Nigeria international Ighalo, who has now scored 20 goals in 24 league games in 2015, beat Tim Krul at the near post for the 26-year-old's first early on.
The striker then took Troy Deeney's pass to round Krul before the break.
Daryl Janmaat gave Newcastle a lifeline from close range but Steve McClaren's side struggled to create chances despite moving off the bottom.
The Magpies overtook fellow strugglers Sunderland after their 2-0 defeat by Bournemouth, representing one of the few positives on another miserable day for home supporters at St James' Park.
They have seen their team win only three of 25 Premier League games in 2015 and despite a second-half improvement led almost single-handedly by Dutch right-back Janmaat, they have only scored three goals in six league games this season.
Their depressing form matches last term when Newcastle were winless in their first seven league games before winning five in succession under former boss Alan Pardew.

Former England boss McClaren said before the match that trying to turn around the fortunes of Newcastle, who narrowly missed out on relegation last season, was "a little bit like a car crash".

And his side looked bereft of drive in the first half where Watford broke quickly and had the finishing touch required in the form of the impressive Ighalo.
Newcastle repeatedly attacked down the wings, but with only four of 40 crosses finding their target, and Papiss Cisse being withdrawn at half-time after missing one decent chance, there was a lack of cutting edge.
Florian Thauvin was the most lively of Newcastle's attackers but it took Janmaat's intervention to get them back into the game, the full-back finishing well after a one-two with Moussa Sissoko.
Boos rang out from some home supporters at the end of the game, and with Chelsea and Manchester City up next, McClaren's task is not about to get any easier.
Ighalo provided the composure in front of goal that Newcastle were lacking as he extended a fabulous scoring run that has made him the most prolific striker in England's top four divisions this year.
However, he was indebted to Watford skipper Troy Deeney, who was tireless in his support play and set up the second goal with a clever ball in behind the Newcastle defence.
Three of Ighalo's four Premier League goals this season have been assisted by his strike partner.
Deeney was not alone in putting in an impressive shift for the visitors.
Once Watford had established their lead they defended superbly as Newcastle threatened from the flanks.
A solid display by the Hornets' back four was aided by convincing performances from defensive midfielders Etienne Capoue and Ben Watson, who made his first Premier League start of the season.
Watford boss Quique Sanchez Flores was beaming at full-time, and with good cause after a performance in which his players always seemed to offer support to team-mates, whether in attack or defence.
Newcastle boss Steve McClaren: "I am trying to change a lot and being here two-and-a-half months, it is very difficult to change things around quickly. I think Newcastle have won three games in the last 25, after a good run in November last year, so there is history there that needs changing and turning around."

Watford boss Quique Sanchez Flores: "We deserved it because we played really well. We have a very positive mentality and we always think we can win games.
"I am really pleased we have so much confidence. We are building a new team but we are playing as if we have played together for a long time."

The gang carried a handgun, a crowbar and a machete as they burst into the Kirkcaldy home of Dwayne Kinner, who was with his cousin Nicholas Roberts.
James Mackie, 30, Derek Finlay, 31, Gordon Ellis, 24, and Scott Smith, 23, raided the flat on 8 January 2015.
A stolen phone with a tracking app took the police to the gang.
They also made off with a haul of £2,500.
The High Court in Edinburgh heard that the victims believed they were going to be shot after the gun was pointed at their heads and another robber threatened he was going to cut their fingers off.
The gun, which was discovered to be an air pistol, was later found behind a kickboard in a kitchen at a house in Glenrothes, which Finlay had previously had access to.
Advocate Ashley Edwards QC said it had the appearance of a firearm.
Mackie, from Kirkcaldy, Ellis, from Cardenden, Finlay, a prisoner and Smith, from Cardenden, all pleaded guilty to assaulting and robbing the victims.
Judge Michael O'Grady QC deferred sentence for the preparation of background reports and all four were remanded in custody. | Four thieves who forced their way into a Fife flat and held two men at gunpoint while they stole money and valuables have admitted the raid. | 39457205 | [

The two probationary officers, aged 23 and 24, appeared before Assistant Chief Constable Robin Smith, who recommended they should be dismissed.
Both officers have since resigned, Sussex Police said.
The investigation came after they filmed themselves near the site of the air crash where 11 people died after a jet crashed on to the A27 on 22 August.
The recording was made at the police cordon and accompanied by an inappropriate and offensive message.
Sussex Police launched an internal investigation after the footage and message were sent on social media to a colleague who reported the pair.
The force said both constables exercised their right to tender resignations under regulation 13, a provision specific to probationary officers.
Chief Constable Giles York said the pair were "clearly remorseful" and had acknowledged the impact of their actions, but would not go on to become "well-conducted officers" in his view.
"When it really mattered the officers failed to show understanding and compassion for the victims and their families," Mr York said.
Genuine mistakes were forgivable, he added, but said the behaviour of the two officers was "inexplicable and caused unnecessary distress to the families of those involved".
The Sussex Police Federation, which had represented the two officers throughout the case, said: "We are content that they have been judged fairly and accept and understand the decision that has been reached." | Two Sussex police constables questioned over their conduct at the site of the Shoreham air crash have left the force. | 34459488 | [

His Scottish trip came after SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon said Scottish voters would never forgive Labour if it allowed the Conservatives back.
The Tories said Mr Miliband's claim "changes nothing".
The Liberal Democrats have claimed the SNP views the election as a stepping stone to another independence vote.
Labour leader Mr Miliband said during a special BBC Question Time programme on Thursday evening that a Labour government is "not going to happen" if the price of power was doing a deal with the SNP.
He added: "I'm not going to sacrifice the future of our country, the unity of our country, I'm not going to give in to SNP demands around Trident, around the deficit or anything like that."
Mr Miliband has come under sustained pressure from the Conservatives throughout the election campaign over the prospect of a Labour-SNP deal in the event of a hung parliament.
Ms Sturgeon faced questions from a studio audience on BBC Scotland following Mr Miliband's appearance on Question Time.
She said: "I heard Ed Miliband and he sounded awfully like he was saying, and I hope that I am wrong about this because I think people across Scotland and much of the UK will be appalled if I am right, he sounded as if he was saying that he would rather see David Cameron and the Conservatives back in government than actually work with the SNP.
"Now, if he means that then I don't think people in Scotland will ever forgive Labour for allowing the Conservatives back into office."
Polls have suggested Labour is facing the prospect of a heavy defeat in its former Scottish stronghold, with the SNP on course to win the vast majority of seats.
During the Labour rally in Glasgow, Mr Miliband evoked the names of Labour's Scottish founder Keir Hardie and the architects of devolution John Smith and Donald Dewar, and ask Scots who their parents and grandparents would want to lead the country.
He urged voters in Scotland not to "gamble" on the SNP and insisted "you can guarantee change with Labour".
He said his opposition to any post-election deal with Nicola Sturgeon's SNP is for "principled reasons", adding: "We cannot do a deal with a party that wants to break up the UK when we want to build it up."
Mr Miliband said the UK "could be on the verge of electing a Labour government", and added: "Nationalism never built a school. It never lifted people out of poverty. It never created a welfare state that healed the sick and protected our most vulnerable.
Ms Sturgeon has made campaign stops in East Lothian, Dundee and Fife as she takes the SNP's message to communities around the country.
Speaking on BBC Radio 4's World at One, the SNP leader said: "The SNP is not going into Westminster to bring down governments or to stop budgets getting through.
"We would be going to try to get more progressive policies from a minority Labour government."
Elsewhere, Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson joined Borders candidate John Lamont at a rally followed by a street stall event in Galashiels.
Ms Davidson said on Thursday that the choice facing voters in next Thursday's election was between "a party which will keep Scotland's economy strong and keep Scotland in the UK and a weak Labour government haggling with the SNP over how to run the UK".
Speaking in Leeds about Mr Miliband's assertion, Prime Minister Cameron said: "Is he really saying that if Labour don't get a majority but if Labour plus the SNP is a majority 'I won't be PM'? Of course he's not saying that.
"The threat today is the same as the threat yesterday. Ed Miliband propped up by the SNP not governing on behalf of the whole country."
Meanwhile, Scottish Lib Dem leader Willie Rennie met therapy animals as he revealed plans to boost mental health services.
Mr Rennie visited volunteers from Canine Concern in Edinburgh. The group's Therapet programme brings together pet owners with individuals struggling with mental or physical ill health.
Mr Rennie said his party would use their planned £800m investment in the NHS in Scotland to rebalance support between physical and mental health services.
On potential post-election deals, he said the voters faced a choice between a government influenced by UKIP's Nigel Farage, the SNP's Alex Salmond or the Liberal Democrats.
Mr Rennie insisted the Lib Dems would hold politics in the centre ground and help keep the economy on track fairly, and said Scotland needed to focus on the issues that mattered rather than a second independence referendum.
What are the top issues for each political party at the 2015 general election?

Mullaney (113) plus Riki Wessels (81) and Samit Patel's (85) century partnership saw Notts beyond 300, and Chris Read added an unbeaten 63.
Surrey's Tom Curran took three wickets and West Indies paceman Ravi Rampaul (5-93) saw off Notts' lower order.
At the close, Surrey were 7-0 having survived two overs unscathed.
Surrey, who took the option to bowl first without a toss, removed Greg Smith and Michael Lumb before lunch, but could not halt Mullaney until he had guided Notts beyond 200.
The hosts, who picked up maximum batting bonus points, looked like posting a huge total until Wessels was caught behind by Ben Foakes off Rampaul to leave Notts 308-5.
Surrey will resume on Monday with openers Rory Burns and Arun Harinath looking to give them a foothold in the match. | Nottinghamshire piled up 446 on the opening day of the 2016 season as Steven Mullaney punished newly-promoted Surrey with an impressive hundred. | 35960702 | [

The antiques, valued at between £2,000 and £3,000, were taken from Osterley Park House in Twickenham, south-west London, on 16 July.
They were taken from a locked cabinet in a room that was closed to the public due to a wedding at the house.
The pieces have images of Russian ruler Catherine the Great and Prussian king Frederick William II, and were made between 1770 and 1775.
The cups and saucers, which are made of Berlin porcelain, are described as dark blue and painted 'en grisaille' with heavy gilding, flower sprays, finials and branch handles.
Det Con Ray Swan, from the Mets Art's and Antiques Unit, said: "The cups and saucers are of significant historical value, we believe that whoever took them specifically targeted these pieces.
"We would urge anyone who may know of their whereabouts to come forward as they may hold vital information to help us catch whoever was responsible for this burglary." | Two 300-year-old cups with saucers have been stolen from a country house. | 34013959 | [

Judge DW Deshpande said the actor would have to be present in the court for the judgement.
Khan has been charged with culpable homicide by the Mumbai court.
He recently told the court he was not driving on the night of the incident.
The actor also said his driver Altaf was driving the car when the crash occurred.
If convicted, he faces 10 years in prison.
Late on the night of 28 September 2002, Khan's Toyota Land Cruiser rammed into the American Express bakery in the Bandra area of Mumbai, authorities say.
The vehicle ran over five people sleeping on the streets, killing 38-year-old Noor Ullah Khan and seriously injuring three others. Another person received minor injuries.
The prosecution has alleged that Khan was driving the car and that he was drunk.
The actor, who has always denied the charges against him, recently told the court that he was not drunk and was not driving the car either.
Khan is one of Bollywood's biggest stars and has starred in more than 80 Hindi-language films.
Several of his films, including Dabangg, Ready, Bodyguard, Ek Tha Tiger, Maine Pyar Kiya and Hum Aap Ke Hain Kaun, have been huge commercial hits. | A court in India will give its verdict on 6 May in a 2002 hit-and-run incident in which Bollywood star Salman Khan is accused of running over five men sleeping on a pavement, killing one of them. | 32392485 | [

Rhodri Colwyn Philipps, 50 - the 4th Viscount St Davids - wrote the message four days after Ms Miller won a Brexit legal challenge against the government.
Chief magistrate Emma Arbuthnot said she had "no doubt it was menacing".
Philipps, who called his comments "satire", faces a custodial sentence.
He was found guilty of two counts of making malicious communications and acquitted of a third at Westminster Magistrates' Court.
One of the counts related to a post regarding Ms Miller, published on Facebook on 7 November 2016, which said: "£5,000 for the first person to 'accidentally' run over this bloody troublesome first generation immigrant."
Philipps, of Knightsbridge, London, described her as a "boat jumper" and added: "If this is what we should expect from immigrants, send them back to their stinking jungles."
Ms Arbuthnot found this offence was racially aggravated.
The court heard how Ms Miller, 52, said she felt "violated" by Philipps's "shocking" comments about her.
Ms Miller led a successful legal challenge which, on 3 November, resulted in the government being told to consult Parliament before formally beginning the Brexit process.
Philipps, who defended himself throughout the trial, said his posts had been simply reflecting how he and others felt following this ruling in the High Court.
He told the court: "My family motto is 'Love of Country is my motivation'."
He said his comments were "meant to be a form of satire, a literary technique, iterated in my personal style, which may not be to everyone's taste, but is understood and accepted by everyone who knows me".
Ms Arbuthnot, in a series of exchanges with the peer, asked Philipps: "Boat jumper, how can I see that as anything other than a racial, ethnic aggravation?"
But Philipps denied the allegation that his posts were "racially aggravated" saying that describing Ms Miller as a "boat jumper" and that she should go back to the "steaming jungle" were "statements of fact not a racist comment at all".
He added that he would not have made any serious threat "on an account where I could easily be identified".
He added he had deleted the posts as soon as he realised that his closed circle of Facebook friends had been "infiltrated" and screen shots of the posts had been passed to Ms Miller.
Delivering her verdict, Ms Arbuthnot said there was "nothing private about a Facebook post".
The other post Philipps was convicted for was in response to a news article about an immigrant in Luton, who was involved in a row over housing.
Philipps wrote: "I will open the bidding. £2,000 in cash for the first person to carve Arnold Sube into pieces."
Kate Mulholland, from the Crown Prosecution Service said: "No-one should have these kind of menacing comments made to them or about them."
Philipps will be sentenced later this week. | An aristocrat who wrote an online post offering £5,000 to anyone who ran over businesswoman Gina Miller has been found guilty of two charges of making menacing communications. | 40574754 | [

David Vallenilla's 22-year-old son, also called David, was shot by military police on Thursday.
Mr Vallenilla says he once worked with the president on Caracas' transport system, and called on his "former colleague" to clear his son's name.
The president has said firearms must not be used on protesters.
"I want to speak to my former colleague of the Caracas Metro," Mr Vallenilla told a group of reporters outside the morgue.
"Nicolás Maduro, you know that we worked together, I'm Supervisor Vallenilla."
He said he used to be Mr Maduro's boss, although the past working relationship between them has not yet been confirmed.
President Maduro is a former bus driver, who got involved in trade unions and then national politics, becoming president in 2013 after his predecessor Hugo Chavez died.
"Please, Nicolás, my friend," Mr Vallenilla said with tears streaming down his face, before calling on the leader to make it clear that his only son "was not a criminal, he was a graduating student".
"You met him when he was little," he added.
Earlier in the week, Fabián Urbina, 17, was also shot and killed as security forces and demonstrators clashed in Caracas.
There have been almost daily anti-government protests in Venezuela for over two months as the country's economic and political crisis has worsened.
More than 70 people have been killed in protest-related violence since 1 April, according to figures released by the chief prosecutor's office.
On Thursday, Interior Minister Néstor Reverol tweeted to confirm the death of a protester and said a police sergeant had fired an "unauthorised weapon".
President Maduro, in a press conference on the same day, said: "I am giving the clear order that you can not use firearms. I am giving the clear order that you can never shoot in a demonstration, under any conditions."
A group of demonstrators returned on Friday to the place where Mr Vallenilla was killed, and set some trucks on fire.
Also on Friday, supporters of jailed opposition leader Leopoldo López released footage that they say captures his cries from a military prison on the outskirts of Caracas.
"Lilian!" he calls to his wife. "They are torturing me!"
In a press conference earlier the same day, Lilian Tintori said she has not been able to see him for 19 days and his lawyers have been denied access for 78 days.
News site Ultimas Noticias has responded by publishing photos of the politician, which they say are from Friday and show him to be "fine".

Officials say journalists who filmed Bowatte Indarathana's self-immolation could have tried to have him rescued.
The Media Ministry Secretary, Charitha Herath, said the monk had told at least one TV journalist of his plan.
Meanwhile, hardline Buddhist nationalists are hailing the dead monk as a hero for his act.
Mr Herath said any reporter who knew in advance of the monk's plans should have contacted the police.
"My issue is that if you have already [been] informed by somebody that he is going to commit suicide, you are supposed to at least inform others to get rid of that disaster," he said.
Venerable Indarathana was protesting against the slaughter of cattle and the alleged conversion of Buddhists by Sri Lanka's minority faiths.
He set himself on fire outside the holiest Buddhist shrine in the country - the Temple of the Tooth in the central city of Kandy. He died in intensive care in the capital Colombo the following day.
The monk - believed to be aged 30 - belonged to a Buddhist revivalist group which has been campaigning against the Muslim halal method of slaughtering animals.
The government condemned media outlets showing video of the incident.
The BBC's correspondent in Sri Lanka, Charles Haviland, says some viewers have criticised the extensive coverage the suicide received from a hardline Buddhist TV channel, Swarnavahini.
However, Sinhalese ultra-nationalist ministers in the government have praised the incident as an act of self-sacrifice for the good of the country, he adds.
Dozens of monks from the same group, Voice of Sinhala, and their supporters, staged a demonstration in Colombo on Sunday after the authorities rejected their demand for the monk to be given a state funeral.
Self-immolation by Buddhist monks in Sri Lanka is exceptionally rare, although many Tibetan monks have recently committed suicide in this way for political reasons. | Sri Lanka is to investigate the role of the media in the death of a Buddhist monk on Saturday, the day after he set fire to himself. | 22681763 | [

Mr Dewani, 34, is accused of ordering the murder of his new wife, 28-year-old Anni, who was shot in Cape Town in November 2010. He denies murder.
The Bristol businessman has been fighting against extradition for three years but lost his latest appeal.
Mr Dewani is expected to appear at Western Cape High Court on Tuesday.
In a statement Scotland Yard said: "Shrien Dewani, 34, has today, 7 April, at approx 20:00hrs been extradited from the UK to South Africa."
He was taken from Fromeside Hospital, a secure mental health unit in Bristol, to the city's airport by officers from the Metropolitan Police Service Extradition Unit.
Officers were met at the airport by representatives from the South African authorities who have escorted him on the flight to South Africa.
Mr Dewani was originally arrested by officers from the extradition unit on 7 December 2010 at the request of the South African authorities.
The family of Mrs Dewani, a Swedish national, welcomed the extradition adding that they "need justice".
Mr Dewani and his wife were held at gunpoint while being driven in a taxi through Gugulethu township near Cape Town.
He was thrown from the car later that night and the body of Mrs Dewani was found the next day with a single gunshot wound to the neck.
Speaking at a news conference earlier, Mrs Dewani's brother, Anish Hindocha said: "It's been very difficult.
"There is no life in our family any more, we struggle. With the help of the South African people, with the help of the British people, we are at least trying to cope."
Mr Hindocha said the protracted legal battle to have Mr Dewani extradited had been "very heavy" for the family.
Mrs Dewani's uncle, Ashok Hindocha, said the family would be attending the court hearing.
He said: "From today and onwards this case will be about Anni. Until now it hasn't been about what really happened to her.
"The justice system is the way it is. Obviously we were extremely surprised that it took such a long time. There is one nation, one powerful nation called the United Kingdom, that has a treaty with South Africa.
"That treaty was challenged, so we are happy that it went through. Unfortunately it took a long time."
Mr Dewani's lawyers argued that he should not be forced from the UK to face trial until he had recovered from mental health problems, including depression and post-traumatic stress disorder.
But last month judges at the High Court rejected his appeal and denied him the chance to take the case to the Supreme Court.
They agreed with the South African authorities that if Mr Dewani was not fit to stand trial within 18 months he would be returned to the UK.
The South African Department of Justice said Mr Dewani will be taken straight to court after he lands and is expected to appear at Western Cape High Court, where he will be formally charged.
He will be accompanied by a doctor, nurse and police officers during the journey, because he is "a patient and suspect who is in police custody".
Journalists will be allowed to film inside the courtroom but all cameras will have to be switched off as soon as the judge enters the room.
It is understood Mr Dewani's legal team could apply for bail. If that is refused, he will be taken to the high-care wing of Valkenberg, a psychiatric facility, the BBC's Karen Schoonbee in Cape Town understands.
Three men have been convicted and jailed over Mrs Dewani's death, including taxi driver Zola Tongo, who was given 18 years after admitting his role in the killing.
Xolile Mngeni, who prosecutors claim was the hitman, was convicted of premeditated murder over the shooting, and another accomplice, Mziwamadoda Qwabe, pleaded guilty to murder and was handed a 25-year prison sentence. | Honeymoon murder suspect Shrien Dewani has been extradited from the UK to South Africa, Scotland Yard has said. | 26931880 | [

