and policies for the federal government and offers consular services to citizens, according to former US Ambassador to the Czech Republic, John Shattuck.
In times of crisis, however, the ambassador becomes a fulcrum between the two countries as they take part in intelligence sharing meetings and strategic planning sessions around cross-national issues like security.
"An ambassador, fully accredited by their country, may be able to enter meetings at a higher level than lower, professional staff," says Mr Shattuck, now a professor at Tufts University.
Without a proper ambassador in place, the flow of information could be impaired, he says, "but that's not a foregone conclusion. A second-in-command may well be given access."
After events like the London Bridge attack, an ambassador would usually express US sympathy and solidarity and ensure affected Americans were cared for - as Chargé d'affaires Lukens did, says W Robert Pearson, former US Ambassador to Turkey.
What was potentially missing at the weekend was an ambassador who was able to immediately reach high-ranking officials at the White House, the National Security Council or the Department of State to manage communications and set a tone moving forward.
"With such work in the moments after the tragedy, the transatlantic conversation might not have ended up characterised as an exchange between the president and Mayor Kahn, which now has gone so far as to bring about a rebuke of Mr Trump's comments from Prime Minister May," Pearson says.
"Not to put too fine a point on it, that missing piece allowed the exchanges to end up obscuring the message of solidarity which the American people would have wanted to convey, was owed to the UK and which the UK would have welcomed."
Trump put strains of special relationship
Seven ways the world has changed in Trump's 100 days
Still, there are limits to an ambassador's influence, especially in the age of Trump.
"How much that person would have been able to do to manage the intelligence leaks we'll never know," Mr Pearson says.
"To the White House, I doubt that having an ambassador present would have persuaded them to make maximum use of the embassy at such a critical moment."
The post has remained vacant since former Ambassador Matthew Barzun left on 18 January.
Mr Trump lashed out at Senate Democrats on Monday via Twitter for stalling confirmation hearings that would appoint key people to his administration, including ambassadors.
However, despite stating his intention to nominate businessman and New York Jets football team owner Woody Johnson as UK Ambassador, Trump has not yet done so - meaning there is no one for the Senate to confirm.
An official from the US Department of State referred queries about nominations to the White House, but said embassy and consular staff abroad were ready to help Americans in need of assistance.
Although gaps in foreign service coverage are not unusual during presidential transitions, the problem has been exacerbated by holes in the State Department's upper echelons, according to Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) Professor Erik Jones - including the absence of a permanent Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs.
While missions can operate under a chargé d'affaires, Jones said the White House was "not in sync" with its diplomatic corps thanks to the limited number of political appointees, as opposed to career professionals, who align with the president's views and can form effective conduits for his priorities.
May says Trump 'wrong' to criticise Khan
Trump renews feud with mayor of London
"That doesn't mean we don't have organisation," Mr Jones said. "It means we don't have a high-profile representative who is personally close to the president."
But it remains to be seen whether "hurt feelings and miscommunication" translate into institutional decisions with serious ramifications, such as a vacuum of power on the world stage, Mr Jones says.
"I think the obvious question is whether a president acting alone is capable of having a foreign policy - a complex beast that builds on multiple and overlapping relationships - and it seems as though one person cannot have all these relationships at the same time effectively," Jones said.
It is unclear if an ambassador will be appointed before Trump makes a landmark state visit to the UK, slated for later this year.
The Championship club, which is in a relegation battle, was set to conclude a deal with a US-based consortium led by John Jay Moores, on Friday.
The current owner Fawaz Al Hasawi later announced negotiations had "come to an end", leaving the fans threatening boycotts and planning protests.
The Nottingham Forest Supporters' Trust have urged him to resurrect the deal.
Live updates and more from Nottinghamshire.
Mr Al Hasawi, who took over at the City Ground in 2012 and claims to have invested over £100m, has seen his relationship with supporters break down amid accusations he is destroying the club.
In five years, the team has underachieved and attendances have dwindled, the club has been under a transfer embargo twice and faced several winding-up petitions.
The Kuwati national has also sacked seven managers, the latest being Philippe Montanier, on Saturday.
Supporters were also left angry at the £13m sale of talented teenager Oliver Burke, in August.
"It's really sad times for the club," said Richard Antcliff, the chair of the club's supporters trust.
"We thought the [takeover] deal was very close. It would have given us some very much needed leadership off it."
Mr Antcliff, who said contact with the club had been "patchy", added that Mr Al Hasawi has to explain his future plans.
"We're crying out for some communication around what the vision is.
"There's lots of angry fans and rightly so. We need to galvanise, put the pressure on Fawaz [Al Hasawi] in a respectful way to say 'give us some of these answers, your ideas'."
The BBC has attempted to speak with Mr Al Hasawi without success, but he said in a statement on Friday the takeover deal "was not in the interests of the long-term future of [Nottingham Forest]."
Anthony Walgate, from Hull, Daniel Whitworth and Jack Taylor were murdered by Port in 2014 and 2015.
Their relatives, Sarah Sak, Amanda Pearson and Donna and Jenny Taylor, told the Victoria Derbyshire programme the Met "must be held accountable".
Ms Sak accused the police investigating the murders of homophobia.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) has launched an investigation part of which will examine whether discrimination played any part in the original police investigations.
Ms Sak, who is Mr Walgate's mother, said: "I keep thinking this: If they were four girls would it have been different?
"If Anthony had been a 23-year-old girl and then Gabriel and then Daniel, if they had all been girls in that area found in suspicious circumstances I think there would have been a lot more media coverage as well and a massive part of this investigation by the police was homophobic, I really do think that."
Port was sentenced to life in prison last month for the murders of all three men and of the murder of Gabriel Kovari, 22.
At the launch of the IPCC investigation commander Stuart Cundy, of the Met's Specialist Crime and Operations command, said he did not personally believe the Met was institutionally homophobic.
He highlighted the work the Met has done with LGBT communities both in the past and now to bolster relationships and promote confidence plus work to raise awareness of LGBT issues amongst officers and across the Met.
Donna and Jenny Taylor said they felt the Met played "a massive part" in their brother Jack's death.
Donna said: "Stephen Port obviously took Jack's life but we feel that the police didn't do their jobs, with any of the families.
"As far as we're concerned, they have played a massive part in Jack's death because if they had done their jobs properly, Jack would still be here today.
"There is no other way of looking at that and we feel we want them to be held accountable. We want the answers of why they didn't do this, didn't do that."
The officer in charge of the specialist crime and operations command has written to the families of the victims to apologise for missed opportunities and offer his condolences.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) has launched an investigation.
Ms Sak, from Hull, in East Yorkshire, told the programme the Met's apology was "a little too late".
She added: "He [Port] had planted GMB on them. [The Police thought] 'young gay lad. Oh he's had chemsex. Oh, done'.
"They were like that from the beginning, they just refused to investigate anything, didn't matter what you said to them they [just kept telling us] there was nothing to investigate."
Amanda Pearson told the programme: "Daniel wasn't a party boy… they [the police] didn't want to know about the personality of my son, they didn't want to know really, they had made up their minds and that came across."
And Jenny Taylor said: "We kept saying to them [the police] from the start if this was a woman you'd be doing a lot more than what you are." | A man has been arrested following an eight-hour siege in Caerphilly.

But when it comes to the top academic jobs they stand accused of failing to give women a fair chance.
In the UK, only 24% of professors are women, even though half of lecturers are women. There are even fewer female university heads, with women accounting for 18% of vice chancellors or principals.
This isn't unique to the UK - a report from the United Nations shows a similar pattern of a lack of female professors across universities in the United States, Japan, China, Brazil, France and South Africa.
Elizabeth Nyamayaro, senior adviser to UN Women, says there needs to be direct intervention to change this, including the controversial idea of imposing quotas.
"There is a need to be pro-active, otherwise it will never happen," she says.
The UN identifies 10 "impact champions" trying to resolve this gender gap - including Paul Boyle, vice chancellor of Leicester University.
Prof Boyle has a target for a 1.5% increase each year in women professors, with the aim of having 30% of professorships held by women by 2020.
"I'll be frank, if we felt we could go faster than that we would," says Prof Boyle.
Other universities are going for bigger increases from lower starting points. The University of Hong Kong will use "compulsory diversity" in its shortlists to almost treble the proportion of women in dean-level positions from 9% to 26%.
The University of Nagoya in Japan will have women-only jobs, with the aim of a 75% increase in senior faculty positions, but only up to 20%.
But why is there such a huge gap in the first place?
Dame Athene Donald, professor of experimental physics at the University of Cambridge, blames a "subtle blend of cultural expectations".
This includes women not aiming high enough and a lack of relevant mentors to support their ambitions.
They can also face bias, "unconscious or otherwise", she says.
Prof Donald, who was her university's gender equality champion, says this might not be overt prejudice, but a corrosive form of "holding women to a different standard".
She has seen "appalling references" for female academics, using words such as "feisty", which would never be used to describe a man.
"It's a system that expects more of a woman than a man," she says.
Prof Donald also believes "blokeishness" among undergraduates is getting worse rather than better, with a "lad culture" of excessive drinking and online sexism.
Ms Nyamayaro, who runs a UN project to engage male support for gender equality, says part of the problem has been that the gender gap has not been presented as everyone's responsibility.
"It's been seen as a women's issue, lead by women and for women. We haven't done a good job in engaging the other half of society," she says.
Another practical obstacle for women academics is that they are more likely to have career breaks to raise a family, disrupting the trajectory of promotions.
Leicester University is adjusting the selection process to address this.
"At the moment we're not judging the CVs and the backgrounds of people fairly, we're not taking into account that women are more likely to have had breaks in their career," says Prof Boyle.

The number of academic papers and research grants are "often taken as a pretty strong measure of your academic credibility".
Prof Boyle says this can work against women who might have produced less work, but of a higher standard.
"We're working with interview panels to prioritise quality over quantity," he says.
He argues this isn't positive discrimination, but a fairer way of choosing candidates.
But he also says "expectations" can play a part in who gets the top jobs.
"It's driven by the personal expectations of men and women and by the expectations of those who are assessing them."
But Prof Donald says she is "nervous" about the use of quotas. Women who are appointed can face the accusation that they only succeeded because of their gender.
"It's not healthy to feel that might be how you got the job."
But what makes the lack of female professors even more glaring is that universities have an increasingly female population.
The problem at undergraduate level is the shortage of male applicants.
The head of the Ucas admissions service, Mary Curnock Cook, this summer made the remarkable forecast that if present trends continue "girls born this year will be 75% more likely to go to university than their male peers".
This also raises another and unknown part of the current professorial gender gap. Is it a time-lagged, fossilised reflection of the peer group who entered academic jobs 30 or 40 years ago, in a much more male-dominated era?
Two of the world's most famous universities - Harvard and Oxford - have their first ever female heads. In the case of Louise Richardson at Oxford, she is the first woman to lead the university after almost 800 years.
Are the universities already catching up?
Prof Donald is not convinced by this time-lag theory, saying that rising numbers of women students and lecturers has not translated into equivalent increases in female professors.
Either way Prof Boyle says it's not enough to wait for time to resolve this inequality - because it would take another 39 years to even out at the current rate of change.
Is there also something about university cultures that can appear to be full of innovation, but below the surface remain deeply entrenched in tradition?
In the US, Ana Mari Cauce last year became the first female president of the University of Washington.
She said universities can have a strong cultural identity which can make those who don't quite fit in feel like outsiders.
Dr Cauce warned that universities could appear to be publicly supportive of diversity, while at the same time avoiding "difficult conversations" about putting it into practice.
Last week, Premiership Rugby said "confidential agreements" were reached following "certain issues" with some clubs over last season's £4.76m limit.
Northampton are among nine clubs who have since denied their involvement.
Robson said Saints paid "up to the maximum of the cap but not beyond".
Media playback is not supported on this device
"I think some of the clubs, count me in, have had an anger about the whole episode," Robson told BBC Radio Northampton.
"Clearly there have been two clubs that have had settlements because of disagreements as opposed to proven breaches.
"One of the main objectives of the salary cap was an equal playing field so that 12 clubs could go out on the pitch fairly, much similar in the quality of their playing departments and that would make life very competitive out on the pitch.
"When you believe that some clubs have not complied with the salary cap regulations and you're one that has, it can make you angry to think 'have we just lost a game and was it on an even footing?'."
On Thursday, Saints, Gloucester, London Irish and Exeter joined Wasps, Harlequins, Newcastle, Sale and Worcester in confirming that they were not among the clubs that Premiership Rugby reached agreements with over last season's cap.
The salary cap for this season is £5.5m, rising to £6.5m in 2016-17 and £7m the season afterwards.
"We're not a team that's breached the salary cap," Exeter head coach Rob Baxter told BBC Sport.
"I know some clubs have made comment on whether they've backed a cover-up or whatever, as far as I'm concerned we know what our budget is here as a club.
"We've worked very hard and from the first day I was head coach, I've known what my budget is, the directors here and the people here have worked very hard to get us the best budget we can."
In a statement, Gloucester said the club was "fully supportive of the salary cap".
"As a club, we always try to operate with the highest integrity and we are fully committed to making the salary cap work," the statement said.
"As such, in light of current questioning, would like to communicate that Gloucester Rugby is not one of the clubs to which Premiership Rugby referred within its statement as being involved in conversations relating to access to information and to commercial contracts where there were differences of opinion as to the inclusion or not in a salary cap."
London Irish said in a statement: "London Irish can confirm it was not subjected to recent PRL salary cap investigations. The club fully supports and has adhered to the salary cap regulations since its inception and will continue to do so."
Although he had not made the squad for the previous qualifier in Slovakia a month before, Oliver Burke still believed his coach Gordon Strachan would swivel on his seat and turn to the recently acquired RB Leipzig signing in the hope that he would change the game.
In front of the famous Wembley crowd Burke believed he would be Scotland's hero.
Yet the Scotland coach did not pick the 19-year-old talent. In fact, he didn't pick anyone at all until Gary Cahill had made it 3-0 11 minutes later, when defensive midfielder James McArthur was brought on to limit the damage already done.
"I'm sure any player would say that he wasn't very happy," Burke told BBC Scotland when asked about that day. "But really I think I just had to take a step back and realise what I'd done and where I am.
"Obviously I'm still very proud to be a part of the team and at the end of the day it's the manager's choice."

Any misplaced assumptions of playing a key role for the national team that night are quickly excused when consideration is made for the hype that has followed Burke to Leipzig over the past eight months.
Compared to Real Madrid star Gareth Bale owing to his style of play, and touted as a future Scotland star, the German club were inundated with requests to interview Burke when he first arrived. Despite only scoring his first goal for Nottingham Forest 11 months prior to that night at Wembley, the young talent was already an established name within the European game.
"I was really taken aback," said Burke when asked about the attention. "I didn't really think this was a part of football as much. When you're a young kid you don't see these things. You just see footballers playing and enjoying it out on the pitch."
Despite his new-found fame, Burke had joined a club that stresses the importance of team performances over individualism and was quickly made aware that he had plenty to learn before he would be stealing the headlines in Leipzig, as he had done in Nottingham.
After setting up the winning goal against Borussia Dortmund in the opening game of the season, Burke's coach Ralph Hassenhuttl chose to instead note that the player had an "empty hard drive" - referring to his reluctance to track back and follow his marker.
"It took me a long while to get used to it and get me up and running," said Burke when asked about the re-education he has had since leaving England. "There are so many little bits in this team. So if you're not doing your job as well as you possibly can then it can cost you in the Bundesliga. That's how tough this league is."

Ralf Rangnick, RB Leipzig's director of football, was the man who brought Burke to Germany after watching a video prepared by the club's analytics team of the Forest prospect. After just 10 minutes the former Stuttgart, Schalke and Hoffenheim coach decided he had seen enough. Two weeks later Burke was on a plane to Leipzig sitting alongside Rangnick, as he explained the club's playing ethos.
"When we saw and scouted him we could easily see the weapons he has," the 58-year-old told BBC Scotland. "He's very powerful, very fast and physically strong. He's good on the ball for a player of that size and that tempo. Where he still has to improve is tactically - 'when do I have to do what?' - our style of football is a little bit different from what he was used to in England."
He added: "Obviously those are things that nobody has told him in the past and he has to learn that. He has improved but there is still plenty of room for further improvement."
Rangnick gives off a headmaster-like demeanour that fits in with the manner in which Leipzig intend to run their club. Buying young, raw talent to develop in to continental stars is the plan at a fledging club backed by the ambitious energy drink makers Red Bull.
Despite sitting second in the German top division, the average age of Burke's teammates is just 24.2 years. In Leipzig, the 19-year-old has not joined a normal football club, but instead a purpose-built academy in one of the best football leagues in the world.
"I've loved every moment of it and I just love the fact that I'm getting better and better," noted Burke. "That's what I came here for. I wouldn't want to go to a club not knowing that I'm going to get better than what I was at Nottingham Forest."
He added: "I've got to take a bit of pressure off myself at times because I do pressure myself, but I'm enjoying it."
Indeed, it may be some time before Burke displaces striker Timo Werner, the 21-year-old German talent who has scored 14 Bundesliga goals this season and just earned a call-up to his national team. Or even 25-year-old Bundesliga player-of-the-year contender Emil Forsberg on the left wing.
Yet in Leipzig the Scottish international continues to work hard as the country's most exciting work in progress.
Signeul, who has guided the side to their first major finals, hopes the group ties against England, Spain and Portugal will promote long-term benefits for the game in Scotland.
"This competition is so important to sell the game to all these young girls," the Swede told BBC Scotland.
"You can feel it is something special."
After 12 years in charge, Signeul will step down from her role after this summer's finals in the Netherlands to become manager of Finland's national women's team. Shelley Kerr is her successor.
She has witnessed improvements in the standard of players at her disposal and in the coverage of women's football, but hopes for much more.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Signeul said: "If girls get positive vibes around women's football, positive comments among the media, we can get more investment into the game and get more opportunities to play football.
"The girls would get more opportunities to become as good as they can, with more professional contracts in Scotland, maybe semi-professional teams, and do what they do in the England.
"For the moment, we have 11,000 players, but that hopefully grows and when it grows to maybe 20,000 we should have double the amount of talent to pick from."
Signeul, speaking at her squad's camp at Airth Castle, said preparations for the finals in the Netherlands are going well.
The team's final warm-up match, and Signeul's last on Scottish soil, is against the Republic of Ireland on Friday at Raith Rovers' Stark's Park.
Goalkeeper Gemma Fay is expected to win her 200th cap in that match, having made her Scotland debut against Czech Republic in 1998.
Signeul admits that injuries to key players such as Kim Little and Jen Beattie have had "a little bit of an impact" on how she wanted the team to play, but says she has adjusted things to suit.
She is not keen to set a points target for Scotland in their tough Euro 2017 group but instead focuses on getting the best out of her squad.
"Success for me looks like getting the players to come up to their full potential because then we will all have done absolutely everything that we can," said Signeul.
"Many times players go off the pitch feeling they have not done themselves justice. If they have done everything they could, we will see how far that takes us.
"That way, it may not be enough for three points or one point, but we will be proud of them anyway."
In all national elections, the BBC is legally required both by its own charter and electoral law to adopt a code of practice.
The basic principle behind this is the need for due impartiality of political coverage, as set out in the agreement accompanying the BBC Charter.
This requires the BBC over time to "give due weight and prominence to all the main strands of argument and to all the main parties."
So, on polling day specifically, the BBC (like other broadcasters, though they are covered by the Ofcom code rather than a charter) doesn't report on any of the election campaigns from 00.30 until polls close at 22.00 BST on TV, radio or bbc.co.uk.
However, online sites will not have to remove archived reports.
Coverage will be restricted to uncontroversial factual accounts, such as the appearance of politicians at polling stations or the weather.
Subjects which have been at issue or part of the campaign - or other controversial matters relating to the election - must not be covered on polling day, so the BBC's output cannot be seen as influencing the ballot while the polls are open.
No opinion poll on any issue relating to politics or the election can be published until after the polls have closed.
Whilst the polls are open, it is a criminal offence to publish anything about the way in which people have voted in that election.
The sequel was released in November 1989.

Furthermore, Biff's payment of his taxi ride with a thumb-print isn't totally dissimilar to how we now hail cars and cashlessly pay for them using Uber, Hailo, Lyft and innumerable other pick-up services.
Even the film's iconic hoverboard chase scene is no longer totally outlandish.
Lexus showed off a working hoverboard of its own in August, albeit one that relied on a hidden metal track being buried into the ground. More recently, skateboarder Tony Hawk was filmed trying out a rival version, called Hendo, based on similar magnet-based technology.
(The less said about non-hovering hoverboards the better.)
Barcode registration plates, however, have made little progress beyond the odd April fool.

When it comes to our own bodily care, we can't yet exfoliate away the years with a Doc-style "rejuvenation clinic" facial.
But the 6.7 million botox injections and 1.2 million chemical peels carried out in the US last year suggest many are at least trying.
BTTF's drones may only make fleeting appearances, but feel very "of the moment".
Media organisations, including the BBC, have started deploying camera-enabled aircraft to get new perspectives on the news - even if they might not be comfortable sending them into the kind of crowded situation USA Today's model films in the movie.
Dog-walking drones are also a real thing - at least if you believe everything you see on Vimeo and YouTube.
Another type of robot featured in the film is a mechanical car fuel attendant.
The Netherlands has already tested such a device a few years back, with the TankPitstop project, and Tesla is developing something similar for its electric vehicles.
We've, thankfully, been spared Holomax sequels to Jaws.
But the film industry hasn't given up on the idea of 3D technologies - its latest pitch is a laser-projection system said to deliver "brighter, crisper and clearer" images.

Back to the Future II was closer to the mark when it came to home entertainment.

Meanwhile, voice-controlled televisions are already a reality thanks to smart TVs from Samsung and Sony as well as set-top boxes from Amazon and Apple.
We get little hint at what Marty Jr sees via his hi-tech specs in the film, and their brand, JVC, is a much smaller force in consumer electronics than it once was.
But several of today's bigger names are betting on various forms of the tech, whether it's Microsoft's Hololens, Facebook's Oculus Rift virtual reality headset or version two of Google Glass.
The film's biggest miss, however, is arguably its lack of a smartphone.
Marty Jr is even seen using an AT&T payphone at one point - all the more ironic since the company was first to offer the iPhone.
It's not that BTTF's filmmakers didn't envision a data-connected world - a Skype-like video chat program features at one point showing off not only the caller but also private details about them - but repeatedly communication occurs via a TV rather than a handheld display.
Likewise, it's hard not to feel the film missed a trick by using a newspaper to warn of Marty Jr's impending arrest, instead of a touchscreen.
Stanley Kubrick's 2001 - released two decades earlier - had already featured its own "newspads".
And a campaigner trying to restore Hill Valley's clock tower even seems to be using a tablet in one of Back to the Future II's other scenes.
It's hard to be too critical, however, when you consider that the World Wide Web was only invented the same year that the film was released, and Tim Berners-Lee did not create its first browser until the following year.
That might explain why CD-Roms and their larger counterparts Laser Discs feature so prominently in piles of rubbish.
Similarly, in an age before email even got its name, it's perhaps not surprising that the film's futurists imagined we would want to fax from the pavement.
But even that does not quite explain why the McFlys' home has quite so many fax machines.
Computer-controlled ovens are still a relative rarity - although a robotic chef was indeed one of the highlights of a recent start-up showcase in San Francisco.
Sadly, pizza hydrators are still the stuff of pepperoni-fuelled dreams - and selfie-taking fridges have proved to be scant compensation.
BTTF does score a hit with computer-controlled door locks - Yale was the latest to release such a product earlier this month.
But the idea of an Ortho-lev machine holding George McFly upside down seems like a rush of blood to the writers' heads - until you realise it was only included in the movie to disguise the fact that a different actor was portraying the character than in the first film.
After falling sharply on Thursday, Brent crude fell below $47 a barrel at one point, before recovering to $49.14.
Prices are still around their lowest level since November, when the Opec oil producers' group agreed to cut output.
Investors are worried that Opec nations will fail to rein in output further at their next meeting later this month.
The price of US crude also dropped sharply on Friday morning, but then recovered to stand at $46.28 a barrel.
Oil prices are down by about 15% since the start of the year, despite Opec's agreement in November which cut output by 1.8 million barrels a day.
Supply is still outpacing demand, with US oil production alone up by 10% since summer 2016.
It now pumps out some 9.3 million barrels a day - not far short of the two giant oil producing nations of Russia and Saudi Arabia.
Opec's deal in November, and subsequent supply cuts agreed by other oil producing countries, helped to boost prices earlier this year, said David Hunter, an energy industry analyst with Schneider Electric.
But the market has been "jittery" as countries decide whether to extend those cuts, he said.
Opec and other oil nations are meeting on 25 May where they will discuss the success of the six-month cutback and whether it should be deepened.
Russia, one of the non-Opec countries to sign up to the cuts, gave mixed signals on Thursday about whether it would continue.
"While the cartel is expected to extend a self-imposed production cap by another six months, it will be a challenge to convince several non-Opec members to follow suit," said Abhishek Kumar, senior energy analyst at Interfax Energy's Global Gas Analytics.
"Persistent growth in US oil production ... will also make extensions of the Opec cap beyond 2017 unlikely."
Data released on Tuesday indicated US crude stocks fell 930,000 barrels last week. Analysts had been expecting a drop of 2.3 million barrels.
The child, aged six or seven, is believed to have been put into a black Volkswagen van in Redstone Hill, Redhill, on Thursday afternoon.
The owner of a van pictured in a CCTV image circulated by police has been traced and ruled out of the inquiry.
Surrey Police said officers were treating the report with the "utmost urgency and seriousness".
A member of the public told Surrey Police they saw the boy being taken at 16:43 BST on Thursday.
Speaking at Reigate Police Station, Supt Chris Edwards said the young boy was seen at the roadside "tampering" with a small silver and yellow mountain bike, when he was approached by the van, near the train station, between 16:30 BST and 17:00 BST.
The witness described the child as being "taken from the roadside into a vehicle," he said.
A bike, believed to belong to the child, was left behind.
He added: "Anyone who knows anybody who has a vehicle that fits the description that was in the area yesterday, or if that was you, then please contact us immediately in order that we can establish the safety of that young child."
The child is described as white, approximately 4ft (1.2m) tall, and wearing a red T-shirt and navy blue jeans.
No parent has reported a child matching the description as being missing.
"We are treating the matter with the utmost urgency and seriousness as parents would expect us to do," said Mr Edwards.
The police helicopter based at Redhill has been involved in the search.

With the Premier League team leading 4-3 in the shootout, Posh striker Lee Angol had his spot-kick saved by Ben Foster to take the Baggies through.
Earlier, Jon Taylor - who scored the equaliser at The Hawthorns to take the tie to a replay - put Posh ahead.
But Darren Fletcher smashed in an equaliser for the visitors, who will play Reading in the fifth round.
Like Angol, Peterborough midfielder Martin Samuelsen also had a spot-kick saved in the shootout, but his miss was cancelled out when Fletcher slid his penalty wide.
Relive West Brom's win over Peterborough
Listen: "West Brom have got off the hook"
On the balance of play, Posh may feel aggrieved not to have won.

Led by a superb man-of-the-match display by West Ham loanee Samuelsen, Posh looked equal to a side 36 places above them in the football pyramid.
And the team eighth in League One almost opened the scoring when Harry Beautyman's effort was blocked by a diving James Chester.
Beautyman had another chance in the first half, but allowed the ball to run across him instead of taking an instinctive shot in the area, which allowed Foster to get across to save.
Posh got their reward when Taylor latched on to a ball by Angol, ran into the area and shot across Foster to put Graham Westley's side ahead.
West Brom came into the match having won just one of their past eight away matches, and without a Premier League win in five.

Manager Tony Pulis was dealt an early setback when defender Gareth McAuley had to come off injured.
But after a sustained spell of pressure from Posh, the Baggies, without a shot on target in three of their past four league games, finally found their feet late in the first half.
However, defender Chester somehow missed the target from a few yards out following a corner.
After another lull early in the second half, going behind gave them a second wind, and Fletcher scored his first FA Cup goal in eight years when he smashed home after James McClean's cross was only partially cleared.
A West Brom win seemed inevitable after the equaliser, and Pulis' side had the better of the extra 30 minutes.

But Michael Bostwick and Gabriel Zakuani, making his first start since 7 November because of injury, were equal to everything and blocked numerous attempts on goal. Zakuani's goalline clearance from Craig Gardner's half-volley was perhaps the pick of their efforts.
Saido Berahino should have won it for Albion in the final seconds but, when free at the back post, he headed Gardner's free-kick wide before penalties settled the tie.
Peterborough boss Graham Westley: "Our lads will gain so much from that experience. They performed tremendously but now we have the league to concentrate on, as any manager would say.
"I never think it's a big deal with a missed penalty. Anybody can miss a penalty. Both Martin Samuelsen and Lee Angol showed courage to go up there and will learn from the penalties they took."

West Brom manager Tony Pulis: "That's what the FA Cup is all about - the smaller team pushing the bigger team to the limit. Credit to them and British football. It is nerve-wracking but Peterborough should take a lot of credit.
"We want to do well in the FA Cup but it has certainly affected us with injuries and pressure on the players. I want to do well in the cup as I have tremendous respect for it."
West Brom have a trip to Everton for a 15:00 GMT kick-off on Saturday, while Peterborough host Bradford in League One on the same day.

More than 20 years after the first female ordinations, senior figures in the Church now face another struggle to reconcile those who believe women cannot be priests and those who think traditionalists are unacceptably sexist.
The Archbishop of York, the Most Reverend John Sentamu, has urged Anglicans to "disagree Christianly".
Another bishop blamed the row on an "intolerant" faction in the Church, and warned "we're all in trouble" if there was no future in the Church for traditionalist Catholics such as Mr North.
The dispute that led to Philip North turning down the Sheffield job began in an Oxford cafe one morning in early February, when the chaplain of Trinity College, the Reverend Emma Percy, was given a copy of a Christian magazine with a proud history but a small circulation.
New Directions is written and read by traditionalist Anglo-Catholic members of the Church of England: the sort of Anglicans who are referred to colloquially as "high church".
An article explained how some Church of England priests were starting to be issued with identity cards, to show they were members of a traditionalist Anglican institution named The Society Under the Patronage of St Wilfrid and St Hilda.
Members of The Society, to use its shorter name, do not accept the ministry of women priests - or male priests ordained by female bishops.
Soon afterwards, one of the most influential voices on the liberal wing of the Church of England, the Very Reverend Prof Martyn Percy - who happens to be Emma Percy's husband - quoted the article in an attack on Mr North.
The Society, of which Mr North is a leading member, was guilty of "rather fogeyish sacralised sexism", said Prof Percy.
He said: "Bishop North needs to be able to give his unequivocal support and affirmation to his male and female clergy alike. It can't be a partial and conditional affirmation, based on gender."
Prof Percy followed a Sheffield vicar, the Reverend Sue Hammersley, in urging Mr North not to accept his nomination.
She told BBC Look North: "I think the very fact that he won't ordain women himself has the potential to give out a really negative message - that somehow the Church of England is a discriminatory organisation."
The Labour MP for Sheffield Heeley, Louise Haigh, also wrote an open letter to Mr North in which she said attitudes to women in the Church were a "major priority for our next bishop".
She wrote: "Your traditionalist views pose many questions about how your leadership in Sheffield will work practically in relation to existing women clergy, men who have been ordained by women, women who are in the process of becoming clergy and congregations who come from a completely different tradition within the Church."
Three days later, an evening statement published on the prime minister's website confirmed that Mr North, who is the Bishop of Burnley, would not be promoted to become Bishop of Sheffield.
All of this was supposed to have been avoided in 2014 when the Church's governing general synod reached the end of a long process of deciding that women could be bishops.
It agreed "five guiding principles", allowing traditionalists who opposed women priests to remain in "the highest possible degree of communion" and to "mutually flourish".
After Mr North's U-turn, which he said had followed "highly individualised attacks" on him, the Archbishop of York said there had been little sign of that commitment to mutual flourishing.
"What has happened to Bishop Philip clearly does not reflect the settlement under which, two and a half years ago, the Church of England joyfully and decisively opened up all orders of ministry to men and women," he said.
Archbishop Sentamu was not alone in criticising the opponents of Philip North.
The Bishop of Willesden, Pete Broadbent, tweeted: "This is what the Church of England will be like if the intolerant exclusive 'inclusives' win… if there is no future for the Catholics, we're all in deep trouble."
Serenhedd James, a historian and columnist for the Church Times, said: "For anyone, anywhere, to be subject of a public bullying campaign of such a personal nature is unacceptable. For it to happen within the Church, and be orchestrated by leading members of the clergy, is wicked.
"And for it to result in one of the most gentle, kind, talented, compassionate, committed, and honourable priests in the C of E being driven out of a post in which his God-given gifts are needed now more than ever is, frankly, diabolical."
At the other end of the Anglican spectrum, the conservative evangelical Bishop of Maidstone, Rod Thomas, said he was "deeply saddened" and described the move as "a body blow to the concept of 'mutual flourishing' which lay at the heart of the agreement to introduce women bishops in the Church of England."
Long, well-intended discussions about principles of conduct appear to have evaporated in the heat of a controversial nomination.
Despite a high-profile campaign in favour of Mr North by high-ranking male and female clergy, there is little talk of good disagreement or mutual flourishing.
While there seems to be embarrassment rather than triumphalism among opponents of Bishop Philip North's appointment, the campaign group Sheffield Action on Ministry Equality said many would now enter a period of mourning.
"We also sense an invitation from God for all of us in the Church of England to take responsibility for our part in a process that has caused such pain for so many people," said a statement on the group's website.
"We pray for Bishop Philip that he may fully recover from an ordeal we believe he should never have had to face."
The Archbishops of York and Canterbury now have to find a way to reunite a Church that is divided over women's ordination as well as sexuality.
But it appears that defiance has finally came to an end with his shock disqualification from office by Pakistan's Supreme Court.
Its announcement came two months after it convicted the premier of contempt because of his refusal to ask Swiss authorities to reopen corruption cases against President Asif Ali Zardari.
Mr Gilani's strategy of not appealing against his conviction so as not to antagonise the court appears to have failed.
His determination to stand up for himself helped Mr Gilani grow in stature in the eyes of many Pakistanis.
He became the longest-serving prime minister in the history of Pakistan, where civilian governments have been repeatedly overthrown by the powerful military, often with the support of the Supreme Court.
When he was appointed to the job in March 2008 many commentators did not expect his tenure would be long. But he repeatedly rose to the challenge and fended off his critics.
In April 2012, Mr Gilani seemed in a stronger position than at any point during his confrontation with the Supreme Court.
Although he was found guilty of contempt, the court gave him only a symbolic sentence and he did not have to serve any time in jail. The prime minister had argued that the president, who rejects the charges, had immunity as head of state.
In April, the court in effect backed down from its efforts to remove the elected prime minister, and its symbolic judgement and token sentence were seen as something of a personal victory for Mr Gilani - the judiciary, the army and the opposition had apparently failed in their efforts to remove him.
It is not clear whether Mr Gilani will now try to appeal against his disqualification. The ruling Pakistan People's Party should have the necessary majority in parliament to elect a new prime minister.
In spite of his conviction, Mr Gilani emerged from his trial with his reputation enhanced, having succeeded in portraying himself as a man defending democracy in the face of a politically motivated campaign against him and his government.
Throughout his time in office it was clear that whatever the criticisms levelled at him - from poor governance to corruption - no party wanted to be seen as the one to bring down yet another elected government in Pakistan.
Supporters said that his long period as PM reflected Mr Gilani's sound political judgement and staying power.
He refrained from followed the bidding of former President Pervez Musharraf, despite heavy pressure by his government to coerce him into joining many of his Pakistan People's Party (PPP) colleagues in switching sides.
Mr Gilani's refusal to do a deal with Mr Musharraf is much admired within his party.
He went to jail in 2001, serving five years following a conviction over illegal government appointments that were alleged to have taken place during his term as Speaker of parliament between 1993-96.
A tall, softly-spoken man with an air of authority, he has acquired a reputation for doing the right thing.
Yousuf Raza Gilani was born on 9 June 1952 in Karachi in the southern province of Sindh, but his family comes from Punjab.
The Gilanis are among the most prominent of landowners and spiritual leaders in the south of Punjab province. Their home town is the ancient city of Multan.
The family's prominence naturally led to its members vying for political power.
Mr Gilani's grandfather and great-uncles joined the All India Muslim League and were signatories of the 1940 Pakistan resolution. This was the declaration which eventually led to partition.
His father, Alamdar Hussain Gilani, served as a provincial minister in the 1950s.
Mr Gilani joined up in 1978 when he became a member of the Muslim League's central leadership.
This was soon after he completed his MA in journalism at the University of Punjab. His first term as a public servant was as a nominee of General Zia-ul-Haq.
The then Pakistan army chief had been the country's dictator since overthrowing elected Prime Minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto in a 1977 coup.
Mr Bhutto was executed in 1979, an act that forever soured the relationship between the army and the PPP.
Mr Gilani joined Mr Bhutto's PPP in 1988, months before Gen Zia's death brought an end to its political exile.
Observers say it is his loyalty and his disdain for politicking within the party that earned him the nomination for prime minister.
"[Mr Gilani] was perhaps the only man among the top leadership who did not badger Zardari for this or any other position," says one PPP insider. "This along with the fact of his proven loyalty, earned him the nod."
But it was his independent thinking that won him many admirers after taking over as the country's chief executive.
Correspondents say his first few months were uncomfortable, with many doubting whether he had the charisma and standing to lead the country.
This feeling was strengthened when Mr Zardari, the PPP chairman, was elected president.
It was felt Mr Zardari would now take a more hands-on approach to government - leaving Mr Gilani as little more than a figurehead.
That did not happen and Mr Gilani grew in stature as his term progressed.
He had to contend with some of the worst crises in Pakistan's history, including extensive flooding, rising Taliban militancy and deteriorating relations with the US after the killing of al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden.
Members of the Unite union working for the firm dnata at Heathrow, Gatwick and Manchester had been due to walk out on Tuesday.
But they will now be balloted after a new pay offer was made.
Unite's Kevin Hall said the offer "better reflects the contribution" members make to the company.
He added: "We will now be putting the details of the revised pay offer to our members over the coming weeks."
Concerns were raised over proposals to develop an estate in the Llanbadarn Fawr-area, where homeowners had to battle to keep water out of properties during heavy rain in December.
On Wednesday, the council's planning committee voted in favour.
Assurances were given that flood prevention measures would reduce the risks.
Twelve committee members voted in favour, with five against and one abstention.
Earlier, Ceredigion councillor Paul James said the planned new homes on private land, between Llanbadarn Fawr and Waunfawr, would add to the problems caused by surface water.
"The danger and the impact of a new estate would cause havoc regards to water and run off," said Mr James, who also sits on the community council which opposes the plans.
"On Boxing Day the stream of water coming down the hill was dangerous not just putting people's homes in danger but also for drivers who were driving straight into the fast flowing water.
"Homeowners had to come out with their brushes and sweep the water away to prevent it from getting in to their homes and I was handing out sandbags to try and hold back the water."
Ben Davies, who lives across the road from where the new estate will be built, said: "At the moment, it's a green field and this gives us some hope that it'll soak up the rain water and hold it back from the village a little longer.
"But there are already occasions when the water is pouring down the road and it's only a matter of time before we see a bad accident with these flash waters and someone is killed here."
The issue of recent floods in York and Cumbria were raised during Wednesday's planning hearing.
However, assurances were given that a 300-cubic metre (66,000 gallon) water tank and hydro-brake would be part of the development to reduce the risks and improve the current situation.
The 30-year-old tweeted she had "already started testing out ideas" for the show on 1 February in Arizona.
The show is the most-watched musical event of the year, with a record 115 million viewers in the US watching this year's half-time show.
Perry joins the likes of Bruno Mars, Beyonce and Madonna who have previously performed.
The announcement of Perry's upcoming performance was made at half-time during the Cowboys-Giants game on Sunday night.
It was accompanied by a video featuring the singer at a "half-time show testing facility" apparently trying out ideas for her show.
It includes a glitter-filled stadium, unicorns, giant sharks breathing fire, kittens and the suggestion Perry could be wrapped in bacon.
Perry's performance will be the NFL's fourth consecutive show to include younger acts after previous performers Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, the Rolling Stones, and The Who.
Paparazzi problems
Perry is currently on her Prismatic world tour in Australia.
On the Friday, the singer blasted Australian paparazzi, calling them "perverted and disgusting".
She tweeted: "Your paparazzi have no respect, no integrity, no character, no humanity."
"I was stalked by many grown men today as I tried to take a quiet walk to the beach. These men would not stop as I pleaded over and over to let me have my space.
"This is perverted and disgusting behaviour that should never be tolerated.
The singer then posted images of some of the photographers and singled out notorious Australian paparazzo Jamie Fawcett.
The men were on a day trip from London to the Sussex resort on Wednesday.
The RNLI said it did not believe that rip currents were responsible for the deaths. Police said the group were in their late teens and early 20s.
One of the victims, Nitharsan Ravi, drove to the resort with four friends, his brother Ajirthan told the BBC.
He identified two of the other men as Kobi and Ken Nathan, from Erith in south-east London.
The RNLI said it believed all five men fell into deep channels of water between sand-bars - mounds of sand created by wave and tide activity - which had been made deeper with the weekend storms.
Guy Addington, from the RNLI, said: "It's very difficult to know at the moment, we don't have the full information, but it's possible that they were cut off by the series of sand-bars."
He said rip currents could occur at Camber but the sea was so calm on Wednesday that this was unlikely, and it was more likely sand-bars were involved.
"It's entirely possible and it does happen at Camber that people become cut off on the series of sand bars that are extensive on that part of the coast," he added.
He said there could be a 3ft (1m) difference between the the top of a sand-bar and the trough and added: "An increase of depth of 3ft to a non-proficient or non-swimmer can be really significant."
Mr Addington also said because Camber was a "shallow, shelving beach", the tide could go out and race in extremely fast - faster than someone could walk quickly.
"Add to that the complication of the undulating sand-bars, that can catch people out quite easily," he said.
He urged people to follow RNLI safety advice.
How to stay safe at the beach and in the sea
The brother of Mr Ravi identified a fourth victim only as Kurushanth. The identity of the fifth man is not yet clear.
Three of the men were pulled from the water on Wednesday afternoon, while two more bodies were found later.
Police said no-one else was missing after an earlier search for further victims was abandoned.
A sand-bar is a submerged or partly exposed ridge of sand or other sediment built up by currents in coastal waters that occur where waves break.
They are usually made up of sand but can also involve other granular materials, such as shingle or even boulders.
They are most pronounced in the heavy surf caused by storms.
Sand-bars are the most common cause of rip currents, which are generated by waves breaking over them.
The RNLI said that the sand-bars at Camber Sands were three feet deep and had been made deeper by the weekend storms. Satellite images of the area give an idea of how the sandbars create an uneven sea floor.
Ch Supt Di Roskilly of Sussex Police said: "We believe we now know who the men are and that they came to the beach together for the day.
"We believe they are all in their late teens and early 20s and come from the Greater London area.
"These men were not fully clothed when they were pulled from the sea but wearing clothes appropriate for being at the beach for the day.
"We have no further reports of anyone else missing from Camber and there are no ongoing searches related to this incident.
"This has been an incredibly tragic incident and we are offering their next of kin support at this difficult time."
Members of the public and emergency services tried to save the men when the first alert came in just after 14:10 BST.
Rescuer Deven Small said: "I walked over to the scene and I could see a few people holding someone but his head kept on going in and out of the water.
"I ran in and helped to carry him in. Adrenaline kicks in. I didn't want to, you're talking about someone's life on the line.
"It's not the nicest thing to see in the world, to see someone die in front of you."
Two bodies were discovered by a member of the public as the tide receded at about 20:00, the RNLI said.
Rother District Council said up to 25,000 people use the beach each day.
An online petition calling for lifeguards at Camber Sands has been signed by more than 4,000 people.
A council spokesman said: "Our beach patrols are on site throughout the summer and are able to advise people of potential dangers, reunite lost children and deal with any incidents on the beach.
The Police and Crime Commission for Sussex, Katy Bourne said: "We do need to get together to see if further improvements need to be made [to safety at the beach].
"We need to find the best answer. I don't know if lifeguards are the answer."
Last month, 19-year-old Brazilian Gustavo Silva Da Cruz died while swimming in the sea there. He was one of three men who got into trouble in the water.
The sketch show, which featured Meera Syal, Sanjeev Bhaskar, Nina Wadia and Kulvinder Ghir, explored the collision of British and Indian cultures.
Goodness Gracious Me aired on BBC Two from 1998-2001, after starting life on Radio 4 two years earlier.
The show's regular characters included Smeeta Smitten, the Competitive Mothers and Mr Everything Comes From India.
An advertisement for people to feature in the audience of the London filming revealed that the original cast would be back for an episode of the "ground-breaking British Asian sketch show, featuring new characters alongside some favourites from the original series in a wealth of brand new sketches".
Both Bhaskar and Syal went on to star in The Kumars at No 42, with them playing chat show host Sanjeev and her the grandmother Ummi.
Wadia spent five years playing Zainab Masood in EastEnders, before leaving the soap last February.
Mock the Week host Dara O Briain will front another of BBC Two's anniversary celebrations, in the form of a quiz called All About Two.
Also featuring Richard Osman from Pointless, the show is described as "part quiz, part silliness, part discovery and all love".
The holiday was booked for Hammam Sousse, where 38 people - most of them British - were murdered a week ago. Remarkably, they thought it wouldn't be fair on the Tunisians not to go.
"I immediately looked on Google Maps where our hotel was and realised it was right next door [to the crime scene]", Mrs Clark says. "My first reaction was that I didn't want to come, it was too horrific.
"But when you take time to think about it, you realise it could have happened in any beach in any country."
The British couple, from Nottingham, are no stranger here. This is the third time that they've come to Hammam Sousse. They first came in 2013 and decided to return in April this year to celebrate Glynis's 60th birthday.
"It's lovely here. The people are so warm, so friendly - they didn't deserve this," Mrs Clark says.
Travel agency Thomas Cook offered the couple a refund or an alternative holiday in Turkey or in Egypt but they declined the offers.
"It's an absolute bloody shame to find the hotel empty," says Mr Clark, who spent 22 years as a ground crewman in the Royal Air Force and is now working part-time at East Midlands airport.
Thousands of tourists have left since the attack happened.
Jeblai Bouraoui and his colleagues wait in their tourist trains, a few steps away from the beach of Sousse, but no-one shows up.
"We've been here for almost two hours," he says. "I even fell asleep!"
During the month of Ramadan, snoozing is an easy trap for those who fast but aren't keeping busy.
"There was no time for that a week ago," Mr Bouraoui says. "We would do return trips after return trips without a break. We only ran one ride this morning."
That's one ride for seven passengers. Waiting for more to come along runs the risk of losing those seven to impatience.
At about 3.5 Tunisian dinars (£1.15), a return ticket to Port El Kantaoui, less than 15km (10 miles) further along the coast, Mr Bouraoui doesn't even need to count how much they've made so far. He opens his belt bag: it's almost empty.
Tourists have also deserted the main commercial street of the city. In the historical medina quarter, which has long been turned into a tourist shopping maze, there are no sunburnt faces to be seen.
The narrow streets are usually so overcrowded that it is hard to move. The newfound tranquillity would be enjoyable if it weren't a reminder of a sombre reality, a mass murder that sparked a tourist exodus.
Will the tourists return? "Each day that passed since the attack happened, there are fewer customers," says Naoufel Barhoumi.
Mr Barhoumi owns two shops almost facing each other; he sells bags, wallets, sunglasses, bracelets, necklaces and beach towels.
"I only sold one bag today and that was to a Tunisian woman," he says. "We try to remain optimistic but we are already seeing the consequences of the attack."
Walking past is Sylvie Quainay, 53, from France, who arrived the day after the attack. Unlike the many thousands of tourists who booked their holidays through a tour company, Ms Quainay has rented a house for the whole year. This is her third time here in six months.
"I am suffering from arthritis so I come here to find a better weather and bathe in the sea because the combination of dry heat and salt is doing me good," she says.
"What happened is terrible because life is sweet for us here and relaxed. Why should I stop coming? There is nothing we can do. It could have happened in Paris too."
A few winding streets away, the small, covered market is bustling but there is not a tourist in sight. The people here are all Tunisians who have come to shop before they can break the fast later on.
Marouen Dhia and Marouen Rekais are cutting massive chunks of almond or pistachio nougat into smaller bites - a local speciality that residents wouldn't miss during Ramadan. They are busy and smiling.
"This is a delicacy we sell only one month a year during Ramadan," says Mr Dhia. "Tourists would buy some but our main clientele is local."
Back on the main beach, most hotel sunbeds are left empty. A couple of elderly people have gone for a guided horse ride but the volleyball pitch has been deserted and no-one is playing football.
At the El Mouradi Palm Marina hotel next door to the crime scene, where Mr and Mrs Clark are staying, the number of clients has fallen from more than 600 last week to a little more than 100 today.
Mid-July is usually the peak of the tourist season but dozens of people have now cancelled their reservations at the Palm Marina.
"We are disappointed that the hotel isn't full for the people here because this is their livelihood," says Mrs Clark.
"The best way to show solidarity with these people is to come on holiday here," adds her husband. "If people come back, those behind the attack will have lost the battle."

League One side Rovers were beaten 2-1 by Barrow of the National League at the Memorial Stadium on Sunday.
They have only won once in their last eight matches in all competitions.
"We are giving really sloppy goals away and for me we're becoming a soft touch in our own box," the 38-year-old Rovers manager told BBC Points West.
"It might be coming to the end of the road for one or two if they don't start improving. We have to invest in the team now, I think.
"It's come to the stage now where this group's done very, very well but if we've got ambition to get into the Championship in the next two or three years we have to move it forward and invest wisely in the team.
"I know the areas where I need to strengthen now - it's not rocket science."

The criminals have been targeting wealthy women in shopping centres, Sao Paulo's anti-kidnap police unit says.
The victims are followed to their cars, where they are robbed and held captive at gunpoint while the gang uses their credit cards to make luxury purchases.
Police said the "blonde gang" consisted of young, educated, middle-class women.
Sao Paulo civil police anti-kidnap division chief Joaquim Dias Alves told BBC Mundo: "One or two speak more than one language, and some have been educated overseas.
"They are really pretty girls, well-dressed and made up," he said.
The gang tend to target women who look similar to them, so they can assume the victim's identity while they use their credit cards.
They are thought to have been operating for three years, and to have robbed at least 50 people.
Police say they have begun to break up the gang, with three suspects arrested, including one man.
So-called "express kidnappings" - where victims are held for a few hours while their bank accounts and credit cards are drained - are a common crime in Latin America.

A report from Hong Kong investigative news agency Factwire found that apps CM Security, Sync.ME and Truecaller have built up databases with billions of people's phone numbers - including top politicians in Hong Kong and the UK.
The apps let users "reverse look-up" calls from numbers they do not recognise - but take much of their data from users' contact lists.
CM Security says it has temporarily halted its "reverse look-up" function to address privacy concerns, while Sync.ME and Truecaller say people can opt out from their databases via their websites.

Immigration Minister James Brokenshire told the Commons that an inquiry into abuse of the student visa system had found evidence of criminal activity, which would now be investigated fully.
Of the 48,000 certificates, 29,000 were invalid and 19,000 were "questionable".
Labour said the scale of the abuse was "truly shocking".
Mr Brokenshire continued: "It is likely that the true totals will be higher."
"The government is not prepared to tolerate this abuse," he said.
"Since the start of February immigration enforcement officers, with the support of the National Crime Agency, together with officials from UK Visas and Immigration, have been conducting a detailed and wide-ranging investigation into actions by organised criminals to falsify English language tests for student visa applicants.
"They've also investigated a number of colleges and universities for their failure to ensure that their students meet the criteria set out in immigration rules."
The probe followed a BBC Panorama investigation earlier this year.
Officers uncovered evidence of "serious concern" at some campuses, and the government has downgraded Glyndwr University in north-east Wales from its status as a "highly-trusted sponsor" of student visas.
In addition, 57 private further education colleges had also had their licences for admitting foreign students suspended, Mr Brokenshire said.
A further two universities - the University of Bedfordshire and University of West London - are no longer allowed to sponsor new students pending further investigations, which will decide whether they too should be suspended.
Immigration enforcement officers had started work to identify migrants who were in the country illegally as a result of the falsified language tests so they could be removed, Mr Brokenshire said.
"The steps I have outlined today shows we will not hesitate to take firm action against those - students, colleges and universities - who do not abide by their legal responsibilities and resolutely pursue organised criminality to bring those responsible to justice," the minister concluded.
But Labour's shadow Home Office minister David Hanson said his statement amounted to an "astounding" admission of "systematic abuse on this government's watch".
"They said, 'No more bogus colleges.' Instead, we now have a major abuse in bogus certificates being issued again," he told MPs.
A representative of Glyndwr University said: "The university is deeply upset that its sponsor licence has been suspended by UK Visas and Immigration and is working with them to investigate the issues raised.
"We have partnerships with a number of suppliers and are incredibly disappointed to have been the subject of any deception or activity that would put that licence under threat.
"To be put in this position by external partners is frustrating as Glyndwr University takes its responsibility as a highly trusted sponsor very seriously and is committed to supporting the continuing education of those genuine international students who demonstrate full compliance with their immigration requirements."
An investigations team would work to have the university's licence reinstated, they added.
Each year, around 100,000 non-EU students get their visas to stay in the UK extended.
The Panorama programme broadcast in February sent non-EU students - who were already in the UK legally - undercover.
They posed as bogus students with poor English, who wanted to remain in the UK to work illegally. | Universities might have a reputation as bastions of Guardian-reading liberalism.

The collapse of Iraq's armed forces in the face of the IS advance led to these militia playing a pivotal role in government security operations over the past year, most notably in Tikrit.
However, they have also come under criticism for alleged human rights abuses, a charge their commanders deny.
Iraq's Shia militia are part of a broader mobilisation of the majority Shia community, which has traditionally aimed to contest power in the country and, prior to 2003, remedy the Shia's history of oppression at the hands of the Iraqi state.
Shia mobilisation and activism in Iraq intensified with the Baathist coup in 1968 and the regime's collective suppression of the community, although some Shia were co-opted.
After the 1979 Islamic revolution in Iran, Shia actors, like the Islamic Dawa Party (of Iraq's current prime minister), mobilised the Shia community to try to overthrow the Baath regime but the attempt failed.
The 1980-1988 Iran-Iraq war then saw various Shia groups take up arms against Saddam Hussein, with patronage from Iran, but this was to no avail as neither side was able to defeat the other during the costly war of attrition.
Another rebellion was launched in 1991, following the first Gulf War. Looking to capitalise on a weakened Iraqi army, as well as an apparent endorsement from then US President George HW Bush, Iraqi Shia launched an uprising in mainly Shia provinces of the south.
But no US support materialised and the regime's indiscriminate crackdown on the population saw tens of thousands killed. Shia shrines, centres of learning and communities were also destroyed.
Following the fall of Saddam Hussein, Shia fighters that had previously fought the Baath regime were integrated into the reconstituted Iraqi army and the country's police force.
However, some also remained militia members and fought a sectarian war with Sunni militants, which reached its apex in 2006.
As a result of sectarian warfare and disastrous post-conflict reconstruction, Shia militia that functioned independently of the state became increasingly widespread and powerful.
They were responsible for much of the lawlessness and crime in the country, including attacks on US and British occupation forces, as well as Western civilians working in Iraq.
Shia militia have their own differences and fought one another over the past decade. However, when IS seized control of much of northern and western Iraq they unified as part of a concerted effort to defend their country and places of worship.
This is not to say that intra-Shia clashes will not take place again in the future.
To swell the ranks of the anti-IS forces, in the absence of a functioning Iraqi army, Iraq's Grand Ayatollah Sistani, the leading cleric in the Shia world, issued a religious edict calling on Iraqis to take up arms.
Tens of thousands of Shia volunteers, as well as many Sunni tribal fighters, were immediately mobilised as a result to form what is known as the Popular Mobilisation. The Washington Post reports that Shia militia comprise up to 120,000 fighters.
The proliferation of Shia militia in Iraq after 2003 was also fuelled by the support Iran gave Shia bodies willing to act as its proxies.
Iran has actively supported Iraq's Shia groups since 1979. The most powerful militia group in Iraq today is the Badr Brigade, which was formed in and by Iran in the early 1980s, during the Iran-Iraq war.
Iran has considerable influence over Iraq's Shia militia because of its heavy on-the-ground presence.
Iran was the only outside power that deployed advisers and special forces in the country when IS took control of Mosul and directly organised the anti-IS offensive.
However, it does not have the same level of influence over all militia.
The Badr Brigade, whilst considerably close to Iran, could still function without Iranian support and has done so before, given its entrenchment in the Iraqi state (its head, Hadi al-Ameri, is a former Transport Minister).
A large number of the militia in the Popular Mobilisation also report to local Iraqi figures, as opposed to Iran.
On the other hand, weaker splinter groups which emerged after 2003 are more dependent on Iranian support and some are widely reported to be receiving orders directly from Iran.
In the near future, Iraq is likely to continue to depend on the militias to contain IS and maintain security in the country.
While Iraq's Shia militia cannot be eliminated, given their entrenchment within the Shia community and the Iraqi state, they can be regulated but that is only likely to happen once the threat from IS has abated and the country has a fully functioning army.

Rice and oil plantations accounted for 38% of mangrove deforestation between 2000 and 2012, the research showed.
As well as being important carbon sinks and rich in biodiversity, mangrove forests provide fuel and food for coastal communities.
The findings appear in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
"Aquaculture has largely been held responsible for causing mangrove deforestation, particularly in countries like Thailand and the Philippines," explained co-author Daniel Richards from the National University of Singapore.
He told BBC News that a study of eight countries around the world between the 1970s and the early 2000s found that 54% of deforested mangroves were replaced with aquaculture ponds used for fish or shrimp/prawn production.
"Our study found that aquaculture was still important but we were surprised that in South-East Asia between 2000 and 2012, just 30% of deforested mangroves were replaced with aquaculture.
"The impact of other drivers, like rice and oil palm agriculture, was greater than we expected."
Mangroves - natural defences
•Mangroves are salt-tolerant evergreens that grow along coastlines, rivers and deltas
•Found in more than 120 tropical and subtropical nations
•The plants' root systems have been shown to dissipate wave energy
Dr Richards observed: "Almost 25,000 hectares of Myanmar's mangroves were converted to rice paddy between 2000 and 2012."
He added that while there had been a few previous studies that had highlighted the role of oil palm production as a cause for mangrove loss, they had no idea of the scale of the deforestation.
"Sixteen percent of all deforested mangroves in Southeast Asia were replaced with oil palm plantations during our study period," he said.
"We usually think of oil palm as an issue which affects tropical forests on land but our study shows that demand for oil palm is also driving deforestation in coastal mangrove forests."
Dr Richards and his colleague, Daniel Friess, used Google Earth to monitor how land was used once mangrove forests had been felled.
"We viewed [more than] 3,000 deforested mangrove patches, and recorded the land-use that they were replaced with," Dr Richards said.
"This study also builds on some great existing data sets that were provided by scientists at the University of Maryland and the US Geological Survey."
He warned that mangrove forests in the region were "very threatened":
"Our study focused on quite a recent period of time but mangroves in South-East Asia have experienced widespread deforestation for decades.
"Previous research suggests that around 90% of Singapore's original mangrove forests have been lost."
The region is home to about one third of the world's mangroves, including some of the most biodiverse.
The researchers said mangroves were important to people because they provide fish and crabs, wood and charcoal, and can help protect coastlines from erosion.
Mangrove forests also stored very high densities of carbon so had a role in regulating carbon in the atmosphere, they added.
In other regions, such as Sri Lanka, the value of intact mangrove forests has been recognised by authorities and measures have been put in place to protect them.
Dr Richards said that the importance of mangrove forests is becoming better understood, but it was a slow process.
"It is encouraging that our study found low rates of mangrove deforestation in Vietnam, the Philippines, and Brunei, and this is partly due to stronger protection of mangroves in these countries.
"There are initiatives to restore mangroves in some countries: the Mangrove Action Project in Thailand, and Blue Forests in Indonesia, are working with governments and local communities to protect and restore mangrove forests."
But he warned that more needed to be done: "Indonesia has more mangrove forests than any country in the world, and the mangroves in the more remote parts of the country, such as Indonesian Papua, are almost intact.
"However, these mangroves may be at risk of deforestation [as a result of] recent plans to grant concessions and develop the agriculture industry in this region.
"If we want to protect Indonesia's remaining mangroves then we need to act quickly." | The threat posed by the development of rice and palm oil plantations to mangroves in South-East Asia has been underestimated, a study has suggested. | 35,198,675 | 943 | 35 | false |
Immigration Minister Peter Dutton said the girl had been discharged from hospital into community detention.
But he stressed she would be able to stay in Australia only temporarily.
Doctors had refused to discharge the one-year-old, who was being treated for serious burns, unless she was provided a "suitable home environment".
The standoff sparked protests outside Brisbane's Lady Cilento Hospital in support of the doctors.
The girl known as Asha, who is Nepalese, will now stay with her family, including her mother, in community detention in Brisbane. An immigration officer will monitor the family and their movements will be restricted.
Mr Dutton said she would be sent to the offshore processing centre on Nauru once her medical treatment was complete and the legal issues surrounding the circumstances of her injury resolved.
"We are not going to allow people smugglers to get out a message that if you seek assistance in an Australian hospital, that somehow that is your formula to becoming an Australian citizen," he told the Australian Broadcasting Corp.
"I couldn't be any clearer - once the medical assistance has been provided and the legal issues resolved, people will go back to Nauru."
Why is Australia's asylum policy controversial?
Mr Dutton denied the move was prompted by the protests and said it was pre-planned.
Earlier, Mr Dutton had told reporters: "The advice I have received is the doctors from the hospital have said the baby's treatment has concluded and they would be happy for the baby to go out into community detention.
"That's what we have proposed all along but at some point, if people have matters finalised in Australia, they will be returning to Nauru."
But refugee advocates hailed baby Asha's release into the community as a victory against the government's hard-line detention policy.
In early February, the High Court upheld Australia's asylum policy as legal under the country's constitution.
The ruling paved the way for around 267 people, including 37 babies, to be deported to Nauru.
Mr Dutton also reiterated Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull's rejection of an offer from New Zealand to take in a quota of asylum seekers.
"The deal that was struck was a back-door option to come to Australia," he said on Monday.
"It was a failed proposal under former prime minister Julia Gillard and that is why it is not acceptable to us in the form that Julia Gillard brokered it." | A baby at the heart of an asylum row in Australia will be sent with her mother to an offshore camp on the Pacific island of Nauru, the government says. | 35,627,675 | 543 | 35 | false |
The letter, from the college's Northern Ireland director, questions why it has yet to be approached.
Health Minister Simon Hamilton said in January he intended to set up a group.
He said it would make recommendations on how the issue of fatal foetal abnormality could be addressed.
The group, he said, would include leading clinicians and people with a legal background.
Unlike other parts of the UK, the Abortion Act 1967 does not extend to Northern Ireland.
A termination is only allowed in Northern Ireland if a woman's life is at risk or if there is a risk of permanent and serious damage to her mental or physical health.
In the letter, seen by the BBC, college director Breedagh Hughes requests details on the membership, terms of reference and work plan for the group.
She goes on to say she has spoken to Northern Ireland's chief medical officer, who was unable to provide her with any information.
Ms Hughes adds in the letter she is "somewhat surprised that the RCM has not been contacted to contribute to the work".
She said she had been left "very frustrated" by the apparent delay.
"I think it is crucial that all of those who are caring for women in this situation contribute to the work of this group," she said.
"I think it is even more important that there should be a user representative on this group because at the end of the day, this is to some extent about health care professionals providing care for women but mostly this is about women, and women are every bit as much in the dark about when they might be entitled to a lawful termination of pregnancy in Northern Ireland and when they may not."
There has been pressure from health professionals, charities and members of the public to try to resolve the issue.
A fatal foetal abnormality diagnosis means doctors believe an unborn child has a terminal condition and will die in the womb or shortly after birth.
A proposal to allow abortion in such cases was defeated in the Northern Ireland Assembly by 59 votes to 40.
The result followed a passionate debate at Stormont after some MLAs proposed the law change be introduced by way of an amendment to the Justice Bill.
Northern Ireland's Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists has said it is also waiting on contact from the Department of Health.
Mr Hamilton said after briefing the Northern Ireland Executive he plans to give the matter further consideration.
"Fatal foetal abnormality has proved a sensitive and controversial matter which requires careful and measured consideration," he said.
"The working group will consult with interested parties, including those who have been affected.
"I remain fully determined to meet the commitment for the working group to report within six months."
The Justice Minister, David Ford, said: "Two and a half years ago, I asked the then health minister to have a joint approach to a consultation between the two departments to deal with issues of abortion because there were matters which fell to him and matters which fell to me.
"We're now on the third DUP health minister and we still haven't got to any agreement of doing joined working like we're supposed to do." | The Royal College of Midwives (RCM) has written to the health minister with concerns over a delay in establishing a working group on the issue of abortions in cases of fatal foetal abnormality. | 35,712,633 | 670 | 47 | false |
Perhaps more than anywhere else in the UK, this area has a track record of electing representatives who don't have a big party machine behind them.
Lady Sylvia Hermon was the only independent MP elected to parliament in 2010. She's defending a huge majority - more than 14,000.
She says the good things about being an independent include "always being unanimous".
Lady Hermon points to the Commons vote against the government's plans for military action in Syria as an important part of her last term.
"I had made up my mind that I was not going to vote in favour of British involvement in Syria," she said.
"When we came to the major motion that was brought forward by the coalition government, I voted against, and was absolutely thrilled to be one of the 13 MPs who made a difference that night."
With the polls predicting a hung parliament, and the possibility of more knife-edge votes, she says she would not prop up a Conservative government if it is supported by UKIP.
But she says that as a unionist, she also would not prop up a Labour administration if a deal is done with the SNP.
So Lady Hermon says she would take each vote as it comes.
In Groomsport, another successful independent politician is marking his quarter century as an elected representative.
Councillor Alan Chambers owns a shop in the village.
He thinks the main advantage of not being in a party is being able to make up his own mind about topics.
"I can think of nothing worse than being told how to vote when you don't want to vote that way," he says.
"You also don't need to worry about being tainted by a headline about what a party colleague has said or done. I only need to worry about myself."
So how do politicians keep ahead when they don't have party spin doctors, policy officers or political broadcasts?
The editor of the County Down Spectator, Paul Flowers, says that dealing with constituency problems is very important for representatives in the area - whether they are independent or in a party.
"Our politicians are very active in dealing with what you might think is the little stuff - dogs, drains, things like that. It may not be the big reason why they all wanted to go into politics in the first place, but it gets them elected the next time round."
In the Dail (Irish parliament), independents - and minor parties - have become a significant force.
There are currently 28 TDs designated as such.
Politicians like Mick Wallace, Claire Daly, and Luke "Ming" Flanagan (now an MEP) have high profiles and have made a major impact.
Some of the left-wing TDs see their independence as enabling them to pursue a form of politics which is more ideologically pure.
They have benefited from the decline in support for mainstream parties.
But at Westminster, independent MPs are thin on the ground.
There have been little more than a dozen elected since the Second World War.
The former BBC broadcaster Martin Bell was one of the best known.
The "man in the white suit" served as MP for Tatton from 1997 to 2001.
He defeated the then Conservative Neil Hamilton after Mr Hamilton was involved in a cash-for questions scandal.
There are five independents standing for election in Northern Ireland on 7 May.
So with disillusionment in UK politics in general showing no sign of going away, will more independents be tempted to add their names to ballot papers over the next few years?
Rick Wilford, emeritus professor of Politics at Queen's University, says that may be the case - but only if the first-past-the-post electoral system for Westminster elections is replaced by PR, to give independents a better chance of getting seats.
He says you may get more candidates who "like Victor Meldrew, say 'I don't believe it, what these politicians are doing - I'm going to have a go myself.'
But that, I think is contingent on a change in the electoral system."
It's impossible to generalise about independent politicians - after all, individualism and independence go hand-in-hand.
But if there's one thing independents seem to have in common, it's that they relish being their own person.
The full list of candidates standing in North Down: Steven Agnew, Green Party; Mark Brotherston, Conservative; William Cudworth, TUV (Traditional Unionist Voice); Glenn Donnelly, Cannabis is Safer than Alcohol; Alex Easton, DUP; Sylvia Hermon, Independent; Jonny Lavery, UKIP; Therese McCartney, Sinn Féin; Andrew Muir, Alliance Party and Tom Woolley, SDLP.
The fund, generated by members of the Single Malt Club China (SMCC), will be used to buy rare and valuable malts for the Chinese market.
The initiative was announced by First Minister Nicola Sturgeon as she arrived in China for a trade mission.
Ms Sturgeon also revealed new figures showing food and drink exports to China totalled £85m last year.
During the mission, the first minister will open the SMCC's new Whisky Experience Centre in Beijing, which will showcase the malt whisky production process with photographs and items from distilleries.
It will also display single malts that are available in China.
The SMCC, which was set up in 2005, imported 60,000 bottles of Scotch last year.
The new £3m Whisky Investment Fund is expected to help lift that figure by another 20% over the next year.
Ms Sturgeon said: "The Single Malt Club China has worked hard to promote Scotch whisky for a decade and now has nearly 5,000 members throughout China.
"It also works with 31 of our distilleries, so the support for our industry is clear, and this fund will allow Chinese whisky connoisseurs to invest in some of Scotland's finest and rarest drams."
The move comes as Scotch whisky firms look to boost sales in China, which have been hit by an ongoing austerity campaign by the Chinese authorities.
According to figures released recently by the Scotch Whisky Association, direct exports to the country fell by 23% to £39m last year, making it Scotch's 26th largest market by value.
However, overall food and drink exports to China rose by 12% to £85m last year, according to new data announced by Ms Sturgeon.
Fish and seafood made up the bulk of exports, with £43m worth of products, followed by whisky (£39m), meat (£1.4m) and cereals (£1.1m).
During her trade visit, Ms Sturgeon will promote Scottish business, including hosting an "innovation showcase" for Scottish companies to meet with Chinese investors.
The first minister will also undertake a series of cultural and educational engagements.
Government figures revealed Dorset Police had the worst figures in the UK for carrying out Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks on time.
In nine out of 12 months in 2015 the force failed to complete the target of 100% of checks in 60 days.
It caused delays for residents applying for certain jobs, particularly work with children or vulnerable adults.
The force said it was now achieving above the targets and had reduced the backlog of applications by almost 90%.
Dorset's police and crime commissioner, Martyn Underhill, said: "I was shocked to find out about the delays, we had a really unacceptable backlog.
"The volume is huge as we have 600 applications a week - we didn't have enough staff, we let it slip but we have turned it round."
Figures showed the force only processed a quarter within the 60-day target in May, making it the worst out of 50 forces across a 10-month range.
Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks are required for anyone working or volunteering with children and vulnerable adults.
Junior home minister Kiren Rijiju said Anup Chetia, a leader of the United Liberation Front of Assam (Ulfa), was being brought to India from Dhaka.
Chetia was jailed in 1997 for illegal entry into Bangladesh and possessing huge amounts of foreign currency.
The rebels have fought for a separate Assamese homeland since 1979.
Mr Rijiju told reporters on Wednesday that a team of Indian federal investigators were bringing back Chetia.
However, according to the AFP news agency, Bangladesh's Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal said he had no information that Chetia was being handed over to India.
The Press Trust of India news agency reported that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi called up his Bangladeshi counterpart Sheikh Hasina to thank her for handing Chetia over to the Indian government.
In 2009, the government in Bangladesh launched a crackdown on Indian separatists operating out of its territory.
More than 50 rebel leaders and activists have been handed over to India since then, while others have been arrested while trying to enter Bangladesh to avoid capture in India.
The lorry was carrying 6,800 chickens when it crashed on the eastbound carriageway between junctions 11 and 12 at about 04:00 BST.
About 1,500 birds were killed, North West Motorway police said.
The majority of the chickens died from the impact of the crash but some were hit by cars, police added.
The driver of the lorry was uninjured.
Michael Clarke, from the Highways Agency, said about 2,000 chickens "escaped on to the carriageway" and had to be recaptured.
"We drafted in as much manpower as we could from across the north west, and we had help from the police, the emergency services and the RSPCA," he said.
He said the incident was "unusual" in terms of the sheer number of birds involved.
"The more adventurous ones did manage to go quite far - I would suspect there are a handful still in adjacent fields," he added.
The agency is assessing damage caused to safety barriers.
Diversions were put in place around the exit for Birchwood and the Eccles Interchange with the M60.
The announcement came as it reported full-year statutory profits of £1.8bn.
Lloyds is now 23.9% state-owned after the government sold another parcel of shares in the bank earlier this week, raising £500m.
The government's stake had been as high as 41% when it ploughed in £20bn to prop the bank up in 2008.
Lloyds said it would pay a dividend of 0.75 pence per share, amounting to £535m to be split among the bank's three million shareholders.
The largest share, £130m, will go to the government.
The bank added that it had made a further £700m provision in the fourth quarter to settle cases arising from mis-sold payment protection insurance (PPI), bringing the total set aside for the year to £2.2bn.
It also made a £925m provision for other regulatory matters during the year, including £150m to cover the mis-selling of interest rate hedging products to small and medium-sized businesses.
Lloyds' profit for the year represents a big improvement on its performance in 2013, when it made £415m.
Following the announcement, the bank's shares closed up 0.6%.
The bank said it would be paying out discretionary annual bonuses worth £369.5m for 2014.
Its chief executive, Antonio Horta-Osorio, is set to receive a total remuneration package of £11m, consisting of basic pay of £1m, an £800,000 bonus and the payout of a three-year long-term incentive plan, which gives him 535,083 shares.
BBC business editor Kamal Ahmed says there will be controversy over the level of Mr Horta-Osorio's pay, particularly the share plan, which was agreed by the government in 2012 and completes, or "vests", this year.
Our editor points out that because Lloyds' share price has risen so rapidly on the back of the bank's successful turnaround, the shares that the chief executive will receive are much more valuable: 78p each, as against 35p in 2008.
He has been told that Mr Horta-Osorio will pledge not to cash in any of those shares until the government has "substantially" sold the rest of its stake and the taxpayer has been paid back the money used to bail out the bank.
Mr Horta-Osorio told our business editor that he was "really pleased" his bank had resumed dividend payments.
"We went from a very, very negative position in terms of profitability to a position where we generated £7.8bn of underlying profitability [and] we generated £1.8bn of pre-tax profit," he added.
Banking analyst Alex Potter told BBC Radio 5 live's Wake Up to Money that the resumption of dividend payments indicated that Lloyds had returned to health.
"Actually, an awful lot of [investment] funds haven't been able to buy Lloyds shares at all while they haven't been paying a dividend, so actually, just the allowance of those potential shareholders on to the [share] register again is going to be a pretty good thing," he said.
Richard Hunter, head of equities at Hargreaves Lansdown stockbrokers, described Lloyds' results as "something of a breath of fresh air".
He described the return to a dividend payment as "a sign of confidence in future prospects", although the new PPI provision was "somewhat disappointing".
"Nonetheless, the bank is riding the wave of a resurgent UK economy and, along with its own measures to improve metrics across the board, the market consensus of the shares as a buy has been vindicated by these numbers," he added.
John Cridland, director general of employers' organisation the CBI, said: "It is encouraging to hear some good news from the banking sector. All of our major banks are on difficult turnaround journeys and Lloyds have shown that progress is possible.
"It is right in these circumstances that the hard work of staff is recognised. The CBI has been clear that rewards for failure are unacceptable, but legitimate financial rewards for success should not be vilified."
Sixteen out of the 17 statues currently in the city centre are of men - the exception being Queen Victoria.
Others on the shortlist to join them include writer Elizabeth Gaskell and anti-racism campaigner Louise Da-Cocodia.
The winner's statue is due to be unveiled in 2019.
Manchester councillor Margaret Ashton, businesswomen Elizabeth Raffald - who wrote The Experienced English Housekeeper in the 18th Century - and the late Labour MP Ellen Wilkinson are also on the shortlist.
People can vote online for their favourite until 31 December.
The campaign, known as the WoManchester Statue Project, was started last year by Didsbury councillor Andrew Simcock.
The Warrington-born 22-year-old came through the Wire youth system and made his debut in 2014.
Front rower Philbin has spent time at Swinton and Rochdale on dual registration deals and was called up to the Ireland squad last year.
"When they came to me to re-sign it was a pretty simple decision to make," he told the club website.
"I struggled to get game time last year but got a little bit of a run at the back end of the season just missing out on the Grand Final, but that's made me more hungry."
The 22-year-old tried to force a move away from The Hawthorns in the summer after the Baggies rejected two bids from Tottenham Hotspur.
In September he tweeted he would never play for chairman Jeremy Peace.
But he said: "It is something I look back on and really regret. I should never have said that. I am human."
Berahino, who was the subject of a £21m bid from Newcastle in January, has scored six goals in 25 games for Albion this season, with boss Tony Pulis critical of his form and fitness.
The England Under-21 international netted 20 times for the Baggies last term.
"I make mistakes," he added. "I hold my hands up and I say it was a mistake from me. I just apologise to all the fans out there that have always supported me and also the club that has always believed in me.
"I have missed a lot of football and I am just trying to get myself back into match fitness and sharper again like I was last season.
"My focus is mainly on getting back to what I was last season and finishing really on a high."
West Brom are 14th in the Premier League and entertain Crystal Palace on Saturday.
Pepsi apologised and pulled the ad after accusations that it trivialised recent street protests across the US. But it wasn't the only company copping flak for poor creativity this week.
German skincare brand Nivea also said sorry over its "white is purity" deodorant advert that was deemed discriminatory and racially insensitive.
Meanwhile, in the UK, the Co-op supermarket was accused of "outrageous sexism" in an advert for chocolate Easter eggs that encouraged parents to "treat your daughter for doing the washing up", while Cadbury was criticised after dropping the word "Easter" from its egg hunts.
These campaigns have now taken their place in the pantheon of bad advertising. Here are a few more picks from recent memory.
Here's another one that left a sour taste. The Snickers TV advert featuring Mr T as BA Baracus from The A-Team was pulled after it was accused of being insulting to gay men.
Mr T is shown firing Snickers chocolate bars at a man who's speed walking in tight yellow shorts, while yelling, "You are a disgrace to the man race. It's time to run like a real man."
Confectionery giant Mars, which owns Snickers, released a statement saying the advert was intended to be funny but that "humour is highly subjective".
In the US and most of the West, this poster would have caused outrage and accusations of racism.
But in Thailand, an image of a woman in blackface and bright pink lipstick to promote a new "charcoal donut" wasn't deemed a big deal.
The chief executive of the Thai franchise - whose daughter was the model - reportedly said at the time: "I don't get it. What's the big fuss? What if the product was white and I painted someone white, would that be racist?" But a spokesman for Dunkin' Brands apologised.
The use of blackface - which historically was used by non-black performers to represent a black person - is still used in some Asian countries. Last year, a company in China used it to promote a laundry detergent.
The US carmaker was forced to issue an apology over a poster that featured three gagged and bound women in the boot of a car.
It also showed former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi in the driver's seat grinning and flashing the peace sign.
The advert for Ford's new Fido hatchback was posted online soon after India passed a new law on violence against women following a fatal gang rape.
This anti-gambling advert deserves to be ranked in the Hall of Fame (or shame) for the amount of jokes it generated.
It was released to coincide with the 2014 World Cup and featured a boy complaining to friends that his dad had bet his life savings on Germany winning. The trouble is... Germany won.
Singapore officials updated the ad but not before it got lampooned around the world.
It takes quite a lot to shock in France, a country many consider to be one of the most liberal in Europe.
But a 2010 anti-smoking advertisement featuring teenagers and oral sex innuendos did just that, with one minister calling it an "outrage to decency".
Critics said the highly suggestive pictures trivialised the sexual abuse of minors.
Thankfully we've since moved on to pictures of diseased organs to put people off smoking instead.
There wasn't any cheering when the US department store Bloomingdale's released its Christmas catalogue two years ago.
The photo of an attractive, well-dressed woman being eyeballed by an unsmiling man looked innocent enough...
Until you read the creepy caption that said "spike your best friend's eggnog when they're not looking".
The online backlash was swift with many interpreting it as supporting date rape. Bloomingdale's admitted the ad was "in poor taste".
Benetton's "Unhate" campaign (which still exists) had good intentions when it launched in 2011.
But on one of its images the Italian clothing company clearly took its photo-editing skills too far.
It received a warning and the threat of legal action from the Vatican for a "totally unacceptable" image of Pope Benedict XVI kissing an Egyptian imam, and subsequently withdrew the ad.
The Vatican said in a statement that the ad was "damaging not only to the dignity of the Pope and the Catholic Church but also to the feelings of believers".
The White House also disapproved of the images featuring then-President Barack Obama but Benetton kept those.
We live in a time where race and gender and sexual orientation remain highly sensitive topics. So what can brands do to generate buzz without offending?
David Meikle, who founded marketing consultancy Salt, doubts that Pepsi will suffer from any long-term damage from the Kendall Jenner ad fiasco.
"Pepsi seems to have managed the retraction and apology quite well. Most importantly Pepsi was swift and decisive in its response to the feedback," he says.
Simon Kemp, a marketing expert with almost two decades of experience, agrees that Pepsi has handled the fallout well but says all eyes will be on its next campaign.
"I think Pepsi has built sufficient goodwill over the years that their core customers will forgive them this time, although they may not forget as quickly as the brand would like. The real test will come when the brand launches its next campaign though, and Pepsi will need to tread carefully for that."

A court in Wurzburg, Germany, heard opening remarks from lawyers representing both sides.
Mr Modamani's photo went viral in August 2015 but was later used to falsely link him to terror attacks.
Facebook deleted some of the posts, but lawyers for Mr Modamani claimed that it had still appeared widely.
They argued that Facebook could have done more to prevent people from sharing the selfie.
The image has been used in posts about attacks in Brussels and on a Christmas market in Berlin.
Facebook lawyer Martin Munz countered that, with billions of postings each day, the company would need to employ "a sort of wonder machine" to detect each misuse, according to Bloomberg.
It also argued that it had removed all images reported by Mr Modamani and that, as the case involved defamation, it was the individuals who had posted the images not Facebook that should be held responsible.
Mr Modamani fled Syria in 2015 and was living in a Berlin shelter, which Ms Merkel visited.
He shared the selfie on his Facebook page, and it became an emblem of Ms Merkel's immigration policy.
Facebook has faced mounting criticism over its handling of fake news stories, and has recently launched filtering systems in the US, Germany and France.
It comes amid suggestions that fake news reports influenced the outcome of the US presidential election.
In France, Facebook has joined forces with Google and eight news organisations to launch fact-checking tools to root out fake news ahead of the country's presidential election.
Germany, which also has elections this year, is considering fining the social media giant for every fake news article it fails to remove.
A ruling on this case is expected in March.
The 46-year-old victim was in the office of his van hire shop on Court Road in Greenwich, south east London when the men burst in.
They choked him until he lost consciousness and made off with the £15,000 watch.
Police have released the footage in a bid to track down the two thieves.
The man was sitting at his desk when the robbers pounced and gripped him in a headlock before wrestling him to the floor and swiping the watch from his wrist.
The pair ran off and were driven away by a woman and a third man in a black Peugeot 206 on nearby Middle Park Avenue.
Police describe the first suspect as a 25-30 year-old white male, with a goatee beard.
The second is described as a 38-40 year-old white male with a scarred complexion.
Det Con Andrew Payne said: "The suspects stood outside the van hire shop in broad daylight for some time, appearing to look at the price list before entering and violently attacking the victim, choking him to the point where he lost consciousness.
"We have taken the decision to release the footage to show the level of violence used, and ask the public for help in apprehending the persons responsible.
"We believe the victim was targeted by the suspects to steal his watch."
The appeals court said the term Allah must be exclusive to Islam or it could cause public disorder.
People of all faiths use the word Allah in Malay to refer to their Gods.
Christians argue they have used the word, which entered Malay from Arabic, to refer to their God for centuries and that the ruling violates their rights.
One Malaysian Christian woman said the ruling would affect the community greatly.
By Jennifer PakBBC News, Kuala Lumpur
The verdict does not come as a surprise to the two million Christians in Malaysia. Many of them believe that the case stems from a tight race between the governing Malay-Muslim party, UMNO, and the opposition Islamic party, PAS.
The Allah ban is seen as an attempt by UMNO to boost its Islamic credentials and win back votes. It's an issue that crops up in the government-linked media ahead of an election and promptly dwindles after the vote.
Christians are so convinced that this issue is about political posturing that most followers say they will continue to use the offending Bibles and use the word Allah in their worship.
Not all Muslims back the ban. But one of the most outspoken supporters is an influential group called Perkasa, which is backed by former prime minister Mahathir Mohamad - a champion of Malay-Muslim rights.
"If we are prohibited from using the word Allah then we have to re-translate the whole Bible, if it comes to that," Ester Moiji from Sabah state told the BBC.
The 2009 ruling sparked tensions, with churches and mosques attacked.
It came after the government said that a Catholic newspaper, The Herald, could not use the word in its Malay-language edition to describe the Christian God.
The newspaper sued, and a court ruled in their favour in December 2009. The government then launched an appeal.
Upholding the appeal on Monday, chief judge Mohamed Apandi Ali said: "The usage of the word Allah is not an integral part of the faith in Christianity. The usage of the word will cause confusion in the community."
The Herald editor Reverend Lawrence Andrew said he was "disappointed and dismayed", and would appeal against the decision.
"It is a retrograde step in the development of law in relation to the fundamental liberty of religious minorities," he said.
The newspaper's supporters have argued that Malay-language Bibles have used Allah to refer to the Christian God since before Malaysia was formed as a federal state in 1963.
"Allah is a term in the Middle East and in Indonesia it is a term both for Christians and Muslims. You cannot say that in all of the sudden it is not an integral part. Malay language is a language that has many borrowed words, Allah also is a borrowed word."
However, some Muslim groups have said that the Christian use of the word Allah could be used to encourage Muslims to convert to Christianity.
"Allah is not a Malay word. If they [non-Muslims] say they want to use a Malay word they should use Tuhan instead of Allah," Zainul Rijal Abu Bakar, a lawyer representing the government, told the BBC.
Dozens of churches and a few Muslim prayer halls were attacked and burned in the wake of the 2009 ruling, highlighting the intensity of feeling about issues of ethnicity and faith in Malaysia.
Some Malaysians believe the governing Malay-Muslim party is using the case to boost its Islamic credentials among voters, the BBC's Jennifer Pak reports from outside the court in Putrajaya.
Malay Muslims make up almost two-thirds of the country's population, but there are large Hindu and Christian communities.
Prime Minister Najib Razak's coalition won elections in May, but it was the coalition's worst result in more than half a century in power.
Six women and four men deny playing any part in the sexual abuse in Norfolk.
The abuse is said to have been carried out against two boys and three girls in and around Norwich and London.
Norwich Crown Court was told two social workers working for Norfolk County Council were alleged to have "tidied up" documents.
Prosecutor Angela Rafferty QC told the court the children were "sexually and physically abused and neglected... in the early parts of their lives".
Marie Black, 34, from Norwich, denies 26 offences, including four counts of rape and two of conspiracy to rape.
She also denies charges including neglect and ill-treatment, sexually assaulting children under 13, conspiracy to cause children to watch sexual acts and causing child pornography.
Nine others are accused of offences including rape, child cruelty, causing children under 13 to engage in sexual activity and sexual assault.
They are Michael Rogers, 53, from Romford; and Jason Adams, 43, Carol Stadler, 59, Anthony Stadler, 63, Nicola Collins, 36, Andrew Collins, 52, Judith Fuller, 31, Denise Barnes, 43, and Kathleen Adams, 84, all from Norwich.
All deny all charges, except Mr Adams, who admits four of five child cruelty charges against him.
Gail Barnard, a senior social worker with Norfolk County Council, told the court the children had described being abused at sex parties and rewarded with certificates carrying slogans such as "secrets are good" and "do not tell anyone".
However, the court heard the trial had originally been due to start last year only to be delayed when prosecutors raised concerns over changes made by social workers to statements taken from the children. This resulted in Norfolk Police launching an investigation into alleged misconduct.
Miss Barnard denied the claim she told another social worker Malcolm Blissett to "tidy up" documents by removing leading questions.
The court heard the children had alleged they were abused hundreds of times but in 2010 police closed the case saying the number of allegations made a police prosecution implausible.
At about the same time, jurors were told, Miss Barnard became a patient of a chiropractor allegedly involved in the abuse and discussed the case during treatment.
The court heard Miss Barnard failed to tell police she was a patient of the chiropractor and the social worker was asked by Sarah Elliott QC, representing Ms Black, if she had carried out her "own investigation".
Miss Barnard replied: "I wouldn't call it investigating but I did make inquiries."
Ms Elliott asked Miss Barnard if she had been aware of the Orkney, Cleveland and Rochdale satanic abuse scandals in the 1990s that saw children wrongly removed from their families. Miss Barnard replied: "Yes."
These cases brought about major changes in social work practices, including the way in which children should be questioned about abuse.
The case continues.
In the last of my short films from the world's second biggest economy, which has shaped our prosperity since 1980, I talk to Chinese business leaders and investors about how bad it could get - and the probability of a fully fledged crash that could hurt us all.
Launching the Centre of Excellence in Cyber Security Analytics, Cardiff University and Airbus said it was the first of its kind in Europe.
Their research will aim to protect corporate IT networks, intellectual property and critical national infrastructure.
The university has also been awarded almost £2m, aimed at developing a machine to detect cyber threats.
The centre will be located at the university's School of Computer Science and Informatics.
Together with experts from Airbus, researchers will carry out studies into machine learning, data analytics and artificial intelligence for cyber-attack detection.
The centre will also develop academic programmes in cyber security, in an attempt "to fill the skills gap that currently exists in the field".
Dr Pete Burnap from the university, the centre's director, said: "Cyber security analytics is about improving our resilience to cyber-attacks through data modelling to detect and block malicious behaviour before it causes its full impact.
"But [it's] also about understanding what motivates the behaviour, what its likely impact will be, and how to communicate security alerts among decision and policy-makers."
Dr Kevin Jones, head of cyber security innovation at Airbus, said collaborating with universities was "a key approach in the future protection of critical systems".
He said the centre would enable the rapid transfer of research into operational activities and ensure researchers are able to access the latest techniques and data.
In March, the National Cyber Security Centre's Cardiff-born director of operations said Wales was well placed to take advantage of the growing industry in tackling online crime.
A National Software Academy has already been established in Newport to train the next generation of experts, while the Welsh Government wants to make south east Wales a hub for the industry.

Retired probation officer David Ross has been told he has months to live as a result of lung cancer.
Unable to go to concerts, a friend of Mr Ross alerted Colchester's Roman River Music festival to his situation.
Organisers arranged for professional musicians to visit his home in the village of Great Bentley and play a number of pieces for Mr Ross, his family and friends.
He described the experience as "utterly wonderful".

People trying to log on to the site were faced with a message saying: "Something went wrong. We're working to get it fixed as soon as we can."
The short shutdown drew attention across the web with many taking to Twitter to ask what all the fuss was about.
Facebook apologised for the problem but did not say what caused it.
"Earlier this morning, we experienced an issue that prevented people from posting to Facebook for a brief period of time. We resolved the issue quickly, and we are now back to 100%. We're sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused."
It is not yet clear how many countries were affected.
Evans, from Cardiff, admitted unlawfully wounding Michael Wilson after they had been drinking at a Gloucestershire pub for "several hours".
Mr Wilson spent four days in hospital following the incident last October with a broken jaw and a displaced nose.
Evans, 24, was told he could face jail and sentencing was adjourned.
He is the current Olympic silver medal holder at welterweight after he was runner up at the London 2012 Olympics.
Mr Wilson told the court he was "shook up still" and "frightened and nervous".
Judge Jamie Tabor QC ordered a pre-sentence report and bailed Evans until 12 October.
The Spaniard, 26, was injured when the coach was damaged by explosions as it travelled to Dortmund's stadium for the team's Champions League quarter-final first leg against Monaco on Tuesday.
Bartra had an operation after fracturing his wrist in the incident.
He is expected to return to training with his team-mates in a month.
In a post on Instagram on Friday, he described the incident as "the longest and hardest 15 minutes of my life".
Tuesday's match was postponed and played a day later, with Monaco winning 3-2.
Dortmund beat Eintracht Frankfurt 3-1 in the Bundesliga on Saturday.
Three explosive devices containing metal pieces went off soon after Dortmund left their hotel to travel to Tuesday's game.
German police detained a suspect with "Islamist links".
But, on Friday, investigators said there was "significant doubt" the attack was the work of radical Islamists.
They said letters found at the scene may be an attempt to trick people into thinking there was an Islamist motive, and it may have been the work of political extremists or violent football fans.
Ian and Summer Swanwick were involved in the crash on a country road near Market Harborough on Monday evening.
After waiting two hours, they were taken to Leicester Royal Infirmary by the fire service, the family said.
East Midlands Ambulance Service (Emas) has apologised and promised a full investigation.
The pair were visiting Ian's sister, Helen Walmsley-Johnson, in Rutland when they crashed and had to be cut free from their vehicle.
Mrs Walmsley-Johnson said police told her they had called for an ambulance but it would not arrive for two hours.
Updates on this story and more from Leicestershire
They later heard the service did not know what time they would arrive, so firefighters decided they would take the pair if an ambulance did not turn up by midnight.
Mrs Walmsley-Johnson said: "When we got to A&E I started to get crosser and crosser about the fact that there were banks of ambulances out there.
"They seemed to be hamstrung about how quickly they could hand over their patients and then get away."
Emas said the entire health system was under "extreme pressure" on Monday evening and it was "dealing with a high volume of life-threatening calls".
"We will be conducting a full investigation into the circumstances of the delay which will include liaising with our colleagues in the fire service."
The service said 10 out of 30 ambulances in use at the time were held up at Leicester Royal Infirmary, due to delays in patient handovers.
Leicestershire Fire Service said: "We have done it previously. When the condition of the casualties are such that our crews can transport them then we do that rather than wait for an ambulance which could be some time."
Mr Gill, who also sits as an independent North Wales AM in the Welsh Assembly, said he was embarrassed by infighting within the party.
His comments come after two UKIP MEPs were involved in altercation.
"Unfortunately, right now, we just seem to be sliding back into the infighting in a very public way," he told BBC Radio Wales' Sunday Supplement.
He described the last week, which started with the departure of former party leader Diane James and the return of Nigel Farage, as "horrendous".
UKIP MEP Steven Woolfe, who is among the favourites to be the party's next leader, was taken to hospital on Thursday after an altercation at the European Parliament in Strasbourg following a meeting of UKIP members.
An investigation has been launched.
Mr Gill said: "There have been many times this week when I have held my head in my hands... and just thought 'what on earth in the world is going on' and I am embarrassed by what has been going on."
Asked if he thought he would still be a member of UKIP in a year from now, he said: "I don't know."
He added: "I do feel very, very saddened by the behaviour of many people within my party right now."
Variations on singing by corn buntings in the Western Isles is being studied by researchers led by Dr Rupert Marshall of Aberystwyth University.
He said the latest research suggests a fall in the number of dialects.
Around a reserve on North Uist there were up to five, while now there are two, he said. On South Uist, another dialect appears to have vanished.
Dr Marshall said of the South Uist case: "I looked at the fence post where I used to see one of the strongest singers there.
"I could see his droppings from the previous year and I knew he should have been there, but he wasn't and none of the other birds of that dialect were singing.
"It is like an old folk song but nobody knows it any more."
Numbers of corn buntings had a severe, long-term decline across Scotland in the 1970s to 2000s.
However, new research suggests numbers of the birds in Moray/Aberdeenshire may have stabilised.
The 61,000-seat stadium will be the largest-capacity football club ground in the capital when it opens in 2018.
It will include what is believed to be the longest general admission bar in a UK stadium as well as heated seats, a micro-brewery and an in-house bakery.
Chairman Daniel Levy said the ground would "redefine sports and entertainment experiences".
The stadium will have a retractable grass field and an artificial surface underneath it allowing the ground to host football games, NFL matches, concerts and other events.
Other features in the stadium include:
The new stadium is expected to cost £750m but will create about 3,500 jobs in the area when it is finished, according to the club.
Mauricio Pochettino's side will temporarily relocate for the 2017/18 season as the stadium is being built.
The Football Association (FA) has given Tottenham the option to hire Wembley but Conservative MP Bob Blackman warned in the Commons this could lead to the "potential abuse" of the "national treasure".
Wembley has also been suggested as a temporary home for Chelsea when a new 60,000-seat stadium is built at Stamford Bridge.
The manufacturer has advised millions of owners to unplug their machines, but has refused to issue a safety recall.
The dryers, sold under the Hotpoint, Creda and Indesit brands, have been blamed for a number of fires, including one in a London tower block.
The government must respond to petitions that get 10,000 signatures.
If the total reaches 100,000, there has to be a debate in parliament.
Truth, fires and tumble dryers; are our home appliances safe?
Whirlpool has insisted that its offer to repair all the affected machines is the most effective way to solve the problem.
The dryers subject to the Whirlpool repair programme were manufactured between April 2004 and September 2015 under the Hotpoint, Indesit, Creda, Swan and Proline brands.
But consumer group Which? is demanding that all the machines are recalled, with customers being given a refund.
It has started legal action against Trading Standards in Peterborough, which has backed Whirlpool's decision not to order a recall.
In addition, 75,000 people have signed Which's own petition asking Whirlpool to do more.

Whirlpool freephone helplines: 0800 151 0905 for the UK, or 1800 804320 for the Irish Republic
In the meantime, owners have been left wondering what to do about the machines they can no longer use.
Many are in the queue to receive a free repair, but waiting lists are said to be up to a year.
Ben Ebdon, who bought a dryer in John Lewis, said he could not get his repaired because the serial number is not being recognised.
"I think our dryer may be very dangerous - but Whirlpool say they don't recognise it, so can't repair it," he told the BBC.
"Scary! We are totally in limbo."
Don Kiddle, from Bidford on Avon, said Whirlpool had refused to replace his Indesit dryer until he wrote to his MP.
"I contacted my local MP, Nadhim Zawalhi. He in turn wrote to the chief executive and surprisingly enough we were contacted by the company who delivered a brand new tumble dryer and took the old one away. The item was at zero cost too."
The Local Government Association (LGA), which represents 48 Fire Brigades in England and Wales, said Whirlpool should begin a "mass publicity" campaign to warn people not to use their dryers.
Whirlpool has written to 3.8 million owners of the affected dryers, offering repairs, but as many as 2.4 million have not responded.
The LGA repeated warnings that faulty tumble dryers are causing three fires a day, although not all of these are Whirlpool machines.
"For needless months, consumers have been playing 'Russian roulette' with at-risk tumble dryers prone to bursting into flames and destroying homes, and with firefighters attending three fires a day caused by the appliances," said Cllr Simon Blackburn, chair of the LGA's safer and stronger communities board.
The London Fire Brigade alone said it was attending a tumble dryer fire once a day on average.
Which? said that dryers were the second biggest cause of house fires, causing 12% of them.
Police found the body of Deborah Fowler, 45, in Barton Road, Newport, on 2 August.
Following the release of the 53-year-old man, Hampshire Constabulary said it was not looking for anyone else in connection with the death.
A post-mortem examination has not identified the cause of death.
A police spokesman said it was still being treated as unexplained.
Under current rules in Britain, women can serve on the front line but are banned from close combat.
But Gen Sir Peter Wall told Soldier magazine that women should have equal opportunities and allowing them to participate in close combat would make the armed forces "look more normal".
The Ministry of Defence said the rules were due to be reviewed in 2018.
Last year, the United States lifted its ban on women serving in such roles, joining many other countries around the world.
Sir Peter said Britain must take a view on whether to also change its policy "fairly soon".
He said a rethink was "definitely something that we need to be considering seriously" but he cautioned that some people would always believe "close battle is no place for female soldiers."
Sir Peter - who is responsible for developing military capability in the Army - said he wanted women to "know the service is open to them".
He said: "Women need to see they have equal opportunities right throughout the organisation.
Countries who allow woman to participate in close combat roles include:
United States, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Germany, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Romania, Spain, and Sweden
Source: UK Ministry of Defence, Australian government
"Allowing them to be combat troops would make us look more normal society but there will always be people who say the close battle is no place for female soldiers."
But he cautioned: "We need to go about this with great care, especially with all the other changes going on [in the armed forces]."
The Ministry of Defence is required under European Law to review its policy every eight years.
The last review in 2010 raised concerns that having men and women in small units for months at a time could undermine "team cohesion".
But it said women would be able to meet the physical and psychological demands of the roles.
An MoD spokesman said: "The vast majority of roles in the armed forces are open to women and hundreds are currently serving their country with distinction in Afghanistan.
"They are fundamental to the operational effectiveness of the UK's armed forces, bringing talent and skills across the board.
"A 2010 review into women serving in combat roles concluded there should be no change to the existing policy and another review will take place before 2018."
There has been debate within the armed forces about whether women should be allowed in close combat roles.
Brigadier Nicky Moffat - who became one of the most senior female army officers - said in January 2013 that it was wrong to dismiss people just on gender.
She said she was "deeply uncomfortable" with the idea of excluding a whole group of potentially capable soldiers, just because they were women.
But responding at the time Major Judith Webb, who became the first woman to command an all-male field squadron, said that women might not meet the standards required for combat duty.
She said that opening it up to women might be self-defeating because they were not going to meet those standards.
"Two women who made it through marine training in the US didn't qualify."
The Spaniard, 32, won 6-3 6-3 in Bucharest to deny 21-year-old Edmund a first clay-court quarter-final.
Edmund, ranked 55 places lower at 92 in the world, saved nine of 12 break points but could not force one on the Garcia-Lopez serve.
The match had been postponed on Wednesday because of heavy rain.
Britain's Colin Fleming and Jonathan Erlich of Israel fought back to beat Argentina's Guido Pella and Czech Lukas Rosol 2-6 6-4 10-6 in the doubles.
The move was announced in the House of Lords as peers urged changes to the law to make failing to report known or suspected abuse a criminal offence.
Lord Bates said this would be premature and the public should be consulted first on who such a law would apply to.
The Home Office minister said the government had an "open mind".
A 12-week review, to begin shortly, will examine the "advisability, risk, nature and scope" of any legal reporting duty, including which forms of abuse it should apply to and what organisations and individuals would be bound by it.
David Cameron has said mandatory reporting, which is backed by campaign groups, should be considered in response to the multiple abuse scandals that have come to light in recent years.
Lord Bates said ministers were seeking the views of all those with "strong opinions" on the matter, including victims of abuse.
The experience of countries such as the US and Australia, where mandatory reporting is in place, should be taken into account, suggesting that research so far was "inconclusive".
"The government will look at all the responses it receives with an open mind," he said. "It will be a thorough, open and transparent consultation with a rigorous evaluation of the responses."
Lib Dem peer Baroness Walmsley agreed to abandon attempts to change current legislation to make not informing the authorities of abuse against children and vulnerable adults within 10 days punishable by up to three years in prison.
Mr Laws told the National Association of Head Teachers it was "time to end the period of real pay cuts" for public sector staff.
He said the Lib Dems would "draw a line in the sand" on public sector pay in any post-election negotiations.
NAHT leader Russell Hobby has warned whoever is in office to expect to hear "there is still no money".
Mr Laws, addressing the annual conference of the NAHT in Liverpool, promised that a coalition including the Liberal Democrats would increase teachers' pay from 2017.
"We will show teachers that we value you through your pay packet," he said.
"Austerity has been tough and public sector workers have made a significant contribution to balancing the books and rebuilding the economy.
"So, as we return to economic growth, from next year onwards, it's time to end the period of real pay cuts."
This election issue includes funding for schools, university tuition fees and early years education.
Policy guide: Where the parties stand
Mr Laws repeated his party's commitment to protect the education budget - arguing that this was a more watertight assurance than the promises of either Labour or the Conservatives, because it took into account both the rising number of pupils and the need for spending to rise with inflation.
"Neither the Labour party nor the Conservatives are prepared to put the money where their mouth is on education," said Mr Laws.
And he said that creating an independent standards authority to decide on the curriculum would end the problem of excessive political interference.
"It's not up to us to determine which exact works of literature or periods of history are taught," he said.
His experience as schools minister had made him "believe even more strongly that government interferes too much and too regularly in our school system".
"It should never ever be a case of us and them, politicians versus the profession.
"A culture of criticising teachers, often for nothing more than cheap headlines, is a lose-lose situation for everyone - particularly for the children passing through the education system."
Labour has campaigned on stopping academy and free schools from employing teachers without teaching qualifications - and Mr Laws said that the Liberal Democrats would also make it a requirement for teachers to have qualified teacher status.
He also said that Ofsted should be able to inspect the groups running academy chains, a move that has been opposed by their Conservative former coalition partners.
Speaking to the head teachers' conference on Friday, Labour's Tristram Hunt warned of the importance of protecting funding for early years education and claimed that 750 Sure Start centres had been forced to shut.
In response to the speech from Mr Laws, Mr Hunt said: "You can't trust a word the Liberal Democrats say. They broke their promise on tuition fees and people will not believe a word that they say on education spending."
Education Secretary Nicky Morgan has argued that the Conservatives will protect spending on education, expand the number of academies and raise standards.
A future Conservative government is promising to introduce a new re-sit test in secondary school for 100,000 pupils who get poor results in English and maths tests at the end of primary school.
The NAHT's Russell Hobby has warned that schools face a looming funding shortage and increasing difficulty in recruiting teachers and school leaders. He has also warned that schools now have to do much work that would usually be associated with social services, such as feeding and clothing children.
"What do the next five years hold for us? What do we expect and what will we do? Much that we face will happen whoever gains power," said Mr Hobby.
"To paraphrase a famous note, there is still no money. We are merely halfway through austerity and half a million more pupils are coming our way. Expect tight budgets and make every penny count."
The force said since the start of 2014 it received 60 calls about crimes at The Earl of Dudley Arms in Wellington Road, Dudley, including five serious assaults and an attempted murder.
A closure notice was served at Wolverhampton Magistrates' Court.
The licensee was also ordered to pay costs of £750.
Det Ch Insp Chris Hanson, from West Midlands Police CID, said: "The licence holder of Earl of Dudley has a duty to protect his customers but he has failed to do that: he has allowed members of a local gang to frequent his premises and commit serious acts of violence towards innocent customers.
"In the latest incident earlier this month a man was badly beaten inside the premises. Two men have been charged in connection with that attack and await trial."
The 28-year-old England international has extended his current contract by four years in a deal worth up to £300,000 a week.
Rooney told his website: "I'm happy everything is now finalised and I can carry on concentrating on my football."
"Manchester United's decision to award Wayne Rooney the most expensive long-term contract in the club's history is more than about just keeping one of their most influential players at Old Trafford.
"This is about a demonstration - some might even say desperation - to show that United under David Moyes can still keep their best players even at a time when their own status in the domestic and European game is reduced, no matter how temporarily."
Rooney moved from Everton in 2004 and is 42 goals shy of passing Sir Bobby Charlton's record of 249 United goals.
He has scored 208 goals in 430 games in all competitions for the Red Devils, and will be 33 at the end of his new deal. He will become a club ambassador when he retires from the game.
Rooney said of potentially breaking Charlton's record: "This is definitely something I would like to achieve. If I managed to do it it'd be something I'd be very proud of. My aim is always to score and create as many goals as possible, so if I can continue to score regularly and break the record then I would be delighted."
Manchester United boss David Moyes added on United's website: "I said last July that Wayne has an outstanding chance to be a true legend of this club's long and rich history. He is just 42 goals away from overtaking Sir Bobby as our record goalscorer and becoming the first United player to hit 250 goals for the club.
"These opportunities only come to special players and I'm confident Wayne will set a new record that will take decades to reach."
Rooney, whose previous £250,000-a-week deal would have expired next year, had looked set to leave Old Trafford last summer after former United manager Sir Alex Ferguson claimed he had asked for a transfer - something the player denied.
Chelsea had more than one bid for him rejected but new boss Moyes insisted he wanted to keep his former Everton player at Old Trafford.
The new deal involves a basic wage of £250,000 a week, but with commercial rights making it more lucrative for the player, up to £300,000.
Moyes told BBC Sport: "We always felt Wayne wanted to stay. He's a great player and hopefully we can keep him at a really high level which he has showed this season.
"We're all delighted. It's part of the rebuilding and part of it is also to make sure you keep the players you really want to keep.
"The record signing of Juan Mata from Chelsea in January was the first part of what Woodward and Moyes hope will be a three-step strategy back to the top.
"Rooney's new deal is part two while the summer is phase three. That's when we will really be able to judge how serious the owners are about rebuilding United's under-powered squad.
"Mata's arrival and Rooney's decision to stay - having been courted first by Manchester City and more recently Chelsea - will surely help the club attract top talent before the start of next season."

"Everybody would want him, you could see the clubs who did want him but there was never a chance he was going to leave Manchester United, certainly not on my watch."
It seems likely that next season will be Rooney's first out of the Champions League since his move from Goodison Park 10 years ago.
United are 11 points off the top four, although they could still qualify by winning this season's tournament.
But Rooney said he was not concerned, preferring to concentrate on the club's long-term future.
The Liverpudlian said: "I know that's what some of the press thought but it's not a massive concern for me. This is because I know the direction that this club is going in, and if we don't make it this season then we will come back stronger and claim a Champions League spot next season.
"Let's not forget we still have a chance this year, some of the other teams are playing well but we have a strong squad here and if we have a positive end to the season then who knows what can happen."
Rooney has won five Premier League titles and the Champions League in his time at Old Trafford.
The forward, who returned to first-team action at the end of January after nearly a month out with an injury, has made 28 club appearances this season and scored 11 goals.
The 24-year-old will not be eligible for Lincoln's FA Cup tie at Burnley, after playing in the for the Gills in an earlier round.
Knott began his career at Sunderland, making one appearance in 2013, and has represented England at Under-20 level.
He is likely to make his Imps debut against Woking on 11 February.

State-run telecommunications company Etecsa will install internet in some 2,000 homes in the capital's colonial district, Old Havana.
The company has also reduced by 25% the fee charged to connect to the web, which most Cubans can only access from public wi-fi hotspots.
Cuba has one of the lowest online connectivity rates in the world.
Dissidents accuse the government of not providing affordable home internet access for political reasons.
The Cuban government blames the US for the poor state of telecoms infrastructure, which it says is caused by the American economic embargo imposed in the 1960s.
Details of the news scheme are scarce, but the authorities say the experiment will be extended if it is approved after the two-month trial period.
Many Cubans hope the country's communist government will eventually expand the scheme, says the BBC's Will Grant in Havana.
Last week, Etecsa signed an agreement with Google to provide faster access to content including Gmail and YouTube.
Google will install local servers that will speed up connection to its services.
Much of the island's internet infrastructure is obsolete.
Google and Etecsa reached agreement in the final weeks of Barack Obama's presidency, but it is not clear whether his successor, Donald Trump, will change US policies towards Cuba. | If you want to analyse the phenomenon of independent politicians, North Down is the place to be.

The Cuban government has announced a two-month trial scheme to allow internet access in private homes. | 32,540,857 | 13,678 | 1,001 | true |
One of our producers, James Oliver, is a member of the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) and the Belfast office where he works has investigated big data leaks in the past.
The Luxembourg leaks that Panorama investigated with French TV in 2012 contained 28,000 documents. And the HSBC files that we investigated with the ICIJ last year held 60,000 documents.
But the Panama Papers were on a completely different scale. Where do you begin when you have 11 million documents to look at?
This was a project that would take 10 months and the budget was stretched, so most of the searching fell to just two researchers.
David Thompson and Conor Spackman spent hundreds of hours going through document after document, as they searched for the journalistic needle in the haystack.
The data was fascinating and frustrating in equal measure.
One of Conor's first searches found Prime Minister David Cameron's late father and the offshore investment fund he helped set up.
But the vast majority of documents in the database were of little value. There were endless company formations, appointments of nominee directors, invoices for fees - the routine rubber stamping of the offshore industry at work.
Days, sometimes weeks, would go by with little of interest to report.
And it was easy to get lost in the information. A search on one individual might yield a couple of hundred documents. Halfway through searching through those, another lead might appear on someone else with another few hundred documents attached.
The opportunities to get diverted and distracted were limitless.
But slowly the stories started to emerge. There were 1,464 documents about four mysterious offshore companies run by Bank Rossiya in Russia.
They included dozens of suspicious contracts and loans that appeared to have been set up to siphon money from the state.
The owner of two of the companies was one of President Vladimir Putin's oldest friends - a cellist called Sergei Roldugin.
It was still a big task to unpick what was going on and it might have taken Panorama years to do it alone.
But the ICIJ has introduced a new, collaborative way of working. Almost 400 journalists around the world had agreed to help each other, rather than compete for exclusive stories.
This co-operation transformed the way we worked. David Thompson talked regularly to our colleagues in Germany and in Switzerland. They divided up the documents and the tasks between them.
If we needed some additional help in Russia, there were ICIJ colleagues we could call for help. The Guardian and the ICIJ shared their findings too.
This small team put the pieces together and uncovered a suspected billion-dollar money laundering scheme that led to the door of the Kremlin.
Similar collaborations sprang up all round the world. Johannes Kristjansson from Reykjavik Media helped journalists working on the story about the secret offshore company owned by Icelandic Prime Minister Sigmundur Gunnlaugsson with his wife.
When we needed an expert to explain the difference between tax avoidance and evasion in Panama, our Panamanian partner was happy to help.
The ICIJ set up a forum where all members were encouraged to share their stories and their ideas.
Journalists with mutual interests set up threads which any member could join. The titles give some idea of the range of stories being covered - Three UK Crooks, Oil for Fuel Scandal and Yachts, Vessels and Cruises to name just a few.
It was like being given the keys to the investigative candy shop. You could pick which stories you were interested in, take some advice and then plunge back into the documents to find the evidence.
Panorama doesn't take stories from third parties. We always investigate and verify every aspect of our programmes ourselves.
But through the collaboration of the ICIJ we had an extra layer of protection. As we came closer to broadcast, trusted partners started to exchange and check each other's stories.
We were grateful to the Swiss journalist Oliver Zihlmann and the German journalist Petra Blum, who spotted a potential problem in a particularly complicated part of the Russian story at the eleventh hour.
Extra pairs of eyes were needed, as we have rarely made so many complicated allegations against so many people.
We wrote to 11 people and organisations in the Russian story alone to offer them a right of reply. Most were extremely wealthy and more than capable of taking legal action if we made a mistake.
The pressure intensified last weekend. BBC News was fully behind the story and that meant a huge demand for material from radio, TV, online and social media.
The international collaboration paid off. The volume and quality of stories from our partners ensured that the Panama Papers dominated headlines around the world.
It feels like a sea change in the way investigative journalists work.
The reporters on the Suddeutsche Zeitung who obtained the leak could have kept the documents for themselves, but they may never have been fully investigated.
By sharing - rather than scooping - they created the biggest story about tax havens the world has ever seen.
Artist Tan Draig spent four days weaving the threads around the pillars which support the cast iron structure of Strutt's North Mill in Derbyshire.
Each of the 500 figures is said to represent a worker.
The exhibit in Belper was due to be taken down on Monday but has proved so popular organisers extended the show until mid-July.
Mr Draig said: "The idea of the web is that it reflects the tight spaces that the mill workers worked in, surrounded by machines in great long rows, all running with miles of cotton threads that were being spun, doubled and finished.
"People will be able to walk down the tunnel within the web and see if they can find some of the really tiny figures of workers hidden within it."
The artist worked with more than 100 people on craft projects which have been incorporated into the exhibit.
Strutt's North Mill in Belper was built in 1804 and forms part of the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site.
The Paris Saint-Germain striker poked home to open the scoring before Danny Welbeck volleyed an equaliser.
Steven Caulker, one of six England debutants, prodded his team in front but Ibrahimovic smashed a leveller.
The 31-year-old drilled in a low free-kick before completing the win with a stunning bicycle kick from 30 yards.
It was a wondrous strike that combined magnificent technique with unerring accuracy, even drawing applause from the away fans.
Ibrahimovic's virtuoso display provided an emphatic response to those who claim he flatters to deceive on the big stage.
The 6ft 5ins forward stole the show on a night that would otherwise have belonged to England's raft of new players and Steven Gerrard on his 100th international appearance.
Caulker, Leon Osman and Raheem Sterling all won their first caps from the start, while Ryan Shawcross, Carl Jenkinson and Wilfried Zaha were introduced as substitutes.
Jack Wilshere, meanwhile, came off the bench to make his first international appearance since June 2011.
But none of them could help England to a first win in Stockholm since 1937 as Roy Hodgson suffered only his second loss in 12 matches.

Revered for his time as a manager in Sweden, Hodgson received a warm welcome inside the new 50,000-seat Friends Arena.
Unfortunately the pitch was not so pleasant and prevented either side from attempting to employ a slick brand of passing football.
The grass was grown on the border between the Netherlands and Germany and brought to the stadium last Thursday by 24 lorries, which will take it all back later this week.
While it disrupted the early stages as players spent longer replacing divots than touching the ball, England created the first chance of note when Osman drew a low save from Andreas Isaksson.
Gary Cahill almost connected with Gerrard's free-kick, but the visitors could not capitalise on their momentum and were punished.
Martin Olsson robbed Sterling of possession and exchanged passes with Mathias Ranegie before crossing from the left.
Ibrahimovic's initial shot was blocked by Caulker but the striker reacted quickest to stab a fine finish high past Joe Hart.
That finally brought some noise from the quiet home crowd under the stadium's closed roof, and Sweden should have doubled their advantage when Ranegie fired over following a collision between Hart and Cahill.
It was a miss that proved crucial because, four minutes later, Young turned Sebastian Larsson and crossed for Welbeck to volley his fifth goal from as many shots on target in his international career.
England suddenly looked energised and their positive approach immediately brought further reward, Caulker exploiting some poor defending to volley in Gerrard's set-piece.
The Tottenham centre-back then helped ensure England took their lead into half-time with a vital deflection that sent Ibrahimovic's goalbound shot over the bar.
Hodgson resisted the opportunity to make changes at the break and the decision paid off as his team began to dominate.
Welbeck and Osman narrowly failed to convert a superb Leighton Baines cross, while Isaksson denied Osman and Gerrard.
Sweden eventually began to rally and that prompted Hodgson into action - Daniel Sturridge, Wilshere, Shawcross, Tom Huddlestone and Jenkinson the players introduced.
However, they could not halt the home side's flow and 36-year-old substitute Anders Svensson chipped a delightful pass for Ibrahimovic to control with his chest and expertly volley past Hart.
The Manchester City goalkeeper looked uncertain all night and will have been unhappy to see Ibrahimovic's skidding free-kick from distance settle into the bottom corner of the post he was covering.
Zaha, the 20-year-old Crystal Palace winger, entered the fray but could do nothing as Ibrahimovic scored his wonderful fourth.
Hart headed clear from just outside his area and the ball fell towards Ibrahimovic, who looped a world-class finish into the net.
To compound England's woes, they dropped to second in their 2014 World Cup qualifying group after Montenegro beat San Marino.

Nigel Sweeting, 50, of Bettws, Newport, crashed into David Evans, 49, on the M4 in the city on Christmas Day 2015.
Newport Crown Court heard Sweeting was "fully aware" of his vision problems.
He denied causing death by dangerous driving and attempting to pervert the course of justice but was convicted by a jury.
The court heard both men were travelling at approximately 81mph (130km/h) in wet conditions when Sweeting's white Mini crashed into Mr Evans' motorbike.
Mr Evans died after hitting a lamppost.
Sweeting, a former soldier, did not stop after the collision, did not report the incident to police and attempted to cover up the damage to his car by painting it.
Prosecutor James Wilson said an optician had advised him not to drive and gave him a note to see his GP in the months before the crash.
"He drove knowing he had a problem with his eyesight - the condition affected his peripheral vision to the left hand side," he said.
Mr Evans' family is now campaigning for a change in the law to require medical professionals to tell the DVLA about anyone who is unfit to drive because of poor eyesight.

All chickens at the wholesale market where the positive test took place were to be destroyed, the government said.
The government has also banned the import of live chickens from the mainland for three weeks.
H7N9 made the jump from infecting domestic chickens and ducks to infecting people in early 2013.
In mainland China, where most of the recent cases have been, state media said live poultry trading had been halted in three cities in Zhejiang province, where 12 people have died from H7N9 this month.
Shanghai would also halt live poultry trading from 31 January for three months, state media said.
The measures come as China prepares to celebrate the Lunar New Year holiday, with hundreds of millions of people travelling across the country to spend time with relatives.
Sales of live chickens traditionally rise ahead of the holiday period.
According to the World Health Organisation, cases of human H7N9 infection have been reported so far in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
The virus emerged in humans in early 2013. To date there have been more than 200 cases, with more than 50 deaths.
Most of those infected reported contact with live poultry, and information so far did not support sustained human-to-human transmission, the WHO said.
Hong Kong's Secretary for Food and Health Ko Wing-man said in a statement that Cheung Sha Wan market - the territory's only wholesale poultry market - would be closed for 21 days for disinfection.
Local farms would also suspend sending chickens to the wholesale market.
Officials would "inspect all the local chicken farms and collect more samples for testing to ensure that local farms are not affected by H7 avian influenza", he said.
Television footage showed officials in protective suits putting chickens into bins pumped with carbon dioxide to cull them.
The operation was expected to take around 10 hours, and the dead chicken would be taken to a landfill, a spokesman from the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department told AFP news agency.
This is Hong Kong's first mass cull of live poultry in three years, the BBC's Juliana Liu in Hong Kong reports.
Chicken stall owners have said they will lose money as a result of the cull.
Hong Kong last culled chickens and banned imports in December 2011, over the H5N1 bird flu virus.
The suspect came from Molenbeek and was carrying a bomb armed with nails and gas canisters, officials said.
He was shot and later died after the explosion, which is being treated as a terrorist attack.
He was known to police but had not been linked to terrorism, reports said.
Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel told reporters that a "terrorist attack had been averted" at the station.
Prosecutor Eric Van der Sypt said the suspect, identified only by his initials O.Z., had approached a group of passengers beneath the main concourse and attempted to blow up his suitcase. It partially exploded and caught fire before blowing up a second time.
The man had then run towards a station-master and targeted a soldier, screaming "Allahu Akbar (God is greatest)", before being shot. He was not wearing a suicide belt.
He later died of his injuries and his home in Molenbeek was searched by special forces in the early hours of Wednesday. Officials were seen leaving the man's home hours later with what prosecutors said were potential bomb-making materials. "Preliminary results... showed that he probably made the bomb there," said Mr Van der Sypt.
The man was named by Belgian media as Oussama Zariouh and the mayor of Molenbeek said he was known for drugs offences but was not on any jihadist watch list. The prosecutor said there were indications that he had sympathies for so-called Islamic State.
After convening a security cabinet on Wednesday, the prime minister said extra measures were being taken to secure stations, public places and major events.
Major concerts by rock group Coldplay were due to go ahead in Brussels as planned on Wednesday and Thursday. Belgium is currently at its second highest level of security alert. The capital is also due to host a summit of European Union leaders on Thursday and Friday.
Brussels was hit by a double bombing in March 2016 in which 32 people died. The attacks on Zaventem airport and the Brussels metro were claimed by the Islamic State (IS) group.
Many of the jihadists involved in the 2016 Brussels bombings and the Paris attacks in November 2015 came from the Belgian capital, and several from Molenbeek in particular.
The district just west of the city centre was home to Paris suicide bomber Ibrahim Abdeslam and his brother Salah Abdeslam, seen as a key figure in the attacks. Brussels attacks suspect Mohamed Abrini was a childhood friend.
Interior Minister Jan Jambon said the problems that had built up in Molenbeek over decades "cannot be put right in barely 10 months".
Defence Minister Steven Vandeput praised the soldiers for following their guidelines to the letter when they opened fire on the attacker.
A bystander who took a picture of the suitcase when it caught fire said he did not at first realise it was a bomb. "It was only when I heard the second blast and then shots being fired that I thought I'd better run," said lawyer Rémy Bonnaffée.
Nicolas Van Herrewegen, a railway sorting agent, said he had gone down to the station's mezzanine level when he heard someone shouting.
"I was behind a wall when it exploded. I went down and alerted my colleagues to evacuate everyone. He [the suspect] was still around but after that we didn't see him."
"It wasn't exactly a big explosion but the impact was pretty big," he added. "People were running away."
Several attacks have taken place in Paris and London in recent days.
The French capital was jolted on Monday when a man with an Islamist background died after ramming his car into a police van on the Avenue des Champs-Élysée. The Brussels prosecutor said on Wednesday that the Paris attack was not being linked to the Belgian explosion "for the time being".
London has also been on edge since a van was driven into Muslim worshippers outside a mosque on Sunday night, with one man dying and nine people injured. It followed IS-claimed attacks on London's Borough Market in June and a pop concert in Manchester in May that together left some 30 people dead and more than 100 injured.
Fire broke out at the Grade II listed Regent Cinema in Lyme Regis at lunchtime.
The collapse of the structure meant firefighters were only able to tackle the blaze from outside the building.
Cinema staff and people who were in a shop that also occupies the building are reported to be safe, the fire service said.
At the height of the blaze, thick black smoke rising from the site could be seen for miles.
Dorset Fire and Rescue said eight crews from three counties worked to prevent the flames spreading to adjoining buildings.
A cordon was put in place and neighbouring businesses were closed for the afternoon.
People with respiratory conditions were advised to keep their windows closed.

Winfrey, one of the world's richest women, claimed an assistant refused to serve her in an upmarket handbag shop.
She was apparently told one of the bags on display was "too expensive" for her.
Shop owner Trudie Gotz told the BBC that Winfrey was "absolutely allowed" to look at the $35,000 (£22,500) bag, which was kept behind a screen.
"My salesperson wanted to give her the handbag in her hand. But she didn't want to take the bag," claimed Gotz.
She said her assistant had worked in the Trois Pommes store "for a few years and takes care of the most spoilt customers from all over the world", adding, "she is really a correct sales person".
Winfrey, who stars in Lee Daniels' new film The Butler, visited Zurich last month to attend singer Tina Turner's wedding. Her programme The Oprah Winfrey Show is not shown in Switzerland.
Speaking to US TV show Entertainment Tonight, she said: "I go into a store and I say to the woman, 'Excuse me, may I see the bag right above your head?' and she says to me, 'No. It's too expensive.'"
When Winfrey insisted, the shop assistant allegedly replied: "No, no you don't want to see that one, you want to see this one because that one will cost too much. You will not be able to afford that."
The star said she left the shop calmly without arguing, but that the experience was proof that racism continues to be a problem.
"There's two different ways to handle it," she said.
"I could've had the whole blow-up thing... but it still exists, of course it does."
Ms Gotz did not call into question Winfrey's perception of the events.
"I didn't take care of [Winfrey]. I'm sure she felt like this - but my salesgirl promised me she took care of [her] really the best she could. So it must have been a misunderstanding," she said.
Ms Gotz said her assistant spoke both Italian and English, "but her English isn't as good".
"She tried to show Mrs Oprah the same style in other qualities, because maybe she didn't understand what she wanted."
Winfrey's claims come amid a political row over plans by some Swiss towns to ban asylum-seekers from some public places.
The BBC's Imogen Foulkes in Berne says human rights groups have likened the plans - which include banning asylum-seekers from swimming pools, playing fields and libraries - to apartheid.
Officials say the curbs, which will also see asylum-seekers housed in special centres, are aimed at preventing tensions with residents.
About 48,000 people are currently seeking asylum in Switzerland. It has twice as many asylum seekers as the European average.
Winfrey's interview is a public relations disaster for Switzerland, our correspondent says.
The Gills finished ninth last season, but are currently 17th in the table, 10 points off the play-offs, after 25 games of the campaign.
The Kent club have suffered back-to-back defeats, losing to Millwall on Friday and Oxford on Monday.
"This is obviously a difficult decision to begin 2017 with," chairman Paul Scally told the club website.
"However, the form over the past 12 months has not been as good as expected, and Monday's defeat [1-0 at home by Oxford] was the final straw."
Gillingham were challenging for promotion to the Championship in February last season, but just two wins in their final 15 league games saw them fall from second to mid-table, finishing five points behind the top six.
Their recent league form in 2016-17 has been inconsistent, with the Priestfield Stadium side winning four and losing five of their last 10 league games, which leaves them eight points above the relegation zone.
Edinburgh was appointed by Gills in February 2015 after leaving Newport County, and won 40 of his 102 games in charge.
"I have become close friends with Justin and his coaching staff, and that is what makes this decision even harder," added Scally.
"I'd like to express my gratitude to Justin for his efforts; he has tried extremely hard to turn things around."
Edinburgh's assistant David Kerslake and coach Wayne Hatswell have also been relieved of their duties.
The fourth round of strike action at hospitals in England has taken place. But there seems no prospect of any imminent return to talks.
The two sides in this acrimonious dispute, the government and the British Medical Association, seem firmly entrenched. There is a general assumption that the planned all-out strike by junior doctors at the end of April, the first in NHS history, will inevitably take place.
Disputes involving strike action are often punctuated by talks.
But, since the Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt announced in February that a new contract for junior doctors in England would be imposed from August, there has been no contact between the two sides.
Recriminations are rife. Trust has been fractured. Mr Hunt and NHS Employers are adamant that they went the extra mile to try to get a deal, offering better terms than previously put forward for doctors working one weekend in four or more.
They argue that, after months of negotiations, the BMA refused to discuss the outstanding issue of Saturday pay - and that therefore imposing a new contract was unavoidable.
The BMA says junior doctors did not have confidence in the new contract because of fears that safeguards against excessive working hours would prove ineffective.
Once the government had pressed on with imposing the contract, argues the BMA, there was no choice left but to continue with the strikes.
Union members are deeply sceptical about the ability of the government to fund its "seven day NHS" policy.
Doctors, backed by some leaders in the medical profession, have suggested the contract discriminates against women because of its treatment of part-time workers.
They have highlighted a phrase in the Department of Health's own Equality Impact Assessment: "Any indirect adverse effect on women is a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim".
Government sources argue this was the sort of legal language familiar in this sort of technical impact assessment and not evidence of a fundamental flaw.
There has been comment on the figures for the proportion of junior doctors working on strike days.
The first day of action in January saw 39% of junior doctors reporting for work, which included those covering emergencies and urgent care and who were therefore not on strike.
On Wednesday this week, the first day of this 48 hour stoppage affecting routine care, that number had increased to 46%, though it was down to 42.5% on Thursday.
Some have argued that those figures suggest a drift back to work.
The BMA points out that this week saw junior doctors changing their hospital attachments and so those affected would have felt obliged to attend induction courses. NHS England, which produces the figures, says it won't speculate on whether there is any trend or explanation.
There's pressure on both sides to get back round the table.
The Academy of Medical Royal Colleges has called on the government to drop imposition of the contract, and the BMA to cancel the next strike.
At the highest levels of the medical profession there is deep concern about the failure to resolve the dispute and the prospect of junior doctors walking out of emergency as well as routine care.
Some Royal College leaders have been meeting Jeremy Hunt in recent days. They have repeated their calls for another effort to restart talks.
I understand they have been given the message that the government will not reconsider its stance and the new contract will be introduced.
Mr Hunt wants them to know how much he feels he has been prepared to compromise already.
The junior doctors, meanwhile, are adamant that their protest action continues, including demonstrations in Jeremy Hunt and David Cameron's constituencies in the weeks ahead.
All roads lead to the unprecedented escalation of strike action on April 26th and 27th - and uncharted territory for doctors, ministers and the NHS.
The 18-year-old was struck by a Renault Megane on the A193, The Links, in Whitley Bay at about 21:45 BST on 7 May.
He was hit near the zebra crossing south from the Briar Dene Pub. Northumbria Police said he later died from his injuries.
The force said two men had been arrested and urged any witnesses to come forward with information.
King Buyelekhaya Dalindyebo reported to prison after his legal attempts to overturn his conviction failed.
The case against King Dalindyebo was related to a dispute he had with some of his subjects about two decades ago.
He comes from the Thembu clan, to which Mr Mandela, South Africa's first black president, belonged.
He is the first monarch to be jailed in South Africa since minority rule ended in 1994.
King Dalindyebo, 51, ascended to the throne in 1989, and has about 700,000 subjects.
South Africa has 10 officially recognised monarchs representing different ethnic groups and clans.
They play a largely ceremonial role, and attend to minor disputes within their communities.
King Dalindyebo was accused of kidnapping a woman and her six children, setting their home on fire and beating up four youths, one of whom died, because one of their relatives had failed to present himself before the king's traditional court.
He handed himself to prison authorities in the eastern city of Mthatha in compliance with a court order after a judge refused to extend his bail on Wednesday, the justice ministry said in a statement.
Earlier, Justice Minister Michael Masutha turned down his request for a retrial, saying there was no legal justification for doing so.
King Dalindyebo had maintained his innocence, saying he disciplined his subjects under customary law.

Many of the king's subjects feel that he has sullied the reputation of the Thembu royal household.
His father, Sabata, was a revered monarch who fought against minority rule, and campaigned for the unity of South Africa's ethnic groups.
In contrast, his son turned out to be a disgrace, and has paid the ultimate price.
More significantly, South Africa has once again demonstrated that, despite its leadership problems, it upholds the rule of law, even if it means locking up a king and alienating some of his subjects ahead of crucial local elections next year.
It is also to the monarch's credit that after exhausting all his legal options, he reported to prison rather than daring the police to come and arrest him at his palace in South Africa's Eastern Cape province.
Sentencing the king in October, the Supreme Court of Appeal said: "His behaviour was all the more deplorable because the victims of his reign of terror were the vulnerable rural poor, who were dependent upon him. Our constitution does not countenance such behaviour.
"We are a constitutional democracy in which everyone is accountable and where the most vulnerable are entitled to protection."
There are conflicting reports on whether King Dalindyebo would remain the monarch of the Thembu people.
One royal family spokesman was quoted in the South African media as saying that its elders would meet on Monday to choose a successor, while another spokesman said that he would remain the king despite his imprisonment.
King Dalindyebo defected from the governing African National Congress (ANC) to the opposition Democratic Alliance (DA) party during his legal battles.
The DA revoked his membership following the ruling of the Supreme Court of Appeal.
He was speaking at the PUP's annual conference in Antrim, which also celebrated 20 years since the loyalist ceasefire.
The inter-party talks, convened by the Secretary of State Theresa Villiers, are due to begin next Thursday.
"A loyalist voice is very, very important," Mr Hutchinson said.
"My past experience in terms of standing on lawns whenever helicopters were coming in with taoiseachs and prime ministers and all the rest of it, is that isn't helpful.
"We need to have a value and I think that people have to actually recognise that 20 years on we would never have got the talks or have the Good Friday Agreement [without loyalists].
"The only reason we did was because we had all the protagonists at the table."
On Friday, First Minister Peter Robinson said he would not attend the opening of next week's talks aimed at breaking the deadlock at Stormont.
Mr Robinson, who leads the Democratic Unionist Party, called the planned opening of the talks "a showpiece" and "a circus act for the media".
However, he said when the "real work" began the DUP would be there.
The secretary of state announced a fresh round of inter-party talks last month, just days after Mr Robinson had described the structures of devolved government in Northern Ireland as "no longer fit for purpose".
Writing in the Belfast Telegraph on 9 September, Mr Robinson said the weight of the issues to be resolved at Stormont was so great that it "must be tackled in a St Andrews 2 setting, with government involvement".
The 2006 St Andrews Agreement paved the way for the return of devolution the following year.
Sinn Féin, the second largest party in Northern Ireland's power-sharing coalition, had also called for fresh talks, and urged the British, Irish and US governments to get involved.
The Pirates beat Bedford in their opening game before salvaging a 31-31 draw at Ealing last week.
"We were very lucky to retain a lot of the same players as last year, even though the squad size has shrunk a tiny bit," Paver told BBC Radio Cornwall.
"The fact we've trained the same guys meant that we're all on the same page."
The Pirates go into Sunday's trip to Nottingham in fifth place in the fledgling league table, one point and one spot above their hosts.
"They're full of grit and full of determination and hungry to learn, to progress and to do the best they can for this club," added Paver of his side.
"Straight away I know they're a determined bunch, and I think you can't go wrong with that quality."
The judge took the decision after reserving judgement in a challenge to the publication plan.
The move stops the Department for the Economy from revealing the names of Renewable Heat Association (RHANI) of Northern Ireland members on Wednesday.
The RHANI represents owners of boilers in the non-domestic RHI scheme.
Hundreds of boiler owners were represented in the action taken by the group on Tuesday.
The number of owners in the RHANI rose from 335 to 450 between the 14:00 GMT injunction being delivered on Tuesday and the cut-off time of 17:00 GMT for the delivery of names to the Department for the Economy.
The RHI scheme was intended to increase the creation of heat from renewable sources.
However, businesses have been receiving more in subsidies than they are paying for renewable fuel and the scheme became majorly oversubscribed.
The fallout from the scandal surrounding the scheme, which is approximately £490m over budget, resulted in the collapse of Stormont's institutions and the calling of snap elections on 2 March.
The judge said it was "appropriate" to grant the injunction pending the delivery of his judgement next week on whether boiler owners could mount a full legal challenge to the publication plan.
A spreadsheet of members of the association was passed to the department at 17:00 GMT on Tuesday, but those people cannot be named.
It is not yet clear whether other claimants will be.
Earlier, a barrister for the boiler owners said revealing the names would lead to a "feeding frenzy" by the media.
There had been criticism of officials and ministers over the scheme and publishing the names could "deflect criticism" on to claimants, he said.
Most boiler owners were using the scheme legitimately and should not be subject to any sanction, he added.
A spokesperson for the Department for the Economy said: "The Minister is considering the court judgement and will reflect on options to ensure maximum transparency on the details of non-domestic RHI recipients consistent with today's ruling."
A barrister for the Department for the Economy said there was a "profound public interest" in the case, brought to light by the "diligent work" of the Northern Ireland Audit Office, the assembly's Public Accounts Committee and the media.
Transparency around the names would encourage compliance with the rules, he said.
He also revealed that an unnamed co-applicant in the case was a poultry farmer with four 99kw boilers on the more lucrative subsidy rate in the scheme.
That applicant has been granted court anonymity for the duration of the case.
A lawyer for the claimants precluded any idea that people could "burn to earn".
The heat had to be produced for a "useful purpose", he said.
Most of the firms were using it for poultry, mushroom & wood chip production, he added.
The barrister also criticised media coverage of the story.
He said it had been "sensationalist", particularly as the phrase "cash for ash" suggested that people were making money purely from burning the fuel.
He said the media had focused "almost exclusively" on alleged abuse of the scheme and not on those using it legitimately.
The court was told that the case was being taken by Michael Doran, the chairman of the Renewable Heat Association.
He is also the head of Action Renewables, a not-for-profit group which supports the renewables industry.
Mr Doran does not have a boiler and is not a recipient of the subsidy.
He was talking after a strained meeting between eurozone finance ministers and Greek government officials in the Latvian capital of Riga.
Ministers are trying to agree a deal to help Greece meet its debt repayments.
It must repay its creditors nearly €1bn (£720m) next month, and is struggling to raise the money.
Earlier this week, the government asked its public sector bodies to hand over any reserve cash to help make the payment.
Athens is also keen to secure the next tranche of funds from its main creditors - the European Union, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund - totalling €7.2bn.
"It was a very critical discussion," said Mr Dijsselbloem after the talks ended with little sign of progress.
"A comprehensive and detailed list of reforms is needed... and a comprehensive deal is necessary before any disbursement can take place.
"We are all aware that time is running out."
Similar frustrations were expressed by the European Commissioner for the euro, Valdis Dombrovskis.
"Progress in technical negotiations has not been sufficient to reach any conclusion during this Eurogroup here in Riga," he said.
Eurozone ministers are waiting for Athens to present a detailed package of economic reforms to improve the country's finances, which they have made a condition of further support.
Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis moved to calm fears that a deal may not be concluded quick enough by focusing on the positive.
"We agreed that an agreement will be difficult but it will happen and it will happen quickly because that is the only option we have," he said.
Earlier on Friday, before the Eurogroup meeting, Mr Varoufakis wrote a blog post saying Athens and its creditors "agree on much", namely that Greece's tax and pensions system, as well as its labour market, need fundamental reform. However, he said his government and its creditors did not agree on how best to implement this reform.
Greece's new left-wing government Syriza is in a difficult position - it is under intense pressure from its creditors to cut spending and raise tax revenues, but was voted in on a mandate to end the austerity measures imposed by the EU, the ECB and IMF.
Markets are concerned that if the government fails to come up with a package acceptable to its creditors, Greece may default on its debts and, ultimately, be forced to give up the euro.

