It was 14:30 when David Hogg heard the first shot. | By Owen AmosBBC News, Parkland, Florida
The 17-year-old was in environmental science class at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, Florida. The teacher had just passed out worksheets.
When he heard the bang, his classmates turned to each other. That sounded like a gun, they said.
The teacher closed the door. Within seconds, the fire alarm went off.
"We instinctively walked outside," says David. "We thought it was a drill."
As David's class walked towards the evacuation zone, they saw a "tsunami" of people running towards them. They turned and followed the crowd down the corridor.
What they didn't realise was this: they were heading towards the shooter.
"A very heroic janitor stopped us," says David. "He said, 'Don't go that way - he [the shooter] is over there'."
After they turned round, Ashley Kurth - the teacher in charge of the culinary programme, known in school as Chef Kurth - funnelled the crowd into her own classroom.
"Within 30 seconds she easily had 30 or 40 people in there," says David. The lights were switched off.
One girl had a panic attack, and was given water. But, says David, most people were "relatively calm".
Then news of the shooting filtered through on their phones.
David's younger sister is also a student at Stoneman Douglas. "I knew she was alive - at least in the beginning," he says.
"I had a text from her, and a call. She was very frantic. I was petrified but I knew she was on the other side of the school [away from the shooter]."
David called his dad, a former FBI agent, who told him to stay calm. Other pupils called their parents, saying they loved them.
But, says David, there wasn't much crying. "There was a group energy that kept us strong. There was a melancholy calm."
David is a student journalist, so started interviewing people, using his phone to record them.
"I figured, if I died, at least this [the recording] would be passed on to other people, so these voices would echo on."
David tried to stay calm and help others. The classroom had two doors: if the shooter entered one, he thought, they could escape through another.
But he knew that might not be enough. "I realised I may not survive," he says. "It was going through everybody's minds at some point."
After around an hour, five members of a police Swat team burst into the classroom. They told people to get down, and put their hands up.
When they were allowed to stand up, they walked out of the classroom, then started running. Their hands were still in the air.
"At this time, they hadn't eradicated the suspect," says David. "We didn't know that, but they didn't have him. We were quite frankly running for our lives."
When he reached safety, David says he felt "shock - pure shellshock". He found his dad, and his sister. One of her friends was killed.
In the early hours of Thursday, David was still outside the school where 17 people died hours earlier.
"I feel a mix of anger, sadness, but mostly passion," he says.
"I don't want this to ever happen to anyone else again. The fact is there are 17 families that now have empty rooms…
"These are people's kids. They've poured all the love, everything they could ever get, into these kids. And it's all been taken by one piece of metal, and bled out onto the floor."

A busy Rhondda road has fully reopened after a hole the size of a large skip was discovered below the surface. | Rhondda Cynon Taf council said "a major void" measuring six cubic metres was found under the A4058 in Hopkinstown near Pontypridd.
Traffic faced major disruption over the weekend due to a partial road closure for essential repair work by Welsh Water.
The council said the carriageway was now open.

A court in Indonesia has jailed for 20 years Umar Patek, the man accused of making the bombs which killed more than 200 people in Bali in 2002. Among those killed were 88 Australians - and among those who survived was Peter Hughes, from Perth. | By Duncan KennedyBBC News, Perth
"I was just ordering a drink at the bar, when the first blast went off. I thought it might have been gas explosion," he recalls.
He said he found himself dazed by the explosion and staggered outside.
"It was a bit like a war zone," he says. "There were people who's hair was smoking and others with their clothing shredded."
But the horror wasn't over.
"Then there was a second blast, a car bomb, I think and that created more chaos. I knew I was injured, but I didn't feel any pain. I just remember seeing lots off bodies everywhere. You don't forget that," he said.
The hours and days ahead would reveal that there would be 202 bodies, nearly all tourists, drawn to Bali on the promise of a few days or weeks in Paradise.
"I'll never forget 12 October 2002," says Peter. "We were supposed to have a few drinks with some friends. I still can't believe what happened, it's like living someone else's experience."
At his new, white-walled, apartment in central Perth, Peter pulls out a large brown book.
It's his Bali photograph album, filled with the images, articles and headlines of the attack and nearly each one featuring Peter, himself, in its aftermath.
In one photo he's unrecognisable, his face bloated by the ferocity of the debris hitting his face during the attack.
In another, the only bits of his body visible are his finger and toe tips, everything else is covered with bandages as part of the hospital attempts to heal his burns.
"I had to be put into a coma for a month," he says. "To reduce the pressure on my brain. It's taken 10 years to get fully well."
At that point Peter lifts the trouser on his left leg to reveal a deeply scarred calf. He then lifts his shirt to show me where a shard of glass lacerated his stomach.
"I was covered in so many cuts and wounds, these are just the worst ones," he says.
"I feel lucky," says Peter, in one unexpected comment.
"I don't get many nightmares, or flashbacks and I don't mind asking about it as I feel it's better to be open about what I went through."
Peter Hughes hasn't been a bystander to the trial of Umar Patek.
At the request of the authorities, he travelled to Indonesia to give a witness impact statement to the judges.
"I didn't want to go," he says. "But I felt I owed it to the families of those killed, to give them a connection between those who lived and those who died."
It was a painful process.
Peter came face to face with Umar Patek in the courtroom, sitting just a few paces apart from each other.
"I just said what I wanted to say," says Peter. "I said that the bombings had left me feeling isolated, depressed, lonely, but, above all, very, very angry."
His opinion of Patek, himself, is equally stark.
"He's nothing, just a coward," he says.
You don't have to spend too much time in Peter's company to feel his intensity.
He admits that he's gone from being a carefree, 42-year-old man who went to Bali as part of his everyday mission to enjoy himself, to being a more introverted 52-year-old, somewhat reflective and much more serious.
"I have changed, but I try to just live my life as best I can," he says.
During his extended period of convalescence, Peter has immersed himself not only in his own construction company, but also in setting up a burns foundation to help people caught in fires.
"I don't have feelings of guilt, like some people who survive horrific experiences," he says. "But I do feel as though I have to give something back and the Burns Foundation helps me do that."
With the end of the trial and the 10th anniversary of the bombing approaching, Peter finds himself in a contemplative frame of mind.
"I try not to be bitter, I try to see the best in people, but I also see the worst," he says.
"I am, by nature, an aggressive person, but the Bali attacks helped make me a more humane person, a more compassionate one. I think the experience has actually made me a better person."

Gambian Justice Minister Abubacarr Tambadou's actions brought Aung San Suu Kyi to The Hague to deny that her country's military was committing a genocide. As the UN's highest court orders measures to prevent further mass killings, Anna Holligan takes a look at the man taking on the Nobel laureate. | It was an unexpected detour that led Abubacarr Tambadou from his home in the tiny West African country of The Gambia to experience an epiphany on the edge of a refugee camp in Cox's Bazar.
Listening to survivors' stories he said the "stench of genocide" began drifting across the border into Bangladesh from Myanmar.
"I realised how much more serious it was than the flashes we'd seen on television screens," he told the BBC.
"Military and civilians would organise systematic attacks against Rohingya, burn down houses, snatch babies from their mothers' arms and throw them alive into burning fires, round up and execute men; girls were gang-raped and put through all types of sexual violence."
The Rohingya are a Muslim minority in mainly Buddhist Myanmar.
'Just like Rwanda'
These chilling scenes reminded Mr Tambadou of events in Rwanda during the 1994 genocide that claimed the lives of about 800,000 people.
"It sounded very much like the kind of acts that were perpetrated against the Tutsi in Rwanda.
"It was the same modus operandi - the process of dehumanisation, calling them names - it bore all the hallmarks of genocide.
"I concluded in my own mind, it was an attempt by Myanmar authorities to completely destroy the Rohingya ethnic group."
Myanmar has denied committing a genocide and this week released an "executive summary" of a government investigation which characterizes the mass killings as a "haphazard" response by the military to attacks by Muslim militants.
Released a few days before the ICJ ruling, it appears to be an attempt to clear the authorities of any "intent", which is central to defining the crime of genocide.
In court, Aung San Suu Kyi argued that this domestic investigation negates the need for any international intervention.
For Mr Tambadou, doing nothing was never an option.
"This is about our humanity after all," his voice rose as he spoke.
"On a personal level I'm disgusted by what I have heard and seen. Professionally I thought Myanmar should be held responsible for these actions [and] a way to do that was to bring a case to the International Court of Justice."
After the ICJ sided with him and ordered measure to prevent the genocide, he told the BBC's Focus on Africa programme that he was "very, very pleased".
"I think this represents a triumph of international law and international justice. And it is the international community - as represented by the ICJ - saying in the strongest of terms that genocide will not be accepted under any circumstances by any perpetrators."
For this former prosecutor at the UN's Rwanda tribunal to have found himself himself in a displacement camp in Bangladesh pondering what to do was not a coincidence but a matter of "divine destiny".
Myanmar stands accused of violating the genocide convention. Any one of the 149 countries which have signed the treaty could have instigated the case but it was The Gambia, under the direction of Mr Tambadou, that took the initiative, backed by the Organisation of Islamic Co-operation, a group of 57 mainly Muslim countries.
Find out more about what happened in Myanmar:
The Gambia asked the ICJ to make an emergency ruling on its request for provisional measures which are designed to prevent any further acts of violence or destruction and preserve any evidence of genocidal acts against the Rohingya Muslim population.
'Fearless'
Simon Adams, head of the humans rights organisation Global Centre for the Responsibility to Protect, said there was only one man with the courage, skills and humanity to try to hold Myanmar accountable for the alleged atrocities.
"Some were afraid of retaliation from the Chinese," he said.
"Others said it wasn't a good time, was too politically risky. [But] I was impressed by his fearlessness. He realised what would be coming pressure-wise but he was developing a strategy to deal with it."
This agility was developed during Mr Tambadou's early years.
Born in 1972, he grew up in The Gambia's capital, Banjul, as one of the middle children among 18 siblings.
It was a traditional polygamous Muslim family and his father had three wives.
As a young man he excelled in sport, winning caps for his country in football. "I was not a bad player," he modestly conceded.
Close friends persecuted
The 47-year-old described his childhood as "lucky". His middle-class family could pay for both a private secondary school education at home, as well as a British university degree.
Afraid of disappointing his father, he abandoned his sporting aspirations and chose a more academic path.
"I'd never intended to study law. But... the first university place I got offered was to do a law degree [at Warwick University] and so I had a career deviation."
After graduating, he returned home and initially worked as a public prosecutor.
Increasingly conscious of the political situation in The Gambia, he and his friends began to speak out against human rights violations.
In April 2000, President Yahya Jammeh's notorious security forces opened fire on crowds of peaceful protesters, killing 14 students, a journalist and Red Cross volunteer.
Mr Tambadou watched his close friends prosecuted and persecuted but it was pressure from his family, concerned about the consequences of his opposition to the Jammeh regime that finally convinced him to pursue opportunities outside his homeland.
And so began his career in international justice.
His self-imposed exile took him to the UN court set up to try the ringleaders of the Rwanda genocide, where he was responsible for the prosecution of former Rwandan army chief of staff Maj-Gen Augustin Bizimungu.
He believed what he was doing "was not just prosecuting the Rwandan genocidaires," he said.
"This was a way for us Africans to send a message to our leaders... I saw it as more of an African struggle for justice and accountability than a Rwandan one."
'An example for small states'
After Jammeh's fall at the beginning of 2017, Mr Tambadou returned to The Gambia to serve in the cabinet of President Adama Barrow - The Gambia's first new leader for 23 years.
And it was in his capacity as justice minister that he travelled to New York with the country's foreign minister, Ousainou Darboe. When Mr Darboe was then unable to go on a planned trip to Bangladesh, he asked Mr Tambadou to go on his behalf.
He scanned his diary and responded: "Why not?"
"You may call it a coincidence" he laughs.
But Mr Tambadou's next assignment could be closer to home.
Protests erupted in The Gambian capital of Banjul last week, with supporters of former President Jammeh calling for him to return home from exile in Equatorial Guinea.
In a leaked recording the exiled former leader could be heard saying he supported the demonstrations.
The justice minister believes it is unlikely that he will come back but if he does he says that Jammeh will be arrested.
"Nothing would please me more than to see former President Jammeh face up to his crimes he has committed against ordinary Gambians.
"I've luckily never had anything to do with him. I opposed and despised his brutal and savage methods since the day he took power."
The authorities have now started seriously discussing the most viable place to bring criminal charges against Mr Jammeh.
All options are currently on the table - a national trial, regional tribunal or international court case.
Mr Tambadou thinks this is the time for The Gambia to reclaim its position on the world stage. In terms of human rights he holds a bold ambition: "We want to lead by example."
"The case at ICJ is Gambia showing the world you don't have to have military power or economic power to denounce oppressions. Legal obligation and moral responsibility exist for all states, big or small."

It is the big question swirling around government. | Kamal AhmedEconomics editor@bbckamalon Twitter
After another set of economic figures stronger than expected, is this economic pain cancelled, or simply postponed?
On that central issue rests the fate of the government's economic policy.
If it is pain cancelled that means better real incomes for voters.
It means higher tax receipts for the government, lower levels of borrowing and more leeway to spend money on public services.
And, of course, confidence tends to beget confidence.
If consumers - the most important drivers of the UK economy - feel the world around them is feeling positive, they tend to spend.
For businesses, it is not a lot different.
Brexit boost
Larry Fink, the head of the world's largest asset managers, BlackRock, made an interesting point at the World Economic Forum at Davos last week.
Asked why consumer confidence hadn't collapsed following the referendum - or at least had recovered strongly after some initial uncertainty - Mr Fink answered that for lots of people who voted for Brexit or who voted for Donald Trump, the victories were not a negative event.
"They won," he said, simply felt good and kept spending. "Car sales went up."
For the UK economy, it is worth considering two points.
First, the gloomy forecasts before the referendum about the possible effects of a vote to leave the European Union were based on Article 50, the mechanism for leaving the EU, being triggered immediately after the vote as David Cameron promised.
That could have led to a chaotic departure from the EU and certainly would have created greater economic dislocation.
Second, the Bank of England cut interest rates and increased financial support for businesses and banks, soothing market fears.
These two points are not enough to explain all of the resilience in the economy, but they go some of the way.
In my interview with the chancellor, he admitted that he was now "more optimistic" about the process of leaving the EU and the single market.
He said that European leaders were no longer in chastising mood over Brexit, that had now past.
A good deal is on, he said.
But, and of course there has to be a but when considering how an economy will perform - a judgement at its most basic on how a million different decisions by human beings will play out.
And the buts are these.
The rate of inflation is increasing as the value of sterling declines.
That will affect people's real incomes.
Jobs are being moved out of the UK and on to the continent in sectors such as banking and finance as businesses prepare for Brexit.
Investments have been delayed.
The UK has, of course, not actually left the EU yet and at the moment is enjoying the stimulus of being in the EU's huge single market with a considerably weaker currency.
That goldilocks situation will not last and the chancellor told me of his concerns about business investment.
Demands of uncertainty
It was the Austrian economist, Joseph Schumpeter, who argued that shocks to an economy can boost growth.
"Creative destruction" may be a little strong to describe the Brexit vote, but innovation can flow when the demands of uncertainty rise.
After Britain fell out of the Exchange Rate Mechanism, the precursor of the single currency, many predicted that inflation would rise and economic growth would stutter.
In fact, the UK economy bounced back, inflation remained in check and the pound rose - after an initial fall.
That is not to say that all "dynamic" shocks have such an effect.
The financial crisis of 2008-09 has negatively affected economic growth for far longer than most expected as the financial services sector contracted rapidly, liquidity disappeared and businesses and consumers paid down debt.
That is why it is still too early to say definitively whether the robust state of the UK economy today means the forecasts for economic pain made before the Brexit vote can now be safely ignored.

Indian carmaker Tata Motors has reported a 16% fall in quarterly profits as higher costs and foreign exchange losses took their toll. | In the three months to the end of September, Tata made net profits of 18.77bn rupees ($372.9m; £234.5m), as against 22.23bn rupees a year earlier.
But its Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) subsidiary in the UK posted a 9% increase in profits for the same period to £287m before tax.
JLR said its global sales were up 30%.
Last week, it said it would be creating more than 1,000 new jobs at its Land Rover plant in Solihull, where nearly 5,000 people currently work.
JLR has benefited from demand for its new Range Rover Evoque model.
Tata Motors bought the company from Ford for £1.5bn in June 2008.

Clashes between the forces of Azerbaijan and Armenian-backed Nagorno-Karabakh have left several soldiers dead, with both sides blaming the other for the violence. | Azerbaijan's defence ministry said three Armenians and two Azeris were killed following an Armenian attack.
Armenian reports said one Armenian was wounded repelling Azeri forces, and up to seven Azeris were wounded or killed.
Recent attempts to solve the "frozen conflict" have failed to gather steam.
There have been a number of skirmishes in recent months across the ceasefire line dating to the 1990s.
Fighting broke out in the late 1980s as the Soviet Union headed towards collapse, with ethnic Armenians taking control of Nagorno-Karabakh and a land corridor linking it to Armenia.
Negotiations between the two countries, under a fresh peace drive backed by the US and Russia, took place last year but have since stalled.

Phew. After the six months she has had, Theresa May might be entitled to breathe a sigh of relief, as the European Council officially declared that the first phase of our long goodbye from the European Union is over. | Laura KuenssbergPolitical editor@bbclaurakon Twitter
Stand back from the daily dramas and perhaps it was always bound to happen.
Both sides are committed to getting an agreement.
The EU and the UK both want a deal to be done, and while there has, inevitably, been grumpiness on both sides, they have, in the main, dealt with each other in good faith.
But the fragility of the government, and the complexities of some of the issues, have meant that, on some occasions, it has felt like the prime minister might not get there. Had she not been able to get this far, there genuinely could have been questions about her future.
The conventional wisdom is that the next phase will be more complicated, even more fraught.
There are some optimists in government who believe it doesn't have to be that way - because the UK and the EU are already partners, it's a question of unpicking an existing relationship, rather than putting one together from scratch.
But there are significant contradictions to iron out, contrasting motivations, conflicting views inside the Conservative Party as well as among the EU 27.
The experience of the past few months suggests, in fact, that the way ahead will be extremely fraught and the prime minister's goal of a full agreement by March 2019 is hopeful, rather than grounded in reality.
But for today, at least, Mrs May's team can be satisfied, if only for a moment or two, that they have managed even to come this far.

Electricity supplies across the islands of both Guernsey and Jersey were hit by a major power cut, which lasted only a few seconds, at 1912 BST on Thursday.
| Guernsey Electricity said it believed the outage was caused by a voltage fault via the cable link with France which supplied power to both islands.
It added the details of the exact cause were still unclear.
Guernsey and Jersey Electricity are working with colleagues in France to find out why the fault occurred.
Computers, telephones and electronic equipment across the islands went dead during the outage.

Facebook has announced it's trying out a new feature. | Called 'subscribe to' it lets users follow their Facebook friends more closely.
Only a limited number of people are being allowed to try it out so the full details of how it works are still unclear.
But in a statement Facebook said: "[Subscribe to] lets [users] subscribe to friends and pages to receive notifications whenever the person they've subscribed to updates their status or posts new content, such as videos photos or links."
As most users know, once a person's got several hundred friends, following them all via the news feed can be difficult and time-consuming.
So the idea behind this new feature is that users would be able to 'subscribe to' people they specifically wanted to keep up to date with.
Critics have labelled it a new 'stalker' feature for the social networking giant.
Others say it's merely an attempt to try to capitalise on the popularity of Twitter.
There's no information on when, or even if, the new service will be made available to all of Facebook's 500+ million users.

It was only on Sunday that the prime minister was hoping to use this week as a reset, relaunch, even rebrand, of his government after the crazy B-movie version of House of Cards that's been playing out in the last few days. | Laura KuenssbergPolitical editor@bbclaurakon Twitter
But that night Boris Johnson got caught up in the realities of coronavirus again, being "pinged" after a meeting with a group of half a dozen MPs, one of whom later tested positive, confining him to Downing Street for the next fortnight.
But it's his own gaffe on Monday that will knock his planned return to calm off course.
On a call with a powerful group of northern Tory MPs, the prime minister was asked about devolution. It has groaned and strained under the stress of the pandemic over the last few months, while relations with the other UK governments, as well as some city-region mayors, have been far from straightforward.
But it now seems, as the Sun first reported, that Mr Johnson did not just say that things had been a bit tricky. Downing Street is not denying the suggestion that he said it had been a "disaster north of the border".
This comes six months before vital elections right across the UK, important particularly in Scotland. It is just when the SNP has been starting to warm up its campaign, and just when discussions about how the UK government ought to respond are taking place too. You can read more about that here.
It is one thing - and, of course, legitimate - for political rivals to criticise each other. But to suggest the way that Scotland has been run for more than a decade is a "disaster" is quite another.
And the worry among Scottish Tories is the implication that Mr Johnson's understanding of the political situation is far from complete.
The notion of devolution used to be controversial in Scotland, and the Tories used to oppose it. But that's not been the case for a long time.
Even the UK government's own website says officially that "devolution has made a real difference to the lives of people in Scotland - and recognises the wishes of the people to have more say over matters that affect them".
Within a few minutes, no surprise, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon responded to what had been reported - frankly a political gift for her to amplify her claims that Mr Johnson doesn't understand Scotland.
Shortly afterwards, the new-ish Scottish Tory leader, Douglas Ross, tried, sort of, to justify what had been said.
His colleagues are less diplomatic in private. One veteran Scottish Tory told me: "This is dire - it's totally out of touch and reflects a Westminster-centric view of 1992, not 2020."
Another said: "The anger tonight is palpable and the worst I've ever seen towards a Tory PM."
There's a sense that the prime minister doesn't have that long to get a grip of the government after a crazy few days.
An unforced error on a vital issue like this is hardly likely to help.

A stately home which was once a haunt of the rich and royal has been sold to a French baron. It's the latest in a string of mansions sold to international buyers, raising questions about the safety of England's heritage. But does it matter who holds the keys? | By Lauren PottsBBC News
Author Henry James once said: "Of all the great things that the English have invented and made part of the credit of the national character, the most perfect, the most characteristic, the only one they have mastered completely in all its details... is the well-appointed, well-administered, well-filled country house."
It was an opinion shared by many when the stately home was the highest symbol of aristocratic wealth. However, in the early 20th Century the English upper classes began to lose their grip on their palaces.
Not unlike the scenes in TV's Downton Abbey, the fight to save the country home was a very real concern for the landed gentry in the face of heavy taxation.
It was this chink in the armour of England's upper classes that gave some international buyers a first class ticket to tradition and class.
"At the beginning of the 20th Century there were a lot of historic houses and people married rich American wives," said Dr Timothy Brittain-Catlin, lecturer in architecture at the University of Kent.
"In the 1920s and 1930s there was a lot more money in America and if it wasn't for them, the houses would have been demolished.
"Everyone [here] was broke and houses weren't protected and many of them were bought up by people like [American] William Randolph Hearst.
"Some were remodelled and rebuilt and in England it led to a serious conservation lobby, so in a way it was a good thing because it made people aware."
It is estimated that between 1880 and 1980, about 2,000 country homes across England, Wales and Scotland were demolished. But the grass of the English countryside has always appeared greener to international buyers.
"A lot of people regard England as a safe haven of heritage," said Jasper Feilding, of property consultants Carter Jonas which dealt with the sale in November of Minley Manor in Hampshire.
"You can buy a schloss in Germany or a chateau in France which may be equally as important from a historical point of view.
"But they're not making any more country houses and if you're looking for a trophy property there's more kudos in buying something in England which has that historical importance."
There have been a number of high profile sales of country homes to overseas buyers in recent months.
A bidding war in January 2014 saw the sale of Hadspen House in Somerset to an international buyer - rumoured to be Hollywood star, Johnny Depp - for a reported £12m, while Dunstall Hall in Staffordshire was sold to a Middle Eastern businessman for £4m in July. In January of this year, Apethorpe Hall in Northamptonshire was sold to French academic, Baron von Pfetten.
"There's definitely been some kind of movement towards foreign buyers purchasing country houses and in recent months there has been something of a trend," said Mike Fox, from Save Britain's Heritage.
"Providing the houses don't suffer as a result of them being bought by international buyers, we've got no problem.
"But the concern is if they're just bought up as trophy properties and then left. There are a number of houses where that has happened."
Apethorpe, which was once a favourite haunt of King James I, is a prime example of a property left to rot.
The Jacobean country house was bought by a Libyan businessman in 1983, who neither lived in it or maintained it and left it to crumble for almost two decades.
It was eventually bought by the government in 2001 and handed to English Heritage in 2005, who sold it following £8m worth of restoration work.
Its new owner has agreed to open the doors to the public for 50 days a year to help it "regain the place in British history it deserves".
"The house was bought by a foreign owner who let it fall to pieces and now has another foreign owner," said Dr Brittain-Catlin.
"Conservationists will tell you that they have lost a manor, but on the other hand, an important house has now been saved by someone who is living in it and appreciates it.
"The [nationality] of the buyer isn't the important thing, it's that the buyer looks after it," he added.
Despite attempts to preserve these quintessentially British properties, the Historic Houses Association says times are still tough for owners, with about 60% of members opening their homes to the public and offering them as film sets for TV programmes like Wolf Hall and Downton Abbey.
"These are very uncertain times for historic houses and gardens," said Richard Compton, president of the HHA. "Competition to attract visitors with disposable incomes has increased; at the same time, costs have also risen.
"Many historic house businesses face threats to their very survival."
A question mark currently hangs over the future of one of Europe's biggest private stately homes.
Wentworth Woodhouse, in South Yorkshire, has been open to the public for more than 25 years but its owners are planning to put the Grade I listed property on the market.
It means anyone who can afford the reputed £7m price tag plus the £40m needed for repairs could snap up a piece of England's heritage.
But Mr Fox hopes the house can be purchased by a preservation trust which has so far raised £3.5m in pledges.
"The family need to consider their options and that includes putting it on the market," he said, "But we remain confident we can do some kind of deal."

Sports fashion retailer JD Sports has said its recently bought Blacks Leisure made an operating loss of £2.2m in the first three weeks of its ownership. | It said the loss from Blacks was due to a lack of stock, an "excessively large and over-rented" store portfolio and "disproportionate" costs.
It also set aside £3.5m for restructuring costs, after buying the outdoor retailer for £20m on 9 January.
Pre-tax profits at JD fell 14% to £67.4m for the year to 28 January 2012.
Revenues rose almost 20% to £1.06bn.
JD said that trading since the end of the financial year had been "satisfactory", though profit margins were still under pressure as consumers sought out special offers.
Sales at stores open for more than a year in the UK and Ireland were up 1.2%.

The official line from the SNP is that it won this election. It has the largest number of seats in Scotland - more than all the other parties added together. That, they say, has always been the definition of victory. | Sarah SmithScotland editor
But it knows that it lost a lot last night. Some of its best known and most effective MPs. And most of their political momentum.
It's almost impossible for the party to now argue that the people of Scotland want another Scottish referendum when 60% of the electorate voted for parties which have vowed to block another vote on independence.
A very sombre-looking Nicola Sturgeon said last night she and the party would now need to reflect on what this result means for indyref2. But you don't have to think very long or very hard to realise it now looks very unlikely to happen.
Inside the SNP members will also now have to consider whether their call for another referendum back in March was a tactical blunder. Even though they did not know at the time that there would be a general election.
Deputy First Minster John Swinney has said this morning: "We will take time and care to reflect on the outcome of this result. But we have to acknowledge that the question of a second independence referendum was a significant motivator of votes against the SNP in this election, and we have to be attentive to that point."
Scottish Tories are much more buoyant than their Conservative colleagues down south.
Ruth Davidson looked delighted as she watched her party unseat the SNP's former leader Alex Salmond and their Westminster leader Angus Robertson.
Ms Davidson immediately declared that the idea of an independence referendum was "dead".

The 12 seats the Scottish Tories won make a big difference to the overall UK result. Without them Theresa May would not be considering staying on as PM. And the Scottish party's resurgence means people are already talking about Ruth Davidson as a future UK PM herself.
One of the big surprises of the night in Scotland was the comeback of the Scottish Labour Party.
Not only did it win seven seats - up from the one single seat they won in 2015 - it also made significant dents in SNP majorities all over the country as the Corbyn surge swept across the border. Ironic given how opposed the leadership of the Scottish Labour Party is towards Mr Corbyn.
The Lib Dems are also very happy to take four seats, including ousting John Nicolson who was one of the SNP's strongest media performers.
This result could have been even worse for the SNP. Where it did cling on it was often by a single fingernail. It won North East Fife by just two votes, Perth and North Perthshire by 21 and Glasgow South West by 60.
In the heat of the night some SNP sources started briefing against Nicola Sturgeon and her husband who is chief executive of the SNP and mastermind of its campaign.
Her position as SNP leader is safe for now. But her party and her reputation have been damaged.
What remains to be seen is how much influence the SNP's 35 MPs can wield in Westminster. A hung parliament means the third largest parliamentary group may be diminished but could still be very important.