Like any election, there will be some seats that will prove more crucial than others - some that are safer for sitting candidates than parts of Wales where there is a genuine contest.
These are five seats which could reflect major shifts in the electorate and tell the story of this year's snap poll.
This is Labour First Minister Carwyn Jones's back yard.
And in April, Theresa May came here and parked her metaphorical tank on it.
It was a statement of how ambitious the Conservative campaign is - this seat has not been blue since the 1980s.
Labour is defending a majority of 1,927.
If UKIP's vote vanished - it was 5,911 in 2015 - and switched to the Conservatives, the Tory candidate could be well placed to snatch it.
It is one of several Labour-held marginal seats that could be vulnerable in South Wales. The margins are different, but Newport West, Cardiff West and Cardiff South and Penarth are similar battlegrounds.
BBC Welsh affairs editor Vaughan Roderick said the main battlegrounds this year are areas that have been mainly Labour since the late 1980s but which the Conservatives won in 1983, such as Bridgend.
"You've also got ones that the Tories just failed to win in 1983 which are also on the table," he said. "Those are your Cardiff Souths and your Wrexhams," he said.
"There are the normally safe Labour seats that would be regarded as two-way marginals."
"The battleground has moved deeper and deeper into Labour territory over the years," he said.
"Back a couple of elections, the battleground included both Pembrokeshire seats, Monmouth, and Clwyd West.
But he says "there are a host of other battleground seats that really seem to be off the table now".
This is the most marginal seat in the UK.
On paper this is one seat that Labour could get back.
A seat it held for more than 100 years, but lost in 2015 by a whisker to the Conservatives with just 27 votes in it.
The swing away from Labour in the opinion polls could make that a tougher proposition, even if the party addresses complaints that it took the constituency for granted two years ago.
But if Labour is successful both here and in the tight Tory/Labour marginal of Vale of Clwyd could Labour activists be breathing a major sigh of relief that this election was not as bad for their party as the pundits predicted?
In 2015 the Liberal Democrats had a terrible election. They saw major losses across the UK while their share of Welsh MPs fell from three seats to one.
The pro-EU party is now pinning its hopes on capitalising on the concerns of Remain voters following the referendum.
In Wales, its best bet for that strategy is Cardiff Central. It is, on paper, a marginal that Labour took from the Lib Dems in 2015 with a majority of 4,981.
But could this seat frustrate Lib Dem hopes, with more Tory-inclined voters peeling away from the party and backing a Conservative candidate?
If it does, this could become an example of a three-way marginal seats in Wales, and that could benefit of Labour.
Vaughan Roderick said, on the basis of the local elections, Cardiff Central is "going to be difficult".
"You've got a whole pile of Tory voters who, in normal times ,vote tactically for the Lib Dems," he said.
"If your message is, we're the party of Remain, why should your blue-rinse Tory in Cyncoed vote Lib Dem to keep Labour out?"
The Conservatives have been strongly tipped to make further inroads into north Wales since gaining Vale of Clwyd at the 2015 general election.
There are a cluster of Labour/Tory marginals here - Alyn and Deeside, Wrexham and Delyn as well as Clwyd South - but Tory hopes of snatching these seats in the assembly election last year were dashed.
Politics has since changed - we have a new prime minister and we have Brexit.
So could the new landscape change the political colours of north east Wales?
At the start of the general election campaign it was Rhondda where it was thought a senior Plaid Cymru party figure might make a run for Westminster.
After not exactly stopping the speculation for several days, party leader Leanne Wood decided she would not go for the seat.
Instead, the big headline selection for the party was on the Isle of Anglesey, where former leader Ieuan Wyn Jones has put his hat in the ring for the constituency of Ynys Mon.
In 2015 Plaid fell just short of gaining the seat from Labour by 229 votes.
In an election dominated by accusations between the two main UK parties, can Plaid prevent a squeeze on smaller parties and make gains?
The constituency, Vaughan Roderick says, is probably Plaid's best hope.
"You've got a funny little set of seats which involve parties other than Labour and the Tories, which were two-way marginals last time, which could become three-way marginals this time," he said.
"There are three of those - Ynys Mon, Ceredigion and Cardiff Central," he said.
"An upsurge in the Tory vote there could have odd impacts on who ends up winning. They are seats where you might win on 30% of the vote."
We should keep one eye on Rhondda, too.
Even though Leanne Wood is not running, can Plaid replicate its major success story of the assembly election last year? | On 8 June voters in Wales will head to the polls to decide who will represent them in the 40 constituencies. | 39869669 | [

The comedian and actor has been married to Malaak Compton-Rock for 19 years.
A statement issued through his lawyer confirmed the split: "Chris Rock has filed for divorce from his wife, Malaak.
"This is a personal matter and Chris requests privacy as he and Malaak work through this process and focus on their family."
The couple have two children together, daughters, Lola Simone, 12, and Zahra Savannah, 10.
Chris Rock once joked during a routine: "Relationships are hard, man. In order for any relationship to work both of you have to be on the same page.
"You both have to have the same focus. And that focus is... it's all about her."
Chris Rock made his name as a stand-up comic in the 1980s.
The 49-year-old then went onto forge a successful TV career before appearing in films like Dr Dolittle and Madagascar.
In his latest film, Top Five, Rock plays a comedian who is persuaded into having his upcoming wedding screened as part of a reality TV show.

According to organisers a record 3.6 million turned out to vote in the Scottish independence referendum.
More than 100,000 of the total were 16 to 17-year-olds who had registered to vote.
Erin Fyfe McWilliam, 16 said: "I'm glad the government thought we were able to make decisions for our country."
She thinks it's put young people in the spotlight: "Usually the older generation see us as being the 'tallywags' who don't care about politics at all.
"But I do think this referendum has taught the younger generation a lot about politics."
A survey, commissioned by Conservative peer Lord Ashcroft, said 71% of 16 to 17-year-olds voted for Scotland to be independent and 29% voted against.
So even if the age-group contributed their political views, it didn't appear to influence the outcome.
Scotland remains part of the United Kingdom after the "No" campaign won.
The Scottish referendum was a one-off for 16 and 17-year-olds, after the Scottish Parliament passed legislation allowing it to happen.
But for years youth campaign groups have been trying to get the UK voting age lowered, arguing you can get married at 16 and pay your taxes, so why not vote?
Gaelan Miller 17, who voted in the referendum, agreed that he didn't have that much life experience but said that shouldn't matter.
"Sometimes I think young folk like me can be influenced by your parents and we don't have mortgages," he said.
"But that's not to say we can't look at statistics at what's happened before with mortgages and ask your parents questions."
The Lib Dems are all for 16 and 17-year-olds voting and promised it in their 2010 manifesto.
Labour leader, Ed Miliband, also backs lowering the age.
UKIP are against it, the Green Party is for and the Scottish National Party (SNP) is in favour as well.
David Cameron and the Tories oppose it, so until all the parties agree to debate the issue it's unlikely to happen.
Senior Lib Dem minister and Scottish MP, Danny Alexander, told Newsbeat he believes young people "bring a freshness to the debate and ask important questions".
He said: "I've always believed that 16 to 17-year-olds should have the vote.
"Some of the best debates and discussion I have had about the Scottish referendum have been with young people in schools and Newsbeat's Big Debate."
But when asked about lowering the voting age before the next General election in May 2015, he was less optimistic.
"Not every party wants that so that we will have to look at that. We need to build a consensus across all parties for that happen. So we could have debate the constitutional changes in the UK," the chief of the Treasury said.
"All parties have to agree to do that. But I think the time has come for reform."
17-year-old Erin added: "It's a bit disappointing being given this opportunity, then being told a few months down the line you have to wait a few years. I think it should be changed so that 16 and 17 year olds can vote."
In the last general election in 2010, fewer than half of all 18 to 24-year-olds voted, which was much lower than the national average.

In the late 1960s/early 1970s, the ice fields slipping down Mont Blanc and the surrounding mountains of the European range covered some 375 sq km.
By the late 2000s, this area had fallen to about 275 sq km.
The research has been presented at the American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting, the world's largest annual gathering of Earth scientists.
It mirrors some findings of retreat occurring in other sectors of the Alps which sit across the borders of several nations, but predominantly Switzerland, Austria, Slovenia, Germany, France, and Italy.
The new French Alps glaciers inventory was produced by Marie Gardent, from the University of Savoie, and colleagues.
It assessed the roughly 600 glaciers in broad areas incorporating the Ecrins, Belledonne, Vanoise, Ubaye and Grande Rousse Arves massifs, as well as the famous Mont Blanc Massif in the north.
The team drew upon map archives, past satellite imagery and aerial photographs. Manual inspection was used to check the automatic delineation methods employed in the pictures was correct.
"We use manual delineation to verify the satellite data because there can be a problem with debris cover on a glacier," explained Ms Gardent.
"Automatic delineation from satellite data will sometimes say there is no glacier when in fact we know there is one there. Also, deep shadows can hide the glacier margins."
The only existing glacial inventory from the French Alps was published four decades ago within the context of the World Glacier Inventory. It found the overall area of ice to be about 375 sq km.
By 1985-86, in spite of a short advancing period in the late 70s/early 80s, glacial coverage had decreased to a value close to 340 sq km, the new survey shows.
Since then, the withdrawal has accelerated, with the area being reduced to about 275 sq km in the late 2000s.
This represents an average loss of some 26% over the last 40 years. The retreat is not uniform across the French Alps, however. The greatest losses have been seen in the southern sectors. In the Belledonne Massif, for example, glaciers have almost completely disappeared; and in the Ecrins Massif, glacial retreat is more than three times stronger than in the Mont Blanc Massif.
"The glacier retreat is less important in the northern Alps than in the southern Alps," Ms Gardent emphasised.
"We think this is because of the lower elevation of the mountains in the south, but also because of climatic conditions which are different. There is more precipitation in the north and there is also more cloud."
The northern region includes the biggest French glacier of all - La Mer de Glace, which falls over a 1,000m in altitude down Mont Blanc itself. Its area today is just over 30 sq km, a shade smaller than the 31.5 sq km in the late 1960s/early 1970s.
Efforts to assess and monitor glacier health are going on across the Alpine region.
At this very meeting three years ago, Swiss researchers reported that glaciers on their part of the European range were also losing mass at an accelerating rate.

As he was in the summer, the 38-year-old has again been linked with the vacant national job following the departure of Sam Allardyce on Tuesday.
Howe guided Bournemouth to Premier League safety last season after winning the Championship title in 2015.
"My mindset and my full attention is here with AFC Bournemouth," Howe told BBC Radio Solent.
"The last thing you need is to be distracted. I certainly won't be, but I know other people will talk about it."
Howe was recently asked in an interview with the BBC's The Premier League Show if the role as national coach would ever appeal to him in the future.
"The England job, I think, is the ultimate," he told presenter Gary Lineker during filming before Allardyce's departure. "I would never say no, but it's not something I want to consider."

Howe has now moved to reassure Bournemouth supporters his view has not changed despite subsequent events.
"I have pledged my allegiance to AFC Bournemouth time and time again," he said.
"When these situations and these stories occur, it's more the press than absolutely anything else. I'm absolutely committed to AFC Bournemouth." | Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe says he will not be distracted by talk linking him with the England manager's role. | 37505319 | [

The 26-year-old scored 20 goals in 52 games for Bristol City, after signing from French club Angers in July 2015.
The Ivory Coast international had also been the subject of interest from Derby County and Premier League side Hull.
Villa had reached an agreement to sign Hull forward Abel Hernandez, but the move fell through over personal terms.
Bristol City owner Steve Lansdown had previously said they would not sell Kodjia to any fellow Championship club, and that any deal would have to exceed £10m.
The deal represents the largest transfer fee City have ever received for a player, surpassing the £3.5m the club sold Ade Akinbiyi to Wolves for in September 1999.
Villa boss Roberto Di Matteo said he had signed a "proven goalscorer" in Kodjia, while City chief operating officer Mark Ashton said the club had retained a sell-on clause and decided to disclose the fee "due to the high-profile nature and speculation surrounding the deal".
Ashton added: "We've continually told Jonathan that we don't want him to go, but recently he's made it clear that he's aware of the interest of other clubs and that he wanted to leave."
Kodjia is a proven goal scorer at Championship level, a physical and competitive style of player with greater mobility than a Rudy Gestede or Libor Kozak.
Whether he is quite the "world-class striker" that Villa chairman Dr Tony Xia promised via his prolific Twitter account is dubious, but he could well thrive on the sort of service Ross McCormack and Jack Grealish are capable of providing.
The Villa squad was always going to need revolution rather than evolution after last season's psychologically damaging relegation - Kodjia is the latest component of a summer of change. | Aston Villa have signed Bristol City striker Jonathan Kodjia on a four-year deal, for an initial £11m that may rise to a Championship record fee of £15m. | 37220214 | [

Vincent Uzomah, who is 50 years old and understood to be supply teacher, was attacked at Dixons Kings Academy at 08:55 BST.
He was stabbed once in the stomach with a knife during a science lesson but is in a stable condition, police said.
The teenager was arrested in the city centre following an extensive manhunt.
Det Supt Simon Atkinson, from West Yorkshire Police, said the teacher was attacked in front of other students.
"There were a number of pupils who witnessed this incident, which took place in a classroom, and they are currently liaising with specially trained officers who are obviously supporting them at this difficult time.
"This is believed to be an isolated incident and the police are continuing inquiries to establish the facts," he said.
It is thought Mr Uzomah had only been working at the school for four weeks.
Police said his injuries are not life threatening and his family are at his bedside.
Executive principal of the Dixons Academy group, Nick Weller, said: "It happened right at the beginning of the school day and there were some students who witnessed it.
"Those students have been interviewed by the police. Obviously, it's a very shocking thing for them to see.
"The general atmosphere in the school is very calm, quite orderly, we're trying to keep to normal routines as much as possible."
Mr Weller said there was nothing in school that suggested the attack was about to happen.
He added: "The police are looking into the lead up to this incident, there was nothing in school that led up to it.
"There may have been other people outside the school who maybe knew something."
He confirmed the suspect has been a pupil at the school for a year.
The school, formerly called the King's Science Academy, opened in 2011 and was one of the first free schools to open.
It has about 700 pupils and has since become part of the Dixons academy group.
Education Secretary Nicky Morgan said violence of any kind in schools is "totally unacceptable", adding that her department is "ready and prepared to offer all necessary support".
Ian Murch, of the National Union of Teachers' Bradford branch, which has members at the school, said: "Obviously people are shocked - they would be when an incident like this happens at a school. We hope it can be resolved without any more suffering or difficulties for anybody."
He said the incident "does raise questions with people about safety and what can be done to improve safety". | A 14-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a teacher was stabbed at a Bradford school. | 33100114 | [

The Point stars Caerphilly-born TV presenter and actor Matt Johnson, who plays the younger brother of a man who is convinced he does not want to live anymore.
The film will be shot in the Brecon Beacons, near the home of its scriptwriter Jasper Warry.
Mr Johnson is an active ambassador for the mental health charity Mind.
He recently presented the documentary Iselder a Fi (Depression and Me) discussing his own personal experiences with depression for S4C.
As well as appearing in The Point, he will also be the executive producer.
He said the script was "one of the best he's ever read".
"It wonderfully tackles the hugely important issues of mental health in a distinct, moving and humorous way."
Mr Warry said he was "made up" with Mr Johnson's involvement and hopes to start shooting in November.
He said they will be using local talent wherever possible, both in front and behind of the camera. | A Welsh feature film which tackles mental health issues is due to be shot in Powys later this year. | 40004104 | [

Thirty-six whales were rescued and pushed back into the sea at Tuticorin on Tuesday, but 28 of them floated back to the shore and died on Wednesday.
Earlier, 45 whales died after 81 of the animals were stranded on Monday.
The last time such an incident occurred in Tuticorin was in 1973 when 147 whales died.
Local fishermen, helped by officials, have been using mechanised boats to float the stranded whales back into the sea, but many of the animals have returned to the shore, BBC Hindi's Imran Qureshi reports.
"This is a well known phenomenon. When there is mass stranding, whales return ashore. Pilot whales are very social animals and they live in groups. They are very aware that some of their group members are in distress on the shore, possibly dead, so they don't wish to go back into the sea," whale expert Dr Kumaran Sathasivam said.
The dead whales are being buried near the shore at Tuticorin, officials say. | The number of short-finned pilot whales who have died after they were stranded on a beach in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu has risen to 73, officials said. | 35309225 | [

Colombia's Attorney General Eduardo Montealegre said the office was run by a criminal organisation that had intercepted emails from a Farc rebel negotiator and the government.
He said President Juan Manuel Santos was also "probably" targeted.
Peace talks began in Cuba in 2012 to try to end five decades of conflict.
"This office intercepted emails from the press chief of the Farc in (the Cuban capital) Havana, an institutional email from the national government, and two emails from Cuban journalists who are covering the peace process in Havana," Mr Montealegre told a news conference in Bogota.
"The purpose of this office, the purpose of the people who were involved in this criminal enterprise, was to sabotage, interfere and affect the peace process in Havana," he said.
"It appears that, through this office of interceptions, the emails of the president of the republic were also probably intercepted."
One person, Andres Sepulveda, was arrested for allegedly running the operation and selling the information he obtained to third parties.
The attorney general said they were investigating who was paying to gain access to the information.
The Farc, Colombia's largest guerrilla group, has been in talks with the government in Cuba since November 2012 to try to end the longest-running internal conflict in Latin America.
Hundreds of thousands of people have been killed and some three million more have been internally displaced since the two sides began fighting in the 1960s.
President Santos has said he hopes to sign a peace treaty with left-wing rebels this year. | Colombian authorities say they have raided an office that illegally spied on rebel and government communication to try to undermine peace talks. | 27303458 | [

Owner Cuerden Leisure is selling Blackpool's South and Central Piers and the Grade II listed Llandudno Pier.
St John Stott, director at Cuerden Leisure, which also owns Eastbourne Pier, said the company was "restructuring its assets".
Blackpool North Pier was bought by a local businessman in 2011.
Collectively, they are on the market for offers of around £12.6m, with individual guide prices of £4.8m for Blackpool Central, £3.3m for Blackpool South and £4.5m for Llandudno Pier.
Blackpool Central Pier is home to a 33m high (108ft) Ferris wheel, Blackpool South Pier and Llandudno Pier were all built in the 19th Century.
Llandudno, which is 695m long (2,280ft), is the only pier with listed building status meaning any future owners would require Listed Building Consent to make changes to the structure.
Known as the "Queen of Welsh Piers", it nestles in the crescent bay between the outcrops of the Little and Great Orme.
Blackpool Central Pier, which stands at 341m long (1,118ft), and Blackpool South Pier, which is 150m (492ft), do not benefit from listed status, despite opening in 1864 and 1892 respectively.
Richard Baldwin, a director at Bilfinger GVA, which is selling the piers for Cuerden Leisure, said it would be very unlikely that a new owner would make significant changes.
He said: "In our opinion, the value is in the existing use and this is unlikely to change at either of the Blackpool piers."
A spokesman for the National Piers Society, which promotes the preservation and continued enjoyment of seaside piers in the UK, said: "These piers are all in good order and trading successfully, and, given that Easter is almost upon us, I have no doubt that they will quickly find a buyer or buyers." | Three of the best known piers in England and Wales have been put on the market for a collective price of £12.6m. | 31859078 | [

Several first-team regulars, including captain David Gray, are out of contract this summer.
"In terms of all the players out of contract, they've all been offered deals," Lennon told BBC Scotland.
"The majority of them seem pretty happy with them, there might be one or two want a bit of tweaking here and there."
Hibs secured the Championship on Saturday after beating Queen of the South.
Gray, fellow defenders Darren McGregor, Lewis Stevenson and Liam Fontaine, midfielders Marvin Bartley and Fraser Fyvie, winger Chris Humphrey, forwards Martin Boyle, Grant Holt and James Keatings and goalkeepers Ross Laidlaw and Scott Gallacher are among those coming to the end of their current deals.
"The majority of the players are enjoying what they're doing here and the success that they've had over the last 18 months so I'd be surprised if there was a big exodus," former Celtic and Bolton boss Lennon said on BBC Radio Scotland's Sportsound.
"Maybe one or two might move on for personal reasons but I think for footballing reasons, the majority of them will stay on."
The Easter Road side will face Derek McInnes's Aberdeen in Saturday's Scottish Cup semi-final, with Lennon's predecessor Alan Stubbs having led Hibs to their first Scottish Cup trophy win in 114 years with victory over Rangers in last year's final.
Hibs beat Edinburgh rivals Hearts in a replay earlier in the competition and Lennon added: "We've kept some of our best performances for the cup run so far and now we're back at Hampden.
"It's going to be a big crowd, against a class side, really good manager in charge so we know how difficult it's going to be but the pressure's off as far as we're concerned.
"The only thing the players want to do is defend the trophy as best they can now and if you're going to win it, you have to beat what's put in front of you and the next obstacle's a big one in Aberdeen.
"I've got a good core of the squad who are more than capable of playing in the Premier League. They proved that with the cup runs last year, they made two finals and won one and now we're in a semi-final as well having beaten the biggest rivals very convincingly over two games." | Hibernian head coach Neil Lennon hopes to keep the bulk of his squad together after winning promotion to the Scottish Premiership. | 39624999 | [