More deadlines loom for Greece. Back in February the aim was to have a set of economic policies agreed with its lenders by the end of April. There's little chance of that happening.
Then there is the end of the extension to the European part of the bailout at the end of June. Of course there have been missed deadlines in his saga before and European governments could always choose to give Greece more time.
There is a limit of course. At some stage the Greek government will run out of funds to pay its bills, unless it gets more help.
And the European Central Bank (ECB) could at some stage pull the plug on emergency support for the country's banks.
But then again, ECB officials have said a government default doesn't necessarily mean the banks are bust.
So the conclusion? This cloud of uncertainty will probably hang over Greece for a long time yet.
Speaking at a lunch at Wembley to mark his 10-year anniversary as president, the Duke of Cambridge said the FA was in danger of being "left behind".
"Our governance structure is in danger of falling short of modern standards of best practice," he said.
"As the country's national sport, we ought to be leading the way."
Prince William, who took over the presidency from his uncle, the Duke of York, appeared to publicly back outgoing chairman Greg Dyke's efforts to reform the FA Council by making it more representative and diverse.
"There is a wind of change blowing through global sporting governance and we need to ensure we do not get left behind," he told guests, many of whom were FA board members.
"I know the organisation is currently reviewing this issue and there is an opportunity to seize the initiative by the way in which we reform ourselves.
"This is an emotive issue, and it is one that you all have a stake in deciding."
Trevor Hicks told an inquest jury how he moved back and forth between Sarah, 19, and her 15-year-old sister Vicki.
He also said he felt "dreadful" after choosing to ride to hospital with one of them while leaving the other behind.
Ninety-six fans were fatally injured in a crush at the 1989 Liverpool against Nottingham Forest FA Cup semi-final.
Giving evidence at the new inquests into the disaster, Mr Hicks said he stood in a different section of the Leppings Lane terraces from his daughters.
His wife Jenni had a seat in the adjoining North Stand, he said.
In a statement, Mr Hicks said he saw the "limp form of [his] youngest daughter Victoria being passed over the barrier".
Both girls were eventually laid down next to each other on the pitch, the inquests heard.
Mr Hicks described how he was helped by others as he started trying to resuscitate them, drawing on first aid training he had received as an engineer.
He moved from one daughter to the other, shouting their names and asking for help, the court heard.
"I was doing what I thought was best. I was calling for assistance," he said.
"I've also been taught that one of the last things that goes is your hearing so I was calling their names in the hope that, you know, they would know we were there."
Footage timed at about 15:35 BST - 35 minutes after the match kicked off - showed Mr Hicks with his daughters and a group of helpers at the Leppings Lane end.
He said: "If it seemed that somebody knew what they were doing and were doing a better job, I was more than happy to let them.
"It sounds a bit selfish but I wanted to get help for my girls."
Mr Hicks said neither Sarah nor Vicki showed any "signs of life" on the pitch, but everyone was working with a "positive attitude".
He added: "As far as I was concerned, they hadn't gone. I was going to do everything possible and everyone else seemed to be doing that. If they had a chance, they were going to get it."
BBC News: Profiles of all those who died
He and a police officer, Peter McGuinness, eventually carried Vicki into an ambulance.
There was only room on board for one of his daughters and Mr Hicks had to make the "very difficult decision" to travel with his youngest and leave Sarah behind.
He saw one ambulance arrive and expected more to follow.
He said: "We thought that was the first of a fleet. You know, you expect something like that when there's a major incident going on.
"I felt dreadful. I had no choice - I appreciate that - but it doesn't stop you feeling dreadful about it. I knew there was a medic with Sarah at that time."
The court has heard that there were two other casualties placed into the same ambulance, which left the stadium at about 15:39 BST.
Vicki continued to receive CPR as they travelled to the Northern General Hospital in Sheffield.
But Mr Hicks said he and PC McGuinness had put Vicki into the ambulance the "wrong way around", meaning that she could not receive oxygen while on board.
"We were all of the opinion that she had a chance," he said.
At one point he said that he and the ambulanceman on board, Tony Edwards, felt a pulse.
Medics at the hospital continued to work on Vicki for "10 or 15 minutes" but eventually formally pronounced her dead.
Mr Hicks earlier described how he had repeatedly called out to police officers after realising his daughters were in distress.
"I had obviously been seeing what was going on for some time. I was calling up to the police to do something about it," he said. "I had got a good view. It was clear that there were extreme circumstances.
"I knew roughly where they were. I was looking down - I could see that there were people in extreme distress. Clearly the attitude from the police officer was not going anywhere and so we carried on shouting up at them for a few minutes, probably."
The inquests, sitting in Warrington, Cheshire, continue.
The Vikings are top of the table having won six of their opening seven games in 2016, including ending Wigan's 21-month unbeaten home record last week.
They travel to a Warrington side on Friday who have won all six of their fixtures so far.
"It's a strong, formidable side and that's the challenge for us and that's what excites this group," said Betts.
He told BBC Radio Merseyside: "We've got people to go after, we've got markers to set and we know that our confidence is high at the moment and we fear nobody."
The start the Cheshire side have made has been in stark contrast to previous years - they finished ninth last season before the Super 8s split, but comfortably qualified for the top tier this year.
Just four years ago, Widnes finished last, with their highest-ever standing coming in 2014 when they finished eighth.
"We're getting a little bit more interest from external media and everyone is coming in here and wants to know what the secret is - there is no secret," added Betts.
"We've recruited well, we've developed people we've got here, we've worked hard not just in the performance but the administration side of things, and have taken small steps.
"We've had a great start this year but is not just about now, it's about what's going to happen next week, in a month, as we don't want to be sat here at the end of the year thinking 'If only.'"
The world number six came from a break down in the deciding set against her 25-year-old Czech opponent to win 6-2 4-6 6-3 in two hours and five minutes.
It was the 26-year-old's first final at the event in her seventh appearance.
World number five Kvitova had knocked out five-time Grand Slam winner Maria Sharapova in Saturday's semi-final.
A tearful Radwanska, the first woman to go on to lift the title after losing two round-robin group games, said: "It means everything to me, in my first final, I get my first win so it couldn't be any better.
"I was doing the right thing in the important moments of a really close match. I had my chances in the second set but it doesn't really matter how I won."
The adventurer is the co-director of a consortium behind the proposal for Llanbedrog headland, alongside "tourism-related schemes".
But people in the area said the scheme would "ruin an idyllic beach".
The planning agent for Grylls' business partner, who has submitted the plan to Gwynedd council, had "no comment" to make.
However, Grylls tweeted on Friday: "We would never do anything negative there. We bought it to protect the land. Owners simply want to discuss local beach options."
The headland - a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty - overlooks St Tudwal's island, which Mr Grylls bought for £95,000 in 2001.
The applicant on the plan is James Nichols, who along with Mr Grylls and two others are directors of the Cheshire-registered Llanbedrog Headland Company.
It has proposed building six metre (20ft)-long huts at Quarry beach, which is on one side of the headland. The National Trust owns the beach on the other side.
"We welcome tourism projects. But not on this beach," said councillor John Jones of Llanbedrog community council.
"There are already beach huts in Llanbedrog and Abersoch. We want this area to remain beautiful and untouched."
The plan adds that the proposal is at a "very early stage of formulation" and they "wish to meet with the council to understand its aspirations for the area".
In October 2015, Mr Grylls was given planning permission to construct a 39m (129ft) slipway on St Tudwal's, despite fears it would visually impact on the area.
Prior to that, he had to remove a slide that ran into the sea in 2013 after facing a planning investigation.
A Gwynedd council spokesman confirmed it had received "an application for pre-application advice regarding beach huts in the Mynydd Tir y Cwmwd, Llanbedrog area".
He added: "Planning officers will usually respond by referring to the relevant designations, relevant local and national planning policies and provide advice regarding the information that would be required if a decision was taken to submit a full planning application."
The company's planning agents, Manchester-based Peter Brett Associates, would not comment.
DARD is facing cuts along with most other Stormont departments, apart from health, following a cut in the grant Northern Ireland gets from Westminster.
Agriculture Minister Michelle O'Neill has said this will mean tough choices.
In advance of a consultation paper to be published later this week, she has set out her spending priorities.
They include funding for farmers in the most difficult areas, known in European Union terminology as Areas of Natural Constraint (ANCs).
Ms O'Neill said she was also committed to policies to tackle poverty and isolation in rural areas.
She said that as well as facing cuts, the industry needed to grow to deliver employment in agriculture and food processing.
On that basis, the minister said she would retain funding for the farm development side of the Going for Growth strategy, a joint project run by her department and the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment (DETI).
Ms O'Neill also said that rural development funding for community-based Local Action Groups would be protected, once the 2014 to 2020 rural development plan was approved by the European Commission.
She underlined that the cuts would not affect plans to decentralise many DARD functions, including the move of its headquarters to Ballykelly, County Londonderry, beginning in 2017.
Staff will apply for redundancy to a central fund across all departments.
It is believed that the scale of decentralisation within DARD will see a significant interest in the redundancy plan, particularly amongst senior staff based in Belfast.
Asked about providing services with reduced staff numbers, Mrs O'Neill said ways would have to be found to deliver more from reduced resources.
If this includes greater efficiency and fewer individual inspections as part of EU monitoring of Common Agricultural Police (CAP) spending, this will be welcomed by farmers as one positive result of the budget cuts.
The minister confirmed that all three College of Agriculture Food and Rural Enterprise (CAFRE) colleges at Greenmount, Loughry and Enniskillen would remain open, but that they would face staff cuts.
Research projects will be reassessed to focus on those likely to deliver the greatest short-term gain for the industry.
The proposals will now go out for a six-week consultation.
MBI Consulting (UK) Ltd had agreed to buy Regency mansion, Plas Glynllifon, in Llandwrog, from receivers David Currie & Co.
Fears were raised the firm could change the hall's name, which dates back to the 16th Century.
On Friday, MBI announced "with regret" it had to pull out of the deal.
"It had never been our intention to change the name of Plas Glynllifon," a spokesman for the West Yorkshire company said.
"The property's long and colourful history is a huge part of its charm and we always intended to re-open it with that same name."
The spokesman added: "The project presented a number of extreme technical challenges but ones which we were always prepared to overcome, however, the unexpected negative reaction we have encountered has led us to conclude our involvement in the development."
The name-change issue was flagged up by Gwynedd councillor Sian Gwenllian, arising from online marketing material suggesting a more English-sounding name could be used as a replacement.
David Currie, director of receivers David Currie and Co, said: "It's very disappointing, but unfortunately we have been down this road before. There are a lot of people still interested in it so we're not totally on the floor."
Mice treated with cancer drugs called nutlins recovered much more movement than those left untreated.
The Imperial College London researchers said the drugs should now be tested in rats and could be tested in human patients within 10 years.
There are currently no proven effective treatments for spinal cord injuries.
Such injuries can affect patients' ability to feel or move parts of their body below the injury.
The damage is often permanent because it is very difficult to make spinal cord nerves regrow.
The study, published in the journal Brain, used drugs which have been found to be safe in early cancer trials.
In the research on adult mice, the drugs stopped a particular series of proteins from interacting to restrict nerve growth.
Normally used to suppress tumours, in the mice with partially severed spinal cords they were able to make nerves regrow in the affected area.
This meant that 75% of the mice went from being paralysed to being able to walk on a ladder.
Mice which were not treated with the cancer drugs only made a slight recovery in their movement.
Prof Simone di Giovanni, from the department of medicine at Imperial College London, who led the study, said: "Unlike in the limbs, nerves in the spinal cord don't regenerate after an injury.
"We're only just beginning to understand the fundamental reasons for this striking difference.
"We have identified a mechanism that controls nerve regeneration, and there are already experimental drugs that target this pathway, suggesting an opportunity to translate these findings into the clinic."
He went on to say that although the results in mice were "very encouraging", they now had to be replicated in studies in rats, whose spinal cords more closely resemble those of humans.
Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said officers followed a Honda Civic driving over the speed limit on Birdhall Lane, Cheadle at about 00:45 GMT.
It crashed shortly after and a 21-year-old man was taken to hospital in a "life threatening condition".
A 30-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving.
A GMP spokeswoman said the car had "failed to stop when requested by officer and a short pursuit took place".
She added that the car's driver had "made off from the scene and was gone before police caught up with the Honda Civic".
Prosecutors said Sindisiwe Manqele was jealous of seeing him talking to an ex-lover and stabbed him through the chest after a heated row.
He died at his home in a Johannesburg township on 9 March.
Mr Habedi was a member of Skwatta Kamp who are considered the pioneers of South African hip hop.
The BBC's Milton Nkosi reports that Manqele sobbed uncontrollably when the judge read out the verdict.
She was convicted of pre-meditated murder.
Judge Solly Sithole said Manqele admitted under cross-examination that she had intentionally killed her boyfriend, even though she had pleaded not guilty to murder.
She said she had killed him in self-defence.
Skwatta Kamp, founded in 1996, had hits such as uMoya and Clap Song. | Nobody in the Panorama team had ever seen anything quite like it.

With the Department of Culture, Arts and Leisure (DCAL) set to be abolished in 2016, there is more uncertainty ahead.
The year began with the department cutting their grant to the Arts Council of Northern Ireland by 11%, or £1.38m.
As the Arts Council is, in turn, the main funding body for many arts organisations, this led to less money for a number of them.
It was the beginning of a rollercoaster year as more cuts followed, which were then reversed, although further cuts seem inevitable in the 2016 budget.
The announcement in October that 32 of Northern Ireland's biggest arts organisations faced in-year cuts of 7% in their Arts Council funding led hundreds of artists, writers, musicians and actors to stage a colourful protest at Stormont.
Politicians from a range of parties turned out in support, and a number of protestors subsequently held a brief meeting with Culture Minister Carál Ní Chuilín in the Great Hall in Parliament Buildings.
It seemed she listened to their concerns, as a month later she found the money to reverse the £620,000 in-year cut.
However, just before Christmas, DCAL officials warned a Stormont committee that arts organisations would face closure if planned 5% budget cuts in 2016 went ahead.
In October, Northern Ireland, and the world, lost one of the greatest playwrights of his generation.
Although County Tyrone-born Brian Friel was a quiet man who shunned the limelight, his death at the age of 86 led to tributes from across the globe.
Meryl Streep, who starred in the movie of his play Dancing at Lughnasa called him "a tender dramatist, an insightful humanist and a lovely man".
Liam Neeson, who began his career acting in several of Friel's plays at Belfast's Lyric Theatre, called him "Ireland's Chekhov".
His death came only months after the first cross-border festival dedicated to his work took place in Donegal and Belfast.
On the small screen, Game of Thrones, mainly filmed in Northern Ireland, cemented its status as one of the most popular and lucrative TV series in the world with a host of Emmy awards, including for local crew members, sound mixer Ronan Hill and casting executive Carla Stronge.
There was also Bafta success for Northern Irish filmmakers Brian J Falconer, Michael Lennox and Ronan Blaney, for their short film Boogaloo and Graham.
During the year, there were numerous reminders that the arts could create controversy.
In June, renowned flautist Sir James Galway, in Belfast to perform at a BBC Music Day concert, launched a stinging attack on the late Democratic Unionist Party leader Ian Paisley, telling the Nolan Show he had planted "thoughts of violence and no surrender in the heads of people who had no more sense".
Comedian Frankie Boyle's appearance at Belfast's Féile an Phobail in August led to protests from a group who claimed his jokes "mock children with disabilities".
Organisers subsequently apologised for "any hurt or offence" caused by booking him.
In November, a painting by the late Belfast artist Joseph McWilliams, which appeared to depict Orangemen wearing Ku Klux Klan clothing, went on show at the Ulster Museum.
The museum and the Royal Ulster Academy resisted calls for it to be taken down.
2015 also saw two of the most memorable concerts in Northern Ireland for many years.
Van Morrison returned to Cyprus Avenue in his native east Belfast for two unforgettable gigs in August, while in November U2 were back in the city for two concerts for the first time since 1998.
They played at the SSE Arena just a few days after attacks in Paris that saw 130 people murdered, and the band's set included a tribute to the victims.
Finally, Londonderry singer-songwriter SOAK, aka Bridie Monds-Watson, continued her rise, winning the Northern Ireland Music Prize as well as a place on the shortlist for the prestigious Mercury Prize, for the best album from the UK and Ireland.
It was a reminder that innovation and excellence in the arts survives, even in a harsh financial climate. | In the arts, 2015 has been a year dominated by worries about money. | 35,151,503 | 940 | 18 | false |
Beer drinkers filed lawsuits for $5m (£3.3m) each last week in various US states, alleging the alcohol content is less than stated on the label.
In full-page adverts being run in 10 US newspapers, the multinational drinks maker makes light of the accusation.
"They must have tested one of these," it says, showing a can of water.
The can shown is one of 71 million that Anheuser-Busch Inbev said it donated to the American Red Cross and disaster relief organisations globally.
"But in every other circumstance, the Anheuser-Busch logo is our ironclad guarantee that the beer in your hand is the best beer we know how to brew," says the advert, which appeared in the New York Times and LA Times among others on Sunday.
"We take no shortcuts and make no exceptions. Ever."
The lawsuits, which have been denounced by the company as "completely false", claim to be based on inside information.
"Our information comes from former employees at Anheuser-Busch, who have informed us that, as a matter of corporate practice, all of their products mentioned [in the lawsuit] are watered down," lead lawyer Josh Boxer said.
The complaint claimed that "Anheuser-Busch employs some of most sophisticated process control technology in the world to precisely monitor the alcohol content at the final stages of production, and then adds additional water to produce beers with significantly lower alcohol contents than is represented on the labels."
The lawsuit alleged that the practice began after the US firm Anheuser-Busch merged with the Belgian-Brazilian Inbev in 2008 to form the world's largest alcohol producer.
"Following the merger, [Anheuser-Busch] vigorously accelerated the deceptive practices, sacrificing the quality products once produced by Anheuser-Busch in order to reduce costs," the lawsuit said.
Mr Boxer said that the company would be called on in court to disclose its own internal testing data from its factories.
"These alcohol readings, taken six times a second as the finished product is bottled, will confirm the allegations made by the growing number of former employees who keep coming forward to tell us the truth," he said.
Peter Kraemer, vice-president of brewing and supply at Anheuser-Busch, said in a statement, "We proudly adhere to the highest standards in brewing our beer."
The off-duty police officer from South Wales Police was hit by the X11 bus on The Kingsway shortly before 11:25 BST on Tuesday.
The 41-year-old mother-of-three was airlifted to the city's Morriston Hospital where she later died.
Her eight-year-old daughter suffered minor injuries in the incident.
Sgt Lucas was based at Llanishen police station in Cardiff where she ran neighbourhood policing teams.
Warm tributes have been paid to the popular officer.
Steve Trigg, chair of the South Wales Police Federation who had known her for a number of years, said: "She was really well respected.
"It is just a huge loss to her family, her friends and to South Wales Police."
"Our thoughts are with all her family and friends at this difficult time."
Earlier on Tuesday, a spokeman for First Cymru Bus said: "The exact cause of the incident is not yet known, but this will be fully investigated. Our team is currently working with the police to establish exactly what happened."
A business owner, based near the scene, said the current road system was "confusing" with a two-way carriageway one side and a one-way carriageway the other.
Swansea council dropped the speed limit to 20mph last year as an initial response to calls for improved safety.
More than 2,200 people signed a petition calling for changes, including a return to a traditional two-way system on The Kingsway.
There have been a number of accidents on the road over the last few years and in September 2013, Daniel Foss, 37, from Reynoldston, Gower, died after being struck by a National Express bus.
South Wales Police is continuing to investigate and witnesses are asked to call 101.
Ontario Police Provincial charged Elizabeth Wettlauffer with four counts of attempted murder and two counts of aggravated assault.
Ms Wettlauffer already faces first-degree murder charges for patients under her care in two southwestern Ontario nursing homes.
The new offences alleged took place between 2007 and 2016.
Police say the latest charges involve four residents of Caressant Care in the town of Woodstock, one resident of Telfer Place in nearby Paris, and one resident who lived in a private residence in Oxford County, Ontario.
Four of the six victims have since died, though police did not link Ms Wettlauffer to their deaths.
In a statement, Revera Living, which owns Telfer Place, said the case had been "disturbing and heart-breaking" but that the elderly resident involved in the alleged September 2015 assault "is doing well".
A Caressant Care Woodstock representative said the care home continues to co-operate fully with the police investigation.
Last fall, the former nurse was charged by police in the deaths of seniors between 75 and 96 years old.
Police said seven of the victims were given a fatal dose of a drug.
The victims were five women and three men and were all residents of Caressant Care and Meadow Park in London, Ontario.
Sandra Zisckind, a lawyer representing two of the victims' families, said on Friday that they plan to file a civil lawsuit against the care homes involved.
The 49-year-old made her first in-person court appearance in Woodstock, Ontario on Friday to answer the new charges.
Ms Wettlauffer registered as a nurse in June 1995 but resigned on 30 September 2016, shortly before police announced the charges against her.
Police identified the murder victims as:
The European Court of Justice said that the Safe Harbour agreement did not eliminate the need for local privacy watchdogs to check US firms were taking adequate data protection measures.
It added that the ruling meant Ireland's regulator now needed to decide whether Facebook's EU-to-US transfers should be suspended.
The pact has existed for 15 years.
Facebook has denied any wrongdoing.
"This case is not about Facebook," said a spokeswoman.
"What is at issue is one of the mechanisms that European law provides to enable essential transatlantic data flows.
"We will of course respond fully to any enquiries by our regulator the Irish Data Protection Commission as they look at how personal data is being protected in the US.
"The outcome... will have significant implications for all Irish companies who transfer data across the Atlantic."
The ruling was the result of a legal challenge by an Austrian privacy campaigner concerned that the social network might be sharing Europeans' personal data with US cyberspies.
"I very much welcome the judgement of the court, which will hopefully be a milestone when it comes to online privacy," said Max Schrems on learning of the judgement.
"It clarifies that mass surveillance violates our fundamental rights."
But others warned it could have far-reaching consequences.
"Thousands of US businesses rely on the Safe Harbour as a means of moving information to the US from Europe," said Richard Cumbley from the law firm Linklaters.
"Without Safe Harbour, they will be scrambling to put replacement measures in place."
The European Commission said it would issue "clear guidance" in the coming weeks to prevent local data authorities issuing conflicting rulings.
The term refers to an agreement struck by the EU and US, that came into effect in 2000.
It was designed to provide a "streamlined and cost-effective" way for US firms to get data from Europe without breaking its rules.
The EU forbids personal data from being transferred to and processed in parts of the world that do not provide "adequate" privacy protections.
So, to make it easier for US firms - including the tech giants - to function, Safe Harbour was introduced to let them self-certify that they are carrying out the required steps.
More than 5,000 US companies make use of the arrangement to facilitate data transfers.
In 2013, whistleblower Edward Snowden leaked details about a surveillance scheme operated by the NSA called Prism.
It was alleged the agency had gained access to data about Europeans and other foreign citizens stored by the US tech giants.
Privacy campaigner Max Schrems asked the Irish Data Protection Commission to audit what material Facebook might be passing on.
However, the watchdog declined saying the transfers were covered by Safe Harbour.
When Mr Schrems contested the decision, the matter was referred to the European Court of Justice.
The case reflected a clash between two cultures: in the EU, data privacy is treated as a fundamental right; in the US, other concerns are sometimes given priority.
Personal data should no longer be transferred to US bodies solely on the basis they are Safe Harbour-certified.
Instead to authorise the "export" of the data, the two bodies involved must draw up and sign what's referred to as "model contract clauses", which set out the US organisation's privacy obligations.
"It will involve lots of contracts between lots of parties and it's going to be a bit of a nightmare administratively," commented Nicola Fulford, head of data protection at the UK law firm Kemp Little.
"The model clauses themselves are standard form - what you need to put into them are details of the data involved and the security steps being taken.
"It's not that we're going to be negotiating them individually, as the legal terms are mostly fixed, but it does mean a lot more paperwork and they have legal implications."
All of this will drive up costs and potentially cause delays.
It depends on who you speak to.
The big-name firms are being guarded about what they say.
Sources at one firm suggest it believes it already has all the necessary contracts drawn up and processes in place to avoid any disruption.
But an insider at another company suggests that it may have to alter or stop some of its data transfers across the Atlantic.
What everyone agrees on, however, is that the ruling will have wider impact.
"It's not just about companies whose core activities is data processing - i.e. the Facebooks of the world - it's the companies who don't have data processing capabilities of their own and transfer personal data abroad to get it done," explains Allie Renison from the UK's Institute of Directors.
"So, if you're a company that sends payroll data for administrative purposes across to the US, that becomes an issue.
"Likewise, it affects you if you're a firm trying to send over data about your customers for a marketing campaign."
Yes - but few expected the court to rule on the matter so quickly.
Having said that, while some data privacy regulators - including the UK and Ireland's - said they were satisfied with Safe Harbour's stamp of approval, Germany's watchdogs raised concerns years ago.
As far back as 2010, they told local firms they were still obliged to check whether Safe Harbour-certified organisations were actually taking adequate measures, and suggested they draw up model contract clauses to avoid any doubt.
Potentially, yes.
If people challenge whether adequate steps to protect their data are being taken, the regulators may now need to intervene.
Max Schrems certainly intends to try again to make the Irish Data Protection Commissioner look into Facebook.
It should, however, be stressed that the social network strongly denies providing "backdoor" access to the US intelligence agencies.
Yes - but that's not as simple as it sounds.
The US and EU have in fact been negotiating to update the Safe Harbour pact for nearly two years, and won't say when they hope to conclude a deal.
Following Snowden's leaks, the EU sought to limit the circumstances under which the US authorities could access transferred data, and threatened to veto any future trade agreements if a new deal was not stuck.
But despite repeated reports that an agreement was close, the two sides have failed to agree terms.
To further complicate matters, they recently agreed in principle a separate data-sharing deal called the Umbrella Agreement, which governs how their law enforcement agencies share data.
But the EU has said it would only finalise the pact if Europeans are given the right to sue US companies in American courts for misusing their data.
The US seemed set to agree, but now its politicians may retaliate against the ECJ's ruling by refusing to grant the privilege.
International archer Lucy O'Sullivan is a doubt because of the cost of travel and other competitions.
Zane Duquemin, who holds the Games discus and shot put records, is unsure of his schedule, while tennis player Scott Clayton is "unlikely" to go.
"There's a time when other things take priority," he said.
"The Island Games is over the summer period, which is a very busy period for tennis, so next year it's more unlikely than likely I'll be going.
"I'm not going to rule it out straight away because it's a long year ahead and anything can happen, but there's going to be other tournaments around that period that I'll be hoping to play."
Table-tennis player Josh Band has told the BBC he is keen to go, if selected, but admits he is another doubt because of funding problems.
The Games, which feature more than 20 islands competing in over a dozen sports, are staged every two years.
The International Island Games Association expects the Gotland event to be of a similar size to Jersey 2015.
However, Jersey's squad may have a different feel to it than recent years with younger competitors given a chance to shine.
The Jersey Football Association has confirmed it plans to take squads to Gotland, but has previously suggested the men's line-up could be younger than normal.
Despite the potential string of notable absentees, Jersey officials still expect to send a team of more than 300 competitors to Gotland.
"It's going to be a big squad," Island Games Association of Jersey chairman Steve Jacobs told BBC Radio Jersey.
"Every two years the squad is going to be fairly cyclic, I'm glad to see a lot of those people in sports move up, a lot of them are Commonwealth Games people.
"With the team numbers I'm getting at the moment, everyone's got a full squad. If it's going to be a young squad, I'm sure they'll do well."
Many athletes have to fund their own travel and accommodation, expected to total over £1,000 per competitor for Gotland 2017.
"I'd absolutely love to go to the Gotland Games, because archery isn't in the Games after, however I think it's going to be a little bit pricey this one," said O'Sullivan, who won archery gold in 2011 and 2015, and will make a final decision by the end of the year.
"If there's a World Cup and I'm invited then I've got to do that instead because that improves my world ranking."
While the cost and other priorities means O'Sullivan may not be there next summer, Jersey's women's football team have already been fundraising to help them finance the trip.
"Being a team sport, our price compared to an individual competitor is 18 times," said midfielder Libby Barnett.
"Our fundraising efforts are going to be on a much larger scale, we'll be doing lots of carwashes and cake sales but ideally what we need is a big corporate sponsor.
"We'll be going out all guns blazing in Gotland, looking to retain our gold medal and come back with those medals proudly around our necks."

We will complete the review of the functions of Healthcare Inspectorate Wales (HIW) and Care and Social Services Inspectorate Wales to support integration.
HIW is not fit for purpose and does not carry the confidence of the medical profession, so we welcome the pledge to carry forward the review with a review to reforming it.

It is difficult to disagree with the health pledges outlined in this document, however, we are disappointed with the level of detail contained in many of the proposals. For instance, "we will provide more opportunities to keep fit and active" is something we would clearly welcome, but without a concrete proposal on how this would be done it is very difficult to scrutinise

But this is being billed as the moment when Chinese film finally takes on the world.
The Great Wall is one of the most lavish and expensive films ever shot in China.
Directed by the living-great of Chinese cinema, Zhang Yimou, it makes use of vast theatrical sets, elaborate costumes as well as great Chinese cultural icons like, er, Matt Damon.
Matt Damon?
The US superstar's leading role in the swashbuckling Chinese showcase has already been the subject of much controversy.
"Well, 'whitewashing' you've got to define," he tells me.
"Whitewashing for me was always like Chuck Connors playing Geronimo, so I don't know if that would even be the right term to accuse us of."
The accusation that a Caucasian male star has somehow been shoehorned into the piece to give the film a more direct appeal to American and European audiences is something that also rankles with Zhang Yimou.
"Matt Damon plays a foreign mercenary who comes to China to steal gun powder," Mr Zhang tells me.
"Of course he is a foreigner. For the director, we never consider the race question first. We always think about the story first. If the story flows, if the story is good."
Mr Damon joins the massed ranks of the Chinese army on top of perhaps the greatest cultural icon of them all, the Great Wall, built not to keep out men, according to the fantastical plot, but monsters.
The budget of at least $100m (£80m) underwrites a US-China collaboration of a kind that is becoming increasingly common nowadays.
And such collaborations align neatly with one of the political priorities of the Chinese government: to expand its international cultural influence.
As Hollywood comes to China in desperate search of new, lucrative audiences, China is desperate to harness something of the elusive magic.
If it can build its own film industry, the argument goes, it can use it to develop its so-called "soft power", in the same way US movies have carried American values and norms around the world for a century or more.
And that appears, on some level at least, to be what The Great Wall is trying to do.
It can appeal to Chinese and international audiences alike, hence the internationalised plot line, allowing the incorporation of a Hollywood star.
And it carries a central message about time-honoured Chinese ingenuity (the gunpowder), as well as lasting cultural power (the Great Wall).
Matt Damon though is having none of it.
"No, I didn't for a second think this film was a propaganda tool," he says.
"I think our world is a much better place when we're talking to each other and collaborating and making art together."
For Zhang Yimou, the experience of working on such a giant US-Chinese co-production has, he says, opened his eyes.
Not to the political sensitivities of communist China, of which he is already well aware of course, but of the restrictions that commercial pressures bring to bear.
"This time I discovered that Hollywood has lots of restrictions too," he says.
"It is a system based on producers and companies... As far as creativity is concerned, I think there is not 100% freedom for any directors around the world. The job of a director is to do his best under limited circumstances."
Whatever the truth in that, it is surely the case that American films have been such powerful vehicles for the transportation of American values for the simple reason that those values have universal appeal.
So is the first all made-in-China blockbuster finally about to be released?
Zhang Yimou thinks the time has come.
"The world is following Hollywood. Everyone else is absent," he tells me.
"This is not normal."
An interior ministry spokesman also named a suicide bomber who killed four security officers near a mosque in the sacred city of Medina as Naer Muslim Hamad, a 26-year-old Saudi man.
The ministry said he had a history of drug abuse.
Three people who allegedly carried out attacks in Qatif were also named. Their nationalities are not clear.
Their names were given as Abdulrahman al-Omar (23), Ibrahim al-Omar (20) and Abdulkarim al-Husni (20). The ministry said none of them had Saudi IDs.
The attacks in Qatif took place on the same day and were also suicide bombings.
A man died in Jeddah on Monday when attempting to detonate a bomb.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attacks yet but they are suspected to have been the work of people with allegiances to so-called Islamic State.
Elliott Management, which oversees about $30bn (£23.5bn) worth of assets, has earned a reputation over 40 years as a no-holds-barred activist investor, with an unusually large appetite for public face-offs.
The firm famously pursued Argentine debt for more than a decade, seizing one of the country's naval ships while it was docked in Ghana and prompting the country to default. In the UK, it also intervened in coach operator National Express and fought supermarket Tesco for damages stemming from a 2014 accounting scandal.
In recent weeks the firm has been making headlines again.
A dispute with the head of aluminium parts maker Arconic led to the ousting of Arconic chief executive Klaus Kleinfeld.
In addition, Elliott has called for overhaul at Australian mining giant BHP Billiton, put pressure on Samsung to restructure, and pushed for the hostile takeover of Dulux paint owner AkzoNobel.
"They're renowned for being very involved and active," says Josh Black, editor-in-chief of Activist Insight, which tracks shareholder activism. "Just by virtue of their size… they're able to cope with more public situations at any one time."
Founded in 1977 by Paul Singer, Elliott launched with $1.3m.
Singer, a New Jersey native who trained at Harvard Law School, described it at the time as a "tiny, little friends-and-family" firm.
Assets under management have risen sharply since, to about $19bn in 2012 and $30bn today. Its investor include very wealthy private individuals, sovereign wealth funds, foundations and pension funds.
The hedge fund, which has had a base in London since 1994 as Elliott Advisors, has said it's only lost money twice - in 1998 and 2008.
The firm's success has vaulted Singer into the ranks of the mega rich, with a net worth that Forbes estimates at $2.7bn. The 72-year-old Wall Street titan has also reportedly jammed with rocker Meat Loaf.
A supporter of gay rights and Jewish charities, Singer has also attracted attention for his politics.
He's put millions into Republican causes, backing the failed presidential campaigns of Mitt Romney, Marco Rubio and Rudy Giuliani.
Last year, he said Donald Trump's anti-trade policies would lead to a global depression, but he opposed new financial rules introduced under former President Barack Obama and is likely to support some of the changes contemplated by the new regime.
His firm's investment strategies range widely, from buying distressed debt, to intervening during mergers. It often targets companies where it believes the stock is undervalued, pushing for leadership changes, spin-offs, or share buybacks, which boost share values for existing stockholders.
Critics compare the firm to a vulture capitalist, with a focus on short-term wins in its own interest. In 2014, French regulators fined Elliott for insider trading.
Politicians worried about jobs in their districts are among those pushing back on some of the firm's recent efforts.
Singer has rejected those characterisations.
"I believe in a balance of power," he said at a conference last year. "There's a whole industry of people to protect corporations, an industry devoted to saying that long-termism is a valuable, moral thing and short-termism is bad.
"There are activist strategies that are destructive and harmful... but we think the things that we have done have added to stakeholder value."
More shareholders are starting to agree, spurring a rise in activist petitions in recent years, says Josh Black of Activist Insight, which identified 260 companies subjected to activist demands in the first three months of this year.
While that is down compared with the same period last year - when Black says rocky markets may have created more opportunities - the firms involved have tended to be bigger and increasingly located outside the US, according to Activist Insight.
Elliott itself has made demands on dozens of companies in recent years, turning its attention beyond the technology firms that were once its primary focus. The firm has also branched out its partnerships, working with a private equity firm in at least one instance and taking a large stake in Bentham Ventures, a firm focused on shareholder lawsuits.
"That's all quite new," Black says.
Singer, who predicted the 2008 financial crash and warned of risks in the global market last year, doesn't limit his calls for new leadership to business either.
At the Aspen Ideas Festival in Colorado last summer, when asked whom he planned to vote for in the presidential election, he dismissed Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton in favour of someone closer to home.
Half-joking, he said: "I was actually thinking of writing in myself."
The Christian owners of the company are appealing the ruling that they unlawfully discriminated against gay rights' activist Gareth Lee.
Two years ago, Mr Lee was refused a cake with the slogan, "Support Gay Marriage".
Last year, a judge ruled he had been unlawfully discriminated against on the grounds of sexual orientation and religious or political beliefs.
Lord Chief Justice Sir Declan Morgan said the judgement would be given as soon as possible.
The former nanny had been accused of killing one-year-old Rehma Sabir while the child was in her care in 2013.
The prosecution was dropped after a Massachusetts state medical examiner reversed a finding that the death was murder caused by shaken baby syndrome.
Ms Brady McCarthy's deportation was fast-tracked by the US authorities.
The 37-year-old is originally from County Cavan but had been living illegally in the US for 13 years.
Hours after the prosecution was halted, she flew from Boston to Shannon Airport in County Clare and arrived shortly after 06:00 local time on Wednesday.
Irish broadcaster RTÉ reported that she travelled on the flight with her sister and that the pair were accompanied through the arrivals hall by Shannon Airport police.
Ms Brady McCarthy declined to make any comment to waiting media.
Dirksen, 25, follows Sam Davies, Justin Tipuric, Dan Baker and Dan Lydiate in committing his future to the region.
The South-African born wing made his debut in November 2009 and has scored 32 tries for Ospreys in 105 appearances.
"If you're in Wales, the Ospreys are the team to play for," said Dirksen.
"It didn't take much thinking about to be honest, when the offer came I knew what I wanted to do. I've been in Swansea for seven years now and it's my home, I have a wife and child born here, so why would I want to go anywhere else."
The match - a 19:45 GMT kick-off - and draw will both be live on BBC One.
Five of the Premier League's top six teams are left in the competition, after Arsenal beat non-league Lincoln City and Tottenham ousted Millwall.

It indicates average day school fees are now £13,194 per year and boarding fees cost an average of £30,369.
Private schooling from primary age to A-levels totals £286,000 for a day place and £468,000 for a boarder, the report from Killik and Co finds.
London remains the most expensive region, with an average day school place costing £15,500 per year.
The north of England and Scotland were the cheapest, at £10,400 and £10,700 respectively.
In a survey of 250 parents who privately educate their children, over a third (37.2%) said they saw private education as an "investment priority".
Of those surveyed, 34% said the attraction of smaller class sizes was a major consideration.
Almost a quarter said they sent their children to private school for "the connections my children will get" (24.8%).
Another main reason was that "either myself or a member of my family went there" (18%).
Sarah Lord, managing director of Killik financial planners, said: "The cost of private education is eye-watering for many families. However, over a third of parents responded that investment in education is one of the best investments they can make.
"Of course, private education is not going to be viable for everybody. For some, it will make much more sense to opt for a good state school and invest the money elsewhere.
"Indeed, 14 years of day school fees from 2015 could be invested over this time to build a potential sum of around £800,000, which would help children later on in life, whether that be funding university, buying a house, or securing a comfortable retirement."
The 37-year-old striker from Esher has already pleaded guilty to possessing cocaine at Guildford Crown Court.
He faced charges after an incident in which he was reportedly Tasered by police responding to reports of a break-in at his home in Claremont Lane.
Judge Stephen Climie told him a custodial sentence would be justified.
Adjourning sentencing until 12 February, the judge told Bent: "I expect the Probation Service to prepare a report on you which you are required to attend for interview to discuss in greater detail the background to what on paper is a disturbing set of events, which I'm sure you appreciate.
"On the face of it a custodial sentence is justified.
"Whether that is the right sentence in the context of this case is not a matter I will prejudge."
Bent had denied two other charges of possessing bladed articles, namely a meat cleaver and a kitchen knife, which will be left on file.
He had previously denied affray but changed his plea on Wednesday.
The ex-England Under-21 international played 574 games and scored 113 goals during his professional career.
He played for 14 different clubs including Wigan Athletic, Charlton Athletic, Everton and Leicester City.
Bent also played as a striker for Sheffield United, Blackburn Rovers, Ipswich Town and Birmingham City.
He was released on unconditional bail.
AB InBev, the owner of Budweiser, agreed last year to buy SAB Miller, the FTSE 100 beermaker that counts Peroni and Grolsch among a stable of brands that spans the world. It agreed to pay investors with shares of the new combined company - and gave them a less valuable alternative of taking cash and shares.
The cash element was in sterling. Since the Brexit vote, the pound has fallen about 10% against other big currencies, leaving shareholders demanding more. On Tuesday AB InBev delivered, increasing its offer by £1 a share to £45 a share - an increase that will in aggregate cost it about £2bn more. It said that its offer was final, preventing it from making another increase.
That was still not enough for some. Aberdeen Asset Management, a top-10 shareholder in SABMiller, said the offer "remained unacceptable".
SAB directors now face a turbulent few days as they decide whether to recommend the final AB InBev offer. Later this week the final, and arguably most important, remaining regulatory clearance is expected when China's competition authority, Mofcom, rules on the takeover.
If the Chinese give the go-ahead, the SAB board is expected to meet this weekend. If they reject the offer, they face the unenviable task of placating all those shareholders who have already agreed to back it, including the two big investors - Altria, the American tobacco giant that owns Marlboro cigarettes, and Colombia's Santo Domingo family. Together the two own nearly 40% of SAB.
There is also the unenviable task of withdrawing from giant disposals that have been agreed to get the deal past other competition regulators. In Europe, for example, Asahi of Japan has agreed to buy Peroni and Grolsch.
If the SAB board accepts, they risk alienating institutional investors such as Aberdeen Asset Management ahead of possible shareholder votes to approve or reject the deal.
On top of that, there is still a risk that a British court could upset their plans.
SAB told the stock market last year that because there were two different offers - shares or cash and shares - it would have to ask a judge whether the structure of the deal had in effect created two different classes of shareholder.
If the judge decides it has, there would be two shareholder votes, increasing the chances that the deal could be blocked.
Mark Williams, 41, from Oxfordshire, was killed when a telehandler machine toppled at a shopping centre development in Newbury in July 2011.
A trial at Reading Crown Court heard he had to make too many short turns with the machine in a crowded area.
Mr Williams' family said he had complained about working conditions.
Costain was found guilty of failure to ensure the health, safety and welfare of a worker.
The Maidenhead-based company was fined £525,000 having also been found guilty of exposing another employee to a risk of harm and of failing to carry out proper risk assessments.
Passing sentence Judge Angela Morris said Costain fell short of its obligations and that lessons had not been learnt from two previous incidents involving lifting equipment.
Mr Williams, from Nuneham Courtenay in Oxfordshire, had been using the telehandler to lift tiles at the Parkway Shopping Centre development when he was killed.
During the trial in March, Reading Crown Court heard Mr Williams had complained about a small, crowded working area the day before.
Mr Williams' family said they would pursue a claim for compensation against the company after the six-week appeal period lapses.
In a statement delivered after the verdict, the family said they had mixed feelings about the result, adding that he was "let down" by Costain and [contractor] Attleys Roofing.
"The day before he died, he told Costain in a meeting that 'someone was going to get killed'.
"Sadly for us, someone did get killed - him," it said.
Tareena Shakil said she was unaware of the true nature of IS and her travelling to Syria was "not about fighting or killing anybody".
Ms Shakil told her family in 2014 she was going on holiday to Turkey but instead travelled to the city of Raqqa.
The 26-year-old from Birmingham denies joining IS and encouraging terrorism.
The jury at Birmingham Crown Court heard Ms Shakil told her family she was going on a beach holiday with her child in October 2014 but instead arrived in the city of Raqqa, the capital of so-called Islamic State.
Giving evidence, Ms Shakil said she had sought a pure Muslim life after suffering at the hands of a violent partner who had left her to live in Lebanon earlier that year.
After arriving in Turkey she said she flew from her resort to Gaziantep on the Syrian border. There, she claimed, a contact she met online arranged for her to be driven by cab to an apartment block - littered with abandoned pushchairs and suitcases - which was full of women of different nationalities.
The following day the women were driven to a farmhouse near Jarabalus where they joined even more women, the court heard.
Ms Shakil said after four days she arrived in Raqqa, where she was housed in a walled "mansion", but soon after "wanted to come back to England".
The court was told before she left the UK she had talked on Facebook to a man named Fabio Pocas, whose online profile showed an armed man posing with the black flag of IS.
He warned her of the perils of "living in the land of non-believers", telling her she could not live in a country not ruled by Sharia because it was forbidden.
She said: "He told me 'You cannot live in a state that is not under Sharia'.
"He said 'Look sister, by staying in England, you're hanging over the gates of hell. If you die that's where you're going'.
"The impact on me was fear - any Muslim would want to save themselves from hell, it's just how you go about it."
Ms Shakil said she had no knowledge of the nature of the terror organisation before she left the UK in 2014, returning in February 2015.
Admitting she had retweeted images of the black flag of IS, she said she had no idea they were associated with the group, thinking they bore the Shahada - the Islamic declaration of faith.
Ms Shakil, originally from Burton upon Trent in Staffordshire, said a tweet to a jihadi widow in Syria in September 2014 which said "Wish I was there", was just a reference to living in the self-declared caliphate.
"I knew where she was, Islamic State, but at that time I didn't know about Islamic State," she added.
The trial continues.
A detective constable involved in the case said at no stage did the police receive any input from the security services.
Londonderry Crown Court heard the officer was out of his "comfort zone".
Eamon Bradley, 28, a Muslim convert originally from Melmore Gardens in Creggan, denies all the charges.
He faces six charges, including attending a rebel training camp in Syria and receiving training in guns and grenades.
Mr Bradley was arrested on his return to Derry in November 2014.
The court heard the detective constable knew virtually nothing about Jaysh al-Islam- the rebel group the accused allegedly trained with in Syria - before the defendant came to their attention.
He said officers had to work through open source research, which, he told the court, meant using the internet to research information about the case.
"We had to move on and do the best we could," he added.
Earlier, a forensics expert told the sixth day of the trial that weapons Mr Bradley was pictured with in Syria were probably authentic.
However, Jonathan Greer said it was impossible to confirm if they had been deactivated "without examining them".
The jury was again shown a photograph of Mr Bradley sitting behind a tripod of assault rifles.
Mr Greer said the photograph showed two AKM assault rifles, which had the capacity of firing 600 rounds a minute, and an AK-47.
The forensics expert said that from looking at the photograph, which police had told him was taken while Mr Bradley was at a Syrian training camp, he believed the weapons were authentic assault rifles.
However, he agreed with the defence barrister that many such weapons had found there way into "bric-a-brac stores" in the UK for sale, once they had been decommissioned.
He also agreed that holiday snapshots of tourists dressed up in combat gear and holding a weapon had become popular in many countries.
His trial continues.
But a long-standing arrangement between the Republic of Ireland and the UK means the Irish will.
They'll join British citizens at the polls on 23 June - so long as they're UK residents and have registered to vote.
It's a reciprocal relationship - British citizens can vote in Ireland when they hold national elections.
Other EU nationals, who have come to live in Great Britain, won't get to vote. But EU citizens from Commonwealth countries - such as Malta and Cyprus - can vote if they live in the UK.
The big question is whether the UK should stay in, or leave the EU - and it's a hotly contested issue.
Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny made the trip to London on May 30 to encourage Irish people living there to get involved with the referendum.
He said that a "substantial number of Irish people" make up the British electorate and he urged them to have their say by registering to vote by 7 June.
"Our wish in Ireland is that Britain would stay as a strong member of the European Union - as a central member - for the time to come," said Mr Kenny.
In Northern Ireland, the DUP and TUV have been campaigning for Brexit and argue that the UK would be better off going it alone.
Sammy Wilson, DUP, told BBC NI's The View programme on Thursday: "If you look at the countries which are in recession at the moment, they are the countries which are most closely tied into the EU and especially into the eurozone.
"If you look at the countries where young people don't have a chance for the future - 50% youth unemployment in Spain, Italy, the economy of Greece in ruins."
Biologists recorded the movement of hungry mosquitoes inside a wind tunnel.
The insects were instantly attracted to a plume of CO2, much like a human breath; after sniffing this gas they would also home in on a black spot.
Finally, over much shorter distances, the mosquitoes were also drawn towards warmth.
The findings, published in the journal Current Biology, build on previous evidence that smell is crucial for mosquitoes to pinpoint their next meal.
Body odour, for example, may play a role in how they choose one victim over another.
But mosquitoes are particularly good at sniffing out CO2, which is highly concentrated in the breath of the animals whose blood they feed on - like humans. Mosquitoes can home in on stale, exhaled air from up to 50m away.
It was also known that heat and vision could be important for attracting the blood suckers, but the new study is the first to unpick the distinct role of all three cues.
"We were able to put together a working theory for how all these senses work together in the mosquito, to find a human," said first author Floris van Breugel, from the California Institute of Technology.
The key to the experiments was separating the different stimuli: smell, vision and heat. These were represented by a plume of CO2, a black spot on the floor of the wind tunnel, and a heated glass plate that was otherwise invisible.
"We were able to see how the mosquitoes' reactions to each of those three stimuli interacted," Dr van Breugel told the BBC.
For example, if the insects were presented with a black spot in an otherwise empty wind tunnel, they left it alone. But if the CO2 plume was there as well, they would sniff it out and then head for the visual stimulus.
"They only pay attention to visual features after they detect an odour that indicates the presence of a host nearby," said Dr Michael Dickinson, the study's senior author.
"This helps ensure that they don't waste their time investigating false targets like rocks and vegetation."
All together, the team developed a three-stage picture of the mosquitoes' hunting strategy:
From the perspective of the mozzies' human victims, this three-pronged approach is "annoyingly robust", Dr van Breugel said.
"The unfortunate conclusion is that it's very difficult to escape mosquitoes.
"If you were able to capture all the CO2 that you were breathing out, then it'd be less likely that a mosquito would find you. But then if you were in a group of people, and somebody else wasn't taking those precautions, then a mosquito would follow their CO2 plume. And it may end up finding you before it finds your friend.
"So you'd want to be visually camouflaged [as well]. The more of those sensory cues that you disrupt, the less likely they are to find you and bite you."
The best tactic, he added, might be to create a distraction.
"You could also take your friend and convince them to wear a high-contrast shirt."

The 25-year-old was off-duty when he was hit by a car outside the army barracks and then hacked to death.
His is one of 11 names on a plaque at St George's Chapel, near the barracks, to honour service personnel and civilians local to Greenwich.
Fusilier Rigby's mother Lyn, his widow Rebecca and son Jack were among those at a private unveiling earlier.
The chapel is about 700m (765yds) from where Lee Rigby was murdered in south-east London in May 2013.
The Royal Borough of Greenwich council said the memorial had been an "emotive issue" and to reach this point it had needed to consider competing interests about how Fusilier Rigby, who was from Middleton, Greater Manchester, should be commemorated.
"It has been widely and wrongly reported that we were concerned about right wing extremists or Islamist extremists attacking the site," a spokesman added.
The Met has not commented on whether it has security concerns about the memorial.
In a statement the Ministry of Defence said it supported Greenwich council's marking of Armistice Day with a new memorial dedicated to service men and women who lived or worked in the borough and lost their lives while serving their country.
"It is right that we pay tribute to those courageous individuals who have worked to keep Britain safe, both at home and abroad."
Fusilier Rigby joined the Army in 2006 and was posted to the Second Battalion, The Royal Regiment of Fusiliers based in Woolwich. He served in Cyprus, Afghanistan and Germany.
Two men, Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale were jailed last year for his murder.
Those listed on the plaque died in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Woolwich as a result of conflict post-September 1945.
The names surround a marble memorial featuring the borough's crest and the words: "At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them".
Also included are:
An online book of remembrance can be viewed here. There is also one at the town hall in Woolwich.
The chapel, which is owned by the Heritage of London Trust, will be open to the public every Sunday from January when renovation works have finished.
About 4,000 men from the 38th (Welsh) Division were killed or injured at Mametz Wood during the battle of the Somme.
Welsh artist Christopher Williams travelled to the western front a few months after the battle in July 1916.
The National Museum Wales show opens on Saturday.
War's Hell brings together art, poetry and writing by those who witnessed the battle first hand, as well as others who responded to it.
Senior curator Beth McIntyre said the exhibition was about "the human response to that battle".
She called Williams's work, The Welsh Division at Mametz Wood, "a very dramatic painting".
"The figures are nearly life-size. It's very gory, he doesn't hold back," she said.
"He wanted to show the terrors of war, and I think that really comes out in the painting.
"It was hung in Downing Street. It would be wonderful to know the reaction of some of the people who visited it."
Williams was born in Maesteg in January 1873, the son of a grocer.
He was making his living as a portrait artist when he was commissioned to commemorate Mametz Wood by the Secretary of State for War David Lloyd George.
He had already notable commissions, including painting the Investiture of Edward, Prince of Wales - the future Edward VIII - at Caernarfon Castle in 1911.
Lloyd George was something of a patron and Williams painted three different portraits of the former prime minister, as well as the Welsh statesman's father.
VISITING THE SOMME
Work on his wartime commission would lead to Williams visiting the Somme in November 1916 - four months after the battle.
He was seasick during a storm on his Channel crossing, then took the train to Amiens before being driven with official war artist Muirhead Bone to the battle site.
In one of his letters to his wife, Williams wrote:
'I have had great times and met with exceptional kindness and every help possible. The weather has been anything but favourable still I have done what was necessary and went to where I intended and am off elsewhere tomorrow.
"All I can say it passes all my imaginings and I hope to do something passable at any rate."
However, while sketching in a trench, in civilian clothes, he was arrested by a suspicious soldier, who marched him to his superiors.
"He was convinced I was a German spy, though I spoke Welsh and English, and that my passports were forged," said Williams on his return.
"Of course I understood that the man only did his duty, but I did not realise how desperate the position was until I mentioned the incident at the War Office on my return. Then I was told: 'Mr. Williams, you are a very lucky man. It's a wonder you were not shot at sight'."
When Williams died aged 61 in 1934, Lloyd George described him as "one of the most gifted artists Wales has produced".
Despite this, his name has been largely forgotten although his work and legacy was the subject of a major retrospective in Aberystwyth four years ago.
Five of Williams's works hang in Maesteg town hall, including one of his father Evan and another, Look Dad I'm a Judge, of his young son dressed as a judge.
The site of the family grocer's shop is now a nail salon but there is a plaque above it to the talented boy who, as a 20-year-old, won a scholarship to the Royal College of Art.
The painting is now usually on loan to the Royal Welch Fusiliers Regimental Museum in Caernarfon.
Capt Ben Phillips, regimental adjutant of The Royal Welsh, said it was important to understand the Welsh connection to Mametz.
"I'm the modern day equivalent of one of the officers who would have fought during World War One in Mametz Wood," he said.
"We would have fought and done exactly what these guys did, and understanding that Welsh connection is really important, for officers and soldiers.
"Young soldiers come in [to the exhibition] and realise that what we've done in Afghanistan and Iraq in the last couple of years possibly pales into insignificance compared to some of the hardship that the guys before us had to endure, so it's quite humbling really.
"Mametz Wood is the one occasion where, during the modern era, Welsh soldiers were fighting hand-to-hand with the enemy. That's quite rare, and that's why it resonates, because it's quite dramatic."
OTHER WORLD WAR ONE ART AT THE EXHIBITION
A pistol carried by the poet Siegfried Sassoon is on display, alongside sketches, oil paintings and preparatory sketches from artists including Bone and Margaret Lindsay Williams.
She was rejected when she volunteered to become an official war artist because she was a woman. Williams painted Care of Wounded Soldiers at the Cardiff Royal Infirmary in 1916. The ward was later named Mametz Ward.
Visitors will see drawings and poems composed in the trenches, as well as large-scale works painted in the years after the battle.
The exhibition also brings together the largest group display of David Jones' war drawings. A total of 26 sketches are included from the poet and artist's time at the Somme serving with the Royal Welsh Fusiliers.
"It's about the poetry, the writing and the art that was produced specifically referencing that battle," said Ms McIntyre.
"A lot of it was by soldiers who were there, by artists and writers such as David Jones."
While some works, including the Williams painting, are part of the National Museum's collection, many others have been loaned from other institutions and private owners.
The more irreverent works include Jones's sketches of dead rats littering the trenches.
The exhibition War's Hell!: The Battle of Mametz Wood in Art will be at National Museum Cardiff from 30 April to 4 September 2016.
He was selected by his local party to stand in South Thanet, which he won when he beat UKIP leader Nigel Farage.
It was revealed earlier this week that Kent Police had submitted a file to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS).
Mr Mackinlay said he would continue to fight for re-election if the CPS decided to prosecute.
Speaking after he was re-selected on Friday night, he said he was "annoyed" about the issue and it felt as though he had been "accused of speeding in a car I wasn't driving, I didn't even know where the car was".
Mr Mackinlay said there was no reason why the investigation would overshadow his campaign ahead of the election on 8 June.
"I've acted properly and honestly throughout and I've done nothing wrong," he said.
The arch-rivals have yet to agree the first of six proposed series between 2015 and 2023.
Talks were disrupted after far-right Hindu nationalists attacked Board of Control for Cricket in India offices, protesting against games with Pakistan.
The Pakistan Cricket Board warned their government "will say don't go" if India do not agree to a series this winter.
The 2016 World Twenty20 is due to be held in India in March and April.
India and Pakistan have not played a bilateral Test series since 2007 after New Delhi stalled the ties in the aftermath of terrorist attacks on Mumbai in 2008, blamed on militants based across the border.
India were due to play two Tests, five one-day internationals and two Twenty20 internationals this year in the United Arab Emirates, where Pakistan play their home Tests because of security concerns in their own country.
In addition to talks being scrapped, Pakistani umpire Aleem Dar was withdrawn from India's home series with South Africa by the International Cricket Council (ICC).
From Saturday morning, BBC Radio Ulster/Foyle's airwaves will be buzzing with interviews and features about reading for Book Week NI.
It is all part of a joint initiative between BBC Northern Ireland and Libraries NI.
The week aims to celebrate the pleasures and benefits of reading.
One of the key messages of the initiative is that books and reading are for everyone - even BBC NI's own Stephen Nolan.
Stephen met with Communities Minister Paul Givan this week at Belfast Central Library, where he became a member and got his own library card.
Mr Givan, who has responsibility for libraries across Northern Ireland said: "The NI Executive recognises the value of public libraries in communities and continues to provide support where possible."
On Monday morning Stephen Nolan will be launching "The Biggest Book Group in the Country".
Once a month, BBC Radio Ulster's The Nolan Show will give listeners the chance to share their views on that month's chosen book.
In the first of The Biggest Book Group in the Country, Charlie Lawson (also known as Big Jim McDonald from Coronation Street) will introduce and read some extracts from the group's first book - which will be revealed that morning.
Listeners will then have a month to read the book, before the programme discusses it at the end of November.
Steven Rainey will present Cover to Cover every weekday at 16:30.
The programme will feature interviews with a range of authors including Wilbur Smith, Jilly Cooper, Bernard Cornwell, Anne Rice, Nicci French and Ian Rankin.
It is often said everyone has at least one good novel in them but how do you get one published? Good Morning Ulster will be finding out how to get your name in print throughout the week.
On Gardeners' Corner, Cherrie McIlwaine will be joined by Wendy Austin as they visit Ormeau Library in Belfast to browse the shelves for books that will appeal to those with green fingers.
On Thursday, The Arts Show will be taking an in-depth look at local crime noir and, on Friday, Ralph McLean will be picking tracks inspired by his favourite music books.
Online, there will be a range of animations and videos including a series of new short films involving local personalities who will be talking about books that changed their life, their childhood favourites or their favourite book of the moment.
Book Week NI offers many opportunities for audiences to get involved, both on air, online and on social media using the tag #bookweekni.
A Porsche Boxster hit a lamppost in Greenacres Road, Oldham, at about 14:10 GMT on Wednesday.
The passenger, a man aged 42, died in hospital a short time later.
Stephen Wilson, 46, of Brideoak Street, Oldham is charged with causing death by dangerous driving, drink driving, and driving while uninsured.
Greater Manchester Police are appealing for witnesses and any dashcam footage which may have been recorded.
Following his Golden Globes triumph, Eddie Redmayne is expected to get a best actor nod for Stephen Hawking biopic The Theory of Everything.
Other British acting talent in the mix could include Benedict Cumberbatch, David Oyelowo, Felicity Jones, Rosamund Pike and Keira Knightley.
The shortlists are revealed in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, at 1330 GMT.
Under the current voting system, the best picture category could have anything between five and 10 films. For each of the last three years, nine films have made the cut.
The shortlist is likely to include dark satire Birdman, coming-of-age drama Boyhood, quirky comedy The Grand Budapest Hotel, The Theory of Everything and another British biopic, The Imitation Game.
Other films jostling for position include civil rights story Selma, jazz drumming indie hit Whiplash, Iraq war thriller American Sniper and wrestling drama Foxcatcher.
Caroline Frost, entertainment editor of The Huffington Post UK, says this year looks set to be a tight race, with some casualties among the early favourites.
"The whole vibe has changed going into awards season," she says.
"Films that people thought would have been shoo-ins - like Interstellar, Unbroken or Selma - set awards bells clanging.
"But instead more interesting, idiosyncratic films, like Boyhood, Birdman and The Grand Budapest Hotel, have put their noses in front."
Both Boyhood and The Grand Budapest Hotel were released in the first half of 2014 - long before the autumn/winter months, when movie bosses like to bring out their awards hopefuls.
"The fact that Boyhood and Grand Budapest came out so early in 2014 may give studio execs pause for thought about their distribution model," observes Frost.
"Maybe it's not such a guaranteed goal-scorer to save up your best films for November or December, because they get caught in the rush.
"As audiences and voters, we are so aware of being sold products these days that we feel warm towards films that we discover for ourselves, that don't have that awards ribbon wrapped round them."
In the acting categories, Redmayne is likely to find himself up against his friend and fellow Brit Cumberbatch, who plays computer pioneer Alan Turing in WW2 drama The Imitation Game.
Perhaps his biggest challenger will be Michael Keaton, who has resurrected his career in surreal dark comedy Birdman in the role of a washed-up superhero actor who is starring in a play on Broadway.
Both Redmayne and Keaton won Golden Globes for their roles this week in separate categories. At the Oscars they will be going head to head.
Other actors who could make the shortlist include David Oyelowo (Selma), Jake Gyllenhaal (Nightcrawler), Bradley Cooper (American Sniper) and Steve Carell (Foxcatcher).
Another Golden Globe winner hoping for Oscar success is Julianne Moore, who plays a linguistics professor diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's in Still Alice. Her powerful performance has made her the bookmakers' favourite to win an Oscar for best actress.
Her rivals could include Redmayne's co-star Felicity Jones, Gone Girl's Rosamund Pike and Reese Witherspoon, who plays a woman who undertakes a gruelling hike in Wild.
There's much speculation that Jennifer Aniston could appear on the shortlist for her role as a woman struggling with prescription painkiller addiction in Cake.
"If Jennifer Aniston has ever had a chance of winning an Oscar, it's got to be this year," says Frost.
"But I think it's Julianne Moore's year, because she's never won an Oscar before and it's her time, as they say, and she's done something worthy of it."
In the supporting actress field, Golden Globe winner Patricia Arquette (Boyhood) is almost guaranteed a nod, alongside Keira Knightley (The Imitation Game) and Birdman's Emma Stone.
If Meryl Streep makes the list for her turn as a fairytale witch in musical Into the Woods, it would be her 19th acting nomination - breaking her own Oscar record.
Expect to see JK Simmons, who plays a terrifying music teacher in Whiplash, in the mix for best supporting actor alongside the likes of Edward Norton (Birdman) and Mark Ruffalo (Foxcatcher).
After storming the Baftas with 11 nominations last week, though, will The Grand Budapest Hotel do as well with Academy voters?
"It will probably do very well," writes The Hollywood Reporter's Oscars analyst Scott Feinberg. "But I'm not sure that it will resonate nearly as much with the American-heavy Academy as it has with voters abroad.
"It has a very particular style and dry sensibility that I think Europeans appreciate more than Americans."
Feinberg thinks Richard Linklater's Boyhood is the one to beat in the race for best picture. "Quite simply, it stands out, with its unique narrative, in a year in which few other films do, and I'd be very surprised if its momentum stops anytime soon."
Frost agrees. "This film has been around for 12 years and there won't be a film like this to vote for again, possibly ever. It's a once-in-a-lifetime accomplishment."
The nominations in all 24 Oscar categories will be announced by actor Chris Pine, Academy president Cheryl Boone Isaacs and directors Alfonso Cuaron and JJ Abrams, on 15 January.
The two-part live news conference at the Academy's Samuel Goldwyn Theatre in Beverly Hills will be streamed live on the BBC News website.
The Oscars ceremony takes place in Hollywood's Dolby Theatre on 22 February.
Anderson and former Trotters striker Dean Holdsworth led a consortium which took control of the club in March.
The club had amassed debts of over £170m before the £7.5m deal.
"The club has not previously or is currently holding any discussions with a Saudi-based group or their legal representatives regarding a potential takeover," the statement said.
Bolton are third in League One, having been relegated from the Championship last season.
In September, Anderson told the BBC he was meeting businesspeople from the Far East in a bid to attract more investment to the club.
Bolton are still under a transfer embargo that was placed upon the club in December last year for failing to comply with Financial Fair Play obligations.
It means the club are unable to pay any fees for players and the Football League keeps a close eye on Bolton's dealings.
The money will be offered to councils in the most deprived parts of Wales to help provide play schemes and meals over the long break.
Kirsty Williams said there would be elements of education in the clubs and Welsh universities would be involved.
"These clubs will offer a positive environment for all our children during the summer holidays," she said.
The Welsh Liberal Democrat AM added: "The reality is for some of our young people the school summer holidays can be a difficult time.
"Children who benefit from free school breakfasts and lunches often miss meals and go hungry once their school closes for the holidays, while the lack of free play schemes and sports activities can have an impact on those from the most disadvantaged backgrounds."
Five local authorities in Wales already run similar schemes and the Welsh Government said councils would be able to access funding for new ventures in the 2017-18 financial year.
The cash will be distributed in conjunction with the Welsh Local Government Association, with further details announced later in the year.
Katie Palmer, Sustainable Food Cities co-ordinator for Food Cardiff, described it as "an important step in tackling health inequalities".
"We are thrilled with this news. Last summer, Food Cardiff worked with the Welsh Local Government Association to develop the Food and Fun model across Wales, in partnership with local councils and health boards," she said.
"The model, based on our pilot in Cardiff during summer 2015, delivered free school meals, food education and fun physical activities to children during the school break."
Fiona Kinghorn, interim director of Public Health for Cardiff and Vale University Health Board, one of Food Cardiff's partners, also welcomed the announcement.
"Some children experience inadequate nutrition during the school holidays and there is also the potential for loss of learning and social isolation," she said.
"We have long recognised that addressing these issues requires a collaborative, coordinated response at local level, underpinned by national policy.
"Therefore we welcome this news from Welsh Government, which sees a commitment to deliver support where it is most needed."
The Notts County Ladies striker has been selected in manager Mark Sampson's squad for the matches against Norway and Sweden in Spain in late January.
Leicester-born Williams, 28, was last called up in April 2013 and was "shocked" by her international return.
"I never retired from England and never gave up on the idea of playing again," she told BBC Radio Leicester.
"But it got to a point after three years where I thought, 'I've had my time'.
"At first I thought someone was having me on."
Williams' club team-mates Carly Telford, Jo Potter, Jade Moore and Ellen White have also been chosen.
It was England Lionesses regular Bassett who alerted Williams to the good news about being part of the 28-player squad for the games against Norway at La Manga Club on Sunday, 22 January, and Sweden at the Pinatar Arena on Tuesday, 24 January.
Williams said: "She texted me to say 'you really need to check your emails'.
"She's like my fairy godmother; she watches over me. She's brilliant."
The last of 13 caps Williams won came under Hope Powell in 2013, and she is thrilled to be involved under Sampson for the first time, with the chance to prove she is worth keeping in the squad for Euro 2017 in the Netherlands.
"I will be like a kid in a sweet shop," the former Leicester, Birmingham and Chelsea forward said. "It's doing something I love doing every day. I can't wait to get out there.
"For me, it is going out there and showing him what I have got. Hopefully I can impress and get called up to the next camp."
On 10 January, Williams signed an extended contract with Notts, having been with the Women's Super League One club since 2015.
A study of a well-preserved Chinese Psittacosaurus fossil shows it had a light underside and was darker on top - an arrangement called counter-shading.
This suggests the species lived in an environment with diffuse light, such as a forest.
As part of their research, the scientists teamed up with an artist to produce a 3-D model of the creature.
The findings by an international team of researchers have been published in Current Biology journal.
Co-author Jakob Vinther, from the University of Bristol, UK, said the camouflage pattern sported by this particular dinosaur "has been shown to function by counter-illuminating shadows on a body, thus making an animal appear optically flat to the eye of the beholder".
It may have protected them against predators that use patterns of shadow on an object to determine their shape - just as humans do.
Psittacosaurus - which means "parrot-lizard" in reference to its parrot-like beak - was an early relative of the three-horned dinosaur Triceratops, in a group known as the Ornithischians.
Previously, scientists have discovered that some fossils preserve "melanosomes" - small structures that carry melanin pigments found in the feathers and skin of many animals.
In some specimens, such as the Psittacosaurus, it's possible to make out the patterns of preserved melanin without the aid of a microscope.
The researchers projected the colour patterns found in the fossil onto a life-size model to explore how they might have helped the creature stay hidden.
They teamed up with Bristol-based palaeo-artist Bob Nicholls to build the physical recreation.
He said: "Our Psittacosaurus was reconstructed from the inside-out. There are thousands of scales, all different shapes and sizes, and many of them are only partially pigmented.
"It was a painstaking process but we now have the best suggestion as to what this dinosaur really looked like."
The team members describe it as the most scientifically accurate life-size model of a dinosaur with its real colour patterns.
They also made a cast of this model which they painted in a uniform shade of grey. The scientists then investigated how shadows were cast on the animal.
This data could then be compared to the camouflage pattern to determine what kind of lighting was best at hiding the dinosaur.
Dr Vinther said: "We predicted that the psittacosaur must have lived in a forest. This demonstrates that fossil colour patterns can provide not only a better picture of what extinct animals looked like, but they can also give new clues about extinct ecologies and habitats.
"We were amazed to see how well these colour patterns actually worked to camouflage this little dinosaur."
The specimen is part of what's known as the Jehol Biota - animals which flourished in north-eastern China from 133 million - 120 million years ago. | Anheuser-Busch is seeking to defend its reputation against claims that it is watering down Budweiser and nine other famous American beer brands it owns.

Goals from Geoffrey Kondogbia and Dimitar Berbatov put Monaco in control of the last-16 first-leg tie.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain gave Arsenal hope, but Yannick Ferreira Carrasco added a third for the visitors.
"It is just not right to give goals away the way we did," said Wenger.
"We missed chances and were suicidal defensively."
Arsenal must now score at least three goals when the sides meet at Stade Louis II on 17 March if they are to avoid exiting at the last-16 stage for the fifth straight season.
No side has lost a European Cup or Champions League first-leg knockout tie at home by two goals and progressed since Ajax in 1969.
Wenger warned Monaco, who conceded just once and scored only four goals in their group, would play on the counter-attack.
But his team were caught on the break early in the second half as Berbatov added to Kondogbia's deflected opener and substitute Ferreira Carrasco netted another breakaway goal in added time.
"On the second and third goals, it was suicide," said the Gunners boss. "It looks like we have lost our nerve and our rationality. The heart took over the head and at this level that doesn't work.
"Mentally we were not sharp enough. We rushed our game. We knew coming back in at half-time it was important not to concede the second goal, but we were too impatient. It was more heart than brain."
Wenger admitted Monaco's third goal could be decisive: "The task is massive now. The third goal makes it even more difficult."
He substituted compatriot Olivier Giroud on the hour mark after he missed the target with six efforts: "It looked like it was not one of his best days."
Former Spurs striker Dimitar Berbatov: "It was a great success. We fought like a team, we scored our chances and it's a great result.
"Probably the only people who believed we could do something good today was the players and the coach. I know how the good players are that we have. They are young players, but they have good quality.
"It is a big step but nothing is over because Arsenal are a very dangerous team. When the next game comes, we will try to prepare and not allow them to score the goals they need to score."
Monaco coach Leonardo Jardim: "No-one really thought that this result would have been possible, but we achieved it. However, Arsenal are a great side and we are only halfway through this knockout tie.
"Football is a team game and we know individual players are important. We were able to nullify their threat. We were very organised and, as I said we would, we were also able to attack with a lot of quality."
Former Arsenal defender Martin Keown on BBC Radio 5 live: "The team is not professional enough. They get too caught up in the moment.
"It's one thing to identify the problems, but it's another thing to make the necessary changes. Big decisions have got to be made, but Wenger loves every player and treats every player like his son. He's got to be ruthless for the benefit of the team."
Mr Trudeau underscored his government's commitment to bringing in "those fleeing persecution, terror & war".
The US Department of Homeland Security said the entry ban would also apply to dual nationals of the seven countries.
However, Mr Trudeau's office says Canadian dual nationals are exempt.
"We have been assured that Canadian citizens travelling on Canadian passports will be dealt with in the usual process," a spokeswoman for Mr Trudeau said in an emailed statement.
US President Donald Trump's National Security Adviser Mike Flynn "confirmed that holders of Canadian passports, including dual citizens, will not be affected by the ban," the statement said.
Canada's Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussen is a dual national who arrived as a Somali refugee.
Within hours, Mr Trudeau's tweets had been shared more than 150,000 times.
"Welcome to Canada" also became a trending term in the country.
Mr Trudeau, who gained global attention for granting entry to nearly 40,000 Syrian refugees to Canada over the past 13 months, also sent a pointed tweet that showed him greeting a young refugee at a Canadian airport in 2015.
On Friday, Mr Trump signed an executive order suspending entry to the US from Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Iran, Somalia, Libya, and Yemen for 90 days.
The US's entire refugee admissions programme has also been suspended for 120 days. Those fleeing Syria as refugees are banned until further notice.
The executive orders created confusion in airports around the world as immigration and customs officials struggled to interpret the new rules.
The Canadian government is also in contact with the US administration "to get more clarity" on how the executive orders will affect Canadians citizens travelling to the US, said federal Transport Minister Marc Garneau.
On Saturday, the US State Department confirmed to the BBC that all travellers - including those with dual nationality - from one of the seven designated countries will be barred from entering the US.
That includes people with valid immigrant or non-immigrant visas.

Trump border policy: World reacts
Mr Trudeau has refrained from criticising Mr Trump, despite the fact the two leaders have divergent political views.
In recent media appearances, the prime minister has focused on the long friendship between Canada and the US and the deep economic ties between the two nations. The US is Canada's primary trading partner.
Canada plans to allow 300,000 immigrants into the country in 2017, mostly through economic immigration, though that figure includes 40,000 refugees.
Syrians, Iraqis and Afghans topped the list of applicants, with more than a third going to Germany, Eurostat says.
Thousands more migrants are arriving in Greece from Turkey every day.
More than 10,000 are now stranded in northern Greece on the border with Macedonia, as EU countries have re-imposed internal border controls.
At a news conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Paris, French President Francois Hollande said migrants had to stay in neighbouring countries. He also vowed continued support for Turkey.
Speaking after talks with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Ankara, European Council president Donald Tusk said that, for the first time, a "European consensus" was emerging over how to handle the migrant crisis.
Mr Tusk - who is on a diplomatic tour ahead of an EU-Turkey summit on Monday - also said he had been told by Mr Erdogan that Turkey was ready to take back all migrants apprehended in Turkish waters.
Have EU promises been kept?
Why is EU struggling with migrants and asylum?
The EU on Friday also announced the first payments of a €3bn ($3.3bn; £2.3bn) package aimed at helping Turkey cope with migrants on its soil.
The head of the EU's delegation to Turkey, Hansjorg Haber, said a large amount of the money would be spent on humanitarian aid, followed by schooling and infrastructure for migrants.
Some €400,000 had already been disbursed, Mr Haber said.
The Turkish government says that it has spent €8bn on Syrian refugees.
On Thursday, Mr Tusk issued a warning to illegal economic migrants not to try to reach Europe,
He also proposed "a fast and large-scale mechanism to ship back irregular migrants" arriving in Greece.
Turkey, which is already hosting 2.5 million migrants, has been reluctant to readmit those who have managed to reach the EU.
Sending people back to Turkey is also problematic for the EU.
International law forbids returns of asylum seekers to countries if there is a risk of death or persecution there. Only one EU country - Bulgaria - considers Turkey "safe", the European Commission says.
However, an EU-Turkey action plan agreed last October says those who do not qualify for international protection - that is, economic migrants - can and should be sent back. It takes time however to determine genuine asylum claims.
The EU is offering incentives to Turkey: visa-free travel for Turkish citizens in the passport-free Schengen zone; a new determination to proceed with Turkey's EU membership bid; and €3bn in extra aid for refugees hosted by Turkey.
Internal border controls introduced by eight EU countries to stop the flow of migrants and refugees have strained the Schengen agreement.
On Friday, the European Commission unveiled a proposal to restore a fully-functioning border-free area by the end of the year.
Among the measures, it says countries must stop the "wave-through" procedure of allowing migrants to move from one country to another, along with support for external border controls, particularly for Greece.
The International Organization for Migration says 120,369 migrants have arrived in Greece from Turkey so far this year and at least 321 have died en route.
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.
Five-year-old Elizabeth Spencer died before Christmas after a 17-day battle with an immune system disorder.
Her mother Natalia, from Cheltenham, is embarking on a year-long coastal walk to raise funds for Bristol Children's Hospital, which cared for Elizabeth.
"This is a very easy thing to do after what I have been through," she said.
"I am not nervous - I feel good about it. Am I brave? I don't know.
" I don't feel brave, I am just dealing with the situation because there is not much I could do," said the 41-year-old.
"She was my whole entire life - all my routine was around her. There was nothing left for me.
"She will be with me every step of the way. We will do it together."
Mrs Spencer began the walk at Durdle Door in Dorset, which was the last spot she visited with her late daughter.
Elizabeth died from HLH, hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis - sparked by a common virus which then caused her organs to shut down.
Her mother is aiming to raise £100,000 for charity by walking clockwise around the coastline of mainland Britain.
The arrests took place during the past five months in a joint operation between the PSNI and the National Crime Agency (NCA).
It is the first joint operation of its kind since the NCA began operating in NI in May.
Four people have been charged, and action taken to protect 32 children deemed to be at risk.
Codenamed Operation Jarra, the investigation targeted people using the internet to access indecent images of children.
Det Ch Supt George Clarke, head of the PSNI's Public Protection Branch, said it was a "despicable crime".
"What we are talking about here is people viewing imagery of children being raped, being brutalised, and being physically abused," he added.
"This criminal activity touches every part of Northern Ireland, and every part of society here, and we have some very dangerous offenders here."
He also had this warning for those involved in this kind of crime.
"Offenders need to know the internet is not an anonymous place, it is not a safe place, it is a place where law enforcement is looking for them, where law enforcement is going to find them, and they will face the full rigour of the law when caught," he said.
Dr Zoe Hilton, Head of Child Protection for the NCA, said more arrests will follow.
"We want to send a very clear message that people are not safe anywhere on the internet if they are looking at indecent images of children," she said.
"They are leaving a forensic trail and we will find them. There is no hiding place."
Dr Hilton said the sexual exploitation of children on the internet has a serious and long lasting impact on the victims.
"Online images are not a 'lesser' form of abuse," she said.
"Every child in those images has been sexually abused, and every time someone looks at an image that child is victimised again.
"Knowing those images are out there has a devastating impact on victims."

The Blues were knocked out of the Champions League by Paris St-Germain in midweek but lead the top flight by five points with 11 games remaining.
Mourinho said: "The people who went out last Wednesday are the same who've been top of the league since day one.
"They are the same people who won the Capital One Cup and the same people who are going to win the Premier League."
Mourinho said that he held a meeting with his players to discuss their defeat, on away goals, in the last 16 of the Champions League and had now "closed the chapter".
He added: "The only thing to speak about the Champions League is that if we win the Premier League we are top seeds next season.
"We closed the chapter, but we still have the book to write. We have 11 more matches to finish the book.
"Let's see if the last page of the book is with the Premier League trophy in our hands."
Chelsea host Southampton in the Premier League on Sunday, kick-off 13:30 GMT.
Former Liverpool players-turned-pundits Graeme Souness and Jamie Carragher were scathing of Chelsea's approach and conduct during their Champions League exit.
Mourinho said: "You know, the world is a bit strange, maybe because of diet and the quality of the products we are eating, because memories are getting shorter.
"When Jamie Carragher and Graeme Souness speak about it, it's because they're having a problem.
"Jamie stopped playing a couple of years ago and in two years he forgot everything he did on the pitch.
"Mr Souness also forgot but he stopped playing quite a long time [ago], and he also forgets that a couple of years after he left Benfica I coached there. I know a lot about him.
"I learned so much about him but also a certain kind of education, not just in football but also in life. So I prefer to laugh and say that envy is the biggest tribute that the shadows give to the man."
Souness won three European Cups as a player and his last managerial job was with Newcastle United in 2006.
Mourinho added: "The difference between me and Souness is this - Souness as a player, up there. Jose Mourinho as a player, down here. Jose Mourinho as a manager, up here. Souness as a manager, down there.
"With another difference - I was not a frustrated man because I was not a top player. He is clearly a frustrated man.
"I have lots of respect, in spite of some episodes, for a fantastic player with a fantastic career in a fantastic club with a top generation."
Chelsea were criticised after nine of their players surrounded referee Bjorn Kuipers before he showed Zlatan Ibrahimovic a red card following a challenge on Oscar in the midweek defeat by PSG.
Mourinho said: "If my players surround the referee, we are charged.
"We have to pay a fine and if we do that, the players pay the fine. At this moment we have eight months of competition, we have been charged once and we paid for that. It's as simple as that."
George Boole, who was born in Lincoln in 1815, invented Boolean logic, a system of AND, OR or NOT statements.
It is still used in games, apps and search engines, including Google, which uses plus or minus to narrow results.
Those behind the artwork, titled Perhaps, said it was about looking beyond yes and no.
Jeanine Griffin, from the university, who was involved in commissioning the work, said: "This new sculpture pays testament to a truly revolutionary thinker whose ideas continue to transform the way we live 150 years on.
"Boole's legacy is all around us; in every computer, smartphone and digital device."
The sculpture, comprising interlocking arcs coated in a reflective surface, has been created by Raqs Media Collective.
Monica Narula, from the New Delhi-based collective, said: "Lincoln was George Boole's birthplace. He must have walked by Brayford Pool, asking questions that needed answers in yes, no, and perhaps, perhaps.
"This work remembers those moments outside the boundaries of yes and no..."
The sculpture, which is temporary, will be in place close to the Minerva Building at the University of Lincoln for two months from 8th July.
George Boole told a friend in 1851 Boolean logic could be "the most valuable if not the only valuable contribution that I have made or am likely to make to science and the thing by which I would desire if at all to be remembered hereafter".
The mathematician died on 8 December 1864. He is buried in Ballintemple, Cork, Republic of Ireland, where he spent his final years.
Commemorating him in Lincoln are a Boole memorial window in the cathedral, a plaque on his Pottergate house and a mention on an obelisk to city greats in St Marks.

Last week he called for action against the threat posed by the "massive increase" of private hire vehicles.
Jo Bertram at Uber said the answer to London's traffic problems was not to "limit licences and jobs", which she said would push up prices.
A spokesperson for the mayor said he was "not on an Uber witch-hunt".
Ms Bertram said that limiting licences and jobs would also "force people back into their own cars, causing more congestion and pollution".
She said: "This is why smart technology like Uber is so important as it ensures modern, clean vehicles can move lots more people around the city efficiently."
Ms Bertram said she wanted to work with the mayor to improve transport and keep the capital moving.
A spokesperson for City Hall said: "This [tackling the number of private hire cabs] is about London being able to provide a high-quality minicab and black cab trade for London, which isn't eroding key objectives such as keeping traffic moving and cleaning up our air.‎"
The spokesperson said it did not matter who the drivers work for, saying: "It just doesn't make sense to have such a large number of minicab drivers in the capital."
The 35-year-old, who joined the Cobblers in 2016 and made 49 starts, has signed a one-year contract.
"I'm excited by the project of trying to get the team promoted back into League One," said Taylor.
"There seems to be already a togetherness within the group of players and they seem to be doing really well, so I'm really excited."
Northampton manager Justin Edinburgh said: "We fully understand Matt's wish to play regular first-team football and it's not something we could guarantee.
"He is a first class professional and we wish him well at his new club."

Police were called to Holy Cross College, in the Melmount Road area, at about 12:40 GMT.
The fight happened in the canteen, where about 600 pupils are believed to have been present.
The Northern Ireland Ambulance Service also attended the scene, but that no-one was taken in for treatment.
Police released the arrested male back into the care of his parents.
The parents of all pupils involved had been contacted and no serious injuries had been reported, police added.
It is understood the fight broke out between two pupils, who were separated and taken outside.
However, about six pupils - who are believed to have been friends of the two pupils - then got involved in another altercation.
A parent said her 14-year-old daughter had been very distressed by what happened.
"She says everybody was scared, running, didn't know what to do or how to get away from the situation," said Eileen Whisker.
She added that her daughter and other pupils had been reduced to tears by the incident.
"She doesn't want to go to school tomorrow," said Ms Whisker.
The school's principal, Maria Doherty, said the police were called in a "supportive role".
"We decided to call the PSNI because of the number of students we had in the canteen and social area at the time and the potential this situation had to escalate," she said.
Evelyn Nolan, who had a complex seizure disorder, was receiving palliative care at University Hospital Southampton.
Hospital staff specially adapted a ventilator to allow Evelyn to go into the water with her parents.
Her mother, Debbie Vavangas, said: "We knew it was a huge ask but they made it happen for us."
"The minute we put her in the water her whole body relaxed and she had a smile on her face," Ms Vavangas said.
"It was truly, truly magical.
"We wanted to give her a final gift, the team at the hospital made all of that possible."
Evelyn, who had her first seizures at three months old, was diagnosed with a rare chromosomal disorder.
The main impact of the condition meant she was profoundly epileptic.
Dr Michael Griksaitis, paediatric intensive care consultant at the hospital, said: "Evelyn was a very brave young girl who so many of our staff were extremely fond of.
"To have given Evelyn and her family such a significant memory at such a difficult time means a great deal to everyone involved."
She died on 19 August two days after the swim.
Writing in The Observer, its boss Anthony Browne also says smaller banks could move operations overseas by 2017.
"Their hands are quivering over the relocate button," he wrote. Most banks had backed the UK remaining in the EU.
Mr Browne also said the current "public and political debate at the moment is taking us in the wrong direction."
His comments build upon those he made at the BBA annual conference last week, when he said banks had already "set up project teams to work out what operations they need to move by when, and how best to do it".
"Banking is probably more affected by Brexit than any other sector of the economy, both in the degree of impact and the scale of the implications," he told the newspaper.
"It is the UK's biggest export industry by far and is more internationally mobile than most. But it also gets its rules and legal rights to serve its customers cross-border from the EU."
Analysis: Joe Lynam, BBC Business correspondent
One of the perks of Europe's Single Market - which also currently includes the UK, Norway and EU countries such as the Netherlands - is "passporting". Passporting allows banks and insurance companies to sell their services anywhere in the single market without having to establish a base in every country in Europe.
But single market membership comes with conditions: freedom of movement of goods, services, capital and (crucially) people. Theresa May has already said she intends to restrict the free movement of people from the EU after Brexit, while EU leaders have meanwhile said the four freedoms are indivisible ie non-negotiable.
That means the UK may have to quit the single market and lose passporting. What Anthony Browne from the BBA is doing is upping the ante on the government, by saying some banks will start to relocate in the coming months without passporting.
What he also says though is that erecting any barriers to cross-border banking will be just as bad for Europe as it would be for the UK.
Mr Browne added: "For banks, Brexit does not simply mean additional tariffs being imposed on trade - as is likely to be the case with other sectors. It is about whether banks have the legal right to provide services."
Banks want to see the continuation of the EU's "passporting" system, allowing UK-based financial services to operate across Europe without needing separate authorisation.
Banks have called for transition arrangements to be put in place after the UK leaves the EU.
But Mr Browne warned that in Europe and among UK eurosceptics the mood was "hardening".
"The problem comes - as seems increasingly likely, judging by the rhetoric - when national governments try to use the EU exit negotiations to build walls across the Channel to split Europe's integrated financial market in two, in order to force jobs from London," Mr Browne said.
"From a European perspective, this would be cutting off its nose to spite its face. It might lead to a few jobs moving to Paris or Frankfurt but it will make it more expensive for companies in France and Germany to raise money for investment, slowing the wider economy."
Meanwhile, Liberal Democrat foreign affairs spokesperson Tom Brake said that if the UK pursued a "hard Brexit" then it would "threaten the £65bn the UK financial services industry pays in taxes each year".
He added: "The Conservative government must explain how it will make up this funding shortfall if the UK leaves the single market."
The Welsh Conservatives say that of 93 appointments to local health boards, 12 were Labour members with two each from Plaid Cymru and the Liberal Democrats and no Tories.
They want to replace the seven chairs with directly-elected commissioners.
The Welsh government said the current appointment system was fair.
Darren Millar AM, the Welsh Conservative's shadow health minister, said, "There are serious questions about why there have been three times as many Labour Party appointments as there have been for all the political parties put together."
The Welsh government said ministers appointed health board members after they were recommended for selection by an independent appointments panel and they were chosen on merit.
"On the basis of the Conservatives' own figures, 85% declared no political activity," a spokesman said.
"The appointments process in Wales mirrors that in England and elsewhere in the UK and is governed by the independent commissioner for public appointments."
The five cousins, aged between three and seven, were discovered by their grandmother in Kakamas town, Northern Cape province, on Tuesday, police say.
Police do not suspect foul play.
In a separate incident on Tuesday, two children died from suffocation after getting locked in a car that was awaiting repairs outside Johannesburg.
Police have urged parents and guardians not to allow children to play unaccompanied in places where their safety could be at risk.
In a statement about the deaths in Kakamas, they said they believed the freezer, which was turned off, locked while the children were playing inside it.
Gordon Smith also repeated his calls for children under the age of 12 to be banned from heading footballs.
It emerged at the weekend that former Celtic captain Billy McNeill has dementia and is unable to speak.
His family have called for more research into possible links between heading and dementia.
Mr Smith, who was chief executive of the Scottish Football Association between 2007 and 2010, played for Manchester City when Mr McNeill was the manager in the 1980s.
He told the BBC's Good Morning Scotland programme that Mr McNeill had told him how, during his own playing career, he would regularly have someone kick 50 balls at him after training and attempt to head them as far up the park as he could.
Mr Smith said: "It came home to me once I found out the problem he had - I thought there must be some sort of correlation between what he did then and the types of ball that you had in those days, which were a lot heavier, more solid."
Mr Smith said he did not want heading to be banned from the adult game, but added: "I think there might be a scenario where eventually players would have to sign some sort of form that says they are not going to take action at a later date.
"A disclaimer form (saying) that if you are playing football then heading is part of the game, you accept that and you get on with it.
"I think that might be the way ahead because we don't want to see the game change - heading is a tremendous part of the game and I don't want it taken out of football."
Research published by Stirling University last year found "small but significant changes in brain function" after players headed the ball 20 times.
The study found that memory performance was reduced by between 41% and 67% in the 24 hours after routine heading practice.
Mr Smith said he wanted to see the potential link between brain injuries, dementia and football examined in greater detail.
He pointed out that footballs are now much lighter than they were in 1950s and 60s, and that children under the age of 12 play seven-a-side games in which there is hardly any heading.
But he called for Scotland to follow the American model by imposing a total ban on heading by any child under the age of 12.
At the weekend, Mr McNeill's wife, Liz, told the Sunday Mail and the Scottish Sun on Sunday about her husband's battle with the degenerative brain disease since being diagnosed seen years ago.
She decided to make his illness public ahead of the 50th anniversary of Mr McNeill becoming the first British captain to lift the European Cup when Celtic defeated Italian club Internazionale in Lisbon in May 1967.
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."
Luke Griggs, of brain injury charity Headway, claimed the football authorities in the UK had been "dragging their heels" over the issue for years.
He added: "When it comes to heading footballs the reality is that we don't have enough evidence yet to draw a meaningful conclusion, and that is something that should have been rectified a long time ago.
"Urgent action needs to be taken now not only to give answers to families of footballers who were playing in the old era of heavy footballs, but also to give reassurance to families of children who are playing today that their kids are safe playing this sport."
Last year, the Football Association in England said it would lead a study into possible links between football and brain diseases.
It followed a campaign by the family of former England, West Brom and Notts County striker Jeff Astle, who died from brain trauma in 2002.
A coroner described his illness as an "industrial disease", in reference to him heading leather balls during his career.
An estimated 93,000 people have dementia in Scotland - about 3,200 of whom are under the age of 65.
Curran joined England's limited-overs tour of the West Indies in February after an injury to Nottinghamshire's Jake Ball, but did not make his debut.
The 21-year-old also featured for England Lions in their winter tours of Sri Lanka and the United Arab Emirates.
"Obviously I was disappointed not to play, but I wasn't expecting it to be easy," he told BBC Radio London.
"Getting an international debut is not easy and it's definitely just made me more hungry."
Curran, the son of former Zimbabwe all-rounder Kevin Curran and brother of Surrey and England Lions teammate Sam, averaged 27.66 with the ball in 50-over cricket last season, but 42.29 in first-class games.
"I see myself as an all three-formats cricketer," he continued.
"But obviously if one-day cricket for England comes first, then that's my way in."
Four-time Paralympic gold medallist Smyth will be one of the first Irish athletes in action when he competes in the T13 100m heats on Thursday.
"Preparations have been ideal for me," says the world's fastest Paralympian.
"There are always plenty of doom and gloom stories beforehand but as an athlete, you just focus on yourself."
With Smyth's opening heat taking place at 23:15 BST on Thursday, the Irish star will not be involved in Wednesday's opening ceremony.
"As incredible as the opening ceremony is, there's a lot of standing around and it wouldn't be the ideal preparation for me, with my first race taking pace the next day," adds Smyth, who as an eight-year-old was diagnosed with the genetic condition Stargardt's Disease, which has left him with less than 10% of normal vision.

The visually-impaired sprinter also missed out on the opening ceremony at London 2012 when he went on to break his own world records as he retained the T13 100m and 200m titles.
Smyth's 10.46 seconds 100m winning time in London remains the fastest ever Paralympic clocking, although the County Londonderry man has gone as fast as 10.22 in able-bodied competition.
Four years on, Smyth does not have the option of doubling up after the International Paralympic Committee opted to remove the 200m from this year's athletics programme.
Smyth has had over two years to get over that disappointment and all his attentions are focused on retaining his 100m title with the final taking place on Friday at 15:00 BST, less than 16 hours after the heats.
As ever with Paralympic competition, gauging the quality of Smyth's opposition is tricky, but the Team Ireland star expects home runner Gustavo Henrique Araujo to be among his main rivals.
The Brazilian finished second behind Smyth at last year's IPC World Championships in Doha, although the Northern Irishman's time of 10.62 seconds left him 0.28 clear.
"He's fairly new on the scene so I wouldn't be surprised if he kicks on a bit, especially as he has a home Games," added Smyth, whose 100m personal best of 10.22 - recorded in 2011 - enabled him to join Usain Bolt and the globe's other best able-bodies sprinters at that year's World Championships in Daegu.
However, Smyth knows he will be a long odds-on favourite to retain his title - just has been the case since he started a long unbeaten record in Paralympic competition by achieving the T13 sprint double at the European Championships in Finland in 2005.
"Obviously there is the expectation for me to win and the pressure to do so but I try not to think about that too much," adds Smyth, whose wife Elise gave birth to the couple's first child Evie last October.
"It's a case of trying to control what you can control and the best way to do that is to be positive and just focus on putting your race together.
"Then you just hope everyone else finds themselves behind you."
Smyth started 2016 with hopes of also competing at the Olympics in Rio but his 100m season's best of 10.39 - clocked in May in Florida - was 0.23 seconds outside the qualifying mark.
However, that run was still his fastest time in three years following the knee injury he suffered in a gym session in 2013.
"Things have been going well. Being injury-free gives you the platform to get some good work done and I'm happy and optimistic that things are going to go well in Rio."
Let's start with a few facts about Finnish grammar (hang on in there, the relevance is coming).
Finnish has 15 different cases, meaning that there is a different word for "building" according to whether you are on your way to it, coming from it, or perhaps stuck inside it.
Finnish is also fiendishly difficult for foreigners to pronounce, with a subtle difference between for example "tuli" meaning fire, and "tuuli" meaning wind.
"I tried learning it, but gave up after two years," one British resident of Helsinki tells me.
Another had persisted longer, and proudly explained he was now able to argue with his father-in-law. "But I couldn't pass an exam in Finnish - no way."
Yet facing an exam is now a distinct possibility for the roughly 10,000 British people who have made Finland their home.
Until now, they have been able to live and work freely in the country, as members of the European Union.
But with the triggering of Article 50, the UK appears to be on an irreversible path to quitting, leaving the status of British expats unclear.
Long-term residents, particularly those with Finnish husbands or wives, can apply for Finnish citizenship. But that requires them to pass a language exam.
And those with fewer ties feel their situation to be even more precarious.
"We don't know what the future is," Paul tells me. He's been in Finland since 1999, and works in IT.
"Do we need to get a visa to work in Europe? Nobody knows."
We are speaking in The Woolshed, a bar in central Helsinki frequented by the local British population.
And when I raise the topic of Brexit, the pub high spirits swiftly disappear.
Graham Mackie, from Peterhead, near Aberdeen, has just passed the 10-year mark as a resident here and is in a fiery mood.
"I am shocked and stunned. I've had no guarantee for me to stay," he says. "We are being used as bargaining chips."
Mr Mackie is referring to the British government, and its apparent "commitment issues".
The prime minister has refused to say whether foreign EU citizens will be allowed to remain in the UK after Brexit.
Theresa May has made it clear she thinks it would be foolish to offer any such guarantees, unless other EU states make a reciprocal promise to let Britons stay.
The ties between the UK and Finland go back a long way.
It was in the 14th Century that tar derived from Finnish pine trees was bought by Britain to use in its burgeoning shipbuilding industry.
That commercial relationship continues, with several billion euros' worth of goods traded every year, particularly healthcare products, chemicals and machine tools.
Yet until future trade negotiations are settled between Britain and the EU, it is also a matter of conjecture whether imports and exports can continue so easily.
It has been left to Garry Parker, who chairs the British and Commonwealth Chamber of Commerce in Helsinki, to offer local business people advice.
"They need to plan ahead," he says. "What do they do with contracts? What do they do with employment?"
Asked what the prospects are, Mr Parker is disarmingly frank.
"There'll be a massive cost to business. I'd like to say I'm optimistic, but when it comes to the negotiators and who we've got, I'm not so sure."
Britain's decision to leave the EU has been greeted by many Finns with bewilderment.
Their own country's accession to membership in 1995 was seen as a decisive shift away from Russian influence and into Western Europe's embrace.
Yet the country does have its eurosceptics, notably the Finns Party, which is a member of the current coalition government.
When I speak to one of the party's ministers, Pirkko Mattila, she insists Britons currently resident in Finland have nothing to fear.
"I don't see why they should leave after Brexit, if they love Finland."
But when pushed on what would happen if Britain does not let EU citizens stay, her reassurances sound a little more qualified.
"It depends on the case. If a person in Finland has a job, then we cannot force them to leave."
Janet Ahola has no desire to leave Finland.
Married to a Finn, with a son, a dog and a large house in the suburbs, she looks very much at home as she serves me a traditional Finnish cake - along with a very English cup of tea.
What scares Janet is that if she did have to return to the UK, her son and husband might face difficulties of their own.
Both have Finnish passports, and so they in turn might not be allowed to work.
"Everyone talks about trade, but what about the little people and what will happen?
"I'm just one tiny person in an enormous deal that's being done.
"Nothing is a given, and nobody can tell us."
Paul Moss reports for BBC Radio 4's The World Tonight programme
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.

Slower wages growth in Australia has also hit government revenues hard, said Deloitte Access Economics.
It has forecast massive budget blowouts for both the 2014-15 and 2015-16 financial years.
The budget looks like it was "written by Stephen King and painted by Edvard Munch", thanks to a crash in commodity prices, it said in its report.
The government will deliver its 2015-16 budget papers on 12 May, setting out its proposed revenue and expenditure in the following financial year, and its fiscal policy for several years after that.
The Abbott government campaigned hard in the 2013 election on its economic credentials, promising to balance the budget and not raise new taxes.
But last month, Australian Treasurer Joe Hockey said the government faced a multi-billion dollar revenue loss due to a plunge in the price of iron ore.
A large slice of Australian government revenue comes from royalties paid by miners on commodities such as iron ore and coal.
However, the government has said it remains committed to achieving a budget surplus.
Deloitte Access Economics, one of Australia's main economic advisory firms, has projected an underlying cash deficit of A$45.9bn ($35.9bn; £23.7bn) for the 2014-15 year.
"That is a substantial A$5.5bn worse than projected at budget time (last year) and shows little improvement from the recorded deficit of A$48.5bn in 2013-14," said Deloitte partner Chris Richardson.
"And if you think that's bad, then 2015-16 looks like it has been written by Stephen King and painted by Edvard Munch," he said.
"Dull it ain't: China continues to carve chunks out of Canberra, leading to rampant revenue shortfalls."
He said also that wages growth, which jumped ahead of productivity gains during the commodity boom that is now coming to an end, was now "limping along" as businesses tried to claw back their competitiveness.
"That's set to tear a new hole in the heart of the budget," said Mr Richardson, adding that Deloitte had projected a deficit of $45.3bn for 2015-16.
"There are reasons to fear China's slowdown could worsen, and the momentum in commodity markets is downwards," he said.
Responding to the report, Prime Minister Tony Abbott said the government had a credible path back to a budget surplus but would not put a date on when that would be achieved.
"I appreciate what Chris Richardson has been saying. He is a very distinguished private sector economist," Mr Abbott said at a press conference in Canberra on Monday.
"[But] I want to assure you that this government has a strong and credible plan to repair the budget and what will be obvious on budget night is that this is a budget that is measured, responsible and fair," he said.
They said in a statement they had agreed to resume regular trilateral meetings, not held since 2012.
They also agreed to improve their economic co-operation.
The talks in the South Korean capital, Seoul, were an attempt to ease ill-feeling fuelled by territorial disputes and historical disagreements.
China and South Korea say Japan has not done enough to atone for its troops' brutality in World War Two.
The BBC's Stephen Evans in Seoul says the real significance of the talks is that they happened at all.
They were held regularly until three-and-a-half years ago, when they were called off as bad feeling towards Japan intensified.
"We shared the view that trilateral co-operation has been completely restored on the occasion of this summit," South Korean President Park Geun-hye, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said in a joint statement, quoted by AFP.
Ms Park said the three leaders had agreed to work together to conclude the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), a 16-nation free trade area favoured by Beijing.
She said they maintained their goal of "denuclearising" North Korea, AFP reported.
Our correspondent says that South Korea and Japan are torn between their allegiance to the US and their need to get on economically with Beijing.
Mr Li met Ms Park on Saturday and the two agreed to try to increase trade, particularly through more Korean exports of food to China and co-operation on research into robotics.
The two leaders were joined by Mr Abe on Sunday.
The judge in Mexico City is expected to begin deliberating on 26 September.
However, Guzman could appeal any decision to extradite him and his lawyers say the process could take years to conclude.
The leader of the notorious Sinaloa drug cartel is being held in a maximum security prison near the US border.
A US official told AFP news agency he hoped Guzman would be extradited by the end of the year.
Who is "El Chapo" Guzman?
Mexico agreed to transfer Guzman in May after the US guaranteed he would not face the death penalty.
The two extradition requests granted by Mexico's foreign ministry were for Guzman to face cocaine smuggling charges in the US state of California and multiple charges including murder in the state of Texas.
However, in June a Mexican judge temporarily halted the extradition after Guzman's lawyers filed appeals.
They argued that the statute of limitations had run out on some crimes Guzman is accused of in the US and that some of the accusations lacked direct evidence.
Guzman was arrested in January after six months on the run following his escape through a tunnel in his jail cell. He had already escaped a maximum security facility once before, spending 13 years at large.
The Hertfordshire Oil Storage Terminal, or HOSL as it is also known, handled around 2.37 million metric tonnes of oil products a year - mainly petrol, diesel and aviation fuel - delivered by tankers and pipeline.
The depot, opened in 1968, is outside the town of Hemel Hempstead, 40km (25 miles) northwest of London and just off the busy M1 motorway, which was closed twice because of the fire.
Some residents had to be evacuated from nearby housing, while offices and warehouses around the site suffered major damage.
Disaster struck early in the morning of Sunday 11 December as unleaded motor fuel was being pumped into storage tank 912, in the north west corner of the site. Safeguards on the tank failed and none of the staff on duty realised its capacity had been reached.
By 0520 GMT, investigators believe, the tank was overflowing.
The overflow from the tank led to the rapid formation of a rich fuel and air vapour. It thickened to about 2m (6.6ft) and started spreading in all directions.
Further explosions followed and a large fire took hold, eventually engulfing 20 large storage tanks. Emergency services declared a major emergency at 0608 and a huge firefighting effort began, peaking with 25 fire engines, 20 support vehicles and 180 firefighters on site before the blaze was finally extinguished on 15 December.
The plant - co-owned by Total and Texaco, with sections operated by other firms including BP and the British Pipeline Agency - suffered extensive damage, although the water curtain helped save large areas.
At one point black smoke covered much of south-eastern England, as satellite images show.
The most serious cases included the deaths of 26 newborns and 79 stillbirths. Three mothers also died.
Staff shortages, medicines given in error and treatment delays were also among the incidents logged.
The Scottish government pointed out that in 2015 the country had recorded its lowest level of stillbirths.
Health Secretary Shona Robison also said that there were fewer neonatal deaths and fewer maternal deaths.
The minister's comments came following a BBC Scotland Freedom of Information (FOI) request into the number of "adverse events" taking place in maternity units.
Across Scotland from the beginning of 2011 until the end of 2015 there were more than 285,000 births, including 1,247 stillbirths.
Health board detailed minor incidents including slips, trips, bumps and falls, but also more serious events including:
In reality the total figure may be far higher than 25,000, because some health boards - including Greater Glasgow and Clyde - provided only the most serious events rather than all adverse events.
The figures did reveal almost 500 incidents in relation to staff shortages, more than 440 referring to medicine given in error, and more than 100 delays in treatment.
The FOIs also showed evidence of a series of staffing problems at health boards in Fife, Grampian, Highland and Lanarkshire.
It has raised questions over how many of these adverse events could have been avoided.
On Monday, the Scottish government announced an independent investigation into baby deaths at a Kilmarnock hospital.
Ms Robison said Healthcare Improvement Scotland would review care at Crosshouse after BBC Scotland revealed six so-called "unnecessary" deaths of babies at the hospital since 2008.
Fraser Morton said NHS Ayrshire and Arran health board had refused to carry out a review following the death of his son Lucas in Crosshouse Hospital last year.
He believed a shortage of staff and a lack of training contributed to the death of his son.
Gillian Smith, the director of the Royal College of Midwives (RCM), said there was a definite correlation between staff shortages and adverse events.
With new figures showing that more than 40% of Scotland's midwives were in their 50s and 60s, she warned that the country was facing a "demographic timebomb".
She added: "There are always going to be adverse events of some kind... mothers and babies will still die for reasons we don't know and couldn't avoid.
"However, what we want is to look at all the avoidable incidents and take the learning we can from that.
"Learning from avoidable incidents in the only way we will get better."
Ms Robison told the BBC's Good Morning Scotland programme that she had full confidence in Healthcare Improvements Scotland to carry out the national review of maternity services, which will report in a few weeks' time.
She added: "Its remit will be to look into the questions being asked by families to make sure that the processes and procedures that should have been followed within Ayrshire and Arran were followed and to report to me after looking into all of those issues."
She acknowledged that she was ultimately accountable if future failures in the system were not addressed.
She said: "Accountability lies both with the board and ultimately the chief executive of that board and eventually, yes, with me. Which is why that we need to make sure that all of these adverse events are subject to review, that lessons are learned. "
A project by the Royal College of Gynaecologists (RCOG) aims to halve the number of "avoidable" stillbirths in the UK by 2020.
Its Each Baby Counts programme found 1,000 incidents of avoidable harm at birth in its first year of monitoring - with about 100 of them in Scotland.
Prof Alan Cameron, the principal investigator on the UK wide project, said: "Some of these events don't cause any harm but they are recordable as adverse events. But some can cause harm and what is key is that the service sits up to recognise that and do something about it.
"Some of the events we have looked at are staggering. Some of the reports we have read beggar belief.
"Labour is the most hazardous journey a baby makes. If something goes wrong health service staff have to act quickly. That can be alarming. This is such an acute and unpredictable specialty."
He said BBC Scotland's findings showed that health boards had different classifications for serious adverse events, and he called for consistency.
He added: "It is a concern that some areas are not doing as well as others in terms of outcomes from labour.
"I would certainly hope another Morecambe Bay would not happen again and that is why we need to put mechanisms in place to prevent it happening in future."
Filing Freedom of Information (FOI) requests to Scottish authorities is nearly always an exercise in frustration. If they are not late they are incomplete, if they don't give you what you ask for they don't give it to you at all.
My request to the country's health boards for adverse event information hit more snags than usual. The responses issued gave a patchwork quilt of data - a frustratingly blinkered view of the actual figures. The ensuing inconsistent mishmash of data ultimately boiled down to how boards had interpreted what I meant by "adverse event".
Some only returned data on "serious" adverse events - those incidents that resulted in actual loss of life. Others returned events classified as "minor", "major" or "significant" - they included anything from falls and staff shortages, to a pregnant woman involved in a "radiation incident".
The waters were muddied further by some overly enthusiastic redaction of internal adverse events reports, partial returns with some data missing, and some responses citing only annual totals without giving us an idea of the type of adverse event.
But even as a partial snapshot these figures are rather alarming. These varying returns mean we don't know exactly how many adverse events occurred, determined how they have been dealt with (to ensure that they could be avoided in future), and nor can we say with 100% certainty whether the number of adverse events in our hospitals is falling.
Lanning, 24, had been set to appear for the Surrey Stars but will remain in Australia for rehabilitation.
"The tournament concept and growth of women's cricket across the globe is fantastic and I would have loved to have taken part," the batter said.
Six teams will play 15 Twenty20 matches in a round-robin tournament when the Super League begins on 30 July.
The news comes a day after it was confirmed that England wicketkeeper Sarah Taylor, who is taking an indefinite break from the game because of anxiety issues, would not be playing for Lancashire Thunder in this year's event.
The collision happened shortly after 20:15 BST on Monday 8 June, near Baroda Street.
The Belfast Health Trust said the man was in a critical condition at the Royal Victoria Hospital and was being moved to intensive care.
The Ormeau Road was closed following the collision but has now reopened.
Messi went into the Group F game in Cyprus level on 71 goals with former Real Madrid forward Raul.
Luis Suarez had already opened the scoring with his first goal for the club when Messi diverted Rafinha's 38th-minute shot past the keeper.
Messi netted his second in the 58th-minute with a low right-foot finish before tapping home from close range.
"I am happy for having achieved such a nice record in a competition of this importance," said the 27-year-old.
"But the really relevant thing is that we took the three points.
"Barcelona played a great match."
It is Messi's second major record in four days, having scored a landmark 253rd Spanish top-flight goal with a hat-trick against Sevilla on Saturday.
Messi's latest achievement earned him glowing praise from his manager Luis Enrique.
"I'll say it again, he's the best ever in this game," said the former Spain midfielder.
Both teams finished with 10 men on Tuesday, Rafinha sent off for two bookable offences 20 minutes from time before Apoel Nicosia's Joao Guilherme followed him 14 minutes later, also for a second booking.
It was Messi's 28th Barcelona hat-trick, and his fifth in the Champions League.
The Argentina international now has 74 Champions League goals in 91 appearances in the competition.
Raul's 71 goals came in 142 games.
Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo, who is expected to line up at Basel on Wednesday in the competition, has 70 goals.
Barcelona had already qualified for the knockout stages before their visit to Cyprus.
Enrique's side are second in Group F with one game to go.
But they will advance to the last 16 as group winners if they beat current group leaders Paris St-Germain at the Nou Camp on 10 December.

Education Scotland's website now hosts previously unpublished data like where a pupil goes after leaving school.
The Scottish Parent Teacher Council welcomed the one-stop resource, but warned it could be difficult to understand.
The data can be found on the official Parentzone Scotland website.
It is being made available to try to give parents an idea of how well a particular school is doing compared to others with a similar catchment area.
One crucial piece of information which was not previously made available focuses on school leavers.
It includes information on what former pupils went on to do - for instance the proportion in a job, the proportion at university and so on - along with the level of attainment in literacy and numeracy.
There's also information on the qualifications school leavers have.
One reason for presenting the data in this way is that the emphasis is now on what a young person has attained by the time they leave school rather than how many qualifications they have at particular stages.
S4, S5 and S6 now form what's called "the senior phase" and different learners may study for qualifications at different stages.
The data from each school is set against a specially calculated comparison.
This should show whether a school is doing relatively well or badly compared to others facing similar challenges, such as the proportion of youngsters from a deprived background.
Many in education argue this is much more meaningful than, say, a national average which takes no account of the challenges each school may face.
The downside is that a "theoretical" figure like this may be less straightforward to understand.
However it is possible for this comparative figure to show that a school with relatively good exam results is actually coasting - or one with relatively poor ones is actually doing far better than others whose catchment areas face similar challenges.
Exam results have not been presented as "league tables" in Scotland for many years. Critics long argued these tables were meaningless as schools in relatively prosperous areas often tended to dominate the tables while those in deprived areas often tended to come lowest.
Scotland's biggest teaching union, the Educational Institute of Scotland, said that while there was a demand "for some measures of school performance" parents know that schools are about "far more than simply producing pass marks in exams".
A spokesman added: "Parents will always want access to a range of information relating to their own child's school and it is welcome that this is now being delivered online in an accessible format."
The Scottish Parent Teacher Council supports the principles behind the changes but believes it might be possible to improve the new website over time.
It said: "SPTC takes the view that one of the most important ways to build trust between parents and schools/local authorities is through openness and sharing: we often bemoan the poor quality information provided to parents, particularly where public information which should be freely accessible to all.
"Education Scotland's addition of school performance information to the Parentzone website is a positive step in the right direction: from our experience most parents want to know what is happening in their own child's school, and possibly how it compares with the school across town or up the road. The information on Parentzone helps parents to do that.
"SPTC has been asked to review the information and how it is presented: while we feel some of the tables, charts and language are quite difficult to understand - for example tariff scores and virtual comparators - we hope this is a positive first step, and that over time the range, relevance and accessibility of the information will improve with feedback from parents themselves, and as data builds up over the years.
"We hope more parents will use the information now it is readily available through Parentzone and that Education Scotland will listen to the comments and questions they receive from parents. At the end of the day performance data is only one aspect of the information parents want, but it is important information which helps parents ask the right questions of their school."
Mary Logie's body was found in her first-floor flat in Green Gates, Leven, at 20:00 on Tuesday 5 January. She had last been seen alive at 08:00 that day.
Police now believe Mrs Logie was killed "sometime in the morning" of that day.
BBC Scotland understands she was beaten with a rolling pin. The police said it was a "brutal and horrendous attack".
Officers said they had received a number of calls and were following various lines of inquiry.
Det Ch Insp Keith Hardie, of the Major Investigation Team, said: "As a result of this thorough inquiry, I now strongly believe that the murder was committed some time on the morning of Tuesday 5 January.
"She was last seen alive at 08:00 and so we are now focusing on the remainder of the morning.
"A great deal of activity has been taking place in and around Green Gates, and the ongoing assistance from the local community has been tremendous and vital in helping us develop our inquiries.
"Officers have spoken with various people in connection with this ongoing effort and we're not at a stage where we can release much detail about the actions being carried out.
"We must always protect the integrity of the investigation and there is information, which has to be kept within the inquiry team.
"I want to give my personal assurance to the community that our investigation is thorough and officers are doing a tremendous amount of work to ensure Mary's killer is brought to justice."
Mrs Logie, who had failed to visit a friend in hospital as planned, was described as a beloved mother, grandmother and friend by her family, who said she would be "sadly missed".
Police are continuing to carry out extra patrols in the area to reassure the public.
The man's body was found at a property in Chapelton at about 11:30 on Thursday.
Officers are carrying out inquiries to identify the man and to establish the circumstances surrounding his death.
Police are treating the death as unexplained. It is understood that forensic officers have been working at the scene.
A Police Scotland spokesman said: "A post-mortem examination will be carried out in due course to establish the exact cause of death.
"The death is being treated as unexplained and police inquiries are ongoing into the death and to establish the man's identity."

They are the second party to announce that they will not join the DUP and Sinn Féin in the Stormont executive.
Last week the UUP said they would do the same.
Enda McClafferty reports.
Appeals court Judge Mohamad Yunus said the "degrading, oppressive and inhumane" law discriminated against people with gender issues.
Gender issues and homosexuality remain taboo areas in Malaysia.
The appellants' lawyer said the ruling in the religiously conservative country would be "historic".
"This will be a precedent. This court binds all other high courts," Aston Paiva was quoted as saying by AFP news agency.
All Muslims in Malaysia are subject to Islamic laws, under a double-track legal system.
Men dressing or acting as women is illegal under those laws, with offenders facing jail terms of up to three years. Some states also forbid women dressing as men.
The appellants, all Muslims who were born male but identify as women, were arrested four years ago.
The BBC's Jennifer Pak reports that they said they had been assaulted by Islamic officers and jailed for wearing things like hair clips.
In 2012, a lower court ruled that they were born male so they had to wear men's clothing.
The women did not appear in court but one told the AFP news agency by telephone: "I am happy we won the case. I feel more relaxed now."
But the three-judge appeal panel said the section of Sharia law in Negeri Sembilan state in question "deprives the appellants of the right to live with dignity".
"It has the effect of denying the appellants and other sufferers of GID (gender identify disorder) to move freely in public place," said Judge Hishamudin Yunus.
Rights groups welcomed the decision.
"This is a win for all Malaysians, as the constitution protects us all, irrespective of ethnicity, gender and class," Ivy Josiah of the Women's Aid Organisation told Reuters. "Surely no court, civil or Sharia, can refute the fact that human dignity is paramount."
Human Rights Watch has listed Malaysia as one of the worst places in which to be a transgender person.
In a report in September, the US-based rights group said they face worsening persecution with abuses including arrest and physical and sexual assault by religious authorities and police.
The report points to instances of public shaming by forcing transgender women to take off their clothes in public and barriers to accessing healthcare, employment and education.

The remark was prompted by Fianna Fáil members after Mr Adams congratulated his Sinn Féin colleague Lousie O'Reilly on her wit.
She had just accused Fianna Fáil of having "more positions than the Kama Sutra" on the issue of water charges.
Mr Adams replied: "I am sorry I did not think of it myself.
"Fianna Fáil and the Kama Sutra - the mind boggles."
Gerry Adams' fellow Louth TD, Fianna Fáil's Declan Breathnach, responded: "I hope Deputy Adams' teddy bear is ruled out of it."
"My teddy bears are virgins,"Mr Adams replied.
Gerry Adams' relationship with his teddy bears and his online persona have long been the subject of media scrutiny.
It is difficult to talk about Bale because he is not a Real Madrid player at present
Ancelotti's comments follow reports that Real are preparing a bid in excess of the world record £80m fee they paid for Cristiano Ronaldo in 2009.
Ancelotti told a news conference at Real's training camp in Los Angeles: "I believe the club is in talks to find a solution and we will see what happens."
Bale's camp
However, it is believed no formal bid has yet been submitted by Real.
Bale, 24, reported to Tottenham's training ground on Wednesday, undergoing treatment on the leg injury which forced him to miss their last two pre-season matches.
Ancelotti, who took charge at the Bernabeu earlier this summer after leaving Paris St-Germain, was asked about the possibility of adding the Wales international to his squad this summer.
"It is difficult to talk about Bale because he is not a Real Madrid player at present," he added.
"I have never spoken to him. I do not usually talk to players who are not from my team and it would not be fair to do so."
Ex-Chelsea boss Ancelotti said former Tottenham playmaker as part of any deal for Bale.
"It is not true that Modric is going," said the Italian. "He is a very important player for us and he will be here this season."
Bale, who joined Spurs in a £10m deal from Southampton in 2007, was named as the player of the year by both the Professional Footballers' Association and Football Writers last season after scoring 26 goals for the White Hart Lane side.
Madrid have already spent in excess of £50m this summer, bringing Spanish midfielders Asier Illarramendi from Real Sociedad and Malaga's Isco for £34m and £23m respectively.
They also exercised a buy-back clause on midfielder Dani Carvajal from Bayer Leverkusen and made Brazilian midfielder Casemiro's loan from Sao Paolo a permanent deal.
The think-tank has looked at how earnings have changed since the financial crisis in 2008.
It points out that average hourly wages for all employees are still 4.7% lower than in 2008, once inflation is taken into account.
For women the real wage drop has been 2.5%, but for men it has been 7.3%.
The IFS analysis is based on an examination of the Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE).
It takes a 1% sample of all income tax returns from employed workers, but not the self-employed. The IFS compared the data from 2008 to that of 2014.
One reason for the different experience of men and women was that "female employees are significantly more likely than men to work in the public sector and, so far, mean earnings falls have been smaller in the public sector," the IFS said.
Other findings of the analysis are that:
The IFS commented though that the most recent government figures have shown that earnings are starting to rise faster than inflation, and are expected to keep on doing so this year and next.
"Almost all groups have seen real wages fall since the recession," said Jonathan Cribb of the IFS.
"The pay of young adults remains well below its pre-crisis level after particularly large falls between 2008 and 2011, while the average pay of those aged 60 and over has already recovered.
"Women have seen much smaller falls than men. Falls for the low-paid have been somewhat smaller than for those on higher pay, driven by trends since 2011," he added.
The Premier League's current leading goalscorer reaped the benefits of the loan system during his early development years, spending temporary stints at Leyton Orient, Millwall, Norwich and, of all teams, Leicester.
But he is not alone. In fact, only six of Roy Hodgson's 21-man England squad to face Germany and the Netherlands have not benefitted from a loan spell at one point in their career.
The ease of which players do so may all be about to change, though, with Fifa planning to end the current emergency loan system in England's Football League.
That would mean no more loan windows - the current one shuts on Thursday - outside of the normal transfer windows.
Fifa are scrapping it to protect the "sporting integrity of competitions" and, after a one-season reprieve from changes, the Football Association rules will now fall in line with Fifa's desire from next term onwards - something many in the Football League are not happy about.
"Where are they going to play?" Ipswich manager Mick McCarthy asked BBC Look East.
"You're only allowed three overage players in the under-21s. If you've got a squad of 24 or 25 and some need to have some football, somebody beneath us could loan one of our players - what's wrong in doing that?
"Harry Kane wouldn't be the England striker without him going to Millwall, Leicester and Norwich. Without having those experiences going out, they don't get to be the players they are today."
The changes will bring an end to 28-day and 93-day loans outside the transfer window, meaning the only loan Kane would not have been able to go on was the one to Leicester, but a different system may have meant different planning for buying clubs.
This season, McCarthy has brought in Arsenal's 18-year-old winger Ainsley Maitland-Niles, who has since gone on to make 31 appearances, a total he would probably have got nowhere near if he had stayed with the Premier League title hopefuls.
"It seems to get good young players, who are never, ever going to play in the top team's first team, some experience," said McCarthy. "Where are they going to get it?
"The big teams still won't put them in to their first team, they'll buy somebody else."
But it is not just about developing youngsters. This season, Ipswich's stuttering Championship play-off charge was given new life by bringing in midfielder Ben Pringle from Fulham in February, and he has scored the only goal in two 1-0 wins during his seven games so far.
Under the new rules, McCarthy would have needed to sign him two weeks earlier in the January transfer window.
That gives clubs a new headache to deal with.
"Once the window shuts, it shuts," said Peterborough director of football Barry Fry.
"What do clubs do? Do they carry a bigger squad to compensate for injuries or suspensions or do they go with what they've got, and if they do pick up a load of injuries, they've got to rely on their youth players. Now are the youth players good enough to make that jump into the first team?
"I can see some clubs carrying 35 or 40 players, which is far too many because they won't be able to afford them anyway and won't be able to get them off the wage bill by loaning them out. It's a crazy decision by Fifa."
However, their feelings are not shared by all in the Football League, with Exeter City manager Paul Tisdale seemingly not too fussed by the changes.
"I'm not passionate about it one way or the other," he said. "We prefer to bring our own players through and if we have the choice to play a developing player at Exeter or someone else's developing player we will go for our own.
"I'm not particularly driven to offer too much of a comment, because it's not something we often use."
One player the League Two club do have on loan is striker Jayden Stockley, signed in January and currently in his ninth loan spell away from parent club AFC Bournemouth.
He is the exact type of player the new ruling will impact. So why go out on loan in the first place?
"I wanted to get out and make my own successes and hopefully build up a career I can be proud of," he told BBC Radio Devon.
"Ultimately this is the level I need to prove myself so I'm not looking at the Premier League, that's a long way off.
"I want to climb the leagues at a steady pace, in a way in which you lay foundations at a steady pace to play higher."
Changes to the loan system may mean that young players at Premier League clubs will end up playing more of their football in the under-21s league.
But, in the words of former Stoke youngster James Alabi, if you are not a player on the verge of the first team or over the age of 18 playing in the under-21s, "you're wasting your time" because of the gap to the senior squad.
Alabi was one of the many players sent out of top-flight clubs to get some experience in the lower-leagues.
He scored 10 minutes into his Football League debut for Scunthorpe but, after a nine-game loan spell at Glanford Park, he then only made a combined total of three starts in his next four loan spells.
It is safe to say he is not a fan of short-term loans.
"As a footballer you need to settle in, get to know players well and they get to know you well," he said. "You can't make as much of an impact as you'd like to unless you have a decent few games, but in football that doesn't always happen.
"It 100% hindered my development. I felt like I didn't have enough time to show what I'd do, the month went by quickly and what happens if you get an injury or a red card?
"I went on loan and got a red card in the first game and they didn't extend the loan."
Via a brief spell at Ipswich, Alabi now finds himself at National League side Chester, where in his sixth match he scored four goals in the first half.
Whatever he or the rest of English football feels about these changes to the loan system, all of the Football League will need to adapt to the changes in a bid to unearth the next Harry Kane.
Deborah and Stephen Cross, from Londonderry, have been through four cycles of IVF treatment after being unable to conceive naturally.
One cycle of IVF is provided to Health and Social Care (HSC) patients here, compared to three in Scotland.
"The onus at present is on Michelle O'Neill," Mrs Cross said.
"In Scotland they have fully implemented the NICE guidelines and they are now providing three publically funded cycles of treatment," she said.
"In Wales they provide two (cycles). I pay my taxes, as does Stephen, I don't see any reason why we or those that face this journey shouldn't be entitled to three publically funded cycles of treatment.
"The unfairness, the inequity and the inequality in terms of that access to provision is unchallenged because it is such an emotive issue."
In England, provision of IVF treatment on the NHS varies across the health trusts.
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommends women under 40, who are struggling to conceive and who meet the right criteria, receive three full cycles of IVF treatment on the NHS to maximise their chances of getting pregnant.
Each IVF cycle can cost anywhere between £1,300 and £6,000 and offers success rates of about 1 in 3 for women under 35.
"It has been a very emotional journey over the last six years," Deborah told the BBC.
"You imagine what your child will be like … when that doesn't happen then it can be very, very hard.
"Our first cycle of IVF treatment didn't result in a pregnancy so that was probably the most difficult."
In a statement to the BBC, the Department of Health said: "In 2014 the Department endorsed the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence clinical guidelines which recommends three full cycles of publicly funded IVF, subject to certain criteria.
"However, implementation would have significant cost implications for the Health and Social Care Board, which must be carefully considered within the context of ongoing budget pressures and other competing HSC services requiring new investment in the years ahead."
Stephen Cross said that if their next treatment is unsuccessful, they will persevere with a fifth attempt.
"The desire to create a child to hold and to care for, watch them go to school. It's very difficult.
"We were going from the elation of being pregnant and seeing the baby scan to, all of a sudden in a matter of weeks, it was gone.
"As long as we have the resources we feel we will definitely continue on, but we can't continue forever," Mr Cross said.
Daryl Ackland, 36, crashed into Joseph Marchant on Bisley Road, Stroud, on 27 October.
Ackland, of Target Close, had pleaded guilty to causing death by dangerous driving and having no insurance.
He was on bail at the time for earlier offences of driving under the influence of illegal drugs and possessing heroin.
Ackland was said to be trying to get away from police who had seen him at the wheel a few moments earlier.
Judge Jamie Tabor at Gloucester Crown Court described Mr Marchant as an "exceptional man" who lived by the motto "do ordinary things extraordinarily well".
He said: "You killed him quite accidentally but through sheer recklessness. It was due to your own selfishness, pursuing your own lifestyle addicted to drugs and not caring at all for your fellow human beings."
Mr Marchant's son, Bodie Klein, described his father as an "accomplished artist" and losing him was "tragic".
Ackland was jailed for five years and four months and banned from driving for six years.
They were performing during Eid al-Adha in Somalia's capital, Mogadishu.
The four musicians are accused of holding performances which oppose Somaliland's independence.
Somaliland declared itself independent from the rest of Somalia in 1991 but this has not been recognised internationally.
The four, Nimaan Hilaa, Hamda Queen, Mahamed Ahmed Bakaal and Abdirahman Aydiid, were arrested when they returned to Somaliland's capital, Hargeisa, from Mogadishu on Sunday.
On Twitter people have started posting message of support for the musicians using the hashtag #FreeHornStars.
Somaliland's deputy Interior Minister Ahmed Adarre said they were on the payroll of the Somaliland's information ministry and were not allowed to do anything against Somaliland:
"The Somaliland artists can perform anywhere in the world but not in Somalia. They should not be involved in politics. Somaliland and Somalia have conflicts to resolve," he said.
"We are not silencing them, they can perform anywhere they want, but they have to abide by our laws."
Another prominent musician, Khadra Silimo, told the BBC that the four were not government employees and had done "nothing wrong".
"They sang love songs in Mogadishu and I don't think that should be a crime."
The five points on the white star of Somalia's flag each represent a region where ethnic Somalis live, including Somaliland.
Somaliland has its own flag.

The Black Sabbath guitarist - diagnosed with cancer in 2012 - spent a few minutes inside the "isolation box" much to the delight of nearby shoppers.
MacMillan Cancer Support was behind the exercise, which was carried out in the city's Bullring shopping centre.
"I was in a bubble for a while - just like the isolation box," said Iommi.
The chamber is made from two-way mirrors that stop the inhabitant seeing out but allow other people to look in.
Those inside the box can hear recordings of personal stories from cancer survivors.
The Birmingham-born musician, who was diagnosed with stage three lymphoma, said the box went some way to conveying the isolation he and many other cancer sufferers felt.
"When I was diagnosed I was absolutely devastated," he said.
"They're talking to me saying 'you've got stage three' and it's going in my head and I just felt somewhere else.
"And it was only later when I really broke down, I thought that's it, it's the end. And you really think that.
"But it's not. There are people who can help."
Iommi has undergone surgery and chemotherapy and said he was feeling well and looking forward to jetting off to Los Angeles to work.
Once the door shut I was surrounded by my own reflection, but if I looked closely I could make out the hustle and bustle of shoppers going about their day.
It gave the impression of being trapped in one place while everyone else's lives went on as normal.
I was very aware that everyone could see me but I could not see them - which made me a little self-conscious.
But at the same time the walls made me feel invisible.
Listening to the stories of cancer survivors was moving and the box provided was a quiet space to think about how other people could be feeling.
One of the cancer survivors who shared her story in the isolation box was Niki Meller, from Rednal in Birmingham.
She was diagnosed with breast cancer five years ago and underwent surgery and reconstruction.
"Although you have support it's a very isolating time," she said.
"During my diagnosis I had an out of body experience where I was sort of looking down on myself.
"The oncologist was saying about having chemo, surgery, radiotherapy, reconstruction, but my thoughts went to my friends and family and how they would cope with it."
New figures released by MacMillan reveal an estimated 550,000 people in the UK - 22 per cent of those living with cancer - suffer with loneliness.
A former financial services worker, he was part of a wave of young, idealistic Ukrainians who entered government after the country's 2014 pro-Western revolution.
He joined the department responsible for military procurement and reform in the ministry of economic development and trade.
But after 10 months there he resigned, angry at what he said was widespread corruption and a lack of will to do anything about it.
"In the department, I was just carrying out tasks that fulfilled other people's personal interests and corruption," he said.
According to him, defence contracts were regularly inflated or given to insiders, and those who benefited reached the highest levels of power.
Yet the conflict with pro-Russian rebels in the east has made Ukraine's military competence a vital national issue.
Mr Plakhuta is the latest in an exodus of reformers from government.
Recently Mikheil Saakashvili, the former Georgian president, resigned as governor of the Odessa region, as did the head of the national police, Khatia Dekonoidze. They complained that their reform efforts were being blocked.
Mr Plakhuta's accusations come at a sensitive time for Ukraine's leaders. In European capitals "Ukraine fatigue" has been growing, due in part to what is seen as Kiev's lack of significant movement on reform.
Ukrainian officials are on the defensive after an open electronic database for their assets revealed astonishing levels of wealth - millions of dollars in cash in safety deposit boxes, vast collections of jewellery and watches, and multiple homes and tracts of real estate.

Daily reality of Ukraine's 'frozen war'
And now Mr Plakhuta and other reformers are focusing on the defence industry. If they are right, and top officials are indeed illegally enriching themselves from the war effort, it could seriously damage the credibility of President Petro Poroshenko's government.
All this comes at a time when Kiev is growing worried that US President-elect Donald Trump might abandon Ukraine in favour of Russia, and the EU is struggling to bring an end to the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
However, any attempts to expose illegal activity immediately run up against roadblocks. Defence purchases are often considered "state secrets" and all information relating to them is off-limits.
This arrangement originated during the secretive Soviet era, but recently it has become convenient for anyone wanting to pad their pockets.
Key information, like the sale price, is unknown. And whistleblowers and journalists risk long prison sentences if they divulge any of these details.
"It's a system that was specifically created to steal something and to create corruption," said Mr Plakhuta, who now works for the Ukrainian chapter of Transparency International, an anti-corruption watchdog.
Government officials, including those in the ministry of economic development and trade, did not respond to requests to comment on his allegations.
The Ukrainian defence ministry has allocated some $500m (£395m) to purchase weapons and equipment next year.
"People need to know how much a Ukrainian tank costs to the budget and how many of them are being sold," said Oksana Syroyid, the deputy speaker of parliament and an opposition politician.
"I have papers here in this office where I can say that there appears to be corruption. But I'm unable to talk about them," she says, pointing to filing cabinets in the corner.
Even the definition of sensitive information is unclear. "The criteria for determining what's a state secret is in itself a state secret," said one lawyer, knowledgeable of the defence industry, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Nonetheless, those deals known to the public have raised questions.
According to open-source documents, Lenin Forge, a company owned by Mr Poroshenko, has sold military boats to the Ukrainian navy.
Likewise, Bogdan Motors - a company in which Ihor Gladkovsky holds an interest - has sold trucks to the army. Mr Gladkovsky is a business partner of Mr Poroshenko and serves as first deputy secretary of the country's national security and defence council.
Ukraine's defence ministry said information about the sale price, or whether a competitive tender was held, was "restricted" and a "state secret".
Officials at Bogdan Motors said that the company had signed two "minor contracts" with the defence ministry in October last year, but added no more details. Officials at Lenin Forge did not respond to questions.
The deals appear to be legal according to Ukrainian law - Mr Poroshenko and Mr Gladkovsky maintain they are not involved in the companies' daily management.
Still, questions remain. Officials did not answer whether the contracts were discussed during meetings of the national security and defence council with the two men present.
Regardless, some Western observers say it is too close for comfort.
"Do you really believe that they don't have a day-to-day involvement, even if they are part-owners? That's the litmus test," said one US defence industry insider with close ties to Ukraine. "Whether they're one, five or 10 degrees removed, they bring suspicion upon themselves."
Ukrainian officials say they are launching a major reform of the defence industry, including a restructuring of Ukroboronprom, the state-owned defence holding company.
Some changes, especially in equipment and supplies, have been felt. When the war began, Ukraine's army barely existed; now it has fought the Russian-backed militants to a standstill.
But many doubt the defence sector can be completely reformed, given that the law on state secrets will most likely stay in place for some time.
Kiev has also been pushing hard for the West to provide it weapons. But the potential for corruption has given Western officials and arms companies serious second thoughts.
"The system is rigged," said the defence industry insider.
Messi was awarded the Golden Ball after Argentina's 1-0 loss to Germany in Sunday's final in Rio de Janeiro.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Blatter believes Messi was given the award on the strength of his four goals during the group stage.
Argentina legend Diego Maradona also felt Messi was a surprise choice, claiming Colombia's James Rodriguez performed better in Brazil.
Maradona, who was named the best player when Argentina won the World Cup in 1986, said "marketing people" had chosen the wrong man and called the decision "unfair".
The Golden Ball and other individual prizes, such as the Golden Glove award for the best goalkeeper, are decided by Fifa's Technical Study Group, a panel including former Liverpool manager Gerard Houllier.
Messi set up his side's winner against Switzerland in the last 16 but was only a sporadic threat in the semi-final against Netherlands, which Argentina won on penalties after a 0-0 draw.

The Barcelona star then missed a clear chance in the final, when put through on goal by Lucas Biglia.
Messi told Spanish newspaper AS: "Right now I don't care about the prize. I wanted to take Argentina to the World Cup for all the people."
Rodriguez finished as the competition's top scorer, with six goals from five games as Colombia reached the quarter-finals, where they lost to hosts Brazil.
Fifa's Technical Study Group awarded the Silver Ball - for the tournament's second-best player - to Germany forward Thomas Muller, with Netherlands attacker Arjen Robben winning the Bronze Ball.
Germany's Manuel Neuer collected the Golden Glove, while France midfielder Paul Pogba was named the tournament's best young player.