Accelerate, accelerate, accelerate, accelerate. | Laura KuenssbergPolitical editor@bbclaurakon Twitter
OK, in theory, if I am driving a car at four miles per hour and I speed up to eight miles per hour, technically I am accelerating.
I may still be basically crawling along. I still may be late - very, very late - for my eventual destination. But, by the very action of pressing the pedal and going faster, I am actually speeding up.
If anyone accuses me of going nowhere, or slowing down - well, look at my speedometer. I am going faster and I have evidence that you are wrong!
That is why, in the next few days, don't be surprised if every Tory politician you see, hear, or read about is using that word (at least those loyal to the government) to claim that there is progress in the Brexit talks, just days after the chief negotiator on the EU side declared a deadlock.
Commitment wanted
As we've talked about before, Michel Barnier's choice of language last week didn't mean that nothing had happened or that there's been no movement at all.
But it made headlines, and all political negotiations of this ilk are in a sense a fight over words, too.
So tonight, the government, beset by its own rows about preparing for a deal, preparing for no deal, preparing to look like they know what they are doing, have a word - one word - that they can use as evidence that they are getting somewhere.
Look, even the arch Eurocrat Jean-Claude Juncker agreed to "accelerate" the talks, you can almost hear them say. Give the news cycle another 12 hours and I'd bet a fiver that will have happened.
But what Number 10 is really hoping for is an agreement on Friday at the summit that points to the way ahead - not just a speeding up, but a commitment to the next junction - to allow the talks to start moving onto the transition.
'Going nowhere fast?'
Despite the promise of acceleration, there is no sign yet tonight that either side is willing to budge far enough to inject some real vigour into the process.
There's no sign the UK is willing to put more cash on the table, yet. There's no sign that a majority of the other side are willing to expand the talks without that promise of more cash, yet.
The talks can accelerate all they like, but without one of the two sides being willing to budge to reach an accommodation, they could be going nowhere fast.
PS: There is precious little detail so far of what actually was discussed at the dinner, and no sign yet of the huge leak of info from the last dinner between this group.

About 1,400 homes have been left without gas in North Yorkshire. | Northern Gas Networks said properties in Barlby and Osgodby, near Selby, were affected.
Food vouchers, heaters and hotplates were offered to residents, and an incident room set up at Osgodby Village Institute for information and advice.
Engineers said almost 900 of the properties without gas since Wednesday evening had been reconnected at the meter by 06:00 GMT.
Prioritising those who were vulnerable, the engineers had reconnected 450 properties by 21:30 on Thursday.
Hot showers are being made available for residents at Selby Leisure Centre.
Steve Pigott, of Northern Gas Networks, said: "We are working hard to restore gas supplies to customers as quickly and as safely as possible and are investigating the cause of the incident.
"In order to do this, we will need to be able to access every property to safely turn off the gas supply at the meter.
"While we're working to restore gas supplies, we're temporarily providing some residents with electric heating and cooking appliances to support them while they are without gas.
"The use of these appliances will increase demand on the local electricity network."

An offshore supply ship may be detained in Aberdeen for another two weeks on the grounds of non-payment of crew wages. | The Malaviya Seven will have to stay at port until workers are paid. Provisions are also said to be running low.
It was detained under merchant shipping regulations.
Liam Wilson, an inspector for the International Transport Workers' Federation, said the crew had not been paid for several months.
Howard Drysdale, of the Aberdeen Seafarers Centre, told BBC Scotland the crew "are a good bunch of guys and do not deserve this".
A vessel in Great Yarmouth has been detained for similar reasons.

Employees in Guernsey who do not want to work on a Sunday could be given less time to warn bosses. | Currently workers must hand employers three months notice that they do not wish to work on a Sunday.
Deputy Mike Hadley wants to amend the 2001 employment protection law to shorten the opt-out period from three months to one month.
He said the amendment would allow employees enough time to state they would not work on a Sunday.
The proposal is part of a motion which could allow shops across Guernsey to open on a Sunday.

NHS Highland still needs to save £2m before April in order to balance its books, the health board's finance chiefs have said.
| It was facing a potential overspend of £15.6m at the start of the financial year. Raigmore Hospital in Inverness accounted for £10.5m of that figure.
Health board chiefs said at the time that they expected to break even.
They said further savings and "successful management of service pressures" will now be required.

People like using polls to make a point about big issues. | Politicians use them in debates, newspapers put them on front pages and people quote them on social media.
It's one reason why some people were shocked when the Conservatives won the general election.
Up until the very last minute David Cameron's Conservatives and Ed Miliband's Labour were predicted neck-and-neck.
Why were they wrong?
In a nutshell, because Labour voters were easier to get hold of than Conservative voters on the telephone and over the internet. Older Conservative voters were harder to contact and one polling company said they didn't have enough younger voters disengaged with politics on their books.
More on that here.
General elections aside, when you see big numbers talked about on television, or online, these are the kinds of questions you might want to ask.
All polls are not created equal
Think about those hair advertisements you see where a celebrity spins around while a voiceover tells you that 87% of women agree that a certain shampoo makes your hair softer.
Sounds like a pretty big proportion of people, right?
Dr Rogers, an ambassador for the Royal Statistical Society, says it's important to look at the number of people who were surveyed.
"If I take different samples of people I'm never going to get the same answer every single time," she says.
"The bigger my sample size, the more reliable my result is. If I've only got a small number of people in my sample then it's not as reliable an answer and it will be subject to a lot of uncertainty."
If you look at the small print at the bottom of the advertisement, you will probably see the number of people they surveyed. If something like only 97 people were asked then that's a relatively small sample.
Dr Rogers also points out that if those people signed up to do the survey, they may have a greater than average interest in beauty and give answers that do not represent the nation as a whole.
What's in a question?
"If you see 70% of women agree, that always says to me, what question have they asked them?" says Dr Rogers.
"They said to these women, 'Do you agree with this statement?'
"I think more people would probably just tick, yeah I agree with that. They might answer differently if they were given a question such as, 'How does this make your hair feel?'"
Leading questions, asking whether you agree with a statement, for example, can really shape the types of answer that are given and therefore the data is produced.
An either/or choice also doesn't offer the spectrum of emotion or opinion that people can hold.
One in five, 20% and a fifth - they're all the same thing
"Number jargon," when something is described as being increased by 17% for example, is "really unhelpful" according to Mr Moy.
"It's very easy just to put people off completely," he says.
Full Fact actually encourages the media to avoid using statistics in their reports unless it is strictly necessary.
News websites should also be visualising statistics more, Dr Rogers suggests, as people can understand one coloured-in figure and four blanks ones representing one in five people, much better than the phrase "20% of people" even though they are the same thing.
Where do the numbers come from?
"You don't need to be a mathematician to understand statistics," says Will Moy, from Full Fact, an independent fact checking charity.
So even if you didn't ace your maths GCSE, it's still possible for you to understand - and even question - the numbers you see reported in the media.
Advertisers may generate statistics to help make a product more appealing. Governments survey the population to inform policies for the future. Charities will promote statistics to make people aware of an issue.
"Statistics are numbers but they are little bits of information," says Dr Jennifer Rogers from the University of Oxford.
While they might help experts to "get an indication of what's going on", they also allow people to "present" and "interpret" the data in different ways.
Who can you trust?
"We're relatively lucky in this country, having official statistics that are pretty robust and independent systems for making sure they are trustworthy," says Mr Moy.
People in other parts of the world "can't take it for granted" that governments and organisations are releasing reliable data.
One of the most powerful influences on people is their social networks, Mr Moy says, so when you repeat or quote statistics online, you can be shaping the way the people you know see the world.
"The people you trust most are your friends, that's where you get your opinions from," he says.
"You don't have to repeat these numbers unless you've seen they've got enough evidence to base them on."

Four people have been taken to hospital after a chemical incident at a business park in Abingdon. | A number of buildings were evacuated and a cordon was put in place in Stratton Way at about 12:00 BST.
Two cleaning workers and two members of the public tested positive for carbon monoxide inhalation and were taken to the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford.
South Central Ambulance Service said they were not seriously injured.
There are no further concerns for the public, Thames Valley Police said.

The cost of removing a sculpture of a Black Lives Matter activist from the plinth where a statue of slave trader Edward Colston once stood will "run into thousands", the city council said. | Contractors removed the statue of Jen Reid on Thursday, a day after it was illegally erected in central Bristol.
Mayor Marvin Rees has asked artist Marc Quinn to contribute, saying the money came from front-line funds.
It is not clear whether the artist will contribute or if this can be enforced.
The BBC has attempted to contact London-based Quinn.
A spokesman for the council said: "We are waiting on a final quote from the contractors and police, but it is likely to run into the thousands.
"We should get the bill next week."
The black resin statue of Ms Reid, called A Surge of Power, was created by Quinn who said it was designed to be a temporary installation to continue the conversation about racism.
He said he was inspired to create it after seeing an image of Ms Reid standing on the plinth with her fist raised during the Black Lives Matter protest on 7 June, moments after the statue of Colston had been torn down and dragged into the harbour.
The statue of Ms Reid was taken down on Thursday - 24 hours after it was erected - because the council said it did not have planning permission.
A history commission has been set up which will help authorities decide on city memorials and the future of the plinth.
Mayor Marvin Rees said: "The artist has said that he wants to sell it and give the money to local charities.
"I will say too - and this is the point I've made and it's not a flippant point - but actually we're facing a major funding crisis through Covid at the moment as well.
"We've lost revenue and we've had increased costs.
"It cost us money to take this down. The money we spent taking the statue down actually comes from accounts that we spend on adult social care and children's services.
"We'd really welcome a contribution from the artist."

A man has been convicted of trying to attack Crystal Palace's bald eagle mascot Kayla. But the 2015 incident involving Charlton Athletic supporter Daniel Boylett is just one of several in the bird of prey's colourful life. | By Josephine McDermottBBC News
Stolen from a nest in Canada as a chick she has been the Crystal Palace club mascot since 2010 - and has even been credited with saving the Kent bird sanctuary where she lives.
As well as flying around Palace's Selhurst Park ground before matches, she once appeared on the cover of a Kings of Leon album.
"It's amazing how far she's come, for a bird that shouldn't be here," says Nicky Hopkins, from Eagle Heights Wildlife Foundation, in Eynsford, Kent.
Kayla and her sister were stolen from the wild as chicks and reared poorly before being released back into the wild.
Nineteen years ago, the sanctuary's founder Alan Ames received a phone call asking him to rehome the birds.
"They said they had two psychotic bald eagles," he said. "They would pester humans to be fed because, having been hand-reared, they had no inherent fear.
"I was told they would be put to sleep if I didn't take them. The paperwork took so long the sister got put to sleep. I went ballistic..
"Kayla had 30 days in quarantine and then we started training her up."
Eagle Heights has about 100 birds of prey. It is open to the public, breeds birds and provides school visits, but Mr Ames is also often contacted by people in the entertainment world for help with projects.
Kayla was photographed for the UK cover of the 2008 Kings of Leon album 'Only by the Night'.
"We took her to a studio. We showed the band how to hold her. It was just another day in the office," says Mr Ames.
Kayla has also been used as a standby on film sets including Clash of the Titans.
Then in 2009, Mr Ames was approached by a Crystal Palace FC employee who lived close to his sanctuary.
Kayla was invited to appear at a few home matches, later becoming the official mascot of the team - who are nicknamed The Eagles.
A club spokeswoman said she was an "instant success" and is "extremely popular with fans".
On home match days, she spends an hour outside the ground before being brought inside where she flies from one end of the stadium to the other before the match and at half-time.
"She will fly into the stands. She flies right in between the players and cheerleaders. They love her," adds Mr Ames.
"As far as the Palace fans are concerned, that's their eagle. It's something that Millwall haven't got," he adds, referring to the long-standing rivalry between the clubs.
Although rival fans often sing derisory chants comparing Kayla to a pigeon, she has been known to stand up for herself.
"She did nick a pork pie off a Millwall fan once," Mr Ames adds.
Arguably Kayla's most significant achievement has been helping save the sanctuary that had rescued her 19 years ago.
"We were in dire straits in 2015," says Ms Hopkins. "There was a chance we were going to have to close.
"The Palace fans kept us open. It was down to them and their love for Kayla."
Fans donated £15,000 to the centre, which helped keep it afloat.
Mr Ames said she had "met many hundreds of thousands of fans" over the years before September 2015 when she was attacked.
"If he'd hit her in the skull he could have killed her," he said.
"She could have opened him right up if he'd got her in the face. [Her claws] can squeeze five times harder than a hand. She's designed to pierce thick fish skin."
He said the incident had not caused her any ill effects, though, and she had continued to attend matches.
"We're more aware now there can be people as stupid as this," Mr Ames said.
"We realise we have to keep our eyes open."
What does the future hold for Kayla? "She could live for 60 years," he says. "She'll probably outlive me."

Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump is very wealthy. And now, thanks to his recently released Federal Election Commission (FEC) financial disclosure forms covering the past 18 months, we have some new information about the man and the breadth of his financial domain. | Anthony ZurcherNorth America reporter@awzurcheron Twitter
Here are five interesting claims and revelations gleaned from the 92-page document.
1. He's in love with his name
Mr Trump's financial disclosure lists involvement in 515 organisations and entities - and 264 of them start with the word "Trump" while another 54 include his initials.
There's Trump Drinks Israel (a kosher energy drink firm), Trump Ice (a bottled water company), Trump Carousel (a New York merry-go-round that made him $588,518 last year), Trump Classic Cars, Trump National Golf Club, Trump Vineyard Estates and something called Trump Follies - which does not appear to be connected in any way to his presidential campaign.
2. He's worth at least $1.35bn
The exact value of the Trump empire has long been a topic of speculation. When it submitted its paperwork last week, the Trump campaign boldly asserted in a news release that "as of this date, Mr Trump's net worth is in excess of TEN BILLION DOLLARS".
Bloomberg News suggests the number is around $2.4bn, while Forbes magazine puts it closer to $4bn - still enough to buy plenty of gold escalators.
According to the FEC report, the total for all Mr Trump's assets minus his liabilities is $1.35bn (£870m). This is a bit misleading, however, as the FEC asks only for a dollar range to the assets listed, and the top category is "over $50,000,000".
Twenty-three of Mr Trump's interests, such as the Trump Tower in New York City and golf courses in Florida, Virginia, California and New Jersey, are listed at this level.
"This report was not designed for a man of Mr Trump's massive wealth," Mr Trump's press release scoffs.
3. His signature is nearly unintelligible
Mr Trump's signature, appearing on the first page of the report, is a series of jagged lines drawn with what appears to be a Sharpie. It dominates the other signatures on the page, written in an ink that is obviously much richer and more luxurious than that his counterparts.
And what's that over the "p"? A hat? The tip of a Trump rocket? The imagined spire of some new Trump skyscraper?
4. He owns a lot of stocks and has a lot of debt
In last week's news release, Mr Trump boasted that he's not only a savvy businessman, he's also good at picking stocks.
"Even though stock market purchases are not something that Mr Trump has focused on in the past, and while only a small part of his net worth, 40 of the 45 stocks purchased went up in a relatively short period of time, creating a gain of $27,021,471."
His portfolio totals at least $70m, and includes a laundry list of blue-chip companies - including at least $500,000 each in Apple, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Caterpillar, AT&T, JPMorgan Chase and ConocoPhillips. He made more than $5m in capital gains from the sale of Bank of America stock during the 18-month reporting period and also made millions from the sale of Boeing and Facebook.
On the other side of the ledger, Mr Trump has at least $265m in debt, including mortgages on Trump Tower, 40 Wall Street and Trump National Doral golf course that fall into the "over $50 million" category.
He pays fixed interest ranging from 4% to 7.125%, while other loans are pegged to market rates (which are currently lower).
5. Donald makes money being Donald
Although most of Mr Trump's income derives from his real estate and golf ventures, Mr Trump also makes plenty of money just being himself.
He earned $1.75m in speaking fees since May 2014, including three $450,000 speeches for ACN, a marketing company specialising in "home-based business". That compares favourably with $75,000 rate for Republican Jeb Bush and the up to $325,000 a speech Democrat Hillary Clinton has pulled in.
Mr Trump has written 14 books, but most of them aren't doing much for his bottom line. But his biggest best-seller, The Art of the Deal, still earned him at least $15,000, and Time to Get Tough - a 2011 political manifesto - made Mr Trump between $50,001 and $100,000.
Mr Trump also brought in $14,222 in salary from starring in the NBC television programme The Apprentice, and his operation of the Miss Universe beauty pageant made him about $3.4m. NBC has since cut ties with Mr Trump on both projects.
All in all, Mr Trump's income over the last 18 months from all sources amounts to at least $431m.
Perhaps Russ Choma of Mother Jones put it best when he pointed out that Mr Trump made more money selling Serta mattresses - a deal since terminated - than twice the total net worth of fellow Republican presidential hopeful Senator Marco Rubio of Florida.

At first sight even I am a little confused by Ariana Miyamoto. She is tall and strikingly beautiful. But the first thing that pops in to my head when I meet the newly crowned Miss Universe Japan is that she doesn't look very Japanese. | By Rupert Wingfield-HayesBBC News, Tokyo
In just two years here I have clearly absorbed a lot of the local prejudices about what it means to be "Japanese".
My confusion lasts only until Ariana opens her mouth. Suddenly everything about her shouts out that she is Japanese, from the soft lilting tone of her voice, to her delicate hand gestures and demure expression.
Well of course she is. Ariana was born in Japan and has lived here all her life. She knows little of her father's home back in Arkansas in the United States. But to many Japanese, and I really do mean many, Ariana Miyamoto is not Japanese. Not fully anyway.
Ariana is what is known in Japan as a "hafu", taken from the English word "half". To me the word sounds derogatory. But when I ask her Ariana surprises me by defending the term, even embracing it.
"If it was not for the word hafu, it would be very hard to describe who I am, what kind of person I am in Japan," she says.
"If I say I am 'Japanese' the reply would be: 'No, you can't be'. People will not believe that. But if I say I am 'hafu', people agree. There is no word like hafu outside Japan, but I think we need it here. In order for us mixed kids to live in Japan, it is indispensible and I value it."
In Japan the reaction to Ariana's victory has been oddly muted. While the international media are trooping to her door every day, the Japanese media has largely ignored her.
"I feel that I have more attention from outside of Japan," she says.
"I have more interviews with non-Japanese media compared to Japanese media. When I am walking down the street, no Japanese will come up to me, but I get lots of congratulations from non-Japanese tourists."
On social media the reaction has been mixed, with many Japanese expressing support and joy. But others have been much less pleasant, even hostile.
"Is it ok to select a hafu as Miss Japan," one person wrote on twitter.
"It makes me uncomfortable to think she is representing Japan," wrote another.
In much of the rest of the world identity is no longer defined by the way you look.
There are white, black, Asian and Chinese Britons, just as there are any number of different sorts of Americans. But Japan still clings to a very narrow definition of what it means to be "Japanese".
In part that is because this is still such an extraordinarily homogenous society. Immigrants make up just one per cent of Japan's population, and most of those are from Korea and China.
Centuries of isolation have also imbued Japan with a sense of separateness.
Many people here genuinely believe Japanese are unique, even genetically separate from the rest of us.
When my (Japanese) wife got pregnant, one of her friends congratulated her with the words: "It's not easy for us Japanese to get pregnant with a foreigner". I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Of course this myth is complete nonsense. Japanese are an ethnic hotch-potch, the result of different migrations over thousands of years, from the Korean peninsula, China and South East Asia. But the myth is strong, and that makes being different here hard.
Growing up in a small city in western Japan, Ariana experienced it at first hand. Her best friend at school killed himself in part because he couldn't face being treated as an outsider all the time.
"We used to talk a lot about how hard it was to be hafu," she says.
"He wanted to talk about why we are excluded from others three days before he died.
"He used to say it was very difficult for him to live. He could not speak any English. People used to wonder why he did not speak any English despite his looks - he looked very foreign to them."
Ariana's victory is, perhaps, a sign that Japan is finally, slowly starting to change. That is certainly what she hopes, and that her newfound fame may help other hafu children.
"I think the Japanese like to stereotype. But I think we need to change that," she says.
"There will be more and more international marriages and there will be more mixed kids in the future. So I believe we need to change the way of thinking for those kids, for their future."
She is certainly right about that. Ariana Miyamoto is part of growing trend in Japan. One in 50 new babies born here are now biracial, 20,000 babies a year. Japan is changing. Now how will it react if Ariana Miyamoto lifts the Miss Universe crown?

Guernsey States has agreed a move to make online, rather than paper, tax returns the standard for individuals in the island.
| It means online returns will be the default option, although paper returns will be available on request.
Treasury and Resources Minister Gavin St Pier said about 40,000 paper tax returns were sent out annually.
He said online filing would save money, was more environmentally friendly and more efficient.
The States also agreed companies would be expected to file tax returns online, with exceptions allowed to submit paper forms at the discretion of the Income Tax director.

For the past four decades, radical Muslim cleric Abu Bakar Ba'asyir has been in and out of jail, repeatedly accused of supporting terrorism. But the 72-year-old has insisted he is just a simple preacher. | According to many people, both in Indonesia and abroad, Ba'asyir is or was the spiritual leader of Jemaah Islamiah (JI), a shadowy group with links to al-Qaeda.
He has voiced support for al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden, though he denied having personal links with him or with any terrorist group.
In March 2005, he was jailed for conspiracy over the 2002 Bali bombings, in which 202 people died - but his conviction was eventually quashed on appeal.
In June this year judges jailed him for 15 years for supporting a militant training camp.
It is the longest sentence he has yet received, but analysts are already questioning what effect it will have, because he can still preach his message from his jail cell.
School founder
Born in 1938, in East Java, Ba'asyir has spent decades teaching religion, and became influential among radical Muslims in South East Asia during the 1970s.
The consistent theme of his teachings has been that Islamic communities are the necessary pre-condition for setting up an Islamic state.
In 1972, he co-founded the Al-Mukmin Islamic boarding school in Ngruki, Central Java, with Abdullah Sangkar.
Many graduates of the school have been implicated in Islamist militant attacks, and the International Crisis Group describes the school as the "Ivy League" for recruits to Jemaah Islamiah.
In the late 1970s, he was jailed for subversion by authoritarian leader Suharto after he was accused of promoting an Islamic state.
He later fled to Malaysia and lived in exile to avoid additional jail time, only returning to Indonesia following the fall of Suharto in 1998.
Almost immediately he renewed his campaign for Indonesia to become a strict Sharia state.
'Evil conspiracy'
Following the Bali bombings in 2002, Ba'asyir was arrested and accused in connection with a number of bomb attacks, including the attack on the Marriott Hotel in Jakarta in 2003, which killed 14 people.
He was even accused of planning the assassination of Megawati Sukarnoputri, Indonesia's former president.
But prosecutors struggled to make any of the charges stick.
In October 2004, he was charged with involvement in the Bali and Marriott Hotel attacks.
After a trial, judges ruled that he had not been directly involved in the attacks, but he had given his approval.
He was sentenced to 30 months in jail for being part of an "evil conspiracy". Charges related to the Marriott attack were dismissed.
He was released in June 2006, and had his conviction overturned by the Supreme Court six months later.
The cleric has repeatedly denied all the charges against him, as well as any link with JI, and condemned the Bali bombing as a "brutal act".
In May 2010, Ba'asyir returned to the spotlight when officers raided the headquarters of the Jemaah Ansharut Tauhid (JAT) - a group he had established in 2008.
Three JAT members were arrested and accused of having links to a militant training camp in Aceh.
The Aceh group - which included members of most of Indonesia's high-profile militant groups - was accused of plotting to form a militia capable of attacking high-level government targets, as a prelude to forming an Islamic state.
On 9 August 2010, Ba'asyir was arrested in West Java by anti-terror police and accused of having links to the Aceh camp.
He was convicted of providing funding to the camp and playing an active part in setting it up.
He has always insisted he has no links with the training camp, and JAT has denied any connection to extremism, insisting it is a legitimate Islamic organisation.

She has been the face of large Hong Kong protests against a controversial extradition bill. But the young woman, who came to be known as "Shield Girl", tells the BBC that she will fight on despite the bill's indefinite suspension. | By Grace TsoiBBC News, Hong Kong
Darkness had fallen. Crowds were thinning. A lone girl, in a meditative pose, defiantly sat in front of a row of riot police.
It has become an iconic image from the Hong Kong demonstrations.
"Bravery in the face of brutality. Beautiful," wrote an observer on Twitter.
"The innocence of youth and the riot shields of the authority," wrote Hong Kong-based Irish journalist Aaron Mc Nicholas.
Dubbed "Shield Girl", she even inspired this artwork from one of China's leading dissident artists Badiucao.
Her name is Lam Ka Lo. The 26-year-old came to the Admiralty district by herself, where the government headquarters are located, on Tuesday night, hours ahead of a rally organised by Civil Human Rights Front.
There were hundreds of protesters with her at that spot, but more and more police officers in full riot gear arrived.
"No one really dared to stand so close to the line of police officers," she said, adding that she did not fear police but worried that other protesters might be injured.
She started meditating and chanting the Om mantra when tension was running high.
"I just wanted to send my positive vibes," she said. "But protesters also hurled insults at the police. At that moment, I just wanted fellow protesters to sit next to me and not to chide them."
But the young woman doesn't want to be the face of the protests.
"I don't want attention," Lam said. "But if people think that it was moving to see me sit down in front of the police, I hope more people would be encouraged to be braver, to express themselves."
Meditating and anger
Lam's calmness is largely owed to her practice of meditation.
An avid traveller, Lam has visited more than a dozen countries in Asia, Latin America, North America and Europe. She dabbled in meditation during her trip to Nepal four years ago - when the country was rattled by a deadly earthquake.
The young woman says she's a naturally emotional person, but meditation has helped her be more mindful of her feelings and achieve inner peace.
But Lam, who spent every single day in the streets during the 79-day Umbrella Movement in 2014, was not emotionally prepared by the dramatic showdown between police officers and protesters on Wednesday afternoon.
"I do feel a bit of hatred because some students were injured by police," she said, adding that she was not at the protest site when the violence unfolded on Wednesday. "We are only human to have feelings."
The young woman says, however, the protest movement should not alienate police officers and still believes non-violence is the way to achieve the goal of the protesters.
"Violence doesn't solve anything."
Fight on
On Saturday, the protesters scored what is being seen as a major concession. Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam said the extradition bill would be shelved, and no timetable for its re-introduction given.
But Lam Ka Lo remains defiant.
"I don't see it as a success."
She wants to see the bill withdrawn, the Wednesday clashes not categorised as riot, and the release of arrested protesters.
She urges her fellow protesters to continue their fight and join the march on Sunday.
"Come with your friends and family. Come in groups. Express yourselves in your own ways. I used meditation, but it doesn't mean it's the only way. Everyone can protest creatively and meaningfully."

