At least two overcrowded boats - with many women and children on board - were towed by local fishermen to the shores of Aceh province on Sunday.
Myanmar - also known as Burma - refuses to recognise Rohingya as citizens.
Hundreds of thousands have fled persecution in recent years, often through Thailand but also by sea.
Indonesian authorities and aid agencies believe the rescued group had been at sea for about a week.
They may have been trying to reach Malaysia, said Steve Hamilton of the International Organisation for Migration.
He said on Sunday that four boats in total were thought to have come ashore.
"People thought they were in Malaysia, it [turned out] they were in Indonesia. They were left behind by the smugglers."
Aceh provincial rescue chief Budiawan told AFP news agency on Sunday: "We received a report from fishermen this morning that there were boat people stranded."
"We despatched teams there and evacuated 469 migrants who are Rohingya from Myanmar and Bangladeshis. So far, all of them are safe."
North Aceh police chief Achmadi said at least 50 of the rescued people were taken to hospital.
"In general, they were suffering from starvation and many were very thin."
One migrant, Rashid Ahmed, told the Associated Press he was a Rohingya and had left Myanmar's Rakhine state three months ago with his son.
"We had nothing to eat. All we could do was pray," he said.
Rohingya Muslims have been fleeing sectarian violence in Myanmar for many years.
In December, the UN passed a resolution urging Myanmar to give access to citizenship for the Rohingya, many of whom are classed as stateless.
The organisation estimates some 25,000 Rohingya and Bangladeshis have boarded smugglers' boats between January and March this year, double the amount as over the same period last year. | Nearly 600 people believed to be Bangladeshis and Rohingya Muslims from Myanmar have been rescued from boats drifting in Indonesian waters. | 32680911 | [

Richard Davies, 41, died of a single gunshot wound to the chest after firing at officers in St Neots, Cambridgeshire, in October 2015.
His widow Samantha said she had a text from her child saying they were tied up and begging her to "call the police".
Mr Davies was shot after firing a gun from the house. The inquest continues.
The father of three said he "wanted to end his life" after learning his marriage was over, the hearing in Peterborough was told earlier this week.

Giving evidence at the hearing, Mrs Davies said she had initially believed her husband had "some acceptance" about the end of their relationship and said "there wasn't an ounce of anger" during their conversation earlier that day.
However, he had made several trips to a nearby shop to buy alcohol and had been carrying a knife, the inquest heard.
Mrs Davies went to visit her sister and when her children returned to the family home their father tied them up.
The inquest then heard how the children managed to make 999 calls and alert their mother.
She received a text that read: "Call the police. Get them to come to our house. Dad's going to kill himself. He's tied us up. I'm not joking."
When Mrs Davies arrived, one child had managed to escape.
She said when Mr Davies came to the door "he didn't really look like my husband".
He returned a short time later with a knife pointed at his chest, she told the hearing.
Her other children managed to escape and Mrs Davies was taken to a neighbour's house.
Mr Davies was shot dead by a police marksman after firing six shots from the house, the inquest heard.
Mrs Davies said she had never seen his home-made gun or ammunition before, and her family was "forever changed" by what happened.
The inquest continues. | The widow of a man shot dead by police has told an inquest of a desperate text sent by one of their children saying "dad's going to kill himself". | 40533502 | [

It was back in 2008, and James Watt and Martin Dickie's then tiny brewery at Fraserburgh, north-east Scotland, was little over a year old and struggling.
Selling their US-style craft beers from the back of their van at farmers' markets, they were missing payments on their £20,000 ($30,000) bank loan.
"We were selling a couple of cases on a good day, and losing money," says Mr Watt, now 32.
And then they decided to enter a bottled beer competition organised by supermarket group Tesco. BrewDog won first, second, third, and fourth place.
"So we went down to Tesco's headquarters [just north of London], and they told us they loved our beer and wanted to put us in 500 shops, buying 2,000 cases a week," says Mr Watt.
"We put on our best poker faces and said 'no problem'. Yet we were just two guys filling bottles by hand."
With Tesco wanting first deliveries in four months' time, Mr Watt and Mr Dickie, also now 32, went to their bank to ask for another £150,000, so they could quickly install a bottling line, and expand production.
But failing to meet the payments on their existing loan, the bank said a firm "no".
So the business partners went to another lender, and lied.
Mr Watt says: "We said that our bank had offered us an amazing deal, but that if you can match it we'll switch, and they went for it. You have got to do what you have to do."
With BrewDog now being able to increase its brewing facilities, it was able to start supplying Tesco on time with bottles of its Punk IPA.
The beer was an immediate hit, and the other UK supermarkets soon followed suit.
Fast forward to 2014, and BrewDog is due to see its turnover top £32m this year.
It employs 357 people, and as well as continuing to supply the likes of Tesco UK-wide, it owns 25 bars, 18 across the UK, and seven abroad.
And now based at a larger brewery down the road in the town of Ellon, it exports to 52 countries.
Childhood friends who grew up in the Scottish town of Peterhead, Mr Watt and Mr Dickie started brewing beer together as a hobby in their early 20s.
At the time Mr Watt was working as a deep sea fisherman, while Mr Dickie was a whisky distiller.
From the very start they were inspired to brew American-style craft beers - sweet-tasting ales with high alcohol levels and very large amounts of US hops, which gave them a bold, fruity, even perfumed flavour.
They are very Marmite beers in that you either love them or hate them. To fans they are flavoursome and interesting, to critics they are undrinkable.
Yet, confident they could convert drinkers, and after some good reviews, Mr Watt and Mr Dickie decided to quit their day jobs and start brewing professionally in 2007.
"Even though the first year was tough, we never lost faith in what we were doing," says Mr Watt. "We were hell-bent... we were stupidly ambitious."
In addition to the bold flavours, the two men also worked hard on creating an irreverent brand image for BrewDog, giving their beers fun names, and bright, colourful labels. Some of their other brews are called Dead Pony Pale Ale, Dogma and Hardcore IPA.
Expansion has been made possible after the business raised £7m via crowdfunding, with 15,000 people paying £95 for a stake in the company. In return they get discounts in BrewDog's bars, and other perks.
In more controversial matters, Mr Watt and Mr Dickie have also regularly - and enthusiastically - attacked regulators and industry bodies. Their critics say they do so simply to garner publicity, but Mr Watt says they are merely sticking up for themselves.
Earlier this year the Portman Group, the UK drinks industry trade body that promotes responsible drinking, criticised BrewDog, saying that the label of the brewery's Dead Pony Pale Ale promoted anti-social behaviour and binge drinking.
BrewDog's response at the time was as follows: "Unfortunately, the Portman Group is a gloomy gaggle of killjoy jobsworths, funded by navel-gazing international drinks giants."
When contacted by the BBC for this article, a spokesman for the Portman Group said: "BrewDog's business model has traditionally used complaints by the public as a PR opportunity for their brands.
"BrewDog and the Portman Group have a long history... we don't expect them to like us, but we were pleased to see they have started relabeling their products."
There are no hard and fast rules on what makes a "craft beer". However, typically it is a natural beer made by a small brewery, often with large amounts of pungent hops and a marked sweetness from the barley malt
So what is the difference between "craft beer" and "real ale"? Unlike craft beer, real ale - as determined by UK pressure group Campaign For Real Ale - has to be unpasteurised and unfiltered. Real ale also more often has a drier flavour.
Craft beer is also typically served well chilled and carbonated, whereas real ales are served less cold and have no added gas
Yet, like lager (which itself can be a craft beer or real ale), they share the same basic four ingredients - malted barley, hops, yeast and water. In all cases other ingredients can be added on top, such as different grains
A similar dispute that BrewDog had in 2013 with the UK's advertising watchdog, the ASA, saw Mr Watt call the officials "killjoy, self-important pen pushers".
BrewDog has also been criticised for selling some beers with exceptionally high alcohol rates, such as a limited edition ale that was 55% alcohol.
Mr Watt says that he and Mr Dickie - who together own a 75% share of the business - remain unrepentant, and simply "make beers that we want to drink ourselves".
Mr Watt adds that BrewDog's products are bought by beer aficionados, and priced at a premium. He says that if someone is going to abuse alcohol they will be the cheaper, mass market beers that give drinkers "maximum bang for their buck".
With exports now making up 65% of sales, Mr Watt says they have no plans to slow down the fast-paced growth.
"My worry is that we aren't growing fast enough," he says. | When the founders of popular but controversial beer company BrewDog needed a second bank loan to enable them to expand production, their tactic was a simple one - lie through their teeth. | 30376484 | [

Ahead of a Westminster debate on the abuse faced by MPs, Labour claimed the Tories had run a "negative, nasty campaign" targeting shadow home secretary Diane Abbott in particular.
It comes after Theresa May suggested Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn had not done enough to condemn abuse.
The PM has called for parties to unite against "bullying and harassment".
Since last month's general election, attention has focused on abuse suffered by MPs from across the political spectrum, including Tory Sheryll Murray who said she had faced social media comments like "burn the witch".
On Saturday, Labour MP Yvette Cooper said some of her party's supporters had targeted female Conservative MPs - as well as Labour members - with "vitriolic abuse".
But ahead of the Parliamentary debate, Labour has levelled accusations against the Tories in a letter to Conservative Party chairman Sir Patrick McLoughlin from his Labour counterpart Ian Lavery and Cat Smith, shadow minister for voter engagement.
"Parties and politicians have a responsibility to set an example, by treating others with dignity and respect, including those with whom we strongly disagree," they wrote.
"The Conservative Party has instead promoted personal attacks as a core component of its national campaign.
"Abuse against candidates on social media is completely unacceptable. The Conservative Party perpetrated this on an industrial scale by spending millions of pounds to post highly personalised and nasty attack adverts on voters' Facebook timelines without their permission."
They claimed Labour "fought a positive, hopeful campaign" and insisted that all its MPs ran campaigns based on its policies rather than personal attacks.
On Monday, Mrs May - asked whether Mr Corbyn was doing enough in response to complaints of intimidation - said she was "surprised at any party leader who's not willing to condemn that".
Conservative Simon Hart has secured Wednesday afternoon's Westminster Hall debate on "the abuse and intimidation of candidates and the public in UK elections".
Speaking on the BBC's Daily Politics on Tuesday, Mr Hart said there had been a clear change in attitudes towards MPs and campaigners between the 2015 and 2017 general elections.
People wanting to publicly support candidates were being "driven away from politics at a time when we need them" he said.
"This extends way beyond the so-called bullying of MPs, this is about online bullying generally," he said, claiming there had been a "deafening silence" from political leaders.
Mr Hart claimed the emergence of Jeremy Corbyn-backing grassroots organisation Momentum had played a "significant part" in this shift.
But Momentum dismissed his accusation as "baseless".
"If we are going to tackle the abuse MPs from across the political spectrum face, Simon Hart and other Conservative MPs should stop making baseless accusations for which they offer no proof, and instead think about how we can work together to find a solution," a spokesman for the group said. | Labour has accused the Conservatives of putting "vitriolic personal attacks" at the heart of their election campaign. | 40577325 | [

The international anti-corruption summit - the first of its kind - is aimed at exposing, punishing and drive out global corruption.
Political leaders, businesses, sporting organisations, and charities will meet at Lancaster House on Thursday.
Mr Cameron says corruption is "the root of so many of the world's problems".
He also described it as "an enemy of progress".
"It destroys jobs and holds back economic growth, traps the poorest in desperate poverty, and undermines our security by pushing people towards extremist groups," he added.
"The battle against corruption will not be won overnight. It will take time, courage and determination to deliver the reforms that are necessary. But we cannot hope to solve the major global challenges we face without tackling the exploitation, fraud and dishonesty at their heart.
"For too long there has been a taboo about tackling this issue head-on. The summit will change that. Together we will push the fight against corruption to the top of the international agenda where it belongs."
Among the world leaders attending the summit are presidents Ashraf Ghani of Afghanistan, Juan Manuel Santos of Colombia and Muhammadu Buhari of Nigeria, and Norwegian prime minister Erna Solberg.
Russia is to be represented by deputy foreign minister Oleg Syromolotov.
Panellists are expected to include World Bank president Jim Yong Kim and International Monetary Fund's managing director Christine Lagarde.
Under the prime minister's plans, leaders at the summit would pledge to expose corruption and pursue and punish those who perpetrate, facilitate or are complicit in it.
Campaigners have also called for a crackdown on tax havens linked to the United Kingdom. The recent Panama Papers leak showed how some wealthy people use offshore firms to evade tax and avoid sanctions.
A Downing Street spokesman said: "We are in discussions with the Overseas Territories and Crown dependencies with major financial centres about their attendance, and expect a number to join the summit."
Robert Barrington, of anti-corruption campaigners Transparency International, said: "The prime minister is creating a platform for governments that are serious about fighting corruption to make really significant changes and set the agenda for a generation to come.
"What is key now is that other governments are persuaded to sign up to ambitious targets and that the UK government does not give in to the usual last minute attempts by less committed countries to water down the summit's ambitions". | Prime Minister David Cameron has said he wants to put tackling corruption at the "top of the international agenda" ahead of a London summit on the issue. | 36239958 | [

Andrew Travers left the authority by "mutual agreement" after the error, officials said.
Voters were initially turned away from all 155 polling stations in the borough because their names were missing from the poll list.
An independent investigation has been launched, the council said.
In a statement issued through the council, Mr Travers said: "I have enjoyed my time at Barnet and I believe the changes we have put in place and the continued programme of growth and transformation will enable the borough to continue to thrive."
A council spokesperson said Mr Travers had "made a valuable contribution to the council during his three and half years as chief executive."
Deputy chief executive John Hooton will take over temporarily while longer term arrangements are put in place, the council said.
On election day, staff at one station said just three of the first 30 voters to show up were on the register. The rest were told to come back later.
Barnet Council apologised for the problems and later offered emergency proxy votes to residents who had been affected.
But voters in the area questioned how the result could be "fair" when not everyone was able to have their say at the ballot box.
A statement released by Mr Travers on Thursday blamed electoral registration lists for the problems.
The council's review will conclude by the end of May and the findings will be presented publicly to the General Functions Committee.
It will look at the "appropriateness" of arrangements in place for the EU Referendum in June.
A spokesman said it was currently in discussions to establish who would lead the investigation. | The chief executive of Barnet Council has left his role after a blunder led to some voters being turned away from polling stations on Thursday. | 36249926 | [

Leinster fly-half Sexton was injured in Saturday's Pro12 final defeat by Connacht and requires surgery.
Full-back Rob Kearney has a hamstring injury with his brother Dave, a winger, ruled out by a torn calf muscle.
Ian Madigan, Craig Gilroy and uncapped Connacht duo Tiernan O'Halloran and Matt Healy have all been called up.
With Munster's Simon Zebo already missing the tour, Ulster's Jared Payne looks in line to be switched from his regular centre role to full-back.
Payne has played at full-back for most of his career but was moved to centre by Ireland coach Joe Schmidt to help fill the midfield void left following Brian O'Driscoll's retirement.
Connacht's O'Halloran will be the other full-back option in Schmidt's squad.
Bordeaux-bound Madigan was a notable omission from Schmidt's initial squad but Sexton's absence means a reprieve for the former Leinster fly-half.
"We initially hoped it [Sexton's injury] could be managed but it will require surgery," said Schmidt, who added the fly-half will be ruled out for three months.
While Sexton's injury has meant a call up for Madigan, Ulster's Paddy Jackson now looks in position to start in the First Test in Cape Town on Saturday week.
Wing Luke Fitzgerald, Sexton's club-mate, was ruled out of the tour earlier this week after also being injured in the Pro12 decider.
Schmidt already has a long list of absentees, which includes backs Zebo and Tommy Bowe, and forwards Cian Healy, Denis Buckley, Nathan White, Sean O'Brien, Peter O'Mahony and Josh van der Flier.
Despite the injuries, Schmidt believes his side can still strongly challenge the Springboks.
"My expectation is that the players will work hard, they'll unite really effectively under [captain] Rory Best's leadership and that we will be competitive," said the Ireland coach.
"Whether that's enough, we'll find out on the 11th, 18th and 25th of June (the dates for the three Tests)."
Ireland, who have never won in South Africa, face the Springboks in the first Test in Cape Town on 11 June, with the sides meeting again over the following two weekends in Johannesburg and Port Elizabeth.
The three June Tests will influence rankings for the 2019 World Cup.
Forwards: Finlay Bealham (Connacht), Rory Best (Ulster), Sean Cronin (Leinster), Ultan Dillane (Connacht), Tadgh Furlong (Leinster), Jamie Heaslip (Leinster), Iain Henderson (Ulster), David Kilcoyne (Munster), Jack McGrath (Leinster), Jordi Murphy (Leinster), Sean Reidy (Ulster), Mike Ross (Leinster), Quinn Roux (Connacht), Rhys Ruddock (Leinster), Donnacha Ryan (Munster), CJ Stander (Munster), Richardt Strauss (Leinster), Devin Toner (Leinster).
Backs: Keith Earls (Munster), Robbie Henshaw (Connacht), Paddy Jackson (Ulster), Matt Healy (Connacht), Tiernan O'Halloran (Connacht), Ian Madigan (Bordeaux), Craig Gilroy (Ulster), Kieran Marmion (Connacht), Luke Marshall (Ulster), Conor Murray (Munster), Stuart Olding (Ulster), Jared Payne (Ulster), Eoin Reddan (Leinster), Andrew Trimble (Ulster). | Johnny Sexton is out of Ireland's tour to South Africa because of a shoulder injury while brothers Rob and Dave Kearney will also miss the Test series. | 36433578 | [

Justin Welby made the announcement after a meeting of primates from the Anglican Communion in Canterbury.
In the UK, an act of Parliament passed in 1928 allowed for Easter Sunday to be fixed on the first Sunday after the second Saturday in April.
However, this has never been activated and Easter has remained variable, determined by the moon's cycle.
Easter is the most important Christian festival, as it celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ following his death by crucifixion on Good Friday.
The archbishop said he was in talks with Pope Francis, Coptic leader Pope Tawadros, and the leader of the Orthodox church Patriarch Bartholomew.
Mr Welby said he hoped the change would happen "in between five and 10 years time".
"I would love to see it before I retired", he said, although he warned the first attempt to make such a change was in the 10th Century.
An Anglican source told the BBC there had been 15 attempts to agree a common date since then.
Easter is on the first Sunday after the first ecclesiastical full moon following the spring equinox, meaning it can be celebrated on a Sunday between 22 March and 25 April.
But the Orthodox church follows the Julian calendar, hence has later Easter celebrations compared with those of Western Christianity.
In 1990, the Vatican approved a proposal for a fixed date, which was subject to agreement with other Christian churches and governments. It has not yet been reached. | The Archbishop of Canterbury is working with other Christian churches to agree on a fixed date for Easter. | 35326237 | [

It comes after Swansea City FC's American owners revealed they are in talks with the council over increasing capacity at the ground.
The Swans want to add 12,000 seats but shelved expansion plans in December when talks to buy the ground from the authority stalled.
Since then, the club has been taken over by American investors.
Council leader Rob Stewart said: "We're pleased they reached a deal to buy the club," he said. "We want the club to go from strength to strength.
"The offer is still there and we're still open to the option of them procuring the stadium or going for a commercial deal with them expanding the stadium.
"We would be interested to see what the the American investors prefer."
The 21,000-capacity ground, which Swansea share with Ospreys rugby region, is the second smallest in the Premier League behind Bournemouth's Vitality Stadium.
Swansea have averaged crowds of about 20,500 in their last five Premier League seasons.
The club initially wants to increase capacity to 33,000 but the ultimate vision is to expand the stadium to 40,000 seats.
Last month, Swansea chairman Huw Jenkins said the club "has to make sure the council is on board" with the plans.
But Mr Stewart said the council had not recently commented on the proposals in order to allow the takeover by Jason Levien and Steve Kaplan to be completed. | Swansea council's leader is optimistic progress can be made during talks about expanding the Liberty Stadium. | 37129719 | [