Gross domestic product (GDP) rose a seasonally adjusted 0.7% during the final three months of 2015, which is slightly faster than an earlier central bank estimate for a 0.6% increase.
However, the figure still reflects a marked slowdown from the 1.2% growth during the previous quarter.
The benchmark Kospi Index fell 0.1% to close at 1,983.81 points.
The Bank of Korea has kept interest rates on hold again this month, despite concerns about slowing growth and unemployment.
Most major Asian markets, with the exception of Korea, Japan and China, are closed today for the Easter holiday.
Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 closed 0.7% higher at 17,002.75, while the broader Topix ended up 0.8% at 1,366.05.
This comes after data showed Japan may be making some progress in pushing up consumer prices.
Headline inflation rose 0.3% year-on-year in February, compared to zero the month earlier, matching economist estimates.
Over in China, markets were mixed. The Shanghai Composite closed up 0.62% to 2,979.43, while Hong Kong's Hang Seng benchmark closed down 1.31% to 20,345.61.
Meanwhile, Myanmar's new stock exchange begins its first day of trading today.
The bourse was launched in the capital Yangon three months ago, but as the BBC's Jonah Fisher reports, almost nothing has happened since then because only one company is listed.
Shares of a conglomerate called FMI, are available only to Burmese investors.
Those backing the exchange are hoping more companies will list soon, and that it will become an important source of capital for an economy still emerging from decades of mismanagement.
But he is not the first star to become an unlikely author for youngsters.
Here are nine of the more unexpected celebrities who took on the challenge.
Star of The Office and Extras, Ricky Gervais, is not known for his child-friendly humour. However, the British comedian decided to target a new audience with his "Flanimals" series of books.
Over a million copies have been sold since the first one was published in 2004.
There is even talk of a film, with one of the main strange creatures, Puddloflag, being voiced by Gervais himself.
But in his characteristically self-deprecating fashion, Gervais puts the success of the series down to the books being written by "a man off the telly".
Think John Travolta and you think sharp suits, the song Grease Lightning and that Pulp Fiction dance sequence with Uma Thurman.
But what you may not know is that Travolta has also tried his hand at appealing to a younger crowd.
In 1997 Travolta wrote "Propeller One Way Night-Coach: A Fable for All Ages" about a little boy who goes on a plane for the first time.
Sadly Travolta's own son Jett died, aged 16, from a seizure during a family holiday in the Bahamas in 2009.
She knows how to strike a pose and vogue, but who knew Madonna was handy with a pen as well?
The musical icon released her first book "The English Roses" in 2003, which incorporated her belief in Kabbalah throughout.
It debuted at number one on The New York Times Bestsellers List for children's picture books and stayed there for 18 weeks.
Her next two books also came in at the top of the famous chart and her sales now go into the millions.
Sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll; the saying was made for this Rolling Stone.
However, Keith Richards has a softer side to his stage persona and showed it off in his children's book "Gus & Me: The Story of My Granddad and My First Guitar".
It tells the autobiographical story of how his grandfather - jazz musician Theodore Augustus Dupree - influenced his life.
"I have just become a grandfather for the fifth time, so I know what I'm talking about," he told the New York Times.
"The bond, the special bond, between kids and grandparents is unique and should be treasured. This is a story of one of those magical moments."
Another children's author who is more than familiar with the rock 'n' roll lifestyle is TV judge and businesswoman Sharon Osbourne.
The outspoken star - married to veteran rocker Ozzy Osbourne - saw her celebrity status rise when her family took part in an MTV series following their daily lives.
And after voicing a character in the Disney Junior cartoon 'Jake and the Never Land Pirates', she wrote "Mama Hook Knows Best: A Pirate Parent's Favourite Fables" in 2013.
Sharon has said it holds a very strong message for children to listen to their parents.
Rapper 50 Cent is often found "In Da Club", or perhaps draped in Playboy bunnies.
But don't let this hard exterior fool you - there is a softer side to the man who wrote "Get Rich, or Die Tryin'"
The musician, who was famously shot nine times, wrote a novel called "Playground" in 2011.
The book sets out to teach children about bullying. The rapper - real name is Curtis James lll - has previously admitted that he bullied his schoolmates.
In the book's introduction he wrote: "That's why I wanted to tell this story, to show a kid who has become a bully, how and why that happened, and whether or not he can move past it."
What is it with rappers and children's books?
LL Cool J, or "Ladies Love Cool James", beat 50 Cent to the punch with his first children's book, released in 2002.
"And the Winner Is..." was a rap and read book, which the musician hoped would teach lessons to under-10s about humility and sportsmanship.
The book came with a CD to encourage its young readers to rap along with LL.
The personal life of the Duchess of York has often been the subject of speculation, with personal relationships and cash flow problems keeping the mother of two in the spotlight.
But Sarah Ferguson also made a name for herself as a children's author.
Her most famous series, beginning in 1989, was "Budgie the Little Helicopter". The books were also turned into an animated television series.
She now has a long list of books to her name, from the "Little Red" series to her latest work, "Ballerina Rosie".
He made his name through catty comments and celebrity blogging, but fatherhood offered Perez Hilton a chance to show another outlook on life.
In September 2011, he published "The Boy With Pink Hair".
"This story is about every kid that's ever had a dream, felt excluded, wanted to belong, and hoped that one day they could do what they loved and make a difference," he said.
Who knows what the Hollywood stars thought of it.
Jennifer Longford was the only child of Frances Stevenson, Lloyd George's secretary and mistress.
She knew him as her grandfather but had strong suspicions he was her father.
Family pictures showing the pair together have been revealed five years after Ms Longford's death at 82.
Lloyd George, who was the MP for Carnarvon Boroughs, was notorious for his affairs and wed Ms Stevenson after the death of his wife Margaret.
Ms Longford was born 1929 and was told she was adopted after her parents were killed.
The auction is being held Dreweatts & Bloomsbury in London on 23 March
The lots include family pictures, a collection of cards and letters exchanged between Lloyd George, Frances Stevenson and Jennifer Longford, and a solicitors letter showing Jennifer Lonford's adoption

United were 3-0 up at half-time with Tony Kane scoring two and Joe McKinney netting the other while Dungannon's Andrew Burns got an early red card.
Kris Lowe pulled a goal back for Dungannon on 64 minutes but Johnny McMurray restored the three-goal gap.
Jamie Glackin got a second while Kyle Owens headed a fifth for Ballymena who will play Glenavon in Friday's final.
Dungannon, who finished seventh in the Irish Premiership, had gone into the match on the back of four straight league victories.
But they made a terrible start as Kane's shot took a lucky bounce which beat Swifts keeper Stuart Addis for Ballymena's third-minute opener.
Things quickly got worse as Burns was dismissed for a dangerous tackle on Leroy Millar in the fifth minute.
McKinney got his first goal for Ballymena with a curling shot to make it 2-0 and Kane's penalty - after Dougie Wilson's pull back on McMurray - had David Jeffrey's men three up at the break.
Lowe rifled a low shot past United keeper Ross Glendinning in the 64th minute but McMurray got Ballymena's fourth by converting Willie Faulkner's cross.
Glackin steered a shot for Dungannon's second but United defender Owens headed in from a corner for 5-2.
The 21-year-old has scored hat-tricks in his last three matches for the Tigers' development side.

The BBC has spoken to one man who says four members of his family were killed in a night raid involving the SAS in 2011.
The Sunday Times has also reported other allegations of unlawful killing by British special forces.
An investigation into British troops' conduct in Afghanistan began in 2015.
In 2016, the Ministry of Defence said about 600 complaints against British forces in Afghanistan had been made, relating to a period between 2005 and 2013.
The MoD says 90% of those have already been dismissed, with fewer than 10% still the subject of investigation by the Royal Military Police under Operation Northmoor.
The man, who did not want to be named, told the BBC he was held, blindfolded, in a room overnight.
"Early morning, they came and opened my eyes and said to me that I should not go out until they left the area. When the helicopters left the area we came out of the room.
"As soon as I came out of the room I saw that they had shot my father, two brothers and cousin."
The BBC has been told the raid did involve special forces and is now being investigated.
A former British Army intelligence officer, Chris Green, who served in Afghanistan, said he had been blocked when he tried to look into allegations of abuses by special forces officers.
"British forces, and the troops that I worked with, worked under very very strict rules of engagement and it seemed to me that special forces did not have to apply the same rules in quite the same way," he said.
"My overview of their accountability was - I didn't see any.
"When I sought information from them, this wall of secrecy was put in front of me and I could see no good reason why the information I was asking for was denied from me and nor could they give me a good reason for denying me that information."
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and the former director of public prosecutions, Lord Macdonald, are among those who have called for an independent inquiry into the claims.
"Our armed forces have a reputation for decency and bravery," said Mr Corbyn.
"If we do not act on such shocking allegations we risk undermining that reputation, our security at home and the safety of those serving in the armed forces abroad."
The former head of the army, General Lord Richard Dannatt, said people shouldn't jump to conclusions.
"No witch hunts, but no cover ups," he said.
"If there is evidence of wrongdoing, it should be investigated, but we should be very, very careful of throwing mud at our very special, special forces."
Allegations of widespread abuse in Iraq have already been mostly discredited and that investigation is now closed.
It is understood the 26-year-old was discovered by warehouse workers at Eurocentral near Bellshill.
The Home Office said immigration enforcement was contacted by Police Scotland at about 14:20 on Thursday.
A spokesman added that the man had now been interviewed by immigration officers.
The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that missiles had hit a public square in the rebel-held village of al-Janudiya.
Many people had gathered there to go shopping, the group added.
Al-Janudiya is situated in the west of Idlib province, which is now almost completely controlled by rebel forces.
An alliance including al-Qaeda's affiliate in Syria, the al-Nusra Front, seized control of the provincial capital at the end of March, and the major town of Jisr al-Shughour, near al-Janudiya, a month later.
The rebels are now advancing on the Mediterranean coastal province of Latakia, a stronghold of President Bashar al-Assad and his Alawite sect.
The Syrian Observatory and the Local Co-ordination Committees (LCC), an opposition activist network, both said government aircraft had attacked al-Janudiya on Monday.
The LCC put the death toll at 60 and warned that it was likely to rise because some of the dozens of wounded people were in a critical condition.
Syrian government officials have so far not commented on the reports.
The LCC also reported that several people had been killed on Monday in a government air strike in the town of Taftanaz, in eastern Idlib, and that four others had died when government helicopters dropped barrel bombs in the town of Tal Rifaat, in neighbouring Aleppo province.
The UN says more than 220,000 people have been killed since the uprising against Mr Assad began four years ago. Almost 12 million others have been displaced.
Jockey Ryan Moore partnered the Sir Michael Stoute-trained favourite to victory from Wicklow Brave and Elidor on his Chester debut.
Dartmouth could now represent Stoute - looking for a 10th Hardwicke Stakes victory - at Royal Ascot in June.
"I should think he's got to dip his toe into a slightly bigger pool now," said the Queen's racing manager John Warren.
"I think the way things are going, he's going to take his chance in an upgrade again."
The four-year-old carried a 3lb penalty into the race as a result of victory in the John Porter Stakes last month.
Jockey Moore added: "He's done well. He's progressed and I'm really pleased with him. It wouldn't really be his track but he enjoyed himself."

It comes after National Autistic Society Cymru criticised "patchy" provision for the 34,000 people with autism and Asperger syndrome in Wales.
It said nearly two-thirds of people wait too long for diagnosis and it wants targets to back up the strategy.
The Welsh government said the new service would be more joined up.
64% had issues in obtaining a referral
30% waited less than six months for a first appointment
23% waited six months to a year
44% rated the assessment process as poor or very poor
73% were not given written information about autism
On Tuesday, the National Autistic Society argued Wales needed its own Autism Act, similar to those in England and Northern Ireland, and called for all Welsh political parties to commit to one before May's assembly elections.
Welsh Conservative leader, Andrew RT Davies, has backed that call.
He said: "Wales is crying out for an Autism Bill to ensure people with autism have additional support and to improve understanding of the condition, and prioritise timely diagnosis through statutory means".
An independent analysis of the current Welsh strategy, published last month, said despite improvements, and Wales leading the way in the UK in forming policies, there were weaknesses and it lacked impact.
This included a lack of priorities which created "islands of good practice" rather than systemic change.
The new service, which is backed by £6m from the Welsh government, will be rolled out over the next three years.
It will be a key part of an action plan, which is a refreshed version of one launched eight years ago, and aims to bring together the agencies and health workers involved in supporting people with autism to provide an improved, joined-up service.
The new service will:
Health Minister Mark Drakeford said it would ensure people with autism received "the right support, by the right professional, in the right place, at the right time".
He added: "It will ensure there is consistency across the country, ensuring people with autism are able to access comparable services across Wales."
The "refreshed" action plan will focus on areas such as raising awareness, improving assessment and addressing support issues, including in education and careers support. | China's slowdown has gouged a big hole in the Australian government's budget, a new report said.

His seven-year prison sentence has now been thrown out by judges in Milan, in the so-called "Ruby" case.
Last year a court found that he had paid for sex with a 17-year-old nightclub dancer, Karima El-Mahroug, known as "Ruby the Heartstealer".
Berlusconi is doing community service after being sentenced for tax fraud.
That was a separate case involving his business empire Mediaset. Berlusconi, 77, helps out once a week at a home for people with Alzheimer's disease.
He began doing that service in May - and so far it is the only final judgment against him, despite various other court cases.
In the Ruby case both Berlusconi and Ms El-Mahroug denied having had sex.
During the trial reports emerged of raunchy "bunga-bunga" parties at his private villa attended by showgirls. Some of the female guests however described them as "elegant dinner parties".
Berlusconi, a billionaire tycoon and veteran politician, was also acquitted of a charge that he abused his prime ministerial powers by pressuring the police to free Ms El-Mahroug when she was in custody.
In another separate case he is accused of having bribed a senator.
As a result of the conviction over Mediaset he was banned from holding political office for two years and expelled from the Senate.
Reacting to Friday's verdict in Milan, Berlusconi's lawyer said it "goes beyond our rosiest expectations".
Berlusconi was in power three times as prime minister, dominating Italian politics. He still heads the right-wing Forza Italia party.
The acquittal may enable him to remain a strong influence in politics and may also help centre-left Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, observers say, as Forza Italia may be less inclined to block the government's reforms.
"This ruling will bring people together. We will be calmer working in future and be more united between ourselves and with all of the centre-right," said Lucio Malan, a Forza Italia senator, quoted by AFP news agency.
Prosecutors can still challenge the acquittal at the highest criminal court, the Court of Cassation, the Associated Press reports. | Italian former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has won an appeal against his conviction for paying for sex with an underage prostitute. | 28,369,408 | 543 | 32 | false |
With almost all the votes now counted, the 'No' side passed the winning total of 1,852,828 needed to win the referendum just after 6am on Friday morning.
The Yes camp has had some victories, including in Glasgow and Dundee, but not enough to secure victory overall.
Talks will now begin on giving more powers to Scotland.
After weeks of campaigning across the country, Scottish voters made their decision yesterday by answering yes or no to the question: "Should Scotland be an independent country?"
It was the first time people aged 16 and 17 were allowed to vote in a UK referendum.
85% of people registered turned up to vote - a record high for an election or referendum.
The final margin of victory for the pro-UK Better Together campaign was 55% to 45%.
Scotland has been part of the UK for more than 300 years, so the vote was a huge moment for the country.
MPs from the three main political parties in Westminster say - even with a NO vote the result will mean big changes across the UK.
The leader of the 'Yes' campaign, Scotland's First Minister, Alex Salmond, has accepted defeat and called on Westminster to deliver on their promise of more powers for the Scottish Parliament.
The Prime Minister, David Cameron, says he's congratulated Alistair Darling, who is the leader of pro-UK Better Together campaign.
The 25-year-old tested positive for a banned substance and was sent home from the tour of New Zealand last week.
Sports Minister Dayasiri Jayasekera told parliament that authorities will send a B sample to the International Cricket Council for testing.
"We are doing all we can to defend him," said the minister.
"We are wondering if this allegation is a conspiracy to keep him out of next year's T20 World Cup."
Jayasekera added that Sri Lanka President Maithripala Sirisena had spoken to Perera, who was withdrawn from the series in New Zealand which comprises two Tests, five one-day internationals and two Twenty20 internationals.

It's the last of the grouping of the world's largest economies, the G20, to open up its market to foreigners. Until now, they were only able to indirectly buy shares and would only get the economic benefits.

But don't hold your breath. Major emerging market players are not quite queuing around the bourse yet.
That's because there are a multitude of rules to determine who can invest in the gradual opening-up of the Middle East's biggest stock market.
They appear to be quite restrictive. Only institutions that manage $5bn (£3.2bn) of assets (or $3bn if the regulator makes an exception) with a five-year investment record will be given the green light for now.
No single investor can own more than 5% of a company and overall foreign ownership of that company cannot top 49%. Overall, only 10% of equity in the stock exchange, called the Tadawul, can be foreign-owned.
Despite that, buying into the stock market - which is up 15% already this year - is a mouth-watering prospect for qualifying investors.

Investors will also appreciate Saudi Arabia's strong economy. Over the past few years, high oil profits have been used to wipe out the country's debt and build its foreign reserves to 100% of GDP.
There's a growing middle class, salaries keep rising and spending on healthcare and education remains a priority for King Salman. Economists predict the non-oil sector will continue its impressive growth rate, at around 5% this year.

So why then, are some experts sceptical about what the level of take-up will actually be?
One Middle East-based equities and portfolio manager told me he thought there would be fewer than a dozen institutions certified to invest to begin with, while another boss of a Saudi-based asset management company thinks only half the $50bn of investments on offer to foreigners will be taken up over the next two years.
One reason could be that, as a consequence of high earnings, company valuations are on the high side for investors although they could be justified by potentially offering higher growth rates.
Another possible deterrent is the mandatory requirement that money must be settled up front rather than within two days of the investment, as is the case in other stock markets.
The stock market can also fall sharply as a result of the volatile price of oil in the very short term, though it tends to recover quickly too. Over the last 12 months, oil prices have dropped around 40% and the stock market is down only 2%.
One very experienced international asset manager believes that big pension funds and insurance companies are likely to wait and see how the reforms bed in first.
To be clear, very few doubt this opening is a good move, just that it will take time.
Looking ahead, interest may shoot up in a few years if Saudi moves on from its frontier market status to join the most widely followed emerging markets index, the MSCI.
Mohieddine Kronfol, a founding partner of Franklin Templeton Investments ME, believes a great journey has begun.
He says it could eventually lead to an energised debt market and also predicts that pressure will increase for domestic political and social reforms from ethical investors of the future.
Which is why Facebook is moving quickly to get ahead in its running battle with Adblock Plus, a company that offers software that blocks ads from appearing to its 100 million or so users.
Last week, Facebook made tweaks to its news feed so that the way Adblock Plus (and other similar software) “spotted” ads no longer worked, essentially tricking the blocking software into thinking ads were just normal posts.
In response, Adblock Plus - drawing on the open source community - came up with a workaround.
The company wrote on Thursday that “for this round of the cat-and-mouse contest, looks like the mouse won."
The mouse was barely into its cheese when Facebook vowed to hit back.
The firm’s head of advertising, Andrew Bosworth - known as Boz - wrote on Twitter that "these new attempts don’t just block ads but also posts from friends and Pages.
"We plan to address the issue."
Boz and his advertising team didn’t take long. By Thursday evening, only a few hours after Adblock Plus made its workaround public, the site began rolling out new code that meant Adblock Plus's workaround no longer worked.
“We’re disappointed that ad blocking companies are punishing people on Facebook as these new attempts don’t just block ads but also posts from friends and Pages," the company said in a statement.
"Ad blockers are a blunt instrument, which is why we’ve instead focused on building tools like ad preferences to put control in people’s hands.”
Adblock Plus is a controversial company. While initial ad blockers were all about stopping annoying, sometimes harmful, pop-up ads - Adblock Plus is a far more sophisticated fare. It’s able to skim out pre-roll adverts on videos, as well as remove some non-intrusive advertising on pages.
Non-intrusive is a matter of opinion, of course - some would consider any advertising a unwelcome part of their browsing experience. Particularly in the case of Google and Facebook who have built their vast fortunes on producing targeted ads that require masses of data collection and tracking.
But it’s why Google and Facebook are free to use - and most certainly always will be. The money has to come from somewhere, and right now it’s advertising.
Where Adblock Plus stirs real controversy is in its business model.
The software doesn’t block ads on all sites. The company has a whitelist. To get on it, a site has to pay Adblock Plus.
Some call it extortion - the company disagrees, saying it plays an important role in keeping online advertising in check.
Facebook has said it will not be paying to be whitelisted, Boz wrote earlier this week.
"Rather than paying ad blocking companies to unblock the ads we show - as some of these companies have invited us to do in the past - we’re putting control in people’s hands with our updated ad preferences and our other advertising controls."

The Kiwis won 9-2 at London's Olympic Stadium on Saturday to level the Test series 1-1 before next Saturday's sold-out match in Wigan.
"We played half well today - in defence - but in the attacking half struggled to gain momentum," said McNamara.
"The result was disappointing but there is not much between the two teams."
McNamara's side won the opening Test 26-12 in Hull and took an early lead through a Gareth Widdop penalty in front of 44,393 fans.
But they failed to add any more points as New Zealand scored the only try of the game through Shaun Kenny-Dowall after the break.
The Kiwis forced 14 repeat sets as they built pressure close to the English line.
"I'm hugely proud of the way we defended for huge parts of the game and restricted New Zealand to one try," added McNamara. "But the problem was we had too much of it to do.
"Some of the errors we made were really basic and we put pressure on ourselves.
"We came here to really go for this game. That was the plan, not sit and make it happen, but the other team were pretty good as well."
England thought they had scored a crucial try under the posts late in the game which, if converted, would have levelled the scores at 8-8.
Australian official Gerard Sutton awarded a try on the field but sent it up for review and, after several minutes of studying the incident, the decision was overturned by video referees Phil Bentham and James Child.
They ruled that prop James Graham had not grounded the ball properly - a decision that was greeted by boos from the home crowd.
The England camp were very unhappy with the decision and afterwards Graham said: "You will have to find a physicist and ask him about downward pressure."
McNamara added: "The referee on the field awarded it. I've looked at it a lot of times. They obviously found enough reason to disallow it. I'll have to back their judgement on that, but it was a bit strange."
The Kiwis were understandably unwilling to criticise the decision.
Co-skipper Isaac Luke said: "I was not really surprised the decision changed, in this day and age there are different interpretations."
Kiwi coach Stephen Kearney felt that the call evened things up after some decisions had gone against his team during their defeat in the opening Test.
"From my point of view, I did not see complete downward movement with the hands, so, yes, that's football," he said.
"A couple of calls did not go our way last week. We were fortunate today, which makes for a share of good luck."
Earlier in the week Kearney named the starting XIII that played in Hull.
Watching his team in training, though, he decided to make a change. On Thursday he told Tuimoala Lolohea that he would not be playing at scrum-half with 21-year-old Kodi Nikorima replacing him.
Nikorima had a decent game and almost scored a try late on, but spilled the ball close to the line.
"I just got a feeling over the course of the week," explained Kearney.

"It was a big decision in the sense that Tui had done nothing wrong, I just thought that for this game Kodi would be a better fit."
Kearney warned his team they would have to improve once again before next Saturday (13:00 GMT kick-off).
"I thought our attitude in defence was a big difference. Right from the kick-off there was a different level of commitment," he said.
"I still think England are a good footy team and we have to treat them with respect.
"Our performance from today will not be good enough next week - England will be looking to improve and it makes it a real challenge."
One alleged victim told the BBC he felt "dirty and embarrassed" after being regularly assaulted at a surgery in Whitchurch in the 1970s.
"Tom", not his real name, said the abuse was carried out between the ages of nine and 13 when his mother was in the room and later when he was alone.
He said he had spoken out because he wanted others to come forward.
More updates on this story
A second alleged victim, who also wanted to remain anonymous, said he was abused by the same GP during the same era, from the age of 13 until about 18.
He said he had buried what happened for many years believing he was responsible and only talked about it five years ago during counselling.
"Tom" said it had taken 40 years to talk about what happened. He said he remembered coming home from the GP's surgery feeling "dirty, embarrassed and used".
"The first time I was examined I was nine-years-old and my mother was in the room and I was taken behind a big old heavy hospital-type screen."
He said things moved on "systematically" and things got "more intense" once he was examined on his own while his mother waited outside the room.
"I didn't know any different. I thought that's how doctors are, that's what doctors do, and it was only when it stopped happening that I thought, I started to wonder," he said.
"Tom's" story first appeared in the Whitchurch Herald but he has since spoken to other people who also claim they were sexually abused by the GP.
They include boys, girls and young women, said Victoria Neale from Hudgell Solicitors.
She appealed for anyone else to come forward.
West Mercia Police said it had received five reports of non-recent sexual offences in Whitchurch and investigations were ongoing.
Chris Bown was made managing director after a £6m public inquiry published criticisms of the standard of care at Stafford Hospital.
The hospital was renamed the County Hospital, and a new trust set up to replace Mid Staffordshire NHS Trust.
The trust now running the hospital said Mr Bown's job was always "an interim role".
The University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust said its management structure was now being "reviewed".
The health watchdog, the Care Quality Commission, has yet to inspect Stafford County Hospital.
Mr Bown, who was appointed in September, is leaving to become Interim Chief Executive of East Kent Hospitals University NHS Trust.
Mr Bown said: "During my time here I have been hugely impressed with the commitment and expertise of the staff.
"I believe County Hospital and the wider trust have a strong future and I look forward to seeing them both go from strength to strength."
Former Chelsea boss Grant, 59, has been discussing his financial package with the Ghana Football Association (GFA).
There had been concerns his Israeli nationality could pose access problems to some North African countries.
GFA president Kwesi Nyantekyie told BBC Sport "that is an issue" but says the two parties will deal with it.
"The holder of an Israeli passport will not only be denied entry into North African countries, he will be denied into some Arab countries," he said.
"He has brought an alternative way of dealing with it. There is a satisfactory arrangement to arrest his threat. Very soon, in a matter of months, we should clear that."
Nyantekyie confirmed Grant has met with the GFA in Accra and said it is "almost certain" the two parties will reach a deal.
"By the time we finish with our game against Togo, we should have an agreement in place," he said.
Grant will be given a two-year contract, and Nyantekyie says the GFA is confident he has the profile to succeed in the role.
"He is a motivator. He has the capacity and skill to manage egos and top players and these are some of the challenges that the Black Stars team is going through.
"He has the strength, he has a strong mentality. He feels in Africa most of the players lack the passion or the mentality even though they have the skill. We hope he will be able to instil these qualities so that we will win trophies."
Grant took Chelsea to the final of the 2008 European Champions League, in which they were beaten by Manchester United, and also had a four-year spell in charge of Israel's national side.
The Black Stars have been without a permanent coach since Kwesi Appiah left after the opening two 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, with Maxwell Konadu leading the team on a temporary basis.
Ghana midfielder Andre Dede Ayew said: "If Avram Grant comes to Ghana, we will support him. He is a good coach, he has coached big clubs and hopefully he will help Ghana.
"What is most important is that we win trophies - and anybody that is going to bring trophies, I will be with the person whether he is big, small or whatever.
"If he is coming to Ghana, I know he will feel the Ghanaian pressure, he will know that Ghana is a country which needs to win because we have not won a trophy in a long while."
Ghana missed an opportunity to qualify for the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations after losing 1-0 to Uganda in Group E in Kampala on Saturday.
The group will be decided after the final round of matches on Wednesday.
Amir, 24, served half of a six-month prison sentence and was banned for five years for a spot-fixing offence against England at Lord's in August 2010.
The fast bowler has not played in a Test since then but is available for the four-match series against England which starts in July.
"The way he has been bowling, he is there," Misbah said.
"You look at his bowling speed, his swing, his control - they're all there. He can still be the best bowler in the world."
The left-armer, along with then Test captain Salman Butt and new-ball partner Mohammad Asif, was found guilty of corruption by the International Cricket Council (ICC) in February 2011, and sent to prison in November of the same year following a criminal trial at Southwark Crown Court in London.
Amir, who was banned for bowling deliberate no balls for money, became eligible to play again last September, and his left-arm swing variations have already impressed sufficiently to be recalled for the ICC World Twenty20 this spring.
"Whatever form of the game he has played since his comeback, he has done well," Misbah added.
"He knows he is under pressure, but he is handling it well."
Amir was Pakistan's Player of the Series against England in 2010 after taking 19 wickets at an average of 18.36.
The first Test begins at Lord's on 14 July.
His party, AKP, is meeting to try to form a government after losing its majority in a general election for the first time in 13 years.
It secured 41%, a sharp drop from 2011, and must form a coalition or face entering a minority government.
Mr Erdogan has called on all parties to "preserve the atmosphere of stability" in Turkey.
"I believe the results, which do not give the opportunity to any party to form a single-party government, will be assessed healthily and realistically by every party," Mr Erdogan said.
The AKP is now likely to try to form a coalition, but no party has yet indicated it is willing to join forces with it.
Opposition parties may yet try to form a coalition against the AKP.
But Numan Kurtulmus, one of Turkey's four deputy prime ministers, said there would be no government without representation by the AKP.
Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu is meeting AKP cabinet members and officials to assess the election results in Ankara.
After the official final result is declared, he will have 45 days to form a government.
Mr Kurtulmus said another election was possible.
This is potentially a new political era in Turkey.
The AKP still won this election, with over 40% of the vote - a share of the vote that parties in any democracy would crave.
It still has a substantial power base, mainly of the more religious, conservative Turks, who feel liberated by the party and the president.
But the AKP's dominance, the one-man political show that has played out in Turkey for 13 years and polarised this nation, has just taken a very big kick.
Turkey: Bloody nose for Erdogan
Profile: Recep Tayyip Erdogan
The result is a blow to Mr Erdogan's plans to boost his office's powers.
He had been seeking a two-thirds majority to turn Turkey into a presidential republic.
The pro-Kurdish HDP crossed the 10% threshold, securing seats in parliament for the first time.
"The discussion of executive presidency and dictatorship have come to an end in Turkey with these elections," said HDP leader Selahattin Demirtas.

On Monday morning, the Turkish currency fell to near-record lows against the dollar, and shares dropped by more than 8% soon after the Istanbul stock exchange opened.
The central bank acted quickly to prop up the lira by cutting the interest rate on foreign currency deposits.

Seven civilians, one UN peacekeeper and four soldiers are among the dead, the army says.
UN General Jean Baillaud said it was suspected that the attack was carried out by a Ugandan Islamist group, the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF).
The ADF is based in north-east DR Congo after being pushed out of Uganda.
One local civil society group put the death toll at 38.
Activists who have spoken to witnesses tell a gruesome story of around 40 attackers entering the town of Eringeti on Sunday and killing indiscriminately, including inside the clinic, reports the BBC Maud Jullien in DR Congo.
The seven civilians who died were all killed in the clinic.
The attackers also blocked the town's military base and a position of the UN peacekeeping mission, while others looted shops and the clinic.
They then left in the middle of the night, having raided and burned down a large number of houses.
Our correspondent has been told that most of the town's population of about 20,000 have fled.
Gen Baillaud says this was the most serious attack in the area in months, but there has been a spate of raids recently as rebels have been stocking up on vital goods.
The ADF was formed in 1996 by a puritanical Muslim sect in the Ruwenzori mountains of western Uganda.
In 1998 it increased its activities and a number of bomb blasts in markets and restaurants in Kampala were blamed on the group.
After years of sporadic raids, the Ugandan army almost destroyed the ADF's capacity over 10 years ago and it moved its base DR Congo, where it has formed alliances with some of the many armed groups based in eastern DR Congo.
The US Commerce Department revised its fourth quarter GDP to upward from an initial estimate of 0.7%.
Overall, the US economy is estimated to have grown at a rate of 2.4% for all of 2015.
One reason for the revised figure was greater consumer spending than officials initially thought, boosted by an improving labour market.
Analysts had expected the fourth quarter growth rate to remain unchanged from the last estimate of 1%.
"It's especially good that we saw a boost in consumption, however we are only talking about 1.4% growth, which is still anaemic compared to the 3.5% we would like to see," said Dan North, chief economist at Euler Hermes North America.
"The economy is still running in low gear," he said.
Increased employment has helped to slowly boost wages and housing prices, while low oil prices have increased discretionary spending by US households.
The stronger growth rate could increase the chances of an interest rate hike when the Federal Reserve meets in April. The central bank left rates unchanged at its meeting in March, saying the slowing global economy raised risks for the US market.
US corporate profits dipped 11.5% for the fourth quarter compared to the same October through December period in the previous year.
Companies were hurt by low oil prices, with some industrial and petroleum linked companies forced to cut their workforces or file for bankruptcy.
Hamilton, who missed most of Friday's second after a crash, was off the German's pace throughout and ended up fourth, half a second off the pace.
The Briton unusually took a second set of new tyres late in the session but made the latest in a series of errors.
Red Bull's Max Verstappen was second - just 0.002 seconds slower than Rosberg.
The Dutchman's team-mate Daniel Ricciardo was third ahead of the Ferraris of Kimi Raikkonen and Sebastian Vettel.
Ricciardo was 0.463secs slower than Verstappen but did not do a qualifying simulation run late in the session.
Hamilton will be spending the break before qualifying at 13:00 BST working with his engineers on improving the car, on a track at which he has excelled since the start of his F1 career.
The world champion has won at the Hungaroring four times - sharing the record with Michael Schumacher - and came into the weekend determined to take Mercedes' first win here in the hybrid era after difficult races in 2014 and 2015.
Hamilton is one point behind Rosberg in the championship and wants to go into the summer break after next weekend's German Grand Prix with a lead.
But the crash on Friday afternoon appears to have set him back this weekend.
He felt on Friday afternoon that he would be able to recover from the accident, which happened after only 10 minutes of the second session and forced him to sit out the rest of it.
But he did not look comfortable out on track on Saturday morning, making a series of mistakes.
Hamilton was nearly a second off Rosberg after the set-up work of the first 40 minutes was completed, after which he complained of overheating in the cockpit.
His seat was changed before Hamilton headed out for the qualifying simulation laps in the final minutes of the session but he ended up 0.508secs behind Rosberg.
At that point, he returned to the pits for a second new set of tyres, presumably to try the car again to see if he could improve, but ran off the track at the fast, blind-entry Turn Four and failed to improve.
Fernando Alonso was an impressive seventh for McLaren, narrowly ahead of Williams' Valtteri Bottas, Force India's Sergio Perez and a strong performance from Jolyon Palmer in the Renault.
The Englishman was two places and 0.054secs ahead of team-mate Kevin Magnussen.

Companies now have permission to bid to redevelop the square, after approval by Swansea council on Thursday.
A developer has already submitted proposals to build three "quality restaurants" there and refurbish the site.
Council leader Rob Stewart said the square was "tired" but could be transformed.
The city park would form part of the planned regeneration of Swansea which was unveiled by the council in January.
A public open spaces notice will now be published, giving people the chance to give their views.
Proposals will then be invited, with the council to consider whether the schemes could affect public access or events.
Mr Stewart said: "Castle Square is looking tired, but it's a key location that has the potential to become a special destination in a revitalised Swansea city centre.
"If cabinet agrees to the consideration of redevelopment opportunities at Castle Square, then a marketing exercise could lead to the potential for private investment, which would be a good thing.
"This would reduce costs to the taxpayer, but we will also protect public access and usage in any future scheme."
The council said preliminary discussions have also started with retailers, restaurants, cinema operators and housing developers as part of the redevelopment of the St David's and Civic Centre sites.
Almost 2,000 pregnant women now have the virus, Colombia's National Health Institute said, out of the more than 20,000 people infected across Colombia.
The mosquito-borne virus has been linked to babies being born with abnormally small brains.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has warned Zika is "spreading explosively", predicting up to 4m cases this year.
Colombia says it expects the overall number of people to be infected to rise to more than 500,000 by the end of 2016.
On Monday, the WHO meets to decide whether Zika should be treated as a global emergency.
Brazil has been worst affected by the outbreak, followed by Colombia, but more than 20 other countries have seen cases.
Jamaica and Peru reported their first confirmed cases over the weekend, with Peruvian President Ollanta Humala urging calm and stressing that the patient contracted the disease outside of the country.
Zika: What you need to know
Mothers' fears amid outbreak
Tracing the origins of Zika
Zika symptoms are mild, causing a low fever, joint pain, headaches, a rash and conjunctivitis.
But concern surrounds a surge in babies born with microcephaly, or abnormally small heads, from mothers infected with Zika. A link has not been confirmed.
Colombia has also said it has seen an increase in cases of Guillain-Barre syndrome, a rare disorder that can cause temporary paralysis, that has also been linked to Zika.
The outbreak has sparked health warnings and eradication campaigns, with Brazil deploying troops and Colombia launching a mass fumigation campaign to fight mosquitoes.
Colombia and other Latin American countries have advised women to delay getting pregnant for the moment.
Kim Jong-il, North Korea's "Dear Leader", was in the process of grooming Kim Jong-un as his successor when he died on 17 December 2011.
Immediately after his father's death, the younger Kim was hailed as "the great successor". He was named head of the party, state and army within a fortnight of his father's death.
In January 2016, Mr Kim shot to global headlines again when he oversaw what the regime claimed was an underground hydrogen bomb test - its second nuclear test since he came to power.
Previously, his most high-profile act had been to purge and execute his uncle, Chang Song-thaek, who state media said had been plotting a coup, in December 2013.
Little is still known about the elusive young man who is the youngest son of Kim Jong-il and his late third wife Ko Yong-hui.
Born in 1983 or early 1984, he was initially not thought to be in the frame to take up his father's mantle.
Analysts focused their attention on his half-brother Kim Jong-nam and older full brother Kim Jong-chol.
However Kim Jong-nam's deportation from Japan in May 2001 and middle brother Kim Jong-chol's apparent "unmanliness" improved his chances.
Analysts saw him as the coming man after he was awarded a series of high-profile political posts.
Swiss-educated like his brothers, Kim Jong-un avoided Western influences, returning home when not in school and dining out with the North Korean ambassador.
After his return to Pyongyang, he is known to have attended the Kim Il-sung Military University.
His mother was thought to be Kim Jong-il's favourite wife, and she clearly doted on her son, reportedly calling him the "Morning Star King".
In his 2003 book, I Was Kim Jong-il's Chef, a Japanese man writing under the pseudonym Kenji Fujimoto also claimed that Kim Jong-un was his father's favourite.
In August 2010 Kim Jong-il visited China. One South Korean TV station cited a South Korean official as saying Kim Jong-un had accompanied his father on the trip.
Some reports speculated that he had been anointed successor partly because of his resemblance to North Korea's founder Kim Il-sung.
A few North Korea watchers went so far as to say that he may have had plastic surgery to enhance the resemblance, in a country where the deification of the Kim family is at the heart of its grip on power.
Mr Kim made his first public speech as North Korea marked the 100th anniversary of the birthday of Kim Il-sung on 15 April 2012, praising the "military first" doctrine and vowing the time his nation could be threatened was "forever over".
"Superiority in military technology is no longer monopolised by imperialists," he said, adding: "We have to make every effort to reinforce the people's armed forces."
Not much was known of Mr Kim's personal life until television footage of an unidentified woman attending events with him surfaced. In July 2012, state media announced that Mr Kim was married to "Comrade Ri Sol-ju".
Little is know of Ms Ri, but her stylish appearance - short, chic haircut and Western dress - led some analysts to suggest that she was from an upper-class family and that she fits Mr Kim's efforts to project a more relaxed image compared to his predecessors.
Details surrounding the marriage of Mr Kim to Ms Ri remain unclear. Most reports had suggested that Ms Ri may have been a singer who caught Mr Kim's attention during a performance.
Aside from attending official events, the couple's public appearances have included visits to an amusement park and watching a concert featuring Disney characters.
American basketball star Dennis Rodman, who met Mr Kim in 2013 and 2014, told The Guardian newspaper that Mr Kim had a daughter.
In 2012, Mr Kim was appointed marshal - the highest military rank - following a high-level military reshuffle in which army chief Ri Yong-ho was removed.
Since then some of North Korea's actions have elicited condemnation from the international community.
A few months into his leadership, in April 2012, North Korea launched a rocket which it said would put a satellite into orbit. The unsuccessful launch was seen by many as a banned test of long-range missile technology.
This attempt was followed by a successful launch of a satellite into space, using a three-stage rocket, in December 2012. South Korea, Japan and the US said the launch was a disguised missile test, and the UN Security Council unanimously approved a resolution condemning the launch and tightening sanctions.
In February 2013, North Korea carried out a third nuclear test, said to be twice as big as the 2009 test. This resulted in fresh sanctions from the UN Security Council.
In April 2013, heightened tension in the peninsula saw North Korea withdraw workers from the Kaesong industrial zone, jointly run with South Korea and the last symbol of inter-Korean co-operation. The zone was reopened in the following September after negotiations.
In January 2016, the regime made an as-yet unproven claim that it had successfully carried out its first underground hydrogen bomb test, triggering a global outcry and fears that the state, which has few allies, had acquired a more advanced nuclear capability than previously known.
The purge of his uncle in late 2013 caused international concern. Mr Chang was vice-chairman of the powerful National Defence Commission who sat at the heart of the country's leadership, and was seen as a major figure in Mr Kim's administration.
In his first public reference to the execution in a message broadcast on 1 January 2014, Mr Kim spoke of the "elimination of factionalist filth".

Rodgers, 32, claimed the S7 50m freestyle before anchoring the medley relay team to success to take her tally to five golds in total.
Millward, 34, won the S9 400m freestyle and joined Rodgers, Claire Cashmore and Harriet Lee in the relay.
Steph Slater won Britain's other gold with success in the S8 50m freestyle.
There were silvers for Ellie Robinson (S6 50m butterfly) and Bethany Firth in the SM14 200m individual medley, the latter finishing ahead of team-mate Jessica-Jane Applegate, while Tom Hamer (SM14 medley) and Andrew Mullen (S5 50m freestyle) won bronze.
It means GB end the event, the last major test before September's Rio Paralympics, with 46 medals, including 22 golds.
"I just gave it everything and it's great to end the week on a high," said Rodgers, who beat Germany's Denise Grahl by 0.45 seconds to retain the individual title she won in Eindhoven two years ago.
"I like when it is a tight race - it can be hard when you've just got the clock and nothing else."
In the relay, Millward gave Britain a solid start and they were second after the first 100m before Lee put the quartet into the lead.
She and Cashmore gave Rodgers a sizeable 11-second advantage and the latter held on in the freestyle despite the Russian team closing.
"It means the world," added Rodgers. "These girls were amazing. I always need them to give me a great leg and they really did and they gave me such a lead so I just needed to hang on."
"As a team we really wanted to show our dominance going into Rio," said Cashmore. "I think we definitely did that."
While national performance director Chris Furber was delighted with the team's display, he knows there are more difficult tests ahead this summer.
"We've benchmarked ourselves against some of the best in the world and we now need to continue the momentum between now and Rio," he said.
Ian Stewart, 56, denies murdering Helen Bailey and dumping her body in order to inherit her fortune.
He said one of the men attacked him on the day the Electra Brown writer vanished and warned he would not "see Helen again" if he spoke to police.
Mr Stewart claimed the men had hounded the writer over past business dealings.
Ms Bailey was last seen on 11 April and reported missing by Mr Stewart on 15 April 2016.
She was found beneath the garage at her home, together with that of her dachshund Boris, on 15 July.
The 56-year-old is accused of sedating and murdering his partner before dumping her body in a foul cesspit beneath their garage.
He told his trial at St Albans Crown Court that he lied to Ms Bailey's friends, family and the police about her whereabouts out of fear for her life.
Two men, whom he knew only as Nick and Joe, were said to have been old business associates of her first husband, John Sinfield.
Stewart claimed he was attacked by the tattooed thug called Nick on his doorstep last spring.
He told the court: "As I opened the door, he pushed me back into the hall and he must have tripped me at some point.
"He said: 'Helen is with us, she is helping us solve a problem, don't tell anyone'.
"He said: 'Sorry, we have taken Helen and Boris with us', he said 'we will be back we will see you Friday, if anyone asks tell them she's gone Broadstairs (Kent), don't tell anyone in any way'.
"He then said: 'If you tell anyone you won't see Helen again'."
Mr Stewart continued: "I was still on the floor, I was winded and my eyes were watering and he then hit me again and said: 'Do you understand?' and I nodded.
"He then quoted my telephone number at me and asked if that was correct and I just nodded.
"I was shocked and confused, it was so odd," he added.
The defendant claimed Joe had visited the house earlier and demanded if Ms Bailey knew about his old business dealings, before saying, in hushed tones: "Just think about this."
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 24-year-old, who won promotion to Ligue 1 under Foxes manager Claudio Ranieri when he was at Monaco, joins the Premier League champions for an undisclosed fee.
He joined Nice in 2013 and made 110 league appearances for the club.
Mendy is Leicester's third summer signing after goalkeeper Ron-Robert Zieler and defender Luis Hernandez.
"I know the coach, I know his mentality and I know his philosophy," said Mendy. "When he speaks it's direct and clear and for me I like this."
Mendy played in all of Nice's games last season as they finished fourth in France's top flight.
He played five times for France Under-21s but is yet to make an appearance for his country's senior side.
Residents of Aird Uig on Lewis have registered an interest in taking over buildings at Gallan Head.
They were used by the RAF, and later the Ministry of Defence, during the Cold War then by Nato until recently.
The community wants to take advantage of the area's dark skies and marine wildlife.
It has been suggested that a hydrophone could be installed in the sea below Aird Uig to allow people to listen to whales.
Martin Hayes, chairman of the Gallan Head Community Trust, said he believed the observatory would be the first in the isles and the land involved could be purchased at low, or, no cost.
He said: "There will have to be an independent valuation but we believe the land is more a liability than an asset.
"The remediation costs are something like between £300,000 and £500,000. There are 14 redundant buildings on the site - we would use some of them."
He added: "The village was never told what the base was used for - it was all top secret.
"But we have to generate income to keep the village going and this is our chance."
Everyone wanted tariff-free access to EU markets, the shadow chancellor said.
But there was a debate on-going within the Labour Party about whether the best option was continued membership or a separate agreement, he added.
Jeremy Corbyn has suggested the single market is "inextricably linked" to EU membership and the UK cannot remain.
Speaking on Sunday, the Labour leader said leaving the EU meant leaving the EU's internal market - whose members must abide by rules on the free movement of goods, capital, services, and labour.
The party's international trade spokesman, Barry Gardiner, has gone further, saying the UK should also rule out remaining in the customs union beyond any transitional period, claiming that failing to do so would make the UK a "vassal state" unable to negotiate sovereign trade deals.
However, many Labour MPs disagree with both positions - arguing that it is in the UK's economic interests to remain in both. They point out there are non-EU members, like Norway, which have full access to the single market and countries such as Turkey which belong to the customs union.
And Welsh first minister Carwyn Jones is arguing Labour should be pushing for the UK to remain in the single market - even though it might mean not being able to impose any controls on immigration from the EU.
Mr McDonnell insisted Labour had a "straightforward" position on the type of access the UK needed to its largest market after it leaves the EU in March 2019.
"Our objective is tariff-free access to the market," he said. "That has been our objective since immediately after the referendum.
"The structures - whether we are in or out - are a secondary matter.
"We are not ruling anything out but what we are saying is that we are the fifth largest economy in the world and we have a special status in both our relationship with the EU and the rest of the globe and we feel we can get a deal that achieves tariff-free access."
Pressed on whether he and Mr Corbyn disagreed on the matter, he said: "I think we are all on the same page with regard to our objectives... there is a debate around whether it is full membership or a new relationship or a separate agreement.
"What we are saying is keep our eye on what is the most important objective, tariff-free access. We can achieve that."
The BBC's assistant political editor Norman Smith said there was a "deep internal divide" within the party and the shadow chancellor was seeking to "soften" the party's stance following a backlash by pro-EU MPs and trade unionists over Mr Corbyn and Mr Gardiner's remarks
Amid signs of growing internal strains over Brexit, the former shadow health secretary Heidi Alexander said she had never felt "more concerned" about her party's position.
"My colleague Barry Gardiner's contribution to the Brexit debate, in which he argues for the UK to come out of the single market and customs union to facilitate Brexit was, for me, depressing and disingenuous in equal measure," she wrote in the Guardian.
She accused her colleague of using arguments on sovereignty, immigration and the legal jurisdiction that "could have come straight out of Tory Central Office", Instead, she said Labour must focus on the damage posed to those on low and middle incomes of a so-called hard Brexit.
The government has said the UK will leave the single market and customs union but could maintain some existing arrangements for an interim period to help British business adjust.
Officers have also targeted but not fire Tasers at 13-year-olds, Freedom of Information statistics requested by the Greater London Authority (GLA) Conservatives show.
The Tories said officers should use cameras connected to their Tasers to protect "the most vulnerable".
The Met said recent figures had showed a reduction in the use of Tasers.
Andrew Boff, leader of the GLA Conservatives, has called for officers to start using new body-worn cameras on their uniforms that are designed to activate automatically when the Taser is taken from its holster.
The Los Angeles Police Department already use cameras to record Taser incidents and the Met Police are currently trialling body cameras across 10 London boroughs, but they a not activated when Tasers are used.
Mr Boff said Tasers were "an important tool in public safety," but without context their use on the elderly or children was "questionable."
He said: "Body-worn cameras triggered by the use of the Taser would capture the events leading to a needed intervention.
"They have been shown to increase accountability whilst reducing complaints, protecting both police officers and the most vulnerable in society."
Tasers fire two darts with a five-second, 50,000-volt charge, which can temporarily disable its target.
The Met's website states the devices have been used by specially trained officers as an additional option to manage situations where violence is threatened or likely from a safe distance.
The Freedom of Information data obtained by Mr Boff showed in 2013 and 2014, Tasers were:
In 2013 and 2014, the Met used Tasers in 4,105 incidents, including firing them 503 times, according to figures.
The Met said the most recent Home Office figures showed there had been a reduction of 11.7% in the use of them.
The figures from October 2014 said Tasers had been fired 992 times from January to June 2014, compared to 1124 times from July to December 2013.
A Met Police spokesman added: "The MPS currently has in the region of 1,000 body-worn video cameras deployed as part of a year-long pilot. This is thought to be the world's largest trial."
The combined company will have almost 400 million customers, accounting for 35% of the market share, the firms said in a statement.
The announcement ends months of speculation over an impending deal.
Analysts say the merger was to fend off competition from a new operator - Reliance Jio.
Telecom giant sparks India price war
Vodafone's Indian unit in merger talks
Owned by the country's richest man, Mukesh Ambani, Jio has forced Vodafone India and Idea Cellular, together with current market leader Bharti Airtel, to cut prices.
Shares in Idea rose almost 4% in Mumbai following the announcement of the deal.
India's leading mobile networks are embroiled in what analysts have described as "a vicious price war", started by the arrival of Jio.
More than 10 telecom operators are battling it out to try to attract India's one billion mobile phone users.
That has forced firms to keep tariffs low, significantly affecting their profitability.
It was interesting that both companies decided to hold an off-camera press conference to announce such a big merger.
But midway through the conference, it became clear that there were still many operational issues which needed to be ironed out.
How will they brand the new entity? Who will be the new CEO? These questions were not answered at the press conference.
It will take 18-20 months for the whole merger process to complete. Some job cuts are also expected as both the firms align operations to trim costs.
But the merger should ring in good news for customers because the new entity is expected to slash prices to compete with Reliance Jio.
McStay, 51, deftly avoided criticising manager Ronny Deila but did say that decisions on the club's strategy should be made at the end of the season.
"There's a league to be won and we're on schedule to do that," he said.
"If you come out now and do something drastic it might have some detrimental effect on the team."
Deila's future has been the centre of much speculation since Sunday's Scottish Cup semi-final defeat to Rangers.
It was the third consecutive semi-final loss for the Norwegian, who has failed to progress through Champions League qualifying in his two seasons at Celtic Park.
"European football is what it's all about just now and a massive organisation like Celtic will want to make sure they have things in place for a strong challenge next year," said McStay.
The former Scotland midfielder, who played more than 500 games for Celtic between 1981 and 1997, did stress that he does not feel any sympathy for the under-pressure manager.
"I don't feel sorry for Ronny from the point of view that he is managing one of the biggest clubs in the world," he said.
"Ronny will have been delighted to have been given that opportunity.
"He has given it his best shot and he will continue to do that I think between now and the end of the season.
"I or any coach would love to have had an opportunity like that, so I think he should enjoy it and try to achieve the best he can. That means winning the league."
Deila is on course for a second successive league title, with Celtic enjoying an eight-point lead over Aberdeen going into the last five fixtures.
"I've never met Ronny but I've got a lot of respect for the guy," said McStay. "He comes across as a really good person.
"Right now he's still in a job so I would just leave it at that and allow him to go and hopefully win his second championship."
Former Derby County boss Clement was appointed on Tuesday following the departure of Bob Bradley last week.
The long-serving Curtis, 62, played more than 350 games for the Swans and has been caretaker manager on three occasions and was in charge for the 2-1 win at Crystal Palace.
The club have so far declined to comment.
When Clement's arrival was confirmed, Swansea also announced Nigel Gibbs had been appointed assistant coach, with Karl Halabi named head of physical performance, with both arriving from Tottenham Hotspur.
Ex-Wales international Curtis has held a number of coaching roles with Swansea, and was appointed first-team coach by Michael Laudrup - a role he subsequently kept under Garry Monk, Francesco Guidolin and Bradley.
The former Leeds and Southampton forward has previously been assistant manager, youth team manager and Football in the Community officer at Swansea.
As a player he scored 32 goals during the club's promotion season in 1977-78 and was part of the team managed by John Toshack promoted to the old First Division in 1981.
The £379 ($544) device is designed to survive a 2m drop on to concrete and can operate in temperatures ranging from -20C to 60C.
Rival firm Caterpillar has already established itself as a brand in the physically tougher smartphone sector.
The so-called "tough phone" market is flourishing, a retailer told the BBC.
"Lots of people in the trade and construction industries, as well as outdoor sports enthusiasts, have realised that just having a thicker case isn't going to see them through," said James Booker, purchasing manager at UK firm Tuffphones.
To be be certified as a "tough phone", handsets have to undergo more rigorous physical tests, including being subjected to tumbling - turned over and over inside a device for long periods of time, Mr Booker explained.
They also have to be water and dust proof.
Because they are sturdier, they can also incorporate a bigger battery, he added - the Dewalt phone claims to offer up to eight hours of talk time.
"One of the main things about traditional smartphones is that they are svelte and slim - there's an obvious correlation with how large a battery they can get in there," Mr Booker said.
While most of its specifications are fairly standard for the sector, Dewalt's MD501 phone comes with in-built QI wireless charging, which is unusual, he added.
Its touchscreen is made of commercially manufactured Gorilla Glass - a highly robust but thin type of glass that works with gloved hands.
The handset is a collaboration with Global Mobile Communications, a rugged phone specialist.
Mountain guides found the frozen remains during a climb on Saturday.
They were still wearing their backpacks and investigators hope a camera found nearby may yield clues about their identity and what happened to them.
Chimborazo is Ecuador's highest mountain at 6,268m (20,565ft).
The bodies were found under layers of ice at a height of 5,650m.
In 1994, seven French climbers and three Ecuadorean guides went missing on the Chimborazo volcano after an avalanche.
Ecuadorean officials have asked relatives of the missing French climbers to come forward to help determine the identities of the bodies.
Investigator Fernando de la Torre said the bodies would have to be left to defrost naturally before they can be examined.
Forensic experts say they want to avoid damaging clothing on the dead climbers, which may yield clues as to who they are and when they died.
Chimborazo, a dormant volcano, is popular with climbers, but avalanches and melting snow and ice can make it risky.
The 14-year-old girl was grabbed by three men and pulled into the town's Grade-II listed Valley Gardens at about 04:00 GMT on 16 February, police said.
The man, aged 25, from Harrogate, was arrested on Friday, said officers.
Along with a man arrested on 17 February, he will remain on police bail while the investigation into the attack near Harlow Moor Drive continues.
HSBC, Credit Suisse and the Royal Bank of Scotland-owned Coutts Trustees all feature in the leaked Panama Papers.
The revelations in the papers are based on more than 11 million documents from Panama-based law firm Mossack Fonseca.
They name lenders said to have helped to set up structures making it hard for tax officials to pinpoint money flows.
They also name institutions alleged to have helped firms that were subject to international sanctions.
Rami Makhlouf is the cousin of Syria's President Bashar al-Assad and has reported wealth of $5bn.
In 2008 the US Treasury imposed sanctions on him because it deemed him to be a "regime insider" and someone who "manipulated the Syrian judicial system and used Syrian intelligence officials to intimidate his business rivals".
Mossack Fonseca continued to front six businesses - including one company called Drex Technologies - for Mr Makhlouf after the restrictions were put in place. The files also show the Swiss branch of HSBC provided financial services for the firm.
In 2010, two years after the sanctions were imposed, HSBC wrote to Mossack Fonseca saying it believed Drex Technologies was a company of "good standing".
An internal email from Mossack Fonseca's compliance department also suggests HSBC staff dealing with Drex Technologies knew who Rami Makhlouf was.
The email, dated 17 February 2011, says: "We have contacted HSBC who stated that they are very aware of the fact that Mr Makhlouf is the cousin of the President of Syria.
"The HSBC compliance department of the bank not only in Geneva but also in their headquarters in London know about Mr Makhlouf and confirm that they are comfortable with him."
In response HSBC said: "We work closely with the authorities to fight financial crime and implement sanctions.
"Our policy is clear that offshore accounts can only remain open either where clients have been thoroughly vetted (including due diligence, 'Know Your Customer', source of wealth, and tax transparency checks), where authorities ask us to maintain an account for the purposes of monitoring activity, or where an account has been frozen based on sanctions obligations."
The Panama Papers leak has revealed that more than 500 banks, including their subsidiaries and branches, registered nearly 15,600 shell companies with Mossack Fonseca.
Credit Suisse chief executive Tidjane Thiam said: "We do not condone structures for tax avoidance. Whenever there is a structure with a third party beneficiary we insist to know the identity of that beneficiary."
He added: "We as a company, as a bank only encourage the use of structures when there is a legitimate economic purpose."
And a spokesman for Coutts Trustees said the bank followed the highest standards when complying with regulation.
He added: "We require all clients to be tax compliant as a condition of receiving our products and services and take a risk-based approach to identify and prevent tax evasion that relies upon extensive anti-money laundering systems and controls, including the requirement to understand the source of clients' wealth.
"The provision of trust and administration services is an entirely legitimate and key aspect of wealth management and succession planning."
The author of the acclaimed 1977 Glasgow detective novel Laidlaw had been ill for a short time.
Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon tweeted: "Shedding a tear at news of Willie McIlvanney's death. His writing meant so much to me when I was growing up. RIP."
McIlvanney is survived by his partner Siobhan, daughter Siobhan and son Liam.
Rebus author Ian Rankin described his death as "dreadful news".
He said: "A truly inspired and inspiring author and an absolute gent."
Trainspotting author Irvine Welsh said: "Absolutely gutted to hear this. An inspirational writer and one of the loveliest guys you could hope to meet."
McIlvanney, describbed as The Godfather of Tartan Noir, was born in Kilmarnock and was the most-celebrated Scottish novelist of the 1970s.
His 1975 novel Docherty brought him widespread acclaim before Laidlaw was hailed for changing the face of crime fiction.
His older brother, renowned sports writer Hugh McIlvanney, has previously said William's writing always represented the voice and experience of ordinary folk but also their "great intelligence" and "vivid expression".
"If you were in a pub in Kilmarnock, evidence of intelligence or a capacity to use words properly actually meant more than being hard," he said.
"They had a lot of respect for hard men but they had even more respect for the word."
William McIlvanney went to Glasgow University in 1955 and left in 1959 "transformed" and with a desire to be a writer.
However, he spent most of the next two decades as a teacher at an Ayrshire high school before he pursued writing full-time.
His first novel Remedy is None came out in 1966 but it was Docherty, in 1975, which brought him into the limelight.
It earned him praise as "the authentic voice of the Scottish working class".
McIvanney once said: "I remember an old ex-miner shaking my hand and crying and saying 'you've written my story, son'."
Min Aung Hlaing said the military would "do what is best in co-operation with the new government during the post-election period".
Aung San Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy is on track for a majority, taking about 80% of declared seats.
But a quarter of parliamentary seats are allocated to the military, meaning it will remain hugely influential.
Last weekend's vote was Myanmar's first openly contested general election for 25 years.
The NLD won elections decisively in 1990 - only for the result to be nullified and Ms Suu Kyi placed under long-term house arrest.
President Thein Sein and Min Aung Hlaing have congratulated Ms Suu Kyi on her party's performance in the polls, though have not formally conceded defeat. They have agreed to hold talks on national reconciliation with her after the final results are announced.
More than 47% of results have been declared so far, and on Thursday morning, the NLD were said to be 38 seats short of a majority.
The ruling military-backed Union Solidarity Development Party (USDP) - which won the last, widely criticised election five years ago - has so far gained about 5% of the seats being contested in Myanmar, also known as Burma.
Four possible outcomes: how the NLD could win but not come out on top
What the election means in one sleepy but crucial town:
Aung San Suu Kyi: international symbol of peaceful resistance
Elections explained: Why does this vote matter?
US President Barack Obama called Myanmar's President Thein Sein on Thursday to congratulate him and the country on "a historic free and fair general election", government spokesman U Ye Htut has said.
"And second he also wants to congratulate the NLD for their success in the election," U Ye Htut told the BBC.
President Thein Sein has also pledged that his government "will respect the people's decision and choice and will hand over power as scheduled".
Full profile
About 30 million people were eligible to vote in Sunday's election in Myanmar. Turnout was estimated at about 80%.
However, hundreds of thousands of people - including the Muslim Rohingya minority, who are not recognised as citizens - were denied voting rights.
A quarter of the 664 parliamentary seats are set aside for the army and a handful were not contested, leaving 491 seats.
For the NLD to have the winning majority and be able to select the president, it will need at least two-thirds of those seats.
Highfields Community Association, which runs the Highfields Centre, is to lose nearly £300,000.
The group said the building in Melbourne Road was well used.
But city mayor Peter Soulsby has rejected this, insisting the group had not made best use of the building and was financially irresponsible.
Five years ago the city council agreed to the Highfields Community centre - which provides a wide range of services for people living in the area - being independently run.
However, the authority still provided £293,000 a year while it worked to become "self-sustaining".
Now Mr Soulsby has announced funding will stop for a number of reasons, including lack of a business plan, and the centre being "significantly under-used".
He said: "In all my years of experience of working with the council and in local government this has been the most difficult group I have ever experienced.
"They really haven't wanted to enter into any sensible discussion with us, behaving as if they have a right to be given this very large cheque and allowed to spend it however they wish."
Head of the centre, Priya Thamotheran, said the centre had seen over 400,000 users in the past four years and insisted the funding cut was unfair.
"The decision has been taken without any consultation. There have been negotiations that have been ongoing for the past 18 months and it appears the city mayor has now decided to act without any further conversations.
"For the past seven to eight months we have had no direct meeting with the city mayor. We would welcome the opportunity to talk through what may have been misunderstandings." | Scotland has voted to stay in the United Kingdom after voters said no to independence.

Wales' sandstone is joined by England's limestone, Slovakia's golden onyx and Russia's black dolerite.
Prof Alex Malman said: "If a country already has a rock football from previous years they use the same one for display again, but as Wales has not qualified for a while, they needed an initial one and it was great to see us up there.
"I have high hopes that I will be seeing it up there once again in four years' time."
Figures obtained by the BBC show 1,099 forged documents were seized at ports and airports in 2014, the last year for which statistics were available.
The Home Office declined to provide figures for individual ports.
It said disclosure would prejudice the prevention and detection of crime or the operation of immigration controls.
Figures include existing passports that have been tampered with and documents counterfeited from scratch.

The Home Office (HO) replied to an FoI request from BBC Radio Kent, which also requested a breakdown in seizures at the Port of Dover, through British border checks in Calais, and the Eurotunnel terminals in Folkestone and Calais.
But after careful consideration, the HO decided not to issue the breakdown having decided it was exempt from disclosure in the public interest.
Counter-terrorism expert Bob Milton said fake passports enabled the likes of terrorists and extremists to travel freely across the world.
"It is a huge problem because it is hiding people's identity," he said.
Lucy Moreton, general secretary of the Immigration Services Union, said one of the biggest issues was dealing with the "bureaucratic systems" of other countries.
"It is not British passports that are being exploited in this way, although they are open to that," she said.
"All we can do is to ensure that our border controls are as strong as they can be."
In a statement, the Home Office said: "Protecting our borders has always been - and remains - a top priority.
"All passports are inspected by Border Force officers in the UK to make sure the owners of fraudulent documents are prevented from entering the country."
Mrs Clinton targeted Mr Trump's business record, noting firms run by the New York businessman have filed for bankruptcy protection four times.
"How could anybody lose money running a casino?" Mrs Clinton asked on Monday.
Mr Trump released an advert on Monday re-airing sexual assault allegations against Mrs Clinton's husband.
The advert featured two women - Kathleen Willey and Juanita Broaddrick - who have accused former President Bill Clinton of sexually assaulting them years ago.
The video includes footage of Mr Clinton with a cigar in a mouth and Mrs Clinton laughing.
It ends with the tagline: "Is Hillary really protecting women?"
Mr Clinton has repeatedly denied that he assaulted the women, and he was never criminally charged as a result of the accusations.
Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have given us a window into the future of the 2016 general election campaign, and it looks like it will be all about the past.
Mr Trump seems intent on rehashing the political battles of the 1990s and Bill Clinton's uneven legacy - perhaps to tarnish Mrs Clinton directly or just to emphasise exactly how long she's been on the political scene. Mrs Clinton is diving into Mr Trump's lengthy, and relatively unexploited, track record of questionable business dealings and inflammatory statements.
The two candidates already have record-setting negative ratings, and if this is the shape of things to come it seems highly unlikely either White House hopeful will be able to improve their image.
Get ready for five months of mud-slinging, alarm-sounding and umbrage-taking. The least reviled candidate left standing can claim the prize - but may be in no position to do much with it.
Mr Trump and his supporters have charged that Mrs Clinton tried to discredit her husbands' accusers.
The businessman has signalled his campaign will bring scandals from the Clinton administration into the 2016 race.
On Monday, Mr Trump said he thought the death of White House aide and Clinton friend Vince Foster was "very fishy".
Law enforcement officials and a subsequent federal investigation ruled that Foster killed himself in 1993, but conspiracy theorists have long tried to connect the Clintons to his death.
Mrs Clinton has declined to directly address Mr Trump's accusations, instead focusing on Mr Trump's business record and his past statements about women.
In 1991, the Trump-owned Taj Mahal filed for bankruptcy and the Trump Castle Associates followed suit in 1992.
The Trump Hotel & Casino Resorts filed bankruptcy for in 2004 while the Trump Entertainment Resorts sought Chapter 11 protections in 2009. Mr Trump has since left the casino business.
"Trump economics is a recipe for lower wages, fewer jobs and more debt. He could bankrupt America like he has bankrupted his companies," Mrs Clinton said.
Newcastle City Council said 85% of council tenants on Universal Credit (UC) were in arrears on their rent.
The authority blamed a six-week wait for the first payment and lack of support for vulnerable users.
The Department for Work and Pensions said the "best way to help people pay their rent is to help them into work".
One Newcastle claimant, Tracey Culham, said it took months to receive a UC payment.
"I owe people money, I owe my family money and I can't give them money back because I've got no money to give them," she said.
The government's flagship change to the benefits system is meant to simplify it and encourage people back into work.
Newcastle has been a test area for the new system.
In written evidence to the Work and Pensions Committee inquiry on UC the city council said: "We think that Universal Credit can place some vulnerable residents at risk of destitution and homelessness."
Council housing provider Your Homes Newcastle said, of 1,380 tenants on UC, 1,186 were in rent arrears by an average of £686, more than double the average for tenants not on UC.
Universal credit implementation manager Donna Gallagher said some had nothing for six weeks or longer.
"People are coming to us for food parcels or referrals to crisis support," she said.
Newcastle North Labour MP Catherine McKinnell said it had been "an absolute disaster".
The government "cannot possibly go ahead and roll it out across the rest of the country knowing that these fundamental flaws in the system exist," she said.
A DWP spokesman said people on UC "move into work faster and stay in work longer than under the old system".
The "majority" of claimants are "comfortable managing their budgets" and the DWP was working with local authorities and landlords to get extra support for those in arrears, he said.
Brazilian midfielder Boschilia hooked in the opener after a weak punch by Lorient keeper Benjamin Lecomte.
Boschilia scored again by placing through Lecomte's legs from 15 yards after a mazy run from Bernardo Silva.
Valere Germain steered in when Radamel Falcao's effort cannoned back off the post before half-time, capping the win by poking in before the hour mark.
It was the ninth time in 21 league matches this season that Monaco have scored at least four goals, having struck a total of 64, at a rate of more than three per game.
Leonardo Jardim's side moved two points clear of nearest rivals Nice with their fifth win in six league games, and a further point ahead of defending champions Paris St-Germain.
Nice were held 1-1 at struggling Bastia on Friday, while PSG won 2-0 at mid-table Nantes thanks to Edinson Cavani's two goals.

Afzal Khan, who is currently a North West MEP, was chosen from a shortlist of five by the local party.
He said he was "proud and honoured" to be chosen and promised to be "a strong voice for the people of Gorton".
Mr Khan was elected to Manchester City Council in 2000 becoming the first Asian Lord Mayor of the city in 2005.
In his acceptance speech, Mr Khan talked about how it had to be "not just a win, but a big win.
Pakistani-born Mr Khan moved to the UK when he was adopted out of poverty as a child.
He worked as a labourer in a cotton mill, a bus driver and a Greater Manchester Police officer, before qualifying as a solicitor as a mature student.
In 2008 he was awarded a CBE for his work on community cohesion, inter-faith and local government.
Manchester Gorton has been a Labour seat since 1935 and was represented by Sir Gerald Kaufman for 30 years before his death last month.
Sir Gerald held it with a 24,000 majority at the 2015 general election, winning 67% of the total vote.
The Green Party have chosen 36-year-old entrepreneur Jess Mayo as their candidate.
The Conservatives and UKIP, who came third and fourth respectively in 2015, have yet to name their candidates.
The Lib Dems, who came fifth last time, have selected Jackie Pearcy as their candidate.
On Tuesday George Galloway said he would stand as an independent candidate.
No date has yet been set for the by-election.
Scrum-half Care and loose-head prop Vunipola replace Ben Youngs and Joe Marler respectively.
Youngs and Marler are on the bench as England make two changes to the XV that started in the 25-21 win over Wales.
England head coach Eddie Jones said: "We've picked our best 23 who we know can get the job done in Paris."
Marler drops to the replacements despite being cleared to play at the Stade de France late on Wednesday evening following a disciplinary hearing.
The Harlequins forward escaped sanction for striking one Wales prop, Rob Evans, and verbally abusing another, Samson Lee.
Marler apologised to Lee at half-time after calling him "Gypsy boy".
George Ford retains the fly-half jersey with Owen Farrell at inside centre and Manu Tuilagi, who came on at 12 last week with Farrell moving to 10 and Ford being replaced, once again on the bench.
"While we are pleased to have already won the Championship, we don't want to let our foot off the gas," said Jones.
"The objective has always been to win every game, to be the most dominant team in Europe, so it's been very important for us to approach this week with the same level of intensity we have shown in previous weeks."
France coach Guy Noves has responded to last weekend's defeat by Scotland by drafting Loann Goujon and Bernard Le Roux into the back row.
Damien Chouly switches to blind-side flanker to make room for Bordeaux-Begles number eight Goujon to win his 10th cap.
Flankers Yacouba Camara and Wenceslas Lauret are dropped following the 29-18 loss at Murrayfield, but the rest of the side is unchanged.
"We need to bring the freshness in the team for Saturday's game," said Noves. "I am sure that our team can take on great challenges. I believe our team can compete with the power of the English."
England: M Brown; A Watson, J Joseph, O Farrell, J Nowell; G Ford, D Care; M Vunipola, D Hartley, D Cole, M Itoje, G Kruis, C Robshaw, J Haskell, B Vunipola.

In his column in The Rugby Paper former Wales and Ospreys wing Williams said he spoke to the Ospreys flanker, 26, "a week after" the incident in March.
"He said he briefly lost his sight at the hospital, which is just frightening," wrote Williams.
Tipuric missed the rest of last season and Wales' June tour to New Zealand.
The 2013 British and Irish Lion suffered a heavy blow to the head as he fell from a line-out in Wales' 67-14 Six Nations win.
Ospreys and the Welsh Rugby Union both declined to comment.
Concussion has become an often controversial topic in collision sports, including rugby union and American Football.
Williams referred to Tipuric's experience while backing his former regional and international team-mate to be a regular in the Wales line-up.
Tipuric has returned to training ahead of the 2016-17 season.
Williams wrote: "He was probably the most skilful forward I ever played with.
"Wales talk about expanding their game and doing what New Zealand and Australia do between forwards and backs.
"Tipuric is the ideal man to do exactly that."
Dr Barry O'Driscoll, a former medical advisor to World Rugby, says he is alarmed by Williams' comments about Tipuric's concussion.
"It doesn't surprise me and it does scare me," he said.
"It's very common in concussion that on the field straightaway you get stars and you get visual disturbance. You're much, much less likely to get loss of vision, but maybe afterwards you can.
"It's significant that he was off for a significant length of time.
"We're stabbing in the dark to a greater extent about concussion because we are not quite sure exactly what the consequences in the medium to long term are going to be.
"We don't know exactly what to look out for as far as warning players that this may cause you trouble in the future.
"We know so little about it that the more we're getting to know about it, the more worrying in a way it is because there's no good news coming out about it."

And the 47-year-old believes Britain's men's number two Evans does not make enough sacrifices to succeed.
Hoferlin, a former Belgian Davis and Fed Cup captain, is returning home after six years coaching for the LTA.
He told Belgian Radio RTBF that the LTA was failing. "The transition between the juniors and the seniors seems to be very, very bad," he said.
"There's not an exceptional 'tennis culture' at club level and the players are too spoilt."
Evans, 24, from Birmingham, made his Wimbledon debut in 2009 and won the fifth and deciding Davis Cup match for Britain against Russia's Evgeny Donskoy in April.
He is ranked 143 in the world and lost in the first round at Wimbledon this week to Russian Andrey Kuznetsov.
Hoferlin said: "He has the potential to make himself a top-60 player, but he makes no sacrifices for his sport.
"He doesn't understand that tennis has to be his priority. For him, it's just a brief interlude in his life."
Hoferlin says he cannot understand why the LTA is failing to produce quality players.
"It is a mystery, but I remain convinced that, with the financial and human resources we have, plus the infrastructure and number of players, we should have been able to produce more."
The LTA appointed Australian coach Bob Brett as its new director of player development earlier this month.
And the 61-year-old will be the "best thing to happen to British tennis in a generation", according to Goran Ivanisevic, who Brett guided to the Wimbledon title in 2001.
"It's going to be success - because Bob won't take any nonsense from anyone," the Croat said. "It's really the best move they have made for a long, long time."
Police say a family saw the man with a blond-haired child of three or four, possibly wearing pyjamas, heading away from the McCanns' holiday apartment.
Madeleine, from Rothley, Leics, was three when she went missing on 3 May, 2007, in Praia da Luz, Portugal.
The e-fit images will feature in a BBC Crimewatch appeal later.
Inquiry timeline in full
The witnesses said the man was white, 20 to 40 years old and of medium build. He had short brown hair, was clean-shaven and of medium height, they added.
Det Ch Insp Andy Redwood, the senior Metropolitan Police investigating officer, said he could be the man who took Madeleine but there could be an innocent explanation.
The Met Police opened up a new investigation earlier this year and have been reassessing all the gathered material.
As a result, according to the police, the timeline and "accepted version of events" surrounding Madeleine's disappearance have significantly changed.
Det Ch Insp Redwood said he was now attaching more weight to the sighting of the man and the child at 10pm, which was later than the time it was previously believed Madeleine was taken.
Madeleine and her brother and sister were left in the apartment at 8.30pm while her parents dined with friends at a nearby restaurant. Her father, Gerry McCann, checked on them at 9.05pm and her mother, Kate, raised the alarm at 10pm.
Det Ch Insp Redwood said the child in the man's arms had not been crying, nor looked in distress.
He added: "Whilst this man may or may not be the key to unlocking this investigation, tracing and speaking to him is of vital importance to us.
"This is far from our only line of inquiry and there will be e-fits released of other sightings as well, who we are equally keen to trace.
"These people were seen on the day of Madeleine's disappearance and the days leading up to it."
Prime Minister David Cameron said he was "very pleased" Scotland Yard were doing this work, which the government was helping to fund.
"This was a crime that touched the heart of everyone in the country and everyone would like to see it resolved, so I hope Scotland Yard continue with their work and I wish them success," he said.
A detailed reconstruction lasting close to 25 minutes and covering events leading up to and surrounding Madeleine's disappearance will also feature on Monday's Crimewatch.
A short clip released in advance by police shows actors playing Madeleine's parents leaving their holiday apartment for the nearby tapas restaurant.
They are then seen seated outdoors at a large poolside table, greeting friends as they come to join them for dinner.
In 2008, a Portuguese investigation into the case was dropped, but Scotland Yard began a review of the case in May 2011 and opened a formal investigation in July this year.
Speaking about the review-turned-investigation, Det Ch Insp Redwood said detectives had been able to "make massive steps forward" by drawing together all the material gathered to date and reviewing it as a whole.
He said his team had sought to "try and draw everything back to zero... take everything back to the beginning and then reanalyse and reassess everything, accepting nothing".
He added: "Praia da Luz is a popular holiday destination for many nationalities so our requests for help need to be repeated in many different countries."
He said he would travel to the Netherlands, Germany and Ireland to seek public support there, and would repeat the appeals in Portugal - "a key country for us to trace any outstanding witnesses".
In Germany, a special edition of the crime programme Aktenzeichen XY - Ungeloest which is translated as "File XY - Unsolved", will be aired on Wednesday night and will feature an appeal for information from Mr and Mrs McCann.
Former Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre head Jim Gamble - who carried out a review into the case in 2010 - said the appeal offered "an opportunity for everyone to help".
"It doesn't matter that you were not in Praia da Luz - you may watch something, you may see an e-fit, you may see some other information, they may talk about telephone numbers and something will click with you," he told BBC News.
"And that you will not know unless you watch."
Mark Williams-Thomas, a former detective on the case, said it was "slightly disappointing" that the appeal was not being made in Portugal.
Mr and Mrs McCann are expected to make a live appeal from the studio during the programme.
Ahead of its broadcast, Mrs McCann said: "We're not the ones that have done something wrong here.
"It's the person who's gone into that apartment and taken a little girl away from her family."
Meanwhile Robert Murat, the first official suspect in the case but long since officially cleared of any involvement, told the BBC he hoped the new appeal would produce results.
"It's gone on and on and every time something new comes up, you know, it brings hope and then it seems to fade away and disappear. So I'm hoping that's not going to be the case again," he said.
The Crimewatch appeal will be shown in the UK on BBC One on Monday from 21:00 BST. It will also be broadcast in the Netherlands and Germany.
Roedd Gareth mewn tŷ bwyta yn un o'r lleoliadau lle digwyddodd yr ymosodiadau sef Borough Market.
Fe ddaeth un o'r ymosodwyr mewn i'r bwyty gyda chyllell a bu'n rhaid i Gareth a'i ffrindiau gloi eu hunain yn y tŷ bach am eu bod yn ofni am eu bywydau.
Mae saith o bobl wedi eu lladd a cafodd tri sy'n cael eu hamau o fod yn gyfrifol eu saethu'n farw gan yr heddlu.
Sŵn ergyd glywodd Gareth i ddechrau ac yna pobl yn rhedeg lawr y stryd.
"Odd y restaurant lle o'n i yn aros, oedd tua 50 o bobl yn dechrau symud i'r cefn ac yn dechrau gwneud sŵn a ddim yn gwybod beth oedd yn mynd ymlaen.
"O'n i efo ffrind fi a dau ffrind arall. Odd un ohonyn nhw yn disgwyl cael babi wythnos dwytha.
"Oeddan ni yn teimlo bod rhywbeth drwg am ddigwydd.
"O'n i yn dal ffrindiau fi a cymryd nhw fyny grisiau i gloi ni yn y toilet.
"Wedyn, jest cyn i fi gloi fy hun yn y toilet, dyma fi yn edrych lawr y grisiau a chlywed gwydr yn smashio a dyn yn cerdded mewn efo cyllell mawr yn edrych fel machete a merched yn crio a lot o sgrechian yn mynd ymlaen."
Yn y tŷ bach fe wnaethon nhw anfon negeseuon testun yn gofyn i'r gwasanaethau brys am help.
Roedden nhw yno am ryw awr meddai ac yn gallu clywed sgrechfeydd tu allan, yna distawrwydd.
"Wedyn dyma'r dyn armed response yn dod i'r drws ac yn gweiddi arnom ni i ddod allan. Ond o'n i ddim yn siŵr os oedd o yn fo neu beidio neu yn rhywun arall.
"Nathan ni gymryd siawns a mynd allan efo breichiau uwchben ein pennau.
"Ac wedyn lwcus oedd yr armed response person wedi dod aton ni a dweud rydan ni yn disgwyl bod popeth drosodd."
Mae nifer o bobl wedi eu hanafu ac yn ôl Gwasanaeth Ambiwlans Llundain fe gludon nhw o leiaf 48 i bump ysbyty yn y brifddinas. Mae 21 o bobl yn parhau mewn cyflwr difrifol.
Ymysg y rhai anafwyd mae pedwar swyddog Heddlu wnaeth geisio atal yr ymosodiad, dau gydag anafiadau difrifol.
Mae 12 o bobl wedi eu harestio yn Barking, Dwyrain Llundain.
Mae'r Prif Weinidog, Theresa May, wedi galw'r digwyddiad fel un "erchyll" sy'n cael ei drin fel "gweithred derfysgol posib" ac wedi bod yn cadeirio cyfarfod brys o'r pwyllgor argyfwng Cobra.
Tyst arall i'r hyn ddigwyddodd oedd Mike Williams.
Mae'n aelod o gôr Cymraeg ac roedd mewn parti yn agos i'r farchnad gyda rhai o aelodau'r côr yn gwylio gêm derfynol Cynghrair y Pencampwyr.
"Ar ôl y gêm oedden ni jest yn cael cwpl mwy o drinks ac wedyn oedden ni yn gweld golau yn fflachio tu allan. O'n i yn cael negeseuon testun ac yn y blaen yn dweud bod rhywbeth wedi digwydd."
Fe aethon nhw tu allan i weld beth oedd yn digwydd ond fe ddywedodd yr heddlu wrthynt fod yn rhaid iddyn nhw adael yr ardal.
Roedd gweddill aelodau'r côr ar wasgar meddai.
"Odd rhai o'r côr mewn un pub, rhai mewn pub arall ac o'n nhw yn cael lock ins. Odd security yn dweud bod neb yn gallu mynd allan o'r pub a neb yn gallu dod mewn. Oedd na jest mayhem a chaos rili.
Yn sgil y digwyddiadau mae'r blaid Geidwadol wedi rhoi'r gorau i'w ymgyrchu gwleidyddol ddydd Sul ac mae'r pleidiau eraill hefyd wedi gwneud yr un peth heblaw am UKIP.
Fe ddiolchodd yr arweinydd Llafur Jeremy Corbyn, y gwasanaethau brys am eu gwaith yn dilyn "y digwyddiadau brawychus a chiaidd".
Hwn yw'r trydydd ymosodiad o'i fath ym Mhrydain ers mis Mawrth ac mae'r heddlu wedi apelio ar i'r cyhoedd gadw draw o ardal yr ymosodiad nos Sadwrn.
Walker, 40, was a passenger in a Porsche sports car driven by a friend - who also died - when it crashed north of Los Angeles.
Walker was said to be attending a charity event at the time.
He starred in all but one of the films in the Fast & Furious franchise, the sixth of which opened in May.
Walker also starred in the suspense drama Hours, a movie that is set for release this month.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's department said the crash happened in the community of Valencia.
It said deputies found a car engulfed in flames when they responded to a report of a collision. Two people found in the car were pronounced dead at the scene.
Images showed the burned-out wreckage of a red Porsche by the side of the road.
"It is with a truly heavy heart that we must confirm that Paul Walker passed away today in a tragic car accident while attending a charity event for his organisation Reach Out Worldwide," the statement on the actor's Facebook page said.
"He was a passenger in a friend's car, in which both lost their lives. We... are stunned and saddened beyond belief by this news.''
Universal Pictures also issued a statement, saying studio staff were "heartbroken" by Walker's death.
"Paul was truly one of the most beloved and respected members of our studio family for 14 years, and this loss is devastating to us, to everyone involved with the Fast & Furious films, and to countless fans.
"We send our deepest and most sincere condolences to Paul's family."
Walker played undercover agent Brian O'Conner in the Fast & Furious movies.
The first film of the franchise was released in 2001 and the seventh is in development.
Walker was one of the leading protagonists, along with Vin Diesel and Michelle Rodriguez.
Diesel said in a post on Instagram: "Brother I will miss you very much. I am absolutely speechless. Heaven has gained a new Angel. Rest in Peace."
Another Fast & Furious star, the rapper Ludacris, wrote: "Your humble spirit was felt from the start, wherever you blessed your presence you always left a mark, we were like brothers."
Walker began acting as a young boy when his mother, a model, took him to auditions for commercials.
After drifting away from acting, he got his big break when a casting director remembered him from years before, tracked him down and gave him a role in the TV series Touched by an Angel.
Walker later won a recurring part in the soap The Young and the Restless before moving on to supporting roles in teen films in the late 1990s with Varsity Blues, She's All That and The Skulls.
After the success of the first Fast & Furious film, Walker became the leading man for the second instalment when Vin Diesel dropped out.
Diesel later returned, however, and the six-film franchise has earned an estimated $2.4bn (£1.5bn) at global box offices. The series has not lost its appeal, with the latest instalment, the sixth, the most lucrative so far.
The seventh instalment began filming in September but has not been completed. It had been scheduled for release in July.
Walker has also filmed Hurricane Katrina drama Hours, which is due to be released on 13 December.
Another forthcoming film is Brick Mansions, a remake of the French action film District B13, for film studio Relativity.
Relativity President Tucker Tooley said in a statement: "Paul was an incredibly talented artist, devoted philanthropist and friend."

Robert Stratton, 42, is accused of murdering David Sorrie and Julie McCash in the city's Drumlanrig Drive on 26 February.
He is also accused of the attempted murder of Wendy McKinney on the same date.
Mr Stratton is further accused of assaulting his partner Lee Kinney to her injury.
It is alleged that Mr Stratton murdered Julie McCash by striking her on the body with a knife.
It is further alleged that he pursued Mr Sorrie while brandishing two knives and struck him on the body with a knife.
Mr Stratton made no plea or declaration and was fully committed for trial during a hearing in private at Dundee Sheriff Court before Sheriff Alastair Carmichael.
No motion was made for bail and he was remanded in custody.
Jones believes Spurs are well placed to win a first title since the side that won the double under Nicholson in 1960-61.
Tottenham entertain another of Jones' old clubs, Swansea City, on Sunday.
"My roots are in Swansea, but Tottenham are my team and on Sunday I have got to fancy Spurs to win," he said.
Jones, who played 318 games for Tottenham, won the double, two further FA Cups and the European Cup Winners' Cup during his time at White Hart Lane.
Hailing the impact of Pochettino, Jones feels the feelgood factor in North London is currently giving Tottenham an edge over their rivals.
Spurs can still do their own version of the double as they sit second in the Premier League and face Fiorentina in the Europa League on Thursday night.
"Spurs, I am very excited about their season, the team has really come together and there is a great buzz and expectancy around White Hart Lane," Jones told BBC Radio Wales.
"Mauricio Pochettino has done a great job and it is looking really good, really exciting.
"There is a commitment to the supporters and the football club, the same as Bill Nicholson instilled in the club.
"There is that same attachment now, it is very important. These days it is not the same as it used to be at most clubs, but Spurs have that [relationship with supporters]."
Despite being just three points outside of the dreaded drop-zone, Jones is confident Swansea will remain in the Premier League.
"I don't know what has really happened but I am disappointed about where they are in the Premier League," he said.
"Last season they were the team to watch in the Premier League, but they have too much talent in the squad to not have a good spell again."
The initiative has been set up by Surrey Heath Museum after one of stones in Surrey Heath was removed for structural reasons.
It is hoped people will take selfies - or #hugshots - at the milestones and send them in to the museum.
Pieces of the broken stone are on display at the museum.
A replacement is due to be installed later this year.
Museum experts said people had travelled across open heathland for centuries and the tracks they used became some of the main routes used today, such as the A30 Great West Road and A325 Portsmouth Road.
In the 1700s, an increase in stagecoach travel often made routes impassable - tolls were brought in with stones placed to mark out the miles.
The museum is posting people's milestone pictures on social media and on its website. Nine out of 10 milestones remain in Surrey Heath borough.
Hughes has been out ever since suffering concussion in the match against Cardiff Blues on 12 August.
"The recovery process following head injuries is well-documented," said Dragons backs coach Shaun Connor.
"You can't afford to rush players back, and that's what you'd expect from your medical staff as well."
Wing or centre Hughes, who is in his second spell with the Gwent region following time at Exeter Chiefs, is likely to feature in the 23 to face the Russian side Enisei-STM in the European Challenge Cup.
Despite the long absence, Connor told BBC Wales Sport that 26-year old Hughes' future had not been in doubt.
"Never, it's always a long process and Adam always had the intention of fighting his way back to fitness," he said.
His return comes amid controversy over the introduction of tougher World Rugby guidelines issued to referees on dealing with high tackles, in an effort to reduce the number of concussions.
Scarlets lock Jake Ball and Ospreys fly-half Sam Davies were both yellow-carded in the first round of PRO12 matches since the changes in interpretation.
Dragons flanker Nic Cudd, who is often among his team's leading tacklers, hopes the change will not affect them because of their tackling style.
"All the boys are aware of it, we saw the Scarlets highlights and it's being refereed in a different way," he said.
"We've got to be careful but on the whole we're a leg-tackling team so hopefully it shouldn't affect us too much.
"They are being strict with it so we've got to keep away from that shoulder-up area, but if anything the new laws should suit us. If it improves player safety, I'm all for it."
Evans, 53, agreed personal terms but a statement on the Latics' website said he would not sign a contract as he has "other offers in the pipeline".
The Scot left Leeds in May after seven months in charge, and has previously had stints in charge at Rotherham, Crawley and Boston United.
Oldham finished 17th in League One last term, eight points clear of relegation.
Whoever takes charge at SportsDirect.com Park will become Oldham's seventh full-time manager in the past six years, a period which has often seen the club fighting relegation.
Oldham had a winding-up petition brought by HM Revenue & Customs dismissed on Monday, but they did have problems with paying their players last season.
The Latics will spend a 20th year in the third tier next term and have not finished in the top half of the table since 2009.
The US newspaper said it wanted users to "feel secure", adding that it was the "first major general news organisation" to make such a move.
It acknowledged, however, that it might see a fall in ad sales as a result.
Several government agencies, including the UK's GCHQ, have expressed concern about the increasing use of encryption.
In November, the British communications surveillance agency's director, Robert Hannigan, criticised social-media companies for frustrating its efforts to monitor terrorists and other criminals.
But one expert suggested the body might be more relaxed about the Washington Post's move.
"I can think of scenarios where intelligence agencies would want to monitor what people are accessing on newspaper websites, but I think they would be quite limited," said Dr Ian Brown, from the Oxford Internet Institute.
"Having said that, this is part of a much broader trend of apps and services enabling encryption, and of course that does make it more difficult for the agencies that intercept internet communications to know actually what is being transmitted."
GCHQ declined to comment.
The Freedom of the Press Foundation called on the wider news industry to adopt the HTTPS encryption protocol in September 2014, saying it would "protect the integrity of their content and the privacy of their readers", following allegations about Western spy agencies' surveillance efforts.
"Eavesdropping on people reading the news is a real danger that has already happened, as demonstrated by the NSA and GCHQ spying on visitors to WikiLeaks.org," it said.
"And last year we learned how GCHQ employees used a "Quantum insert" technique against readers of Slashdot.org, a popular technology news website."
By deploying HTTPS - which can be recognised by the padlock icon that appears in a web browser's window - the Washington Post causes traffic to be digitally scrambled as it is transmitted between the company's computer servers and its users' devices.
It said this would not only make it harder for its visitors to be monitored but should also prevent countries from censoring single articles.
"When visitors go to a site using the technology, someone monitoring their traffic can only see the domain they are visiting - not the specific page," it said.
"So, a country won't have the option to filter only some content; it would be forced to block an entire site."
The move, however, has consequences for advertisers. They will have to determine whether their adverts will load properly over HTTPS.
Some ad platforms are not compatible. As a consequence, some companies may decide to promote their products elsewhere to avoid extra costs.
"Every third party we use on the site needs to be HTTPS-compliant, or it either stops working or the browser will warn about it being insecure," said Greg Franczyk, chief digital architect of the Washington Post's website.
For now, the security measure is limited to the newspaper's front page, as well as its national security page and its technology policy blog. However, it said the measure would be applied to other parts of its site over the coming months.
Other, less mainstream, news organisations have already taken similar steps.
Vice News, Techdirt and the Intercept are among those to have already deployed HTTPS technology.
Coutts, which manages the Queen's private accounts, is owned by the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS).
RBS said that the investigation involved current and former staff as well as the bank itself.
The bank said it was co-operating with the prosecuting authority.
RBS chief executive Ross McEwan told a press conference on Thursday: "Any situation like this we take seriously… it is the reputation of our business. This is what has tarnished the banking industry and in my view private banks have taken far too long to catch up with the public's expectations."
Swiss private banks are under intense scrutiny in the UK following revelations that HSBC's Swiss unit helped clients evade tax.
On Wednesday the chairman and chief executive of HSBC apologised publicly for "unacceptable" practices at the private bank.
Last year RBS appointed Goldman Sachs to find a buyer for Coutts' international operations, as part of its drive to focus on the UK business.
Coutts International employs 1,200 people, has some £21.5bn of assets under management and has an estimated value of up £800m .
A buyer would have to find a new name for the international operation as RBS intends to keep the Coutts brand for the UK business.

Bury's Quigg, 27, lost his WBA belt to IBF champion Frampton via a split decision in Manchester.
He suffered the injury in round four of what was his first defeat.
On Sunday, Quigg's promoter Eddie Hearn tweeted: "Thoughts with @scottquigg currently undergoing surgery on broken jaw... you will be back stronger!"
Belfast's Frampton, 29, controlled the first half of Saturday's fight and emerged a deserved winner. He then said he would rather "move on to bigger and better things" than have a rematch.
Quigg came on strong in the final rounds but two of the three judges awarded the fight to Frampton in front of 20,000 fans at the Manchester Arena.
It was Quigg's first defeat in 34 professional fights, stretching back to 2007. Frampton is undefeated in 22 fights since turning pro in 2009.
Police were called to reports of a stabbing in Newnham Close, Northolt, at about 15:20 BST on Tuesday.
Abdullahi Tarabi was taken to a north London hospital, but later died. Post-mortem tests showed he died of a stab wound to the abdomen.
Two boys aged 16 and 17 have been charged with murder. Both will appear at Hendon Magistrates' Court later.
Three 19-year-old men and an 18-year-old man who were initially arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and later arrested on suspicion of murder have been released on bail while police investigate.
The annual show at RAF Waddington ran from 1995 and attracted more than 150,000 people a year.
But it was abandoned last year after protests at the base, which is the home of the RAF's Reaper drones.
The RAF Charitable Trust (RAFCT) has said the event could return next year at nearby RAF Scampton.
Andy Armstrong, the chief executive of the RAFCT, said there was "still an awful lot of detail to be ironed out".
"This will be a completely new, unique event and will have all of its own style to it," he said.
"It will be what you would expect and I would hope that the RAF display assets would all be available.
"We would invite foreign air force participation and also planes in private hands as well."
RAF Scampton is located five miles (8km) north of Lincoln and is the home to the Red Arrows aerobatic team.
During World War Two, Lancaster bombers flew from the base on the 1943 Dambusters raid to destroy the German dams in the Ruhr valley with "bouncing bombs". Out of 133 crew, only 77 returned.
The PUP leader's remark came during a press conference in Canberra on the coalition's controversial higher education proposals.
His party opposes government plans to cut funding and allow universities to charge more.
In later comments, Mr Palmer said he had used the term "inadvertently".
"We all agree we are going to vote against the retrospective education [bill]," Mr Palmer told the Canberra press conference.
"There's a million students going to tertiary education in this country, there's a million more that's about to go, and a million more that's just left. And they've all got parents.
"So commit suicide Tony Abbott, you know."
Asked whether he thought his remark was responsible, the MP said it was "political suicide to go against the will of the Australian people".
Mr Palmer's remark sparked a backlash on Twitter. "Suicide is no laughing matter," said one user, while several others called the comment "appalling".
The MP for Fairfax later used Twitter to apologise.
"Today I inadvertently used the term suicide in regard to @TonyAbbottMHR when I meant political suicide. I apologise for any offence caused," he wrote.
Jack Heath, chief executive of Sane, an Australian mental health charity, said the remark was "totally unacceptable".
"It's clear from the people around him that he overstepped the mark and he later sought to qualify what he said, but this sort of flippant remark is not appropriate, it's irresponsible and, from our perspective, totally unacceptable.
"We know that there are rigorous debates in politics but to talk in that fashion trivialises a very serious issue."
"We expect better of our our political leaders than this sort of language."
Mr Heath said Sane would write to Mr Palmer to request a "constructive" meeting to improve his understanding of the sensitivities around the term.
The prime minister's office declined to comment.
Mr Palmer drew widespread criticism in August last year for calling the Chinese government "mongrels" in a television interview. He later apologised for the remark.
Some 600 Muslims were surveyed in Sydney, with 57% of respondents saying that they had experienced racism.
World events had "emboldened" people to discriminate against Muslims, the survey's lead author said.
However, 86% of the respondents believed that relations between Australian Muslims and non-Muslims were friendly.
The survey was conducted by Western Sydney and Charles Sturt Universities, and the Islamic Sciences and Research Academy.
Western Sydney University Professor Kevin Dunn, who led the study, said: "Because of things that are happening in the world and the various representations of Muslims - and these are problematic - it means that some people unfortunately feel more emboldened to say things and do things which are prejudicial and which are hurtful towards Muslims."
The survey also found that unemployment in respondents at 8.5% was much higher than the Sydney average of 3.7%, and that 62% of those surveyed had experienced racism in the workplace or when seeking a job.
However, despite the levels of discrimination, most Muslims said they identified as Australian and felt a sense of belonging to the country.
The minority of Australians who did discriminate against Muslims could be leaving them "vulnerable to radicalisation", said Prof John Esposito, a keynote speaker and founding director of the Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Centre for Muslim-Christian Understanding, ABC News reported.
"One of the things that does wind up alienating some youth is the extent to which anti-Muslim and anti-Islamic diatribe, hate crimes, attacks on mosques make people feel alienated and marginalised from their societies," he said.
"But I think a lot of it also has to do with Western foreign policies."
Muslims make up about 2% of Australia's population.
Joseph Stiglitz and Capital in the 21st Century author Thomas Piketty will develop ideas for the Labour leader and shadow chancellor John McDonnell.
The advisory panel also include former Bank of England monetary policy committee member Danny Blanchflower.
Professor Stiglitz is a longstanding critic of the austerity policies pursued by Western governments.
Professor Piketty's book on the gap between rich and poor was required reading in left wing circles last year, although former Labour leader Ed Miliband confessed he did not reach the end of the weighty tome.
The French economist said: "I am very happy to take part in this economic advisory committee and assist the Labour Party in constructing an economic policy that helps tackle some of the biggest issues facing people in the UK.
"There is now a brilliant opportunity for the Labour Party to construct a fresh and new political economy which will expose austerity for the failure it has been in the UK and Europe."
The panel, which will hold quarterly meetings to discuss and develop policy ideas, also includes Mariana Mazzucato from the University of Sussex, City University professor Anastasia Nesvetailova and Ann Pettifor of Policy Research in Macroeconomics (Prime).
It comes ahead of Mr McDonnell's first speech to the Labour conference as shadow chancellor on Monday, when he is expected to set out his plans to clear Britain's deficit without cutting spending on public services and welfare.
Mr Corbyn said: "I was elected on a clear mandate to oppose austerity and to set out an economic strategy based on investment in skills, jobs and infrastructure. Our economy must deliver security for all, not just riches for a few."
Mr Corbyn used an appearance on BBC One's Andrew Marr Show to hint at the possibility of an income tax cut for low earners while calling for firms to pay what they owe.
He also restated plans to raise the top rate of income tax from 45% to 50%.
A seven-person crew on the Aluminium-hulled yacht Northabout left Bristol harbour just after 16:00 BST.
If successful they will become the first British team to complete the challenge, which only recently became possible due to retreating sea ice.
The yacht is due to finish the journey in October.
Mr Hempleman-Adams, from Wiltshire, has already reached the poles a record 20 times, and was the first person to conquer both the North and South Poles and the highest peaks on all seven continents.
He said his latest polar expedition would highlight changes in the Arctic due to climate change.
"I've seen massive changes since 1982 when I first went there. There's a lot less pack ice," he said.
"If we get around, it will show we've got massive problems because normally it would take three years to get around the north east and the north west.
"To do it in one season indicates what state our planet is in."
The 14,000 mile long (22,500km) route will take the vessel through the Northeast and Northwest passages and along the west coast of Greenland.
The youngest crew member, 14-year-old Ben Edwards from Cambridge, said if successful he will become the youngest person to have sailed around the North Pole "by about 20 years".
He added he was most looking forward to seeing a polar bear.
"That will definitely make my day," he said.
Her speech, which brought the convention to its feet, had themes of inclusivity, honesty and hard work.
Commentators noticed similarities with Mrs Obama's 2008 convention speech.
But Mr Trump's team said Mrs Trump used "common words" and blamed Hillary Clinton for the row.
"There's no cribbing of Michelle Obama's speech," said Paul Manafort, Mr Trump's campaign manager.
"I mean, this is, once again, an example of when a woman threatens Hillary Clinton, how she seeks out to demean her and take her down,'' he added.
It was Mrs Trump's first speech of the campaign and she had the help of a speechwriting team.
Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus he did not blame Mrs Trump, but added he would "probably" fire the speechwriter over the controversy.
Earlier, Mr Trump's communications adviser Jason Miller issued a statement saying a "team of writers" used her life's "inspirations" as source material.
Meanwhile Mr Trump himself described her speech as "absolutely incredible".

In a section, Mrs Trump said: "My parents impressed on me the values that you work hard for what you want in life; that your word is your bond and you do what you say and keep your promise; that you treat people with respect."
Mrs Obama's speech in 2008 carried the lines: "And Barack and I were raised with so many of the same values: that you work hard for what you want in life; that your word is your bond and you do what you say you're going to do; that you treat people with dignity and respect, even if you don't know them, and even if you don't agree with them."
Mrs Trump's speech continued: "[My parents] taught me to show the values and morals in my daily life. That is the lesson that I continue to pass along to our son. And we need to pass those lessons on to the many generations to follow, because we want our children in this nation to know that the only limit to your achievements is the strength of your dreams and your willingness to work for them."
Mrs Obama said: "And Barack Obama and I set out to build lives guided by these values, and pass them on to the next generations. Because we want our children, and all children in this nation, to know that the only limit to the height of your achievement is the reach of your dreams and your willingness to work for them."
The Slovenian-born former model had used the speech to portray her husband as a tough but compassionate unifying force.
"He's tough when he has to be but he's also kind and fair and caring," Mrs Trump said.
"The kindness is not always noted, but it's there for all to see. That is one reason I fell in love with him to begin with."
Mrs Trump has kept a lower profile compared with other spouses of major candidates. Her husband's adult children have often been more prominent.
It seemed to go so well for Melania Trump - she had delegates on their feet at the start and cheering wildly in approval by the end.
But hours later, as her words spread on social media, attention turned to the authenticity of her speech - and to the words of another aspiring First Lady.
What Republican delegates will make of the associations with Michelle and Barack Obama - so vehemently hated by so many Trump supporters - will undoubtedly feature in discussions over the coming days in Cleveland.
But then Trump's supporters are now so accustomed to defending their man from accusations in the media, they could still put this all down to another conspiracy against him.
Mrs Trump's mostly personal speech contrasted with the night's other speakers who spoke about "making America safe again".
Each day of the convention is based on a similar theme. Tuesday's focus will be "make America work again", with House Speaker Paul Ryan, UFC President Dana White and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie taking centre stage.
A wide range of speakers, including a county sheriff and a decorated combat veteran, told stories of military service, urban crime and the dangers of illegal immigration on Monday.
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton took aim at presumptive Democratic nominee State Hillary Clinton, questioning her judgement in foreign affairs.
"Who would trust Hillary Clinton to protect them?" said Mr Giuliani, whose rousing speech fired up the crowd at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio. "I wouldn't."
Many Republican party leaders - such as Ohio Governor John Kasich whose state is hosting the convention - have decided not to attend this year's festivities, turned off by Mr Trump's controversial stances on immigration and foreign policy.
Mr Trump has called for a ban on Muslims entering the US and also advocated deporting almost 11 million undocumented immigrants.
A speech by Wisconsin police sheriff David Clarke strongly defended police officers in the wake of the deadly shooting in Baton Rouge, which killed three officers over the weekend.
"Blue lives matter!" Mr Clarke said to huge cheers from the delegates in the convention hall.
The killings prompted Mr Trump to say the country was falling apart - a claim strongly disputed by President Barack Obama.
Earlier, anti-Trump delegates failed in their final push to block Mr Trump's nomination.
Republican unity frays as convention opens
The vote that would have allowed delegates to back a candidate of their choice was quashed when three states reportedly backed out.
Some said the Republican Party officials had sabotaged their efforts on purpose.
The push was the last gasp for those who hope to see a different Republican candidate get the nomination.
1. What's the point? Each party formally nominates its candidates for president and vice president, and the party unveils its party platform, or manifesto.
2. Who is going? There are 2,472 delegates attending, selected at state and congressional district conventions, and representing each US state and territory. Plus 15,000 journalists and thousands of other party grandees, lawmakers and guests.
3. Who isn't going? Some senior figures who don't like Donald Trump have stayed away, including two ex-presidents named Bush, former nominee Mitt Romney and Ohio Governor John Kasich.
4. What's the schedule?
They are part of a scheme to regenerate part of the Clyde waterfront and improve the area around Glasgow Airport.
The project has been made possible through the City Deal covering the region around Glasgow.
The deal is a £1.3bn project funded by the UK and Scottish governments, with eight local authorities around the city involved.
Planning applications have now been submitted for two schemes led by Renfrewshire Council.
One aims to regenerate part of the waterfront - and includes a road bridge across the Clyde between Renfrew and Yoker.
The other includes work around Glasgow Airport - with a new bridge over the White Cart Water.
If the schemes get planning permission, construction could be completed by 2020.
Bob Grant, chief executive of Renfrewshire Chamber of Commerce, said the City Deal projects would bring jobs and business benefits to the local area.
He said: "These projects offer tremendous benefits for local businesses and have the potential to transform how we do business in Renfrewshire.
"These major infrastructure investments will make it easier for employers to do business, easier for employees to get to and from their places of work and open up the potential for future investment.
"Around 1,400 jobs are expected during the construction period and a further 11,000 permanent jobs could be created through existing business expansion and new businesses being attracted to the area as a result of the City Deal infrastructure investment."
He added: "Improved connections will also benefit the public and local employers, with 59,000 jobs becoming more accessible to Renfrewshire residents.
"I am very excited at the potential of the Glasgow Airport Investment Area to bring highly-skilled jobs to the area. The signs are already there - the first minister recently announced that an £8.9m specialist centre to develop new manufacturing processes for lightweight materials for the aerospace and automotive industries will be established here in Renfrewshire.
"It has been encouraging to see the public are firmly behind these projects and I look forward to seeing the work get under way. These are key projects in the Glasgow City Region City Deal, which has the potential to unlock £3.3bn in private sector investment benefitting the whole region."

This year alone poachers have killed 1,020 rhinos in the African country, which has the largest rhino population in the world.
The rise in poaching is blamed on the increasing value of rhino horn in some Asian countries.
The number of deaths has been rising each year and activists say that these deaths could overtake births within four years.
This means that the endangered species will be pushed towards extinction.
Over half of the rhinos have been killed in Kruger National Park, which covers an area the size of Wales.
The authorities in South Africa have tried to combat the problem by introducing 'safety zones' in neighbouring countries in an attempt to protect the dwindling numbers. | The Celtic manager, Neil Lennon, has been back at Windsor Park in Belfast for the first time in 10 years.

Listeners can hear it in seven parts on Saturday, following the story of Leopold Bloom's journey through Dublin.
The five and a half hour dramatisation, by Robin Brooks, features Henry Goodman as Leopold Bloom.
On "Bloomsday" fans celebrate the landmark modernist novel and all things Joycean on 16 June.
Many of the locations mentioned in the book still stand in Dublin, the writer's home city.
For many enthusiasts, the day is mostly about getting dressed up and going on their own odyssey around the Irish capital, retracing the footsteps of the book's main characters Leopold Bloom and Stephen Daedalus and enjoying a pint or two of Dublin's most popular stout.
Named after lead character Leopold Bloom, the day usually includes walking tours, street theatre, period dress, music and traditional Joycean food.
But there are also many organised events, such as musical performances, street theatre, cycle rides, tours, museum exhibitions.
The BBC dramatisation features Andrew Scott as Stephen Dedalus, Niamh Cusack as Molly Bloom and Stephen Rea as the Narrator.
Some 25 actors have taken part and the music includes new recordings of songs by Irish soprano Daire Halpin.
Ulysses is regarded in some literary circles as the greatest modernist novel of the 20th century.
Producer Jeremy Mortimer said the Radio 4 dramatisation was "a delight" and had given him a new insight into the book.
"I had read the book but when I came back to it I realised that I had skimmed over the surface of it and I had no idea of the depth of this book," he said.
Mark Lawson is broadcasting live from various Joycean landmarks in Dublin to set the book in its local and historical context.
The scheduling of the drama throughout the day roughly corresponds with the order of events in the book.
Each part of the dramatisation will be made available as a free download for two weeks from the time of broadcast.

The pro-opposition Aleppo Media Centre said the crater was in the Sheikh Saeed area and was the result of an attack by President Bashar al-Assad's forces.

It also wants to carry out repairs to the city's war-ravaged electricity and water systems, amid late summer temperatures in excess of 35C (95F).
Officials from the US and Russia, which back opposing sides in the five-year civil war, were expected to meet this week to discuss how to bring about the pause.
Aleppo, once Syria's commercial and industrial centre, has been divided roughly in two since 2012.
However, fighting escalated in early July, when government forces encircled the rebel-held east and stepped up air strikes.
A month later, a rebel offensive broke the siege and severed the government's main route into the west of the city.
The photos of the boys swimming in the crater were taken on Wednesday night, two weeks after the Aleppo Media Centre's image of a young boy from Aleppo who was hurt in an air strike caused worldwide outrage.
Five-year-old Omran Daqneesh was photographed sitting alone in an ambulance, caked in dust and blood and looking dazed, after being pulled from the rubble of his home in a rebel-held area.
His 10-year-old brother, Ali, later died from his injuries in hospital.
The 25-year-old Clark signed a two-year contract with the Scottish Championship club after making only four appearances in two months with the League One side.
The Shakers last week signed James Vaughan from Birmingham City.
And manager David Flitcroft told the Scot that it would further limit his chances of a starting place.
Clark will now work under father Sandy, who is Allan Johnston's assistant at East End Park, having previously played for the pair at Queen of the South.
Having come through the youth ranks at Aberdeen, Clark moved on to Peterhead before joining Queens, for whom he scored 39 goals in 79 appearances.
Clark moved to Rangers in 2013 and, although he never became a regular starter, he helped the Glasgow club win League One and the Championship.
After signing a two-year contract, he played in four of Bury's first five matches of the season but was on the bench against Walsall and then left out of the squad against Morecambe.
Herron, who joined Blackpool last summer after leaving Celtic, joins the Pars until January.
The 22-year-old has made 20 appearances for the League Two club, 11 of them as a substitute.
Silicon Safe has designed a special box - a piece of hardware which stores passwords separate to the network.
Last year there were high-profile hacks at firms including TalkTalk, Ashley Madison and Vtech which exposed millions of users' passwords.
One expert questioned whether new hardware is really solving the problem.
Online identity theft is becoming one of the most common forms of cyber-attack and can leave large organisations with both financial and reputational losses.
The founders of Silicon Safe, Dr Will Harwood and Roger Gross, initially came up with the solution - dubbed Password Protect - as an academic exercise.
"We were seeing large-scale theft of passwords becoming an increasing problem and conventional security techniques were proving ineffective," Dr Harwood told the BBC.
They quickly saw that there was commercial potential in their idea.
Software is prone to bugs and flaws so their first step was to design bespoke hardware - effectively hard-coding a chip - and making sure that it did not run an operating system or any other conventional software. This design, the founders claim, makes it impenetrable via conventional attack routes.
The box is designed to be secure and has only one purpose - to store passwords. It runs on 10,000 lines of code - far less than used for a back-end database where passwords are normally stored.
There is no conventional interface with the back-end systems although it does allow web servers to send login credentials to the system in order to authenticate passwords. It does not, at any point, reveal these passwords.
Dr Harwood admits that hackers able to gain access to the back-end database of organisations could interrogate the box, but he has built in a safety feature.
"After four attempts to authenticate the password, the account will be flagged to system adminstrators," he told the BBC.
The device has been trialled by several large UK companies, including a retail bank and a telecoms firm, and is due to launch in April. Firms will pay an upfront cost of around £100,000 and will also have ongoing maintenance fees.
It is, Dr Harwood said, easy to install and use with existing infrastructure - the box can be simply inserted into existing server racks and requires a few hundred lines of new code from IT managers.
But not everyone was convinced it would be the panacea against mass password theft.
"The system assumes that we all practise proper password hygiene and don't have the same passwords for different accounts. All the evidence suggests that this isn't the case," said Prof Alan Woodward, a computer security expert from the University of Surrey.
It also might encourage laziness in the IT departments of large firms, he added.
"You want developers to know what they are doing including knowing how to store data correctly. That might be preferable to paying £100,000 for a box engineered for one specific purpose."
The Cambridge start-up remains confident in its solution and last year it launched a hacker challenge, inviting anyone to steal 100 unencrypted passwords from the system. To date, over 2.5 million attempts have been made, but none have been successful, according to the firm.
The Londoner, 21, started the combined running and shooting event in the silver medal position, but ended up finishing in 10th place in Rio.
Russia's Aleksander Lesun, 28, streaked ahead of the field to win gold.
Ukraine's Pavlo Tymoshchenko took silver ahead of Mexico's Ismael Marcelo Hernandez Uscanga.
Jamie Cooke, who was thought to GB's best hope of a medal, finished a disappointing 14th.
Britain have won five medals in the women's event since it was introduced to the Olympics in Sydney 16 years ago.
Choong was a surprise medal contender going into the final round, having rarely challenged for the podium in any of his previous international outings.
He secured a spot for the Games by finishing seventh at the 2015 European Championships.
Despite his lack of top-level pedigree, he performed impressively in the fencing, swimming and horse-riding rounds to start nine seconds behind Lesun in the combined event.
Choong made a promising start, holding his position after two of the four rounds, which see athletes run 800m before stopping at the shooting range.
But he lost a lot of ground in the third shooting round, struggling to hit his five targets as a host of athletes overtook him.
"Everything went really well except for the shooting," he said.
"I was very happy with my first shoot and the last was the same but the middle I don't know what happened."
Stephanie Cook, 2000 Olympic gold medallist:
"This was an amazing position for Joe to be in at the start of the combined event.
"He gave it his all out there and should be proud of what he has achieved. He has gleaned so much experience from this competition.
"Unfortunately, on this occasion, there were better, more experienced athletes out there. It was a real battle for those medals."

James Bradley, from Union Street, was last seen by his wife at their home at about 03:30 on Friday.
She contacted police about four hours later after discovering him missing, along with his car.
The locked car, a silver Vauxhall Astra, was found by police later that day, at the back of the Customhouse building at Customhouse Quay.
Mr Bradley is described as being 5ft 6ins tall, of medium build, clean shaven with a fair complexion.
He was last seen wearing a grey/white bomber-style jacket with a black lining, a blue striped shirt, black trousers and glasses.
Insp Jane Taylor, of Police Scotland, said there were "serious concerns" for his health.
She said: "Officers, including the force helicopter, have been searching the quay and around his home address, as well as checking CCTV and speaking to friends and family to try to find out where he is, however, so far there have been no further sightings of him.
"James has not been missing before and is always in contact with his family."
She said he had recently recovered from pneumonia but also had other medical issues.
"I would appeal to anyone who has seen his car, or has any information about where he is to contact police," she said.
DJ Harri - who has been at the Glasgow club since its inception - said there were concerns it would have to close.
Speaking on BBC Radio's Good Morning Scotland programme, he said: "We thought: 'They're going to get shot of us'."
But its fortunes changed in 1990 when the Stone Roses played in Glasgow Green and held their after-show party at the venue.
"From then on we had four years of being mobbed every week," he said.
Based in Jamaica Street and nestled between the River Clyde and Glasgow Central Station, the club now regularly features in lists of the world's best night clubs.
On 1 April, it celebrated its 30th anniversary, attracting regulars and new clientele alike.
One clubber said he came simply because he "researched on Google the best clubs in Glasgow and Sub Club was on the top".
A club regular said "the originality of the music" had kept her coming since 2002.
Another said: "I've been coming here for years and years and I met my partner in the Sub Club, so it's a really special place for us."
Owner Mike Grieve said the club's appeal was down to its focus on good music, new ideas and not following fashions.
"It still has the same kind of feel, the same audience, the same demographic - it's just moved on 30 years," he said.
Former NME editor Stuart Cosgrove has regularly been to the basement club since the 1980s.
"It's the club that has done the most across Europe to bring dance music to prominence," he said.
"Over the years it has been a pioneer for hip hop, the Chicago sound, for underground New York dance music and for Detroit techno.
"It's been the place where some of the world's greatest DJs have found their most energetic crowds."
All Round to Mrs Brown's will be hosted by Agnes Brown, the female alter-ego played by Brendan O'Carroll in the sitcom Mrs Brown's Boys.
O'Carroll said: "The entire cast is excited by this. I think Agnes may be worried that she'll need a bigger kettle to make tea for everyone that's coming round!"
The series will transmit later this year.
The BBC said the show would feature "celebrity guests, surprise audience shenanigans and outrageous stunts" in front of a live studio.
Charlotte Moore, director of BBC content, said: "Bringing one of our biggest comedy stars, Mrs Brown, to Saturday nights in 2017 with a new entertainment show is going to be full of fun and mischief and totally unpredictable."
Mrs Brown's Boys became a hit when the BBC sitcom first aired in 2011.
Mrs Brown first appeared on Irish radio station RTE 2fm in 1992 and has been the focal point of a series of books and a long-running stage show.
But it was not until O'Carroll's matriarch hit the small screen that he became an international star.
A Saturday night live episode of Mrs Brown's Boys was watched by more than 11 million viewers last year. The sitcom was also voted the most popular of the 21st century in a Radio Times poll.
In 2014, the spin-off film Mrs Brown's Boys D'Movie topped the UK and Ireland box office.
All Round to Mrs Brown's is to be produced by Hungry Bear Media in conjunction with O'Carroll's production company BocPix.

The Belgium defender added to Yaya Toure's first-half brace as City won 3-0 at West Brom in their opening game.
"Last season was below what we're used to doing," said Kompany, 29.
"There are a lot of favourite teams now and we're not part of it, I've heard. It's something that gives us extra motivation."
City, runners-up to Chelsea last season, dominated at The Hawthorns on Monday, with BBC Radio 5 live pundit Robbie Savage saying their performance was "on a different planet" and that they looked the best team following the opening weekend of the new campaign.
A Toure shot trickled in after appearing to be deflected off team-mate David Silva to give the visitors the lead after nine minutes.
Toure then scored a fine second in the 24th minute before Kompany headed in Silva's corner to complete the win for City, who host champions Chelsea on Sunday.
"It will be a big game very early in the season," said Kompany, speaking to Sky Sports.
"We can't go into it thinking it's about winning the league, but it will matter so we need to put in a great performance."
Raheem Sterling made his City debut after his controversial £49m move from Liverpool this summer and he failed to take two good chances.
However, Kompany believes the 20-year-old England forward's pace has added to City's attacking threat.
"The main thing is that we have some new tools to use this season," he said. "Raheem has given us sharpness and speed to hurt teams when we're defending.
"It gives other teams things to think about. It gives us that bit of danger we need and we have so many tools to hurt teams."
Toure, who went off with an apparent injury late on, was sometimes criticised for his performances last season but put in an impressive display, along with Silva, to inspire City to victory.
"We know what he can give to our team in every game," said manager Manuel Pellegrini.
"Yaya had a strange year last year. It was not the way he normally started a season. He had many problems, with the death of his brother, and then problems with his agent.
"Now he is more calm and we will see the same Yaya that we know."

West Brom manager Tony Pulis conceded that he employed the wrong tactics in playing two strikers - Rickie Lambert and Saido Berahino.
"I said to the players after the game I have to take responsibility for this one. I played Saido Berahino and Rickie Lambert and that left the midfield too open. It went against the principles I have always worked to and it has given me a rude awakening.
"I won't be doing that against the big teams. You have to make sure you fill the midfield and don't get out-numbered. I want to be positive but that has taught me a lesson."
After today we have the clearest idea of the deal Theresa May wants: UK access to the European Single Market but no membership of it; a tariff-free customs union with the EU but freedom to sign trade deal with other countries; some sort of bridging arrangement between membership of the EU and life outside it to avoid "a disruptive cliff edge", to use Theresa May's phrase; a close security relationship with the EU.
Most strikingly, while the Prime Minister's speech tried to soothe friction between the UK and the EU by stressing the need for friendly mutual co-operation she had a blunt warning for the EU too. Britain will not sign a deal at any price.
"A punitive deal would be a calamitous act of self-harm", she told the audience of EU ambassadors gathered in the splendour of Lancaster House. But it is for the decision to take Britain out of the single market that historians will remember this speech.
The clues had been there for months. While claiming not to want a running commentary Theresa May has said many times Britain's break from the EU must result in control over EU migration and freedom from the jurisdiction of EU law. It was there in her speech to the Conservative Party conference in October.
Those political choices could only mean one outcome: Leaving the European Single Market. It is the most important economic decision Britain has taken for years.
It was at the same venue 28 years ago that Margaret Thatcher made a speech praising the embryonic single market.
"A single market without barriers - visible or invisible - giving you direct and unhindered access to the purchasing power of over 300 million of the world's wealthiest and most prosperous people", the former prime minster said.
Thatcher pioneered its creation (though later criticised the social dimension of the internal market) and the main political parties have been committed to it ever since.
The 2015 Conservative manifesto contained the following: "We benefit from the Single Market.... We want to preserve the integrity of the Single Market....We want to expand the Single Market". Of course, it also contained the promise of an EU referendum. And the Brexit vote has trumped continued membership of the single market.
The government could have made a different choice. Norway is an example of a country outside the EU that is a member of the single market. However, it has to pay a contribution to the EU budget, accept the freedom of EU citizens to live and work in Norway, is subject to European Court of Justice oversight and has no formal say in EU decision making. For Number 10 that was a non-starter.
For a start, this speech was not a full blueprint for Brexit for the obvious reason that Number 10 does not want to spell out its negotiation strategy before talks with the EU begin.
Crucially, the final shape of Britain's post-Brexit relationship with the EU can only be known after it has been agreed by the remaining 27 member states and European Parliament. They too will approach the talks with demands, red lines and guiding principles.
Today Chancellor Angela Merkel told German businesses that conditions for access to the single market could not be "loosened" otherwise every EU country would try and "cherry pick" a new deal. The big question is how flexible Theresa May's starting principles become when negotiations begin.
And huge unknowns remain. What budget payments will the EU demand for single market access? Will EU workers have some freedom to work in the UK? Will the EU allow partial membership of the customs union?
Today the Prime Minister painted a picture of an orderly Brexit conducted in the spirit of mutual self-interest.
But divorce is rarely so smooth.
The online encyclopaedia's founder Jimmy Wales told the BBC the lobbyists had "embarrassed their clients".
He said a team of volunteers was looking at possible breaches of conflict of interest guidelines.
Bell Pottinger admitted to editing entries, but said it had "never done anything illegal".
Mr Wales said he was "highly critical of their ethics".
"I've never seen a case like this. In general when I speak to PR firms they have ethical guidelines that would prevent this kind of conduct."
While anyone is free to edit the encyclopaedia, the site's guidelines urge users to steer clear of topics in which they have a personal or business interest.
"I offered to pop by their office next week and give them a speech on ethical editing of Wikipedia - but I guess they didn't think that was too amusing so they didn't respond," Mr Wales said.
The investigation comes as blogger and search engine optimisation consultant Tim Irelanddiscovered activityby a Wikipedia user nicknamed "Biggleswiki".
Mr Ireland said the account had been responsible for adding positive - or removing negative - information from entries about or making reference to several Bell Pottinger clients.
In some instances, such as with theParamount Group, Biggleswiki requested "edit protection" after altering a page in the hope that other users would not be able to change the most recent amendments.
Lord Bell, chairman of Chime Communications, the owner of Bell Pottinger, said an internal review had been launched.
"I can't see any bad headlines for our clients," he told the BBC. "You won't find anybody, including journalists, who doesn't do exactly the same thing."
He stressed that when companies had requested Bell Pottinger post untrue statements onto the site it had flatly refused - citing Wikipedia's guidelines.
"We are having our own conversations with Wikipedia, and we are also conducting our own internal review to establish the facts."
Bell Pottinger is one of Britain's largest lobbying and public relations companies. This week it came under fire after theBureau of Investigative Journalismreported that the firm had written aspeech delivered to the UN by the Sri Lankan president.
Mr Ireland has called for Bell Pottinger to publicly declare the identities of the other accounts under investigation in order to reveal which other edits have been made.
"I'd like to see that list," he told the BBC. "What they've done wrong here is they've not declared an interest. Let's see them do it - even belatedly."
Lord Bell said there was no intention to make details of the accounts public.
The Wikipedia team hasposted a list of articlesit believes have been altered by accounts traced back to Bell Pottinger.
So far, they said of the 10 accounts identified, two had carried out over 100 edits each.
Mr Wales highlighted an account -diginerd84- which was among the investigated accounts. The profile said it had been set up by a 50-year-old retired stockbroker in Mayfair with an interest in classic cars - particularly a 1929 Rolls-Royce Phantom II.
"I will personally buy a full tank of petrol for Mr Draper's 1929 Rolls-Royce Phantom II if he exists at all," Mr Wales said. "Perhaps it's time for Bell Pottinger to issue another statement."
The BBC has approached Bell Pottinger for a response to this claim but at the time of publication it had yet to respond.

There is nothing wrong in itself in someone trying to correct perceived inaccuracies in Wikipedia articles - after all, that process happens every day and helps the online encyclopaedia get closer to an objective account.
What is disturbing is the fact that the edits are carried out by an anonymous person who does not declare an interest.
dot.Rory: Bell Pottinger, Google and Wikipedia
Wikipedia, which has grown into one of the web's most popular destinations since being founded 10 years ago, is edited by a huge number of volunteers who follow an agreed set of rules.
Wikipedia's guidelinesstate that a conflict of interest (COI)represents an "incompatibility between the aim of Wikipedia, which is to produce a neutral, reliably sourced encyclopaedia, and the aims of an individual editor".
It adds: "COI editing involves contributing to Wikipedia in order to promote your own interests or those of other individuals, companies, or groups. Where advancing outside interests is more important to an editor than advancing the aims of Wikipedia, that editor stands in a conflict of interest."
David Gerard, a UK-based spokesperson and volunteer for Wikipedia, told the BBC that the investigation must establish whether or not Bell Pottinger carried out the edits in "bad faith".
"We're having a close look. What the team is going to do is look at Bell Pottinger's clients and see what edits have been made.
"We have plenty of experience in dealing with people who try to spin Wikipedia - after a while it becomes really obvious."
He said that Wikipedia would be reviewing the effectiveness of its system for flagging up suspicious additions or edits.
Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union are due to take 14 days of action in a long-running row over the role of conductors.
The first walkout is due to start next week, threatening fresh disruption to Southern's services.
The company set a deadline of noon on Thursday for the union to accept its final offer.
The two sides are now meeting in London in a last-ditch attempt to solve the row.
The RMT said it will be tabling a set of new proposals that deal with all of the issues.
The union's General Secretary Mick Cash said he welcomed the talks and will meet Southern with "no pre-conditions and no arbitrary deadlines".
Angie Doll, Southern Passenger Services Director, said she hopes the talks will bring an end to the "unnecessary" dispute.
Months of industrial action by the RMT and high levels of staff sickness have hit Southern's services, which link London with Surrey, Sussex, Kent and Hampshire.
Strike dates announced by the RMT:
Southern has experienced strong criticism this week after a social media campaign backfired.
The company took out newspaper adverts and put posters at stations asking commuters to message the RMT on Twitter.
It has now ordered the posters to be taken down, but said press adverts would continue.
Billericay will host the tie, which takes place on Saturday, 2 September, kick-off at 12:30 BST.
Billericay signed former Liverpool player Jermaine Pennant earlier in August, while ex-England defender Paul Konchesky is their captain.
A game from every stage of the 2017-18 tournament will be streamed live across BBC Sport's digital platforms.
This will allow audiences to watch the game live on their PC, mobile or connected TV. Matches will also be available live and on demand on BBC iPlayer.
Match of the Day commentator Conor McNamara and former Charlton and Huddersfield boss Chris Powell will talk through the action from Billericay.
Messages can be sent to the commentary team using #bbcfacup during the game and they will aim to respond to as many of them as they can.
Billericay play in the Isthmian League Premier Division - the seventh tier of English football - and their side also includes former Premier League players Jamie O'Hara and Kevin Foley.
Didcot Town play in the eighth-tier Southern League Division One South & West.
Broadcast of the fixture is subject to a satisfactory technical survey.
The Japanese boy band, which sold 35m records up to last year, will disband on 31 December, its management agency said on Sunday.
Rumours of a split had been rife since the turn of the year, but had all previously been denied.
Its five members, who are aged between 39 and 43, are now expected to pursue solo careers.
The band, formed in 1988, has built up a huge fanbase in Japan and throughout Asia with members appearing frequently in films, soap operas, and commercials.
Members of SMAP, which stands for "Sports Music Assemble People", have also appeared on cookery shows and Japanese coverage of the Rio Olympics.
Their popularity has even made them ambassadors for diplomatic relations between Japan, China and South Korea.
In 2011, they were the first Japanese pop group to visit China in a decade, amid a row between the countries over disputed territory. Their Beijing concert was attended by 40,000 people.
A statement by the group's managers Johnny and Associates said they were "truly and deeply pained and sorry" to not be able to take part in 25th anniversary celebrations.
The 22-year-old, who began his career at Peterborough, had previously had a trial at Championship side Birmingham.
"Now that the deal is sorted my mindset has changed and I want to work just as hard at getting a place in the team," Brown told the club website.
"Having met all my team-mates during the trial, I know how competitive it will be to earn a place in the squad."
Cambridge head coach Shaun Derry added: "He's made a real positive impression on all of our staff. Technically he can more than hold his own within the group and he gives us further options in an attacking sense."
Meanwhile, Cambridge have confirmed that striker Adam McGurk has been placed on the transfer list.

Kevin Finch admitted attacking the 18-year-old in Niton on 7 October as well as assaults in 2003 and 2015.
The 36-year-old, of no fixed address, was sentenced to life in prison and told he must serve a minimum of 10 years.
He will also remain on the sex offenders register for life.
Hampshire Constabulary said following the attack in the car park off Old Blackgang Road, detectives were able to link Finch to further crimes.
In 2003 he indecently assaulted a woman in Newport and in 2015 he sexually assaulted a 16-year-old girl in East Cowes.
He pleaded guilty to both attacks on 17 February.
Appearing at Portsmouth Crown Court on Friday, Finch was jailed for life with a minimum term of 10 years for the Niton rape.
He was also sentenced to 32 months for the Newport assault and 24 months for the East Cowes attack, to be served concurrently.
Det Ch Insp Dave Brown said: "Finch pleaded guilty to all three offences. I hope the admission of guilt and life sentence can provide all of the victims with closure, so that they can move on with their lives.
"Thankfully these type of incidents are rare and I would like to reassure the community that the Isle of Wight remains a safe place to live and to visit."
The people inside waved to catch the attention of passing motorists, who flagged down the driver on the A22 in East Grinstead just before 09:30 BST.
A man and a woman were taken to hospital suffering from dehydration, but later discharged.
The driver was arrested on suspicion of facilitating illegal immigration.
The 63-year-old driver pulled over in a bus stop close to the junction with Dorset Avenue.
The nearby Trinity Methodist Church was then used as a refuge centre until immigration enforcement officers arrived.
Six people claiming to be children were passed to social services to have their age assessed.
A Home Office spokesman said: "All will be processed in line with immigration rules."
Sgt William Keating-Jones, of Sussex Police, said: "The vehicle was exceptionally hot and it was important we reacted quickly.
"This was a great multi-agency response to a potentially life-threatening situation, with emergency services, immigration officials, volunteers and even local residents all pulling together."
Alessandra, 27, made just 11 appearances in his one season with Rochdale and spent time on loan at York last term, scoring twice in 11 games.
The Manchester-born attacker's most prolific spell was at Plymouth, where he scored 25 goals in 101 games.
"He's a good footballer, he scores goals, he's intelligent and he's ambitious," boss Craig Hignett said.
"I wanted to add goals to the squad and I've gone out and tried to find players who will fit in to how we play and what we want to do."