China's state media appear to be trying to capitalise on the health scare involving the New Zealand dairy giant Fonterra to boost consumer confidence in domestic brands. But judging from online reaction, few Chinese parents have been convinced. | By Qiang ZhangBBC Monitoring
Fonterra's admission that, due to a production fault, some batches of its products contain bacteria that can cause botulism has attracted immense attention from users of China's vibrant social media platforms, particularly the Twitter-like weibo microblogs.
There has been a lot of anger and disillusionment from those parents who have spent a fortune on foreign milk formula to minimise health risks for their babies.
Weibo user "Yaya Niur" wrote: "I have always been careful with milk powder and have never bought domestic products. Upon realizing that I've still fallen victim, I'm speechless with anger! Sorry baby, mummy has failed to protect you."
"Miaoxiaojin" said: "Now that even imported milk formulas are problematic, I wonder whose products we can trust."
State media appears to see Fonterra's plight as an opportunity for Chinese milk producers to win back public confidence, most of which was lost after melamine-laced milk powders killed at least six babies in China in 2008.
The People's Daily, the Communist Party's most authoritative mouthpiece, printed the Fonterra story as its top headline on the front page of its overseas edition, setting out the authorities' efforts to prevent the tainted products from entering the Chinese market, and warning consumers not to "blindly trust" foreign brands.
'Negligence'
But the media's criticism of foreign milk brands triggered a backlash from Chinese netizens.
"Miss Feng Mum" said: "Chinese propaganda is belittling foreign milk powder in order to boost domestic brands. But who will trust those deceptive domestic producers?"
"Chauvet_Zhao" wrote: "Foreign producers carry out preventive recalls, but domestic companies get exposed only when their milk powder kills people."
"Model Brother II" said: "Foreign milk products get contaminated due to negligence, which is equivalent to 'manslaughter'. Domestic producers intentionally add melamine to milk powder, which is 'intentional murder'."
Some netizens even suggested that Fonterra's revelations showed the company's conscience and sense of responsibility.
"Liuchen Xingyu" said: "It is better than concealing the problem. It is most terrible when the government helps cover up scandals."
"Taoziyuan" wrote: "There are no companies in China that are so conscientious as to reveal their own shortcomings. Such is the difference between China and New Zealand."
Pastures new
Some Chinese media outlets have also acknowledged the fact that Chinese dairy producers may not be in the best position to take advantage of the Fonterra milk scare.
Song Liang, a dairy industry expert, told Shanghai's Diyi Caijing Ribao newspaper: "It will be a lengthy process for domestic dairy products to gain consumers' trust."
"This case may be good for the domestic dairy industry, but the biggest beneficiary will probably be dairy exporters from countries other than New Zealand," he said.
On weibo, unofficial Chinese dairy traders based in Europe and North America are already reporting an upsurge in inquiries from mothers in China anxious to find alternative milk sources.
A UK-based Chinese trader wrote on his microblog: "We only sell Aptamil and Cow & Gate from Britain. Europe, especially the UK, conducts the strictest food safety tests."
"Ye Xiaorao", a parent in Anhui Province, exclaimed on weibo: "Last night, we urgently switched to a European milk powder for our baby daughter. God, it's been such torment for us parents!"

Many were taken by surprise by the events in Washington, but to those who closely follow conspiracy and extreme right groups online, the warning signs were all there. | By Shayan Sardarizadeh and Jessica LussenhopBBC Monitoring and BBC News Washington
At 02:21 Eastern Standard Time on election night, President Trump walked onto a stage set up in the East Room of the White House and declared victory.
"We were getting ready to win this election. Frankly, we did win this election."
His speech came an hour after he'd tweeted: "They are trying to steal the election".
He hadn't won. There was no victory to steal. But to many of his most fervent supporters, these facts didn't matter, and still don't.
Sixty five days later, a motley coalition of rioters stormed the US Capitol building. They included believers in the QAnon conspiracy theory, members of "Stop the Steal" groups, far-right activists, online trolls and others.
On Friday 8 January - some 48 hours after the Washington riots - Twitter began a purge of some of the most influential pro-Trump accounts that had been pushing conspiracies and urging direct action to overturn the election result.
Then came the big one - Mr Trump himself.
The president was permanently banned from tweeting to his more than 88 million followers "due to the risk of further incitement of violence".
The violence in Washington shocked the world and seemed to catch the authorities off guard.
But for anyone who had been carefully watching the unfolding story - online and on the streets of American cities - it came as no surprise.
The idea of a rigged election was seeded by the president in speeches and on Twitter, months before the vote.
On election day, the rumors started just as Americans were going to the polls.
A video of a Republican poll watcher being denied entry to a Philadelphia polling station went viral. It was a genuine error, caused by confusion about the rules. The man was later allowed into the station to observe the count.
But it became the first of many videos, images, graphics and claims that went viral in the days that followed, giving rise to a hashtag: #StopTheSteal.
The message behind it was clear - Mr Trump had won a landslide victory, but dark forces in the establishment "deep state" had stolen it from him.
In the early hours of Wednesday 4 November, while votes were still being counted and three days before the US networks called the election for Joe Biden, President Trump claimed victory, alleging "a fraud on the American public".
Mr Trump did not provide any evidence to back up his claims. Studies carried out for previous US elections have shown that voter fraud is extremely rare.
By mid-afternoon a Facebook group called "Stop the Steal" was created and quickly became one of the fastest-growing in the platform's history. By Thursday morning, it had added more than 300,000 members.
Many of the posts focused on unsubstantiated allegations of mass voter fraud, including manufactured claims that thousands of dead people had voted and that voting machines had somehow been programmed to flip votes from Mr Trump to Mr Biden.
But some of the posts were more alarming, speaking of the need for a "civil war" or "revolution".
By Thursday afternoon, Facebook had taken down Stop the Steal, but not before it had generated nearly half a million comments, shares, likes, and reactions.
Dozens of other groups quickly sprang up in its place.
The idea of a stolen election continued to spread online and take hold. Soon, a dedicated Stop the Steal website was launched in a bid to register "boots on the ground to protect the integrity of the vote".
On Saturday 7 November, major news organisations declared that Joe Biden had won the election. In Democratic strongholds, throngs of people took to the streets to celebrate. But the reaction online from Mr Trump's most ardent supporters was one of anger and defiance.
They planned a rally in Washington DC for the following Saturday, dubbed the Million MAGA (Make America Great Again) March.
Trump tweeted that he might try to stop by the demonstration and "say hello".
Previous pro-Trump rallies in Washington had failed to attract large crowds. But thousands gathered at Freedom Plaza that sunny morning.
One extremism researcher called it the "debut of the pro-Trump insurgency".
As Trump's motorcade drove through the city, supporters screaming with delight rushed to catch a glimpse of the president, who beamed at them wearing a red MAGA hat.
While mainstream conservative figures were present, the event was dominated by far-right groups.
Dozens of members of the far-right, anti-immigrant, all-male group Proud Boys, who have repeatedly been involved in violent street protests and were among those who would later break into the US Capitol, joined the march. Militia groups, far-right media figures and promoters of conspiracy theories were also there.
As night fell, clashes between Trump supporters and counter-protesters broke out, including a brawl about five blocks from the White House.
The violence - although largely contained by police on this occasion - was a clear sign of things to come.
By now, President Trump and his legal team had invested their hopes in dozens of legal cases.
Although a number of courts had already dismissed fraud allegations, many in the pro-Trump online world became fascinated with two lawyers with close ties to the president - Sidney Powell and L Lin Wood.
Ms Powell and Mr Wood promised they were preparing cases of voter fraud so comprehensive that when released, they would destroy the case for Mr Biden having won the presidency.
Ms Powell, 65, a conservative activist and former federal prosecutor, told Fox News that the effort would "release the Kraken" - a reference to a gigantic sea monster from Scandinavian folklore that rises up from the ocean to devour its enemies.
The "Kraken" quickly became an internet meme, representing sprawling, unsubstantiated claims of widespread election fraud.
Ms Powell and Mr Wood became heroes to followers of the QAnon conspiracy theory - who believe President Trump and a secret military intelligence team are battling a deep state made up of Satan-worshipping paedophiles in the Democratic Party, media, business and Hollywood.
The lawyers became a conduit between the president and his most conspiracy-minded supporters - a number of whom ended up inside the Capitol on 6 January.
Ms Powell and Mr Wood were successful in whipping up sound and fury online, but their legal efforts came to nothing.
When they released almost 200 pages of documents in late November, it became clear that their lawsuit consisted predominantly of conspiracy theories and debunked allegations that had already been rejected by dozens of courts.
The filings contained simple legal errors - and basic misspellings and typos.
Still, the meme lived on. The terms "Kraken" and "Release the Kraken" were used more than a million times on Twitter before the Capitol riot.
As courts rejected Mr Trump's legal cases, far-right activists increasingly targeted election workers and officials.
Death threats were made against a Georgia election worker, and Republican officials in the state - including Governor Brian Kemp, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and the official in charge of the state's voting systems, Gabriel Sterling - were branded "traitors" online.
Mr Sterling issued an emotional and prescient warning to the president in a press conference on 1 December.
"Someone's going to get hurt, someone's going to get shot, someone's going to get killed, and it's not right," he said.
In Michigan in early December, Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, a Democrat, had just finished trimming her Christmas tree with her four-year-old son when she heard a commotion outside her Detroit home.
About 30 protesters with banners stood outside, shouting "Stop the steal!" through megaphones.
"Benson, you are a villain," one person yelled.
"You're a threat to democracy!" called another.
One of the demonstrators live-streamed the protest on Facebook, stating that her group was "not going away".
It was just one of a rash of protests targeting people involved in the vote.
In Georgia, a constant stream of Trump supporters drove past Mr Raffensperger's home, honking their horns. His wife received threats of sexual violence.
In Arizona, demonstrators gathered outside of the home of Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, a Democrat, at one point warning: "We are watching you."
On 11 December, the Supreme Court rejected an attempt by the state of Texas to throw out election results.
As the president's legal and political windows continued to close, the language in pro-Trump online circles became increasingly violent.
On 12 December, a second Stop the Steal rally was held in the capital. Once again, thousands attended, and once again prominent far-right activists, QAnon supporters, fringe MAGA groups and militia movements were among the demonstrators.
Michael Flynn, Mr Trump's former national security advisor, likened the protesters to the biblical soldiers and priests breaching the walls of Jericho. This echoed the rally organisers' call for "Jericho Marches" to overturn the election result.
Nick Fuentes, the leader of Groypers, a far-right movement that targets Republican politicians and figures they deem too moderate, told the crowd: "We are going to destroy the GOP!"
The march once again turned violent.
Then two days later, the Electoral College certified Mr Biden's victory, one of the final steps required for him to take office.
On online platforms, supporters were becoming resigned to the view that all legal avenues were dead ends, and only direct action could save the Trump presidency.
Since election day, alongside Mr Flynn, Ms Powell and Mr Wood, a new figure had rapidly gained prominence among pro-Trump circles online.
Ron Watkins is the son of Jim Watkins, the man behind 8chan and 8kun - message boards filled with extreme language and views, violence and extreme sexual content. They gave rise to the QAnon movement.
In a series of viral tweets on 17 December, Ron Watkins suggested President Trump should follow the example of Roman leader Julius Caesar, and capitalise on "fierce loyalty of the military" in order to "restore the Republic".
Ron Watkins encouraged his more than 500,000 followers to make #CrossTheRubicon a Twitter trend, referring to the moment when Caesar launched a civil war by crossing the Rubicon river in 49BC. The hashtag was also used by more mainstream figures - including the chairwoman of Arizona Republican Party, Kelli Ward.
In a separate tweet, Ron Watkins said Mr Trump must invoke the Insurrection Act, which empowers the president to deploy the military and federal forces.
Mr Trump met Ms Powell, Mr Flynn and others at a strategy meeting at the White House the following day, 18 December.
During the meeting, according to the New York Times, Mr Flynn called on Mr Trump to impose martial law and deploy the military to "rerun" the election.
The meeting further stoked online chatter about "war" and "revolution" in far-right circles. Many came to see the joint session of Congress on 6 January, normally a formality, as a last roll of the dice.
A wishful story began to take hold among QAnon and some MAGA supporters. They hoped that Vice-President Mike Pence, who was set to preside over the 6 January ceremony, would ignore the electoral college votes.
The president, they said, would then deploy the military to quell any unrest, order the mass arrest of the "deep state cabal" who had rigged the election and send them to Guantanamo Bay military prison.
Back in the land of reality, none of this was remotely feasible. But it launched a movement for "patriot caravans" to organise ride shares to help transport thousands from around the country to Washington DC on 6 January.
Long processions of vehicles flying Trump flags and sometimes towing elaborately decorated trailers gathered in car parks in cities including Louisville, Kentucky, Atlanta, Georgia, and Scranton, Pennsylvania.
"We are on our way," one caravaner posted on Twitter with a picture of about two dozen supporters.
At an Ikea parking lot in North Carolina, another man showed off his truck. "The flags are a little tattered - we'll call them battle flags now," he said.
As it became clear that Mr Pence and other key Republicans would follow the law and allow Congress to certify Mr Biden's win, the language towards them became vicious.
"Pence will be in jail awaiting trial for treason," Mr Wood tweeted. "He will face execution by firing squad."
Online discussion reached boiling point. References to firearms, war and violence were rife on self-styled "free speech" social platforms such as Gab and Parler, which are popular with Trump supporters, as well as on other sites.
In Proud Boys groups, where members had once supported police, some turned against authorities, whom they deemed to no longer be on their side.
Hundreds of posts on a popular pro-Trump site, TheDonald, openly discussed plans to cross barricades, carry firearms and other weapons to the march in defiance of Washington's strict gun laws. There was open chatter about storming the Capitol and arresting "treasonous" members of Congress.
On Wednesday 6 January, Mr Trump addressed a crowd of thousands at the Ellipse, a park just south of the White House, for more than an hour.
Early on he encouraged supporters to "peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard", but he ended with a warning. "We fight like hell, and if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore.
"So we're going to, we're going to walk down Pennsylvania Avenue… and we're going to the Capitol."
To some observers, the potential for violence that day was clear from the outset.
Michael Chertoff, former secretary of homeland security under President George W Bush, blamed the Capitol Police, who reportedly turned down offers of assistance from the much larger National Guard ahead of time. He characterised it as "the worst failure of a police force I can think of".
"I think it was a very foreseeable potential negative turn of events," Mr Chertoff said.
"To be blunt, it was obvious. If you read the newspaper and were awake, you understood that you've got a lot of people who have been convinced there was a fraudulent election. Some of them are extremists, and violent. Some of the groups openly said, 'Bring your guns'."
Still, many Americans were astonished by Wednesday's scenes, like James Clark, a 68-year-old Republican from Virginia.
"I find it absolutely shocking. I didn't think it would come to this," he told the BBC.
But the signs were there for weeks. A hodgepodge of extreme and conspiratorial groups were convinced that the election was stolen. Online, they repeatedly talked about arming themselves, and violence.
Perhaps the authorities didn't think their posts were serious, or specific enough to investigate. They now face pointed questions.
For Joe Biden's inauguration on 20 January, Mr Chertoff is expecting a "much stronger showing" by security services than last Wednesday night.
But that hasn't stopped many on extreme platforms calling for further violence and disruption on the day.
There are questions, too, for the major social media platforms, which enabled conspiracy theories to reach millions of people.
Late on Friday, Twitter deleted the accounts of Mr Flynn, the former Trump advisor, the "Kraken" lawyers Ms Powell and Mr Wood, and Mr Watkins. Then Mr Trump himself.
Arrests of those who stormed the Capitol continue. But most of the rioters still live in a parallel online universe - a subterranean world filled with alternative facts.
They have already come up with fanciful explanations to dismiss Mr Trump's video statement, posted on Twitter the day after the riots, in which he acknowledged for the first time that "a new administration will be inaugurated on 20 January".
He can't possibly be giving up, they contend. Among their new theories - it's not really him in the video but a computer-generated "deep fake". Or perhaps the president is being held hostage.
Many still believe Mr Trump will prevail.
There's no evidence behind any of this, but it does prove one thing.
No matter what happens to Donald Trump, the rioters who stormed the US Capitol are not backing down anytime soon.

In 1984 police and striking miners clashed violently at Orgreave in South Yorkshire. But now there is growing pressure for an inquiry to investigate what went on that day. | By Dan JohnsonNews correspondent
Orgreave is an ugly word. Stubbornly linked with one of the most violent episodes in British industrial history.
Even the developers transforming the place are trying to change it. "We are Waverley," declare the signs. "A vibrant new community providing leading-edge jobs and desirable new homes."
It's a place Stefan Wysocki will never forget and yet he's struggling to recognise it.
This is the first time he's been back in 32 years and a lot has changed. "Ah," says the retired miner in a gruff north Midlands accent, "that's where I got arrested, just in front of that bungalow there. I'd been chased up the field and over this bridge by the police. I needed to sit down and get my breath back. Then I heard one of them say, 'Get that big bastard there with the white shirt on'."
Stefan's fingers tremble as he describes his arrest. The police officer was right about Stefan's size. He is stocky, taller than most miners. He walks with a limp after a roof collapsed underground crushing his foot. He's used to hard work and the hard knocks of a dangerous industry with a macho culture.
But Orgreave's not an easy place to return to; the memories aren't pleasant to recall. "They marched me back down the hill to the line of police officers with shields and bounced me off them. The line opened up and they knocked ten bells of crap out of me. I was punched and kicked… I walked in and I was carried out."
He was one of thousands who flocked to Orgreave on that hot summer Monday - 18 June 1984, three months into the dispute. The striking miners wanted to stop lorries carrying coke to fuel the Scunthorpe steel furnaces. They thought disrupting production would help win their fight against pit closures and job losses.
The day was to become one of the pivotal moments of the year-long strike, a bloody battle that saw nearly a hundred miners arrested and even more injuries between police and pickets. At stake for the miners was the future of their industry, and livelihoods built on coal. The government saw a threat to law and order that the police had to resist.
As usual, there had been a "push", the miners pressing up against the police shields. But Stefan is firm in his view that the decision to charge at the crowd with horses and truncheons was over the top, and even showed a deliberate attempt to give a clear message that the miners would not succeed.
Stefan admits stones were thrown at the lines of police officers in riot gear who'd been bussed in from around the country. He's adamant he never threw anything but the police said he did.
Paul was one of those told to charge - a young police constable from Merseyside called into South Yorkshire to bolster the numbers. Paul isn't his real name. He too finds it difficult to talk about Orgreave and fears the consequences of speaking out. But he is prepared to give evidence if there is any inquiry.
His unit was on duty at 05:00 to make sure the lorries could leave. He was among 6,000 officers along with police horses and dogs. But Paul claims their orders - which came from senior South Yorkshire Police officers - went much further.
"They anticipated a lot of trouble," he says. "They told us if there was any trouble at all we needed to stamp it out straight away and use as much force as possible."
Paul had policed other picket lines during the strike but says Orgreave felt different. "[South Yorkshire Police] were anticipating trouble and in some ways relishing it and looking forward to it. It was a licence to do what we wanted which I didn't think was right because we didn't know what was going to happen."
When the order came to draw their truncheons and charge at the crowd of miners, Paul and a few of his colleagues were uneasy.
"Some of us stood saying 'they're actually doing nothing here' so a few of us held our line and then officers with short shields came from behind and just charged these miners who were virtually doing nothing.
"And the next thing is there were running battles and miners were falling over and police officers were batoning them."
It was the first time police in the UK used "short shield" tactics. Previously they stood behind long, tall shields, defensively holding a line.
Now instead, officers with small, round shields and truncheons drawn went on the offensive, breaking up the crowd and making arrests.
On the video the police themselves recorded, a senior officer is heard giving instructions to use force: "No heads, bodies only." That was an order to incapacitate but not seriously injure - an order that didn't reach everyone.
There were injuries on both sides but more miners needed treatment. There was shock at the level of violence captured in TV pictures - police officers and pickets in hand to hand fighting. One miner was hit so hard the officer broke his truncheon.
Exactly what happened has been argued over for a generation. The BBC's television report on the evening news that night was criticised by the miners and their supporters for giving a misleading impression. The assistant director general conceded later that some coverage "might not have been wholly impartial".
But the key question in the lasting dispute of Orgreave is who was responsible for escalating the violence?
The police say they were being hit by rocks and bottles and had to react to protect themselves. The miners say they were peacefully protesting when the police charged and attacked them. And it's not just brutality the police stand accused of.
Miners who'd been arrested - 95 of them - were taken to an old office block opposite the coking works that served as the police command centre. Prisoners were processed before being taken to a police station and eventually put before magistrates. Their details were noted and their photograph was taken with the officers who had arrested them.
Some of those officers have described how they went upstairs to a room - like a school classroom - with desks where they could write their statements, a formal account of why they'd made the arrest.
But many of those officers had come from across the country in the dark in the early hours of the morning. They didn't really know where they were. They'd lost track of time and didn't know the local road names - the sorts of details that would be needed.
They didn't have to worry - a team of South Yorkshire Police detectives was on hand to help. But it's alleged that what happened in that classroom went far beyond assistance with times and place names.
South Yorkshire Police has been accused of dictating chunks of statements in a co-ordinated attempt to prove the arrested miners were guilty of more serious offences.
Four years ago the BBC got hold of hundreds of police statements that had been mouldering away in a garage.
They revealed that dozens of officers - from different police forces, involved in separate arrests - had written the same phrases, again and again, virtually word-for-word.
The suggestion is that by controlling the narrative and exaggerating the extent of the violence from the miners, the police could provide evidence of more serious offences, evidence that could mean longer prison sentences.
Soon after this was broadcast in 2012, South Yorkshire Police referred the matter to the Independent Police Complaints Commission. Around the same time a group of ex-miners and their supporters got together to call for a public inquiry into the actions of the police - the Orgreave Truth & Justice Campaign was born.
Documents released since then reveal that the officers who oversaw the gathering of statements were detectives from South Yorkshire's Serious Crime Squad.
The team was led by Detective Inspector Derek Smith. Working with him on 18 June 1984 was Detective Sergeant Glynn Connor and Detective Constables John Hudson, Keith McSloy and Stephen Wyatt. Their names appear as witnesses on dozens of police statements.
Derek Smith's own statement lays out how the operation was run. "Our duties consisted of collating evidence relating to demonstrators arrested at that location."
But things changed. "From the first person arrested it was utter chaos due to the volume of police officers involved. I established from them what had taken place and instructed them that I would dictate the opening paragraphs of their statements, which would contain their location and an agreed account of what had taken place generally."
Mr Smith notes in his statement that he couldn't see the demonstrators or the front line officers from the command post. He made it "clear that if there was anything they (the arresting officers) disagreed with they must make their statements accordingly".
When he was approached recently he said officers from other forces weren't under his command therefore he had no control over what they wrote in their statements.
Mr Smith told the BBC his team didn't deal with arrests by any South Yorkshire officers, even though some of the statements suggest they did.
Some officers, including South Yorkshire constables, named Smith and members of his team when they were asked in court about their statement being dictated.
Mr Wyatt denied any collusion over the statements. He said: "I am keen to answer any questions that [an] inquiry may ask of me but, in that context, I feel it would be inappropriate at this time for me to comment further."
Mr Smith said: "Arrests were made by officers from other forces who had their own chain of command. Neither I nor my officers had any control over them or the contents of their statements of evidence."
Mr McSloy said: "I will be more than willing to answer any questions, asked by yourselves or a review panel, to the best of my ability at the appropriate time." But he added he could not comment before any review.
The other two former detectives approached for comment did not respond to the request.
Mr Smith and his officers were following the orders of the Chief Constable of South Yorkshire, Peter Wright. He'd come to the job from Merseyside where as deputy chief constable he'd been in command during the Toxteth riots of 1981. Many of his former officers were in the police lines at Orgreave. After the strike, Wright explained the evidence gathering operation to the Police Committee, the group of local councillors overseeing his force.
The confrontation at Orgreave didn't come out of the blue. Picketing miners had been gathering there in growing numbers through May and June of 1984. The level of violence had been increasing too.
The Sun's front page headline on 30 May was "Charge: Mounties rout miners".
The chief constable decided that instead of the usual charge of disorderly conduct more serious charges of unlawful assembly and riot would be pressed, according to a document from September 1985.
A chief superintendent was appointed to "organise the collection and collation of evidence". It was this chief superintendent who oversaw Smith and his team.
Ninety-five miners from Orgreave were charged with unlawful assembly or riot. Stefan Wysocki faced a riot conviction which could have meant 25 years in prison.
The case took almost a year to come to court. "It was a horrendous year and it was horrendous in court," he says.
For 48 days the miners listened to the evidence that could put them behind bars. But cracks started appearing in the accounts of the police officers.
A miner accused of throwing a stone had actually been photographed holding a pork pie. Officers who claimed to be in certain locations at specific times were proven to be elsewhere. Some admitted to the court that parts of their statements had been dictated by detectives.
One officer was questioned about the signature of the colleague who had witnessed his statement.
It didn't look like the signature on the constable's own statement. He denied forging it and one of the defence barristers asked for the opinion of a handwriting expert.
During the break for lunch the statement inexplicably disappeared from the courtroom - "a most extraordinary thing", noted the judge.
There was, however, a photocopy which was sent for analysis. When the expert's report came back the prosecution suddenly and dramatically dropped the case against the miner arrested by those two officers.
Within 10 days, the whole trial had collapsed and the other miners awaiting a court date were told they had no case to answer. It was an embarrassing climb-down.
There were celebrations among the miners, and questions about the conduct of the police. But there's no evidence anyone was disciplined or held to account.
Government papers released last month show the Home Secretary Leon Brittan and the Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher discussed speeding up prosecutions and giving greater publicity to convictions and sentences.
The then home secretary made it clear to the South Yorkshire Police Authority that proposals to phase out police horses and dogs were unacceptable.
"I think it was all set up from start to finish. I think Mrs Thatcher wanted to prove a point," says Stefan Wysocki. "She wanted it to end her way, to put us down and make us look like thugs. But we weren't. To be treated like that - it was disgusting. It's still disgusting."
Lord Tebbit was secretary of state for trade and industry at the time - he was present at many of the top level meetings involving the prime minister and home secretary - and he believed the action taken to stop pickets blocking a plant was entirely reasonable.
"The British police is not some sort of stormtrooper group like Hitler's National Socialist German Workers Party or anything like that. They were there to preserve the peace. Had the pickets obeyed the law all would have been well. They chose to use physical force to try to stop men going back and forth on their legitimate path to work so the police had no option but to prevent that from happening."
Orgreave stands as a turning point in the miners' strike, in policing tactics and industrial relations. There was no more mass picketing there after 18 June.
Within weeks the first miners began returning to work. Though many clung on until March 1985, ultimately they were beaten. Many would argue it showed once mighty trade unions had been weakened, as state owned industries were privatised. Kellingley Colliery, Britain's last deep coal mine, closed at the end of last year.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission spent almost three years weighing up the evidence. In 2015, it concluded there were issues worthy of investigation but it wasn't in the public interest.
The miners' strike 1984-85
South Yorkshire Police would not address the specific points that have now been raised, saying it is mindful of a possible review. But the force says it is "acutely aware of the impact such long-standing unanswered questions can have". It has vowed to participate fully in any inquiry.
It is the current Home Secretary, Amber Rudd, who must now decide what happens. She has promised an announcement before the end of October. There are voices urging her to resist launching an inquiry, like Lord Tebbit.
"It would be a waste of time and of money. The facts are absolutely clear, they are well-known. We don't need to rehearse it at great benefit to the legal profession who will make millions out of it - to what end? These are events of 30 years ago, the facts are known."
But for many the facts are still to emerge. There is a relentless rumble of unease about Orgreave, from those who say they're still waiting for the truth.

While in the past few years protests in Iraq have become common, the latest wave of unrest which has reportedly left over 100 people dead and thousands more injured could mark a dangerous turning point. | By Renad MansourResearch Fellow, Chatham House
Iraqis are not simply calling for the downfall of a leader or political party. Instead, they are calling for the end of a political system which has existed since the US-led invasion toppled Saddam Hussein in 2003 - a system which, they argue, has failed them.
They specifically point to the way government appointments are made on the basis of sectarian or ethnic quotas (a system known as muhassasa), rather than on merit. Aggrieved Iraqis say this has allowed Shia, Kurdish, Sunni and other leaders to abuse public funds, enrich themselves and their followers and effectively pillage the country of its wealth with very little benefit to most citizens.
Coming to power last year, Prime Minister Adel Abdel Mahdi's government of technocrats promised a solution to the corruption and the gap between the elite and ordinary citizens. Almost one year in, he has proven unable and unwilling to truly push back against the political class.
Instead, he has continued to cut deals with the same elite. After all, these leaders put him in power. And without a political party, this prime minister - a compromise candidate put in place by the two biggest competing Shia-led blocs - is at the behest of the political class more than any of his predecessors.
Transformative moment
These protests have led to a particularly dangerous environment.
Some political figures who view themselves as the protectors of this system consider these protests to be existential threats. Unlike ever before in Baghdad, these leaders have turned to violence - using snipers and assassins - to target protesters and defend their system.
Last year, during protests in Basra, security forces similarly fired on demonstrators leading to a swift end as protesters retreated, fearing for their lives. This year, in Baghdad and elsewhere, the protectors of the system are applying the lessons of Basra 2018.
In the past, protests have usually erupted during the summer, when scorching heat and the government's inability to provide basic services - such as electricity or water - reaches a boiling point and Iraqis hit the streets.
Ironically, this year, services have slightly improved, owed partly to heavy rainfall and a less intense summer. But reforms to the system remain a distant reality.
Last weekend's demotion of Staff Lieutenant General Abdul-Wahab al-Saadi, who has become a legendary figure who led the fight against the Islamic State (IS) group, angered many Iraqis.
They believed the national hero lost his job because of his efforts to fight corruption and the political class within his counter-terrorism service (CTS). And to them, if the hero who fought IS can't fight corruption and the political class, then who can?
Sixteen years since regime change, Iraqis - and particularly the youth in the protests - are fed up with the façade of reform and with leaders who have learned to use the right words but are unwilling or unable to reform the system.
Yet, these protests are largely leaderless and lack any organisational structure. They are unlikely to lead to systemic change or revolution. Instead, the protectors of the system will double down by using violence, suppression, and coercion, to limit freedoms of association and speech.
This weekend's attacks on media outlets in Baghdad and the cutting of the internet are glimpses into this new environment.
Therefore, while the protests and bloody response suggest a transformative moment, it may be towards an Iraq that is even more authoritarian.