Police said the 29-year-old man was attacked at the Gorbals venue's Island Bar at about 01:30.
He was taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital but was released after treatment.
His attacker was white, in his late teens to early 20s, between 5ft 7in and 6ft tall, with short, dark hair. He was wearing a white polo shirt and light-coloured knee-length shorts.
Det Con Lee-Anne Miller, of Police Scotland, said: "The injured man was standing in the bar area when he became involved in an altercation with the suspect which then led to a fight in which he was stabbed.
"Thankfully no-one else was injured but with the number of people about, this could have escalated quite easily.
"We are working with staff from the venue, who quickly stepped in to stop the fight, and we are checking CCTV inside the premises to identify the person responsible for the attack."
She added: "The gig was packed at the time of the assault and a number of people have been spoken to regarding what they saw, however, I am still keen that anyone who witnessed the incident contact police." | A man has been stabbed in a bar at the 02 Academy in Glasgow. | 37205706 | [

Midfielder Garrett scored in the 3-1 victory at Shamrock Park but should not have been on the pitch.
Ards have now been handed the win on a 3-0 scoreline and move up to seventh in the league, with the Ports now eight points adrift at the foot of the table.
The matter was discussed by an Irish FA Disciplinary Committee on Wednesday.
According to the IFA website, Garrett was to serve a one-match ban, effective from Monday 24 October, but Portadown say they understood that the suspension was to commence a week later.
A statement released by the IFA on Thursday morning said the sanction had been imposed for a breach of Article 22.1 of the Disciplinary Code "following consideration of Portadown's written comments".
"The Committee was satisfied that Portadown knew or ought to have known the current rules with regard to suspensions," read the statement.
The issue of Garrett's eligibility was raised by Ards prior to the Premiership game between the sides and formally brought to the attention of the IFA by the Northern Ireland Football League.
The result at Shamrock Park was Portadown's fourth win of season, meaning they would have wiped out the 12-point deduction imposed before the start of the season.
They are now on minus-three points. | Portadown have forfeited the points they won by beating Ards on Saturday and been fined £350 for playing Robert Garrett while he was suspended. | 37862904 | [

University College London researchers found just 51% of the 6,500 children they monitored achieved the recommended hour of physical activity each day.
For girls, the figure was just 38%, compared with 63% for boys.
Half of the group also spent more than six hours being sedentary each day, although some of this would be spent in class, the researchers acknowledged.
The study, published in the online journal BMJ Open, found levels of activity varied among groups.
For example, children of Indian origin and those living in Northern Ireland were among the least physically active with 43% achieving the recommended levels, compared to 53% in Scotland.
But the most marked difference was between girls and boys.
Researchers said this suggested there needed to be a focus on making sport and other activities more attractive to girls.
Prof Carol Dezateux, one of the lead authors, said: "There is a big yawning gap between girls and boys. We need to really think about how we are reaching out to girls.
"The school playground is an important starting point. Often you will find it dominated by boys playing football."
But she said there should still be concern about the activity levels across the board.
"The findings are particularly worrying because seven-year-olds are likely to become less active as they get older, not more."
To achieve the one hour recommendation children have to take part in moderate or vigorous activity, which includes everything from brisk walking and cycling to playing football and running.
The UCL research is not the first to suggest children are not active enough, but most previous studies have relied on self-reporting by children or parents estimating levels of exercise, whereas the latest one involved real-time monitoring.
During the study, which took place during 2008 and 2009, youngsters wore an accelerometer to measure exercise levels which was attached to an elastic belt around their waist. It was removed only when bathing or when the children went to bed.
In total, the experts were able to record more than 36,000 days of data based on the children wearing the accelerometer for at least 10 hours a day over the course of a week.
Dr John Middleton, of the Faculty of Public Health, said more research was needed into why certain groups were less active.
"We need our children to grow up to be fit and healthy adults, not just because it's what any civilised society would want for its children, but it's also best for our economy too," he added.
Dr Ann Hoskins, of Public Health England, agreed.
She said: "This study highlights that there is still much to do to keep children and young people active as they grow older, especially girls.
"The new school year is the perfect time to make healthy changes, swapping short car or bus journeys with walking or scooting to school." | Half of all UK seven-year-olds do not do enough exercise, with girls far less active than boys, a study suggests. | 23778945 | [

Paul Robson is the second trader at the Dutch bank to plead guilty to trying to rig the Yen Libor rate and the first Briton to do so.
Last year Rabobank paid $1bn (£597m) to US and European regulators for its part in the global rate-rigging scandal.
Barclays Bank, Royal Bank of Scotland and Lloyds Bank have all previously been fined for rate rigging.
Mr Robson conspired to manipulate Libor submissions to benefit trading positions between 2006 and 2011, the US Department of Justice said.
Libor - London interbank offered rate - is one of the interest rates use by global banks to lend money to each other. It supports hundreds of trillions of dollars of transactions, and is used to set interest rates on credit cards, student loans and mortgages.
Regulators in the US and Europe have been investigating whether banks attempted to manipulate this and other key interest rates to benefit their own trading positions.
Nine people, including Robson, have so far been charged by the Justice Department.
US prosecutors said Robson pleaded guilty to one charge out of the 15 he had faced.
Takayuki Yagami, another former senior trader at Rabobank, in June became the first to plead guilty for his role in the scheme.
Robson worked as a senior trader at Rabobank's money markets desk in London, and also served as the bank's primary submitter for the Yen Libor calculation, the Justice Department said.
He used his position to submit rates requested by Yagami and other traders, according to prosecutors.
In 2007 Yagami asked Robson by email for a high submission for one of the rates, Robson answered: "no prob mate let me know your level."
After Yagami made his request, according to the Justice Department, Robson confirmed: "sure no prob... I'll probably get a few phone calls but no worries mate... there's bigger crooks in the market than us guys!"
In a statement Leslie Caldwell, who heads the Justice Department's criminal division, said: "The scope of the fraud was massive, but the scheme was simple. By illegally influencing the Libor rates, Robson and his co-conspirators rigged the markets to ensure that their trades made money,"
In July Lloyds Banking Group was fined £218m for "serious misconduct" for its part in interest rate rigging.
Lloyds manipulated both the yen and sterling Libor rates and tried to rig the rate for the US dollar, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and US financial regulators said.
At the time Bank of England governor Mark Carney called the misconduct "reprehensible". | A former senior trader at Rabobank has pleaded guilty to interest rate rigging in the US. | 28848837 | [

Chief Secretary to the Treasury Danny Alexander, former Lib Dem leader Charles Kennedy and John Thurso were beaten by the SNP.
The turnout for the constituencies involved exceeded 70%.
The SNP's Angus MacNeil held his seat in Na h-Eileanan an Iar - which covers the Western Isles - with 54% of the votes.
Mr Kennedy, who lost Ross, Skye and Lochaber to Ian Blackford, said the 2015 election's defeat of Lib Dems and Labour in Scotland would become known as the "night of the long sgian dubhs".
The former Lib Dem leader said: "I am very fond of political history and tonight, if nothing else, we can all consider and reflect in years to come, and perhaps tell our grandchildren, we were there the night of the long sgian dubhs."
His opponent Mr Blackford said the election in Scotland had not been about last year's referendum, but about "sending MPs from Scotland who will stand up for" Scotland's interests.
In Inverness, Nairn, Badenoch and Strathspey, Highland Council leader Drew Hendry gained almost 29,000 votes, a rise of more than 31% on the party's 2010 result to defeat Mr Alexander.
Mr Alexander said he had polled about as many votes as he had in 2010 but they had not been enough to get him re-elected.
He said the Liberal Democrats should hold their heads high for what they achieved in government, but conceded that "clearly we have a lot of rebuilding to do".
Mr Alexander added: "The flame of Highland liberalism will keep burning and our job is to burn brighter in years to come."
Lord Thurso lost Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross, a seat he had held since 2001, to the SNP's Paul Monaghan who won 46% of the vote.
The SNP's Mr MacNeil said his job now was to fight for the needs of the Western Isles and help his party's desire to end austerity. | High profile Liberal Democrats have lost three strongholds in the Highlands and Islands. | 32649395 | [

Highways England wants turn the hard shoulder into an extra lane between junction three by Heathrow Airport and junction 12 at Theale to tackle periods of heavy congestion.
The scheme, costing up to £862m, will improve traffic flow and ensure "less stressful driving", supporters say.
Opponents claim it will increase congestion and affect the environment.
The motorways are called "smart" because technology will be installed to monitor traffic, provide information to drivers, and ease congestion by using variable speed limits and utilising the hard shoulder.
"Emergency Refuge Areas" will be put in place every 2.5 km (1.6 miles) so drivers can come off the hard shoulder and await recovery.
The first one was introduced on the M42 near Birmingham in 2006 and there is now also one on the stretch of M4/M5 near Bristol.
Chief scientist Alan Stevens at the Transport Research Laboratory in Crowthorne, which carries out modelling for the smart motorways, said: "They help the traffic go better, drivers get shorter and more predictable journeys and less stressful driving.
"We did a lot of modelling work and put people into driving simulators to see how they would respond, and actually we found no problems at all."
John Booth from Reading Friends of the Earth said smart motorways are not the solution to congestion.
"The reason they're doing this is they want to cater for more traffic on the motorway and will encourage more traffic growth, and that will have a knock on effect on air quality, on climate change emissions, on noise and on congestion on the non-motorway network," he said.
Following written representations for six months and a three-month public reaction period, the decision will be down to Transport Secretary Patrick McLaughlin. | A planning inquiry is under way to create a "smart motorway" along the M4 in Berkshire. | 34151430 | [

Reports on Friday had indicated that search teams found survivors six days after the aircraft crashed.
But the country's minister for communication later said the message had been put out before it was confirmed.
Thirteen people, including civilians, were on board the Mi-17V-5 helicopter.
One of them was a four-year-old child.
Venezuela's defence minister tweeted a picture of soldiers around a map on Saturday, adding that the search continued with "optimism and faith" despite adverse conditions.
The weather in southern Venezuela, where the helicopter crashed, is currently cloudy and stormy with heavy rain. | Officials in Venezuela say the search for a missing military helicopter is continuing in the country's Amazon region. | 38549036 | [

The south will have three teams, with one based at The Oval with Surrey, who pipped a joint bid by Middlesex and the MCC for the one London spot.
There will also be a team based in the south west and another in Hampshire.
The north will have two sides, in Lancashire and Yorkshire, while the Midlands team for the Twenty20 league will be at Loughborough University.
Loughborough is also the long-term base of the England women's team.
All six hosts have been awarded hosting rights for a four-year period from 2016-2019.
The tournament will be played in a Twenty20 format this season, before adding a 50-over competition in the future.
The group stage of the 2016 competition will run from 30 July to 14 August, with the top four teams qualifying for a finals day.
Further details, including team names, will be revealed at a later date.

Asad Khan, from Bradford, died three weeks after starting at Beckfoot Upper Heaton School in the city.
His mother, Farheen Khan, found her son after forcing her way into his locked bedroom on September 28. He died in hospital a short time later.　
His family maintain he had been bullied.
Bradford Coroner's Court heard Asad had told a boy - who cannot be identified - a number of things, including that he felt "unsafe" in school and was "going to skive for a very long time."
Coroner Martin Fleming heard on another occasion, Asad told the boy: "Life is unfair. I would say it's 90 to 95 per cent life is hard".
Mr Fleming said he would now consider whether to call the boy in person to give evidence.
The inquest will resume next month. | An 11-year-old boy told another pupil he felt "unsafe" in his new school on the day he was found hanged, an inquest hearing has been told. | 39936200 | [

Vikki Thompson, 21, died at HMP Leeds on 13 November. She had been awaiting sentencing for robbery.
Her partner Bob Steele said the letter should have alerted officials to her apparent distress, and added he had been "robbed of the love of my life".
A Prison Service spokesman said an inquiry into her death is ongoing.
In the letter, seen by BBC Look North, Ms Thompson said: "I just feel like I don't want to be here no more."
She signed off the letter saying: "I'm going now because I can't stop crying."
A post-mortem examination found the cause of Ms Thompson's death was thought to be hanging.
At the opening of an inquest into her death it was revealed Ms Thompson was considered to be "at risk of self-harm" and was being monitored regularly.
Mr Steele said: "She didn't like being in there. She hated it, people saying things to her.
"She was moved onto a wing with people who were sex offenders, and she had been abused as a child.
"She's wrote this letter and numerous other letters implying she's going to harm herself. She's told them she's going to harm herself. Why did they allow it to happen?
"I think the prison have robbed me of the love of my life."
Following Ms Thompson's death, Minister for Prisons Andrew Selous said a review of the policy relating to the care of transgender prisoners had begun earlier this year.
A Prison Service spokesperson said: "There is an investigation under way by the independent prison and probation ombudsman as well as an inquest into her death.
"It would be inappropriate to comment further while these are ongoing." | A transgender woman found dead in a men's prison wrote to her partner just days before her death saying "I don't think I can last very long in here". | 35113504 | [

The remains may be part of a massive emergency burial pit where thousands of plague victims were left 600 years ago.
Lead archaeologist Jay Carver says the find "solves a 660-year-old mystery".
"This discovery is a hugely important step forward in documenting and understanding Europe's most devastating pandemic," he said. | Skeletons unearthed in London Crossrail excavations have been found to be Black Death victims from the great disease of the 14th Century. | 26807940 | [

Ospreys players Olly Cracknell, De Kock Steenkamp, Dan Baker, Dafydd Howells and Sam Parry joined collectors in Baglan Moors on Tuesday.
The players said it was to show their commitment to the "Ospreylian community".
Last week they took part in collections in Swansea and Bridgend.
Cracknell said: "It was an early start but a great work-out for us this morning.
"A huge thanks to the recycling teams for showing us the ropes, they do a great job every day and we've enjoyed getting involved and giving a hand." | They are more familiar with recycling the ball than rubbish but five rugby players took a break from the pitch to collect refuse in Neath Port Talbot. | 34458097 | [

Three men targeted the driver as he made a delivery in Willow Grove, Livingston at 22:30 on Thursday.
They hit him with a golf club in a stairwell, then stole the food he was delivering and tried to steal his cash.
The 32-year-old victim suffered a minor facial injury and called police, who are appealing for witnesses.
Det Con Craig Waddell, of Police Scotland, said: "Thankfully, the victim did not sustain serious injuries during this opportunistic attack and we are conducting local inquiries in the area to identify those responsible.
"Anyone who recognises the description of these men and can help trace them is asked to contact police immediately.
"In addition, anyone who remembers seeing anything suspicious in Willow Grove on Thursday evening should also get in touch."
All three thieves are white, in their 30s, of medium build with Scottish accents.
One of the men is between 6ft and 6ft 2ins and was wearing a white T-shirt.
Another is about 5ft 10ins with medium-length, spiked, light hair and he was wearing a dark shirt. He also had a golf club.
The third attacker is about 5ft 10ins with a front tooth missing. He was wearing a grey hooded top with the hood up. | A chip shop takeaway driver has been attacked with a golf club and robbed of the food he was delivering in West Lothian. | 33565781 | [

The Tigers trailed 12-4 at the break after tries from Mark Percival and Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook.
However, Cas, for whom debutant Kieran Gill scored in the first half, reduced the deficit through Mike McMeeken.
Tom Holmes crossed to secure a seventh straight victory for Daryl Powell's side.
Second-placed Salford Red Devils were beaten 34-24 at home by Wakefield.
Powell, whose side played three games in nine days last week, made several changes, following the lead of other Super League coaches this weekend as he described their schedule as "a nonsense" and "appalling".
In contrast, Saints, who went into the game after a nine-day rest, will be disappointed they did not do more with the pressure they had at the start of the second half when leading by eight points.
Cas return to action with a home game against struggling Warrington next Sunday, while Saints host improving Widnes on Friday.
Castleford coach Daryl Powell:
"It's one of the biggest wins I've been involved in.
"For a team that had been played about with to roll into a game against opposition that had a significant rest period on us and a full-strength team and come out with that kind of performance was awesome.
"We had to dig in right at the end and the amount of scrambled tackles to keep them out shows the character we've got.
"What we've become as a club is we've got genuine depth and belief that we've got something special here."
St Helens coach Justin Holbrook:
"We knew it was going to be a tough game and it would have been great to win. To fall just short is very disappointing.
"Castleford obviously weren't at full strength but they haven't lost here for a reason. They're a very good footy side and they showed that again today.
"But it was a missed opportunity. They had the luxury to rest a few today because of where they are sitting in the table and they earned that.
"For us to fall just short, it's really costly for where we're sitting in the table.
"It was disappointing we didn't get the win but I'm really happy with the squad and we came really close today. It's important we just move on to next week."
Castleford: Eden; Gill, Webster, Monaghan, Minikin; Roberts, T Holmes; Lynch, McShane, Massey, Foster, Larroyer, Sene-Lefao.