South Northamptonshire Council announced nine vacant posts, including a head of service, will not be filled and another four jobs will go.
The council said the aim to minimise cuts to frontline services and officers would focus on improving the efficiency of the local authority.
It said it hoped to avoid charge increases, but could not rule them out.
Ian McCord, portfolio holder for resources at the council, said: "Further cost reductions will be required.
"When reductions in central government grants and other external factors become clearer, we will announce what further steps need to be taken.
"We will continue to provide the services that our residents need in a cost effective way, and to look at other innovative ways to tackle this issue.
"The council has an estimated five-year deficit in its revenue budget of nearly £10m as a result of the recession.
"This is due to the associated loss of income, anticipated cuts in the revenue support grant, and changes in funding for services such as concessionary fares. Consequently, councillors have some very difficult financial decisions to make."
The decision to find £1m of savings was made at a full meeting of the council on Wednesday.
The 38-year-old left the Shakers in the summer and has scored eight goals in 24 appearances for Crewe this season.
Chris Brass is currently in interim charge at Gigg Lane after David Flitcroft left the club last month.
Bury are 20th in League One after a winless run of 14 games in all competitions.
The hit and run happened in Jamaica Street on Wednesday 11 January.
A 32-year-old man was left in a critical condition.
The arrested man is expected to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Monday.
James T Hodgkinson, who shot and wounded congressman Steve Scalise and injured three others, was carrying an assault rifle and pistol, according to authorities.
Five people including two police officers were taken to Washington DC-area hospitals. Hodgkinson died in the firefight with the congressional security detail.
The 66-year-old was from Belleville, Illinois, a small city just across the Mississippi River from the city of St Louis, Missouri.
He was self-employed until recently and worked as a home inspector.
Michael Hodgkinson, the suspect's brother, told the New York Times that James had become upset about the election of President Donald Trump and had moved to the Washington DC area "out of the blue" to protest.
Hodgkinson's wife told the ABC News that her husband moved to Virginia two months ago. She told neighbours only that he was travelling.
FBI investigators say he had been living in a white cargo van in the Washington DC suburbs since leaving his Illinois home.
Former Alexandria mayor Bill Euille told the Washington Post that he had seen James Hodgkinson every morning for the last month and a half at the local YMCA gym, using the showers.
Mr Euille said he was helping Hodgkinson look for a job in the area, that Hodgkinson spent hours on his laptop, and that it appeared he was homeless.
"He'd open up his gym bag and in it, he had everything he owned. He was living out of the gym bag," the mayor told the paper. "He sat in the Y's lobby for hours and hours."
The YMCA's lobby has a view of the playing field where the shooting took place.
Hodgkinson also frequented a bar at a nearby barbecue restaurant where he ordered Budweisers and watched golf. The bartenders say he was quiet, but "creepy".
"He'd sit there with a slight grin after a few beers. Not a happy smile when I'd glance over at him, but a creepy one," a bartender told Politico.
Back in Belleville, a childhood friend who knew him by his middle name "Thomas" told reporters he was "not evil", while his former lawyer characterised him as "a misanthrope" and "a very irascible, angry little man".
In 1996, the Belleville News-Democrat reported that his 17-year-old foster daughter committed suicide by pouring petrol over herself and setting herself on fire in her car. At the time, Hodgkinson was shocked, telling the paper she had been a "very practical, level-headed girl".
In 2002, he and his wife took custody of their 12-year-old great niece. However, she was returned to state custody three months after a violent episode with Hodgkinson.
According to court documents, the 2006 altercation took place after Hodgkinson tried to retrieve a 16-year-old girl believed to be his daughter from her friend's house.
The responding officer wrote in his report that the girl said Hodgkinson dragged her by her hair and beat her.
He then allegedly sliced into her seatbelt with a pocket knife and choked her as she tried to drive away.
Aimee Moreland, Hodgkinson's daughter's friend, told the Daily Beast that "he was really awful to [his daughter]" and that "he was always angry".
He also allegedly shot at Moreland's boyfriend with a 12-gauge shotgun and punched Moreland in the face.
Hodgkinson was charged with multiple counts of domestic battery and aggravated discharge of a firearm, but after the victims failed to appear in court the charges were dismissed.
Ms Moreland told the Daily Beast that she missed court because of a mix-up on the dates.
"I tried to tell the court that this guy's crazy," she said. "That this is a big deal, but they didn't listen to me."
Hodgkinson's more recent criminal record in St Clair County, Illinois, shows many traffic violations, and a call made to police in March 2017 - potentially just days before he left for Virginia - complaining that Hodgkinson shot 50 rounds in a wooded area too close to residential homes.
The police report says Hodgkinson had a valid licence for the hunting rifle and was not doing anything illegal.
An acquaintance of Hodgkinson confirmed that he had campaigned for Mr Sanders during the election.
Mr Sanders, a Vermont senator, said he was "sickened by this despicable act" and condemned Hodgkinson's actions.
A Facebook account that appeared to belong to Hodgkinson was filled with anti-Republican and anti-Trump posts, as well as expressions of support for former Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders (the page has since been removed).
On social media, Hodgkinson railed against Donald Trump, writing on Facebook, "you are Truly the Biggest A** Hole We Have Ever Had in the Oval Office" and calling Trump a "traitor".
He also belonged to many Facebook groups with names like "Terminate the Republican Party" and "Donald Trump is not my President".
Local media unearthed a 2012 photo of Hodgkinson protesting outside a downtown Belleville post office holding a sign that read, "Tax the Rich".
The Belleville-News Democrat also compiled his letters to the editor in 2012, when he railed against conservative tax policies and praised President Barack Obama.
"God bless the 99 percent," he concluded one letter.
The ship neared the disputed Fiery Cross Reef, which China controls, on Tuesday, US officials said.
China said the move was illegal and "damaged regional peace".
China and several of its neighbours are locked in a territorial dispute over the South China Sea, which Beijing claims almost in its entirety.
China, Taiwan, Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia and Brunei all have conflicting claims over reefs and islands in the sea.
China turned Fiery Cross Reef into an artificial island through a massive dredging operation, constructing buildings and an airstrip.
China says the structures are for civilian purposes. However, neighbouring countries are concerned at their possible military use.
US Defense Department spokesman Bill Urban said Tuesday's naval operation was designed to "challenge excessive maritime claims of some claimants in the South China Sea".
The US, which officially takes no position on the territorial disputes, says its "freedom of navigation" patrols are to ensure access to key shipping and air routes.
However, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lu Kang said the US warship had "threatened China's sovereignty and security interests, endangered the staff and facilities on [Fiery Cross] Reef, and damaged regional peace and stability".
China had also conducted military drills near the disputed Spratly islands earlier this week, state media reported.
The latest tensions came as the Philippines, a US ally, elected Rodrigo Duterte as its next president.
Mr Duterte has given forthright opinions on the Philippines' territorial dispute with China in the South China Sea, saying he was ready to sail to the disputed Spratly islands to plant the Philippine flag there himself if talks did not work.
Contested South China Sea
However that's exactly where former international star, Gill Burns, is based ahead of Saturday's Women's Rugby World Cup final at Belfast's Kingspan stadium.
Due to a last minute hiccup in camping arrangements the rugby royal had to make alternative sleeping plans, but she is very much at home in her sporty surroundings.
There was an insurance issue with the size of the group with whom she was travelling.
"I got a call on Saturday night from the digs we were due to stay in, and they said 'We're really sorry but we legally can't host you anymore," she said.
"It was then time to do a frantic search on the internet and I found Malone Rugby Club, contacted the president, Patrick Baird, and he saved the day.
"There are seven of us, and we were happy enough to camp outside under canvass, but he said why not stay inside because there's bad weather coming in?
"Looking at the thunder and lightning on Wednesday, I'm glad we did!"
Travelling with other former international players, Ms Burns, who is originally from Prescot, Merseyside, said "glamping" at Malone Rugby Club was a "real treat".
"All of us have been involved in the women's game from when it was a complete amateur sport," she told BBC News NI.
"We flew to countries like New Zealand to play and we had to pay our own way.
"You bought your own shirt, you paid your own hotel accommodation - we didn't have the money our male counterparts had.
"So now when we go away for a week, we try and do it on a budget and that's why we were going to camp, but where we've ended up is luxury!"
Gill Burns' rugby career began in 1987 and she captained her national side for five seasons.
"I first got involved after playing in a hockey tournament," said the school teacher.
"I knocked somebody over by mistake and they suggested that the way I played hockey, I should perhaps play rugby instead!"
She was invited to a training session and has not looked back.
"I played other sports but rugby answered all the questions for me - it's a fantastic team game," she said.
Looking ahead to Saturday's final between England and New Zealand, the former forward said it would be a tough game, but was confident her national team would come away victorious.
"New Zealand have looked fantastic up to this point, and England have had some hard games, but they've played some canny rugby," she said.
"We're going to have a very fresh side for the final, so it's going to be a close game, but I think England are going to do it."
Having been involved in the sport for 30 years, the 53-year-old said she had seen "massive changes in the game".
"When I started playing women's rugby in England it was in its infancy," she said.
"We were all beginners but all sports women - cross-country runners, hockey players, climbers. All different athletes of different descriptions coming together and trying something new."
She added: "We were all fit, but we were learning the game from scratch, even at international level, but we had some fantastic coaches.
"It's just great that nowadays we have absolutely world-class athletes who display the most wonderful spectacle."
During her trip, Ms Burns took part in a Legends Game at Malone Rugby Club.
"They arranged for players from the old England and Ireland Squads, to come together and have a bit of fun," she said ahead of Friday night's contest.
"It might take a bit of time for us old girls to get our boots on!
"Some of us are probably too old to really be getting involved, but we're all excited to get the chance to play with people who used to be your arch enemies in matches, and to have some social time with them too."
The party lost its council leader in Merthyr Tydfil and control of Blaenau Gwent council - both to independents.
It also lost its majority in Bridgend, the stronghold of the first minister and Welsh Labour leader Carwyn Jones.
Labour has also kept control of Caerphilly, Newport, Rhondda Cynon Taff and Torfaen, while the Tories won a majority in Monmouthshire.
The Vale of Glamorgan will remain with no party in overall control, although the Conservatives overtook Labour to become the largest party, one seat short of overall control.
In Rhondda Cynon Taff, Labour lost 13 seats, but held on to its majority with 47 seats.
Plaid won 18 seats - up from nine - independents four, Conservatives four, while the Liberal Democrats and the Cynon Valley party got one seat each.
Three more seats are still to be counted for Merthyr Tydfil council on 8 June after the election for Cyfarthfa ward was postponed following the death of a candidate.
The council's leader, Brendan Toomey, was ousted as independents took nine seats from Labour in the county.
He said Labour was "having a very disappointing evening to say the least".
Mr Toomey, who lost the Park ward to an independent candidate, told BBC Radio 4: "It is quite clear that huge numbers of the public aren't entirely happy, to say the least, with the way the Labour Party is going at the moment."
Monmouthshire council had been run by an arrangement between the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats since 2012. Deputy leader Phil Hobson was one of the Lib Dems to lose their seats to the Tories.
Bridgend AM and Welsh Labour leader Carwyn Jones took to Twitter saying it had been a "testing night for many of our candidates".
He said: "Thanks to you all for standing and for your hard work. There will be better times.
"Still, we can take great heart that we did so well in Newport, Cardiff and Swansea and held them off in so many of their target areas."
The First Minister later said the Tories had been briefing against the party, and that Labour had "defied the odds".
Welsh Conservative leader Andrew RT Davies said the Tories had a "good night at the office", making "huge strides" in the Vale of Glamorgan and reaching double digits in the first minister's "backyard".
In Cardiff, Labour maintained control with 40 seats, losing control of six seats, including four to the Conservatives in Whitchurch.
The Tories have 20 seats, the Liberal Democrats 11, Plaid Cymru three, while independents have one.
The future of the council's leader Phil Bale, who was re-elected to the Llanishen seat, remains under question, with a potential leadership challenge expected.
BBC Wales understands Labour Cardiff councillors who are unhappy with the party's leadership of the council are scheduled to meet on Friday.
Speaking at the count Mr Bale said he did not know anything about it but said he would like to remain as leader.
He said the turnout in the capital had been amazing, adding: "Its been a great result, we all have to move on and do the best for Cardiff."
The US Attorney's Office in Pennsylvania is looking into how the companies determined prices for certain drugs.
The investigation into Merck focuses on the pricing of an asthma medication.
Eli Lilly is being investigated over how it handled rebates for Medicaid - the US government funded insurance program for low income people.
In particular the probe is investigating deals Eli Lilly made with wholesalers for determining its average manufacturer price, which is used to calculate Medicaid rebates.
In a statement the Eli Lilly said, "We believe our accounting practices related to average manufacturer prices and the Medicaid drug rebate program are correct."
Merck said it was cooperating with the investigation.
Shares of Merck fell 1% on Friday, while shares of Eli Lilly were down 0.47%.
Increased attention has fallen on drug pricing in the US, including a probe launched by the Senate Wednesday.
It is focused on pharmaceutical companies Valeant and Turing Pharmaceuticals.
Neither Merck nor Eli Lilly are included in the Senate probe.
The Indiana ex-senator formerly served on the Senate Intelligence Committee.
Mr Trump said Mr Coats would "provide unwavering leadership... and spearhead my administration's ceaseless vigilance against those who seek to do us harm".
The appointment comes a day after an intelligence report accused Russia's president of ordering a campaign aimed at helping Mr Trump to victory.
Mr Trump said in a statement that Mr Coats had "clearly demonstrated the deep subject matter expertise and sound judgment required to lead our intelligence community".
A statement from Mr Coats said: "There is no higher priority than keeping America safe, and I will utilise every tool at my disposal to make that happen."
Mr Coats has been a vocal critic of Russia over its 2014 annexation of Crimea.
He will need the Senate to confirm his appointment, replacing James Clapper.
The position of director of national intelligence was created after the 11 September terrorist attacks to improve the US intelligence gathering agencies.
The director is the president's principal adviser on matters on national intelligence, overseeing the National Intelligence Programme, which covers all projects related to the intelligence community.
The post also oversees the US Intelligence Community, the grouping that combines the independent work of 16 agencies, including the CIA.
Dan Coats entered Congress in 1981, representing Indiana in the House. He took Dan Quayle's place in the Senate in 1989 when Mr Quayle became President George HW Bush's vice-president.
Mr Coats had earlier served in the US Army in the 1960s and left the Senate in 1998, becoming US ambassador to Germany in the early 2000s.
After that he became a lobbyist for pharmaceutical, defence and energy companies, returning to the Senate in 2010. He did not seek re-election in 2016.
During his time in the Senate he sat on the intelligence committee.
Has not always been easy.
In early 2016 he said: "I am increasingly concerned by Donald Trump's statements and behaviour, and I have serious concerns about his ability to win the general election and provide presidential leadership."
He was also damning about Mr Trump's lewd comments on women from 2005 that were leaked to the press during the election campaign.
On 8 October, he wrote on Twitter that "Donald Trump's vulgar comments are totally inappropriate and disgusting, and these words have no place in our society".
And back in December 2015, when Mr Trump announced his plans to prevent Muslims immigrating to the US, Mr Coats wrote: "Once again, Donald Trump has chosen bombastic rhetoric over sound judgement."
Generally, however, he supported his party's nominee once chosen, publicly criticising former candidate Ted Cruz for refusing to endorse Mr Trump.
Mr Coats pressed President Barack Obama to punish Russia harshly for its annexation of Crimea.
As a result, Mr Coats was among several lawmakers banned from travelling to Russia.
The matter is key given the new intelligence report that says the Kremlin developed a "clear preference" for Mr Trump during the election.
It said Russia's goals were to "undermine public faith" in the US democratic process and "denigrate" his Democrat opponent Hillary Clinton.
After being briefed on the findings, Mr Trump stopped short of accusing Russia of interfering, saying only that the election outcome was not affected.
The answer may lie not with Mr Trump, but his running mate, vice-president-elect Mike Pence.
Mr Pence was the governor of Indiana - Mr Coats's state.
The two men know each other well - so well that Mr Coats was the senator who seconded Mr Pence's nomination for the Republican vice-presidential candidacy.
A meeting between Marinakis and the English Football League Executive to see if he passes the owners' and directors' test, has taken place.
Marinakis is facing accusations of match-fixing in his native Greece.
He denies the allegations and is still waiting to find out whether the case against him will go to trial.
The sale would end five years of ownership by Fawaz Al Hasawi, who has said that the deal was was "99%" complete.

The tradition in Devon is to put cream on the scone followed by jam, while the Cornish do it the other way around.
But in a cafe in Barnstaple in Devon, the prime minister said: "I'm going to get this wrong, aren't I? In Devon it's... jam first and cream on top?"
He was soon corrected by the staff.
"Wrong way round. I knew I'd get it wrong," he added.
"No-one who comes here has the right to put his cultural values or religious beliefs above our law," he told Bild.
In some Islamic countries, men are allowed to take up to four wives, but in Germany polygamy is banned by law.
Concern about polygamy and underage marriage has risen recently, as Germany has been taking in record numbers of migrants, many from Muslim countries.
The law in Germany is clear: no-one is allowed to be married to more than one person at a time, and that includes recent arrivals in the country.
But in practice polygamous relationships are often quietly tolerated, the paper reports. For example, if a man dies, his inheritance may be distributed between his two wives.
But Mr Maas wants to stop authorities turning a blind eye.
"Everybody must abide by the law, no matter whether he has grown up here or has only just arrived," he told the tabloid.
This also applies to forced and underage marriages.
"We cannot tolerate forced marriages, above all, if they affect under-age girls," Mr Maas said.
Bild reports that the federal state of Bavaria alone has registered 550 cases of brides aged under 18, and 161 under 16, among the asylum seekers that have arrived in the recent migrant wave.
In most of these cases, the young girls were already married before their arrival in Germany.
There is no clear law in Germany regarding what to do with underage marriages conducted in Muslim countries, and courts make judgements on a case-by-case basis.
A court in the city of Bamberg recently decided that the marriage of a 15-year-old girl to a 21-year-old man, conducted under Syrian jurisdiction, could be regarded as legal in Germany.
In Germany the minimum age for marriage is 18, but it is possible for a young person aged 16 or 17 to marry, if a family court gives consent, and the other party to the marriage is at least 18.
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 trip comes amid warming ties between the countries as the US seeks to build relations with Pacific allies.
Vietnam is keen for the US to lift an arms embargo that has been in place since 1984.
Mr Obama will later fly to Japan for a G7 summit. He will also become the first US president to visit Hiroshima.
Vietnam hopes as Obama visits
Vietnamese embrace new US relations
While in Vietnam, Mr Obama is expected to meet dissidents and make the case for Vietnam to remove obstacles to the US-led Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) free trade deal.
Ben Rhodes, Mr Obama's deputy national security adviser, said before the visit that talks on removing the United States' embargo on selling arms to Vietnam would be discussed.
Doing so would allow Vietnam to bolster its defences at a time of territorial disputes with its neighbour China, which was unhappy with a partial lifting of the ban in 2014.
However, White House officials indicated the ban would be lifted only if there was an improvement in human rights in Vietnam.
On Friday, Mr Obama will tour Hiroshima, where a US nuclear bomb was detonated in 1945, killing at least 140,000 people.
In an interview with Japanese broadcaster NHK on Friday, Mr Obama said he would not apologise during his remarks in Hiroshima.
"It's important to recognise that in the midst of war, leaders make all kinds of decisions, it's a job of historians to ask questions and examine them," he said.
"But I know, as somebody who's now sat in this position for the last seven-and-a-half years, that every leader makes very difficult decisions, particularly during wartime."
Emwazi was refused entry to Tanzania in 2009 for being drunk and abusive, custody records from the time show.
He has claimed he was on holiday with two friends when they were stopped and interrogated under orders from MI5.
Tanzania's home affairs minister Mathias Chikawe said there was no tip-off, but Emwazi "wanted to harm us".
Emwazi, who is in his mid-20s and from west London, has been identified as the masked jihadist in several Islamic State videos in which hostages have been beheaded.
He has said he was a student looking forward to a safari holiday when he flew to Tanzania's Dar es Salaam airport, from The Netherlands, six years ago.
He said that when he arrived, he was stopped, arrested and accused of wanting to joining the al-Qaeda-linked Somali terror network al-Shabaab.
But speaking to the BBC's East Africa correspondent Ed Thomas, Mr Chikawe said there was no contact from any intelligence agency relating to Emwazi, and the men were only stopped because of their behaviour.
"We had no information whatsoever from any organisation or anybody for that matter," he said.
"They were in a state of inebriation - highly drunk. And they were cursing and saying all the bad words you can think of.
"So the immigration officers detained them and asked them questions, saying, 'Why do you behave like this? Who are you? Why are you coming here?'."
In emails written to campaigners at advocacy group Cage, Emwazi said he had been threatened at gunpoint and was later told to ask the British government why he had been stopped.
But Mr Chikawe said his claims were untrue.
"He was actually detained by a lady, a young lady. She could not interrogate, she could not threaten the three of them," he said.
"It's not true, we just asked them questions.
"If he is saying anything other than what I'm telling you, then he is (lying)," he added.
He said there was a "very close" relationship between Britain and Tanzania because of historical ties. He has asked the Tanzanian authorities to investigate Emwazi's time in Tanzania.
"I've asked them to look for the CCTV footage if there is any, just to see exactly what happened," he said.
"Because for us at that time he was just like any other visitor trying to enter Tanzania, he wasn't special."
He said he believed their intent had been to cause harm.
"They must have wanted to do some terrorist acts. I think maybe they wanted to harm us, definitely," he said.
"We have been hit terrorists. The American embassy was blown up. We feel we are targets, and we don't want to be victims. We shall always defend ourselves."
A custody record dated 23 May 2009, and written in Kiswahili, requests that Emwazi and two friends "be detained after they refused to return back to Amsterdam using KLM 569 after being refused entry to the country".
The document names Emwazi, Ally Adorus and Marcel Schrodel.
Adorus, a British citizen, is now a convicted terrorist serving a prison sentence in Ethiopia.
Schrodel is said to have been known to German security services.

The three months to January saw new export orders remain "near-flat" - an improvement on the previous quarterly figures which showed a sharp fall.
Optimism about the general business environment remained negative at -4%, up from -12% recorded in October.
Manufacturing has lagged the recovery in the rest of the economy since 2013.
Rain Newton-Smith, CBI director of economics, said: "Uncertainty around the prospects for global growth, uncompetitive energy costs and the strength of the pound have all played their part in UK manufacturers finding conditions tough when trying to sell overseas."
The Balkan territory, which declared independence from Serbia in 2008, became a Fifa member in May, promoting some Kosovans, who have played for other nations, to ask to change teams.
Kosovo start their World Cup 2018 qualification campaign with a game in Finland on Monday.
The qualifying group also includes Croatia, Iceland, Turkey and Ukraine.
The six players cleared are:
Kosovo's complicated political status has seen several players born there play for different countries, including Xherdan Shaqiri and Granit Xhaka (Switzerland), Shefki Kuqi (Finland) and Lorik Cana (Albania).
When Kosovo's Fifa membership was secured, football's world governing body indicated it would deal with players wanting to switch nations on a case-by-case basis.
Arsenal midfielder Xhaka published an open letter on Tuesday in which he said he would continue to play for Switzerland.
In it, he claimed Fifa had said players who featured at Euro 2016 would not be allowed to switch nations. Xhaka played in all of Switzerland's matches - including their opening game against Albania, for whom his older brother Taulant plays.
Fifa has already allowed Alberto Bunjaku, who appeared for Switzerland at the 2010 World Cup, to play for Kosovo.
The Swiss football federation (SFV) has complained about "a lack of clarity in regulations".
"The SFV regrets the priority of the Kosovar directors has been in trying to recruit players for the next World Cup qualifiers instead of consolidating the foundations of their federation," a statement added.
It's after the comedian put on extra shows during his tour to help fans avoid secondary ticketing websites.
"There is a small minority of people who set out to exploit the high demand for popular events," a government spokesman told Newsbeat.
But the official line is that while buyers must be protected, people should have a way of selling unwanted tickets.
The campaign Put Fans First is trying to get the government to change how sites like viagogo and StubHub work.
Tickets to sold-out gigs and sporting events are usually still available to buy on similar sites but often at a much higher price.
The campaign group doesn't want to ban them but says it wants to make the process more transparent.
For example, they want resellers to have a say about who they've bought the ticket from and what its face value is.
Put Fans First is being supported by metal band Iron Maiden and British comedian Stewart Lee.
Writing on his website earlier this week the stand-up claimed that tickets for some of his shows were 400% more expensive on re-sale sites.
He said: "I oppose [this practice] because I want my shows to be accessible to all, so that everyone can come and hate them as equals, and I cut corners to keep tickets as cheap as venues will allow me to make them.
"Artists shouldn't have to [see] their tickets sold at higher rates than they want them to be sold at. It is wrong.
"Incidentally, I am adding more dates to some of the sold-out shows so there should be no need to buy over the odds tickets."
In response to his comments viagogo said: "There are a handful of tickets on viagogo to each of Stewart Lee's shows, at a range of prices starting from £60.
"This will be good news to anyone who missed out at the box office and wants a guaranteed ticket, instead of taking their chances outside the venue."
A spokesperson for StubHub has told Newsbeat: "StubHub is an open marketplace and does not price tickets to any event."
"Surveys show that UK customers overwhelmingly support the right to resell spare tickets of their choice and theirs is the only voice that should matter."
The comedian also criticised Culture Secretary Sajid Javid who doesn't support the campaign to change the law.
"The government takes consumer protection very seriously," the spokesman said.
"We know that there is a small minority of people who set out to exploit the high demand for popular sporting and music events.
"However, the answer is not to ban all ticket re-sales.
"We want to strike the right balance between protecting consumers and allowing them to sell on tickets that they are no longer able to use."

Peter Thiel backed the wrestler Hulk Hogan's privacy case against Gawker.
In a New York Times article on Tuesday, he said his own privacy had also been "violated" by the site and he wanted to protect press freedom.
But the campaign group Reporters Without Borders (RSF) criticised his "secret" involvement in the case.
While Mr Thiel was "asking the right questions", the campaign group said, it could not stand behind the answers he had come up with because they represented a "serious threat to the basic principles we… are defending: freedom of press and independence of media".
Gilles Wullus, of the group, told the BBC: "These principles are universal.
"Journalism ethics should be taken care of by journalists themselves and are ultimately a matter of public and free debate.
"In case they do not, we think that nobody else can do it in their place, neither states, nor governments; especially not wealthy individuals.
He said that Mr Thiel's campaign was "nothing different to governments using legal or economic leverage to shut down a media that happens to displease them".
"It is even less defensible that this was kept secret," Mr Wullus said.
"RSF knows about thousands of cases like this."
In an article published by the New York Times on Tuesday, Mr Thiel said that Gawker had revealed his sexuality to the wider world in 2007.
In that piece, the media organisation had covered the scarcity of out gay people in elevated positions within Silicon Valley.
But Mr Thiel said the article had taken away his ability to choose when to tell people about his sexuality.
"Gawker violated my privacy, and cashed in on it," he wrote.
The recent case Mr Thiel funded was brought by Hulk Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, after Gawker Media published a video of the wrestler having sex with his former friend's wife.
Gawker claimed it had a right to publish the video, while Mr Hogan successfully argued it had been an invasion of his privacy.
It transpired that Mr Thiel, who co-founded PayPal and was an early stakeholder in Facebook, had funded that legal fight and he said he had sought others to back it as well.
"For my part, I am proud to have contributed financial support to [Mr Hogan's] case. I will support him until his final victory - Gawker said it intends to appeal - and I would gladly support someone else in the same position," Mr Thiel wrote.
Gawker, which filed for bankruptcy and was put up for sale as a result of the ruling in Mr Hogan's favour, is being bought by the US-based Spanish-language broadcaster Univision Holdings. Its $135m (£103m) bid beat competition from the American media company Ziff Davis.
The deal still depends on approval from a bankruptcy judge.
Gawker Media's chief executive Nick Denton also filed for personal bankruptcy.
Mr Thiel said he did not feel it was up to him to decide what constituted justified journalistic coverage.
"A free press is vital for public debate," he said.
"Since sensitive information can sometimes be publicly relevant, exercising judgment is always part of the journalist's profession.
"It's not for me to draw the line, but journalists should condemn those who wilfully cross it.
"The press is too important to let its role be undermined by those who would search for clicks at the cost of the profession's reputation." | Reading have agreed a deal to sign Dutch defender Danzell Gravenberch on a three-year contract.

Sion Simon, Labour's West Midlands metro mayor candidate, is among people calling for public ownership of the road to ease congestion on other roads.
But the Department for Transport said buying the road, which links Cannock and Coleshill, would cost about £1bn.
Midlands Expressway, which operates the M6 Toll, said it already carried 85% to 90% of through traffic at peak times.
For this reason, the firm added, making the road free would be of "little benefit" for reducing wider congestion.
However, Mr Simon claimed the road was often "empty".
"We need support from the government to take that road into regional control, making it free and taking the pressure off roads in the conurbation so people can move around," he said.
But Bob Sleigh, the Conservative leader of Solihull Council and chairman of the West Midlands Combined Authority, said the problem was drivers were using motorways for local journeys and were "junction hopping".
The answer was improving the local road network instead, he said.
The 27-mile route in the West Midlands opened in 2003 at a cost of £900m to build.

They say thousands of people are now without electricity or water, as heavy rains in the Andes sent floodwater down into the valleys and towns below.
In the city of Copiapo, the river burst its banks.
Rescuers have begun evacuating people using helicopters because of fears of mudslides. More rain is expected.
Chile's emergency officials said one person was electrocuted on the street, while another died in a mudslide.
The government is now describing the situation in the desert town of Chanaral as "critical".
President Michelle Bachelet cancelled her engagements and said she would fly to Copiapo.
The storms, which began on Tuesday evening, have cut off roads, caused power cuts and severed communications.
Local officials say 38,000 people are without electricity and 48,500 without drinking water.
"Anyone in an at-risk zone in the Atacama region should evacuate," said Interior Minister Rodrigo Penailillo.
The floods come as southern Chile struggles with huge wildfires made worse by a severe drought.
Uber chief executive Travis Kalanick announced the move at an event in Beijing held by one of Uber's Chinese investors, Baidu.
The service is already available in around 20 cities in the country.
The expansion puts it head-to-head with local rival Didi Kuadi which recently raised $3bn in funding.
China's internet-linked transport market is rapidly becoming the world's biggest and is proving lucrative for Uber.
Mr Kalanick said the firm had gone from a tiny 1% share of the lift-hailing market in China nine months ago to its current 30%-35% market share.
He did not specify what percentage of this was for private cars and what for taxis, where it faces tough competition from dominant player Didi Kuadi.
New regulations governing lift-hailing services in China are expected later this year.
Mr Kalanick said he welcomed the new rules but in other parts of the world, regulation is proving a thorn in its side.
Last week, a judge in California paved the way for Uber drivers to sue the company over their status. Some drivers claim they are employees rather than contractors and, as such, should be allowed to claim expenses and receive tips.
The London mayor told BBC London 94.9 he could not justify spending £35m on a one-off event.
He said: "I will not waste cycling money on something that would only deliver very brief benefits."
Transport for London (TfL) pulled out a day before the contracts were due to be signed.
Amaury Sport Organisation (ASO), the French company which owns the race, was told of TfL's decision last week.
Mr Johnson said: "I'm afraid I have got to put my hands up here and say I took the decision not to go forward with it.
"You've got to take some tough decisions in government and I think 35m quid on a one-off event was just not worth it for London."
He said the money could be spent on long-term infrastructure to make cycling in London safer.
Last week, Leon Daniels, managing director of surface transport at TfL, said: "To ensure value for money we must make difficult choices, and on this occasion we have decided that we will not be hosting the Grand Depart in 2017."
TfL would have provided the funds for holding the Tour's opening stages. In 2014 TfL paid £6m to host the finish of the Tour's third stage. London also hosted the Grand Depart in 2007.
Labour's candidate for London mayor, Sadiq Khan, said the Government had "wasted a huge opportunity".
In 2014 the Tour was watched by crowds totalling 4.8m people in the UK and generated around £128m, according to a report published last year.
Spectators gathered in Yorkshire on the weekend of 5 and 6 July as the riders went from Leeds to Harrogate, and then from York to Sheffield.
The report, "Three Inspirational Days", said a quarter of everyone living in the Yorkshire and Humber region came out to watch and the Tour attracted 113,000 visitors from outside the UK, generating £33m into the UK economy.
It also found the 2014 event generated more than £128m of economic benefit for the host areas overall, with £19.5 million being generated for London.
The Madonna del Silenzio (Madonna of Silence), created in 1538, is part of the Cavendish-Bentinck family's Portland Collection.
The gallery, on the family's Welbeck Estate near Sherwood Forest, also has works by Van Dyck and George Stubbs.
A pearl earring worn by Charles I at his execution has also gone on show.
The current head of the family and grandson of the 7th Duke of Portland, William Parente, said the collection had been "painstakingly assembled over the last 400 years or so".
"These things are our history; each generation learns from them and adds to them if they can.
"But they are also part of our collective history as people; they chart the way people, places, tastes and society have changed - everyone should be able to enjoy them."
Alongside the painted masterpieces, the 800 sq m gallery also houses miniatures by Nicholas Hilliard and Christian Friedrich Zincke, Meissen porcelain and jewellery by Cartier.
Giving mooncakes to relatives and business associates is an integral part of the festival, which is being celebrated on Monday across China.
Mooncakes are traditionally filled with salted egg yolk and sweet lotus paste, and symbolise the moon.
However, the festive season also turns into opportunities for officials to misuse public funds to purchase expensive mooncakes as gifts.
This prompted the authorities to issue a strong warning against the practice ahead of the festival.
As a result, several media outlets have observed a drop in sales of expensive mooncakes and other luxury items.
"This year many officials will think thrice before accepting gifts because of the government's anti-corruption drive," says the Shanghai Business Daily.
The China Daily notes that expensive boxes of mooncakes have been pulled off from the shelves of many supermarkets.
Zhou Shuzhen, a professor of clean-governance with Renmin University of China, tells the daily that the government is "expected to regain the public's trust" with the implementation of its frugality rules.
"What the top anti-graft watchdog banned is not just a small mooncake, but a type of corrupt behaviour that was hated by the people," she says.
In other news, media and netizens call for a ban on wearing controversial military symbols in public after a fight between a man and an "angry crowd" over the issue.
A young man, wearing a shirt printed with an image of the flag used by the Japanese army until the end of World War Two was confronted by an angry crowd in Mount Taishan, Shandong province, on Saturday.
The Xinhua News Agency notes some netizens' criticism of the crowd for having "narrow-minded nationalistic views".
Commenting on the issue, the agency says "going after after individual freedom... is extremely foolish".
The Beijing Youth Daily and The Beijing Times, however, raise questions over the violence displayed by the crowd and calls for a ban on controversial military symbols.
"Tearing off the T-shirt infringes the rights of the person. The public can express their opinion, but should not take law into their own hands… Instead, as one of the biggest victims in World War Two, China should legislate a ban on the spread of such symbols," says The Beijing Times.

The revision was due to larger rises in exports and business investment.
Growth estimates are revised as more information about economic performance becomes available.
The strong growth - the fastest since the end of 2011 - follows a 2.1% contraction in the first quarter.
This fall in economic output was blamed on harsh winter weather, which discouraged shoppers and hampered manufacturing.
The revised figures for the second quarter showed that exports increased by 11.1% from the previous three months, while business spending rose by 9.7%.
Growth in consumer spending, which accounts for more than two-thirds of US economic activity, was 2.5%, unchanged from the previous estimate.
Analysts said the new figures suggested the US economy was in rude health.
"The data signals an even stronger rebound from the decline seen in the first quarter, when extreme weather battered many parts of the economy," said Chris Williamson at Markit Economics.
"However, the impressive gain in the second quarter looks to be far more than just a weather-related upturn, with evidence pointing to an underlying buoyant pace of economic expansion. Survey data in particular indicate that strong growth has persisted throughout the third quarter."
The UN says the aid includes food, winter clothing and blankets as well as hygiene kits.
The refugees, mostly women and children, live in dire conditions in two makeshift camps in a desert area.
Jordan shut the border in June after seven of its soldiers died in a bombing claimed by Islamic State militants.
Since then only a single aid delivery was allowed when food rations were sent using cranes in August to the Rukban and Hadalat camps.
On Tuesday, the UN said it had reached an agreement with the Jordanian military after protracted negotiations.
"The resumption of assistance comes at the start of the coldest period of the year, when temperatures can drop dangerously low," a UN statement said.
The refugees on Jordan's border are said to be among the most desperate of the millions displaced by Syria's bloody war, the BBC's Yolande Knell reports.
There are now also plans to open a clinic in the area, our correspondent adds.
The UN estimates that more than 600,000 Syrian refugees are now in Jordan, but the government in Amman says the number could be as high as nearly 1.5 million.
Since its general release two weeks ago, the film has sold more than $378m (£258m) of tickets around the world, figures from Box Office Mojo show.
The second highest grossing game-based film, Prince of Persia (2010), made about $336m in cinemas, over 17 weeks.
Most of Warcraft's ticket sales, $205m, have been in China, where the online version of the game, World of Warcraft, has long had a very loyal following.
The film has also proved popular in Germany, Russia and France and has made about $340m of its total receipts from filmgoers outside the US, where it made 73% less money in its second week on release than during the preceding seven days and has a 32% rating from film critics on Metacritic.
Angry Birds - another game-based movie - has made about $327m since its release earlier this year.
Rick Marshall, at tech news site Digital Trends, said: "While the US is still home to the largest movie market in the world, a film's performance overseas is rapidly becoming a more substantial factor in determining its overall success."
China is currently the world's second largest film market.
Legendary Pictures, the studio that bankrolled Warcraft, was bought by the Chinese Dalian Wanda group of companies in January for $3.5bn.
Armed with this knowledge, she chose to undergo a double mastectomy in 2013 to reduce the risk to around 5%.
This kind of genetic testing can now be done much faster and at lower cost, giving clinicians the ability to target treatments more effectively.
And combining this technological breakthrough with cloud computing and artificial intelligence is giving pharmaceutical companies the tools to develop drugs faster and with greater chance of success.
One beneficiary of this new approach is Eric Dishman, founder of tech giant Intel's first health research and innovation laboratory in 1999 and a founding member of its digital health group in 2005.
When he was 19 years old he was diagnosed with a rare form of kidney cancer. He then had to endure 23 years of trial-and-error treatment, and was about to go on dialysis, when a tech company offered to sequence his genome for him.
This helped identify the faulty gene causing the cancer and enabled doctors to work out which drugs were likely to be the most effective.
Now 47 and cancer-free, Mr Dishman is determined that other cancer patients should have access to the same treatment he finally did.
"My doctors had never done anything with the genome sequence before. It turns out that 92% of the drugs I had been on would never have worked, but they didn't know that," Mr Dishman says.
It took three months for doctors to analyse his genome sequence, then another four months to compare his genomic results with similar patients in hospitals across the United States.
Mr Dishman wanted to speed this process up and so helped to found the Collaborative Cancer Cloud (CCC), an initiative launched last year by Intel and Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU).
The CCC enables hospitals and research institutions to share patient genomic, imaging, and clinical data securely for potentially lifesaving discoveries.
"It's using the cloud in a very different way," Mr Dishman says. "If you look around the world, the top cancer centres pool their data and make a little cloud where people come together and do research. That's a great thing to do. But the problem is that only about 4% of the data is available to look at."
The aim of the CCC is to bring the other 96% of the data into the equation, and allow hospitals and research centres to share information more effectively so that they can find the ideal treatment plan for cancer patients based on how individuals with the same genomic patterns have reacted to certain treatments.
More Cloud Computing features from Technology of Business
The tech allows users to share anonymised data securely, with every specific query and answer being wrapped in an encrypted shell before being sent.
"All of those that are using a centralised system can adopt a federalised approach and connect with each other," Mr Dishman says.
Intel and Oregon Health and Science University are now working with the two other cancer research institutions to see if the idea will work with other researchers and clinicians.
The plan is to extend the cloud platform to other institutions and countries as well. It could also be used for researching other "faulty gene" illnesses, such as muscular dystrophy.
"We're still on this journey," Mr Dishman says. "One of the things that we saw is that the oncologists [cancer specialists] that were interested in viewing genomic medicine were so swamped trying to make the tech work that they were not seeing patients.
"One of the ways we measure our success is whether the oncologists can go back to being oncologists."
Intel's CCC aims to show exactly what drugs should be used with which patients, but there are still drugs yet to be discovered. And cloud computing is helping with this process, too.
So-called "in silico" research involves using computers to model and test potential molecules and compounds before they ever make into a real world lab.
For instance, North Carolina-based Cloud Pharmaceuticals has developed a platform that combines artificial intelligence and cloud computing to search virtual chemical space for new - as yet unmade - molecular compounds that show the most promise of being developed into effective drugs.
This hi-tech pre-selection process increases the chances of success, says Cloud Pharmaceuticals chief executive Ed Addison. It also means these candidate molecules can be tested in fewer animals and the drug development cycle speeded up.
"Collaborative drug discovery and development can be securely managed among multiple partners via the cloud, which is what Cloud Pharmaceuticals does," says Mr Addison.
Meanwhile, Japanese tech company Fujitsu has been working with the University of Tokyo to use IT-based drug discovery to develop pharmacologically active compounds with the potential to become anti-cancer drugs.
Of the four main stages before new drugs arrive on the market, the second stage is compound design and synthesis evaluation - this is the area Fujitsu is working on.
"In silico drug discovery... allows for the design of various compounds that people wouldn't usually come up with, then after narrowing them down, carries out a compound evaluation," said Nozomu Kamiya, director in the healthcare systems unit at Fujitsu.
This allows the company to assess how effective a new compound might be "before it is actually physically made", he says.
"Together with the development of cloud computing, I think we will witness in silico drug discovery bringing innovation to new drug-related R&D [research and development] in the near future."
Takudzwa Musiyarira, health specialist at research company Frost & Sullivan, says cloud computing has "enormous potential" to improve healthcare services.
"Importantly, using genome research means that those at risk of developing cancer may be identified and remedial action taken before the onset of the disease," he tells the BBC.
"However, security continues to be a major concern for healthcare IT, especially with cyber threats on the increase, so these projects need to ensure that patient privacy is prioritised."

He was struck by the two metre by two metre block coming down off Pygmy Ridge.
The ridge was previously the scene of a fatal rockfall.
A small group from the Cairngorm Mountain Rescue Team went to the man's aid on Sunday afternoon and escorted him to safety.
The incident came after an accident in the Cairngorms on Saturday when a climber injured an arm in a rockfall on Fingers Ridge.
Taffy Mark Evans, 56, formerly of Old Shoreham Road, Lancing, carried out the attacks in Surrey, Sussex and south Wales during the 1980s and 1990s.
Following a trial at Lewes Crown Court, he was found guilty of 19 historic sex offences, and seven counts of making indecent photographs of children.
Evans was a scout leader in Reigate, Surrey, during the 1990s.
He also worked as a train guard on the Redhill to Littlehampton route.
The offences were committed in Charlwood and Redhill in Surrey, Brighton, Burgess Hill and Crawley in Sussex, and Swansea, in south Wales.
After the hearing, Sussex Police said Evans, now of The Crescent, Hurstbourne Tarrant, Hampshire, had systematically groomed and sexually assaulted the boys.
Det Con Heidi McCall said: "He first gained their confidence as a helpful family friend who took them out on trips, including train journeys, swimming and fishing, bought them presents and treats, but then gradually began to abuse each of them."
She said the case showed all reports would be taken seriously no matter how long ago the events occurred.
The 2016-17 competition begins with 183 extra preliminary round ties - the first of 13 hurdles before the final on 27 May, 2017.
Involved at this early stage is a former semi-finalist-turned-manager while Cheddar - hailing from the Somerset village famous for cheese - are in the FA Cup for the first time in their 125th anniversary season.
In addition, at least two teams have been forced to bring forward their fixtures for unusual reasons.
All the FA Cup extra preliminary round fixtures
Tony Hackworth was aged 20 when David O'Leary sent him on as a substitute for his Leeds United debut. He has good reason to remember it as it was at the Nou Camp against Barcelona in the Champions League.
Sixteen years on, Hackworth is player-coach at ninth-tier Northern Counties East Premier Division Pickering Town, who are away to Sunderland Ryhope CW on Saturday.
"I remember we got absolutely battered by Barcelona," recalled the 36-year-old, who joined Leeds as a 15-year-old forward and left in 2001 when Notts County signed him for £120,000.
"We were 2-0 down, I didn't expect to come on, but with about 15 minutes remaining I was out there playing in front of 85,000. Patrick Kluivert scored two late goals and we lost 4-0."
Hackworth did at least manage to leave the Nou Camp with a souvenir of his visit after exchanging shirts at the end with former Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Petit.
"It's in a frame, hanging on one of my walls at home. I doubt my shirt is hanging on his wall..." added the Durham-born player.
Hackworth went on to make another substitute appearance that season against Lazio as Leeds reached the semi-finals of the Champions League before losing 3-0 on aggregate to Valencia.
Competition for places and injuries cut short Hackworth's Elland Road career and, after three seasons at Notts County, he has spent the last 12 years playing non-league.
Hackworth is not contemplating retirement just yet, not even after a ruptured Achilles tendon in a pre-season friendly has left him facing nine months on the sidelines.
However, he fully intends to spend this season in the dugout in his role as coach of Pickering, nicknamed the Pikes and founded in 1888.
When was the last time an FA Cup tie was moved because of a scarecrow festival?
Hinckley AFC, who play in the Leicestershire village of Heather, have brought forward their home tie with Heanor Town because it clashes with one of the area's biggest annual events - the Heather Scarecrow Festival.
Hinckley AFC, whose team includes former Wolves midfielder JJ Melligan, were due to host the tie on Saturday at the ground they share with Heather St John's FC.
Their facilities are being used for the festival - which attracts thousands of visitors every year - and the match will now take place on Friday (19:45 BST).
"This is our third season at Heather but it's the first time we have had to move a game because of the scarecrow festival," said Steve Jelfs, chairman of Hinckley AFC, who play in the 10th-tier Midland Football League Division One.
Another club to bring forward their tie is Ascot United, whose ground has the Berkshire town's famous racecourse as a backdrop.
They also play on Friday against Milton United as Saturday is the date for the racecourse's Shergar Cup, which is expected to attract a crowd of around 30,000.
"There are not many clubs whose ground is connected to a racecourse," said Steve Brine, director of communications at the ninth-tier Hellenic League Premier Division club.
Ascot, incidentally, featured in the first FA Cup tie to be broadcast live on Facebook, when they played Wembley at this stage of the competition in 2011 and attracted their record attendance of 1,149.
Fifteen clubs are making their FA Cup debuts and, while Cheddar have had to wait until their 125th anniversary season, Coventry United are only three years old.
United were founded in 2013 by Coventry City fans Jason Kay, Jason Timms, Marcus Green and Peter Schofield after the Sky Blues moved to Northampton due to a rent dispute.
"It wasn't a protest. Coventry City moved out of the city - it just wasn't for us," said vice-chairman Schofield ahead of United's home tie with Shawbury on Sunday.
United, who play in the city's civic colours of red and green, have won three successive promotions and play in the ninth-tier Midland Football League Premier Division. They have also set up an academy.
Schofield was at Wembley when City won the trophy in 1987. "It gets no better than the FA Cup," he said.
Cheddar, founded in 1892 and predictably nicknamed the Cheesemen, have had to wait considerably longer to play in the prestigious competition.
The Somerset village team play in the 10th-tier Western League Division One and will make a 250-mile round trip to Bodmin Town, who are champions of the 10th-tier South West Peninsula League.
"It's a great honour to be in charge of the club when they enter the FA Cup for the first time," said Cheddar manager Jared Greenhalgh.
The 15 clubs making their FA Cup debuts this weekend
Rufus Brevett once played in an FA Cup semi-final but is relishing the chance of masterminding a money-spinning run as a non-league manager.
The 46-year-old former defender is in charge of Combined Counties League Premier Division side Hanworth Villa, 14 years after being denied a place in the final by Chelsea.
Brevett was part of Jean Tigana's Fulham side which lost to John Terry's goal at Villa Park in 2002.
Appointed by Hanworth in the summer, Brevett is now hoping to create some FA Cup memories as a boss after serving the likes of Gerry Francis, Kevin Keegan and Alan Pardew as a player.
He is also looking to earn his part-time club some revenue - starting by beating Knaphill on Saturday - with the winners of this weekend's ties picking up £1,500.
"Hanworth is a well run club with good people," said Brevett, whose career also included spells at QPR and West Ham.
"I don't have to go home and wash the kit, but finance is everything at this level."
The Conservative party emerged with the most councillors after voting in both local authorities.
However, they did not win enough seats to form an outright majority meaning coalitions could be on the cards.
Dumfries and Galloway was previously run by a Labour minority administration with an SNP/Lib Dem/Independent alliance in the Borders.
In the Borders, the Tories took 15 seats followed by the SNP with nine, eight independents and two Lib Dems.
There were 16 Conservatives elected in Dumfries and Galloway with Labour and the SNP tied on 11, four independents and one Lib Dem.
It means a number of combinations could, potentially, end up running the local authorities.
Tyler Perkins, 18, attacked the hedgehog, which later died, in his garden in Croft Street, Ipswich, on 9 September.
Magistrates in the town found Perkins, who did not attend the hearing, guilty of inflicting "unnecessary suffering" to the animal.
He is due to be sentenced on 3 January.
The court heard a statement from RSPCA investigating officer Jason Finch, who said Perkins told him he "wasn't really thinking" during the attack.
He said Perkins had a drink problem, felt remorse and wished the incident never happened.
The attack was in a town which has been identified as a hot spot for hedgehogs and where work is ongoing by Suffolk Wildlife Trust to protect the species.
Speaking outside the court, RSPCA inspector Natalie Bartle said: "It was an act of senseless cruelty towards this hedgehog.
"We all know that the hedgehog population is currently on the decline, seriously on the decline in fact.
"Hedgehogs need to be looked after, not treated with cruelty."
Film manager Rosie Ellison said Scotland attracted £52m through production in 2015, while the UK as a whole brought in more than £2bn.
Giving evidence at Holyrood, she urged investment in studios to attract more productions such as TV hit Outlander.
SNP MSP Richard Lochhead said Scotland's 2.5% share of the UK market was "not good enough".
MSPs were told Outlander, a huge US production, had built its own private film studio at Wardpark in Cumbernauld, North Lanarkshire.
But Ms Ellison, the film manager of Film Edinburgh, said the majority of the £2bn was spent on studio production south of the border.
"This is where the money is being spent," she told Holyrood's culture committee.
"In Scotland we have Wardpark Studio which is brilliant, thank goodness we have this, and other than that we have various sheds, which get converted for a short period of time while a film uses it and then they are set back to normal.
"That's one of the reasons we haven't been able to get more of the £2bn that is available out there, we haven't got the studio infrastructure."
She welcomed the decision by Scottish ministers to approve planning permission for a controversial film studio development in the Pentlands, but added: "We still need more film studios in Scotland."
Freelance location manager Lloret Dunn, who has worked on World War Z which was filmed in Glasgow and Trainspotting T2, said Wardpark is not available to productions other than Outlander.
She said: "With a studio, we will be providing so much more in the way of jobs and benefit our economy dramatically."
Marie Archer, arts development officer at Aberdeen City and Shire Film Office, told the committee an increase in film production had been "life-changing" in her area.
She said: "In the last five years we have had an increase in production that has been life-changing for our communities.
"My communities have seen opportunities to have feature films filmed in their local towns. I've had a young person whose come back to film in his home town as part of a professional crew. We've had young people who have told us it was life-changing.
"While we understand that the creative economy has a huge power within Scotland, in some of our regions that creative economy is only lightly touching our regions.
"In the north east of Scotland film has changed that for us, but we need further support and investment to maintain that in a time when local authorities are having to make some strong choices."
Commercial or political?
The story broke too late on Sunday evening for the morning newspapers, but Egyptian TV channels were full of analysts seeking to explain the move.
State broadcasters followed the official line that this is a trade dispute. Channel One TV hosted political analyst Mahmud Zahir on its morning discussion programme. He firmly denied that the story endangered the Camp David peace accords between Egypt and Israel, and noted that the cancellation of the contract "could be reversed" at any time if payment were received.
The official Nile News TV channel's From Cairo programme interviewed Ibrahim Issawi, a former deputy oil minister, who also emphasized the commercial aspect of the decision.
In contrast, coverage on private Dream 2 TV was more strident, and demanded clarification from the Egyptian military government about what the decision means. A presenter described the Israeli reaction as "hysterical", "outrageous" and "expressing a kind of uncontrolled nervousness".
On its Sunday night 10 PM programme the presenter said "we want to know the circumstances surrounding this decision, which was a wish for some people and a nightmare for others".
Gen Samih Sayf al-Yazal told the programme that that an Israeli warning to its citizens to leave Sinai three days earlier had been a "pre-emptive move" after Israel had allegedly learned of Egypt's intention to suspend gas supplies. He said the cancellation was "in response to popular wishes with respect to the gas issue. The Egyptian people feel shocked about this contract, and feel that their money has been plundered". He was sure that Egypt's military government, which has not commented so far, was consulted on the decision. The Gas Holding Company "cannot take such a decision without informing the country's leaders", Gen Al-Yazal concluded.
Prominent Egyptian Facebook and blog commentators noted the official reticence. The 6th of April Youth Movement's Facebook page reported the news with suspicion: "Ten minutes and we will find a denial of the news from another part of the leadership."
On her English-language blog "Egyptian Chronicles", Zeinobia commented, "Ok news is contradictory in Cairo. There are military sources as well as the minister of oil in Egypt that have denied the news that they cancelled the agreement to export gas to Israel while there are confirmed sources saying that Cairo has cancelled the deal !!"
Twitter users were generally enthusiastic, Leftwing Nasserite presidential candidate Hamdin Sabbahi tweeted: "I hail the decision to stop exporting Egyptian gas to the Zionist entity. We hope the implementation of the decision will continue out of respect for the will of the people and the judiciary's rulings, and in order to protect our national wealth."
"Dangerous precedent"
Israeli public broadcasters concentrated on statements by Israeli officials, in particular Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman's call for Egypt to reverse its decision so that the commercial disagreement might not turn into a "political issue".
Press comment was gloomier, with a general view that relations can only deteriorate further. Zvi Barel in liberal Ha'aretz said that "if it turns out that Egypt has really unilaterally decided to terminate the agreement, it may be a dangerous precedent that indicates other agreements between Egypt and Israel may also come to an end".
Amir Ben-David in mass-circulation Yediot Aharonot also saw a threat to the Camp David accords: "This move could turn out to be a first, fundamental step in abrogating the peace agreements."
Boaz Bismuth in the pro-government freesheet Yisrael Hayom went even further, saying that "our southern neighbour could turn into an enemy state much earlier than expected. Egypt will no longer supply us with gas, but will continue to supply us, regrettably, with other combustible material".

The trio, including former BBC reporter Peter Greste, went on trial in February, accused of spreading false news and aiding a terrorist group.
They deny the charges, labelled by al-Jazeera as "absurd".
The case has drawn widespread condemnation from international media and human rights groups.
The three journalists are among 20 people facing similar charges. Only eight are currently in custody, while the remaining 12 are being tried in absentia.
A fourth al-Jazeera reporter, Abdullah Elshamy, who works for the network's Arabic channel, has been detained since August but not charged.
Mr Elshamy is on hunger strike and his wife says his health is deteriorating.
Peter Greste, al-Jazeera's Egyptian-Canadian Cairo bureau chief Mohamed Adel Fahmy and a local Egyptian producer, Baher Mohamed, were seized in a raid on a Cairo hotel in December.
They are accused of having aided the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood organisation, which Egyptian authorities banned and declared a terrorist group last December.
In his last court appearance last week, Mr Greste said the allegations were "preposterous".
The three men share a cell in which they are confined for 23 hours a day. Relatives say they remain strong, but are being denied adequate access to their lawyers.
Calls for their release have come from the European Union and the United Nations, among others.
On Monday, journalists launched a Twitter campaign posting images of themselves with black tape over their mouths at #freejournalism to highlight the increasing threat against reporters around the world.
At the BBC headquarters in London, scores of staff gathered in solidarity and held a minute's silence, hands clasped over their mouths.
The Egyptian authorities have accused Qatar-based al-Jazeera of bias and being overtly sympathetic to the Muslim Brotherhood.
The case marks the first time journalists have been charged with terrorism-related offences in Egypt, amid fears of a media crackdown by the military-backed authorities.

Alexander Kokorin missed the best chance of a lifeless opening half, heading wide from six yards.
Substitute Kevin Mirallas hit a post with Belgium's first shot on target with six minutes remaining.
"On the balance of play, Belgium do not deserve it, but Marc Wilmots will say, 'We have six points from two games, we are growing into this tournament'. But they have been poor. They will not go far."
But Origi turned in from Eden Hazard's cross to take Marc Wilmots' team into the knock-out phase.
Russia's hopes of following them into the last 16 now hinge on their final group match against Algeria.
Fabio Capello's side were better than in their 1-1 draw with South Korea but still lacked a cutting edge and Belgium found a way to win despite an unconvincing display.
Origi, 19, impressed when he came off the bench in the opening 2-1 victory over Algeria and, once again, the Lille forward did well when he replaced Romelu Lukaku - who appeared far from happy with the decision - early in the second half.
They may have six points from two matches, but Belgium - who lost Arsenal defender Thomas Vermaelen to injury - will have to play far better to continue their progress.
All three of Belgium's goals have been scored by substitutes.
Another player do well coming on against Algeria, Dries Mertens was given a starting place and carried all of Belgium's threat down the right flank in the first half.
The Napoli winger had an effort blocked after a fine run and, following Kevin de Bruyne's surge forward, he attempted to feed Romelu Lukaku rather than shooting from a good position.
Mertens drove wide of goal after another impressive break but other than that Russia were barely troubled in a slow opening half.
They went close themselves when Viktor Fayzluin's low effort was pushed away by Thibaut Courtois, who also made a scrambling stop from Maksim Kanunikov.
Kokorin should have opened the scoring just before the interval but he glanced a header wide at the far post from Denis Glushakov's fine cross.
Glushakov thumped a wild effort off target from a narrow angle as the second half started at an even lower tempo with both sides appearing content with a draw.
Andrey Eschenko dragged an effort wide after a decent Russian move, then Everton winger Mirallas was denied by the foot of a post.
Hazard drove wide after breaking into the area but the Chelsea forward made a more decisive contribution in the 88th minute, breaking down the left flank and pulling back for Origi to score.
Belgium manager Marc Wilmots:
"[Origi] is in a good space right now. He's 19 years old. It was a bit of a surprise since he was an unknown before I selected him. Now everyone knows who he is.
"It was a hard game because the Russians were expecting us - the players were tired, it was hot, the Russians were already cramping up after 60 minutes.
"It was not an easy match but I think we deserved to win it."
Russia manager Fabio Capello:
"I am very happy with the performance the team and I thought the result was unfair.
"The truth of the matter is we had chances to win it but we lost. Both teams gave it their all and unfortunately it was Belgium that was able to make it.
"We have to look forward and I said when we came to play in this World Cup after being absent for 12 years that this will be a great help for us to understand the level we need to be at in future competitions."
This massive tome will be published in four stages over the next year - the first part, the physical science behind climate change, will be presented in Stockholm on 26 September.
The process of compiling this report - with several hundred scientists, 195 governments and over 100 non-governmental organisations involved - has been particularly leaky, with at least three confidential drafts being made public in the last year.
According to the latest scoop, the scientists are set to say they are more convinced than ever that global warming is caused by humans. They will say they are 95% certain that our use of fossil fuels is the main reason behind the global rise in temperatures since the 1950s.
The panel will also outline why global temperatures have been rising more slowly since 1998, a controversial slowdown that scientists have been struggling to explain.
According to the leak, they will put it down to natural meteorological variations and other factors that could include greater absorption of heat into the deep oceans - and the possibility that the climate is less sensitive to carbon dioxide than had previously been believed.
Many climate sceptics have argued that this is a key factor behind the temperature slowdown, and a good reason not to believe the more extreme predictions of those they dismiss as warmist conspirators.
But those involved with the IPCC say that even now, just a month away from publication, you would be "foolish in the extreme" to take this latest leak as conclusive.
"It is guaranteed it will change," said Jonathan Lynn, spokesman for the IPCC. "In September, the scientists will go through the 15-page summary for policymakers, line by line."
"We've already given it to governments for their thoughts, and we've had 1,800 comments on that 15-page document," he said.
When the previous IPCC report came out in 2007, it ran into two major problems.
The first issue was the discovery of basic errors - including the embarrassing claim that all the glaciers in the Himalayas would have melted by 2035.
The second was the so called Climategate affair, in which leaked emails purported to show leading scientists trying to manipulate their data to make the report more damning.
Ultimately, several investigations showed the accusations of manipulation to be false.
To try to ensure there was no repeat in this year's report, the IPCC determined to be as open as possible.
Almost anyone who claimed any expertise in the field could register to be a reviewer. There have already been several leaks as a result of this open approach.
"We are not trying to keep it secret," Jonathan Lynn told BBC News. "After the report is finished, we are going to publish all the comments and responses so that people can track the process.
"We just think it's misleading to get hold of these drafts and put them out and draw conclusions from them."
The ongoing problems with leaks is one of the reasons behind the mutterings that this large-scale, multi-faceted report from the IPCC could be its last.
There are some who argue that having a mega-event every seven years is misguided: science is moving much faster than that, and the process itself is too arduous for the hundreds of scientists involved.
"There are people who say: why not put all the drafts out there, let everyone look at them and that will be the end of it," said Jonathan Lynn. "I think there will certainly be an IPCC in the future but there may not be these big blockbuster events."

She was popular with the West for her efforts to bring Ukraine's banking system closer to international levels.
But she was also seen by some in Ukraine as a "Russian stooge".
Many banks were being run as glorified piggy banks for local billionaires.
The 52-year old is credited with allowing the local currency, the hryvnia, to find its own level, a move that saved the central bank from running out of money.
However, that move, undertaken on the advice of the International Monetary Fund, also cut the value of people's savings and introduced soaring inflation.
Local disapproval has prompted aggressive stunts, including a coffin being placed outside her house and the image of a pig wrapped in a Russian flag sprayed on her walls.
Some of her enemies suggested she should be jailed for her actions.
Ms Gontareva said her successor at the National Bank of Ukraine would also struggle against vested interests: "There will be political pressure on anyone who has this job. For this reason, I would like to tell my successor: be strong."
Ukraine has been caught up in armed conflict since 2014, when Russia annexed Ukraine's southern Crimea peninsula.
Pro-Russian rebels later launched an insurgency in the east.
Ms Gontareva said her resignation had been submitted voluntarily.
At worst Brexit could devastate the farming sector; on average 60% of farm incomes come in the form of EU subsidies.
The report by Informa Agribusiness Intelligence estimates that without subsidies 90% of farms would collapse and land prices would crash.
So far no one has said the subsidies will be taken away, or even that they will shrink.
Indeed, the government has promised to match them up until 2020.
But beyond that it has promised nothing.
This week has seen a flurry of activity as the farming industry tries to grapple with what comes next.
MPs from the Environmental Audit Committee warned on Tuesday of the dangers of Brexit to farming. Its report, the Future of the Natural Environment after the EU Referendum, says:
Meanwhile farmers gathered at the Oxford Farming Conference (OFC) this week to listen to the Environment Secretary Andrea Leadsom, but there were precious few details on what would happen once EU subsidies go.
"We will be consulting in the near future on exactly the shape of future farm and agriculture support," said Ms Leadsom. "I will be committed to supporting farming in both the short and longer term."
Also at the OFC was George Eustice, Minister of State at the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA, who was a little more detailed.
"I want to support agriculture to where it becomes more profitable, more vibrant, so we see expanding food production in this country, where we are supporting farmers to deliver eco-system services.
"So that rather than telling them 'here's a subsidy now here's a list of environmental demands', we should be saying to farmers you have a role to play to enhance our agricultural environment, and we are going to reward you for those services that you offer."
The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) started in 1962 as the first members of what is now the EU emerged from over a decade of food shortages during and after World War Two.
Its emphasis was on production and food security but as farmers were paid for whatever they produced, they over-produced leading to food "mountains".
A reform process, including the "greening" of the CAP which emphasised environmental practices, has resulted in farmers mostly being paid depending on how much land they own - but some wealthy UK landowners now receive subsidies of up to £3m a year.
For instance, the Newmarket farm of Khalid Abdullah al Saud, billionaire owner of the legendary horse Frankel, receives £400,000 a year. Lord Iveagh who lives on the 22,486-acre Elveden Estate in Suffolk, receives over £900,000.
Yet working out what to replace EU subsidies with is raising passions.
At the same conference the journalist and environmental activist George Monbiot had a run-in with the deputy head of the National Farmers Union (NFU) Minette Batters over the role of farmers after Brexit.
Mr Monbiot believes farming subsidies should be replaced by a fund to alleviate rural poverty, an environmental fund and help for new entrants into the sector.
When he asked Ms Batters if she was happy to see subsidies paid to wealthy farmers. Ms Batters hesitated and then said: "It depends on what they do with it," adding "I can't emphasise it enough, farmers embrace the environment".
An aghast-looking Mr Monbiot replied saying "Farmers, have, more than any other group been responsible for the environmental degradation of the countryside."
A few hundred yards down the road, another conference was going on. This was the Oxford Real Farming Conference (ORFC), set up 10 years ago to give an alternative view on farming.
While the OFC is all suits, largely men, and a large NFU presence, the ORFC is more woolly jumpers, more women, more beards and more delegates, many of them young.
The two are not absolutely opposed to each other - coming together this year for the first time to jointly discuss the weighty subject of cheese and how to produce it.
And the feeling at both conferences is that, despite uncertainties, everyone sees huge opportunities once the UK is no longer in the Common Agricultural Policy.
And, of course, everyone is pushing their own agenda.
Guy Watson, the founder of the country's largest organic retailer, Riverford Organic Farmers, bravely told a gathering of livestock farmers that "there is no getting away from it, we have to eat less meat"
David Baldock, a senior fellow at the Institute for European Environmental Policy said: "It's really not the end of the world to think that we are going to produce slightly less and better."
Surprisingly neither were shouted down and there were even suggestions from the audience that VAT ought to be levied on meat.
While most of the lobby groups have a view on reforming subsidies, they are less clear about the problem of trade.
If there is no free trade agreement with the EU, Britain would rely on trading rules laid down by the World Trade Organisation (WTO) which could be very uncomfortable for farmers having to pay taxes, or tariffs, to sell into the single market.
Calum Kerr, MSP and Environment, Food and Rural Affairs spokesman for the SNP, said 90% of beef and lamb exports, and 70% of pork exports go to the EU.
"WTO rules would look at a minimum tariff into the EU of 20%. On red meat which ... is critically important [economic] modelling suggests anywhere between 50% and.... a 76% increase in costs into the EU market.
"That's why we believe we should remain a part of the EU market."
The NFU's Ms Batters said: "We have to do a deal with Europe and it is a deal that will shape our landscape for generations to come."
As for competing with countries outside the EU, Ms Leadsom promised she wouldn't lower environmental and animal welfare standards to clinch free trade deals.
Ms Batters, herself a beef farmer, said: "The problem is that getting free trade deals in agriculture is notoriously difficult.
"Take Argentina. Michael Gove says he wants to do a deal with the South American countries. "But they have a completely different system of rearing beef, using a degree of genetically modified products.
"I simply can't compete with that."
Nearly everyone believes Brexit offers an opportunity to change the system, but no one can agree how.
Stephen Yabsley, 53, was arrested on Wednesday over an attack in Kingsbridge in which the officers are said to have sustained serious arm injuries.
Mr Yabsley has also been charged with a public order offence.
He was remanded in custody by Torbay magistrates to appear at Plymouth Crown Court on 1 June.
The officers are recovering in hospital, said police.
Mr Yabsley, of Retreat Close, Kingsbridge, also faces a common assault charge relating to another incident, which will be heard at Torquay Magistrates Court next Friday.
A meeting of Fifa Congress, due to be held in December, will select a new president after incumbent Sepp Blatter called for "profound restructuring".
"Quite frankly we need some new names and new thinking," said Scudamore.
"The thing has to change. Everybody's been saying it for some time. Clearly this a seismic shift in the dynamic."
United States and Swiss prosecutors are separately investigating alleged corruption at world football's governing body. Seven Fifa officials were arrested in Switzerland in May and a further seven people indicted.
Blatter, 79, appeared to stand down from his post on 2 June when he said he would "lay down my mandate" but has since stated he "did not resign" and is believed to be considering standing for re-election.
Scudamore, however, wants to see new blood given a chance.
"In some ways it almost needs a corporate, proper businessperson, as opposed to a football politician," he told BBC Sport's Richard Conway. "The problem with football politicians is, it's all about votes. We need someone who can transcend that and is a more unifying candidate.
"It's right that the game is run on a one country, one vote basis, I don't think there's one country that's bigger than any other, despite anybody's history. Therefore you need a unifying candidate that somehow transcends the past."
Scudamore says he has no plans to run himself to succeed Blatter - and does not believe any English candidate would be right for the role.
"The idea that anybody from England would be suitable for a world-unifying candidate would be very difficult. It's one of the reasons we don't do so well when we bid for World Cups," he said.
"England is seen to have had its day in terms of running world football and probably it needs someone from one of the emerging nations, shall we say, or at least somebody who is independent of what's gone on in the past."
Scudamore was speaking on the day the Premier League published its review of the 2014-15 season, a document that outlines prize payments to clubs, fan demographics, player statistics and grass roots initiatives.
The Premier League review revealed:
Prize money is awarded using a system dating to the formation of the league in 1992, which last season resulted in a ratio of 1.53:1 between the club finishing top and the club finishing bottom.
"It's essential, which is why Burnley could come up last season and they could beat Manchester City, draw with Manchester City, draw at Chelsea. That's because they've got enough income to compete," said Scudamore.
"Every time they take the field against any team, no matter whether it's the top of the league or whatever, they can compete in that individual match, and that I think stands us out from any every other league.
"The more income everybody has.... it narrows the competitive gap."
"Occupancy is clearly an important measure, attendance is an important measure. After making sure we have the best players we can on the field, the number one strategic priority is to make sure the stadia are full," said the chief executive.
"Clubs have to work very hard to make sure the stadiums remain full. These are important things must the clubs to strive at, to keep ever increasing those numbers."
Celtic have been granted permission to introduce a safe standing area and could become the first top-flight club in Scotland to do so.
Scudamore said: "It's very hard while the whole Hillsborough issue is still very raw and such an emotive issue, the idea that we're contemplating opening even that small risk I just think is very difficult.
"In many ways it's almost like: 'not on my watch'. Having spent all of my professional working career in football with the shadow of Hillsborough around me, it's just very hard.
"It might seem Luddite, it might seem old-fashioned, but I just find it very hard personally, as the administrator, to even expose myself to the risk of something that is not as safe as what we've got now."
"It's great, and it's why all the investment in the Elite Player Performance Plan has been so essential," said Scudamore.
"Fifty-four home-grown players, I think 44 that played in the Under-21 league, so all the numbers are going in the right direction.
"There is English talent coming through and they're coming through in ever-increasing numbers. They are technically gifted, physically gifted and also I think, from a holistic education point of view, there's an intelligent group of young players coming through that are more rounded a better-prepared than they've ever been."
"It's absolutely fantastic," added Scudamore.
"All the clubs have been investing and making big strides in the past couple of years and obviously we're obviously involved at the grass roots and lower levels.
"The whole thing is growing, from the bottom of the base and up through the academy system, and any success at the top level is great."
The Welsh Affairs Select Committee says lessons need to be learnt from HMP Oakwood near Wolverhampton.
The privately-run jail has been troubled by prisoner unrest, including a 10-hour disturbance in January 2014.
The Prison Service will run Wrexham's £212m jail which will house 2,000 inmates, making it the UK's biggest.
In Friday's report, the MPs highlight problems at Oakwood, including the "overwhelming" use of new, inexperienced staff when the site opened in 2012.
Committee chairman David Davies said: "The new prison at Wrexham will go some way toward addressing the overcrowding of prisons in Wales, but it will not open until late 2017.
"A successful opening should not be put at risk by pressure to realise the new capacity too quickly.
"If we are to learn the lessons of the past, it must be opened slowly and steadily."
The report also found that Welsh prisons were "generally performing better than their counterparts in England", despite being more overcrowded.
It also calls for improved data collection on Welsh speakers in prisons.
That's 91 days longer than the hospital in Phoenix reported, says the inspector general for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
It also said at least 1,700 veterans were not even on waiting lists because they were not properly registered.
President Barack Obama called the findings "deeply troubling".
"We have substantiated that significant delays in access to care negatively impacted the quality of care at this medical facility," acting inspector general Richard Griffin wrote in the report.
Investigators reviewing a sample of 226 patients found that while their average wait time for a first appointment was 115 days, the medical centre instead reported it as 24 days.
Arizona Senator John McCain has called on Veterans Secretary Eric Shinseki to resign.
Mr Shinseki called the report's findings "reprehensible to me, to this department and to veterans", and said he would direct the hospital to immediately address each of the veterans waiting for medical appointments.
The White House has come under growing pressure from veterans groups, congressional Republicans and the media after it was alleged that officials at the Phoenix VA hospital maintained secret records to avoid reporting to Washington the true length of time veterans had to wait for appointments.
Last month, a retired doctor at that hospital told broadcaster CNN he believed as many as 40 veterans had died while waiting months to be seen.
Last week, President Barack Obama acknowledged veterans had to wait too long to receive medical care and vowed to punish any dishonourable misconduct related to the scandal.
"When I hear allegations of misconduct, any misconduct, whether it's allegations of VA staff covering up long wait times or cooking the books, I will not stand for it, not only as commander in chief but also as an American," Mr Obama said in a White House press conference on 21 May.
One day prior to Mr Obama's comments, the VA inspector general's office said 26 veterans hospitals and facilities were being investigated.
But investigators have said they have not yet linked any patient deaths to the delays in care.
The recent allegations also come amid ongoing issues at the VA, including a lengthy backlog in disability claims and high veteran unemployment.
Earlier this month, the American Legion, a prominent veterans group, and the Army Times, an influential independent newspaper, called on Mr Shinseki to step down.
At an appearance before a Senate panel earlier this month, Mr Shinseki said he was "mad as hell" over the allegations but was waiting for the inspector general's report before taking action.
"Whatever comes out of this, whatever is substantiated, we will take action," he told reporters after that hearing.
Mr Llewellyn, from Cardiff, died in the one-car crash on the A449 southbound near Usk on Thursday.
The 80-year-old driver, who was taken to Nevill Hall Hospital in Abergavenny, has been discharged.
The passenger in the Renault Captor, also 80, remains in Newport's Royal Gwent Hospital in a stable condition.
London Fire Brigade (LFB) has to respond within six minutes and said its response times were "on target".
But Labour's London Assembly members said 371 of London's 649 wards had seen response times increase between January and August compared with last year.
The average response times went up by 12 seconds while 37 wards saw increases of more than a minute.
Labour Assembly Member Fiona Twycross said: "Fires can take hold in seconds, that's why any increase in response times can be so dangerous.
"As a result of Mayor Boris Johnson's decision to close 10 fire stations and with the removal of a further 13 fire engines... we have seen response times rise in over half of the capital's wards."
The biggest increase was in the Royal Docks ward in Newham which saw first response times increase from five minutes and eight seconds to seven minutes and 56 seconds - an increase of two minutes and 48 seconds.
But LFB said the results had come in as they had predicted.
"We are still within our London-wide targets to get a first fire engine to an incident in six minutes and a second in eight minutes, on average," the brigade said.
"In many wards where response [times] have increased, they have done so by less than 15 seconds."
The research found that 214 wards, on average, had to wait more than the expected six minutes.
Earlier in the year fire stations were closed in Belsize, Bow, Clerkenwell, Downham, Kingsland, Knightsbridge, Silvertown, Southwark, Westminster and Woolwich to save LFB £28.8m. The changes included the loss of 552 firefighters and 14 fire engines.
London now has 102 fire stations and 155 fire engines.
Pictures showed Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet lying on the pavement in the Left Bank street market in Paris.
She was taken to hospital and prosecutors have opened an investigation.
The man called her a "crappy bobo", an AFP reporter said. Bobo is a derogatory term for an urban hipster.
Ms Kosciusko-Morizet, widely known by her initials NKM, is a high-profile figure on the centre-right of French politics.
The MP had been handing out Republican party election leaflets ahead of Sunday's National Assembly election.
Witnesses heard the man tell the MP: "It's your fault [Anne] Hidalgo is mayor today", a reference to her defeat in the 2014 Paris mayoral election.
An AFP photographer at the scene said the man seized the leaflets and tried to throw them back in the politician's face. Ms Kosciusko-Morizet then lost her balance and hit her head on the ground. She was unconscious for several minutes.
The man left the scene immediately, while being chased by a party official.
A former environment minister, NKM is at risk of losing her Assembly seat to a candidate from the centrist party of President Emmanuel Macron.
Her rival, Gilles le Gendre, suspended campaigning and Prime Minister Edouard Philippe visited her in hospital.
At one point NKM was seen as a potential candidate for the centrist government but decided to run for the National Assembly for the Republicans. She was the only woman in the race for this year's Republican presidential nomination.
The Firhill side went into Wednesday's match three points clear of 11th place after defeat by Motherwell, albeit with games in hand.
"We were really poor on all accounts against Motherwell," said Archibald. "Motherwell were hungrier and had more desire than us and we lacked that.
"I thought we showed that tonight and matched it with some great football."
Archibald was thrilled by the result and quality of performance, particularly in the opening half when his side capitalised on some fine football through goals by Callum Booth and Steven Lawless.
"We asked the lads for a reaction and I thought we got that," Archibald told BBC Scotland.
"Fantastic goals. Callum Booth popped up and we asked the lads to get goals from other areas, not just rely on our striker.
"[Mathias] Pogba did magnificent tonight; his link-up play getting us up the pitch and allowing other guys to play. Delighted with our overall performance."
Archibald's side are now seventh in the Scottish Premiership and six points clear of Kilmarnock, who occupy the relegation play-off place.
"It's a great victory," Archibald said. "We said to the lads we can take something from these midweek games. We know we've got a real tough run of fixtures now, the top three in the league coming up.
"It gives us great confidence going into those games. We know how crazy the league is and everybody's dropping points at different stages.
"If we concentrate on getting away from that bottom area of the table we'll creep up without knowing it. We'll build from there.
"In the last couple of years we've stayed up and hopefully we'll go and do it again this year. That's our aim at the start of the season. We're not getting ahead of ourselves, we've not done anything yet."
It was a frustrating night for St Johnstone following a creditable 1-1 draw with Aberdeen at Pittodrie last time out.
They drop to sixth with their top-six hopes still very much alive but more fragile than they might have expected.
"We lost a game that we went into with a lot of confidence," said manager Tommy Wright.

"First four, five minutes were alright but if you don't make tackles and allow shots from the edge of the box, we found ourselves 2-0 down.
"Two moments of lapse of concentration, we end up 2-0 down and an uphill task.
"We can't keep conceding the first goal and early goals, which has been an Achilles heel all season.
"Particularly second-half I thought we dominated it and there wasn't much between the two sides. We've got to look at ourselves, we didn't defend.
"I think we had a lot of opportunities. We didn't work the keeper. The first early cross we put in we get a goal [from Chris Kane]. We're guilty of wrong decisions at times in the last third because I think we've dominated possession."
The home support did seem angry at what they witnessed, perhaps as a result of a poor run of form after success over the past few seasons.
"Listen, these fans have had four unbelievable years," added Wright.
"There's a wee blip at the minute and they do show their frustration. If we go and win Wednesday night [against Inverness] they'll be back cheering you on again.
"I'll defend my players. We're still in the top six, but we know we're on a bad run but we'll get better.
"We've conceded too many goals all season and that's killing us. Individually we've made too many mistakes over the season."
Having fallen to fresh lows against the dollar and euro as traders dumped the rouble, it bounced back to trade 2% up.
The rouble's recent fall has piled pressure onto Russia's ailing economy.
The central bank said fluctuations in the currency's value "were causing concern for society" and posed "a risk to financial stability".
The weakness was caused by several fundamental factors, including falling oil prices and restrictions on access to finance on the international capital markets, the bank said.
On Wednesday, the central bank decided to limit its intervention in the financial markets.
But a one-off intervention was increasingly seen as likely, with analysts saying that Friday's initial 3% fall looked like panic. Analysts are also forecasting a rise in interest rates from the current 9.5%.
The rouble has lost more than a quarter of its value since the start of 2014.
Western sanctions over the conflict in Ukraine have played a major part in the currency's decline, by making Russia an unattractive place to keep funds.
The fall in the oil price is also important, as the export of crude is a major source of foreign currency for Russia.
The central bank has been using its own reserves in an attempt to contain the rouble's fall, but on Wednesday announced limits the amount of intervention - which sparked a sell-off.
"This is full-blown panic, with signs of a self-fulfilling currency crisis," Dmitry Polevoy, chief Russia economist at ING Bank in Moscow, said ahead of the central bank's comments. "At such times, the central bank should intervene. After all, if this isn't a risk to financial stability, then what is?"
Maxim Korovin, a forex analyst at VTB Capital, in Moscow, said the rouble's depreciation "clearly poses certain risks for financial stability".
Capital Economics said in a report that it also expected interest rates rise to as much as 12% to make it more attractive to investors to hold the currency.
Russia has a catalogue of economic problems and the downward trend of the rouble makes them even harder to fix.
Inflation is too high, now more than 8%. A falling currency drives up import prices and so aggravates that problem.
The usual policy tool for dealing with inflation is raising interest rates, which can work partly through the impact on the currency. Higher rates make the country more attractive to invest in.
But official interest rates in Russia are already high, and the economy is struggling - the IMF recently described the outlook as bleak.
Further interest rate increases may come as the Bank tries to deal with inflation, capital flight and the weakness of the currency, but normally the dismal growth outlook would call for exactly the opposite response. | Flash floods in one of the driest regions in the world - Chile's Atacama desert - have left two people dead and 24 missing, officials say.

Dale's win - combined with Millwall and Southend losing - saw Keith Hill's side close the gap to three points between themselves and the top six.
The home side took the lead after 18 minutes with a terrific breakaway goal.
Jamie Allen and Joe Rafferty combined on the edge of the Dale area to free Nathaniel Mendez-Laing up the right flank. He outpaced Chris Stokes before dinking an inviting cross to the back post for Henderson to head past Lee Burge.
A similar break down the right channel saw Henderson return the favour, his delivery sitting up just as Mendez-Laing was poised to fire at goal and the chance slipped by.
The second goal arrived in the 52nd minute, Mendez-Laing slipping a neat pass down the middle for Henderson and he wrong-footed Burge with a clever first-time finish.
Coventry's misery was compounded when Ben Stevenson was stretchered off wearing a neck brace late on following an innocuous clash.

Efimova is barred after the IOC said Russian athletes with previous doping bans could not compete.
"It seems to me extremely clear, she won't be there," said Jon Rudd.
"But if our international federation is allowed to become involved and manoeuvre around that ruling, then it wouldn't surprise me if she is there."
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) decided not to bar the entire Russian team from the 2016 Olympics, despite evidence of a state-sponsored doping programme in a report commissioned by the World Anti-Doping Association (Wada).
Rudd, who is also the coach of British 50m record holder Ben Proud, says he is unsure whether Fina, swimming's governing body, is strong enough to implement bans on athletes from influential nations.
Efimova was suspended for a second time earlier this year after testing positive for meldonium, but the case against the four-time World Championship gold medallist was dropped earlier this month.

"I really want to believe in Fina," Rudd told BBC Sport.
"I'm a swimming coach at international level working with international athletes, I want to feel that my and our world governing body has got our backs - that when somebody is doing something that they shouldn't do, that our federation says 'we're not having that'.
"That hasn't been the case, so I'll be extremely happy if Fina redefine themselves now, here's an opportunity for them.
"The IOC, in their weak decision (not to ban the entire Russian team from Rio 2016) have handed an opportunity to Fina for them to regain some credibility.
"Whether that happens or not, watch this space, but at this moment in time I'm not holding my breath."
Rudd says that the IOC missed out on a chance to clean up sport for future generations by not banning the entire Russian team from Rio.
He added: "In 50-100 years' time, people would be saying 'do you remember back in 2016, when sport was rotten, and the IOC made a stand and they made that decision and Russia didn't go, and by 2020 when we all went to Tokyo, sport was a completely different thing and the world cleaned up its act?'
"It needed that stand to do that, to make everybody sit up and say: 'wow these guys mean business'.
"It may not be the only opportunity, as I don't know that this issue is finished, you've got some very powerful people now speaking about their opinions and beliefs on this IOC decision.
"There's undoubtedly going to be controversy at the Olympics, then post-Olympics there could be another opportunity where I think the IOC will reflect and say 'maybe we weren't strong enough'.
"It's an opportunity lost and I seriously hope it's not the only one."

An investigation by the BBC has uncovered a national shortage of GPs, doctors deserting the profession and junior doctors avoiding what they see as an "unglamorous" career.
All these have culminated in the number of unfilled GP posts quadrupling in the past three years, which may help explain why your surgery's phone number is often engaged.
Surgeries are certainly struggling with growing workloads.
One in Whitehaven in Cumbria opened its phone lines at 08:00, and all 49 appointments disappeared within 12 minutes.
Dr Guy Clayton, a GP from Beverley in Yorkshire, told BBC Inside Out: "At the age of 48, like a lot of GPs, I'm looking forward to retiring from the NHS.
"I never expected to be saying that at this stage in my career. The physical volume of the work does take its toll.
"I do feel that general practice is on the verge of being irreparably broken."
An exclusive BBC Inside Out ComRes survey of 1,004 GPs across the UK found that 56% of doctors expect to retire or leave general practice before the age of 60.
25%
Percentage of GPs definitely leaving the service before 60
30% Will probably leave
32% Probably not leaving
6% Definitely not leaving
6% Don't know
Pressure is also being felt by other health practitioners and out-of-hours services which are picking up the demand for GP services.
In the north of England, the out-of-hours doctor service, Cumbria Health On Call (Choc), said it is increasingly busy because people call them when they cannot get a GP appointment.
The Choc centres, which are open outside GP hours at weekends and evenings, take up to 3,000 calls a week from patients struggling to get appointments during the working week.
In Carlisle, one in three GP surgeries has unfilled vacancies for doctors, leaving 20,000 patients, in effect, without a doctor and putting extra pressure on existing GPs in the city.
It is a picture which is reflected across England where Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt said that the results of the BBC Inside Out survey were "worrying".
• A greater role for pharmacists diagnosing and prescribing for minor ailments
• Better management of wasted patient appointments
• Increased use of locums, nurses and out-of-hours services
• Patients paying a membership fee like a gym, and then buying appointments when they need them or in bulk
But he told Inside Out a new government programme designed to encourage doctors to come back into general practice will tackle the recruitment issue.
So where does that leave the current state of GP services across the UK?
The west of England requires 25% more GPs by 2020 to keep up with demand for services, according to the Royal College of General Practitioners.
The private sector is answering the need in some places. At a new private GP practice in Bristol called the Medical, patients pay a membership fee like a gym, and then buy appointments when they need them or in bulk.
Closures are also becoming more common. The Kington Medical Practice in Herefordshire is typical in that it has been forced to close two of its branch surgeries, as a result of a continuing shortage of GPs.
According to its website, the practice has 7,900 registered patients over an area of nearly 600 sq miles, all of whom are now served by a single surgery.
The GP shortage is being exacerbated by the declining number of students going into GP practice as a speciality.
In 2013, only 20% of medical students chose to work in general practice on completion of their foundation training despite a national target of 50% by 2016.
27%
Volume of consultations
22% Other
20% Standing within profession
19% Working hours
9% Pay (3% don't know)
Work pressures and the declining status of the profession were the reasons cited by young medical students whom Inside Out spoke to at Imperial College in London.
Mitul Patel, a final-year student, said: "Your work environment is so pressured and stressful as a GP. It puts current and prospective GP trainees off."
The perception of GP practice as a "second rate" career choice is something which medical students claimed they had come across from other doctors during their training.
Rob Cleaver, editor of the Medical Student, said: "If we're told something's second rate, you instantly disregard it. I've seen people actually taken aback when someone else has said, 'I'd like to be a GP.'"
Dr Krishna Kasaraneni from the British Medical Association stressed the need for a solution to the number of GPs leaving the service.
"Politicians across the board need to acknowledge that general practice is not resourced and funded correctly.
"Trying to ask GPs to do more and more work, and not resourcing and staffing it correctly, will mean general practice will break."
Mr Hunt told Inside Out: "Hospitals have been struggling to meet increasing demand and that has taken money away from services like GPs, mental health and district nursing.
"That was wrong and we're moving to correct that. The centre of gravity in the NHS for 66 years has been big hospitals.
"We need to change that and make the centre of gravity general practice and out-of-hospital care."
But as the UK's population gets older and GPs continue to leave the profession, these changes will need to work fast before more drastic treatment is required to tackle the mounting GP shortage.
Inside Out is broadcast on Monday, 2 March on BBC One England at 19:30 GMT and nationwide for 30 days on the iPlayer thereafter.
It hit The Musician, on City Road, in Fenton, shortly before 08:00 GMT, sending bricks inside the building.
The driver, a 63-year-old man, had to be cut free from the car and was taken to hospital, but suffered only minor injuries, West Midlands Ambulance Service said.
Diane Cawley, whose partner owns the pub, said it was not clear how long it would remain closed.
"We still don't know the extent of the damage yet to the building," she said.
"The building's in a hell of a mess. We've just decorated all the way through, the windows were all replaced three or four months ago."
Despite the damage, Ms Cawley said it could have been much worse if the car had hit an hour later, when children would have been walking to the nearby school.
She said there had been a number of crashes on the road and called for railings to be put up along the pavement.
The authorities in both countries issued a red alert - the highest possible - saying the Chilean volcano could erupt imminently.
The 2,965m (nearly 10,000ft) volcano - which sits in the Andes cordillera - has so far only spewed gas.
Thousands of minor earth tremors have been registered in the area.
The volcano, located between Chile's Bio Bio region and Argentina's Neuquen province, has seen increasing seismic activity in recent weeks but has not erupted.
"This red alert has been issued after monitoring the activity of the volcano and seeing that it has increased seismic activity," Chilean Interior Minister Andres Chadwick said in a news conference on Monday.
"There is a risk that it can start erupting."
According to Chile's Emergency Office, the mandatory evacuation affects some 2,240 people living within a 25km (15 miles) radius of Copahue.
However some people refused to leave their homes, preferring to stay with their farm animals and personal belongings.
"No. I do not want to leave because we have chickens and it isn't easy to leave them and go to a shelter," resident Florinda Lipiman told the news agency Reuters.
In Argentina, the authorities had first declared a "yellow alert," but later revised it to the highest level.
They have now ordered the evacuation of at least 600 people from the town of Caviahue to the neighbouring city of Loncopue.
"We are going to go to the homes and we are going to remove the women, the elderly and children," police officer Javier Urrutia Vergara told Reuters.
Last December, Chile also issued a red alert after Copahue - one of the most active volcanoes in the region - began spewing ash and gas, with smoke raising nearly 1.5km in the sky.
Nearby residents were temporarily evacuated, and planes flying over the southern Andes warned to avoid the area.
Hundreds of flights were cancelled last year due to the eruption of another volcano in southern Chile.
The Puyehue eruption caused huge economic damage not only to property in the area but also to tourism in Bariloche and other resorts.
Having chosen to bat, they were 21-3 after 12 overs, 18-year-old off-spinner Mehedi Hasan Miraz striking twice and going on to take 5-64 in 33 overs.
But Moeen Ali, who survived five lbw reviews, made a determined 68 from 170 balls on a challenging surface.
He put on 88 with Jonny Bairstow, who was dropped on 13 but went on to score 52, his fourth successive Test fifty.
Mehedi was one of three debutants for Bangladesh, who used five spinners on an opening day when only 17 of the 92 overs were bowled by seamers.
England gave a debut to Northants batsman Ben Duckett - dismissed by Mehedi for 14 at the top of the order - and opted for three spinners, including 39-year-old Gareth Batty, for his first Test appearance since 2005.
A former Bangladesh Under-19 captain, Mehedi is the 26th teenager out of the 81 players to have represented his nation in Tests - compared to just five among the 672 England Test players.
Despite his age, he was chosen to open the bowling and it proved an inspired decision on a pitch that turned from the outset.
Duckett, 22, who last month became the first player to win the Professional Cricketers' Association Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year awards in the same year, tried to smash his first ball in Test cricket to the boundary but made no contact.
Having struck two fours off ineffective seamer Shafiul Islam, he was beaten in the ninth over by a magnificent delivery from Mehedi which drifted in towards the pads of the left-hander before zipping off the pitch and rattling the top of off stump.
Skipper Alastair Cook, playing an England record 134th Test, was dismissed by Shakib Al Hasan when a mistimed sweep struck his glove and rolled on to the stumps.
And Mehedi made it three wickets in 14 balls by removing Gary Ballance lbw for a single, with Bangladesh reviewing and the cameras confirming the ball had struck his pad a fraction before the bat.
Mehedi also took the key wicket of Joe Root, the only right-hander in the top six, who had looked in complete command until his purposeful 40 from 49 balls ended with an edge caught at slip via the thigh of wicketkeeper Mushfiqur Rahim.
Moeen's important innings might have ended when he had scored just one, but Bangladesh chose not to review an lbw appeal that replays showed would have dismissed him.
He was given out three times - twice in the first over after lunch - only to be reprieved on referral, while Bangladesh twice thought they had got him, before replays proved otherwise.
Having taken 114 balls to score 29, Moeen began to find a more familiar fluency, skipping down the wicket to loft Mehedi over long-on for six, and only needed another 13 deliveries to reach his fifty.
But Mehedi finally dismissed him with another classic delivery, some sharp spin taking the edge through to Mushfiqur.
Bairstow passed 2,000 Test runs and 1,000 for the calendar year with his fifth half-century in his last six Test innings, before falling to a quicker one from Mehedi with the second new ball.
England batsman Moeen Al told BBC Sport: "We didn't think it was going to spin so much but we'll settle for that, though losing Jonny at the end was a big blow for us.
"It's tough to say what is a good score in the first innings until we have bowled on it.
"At one point we thought 250 could be quite a good score but we want to be greedy now and try and get a few more.
"It felt like the hardest 68 I've ever scored in my life but the reviews going my way was nice.
"Rooty was the one who called the lbw. If it wasn't for him I probably would have walked on the first one, but the others I didn't feel were out.
"Opening with spin is obviously an option for us. We've got some very good seamers as well but I'm sure the spinners are going to play a big role."
BBC cricket correspondent Jonathan Agnew: "It's been a fascinating first day's cricket. It's always better when the ball is doing a bit, making the batsmen work.
"When there's an element of not knowing what a good score is, it's much more interesting."
Former England women's batter Ebony Rainford-Brent: "This is a spin contest. Who will make the most of the conditions? If England can reach 300, it becomes a different game. That feels like a really good score.
"However, I wonder how England will use their spinners. I'm concerned that previous subcontinent teams have attacked Moeen and Adil Rashid. England need to have a clear plan. That's why I think Batty is a good selection. He'll be very solid.
"I thought Duckett would have come out and blazed it. I thought Cook may have calmed him down after a couple of the early runs.
"It's a difficult one. If he wants to go out and play positively on these wickets he's going to struggle.
"Duckett will feel incredibly frustrated with how it went. You look at Haseeb Hameed and wonder if it was the right decision."
Mehedi is only the third spinner to take five wickets on his first day of Test cricket and all three have been against England, the others being Alf Valentine for West Indies in 1950 and South Africa's Albert Rose-Innes in 1889.
Richard in Norwich: Hasseb: to those who feel he should have opened as Duckett fails. That ball would have got ANY left hander in the team out and probably in the world. Ballance: despite a very good Test average he just has not got enough runs in any form of cricket in the last year to justify place. I would bat Bairstow at four and play Buttler who, unlike the rest, is already acclimatised and can destroy spinners. If you just hang around on these type of wickets you bat the bowlers into a rhythm and will eventually get a Duckett ball with no runs on the board.
Adam Gilbert: Moeen's 68 feels like a double century here.
Ross Terry, 26, of Arnall Drive, Henbury, Bristol, used a crowbar to try and force open a cash machine at a service station on Badminton Road in Downend, last August.
He was caught after he left a dustpan and brush at the scene and police discovered his fingerprint.
Police said he failed to steal any money from the ATM.
Terry fled the scene after an alarm went off, leaving behind a number of items.
Following a forensic analysis of the dustpan and brush police discovered a fingerprint which matched Terry's. His car was also seen driving round the area at the time.
PC Gemma Crew said: "Terry attempted to steal the cash inside the ATM and failed.
"He then tried to deny being involved in the attack, despite being forensically linked to the scene, but the jury saw through his lies and convicted him."

The Scots have won only one of their last 12 matches in the tournament, that victory coming thanks to a late Duncan Weir drop goal against Italy in Rome in 2014.
Having finished rock bottom last season, they are on a seven-match losing run in the competition and have only once won more than two matches in a single campaign.
And yet, as ever, there is optimism that Scotland can make their mark.
The performances at the World Cup - where the Scots were a whisker away from a semi-final place after a heroic effort against Australia - gave Scottish fans hope that this team are growing into a force to be reckoned with.
There appear to be players of genuine quality sprinkled around the pitch, something that has not always been evident in recent years.
So can Scotland finally challenge at the top end of the Six Nations table? They open their campaign against England at Murrayfield on Saturday.
BBC Sport spoke to former Scotland internationals Chris Paterson,John Beattie and Peter Wright to get their thoughts.
Beattie: "I think we have had a succession of pretty average coaches and now we've got a good coach. He's bolstered the side with project signings. He's got the big team he wants.
"There was enough in the World Cup to make you think that players such as John Hardie, WP Nel, Josh Strauss... that all these lads have made a difference and Scotland are going the right way."
Paterson: "Almost everyone who was involved in the World Cup is in the extended squad and will look to build on the successes they had there.
"There's probably a little bit more expectation on us than on England. I hope they'll be able to deal with that expectation and deliver on the field."
Wright:"We hope this is the start, particularly in the Six Nations, of better times. We've had a bit of a fallow time in the last few years. Two or three times over the last few years we've thought this is us ready to go, we've got a team.
"The key is getting that form back from the World Cup."
Beattie:"Let's not listen to history. Forget all the guff that comes with the fixture. Forget that Scottish teams, in theory, aren't as good.
"I think they should just treat it like any other game. This season depends on this first game. If Scotland beat England, it could be an incredible ride from then on in. Opening up with a win is vital."
Paterson: "It's really important to get off to a good start. Scotland have won only one opening game since the inception of the Six Nations, so the stats are against us there.
"What is key to us getting a win is concentrating on ourselves. Get your own game right."

Wright: "It's maybe the best time to get England with a new coach and some new players. If they're not up to speed then Scotland, who pretty much have a settled side, could take advantage of that.
"If we lose on Saturday, it could be a long Six Nations."
Beattie:"I think not finishing in the bottom two is success. I think Scotland in the Six Nations would want to be second, third or fourth. Logic tells you that that's where Scotland's status is.
Paterson: "Hopefully we'll get some wins in this Six Nations. We would love to get a couple of victories at least, but it's so, so hard.
"The results are determined by such fine margins and I suppose too often we've just been on the wrong side of them."
Wright:"If we could win our home games and beat Italy away, I think you would be pretty happy with that.
"The home games are England and France, both pretty tough teams, but with both you're not quite sure what they're going to bring to the Six Nations.
"You would probably argue that the Scotland squad is more settled. That has to be an advantage."
Paterson: Jonny Gray - "We've got one of the hardest working, most impressive forwards in the Six Nations in Jonny Gray. He's a phenomenal player who just delivers every time.
"It would be really good to see him do what he's always done but get the reward for Scotland with some wins and hopefully Jonny can be at the forefront of that."
Wright: Finn Russell - "That management of the game is going to be crucial to Scotland. Where they play on the pitch is going to be really important. The teams who do well have a 10 who is a threat and I thought at the World Cup he was.
"He's maturing every week into a player who is potentially world class. He could be crucial to any success Scotland have."
Beattie: WP Nel - "I think the most important player in any rugby team is the tighthead prop. If Scotland get mullered by opposition looseheads and the scrum goes back, you lose matches. You just can't win matches.
"If you can get your scrum ball easy, and your lineout easy, you are halfway to winning."
Some experts believe delayed school entry benefits this group of children.
However, the study found children who missed a year of learning often did worse in tests at the age of eight.
The research team, led by scientists at Warwick University, analysed the records of children born in the German state of Bavaria in 1985 and 1986.
They studied 999 children, of whom 472 were born before their due dates.
The researchers looked at teachers' assessments of the children's achievements in their first year of school and compared these with results of standardised maths, reading, writing and attention tests when the children were eight.
The researchers say many parents are keen to hold their children back a year if they are born prematurely or in the summer months, believing they are not mature enough.
Previous research has backed this view for children who are born more than three weeks before their due date.
However, the new analysis found delayed school entry could mean children missed out on learning opportunities "during the critical early years".
At the time the data was collected, children in Bavaria were assessed for school-readiness by a community paediatrician in the year before they were due to start school at six.
This meant the researchers were able to compare the school records of children who started at the expected age with those whose entry was held back a year.
The records reveal no difference between the two groups of children in teacher assessments in their first year of school.
But both groups took the standardised tests at the age of eight whether they had started school aged six or a year later, and the results showed the children who started later than their peers did worse.
"Our study shows that delaying school entry has no effect on year-one teacher ratings of academic performance, but it is associated with poorer performance in age-standardised tests of reading, writing, mathematics and attention as the children get older," said Prof Dieter Wolke, of the psychology department and Warwick Medical School.
Dr Julia Jaekel, of the Ruhr University Bochum department of developmental psychology, said many parents of preterm children believed delaying school entry would be more beneficial.
"Many parents demand that preterm children should be held back, particularly if they were born in the summer. This is also supported by many charities supporting parents with preterm children.
"However, we found missing one year of learning opportunities was associated with poorer average performance in standardised tests at eight years of age for both preterm and full-term children.
"Future research is needed to determine the long-term effect of delayed school entry on academic achievement, but our results certainly give parents and educational providers food for thought."
The researchers drew on data from the Bavarian Longitudinal Study, which followed children born in the state in the mid-1980s.
The research is published in the Journal of Developmental Medicine and Child Neurology.
Dortmund had not conceded in their four competitive games under new boss Thomas Tuchel, but trailed within 13 seconds to Jone Samuelsen's header and were three down within 22 minutes.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang started the comeback on 34 minutes.
And Shinji Kagawa, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Aubameyang's second turned it around after the break.
Dortmund have had to qualify for this season's Europa League after finishing seventh in the Bundesliga last season, leading to club legend Jurgen Klopp's departure as coach.
Mkhitaryan has now scored seven goals in five matches this season.
Elsewhere in the Europa League, Athletic Bilbao, on the back of their 5-1 Spanish Super Cup aggregate win over Barcelona, lost 3-2 to Zilina.
The Basque side led 2-0 at the break in Slovakia but, after their opponents got back into the game, William Alves de Oliveira scored a winner deep into injury-time - his second of the match.
AZ Alkmaar lost 3-2 to Astra Giurgiu, conquerors of Inverness and West Ham in the previous two rounds. Their Dutch rivals Ajax beat Jablonec 1-0.
Southampton drew 1-1 with Midtjylland, with Jay Rodriguez scoring his first goal since March 2014.
Robin van Persie scored with his first touch as Fenerbahce won 1-0 at Atromitos Athens.
Tudor West was taking a youth rugby team to a game in Burnham-on-Sea on 16 May last year when the child fell from the coach on the M49, near Bristol.
The 13-year-old, who cannot be named, suffered a broken wrist.
Mr West, 63, of Bridgend, was convicted by a jury at Bristol Crown Court of dangerous driving. It has yet to reach a verdict on company owner Keith Jones.
Mr Jones, also from Bridged, denies permitting the driving of a vehicle in a dangerous condition, and aiding and abetting dangerous driving.
During the trial, jurors heard claims that the emergency door on the coach which the boy fell out of after leaning on it was "defective".
The prosecution claimed the defendants "ignored an obvious risk that could have had tragic consequences".
The court was told the wing mirror and panels on the coach were held on by masking tape and a cupboard was held closed by a pen.
Mr West had been a coach driver for more than 10 years and had no previous convictions.
The 50-year-old, who heads the club's academy, was placed in charge after Neil Lennon left on Tuesday.
Wanderers are bottom of the Championship and 11 points from safety, with nine games remaining this term to try and avoid relegation.
Dean Holdsworth's Sport Shield consortium took over the club last week and chose to part company with Lennon.
"It was a surprise. I got the phone call from Dean Holdsworth on Tuesday," Phillips told BBC Radio Manchester.
"He said 'I'd like you to take the team for the remainder of the season' and I said 'no problem.'"
Bolton-born Phillips had a previous stint as caretaker for three games in 2012 before Dougie Freedman took charge, but is unsure if he will be considered for a permanent role.
"Obviously we've got a new consortium coming in," he added. "I think because of the nature of the club they're having to take things very steadily and they will have a full business plan behind their actions.
"I don't think it's a case of whether I want to put my name forward, I think they've got a plan and hopefully I will be part of their plans in the future.
"Whatever shape that takes, time will tell."
Phillips has also confirmed that they will not be selecting midfielder Jay Spearing for the rest of the campaign.
It is understood the 27-year-old has a clause in his contract that would mean a further payment to Liverpool if he plays another game in the Championship.
Spearing spent the second part of last season on loan at Blackburn because of the clause.
The family has given the skeleton to Manchester Museum, whose experts are to carry out carbon-dating tests to verify its estimated age of 20,000 years.
The bones were unearthed by Simon Ferguson and his sons as they dug a hole for a pond in Thornton-Cleveleys.
"The skull was like the wolf was jumping out of the ground," said his 12-year-old son, Richard.
"The museum told us it was a prehistoric Timber Wolf," added Adam.
Mr Ferguson said: "It predates the Ancient Egyptians and to find it quite shallow on a fairly new housing estate is amazing."
David Gelsthorpe, Manchester Museum's curator, said: "The excitement is how complete it is - it is an incredible specimen, everything from the tail to the tip of the nose is utterly preserved.
"That is really really exciting in terms of climate change - what was happening with animals in the last Ice Age?"
The glasshouse at Wentworth Castle Gardens near Barnsley was dismantled and sent for renovation and repair.
Now parts of 4,000-piece frame are being reassembled as the latest stage of the £3.7m restoration project.
The Grade II listed structure, built by Thomas Wentworth in 1885, is due to reopen to visitors in the autumn.
The frame had been dismantled, labelled, cleaned and re-cast where necessary, managers at the castle said.
The plight of the conservatory, which had fallen into disrepair, came to national prominence in the BBC 2 Restoration programme in 2003.
Claire Herring, a director of the Wentworth Castle Trust, said: "We are delighted the conservatory is returning to our site after its sympathetic restoration.
"We are all very excited about seeing this part of Barnsley's heritage restored to its former glory.
"We'll be welcoming visitors from autumn."
Wentworth Castle Gardens said the glasshouse had received funding from a European Regional Development Fund, as well as cash raised by volunteers.
The Wentworth Estate has spent more than £17m on the 500-acre site since renovation work began in 2004.
It has renovated areas from gardens, parkland and woodland through to the Grade I listed circular outbuilding called the Rotunda.
Two months after HM Customs and Revenue (HMRC) terminated its contract with the firm, the mother has described how she has been forced into debt as a result.
Meanwhile a report has said that 35,000 people had payments wrongly stopped.
The National Audit Office (NAO) also said that, so far, nearly £87,000 has been handed out in compensation.
Marie Crowley told the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme that she had had to take out payday loans to cover her debts, after HMRC blocked her child tax credits of £150 a week back in September 2016.
However, when the tax authorities agreed to repay it, they said she could not have a lump sum. Instead the payments would be spread over the rest of the tax year.
Because her weekly income then went up, she was unable to claim housing benefit.
"The response I got, really, was: 'well, you have got your money back, so don't complain'," she said.
As a result, she is having difficulty repaying payday loans.
"I am stressing about paying debts, and having to ring debt companies as they are chasing me about direct debits."
In just over two years, 108,000 people had their tax credits changed or stopped by Concentrix, according to the NAO report.
But almost a third of those decisions had subsequently been overturned, it said.
By mid-December 2016, "HMRC had paid a total of £86,815 in compensation for complaints relating to cases handled by Concentrix" the report added.
That included almost £68,000 for worry and distress.
The BBC has previously reported the case of Nicola McKenzie, a teenage mother who had her child tax credits stopped by the company after she was wrongly accused of being married to a 74-year-old man.
Concentrix was hired to try to save more than £1bn in incorrect or fraudulent tax credit payments, but saved less than a fifth of that target.
HMRC, the UK's tax agency, terminated the contract in November.
Senior figures from HMRC and Concentrix will be called before MPs later this month to explain the failures.
A Concentrix spokesman said: "This was a hugely complex contract and programme, and as the report highlights, a number of issues emerged at the outset which laid the foundations for the challenges experienced throughout, particularly last year."
The firm was paid £32.5m during the contract, but told the NAO it had made a loss of £20.5m on the deal.
An HMRC spokesman said: "We apologise to all those who did not receive the standard of service that they should have".
Iraqi officials say most have taken refuge in camps and reception centres. Others have moved in with relatives.
The UN has warned an additional 320,000 civilians may flee in the coming weeks.
It is also worried about civilians trapped in Mosul's densely-populated Old City, where troops are advancing despite fierce IS resistance.
Over the weekend, police units approached the Great Mosque of al-Nuri, where IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi proclaimed the creation of a "caliphate" in July 2014 after the group seized swathes of Iraq.
Iraqi government forces launched a major offensive to recapture Mosul, the last major IS urban stronghold in the country, in October.
Supported by US-led coalition air strikes and military advisers, they have managed to retake large parts of the city and its surrounding area.
They took full control of all of Mosul's eastern side in January and have driven IS militants from several districts since starting an assault on the west on 19 February.
UN humanitarian co-ordinator Lise Grande said the humanitarian operation in western Mosul had so far been far larger and more complex than in the east.
"The main difference is that tens of thousands of families stayed in their homes in the east - in the west, tens of thousands are fleeing," she explained.
The government is rushing to build new camps or expand existing facilities to accommodate the displaced but Ms Grande said it was "a race against time".
"If the number of people leaving the city increases faster than we can construct new plots, the situation could deteriorate very quickly," she added.
Ms Grande also warned that civilians still inside the Old City were at grave risk, with the use of explosives there likely to cause extensive damage where streets were narrow and houses packed closely together.
"Families are at risk of being shot if they leave and they are at risk if they stay," she said. "It's horrible. Hundreds of thousands of civilians are trapped and they are in terrible danger."
Families have also told the UN that shop shelves are empty. Water and electricity supplies have also been cut and medicines are running out.
"The situation is very dramatic," said Ms Grande. "We fear it will get far worse in the days and weeks ahead."
Residents who have managed to flee say the militants are using civilians as human shields, hiding in houses and forcing young men to fight.
Ali, a former government worker, told Reuters news agency: "All [the militants] are doing now is defending. I hid my sons in the basement and told them: 'If you want my sons you will have to kill me'."
US officials estimate that there are about 2,000 IS fighters left in Mosul.
The Cheviot, the Stag and the Black Black Oil tells the story of the nation's history, from the Highland clearances to the arrival of oil.
John McGrath's play had a political impact as well as a cultural one.
The Dundee Rep Ensemble has been granted permission to present the play in a professional production for the first time in more than 20 years.
The Cheviot was given its first public airing by the 7:84 Scotland group at the "What Kind of Scotland?" conference in Edinburgh in March 1973, and had an instant impact.
The play looks at the exploitation and economic changes in the Scottish Highlands throughout history, from the evictions of crofters to make way for Cheviot sheep in the 18th century, to the development of stag hunts in game parks in the 19th century, and finally the oil boom of the 1970s.
Director Joe Douglas said the issues addressed in the play were still relevant today.
He said: "It's something which is studied and talked about, and it's sort of entered the mythology of Scottish theatre.
"I felt like it really spoke to the present moment, post-referendum and post-general election, where people are sort of questioning where we're at politically.
"The play looks at lots of different aspects of Scottish identity, and tells the story of ordinary people from across many generations in different ways."
The play is presented as a ceilidh, with the music integral to the storytelling - some of the audience sit on the stage, with people encouraged to dance along.
Musical director Aly Macrae said this helps remove any barrier between the audience and the story being told.
Actor Calum MacDonald's mother saw the original production in 1973 and he said it had been "life-changing" for her.
He said: "It really changed her view on Scottish politics and Scottish history, and the way they presented it was brilliant for that audience.
"So there's quite a lot of pressure - I remember phoning her and letting her know. We've remained true to a lot of the original with slight touches to bring it up to date with current issues.
"There is a bit of pressure, but it's an absolute joy to be doing it."
The Cheviot, the Stag and the Black, Black Oil runs until 26 September at Dundee Rep theatre.
Protesters threw burning T-shirts and plastic bottles at police outside the rally at a convention centre in Albuquerque.
Demonstrators held banners that read "Trump is Fascist" and "We've heard enough", and some waved a Mexican flag.
Police responded by firing pepper spray and smoke grenades at the crowd.
Protesters also interrupted Mr Trump's speech at the rally.
New Mexico is the most Hispanic state in the US, and Mr Trump has angered many with his comments on illegal immigration and his plan to build a border wall with Mexico.

Donald Trump wants to deport every single illegal immigrant - could he?
Why Mexicans are troubled by Trump
Trump's migrant plan attacked by rivals
The protest had begun peacefully outside the Albuquerque Convention Center a few hours before the rally began.
Tensions rose as Trump supporters began to arrive at the centre, the Albuquerque Journal reports. Both sides started trading abuse, including racial insults, and protesters threw water and water bottles.
As the number of protesters swelled to more than 600, the demonstration turned violent.
Albuquerque police said bottles and rocks were thrown at officers and police horses, and several were injured. They were seen responding by firing pepper spray and smoke grenades into the crowd.
Mr Trump, speaking to a crowd of 4,000 people, was typically robust in his response to the protesters.
"How old is this kid?" he asked of one that disrupted the rally, adding: "Still wearing diapers."
To others, he said: "Go home to mommy."
University student Karla Molinar told the Associated Press she took part in disrupting his speech because she felt Mr Trump was attacking members of her family who were living in the country illegally.
She said she believed he is using them as scapegoats for the nation's problems.
The biggest news out of Donald Trump's New Mexico rally wasn't the unrest outside the venue - we've seen such demonstrations before. It's the sharp tone the presumptive Republican nominee took toward the state's Republican governor, Susana Martinez.
"She's got to do a better job," he said, as he criticised the state's economy, the number of people on food stamps and her decision to allow Syrian refugees to resettle in New Mexico.
Ms Martinez had said she was "too busy" to attend the rally in Albuquerque, the state capital - and Mr Trump obviously took note.
Mr Trump is now the Republican standard-bearer, but it seems he will not always be magnanimous in victory. Although polls show most Republicans rallying around the Trump banner, holdouts will be remembered and punished. Whether that's part of a strategy or a fit of pique doesn't really matter - with Mr Trump, it seems one and the same.
Following Mr Trump's statements, Ms Martinez's office issued a terse response: "The governor will not be bullied into supporting a candidate until she is convinced that candidate will fight for New Mexicans."
Ms Martinez's name has often been mentioned as a possible Trump running mate who could help buoy his strikingly negative poll approval ratings with women and Hispanics.
I think we can cross her off the list.
This is not the first time violence has broken out at Mr Trump's rallies. He cancelled a gathering in Chicago in March after clashes between his supporters and opponents.
Albuquerque is the first stop of Mr Trump's tour of New Mexico, and his rally came on the same day he easily won the Republican presidential primary in Washington state.
His opponents have dropped out of the race, and he is now just a few votes short of securing the 1,237 delegates needed to officially become the Republican candidate for November's presidential election.
New Mexico's Republican Governor Susana Martinez has been critical of Mr Trump's attacks on immigrants and has not yet said if she will support his candidacy for the election.
She and other senior members of the local Republican party stayed away from Tuesday's rally.
Former Swans forward Andre Ayew pounced on Lukasz Fabianski's fumble to put the visitors ahead, before Winston Reid headed in from a corner to double their lead.
Michail Antonio added a third and, although Fernando Llorente scored late on for Swansea, Andy Carroll's firm strike sealed a convincing West Ham victory.
Slaven Bilic's side climb to 11th in the Premier League table, while Swansea remain second from bottom but now four points adrift of safety.
Where Bradley is concerned, a seventh defeat from his 11 matches in charge leaves the American in grave danger of losing his job less than three months after his appointment.
Swansea's supporters called for his sacking during the second half, as well as accusing the club's directors of greed following the Swans' American takeover in the summer.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Having won only two of his first 10 games at the helm, Bradley admitted before the match that his future could depend on the outcome of this fixture and the home encounter with Bournemouth on New Year's Eve.
Swansea had unravelled with scant resistance to lose their previous two games, at Middlesbrough 3-0 and West Brom 3-1, and they were similarly vulnerable against West Ham.
Since the American's appointment in October the Swans had conceded 25 goals - more than any other Premier League side in the same period - and their 26th was as feeble as any they have let in.
Cheikhou Kouyate only managed a weak flick from Andy Carroll's header, but Fabianski could only palm the ball into the path of Ayew, who tapped in from close range.
The goal created a sense of anxiety inside the Liberty Stadium, and that unease turned to wholehearted hostility after Reid extended West Ham's lead.
Swansea's supporters booed Bradley and chanted "You don't know what you're doing", before turning their ire towards the Swans' board as the prospect of relegation looms larger than ever.

Unlike their opponents, West Ham entered this match with renewed optimism after successive 1-0 wins over Hull and Burnley had eased their own relegation fears.
Those were relatively hard-earned triumphs, but they were able to cruise to victory in south Wales without playing at their fluent best.
It was a straightforward afternoon for goalkeeper Darren Randolph and his defenders, who had little to worry about apart from the occasional long-range effort from Gylfi Sigurdsson.
In attack, West Ham were clinical on the break and from set-pieces, with midfielder Dimitri Payet increasingly influential in the second half.
Carroll also proved his worth with a typically abrasive display, capped with a goal which helped maintain the Hammers' record of winning every Premier League match in which the striker has started since returning from injury.
Former England captain Alan Shearer:
"Swansea just aren't working hard enough. There's no excuse for the second goal. Winston Reid gets above the two defenders - there's no way he should win the ball - but he gets above them because he wants it more, it means more to him.
"It was a big punt bringing Bob Bradley in, with his lack of experience of Premier League players and lack of experience in the Premier League. It was always going to be a big ask of him to keep Swansea up."
Former West Ham forward Ian Wright:
"It was starting to get tight for West Ham and Slaven Bilic had to dig the players out after the 5-1 defeat to Arsenal at the start of December. The players needed to hear that."
Swansea host Bournemouth on New Year's Eve before taking on Crystal Palace on 3 January. West Ham travel to Leicester on 31 December and face Manchester United at home on 2 January.

It means the Conservative group, which won most seats at the recent elections, is kept out of the administration.
Between them Labour and the SNP have 22 seats on the 43 member local authority - enough for a narrow majority.
Former MSP Elaine Murray has been named the new leader of the council replacing her Labour colleague Ronnie Nicholson. The SNP's Rob Davidson is her deputy.
The new coalition said it was committed to "working together constructively" and would put aside constitutional issues to tackle local problems.
It pledged to seek new opportunities for investment and aim to improve town centres across the region.
The administration said it would be "characterised by co-operation" with a "resilient and collegiate" approach.
There were 16 Conservatives elected in Dumfries and Galloway with Labour and the SNP tied on 11, four independents and one Lib Dem.
A Labour minority administration was previously in control of the council.
In a joint statement Ms Murray and Mr Davidson said the two groups looked forward to working together to deliver "shared ambitions for the region".
"We're committed to working together for the benefit of our communities, we've both stepped up to that to that responsibility today, and we're confident that we'll work together effectively and constructively," it said.
"Both groups have put aside our political differences on constitutional issues to concentrate on what needs to be done in the interests of the people and communities in our region.
"Both parties in this partnership are committed to tackling poverty, to opposing austerity, and protecting, as far as we can, our most vulnerable individuals and communities from its effects. "
They said their partnership was "passionate about delivering for Dumfries and Galloway".
The council also agreed who would chair a string of its committees:
The role of provost of Dumfries and Nithsdale was taken by the SNP's Tracey Little.
Conservative group leader Ian Carruthers said he was disappointed with the outcome.
"To try and put it into context we got nearly 39% of the vote share across Dumfries and Galloway," he said.
"If you collectively add up both the SNP and Labour who have formed the administration I think they got round about 41%.
"We just think we had a clear mandate from people in Dumfries and Galloway."
He said that people had voted for a change but that was not now being delivered.

Jashodaben, a retired school teacher, filed a Right to Information (RTI) application to the state government in Gujarat where she lives.
Mr Modi admitted publicly for the first time he was married when he filed his election nomination papers in April.
They married when they were 17, but the couple have lived apart for years.
He has always avoided questions on his personal life amid suggestions he wished to appear celibate to appeal to his core Hindu nationalist voter base.
Soon after Mr Modi's spectacular win in the May general elections, Jashodaben was provided round-the-clock security.
"I am the wife of the honourable prime minister of India," she wrote in her RTI application filed before the authorities in Mehsana district where she lives with her brother.
"I would like to know under what provisions of the law and the constitution of India am I being provided protection? As wife of the prime minister what are the other benefits I am entitled to?"
Jashodaben says she travels by "public transport while my security personnel travel in official vehicles".
"Given that former prime minister Indira Gandhi was assassinated by her security guards, I am frightened by the presence of the security cover. So kindly provide me all details about the security personnel provided to me," her application states.
In an interview with The Indian Express earlier this year, Jashodaben said she lived on a monthly pension of 14,000 rupees ($232; £138).
She said Mr Modi had left her after three years, during which they spent some three months together and that they had parted amicably.
Critics have long accused Mr Modi of deserting his wife after he joined the Hindu nationalist organisation the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), which prizes celibacy.
They say the fact that he refused to acknowledge her for so long provides clues about his attitude to women.
Ex-Libyan dissident Abdel Hakim Belhaj says the UK's MI6 helped to arrange the couple's rendition - saying they were covertly taken from Thailand to Libya.
Sami al-Saadi and his family were also sent to Libya in 2004, where he was allegedly tortured.
Prosecutors said there was insufficient evidence to charge anyone from MI6.
Mr Belhaj told the BBC he was "very disappointed that individuals responsible" would not be prosecuted, adding: "If there is political interference with the courts, then it undermines British justice."
Rendition involves sending a person from one country to another for imprisonment and interrogation, and in some cases torture.
Mr Belhaj, who commanded an armed opposition group against Libyan dictator Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, and his wife, Fatima Boudchar, had been trying to seek asylum in the UK when they were taken from Bangkok to Tripoli in 2004.
Their lawyers claimed it was a joint operation between the US intelligence service the CIA and its UK counterparts from MI6 to help Col Gaddafi round up his enemies.
Mr Belhaj alleges he was tortured by his jailers and questioned by British intelligence officers during a six-year detention.
Mrs Boudchar, who was pregnant at the time of her detention and transfer to Libya, spent four months in a Libyan prison.
Speaking in her first television interview, she told the BBC: "My hands and legs were tied and my eyes were covered. They injected me with something. I didn't know where I was going.
"I was six months' pregnant. I was so scared that I was going to die."
Separately, Mr al-Saadi and his family were taken from Hong Kong and sent to Libya, where he was allegedly tortured. Memos indicated that MI6 was involved in his transfer.
The Metropolitan Police and the Crown Prosecution Service opened an investigation in January 2012 after documents found following the fall of Col Gaddafi suggested that MI6 had been involved in the rendition.
The documents included letters signed by "Mark". It has been claimed that this is Sir Mark Allen, then MI6 director of counter terrorism.
In a letter to Moussa Koussa, head of Col Gaddafi's intelligence agency, dated March 2004, "Mark" thanked him for helping to arrange a meeting in the desert between then Prime Minister Tony Blair and Col Gaddafi, as part of a warming of relations between the UK and Libya.
"Mark" wrote: "More importantly, I congratulate you on the safe arrival of Abu Abd Allah Sadiq (Mr Belhaj)… This was the least we could do for you and for Libya to demonstrate the remarkable relationship we have built over the years."
Even though there will be no prosecution of MI6 officers, the Libyan case still raises many questions.
For the first time, the CPS statement confirms that MI6 was in "communication" with individuals from foreign countries involved in the rendition, and seems to confirm the broad outline of the allegations (even though it finds insufficient evidence to charge).
In one of the most intriguing lines, it also says that the MI6 officer involved sought political authority for "some" of his actions, but not in a formal way. This goes to one of the mysteries surrounding the operation - who authorised it?
Sensitive MI6 operations are supposed to be authorised by politicians - normally the foreign secretary. Jack Straw was foreign secretary at the time and has denied any role in rendition.
And today's statement seems to support the idea that MI6 was operating at the time with only partial political cover.
There was no written record and nor did the officer, we learn, get authority for all his communications and conduct from whomever he talked to. That will raise questions about whether MI6 was operating under sufficiently strong oversight at the time.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said an unnamed public official had been investigated for aiding, abetting, counselling or procuring any offence of torture, and misconduct in public office.
It was found the person did not have any connection with the initial physical detention of either man or their families, the CPS said.
Sue Hemming, of the CPS, said: "Following a thorough investigation, the CPS has decided that there is insufficient evidence to charge the suspect with any criminal offence.
"We made our decision based upon all the available admissible evidence and after weighing up all of the information we have been provided with."
Mr Belhaj's lawyer Cori Crider told the BBC: "This suggests to me the security services are functionally above the law. If you're not going to charge in this case, then when are you going to charge?"
Lib Dem MP Alistair Carmichael has called for the government to make a statement to MPs following the CPS's decision.
The government's Intelligence and Security Committee said later it would examine the families' case as part of its ongoing inquiry into detainee treatment and rendition.
Scotland Yard said a small team of detectives had spent more than two years conducting a "thorough and penetrating investigation without fear or favour", and it was for the CPS to decide whether to prosecute.
Both Mr al-Saadi and Mr Belhaj pursued civil claims against the British government and named individuals. Mr al-Saadi settled out of court but Mr Belhaj's case is continuing. | Have you ever struggled to get a GP appointment?

The two talked on their arrival in Monaco on Wednesday ahead of Sunday's race and Hamilton said the incident was in the past.
"It's fine," said Hamilton. "In the past, there would have been tension but there was just pure respect.
"I said, 'I still have all the respect for you,' and he said the same."
Hamilton added: "It doesn't change anything about how we approach racing."
BBC Radio 5 live In Short: Me & Rosberg are cool - Hamilton
That is a change from the aftermath of previous incidents between the two, after which there has been lingering bad feeling.
Asked why it was different now, Hamilton said: "It is always good to discuss things. As a team we did, in Barcelona and then at the factory I guess individually, and then Nico and I spoke just now.
"But I didn't feel we had to, because there is no issue. we just move on, there is nothing you can do about the past."
He added: "We didn't talk through the incident. We don't need to. We know what happened. We experienced it. We know how we felt about it before.
"We are not like the more emotional beings on the planet who talk about things, we don't do that.
"We arrived very cool and chilled and spoke. All we need to know is the respect is still there and we are going to keep racing. And that's all we had to say.
"We have a long career left with racing with another. You have to assume there is going to be more but we are competitors and we're racing.
"There are going to be lots of close encounters and we are just going to try our best that affects our results. Every scenario is different. This is the one we are faced with now. We are getting past it in a positive manner."
In contrast, Rosberg refused to say whether he and Hamilton had discussed the incident and its aftermath.
"If we have spoken or not, that needs to be kept internal," he said. "But it is a thing of the past now.
"I am going to take the same approach as always and do what's necessary to try to win this grand prix, which is what I have come here to do."
Hamilton is 43 points behind Rosberg heading into the Monaco weekend after a difficult start to the season, and has not won a race since he clinched the title at the US Grand Prix last October.
He said: "If it happens, it happens. If it doesn't, there will be many more opportunities. There are opportunities still there.
"There are still 16 races and you have to look at that. The glass, rather than it being half full is 10% full. And there is still the rest of that to fill up."

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

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

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

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

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

The money from the Constitutional Research Council was spent on pro-Brexit advertising throughout the UK.
The group of pro-union business people is led by a Conservative party member.
About £425,000 of the funding was spent mainly on advertising in Britain. The rest went to DUP party funds.
Speaking at an anti-Brexit rally in west Belfast on Saturday, Mr Adams said the DUP needed to provide more answers.
"The DUP acted as a funnel for £425,000 coming from a Scottish Tory, which had an impact on the outcome.
"They need to explain how they got themselves into that position."
Speaking on the BBC's Good Morning Ulster programme on Friday, DUP MP Sir Jeffrey Donaldson. stressed it was "not a Northern Ireland referendum, but a UK-wide referendum".
The details of the donation came as the spending returns of the Stronger In and Vote Leave campaigns in last year's EU referendum are under investigation, the Electoral Commission has announced.
Customers were warned not to cook, drink or wash with tap water following concerns over its taste and smell.
The Drinking Water Quality Regulator has been investigating the problem which closed nine schools in June 2015.
The affected properties were in parts of Carfin, Newarthill, Chapelhall, New Stevenston and Dalziel Park.
Restrctions were lifted two days after customers first complained of an "oily based substance" with a strong odour in their water.
In her annual report, Sue Petch, drinking water quality regulator for Scotland, said: "One major incident affecting drinking water quality occurred during June 2015 when over 6,000 properties in North Lanarkshire suffered restrictions on the use of their water for two days after contamination of the supply.
"We have investigated this event thoroughly and submitted a report to the procurator fiscal."
A spokesman for Scottish Water said: "Providing safe, wholesome drinking water to our five million customers is Scottish Water's top priority."
The report showed drinking water standards reached a record high in 2015.
Out of 308,356 samples of water taken from consumers' taps, 99.92% met the required standards.
Of the 35 incidents that were investigated, only the case in North Lanarkshire was classified as major.
Ms Petch said: "Consumers in Scotland are generally more satisfied with the taste and appearance of their tap water.
"Last year, only 0.2% of consumers reported concerns with the quality of their supply, almost half that of numbers reported six years ago.
"When concerns are reported, they are thoroughly investigated and, where necessary, action is taken to resolve the situation.
"It is vital that the progress that has been made is maintained and further built upon.
"Scottish Water must ensure their assets and procedures are resilient and able to cope with a wide range of challenges."
He cited newspaper claims that Irish police were more concerned about "ISIL" (or so-called Islamic State) cells in Dublin than dissident republicans.
He said he hoped the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) would be given more money to tackle the threat.
The MLA for Strangford was speaking at UKIP's regional party conference.
Mr McNarry asked: "Are we here in Northern Ireland, who treat dissident activity extremely seriously, missing a trick by not knowing if there is a threat to our communities, as is apparent down south from ISIL supporters?
"Because, be in no doubt - all the connotations of migration will take pole position in this [European Union] referendum debate - a debate we welcome but which no-one will welcome with the ISIS gun held to our heads.
"And listen up - we cannot live with other people's terrorists in our midst," he said.
"Nor should we be either asked or expected to provide work for other people's unemployed, when local workers are losing their jobs or provide homes when young couples languish on housing waiting lists for years.
"Nor should we rush to send money by pledging £200m to Africa when we must get our own needy sorted first."
Asked later by the BBC to clarify his remarks about the threat from ISIL in Northern Ireland, Mr McNarry said: "If they are in Dublin why wouldn't they be here?
"That's what I'm saying. It's a hundred miles down the road, why wouldn't they operate here?
"We are worried about them in every other city in the United Kingdom. The chancellor of the exchequer has just given millions more money to the police.
"Im hoping our [PSNI] chief constable is going to get a lot more money too, to chase down and run down ISIL terrorists, if they are here."
The hosts were awarded a controversial penalty when Casemiro was deemed to have fouled Andre Schurrle, and Ricardo Rodriguez converted from the spot.
Real were poor defensively and a rapid attack ended with Bruno Henrique setting up Max Arnold for the second.
The visitors created little, but should have been awarded a penalty early on.
Defeat was Real's first in a Champions League quarter-final since 2004, and leaves the 10-time winners needing a vastly improved performance in the return leg at the Bernabeu next Tuesday.
The Spaniards last overturned a two-goal first-leg deficit in European competition in 1987, when they beat Red Star Belgrade in the quarter-finals of the European Cup.
Wolfsburg manager Dieter Hecking said his players would try to "annoy" Real, and the questionable penalty awarded by referee Gianluca Rocchi would certainly have irked the Spaniards.
But despite the fortuitous circumstances in which they took the lead, the quarter-final debutants deserved their first-leg advantage and could have scored more so awful were Real in defence.
Marcelo and Sergio Ramos, in particular, were to blame for the second goal, which Arnold side-footed home from six yards.
Moments earlier, Arnold had nicked the ball from Cristiano Ronaldo inside his own half and was allowed to surge 60 yards unchallenged before nearly putting Schurrle through.
After the break, Schurrle should have done better when through on goal, while substitute Max Kruse forced a fine save from Keylor Navas in the dying minutes.
Real boss Zinedine Zidane said his team would treat the match "like a final" but his men were a shadow of the side that beat Barcelona in El Clasico at the weekend.
Zidane made just one change to the team that ended Barca's 39-match unbeaten run, yet they could not reproduce Saturday's performance.
Gareth Bale, playing on the left wing, was their most potent player and should have been awarded a penalty when the score was goalless. Ronaldo - making his 124th Champions League appearance - lacked clout, while Karim Benzema hobbled off early in the first half.
It was not a result many would have predicted beforehand, with Wolfsburg losing 3-0 to Bayer Leverkusen - their third game without a win in the Bundesliga, at the weekend.
Seven points adrift of fourth-placed Borussia Monchengladbach, they are in danger of missing out on next season's Champions League if they do not win the competition, yet in Julian Draxler and Schurrle the Germans proved they have players who can shine on such a stage.
Real boss Zinedine Zidane: "I'm not happy with how the game went, especially the first half.
"That's football, that's how difficult it is. That's what happens when you don't play with intensity from the start. We have to rest and think about the return leg because we still have the chance to change everything."
A year ago, Ofgem estimated that suppliers would make an average pre-tax profit of £53 per dual fuel customer, a margin of 4%.
But in the year ahead they now expect energy firms to make £106 per customer, increasing their margin to 8%.
In response, the industry accused Ofgem of releasing inaccurate figures.
It also said they do not take tax or interest into account.
However Ofgem - which will officially publish the details on Thursday - said it was further evidence that the market was not working as well as it should.
It has already referred the industry - and the profits it makes - to the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA).
It has also written to the suppliers to ask why falls in wholesale prices last winter have not resulted in lower bills.
Energy UK, which represents the suppliers, said Ofgem's estimates were not accurate.
"It cannot be right to publish numbers and estimates which imply profits which turn out not to exist," said Angela Knight, Energy UK's chief executive.
"Using estimates that are as inaccurate as these, and which often result in misconceptions and misunderstandings, gets us nowhere," she added.
In response, Ofgem said: "Consumers need a clear explanation from suppliers as to why, when costs are falling, they are not seeing cuts in energy prices as we would expect in a competitive market."
"Concerns that savings weren't being passed on to customers when wholesale prices fall was one of the reasons we have proposed a referral of the energy market to the CMA for investigation," the regulator said in an emailed statement.
Ofgem said that even though profit margins are likely to increase over the next year, bills are likely to fall.
It calculates that average dual fuel bills will go down by £18, as energy efficiency measures improve.
In a separate development, Ofgem announced that electricity customers will see an average reduction of £12 a year on their bills, from April 2015.
That follows plans to limit the prices that can be charged by Britain's six distribution companies, which carry power to homes and businesses.
The curbs will affect 29 million English, Scottish and Welsh customers.
Ofgem's plans will also see the distribution companies spend £17bn to upgrade their networks.
The distribution element makes up about 8% of a typical dual-fuel bill and is the only part controlled directly by Ofgem.
"Today's announcement is all part of Ofgem's consistent drive to get the best deal for consumers, while maintaining a stable regulatory regime which attracts investment as cheaply as possible," said Dermot Nolan, the regulator's chief executive.
Five out of the six network companies - UK Power Networks, Northern Power Grid, SP Energy Networks, SSE Power Distribution and Electricity North West - were ordered to cut their prices.
Only one, Western Power Distribution, had its pricing and investment plans approved by Ofgem.
The new prices will apply for eight years, from April 2015 until 2023.
Ofgem will announce a final decision on the proposals in November after carrying out a consultation.
It was written in 1937 to the mayor of Kendal, to reassure him that she would take care of the town's last working loom, which she had just bought.
She also congratulated him on the Cumbrian town's purchase of a prayer book once owned by Henry VIII's wife Catherine Parr - included in the lot.
The letter was signed Beatrix Heelis, after the writer's marriage in 1913.
Kendal-based 1818 Auctioneers had estimated the lot would fetch between £1,500 and £2,000.
The then 71-year-old author started the letter "you may remember my name" and goes on to reassure the mayor, Henry Airey, that she "will not take away a relic of Kendal without telling you".
The letter and prayer book were put up for sale by descendants of Mr Airey.
A spokesman for the auctioneers described the letter as "a delight to read".
The name of the purchaser has not been revealed.
Many of Potter's creations, including Peter Rabbit and Gemima Puddle-Duck, were written in the Lake District.
Last year was the 150th anniversary of her birth.
She was at a US boarding school in the early 1990s and, in the days before mobile phones, everyone kept their hard copy keepsakes with them. "There were all these pictures of her family in rural Michigan," she recalled. "Baby photos of her and her siblings…"
But then among all the standard-issue images, something a little different caught her eye. There was her friend, Sarah, sitting with someone else's family: the family of General Manuel Noriega, the former Panamanian leader who died on Tuesday.
Andrea recognised him instantly. In the 1980s, Noriega was public enemy number one in the US, as the country battled for continuing control of the Panama Canal. Coming across this photo back then was the equivalent of finding decades-old photos of a school pal cosying up with Osama Bin Laden.
"Pineapple face," said Andrea Morningstar (née Maio). That was the nickname detractors had given him, and which became known even to school children.
Andrea's friend was Sarah York, a girl whose childhood had taken an unusual turn around four years earlier, when she wrote a letter, on a whim, to a man she saw on the TV news.
While her parents were watching a special edition of the current affairs show 60 Minutes discussing Noriega's drug-trafficking links, 10-year-old Sarah happened to observe that he had a nice hat.
Her dad collected hats. Perhaps if she wrote to this man on the TV, he would send them a hat.
Ask him, said her dad.
So she did. She sent short letter on notepaper with a picture of a partridge on it.
To the family's surprise, a few weeks later, an envelope arrived in their mailbox, with a Panamanian flag stamped on the front. It was not hat-shaped, but it was from General Noriega. It was officially headed and signed. And, not only that, he also asked her to keep up the correspondence.
He wrote: "Dear Sarah, I feel honored by your letter. I appreciate your message of faith and friendship. I hope you continue sending your message and tell me about yourself and your city. With friendship and appreciation, General Manuel Antonio Noriega."
They did so for a number of months. He sent books about Central America; she told him about her school grades. He even sent the much-wanted hat. Then, in the weirdest twist of all, he sent an invitation for her and her family to visit Panama City, all expenses paid.
The visit went ahead in 1988, making the international press - from The New York Times to the Guardian - while attracting plenty of criticism. People accused the family of lacking patriotism, and supporting a brutal regime. Even Sarah's brother - an avid reader of the news - was angry, at least at first.
Meanwhile, Noriega was accused of exploiting a child and using her in political games.
After her 15 minutes of fame faded, Sarah chalked the visit up as a weird life experience and, showing signs of musical talent, pursued an education in the arts, where she met Andrea during a year at boarding school.
She was not keen to share the story when Andrea happened upon the photos. "I had to ask and she reluctantly told me," said Andrea. "I thought it was remarkable, and hilarious."
Ten years later, Andrea had finished film school and was keen to get involved with a radio show called This American Life, which is famed for its storytelling and is popular globally in podcast form.
"I had a friend from college who was a producer there, and he would send me their production themes lists," she said. When she saw an upcoming show called Love Your Enemies, she knew she had the perfect tale.
Sarah agreed to take part only if her friend was the interviewer. So the producers agreed to take a punt on Andrea, then a 20-something with no radio experience.
The My Pen Pal episode, which aired in 2003, made compelling listening. It tackled the good guy/bad guy narrative of the press and politics; it explored childhood innocence and curiosity; it looked at propaganda and multiple realities.
"I knew that I was going to get plenty of the bad guy story, so why not get the story from the bad guy, you know?" said Sarah, during the interview. "But I don't know that I ever said: 'I'm going to be the judge of this'. I think it was more just, let's see what happens. Or let's see what we can find out."
The radio show recalled the friendship bracelet she made for Noriega in camouflage colours. Her memories of touching down in the Panamanian capital: "Flashbulbs were going off everywhere, and everyone was, like, saying my name."
The show's host, Ira Glass, told the BBC he still remembers that show and it remains one of his favourite episodes. "When I heard that Manuel Noriega died, the first thing I thought of was this episode from 2003, that revealed a side of him that was personal and surprising. His motives in starting a correspondence with a 10-year-old American were obviously self-serving. But the way the whole thing plays out show a private side of the man that was fascinating for me and I'm guessing for anyone who saw him in the news back in the 1980s."
Now living in Minnesota, Sarah still performs as a musician and has two children, as well as a lifelong interest in Panama. But she would still rather not talk about her former pen pal publicly.
"I think it is complicated," said Andrea, now an artist and filmmaker. "The perceived reality is so different from her experiences. It's taxing, to be defined by it, although she doesn't mind people knowing."
Andrea said her friend has always been a intriguing character, motivated by curiosity. At university she taught herself to swim after checking out some swimming books from the library. After graduating, she moved to northern Wisconsin and went off-grid for a few years, teaching herself about indigenous herbal remedies.
As for Noriega, he was overthrown in a 1989 US invasion, and later jailed in the US on drugs and money laundering charges.
He spent the rest of his life in custody, latterly in Panama for murder, corruption and embezzlement. He died earlier this week, two months after brain surgery.
Sony said the sale would help it to finance increased production within its image sensor business.
It said it hoped to raise about 440bn yen ($3.6bn; £2.28bn) from the sale.
In February, Sony announced a spin-off of its video-and-audio business in an attempt to return to long-term profit.
The electronics giant said at the time it wanted to achieve an operating profit of 500bn yen by March 2018.
The plans include a greater focus on its image sensors, which are used in smartphones and cameras.
Sony spun off its TV unit last year and exited the personal computer business.
The company's shares closed down 8.26% in Japan at 3,461 yen.
The public services ombudsman said the 4% rise in the last year was a "real concern" and against a fall in complaints about other public bodies.
Complaints about health now make up 36% of Nick Bennett's caseload.
The Welsh Government acknowledged the report but said it should be put in the context of a million A&E attendances and 750,000 hospital admissions.
Mr Bennett said: "The upward trend in NHS complaints is a real concern and leadership is needed to empower frontline staff so they can respond to the needs of patients across Wales.
"With an ageing population and continued austerity, the demands on the NHS have never been so great but it's crucial we use all the levers at our disposal to improve services."
He has appointed new improvement officers to work in particular health boards but said he wanted fresh legislation "to help end cycles of poor service delivery".
He wants powers to deal with complaints more effectively and which would lead to issues being spotted faster and enable public bodies to act earlier as they emerge.
The rise in complaints for 2015-16 has been blamed on a "notable increase" in complaints involving Abertawe Bro Morgannwg UHB (ABMU) and Betsi Cadwaladr UHB health boards.
Complaints about local health boards and trusts account for more than 80% of the 798 complaints about NHS bodies.
CASE STUDY:
A 57-year-old man with a congenital heart defect could not be put on the waiting list for surgery until all tests and investigations had been completed and this took 11 months.
The ombudsman said he should have had treatment within six months and had he received surgery more promptly, "on the balance of probabilities, his death would have been avoided".
ABMU agreed to implement his recommendations and to apologise to the patient's sister, who had complained.
A spokeswoman for ABMU said it had seen more than two million patients last year and staff consistently provided high quality care "in the vast majority of cases".
"The number of ombudsman's complaints about ABMU services increased by five in 2015-16, to 115," she said.
"However, fewer were ultimately upheld, or resulted in actions like a voluntary settlement - one in four cases last year compared to a third the year before."
ABMU said it took complaints very seriously and had recently completely overhauled its complaints system "with a greater emphasis on nipping concerns in the bud, and learning from mistakes".
A spokesman for Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board said they encouraged people to contact the ombudsman if they were unhappy with the way complaints were handled.
"We have been working hard to learn from patients' experiences and there has been a decrease in the number of cases upheld by the Ombudsman over the last twelve months," he added.
Altogether, the ombudsman dealt with 2,268 new complaints about public services, down 1%. Of the complaints handled, 397 were resolved or upheld - and more than half of these were involving health issues.
A three month independent review of the NHS complaints handling process in 2014 called for a "no-blame culture" to learn lessons.
Earlier this year, Mr Bennett also called for a systemic review of out-of-hours hospital care in Wales, after he took a snapshot of cases he had dealt with over the last five years.
Conservative health spokesperson Angela Burns AM, said there was an "element of deja vu to the report" in that many of same complaints were being made that were being made five years ago.
"A continuing lack of funding and resource in our health service is denying NHS management the time needed to bed best practice in," she said.
A Welsh Government spokesperson said the NHS had been working hard to improve arrangements where patients can raise concerns.
"Whilst we acknowledge there has been a small increase in complaints to the ombudsman over the past year, to put this in context, every year the Welsh NHS deals with around 18 million contacts in primary care, three million outpatient attendances each year and one million A&E attendances and 750,000 admissions to hospital."
The 29-year-old is available for Saturday's League two match with Hartlepool United at Rodney Parade.
Bird is manager Graham Westley's 12th signing in January as bottom-placed Exiles strive to avoid relegation.
"Ryan has a strong track record in situations like ours and in our league," Westley told the club's website.
"He is both a target man and an able runner, essential ingredients on our pitch."
Newport have also confirmed that Swansea City midfielder Josh Sheehan will remain with the club until the end of the season after his loan deal was extended.
However, midfielder Mark Randall has joined Ben Tozer and Jack Campton in being transfer listed by the Rodney Parade club.
Mearl C Waswick was a tail gunner on a B-17 which made an emergency landing in Strathaven, South Lanarkshire, in 1943.
His niece, Vicki Graham, 63, and her husband Barry, 65, from South Dakota, visited the field at Braehead farm where the Flying Fortress came down.
They also spoke to Archie Watt, 84, who saw the plane land when he was an 11-year-old boy working in a nearby field.
Mr Watt said: "They just came out of the blue. The first I heard was the tops of the trees getting stripped off by the plane passing through them and then it did a bellyflop and landed without the undercarriage coming down.
"We went across and when we got there they were all out. The crew were fine as I remember. It was a perfect landing under the circumstances. They picked the right field. There was hardly a mark on the plane.
"It's very nice to meet the Grahams. I didn't get to know any of the crew but I'll never forget it. It was the biggest fright of my life. Every time I see a plane flying it flashes through my head."
The crash also remained a secret in the Graham family for decades until their daughter Carrie wrote a story about her great-uncle, who died in 1999.
He produced a penny he took as a reminder of the crash, which she now wears on a necklace, and told her a little of what happened.
Standing at the crash site on Wednesday, her mother Vicki said: "It's very emotional. It was part of my uncle's history and I kind of wish he could have been able to come and see the place and meet the people and meet Archie again.
"He didn't talk a lot about his war. He was a very shy and quiet man.
"My uncle was the only injury. They all got out the top of the plane and when they were getting out one of the guys stood on his face. He didn't tell us that, it was his friend, another crew member.
"He said the people around here were wonderful."
The B-17 was heading from Newfoundland to a base in Polebrook, Northamptonshire, via Prestwick, South Ayrshire, when it lost an engine 1,000 miles out in the Atlantic and then ran out of fuel on being diverted from fog-bound Prestwick.
Mrs Graham said the pilot told the crew to parachute out but they stayed with him as he brought the plane down safely.
The couple were driven to the site by Glasgow Taxis, which also arranged for them to meet Mr Watt there.
Five people were wounded, two critically, by a 17-year-old who went on the rampage on a train in the southern state of Bavaria on Monday.
The attacker, who arrived in Germany in 2015 as an unaccompanied migrant, was shot dead holding an axe and a knife.
A video emerged in which he said he was a soldier of so-called Islamic State.
Mr de Maiziere said the teenager had been "incited" by IS propaganda but there was no evidence that he was following the militant group's orders.
Witnesses said the attacker, Muhammad Riyadh, screamed "Allahu Akbar" (God is great) three times, and IS has claimed the teenager as a follower through its news agency. A hand-painted IS flag was found in his room.
However, he was unknown to German intelligence and no concrete link has yet been established with IS.
The government was doing all it could to prevent such attacks, the minister said, but there could be no guarantee.
The interior minister described Monday night's axe attack in Wuerzburg as "perhaps half-way between running amok and terror".
"In Germany we must also expect attacks by small groups or radicalised 'lone-wolf' attackers," he said.
Of the five people wounded, four were a family from Hong Kong and German officials said on Wednesday that two remained in a critical condition.
A man of 62 and his daughter's boyfriend suffered severe head wounds and are being treated in intensive care.
"The assailant started attacking my sister's boyfriend and when my mother and father saw they tried to get in the way and got hurt," Silvia Yau told Hong Kong's Apple Daily.
The mother and daughter were also wounded but their 17-year-old son escaped unhurt.
There was no indication that the family had been targeted specifically because they were Chinese.
Muhammad Riyadh had only just moved to a foster family in Wuerzburg from a refugee centre at Ochsenfurt south of Frankfurt.
He was described as a quiet boy who had had a work placement in a bakery and had not displayed any radical behaviour.
But questions have now been raised about whether he was really from Afghanistan. A Pakistani document was found in his room, reports said.
It is common knowledge that Afghan refugees are more likely to be given asylum in Germany than irregular migrants from Pakistan, so there have been many cases of migrants pretending to come from Afghanistan.
Several clues to his origin have emerged from the video he filmed before he attacked the regional train near his home.
His use of the Pashto language suggests he at least spent some time in Pakistan, because of his choice of words.
When speaking of Syria, Riyadh chose Sham, the word used in Pakistan. In Afghanistan, Pashto speakers would say Suria.
His choice of term for Army is also key. He says Fauj, which is common in Pakistan, rather than Aurdu, the word used in Afghanistan.
Many Afghans have lived in Pakistan for years, particularly since the rise of the Taliban. So Riyadh could well have spent all his life in Pakistan, despite being ethnic Afghan.
Last year Germany registered more than one million migrants, including more than 150,000 Afghans, although the number has slowed dramatically this year since new EU measures were taken to stop the flow.