The Guernsey quarry used to house the fallout from the Torrey Canyon oil disaster could be clean by the end of the year, Public Services has said. | Rob Roussel, senior project manager, said the bioremediation process was successfully breaking down the oil into carbon dioxide and water.
He said the process was at the mercy of the weather, but would hopefully be complete by the end of next month.
The oil was dumped in the quarry in the Vale after the tanker spill in 1967.
The 974ft (297m) Torrey Canyon was carrying 100,000 tons of crude oil when it hit the UK's south-west coast.
The shipwreck coated miles of Cornish beach in brown sludge with the pollution stretching from Hartland Point in North Devon to the Channel Islands and even the coast of Normandy.

Back in the 1990s something happened in central Bosnia-Herzegovina that inspired people to this day and helps explain why that country now has more men fighting in Syria and Iraq (over 300), as a proportion of its population, than most in Europe. | By Mark UrbanDiplomatic and defence editor, Newsnight
The formation of a "Mujahideen Battalion" in 1992, composed mainly of Arab volunteers in central Bosnia, was a landmark. Today the dynamic of jihad has been reversed and it is Bosnians who are travelling to Arab lands.
"There is a war between the West and Islam," says Aimen Dean, who, as a young Saudi Arabian volunteer, travelled to fight in central Bosnia in 1994. "Bosnia gave the modern jihadist movement that narrative. It is the cradle."
UN firefight
Conventional wisdom holds that it was the fight against the Soviet Union's occupation of Afghanistan in the 1980s that created the modern notion of jihad or "holy war". Aimen Dean's point is that the West and the Salafists (or adherents to a strict form of Islam going back to observance in the Middle Ages) were on the same side in Afghanistan, but became enemies in Bosnia.
At first, in 1992, it was just a few dozen militants who went to defend their co-religionists in Bosnia, as Serbian paramilitaries drove them from their homes in the west and east of the country. But it was in early 1993, when it became a three-way fight against Catholic Croatians as well as the Serbs, that the Mujahideen Battalion swelled to the hundreds and started to hunt non-believers more actively.
After Croatian militias massacred around 120 Bosnians in Ahmici in April 1993, the Mujahideen were involved in numerous reprisals. At Guca Gora monastery two months later, they drove out nearly 200 Croatians, who were evacuated by British United Nations troops. They then entered the chapel, desecrating its religious art, and filmed themselves doing it.
British troops fought the Mujahideen Battalion at Guca Gora and elsewhere in the summer of 1993 - the opening shots of that army's fight against jihadism. Vaughan Kent-Payne, then a major commanding a company of British troops involved in those battles, says the foreign fighters were "way more aggressive" than local Bosnian troops, frequently opening fire on the UN's white-painted vehicles.
In the nearby town of Travnik, that had been almost equally Muslim, Croatian and Serb before the war, the foreigners helped drive out thousands, and tried to impose Sharia law on those who remained. They were also involved in kidnapping local Christians, and beheaded one, Dragan Popovic, forcing other captives to kiss his severed head.
'They did Bosnia a disservice'
The Popovic case eventually went to court, so the facts have been well established. But the Mujahideen Battalion was also suspected in many others including the kidnap and murder of aid workers as well as the execution of 20 Croatian prisoners.
The foreigners never amounted to more than one per cent of the fighting force at the disposal of the Sarajevo government, despite the frequent claims of the Serb and Croatian media to have spotted Islamic fanatics from abroad just about everywhere. From an early stage the Mujahideen also started recruiting Bosnians and, by 1995, in the final months of the war, the incorporation of several hundred local men allowed the outfit to be expanded into the Mujahideen Brigade, around 1,500 strong.
By the summer of 1993, the Sarajevo government was starting to wake up to the potentially toxic effect of these jihadists on their image as a multi-ethnic, secular republic. So, in an attempt to control it, the battalion was placed under the command of III Corps, the Bosnian Army formation headquartered in the central city of Zenica.
Its commander at the time, Brigadier General Enver Hadzihasanovic, ended up facing a war crimes trial in the Hague on charges of overall responsibility for some of the Mujahideen's behaviour, including the Travnik kidnappings. In the end, the prosecution dropped those charges, but the general served two years, having been found guilty of having (Bosnian) troops under him who had abused prisoners.
From the outset, the general had felt the Mujahideen were a dubious military asset, and wrote a secret message to army chiefs in 1993, saying: "My opinion is that behind [the Mujahideen] there are some high-ranking politicians and religious leaders." Reflecting now on the jihadists' participation in the war he adds, "they didn't help Bosnia at all, on the contrary, I think they did Bosnia a disservice."
However, as the general's 1993 memo implied, there were some leaders, including Alija Izetbegovic, Bosnia's President at the time, who were happy to welcome the foreign fighters, partly as a way of keeping wealthy Arab donors sweet.
Recruiting ban
When the war ended, under the Dayton Peace Accord, all foreign fighters had to leave, and they were duly ordered out in 1996. Remembering that day, Aimen Dean says there were high emotions, shouting and tears at the Mujahideen base: "And the reason is because everyone was there hoping to die as a martyr. Now that chance was taken from them."
Hundreds of Mujahideen went from Bosnia to Chechnya, Pakistan and Afghanistan. Among their alumni were two of the 9/11 hijackers, the murderer of American hostage Daniel Pearl and numerous other al-Qaeda cadres.
More than 300 of the foreigners remained in Bosnia, buried in its soil, a testimony to the heavy casualties taken by the unit. A few dozen Arabs who had met local women or were fearful of going home also managed to stay, by taking Bosnian citizenship.
Today also there are suggestions in Sarajevo that the SDA - the late President Izetbegovic's party - is not taking a tough enough line against foreign fighters. Only this time they are the hundreds of Bosnians who are choosing to fight in Iraq and Syria. There is "a recalcitrance from more radical elements of the SDA" about condemning those who go to the Middle East to fight, says one Sarajevo diplomat.
In fairness, the Sarajevo government has taken action to ban recruiting for foreign wars (in the name of any religion or cause) and has mounted numerous raids to disrupt extremist networks and arrest those who have returned from fighting in the Middle East.
However, its critics note that for years it turned a blind eye to those Arab Mujahideen who remained in Bosnia but continued to agitate, and has allowed several communities of home-grown Bosnian Salafists to emerge in recent years.
Among those who link what is happening now with the 1990s is Fikret Hadzic, who has been charged with fighting for the so-called Islamic State in Syria. He met our BBC team but said that legal restrictions prevented him giving an on-camera interview, however he was happy to be quoted in print.
Hadzic had joined the Mujahideen unit in 1994. For years after the war he worked as a driver and mechanic before deciding he needed to join the fight against "the Assad Shia regime" in Syria. While he insisted he was not a member of IS, and disapproved of its methods, Hadzic told us that before returning from Syria last year he had met some Bosnian members of the organisation who appeared in an IS video that was released this June.
Other Bosnians who served with that unit back in the war include the leader of an important Salafist mosque in Sarajevo, and Bilal Bosnic, who is in detention awaiting trial. Bosnic is charged with recruiting fighters for the Islamic State group.
With IS now trying to start a "new front for the Caliphate" in the Balkans, there are many who worry that Bosnia is vulnerable because it remains so weak and fragmented, even two decades after its war ended.

Perth and Kinross recycling centre staff will be fitted with body cameras after a "marked increase" in the number of attacks by members of the public. | The council said the 12-week trial was to deter "violence and aggression" against frontline staff.
The cameras will be only be activated if staff believe there is "potential for an inflammatory situation to develop."
The trial may be extended if there is a reduction in the number of incidents.
The local authority said it chose to pilot the scheme at its recycling centres as "the majority of hostile incidents documented to date" have taken place there.
Its environment, enterprise and infrastructure convener, Colin Stewart said: "I believe this technology will not only protect staff but also help drive down unfounded complaints against employees and enable the council to gather better evidence for swifter justice."

A former passenger on the cruise ship MS Westerdam who tested positive for the Covid-19 coronavirus in Malaysia having left the vessel has led to fears that other passengers who have also moved on might have been exposed to the virus. | Efforts are now being made to track down those who have left the ship and Cambodia's decision to let the vessel dock - a move praised by the World Health Organization (WHO) - is now being questioned.
An outbreak on another cruise ship, the Diamond Princess which is quarantined off Japan, is the biggest infection cluster outside China with more than 600 confirmed cases.
How did the Westerdam end up in Cambodia?
The Westerdam was taking 1,455 passengers and 802 crew on a cruise around Asia.
It was heading to Japan, but was turned away. No-one on board was feeling unwell but the ship had previously docked in Hong Kong, which has been badly hit by the virus. That was enough to spark worries the virus could have found its way on board.
The cruise ship was then turned away by four other countries, but last Thursday it was finally allowed to dock in Sihanoukville, Cambodia. The WHO called it an "example of international solidarity".
What happened after it docked?
About 20 passengers had clinical tests on board because they were ill. But the vast majority had their temperature taken and filled out a form. Most of these passengers then left the boat.
One passenger - an 83-year-old US woman - took a plane to Malaysia along with 144 other passengers. She recorded a high temperature on landing in Kuala Lumpur and tested positive for the virus.
Only after that were the remaining passengers quarantined and clinically tested - but by then hundreds had already left.
Dr Asok Karup from the Infectious Diseases Care clinic in Singapore says all passengers should have been clinically screened and quarantined. He described the process of self-certifying on a form that they were symptom-free as "completely inappropriate".
Spending two weeks aboard the vessel did not count as a proper quarantine because passengers could have come into contact with an infected person at any point during that period, he added.
Westerdam's operator Holland America Line said there had been "no indication of COVID-19 on the ship" during its voyage. During the quarantine period it said it carried out temperature checks and health screenings.
But "ships are not designed for quarantine," Dale Fisher, professor in infectious diseases at the National University of Singapore and chair of the WHO's Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network, told the BBC.
"If passengers are allowed to socialise, then it is possible that the virus would continue to transmit during this period of quarantine. In a typical quarantine set-up there are basic comforts, regular temperature taking, and questioning, but no mixing of those quarantined."
"In my view quarantining on board a ship is suboptimal - it would be useful to keep details of all the travellers in case, there is a case later then people can be easily contacted."
Why did Cambodia's leader greet the passengers?
In Sihanoukville - a city with strong economic ties to China - the disembarking passengers were met with flowers and traditional Cambodian scarves by Prime Minister Hun Sen himself.
Neither the country's authoritarian leader nor anyone else in the welcoming party was wearing any protective gear, such as face masks.
Hun Sen had already expressed scepticism about the risks posed by the virus and offered to go personally to the Chinese city of Wuhan - the centre of the outbreak - to tell frightened Cambodians living there that they must stay put for the sake of relations with China, a vital ally for his country.
After that ostentatious welcome, some of passengers then began to be moved to the capital, Phnom Penh, from where some then continued their journeys.
Why did Cambodia take the risk?
Jonathan Head, BBC South East Asia Correspondent
Cambodia's Hun Sen saw the Westerdam as an opportunity. As an authoritarian ruler who has held office for 35 years, he did not have to worry about public criticism over allowing it to dock.
Also, by attracting so much attention to his offer he not only appeared generous, but also diverted media attention from the European Union decision the same week to withdraw vital trade privileges from Cambodia over the government's suppression of the political opposition.
Most of all it gave Hun Sen something he has wanted for a long time; a chance to repair relations with the US. These were badly frayed three years ago when the opposition leader Kem Sokha, who looked on course to beat Hun Sen in the 2018 election, was arrested and accused of plotting, with US backing, to overthrow the government.
Independent media were shut down, journalists arrested, and the US pro-democracy organisation NDI forced to close.
The current US ambassador Patrick Murphy has worked hard to improve ties since he was appointed in August last year. The need to get 650 Americans home off the Westerdam offered a chance to do that.
Where are the passengers now?
On Tuesday Holland America confirmed that all passengers still on board had tested negative.
The Westerdam would stay in port "for at least a few more days until testing is complete on the 747 crewmembers", the company said.
Of the several hundred passengers in hotels in Phnom Penh, some have already had negative tests returned and are free to leave, others are awaiting results.
It is thought that about 650 of the guests on board the ship were from the US, 270 from Canada, 130 from the UK, 100 from the Netherlands, 50 from Germany and several passengers from Australia.
The crew consisted largely of Indonesians and Filipinos.
What is being done in response?
Holland America says it has shared information on the passengers with the respective countries who can now try to get in touch with them.
The UK said it was offering consular assistance to British Westerdam passengers, asking them to get in touch.
Canada is asking all its citizens returning from the vessel to self isolate for 14 days once back home, local media report.
Malaysia has since said all other passengers from the Westerdam transiting in Kuala Lumpur had left the country and that it would not allow any more of the ship's guests to enter or transit.
Thailand has also barred Westerdam passengers from entering - but only after several had already arrived to Bangkok where they were being screened again.
Other countries such as Singapore have also said they won't allow any former Westerdam passengers to enter except for two of its citizens who have already returned and are in home quarantine.

A new shuttle service at Gatwick Airport in West Sussex has opened two months ahead of schedule. | The £45m upgraded service will speed up the time it takes passengers to travel between the north and south terminals.
Passengers have been using buses to travel between the two sites since work began in September 2009.
The new trains were lifted into place in February and replace the old inter-terminal system, which was installed at the airport in 1987.

It was the kind of announcement any company would dream of. | By Giancarlo RinaldiSouth Scotland reporter, BBC Scotland news website
Alpha Solway recently landed a £53m deal to provide personal protective equipment (PPE) to NHS Scotland.
The numbers involved - 232 million surgical masks, six million respirator masks and two million visors - are impressive in themselves.
Now the firm - with sites in Annan and Dumfries - is gearing up to almost quadruple its 70-strong workforce in order to help fulfil the contract.
It is a rapid expansion for a company formed by a merger of Alpha Safety and Solway Safety in the late 1990s.
Sherree Gracie, operations director, said they had been selling disposable respirator masks for a number of years as part of a wide range of PPE products.
However, in the past, they were mainly bought in from Asia.
'Massive disruption'
All that has had to change.
"Where we have come to now with the coronavirus pandemic, the disruption to the supply chain has been massive," said Ms Gracie.
"There was a need obviously within the UK to be able to manufacture and supply the PPE products from local sources."
It has also seen a shift in customer base - away from their traditional industrial demand for a range of protective equipment in the oil and gas, construction and food sectors.
"With the coronavirus pandemic we have ended up basically supplying into the health services," she said.
"The need was such at the time that they were in need of the product fairly quickly."
'Major shift'
It meant Alpha Solway had to transform rapidly as the pandemic struck.
"Certainly within a month there was a major shift in having to supply the health service and I guess a lot of private industrial companies had begun to close because of what was going on," she added.
"So we were able to focus a bit more on supplying into that health market."
Although they are a relatively small operation, based in Annan with a new factory in Dumfries, they are part of the Globus Group - a worldwide PPE supplier.
Ms Gracie said that would help them to cope with demand in what was a "very significant" deal for the local economy with the production site in Dumfries set up specifically for new products.
"You are having to do it much faster than you would normally do these things," she said.
"We have got support at group level to assist us with that.
"We are just basically recruiting people as quickly as we can and putting the structure in place that we need."
'Incredibly proud'
And can it last longer term?
Ms Gracie said sales teams were already working to ensure that was the case - both in their traditional sectors and in the health service.
The company also hopes the move to "shop local" will continue in years to come as the coronavirus outbreak has shown how quickly the supply chain from further afield can be interrupted.
"I really do think that is important that we retain a big chunk of what we buy locally," said Ms Gracie.
As for the NHS deal, she said they were "incredibly proud" to have secured it.
"We did work hard with them at the beginning of the pandemic to supply them," she said.
"We initially started off doing medical visors and we were producing them and ramping up production at a pace that we have probably never done before.
"It is nice for us as a business to see the fruits of our labour."

A 15-year-old has appeared in court charged with attempted murder after a double stabbing. | Two 16-year-olds suffered stab wounds in Lucey Close, Tilehurst, Reading, on 12 September.
At Reading Crown Court the boy, who can not be named for legal reasons, did not enter a plea.
He is charged with one count each of attempted murder, grievous bodily harm and possession of an offensive weapon. A trial date has been set for 15 March.

On 5 August 2019, the Indian government stripped Kashmir of its constitutionally guaranteed special status and split the region into two federally-run territories. A stringent curfew was imposed and thousands detained along with a communications black-out.
| The lockdown began to be eased in March, but was then re-imposed due to the Covid-19 pandemic. It has been a year of shutdowns, anger and fear. The BBC spoke to 12 different Kashmiris, to find out what their lives have been like during this year.
Sanna Irshad Mattoo, 26
"In our line of work, you can't separate the personal from the professional," says Ms Mattoo, who has been a journalist for the last four years.
"We have been through lockdowns in previous years. But last year there was an environment of fear psychosis. We didn't know what was happening. Our modes of communication changed. We innovated to be heard."
Ms Mattoo said that security personnel attitudes towards reporters - already quite hostile - hardened further after August.
"Now journalists are questioned, arrested and forced to reveal sources. If I have to put up a post on social media, I have to think twice or thrice now because I have to work too. The fear is always there."
"There is a degree of concern for me at home. But I don't share my professional work with my family. I don't discuss it with them. Sometimes one has to lie as well."
Altaf Hussain, 55
Altaf Hussain's son was one of the first casualties post the government order on 5 August.
Usaib Altaf, 17, drowned after he jumped into a river to escape security forces who were chasing him - a charge they have denied.
A year later, his death has still not been officially acknowledged - even the hospital where he died has refused to issue the family with a death certificate.
"He had gone to play football but he returned in a coffin. Police insist no-one died that day. They are not acknowledging that he was killed. I have witnesses but still they are refusing to file a case. We went to the police station and courts but there's been no justice," he says.
Muneefa Nazir, 6
Muneefa was caught in the crossfire after a protest broke out between protesters and security forces.
She was hit in the right eye, apparently with a slingshot.
"I was in hospital for many days. But I don't remember much now. I have forgotten my school lessons. I used to get 100 out of 100 marks. Once my eye is cured, I want to become a doctor. I like doctors because they helped me get well," she says.
Her father, who is a cameraman for a local news agency, says her eye is completely gone and he had to take her out of school after he could no longer afford to pay the fees.
"I can only see shadows. I can't read books. I don't go anywhere. Doctors said I will be able to go to school after 15 days but a year has passed," she says.
Farooq Ahmad, 34
Mr Ahmed has a typical rags-to-riches story.
He started working while he was still a young boy, helping drivers at a bus yard in Srinagar, the capital of Indian-administered Kashmir.
In 2003, with his wife's gold ornaments and his own savings, he purchased a bus of his own.
Today, along with a partner and a bank loan, he has a fleet of seven buses - but all of them are grounded. Transport has been one of the worst hit sectors in the region this year.
"Recently we renewed the insurance policies of these buses for around 400,000 rupees ($5,335; £4,380) without earning a cent. Seven of my employees are on the verge of starvation. But how am I supposed to take care of their families when my own family is suffering? People like me sold our precious assets to make a respectable livelihood - when we don't earn, how will we repay our debts?
Mr Ahmed now works as a manual labourer to try and pay off his back loan.
Iqra Ahmad, 28
Ms Ahmad runs her own fashion designing business - a career choice she made she says, because she didn't want anyone bossing her around.
She says she wants to promote Kashmiri culture through her work - which she sells online.
"The internet shutdown inflicted a big blow to my business and 2G hasn't been helpful. I have customers all over the world including the US, Dubai and Australia.
But most of my customers are Kashmiri and they can't see my products because pictures don't open on 2G speed. Earlier, I used to get 100-110 orders a week. Now I only get about five or six.
International customers worry over delayed orders. One recently contacted her to congratulate her for delivering her order after six months. Another asked her to "get lost" because she didn't reply to her text on time due to the internet shutdown.
"I don't think I can sustain my business for long like this. My monthly expenses are close to 200,000 rupees. And if I don't earn anything, how will I pay my seven workers?"
Badrud Duja, 24
"As a law student, I study the constitution, spirit of democracy, fundamental rights, and due process of law. But these are merely words. The castle they build is crumbling. We are losing individual liberties. For all students and teachers, studying law has become a joke."
Mr Dujia is fast becoming disillusioned with his chosen profession.
"Speaking used to be a remedy but now it can land you in jail. As an intern with a human rights advocacy group in Kashmir, I saw a man bundled into a police van for speaking with media. Our spirit is being destroyed. There is complete hopelessness. We didn't study law to see it damaged by those who are paid to uphold it. I am searching for a different job."
Manzoor Bhat, 29
Mr Bhatt heads the media wing of India's ruling Hindu-nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) - which abrogated the erstwhile state's special status.
He says he has been ostracised by his friends and family for choosing to join the party, but insists he will "not go to hell" because of it. To the contrary, he feels that he is helping the people of the region.
"My aim is not power or earning money but changing the lives of others. Our youngsters pick up guns but this is not a solution. Those who die in Kashmir are my brothers too - but violence is not the answer."
Javed Ahmad, 35
Mr Ahmed worked as a boat operator on the picturesque Dal Lake in Srinagar for the last 25 years, ferrying tourists up and down. It was a lucrative enough livelihood - he would earn around 500 rupees a day.
"Now, I am forced to sell vegetables to survive - but where are the customers in a lockdown?" he asks.
He says he struggles to pay even his children's school fees.
"Our future has been ruined. Tourists won't come because of fear. This is a difficult time for everyone in Kashmir. But the tourism sector has suffered the most."
Mr Ahmad says the government has promised boatmen 1,000 rupees each but says that won't even help pay his electricity bill.
"I have left it to God because I have no hope."
Falah Shah, 12
"In the rest of India, students have the best education opportunities. I am at a level where I am being deprived of even a basic education. If we miss out on important concepts at this point, how will we pass competitive exams in the future?" Falah asks.
"I am facing problems with basic concepts in science and mathematics. But with the internet cut, I couldn't even search for solutions. Now the internet is back but speeds are terrible. Even if I try to open a book and read, there is no use because I have no concepts to begin with."
She says she misses school - her teachers and friends.
"I don't leave my home. For one year, I have been confined to this place. If any other state had been under lockdown for a year, students would have come out and protested. They wouldn't stay home. But we can't protest. We can be jailed."
Sajid Farooq, 43
Mr Farooq is a hotelier and a third-generation businessman but says he sees no future in Kashmir.
He talks about the death and violence he has seen since 1990 - the beginning of a militant uprising against Indian rule in the state.
"It took three generations to build this hotel. But since 1990, we have only been surviving."
Business, he says, has become unsustainable.
"For electricity, I have to pay 200,000 rupees whether my hotel uses it or not. There are other service charges. I don't see things getting better. What Kashmiris mourn, the rest of the country celebrates. What the rest of country celebrates, we mourn it. So everything has become political. In everything, there is conflict. In such a situation, how can businesses run?"
Bilal Ahmad, 35
Mr Ahmed is a fruit farmer in Kashmir - one of the main sources of agricultural revenue in the region.
He says a combination of unseasonal weather and the lockdown has landed him in a situation where he may have to even sell his land.
Unexpectedly early snowfall damaged both his apple and peach trees, and then to add to his woes, a shortage of labour meant that he could not spray his crops, which led to a poor harvest.
"We have been idle for a year now. The apple produce used to fetch between 100,000 and 150,000 rupees but this year I have made only 30,000 rupees. My brother harvested 1,200 boxes of peaches but he had to throw away most of them because there were no buyers. If the situation continues like this, I may be forced to sell off the land - I can't do any other work. I have not studied much."
Mohammad Sidiq, 49
Mr Sidiq works in pottery but says his work has ground to a halt because he can't get his raw material.
The state government recently handed out sand and rock extraction permits to non-local contractors, putting thousands of locals like Mr Sidiq out of work.
"The government has banned soil extraction. They say there are court orders. But where were the courts all these years? Did the judges not give a thought about the families of poor men like us? Do they want to starve us to death? Due to the lockdown, all of my products are unsold, I have stopped making new products and instead work as a manual labourer."

"Mindless vandals" have been accused of destroying a new playground in Bridgend by setting fire to the equipment. | Emergency services were called to the play area at Heol Las in Cornelly just before 23:00 BST on Saturday.
A South Wales Fire crew from Kenfig Hill put out the blaze and police are appealing for witnesses.
"It never ceases to amaze me why idiots wreck facilities in local communities," tweeted Richard Lewis, deputy chief constable of South Wales Police.
He added: "Particularly when money is tight. If you know them, cough them up. They need to understand how communities work. Disgraceful."

"I was shot nine times and left in a wheelchair." | Life looked pretty bleak for Jemma McGrath five years ago. Involved in drink and drugs, her life spiralled out of control after the death of her dad.
Aged 24, she was shot, left with multiple broken bones and doctors said she would never walk again.
Now, she's just won a Prince's Trust award after launching her own make-up business.
"I grew up in a [Belfast] community filled with religious and racial hate, and fought my way through life," she says.
"I worked in care but used drugs and alcohol out of hours."
Being shot was the wake-up call she needed.
"Although it was a horrific thing to happen, it was a real turning point in my life," she tells Newsbeat.
The injuries had a huge impact on her body.
"There's still a hole in my femur now, there's plates and screws holding my whole body together."
Jemma still has a bullet in her stomach which will "probably be with me until the day I die - it doesn't give me any bother," she says.
"Some people call me the bionic woman, we have a laugh about it."
Whilst she recovered in hospital, she set herself some goals: "To become a professional make-up artist and to walk my friend down the aisle."
Three months later, Jemma started walking but she still only had use of one arm. Using social media, she managed to learn and practice her skills.
Now 29, she says: "When I was recovering, I sat and played with make-up. I was watching different YouTube tutorials."
Her friend advised her to join Enterprise, a Prince's Trust programme which helps unemployed young people get going in business.
Jemma says she's had post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and insomnia: "I was up all night, designing and figuring things out through business ideas and getting them all onto paper."
After leaving the Enterprise programme, Jemma launched #MakeUpUrLife - a make-up, microblading and inspirational speaking business.
Within eight months of trading, she has expanded her business by training in new techniques and selling false eyelashes online. She has also been nominated for an Irish Beauty Award.
Now she plans on taking a mentoring and coaching qualification to help others who might be struggling with PTSD.
Jemma says: "My aim is to definitely help young people take a different road than the one I took."