Adrian Bayley was sentenced to life imprisonment in 2013 for killing Jill Meagher, an ABC Radio employee.
On Thursday, it was announced he had been found guilty of three more rapes, of a Dutch tourist and two sex workers.
The three trials were the subject of a suppression order to ensure fairness, but this was lifted after a verdict was returned in the third trial.
Bayley was described by a judge in 2013 as a "recidivist sex offender". He was on parole for previous rape convictions when he killed Ms Meagher.
Ms Meagher, originally from County Louth, was attacked in Melbourne in September 2012 as she walked home. Her body was discovered six days later buried on the outskirts of the city.
The new convictions relate to two attacks in 2012 and one in 2000.
All the women came forward after recognising Bayley during the investigation and subsequent court proceedings over the killing of Ms Meagher.
The defence argued that the women had wrongly identified Bayley because of his prominence in the media, but juries in three separate trials disagreed. | An Australian man jailed for the rape and murder of an Irish woman has been convicted of three more rapes. | 32062499 | [

The 4.4-metre-long (14-ft) cloth is on show until 24 June.
Viewings are free but must be booked. One million people have already signed up.
Some devotees believe the shroud is the burial cloth of Jesus Christ. Sceptics point to carbon dating that suggests it is a medieval forgery from the 1300s.
Scientists have not agreed on how the image of a man was imprinted on the cloth.
Turin Shroud: See it in detail
Pope Francis will be among those to view the shroud, during a visit to the northern Italian city on 21 June.
The last public viewings were in 2010, when 2.5 million people came to see it.
The Church has not officially claimed that Christ's body was wrapped in the shroud, preferring instead to focus on what it means to those who see it.
"Whether you believe or don't believe, there is no doubt it is something special," an Italian man who was among the first visitors on Sunday told the AFP news agency.
Earlier this week, Archbishop of Turin Cesare Nosiglia said: "What counts the most is that this shroud... reflects in a clear and precise manner how the gospels describe the passion and death of Jesus.
"It is not a profession of faith because it is not an object of faith, nor of devotion, but it can help faith."
Archbishop Nosiglia said that many of those coming to see the shroud would be returnees.
"That means there is a fundamental need in people's hearts to renew this incredible experience that they had the first time they saw it," he said.
"Even non-believers will come. It's an occasion that brings everybody together."
The shroud is displayed in a climate-controlled case for 12 hours a day in Turin's Cathedral of St John the Baptist. | The Turin Shroud has gone back on public display in the Italian city's cathedral, after a break of five years. | 32368134 | [

"Another terrorist attack in Paris," Mr Trump wrote. "The people of France will not take much more of this. Will have a big effect on presidential election!"
The previous day, during a joint press conference with Italian Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni, Mr Trump had quickly labelled the incident a "terrorist attack" - before even French authorities had done so.
"It's a very, very terrible thing that is going on in the world today," Mr Trump said. "And what can you say? It just never ends. We have to be strong and we have to be vigilant, and I've been saying it for a long time."
That last line is certainly true.
While the dynamics of French politics are decidedly different from those in the US, Mr Trump may recall that another incident in Paris - the November 2015 mass shooting at the Bataclan theatre - helped solidify his lead in the polls leading into the Republican presidential primaries.
"Everyone is now saying how right I was with illegal immigration and the wall," he tweeted several days after the attack two years ago. "After Paris, they're all on the bandwagon."
Mr Trump did not mention her by name, but the president seems to be predicting the Champs-Elysees shooting will be a boost for French nationalist candidate Marine Le Pen, who has campaigned on deporting suspected Islamic militants and a French withdrawal from the European Union.
Although Mr Trump has not formally met the French presidential candidate, she is close to some of the same advisers who helped craft the president's populist message during his campaign last year and was spotted in Trump Tower during the presidential transition in January.
Breitbart News, which was an early supporter of Mr Trump's improbable presidential bid, has also warmly covered Ms Le Pen's efforts.
"A new world is emerging, global equilibriums are being redefined by the fact of Trump's election," Ms Le Pen said the day after Mr Trump's presidential victory. "Their world is crumbling; ours is being built."
While critics may view Mr Trump's Friday morning tweet as an unwelcome effort to influence the politics of another nation, the reality is slightly more complicated than that. Earlier on Thursday former President Barack Obama spoke with another leading French candidate, Emmanuel Macron, who has campaigned in favour of a strong European Union and open borders.
"The main message I have is to wish you all the best in the coming days." Mr Obama said in an edited video of the call that Mr Macron posted on Twitter. "And make sure, as you said, that you work very hard all the way through because you never know, it might be that last day of campaigning that makes all the difference."
"Let's keep defending our progressive values," Mr Macron wrote. "Thank you for this discussion @BarackObama".
In other words, the French election - from an American perspective, at least - could be setting up a proxy battle between the current and former president and their competing views of economic nationalism versus liberal globalism.
A similar dynamic played out during last June's Brexit referendum in the UK, when Mr Obama tacitly endorsed the Remain camp, while Mr Trump heralded the Leave victory as evidence that his nationalist politics were gathering strength.
Now, after two notable defeats for the existing international establishment - in Brexit and Mr Trump's November election - Mr Obama may view Mr Macron as a last, best hope to stem a rising populist tide in the West. Although European Union supporters were heartened by the results in the recent Dutch elections, where nationalist candidate Geert Wilders was defeated, the French vote is a much more significant matter.
Mr Trump and his advisers may view Ms Le Pen as the hand that will deliver a death blow to the European Union and cement his own election as more than a quirk of American politics and, instead, as the harbinger of a new global order.

Scocco, 29, known as "Nacho", arrived on a two-and-a-half year deal in January for £3.2m as one of Gus Poyet's four transfer window signings.
Although Sunderland avoided relegation the one-cap Argentina international failed to score in eight appearances, all of which came from the bench.
The fee has been reported in Argentina to be around £2.1m.
Scocco, who is returning for his third spell at the club having helped Newell's to success in the 2004 Apertura and 2013 Final championships, is expected to be presented to supporters in Rosario on Saturday. | Argentine club Newell's Old Boys have re-signed Sunderland striker Ignacio Scocco on a five-year contract. | 28455948 | [

His aim was to give children in rural areas an access to education. As a member of non-profit organisation e-Education Project, he travelled across the country for the next year.
"I filmed some of the best teachers' classes in big cities, burned them onto DVDs and showed them to students in rural areas," he says.
He chose DVDs because internet connection was hard to come by. In the first year, Doga visited more than 700 students in five schools. The examination results at those schools improved by 46%.
"In developed countries, kids complain about having to do homework, but these Rwandan children were thrilled to be able to learn, which made me happy."
During one of his trips, he noticed piles of food that were in storage. Farmers were too poor to transport them to big cities.
Through United Nations workers whom he met in Rwanda, Mr Makiura decided to facilitate the transport of food between the farmers and hundreds of thousands of refugees who were fleeing the civil war in neighbouring Democratic Republic of Congo.
That was less than two years ago.
Today, he is based in Bangkok where he has started his own company. His passion remains the same: to raise the living standards of people in developing countries.
This time he's doing it through a mobile phone application called Personal Data Bank. The app is still in the early-development stage, but the aim is to build a more efficient infrastructure by analysing the locations of people who are using the app.
Mr Makiura is an atypical Japanese youth. Above all, he is not afraid to take risks. And his global vision and entrepreneurial spirit are exactly what the Japanese government wants to encourage.
Today, Japan has one of the lowest levels of entrepreneurship in the developed world, according to the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor.
There are a number of obstacles.
Japan has long lacked venture capitalists who tend to invest in start-ups elsewhere in the world. And approaching banks for financing help, is a big challenge for entrepreneurs.
"I asked for funding through traditional financial institutions but they wanted to see balance sheets which we don't have," says Naoki Mita, who left his banking job to open detox spa Le Furo.
Mr Mita approached Mr Makiura and asked for him to be an adviser to the spa venture. And together, they managed to secure funding from investors abroad. But Mr Mita believes not many entrepreneurs would even consider raising money overseas.
"Thanks to my experience as an investment banker I could look outside Japan, but at home the gap between demand and supply in the capital market is severe," he says.
But the fundamental problem lies deeper in people's perspectives.
In a society that appreciates a conformist attitude, not following the usual path of becoming a salaryman - a company employee - is seen as too risky or even reckless.
The former boss of the once high-flying internet firm, Livedoor, Takafumi Horie challenged that view in the 1990s. Instead of graduating from elite Tokyo University and looking for a job, he dropped out and started his own firm.
"I couldn't care less about what people thought of me," he tells the BBC.
"I had no desire to become a salaryman or wear a suit," adds Mr Horie, who stood out in the conservative world of corporate Japan by wearing T-shirts to business meetings.
Under his leadership, Livedoor grew rapidly. He also made headlines by trying to buy a baseball team and running in a parliamentary election.
But in 2006, Mr Horie was charged with securities fraud and imprisoned for 21 months before he was released on parole. He has maintained his innocence and accused the prosecution of targeting him for his brash, unconventional entrepreneurship.
His arrest became known as the "Horie shock" and regardless of their beliefs about his guilt, other entrepreneurs from then on kept a low profile.
The support for start-ups that Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has announced is a turning point in people's perspectives.
Today, there are more venture capital companies to help start-ups. The number of entrepreneurs is on the rise.
"What's lacking now is the true venture capitalist spirit - not just injecting capital but mentoring and helping the next generation grow," says special advisor to the Cabinet Office William Saito, adding that the government is trying to encourage that.
But Mr Makiura says many of his peers are still trying to get a job with big listed companies.
He says he is who he is today because when he was just 13, he decided to leave the comfort of home to study in the UK. He wanted to see the world outside Japan.
Mr Horie says the whole education system needs to change, because at the moment, it is only producing loyal soldiers who are good at following orders.
Half a century ago, Japan did produce a number of great entrepreneurs. They were the founders of Toyota, Sony and Honda who were unafraid to try something different.
But as the economy grew, Mr Saito says, the Japanese society became unforgiving towards failures, and this needs to change.
People like Mr Makiura are still too rare.
But Japanese youths who are unafraid to take risks may be the best way to jump start the Japanese economy. | In September 2012, 18-year-old Doga Makiura made his first trip to Rwanda, a country which many Japanese would only associate with the genocide in 1994. | 32111959 | [

Fourth seed Muguruza went into the match having won only three times on clay this season, but she cruised through the first set.
Italian Schiavone, 36, won three games in a row to lead the second set but Muguruza fought back to win.
Muguruza will face Estonia's Anett Kontaveit in the second round.
"I cannot believe in the first round we have two ex-champions. Not only that but Francesca is a legend and I was very excited to play on Philippe Chatrier court with her," said Muguruza.
Muguruza defeated Serena Williams to win her maiden Grand Slam title a year ago, but the 23-year-old needs to return to the final to stay in the world's top 10.
"I know I played good here before, but that doesn't make me extra confident this year. I have to play well to earn that confidence again," she said.
Schiavone, who is 37 in June, played in the tournament for the final time before her retirement at the end of the year.
Caroline Wozniacki had to fight hard to beat Australian Jaimee Fourlis 6-4 3-6 6-2.
Wildcard Fourlis, aged 17 and at 337 the lowest-ranked player in the main draw, pushed the 11th seeded Dane in the second set.
But Wozniacki, who had to retire during last week's Strasbourg tournament because of a lower-back injury, regained control in the deciding set. | Spain's Garbine Muguruza started the defence of her French Open title by beating 2010 champion Francesca Schiavone 6-2 6-4. | 40083439 | [

They want Ofcom to wait until a decision is made about their plan to merge the two mobile companies.
BT and EE are also planning to merge.
The spectrum, formerly used by the Ministry of Defence, would provide 4G services for mobile companies.
The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has provisionally approved the proposed merger between BT and EE.
But the European Commission has announced its decision to launch an in-depth investigation into the proposed merger between O2 and Three.
And Ofcom has previously cast doubt on this merger winning regulatory approval.
In a statement on Thursday, Ofcom said it had received letters from Telefonica and Hutchison stating their intention to bring legal action against the regulator over its decision to begin the auction before the outcome of the European Commission's findings.
"After careful consideration, given these specific circumstances, we have decided for reasons of good public administration to delay commencing the auction process," it said.
Legal action also held up the previous 4G auction - as mobile companies disagreed about how spectrum should be distributed.
Ofcom had been due to start accepting applications for the spectrum this month, with plans for the auction to take place in February or March.
Now, it looks unlikely to begin before the summer - with the European Commission's judgement on the O2-Three merge expected in May.
The spectrum on offer could add capacity to 4G networks, but it is considerably smaller than the previous chunk of 4G spectrum.
It has a reserve price of £70m, compared with £1.3bn for the previous portion of the airwaves.
Matthew Howett, an analyst with research company Ovum, said: While Ofcom doesn't have spectacular form when it comes to awarding spectrum on time, in this instance it probably makes sense to delay things.
"Should the merger between Three and O2 be approved, then remedies around spectrum holdings will almost certainly take time to work out and any future spectrum award would need to be reconsidered accordingly.
"However, if the... merger is blocked, then the spectrum award can go ahead fairly quickly without change."
Mr Howett said the impact on consumers would be minimal.
"Despite demand for mobile data growing, all mobile operators are fairly well served by their current spectrum holdings and will be for the short to medium term, so while a delay is unfortunate, it shouldn't be too problematic," he said. | Ofcom is to delay the start of its auction for another chunk of 4G spectrum, after threats of legal action from Telefonica and Hutchison, parent companies of O2 and Three. | 34994852 | [

John Terry's measured side-foot shot gave the Blues the lead after the hosts failed to clear their lines when Mata's free-kick hit the outside of the post.
Daniel Sturridge's sublime backheel finish when running through one on one with keeper Simon Mignolet made it 2-0.
Ji Dong-Won slotted home in injury time to give the Black Cats a glimmer of hope but Chelsea held on.
It was a nervy final few seconds but even the most diehard Sunderland supporter would have struggled to argue a draw would have been a fair result.

Sturridge's outrageous effort when confronted by the onrushing Mignolet was the stand-out moment in an impressive Blues performance, but Mata's influence was the key to their victory.
The Spaniard was the creative hub of everything the Blues did, demanding the ball at every opportunity and giving a dazzling display, full of one-touch football, neat passes and crucially, a telling final ball.
Blues boss Andre Villas-Boas has openly talked of the need to inject more pace and creativity and Mata granted his wish, playing with urgency and sparking off all that was good about the visitors as they secured a third win in four league games.
Deadline-day signing Raul Meireles was as influential as his fellow midfielder, setting up Sturridge's goal with a fine long pass, but it was Mata who caught the eye.
Chelsea and Mata started brightly but Sunderland striker Nicklas Bendtner had the first chance of the game only to glance his header wide from a teasing Sebastian Larsson free-kick.
Chelsea have for so many years been Drogba and Lampard-based and there is a subtle style change going on behind the scenes. They weren't at their best but it was the best they have played this season and they didn't need to get out of third gear because Sunderland were poor
Apart from that effort - and a Stephane Sessegnon strike that was beaten away by the returning Petr Cech late in the half - Chelsea dominated the first period.
Nicholas Anelka smashed a shot wide after a swift break and also tested Mignolet with a fierce shot, while Ramires curled a shot wide after a powerful surge.
But it was defender Terry who opened the scoring, coolly finishing at the second attempt from Sturridge's excellent cross as Chelsea kept the pressure on after Mata's strike hit the woodwork.
Any hopes of a Sunderland revival seemed over as Sturridge, preferred up front to £50m man Fernando Torres, made it 2-0 six minutes after break.
The game petered out somewhat after that, although substitute Florent Malouda and Anelka both had chances to extend the lead.
Sunderland lacked pace up front and could have done with a nippy forward like the departing Asamoah Gyan to partner Bendtner.

The Dane typified the home side, showing plenty of endeavour but they looked powerless to prevent a second consecutive home defeat as Chelsea went on to record their 13th win in 14 games against the Black Cats despite Dong-Won's last-gasp effort.
Sunderland manager Steve Bruce:
"It was very difficult against a very good Chelsea team. They had terrific possession of the ball and we spent that much energy trying to get it back. They were excellent in possession of the ball. We will play against lesser teams than that thankfully.
"When we had it, we gave it away too cheaply and that made for a very difficult afternoon.
"But for all their possession both their goals were poor from our point of view."
Chelsea manager Andre-Villas Boas:
"It went very well for us in terms of what we want to achieve, not that we haven't tried to do it before, but it just didn't happen in the other three games.

"Fortunately, we were able to play the passing game that relates more to how we train, and the team played very, very well. I am very happy with the display.
"The 2-1, of course, is avoidable and that brought an edge to the last three minutes, but we can only say that Chelsea deserved to win and we were very consistent in the first and second halves.
"I am very happy with the efforts of everybody."

Tall, poised and elegant, French Finance Minister Christine Lagarde has been described as having a rock-star appeal on the international political circuit.
By contrast, Mexico's central bank governor Agustin Carstens, is known for his rotund figure, which is often portrayed in Mexican political cartoons.
But Mr Carstens, 53, is by no means a joke candidate in the race to lead the IMF.
His economic credentials cannot be doubted.
He graduated with an economics degree from the Autonomous Technological Institute of Mexico, before collecting both a master's and PhD in economics from the University of Chicago, where deregulation and "laissez-faire" economics were the dominant views.
It was there that Mr Carstens, a former Little League baseball star, became a fan of the Chicago Cubs team.
It was also in Chicago that Mr Carstens met his wife, economist and author Catherine Mansell, who writes under the pen name CM Mayo.
After obtaining his doctorate in 1985, Mr Carstens returned to Mexico where he joined the central bank and rose through the ranks, his roles including chief of staff in the governor's office and director general of economic research.
While at the bank, he gained first-hand experience of dealing with financial crises, including Mexico's debt problems in the 1980s and the peso's crash in 1994 - experience which his supporters say make him the ideal candidate for the IMF.
He left the bank in 1999 to work as an executive director at the IMF, but returned to Mexico in 2000, serving as deputy finance minister under President Vicente Fox, marking his first ties with the conservative National Action Party.
In 2003, he rejoined the IMF as deputy managing director, where he was held in high regard.
When he left the role in 2006, again to return to front-line Mexican politics, Rodrigo de Rato, the IMF President at the time, described him as "a superb ambassador for the fund, who carried high credibility with policymakers".
Serving as finance minister for three years under President Felipe Calderon, Mr Carstens was responsible for pushing through new taxes to bolster Mexico's revenues.
But his biggest gaffe came in early 2009 when a reporter asked him if the economic troubles in the US would affect Mexico.
The reporter reminded him of the saying that when the US catches a cold, Mexico usually catches pneumonia.
Mexico's economy was in good health at the time and Mr Carstens replied the country would only get "the sniffles".
In fact, Mexico's economic output fell by 6.5% that year.
Nevertheless, sniffles aside, President Calderon nominated Mr Carstens to be the next head of the Bank of Mexico, a post he has held for the past year and a half.
But his pledge to work closely with the government raised questions about the bank's independence.
"Being autonomous on monetary policy does not mean you have to be isolated from the national economic debate," he said at his confirmation hearing.
Mr Carstens himself acknowledges Ms Lagarde is the favourite to replace Dominique Strauss-Kahn at the IMF.
"I'm not fooling myself. It's like starting a soccer game with a 5-0 score," he said on Monday.
He says he would bring "a fresh pair of eyes" to the role.
A European, he says, could face a conflict of interest, given the continuing debt crisis in some eurozone countries, while he can appreciate what emerging markets can contribute to the IMF.
But the fact he is from the Americas could work against him.
Robert Zoellick, from the US, currently heads the World Bank and some countries may not be keen to see the two global institutions led by officials from the same part of the world.
Traditionally, an American has headed the World Bank while a European has been in charge of the IMF.
And while Mr Carstens has the support of most of Latin America, Brazil - the region's largest economy - has yet to say whom it will back.
For Mr Carstens to be successful, he would almost certainly need Brazil to back him. | The two candidates competing to be the next managing director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) could not be more different in their appearance. | 13761137 | [

Sri Lanka made 248-9 after half-centuries from Kusal Mendis (53), Dinesh Chandimal (62) and captain Angelo Mathews (56), as Liam Plunkett took 3-46.
Rain delayed the start of the run chase and England were 16-1 as the weather forced the abandonment at 17:30 BST.
England lead the five-match series 1-0.
Alex Hales, who scored 133 not out in the second ODI, was out for a golden duck to the third ball of the run chase, leaving fellow opener Jason Roy and Joe Root at the crease when play ended.
Plunkett took control at Bristol with the key wickets of Kusal Perera, Mendis and Seekkuge Prasanna after David Willey had removed Danushka Gunathilaka in the first over.
Chandimal top scored for the visitors and held partnerships of 56 and 80 with Mendis and Mathews respectively.
Chris Woakes (3-34) helped stifle Sri Lanka's innings towards the end, and finished with wickets in successive 49th-over deliveries.
The next ODI takes place at The Oval on Wednesday.
Plunkett appears to be getting into his groove against the Sri Lankans, having only returned to ODI cricket in June 2015 after more than four years out.
The Yorkshire bowler has seven wickets so far in the series, although the highlight to date came with the bat when he smashed a six off the final ball of the opener at Trent Bridge to earn England a tie.
At Bristol, Plunkett showed his ability across spells, dismissing Perera in his first over, before accounting for half-centurion Mendis just when Sri Lanka looked set for a productive recovery.
He followed it up by removing the dangerous Prasanna for two in his third spell, leaving Woakes the task of helping to mop up the tail.
Plunkett's wickets took his ODI tally to 52, and ensured Sri Lanka could not mount a serious challenge with the bat.
The visitors, already reeling from Friday's 10-wicket defeat, were dealt an injury blow on Sunday when Lahiru Thirimanne was being flown back home with a lower back strain and replaced by Niroshan Dikwella.
Captain Mathews and vice-captain Chandimal are also nursing hamstring niggles but played on.
And Farveez Maharoof batted with a fractured finger on his left hand, becoming one of Woakes' victims late on.
Overall, it paints a worrying picture for Sri Lanka, who are yet to win a game on their England tour, though Mathews and Chandimal making half-centuries would have been a positive.
England captain Eoin Morgan on Sky Sports: "We're building a lot of momentum towards where we want to be. We are being harsh on ourselves and want to be the best.
"I think the bowlers have coped well so far. I haven't felt light, and it is very useful to have Joe Root as well. He is more than a part-time bowler.
"I thought our disciplines were a lot better today and reducing them to 248 was a good achievement."
England bowler Liam Plunkett told BBC Sport: "We felt like we bowled well and kept them to a gettable target so we are disappointed we didn't finish the game off because we were in a strong position. But we go to The Oval with spirits high.
"I feel in a good place, I'm confident in all aspects and if I get the nod in Test cricket I'll back myself to do well.
"I just enjoy it now, to have a chance to win a game for England is what every kid wants and I think it took me a while to realise that you can actually do that. When I was younger, I was pleased to make up the numbers but now I want to be the match winner." | England and Sri Lanka were thwarted in the third one-day international at Bristol as rain allowed just four overs of the hosts' run chase. | 36633394 | [