Chris Msando had deep scratches and cuts on his back and hands, the chief government pathologist said.
Mr Msando was in charge of Kenya's computerised voting system for next Tuesday's presidential elections.
His body was discovered next to the corpse of a woman in a forest on the outskirts of Nairobi at the weekend.
"There was no doubt that he was tortured and murdered," Wafula Chebukati, chair of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), said on Wednesday.
An autopsy on the body of the woman found alongside Mr Msando, thought to be that of his companion Carol Ngumbu, will take place on Thursday.
The investigation is still ongoing, government spokesperson Eric Kiraithe confirmed, dismissing earlier reports that three suspects had been arrested.
In a joint statement, the United States and the United Kingdom said they were "gravely concerned" by the murder, calling for "free, fair, credible and peaceful elections" in Kenya.
The two countries also offered assistance in the investigation. Mr Msando's family urged the Kenyan government to accept the offer in order to "conclude the matter with urgency".
"We are deeply devastated at the tragic loss," the family said in a statement.
"Chris Msando was a loving family man, who cherished and adored his wife and children."
The family also asked social media users to be mindful of what they post, saying: "A lot of the information out there is false and meant to injure and paint the family in a bad light."

Some users in the US reported that Yahoo Mail was displaying a message asking them to disable their ad-blocker before they could access their inbox.
Yahoo said it was testing a "new product experience" in the US.
Members of one ad-blocking forum said they had already managed to circumvent the restriction.
Ad-blocking has proved to be controversial and technology companies have responded in different ways.
In September, Apple updated its mobile operating system iOS to allow third-party ad-blockers to be installed - although they do not remove Apple's own ads which it serves up in apps.
Google meanwhile has introduced a paid subscription version of YouTube, that lets viewers remove ads on the video streaming site for a monthly fee.
Ad-blocking advocates say disabling advertisements can improve smartphone battery life and reduce mobile data usage.
It can also prevent people being tracked by advertisers online and protect devices from malware that could be served up if an advertising network is compromised.
In 2014, Yahoo admitted adverts on its homepage had been infected with malware for four days.
But the company currently relies on advertising to earn money from its Yahoo Mail service which is available to use for free.
Burhan Wani, 22, died in a gunfight with the Indian army on Friday.
More deaths were reported on Monday after a weekend of violence left 23 dead, including a policeman.
The violence is the worst seen in the region for years. Some 800 extra troops are being sent to help restore order.
More than 200 other people have been injured in the clashes, in which government forces have fired live rounds and tear gas.
A curfew is in place across much of the Muslim-majority Kashmir valley after a police post was set alight and a military airbase targeted during the latest clashes.
Disputed Kashmir is claimed in its entirety by both India and Pakistan and has been a flashpoint for more than 60 years, sparking two wars between the countries.
Kashmir deaths after key militants killed
Why a cricket match caused student unrest in Kashmir
Within the disputed Muslim-majority territory, some militant groups have taken up arms to fight for independence from Indian rule or a merger with Pakistan.
The last bout of serious violence in the region was in the summer of 2010, when more than 100 people died in anti-India protests, which broke out after police shot dead a teenager.
Burhan Wani is largely credited with reviving the image of militancy in Indian-administered Kashmir.
Born to a highly educated upper-class Kashmiri family, Wani is believed to have been driven to militancy at the age of 15, when he was beaten up by police along with his brother "for no reason".
Wani was extremely active on social media and, unlike militants in the past, did not hide his identity.
His video messages, which would often go viral in Kashmir, were on the topics of Indian injustice, and the need for young people to stand up to oppression.
Indian officials have said that he was instrumental in persuading local boys to take up arms.
Why the death of militant has Kashmiris up in arms
Almost all the dead in the current outbreak of violence are protesters.
The policeman died after his car went into a river in the Jhelum area on Sunday.
Police say the vehicle was pushed in by crowds but some accounts say it went into the water after the driver lost control in an attempt to avoid stone-throwing mobs.
The BBC's Riyaz Masroor in Srinagar says tensions remained high on Monday, with crowds attempting to breach curfew orders.
Four top separatist leaders released a joint statement in which they called on India's government to "abandon the policy of stopping people's marches by bullets".
The violence has led to the suspension of a popular Hindu religious pilgrimage to the Amarnath temple shrine, which has stranded some 15,000 devotees in the neighbouring region of Jammu, Indian media reported.
More than 2,000 pilgrims who were on the way back from the temple have been airlifted out of Kashmir, police officials told the BBC.
Thousands attended Wani's funeral which was held in his hometown of Tral, about 40km (25 miles) south of Srinagar, on Saturday.
Police stations and military installations were attacked in violent clashes afterwards, with several buildings burned down, police added.
The state government has said that it would also investigate reports of excessive police violence towards unarmed protesters.
Rights groups have described the current situation as a state of emergency. Hospitals struggled to cope with wounded protesters and phone and internet services were suspended.
The level of separatist insurgency violence in the region has ebbed and flowed since 1989, but it has claimed the lives of tens of thousands of people, mainly civilians.
The news has been welcomed by triathlete James Corlett, from Mapperley, who said educating road users was also important.
The city council said funding for cycle lanes around Dunkirk, Mansfield Road, and the River Lean corridor in Basford has been secured.
The authority is also applying for £6m from the Department for Transport.
Mr Corlett, who has represented Team GB at amateur level, said he has had several near misses whilst cycling in the city.
He said: "It's a good investment but I also think there needs to be a whole package.
"We need to educate people better, not only car drivers but there some absolute idiots on bikes too."
Councillor Jane Urqhart, who is responsible for transport in the city, said areas where safety needs to be stepped up are constantly reviewed.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) will elect the winner at a vote in Lima, Peru, in September 2017.
Toronto mayor John Tory announced on Monday that the Canadian city had decided not to bid for the Games, citing other priorities.
The IOC changed the rules in August to ensure every city bidding for the 2024 Olympics progresses to the final vote.
Previously the organisation selected a shortlist of candidates on which the 100 IOC members would vote.
The change came after four cities - Oslo, Stockholm, Krakow and Lviv - withdrew during the bidding process for the 2022 Winter Olympics.
Beijing narrowly beat the only remaining challenger, Almaty of Kazakhstan, in the final vote of IOC delegates.
IOC president Thomas Bach said his organisation will conduct "confidential polls" to judge public support in each of the five bidding cities.
"The IOC wants to send the athletes only in cities where they are welcome," said Bach. "This is why public support for a bid is so important."
Los Angeles, USA: The only bidder from the United States following Boston's withdrawal in July. Seeking to stage the Olympics for a third time after hosting in 1932 and 1984. The LA24 bidding team is promising to "put on a show that only LA can do for the greatest athletes on the face of the earth". The plans are again based around the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, which would become the first stadium to host three Olympic games if the city's bid is successful.
Hamburg, Germany: Will hold a referendum in November on whether the city actually wants the Games, but the early signs are promising after 20,000 people joined a torch-lit march to demonstrate their support. Proposing a carbon-neutral Olympics with venues within walking distance of each other. Bidding to stage the Olympics for the first time, Hamburg proclaims itself as Germany's sportiest city and a recent survey revealed 80.5% of men and women in Hamburg take part in at least one sport each week. Germany also wants to host the 2024 football European Championship.
Paris, France: Twice hosts in 1900 and 1924, the French capital is still smarting from losing the 2012 Olympics to London. That bid was criticised for being dominated by politicians, so triple canoeing gold medallist Tony Estanguet has been made a vice-president of the bid this time. Like London 2012, Paris is promising a host of iconic landmark venues: open-water swimming in the Seine; triathlon at the Eiffel Tower; and a cycling time-trial finish at the Palace of Versailles are some of the proposed locations.
Rome, Italy: Despite being hosts in 1960, Rome's bid may struggle to overcome the impact of its last bid to stage the Olympic Games. The Italian government forced the city to pull out of the race for 2020 because of budget concerns, with the Games eventually going to Tokyo. Rome is planning to base its bid around the Stadio Olimpico, which was last refurbished for the 1990 World Cup and is home to the city's biggest football clubs, Roma and Lazio.
Budapest, Hungary: Hungary is the only one of the 10 most successful medal-winning countries at the Summer Olympics never to have hosted the event. Budapest has bid for the Olympics five times before, and has been planning this latest Olympic bid since 2008. If successful, the Hungarian capital would become only the second Eastern European city to host the summer Olympics, after Moscow in 1980. The city is promising to build a host of new venues for the games, but is pointing to the many world championships it has hosted in recent years. Budapest will stage the World Swimming Championships in 2021.
With nearly two years until the vote in Lima it is early days, but already people are talking about Paris and Los Angeles as the front-runners.
Both cities have twice hosted the Games, Paris most recently in 1924. The 2024 Olympics will mark its 100th centenary, which may chime with IOC members. Also in the French capital's favour is it has plenty of experience in staging major sports events, while its bid leaders maintain lessons have been learned following the bitterly disappointing defeat by London for the 2012 edition.
The IOC made no secret of its desire for an American bid this time around. A US city last hosted the Summer Games in 1996 and, with commercial differences between US Olympic leaders and the IOC defused, there is no shortage of support for the showpiece to make a return.
Rome wants to bring back the Olympics to the Italian capital for the first time since 1960, while Hamburg and Budapest are seeking a first ever Games.
Right now, all three will probably be considered outsiders, but so were London and Rio at the same stage of the 2012 and 2016 campaigns, and we all remember how those contests panned out.
Much can, and probably will, change throughout what is a complicated bidding process.
The Bath teenager finished third in the 100m individual medley with a personal best time of of 59.72 seconds.
Hungarians Katinka Hosszu and Zsuzsanna Jakabos took gold and silver, with Britain's Sophie Smith in fifth.
"I'm really happy because I didn't expect to come here and medal," said O'Connor, who turns 17 on Friday.
"I've been putting in really hard work in training so to come away with a medal and my first senior medal, I'm over the moon. Obviously I was going in ranked third so I knew I had a chance but anything can happen in a race.
"I was a bit nervous because that was only my second senior final but I just pushed hard and managed to go a bit faster than the semis." | Lewis Hamilton says he feels no tension with Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg despite their crash together at the previous race in Spain.

Swansea suffered heartbreak as a late second goal from Gabriel Jesus handed the hosts all three points.
Fabianksi was keen to dwell on the positives with Paul Clement's side a point above the Premier League relegation zone.
"It should give us confidence moving forward," said Fabianski.
"Especially coming to a team like Manchester City, away from home, and basically being the team that dictates what happens on the pitch. It's a very positive sign.
"With a bit more luck and a better save we could have got a point here. It shows we have improved defensively.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"I think we can all see and get the feeling that there is something very positive happening and we just have to build on that. "
For Fabianski there was added frustration he had not done better to stop Jesus' added-time winner at the Etihad Stadium.
The Poland international blocked the initial header, but the Brazilian forward was able to tap the rebound home, leaving Fabianski slightly regretful.
"Obviously when you get a touch on the ball, in the back of your head you think maybe you should have done better," Fabianski added.
"It was close range and it was a bouncing ball which is not always best for the goalie, but maybe I got caught a bit between catching it and trying to palm it away. It is frustrating.
"It is very hard to take especially after a good performance in the second-half."
An upturn in results and performances since manager Clement's arrival has seen the scrap at the bottom of the Premier League tighten up with just two points now separating the bottom six clubs.
Swansea face ailing defending champions Leicester City at the Liberty Stadium in a vital game next Sunday.
Claudio Ranieri's side are level on points with Swansea just outside the bottom three, having failed to win a league game in 2017.
Timlin scored his first goal since March 2016 in the 4-1 League One win, which saw Southend move up to fifth.
"All the boys said before the game it was almost written in the stars, it was going to happen," the 31-year-old said.
"It's a fantastic feeling, the birth of my first child, Rafe, and getting the win tonight and scoring."
He added to BBC Essex: "We knew how important this win was for us because if Peterborough beat us we would be level on points, and with Millwall drawing at home it's a massive result."
According to Timlin, his son's birth came around an hour after team-mate Anton Ferdinand's own baby girl arrived. The Southend captain missed Tuesday's game at the ABAX Stadium.
Timlin said he only needed to be asked once by manager Phil Brown whether or not he wanted to play the match against fellow play-off hopefuls Posh.
"My missus started having some tweaks on Friday night and I was worried about the game on Saturday," he added.
"Then I was hoping it was going to happen on Sunday, then when it didn't happen I didn't want it to go close to Tuesday's game because we're on such a good run, I wouldn't have been happy to miss the game.
"Obviously you want to be there for the birth of your child, my first one, but my missus knew the situation - if we had the baby on time I definitely wanted to be playing."
The two-day event last took place in 2012, but bad weather meant they had to spend their contingency fund.
Organisers have not been able to raise the £60,000 contingency fund needed to stage the show this year.
Paul Bayfield, from the organisers, said: "It feels like a bereavement as we think it was very, very special."
The event cost about £300,000 in total to stage and it attracted up to 240,000 people when the weather was favourable.
The Lowestoft Vision business group tried to raise the £60,000 to save the festival, but ran out of time and admitted defeat in October.
Waveney District Council handed over the organisation of the event to a community interest company called Lowestoft Seafront Air Festival Ltd in 2004.
They did not charge an entry fee, but people visiting the seafront were asked to make voluntary donations.
Mr Bayfield, who is managing director of the company, said: "The public could have supported us better and so could some of the local businesses, because the people who made the most from the air show contributed the least.
"But that is definitely it now. We rent a store and for us to carry on in the vain hope that someone may come along and give us a bit of backing is not realistic.
"We will sell-off our weather vane, air traffic control shed, buoys and other equipment and all the money that is left we will distribute between the various charities that have helped us."
An hour or two after the action subsides and Murrayfield falls silent, the players file out to greet supporters queuing in the shadows of the towering west stand.
A throng of youngsters draped in Saltires, cheeks caked with face paint, necks craned over the barrier fence awaiting the emergence of their heroes, confronts them.
For Watson, the penning of signatures and distributing of kit bears particular significance. A decade ago, it might have been him at the heart of the clamour.
"Me and my brother always used to queue up for autographs after the games," the flanker recalls.
"It's quite funny now me coming out and chucking my socks to them. I always try and give my shorts and socks away because I remember how much I loved it when I got a pair after a game.
"I think on one occasion I got Dan Parks' and a few others. When we were kids it was so exciting to get autographs, so I always try and give stuff away."
Watson may be 25, but he's still a kid himself in international terms, a fledgling of five caps, two of them as substitute.
His, however, was a deeply compelling autumn. He played every minute of Scotland's trio of Tests, battling blow-for-blow on the open-side flank with Australian titans David Pocock and Michael Hooper, the livewire Argentine Pablo Matera, then the hulking totem of Georgian rugby, Mamuka Gorgodze.
"It was amazing, it was great to get a run of games and actually start a few back-to-back," he says.
"You're coming up against internationals every week for your club, but you're only playing four or five of them.
"Against a whole team of them, the main thing you notice is it's a lot quicker and a bit more physical, so you've got to get all your carries perfect and roles right.
"The nerves before that first start against Australia in front of a packed Murrayfield were pretty massive - I still get nervous for Edinburgh games, so I don't think that'll ever go away, but I'm not one to throw up."
Watson was born in Manchester, but is eligible for Scotland through his grandparents. He attended Oakham School near Leicester, from where he would hop in a taxi after class and ride 40 minutes to Scottish Exiles training in Nottingham.
His teenage toil yielded a coveted berth in Leicester Tigers' academy, then a jaunt on the World Sevens Series with Scotland, and finally, an elite development contract in the nation's capital.
In his six seasons riding the maddening Edinburgh rugby rollercoaster, Watson has played under three head coaches, and wildly contrasting strategies.
He signed amid the borderline kamikaze attacking days of Michael Bradley, grafted through the rigid era of Alan Solomons, while interim head coach Duncan Hodge is now trying to forge a successful marriage of the two.
"Under 'Bradders' our attack was amazing, everyone knew Edinburgh could score 50-plus points, but our defence was dreadful," Watson says. "Alan came in, consolidated Edinburgh, made them a solid mid-table team and very hard to beat at home.
"We were known for having an amazing set-piece, but maybe lacked in scoring tries. Now, our attack's looking very good, our defence is good, but we're sometimes a bit off-it. We've got to find a good equilibrium.
"I think Hodgey's given the boys slightly more freedom in attack, more freedom to push those offloads, which has helped.
"We've scored quite a lot of tries off the back of that. The attack, we're playing at a higher tempo, he's tried to change training up a bit, and he's an attack coach, so he's brought lots of his styles from Scotland. It's given him a bit more freedom to push through his attack."
Edinburgh's form this season, however, is enough to drive the most placid of supporters to the brink of insanity. In October, they beat Harlequins, then lost to Zebre. They beat Ulster, then lost to Dragons.
A fortnight ago, they trailed Stade Francais by 17 points at half-time, had Phil Burleigh sent off, and yet salvaged victory in pulsating fashion. Last week, they were 23 points down to Stade at half-time and only just failed to repeat those heroics.
For too many seasons, Edinburgh have festered like this. So much fleeting promise; so little tangible success. One step forward, two back. There can be few teams who persistently torment their fans in such fashion.
"It's not just the fans, it's massively frustrating as a player as well, and it's hard to put your finger on it," Watson says.
"We still haven't given an 80-minute performance this season. Even against Quins, we were amazing, we won the game, but we let them come back into it, and the same against Ulster, we had a late scare.
"I think that'll come - we're quite a young squad, so every game these young players are getting more and more experienced.
"If we manage to keep all of our players, we will be a very strong squad in a few years - it will be a very good squad if we keep our young, exciting players."
Two of them - back-rower Magnus Bradbury, 21, and 19-year-old full-back Blair Kinghorn - have committed themselves to staying in the capital until 2020 and 2019 respectively, while Watson is keen to extend his own contract beyond the end of the season.
More immediately, he is eager to help Edinburgh cling on to the 1872 Cup - a trophy they have lifted the past two seasons despite their struggles, and the continued good form of rivals Glasgow Warriors.
"We've had the edge the last two years, but these are the games Edinburgh never struggle with," he says. "These are the games you don't have to get psyched up for. It's the ones like Zebre at home, Dragons away, we need to start winning.
"Every game, you always feel you're ready, but maybe mentally you're not quite ready. But those are the games we've got to win, and that's the big difference in the league at the moment."
If Edinburgh are to finally sustain anything like their best form for more than a fleeting burst, the affable breakaway will surely have a few more pairs of socks to dish out come the Six Nations.
On Wednesday, they will debate this week's EU summit, when leaders are due to discuss migration and co-operation on security and defence.
Theresa May will once again be asked to leave the room at dinnertime, as the 27 EU chiefs discuss their Brexit strategy for after the UK triggers Article 50.
Alongside the usual tying-up of legislative loose ends and debates on annual reports, they will vote on weighty transport legislation relating to railways and ports.
The approval of new powers to suspend visa waivers on Thursday could lay the ground for deals on EU visa-free travel deals for Georgia and Ukraine.
And MEPs will present their annual human rights prize to Yazidi rights activists Nadia Murad Basee and Lamiya Aji Bashar.
Here's a rundown of the week ahead…
The sitting will open with a debate on new EU rules for the awarding of domestic rail contracts.
The proposals would bring in mandatory competitive tendering for public service contracts - making up the biggest share of passenger services - from 2023.
Directly awarding contracts would require complying with stricter performance criteria on punctuality and customer satisfaction.
MEPs reached a deal on the legislation with EU states in April, which will be put to a final vote on Wednesday.
They will also debate proposals to increase market access in certain port services, including refuelling, berthing and towing operations and waste collection.
Plans to open up competition in the maintenance of port access paths, known as dredging, were dropped during negotiations after opposition from MEPs.
Measures to increase competition in other areas, including cargo handling, were not included in the Commission's plans after years of previous opposition.
A compromise agreement with EU ministers will also be put to a final vote on Wednesday.
After this they will discuss plans to ban the use of fishing nets below 800m in the north-east Atlantic.
The plan is included in legislation imposing stricter controls on fishing in the region in a bid to prevent over-fishing of vulnerable species.
Plans in the original legislation for a total ban on using nets for deep-sea fishing were thrown out after opposition from fishermen in Portugal, France, and Spain.
In the evening they will also debate respect of "fundamental rights" in the EU in 2015 and recommendations to boost the bloc's creative industries.
The morning sitting kicks off with a debate on measures announced by the EU Commission last month to promote clean energy.
The package includes laws to change electricity markets in the hope of meeting the bloc's commitment to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 40% by 2030.
Before the voting session, there will be a short ceremony to award this year's Sakharov human rights prize to Yazidi rights activists Nadia Murad Basee and Lamiya Aji Bashar.
The pair were among were among thousands of Yazidi girls and women abducted and forced into sexual slavery by so-called Islamic State (IS) in Iraq in 2014.
In the afternoon, MEPs will be joined by EU Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker and Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico to debate Slovakia's EU presidency, which finishes at the end of this month.
For the past six months, the country has organised meetings of the Council of Ministers, where national governments debate and vote on EU legislation.
The country will pass on the baton to Malta at the start of next month.
After this, the will debate the EU's ongoing probe into the rule of law in Poland.
The probe was launched at the start of this year after Poland's new government made controversial changes to the set-up of the country's constitutional court.
In July, the Commission said the changes presented a "systemic threat" to the rule of law and asked Poland to take measures to remedy the situation.
The country has questioned the legitimacy of the review.
As well as debating a report into human rights around the world and the future of the EU's common security policy, MEPs will discuss plans to liberalise trade in textiles with Uzbekistan.
The proposal was initially rejected by MEPs five years ago over concerns about forced and child labour in the Uzbek cotton-picking industry.
A vote on whether to approve the new trade measures will be held on Wednesday, along with a ratification vote on an EU trade agreement with Ecuador.
The deal with Ecuador was signed last month but must be approved by MEPs before it can fully come into effect.
It would eliminate EU tariffs on Ecuadorian fish and industrial products, and increase market access for certain agricultural products.
However lower tariffs on bananas would still be subject to annual import limits.
The morning sitting will be entirely devoted to a debate on the European Council summit at the end of this week.
EU leaders will be discussing EU measures relating to migration, common EU defence policy, and how to deal with the Dutch rejection of an EU partnership deal with Ukraine.
The leaders of 27 EU states will also hold an informal meeting to discuss how to handle the Brexit process once the UK eventually triggers formal exit negotiations.
Before the voting session at 11.00 GMT, Martin Schulz will make a statement about his decision not to seek a third term as the Parliament's president.
He announced at the end of last month that he would instead be standing for election as an MP in the German Parliament.
In the afternoon, MEPs will discuss latest negotiations to unlock further funds from Greece's EU/IMF bailout.
Under the programme, Greece will receive loans of up to €86bn over the next three years in return for commitments to loosen labour laws and cut public spending.
Eurozone countries are reportedly at odds with the IMF over the size of the budget surplus they should demand from the country after the bailout deal ends.
After this they will discuss new emergency powers to suspend visa-free travel rights with countries that have signed visa liberalisation deals with the EU.
The new legislation would allow either the Commission or a majority of EU states to suspend a country's visa exemptions if there is a large increase in asylum requests.
Agreement on the suspension mechanism among national ministers was reached last week, and will go to a final vote on Thursday.
The new powers have been seen as a crucial pre-condition for finalising arrangements to grant visa-free travel to Ukraine and Georgia.
In the evening MEPs will debate the leak of information relating to terrorism investigations from Europol, the EU police co-operation agency.
Dutch media recently reported that a former Europol employee had inadvertently published information relating to 54 cases online.
They will also debate action by the EU Commission to get the US and Canada to reciprocate visa waivers with a number of eastern European states.
The day's short sitting will begin with a debate on an annual report into the activities of the Parliament's petitions committee during 2015.
The report says that during 2015, the committee received 1,431 petitions, of which 943 were admitted and 483 were declared admissible.
After this, they will debate the month's three motions on human rights cases.
This month they will be debating the Larung Gar Buddhist Academy in Tibet, the plight of Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar and mass graves in Iraq.
After the voting session the afternoon sitting will comprise a single debate, on changes to the EU's customs code.
Please note: This agenda is subject to modification at the opening of the session on Monday afternoon.

Khuram Javed, 34, from Faraday Court, Rotherham, has been charged as part of Operation Stovewood.
The charges relate to two girls. They include rape and sexual activity, plus arranging travel with a view to exploitation, between 2008 and 2014.
Mr Javed is due to appear at Sheffield Magistrates' Court on 20 July.
Operation Stovewood is the National Crime Agency's (NCA) investigation into non-familial sexual abuse in Rotherham between 1997 and 2013.
A total of 26 men have been arrested and eight have been charged in relation to 24 offences so far, the NCA said.
Mohammad Jan Rasoulyar wrote the message to Ashraf Ghani on the social network to say 90 soldiers had been killed in the past two days in Helmand.
He warned the president that the province could fall to the Taliban.
Mr Ghani's entourage was not telling him the reality of the situation, he added.
Facebook "isn't a good source to deliver the message", he admitted, but "Helmand will collapse to the enemies and it's not like Kunduz, where we could launch an operation from the airport to retake it. That is just impossible and a dream," he wrote.
The Taliban hunters
Who are the Taliban?
Why Taliban special forces are fighting Islamic State
Mr Rasoulyar appealed directly to the president for intervention in the province.
"Everyone loves power, I also like my job, but to protect my job I am not ready to pay a huge price," he wrote.
"Be quick and act on this! Protect Helmand from this life and death situation and distance yourself from the circle of those lawyers who tell you everything is OK and the situation is normal."
Sediq Seddiqi, a spokesman for the Afghan interior ministry, told the BBC that the ministry would release a statement on the death toll quoted by Mr Rasoulyar.
A spokesman for one of Helmand's security departments, who wished to remain anonymous, confirmed the number of casualties.
The US search engine giant recorded sales of £1.03bn and a pre-tax profit of £149m in the UK for the 12 months to the end of June 2016.
Like other major tech firms, Google has come under pressure over its tax arrangements.
Labour said the firm was still not paying its "fair share" of tax in the UK.
Google's accounts also showed it hired an extra 600 workers to take its UK workforce to nearly 3,000 last year.
Google is adamant that it is paying the 20% rate of corporation tax on its UK profits that businesses have to pay.
But the debate over its tax affairs is likely to rumble on, because of the way in which it organises its activities across international borders.
Google declared turnover of just over £1bn in the UK in the year to last June.
But the latest accounts filed in the US by Alphabet, Google's parent company, show UK sales of more than £6bn.
One reason for the discrepancy is that it treats its business here as a development and marketing services operation.
Sales are booked in the Irish Republic, where the tax rate happens to be lower.
A Google spokesman said: "As an international business, we pay the majority of our taxes in our home country, as well as all the taxes due in the UK.
"We have recently announced significant new investment in the UK, including new offices in Kings Cross for 7,000 staff."
Google agreed to pay £130m in back taxes to the UK last year, which was widely criticised as not being enough.
The sum covered money owed since 2005 and followed a six-year inquiry by Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC).
George Osborne, who was chancellor at the time, described the deal as a "victory", but Labour's John McDonnell said the sums were "trivial".
The agreement came after years of criticism of Google and other multinational firms over their tax arrangements in the UK and across Europe.
Mr McDonnell said the latest figures showed Google was still not paying enough tax.
He said: "It is a national disgrace that by paying just £36m in tax Google could have an effective tax rate lower than many working families in our country.
"And it exposes the complacency at the heart of this Tory government, which is allowing this to still continue despite last year's scandal."
He added: "It seems that the so-called 'successful' tax deal with Google that George Osborne boasted about last year has meant that they are still not paying their fair share under his successor Philip Hammond."
Meg Hillier MP, chair of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), said: "Yet again we see a large corporation paying a rate of tax that belies its significant presence and business transactions in the UK.
"This is why the PAC is working internationally to press for greater tax transparency so that we can all see clearly how much tax corporations pay and where.
She added: "There is already strong international support and growing collaboration for changing the way tax is reported by multinationals.
"This latest tax contribution from Google just underlines why this is so important."
HMRC declined to comment on Google's tax payment, saying it did not discuss identifiable taxpayers.
An HMRC spokesman said: "Everyone has to pay the tax due under the law and we do not settle for less.
"Our most recent figures show that HMRC brought in a record £26bn in extra tax for our public services, with £7.3 billion of that total coming from the 2,100 largest and most complex businesses in the UK."
The Peak District National Park Authority hopes more people will be inspired to visit the park after experiencing the landscape online.
National park volunteers recorded 360 degree images by using Google Trekker equipment - a backpack fitted with a cluster of 15 camera lenses.
Filming took place over the summer.
Jim Dixon, chief executive of the Peak District National Park, said: "It is our ambition that, by being on Google Street View, more people will enjoy the wonders of this protected and special landscape.
"Once people see it, I am sure they will be inspired to come and stay for a few days to explore first-hand what they have experienced online."
Google Street View previously only allowed people to view the Peak District from roads.
However, the Trekker equipment is designed to capture locations the Street View car and tricycle cannot reach.
It was deemed impractical to film "every inch" of the 555 sq mile (1,440 sq km) park, so highlights were selected.
These include North Lees, the Monsal Trail, Tissington Trail and High Peak Trail.
The Peak District became the UK's first national park in 1951, and Google said making it virtually accessible was in the park's "true pioneering spirit".
Previous locations captured by the Trekker technology include the Grand Canyon and the Taj Mahal.
Luke Robertson, 30, hopes to become the youngest Brit to achieve the feat, in aid of the charity Marie Curie.
He is spending 40 days alone, dragging 130kg of equipment across 730 miles of ice.
Mr Robertson is from Aberdeenshire but now lives in Edinburgh.
He will burn more than 10,000 calories per day while braving temperatures of -50C and 100mph winds.
He has already travelled almost 300 miles since setting off from Hercules Inlet on the edge of Antarctica on 5 December.
The adventurer was inspired to embark on the challenge after overcoming a series of health problems, including surgery to remove a suspected brain tumour a year ago, which turned out to be a large and rare cyst.
He also had a pacemaker fitted at the age of 23 after suffering a complete heart block.
Mr Robertson decided to donate the money raised from the Due South 2015 expedition to Marie Curie after witnessing first-hand the "amazing" work of the charity's nurses.
He said: "I have been overwhelmed by the support and generosities I have received so far in my fundraising efforts and know the infinite encouragement will enable me to push myself further and keep me smiling when I spend Christmas Day alone.
"I've seen first-hand the strength of the human character and hope that through undertaking this extreme endurance expedition I can inspire others and demonstrate the ability to overcome even the most testing situations."
Dr Jane Collins, chief executive of Marie Curie, said: "Luke's story is incredibly inspiring and I would like to thank him on behalf of everyone at Marie Curie for taking on this amazing personal challenge.
"He is a true inspiration to others and we know that his Antarctic adventure will make a real difference to people living with a terminal illness and their families."
The expedition has received high-profile support from explorer Sir Ranulph Fiennes and cyclist Mark Beaumont.
The project is being developed at Google X, the company's clandestine tech research arm, which is also responsible for its self-driving car.
Project Wing has been running for two years, but was a secret until now.
Google said that its long-term goal was to develop drones that could be used for disaster relief by delivering aid to isolated areas.
They could be used after earthquakes, floods, or extreme weather events, the company suggested, to take small items such as medicines or batteries to people in areas that conventional vehicles cannot reach.
"Even just a few of these, being able to shuttle nearly continuously could service a very large number of people in an emergency situation," explained Astro Teller, Captain of Moonshots - Google X's name for big-thinking projects.
Google's self-flying vehicle project was first conceived of as a way to deliver defibrillator kits to people suspected of having heart attacks. The idea was that the drones would transport the equipment faster than an ambulance could.
"When you have a tool like this you can really allow the operators of those emergency services to add an entirely new dimension to the set of tools and solutions that they can think of," said Dave Voss, incoming leader of Project Wing.
The prototype vehicles that the company has built have successfully been tested by delivering packages to remote farms in Queensland, Australia, from neighbouring properties.
Australia was selected as a test site due to what Google calls "progressive" rules about the use of drones, which are more tightly controlled in other parts of the world.
Project Wing's aircraft have a wingspan of approximately 1.5m (4.9ft) and have four electrically driven propellers.
The total weight, including the package to be delivered, is approximately 10kg (22lb). The aircraft itself accounts for the bulk of that at 8.5kg (18.7lb).
The small, white glossy machine has a "blended wing" design where the entire body of the aircraft provides lift.
The vehicle is known as a "tail sitter" - since it rests on the ground with its propellers pointed straight up, but then transitions into a horizontal flight pattern.
This dual mode operation gives the self-flying vehicle some of the benefits of both planes and helicopters.
It can take off or land without a runway, and can hold its position hovering in one spot. It can also fly quickly and efficiently, allowing it to cover larger distances than the more traditional quadcopter vehicles available commercially.
The vehicles are pre-programmed with a destination, but then left to fly themselves there automatically.
This differs from many military drone aircraft, which are often remotely controlled by a pilot on the ground, sometimes on the other side of the world.
Eventually Google said it could use unmanned flying vehicles to deliver shopping items to consumers at home. That's a use that retail giant Amazon has already stated an interest in, with its proposed Prime Air service - the announcement of which generated headlines at the end of last year:
Amazon has asked the US Federal Aviation Administration for permission to conduct outdoor tests.
"The things we would do there are not unlike what is traditionally done in aerospace," said Mr Voss.
"It will be clear for us what level of redundancy we need in the controls and sensors, the computers that are onboard, and the motors, and how they are able to fail gracefully such that you don't have catastrophic problems occurring."
Other unusual vehicles have been investigated for humanitarian aid, including flying cars and hoverbikes, with the same aims of reaching cut-off areas quickly.
"We will have to see what kind of specific technology works best within the aid landscape, and if the new technology can integrate positively in the local context," said Lou Del Bello from news site SciDev.net, speaking about the category in general.
"It will need to demonstrate it can be cost effective, and respond to actual needs of local people."

And it’s been fair. In China they don't just counterfeit devices, they counterfeit entire shops - a knock-off Apple store was closed down in 2015.
Instances like this play into the West’s view of China as the world’s shameless imitator. A place where great ideas from the US and Europe go off to be assembled as cheaply as possible.
It's time to update that view.
At CES, the US's biggest trade show, Chinese companies could be found competing not only on price, but on fantastic ideas and design.
As China's consumers have matured - and by that I mean, got a lot richer - so too has its technology industry.
Like many a British popstar, China is intent on breaking America. But the question is whether Chinese firms can earn greater trust from Western consumers.
'Sounds French'
Occupying a sizable booth in CES's North Hall is LeEco. It's pronounced "Luh" and "eco" as in ecosystem.
On display here is a concept Tesla-like sportscar, some Smart bikes with Google's Android software built in, and a 12in (30cm) TV. The point: they do a lot.
LeEco was for a while known as the Netflix of China, a company that streamed content and eventually started making its own original material. Now it's branching out quickly into hardware - and started selling devices in the US at the tail end of last year.
"People assume LeEco… they think it sounds French,” says Kenny Mathers, from LeEco's marketing team.
" 'Le' in mandarin means 'joyful'," he added.
"Our name means joyful ecosystem. When consumers get to pick up our products they’re delighted with build quality and design."
Sounding French is a good thing for a Chinese company, Mathers acknowledged, as it removes a trust barrier for people used to words like Apple rather than, say, Xiaomi. That said, I’ve heard at least five different pronunciations of LeEco this week.
Looking around the booth I spotted what looked very much like a GoPro camera, and I put it to Mathers that even here we're still seeing a disregard for Western intellectual property.
"I wouldn’t say that," he said.
"I would say that there’s a lot of innovation in our products. We've had a huge number of innovations in our phone line - we were the first company to remove the audio jack."
He is of course referencing Apple’s controversial decision to remove the headphone socket from its latest iPhone - though I’m not sure that’s been a particularly popular move by either company.
LeEco won't be drawn on reports of its money woes - back in China it’s reported that Haosheng Electronics, one of LeEco’s suppliers, is taking legal action over unpaid bills. LeEco has denied reports it has failed to meet its financial obligations.
'Poor country'
According to the latest figures from research firm Gartner, sitting third in the global smartphone sales race - behind Samsung and Apple - is Huawei.
Already the biggest supplier of telecoms infrastructure in Europe, Huawei was one of the early entrants into Western markets - though in the US it was coy. The company made Google's Nexus 6P, released in 2015, but until now hadn't undertaken any serious attempts at pushing its own brand.
The new Mate 9, a so-called phablet, is the company's first high-end device to be launched in the US. One stand-out feature is a built-in voice assistant.
Curiously, while the company makes its own AI assistant, it has opted to integrate Amazon’s Alexa into this device instead. I wondered if it was because US users might not trust a Chinese firm with such broad data gathering. But Richard Yu, Huawei's chief executive (for the consumer side of things), gave a simpler explanation.
"Amazon Alexa is the best in this country,” he told me.
"We want to bring to the consumer the best services. In the China market we have our own - we have no intention to do this [in the US] in the short term."
Momentum shift
Last year, Huawei had an unexpected gift: Samsung’s devices kept on catching on fire.
"Their problem has given Huawei more opportunity to be in the market," Mr Yu said, though he felt the Mate 9 would have given Samsung’s Galaxy Note 7 a run for its money even without the problems.
He said China deserved its reputation as an imitator in years past, but was quickly shaking off that image.
"Chinese vendors are getting stronger and stronger on innovation.
"It's not like 10, 20 years ago where many in China would learn [from the West]. There is more original innovation from China now.
"Thirty years ago China was a very poor country. Like North Korea. Very poor. Nothing.
"Within 30 years everywhere in China is changing, growing. In Huawei we have huge investment in innovation."
This year he said he expected the company to spend $10bn (£8.1bn) on research and development - roughly in line with Apple.
But spend isn't everything. No amount of money can buy a Steve Jobs or a Jony Ive. And the cultural boundaries are proving both frustrating and fascinating - what is a massive hit in China can fall desperately flat elsewhere.
But while American firms have struggled to make headway in China, Chinese firms are accelerating into the West. With high specifications and low prices, you shouldn't bet against them.

Greece's bailout expires at the end of the month and the country potentially faces leaving the eurozone.
Japan's Nikkei 225 closed 0.1% lower at 20,387.79 points while South Korea's Kospi index shed 0.5% to 2,042.32.
Australia's benchmark S&P/ASX 200 closed down 0.12% at 5,538.80 points.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng slid by 1.3% and the Shanghai Composite is 1% lower after the lunch break.
Last week, the International Monetary Fund unexpectedly pulled out of talks with Greece after saying that no progress had been made.
"Greek negotiations falling through bring hopes of a resolution too close to the wire, with a lot being hung on the Eurogroup meeting later this week," wrote Vishnu Varathan of Mizuho bank.
"We expect a tumultuous negotiation process to continue inducing euro volatility."
Investors will be watching the US Federal Reserve meeting on Wednesday for more clues about when the US central bank will raise interest rates.
"No change in policy is expected," Mr Varathan said. "However, Fed officials have done abrupt U-turns in the past when the data changes."
Central banks in Japan and Indonesia will also hold policy meetings this week.
However both the Bank of Japan and Bank Indonesia are expected to maintain interest rates at their current level.
Figures on China's latest property prices are also due to be released on Friday.
The annual crime performance statistics for 2015/16, which will go to Tynwald in July, show a total of 257 offences compared with 198 the previous year.
A police spokesman said most "were for low level possession, not supply".
There were about 2,000 crimes recorded during the year - the lowest since the 1970s. Chief Constable Gary Roberts said low crime levels were "good news".
Figures show there was a 53% fall in burglaries, an 18% drop in criminal damage and 33% fewer public order offences but there was an increase in sexual offences and domestic assaults.
Home Affairs Minister Juan Watterson said: "While recorded crime is falling, the demand on the constabulary is not.
"Increasingly the constabulary's role focuses on broader aspects of public safety, including dealing with people who are dependent on alcohol or drugs."
The Army freefall parachute display team was performing at the Whitehaven Air Show in Cumbria on Friday night when the parachute failed.
Pictures on social media show the men coming down together and crashing into the harbour waters.
A message on the show's Facebook page said both were all right.
It said: "We can confirm that the Red Devil parachutists are both safe and sound. For the first time in 25 years they had a parachute fail.
"One team member caught his team-mate and brought him into Queens Dock. Our safety procedures worked perfectly and a huge thank you to Whitehaven Marina for getting them out of the water so quickly."
Lucy Milne, who was watching the display, said: "It seemed to go on for ages and it's just seeing the panic of everyone around you and seeing it on the parachute guys as well - the panic.
"And then all of a sudden he just started to go really quick and everyone was holding their breath and then all of a sudden they were in the water.
"Everyone was staring at the water for ages waiting for them both to pop up and then when eventually they did everyone clapped."
Chief executive of the Whitehaven Festival Gerard Richardson said: "It has to be pointed out that the skill and cool thinking of both team members to then manage to steer to safety was incredible.
"It's a testament to the training and the skill of the British Forces and we are just happy that last night's drama had a happy ending.
"Within ten minutes of landing the lads were tucking into pie and peas and a pint and there was an audible sigh of relief in the crowd when we were able to announce they were both safe."
Gavin O'Reilly from Whitehaven, went to watch the display with his wife.
He said: "At first I didn't realise what was happening. I thought it was all part of the display.
"But then I noticed one of the parachutists frantically kicking their legs as they were approaching the water.
"I was up on some headland, an area called Kell, where you can get a good view of the harbour."
An Army spokesman said: "We can confirm that there was an incident during the Whitehaven Air Show, when a member of the Red Devils display team's parachute failed to open correctly.
"A team mate assisted in his safe landing, both men were unharmed, and we are now investigating to find out the cause of the incident."
Volunteer Dianne Richardson said: "To be honest, everybody thought they had been tangled up, but it was only afterwards that they found out that one of the guys managed to manoeuvre to safety.
"There are a lot of masts in the harbour. The professionalism and skills just shows why they are the best in the world."
The Red Devils formed in 1963 and carries out more than 60 displays every year.
It currently comprises 12 serving soldiers from the three battalions of the Parachute Regiment, all of whom have to have at least three years experience.
Spectator Liam Benson said it was "frightening" to watch: "The parachutists came out and you could clearly see quite early on that the parachute hadn't opened fully and his team mate kind of scrambling to interlock himself into the parachute to save him from falling... everybody was very very shocked at what was happening."

The men were armed with knives when they threatened the staff at the Old Toll Garage in Overtown, near Wishaw.
Det Insp Kenny Dalrymple said one 36-year-old women was hurt when she tried to stop the robbery on Monday night, while her 18-year-old colleague was physically restrained by the men.
"It was a very, very frightening experience for them both," he said.
The men fled the petrol station with a three-figure sum of money and some cigarettes.
Police are appealing for information from anyone who was in the area when the incident took place, at about 22:35.
Det Insp Kenny Dalrymple said: "This attack was obviously planned.
"The suspects waited until nearly closing time, possibly hoping to get the days' takings and maximise their haul, however, they were thwarted by the staff, one of whom (a 36-year-old woman) sustained a cut to her shoulder as she tried to stop the robbery.
"The other woman, aged 18 years, was restrained by the men during the attack, but was otherwise uninjured.
"Both were treated by paramedics at the scene and did not require to go to hospital, however, this was a very, very frightening experience for them both."
He added: "Officers are currently checking CCTV from the scene and have spoken to people who were on the forecourt at the time of the attack, however, we are keen to hear from anyone who was in the area at the time, particularly any passing motorist who may have dash-cam footage"
Both men were white and about 5ft 7in tall. They were wearing dark clothing and balaclavas or similar face coverings.
The Global Advisors Bitcoin Investment Fund (GABI) has been certified by the Jersey Financial Services Commission to run from 1 August.
Daniel Masters said Jersey's regulatory system meant major investors, such as pension and insurance companies, could invest in Bitcoin for the first time.
The fund will not be open to investments from the general public.
Global Advisors is a Jersey-based hedge fund company which usually specialises in commodities such as metals and oil.
Bitcoin was founded in 2009 although nobody knows by whom.
Each Bitcoin, like other forms of crypto-currencies, is simply a long string of computer code protected by a personal key which provides ownership and security.
All Bitcoins in circulation and their transactions histories are recorded in a giant ledger known as the blockchain. This prevents Bitcoins from being spent twice.
No middleman is required to verify the transaction so they are quick, secure and cheap to use.
Are crypto-currencies the future of money?
Mr Masters said investors would have to conform to the same security checks as those undertaken with mainstream financial products.
"For institutions there are no options right now," he said.
"This is institutional strength and it's an absolute world first."
Island leaders want Jersey to become a global centre for digital currencies and Bitcoin payments are already accepted by some local businesses.
There have been issues around the digital currency, including a lack of regulation and concerns over potential for money laundering and other illegal activity.
In October 2013 the FBI shut down online marketplace Silk Road, which traded in drugs and other illegal goods and took payments using "crypto-currencies".
"There is an anonymity associated with Bitcoin... but any cash or any Bitcoin coming into or out of our fund has to be fully identified under KYC (Know Your Customer) procedures, so there will be no dictators or criminals sending us money," said Mr Masters.
The department has ordered all schools and colleges in England to carry out fire safety checks.
Cladding on a secondary academy and a primary special school, both in London, was found to be "not of limited combustibility", says a DfE statement.
Both buildings have been declared safe after extra checks, it adds.
"As a precautionary step, both schools have already been inspected by the fire and rescue service, who confirmed appropriate measures are in place to mitigate the risks from potential fire, and the buildings have now been declared safe for continued use," says the statement.
The DfE ordered all England's 22,000 schools to carry out a fire safety survey following the blaze at west London's Grenfell Tower, in which at least 80 people are believed to have died.
And thousands of responses had now been received, a DfE spokesman said.
Schools with buildings over 18m (or about four storeys) high were also asked to send samples of any cladding of a similar type and structure to the aluminium composite cladding used at Grenfell for tests at the Buildings Research Establishment in Hertfordshire.
And the cladding at London Enterprise Academy, in Tower Hamlets, and The Bridge primary school, in Islington, had failed these safety tests, said the spokesman.
However, fire experts have been into both schools to ensure systems are in place for evacuation.
They had also advised that the design of these buildings meant the risk was not of the same order as that of housing, the spokesman added.
Checks by the Scottish government have found that no Scottish local authority-owned school buildings above 18m contain aluminium composite cladding of the type used at Grenfell.
The Scottish government has also asked universities and colleges to carry out fire assessments on their buildings and some cladding is being removed from a hall of residence at Edinburgh Napier University.
The Welsh government has also written to schools asking them to check the cladding on their buildings, with a particular focus on any buildings that are more than six storeys high.
Wada's compliance review committee meets in Montreal on Tuesday and is expected to recommend the East African country is declared non-compliant.
The organisation's board is then expected to approve the move on 12 May.
As revealed by BBC Sport, Kenya failed to meet a deadline on 11 February to pass a law establishing a new national anti-doping agency.
Wada then placed it on a 'watch-list' of nations at risk of breaching its code and gave it until 5 April to show it was tackling cheating in sport.
Kenyan lawmakers have held a preliminary reading of a bill criminalising sports doping, but two further hearings and presidential assent are still required.
The country's parliament went on a month-long recess last week without approving the legislation and extra funding, ensuring this latest deadline will be missed.
Once a country is declared Wada non-compliant, the International Olympic Committee - as well as international federations like the IAAF, athletics' world governing body - have the right to ban it from international competition.
With just four months to go before the Rio Olympics start, Russian athletes remain banned after the IAAF suspended the country over systemic doping last year. IAAF president Lord Coe has said he is ready to ban Kenya too if it is declared Wada non-compliant.
Kenya is dominant at distance running and topped the medal table at the 2015 World Championships in Beijing with seven gold medals.
But the country has become mired in doping and bribery allegations.
Since 2011, more than 40 of its athletes have failed drugs tests. Three senior officials at governing body Kenya Athletics have also been suspended following accusations they were involved in corruption linked to Doha's successful bid for the 2019 World Championships.
The officials and the Qatar campaign team deny any wrongdoing.
In February, the Kenyan government had told the BBC it was taking the threat of doping "very seriously" and has said its newly established national anti-doping organisation would soon be operational.
In May 2013 police revealed an investigation had begun into alleged abuse at the St Francis Boys Home in Shefford, in the 1950s and 1960s.
Ex-residents have been told there will be an evidence review under the command of senior investigator Mark Ross.
Bedfordshire Police said all previous investigations would be looked at.
The BBC has talked to former residents of the home who allege they were physically and/or sexually abused at the orphanage, run by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Northampton.
Many have said they were abused by priest Father John Ryan, who ran the home in the 1960s and died in 2008.
Others say they were abused by Fr Wilfred Johnson, who ran the home between 1945 and 1954 and died in 1994.
Mr Ross, a retired senior police officer, said: "The investigation has evolved due to the large number of victims and witnesses.
"We are now in a very different era and social attitudes and the criminal justice system have changed significantly in the last 50 years. I aim to provide all of the victims involved with an outcome.
"Many of the suspects have since died but police forces still have the responsibility to investigate these crimes and consider organisational responsibility at the time of the abuse."
Gordon McIntosh, a spokesman for ex-residents, welcomed the news.
"It's a very positive development and it has come out of the blue. I am hoping at the end of the day we can see some progress in this investigation," Mr McIntosh told the BBC.
The Diocese of Northampton has said it "deeply regrets" any hurt caused, but has stressed the "claims are not proven".
Mohamed Mohamoud has been promoting political engagement in Bristol's Somali community since co-founding grassroots community group Act for Somalia five years ago.
Last month Mr Mohamoud held a drop-in session at a cafe, setting up his laptop and offering guidance to help constituents to register to vote online.
The group say they have helped more than 4,000 Somalis in Bristol to join the electoral roll ahead of the general election.
Since then, advice has included showing people how to fill in a ballot paper to avoid accidentally spoiling a vote and explaining how things work at the polling station.
Mr Mohamoud said the polling day taskforce, made up of a core team of 12, would be out on the streets on 7 May, encouraging British Somalis to exercise their voting rights.
He said: "We know who's registered. On polling day, we will go to cafes and to shops. We will knock on doors and offer lifts.
"We will mobilise the community that day, and if they say 'I'm going to vote later', we will say 'no let me take you now'."
Many of Bristol's Somali population, which is estimated to be more than 10,000, live in the city's Bristol West constituency, with most concentrated in the Easton and Lawrence Hill areas.
Bristol West is considered to be one of the city's most diverse constituencies. Clifton and Redland are home to wealthy professionals but the neighbouring inner city areas of Easton and St Pauls are less affluent.
The constituency, currently held by the Liberal Democrats, also has a large young population, with a fifth being aged between 16 and 24. Students make up 17.3% of constituents.
Some of the issues concerning Bristol West's residents, raised at a recent BBC Radio Bristol debate, included housing, university tuition fees and local government.
Mr Mohamoud said the main issues concerning Bristol Somalis were education, unemployment and institutionalised racism.
He said: "Bristol West is a very interesting constituency - it's the tale of two cities. I recently read an article which said it's the cleverest place in the UK, with more people having doctorates than anywhere else.
"But at the same time it is one of the most deprived, and the question is how we balance it."
Mr Mohamoud set up the polling day taskforce because he believes Bristol Somalis were not seen as politically active but he emphasised that it was "impartial" and volunteers would not be "telling people who to vote for".
Mr Mohamoud moved to the UK from Mogadishu in 2001 as a teenager. Now married with three young children, he is studying for an MSc in public health at the University of South Wales and works in the health sector.
He said he was not "superhuman" and that the campaign was made possible by the "great team and colleagues" at Act for Somalia, who all give their time voluntarily.
"It's paid off for me, all the hard work, when I see the community voting in large numbers and not only voting but seeking election.
"This is a community that was in total isolation five or six years ago and is now politically active," he said.
Bristol has one British Somali Labour councillor and this year two British Somalis are standing in Bristol's local council elections representing the Liberal Democrats and the Conservatives.
Former social worker Abdi Barud, who now heads up the international organisation Global Somali Diaspora, said: "We are seen as invisible, irrelevant, not a noise-making community, because we are not registered and we don't vote.
"Therefore it's our responsibility to become a visible community, we want to be seen so we need to register, we need to be relevant and ensure politicians take us seriously.
"The challenge we face is that many in our community don't appreciate the significance of their vote and how their vote can alter their lives, but we need to overcome such challenges and we are making significant progress."
The candidates for the constituency are:
Thangam Debbonaire, Labour
Darren Hall, Green
Claire Hiscott, Conservative
Dawn Parry, Independent
Paul Turner, UKIP
Stewart Weston, Left Unity
Stephen Williams, Liberal Democrat
The reward for finding Ranjit Power, owner of the Ramada Park Hall Hotel & Spa in Wolverhampton, has been increased to £25,000.
His daughter Emma Power said: "We need to feel that more is being done."
He was reported missing on 14 May. The Foreign Office said it would "continue to support the family wherever we can".
Mr Power's partner Angela Bir said he left the UK on 7 May and was set to return on 14 May.
"It's not strange for dad to go over to India for business, but it is strange for him to book it 48 hours beforehand," his daughter Emma said.
The family believe that any possible kidnapping could have been planned in the UK.
His son, Gian Power, said people in India had been questioned by the Punjab Police, but as for arrests, "we don't know".
Indian journalist Ravinder Singh Robin said the Punjab Police "don't want to reveal any development in the case right now, they said it could affect their investigation".
The Foreign Office said in a statement: "We understand this is a very difficult time for the family. We have been providing consular assistance and liaising closely with local authorities from the outset."
West Midlands Police said it was aware Mr Power was missing.
Corby Developments has been given the go-ahead for the final 735 homes at Priors Hall alongside the A43 Stamford Road by East Northamptonshire Council.
Plans for more than 4,000 homes on greenfield land and a secondary school had been approved in 2007.
The final stage was backed by the council development control committee.
The cat was released unharmed by a member of Scottish Wildcat Action (SWA), a project set up in an effort to better protect the rare animals.
The wildcat was caught in Clashindarroch Forest in Strathbogie, an area around Huntly.
SWA project officer Emma Rawling said the "beautiful cat" was sitting "grumpily" in the trap.
An examination of markings on the cat's fur identified it as being a wildcat and not a feral domestic cat.
Ms Rawling said the cat was released as quickly as possible to avoid causing it stress.
She said: "I have never seen a cat move so fast and cover so much ground in a single jump.
"Within seconds it disappeared into the surrounding forest where it lives."
Earlier this year, SWA carried out what it described as the largest ever survey for Scottish wildcats.
The 60-day effort involved more than 300 cameras and more than 130 volunteers.
The effort focused on five of SWA's six priority areas - Strathpeffer, Strathbogie, Strathavon, North Strathspey and the Angus Glens.
Morvern is the project's other priority area.
In January, an image captured at a camera trap was believed to have shown a wildcat just several miles outside one of the largest towns in the Highlands.
The photograph was taken near Dingwall, about 14 miles (22km) north west of Inverness.
A hybrid, a cat with a mix of domestic and wildcat ancestry, was also photographed by the same camera.
The 31-year-old has been secured by the Scottish Premiership club on a two-year deal.
Lappin, who began his career with St Miren, joined Cardiff in January 2013 but failed to make a single appearance for the Welsh club.
He played 10 times during a loan spell with League One outfit Sheffield United.
Glasgow-born Lappin spent 10 years with St Mirren before being sold to Norwich City for £100,000 in 2007.
He made more than 100 appearances for the Canaries but also had loan spells with Motherwell and Cardiff.
The latter led to a permanent switch to the Bluebirds, but he was released this summer.
Lappin had recently been on trial with Championship title hopefuls Rangers.
Nell Ryder was devastated to find the ashes of her husband John had been taken from her car in Liverpool on Saturday before the family could scatter them on the River Mersey.
Ann Stone, 60, found the container on Darby Road on Monday and said she is "thrilled" she could return his ashes.
Mrs Ryder said she was "overwhelmed".
The widow, from Chester, had travelled to Liverpool to carry out the final wishes of her Toxteth-born husband by spreading his ashes on the River Mersey.
But when she returned to the car from a family meal, she saw the window had been smashed and the container holding the ashes of Mr Ryder, who was a carpenter, had been taken along with presents for her grandchildren.
Funeral director Stephen Johnstone confirmed the ashes are those of Mr Ryder and returned them on Monday evening.
Ms Stone said she had just returned from holiday so "had no idea" about Mrs Ryder's appeal to find the ashes.
She said she was unsure at first what the container was after finding it inside a carrier bag near her car.
"To be honest my first thought was that it had whisky in it but then we saw the funeral directors number on it and realised.
"I'm absolutely delighted I could return his ashes to his wife. My parents have gone and it is devastating," she said.
Mr Johnstone, from Saltney, Chester said: "I'm buzzing. I'm so made up for her. This has made one family so happy.
"It was such a shocking thing to happen but what a result to be reunited with them."
However, the high winds and blizzards have also prevented some from opening every day to the public.
Ski-Scotland, which promotes skiing and snowboarding, said snowsports have already generated £14m for the economy.
Skiing and snowboarding put more than £29m into the Scottish economy in the winter of 2012-13 - one of the best seasons in years.
Heather Negus, of Ski-Scotland, said: "In spite of closures due to storm conditions last week, the figures from the five mountain ski areas up until 22 February are still well ahead of the same point last year.
"Not only are we showing a 12% increase on last year, we're currently also half a percent ahead of 2012-13 which was one of the best seasons in recent years.
"That may not sound a lot, but that season brought us a lot of calm weather as well as good snow, with relatively few days lost to storm conditions."
The mountain resorts are Nevis Range near Fort William; Glencoe Mountain ski centre between Tyndrum and Ballachulish; CairnGorm Mountain near Aviemore; Glenshee between Blairgowrie and Braemar, and The Lecht between Strathdon and Tomintoul.
Peter Herring will take over from Karen Fisher at Sherwood Forest Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust on 19 November.
Last month, a report by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) found a number of "serious problems" which were "extremely concerning".
Chairman Sean Lyons said the trust now had the right person in place.
Mr Lyons said: "It's no secret that the best performing trusts have consistent and strong leadership.
"The chief executive position is an exceptionally challenging role in difficult circumstances, and sourcing right and credible leaders is a challenge for any NHS organisation.
"We believe we have found an exceptional interim CEO in Peter Herring."
Mr Lyons added that the CQC report was "shocking and a wake-up call for everybody", but said it was now about finding the "best in class" to deal with the issues and help move things forward.
The trust, which runs Kings Mill Hospital, Newark Hospital and Mansfield Community Hospital, was placed in special measures two years ago because of concerns about death rates and standards of care.
The chief executive brought in at the time - Paul O'Connor - left in April to pursue "alternative career options".
At the time of Mr O'Connor's appointment, the then interim trust chairman Chris Mellor said: "We need an experienced, permanent CEO who can provide the continuity of leadership and direction that, until recently, has been sadly lacking."
Josh Scott-Hill, 11, has been growing his hair for 18 months after seeing a friend lose hers during chemotherapy.
He said he had been "teased and mistaken for a girl".
Josh will give his hair to Little Princess Trust which makes wigs for children, and has also raised more than £1,000 for Maggie's Cancer in Swansea.
"During the time I have been growing my hair I have been teased and mistaken for a girl so many times I've lost count," he said.
"There was only one time I got really upset, but luckily my friends are very supportive as are my family."
His mother Sam Scott said she was very proud of her son, who will have his hair cut on 15 July.
"He is looking forward to it - but I love it long now so it will be a sad day for me but I'm sure he could grow it back," she said.
"I think he would do it again, I'm so proud of him."
Ms Scott added Josh was inspired after seeing a friend of hers after chemotherapy.
"My friend has had cancer and she lost her hair and you know kids, she was wearing a cap but they were asking 'where have your eyebrows gone?'
"When we walked away Josh said 'mammy I want to grow my hair for people less fortunate' and I thought 'oh right, OK then' but he has stuck with it.
"He gets mistaken for a girl all the time, he does have quite a pretty face, and he has to tell people 'yes, I am a boy', a lot of people are quite shocked he wanted to do this.
"But he has got used to all that now, if anything it just made him more determined than ever." | Goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski believes Swansea City are moving in the right direction despite defeat at Manchester City.

The report gives details of a study into the potential for seals coming into contact with the renewable energy devices in the Pentland Firth.
The research suggests collisions could happen, but were not likely to be fatal to grey seals, a large seal species.
Smaller harbour seals might be "less robust", the report noted.
The report and analysis was commissioned by Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH).
The study examined the movements of tagged seals in the Pentland Firth, a narrow stretch of sea separating mainland Scotland and the Orkney Islands.
Scientists based their research on a hypothetical array of up to 86 tidal turbines.
In their report, the researchers said there was potential for seals to collide with turbines, adding that larger grey seals were unlikely to be fatally injured.
But they also pointed out that seals should be able to detect turbines "both visually and acoustically and are also likely to be able to modify their behaviour to avoid collisions".
The scientists said this avoidance behaviour required additional research. | The ability of seals to avoid collisions with tidal turbines has still to be properly understood, a new report has suggested. | 36,443,501 | 238 | 32 | false |
The authors say that consumer demand in Europe and the US for beef, leather and timber is driving these losses.
The vast majority of this illegal deforestation for commercial agriculture took place in Brazil and Indonesia.
The authors say the practice is spreading rapidly in Asia and Africa.
The research has been carried out by Forest Trends, a US based, non-governmental organisation that includes environmentalists, industry and the financial sector.
Their report focuses on the question of illegality. While the cutting down of tropical forests has been an issue of global concern for several decades, knowing what's legal and illegal has been much more difficult to ascertain.
This new study argues that in the first 12 years of this century, 49% of tropical deforestation was due to illegal conversion for commercial agriculture.
The authors say consumer demand in the EU and elsewhere for agricultural commodities is the main driver for these clearances that have seen more than 200,000 sq km of forest laid bare.
The report values this trade in commodities including timber, leather, beef, soy and palm oil at $61bn a year.
"I think it will come as a shock to a lot of people, even to people who work on deforestation," lead author Sam Lawson told BBC News.
"People are often blind to the illegalities or don't see them for what they are in terms of the scale."
Much of these forest clearances are illegal, but governments don't have the capacity to enforce their own law. Licences and permits to cut the trees are often acquired through corruption.
This can have significant, sometimes deadly implications for the indigenous communities that live in these forests.
In recent days in Peru, four indigenous campaigners were murdered for their opposition to illegal land clearances.
In Brazil, where large amounts of this type of deforestation have taken place, the authorities are making strenuous efforts to tackle the problem.
One reason they have had success is they have started to hit the corporations involved, in their pockets - blocking access to credit for example, for companies involved in illegal clearing.
The authors believe that consumer countries like the European Union could be doing much more to tackle the problem.
"At the moment EU is giving large amounts of money to these tropical countries to reduce deforestation while at the same time it is shooting itself in the foot by importing all these dodgy products from illegal clearances," said Sam Lawson.
"It needs to close that vicious circle, it needs to stop importing these products as a first step."
The research team believe that the example of tropical timber could be a role model for tackling beef, leather and palm oil from illegal sources.
Back in the 1980s, there were attempts to ban these imports but these floundered. There were also certification schemes that met a similar fate.
Ultimately, according to the researchers, countries realised that the only thing that would work were strong regulations and not voluntary actions.
"In the EU we now have laws saying that companies have to do due diligence on their timber to make sure it was legally produced," said Sam Lawson.
"What is needed is equivalent legislation regarding these commodities including palm oil, soy and beef."
The biggest concern right now for campaigners is the spread of illegal deforestation to new countries in Latin America, Africa and Asia.
They point to Papua New Guinea where millions of hectares of forest have been licensed for deforestation in recent years. A parliamentary inquiry found that 90% of these licences were issued by corrupt or fraudulent means.
All these land clearances are making a significant contribution to global warming.
The report estimates that in the period 2000-2012, carbon dioxide equivalent to a quarter of the EU's annual total was emitted every year.
Developed countries have embarked on an ambitious programme to pay developing nations to stop cutting down the trees. But Sam Lawson thinks this is doomed to failure.
"It is pointless paying a government to change its policies when these governments are incapable of implementing and enforcing their policies in the first place."

The tycoon told the BBC he would probably join a club for party donors called the Leader's Group.
This club requires an annual membership fee of £50,000.
Lord Ashcroft - also a former party treasurer - donated millions of pounds to the Conservatives, often targeted at marginal seats, but fell out with ex-prime minister David Cameron in 2010.
Speaking to BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg, the peer praised Mr Cameron's replacement, Theresa May, for her speech on Brexit to the Conservative conference on Sunday.
Asked whether he would be prepared to donate again, he said: "I think, probably, I might join the Leader's Group again but that's a small sum compared to historically what I have given to the party."
The Leader's Group is described as the Conservative Party's "premier supporter group".
Members are invited to join the prime minister and other senior figures at dinners, drinks receptions and other events, in exchange for their annual £50,000 donation.
Lord Ashcroft, who was ranked 74 in the 2015 Sunday Times Rich List, said he hoped that under Mrs May the party would have "significantly broadened" its funding base so it was not dependent on individuals giving "seven-figure sums".
Asked whether he would be prepared to donate smaller sums, he replied: "Under the appropriate circumstances and the direction in which it's heading, it's very nice to be back."
Lord Ashcroft was deputy chairman of the Conservative Party during Mr Cameron's period as Leader of the Opposition.
In July 2010, he gave up his non-domiciled tax status after a law was passed requiring peers and MPs to be tax resident and domiciled in order to remain in Parliament.
His tax status had long been criticised by his opponents.
When he co-authored a book on Mr Cameron last year, he admitted to having personal "beef" with the prime minister after not being offered a major job in the coalition government following the 2010 general election.
He has been credited with helping to rescue the party's finances in the past, once stepping in to personally guarantee its overdraft when it was reportedly £3m in the red.
The Grade II-listed London Road Fire Station will be refurbished and expanded in the redevelopment.
A boutique hotel and spa, restaurants, bars, flats, and offices are included in the plans, while a new glass prism will feature in a central courtyard.
Developers Allied London, who bought the building in 2015, hope to start work later in the year.
A spokesman said the landmark would be "sensitively refurbished and expanded" in order to "preserve its unique character".
A new wing will be built for the hotel and the old firemen's flats will be developed if planning permission is granted.
London Road Fire Station, opposite Piccadilly Station, was built between 1904 and 1906, and served as the headquarters for Manchester's fire brigade in the first half of the 20th Century, before closing in the mid-1980s.
It was bought by Britannia Hotels in 1985, which ran an office there until about 2001, when it was placed on English Heritage's At Risk register.
The site was then sold to Allied London, which is also working on another project to convert the Old Granada Studios site into a 210-room hotel with a rooftop restaurant and apartments.
The existing studios would be kept in order to provide space for performances and artists.
Plans for that project have not yet been submitted to Manchester City Council.
The successful candidate will be required on one day per month to taste up to 40 craft beers at the Walled City Brewery in Londonderry.
"A good palate and an understanding of the brewing process" were essential criteria for the unpaid position, said James Huey from the brewery.
He said the advertisement in Friday's Derry Journal had piqued interest.
The brewery had already received several applications for the post, said Mr Huey.
The job advert promises transport to and from work is provided; overtime could well be a bonus.
"Training will be provided but ideally we are looking for an understanding of the nature of craft beers, for someone who knows a lot about flavours," said Mr Huey.
While beer testing might not be to your taste, there are plenty of unorthodox roles for those looking for an alternative to a nine-to-five.

Under the blistering Bahraini sun archaeologist Salman Al Mahari and his team are excavating a section on the western side of the Al-Khamis mosque site.
With its twin minarets the mosque used to act as a landmark for ships at sea guiding them to land in the 14th century.
But today, excavating the mosque has a far more important function as Islamic archaeology takes on the extremists at their own game.
At a recent conference in Manama, the capital of Bahrain, archaeologists working in over 14 Islamic countries around the world participated in a first of its kind conference.
Islamic Archaeology in Global Perspective brought together some of the most distinguished scholars working in the field of Islamic archaeology to share first hand their recent practical experience in countries torn apart by war, and to investigate the various influences on the science of archaeology.
New Zealander, Alan Walmsley, Professor of Islamic Archaeology and Art at the University of Copenhagen says his investigations aim to disseminate a fuller account of social, cultural, and economic developments in Arab and Islamic history. "I interrogate faded and misinformed historical narratives," he explains.
He begins by unpicking past Western interest in Bilad Al-Sham, an historic region of the Middle East known as Greater Syria.
"Islamic discoveries were incidental to the objective of archaeological interest in Greater Syria," he says."The focus of digs were on the Biblical, Hellenistic and Classical past. These earlier periods took precedence in research."
Animosity between Islam and the West compounded the lack of interest in Muslim remains according to Alastair Northedge, professor at the Universites de Paris 1.
He spoke in the context of his recent trip to Iraq, about the West's overwhelming concerns with their own past. "There is quite a good example in Iraq," he says. "Babylon seems to belong to the West."
Corisande Fenwick, a lecturer in Archaeology of the Mediterranean at University College London (UCL) took time to describe painstaking research into food remains indicating when pork was no longer consumed and so revealing the pace at which Islam was established across the Maghreb region.
She attributes the Western assessment of archaeological finds prior to the mid-1950s to a colonial interpretation.
"If you go back before independence, archaeology is all driven by colonial scholars," she says.
"They were attracted by the exotic nature of their finds. That reinforced the idea that the Islamic world was somehow different and needed to be controlled by colonial powers," she adds.
But it is not just a Western agenda that has shaped excavations in the Muslim world. Alastair Northedge also notes that Muslims themselves have not always been concerned with protecting the material heritage of the great spiritual sanctuaries.
"It is not just Mecca and Medina, but also Shia shrines in Najaf and Karbala in Iraq" he says.
"There seems to be a preference for building something new rather than conserving the old because the emphasis is on the spiritual nature of these places not their materiality."
But a wider vision is coming and the rise in the number of excavations throughout the Gulf area attests to a burgeoning interest in the material past. St John Simpson, archaeologist and senior curator at the British Museum, says that a revival of interest in Islamic archaeology is long overdue.
"It's part and parcel of a search for Muslim cultural identity," he explains. It is also an opportunity to redress earlier misconceptions.
"Since the 19th century and continuing though much of the 20th century commercial excavations led by dealers have in parts of the world flooded the market with objects which were traditionally celebrated by art historians," Dr Simpson says. "They celebrated the beauty of those pieces and therefore reconstructed material cultures on the basis of those objects."
This world of appreciation driven by beauty is the natural perspective of art historians who rate aesthetics over function. "So metal ware, certain types of glass and glazed ceramics are elevated slightly disproportionately to their real functional value in the past.
"Metal ware, glass and glazed ceramics are more highly rated than pottery, brass or plain glass and unfortunately that gives a rather skewed impression," he says.
This new phase is also putting the spotlight on less well known aspects of the Muslim world. Saudi Arabian archaeologist Saad bin Abdulaziz Al Rashid says the Saudi Authority for Tourism and Heritage is in the process of broadening its scope beyond the Holy Places.
"Dams, wells, springs, fortresses along pilgrim tourist routes are all key to the understanding of the spread of Islam," he says.
"We are maintaining the Islamic cultural identity while ensuring their future sustainability," he asserts.
"These sites are significant not only to Muslims at large, but also to non-Muslim scholars and as part of the archaeological work we are supporting the transference and dissemination of the facts surrounding Islamic history."
Saad in Abdulaziz Al Rashid goes on to cite the rich remains of the Nabataean cities of Al Ula and Mada'n Saleh, the furthest western outpost of the civilisation centred at Petra in Jordan. "These first century tombs are now a tourist attraction." he states.
Meanwhile Alastair Northedge notes that the contemporary, more comprehensive vision of Islam counterbalances the extremist fixation with the time of the Prophet.
"All that millennium and a half of great Islamic civilisation, the golden age, has tended to disappear," he comments. "That means forgetting discoveries in philosophy, science that can tell us so much."
Now educated mainstream Muslims are seeking an intelligent tolerant Islam they can relate to and which is absent from Islamic State (IS) discourse.
Today's archaeologist may cross modern political frontiers shattering paradigms created within borders. A globalised archaeology sees expert working collaboratively in diverse countries across the Muslim world.
St John Simpson says that the British Museum is already working with Iraqi archaeologists to build capacity for a whole new generation.
"For a post-Daesh world where we can dig across Iraq safely, training schemes in southern and northern Iraq are helping prepare archaeologists."
Some Iraqi trainees are currently working in Mosul at a time of conflict making assessments of the archaeology and the damage to cultural property with a view that when peace is restored there can be reconstruction.
Nor far away from the conference taking place in Bahrain's National Theatre, Salman al-Mahari is looking at some newly unearthed tombstones.
"These are the same type of stones found in Shiraz, in south-central, Iran," he confirms. "They reflect the cultural and economic exchange between these two places dating from the 11th centuries and perhaps even earlier."
As well as introducing the notion of globalism to modern Islamic archaeology, the conference holds out the prospect of an objective assessment of current and previous findings that will offer a more balanced and revisionist account of the social history of Islam.
The drawing, by Belgian cartoonist Herge, is from his book The Blue Lotus, set in Shanghai.
French auction house Artcurial organised the auction.
They said the work was the only original from the book still in private hands, and had been bought by an Asian collector.
"The Blue Lotus is considered by specialists as the masterpiece album of Herge," said Eric Leroy, Artcurial's expert in comics.
"It was also unusual to talk about China in the thirties in Europe," he added.
The auction house also facilitated the record-breaking sale of a hand-drawn Tintin In America cover for 2.65 million euros (about $3m) including fees - 1.3m euros without - in Paris in May.
Scott hit a late equaliser in their qualifier as England came back to draw 1-1 with Belgium, who led from keeper Karen Bardsley's error.
Second-placed England play Bosnia and Herzegovina in Zenica on Tuesday, when Group 7 leaders Belgium play Estonia.
"We know we have to get that win," said 29-year-old Scott.
Asked how confident England are of topping the group she added: "Always confident. I'm always confident when I meet up with England.
"If you look at the players we had on the bench against Belgium it's frightening. I look to my left, I look to my right, and I'm around really good players.

Michelle O'Neill also insisted an Irish Language Act would be part of the post-election negotiations.
However, she refused to say if it would be a deal breaker for her party.
Launching Sinn Féin's manifesto in Armagh, she said she was not in the business of setting "red lines" ahead of negotiations.
But she did defend the use of the petition of concern, which DUP leader Arlene Foster has suggested should be scrapped.
If a petition of concern is presented to the assembly speaker, any motion or amendment will need cross-community support.
In such cases, a vote on proposed legislation will only pass if supported by a weighted majority (60%) of members voting, including at least 40% of each of the nationalist and unionist designations present and voting.
Effectively this means that, provided enough MLAs from a particular community agree, that community can exercise a veto over the assembly's decisions.
A valid petition requires the signatures of 30 MLAs.
"Clearly years of unionist misrule, and even in the last number of weeks the attempt to denigrate rights of individuals, has shown that we need to have mechanisms in place that protect peoples' rights," she said.
"The petition of concern needs to be used in the manner it was intended, which is to protect minority rights.
"It is others who have abused that position and have used it to deny people rights. That is not acceptable."
Mrs O'Neill also accused the DUP of using the issue as a smokescreen.
"I think the DUP want to talk about everything but scandal, corruption and RHI," she said.
The 12-page manifesto entitled Equality Respect Integrity - includes the party's ten-point plan set out in the last assembly election in May to deal with problems in health, education, housing and welfare.
But it also contains a list of 25 priorities which are likely to form the template for Sinn Féin's post-election negotiation.
They include:
Asked about the DUP's rejection of an Irish Language Act, Mrs O'Neill said: "Look elsewhere, look at Scotland and Wales, they still have a health service and an education service alongside a language act. So we will not be detracted.
"We know what the DUP is attempting to do, to bring away from the fact this election is about arrogance, disrespect and contempt for the public."
Asked if the Irish language act would be a deal breaker in the post-election talks, she said: " I wont be drawn on a red line."
Mrs O'Neil also repeated the party's opposition to Mrs Foster returning as first minister before the RHI public inquiry concludes.
"While there is a cloud over Arlene Foster in relation to the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scandal we will not be supporting her position of first minister or deputy first minister in an executive office," Mrs O'Neill said.
"We have to have a full investigation. We have public concern and outrage and demands for answers. The RHI scheme has been all of the DUP's making."
Evans' wedding date was set for next week more than a year ago when the lock was out of the Wales reckoning following a series of injuries.
He said: "If everything does go well for the team in the first Test, and I hope it does, then I can fully understand the situation.
Saturday, 2 June: Wales v Barbarians (Millennium Stadium, 14:00 BST)
Saturday, 9 June: Australia v Wales (Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane; 11:00 BST)
Tuesday, 12 June: Brumbies v Wales (Canberra Stadium, Canberra; 10:30 BST)
Saturday, 16 June: Australia v Wales (Etihad Stadium, Melbourne; 11:00 BST)
Saturday, 23 June: Australia v Wales (Aussie Stadium, Sydney; 0600 BST)
"I will have to take it on the chin."
Evans will delay his honeymoon to join the Wales squad down under and will be in contention for the second Test in Melbourne on 16 June.
Fellow Osprey Alun Wyn Jones could also miss the first Test as he attends his sister's wedding ahead of Wales' clash against the Barbarians in Cardiff on Saturday.
Jones and Evans' wedding commitments mean they are likely to line up against the Baa-Baas, with Bradley Davies expected to return alongside Luke Charteris to take on the Wallabies.
After a promising start, Evans' career was hit by serious knee and shoulder injuries that stymied his progress.

But he fought back to fitness and form ahead of the Six Nations in which he played an impressive part in Wales' Grand Slam.
He added: "At the time we chose the wedding date, I was just getting back into it with the Ospreys after injury.
"A lot of things have changed from January onwards, really, which have been really positive in my rugby career.
"It has all been a bit of a whirlwind. If you had said to me at the start of this season how it would end, I would have laughed at you.
"I've had a bit of luck, which everyone needs, and things have progressed really well. It has been a little overwhelming, really.
"I have proved to myself that if I get the game-time under my belt then I can keep on progressing.
"I can accept that it could be tough to get back in the team.
"Once you get your chance, you have got to take it, and if I am lucky enough to get another chance then the responsibility falls on my shoulders."

Two Russian cosmonauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) took a spacewalk to clean a porthole window, 250 miles above the Earth's surface.
The window had gathered years of dirt left by the exhaust fumes of visiting spaceships.
As well as giving the porthole a clean, the cosmonauts also installed new equipment and carried out maintenance outside the station,
It took them six hours to complete the job.
It was the fourth spacewalk on the ISS this year, and the tenth one for station commander, Gennady Padalka, who holds the record for the most time any person has spent in space.
Last week Chautala and 54 others were convicted of forging documents to hire 3,206 teachers between 1999 and 2000.
Prosecutors said well-qualified candidates were rejected in favour of those who offered bribes for jobs.
It is estimated that the scam was worth about 1.5bn rupees ($28m; £18m).
Chautala is the leader of the Indian National Lok Dal party and the son of former deputy prime minister Devi Lal.
His supporters and police clashed outside the court complex on Tuesday. Police used batons and fired teargas shells to control thousands of protesters who gathered there.
The scandal only came to light in 2008 when the federal Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) filed charges against Chautala and the others.
The Panthers will play six games in 11 days between 23 December and 2 January, including back-to-back games against arch-rivals Sheffield Steelers.
Neilson told BBC Radio Nottingham: "I hope (new signing) Jason Williams will be in and David Clarke will be fit.
"I am hopeful Geoff Waugh and Jeff Dimmen are close, they look close."
Panthers beat Elite League leaders Cardiff Devils 5-2 at the National Ice Centre on Sunday, following a 7-4 defeat at Belfast Giants the previous night.
"Waugh has recently started skating and Dimmen will start skating this week," continued Neilson.
"When they come back, we turn into a different animal. We can then maybe rest guys, like (Alex) Nikiforuk and (Matt) Carter, who are playing injured at the moment.
"It all comes down to bodies. I am not making excuses, we are running on fumes."
The exact date of Williams' arrival is not yet known, and the club say that "the player has family commitments in North America but, with the visa now approved, the Panthers office will be working closely with the player with the hope of getting him to the UK as soon as possible".
Staff received the news this morning when they arrived at work.
BBC News website readers have been getting in touch with their reaction to today's announcement
We all turned up for work in Wimbledon this morning and waited an hour for our mail delivery to arrive before being read the announcement that there would not be one.
We will be paid until the end of the week, but will not be made redundant until the "consultation" is concluded.
So no money, no P45, nothing until we hear from them.
I've loved this job, all one year and nine months of it, but see little chance of it resuming. It's very disappointing.
This feels like limbo.
The news came as a complete surprise, I had no inkling whatsoever.
I am now 64. I got this job when I was 61 so this may be the end of the line in more ways than one, I will have to go back to the job centre to see what they say.
I got to know lots of people on my rounds.
I had a 30-year career before this in the directories business. This was a nice follow-on.
I was one of the first employees in Manchester. I have worked for them since 2013. I feel gutted and betrayed.
As of this morning I am not entirely sure what will happen. We had a meeting this morning where we were told we were laid off pending a consultation period.
No one knows what that means.
I usually get to work between 0600 and 0630 and by that time there is normally mail to be sorted.
It got to 0700 this morning when the team leader summoned us all and said she had some news and it wasn't good.
This is completely out of blue for the employees. We worked normally this past Saturday.
Grown men were crying this morning, it was heart-breaking.
TNT targeted unemployed people to go and work for them, and paid them the minimum wage. We were all on performance-related pay and the targets were difficult to meet.
It was a brilliant job, we loved it and it was hard to see how the business model could fail.
We will all have to go back on the dole now.
Nick Nairn, Hammersmith, London: I work as a delivery operative and cycle instructor at the Chiswick depot in West London.
I found out the news this morning when I arrived at work at 0715 and it's fair to say that I was in a state of shock. I didn't expect something like this to happen.
Despite all the criticism, Whistl is a fantastic company to work for and I would hate for something like this to be the end of it.
Sam, Manchester: Found out today that I'm out of a job. Union were not even informed by the company, I had to find out from the news as nobody bothered to let me know.
I work five days a week, and find out that I'm not employed out of the blue. Thanks Whistl!
Charley Newell, London: I've worked for these for nearly five years now, now they want to try and make me redundant?
I feel hard done by and I'm not having it.
Laurence Heyes, Manchester: I have worked for Whistl/TNT post since the very start. I cannot believe I've lost my job - we don't even know what's going to happen.
Julius Marstrand, Cheltenham: Despite cherry-picking some of the most lucrative parts of the postal service, including commercial bulk-mailing, leaving Royal Mail to maintain the universal delivery system, even Whistl appears to have been unable to survive in the increasingly fragmented and cut-throat postal system.
TNT was the delivery company that Rupert Murdoch employed to deliver his newspapers from "Fortress Wapping".
Having done its best to undermine both the print and communications workers unions and the public postal service, I have little sympathy for TNT's shareholders, only great sympathy for its underpaid employees.
Wendy Bishop, London: This is the best news I have heard for days. The deliverers can never be bothered to look at the addresses properly and virtually every day I have to re-post mail meant for the other flats.
Why should I trail up the stairs to do their job for them?
I suspect that not only have the deliverers not been given sufficient time to do the job properly, but also that a zero-hours contract doesn't exactly act as a motivator for staff to do a decent job! Are we surprised? Welcome to another five years of the same.
West Londoner, Hammersmith: While I feel bad for the people who will be put out of work, this is great news for the people whose post is delivered by TNT/Whistl.
In the two years I have been living in my flat I have never received a council tax, water or utility bill, my doctors/hospital appointment letters haven't turned up on time, and when I wrote to them to complain they sent the reply by Royal Mail. Their service is a joke I'm glad it's not expanding.
Hong Kong made 120-7 off their 20 overs in Dharamsala, with Ireland reaching 122-0 in reply off just 12.2 overs.
Captain William Porterfield thrashed 75 not out off 36 balls, with fellow opener Andrew Balbirnie unbeaten on 47.
Mark Chapman top-scored for Hong Kong with 64 not out, the only man to pass 20, while seamer Tim Murtagh was the pick of Ireland's bowlers with 2-21.
Max Sorensen, Boyd Rankin and Andrew McBrine took one wicket apiece for the Irish at the HPCA Stadium.
Earlier at the same venue, Zimbabwe suffered a humiliating seven-wicket defeat at the hands of local side Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association XI.
Ireland play Zimbabwe in their next warm-up game on Saturday, before beginning their World T20 campaign against Oman in Dharamsala on 9 March.
Two women were allegedly assaulted with an electrical stunning device during the incident at the Original Factory Shop on Monday.
James Stewart Irvine, 53, faces three counts of assault and robbery, and possession of a prohibited weapon.
Irvine, from Newtown St Boswells, appeared in private at Jedburgh Sheriff Court and made no plea.
He was remanded in custody by Sheriff Peter Paterson and is expected to appear at Selkirk Sheriff Court on 15 October.
A 36-year-old man has also been arrested and charged in connection with the same incident.
He is expected to appear in court at a later date.
Police Scotland said inquiries to trace a third man in connection with the incident are ongoing.
Ch Insp Andy McLean said: "Extensive inquiries were conducted by officers in an effort to trace the suspects as quickly as possible following what was a shocking and distressing incident for those involved.
"Thankfully, incidents like this are rare in the Borders and I want to thank the public for their continued support during our investigation."
The company said it had decided to invest more than £100m in improving and expanding its Govan and Scotstoun sites.
The move ends fears over the future of the Govan shipyard.
BAE had been considering a second option of a new £200m single-site manufacturing facility at Scotstoun.
This would have meant closing the Govan yard.
Last year the company lodged planning applications for both proposals but indicated that it preferred the single-site option.
The Govan yard is currently being used to build sections of the second of the Royal Navy's new aircraft carriers.
The new investment is to prepare for the Type 26 warship, being designed to replace the Royal Navy's frigates.
A BAE spokesman said: "Following an assessment of potential facilities options, we have decided to retain and invest in both of our sites in Glasgow.
"We will work closely with our trade unions as we prepare the detailed designs to improve and expand our manufacturing facilities, which will mark the most significant investment in the Glasgow shipyards in decades."
He added: "Together with investments in new technologies, cutting-edge processes and new ways of working, improved infrastructure will play a key role in transforming the way we design and build complex warships.
"This will enable us to create a modern, safe and inspiring workplace for our employees, whilst ensuring we deliver equipment to the highest quality at the lowest possible cost so we can compete effectively for future UK and international orders."
The union GMB Scotland, which represents shipbuilding workers, welcomed the news.
Senior organiser Jim Moohan said: "The two yards working together will make Clydeside attractive for potential new customers.
"It will also sustain job security with orders for the Type 26 ships for the Royal Navy coming on stream.
"I am of the view that it will enhance our chances of securing export opportunities that have been elusive."
Deputy First Minister John Swinney also welcomed the move, describing BAE as "a major player in the Scottish and UK defence industry".
He said: "BAE still has ambitions to seek export opportunities as well as progressing with MoD orders and Scottish Enterprise will continue to work closely with the company to offer support."
In a joint statement, Glasgow SNP MPs Chris Stephens and Carol Monaghan said: "This decision by BAE is a testament to the abilities of the highly skilled workforces and it is important that we recognise the world-leading expertise that we have here on the Clyde.
"We look forward to working closely with BAE in the future."
Scottish Conservative West of Scotland MSP Annabel Goldie described the move as "a tremendous statement of confidence" in the United Kingdom's defence capacity.
She added: "It is also a very welcome statement of confidence by BAE in the skills of shipyard workers in Scotland."
Glasgow City Council leader Gordon Matheson said: "The council's priority is to support BAE Systems in keeping these high quality shipbuilding jobs on the Clyde.
"The investment in the Glasgow yards is testament to the professionalism and commitment of the workforce, and ensures the city will keep on producing the world's most advanced ships."
The boy, who is understood to have fallen from a yacht in Split, was from Moycullen in County Galway, and was a student at NUI Galway.
He was among a group of 40 young people who had been attending a music festival and the group was due home this week.
The Department of Foreign Affairs is providing consular assistance and the Irish Embassy in Zagreb is liaising with the family of the boy.
The US is seeking to extradite Dotcom, and three of his colleagues, for alleged copyright infringement, racketeering and money laundering.
In 2012 authorities raided German-born Dotcom's Auckland home and shut down his site Megaupload.
The site once had million of users storing files and downloading movies and songs.
US authorities say Dotcom and the other executives cost film studios and record companies more than $500m (£322m) and generated $175m by allowing users to store and share copyright material.
In order to trigger an extradition treaty between the US and New Zealand, the prosecution must prove that a crime was committed in both countries.
The hearing, to which Dotcom brought his own chair for ergonomic reasons, is expected to last weeks.
"This case is not just about me. This case is about how much control we allow US corporations and the US government to have over the Internet," he said on Twitter before proceedings began.
The New Glenn, as it will be called, is designed to launch satellites and people from Cape Canaveral in Florida, the entrepreneur says.
The vehicle will come in two configurations, with the biggest standing more than 95m (313ft) tall.
Mr Bezos aims for a first launch before the end of the decade.
Blue Origin has shown impressive progress recently on its much smaller, sub orbital-rocket and capsule system known as New Shepard.
This has flown five times over the Texas desert, with the booster returning to Earth safely on the last four occasions.
But Mr Bezos has always spoken of his desire to build a much more capable vehicle - and the New Glenn is it.
Named after the first American to orbit the planet - John Glenn - the 7m-wide (23ft) rocket will be powered at its base by seven engines burning liquid methane and liquid oxygen.
This is envisaged to produce a thrust of 17.1 megaNewtons (3.85 million pounds force) at lift-off. By way of comparison, Europe's Ariane 5 rocket produces 13 megaNewtons from its main liquid-fuelled core-stage engine and two sold-fuelled solid motors.
As with the New Shepard booster, the New Glenn's main stage would come back to Earth to make a controlled landing after its mission.
The New Glenn's first stage would be topped with a second stage, and, if needed, by a third stage.
The first additional segment would be powered by a single methane engine. The second additional segment (third stage) would use one engine burning liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen - the same engine as powers the New Shepard now.
The full configuration would be required to send payloads beyond low-Earth orbit.
A year ago Mr Bezos announced that he was leasing the historic Launch Complex 36 at Cape Canaveral, which was used by the rockets that despatched some of the first inter-planetary probes. Manufacturing facilities were also to be set up in the area.
In a statement on Monday, the Amazon boss said: "Our vision is millions of people living and working in space, and New Glenn is a very important step."
And then, tantalisingly, he added: "It won't be the last of course. Up next on our drawing board: New Armstrong. But that's a story for the future."
The entrepreneur is gradually ramping up his space activities.
The same methane engine, the BE-4, to be used on the New Glenn is currently in competition to power another rocket operated by the Boeing and Lockheed Martin joint venture - United Launch Alliance.
This rocket, to be called the Vulcan, would be the successor to the vehicles that are presently used by Nasa and the US Air Force to launch most of America's science and national security missions.
Blue Origin continues work on its New Shepard system, which is expected to be used in due course for tourist flights and for micro-gravity experiments.
The next launch is scheduled in a few weeks, when an emergency abort will be practised.
This procedure will see the capsule separated from its booster early in the flight to simulate a problem.
It is the type of test engineers carry out to prove a spacecraft is safe to carry people.

But what about when they're off the pitch? Leah gives you a behind the scenes tour of the stadium, Stade de Lyon.
She heads into the dressing rooms, the ice baths and sees how the pitch is made perfect ready for the match.
The Babur-3 missile, which has a range of 450km (280 miles), could carry a nuclear warhead, a spokesman confirmed to the AFP news agency.
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said the test showed Pakistan's technological progress and self-reliance.
However, analysts say the development could further heighten tensions with neighbouring India.
The two countries have been involved in three wars since independence from Britain in 1947, and have been developing missiles since they both demonstrated their nuclear capabilities in 1998.
India had already successfully test-fired a nuclear-capable, submarine-launched missile in 2008 and tested a submarine-launched cruise missile in 2013.
India is yet to make a statement about Pakistan's successful test, which was undertaken at an undisclosed location in the Indian Ocean.
The firm came under fire following a tweet urging people to message the RMT.
Commuters criticised the company but the union said staff were being "attacked and assaulted" as a result of the campaign.
In a leaked email seen by the BBC, Southern said the request had caused "extremely negative sentiment".
Its subject line read: "***URGENT*** Southern RMT Strike Poster - Cancel print job and remove from display".
The memo added: "Due to extremely negative public sentiment around the brand it has been decided to cancel this poster campaign."
It instructed staff to "ensure all copies of the posters are removed from display and destroyed immediately".
The RMT has said it believed the advert amounted to "targeted harassment".
In a letter to Southern bosses, general secretary Mick Cash said operator Govia Thameslink Rail (GTR) was breaching its duty of care to staff.
"GTR has fed the passengers and public a line that railway staff working for GTR are to blame for the sorry mess that is Southern Rail.
"RMT hold you and your company wholly responsible for violent and threatening situations that arise for your employees whilst at work, as a result of the badly thought out campaign.
"Any harm will be on your hands."
Southern said press adverts would continue but posters at stations would be taken down.
The operator said: "Feelings were running high after day one of the campaign and we decided, having taken on board comments from some passengers, not to display the posters at stations.
"We make no apologies for this campaign - our aim was to get the debate going."
Months of industrial action by the RMT and high levels of staff sickness have hit Southern's services, which link London with Surrey, Sussex, Kent and Hampshire.
RMT members have voted to accept a deal with ScotRail to settle a dispute over the role of guards on trains.
The union said it hoped the deal would provide a model for resolving the row with Southern.
Many have viewed Southern's ad campaign attacking the RMT as a huge, bizarre PR gaffe.
In the leaked email, the firm admits the posters have caused "extremely negative public sentiment around the brand".
But it seems inconceivable Southern wouldn't have been aware of the response they'd get. Their Twitter feeds are often full of criticism.
And the company's bullish response - that they make no apologies for the campaign - makes you think this is really about reinforcing their message.
Yet because it is mainly invisible and the impacts on the body can take decades to appear, it has largely escaped political action.
While it is now going up the political agenda driven by the mayor of London, on Monday there was more sobering news.
The London sites that monitor the harmful Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) show many areas still breach pollution limits compared to last year.
Some monitoring stations have improved slightly like the Marylebone Road and Walbrook Wharf in the City, but in total I counted 32 monitoring stations breaching legal NO2 levels including the rather important one next to Heathrow airport in West Drayton.
In some areas, levels of NO2 are actually getting worse.
In Knightsbridge, the readings have increased from 71ug/m3 in 2015 to 74ug/m3 to 2016.
9,400
Premature deaths a year in London linked to air pollution
500,000 aged under 19 who live in areas that breach EU limits
443 schools that have unsafe pollution levels
86 of these are secondary
2025 year London is expected to meet EU limits
These figures, highlighted by the campaigners Clean for London, show just how hard tackling pollution is.
The figures show many of London's monitoring stations continue to breach limits.
For all the efforts so far by previous administrations - cleaner buses, cycling, green walls, dust suppressants - there is still a long, long way to go.
Campaigners say the only solution is to ban diesel.
What is also interesting is the frank admission from the mayor that he cannot clean up London's air on his own.
The previous administration under Boris Johnson had also said local authorities could only do so much.
Current mayor Sadiq Khan wants a national diesel scrappage scheme and changes to the Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) for diesels so that it is much less attractive to drive a diesel.
He also wants further devolved powers to be able to set the VED himself, so it would mean he could charge the more polluting vehicles more.
Some have interpreted this as political and the mayor showing he is way ahead of the government in dealing with bad air. The Evening Standard says this underlines his national ambitions.
On the other hand, it implies he knows proposals for a toxicity charge on older polluting cars in central London and an ultra-low emission zone (ULEZ) - while radical - will not be enough on their own.
The mayor's plans to improve air quality, make this clear: "It is recognised that action through the mayor's measures alone is not sufficient to achieve compliance with legal limits.
"This is partly down to the fact that London's air quality is affected by emissions from elsewhere, but also because the mayor has limited powers to influence significant emissions sources such as airports and industry."
In other words, the mayor's plan will not work on its own and it needs all levels of government to act.
The brutal reality is the mayor's powers are not strong enough to tackle pollution on their own.
Sources say the review is being conducted by ex-Ferrari team principal Stefano Domenicali, who was hired by VW's Audi brand earlier this year.
Its interest is being piqued by the global marketing success achieved by rivals and new F1 champions Mercedes.
But any entry would depend on management changes at VW or F1.
Ferdinand Piech, the head of the supervisory board of the VW Group, and F1 commercial boss Bernie Ecclestone have long had a difficult relationship.
At least one of them would need to leave their current position before a VW Group brand could enter F1.
VW was on the working group of car manufacturers that decided on the new turbo hybrid engine rules introduced into F1 this season, but decided against entering at that time - and, publicly, has not changed its stance since.
But sources say that some senior board members now believe F1 would be a more effective global promotional tool than its existing motorsport programmes.
Among the Volkswagen Audi Group's brands, as well as VW and Audi, are Porsche, Lamborghini, Bugatti, Bentley, Skoda and Seat.
VAG currently has three main motorsport programmes - with Audi and Porsche in the World Endurance Championship, Audi in the German Touring Car Championship (DTM) and Volkswagen in the World Rally Championship.
The global advertising value of Mercedes' television appearances during its F1 campaign in 2014 was $2.8bn (£1.8bn).
Experts believe the equivalent value for VAG of their sportscar and touring car programmes was about $30m (£19m).
Mercedes spent a net 130m euros (£103m) on F1, once external sponsorship and prize money is taken into account. VAG spent about 320m euros (£254m) on DTM and sportscars.
Some reports have linked a potential VAG return with the Austrian Red Bull team - Piech has a close relationship with Red Bull owner Dietrich Mateschitz.
But sources say that VAG turned down an approach from Red Bull some years ago and that if it did enter F1 it would be with its own team based in Germany.
Asked for a comment, a spokesman did not deny the information but pointed to an interview with the chairman of the VW board of management Martin Winterkorn in the German newspaper Bild Am Sonntag last month, in which he suggested the group was happy with its existing commitments.
Winterkorn said: "Our brands in motorsport are as successful as ever, whether in the DTM with Audi or Le Mans with Audi and Porsche, or in the World Rally Championship with Volkswagen. We feel we have really good position."
Audi chairman Rupert Stadler said in an interview with another German newspaper, Heilbronner Stimmer, that Domenicali had expressed a desire not to work in motorsport and that he was working in "organisation and new business fields in the areas of service and mobility".
Naomi Long was speaking at the launch of the party's manifesto, ahead of the 7 May general election.
The document, Step Forward, Not Back emphasises policies aimed at promoting community relations.
Ms Long said representation for the party at Westminster would help it achieve its vision of a shared future.
She said the party would build on her achievements as an MP.
"In the next parliament, Alliance will continue our fight to provide the best future we can for everyone in Northern Ireland, ensuring their voice is heard and respected," she said.
The party said that a divided society cost public services an estimated £1bn per year and reducing it is part of their plans on public finance.
Alliance said they "accept the principle" that the UK's deficit should be reduced, but it should not be done solely by cuts to services.
They said a form of "progressive revenue-raising" should be considered by the Stormont Executive.
This would include proposals for a water charge, accompanied by a reduction in rates.
Party leader David Ford said the party was fielding 18 candidates in the general election to give everybody in Northern Ireland "the opportunity to vote for an Alliance candidate because we believe we have a unique vision and unique values".
Asked what the party would do in the event of a hung parliament, Ms Long said values would influence any decisions.
Main pledges
Policy guide: Where the parties stand
"I sat in the opposition benches, but I voted with the government when I felt that they were following policies that provided inclusion and progress and I voted with the opposition when I felt that they were not," she said.
"I think that's how Alliance should approach any situation in the case of a hung parliament."
Alliance's other policies include:
Compiled by Verizon, the report looks at analyses of almost 80,000 security incidents that hit thousands of companies in 2014.
It found that, in many companies, about 25% of those who received a phishing email were likely to open it.
"Training your employees is a critical element of combating this threat," said Bob Rudis, lead author on the report.
Tricking people into opening a booby-trapped message let attackers grab login credentials that could be used to trespass on a network and steal data, the report said.
"They do not have to use complex software exploits, because often they can get hold of legitimate credentials," Mr Rudis said.
Analysis of data breaches found that, in many cases, it had taken less than two minutes for freshly sent phishing emails to catch their first victim. And, said Mr Rudis, half of the victims had clicked on the message within the first hour of it being sent.
Although attackers racked up victims quickly, it took companies far longer to notice they had been compromised, Mr Rudis said.
The report also found companies could take straight-forward steps to defend themselves against well-crafted phishing emails designed to make people open them and their attachments.
Teaching staff to spot bogus messages could reduce the proportion of victims to sent emails from one in four to one in 20, he said.
Showing workers the tell-tale signs of a phishing email could also turn them into another line of defence that could catch messages missed by automatic detection systems.
"They should be treating employees as tools in the fight rather than as lambs to the slaughter," Mr Rudis said.
After phishing, some cyber-thieves relied on companies running un-patched software that was vulnerable to old and well-known exploits, he said.
More than 99% of the vulnerabilities exploited in data breaches had been known about for more than a year, Mr Rudis said. And some had been around for a decade.
"There are some vulnerabilities that just linger out there," he said.
A good patching regime would help companies protect themselves against most of the vulnerabilities cyber-thieves abuse, Mr Rudis added.

The Republic face Switzerland and Slovakia in home friendlies over Easter with places still up for grabs ahead of the Euro 2016 finals in France.
Manager O'Neill said that with only one more friendly to play against Holland in May, time is running out for some of the fringe players to impress.
"I want to see a couple of the lads, the Euros are just around the corner."
O'Neill's side play Switzerland at the Aviva Stadium on Friday followed by Slovakia at home on Tuesday 29 March.
Although another friendly could be squeezed into the schedule, the Holland friendly on 27 May could be the last opportunity for latecomers to make a late charge into the squad, as winger James McClean did four years ago.
"There's a possibility of trying to organise another match but really after these two games, it's finalising a certain number of players and hoping they come through unscathed in the next couple of months," stated O'Neill.
"You are talking about very little break-time after that."
Wolves defender Matt Doherty, Bournemouth and former Coleraine midfielder Eunan O'Kane, Birmingham's Stephen Gleeson, Brentford midfielder Alan Judge and Aberdeen's Jonathan Hayes are among those hoping for a taste of the action.
While for some, that will simply amount to training with the senior squad at Abbotstown, O'Neill is adamant that there are some places which are yet to be nailed down.
He said: "There are one or two players there who have shown their worth in the qualification games and barring injury, there's a really great chance of them going, obviously.
"But there are other places up for grabs."

Elite Counter-Terrorism Service troops seized control of the state television building in Kukjali hours after launching an assault on the area.
But a BBC journalist embedded with them says they are facing fierce resistance.
Units of the army's ninth division are meanwhile said to be bearing down on south-eastern districts of the city.
On Monday, Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi told the 3,000 to 5,000 militants believed to be inside Mosul, which they overran in June 2014, that there was "no escape" and to "either surrender or die".
About 50,000 Iraqi security forces personnel, Kurdish fighters, Sunni Arab tribesmen and Shia militiamen are involved in the two-week-old offensive to drive IS militants out of their last major urban stronghold in the country.
CTS units retook Bazwaya, the last village before Mosul's eastern outskirts, in a dawn assault on Monday and then advanced on the Kukjali industrial zone.
They moved out again shortly before first light on Tuesday, this time with the aim of entering the adjoining Kukjali residential area, which is within the city limits.
If the troops can establish a foothold inside Mosul, it will be a big day for Iraq and all the other countries involved in the fight against the jihadist group, our correspondent says.
However, they are coming up against much more fierce resistance than he has seen in the past few days.
The club's owners raised the issue at a preliminary hearing in a legal battle with Latvian Valeri Belokon, the club's president and 20% shareholder.
They said that a bank owned by Mr Belokon was fined one million euros for repeated money-laundering "violations".
Mr Belokon who is alleging "unfair prejudice" denied the claim.
Eric Shannon, representing owner Owen Oyston and chairman Karl, his son, added the fine, on Mr Belokon's Baltic International Bank, was for "transactions that subjected the bank to a significant money laundering risk".
Fraser Campbell, representing Mr Belokon, told registrar Sally Barber at the hearing in London that the allegations were "wild and extremely serious" and which they had "responded to in a detailed letter setting out precisely the source of the funds involved."
Mr Belokon has accused the Oystons of stripping the football club of funds and is pursuing a claim for "unfair prejudice".
The hearing heard that Belokon's company, VB Football Assets, bought a 20% share of Blackpool FC for £1.8m in July 2006 and advanced £2.7m of loans "on highly generous terms" to the Oystons and their company Segesta Limited.
They also made money available to buy players and consequently the club was promoted to the Championship and, in 2010, to the Premier League.
VB Football hoped to convert the loans into a further 30% of shares, documents before the court revealed.
The documents also stated: "Promotion to the Premier League produced unprecedented revenues for the company, particularly in respect of television rights.
"However, instead of investing those funds in, for example, a strengthened playing squad, or using them to pay dividends to shareholders, the respondents (Segesta and the Oystons) caused enormous sums to be transferred to themselves and their associated companies."
Segesta and the Oystons deny unfair prejudice and are fighting the claims.
Blackpool supporters are set to march through the town ahead of Saturday's lunchtime fixture with Wigan in protest at the club's plight.
The banned American cyclist, 41, is accused of violating his contract with his former team and is said to have been "unjustly enriched" while cheating to win the Tour de France.
"The US Postal Service paid about $40m [£26m] to sponsor the USPS team from 1998 to 2004," the court document said.
Armstrong has admitted to doping during all of his seven Tour de France wins.
The lawsuit also names former team director Johan Bruyneel and team management company Tailwind Sports as defendants.
Armstrong ended years of denial in January during an interview with chat show host Oprah Winfrey in which he described doping as part of the process of winning the Tour.
The US government announced in February it would join the 2010 'whistleblowing' lawsuit filed by ex-US Postal rider Floyd Landis, who himself admitted using drugs throughout his career. Tuesday was the deadline for the Justice Department to file its formal complaint.

According to the suit, the Postal Service (USPS) paid about $40m (£26.2m) to be the title sponsor of Armstrong's teams for six of his Tour de France victories. It added that Armstrong's salary during that time, excluding bonuses, was $17.9m (£11.7m).
"Defendants were unjustly enriched to the extent of the payments and other benefits they received from the USPS, either directly or indirectly," the complaint said.
The government is seeking triple losses of the sponsorship funds, which amounts to around £78m, under the federal False Claims Act. The government also asked for a jury trial.
By flagging up allegations of fraud, Landis could receive a substantial share of any money recovered.
The law, introduced by President Lincoln in 1863, stipulates the person bringing the lawsuit can receive 15-25 per cent of any damages.
Armstrong attorney Elliot Peters called the government's complaint "opportunistic" and "insincere".
"The US Postal Service benefited tremendously from its sponsorship of the cycling team," Peters said. "Its own studies repeatedly and conclusively prove this. The USPS was never the victim of fraud.
"Lance Armstrong rode his heart out for the USPS team, and gave the brand tremendous exposure during the sponsorship years."
Team director Bruyneel has been charged by USADA with doping violations but is fighting that case in arbitration.
Hafiz Saeed - who led the banned Lashkar-e Taiba (LeT) militant group and has a $10m (£5.8m) US bounty on his head - is under house arrest in Lahore.
His supporters protested in several Pakistani cities. He has repeatedly denied involvement in the attacks.
But India and the US say he helped plan the shooting and bombing massacre.
A spokesman for Mr Saeed claimed the Pakistani government had been pressured by the US to act against him.
There were small protests in response to his detention in cities including Lahore, Peshawar and Islamabad.
Mr Saeed heads Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD), a Pakistani charity group which India and the US say is a front for the LeT. It is listed as a terror outfit by the United Nations, and was put on a Pakistani terror watch list in 2015.
The cleric was taken by police from a mosque in Lahore on Monday and escorted to his residence to be placed under house arrest.
Four JuD members have also been placed in "preventative detention", according to an order by the interior ministry.
The Islamist leader's free movement in Pakistan has been a source of tension between Islamabad and Delhi for years, but it is unclear why the authorities decided to move against him now.
He was put under house arrest in 2008 after the bloodshed in Mumbai, but released about six months later. Pakistan maintained there was not enough evidence to put him on trial or hand him over to India.
The Mumbai carnage played out on live television as commandos battled the heavily armed attackers, who arrived by sea on the evening of 26 November, 2008.
The 10 gunmen killed commuters, tourists, and some of India's wealthy elite in a rampage that included attacks on two luxury hotels, a Jewish centre, and a train station.
It took the authorities three days to regain full control of the city.
Delhi believes there is evidence that "official agencies" in Pakistan were involved in plotting the attack - a charge Islamabad denies.
Another alleged LeT leader, Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi, was also accused of masterminding the attack. He was arrested in 2008 after India named him as a suspect but Pakistan freed him on bail in 2015.
Pakistan's government has promised it will clarify what led to the house arrest of Hafiz Saeed and four other colleagues.
Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar said action had been initiated as a follow-up to the United Nations restrictions imposed in 2008. He said the government had failed to take measures then, but was acting now. But it is not clear what prompted the change.
Hafiz Saeed had his own explanation. "The orders have come via India and the US. Pakistan has its own limitations," he said.
Many in Islamabad believe the change in US administration might have forced Pakistan's hand. US President Donald Trump has not yet made his policy on Pakistan clear. It could be this unpredictability and Mr Trump's trait of aggressive decision-making that has sent a chill down the Pakistani establishment's spine.
Hafiz Saeed has been detained and released in the past. But many in Pakistan hope this might be a meaningful change and not a re-run of an old movie that we all have watched before.
Despite the bounty against him, Mr Saeed has led a high-profile public life in Pakistan, regularly delivering fierce anti-India speeches.
In a 2014 interview with the BBC, Mr Saeed said the US was only targeting his organisation to win India's help in Afghanistan.
News of the cleric's detention surfaced hours after Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar hinted at an imminent crackdown.
He told reporters in Islamabad that Pakistan is "under obligation to take some action" as JuD is blacklisted internationally and has been under observation for years.
A senior Pakistani defence ministry official told Reuters that Islamabad had not heard anything from President Trump's administration, but had been feeling US pressure over the terror suspect.
"Trump is taking hard decisions against Muslim countries, there is open talk of actions against Pakistan also. So yes, this was a consideration," said the official.
The keeper had little to do until he kept out Christian Doidge's looping header and then tipped Matt Richards' goal-bound free-kick onto the woodwork.
Earlier, the Magpies started well but Jon Stead was denied by a combination of Daggers goalkeeper Liam O'Brien and Joe Worrall after Jason Banton's cross.
The hosts' Adam Campbell also had an early shout for a penalty waved away.
Dagenham & Redbridge manager John Still told BBC Radio London:
"That was as good a performance as I think I've seen from a team I've had this season.
"I've seen us gradually improving. We haven't always been able to get up a head of steam, whereas today we were more controlled with the ball and had more purpose about our attacks.
"I was really, really pleased. I can't ask more from the players with a performance like that."
The 50-year-old, from Grimsby, was with eight friends who had planned to spend the night in Priest's Hole cave on Dove Crag on Saturday.
But he lost his footing and fell, suffering fatal injuries.
A team of rescuers, which included search dogs and a helicopter with heat-seeking equipment, led the rest of the group to safety.
Mike Blakey, leader of Patterdale Mountain Rescue, said: "The helicopter was able to direct the team straight to the man's location. He had slipped from a ledge and fallen approximately 150 metres vertically and had sustained fatal injuries.
"Unfortunately, due to weather conditions the helicopter was unable to assist further, which meant the team had to evacuate the man over a large boulder field and then down the valley on a stretcher to a Land Rover ambulance.
"This kind of evacuation is always complex as it involves belaying the stretcher down the mountainside and team members literally man-handling the stretcher over each boulder, through dense bracken and over streams."
The seven-hour rescue operation involved almost 30 members of two mountain rescue teams, aided by seven search dog handlers.
Mr Blakey said there had been an increase in visitors to the Priest's Hole since it featured in a BBC documentary and warned people to be cautious.
He added: "We are seeing more and more people attempting to locate the Priest's Hole in the dark and without the right equipment. Indeed, during this rescue we came across three men who had been searching for the cave for a couple of hours.
"We really would like to remind people that the cave is on the front face of a vertical cliff and it is only accessible by one route. It is always best to plan to arrive in daylight."
Of 45 governing bodies responding, 14 said they may have unchecked coaches.
Swimming had 170 out of 915 coaches working with children who have not been checked as part of the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) scheme.
Overall, there were 1,882 unchecked coaches out of 31,175 according to figures provided by Sportscotland.
MSP Liz Smith, the Conservative spokesperson for young people, is concerned by the statistics coming from the government agency that runs sport.
"I am sure it will be a concern for parents across Scotland," she said.
"Not only do we need a comprehensive system of disclosure checks - that's absolutely essential - but I think we need a consistency.
"And what's come through in these figures is that that consistency is not yet there. So that's a major concern."
The statistics for PVG checks follow a series of allegations of historical child abuse that have been made about British football in recent months.
The BBC has uncovered examples of abuse, such as that experienced by Peter Haynes, who said that he was abused for years by youth coach Hugh Stevenson, who was also an international match official.
It led to the Scottish Football Association launching an independent inquiry in December.
Responding to the BBC's findings about PVG checks, John Lunn, Sportscotland's head of child protection, said: "There can be gaps where you have maybe new coaches coming into the system, so PVG checks are in the system and in process.
"We also have coaches who no longer work with children and shouldn't be disclosed because they are not active in those environments any more.
"So this is a changing landscape all the time.
"Ultimately, I would urge parents to go and talk to the child protection officer in clubs, because they are the ones that have the legislative duty to ensure the checks are carried out and are in place and, rightly, that would be the first point of contact for anybody that has any concerns."
Sports organisations gave a number of reasons for coaches not being checked at the time of the survey.
Some coaches are self-employed, others are involved with school clubs where the local authority was responsible for checks, some were in the process of becoming qualified, while some were doing unregulated work that did not require a check.
The SFA, which has 1,298 unregistered coaches, said: "The Scottish Youth Football Association is working on processing the remaining 1,298."
Scottish Swimming has 170 unchecked coaches and said that these are "new/in process members and our policy is that these people will be in supportive and supervised roles assisting and supporting a coach who has been PVG checked".
Scottish Rugby, which has 178 unchecked coaches, said: "It is the responsibility of member clubs to conduct PVG checks for coaches undertaking regulated work with their clubs.
"Scottish Rugby is gathering data from members clubs so that an accurate picture can be provided across the sport in Scotland as a whole but do not believe there is an issue here as coaches doing regulated work with children are PVG checked by their member clubs, or - in the case of new coaches - will be in the process of being checked." | A man has been charged with raping a woman in a railway station car park.

On Monday, a loss of power at its headquarters in Atlanta led to the breakdown of the company's booking and communications systems
The airline was forced to cancel nearly 1,000 flights and delay close to 3,000 others worldwide.
Delta said it has addressed the issue but is still in "recovery mode".
"We were able to bring our systems back on line and resume flights within a few hours yesterday but we are still operating in recovery mode," said Dave Holtz, Delta's senior vice president of operations and customer centre.
He said the company was doing everything it could to restore the system but warned more delays and cancellations were likely.
On Monday evening, Delta's chief executive Ed Bastian, issued a video apology to passengers. The company has been offering refunds and $200 (£154) vouchers to passengers whose flights are cancelled or delayed by more than three hours.
The company has not said yet what the financial impact of the incident will be.

The #rideforolivia tribute was launched following the death of Australian Olivia Inglis, 17, in a fall on Sunday.
Hundreds of thousands of social media users from dozens of countries have been posting and sharing photos of their own horses using the hashtag.
Olympic gold medallist Charlotte Dujardin is among the high-profile figures to have joined in the tributes.
Fellow British dressage rider and gold medallist Carl Hester has also paid tribute.
The movement echoes a similar social campaign to mark the death of Australian cricketer Phillip Hughes in 2014.
The hashtags #putoutyourbats and #putyourbatsout were tweeted and shared across platforms such as Instagram and Facebook along with photos of cricket bats.
As of 08:00GMT on Thursday, more than 120,000 people had posted photographs and videos for #rideforolivia on Instagram alone.
The images will be used to create a mosaic of Olivia for her family, following a call from the bloodstock company which her family runs.

The US Congress approved the New Start treaty on Wednesday, when reluctant Republicans were won over.
The Speaker of Russia's State Duma (lower house), Boris Gryzlov, said MPs might approve the pact on Friday.
Under the deal, Russia and the US will cut deployed nuclear warheads by 30%.
President Medvedev hopes that the Duma and the upper house, the Federation Council, "will be ready to consider and ratify that document", a Kremlin spokeswoman said.
US President Barack Obama and Mr Medvedev had "agreed to synchronise the ratification process", Natalya Timakova added.
Russia's upper house will not approve it before the new year. Mr Gryzlov said the Russian parliament would first check that the US Senate's ratification motion had not changed the text of the agreement.
Earlier, President Obama said the treaty was the most important such deal in almost 20 years.

The Senate approved it by 71 votes to 26 after months of wrangling.
"This is the most significant arms control agreement in nearly two decades and it will make us safer and reduce our nuclear arsenals along with Russia," Mr Obama said.
He said the vote also showed that the US political process was not doomed to "endless gridlock".
"The strong bi-partisan vote in the Senate sends a powerful signal to the world that Republicans and Democrats stand together on behalf of our security," he said.
Thirteen Republican Senators voted with the Democrats during Wednesday's vote.
However top Republicans, including Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, John McCain and Jon Kyl, had opposed ratification saying the treaty could compromise security and the US missile defence strategy.
Correspondents say the ratification will be seen as a foreign policy success for Mr Obama.
He has argued that ratification of New Start is vital to US national security and made the agreement a key plank of the president's much-heralded "re-set" of relations with Russia.
After the vote, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said in a statement: "A responsible partnership between the world's two largest nuclear powers that limits our nuclear arsenals while maintaining strategic stability is imperative to promoting global security."
The New Start treaty, which will replace its lapsed predecessor, Start (Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty), was signed by the two presidents in April 2010.
It trims US and Russian nuclear arsenals to 1,550 deployed nuclear warheads - a cut of about 30% from a limit set eight years ago.
The treaty would also allow each side visually to inspect the other's nuclear capability, with the aim of verifying how many warheads each missile carries.
A previous inspection regime - part of the old Start treaty - expired a year ago.
In addition, there will be legally binding limits on the number of warheads and missiles that can be deployed on land, on submarines, and on bombers, at any one time.
Experts looked at deaths in men and women of all ages in Glasgow, Liverpool and Manchester from 1980 to 2011.
They said the results for women born in the 1970s should be a "warning signal" about their drinking habits.
They say minimum pricing, shelved this week as a plan to tackle binge drinking by the government in England and Wales, would help address the issue.
Almost 9,000 people die from conditions related to alcohol each year in the UK.
This study, detailed in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, looked at patterns of alcohol-related mortality in the three cities, which all have similar patterns of deprivation, poor health and industrialisation.
It compared trends in alcohol-related deaths of people born between 1910 and 1979.
Overall, men were much more likely to die from alcohol-related disease than women - and the age range most affected was people in their 40s and 50s.
But while rates have plateaued or even fallen slightly for the majority, that is not true for the youngest group of women - those born in the 1970s - for whom the death rate actually increased in all three cities.
A "snapshot" example cited by the researchers compares death rates for women born in different cohorts when they reached the age of 34.
For those born in the 1950s, it was a rate of eight per 100,000; for those born in the 1960s - 14 per 100,000, while for those born in the 1970s it rose to 20 per 100,000.
However for men, comparable figures showed a recent decrease.
For the 1950s cohort it was 22 per 100,000 rising to 38 per 100,000 in the 1960s - but falling to 30 per 100,000 for the 1970s.
Sally Marlow, from the Institute of Psychiatry at Kings College London, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme the report was the first indicator there may be a "ticking time bomb" of alcohol problems in women.
She said women born in the 1970s would have started drinking during the rise of the "ladette culture" in the 1990s.
"We had women very out there, embracing male behaviours - one of which was excessive drinking," she said.
She added that women suffer greater levels of harm than men at lower levels of drinking, meaning they more vulnerable to developing alcohol-related problems such as liver disease.
Writing in the journal, the team led by Dr Deborah Shipton, said it was "imperative that this early warning sign is acted upon".
"Failure to have a policy response to this new trend may result in the effects of this increase being played out for decades to come."
The team behind the report suggests that cheaper alcohol, which is more widely available, combined with better marketing and longer drinking hours will all have played their part in fuelling the problem.
Dr Shipton told the BBC it was "a shame" minimum pricing had been rejected in England and Wales.
She said it was one measure which would help tackle the problem, although it would not address the "deep-rooted cultural influences at play".
A spokesman for the Department of Health said the chief medical officer was currently looking at alchol unit information to see if it could be made more helpful to consumers.
He added: "DH spokesperson said: "We know that more action is needed to raise awareness of the dangers of alcohol.
"That's why we're banning alcohol sales below the level of duty plus VAT to are tackle the worst cases of super cheap and harmful alcohol, meaning it will no longer be legal to sell a can of ordinary lager for less than around 40p.
"We're also strengthening the ban on irresponsible promotions in pubs and clubs and challenging industry to increase its efforts through the responsibility deal. "
Scotland's government is still committed to bringing in a minimum price of 50p per unit.
However the law will not be implemented until legal proceedings, brought by the Scotch Whisky Association, are complete.
Northern Ireland is yet to put forward a specific proposal, although it is reviewing pricing.

Sophie Bray opened the scoring for England against the reigning European champions before Danson added a second.
Kristina Hillmann pulled one back for Germany but Danson added two more to seal an emphatic victory.

This means that after four years, about two teaspoons of sugar will have been removed from a can of fizzy drink.
A gradual reduction in calories and sweetness in drinks is the best way to cut sugar intake in the UK population, the group says.
Public Health England said other drinks brands should now follow Tesco's lead.
But the British Soft Drinks Association maintains that a number of companies have been reducing calories in their soft drinks for some time.
Recent figures show that over the last three years, calories in soft drinks are down by 7.3% and sugar is down by 8.3%.
Yet some sugary drinks still contain as much as 11 teaspoons of sugar in one 330ml can.
In a can of Tesco's classic cola there are nine teaspoons of sugar and in Tesco's fiery ginger beer there are 11 teaspoons of sugar.
Pepsi and Coca-Cola cans also contain nine teaspoons of sugar.
Old Jamaica Ginger Beer - 50.2g or 13 teaspoons
Fentimans Traditional Rose Lemonade - 38.6g or 10 teaspoons
7Up - 36.3g or 9 teaspoons
Tesco classic cola - 36g or 9 teaspoons
Coca-Cola - 35g or 9 teaspoons
Pepsi - 35g or 9 teaspoons
Barr's Irn Bru - 34g or 8 teaspoons
Tesco original cola - 32g or 8 teaspoons
Fanta Orange - 22.8g or 6 teaspoons
Source: Action on Sugar
With a 5% reduction every year over four years, Tesco's actions could result in 21kcal being removed from the average daily diet - or 477 billion calories from the total UK diet.
At present, the target for the maximum recommended daily amount of sugar is 25g for women (five to six teaspoons) and 35g (seven to eight teaspoons) for men, based on the average diet.
Prof Graham MacGregor, chairman of Action on Sugar, and professor of cardiovascular medicine at Queen Mary University London, says the supermarket chain's decision to commit to an incremental reduction in added sugars is really important.
"Merely having the option of diet or no-sugar products does not work, particularly for the most socially deprived.
"This is the way to do it. Now the pressure will be on other supermarkets and other brands to follow suit," he said.
He said gradually reducing calories in all sweetened drinks would help to reduce levels of type 2 diabetes and cut obesity in the UK population.
A similar strategy for the incremental reduction of salt content in food led to a 15% fall in salt intakes in the UK and fewer deaths from strokes and heart attacks, Prof MacGregor added.
Dr Alison Tedstone, chief nutritionist at Public Health England, said "reformulation" of food and drink products is a highly effective way of helping people to reduce sugar in their diet.
"We urge other drinks brands and supermarkets to follow in Tesco's footsteps.
"As a nation we are eating too much sugar which leads to weight gain and obesity, increasing our risk of life-threatening illnesses such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease."
PHE said the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition (SACN) was currently finalising its recommendations on sugar and would publish them later in the year.
Gavin Partington, director general of the British Soft Drinks Association, says diet drinks now make up 60% of the soft drinks market.
He added that other supermarkets had also been getting in on the act of reducing sugar content.
Sainsbury's has reduced the sugar content of its own-brand high juice squashes by between 4% and 10%, the Co-Operative Group has removed 1.5 billion calories from its range of own-branded squashes and ASDA is set to reduce added sugar by 22% across a range of its own-brand soft drinks.
The man, who is aged in his 40s, was taken to hospital with serious injuries after the attack at a house in Vicarage Hill, Westerham, on Sunday.
Kent Police said the injuries inflicted by the dogs were not life threatening.
Officers in riot gear contained the animals in one room of the property before they were removed.
The animals were then sedated by specialists, assisted by an RSPCA inspector and an independent vet.
Firearms officers were called to the scene and the road outside the property was closed temporarily to "ensure public safety".
In a statement, Kent Police said the dogs, believed to be bullmastiffs, belonged to the man's friend.
It added: "Five dogs believed to be bullmastiffs have been safely removed from the property and work to ensure their welfare is ongoing by police and partner agencies.
"We are managing the dogs' welfare but it is too soon to say what will happen to them."

On Monday, car parks and also areas of land at the Quiraing and The Storr on the Trotternish Peninsula were closed to the public for filming.
Lealt Quarry is also thought to be being used by the film crew, and a helicopter has been seen flying over that location with a camera attached.
Scenes for other big budget features, including The BFG and Prometheus, have previously been shot on Skye.
Earlier this year a UK-wide review said that although the service at the Royal Belfast Hospital for Sick Children is safe, it is not sustainable.
It could mean that children would have to travel to England for treatment.
But the BBC understands cross-border discussions are ongoing about the possibility of developing an all-Ireland service.
Last month, Stormont Health Minister Edwin Poots said he was reviewing the future of local paediatric heart surgery provision as a direct result of the conclusions of the UK-wide review.
The outcome of his review could mean children and families having to travel to England for treatment.
Those involved have argued that would be devastating, and would place great stress on parents and children.
The cross-border call was made by the Children's Heartbeat Trust, which said almost 10,000 people have signed an online petition calling for the retention of the surgery in Belfast.
Sarah Quinlan, from the Children's Heartbeat Trust, said: "Our aim is to keep children's heart surgical services in Belfast, working as part of an all-Ireland network with Dublin, because sending all children who need interventional procedures for congenital heart disease to England is simply unacceptable."
She said the Children's Heartbeat Trust's position is that surgery must continue in Belfast as part of an all-Ireland network operating between Belfast and Dublin.
This would ensure the retention of the service and required a closer working relationship with Our Lady's Hospital in Crumlin.
Joanne Clifford, whose son Liam, 2, was born with a heart defect that needed surgery, said: "The clinicians and surgical team at the Clark Clinic at the Royal Belfast Hospital for Sick Children have been first class and Liam enjoys life as any toddler does.
"The idea that we would have had to travel to England for this treatment is simply unimaginable - not only would this have placed huge emotional stress on our family, separating us from all family support and our son undergoing complex surgery many miles from home, but the financial pressure would also have been enormous."
Liam Turner, 15, from Gilnahirk, has been treated for a heart defect in Belfast.
"Having a heart defect means I get tired and breathless very easily. I wouldn't want to have to go to England for my treatment and be so far away from my friends, family and school," he said.
"Undergoing surgery is bad enough, but not being able to have it in Belfast would make it so much worse."
The group plans to hold a series of meetings across Northern Ireland in September and October.
Congenital heart disease is the most common birth defect in Northern Ireland, affecting more than 250 babies a year.
Pompey secured automatic promotion from League Two earlier this month, and still have a chance to win the title with two games remaining.
Cook is set to decide on the future of his out-of-contract players, but suggested many will remain next season.
"I can't see many shocks when it comes to publishing our retained list," he told BBC Radio Solent.
Club captain Michael Doyle, Enda Stevens and Kyle Bennett are among a number of first-team players whose deals expire this summer.
But Cook says adding depth to the squad will be his main focus over the close season.
"We want to get stronger and to do that, you have to have bigger squads, more players and invest in your infrastructure," he said.
"Portsmouth want to get back to a level in the football pyramid where we belong and to do that, we've got to have a lot of factors in our favour.
"But, if we had to play a game in League One tomorrow and I had to go in with the squad I've got now, would it faze me? No, it wouldn't.
"That speaks volumes for all the players at this club."
Third-placed Portsmouth, who are four points behind leaders Doncaster, travel to Mansfield on Saturday before hosting Cheltenham in their last League Two game on 6 May.

The Foxes are 15th and just two points above the relegation zone following a 2-1 defeat at the Stadium of the Light.
Their return of 13 points after 14 games is the worst record of any defending Premier League champions.
"It's difficult. We miss everything," Ranieri said.
"Everything last season was right, starting with luck; this season, everything is wrong.
"But we must continue to work hard and maintain the right balance in ourselves, believe in ourselves. The battle is long, but that's football, sport."
Leicester have not led away from home all season and fell behind midway through the second half against Sunderland when Robert Huth diverted a corner into his own net.
Jermain Defoe added a second for the hosts and although Shinji Okazaki pulled one back for the Foxes, they could not find an equaliser.
"We wanted to get points here but of course it was a relegation battle. They won, well done to them," Ranieri added.
"I said two, three weeks ago, always I look behind me. We are in the battle of relegation. For this reason we must stay calm, together and continue to work hard."
Jamie Vardy's poor form in front of goal continued as the England striker failed to score for a 16th successive game in all competitions for Leicester.
"Look, for me, he works well, hard," Ranieri said.
"Of course the goals are important, but I believe in him and sooner or later, he will start to score goals."
In 2011, the star played the solar-powered Croissant Neuf stage, playing "to about 500 people".
On Sunday, he closed the festival, attracting a much younger audience than Friday and Saturday's headliners, Radiohead and Foo Fighters.
The 26-year-old admitted he was "very nervous but very excited" to be there.
"For those of you who haven't seen one of my shows before or haven't heard one of my songs, please pretend that you know them," he told the audience.
"For those of you who have, please sing all of the words."
"The aim of tonight is to lose our voices," he added. "I'm going to lose mine as well."
The audience took him up on the challenge; joining in wistfully as he sang the ballads Photograph and Thinking Out Loud.
They didn't quite keep up, however, with the spittle-flecked Take It Back - a whirlwind of wordplay in which Sheeran declared: "I'm not a rapper, I'm a singer with a flow."
The star played, as he usually does, without a band; using a loop pedal to layer his vocal and guitar lines and create a backing track live, on the spot.
This created problems during Bloodstream when his guitar slipped out of tune but, for the most part, the sound was impressive: Sheeran can build up or break down a song at will, a skill honed by years of relentless gigging in his teens.
Highlights included The A-Team, which he sang illuminated by the audience, who held their phones aloft, creating the impression of 80,000 fireflies bobbing around the fields of Worthy Farm.
Sheeran also invited traditional Irish band Beoga on stage to accompany him on Nancy Mulligan, a song about his paternal grandmother.
It was a moment that reeked of cheese but, watched from the side of the stage by his grandfather, Sheeran made it seem genuine.
This is the secret to his appeal. His brand of pop can be innocuous and twee - but Sheeran sells it with an earnest, everyman shtick that demolishes the divide between artist and audience.
However you respond to his music, it is clear he strikes a chord, especially with the YouTube generation who prioritise relatability over the preening mannerisms of, say, Mick Jagger.
Sheeran exploits it effortlessly. On headlining Glastonbury, he told the crowd: "I'd like to say it was a dream of mine, but I never thought I'd get to the point where I was playing this stage, let alone headlining it."
And to Glastonbury itself, Sheeran's appeal to under-30s is paramount: those are the fans the festival needs to replenish its audience and survive.
That's why this year saw more pop and grime acts than ever, from Charli XCX to Katy Perry; from Wiley to Stormzy.
On Sunday, the festival also saw sets from Royal Blood, Courteeners, Foo Fighters, The Jacksons, Radiohead and The Killers - who played a secret show on the John Peel stage on Sunday evening.
"They say you play the John Peel Stage twice in your career - once on the way up, and once on the way down," said frontman Brandon Flowers.
"It's great to be back."
Earlier in the day, the Pyramid Stage briefly turned into Studio 54, with consecutive sets from Bee Gee Barry Gibb and funk band Chic drawing one of the biggest crowds of the weekend.
And LA band Haim literally brought the audience at The Other Stage to its knees.
The band, who were debuting songs from their new album, Something To Tell You, encouraged the crowd to dance lower and lower towards the ground until, eventually, they were lying down on the grass.
"All I wanted was a dance party," bassist Este Haim told the BBC afterwards, "and then Glastonbury danced with me. We tangoed."
Sunday also saw sets from Shaggy, Emeli Sande, London Grammar and Biffy Clyro, who threw down the gauntlet to Sheeran with a ferocious volley of rock riffs on the Pyramid Stage.
There is no Glastonbury in 2018, meaning that there are 731 days until Worthy Farm opens its gates again.
The cows will be pleased.