The coronavirus pandemic has brought doom and gloom to many businesses globally, whether big or small, and it looks like there will be more difficult times ahead as governments grapple with the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. | By Mary-Ann RussonBusiness reporter, BBC News
But while some firms are sinking and may not reopen again, others have so far been able to swim with the tide.
Amidst store closures, job cuts and tensions with commercial property landlords, some entrepreneurs in Africa have been able to take the pandemic in their stride and capitalise on changing consumer demands.
Here are three firms in different industries from across the continent that still hold hope for the future.
Hair and skincare in South Africa
In recent years, the growing middle class of Africans has led to the realisation that there is a need for customised products that cater specifically to African consumer needs.
The African beauty industry is burgeoning as an increasing number of entrepreneurs are developing product ranges to suit African body types.
One such example is Native Child, a South African hair and body care brand that uses only natural ingredients, which was founded by quantity surveyor Sonto Pooe in 2015 from her kitchen.
The business had been growing at a steady pace, but the coronavirus lockdown measures mandated by the government caused retail sales to plunge and the cost of procuring crucial supplies to soar, impacted by the falling South African rand.
Fortunately Ms Pooe's business has been allowed to stay open as it was classed as an essential service, so she and her team began problem-solving their way past a myriad of challenges.
Parcels are still being dispatched to customers, and because many retailers have closed, Native Child gained many new customers online from across the continent.
However this brought more problems, as the firm then found it was struggling to keep up with demand. It had to keep working out solutions to supply chain problems, as it became too expensive and too difficult to import some raw materials.
"There's a particular product that we use in one of our formulations, which is a blend [of several] raw materials to make one final product. We've had to create a blend ourselves, instead of buying it already premixed...to kind of make sure that production still continues," Ms Pooe tells the BBC.
Due to the lockdown, the ecommerce side of Native Child's business has taken off so much that Ms Pooe is having to outsource the running of the website entirely to another firm, as there is now more work than Native Child can handle.
E-learning in Nigeria
Gradely is a Nigerian technology startup founded in August 2019. The firm has a personalised e-learning platform for children that uses artificial intelligence to assess pupils' strengths and weaknesses.
Schools in 144 countries remain closed and parents are having to pull double duty as both bread winners and teachers.
While the platform is still in its first year of operation, the coronavirus lockdown has served to accelerate the start-up's progress in developing the product, as frazzled Nigerian parents turned online for support.
"Gradely has been highlighted during the pandemic. People now come to find us and there's been a huge spike in demand, but it's also put us in a place where we need to show and prove the power of technology," says Boye Oshinaga, founder and chief executive of Gradely.
Because the platform uses artificial intelligence, the system is always learning, and over time it is gathering valuable data about how children learn and the areas where they struggle.
Parent Chinyere Ogunbi tells the BBC that she had been struggling to find enough work and material to give her son to do.
"Gradely had a wider base where they test the child, identify areas where we need help and focus on those areas," she says. "That means I don't need to sit with him [all the time] - he can get onto the platform, do what he needs to do, and I get feedback on his progress."
Mr Oshinaga strongly believes that personalised learning is the future of education: "Parents are using us on a daily basis and we're already tracking how much improvement children are making over a month or two, so we can show the world that this is not just technology for technology's sake - it can make a real difference in every child's learning."
Securing funding for healthcare infrastructure
Africa Finance Corporation (AFC) is a pan-African investment grade multilateral finance institution that is run by sovereign African states.
It typically focuses on addressing infrastructure shortfalls and garnering investments to enable economic development, and in recent years transport and communication have been high priorities.
The firm is based in Lagos, Nigeria, but it also works across the continent, with at least half of its staff travelling all the time. The coronavirus lockdown measures imposed by many governments have put a stop to this, and the firm has had to completely transform the way it works so that all staff can work seamlessly at home.
The firm has also switched its focus towards improving health infrastructure, by securing funding to quickly build hospitals.
So far through lockdown, AFC has built an emergency 110-bed hospital in Lagos, as well as a 340-bed hospital in in Abuja, the federal capital of Nigeria.
The firm has also secured financial aid for five African states and is now working to extend that to another 10 African nations.
"We're looking at what kind of development support solutions we can provide to enhance the capacity of the healthcare delivery system on the continent and to generally cope with liquidity and the sovereignty challenges that we know most of our institutions will face on the continent," AFC chief executive Samaila Zubairu tells the BBC.
He added that the financial industry is hoping that the coronavirus crisis will "turn into some sort of advantage and wake up call for the continent" that will inspire African nations and entrepreneurs to bring production centres and manufacturing activities "closer" to home.
"The crisis has revealed a lot of well-known structural deficiencies in the way African economies are set up and the way we trade with the rest of the world," he stresses, explaining that a lot of money is spent by African nations to export basic commodities to other countries where production takes place, and then more money is spent importing the goods back into Africa.
"We have the continental free trade agreement coming in force soon - we need to take advantage of this pandemic, not to waste this crisis, to make sure that we have production centres [where] we produce at least 30-40% of what is required for us to trade within ourselves on the continent, and then we continue to build on that going forward."

Firefighters were called out to rescue a man whose head was stuck in a public litter bin in Aberdeen. | It is not yet known how the man got into the predicament, which happened on the city's Justice Street.
Emergency services were alerted to the man stuck with his head in the opening of the 4ft-high bin early on Sunday evening.
A spokesman for Grampian Fire and Rescue Service said the man was not injured.
He was taken to hospital for a check-up.

Balkissa Chaibou dreamed of becoming a doctor, but when she was 12 she was shocked to learn she had been promised as a bride to her cousin. She decided to fight for her rights - even if that meant taking her own family to court. | By Sarah Buckley BBC News
"I came from school at around 18:00, and Mum called me," Balkissa Chaibou recalls.
"She pointed to a group of visitors and said of one of them, 'He is the one who will marry you.'
"I thought she was joking. And she told me, 'Go unbraid, and wash your hair.' That is when I realised she was serious."
The young girl from Niger had always been ambitious.
"When I was little, I was dreaming of becoming a doctor. Take care of people, wear the white coat. Help people," she says.
Marriage to her cousin, who had arrived with his father from neighbouring Nigeria, would make this impossible.
"They said if you marry him you won't be able to study any more. For me my passion is studying. I really like to study. That's when I realised that my relationship with him wouldn't work well."
Niger's tradition of marrying its girls young - it has the highest rate of child marriage in the world - is partly rooted in its grinding poverty.
"The dynamic works in this way: I have lots of children, and if I can marry off one child that is one child less that I have to feed," explains Monique Clesca, the United Nations Population Fund's representative in Niger.
Balkissa Chaibou's parents had five daughters, so from their perspective marrying her to her cousin may have made economic sense.
But another reason for the tradition of early marriage in Niger is the belief that it reduces the risk of pregnancy outside wedlock.
"Nowadays some children are not well brought up," says Hadiza Almahamoud, Chaibou's mother. "If they are not married off at an early age, they can bring shame to the family."
Chaibou continued to work hard at school, waking at 03:00 to study, but as she got older the looming marriage with her cousin became a distraction.
Then, one day when she was 16, the bride price, suitcases and a wedding outfit arrived.
"I felt pain inside of me, it really broke my heart," says Chaibou. "Because I see that I am fighting to fulfil myself, and these people will be an obstacle to my evolution."
She plucked up the courage to try to get out of the marriage after getting her junior high school diploma. "I told myself that I can try to pull myself together, see how I can escape this situation."
Her mother understood her objection to the marriage but didn't have the status, as a woman, to help her.
So Chaibou approached her father, suggesting that as a compromise she could marry but only see her husband in the holidays until she had completed her Baccalaureate.

But the tradition of the Tuareg - the ethnic group to which Chaibou belongs - is that the older brother has power over the children of his younger siblings.
Since Chaibou's uncle - the father of her fiance - was older, her father dared not go against his wishes and preparations for a wedding continued.
In desperation Chaibou asked her school principal, Moumouni Harouna, for help.
He referred her to an NGO called the Centre for Judicial Assistance and Civic Action, which took legal action against her father and uncle for forcing her into a marriage she did not want.
Once in court, Chaibou's uncle denied the accusation, she says, and claimed it had all been a misunderstanding, so the case was dropped.
But once she got home, her uncle threatened to kill her.
"He said that even if he had to wrap me up - even if he had to wrap me up in a body bag - I would go [to Nigeria]," says Chaibou.
She was forced to take refuge in a women's shelter.
"The first night spent here I didn't sleep well," she says. "I was thinking too much about my parents, about the situation they were in, especially with the anger of my uncle. I was sure he would insult them and threaten them, so I didn't have a clear mind."
But faced with the threat of jail, the wedding party returned to Nigeria and after a week Chaibou was able to go home.
"When I put on my school uniform... I felt like my life was renewed. As if it was a new beginning," she says, describing the day she started college.
Her mother says that she and her husband have now changed their views on forced marriage.
"We are finished with [it] in this family. We are scared of it," she says. "If a girl grows up she can choose her husband. We can't do it."
Mariama Moussa - president of the shelter Chaibou took refuge in - says domestic violence is a serious problem in Niger and that forced marriage is one of the root causes.
"When you force them, as a result there is a succession of violence that they can suffer in their home," she says. "There is physical violence, psychological violence... When the husband cannot tolerate her any more, he can hit her, or make her leave, even in pregnancy."
Chaibou is aware that now she has won her freedom it is important for her to succeed in her studies and repay her family's sacrifice.
"I know my family's hope is on my shoulders. Everyone counts on me. Everyone has their eyes on me," she says.
Now 19, she campaigns for other girls to follow her example and say "no" to forced marriage. She visits schools and has spoken to tribal chiefs about the issue.
She has also spoken at a UN summit on reducing maternal mortality, a phenomenon linked to early marriage.
"Before [the age of] 15 the body is not ready to have a child," says Clesca.
"About 34% of adolescent deaths in Niger are maternal mortality, which gives you a sense of the problem.
"It is important for the Balkissas of this world to stand up because it shows the other girls that 'Hey, I can do this.'
"And yes we have seen a ripple effect. One girl says no and others are crowding around her [saying] 'What did you do? I mean, why did you say no?'"
Balkissa Chaibou is getting closer to becoming a doctor. She passed her International Baccalaureate and is currently at medical school.
"I'm not saying don't marry," she tells one group of schoolgirls.
"But choose the right moment to do so. The advice I have for you is to fight - study with all your might. I know studying isn't easy but you must force yourself because those studies are your only hope."

Real estate has long been an Australian obsession and sharp spikes in house prices across Australia's major cities in recent years have fuelled the passion for property. But it is not easy working out who or what is to blame. | By Phil MercerBBC News, Sydney
Fluctuating prices, and what triggers them, are studiously followed in a country where two-thirds of the population own their own home.
The most spectacular growth has been in the notoriously fevered Sydney market, which has grown 15% over the 2013-14 financial year, compared with a combined 10% across all the state capital cities, according to figures from property information firm RP Data.
The median house price in Sydney has now reached a jaw-dropping A$800,000 ($697,000, £440,000), many times the average wage.
Hardly surprising, therefore, that Australian house prices are among the least affordable in the economic bloc of more than 30 OECD countries, leaving a generation of renters with dwindling prospects of achieving the dream of home ownership.
Prime International Residential Index - Square meters US$1m will buy
Source: Knight Frank
Clearly, the boom reflects market forces: demand has outstripped supply in Sydney and Melbourne but what is stimulating this ferocious appetite?
Is it moneybags investors looking to boost their retirement incomes, cashed-up buyers from China, low interest rates, preferential tax regimes or planning laws stifling development?
The truth is complicated, and what affects one city, or suburb, almost certainly will not apply to places and properties elsewhere.
Chinese demand
For example, while residential markets in Sydney and Melbourne performed well, sales this year in Perth have been subdued.
"The resources-based economy, which is largely affected by fluctuations in iron ore, gold and precious metal prices, is very slow. There has been a big reduction in employment opportunities in Western Australia and that has fallen back into the property market," says David Airey, president of the Real Estate Institute of Western Australia.
On the other side of the continent, it is a very different story.
"Buying pressure in Sydney has come from overseas investors literally buying everything they can, particularly from Asia," Mr Airey says. "Sydney prices look cheap to them. They look expensive to Australians but A$1m really doesn't buy you very much."
The impact of Chinese investment is the subject of on-going studies at the University of Technology, Sydney (UTS). Dr Adrian Lee, a postdoctoral research fellow at UTS Business School, says Chinese nationals are only allowed to buy new, not established properties in Australia. But he questions whether Australia's Foreign Investment Review Board "has adequately enforced the restrictions".
Dr Lee believes the flow of money will increase.
"I think Australian property will continue to be favourable to China's growing middle class as they perceive Australia as a great place to eventually live in for themselves and their families," he says.
'Fraught with danger'
Another culprit in climbing house prices is Australia's so-called negative gearing, which offers a tax break to more than a million investors who make a loss on their property investments, says Dale Boccabella from the University of New South Wales, who describes negative gearing as a "defect in the system".
"No-one is going to be able to tell us the extent to which the continuing of negative gearing is putting pressure on house prices but it must be making some contribution," says Mr Boccabella. "It is so entrenched. People have just latched onto it. It is part and parcel of the culture."
With some of the world's most expensive bricks and mortar, Australians are often warned the housing market is a bubble that will eventually burst.
In September, federal treasurer Joe Hockey rejected those grim projections as "lazy analysis", adding that he didn't "see at the moment any substantial risk" because supply wasn't meeting demand.
But real estate agents do see the potential for trouble ahead because of reckless lending to some buyers.
"The flow of credit for first-time home-buyers is far too easy," says Mark Wizel, a director of real estate firm CBRE in Melbourne.
"I think that it is a market that is fraught with a bit of danger because if there is a correction in the housing market buyers that have over-extended themselves to take up the opportunity of the great Australian dream may be left exposed."
Predicting where the market goes from here is a national pastime but agents in Sydney believe booming sales will begin to slow towards the end of the traditional peak spring period.
The Reserve Bank of Australia is also considering reforms to prevent what it believes is excessive speculation by investors that has helped to drive prices higher.

A recent radiation leak at America's only nuclear waste repository threatens the future of waste storage in the country. But leaders in the city of Carlsbad, New Mexico, still want their area to be a destination for America's radioactive history. | By Taylor Kate BrownBBC News, New Mexico
Carlsbad works underground.
On the road into the city, derricks pump oil from deep in the Earth.
Residents go to work mining potash, a raw material used in fertiliser. Others give tours at Carlsbad Caverns National Park.
And some of Carlsbad's underground workers make a half-mile (0.8km) journey into the earth not to take from the ground, but to bury the wastes of human invention.
This is WIPP, the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant, the only long-term geologic repository for nuclear waste in the United States.
While other locales across the US have fought mightily to prevent the establishment of similar operations, almost all of Carlsbad is sanguine about the storage of nuclear materials just a 40-minute drive from the centre of town.
That confidence has been tested this month after a radiation leak and the initial report 13 workers had tested positive for radioactive contamination.
And as the only permanent storage facility for nuclear waste, problems at WIPP create problems for the larger US nuclear defence complex, including delays of already scheduled shipments from around the country.
But it is the first serious incident in WIPP's history, and Carlsbad still appears to have confidence, albeit slightly shaken, in the site.
In fact, town officials are hoping their corner of New Mexico can be the home of even more nuclear waste.
Radiation leak
The facility, 26 miles (42km) east of the city, looks from the outside like any industrial site, except for the large, empty canisters sitting in the car park.
But 2,150ft (655m) below, WIPP is a cool cavern, with wide pathways cut out of pure salt on every side. Each storage section, known as a panel, is 13ft high, 33ft wide and 300ft long.
WIPP can only take certain types of waste. It must all be from US defence projects and be transuranic - contaminated by elements beyond uranium in the periodic table in which radioactivity is particularly long-lived. Most of its waste is solid: radioactive gloves, tools and debris.
Stand next to canisters of these types of waste for an hour and you'll be dosed with about half the average amount of radiation an American receives in a year.
Workers wear radiation counters and spend limited time in direct proximity to the waste. Most of it emits radioactivity through particles known as alpha-emitters, which are seriously dangerous only if ingested and inhaled.
In October 2013, WIPP officials and Carlsbad residents told the BBC the site's excellent safety record gave them confidence.
In early February, that record ended, when a small fire on a lorry hauling salt closed down the underground portion of the site. Then late on 14 February, underground sensors detected radiation. More tests confirmed that two radioactive particles, isotopes of americium and plutonium, were found on aboveground air filters.
Later, preliminary test results indicated 13 employees working above ground that day had inhaled or ingested radioactive material.
On Wednesday, energy department officials said follow-up testing on the employees was negative for both isotopes. Such a result "indicates that levels were extremely low and the employees are unlikely to experience any serious health effects", Carlsbad field office manager Jose Franco wrote.
WIPP officials said the amount of radioactivity detected aboveground, about 3 mRems, is less than in the exposure of a chest x-ray (10 mRems). An investigation is underway to determine what exactly happened.
'Proud of what we do'
In the 1970s, Carlsbad's main industry, potash, was on an economic downswing just as a proposal to bury nuclear waste in underground salt deposits near Lyons, Kansas, fell apart.
Carlsbad officials realised nuclear waste disposal could be a stable industry. The area had salt deposits and plenty of people willing and able to work underground.
A local oversight board spent years studying safety concerns, and the plant received its first waste shipment in 1999. Since then, more than 90,000 cu m have come to rest here from around the US.
When the BBC visited in October, city development director John Waters said the city was "proud of what we do here".
"We want people to know that we're helping the nation take care of a problem that the whole world is experiencing," he said. "We want to be the example of how to do it right."
About 1,000 people in Carlsbad, a city of 26,000, are employed by WIPP or related contractors, and the site's annual budget is about $215m (£129m) per year. While oil and potash have been booming again in south-eastern New Mexico, they have busted before. WIPP promised a stable economic base for lifelong residents.
"Those are our high-paying jobs, they support our baseball teams, they are part of our community," says Eddy County Commissioner Susan Crockett, who represents Carlsbad.
Before the leak, most residents told the BBC that the nuclear storage didn't worry them - or even cross their minds. But now there are signs of increased concern.
A town hall meeting with WIPP officials about the incident attracted about 300 residents. The local newspaper, the Carlsbad Current-Argus, reported a sharp rise in appointments for people wanting whole body scans for radiation.
"One citizen came [to the town hall] with a very simple question, 'Is my family safe in Carlsbad?'" says city councillor Jason Shirley.
He says the answer is yes, that safety measures at WIPP did exactly what they were supposed to do in such a situation.
What happens next at WIPP could also determine the future of another potential nuclear waste project in the region.
Eddy County and neighbouring Lea County have proposed making an aboveground storage site for radioactive waste produced by power plants.
Known as the Eddy-Lea Energy Alliance (ELEA), it is intended to be an interim site for spent fuel awaiting a permanent US repository. The two counties have three companies on board - firms already in town for WIPP - to create private storage if the state and federal governments permit it.
When asked recently whether the leak would affect ELEA's future, Mr Waters said it was a separate project that would have to "stand on its own merits anyway".
WIPP was long held up as a rare success story in nuclear waste. But with its safety record no longer clean, its economic promise will again be tested against the potential perils.
For now, Carlsbad seems to be keeping the faith.
"Moving forward, their safety record is going to be phenomenal," Ms Crockett says. "There's no reason for us to not feel safe having WIPP there."

What do we know for sure about Mohammed Emwazi? | Dominic CascianiHome affairs correspondent@BBCDomCon Twitter
Mohammed Emwazi was born in Kuwait in 1988 and came to the UK in 1994 when he was six years old.
He was educated at the Quintin Kynaston Community Academy in St John's Wood, north London.
The then headteacher, Jo Shuter, has told the BBC that she never suspected that the "reasonably hardworking" pupil would become the man we know him to be today.
Emwazi was 14 when Ms Shuter arrived at the school and she found him to be a quiet young man, with caring responsibilities outside of school as the oldest of a number of siblings.
"He had adolescent issues," she said. "Particularly at that age - year nine, particularly the boys, is a time when the hormones start raging, and he had some issues with being bullied, which we dealt with.
"By the time he got into the sixth form, he, to all intents and purposes, was a hardworking aspirational young man who went on to the university that he wanted to go to. "I can't stress enough, he wasn't a huge concern to us."
He later graduated in computing from the University of Westminster in 2009 and his final address in the UK before he went abroad was in the Queen's Park area of north-west London.
Emwazi came to the attention of the security services during the same year as MI5 and other agencies monitored suspected extremists linked to foreign fighters joining al-Shabab in Somalia.
'Rough and noisy'
Going by the name Muhammad ibn Muazzam, he had travelled to Tanzania with another Briton, known as "Abu Talib" and a third man, a German convert called "Omar".
Once they arrived, they were denied entry and interrogated and Emwazi later claimed to Cage, a campaign group in London, that they had been subject to harassment and abuse.
But a police officer in Tanzania has told the BBC that Emwazi was deported for being drunk and abusive,
The officer said Emwazi "brought chaos to the airport" by being "rough and noisy" and that he behaved "like alcohol was involved".
His behaviour led him to being refused entry to the country, along with his two friends.
Emwazi later said he had been threatened at gunpoint and was told to ask the British government why he had been stopped.
But Tanzanian immigration commissioner Abdullah Khamis Abdullah said no instructions had been issued from any other country to stop Emwazi.
And the arresting officer said Emwazi was not tortured, as he later claimed.
Cage said that Emwazi was questioned by both Dutch and British security services as he returned home via The Netherlands. The account he gave to the campaign group includes allegations that MI5 spoke to his fiancee - and she then ended the relationship. Emwazi himself was not charged with an offence.
Wider network
But MI5's view was that this had been no innocent post-university safari holiday. He was considered an associate of a number of high-profile suspected jihadists whom they were tracking across the world.
One of them was a married man with two children whom we can only identify as "CE". He was placed on a control order in 2011 and forcibly relocated from London. During his legal challenge against the house-arrest style conditions, the security service's lawyers argued that his network included, amongst others, Mohammed Emwazi, "BX", J1 and Bilal Berjawi.
All of these men were said in court to be involved in the "provision of funds and equipment to Somalia for terrorism-related purposes and the facilitation of individuals' travel from the United Kingdom to Somalia to undertake terrorism-related activity".
BX - now known to be a man called Ibrahim Magag - went on the run and is widely thought to have reached Somalia.
Bilal Berjawi, another Londoner, also succeeded in reaching the Horn of Africa. The ethnically Lebanese man had dual nationality and the Home Secretary stripped him of his British citizenship. Some time later he was killed in a US drone strike on militant targets.
As for J1, in a 2013 court ruling on attempts to deport him the Court of Appeal described the Ethiopian as someone who had "thrown in his lot with a group of Islamist extremists who are committed to terrorism". J1 is, in turn, linked to some of the men jailed for the failed suicide attacks on London on 21 July 2005.

'Jihadi John' movement mapped
Kuwait future
Between late 2009 and early 2010, Mohammed Emwazi returned to Kuwait to stay with his father's family and, according to reports, look for a new life in the Middle East.
The family are of Bedoon ethnicity - a group that is marginalised in Kuwaiti society. He was looking for a good computing job and was, according to Asim Qureshi of Cage, planning to marry and settle down.
He spent three months working as an IT salesman before returning to the UK - but he never returned.
According to Cage, he was prevented from returning to Kuwait when he was detained for six hours at Heathrow. He alleged that he was assaulted by an officer.
Cage claims that he became desperate to leave the UK and that in 2013, he changed his name by deed poll to Mohammed al-Ayan and tried once more to travel to Kuwait. But he was stopped again. His parents reported him missing in August. Four months later police are said to have told the family that he was in Syria, although the family thought by now that he was doing aid work in Turkey.
We do not know exactly when he entered the war zone but he was first reported to be in Idlib in the same year, assisting in guarding Western hostages.
Jihadi John sightings
In August 2014, he appeared in the video which shows the murder of US journalist James Foley - and then over the subsequent months, similar films showing the killing of Steve Sotloff, David Haines and Alan Henning. In none of these videos is it clear whether it is the masked man or another person off camera who kills the victims.
But in November 2014, the same militant features in a hostage death video - and this time he appears to be carrying out the killing of a Syrian military officer. He also stands over the severed head of American Peter Abdulrahman Kassig.
Two months later the man features in another video in which he kills the Japanese hostage, Kenji Goto. This January 2015 video was the last appearance of the masked killer. A British newspaper later reported that it had seen new footage of Emwazi "unmasked" - although it was unclear when the video had been shot or whether the man in it was definitely Emwazi.
In her interview with the BBC, Emwazi's former headteacher Jo Shuter said: "I can't even begin to say the shock and the horror that I feel.
"Even now when I'm listening to the news and I hear his name I feel the skin on the back of my neck stand up because it is just so far from what I knew of him and it is so shocking and so horrendous the things that he has done."

Tin cans from Soviet-era fish factory ships have been found among rubbish cleared from two shorelines in the north west Highlands. | More than 300 bags of rubbish were gathered during the beach cleans at Dun Canna, north of Ullapool.
The tins were from factory ships, known as klondykers, which would anchor in Loch Broom off Ullapool to process mackerel in the 1970s to early 90s.
Almost 50 volunteers were involved in collecting the rubbish.
The effort was part of the Scottish Wildlife Trust's Living Seas project.

It is less than two years since Saffiyah Khan's calm smile, inches from the face of an English Defence League activist, made global headlines. But since then, she has gone through a frenzy of activity that has taken in everything from the catwalk, to making a film with the BBC, to performing with ska revivalists, The Specials. | By David SchafferBBC News
When the 20-year-old was photographed defending a woman at a protest outside Birmingham Library on 8 April 2017, she was moments away from going viral.
That photograph of her coolly going toe-to-toe with a protester was seen by thousands and described in The Guardian as a symbol of the city "standing up to the far-right group".
But perhaps what is less known about that image is that from a different angle Khan can be clearly seen wearing a Specials T-shirt. Within hours the band had offered her tickets to one of their gigs.
But that has become a distant footnote to the story. She now appears on The Specials' new album, Encore, with Ten Commandments - a personal riposte she penned based on a track by one of the forefathers of ska, Prince Buster.
"I'm just rolling with it," says Khan, from Acocks Green in Birmingham. "I left school with no qualifications, so I haven't had a choice."
That very approach to life saw her walk on stage for the first time to perform the track with the band she now regards as family at London's 100 Club last Friday.
It was also the first time in almost 40 years - since the release of More Specials in 1980 - that the band debuted new material with Terry Hall on vocals.
The band ribbed her about how excited she was. But this was after finding out The Specials' recording of Ten Commandments had taken place at the same mixing desk that produced Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers in 1977, so what did they expect?
"I didn't care. I was thinking, 'I might never do this again'," she said.
The Ten Commandments of Man was a hit in the United States for Prince Buster in 1965. But some of his lyrics - such as "Thou shall not provoke me to anger, or my wrath will descend on your heavily" - are an uncomfortable read for 21st Century eyes.
Horace Panter, bass player and founding member of The Specials, happily admits the Prince was a big influence on why he started things in the first place.
"The band had done a cover of Enjoy Yourself and sampled Al Capone on Gangsters," he remembers.
"But Ten Commandments has not travelled very well, and from listening to it again it felt important to do a contemporary version.
"The problem is our attempts ended up sounding like comedy versions of the song."
It led to the idea of turning it "completely on its head" by getting a woman to do the vocals - and getting Khan onboard injected real excitement.
"And, you know what - she bit our hands off," Panter says.
After masking her excitement at getting the call from Hall, Khan was suddenly faced with having to come up with the right words.
She has reacted to lyrics like: "Two, thou shall not encourage no man to make love to you... For I am your man, a very jealous man; And is ready to lay low any other man that may intrude in our love."
But she had a mental block for months before she found the right words, namely: "Thou shall not listen to Prince Buster or any other man offering kindly advice in matters of my own conduct".
"I only got the lyrics written finally the night before we recorded it," she says.
"For ages I'd been telling them I was sorted, 'but, I'm not near my computer at the moment, so I can't send them to you'.
"I had a lot of ideas but it was trying to get it to work in a song."
Despite clearly pointing out how blatantly sexist Prince Buster's original lyrics were, Khan is quick to state her version is not a "man-hating track".
"It's [also] not saying to women, 'Throw away your make-up and become a militant feminist'," she says.
"What it's about is common sense with how we treat each other."

One day last summer, after five or six takes, Khan nailed the track in the studio. And it was a very similar story at the 100 Club, a gig set up to mark the end of BBC 6Music's Independent Venues Week, led by DJ Steve Lamacq.
"When she arrived, the first thing Saffiyah said was 'I've never done this before, I don't know how it works'," says Panter.
"We said, don't worry, we're not really sure how it's going to work either."
No-one needed to worry though, as the track was one of the highlights of the hour-long set.
"When we got up for breakfast on Saturday, we all still had smiles on our faces - it was great," adds Panter.
Since its release last week the track has split opinion. Rather surprisingly, Panter points out that it has gone down particularly well in the US.
"If there are people finding it too radical, too feminist, too liberal, there are a lot of people who are saying it's not radical enough," Khan says.
But that it has provoked strong reactions on both sides suggests it is a statement much-needed in the current political climate, she adds.
Her continued presence, it seems, is important too. Khan has just confirmed that the 100 Club performance has led to her securing a slot on The Specials' upcoming tour of the US, Europe and the UK.
Panter cautions people not to be fooled into thinking she is some representative of "the younger generation".
"Most young people don't think about politics. But Saffiyah really is at the cutting edge of something," he says.
"She is doing [all this], whereas the majority of people her age have got their heads stuck in their mobile phone, taking selfies."