Debra Milke was freed in September 2013 after a record of misconduct by a key detective in the case emerged.
The case against Ms Milke rested largely on a purported confession to that detective.
An appeals court in Arizona ruled on Thursday that the she could not be tried again in relation to the killing.
Prosecutors had pushed for a retrial but a panel of three judges said such a move would amount to double jeopardy.
The two men who carried out the killing remain on death row.
Debra Milke, then a 25-year-old insurance company clerk, was accused of dressing her son in his favourite outfit and telling him he was going to see Santa Claus at a local mall.
Four-year-old Christoper Milke was then taken by two men to a desert area north of Phoenix where he was shot three times in the head.
The original trial in 1990 found Ms Milke guilty of arranging the killing, based largely on an alleged confession made to Detective Armando Saldate.
However, Mr Saldate did not record the confession and has since been implicated in several cases of misconduct including lying under oath.
An appeals court ruled last year that prosecutors had known about Mr Saldate's misconduct but failed to disclose the information.
"Non-disclosure of this magnitude calls into question the integrity of the system and was highly prejudicial to Milke," the court said.
Mr Saldate said he feared potential charges if he testified again, and in December a judge granted his request not to give evidence at any retrial.
The court said on Thursday that it wasn't expressing an opinion on Milke's guilt or innocence but merely on the validity of a retrial.
Ms Milke's ex-husband, Arizona Milke, remained convinced of her guilt.
"She shouldn't walk free, because she's guilty," he told the Associated Press.
Lawyers for Ms Milke said they were "thrilled" at the decision not to allow a retrial. However, prosecutors can still appeal to the state's Supreme Court. | Charges have been dropped against a US woman who spent more than two decades on death row after being convicted of arranging her son's 1989 killing. | 30443351 | [

The YouGov poll for The Times suggests that in the final round of voting, Mr Corbyn would get 53% of support, six points ahead of Andy Burnham.
Shadow minister Tristram Hunt warned a Corbyn victory could reduce Labour to the status of a pressure group.
Yvette Cooper and Liz Kendall are the other candidates for the leadership.
The YouGov poll suggests Mr Corbyn is the first preference for 43% of party supporters, ahead of Andy Burnham on 26%, Yvette Cooper on 20% and Liz Kendall on 11%.
Taking second preferences into account the poll, of 1,054 people eligible to vote in the contest and carried out between Friday and Tuesday, pointed to a 6% Corbyn victory. | Tony Blair is to make a rare speech to Labour activists as turmoil grows after a poll suggested left-winger Jeremy Corbyn was ahead in the leader contest. | 33619645 | [

The foster parents say "no discussions" took place between them and the council prior to the children's removal.
The children - who are European migrants - were removed by social workers who accused the unnamed couple of belonging to a "racist party".
Council leader Roger Stone said it was launching an immediate investigation.
The BBC understands that the three children are all under 10 and one is a baby.
The education secretary said the "wrong decision" was made "in the wrong way for the wrong reasons".
By Alan SoadyPolitical correspondent, BBC News
There's been an outbreak of agreement from the main parties on the principle that being a member of a political organisation such as UKIP should not prevent someone from being considered as a foster parent. Michael Gove called it "indefensible". Ed Miliband said it should "not be a bar", distancing himself from the decision made by Labour-run Rotherham Borough Council.
The investigation announced by the government and the council inquiry will seek to establish the circumstances of this particular case.
But, politically, it will be interesting to see whether it has any bearing on political campaigning in the run up to Thursday's Parliamentary by-election in Rotherham.
He added that the Department for Education, under his leadership, would "ask the necessary questions" to determine what happened in this case.
Officials from the department are understood to be trying to make contact with children's services counterparts at Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council.
Mr Gove told the BBC: "It is entirely wrong for this couple to have been treated in this way. That's why I believe we need a full explanation from the local authority as to why this decision was allowed to be taken.
"If we say you cannot foster children because you're a member of a mainstream political party or because you have views on multiculturalism then that's utterly wrong.
"This decision is arbitrary, ideological and indefensible."
The education secretary added that the government was bringing forward new laws in the Children and Families' Bill to reverse the current position, which takes into account ethnic and cultural factors when placing children for adoption.
"We want to make it clear that you should not allow ideological matters to preclude what's in the best interest of the child."
Rotherham councillor Paul Lakin, cabinet member for children, young people and families Services has ordered an immediate investigation.
He said: "Membership of a political party should not stop someone fostering children. The council takes its safeguarding responsibilities very seriously and always puts the needs of the children at the centre of that care."
Mr Lakin added he wanted the report on his desk by Monday morning.
Meanwhile, the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) said that the decision may have breached the parents' right to freedom of political opinion. It welcomed the council's decision to investigate what had happened.
The council's strategic director of children and young people's services, Joyce Thacker, earlier defended the decision, saying it was influenced by UKIP's immigration policy.
She said: "I have legal advice I have to follow for the placement of children and I was criticised before for not making sure their cultural and ethnic needs were met.
"If the party mantra is, for example, ending the active promotion of multiculturalism I have to think about that... I have to think of their longer-term needs.
Ms Thacker added she did not think UKIP was a racist party, but said it had "very clear" immigration policies which she could not ignore.
SOURCE: UKIP website
The unnamed couple in their late 50s, who have been approved foster parents for seven years, were eight weeks into the placement when they were approached by social workers about their membership of the party.
The BBC's Robin Brant reports that UKIP sources say the couple have been members of the party for "over three years" and that Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council was "tipped off" about their membership.
And the couple first knew there were problems around their continued fostering on 14 November.
The wife told the BBC she believed the decision had been taken "prior to the social worker visiting us in person to tell us that the children were being removed because we were UKIP members".
She insisted they felt they were meeting the cultural needs of the three children.
"We were actively encouraging these children to speak their own language... we enjoyed singing one of their folk songs in their native language.
"Having been told of the religious denomination of these children - we took steps to ensure that a school of their denomination was found.
"The children have now been placed with families who are white British, therefore how are these people going to meet the cultural needs of the children?" she added.
UKIP's immigration policy states the party wants an "end [to] the active promotion of the doctrine of multiculturalism by local and national government", and urges Britain to leave the European Union (EU).
The party's leader, Nigel Farage, said he was "very upset and very angry" about the decision and called for "heads to roll" at the council.
He added: "This couple... have been fostering for many years and are very decent people. This was an awful shock to them, not to mention the upset for the children themselves."
He also accused the Labour-controlled council of bigotry towards his party.
Earlier, Labour leader Ed Miliband called for the council to urgently investigate the circumstances of the case.
He insisted: "Being a member of UKIP should not be a bar to adopting or fostering children.
"We need to find out the facts and the council urgently needs to get to the bottom of exactly what happened.
"There are thousands of children who need to be looked after, who need fostering, we shouldn't have the situation where membership of a party like UKIP excludes you from doing that."
Robert Tapsfield, chief executive of the Fostering Network, said the decision seemed "very strange" considering the council viewed the couple as providing a good standard of care.
He said the placement of foster children should not be influenced by their political affiliations. | Michael Gove has branded a decision by Rotherham council to remove three children from a foster couple because they belong to UKIP as "indefensible". | 20476654 | [

The 21-year-old moved to the Reds in 2014 after being let go by Watford, where he had progressed through the youth system.
He made 82 appearances for Crawley during his three seasons at the club but failed to score a goal.
"Bobson has attributes that suit the way we want to play," manager Anthony Limbrick told the club's website.

It is the classic Yorkshire Dales landscape. But all is not right here.
There is one other famous feature of this countryside and they keep disappearing. Sheep rustling is the problem and efforts are being stepped up to tackle it.
On the southern flank of the dale, David Dinsdale calls instructions to his border collie Tom to round up his flock of mule gimmers - young ewes. For miles around, the white dots of other flocks can be seen against a green backdrop.
The purpose of gathering the sheep in is to teach police officers how to spot a stolen animal. Mr Dinsdale has farmed here all his life and remembers a time when there were more police living locally.
He said: "There was the main station at Leyburn. There was a policeman in Bainbridge and another at Hawes.
"We'd see our nearest once a week but now we very rarely see a policeman ride up this back road.
"It's easier for people to get into the area and get stock away."
Improvements in communication technology, along with roads in the area, mean the days of the village bobby here are long gone.
That modernisation thought has also brought hi-tech gadgetry with it.
Mr Dinsdale expertly grabs one of his sheep and shows PC John Wilbor the ear tag on the animal . This has a microchip inside and when scanned with a wand, with which officers are being issued, it indicates the number of the flock it comes from.
If police stop a suspicious vehicle, the animals in the trailer can be identified immediately.
Of course, thieves are not stupid and these tags can be quickly removed - so there is also a far more traditional, low-tech means to enable identification.
Mr Dinsdale shows PC Wilbor the Shepherds' Guide - an extraordinary 450 page book which lists the unique markings of every flock in northern England. From fleece markings to horn burns - every flock is distinct.
"If the police know what they're looking for, they have a much better chance of apprehending those responsible," says Mr Dinsdale.
According to insurer NFU Mutual, claims for stolen livestock totalled £6.6m in 2014.
The firm said that equates to the disappearance of 89,000 sheep.
They are all believed to have been slaughtered and the meat then sold in to the food chain.
Officers believe the trail of stolen animals leads to the big northern conurbations about an hour's drive from the dales.
They are working with other organisations to try to track the animals but most sheep are rustled from remote pastures where no-one can see what is happening.
They also only take a few at a time meaning the thefts are not spotted until the sheep are counted - which can be weeks after the crime has been committed.
But, armed with the new and old technology and better training police officers in this part of the country will now be able to stop suspicious vehicles and quickly establish if animals are stolen. | Wensleydale in North Yorkshire - a patchwork of green pastures divided by dry stone walls rising to meet moorland, where the heather is bright purple at this time of year. | 34062929 | [

ITV's The Only Way is Essex (Towie) has been "largely positive" for Brentwood, where it is set, but "everything has a shelf-life", the council leader said.
Lisa Bone, of Visit Essex, added: "If its bubble bursts we could be left with stereotypes, not economic benefits".
A meeting is being held on Tuesday to discuss the town's "sustainability".
The show Towie, now in its 11th series, features ordinary people appearing in modified situations based on their actual lives.
Many run their own businesses in Brentwood, including shops, salons and nightclubs, which feature in the programme.
"Towie won't always be around and while it brings in a lot of tourism it has also given the town a certain stereotype, perception and image," Ms Bone said.
"Brentwood is full of beautiful historic buildings and family-friendly parks and we need to ensure we emphasise those, making the town attractive to everyone and ensuring its sustainability."
Borough council leader Louise McKinlay, said: "The popularity of the show has been very good for the town centre, retailers and the tourism trade, bringing so many people in to the area.
"Whether we like it or not, Towie has put Brentwood on the map. Yes, there's a lot about tans and nails in Towie, but there's also a great entrepreneurial spirit and that's evident everywhere in the town.
"I'd like to say that the only thing that's orange in Brentwood is our recycling bags."
Businesses in the town are being asked to consider Brentwood's "unique selling point and future branding" at Tuesday's meeting hosted by the council and Visit Essex. | An Essex town buoyed by the popularity of a reality television show needs to plan for when the "bubble bursts", businesses have been told. | 26870299 | [

The Team Sky rider, 31, was part of a group that finished two seconds behind Movistar stage winner Jesus Herrada.
Spaniard Herrada made a decisive break, accelerating up the final climb for victory at Chalmazel-Jeansagniere.
Spain's Alberto Contador is the overall leader, six seconds ahead of Richie Porte, having won Sunday's time trial.
Contador, a two-time Tour de France winner, is yet to win the eight-stage, week-long Dauphine, but has twice finished second - in 2010 and 2014.
Froome, also a two-time Tour winner, is 13 seconds off Tinkoff rider Contador heading into Wednesday's hilly third stage from Boen-sur-Lignon to Tournon-sur-Rhone.
The Kenya-born rider was not named by British Cycling on Tuesday in a list of athletes who will compete for the British Championships later this month, with team-mate Geraint Thomas also absent.
Froome will instead focus on the Tour de France, which begins on 2 July, ahead of his bid for Olympic gold in the road race in Rio in August.
Criterium du Dauphine stage two result:
1. Jesus Herrada (Spa/Movistar) 4hrs 13mins 43secs
2. Tony Gallopin (Fra/Lotto) +2secs

Mr Abbott has said more Syrian asylum seekers would be let in but has stopped short of boosting overall refugee numbers.
But members of his own party, including several state premiers, have called for more to be done for refugees.
Assistant Treasurer Josh Frydenberg on Monday called for temporary housing of Syrian and Iraqi asylum seekers.
Mr Frydenberg said there was a good case for a Kosovo-type solution that would see Syrian and Iraqi refugees housed in Australia, then returned home once the countries were safe.
The Federal Opposition on Monday called for 10,000 additional places for refugees from the Middle East, with priority to be given to those from conflicts in Syria and Iraq.
Opposition Labor leader Bill Shorten also said the government should spend an extra $A100m ($69m; £45.6m) on aid for refugees.
The Liberal Premier of Australia's most populous state, New South Wales, Mike Baird, on Saturday challenged Mr Abbott to do more than just stopping refugees making their way to Australia by boat.
Reacting to a photo of a Syrian child refugee recently found drowned on a Turkish beach, Mr Baird said he felt "sick with overwhelming sorrow" about the situation.
Mr Baird, a close colleague of Mr Abbott's, said it was a great thing that Australia was no longer seeing children drowning at sea after trying to get to Australia by boat with their families.
"But stopping the boats can't be where this ends ... I believe we should do even more. And we should do it now," he said, adding that he would talk to the Federal government about what could be done.
Australia detains any migrants trying to reach its shores by boat, and takes them to offshore processing centres to be resettled elsewhere.
Last week, the New York Times described the policy as "brutal".
The lightly-populated island state of Tasmania has also said it would accept an extra 500 refugees, with Liberal Premier Will Hodgman declaring "our door's open".
Australia has accepted about 4,500 people fleeing Syria's conflict, under its current commitment of 13,750 refugees for 2015.
Mr Abbott has claimed Australia is "already the most generous country in the world on a per capita basis when it comes to dealing with refugees through the UNHCR".
Several organisations have challenged that claim.
During a press conference on Sunday, the Prime Minister spoke of how horrified he was by the image of the drowned Syrian boy.
"No parent could fail to be moved by what we saw," he said.
"I have asked the Immigration Minister Peter Dutton to go urgently to Geneva to talk to the UN High Commissioner for Refugees on what more Australia can do to assist on the migration crisis that is being driven by the problems in the Middle East," he said. | Australia's Prime Minister Tony Abbott is under pressure to increase the country's total refugee intake. | 34171019 | [

Chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) patients are often required to take tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) indefinitely.
But 93% of those in a new study stayed cancer-free after stopping or reducing treatment.
Cancer Research UK said the results were "promising" but dosages should not be changed without a doctor's advice.
In 2000, trials of TKIs proved successful in controlling the rare disease, but also had side-effects, including an increased risk of infection, skin rashes, nausea, hair loss and in some cases hormone disorder and a build of fluid around the heart.
The follow-up study, led by the University of Liverpool and involving consultants from Newcastle's Freeman Hospital, saw patients being given half the standard dose for the first 12 months. If leukaemia levels remained low, the drug was then stopped completely.
So far, out of 174 patients tested, 93% have shown no evidence of their leukaemia relapsing one year after reducing their dosage and many reported a significant decrease in side-effects within the first three months.

Dr Wendy Osborne, who is leading the Destiny study in Newcastle, said: 'We've gone from having patients with a potentially incurable disease and requiring toxic chemotherapy and transplantation, to now selecting some patients, again in a clinical trial setting, to stop the drug completely to remove any side-effects they have.
"This in itself is moving towards saying we've cured some patients and this is all because of research."

The scenery ranges from white sandy beaches with an abundance of marine life to dense jungle. Palau favours sustainable tourism, which along with foreign aid is the mainstay of its economy.
Palau became independent in 1994, after being part of a United Nations trust territory administered by the US for 47 years.
It relies on financial aid from the US, provided under a Compact of Free Association which gives the US responsibility for Palau's defence and the right to maintain military bases there. Direct aid was set to wind up in 2009, but the US agreed to an additional package of $250 million in January 2010.
Tourism is low key, although growing in economic importance. Many visitors come from Taiwan, with which Palau has diplomatic ties. Taiwanese aid boosts the economy. The government is Palau's largest employer.
Monoliths and other relics are reminders of an ancient culture that thrived on the islands, and despite Western trappings many Palauans identify strongly with their traditions and rites.
Palau's recent history has been dominated by outside influences from Spain, Britain, Germany, Japan and the US. Palau saw some of the region's fiercest fighting in World War II.
There is concern that the low-lying islands could be badly affected by rising sea levels possibly due to climate change.
Population 20,600

President: Tommy Remengesau
Tommy Remengesau was sworn in for a fourth non-consecutive term as president in January 2017, after beating his brother-in-law Surangel Whipps Jr in a closely fought election.
He described the 2016 election race as one of the toughest ever on both a political and personal level.
He has said that his vision for Palau is to achieve a sustainable future for the country by balancing growth, development and the protection of the Palau's environmental and cultural assets.
The law provides for a free press, and there are no reports of official curbs on internet access.
The senate has twice tried to ban foreign ownership of media. In 2012, a clause to this effect was included in a new telecommunications bill. It was put on hold amid international criticism.
Some key events in Palau's history:
circa 2500 BC - Palau's first inhabitants - thought to have come from present-day eastern Indonesia - settle in the islands. The early Palauans develop complex social systems, practice fishing and farming.
1783 - English captain Henry Wilson is shipwrecked on a reef and becomes the first Westerner to visit.
1885 - Spain asserts its claim to the islands.
1899 - Spain sells Palau to Germany, which begins to exploit the islands' resources using native labour. Phosphate is mined and coconut plantations are developed.
1914 - After Germany's defeat in World War I, Japan seizes Palau.
1947 - Palau becomes a United Nations Trust Territory under US administration.
1981 - Republic of Palau comes into being, following the territory's adoption of a constitution in July
1980. President Haruo Remeliik takes office.
1994 - Palau becomes independent under the Compact of Free Association with the US. Palau receives financial and other aid from Washington, and the US retains responsibility for defence and the right to operate military bases. Palau joins the UN. | More than 200 volcanic and coral islands, many of them surrounded by a single barrier reef, make up the northern Pacific nation of Palau. | 15446659 | [

Against a competitive field including four-time Olympian Jo Pavey, Isle of Wight-born Andrews beat her personal best by 83 seconds on Saturday.
The 23-year-old, who now lives and trains in Andorra, had previously run shorter distances and cross-country.
"I've got three months until Rio, so for now I'm just taking everything in," she told BBC South Today.
"The reaction has been incredible. I've had tweets and social media messages from people back home including old teachers and family friends."
Andrews, from Shanklin, is engaged to Irish road cyclist and Olympic contender Dan Martin.
Media playback is not supported on this device
A former Aldershot & Farnham District club member, she teamed up with a new coach a year ago after choosing to relocate to Andorra with Martin.
Eventually she decided to train for the 10,000m and her win at Parliament Hill, 17 seconds inside the GB qualification time, came in only her second track event at the distance.
"I've not really been telling people what I've been up to while living here," Andrews added. "I haven't been racing on the British scene recently, so that's why it's come as quite a shock.
"I'll allow myself some time to take it a bit easy and then I'll sit down in the next week with my coach," she added.
"We'll start to plan the build-up, the training and the races I'll compete in before Rio." | Distance runner Jess Andrews admits she "still can't believe" she has qualified for the 10,000m at the Rio Olympics. | 36367581 | [

He said Mrs May must remember she is the PM of all parts of the UK.
Lord Alderdice was speaking in the House of Lords as peers considered the government's Brexit bill.
He was speaking in support of an amendment that insists that no hard border is put in place between NI and the Republic of Ireland after Brexit.
The amendment proposed by former Northern Ireland Secretary Lord Hain stated that an open border must continue in line with the provisions of the 1998 Belfast Agreement.
After hearing government assurances during the debate, Lord Hain later withdrew his amendment.
Lord Hain, who was Northern Ireland secretary of state from 2005 until 2007, said: "If we get this wrong, for the UK, it may be perilous. For Northern Ireland it could be politically lethal."
Lord Alderdice, a Liberal Democrat peer who voted Remain in last year's referendum, said that Mrs May must not view the issue of the border as if she was still home secretary.
He added that it was his fear that the government was looking at this with "the approach of the Home Office".
He also called on Mrs May to approach the issue of the border with "imagination" and "political creativity".
In response, Lord Trimble, the former Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) leader who sits on the Conservative benches, rejected the amendment supported by Lord Alderdice and Lord Hain.
Lord Trimble told peers he did not believe the amendment was necessary.
He said: "The amendment is asking the Prime Minster to support the maintenance of the open border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
"The Prime Minister does that as of now. It is in the White Paper. It is not necessary."
Former Conservative minister, Lord Howell, supported Lord Trimble's position on the amendment.
Former UUP leader, Lord Empey, said the amendment was "misplaced".
He told his fellow peers that he agreed totally with "an open free border".
However, he called on the government to give an assurance that "there will be no internal border in the UK".
Baroness O'Loan told a packed chamber that she opposed the amendment.
She said it would not "benefit the UK" and that the issue of the border should be "dealt with in the negotiations".
Lord Kilclooney, the former Ulster Unionist MP, also opposed the amendment and told the house that the "southern Irish were petrified about Brexit".
Earlier, Lord Hain said Brexit could cause "profound damage" to the peace process and warned that a return to checkpoints along the border would sew division and discontent.
Responding for the government, Lord Dunlop said there was no need for Lord Hain's amendment.
He said the "government's intentions are clear" and that no undertaking was "necessary".
The peer, who represents the Northern Ireland Office, added that maintaining the Common Travel Area with the Republic of Ireland "will be a priority".
He said the government is seeking "practical solutions" to achieve as "frictionless a border as possible".
At the end of the debate, Lord Hain withdrew his amendment.
His move came as peers began the detailed committee stage debate on the European Union Notification of Withdrawal Bill.
The legislation has already cleared the Commons without amendment. | The former Alliance leader Lord Alderdice has said Theresa May must not view herself as being "Prime Minister of England and a few add on bits". | 39109906 | [

Tutton, 19, claimed bronze in the 100m women's breaststroke race won by world record holder Ruta Meilutyte.
"That race was amazing," Tutton told BBC Sport. "I'm just over the moon."
Meilutyte triumphed in one minute 6.17 seconds, ahead of Iceland's Hilda Luthersdottir.
The Plymouth-based Lithuanian was winning back at the pool where she took the 2012 Olympic title aged 15.
Tutton edged out Irish swimmer Fiona Doyle for third in 1:07.50, with Tutton's team-mate Molly Renshaw in seventh.