Rex, a black Labrador, is the "top dog" in the K9 (canine) unit of Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP), security officials told the BBC.
Rex was a part of the team of 20 dogs which was used to secure the venue of the recent India-Africa summit.
The K9 unit is regularly used for anti-sabotage work at big-ticket events.
"At the venue of the India-Africa summit, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's security officials planted five grams (1/10th of an ounce) of RDX explosives under his chair as part of the security drill," a senior police official told the BBC.
"Rex found it in two minutes. The PM's security was overjoyed," he said.
Officials say the K9 unit is routinely deployed to sniff out explosives and secure venues during high-profile events and visits by foreign leaders.
The dogs were used during "Operation ObMo" (when US President Barack Obama visited Delhi and met PM Modi), "Operation Doga" (International Yoga Day), and during the Independence Day and Republic Day celebrations, they said.
CS Wind bought WTS from stakeholders SSE and Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE).
SSE said CS Wind planned to invest up to £14m in Scotland and create up to 70 new jobs in rural Argyll.
The investment is also expected to secure 134 jobs at the existing WTS plant in Machrihanish.
No financial details of the deal have been given. SSE has sold its entire 81% stake in WTS, while HIE has off-loaded its 19% share.
WTS, which was established in 2011 by SSE and HIE, supplies wind turbine infrastructure to markets across Europe.
It also provides repair and maintenance services to the sector.
CS Wind is a global manufacturer of wind farm tower structures.
SSE director of procurement Sandy Biggar said: "Transfer of our stake in the business to CS Wind at this point represents a renewed growth opportunity for Wind Towers and job security for the staff there on top of increased employment opportunities for skilled workers based in Argyll and Bute.
WTS managing director Grant McPherson said: "We are immensely pleased CS Wind has announced this major investment in Scotland.
"Machrihanish is an ideal location for wind tower manufacturing with an excellent reputation and highly skilled workforce.
"The team at Wind Towers is completely supportive of this development and already looking forward to the opportunities to come as CS Wind has stated it has big plans to build on the current success of the factory."
The British Chamber of Commerce, the CBI and manufacturers' organisation the EEF all called for an early decision on expanding airport capacity
Mr Javid, an MP since 2010, was culture secretary before the election.
Before politics he was an investment banker for Chase Manhattan Bank in New York and Deutsche Bank.
The married father of four was state school educated and studied at Exeter University before embarking on his career which saw him rise to being a managing director of Deutsche Bank in 2009.
Mr Javid, whose father was a Pakistani immigrant who worked as a bus driver, also had spells as financial secretary to the treasury and minister for equalities in the last parliament.
'Diggers on the ground'
EEF chief executive Terry Scuoler said: "The new secretary of state will also play an important role in any EU negotiations and in the forthcoming referendum and I am sure he understands that the vast majority of businesses he will now be representing in government want Britain to remain at the heart of a reformed Europe."
He added there was a need to "ensure Government delivers the big-ticket infrastructure projects, from the new airport hub to rail and road improvements".
CBI director general John Cridland congratulated Mr Javid on his new job, saying he had been "an excellent treasury minister" and would be a "a strong voice for business".
"As an immediate step, we want the government to set out a clear business plan for its first 100 days, including getting the deficit down, finding new ways to deliver public services and committing to the Airports Commission's final decision this summer," he said.
The BCC's John Longworth said he hoped the government would stay true on "irreversible commitments to new airport capacity" in the South East.
He also urged Mr Cameron to "be ambitious" and to fight Whitehall "inertia".
Meanwhile, Christian May, the head of campaigns and communications at the Institute of Directors described Mr Javid's new role as a "solid appointment".
He said: "Sajid Javid is respected by the business community for his understanding of the hard work and risk taking involved in running a company, and also for his own private sector experience.
"Furthermore, his time spent working with the chancellor will ensure a productive relationship between the Department of Business Innovation and Skills, and the Treasury that wasn't always evident under the coalition."
Runway options
Last week it was reported that that a long-running inquiry into the need for a new airport runway in the South East may be delayed for more public consultation.
Sir Howard Davies, the chairman of the Airports Commission, decided to take further evidence on problems caused by air pollution.
The commission has already recommended three options for a new runway.
The final report was expected next month, but could now be delayed as a result of the consultation, which is expected to end on Friday 29 May.
The three options are:
The Airports Commission began its inquiry three years ago, with the result being put off until after the general election.
The top seed was broken in his opening service game by 31-year-old Almagro, ranked 44th in the world, but recovered to take the first set tie-break.
The pair exchanged breaks early in the second set before Murray prevailed.
Murray will face third seed Tomas Berdych in the semis and, if he progresses, could meet Novak Djokovic in Saturday's final.
Djokovic, whom Murray replaced as world number one in November, beat veteran Radek Stepanek 6-3 6-3 in their quarter-final to book a meeting with Fernando Verdasco of Spain in the last four.
Elsewhere, Britain's Aljaz Bedene beat Slovakia's Martin Klizan to reach the quarter-finals of the Chennai Open in India.
And Australia's Nick Kyrgios was beaten 6-2 6-2 by Jack Sock at the mixed teams Hopman Cup, in the tie between Australia and the United States.
Kyrigos was defeated in under an hour and later pulled out of the mixed doubles event with a knee problem.
His injury comes less than two weeks before the Australian Open - the first Grand Slam of the year in Melbourne.
Les Bleus beat Ireland 10-9 in Paris to claim their second win of the campaign.
After drawing in Ireland on the opening weekend, Wales saw off Scotland on Saturday, and Jones expects a tough French challenge on 26 February.
"We know the quality and calibre of player they have, they can turn it on when they want to," he said.
"The occasion when they come to the Principality Stadium is going to be a pretty special one. They are a work in progress but they are growing."
France are in their first campaign under veteran former Toulouse coach Guy Noves, after a heavy defeat against New Zealand in Cardiff saw them exit the World Cup on a low point.
"They're a typical French side - you don't know necessarily what's going to turn up and I think that's the biggest compliment you can give to a French side," said Jones.
"From our point of view, the first two games we have had have been pretty attritional affairs and from the scoreline of their game, that was in a similar vein."
Jones believes the Welsh game is also on the up, after he had spoken before the Scotland match of the need to develop a wider game.
"It was a bit of a dogfight at the breakdown at times, I think they probably had the ascendancy in the first half," he added.
"But when we had the opportunity we made good dents and made something out of it. There's a definite improvement there but you've still got to take those chances.
"It's good to know we can weather those storms within the game and ultimately get the score."
Meanwhile, Wales scrum-half Gareth Davies insists he was not offside for the try that set his team on the road to victory over Scotland.
The visitors' coach Vern Cotter and captain Greig Laidlaw both questioned whether Davies was offside when he collected a loose ball for his early score after a 40-metre dash.
"It came off their player, it was fine," Davies told BBC Wales Sport.
"A great little nudge from Biggs [Dan Biggar], good work from Jamie (Roberts) in the air as he managed to tap it back. I was in the right place at the right time and a decent little finish."
Davies' try was his sixth in 12 caps after scoring five at the World Cup, and the first at the Principality Stadium since the name change.
"I didn't know about that, but my grandmother told me upstairs, so it's a good little feeling" said Davies.
He admitted to some surprise at learning of France's victory over Ireland.
"Yes, a little bit, but it's a decent result for us and we've got to make the most of it," he added.
"I think we're in a good place. We've got a week off [without a match], a training week but we'll be in nearly every day.
"In the French game hopefully we can be a bit more clinical and come away with a victory."
Davies has been first-choice since an injury to Rhys Webb in September, but could face a renewed challenge from the Ospreys man later in the tournament if he proves his fitness quickly enough to earn a recall to the squad.

The collision happened just after 15:45 BST on Friday on the A267 at Argos Hill, near Rotherfield, police said.
A blue and white Suzuki and a silver Peugeot 307 estate crashed opposite the junction with Yew Tree Lane.
The 39-year-old motorcyclist from Heathfield was fatally injured. The car driver, an 81-year-old local man, and his passenger, an 80-year-old woman, were uninjured.

The owner of the Thomson and First Choice brands said it was seeing greater demand for Spanish and long-haul destinations.
Last month, Tui reported a 40% slump in summer holiday bookings to Turkey amid the strife in neighbouring Syria.
In its latest trading statement, the firm said demand for Turkish destinations remained "subdued".
"We remain pleased with our summer 2016 trading performance, with 95% of our source market programme sold and increased revenue in all our major source markets," the statement said.
"The UK continues to demonstrate a strong bookings performance, up 9% on prior year."
Tui Group said it had sold 47% of its summer holidays for this year, broadly in line with expectations. Overall, bookings were up 2% and revenues were 3% higher.
Ms Le Pen, of the far-right National Front (FN), chose Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, of the mainstream nationalist "Stand Up France" in an apparent bid to attract his voters.
Mr Dupont-Aignan had already backed Ms Le Pen for the second round.
Ms Le Pen faces centrist Emmanuel Macron in the second, decisive round of voting, which takes place on 7 May.
Mr Dupont-Aignan, who got 4.7% in the first round, stood on a platform of leaving the euro and scrapping the European Union, higher ethical standards for elected officials, and focusing on the fight against jihadist terrorism.
He said it was time to stop treating Ms Le Pen as untouchable.

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

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

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

The defection, and Mr Cunha's threat to take his party with him, is a blow to embattled President Dilma Rousseff.
Mr Cunha has accused the government and Prosecutor General Rodrigo Janot of conspiring to incriminate him in a widening corruption scandal at state-run oil firm Petrobras.
Without Mr Cunha's PMDB party, Ms Rousseff has no majority in Congress.
"I cannot accept that the government uses its machinery to seek the political persecution of those who turn against it," Mr Cunha said in Brasilia.
His defection followed allegations made this week by a jailed former consultant to Petrobras, Julio Camargo, that Mr Cunha had demanded a $5m (£3.2m) bribe to push through contracts for equipment.
Mr Cunha has denied any involvement, and said Ms Rousseff and Mr Janot were unfairly dragging congressmen into the Petrobras investigations.
His name had appeared earlier this year alongside those of dozens of other congressmen on a list of people whom the police reportedly wanted to interview in relation to the scandal.
The real losers in Brazil's Petrobras scandal
Thirty-four congressmen and one state vice-governor are under investigation for taking bribes.
Investigators allege firms paid corrupt officials in order to get lucrative Petrobras contracts.
President Dilma Rousseff, who chaired Petrobras when much of the corruption is believed to have taken place, has been cleared of involvement.
Analysts say Mr Cunha's opposition to Ms Rousseff could become a major obstacle for any legislation proposed by her government, at a time when it is trying to introduce public spending cuts to stave off recession.
Mr Cunha, an evangelical Christian, is seen as a possible presidential candidate in 2018.
Ukraine's Petro Poroshenko and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin spoke by phone to discuss steps to make Friday's truce durable.
But by Saturday evening there were reports of shelling near the southern city of Mariupol.
Meanwhile, Russia vowed to respond if the European Union imposed new sanctions over the Ukraine crisis.
The EU says the sanctions, targeting more Russian individuals, will be introduced on Monday but could be later suspended if Russia withdraws troops from eastern Ukraine and observes a current truce.
Russia has repeatedly denied accusations by Ukraine and the West that it has been sending regular troops into eastern Ukraine to help the rebels.
Some 2,600 people have died in fighting after pro-Russian rebels seized towns in Ukraine's eastern Donetsk and Luhansk regions in April - a month after Russia's annexation of the southern Crimean peninsula.
In a statement Mr Poroshenko also said that the two presidents had stressed the need "to maximise the involvement" of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) in monitoring the truce.
The two leaders also discussed ways of co-operating in delivering humanitarian aid to the region.
In his turn, President Putin said in a statement that an agreement was reached to "continue dialogue".
The ceasefire deal was signed during talks between representatives of Ukraine, Russia, the OSCE and the separatist rebels in Minsk, Belarus.
The truce came into effect at 15:00 GMT on Friday.
There were no reports of major fighting in the east for the first 24 hours, but by Saturday evening the BBC's Fergal Keane tweeted from Mariupol that shelling had resumed.
The spokesman for Ukraine's National Security and Defence Council, Andriy Lysenko, said earlier on Saturday that the rebels had fired 10 times on Ukrainian troops since the truce.
Unconfirmed reports also say a number of fighters from Ukraine's Aydar battalion were ambushed and killed after the ceasefire.
Meanwhile, the rebel leader of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic, Aleksandr Zakharchenko, said the truce was "not being fully observed" and that rebels had been subjected to shelling in the town of Amvrosiyivka near Donetsk.
Also the International Committee of the Red Cross said in a tweet that aid trucks on their way to Lugansk had been forced to turn back by shelling, without giving any further details.
Our correspondent also spoke to Andriy Biletskiy, the commander of Ukraine's Azov battalion, who said he believed fighting would resume within "five to seven days".
"We will see how the situation develops," he said. "If it was a tactical move there is nothing wrong with it... if it's an attempt to reach an agreement concerning Ukrainian soil with separatists then obviously it's a betrayal."
A BBC crew that travelled to Donetsk airport on Saturday morning heard a few gunshots and small explosions but residents said the night had been quiet.
Earlier on Saturday, the Russian foreign ministry said there "will undoubtedly be a reaction from our side" if the new EU sanctions were passed.
The fresh sanctions would add another 24 to the list of people barred from entering the EU and whose assets have been frozen.
Among them would be the rebel leadership in the eastern Donetsk and Luhansk regions, officials in Crimea, which was annexed by Russia in March, and Russian "decision-makers and oligarchs", European Council President Herman Van Rompuy and European Commission chief Jose Manuel Barroso said in a statement.
The Russian foreign ministry said the EU was "practically sending a signal of direct support to the 'party of war' in Kiev".
So far, 15,000 girls have put forward ideas for new badges, including App Design, Vlogging and Upcycling.
Olympic gymnast Beth Tweddle, one of several "inspirational women" involved, suggested a Resilience badge.
And Lil, aged nine, wanted a Gymnastics badge as: "I enjoy doing it and I can do lots of tricks."
Has Girl Guiding stood the test of time?
Girlguiding might be more famous for less adventurous badges like Homemaker and Hostess but they also have a long tradition of groundbreaking badges, including:
More recently, in the 1980s, there was a Radio Communicator badge, and the 1990s girls could do a Canoeist badge.
The current set of badges include Survival, Circus Skills and World Issues.
Parents and the general public are now being invited to contribute ideas for the new programme on social media, using the hashtag #BadgeGoals.
Girlguiding has more than 500,000 members aged five to 25 and 100,000 volunteers.
It runs Rainbows for five to seven-year-olds, Brownies for seven to 10-year-olds, Guides for 10 to 14-year-olds and Senior Section for 14 to 25-year-olds.
As well as Vlogging, App Design and Upcycling, potential badges suggested by members include:
Elena, 17, said: "A Chemist badge would be brilliant as girls could find out about acids and alkalis and have a go at conducting experiments.
"It would be a fantastic way to engage girls in chemistry."
Mihika, eight, said her top choice would be a Zip Line Badge, "because it is very fun and cool".
Sophie, 20, wanted a Video Journalist badge: "It would give girls the opportunity to learn about making vlogs and other video news pieces and understand how to harness one of the most powerful communication mediums available."
Beth Tweddle said her proposed Resilience badge would "give girls the chance to build their mental wellbeing".
She said resilience was a "valuable skill" which had helped her handle "the pressures of competing in gymnastics".
"A Resilience badge would help to tackle the stigma around mental health from a young age by empowering girls to talk confidently about these issues and equipping them with the skills they need to be resilient throughout their lives."
Girlguiding says the new programme, starting next year, will mark "the biggest investment in girls' futures outside the school system in the UK".
The aim is to equip hundreds of thousands of girls "with all the skill and experiences they will need to thrive, succeed, make change and be happy in the modern world", it adds.
In 2014 the Scout Association carried out a similar move, introducing 19 new badges after a 10-month consultation with its 12,000 scouts.
Among the new badges was geocaching - a modern take on orienteering where participants use GPS technology to find hidden treasure boxes.
Beth Tweddle is among several prominent women awarded honorary "I Give Girls a Voice" Guide badges for being role models for girls and young women.
Other recipients include fellow Olympians Lizzy Yarnold, Dame Kelly Holmes and Hannah Cockroft, as well as entertainer Kimberly Wyatt, campaigning journalist Bryony Gordon and adventurer Anna McNuff.
Gallagher stepped down with two years still left on his contract on Monday - nine days after his side's 4-17 to 0-14 qualifier hammering by Galway.
There has been speculation social media criticism contributed to his departure.
"I have no interest in social media whatsoever. It has no impact on my life or my decision to step away from the senior team," said Gallagher.
The former Donegal manager added that he does not have Facebook or Twitter accounts.
Speaking in a statement, Gallagher thanked his own family, the county's players over his seven years of involvement with the squad and the county's GAA officials for their support during his time with Donegal.
Fermanagh native Gallagher served as assistant to previous Jim McGuinness manager from 2011 to 2013 before being appointed boss in 2014.
Gallagher guided Donegal to the Ulster final in both 2015 and 2016 but they lost to Monaghan and Tyrone on both occasions, and went out to bow at the All-Ireland quarter-finals stage later those summers.
With several experienced players retiring over the last two seasons, Gallagher faced the task of building a largely new team in 2017.
Promising performances in the Football League had many pundits tipping Donegal for an extended championship run but the highly-rated side were hammered by Tyrone in the Ulster semi-final in June and the belief and energy seemed to drain from the players following that defeat.
"Only the players and their families, the management and county board officers can appreciate the effort that the 2017 squad made this season," continued Gallagher in his statement.
"We understand fully the road we are on. It is the beginning of a new team. It will continue to need huge levels of commitment over the next number of years.
"To the players who I have coached and managed thanks for your hunger and desire to be better for Donegal. You should be very proud of yourselves.
"It made the training pitch a special place to be. We have had tough days and great days. Along the way we have had lots of fun. Your total support and loyalty throughout the seven years means a lot," concluded Gallagher as he wished Donegal GAA the "very best in the future".
When Donegal won the All-Ireland title in 2012, Gallagher's role was regarded as crucial to the success and while he split with McGuinness' management team a year later, his good relationship with the Donegal players meant he was himself at the helm by late 2014.
Former Donegal player Eamon McGee tweeted on Monday evening that Gallagher had been "so important to our All-Ireland win in 2012".

Manager O'Neill's selection included dropping star striker Kyle Lafferty but Northern Ireland won 2-0 to revive their hopes of reaching the last 16.
"It was a massive decision, and it paid off," said 25-year-old Magennis.
"If it had been Jose Mourinho or Roy Hodgson, he would be hailed as a magician."
Following a deserved day off, O'Neill and his Northern Ireland team returned to training on Saturday to prepare for the final Group C game against Germany.
After his team selection for Thursday's historic victory, few would put money on what O'Neill's line-up will be for Tuesday's crucial match at Parc des Princes.
Magennis said all the changes made by O'Neill after the opening 1-0 defeat by Poland had been entirely justified.
"There were not many who could say they deserved to stay in the team," he added.
"We went back to the format which worked for us in qualifying and the boys who stepped in were magnificent.
"We nullified their wide men who were their big threat."
Media playback is not supported on this device
Magennis said Northern Ireland would not be going out to try to hold the Germans to a draw.
"They are a dominant force who can hurt you from all angles - we know it is going to be tough," said Magennis.
"But as a group, from the manager to the kitman, everybody who wears the badge on their chest believes we can progress in this tournament.
"Our attitude is we are going to try to win this game. Every team has weaknesses and it is just a matter of us finding Germany's.
"There is no team we fear in this tournament."
Overseas shipments fell 14% in July from a year ago and imports fell 24.7% leaving Japan's trade surplus at 513.5bn yen ($5.2bn; £4bn). The falls were the sharpest since 2009.
The benchmark Nikkei 225 closed 1.6% lower at 16,486.01.
The yen rose again on Thursday, passing the key 100 level against the US dollar for the third time this year.
"Looking ahead, we expect the yen to weaken against the dollar towards the end of the year, so the annual growth rates of export and import values should start to recover in coming months," senior Japan economist at Capital Economist Marcel Thieliant said.
"But with external demand sluggish, trade volumes are unlikely to stage a strong rebound."
Japan's broader Topix index matched the Nikkei's fall, losing 1.6% to end at 1,290.79.
Other markets are also trading mixed after Federal Reserve minutes diminished expectations of an interest rate increase next month.
Seoul's Kospi rose 0.6% to end at 2,054.89. The Shanghai Composite fell 0.2% to finish at 3,104.11.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng rose by 1% to close at 23,028.08, led by shares of internet giant Tencent which reported better-than-expected profit on Wednesday.
Australia's S&P/ASX 200 fell 0.5% to wrap at 5,507.80 despite better-than-expected data that showed the country's jobless rate fell in July.
The unemployment rate dropped to 5.7% due to an increase in part-time jobs created for last month's national election.
Shane Oliver, head of investment strategy and chief economist at AMP Capital called today's data "reasonably solid".
However, the overall jobs market is "not quite as strong as it looks" due to the fall in full-time employment, he said.
The second season of Netflix's hugely popular drama Stranger Things will premiere on Halloween 2017, the streaming service confirmed earlier this year.
The show stars Winona Ryder and David Harbour but also relies heavily on its cast of child actors, who play some of the main characters.
The young stars have been praised for their performances in the show, and could well have bright futures in Hollywood ahead of them.
But the glitz and glamour of the entertainment industry isn't for everyone.
For every Drew Barrymore or Jodie Foster, there are plenty of child actors who chose to go in totally different directions in their adult years.
Here are six child stars who left acting behind to pursue new careers.
You might not recognise the name, but Ostrum played Charlie in the big-screen adaptation of Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
The 1971 film saw Ostrum appear alongside four other child actors as one of Willy Wonka's five golden ticket winners.
"Everybody thinks that acting is such a glamorous profession, but it's a difficult profession," he said after starring in the film.
That may explain why he quit acting and became a vet as an adult instead.
Some of the other young actors in the film picked up a few more big screen roles in the years after the film, but nearly all drifted away from Hollywood.
Michael Bollner, who played Augustus Gloop, for example, now works as an accountant in Munich.
In the 1990s, it was difficult to go to the cinema without seeing a film with Mara Wilson in it.
She starred in Miracle on 34th Street, Mrs Doubtfire, A Simple Wish and Matilda.
But then, as she entered her teenage years, the former child actress retreated from the limelight.
"I was 13 and I was awkward, and I was gawky, and I was not a very cute kid anymore," Wilson told The Huffington Post in 2013.
"So, Hollywood didn't really want me at that point, and I was kind of over it too. So, after a while, it feels like a mutual breakup. That's the way that I'd describe it."
Wilson is now a writer and released a book last year called Where Am I Now?
She also came out as bisexual in support of the victims of the attack on an LGBT nightclub in Orlando.
Harper Lee's novel To Kill A Mockingbird was an instant literary phenomenon when it was first released in 1960, and is still considered a classic.
When the inevitable big-screen adaptation was made, Mary Badham was hired to play the role of Scout, the young girl who serves as the book's narrator.
Badham became the youngest actress ever nominated for the best supporting actress category at the Oscars after her appearance in the film (although the record was broken a decade later by the marginally younger Tatum O'Neal).
She went on to act in a few other films released in the 1960s, but then gave up on the profession for the rest of her life - with one exception.
Badham was coaxed out of retirement for a minor role in one film - 2005's Our Very Own - after its director, Cameron Watson, said he wouldn't accept any other actress for the part.
She now works an art restorer and a college testing coordinator, but often writes about her experiences on Mockingbird and attended a special screening of the film with President Obama in 2012.
"When I retired, I was at an in-between age. I wasn't a child anymore, I wasn't really a woman yet and they weren't really writing scripts for that age," she said later that year.
Not many of us can claim to have started our career at the age of three - but that's exactly what Shirley Temple did.
As a child actress, she starred in a whole host of films, including Bright Eyes, The Little Princess, Heidi and Captain January.
But in her adult years, she entered politics and public affairs, becoming a Republican fundraiser and serving three years as the United States Ambassador to (what was then known as) Czechoslovakia.
She also had a mocktail named after her - which, thank you for asking, consists of ginger ale (or lemonade) and a splash of grenadine, garnished with a maraschino cherry.
When Temple died in 2014 at the age of 85, she left behind a remarkable legacy - no child star since has ever come close to equalling her record of being Hollywood's top box office star for four years in a row.
Mark Lester was just 10 years old when he was cast as Oliver in, er, Oliver.
The film adaptation of the stage musical was released in 1968 - more than 130 years after Charles Dickens's novel Oliver Twist was first published
Lester took various roles over the following decade but decided to give up acting at the age of 19 and became an osteopath.
"Child actors going on to become adult actors never really works, apart from a few. Jodie Foster was the exception," he told The Independent.
He and Michael Jackson - who was born in the same year - were close friends, and Lester became godfather to the singer's three children.
Richards took on a few small acting jobs throughout her childhood, but shot to fame playing Lex Murphy in 1993's Jurassic Park - a role she filmed when she was just 12 years old.
She briefly reprised the role for The Lost World: Jurassic Park four years later, but then took a step back from acting to focus on her art career.
Richards graduated in 2001 with a degree in fine art and drama and went on to become a successful painter.
But, in 2011, she said: "Being interested in acting never changes. Acting is in your blood, and of course I'll always be interested in it."
Which explains why she was briefly tempted back in 2013 for a role in TV movie Battledogs.

But it was not always this way.
The staple of the 31 October vegetable-based lantern was a turnip, or swede - or a neep as they are fondly known in Scotland.
Is the tradition of hollowing out the much tougher innards of a neep now long dead, or does it still survive in Scottish households?
Donna Heddle, professor of Northern Studies, at the University of the Highlands and Islands, says she remains committed to the hardy turnip.
She says: "This is a very old tradition in Scotland and Ireland based on will o' the wisps and Celtic mythology which settlers and emigrants took to the USA and, not really finding neeps, used pumpkins.
"The whole Halloween celebration today has been taken over by the US version which bears no resemblance to ours."
Prof Heddle concedes that colourful pumpkins with their soft insides make for an easier proposition than a neep.
She adds: "Pumpkins are sold very cheaply up to Halloween.
"However, my husband uses a drill bit to hollow our neeps out."
A Halloween lantern from a turnip, or a swede, can be made with a basic kitchen knife and spoon. But kids, always have a responsible grown-up ghoul to hand when sharp utensils are being used.
For this demonstration, a little spooky werewolf assisted, obviously.
Rachel Chisholm, curator of collections at the Highland Folk Museum in Newtonmore, remembers fondly the making of neep lanterns in her home.
She says: "I remember making our lanterns - or rather my dad making the lanterns - as they were extremely hard thing to do."
After a search through the museum's archives for details on the tradition of turnip lanterns, she says: "The only thing I found was the fact that as the summer came to an end people celebrated the great festival of Samhain.
"It was at this time that it was believed the dead could return to earth so at that time you went out masked to scare the evil spirits and having a light would also help to keep you safe.
"It was a custom that bonfires were lit also to scare the evil spirits."
The curator says: "Last year, we held a Halloween day here at the museum and had children, and adults, making turnip lanterns.
"It was great to see the traditional lanterns rather than pumpkins."
On other Scottish Halloween tradition, she adds: "My mother grew up on Skye and she tells of tricks that were played by the young men of the village.
"Gates were removed and hidden in ditches and even cows were moved between crofts so that by morning you never knew where to find your cattle."
The party had been moving its ministers in and out of the executive after the murder of Kevin McGuigan sparked a political crisis over the IRA's status.
In a statement the party said its ministers would be reappointed on Tuesday.
It said this was as it now had an up-to-date assessment of paramilitaries.
DUP leader Peter Robinson resumed his job as Northern Ireland first minister after stepping aside in September.
He said: "The issue always for all of the parties was whether the parties in government were committed to peaceful and democratic means - the report confirms that that is the case as far as the leadership's concerned.
"But I think depressingly it indicates that that leadership isn't in entire control of the rest of the organisation."
He said although his party had reappointed its ministers, the political institutions remained in grave danger.
"I don't think that there's anybody in our community that could be satisfied that after this period in time that these [paramilitary] groups have not self-expired," he said.
"They should have, but it's quite clear that they're not going to take themselves off the stage in their entirety unless they are required to do so and I think that's what this talks process has to do.
"We have a talks process and without a satisfactory outcome to that talks process there wouldn't be a basis to have a sustainable executive and assembly. So we have a couple of weeks to save Stormont."
The DUP had come in for criticism from other assembly parties over its "in-out" ministers.
Mr Robinson announced he would step aside as Northern Ireland first minister on 10 September after the party failed to get enough support to adjourn the assembly.
Other DUP ministers also resigned, although Arlene Foster remained as finance minister and took over as acting first minister.
The Alliance Party said DUP ministers had "resigned and resumed office more than 20 times since 10 September 2015".
In its statement on Tuesday, the DUP said: "We sought an up-to-date assessment by the PSNI and security services to inform our future decisions. That is now available to us.
"It confirms the chief constable's August statement rather than the contradictory implications that flowed from the arrest of [Sinn Féin northern chairman] Bobby Storey, and on that basis ministers will be appointed to office later today."
Mr Storey, a former IRA prisoner, is the northern chairman of Sinn Féin.
He was one of three senior republicans arrested and later released without charge in connection with the murder of Mr McGuigan.
Belfast is due to be handed the games at the closing ceremony of the Bahamas Games on 23 July.
However, the business case was not signed off by the Northern Ireland Executive.
A meeting will be held on Tuesday to see if the Games can be saved.
The DUP has said that due to "Sinn Féin collapsing the assembly this project is unable to proceed".
Sinn Féin has blamed the collapse of Stormont on both the DUP and the British government.
About 1,000 young athletes are due to take part in the Games and it would have been a landmark event for Northern Ireland's centenary year.
Sports stars like Carl Frampton, Michael Conlon, Jessica Ennis Hill, Beth Tweddle and Louis Smith have all taken part in previous events.
The hosting rights were awarded to Northern Ireland in February 2016.
The business case for funding has been with the department of the economy, but was not approved by the former DUP economy minister Simon Hamilton and brought to the executive table.
The department said the games were not "value for money", but the BBC understands that ministers could still have approved the project if it had been discussed, and backed, by the Executive.
The BBC has seen a letter from Roy Millar MBE - former head coach of the Northern Ireland national under-21 football team - which was distributed among sporting organisations in Northern Ireland saying the games were now in "grave danger".
"Failure to hold on to these games will have serious implications for Northern Ireland's global reputation and may adversely impact future bids for other international sporting events with further local ramifications likely," he writes.
The president of the Commonwealth Games Federation, Louise Martin, and David Grevernberg, the federation's chief executive, will both be in Belfast for the meeting on Tuesday.
Ciaran Kearney from the Northern Ireland Sports Forum has said there is still a window of opportunity to save the Games.
"We're hoping that on Tuesday we'll be able to come to a resolution," he said.
"We don't want to go down the route of losing the Games, we still hope and we still expect that the Games will go ahead.
"The Games would be a wonderful opportunity to inspire our young athletes and give them something to work towards."
The DUP had made a commitment to Commonwealth sporting events in their most recent Westminster manifesto.
It stated: "Northern Ireland should seek to host Commonwealth political and sporting events."
A DUP spokesperson said: "As a result of Sinn Fein collapsing the Assembly, subsequent elections and the talks process, this project has been unable to proceed.
"Minister Hamilton, who was the then minister, could not approve funding for the Commonwealth Games."
A spokesperson for the Department for the Economy said: "Officials have been unable to commit to funding this event as, despite the best efforts of all involved, it has not been possible to approve the business case because it does not demonstrate value for money.
"The Northern Ireland Commonwealth Games Council (NICGC) will be proceeding at its own risk in the event that it opts to accept the hosting rights without confirmation of support."
A spokesperson for the Commonwealth Games Federation said: "The Belfast 2021 Commonwealth Youth Games will be a proud and inspiring opportunity to put the Commonwealth's finest young athletes and Northern Ireland's ambitious sporting fraternity on the global sporting stage.
"With over four years to go, we're optimistic that all partners will come together to realise their shared legacy ambitions for this special event."
A Sinn Féin spokesperson said: "Martin McGuinness brought an end to the arrogance of the DUP in the midst of allegations of corruption and the RHI financial scandal.
"He also took a stand against their disrespect and discrimination to certain sections of our society including the Irish language community, the LGB and T communities and ethnic minorities.
"Both the DUP and the British government know what is required in order to get the institutions back up but so far they have displayed no political will to enable that happening."
Mark Noble's penalty cancelled out Matic Crnic's spot-kick for the hosts, but the Premier League side faded.
Crnic curled home a second, and Adrian had to save well from Amedej Vetrih to prevent a bigger margin of defeat.
Next week's second leg will be the first competitive game played at the Olympic Stadium, West Ham's new home.
The match looks set to be a sell-out, played in front of more than 50,000 fans.
Noble's penalty has given West Ham an away goal that means a 1-0 win in the home leg will take them through.
But, in front of barely 3,000 in Ljubljana - the game was moved from the home of Domzale, they looked well short of match sharpness.
Crnic and Noble exchanged early penalties - with Domzale's awarded for a Havard Nordtveit handball and West Ham's for a foul on Winston Reid.
The Hammers were without last season's standout player Dimitri Payet, and while new signing Sofiane Feghouli enjoyed an impressive start, he barely had a touch in the second half.
Michail Antonio was at fault for Crnic's second goal and looked fragile all night, while former Leeds full-back Sam Byram looked makeshift on the left.
First-choice Aaron Cresswell is set to be out for four months with a knee injury and Bilic may need to enter the transfer market before the start of the season.
West Ham assistant manager Nikola Jurcevic:
"Our performance was not so good, and maybe I can say it was average in the first half and it was 1-1. We were not satisfied with this result and in the second half we played badly.
"I am sure we will be better next week. It will be very difficult but I'm optimistic and I hope it will be a different game in the Olympic Stadium.
"We must be better. We must win this game in our stadium because we also have big ambitions in Europe, but it will be very tough because Domzale showed they are a good team."
The annual Newport Survey was one of the most significant results of a documentary photography course launched by David Hurn in 1973.
Senior lecturer Dr Paul Cabuts said the course enjoyed a worldwide reputation.
"People come to study photography at Newport because they see it as a centre of excellence," he said.
In pictures: Newport life in 1980s
Photography was first taught at the then School of Art, part of the Newport Technical Institute, in 1912.
School head William Bush was a keen amateur photographer who had judged the discipline at three National Eisteddfodau.
But Dr Cabuts said the thrust of the course was very different in those days.
"Despite being at an art school, the class was very much more technical, with engineering and industry driving it," he said.
"It enters the field of the arts more in the 1960s, when people like the painter David Hockney would visit."
The Swinging Sixties saw the emergence of the photographer as personality, with the likes of David Bailey, Terence Donovan and Brian Duffy becoming as famous as the stars they portrayed.
But Dr Cabuts says it was another figure who was particularly significant where Newport was concerned.
"It really took off when Magnum photographer David Hurn decided to return to Wales and set up a documentary photography course in what was the Gwent College of Higher Education in 1973," he said.
"He was interested in teaching photography in a humanist sense, to make the world a better place, encouraging students to say something about the world."
Hurn's presence at the college was a draw for visits by major photographers such as Henri Cartier-Bresson and Don Cullen, while others including Ron McCormick and John Charity joined the college staff.
Students of photography at Newport have included the war and landscape photographer Simon Norfolk, and Paul Rees, a current member of staff whose work represented Britain at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
Recent students to have made an impact include Anastasia Taylor-Lind, who won a Guardian newspaper award in 2006 for her photos of Kurdish warrior women in northern Iraq, and Matt Dunham, who captured images of the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall's car caught up in the London riots of 2011.
The centenary is being marked by a series of events throughout the year, including the current exhibition based on the Newport Survey, which documented the changing face of local life during the 1980s.
A special event on Thursday will be attended by staff, students, and some of the people who appeared in the original photos.
Dr Cabuts said Newport had grown in reputation since being one of only a handful of UK colleges teaching documentary photography in the 1970s.
He said it now taught around 600 students from foundation level to PhD, and was globally renowned.
"We accept students from the USA, Japan, China, all over the world," he said.
"People come to study photography at Newport because they see it as a centre of excellence."
That was the verdict of George Osborne's former advisor, Rupert Harrison, as it became clear that the Conservatives are likely to need Democratic Unionist Party support to form a government.
But what price could the DUP extract?
One demand could be that EU funds, that will be lost as a result of Brexit, are replaced in full.
Northern Ireland agricultural industry benefits from about £350m a year in EU agricultural subsidies.
There are additional payments under the Peace and Interreg programmes which are aimed at community development and cross-border projects.
These programmes are due to spend about £400m in the period between 2016 and 2020.
Last August, Northern Ireland's then first minister and deputy first ministers wrote to Theresa May warning that "the absence of EU programmes in the future is of real concern to a range of sectors".
The DUP may also want money for the Northern Ireland Investment Fund.
It is essentially a public/private infrastructure fund which was first proposed by the then DUP finance minister Simon Hamilton in 2014.
It was hoped that the European Investment Bank (EIB) would help seed the fund, but after Brexit the EIB stepped back.
There is also the issue of corporation tax.
The main parties in Northern Ireland want the power to set their own corporation tax rate.
They also want to cut the rate to 12.5% (compared to the current UK rate of 19%.)
That cut in the rate will mean less revenue is collected for the Treasury.
EU rules mean the NI Executive would have to make up the shortfall through a cut in the block grant it receives from Westminster.
The Treasury wants to continue that principle even after the UK has left the EU, which is likely to mean a cost to Stormont of at least £100m a year.
The DUP could use its leverage to get the Treasury to significantly reduce that cost.

The pair were due to fight in Las Vegas in January, but the bout was cancelled at the 11th hour when Barros failed a medical exam.
Welshman Selby, 30, feels higher-profile fights await after finally getting past his mandatory challenger.
"Getting Barros out of the way frees me up for the big fights," he said.
"It's been a long time coming, and on Saturday night, I'm looking forward to putting on a show and to see the back of Jonathan Barros."
The original fight was on the undercard of the WBA tight fight between Leo Santa Cruz and Carl Frampton, with the winners then set to meet in a unification fight.
But those plans were ruined when Barros was forced to withdraw 24 hours before the bout, with the Nevada Athletic Commission saying the Argentine had "not met fight requirements".
Cruz, who took Frampton's title, then suggested he was open to an unification fight with Selby, but the IBF ordered a mandatory defence with Barros after concerns over the 33-year-old's health were allayed.
"He's not this big, mean monster I've been making him out to be in my head," said Selby, who met Barros for the first time at Friday's weigh-in.
"He's very good, he's very strong. It's going to be a tough fight, but one I'm confident of winning. I believe I can beat anybody."

Selby has decided to proceed with the fight against Barros despite the sudden death of his mother, Frankie, on Tuesday.
This will be only his third defence of the title he won by beating Evgeny Gradovich in May 2015 at the O2 Arena, highlighting the inactivity that has stalled his progress towards higher-profile opponents.
With no UK promoter, Selby knows he needs to deliver a convincing performance to raise his profile and attract the division's leading performers.
"Without the right opponent I can't see me headlining shows," he added.
The inventions are among those picked to represent various nations in the engineering prize.
Their makers were challenged to "design something that solves a problem".
More than 600 entries from 18 countries were entered into this year's competition.
It was open to university level students and recent graduates.
The contest is run by the James Dyson Foundation, a charity created by the vacuum cleaner creator to help young people develop engineering skills.
In an age when crowdfunding sites, such as Kickstarter and Indiegogo, exist to champion inventions that have yet to go on the market, such competitions still serve a valuable purpose, said one expert.
"The James Dyson Award provides a platform to showcase some of the very best new innovations in science, engineering and technology," Dr William Webb, deputy president of the Institution of Engineering and Technology, told the BBC.
"Whilst some of the entries might not make it beyond the prototype stage, the award provides a crucial role in encouraging new engineering talent, which the UK and other countries around the world so desperately need."
Below are a selection of the winners, which along with some of the runners-up will compete for a cash prize to be announced on 6 November.
Food labels filled with gelatine become bumpy to signal if the food inside has spoiled.
Current expiration dates are not always accurate - for example they do not take account of the fact that the meat, juice or vegetables inside might not have been refrigerated properly.
Bump Mark tackles the problem by allowing the producer to set the gelatine to decay at the same rate as the package's contents - the higher the concentration, the longer it takes to turn from a solid into a liquid.
Once the gelatine has changed state, bumps built into the plastic underneath can be felt, providing a tactile safety check.
Kit to inspect a beehive without having to open it up.
The measuring instrument is inserted into the hive, and then a pneumatic system allows the apiarist to select a single bee, which can be examined in isolation at length.
The idea is that this minimises disruption to the hive's climate, reducing the risk that the other insects will stop work.
The creators suggest Mima could be used to understand the increase in bee colony collapses.
A device to 3D print complex structures that mimic the epidermal and dermal layers of human skin.
These can be used to close the wounds of severe burn victims in order to help them recover.
The machine works by placing two types of human cell - keratinocytes and fibroblasts - layer-by-layer into a hydrogel to create the desired patterns.
The designers say early tests suggest that the resulting 3D-printed "skin" can be used to reduce the amount of time doctors need to wait before attempting to graft on real skin taken from a different part of the victim's body.
A device that heats liquid in a glass or other container, helping reduce wastage and cleaning.
The product consists of an induction base that plugs into the mains, which heats a rod placed inside the vessel.
Miito does not have an on/off button - instead it powers down when the base detects that the rod is not present or that the liquid has boiled.
A new fastening mechanism for backpacks that is designed to be safer than existing alternatives for mountaineers.
The system places the straps of the bag into a cross, with a buckle at the centre that can be split to allow the bag to be taken off with just one hand.
The idea is to minimise the risk involved in unpacking food, drink and emergency equipment when the climber is at a precarious spot.
Offering an alternative to barbeque and camping stoves, Solari promises to be an eco-friendly way to cook food outdoors.
The portable device is designed to use solar power to heat meals for between four to six people within a few hours.
It works by letting in light through its transparent lid, which then passes through a lens that directs it around an aluminium shell.
The design also incorporates a temperature gauge that transmits information about the food's progress to a smartphone app.
A vehicle for people with disabled lower limbs that allows them to move while both sitting down and standing up, and to move between the two positions.
Rather than rely on expensive and heavy motors, the machine uses the person's upper body motion to transfer them from one position to the other.
Qolo also uses a similar mechanism to help them move location: by tilting their upper-body forward they start travelling forward, and if they twist to one side the chair turns that way.
A tap gadget designed to encourage children to wash their hands, which also saves water in the process.
TipTapTop contains an infrared sensor that starts the water flow when it detects a hand underneath and also triggers a "jolly" music jingle.
When the child removes their hands to add soap, the water stops but the music continues playing to remind them they need to follow up the initial rinse.
Only after they have returned their hands, wiped off the soap and removed them again to dry their skin will the music and water switch off, ending the cycle.
A device that combines a doctor's tongue stick with a light source.
The light is automatically switched on by attaching a disposable, sterile stick to the handle, and is deactivated when the stick is subsequently discarded.
The idea is that Oralux frees up one of the doctor's hands and allows them to avoid touching the stick while it is in use.
A personal shopping trolley that can be collapsed and loaded into a car's boot without having to remove the goods carried inside.
Uplift's aluminium frame helps it remain lightweight, while its bright silicone handles both protect the kit and make the owner more visible.
The designer says it would be targeted at aging adults.
A device intended to make it easier to administer vaccinations to a specific layer of skin.
The designers say medical staff often struggle to find the right depth and angle when using existing syringes to carry out intradermal vaccinations, which are less painful and can obtain an improved immune response when compared to intramuscular or subcutaneous injections.
After Vax ID's plunger is used to deliver a dose of antigens, the needle returns to the body of the device and cannot be reused.
This reduces the risk of needlestick injuries to staff, and prevents medics transmitting diseases from one patient to another.
A biodegradable fishing net system.
An additive added to the net causes it to start breaking apart after four years, to address the problem of abandoned "ghost nets" that pose a threat to the marine environment.
Remora also incorporates RFID (radio-frequency identification) tags. These are scanned when the net is retrieved so that the fishermen can get an instant report from an associated app about whether parts have ripped off.
This tells them if they need to search the surrounding sea to find the lost parts.
Five levels of LED-lit, water-and-nutrient-fed containers that provide a way to grow vegetables and fruits in the home or at schools.
The wires and hoses are hidden inside the apparatus, which is intended to be visually pleasing so that it can be left out in view.
The owner can opt to combine different parts of the Home Hydroponic System to suit how much space they have and the amount of produce they want to grow.
The designers suggest that tomatoes, peppers, strawberries and herbs are some of the fresh produce that could be grown up to three times faster than in soil outdoors.
A system to connect a feeding tube to a patient's face without using tape, which can become an irritant.
Nutria also makes use of a terahertz radiation microchip to display the exact position of the tube inside the person's body on a smartphone app.
If the nurse or doctor who fits the patient with the apparatus takes a scan each time, software can then be used to highlight if any of the medics commonly fit the tube incorrectly.
But the other clubs in the play-offs, London Irish and Yorkshire Carnegie, would do so.
Irish and Carnegie have met the Rugby Football Union's minimum standards to play in the top tier in 2017-18.
Preferring Championship rugby for next term, Doncaster, in fourth, and Ealing, in third, did not apply for that audit.
A statement from Doncaster - who would have gone up if they had beaten Bristol in the 2015-16 play-off final - said they currently do not believe it is in the club's best interests to be promoted.
"Having previously looked at promotion we feel it is simply unaffordable and out of our reach in the current structure and financial arrangement for professional rugby union in England," Knights president Tony De Mulder and chief executive David Ryall said.
"If and when the future of professional rugby union in England becomes clear, then the ambition of Doncaster Rugby Club remains as fervent as ever but we will not cripple ourselves chasing something that is not feasible at this time."
This year's semi-finals, which take place over two legs, start with Yorkshire's trip to Ealing on Friday, before Doncaster host London Irish on Sunday, 30 April.
London Irish finished top of the Championship table in the regular season, with Yorkshire Carnegie second.
From 2017-18, the Championship play-offs have been scrapped, meaning the league winners next term will be set for automatic promotion instead.
Kieron Cadogan and Adam Coombes both threatened as Sutton made a decent start, but their hard work was undone in cruel fashion just before the break.
Shamir Fenelon and the in-demand Idris Kanu created havoc with a searing counter-attack for the Shots, before Nicky Bailey's attempted clearance went in for an own goal off goalkeeper Will Puddy after 42 minutes.
Bernard Mensah made sure of the win in stoppage time, lashing home after good work from Anthony Straker, ensuring Aldershot remain seventh and within reach of the play-off places.

Boys as young as 12 were among the 27 youngsters who were taken in by George Heriot's school in 1916, after making a remarkable escape from Serbia as it fell to the armies of Germany and its allies.
Other refugees found homes in Glasgow, Dundee and Aberdeen.
They were among the lucky ones who survived a "retreat" over the mountains of Albania and Montenegro the previous winter, during which about 8,000 boys died. Many fell victim to the cold, starvation and disease; others were shot by the Albanians.
Within a few years the lives of these boys had been transformed. And in their later years many of the refugees credited Scotland - and George Heriot's - with giving them a second chance at rebuilding their lives.
The first 10 prospective Herioters arrived at Edinburgh's Waverley station in August 1916 - just before the start of the new school term.
Historian Louise Miller, who has researched the "Serbian Boys", said they had survived unimaginable horrors and they had barely a word of English between them.
But she added: "They were embraced by the school and supported by the generosity of the people of Edinburgh during the war years until they were able to return to what remained of their homes."
The school played host to the boys for three years, and several shone academically. However it was on the rugby field where they gained fame.
Historian Ms Miller said: "These boys, who had never played rugby before, embraced the game and showed extraordinary and unexpected talent.
"Several were good enough to join the 1stXV, where they played alongside future Scottish internationalists like Daniel Drysdale."
They went to form the first Serbian national rugby team for a match played at Inverleith in 1918, and they established it as a sport in their home country on their return.
Many of the boy refugees embarked on successful careers, enjoying healthy, happy lives and maintaining lifelong links with Scotland and Heriot's.
Aged just 15, Živojin arrived in Edinburgh in November 1916, speaking no English.
But the boy who months earlier had escaped Serbia and survived a mid-winter retreat, excelled in both the classroom and on the rugby field.
He went on to study civil engineering at the University of Edinburgh and when he returned home, he helped with the reconstruction of Serbia following the war.
His experience in Scotland changed his life completely, according to Živojin's granddaughter, Jelena Stankovic, who is among the relatives returning to Edinburgh this week to remember the boy refugees.
"He loved Great Britain and particularly Scotland as much as his native Serbia, and was extremely grateful to British people for all they had done for him," she said.
He built his home in Serbia in "British style" and he sang English nursery rhymes to his granddaughter when she was a child - songs she now sings to her grandson.
"Besides getting the very best education, he also adopted the British way of life," she said.
In 1982, 65 years after he left the school and, by then in his 80s, Živojin reflected on his time in Edinburgh.
"It makes me sad that I am not able to revisit Edinburgh and see the school once more," he said.
"My years do not permit me to make such a long journey but I often think of Edinburgh and my friends there."
After escaping from Serbia at the beginning of the Great War, the teenage Stevan Djordjević travelled first to Corfu before he was rescued by a British boat.
He eventually made his home in Glasgow, where he enrolled at Hillhead High School, before studying medicine at the University of Glasgow.
His family remember him talking about being cold and hungry while he was a student, when he often ate lard on bread.
But his experience in Scotland "totally changed his life", according to his daughter, Zora Buchanan, and he only returned to Serbia for family visits.
He changed his name to "Stevan George", worked as a family doctor in Glasgow, and married his Scottish sweetheart, Margaret. Within six years, they had three children.
After World War Two, he became a ship's doctor with Cunard Line and eventually settled in the Bahamas. He died in 1967, aged 67, and is buried in Nassau.
Mrs Buchanan, who is travelling from Canada for the events in Edinburgh, said: "As his youngest daughter I am very proud of what a young Serbian lad could accomplish."
Both the Serbian Ambassador to Great Britain, Dr Ognjen Pribicevic, and the British Ambassador to Serbia, Denis Keefe, will join 17 of the boys' descendents in Edinburgh this week.
As well as visits to the school and the rugby pitches, some of their relatives will reflect on their lives at a special event at the National Library of Scotland.
In conversation with Ms Miller, they will discuss the boys' experiences in Edinburgh and their lives after returning home. The event, on Monday, starts at 18:00.
Henry VIII's flagship has undergone 34 years of conservation since it was raised from the Solent in 1982.
Small viewing panels have been replaced with floor-to-ceiling windows and a balcony entered through an airlock, at the purpose-built museum in Portsmouth.
Conservation manager Dr Eleanor Schofield said it was an "emotional" moment.
"You think about all the people involved in the project and their commitment and perseverance. It's fabulous to see the ship like this.
"It feels like you can reach out an touch it - you get a sense of the compartments and relate it to all the artefacts and the people on board," she added.
The warship, which sank in 1545 while leading an attack on a French invasion fleet, was discovered in 1971.
It was taken to an atmospherically controlled dry dock where it was sprayed with a mist of cold water, then water-soluble wax, before an air-drying process began.
The latest development, which saw the ship close to public view in November, cost about £5.4 million to complete.
The £39m museum first opened its doors to visitors in May 2013. The ship goes back on public view on Wednesday.
Dr Alex Hildred, head of research and curator of ordnance, who was among those who dived on the wreck in the 1970s and 80s said: "When we excavated the Mary Rose we wanted people to see even a little of what we, as archaeologists, saw and experienced underwater.
"The fact that you can see it from three different angles that you've never been able to see before, except for when she first came up, is brilliant."
Ahead of Saturday's game at Twickenham, new England coach Jones criticised Ireland's tactics, specifically the kicking away of possession.
"Someone like Eddie is going to throw things out there," said Easterby, 40, holder of 65 Ireland caps at flanker.
"We have just got to focus on what we're doing."
Easterby says Ireland must laugh off the barbs from England's new boss, who has already freely admitted he will chase any available edge, including the use of mind games.
"It is what it is," added Easterby. "Characters like that are good for the game, and we'll see come Saturday night how much of that rings true."
On Monday, Jones said that he was preparing his England side for an aerial bombardment from the two-time defending Six Nations champions.
"They kick 70% of their ball away. If they want to do that, good luck to them," said the England coach.
"It has worked for them. It is not the way I think you should play rugby, but it has been successful for them, so good luck."
Prior to the England coach's comments on Monday, Irish boss Joe Schmidt had reacted to a previous Jones' jibe that Ireland play safety-first rugby, insisting: "Ireland have kicked less than a quarter of the possession we have had."
The Six Nations' own stats support Schmidt's view, with Ireland recorded as kicking away 23% and 24% of possession respectively in their first two matches of the 2016 tournament.
The injury-ravaged Irish will chase their first win at Twickenham since 2010 after drawing their opener against Wales and losing narrowly to France on 13 February.
The Met said a black Mercedes, which is thought to have been stolen, reversed into the Gucci store in Sloane Street at about 21:50 GMT on Wednesday.
The suspects, said to be three, then stole handbags before fleeing in a blue Audi A4. No arrests have yet been made.
Security guards were in the shop at the time but were said to be unhurt.
The exclusive store, which Gucci describe on their website as a "flagship boutique", is said to be reviewing its security and there are calls for greater protection from the Metropolitan Police.
BBC journalist Nick Beake, who is at the scene, said sources have told him that CCTV shows the men, who were wearing balaclavas, scoop the bags up and sling them across their shoulders.
Three conscripts were also also wounded when gunmen opened fire at the checkpoint in the town of El-Arish.
Security forces were searching for the attackers, who managed to flee.

Vallop Suwandee, who chairs an advisory board to the governor of Bangkok, was quoted as saying that street vendors would be removed from all 50 districts of the city.
It seemed that one of the most popular and distinctive aspects of Bangkok life was to be wiped out, days after CNN had voted Bangkok the best place in the world for street food, and just two months before the city government was planning to hold a street-food festival.
Mr Vallop now says he was misquoted: "Let me be clear, on behalf of the city of Bangkok. Street food will continue to be part of Bangkok life, on the condition that there will not be obstructions for pedestrians, and that the vendors observe sanitary rules in the interest of public health.
"We will allow them to be in certain areas, under strict conditions."
This is not the first time the Bangkok Metropolitan Authority (BMA), which is responsible for running the city, has tried to impose order and standards on the hundreds of thousands of food vendors operating on the streets.
Right after the BMA was first established in 1972 it launched a similar campaign to force the vendors to operate in designated markets instead.
Variations of that campaign were revived every few years but implementation has always been weak because the BMA recognised the vital role street vending played in providing a source of income in difficult economic times. Most of the time it has quietly chosen not to push too hard.
This time may be different. The number of officially approved locations for street food vendors has been cut dramatically, from a peak of 726 four years ago to 243 by the end of last year.
Tens of thousands of vendors have been forced to move already, leaving many downtown areas like Siam Square, Asok and Silom with few or no street-food stalls now visible during the day and night.
The most recent area to be cleared is the increasingly wealthy neighbourhood of Thonglor. A small side street, or soi, which for many years had been famous for its street food, is no more, although city officials say the vendors were offered alternative locations in smaller sois further away.
The BMA is not being specific about its ultimate plans but it looks as though it aims to have street-food confined to a very few well-known city-centre areas, like the backpacker hangout of Khao San Road and Yaowarat Road, which runs through the historic Chinatown area, and to be more widely permitted in outer city neighbourhoods.
With growing numbers of tourists and commuters coming into the downtown area, Mr Vallop says there is not enough space for street vendors.
A vendor may occupy a space where land prices run to many thousands of dollars per square metre, he told me - why should one person have that privilege? He said the BMA had received many complaints about blocked pavements.
These arguments, though, have been lost in the furore over the perceived threat to the city's much-loved street-cuisine.
Chawadee Nulkair is a self-styled street food fanatic who publishes a blog, bangkokglutton.com, cataloguing her culinary discoveries. She opposes the BMA's move against the vendors, even though she acknowledges the inconvenience to pedestrians.
"As much as we complain about the clutter and the chaos," she told me, "this is what defines us.
"This street food is Thai culture. Motorbikes drive on the pavements here. Even without the vendors the pavements would still be awful."
Chawadee took me to Yaowarat Road, sometimes described as the birthplace of street food, and still one of the best places to eat in Bangkok.
She explained how the Chinese immigrants, who settled in large numbers in the 19th Century, began cooking food along the roadsides to make a living, using simple stoves and iron woks.
That style of cooking, along with classic Chinese ingredients like noodles, significantly changed Thai cooking.
Street food has also become an essential service for the growing numbers of commuters, who may have long journeys to and from work, and limited time and space to cook at home.
We passed a number of stalls sending out mouth-watering aromas into the night air, before settling on a stall Chawadee knew would cook an excellent prawn noodle hot pot, a classic Thai-Chinese dish.
The kitchen was set out on the front steps of a bank, with the chef cooking fried rice and noodle dishes at lightning speed, sheets of flame curling around his blazing wok.
The stall has been run by Voracha Rujarawan and her family for three generations. She is worried by the city government's plans. Already she has to make regular payments to local officials and the police. Now they are insisting she needs proper dish-washing facilities, although it is not clear how they can do that without running water.
On cue, a uniformed municipal officer arrived and started questioning her at length about how she would meet the tougher new hygiene standards.
The city's argument that public demand for better pedestrian access has also been challenged by a survey carried out by the Urban Design and Development Centre, a city planning project started by the architecture faculty at Chulalongkorn University, which is actually campaigning to make walking better in Bangkok.
The UDDC Director, Niramon Kulsirisombat, says the survey of more than 1,000 respondents showed that food vendors were not considered the worst problem; in fact Bangkok's typically narrow pavements are such an obstacle course of electricity poles, hydrants, disused phone boxes and road signs that pedestrians usually find themselves walking in the road even without food stalls.
She said there were too few channels for Bangkok's residents to have their views heard by the city government; that it took too much of a government-knows-best, top-down approach to development.
This criticism has also been applied to the BMA's controversial decision to demolish a historic community in old Bangkok to make way for a tourist park, and its ambitious plan to build a concrete walkway 10m (33ft) wide and 14km (nine miles) long, along the bank of the Chaophraya river.
"The reasons the BMA gives for moving the street food, blocking the pavements and hygiene, are not enough. Like Singapore 50 years ago, when Lee Kwan Yew began modernising the city, they said we have to move all this street food chaos, that it is a symbol of a third world country. But actually, in Bangkok, you should see street food as a form of life support for so many people."
The name, suggested by former BBC Radio Jersey presenter James Hand, went viral, crashing the Natural Environment Research Council (Nerc) website.
Boaty McBoatface was the runaway winner with 124,109 votes. The second most popular choice, Poppy-Mai, had 34,371.
Nerc said that according to its competition rules it would have the final say on any name.
The result of the poll has sparked a mixed reaction on social media.
One person commented: "If this boat isn't named Boaty McBoatface, then democracy has failed", while another said "this was funny, but bored now".
Meanwhile, another wrote on Facebook: "Not a name that will inspire confidence in its ability to provide credible research".
RRS Boaty McBoatface - 124,109
RRS Poppy-Mai - 34,371
RRS Henry Worsley - 15,231
RRS It's Bloody Cold Here - 10,679
RRS David Attenborough - 10,284
At the height of the furore, Mr Hand tweeted an apology, but said that the storm his suggestion had created "had legs of its own".
The Royal Research Ship (RRS), which is currently being built by Cammell Laird on Merseyside, is due to become operational in 2019 and will replace RRS Ernest Shackleton and James Clark Ross.
It will study ice sheets, ocean currents and marine life as part of the Cambridge-based British Antarctic Survey.
When it launched the competition, Nerc said it was looking for "something inspirational" that would exemplify the ship's work, but that did not prevent people making suggestions which also included Pingu and It's Bloody Cold Here.
Usain Boat and What Iceberg? had been among nearly 7,000 other suggestions.
A spokesperson for NERC said: "Thank you to everyone who has taken part in the Natural Environment Research Council's Name Our Ship campaign.
"We've had an extremely high volume of suggestions and will now review all of the suggested names.

A 43-year-old man was found at a house in Shirley Terrace, Gomersal, on Friday at about 18:30 GMT, said West Yorkshire Police.
He had been attacked and was treated by paramedics but died at the scene, said the force.
A 47-year-old woman and 26-year-old man have been arrested on suspicion of murder and are in police custody.
Police are appealing for witnesses who saw anything around Shirley Terrace.
The date has to be confirmed by parliament, but that is a formality.
The 22 May vote was annulled last week, after a legal challenge from the far-right Freedom Party. It argued postal votes had been illegally and improperly handled.
Its candidate Norbert Hofer lost the election to the former Greens leader Alexander Van der Bellen by a sliver.
Mr Hofer garnered just 30,863 votes fewer than his rival - coming in at less than one percentage point behind.
the Freedom Party lodged a successful legal challenge to the results with the Constitutional Court - Austria's highest court.

Kern won't rule out working with far-right
In two weeks of hearings, it argued that postal ballots were illegally handled in 94 out of 117 districts, thousands of votes were opened earlier than permitted under election rules, and some were counted by people unauthorised to do so.
The party also claimed to have evidence that some under-16s and foreigners had been allowed to vote.
In its ruling, the court said election rules had been broken in a way that could have influenced the result.
But it said there was no proof the count had been manipulated.
Interior Minister Wolfgang Sobotka said afterwards he was "ashamed" by the scale of the "sloppiness" uncovered - which inspired tabloids to dub Austria a "banana republic".
Mr Hofer's party has based its election campaigns around concern over immigration and falling living standards for the less well-off.
If elected, Mr Hofer would become the first far-right head of state of an EU country.
His opponent, Mr Van der Bellen, is strongly pro-EU and has spoken of his dream for a border-free "United States of Europe".
It is a mostly ceremonial post. But the president does have the power to dissolve the National Council - the more powerful lower house of parliament. That triggers a general election.
The president can only do that once for a particular reason - he cannot use the same grounds to dissolve it again.
It is the chancellor's job to appoint government ministers. And the chancellor has the power to dismiss the government. But ministers have to be formally sworn in by the president.

Morriston hospital in Swansea wants to use super-microsurgery for lymphoedema patients who have damaged lymph nodes, often following cancer treatment.
It would see a surgeon joining miniscule lymph vessels to veins to help drain excess fluid that builds up.
The condition causes massively swollen limbs, poor mobility and infections.
It can also lead to anxiety and depression, costing the NHS about £6,000 for each patient every year.
Until now, people with the condition have had to wear compression garments for the rest of their lives and take medication.
But, if supported by other health boards, about 42 patients a year could be cured by the microsurgery under the all-Wales service.
Amar Ghattaura, a consultant plastic surgeon who is the only trained super-microsurgeon in Wales, said the surgery would "bypass the blockage", joining together narrow lymph vessels and veins.
"It's simple plumbing - diverting a blocked flow to where there is a good flow," he said.
Earlier this year the health board was awarded a £250,000 Welsh government grant to help develop the technique as part of the Curing Lymphatic Programme (CLP).
If the programme is approved, Morriston Hospital would be one of only two UK hospitals to offer the surgery.
In addition, a mobile unit, funded by the charity Tenovus and the Welsh government, would travel around Wales, scanning people to see if they are eligible for the surgery.
Mr Ghattaura said the benefits of the new service would be enormous.
"Patients who now need compression garments will either not need them at all or need them far less. For these patients, this is a cure," he added.
"There will also be less infection, if any, so they will not have to keep going to their GP for antibiotics. There will also be a reduced risk of skin problems like ulceration."
Injury-plagued Sturridge, 26, has been out with a hamstring problem since early December and will not feature against Sunderland on Saturday.
"Daniel has been back in training two days and that is great, so everything looks good in this moment," said Klopp.
"What Daniel needs, what each player needs, is consistent training, training, training."
Sturridge has played just six games for Liverpool this term, having been ruled out by injuries to his knee and foot as well as his hamstring.
The England international missed the end of last season and all of pre-season with a hip problem and has been unfit for more days of his Reds career than he has been available for.
"Obviously there were a few problems in the past with a few injuries, not just since I was here, and that is part of the truth, but this is the past and it would be cool if we could leave it there and we can start from now on," said Klopp.
"We tried everything we could to bring him to this shape and now we are in the moment when hopefully we can get the benefit of this work."
Striker Divock Origi and midfielder Philippe Coutinho also returned to training with Sturridge this week, and all three could feature in Tuesday's FA Cup fourth-round replay with West Ham.
"Divock, Phil and Daniel are in training and you think after five minutes we should put them in the squad?" said Klopp, whose side are eighth in the Premier League.
"That is the moment when you have to say 'Come on, we have to have another three sessions which we can use and maybe be available for West Ham."
At Friday's media conference, Klopp faced questions about Sturridge's future following reports that the former Chelsea and Manchester City forward is considering leaving Anfield.
"If someone wants to ask me something about what they have heard about, then they can ask me, but not 'suggestions' - I am not interested in this," the German said.
"The Daniel story is not a story. How can it be a story? You cannot create stories and then ask me.
"If someone wants to say something, at least write your name under it and don't suggest something that is not too cool. There is absolutely nothing to say about it. I have heard nothing."
However, former Chelsea, Blackburn Rovers and Norwich striker Chris Sutton said he would not be surprised if the forward wanted to leave Anfield and pointed to Klopp's frustration with the player.
In November, the German said Sturridge had to learn "what is serious pain and what is only pain" after another injury setback had ruled him out of a Europa League game shortly before kick-off.
And Sutton told BBC Radio 5 live: "I think there's something in it. Go back to November and Klopp was questioning his mentality. In football terms, people would say that Daniel Sturridge has a heart the size of a pea.
"When your manager is questioning you - and managers are careful with what they say - Klopp is frustrated with him.
"I'm not disputing his talent, he's a world-class player, but can you trust him?"

FDJ.fr's Nacer Bouhanni secured the red jersey for the best sprinter after finishing the stage in fourth.
Julian Arredondo, riding for Trek, was crowned King of the Mountains, while Quintana also won the white jersey for topping the young rider classification.
It was a largely processional final stage until the last 50km, when the sprinters picked up the pace during eight circuits of Trieste.
Quintana, the first Colombian to win the race, rode a special pink bicycle, matching the colour he wore as race leader.
He finished safely in the middle of the pack, pumping his fist as he crossed the line before hugging his team-mates after climbing off his bike.
"It's really emotional," said Quintana. "I didn't think there would be so many Colombians here today. It was incredible seeing how much support and how many banners there were.
"I've learnt to overcome adversity and to manage a team over three weeks, to be a leader."
Victory in Tuesday's gruelling 16th stage over the Gavia and Stelvio climbs was decisive, as he turned a deficit of 2:40 on Omega Pharma-Quick-Step's Uran into a lead of 1:41.
But confusion over whether the descent from the summit of the Stelvio had been neutralised because of safety fears caused chaos and anger among other teams.
Quintana extended his advantage by winning a mountain time trial three days later.
He was second to Britain's Chris Froome in the 2013 Tour de France but is not planning to enter the race this year.

Militias are said to have recruited 6,000-10,000 children to work as soldiers, messengers or cooks.
The UN children's agency, Unicef, says it now needs to see the agreement put into practice.
Unicef says the CAR conflict "has created one of the world's worst - and least visible - humanitarian crises".
CAR has been wracked by violence since a mainly Muslim rebel group seized power in March 2013.
The Seleka group was then ousted, sparking a wave of violent reprisals against the Muslim population, thousands of whom fled their homes.
Government representatives, leaders of armed groups and UN agencies negotiated the deal during a week of talks in the CAR capital, Bangui.
Unicef chief in CAR Mohamed Malick Fall described it as "a major step forward for the protection of children".
But Unicef is cautious and wants immediate access to areas under the control of armed groups, and a strict timetable for the children's release, reports the BBC's Imogen Foulkes from Geneva, where Unicef is based.
Also the children will face a long rehabilitation, Unicef says.
A week-long national reconciliation forum began on Monday in Bangui bringing together politicians, armed groups, and religious leaders.
The talks are part of a process aimed at leading to new elections.
Jose Dirceu was sentenced to 32 years in prison over corruption charges linked to state oil company Petrobras.
The massive bribery scheme allegedly involved congressmen taking payments in exchange for votes.
But the country's supreme court has now ruled he could be placed under house arrest until his appeal is heard.
Dirceu, who was formerly the chief of staff to President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, has been imprisoned since August 2015.
Under Brazilian law, defendants usually have the right to a first judicial appeal before sentences are put into effect, the BBC's Julia Carneiro in Rio de Janeiro reports.
The so-called "Car Wash" scandal had placed Brazil in the depths of a political crisis, with lawmakers from all parties discredited by the culture of bribe-taking, our correspondent adds.
On the same day that that the supreme court ruled by three to two to release Dirceu, investigators filed fresh corruption allegations against him.
The investigation's chief prosecutor, Deltan Dallagnol, criticised the decision to release Dirceu.
"Jose Dirceu's freedom would pose a serious threat to society because of the seriousness of the crimes committed as well as the repetition of those crimes and the influence he has on the party's system," he said.
"A fact we see more and more in the 'Car Wash' is that corruption has permeated various levels of the government, which means that changing government won't have an impact on the possibility of new crimes."
Dirceu, now aged 71, was President Lula's right-hand man and one of the most powerful figures in government.
President Lula was not implicated in the scandal himself at the time, but has since faced a number of accusations.
Dirceu was once seen as possible successor to Mr Lula da Silva, until he was accused of being the mastermind behind the bribery scheme, and convicted on corruption and money laundering charges.
Instead, Mr Lula was succeeded by Dilma Rousseff, who was impeached in 2016 for manipulating government accounts, although she was never formally accused in the corruption scandal.
And as a British exporting success, what it says on how to win in export markets should probably be heard more widely (and see more on this from my colleague Kamal Ahmed).
Which is why its view is so striking, that the UK should vote to leave the EU, unless the prime minister secures a reduction in EU red tape on British business.
Because there is no evidence that David Cameron has a UK opt-out from business red tape on his shopping list when he visits Berlin, Paris and Brussels.
According to senior members of the government, the big things he is looking for are:
The noises out of European capitals suggest it is moot whether he and his main negotiator, George Osborne, will get all or any of these - though it is also clear that no leader wants to bundle the UK towards the exit.
But there is no suggestion that Cameron and Osborne are looking for an opt-out for British business from EU regulatory requirements.
To be clear, the single-market voting protection they want is to prevent the eurozone discriminating against non-members of the euro such as the UK when determining the rules of EU markets.
But if the UK gets the kind of "double-majority" voting system for the single market that it secured at the end of 2012 for banking regulation, that is not a bulwark against red tape, just a protection against red tape that is perceived to be disproportionately harmful to euro "outs".
In fact, Osborne and Cameron might take the precise opposite view of JCB - that one reason to stay in the EU is to keep up the British fight against burdensome and over-the-top business rules,
And when I talk to German officials, the reason they normally cite for wishing and hoping that the UK doesn't take the one-way ferry out of the EU is that they don't want to lose the UK's liberal-market advocacy in EU debates.
Probably what matters more about JCB's intervention is the other point it makes, which is that - in its view - British exporters would cope perfectly well if the UK struck out on its own.
In other words, the rattle of JCB's machinery is music to UKIP and the sceptic wing of the Tories.
But it is headache-inducing cacophony for Cameron and Osborne - because they are acutely aware that very big international businesses based in Britain, some of them British, some foreign, take a view that is diametrically opposed to JCB.
For them, seamless access to EU customers - and those in countries where the EU has negotiated bilateral trade agreements - is one of the big reasons they are based in Britain and invest in Britain.
It is why when I asked the Bank of England's governor Mark Carney on Wednesday whether the uncertainty about Britain's future membership of the EU could on its own have a negative impact on our economy, he acknowledged that it could - in that there is a risk of an investment hiatus, pending the referendum result.
Perhaps what JCB's intervention shows more than anything else is that expectations of what Osborne and Cameron can and should try to achieve in their EU negotiations are all over the shop.

This is an exciting move for me
He will provide competition at hooker for Neil Cochrane and Tom Lindsay.
"It's a great bonus to bring in Carlo, who has such strong experience," said Wasps director of rugby Dai Young.
Festuccia will again join up with compatriot Andrea Masi, a team-mate at two of his former clubs, at Adams Park.
"I am delighted to join Wasps and test myself in a new environment," he said.
"I have played in the Pro12 and the Top 14 and always wanted to compete in the English Premiership, so this is an exciting move for me."
The city has been a base for foreigners and international organisations throughout more than a decade of conflict in Iraq.
Ringed by mountains and checkpoints, Irbil was the safe alternative to Baghdad, its appeal most obvious when the violence elsewhere seemed most ominous.
Foreign visitors to the city enjoyed freedoms unthinkable in other parts of the country - passing from luxury hotel to smoky drinking den without the company of costly and heavily armed bodyguards.
More recently, Irbil has become a destination in its own right for "the internationals" - the expat employees of multinational firms and aid agencies whose presence in Iraq remains a visible legacy of the US-led invasion.
Global oil giants have been setting up shop in the city, lured by the promise of Iraqi Kurdistan's untapped energy reserves. They have driven up real-estate prices and transformed a dusty backwater into an even dustier boomtown. The sand now is from countless building sites, as well as the nearby desert.
This summer, the US beefed up its presence in Irbil, strengthening the ranks of diplomats and special-forces advisers garrisoned there. The city is being used as a base by the US - echoing its function during the 2003 invasion, when American troops joined Iraqi Kurdish forces to defeat the remnants of Saddam Hussein's army.
Their target this time are the fighters from IS, formerly known as Isis, who have spearheaded a lightning advance across northern Iraq. The largest city to have fallen to the jihadists, Mosul, is just over an hour's drive to the west.
The capture of Mosul, and of towns and villages across Nineveh province, has sent a tide of refugees into Irbil. Many are from Iraq's Christian and Yazidi minorities, deemed infidels and heretics by IS but promised a safe haven in Iraqi Kurdistan.
For the city's residents, these are nerve-wracking times. The Kurds do not have a country to call their own - but in Irbil, they have a capital. With IS at its gates, they risk losing all that they have built.
Nabaz Khoshnaw, a security consultant in the city, describes a popular mood that veers between panic and bravado. Most people do not expect IS to break through Kurdish defences, he says, although a few have been "freaking out".
"They think Isis will come steal women, decapitate men," he says. While some are ready to run away, says Mr Khoshnaw, others are ready to "send the women to the mountains and… fight in the streets".
While the city is not expected to fall, there is some concern that IS sympathisers or agents could mount attacks inside Irbil. There is also alarm at the plight of the newly displaced.
Irbil residents say the Christian quarter, Ankawa, has been overrun by refugees. Some newcomers have found shelter in schools and churches. Others are camping on the streets. The contrast is startling for a neighbourhood that also houses expensive villas and bars frequented by foreigners.
"Now the poor Christians from the villages came to that place, which is for rich people and those who want to drink and go to a nightclub, and they're sitting there on the streets," says Mr Khoshnaw. "It's inhumane."
Mr Khoshnaw says local families have set up makeshift kitchens to provide for the refugees. But with IS drawing close, some are now unsure whether they should still be dispensing charity - or stocking up on food themselves. "Your morals are being challenged here, it's very difficult," he says.
An Iraqi Christian businessman in Irbil, who did not wish to be named, says most of the foreign workers in the city are staying put. Rumours have been circulating about IS incursions - but none have been substantiated.
"Isis are looking to destroy everything, but this is not easy," he says. "What's been built by Kurdish people, to be destroyed in a day... it's not easy."
The news of US military action has been greeted with relief, he says. But in the long run, he says, more countries need to support the fight against IS. "We have to have a permanent solution," says the businessman, "to be supported internationally."
Ollivier, 38, suffered fatal head injuries after his motorbike was involved in a crash with a car in Clerkenwell, central London, on his way to a performance in August 2015.
The cab driver was Abdul Qayyum, 44, from Slough, Berkshire.
He was found not guilty of death by careless driving on Tuesday after a trial at the Old Bailey in London.
Ollivier made his name with Matthew Bourne's company New Adventures, playing The Swan in Swan Lake and Speight in Play Without Words.
He had been on his way to perform in Bourne's production of The Car Man at Sadler's Wells Theatre.
After the accident, the choreographer described Ollivier as "one of the most charismatic and powerful dancers of his generation".

Players were forced off at Old Trafford at 14:15 BST with England on 237-6.
Despite heavy rain stopping 90 minutes later, ground staff could not drain a corner of the outfield. Play was abandoned to angry boos at 17:39 BST.
"We apologise if people feel let down, but these are extreme circumstances," Watkinson told BBC Radio 5 live.
"It was an extremely heavy downpour and most grounds would have struggled."
Old Trafford's drainage system was revamped in 2008, requiring Lancashire to play their home matches elsewhere.
After the rain stopped on Friday afternoon, staff deployed motorised mops, brooms and sand to try to soak up the water near the boundary rope.
Watkinson, a former England all-rounder, said the problematic area at the Brian Statham End had recently been re-turfed.
"We have an area that has some new grass, some turf that is not quite as established as the rest of the field," he said.
"The drainage is fine, but it was used for some construction work during the off-season. The pitch drains to this side, there is a natural fall. This is where the water congregates.
"If we have got anything wrong, it's hitting it with the waterhog and disturbing the surface. Ideally, it would drain through naturally."
Although there was provision for play to continue until 19:30 BST, it had to resume by 18:00 for the rule to be invoked.
Former England batsman Geoffrey Boycott criticised organisers for putting player safety ahead of the paying public.
"This sort of thing hurts cricket," he said on BBC Test Match Special. "The evening was set, we could easily have played on.
"Did the groundstaff know about this? If so, they should have covered it or brought the boundary in. It wouldn't have been pleasant fielding on it, but we have to get on with the game.
"There's a bigger picture. People pay a fortune to watch. That's bigger than a couple of cricketers slipping over."
An unbroken partnership of 67 between Joe Root and Jos Buttler helped England build a healthy lead before rain curtailed the second day.
The lack of further play on Friday could dent England's chances of sealing the victory they require to take a 2-1 lead in the series with one match to play.
England currently lead India, who made 152 in the first innings, by 85. Saturday's forecast is good, but further rain is expected to fall on Sunday and Monday.
Speaking on Test Match Special before Saturday's play, Watkinson added: "I do feel we are making a big issue about losing about 45 minutes of play."
Asked about the prospect of further rain, he insisted: "We'll do everything we can. We'll take every measure possible. If nature beats us it won't be through lack of effort."
"Everyone is frustrated," said England batsman Ian Bell. "With the Test match so nicely balanced we'd all love to be out there.
"It's a shame for everyone, the players and the supporters, but the groundstaff have given everything to get us out there and it's just unfortunate we couldn't."
Called Canal Caribe, it is an attempt to stand out from the stiffly presented, heavily scripted newscasts that have aired on state TV for decades.
The channel is trying out different formats. They include live link-ups with international correspondents via Skype and the use of social media sites like Twitter - simple devices that are common on most other news channels but new for Cuban TV.
The channel's news director, Ovidio Cabrera, showed me around the station.
As one of the founders of another left-wing Latin American news service, the Venezuelan-funded Telesur, he says this new venture will be unique in Cuba because it will run outside the fixed midday and early-evening slots.
"The key difference is that this will be a news and information channel that's on air for 18 hours a day," says Mr Cabrera.
"And the vast majority of our coverage, around two-thirds, will be live."
A live, round-the-clock television news channel might not sound particularly innovative, but in Cuba such changes happen slowly.
The state-run newspaper and mouthpiece of the Cuban Communist Party, Granma, has barely changed its typeface in 50 years of revolution.
The question is whether editorially Canal Caribe will be any different from other channels on the Communist-run island and if criticism will be broadcast.
"This is a channel for more revolution," says Mr Cabrera, immediately squashing any suggestion that Canal Caribe will be anything less than 100% pro-government.
"We won't shy away from criticising what isn't working, from making suggestions, from analysing and discussing social problems, but always through the prism of supporting the revolutionary process, not against it," he explains.
The young journalists at Canal Caribe insist that, despite the restrictions on them, they will report issues that matter to ordinary people.
"As an intern [working in state media] here, I was told a lot of rules I found to be nonsense," says news anchor Luis Miguel Cabrera in fluent English.
"And I'm really proud that I've experienced how those rules have been - I can't say 'changed' exactly - but certainly made more flexible."
Not yet in his thirties, Mr Cabrera presents The World Now programme and believes that Canal Caribe is evidence of changing media attitudes in Cuba.
"I have personally experienced that I could report the sort of issues that one couldn't do in the past. So I think that we have that responsibility to push hard in order to change things that we don't find representative of what is going on, not only in Cuba but in the world as well."
That said, he is a realist and knows the editorial environment in which he works.
"You have to keep in mind that this is a state-owned channel. But I believe that we can responsibly show on TV what is going in Cuba and what is representative of the Cuban people," he says.
The way Cubans are consuming their news is undoubtedly changing.
"I haven't watched state TV in years", a young music video producer tells me.
"I get all my information from the Weekly Package" he adds, referring to an offline form of file-sharing in Cuba using hard-drives which is both cheap and hugely popular.
There are also now about 100 public wi-fi spots dotted across the island and most young people would rather pay for an hour of Internet access than tune into the nightly news.
Canal Caribe may be the Cuban Government's attempt to tackle that, but they will find it hard to engage the island's youth.
A pilot scheme has just ended to allow Internet connections in private homes and theoretically should soon become more widely available.
One Cuban blogger, Ariel Montenegro, thinks the days of the Internet being perceived as dangerous by the authorities may now be numbered.
"I don't believe that the Cuban Government believes right now that the Internet is bad and is going to be bad for the country and for the revolution and for socialism and so on," he says, sitting in a public wi-fi spot.
Although getting online is still slow and expensive, he says, he is broadly optimistic about the future of the island's connectivity.
Part of the Canal Caribe newsroom is a building site as they construct a completely new set while inside the on-air studio, the young team of journalists is preparing to broadcast live again.
In a rapidly changing media environment, the Cuban government is acutely aware that the slogans of the past no longer appeal to many young people.
With a round-the-clock news channel, they are hoping to become more relevant to their audience again while still delivering the same essential message.

Wing George North's key try six minutes into the second half opened a decisive 13-point lead that Warren Gatland's team never looked like relinquishing on their way to a 19-10 win.
As tries go it was a metaphor for a match which started with the Principality Stadium roof malfunctioning and much of the rugby following suit.
It started well. Sam Warburton's crunching tackle forced a turnover, and Jonathan Davies kicked past a French defence which North left for dead.
With the line at his mercy North missed the ball altogether, but then had the ball kicked back to him by France fly-half Jules Plisson and gratefully dived over to score. It would have been rude not to.
Davies summed the try up: "More like Carmarthen Town than Man United," he said.
"We were fortunate with the bounce, but sometimes that happens."
Captain Warburton added: "George has taken a bit of stick in the changing room over it,"
True. But probably not as much as Plisson.
If the end is more important than the means then Wales coach Warren Gatland, at least, is satisfied.
After the 16-16 draw with Ireland in the opening round of matches, the New Zealander said his team's objectives were clear, beat Scotland and France at home.
Wales' fifth consecutive win over France delivered his wish.
Now they go to Twickenham on 12 March hoping to follow up their 28-25 World Cup victory with another win at the home of English rugby.
To put that in its historical perspective, the last time Wales won consecutive games in Twickenham was in 1978.
Gareth Edwards was becoming the first Welshman to make 50 international appearances for his country and helped Wales to a 9-6 win in the kind of mudbath you don't see in modern Test rugby.
Gatland has led Welsh teams to wins three times at Twickenham - but never two in a row.
To quote Graham Henry, another Kiwi who coached Wales, it's a big ask.
"It's a great stadium and we love going and playing there, and they're a quality team," said Gatland.
"We've been there on a few occasions and won there so you've got to have that confidence and believe that you're able to do it.

"That's why today was so important because the victory keeps us in this championship and if we'd lost then basically we would have been out of it.
"It doesn't matter who wins between England and Ireland - there's still a lot to play for in two weeks."
One thing Gatland says his team will have to do to have any chance against England is concede fewer penalties.
"We have a rule amongst the squad to concede 10 penalties or fewer," he said.
"I think it was getting up to double that today - it was 17 in the end. So we'll have to improve on that."
Eddie Jones' England are likely to have a sharper cutting edge. It would be too much for Wales to expect England to be be as generous as France.
But, like with North on Friday, any gifts will be gratefully accepted. Just don't expect the Beautiful Game.
The San Francisco judge also banned a top Uber engineer from involvement in certain work for the ride-hailing firm's autonomous driving project.
Waymo has sued Uber over claims that a former employee stole trade secrets that were later used by its rival.
Although a blow to Uber, the ruling stopped short of ordering a shutdown of the firm's self-driving unit.
District Judge William Alsup's ruling, which was unsealed on Monday, said Waymo "has shown compelling evidence that its former star engineer" Anthony Levandowski "pilfered" thousands of documents from the company.
"The bottom line is the evidence indicates that Uber hired Levandowski even though it knew or should have known that he possessed over 14,000 confidential Waymo files likely containing Waymo's intellectual property," Alsup wrote.
Uber must return the documents either to Waymo or the court by the end of this month.
The judge also ordered Uber to keep Mr Levandowski away from work involving Lidar, a key sensor technology in self-driving cars that is the crux of the current litigation.
Uber faces criminal inquiry in US
Lyft in self-driving deal with Google
Judge to Waymo: Close, but no smoking gun
Uber and Waymo face off in court
Waymo spokesman Johnny Luu welcomed the ruling, saying: "Competition should be fuelled by innovation in the labs and on the roads, not through unlawful actions."
However, the judge added that "few" of Waymo's alleged trade secrets have been traced to Uber's self-driving car technology. Not all of Waymo's 121 asserted trade secrets qualify as trade secrets, he added.
Crucially for Uber, the ruling did not shut down its self-driving car project. Uber is betting that its ride services network will eventually rely on self-driving cars.
"We are pleased with the court's ruling that Uber can continue building and utilizing all of its self-driving technology, including our innovation around Lidar," Uber spokeswoman Chelsea Kohler said.
On Monday Waymo signed a deal with Lyft, Uber's main US competitor, to test its self-driving technology.
The Humberside Police and Crime Panel had voted against Paul Robinson's appointment at a meeting last week.
It was concerned he would not have time to be able to fulfil both his roles of councillor and deputy commissioner.
Humberside PCC Matthew Grove said he had reflected on the panel's view but decided Mr Robinson was the right person for the £45,000-a-year post.
Mr Robinson is a Conservative councillor for the Howdenshire ward for East Riding of Yorkshire Council and worked closely with Mr Grove during his campaign for election as Humberside PCC.
Mr Grove, who was an East Riding of Yorkshire councillor until his election as PCC, said: "As commissioner I need someone who I have total trust and confidence in and who can fit this profile.
"My judgement is that Paul fits this role and can deliver everything I need to be delivered.
"This appointment represents a significant judgment call for me, and I recognise that the members of the panel had only a 12-page report and a 30-minute questioning session with Paul to base their recommendation on.
"I have seriously considered their views but my judgment is based upon significant knowledge of Paul, my personal experience and honest belief in him."
Police and crime panels, which include local councillors, have been set up to scrutinise the actions and decisions of each PCC and make sure information is available for the public, enabling them to hold the PCC to account.
Matthew Bryce, 22, from Glasgow, had not been seen since he set off to go surfing off the Argyll coast at 09:00 on Sunday morning.
Belfast Coastguard said he had been in the water since 11:30 on Sunday and was found at 19:30 on Monday.
A spokeswoman said Mr Bryce, who was wearing a wetsuit, was hypothermic and had been taken to hospital in Belfast.
Dawn Petrie, from the coastguard, said: "He was extremely lucky.
"Hope was fading of finding the surfer safe and well after such a long period in the water and with nightfall approaching we were gravely concerned but at 7.30pm tonight, the crew on the coastguard rescue helicopter were delighted when they located the man still with his surf board and 13 miles off the coast.
"He was kitted out with all the right clothing including a thick neoprene suit and this must have helped him to survive for so long at sea. He is hypothermic but conscious and has been flown to hospital in Belfast.
She told BBC Radio: "He did the right thing by staying with his surfboard and that certainly aided his survival."
Belfast Coastguard co-ordinated the search for Mr Bryce who left to go surfing from Machrihanish beach near Campbeltown.
A large area of sea and shore line was combed after the alarm was raised at lunchtime on Monday.
It involved RNLI lifeboats from Campbeltown, Islay and Red Bay and Coastguard rescue teams from Campbeltown, Southend, Gigha, Tarbert and Port Ellen as well as the Coastguard rescue helicopter based at Prestwick.
Mr Bryce had last been seen in the St Catherines area of Argyll.

But how much do you know about her?
The boat overturned off the coast of Beer Ali, in the southern Shabwa province, the ministry of defence said on its news website.

Margaret Dow, 81, said Mary Logie was "very upset" about having so little money.
Mrs Dow was giving evidence at the trial of Sandra Weir, who denies murdering Mrs Logie and stealing thousands of pounds from her.
She said: "Over the last year, she was starting to say she was a bit short."
The High Court in Edinburgh heard how Mrs Logie's finances became so strained that she had to cut back on doing things she enjoyed such as her weekly visits to the hairdresser.
Giving evidence on the fifth day of the trial of Sandra Weir, Mrs Dow said: "She told me she got a letter from the bank saying something about an overdraft.
"She was very upset - she didn't understand why because she never went to what she called the hole in the wall."
When prosecution lawyer Alex Prentice QC asked Mrs Dow whether her friend had to cut back on doing nice things which Mrs Logie regarded as being important, Mrs Dow replied: "Yes."
She added: "She stopped going to the hairdresser every week.
"She had a manicure and she had to cut back on that as well."
Mrs Weir, of Leven, Fife, denies murdering her neighbour Mrs Logie and seven other charges.
Mrs Dow told the court that she was a long-standing friend of Mrs Logie.
She said: "She was like a sister."
She told Mr Prentice that Mrs Logie was a very independent and dependable person.
Mr Prentice asked Mrs Dow what her friend was like with money.
She said: "She was alright with money. She was like most people - she had to watch. We both had to watch the pennies.
"Over the last year, she was starting to say she was a little bit short.
"She would say to me 'I don't know if I'm going to manage to get my hair done this week. I might leave it until next week.' That wasn't like her.
Mr Prentice also asked Mrs Dow to describe a ring which belonged to Mrs Logie.
Mrs Dow told him it was an onyx pinky ring.
She said Mrs Logie, who was known to friends as Rae, was pleased with it and wore it often.
Mr Prentice asked: "Have you any idea why that ring might have been in a pawnbrokers-type shop?"
Mrs Dow replied: "None whatsoever."
Mr Prentice then asked: "Did Rae ever say she wanted to pawn her ring?"
Mrs Dow replied: "No."
Mrs Weir is accused of killing the pensioner by repeatedly striking her on the head and body with a rolling pin or similar instrument at Mrs Logie's home on 5 January this year.
She also faces charges including attempting to defeat the ends of justice and stealing unknown quantities of money, two rings and Mrs Logie's bank card or cards.
Prosecutors allege she used Mrs Logie's bank card to steal £4,460 at cash machines between December 2014 and 4 January this year.
Mrs Weir's lawyer, Murray Macara QC, has lodged a special defence of alibi in relation to the murder charge.
The trial before judge Michael O'Grady QC continues.
The Football Association of Malawi said in a statement on Sunday that Chimodzi's deal would not be renewed.
The decision to remove Chimodzi from his position comes after the 2-1 loss to Zimbabwe in Saturday's 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.
Ernest Mtawali has been installed as a caretaker coach until a permanent appointment is made.
"FAM has advised the head coach and his assistant (Jack Chamangwana) to immediately proceed on leave pending the expiry of their contracts on 31 July.
"FAM would like to express its disappointment with the result against Zimbabwe in a match which it feels the Flames were in a better position to win and accordingly apologise to the nation for the painful loss," read the football governing body's statement.
"Upon consultation with the Malawi Government, FAM will advertise for the position of the Malawi national football team head coach as soon as possible.
"It is expected that the new coach will be appointed by 1 August. FAM will cast its net wider both locally and internationally in search for a new coach."
Chimodzi and Chamangwana were appointed in January 2014 - despite having only recently been sacked from the Flames' technical panel.
Fifteen months later, FAM said: "We have lost confidence in the coaches due to poor performance of the Malawi national football team generally during their term of engagement culminating into the recent loss to the Zimbabwe national football team.
"The coaches have been in charge of 23 matches of which they won six, drew five and lost 12 representing a 23% wining rate."
The Dons drew the first leg of their second round qualifier 1-1 at Pittodrie in their first competitive match and then won 2-0 in Bosnia on Thursday.
"I think I put the tie at risk because I think we were a game short going into this game," McInnes told BBC Scotland.
"I should have played another pre-season game, even at Pittodrie."
With 19 minutes of a scrappy game remaining in Siroki Brijeg, west of Mostar, Aberdeen looked to be going out of the tournament.
An acrobatic Joe Lewis saved had kept out a volley by the hosts' Ivan Krstanovic prior to the Dons scoring their first away goal, thanks to an incisive pass from Ryan Christie and a confident finish by summer signing Greg Stewart.
Six minutes later, Christie set up Gary Mackay-Steven, who stroked the ball home to make it 2-0 and leave Siroki Brijeg needing three goals to progress to play Apollon Limassol next Thursday.
"Thankfully I'm not beating myself up too much because we've got through," said McInnes of his team's preparedness, having arranged pre-season friendlies against St Johnstone and Arbroath.
"The players didn't lose too much fitness, it was more the competitive edge. I would have taken responsibility."
McInnes admitted to a few "scary moments" in the first half as Siroki Brijeg counter-attacked at pace but in truth Lewis was rarely threatened.
The manager, who played Jayden Stockley up front in place of Adam Rooney, added: "We know there is quality in the team. Greg brings a real bit of quality for the first goal and Gary had a fantastic finish.
"You could see the fitness level of the team; we got stronger as the game went on.
"I think that is clearly down to getting the minutes under our belt last week and having another week's training.
"Once we were in front you could see the spirit of the team.
"Our scout has been over tonight in Moldova (watching Apollon Limassol beat Zaria Balti 5-1 on aggregate).
"If we can reach the heights of that second-half performance next week we can be confident going into it. Hopefully the fans get home safely and they can go to Cyprus."
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) will decide the medal events for each sport in 2020 on Friday, 9 June - a month ahead of schedule.
The IOC believes mixed events and mixed relays will help promote gender equality.
"I'm 100% in favour as it would add spice," Peaty told BBC Sport.
Archery, judo, modern pentathlon, table tennis, taekwondo, triathlon and synchronised swimming are some of the other sports known to have proposed mixed events.
The success of the 4x400m mixed event at the recent World Relays in the Bahamas increased the possibility of mixed athletics competitions entering the Tokyo Games.
Peaty helped guide the British swimming team to mixed medley relay gold as the event made its World Championship debut in 2015.
"It's something that would make things [at the Olympics] a little bit more fun," said Peaty.

"Obviously it's very serious, but it's great to mix things up from what they've been for so long as it adds a little spice and they're great to watch."
Over 11,000 athletes contested 306 medal events at Rio 2016 and although international governing bodies submitted over 60 proposals for new events, the IOC is believed to be keen on keeping the 2020 Games to a similar size.
This is despite five new sports - baseball/softball, karate, sport climbing, surfing and skateboarding - all joining the line-up for Tokyo.
As such, new mixed events would generally present existing competitors with a second medal opportunity - in addition to their individual or same-sex team competition - rather than create a new athlete line-up.
Some sports, such as canoeing, rowing and shooting have proposed dropping men's events in favour of women's ones, whilst boxing and weightlifting are proposing extra weight categories but without requiring additional athletes.
In addition to the mixed 4x100m freestyle and mixed 4x100m medley relays, FINA - swimming's international governing body - has also pitched for the introduction of 50m sprint events for all strokes and genders.
At present only freestyle has a 50m event in the Olympic programme, but Peaty - who is the reigning 50m breaststroke world champion and world record holder - is keen to see the IOC approve all events.
"Everyone loves the 50s because they're so close and tight, so the more 50s and more events the better really," said Peaty.
As part of its 'Agenda 2020' programme, the IOC is also looking at ways of 'better appealing' to younger audiences.
As such, a number of new disciplines such as 3x3 basketball, BMX freestyle, high-diving (competitive cliff diving) and a form of gymnastics-based parkour could also be introduced.
The event is now in its 27th year and organisers have predicted the display will be the biggest yet.
There was an opening ceremony on Friday evening with an aerial display, fireworks and live music.
Weather permitting, attractions over the weekend will include the Red Arrow Display team, parachutists, and a Battle of Britain memorial flight.
Sunderland City Council said that last year the airshow drew an estimated one million visitors over its three days.
Flames could be seen erupting from a pipeline of the Gas Authority of India Limited (Gail) in East Godavari district early on Friday.
At least 10 people were injured. It is not clear what caused the blast.
Gail is India's largest state-owned natural gas processing and distribution company.
The company chairman BC Tripathi told the Press Trust of India that the fire occurred in an 18-inch (46cm) pipeline of the company near a refinery run by the state-owned Oil and Natural Gas Commission in Nagaram village.
"The reasons for the accident are not known yet. We are currently focused on rescue and relief operations," he said.
Andhra Pradesh Home Minister N Chinna Rajappa told BBC Hindi that "at least 14 people are dead".
Neetu Kumari Prasad, a senior official of the East Godavari district, said the fire, which has also gutted scores of houses, had been brought under control and the death toll could rise.
Federal Petroleum Minister Dharmendra Pradhan told the BBC that a pipeline supplying gas to a local power plant had "ruptured" leading to the blast. The fire had affected one village, he added.
The government had ordered a "high-level probe" to find out the cause of the incident, he said.
Gail operates a 11,000km (6,840-mile) natural gas pipeline network and seven gas processing units across India. The company is also involved in petrochemicals, exploration, city gas distribution and wind and solar power.
Earlier this month, at least six people died from a poisonous gas leak following an explosion at one of India's largest steel plants in Chhattisgarh state.
Pizza made global headlines in July after Animals Asia started a petition to close the "ocean theme park" at the Grandview Centre in Guangzhou, China.
Videos show the "teary-eyed" bear slumped on the floor of his enclosure.
Neither the Grandview Centre nor the Yorkshire Wildlife Park would comment.
The Yorkshire Wildlife Park houses a specially created habitat for polar bears, which is currently home to four animals.
The park's Project Polar is an "innovative habitat" for polar bears, including a research and conservation programme.
"We would be delighted to see Pizza end up at Yorkshire Wildlife Park," said Animals Asia's welfare director Dave Neale.
"There can be a happy ending - Pizza would not only enjoy incredible facilities, he would also be part of a community of bears."
The charity said no financial payment would be offered for the bear, "with the fear that any funds could be used to buy more animals".
The owners of the indoor zoo in Guangzhou insist they have made improvements to the park since July. But Animals Asia said conditions were still cramped, with "nothing natural".
The "ocean theme park" is also home to beluga whales, walrus calves, a wolf and arctic foxes.
The versatile 25-year-old joined the Jags from Whitley Bay in 2011.
He has made 29 appearances this season, helping Thistle to a top-six place in the Premiership, guaranteeing their highest finish since 1981.
Elliott has featured in 167 games for Alan Archibald's side, scoring 13 goals in all competitions.
Glenn Taylor was filmed by a colleague pushing the 170 million-year-old red rock in Goblin Valley State Park and celebrating afterwards.
The two scouts say they have received death threats after the video was posted online.
The two men argue the rock was loose and could have fallen on a passer-by.
Utah State Parks spokesman Eugene Swalberg said the state authorities were considering bringing the charges after the incident.
"This is not behaviour that is appreciated or should exist in state parks," he told the Deseret News.
"This has been formed for literally millions of years, and it's supposed to last for a long time. It doesn't need individuals doing the work of Mother Nature."
The Boy Scouts of America - who have millions of members across the country - also condemned the action, warning that it would take "appropriate" measures.
The scout leaders said the stone was pushed over because of safety concerns.
However, scout leader Dave Hall told the Salt Lake Tribune: "I think we made the right decision, but probably the wrong method.
"We take full responsibility for whatever mistake we made, and we're open to whatever that means from the state, from the Boy Scouts' office, etc."
In the video, Mr Taylor is seen congratulating a colleague after the mushroom-shaped sandstone rock - known as a "goblin" - was toppled.
Halfway through the April-to-April jump racing season - but with the 'core' six month-period that climaxes at the festivals at Cheltenham and Aintree ahead - the most hotly anticipated storyline of the campaign seems to be shaping up neatly.
Richard Johnson, runner-up to AP McCoy in 16 of the record 20 championships he won before retirement in April, holds a lead of almost McCoy-esque proportions as he seeks an elusive first champion jockey title.
And it's no exaggeration to say that there is a universal belief within racing that, if justice is ever to be served, the 38-year-old simply must win the accolade.
It is a view held even among the fiercest of his rival jockeys.
"Obviously most of them are about 15 years younger than me," said Johnson said, a smile spreading across his face, as he spoke to BBC Sport at the first fixture of the main part of the jumps season at Cheltenham. "So they know they'll have plenty of time in the future.
"But, yes, I'm feeling massively the goodwill from them, from owners, from trainers and from the general public via social media, every day I go racing.
"I've had a great time riding - for 22 years in all - and it's nice to now hopefully get a chance to do the best I can and, if I could manage to get that title, it would mean everything to me.
Johnson, from a family in rural Herefordshire that has for generations mixed agriculture and racing in a way typical of jumping's grassroots, is by some way the second most successful jump jockey of all time.
So far, he has more than 2,900 successes to his name, including victory in the 2000 Cheltenham Gold Cup on Looks Like Trouble and the Champion Hurdle of 2003 on Rooster Booster, plus a Conditional Jockeys' title (for National Hunt apprentices), achieved under the tutelage of master-trainer David Nicholson.
How different the record books would look now if Northern Ireland-born McCoy, 41, who rode his first winner in Britain a few months after Johnson had partnered his initial success as a young amateur rider, had pursued alternative employment.
For most of us, being forced to live for such a long time in the shadow of an opponent, however towering, would lead to fury and resentment but, famously, the perennial runner-up to McCoy has never grumbled.
Was he really that philosophical? Johnson insists he was.
"OK, you're frustrated and you're always determined to try to beat him, and everything else, but at the end of the day I can only do my best," he said.
"I'd have been upset if I hadn't given every inch, but I did; unfortunately I never managed to ride as many winners as him.
"And he was a gentleman to work with, even if rather frustrating to ride against."
By way of further explanation, Johnson added: "In our job, the horses are the athletes and our job is to get on the fastest ones.
"But, you never know, you're on a winner one race, and half an hour later you could easily be on the floor, literally. That's why there's no time for bad-will or hard-feeling".
Trainers Philip Hobbs, a longstanding ally, Tim Vaughan, Gordon Elliott, Charlie Longsdon and McCoy's close associate Jonjo O'Neill have given Johnson the bulk of his total so far.
Though well aware that the most important months of the campaign lie ahead, he has galloped serenely past the landmark of a century of winners and, mid-season, holds a healthy advantage in the title race over rising stars Aidan Coleman and Sam Twiston-Davies.
It does put things into perspective, however, when you see that while Johnson reached his 100 in mid-October it was in August of the 2014-15 season that McCoy broke his own record for jumping's fastest 'ton'.
As for this season, Johnson has a single aim.
"To be champion jockey is my target - it has been for 22 years since I started, and that would be lovely," he said.
"I want to ride as many winners as possible every day of the week, whether it's Monday at Ayr or Saturday at Cheltenham.
"There are plenty of miles involved, and if you were doing it to ride one 50-1 shot, as some guys do, it would be much harder, but when things are going well it is only enjoyable."
Final question: has he thought what it would feel like to be Richard Johnson, champion jump jockey?
"I've thought about it for a long time," said the father-of-three, who on Saturday looks to win the prestigious Charlie Hall Chase at Wetherby for the second year running on Menorah.
"It's just something that I'd be proud of a long way down the line.
"If I could be mentioned in the same breath as some of the people that have been champion jockeys before it would be amazing, something for me and my children to be very proud of."
There is coverage of the Bet365 Charlie Hall Chase at Wetherby on BBC Radio 5 live, Saturday, 31 October, 15:05 GMT | A man and a woman have been arrested on suspicion of murder after the death of a man in West Yorkshire.

Thangam Debbonaire, 48, said her consultant had told her the cancer was "perfectly treatable" and that she is "expected to make a full recovery".
Ms Debbonaire said she had picked up the symptoms via a public health campaign and urged women to check their breasts regularly.
The Labour MP said she had arranged backup and support in parliament to cover her absence.
"No matter how I'm feeling, I will ensure I represent and support the people of Bristol West effectively, with the help of a first-class constituency team," she said.
Ms Debbonaire is due to start treatment at Bristol Oncology Centre on 3 July.

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

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

Holloway, 50, guided Palace to the Premier League via the play-offs last season after joining in November, but had won only one league game this term.
A 4-1 defeat by Fulham on Monday left the club five points adrift of safety.
"Ian felt that a new approach might help keep us in the division," chairman Steve Parish said.
"It's a completely different challenge for Ian and a completely different challenge for us at the club.
"Ian's been very noble and he's come forward and said: 'I can't do it.' I've spent three days trying to get Ian in the frame of mind that he can do it."
Assistant manager Keith Millen will take temporary charge for the game against Arsenal on Saturday.
Although the club lost star player Wilfried Zaha to Manchester United, Holloway was allowed to bring in 16 players during the summer.
"I have pride in the job we've both done," Holloway said.
"We need to shut up shop in this division. At the minute we've got a whole new group there.
"I have to hold my hand up and say we didn't keep the spirit that got us up.
"We changed too much too quickly."
He added: "This club needs an impetus of energy - but I just feel tired to be honest. I'm worn out."
Palace won 3-1 against fellow strugglers Sunderland on 31 August, but they have lost their seven other league games this season.
Palace are 19th in the Premier League table and speculation had surrounded Holloway's position following a meeting with Parish after the Fulham defeat, despite the chairman telling BBC Radio 5 Live before the game his job was secure.
Parish said he would consult Holloway when it came to appointing a new manager and that the club needed someone with more top-flight experience.
"I've never seen Ian Holloway like that before. He cut a lonely figure. He's normally very effervescent, he's up and at them and enthusiastic.
"He's got to the position where he's said to Steve Parish: 'You've got to move this on.'
"I think it was honourable and noble. Watching it, I felt sorry for him."
"We've got a whole group of people who are only really used to the Championship and dropped them into the Premier League," added Parish.
"I think we both realised we need someone with more experience at this level."
Holloway ended a three-year spell at Blackpool - who he guided to promotion to the Premier League in 2010 before being relegated back to the Championship the following season - to join the Eagles, succeeding Dougie Freedman.
Palace were fourth in the Championship table when Holloway arrived, but held onto a play-off place thanks to an 89th-minute winner from Mile Jedinak in the final game of the season against Peterborough.
After beating Brighton in the play-off semi-finals, an extra-time Kevin Phillips penalty secured promotion against Watford at Wembley.
Allegations he brought Cardiff council into disrepute have been referred to a tribunal.
It has now emerged the case apparently relates to whether a single comment was made to a council officer in a threatening way.
A Cardiff Plaid spokesman called the investigation an "outrage".
It is understood that Mr McEvoy, who has been investigated in his role as a Cardiff councillor, has denied that the remark - a promise to restructure the council - was threatening.
The investigation, which has been referred to the Adjudication Panel for Wales for a later hearing, came about following a complaint brought by Cardiff Labour councillor Paul Mitchell.
BBC Wales has now learned the details of the Public Services Ombudsman for Wales investigation, which considered whether he breached parts of the councillors' code of conduct.
Mr McEvoy, who is leader of Cardiff council's Plaid group, was alleged to have made a comment in a threatening manner to a city council officer after a court hearing at Cardiff civil justice centre in July 2015.
The hearing concerned an application to suspend a warrant of eviction of a Cardiff council tenant.
Mr McEvoy went to the hearing to assist the tenant, which was also attended by council officers.
Following the hearing the AM allegedly said: "I can't wait until May 2017 when the restructure of the council happens."
The council officer alleged that Mr McEvoy was intimidating, and took it as a threat to her job.
Mr McEvoy is thought to have accepted that he made the comment about restructuring, but argues that he made it while speaking to the tenant about political matters.
His Plaid group proposes to restructure the authority's senior management, and there are council elections taking place in May.
He denied making the comment to council officers, and suggested it was soothing to the tenant to be informed there would be no repeat of the incident.
The investigation examined whether there were breaches of parts of the code of conduct relating to:
Mr McEvoy himself is not discussing the case.
A source sympathetic to Mr McEvoy said: "How does saying that he wants to restructure the council justify sending this complaint to the adjudication panel? It's a farce."
A Cardiff Plaid spokesman said it was their long standing policy to restructure Cardiff council.
He said: "It's an outrage that a government-appointed Ombudsman thinks he has the right to interfere in this process.
"It's also farcical that everybody can talk about this, except Neil".
The ombudsman's spokeswoman said: "Information obtained by the ombudsman during an investigation of a possible breach of the code of conduct for local authority members may only be disclosed for specific purposes under the Local Government Act 2000.
"The ombudsman's report following the investigation into a complaint against Councillor McEvoy has been referred to the Adjudication Panel for Wales for consideration by a tribunal.
"It would not be appropriate for the ombudsman to comment at this time as this may prejudice the tribunal proceedings."
In response to the Cardiff Plaid Cymru spokesman's comments, the ombudsman's spokeswoman added: "The Public Services Ombudsman for Wales is not appointed by the Welsh Government.
"The appointment process is conducted by the National Assembly for Wales.
"The current ombudsman was interviewed by an assembly panel, which was chaired by an elected Plaid Cymru member.
"As preferred candidate he was then interviewed by the cross-party [Assembly] Communities, Local Government and Equality Committee.
"The committee's recommendation was then put to the full assembly for confirmation".
Alex Jeffery, 21, was hit after being involved in a fight outside the Cambridge City Hotel, on Downing Street, on 1 November, police said.
Mr Jeffery, of Orchard Road in Melbourn, was taken to hospital but died from his injuries a week later.
A post-mortem examination is due to take place in the next few days.
In a statement, Mr Jeffery's family said he was a "fun loving, kind and caring son, grandson and brother".
Det Ch Insp Jerome Kent, who is leading the investigation, said he believed some people had seen what happened during the incident at 03:40 GMT but had not yet spoken to police.
"In particular I am keen to speak to the two security guards who came to Alex's aid," he said.
"I would also urge anyone who may have been travelling in the car involved in this incident or knows who the driver is to come forward.
"This is a devastating and traumatic time for the family and is it vital we catch the person responsible."
Admiral's shares fell 7.7% after it said falling interest rates since the referendum had affected its solvency ratio, although it stressed the ratio "remains strong".
Its shares were the worst performers on the FTSE 100, with the index closing down 34.77 points at 6,859.15.
Admiral also cited other risks to its business following the Brexit vote.
These include interest and exchange rate volatility, and the possible withdrawal of passporting rights that allow UK financial services firms to trade in Europe.
Admiral's comments overshadowed the news that its pre-tax profits increased by 4% to £193m for the six months to 30 June.
Balfour Beatty shares rose 3% after the construction company restored dividend payments and said it was seeing "tangible benefits" from its turnaround plan.
The company reported a pre-tax loss from continuing operations of £21m, compared with a £150m loss a year earlier.
On the currency markets, the pound was given a temporary boost by slightly better-than-expected UK jobs figures. But the effect soon wore off, with sterling down 0.3% against the dollar at $1.3001 and 0.2% lower against the euro at €1.1543.
Mike and Diane Hockin had been claiming £30m in damages after losing their property business in 2012.
Mr Hockin told the BBC's Wake Up to Money that he had wanted to expose the bank on behalf of other small businesses, but felt he had to settle.
RBS has admitted no liability and the final amount has not been disclosed.
The two sides reached an agreement three days into a five-week trial earlier this month, ending a four-year legal battle.
"I was gutted, I didn't want to (settle) because I don't feel that justice has been done," Mr Hockin told the BBC.
"It's not us, it's hundreds of small businesses who have been completely stuffed by this crowd and we weren't able to completely expose them because it would have put us in jeopardy basically.
"I made the decision to call it a day but I wasn't happy. But I really had no choice with it," Mr Hockin said.
A number of small business owners have claimed RBS pushed them towards its former turnaround division known as the Global Restructuring Group (GRG).
They then alleged it attempted to profit from their problems by charging them high fees and buying their properties at discounted prices.
The Financial Conduct Authority is investigating GRG but has cleared RBS of trying to deliberately profit from those business transferred to it.
RBS has admitted some shortcomings in the level of service it provided and has set aside £400m to compensate affected small business owners
The Hockins ran London and Westcountry Estates, a commercial property business based in Plymouth, with hundreds of small business tenants across 27 business parks.
They had banked with RBS for years, and as the business grew, so did their debts - reaching £55m by 2008.
That year they took on an insurance product called an interest rate swap that was designed to protect against the impact of rising rates on their repayments.
But during the financial crisis interest rates plunged to record lows which meant the company incurred extra heavy repayments.
This put the company under pressure and it was moved into GRG.
London and Westcountry's debt was later sold on to another company, Isobel Assetco - 75% owned by RBS - which appointed administrators in 2012.
RBS strongly contests the allegation that it caused London and Westcountry to fail, arguing in court papers that the business had prior experience of interest rate hedging products.
It said the company went to GRG because the downturn had caused cash flow problems and it had too much debt.
Mr Hockin said: "People say to me, 'you've been paid out'. But I'm still angry - what makes me angry is this has gone on for eight years.
"It's been completely deceitful. It's been done by a government-sponsored bank with effectively my money, it's cost a fortune and our business was a good business, a perfectly good business."
The Hockins' legal fight began with an action against the accountancy group EY. As administrator, EY held the right to sue RBS, but would not pass that on to the Hockins until it was forced to do so in a 2014 court judgement.
Mrs Hockin said: "Until the assignment court (the EY case) we spent about £250,000 and then subsequently the costs have risen greatly to circa £12m.
"The RBS solicitors kept going back to court and each time you go to court it costs you a fortune.
"We went to mediation in September which was an absolute total waste of time - and that's £100,000. The costs are horrendous," she said.
The case was initially funded by a large inheritance, but the couple then turned to a litigation funder, which invested in the case in the hope of securing high returns if the case was settled.
In a statement RBS said: "We have a duty to act in the best interests of all of our shareholders, including the UK taxpayer. We had strong defences to this claim and were thus prepared to defend ourselves vigorously in court."
"We are pleased to have resolved this matter, with no admission of liability. The settlement allows the bank to minimise material litigation expense and management distraction."
Microsoft had agreed to provide customers with a screen to allow them to chose internet browsers other than its own Internet Explorer.
In a statement, Microsoft conceded it had "fallen short", blaming a technical error.
The European Commission said penalties for non-compliance would be "severe".
EU competition commissioner Joaquin Almunia said it appeared the browser choice screen (BCS) had not been provided since February 2011, meaning 28 million customers might not have seen it.
Microsoft said PCs running the original version of Windows 7, as well as Windows XP and Windows Vista, did have the screen.
But it added: "Due to a technical error, we missed delivering the BCS software to PCs that came with the service pack 1 update to Windows 7.
"While we have taken immediate steps to remedy this problem, we deeply regret that this error occurred and we apologise for it."
Mr Almunia said: "Needless to say, we take compliance with our decision very seriously.
"If the infringement is confirmed, there will be sanctions."
To date the European Union has fined Microsoft 1.64 billion euros (£1.29bn).
The company's shares rose 2.35% to $48.73 in New York trading after it announced the cuts.
The new losses, combined with 7,500 job cuts announced in 2011 and 2012, amount in total to 20% of its workforce.
Merck said it will be shifting its focus to areas it sees as high growth, such as cancer treatment.
It is also pulling products in late-stage trials it estimates will not be so successful, and licensing other products to alternative companies.
The New Jersey-based company anticipates its costs will be reduced by $1bn at the end of 2014, from cutting marketing, administrative, research and development operations.
Kenneth Frazier, chief executive at Merck, said: "While these actions are essential to ensure that Merck can continue to fulfil its mission into the future, they are nevertheless difficult decisions because they affect our dedicated and talented colleagues.
"We appreciate the contributions of all our employees, and we will support them during this time of transformation."
Merck will also be selling property in New Jersey to help save costs.
Alex Arfaei, analyst at BMO Capital Markets, said he was concerned Merck was putting too much faith in a handful of experimental drugs.
He said these include a new type of cancer drug that boosts the immune system, a treatment for Alzheimer's disease, improved versions of its cervical cancer vaccine and its treatment for hepatitis C.
"Overall, today's announcement makes us more cautious about the potential of Merck's pipeline" of experimental drugs, Mr Arfaei said.
Ms Berenson, 40, was arrested in 1995 for her alleged role in a plot to attack the Peruvian Congress.
A military court found her guilty of collaborating with the left-wing Tupac Amaru rebel group and sentenced her to life imprisonment, later reduced to 20 years in prison.
She has always denied the charges.
The judge ordered her to stay in Peru for five years in order to serve out the remaining years of her sentence on conditional release.
The daughter of university professors, Ms Berenson broke off her studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Boston to travel to Central and South America.
During her travels, she is believed to have made contact with the Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement, or MRTA, a Marxist rebel group active in Peru in the 1980s and 1990s.
Tupac Amaru guerrillas became notorious for taking more than 70 people hostage in the Japanese ambassador's residence in Lima in 1996 and holding them for 126 days.
Ms Berenson was arrested after she gained access to the Peruvian Congress on false journalist credentials alongside the wife of MRTA leader Nestor Cerpa.
Military prosecutors accused her of gathering information for a rebel plot to kidnap members of Congress and exchange them for imprisoned rebel leaders.
Her original life sentence was reviewed by a civil court in 2001.
She was convicted on the lesser charges of terrorist collaboration and her sentence reduced to 20 years.
In 2003, Ms Berenson married fellow prisoner Anibal Apari, who was serving 13 years for his affiliation to the same rebel group. She gave birth to their son a year ago. Mr Apari is also her lawyer.
Her parents have been fighting for her release since her arrest and have always maintained her innocence.
The Dons are four points behind leaders Celtic with 10 league games remaining.
Cooper said Celtic lacked "fight, passion and desire" when Aberdeen beat Ronny Deila's side at Pittodrie earlier this season.
"It [the title] is there for Aberdeen to do," Cooper said on BBC Scotland's Sportsound. "I honestly believe that."
Aberdeen capitalised on Celtic dropping two points at home to Dundee by claiming victory at Tannadice to narrow the gap at the top of the table.
And Cooper believes his former club have the chance to win their first title since 1984/85.
"I said when Aberdeen the last game against Celtic and Simon Church scored the winner: that night I saw a Celtic team I hadn't seen in years," he said.
"I thought they lacked fight, passion and desire - which all Celtic teams have shown in the past.
"I know Aberdeen have had a few draws when Celtic drew and then Aberdeen fell back because they drew as well.
"But it [the win against Dundee United] was a massive result for them.
"It's very tough to finally get it done. The last time we won the league in 1984/85 when I was playing, we didn't beat Celtic in two games at Parkhead.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"That's quite hard to believe and then go on and win the title that season. I think there's a great confidence at Aberdeen.
"It's put more pressure on Celtic but I feel Celtic have missed all season a star player. It's all very well putting pressure on Leigh Griffiths and he'll score goals - but not just him alone.
"I don't really see anyone else who's really star quality in that side."
Cooper hailed the progress the Dons have made under Derek McInnes, a manager he believes is proving to be the best at Pittodrie since Sir Alex Ferguson.
"He's brought a buzz about the town," said Cooper. "Okay, being out of both cup competitions was a blow. Now they're totally focused on the league. The fans are totally behind him and the city is really supporting Aberdeen in a massive way."
Hull were put up for sale in 2014 by owner Assem Allam after the Football Association turned down his request to change their name to Hull Tigers.
An agreement to sell to a group led by Dai Yongge and Dai Xiu Li was reported to have been struck a fortnight ago.
That deal has fallen through amid speculation they do not meet the FA's fit and proper person test.
"As I understand it, the problem is not Hull City on the takeover being off," said BBC Radio Humberside's David Burns.
"It's nothing Allam has done so I assume it's the fit and proper person tests. The Premier League have told me they can't comment on the situation."
Hull's return to the Premier League this season has been overshadowed by off-the-pitch issues.
The club have been without a manager since Steve Bruce resigned in July after a fall out with vice-chairman Ehab Allam.
Bruce had reservations about the direction of the club and the lack of transfer activity, and Hull did not make a summer signing until 30 August.
The club put takeover talks on hold until after the window closed to "ensure stability".
Caretaker-boss Mike Phelan managed to bring in six players before the deadline, including midfielder Ryan Mason from Tottenham.
Hull fans protested against the "ill-considered ideas" of the promoted club's owners during their first two home games of the Premier League season, against Leicester City and Manchester United.
E.ON had been working with Pelamis Wave Energy, based in Edinburgh, to test one of the company's wave energy converters at the European Marine Energy Centre.
E.ON has blamed the decision on delays in the development of wave energy technology.
It said it will now focus its efforts on wind, biomass and solar energy instead.
A spokeswoman told BBC Scotland the company still believed marine energy could provide commercial opportunities in the future.
She said: "Delays in wave technology progress and a focus in E.ON on other more mature renewable technologies have been part of the decision to reduce our level of effort in the marine area.
"Having successfully built up a leading position in the marine energy area, we will continue to monitor technologies and work towards being prepared when marine energy is more mature and we are in the right position to move forward."
Pelamis Wave Power said the decision by E.ON would not affect its plans to begin generating electricity on a commercial scale.
The company will continue to work with Scottish Power Renewables on the development of its P2 wave energy device at the European Marine Energy Centre, known as EMEC, in Orkney.
The company said: "E.ON's decision at this stage does not in any way change our development trajectory.
"We will be continuing operation of the first P2 machine at EMEC over the coming months, alongside the Scottish Power Renewables-owned P2 unit.
"Together these have now delivered over 8,000 hours of grid connected operation in a broad range of conditions, including some 160 MWh of electricity generation.
"This experience in conjunction with the major development programme we are undertaking with the Energy Technologies Institute gives us a unique and solid platform from which to deliver the first commercial Pelamis machines over the next couple of years."
The family, from Leeds, arrived for their daughter's graduation in Hull on Wednesday and parked in a rush.
As reported in the Hull Daily Mail, they approached St Stephen's staff Carmen Railton and Ebrima Touray after spending an hour looking for their car.
The vehicle was eventually found at the King William car park.
More stories from East Yorkshire and northern Lincolnshire
Ms Railton, a customer service operator, said: "They had been looking around for an hour when they approached me at about 17:30.
"They said they knew the car was in a pay and display car park, which was £2.50 all day and closed at 18:30."
Ms Railton showed the woman - who was with two of her children aged six and four - photographs of Hull car parks on her phone to see if she could jog her memory.
But she said they realised it was King William car park when her husband returned and "could remember a gold horse statue".
Ms Railton and Mr Touray took the family to the car park but found it was locked.
"There was a number on the gate but there was no answer because we later found out the security man was visiting family," she added.
The family eventually got their car back at 21:30 BST when the night security at St Stephen's were contacted by security at King William, and drove home after paying £20.
Mr Touray told the Hull Daily Mail the pair had worked later than their shift, but it was worth it.
The changes were agreed by Finance Secretary John Swinney as part of his negotiations with the Treasury over Scotland's future finances.
The Scottish Fiscal Commission already scrutinises the Scottish government's forecasts for devolved tax receipts.
MSPs passed a bill laying out its full role and responsibilities.
Holyrood's finance committee had initially called for the independent body to be allowed to produce official forecasts.
But it later voted down its own proposals under pressure from Mr Swinney, who had proposed that the Scottish government would put together the forecasts.
Mr Swinney had questioned whether the fiscal commission would be able to make "robust and reliable" tax forecasts.
And he said allowing the commission to make forecasts would increase its operating costs and could "give rise to significant duplication" or even threaten its independence.
His comments led to SNP MSPs Kenneth Gibson, Mark McDonald and John Mason and independent Jean Urquhart voting to reject the committee's original recommendations.
The move was described by Conservative MSP Gavin Brown as "a poor day for parliament, a disastrous day for the finance committee and bad news for the scrutiny of Scotland's finances".
Mr Brown added: "Several committee members reversed their position from an agreed finance committee report just a few weeks ago.
"The stark contrast between what the finance committee agreed in its report and what certain members argued today is staggering. We are left with a bill that creates an advisory body instead of an independent scrutiny body."
Just a fortnight later, Mr Swinney confirmed that the commission would be able to make forecasts after all.
This was as a result of the deal he had struck with the Treasury over the fiscal framework that will underpin the devolution of new tax and welfare powers to Holyrood under the Scotland Bill.
Mr Swinney told the finance committee: "The key issue I've agreed with the Treasury is that forecasts of tax revenues and GDP must be undertaken by an independent body, and that will be the focus of my attention in drafting the amendments.
"I'm not at all keen to reconstruct the fiscal commission, as it is operating independently, but the very precise agreement we've arrived at is in relation to the issue of forecasting."
They warn that growing numbers of skyscrapers, wind turbines, power lines, planes and drones are threatening billions of flying animals.
Researchers in Argentina and Wales have called for airspace zones where human activity is partially or totally restricted to reduce the aerial conflict.
The report is published in the journal Science.
Sergio Lambertucci, from the University of Comahue and the Argentina Research Council (Conicet), said: "Most of the conservation in reserves and national parks is mainly focussed on the ground or more recently on water. None of them have focussed on the airspace."
Human cost
The skies are becoming increasingly crowded.
Scientists estimate that millions of animals die each year from collisions with tall buildings, power lines and wind turbines.
But the aerial conflict can cause problems for humans too.
The research team, also from Swansea University in Wales, says that bird strikes with planes have killed more than 200 people globally and have damaged thousands of planes.
The impact of drones is yet to be assessed, but the researchers fear they could be a growing problem.
The scientists say that areas of pristine airspace should be created.
These could be temporary zones, for example to help protect birds on their seasonal migrations, or more permanent areas, put in place over key habitats.
The scientists add that the impact on wildlife needs to be taken into account in the planning stages of major construction projects.
Dr Lambertucci said: "If you know all the species that use that area before you build an airport or a building or a wind farm, you will probably be able to reduce a lot of the conflicts."
Kate Wilson, an environmental campaigner, had a two-year relationship with Mark Kennedy.
The Metropolitan Police has settled seven other cases out of court - but this is the first time the force has dropped its defence before judges.
Ms Wilson told the BBC that she still did not know why she had been targeted.
Last November, Scotland Yard issued an unprecedented public apology and paid compensation to seven women who had relationships with undercover officers.
Speaking at the time, Assistant Commissioner Martin Hewitt of the Metropolitan Police said the relationships had been "wrong" and were a "gross violation of personal dignity and integrity".
Ms Wilson was the eighth member of that group and fought on in an attempt to discover more about what had happened.
Who were the deceived women?
On Friday last week, lawyers for the Metropolitan Police told a High Court judge that the force had already apologised and was formally withdrawing its defence against Ms Wilson's wide-ranging claims.
The withdrawal of the defence means the force can no longer challenge any of Ms Wilson's legal action, including that police chiefs had been negligent in failing to stop relationships from forming.
But, in a legal twist, Ms Wilson's victory also means she may never see documents that explain how and why she was targeted.
Ms Wilson said: "It is now clear that wrongdoing goes far beyond the individual undercover officers.
"Yet we are denied access to any information about the extent of the intrusion into our lives, who knew and how far up the hierarchy it went.
"How many more women may have been affected by these abuses?
"How many more children may have been fathered by these undercover officers?
"The only way there can be real justice is if the inquiry releases the cover names and opens the files so that these women can come forward themselves."
Campaigners predict the Wilson judgement could help seven similar cases - including one revealed on Monday.
A joint investigation by the BBC's Newsnight and the Guardian newspaper revealed a new undercover officer, known only as Carlo Neri, who proposed to an activist he met while infiltrating socialist groups.
Scotland Yard has tried to maintain a position of neither confirming nor denying the existence of specific undercover officers, other than those that judges have ruled should be named.
Campaigners say that unless police chiefs reveal how many officers had undercover relationships in the last 40 years, potential victims will never know the truth.
The forthcoming inquiry into undercover policing is expected to consider in the coming months whether more information can be disclosed to the public - or whether police chiefs have a duty to protect the identity of former undercover officers.
PSNI Superintendent David Moore said the number of deaths for 2013 was still one of the lowest recorded in 80 years.
But he added that one death is "one too many".
Environment Minister Mark H Durkan said reducing the number of deaths and serious injuries on Northern Ireland's roads was vital.
"It only takes one bad choice to ruin a life. We all share the road, so we all share the responsibility to prevent these collisions," he said.
"Our ambition is now that of zero road deaths and I urge all road users in Northern Ireland to commit to sharing the road to zero."
Road to Zero is a safety campaign launched by the government in April 2013 that aims to portray the human sorrow behind road deaths by showing the impact on the families left behind.
The minister said that, subject to executive approval, a Road Traffic Amendment Bill would be introduced in 2014 to take further steps to tackle those who choose to drink and drive.
It would also seek to address the high numbers of young people killed on the roads.
Supt Moore said: "If everyone slowed down, did not drive after drinking or taking drugs, wore a seatbelt and drove with greater care and attention, then more people would live. It really is that simple."
The latest statistics show that 24 people who died in car accidents last year were driving.
Twelve of those killed were passengers; 10 were motorcyclists; seven were pedestrians and three were cyclists.
Two children died on Northern Ireland's roads last year, compared with five in 2012.
A total of 14,626 people have lost their lives on NI roads since records began in 1931 and 75,070 have suffered serious injuries since these were first recorded in 1971.
In 1931, there were 114 road deaths. This number increased over the years and peaked in 1972 with 372 deaths.
In 2012, road fatalities were the lowest on record.
Sixteen championship events across 12 Commonwealth Games sports will take place in 2017, including athletics, gymnastics and swimming.
And some events will act as qualifying opportunities for the Gold Coast 2018 Games.
A selection of the Team Scotland events will be live streamed by BBC Scotland later this year.
"Almost every athlete who competes for Team Scotland at the next Commonwealth Games in Gold Coast and onwards to 2022 and beyond, will have competed in their sport's Scottish Championships on their path to international success," said chair of Commonwealth Games Scotland Paul Bush.
"So when we are watching these events we are watching Team Scotland's future stars in action.
"I am particularly delighted that BBC Scotland has recognised the important role that the Team Scotland Series will play in showcasing the best of Scottish sport and the build-up to Gold Coast 2018 and would like to thank them for their support."
Glasgow 2014 gold medallist Kimberley Renicks will be among those competing in Saturday's judo event at Meadowbank Sports Arena.
And retired judoka Euan Burton, who was Scotland's flag bearer at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games, said: "The Scottish Open has always played a part in the development of Scottish judo athletes. All our medallists from Team Scotland in Glasgow 2014 had utilised the event at some stage along their performance pathway.
"In all sports, that goal of competing in the Commonwealth Games is a progressive journey, which includes the key milestone of a Scottish Championships. The Team Scotland Series is a great way to highlight the importance of these events. I'm really proud that judo is the sport to kick it all off on Saturday."

The club are 15th in Serie A, four points above the relegation zone after securing only one win from their last 11 games.
Colantuono, 53, was only appointed last June on a two-year contract.
De Canio, who signs a contract until the end of the season, previously managed Udinese from 1999 to 2001.
Their next match is away to seventh-placed Sassuolo on 20 March.

Putting to one side for a moment Mr Trump's claims regarding Mrs Clinton's chances, we ask - how would a female Trump fare in the US presidential race?
Does being a woman confer electoral advantage - would our putative "Mrs Trump" be a winner?
Hillary Clinton is more popular among woman voters than among men, as Vox explains using recent polling figures from Morning Consult.
She is also, contrary to Mr Trump's assertion, much more popular among woman voters than he is. But what the polls do not show is whether those woman voters are Clinton supporters because of her gender or because of her policies.
In fact, younger women in some polls are more likely to support Bernie Sanders than Mrs Clinton for the Democratic nomination. Millennials "do not care" that Mrs Clinton is a woman, wrote Molly Roberts in her contribution to a Politico article entitled Hillary's woman problem.
In February FiveThirtyEight commissioned Morning Consult to find out if voters were more or less likely to support a woman candidate. While most of those polled said that a candidate's gender would have no impact on how they voted, they did find that more Republicans than Democrats said they would be more likely to vote for a candidate who was male.
Indeed, for Republican voters, the preference among women for a male candidate is nearly as big as among men. This suggests that Mr Trump would not be at an advantage - at least during the primary season - if he were a Mrs Trump instead.
Donald Trump's bombast does not seem to put his supporters off. His speeches are peppered with outspoken criticisms of his rivals and his Twitter insults are so frequent that the New York Times even maintains an inventory.
Could a Mrs Trump get away with this?
Probably not, according to linguistics professor Deborah Tannen, who explains the double-bind facing women who run for office:
"If a candidate - or manager - talks or acts in ways expected of women, she risks being seen as under-confident or even incompetent," she wrote in the Washington Post.
"But if she talks or acts in ways expected of leaders, she is likely to be seen as too aggressive and will be subject to innumerable other negative judgments - and epithets - that apply only to women."
Donald Trump: The schlong and the short of it
Can Donald Trump really change his image?
Mr Trump's hair and perma-tan have attracted more column inches than the appearance of most male politicians. But has he had to deal with the sort of personal attacks that female contenders face daily?
Take this, from Mr Trump himself, on former Republican contender Carly Fiorina: "Look at that face. Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president?"
Ms Fiorina responded: "I think women all over this country heard very clearly what Mr Trump said."
Barack Obama has acknowledged the extra sartorial challenges facing female candidates, telling Politico that in 2008 Mrs Clinton, then his rival for the Democratic nomination, "had to do everything that I had to do, except, like Ginger Rogers, backwards in heels.
"She had to wake up earlier than I did because she had to get her hair done."
Female politicians - and professional women generally - have to fork out for a large number of different, appropriately styled and flattering outfits in a range of colours (not for nothing does Mrs Clinton describe herself as a "pantsuit aficionado" in her Twitter biog). Their male counterparts can get away with a narrow selection of suits and ties, saving the mental energy needed to plan a campaign wardrobe.
Is insulting women's looks the same as mocking Trump's hair?
Mr Trump has been married three times, divorced twice, and has five children. His current wife, Melania, a Slovenian-born former model, is nearly 24 years his junior.
Would a woman with such a marital track record succeed in politics - or would she need to demonstrate her cookie-baking credentials and discuss the strains of "having it all" as she combined her career with her large family?
Mrs Clinton's personal life (one high-profile marriage, one daughter) has been pored over for decades.
And her decision to stay married was attacked by Ms Fiorina in a Republican debate earlier this year: "Listen, if my husband did what Bill Clinton did, I would have left him long ago," the Republican said.
And Mrs Clinton was roundly criticised when she dismissed cookie-baking in favour of policy-making.
"You know, I suppose I could have stayed home and baked cookies and had teas, but what I decided to do was to fulfil my profession, which I entered before my husband was in public life," she said in 1992, when her husband was running for president.
Mr Trump has made several public comments praising the physical attractiveness of his oldest daughter Ivanka.
In 2006 he told a talkshow audience that "if Ivanka weren't my daughter perhaps I'd be dating her". And in 2015 he told a Rolling Stone reporter: "Yeah, she's really something, and what a beauty, that one. If I weren't happily married and, ya know, her father..."

Mr McDonnell, 62, and his wife were found guilty in 2014 of accepting gifts from a businessman in exchange for promoting a dietary supplement.
The high court rejected the government's broad interpretation of what constitutes bribery.
The court was unanimous in its decision.
"There is no doubt that this case is distasteful; it may be worse than that," Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in the opinion.
"But our concern is not with tawdry tales of Ferraris, Rolexes, and ball gowns. It is instead with the broader legal implications of the government's boundless interpretation of the federal bribery statute."
Mr McDonnell was convicted of taking in excess of $175,000 (£135,504) in gifts and loans - including a Rolex watch, designer clothing and vacations - from Star Scientific boss Jonnie Williams in return for promoting the businessman's vitamin firm.
Mr Williams had testified under immunity as the prosecution's witness.
The Republican governor, once a rising star in his party, has said he was never behind any "official acts" or government favours to benefit Mr Williams.
He argued he only performed routine courtesies for the businessman like setting up meetings and hosting events.
The Supreme Court agreed with Mr McDonnell, ruling that "setting up a meeting, calling another public official, or hosting an event does not, standing alone, qualify as an official act".
The ruling provided a more limited interpretation of what bars public officials from taking gifts in exchange for "official acts", which could make it more difficult to prosecute similar cases in the future.
The former governor was sentenced to two years in prison, but was released on bail while he awaited his appeal.
His wife, Maureen McDonnell, was sentenced to one year and one day in prison, but also remained free during her appeals process.
The case will be sent back to lower courts to decide whether prosecutors have enough evidence to retry Mr McDonnell.
In October, 15% of people left Maelor Hospital without being seen- its target is 5% by next March.
It also has a higher risk-adjusted mortality rate than regional neighbours Ysbyty Gwynedd and Glan Clwyd.
The two issues are in a report that will be discussed by Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board on 8 December.
It was written by chief operating officer Morag Olsen, who said: "We need to understand why Wrexham Maelor Hospital is such an outlier in terms of north Wales performance."
In the report, she added that comparisons with similar-sized English trusts showed "there is something unique to Wexham Maelor, its practices and how its population uses the emergency department service".
Its north Wales neighbours have already hit the A&E target, with 4.36% of patients leaving Ysbyty Gwynedd and 4.54% leaving Glan Clwyd without being seen.
In the same report Ms Olsen says the reason for the risk-adjusted mortality rate - a figure that takes into account risk of death - is also being reviewed as it is higher than that at the other two general hospitals.
The report said findings "will be discussed and advise the focus for future improvement efforts".
Betsi Cadwaladr was put into special measures - the highest possible level of Welsh government intervention - in June over concerns about its leadership.
One of the suspects is understood to be 28-year-old Muslim convert Michael Adebolajo, according to sources.
He and another man are under arrest in hospital after being shot by police after Wednesday's attack in Woolwich.
Prime Minister David Cameron has said the UK will "never give in to terror or terrorism".
Shortly after the killing a man, thought to be Mr Adebolajo, was filmed by a passer-by, saying he carried out the attack because British soldiers killed Muslims every day.
Sources said reports the men had featured in "several investigations" in recent years - but were not deemed to be planning an attack - "were not inaccurate".
They confirmed one of the suspects was intercepted by police last year while leaving the country.
Speaking outside 10 Downing Street on Thursday, Mr Cameron said: "One of the best ways of defeating terrorism is to go about our normal lives."
He said there was no justification in Islam for the attacks, which were "solely and purely" the responsibility of the individuals involved.
Across London there are 1,200 extra police officers on duty in response to the attacks, Assistant Commissioner Simon Byrne said.
Earlier officers raided a flat believed to belong to one of the attackers on a Greenwich housing estate.
Neighbours said two sisters in their 30s, an older woman and a teenage boy were taken away in a police van.
An address in Saxilby, Lincolnshire, is also being searched in connection with the attack.
According to BBC sources, Mr Adebolajo, a Briton of Nigerian descent, comes from a devout Christian family but took up Islam after leaving college in 2001.
He was described as "bright and witty" when he was at college.
Witnesses said the soldier was attacked at 14:20 BST with knives and a cleaver in Artillery Place, near Woolwich Barracks, by two men shouting Allahu Akbar (God is Great).
The men made no attempt to flee and encouraged people to take pictures of them and the victim.
In footage obtained by ITV News, one of the men was filmed wielding a bloodied meat cleaver and making political statements.
"You think politicians are going to die?," he said. "No, it's going to be the average guy - like you - and your children.
"So get rid of them. Tell them to bring our troops back so you can all live in peace."
Another eyewitness said the police "didn't even get a chance to get out of their car".
"They just had to shoot him because he was just hurtling towards them," Graham Wilders told the BBC. "And then the other one, with the handgun, lifted it up and obviously they shot him."
In other developments:
Mayor of London Boris Johnson said it would be wrong to blame the killing on either Islam or British foreign policy.
Visiting the scene, Mr Johnson said: "Plainly this was a horrific incident. Everything that I have seen and heard this morning leads me to conclude two things: that those guilty will be brought speedily to justice and second, I have no doubt that Londoners can go about their lives in the normal way today."
Mr Cameron highlighted the actions of cub scout leader Ingrid Loyau-Kennett as demonstrating "confronting extremism is a job for us all".
"When told by the attacker he wanted to start a war in London, she replied, 'You're going to lose. It is only you versus many.' She spoke for us all," Mr Cameron said.
According to the Daily Telegraph Ms Loyau-Kennett asked the man: "Would you like to give me what you have in your hands?"
"He was covered with blood," she said. "I thought I had better talk to him before he starts attacking somebody else."

The fact that the suspects were "known" to the authorities doesn't at this stage explain at all which agency knew precisely what and when.
The Security Service and police have finite resources - which is why they seek to focus on the most dangerous or immediate threats - and then later try to find out what they can about anyone else on the "periphery" of that investigation.
The P word emerged some years ago when it emerged that MI5 and the police had partial information about the ringleader of the 7/7 bombs. They both insisted at the later inquests they had no intelligence that he would become a threat to life.
So these are the questions that the security services will now need to answer: did they know very little - or did they know enough to justify devoting further resources to investigating either man.
The fact that one of the pair may have been stopped in relation to his travel plans - and the circumstances of that are not clear - could prove to be highly significant.
She says the suspect told her the dead man was a British soldier, adding: "I killed him because he kills Muslims over there and I am fed up that people kill Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan."
The Muslim Council of Britain said the murder was "a truly barbaric act that has no basis in Islam and we condemn this unreservedly".
Communities Minister Baroness Warsi said there would always "be individuals and groups who will try and use these moments to divide us... but I think what we are seeing coming out of this tragedy and what is emerging is faith communities coming out together and showing a unified condemnation of this."
Meanwhile, armed forces personnel based in London and elsewhere have been told to be more vigilant.
That is on top of the extra precautions now being taken at London's 10 or so main barracks.
Chief of Defence Staff General Sir David Richards: "This was outside the base and I am confident that security is as tight as it has ever been. It is a very difficult balancing act. We are very proud of the uniform we wear. We have huge support around the country. I think this is a completely isolated incident - we will wait for confirmation - but that is my view."
He said there was "no reason we should not wear our uniforms with pride but on a common-sense basis".
BBC defence correspondent Caroline Wyatt said that, since British forces intervened in Iraq and Afghanistan, they and their families have been well aware they might be targets at home.
At least two plots by Islamist extremists to kill soldiers in the UK have been foiled in recent years.
Lawyers for singer Katy Perry contacted Fernando Sosa, who had sold the design via an online directory of blueprints.
Left Shark became a viral hit after appearing to forget its steps during a routine with the 30-year-old artist.
3D-printing is becoming an increasing headache for companies trying to protect their intellectual property.
Falling costs of 3D printers, coupled with a growing community of model designers, means many small products can be made to a relatively high quality.
In a letter, the lawyers said Perry had not consented to the use of the shark, which was being sold through Shapeways.com.
"Your unauthorised display and sale of this product infringes our client's exclusive rights," read the letter, posted on Instagram by Mr Sosa.
Mr Sosa was selling the design for $24.99 (£16). After the item was removed by Shapeways, Mr Sosa submitted the design to a different site, Thingiverse, and offered it free-of-charge.
On the site, Mr Sosa wrote: "Apparently sharks, palm trees and beach balls are all now copyrighted... anyways I'm making this available to everyone.
"Now you can 3D print your very own Left Shark. Just make sure you download this file ASAP since just in case it's taken down."
Intellectual property lawyer Dai Davis told the BBC he expects disputes like this to become more common, and that industry must adapt to facilitate demand.
"In the same way copyright is difficult to protect in music because of the way the internet has allowed piracy sites, in the same way you already have lots of sites popping up which will increasingly allow unlawful copies of design rights [for objects]."
He suggested that companies would perhaps be wiser to offer their own official 3D-printed designs, rather than putting effort into removing designs by others.
The man inside one the shark costumes, professional dancer Scott Myrick, said of the performance: "The visibility was terrible. I ran into a palm tree but the camera missed it."