For those who find carrying around and safeguarding their credit and debit cards a hassle, a hi-tech, easier-to-use alternative is at hand - or so Apple would have us believe. | By Leo KelionTechnology desk editor
The world's most valuable company has extended its mobile wallet service Apple Pay to the UK, making it the first country outside the US to get the facility.
The scheme has the potential to further enrich the tech giant. But, of course, it's far from being the first to try to popularise a digital wallet, and other rival services are on their way.
So, how do you use Apple Pay?
Once a user has added their payment card details to the platform, they can buy things in high street stores, restaurants and other real-world locations by using just their iPhone.
To trigger a payment the shopper brings their phone close to one of the contactless readers already used for tap-and-go sales in the UK, and use the handset's fingerprint sensor to confirm their identity.
There is no need to launch a special app, but the consumer will need to select a different card from the screen before entering their fingerprint if they do not want to use the default option.
Alternatively, if they own an Apple Watch, they can make purchases by holding the wearable up to a reader and double-clicking its side button.
In addition, iPads join the watch and iPhone in being able to buy products from online shops, apps and adverts served up via Apple's iAd platform.
Are there any restrictions?
Yes. Shoppers require at least one of Apple's newest devices to get going.
Only the iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus and Watch contain near-field communication (NFC) chips, which are required to make contactless payments.
And the iPad Air 2 and iPad Mini 3 are the firm's only tablets fitted with fingerprint readers, which are needed for online sales.
According to research firm KantarWorldPanel, there are currently 2.9 million Apple Pay compatible devices in use in the UK, although it should be recognised that older handsets can be used if paired with the smartwatch.
Another restriction is that just as tap-and-go card transactions are limited to £20 - rising to £30 in September - the same will be true of Apple Pay at many retailers.
Stores can, however, upgrade their back-end software systems to recognise fingerprint readings as an ID-check alternative to pin codes in order to remove that cap.
Finally, the service is only offered to those aged 13 and above.
Who is going to support it?
The UK's leading credit card providers - Visa, Mastercard and American Express - have all signed up, and the initial wave of banks and building societies includes Ulster Bank, Nationwide, NatWest, Santander, MBNA and the Royal Bank of Scotland.
HSBC had also been listed as being set to participate as late as Monday evening, but now says it is not quite ready. A spokeswoman denied it had been punished for leaking the launch date over the weekend.
"We're working hard to bring Apple Pay to HSBC and First Direct customers, and they'll be able to use it later in July," she told the BBC.
Halifax, Lloyds, Bank of Scotland and TSB also say they will join "soon".
What was the biggest hold-out, Barclays, has also revealed it intends to join the platform despite having only just launched three contactless payment devices of its own.
"We are really excited about the launch of Apple Pay and can confirm that we will bring Barclays debit cards and Barclaycard credit cards to Apple Pay in the future," said a spokesman.
That still leaves the Co-operative Bank uncommitted - it says it is still "actively looking into our future participation".
As far as participating outlets are concerned, Boots, Lidl, Transport for London and M&S are all being promoted as big-name participants.
But, in truth any organisation - large or small - already using one of the UK's 410,000 contactless pay terminals should be able to offer it.
What if someone steals or hacks one of your devices?
In theory, your details should still be safe because of the way the system is designed.
Rather than save the original card details on a device, Apple Pay requires each of the banks and payment networks involved to create two new elements:
The token and encryption key are installed into a dedicated chip on the devices, which their operating systems cannot access.
To authorise an in-store sale, the device's token and an associated cryptogram are transmitted via the contactless terminal to the payment provider, who checks they belong together.
Even if a thief did manage to intercept the information, they could not re-use the token without knowing a way to make new matching cryptograms, nor could they reverse-engineer it to reveal the original payment card's details.
This should protect users - but there are caveats:
Does this mean Apple can start tracking people's payments?
No - or at least not in a way that they can be linked to individual shoppers.
The firm's privacy statement promises: "Apple Pay doesn't collect any transaction information that can be tied back to you. Payment transactions are between you, the merchant, and your bank."
So, while the iPhone's Passbook app can be used to display the last 10 transactions per card, this information is provided by the payment providers themselves rather than recorded on Apple's servers.
That does not mean, however, that Apple collects no data at all.
If the user has the "location services" option switched on, the tech firm can anonymously track the time and place a real-world purchase is made.
Similarly, if Apple Pay is used to buy something within an app, the company retains data about the sum spent, when the service was bought and who the merchant was - but not the shopper's identity.
And if Apple Pay is used to buy something from an iAd promotion, details of the purchase "that can't be tied" to a specific user are shared with the advertiser.
All of this is potentially commercially useful to Apple.
How else might it benefit?
Once a user has registered with Apple Pay, there have an added incentive to stay within Apple's ecosystem, helping it sell them more phones, smartwatches and tablets.
Last year, the Financial Times also reported that Apple had convinced the US banks to let it keep a 0.15% cut of each transaction, which comes out of the lenders' fees. It is not known if it has struck the same deal in the UK.
And a recently published patent suggests Apple is also exploring extending the service to let users send payments to each other, for which it could charge a fee.
But more people use Android than iOS. What about them?
Samsung has announced its top-end handsets will soon offer Samsung Pay in South Korea, the US and Europe.
In addition to using similar NFC-based tech, the facility can also mimic the swipe of a magnetic strip card.
That may prove popular in the US where terminals that accept contactless and chip-and-pin payments are relative rare.
Meanwhile, Google intends to revamp and rebrand its US-only Google Wallet mobile service as Android Pay.
The new version will support the use of fingerprint scanners and also support typed-in passwords or drawn patterns as alternative ID checks.
Both Samsung Pay and Android Pay will adopt similar token-based security system to Apple's.
Are there other mobile wallet schemes?
Lots.
In the UK alone, shoppers can use Barclays' Pingit and PayM to send and receive money by using mobile numbers.
PayPal - already popular for online money transfers - has also been trialled in-store and in-restaurant payments with Gourmet Burger Kitchen and Wagamama among others.
Visa's V.Me service allows users to store a range of credit card details securely online to help speed up internet purchases.
And on the horizon, a new service called Zapp promises to let older smartphones make bank debit payments in stores belonging to Asda, Sainsbury's, House of Fraser and Clarks among others.

The ongoing chaos on the UK's rail network has been met with growing frustration and anger by many of the people affected. The BBC has spoken to some passengers who are facing daily disruption to their journeys. | Rebecca Pipe, from Rochdale, is currently undergoing treatments for breast cancer and says the rail disruption is affecting her recovery.
She says travelling home from Manchester Victoria after treatment is "horrible and incredibly stressful".
"My journey home should take 20 minutes, but with all the cancellations it can take a really long time."
Rebecca says that she has decided to take some time off work because travelling by train is too difficult.
"I am supposed to be recovering and I feel like the train problems have had an impact on my health."
On Monday Transport Secretary Chris Grayling said commuters would be compensated and announced an inquiry into what had gone wrong, but Rebecca feels that "no-one seems to care" about the impact the disruption is having on people.
Karen Bregan says the cramped conditions on the trains into Manchester from Blackrod are "more suited to herding cattle" than commuting.
She says "arguments regularly break out as desperate passengers try to get on the train".
Karen suffers from back problems and told the BBC she finds it difficult to stand up during her journey.
"By the time I get home my back hurts, I'm really stressed and uncomfortable."
Stephen Pimlott, from Wigan, says that since the new timetables were introduced, "more often than not" his train is cancelled.
Stephen feels that the train service in the North of England has been "going downhill for a long time".
He says: "This has been a stress test for Northern and they have completely failed.
"As paying customers we are sometimes paying for imaginary trains."
Claire Lamb, from Surrey, says her commute to London Bridge has become a "horrendous ordeal" since the timetable changes.
Claire says her local station is no longer served by a Thameslink service to London Bridge.
"I'm having to drive for 20 minutes on a really busy road every morning to get to a different station.
"I then have to change at East Croydon, which is now under so much pressure. Everyone is just running around like headless chickens."
Claire says she now has to leave her 13-year-old son alone at home in the morning to get to work on time.
Sam Holt, 42, commutes from Buckshaw Parkway, near Chorley, to Manchester Piccadilly.
The disruption to train services on the line have caused him to miss two weeks of work.
"The bar is now so low for the service that I am not even surprised when I can't get to work.
"The first thing I think when I wake up is 'can I get to work today'. I have zero confidence in the trains."
Sam says that he has been missing out on time with his children in the evening because of delays.
"I have no confidence that I will be able to see my children before they go to bed."
On 4 June Sam's train arrived on time: "I punched the air when I saw it approaching."
He documented the rare moment in a video he posted on Twitter.

A double-decker bus has been badly damaged after hitting a railway bridge in Cornwall. | Part of the front of the top deck of the First Bus vehicle was crushed when it hit the bridge in Arwenack Street in Falmouth earlier.
Only the driver was on board the bus at the time and no-one was hurt in the incident, police said.
The road was closed while engineers from Network Rail examined the bridge. It has since been reopened.

David Cameron is meeting other EU leaders and industry bodies at CBI-hosted talks in Brussels hoping to inject fresh impetus into talks on a transatlantic trade deal. Supporters say it will boost economies - critics call it anti-democratic. | By Leala Padmanabhan BBC News
What is the TTIP?
The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, now generally known as TTIP, is primarily a deal to cut tariffs and regulatory barriers to trade between the US and EU countries, making it easier for companies on both sides of the Atlantic to access each other's markets. Industries it would affect include pharmaceuticals, cars, energy, finance, chemicals, clothing and food and drink.
What do supporters say it will achieve?
The British government claims TTIP could add £10bn to the UK economy, £80bn to the US and £100bn to the EU every year. It says shoppers would benefit by the removal of EU import tariffs on popular goods, such as jeans and cars. It's also claimed that reducing regulation would help UK businesses export to the US, with small businesses in particular predicted to benefit. And supporters say restrictive markets would be opened up; for example, currently British lamb and venison cannot be exported to the US. David Cameron has promised to put "rocket boosters" behind talks to secure the deal, saying TTIP is central to his vision of a reformed competitive Europe. TTIP is also supported by the Liberal Democrats. Labour, UKIP and the SNP broadly support it with caveats over the NHS. Plaid Cymru is more sceptical and the Green Party is strongly opposed.
How did it come about?
Leaders at the EU-US summit of November 2011 set up a working group to find ways to increase growth and competitiveness, given shared concerns over economic stagnation and frustration at the lack of progress in the Doha round of multilateral trade negotiations. The working group reported in February 2013, recommending a "comprehensive" bilateral trade agreement, which became the TTIP. The TTIP is one of the ten priorities of Jean-Claude Juncker, president of the European Commission.
Timeline
How is it being negotiated?
The EU's trade commissioner, currently Cecilia Malmström, takes the lead in trade talks. The commission consults the UK and other EU governments during the negotiations through the Trade Policy Committee, made up of senior officials from each member state. Negotiators have been meeting alternately in Brussels and Washington.
What is the main focus of negotiations?
Tariffs between the EU and US are already low - averaging around 3% - and both sides foresee they will be eliminated under the agreement. The main focus of negotiations is on harmonising regulations, reducing "non-tariff barriers" to trade, or getting rid of them if they're deemed unnecessary. For instance, US and EU regulators have different requirements for testing the safety of cars, drugs and soft furnishings. Going through the different tests is expensive for firms, particularly in developing new medicines. TTIP aims to reduce those costs by bringing in common standards. Other areas being contemplated include protection for foreign investors, co-operation to achieve greater participation by small businesses in EU-US trade and a controversial procedure to resolve investment disputes between the US and EU.
Opposition to TTIP
'Investor-state dispute settlement'
Much of the opposition to TTIP in the UK and other EU countries including Germany, is focused on its provisions for "investor-state dispute settlement". This procedure would allow companies to sue foreign governments over claims of unfair treatment and to be entitled to compensation. Critics say the measures undermine the power of national governments to act in the interests of their citizens. For example, they warn that tobacco giants could use the procedure to challenge restrictive regulations, citing a case in Australia, where Philip Morris Asia used a 1993 trade agreement with Hong Kong as the basis for a legal move to stop a change to packaging. In the UK, attention has focused on the potential impact on the NHS, with critics saying TTIP would allow private firms running NHS services to sue the government if it chose to return the services to the public sector. Opponents have called for the NHS to be exempted from TTIP, arguing that other sectors have already secured exemptions, such as the French film industry. The UK government says the details of how the dispute settlement would work is still under negotiation and insists there is no threat to the NHS.
Food standards
Critics also worry about the impact on food standards, arguing that the EU has much stricter regulations on GM crops, pesticide use and food additives than the US. They say the TTIP deal could open the EU market to cheaper products with poorer standards. They also warn that food giants could use investor-state dispute settlements to bully governments into dropping legislation to improve food standards. The UK government insists it would not allow the TTIP deal to undermine the UK's welfare and regulatory standards.
Privacy
In 2012, after a widespread protest, the European Parliament rejected a multilateral agreement to harmonise and step up anti-counterfeiting law. Protesters had claimed the agreement threatened privacy by encouraging surveillance of personal data. Some critics have suggested proposals in TTIP on intellectual property could have a similar effect to the proposed anti-counterfeiting measures - claims which are denied by TTIP's supporters.
Financial services
After the 2008 financial crash, the EU and US embarked on different programmes of reform to the regulations governing banks and other financial institutions. The TTIP deal would attempt to harmonise those regulations. Critics say TTIP could weaken the rules governing banks by diluting the tougher reforms adopted in the US. The European Commission says a common framework on banking regulation is needed for economic stability.
What happens next?
In the EU, the deal has to be presented to the European Council and the European Parliament, both of which must agree the outcome. The deal will then have to be separately ratified by the national parliaments of all 28 EU member states.
The three main Westminster parties in the UK broadly support TTIP, though Labour has called for the NHS to be exempted from the investor-state dispute settlement measures.
In the US, the agreement must be approved by Congress. The White House has indicated it intends to request a so-called 'trade promotion authority' under which Congress agrees to a simplified procedure for approving the deal.
Without that provision, TTIP could be wrecked by amendments written by special interests, with Democrats more hostile to free trade than their opponents.
Key quotes
UK Prime Minister David Cameron
"The opportunities for Britain of trading more with the United States of America are clear...Two million extra jobs, more choice and lower prices in our shops. We're talking about what could be the biggest bilateral trade deal in history, a deal that will have a greater impact than all the other trade deals on the table put together... We've signed trade deal after trade deal and it's never been a problem in the past. Some people argue in some way this could damage the NHS. I think that is nonsense. It's our National Health Service. It's in the public sector, it will stay in the public sector. That's not going to change. It will remain free at the point of use."
Jean-Claude Juncker, European Commission President
"Under my presidency, the Commission will negotiate a reasonable and balanced trade agreement with the United States of America. It is anachronistic that, in the 21st century, Europeans and Americans still impose customs duties on each other's products. These should be swiftly and fully abolished. I also believe that we can go a significant step further in recognising each other's product standards or working towards transatlantic standards. However...I will also be very clear that I will not sacrifice Europe's safety, health, social and data protection standards on the altar of free trade. Notably, the safety of the food we eat and the protection of Europeans' personal data will be non-negotiable for me as Commission President. Nor will I accept that the jurisdiction of courts in the EU Member States is limited by special regimes for investor disputes. The rule of law and the principle of equality before the law must also apply in this context."
Len McCluskey, general secretary of Unite union
"There is massive opposition to the NHS being part of the US trade deal... The NHS unites this country, it is the single most important local issue for voters. The prime minister has cut himself adrift from public opinion by refusing to listen to the public...David Cameron has claimed that there is "no threat" to the NHS from TTIP. If this is true, why doesn't Cameron just remove the NHS from the trade deal? Other countries have vetoed sectors from the trade deal. The Government has failed to give one decent reason why the NHS should be in this trade deal."
George Monbiot, environmental campaigner
"Investor-state rules could be used to smash any attempt to save the NHS from corporate control, to re-regulate the banks, to curb the greed of the energy companies, to renationalise the railways, to leave fossil fuels in the ground. These rules shut down democratic alternatives. They outlaw leftwing politics. This is why there has been no attempt by the UK government to inform us about this monstrous assault on democracy, let alone consult us...Wake up, people we're being shafted."
John Cridland, director general of the CBI
"Europe's business community has come together and is united in making a loud and clear clarion call to political leaders - this deal is vital for future growth and the prosperity for citizens across the EU. And could create thousands of new opportunities for our young people...It would create an integrated market of over 800 million people, bringing more choices for consumers at cheaper prices. And with the UK already trading more and investing more with the US than any other country, there are real advantages to drive home particularly for smaller firms. "TTIP would be the biggest free trade deal ever negotiated."
Natalie Bennett, Green Party leader
"The proposed trade deal is a huge threat to our democracy and our sovereignty. We have seen the UK participating in a disastrous race to the bottom on corporate tax rates and wages. We must not also walk into lowering our workers' rights, environmental standards and food health standards. Chicken carcasses washed in bleach, hormone-stuffed beef and open season on pollution are not things we want to import from the US."

Hong Kong's legislative chamber (LegCo) will be welcoming a new breed of young pro-democracy faces. They all advocate greater independence or Hong Kong's right to self-determination with varying degrees of radicalism. Some of the most strident activists, however, were controversially banned from running in Sunday's election. | Nathan Law is the most high-profile of the pro-democracy names to win a seat - and will become the youngest lawmaker in Hong Kong.
The 23-year-old student activist and former Occupy protest leader is a co-founder of the Demosisto political party, which calls for HK's right to self-determination.
Convicted for his role in civil disobedience during the so-called "umbrella" protests in 2014, the soft-spoken activist has said the former British colony must be allowed a referendum on its future. He has said he does not want Hong Kong to become "just another Chinese city".
Sixtus "Baggio" Leung, 30, is a candidate for the new Youngspiration party and is known to have openly supported independence.
Youngspiration has a so-called "localist" platform; defiantly pro-Hong Kong and against immigrants and tourists from China.
Among its policies is even the proposal that Hong Kong must seek independent water and food supplies to reduce dependency on mainland China.
Yau Wai-ching is also with Youngspiration - the 25-year-old emerged as a shock winner, edging out a veteran pro-democracy lawmaker.
One of the more prominent members of Youngspiration, she ran in local district council elections last November, just one year after the umbrella movement in Hong Kong inspired her to enter politics and to campaign for Hong Kong's independence.
A Chinese history and martial arts literature enthusiast, Ms Yau has spoken openly of her scepticism about the idea of a Chinese nation.
Chu Hoi-dick, 38, was one of the surprise winners of the night. Despite being an independent candidate, he won a landslide victory.
The social activist argues that independence from China should be an option for people in Hong Kong.
"The result shows that Hong Kong people believe we need a paradigm shift in the democratic movement," he said, adding: "We should no longer follow strictly to the Basic Law [Hong Kong's mini-constitution]."
Lau Siu-lai, 40,is a former Occupy protester and university lecturer who is seen as a more moderate democrat and was the prime vote winner for the democracy camp in her constituency.
She made a name for herself through the campaign with her strong performance in radio and TV debates.
She has said that full independence is an unrealistic objective for Hong Kong, but that Hong Kong should enjoy a very high degree of autonomy.
Cheng Chung-tai, 33, is a member of one of the most radical localist groups, Civic Passion.
A fellow at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, he won a seat in the legislature. He openly supports independence for Hong Kong and has expressed concern about protecting the territory's unique language and culture.
He has not avoided controversy. One example was when the families of some students at his university reportedly accused him of inciting civil disobedience. However, he has consistently said that he believes Hong Kongers should take an active stance for the sake of the city.

Fifty people - most of them holidaymakers from the UK - perished in a fire at a leisure complex in 1973. Forty years on, it remains one of the worst disasters in Isle of Man history. | By Lynette HorsburghBBC News
Sally Naden remembers the terror of being trapped in the Summerland fire like it was yesterday.
"It was a horrific, horror inferno," said Mrs Naden.
"There was an explosion and then a huge wall of flames from the floor to the ceiling like a waterfall of fire coming towards us at great speed."
In 1973, Mrs Naden from Poulton, near Blackpool, was then Sally Tinker - a 17-year-old dancer waiting to take to the stage when fire ripped through the Douglas leisure complex.
"It was the most surreal experience. I didn't panic; I think I was just stunned."
She took a deep breath and her eyes widened as she relived the scene in the seven-storey building.
"It has never left me."
'Doors chained up'
The fire had been started by three youngsters who had been smoking near the crazy golf course outside.
"The compere was telling everyone to stay calm and stay in their seats... then there was a big bang, like a smoke bomb exploding," said Mrs Naden.
Pandemonium broke out, she said.
"It was 1973 and it was a different world. There was no fire alarm or sprinklers and no-one took charge.
"There were around 3,000 holidaymakers in Summerland and just two exits. The rest of the fire doors were chained up," she said.
"What made it worse was many parents were separated from their children who were on different levels.
"Instead of just getting out they tried to find their loved ones."
Smashed window
She recalled the horror of seeing parents throwing babies from the balcony.
"They knew they wouldn't get out and threw them in the hope someone below would catch them."
Mrs Naden, now a BBC Radio Lancashire presenter, was unable to reach either exit and followed a group of musicians who were trying to ram a reinforced glass window with a trestle table.
"It took all five band members to lift the table and it took a few attempts to smash it.
"I was safe in the car park but it was such a strange feeling to know not everyone was out.
"People were asking 'Have you seen my mother?' or 'Have you seen my daughter?'
"Summerland was an inferno and you knew they weren't getting out."
Her future husband Dave Naden was performing at the complex with his brother Peter and went to the dressing rooms to fetch their guitars.
"It sounds a crazy thing to do but we didn't realise the fire was going to [take such a hold]," he said.
"We had to jump across table tops to get to the fire exit."
They made it to a fire door only to find it chained and padlocked and had to run up two flights of stairs to find another exit.
The next day, a fire officer told him 11 people had died at the same door, unable to escape.
'Never came back'
A close friend of the couple, drummer Malcolm Ogden, was among the 50 who died.
Mrs Naden said: "He got out but said to his wife 'Wait here, I'm going back for the [symbols]'.
"His wife waited all day and night for him but he never came back."
Amid the tragedy, she said she witnessed acts of true heroism.
"A DJ stayed in the building to catch children being thrown down from the balcony."
When asked if he survived, she answered: "I don't know. I never saw him again."
There was no compensation for the survivors or the families of those who died.
"All we got was a ticket home," said Mrs Naden.
Mr and Mrs Naden recently returned to the Summerland site ahead of the 40th anniversary of the tragedy.
"I won't go back again," she said. "It brought back all these terrible memories and the awful things I witnessed.
"When I read the names on the new memorial of those who didn't make it, it really hit me how lucky we had been."
'Not in vain'
The Summerland Fire Commission conducted a public inquiry into the blaze and said there were "no villains" but that "human errors", a "reliance on an old-boy network" and "poor communications" led to the disaster.
No prosecutions were ever brought.
The UK government's chief fire adviser Peter Holland said the tragedy was caused by a "series of things that went wrong".
These included delays in calling the fire brigade and the use of a transparent plastic in the roof panels which had passed earlier fire testing but melted and dripped in the intense heat, burning people below and spreading the flames.
Mr Holland said victims "did not die in vain" as fire safety standards changed around the world as a result.

There is an air of unreality hanging over Europe. This week, Theresa May will attend her first EU summit. Headlines will be eked out of the leaders' sound bites as they enter the Justus Lipsius building in Brussels. | Gavin HewittChief correspondent@BBCGavinHewitton Twitter
But everyone knows that it won't be until next year that the EU and the UK fully engage and negotiate Brexit.
For the moment, the two sides are circling each other, searching out which has the stronger hand.
The official line is that no negotiations can start until Article 50 has been triggered. So leaders and officials communicate via statements, speeches and sound bites.
In the past week Donald Tusk, the President of the European Council, declared that "the only real alternative to hard Brexit is no Brexit", so setting off another round of speculation about the scale of the UK's task.
It is a strange way to do business. Conversations are taking place and cracks are appearing in the walls of silence. And pressures are mounting, from business, from investors, from the currency markets, from Europe's sluggish economy, to start talking.
What the UK government wants is to gain control over immigration, reduce migrant numbers and retain as much access to the single market as possible. If there is a priority it is to deliver on immigration, even at the expense of the single market.
From the European perspective the aims are irreconcilable. In the past week, Angela Merkel has said again that "if Britain says 'no' to free movement, it can't get full access to the European single market".
Some of the Brexiteers believe the EU will blink first. Their calculation is that it is clearly in the EU's interest to strike a deal with the UK. Common sense will prevail. The EU sells some £70bn more to the UK than we do to them. (However, the EU exports about 3% of its GDP to Britain, while the UK exports 12.5% of its GDP to the EU).
And they also point to the fragility of the eurozone's recovery. It is holding steady but little more. Certainly the defences of the banks have been strengthened but the problem of non-performing loans has not been solved.
Debt (both public and private) is higher than when the crisis began. It matters less when interest rates are low but it could return to haunt the single currency in the future.
The essential flaws in the currency - no common treasury, no pooling of debts - have not been addressed. And, most importantly, the eurozone is still struggling to escape from its reputation as a low growth/high unemployment area.
And, so the argument goes, a trade deal with the UK is very much in its interest. Trade will trump politics. "No, it won't," say some of Europe's leaders.
Some clearly want the UK to suffer for voting to leave. They fear contagion, that other countries might be tempted to follow in the footsteps of the UK. It should be said that there is no indication of that happening in the short term.
And some in Europe are waiting to take advantage if the UK is left outside the single market. Battle has been joined to lure bankers and financiers to Paris and Frankfurt. Red carpets are being laid out.
And in Brussels, they spy an opportunity to deliver what they have long wanted: for London to lose the right to clear deals denominated in euros. And there are some reports of European banks slowing the transfer of staff to London.
That having been said, many politicians in Europe recognise the mutual benefit of a smooth exit by the UK.
So what do they expect?
When Article 50 is triggered, some time before the end of March 2017, the UK sets a two-year clock ticking and so hands the advantage to Brussels. (If there is no deal within that period the UK would have to fall back on World Trade Organization rules and tariffs.)
Many believe that a divorce is possible within those two years but without a trade agreement. In those circumstances, the UK is likely to angle for a five-year transitional arrangement during which it will try to negotiate a free trade deal.
The aim would be to retain as much access to the single market as possible. That might involve having to pay for certain sectors (like the City or cars) having full access to the single market. With the EU struggling to fund its budget demands there might be a willingness to see the UK pay up.
The government has long said that it wants a bespoke deal with the EU but some European leaders see the trade deal with Canada as the best potential model. It excludes 95% of tariffs on goods but it doesn't, however, cover financial services.
Spanish foreign minister Jose Manuel Garcia-Margallo has said that "the deal with Canada is the precedent for the deal between the EU and Britain".
But, as both sides test ideas and probe for weaknesses and advantages, there are pressures.
The EU is entering a period of political uncertainty. Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi is facing a referendum on constitutional reforms in December. If he loses it - and the signs are that it will be close - he may well resign.
The French are due to hold presidential elections in the spring and are unlikely to offer concessions in the heat of a campaign. Angela Merkel is hemmed in by her own election later next year.
The issues of terrorism and migration have not gone away. And the EU's ability to strike a trade deal is under scrutiny.
If the EU-Canada trade deal is blocked others, as well as Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, will ask "who does Europe think it can do business with in years to come?"
For Theresa May and her government there are other pressures.
The business community is losing patience with the unknowns. Investment decisions are pending. They demand a road map. The list of companies, of investors demanding that the UK retains "unfettered access" to the single market will only grow.
Sterling is the worst-performing currency this year driven to a three-decade low. Increased exports have certainly boosted sections in the economy but inflation is increasing.
Eventually increases in food prices will be impossible to ignore politically. A recent poll suggests that the British people now place the importance of trade deals above controlling migration.
In the past week, the President of the European Council Donald Tusk has said that "the brutal truth is that Brexit will be a loss for all of us". The Brexiteers will dispute that and will argue that new opportunities lie outside the European Union.
For the moment, it is still a phoney war but both the EU and the UK are facing enormous pressures that will influence negotiations when they begin in earnest next year.