All but one Welsh council had resettled refugees from the UK government's Syrian Vulnerable Persons Resettlement Scheme by the end of last December.
Councils had been criticised for the speed that they were housing people.
Oxfam Cymru welcomed the figures, with Conwy and Denbighshire the latest authorities to become involved.
The charity's Matthew Hemsley said: "Wales has a proud history of welcoming those in need and it is important to see that tradition being continued."
The majority of the refugees in Wales were taken in the second half of 2016 - 285.
A total of 5,454 people have been resettled in the UK.
The figures from the Home Office come after the Welsh Local Government Association said Syrian refugees were expected to have been housed in all council areas across Wales by the end of 2016.
In August 2016, it was reported that only nine of Wales 22 councils had taken part up to the end of June.
The statistics said that one authority - Pembrokeshire - was yet to house refugees from the programme at least by the period covered by the figures, which run from October 2015 to December 2016.
However the council says it plans to resettle a family in the county by the beginning of April. | The number of Syrian refugees resettled in Wales has reached at least 397, according to figures from the Home Office. | 39065285 | [

Brailsford, 52, defended five-time Olympic champion Sir Bradley Wiggins after details of his therapeutic use exemptions (TUEs) were made public.
Wiggins was permitted to take a banned substance before major races and he has denied any wrongdoing.
UK Anti-Doping officials are looking at allegations of wrongdoing at Team Sky.
"I'm not proud of the way I dealt with this," Brailsford told the Telegraph Cycling Podcast.
"I have been through a lot of questioning and scrutiny. It's not comfortable. But if I didn't think we were doing it the right way I wouldn't be here."
Wiggins' use of the anti-inflammatory drug triamcinolone, which treats allergies and respiratory issues, was released by Russian computer hackers known as Fancy Bears.
TUEs allow the use of banned substances if athletes have a genuine medical need. Wiggins' TUEs were approved by British authorities and cycling's world governing body the UCI.
Former Team Sky cyclist Jonathan Tiernan-Locke has said that painkiller Tramadol was "freely offered" when he was riding for Great Britain at the 2012 World Championships.
British Cycling, the national governing body, put the allegation to the medic in question, doctor Richard Freeman, on the BBC's behalf, who denied it.
Brailsford said that Team Sky "try to be open and transparent as much as we can", but refused to comment on the contents of an alleged delivery that was said to have been made on the day Wiggins won the Criterium du Dauphine in La Toussuire in 2011.
"It's in the hands of [Ukad] to check that what is being said is the truth," he said. "I don't think it helps at this moment in time to say it was 'x'." | Team Sky boss Sir Dave Brailsford has said that his handling of the media following allegations against his team has made things a "damn sight worse". | 37673427 | [

To take just a single example, one person on Twitter said of The Times's front page: "He's white, so let's highlight the fact that he's jobless, a lone wolf and suffered mental health issues."
The Times certainly wasn't alone in receiving such opprobrium.
On Thursday morning, the Daily Mail devoted an entire page to an editorial taking umbrage, to put it mildly, with a Guardian cartoon suggesting the attacker at Finsbury Park mosque may have been indoctrinated by reading that paper and The Sun. I tweeted about that battle here.
But the issue that most interests me is that Facebook and Google have been getting it in the neck for not doing more to remove far-right material online glorifying the attack.
In recent months, political pressure has mounted on these two tech giants, as well as other smaller firms, to ensure that the internet is not a "safe space" for terrorists. That old political instinct that Something Must Be Done has kicked into overdrive.
At a recent press conference, Theresa May and Emmanuel Macron committed not only to working together on this issue, but introducing fines if companies didn't act faster to remove hateful material.
It is interesting that this political pressure has been re-applied in the light of an attack by a white man on Muslims. It suggests that the scope of material on the web that could meet with popular disapproval is vast.
Will an anti-Semitic attack prompt demands that Facebook and Google act on anti-Semitism?
Could a rise in sectarian hatred in India prompt demands in that country for, say, Hindu nationalist content to be removed?
Perhaps so. Which means this is a good time to remind you of the complexity of this issue and why, though I certainly don't instinctively take the side of the most powerful companies in the world, it's important to be clear about the implications of turning our Something Must Be Done ire against them.
First of all, we have to separate the issue of encryption from the broader one about hateful content. At times, leading British politicians haven't seemed to grasp the difference.
Messaging apps like WhatsApp are attractive to terrorists because they are protected at both ends: security services can't easily infiltrate them. But if you undermine that protection by creating a so-called back door to encryption, that is an invitation to all sorts of nasties - from foreign powers to cyber-criminals - to take advantage.
On the issue of what to do about hateful material, the problems with clamping down on it are several, and both practical and philosophical.
Practically speaking, the sheer volume of content is impossible to manage, probably even with Artificial Intelligence. Some 350 million photos are posted on Facebook every day, and 400 hours of video uploaded on YouTube every minute.
Moreover, internet content appears in multiple jurisdictions.
If my mate in Jamaica is a fascist, and uploads a violent video from his veranda in Kingston Town saying all non-Rastafarians must die, with a specific threat attached, some people might say that is a matter for the Jamaican authorities.
But if I download it and share it among my school mates in Tooting, London is it a matter for UK authorities too?
Internet companies are also to a large extent protected by the Communications Decency Act, an American law from 1996 which says social media users rather than platforms are responsible for content. This legislation was designed to protect freedom of information.
Companies like Google say they are doing lots to tackle extremism. See Kent Walker's piece earlier this week in the Financial Times for instance.
As I've written before, Silicon Valley companies are terrified of legislation and have a mindset that promotes technological over regulatory solutions to social problems. In this, they differ from many Europeans.
And this points to a philosophical problem about asking the likes of Google and Facebook to police the internet more closely.
Do we really want private companies - who have what critics argue is a global monopoly - to censor ever more of our lives?
Having completely reinvented our public domain in a very, very short space of time, asking tech giants to now do more to tackle extremism, whether Muslim, anti-Muslim or whatever, gives them a social role we may not like the implications of when we think about it.
Of course, with their immense power must come immense responsibility - from paying taxes properly to submitting themselves to greater public scrutiny (something they far too often run scared of).
But for the practical and philosophical reasons I outline, responding to the political imperative for something to be done on hateful online content is as complicated as it is vital. | The attack on Muslims at Finsbury Park mosque has prompted a debate about whether the media has inherent biases, and caused a major kerfuffle within Britain's newspapers. | 40373506 | [

Net income fell to $3.11bn (£2.03bn) compared with a year ago for the personal computer giant.
As its PC business continued to slow, the firm had relied on sales of its chips that go in data servers.
But the firm said demand for its server-chips was slowing.
However, Intel said its latest quarterly numbers were largely in line with expectations and that the results were "solid".
"We executed well in the third quarter and delivered solid results in a challenging economic environment," said Intel's chief executive Brian Krzanich.
The US-based firm also noted the introduction of its "breakthrough 3D XPoint technology, the industry's first new memory category in more than two decades."
Reports have said that Intel's bid to buy Altera Corp for $6.7bn in an attempt to expand parts of its chip business could be given the go-ahead from the EU as soon as this week.
The deal had been cleared by the US Department of Justice, but there were several antitrust issues surrounding it.
Intel hoped that its buy-up of Altera would help boost its higher-margin chip business, particularly for data-servers - and help it focus on chips for cars and watches, among other devices.
In a report released in line with its latest quarterly results, the firm said its outlook for the fourth quarter "does not include the potential impact of any business combinations, asset acquisitions, divestitures, strategic investments and other significant transactions that may be completed after October 13." | The world's biggest chipmaker, Intel, reported a 6% fall in net income for the three months to September and cut its fourth quarter outlook for its important server-chip business. | 34524694 | [

The magnitude-7.3 quake hit at a depth of 10km (six miles) at 01:25 on Saturday (15:25 GMT on Friday) in Kyushu region. At least three people died and hundreds were injured.
A village has been evacuated after a dam collapsed, media reports say.
A tsunami warning was issued, and lifted some 50 minutes later.
Japan is regularly hit by earthquakes but stringent building codes mean that they rarely cause significant damage.
This new earthquake in Kyushu was much bigger and hit a wider area than the one that struck Kumamoto on Thursday night, says the BBC's Rupert Wingfield-Hayes in Tokyo.
In one town near the coast, the city hall has been so badly damaged there are fears it could collapse. A hospital has been evacuated because it is no longer safe.
Thousands of people have fled on to the streets and into parks - where they are huddled under blankets looking dazed and afraid, our correspondent says.
But there are numerous reports of people trapped inside buildings, including at least 60 inside an old people's home.
Public broadcaster NHK says the dam collapsed in the Nishihara village.
Television pictures showed thousands of people filling streets and parks, looking dazed across the region.
NHK had warned of sea waves of up to 1m (3ft).
Japan's nuclear authority said the Sendai nuclear plant was not damaged.
The quake was originally assessed as magnitude 7.1 but revised upwards to 7.3 later.
Gavin Hayes, a research geophysicist with the US Geological Survey (USGS) in Colorado, told the BBC that the latest earthquake would hamper the earlier rescue operation that was already under way.
He said more damage could be expected as the earthquake had been shallower and the fault-line had been much longer.
"The ground surface would have moved in the region of 4-5m. So, you are talking very intense shaking over quite a large area. And that's why we'll probably see a significant impact from this event."
The Associated Press news agency said guests at the Ark Hotel near the Kumamoto Castle, which was damaged, woke up and gathered in the lobby for safety.
Thursday's magnitude-6.2 quake caused shaking at some places as intense as the huge earthquake that hit the country in 2011, Japan's seismology office said.
That quake sparked a huge tsunami and nuclear meltdown at a power plant in Fukushima.
Most of those who died in Thursday's quake were in the town of Mashiki where an apartment building collapsed and many houses were damaged.
More than 1,000 people were injured.
Some 40,000 people had initially fled their homes, with many of those closest to the epicentre spending the night outside, as more than 130 aftershocks had hit the area.
Japan is one of the most seismically active areas on Earth, accounting for about 20% of global quakes of magnitude 6.0 or greater. Seismometers are recording some kind of event every five minutes, on average.
It is through bitter experience that Japan has learnt the strategies to mitigate damage, injury and death. Not only does it implement some the best building construction practices but it has also established an early warning network.
This system relies on the lightning analysis of the developing quake, establishing its location and strength. Alerts are then broadcast that can give people more distant from the epicentre vital seconds' notice.
Just 10 seconds is more than sufficient to drop and get under a sturdy table or open the doors of a fire station.
The prospect of buildings already damaged in Thursday's quake toppling over in this latest tremor will be a concern. | A more powerful earthquake has rocked the southern Japanese city of Kumamoto in the middle of the night, a day after an earlier tremor killed nine people. | 36059487 | [

They are the first duo to host the Saturday night show; they replace Dermot O'Leary who announced he was leaving last month after eight years.
The pair previously co-hosted the spin-off show The Xtra Factor on ITV2 for two years from 2011.
Murs was a contestant on the show in 2009, when he was runner-up to Joe McElderry.
Since then he has gone on to sell 13 million records in five years.
Flack has also found further fame after winning last year's Strictly Come Dancing.
Murs said he was "incredibly excited and proud" to be returning to The X Factor alongside Flack.
"I love the show and it kick-started my career in music which has given me the opportunity to do what I love. I already have the best job in the world and it's about to get better - I can't wait to get started and be part of finding some amazing new talent," he said.
Flack said she was "beyond excited" about presenting the show with him.
"To have the privilege of doing this with someone who makes me laugh out loud is a massive bonus," she said.
"I'm also incredibly lucky to have the best tips and support from my showbiz big brother Dermot. I'm not sure how I can live up to his long-term residency but I know I can't let him down!"
X Factor boss Simon Cowell said he was "absolutely delighted" that they were returning to the show.
"When they were on Xtra together, they were a brilliant double act. Since then, Caroline's gone from strength to strength - and Olly has become one of Britain's biggest stars. So now I'm looking forward to them fronting the main show."
The new series of The X Factor returns to ITV in the autumn and open auditions are currently under way. | Olly Murs and Caroline Flack have been confirmed as the new presenters of The X Factor. | 32336308 | [

The Levada Centre surveys political opinion among Russian people.
Its director, Lev Gudkov, said the move, which comes two weeks before parliamentary elections, amounted to "political censorship".
Laws require all NGOs receiving any overseas funding to register as foreign agents and so face restrictions.
The Levada Centre cannot now conduct any work linked to the election campaign.
Mr Gudkov told Agence France-Presse news agency: "The consequences of such a decision for us are devastating - with such a label, we won't be able to work.
"This practically means the imposition of political censorship and the impossibility of independent polls. It's the typical behaviour of this repressive regime."
The other main pollsters are state-controlled.
The justice ministry said Levada had been "included in a register of non-commercial organisations that fulfil the functions of a foreign agent" following an unannounced document check.
Legislation passed in 2012 has designated as foreign agents a number of rights groups, including Memorial, and the independent election monitoring group Golos.
The Moscow Times said the latest move followed a complaint by the pro-Kremlin Anti-Maidan movement over alleged US funding of Levada.
In May 2013, Levada had said it was being targeted for branding as a foreign agent and had suspended foreign funding.
The Russian authorities say the law is needed to protect Russia from outside attempts to influence internal politics.
But critics say it could be used to prevent NGOs denouncing vote-rigging and other abuses. | Russia's leading independent polling agency has been labelled a "foreign agent" by the justice ministry and says it cannot now work. | 37278649 | [

A video in which the girl's father says that "everyone is welcome" to the party featuring local bands, a meal and a horse race was posted on Facebook on a public setting.
He said the idea had been to invite neighbours and friends only.
But he has since confirmed he would not turn anyone away.
The video shows Crescencio Ibarra standing next to his daughter Rubi, wearing a tiara, and his wife Anaelda Garcia.
"Hello, how are you? We invite you this 26 of December to the 15th birthday party of our daughter, Rubi Ibarra Garcia," Mr Ibarra says, while his daughter smiles.
He then goes on to list the three bands that will play and announces that the winner of a horse race to be held as part of the event stands to win 10,000 pesos ($490; £390).
He ends by saying that "hereby everyone is cordially invited".
A girl's 15th birthday party is a big event in Mexico, as it is seen as the time when she comes of age.
Lavish parties with live bands are not unusual and girls traditionally wear puffy dresses, tiaras and make-up as they are "queen for the day".
It is not clear why this particular video went viral and was shared more than 800,000 times and prompted countless memes and imitations.
Mr Ibarra said in a TV interview he had no idea what had caught the public's imagination.
"We wanted to invite the people from the area, that's all," he said, before denying he had since uninvited all but personal acquaintances.
Mr Ibarra said that when he found out about the mass interest in their daughter's party and how some had poked fun at their rural ways he had been "sad" for two days but that the family had now got used to the idea and that the party would go ahead in a field outside the village of La Joya, in the state of San Luis Potosi.
Ms Garcia said: "Rubi is my daughter and she has always been our queen", before describing her favourite meme so far.
"It's the one about Donald Trump and [Mexican President} Enrique Pena Nieto coming to an agreement to allow undocumented Mexican migrants in the US to return to Mexico for Rubi's party."
Local lawmaker Roberto Alejandro Segovia Hernandez said police would be deployed to the village and the roads leading to it to ensure safety in case the crowds who said on Facebook they would attend really did descend on La Joya.
But even that announcement prompted fresh memes:
Rubi's older sister said Rubi was now "very excited" and looking forward to her party. | Police will be deployed to a village in Mexico after an invitation to a girl's birthday party went viral and 1.2 million people said they would attend. | 38235093 | [

The first Championships took place in 1877 at the All England Club in London, where it's still held today.
Wimbledon takes place over two weeks and it's the only major championship still played on grass.
Here's your guide to the tournament...
There are 128 places available in the draw for both men and women. Out of these 32 are ranked or seeded for the purposes of a draw.
These seeded players are seen as the best players in the draw and they're kept apart so that they don't meet until later in the competition.
In addition there are 16 qualifiers and eight wild cards, players who are given a chance to play even though their world rankings are low.
The match is divided up into sets. In men's tennis you have to get three sets to win. For women it's two.
To win a set you have to win six games - but you also have to get two more games than your opponent.
So you can take the set 6-4, but not 6-5. In that case, you'd continue until someone won 7-5.
If you get to 6-6 first, you play a tiebreak. The first person to get to seven points or more by two clear points wins the tiebreak and the set.
To win a game you need to win four points. But rather than going up from one to four they go in this order: fifteen, thirty, forty, game.
If you are tied on forty-all this is called deuce, and then you have to win by two clear points.
The first Ladies' Championship was held in 1884, before that women weren't allowed to take part in Wimbledon.
In 2007 women were granted the same amount of prize money as men. The Gentlemen's and Ladies' Singles Champions each receive £1.88m in 2015.
Now, the only division between men's and women's tennis is the number of sets you have to get to win.
Tennis was first played in France about 900 years ago - with people using the palms of their hands.
No one really knows how the scoring started, but "deuce" is based on the French word "deux", meaning two, when two people are on the same points.
54,250 tennis balls are used during the Championships period. Yellow tennis balls were used for the first time in 1986.
Traditionally Wimbledon fans eat strawberries and cream throughout the competition. A whopping 28,000 kg of strawberries and 7,000 litres of cream are supplied for each Wimbledon Championship.
The fastest Wimbledon serve of all time was delivered by Taylor Dent in 2010 - it clocked an amazing 148mph!
Seeds - The people expected to do well in a tournament.
Set - The main sections of a tennis match (see how to score, above).
Straight sets - When someone wins a match without losing a set, eg winning three sets to love.
Love - A tennis word for zero.
Forehand - When you hit with the palm of your hand facing to the front.
Backhand - A shot with the back of your hand facing front.
Deuce - This is another way of saying forty-all. It comes from the French word "deux", meaning two, when two people are on the same point.
Baseline - This is the line at the far end of the court.
Cyclops - The machine that goes beep to tell if the ball has hit the net on a serve (which means the serve has to be taken again).
Serve - When the player hits the ball over the net to start the game.
Let - Play the point again.
Tiebreak - When the set is drawn at six-all (see how to score, above).
Ace - When a player wins a point after serving an unstoppable shot.
Smash - A very fast shot hit by a player.
Volley - Hitting the ball before it bounces.
Double fault - Serving twice out of the court and losing the point.
Umpire - The person who decides, like a referee.
Spin - Hitting the ball so it spins and bounces so it's hard for the other player to hit (as in 'top spin', 'back spin'). | The professional tennis season comprises of hundreds of tournaments around the world and one of the most prestigious is Wimbledon. | 27974108 | [

In the alleged fraud, the volunteers rang the emergency 115 number themselves or got friends or relatives to do it. Their commander allegedly skipped shifts in order to start fires.
The team, in the Ragusa district, came under suspicion because they were called out more often than others.
Each was paid about €10 (£9) an hour.
Italians are sweltering in a heatwave that has pushed temperatures above 40C (104F) and dried out the vegetation, making wildfires common.
Spain, Portugal, southern France and the Balkans have also experienced abnormally hot weather this summer.
Italian media report that most of the 15 volunteers detained in Ragusa have admitted starting fires deliberately. Ragusa is in southeastern Sicily, about 105km (65 miles) from Catania. | Italian police have detained 15 volunteer firefighters in southern Sicily accused of starting fires in order to get paid to put them out. | 40848289 | [

Police said that at least eight carriages jumped the tracks near Muzaffarnagar, about 130km (80 miles) north of the capital Delhi.
The cause of the crash, which happened on Saturday evening, is not yet clear.
Rescuers worked into the night to find survivors. TV footage showed carriages piled on top of one another.
The train had been travelling to the Hindu holy city of Haridwar, in the foothills of the Himalayas, from Puri, in eastern Odisha state.
"We are struggling to pull out the injured and are waiting for gas cutters to arrive," said police officer Ajay Pandey at the scene.
"It's too dark to launch a fully fledged search operation but our teams are trying their best."
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted his condolences to families of the victims and pledged all possible assistance.
Train accidents are fairly common in India. The railway system carries more than 22 million passengers a day and much of the equipment is out of date.