The song topped the UK singles charts in February 1969 and remained number one for four weeks.
It was also number one in many other countries and won the Ivor Novello award for best song composition.
He died peacefully after a six-year battle with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, a family statement said.
The statement said his closest family were "with him to the last" and that many people would miss his songs and his music.
Where Do You Go To (My Lovely), a song about a girl born in poverty who becomes a member of the European jet-set, was replaced as number one by Marvin Gaye's I Heard it Through the Grapevine.
It was included in the compilation programme One-Hit Wonders at the BBC, which was broadcast on BBC Four last year, although Sarstedt also reached number 10 in the charts with Frozen Orange Juice in June 1969.
He wrote more than a dozen albums in a career that spanned more than 50 years, releasing his last, Restless Heart, in 2013
Born into a musical family in India, Sarstedt was one of three brothers who all enjoyed success in the UK singles chart.
His older sibling, Richard Sarstedt, who performed under the stage name Eden Kane, also topped the charts with Well I ask You in 1961, while younger brother Clive, performing under the name Robin Sarstedt, reached number three in 1976 with My Resistance is Low.
Sarstedt's music reached new audiences when Where Do You Go To (My Lovely) was included in the Wes Anderson films Hotel Chevalier and The Darjeeling Limited, which were both released in 2007.
According to his website, he retired in 2010 because of his illness - a rare, progressive neurological condition. | Singer-songwriter Peter Sarstedt, best known for the song Where Do You Go To (My Lovely), has died at the age of 75, his family has said. | 38548507 | [

Taylor, 23, underwent surgery on multiple fractures, but the club's head physotherapist Kate Rees says he is expected to make a full recovery.
Rees said: "The surgeons worked hard on Neil's injury... and did a very good job.
"He is comfortable and the surgeons are happy with the operations."
She added: "While he should make a full recovery, the extent of the injury means Neil is likely to miss the rest of the season.''
Taylor was injured after falling awkwardly in the first half at the Liberty Stadium.
His foot was trapped underneath him as he fell to the ground, taking the full weight of Sunderland's Craig Gardner on the way down.
Taylor immediately summoned the Swansea medical staff as he held his left ankle in agony after just 15 minutes of the match.
"When you have injuries like that it is normally very violent, but this was not violent," said manager Michael Laudrup.
"It was even a free-kick against us.
"Sometimes these injuries happen in strange ways, you don't think anything is wrong and then there is ligament damage or something like that, it is very sad.
"But you see things that are much more violent than that - this was not violent, it was unlucky.
"He was very unlucky to fall in a bad way, you can't blame the Sunderland player for that."
As well as missing a significant part of Swansea's season, Taylor will be unavilable for most of Wales' 2014 World Cup qualifying campaign, which starts against Belgium on Friday.
Taylor impressed for Team GB at the 2012 London Olympic Games and was expected to play a big part in Wales boss Chris Coleman's plans.
Teenager Ben Davies was Taylor's replacement for Swansea, making an assured Premier League debut as Laudrup's side twice hit back to secure a draw. | Wales defender Neil Taylor is expected to miss the rest of the season after fracturing an ankle in Swansea City's 2-2 draw with Sunderland on Saturday. | 19451339 | [

L/Cpl James Brynin, who served with the 14th Signal Regiment (Electronic Warfare), was shot while on patrol in Helmand Province on 15 October.
The 22-year-old, who was born in Shoreham-by-Sea, West Sussex, joined the Army in February 2011 and entered the Intelligence Corps.
He was repatriated via RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire.
L/Cpl Brynin worked as an intelligence analyst and had been selected for promotion to corporal when his patrol was attacked in Kakaran, north east of Lashkar Gah.
L/Cpl Brynin, known as Jay, received immediate medical attention but died from his injuries at the scene.
After his initial training, he was posted to 14th Signal Regiment (Electronic Warfare), which is based at Cawdor Barracks in Pembrokeshire, and had already served a tour in Afghanistan in 2012.
He returned to Afghanistan this August as an intelligence analyst working for a light electronic warfare team (LEWT) within the Brigade Reconnaissance Force (BRF) of 7th Armoured Brigade.
In a tribute, L/Cpl Brynin's family said: "Heart of a lion, we will always stand strong for you. We will never forget. Rest in peace."
Lt Col Mark Purves, commanding officer 14th Signal Regiment (Electronic Warfare), said: "Bright and engaging, Lance Corporal Brynin was immensely popular and an outstanding soldier in every respect.
"Having already completed one tour to Afghanistan, his appointment to support the Brigade Reconnaissance Force was indicative of his talent and leadership qualities.
"He was fit, determined and genuinely wanted to make a difference." | A soldier who was killed while on patrol in Afghanistan has been repatriated to the UK. | 24628709 | [

A frozen corner at Stade Jean-Bouin meant the game began 95 minutes after the scheduled kick-off time.
Waisea Nayacalevu and Julien Arias put the French side 17-5 up at the break with Mat Luamanu crossing for Quins.
Craig Burden added a third Stade score before Marland Yarde and James Chisholm went over for late tries.
Quins knew they had to win the game to progress to the quarter-finals but the home side went through instead, and will be away to Ospreys in the last eight.
A corner of the pitch was still frozen at the scheduled 13:00 GMT start but play was able to start at 14:35.
Stade Francais: Bonneval; Sinzelle, Vuidarvuwalu, Bosman, Camara; Plisson, Genia; Zhvania, Panis, Slimani, Gabrillagues, Pape (capt), Nicolas, Lakafia, Alberts.
Replacements: Burden, Felsina, Melikidze, Pyle, Ross, Daguin, Millet, Arias.
Harlequins: Brown; Yarde, Hopper, Roberts, Visser; Swiel, Care (capt); Murphy, Buchanan, Sinckler, Merrick, Matthews, Clifford, Wallace, Luamanu.
Replacements: Gray, Evans, Jones, Ward, Chisholm, Dickson, Jackson, Alofa.

According to The Times, the flyer offered "free legal support".
Leigh Day, which was cleared of wrongdoing over claims against British troops in Iraq, said it had "no prior knowledge" of the poster.
At least 80 people died in the blaze on 14 June, leaving hundreds homeless.
According to the newspaper, the poster featured British passports and included two personal email addresses for the members of staff.
It reportedly read: "Our aim is to help you kick-start any potential insurance claims and review any complex documents.
"We do not charge for the assistance we provide. However a third party may charge for their services."
The government recently said it would not conduct immigration checks on foreign nationals who survived the fire, as well as those coming forward with information.
Leigh Day said it does not represent any survivors of the fire and that an internal investigation is under way.
A spokesman for the firm said: "Leigh Day would never have given authority for the posters or their display and we are taking this matter extremely seriously.
"As soon as the posters were brought to our attention, a full internal investigation was commenced under formal protocols," he added. | A law firm has suspended two paralegals over allegations they produced a poster offering to "kick-start" insurance claims for those affected by the Grenfell Tower fire in West London. | 40541660 | [

Gerry McGowan, Michael Toner, Stephen Crumlish and Gerard Kelly were all teenagers when they were accused of killing Lt Steven Kirby in 1979.
The so-called Derry Four fled Northern Ireland until their acquittal in 1998.
They are now involved in a civil case against the police for wrongful arrest.
They four men also say they were subjected to false imprisonment, assault, battery and malicious prosecution.
The PSNI told the BBC it would be inappropriate to comment due to legal proceedings.
On Friday, lawyers for the PSNI chief constable submitted documents to the High Court in Belfast indicating that all original interview notes from 1979 were missing.
"I suppose my first reaction was one of disbelief but at the same time it was not surprising," said Gerry McGowan.
"These documents could have been forensically tested to determine whether the statements were tampered with.
"Were they wilfully destroyed or was it just complete incompetence?"
It is understood that no explanation was provided as to how the notes had gone missing.
It is yet another twist in a long battle for justice, according to Paul O'Connor from the Pat Finucane Centre.
"It is an incredible coincidence that in this particular case the interview notes have gone missing," he said.
"It would be vital to get to the bottom of this to see what was written in the original interview notes and this is quite a blow for them.
"My heart goes out to the four men, clearly they have been vindicated in terms of having the charges withdrawn but they've had no justice."
The four men have now lodged an application for the release of covert tape recordings of the interviews, which they believed were made by the security services. | One of four men wrongly accused of murdering a British soldier has said he is "devastated, but not surprised" to learn that interview notes relating to the case have gone missing. | 37416411 | [

The two small eels were found in a routine fish survey on the River Tud, a tributary of the Wensum in Norfolk.
Increased numbers have also been seen at the New Mills fish pass in Norwich, which was installed eight years ago.
The Environment Agency, which monitors numbers, said it was encouraging but did not "herald the recovery of the species as a whole".
Jez Wood, a specialist at the Environment Agency, said the discovery of the eels on the River Tud was important.
"Two doesn't sound like many, but these are the only small eels we've found on this stretch for years," he said.
"While this does not herald the recovery of the species as a whole, it does show the positive benefit of eel passes at barriers to migration."
The status of the European eel is regarded as "critical", and globally the population has fallen over the past 40 years, with numbers down by as much as 95%, the Environment Agency said.
Barriers to upstream migration is thought to be one of the reasons for the decline.
These reduce access to the freshwater habitat preferred by eels while they mature.
In Norfolk, the Environment Agency is creating passes at several key obstruction areas on rivers to help increase numbers.
It said numbers in Norfolk rivers rose to a record of 34,000 in 2009 after a pass was introduced at New Mills Yard, in Norwich. | Eels have been found in a stretch of river where they have not been seen for nearly 40 years. | 40867515 | [

Infrastructure minister Keith Brown has confirmed that officers have discussed a feasibility study on linking the rail line with Carlisle, through Hawick.
News of the discussions emerged in response to a parliamentary question tabled by MSP Jim Hume.
The new 30-mile Borders Railway is expected to open in September.
In answer to Mr Hume's question, Mr Brown said the government had played an active part in taking forward the Borders Railway Blueprint for the Future.
He added: "Transport Scotland officials have already met with partners and offered initial advice on a scoping document which will explore the possibility of extending the Borders railway towards Hawick and Carlisle."
The announcement was welcomed by the Lib Dem MSP for the south of Scotland.
Mr Hume said: "I have no doubt that such a project would greatly benefit communities not just in the Borders but also in Dumfriesshire, and would draw even further on the already clear tourism opportunities from the line reaching Tweedbank.
"Local campaigners such as the Campaign for Borders Rail have kept the focus on this issue and this positive response from the Scottish government must now be the building blocks for progress on an extended rail link.
"I will continue to encourage Ministers to drive the initiative forward." | Transport officials from the Scottish government have held talks on the possibility of extending the Borders Railway beyond Tweedbank. | 32996341 | [

The association and groups including the Mountaineering Council of Scotland have raised concerns in the past about rubbish being left in the shelters.
Use of bothies increases in summer months.
The MBA has now issued a new message asking people to help keep bothies in a tidy state.
The association said: "With summer upon us we are seeing many visitors to bothies, especially on the more popular long-distance trails, who perhaps have not used one before and who seem unaware that unlike in some other countries, our mountain bothies are not serviced and have no rubbish collection service.
"Bothies rely on you to remove your litter, and that of any inconsiderate others, so please help where you can."
Last year, one of two volunteers who looks after Corrour Bothy in the Lairig Ghru, Cairngorms, told of taking four hours to sort through and burn waste left there.
Neil Reid said hillwalkers had to be willing to pick up litter they find. | The Mountain Bothies Association has appealed to hillwalkers and climbers to help keep more than 100 shelters it looks after in the UK clean and tidy. | 36835855 | [

Thirty specialist staff will be appointed across Wales to look after women with prenatal and postnatal mental health illnesses.
Community-based teams will include doctors, nursing staff and other healthcare professionals.
Mind Cymru said around 30% of parents suffer anxiety or depression in the first year after their baby's birth.
The funding announcement comes as a conference on developing perinatal mental health services was being held in Cardiff.
Health Minister Mark Drakeford said: "It's vital that we support mental wellbeing before, during and after pregnancy and support women who are at high risk of developing mental health problems as close to their homes as is practical and safe for both mother and baby.
"We want mothers and their families to have a positive experience so they can feel confident, capable and well-supported during pregnancy and the first weeks and months of bringing their new baby into the world." | Mental health services to help women during and after birth have received a £1.5m boost from the Welsh Government. | 35771874 | [

Guide dog Joey, who mainly flies between London Luton and Paphos in Cyprus, has notched up 35 flights with owner Jan Gibson and her husband Roger.
Mrs Gibson, from Swindon, said: "The crew and passengers often fuss over Joey and take photos as it's not often you get to see a dog on a plane."
Guide and assistance dogs are the only animals allowed on EasyJet flights.
Mrs Gibson, who has had the dog for five years, said: "Joey enjoys flying and will usually sleep at my feet through most of the flight, although he does go for a walk halfway through."
EasyJet group director Peter Duffy said: "With 35 flights under his collar, he must be one of the most travelled dogs in the country and we are really pleased Joey, Jan and Roger have chosen to fly with us again and again." | A golden labrador has been named EasyJet's most frequent flying dog by the budget airline. | 39709101 | [

A group of scientists have invented a gadget which turns pee into electricity.
They hope it could be used in some poorer countries, as a way to create clean and renewable energy.
The system was developed by scientists at the Bristol Bioenergy Centre (BBiC) in the Bristol Robotics Laboratory at the University of the West of England (UWE Bristol).
The invention will be tried out this week on festival-goers at the Glastonbury music festival in Somerset.
Urine, or wee is fed into a special machine called a microbial fuel cell, which contains a type of bacteria.
These tiny bacteria break down the wee and create electrons.
These electrons are then forced through an electronic circuit, creating a flow of electricity.
This electricity can then be used to power all sorts of things, including your phone! | The UK's biggest music festival Glastonbury is trying out some pretty special toilets this year, which could help you charge your smartphone. | 40338496 | [

Police in Madhya Pradesh state told reporters sedition was "hard to prove".
The men have been charged with "disturbing communal harmony" instead.
They were arrested after their Hindu neighbours complained they had burst firecrackers during the game, which saw Pakistan beat India by 180 runs.
Senior police officer RR Parihar said that an additional charge of conspiracy against the men would also remain.
"It's difficult to prove the sedition charge. Moreover, none of them has a criminal background," he told reporters.
The accused were sent to jail in the city of Khandwa on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Amnesty International has called for the immediate release of the men, calling the arrests "patently absurd".
Sedition is one of the most serious charges under the Indian penal code.
People charged with sedition have to surrender their passports, are not eligible for government jobs, must appear in court as and when required, and spend money on legal fees.
If found guilty, they could be sent to prison for life.
The India Today website quoted police as saying that the men were charged because of the anti-India slogans and not because they were cheering for Pakistan.
However family members of the accused have denied the charges against them.
"We don't know who burst crackers in support of Pakistan. All these charges against my son are fabricated," Gulzar Tadwi, the father of one of those arrested, told BBC Hindi.
Sikhander, who uses one name, said police had come in the night and taken away his sons without even telling them why. He also denied that anyone in his house had cheered for Pakistan.
This is not the first time Indian Muslims have got into trouble for cheering for the Pakistan cricket team.
In 2014, 66 Muslim students from Indian-administered Kashmir were kicked out of their university in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh and charged with disturbing communal harmony.
And in 2016, police were sent into a university in Indian-administered Kashmir after clashes between students from the state, the only Muslim majority one in India, and other parts of the country. | Indian police have dropped sedition charges against 15 Muslim men arrested for allegedly shouting "anti-India and pro-Pakistan" slogans during the Champions Trophy cricket final. | 40364164 | [

Eoin Morgan of England, Steve Smith of Australia and Kane Williamson of New Zealand are three great cricketers and captains who will be watching the final from the sidelines, perhaps pondering the often tiny margins between victory and defeat in these tournaments.
As South Africa captain, I know how they feel.
Yet while the disappointed captains of eliminated teams must accept the reality of recriminations and a social media backlash, Virat has managed to guide his team through to the final and now, once again, stands centre stage for the showpiece occasion.
At 28, he is at the peak of his powers, surely the outstanding cricketer in the world today.
I have been privileged to play alongside him in the last six Indian Premier League tournaments and, as his team-mate at Royal Challengers Bangalore, have seen at first hand not only his extraordinary skill as a batsman but also the energy and intensity that he brings to the game.
He is a consummate surgeon at the crease, intensely focussed, working hard, playing the ball into gaps in the field and staying calm under pressure. He is always judging the right time to consolidate and the right time to seize a game by the scruff of the neck.
The sheer volume of his runs leaves no room for debate: Virat has scored 8,008 runs in 183 one-day internationals, at an average of 54.47, and this week moved to the top of the ICC rankings of ODI batsmen.
He has found his best form in this tournament, scoring an unbeaten 81 in India's opening win over Pakistan, adding an unbeaten 76 in the do-or-die victory over South Africa, and compiling a clinical and commanding 96 not out in the semi-final victory over Bangladesh.
India's batting order is decorated with many brilliant talents, but the Pakistan bowlers will realise the paramount importance of controlling Virat on Sunday.
He has been blessed with wonderful natural talent but, as ever among high achievers, his talent is underpinned by a willingness to work hard.
Unseen, he is determined and relentless in training, remaining in the nets as long as necessary to ensure he feels comfortable with every aspect of his game. I have watched him rehearse his strokes over and over again, until sweat is pouring from his brow, never stopping until he is satisfied.
Beyond the golden talent and the iron determination, Virat has learned how to cope with the pressures of his exalted position.
If you drive into almost any city in India, you will see his face appear on every other billboard. Being the most marketable and possibly the most popular personality in a nation of 1.3bn people brings its own pressures: he simply cannot move without being begged for a 'selfie' and his every move, word and even gesture is relentlessly reported in print, electronic and social media.
Twitter whirred when he stuck out his tongue to celebrate a wicket against Bangladesh.
Virat has learned to live with these realities... and also to accept the burden of unrealistic expectation that he should score runs every time he reaches the crease, and that his team should win every time they take the field.
When things don't go well - and, unfortunately, for Virat as for anyone else, things don't always go well - he falls back on his intense commitment and works ever harder until he turns the corner and meets the excessively high expectations.
There were occasions earlier in his career when his determination to succeed spilled over into outbursts anger and volatility on the field, but such incidents are rare now. He has evolved into the very model of a calm, clinical and confident professional cricketer, seemingly in control of every situation.
Intense and serious in matches and at practice, he retains the invaluable ability to switch off from the game, relaxing, laughing and joking at every opportunity.
He enjoys calling people by playful nicknames and he can find humour in almost every situation, even when we are spending hour after hour at another photo shoot, waiting for the photographer to be ready, then being told how and where to pose, then waiting some more, then being told we have to start the process all over again.
While some of his team-mates are getting frustrated and struggling to be patient and composed, Virat will find something funny and deftly defuse the situation.
So he continues to thrive, and so his Indian team continue to enjoy remarkably consistent success at ICC tournaments.
Not long ago, on the morning after an away match in the Indian Premier League, I arrived at breakfast in the hotel to find Virat sitting on his own.
We started chatting about the game of cricket, a little about the pressures and the expectations... but mostly we spoke about the fantastic privilege to play for and to captain your country, and we agreed that we should savour every moment of what, to be honest, remains a special and wonderful way to make a living.
Virat is five years younger than me, so I asked him: "How long do you think you will keep playing the game?"
He responded instantly, eyes alight.
"I'm going to play forever," he said, his face breaking into a broad smile.
And so 'forever' continues on Sunday at The Oval. | There are a few people who would love to be standing in Virat Kohli's shoes this weekend, leading their national team into the final of Champions Trophy, and there is no doubt the captain of India will be relishing the prospect of Sunday's final against Pakistan at The Oval. | 40306937 | [

Air pollution is blamed for about 2,000 premature deaths in Scotland each year.
The warning has come from environmental law organisation ClientEarth.
It has already won a landmark ruling against the UK government at the Supreme Court in London.
In April last year, the court ruled ministers must draw up plans to deal with air pollution as quickly as possible.
ClientEarth argues the UK government's plans are inadequate and it has already pledged to take the issue back to court.
Pollution levels in Glasgow were cited as part of ClientEarth's case.
It said the city was one of four areas in Scotland identified as having illegal and harmful levels of Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), which comes mostly from diesel vehicles.
The group has now warned the Scottish government could also find itself facing legal action over its record on air pollution.
Environment minister Dr Aileen McLeod said the Scottish government was continuing to make progress in improving our air quality.
She said: "Data shows that significant reductions in air pollutants have been achieved since 1990 and further decreases are predicted in the future, given our knowledge of the likely impacts of planned investment.
"Although there has been excellent progress, we recognise that there is more to be done to deliver further benefits for human and environmental health where areas of poorer air quality remain."
If a case is brought it is understood it would be to the Court of Session in Edinburgh.
ClientEarth lawyer Alan Andrews told BBC Scotland: "With Glasgow a key city in our case against the UK government, we know that air pollution is causing a huge public health issue in Scotland.
"In the next few months we will be taking the UK government back to court for its failure to protect people across the country from toxic air pollution.
"Air quality in Scottish cities is in our sights as much as the rest of the UK and the Scottish government should be aware that it could face legal action should it fail to act."
Meanwhile, the Scottish government has urged all of the country's local authorities to carry out roadside emissions testing.
It follows a BBC investigation, which found less than half of the Scotland's councils use powers designed to ensure the most-polluting vehicles are taken off the road.
Transport minister Derek Mackay, told the Scottish Parliament: "Clearly there is a lot to be done. It's a very challenging area and I think it is right to keep the pressure on it, including our partnership with local authorities.
"There is already funding within the system to execute many of the actions which have been identified.
"In terms of roadside testing, 13 out of the 32 local authorities are implementing that. I would encourage others to implement the current regulations as well."
Glasgow tests about 3,000 vehicles a year but Edinburgh City Council tests none, despite holding the powers to do so.
It blamed a lack of funding but the Scottish government insisted cash was available to pay for roadside testing.
Lesley Hinds, City of Edinburgh Council's transport and environment convener, said: "We have made significant use of Scottish government funding to put towards sustainable, long-term projects for improving air quality, including the installation of electric car charging points around the city and support of the ECOStars scheme to reduce fleet energy consumption.
"While vehicle emissions testing is one way of tackling air pollution, there are a range of alternative, effective methods which we have chosen to focus on.
"As a council we have chosen to invest in environmental-friendly transport options, such as the millions spent on 'green' hybrid buses for Lothian Buses, a 1% increase in spending on cycle infrastructure year-on-year (9% in the current year), upgrading the council fleet to include electric vehicles and £200,000 spent on upgrading the traffic signals at Newbridge roundabout to reduce traffic queuing by 80%."
Councillor Chas Booth, of the Scottish Green Group, said: "The council seems to be paying lip service to the issue.
'If Edinburgh doesn't want to use its roadside testing powers it needs to come forward with alternative suggestions to combat the problem, including looking at low emission zones, which we suggested as long ago as 2013.
"More fundamentally, the city needs to start looking at the causes of air pollution when it is weighing up major planning or development proposals.
"We need consistency of planning and environmental policy: there is no point going to great lengths to reduce emissions from transport if our planning decisions force more and more people to use the private car."
BBC Scotland Investigates: Car Sick is broadcast on BBC1 Scotland at 1930 on Wednesday. The programme will also be available later on the iPlayer. | The Scottish government is facing the threat of court action if it fails to tackle illegal levels of air pollution in the country's biggest cities, BBC Scotland has learned. | 35304167 | [

Reading's Danson, who has scored 89 international goals, suffered a hand injury in February and missed Test series against Australia and Germany.
Great Britain play the Dutch in Amsterdam on Tuesday and Thursday.
"We're looking forward to testing ourselves against the number-one-ranked team," said GB coach Danny Kerry.
East Grinstead's Laura Unsworth and University of Birmingham's Lily Owsley are also fit again after injuries and included in the 20-strong squad.
"It is good to have Laura, Alex and Lily back after long periods of injury and it will be good to have competitive match play to help bring them up to match speed," added Kerry.
England came from 2-0 behind to beat the Dutch on penalties to win the EuroHockey Championships in August, with Danson picking up the player of the tournament award.