Twelve people were taken to hospital as a precaution after an underground cable caught fire, releasing carbon monoxide outside the shop on Spencer Road.
The Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service said it received a report of a smell of gas at about 12:20 BST.
The 12 people have since been released from hospital.
Joe Kincaid, the managing director of the Sandwich Company, told BBC Radio Foyle that the situation could have been worse.
"My staff were quite unsure about what was happening at the beginning.
"We have one staff member who lives in the apartment above the shop and he felt quite nauseous.
"You don't realise with these cables underneath the ground what can happen."
Kieran Doherty, district commander with the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue, has said there could have been fatalities if this incident had happened at night.
"As a matter of procedure we always bring our gas monitors and straight away picked up large quantities of carbon monoxide.
"The amount we picked up would have been life-threatening.
"We then evacuated the premises."
The Union Chain Bridge - built in 1820 - crosses the River Tweed from Fishwick in Berwickshire to Horncliffe in Northumberland.
It has been on Historic England's Heritage at Risk register since 2013.
Investigation work starts on 26 June for up to four weeks meaning it will be shut to vehicles from 3 July on weekdays for a fortnight.
When it was officially opened nearly 200 years ago, the structure was the longest wrought iron suspension bridge in the world.
However, it has become structurally unsafe and can now only be accessed by one light vehicle at a time.
Northumberland County Council (NCC), Scottish Borders Council (SBC) and the Friends of Union Chain Bridge are working together on the project to safeguard the future of the bridge near Berwick-upon-Tweed.
It requires urgent conservation and engineering repairs to secure its future.
A funding bid for the restoration is now being prepared for the Heritage Lottery Fund, with a maximum of £5m available towards the bulk of the work.
The county council's cabinet will meet next month to consider recommendations to contribute funding over three years towards the scheme, which it is hoped can be completed by 2020 - the 200th anniversary of the bridge's opening.
Other stakeholders are also expected to make "significant contributions".
The investigation work hopes to provide a greater understanding of the status and condition of the bridge - allowing a "more robust bid" to be submitted to the HLF.
Diversions will be in place for traffic on weekdays while the bridge will be open to pedestrians and cyclists at all times and to vehicles at weekends.
Glen Sanderson, cabinet member for environment and local services at NCC, said: "The Union Chain Bridge is of international significance but its condition has been of growing concern for a number of years.
"Along with our colleagues in Scotland we are committed to safeguarding its future and status, both as a key transport link and as a contributor to the local tourism economy.
"The site investigation work is vital ahead of any major project starting and engineers will be working to keep disruption to a minimum throughout."
His counterpart with SBC, Gordon Edgar, also welcomed the move forward.
He said: "I am pleased we are seeing progress in the bid to retain the Union Chain Bridge as the world's oldest single span suspension bridge still used by traffic.
"The iconic crossing has provided a vital link between Scotland and England for almost 200 years, and we want that to remain the case.
"The short-term closure of the bridge to vehicles will cause some inconvenience but will provide important information for its long-term future."
Robbie Hunter, who chairs the Friends of the Union Chain Bridge, said it was pleased with the "significant financial support" of both councils.
He said they would continue to "lobby hard" for HLF funding.
"It would be an unforgivable tragedy if we failed to save this engineering icon," he said.
Britain's largest retailer said stores in Bristol, Bracknell, Nottingham, Denton, Bromborough and Preston will close next month.
Six Homeplus stores, which sold clothing, electrical goods and furniture, were included in 43 store closures Tesco revealed in January.
Tesco will try to offer affected workers alternative roles, it said.
"We've taken the difficult decision to close our remaining six Homeplus stores. Our priority is now to explain what this announcement means for our colleagues and wherever possible, offer them alternative roles with Tesco," said a spokesman for the retailer.
Chief executive Dave Lewis is cutting costs and closing and selling parts of the Tesco empire in the wake of stiffer competition from cheaper rivals such as Aldi and Lidl.
Tesco reported the worst results in its history with a record pre-tax loss of £6.4bn for the year to the end of February.
The supermarket giant is still being investigated by the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) after it overstated its half-year profit forecast last August by £263m.
Police hope the messages will bring forward new evidence and eyewitnesses to the murder of John Hatch last year.
The phones have been identified as being in use on 16 December close to the route Mr Hatch travelled on the night he was killed.
About 7,500 people are expected to receive the messages asking them to contact police.
The messages will also direct people to a website to answer a few questions that the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) said would help its officers.
"We believe this new investigative technique will reach witnesses," said OPP detective superintendent Dave Traux in a statement.
"They may help us solve it by volunteering information and potentially remove a dangerous offender from society before they harm someone else," he said.
The OPP said it used a court order to discover the numbers of all the active phones known to have been used last year in the vicinity of the murder location in Nepean, Ontario.
Ontario police have used the mass-messaging technique, known as a tower dump, before now, but its use was challenged in Canadian courts after one local force applied to use it to contact more than 100,000 people.
After that, the courts ruled that any requests to use tower dumps had to minimise any potential invasion of privacy.
OPP said its court order only sought phone numbers rather than names or other personal information about the owners of the handsets.
A C$50,000 (£30,000) reward for information leading to the arrest of Mr Hatch's killer was put up in June by Ontario's government. In August, police used a van bearing Mr Hatch's image to canvas the route he is believed to have travelled. | Jobcentres should be replaced by community corporations bringing residents and businesses together to create jobs, an MP has said.

And the Paisley club say they expect Gary Teale to apply for the post he has occupied since replacing the sacked Tommy Craig in December.
St Mirren picked up their eighth win of a disappointing Premiership campaign at Ross County on Saturday.
But their nine-year stay in the top flight was brought to an end the night before when Motherwell beat Kilmarnock.
"As a board of directors we have always made what we believed to be the best decisions for the good of the club," read a statement from the Buddies.
"This season, unfortunately, we have got some of those decisions wrong, and we hold our hands up and accept responsibility."
Teale, 36, was put in charge until the end of the season and has spoken regularly of his desire to stay on.
However, he must now enter an open selection process if he is to lead the team next season.
"We are now inviting applications from managers interested in managing this great club with first class facilities and excellent young players," added the statement.
"The board would like to place on record our thanks to both Gary Teale and David Longwell for taking over the reins after Tommy Craig's departure and whilst the job of avoiding relegation proved to be a step too far their commitment, effort and endeavour has been there for all to see.
"We would expect Gary to put his name forward for the vacant manager's position and we will duly consider his application along with all others we receive."
The airport will be closed for six weeks, starting in February 2017.
The announcement comes after airlines threatened to stop flying to Abuja because of safety concerns over the state of the runway.
During the repairs, domestic and international flights to Abuja will be diverted to the city of Kaduna more than 160km (100 miles) away.
BBC Nigeria correspondent Martin Patience says passengers diverted to Kaduna will face a two-hour journey along a road that has recently been hit by a spate of kidnappings.

The hour-long flight from Nigeria's commercial centre Lagos to the capital is used as a shuttle by many businesses.
Critics are warning that the closure will prove hugely damaging to the country's economy, which is already reeling from its worst recession in decades.
But the government says that by carrying out the major work in one go, it will not have to make smaller repairs in the future.
The weekend-long event started at Carlisle Castle and ended 69 miles (111km) later at Newcastle's Quayside.
It was organised by adventure sports event company, Rat Race, which described the event as "not for the faint hearted".
The winner, Ian Hammett, managed it in nine hours and 43 minutes. Some 800 people completed the route.
Organisers described it as a success and said that entries for the 2016 race would soon be available.
His swift military interventions in Ukraine - annexing Crimea in March 2014 - and Syria - bombing anti-government rebels this year - stunned many observers.
Mr Putin, 63, has made no secret of his determination to reassert Russian power, after years of perceived humiliation by the US and its Nato allies.
In 2005 he famously called the collapse of the Soviet Union "the biggest geopolitical catastrophe of the [20th] Century".
He has spoken bitterly about Nato's expansion after the Cold War up to Russia's borders.
He sees himself as a defender of ethnic Russians' rights in former Soviet republics, including in Nato's Baltic members Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.
It is well documented that he grew up in a tough, communal housing block in Leningrad - now St Petersburg - and got into fights with local boys who were often bigger and stronger. That drove him to take up judo.
According to the Kremlin website, Mr Putin wanted to work in Soviet intelligence "even before he finished school".
"Fifty years ago the Leningrad street taught me a rule: if a fight is inevitable you have to throw the first punch," Mr Putin said in October 2015.
It is better to fight "terrorists" in Syria, he explained, than to wait for them to strike in Russia.
He also used the crude language of a streetfighter when defending his military onslaught against separatist rebels in Chechnya, vowing to wipe them out "even in the toilet".
The mainly Muslim North Caucasus republic was left devastated by heavy fighting in 1999-2000, in which thousands of civilians died.
For Mr Putin, Georgia became another Caucasus flashpoint.
In 2008 his forces routed the Georgian army and took over two breakaway regions - Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
It was a very personal clash with Georgia's then pro-Nato President, Mikheil Saakashvili. And it showed Mr Putin's readiness to undermine pro-Western leaders in former Soviet states.
Vladimir Putin: From spy to president
Putin still in fashion 15 years on
Vladimir Putin's formative German years
Church lends weight to Putin patriotism
Patriotic fervour on the rise in Russia
Mr Putin appears to relish his macho image, helped by election stunts like flying into Chechnya in a fighter jet in 2000 and appearing at a Russian bikers' festival by the Black Sea in 2011.
The Night Wolves bikers' gang played a prominent role in whipping up patriotic fervour during Russia's takeover of Crimea in 2014.
But Mr Putin has also shown a gentler side on Russian state media, cuddling his dogs and helping to care for endangered Amur tigers.
He is a proud former officer of the Soviet secret police, the KGB, with an entourage largely drawn from that old Soviet security elite.
The 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi was a lavish showcase for the Putin era: it cost Russia an estimated $51bn (£34bn) - the highest price tag for any Olympics.
He is passionate about ice hockey, like judo - and state TV has shown his skills on the ice.
Despite his long reign President Putin's approval ratings are still above 80%, Russian media report - the kind of popularity that most Western leaders can only dream of.
Mr Putin's brand of patriotism dominates Russia's media, so those ratings do not give the whole picture. But dissenters do struggle to be heard.
He was re-elected president in 2012 for a third, six-year term in the Kremlin. Even in the previous four years, as prime minister under President Dmitry Medvedev, he was clearly holding the levers of power.
In his first two terms as president Mr Putin was buoyed by healthy income from oil and gas - Russia's main exports.
Living standards for most Russians improved. There was a new sense of stability and national pride. But the price, in the opinion of many, was the erosion of Russia's fledgling democracy.
In the run-up to his re-election, Russia was gripped by the biggest anti-government protests since Soviet times.
Protest leaders have been jailed or otherwise marginalised - including the most prominent dissident, Alexei Navalny. He made a name for himself by exposing rampant corruption, labelling Mr Putin's United Russia as "the party of crooks and thieves".
Early on Mr Putin set about marginalising liberals, often replacing them with more hardline allies or neutrals seen as little more than yes-men.
Yeltsin's favourites such as Boris Berezovsky and Vladimir Gusinsky - businessmen who grew rich in the chaos of the first privatisations - ended up as fugitives living in exile abroad.
Since the 2008 global financial crisis Mr Putin has struggled with an anaemic economy, hit by recession and more recently a plunge in the price of oil. Russia lost many foreign investors and billions of dollars in capital flight.
In 2014 the rouble slumped to its weakest rate against the dollar since 1998.
The conflict in Ukraine, which erupted in November 2013, has also hurt the Russian economy.
Mr Putin's support for pro-Russian separatists in Crimea and eastern Ukraine triggered far-reaching Western sanctions, targeting powerful figures close to him, as well as Russian banks, arms firms and the energy sector.
He hit back with a ban on most imported Western food and drink, and the bitter tit-for-tat dispute caused the biggest diplomatic freeze since the end of the Cold War.
Russia ceased to be a "strategic partner" of the EU. Mr Putin poured scorn on the new pro-Western government in Ukraine, bitterly denouncing what he called the "coup" which forced pro-Moscow President Viktor Yanukovych to flee to Russia.
The Kiev government and Western leaders said Russia was clearly sending heavy weapons and troops to eastern Ukraine - and Mr Putin denied that, while admitting that Russian "volunteers" were helping the rebels.
Mr Putin's relations with the UK were already frosty because of the 2006 radioactive poisoning of anti-Putin campaigner Alexander Litvinenko in London.
Agents of the Russian state were accused of murdering Litvinenko, a former Russian secret service agent. Andrei Lugovoi - wanted by British police over the murder - became a Russian MP in 2007, with parliamentary immunity.
International concern about human rights in Russia grew with the jailing of oligarch Mikhail Khodorkovsky, once one of the world's richest billionaires, and of anti-Putin activists from the punk group Pussy Riot.
Mr Putin's third term has been marked by conservative Russian nationalism. It has strong echoes of tsarist absolutism, encouraged by the Orthodox Church.
The Church denounced Pussy Riot and supported a ban on groups spreading gay "propaganda" among teenagers.
Any non-governmental organisations (NGOs) receiving foreign funding were ordered to register as "foreign agents" - a label echoing notorious Soviet-era spy mania.
Mr Putin was once described as a workaholic by the mother of his two daughters, Lyudmila.
After nearly 30 years of marriage, the couple jointly announced they were divorcing in 2013. "Vladimir Vladimirovich is completely drowned in work," Mrs Putin said.
It was a rare glimpse into Mr Putin's family life. He has kept his two daughters and financial affairs well shielded from publicity.
But according to a recent Reuters news investigation, his younger daughter, Katerina, is thriving in academia, has a top administrative job at Moscow State University and performs in acrobatic rock 'n' roll competitions.
Reuters says her name is Tikhonova and she is the partner of Kirill Shamalov, son of a wealthy, longstanding Putin associate, Nikolai Shamalov.
The elder Putin daughter, Maria, is also an academic, specialising in endocrinology.
Reuters found that several other powerful figures close to Mr Putin - often ex-KGB - also have successful children in lucrative management jobs.
Alexei Navalny called it a "neo-feudal system" that looks after a small, privileged class.
The 29-year-old suffered a blow to the head at Ulster in February 2016.

Shingler made his first appearance of the season last weekend against Connacht as Scarlets registered their first win of the season.
He said: "I was suffering from headaches and dizziness for a long time and I was a little bit concerned if it was ever going to get better.
"I thought 'this could be the end'. Luckily it has cleared up itself and here we are."
Shingler says he will not let the threat of another concussion affect his approach.
"It could occur again if I have a bad bang. I'm not too concerned. I'm not holding anything back because of it."
He is now looking forward to Scarlets' trip to Treviso on Saturday as they look to climb from eighth in the table.
"If we lost at home against Connacht we would have been in a tricky situation - it's great to have got that win," Shingler added.
"Again we are under pressure this weekend as we are chasing from quite far behind now."
The research followed more than 56,000 women from Australia and New Zealand who had undergone IVF.
It found that 33% of women had a baby as a result of their first IVF cycle. By the eighth cycle, the success rate had increased to between 54% and 77%.
The study offers a clearer estimate of the chances of success from undergoing multiple cycles, the researchers said.
Success rates are often quoted on one round alone, they said.
"If you keep coming back for more treatment, your success rate ends up being higher," said co-author Prof Michael Chapman from the University of New South Wales.
However, he said outcomes varied significantly depending on age.
The study, published in the Medical Journal of Australia, found the overall chance of having a baby by the eighth cycle was at least 54% and possibly as high as 77%.
The range was given because some women in the study did not complete eight rounds. The lower estimate - 54% - assumes that women would not have had a baby if they continued with more IVF after an unsuccessful cycle.
Although repeated attempts increased the overall success rate, results varied according to the mother's age.
Sydney couple Debora Gallo, 39, and Nina Ponten, 35, went through five "rollercoaster" fertility treatment cycles before they had their baby girl, Juliette.
"We did not get clear estimates of success rates at all - we were just going in blind and thinking we will give it another go," said Ms Gallo.
The couple started their first fertility treatment two-and-a-half years ago and completed three rounds of IUI (intrauterine insemination) followed by two IVF cycles, which Ms Gallo described as "incredibly emotional".
She said the pair found the IVF process draining and invasive, after hoping to conceive during the first cycle.
"We look at her and it is all worth it," Ms Gallo said.
"For women starting treatment before the age of 35, 44% will take home a baby after their first cycle," Associate Prof Georgina Chambers told the BBC.
"Two out of three [women under 35] will have a baby after three cycles, and this will increase to between 70-90% after eight cycles."
But the likelihood of success decreases significantly with age.
"If we look at women who start treatments between the ages of 40 and 44, 11% will take a baby home in their first cycle and by the eighth cycle about 20-38% will have a baby," said Associate Prof Chambers.
She said women who commenced treatment after 45 have "very low success rates" using their own eggs.
"Whether IVF treatment should be commenced or continued should ultimately be a decision for the patient and her fertility clinician," said Associate Prof Chambers.

Chelsea squandered a 2-0 lead to lose 4-2 at Stamford Bridge, while Manchester City were beaten 2-0 at home by Championship side Middlesbrough.
"It's a disgrace for a big team to lose to a small team from a lower league," said Mourinho, 51.

"Me and the players must feel ashamed."
An incredible round of shocks began on Friday night when League Two Cambridge United held Manchester United to a goalless draw and continued on Saturday lunchtime as Swansea City exited at the hands of Championship Blackburn Rovers.
The two served as little warning as Premier League leaders Chelsea followed suit, while second-placed City and third-placed Southampton also saw hopes of a Wembley trip ended.

The Saints were beaten 3-2 at St Mary's by Crystal Palace while eight-time winners Tottenham missed out on a place in Monday's fifth-round draw as they conceded twice in the closing seven minutes to lose at home to Leicester City., and Liverpool drew with Bolton.
'A disgrace'
But no side spanned a gulf in class quite like Bradford City, who became the first team to ever put four goals past a Mourinho side in a home game despite being 49 places below Chelsea in England's football pyramid.
The former Real Madrid, Inter Milan and Porto boss entered the Bantams' dressing room after the game, congratulating players individually.
"I repeat a word I used before this match - It's a disgrace for a big team to lose to a small team from a lower team," said Mourinho, who won the FA Cup during his first spell at Chelsea in 2007.

"Frustration is not the right word, embarrassed would be more appropriate."
'Absolutely bouncing'
Bradford upset Premier League opponents en route to a League Cup final appearance in 2013 and became the first third-tier team to score four against the Blues in 57 years.
Manager Phil Parkinson told BBC Radio 5 live: "The lads are absolutely bouncing in that dressing room and what they've done today will be remembered for a very long time - not just in Bradford but all around the country.
"Playing the league leaders and one of the best teams in Europe and scoring four goals... That's going to take some beating."
'Worst squad we've ever seen'
A jubilant Bradford City co-chairman Mark Lawn told BBC Radio 5 live Parkinson inherited the "worst squad we have ever seen" when appointed in 2011 and that this fixture allowed the club to break even from a £1m overspend this season.
"We've just beaten a team that is as good as Barcelona," said Lawn. "It just goes to show Match of the Day should have us on telly all the time, because we score you goals."

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini refuted any suggestion his side's recent trip to Abu Dhabi to play an exhibition game had any impact on their exit.
City had 65% of possession and 24 shots at Etihad Stadium but fell behind to a goal from Chelsea loanee Patrick Bamford before Kike's second.
"We were nervous," said Pellegrini, whose team returned from the Gulf state late on Friday. "They are a team who work well, that's why they are second in the Championship. They had opportunities to score more goals and deserved to go through."
Boro boss Aitor Karanka told BBC Sport: "I can't find words to explain my feelings today. But I'm proud of the players, the crowd, the fans, the staff and the club. We could have won by more because we were very well organised and have quality up front."

Trees more resistant to fire have been planted as part of a redesign of Swinley Forest near Ascot, Berkshire.
More than 100,000 trees were destroyed in the 2011 blaze which lasted for about a week.
Five years after the event, the Forestry Commission say they have changed their practice guidance on wild fire resistance.
Williams sold over £50,000 worth of tickets in July when he stopped rival Gary Corcoran at the Wales Ice Arena.
His reward is another opportunity to box in front of his own fans, with Williams confirming he will headline a bill at Cardiff's Motorpoint Arena.
Williams, 24, trained by Welshman Gary Lockett, will feature alongside stablemates Alex Hughes and Jay Harris.
Promoter Frank Warren is yet to announce details of Williams' opponent, but it is expected to be a title defence for the Rhondda boxer with further details to come on Monday.
Super welterweight Williams will begin his preparation by travelling to Spain to spar with British world champion Kell Brook, who challenges Gennady Golovkin on 10 September at the O2 Arena.

Sir Martin Moore-Bick insisted he had "no power" to make arrests over the blaze, which killed at least 80 people.
Shouting broke out at points during the two-hour long gathering - Sir Martin's second encounter with former residents.
One woman said residents were unhappy that Sir Martin and his legal inquiry team did "not look like any of us".
She told those gathered in a west London church on Tuesday evening: "You do not have our confidence, you do not represent us," while another man said: "We need someone who's real".
Will a public inquiry deliver answers?
Amnesty for Grenfell fire residents
Profile: Sir Martin Moore-Bick
Sir Martin, who initially faced residents at a meeting three weeks ago, said the inquiry would consider the "whole course of events" leading up to the fire on 14 June, as well as the design and construction of the tower.
But when residents demanded arrests be made, Sir Martin responded: "An inquiry is designed to find out what happened. I have no power to do anything in relation to criminal responsibility."
The Metropolitan Police has said it will investigate "all criminal offences that may have been committed" in its separate inquiry into the fire.
The Rams relocated from St Louis at the end of last season, with a new 70,000-seat stadium set to be opened in 2019.
The Chargers will play at the 30,000 capacity StubHub centre until the new venue in Inglewood is opened.
They played their first year in the former American Football League in 1960, before moving to San Diego ahead of the 1961 AFL season.
Owner Dean Spanos had a proposal to move the franchise to Los Angeles alongside the Oakland Raiders rejected by his fellow team owners last season, but he was instead offered an option to become the Rams' tenants, with a deadline of 15 January, later extended to 17 January.
Spanos had been attempting to build a new venue to replace their former home, Qualcomm Stadium, for the past 15 years, but a proposed tax increase to fund construction was rejected by San Diego voters in November.
The Raiders are now in discussions to move their franchise to Las Vegas.
Californian Spanos, who took over the running of the team from his father in 1994, reassured supporters they would not forget their history in San Diego despite moving 120 miles up the coast.
"San Diego has been our home for 56 years. It will always be part of our identity, and my family and I have nothing but gratitude and appreciation for the support and passion our fans have shared with us," the 66-year-old said.
"LA is a remarkable place, and while we played our first season there in 1960 and have had fans there ever since, our entire organization knows that we have a tremendous amount of work to do."
The decision has angered some fans, with the team's headquarters in San Diego being egged when reports of Spanos' decision emerged on Wednesday.
The Chargers are currently without a head coach, having fired Mike McCoy on 2 January following a 5-11 season.
The 38-year-old's point-blank saves to deny Gareth Evans and Marc McNulty were the pick of the bunch.
He also made another double save from Kyle Bennett and McNulty to earn his first clean sheet since 21 November.
Luton, under the caretaker charge of Andy Awford since the dismissal of John Still, only had one effort on target.
Luton caretaker boss Andy Awford told BBC Three Counties Radio:

"I'm delighted with the spirit and character of the players. They deserved that point today and they deserved that clean sheet. I'm delighted for everybody.
"We've conceded too many goals of late, haven't we? That's no secret. We needed to shore things up. We've been trying to do that and still be an attacking threat. Today, I think we were.
"I don't know if I'll be in charge next game. I'll just report in tomorrow and get on with it until somebody tells me different. When the club's ready to appoint the manager, he'll come in.
"I haven't applied for the job and if the club want to talk to me about it, they know where I am."
Xherdan Shaqiri created both of Arnautovic's first-half goals in an inspired performance by the Swiss.
Arnautovic nudged home Shaqiri's cross for the opener and then finished off a perfectly weighted through ball from his team-mate.
Man City, with Sergio Aguero and Yaya Toure out injured, lacked ideas and have not won in four away league games.
Relive Stoke's 2-0 win over Man City
The few chances they did create were met by the impressive Jack Butland, as the Stoke keeper kept out efforts from Kevin de Bruyne and Aleksandar Kolarov with sharp saves.
The result sees Man City drop to third in the table, three points behind top side Leicester City.
Former Basel and Bayern Munich midfielder Shaqiri had not set the world alight for the Potters so far this term after arriving from Inter Milan in the summer.
But the man nicknamed the Alpine Messi - for his similarities to Lionel Messi in both stature and creative ability - tore Manchester City apart with ease.
He strode past three visiting players before providing the cross for the opener and regularly found Arnautovic with penetrating balls behind the defence, and the Austrian almost had his hat-trick but clipped a one-on-one against the post.
Stoke, who sit in mid-table, have built up a reputation for being a sturdy and uninspiring side, but the Potters' attacking four of Arnautovic, Shaqiri, Ibrahim Afellay and Bojan Krkic provided movement and verve to show that Mark Hughes' team are evolving and progressing.
Manuel Pellegrini bemoaned his side's injury situation after the game, particularly the absence of defender Vincent Kompany.
Belgian Kompany has not featured since early November because of a calf injury. His side have conceded just once with him on the pitch this term and let in 15 without him.
But the visitors were toothless going forward, with Aguero's stand-in Wilfried Bony barely seeing the ball and creators-in-chief De Bruyne and David Silva constantly closed down by Stoke pressure.
Pellegrini introduced Jesus Navas, Fabian Delph and Kelechi Iheanacho early in the second half in an attempt to rescue the game, but that only led to his side playing the final 15 minutes with 10 men as Fernandinho hobbled off with a hamstring problem.
Stoke manager Mark Hughes: "It was a great performance by the guys. Each and every one of them put in a high-level performance and as a consequence of that we were able to win against the team top of the pile.

"We played with an energetic three in midfield, we were on the front foot in midfield and we unsettled them. We always had a threat up front.
"We haven't played Bojan right up front before but I have been close to doing it in the past. We needed to retain possession in key areas and the three up top allowed us to do that."
Stoke midfielder Xherdan Shaqiri: "We tried this [partnership with Marko Arnautovic] all week in training so we of course are happy that we scored in the game like this.
"We have a very good team, we can win against every team in the Premier League."

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini: "We had a lack of reaction, too many games for the same players.
"We defended very badly but we also had not too many chances to score. We are playing with 13 players in all competitions. It was a defeat.
"I always miss important names, but you have to play with the players you have. We must continue with the same 11 or 12 players."
Stoke will need to prove that they can repeat this vibrant performance when they travel to West Ham on Saturday. Man City host Borussia Monchengladbach in their final Champions League group game on Tuesday, and still have an outside chance of topping the group.
South Wales Police officers had been pursuing a red Ford Focus around the Cardiff area at about 18:00 BST on Saturday. A stinger was also used.
Minutes later, the car collided with a Land Rover Freelander on the eastbound side between junctions 30 and 32.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission is probing the incident.
Police said the Land Rover's driver was cut free but did not suffer serious injuries.
The Ford's Gloucester-based driver died.
An IPCC spokesman said: "We were notified by South Wales Police and the IPCC deployed investigators to the scene, and to attend the police post incident procedures. "
Both sides of the carriageway were closed but have since reopened.
The 39-year-old was one of a number of people detained when police were called to an address in Paisley on Friday.
The man became ill at the property and was taken to hospital in Paisley where he died a short time later.
The Police Investigation and Review Commission (Pirc) has been instructed to look in to the circumstances surrounding the man's death.
The move is in line with standard procedure.
A Police Scotland spokeswoman said: "Around 08:25 on Friday 25 November, police attended at an address in Tannahill Road, Paisley, and a number of people were detained.
"Whilst police were present, a 39-year-old man took unwell within the address and was taken by ambulance to the Royal Alexandra Hospital for treatment where he died a short time later.
"As is normal protocol, the circumstances of the incident have been referred to the Police Investigations and Review Commissioner."
A Pirc spokesman said: "The Police Investigation and Review Commissioner has been instructed by the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS) to conduct an investigation into the circumstances leading up to the death in custody of a 39-year-old man.
"A report into the findings will be submitted to the COPFS in due course."
Bennett, 26, returned to the Pompey line-up against Accrington on Saturday having missed the last two games.
"You just get on with it, whatever goes on," he told BBC Radio Solent.
"If I'm here, I'm playing for Portsmouth Football Club. That's the end of the story, I'm here and I'm willing to fight for my place."
Bennett's return could not prevent Pompey falling to a 1-0 defeat at Accrington - their first loss in five league games.
"I've been working hard on the training ground," Bennett said. "The gaffer will tell you that I've stuck my head down and I've supported the lads when I've not been involved.
"Hopefully, I've done enough to keep my place having come back."
Cedric Soares faces a fitness test after limping off in midweek and Ryan Bertrand is also a doubt.
Stoke's Marko Arnautovic is doubtful because of an elbow problem sustained in last weekend's defeat by Arsenal.
Ibrahim Afellay is still recuperating from knee surgery last month, while Stephen Ireland remains out with a long-term leg injury.
Tony Husband: "The most boring team ever!" shouted one Southampton fan on Thursday when I asked his views on the season.
"It seems a harsh assessment for a side which has reached a cup final, narrowly missed out on the Europa League knockout stages, and currently lies eighth in the Premier League.
"But while the stats should give Claude Puel plenty of comfort at the end of his first season, he's still fighting for his job, with Southampton seemingly doing little to dampen the speculation.

"If Saints fans feel underwhelmed, then the same probably applies to Stoke, who are at the bottom end of a mass of mediocrity in 14th.
"But Mark Hughes does appear to have the backing to reshape the squad this summer.
"It's a job security of which Puel must be envious."
Southampton manager Claude Puel: "After a long season, our players have a good focus about this last game. We can finish strong."
Stoke City manager Mark Hughes: "It's fair to say that we haven't hit our targets this season, so it is disappointing. It isn't disastrous though, I don't feel.
"Everybody wants to be stimulated by progressive seasons, and of the four I have been here this is the first that we have fallen short."
Stoke's form has been heading in a downhill direction for a while now but the nature of the last day of the season always throws up some unexpected results, and I think this game will provide one of them.

Last June, police appealed for information about the whereabouts of Justin Clarke, 59, who they believed could help with their enquiries.
Mr Clarke was arrested in Berlin on Thursday.
The Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Major Crime Unit said he was arrested under a European Arrest Warrant and the extradition process had begun.
An 81-year-old woman from Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, was also arrested on Thursday on suspicion of assisting an offender. She has been released on bail.
Seven cameras in Birmingham and two in Solihull were to start working on Monday but this is has now been moved to August.
The city council said "terrible weather" had prevented contractors fitting and testing all the equipment.
Fixed cameras in the West Midlands were switched off in 2013 in a bid to save about £1m a year.
Stewart Stacey, cabinet member for transport and roads, said: "We now hope to be ready for 8 August, but in the meantime, I would remind motorists of the need to drive within the speed limits set by law to keep our roads safe for everyone."
Bailey Gwynne died after being stabbed in the heart at Cults Academy in October.
His 16-year-old killer, who cannot be named for legal reasons, denied murder and was found guilty of culpable homicide on Monday.
Kate Gwynne said: "Nothing will give us back what has been taken."
She said: "Bailey is not a story. Bailey is our child. He is our son, and our heart, our brother, our grandson, our nephew, cousin and our friend and beloved master of Teddy the Pug."
The statement - accompanied by two new pictures of Bailey - said: "Whatever the outcome was to be in this trial nothing will give us back what has been taken and the only thing that we truly want.
"That is something that we as a family must try to live with.
"Our priority through the time of this trial was to be there for Bailey. That remains our priority along with guiding our sons, his brothers, through this. That is inevitably a long road, but we will never lose sight of Bailey while walking it.
"We have appreciated greatly the support of all those around us and those close to us, whether it has been practical or emotional.
"We know that everyone around us has done their utmost for Bailey and we appreciate and greatly admire the fairness and integrity shown to all parties by the prosecuting counsel.
"We cannot praise highly enough the police, our lovely family liaison officers and the fiscal staff."
It continued: "Our sweet boy with a big dream working hard to make it happen. A boy who was never happier than when chilling out with his friends and his dog after a session in the gym.
"The boy who would carry his brothers to the top on a hill walk when their own legs failed them, who dutifully cut the grass for his dad or rescued his Nonna's shopping and the boy who would come with me on an evening run just to keep me company in the dark even though he could finish it in half the time.
"We will always be immensely proud that Bailey is our son. We now need time and space to come to terms with what has happened and to continue to care for our family and those dear to Bailey.
"Lastly, it has always been a true blessing and a privilege to have Bailey and to share the honour of knowing, raising and loving him. That is not something that time or our parting will ever change.
"Bailey-Bazza, my true gent. With love we hold you in our hearts. Walk tall Bailey-Boy."
The jury at the High Court in Aberdeen took an hour and 40 minutes to find his killer guilty of the lesser charge.
Sentence was deferred until 1 April.
Judge Lady Stacey told the accused he would be sentenced at the High Court in Edinburgh and would be given a custodial sentence.
The youth was also found guilty of two further charges of having a knife and knuckleduster in school.
Following the verdict, it was announced that an independent investigation is to be held into the circumstances that led to Bailey's death.
Cassells and Sam Scrimgeour took silver for Great Britain in the lightweight men's pair while Shorten was second as part of the women's eight boat.
Irish pair Mark O'Donovan and Shane O'Driscoll won the lightweight pair and Paul and Gary O'Donovan won silver in the lightweight men's double sculls.
Peter Chambers and Holly Nixon both missed the World Cup regatta.
Chambers was ill while sickness also affected the GB women's quadruple sculls team, ruling Nixon out of action.
Cassells and Shorten's boats had to be content with fourth-place finishes at the recent European Championships.
The Wales international spearheaded a well-drilled West Brom outfit, but they conceded possession all too easily in the first half and fell behind to Shane Long's powerful header.
They levelled within two minutes when Robson-Kanu turned Chris Brunt's first-time pass into the path of Matt Phillips, who finished neatly.
The Baggies were perhaps fortunate not to have Allan Nyom sent off before half-time, and they took full advantage when Robson-Kanu slammed left-footed into the top corner from 20 yards.
Relive Kanu's stunner and West Brom's win
All the reaction from Saturday's Premier League games
Robson-Kanu was the only change to the side beaten at Arsenal, and boss Tony Pulis was rewarded with a show of determination and organisation as Saints had few clear-cut chances.
The hosts, who made six changes following a 4-1 loss to Spurs, were blunt and ultimately exposed by their efficient visitors, their day made worse when Virgil van Dijk was shown a second yellow for pulling back Salomon Rondon on 88 minutes.
Home fans headed for the exit in their droves as Van Dijk was dismissed. Their side are ninth, a place behind West Brom.
Robson-Kanu - introduced 13 times from the bench this season - last started a Premier League match while playing for Reading.
And his performance, having replaced top scorer Rondon in the starting XI, was symptomatic of how right Pulis got things at St Mary's.
The fact goalkeeper Ben Foster's 37 passes were more than any of his team-mates highlights just how bad the Baggies were in possession, but they outmanoeuvred their hosts, limiting them to harmless crosses.
Jonny Evans fielded aerial challenges admirably, while Phillips deserves praise for his calm leveller and a neat reverse pass which sent Robson-Kanu free for the game's standout moment of quality.
The match-winning strike was as powerful as it was accurate, beating Fraser Forster at his near post to give Robson-Kanu his first goal since a sublime effort against Belgium at Euro 2016.
Pulis admitted his side were "shocking" in the opening period, citing a cancelled flight on Friday and enforced bus travel as a potential reason for the slow start.
But he too deserves credit. He refused to make widespread changes in the wake of back-to-back defeats and, at the halfway stage of the season, his side are three points and five places better off than at this stage of 2015-16.
Saints boss Claude Puel said changing more than half his side was a result of fixture congestion and not a knee-jerk move after the defeat by Tottenham.
The French boss has now made four or more changes in each of their last five league games. His latest selection saw Southampton unable to pick a final pass of meaning in 94 minutes.
There were glimmers of flair from Sofiane Boufal but, the goals aside, West Brom could claim the game's best chance when James Morrison's header was saved with the Baggies 2-1 up.
Southampton may feel Nyom should have been dismissed for clattering Long nine minutes after being booked.
But the fact they have only won two league games in a row once this season shows their inconsistency.
At the halfway stage of the season they are three places better off than at the same stage in 2015-16 but have scored seven goals fewer. It is not hard to see why.
Southampton manager Claude Puel: "We started well, with possession and quality, and then the first chance for the opponent they score. It's a difficult moment for the squad. We have to concentrate more in defence."
West Brom manager Tony Pulis: "In the first half we were shocking really, way off the pace of the game. But in the second half we got going and we played with a lot more purpose.
"Robson-Kanu has been very good. We felt it was the right time to give Salomon Rondon a rest, he was a little bit down in training this week. Now I have a problem Monday... who do I pick?"
West Brom host second-bottom Hull City on Monday in a 15:00 GMT kick-off, while Southampton will face former manager Ronald Koeman when they travel to Everton at the same time.

The drab homes and dimly lit streets that hugged the steep hillside were rife with drug addiction, theft and domestic violence.
Now proudly bathed in kaleidoscopic colours, the area stands as an example of how to transform marginalised neighbourhoods across Latin America.
Government-funded muralists have turned the hillside into a giant work of art, while helping locals to find employment opportunities and develop a sense of community.
"The neighbourhood changed completely. The colours gave it life," says Doña Chela, a local pastry chef.
"There used to be a lot of robberies and people drinking on the streets all the time. That happens much less now."
Located 88km (55 miles) north east of Mexico City in Hidalgo state, Pachuca is best known as a former hub for Cornish miners who introduced football and pasties to Mexico in the 19th Century.
The city has been spared the worst of the cartel violence that has plagued Mexico in the last decade but petty crime has been a consistent problem, particularly in hillside slums like Palmitas.

This has begun to change since a team of graffiti artists known as the Germen Crew painted 200 houses here in 2015.
Viewed from afar, the homes fit together to form swirling patterns inspired by Pachuca's nickname, "La Bella Airosa" (The Windy Beauty).
Closer inspection reveals finer details among the labyrinth of stairways and alleyways, including several iconic portraits of local residents.
The muralists are now painting another 300 homes in the adjacent Cubitos neighbourhood.
Known as the Macro Mural, the project is due for completion in November.
Organisers say it will cover 40,000 square metres, making it the world's largest mural of its kind.
The project is led by Enrique Gómez, a 36-year-old former gang member from an impoverished area in nearby Mexico state.
"I've had an intense life. I left home at age 16 and got involved in gangs and loads of illegal stuff," Mr Gómez says.
"Fortunately through graffiti I found a pathway out of all that. There was more money in graffiti and less risk of being arrested or killed."
Mr Gómez says his background has helped him win the trust of local youths.
By persuading members of feuding clans to paint together he aims to reduce tensions and engender a sense of brotherhood and community spirit.
Aside from brightening the area with his brushstrokes, Mr Gómez has given talks, held art workshops and employed locals to help out.
He also hopes to open a community centre where children can engage in healthy activities and learn to use computers.
"Before, people didn't like to admit they were from here. Now they boast of it," Mr Gómez says with a smile.
"We've shown them they can find work and move forward in life, no matter where they're from."
The Mexican government has invested almost 10 million pesos ($565,000; £435,000) in the project, including funding for new street lights, counselling for local families, and cookery, hairdressing and jewellery-making workshops.
Critics have accused the government of trying to "paint over poverty", but Juan Pontigo, the head of Hidalgo's public security council, insists that Mexico must back more initiatives like this to provide vulnerable youths with alternatives to a life of crime.
"If you ask children today if they'd like to be police officers, many say no, they want to be narcos," Mr Pontigo says.
"We have a culture of being reactive to crime and focusing on its effects. We must also do all we can to address the causes through prevention."
The project's potential has not gone unnoticed.
The Germen Crew were recently hired to produce another Macro Mural in the northern city of Monterrey, while their work has also inspired a similar programme in Puerto Rico.
"We've had visitors from other states and countries who are interested in replicating this model," says Pachuca mayor Yolanda Tellería.
"It's a success story for transforming favelas and neighbourhoods with high levels of crime and social problems."
The murals have also boosted Pachuca's international profile. A music video that British pop stars Sigala and Ella Eyre filmed in Palmitas has over 13 million views since its release in June.
Mayor Tellería hopes the exposure will draw foreign tourists. Her government intends to run guided tours of the murals, creating opportunities for locals to sell snacks and souvenirs to visitors.
"We want people to visit this place," Ms Tellería says.
"We need to bring tourism and generate revenue within these neighbourhoods for the benefit of our youth."
It's after Newsround raised a complaint, in November 2014, with the Advertising Standards Authority, which makes the rules for adverts in the UK.
Here's what happened...
In June 2014 a group of UK vloggers were paid to say good things about a brand of Oreo biscuits.
But none of the videos were clearly labelled as adverts.
Newsround raised the issue with the Advertising Standards Authority, who monitor advertising in the UK.
They said Newsround had to make a complaint for it to investigate further.
The ASA ruled that the adverts were not clearly marked, and needed to change.
They said it was against their rules and vloggers should make it clear whether or not their vloggs are adverts.
Mondelez, the biscuit company that paid the vloggers, said it was "disappointed" but would "ensure the adverts do not appear in their current form again".
YouTube told Newsround that vloggers themselves are responsible for making videos that stick to their local laws and regulations.
The vloggers affected by the ASA ruling have now changed the descriptions of their videos to make it clear they are paid advertisements, but the ASA said it would be looking at online videos much more closely in future.
The ASA have spent the last few months looking at advertising in vloggs.
Now they've come up with a new set of guidelines, to make it clearer.
Guy Parker, from the Advertising Standards Authority said, "It's important that Newsround made that complaint.
"It's just not fair if we are watching a video by a vlogger and we don't know that a brand has paid for the content of that video."
If a vlogger has been told to say something by a company or a big brand, they must make that clear and the video needs to be labelled as an advert.
If vloggers have been paid by the company to promote an item, they have to state that somewhere.
For example, they need to put something like the word "ad" or "promo" in the title of their video - or use a symbol in the thumbnail telling viewers what they're about to click on is an advert.
The ASA hope the code will make it easier for vloggers to know what they can and can't do online.
This means that from now on, you should be able to tell the difference between an ordinary vlog and an advert.
We spoke to one vlogger Chyaz, who wasn't involved in last year's investigation, about what she thinks of the new rules.
Chyaz Samuel said: "I think the clearer the better when it comes to the rules. No vlogger wants to deceive the audience."
Strict new rules on term-time holidays - including fines - were introduced two years ago to crack down on absence.
But the LGA says the system is unworkable and is calling for change.
The call follows a case last week in which a father avoided prosecution for refusing to pay a fine for taking his child out of school for a holiday.
Guidelines brought in by the Department for Education (DfE) in September 2013 require head teachers to take a harder line on requests for absence.
Previously, heads were able to grant 10 days' leave in "exceptional circumstances", meaning that many schools could allow up to two weeks of term-time holidays a year, but the stricter rules mean a holiday cannot be classed as an exceptional circumstance.
If an absence is not authorised, parents who take their children out of school during term time are reported to their local authorities who are obliged by government to fine a parent £60 per child - this rises to £120 if it is not paid within 21 days.
In extreme circumstances, those that fail to pay can face prosecution with a maximum fine of £2,500 or a jail sentence of up to three months.
The LGA says head teachers should be allowed to give reasonable consideration to term-time leave requests and is calling on the Department for Education (DfE) for a change in the rules.
The future of holiday fines was called into question last week, when a father won a court battle after refusing to pay a £120 fine for taking his six-year-old daughter out of school to go to Disney World, Florida.
The case against Jon Platt, 44, was thrown out at the Isle of Wight Magistrates' Court after he argued the law required parents to ensure their children attended school "regularly", and did not put restrictions on taking them on holidays in term time.
The LGA says families often struggle with the high cost of holidays out of term time.
It says a family of four heading to the Canary Islands this half term would pay about £2,000 more than if taking the same holiday the week before or week after half term, rising from £2,484 before half term, to £4,800 during and dropping to £2,523 after.
Roy Perry, chairman of the LGA's Children and Young People Board, said: "It is clear that the current system does not always favour families, especially those that are struggling to meet the demands of modern life or have unconventional work commitments.
"There has to be a sensible solution whereby every family has the option to spend time together when they choose to, without fear of prosecution from education authorities.
"The current rules tie families to set holiday periods. They make no allowances for what a family would class as a special occasion or takes into account a parent's work life."
Mr Perry said blanket bans were not working and fines were being successfully challenged in the courts under human rights laws.
"It is time for this situation to be reassessed to ensure we are not wasting time and money by enforcing what is considered by many to be a punitive and unfair system," he said.
"While councils fully support the DfE's stance on every child being in school every day, there are occasions when parental requests should be given individual consideration and a common sense approach applied."
But a spokesman for the DfE said: "It is a myth that missing school even for a short time is harmless to a child's education.
"Our evidence shows missing the equivalent of just one week a year from school can mean a child is significantly less likely to achieve good GCSE grades, having a lasting effect on their life chances."
Brian Lightman, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, said: "There will be times when children have to miss school because of problems such as illness and family emergencies.
"Schools are very sympathetic in these cases and will help children catch up with work. However, term time holidays are not a valid reason to miss school."
A Freedom of Information request to councils by the Press Association found - across the 98 councils that responded - 86,010 fines had been issued in 2014-15 for pupil absence, either because of holiday or truancy.
This is up from 62,204 the year before and 32,512 in 2012-13.
Audit Scotland has reviewed how the Scottish government and its agencies handle ICT, and found it suffers from a lack of civil service expertise.
The report updates progress since 2012.
It covers Registers of Scotland, the Crown Office, the Procurator Fiscal service and Disclosure Scotland.
It found that the Scottish government introduced an assurance framework two years ago, but it was not clear enough, and the Scottish government "did not oversee its implementation effectively".
There are now revised arrangements and the watchdog believes these need careful management and strong leadership. It was only last August that the Scottish government sought to find out the scale of its ICT skills gap.
In 2013, the 21 largest Scottish government bodies spent £739m on suppliers of ICT-related goods and services. The spend had increased 15% since 2011, as government extended online access to services, partly to improve efficiency.
Caroline Gardner, Auditor General for Scotland, said: "When managed effectively, ICT programmes have the power to transform public services, and make a real and positive difference to people's lives.
"However, the difficulties in managing ICT programmes in both the public and private sector are well documented, and remain a complex challenge for the Scottish government and central government bodies. While steps have been taken to improve, and overcome obstacles such as the shortage of ICT skills in the public sector, today's report shows that significant progress is still needed.
"Our recommendations reflect the continuing work by the Scottish government and central government bodies and are intended to help them achieve the full benefits of effective ICT, particularly in this time of reducing budgets and increasing demand for public services."
A Scottish government spokesman, responding to the report, said: "We welcome that Audit Scotland's report recognises a substantial proportion of their recommendations have already been implemented and that further work is under way.
"We will continue to drive forward reform in the delivery of public services in Scotland, building on our solid reputation for effectiveness and efficiency.
"The Scottish government is committed to continuing joint working across central government to further improve ICT programme delivery, which is helping us deliver tangible improvements in public services."
Rhydymwyn Valley History Society has been working for years to get safe access to the tunnels near Mold that stored mustard gas in the 1940s.
The UK Government, as the site owner, carried out work to allow the tunnels to open over the weekend.
Rhydymwyn Valley Works was used for the early development into the atomic bomb.
Society chairman Colin Barber said the tunnels had been a "mystery" to local people for many years.
But on Saturday a public tour is taking place along a newly laid pathway with visitors asked to wear hard hats and high-visibility jackets.
The guided tour - one of five due to be held this year - will follow a formal opening ceremony by Ken Skates, the Cabinet Secretary for Economy and Infrastructure.
"It has been a long time coming," said Mr Barber.
"There are people who have lived here all of their lives who have never been inside."
During the height of the war, the tunnels, near Mold, housed 48 storage tanks, each containing up to 65 tonnes of mustard gas.
In the intervening years they remained closed, leading to rumours about what might have been left behind.
That was until an independent expert was given access and confirmed they were empty in 2006.
Since then the heritage group, which helps to manage the site and its archives, has been trying to create access to the tunnels following safety assessments.
Munitions workers like Caroline Bellis, aged 100, worked at the site in a myriad of buildings that still pepper the complex.
In an interview in 2008, Ms Bellis, who is due to visit the site again for the opening ceremony, explained how she helped carry shells into the tunnels for storage.
Other work at the site included evaluating early atomic bomb research, codenamed Operation Tube Alloys.
Many of the scientists involved worked on the Manhattan Project, which developed the first atomic bomb.
Thermometers hit -19C in Pershore in the early hours, which was one of the lowest temperatures in the UK, BBC forecasters said.
There were still delays for motorists on the northbound section of the M5 between Birmingham and Worcester, as well as on sections of the M42.
Temperatures in the region were set to range between -1C and -15C on Sunday.
The Met Office has renewed its warning of severe weather across the West Midlands region.
It said there was a continued risk of widespread ice on untreated roads and pavements during Sunday and Monday.
West Midlands Ambulance Service urged people not to travel on "treacherously icy roads" unless necessary.
A spokeswoman said roads in the region were "littered with abandoned vehicles following the significant snowfall".
Parts of the M5 were severely affected by conditions on Saturday, with some drivers stuck in queues for more than three hours.
The ambulance service also urged people to consider vulnerable neighbours as the sub-zero temperatures continued.
"We would appeal for people to be aware of those who are elderly, frail or in some way vulnerable to this type of weather condition whether they are friends, neighbours or relatives," the spokeswoman said.
"Why not show some community spirit and ensure that people in these categories do not have to go out and risk hurting themselves by getting in any essential supplies that they might need."
The service, which saw its busiest day on Friday since regional records began, also urged people to use the service wisely so it could best serve patients with serious and life-threatening injuries.
Some flights at Birmingham Airport have been cancelled or delayed because of snowy conditions.
Travellers were urged to check the airport's website and with their flight operators for details.
Kyrgios beat the 12th seed 6-4 7-6 (7-4) to set up a semi-final against Japan's Kei Nishikori.
The result means Kyrgios, who turns 21 on 27 April, will become the youngest man in the top 20 for seven years.
In the women's draw, Russian Svetlana Kuznetsova and Belarusian Victoria Azarenka won their semi-finals.
Raonic had not dropped serve all week in Miami, but Kyrgios broke the Canadian in the first game - the only break of the contest.
"That definitely set the tone," said Kyrgios. "I've really learned how to return this year and I'm moving really well, so I'm giving myself more opportunities."
Kyrgios fended off five break points and restricted Raonic to four aces over the course of one hour and 44 minutes.
Having won his first ATP title in Marseille last month, the Australian has now broken new ground at the elite Masters level.
"I'm feel as if I'm a lot stronger, a lot fitter and I've just got more experience," he said. "The last couple of years on tour have been a bit of a rollercoaster, but I've learned a lot."
Asked about the new ranking, he said: "It's pretty cool, but there are 19 guys in front of me."
Nishikori saved five match points to win a dramatic quarter-final against Frenchman Gael Monfils 4-6 6-3 7-6 (7-3).
Former US and French Open champion Kuznetsova reached the Miami Open final for the first time since she won in 2006 with a 7-5 6-3 victory over Swiss Timea Bacsinszky.
The 30-year-old, ranked 19th, beat Serena Williams in the fourth round and will return to the top 10 for the first time in six years if she takes the title.
"I don't think if I get to top 10 or not," she said.
"When I go and I see the rankings I am confident I can beat these players and players from the top 10."
The in-form Azarenka avenged her only defeat of the season against Angelique Kerber at the Australian Open as she beat the German 6-2 7-5.
Azarenka, 26, is now one win away from emulating Steffi Graf and Kim Clijsters by winning back-to-back Indian Wells and Miami titles.
"I have a job to do on Saturday, regardless if it's going to make history," said Azarenka. "I'm ready, I'm prepared and I'm going out there hungry." | St Mirren are searching for a new manager now that relegation to the Championship has been confirmed.

Jonathan Lawrence, 30, of West Mews, Stamford and David Jenkins, 29, of Jesmond Gardens, Newcastle, deny the unauthorised sale of nitrous oxide with their firm, Toon Whip.
They were arrested after the BBC investigated the Newcastle-based firm.
The pair appeared before Newcastle Magistrates' Court.
They are due to return to the same court on 5 January.
Mr Lawrence and Mr Jenkins were charged under the General Product Safety Regulations 2005, on the grounds they sold allegedly unsafe products.
Toon Whip is part of Out the Kitchen Limited, based on Starbeck Avenue, a catering business run by the two directors. The company has denied the same charge.
Altai was raised and trained by falconer Franz Schuttelkopf in Austria, specifically for the role of Abel in the 2015 film Brothers of the Wind.
Having retired from the film industry, he has now moved to Falconry Experience Wales based near Machynlleth.
The centre hopes his presence will raise awareness of eagle conservation.
Two-year-old Altai features throughout the film from an eaglet to an adult and was filmed on location in the Austrian Alps.
The adventure drama tells the story of a young boy called Lukas who tries to save the life of a baby eagle thrown out of its nest.
It is narrated by and stars French actor Reno, whose credits include The Da Vinci Code and Leon, and has been screened in cinemas across Europe.
Barry Macdonald, who co-owns Falconry Experience Wales with Luce Green, said: "We are delighted that Altai has come to join us here in the Dyfi Valley.
"We hope Altai will become an ambassador for golden eagle and raptor conservation awareness, highlighting the threats facing raptors worldwide."
Ms Green said the centre, which also helps rescue and rehabilitate injured birds of prey for release back into the wild, said staff hoped to give visitors the chance to meet Altai in the coming months.
Dr Hugo van Woerden said he recognised that responsible drinking was "a normal part of a healthy society".
But he has raised concerns about levels of alcohol abuse and children's exposure to it.
He said in the health board's area 9.4% of men and 7.2% of women were classed as problem drinkers.
His report mentions "children as young as three can recognise the smell associated with alcoholic drinks".
Dr van Woerden also said there had been a rise in alcohol intake by women aged 16-24.
His full report will be presented to the health board next month.
Ahead of the meeting, he said: "We still have a major problem across NHS Highland in that 40% of the population regularly drink more than the recommended limit."
He added: "Over the five-year period 2009 to 2013, there were on average 80 deaths per year from alcohol-related conditions amongst the population of NHS Highland."
Alcohol abuse has been a long running concern for bosses at NHS Highland, which covers the Highlands and parts of Argyll.
A previous director of public health who moved from England to take up the post told of her shock at the scale of the region's alcohol problems.
At the time in 2011, the health board estimated that it was costing it £15m a year to treat illness caused by drink, smoking and obesity.
Ruth Madoff told the CBS programme 60 Minutes the couple took a "bunch of pills" on Christmas Eve in 2008.
"I don't know whose idea it was, but we decided to kill ourselves because it was so horrendous what was happening," she said.
Madoff is serving a 150-year jail sentence after being convicted in 2009.
Ruth Madoff told CBS that the couple had made the suicide pact on Christmas Eve, which - she continued - added to "the whole depression".
"I took what we had, he took more," she said, adding that she did not drink any alcohol with them for fear of vomiting.
Among the pills were Ambien (a sedative) and possibly Klonopin (for seizure and panic disorder treatment).
"We took pills and woke up the next day... It was very impulsive and I am glad we woke up", Mrs Madoff said.
The interview in full will be broadcast on CBS on 30 October.
CBS said it would contain many previously undisclosed revelations about the family in the aftermath of the scandal.
Madoff's ponzi scheme, which had been running since the early 1990s, deprived thousands of investors of their savings.

The village's display has been organised by community group Ullapool Fire and Light Fund and will feature a Christmas tree created from creels.
The creel tree stands about 16ft tall and has been constructed almost entirely of creels normally used for catching prawns or crabs.
Thursday's switch-on included lights appearing on yachts, dinghies and fishing boats in Ullapool harbour. The display has been funded by a grant and donations.

Until now the pair had remained silent about reports Steve had apparently asked not to be left alone with Ola.
Steve said: "We have pretty much the same work ethic and attack everything with the same sort of vigour."
He added: "She is fierce, but in a way that we both want to achieve" and insisted "it's been going great".
Jordan's husband and former dancer on the show, James Jordan, tweeted his support for his wife and accused the BBC of trying to turn the public against her.
Ola said James can do whatever he wants and is "very vocal".
This all came about because of a story in a newspaper claiming someone close to the show had said: "Steve is a very bouncy personality, up for any challenge, but Ola's harsh treatment has flattened him and made him lose confidence.
"She was very rude and impatient when he found it difficult to master the shapes for last Saturday's Charleston" and "Steve resorted to asking other people to show him what he had to do".
The pair will take to the floor in Blackpool in one of the big shows of the series at the town's famous Tower Ballroom.

The research compared two identical surveys, 20 years apart, that measured the health of people aged 65 or older in Cambridge, Newcastle and Nottingham.
The data, collected in 1991 and 2011, involved more than 15,000 responses.
Experts say the findings are encouraging, but warned they suggest health inequalities remain in the UK.
New health threats - such as obesity - may have an impact on wellbeing in the future, which needs investigating, say the researchers.
The work, part-funded by the Medical Research Council and published in The Lancet, looked at three measures of good health:
In 2011, men spent nearly four more years and women about three more years in "self-reported" good health compared with the respondents in the 1991 survey.
The chance of having dementia also appeared to be reduced in the 2011 group - men and women enjoyed about four more years free of any cognitive impairment compared with those surveyed in 1991.
Life without disability gains between 1991 and 2011 were smaller - 2.6 years for men and half a year for women, on average - and there was a mixed picture. While severe disability became less common between 1991 and 2011, milder disability increased.
The researchers say the milder disability figures might be explained by rising rates of obesity and arthritis.
But, overall, they say their findings are positive.
Lead researcher Prof Carol Jagger, from Newcastle University, said: "Brain health has improved over the 20-year period. We're not entirely sure why."
Although, as individuals, people may be living more years without cognitive impairment, Prof Jagger said, it was important to remember the number of cases of dementia in the UK was still rising because of an ageing population - there were more elderly people living in the country, meaning more "at risk".
"Our findings have important implications for government, employees and individuals with respect to raising the state pension age and extending working life," she said.
"It is also necessary for community care services and family carers who predominantly support those with mild to moderate disability to enable them to continue living independently."
Caroline Abrahams, charity director at Age UK, said: "Real improvements in older peoples' health are a real cause for celebration and demonstrate the continuing importance of supporting people to age well, especially through the provision of good quality health and social care services.
"However, we know that health inequalities are still deeply entrenched across the UK and with a growing older population, particularly of those aged over the age of 85, there is still much more work to do to help every older person have a healthier and happier later life."
Trailing 1-0 from the home leg, captain David Gray's deft finish levelled the tie after 62 minutes.
The full-back was forced off injured but Hibs survived into extra-time.
John McGinn missed Hibs' first penalty in the shootout, and despite Paul Hanlon, Grant Holt and Martin Boyle converting theirs, Brondby took it 5-3.
It was a harsh way for Neil Lennon's side to exit - at the first hurdle - after taking the game to their hosts in the second half and defending bravely throughout.
The Edinburgh club had never won a European tie in 61 years after losing the home leg, but they came close to making history after deservedly prevailing in normal time.

The prize of a tie against Bundesliga side Hertha Berlin however goes to Brondby, who kept their nerve in the shoot-out.
Needing to score to keep the tie alive, Hibs barely created a chance in the first half. McGinn had their one sight of goal in the 18th minute, but Martin Albrechtsen swiftly blocked the Scotland midfielder's effort.
But the visitors were not unduly troubled at the other end either as a defence re-enforced with a third centre-back in Liam Fontaine repelled most of Brondby's attacks.
The hosts' best moments came from set-pieces.
Christian Norgaard and Kamil Wilczek - whose strike after just 16 seconds proved the winner at Easter Road - headed over from corners, while Johan Larsson's curling free-kick was just too high.
But it was 36 minutes before Hibs' debutant keeper Ross Laidlaw - taking over from Otso Virtanen after the Finn's first-leg howler - was called into action.
The 24-year-old conceded five goals on his last outing in April 2015 - for Elgin City against Annan Athletic.
But after missing the whole of last season with a lacerated kidney and being released by Raith Rovers, he showed no signs of rustiness as he tipped a powerful drive from Norgaard over.
Hibs began the second half with greater intent and urgency, McGinn's inviting cross from the left flank headed over by Gray, whose last-minute winner in the Scottish Cup final had sent Hibs into Europe.
But the full-back showed great poise to control and flick home Darren McGregor's prodded ball forward with the outside of his right foot, after Brondby failed to clear Dylan McGeouch's corner.
It was reward for a sustained spell of pressure, but served to stir the hosts into life.
Lebogang Phiri and Svenn Crone both sent shots wide of the target, while Teemu Pukki - a player signed by Lennon at Celtic - found himself in space inside the box but his tame effort was blocked.
Gray's energy and commitment was encapsulated in the driving run out of defence that ended his evening, Norgaard sending the full-back sprawling and landing awkwardly on his shoulder.
Hibs survived some late scares - McGregor escaping with a yellow card when he impeded Pukki's run on goal, while the impressive Laidlaw got a hand to Larsson's effort to divert it wide.
But after neither side threatened to win it in extra-time, Hibs' luck finally ran out.

In a rare start, striker Saido Berahino put the Premier League side ahead with a brilliant long-range finish.
Shaquile Coulthirst levelled for what was the first of three late goals in a space of an incredible seven minutes.
Berahino put the Baggies ahead once again from an acute angle before Jon Taylor earned the underdogs a draw with a hooked finish 60 seconds later.
Terrible defending led to Taylor's equaliser and a below-par West Brom were booed off for failing to overcome a side two divisions below them at home.
Baggies manager Tony Pulis opted to start with the unsettled Berahino, who has again been linked with a move in the January transfer window.
In the build up to the match, the Welshman said Berahino - who threatened to strike earlier this season after the club rejected transfer bids - had "wasted three or four months" of his career.
The England-21 international has failed to make an impact this season, scoring just three league goals, with 10 of his 18 appearances coming as a substitute.
But while the 22-year-old's all-round performance against Peterborough could have been better, his two superb goals illustrated why he has reportedly attracted the interest of a number of Premier League clubs.
He collected Rickie Lambert's past in the first half to finish with ease inside the D, while his second-half strike was an instinctive finish.
Berahino celebrated his second by cupping his ears to the home fans and, with transfer deadline day on Monday, it remains to be seen whether that was his last appearance for the club.
"He's a good player and he can score," said Albion boss Tony Pulis. "The problem we've got is his fitness is not what it should be - but put him in front of goal and he'll score.
"Will those be his last goals for the club? We'll see. That's the chairman's decision."
West Brom's recent form will be a worry for their fans. They failed to register a shot on target in a 0-0 draw against Aston Villa last week, and should have dominated against Peterborough.
The hosts, fielding a strong line-up, were comfortable in the first half, but their lack of intensity after the break gave the League One promotion hopefuls another bite at the ABAX Stadium next month.
James McClean had two chances in the first half to double his team's lead, but of the Baggies' 13 shots on goal only four were on target.
Craig Gardner shot high over the crossbar when he should have done better after the break, and from there on Posh began to make inroads.
West Brom manager Tony Pulis: "It's going to be four games in the first two rounds of the FA Cup - it's a lot of games for us, but at least we're still in the draw.
"It was our demise, when you're leading twice to concede the goals we did was pretty poor."
Peterborough manager Graham Westley: "The lads showed some great composure and some great maturity. I watched them grow this afternoon and I am very pleased.
"I think over the 90 minutes, the young players will have gained a lot of experience and they showed that important ingredient, desire.
"The replay will be tough because they are well managed and are a good side. We will give it our everything, it is the FA Cup."
West Brom - seven points above the relegation zone - will host Swansea in the Premier League on Tuesday and defeat against the Welsh team could drag the Baggies into a relegation scrap. Meanwhile, Peterborough, three points adrift of the play-offs, must refocus on their league visit to Chesterfield on 6 February.

United manager Jose Mourinho was involved in touchline clashes with opposite number Antonio Conte and was verbally abused by Chelsea fans at the scene of many of his triumphs, including three titles.
The Portuguese was furious when midfielder Ander Herrera was sent off 10 minutes before half-time after a second foul on Eden Hazard, and the managers were kept apart moments later after Marcos Alonso tumbled to the floor after being brought down.
Kante's low 51st-minute drive finally beat defiant United keeper David de Gea, who saved superbly from Hazard and Gary Cahill before the break to keep Mourinho's side in contention before Chelsea made the breakthrough.
Marcus Rashford, who came off his sick bed to play - with Zlatan Ibrahimovic suspended, and Wayne Rooney and Anthony Martial injured, created United's best chance for himself but Chelsea keeper Thibaut Courtois saved with his feet to set up a semi-final against Tottenham at Wembley.
Mourinho's first return to Stamford Bridge after he was sacked as Chelsea manager ended in humiliation with a 4-0 defeat in October - and every piece of his body language here spoke of a man intent on putting matters right.
He was pacing his technical area from the first whistle, applauding, imploring and cajoling his team, stripped of talisman Ibrahimovic as well as Rooney and Martial.
With Mourinho in fired-up and combative mood, it was almost inevitable he would clash with his equally passionate and animated Stamford Bridge successor.
The flashpoint came seconds after Herrera's sending-off. Mourinho, still simmering, felt Alonso had dived, the Portuguese exploding in fury - soon to be joined by Conte in a head-to-head bout of bad blood that ended with the pair being separated and, in boxing parlance, being sent to their corners by fourth official Mike Jones.

It was a feud that bubbled throughout, with Conte reacting angrily in the second half when Mourinho kicked the ball along the touchline too close to the Chelsea manager for his liking.
The players seemed to take a cue from their managers through a series of tetchy clashes, one of which could lead to further action against United defender Marcos Rojo for an apparent stamp on Hazard.
Mourinho certainly did not feel the love on his return to the place where he enjoyed so much success, responding to four-letter abuse from Chelsea's fans behind his technical area by raising three fingers to signify the Premier League titles he won at Stamford Bridge.
The Portuguese was also taunted with chants of "Judas" - even though he was sacked by Chelsea a year last December.
He will feel a sense of injustice at Herrera's red card and frustration at Ibrahimovic's suspension - but the unpalatable truth for Mourinho is the team he left behind is currently far superior to the one he now guides.
In the absence of Ibrahimovic, this was a night when United needed £89m world-record buy Paul Pogba to step forward and prove his worth. Instead he did a disappearing act.
The contrast between the influence of Pogba, on the periphery of the action and conceding possession with alarming regularity, and Chelsea's own summer purchase Kante was stark.
Kante was perpetual motion, starting attacks, breaking up moves and crowning another magnificent performance with the winning goal, emphatically drilled past De Gea.
Pogba simply could not get into the game, either before Chelsea took the lead or afterwards when Mourinho looked to his showpiece summer capture, the signing he set his heart on, to revive United's hopes.
Chelsea's fans revelled in Pogba's struggles as they chanted "what a waste of money" - no such charges will be levelled at Kante, who looks a £30m bargain.
Chelsea remained on course for that domestic Double, a feat they achieved under Conte's countryman Carlo Ancelotti in 2010.
And this was a victory for quality, persistence and character, albeit aided by Herrera's silly foul on Hazard that drew the second yellow card from referee Michael Oliver and left Chelsea with the numerical advantage.
Chelsea already look like Premier League champions-elect, standing 10 points clear, and their confidence gives them an air of invincibility.
Conte's side are at Wembley in the FA Cup semi-final - and it will take a special performance from any opponent to stop the bandwagon.

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte: "It was a good performance against a strong team with good players. United has the best squad in the league. We must be pleased to go into the next round."
Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho: "I don't speak [about the red card]. I just want to say that I'm really proud of my players and Manchester United fans.
"Everybody can analyse from different perspectives but we all watch the match until the red card and after the red card. So we can compare the decisions of the two yellow cards, in this case with others which were not given.

"I don't want to go in that direction. Michael Oliver is a referee with fantastic potential but in four matches he has given three penalties and a red card. I cannot change that. I shook his hand and said many congratulations."

The 23-year-old signed a three-year contract after joining for an undisclosed fee from Vitoria Setubal.
"I have to adapt to the new country and the new way of living. I am going to be successful though," he told Rangers TV.
"I will do my best to help me and my team-mates win. A club as big as Rangers has to win."
Cardoso, a former Portuguese Under-21 international, made 23 appearances for Vitoria Setubal last season, having moved to the club from Benfica.
He becomes the second Portuguese centre-back to move to Rangers this summer after full international Bruno Alves joined from Cagliari.
They have been joined at Ibrox by midfielder Dalcio, on loan from Benfica, and former Aberdeen captain Ryan Jack.
Cardoso said of Alves: "He is an amazing player and is one of the best defenders from my country. I know with him I will learn a lot.
"I met Caixinha for the first time in the airport and I spoke to him a lot.
"I like him and what he had to say and he is the right person to put Rangers where it belongs, which is first place.
"I am very happy to be here. For me, this is the best club in Scotland and I will do my best to help us make history together."
Mexican midfielder Carlos Pena and his compatriot, striker Eduardo Herrera, are awaiting the outcome of a work permit hearing by the Scottish Football Association and are also expected to join the club.
Caixinha thinks Cardoso is a future full international.
"Everyone describes him as having potential to be one of the centre-halves of the future with the national team," he said.
"We believe in him and he can perform on the right or on the left, which is good in a centre-half.
"We try to organise the centre-halves by thinking about them as a double and we have four very good centre-halves who can perform together or independently.
"Fabio is 23, so having an experienced player around like Bruno Alves is good - he is a player whose one main characteristic is leadership - so Fabio will feel comfortable and grow and learn from him."
Swimmer Ms Johnson, who trained and studied in Swansea, received the award at a presentation ceremony on Monday.
The Newport-born athlete, who has cerebral palsy, won gold for Great Britain in the 100m breaststroke in Beijing in 2008.
She said: "Swansea University played an important part on my road to sporting success and I loved my time there."
Scottish Tory leader Ruth Davidson said Better Together agents took "tallies" of postal votes at sample openings held before the count.
Election rules state the results of these openings must be kept secret.
The Crown Office has now instructed police to conduct an investigation into the complaints.
The allegations surround comments made to BBC Scotland by Ms Davidson about 45 minutes after polls closed in the independence referendum on 18 September.
Ms Davidson told the Scotland Decides programme: "We have had people at every sample opening around the country over the last few weeks... and we have been incredibly encouraged by the results from that.
"Going into today, going by the postal votes that were cast, our side would have had a lead and I think that we have a confidence, I hope a quiet confidence, that the quiet majority of Scots have spoken today."
She said postal votes were not counted until after the polls closed, but added: "Different local authorities have had openings around the country. It is illegal to discuss that while any ballot is ongoing, so until 10 o'clock tonight no-one could talk about it.
"But there is people in the room that have been sampling those ballot boxes as they have been opened and they have been taking tallies and the reports have been very positive for us."
Speaking on the BBC's results coverage, Humza Yousaf, the Scottish minister for external affairs, also made reference to indications from "postal ballot sampling".
He told the BBC's Huw Edwards: "The intelligence we're getting is that in those die-hard, traditional Labour areas actually the Yes campaign is starting to break through quite strongly.
"That's initial postal ballot sampling, all the caveats thrown in, etc., etc.."
The SNP said Mr Yousaf was referring to sampling of postal votes after the ballot had closed.
Earlier sample postal vote openings, which were attended by agents from both campaigns ahead of polling day, were held to confirm that personal identifiers - the date of birth and signature - on the postal ballots matched those held on official records.
The ballot papers were supposed to be kept face down when postal voting packs were opened so postal ballot agents and observers were unable to see how people had voted.
A Crown Office spokesperson said: "We can confirm that Crown counsel has instructed Police Scotland to commence an investigation into alleged breaches of Schedule 7, Paragraph 7, of the Scottish Independence Referendum Act 2013."
The act states it is an offence to "attempt to ascertain at the proceedings in connection with the receipt of the ballot papers the outcome for which any vote is given in any particular ballot paper or communicate any information with respect thereto obtained at those proceedings".
Anyone breaching the law could face up to 12 months in prison or a fine of up to £5,000.
The Scottish Conservatives said they were unable to comment but the BBC understands there was a telephone conversation between Ms Davidson and the police on Friday.
Party sources said there was "no suggestion she was accused of doing anything wrong".
Complaints were initially made to the Electoral Commission, which said it had brought them to the attention of police.
A spokesman for Police Scotland said: "We can confirm that we have been instructed to commence an investigation into alleged breaches of Schedule 7, Paragraph 7, of the Scottish Independence Referendum Act 2013.
"Police Scotland will not comment on anyone who may or may not have been spoken to or interviewed as part of any ongoing investigation."
Demand grew as more drugs became available and the £200m of original annual funding was under severe strain. That has been increased to £280m but with a cap on the number of drugs which can be made available.
It has not been clear before now what might happen to the Fund, which is run for patients in England, after the 2015/16 financial year, the last in which firm financing has been committed.
Labour has now come out with a pledge, if elected in May next year, to continue the work of the Cancer Drugs Fund (CDF) but to rebrand it and include treatment such as advanced radiotherapy as well as drugs.
The annual budget, under Labour's plan, would be increased from £280m to £330m.
Labour's Andy Burnham argues that it is perverse for the CDF to pay for expensive drugs which are not available on the NHS but not treatments.
Labour that 40,000 cancer patients each year stand to benefit from radiotherapy which they don't currently receive.
But Labour 's plan raises the question of how rising demand can be met if the Fund is expanded to include treatments as well as drugs. Mr Burnham's extra £50m a year might be accounted for quickly and still leave oncologists and their patients feeling short-changed.
The funding for these cancer measures has come under scrutiny.
Labour wants to use a rebate from the pharmaceutical industry after a deal with the companies to cap the NHS medicines budget. But the Conservatives say the money has already been committed to the NHS. In other words, if Labour wants to re-direct it to the newly relaunched Cancer Drugs Fund, something else will have to be cut.
So what's the Conservative plan for the next parliament?
The Fund is of course David Cameron's baby, his personal initiative after taking office in 2010.
Government sources make it clear that Mr Cameron is committed to continuing the Fund from 2016 if he is still Prime Minister after the election. Technically, though, it is not yet a Conservative manifesto pledge.
All this begs a question - what do the pharmaceutical industry think? Some drug companies don't like the Cancer Drugs Fund. They believe the watchdog National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) should authorise a wider range of new drugs to bring availability of cancer drugs on the NHS into line with many other countries. Other pharma players are happy to do business with the CDF, aware that the prices they can charge are not controlled (though that will change when the restrictions take effect next year).
Another complication has just emerged.
I understand that the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry, the trade body for drug companies, is not happy that politicians pledge money from the rebate deal to specific schemes. They say the arrangement was for the money to be ploughed back into general front line NHS services. Their unhappiness is both towards Labour for earmarking cash for their Cancer Drugs Fund plan and the Government for increasing the CDF from £200 million to £280 million. Watch this space.
Ozancan Akkus was killed with 36 others when a huge explosion ripped through the Kizilay neighbourhood of Ankara on Sunday.
His friend Ali Deniz Uzatmaz was also killed in a bomb attack - this one on 10 October during a peace rally he was attending in the Turkish capital with hundreds of others.
At the time Ozancan, on the left, condemned the death of his childhood friend on social media and paid tribute to him.
"He will live on in our hearts," he wrote on Twitter.
How dangerous is Turkey's unrest?
In a tragic twist of fate Ozancan's own social media pages have today been inundated with tributes. His Facebook page, which before included pictures of the smiling student among friends, is now a virtual cyber-shrine.
"Who would have thought you would share the same fate?" one post reads.
Another simply says: "Good-hearted beautiful people goodbye."
Ozancan's tributes are not the only ones on social media.
Some expressed criticism over what they believed was a brief social media blackout. Others used cyberspace to make an empathetic appeal.
One Facebook user shared a post calling for a universal show of solidarity for Turkey.
Hours after the attack, James Taylor, who lives in Ankara, asked his friends to imagine what it would be like if the attacks happened where they lived. The post has gone viral and has been shared more than 65,000 times.
Today James posted on Facebook that he is humbled by the messages of support he has received.
"It is easy to hate. It is easy to ignore. Why is it so hard to love?"
His latest post which has also had thousands of likes, ends with a poignant message: "We are Paris, we are Ankara, we are Syria, we are Ivory Coast, but above all we are human."

AFC Wimbledon's win at Oxford earlier in the day saw Neal Ardley's side go above MK Dons for the first time in the English Football League and Karl Robinson's day got even worse when Jones netted the winner.
The hosts started brightly and Kieran Agard's downward header was well saved by Jak Alnwick in the Vale goal.
But little more than a minute after watching his strike smack against the Port Vale post, Dons defender Dean Lewington's misjudged handball handed Bruno Ribeiro's side a penalty 10 minutes before the break.
And although Jones' initial strike was superbly saved by Dons keeper David Martin, the Birmingham loanee was perfectly placed to smash home the rebound.
Substitutes Nicky Maynard and Brandon Thomas-Asante both forced saves from Alnwick late on and Ben Reeves hit the bar with a free-kick but they were unable to grab an equaliser.

An independent panel upheld the decision to suspend Barba at Wednesday's operational rules tribunal.
The 28-year-old full-back, who tested positive for cocaine while still a Cronulla player last year, will not be eligible to play until late August.
Barba joined Saints on 24 May after a stint playing rugby union in France.
His cross-code move to France proved a contentious one, as it meant he escaped being sanctioned because the ban only applied to rugby league.
On Barba's return to rugby league with Saints, the RFL - who govern the Super League - sought clarity from the NRL about whether the ban was applicable outside the southern hemisphere competition.
St Helens signed Barba, who was the NRL's player of the year in 2012 and is contracted until 2019, with knowledge of his possible ban, and chairman Eamonn McManus last week criticised the time taken for their appeal to be heard.
He has already served five matches of his 12-game ban and will be available for selection as of Monday, 28 August.
Beaumaris Castle on Anglesey was built in the late 13th and early 14th centuries but never finished.
Now visitors can tour the castle using an interactive app which shows how the finished product would have looked.
It follows a £170,000 investment by the Welsh Government's historic environment service CADW.
Other site improvements include audio-visual displays, new signage and the addition of a family trail.
Ken Skates, cabinet secretary for economy and infrastructure, said: "Along with Harlech, Conwy and Caernarfon castles, Beaumaris Castle forms one of Wales's only three UNESCO World Heritage Sites, so it's crucial that we continue to strengthen its visitor experience to attract visitors from Wales and beyond."
Many of those at the free concert were lifelong fans who for years had to keep quiet about their love of the Stones and other groups.
Mick Jagger welcomed fans in Spanish before opening the performance with the 1968 hit Jumpin' Jack Flash.
The concert comes days after a historic visit by US President Barack Obama.
Tens of thousands of Cubans queued for hours to get into the grounds of Havana's huge 450,000-capacity Ciudad Deportiva venue.
"Hello, Havana. Good evening, my people of Cuba," said Jagger before beginning the eagerly awaited performance.
The band swept through 18 songs in a two-hour gig, including Sympathy for the Devil and Satisfaction.
The gig is being seen as another sign of real change on the island. Until about 15 years ago Cuba's communist government banned most Western rock and pop music, which was deemed decadent and subversive.
But Cuba has changed significantly in recent years, particularly in the past 18 months as the process of rapprochement with the United States has quickened, says the BBC's Will Grant in Havana.
Fans travelled from many parts of Cuba and other countries to witness what some described as a historic moment.
"It was forbidden. We couldn't have the Beatles or some singers from Latin America. Now we are allowed to hear what we want to hear," a fan told the BBC.
"The visit from Obama [earlier this week], and now the Rolling Stones. It's just unique and historic. So, yeah, nice to be here," said another one.
"After today I can die," Joaquin Ortiz, a 62-year-old night watchman, told the Associated Press. "This is like my last wish, seeing the Rolling Stones."
The Rolling Stones released a short video saying their concert was a sign of change in Cuba.
"Time changes everything. So we're very pleased to be here," said Mick Jagger. "It would have been surprising for this to happen 10 years ago."
Cuban authorities said they expected at least half a million people to watch the British band's first concert in Cuba.

Britain's Mirror newspaper has reported that the concert went ahead despite a request from Pope Francis that it be halted because it fell on Good Friday.
The paper said the Vatican had suggested the band could start after midnight.
It quoted a "tour insider" as saying: "The band's team were flabbergasted when the Vatican got in touch by letter - couldn't believe their eyes.
"Much as they didn't want to upset the Pope, they had a contract to play and were going to honour it."
Some athletes, like Tosin Oke, feel the lack of medals reflects a lack of support from the Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN).
The triple jumper alleges discrimination and the holding back of training funds from the AFN.
He also feels let down by the IAAF, after complaining to athletics' governing body about his concerns.
Oke, 36, is the reigning African champion in triple jump.
Having competed for Great Britain as a youngster - winning a European junior title - he switched to compete for his parents' homeland after not being selected for the 2007 World Championships.
Since then, he has won three African titles: two gold medals at the All Africa Games (the "African Olympics") and another gold medal at the 2010 Commonwealth Games. At the 2012 Olympics, Oke was Nigeria's best performing individual athlete - finishing seventh in the final.
Nonetheless, he says he has suffered repeated discrimination at the hands of Nigerian sports authorities, which he believes stems from his public criticisms of their work.
After winning at the 2015 All Africa Games (AAG), Oke wrote to the director-general of the National Sports Commission, the body then responsible for overseeing sport in Nigeria.
In his email to Alhassan Yakmut, the athlete outlined the funds he desired to support an attempt to go for a field medal at the 2016 Olympics - a feat which no Nigerian man has ever achieved.
"Well received. Sorry your refusal to take a lap of honour at the AAG has ruled you out of Rio. Yakmut," came the reply.
A baffled Oke duly sent through pictures of his victory lap but failed to win over Yakmut, who chastised him for looking "emotionless".
Two weeks later, Oke learned that his name had not been put forward by Nigerian officials for an Olympic Solidarity Scholarship training grant provided by the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
"We do not know the criteria used by the IOC," Solomon Ogba, then president of the AFN but now a board member, had told him in March 2015 when Oke had queried his absence.
"The selection was not done by us. What [we] did was send all the names to them," added Ogba, a vice-president of Nigeria's National Olympic Committee (NOC).
Concerned by the tone of Yakmut's mail, Oke wrote to the IOC to ask why it had rejected his application.
"Your name was not included in the list of scholarship requests we received from your NOC," came the IOC reply.
When contacted by the BBC about the discrepancy between their versions of events, Ogba said:
"Athletes were asked to fill the forms which the NOC processed and sent to the IOC. Not all those - to the best of my knowledge - who filled the forms got the scholarship."
Despite lacking training funds, Oke did make it to Rio - after buying an expensive flight to Brazil at late notice when the AFN told him the government had not released funds on time.
Told he would be refunded for his fare in Brazil, Oke realised this would not be the case upon arrival in Rio, so he spent the run-up to his event trying to secure his money, which equated to two months' salary.
"At this point my mind was definitely not on competing, it was on 'this is a huge amount'," he said.
Unlike 2012, Oke failed to reach the final. He says he is still owed for a third of his flight fare. The government says all flight fares have been paid in full.
Nigerian-born athletes hold the fastest 100m times on three different continents:
Oke says he has repeatedly failed to receive significant funds due to him from Nigerian officials - primarily for training grants.
Originating from the Nigerian government, the funds must pass through the AFN before reaching the athletes.
While saying he did receive some grants, Oke claims he was deprived of at least $146,500 (£112,923) more by the AFN between 2010 and 2015.
Ogba rejects the allegations.
"The best thing is for him to petition the government who he claimed released money to the AFN," he told BBC Sport.
"As a matter of fact, most of the monies he claimed to have received were my personal assistance to him and other athletes."
When contacted by the BBC, the Nigerian government declined to comment on this matter.
In December 2015, Oke sent a 10-page statement to the IAAF in which he outlined his allegations of funds being withheld from athletes as well as other claims about lax doping controls and mismanagement - all of which he largely blamed on then-AFN president Ogba.
Ogba denies the allegations.
In his letter, Oke also hoped that its recipient - IAAF President Lord Coe - would find his "experiences serious enough to ask the right questions of the characters running the federation".
The IAAF responded to Oke's letter by sending a representative to meet the athlete, Ogba and the AFN's general secretary in March 2016.
"Having spent time with both Mr Oke and his federation [president and general secretary], the IAAF representative left reassured that the other issues canvassed by Mr Oke would be resolved between them," Huw Roberts, the IAAF's Legal Counsel, told BBC Sport.
The IAAF did not confirm whether or not its representative had brought up the denial of funds at the meeting.
Oke feels the IAAF effectively asked the AFN to investigate itself.
Oke had also told the IAAF how he had witnessed insufficient doping controls in Nigeria.
"This year [2015], I saw an athlete enter the doping room claiming to be another athlete," he wrote. "As ID is not asked for/checked, anything is possible."
The IAAF says that according to its representative, the issue was not raised in March 2016 when he met both Oke and Ogba.
Oke maintains he did discuss wider concerns over doping in Nigeria with the representative, even if he did not directly address the matter above.
"The AFN, under my leadership, fought doping violations with every vigour we could muster," Ogba told BBC Sport.
Oke was not originally set to compete at the 2017 World Championships in London.
As an area champion, he was qualified to do so but the AFN did not put his name forward on time.
"It was the duty of your National Federation to submit your entry in due course," the IAAF told Oke.
"At this late stage, with entry lists being already published, I am afraid there is nothing we can do."
When the BBC asked the IAAF about Oke's letter of 2015 and its various allegations, the initial response that came back two working days later largely dealt with the athlete's selection issues with Nigeria.
It also revealed that the Nigerian had now been included in the World Championships - just six days before the event began.
The IAAF told Oke this was due to "exceptional" circumstances.
Oke, who says he had stopped training in the run-up since he was not expecting to be involved, finished in 25th place.
Despite his experiences, the athlete still hopes to compete for Nigeria at next year's Commonwealth Games.
He is not the only athlete to be frustrated by the way in which Nigerian athletics is run, with several having switched nationality to compete for other countries in recent years.
Since the BBC wrote to the IAAF, the body's Athletics Integrity Unit - which became operational in April - has invited Oke to re-submit his claims.
Roedd y gwleidydd Sinn Féin wedi bod yn dioddef o gyflwr prin ar y galon.
Aeth Mr McGuinness o fod yn arweinydd ar yr IRA i gymodi, a chwaraeodd ran flaenllaw yn llywodraeth ddatganoledig Gogledd Iwerddon yn dilyn Cytundeb Gwener y Groglith 1998.
Yn ei deyrnged iddo, dywedodd Prif Weinidog Cymru, Carwyn Jones: "Chwaraeodd Martin ran hanfodol mewn dod â heddwch i Ogledd Iwerddon.
"Gweithiais yn agos ag ef am sawl blwyddyn ar Gynghorau Prydain ac Iwerddon, Cynghorau Cydweinidogol a thu hwnt.
"Pan siaradai, roedd pobl yn gwrando. Mae'r presenoldeb hwnnw'n esbonio llawer am sut llwyddodd i godi pontydd dros wahaniaethau gwleidyddol. Mae fy meddyliau gyda'i deulu a'i ffrindiau heddiw."
Fe wnaeth arweinydd y Ceidwadwyr Cymreig, Andrew RT Davies, gydnabod cyfraniad Mr McGuinness i'r broses heddwch, ond ychwanegodd y bod yn rhaid cofio am y rhai fu farw yn ystod y trais yng Ngogledd Iwerddon.
"Chwaraeodd Martin McGuinness ran allweddol i ddod â'r Troubles i ben, ond i nifer llawer rhy niferus o deuluoedd yng Ngogledd Iwerddon, ac ar draws y Deyrnas Unedig, bydd yr holl glodfori'r bore 'ma yn ormod," meddai.
Daeth Mr McGuinness yn ddirprwy brif weinidog ar Ogledd Iwerddon yn 2007, gan gydweithio gydag arweinwyr plaid unoliaethol y DUP, Ian Paisley, Peter Robinson ac Arlene Foster.
Dirprwy brif weinidog Cymru ar yr un cyfnod oedd Ieuan Wyn Jones, a dywedodd wrth raglen Post Cyntaf Radio Cymru ei fod wedi cwrdd â Mr McGuinness am y tro cyntaf yn 2007.
"Dyna lle o'n i'n cael fy nghyfarch yn Stormont gan Martin McGuinness ac Ian Paisley, oedd yn brofiad eithaf diddorol ar y pryd," meddai.
"Roedd llywodraeth ddatganoledig Gogledd Iwerddon newydd ddod yn ôl yn 2007 felly roedd o'n brofiad eithaf newydd iddyn nhw ac i mi.
"Ges i brofiad o fynd i gael sgwrs gyda Martin McGuinness sawl tro wedyn yn ystod y pedair blynedd o'n i yn y swydd.
"Roedd o'n gymeriad hawddgar iawn. Roedd ganddo fo'r cefndir o fod yn gefnogol i'r IRA, ond doeddech chi ddim yn ymwybodol o hynny o'i ymarweddiad.
"Roedd o'n hynod o hoffus, yn hawdd iawn i siarad ag o."
Dywedodd Mr Wyn Jones bod Mr McGuinness wastad wedi dangos diddordeb yn yr iaith Gymraeg, a hynny am ei fod yn gobeithio gweld datblygiad Gaeleg yng Ngogledd Iwerddon.
"Oherwydd bod y ddau ohonom yn ddirprwy brif weinidogion, oedden ni'n tueddu i eistedd wrth ein gilydd mewn ciniawau a chynadleddau ac yn y blaen, felly ges i gyfle i gael sawl sgwrs hynod o ddifyr efo fo ynglŷn â gwleidyddiaeth," meddai Mr Wyn Jones.
"Un maes oedd ganddo fo ddiddordeb mawr ynddi oedd y Gymraeg a Gaeleg, a sefyllfa'r ddwy o ran y gyfraith.
"Roedd o'n ein holi ni'n aml ynglŷn â pha fath o fesurau deddfwriaethol y bydden ni'n bwriadu eu gwneud i gryfhau'r Gymraeg, ac wrth gwrs, roedden nhw'n ei chael yn llawer iawn anoddach yng Ngogledd Iwerddon oherwydd bod yr unoliaethwyr yn gwrthod cyflwyno unrhyw fesur fyddai'n cryfhau'r iaith Aeleg yno."
Last month the government lost a Freedom of Information battle to keep its transitional risk register secret.
In a full ruling published on Thursday, the tribunal says why it believes the TRR should be published within 30 days.
The government, which can still appeal to an "upper tribunal", says it is examining the judgement.
Ministers had argued that to publish the register could have a "chilling effect" on how frank civil servants would be with them about risks in future.
The decision was made days after the tribunal hearing last month, but the government has been waiting for the reasons behind it to be published in full before deciding on its next steps.
In the meantime the controversial Health and Social Care Bill has completed its passage through Parliament and become law.
Labour MP John Healey put in an FOI request for the transitional risk register to be published in November 2010, when he was shadow health secretary.
At the time, the government had published a white paper outlining plans to overhaul the NHS.
Ministers cited a "section 35" defence under the FOI Act, which exempts information used in policy formulation and development from having to be released, and rejected the request in December 2010 - the month before the NHS bill was introduced in Parliament
But the section 35 defence is not absolute and must be weighed against the balance of public interest.
Because of the "exceptional" nature of the NHS overhaul, the timing of Mr Healey's request and the nature of the risk register itself - which dealt with "implementation/operational type risks" not direct policy considerations - the tribunal ruled it should be published.
But it said a second risk register relating to the NHS overhaul - a strategic risk register requested under FOI laws by Evening Standard journalist Nicholas Cecil and dealing with "risks which need to be brought to the attention of ministers" - could be kept secret.
The top civil servant at the DoH, Una O'Brien, told the tribunal hearing last month that risk registers were meant to allow civil servants to "think the unthinkable" about what might go wrong - however unlikely - and to publish them could lead to a "very distorted" view of possible risks.
But the tribunal said, having seen the registers, it found it "difficult to understand how they could be described in such a way".
"It seems to us that the TRR identifies the sorts of risks one would expect to see in such a register from a competent department," it said.
The government has argued that to publish could mean civil servants being afraid of being too candid in their advice in future.
But the tribunal said it was "entitled to expect courage and independence from such officials" and that was not a good enough reason to withhold the information.
It said research had suggested there was no evidence to back claims publishing could have a "chilling effect" on future risk registers and pointed out that a risk register had already been published in 2008 on plans for a third runway at Heathrow airport.
While it accepted the "very strong public interest" in allowing officials and ministers private space to develop policies, it said that did not mean there should be an "absolute exemption for risk registers".
Much depended on the timing of the requests - in the case of Mr Healey's request, it was made at a "time when consultation had ceased and policy seemed to be fixed", it said, thereby reducing the need for "safe space" for advice.
"We find in this case that there is a very strong public interest in transparency and accountability in relation to the risks involved in introducing the NHS reforms," the tribunal said.
It argued that the public interest in understanding the risks involved in this case "would have been very high, if not exceptional" and would have provided the public "with a far better understanding of the risks to a national institution which millions depended on".
Publishing it could have either "gone a long way to alleviating" concerns and reassuring the public or "demonstrated the justification for the concerns" to better inform public debate.
The information commissioner had already ruled that it should be published, but the government had appealed to the information tribunal.
A spokesman for the Department of Health said: "We are now examining the judgment given by the information tribunal. We are working closely with colleagues across government and we will set out our next steps as soon as we are able to."
Mr Healey said: "What was the Health Bill is now law but the risks of the government's huge NHS reorganisation remain.
"The government used its big guns to defend its refusal to publish the risk register and this legal judgement demolishes their case for secrecy." | The owners of a "whipped cream delivery service" have denied selling gas canisters allegedly used as a recreational drug.

Mae gwaith ymchwil gan Newyddion 9 yn dangos bod dros ddau draean o gynghorau wedi lleihau nifer y swyddogion yn y bum mlynedd diwethaf, a'r un nifer hefyd wedi lleihau eu cyllideb yn y ddwy flynedd ddiwethaf.
Ni wnaeth bob awdurdod lleol ddarparu gwybodaeth.
Mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn cydnabod bod y swyddogion safonau masnach yn wynebu pwysau ariannol ond eu bod yn parhau i wneud gwaith pwysig.
Un sydd wedi gofyn am gymorth swyddogion safonau masnach yw Mari Major o Ben-y-bont, oedd yn derbyn galwadau niwsans.
Dywedodd: "O ni ddim yn moyn derbyn galwadau ffôn.
"Odd rhai amser o ni'n gadael y ffôn i ganu a ddim derbyn galwadau achos o chi ddim yn gwybod pwy oedd yna... A o chi ddim moyn ateb."
Fe roddodd y swyddogion declyn yn ei thŷ i leihau'r galwadau, ac mae hi'n credu bod hynny wedi bod o fudd: "I ni wedi cael dau neu dri mis ac mae e wedi profi mae'r peth hyn yn gallu gwella... Chi ddim yn cael y galwadau yna."

"O ni yn gweithio i safonau masnach Pen-y-bont, ond nawr 'da ni wedi dod 'efo'n gilydd 'efo Caerdydd a Bro Morgannwg a gweithio'n agos iawn ar draws yr ardal i neud yn siwr bod pawb yn ddiogel."
Ychwanegodd: "Mae rhan fwyaf o'r gwaith yn dod o intillegence... Mae'r ffaith bod na dri cyngor wedi dod at ei gilydd yn neud y gwaith yna yn haws mewn ffordd oherwydd bod ni'n gallu gweithio gyda'n gilydd ar draws ardal eitha mawr o Gymru i neud yn siwr fod pobl yn ddiogel.

It has been the subject of conquest and intrigue for centuries, passing through the hands of Mughal princes, Iranian warriors, Afghan rulers and Punjabi Maharajas.
The 105-carat gemstone came into British hands in the mid-19th Century, and forms part of the Crown Jewels on display at the Tower of London.
Ownership of the gem is an emotional issue for many Indians, who believe it was stolen from them by the British.
William Dalrymple and Anita Anand have written a book titled Kohinoor: The Story Of The World's Most Infamous Diamond, published by Juggernaut. Here the authors write about the main myths surrounding the priceless gem:
After the Koh-i-Noor came into the hands of the Governor-General Lord Dalhousie in 1849, he prepared to have it sent, along with an official history of the stone, to Queen Victoria.
Dalhousie commissioned Theo Metcalfe, a junior assistant magistrate in Delhi with a taste for gambling and parties, to undertake some research on the gem.
But Metcalfe accumulated little more than colourful bazaar gossip that has since been repeated in article after article, book after book, and even sits unchallenged on Wikipedia today as the true history of the Koh-i-Noor.
Below are six of the main "myths" taken on in the book:
Reality: The Koh-i-Noor, which weighed 190.3 metric carats when it arrived in Britain, had had at least two comparable sisters, the Darya-i-Noor, or Sea of Light, now in Tehran (today estimated at 175-195 metric carats), and the Great Mughal Diamond, believed by most modern gemologists to be the Orlov diamond (189.9 metric carats).
All three diamonds left India as part of Iranian ruler Nader Shah's loot after he invaded the country in 1739.
It was only in the early 19th Century, when the Koh-i-Noor reached the Punjab, that the diamond began to achieve its preeminent fame and celebrity.
Reality: The original uncut Koh-i-Noor was flawed at its very heart.
Yellow flecks ran through a plane at its centre, one of which was large and marred its ability to refract light.
That's why Prince Albert, husband of Queen Victoria, was so keen that it be re-cut.
The Koh-i-Noor is also far from being the largest diamond in the world: it's only the 90th largest.
In fact, tourists who see it in the Tower of London are often surprised by how small it is, especially when compared to the two much larger Cullinan diamonds that are displayed near it.
Reality: It is impossible to know when the Koh-i-Noor was found, or where. That's what makes it such a mysterious stone.
Some even believe that the Koh-i-Noor is, in fact, the legendary Syamantaka gem from the Bhagavad Purana tales of Krishna, one of the most popular Gods in the Hindu pantheon.
Indeed, according to Theo Metcalfe's report, tradition had it that "this diamond was extracted during the lifetime of Krishna".
What we do know for sure is that it wasn't mined at all, but unearthed from a dry river bed, probably in south India. Indian diamonds were never mined but found in alluvial deposits of dry river beds.
Reality: While Hindus and Sikhs prized diamonds over other gems, Mughals and Persians preferred large, uncut, brightly-coloured stones.
Indeed in the Mughal treasury, the Koh-i-Noor seems to have only been one among a number of extraordinary highlights in the greatest gem collection ever assembled, the most treasured items of which were not diamonds, but the Mughals' beloved red spinels from Badakhshan and, later, rubies from Burma.
In fact, Mughal emperor Humayun even gave away Babur's diamond - widely thought to be the Koh-i-Noor - to Shah Tahmasp of Persia as a present when he was in exile.
Babur's diamond eventually wound its way back to the Deccan but it's unclear how or when it found its way back into the Mughal court thereafter.
The popular story is that Nader Shah connived to deprive the Mughal emperor of his diamond, which had been squirreled away in his turban.
But, it was far from being a loose, singular gem that Muhammad Shah could secrete within his turban, and which Nader Shah could craftily acquire by a turban swap.
According to the Persian historian Marvi's eyewitness account, the Emperor could not have hidden the gem in his turban, because it was at that point a centrepiece of the most magnificent and expensive piece of furniture ever made: Shah Jahan's Peacock Throne.
The Koh-i-Noor, he writes from personal observation, in the first named reference to the stone - until now untranslated into English - was placed on the roof of this extraordinary throne, set in the head of a peacock.
Reality: According to French gem merchant and traveller Jean-Baptiste Tavernier, who was given permission from Mughal emperor Aurangzeb to see his private collection of jewels, the stone cutter, Hortensio Borgio, had indeed brutally cut a large diamond, resulting in a sad loss of size.
But he identified that diamond as the Great Mughal Diamond that had been gifted to Mughal king Shah Jahan by diamond merchant Mir Jumla.
Most modern scholars are now convinced that the Great Mughal Diamond is actually the Orlov, today part of Catherine the Great's imperial Russian sceptre in the Kremlin.
Since the other great Mughal diamonds have largely been forgotten, all mentions of extraordinary Indian diamonds in historical sources have retrospectively come to be assumed to be references to the Koh-i-Noor.
Police were called to the River Erewash when the teenager did not re-emerge.
Fire officers and the ambulance service helped search for him and police divers found a body within two hours.
Nottinghamshire Police said in a statement that they were investigating the circumstances of the incident.
One local resident told the Nottingham Post that a boy had been there with his parents.
Another said: "He was just playing. You just don't think."
Cleveland Police allegedly tried to monitor the activity of six people after a 2012 front-page story in the Northern Echo.
This included reporters from the paper, a staff member and a solicitor, the Echo said.
The force has not commented to the BBC.
A complaint has been lodged by the Police Federation with the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC).
The force allegedly used the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act (RIPA) - which governs surveillance in relation to crime or concerns over public safety - to identify the whistle-blower.
An application was made, the Echo said, after it published the story, which was based on an internal force report about institutionalised racism within the force.
A Cleveland Police spokeswoman told the paper she could "neither confirm nor deny" whether a RIPA application had been made to monitor the phone activity of three of its journalists, a serving police officer, a solicitor and the then-chairman of Cleveland Police Federation.
Northern Echo editor Peter Barron said: "These allegations are a matter of serious concern - that a police force should apparently go to these lengths to identify the source of a story which was clearly in the public interest.
"This is surely not what the legislation was intended to do and the fact that Cleveland Police will neither confirm nor deny the allegations adds to our concerns."
The IPCC confirmed it had received the letter of complaint from the National Police Federation on behalf of the Cleveland Police Federation chair.
Once registered, the complaint will be referred back to Cleveland Police to look at before the IPCC considers an independent investigation.
It was here that Francisco de Goya painted cartoons for tapestries destined for Spain's royal palaces.
But all that has changed and Van der Goten's heir, Livinio Stuyck, has been told he is an illegal squatter in its palatial premises in central Madrid.
For every week he refuses to leave his luxury flat inside the building, he faces tens of thousands of euros in fines.
The dispute between Mr Stuyck and the Spanish government dates back to the years before the 2008 economic crisis that knocked 9% off Spain's GDP in five years.
Mr Stuyck was the last private owner of the tapestry workshop. It had been passed down in the same family ever since Jacob van der Goten was brought to Spain from Antwerp by King Philip V in 1720.
But in 1997, when the workshop was revealed to be bankrupt, the Spanish national government and Madrid authorities clubbed together to inject close to €2m (£1.7m; $2.2m) into it.
The Royal Tapestry Factory became a publicly owned foundation, with Mr Stuyck in charge.
What no-one seemed to notice was that he carried on living in a 700 sq m (7,535 sq ft) duplex apartment, boasting elegant balconies on the palace's two top floors. It was rent-free, with running costs thrown in.
Even when the money ran out again in 2002 and Mr Stuyck was dismissed as the foundation chairman, his living arrangements stayed the same.

1775-1792: Francisco de Goya paints more than 70 cartoons for tapestries. Most (as above) are now on display as paintings in Madrid's Prado Museum.
1931: After Spain's Second Republic is declared, the workshop loses royal protection and negotiates its future with President Niceto Alcala-Zamora.

"This is a historical anomaly and it's time to put it right," a culture ministry spokesman told the BBC. "This personage has been enjoying a public building as his personal space for 20 years without paying a penny."
The ministry says it asked Mr Stuyck to leave nicely on two occasions, but now it has issued financial penalties aimed at persuading the squatter to move on.
Mr Stuyck will be fined 5% of his home's estimated value each week that he refuses to leave, an amount the authorities have calculated as around €75,000.
When an eviction notice was served in late March, the current manager of the Royal Tapestry Factory Foundation, Alejandro Klecker, explained that despite Mr Stuyck's long family history in the building, he had no legal right to remain there.
"A search was made for property deeds that would support the idea that he has the right to use the apartment. None was found," he said.
Mr Stuyck sees things very differently.
"My family has been here for 300 years. I was born here. I haven't been here for 20 years, but rather 71. It is my home," he told a reporter from Spanish online newspaper El Confidencial.
The BBC tried to contact Mr Stuyck through relatives in Madrid, but he did not make himself available.
While he may prove hard to dislodge, the idea of all that public space in the heart of Madrid has aroused rivalry among the factory's various trustees.
The left-wing council team that took over Madrid city hall after elections in 2015 says its board representative was shocked to discover the wrangle surrounding Mr Stuyck.
"It is because of city hall that this gentleman is being dealt with. We have plans to use all the space at the museum. We asked why this man was living there without anyone doing anything about it. It's inexplicable. The new board reported it to the police," says a spokeswoman for Mayor Manuela Carmena.
It is a complex web likely to require further unravelling.
It said uncertainty about the referendum's result and "paralysis" in government contributed to the negative mood.
The FSB claimed increasing numbers of companies were planning job cuts.
Firms prepared to invest were down by almost a third compared to a year ago.
Mike Cherry, FSB chairman, said the increase in labour and administrative costs also played a role.
More than a thousand of his members were questioned for the survey between April and May.
He called on the government to ensure continued access to the single market in "whatever form that takes".
"We're calling, along with others, for spending on physical infrastructure particularly in the north, for the trans-Pennine route to be done, digital infrastructure to be advanced and the announcement last week to put air capacity on hold by holding back on Heathrow, on Gatwick or anywhere else frankly was not helpful," he added.
Mr Cherry said for the first time since 2009, the UK faced a real chance of recession.
"To head this off, we need to do everything we can to support small firms to grow, create jobs and weather the harsh economic headwinds."
Yingluck Shinawatra was speaking at the opening of the Cites conservation meeting taking place in Bangkok,
The legal market in Thailand is said to be fuelling high levels of poaching across Africa.
Critics say that there is a lack of clarity and detail regarding the proposed changes to the law.
There are about 6,500 elephants in Thailand, of which 2,500 live in the wild. Ivory taken from domesticated elephants can be legally sold in the country but campaign groups and scientific experts say that this law is being used to "launder" ivory taken illegally from Africa.
Thailand is believed to be second only to China as a market for tusks, often brutally removed from elephants across the continent. It is estimated that between 50 and 100 African elephants a day are being killed to meet the demand.
Speaking at the opening of the Convention on the International Trade in Endangered Species (Cites) in Bangkok, the Thai PM said that no one cares more about elephants than the people of Thailand.
But she acknowledged that the current system was being abused.
The Convention assigns animals and plants to different categories depending on the level of threat they face:
"Unfortunately, many have used Thailand as a transit country for the illegal international ivory trade," she told the meeting.
"As a next step we will forward amending the national legislation with the goal of putting an end on ivory trade and to be in line with international norms."
No further details were given as to the timing and scope of any ban. Some campaigners were delighted with the announcement, saying they understood the proposed changes would protect all forms of elephants including Thailand's wild and domestic elephants and those from Africa.
Stuart Chapman from WWF told BBC News it was a "big occasion."
"We need to see detail in terms of the timeframe but it all starts with a commitment and we've never had that before, today the prime minister made that commitment," he said.
"This is a very important first step."
Others though were more cautious believing that Ms Yingluck was talking about curbing the international flow of ivory into Thailand by beefing up a DNA testing programme to validate the origins or tusks.
And with up to 5,000 stores, boutiques and kiosks selling ivory to tourists across Thailand, many believe it will be impossible to stem the trade, whatever the law says.
Philip Mansbridge is the chief executive of the wildlife charity, Care for the Wild. He told BBC news that the PM's intentions were unclear.
"While it is positive that the host country has recognised the size of the ivory issue and the importance of it, we were disappointed by the lack of a clear commitment to banning the domestic trade," he said.
"We don't feel it has gone far enough."
The Cites meeting runs until the 14th of March and will consider 70 proposals from governments to regulate the trade in species including polar bears, rhinos and several different varieties of sharks.

Yusuf Sonko, from Toxteth, was found on Tagus Street, Toxteth, at about 20:30 BST on Friday.
He was taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead. A post-mortem examination found he died from a single gunshot wound to the head.
His family said "his cheeky smile and charisma could light up any room".
They said Yusuf was "kind, loving, and intelligent. His memory will live on in our hearts forever."
Det Ch Supt Paul Richardson said detectives are "out to establish any potential motive".
Det Ch Supt Paul Richardson said CCTV footage from the area will be examined but "someone somewhere knows who has done this and I ask them to search their conscience and do the right thing and give us the information".
The shooting follows two gun attacks in Seaforth and Fazakerley where two men were hurt in "linked" attacks in their homes.
Mr Richardson said the attacks "clearly show that organised criminals still have ready access to firearms despite extensive work undertaken by Merseyside Police".
The date was 2 May, 1993. There were two games of the inaugural Premier League season remaining and the title race was about to be decided.
However, the scene of victory would not be Old Trafford but Mottram Hall, a golf course in Cheshire.
Ferguson was desperate to secure his first English league title and United's first since 1967, but to escape the tension the day before United played Blackburn, he had gone to play golf rather than watch their only remaining challengers, Aston Villa, play Oldham live on TV.
As Ferguson describes it, he was on the 17th green when a car screeched to a halt nearby and he heard footsteps on a gravel path. "A man I didn't know came over the hill with a huge smile on his face and said: 'Excuse me Mr Ferguson, you are the champions. Oldham have won at Villa.'"
That man was Lavender and he would become the most famous 'stranger' in football.
During the next two decades of United success after United success, his tale has been repeatedly referred to by newspapers and broadcasters when they recall how that first Ferguson title was 'won on the golf course'.
He was also mentioned in various publications, including United's official illustrated history and the legendary Scot's autobiography.
Many thanks for your letter and indeed you are obviously that famous stranger that made my day! As I never saw you again, you are part of the folklore of that great day
Nobody knew Lavender's name, but Ferguson never forgot him. Which is why, when Lavender got in touch in 2007 to disclose his identity as the "man he didn't know" on that decisive day, Ferguson sent him a warm letter of appreciation in reply.
That letter now takes pride of place on the wall in the bistro at the hotel that Lavender, aged 66 and a lifelong Red, runs in Poitou-Charentes, France.
It read: "Many thanks for your letter and indeed you are obviously that famous stranger that made my day! As I never saw you again, you are part of the folklore of that great day."
Lavender remembers clearly how events unfolded and told BBC Sport: "I'd finished my round and came into the bar to have a beer. The Villa game was on a TV in there and the commentator said something like 'Alex Ferguson does not even know he has just won his first title'.
"The guy sitting next to me was one of the junior professionals at the club and he said 'yeah, because he's out here playing golf'.
"So I asked him what time Ferguson had started his round and made a mental note because I was then leaving. Mottram Hall has got this long driveway in and out and, as I was driving out, I thought to myself that he might be around there somewhere.
"I looked up to the 17th green and saw him. So I stopped the car and climbed up to the raised green and, apparently in a very polite manner, told him the good news.
"First of all, he did a double take because he wanted to make sure I wasn't taking the mickey. As soon as he was satisfied with that, he just went absolutely crazy. He was so happy, he started shouting and dancing around with his playing partner, who I later found out was his son Mark.
"I just thought well, this is his moment, not mine, so I left them to it. The rest is history."
Lavender, a former United season ticket holder and "massive fan" who lived in the Manchester area before moving to France in 2005, shared his story with friends and family but it was many years later when somebody told him that he was mentioned in Ferguson's autobiography.
"The next shot was abandoned and as we made our way back down the 18th fairway, my thoughts went back to 1962 when Arnold Palmer won the Open at Troon.
"I'll never forget the sight of him marching between the massed ranks of his fans towards the last green. That's how I felt, like a real champion, as I strode up that fairway."
Extract from Sir Alex Ferguson's autobiography
"I decided to reveal myself," Lavender said. "So I wrote to him, half thinking I might get a ticket for a game or something, and I got that really nice letter back which was a nice surprise.
"I identified myself by describing things I thought he might remember about the details of the scene on that famous day and where and how I approached him.
"When I got back in my car to drive home that day, another guy arrived and went up to Ferguson as well. I remember the talk at the golf club was that he was the first to tell him, but he wasn't - it was me."
Since 1993, Ferguson has seen his side seal titles while watching snooker (1994) or at the gym (1997) as well as on the pitch. No matter how he has triumphed, though, it has not compared with the elation of that first success.
"Every time you win the title it is special," Ferguson said immediately after beating Villa 3-0 on 22 April to clinch his latest crown. "But the first one was the best one because it took away all the pressure at the club for us for many years and really opened the door for us."
Did Lavender expect Ferguson to still be at the top, 20 years on? "It's amazing," he said. "That first title is a long time ago now but he is clearly an amazing man. He just keeps on winning and he knows how to take his teams to the pinnacle.
"It was a shock that he remembered me. So many things happen to people like him in all his successes down the years and it is hard to imagine how or why he would recall that incident so well.
"But it is great that he did remember and even better that he responded about it."
The upgraded facility will allow vessels of up to 1,115ft (340m) in length - it previously could take ships under a length of 985ft (300m).
A spokesman said the work would "future proof" the port's cruise business as the industry continued to grow.
The first vessel expected to use the new extension is the Holland America Koningsdam on 11 May.
Port chief executive Bill Reeves, said: "The berth extension is to future proof our relationship with the cruise lines.
"Cruise lines and their visits are a significant part of our turnover so we have to make sure we can continue to service them and support them well into the future."
The port said it was expecting 24 cruise ships in 2017 - 10 of which will be first time visitors - bringing a total of more than 36,000 passengers.
The engineering project to create the longer berth has taken a year.
Two concrete and steel platforms weighing 1,200 tonnes each have been attached to seven 23m-long piles, 9m-deep in the sea bed.
The berth was officially opened by South Dorset MP Richard Drax
Rea, 30, has won all four races in the championship so far, having also sealed a double in the opening round of the series at Phillip Island in February.
The defending world champion won Sunday's race two in Buriram by 4.07 seconds from England's Tom Sykes
Rea has a 30-point lead over Chaz Davies at the top of the standings.
The Kawasaki rider becomes the first rider since Englishman Neil Hodgson in 2003 to win the first four races of the season.
Having dominated practice and qualifying and won race one on Saturday, Rea secured a convincing victory in the second event of the weekend.
The race was initially red-flagged after Aprilia rider Lorenzo Savadori crashed out, depositing oil and debris from his machine.
Rea was forced to start from ninth because of the new reverse grid positions rules introduced for World Superbikes in 2017 but soon made his way to the front, before the race was brought to a premature halt.
Back in pole for the 16-lap restart, the County Antrim man pulled away from his rivals to chalk up the 42nd triumph of his career in the series, including 12 doubles.
Rea has now won five of the six races held over the Chang International Circuit since the Thai round was introduced in 2015.
"I'm so happy. I made a good start and managed to get clean away and stay in a rhythm. I'm feeling good with the bike," said Rea.
As he did on Saturday, Sykes overtook Marco Melandri on the final corner to clinch second spot, with Alex Lowes, Jordi Torres and Welshman Davies, who slid off in the original race, completing the top six.
Eugene Laverty finished 15th and now lies 11th in the championship, with 15 points.
The next round will be held in Aragon at the start of April.
By comparison, £870m was spent during the nine weeks of last summer's window.
Business analyst Deloitte expects gross outlay to rise above £1bn before the window closes on 31 August.
A new £5bn three-year television deal, which starts this season, is fuelling "unprecedented" spending amid "unreal" player valuations, football finance expert Rob Wilson told BBC Sport.
"There's no questioning the impact of the TV deal," added Sheffield Hallam University's Wilson, who said he had expected spending in the first week of this summer's window to be even higher.
Each club can expect to receive between £30m and £50m from the Premier League for 2016-17 as a result of the TV contract, under which Sky are paying £4.2bn and BT £960m for the rights to show live top-flight matches over the next three seasons.
Wilson believes that is driving player values through the roof. "We've seen this trend, over the last two or three deals at least, but we never thought the valuations would go up that much. It's unreal," he said.
The combined total spent by Premier League clubs over the summer and winter transfer windows last season was £1.045bn - up from £965m for 2014-15.
BBC Sport based its own estimate on actual fees announced by clubs and on reported figures when the value of a transfer has been undisclosed.

Manchester United have been among the biggest spenders, reportedly paying £26m for Borussia Dortmund attacker Henrikh Mkhitaryan and £30m for Villarreal defender Eric Bailly.
Neighbours Manchester City bought Dortmund midfielder Ilkay Gundogan for a reported £20m, and also spent an estimated £13.8m on Celta Vigo winger Nolito.
Liverpool, one of the biggest gross spenders in 2014-15, paid £34m for Southampton forward Sadio Mane this summer. That deal was announced in late June but clubs can only complete the transfers and register players from 1 July onwards, when the window opens.
Champions Leicester have broken their transfer record with a £16m deal for CSKA Moscow striker Ahmed Musa, and have also brought in midfielder Nampalys Mendy from Nice for a reported £13m and German goalkeeper Ron-Robert Zieler from Hannover 96.
Even clubs promoted from the Championship have spent heavily. Middlesbrough can count Denmark international winger Viktor Fischer, signed from Ajax, among their new arrivals, while midfielder Marten de Roon was signed from Atalanta for a reported fee of around £12m.

In recent seasons, more - and bigger - deals have been completed during the second half of a transfer window, analysts say.
"As we go through the window, some other teams respond, such as Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City," Wilson said.
"Prices go up quite sharply. With the European Championships finishing, players such as Antoine Griezmann will see their value increase, because of his performances and the valuation of the TV deal."
France international Paul Pogba, for example, has been linked strongly with a £100m move to Manchester United, the club he left in 2012. His agent, Mino Raiola, also represents Mkhitaryan and another of United's summer signings, Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
It is thought a number of clubs have shown interest in Juventus midfielder Pogba and, if he were to move to the Premier League, the 23-year-old would be likely to command a fee in excess of the world record £85.3m Real Madrid paid to Tottenham Hotspur for Gareth Bale in September 2013.
Dozens of youths threw projectiles at police, who responded by charging at them.
Demonstrators were protesting over issues including unemployment, poverty and official corruption.
They want the government not to pay its international debts and do more to improve health and education.
The BBC's Guy Hedgecoe in Madrid says protesters travelled from all corners of Spain, many of them making the journey on foot, in order to voice their anger.
They called their protest the march of dignity, our correspondent says, because they say that the government of Mariano Rajoy is stripping Spaniards of just that.
For many of them, the cutbacks that Mr Rajoy has implemented, in particular to health and education, are causing Spain irreparable damage.
Although most of the demonstration took place peacefully, violence broke out later on Friday with a number of arrests and several policeman injured.
Analysts say that Spain came out of recession in the second half of 2013.
But unemployment soared with the government's labour reforms which reduced the cost of hiring and firing.
The defender, 30, has been hampered by injuries in recent seasons, and pulled out shortly before Wednesday's game.
"There is no injury," said manager Roberto Martinez. "We did not want to take any risks with him and Kompany did not feel well after the warm-up."
Meanwhile, Tottenham's Vincent Janssen suffered concussion during the game.
The 22-year-old striker, who has scored four times for Spurs since a £17m summer move from AZ Alkmaar, was substituted in the first half after colliding with Belgium keeper Simon Mignolet.
Kompany had asked to be replaced at half-time during City's 1-0 EFL Cup loss at Manchester United last month because he was "tired".
City boss Pep Guardiola says Kompany has a future at the club, but needs "faith to play regularly" after a run of injuries.
The centre-back was named on the teamsheet for Wednesday's friendly in Amsterdam, but was then replaced by Watford's Christian Kabasele.
Ajax midfielder Davy Klaassen put the Dutch ahead from the penalty spot before Yannick Carrasco netted a late equaliser for the Red Devils.
Kompany is now a doubt for the World Cup qualifier against Estonia on Sunday.
"I want every player to be 100%," said Martinez. "I would be surprised if he can play Sunday, but it is still too early to say.
"We will have to assess the situation, especially with his club. If he is not ready, I will take another defender."

It was bought by Jack Wang, CEO of a Shanghai-based biomedical firm, who had flown in specially for the sale.
Professor Crick won the prize in 1962 for his discovery of the structure of the DNA molecule, making it possible to decode how living beings function.
It was one of 10 lots put up for sale by Crick's heirs.
On Wednesday a letter written by Crick, describing for his 12-year-old son his discovery of the double helix shape of DNA, sold for $5.3m - far exceeding its estimate.
The sales will in part benefit scientific research.
Much of the bidding at Thursday's auction happened remotely, by telephone and internet - but Jack Wang was so determined to buy the Nobel Prize medal that he flew in from California, and was prepared to offer double what he ended up paying, reports the BBC's Barbara Plett from New York.
He said he was looking for ways to encourage research into his own company's technology.
"We're going to form a committee and then judge which scientists have contributed to new technology, and then we're going to pass that medal and diploma to the winner," said Mr Wang.
Crick discovered the structure of DNA along with two other scientists, James Watson and Maurice Wilkins.
"We have found the secret of life," he announced in a Cambridge pub in 1962.
All three later received the Nobel prize for "their discoveries concerning the molecular structure of nucleic acids and its significance for information transfer in living material".
His granddaughter, Kendra, said the family decided to sell the medal and other of his possessions in part to raise money for scientific research, and was overwhelmed by the result.
"It's all about this excitement around science and if it can inspire anyone, I'm sure that would make him very happy," she said.
This is only the second time that a Nobel medal has been sold in public auction.
Part of the proceeds will go to fund a new medical research institute in London named in honour of Francis Crick.
Home Office figures show that the total increased to 2,259 in 2014-15, compared to 1,877 in the previous year.
Almost 75% of these were classed as race hate crimes - 1,677, a 19% increase on the previous year.
But campaigners say much of the rise is due to better reporting, and communities feeling more positive about coming forward to report incidents.
Chair of the Hate Crime Criminal Justice Board Cymru, Mark Warrender said: "We welcome the increase in recorded hate crimes across the Welsh forces as a positive indicator that communities are feeling confident to report hate crime to us.
"Although initially it may seem alarming that levels have risen, this doesn't necessarily mean that more hate crime is happening.
"We still, however, have work to do.
"Although some of the percentage increases in recorded hate crimes are significant, the actual numbers are still low, particularly for disability, transphobic and religious hate crimes."
In Wales as a whole, the next highest hate crime was for sexual orientation, at 351, followed by disability at 202, religion at 84 and transgender at 38.
The rises in hate crime and race hate crime in Wales were broadly similar to those for Wales and England taken together.
Marking National Hate Crime Awareness Week, the Gwent Police and Crime Commissioner Ian Johnston said the force was encouraging people to report such offences.
"I personally believe the increase in reported hate crime is a result of improved accuracy in recording practices and victims having the confidence to report these crimes to the police and partner agencies," said Mr Johnston.
"My overall priority is that people have the confidence to report these crimes and they can be assured that they are dealt with in the appropriate manner."
The Assistant Chief Constable of the Dyfed-Powys force, Liane James, said it was vital people came forward when they witnessed hate crimes.
"Hate crimes and incidents hurt; they can be confusing, frightening and can leave victims feeling vulnerable and insecure," she said.
BBC Wales has also asked both South Wales and North Wales Police to respond.
Nadeem Muhammad, 43, of Tinline Street, Bury, was stopped by security staff on 30 January.
He was questioned and then released by police, before his rearrest on Sunday.
The Pakistani national, charged with making or possessing an explosive under suspicious circumstances, was remanded in custody and is due to appear at Southwark Crown Court on 13 March.
Katie McCreath, defending, indicated that he would be plead not guilty to the charge at a future hearing.
Jessica Hart, prosecuting, said the case would not be proceeding under the terrorism protocol.
Crabtree has spent his entire 16-year professional career at the Giants, playing 423 games and scoring 79 tries.
The nephew of legendary wrestler Big Daddy, he also represented England 18 times.
"My head and body are telling me it's time to hang up the boots while still a regular first teamer," he said.
"It has been an honour and a pleasure to serve my hometown club throughout my entire professional playing career and while retirement from playing is a major landmark, the bonus is that I can have my nose put back to its original position!" he added.
Crabtree was part of the losing Huddersfield sides in the 2006 and 2009 Challenge Cup finals and was named in the Super League Dream Team in 2013 when the Giants won the League Leaders Shield.
He will take up a role with the club's commercial and marketing team.
"Eorl has been an outstanding player for this club and no-one should be in any doubt that he ranks among the finest professional sportsmen to ever to come from Huddersfield." said Giants managing director Richard Thewlis
"His playing record in the toughest sporting league, in physically the toughest position to me, marks him out as someone very special. He was the mainstay and cornerstone of our pack for years and without doubt a talisman for the supporters to get behind."

She became involved with charity work when she lost her daughter, Caron Keating, to breast cancer in 2004.
She said: "It feels unbelievable and fantastic and I can't begin to tell you how thrilled I am but at the same time very humbled by it all because I know many, many people all over the county do so much.
"When I lived in Northern Ireland my mum always taught us to give back, so we were always involved in charities of some sort.
"When Caron died, it became even more important and I go as far as to say that running the charity and doing charity work is part of my healing, it's something positive against the deep negativity of losing Caron.
"I know that she would be thrilled to bits with what we are doing in her name," she added.
Prof Mahendra Varma has been appointed an OBE. The South African of Indian origin was recognised for his services to cardiology in Northern Ireland.
He has been a consultant cardiologist at the Erne Hospital in Enniskillen since 1981 and is the chairperson of the Northern Ireland Chest Heart and Stroke.
He said he was "delighted".
"I accept it on behalf of myself and my colleagues. I am particularly indebted to the team of nurses who worked with me over more than a 30 year period.
"All the change and innovation which have been achieved would not have been possible without their unswerving commitment and support."

Belfast pastor Jack McKee has become an MBE for services to the community in the Shankill and Falls area in Belfast.
He said: "Obviously, I initially felt a sense of humility and I got quite emotional about it.
"There's obviously a lot of deserving people in our community and I am humbled to be among them.
"I would not be receiving it as a personal thing but in recognition of those who have stood with me.
"It is very much a recognition of the staff and volunteers of the City Life Centre and of New Life City Church," he added.
Michael Cecil, chairman of the Rathlin Development and Community Association, he has been awarded an OBE for services to community development on Rathlin Island.
Speaking from the Greek island of Lesbos, where he is helping refugees, he said: "When I got the letter I had mixed feelings, I do a lot of humanitarian work.
"Part of the reasons people are fleeing the Middle East is western policy, including UK policy, so it partially conflicts with what I do.
"But I don't want to politicise it, I see it as recognition of the role rather than me personally.
"I have been fortunate that an awful lot has happened in my favour in recent years with the Northern Ireland Executive recognising the importance of Rathlin and the work of a lot of people on the island."
"Hopefully it might open a few ears to me," he added.
Colm Davis, the principal of Tor Bank School in Castlereagh, County Down, has been appointed an OBE for services to children with special educational needs.
He said: "I am absolutely stunned, humbled, delighted and over the moon.
"The last five weeks trying to keep it a secret have been difficult.
"But all of it wouldn't have been possible without the school, the kids, the staff and the parents, they've been wonderful and very supportive.
"Fighting for those most vulnerable kids in society, those with severe and complex needs, you want the best for them and that's made my life and my commitment to my work worthwhile," he added.
The Lisburn-based businessman John Cunningham has been awarded a CBE.
In 2008, he sold most of his business, Kelman, to GE, the global industrial firm.

The vehicle burst into flames in the crash on Poppyfields Way, Branton, Doncaster, on Tuesday.
An 18-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.
A 21-year-old man and a 15-year-old boy have also been arrested on the same charge. A woman, 21, was held on suspicion of assisting an offender.
The three people arrested earlier have now been bailed as police enquiries continue.
All four are from the Doncaster area, South Yorkshire Police said.
The dead men, who were in the car, have not been formally identified. A third male remains in a critical condition following the crash.
South Yorkshire Police is trying to trace the occupants of an estate car which was towing a caravan close to the scene.
But when Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton arrived at the Urban League conference in Ft Lauderdale on Friday - the first time they have shared a stage since 2013 - only one participant was itching for a fight.
After detailing her close ties to the black community before an audience of civil-rights advocates and minority entrepreneurs, Mrs Clinton took dead aim at the man who could someday stand between her and the White House - mocking one of his campaign slogans, "Right to Rise".
"I don't think you can credibly say that everyone has a right to rise, and say you're for phasing out Medicare or for repealing Obamacare," she said.
"People can't rise if they can't afford healthcare. They can't rise if the minimum wage is too low to live on. They can't rise if their governor makes it harder for them to get a college education. And you cannot seriously talk about the right to rise and support laws that deny the right to vote."
Mr Bush recently said he was in favour of means-testing the government-run programme for healthcare for the elderly, Medicare, and he caused a political furore when he was governor for doing away with admissions preferences for minorities in Florida's universities.
When Mr Bush took the stage roughly an hour later, he declined to return fire on the former secretary of state. Instead, he touted his record in Florida, made his oft-repeated promise to enact policies that will boost US annual economic growth to 4% and spoke of education reform.
"I believe in the right to rise in this country," he said, without reference to Mrs Clinton's earlier swipes at the slogan. "And a child is not rising if he's not reading."
His speech was delivered with little of the passion that fuelled Mrs Clinton's address or, for that matter, that of Senator Bernie Sanders, another Democratic presidential hopeful.
He received polite applause from the audience throughout, with a few more animated responses, such as when he noted that as governor he helped remove the Confederate symbol from the Florida state flag and "put it in a museum, where it belongs".
The differing tones of the two speeches could be explained by the different goals of the two candidates.
Mrs Clinton needs to engage black voters - one of the Democrats' most loyal constituencies. Mr Bush, on the other hand, scores points just by keeping his promise to reach out beyond the Republican base.
The kinds of sharp attacks on Democrats - and President Barack Obama, in particular - that are de rigueur before conservative audiences would fall flat at the Urban League.
Mr Bush, like Mrs Clinton, has never been considered a particularly effective orator.
He tends to be best in more informal settings, such as the question-and-answer session that took place after his speech on Friday. When asked how to make government civil rights compliance investigations go more smoothly, his quip had the audience laughing.
"I pretty much know you're a black man," he told Urban League President Marc Moria. "And you pretty much know I'm a white guy, right? I don't need to spend a lot of quality time going through that."
Although Mr Bush stayed above the fray during his appearance on Friday, his campaign communications director, Tim Miller, was quick to offer a retort.
"Clintonesque move to pass over chance to unite in favour of a false cheap shot," he tweeted. "When you have no record of accomplishment to point to..."
There's a bit of irony in Mrs Clinton's most recent jabs at her Republican counterpart. Several weeks ago, her husband Bill and Jeb's brother George W posed on the cover of Time magazine as "the most surprising couple in politics".
On Thursday Lanny Davis, a former adviser to Mr Clinton, penned an opinion piece for the Daily Caller, praising the civil tone offered by the Clintons and the Bushes, contrasting it with the bombast of candidates like Donald Trump.
"I have a feeling that if Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush end up as the presidential nominees of both major parties in 2016 - and that may not be the case - that they will conduct a campaign debating the issues that will make most Americans proud, regardless of the outcome,"
That may yet be the case.
But Mrs Clinton's comments on Friday should be considered a shot across the bow for the would-be Republican nominee. When the highest political office in the US is on the line, nice guys - and women - often finish last.
The BBC understands that the police were called to Drumragh Care Home in Omagh in July following reports of a resident being tied to a chair.
The person was left bruised and shaken.
Four Seasons Healthcare said the home's manager notified the Western Health and Social Care Trust safeguarding team when a member of staff raised concerns about the conduct of an agency nurse.
As an investigation is under way, it said it would be inappropriate to comment.
"We have an active whistle blowing policy that encourages our staff, the people in our care, their relatives or visiting professionals to raise any concerns they may have about any aspect of care or staff conduct," the group's statement added.
"These are always reported to the authorities as appropriate so they can be independently investigated in a thorough and transparent way."
The police confirmed that one person has been released on bail pending further enquiries.
The care home offers day and round-the-clock care for those with dementia and physical disabilities.
A whistle blower contacted the BBC about the incident.
But a new invention could provide the answer to cleaning up the ocean - by sifting off all the rubbish.
The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is a massive area of ocean in America between California and Hawaii, where loads of plastic waste gathers.
But now a Dutch company hope they've come up with an idea that will make cleaning up the rubbish here a much quicker and easier job.
Millions of tonnes of rubbish ends up in the oceans every year, and most of it comes from the land.
For example litter gets swept into drains, and ends up in rivers - so that plastic straw or cup lid you dropped could all end up in the sea.
And because most plastic isn't biodegradable - meaning they can't easily be broken down - they may be stuck there for many years.
The plastic is carried by currents and goes into one of the world's five revolving water systems.
These water systems are called gyres, and the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is the most famous one - half way between Hawaii and California.
It also has another name - the Pacific Trash Vortex.
Not everyone agrees on it's size, but it has been called the largest rubbish dump on Earth.
The main idea behind The Ocean Cleanup is to let the ocean's currents do the work.
U-shaped floating barriers are attached to the ocean floor by anchors, but fish and animals can still swim underneath it without getting trapped.
The barriers will move more slowly than the plastic and act as "artificial coastlines," picking up rubbish as they go.
Then the floating plastic is forced to a collection point, where it can be taken out and shipped to shore for recycling, into things like sunglasses and car bumpers.
The idea came from Boyan Slat, a 22-year-old from the Netherlands, who created The Ocean Cleanup back in 2014.
Back then he said he hoped to clean up 42% of the ocean's rubbish in 10 years.
Since then he's developed his original idea into this one, which he says will cost less and make the clean up much faster.
His new aim to is to remove 50% of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch in just 5 years.
Officials said they had lied when they applied for tourist visas and would not be allowed to work in Guatemala.
The Dutch group, Women on Waves, offers free abortion services to women in countries where the procedure is banned.
It takes women in the early stages of pregnancy out to international waters, where the abortion is performed.
Abortion is only allowed in Guatemala when the mother's life is at risk.
A spokeswoman for Women on Waves confirmed that they had been told to leave the country immediately, but she said its lawyers had appealed against the decision.
La Prensa Libre newspaper said the four crew members being expelled were US citizens.
It is not clear if other members of the group have also been ordered to leave the country.
The Army said on Thursday it had been instructed by President Jimmy Morales to act, and would defend "human life and the laws of our country" by preventing the group from carrying out abortions.
The Women on Waves' boat docked on the Pacific Ocean port of Quetzal, in the city of San Jose, on Wednesday.
The group says it had a legal permit to sail in Guatemalan waters and the boat was being illegally "detained" by the authorities.
The group says more than 60,000 illegal abortions are performed in Guatemala every year, and most of the women who put their lives at risk at the hands of untrained professionals are poor.
"We respect religious beliefs but this [abortion] is a fundamental right in a democracy," spokeswoman Leticia Zevich told La Hora Newspaper.
However, Guatemala's Catholic Church, other religious leaders and politicians protested against the presence of the boat.
In most Latin American countries, abortion is either illegal or only allowed to save the life of the woman.
Mutlu Kaya, 19, is in a critical condition after being shot on Monday in Diyarbakir province, a conservative region in south-east Turkey.
A gun was fired from the garden and through a window of her house as she rehearsed.
Her ex-boyfriend, identified as Veysel E, has been charged with attempted murder.
Local media reported he had denied the accusation, although he admitted to being "opposed to Mutlu Kaya's participation on the show".
The 26-year-old was one of three men detained by authorities, but the other two were later released.
Ms Kaya had reportedly received death threats for singing on Sesi Cok Guzel - roughly translated as Sounds Beautiful - a popular song contest similar to shows like Britain's Got Talent and The Voice.
Her father, Mehmet Kaya, told the BBC's Turkish service his daughter remained unconscious in hospital.
He said the shooting took place in the early hours of Monday morning, while he was asleep.
Ms Kaya "was busy practicing her song" with her sister when "there was a knock on the window".
The attacker had previously knocked on the door but "my kids didn't answer it," he continued.
"When they again didn't open the window, he broke it, drew the curtain and shot my girl in the head."
"He had bothered my girl three or four times before, insisting 'you will marry me'," Mr Kaya said. "The girl was clear, she wouldn't marry him. I hope God will help us."
Ms Kaya had been mentored on the TV show by Sibel Can, one of Turkey's best-known folk singers.
After the shooting, she posted a picture of the teenager on Instagram, writing: "My beautiful girl Mutlu, how could they wound you? I am very sad."
The Posta newspaper reported on Sunday Ms Kaya had received death threats after appearing on the show.
It suggested they had come from members of her father's clan, something which he strenuously denied.
"The media portrayed our situation badly," he told the BBC. "They are claiming her father did this.
"Yes I am in a tribe. But we don't have any of this honour killing nonsense. I enrolled my daughter into school myself. We are knowledgeable. We are a family that believes in democracy. Would any father do anything like this to his daughter?
"I am proud of her. And then am I to hurt her? There is no truth to those claims."
Ms Kaya's uncle described the shooting as "violent barbarity".
"It can't be described in any other way," Mehmet Nesih Gunes told the BBC.
"She was so young. Beginning her career. To try to kill someone like that is to kill humanity." | The Koh-i-Noor is one of the world's most controversial diamonds.

Gao Hucheng said at a G20 meeting in Shanghai that major economies must lead the way in tackling problems, including slowing trade and sluggish growth.
To boost trade the G20 ministers, from the world's major economies, agreed to cut trade costs, increase policy co-ordination and enhance financing.
They also approved a trade growth plan.
"We agree that we need to do more to achieve our common objectives for global growth, stability and prosperity," the G20 ministers said in a statement.
Mr Gao said the international community now expected the G20 to show initiative and leadership in solving economic growth problems.
China's will host the main G20 summit later this year.
"In the past few years through our shared hard work, the global economy emerged from its previous low and is developing in a good direction,'' Mr Gao had said at the meeting held over the weekend.
He added however that "the deep effects of the global financial crisis can still be felt".
"The revival and growth of the global economy is still lacking in strength," Mr Gao said. "Low levels of global trade and investment have not recovered to their pre-financial crisis levels."
Mr Gao did not mention Brexit in his opening remarks at the meeting, but the vote by the UK to leave the EU has added to the global financial uncertainty.
In June the World Bank cut its forecast for the global economy in 2016 from 2.9% to 2.4%.
And in April the International Monetary Fund had cut its forecast to 3.2% from 3.4%.