She had the "biggest year of her career", playing 95 shows, bringing in an average $2.4m (£1.5m) per city, according to Forbes.
Endorsement deals with companies like Pepsi and H&M, along with the surprise album she released in December 2013, helped her to the top spot.
The self-titled album was released on iTunes with no prior promotion.
Beyonce has just announced she'll be releasing a platinum version of that album later this month, which will include new songs and a concert video.

Taylor Swift came in second on the Forbes list, taking home an estimated $64m (£40m).
Completing the top three is Pink, who played 85 dates during the time period Forbes used to make its estimates.
Her earnings were valued at $52m (£32.5m).
Other artists on the list include Rihanna in fourth with $48m (£30m) and Katy Perry, who took home $40m (£25m), in fifth.
Forbes calculated earnings by looking at income from "touring, record sales, publishing, merchandise sales, endorsements and other ventures" between June 2013 and June 2014.
They also interviewed managers, lawyers and executives and looked at data from organisations such as Nielsen SoundScan.
Some of the high-profile artists who missed out on a spot in the top 10 included Madonna, Nicki Minaj and Alicia Keys.

Deliveries of the double-decker will now fall from 15 this year to 12 in 2018 and eight in 2019, Airbus said.
Chief Executive Tom Enders said that prospects of further sales of the A380 in the short-term were not "necessarily high".
Airbus, which has not had an A380 order for two years, makes the wings at its factory at Broughton, north Wales.
The company said on Thursdays that production of the A380 continued to operate at a marginal loss.
In June, Airbus unveiled an upgraded version of the world's largest passenger jet, promising greater fuel efficiency and room for more seats. Airbus hopes it will be the catalyst for more orders from airlines.
Also on Thursday, Airbus posted second-quarter operating profits which fell 27% to 859m euros (£765m) on revenues of 15.27bn euros.
That fell short of the 910m euro profit expected by analysts polled by Reuters.
On Wednesday, shares in rival Boeing hit a record high after its second-quarter profit and cashflow came in well ahead of Wall Street estimates.
Production at Airbus has been hit by delays in delivery of US engine-maker Pratt & Whitney's engines for the A320neo aircraft.
The fuel-saving Geared Turbofan engine has suffered reliability problems. On Thursday, Airbus chief executive Tom Enders said Pratt & Whitney had to "work harder" to fix the problems.
"It should be a winning engine but they need to fix it," he told reporters. "Pratt & Whitney has introduced some fixes but we are still waiting for these improvements to come through."
He also said that Airbus was in "constructive talks" with Qatar Airways over a recent cancellation of four A350 aircraft, adding, "I think we will find a way out" of the issue. | European aircraft maker Airbus has cut production of its A380 superjumbo for the second time in a year. | 40738584 | [

A shocking claim, based on figures from the Office of National Statistics.
The data for England and Wales shows that in 2015, hunger and/or dehydration were a factor in 828 patient deaths in hospitals and care homes.
But that doesn't mean all of these patients starved to death or died of thirst, experts at the ONS were quick to point out when I spoke with them about it.
Malnutrition may be recorded on the death certificate as a factor contributing directly to a death when it was a complication of a different underlying cause, such as cancer of the stomach, for example.
If you are very sick, it might not be feasible or desirable to eat and drink. Having a disease such as advanced cancer can cause malnutrition.
That's not to say that patients who are terminally ill should have fluid and nutrients withheld. On the contrary, guidelines make it clear that even if a patient can't eat or drink they should still be provided for.
They were drawn up after reports revealed some patients at the end of life were being denied this basic right when they were put on a care protocol called the Liverpool Care Pathway.
The LCP was scrapped in 2015 after relatives complained that their loved ones had been put on it without their knowledge and denied fluids, which hastened their deaths.
Another dark period in history for the NHS was the Stafford Hospital Scandal, where hundreds of patients died amid appalling levels of care between 2005 and 2009.
An inquiry identified terrible and unnecessary suffering, including examples where patients had been provided with food and drink, but it had been left out of their reach.
Joan Morris, 83, was admitted to Stafford Hospital in December 2006 with a chest infection.
Her family said that food and water had been left on a table instead of being given to her.
Another patient, Tom Wilhelms, resorted to drinking from a vase.
In response to the Francis Inquiry into the failings at the Mid Staffordshire Foundation Trust, the government published new hospital standards including around nutritional and hydration care.
And it asked the Care Quality Commission to make sure that the hospitals and care homes it inspected were following these standards.
The CQC's first dedicated review was in 2012.
It inspected 500 care homes and 50 hospitals in England and found 83% of care homes and 88% of hospitals it inspected met people's nutritional needs, which means patients were provided a suitable choice of food and drink and given help to eat and drink when they needed it.
It says this shows things have improved.
Prof Sir Mike Richards, CQC Chief Inspector of Hospitals, said: "We expect the food provided to be nutritious, to meet people's dietary requirements, and for this to be included as part of patients care planning while in hospital, and we look closely at this on our inspections. Where we find this is not happening or identify concerns that people's nutritional needs are not being met we take action and have a range of enforcement powers at our disposal where required."
Age UK agrees that there's been progress, but says malnutrition in the NHS is still a big issue.
Lesley Carter, who works of the charity and is programme manager of the Malnutrition Task Force, says a third of people going into hospitals and care homes are already malnourished or at risk of malnutrition when they are admitted.
"That means they are already vulnerable to start with."
She said that on busy wards, mealtimes might get rushed or overlooked without the right staffing.
"Older people in particular might need help to eat and drink, and they aren't always getting this. Food can still be left out of reach.
"Some hospitals have employed nutrition nurses to spot those patients that need help, and nutrition assistants to help with the feeding, which is good.
"But it is time consuming to feed someone properly."
She says friends and families have a responsibility to keep a check on elderly loved ones too.
"We all need to realise that it's not natural to lose weight as we age."
Although elderly people should be encouraged to eat a healthy diet, she says this can backfire.
A salad might be worse than cake in terms of nutrition for someone who is old and frail and has a poor appetite, for example.
"Some residents in care homes are being given low fat yoghurt and semi-skimmed milk when instead they should get full fat milk."
Food for thought.

Trainer John Gosden let the unbeaten 4-7 favourite race after he walked the course and she beat runner-up Vintage Folly by a length and three quarters.
She goes to Chantilly next rather than the Oaks at Epsom, in which stablemates Enable and Coronet are top contenders.
Tasleet (14-1) took the Duke of York Stakes for trainer William Haggas.
Jim Crowley's mount won comfortably from Magical Memory in second, with Comicas third.
Shutter Speed, whose last run at Newbury saw her beat Enable into third, brought a fifth Musidora win for both Gosden and Dettori.
"We got away with it. The ground was very soft. It was hard work for her," said Dettori.
"She'll be a better horse on better ground. She's top drawer. Everything she does is very classy."
Gosden is concerned about the ground for his colt Cracksman in Thursday's Dante Stakes and will again walk the course before deciding whether he runs in the Derby trial.
BBC Sport horse racing correspondent Cornelius Lysaght
Shutter Speed's clearly in very good order and she coped well with the soggy conditions.
She'll be off to France's Oaks, staged over 'her distance' of a mile and a quarter, and Gosden will rely on Enable and Coronet in the longer Epsom Oaks.
The trainer said he was pleased to now have a month to prepare Shutter Speed for Chantilly.
Meanwhile, the gap between Thursday's Dante Stakes and the Derby is just 16 days, so Gosden's colt Cracksman may not be asked to line up in what's sure to be an examining Dante, in terms of both quality and going. | Shutter Speed overcame rain-softened ground to win the Musidora Stakes at York under Frankie Dettori and will now be aimed at next month's French Oaks. | 39938984 | [

Oberon was one of three animals mauled by a dog in their field in the eastern part of the New Forest on 22 December.
Owner Susan Sears said she was "devastated" Oberon's wounds had not healed, and, despite further surgery, he was found to be "beyond recovery".
The two other injured animals have received further treatment for their wounds.
Mrs Sears said: "After nearly two weeks of round the clock monitoring and nursing, poor Oberon's wounds were not healing as well as hoped and, despite further surgery, were found to be beyond recovery.
"As alpha male, it is likely that Oberon would have put himself between his herd mates and the attacking dog,"
Another alpaca had also been the victim of a dog attack in the same field earlier last year.
Oberon was part of a herd of about 80 animals which Mrs Sears and her husband have bred for their wool for the past six years.
A crowdfunding appeal to help pay for the animals' treatment raised more than £1,900. | An alpaca which was seriously injured in a dog attack has been put down, its owner has said. | 38508620 | [

A preview showed the pair dancing to Beyonce's Single Ladies.
The clip, posted on YouTube, shows Corden arriving at the White House for a tour before Mrs Obama gets into his car.
The footage, which was recorded last month in Washington DC, will air on the British star's Late, Late Show in the US on Wednesday.
Mrs Obama is seen telling the presenter: "I hear you're here for a 1.45 tour and I had a little time on my hands so you want to go for a spin?"
The First Lady then tells Corden she "rarely" gets to listen to music in the car and the only time she has ever sat in the front passenger seat "rocking out" was when one of her daughters was learning to drive.
Other stars who have appeared on Carpool Karaoke include Adele, Sir Elton John and Stevie Wonder.
Corden began hosting The Late, Late Show in March last year.

Darya Klishina, 25, initially escaped a blanket ban on Russia's athletes for doping by governing body the IAAF, but her eligibility was revoked following new, but unspecified, information.
However, the Court of Arbitration for Sport has overturned that decision.
Qualifying for the long jump takes place on Tuesday.
"I can thankfully focus my time and attention on competing tomorrow night and enjoying my Olympic experience, which I have dreamed of since I first began long jumping as a young girl," said Klishina on Facebook.
Russian track and field athletes were banned from the Olympics following claims the country ran a state-sponsored doping programme.
Klishina, 10th in the 2015 World Championships, had been cleared to compete in her first Olympics as her drugs-testing record was established in the United States, where she is based, rather than in Russia.
In upholding Klishina's appeal, Cas said that her permanent residence outside Russia still applied despite the IAAF's additional information.
"We instigated a review process following new evidence presented to us," said the IAAF in response.
"The outcome we reached to revoke Darya Klishina's exceptional eligibility was not upheld by Cas despite the information received and she is therefore eligible to compete in Rio."

An older generation of practitioners had traditionally relied on a long-established formula, performing illusions that were often mysterious but lacking in spontaneity and humour.
Daniels brought a chirpy, cheeky persona to his act - albeit one which was not to everyone's taste - which seemed to thrive on close contact with his audience.
Modern technology allowed TV cameras to home in on the close magic at which he excelled, yet on a larger scale, his illusions - most of which he devised himself - broke new ground in terms of complexity and sophistication.
He was born Newton Edward Daniels in the South Bank area of Middlesbrough on 6 April 1938. His father worked as a projectionist at the local Hippodrome Theatre.
His interest in magic was sparked when he read a book entitled How to Entertain at Parties and he began practising tricks for his family and friends before performing in local youth clubs.
There was an added bonus in that, as a small and shy child, he finally had a skill that would boost his confidence and make people take notice of him.
"From that moment," he later said, "I can safely say that all I ever wanted to do in life was to become a professional magician."
After leaving grammar school, the young Daniels found a job as a junior clerk in the treasury department of the local council.
He did his national service with the Green Howards, a regiment with close connections to the north-east of England. He found himself posted to Hong Kong, where he continued to hone his skills as a magician by giving impromptu performances to fellow soldiers.
After he was demobbed, he began training as an accountant before joining his parents in a small grocery business. Eventually he set up his own mobile shop.
But magic remained his abiding interest and his evenings were spent performing in local variety clubs. After marrying Jacqueline Skipworth in 1960, the couple often performed together as The Eldanis, an anagram of his surname.
Northern club audiences had a reputation for being somewhat unforgiving and prone to heckle performers who, in their opinion, did not come up to the mark.
According to Daniels, it was abuse from one heckler in Bradford that made him come up with the retort: "You'll like this - not a lot, but you'll like it," which would become his catchphrase.
He developed his style of patter as a way of keeping the audience entertained and as a useful diversion when he had to perform a particularly tricky sleight of hand.
His breakthrough came in 1969 when he was offered a summer season in Newquay. He sold his grocery shop and became a full-time entertainer.
After an appearance on the talent show Opportunity Knocks, Daniels caught the eye of Johnny Hamp, a senior executive with Granada Television who gave him a regular slot on The Wheeltappers and Shunters Social Club, a variety show compered by Bernard Manning and set in a fictional working men's club.
In 1978, ITV gave him his own Sunday night television show and, the following year, he moved to the BBC with the Paul Daniels Magic Show, which ran for 15 years.
As well as performing his own tricks, Daniels had a segment of the show known as the Bunco Booth, in which he exposed the underhand methods used by street confidence tricksters. A 1985 Easter edition of his show won the prestigious Golden Rose of Montreux.
By this time, he was in both a professional and personal relationship with the woman who became his on-stage assistant, the former ballerina Debbie McGee. The couple, who had first worked together during a 1979 summer season in Great Yarmouth, married in 1988.
At the peak of his fame, he also hosted a number of other television series including the quiz shows Odd One Out, Every Second Counts and Wipeout, and the children's television programme Wizbit.
There was controversy in 1987 when Daniels performed, on live TV, a recreation of a Harry Houdini trick in which he was chained inside a replica of a medieval iron maiden, an instrument of torture. He had to escape before the door swung fully shut to avoid being impaled on spikes.
When Daniels failed to appear, the screen cut to black, giving the impression the trick had gone badly wrong. The BBC's phone lines were jammed with calls from viewers, whose concern turned to complaints when it was all revealed to be a hoax. Daniels hadn't even warned family members who had been watching.
He was bitter when the BBC failed to renew his contract but continued to work in the theatre. There was a six-week run in The Magic Man in London's West End in 1994 and he created and staged special effects for hit shows such as Phantom of the Opera.
He often seemed more relaxed on the stage, where he saw himself as an actor, performing what seemed to be the impossible. He preferred to describe himself as a conjuror than a magician.
Daniels and his wife took part in a programme in the series When Louis Met... in which documentary maker Louis Theroux delved into the lives of celebrities with a mocking wit.
He was also mercilessly lampooned on the satirical puppet show Spitting Image, in which his wig would rise up from his head and spin around on its own.
McGee herself became a target of comedian Caroline Aherne's Mrs Merton character, who memorably asked her: "What first attracted you to the millionaire Paul Daniels?". It became one of television's most popular one-liners.
Daniels was outspoken in his political views and took a strong line on law and order, once publicly offering to help Ian Huntley, convicted of the Soham schoolgirl murders, to end his own life.
Three years ago at the height of the Jimmy Savile revelations he recalled being routinely offered sex earlier in his career and admitted he couldn't be sure all the women he'd slept with were over 16.
He also had little truck with younger illusionists such as David Blaine, saying: "If people were better educated in the world of magic, he would have greater difficulty than he's having. He's not very original."
If public tastes in TV magicians had changed from Daniels' heyday in the 70s and 80s, he did not let it affect his profile on British TV.
In 2004, he and McGee appeared in the Channel 5 reality TV show The Farm and, two years later, they appeared in the X Factor: Battle of the Stars.
They were the first act voted off the show, after singing Let Me Entertain You by Robbie Williams.
In 2010, Daniels also appeared on the eighth series of BBC One's Strictly Come Dancing, where he was paired with Ola Jordan.
He was the second celebrity voted off, following DJ and actor Goldie.
Of his experience on the show, he told the Daily Mirror: "It got rid of my inhibitions. That's a good thing that came out of Strictly.
"Debbie and I renewed our vows the other week and, for the first time in 22 and a half years, I danced properly with her." | Paul Daniels brought a new dimension to the art of the stage magician, mixing complex tricks with jokes and non-stop patter. | 13144271 | [

This is the full statement to the inquests read by his son, Stephen Clark, on behalf of his mother Jacqueline Gilchrist:
Jacqueline Gilchrist speaking on behalf of the Clark family.
Joseph Clark came from a large family. He had five brothers and one sister. He was the third eldest and always loved spending time with his extended family when he was growing up.
'Oey' was quite a shy lad who enjoyed playing football and going out with his mates and brothers. He was very close to his siblings, as well as his Mum and Dad.
Profiles of all those who died
He loved it when his extended family had large gatherings. He got to meet those relatives he hadn't seen for a while. Even his aunts and uncles loved him.
Joseph, who was also known as Oey, played football for two local teams and was known for being a speedy winger. One of the teams he played for was the Woodpecker Bar FC. People always commented on how good a player he was, even if he was just kicking a ball about with his mates.
Oey and I met in 1978. I was 16 years old and Oey was 18. We lived around the corner from each other.
'Fell in love'
We met in a club and from then fell in love. We loved each other to bits, and then, four and a half years after we met, we had our first son Joseph, who was born on 31 August, 1982.
Sadly, we lost Joseph on 15 October when he was just six-and-a-half weeks old. Oey was heartbroken.
Stephen was born two years later, on 22 March, 1984. Oey was over the moon and was so excited that he had a son. He nicknamed him BB. They were always playing football together and going on days out on boats up the Mersey.
In 1989, we gave birth to a little girl Jennifer. She was tiny. Oey was scared to pick her up.
The morning of 15 April, 1989, that horrible day, was one of the times that he did pick her up before he left the house. He had been playing football with Stephen outside while holding Jennifer in his arms and swinging her in the air.
His mates arrived in the car to go to the match, so he gave us all a kiss and said 'See you later' and off he went. That was the last thing that he said to us because he never came back from the match.
He was only 29 years old with his whole life in front of him.
'Happy-go-lucky'
Oey was employed by IBL in Liverpool and enjoyed his time working there.
We all miss Oey very, very much. Life has never been the same since he died that horrible day. Our whole lives changed and I never really got over it and we're in still life. I am still the same from that day.
Oey would have been proud of his children now that they are grown up. Stephen remembers lots about him, going to matches with his father and enjoying the time that they spent together.
He loved Liverpool Football Club and I know that he was very proud to be able to take his own son to the matches at Anfield.
Oey has three beautiful grandchildren, who he never had the chance to meet. The eldest, Joseph, was born on New Year's Eve ,2005. Lee was born in 2008 and his grand-daughter, Daisy, was born on 27 July, 2012 but unfortunately Daisy only lived 12 days before she passed away.
Joseph loved life to the full. He was always happy-go-lucky and forever with a smile on his face. He is missed by all of us who were lucky enough to have known him. | A father-of-two from Liverpool, Joseph Clark was a fork lift driver and drove to the match with his brother Stephen Clark and David Roberts, who both survived, and another friend, Alan McGlone, who also died in the tragedy. | 26981620 | [