The investigation by the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) follows a 2013 investigation by BBC Panorama into the Military Research Force, or MRF.
Daniel Rooney was 18 when he and a friend were shot by MRF soldiers firing from an unmarked car, as the youths stood on a street corner in the St James area of west Belfast.
The army claimed the men were armed. Eyewitnesses dispute this, consistent with forensic tests on Rooney and his friend that suggested neither youth was armed.
Mr Rooney was buried without a post-mortem examination. However, while a medical report recorded a bullet entry wound, there was no mention of an exit wound.
The PSNI want to see if the bullet can be retrieved from Mr Rooney's remains, assuming it was lodged in his body. It may then be possible to determine whether the bullet came from a military weapon.
The year of 1972 was the most violent of the 30-year Northern Ireland conflict. A total of 497 people died, mostly civilians killed in bombings or shot by the Provisional IRA and 151 soldiers and police officers were also killed.
Panorama showed that, between May and September 1972, there were several unprovoked "drive-by" attacks on unarmed civilians by MRF soldiers similar to the one that killed Mr Rooney.
At the time, locals assumed the gunmen were loyalists. One attack is alleged to have been preceded by a friendly wave from the driver before a machine gun protruding from a rear window cut down three unarmed men chatting at a taxi rank.
On this occasion the MRF soldiers were armed with a weapon, commonly used by the IRA, known as the "Chicago grinder".
This was a Thompson sub-machine gun also favoured by the 1920s gangster Al Capone.
Panorama showed how in each disputed shooting, the MRF soldiers claimed they were fired on. Yet there was no independent evidence to show that any of the dead or wounded were armed, or that they provoked the attacks, or even that they were members of the IRA.
Two months after Daniel Rooney was shot, the military top brass decided the MRF was imperilling the army's already damaged reputation. Declassified papers show that a review of the MRF found there was "no provision for detailed command and control". The MRF was wound up after only 14 months.
When Prime Minister Edward Heath was told the MRF was to be replaced with the Special Reconnaissance Unit (SRU), he sent a message to the army emphasising that "special care should be taken" to ensure that the SRU should "operate within the law".
Det Ch Insp Neil McGuinness of the PSNI's Legacy Investigation Branch said: "Every effort has been made to complete" Rooney's exhumation "as sensitively and professionally as possible".
Last year the remains of a father of 12, Joseph Murphy, who was shot by the army in disputed circumstances, were exhumed.
Having been shot once, Mr Murphy was brought to an army base where he claimed a soldier shot him again in the place that he had been previously wounded. He later died in hospital. A bullet was recovered from his grave when his remains were exhumed. | The remains of a Belfast youth were being exhumed on Monday as part of a police investigation into his shooting by an experimental British army undercover unit in 1972. | 38054956 | [

The memorial event will be attended by hundreds of firefighters, police officers, paramedics and volunteers in a chapel overlooking the crash site.
Emergency workers and community leaders have organised the 22 November service.
It will come three months after a jet crashed on to the West Sussex A27 during the Shoreham Air Show.
The Right Rev Dr Martin Warner will open the service at Lancing College with a prayer for the victims.
He said it would be an important moment for people who were caught up in the "sudden and tragic events" of that day.
The names of the victims will be read out ahead of a minute's silence at 13:22 GMT - the exact time of the crash.
Each family will then light a candle to be placed on the chapel's altar.
The relatives affected will also give the readings.
Personal reflections of the rescue effort have been written and compiled and will be read out by Sussex Police Chief Constable Giles York, West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service Chief Fire Officer Sean Ruth, and South East Coast Ambulance Service chief executive Paul Sutton.
Two days after the crash, Assistant Chief Constable Steve Barry said he had never before in his career seen anything like the Shoreham crash, in terms of its scale, tragedy and impact on the local community.
Friends and relatives gathered for the funeral of retired engineer Graham Mallinson at St Mary's Church, Newick, on Thursday,
The keen photographer had been hoping to capture shots of the Vulcan bomber, which was making one of its last appearances at the air show, when the vintage Hawker Hunter jet crashed.
He was described as being a "very dearly loved" husband, father and brother who would be "very sorely missed". | The families of 11 men who died in the Shoreham air crash will hear the reflections of emergency workers who dealt with the disaster at a service. | 34796467 | [

Publicly, his business was business; but, for almost quarter of a century, he was at the centre of an extraordinary chain of events that ultimately led to the historic IRA ceasefire of 1994 and the Good Friday Agreement of 1998.
He did that by agreeing to becoming a top-secret contact between sworn enemies - the IRA and the British government.
Mr Duddy was a key link - from the early 1970s to the early 1990s - between the Provisional IRA Army Council and the Secret Intelligence Service, acting on the orders of various British governments.
He even hosted talks in his own living-room involving a top British spy and Martin McGuinness - talks that would ultimately pave the way for peace in Northern Ireland in the 1990s.
Born on 10 June 1936, Mr Duddy spent his early adult life running a family fish and chip shop in Londonderry. His wife Margo worked behind the counter. She described it as a "meeting place, where everyone came and sat and chatted".
Ironically, the beef burgers were delivered by a certain young van driver called Martin McGuinness. The same young militant republican would rise to the leadership of the IRA and one day - perhaps indirectly through Mr Duddy's peace efforts - become his country's deputy first minister. Mr McGuinness died in March.
Mr Duddy's apprenticeship as intermediary came in the days before Bloody Sunday in 1972. He was asked by a friend, Frank Lagan - a fellow Catholic who happened to be Derry's police commander - to try to persuade the Provisional and Official IRA to remove their weapons from the Bogside.
After some soul-searching, Mr Duddy made contact with both organisations and they agreed to the request, with the exception of a few weapons left behind by the Officials for so-called defensive purposes.
Then came Bloody Sunday, when British paratroopers shot dead 13 civil rights marchers during an anti-internment demonstration in Derry on 30 January, 1972. A 14th died later.
Many consider the events of that day a turning point in Northern Ireland, and Mr Duddy warned Frank Lagan that it would have catastrophic consequences.
"We are going to have a war on our hands," he said.
In the ensuing violence in 1972, 479 people were killed, the highest annual death toll in what was to become known as the Troubles.
The scale of the violence only served to heighten Mr Duddy's determination to work towards peace - a goal it would take unsung heroes like him, and others, more than 20 years to achieve.
In 1973, he was introduced to a British government official he knew as Michael Oatley, who was, in fact, a spy from the Secret Intelligence Service (MI6), code-named "The Mountain-Climber".
Mr Duddy was to become the messenger between the IRA and the British government, the secret back channel who would pass messages between the two sides and, eventually, arrange meetings between them.
The process resulted in direct talks between the British and the IRA leadership in 1974-5, some of which took place in Mr Duddy's own home on Derry's Glen Road.
The republican side included IRA chief-of-staff Seamus Twomey, senior Belfast IRA commander Billy McKee, and the then Sinn Féin President Ruairí Ó Brádaigh.
During this time, the IRA declared a ceasefire, but it broke down in the face of loyalist violence and the talks ended.
The process resumed during the IRA hunger strikes of 1980 and 1981, in which Bobby Sands and nine other prisoners died.
Mr Duddy, once again, was the link between the IRA and the British government under Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.
Codenamed "Soon", Mr Duddy was a conduit for messages passed back and forth between the two sides.
During this time, "Soon" used his contacts to arrange for leading republican Danny Morrison to visit the prisoners in Long Kesh, or The Maze.
But the negotiations were fraught with difficulty, as well as a lack of trust on both sides.
It would take 10 deaths before the fast was called off in October 1981.
Days later, most of the prisoners' demands were met.
Sinn Féin was to emerge as a growing political force in Northern Ireland, as republicans now began to use the ballot box and the Armalite hand in glove.
In the early 1990s, Mr Duddy hosted talks at his home between Mr Oatley and the intelligence services, and the republican leadership including the late Mr McGuinness.
Talking to the enemy had created the opportunity for peace and in 1994, after more than 3,000 deaths, the IRA declared a ceasefire.
Mr Duddy's work as the secret peacemaker" was almost done - and the Good Friday peace agreement was signed four years later.
According to Martin McGuinness, Mr Duddy's successful role in the peace process was so renowned it even reached Colombia.
In 2014, Mr McGuinness said that when he met President Juan Manuel Santos, the Colombian leader told him that when his government opened a back channel with the rebel group Farc, the negotiator was codenamed "Brendan".
The peace process was not the only area in which Mr Duddy used his mediating skills.
Between 1997 and 2002, he co-chaired talks, along with other members of Londonderry's business community, aimed at resolving tension around the city's Apprentice Boys parade. The event is now largely trouble-free.
He was also a former independent member of the Northern Ireland Policing Board.
Meanwhile, his business career thrived - the family firm, Duddy Group, has interests in property, bars, restaurants and hotels, including Derry's City Hotel and the Ramada Hotel in Portrush. | Brendan Duddy - a Londonderry businessman described as Northern Ireland's "secret peacemaker" - has died aged 80. | 39887873 | [

The 34-year-old, who won 10,000m gold eight days ago, was swamped by his rivals in the final lap and Ethiopia's Muktar Edris broke clear to win gold.
Britain's Farah kicked again to take silver at the London Stadium in his final major track championships.
Britain's men won a stunning 4x100m relay gold as the women took silver.
"It's been a long journey but it's been incredible," Farah told BBC Sport.
"It didn't quite hit home until after I crossed the line and had a couple of moments to myself when I realised - this is it.
"I gave it all - I didn't have a single bit left at the end."
Four-time Olympic champion Farah will finish his track career with a record of 10 golds and two silvers in major championships.
He is set to focus on marathons after his final track appearance at the 5,000m Diamond League final in Zurich on 24 August.
Gold and silver in the two 4x100m relays takes Britain's medal tally at London 2017 to four - Farah supplying the other two - but the hosts are still two short of UK Sport's target of six to eight.
Edris, 23, ran a superbly judged final 600m to claim his first major title with a sprint finish reminiscent of so many Farah triumphs.
After a brief burst from Farah's compatriot Andrew Butchart at the front of the race, the Ethiopian trio of Edris, Yomif Kejelcha and Selemon Barega moved up to box in the home favourite.
Barega fell back but Edris used Kejelcha as a pace-setter into the home straight before surging away while Farah battled for position with the resurgent Paul Chelimo behind.
Farah finally found open track but Edris was gone, with the Briton passing the fading Kejelcha and holding off Chelimo to salvage silver.
"The 10,000m took a lot more out of me than I realised," said Farah.
"I was trying to cover every move but they had a game plan - one of them was going to sacrifice himself and that's what they did and the better man won."
Farah has now lost just two of his 22 5,000m contests since 2011.
"I was highly prepared for this race and I knew I was going to beat Mo Farah," said Edris, who won in a time of 13 minutes 32.79 seconds to claim his first win over the Briton in five attempts.
"I am the new champion for Ethiopia, that's why I did the 'Mobot' [Farah's traditional celebration] - I am the next champion."
1976 Olympic 10,000m bronze medallist and BBC commentator Brendan Foster: "We did say fatigue was going to get him. It has to come to an end. He hates losing."
BBC athletics expert Allison Curbishley: "In my head and my heart I didn't think anyone could genuinely beat Mo Farah but that 10,000m at the start of the week took so much out of him. Edris, we take our hat off to you. This man has beaten the legend that is Mo Farah in his own back yard."
2005 marathon world champion Paul Radcliffe: "He just doesn't have the pace in his legs anymore to be able to live with challengers like that but this isn't the end of Mo Farah in athletics. He has a new challenge ahead of him in the marathon."
Two-time Olympic decathlon champion Daley Thompson: "He has got to be hurting. But it has to end for everybody. In a couple of weeks or months, he will look back and say, 'that was awesome'."
2004 Olympic 4x100m relay champion Darren Campbell: "There are athletes out there who have won more medals, but the quality of those medals and for Mo to have led an event on his own... wow. I don't know how you can't see him as our greatest ever athlete."

A disconsolate Farah dropped to the track as Edris mimicked his famous celebration, before finally picking himself up to complete a farewell lap.
Farah has come under scrutiny in recent years, with his coach Alberto Salazar under investigation by the US Anti-Doping Agency.
The Briton also recently denied any wrongdoing after computer hackers revealed some of his blood samples had initially been flagged as suspicious, before later being declared normal.
After initial shock at the result, the crowd found their voice to give Farah a final warm send-off at the stadium he lit up with double Olympic gold in 2012.
"Back in 2008 at the Olympics I was so disappointed [at not making the 5,000m final] and I didn't know what to do with myself, whether to carry on with the sport," said Farah.
"I had to decide what it took to become a champion and that was to move to the other side of the world - nothing was guaranteed but I took that chance.
"This London crowd is amazing - there is no place like home.
"I have a few more races on the track, then I will take a short break and then this chapter of my life is closed."
Elsewhere, Britons Katarina Johnson-Thompson and Morgan Lake finished fifth and sixth respectively in the high jump as Maria Lasitskene - the Russian competing as a neutral athlete - won gold with a leap of 2.03m.
And Ashley Bryant finished 11th in the men's decathlon, with Kevin Mayer becoming the first French world champion in the event.

Flt Lt Andrew Townshend cost the Ministry of Defence millions of pounds when he deactivated the autopilot of the military passenger jet.
The Voyager aircraft, which had 198 passengers and crew on board, plummeted 4,400ft (1,341m) over the Black Sea.
Townshend pleaded guilty to negligently performing a duty and was also handed a four-month suspended prison sentence.
The court martial heard that during a flight from RAF Brize Norton to Afghanistan on 9 February 2014 the 49-year-old pilot's camera was pushed into the aircraft's control stick as he moved his seat, switching off the autopilot.
A board of RAF officers at Bulford, Wiltshire, heard crew and passengers thought they were going to die during the flight, and some were thrown weightless into the air and smashed into the ceiling.
Nigel Lickley QC, prosecuting, said the incident led to the grounding of the military fleet of six Voyager aircraft for 13 days while the cause of the nosedive was investigated.
This led to service personnel being stranded in Afghanistan while they waited for the aircraft to be brought back into service, he added.
He said up to 48 personnel were left unfit for duty and the co-pilot, Flt Lt Nathan Jones, who suffered fractures to his spine, is still unable to resume flying duties.
Mr Lickley said: "Their lives and health and welfare were put at significant risk by Flt Lt Townshend's negligence."
The experienced pilot - who has served with the RAF for 30 years and completed 5,500 flying hours - had been using his camera to photograph other aircraft from the cockpit and had taken 95 shots that day.
He also told the court that he had been viewing the star-filled sky moments before the incident, as he had a passion for star-gazing.
Judge Advocate Alan Large told Townshend: "This was not a momentary lapse of concentration, your eye was well off the ball."
On Wednesdy, Townshend was found not guilty of perjury and making a false record, after being accused of dishonestly claiming the dive was caused by a technical fault. | An RAF pilot who caused his plane to nosedive while using a digital camera has been dismissed by a military court. | 39153163 | [

Reports speak of at least four people injured. The city is at the heart of the conflict between the Turkish government and Kurdish separatists.
Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu said the blast happened at a vehicle repair unit, and appeared to be an accident.
He said "it seems there is no outside interference, and the explosion came from the vehicle under repair".
Mr Soylu said one person was trapped under rubble, another was seriously injured, and others had minor injuries.
The blast brought a roof down, left a huge crater and a pall of smoke drifted over part of the city. The cause remains unclear.
The banned Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) is active in the area.
Turkey is five days away from a key referendum on granting President Recep Tayyip Erdogan sweeping new powers.
South-eastern Turkey has seen frequent clashes between the PKK and Turkish security forces since a fragile truce collapsed in the summer of 2015.
There have also been bloody attacks in Turkey blamed on so-called Islamic State (IS). The jihadists are hostile to both the Turkish state and the Kurdish rebels, who are battling for territory and influence inside Syria. | A large explosion has struck a police headquarters in the mainly Kurdish city of Diyarbakir in south-eastern Turkey. | 39563678 | [

Healthwatch England put in a Freedom of Information request and found psychiatric patients now spend six fewer days in hospital than in 2012-13.
The data, from 32 mental health trusts, shows average number of "bed days" per patient per year has fallen by 10%.
Healthwatch England says some patients are being discharged too early and without enough support.
Anna Bradley, chairwoman of Healthwatch England, said the findings reflect a troubling picture where patients discharged from hospital often struggle to access crisis treatment at home.
"What is particularly problematic is when people leave institutions, they cannot access the support they need in the community. We have heard of cases where people have taken their own lives. Our concern is that people are being lost between hospitals and community services."
Latest statistics show that in recent years, the number of suicides of patients being cared for at home has been double that of inpatients.
Prof Louis Appleby, chairman of the National Suicide Prevention Strategy advisory group, says the numbers represent a change in the nature of acute psychiatric care, with treatment increasingly being provided outside hospitals. While many patients prefer care at home, it can also represent a risk.
"The ideological drive towards services in the community and away from beds, can go too far. Eventually that drive crosses a line - and that line is safety. If you combine the ideological drive with pressure on resources, you have a toxic combination," he said.
Graeme Price died after jumping from a multistorey car park in July 2013.
He became ill shortly after taking on a new job and was diagnosed with depression and psychosis.
He was admitted to an assessment ward at Bedford Hospital but discharged after three weeks back to the care of the crisis resolution and home treatment team.
His wife, Linda, said: "They hadn't done a formal care plan to decide what his treatment should be going forward. They just released him."
Ten days after being discharged, while on a shopping trip with Linda and his daughter Emily, he jumped to his death.
The coroner said he "required treatment as an inpatient but no bed was available".
South Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust, which was responsible for Graeme's care said: "The circumstances surrounding Mr Price's care were thoroughly investigated, robust action was taken to address the issues identified and the learning was shared with clinical teams."
According to the most recent report from the Chief Medical Officer, Prof Dame Sally Davies, investment in the key community teams set up to replace inpatient care has fallen.
Between 2010-11 and 2011-12, investment across the three priority areas - crisis resolution, early intervention and assertive outreach - fell for the first time, by £29.3m from £520m.
Her annual report notes this is "significant" given "the co-existing reduction in bed availability".
Chris Naylor, of health think tank the King's Fund, said there is evidence that mental health is underfunded compared with physical healthcare, despite recent government promises to ensure parity of esteem.
"Mental health accounts for about 23% of the burden of disease in England, but it only receives around 11% of the funding.
"If the government is serious about putting mental health care on an equal footing with physical health, then it's going to need a really serious commitment in the next parliament."
A Department of Health spokesperson said: "Commissioners are expected to give a real-terms funding increase to mental health this year.
"NHS funding for mental health increased by £300m last year." | Pressure to free up mental health beds may be leaving vulnerable people at risk, says a watchdog. | 32782647 | [