"We have to work together like never before" Mr Obama said during a speech at a White House cybersecurity summit hosted in Silicon Valley.
The issue has become a White House priority since a widely publicised hack of Sony Pictures at the end of 2014.
But some key tech firms are concerned about government surveillance.
Senior Google, Yahoo and Facebook executives turned down invitations to the summit, held at Stanford University.
Relations between the US government and tech firms have been strained relations since electronic surveillance practices were exposed by former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden.
Mr Obama is backing the creation of information sharing and analysis organisations (ISAOs) to help firms and government share material on potential threats.
The plan calls for the development of a common set of voluntary standards for organisations to follow to ensure civil liberties protection, according to the White House.
Mr Obama has also launched an intelligence unit to co-ordinate cyber-threat analysis.
"Just as we're all connected like never before, we have to work together like never before, both to seize opportunities but also meet the challenges of this information age," Mr Obama said.
"Government cannot do this alone. But the fact is that the private sector can't do it alone either because it's government that often has the latest information on new threats."
But one cybersecurity analyst said the proposals "face significant headwinds" from both Congress and large US tech companies.
"Based on the Snowden leaks, these companies believe they've already been badly burned by the government, and have very little to gain by publicly backing the president's proposals," Ben Desjardins, director of security solutions at cybersecurity firm Radware told the Associated Press.
Analysis, Richard Taylor, North America technology correspondent
President Obama is bringing a message of inclusive collaboration to beat cyber threats, and a co-ordinated federal approach, superseding the patchwork of state laws, might seem sensible.
But the absence of Silicon Valley's most senior figures hints at a deep division between it and Washington. They are uneasy about allying strongly with an administration tarnished by Edward Snowden's revelations the NSA has spied extensively on their customers.
More than 18 months on, the tech goliaths are still struggling to rebuild users' trust and they are as keen to protect themselves from prying official eyes as they are from external malevolent hackers.
Mr Obama' own intelligence officials now say cybercrime poses a more pressing threat to national security than terrorism.
But the ongoing tension and mistrust between the security and tech communities does not auger well.
According to Bloomberg, Mark Zuckerberg and Marissa Mayer - chief executives of Facebook and Yahoo, respectively - and Google's Larry Page and Eric Schmidt all declined invitations.
Facebook, Yahoo, Google and Microsoft have all sent less senior executives to the conference.
Obama's cybersecurity push follows similar efforts by British Prime Minister David Cameron, who said in January that forms of communication that are resistant to surveillance measures should not be allowed.
His comments were interpreted as a direct attack on encrypted communications, such as Apple's FaceTime and Microsoft's Skype, among others.
The conference also took place in the aftermath of the hacking scandal that hit Sony Pictures and which the US authorities blamed on North Korea.
America and China have also taken more aggressive stances towards each other over cybersecurity recently, with the US charging a series of Chinese people with hacking last year.
The French authorities beefed up their security efforts after claiming to have detected attempts to launch cyber-attacks in the aftermath of the Paris terror attacks.

Hong Kong's Hang Seng was also higher, ending up 0.5% to 24,619.45 points.
In Japan, retail sales came in 0.9 % higher for June compared with the previous year, almost double forecasts.
But the Nikkei 225 failed to pick up on the positive cues and closed flat at 20,302.91 points.
Investor sentiment was pulled down by poor earnings reports, with both Fanuc and Tokyo Electron cutting their full-year forecasts. Shares in both companies fell 10% in early trade.
In Australia, the ASX/200 was boosted by both Wall Street and the encouraging signs from China. The index finished up by 0.7% to 5,624.20 points.
In South Korea, the benchmark Kospi index closed flat at 2,037.86.
Investors across the region were also looking ahead to the US Federal Reserve, which finishes its regular two-day meeting later on Wednesday.
There are hopes that the Fed might give some signals about the timing of an interest rate raise later in the year.
The PM said he had "turned the economy around" while the Labour leader said he was "tough enough" to be PM.
Jeremy Paxman began the Channel 4/Sky programme by grilling Mr Cameron about food banks and zero hours contracts.
Mr Miliband said his relationship with brother David was "healing" after their bruising leadership battle.
At the end of Mr Miliband's interview, host Paxman was caught on microphone: "Are you OK, Ed?"
The programme was not a direct debate between the two leaders. Rather, each man faced a separate interview with Channel 4's Paxman and also answered questions from a studio audience, moderated by Sky's Kay Burley.
Both parties claimed afterwards that their man did best, but an early ICM opinion poll for the Guardian suggested Mr Cameron shaded it, with 54% of of the 1,123 viewers surveyed saying they thought the PM "won".
The debate also proved popular on social media, with the #BattleForNumber10 reaching the top of Twitter's trending list in both the UK and worldwide.
By James Lansdale, BBC deputy political editor
It was not a head-to-head debate. But it was a back-to-back job interview and a good one at that.
It gave voters the chance to see the two men who could be our prime minister tested, above all, by Jeremy Paxman's robust questioning.
And both men were revealed to be vulnerable over their records in office and their promises for the future.
David Cameron was forced to admit to his missed targets on immigration and the deficit.
And Ed Miliband was forced into the defensive over Labour's past record on the economy and immigration.
Others will judge who won and lost. The polls said Mr Cameron edged it.
The watching political classes thought Mr Miliband put in a good performance, one that exceeded expectations.

Mr Cameron said he wanted an economy "that does not just look good on the page", and said he could not live on an exclusive zero hours contract, of the kind the coalition government has banned.
He also said:
Asked by an audience member how severe future spending cuts would be, Mr Cameron said they would be "manageable and doable", but that "efficiencies" would be needed.
Mr Miliband, when asked by Paxman whether he was tough enough to be prime minister, responded "hell yes", before adding: "Let them underestimate me".
He said he was "not going to get into a bargaining game" with the SNP's Alex Salmond and that public spending was "likely" to fall under Labour.
During the audience question-and-answer session, he said he believed wealth creation was "incredibly important".
Mr Miliband, who is set to officially launch Labour's campaign with a speech at London's Olympic Park on Friday, also said Labour had been "wrong" in the way it regulated the banks.
He said he did not care when Paxman said he was seen as a "North London geek" and added: "I don't care what the newspapers write about me, because what I care about is what happens to the British people, and I know that this country could be so much better."
Meanwhile in the "spin room" alongside the studio, party heavyweights and journalists watched the action before giving their version of events.
Former Conservative leader William Hague said Mr Cameron had "got the economic message across from beginning to end and that is the central message in this election."
But Labour's general election co-ordinator Douglas Alexander said the performances of the two leaders "explains why David Cameron has been so keen to avoid a head-to-head" debate.
UKIP leader Nigel Farage, who also attended the event, thought Mr Miliband had shaded it, saying: "Taking policy out of it, on personality, for me, Miliband was ahead."
Education Secretary Nicky Morgan said Ed Miliband had not been clear about his policies on the economy.
But Labour's Jim Murphy reacted with criticism over David Cameron's performance, saying the prime minister "genuinely didn't tell us why we should vote for him the next time round".
The programme - Cameron and Miliband Live: The Battle for Number 10 - was the first of a series of television events agreed by the broadcasters and political parties following protracted negotiations.
Mr Cameron, Mr Miliband and Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg will also feature separately in a BBC Question Time special on 30 April, just a week before the nation goes to the polls.
The Kenneth Branagh Theatre Company will take up residency at London's Garrick Theatre for a year in October.
The Cinderella director said he wanted "to have a creative home where you could do a programme of work, rather than just one-offs".
The season will begin with The Winter's Tale, starring Branagh and Dame Judi.
In May 2016, James will star opposite her Cinderella co-star Richard Madden - best known for his role as Robb Stark in Game of Thrones - in Romeo and Juliet, directed by Sir Kenneth.
Other highlights include Harlequinade, a little-known Terence Rattigan play about a theatre company performing The Winter's Tale and Romeo and Juliet, and the behind-the-scenes dramas that ensue.
In black comedy, The Painkiller, Sir Kenneth and Rob Brydon will reprise the roles they played to acclaim at Belfast's Lyric Theatre.
And late in 2016, Sir Kenneth will take on the lead role in John Osborne's The Entertainer, a role made famous by Sir Laurence Olivier.
'Epic quality'
It is not the first time the actor-director has mirrored Sir Laurence.
Early in his career, in 1989, his performance of the lead role in Henry V drew comparison with the revered star. The film was produced by Branagh's earlier theatre company, the Renaissance Theatre Company, which he ran between 1988 and 1992.
The new company brings together many of Sir Kenneth's former collaborators, including US director Rob Ashford, who worked with him on the recent production of Macbeth at the Manchester International Festival, and composer Patrick Doyle.
"I wanted to have a place and a space, and a building, in which to create a season of work," Sir Kenneth told the BBC's arts editor, Will Gompertz.
But unlike Kevin Spacey, Sir Kenneth said did not want to take on the long-term role of artistic director, stressing that - with his parallel work in film and TV - he wanted to avoid "getting tied in or tied up for a very long period of time in a single place".
"I am here because the idea of a theatrical home is very appealing to me," he told the BBC, adding that it was something "his creative heart has been searching for for some time".
The Winter's Tale will open on 17 October 2015 until 16 January 2016.
Mongo, aged 22, had suffered alopecia and was undergoing a routine health check at Twycross Zoo, but failed to come round from the anaesthetic.
The film of the "fight" was viewed more than a million times online, fuelled in part by Mongo's appearance.
Twycross Zoo said it was "displaying" rather than fighting and was perfectly normal behaviour for chimpanzees.
In a statement, Twycross Zoo said his death was unexpected.
"Mongo was undergoing a routine health check to investigate his enlarged air sac," said the statement.
"Although Mongo showed no other outward signs of ill health, the health check revealed that he had an infection and regrettably, he failed to recover from the anaesthetic."
Despite being hairless - inherited from his equally smooth father Jambo - Mongo was a hit in his group.
Early in life he had to work hard to be accepted but was recently an integral part of the strict hierarchy, headed by his father.
He was also popular with the ladies, particularly Noddy, who was usually close by.
A spokeswoman said: "A good natured and playful chimp, Mongo was often seen interacting with others - Tuli being a favourite playmate - and was just as popular with the keepers and other staff here at Twycross."
Hundreds took to the zoo's Facebook page to offer their condolences.
Marie Cross wrote: "Aw no so very sorry to hear this , RIP Mongo love and thoughts to his carers we will miss you lad x"
Staff at the zoo will carry out a full post-mortem examination after early checks revealed he also had some signs of heart disease.
Twycross Zoo recently started a study into heart disease in great apes.
His plane touched down in Panama City on Sunday evening after flying from Paris via Madrid.
He was convicted in absentia of crimes committed during his time in power in the 1980s.
The 77-year-old has already spent more than 20 years in prisons in France and the United States.
Last month, a French court approved a request from Panama to send him back home to be jailed over his convictions for murder, corruption and embezzlement.
He had the right to appeal, but his lawyers said he wanted to return to Panama.
Foreign Minister Roberto Henriquez has said the government's priority is to guarantee Noriega's safety.
Noriega travelled with a team of Panamanian officials, including the country's attorney-general and a doctor. After his arrival, he was escorted to El Renacer jail, south east of Panama City.
Although he was never president, General Manuel Noriega served as Panama's de facto leader between 1983 to 1989.
Once a US ally, he was arrested by invading American troops in January 1990, amid allegations he had turned the Central American nation into a drug-trafficking hub.
He spent 20 years in prison in the US after being convicted there of the charges.
In 2010, he was extradited from the US to France, where he had been convicted in absentia of laundering money from Colombian drug gangs through a French bank to buy property in Paris.
He received a seven-year jail sentence from the French court.
In Panama itself, he faces three 20-year jail terms for crimes committed during his rule, including the murders of political opponents.
However, it remains unclear whether he will remain in prison, as Panama allows people aged 70 years and above to serve their sentences at home.
Saints are currently fourth in the table, one place below their rivals, who are also two points better off.
"The Good Friday derby game, it's even bigger than the other derby games we play this season," Wilkin told BBC Radio Merseyside.
"This game is head and shoulders the biggest league game of the year."
Saints suffered their second loss of the season in their last game when they were defeated by Leeds Rhinos.
"Wigan this week is a huge challenge for us. They're a fantastic, well disciplined side. We have to be exceptional this week and a far sight better then we were against Leeds," Wilkin added.
"For the guys who haven't played in this game before, it's something we have been telling them about since pre-season,
"Forget about the league, forget about the Challenge Cup, forget about anything else, this game in isolation is as important to both sets of fans as any other."
He added: "We are going into this game to be physical and to be strong. Effort, intensity, aggression, those are the easiest bits to get right.
"Since I have started playing with St Helens, the Good Friday derby game has been the one of the most memorable days of my career."
St Patrick's College in Maynooth is not the right place for men to study to become priests, Diarmuid Martin said.
He is "unhappy about an atmosphere that was growing" in the seminary.
He added that he would prefer to send priests from his Dublin diocese to Italy to study at Rome's Irish College.
Allegations have been made on anonymously, on blogs and in letters, of sexual activity, the use of the gay dating app Grindr and other misconduct at the County Kildare college.
Claims were also made that authorities at the seminary were dismissing anyone who tried to make an allegation.
Speaking to the Irish national broadcaster RTÉ, Dr Martin said the "culture of anonymous letters" was "poisonous".
"Until that is cleared up I would be happier sending my students elsewhere," he said.
Dr Martin said he had offered to provide an independent person for whistleblowers to approach with their concerns.
"The answer to that was simply more anonymous letters - that's not a healthy culture," he added.
"The authorities at Maynooth have to find ways in which people will come forward with solid, hard evidence which can be used to follow up allegations."
Monsignor Hugh Connolly, the president of St Patrick's College, told RTÉ there was a "wholesome and healthy" atmosphere at the institution.
But he acknowledged that anonymous correspondence had been "difficult".
He said: "A seminarian needs to know he is preparing for a lifetime of celibacy - that's non-negotiable."
He said that while there had been anonymous letters and blogs, there was no "concrete detail" and the college had not received any complaints about sexual misconduct.
He added that the college had an independent panel to investigate any complaints which were made.
Dr Martin said he felt Maynooth was not the ideal environment for his students.
"Maynooth is a seminary that was built for 500 students - it now has 60 [to] 70," he said.
"I think a lot more structural reform will be needed at Maynooth.
"We probably need a different way in the long-term.
"I would prefer to have my seminarians living in the reality of Dublin life.
"The formation, I believe, would be better outside the closed, strange world of seminaries."
Agbeze, who plays for Adelaide Thunderbirds in Australia, is one of 10 overseas players included in the squad.

The high veld and coastal landscapes of South Africa were the venues for the emergence of this rugby superstar whose exploits persuaded media baron Rupert Murdoch that he must galvanise the sport into a fully professional code.
Get me that man, Murdoch told his henchmen, no excuses, no maybes. Sign Jonah and we have the jewel we need to lead this rugby revolution.
A year before, on test debut as the youngest in All Black history, Lomu was uncertain in two tests against France, but that was gone in Johannesburg through Bloemfontein to Pretoria then Cape Town.
His transformation was remarkable. The gauche teenager was replaced by a thundering keg of explosive venom on the All Blacks left wing.
In a rugby land which lauded size and power, Lomu came with super-sized quantities of both, topped with deft ball-handling skills, superb balance and a sense of timing which astounded his opponents and those of us fortunate to cover that extraordinary tournament.
When All Black coach Laurie Mains picked Lomu in 1994, the shy wing never quite got to grips with his job description.
But after a punishing fitness schedule and massive encouragement from people like Eric Rush to stick with rugby and fend away offers from rival codes, Lomu was picked for the World Cup.
We wondered about his influence but did not have to wait long as Lomu smashed into his work with two tries in the opening test with Ireland.
His impact spread quickly, but only a few knew he was playing with the debilitating effects of kidney nephritis.
"I went to the World Cup in '95 knowing I was sick," Lomu later revealed.
While the All Blacks were feted in their usual way at Johannesburg Airport at the start of the tournament, there was no special crowd focus on Lomu.
He was a strapping young wing with two mediocre tests on his CV while Sean Fitzpatrick, Richard Loe and Zinzan Brooke were the team legends.
They lost that status very quickly while Lomu was assigned his personal bodyguard as his presence at any shopping centre or tourist haunt was a magnet for frenzied hordes.
In a few weeks Lomu turned his potential into pure destruction, and the mixed-race, known as coloured, and black populations in South Africa had a new superhero they could barrack for, and taunt those who had restricted much of their lives.
When Lomu returned home that interest rose even more - he was rugby's first superstar.
His time was not his own. He had his public and private troubles, but he was growing up in the nation's spotlight.
Watching him play rugby was a special occasion. He was phenomenal for the Auckland Blues, and many times in Australia, like in late 1995, he made a mess of their very strong defence.
He ran through, around or over those who lost their tackling technique, and then in 2000 he tiptoed down the sideline for a last-minute try to win a test in Sydney.
That was 15 years ago, when his kidney problems were causing him a lot more issues before he finished his 63rd and final test against Wales in Cardiff in 2002.
Lomu had his kidney transplant, but that was failing him as he struggled through the opening ceremony at the 2011 World Cup.
He regrouped and, with his wife Nadene and two young boys, was an ambassador at this year's event. Before he left, he toured the country in speaking engagements with Brian Lochore, Graham Henry and Stephen Donald.
He looked well and was chirpy. He was managing the multiple weekly visits for kidney dialysis and that was sorted for his lengthy trip to the World Cup.
He, like thousands of Kiwi travellers, was confident the All Blacks would return as winners.
They were - and so was Lomu, whose untimely death today at 40 will be an enduring shock for the sport and his global friends.
Yachtsman Paul Goslin's daughter Claire called on rescuers not to give up.
Contact with the 40ft Cheeki Rafiki yacht was lost on Friday after it got into difficulties 620 miles (1,000km) east of Cape Cod in Massachusetts.
The search for Mr Goslin and three other men was called off in the early hours of Sunday morning local time.
Miss Goslin, a second-year nursing student at Plymouth University, thanked the coastguard for their "fantastic" work so far.
"But I know what dad's like," she added. "He will be doing anything in his power to make sure he and his fellow three crew mates are safe.
"Don't give up, they need your help."
She said she had been told by the yacht's owners Stormforce Coaching the life raft was designed for 12 people so would have had plenty of space and provisions for her father and the three other men.
The four crew members are Mr Goslin, 56, from West Camel, Somerset; Andrew Bridge, 22, from Farnham, Surrey, the yacht's skipper; Steve Warren, 52, also from Somerset, and 23-year-old James Male, from Southampton.
The men were sailing back from a regatta in Antigua when the boat began taking on water and diverted to the Azores.
Their families believe they escaped into an on-board life raft.
The coastguard said locator beacons activated by the crew indicated they were in a position 1,000 miles east of Massachusetts on Friday morning.
"Those beacons don't work if they're wet so we've got reasons to believe they're in the life raft because they're dry and they're together," Miss Goslin added.
Mr Male's father told ITV Meridian: "They waited until the first beacon had run out before they actually set the second beacon - that's rational-thinking people."
A spokeswoman for the coastguard said on Monday morning that unless there were "new developments about the case" the search would not be resumed.
The mother of skipper Andrew Bridge, Mary Bridge, said: "I'm a bit numb actually. We wanted him back.
"We know they've worked hard for two days but my husband and I and my other son and the other families all wish them to resume the search for these four men."
Mr Goslin's wife Cressida said the search should be resumed for a couple of days, adding: "We just feel that they're not being given a chance.
"If we don't try to rescue them we're just going to leave them to starve to death."
The RYA said typical supplies on a life raft would include survival suits, water, food, flares and a first aid kit.
Three US and Canadian aircraft and three merchant vessels looked for the men on Friday and Saturday but called off the search on Sunday at 5am local time.
The yacht was facing 15ft waves, 50mph winds and sea and air temperatures of 15C (60F), the US Coastguard said.
The rescuers say they consider "weather conditions, emergency equipment, and the anticipated condition of the people for whom we are searching".
Calling off the hunt on Sunday, Capt Anthony Popiel said: "Based on the extreme conditions at sea, but assuming best-case emergency equipment, the estimated survival time past the time of distress was approximately 20 hours. Crews searched for 53 hours."
On Saturday, a cargo vessel which was helping with the search spotted and photographed an overturned hull which matched the description of the Cheeki Rafiki.
But Petty Officer Rob Simpson, from the US Coastguard, said the ship had "lacked the manoeuvrability, capacity and ability to help".
"It has a fairly limited possibility of picking anything up," he added.
"It is not designed for search and rescue capabilities or anything like that or trained to do anything like that."
Meanwhile the yachtsman and four-time Olympic gold medallist Sir Ben Ainslie joined calls for the US coastguard to continue the search, while an online petition has gathered more than 37,000 signatures.
Television presenter Ben Fogle also added his support, adding: "We've heard too many stories over the years of shipwrecked sailors found in tiny rafts.
"If they don't have a beacon that's emitting, that doesn't mean they've perished."
The 12-person life raft they are believed to have had on board would typically be 1.66m high and 3.3m across.
Alistair Hackett from suppliers Ocean Safety said it would have likely had one litre of water per person on board, as well as survival equipment like flares and thermal protective suits.
Kay Coombes, sister of missing Mr Warren, said: "They are four strong-minded, physically strong sailors, they knew they were in difficulties and had every opportunity to get into the life raft which would have had provisions for several days.
"But if no-one is looking for them, they won't be found."
Sir Robin Knox-Johnston, the first man to sail single-handedly around the world, said: "Knowing the US Coastguard, I do feel one's got to listen to them.
A typical 12-person life raft, similar to that believed to have been on board Cheeki Rafiki, would have been equipped to the international standard ISO 9650, says Alistair Hackett from suppliers Ocean Safety.
That standard specifies everything from the type of fabric and glue used to make the raft to the emergency contents it must have on board.
The raft and its emergency pack would have included one litre of water per person, Mr Hackett says, as well as flares, thermal protective aids, paddles, pumps and a 30m line to tow a drogue to steady the craft.
"They know more about this than anyone else."
But he added: "Isn't it just worth just one more check, just to make sure?"
However oceanographer Simon Boxall from University of Southampton said: "It is highly unlikely, beyond reasonable doubt, that they would have missed a life raft; they are bright red or bright orange.
"And if the people were in a life raft and were aware there were rescue aircraft they would have had distress flares and beacons on board and they would have deployed them."
The coastguard has said it extends its "deepest condolences to the family and friends" of the men.
A spokeswoman for the Foreign Office said it was aware of the missing yacht: "We are in continual contact with the US Coastguard and are providing consular assistance to the families."
With major differences remaining, it appears likely the talks will be extended until the summer of next year, diplomatic sources in Vienna say.
Iran and the six powers it is negotiating with had set themselves a deadline of 23:00 GMT to reach a deal.
Tehran says it is not seeking nuclear weapons, but wants atomic energy.
The US, UK, Russia, China and France, plus Germany, are trying with Iran to finalise a preliminary deal reached last year in Geneva.
High-level meetings continued on Monday morning between Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif, US Secretary of State John Kerry and the other five nations' foreign ministers.
Over the past few months the talks have reduced fears of a new Middle Eastern war and the ministers will be reluctant to leave Vienna without a way forward, the BBC's Bethany Bell reports from Vienna.
Diplomatic sources said the talks would be extended until 1 July.
The nuclear crisis has become part of everyday life in Tehran but with still no outcome in Vienna, ordinary people are not talking about it that much. Iranians have been listening to the same repetitive news story for the past seven days and they simply do not want to discuss it until something actually happens.
"I am fed up with these boring stories saying the same thing 24 hours a day - either do something or give up," said a middle-aged man sitting in a taxi as soon as the morning news bulletin began on the radio.
Last night's football derby in Tehran was a good opportunity for people and journalists to talk about something else. In fact, the death of a young pop star from cancer last week is still being discussed more than what may or may not be happening in the Austrian capital.
The proposed agreement hinges on the rate at which the sanctions against Iran would be lifted if Tehran agreed to highly specific limits on the amount of uranium it could enrich.
Highly enriched uranium can be used to make a nuclear bomb, but uranium enriched to lower levels can be used for energy purposes.
Under the terms of international treaties, countries have the right to develop nuclear energy, which Iran insists is its only aim.
Analysis: Jeremy Bowen, BBC Middle East editor, Vienna
Success would do much to lift Iran's isolation - which would change the strategic balance in the Middle East. That intrigues some Western diplomats. It horrifies Saudi Arabia and Israel.
A year ago in Geneva all sides in the talks saw an opportunity to deal with an issue that could potentially cause another catastrophic war. That will make them very reluctant to leave Vienna empty-handed - even if that means they will have to do more work on the details next year.
Time is limited though. Hardliners in Tehran and Washington DC will try to sabotage any agreement. Both see no reason to dilute their mutual suspicion.
Under an agreement reached in Geneva last year, Iran was to curb some of its uranium enrichment in return for sanctions relief.
However, the two sides failed to reach a lasting deal by July, as initially agreed, and extended the deadline until 24 November.
Some of the major obstacles to the deal include:
US President Barack Obama acknowledged on Sunday that "significant" gaps between the two sides remained, and that President Hassan Rouhani had "to deal with his politics at home".
"He's not the ultimate decider inside of Iran, the Supreme Leader [Ayatollah Ali Khamenei] is," Mr Obama told US broadcaster ABC.
Both Saudi Arabia and Israel are also vehemently opposed to Iran acquiring nuclear weapons and Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal visited Vienna at the weekend, though his country is not formally involved in the talks.
He and Mr Kerry talked in his plane parked at Vienna Airport on Sunday, diplomats told AP news agency.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whose country has not ruled out bombing Iran's nuclear facilities, welcomed reports that the talks were likely to be adjourned.
"No deal is better than a bad deal," he told BBC News. "The deal that Iran was pushing for was terrible. The deal would have left Iran with the ability to enrich uranium for an atom bomb while removing the sanctions."
Papers across the political spectrum display a mixture of hope and defiance. The two sides have reached the "point of no return", says the reformist Sharq, and agreement will be reached "if the other side abstains from raising its expectations", thinks Arabic-language Al-Vefagh.
The conservative Khorasan says that, even if the talks fall through, Iran's economy will take only a minor hit, as it will be able to adapt with the help of Russia and China. The reformist Etemaad is certain that world opinion will blame any failure on the West, as Iran has been "serious about reaching an agreement". The moderate paper Iran says failure is "unimaginable", as the consequences would be serious for the US.
But the conservative Resalat says that a deadline extension would mean negotiators can "continue this game for longer", and that, whatever the outcome, it will only lead to "even louder shouts of Death to America and Death to Israel".
Rovers, chasing a play-off spot, will see this as a chance lost.
But they found the home side in fighting spirit and capable of producing some good football on a greasy surface.
In fact, it could have been worse for the Kirkcaldy side as Robert Thomson missed some chance in the first half.
A long kick out from his goalie, Alan Martin, was miss-timed by Jean-Yves M'Voto, the Rovers centre half, and Thomson was clean through one-on-one with the goalkeeper.
But somehow, having all but rounded him, he allowed Kevin Cuthbert to get a flailing hand on the ball to touch it round the post.
Ryan Stevenson was the pick of a gathering of former Hearts players on view alongside his Sons' team-mate, Darren Barr, and opponents Kevin McHattie and Rudi Skacel - to say nothing of Rovers manager Gary Locke.
He controlled things with great style in the middle of the park and engineered a performance that brought the point - and a series of second-half opportunities none of which his team-mates could convert.
Dumbarton were, however, actually worth more than the draw.
Dumbarton manager Steven Aitken: "We were the better team and we should have won it.
"At the start of the season, we were written off as the whipping boys and that was hurtful.
"But we have good players here. Ryan Stevenson showed why we worked so hard to get him."
Raith Rovers manager Gary Locke: "I thought a draw was a fair result. Both teams had chances and Dumbarton will be hard to beat for most teams here.
"The quality of the football was good on a difficult surface."

With those words, Donald Trump became only the second president to fire his FBI director.
But why was he dismissed?
This was the first official reason. The president opened his missive to Mr Comey by citing a damning letter from Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein that accused the now-former FBI director of "serious mistakes".
Among other things, it said Mr Comey had "usurped" the authority of the former attorney general by announcing last July the closure of the inquiry into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server.
The letter faulted him for "gratuitously" releasing "derogatory information" about the subject of an investigation - Mrs Clinton.
It even criticised his public reopening of the inquiry 11 days before the election, a step which some say contributed to Mr Trump's shock victory over Mrs Clinton.
At the time Mr Trump had praised Mr Comey's unusual move, saying it "took guts".
This was President Trump's first in-person explanation, given from the Oval Office in an interview with NBC News.
He said he had already decided to fire Mr Comey, "regardless of recommendation" as the FBI had been "in turmoil".
This appeared to contradict White House claims that Mr Trump acted on the deputy attorney general's recommendation.
Mr Trump tweeted that Mr Comey had "lost the confidence of almost everyone in Washington".
But Mr Comey's successor, acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe, told the Senate "the vast majority of employees enjoyed a deep and positive connection to Director Comey".
Democrats assert that Mr Comey's role leading the FBI investigation into alleged Russian meddling in the election - and possible Kremlin links to the Trump campaign - was the real reason for his abrupt dismissal.
Mr Comey confirmed that such an investigation existed on 20 March, when he spoke before a congressional intelligence committee.
After his dismissal, Politico reported the president "had grown enraged by the Russia investigation" and was "frustrated by his inability to control the mushrooming narrative".
"He repeatedly asked aides why the Russia investigation wouldn't disappear and demanded they speak out for him," Politico reported. "He would sometimes scream at television clips about the probe, one adviser said."
Russia: The scandal Trump can't shake
"He's become more famous than me!" Mr Trump said of Mr Comey at a January meeting, sending an air-kiss his way.
But could this have been a problem, rather than a compliment?
In his NBC interview, the US president described Mr Comey as a "showboat" and "grandstander".
Citing unnamed White House officials, the Wall Street Journal reported that Mr Trump chafed at the increased media attention on Mr Comey.
"He viewed Mr Comey as eager to step in front of TV cameras and questioned whether his expanding media profile was warping his view of the Russia investigation," the officials said, according to the report.
Loyalty is one Mr Trump's most prized qualities - and according to the New York Times, two of Mr Comey's associates say he declined to pledge it.
Over dinner in January, the president asked the FBI head whether he could count on his loyalty, but Mr Comey only promised to be honest, according to the newspaper.
Mr Trump is also reported to have been furious that Mr Comey publicly dismissed his sensational claim in March that President Barack Obama had wiretapped him.
After Mr Comey testified to a Senate panel on 3 May that he felt "mildly nauseous" to think he might have swayed the election, Mr Trump began seriously considering firing him, the New York Times reports.
Is Trump's thin skin to blame?
The 35-year-old midfielder made 234 league appearances for the Mariners and helped them back into the Football League last season.
Josh Gowling, 33, Dan Jones, 22, Ashley Chambers, 27, and Gavin Gunning, 26, have also been released.
However, the League Two side have offered new deals to defenders Shaun Pearson, 28, Ben Davies, 35, and Danny Andrew, 26.
The club also say they "hope to engage" fellow defender Danny Collins, 36, for the 2017-18 season.
Damage could reach C$41bn ($20bn; £27bn), estimates say, depending on global emissions, the economy and population growth.
Higher temperatures could kill forests, flood low-lying coastal areas and spread disease, the report said.
The panel denied that Canada would gain from global warming.
"Climate change presents a growing, long-term economic burden for Canada," said Canada's National Round Table on the Environment and the Economy (NRTEE).
In a 162-page report, measures proposed included enhanced forest fire protection, pest control and an effort to foster the growth of climate-resilient trees.
The panel also recommended limiting construction in in low-lying coastal areas vulnerable to flooding, and developing technologies to limit pollution and slow ozone accumulation.
It said climate-related costs to Canada could increase from C$5bn in 2020 to between C$21bn and C$43bn by 2050.
These figures depended on co-ordinated global action to limit warming to 2C by 2050, the report said.
The findings of the panel were seized on by opposition politicians who believe the Conservative government should be doing more to confront the threat of global warming.
"Our coastal communities, our forestry industry, and the health of Canadians will all suffer unless we take action right now," said Laurin Liu, of the New Democrats, Canada's main opposition party.
"This out-of-touch government has produced no plan to deal with the impact of climate change," he added.
But Environment Minister Peter Kent said Canada needs "a strong, stable, environmentally responsible ... government to take care of the environment, and that is exactly what we are doing".
The report also said Canada had much to gain from an international, Kyoto-style treaty focussing on cutting carbon emissions beyond 2012.
Experiments in mice showed that levels of adenosine - a natural painkiller - increased in tissues near acupuncture sites.
The Nature Neuroscience study also found that in mice resistant to the effects of adenosine, acupuncture had no effect.
Pain experts said the findings may partly explain how the treatment works.
Adenosine is known to have many roles in the body including regulating sleep and reducing inflammation, the researchers said.
Other research has shown that it becomes active in the skin after an injury to act as a local painkiller.
In the latest study, the researchers were looking at the effects of the molecule in the deeper tissues which acupuncturists target with fine needles.
The team performed a 30-minute acupuncture session at a pressure point in the knee of mice that had discomfort in one paw.
They found that in mice with normal functioning levels of adenosine, acupuncture reduced soreness by two-thirds, as assessed by nerve sensitivity measurements.
In mice specially engineered to lack the receptor for adenosine, acupuncture had no effect.
And during and immediately after an acupuncture treatment, the level of adenosine in the tissues near the needles was 24 times greater than before the treatment, the researchers said.
Then using a drug which extends the effects of adenosine, they found that the benefits of acupuncture lasted three times as long.
Study leader Dr Maiken Nedergaard, a neuroscientist at the University of Rochester Medical Center, said: "Acupuncture has been a mainstay of medical treatment in certain parts of the world for 4,000 years, but because it has not been understood completely, many people have remained skeptical.
"In this work, we provide information about one physical mechanism through which acupuncture reduces pain in the body," she added.
Acupuncture is used for a wide range of treatments but on the NHS its use is limited to lower back pain.
Experts pointed out that acupuncture may mediate its effects in a number of different ways.
A spokesman from the British Pain Society said: "We have known for a long time that acupuncture alters the response to pain by modulation of some of the pain pathways in the spinal cord, and also by the release of endorphins.
"It is very interesting that scientists have found an alteration in the tissue levels of adenosine, which helps to explain some of the modulatory effects of acupuncture on pain perception."
Professor Edzard Ernst, professor of complementary medicine at Peninsula Medical School agreed the study might go some way towards explaining how acupuncture reduces pain.
"We need, I would argue, independent replications with more rigorous controls before we can fully accept its findings.
"The curious thing with acupuncture is that we seem to understand better and better how it might work and, at the same time, we have more and more reason to doubt that it works."
Vehicles are being routed down Flatgate in Howden following the closure of the A614 last week when a sink hole opened up near a railway bridge.
Resident Hannah Pears recorded footage of videos driving on the pavement close to the front of her house.
East Riding of Yorkshire Council said it was trying to alleviate the problem.

Ms Pears said she was "terrified" about the safety of her two-year-old son.
"My house is situated directly onto the footpath, I don't have a garden or a driveway," she said.
"Some days I can't get out of my house safely and I have to wait to be able to leave it until the traffic has subsided."
Eddie Holt, owner of a local haulage firm, claimed the diversion had not been properly considered causing large lorries to "try and squeeze through".
"There's no weight restrictions, no width restrictions, they are sending everything down the narrow streets," he said.
He added: "I can imagine some of the younger people pushing prams out the front door, pushchairs with kids in, it's quite horrific what could be coming."
In a statement, East Riding council said: "Following the emergency situation that has arisen on the A614 at Howden, a diversionary route including use of the M62 and other major roads in the area is being progressed as quickly as possible , but this is dependent on Highways England and Network Rail.
"We as a council are working hard to support Network Rail to alleviate the situation for residents of Howden and motorists in the area."
Network Rail said a collapsed water tunnel had led to the sink hole which caused the closure of the A614.
The company said it was working to repair the road and it expected it "will be fully rebuilt in around five weeks."
Security forces fired warning shots and the driver, who is underage, was detained, a government statement said.
Mr Temer was not in the Alvorada Palace at the time.
Brazilian media have shown footage of a gate lying on the ground along with what appear to be a number of spent bullet cartridges.
Earlier, a Supreme Court judge sent a charge of corruption against President Temer to Congress - the next move in a process which could see him removed from office and face trial.
Mr Temer has been indicted for arranging to receive millions of dollars in bribes from a meat-processing company.
He has denied any wrongdoing.
The lower house of Congress is expected to vote in the coming weeks on whether to allow him to be tried.
Mr Temer, one-third of his cabinet, four past presidents, and dozens of politicians are either on trial, facing charges or under investigation in a giant three-year corruption inquiry linked to the state oil company.
Since taking office, he has led a market-friendly government which has tried to implement unpopular labour and pension reforms that, he says, are vital for Brazil's economic recovery.
His predecessor as president, leftist Dilma Rousseff, was removed from office following an impeachment vote in the Senate last year. She was accused of illegally manipulating the budget, a charge she strongly denied.
To find out, the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme has organised a series of election blind dates for the general election campaign.
Labour politician Jess Phillips describes herself as a feminist with a "big gob", while former government minister John Whittingdale is a "Thatcherite Conservative".
They went into the meal without knowing who they would be meeting.
But did they get on?
Describe yourself: I am Jess Phillips and I was the Labour Member of Parliament for Birmingham Yardley - and now I'm the candidate in the election. I think people probably best know me as a women's rights, equality activist with a big gob. I'm a difficult woman with a dirty laugh.
Political background: My political ambition came about when I was working at Women's Aid, watching how government decisions - both poor and good decisions - changed the lives of some of the most vulnerable people. I got cross and thought I'd go and do this job now because the people who are doing it don't know what they are talking about.
Political views: I'm a left-winger at heart, but a pragmatic left-winger. I will do almost anything to improve the lives of the people I represent - I just want things to get better for those people - but naturally my heart beats on the left.
How was your date?: It was good, I enjoyed it - lots of interesting conversations. We didn't agree on lots of things, which makes for a much more interesting time.
What did you agree on?: We shared quite a lot of common ground over the pressures and issues faced by parliamentarians. We have a lot in common, we're both blazing the campaign trail at the moment. The stories are very similar.
What did you disagree on?: We disagreed on most areas of the different manifestos and policy issues around what needs money spending on it and what doesn't. He very much didn't want to be putting a burden on business and I don't want to be putting a burden on my constituents, so I suppose that was one of the biggest differences.
What did he convince you on?: I'm not convinced by much. Our consensus came from how we are feeling, the public reaction to this particular election, whether that's about just getting on with Brexit, and consensus around how Theresa May is appearing, and some of the policies she's trying to put out.
Best thing: It is always interesting to sit down with people who don't agree with you and have a bit of rough and tumble with them about your views. I think that actually he probably was more compelled by some of my own personal experiences of caring for my dying mother, of facing caring for my father as he gets more elderly, and also experiences I have with my own children.
Worst thing: It was really not that bad. I think that maybe we could have covered more ground on the Liberal Democrats. We definitely had some consensus there. I felt maybe we should revisit that and have a "John and Jess chat Liberal Democrats".
Three words to describe your date: Divided but friendly.
Marks out of 10: I'll give him a solid eight.
Watch the Victoria Derbyshire programme on weekdays between 09:00 and 11:00 BST on BBC Two and the BBC News Channel.
Monday's election blind date will be businesswoman Gina Miller and former UKIP MEP Godfrey Bloom.
Describe yourself: I'm John Whittingdale. At the moment I'm the parliamentary candidate for Maldon and I've been the MP there since 1992. I served in the cabinet for 15 months and before that I did 10 years as select committee chairman for culture, media and sport.
Political background: I decided I wanted to get some experience of politics at quite a young age, so I volunteered to go and work with the Conservative Party before going to university and I got hooked. I became a special adviser to Norman Tebbit, who was then secretary of state for trade and industry, and his two successors. Then I was asked to be political secretary to Margaret Thatcher.
Political views: I am, I suppose, what used to be called a Thatcherite Conservative. I believe very much in free markets, liberal economics, at the same time I believe very strongly in my country, the defence of the nation. I was a strong supporter of leaving the European Union.
How was your date?: It was good fun, I enjoy debating politics. Jess is stimulating company. She's lively, we had a good argument on one or two points and, as I would have expected, actually there were areas where we found we agreed with one another.
What did you agree on?: Obviously when we were talking about things like the pressures of being an MP, but also on some issues. She is realistic and acknowledged some of the challenges the country faces.
What did you disagree on?: I think when we got on to things like public services and whether or not we could afford things. Jess is fighting on a manifesto which promises everything to everybody without any real sign of how you could possibly afford that. I think in our manifesto we are confronting some of the challenges which have to be faced.
Most convincing argument: I think she's right to identify that people from her area need to understand, or we need to get the message across, about how we are helping them and how, when it comes to wanting to deliver better public services, actually you have to earn the money first. And the sense of disillusion among young people with the political system, I encounter it in my constituency in the same way she does.
Best thing: I do a lot of media interviews. She does, too, and this was certainly different and actually, it brought a different kind of atmosphere to it. It's nice to have an opportunity to have a longer discussion with somebody away from the ding-dong of politics, and actually find common ground to share some experiences.
Worst thing: Eating lunch itself is very difficult when you're being filmed. It's a challenge to not look stupid as you're eating. Neither of us ended up having very much.
Describe her in three words: Forthright, lively, fun.
Marks out of 10: Seven or eight. I mean I enjoyed it, I'd do it again.

Kidnappings for ransom occasionally occur in Nigeria's commercial capital, but this is the first time a school in the city has been attacked by gunmen.
The girls were taken from a private co-educational secondary school on Monday evening.
A BBC reporter in Lagos says the abductors have yet to issue demands.
In most kidnapping cases in southern Nigeria, hostages are released unharmed after a ransom has been paid, reports the BBC's Umar Shehu Elleman from Lagos.
It is nearly two years since more than 200 girls were kidnapped from a boarding school in the north-eastern town of Chibok by militant fighters behind the Islamist insurgency in that region.
Despite military advances against the Boko Haram group over the past year, the Chibok girls have yet to be found.
Lagos police spokesperson Dolapo Badmus told the BBC a search to rescue the girls taken from the Babington Macaulay Junior Seminary School was under way.
From local media reports it is not clear whether the girls were kidnapped from their dormitory or in a nearby block where they were studying.
Some witnesses reported that shots were fired, making it hard for the unarmed security guards to intervene.
Our reporter says the school, linked to the Anglican Church, is one of the best and most expensive in Lagos state and is mostly attended by children of politicians and wealthy individuals.
Some angry parents have reportedly withdrawn their children from the school until security is improved.
The party's leader in the assembly said he was unhappy with the policy because it "blanked out everything else" in UKIP's general election campaign.
He said it would now be part of a post-election "policy review".
Former leader Nigel Farage has warned UKIP against becoming "anti-Islam".
UKIP is about to embark on its third leadership election in a year after Paul Nuttall resigned following the party's disastrous general election result.
It won no seats and saw its share of the UK-wide vote fall from 12.5% to 1.8%.
Speaking at a news conference in Cardiff on Tuesday, Mr Hamilton said the party needed to be "anti-Islamic extremism", not "anti-Islam".
He said one potential leadership candidate - "Sharia Watch" pressure group founder Anne Marie Waters - had some "odd" views.
Ms Waters was blocked from standing for UKIP at the general election in June, with Mr Nuttall saying her views made him "uncomfortable".
Mr Hamilton said: "I personally was unhappy about the burka policy that emerged during the election campaign because it was the first policy pronouncement that was made in the campaign and it completely blanked out everything else.
"Actually this is a peripheral issue.
"I supported the party's policy, I defended it.
"It wasn't something which I personally would have given the prominence that it had as I don't believe it's the central issue.
"And I think it's a distraction from the real issue. It got in the way of what I think were more important issues.
"It is current policy of UKIP but after every general election there's a policy review."
Reflecting on UKIP's first year in the assembly, Mr Hamilton said he regretted Plaid Cymru's decision to support Carwyn Jones's re-election as first minister in May 2016 after initially putting forward its leader Leanne Wood for the role.
"Plaid Cymru offer no real opposition because they will always back the Labour government on things that really matter," he said.
"They should have blocked the reappointment of Carwyn Jones and a Labour government last year but they bottled out at the end of the day.
"What a change that would've brought to the culture of politics in Wales if, however unstable you might've thought a coalition of the Tories, Plaid Cymru and UKIP might have been, it would've been a decisive shift to take the power of patronage, in particular, away from the Welsh Government upon which they rely in order to maintain their hegemony."

Fabrice Muamba, then a Bolton Wanderers midfielder, collapsed while playing an FA cup tie in March 2012.
His heart was restarted with a defibrillator.
Muamba has joined London Ambulance Service (LAS) to get 1,000 of the machines into shops, businesses and gyms.
The campaign is being run with Marks and Spencer, which is fitting defibrillators in its 86 London stores.
LAS chairman, Richard Hunt, said: "If you have a cardiac arrest, your heart stops beating and you are clinically dead.
"Every second counts, which is why we want more defibrillators in public places to help us save more lives in London."
About 28% of people survive a cardiac arrest in a public place, but where there is a defibrillator and someone trained to use it the chance of survival can increase to 80%.

Muamba has been involved in a number of campaigns to get more defibrillators into public places since his collapse.
He said: "If it wasn't for a defibrillator I wouldn't be here today.
"I was lucky. I had my cardiac arrest in the right place with the best medics around to help me.
"I want everyone who goes into cardiac arrest to have the same chance as me and that's why I'm supporting the London Ambulance Service campaign to get more defibrillators in public places."

Water levels at the lough are at a 30-year-high after recent heavy rain, which caused damage to numerous businesses on its shores.
Brothers Steven and Glen Allen farm beef cattle on a 50 acre farm near Portadown. Thirty of those acres are now under water.
The pair said long-term action needs to be taken to address the problem.
They have hired pumps and are using sandbags to keep the water from the lough out of their cattle sheds.
They claimed a build up of silt, where the River Bann flows into Lough Neagh, is causing the river to back up and flood.
Elsewhere in County Armagh, the Rivers Agency is working to protect a Grade 2 listed thatched cottage outside Portadown.
Water started coming into Dan and Kate McQuillan's home around New Year's Eve. The couple said they will need help to save it.
Mr McQuillan said the house is suffering from multiple problems associated with the flood water.
"The electric keeps tripping, the septic tank's two feet under water, we can't use the toilet or the shower, wash dishes or clothes," he said.
"Kate keeps watch during the night to make sure the pump doesn't go off, because the minute it goes off, the place fills up with water.
"I make sure everything's okay during the day - checking the drainage and the wee trenches the boys have dug are clear."
He said he now fears the listed building could collapse.
A short distance away, a man, whose son returned from Australia at Christmas to marry and move in to a newly renovated cottage, says their home has been destroyed.
Adrian McKernan spent several years renovating the cottage, which has been badly affected by the flooding from Lough Neagh.
The Rivers Agency is pumping water away from the house and have built a sandbag barrier in an attempt to protect it.
Mr McKernan said the young couple's "dreams have been ruined".
An "urgent" ministerial meeting has been held to discuss the response to flooding across Northern Ireland.
The agriculture, regional development and environment ministers attended.
It comes after a range of flood-hit businesses on the shores of Lough Neagh questioned if enough was done to prevent rising waters brought on by winter storms.
The agriculture minister said the meeting would be a chance to "hold [government] agencies to account" over their actions in dealing with floods. | China's commerce minister says the outlook for the global economy remains grim despite it having overcome the impact of the 2008 financial crisis.

Charlie, now 15, disappeared in 2010 during a holiday with his Austrian owners in Aschbach, north Germany, reports say.
A passerby found him on a street in the same area in November. A vet traced his owners using his microchip.
Charlie was found overweight and with rotting teeth - but is now happily recovering with his family.
The Schachinger family found him as a puppy in a rubbish bin 15 years ago, according to Austrian media reports.
"Charlie recognised us," said the daughter of the family, who was not named. "He greeted us by licking us and kept going round us."
"This year, Charlie's return is our best Christmas present," the family said.
A Brazilian businessman paid $1.5m to the son of an influential International Olympic Committee (IOC) member just days before the host city was chosen, according to French newspaper Le Monde.
"The French justice suspects that this money may have been used to influence the votes," it says.
Rio 2016 organisers say the vote was "clean".
The Brazilian city won the right to host the Games by 66 votes to 32.
The IOC has confirmed an ethics commission is looking into the allegations and it is "working in co-operation with the [French] prosecutor".
Le Monde says investigators have established a holding company belonging to the businessman paid the money to a company set up by Papa Massata Diack, a French-Senegalese marketing consultant who is banned for life from athletics for alleged corruption, and who is also the subject of a 'red notice' issued by Interpol.
It was also alleged a payment was made to former Namibian sprinter, IOC member and IAAF Council member Frankie Fredericks.
"He informed the IOC and explained the situation and emphasised his innocence immediately upon being contacted by the journalist," added the IOC statement.
"Immediately after a link was made between this contractual payment and the vote for the host city, Mr Fredericks himself also turned to the IOC Ethics Commission, which is now following up on all the allegations in order to fully clarify this matter."
Fredericks won double Olympic silver medals over 100m and 200m in the 1992 and 1996 Games.
Papa Diack is the son of former IOC member and president of athletics' governing body Lamine Diack, who is being held in France on corruption charges.
The Brazilian businessman named by the newspaper subsequently won a number of construction contracts with the state of Rio related to building infrastructure for the Games.
French prosecutors announced last year they were widening their investigation into corruption in athletics to include the bidding and voting processes for the hosting of the 2016 and 2020 Olympics.
Mr Kenny said Mr Clinton "expressed his continued interest in wanting to assist the process in Northern Ireland", Irish broadcaster RTÉ reported.
Northern Ireland's political parties have been holding round-table talks.
It follows a row sparked by a police assessment that IRA members were involved in murdering a former IRA man.
In the wake of the killing of Kevin McGuigan Sr, police said the IRA still existed, but added that it was not engaged in terrorism.
Three Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) ministers subsequently resigned from Northern Ireland's ruling executive, and Peter Robinson, the party's leader, stepped aside as first minister.
Speaking after meeting Mr Clinton in New York, Mr Kenny said the former US president told him he was "interested in helping in any way" he could.
Mr Clinton has previously described working on the Northern Ireland peace process as one of the "great honours" of his life.
The Taoiseach said Mr Clinton had expressed concern at the "fragility and the difficulty that the talks have entered at the moment".
Mr Kenny said Mr Clinton remained available "in any event that assistance were to be required or appropriate".
Northern Ireland Secretary Theresa Villiers said on Thursday that this week's talks had been "useful and intensive".
Ms Villiers said the talks would resume on Monday to "discuss the impact of continued paramilitary activity".
With that in mind, no one was expecting the extraordinary end to the final vote on the final day of business at the Senedd before the assembly election.
The vote on proposals to ban the use of e-cigarettes in many public places, known as the Public Health Bill, saw the Welsh Government's plans fail at the final hurdle.
In order for the bill to pass, Labour were counting on the support of a few Plaid Cymru AMs.
The reason it failed was because Plaid pulled its support after taking offence at comments by Public Services Minister Leighton Andrews who said a previous deal with Plaid was "a cheap date".
No one likes the feeling of being taken for granted - but that's exactly how Plaid felt.
Soon after Mr Andrews made his comment, Plaid AMs held a meeting in a room near the assembly chamber where a unanimous decision was taken to change it from being a free vote on the bill to one where all Plaid AMs should oppose the government.
Once the seriousness of the situation became apparent to Labour, there were said to be frantic scenes going on to try to persuade AMs to change their mind.
One source told me efforts were even made to persuade the Liberal Democrats, who fiercely opposed the bill, to make themselves scarce at the time of the vote so the government would have the numbers.
They didn't and an almighty row broke out.
First off was First Minister Carwyn Jones who said the Plaid response was the most childish thing he'd ever seen, claiming it was a joke to walk away from legislation that would safeguard people.
Health Minister Mark Drakeford said it was a waste of five years of work. That may or not be true as it could of course be reintroduced after the election but who's to say what the priorities will be of a new administration.
In the meantime, Plaid was defending its actions. Its big challenge was trying not to appear as if it had thrown its toys out of the pram in a petulant fashion.
Senior Plaid figures said a line had been crossed by Mr Andrews in belittling the party using a sexist phrase.
Was this a story for the bubble of Cardiff Bay or the wider world as well? Dr Phil Banfield of the British Medical Association said it was more than a row among politicians and he urged them "not to play games with the health of the nation".
So, what's the legacy of this episode? A number of people have told me that it'll quickly be forgotten about in the context that the parties will all be taking chunks out of each other anyway in the election campaign.
But I'm not so sure. This was a notch above the usual political knockabout and there's real anger on both sides.
Labour and Plaid have been coalition partners before. Many people believe some kind of deal between the two could be on the cards after the election.
But a bruising few days in which the parties have traded insults about arrogance and not being fit to govern is bound to leave its mark among the personalities involved.
The failure of the Public Health Bill may not be forgotten in a hurry.
Former Manchester United Under-21 boss Joyce was sacked on Monday after only four months in charge of the Latics.
Warnock's side are currently 13th in the Championship but were a point above the drop zone, and Wigan, in 21st when Joyce took charge.
"No disrespect but when Wigan appointed him, I was delighted," Warnock said.
He added to BBC Radio Wales Sport: "I didn't think they were going to be a threat to us.
"I like Warren but you can't just put someone into the Championship who's never been there - it's nothing like youth football."
Warnock recently signed a contract extension to stay as Bluebirds' manager until the end of 2017-18, but is confident about his position because of a lack of managerial talent elsewhere.
"I'm in a unique situation for a manager because I'm not bothered if I get the sack - they can sack me tomorrow if they want," he said.
"If I want another job, I can get another job. That's not being conceited, I just don't see many good managers around.
"There used to be hundreds, you could name them all but the Championship is not like any other league."

Two other defendants received life sentences, while 33 more will spend up to 25 years in jail, the chief prosecutor was quoted as saying.
The scandal involved forged documents reportedly used by an investment company to secure loans worth $2.6bn.
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad last year denied allegations that his government was involved.
The identities of the defendants have not been made public.
The case broke in September 2011 when an investment firm was accused of forging documents to obtain credit from at least seven Iranian banks over a four-year period.
The money was reportedly used to buy state-owned companies under the government's privatisation scheme.
As part of their probe, authorities froze the assets of an Iranian businessman thought to be the mastermind behind the scam.
The BBC's Sebastian Usher said the firm at the heart of the scandal had moved from a small start-up capital to being worth billions of dollars.
The affair fuelled weeks of political infighting between Mr Ahmadinejad and Iran's ruling hierarchy of clerics.
Economy Minister Shamseddin Hosseini scraped through an impeachment vote in November after conservative hardliners accused him of failing to take action over the fraud.
When Australian Deputy PM Barnaby Joyce was revealed to be a New Zealand dual citizen on Monday - possibly in violation of constitutional rules - social media users joked about what Amber Heard and Johnny Depp might think.
The actors were famously targeted by Mr Joyce for breaking rules of their own: failing to declare their dogs, Pistol and Boo, to Australian officials in 2015.
Mr Joyce had threatened to have the dogs put down, prompting Heard and Depp to release a stilted apology video for defying the biosecurity laws of Australia - which they called "a wonderful island".
The saga made headlines around the world and was widely enjoyed online, where it was dubbed the #WarOnTerrier.
So it was probably no surprise that Mr Joyce's citizenship snafu - which is bound for Australia's High Court - generated clamour of its own.

During the debate over the dogs, Mr Joyce stressed that the actors would not receive special treatment because of their high profile, and must obey the law.
"The consequences of a disease outbreak could have been terrifying," he wrote when sharing the pair's apology video on his Facebook page.
Last year, Heard avoided a conviction after pleading guilty to making a false statement on her immigration card.
On Tuesday, she chimed in on Mr Joyce's difficulty - to effectively have the last laugh.
"When @Barnaby_Joyce said "no one is above the law" I didn't realize he meant New Zealand law ..." she tweeted.

Her tweets were well shared, receiving both applause and criticism.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Mr Joyce has not responded.
The transparency activist has sought asylum at London's Ecuadorean embassy since 2012 to avoid extradition over sex assault allegations.
WikiLeaks accused US Secretary of State John Kerry of asking Ecuador to stop it publishing documents about Hillary Clinton.
The US state department said the allegation was "simply untrue".
Ecuador's Foreign Minister Guillaume Long made no comment on the allegations, saying only: "The circumstances that led to the granting of asylum remain."
WikiLeaks has recently been releasing emails from Hillary Clinton's campaign.
The anti-secrecy organisation did not return calls and emails on Monday, though it said in a tweet: "We have activated the appropriate contingency plans."
A woman who picked up the phone at the Ecuadorean embassy said: "I cannot disclose any information."
The ambassador has not yet responded to emails, and London's Metropolitan Police declined to comment.
The WikiLeaks claim follows emails it disclosed from a hack of Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta's emails.
It released three transcripts on Saturday of Mrs Clinton's paid speeches to Goldman Sachs, which her campaign had long refused to release.
The scripts reveal her bantering relationship with the investment bank's executives, which is unlikely to allay fears among liberal Democrats that she is too cosy with Wall Street.
The Democratic White House candidate's camp has claimed the cyber-breach was orchestrated by Russian hackers with the aim of undermining the US democratic process.
While Mrs Clinton's team has neither confirmed nor denied the leaked emails are authentic, there have been no indications they are fake.
According to the latest leaked emails, Mrs Clinton told a Goldman Sachs conference she would like to intervene secretly in Syria.
She made the remark in answer to a question from Lloyd Blankfein, the bank's chief executive, in 2013 - months after she left office as secretary of state.
"My view was you intervene as covertly as is possible for Americans to intervene," she told employees of the bank in South Carolina, which had paid her about $225,000 (£185,000) to give a speech.
Mrs Clinton - who is accused of being hawkish by liberal critics - added: "We used to be much better at this than we are now. Now, you know, everybody can't help themselves.
"They have to go out and tell their friendly reporters and somebody else: Look what we're doing and I want credit for it."
Police had said they were "very concerned" for the welfare of Hanna Sabic who had not arrived at work in the city on Monday. She had last been seen at Falkirk Grahamston Station.
Officers described her disappearance as "out of character" and appealed for the public's help to trace her.
They later said she had been traced in Edinburgh at about 13:45 on Tuesday.
A Police Scotland spokesman thanked the public and the media for their help.
The National Farmers' Union (NFU) Cymru said patience was now "running thin".
Payments from the Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) agricultural fund for 'protecting and enhancing the countryside' have been delayed by up to five months.
The Welsh Government insisted 95% of eligible farmers had been paid, but Conwy farmer Llyr Jones said he was "disgusted".
He said he had to take out a bank loan to make up for the loss of income, and had been given no explanation for the delay.
"It has been a strain. I've had to increase my overdraft in order to be able to carry on with my business," he said.
"My situation hasn't changed - I haven't changed the size of my farm and I haven't bought any more land."
Some cross-border farmers have faced delays as a result of the failure of English paying agencies to share data.
Stephen James, NFU Cymru President, said many farmers were now entering the 2016 application period before receiving their 2015 payment.
"This is unacceptable. For those not paid, Welsh Government will now have had the 2015 application form for nearly 11 months. Surely this is long enough to validate an application form?
"Farmers are struggling following a difficult winter, costs have mounted as a result of record rainfall and commodity prices remain depressed, meaning cash flow is a major issue on all farms."
Payments from the Glastir sustainable land management scheme have also been delayed by up to six months.
"Many farmers who will have changed farming practices and altered stocking levels in order to enter Glastir are now, in effect, being penalised as a result of a failure of Welsh Government delivery," Mr James said.
"We look to Welsh Government to bring this long-running saga to a swift conclusion."
A Welsh Government spokesman said it could not discuss individual cases, but said the vast majority of eligible Welsh farmers had received the first part of the payment.
"We have now made substantial part-payments to 95% of eligible farm businesses in Wales," the spokesman said.
"Approximately half those farmers still awaiting their part-payment have land in England. Although we are sharing our data with the rural payments agency (RPA) in England, we are unable to pay those specific cross-border cases until the RPA provide us with the information we require."
Kieran Joseph Healey, with an address at Great James Street, admitted four charges of fraud by false representation.
He also pleaded guilty to possessing court documents and emails for use in a fraud.
He committed the offences between September 2011 and August 2014.
Mr Healey, who has no previous convictions, was released on bail and is to be sentenced on 27 April.
When the law comes into effect on 1 January, the Golden State will become the first to outlaw the practice for people under the age of 18.
The bill was backed by mental health groups, and gay rights activists say reparative or "conversion therapy" can increase risk of depression or suicide.
Counselling and prayer is used to help some Christians deal with gay urges.
The bill was signed over the weekend along with more than 100 pieces of legislation sent to the governor by California's state legislature.
Two Christian groups, the California-based Pacific Justice Institute and the Florida-based Liberty Counsel will challenge the law.
The Liberty Counsel said it planned to argue in its lawsuit that the measure infringes on the First Amendment and equal protection rights.
In his statement, Gov Brown said sexual orientation change efforts "have no basis in science or medicine and they will now be relegated to the dustbin of quackery".
The Human Rights Campaign, an advocacy group, said: "We're grateful to Governor Brown for standing with California's children.
"LGBT [lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender] youth will now be protected from a practice that has not only been debunked as junk science, but has been proven to have drastically negative effects on their well-being," the gay rights advocate added, urging other states to take up similar measures.
But the National Association for Research and Therapy on Homosexuality said the bill was a "legislative over-reach".
Some conservative groups have said banning the therapy would restrict a parent's right to care for children going through gender confusion.
California is embroiled in a long-standing legal tussle over gay marriage.
A law called Proposition 8 banned same-sex marriage in California just months after it had been introduced. But a court overturned the ban in 2010.
After an appeal was upheld, the matter may now come before the US Supreme Court for a final ruling.
Detectives searching for 12-year-old Evelin Mezei from east London, said she was found by officers at 11:00 BST in Newham.
Earlier, police released CCTV of her with an unknown man on Monday night.
The still showed her at around 22:30 BST in Romford Road in Stratford, an hour after she was last seen by her mother in nearby Grove Crescent Road.
Evelin is a Hungarian national who came to the UK six months ago.
Paul Storm Blueitt, 36, assaulted Judith Ducker during the raid at a newsagents in Rotherham on 1 September.
Police said the injuries stopped Mrs Ducker receiving treatment for breast cancer and she died prematurely from the disease in hospital a month later.
Blueitt, of Cambridge Crescent, Rotherham, was convicted after a trial at Sheffield Crown Court.
More on this and other South Yorkshire stories
Det Sgt Andy Shields said 64-year-old Mrs Ducker was left with a fractured skull, a fractured eye socket, multiple head lacerations and bruising to the brain following a "horrendous assault".
Det Sgt Shields added: "The consequence of this assault, was that Judith would never be well enough to receive further cancer treatment and after being taken to hospital, a CT head scan revealed that Judith's breast cancer had spread to her brain.
"Such were her head injuries that further cancer treatment could not be given to her and she sadly died in hospital on 20 October last year. She died from the breast cancer that had spread to her brain."
South Yorkshire Police said Blueitt was initially charged with attempted murder but after Mrs Ducker's death, the charge was upgraded to murder, following consultation with the Crown Prosecution Service.
The prosecution case was that the serious head injuries caused by Blueitt prevented Mrs Ducker from receiving vital cancer treatment and resulted in her premature death.
Blueitt was also found guilty of robbery and will have to serve a minimum of 27 years in prison.
Edward Robert Hughes' paintings are now most often seen on greetings cards.
In 1909 art critic Huntly Carter called them "pictures which, if reduced, might decorate confetti boxes".
Now a Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery (BMAG) exhibition will try to make visitors reconsider the artist.
Enchanted Dreams: The Pre-Raphaelite Art of ER Hughes opens for a five-month run on Sunday.
BMAG already has the world's largest collection of Pre-Raphaelite paintings.
The museum's curator of fine art Victoria Osborne said the exhibition is "the culmination of a ten-year journey of discovery, exploring public and private collections across the world to uncover works unseen for a century and the life of a 'lost' artist."
"His fantastical paintings are familiar worldwide on greetings cards, calendars and posters, but as an artist Hughes is virtually forgotten, lost in time.
"We plan to set the picture straight, giving the artist the recognition he finally deserves," said Ms Osborne, who wrote her thesis on the painter.
The exhibition is the first ever full-scale retrospective of Hughes' work, and will also include details about his life, such as a portrait of him by his uncle, the Pre-Raphaelite painter Arthur Hughes.
Both Smith and Berki scored 16.066 but the Hungarian was awarded the Olympic gold for a higher execution score.
GB team-mate Max Whitlock scored a superb 15.600 on his Olympic debut, handing the 19-year-old bronze.
Smith, 23, adds silver to the bronze medal he won at Beijing 2008.
That medal, achieved at the age of 19, made him the first Briton in a century to win an individual gymnastics medal.
There, his score tied with that of Croatia's Filip Ude and Smith came off worse, missing out on silver.
Four years later, with Smith the favourite for Olympic gold and the last to compete in the North Greenwich Arena, the same happened again. This time, arch-rival Berki took the spoils.
"Louis was under huge amounts of pressure and he had to deliver the goods. In fairness to him he increased the difficulty and to get the same score as the Olympic champion is just fantastic. We've come so far in the sport. We are now the strongest team in the world on the pommel horse. I cannot believe it. This is terrific for British gymnastics."
"It was tough. It's happened twice now, at two Olympic Games, being bumped down," he told BBC Sport.
"I guess I'm used to it now. But to come second against one of the best pommel-horse workers the world has ever seen? I'm a happy guy."
He could not have done more, losing out by a fraction in a battle between two greats of the discipline.
When scores are level in gymnastics, the mark awarded for execution - as opposed to difficulty, which is the other half - is counted first to break the tie.
Berki had a difficulty score of 6.9 and an execution score of 9.166, to Smith's higher difficulty of 7.0 but lower execution of 9.066.
The Hungarian's victory means he has still to lose to Smith in a major final, but Smith's relief at getting through his routine was palpable, having fallen in the same arena at the 2009 World Championships.
Smith did not watch Berki's routine, instead opting to continue his warm-up in the depths of the arena. When a rehearsal of his hardest routine did not go to plan, he opted for a slightly safer set of moves and was happy with his decision.
"I can't sit here with my face screwed up when I've got a silver at an Olympic Games. It's such a journey, not just for me but for every Olympic athlete," said Smith.
"To perform one of my hardest routines cleanly knowing all my friends and family have come to watch, regardless of what medal it won, was an amazing feeling.
"I said this final would be a clash of the titans if we both went through our routines, and getting the same score shows how close it was."
Whitlock kept his composure remarkably and went through a clean, strong routine in his first Olympic individual final. Not only did it pick up a medal, it hinted at a brighter future in four years' time.
"I'm so happy with how my first Olympics has gone, I couldn't ask for more," Whitlock said.
"To come second to Louis Smith, to start with, is really good. He was so close to that gold. He's upped his medal from bronze to silver and he should be really happy with it. He's done well."
Kristian Thomas and Beth Tweddle are Britain's remaining gymnastics hopes in the men's vault and women's uneven bars respectively. Both finals take place on Monday.
New chairman Sir Peter Hendy came up with the idea after he was drafted in this summer to rescue the company's disastrous £12.5bn enhancement plan.
He says by selling off non-core bits of property, Network Rail can now deliver "the bulk" of the planned programme.
It is the biggest SME (small and medium-sized enterprise) UK landlord.
When Sir Peter came on board, costs had been spiralling and deadlines slipping because Network Rail promised major changes by 2019 that it simply could not deliver.
Sir Peter has warned that "some projects will cost more and take longer than originally expected".
One critical scheme, the plan to electrify the line from Swansea to London, has been dogged with delays and extra costs.
The first budget estimate was £640m. It now stands at £2.8bn.
Work on the core part of the line, to Cardiff, should be finished by 2019, Network Rail says.
But new, multi-billion pound intercity trains are arriving more than a year before that.
It raises the embarrassing prospect of sparkly high-speed trains initially providing a slower service because they can't run on electricity for the whole route.
Other all-electric versions could be idle for months.
Meanwhile, plans to electrify other parts of the Great Western route, to Oxford (from Didcot), Swansea and the loop to Bath and Bristol Temple Meads, will not be finished until some years later.
Network Rail has struggled since it became a public body last year.
That was a move that immediately turned the funding taps off, because it could no longer borrow cash on the private markets. Instead, its £38bn debt went onto the government's books, and ministers refused to lend bosses any more money.
The Department for Transport will begin an eight-week consultation on the report next month.
Josh Boothman went missing in the River Erewash at Stapleford, Nottinghamshire on Saturday afternoon.
Fundraisers said a £2,000 target to help towards memorial costs was met within 10 hours of a Just Giving page being launched online.
On Monday, 283 donations had raised £3,480.
Lynne Sansom, who set up the page, said Josh's father Mark had hoped to give some of the donation to "charities close to Josh's heart."
Dr Sansom, 37, from Risley, in Derbyshire, said: "People feel helpless... hopefully this money will help the family from afar without intruding on their grief.
"It's lovely the community has come together. The support for the family has been overwhelming at this difficult and devastating time."
She added: "Josh used to come in our motorbike shop when he was little to sit on our bikes and it used to take ages for his family to prise him off again."
In a statement, George Spencer Academy, said: "We are deeply saddened and shocked by the tragic death of Josh Boothman, one of our Year 9 students.
"Josh was a lovely young man - always chirpy, positive and polite. He had impeccable manners and time for everyone.
"He loved his youth club and enjoyed football.
"Josh was a credit to his family, school and community... he will be sorely missed."
Josh's sister Kate Sermon said his death has left a "hole" in her life and still could not believe what has happened.
"Josh always had a smile of his face and was such a happy boy whenever I saw him," she said.
Ms Sermon said she heard Josh was with a friend when he fell in to the water, his friend went in to try to help him but could not get him out.
Fire officers and the ambulance service helped search for him and police divers found a body just after 17:30 BST.
Nottinghamshire Police said investigations in to what happened were "ongoing".
A disciplinary tribunal found Dr Adam Osborne's behaviour "profoundly unacceptable" and ruled his fitness to practise had been impaired.
Dr Osborne, the brother of Chancellor George Osborne, started the relationship with the woman in 2011.
The tribunal chairman said his actions were not "easily remediable".
Dr Nigel Callaghan said Dr Osborne's behaviour "undermines the public's confidence in the medical profession".
The psychiatrist had treated the woman for depression, anxiety and chronic fatigue at a private practice in London, between 2011 and 2014.
The tribunal heard Dr Osborne had begged, then threatened the woman after she complained to the General Medical Council (GMC) when he ended the relationship.
In one email he wrote: "If I get into trouble for this then I will never forgive you for this and I will make sure you pay."
Dr Callaghan said Dr Osborne had sent "inappropriate emails" when he knew the woman was in "a particularly vulnerable and fragile state".
The tribunal previously heard she had tried to take her own life two days after they broke up.
It will now decide whether to impose a sanction on the psychiatrist.
If they do, Dr Osborne could have conditions put on his registration, be suspended or be struck off.
He's so fast that he could have finished 100m in the time it's taken you to read up to here.
As he bids goodbye to the Games, let's slice and dice his stats, shall we?
As a sprinter, Bolt spends very little time actually running. In Olympics finals, he has been running for only 114 seconds. That's not even a full two minutes.
*Bolt's individual time in his ninth race has not yet been published. We tried to time it from the TV but we don't trust our reaction time on the stopwatch.
When you include the preliminary rounds, Bolt has spent only 325 seconds - a little under five and a half minutes - on the Olympics track, according to Associated Press.
That means he has picked up a gold medal for every 36 seconds spent on the track, including the qualifying rounds.
At his fastest, in the 4x100m relay, Bolt nudges the 25mph mark. That's 40km/h.
His relay times are quicker because they aren't from a standing start. He's already running when his team-mate passes him the baton.
He's able to leave the blocks in 0.155 of a second. That's super-fast. Don't believe us? Try this test of your own reaction time.
OK, we're being silly, but humour us here. IF you laid out track from the Earth's equator to the moon at its closest point in its orbit... AND if Bolt kept running at his fastest speed from Earth all the way through space to the moon, he would get there in 9,713 hours.
If he had declared an independent republic of himself, Usain Bolt would have been 27th in the Beijing Olympics medals table. His three golds would put him just above Cuba and below Georgia. In the London Olympics, he would have been 26th - above Belarus and below Croatia. And in the Rio Olympics so far, he would be 25th, between Iran and Ukraine.
(Of course, this is only if you're still counting Jamaica as a country, and still counting his medals in their tally...)
It's 220,000mph (354056 km/h). Not even close. But for a human being, Bolt is astonishingly quick and he deserves his nickname, Lightning.
Well after his winning sprint, Bolt posed for photographs in the stadium. With the lights being switched off, he had a few informal throws of a javelin he found lying about.
The last one travelled 50m - which would have been far enough to earn him sixth place at Jamaica's national championships, AP said.
That's not normal. Take a bow, Mr Bolt.
The 20-year-old has made 22 first-team appearances for Forest, and also been out on loan twice.
He scored once in a late-season loan with Burton Albion in 2015-16, helping them to win promotion from League One.
And he scored three goals in his first two games for League Two side Stevenage this term before suffering an injury which kept him out for over two months.
He still ended with four goals from nine appearances for Boro and also has two in seven games for England at Under-20 level.
His arrival follows that of Chris Eagles last week on a short-term deal and midfielder Callum Guy on loan from Championship club Derby County.
Following Saturday's snow-enforced postponement of the game with MK Dons, all three are now expected to make their Vale debuts in Friday's home fixture against Bury.

Daniel Sanzone inflicted "catastrophic and irreversible" brain injuries on Joshua Millinson at his home in Wolverhampton in October last year.
The 23-year-old was convicted of murder on Wednesday at Birmingham Crown Court.
The court heard he has since received death threats and his prison cell had been ransacked. Mr Justice Robert Jay said Sanzone was "immature".
Joshua was in intensive care at Birmingham Children's Hospital for nearly a month after the incident before a High Court order was issued to switch off his life support machine.

The assaults must have caused the baby "considerable distress" and Joshua must have "cried out in pain", Mr Justice Jay said.
Sanzone was unable to accept that his partner, Joshua's mother Zoe Howell, was "no longer able to focus all her attention on you", the judge told him.
Ms Howell was cleared of child cruelty and causing or allowing Joshua's death.
The couple had split up in the days before the shaking incident on 24 October last year.
Speaking after the sentencing, Ms Howell said the sentence was not long enough.
She said: "I've lost my son and I've had to go through all this. People have been slating me for something I didn't do.
"My son was my whole world.
"I can't explain it. I just keep saying to myself I should have done more, but what could I have done?"
The court was told paramedics were called to Whitburn Close in Pendeford where they found Joshua not breathing and "floppy".
Sanzone told Joshua's mother that the "thud" she said she heard from another room was him dropping a remote control.
During the trial, jurors were told Joshua's injuries were some of the most extreme medical experts had seen.
The experts found evidence of previous injuries including a "forcible twisting of bones" from about a week prior to the shaking and rib and leg fractures that may have pre-dated previous hospital visits.
Sanzone will serve a minimum of 15 years in prison.
The uncapped Billings, 23, made his county debut in 2011 and averages 44.71 with the bat in List A matches.
Kieswetter has suffered a setback in his recovery from an eye injury and is due to miss the 2015 season.
He tweeted his congratulations to Billings, calling him a "seriously talented player" and "future star".
The World Cup will be held in Australia and New Zealand from 14 February to 29 March 2015, with England's first match, against Australia, in Melbourne on 14 February.
England's provisional squad includes two other wicketkeepers, Jos Buttler and Jonny Bairstow. All squads must be reduced to 15 by 7 January.
Merchant Square and four other bar and restaurant units on nearby Candleriggs were sold by Merchant City Properties for a combined price of £9.5m.
They were bought by Clydebuilt Fund, which is owned by the Glasgow City Council-administered Strathclyde Pension Fund.
Merchant Square is housed in part of Glasgow's Old Fruitmarket.
Developers Ediston Real Estate said plans were being drawn up to enhance and improve the properties, as well as bringing redundant space in Merchant Square back into use.
Ediston director of investment Calum Bruce said: "These acquisitions fit Clydebuilt's strategy of buying assets we believe we can enhance further.
"The leisure market in Glasgow has seen significant expansion over the last 18 months, and as the city centre reaches saturation point we are confident the Merchant City will benefit as operators look for new opportunities and locations to expand into."
The victim, who cannot be named, was left with a broken jaw and ribs, missing teeth, cigarette burns and had "paedo" carved into his leg.
He endured the week-long campaign of "sadistic violence" at the hands of seven people at a house in Telford.
Each of them admitted causing grievous bodily harm with intent.
The group of five men, one woman and a 17-year-old boy, were sentenced at Stafford Crown Court.

Ringleader Stephanie Titley, 26, befriended the 21-year-old and offered him a place to stay, the Honourable Mr Justice Dove said.
She imprisoned the victim against his will, while she and other defendants acted on what police said was a "malicious lie" that the victim was a child abuser.
Their "appalling" campaign of abuse included pulling out his teeth, burning him with hair straighteners and assaulting him with a broom, the judge said.
The victim was found in a room with blood on the walls, carpet and mattress, at an address in the Woodside area of Telford on 1 September last year. He had been kept there "in excess of seven days".
At no point was pity shown towards him and the defendants repeatedly returned to torture him, the court heard.
Some of the group made "boastful disclosures" to friends afterwards about what they had done.
The victim suffered "long lasting mental and physical harm" as a result.
Supt Tom Harding, from West Mercia Police, said:"I was pleased that that the judge had identified that the basis for this attack over a number of days was a heinous and vicious lie and that that lie had been used to try to justify the actions of the defendants which were quite simply despicable.
"This was one of the most despicable cases that certainly have I have been involved in or that my team have investigated."
The defendants and sentences:
The 27-year-old victim was attending the Tea Party Festival on Saturday when he noticed a "disturbance" on the dance floor at about 20:30 BST, police said.
He heard a quiet "cap gun" sound and realised he had sustained an injury to his chest, a spokesman added.
Det Con Tom Parker appealed to anyone with photographs or video footage of the shooting to come forward.
He said: "This occurred when the VIP tent would have been busy, so if you were there and took a photo you may have captured the incident."
The victim was taken to hospital where he remains in a stable condition.
The suspect is described as a black man, who is believed to be in his thirties.
The Spaniard, 23, moved to Villa from Sevilla for an undisclosed seven-figure fee on a three-year deal in June 2013.
But after scoring on his debut, Luna went on to make just 18 first team appearances and did not feature at all from January onwards.
He is the third of last year's signings to be loaned out this summer, following Nicklas Helenius and Yacouba Sylla.
Danish striker Helenius has returned home to Aalborg on a similar deal, while Mali international midfielder Sylla has also made a season-long loan move to Turkish side Kayseri Erciyesspor.
Villa, who have lost their last two friendlies to Chesterfield and Groningen, continue their pre-season warm-up with a trip to neighbours Walsall on Tuesday evening before taking on Serie A side Parma on Saturday.
They kick off the new Premier League season at Stoke on 16 August.
There has been no official confirmation of the cause of the former Newcastle United player's fatal collapse while training with his Beijing Enterprises club in China.
But the circumstances are similar to those in which many other players have died.
Nigeria's Samuel Okwaraji was the first major on-field casualty in Africa.
He collapsed while playing for the Super Eagles in a World Cup qualifier against Angola in Lagos in 1989.
An autopsy showed the 25-year-old, who was a law student and on the books of VfB Stuttgart in Germany, had an enlarged heart and high blood pressure.
His death left the continent shocked but there was a much wider audience in Lyon, France, in 2003 when Cameroon midfielder Marc-Vivien Foe fell in the centre circle 15 minutes from the end of Cameroon's Confederations Cup semi-final with Colombia.
Medics spent 45 minutes trying to restart the midfielder's heart before he was pronounced dead.
His autopsy found that he suffered from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a hereditary condition which increases the risk of collapse during exercise.
An award handed to the best African player in France's top-flight Ligue 1 was subsequently named after Foe.
Other African internationals to die from heart attacks while playing were Amir Angwe and Endurance Idahor of Nigeria.
Tunisian centreback Hedi Berkhissa collapsed during a friendly for his club Esperance against French side Lyon.
Zambia's Chaswe Nsofwa died during a club match in Israel in 2007 while Cameroonian Patrick Ekeng collapsed and died playing for Dinamo Bucharest in Romania last year.
In April this year former Gabon defender Moise Brou Apanga suffered a heart attack and died while training with his club FC 105 Libreville.
Nigerian Nwankwo Kanu's career was halted for nine months not long after he returned with a gold medal from the 1996 Olympics when Inter Milan's doctors found a heart defect.
Surgery in America to replace an aortic valve allowed the Nigerian striker to resume his career the next year.
Inter's medical team also found Senegal's Khalilou Fadiga had an irregular heartbeat after the club signed him and told him to quit football.
But Fadiga carried on playing after joining Bolton Wanderers in 2004 and had a defibrillator fitted after collapsing in the warm-up before a game at Tottenham Hotspur.
The quick thinking of a doctor in the crowd at the London club's White Hart Lane stadium in 2012 saved the life of another Bolton player, DR Congo-born Fabrice Muamba.
He fell to the ground just before halftime but survived despite his heart having stopped beating for 78 minutes.
NHS data shows 27.2% of mothers-to-be in Blackpool smoke throughout pregnancy compared with 2.1% in Westminster.
And, each year, more than 70,000 pregnancies are affected by smoking.
The overall rate has fallen to below 11% in England, but the Smoking in Pregnancy Challenge Group report urges a national target of below 6% by 2020.
Each year, smoking during pregnancy in the UK causes an estimated:
According to data from the Health & Social Care Information Centre, there is wide regional variation in the number of women who smoke in pregnancy.
Their latest figures show one in five women living in the Durham, Darlington and Tees area report having smoked during pregnancy compared with one in 20 women in London.
The group of 20 organisations behind the campaign includes Action on Smoking and Health, Bliss, the Faculty of Public Health, the Royal College of Midwives and the Royal College of Nursing.
Action on Smoking and Health chief executive Deborah Arnott said the government must maintain "a strong commitment to tackling smoking among pregnant women".
Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists president Dr David Richmond added: "Stopping smoking is the most important thing a pregnant woman can do to improve her baby's health, growth and development and reduce unnecessary pregnancy complications."
Prof Russel Viner, at the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, said smoking rates among teenage mothers-to-be remained considerably higher than the rest of the population.
"They are almost six times as likely to smoke throughout pregnancy as women who are over 35," he said.
"We also know that there are big regional variations, with rates much higher in poorer communities.
"We cannot be complacent."
"I love this city, but I wonder if this city loves me," he wrote.
On Sunday, he was shot dead along with two other police officers in the city. Three other officers were also wounded before the gunman was killed by police.
Jackson's post has now been seen and shared by thousands of people.
"I've experienced so much in my short life and these last three days have tested me to the core," he wrote on 8 July, amid a period of extreme tension between black people and police in the city.
Discussing the difficulties of being a police officer and a black man in America currently, he said he was "disappointed in some family, friends and officers for some reckless comments".
"In uniform I get nasty hateful looks and out of uniform some consider me a threat."
He ends his post saying: "These are trying times. This city must and will get better. I'm working in these streets so any protesters, officers, friends, family, or whoever, if you see me and need a hug or want to say a prayer. I got you."
His original Facebook post, reposted by friend Kristi Vick Godal after his death, has now been shared more than 4,000 times, with lots of people reacting to it.
His name has also been tweeted 123,000 times since he died, with people praising his words and and many quoting them as well as sharing screenshots of his original post.

The 39-year-old man was found on Godfrey Road near Newport Civic Centre on Sunday at around 17:40 GMT.
He was taken to the Royal Gwent Hospital in the city where he was pronounced dead.
Gwent Police said they were treating the death as unexplained and asked for anyone with information to contact them on 101.
What I See is his first book, and features photographs taken by the 18-year-old son of ex-footballer David and fashion designer Victoria Beckham.
Some of them offer glimpses in to the home lifestyle of the Beckham clan - like this one of his sister Harper drawing.
Others are taken from his own travels around the world.
This one of a set designer was taken during the shooting of Guy Ritchie's movie King Arthur - which his father David appeared in.
But while his photographs have helped him build up more than 10 million Instagram followers - not everybody has been positive.
One picture of an elephant received particular ire on social media. Brooklyn had added to his dimly-lit shot with a caption explaining elephants were "so hard to photograph".
Some Twitter users who did a quick search on Google Images disagreed with that.
One critic - the arts editor of the i paper, Alice Jones - also poked fun at a couple of the photos and their somewhat minimalistic captions, in a comment which received more than 11,000 retweets.
But writing in GQ, Eleanor Davies said many critics were just "being snide".
"At just 18 Brooklyn Beckham is very young for a published photographer and he should be proud of this book," she wrote.
"Critics should give Brooklyn Beckham a break and encourage this budding photographer. After all, David Bailey didn't even get his first photography job as an assistant until he was 21."
Elle's Katie O'Malley described him as a "star on the rise", while Heat World's Aimee Jakes said the book as "bloody brilliant", adding: "It's definitely something you'll want on your coffee table bbz."
Writing in Dazed, Charlie Brinkhurst-Cuff said some of the images were "poorly planned" but added: "Not all of the pictures in the book are arguably as worthy of criticism."
In an open letter, the BBC's arts editor Will Gompertz told Brooklyn: "The snide remarks being made about your work are cheap and self-serving. Ignore them."
Writing in The Guardian, Marina Hyde took a more analytical approach, debating the pros and cons of celebrity children being given more opportunities than other people their own age.
"Fittingly, the fuss over Brooklyn Beckham's debut book of photography is a little out of focus," she wrote.
Publisher Penguin Random House defended the book, with managing director Francesca Dow commenting: "What I See is a book for teenagers, by a teenager, which gives Brooklyn's fans broader insight into his world seen through his unique and creative perspective."

After a scrappy game the defender rose highest to power in Max Power's corner and move the Latics into 22nd place, just two points from safety.
Wolves went close through Dave Edwards, but Wigan goalkeeper Matt Gilks produced a great save to palm the Wales midfielder's header away.
The hosts have now lost three straight Championship matches and stay 18th.
Going into the fixture Wolves had won just one of their last five league games at Molineux against Wigan and struggled to fashion chances despite enjoying 59% possession.
Bright Enobakhare threatened, but Paul Lambert's side lacked cutting edge in the final third and were punished late on from a set-piece.
Buxton headed in a first goal since February 2015 to put Wigan ahead from just their second shot on target and Gilks tipped over Connor Ronan's 30-yard effort to make sure of the points.
The victory sees Wigan move up one place past Blackburn Rovers, who suffered a 2-1 defeat by Sheffield Wednesday.
Wolves boss Paul Lambert:
"I'm like everyone else, disappointed and angry with the way that we performed.
"We never did enough, that's for sure; it wasn't good enough. We were too passive, we never dominated the ball and were not aggressive enough with or without the ball.
"Normally my teams come out of the traps and that is the disappointing thing. If you don't do things right then you will get beat. We have to be better than that."
Wigan manager Warren Joyce:
"It was a tough game against a good side and the game could have gone either way, but in the end we have ended up with three points and we have got that really through effort, endeavour, bravery and guts.
"We have had a few kicks in the teeth and it shows a lot of character to come to a place like Wolves and stand up to them with the backing that they have got from the supporters and the stadium here."

Pundits lined up on Wednesday to declare Mike Pence the winner of a debate many other pundits said doesn't matter anyway. But where Tim Kaine failed to land a punch, Latino scholars had more success. Some roundly criticised the Indiana governor for referring during the debate to "that Mexican thing" (Donald Trump's infamous attack on immigrants from that country). Meanwhile, Trump, with tongue firmly in cheek, suggested the terminally ill should cast their vote for him.
Pence attacked over #ThatMexicanThing
Wednesday was a day the Trump team could enjoy, as it was the first in more than a week where they weren't being consumed by fires of their own making. Instead they could bask in the afterglow of a strong debate performance by Pence, which has given them a brief respite ahead of Sunday's big showdown.

Bernie Sanders will appear at four rallies on Thursday in the key state of Michigan, to bang the drum for his former rival, Hillary Clinton. Her daughter Chelsea is campaigning in Minnesota. Mike Pence is stumping in Pennsylvania and Tim Kaine in Nevada. But both Clinton herself, and Donald Trump, have no appearances booked yet, so they could be swotting up for the debate.
Two of the conservative news channel's biggest stars have turned their sharp tongues on one another after Sean Hannity accused Megyn Kelly of being in league with Hillary Clinton.
The clash began when Kelly said on her Wednesday night programme that both Mrs Clinton and Donald Trump avoid tough media interviews. She said the Republican nominee "will go on Hannity and pretty much only Hannity".
Hannity - a vocal supporter of Trump - fired back on Twitter, writing: "u should be mad at @HillaryClinton Clearly you support her. And @realDonaldTrump did talk to u."
Another Twitter user chided Hannity, urging him to stand by his colleagues, but the host replied: "Sure. When they stand by me."
Ouch!
Who do Brits back?
The BBC asked Conservatives at their annual party conference in Birmingham (that's in the West Midlands, not Alabama) whom they would back.
Some clues from these random quotes:
"As someone who shares the same hairdresser as Donald..."
"It's like the Iran-Iraq War, you want them both to lose..."
"It's a kick in the face or a kick in the crotch..."
"Just so I can see the president of North Korean's face..."
Watch and find out:
The number of viewers who watched Mike Pence and Tim Kaine slug it out on Tuesday night. That's less than half the number who tuned in to see the top-of-the-ticket clash a week ago. And it's well down on the 50m who watched Paul Ryan and Joe Biden in 2012.
This week Bill Clinton has been in the state of Ohio trying to drum up support for his wife's campaign.
But in Cleveland, where factory closures have brought economic despair, Chris Brown tells the BBC that for for black Americans, this election is all about voting for the worst candidate.
"I don't see relief in sight, I just see it getting worse and worse," he says.

Among the questions from pupils at Oasis Academy Brightstowe was one from 15-year-old Seema who wants to be the first female Afghan astronaut.
Major Peake told her it was a "wonderful idea and ambition" and that she should "follow her dreams"
The link up started at 14:20 GMT and lasted 10 minutes with the school using the special radio call sign GB1OAB.
A computer programme tracks the ISS as it travels across the sky and this controls where the aerials are pointing and what frequency the VHF/UHF radio is on
As the students ask their questions the operator switches the transmitter on. At the end of the question he or she says 'over' and the transmitter is switched off
The reply is received from space and played over loudspeakers in the hall
There was a loud cheer from pupils, staff and parents as his voice crackled through the loudspeakers in the school hall for the first time and the live picture appeared on TV screens.
Sixteen-year-old Ashleigh wanted to know how many days' supplies the space station has on board and what would happen if a restocking mission could not take place?
Major Peake told him a few missions to restock had had problems but the space station had six-month's worth of reserves.
And nine-year-old Jacob asked why he had become an astronaut..
He replied he had been a pilot and it was the "pinnacle of his career" to "explore new frontiers".
The link-up was part of the Amateur Radio on the International Space Station project which aims to inspire students, to pursue interests and careers in science, technology, engineering and maths through an interest in amateur radio.
Officials have also banned demonstrations to prevent unrest after the elections.
Estate agent Adama Barrow is challenging President Yahya Jammeh, who says divine intervention will give him a fifth term.
The Gambia has not had a smooth transfer of power since independence.
The BBC's Umaru Fofana in the capital, Banjul, says turnout in the election appears to be very high.
Our correspondent went to a polling station outside Banjul, where he witnessed long queues of voters waiting to cast their votes.
The results of the election are said to be expected later tonight.
The Gambia has a unique way of voting for the president.
Instead of using ballot papers, voters put a marble into a coloured drum for their candidate.
The system is aimed at tackling illiteracy and preventing rigging.
In the 2011 election, only two votes were declared invalid after people placed their marbles on top of drums.
Observers say Mr Barrow, who, according to British news reports, was once a security guard in the UK high street store Argos, has generated fresh enthusiasm among opposition supporters.
Human rights groups accuse Mr Jammeh, who has in the past claimed he can cure Aids and infertility, of repression and abuses.
Several previously better-known opposition leaders are in jail after taking part in a rare protest in April.
Observers from the European Union (EU) and the West African regional bloc Ecowas are not attending the vote.
This poll in The Gambia is different.
An unprecedented number of people turned up at opposition rallies ahead of the election.
For a country that has known only two presidents since independence from the UK 51 years ago, its mostly young population is yearning for change.
The economic challenges besetting this small West African nation have forced many to make the perilous journey to Europe, with some drowning on the way.
President Jammeh has said he will rule for a billion years if Allah wills.
Mr Barrow says he wants to bring the country back from the brink and restore human rights and true democracy.
Mr Jammeh's supporters say he has spread education and health care to remote parts of the country.
However, his critics accuse him of repressive tendencies with many dissenting voices either killed, jailed or forced into exile.
Gambian officials opposed the presence of Western observers, but the EU says it is staying away out of concern about the fairness of the voting process.
The African Union, however, has despatched a handful of observers to supervise the vote.
The Gambia, a tiny country with a population of less than two million, is surrounded on three sides by Senegal and has a short Atlantic coastline, which is popular with European tourists.
Mr Jammeh took power in a 1994 coup.
Ahead of the vote, rights groups expressed concern over a possible flare-up of violence.
However, campaigning passed off almost smoothly without a major incident.
On Tuesday Mr Jammeh warned his rivals against contesting the outcome of the vote.
"Our election system is fraud-proof, rig-proof, you cannot rig our elections," he said.
"There is no reason that anybody should demonstrate. [Demonstrations] are the loopholes that are used to destabilise African governments.''
Mamma Kandeh of the Gambia Democratic Congress is also in the race.
Centre Slade, 22, broke his leg at Wasps on 5 December, while Ewers injured knee ligaments a week before.
Both were included in Eddie Jones' first England squad in January.
Flanker Ewers, 25, could be back in the Chiefs squad by the end of February and Slade has been running for the past few weeks and started kicking a ball.
"He's going to be a little way out from joining in with the lads in full training," Baxter said of Slade, who started England's final World Cup match against Uruguay last year.
"You're still talking weeks rather than days from where he is, but it's just fantastic to see that he can actually work on the rugby parts of his game now."
Ewers has yet to win a cap for England having been called up by Jones for the first time after an impressive couple of seasons at Sandy Park.
"We're in the end stage of his rehab," said Baxter.
"He did a little bit of contact work yesterday, he's been out doing a fair bit of running and changes of direction.
"We hope that all goes positively and we see him again in the next couple of weeks."
In a statement, Mexico's National Security Commission said Guzman was last seen in the showers of the Altiplano jail late on Saturday night.
He was the leader of the Sinaloa cartel, which smuggles huge amounts of illegal drugs into the US.
His recapture in 2014 was hailed as a victory for Mexico's government.
Officials say that Guzman's escape was discovered when officers checked his cell in the Altiplano prison, which is near Mexico City.
A search operation has been launched and flights have been suspended at a nearby Toluca airport.
Guzman escaped from a Mexican high-security prison in 2001. He hid in a laundry basket after bribing prison officials.
He had been serving a sentence of more than 20 years after being arrested in Guatemala in 1993.
The US has indicted him on federal drug trafficking charges.
His arrest last year was a success story for Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto. At the time of his arrest Guzman was paraded before the media in Mexico City.
Guzman was born in the town of Badiraguato, probably 57 years ago, and became an important figure in the drug cartels of the 1980s.
His rise to head of the Sinaloa cartel made him the world's most wanted drug trafficker.
The cartel controls much of the flow of cocaine, marijuana and methamphetamine to the US.
Before his recapture in 2014, the US state department had offered a reward of up to $5m (£3.2m) for information leading to his arrest.
His wealth is estimated at $1bn (£630m).
Jack Chappell, 18, from Stockport, is accused of running a web business supplying software used to attack the websites of several multinational firms, including Amazon and Vodafone.
Among the websites that Chappell allegedly attacked are the National Crime Agency, the BBC, BT and Netflix.
Chappell is due to appear at Manchester Magistrates' Court on Tuesday.
Prosecutors allege the teenager supplied denial of service software, which crashes websites by flooding them with huge volumes of data, and ran an online helpdesk for would-be hackers.
He was charged following an investigation led by the West Midlands Regional Cyber Crime Unit, assisted by Israeli Police, the FBI and Europol's European Cybercrime Centre.
West Midlands Police said Chappell was accused of helping cyber-criminals target websites around the world, including a 2015 attack on NatWest that affected the bank's online systems.
In a statement confirming the charges, the force added: "He has been charged with impairing the operation of computers under the Computer Misuse Act, plus encouraging or assisting an offence and money laundering crime proceeds together with an American national."
None of the denial of service attacks Chappell is alleged to have been behind led to the theft or loss of any customer data, police said.
Pauline Chai, 70, of Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, wanted half their assets, which she claimed were worth at least £205m.
Her ex-husband Khoo Kay Peng argued she should receive about £9m, following the end of their 42-year marriage.
Mr Justice Bodey said Ms Chai's settlement should be made up of cash and property.
More than £6m has been spent on lawyers since their marriage broke down.
The couple, who both come from Malaysia, married in 1970 and have five children.
The hearing was heard at the Family Division of the High Court in London, where earlier Mr Justice Bodley had told them they could live in "considerable comfort" if they settled their differences.
Dr Khoo, who is a non-executive chairman of Laura Ashley Holdings, had wanted their divorced to be settled in Malaysia, which he said was their marital home.
But Ms Chai successfully argued the pair had moved their home to Berkhamsted before separating, entitling her to have the case heard in England.
The government has accused the Taliban of raping and killing civilians after it seized the northern city this week. The Taliban rejected the accusations.
Both sides are claiming to be in control of much of the city.
Kunduz was the first major urban centre to fall to the Taliban in 14 years.
In another development on Friday, the Taliban captured Baharak district in neighbouring Badakhshan province.
Baharak is only 40km (24 miles) from the provincial capital Faizabad.
This comes a day after the militants seized Badakhshan's Warduj district, which shares a border with China and Pakistan.
Local residents in Kunduz say they are trapped in their homes and are running out of supplies.
"We are facing a shortage of food and water, and cannot go out as we are afraid of being shot at by both sides," one resident, who did not want to be named, told the BBC's Afghan service.
The International Committee of the Red Cross says it is "increasingly concerned" by the shortage of medical supplies and personnel.
Meanwhile, rights group Amnesty International that said the Taliban was behind "mass murder, gang rapes and house-to-house searches" in Kunduz.
The Afghan government has accused the Taliban of "extrajudicial killings" and "crimes against humanity".
However, Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid dismissed the accusations.
"The enemy is engaged in a negative propaganda against us accusing us of harming people and property. We reject all of this," the spokesman told the BBC.
'No one can live there'
The BBC's Justin Rowlatt visited the outskirts of Kunduz on Thursday. Here, he describes what he saw:
Even before we landed, it was clear that the conflict wasn't over. I could see a column of black smoke rising up from the city.
General Murad Ali Murad, the commander in charge of the operation, said his men were in control of the city but conceded that there were still pockets of resistance.
A member of the provincial assembly I got talking to outside was much more outspoken. He said he was desperate to get back to his city but was too frightened.
"It is war", he told me. "There is so much fighting, no one can live there."
The Afghan army was worried about taking us into the city - when we finally left it was in Humvees - heavily armoured cars. But we never made it into Kunduz.
Our convoy pulled up at the outskirts of the city, where we were shown three bodies, Taliban fighters killed in a drone strike the night before, we were told.
After a couple of minutes on the ground we were bundled back into the Humvees and whisked to the waiting helicopter.
It was clear the battle for Kunduz had not yet been won.
Street battles took place all day on Thursday as government forces pushed back the insurgents who seized the city on Monday.
Clashes continued on Friday, with eyewitnesses describing seeing Taliban fighters on the streets or hiding in civilian houses.
Kunduz police chief General Mohammad Qasim Jangal Bagh told the BBC security forces were "now clearing streets of Taliban".
However, Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said: "We still control the city and expelled the government forces back to the airport".
"They have now left the city. Only a small number of troops are still present in the old police headquarter, which is under our siege."
Earlier, Taliban leader Mullah Akhtar Mansour said the militants had won a "symbolic victory" by seizing Kunduz.
Kunduz, with a population of around 300,000, is one of Afghanistan's largest cities and strategically important both as a transport hub and a bread-basket for the region.
18-year-old Gerry McDonagh has also departed to return to parent club Nottingham Forest after his loan ended.
Harrad, 32, made 18 appearances this term and scored two goals while McDonagh scored five in 21 appearances.
"We wish both players well in their future careers and thank them for their respective contributions over the past five months," a club statement said.
By then, it says debit cards will be the most common method of payment, followed by cash and direct debits.
The predictions suggest a move away from cash as people use contactless cards or devices - such as smartphones - linked to their debit card.
Non-cash payments recently overtook cash payments by shoppers and firms.
Payments UK predicts that the number of non-cash payments by consumers alone will be higher than the use of notes and coins during 2016.
The association's long-term forecasts suggest that people will move away from paying with cash to buy items such as groceries and lottery tickets online. Small-value transactions, such as newspapers and lunch, may be bought by card.
It predicts that the average adult will make 225 cash payments in 2024, compared with 345 last year. Debit card payments will typically rise from 172 to 282 over the same period, it predicts.
The figures will worry campaigners for financial inclusion, as those without access to a bank account will be without a debit card.
A recent report by the Financial Inclusion Commission found that two million adults in the UK do not have a bank account, leaving them disconnected from "the financial mains".
Take the wedding party in a small village called Raipur Bhood in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh last weekend.
The photographer, employed to immortalise the special day, was shot dead by members of the grooms' family during a celebration ahead of the marriage party when the men pulled out weapons and started firing.
Raju, known locally as Pintu, was shot in the stomach and died of his injuries in hospital later. A 17-year-old girl called Meenakshi was also shot and injured.
Celebratory gunfire isn't intended to injure or maim but Raju and Meenakshi were not the only victims that weekend.
The father of the groom at another north Indian village shot and injured a 12-year-old boy, while in a third village, a woman was injured as she watched a wedding.
Then there was the wedding party in the Alipur suburb of the capital, Delhi, earlier in the week. As the wedding celebration was in full swing, one of the guests, a man named Vikas Kumar, pulled out a shotgun and a pistol and started firing.
He loosed two shots into the air and a third at the ground. Two of the groom's friends and three members of the wedding band were shot in their legs and feet. All five were admitted to hospital.
In February alone, a total of four people were killed in celebratory firing in weddings just in the state of Uttar Pradesh.
In one incident, the groom himself was fatally wounded after one of his guests fired in the air.
Amit Rastogi was leading the traditional procession to the bride's house on a horse when he was hit in the head.
Naturally enough, celebratory gunfire is something the Indian authorities are keen to muzzle.
"Firing with guns and pistols during marriage processions has become a sort of fashion," observed a Delhi judge as he handed down a 25-month jail term to a man who fired off a rifle during his friend's wedding last year, killing the groom's uncle.
"It is high time that government tightens the procedure for grant of arms-licence and also evolves a robust mechanism to ensure these licenses are not misused," Judge Manoj Jain said.
Meanwhile, a court in the Uttar Pradesh capital, Lucknow, has ordered that every case of celebratory firing be investigated regardless of whether a case has been lodged with the police.
"Escalation of this trend has to be arrested," warned Justice SK Saxena.
Some families have responded with a no weapons policy at their weddings.
"Kind Request: Please Do Not Indulge In Celebratory Firing & Alcoholism," read the invitation that went out to the 3,000 guests of Mahirajdhwaj Singh Chandel.
"In the recent times," he explained to The Times of India, "we have witnessed that innocent lives are lost in celebratory firing, and a joyous occasion then simply transforms itself into that of a mourning."
So what on earth is going on?
Celebratory gunfire is partly a show of machismo and status, partly an alternative to fireworks, and it is not confined to north India. It is also common in Afghanistan and parts of the Middle East, Balkans and elsewhere.
Most commonly guns are fired into the air in the mistaken belief that it will avoid injuring anyone. In fact those hit by falling bullets are far more likely to suffer a fatal injury than those in a normal shooting, according to a study by doctors at a Los Angeles hospital.
The doctors identified 118 people who had been hit by falling bullets between 1985 and 1992 and found that the death rate was close to one third, compared to between 2% and 6% for those injured in regular shootings.
The bullets were travelling more slowly than those fired directly at a person but were more likely to hit victims on the head.
According to the study, a spent bullet falls back to earth at between 90 and 180 metres per second, fast enough to cause a fatal skull injury.
In 2003, the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention investigated the risks following New Year celebrations in Puerto Rico in 2003-04. It concluded that 19 injuries and one death were caused by falling bullets over a two-day period.
"Bullets are not greetings cards - celebrate without weapons," was the slogan of a TV and radio campaign in Macedonia in 2005.
The Indian authorities would be wise to undertake a similar campaign.
Ross Conlin, 29, of Farnborough, shook Kiera Conlin in a flash of anger leaving her with fatal injuries following repeated abuse, Winchester Crown Court heard.
She was taken to hospital but died the next day. He was found guilty of murder and three counts of GBH with intent.
Charges against the girl's mother, Kelly Rayner, 26, were dismissed. She denied causing or allowing her death.
Conlin, who denied all the charges, was told he would serve a minimum of 17 years in jail.
Doctors found Kiera suffered repeated abuse in the months leading up to her death, including broken ribs and skull fractures, the court heard.
There was also a "triad of injuries" associated with babies who had been shaken.
Conlin was said to have been left alone with his daughter on May Day Bank Holiday last year, while her mother was out.
He rang 999 after Kiera stopped breathing and told the operator she had been sick.
Her injuries included bleeding to the brain and the back of the eyes, and loss of oxygen to the brain.
The jury was told the couple had money worries and Mr Conlin was in trouble at his work with a debt collection agency.
He was also a cannabis and cocaine user and had been using dating sites, causing tension in the relationship.
Speaking to the BBC before the verdict, Ms Rayner's father Paul Rayner said when Conlin was arrested and the evidence was presented to the family he was "physically sick".
He said he had to watch his daughter "relive the death of her child day, after day, after day".
Following the conviction, Julia Woodward, senior crown prosecutor, said: "Kiera Conlin was only four months when she died at the hands of the man who was supposed to protect her throughout her life.
"Ross Conlin lied in evidence, stating that his daughter started to choke on her vomit after she refused to drink the bottle of milk he was giving her.
"The jury heard that the tension between the couple and the fact that Ross Conlin had issues at work, money problems and was a cocaine and drug user contributed without any doubts with his struggle to care for his daughter and added to his anger when she was difficult to care for."
Det Ch Insp Scott Clarke, the senior investigating officer, called the trial a "harrowing and difficult experience for all those involved".
He added: "[Kiera] was abused and horrendously let down by this man - her father.
"Without the abhorrent behaviour of her father, Kiera would still be alive today."
Coal use fell by a record 52% in 2016 on the previous year in the face of cheap gas, higher domestic carbon prices, renewables and other factors.
The drop was partially offset by increased emissions from oil and gas.
The results are based on analysis of government figures by the website Carbon Brief.
The Department of Energy, Business and Industrial Strategy (Beis) is due to publish its own estimates on 30 March.
One of the main reasons for the drop in coal use is the carbon price floor. This carbon tax doubled in 2015 to £18 per tonne of CO2.
In his budget on Wednesday, the Chancellor Philip Hammond is expected to set out the future path for the tax. This could have wide-ranging implications for the planned phase out of coal and the cost of low-carbon power subsidies.
Coal use has fallen by 74% since 2006 and is now 12 times below the peak of 221 millions of tonnes (Mt) burnt in 1956.
While CO2 from coal fell drastically, carbon emissions from gas increased by 12.5% in 2016 as utilities switched from burning coal. CO2 from oil also went up, by 1.6%.
Carbon emissions in 2016 reached 381 millions of tonnes (Mt) of CO2. With the exception of sharp dips caused by general strikes in the 1920s, this represents the lowest level since 1894, when Nicholas II became Tsar of Russia.

The Museum University of Navarra, built by celebrated Spanish architect Rafael Moneo, features previously unseen works by Picasso, Rothko and Kandinsky and also one of Spain's largest collections of photos from the 19th Century.
Among the collection are images, many previously unseen, from two of the most celebrated photojournalists of the Spanish Civil War, Agusti Centelles (1909-1985) and Hungarian-born Robert Capa (1913-1954).
The 1936-39 war - often referred to as the "dress rehearsal" for WW2 - pitted right-wing Nationalists against left-wing Republicans, culminating in victory for the fascist forces of General Franco.
Hungarian photographer Robert Capa built his reputation during the Spanish civil war, capturing images of anti-nationalist fighters. In the above image, he captures men and women training to use weapons. Spain's left-wing government guaranteed women and men equal rights, and women were given an active role in defending the Republic against fascism.
Agusti Centelles, who was also widely known for his images of the civil war, was often known as the Catalan Capa. In this image from the front at Aragon, in north-eastern Spain, Centelles captures the hardship of soldiers at the front line. This picture shows the versatility of the new Leica cameras. A much lighter camera than previously available, the Leica gave photographers the freedom and mobility needed to bring the scene to life.
Robert Capa always believed in photographing as close to the action as possible, and the blurred, mis-framed image above illustrates the fast pace of a scene of war. There was no time for staging this image, again from the Aragon front in the north-east in 1936.
Spain's Civil War was one of the first major conflicts to be conveyed to an international audience almost in real time. This well-known photo by Robert Capa shows a man throwing a hand grenade.
This dramatic photo by Agusti Centelles is of a Spanish militiaman. Centelles and his Leica were involved in the conflict from the very start, on the streets of Barcelona, on the front line while serving as a soldier, and then as a photojournalist. His final pictures were in an internment camp in southern France.
This 1936 picture by Robert Capa in Barcelona came after the military uprising against the Republican government. It shows militiawoman relaxing with a women's magazine, with her rifle close at hand.
Refugees, by Agusti Centelles. He bought his Leica camera in 1934, paying for it in instalments. "I wanted to hunt down the story," he once said.
"I rebelled against the tyranny of magnesium (cartridges), all photographs looking the same. I was looking for something else, to follow the story, like a detective."
Centelles eventually left Spain in 1939 with a suitcase full of 4,000 negatives, spending some time interned in a French camp at Bram before leaving for the US.
Republican assault guards on La Calle Diputacion in Barcelona, by Agusti Centelles, 1939. This is one of the best known images from Spain's Civil War. The photo shows how quickly battles erupted in the streets of Barcelona and the people depicted were real fighters on the genuine site of a battle. But the scene itself appears to have been staged after the clash was over.
It was important for the Republican government to highlight the care it was taking of the Spanish people and this photograph from the Propaganda Commissariat Propaganda shows a collection of toys for the children of Aragon.
This anonymous photo shows an avant-garde model that was used to communicate a message to Republicans - that Spaniards were united in the fight against fascism.
This collection of photographs was put together with the help of Museum University of Navarra and its curator, Ignacio Migueliz Valcarlos.
Talks have been ongoing for a decade for the capital of Britain to have a team which would play in the NBA.
"Brexit is something we monitor very closely," Silver told BBC Sport.
"I have been following Brexit but what it would mean in terms of placing a franchise in England I do not know."
Thursday's game between the Denver Nuggets and Indiana Pacers at the O2 Arena will be the seventh regular-season NBA match to take place in the United Kingdom.
It is the first time either side has played overseas during the regular season.
In 2007, previous NBA commissioner David Stern suggested there will "ultimately" be an NBA franchise in London one day.
Last June, Britain voted in a referendum to leave the EU by 52% to 48%.
Sean Corrigan, 31, died in hospital after he was found at a flat in St Mary's Gardens in September 2014.
Post mortem results indicated he may have died in suspicious circumstances.
The woman, who was arrested in west Belfast on Thursday, was released pending a report to the Public Prosecution Service.
Last month, police renewed their appeal for information about Mr Corrigan's death.
Luke Berry missed an early penalty for U's, before Doncaster went 3-0 ahead.
Goals from George Maris and Berry closed the deficit, but Rovers won 3-2 - their first victory in six matches.
"Against the top teams I bang the drum about taking your chances. In one box we weren't ruthless enough, and in the other we weren't good enough," he said.
"I see chances that have gone begging. And the other side of the game, the defensive side, it's three goals that we have conceded that are bargain basement."
Derry's squad has been hit by injuries all season, and Cambridge were without forwards Uche Ikpeazu and Barry Corr for the visit of Darren Ferguson's side.
Ben Williamson started the game up front for the U's, but failed to add to his one goal from 38 matches this season.
"We've missed some big players at key moments of our season. Against Doncaster we've missed Uche and Barry Corr and we're reliant upon a striker who's absolutely off form," said Derry.
"I'm not going to shy away from that. I see him every day in training, his character and application is exactly the same as last season, but the goals aren't there for him at the moment."
Det Con Jamal Hassan, 36, faces three counts of making an indecent photograph of a child and a further charge of perverting the course of justice.
The officer, who is based at Bedfordshire Police's Kempston HQ, appeared at Peterborough Magistrates' Court on Saturday.
The case was adjourned to a later date. Det Con Hassan is currently suspended.
The 25-year-old played for Southport and Glenavon last season, and has agreed an undisclosed-length contract.
He scored 13 League Two goals in 68 appearances during a three-year spell at Accrington between 2012 and 2015.
"If he keeps up his work ethic he's the type of player our fans will take to, and will do well in our environment," said Gulls player-boss Kevin Nicholson.

The 23-year-old wing, who has won seven international caps, has scored nine tries in 30 outings for Quins since joining from London Irish in 2014.
"Marland is a young man with boundless potential and we will work with him to make sure he fulfils it," director of rugby Conor O'Shea said.
"We know within this group he will go from strength to strength."
Harlequins have not disclosed the length of Yarde's new deal.
St Lucia-born Yarde said it was "an easy decision" to extend his contract with the 2012 Premiership champions.
"Since joining, I've enjoyed being part of a great team with some exceptional players," he added. "We have a side that is truly capable of beating anyone and I'm excited to be a part of that."
Yarde made his England debut against Argentina in 2013 but he was not included in the 31-man squad for the World Cup earlier this year.
The #rideforolivia tribute was launched following the death of Australian Olivia Inglis, 17, in a fall on Sunday.
Hundreds of thousands of social media users from dozens of countries have been posting and sharing photos of their own horses using the hashtag.
Olympic gold medallist Charlotte Dujardin is among the high-profile figures to have joined in the tributes.
Fellow British dressage rider and gold medallist Carl Hester has also paid tribute.
The movement echoes a similar social campaign to mark the death of Australian cricketer Phillip Hughes in 2014.
The hashtags #putoutyourbats and #putyourbatsout were tweeted and shared across platforms such as Instagram and Facebook along with photos of cricket bats.
As of 08:00GMT on Thursday, more than 120,000 people had posted photographs and videos for #rideforolivia on Instagram alone.
The images will be used to create a mosaic of Olivia for her family, following a call from the bloodstock company which her family runs.
"We have been overwhelmed by the kindness and sympathy from family and friends throughout the school, equestrian and thoroughbred communities," parents Arthur and Charlotte said in a family statement.
The US Congress approved the New Start treaty on Wednesday, when reluctant Republicans were won over.
The Speaker of Russia's State Duma (lower house), Boris Gryzlov, said MPs might approve the pact on Friday.
Under the deal, Russia and the US will cut deployed nuclear warheads by 30%.
President Medvedev hopes that the Duma and the upper house, the Federation Council, "will be ready to consider and ratify that document", a Kremlin spokeswoman said.
US President Barack Obama and Mr Medvedev had "agreed to synchronise the ratification process", Natalya Timakova added.
Russia's upper house will not approve it before the new year. Mr Gryzlov said the Russian parliament would first check that the US Senate's ratification motion had not changed the text of the agreement.
Earlier, President Obama said the treaty was the most important such deal in almost 20 years.

The Senate approved it by 71 votes to 26 after months of wrangling.
"This is the most significant arms control agreement in nearly two decades and it will make us safer and reduce our nuclear arsenals along with Russia," Mr Obama said.
He said the vote also showed that the US political process was not doomed to "endless gridlock".
"The strong bi-partisan vote in the Senate sends a powerful signal to the world that Republicans and Democrats stand together on behalf of our security," he said.
Thirteen Republican Senators voted with the Democrats during Wednesday's vote.
However top Republicans, including Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, John McCain and Jon Kyl, had opposed ratification saying the treaty could compromise security and the US missile defence strategy.
Correspondents say the ratification will be seen as a foreign policy success for Mr Obama.
He has argued that ratification of New Start is vital to US national security and made the agreement a key plank of the president's much-heralded "re-set" of relations with Russia.
After the vote, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said in a statement: "A responsible partnership between the world's two largest nuclear powers that limits our nuclear arsenals while maintaining strategic stability is imperative to promoting global security."
The New Start treaty, which will replace its lapsed predecessor, Start (Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty), was signed by the two presidents in April 2010.
It trims US and Russian nuclear arsenals to 1,550 deployed nuclear warheads - a cut of about 30% from a limit set eight years ago.
The treaty would also allow each side visually to inspect the other's nuclear capability, with the aim of verifying how many warheads each missile carries.
A previous inspection regime - part of the old Start treaty - expired a year ago.
In addition, there will be legally binding limits on the number of warheads and missiles that can be deployed on land, on submarines, and on bombers, at any one time.
Experts looked at deaths in men and women of all ages in Glasgow, Liverpool and Manchester from 1980 to 2011.
They said the results for women born in the 1970s should be a "warning signal" about their drinking habits.
They say minimum pricing, shelved this week as a plan to tackle binge drinking by the government in England and Wales, would help address the issue.
Almost 9,000 people die from conditions related to alcohol each year in the UK.
This study, detailed in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, looked at patterns of alcohol-related mortality in the three cities, which all have similar patterns of deprivation, poor health and industrialisation.
It compared trends in alcohol-related deaths of people born between 1910 and 1979.
Overall, men were much more likely to die from alcohol-related disease than women - and the age range most affected was people in their 40s and 50s.
But while rates have plateaued or even fallen slightly for the majority, that is not true for the youngest group of women - those born in the 1970s - for whom the death rate actually increased in all three cities.
A "snapshot" example cited by the researchers compares death rates for women born in different cohorts when they reached the age of 34.
For those born in the 1950s, it was a rate of eight per 100,000; for those born in the 1960s - 14 per 100,000, while for those born in the 1970s it rose to 20 per 100,000.
However for men, comparable figures showed a recent decrease.
For the 1950s cohort it was 22 per 100,000 rising to 38 per 100,000 in the 1960s - but falling to 30 per 100,000 for the 1970s.
Sally Marlow, from the Institute of Psychiatry at Kings College London, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme the report was the first indicator there may be a "ticking time bomb" of alcohol problems in women.
She said women born in the 1970s would have started drinking during the rise of the "ladette culture" in the 1990s.
"We had women very out there, embracing male behaviours - one of which was excessive drinking," she said.
She added that women suffer greater levels of harm than men at lower levels of drinking, meaning they more vulnerable to developing alcohol-related problems such as liver disease.
Writing in the journal, the team led by Dr Deborah Shipton, said it was "imperative that this early warning sign is acted upon".
"Failure to have a policy response to this new trend may result in the effects of this increase being played out for decades to come."
The team behind the report suggests that cheaper alcohol, which is more widely available, combined with better marketing and longer drinking hours will all have played their part in fuelling the problem.
Dr Shipton told the BBC it was "a shame" minimum pricing had been rejected in England and Wales.
She said it was one measure which would help tackle the problem, although it would not address the "deep-rooted cultural influences at play".
A spokesman for the Department of Health said the chief medical officer was currently looking at alchol unit information to see if it could be made more helpful to consumers.
He added: "DH spokesperson said: "We know that more action is needed to raise awareness of the dangers of alcohol.
"That's why we're banning alcohol sales below the level of duty plus VAT to are tackle the worst cases of super cheap and harmful alcohol, meaning it will no longer be legal to sell a can of ordinary lager for less than around 40p.
"We're also strengthening the ban on irresponsible promotions in pubs and clubs and challenging industry to increase its efforts through the responsibility deal. "
Scotland's government is still committed to bringing in a minimum price of 50p per unit.
However the law will not be implemented until legal proceedings, brought by the Scotch Whisky Association, are complete.
Northern Ireland is yet to put forward a specific proposal, although it is reviewing pricing.

Sophie Bray opened the scoring for England against the reigning European champions before Danson added a second.
Kristina Hillmann pulled one back for Germany but Danson added two more to seal an emphatic victory.
England will face Spain, who are also unbeaten, in Friday's semi-finals, while Germany play the Netherlands.
"Germany are a quality side so we knew we had to bring our A-game," said Reading's Danson.
"We're absolutely delighted with the win.
"It was a fantastic first half particularly. Going two goals up so early held us in good stead for the rest of the game."
Meanwhile, Scotland avoided finishing bottom of Pool B with a 3-1 win against Italy.
After a goalless first half, Leigh Fawcett scored just 51 seconds after half-time following a penalty corner before Becky Merchant doubled the lead on her 100th cap from close range.
Seconds later Chiara Tiddi halved Italy's deficit, only for Kareena Marshall to restore Scotland's two-goal advantage with a low shot from another penalty corner.

Webb, 33, was appointed O's manager on Sunday after Andy Edwards resigned to take a youth coaching job with England.
Former Arsenal trainee Riza, 37, and sports scientist Amoah will now work alongside the former Southend striker.
"From the outside it looks like a very inexperienced staff, but they know how I work," Webb told BBC Radio London.
"The players are buying into training and what we are trying to get across to them."
Orient are 23rd in the League Two table, one point from safety, but with a game in hand on four of the five sides above them.
Webb takes charge of his first game on Saturday, when Carlisle are the visitors to the Matchroom Stadium.
"If we can keep them in the Football League it will be a good achievement for everyone," Webb added.
"Regardless of the poor results and where we are in the table we have some good players, some good fans and a good stadium. We shouldn't be written off yet."
This means that after four years, about two teaspoons of sugar will have been removed from a can of fizzy drink.
A gradual reduction in calories and sweetness in drinks is the best way to cut sugar intake in the UK population, the group says.
Public Health England said other drinks brands should now follow Tesco's lead.
But the British Soft Drinks Association maintains that a number of companies have been reducing calories in their soft drinks for some time.
Recent figures show that over the last three years, calories in soft drinks are down by 7.3% and sugar is down by 8.3%.
Yet some sugary drinks still contain as much as 11 teaspoons of sugar in one 330ml can.
In a can of Tesco's classic cola there are nine teaspoons of sugar and in Tesco's fiery ginger beer there are 11 teaspoons of sugar.
Pepsi and Coca-Cola cans also contain nine teaspoons of sugar.
Old Jamaica Ginger Beer - 50.2g or 13 teaspoons
Fentimans Traditional Rose Lemonade - 38.6g or 10 teaspoons
7Up - 36.3g or 9 teaspoons
Tesco classic cola - 36g or 9 teaspoons
Coca-Cola - 35g or 9 teaspoons
Pepsi - 35g or 9 teaspoons
Barr's Irn Bru - 34g or 8 teaspoons
Tesco original cola - 32g or 8 teaspoons
Fanta Orange - 22.8g or 6 teaspoons
Source: Action on Sugar
With a 5% reduction every year over four years, Tesco's actions could result in 21kcal being removed from the average daily diet - or 477 billion calories from the total UK diet.
At present, the target for the maximum recommended daily amount of sugar is 25g for women (five to six teaspoons) and 35g (seven to eight teaspoons) for men, based on the average diet.
Prof Graham MacGregor, chairman of Action on Sugar, and professor of cardiovascular medicine at Queen Mary University London, says the supermarket chain's decision to commit to an incremental reduction in added sugars is really important.
"Merely having the option of diet or no-sugar products does not work, particularly for the most socially deprived.
"This is the way to do it. Now the pressure will be on other supermarkets and other brands to follow suit," he said.
He said gradually reducing calories in all sweetened drinks would help to reduce levels of type 2 diabetes and cut obesity in the UK population.
A similar strategy for the incremental reduction of salt content in food led to a 15% fall in salt intakes in the UK and fewer deaths from strokes and heart attacks, Prof MacGregor added.
Dr Alison Tedstone, chief nutritionist at Public Health England, said "reformulation" of food and drink products is a highly effective way of helping people to reduce sugar in their diet.
"We urge other drinks brands and supermarkets to follow in Tesco's footsteps.
"As a nation we are eating too much sugar which leads to weight gain and obesity, increasing our risk of life-threatening illnesses such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease."
PHE said the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition (SACN) was currently finalising its recommendations on sugar and would publish them later in the year.
Gavin Partington, director general of the British Soft Drinks Association, says diet drinks now make up 60% of the soft drinks market.
He added that other supermarkets had also been getting in on the act of reducing sugar content.
Sainsbury's has reduced the sugar content of its own-brand high juice squashes by between 4% and 10%, the Co-Operative Group has removed 1.5 billion calories from its range of own-branded squashes and ASDA is set to reduce added sugar by 22% across a range of its own-brand soft drinks.
The man, who is aged in his 40s, was taken to hospital with serious injuries after the attack at a house in Vicarage Hill, Westerham, on Sunday.
Kent Police said the injuries inflicted by the dogs were not life threatening.
Officers in riot gear contained the animals in one room of the property before they were removed.
The animals were then sedated by specialists, assisted by an RSPCA inspector and an independent vet.
Firearms officers were called to the scene and the road outside the property was closed temporarily to "ensure public safety".
In a statement, Kent Police said the dogs, believed to be bullmastiffs, belonged to the man's friend.
It added: "Five dogs believed to be bullmastiffs have been safely removed from the property and work to ensure their welfare is ongoing by police and partner agencies.
"We are managing the dogs' welfare but it is too soon to say what will happen to them."
Car parks at beauty spots such as the Quiraing were closed on Monday, and are expected to be shut again for a time on Tuesday for a film crew.
Islanders have been told that the production is for Transformers: The Last Knight.
To be released in cinemas next June, it stars Laura Haddock, Sir Anthony Hopkins and Mark Wahlberg.
It has been suggested the fifth outing of the franchise about giant battling robots has a connection to the legend of King Arthur.
On Skye, actors have been seen wearing medieval garb and riding horses.
On Monday, car parks and also areas of land at the Quiraing and The Storr on the Trotternish Peninsula were closed to the public for filming.
Lealt Quarry is also thought to be being used by the film crew, and a helicopter has been seen flying over that location with a camera attached.
Scenes for other big budget features, including The BFG and Prometheus, have previously been shot on Skye.
Earlier this year a UK-wide review said that although the service at the Royal Belfast Hospital for Sick Children is safe, it is not sustainable.
It could mean that children would have to travel to England for treatment.
But the BBC understands cross-border discussions are ongoing about the possibility of developing an all-Ireland service.
Last month, Stormont Health Minister Edwin Poots said he was reviewing the future of local paediatric heart surgery provision as a direct result of the conclusions of the UK-wide review.
The outcome of his review could mean children and families having to travel to England for treatment.
Those involved have argued that would be devastating, and would place great stress on parents and children.
The cross-border call was made by the Children's Heartbeat Trust, which said almost 10,000 people have signed an online petition calling for the retention of the surgery in Belfast.
Sarah Quinlan, from the Children's Heartbeat Trust, said: "Our aim is to keep children's heart surgical services in Belfast, working as part of an all-Ireland network with Dublin, because sending all children who need interventional procedures for congenital heart disease to England is simply unacceptable."
She said the Children's Heartbeat Trust's position is that surgery must continue in Belfast as part of an all-Ireland network operating between Belfast and Dublin.
This would ensure the retention of the service and required a closer working relationship with Our Lady's Hospital in Crumlin.
Joanne Clifford, whose son Liam, 2, was born with a heart defect that needed surgery, said: "The clinicians and surgical team at the Clark Clinic at the Royal Belfast Hospital for Sick Children have been first class and Liam enjoys life as any toddler does.
"The idea that we would have had to travel to England for this treatment is simply unimaginable - not only would this have placed huge emotional stress on our family, separating us from all family support and our son undergoing complex surgery many miles from home, but the financial pressure would also have been enormous."
Liam Turner, 15, from Gilnahirk, has been treated for a heart defect in Belfast.
"Having a heart defect means I get tired and breathless very easily. I wouldn't want to have to go to England for my treatment and be so far away from my friends, family and school," he said.
"Undergoing surgery is bad enough, but not being able to have it in Belfast would make it so much worse."
The group plans to hold a series of meetings across Northern Ireland in September and October.
Congenital heart disease is the most common birth defect in Northern Ireland, affecting more than 250 babies a year.
Pompey secured automatic promotion from League Two earlier this month, and still have a chance to win the title with two games remaining.
Cook is set to decide on the future of his out-of-contract players, but suggested many will remain next season.
"I can't see many shocks when it comes to publishing our retained list," he told BBC Radio Solent.
Club captain Michael Doyle, Enda Stevens and Kyle Bennett are among a number of first-team players whose deals expire this summer.
But Cook says adding depth to the squad will be his main focus over the close season.
"We want to get stronger and to do that, you have to have bigger squads, more players and invest in your infrastructure," he said.
"Portsmouth want to get back to a level in the football pyramid where we belong and to do that, we've got to have a lot of factors in our favour.
"But, if we had to play a game in League One tomorrow and I had to go in with the squad I've got now, would it faze me? No, it wouldn't.
"That speaks volumes for all the players at this club."
Third-placed Portsmouth, who are four points behind leaders Doncaster, travel to Mansfield on Saturday before hosting Cheltenham in their last League Two game on 6 May.

The Foxes are 15th and just two points above the relegation zone following a 2-1 defeat at the Stadium of the Light.
Their return of 13 points after 14 games is the worst record of any defending Premier League champions.
"It's difficult. We miss everything," Ranieri said.
"Everything last season was right, starting with luck; this season, everything is wrong.
"But we must continue to work hard and maintain the right balance in ourselves, believe in ourselves. The battle is long, but that's football, sport."
Leicester have not led away from home all season and fell behind midway through the second half against Sunderland when Robert Huth diverted a corner into his own net.
Jermain Defoe added a second for the hosts and although Shinji Okazaki pulled one back for the Foxes, they could not find an equaliser.
"We wanted to get points here but of course it was a relegation battle. They won, well done to them," Ranieri added.
"I said two, three weeks ago, always I look behind me. We are in the battle of relegation. For this reason we must stay calm, together and continue to work hard."
Jamie Vardy's poor form in front of goal continued as the England striker failed to score for a 16th successive game in all competitions for Leicester.
"Look, for me, he works well, hard," Ranieri said.
"Of course the goals are important, but I believe in him and sooner or later, he will start to score goals."
In 2011, the star played the solar-powered Croissant Neuf stage, playing "to about 500 people".
On Sunday, he closed the festival, attracting a much younger audience than Friday and Saturday's headliners, Radiohead and Foo Fighters.
The 26-year-old admitted he was "very nervous but very excited" to be there.
"For those of you who haven't seen one of my shows before or haven't heard one of my songs, please pretend that you know them," he told the audience.
"For those of you who have, please sing all of the words."
"The aim of tonight is to lose our voices," he added. "I'm going to lose mine as well."
The audience took him up on the challenge; joining in wistfully as he sang the ballads Photograph and Thinking Out Loud.
They didn't quite keep up, however, with the spittle-flecked Take It Back - a whirlwind of wordplay in which Sheeran declared: "I'm not a rapper, I'm a singer with a flow."
The star played, as he usually does, without a band; using a loop pedal to layer his vocal and guitar lines and create a backing track live, on the spot.
This created problems during Bloodstream when his guitar slipped out of tune but, for the most part, the sound was impressive: Sheeran can build up or break down a song at will, a skill honed by years of relentless gigging in his teens.
Highlights included The A-Team, which he sang illuminated by the audience, who held their phones aloft, creating the impression of 80,000 fireflies bobbing around the fields of Worthy Farm.
Sheeran also invited traditional Irish band Beoga on stage to accompany him on Nancy Mulligan, a song about his paternal grandmother.
It was a moment that reeked of cheese but, watched from the side of the stage by his grandfather, Sheeran made it seem genuine.
This is the secret to his appeal. His brand of pop can be innocuous and twee - but Sheeran sells it with an earnest, everyman shtick that demolishes the divide between artist and audience.
However you respond to his music, it is clear he strikes a chord, especially with the YouTube generation who prioritise relatability over the preening mannerisms of, say, Mick Jagger.
Sheeran exploits it effortlessly. On headlining Glastonbury, he told the crowd: "I'd like to say it was a dream of mine, but I never thought I'd get to the point where I was playing this stage, let alone headlining it."
And to Glastonbury itself, Sheeran's appeal to under-30s is paramount: those are the fans the festival needs to replenish its audience and survive.
That's why this year saw more pop and grime acts than ever, from Charli XCX to Katy Perry; from Wiley to Stormzy.
On Sunday, the festival also saw sets from Royal Blood, Courteeners, Foo Fighters, The Jacksons, Radiohead and The Killers - who played a secret show on the John Peel stage on Sunday evening.
"They say you play the John Peel Stage twice in your career - once on the way up, and once on the way down," said frontman Brandon Flowers.
"It's great to be back."
Earlier in the day, the Pyramid Stage briefly turned into Studio 54, with consecutive sets from Bee Gee Barry Gibb and funk band Chic drawing one of the biggest crowds of the weekend.
And LA band Haim literally brought the audience at The Other Stage to its knees.
The band, who were debuting songs from their new album, Something To Tell You, encouraged the crowd to dance lower and lower towards the ground until, eventually, they were lying down on the grass.
"All I wanted was a dance party," bassist Este Haim told the BBC afterwards, "and then Glastonbury danced with me. We tangoed."
Sunday also saw sets from Shaggy, Emeli Sande, London Grammar and Biffy Clyro, who threw down the gauntlet to Sheeran with a ferocious volley of rock riffs on the Pyramid Stage.
There is no Glastonbury in 2018, meaning that there are 731 days until Worthy Farm opens its gates again.
The cows will be pleased.

Rex, a black Labrador, is the "top dog" in the K9 (canine) unit of Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP), security officials told the BBC.
Rex was a part of the team of 20 dogs which was used to secure the venue of the recent India-Africa summit.
The K9 unit is regularly used for anti-sabotage work at big-ticket events.
"At the venue of the India-Africa summit, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's security officials planted five grams (1/10th of an ounce) of RDX explosives under his chair as part of the security drill," a senior police official told the BBC.
"Rex found it in two minutes. The PM's security was overjoyed," he said.
Officials say the K9 unit is routinely deployed to sniff out explosives and secure venues during high-profile events and visits by foreign leaders.
The dogs were used during "Operation ObMo" (when US President Barack Obama visited Delhi and met PM Modi), "Operation Doga" (International Yoga Day), and during the Independence Day and Republic Day celebrations, they said. | With just 32 days to go until Americans choose a new president, we bring you all the latest campaign news, plus a look at the voting bloc that seems to have been overlooked (perhaps with good reason) - the British.

The corporation said it "reported Sir Cliff's full denial of the allegations... at every stage".
It said it "stands by the decision to report the investigation... and the search of his property".
Last week prosecutors said the singer would face no charges.
Sir Cliff told Tuesday's Daily Mail he is considering suing the BBC.
The singer said in the interview that the BBC "have a lot to answer for" for broadcasting the raid live on TV.
"Somebody has to teach them a lesson and if it's done by suing, let's do it," he said.
"And the same with South Yorkshire Police. They have damaged me in a great way," he added.
"The BBC is very sorry that Sir Cliff Richard, who has worked as a musician and performer for so many years with the organisation, has suffered distress.
The BBC's responsibility is to report fully stories that are in the public interest.
Police investigations into prominent figures in public life are, of course, squarely in the public interest, which is why they have been reported by all news organisations in this country.
Once the South Yorkshire Police had confirmed the investigation and Sir Cliff Richard's identity and informed the BBC of the timing and details of the search of his property, it would neither have been editorially responsible nor in the public interest to choose not to report fully the investigation into Sir Cliff Richard because of his public profile.
The BBC, at every stage, reported Sir Cliff's full denial of the allegations.
The BBC, therefore, stands by the decision to report the investigation undertaken by the South Yorkshire Police and the search of his property.
Sir Cliff has made the argument that the identity of people under investigation into historic allegations should not be made public until they are charged.
This view raises significant questions about the scrutiny of the police and public confidence that allegations are investigated.
That said, we respect the fact that he is making an important statement in the debate over balancing privacy rights with the public interest.
Ultimately, though, deciding whether people should remain anonymous while the subject of a police investigation is a matter for Parliament.
The Home Affairs Select Committee reviewed the editorial decisions made by the BBC and concluded 'we see nothing wrong in their decision to run the story'."
The raid was part of an investigation into claims made by four men who alleged offences took place between 1958 and 1983.
The Crown Prosecution Service said it had decided there was "insufficient evidence to prosecute".
Sir Cliff said he was "obviously thrilled that the vile accusations and the resulting investigation have finally been brought to a close".
BBC cameras and a reporter were outside the gates to Sir Cliff's property in Sunningdale, Berkshire when police officers arrived to search his home in August 2014.
A cameraman in a helicopter also filmed it.
In his first interview since the investigation ended, Sir Cliff said the BBC's filming of the raid was an "unforgiveable" invasion into his privacy.
"They must be thinking I will sue them. Once, I would have been reluctant. It's tempting to forget the whole thing, but people like myself are in a very privileged position to possibly change things so it doesn't happen to anyone else," he told The Mail.
Last year, an independent investigation concluded that South Yorkshire Police should not have released "highly confidential" information to the BBC about a planned search of Sir Cliff Richard's home.
In a statement, South Yorkshire Police apologised "wholeheartedly for the additional anxiety caused" to Sir Cliff by the force's "initial handling of the media interest" in its investigation.
"The police have apologised, but the BBC hasn't, and it owes me that," Sir Cliff told the newspaper.
"What it did to me was shameful. No one should have to go through what I did.
"My name was plastered everywhere before I was even questioned. When they broke into the apartment, I had no idea why. None at all. Later, they [the BBC] even boasted that the raid on my home was the news scoop of the year."
But Sir Cliff said he does not want "heads to roll" or "revenge".
"I want to be able to say: 'The BBC should never have done this'," he said.
Sir Cliff's friend of 45 years, broadcaster Gloria Hunniford, told BBC Radio 5 live's Nicky Campbell he has "never really been back" to the apartment.
She said he has been affected both mentally and physically by the two-year investigation.
Sir Cliff found that "when he started playing tennis again, which he loves and that's his way of keeping fit, all the strength had gone from his body completely".
Hunniford encouraged him to "live his life and be joyous" now the investigation is over, but said he still feels "angry with (South) Yorkshire Police and the BBC". | The BBC has said it is "very sorry" Sir Cliff Richard "suffered distress" after its coverage of the 2014 police raid on his home, over historical allegations of sex abuse. | 36,584,749 | 1,075 | 41 | false |
Anna Dart invoked the legendary Lady Godiva by mounting her white horse, dressed only in body paint, to call for a halt on the Javelin Park scheme.
She claims carcinogenic compounds could enter the food chain should the plant go into operation.
Gloucestershire County Council said it was unable to comment.
The incinerator project attracted strong opposition and was only approved following a public inquiry.
Ms Dart, from Minchinhampton, began her ride, with her face disguised as a Mexican "Day of the Dead" character, as part of a "Toxin Free" rally at the Cross in Gloucester.
She said: "I was terrified the night before, but it went well and there were about 100 people there.
"I wasn't too uncomfortable thankfully, although it was quite cold.
"I feel strongly about this because it's completely irresponsible and burning waste, especially plastics, creates dioxins and furans, two of the most toxic and carcinogenic compounds known to man.
"Incinerator filters regularly fail, and some of these particles cannot be filtered at all so they are breathed in and also passed from grazing animals into the food chain."
Sarah Lunnon, who is stepping down from her role as Green county councillor for Stroud on Thursday, said the scheme was a waste of taxpayers' money.
She said: "It will reduce recycling locally and is a really dirty way of producing electricity."
On its website contractor Urbaser Balfour Beatty said: "The Gloucestershire Energy from Waste plant now under construction will massively reduce the council's dependence on landfilling, whilst recovering value from the waste in the form of electricity, and recyclable metals and aggregate."
Barry Kirby, deputy leader of the Labour group on the county council, said: "The incinerator has been pushed through without common democracy.
"It's been 10 years in procurement and technology has moved on, we should not be closed to new options that use the best technology available."
Conservative councillor for Hardwicke, Tony Blackburn, who is standing down from his post, said there was a lot of feeling against the incinerator locally and he had tried to fight it from within the group.
He said: "It's the wrong process and the wrong scheme."
The Liberal Democrats have been asked to comment.