A new economic study into trade concludes that the costs of Scottish independence would be two to three times greater than the impact from Brexit, and that joining the European Union would do little to offset that cost. The SNP response is that there is no reason why Scotland cannot emulate the success of other countries of a similar size. The report, from the London School of Economics, is set to fuel the post-Brexit debate about independence. Other questions concern the conditions under which Scotland could get faster economic growth, the costs and benefits of remaining in the UK post-Brexit, and whether the economic arguments will make any difference to the outcome. | Douglas FraserBusiness/economy editor, Scotland
Brexit is teaching Britain a lot about borders and trade barriers and it is proving so far to be quite a painful lesson.
After years of lessening friction, we're seeing the impact of paperwork, the need to prove where products came from, and, in some cases, tariffs.
There were lessons also from the USA, where Donald Trump showed how tariffs can be used as an economic weapon, wielded by strong economies against weaker ones.
So how would those lessons apply to Scottish independence? It is a question that has been taken on by trade modellers at the London School of Economics (LSE).
Its findings make uncomfortable reading for those who argue the economic case for independence.
It says: "the costs of independence to the Scottish economy are likely to be two or three times larger than the costs of Brexit, and rejoining the EU following independence would do little to mitigate these costs.
It adds: "From a trade perspective, independence would leave Scotland considerably poorer than staying in the United Kingdom."
What the report does not tell you are the directions or strengths of other dynamics that could be expected with independence such as business investment, inward investment, migration, changes to tax policy or to productivity or a potential change of currency.
Each of those could have different dynamics.
Some are levers that could be used in an effort to boost growth.
Remember that some levers don't work as they are expected to, and can have unwanted consequences: for instance, cutting tax can boost growth, but harm public services.
And some are outside the control of an independent Scottish government, and could go either way in boosting or harming growth.
Border friction
But for now, let's look at the LSE findings, and its sole focus on trade.
Output gap
How long would this process take? The calculations are done over 15 years, which usually counts as the long term.
But in disentangling a trade relationship as highly integrated as the UK's single market, the LSE economists suggest it would take a generation to see the full effects of changed trading relations.
(They don't offer any view on one of the questions in dispute over the timing of another Scottish independence referendum: how long is a generation?)
SNP response
And what are the counter-arguments? Scottish economy secretary Fiona Hyslop has several. Here they are in full:
"As an independent member of the EU, free from the damage of Brexit, Scotland would be part of the huge Single Market which is seven times the size of the UK.
"There is no reason whatsoever that Scotland could not emulate the success of independent countries of our size which are far wealthier per head than the UK.
"Denmark's GDP per head is around 20% higher than the UK's and Norway's is nearly 40% higher.
"In the real world, through membership of the EU, independent Ireland has dramatically reduced its trade dependence on the UK, diversifying into Europe and in the process its national income per head has overtaken the UK's.
"The study is also clear that it takes no account of any changes in migration policy, inward investment or any economic levers the Scottish Government would have control of in an independent Scotland to do things better and boost the economy.
"With our economic resources and advantages, control of economic policy and membership of the EU Scotland would be very well placed to grow the economy.
"It is still too early to calculate the long-term damage that Brexit will do to Scotland's economy, but the disruption it is already causing is deeply concerning."
Will it matter?
None of Ms Hyslop's comments contradict the LSE report's findings. She seeks to set out a different narrative, which assumes that other factors, under the control of an independent Scottish government, would counteract any negative impact on trade with the rest of the UK.
They repeat the key assertion from the Growth Commission, set up by the SNP under former MSP Andrew Wilson, producing a report which is now SNP policy. To repeat: "There is no reason whatsoever that Scotland could not emulate the success of independent countries of our size."
The key questions for the economic debate over independence is: what would be required for Scotland to match that success, how long would it take, and what dislocation and cost would be involved in getting there?
A further question for those in favour of the union, which has become more relevant following Brexit: what is the trajectory of the UK economy if Scotland remains within it, will Brexit harm or benefit the economy, and how long will that process take?
And the other big questions about the debate itself, and for us all: does forecasting the economic effects of independence - whether positive or negative - make any difference to that debate?
Are supporters of independence, and are voters, willing to sacrifice income if that is required to achieve independence?
Will the debate be decided instead on issues of identity, democracy and politics?
This is only one economic analysis of one aspect of independence. It comes from a reputable economic source. Its assumptions are open to challenge.
Other studies will come along in this new, post-Brexit phase of the independence debate, and they will also reflect a very different set of circumstances now that the UK has left the European Union.
But the LSE report is set to reverberate around that debate until the issue is resolved - if it is ever resolved.

Sport proves nothing. Everyone knows that. | By Hugh SchofieldBBC News, Paris
Winning the World Cup doesn't mean that France is poised for a surge of self-confidence, resulting in higher economic growth and contentedness for all.
Nor does it mean that social divisions are suddenly healed. In 1998 France won the Mondiale for the first time, and pundits prematurely proclaimed the emergence of a new multi-colour nation. No-one is so naïve this time round.
Victory does not even have any particular message for the health of French football.
True, the system has produced a prodigious new generation of players - many like the young superstar Kylian Mbappé born in the high-immigration suburbs or banlieues. And by general consensus, Didier Deschamps as manager has been a soft-spoken triumph.
But let's face it: any one of half a dozen countries could have won the World Cup. In the end victory is also down to luck and timing, and whether a ball twists inside or outside a goalpost.
It was France who got the breaks. But as everyone knows, that proves nothing.
And yet…
Tonight, as the country swarms out of the bars and on to the streets to celebrate, those are precisely the three prime emotions: confidence, unity and footballing pride.
For a quarter of a century France has been losing its self-confidence. And then in the last year - since the election of President Emmanuel Macron - there came a turnaround.
Well of optimism
It would be silly to attribute this to Mr Macron alone - he is certainly not a universally popular figure. Perhaps better to see the president as personifying a change in society as a whole, as a younger, more adaptable generation takes the reins.
Whatever the case, no-one can mistake an air of cautious optimism about France today that is as welcome as it is unusual. Quite possibly this is aided by comparison with other countries - say the UK - that seem to the French to be on a downward curve.
But pleasure at the misfortune of others is still pleasure - and for the first time in years, people in France appear to feel (relatively-speaking) good about themselves.
Added to this is a new sense of unaggressive but unembarrassed patriotism in France that probably owes a lot to the terrorist attacks of the last three years.
The tricolour flies from the windows of homes; enlistment for the armed forces is up; the far-right no longer pretends to a monopoly on the symbols of the nation.
Rallying the nation
In football, the country has found it easy to rally behind a team that projects both ethnic diversity and frank patriotic fervour. Kylian Mbappé - child of Cameroonian-Algerian parents - told Le Monde that all he wanted to do was "embody France, represent France and give my all for France".
Striker Antoine Griezmann made a similar outburst at a news conference on Friday, telling journalists that "we should be proud to be French. Life in France is good! We eat well. We have a beautiful country and a beautiful national team".
Long gone, in other words, are the days of surly silences during the singing of the Marseillaise.
Indeed, victory in Russia draws a final line under a dark period of French football, whose low point was the notorious "strike on the bus" in South Africa eight years ago. It has been a long steady fightback under Deschamps, but today the national side is securely back at the top.
In the last six World Cups, France has played three times in the final, and won twice. That is no mean achievement, and a tribute to the way the nation nurtures and keeps its talent. The banlieue wonderboys may leave for rich clubs in England and Spain, but they come back home when it counts.

Sony is adapting some of its PlayStation games for film and TV. | The company has launched a video production studio called PlayStation Productions, which will develop content based on PlayStation games - although we don't yet know which ones.
It's a "better approach" than Sony licensing out its intellectual property to other studios, according to Asad Qizilbash who's heading up the project.
"We know what the PlayStation community loves," he told the Hollywood Reporter.
Sci-fi, action, mystery, horror - Sony's games certainly vary and that's why it thinks it has plenty of content ready to be adapted.
Production will be done in-house and not licensed out, unlike other video game studios, and sister company Sony Pictures can help with distributing the new titles.
But taking a popular game and making it into a blockbuster is a process that's proved tricky in the past.
Assassin's Creed's 2016 film adaptation isn't warmly remembered by many.
But its star Michael Fassbender wasn't worried about the "video game curse" before its release.
"I had no idea there was a curse until people like you told me," he told Radio 1 Newsbeat in 2016.
"By then I was already involved so there was nothing I could do."
He said that there would be no curse if you can "make a good story and translate that to a cinema experience".
An 18% rating on Rotten Tomatoes suggests that didn't happen with Assassin's Creed...
Why is making great movies out of great games so tough?
From Assassin's Creed all the way back to Super Mario in 1993, the transition between game and film has been tough.
The reason why is perhaps a fairly simple one.
The formula for making a successful game and a successful film seem similar, but when you go a bit deeper they're actually not.
After all, imagine what it's like watching someone else play a game. Don't your fingers start to twitch as you long to grab the controller for yourself?
Passively watching the action unfold just isn't in the DNA of a great game. You want to get involved and make your own choices.
Legendary game designer Hideo Kojima, the man behind the Metal Gear series, thinks there's a future where movies are playable and games give the choice to access extended movie-like content within them.
"If we just make a game people are less likely to choose that as something to do," he previously told Newsbeat.
"They would rather engage in something that combines different forms of entertainment together.
"That's where we need to focus our efforts, on this convergence."
Filmaker Neill Blomkamp, who directed District 9 and Elysium, is another who thinks games and films will merge more often in the future.
"There's an elitism in Hollywood when it comes to games," he told us.
"To me it's a highly creative new frontier, it's so undeniably the future I don't see how anyone can argue that it isn't."
Some think it will work the other way round too - actor Nolan North told Newsbeat last year that more movies should be turned into games.
He's voiced some of gaming's most iconic characters, including God of War's Modi, and thinks more big name actors want to be cast in games.
Sony says it's keen to learn from others filmmakers' mistakes, and won't be trying to "retell" game storylines in movies.
"You can see just by watching older video game adaptations that the screenwriter or director didn't understand that world or the gaming thing," Shawn Layden, chairman of Sony's SIE Worldwide Studios, told the Hollywood Reporter.
"The real challenge is, how do you take 80 hours of gameplay and make it into a movie? The answer is, you don't."
He says you take the game's "ethos" and write something specifically for a film audience.
Time will tell if PlayStation can break the video game curse...

The red telephone box was once a common sight across the land, a design so associated with Britishness that tourists would be as likely to pose beside one for a photo than to step inside to make a call. But with the rise of the mobile phone, the redundant kiosks are increasingly being put to inventive uses, from miniature art galleries to pint-sized pubs. | By Catherine LeeBBC News
A decline in payphone usage has drastically reduced the number of phone boxes across the UK - according to BT there were 92,000 in 2002, and there are currently 46,000, including 8,000 traditional red ones.
While this is a far cry from their 73,000-strong heyday in 1980, fans will be glad to know many redundant red boxes have taken on an afterlife, ranging from the sensibly practical to the downright peculiar.
As part of BT's "adopt a kiosk" scheme, communities are able to take over a decommissioned telephone kiosk for £1.
Although new users are not allowed to install "electronic communications apparatus", 3,500 have been snapped up and put to a variety of uses.
One of the most common, especially in rural areas, is as a lending library or book exchange.
Some have become art galleries, including a rare green kiosk in Barningham, Teesdale.
John Hay, from the village, said that when Barningham was offered the kiosk four years ago, nobody knew what to do with it.
"All that was inside it was a beer glass, a crate, half a dozen spiders and a lot of water," he said.
"I cleared it out - though I left the spiders, which I suspect are still there - and put in a Christmas tree, which must have convinced villagers I was well and truly mad."
It was the first of a series of regular displays, including local artworks, seasonal celebrations and a display marking the anniversary of the Battle of the Somme.
Mr Hay said: "There has been a lot of interest with passing walkers, and an Italian travel company actually put us in their brochure.
"It mentioned Buckingham Palace, and Barningham and its phone box."
In the Cambridgeshire village of Shepreth, the redundant kiosk briefly became a pub, as part of a protest at plans to turn the closed local into housing.
For one night only villagers were able to enjoy a pint at the Dog and Bone.
On the commercial front, The Red Kiosk Company leases out decommissioned phone boxes, offering the chance to "run your own business out of an iconic red kiosk".
Edward Ottewell, one of the founders, said: "One advantage of regenerating them is that they are refurbished to their original state, and their use prevents vandalism - all of our tenanted sites have had zero damage."
He said coffee shops were a popular choice, and there were now office "pods", offering access to facilities such as the internet.
Red phone box facts
One of the most recent lets was to a mobile phone repair shop business in Greenwich, south-east London.
Lessee Rob Kerr, from Lovefone, said: "We've had a great response from the community, and the technician has kept his sanity working in a one-square-metre shop."
But as yet, no company seems to have taken up an idea put forward by a resident of the Northumberland village of Ovington.
When its kiosk was adopted by the parish council locals were invited to come up with suggestions as to its future use.
Among them was the world's smallest lap-dancing bar, although this was rejected in favour of a container for a defibrillator.
It is not the only one - defibrillators are now housed in more than 3,000 kiosks, due to the efforts of the Community Heartbeat Trust.
Martin Fagan, from the trust, said: "With something as serious as a cardiac arrest, time is of the essence, and, unfortunately, ambulance services often can't reach country villages in time.
"To install defibrillators in disused phone boxes is ideal, as they're often in the centre of the village, and it means the iconic red kiosk can remain a lifeline for the community."

Security forces have ended a siege by Islamist militants of the Splendid Hotel in Burkina Faso's capital Ouagadougou.
Edward Bunker, an American health worker for an NGO, was staying at the hotel. He spent the night hunkered down in his room and was rescued in the early hours of Saturday morning: | "At about 19:30 on Friday the fire alarm went off. I went out of the room and saw other guests milling about, and no one seemed to be really concerned. So I went back to my room to get ready to leave for the airport.
I went downstairs to settle the bill around 20:30 and it was like a scene out of a movie with smoke, gunfire noise, explosions - but all outside of the walls. And a very, very empty and dark lobby.
I saw someone carrying a gun just outside the hotel and a burning car across the street. and that was my 'oh sh**' moment. I hid near the pool for about five minutes and figured I might just want to plan to spend the night down there.
Some cooks and kitchen staff walked by, and I made some inquires as best as I could in French. They said I should go back to my room. That was probably the best piece of advice I got that night.
I turned on the news to see what was happening.
I ended up spending the night in my bathroom with my computer and - luckily - a good wifi connection. I was able to get in touch with family and friends and crucially also a security consultant from my organisation as well as the US embassy.
It was amazing how quickly the night passed and I was thankful to have the internet for the whole time. In fact, it was a great distraction to catch up on emails and pretend it was a normal working day.
Staying in the bathroom was one piece of advice from the security consultant - to put as many doors between me and the militants. Another was to make as little sound as possible and turn the lights off.
As the security forces approached my room at around 04:00 I was pretty certain they were in fact soldiers - and not militants.
I heard voices that sounded rational and it appeared they were giving instructions in French. They seemed to be making their way methodically through the building. Again, our security consultant was able to advise me that there were French forces in the building and the sounds they were making fitted with the likely pattern of events.
They approached my door and I announced myself - as I had been advised. They told me to open the door slowly and there I saw three French troops with rifles pointing at me, along with some US soldiers.
As they led me out we passed the lobby. I noticed furniture had been tossed around and there was a clear trail of destruction.
Suddenly there was another round of gunfire, and we were told to get down for five to 10 minutes. Lying on the floor with incoming fire and protected by soldiers, I felt it was the closest I was ever going to get to experiencing combat.
Just as the sun was coming up I was led into an armoured personnel carrier and driven down the road to meet US embassy staff."

Chris Brown will release his fourth studio album on Monday 21 March. | F.A.M.E. is the follow-up to 2009's Graffiti and features collaborations with the likes of Justin Bieber, Lil Wayne, Timbaland and Ludacris.
The record has 18 tracks including lead single, Yeah 3X, and Chipmunk track Champion.
The R&B singer had his restraining order eased last month, imposed on him after he attacked ex-girlfriend Rihanna before the Grammys two years ago.
The court ruling remains in effect until August 2014 when his probation is scheduled to end.
Describing the new album, Chris Brown said he thought some of the tracks sounded more grown-up.
He said: "There are songs from all genres: from street records to others that are real soul, 808 heavy that you'll hear in the club, and then others are strictly for the heart; songs that your mom and grandma can listen to and love.
"Collectively, F.A.M.E. is me giving fans every aspect of who I am as far as my art, my culture, and my concepts."
Lead album track Deuces has already sold 1.8 million copies in combined digital/mobile sales in the US, spending 10 weeks at number one and earning Brown one of three Grammy nominations.

Visiting a graveyard for enjoyment is not everyone's cup of tea. But tombstone tourists - or "taphophiles" - are increasingly to be found wandering through cemeteries, examining headstones, and generally enjoying the sombre atmosphere. What is the appeal? | By Bethan BellBBC News
Historians, genealogists, grave-rubbers and fans of the macabre all have their reasons for sloping round burial grounds - but there is also a tourist market for those wanting more than a traditional sightseeing trip.
Sheldon Goodman, grave enthusiast and co-founder of the Cemetery Club, takes groups of interested people through various burial grounds in London, including Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park, Brompton Cemetery, and Highgate.
He says one of the reasons the pastime is increasing in popularity is the number of celebrity deaths over the past few years:
"Highgate, the best-known London cemetery, is due to be receiving the remains of George Michael," he says.
"Events like that really increase awareness and the value of what I like to call 'libraries of the dead'."
Although Michael's plot is in a private area of Highgate closed off to tourists, the cemetery contains many famous graves which can be visited - ranging from those of political philosopher Karl Marx to television prankster Jeremy Beadle.
It also contains some of the finest funerary architecture in the country, says the Friends of Highgate Cemetery Trust, which has looked after and maintained the site since 1975.
The Egyptian Avenue, Circle of Lebanon and the Terrace Catacomb, along with more than 70 other monuments, have been listed by English Heritage, while the cemetery itself is categorised as a Grade I-listed park, complete with landscaping and exotic formal planting.
But it's not just the famous cemeteries that capture the imagination of taphophiles.
Nicola Carpenter from Maidenhead has been fascinated by graveyards since she was aged about eight, when she and other local children would play in the village cemetery. She continues to visit cemeteries a couple of times a month and writes a blog called Beneath Thy Feet.
"I can remember back then reading the names on the headstones and wondering who these people were and what sort of lives they had lived," she says.
"I visit graveyards to satisfy my curiosity as to who these people were that came before me and how they lived in and shaped the town I live in now. My local Victorian cemetery is one I visit often and is where I have found some of the most interesting life stories, and some influential and famous people are buried there.
Ms Carpenter says through her wanderings she has "discovered many fascinating stories - of love and friendship, of betrayal and revenge, murder and suicide.
"Some gravestones have telling inscriptions and epitaphs. For example, a gravestone in Bisham, Berkshire reads, 'In Loving Memory of Vivian Charlotte, wife of David Lewis. Born 22 April 1923 and died in her racing car at Brighton Speed Trials 14 September 1963'.
"A gravestone in Bray bears the words:
'Weep not my husband dear I pray,
It was Jesus called us both away.
With my sweet babe upon my breast
I now enjoy perpetual rest.'"
According to the Design Council, burial grounds in the 19th Century were originally built as public open spaces designed to be attractive places to visit in their own right. It is in these burial grounds we're more likely to see spectacular headstones and memorials.
Before then, especially in big cities, burial sites were crammed in between shops, houses and taverns - wherever there was space. Bodies were tossed amongst other human remains in graves just a few feet deep. They were overcrowded, neglected and smelled awful.
World-famous cemeteries
Père Lachaise in Paris opened on 21 May 1804 and initially was not popular - until the people running the cemetery embarked on a publicity campaign and organised the transfer of the remains of poet and fabulist Jean de La Fontaine and playwright Molière. The fashionable French began to request burial plots and there are now more than a million bodies buried there, and many more in the columbarium which holds the remains of those who have been cremated. Edith Piaf, Jim Morrison and Oscar Wilde are buried there.
Cemitério de São João Batista in Rio de Janeiro is the resting place of many famous Brazilians, including the composer Antônio Carlos Jobim and singer Carmen Miranda. There is also a field of small crosses that makes up the "little angels" graveyard. These are of children aged under seven whose parents had no means of paying for an official burial.
Cementerio de la Recoleta in Buenos Aires contains more than 6,400 statues, sarcophagi, coffins and crypts to commemorate some of Argentina's most celebrated sons and daughters. The tomb of Eva Peron is there, and so is the mausoleum of Liliana Crociati, who died on her honeymoon in Austria in the 1970s. Her parents reconstructed her bedroom within her tomb, and at the entrance placed a bronze statue of Liliana in her wedding dress, with her beloved pet dog at her side.
The Zentralfriedhof in Vienna has a dead population almost twice the number of present living residents of the city. To make the cemetery more attractive, famous citizens such as Ludwig van Beethoven and Franz Schubert were exhumed and transferred there. Funerary monuments were built for others, such as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
Eventually Victorian concerns about hygiene led to many town and city churchyards being closed and replaced by larger cemeteries - often on urban fringes.
"As well as functioning as burial sites, they were also regarded as places for visiting and promenading of a more dignified and morally uplifting kind. The legislation that provided for new burial grounds seemed to have envisaged that they would in due course become public open spaces," the Design Council says.
Mr Goodman believes society's relationship with cemeteries has "ebbed and flowed".
"To the Victorians they were places where you could see rare and beautiful plants, take a stroll in a quiet space and obviously pay your respects to the departed.
"Then the First World War came, and as a nation we experienced loss to an unprecedented level, and the affection for cemeteries suffered as a result."
In the post-Victorian age, flamboyant funerals fell out of favour and with them, ornate tombs.
Conservation charity Caring for God's Acre says many cemeteries are overgrown and neglected - but because of that, have also become a haven for wildlife.
"Many older churchyards have remained virtually untouched and unchanged for generations, allowing plants to thrive and wildlife to flourish alongside historic monuments and memorials," says the organisation, which is non-religious.
It has set up a project asking volunteers to log the heritage and wildlife of burial grounds across the country.
Some cemeteries with tours
Many cemeteries run guided tours, usually by volunteers, including Brookwood near Woking in Surrey. It was originally accessible by rail from a special station - the London Necropolis railway station - next to Waterloo station in central London. Trains had both passenger carriages reserved for different classes and others for coffins (also for different classes).
The Key Hill and Warstone Lane cemeteries in Birmingham are included in a guided walk around the city's Jewellery Quarter. Key Hill holds the remains of Joseph Chamberlain (father of Neville), while Warstone Lane cemetery has a stone erected to a modern-day druid who died in 1935.
Arnos Vale in Bristol is a 45-acre Victorian garden cemetery inspired by the Père-Lachaise cemetery in Paris. Arnos Vale runs daytime and "after hours" tours.
But for the true taphophile, pleasant though the site might be, it is the tombstones that are the main draw.
Mr Goodman's interest also stemmed from childhood, when he would visit his grandfather's grave.
"I used to get confused as to why we'd only ever go to one grave when it was surrounded by hundreds of what were once other people.
"Who were they? What were their stories? Headstones don't really give a clear indication what that person was like. In most cases, they've never even seen their own headstone for obvious reasons, so I make it my personal mission to bring them back to life for a little bit and uncover their lives."
The Find a Grave website - think Facebook for dead people - has records of 159 million graves, with more being added frequently. It estimates there are about 50,000 searches of its database every day.
Website creator Jim Tipton - who lists his favourite graves as those of Al Capone, Karl Marx, Richard Feynman, Al Jolson and Lucille Ball - set it up because he "could not find an existing site that catered to my hobby of visiting the graves of famous people. Much to my surprise, I found that there were many thousands of folks from around the world that shared my interests."
It's not just famous graves which are on Find a Grave, and seemingly run-of-the-mill graveyards can house interesting stones.
"Some people want to make their own mark - in Richmond Cemetery a former cabbie gives his entire life story on a headstone. East Finchley has a bronze figure reclining on a tomb. Highgate has Patrick Caulfield's 'dead' headstone. They stand out and give you a sense of what that person was actually like," says Mr Goodman.
Sometimes the opposite is true, and humdrum graves are the sites of unlikely pilgrimages.
Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham is buried in the small village of Rushock in Worcestershire. Drumsticks, cigarette lighters, dice and bottles of spirits have been left on the rock star's otherwise traditional grave.
An 18th Century grave on a crossroads on Dartmoor, Devon, is covered by flowers, small toys and coins. It's believed to be the final resting place of a woman who hanged herself. Because she took her own life she was not allowed to be buried with religious rites.
In the grounds of Malmesbury Abbey in Wiltshire lies the grave of a certain Hannah Twynnoy who in 1703 became the first person in England to be killed by a tiger. She was a 33-year-old barmaid at a local pub, which was playing host to a menagerie. The story goes that Hannah, for some reason, enjoyed taunting the tiger which eventually lost patience and attacked her. Her epitaph reads:
In bloom of Life she's snatchd from hence,
She had not room to make defence;
For Tyger fierce took Life away.
And here she lies in a bed of Clay,
Until the Resurrection Day.
In a way, it doesn't really matter about who's buried beneath the stone. Everyone has a story.
Mr Goodman says he approaches all cemeteries "with a genuine curiosity as to what's gone before.
"Songs that were once sung, relationships which once were - from a cultural standpoint, cemeteries are great indexes to lives long gone."

A 10-year-old girl from El Salvador died in US custody last year, a previously unreported case that brings to six the number of migrant children known to have died after being detained by border authorities in eight months. | The girl had a history of congenital heart defects and died in September at a hospital in Nebraska, officials say.
Her name, when and how she had entered the US have not been disclosed.
Meanwhile, Democrats have demanded an investigation into the deaths.
President Donald Trump has vowed to clamp down on illegal immigration at the US-Mexico border amid an increase in the number of people trying to cross the frontier in recent months.
He has repeatedly criticised Democrats for their opposition to his plans on immigration and declared a national emergency in February to bypass Congress and appropriate funds for a border wall.
What is known about this case?
The girl entered the care of an Office of Refugee Resettlement facility in San Antonio, Texas, in a "medically fragile" state on 4 March 2018, Mark Weber, a spokesperson for the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), said in a statement. The HHS provides care to unaccompanied minors.
Following an unspecified surgical procedure, complications left her in a comatose state, he added. After her release from hospital in May, the girl was sent to a nursing facility in Phoenix, Arizona, for palliative care.
On 26 September, she was transferred to a nursing facility in Omaha, Nebraska, to be "closer to her family", Mr Weber said. She died three days later due to "fever and respiratory distress".
Officials are not required to announce the deaths to the public. This case marks the first death of migrant child in federal custody since 2010.
Speaking to CBS News, Democratic Texas congressman Joaquin Castro accused the government of covering up the death.
"It's outrageous that another child has died in government custody and that the Trump administration didn't tell anybody," said Mr Castro, who on Tuesday spoke of an "epidemic of death" in the border area.
Writing on Twitter after the girl's death was announced, Mr Trump said: "Democrats don't want to fix the loopholes at the border. They don't want to do anything. Open borders and crime!"
What about the other cases?
On Monday, 16-year-old Carlos Gregorio Hernández Vásquez from Guatemala died at a detention centre in Texas. An official cause of death has not been announced.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) acting commissioner John Sanders said the agency was "saddened by the tragic loss of this young man" and that they were "committed to the health, safety and humane treatment" of those in custody.
The other children known to have died - Wilmer Josué Ramírez Vásquez, two; Juan de León Gutiérrez, 16; Felipe Alónzo-Gomez, eight; Jakelin Caal Maquin, seven - were also from Guatemala.
The Congressional Hispanic Caucus, a group of 38 Democratic members, demanded a federal investigation into the child deaths and detention on the border.
What is happening at the border?
More than 300,000 people were apprehended at the US-Mexico border between January and April, according to official statistics, with numbers rising every month.
Officials say they do not have the facilities to handle the rising numbers of migrants, mainly from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador. Many migrants say they are fleeing persecution, poverty and violence in their countries and plan to seek asylum in the US.
Opposition lawmakers, rights groups and international charities have condemned the treatment of people at the border, pointing to cramped holding pens and shoddy accommodation.

Applications have closed for the post of chief executive at Aberdeenshire Council. | Colin Mackenzie, who was appointed in 2008, announced in September he would be retiring.
Adverts appeared in the national press for the £136,000-a-year post, and a micro site was launched.
An appointment is expected to be made towards the end of November.