It is part of a wider disposal of problem debt on both sides of the Irish border.
Most of the loans - 86% - that are being sold off are in the Republic of Ireland. The rest relate to business in Northern Ireland.
While the face value is about £15m, the actual value is now likely to be considerably less.
The process starts next week and should be completed by the end of the year.
It is understood the loans being disposed of have been under special management for a significant time.
The sale is not connected to the squeeze on agricultural incomes linked to the current downturn. | Ulster Bank is to sell off agricultural loans in Northern Ireland with a face value of about £15m. | 36384566 | [

Officers from the Environment Agency found 20,000 tyres when they visited the site at Seacoast Road, Bellarena, near Limavady, last year.
The men did not have a licence to keep tyres or to use any material as sea defences.
They both pleaded guilty to one charge under waste legislation and one under the marine legislation.
Gregory Allen, 43, of Seacoast Road Bellarena and David McCullough, 68, of Old Antrim Road Ballymena, were sentenced to four months in prison, suspended for two years.
The tyres were found buried in and resting beside the shoreline of Lough Foyle.
A formal notice to remove the waste, sent to Mr Allen, was not complied with.
The site was owned by Mr Allen and rented by Mr McCullough. | Two men discovered using thousands of tyres as an illegal sea defence have been given suspended sentences. | 34858921 | [

The researchers analysed data collected at the ages of 10, 16 and 42.
As well as the tabloids finding, they said childhood reading for fun boosted vocabulary throughout life, while highbrow fiction helped adults further.
The research team drew on the 1970 British Cohort Study, which collects information on a group of people from England, Scotland and Wales who were born in the same week.
At the age of 10, the group took a pictorial language comprehension test and at 16 they did a multiple-choice vocabulary test.
The test they did aged 42 was a shortened version of the one used at 16.
The researchers also analysed information on the group's reading habits as adults and their educational achievements.
The group were asked how often they read books for pleasure and what sort of books they read.
The vocabulary tests showed all respondents had greater word power by the age of 42 than they had had at 16, with the average vocabulary score rising from 55% to 63%.
But those who had read regularly for pleasure as children beat the rest, scoring an average 67% in the age 42 test, compared with infrequent childhood readers who scored an average of 51%.
The study found those who read regularly as children tended to come from better-off families and had higher vocabulary scores as children.
However, even after the data was reanalysed to take these differences into account, there was still a nine percentage point gap in the vocabulary scores at age 42 between the two groups.
This may be because the frequent childhood readers continued to read for pleasure as adults, wrote the researchers.
"In other words, they developed 'good' reading habits in childhood and adolescence that they have subsequently benefited from."
But they also found "what people read mattered as how often they read".
In terms of newspapers, they found readers of broadsheets made more progress in vocabulary than people who did not read newspapers.
But "tabloid readers actually made less progress than non-readers of newspapers".
Co-author Prof Alice Sullivan said the finding was in line with the team's previous work, which showed "the presence of tabloid newspapers in the home during childhood was linked to poor cognitive attainment at age 16".
The report also said: "Those who read 'highbrow' fiction made greater vocabulary gains than those who read middlebrow fiction; and lowbrow fiction readers made no more progress than non-readers."
The study found the adults with the biggest vocabularies were graduates of Russell Group of sought-after universities, scoring an average of 81% in the age 42 vocabulary test.
Of this group, two-thirds (66%) preferred "highbrow" fiction and more than half (56%) said they read only broadsheet newspapers. | Readers of tabloid papers have smaller vocabularies than people who do not read newspapers, suggests a study. | 29885222 | [

But there is a mismatch between those soothing words and the aggressive trade policies laid out during the campaign - which included harsh tariffs on China and tearing up existing agreements.
It is hard to know if Mr Trump will follow up on his threats, but they have a combustive potential.
And trade is one area where the president has freedom to act without the approval of lawmakers in Congress.
Five questions on economy for Trump
UK businesses react to Trump's win
Trump's economic promises
President Trump: All hat, now where are the cattle?
So what did we learn during the campaign about Mr Trump's views on trade? Well, you can find a summary of his policies on his campaign website, but here's a quick tour.
Perhaps his most radical idea is to impose hefty tariffs on Chinese-made goods, if China does not reform its trade relations with the US.
Mr Trump has floated the idea of a swingeing 45% tariff on Chinese imports.
In a big economic policy speech in June he told workers at a metal processing plant that China had "cheated on its currency, added another trillion dollars to our trade deficit and stole hundreds of billions of dollars in our intellectual property".
During that speech he reminded workers that President Reagan had imposed tariffs of 45% on Japanese motorcycles and 100% on computer chips.
If Mr Trump's threat crystallised it would supply a shock to the US economy as China is an important supplier of many goods.
Take mobile devices for example. China supplies three-quarters of the phones imported into the US and it supplies almost all laptop and tablet computers.
Mr Trump has also been scathing about the North American Free Trade Agreement (Nafta).
Introduced in 1994 it greatly reduced, and in some cases eliminated altogether, tariffs for trade between the US and its two immediate neighbours, Mexico and Canada.
"Nafta was the worst trade deal in the history of this country," Mr Trump said in June.
He blames the deal for the loss of thousands of US manufacturing jobs and wants to reverse that by renegotiating the terms of the deal.
If Mexico and Canada do not agree to the new terms, Mr Trump has threatened to withdraw from the agreement altogether.
In February, after five years of work, the US and 11 other nations signed up to the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), one of the biggest multinational trade deals ever.
That agreement now looks dead as Mr Trump has called it a "horrible deal" and said that he would block it.
The deal involves 12 nations from around the Pacific Rim, and was partly designed to counter the growing economic power of China.
However, Mr Trump claims that trade with those nations had already cost the US two million jobs - with the manufacturing of cars and car parts particularly suffering.
A lot of work has also gone into a new trade deal between the US and the European Union.
Since 2013 the two sides have been negotiating the Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership or TTIP, aimed at removing or reducing trade barriers.
That deal has faced opposition in Europe and now, with a US administration that is sceptical over trade deals, looks even less likely to reach fruition.
An existing deal under threat is the 2011 free trade agreement with South Korea.
According to figures quoted on Mr Trump's campaign website, the deal has cost 100,000 jobs and has not resulted in any increase in US exports to South Korea.
While many nations might have their trade deals torn up, the UK might well be looked on favourably by the Trump administration.
The president-elect was a supporter of the UK leaving the European Union and last month his trade adviser Dan DiMicco told the BBC that negotiating a new trade deal with the UK would be "one of the first things" that his trade officials would do.
Mr DiMicco also said that Mr Trump was serious about his threats over trade: "Things have gotten so bad that we will leave Nafta, WTO [the World Trade Organization] and the Korean Free Trade Agreement if we can't get a fair deal.
"These are not idle threats."
But the WTO has congratulated Mr Trump on his victory and appeared to acknowledge his concerns over jobs.
The WTO is "ready to support the administration to ensure trade is a positive element in a new strategy for development & job creation," tweeted director-general Roberto Azevedo.
"It's clear many feel trade isn't working for them. We must address this and ensure trade delivers the widest benefit to the most people," he added. | At his victory rally in New York US president-elect Donald Trump promised "great, great relationships" with other nations. | 37923448 | [

Mr Vine was riding his bicycle in Kensington, west London, on 26 August when a row occurred, Hammersmith Magistrates' Court was told.
Shanique Pearson, 22, from Vauxhall, is said to have formed the shape of a weapon with her fingers and "cocked it" at Mr Vine's head.
Ms Pearson denies acting in a threatening manner.
In response to the charges she denies using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour and driving without reasonable consideration for other road users.
Ms Pearson has admitted driving an unlicensed vehicle on the day in question.
The defendant claimed Mr Vine was mistaken in what he thought he had seen and said she instead raised her middle finger at the presenter, who she thought was "a bit crazy" for following her after their initial row.
Footage of the argument, which took place in Hornton Street, west London and was filmed on Mr Vine's helmet camera, has since been viewed online millions of times, the presenter said.
The video was played in court.
After initially clashing when Mr Vine stopped his bike in front of Ms Pearson's Vauxhall Corsa, Ms Pearson drove past the Radio Two presenter, the court learned.
But the argument erupted a short while later when Ms Pearson spotted Mr Vine trying to take a photograph.
Explaining the next few moments to the court, he said: "She's gone back in the car, she's sitting at this junction. I am behind her with my cycle, the lights are red. I draw parallel to the car because I want to see inside.
"As I draw level and I look in [to the car] she produces her fingers like this, and aims them at me, and cocks her thumb and goes like that, in a firing sign."
In her evidence, Ms Pearson said she had initially reacted to Mr Vine's stopping in front of her car because: "It was too quick, it kind of shocked me.
"I could have hit him [with the car] and I don't think he understood the danger of that, hence why I was so angry."
The hearing has been adjourned until 26 January. | A driver "made a gun sign" at BBC presenter Jeremy Vine during an alleged road rage incident, a court heard. | 38618078 | [

The south of Scotland facility shut last year despite a local campaign for its retention.
A report to Dumfries and Galloway Council said the new service was proving of a "high standard".
However, it said changes to IT systems meant "direct performance comparisons" were not possible.
The Dumfries site was the first of a number of control centres across Scotland to be shut as part of plans to modernise the service.
The union Unison described it as a "sad day" for the town and more than 30 staff involved.
A review of its impact has claimed that many figures could not be directly compared between the old service and the new one.
It did find satisfaction levels were "consistently above 90%".
The report also revealed that just nine out of the 34 staff affected now remained with Police Scotland.
It concluded that the public and police officers in Dumfries and Galloway had benefited from the larger operating model and more modern IT systems.
Although it had been a "significant change", the report's verdict was that it had performed "to the satisfaction of the public".

A new crossing is needed as part of Transport Scotland's £3bn project to make the road dual carriageway all the way between Inverness and Perth.
Transport Scotland has proposed building the new bridge further east of the present crossing, which would be removed along with an embankment.
The new structure would also have a lower profile.
The dualling project is to be completed in 2025.
Full details of the planned new bridge have been published online and views from the public have been sought. | Proposals for a new bridge to take the A9 across the River Spey near Kingussie in the Highlands have been published. | 39204371 | [

The 32-year-old's first World Series win since 2012 ended the 13-event winning streak of Gwen Jorgensen.
The Welsh triathlete also beat British rival Jodie Stimpson.
"Helen has put a very strong case forward," said Stanford, who has already qualified for Rio along with Vicky Holland.
With an official announcement due in June, two-time world champion Jenkins and England's Commonwealth champion Stimpson are competing to be part of Britain's female triathlon contingent in Rio this summer.
"Personally, I can't see how they can't pick Helen," said Jenkins' Welsh compatriot Stanford.
"British Triathlon were saying that you had to display potential to medal for Rio and she's absolutely done that.
"She's gone out there and won the race and not only that she's beaten Gwen Jorgensen, who is the hot favourite to win gold in Rio, so if you beat her you've shown you have potential to medal so I'd be very surprised if she's not selected."
Stimpson made a strong start to the season, winning the opening World Series event in Abu Dhabi and the sprint distance World Cup in Australia.
But she trailed in 12th, more than three minutes behind the winner, at the Gold Coast.
"Jodie had a fantastic start to the season," added Stanford, the 2013 world champion.
"But sadly she didn't quite have the race she wanted at the Gold Coast which was the actual selection race.
"That was the day they had to really perform and show what they were capable of doing, but she presented a strong case earlier in the year and you never know what the selectors are thinking and which way they will go."
After winning the race in Australia, Jenkins said: "The team is not announced yet but I think I have probably done enough today.
"Our team is so strong and it is so unfair that Jodie might not be going to the Games." | Non Stanford will be surprised if Helen Jenkins is not in the British triathlon team for the Olympics after her victory in the Gold Coast World Series event. | 36023108 | [

The BBC's Anbarasan Ethirajan at the scene says it is a race against time before officials bring in heavy machinery.
He says the smell of decomposing bodies is making some rescuers ill.
More than 350 people have died since Wednesday's disaster and hundreds more are missing.
On Sunday, two more people were pulled alive from the rubble of the eight-storey building in the suburb of Savar as the rescue operation entered its fifth day.
A group of about nine survivors was also located and teams were using light cutting equipment to try to reach them, our correspondent says.
Water and food are being dropped through gaps in the rubble, he adds.
But with hopes fading for those still trapped, officials plan to bring in cranes within the next few hours.
The army officer co-ordinating the rescue, Maj Gen Chowdhury Hasan Suhrawardy, said they would try to save the nine people first by using light equipment.
"But if we fail we will start our next phase within hours," he said.
This would involve heavy equipment including hydraulic cranes and cutters to bore a hole from the top of the collapsed building, he told reporters.
He said they still aimed to recover survivors as well as bodies.
"In this stage, we have no other choice but to use some heavy equipment," he said.
"We will start it within a few hours. Manual operation and use of small equipment is not enough."
On Saturday a total of 29 people were rescued from the destroyed Rana Plaza in the commercial suburb of Savar.
Police have so far arrested three garment factory owners and two engineers in connection with the disaster.
Factory bosses Mahbubur Rahman Tapas and Balzul Samad Adnan surrendered to police early on Saturday while Aminul Islam was arrested later the same day.
Police said they had ordered an evacuation of the building on Tuesday after cracks appeared, but that the factories ignored them and were operating the next day.
The municipal engineers are reported to have approved the safety of the building a day before it collapsed.
The owner of Rana Plaza, Mohammed Sohel Rana, has gone into hiding although police are questioning his wife.
Airport and border authorities have been alerted to stop him from leaving the country, reports say.
One minister has alleged that Rana Plaza was built without permits.
Thousands of relatives of missing workers are waiting at the site as survivors and the dead are pulled from the rubble.
Police said 353 bodies had so far been found, 301 of which had been identified. A further 2,431 people are known to have survived.
There is no official figure on the number of people still missing, but Akram Hossain, a deputy director of the fire service, said their chances of survival were "diminishing by the minute".
The fire service's head of operations, Mahbubur Rahman, said the rescue effort was becoming increasingly difficult for emergency workers as survivors were losing their strength to call for help.
"There are many dead bodies but our top priority is finding those who may still be alive," he told AFP news agency. "There are some survivors. We can hear their feeble cries or hear them talking to each other."
Mr Rahman said rescuers were digging tunnels through the rubble with bare hands, drills and shovels because they feared heavier equipment could cause further collapse.
"Pillars and beams are the biggest problem. Sometimes, even if we can locate survivors, we can't reach them because of these beams. They take a lot of time to cut through."
One of those who was rescued on Saturday, Merina Begum, said she and seven other workers had survived without food or water. She told AFP: "When the rescuers brought juice, ice cream and cold water, it was the tastiest food I've ever had."
Anger at the building collapse has triggered days of violent protests in Dhaka, although streets were said to be quiet on Sunday.
Bangladesh has one of the largest garment industries in the world, providing cheap clothing for major Western retailers that benefit from its widespread low-cost labour.
But the industry has been widely criticised for its low pay and limited rights given to workers and for the often dangerous working conditions in garment factories. | Rescuers are frantically trying to save about nine people located in the wreckage of a collapsed factory complex in the Bangladeshi capital Dhaka. | 22325779 | [

Hugh Thomson, 67, from Lumsden, drank half a pint of beer and four whiskies, Aberdeen Sheriff Court heard.
Police found that he was more than four times the legal drink drive limit and in breach of a life-long driving ban.
He has been given a community payback order as a direct alternative to jail and a further 10 year driving ban.
The court heard that Thomson, who says he has a terminal illness, was banned from driving for life when he appeared at Fort William Sheriff Court in 1997.