Scotland Office minister Lord Dunlop was speaking as the House of Lords debated the Scotland Bill.
Talks between the UK and Scottish governments on the fiscal framework continued over the weekend, although no agreement has yet been announced.
Lord Dunlop said the talks were at a "sensitive and critical point".
But he told peers that "significant progress" had been made.
Peers agreed to go ahead with detailed scrutiny of the new powers contained in the Scotland Bill despite the lack of agreement on the fiscal framework.
Tory former Scottish secretary Lord Forsyth had called for the final day's committee stage debate to be delayed until the fiscal framework was published.
But he withdrew his demand after opposition from both the government and Labour.
Labour's former chancellor, Lord Darling, said it was "deeply regrettable" that parliament still did not know what the fiscal framework was going to look like.
Lord Darling said there were "massive considerations" to take into account in determining tax and welfare.
He added: "I struggle to see how it's going to work. If we don't get it right, we could be simply storing up problems for the future, providing rich and fertile grounds for those who seek out grudge and grievance as a way of life."
Scottish Finance Secretary John Swinney held talks with his UK government counterparts in London on Friday.
Mr Swinney said afterwards that progress had been made, but some "significant issues" still remained before a final deal could be agreed.
The two government have been locked in protracted discussions about how the block grant that Holyrood receives should be adjusted when new tax powers are devolved to Scotland.
Any deal must meet the principle of "no detriment" - the idea that neither the UK or Scottish governments should lose out financially simply as a result of the decision to devolve.
Mr Swinney and Scottish Secretary David Mundell are both due to appear before the Scottish Parliament's Devolution Committee on Tuesday, where they will be asked to lay out their positions.
With the Scottish Parliament being dissolved next month ahead of May's elections, MSPs on the committee had warned of "very substantial impacts" on their ability to scrutinise any proposals if talks were not concluded by 19 February.
But Chief Secretary to the Treasury Greg Hands has said he will not be able to appear before Holyrood's Finance Committee on Wednesday to give evidence to MSPs about the talks.
Mr Hands, who has been negotiating on behalf of the UK government during the talks, had previously said he would be "very happy" to appear before MSPs once a deal had been reached.
In a letter to the committee, he said: "I fully intend to honour that commitment. Unfortunately, due to parliamentary business I can not attend your committee on 24 February.
"I look forward to appearing before your committee once the framework is agreed."
In response, committee convenor Kenneth Gibson told Mr Hands: "This would appear to suggest that you do not think an agreement will be reached on the fiscal framework before then."
He urged Mr Hands to reconsider, stating: "If this is indeed the case, then it is essential that the Finance Committee has the opportunity to hear from both governments as to why it has not been possible to reach an agreement."
The Scottish government has already warned it will pull the plug on the Scotland Bill by recommending MSPs veto the legislation if an agreement over the fiscal framework cannot be found. | A deal on the financial arrangements that will underpin Scotland's new devolution powers "seems within reach", a UK government minister has said. | 35634547 | [

Dylan Marcus Edwards, 50, from Llanrwst in Conwy county, admitted causing suffering to Cali the cat which was put in a bag and hit with a piece of wood.
Llandudno Magistrates' Court heard the cat defecated in the Royal Oak Hotel kitchen in Betws-y-Coed in December.
Edwards was sentenced to 18 weeks in prison, suspended for two years.
Tudur Owen, prosecuting for the RSPCA, said the cat had also bitten and scratched other members of staff.
Colleagues had penned the cat under a fridge using chopping boards.
Edwards and a colleague entered the kitchen saying "we're going to have to kill the cat" and came out with the animal inside a black bag, carrying a piece of wood and saying "we'll have to put it out of its misery".
The court heard the pair were challenged by another colleague but Edwards was concerned the cat would return if they chased it away and said to her: "We don't have a choice."
There had been a furious local backlash following the cat's death and an online petition calling for those responsible to be prosecuted attracted more than 35,700 supporters.
Melissa Griffiths, defending, said Edwards had been dismissed from his job after 32 years working at the hotel.
"He's been vilified since and has become a hermit in his own home, afraid to go out because of the strength of feeling against him," said Ms Griffiths.
"He's been verbally abused and refused service in his local village. He wrongly believed the cat was not a protected animal because it was feral."
Edwards was ordered to carry out 250 hours of unpaid work and pay £865 costs.
The court also heard the case against another 36-year-old man had been dropped.
Speaking after the case, RSPCA inspector Phil Lewis said: "The cat was put in a black bag and hit with a piece of wood. To me it's a heinous act. This was premeditated, pre-planned." | A former chef at a Snowdonia hotel has been given a suspended prison sentence for killing a feral cat which had wandered into a hotel kitchen. | 40106505 | [

McClean, who was recently released by Nottingham Forest, was on trial with the Perth outfit in the last few weeks of the 2016-17 campaign.
And the midfielder has now signed a one year deal at McDiarmid Park.
Manager Tommy Wright told the club's website: "I was very impressed with Kyle in his trial and he will go straight into the first team squad."
McClean has been included in Northern Ireland's squad for their opening Euro Under-21 qualifier in Estonia on Thursday.
St Johnstone finished fourth in the Premiership in 2016-17 and go into the Europa League qualifiers later this month.

Sterling dropped 0.5% against the dollar to trade at $1.2872, while it also shed a similar amount against the euro to 1.1844 euros.
The Bank trimmed its 2017 growth forecast and said household spending was slowing more quickly than expected.
Rates were held at 0.25%, as expected, after a 7-1 vote by policymakers.
Some analysts had speculated that a second member of the Bank's Monetary Policy Committee might vote in favour of a rate rise.
On the stock market, the FTSE 100 index closed almost flat, up 1.4 points at 7,386.6, helped by a positive performance from mining shares.
Silver miner Fresnillo rose 5%, while Randgold Resources and Antofagasta also rallied.
Pharmaceuticals firm Hikma dropped 8.2%, making it the biggest faller, after US regulators delayed approval for a new drug.
Hikma has been developing a generic version of GlaxoSmithKline's lung drug Advair, but US regulators found "major" issues with its application.
The company said there was now "a low likelihood" that the drug would be approved this year.
Centrica, the British Gas owner, fell a further 5.4% after it went ex-dividend and JP Morgan cut its rating to "underweight" from "overweight".
The bank's analysts pointed to concerns around the impact of regulation given millions of British Gas customers are on standard variable tariffs, and the potential threat of a price war.
BT fell 4.5% after reporting a slide in annual profits.
Mondi was another faller, down 1.7% after the South African packaging company reported lower profits.

Police said the man was detained as part of an ongoing investigation into the conflict in Syria.
Officers from the South East Counter Terrorism Unit (SECTU) and Sussex Police are searching one residential address.
The arrest is not linked to any immediate threat in the UK, police said.
Crawley MP Henry Smith said police told him early this morning that a 40-year-old man had been arrested at a property thought to be in the Langley Green area of the town.
He said: "I understand he has been arrested in relation to membership of organisations which are connected with activity to the Syrian civil war."
Mr Smith said he understood people would be concerned over news of the arrest, particularly following the death of Abdul Waheed Majeed, from Crawley, who died in a suspected suicide attack in Syria in February last year.
The 41-year-old, who was born and raised in Crawley, drove a truck bomb into the gates of a prison in Aleppo.
The father of three had left Britain in 2013 telling his family he was going on a humanitarian mission to Syria.
Mr Smith said: "These cases are in the minority but they are very concerning and the public need to feel that they are as protected as they can be."
A spokesperson for SECTU said the unit was committed to intervening in activities "which cause concern to local communities".
"We will continue to work with our partners and local communities in order to protect them from individuals and organisations which may seek to exploit them for extremist purposes," the spokesperson added.
Local residents are being asked to contact police if they have any concerns regarding extremist activity in the area. | A 40-year-old man has been arrested in Crawley, West Sussex, on suspicion of terror offences. | 30711120 | [

Sir Bernard announced the move to reassure the public and deter attackers following terrorist attacks in Europe.
The Met has already said the number of armed officers will go up in London by 600 to 2,800.
And a further 900 armed officers are planned to be in operation for the rest of England and Wales.
But Steve White, chairman of the Police Federation of England and Wales, said it may take two years to fully train the 1,500 recruits planned nationally.
"When you're recruiting 1,500 it's going to take a lot of time. You've got to find the resources, the facilities and the people," he told the BBC.
However, Deputy Chief Constable Simon Chesterman, the national lead for firearms, said last month that the majority of new armed officers will be in place by April 2017.
The latest announcement comes after 84 people were killed when a lorry ploughed into a large crowd watching a fireworks display in Nice in the south of France last month.
Londoners and tourists out enjoying the August sunshine in central London report mixed feelings about more armed police patrolling the city's streets.
Teacher Julie Banks, who was visiting from Liverpool, says she finds the news reassuring, "especially at this time of year when there are more tourists and crowds. We shouldn't be complacent".
Retired friends John Lee and John Coles, both from London, agree. "It's a good thing. It's not going to stop a terror attack, but it makes people feel more secure," Mr Coles says.
"I never thought I would see the day British police carried weapons in the street like this, but I think that needs to happen now - whether we like it or not," Mr Lee adds.
Bricklayer Gary Johns, 34, approved, but says: "The real question is what their response time is."
Others, however, say the sight of police carrying heavy weapons makes them uneasy. "It makes me more nervous than secure to be honest," says Bryony Wood, a make-up artist, 26, from west London. "It's a reminder of what might happen."
"I have mixed feelings about it," says Ebuka Orunta, 20, from south London. "On one hand I feel safer knowing the Met has a strategy in place to mitigate the risk.
"On the other hand, we've seen the problems with police brutality in the US. It's important the people in charge of this weaponry are the right people who are going to protect us."
Sir Bernard said: "We have no intelligence that there will be an attack shortly but what we do know is what we have seen in western Europe.
"We have seen attacks in Germany, in Belgium, in France and we would be foolish to ignore that, so it's important that we get officers out there with firearms to respond."
The commissioner said the increased firearms teams would be patrolling randomly around the clock.
It comes after he told a newspaper that a terror attack on the UK is highly likely and a case of "when, not if". Writing in the Mail on Sunday, the Met chief said there was a "sense of fear" in Britain.
Mr Khan said: "It's really important that Londoners are reassured that the police service, that the security service, that all of us are doing our bit to keep Londoners in our city safe...
"The threat level hasn't changed but we are learning the lessons from Europe, from Nice, from Paris, from Munich."
By BBC home affairs correspondent Dominic Casciani
The Metropolitan Police have long aimed to make the capital as "hostile" an environment as possible for any would-be attacker to carry out a mass-casualty attack.
But if they can't stop someone attacking, the goal is to have enough armed police available to get to the scene of an atrocity quickly to minimise casualties and neutralise the threat.
Armed police reached the scene of the 2013 killing of Fusilier Lee Rigby 11 minutes after the 999 call. The attackers were not armed with automatic weapons and just stood there waiting for police to arrive, rather than attacking anyone else.
Clearly, in a Paris-style scenario, 11 minutes is a long, long time so a great deal of today's security planning aims to accelerate how quickly specialist firearms officers could reach a scene.
None of which addresses a much bigger issue: what if the attack isn't in London, Birmingham or Manchester? Major cities may be well-resourced - but preparing to respond to an incident elsewhere is far more challenging.
The Met said the new armed officers would be "working alongside their neighbourhood and specialist colleagues", and Mr Khan said there would be a second dedicated PC in every London ward by the end of next year.
In Munich, Germany, nine people died in a shooting at a shopping centre in July while in November 2015, gunmen and suicide bombers killed 130 people in Paris.
Meanwhile, Mr White expressed his concern about the time it would take to put the plan in place.
"What we've got to make sure is that we have the resources in the right place at the right time and we've also got to recognise that this isn't London-centric... a terrorist attack could happen anywhere in the country."
Firearms officers in the Metropolitan Police have to undergo a comprehensive selection and training process before they are allowed on to the streets with a gun. | More armed police are to be seen on patrol in London, Metropolitan Police commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe and Mayor of London Sadiq Khan have said. | 36961338 | [

Tulip has been covering the outbreak over the past few months, reporting on the children born with microcephaly and other birth defects believed to be caused by the virus as well as speaking to scientists who are leading the fight back against Zika.
Many of you got in touch on Facebook to ask Tulip questions about the new vaccine, and when it might be available to pregnant women.
This is an edited version of the Facebook Q&A.
Question from Dawn McLean: Have you tested the vaccine already? How do you know if it works or not?
Tulip answers: Human trials haven't started for the vaccine being developed by the National Institutes of Health - where I have been reporting from this week. They are due to start - assuming no major problems - in the summer/ autumn of this year.
If the vaccine is found to be safe with no concerning side effects, the drug will be given to a larger number of people to test how effective it is and further evaluate its safety. The final phase is giving it to large groups of people to confirm how effective it is.
Question from Priscilla Wakanuma: How possible is it to make a vaccine for this virus?
Tulip replies: Scientists here in Bethesda at the National Institutes of Health think it's very possible. They already have a vaccine for a similar virus - West Nile - which they have been working on.
So they're using some of the tried and tested methods from that to try and develop a vaccine for Zika ASAP.
Taj Rahman asks: The vaccine is available in November, I thought this was a global emergency?
Tulip replies: Hi Taj - getting vaccines ready for market takes years, often decades. They have to go through stringent safety and efficacy trials and then get signed off by a whole load of regulatory bodies.
When the WHO declared this public health emergency last month, one of the key things they highlighted was the urgent need for research into new vaccines. Scientists and pharmaceuticals came together very fast on Ebola, it's hoped that can happen again this time.
But sadly, many more babies are expected to be born with these birth defects in the meantime.
Question from Hannah Borrett: How have they managed to push through the development so quickly?
Tulip replies: You're right, it can take years, decades even to get a new vaccine through all the clinical trials and then signed off through all the various national and international regulatory authorities. But in an emergency - which the Zika outbreak now is - things can be fast-tracked.
A lot more money is put into research, and there's a much bigger political will to get things moving fast.
Take the Ebola outbreak for example, there are now a couple of candidate vaccines that could be used in an outbreak that have shown some efficacy. Research - and cash - for that vaccine was pushed through super quickly.
Adebola Misturah Martins-Bello asks about plans to prioritise who will be considered a priority for the vaccine.
Tulip replies: The plan here at the National Institutes of Health is to have a special focus on protecting pregnant women.
The virus isn't particularly harmful for most people, but the concern is this strongly suspected link to babies of infected mothers being born with under developed brains.
If a link if confirmed, and a vaccine is developed quickly - health authorities will look into whether to add it to childhood vaccines, a bit like the rubella vaccine, which also protects girls/ women if they have babies later in life.

Dave Baker, of the Olympus Trust which operates near Bristol, said government cuts had left it at "crisis point".
Parents described the funding problem as "diabolical". A union said the idea was "terrible" but families deserved to know the truth about funding.
A Department for Education (DfE) spokesman said new funding plans would increase the trust's budget by 2.4%.
The Olympus Trust runs one secondary, one all-through school and five primary academies in South Gloucestershire, to the north of Bristol.
In the letter Mr Baker warned parents of the "unthinkable" decisions the trust could be forced to make from September.
These include shortening the school day "because we cannot afford to staff lessons for the whole week".
Other proposals are cutting teaching and support jobs within the schools, increasing class sizes and reducing the curriculum.
The letter also says parents may be asked to make regular financial contributions to supplement school funding.
Mr Baker said South Gloucestershire was one of the five worst-funded local authorities so had less reserves to draw upon.
Beckie Morton, a parent of two daughters at Charlborough Road Primary School, is anxious about the impact any cuts will have on her girls, aged 10 and seven.
She said: "It's shocking - I don't know what I'd do work-wise if they shortened the school day.
"If they do this, all that will be left is the lessons and no extra support for pupils.
"My eldest daughter suffers panic attacks and has received a lot of pastoral care - this will have a massive impact on her final year there."
Natalie, who has a son attending at Bradley Stoke Community School, called the proposals "diabolical".
She said: "At the moment we are hoping to have a special needs support worker for my son and if they cut funding he won't have that.
"I don't blame the school, they are trying their best."
In December, the government announced the biggest shake-up of school funding for decades.
The DfE said the current system was "unfair, opaque and outdated" and the changes would see more than half of England's schools get more cash.
"We recognise that schools are facing cost pressures, which is why we will continue to provide support to help them use their funding in cost-effective ways, including improving the way they buy goods and services, so‎ they get the best possible value. "
Kevin Courtney, chair of the National Union of Teachers (NUT), said schools were still facing an 8% reduction in spending power.
He said: "All schools in England will have less money in real terms per pupil in 2020 than they do now.
"This cash they talk about doesn't keep pace with spending pressures on schools.
"The proposals Mr Baker has mentioned are terrible and none of them should happen, but parents deserve to know the truth about the position schools are in."
The consultation on the new formula runs until 22 March 2017. | Pupils at seven schools could have shorter days after a trust head say he may have to cut hours to save money. | 39055714 | [

The 27-year-old has made 73 appearances for Blues since joining in 2013 but spent the past 18 months out on loan.
Last season, the once-capped Scotland international helped Hibernian win promotion to the Scottish Premiership, scoring three goals in 32 games.
"To get him for Luton is a real coup for the football club," Hatters boss Nathan Jones told the club website.
"We lost a wonderful player in Cameron McGeehan [to Barnsley] and what he does is difficult to replace, but we have brought in a different Championship-quality player and we are delighted."

Nintendo said such pixels were "normal and should not be considered a defect".
But one analyst said if the issues were as bad as online photos suggested, it was "unbelievable" Nintendo had let them leave the factory.
The £280 handheld console went on sale on Friday.
Sales figures suggest it has become the fastest-selling games console in the Japanese company's history, with reports some shops have already sold out.
In the UK, it has sold an estimated 80,000 units.
The Switch can be played both on televisions and as a standalone device.
It launched with a handful of games, with some critics saying there were too few.
And now, thousands of customers have reported their new devices came with a screen problem.
On a Reddit discussion thread, one user said: "I understand they're apparently common in devices, but in a handheld system it's a big enough annoyance for me I would not purchase a device with one."
He said he had a similar problem with his Sony Playstation Portable.
"My first one had dead pixels in the middle of the screen, and I brought it back to the store I purchased it in," he said.
"Luckily, it was a big news story so they were allowing you to open up new boxes in the stores and turn on the device.
"I went through three and on the fourth got one without any visible dead pixels."
Nintendo responded on its support page, saying: "Small numbers of stuck or dead pixels are a characteristic of LCD screens."
A similar pixel issue also affected Nintendo's DS, and the Japanese gaming company eventually allowed buyers to replace devices.
Paul Gray, an analyst at research company IHS, said such issues should no longer be common.
"In the early days of LCD screens there were lots of defects, but these days you see fewer and fewer of them," he said.
"Some of the photos I've seen posted online, I cannot believe that Nintendo would have knowingly let them leave the factory like that.
"Something doesn't ring quite true," he said, suggesting that some of the photos may have been doctored.
Mr Gray advised anyone with a defective device to return it to the shop they bought it from.
"If you are a consumer and you find it irritating, you should go back to the retailer and say that you are not happy," he said. | Thousands of owners of Nintendo's new console, Switch, have complained about dead or stuck pixels creating distracting and annoying dark squares on their screens. | 39192785 | [

Australian Matthews, 25, of Orica-BikeExchange won a sprint finish ahead of Peter Sagan and Edvald Boasson Hagen to claim his first Tour victory.
Slovak Sagan took the green points jersey from Briton Mark Cavendish.
Defending champion Froome finished in the peloton, nine minutes 39 seconds behind Matthews, on the 197km stage from Escaldes-Engordany to Revel.
Britain's Adam Yates, Matthews' 23-year-old team-mate, was in the same group to keep the white jersey for best young rider.
2013 and 2015 winner Froome and his main rivals enjoyed a relatively comfortable day, which started with a big climb but flattened out to suit a breakaway win.
The main contenders for the yellow jersey were happy to let a group of 15 riders - none of whom threatened the overall lead - surge ahead.
Britain's Steve Cummings, who won stage seven, was part of the breakaway but dropped back as two Orica team-mates helped Matthews earn an emotional win.
Matthews said he came close to "giving up" on the Tour de France after breaking four ribs in a crash last year, and missing the 2014 race following an accident.
But his win continued Orica's impressive Tour, with Yates second in the general classification standings, 16 seconds behind Froome.
While Yates has produced some superb solo performances, Matthews was helped by team-mates Luke Durbridge and Daryl Impey as they neutralised the threat of Tinkoff's world champion Sagan.
Durbridge's pace reduced the breakaway to seven riders before he dropped out, with Impey launching several attacks in the last few kilometres.
Matthews waited until the final 200m to make his move, overtaking BMC's Greg van Avermaet and Sagan in the last 50m.
"To have won a stage after two really bad years in the Tour de France, the emotion is just sinking in," said Matthews, who has also won stages at the Giro d'Italia and Vuelta a Espana.
"I was close to giving up on this race, thinking it was maybe not for me, but today was incredible.
"It was never the plan to go in the breakaway. We were hoping for bunch sprint after the last climb but we had strong guys, and whoever is up we give them 110%. Daryl and Luke gave me everything."
Sagan overtook Cavendish in the green jersey standings after winning the intermediate sprint and finishing second to Matthews.
Cavendish, who has won three stages in this year's race, finished in the peloton and now trails Sagan by 38 points.
Sagan has won the green jersey in each of the past four years, and Manxman Cavendish, 31, said before this year's race that he cannot beat the world champion.
Cavendish, whose tally of 29 career stage wins is bettered only by Eddy Merckx's 34, could challenge for a 30th on a largely flat stage 11, which takes the riders 162.5km (101 miles) from Carcassonne to Montpellier.