Babies born prematurely in the 23rd week of pregnancy exist on the very edge of life. A few go on to become "miracle babies", but most die. The figures are stark, only nine out of 100 will survive, and of that number most are disabled. Is it always right to keep them alive? | By Adam WishartDocumentary Maker, 23 Week Babies: The Price of Life
"I can't really get my head round how they've managed to keep her alive."
Lucy's daughter Matilda was born four months early at Birmingham Women's Hospital, weighing one pound one ounce.
Within 20 seconds of her birth, her tiny body was placed into a plastic bag to prevent her losing too much heat or moisture.
She was carefully transferred into an incubator and hooked up to tubes and gadgets. Cutting-edge technology has been keeping her alive for four weeks.
Had Matilda been born one week earlier at 22 weeks - she would usually have been considered a miscarriage.
Only one out of a hundred babies born at 23 weeks will live a fully able-bodied life One week later at 24 weeks, her chances of survival would be much higher.
Thanks to decades of improving medical science 23 weeks is now considered the "edge of viability". It is one week less than the limit for abortion at 24 weeks.
Senior nurse Katherine Rutherford looked after Matilda immediately after birth - and knows what parents like Lucy go through.
She gave birth prematurely to her daughter Heather, who weighed three pounds having been born at 26 weeks.
In the first few weeks of her life a haemorrhage left Heather permanently quadriplegic.
"I try and explain what the problems are and what the outcomes are liable to be," said Katherine.
"But being a parent you generally hear what you want to hear. You just see a baby in front of you and you want that child to survive."
Heather was born at 26 weeks, which was the very edge of viability in 1990. Now 21, she struggles with her disabilities.
"All I can use of my four limbs is my left arm," said Heather.
"Without carers to lift me into my wheelchair, I'm not able to get myself anything to eat."
Carers arrive at Heather's home every morning and hoist her out of bed using special lifting machinery.
"Basically if my mother or the carers don't come, I'm stuck in bed all day," she said.
Heather had a happy childhood but has found the transition into adulthood hard, and has suffered from depression.
"I had six months of counselling. I was crying every single night.
"I just didn't know where to turn. Horrible things were going through my head.
"I just wished I could end my life. There is obviously nothing else for me in my life, so what is the point of carrying on?"
Resuscitating babies at 23 weeks is not universal. In Holland the policy is to not intervene with babies born at this time, and to allow them to die a dignified death.
"That is how nature works there is no way you can help these babies," said Professor Arend Bos from the Dutch Society of Neonatologists.
"I think we are doing more harm to treat them and after two or three hours or days or six weeks the infant will die anyway, having had a lot of suffering and pain that doesn't have any purpose to it."
So should we be doing the same in the UK? Is saving babies at the edge of "viability", medicine at its most pioneering and brilliant? Or is science pushing the edge of nature too far?
Over the last 15 years tremendous progress in medicine has meant the survival rate of babies born in the 24th week or later has almost doubled.
But Imogen Morgan, clinical director at the neonatal unit said: "Outcomes for babies at 23 weeks are not changing dramatically and that suggests you are near a biological limit of nature."
Anne Aukett, a consultant paediatrician said medicine was keeping alive babies born at 23 weeks for longer, although survival rates have not increased.
"Overall survival rates have not improved. We are keeping them alive longer before they die. You spend all that money for weeks and then the baby doesn't survive. It does not seem like a good use of public money."
Indeed, we are spending increasingly more on neonatal intensive care, but those who survive it, like Heather, are left to fend for themselves when they reach 18.
With few prospects, Heather feels abandoned by the very society that was so keen for her to live.
"If you are willing to support someone at the beginning of life you should be willing to support them to the end," Anne Aukett said.
Matilda survived open heart surgery and was allowed home after five months in hospital.
"She's gone from one pound one to seven pounds in five months - she's come a long way," said her mother Lucy.
Lucy said she was aware it would be a while before she knew if being born so prematurely would have any lasting consequences for Matilda.
"Fingers crossed we won't have to spend very much more time in hospital, but we are prepared for coming back. Hopefully she'll be OK."
In the six months I spent at Birmingham Women's Hospital making this documentary for BBC Two, Matilda was the only 23-week baby to survive.
My feeling is that resuscitation should be the exception rather than the rule. Only those babies with a decent chance of survival should be resuscitated.
And that the real priority for the NHS - especially in these straitened times - should be in finding ways of preventing Britain from having one of the worst premature birth rates in Europe.
Whatever we decide, there is no question in my mind that we must start providing lifelong care to any baby which is kept alive but then has to live with disabilities, like Heather.

The coronavirus lockdown has led to a national spring clean of epic proportions, with people stuck at home preparing to donate their unwanted goods. What does this mean for the charity shops on the receiving end of the Covid clearout? | By Orla Moore & Laurence CawleyBBC News Online
Tucked away on a small retail park on the edge of Shoeburyness, near Southend, Essex, is the Havens Hospices charity shop, brimming with colour and intrigue.
"We take anything," manager Eany Callahan says.
"Everything is money to us. We get money when we recycle, which is brilliant, so we don't say no to anything.
"I've had well over 100 calls in the past three days asking about donations and I've asked them to stagger them so we can cope."
But the drop-off-and-sort system has had to change, though. All donations are quarantined for three days before sale.
You might also be interested in:
Mr Callahan says items are "processed, steamed and sprayed with disinfectant" before reaching the shop floor.
"We've had lots of different things, from bric-a-brac to clothing," he adds.
"We've had very vintage items such as handbags, puzzles, games and books.
"In one case, we had more than 40 signed photos of the same person and we even had a sword donated, which I nearly got in trouble with the police for."
Among the packed racks and shelves is a new green sequinned dress, which will go on the hospice's eBay store.
The price tag is £220 for the "best dress in the shop". However, even if it was being sold in the shop, a potential buyer wouldn't be able to try it on as the fitting rooms are closed off.
There is also a limit on numbers, hand sanitizer for customers, a screen at the till and contactless payments."We are asking everybody coming into the shop just to act sensibly," Mr Callahan adds.
The store is one of 23 Havens Hospices shops, raising money for a charity that provides palliative and respite support for children, young people and adults across Essex.
Financially, the charity is "in a stable position until July, and then the future looks uncertain" - when it is expected to lose 70% of its fundraising income.
The Southend Half Marathon, which was cancelled on 14 June, would normally generate £200,000 alone.
The charity's director of income generation, Trevor Johnson, said measures were in place "to let our managers, staff and shoppers feel safe".
"We wanted to be part of the community again and start raising funds but we could only do that if we had a proper plan.
But the lockdown has affected staffing levels, with older volunteers and those shielding unable to return, while others had "re-evaluated their priorities" and stepped down.
"It's not a case of losing 14 people and recruiting 14," he said.
Mother-of-three Kim Shambrook has worked in the shop for three years - and is currently the only volunteer there.
"The changes are a bit of a nightmare but they have to be done to keep ourselves and our customers safe. It's a massive difference," she said.
"We were used to a shop-load of people now it's just five at a time. And people want to pay cash."
She said she hoped the new way of working wouldn't put shoppers off.
"Please come - we need you," she said.
Mr Johnson said it was too early to say how much money the charity's shops had lost during the lockdown, but he had been encouraged by Monday's trading figures.
Charity shops need to adapt, he said, and this flexibility had become more important than ever.
"The pandemic has changed everything for everyone, but I do think there is still a place for charity shops as a social hub in the community."

Andy Gotts' photographic career began 30 years ago when, as a student, he persuaded Stephen Fry to pose for him. Since then he has photographed the biggest names in the entertainment business. Here, he remembers a few of those who have been captured by his camera. | Paul Newman
One of the highlights of my career, without doubt, was spending time with the legendary actor Paul Newman. Paul was the most gentleman of gentlemen. Kind, witty and always had a knowing smile.
I have never shown this picture before.
The reason I have kept this specific shot to myself over the years is that it was taken at the very moment Paul gave me the nickname One Shot Gotts.
He would not believe any photographer could get the shot so quickly. So when I exclaimed… "Mr Newman, we have it."
He retorted with a huge smile.
"Mr Gotts your reputation is justified, you really are a one-shot guy. Hey you're One Shot Gotts."
Kylie Minogue
I have known of her since her stint in Neighbours and she always seemed fun and bubbly, and I was not disappointed. As the minute hand struck the hour, she arrived exactly on time and full of energy.
When the shoot started it did not take many shots before the fun began when she started to dance and spin, and then in the very last shot she lowered her head and flicked her hair back just like a shampoo commercial.
Samuel L Jackson
Sam oozes coolness and is every bit the lovely guy you would think he would be.
This shoot took place in Beverly Hills and Sam turned up in a neon orange T-shirt with matching Bermuda shorts and baseball cap.
We had a great chat and I had plenty of time to get a rapport going. As I was setting up the lighting Sam took his bag to the bathroom and got changed. When he emerged he was dressed in black and there stood Mr Cool.
The shoot was great fun and here are a few out-takes, an unseen contact-sheet of us just looning around.
Meryl Streep
I shot Meryl at the Soho Hotel when she was doing a press junket for The Iron Lady and was in and out of interviews all day, but she graciously made time for me.
I wanted some strong lighting and atmosphere in the shots, so I played with having a light directly over Meryl's head to give more of an iconic feel.
All at once the door was flung open and in breezed Ms Streep and she was warm and welcoming and very keen to be snapped by me. Following close behind, was her personal make-up artist who said a quick hello then toddled off to find a quiet corner.
We began shooting and I started with the usual soft lighting, to ease into the session. It was going swimmingly with lots of banter back and forth. I then changed to the more dramatic lighting and within seconds a voice boomed across the room:
"Ms Streep is never lit like that in her photographs."
It was her make-up artist and he started giving some disapproving shakes of the head in the direction of Meryl.
I saw the lighting was actually great, so I briefly stopped shooting and asked him if he could fetch me the PR guy so we can look at softer lighting options.
As soon as the make-up guy left the room I started shooting with my preferred overhead flashes, giggling to myself like a naughty schoolboy. By the time the make-up guy returned, Meryl and I had finished the shoot and were saying our goodbyes. To this day I stand by my lighting choices and still smile to myself knowing how I achieved them.
Tony Curtis
I had a trip to LA planned so I dropped Tony a note saying I was on the West Coast.
To my shock, I received a note back saying if I travelled to Vegas, I could shoot him at his house. I was thrilled and literally was counting the days down before I flew to the US.
The day before I left, my mobile phone rang and I saw it was his number.
I answered with a heavy heart as I was expecting him to cancel the shoot, but instead in a quiet and humble voice he said:
"Andy I know you are coming to photograph me tomorrow and I have seen your amazing work. I'm not in a good way at the moment but can I ask you one thing? Can you make me look like an icon just one more time?"
It didn't take me long to think of my flag idea as I knew his nickname was the American Prince. But meeting Tony was one of the highlights of my career as not only was he one of my icons but he was also a sweet guy.
Little was I to know Tony would die a few days later and this would be the very last portrait taken of him.
Morgan Freeman
I shot velvet-toned Morgan Freeman in London while he was filming Batman Begins. I was all set and awaiting the grand entrance, and was not disappointed when this 6'4" frame of a cinema legend entered the room.
Morgan is usually shot in a very iconic, almost holy-looking way so I wanted something a little different. I asked how he entertained his grandchildren when they hung out together and he retorted that he pulled goofy faces to make them laugh.
I suggested we could play around with a "passport booth" style of shots, and the man had a little bit of fun.
Clint Eastwood
I never try to plan my portraits, but I always have a feeling of the type of shot I want to capture.
With Clint it was pretty easy. Whenever I hear his name I picture the narrowing of the eyes and thinning of the lips, usually just before drawing a gun from a holster or throwing a punch.
This was the face I wanted.
While I was setting up, Clint was at his piano playing a little bit of jazz and spirits where high. When I was ready he came over to my lighting set-up and presented himself to me with this lovely warm, calm, charming face. Not what I wanted.
I exclaimed: "I am looking for Dirty Harry not Grandpa Walton."
Clint had a bit of a laugh… but then in an instant narrowed his eyes. This is the result.
And to go full circle, here is the picture that began it all, Stephen Fry in 1990, taken while he visited Norfolk College of Arts and Technology where Gotts was studying.
Here are a few more stars who have been photographed by Andy Gotts:

Remembrance Sunday marks 100 years since the World War One Armistice. In Shetland, the Roll of Honour provides one of the UK's most complete records of those killed in the conflict. | Shetland lost close to 700 men in World War One.
The losses Shetland suffered were some of the worst in the UK, at around 1 in every 38 people. The UK average was about 1 in 60.
According to Shetland and the Great War, by Linda Riddell, Thomas Manson had a team of 36 people go across Shetland to collect names, information, and photographs of the deceased.
At the time, Shetland had a majority female population. They were left to tend to the family farms in the war years.
Some families suffered large losses. The Hardy family lost three sons (top row and bottom left above) in the conflict.
In a poignant ceremony six years after the end of WW1, their mother, Janet Hardy, unveiled the War Memorial in the centre of Lerwick.

Louise O'Shea is a firm believer that new mums make formidable employees. Like many working parents, the chief executive of price comparison site Confused.com, says lockdown is a challenge, but reckons it might bring benefits in the future. | By Dougal ShawBusiness reporter, BBC News
"I was in hospital in the labour ward and I had a little mini-office set up around me," remembers O'Shea of her first pregnancy.
She had a senior role at insurers Admiral Group at the time.
"I actually interviewed an employee while I was in the ward waiting to give birth." She recalls having to explain why a woman was screaming in the background.
Today O'Shea has two daughters, aged five and three.
She was heavily pregnant with her second daughter when she successfully applied for the role of CEO at Confused.com in 2017, having been finance director at the company.
She was so keen to get stuck into her first CEO role that she took only eight weeks maternity leave. On her first day as CEO, she had to bring her newborn into work, because her husband couldn't help that day.
"I never want to let being a mum stop me from being a great CEO," explains O'Shea.
But she admits she has had doubts during her journey to the top.
"About a year after returning to work, when I was packing away my second daughter's baby clothes, I was crying because I could remember her elder sister wearing all her clothes and I couldn't remember her wearing them, because I wasn't there.
"It was this moment [when I recognised] what a big sacrifice I had made - but I'd still probably do it again."
A lot of the battles she now fights are underpinned by her desire to create a better working environment for her daughters in the future.
She says she frequently spots small signs of sexism in the business world and she feels a moral duty to confront it now that she has the power of being a CEO.
She has challenged radio shows for giving male panellists more airtime than female ones. She also called out male colleagues for mistakenly congratulating her for being "female Stem (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) leader of the year" - when she was simply "Stem leader of the year", competing against men.
Parental power
A lot of women fear losing momentum in their career when they have children, arguably more so in the intensely male-dominated world of financial tech.
However, it was a chat with a male boss that reassured O'Shea that she could keep her career on track, and his words have stayed with her to this day.
He said: "I love it when women have babies. When they come back, they don't take any nonsense because they don't have time."
She has found this to be true, and she breaks it down to three points when passing it on to her female employees.
Firstly, you will be super-organised. When you have babies, getting everything ready for a day trip is like a military operation, says O'Shea. "You're on it."
Secondly, after going through childbirth, nothing will ever scare you again. "Well my old boss was right about that," she laughs.
"Thirdly, you're going to have this clock ticking in the back of your head, because you know you want to get home to feed the kids. So when you are in those meetings where people aren't making a decision or procrastinating, you're going to cut through the nonsense."
She passes on this advice so new mums don't need to feel self doubt when they are at home, worrying about the return to work.
"You need to think about everything that you're learning and bring that with you to the workplace," she says.
I ask O'Shea if principles like being super-organised don't just apply to new mums, but to parents in general - in other words, men too?
She's not so sure.
Even though men are better at contributing to child rearing these days, she argues it is mothers who tend to bear the mental load of project managing family life.
"Do men remember to take nappy bags with them when they go out the house?" she asks me.
Well that's me busted!
Flexible future
The current lockdown, combined with school closures, has hit working parents hard.
O'Shea says she has tried to support parents at Confused.com by offering flexible hours and even laying on online entertainment for children at home.
She thinks working conditions will end up actually being better for parents once lockdown conditions are eased.
"I think the more flexible approach to work that we're experiencing now is going to significantly help parents," she says.
She thinks every business leader should reflect on what legacy they are leaving. And one of hers is that employees who are about to become parents should be valued as an asset, rather than treated as an inconvenience.

When Nadine Marshall waved her 18-year-old son Conner off as he went to stay at a caravan site with friends, she never imagined the next time she saw him he would be lying critically injured in a hospital bed after a savage beating by a stranger. | By Nicola BryanBBC News
And the mental image of her son, in the hours before he died, bruised, bloodied and swollen continues to haunt her two years after the brutal attack.
On Saturday 7 March 2015, Conner left the home he shared with his family in Barry in the Vale of Glamorgan for a trip to Trecco Bay caravan park in Porthcawl, Bridgend county.
His mother recalls waving him off: "It was the usual 'have fun, stay safe'...
"He was really excited, he was buzzing, he was in a good place in his life."
He told her he would be back early the next day on Sunday 8 March to celebrate her birthday, so when there was a knock at the door just before 07:30 the next day she assumed it was Conner.
"I did say to Rich [Conner's father]: 'That's very early for Conner'... in my head I thought he hadn't been to bed yet and come straight home'."
But when she opened the door she was met by two police officers.
"Straight away my heart dropped. They asked if I was the mum of Conner... they said there'd been an incident that Conner was involved in and that he was on his way to the hospital."
The family raced to University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff in a blur. On arrival a doctor told them Conner was in resus with life threatening injuries.
After spending what seemed like hours in a side room, Nadine and her husband Richard finally got to see him.
"That image, that's the flashbacks that I get," she said.
"The noise, the smell... Conner was on the bed with a big red cradle to keep his neck and head still. He just looked horrific.
"His face was just a mass of blue bruising and blood. He had a huge big gash on the top of his forehead.
"His lips were so swollen they were stopping him breathing through his nose.
"He had tubes and pipes and it was just awful... there wasn't a piece of face that wasn't bruised or bloodied.
"He had this hole in the side of his face which we knew later was from the metal pole...
"When they pulled the blanket across you could see footprints on his torso.
"He was hypothermic and they had heaters blowing on him to try and warm him up."
As Conner's parents waited at his bedside hoping against all hope their eldest son would pull through, police were investigating what had happened.
It emerged that David Braddon, a 26-year-old man from Caerphilly, had carried out a sustained and horrifying assault on Conner that night.
High on a cocktail of alcohol and drugs, his killer had stamped on his face, kicked him in the ribs, stripped him naked and repeatedly hit him with a metal pole in an attack which caused Conner "a horrific degree of suffering" according to the judge who jailed him for life after he was found guilty of murder.
Meanwhile, as Conner's parents tried to comprehend how their beautiful son could be lying in a hospital bed with such horrific injuries, they pressed medics for information.
"I was asking repeatedly 'he's going to be ok isn't he? He's going to be ok?'..." said Nadine.
"The lead doctor said to us 'you need to understand he's not in a good place. He's very, very poorly. We're doing what we can'.
"It was like being spoken to in another language."
But there was more shocking news in store.
Connor's injuries showed he did not even get the chance to fight back: "I remember the detective saying 'if you look at his hands there's no marks... that means there was no fight'.
"It was just something else to take on."
One day after the attack, one of the doctors came to speak to the family. He explained things were looking bleak; brain scans had shown Conner was not responding.
But the Marshalls had noticed their son was twitching and were sure it was a sign he was recovering. "I asked the nurse if that was positive, if he was coming round," said Nadine.
"I felt awful because she had to tell us 'no, it's not, it's a symptom that things are getting worse'.
"The doctor explained that despite what they were doing he wasn't warming, he wasn't reacting in the way they would have hoped... the doctor was brutally honest and said it was irreversible.
"I was sitting there thinking 'this can't happen, not to me, not to my boy'."
After spending four days and four nights by his side, Nadine and Richard said their final goodbyes to their son.
Conner had been passionate about organ donation. His injuries were so severe only his liver and kidneys could be donated but went on to save the lives of three people.
The trauma of losing her son in such brutal circumstances has left Nadine with post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety and flashbacks. She has not been able to return to work: "It's getting used to that tight belt around my tummy that gets tighter."
She said the sounds of a siren or a medical drama on TV could trigger feelings of terror: "It takes you right back to that moment. The smells, the sounds. It's horrible. It's terrifying."
And despite the agony the family have faced, Nadine believes the worst is yet to come. "I don't even think I've started real grieving... I know it hasn't got as big or as horrible as it is going to be.
"I just see it as a big hole and I'm teetering on the edge of that hole all the time.
"I know I need to go right down into the bottom of that hole and come out... I will get out but for me that is such a scary thought."

He is, without a doubt, one of the best-known people on the planet. In an age where celebrity is worshipped, the Dalai Lama is a faith leader who has become a spiritual superstar. | By Rajini VaidyanathanBBC News, Dharamshala
As he approaches his 84th birthday, the monk who has handed out millions of handshakes and crafted as many inspirational quotes, is candid and at times shocking.
I met him at his residence high in the mountains, in the town of McLeod-Ganj near Dharamshala in the northern Indian state of Himachal Pradesh.
For a man so revered - seen as superhuman by many - he was refreshingly down to Earth. As he entered the room wearing his trademark red robes, assisted by his aides, he emanated the air of an approachable Clark Kent rather than an unearthly Superman.
And yet this is a man who has met world leaders and shared stages with pop stars and actors. A man who has long been a thorn in China's side.
"One Chinese official once called me a demon," he said laughing, before raising his hands to his head to mimic horns. "When I first heard that, my response was - yes, I'm a demon with horns."
"I pity their ignorance, their political thinking is very narrow minded," he added as he chuckled.
The grudge with China is longstanding and has defined his entire life. The Dalai Lama was forced to flee his home of Tibet in 1959 after China sent troops into the region.
He sought refuge in India and for six decades has been living in exile in Dharamsala along with some 10,000 Tibetans. His monastery - which overlooks the snow-capped peaks of the Dhauladhar range in the Himalayas - is breathtakingly beautiful. But the view is bittersweet.
His life's cause - to return home - remains a distant dream, even if he insists it may yet happen. "The Tibetan people have trust in me, they ask me [to] come to Tibet," he says.
But in the next breath he adds that India has also become his "spiritual home". An implicit acceptance, perhaps, that his goal of an autonomous Tibet is far from reality.
While he "formally" stepped down from political responsibilities in 2011, as the spiritual leader of the Tibetan people he has continued to be their figurehead.
There haven't been talks between his representatives and China for many years.
The Dalai Lama told me China's President Xi Jinping had yet to ask him for a meeting. He did tell me that he had had some discussions with retired Chinese officials in the past few years, but none of these seem to have moved the dial.
In the 1950s, when China first sent troops in, Tibet was poor. Now it is an economic behemoth and its growing influence has in many ways overshadowed the Dalai Lama's cause.
There was a time when the Dalai Lama was the toast of capitals around the world as US presidents lined up to meet him. George W Bush famously presented him with the Congressional gold medal while Barack Obama met him on a number of occasions, including in Delhi in 2017 after he left office.
But relations with the current occupant of the White House are very different. Despite being open to a meeting with President Donald Trump, the Dalai Lama told me that Mr Trump, who is close to China's Xi, had never asked for one.
The Dalai Lama's advancing years may have curtailed his foreign travel schedule, but the spiritual leader says he hasn't received a call from Mr Trump either.
In a scathing assessment, he said the 45th president's time in office was defined by a "lack of moral principle", a contrast to remarks made in 2016 when he said he had "no worries" about a Trump presidency.
"When he became president he expressed America first. That is wrong," the Dalai Lama told me.
The withdrawal from the Paris climate accord and the migrant crisis are two big areas of concern. "When I saw pictures of some of those young children, I was sad," he said of the situation at the US-Mexico border. "America... should take a global responsibility."
The Dalai Lama is keen to separate his relationship with the president, or lack of one, with that of other American politicians. He highlights the vice-president's support for the Tibetan people and the backing he has enjoyed from politicians in both houses of Congress.
President Trump's apparent snub is reflective of the wider pressure Beijing is able to exert on those who engage with the Dalai Lama.
In 2012, China temporarily froze relations with the UK after David Cameron met him and. last year, the Indian government cancelled its plans for a celebration to mark 60 years of his exile, for fear it would upset Beijing.
The Dalai Lama's world view is inherently global. When we discuss Brexit he tells me that he is "an admirer of the European Union" pointing out that global partnerships have been key in avoiding major conflicts.
But the world's most famous refugee has some surprising views on immigration.
In a speech last year he said that refugees to the European Union should ultimately return home, adding that "Europe is for Europeans", a statement he stood by when I challenged him on it.
"European countries should take these refugees and give them education and training, and the aim is return to their own land with certain skills," he said.
The Dalai Lama believes the end game should be to rebuild the countries people have fled. But with some 70 million people displaced across the world according to the latest figures, what if people want to stay?
"A limited number is OK, but the whole of Europe [will] eventually become Muslim country, African country - impossible," he said. A controversial viewpoint, and a reminder that while the Dalai Lama is a spiritual figurehead he is also a politician with views and opinions like everyone else.
Later in our conversation I also challenged him on another remark he made in 2015, when he said if he was followed by a female Dalai Lama she would have to be attractive.
In another surprise, he reaffirmed his belief that beauty matters as much as brains. "If a female Dalai Lama comes, she should be more attractive," he told me while laughing.
His message seemed at odds for a man who preaches a message of tolerance and inner confidence, but the Dalai Lama told me that in Buddhist literature both inner and outer beauty matter. He also said that equality was important and was keen to stress that he supported women's rights and equal pay in the workplace.
As the interview drew to a close, I was struck by how unexpectedly frank our discussion had been, which reminded me of something the Dalai Lama had told me earlier in the day.
One advantage of not being able to return home to Tibet, he said, was that India is a free country where he can express himself openly.
The Dalai Lama's message of unity is universal - but for a man famed for his compassion, he can also be controversial.

The biggest trade deal in decades was struck on Monday. | The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) cuts trade tariffs and sets common standards in trade for 12 Pacific rim countries, including the US and Japan.
It marks the end of five years of often bitter and tense negotiations.
Supporters say it could be worth billions of dollars to the countries involved but critics say it was negotiated in secret and is biased towards corporations.
The deal covers about 40% of the world economy and was signed after five days of talks in Atlanta in the US.
Despite the success of the negotiations, the deal still has to be ratified by lawmakers in each country.
What is the TPP?
How did it start? With a trade agreement signed 10 years ago between Brunei, Chile, New Zealand and Singapore.
How big is it? Pretty big. The 12 countries have a population of about 800 million and are responsible for 40% of world trade.
What are the criticisms? That negotiations have been conducted in secret, and that it favours big corporations.
Who benefits most? Japan stands to reap huge economic benefits from the deal, while for the US it is an important strategic move.
What happens next? The agreement will need to be ratified by each of the individual member countries.
More: What is the TPP and why does it matter?
For President Barack Obama, the trade deal is a major victory.
He said: "This partnership levels the playing field for our farmers, ranchers, and manufacturers by eliminating more than 18,000 taxes that various countries put on our products."
But US Senator Bernie Sanders, a US Democratic presidential candidate, said: "Wall Street and other big corporations have won again."
He said the deal would cost US jobs and hurt consumers and that he would "do all that I can to defeat this agreement" in Congress.
China left out
China was not involved in the agreement, and the Obama administration is hoping it will be forced to accept most of the standards laid down by TPP.
He said: "When more than 95% of our potential customers live outside our borders, we can't let countries like China write the rules of the global economy.
"We should write those rules, opening new markets to American products while setting high standards for protecting workers and preserving our environment."
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe told reporters the deal was a "major outcome not just for Japan but also for the future of the Asia-Pacific" region.
Biotech dispute
The final round of talks were delayed by negotiations over how long pharmaceutical corporations should be allowed to keep a monopoly period on their drugs.
The US wanted 12 years of protection, saying that by guaranteeing revenues over a long period it encouraged companies to invest in new research.
Australia, New Zealand and several public health groups argued for five years before allowing cheaper generic or "copy-cat" into the market.
They said a shorter patent would bring down drug costs for health services and bring lifesaving medicine to poorer patients.
Even though a compromise was reached, no definitive protection period was confirmed.
Speaking at a press conference following the deal, US Trade Representative Michael Froman hailed the deal as the first to set a period of protection for patents on new drugs, which he said would "incentivise" drug producers.
But the Washington-based Biotechnology Industry Association said it was "very disappointed" by the reports that the agreement fell short of the 12-year protections sought by the US.
Tense issues
The car industry was another area of intense negotiation with countries agonising over how much of a vehicle had to be manufactured within the TPP countries in order to qualify for duty-free status.
Agriculture proved another sticking point with countries like New Zealand wanting more access to markets in Canada, Mexico, Japan and the United States.
Canada meanwhile fought to keep access to its domestic dairy and poultry markets strictly limited. The issue and its impact on rural voters is particularly sensitive ahead of the federal election in two weeks time.
Asked about potential job losses - a criticism of the deal - Canada's trade minister Ed Fast said: "We don't anticipate that there will be job losses. Obviously there will be industries that have to adapt."
The agreement was a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity" for Canada to shape outcomes and rules in the Asia Pacific region, Mr Fast added.