The Scot, 26, stopped Joubert in the sixth round - a ninth win out of nine.
"I had to [get] over the clash of heads and cut in the first round," he told BBC Scotland. "It's a pretty nasty cut.
"I learned I can deal with having to get cuts and when it gets rough I can carry on with it. I kept myself nice and calm."
The 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games gold medallist has previously stated his ambition to fight fellow Scot and WBA super-lightweight champion Ricky Burns.
Taylor's promoter, former world champion Barry McGuigan, said: "We'd love that fight. That's a great fight, that's a magnificent fight down the line.
"He [Taylor] is impressive. He's so inventive. He's creating his own little style. Taylor has got that uniqueness about him, he's just so inimitable in everything he does.
"He's great to watch and he's definitely going to go the whole way. The difficulty for me now is how do I fill the gap between here and world championship fights because that's where he's capable of going?
"I need to have something else in the middle because once you make that step, there's no turning back. You can't go back and have easier fights where you can gain experience. That's my dilemma."
And Taylor added: "I'm quite happy where I am just now, maybe another defence of the Commonwealth, maybe even knock on the door of the European [title].
"I learned a lot about myself [against Joubert]. I was impressed with my own performance.
"I caught him clean a few times and he took them and he came back at me and hit me a couple of times himself.
"Once I started finding my range, started catching him with good shots, it didn't take me long once I caught him clean." | Josh Taylor says he "learned a lot about himself" in his Commonwealth super-lightweight title defence against South Africa's Warren Joubert. | 39392660 | [

Alun Davies told AMs they had received 7,000 responses to a consultation containing "strongly held" views.
He said he would now look at the 125 existing marine protected areas to see if further improvements could be made.
The Marine Conservation Society (MCS) described it as an "embarrassing U-turn" for the Welsh government, and has called for better protection of seas.
Creating the zones would mean a ban on fishing and anchoring in some areas and had brought opposition.
The Welsh Fishermen's Association said previously that existing conservation networks for Welsh waters are adequate.
The Welsh government proposed the zones last year with the backing of the Countryside Council of Wales and the Marine Conservation Society.
The minister for natural resources said the decision had been made after the thousands of responses to the consultation brought "divergent and strongly held views".
Mr Davies said to "avoid any continuing uncertainty over the options presented in the 2012 consultation, I am also withdrawing all the proposed sites".
His comments come after the findings were published of a task and finish team which reviewed the feedback.
Now, he will concentrate on the existing 125 Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) that cover 36% of Welsh seas to see if any changes can be made rather than creating additional zones.
"We are now in a stronger position to assess our current contribution to the network's ecological coherence," he said.
"I have, therefore, commissioned an assessment of our current MPAs to identify if there are any gaps and what the options might be to fill those gaps.
"If any measures are required, I believe they should be simple, proportionate and fit for purpose."
Dr Peter Richardson, biodiversity programme manager for MCS, said the Welsh government "spent an awful lot of time and money and encouraged other people to put effort into this consultation response".
He said: "70% of the consultation responses were in favour of designating these sites and yet today the minister has announced he's scrapping the whole thing... bit of an embarrassing U-turn for the government I think."
He added: "I think there are plenty of people in the fishing industry... that understand that in order to get the best yields from the marine habitats on which they depend, they have to be managed properly." | Controversial plans for 10 marine conservation zones have been withdrawn by a Welsh government minister. | 23360964 | [

The profit included a 'write back' of £27m in impairment charges.
That means money which had been set aside to cover expected losses can now be released as loans performed better than expected.
These are the first performance figures the bank has published since a corporate reorganisation in 2015.
At that time the bank's parent company, RBS, split Ulster Bank's Irish operation into separate businesses, north and south of the border.
Richard Donnan, head of Ulster Bank in Northern Ireland, said the results also showed a 6% decline in operating costs from £154m to £145m.
"We still have work to do to manage our costs in order to grow our business in a sustainable way, but we have made significant progress on that front," he said.
"I am pleased that we have impairment write backs of £27m, driven by improved residential and commercial property market conditions."
In March, the bank said it would close nine of its 64 branches from October.
Ulster Bank is one of the big four local banks in Northern Ireland, employing about 2,200 staff.
In 2016 RBS, which is 72%-government owned, reported a £7bn annual loss. | Ulster Bank in Northern Ireland made a 2016 pre-tax profit of £58m on a turnover of £176m. | 39819351 | [

The hacking scheme he ran from 2008 to 2014 targeted US pizza chains in Washington state.
The jury in the trial found him guilty on 38 out of 40 charges including fraud and ID theft.
Seleznev, who is the son of a Russian MP, will be sentenced on 2 December and faces a mandatory jail term of four years.
Prosecutors called Seleznev "one of the most prolific credit card thieves in history" who stole and sold almost 3 million credit card numbers.
To carry out the hacking scheme, Seleznev hacked into point-of-sale systems in pizza restaurants and then installed malware that siphoned off copies of credit card numbers. The lists of numbers were then sold on net markets where stolen information is traded. More than 3,700 businesses were hit by the hack attacks, said prosecutors.
Seleznev pleaded not guilty.
US Secret Service agents arrested Seleznev and his girlfriend at a Maldives airport in 2014.
Lawyers acting for the hacker said they planned to appeal against the conviction. The appeal will seek to challenge what his legal team described as his "illegal arrest" in 2014 as well as a separate ruling that let the government use evidence from a corrupted laptop seized when he was arrested.
"If Roman was Canadian, this case would never have happened," Seleznev's lawyer John Henry Browne told the Wall Street Journal. "There was definitely politics involved in this."
Russia has also lodged official complaints about Seleznev's seizure and extradition saying it pointed to a campaign by US authorities to "hunt" Russians all over the world.
The US Department of Justice said Seleznev "was prosecuted for his conduct not his nationality". | Russian Roman Seleznev has been found guilty in the US of running a hacking scheme that stole $169m (£131m). | 37194989 | [

Brace will take on an as yet unnamed opponent for the vacant WBC International bantamweight title.
The 26-year-old has won all five of her professional bouts so far.
Brace quit amateur boxing after being told she was ineligible to compete at the 2014 Commonwealth Games because of suggestions she had fought professionally as a kickboxer.
Her involvement at the 2013 Unified Kickboxing World Championships ruled her out of the Games in Glasgow, an amateur-only event.

An early Zak Jules own goal got Dee started but Louis Moult soon levelled.
The Well defence then went missing, with a Marcus Haber double and goals from Mark O'Hara and Craig Wighton making it 5-1 at half time.
The home side went close through Craig Clay and Chris Cadden but were unable to reduce the deficit.
In their three previous games, Well lost 3-0 to Hearts, 7-2 at Aberdeen and 2-0 at Celtic, while Dundee's victory was their second in succession following the 2-1 triumph over Rangers.
The result was the biggest away win of the season in the Premiership and means Dundee remain in sixth spot, with Well now just two points clear of second-bottom Inverness Caledonian Thistle.
On-loan Reading defender Jules was in for the injured Stephen McManus and he made an early impact, although not one he would have wanted. It was a simple high ball into the box but Jules got his footing all wrong and looped a header over the advancing Craig Samson and into the net.
Moult's equaliser came midway through the half as he reacted quickest in the box to shoot low past Scott Bain from close range.
The visitors were moving the ball around efficiently and they were back in front when Haber fired a right-foot shot across Samson into the bottom right hand corner of the net.
Mark O'Hara finished the third after excellent build-up play before former Well favourite Henrik Ojamaa set up Wighton to blast in number four.
Paul McGowan then curled an effort inches wide of Samson's left hand post as confidence flowed through Paul Hartley's Dundee dominant outfit.
With seconds remaining in the first half, a Wighton free-kick from the left found Haber totally unmarked at the back post and he duly nodded in the fifth for Dundee.
As the half time whistle blew the home fans' boos rung out around the stadium.

Dundee had not recorded an away win since the end of October, but Lanarkshire is clearly lucky for the Dens Park men as that triumph in October came at Hamilton.
Despite the four-goal deficit Motherwell returned for the second half with the same personnel and made a better impression, albeit against a Dundee side who had taken their foot off the gas.
Well's Craig Clay had two good efforts but Bain was up to the task, while Ojamaa had a couple of pot shots at the other end with no joy.
The home fans were furious at the end of the match as Motherwell face up to a relegation battle.
Dundee boss Paul Hartley: "The first half we won the game with some outstanding play and goals, and carried it on from last week.
"We told them at half time to make sure we don't concede any goals. In the second half we didn't pass it as well and sometimes that happens when you have such a commanding lead, but overall the players were outstanding.
"We worked a little bit in the week about getting balls to the back to (Mark) O'Hara and (Marcus) Haber and that managed to pay off today, but the overall team performance was excellent."

The cookery expert and writer is to be replaced by Saturday Kitchen regular Andi Oliver on next year's show.
Leith made her last appearance during the series finale broadcast on Friday night, saying being on the show had brought her "huge pleasure" but that it was "time for a change".
Regular judges Matthew Fort and Oliver Peyton will return for the 12th series.
Leith, who is also a novelist, said she had enjoyed "eating and judging the very best in modern British cooking".
She said: "From the first Great British Menu for the Queen's 80th birthday to honouring those who fought on D-Day, I've been repeatedly amazed at the inventiveness and skill of the chefs.
"I am very proud of the banquets we've put together. However, with 11 banquets under my belt in more ways than one, I think it's time for a change and, with much hesitation, I've decided to relinquish my seat in the judging chamber."
She said the new judge would be "terrific", adding: "I hope she'll continue my good work in keeping Matthew and Oliver under some sort of control."
Andi Oliver, who is also a panellist on BBC Radio 4's The Kitchen Cabinet, said she was "thrilled" to be joining the show.
She said: "It's such an iconic programme and I have watched it religiously from the very beginning.
"I love that it celebrates the extraordinary levels of culinary excellence in this country, so being part of that and having the chance to taste some truly incredible food from the best chefs in the country is hugely exciting."
She first appeared on TV in the band Rip, Rig and Panic with Neneh Cherry, and has also presented from the Brit Awards and Glastonbury Festival. Her daughter is TV presenter Miquita Oliver.
Peyton said it was a "massive shock" to learn Leith was leaving, describing her as "a legend".
"I will truly miss Prue but I'm a huge fan of Andi's and can't wait for her to join us," he said.
Fort said he would miss Leith's "elegant presence, good humour, practical culinary sensibility and occasional verbal clip around the ears".
He described her replacement as "charming, funny and blessed with sound gastronomic judgement".
Chefs to have taken part in the series over the past 11 series include Angela Hartnett, Simon Rogan, Marcus Wareing, Lisa Allen and Jason Atherton.
Friday's finale saw Mark Abbott, Tommy Banks, Mark Froydenlund and Adam Reid - who have five Michelin stars between them - serving their dishes at a banquet for people who have been honoured by the Queen, in an event to mark her 90th birthday.
The first episode of the 2017 series will be the 500th since the show began.

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) applied them in 1989, after fears two firms, taken over by FirstGroup in 1996, could have too strong a bargaining position with the council.
The CMA said it was seeking views from a number of groups.
First Bristol said it "welcomed the decision to review these undertakings".
The company added it had "already assisted" the CMA as part of the review process.
The restrictions were implemented following the 1989 merger of two local bus companies Badgerline and Midland Red West.
The Monopolies and Mergers Commission, at the time, ruled the merger would remove competition for bus services contracted by the former Avon County Council.
The CMA said the merged company was "therefore required to sign up to a number of restrictions".
These included a cap on the amount they could receive from the local authority for running a tendered service - and a requirement to return any excess profit from such services.
The CMA said it was carrying out the review "to see if there has been a change in circumstances which justifies their removal or variation" and was "seeking views" from local authorities, bus operators and bodies representing bus passengers in Bristol and the surrounding area.
It said it aimed to publish the results of the review in the summer. | Restrictions on bus operator First Bristol, put in place almost 20 years ago, are to be reviewed to "see if they are still appropriate". | 38810441 | [

Between them, the 66 state-school pupils will receive scholarships worth $17m (£12m) from US universities.
The numbers of UK students in US universities has risen each year since tuition fees rose in England in 2012.
US ambassador Matthew Barzun praised the value of such "interconnectedness".
Mr Barzun said that such educational exchanges between the US and the UK allowed students to see beyond unrealistic "exaggerations" and "caricatures" of each others' cultures.
"It's a chance to see each other in three dimensions, not in caricature form," he told the BBC.
"It might not always be pretty, it's not always perfect, that's what makes the special relationship live."
But the strength of the special relationship between the US and the UK depended on accepting differences and looking outwards to the world.
Mr Barzun said Churchill's 1946 "sinews of peace" speech that introduced the phrase "special relationship" had been about the importance of international cooperation in difficult times.
"There is strength in diversity, there is a real cost to cutting connections and putting up walls," said the ambassador.
Mr Barzun said cooperation did not mean always having to agree or be the same.
"One of my least favourite diplomatic expressions is 'no daylight between us'," he said.
"It's usually said in an earnest tone.
"In most cases it's a ludicrously high standard for cooperation and doesn't account for what makes a relationship special.
"Think of two soldiers, shoulder to shoulder, there is plenty of daylight between them. Or FDR [Franklin Delano Roosevelt] and Churchill sitting on a bench, there is literally a space - and that daylight is healthy.
"We shouldn't try and paper over little differences.
"There's strength in that. That's what networks look like."
Mr Barzun also mentioned that when his term as ambassador finishes this year he will take back two favourite words from the UK to the US - "sorted" and "gutted".
There are 10,700 UK students in US universities - up by about 16% since tuition fees were increased in England to £9,000.
But the project run by the Sutton Trust education charity wants these international opportunities to be available to poorer students and those from families where no one has previously gone to university.
Of those who will be starting in US universities this autumn, the Sutton Trust says, 83% will be the first generation in their family to go to university.
Sir Peter Lampl, founder of the Sutton Trust, said the scholarships meant that many of these students could graduate without any debts.
And he hoped more young people in the UK would "realise that a university education in America is well within their grasp".
J Jeffry Louis, chairman of the US-UK Fulbright Commission, which supports the scheme, said: "This remarkable achievement demonstrates that American universities value the diverse talent, ambition and academic potential of the most deserving British state school students.
"Our special educational relationship crosses the Atlantic in both directions."
An additional summer school project run by the Sutton Trust will take 150 state-school students, selected from 1,200 applicants, to visit US universities. | A project helping disadvantaged UK pupils go to US universities has seen undergraduates accepted for courses starting in September 2016 at all of the prestigious Ivy League colleges. | 36548878 | [

Welsh's The Blade Artist, featuring the return of Trainspotting character Begbie, has been shortlisted for the Fiction Book of the Year award.
He is up against Kelman's latest novel Dirt Road, as well as the Man Booker Prize-nominated His Bloody Project by Graeme Macrae Burnet.
The winner will be announced in Edinburgh on 24 November.
Also shortlisted are The Sunlight Pilgrims by Granta's best young British novelist Jenni Fagan, Kevin MacNeil's The Brilliant & Forever, and This Must Be The Place from best-selling author Maggie O'Farrell.
The Saltire Society organises the awards, which cover poetry, research, non-fiction, history and first-time writers. Winners are given £2,000.
Kathleen Jamie and Don Paterson are among those shortlisted for the Poetry Book of the Year award, while Orkney author Amy Liptrot's The Outrun and John Kay's Other People's Money are two of the candidates for the non-fiction award.
Those in line for the First Book of the Year award include Scottish lawyer Isabel Buchanan for her biographical account of working on death-row cases in Pakistan, aged 23.
The winning book from each category will go on to compete for the Saltire Scottish Book of the Year award and a £6,000 prize, which last year went to Michel Faber for his novel The Book of Strange New Things.
Jim Tough, Saltire Society executive director, said: "Spanning academia, poetry, biography and prose, the sheer scale and variety of writing talent to be seen in the shortlists is remarkable.
"As always, excellence is evident across all awards and I know the judges will have their work cut out to decide upon winners." | Irvine Welsh and James Kelman are among the famous names in the running for this year's Saltire Literary Awards. | 37725523 | [

The game ebbed and flowed, from the brilliance of Jos Buttler, to Sri Lanka slipping to 15-4, then the hitting of Angelo Mathews taking it to the final over.
England know how destructive the competitive Mathews can be - he even scored half of his runs on one leg thanks to a problem with his left hamstring.
However, he lost strike towards the end and, after Chris Jordan repeated his knack of bowling excellent yorkers at the death, Ben Stokes was able to defend 15 off the final over.
In the end, England were good for their win. Eoin Morgan had the right men in the right places, they took pressure catches and, overall, they kept their cool. That, along with big players putting in big performances, is exactly what T20 cricket is about.
In the case of Buttler, England have never had a player so destructive or capable of batting like he does.
Media playback is not supported on this device
The Lancashire wicketkeeper, who made 66 not out from 37 balls, has a whole range of shots that, when you first see them, appear so risky.
However, Buttler has an amazing eye and he practises hard. He has established a technique that works for him, including flat-batted drives through the off side and flicks over his shoulder. He is a formidable opponent.
Alongside him is Stokes, who made a serious contribution to such a big, important match.
He hit the only ball he faced for six, ran out Lahiru Thirimanne with his first touch in the field, took a steepling catch to remove Chamara Kapugedera, then ensured Sri Lanka did not get the runs they needed off the final over.
Earlier in the tournament, Joe Root hit that magnificent 44-ball 83 to lead the chase of 230 against South Africa when defeat would have almost certainly sent England out. On Saturday, he took a brilliant catch in the 19th over.
These are key players who relish the biggest challenges and stand up when the going gets really tough.
Now, England head to a semi-final, almost certainly against New Zealand on Wednesday, with the advantage of having played twice on this Delhi ground.

While the Kiwis, unbeaten in topping Group 2, have been relying on their spinners on slow pitches, England have been playing a different, more pace-influenced game.
Even with that advantage, England will be the least fancied of the semi-finalists, regardless of who makes it through out of India and Australia on Sunday.
But, as we have been saying all along in this tournament, no team has ever gone through an entire World T20 unbeaten and the eventual winners will be the side that peaks at the right time.
The last four teams have only two games between them and the trophy. The semis and final will be incredibly difficult to predict because Twenty20 is hard to consistently play well - there's always a different area of your game coming under attack.
England should at least be confident of giving a good account of themselves. They are happier chasing, but they have won two games batting first.
If everything clicks, and they still have not played a match in this tournament where all departments have - against Sri Lanka the spinners went for a combined 63 runs in four overs - then they have a real chance.
When it comes to the pressure moments in a Twenty20, all you can do is stay calm and try to remain in control, even if you are under the cosh.
That is what England did against Sri Lanka and, if they can do it in two more matches, they have a chance of repeating the success of 2010. | The 10-run win over Sri Lanka that took England to the semi-finals of the World Twenty20 was a classic. | 35905642 | [

Sixteen men and eight women competed in the World Gravy Wrestling Championships at the Rose 'N' Bowl pub in Stacksteads, Lancashire.
Hundreds of people turned out to watch wrestlers from all over the country take part in the tenth event, held in aid of East Lancashire Hospice.
Organiser Andy Holt said it was "harder than it looks".
Mr Holt, who is the gravy monitor, has wrestled in the event eight times and said it was "very slippy out there".
He added: "It really does take it out of you, even if it is just two minutes."
The wrestling ring is a 14ft (4.3m) by 13ft (4m) pool which is padded to reduce the risk of injury.
Mr Holt, who makes the gravy at his black pudding factory, said he has had to change the recipe because the original attracted swarms of wasps to contestants.
Bouts are two minutes
Three judges award points on entertainment value, not just the wrestling
Losers get gravy bombed in the "laughing stocks"
Mr Holt said the best wrestler does not always win. He added: "The points system is more about entertainment."
Gandalf the Gravy (Joel Hicks), from Leicester, was defending the men's title, while Nicole Taylor-Lyons, 21, was aiming to recapture the women's event.
Mr Holt said: "It is crazy, but it is all about having fun and it is for a great cause." | Wrestlers in fancy dress have grappled for a world title in 1,000 litres of gravy. | 37213245 | [

The company says the new overhead compartments will allow passengers to store more hand luggage on its side.
The bins will be fitted to some 737 aircraft from the end of this year, the company said.
The new design will mean a 2in (5cm) reduction in headspace for passengers, it said, but air vent and light controls will be easier to reach.
The loss of headroom may be of some concern to taller passengers, some of whom already struggle with the amount of legroom in economy seating.
The new bins can be retrofitted to any of the "Next-Generation" 737s, of which 5,000 are currently in service.
Boeing says the balance of the bins has been shifted so they close without the need for a catch or the "bin assist mechanism" currently in use.
Travel writer Simon Calder told the BBC: "For the long-suffering passenger, this is mostly good news. By charging for luggage, the low-cost airlines have incentivised us to take everything on board.
"And guess what? There isn't enough room, so we've had to check in stuff at the gate.
"So this should help with that problem."
Boeing said the bins should speed up boarding and that "passengers will benefit from decreased anxiety about finding space for their carry-on bag when boarding a flight".
Alaska Airlines and Delta Air Airlines are the first two operators to place orders for the bins for their 737 fleets. | Boeing has shown off its "space bins" that can hold 50% more luggage than existing designs. | 32311556 | [