Xavi, 36, is currently playing for Al Sadd SC but won 14 major honours under Guardiola at Barcelona over four years.
He told BBC World Football: "If there is one person who can change the mentality of English players, of English football, it's Pep Guardiola.
"He is one of the best coaches. He could do a big revolution."
Listen to more from Xavi on BBC World Football
Guardiola won his first 10 games in charge of City before suffering a first defeat at Tottenham before the international break.
But Xavi - who left Barcelona in 2015 after winning his fourth Champions League title to play in Qatar - has seen enough from the club's early season form to suggest that Guardiola can make a big difference.
"If you see the games of Manchester City you can see his style," Xavi said.
"As a player he was a big reference for my career, and as a coach.
"We made history with him in Barcelona. Barcelona always have the best coaches but Guardiola made a revolution; not only at Barcelona but across the world.
"When you see him on the bench you can see his passion for football. I know him and I know he can do it." | Former Barcelona midfielder Xavi believes Pep Guardiola "can change the mentality of English football" during his time at Manchester City. | 37650251 | [

The Lib Dem site was called "May & Co" - the same name as a Chelsea estate agent established in 1920.
The firm's boss, John Yianni, said he started getting abusive and "weird" phone calls when the campaign appeared on Twitter.
The Lib Dems said it was "an innocent mistake" and the site had been changed.
A party spokesman blamed an "over-enthusiastic volunteer" who had released an early version of the campaign which had not been checked.
He said the party had apologised to Mr Yianni.
The Lib Dem site is now called "Theresa May and Co" - but Mr Yianni said it was still close to the name of his company and he was concerned it was affecting his business.
"The damage has been done and it's probably going to get worse. You don't want to be politically biased in your business.
"People were saying: 'What are you doing getting into bed with them?'"
He said he had contacted Sir Vince Cable and the Lib Dem headquarters to ask for the campaign to be dropped.
"I was a Vince Cable supporter. I told him that," said Mr Yianni, who said he would not now be voting for the former business secretary.
He added: "This company has been going since the 20s. They should have just checked before they unleashed it.
"They have changed it into something slightly different thinking it's going to be OK but it's still the same."
Lib Dem candidate Sir Ed Davey earlier staged a protest against Conservative social care reforms, which the party has dubbed the "dementia tax," with "Theresa May & Co" placards.
Plans to make people receiving care at home liable for the full costs if they are worth at least £100,000 have proved controversial since they were announced in the Conservative manifesto.
Theresa May later said proposed changes to social care funding in England would include an "absolute limit" on the money people will have to pay.
She has repeatedly stressed that people will not have to sell their homes while they are alive to fund care.
Speaking at the protest, Sir Ed said there are other ways of funding social care than "setting up May & Co estate agents to come after your home". | A London estate agent has complained to the Liberal Democrats after they used the name of his company in a spoof website attacking Theresa May. | 40137641 | [

Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire MP Simon Hart says "absolute clarity and absolute accountability" is needed.
The charity has been criticised for prosecuting members of the prime minister's local Oxfordshire hunt.
The RSPCA said it was created to investigate animal cruelty and its various roles were independently run.
The charity spends £5m a year prosecuting cruelty cases, which it says accounts for just five pence in every pound donated.
Mr Hart opened a debate among MPs about the RSPCA's various roles on Tuesday.
Earlier, he told BBC Radio Wales he thinks the charity can be a prosecutor but added "if it's also a political campaigner and a commercial organisation, which it is, I think there's a danger that they will pick and choose their cases to suit their political and commercial needs.
"That wouldn't be allowed as far as any other prosecutor's concerned and I think there should be a very distinct separation between, if you like, its public interest role in bringing prosecutions and its political and commercial role.
"Because at the moment the two things are blurred."
Mr Hart said a Daily Telegraph report showed the Charity Commission had reprimanded the RSPCA for prosecuting members of David Cameron's local hunt, instructing it to review its prosecutions process.
"The RSPCA has rightly built its reputation on dealing with animal welfare issues," sad the MP.
"What I'm saying is if you're going to drag people through the court system which is expensive for them, its expensive for the nation, then there needs to be absolute clarity and absolute accountability in terms of the reasons that you brought them there."
Mr Hart added that police have to submit files to the Crown Prosecution Service for any prosecution to proceed, something designed to stop any officers "perhaps being tempted to chase a personal vendetta, or a target, or coming under pressure from the community".
He denied that his former role as chairman of the Countryside Alliance, which supports fox hunting, meant he resented the RSPCA for seeking to prosecute lawbreakers.
He said: "This is about whether a prosecuting body which is a vigorous and prolific prosecuting body can also pursue a very, very high-profile political campaign and also whether it can at the same time obviously feed its hungry mouth to the tune of £100m a year."
In a statement, the RSPCA said it was created in 1824 to investigate and prosecute animal cruelty offences in order to improve animal welfare in England and Wales.
It was also created to improve public understanding and knowledge of animal welfare and to campaign for legislative change on animal issues.
The RSPCA's prosecutions department is independent of its inspectorate and its campaigning work which ensures an objective approach when considering cases for prosecution, the statement said.
It added only five pence in every pound donated goes on prosecutions. The charity prosecutes about 1% of the incidents it is asked to investigate and has a success rate of about 98%. | A Conservative MP is calling for the RSPCA's role as a prosecutor to be separated from its political and commercial activities. | 21242392 | [

The election on the 8 June is for the Westminster parliament, rather than the assembly, but parties are now in the habit of producing a distinct document for Wales.
They may include distinctive policies for Wales which can be implemented at Westminster, and may include proposal the parties for Wales' devolved policy areas.
You can find links here to detailed guides for each party - and we have listed the key pledges from each manifesto.

Skim-reading some of these manifestos, you might think that your vote will settle issues such as health and education in Wales.
But it will not.
Wales has a system of government where a number of things are in the hands of locally elected assembly members who sit in the Welsh Assembly in Cardiff Bay.
The last assembly election took place in 2016 and the next one is currently pegged for 2021.
Broadly, areas that are devolved include:
Things that are not devolved include foreign affairs, benefits, the armed forces, big energy projects, the Severn bridges and negotiations to leave the EU.
Having said this, the money that comes to Wales to fund locally controlled services still largely comes from Westminster.
So MPs can have an effect on the overall amount of cash that is spent at Cardiff, but it is up to ministers here to decide how to spend it. | All of Wales' five main parties have published their Welsh general election manifestos. | 40064275 | [

Lennon, who managed Brown, now 31, in his four years as Celtic boss, says the midfielder's decision would boost Gordon Strachan's Scotland squad.
"It is not a surprise because I thought he retired too early," said Lennon.
"Sometimes you can make these decisions and then think you have still got plenty to offer."
Brown's return to the fold means that on Wednesday he is almost certain to be included in Strachan's squad for the World Cup qualifier against England at Wembley on 11 November.
Lennon told BBC Scotland: "I think last season his injuries took a toll on him and we didn't see the best of him but certainly this season he is looking far more like himself again and playing very well, which will be an asset to Scotland.
"I think his presence around the dressing room and training ground and certainly on the pitch will be felt if he is not there.
"He is only 31 and there is plenty more to come from him. I thought his decision was premature anyway."
Lennon does not envisage any issues with Brown returning to the squad for a game he believes Scotland can win.
"I don't know how it would affect the dynamic of the group but certainly I think it would pep it up," he added.
"It was a poor performance and result in Slovakia and it might just give them the wee jag they need, having a player of that quality back.
"The England game is one I think they can win. It will be a British style of game and there won't be anything the Scottish players will be surprised about."
Scotland assistant manager Mark McGhee, meanwhile, looked forward to the team benefiting from Brown's leadership, saying "by example and his voice and influence, (he) makes other people better".
McGhee added: "Scott Brown is someone who I would imagine, when England are looking at our squad and our team, would prefer him not to be playing.
"He looks as if he has coped better with combining the European and league campaigns. He feels good about himself and he can do both at this stage.
"I would imagine he has been revitalised by Brendan (Rodgers, the Celtic manager). I think the manager has given him a new lease of life.
"He would have made his [original] decision in an honest way. But now he has looked at it and decided it was clearly the wrong decision.
"If the other players feel that Scott Brown gives us a better chance of winning the game, they will be delighted to have him back." | Hibernian's Neil Lennon believes Scott Brown retired too soon from Scotland duty and still has plenty to offer now he has decided to return. | 37799828 | [

Developing pharmaceutical drugs is a very expensive and time-consuming business. And as AstraZeneca found out last week, disappointing drug trials can knock millions off your stock market value in a flash.
So the faster we can identify promising molecules that could be turned into viable drugs, the better.
This is why pharmaceutical companies, such as GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), Merck, Sanofi and Johnson & Johnson, are now turning to artificial intelligence (AI) to help them.
Prof Andrew Hopkins is chief executive of Exscientia, an AI-based drug discovery firm that has recently signed a £33m deal with GSK.
He claims that AI and human beings working together in so-called "centaur teams" can help identify candidate molecules in a quarter of the usual time and at a quarter of the cost.
In Greek mythology, the centaur was half human, half horse - and very powerful and fast as a result. AI is giving scientists such extra powers, Prof Hopkins believes.
Successful drug discovery relies on precise understanding of how a disease affects our biological systems, says Pamela Spence, global life sciences industry leader at consultancy firm EY.
"Once that is known, scientists then search for molecules that can selectively interact with this 'target' and reverse that disruption or slow its impact - a 'hit' molecule," she explains.
Scientists often talk of a disease as the target and the molecule as a weapon being fired a it.
But this process of drug discovery - traditionally carried out by small teams of scientists painstakingly testing each potential target and hit molecule in the hope of finding a winner - is an enormously time-consuming approach that also has a very high failure rate.
So bringing in AI is like having a research assistant who can solve problems by systematic and relentless search at incredible speeds, she says.
"What might work - and equally importantly what might not work - can be identified first by the AI supercomputer 'in silico'," she says.
This is the medical term for research carried out by computer, as opposed to "in vitro" - think test tubes - and "in vivo" - testing on animals and humans.
As carrying out human clinical trials accounts for the vast bulk of drug discovery cost, the sooner we can identify when something isn't going to work, the less money will be wasted.
"Then the physical testing can be done on a smaller number of potential new medicines... and a much higher success rate can be achieved," says Ms Spence.
Exscientia's AI algorithm crunches masses of data, from the structure of diseases to the efficacy of existing drugs, from peer-reviewed studies to observations of slides under a microscope.
And all these possibilities are narrowed down in a process Prof Hopkins likens to natural selection.
"We're not trying to rule out the uncertainty - this is messy, dirty data," he says. "There are very interesting analogies between how human creativity works and evolution."
The aim is to come up with small molecules as candidates for up to 10 disease-related targets that can then be put through clinical tests.
"Every pill you make might cost pence to manufacture, but it's actually a precision-engineered product," says Prof Hopkins, who is also chair of medicinal informatics at the UK's Dundee University.
"There's an almost infinite number of other molecules it could have been. You have to make decisions as to what one might be safe and efficacious," he says. "Most don't lead to anything."
This AI-driven approach also makes it easier to come up with molecules that can have two distinct targets. For example, a cancer drug could also improve the immune system as well as tackle the disease.
GSK is getting behind the idea and has recently set up a discovery performance unit focused on enhancing drug discovery through the use of "in silico" technology - including AI, machine learning and deep learning.
The drive is being led by John Baldoni, GSK's head of R&D.
"We have a number of these deals that we are putting in place; the one with Exscientia is probably the one that's furthest along, but we have a few others in flow and a few internal projects ourselves," he says.
"The cost of discovery from target to launch is roughly $1.7bn [£1.3bn]. The cost of what we're talking about here, from target to clinic, is about 33% of that, and it takes about five-and-a-half years.
"Our goal is to reduce that to one year, and reduce the cost commensurate with that."
AI is also finding its way into other aspects of the drug discovery process.
Benevolent AI, for example, uses natural language processing to sift through published literature, such as chemical libraries, medical databases and scientific papers, to draw conclusions about possible new drug candidates.
Earlier this year, one of its candidates for a drug to treat motor neurone disease - also known as ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) - was found to prevent the death of motor neurones in cells taken from real patients, and delayed the onset of the disease in animals.
"We are incredibly encouraged by these findings," says Benevolent AI founder and chairman Ken Mulvaney.
Patients should be encouraged, too. AI-based drug discovery promises to bring more effective, cheaper drugs on to the market much more quickly. | Scientists working in tandem with artificial intelligence (AI) could slash the time it takes to develop new drugs - and, crucially, the cost - say tech companies. | 40708043 | [

The crackdown began last month when Turkish ISPs were told to cut off the virtual private networks people use to hide where they go.
Many people are changing the way they connect to Tor to avoid the block.
Activists said the block moved Turkey's net censorship policies from "moderate" to "severe".
Tor, also known as The Onion Router, aims to conceal where people go online by using encryption and randomly bouncing requests for webpages through a network of different computers.
The system has become popular in many nations, such as China and Turkey, where governments are known to watch what people do and say online.
Now Turkey Blocks, which monitors internet censorship in the nation, said its regular monitoring of Tor showed that it was being widely blocked across the country.
The organisation started to investigate after many people in Turkey reported having problems reaching the Tor network.
It added that the Turkish government had put in place sophisticated systems at ISPs to spot when people were trying to connect to Tor.
These inspect packets of data and can pick out the distinctive signature of those that are destined for Tor.
Turkey Blocks said the Turkish government ordered firms to start blocking VPNs and Tor in early December, and has increased the pressure on firms to act by asking for weekly updates about the success of the measures.
The monitoring group said that while direct access to Tor was not working well, many people were reporting that they could still access the network if they used a bridge.
These are unofficial entry points to the Tor network which, because they are not listed in the software itself, can survive when blocks are imposed.
Turkey has a long history of cutting off access to websites and services - particularly during periods of social unrest. | Turkey has blocked direct access to the Tor anonymous browsing network as part of a wider crackdown on the ways people circumvent internet censorship. | 38365564 | [

In the US it took $204.6m (£132m) according to early estimates, making it the second biggest opening weekend ever just behind 2012's Marvel's The Avengers with $207.4m (£133.8m).
What is the secret to the film's success?
Although he spent many years in supporting roles and is best known for his comic role in cult US sitcom Parks and Recreation, Pratt has become one of Hollywood's most bankable stars in the past year.
He starred in two of 2014's top five grossing films at the US box office - The Lego Movie and Guardians of the Galaxy.
An endearing mixture of charm, vulnerability and humour means he can humanise even the most effects-laden summer blockbusters - something he proved in Marvel's Guardians, where his co-stars were a talking raccoon and a giant animated tree.
Against expectations, the film took $774m (£499m) at the global box office - making it the third highest-grossing film in 2014.
The actor didn't exactly get hit with the ugly stick, either.
There is a strict quota on the number of foreign films which can be screened in China - currently set at 34 movies a year.
But the country's film market is the world's second largest after the US so getting your film on the list can boost box office takings considerably.
Most Hollywood blockbusters do not open in China the same time as the US but unusually, Jurassic World opened in both territories the same weekend.
The film opened in 66 foreign markets in total, earning $307.2m (£198m). China accounted for $100.8m (£65m) - almost 20% of its total haul.
When Jurassic Park was released Imax screens were scarce, reserved usually for short films, documentaries and theme park novelties.
With some 800 Imax screens around the world now, the prospect of seeing dinosaurs even larger than life-size has proved to be a compelling draw.
With the added ability to see a T-Rex in 3D, it seems audiences have been happy to pay premium prices for extra spectacle - bumping up box office returns in the process.
According to box office analysts Rentrak, nearly 50% of Jurassic World's US box office came from 3D screenings.
Steven Spielberg's 1993 blockbuster Jurassic Park holds a special place in the memories of many cinema fans.
It set a new standard for CGI, and became a touchstone of 1990s cinema, capturing a generation's imagination.
"I was 12 when Jurassic Park came out and it just blew me away," Jurassic World actress Dallas Bryce Howard told the BBC.
"I remember watching it and thinking, 'I'm seeing real dinosaurs right now'. It felt so real."
"I was 13 years old and I felt the same," her co-star Chris Pratt added. "I had complete Jurassic-mania and saw it twice in one weekend."
After two sequels which failed to match the success of the original at both the box office and with critcs, fans hoped the new film would bring back the magic, thrills and horror of Spielberg's classic - and many dragged their children with them. | Jurassic World has become the first film to take more than $500m (£322m) at the global box office on its opening weekend. | 33078934 | [

Net profit at Germany's biggest lender fell 98% to €20m (£16.7m), compared with €796m for the same period in 2015.
Chief executive John Cryan said: "If the current weak economic environment persists, we will need to be yet more ambitious in the timing and intensity of our restructuring."
Revenues were down 20% to €7.4bn.
Mr Cryan, a British banker who took the helm at Deutsche last year, has embarked on an overhaul and has previously warned restructuring costs are likely to peak this year.
The impact of the shake-up was seen in restructuring charges of €207m and a writedown of €285m on its asset management business.
Deutsche Bank's value has nearly halved since the beginning of the year, with its shares having fallen 43%.
In June, the International Monetary Fund said that of the banks deemed large enough to pose a threat to the financial system should things go wrong, Deutsche Bank was the riskiest. | Deutsche Bank has warned further cost cutting might be needed as profits tumbled in the second quarter amid low interest rates and volatile markets. | 36902088 | [

The site's new owners, City & Country Group, have invited people to share their thoughts on what should happen to the 220-year-old building.
Some 320 inmates were held inside until March 2013 when it closed.
Helen Moore, from City & Country, said they wanted to deliver a new scheme which would play "a significant role in the greater regeneration" of the area.
Previous suggestions for the site, which is in the heart of the city and adjacent to Gloucester Docks, have included housing, a museum and a hotel complex. | Cells inside the redundant Gloucester Prison have been opened as part of a consultation on its future use. | 32734004 | [

A barrister for Christian-run County Antrim firm Ashers said if they lost the discrimination case there would be wide-reaching consequences for shop owners.
He said it would mean a Muslim printer could not refuse to print a cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad.
The case in Belfast was taken by gay rights activist, Gareth Lee.
He placed the order for the cake with Ashers.
No indication has been given when the judgement will be issued.
The barrister for Mr Lee told the County Court in Belfast that businesses needed to make clear in advance what they would and would not do.
He said Ashers had nothing in their terms and conditions to prevent them baking the cake which Mr Lee ordered.
Earlier, the role of the Equality Commission in the case was defended in court.
The commission has set aside a fund of up to £40,000 to pay for legal costs in the case.
It has been criticised in recent months by a number of unionist politicians over the decision to take the case.
A barrister for Mr Lee said the Commission was the "guardian" of anti-discrimination laws.
He said it was duty-bound to defend them.
"The Equality Commission has statutory duties to uphold the law," the lawyer added.
He defended the fact that an out-of-court settlement was not reached.
"It (the Commission) can never be allowed to compromise on what it believes is the law," he said.
The total cost of the case has yet to be determined.
Last week, before the case began, an Equality Commission spokesperson said: "We can confirm that £8,586.60 has been spent on this case to date.
"The final costs will be not known until the case is concluded."
Outside the court on Monday, Daniel McArthur, general manager of Ashers, said they were grateful that the case had now concluded.
"We are very thankful to all those who have supported us," he said.
"It has been a stressful time for our family but most of all we are thankful God has sustained us through it all and we now await the verdict and the outcome from the judge." | Judgement has been reserved at the end of the 'gay cake' case in Northern Ireland. | 32113360 | [

SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon said voters had "48 hours to get the Tories out".
Former Labour leader Gordon Brown, who was campaigning with Scottish Labour leader Jim Murphy, said the SNP stood for "divide and rule".
The Lib Dems said voters should stick with them and the Scottish Tories said a vote for them was a vote for the UK.
During a visit to a nursery in Livingston, West Lothian, Ms Sturgeon criticised Prime Minister David Cameron who had warned the public they risked "five long years" of a minority Labour government reliant on "bribes" to smaller parties like the SNP.
She hit back saying: "[There are] 48 hours to get the Tories out, to get an alternative to austerity and to make Scotland's voice heard.
"The fact of the matter is, if there's an anti-Tory majority on Friday morning, I want to see that anti-Tory majority come together to get the Tories out, but then make sure that it's replaced with something better.
Ms Sturgeon added: "The SNP will be a positive, constructive and progressive force in the House of Commons but will stand up very firmly for the things we believe really matter."
In Glasgow, Mr Brown urged voters to reject the SNP and join what he called Labour's fight to reach the "the mountaintop of social justice".
And he warned that the election was "not just about the future of the UK but about the very existence of the UK".
In an impassioned address, he said: "While the SNP will talk only about deals and pacts and coalitions and bargains and hung parliaments, we will talk day after day, hour after hour, in this late stage of the campaign about only one thing - to end poverty, to end unemployment, to end injustice.
"Within days and hours of getting into government, Jim Murphy could be providing money for our foodbanks and we could be ending foodbank poverty. Delivered under a Labour government, with Labour MPs - undeliverable under a Conservative government, even with 59 SNP MPs.
"And within weeks, we could be providing the resources that the health service needs: 500 doctors, 1,000 more nurses - deliverable under a Labour government with Labour MPs - undeliverable under a Conservative government with 59 SNP MPs."
Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie said he wanted his party to continue to have influence on government at Westminster.
He said: "Liberal Democrats have been at the heart of government over the last five years with 11 members of parliament in Scotland - many at the cabinet table giving a really powerful voice.
"Danny Alexander, right at the heart of the government, making it tick - delivering tax cuts, pension rise childcare expansion.
"I want that to continue, because Liberal Democrats can hold others back when they travel too fast."
While on a visit to Aviemore, Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson discussed the possible deals that could be done between parties after polls close and votes are counted.
She said: "We have said from the very start that each and every MP elected across all parts of these islands has the same rights and voting as everybody else. But it is up to individual political parties who they do a deal with.
"The Scottish Conservatives will not do deals with any nationalist parties in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland who want to break up our United Kingdom.
"Each vote for the Scottish Conservatives is a vote to keep the UK intact." | With just two days until the polling stations open, all the Scottish party leaders are warning of the risks of backing their opponents. | 32582528 | [