That steady stream of stories has led to the launch of a major public inquiry into their activities.
The breadth and nature of what is being alleged is almost too big to grasp, but it fundamentally comes down to a simple question of whether elements of the police were out of control.
So, here are seven key themes and allegations that lie in the road ahead - and some of the real practical and legal problems the inquiry faces.
Some police officers had relationships with women whom they met within the protest movements they had been deployed to infiltrate. Last year, the Metropolitan Police paid one woman who had a child with an officer £425,000 in compensation.
There are approximately a dozen civil claims for damages before the courts amid allegations that officers were expected to have relationships as part of their cover identity.
But how many did so and under what circumstances? This is a huge challenge for the inquiry.
How will it find out and inform the public if the undercover officer involved remains unknown, there are no records and, crucially, the partner never had any suspicions?
During the 40-year history of the Special Demonstration Squad (SDS) - the police unit at the heart of many of the allegations - officers used 106 "covert identities". According to a published police review, some 42 of them were almost certainly taken from children who had died - and the parents did not know about it. In 2013, a senior officer said the practice wasn't sanctioned by Scotland Yard - yet it seemed to have gone on for years.
How many names were used? Who authorised it? Should the parents have known?
If the names of the dead children are revealed, will that identify the officers the police want to protect?
The undercover affair has so far led to more than 50 convictions being quashed after a failure to disclose that officers had infiltrated protest groups later accused of criminality.
The two largest cases relate to environmental protests at power stations, both of which involved Mark Kennedy, an officer with the National Public Order Intelligence Unit. He would drive protesters around, effectively facilitating demonstrations later found to have broken the law.
A review for the Home Office said there could be a possible further 83 miscarriages of justice - although its author, Mark Ellison QC, couldn't be sure there were not more.
So will the inquiry look at allegations that officers lied in court?
John Jordan was convicted over his role in a protest in 1996 - but was cleared on appeal in 2013 after it emerged that his co-defendant was Jim Boyling, an undercover officer. The officer even gave evidence in character. Jordan has been taking legal action for a full explanation of what happened.
Peter Francis, the only former SDS officer speaking publicly, says that Scotland Yard kept intelligence files on MPs during the 1990s. During his time in Special Branch, he says he saw files on 10 Labour MPs which he and others would regularly update.
So what did that monitoring amount to? Was the information on MPs incidental, gathered as part of watching campaign groups? Or did some Scotland Yard chiefs want deeper intelligence on the MPs?
Separate allegations have emerged that undercover officers also gathered information on some trade union activists.
The most toxic allegation so far has been that Scotland Yard had a "spy" in the Lawrence family camp. He later had a meeting with a senior officer helping to prepare Scotland Yard for the public inquiry into the London teenager's murder.
The exact nature of what information was gathered, why it was gathered and how it was used remains unclear.
The then Metropolitan Police Commissioner and now peer, Lord Condon, has said that had he known of the existence of such undercover action in relation to the Lawrences, he would have stopped it.
Peter Francis spent four years deep undercover and he eventually became mentally ill, suffering post-traumatic stress disorder. Today, he says some of what he was asked to do was wrong - and he wants senior officers to account for the way they deployed officers like him. He is not the only officer to have had concerns about the ethics of their work.
Phase two of the inquiry is expected to look at the "operational governance and oversight" of undercover operations, including how officers are selected, trained, managed and cared for.
The most important acronym in this inquiry stands for Neither Confirm Nor Deny. It's a legal position adopted by the police and other security agencies in cases involving protection of undercover officers or sensitive sources. The first potential legal battle will come if police will refuse to admit whether or not they had officers deployed in specific circumstances.
Official reports have already revealed the existence of some of these undercover officers - such as the one who was in a campaign group close to the Lawrence family - but they remain anonymous.
If officers remain in the shadows because, quite simply, they were incredibly good at their job, police chiefs will almost certainly argue that the public interest lies in protecting their anonymity because of their legal duty of care. | The allegations of wrongdoing by undercover police officers that have emerged since 2011 have been extraordinary. | 33682769 | [

The charity says people commonly associate Remembrance and the poppy with older, World War Two veterans.
The "rethink Remembrance" campaign will launch with a video installation in London, featuring four videos of young veterans' experiences.
It comes as some charities have said younger veterans are being forgotten.
The Royal British Legion said the aim of the campaign was to challenge common perceptions.
Its survey of 1,000 adults found most only associate the poppy, Remembrance and the charity's work with the two World Wars and elderly veterans.
Only just over a third of those surveyed identified Remembrance with thinking about those who are currently serving.
In the charity's videos, World War Two veterans aged between 88 and 97 tell a story of conflict or injury.
But it is later revealed in the videos that the stories are not their own, and actually belong to the younger veterans or service personnel.
The younger people featured in the videos are:
Stewart Harris, from Rhyl, served in the 1st Battalion Welsh for 13 years and has post-traumatic stress disorder.
He suffered brain damage and was left blind in his right eye and partially deaf after the Mastiff vehicle he was travelling in was hit by an IED in Afghanistan in 2012.
His story is read in the video by 92-year-old World War Two Royal Naval veteran Roy Miller.
Mr Miller tells the camera: "I was so low, I was shouting at the kids, getting angry at my wife - I begged her to leave me.
"I felt alone, helpless. I was taught that soldiers don't discuss feelings.
"So I walked into the waves. I can still feel the water around my feet. And suddenly, I had this vision of my girls - they saved me.
"I stopped, walked home, and got help."
This year's fundraising target for the Poppy Appeal has been set at a record amount of £43m, and 150,000 collectors will aim to hand out more than 45 million poppies across the country.
Claire Rowcliffe, director of fundraising at the Royal British Legion, said: "Individuals and families from across the generations of our Armed Forces community need the Legion's support, as well as our older veterans.
"When you pin on your poppy, or pause to remember, we're inviting you to rethink Remembrance and who it is you picture when you think of a veteran.
"We hope through our campaign this year we will help people understand who they are supporting when they donate."
The video installation in Paternoster Square, near St Paul's Cathedral, will be open to the public from 27 to 29 October. | This year's Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal is calling on members of the public to recognise younger veterans and serving soldiers. | 37780257 | [

Officers seized the Maserati GranCabrio - a basic model of which can cost up to £100,000 new - on King's Road in Kingston on suspicion of it having no insurance.
The Met said the car was impounded and the owner would be summoned to court.
If found guilty the owner, who has not been named, faces a minimum £300 fine and six points on their licence
A Kingston Police spokesman said the driver was pulled over because officers thought the car seemed very expensive for a learner to be driving.

Guptill hit four sixes in his 87 from 58 balls, while skipper Williamson took only 48 deliveries for his 72.
Earlier, Umar Akmal's unbeaten 56 from 27 balls had helped Pakistan reach 168-7 from their 20 overs in Hamilton.
The series is now level at 1-1 with the decider in Wellington on Friday.
None of the Pakistan bowlers were able to break the Guptill-Williamson partnership - with Mohammad Amir, playing only his second international game since returning from a five-year ban for spot-fixing, one of their most expensive bowlers.
Amir's three overs cost 34 runs, fellow left-arm paceman Wahab Riaz leaked 30 in three overs, while skipper Shahid Afridi (0-38) was hit for successive sixes by Guptill.
The only chance either batsman offered was when spinner Shoaib Malik spilled a return catch from Williamson when he had 61.
The Black Caps, experimenting ahead of the forthcoming World Twenty20, rested pacemen Trent Boult and Matt Henry, giving the new ball to left-arm spinner Mitchell Santner. | Martin Guptill and Kane Williamson broke the record for the highest stand in Twenty20 international cricket, with a match-winning 171 as New Zealand crushed Pakistan by 10 wickets. | 35337796 | [

Every owner of a gadget piloted via a touchscreen has spent time rubbing it with a tissue, a cloth or a sleeve gripped round the heel of the hand to banish those unsightly marks.
It's not that human fingers are filthy. Those smears come about thanks to a mix of physiology and good grooming habits, said Steve Block, an electronics industry scientist at Dow Corning, which makes coatings that get applied to touchable screens.
"There's a whole range of things that can contaminate those surfaces," he said. "There are natural oils on the fingers as well as the lotions people put their hands. Then there's cosmetics and the times when you hold your telephone up to your ear and it's sweaty."
Small wonder then that the sight of those smears is unsettling.
Thankfully, there is no reason to fret, as those smears are safe if your touchscreen gadget is kept just for you, said Prof Charles Gerba, a microbiologist at the University of Arizona.
"Touchscreens are a source of a wide range of microbes, but not much of an issue if you do not share it among other people - since, if you are the only one using it, it's only your germs," he told the BBC.
Sadly, that is not the case when those touchscreens are put to more promiscuous use, such as in a supermarket at the self-checkout, by patients in a doctor's waiting room or in a family that passes the gadget around.
Studies by Prof Gerba and colleagues have shown how important an infection vector touchscreens can be when used by lots of people.
"We have traced the spread of MRSA skin infection among teenagers that shared a cell phone," he said. "You will find MRSA on touchscreens on self-checkout screens in grocery stores in the US."
Touchscreens can be "reservoirs of opportunistic pathogens", said Prof Gerba in a small-scale study that uncovered MRSA, E. coli and C. difficile and many others on screens in hospitals and supermarkets.
It is worth keeping those surfaces clean, said Prof Gerba, even if the chances of getting ill are pretty low.
"For viruses it can take as little one to make you ill, but this varies a lot depending on the organisms. Some bacteria take 100,000 cells to cause illness, others a few hundred," he said. "It just depends if you come across the right organisms at the right time."
The study was carried out to test the best way of keeping those screens clean and killing off the bad bugs. The good news is that wipes impregnated with sodium hypochlorite (bleach), did a good job of disinfecting the screens. However, regularly wiping with bleach might not be a solution that domestic owners of very shiny, very expensive gadgets would favour.
Thankfully, other fixes are at hand.
To begin with, said Mr Block, screen makers are constantly refining the materials and coatings that make gadgets easy to wipe and keep clean. Those transparent coverings are glass, he said, but of a very particular type. Typically, he said, they and the coatings covering them are engineered to the most minute scale.
"They are made of very specialised molecules that are designed for these type of applications," said Mr Block. The silicone coatings that are now becoming standard are far more resistant to the secretions and substances that can end up on a touchscreen.
Also, said Mr Block, they are tougher and ensure a screen will stay responsive years after it is bought.
There are other innovations that might help too. Japanese materials company Toray has come up with a coating that, it claims, repels up to 50% more of the oil and other residues found on fingers. In addition, once applied, the coating dries into millions of tiny wrinkles that help hide smudges to help screens stay sharp.
The fourth generation of Gorilla Glass, which is used on many touchscreen gadgets, will include an antibacterial coating that can kill those pesky bugs by themselves. That coating is likely to start being used within the next couple of years.
Then there is the work of scientists at Harvard University's School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, who turned to a carnivorous plant to develop their screen coating. They found that the walls of the pitcher plant are slippery because they are covered with tiny bumps that trap water. Insects that can easily walk on walls struggle to make any progress on this surface because it repels the oils on their feet.
By mimicking this surface and applying an ultra-thin layer of lubricant, the researchers created a surface inimical to bodily substances. The work is still in the lab but is more evidence that those screens are only going to get harder to smear and easier to use.
"Any dirt is a barrier between user experience and a display," said Mr Block. | Touchscreen tablets and phones are popular in almost every respect but one - the smears that fingers leave on the screen. | 23133453 | [

Across the UK there were 96,910 residential transactions in June, on a seasonally-adjusted basis.
That is a fall of 3.3% on May's number, and the lowest total since October 2016.
The figures, from HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC), represent a small annual rise, up 1% in comparison with June 2016.
However, last summer's sales were depressed by the introduction of additional stamp duty rates in April.
It is also the first time this year that the number of transactions has fallen below 100,000 a month.
Property experts think the figures give a more accurate indication of the health of the market than house prices.
"These figures are disappointing as we would have expected them to be much higher bearing in mind the turmoil in the market this time last year following the introduction of the stamp duty surcharge," said Jeremy Leaf, a north London estate agent.

Hands shot up in agreement with what, in my humble opinion, was a pretty good case for Yorkshire declaring its immediate independence.
But that was in the 1960s and the average age of those listening at the local schools' debating competition was probably under 15.
We have all grown up a bit since then and so have the arguments and aspirations.
The debate over the past decade has been about whether Yorkshire would be better off if it could take more control from Westminster and Whitehall.
In the shadow of a referendum on independence for Scotland the opportunities for Yorkshire have clearly never been greater.
"Whatever happens in the coming Scottish independence vote, there will be more devolution," says Peter Box, the veteran leader of Wakefield City Council and a serious player in the debate.
He is also the chairman of the combined authority which was recently set up with the government's blessing to allow neighbouring councils to take full responsibility for all public investment in road and rail links across West Yorkshire.
But Mr Box is firmly of the opinion that within 10 years Yorkshire will want more.
"The genie is out the bottle, we want more power and I actually believe Yorkshire should be independent," he said.
The fledging new political party Yorkshire First is also eyeing events in Scotland.
"Five million Scots should, of course, be represented, but so should other regions, says its leader Richard Carter.
"Yorkshire has a population of five million, an economy twice that of Wales, but with the powers of neither."
The government appears to be leaving the door ajar as far as giving limited devolved powers to at least some sort of "Northern" political body is concerned.
Over the past few months David Cameron, George Osborne and Nick Clegg have all lugged their soapboxes to Yorkshire promising billions of extra taxpayers' money will be heading "up north" accompanied by local autonomy on how it should be spent.
The Labour leader Ed Miliband gave similar assurances as I trailed him around a factory floor near Leeds.
It is over a decade since the last Labour government's proposals for directly-elected regional assemblies for the three northern regions of Yorkshire, the North West and the North East drowned in a sea of public apathy.
"Times have changed," I was assured by James Alexander, one of the new generation of senior Labour leaders that have emerged in Yorkshire since then.
"The idea got swamped by arguments over a new tier of government and how much more professional politicians would be paid," he told me in an interview for the BBC Look North.
"Now we need a better way of making sure our needs are determined here in Yorkshire and not in Westminster."
Despite the obvious high-level political support for more devolved powers practical details are scarce. It is more likely to be channelled through groups of existing bodies such as Local Enterprise Partnerships, city regions or local councils than any new directly elected assembly.
As for my long-forgotten speech calling for independence? Well, it turned out the audience much preferred the ideas put forward by another debater.
He argued Yorkshire folk ought be doing more to join the sexual revolution - well, it was the 1960s. | There were around 100 at the event in Wakefield listening to my passionate speech. | 29061972 | [

On Saturday, the British Medical Association (BMA) announced it would be asking members in England about whether they wanted to take action.
The dispute is over a new contract due to be introduced in August 2016.
Critics say it could mean 15% pay cuts with "normal hours" re-classed as being from 7am to 10pm, Monday to Saturday.
It means extra payments for unsociable working will only be given outside of these times, rather than the current arrangements of 7am to 7pm, Monday to Friday.
News of the health secretary's intervention came on the day that a few thousand junior doctors held a protest in central London.
The day's developments did not stop a few thousand junior doctors, some in hospital scrubs, gathering to protest at Westminster.
They chanted "BMA, BMA" with the new chair of the association's junior doctors committee Dr Johann Malawana describing the gathering as probably unprecedented.
Later they marched with their placards up Whitehall and for a time blocked the pavement and road outside the Department of Health.
There is no doubt feelings are running high over the government's planned reforms to junior doctors' contracts. Much now rests on the planned meeting between Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt and Dr Malawana.
The government has described the current contracts as "outdated" and "unfair", pointing out they were introduced in the 1990s.
Ministers drew up plans to change the contract in 2012 but talks broke down last year.
The government has indicated it will impose the new contract next year in England, prompting the BMA to ask its 53,000 junior doctor members about industrial action.
But Mr Hunt has now offered the BMA junior doctors' leaders the opportunity to meet this week to see if they can find a solution to the dispute - the BMA has agreed to attend.
Scotland and Wales have said they do not want to introduce the changes, while Northern Ireland has yet to make a decision.
Danny Mortimer, chief executive of NHS Employers, which negotiates contracts on behalf of the government, said he hoped the meeting would bring the two sides closer.
"Our preferred position has always been to negotiate with the BMA."
Dr Johann Malawana, BMA junior doctor committee chairman, said his organisation "has been clear about what it needs to hear from the government and NHS Employers to bring us back to the negotiating table".
"We will be continuing with our action unless the government themselves can give us the absolute assurances we seek on behalf of the doctors we represent." | Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt has offered to meet junior doctors' leaders after the decision to ballot medics on industrial action over a new contract. | 34383670 | [

Mr Murray, who was elected as Labour's only Scottish MP in 2015, held the Edinburgh South seat with 26,269 votes. The SNP came second with 10,755 votes.
His majority increased significantly from 2,637 two years ago to 15,514.
Across the capital, the SNP held three seats - Edinburgh South West, North and Leith and Edinburgh East, while the Lib Dems gained Edinburgh West.
In his victory speech at the Meadowbank count in the city, Mr Murray told his supporters: "I stood here two years ago bemoaning the loss of my colleagues but tonight the Scottish Labour Party is back.
"Nobody wanted this general election. Theresa May called this election to get rid of scrutiny in parliament for the hard Brexit she wanted to deliver.
"Well the people of this country, the people of Scotland, have said tonight that we do not give the prime minister a blank cheque for a hard Tory Brexit."
Mr Murray also told Nicola Sturgeon that his party's result was a verdict on SNP calls for another vote on independence.
He said: "And to the first minister, we said at the start of this campaign that Scotland didn't want a second independence referendum.
"The people of Edinburgh South have hammered the final nail in that coffin tonight."
Tommy Sheppard won Edinburgh East with 18,509 votes, beating Labour's Patsy King into second place on 15,084.
"The overwhelming story of tonight is that this is the Conservative Party snatching defeat from the jaws of victory," Mr Sheppard said.
"There is one clear victor in the general election in Scotland, one party that is on course to win more seats than all other parties put together, and that party is the Scottish National Party.
"Ruth Davidson sought a mandate in this election to try to prevent the people of Scotland having a choice about their future and she has overwhelmingly been rejected by the Scottish electorate."
Nationalist Deidre Brock held her constituency Edinburgh North and Leith with 19,243 votes, despite a strong challenge from Labour's Gordon Munro on 17,618.
The SNP's Joanna Cherry also kept her Edinburgh South West seat, with 17,575 votes to the Conservative Miles Briggs on 16,478.
But Liberal Democrat Christine Jardine took Edinburgh West with 18,108 votes to 15,120 for the SNP's Toni Giugliano.
The seat was won by Michelle Thomson in 2015, who later resigned the SNP whip after allegations relating to property transactions.
Ms Jardine said: "We've been away for a wee while but the Scottish Liberal Democrats are back."
Across the Forth in Fife, the SNP held the area's North East seat with just two votes.
It was the final Scottish seat to declare in the UK general election, after a third recount.
The SNP's Stephen Gethins won 13,743 votes compared with Janet Riches of the Scottish Liberal Democrats who polled 13,741.
It is the joint-third narrowest victory in UK general election history and the closest since the Lib Dem's Mark Oaten won Winchester by two in 1997.
Mr Gethins saw his majority cut from 4,344 in 2015.
Labour's Lesley Laird took Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath from the SNP with 17,016 votes, while the SNP's Peter Grant held Glenrothes with a much reduced majority over Labour's Altany Craik.
The SNP also held Dunfermline and West Fife, with Douglas Chapman securing 18,121 votes compared with Labour's Cara Hilton on 17,277. | Labour's Ian Murray has increased his majority by more than 15,000 to secure his seat in Scotland's capital. | 40216741 | [

The move is part of an acrimonious battle for control of the media empire that includes Paramount and MTV.
Independent director Frederic Salerno has contested the move, and Mr Dauman remains chief executive.
Mr Redstone's cinema chain, National Amusements, has filed with a Delaware court to approve the changes.
The health of the 93-year-old Mr Redstone and his daughter Shari's influence over him have been questioned.
Mr Salerno said he was filing a countersuit.
In May, Mr Dauman and board member George Abrams were removed as directors of National Amusements.
Mr Dauman then filed a lawsuit on behalf of himself and Mr Abrams against Shari Redstone, claiming she had manipulated her father to gain more control of the board.
Ms Redstone said at the time that it was "absurd" to say she controlled her father. | Viacom chairman Sumner Redstone is seeking to remove the firm's chief executive Philippe Dauman and four other directors from the Viacom board. | 36555657 | [

Research by The Local Data Company (LDC) and the University of Stirling found the average retail vacancy rate dropped from 14.5% to 13.7%.
East Kilbride has the highest rate of all Scottish towns, at 33%, while Inverurie has the lowest, at 1%.
The study found that 40% of Scotland's empty shops have remained vacant for more than three years.
It also suggested that town vacancy rates have improved at twice the rate of Scotland's cities.
The most improved towns were Anstruther, Clydebank, Dumfries, Inverkeithing, Lochgelly, Peterhead and Pitlochry.
Five towns have maintained vacancy rates at less than 6% for the last three years - Inverurie, Ellon, North Berwick, Dunbar and Biggar.
At the other end of the scale, rates in five towns have remained above 22% over the last three years - Banff, Dumbarton, Cumbernauld, East Kilbride and Ardrossan.
Dundee had the highest proportion of persistent vacancy, at 11%.
Anstruther was found to have the highest proportion of independent shops (86%), while Gretna had the lowest (5%).
Leisure is an increasingly significant presence in cities and towns, accounting for 39% of total stock in Edinburgh and Glasgow. Leisure businesses also account for more than 30% of shops in Renfrew, St Andrews, Lochgelly and Fort William.
Aberdeen has the highest proportion of charity shops for a city, at 4.2%, while Penicuik in Midlothian has the greatest proportion of charity shops for a town, at 8.9%.
Matthew Hopkinson, director at the Local Data Company, said: "The report identifies important trends as well as quashes common perceptions that deprived towns can't succeed.
"Of particular significance is that in many Scottish towns almost 40% of the vacant units have been vacant for more than three years.
"Such a stark figure implies obsolescence and a major barrier to healthy and sustainable places and communities."
The study looked into the health of high streets in more than 100 cities and towns north of the border. | The number of empty shops on Scotland's high streets has fallen in the past year, according to a new report. | 30278082 | [

Iain Duncan Smith, in what he said was his first interview on Europe in 10 years, has just told me that staying in the EU puts us at increased risk of an appalling attack like the terrorist killings in Paris, while the prime minister was on the TV sofa this morning saying that we are safer in the union.
This is the new, if temporary reality: cabinet ministers disagreeing totally with each other on the record, and in public. Traditionally unthinkable, certainly risky, and difficult to control.
Plenty of disagreements are spilling out into the public domain now. After lots of speculation, Boris Johnson has just declared he'll be campaigning for Britain to leave the EU. But many are still wondering about the motivations that lie behind his decision.
Unless Machiavellian machinations deep in the Conservative party interest you, you probably shouldn't read much further. But believe me, on long days in Westminster, this is the kind of hypothesising that concerns politicians and their teams.
Ready?
Conspiracy One - Michael Gove's decision to go with the Vote Leave campaign was taken to make sure that Chancellor George Osborne will be challenged in the eventual Tory leadership by someone who is a chum, who looks on him favourably, but who would get onto the final ballot (which crucially only has two contenders) as someone who can claim to the party membership which is broadly Eurosceptic, that they fought to leave the EU, even though they were then sadly defeated.
This, so Conspiracy One goes, is why Mr Gove's decision to join Vote Leave has not impressed some true believers in the cause and, in any case, his public image may well not be a benefit to them.
Conspiracy Two - Doing the rounds inside Number 10 and Number 11 (the chancellor's abode) so the theory goes, is that Boris is intent on becoming 'The Man Who Tried'. What? Well, Downing Street has concluded that Mr Johnson is going for Leave precisely because he is confident that they will lose.
This allows him to create the perfect platform for his leadership ambition - campaign for Leave, Remain wins, but Boris manages to then glide onto the leadership ballot as the man who gave it his damnedest, didn't quite pull it off, but can scoop up oodles of votes from the broken-hearted Tory membership, despairing in defeat, but ready to go over the top for their hero.
This kills Mr Gove, or anyone else's chances of opposing Mr Osborne in the final round of the leadership contest.
If you got this far, and feel enlightened by it all, then marvellous. If it seems fanciful, then don't say I didn't warn you!
But with the prime minister having already announced that he's leaving his job before the next election, there is no escaping the fact that the future of the Tory leadership is a factor in both sides' campaigns. | Forgive me if you are not a fan of political conspiracy, and on a day like today you don't have to look very far for huge ideological disputes, even if they're not quite yet punch-ups. | 35626143 | [

Six suicide attackers and an Afghan security guard were killed. At least 17 civilians were injured.
A minibus was detonated but another bomb-laden car defused, police said.
The Taliban, who have launched several high-profile raids on Kabul, said they were behind the attack.
The BBC's Bilal Sarwary in Kabul says the attacked area is often packed with civilians who come to collect passports and national identity cards at the interior ministry.
Intelligence chief Gen Zaher Zaher told the BBC the clearance operation was now over.
The area affected in central Kabul is heavily barricaded - and the NDS compound, which also houses several Western embassies, is surrounded by tall, thick cement walls designed to protect it from bomb blasts.
A senior Afghan security official told the BBC that the attackers targeted the NDS unit where suicide attackers and key Taliban commanders are interrogated.
The NDS said that one suicide attacker drove a minibus which exploded outside the NDS building.
Five others, armed with semi-automatic weapons and hand grenades, then fought the security forces for 15 minutes before being killed by guards.
According to the NDS, another vehicle packed with explosives was defused shortly afterwards.
The main explosion took place around noon local time (07:30 GMT). A plume of smoke rose from the area, and gunfire and police sirens were then heard.
One eyewitness, Mohammad Zia, told Associated Press that the vehicle with the bomb inside drove up to the gates of the barricaded NDS building and then was detonated.
A number of wrecked cars could be seen.
Shop owner Qais Ahmad told Reuters: "I was inside the shop when I heard noises and a huge bang. All the windows in my shop were destroyed and injured my head."
The attack comes shortly after the return from the US of President Hamid Karzai, who was discussing the future of his country after the Nato-led troops withdraw at the end of next year with President Barack Obama.
Wednesday's attack on the embassy area of Kabul is the first since November, when a suicide bomber killed two Afghan security guards and wounded three.
Last month, NDS chief Asadullah Khalid was wounded in a Taliban suicide bombing in the Taymeni area of central Kabul.
The Taliban said the attacker had posed as a peace messenger.
Mr Khalid has been in the job since September and has a reputation for being fiercely anti-Taliban.
Militant groups continue to mount regular attacks in Afghanistan, raising questions as to how the Afghan security forces will cope after 2014. | Suicide bombers have attacked a building belonging to Afghanistan's National Directorate of Security (NDS) in the capital, Kabul, officials have told the BBC. | 21039927 | [

The 50-year-old Dubliner won two league titles with the Crues in 1995 and 1997 and began his managerial career at Seaview before taking charge of several League of Ireland clubs.
His most recent position was as Roddy Collins' assistant at Waterford United.
He replaces Kieran Harding, who quit last month after Carrick lost seven of their opening nine games.
Callaghan was capped for the Republic of Ireland at Under-21 level.
The defender played for Shelbourne, St Patrick's Athletic and English clubs Stoke City, Oldham, Crewe and Preston as well as having a successful spell in the Irish League with Crusaders.
After replacing Roy Walker as manager for the 1998/99 season, he gained further managerial experience in the League of Ireland with Athlone Town, Longford Town, Bohemians and UCD.
"I would like to transfer the identity of the club onto a professional platform and I look forward to working with all key stakeholders to achieve this objective," he said.
"It's a league I have achieved great success as a player and a manager.
"I am confident of improving the current squad's tactical, technical, psychological and physical abilities."
Club secretary David Hilditch said he hopes the appointment "will bring stability to matters on the field" and develop the club.
Callaghan's first game in charge will be an Irish Premiership match at home to Glenavon on Saturday.
The club are in 11th place with four points from 11 games, with only Portadown further adrift because of their points deduction. | Former Crusaders defender and player-manager Aaron Callaghan is the new manager of Carrick Rangers. | 37641671 | [

He was put on a flight from Paris to Moscow on Tuesday evening, the French interior ministry said.
Mr Shprygin had previously been expelled on Saturday, a week after fan violence marred Russia's Euro 2016 match with England.
But he returned overland via Spain, and was arrested at the Russia-Wales match in Toulouse on Monday.
He is reported to hold far-right views and his All-Russia Supporters' Union is backed by the Kremlin.
Mr Shprygin said four other Russians among those expelled on Saturday had also managed to get back into France for the match against Wales.
Investigators believe he flew to Barcelona and crossed the border by car to travel to the French city of Toulouse, where Russia lost 3-0 to Wales.
The Russian football team are also going home, having failed to go through to the quarter finals with only one point in the group stage. | The French authorities have expelled controversial Russia fan leader Alexander Shprygin for a second time. | 36593431 | [

Terry, the founder and chief executive of Ashleys Kenya, a beauty company with more than 240 employees, adds: "But now all that has changed. You are considered an entrepreneur."
Twenty years ago when her then-employer, Diners International, quit Nairobi she did what she had always wanted to do, and opened a hair salon.
Today, walking around one of her 12 hair salons in the upmarket Lavington area of Nairobi, she greets her clients with a broad smile as she moves along the row of hairdryers.
Towards one corner of the room, three hairdressers hover over a customer as they twist and turn her hair braids.
In a partially enclosed area, another woman enjoys a manicure and pedicure while sipping orange juice. The pampering is part of the company's mission statement - to be the most professionally run chain of salons in Kenya.
And it is not just the customers who are getting a makeover - so are Terry's recruits.
As her business grew she realised there was a need for a larger skilled workforce.
"We realised that we could not sustain the business without training," she explains.
Terry now runs three training centres under the Ashleys brand that offer her students internationally respected beauty qualifications.
The training centres also offer services to members of the public as a way of providing real-life experience to the students.
There is a hushed tone in one classroom as students undertake a mock examination in hairdressing, a teacher is watching keenly as the students work.
Within two weeks the students in this class will undertake their final examinations before graduating.
Some of the students who graduate from the training centres are taken on by Terry while others are hired by other companies.
Ashleys is also the current holder of the local franchise of the Miss World beauty pageant - known as Miss World Kenya.
The BBC's business teams across Africa meet the continent's entrepreneurs who are starting up new enterprises and seeking to create big opportunities.

"We were sponsors for two years and when they were ready to change the franchise holder, they approached me, and asked whether we would be interested," says Terry.
Auditions for Miss World Kenya are usually carried out in different parts of the country before a final elimination round is held and the overall winner announced.
"I have a bias in trying to bring up young women to have confidence in themselves and create employment. I want women to celebrate their beauty," she says.
But it hasn't all been easy.
After the terrorist attack at Nairobi's Westgate shopping centre in September 2013, in which more than 65 people were killed, the company was forced to shut down one of its branches, which was located in the complex.
Terry has since opened a new branch in a different mall and the staff have been relocated.
Not content with 12 salons, three training schools and running the national beauty pageant, she is also heading into retail.
The first Ashleys cosmetic shop has already opened in Nairobi.
"It makes it easier for clients and other outsiders to come and get premium products from us," she says.
"Now that we have ventured into cosmetics, I would not rule out Ashleys starting our own line in the future." | "When we were starting out, if you were a woman and you went to the bank for a loan, they wanted to know who you were married to and whether you had permission to be in business," says Terry Mungai. | 29065811 | [

That question is even more pertinent as Labour and Plaid Cymru talk about what they can and cannot agree on.
Much of the so called "economic" debate has been about its cost - whether we can afford £1bn, and whether the cheaper Blue Route would be a better option .
That is a very different question from whether the Welsh economy would be stronger with it, and weaker without.
There is little disagreement that the M4 between Cardiff West services and Magor, east of Newport, is regularly congested.
And that slows down the A48M and the A470.
There's also little disagreement that the M4 is busiest around Newport, partly because of the unusually large number of junctions which encourages local people use the motorway as a route between the various suburbs of the city.
To really understand the problems we need to look at where employment in south east Wales has grown up over the last twenty years.
Much of it has been developed on new sites along the motorway.
It was part of the old Welsh Development Agency's policy in the late 1980s and early 90s to build big business parks, easily accessible by car.
Imperial Park, Celtic Springs, Cleppa Park and Cardiff Gate are all examples of that.
Many thousands of commuters travel between the Severn Bridge and at least as far west as Swansea to work for companies on those parks.
These developments, and the work they offer, have also been a magnet to people living in the Gwent and Rhymney valleys who may have found it a challenge getting work closer to home.
Significantly, the Welsh Government's document arguing for the Black Route clearly shows that the highest concentration of traffic is not at Brynglas but at Tredegar Park, where the main road from the Gwent valleys, the M4, the A48 and a host of industrial parks all meet.
The cheaper Blue Route would take westbound traffic off the M4 east of Newport but it is hard to see how it would affect the many thousands who travel south towards the motorway.
The big question in terms of easing congestion is how much the Metro integrated road-and-rail transport network will change commuters' patterns.
It partly depends on whether the full Metro plans are implemented, how well and how quickly.
Importantly, the proposed network does include a station at Cleppa Park - the centre of the family of business parks to the west of Newport - and other stops that may tempt people out of their cars.
There is also a station planned for the Royal Gwent Hospital.
If we had a public transport system that carried people from where they tend to live to where the work is - and where they want to go for shopping and hospital visits - then would we need a whole new motorway?
The economic argument for the M4 Black Route centres on time and money lost due to congestion, the poor image that gives of Wales as a modern place to do businesses, and the theory that concentrations of economic activity tend to multiply more quickly than if businesses are more isolated.
Wales' economic weakness centres around having too high a proportion of low-skilled low-value jobs, not enough headquarters, and not enough innovation .
Perhaps the biggest question is not about the price of an upgrade of the M4, but what Wales will get from it.
It's not really about £1bn or £380m - it's about what we get from that.
How much would either route answer the really big challenges of the Welsh economy?
Would Wales become home to more research and development, for instance, with speedier travel along the M4? And would that be the magic factor for encouraging new or growing tech firms to be headquartered here?
That's what Wales really needs. | So would the Welsh economy be weaker without the M4 Black Route - or for that matter without any M4 upgrade? | 36287864 | [

Fifa delegates are voting on their new president, but the incumbent Mr Blatter has refused to withdraw from the contest, despite the arrest of senior colleagues on major corruption charges.
The PM said Fifa could only rebuild its credibility if Mr Blatter left.
It comes as the UK's Serious Fraud Office (SFO) said it was looking at material relating to the allegations.
Seven senior Fifa officials were arrested at a hotel in Switzerland on Wednesday.
The US Justice Department (DOJ) has charged 14 people with racketeering, wire fraud and money laundering conspiracy.
Mr Cameron's comments followed Mr Blatter's call for unity at Fifa as delegates prepare to vote on his presidency.
Mr Blatter, who is expected to win a fifth term, said: "I am appealing to unity and team spirit so we can move forward together."
But speaking in Berlin, Mr Cameron said: "You cannot have accusations of corruption at this level and on this scale in this organisation and pretend that the person currently leading it is the right person to take it forward.
"That cannot be the case. Frankly, what we've seen is the ugly side of the beautiful game and he should go.
"And the sooner that happens the better - the faster that organisation can start to rebuild its credibility, which is going to be so important because so many people around the world want to see this game properly managed, properly looked after, so we can all enjoy the World Cups of the future."
Mr Cameron, who is holding EU reform talks with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, said it was "unthinkable" that Mr Blatter should stay.
He also said he would be "guided" by the Football Association (FA) chairman, Greg Dyke, over the question of whether the bids for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups should be opened.
Mr Dyke suggested earlier that he would not rule out a boycott of the major football tournaments if Mr Blatter remains at the helm of Fifa.
The Union of European Football Associations (Uefa), Europe's governing body, may consider boycotting future World Cups if Mr Blatter wins Friday's vote, according to Scottish FA chief executive Stewart Regan.
Meanwhile, the SFO said it was actively assessing "material in its possession" relating to Fifa corruption allegations.
It said it had "made plain that it stands ready to assist ongoing international criminal investigations".
It said its probe had been ongoing for months, before Wednesday's indictments.
Despite a global media and sporting storm, Fifa president Sepp Blatter is seeking re-election for a fifth term, with the only challenge coming from Jordan's Prince Ali bin al-Hussein.
The vote is taking place at the Fifa World Congress meeting in Zurich, Switzerland.
The SFO said it was not willing to comment further on the nature of material in its possession or current activity in this area.
It added that it had not launched a formal criminal investigation. But it said there were two ways in which it could get involved - if the SFO opened a formal criminal investigation itself or provided "mutual legal assistance" to overseas law enforcement.
It also says it has made plain to both US and Swiss authorities that it stands ready to assist.
"There are currently international criminal investigations into allegations of corruption at Fifa. As such it would be inappropriate for the SFO to comment on the matter at this time," it said.
In November the SFO asked for anyone with information regarding alleged corruption in the bidding for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups to come forward.
However, it will not now say if its current actions relate to either of the above tournaments. | David Cameron has said Fifa president Sepp Blatter must resign, adding "the sooner that happens the better". | 32931356 | [

The vehicle overturned on the road between Mecca and Medina, Mena said.
There were 44 Egyptian pilgrims on board the bus when it crashed, the agency said.
The incident comes just days after 16 Palestinian pilgrims from the West Bank were killed when their bus crashed in Jordan on its way to Saudi Arabia.
The groups were both travelling to Mecca to perform the lesser Islamic pilgrimage, or Umrah. | Nineteen people have been killed after a bus carrying Egyptian pilgrims crashed in Saudi Arabia, Egypt's state-run Mena news agency says. | 35851500 | [

The chief executive of Twitter Dick Costolo didn't exactly hold back in a leaked memo to staff.
Charles Sherwin went on ITV's Take Me Out in 2012 looking for love, but ended up with a string of abuse from Twitter trolls.
Now the farmer's told Newsbeat the site needs to do more to punish trolls, and stop them ruining it for everyone else.
The Cheshire lad remembers getting some pretty nasty tweets.
"They said that my farm wanted burning down, and my cows wanted poisoning.
"When someone wants to knife and kill you, that's the worse anybody can be told."
Twitter's boss is worried they could be driving users away, and Charles only uses Facebook now, as he thinks it's safer.
"It made my whole experience of Take Me Out, which is a really good show, very unbearable at the time.
"I don't know why the trolls go at people, they do it to all the stars and it's a great shame really, because it's spoiling what is probably a good service.
"More action should be taken to stop these sorts of people and punish them because it can be very threatening."
Years on, and despite no longer being on Twitter, Charles is still scared.
"I still get recognised when I go out, and in the back of my mind I think, 'Are they the people that put the nasty remarks on Twitter? Are they going to hurt me?'
"I didn't get the police involved, because they're untraceable really."
Despite everything though, Charles hasn't lost any optimism on the relationship front.
"The trolls made it out that I was such a bad person, and I'm just a happy go lucky farmer lad who loves his cows and is looking for love."
Twitter told Newsbeat that they're "not commenting on this one", but pointed us to their recent blog telling us to expect "new enforcement procedures for abusive accounts".

A Ray Winstone-like voice is programmed to say "Don't even think about it" and "Put it down, put it back" as soon as the card is removed from the bag.
Rebecca Smith, Leanne Fischler and Kirsty Sneddon created the bag for a degree project.
The fourth-year students said the design was "very conceptual".
All three are in their final year at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design in Dundee.
The bag - designed to be a "unisex satchel" - has all the electronics hidden inside a false bottom.
A slot has been sewn in for a credit card which conceals an led light and a sensor which acts as a trigger to play the voice recordings.
Ms Fischler, 21, said: "As soon as you take the credit card out, it sends a signal and inside the bag we have a whole load of electronics which we coded ourselves using a platform called Arduino.
"It receives a signal when you take the credit card out and it tells the circuit board that the credit card's moved and it starts to play sequences from our recordings."
The students said at first the bag tried to deter you from spending money, saying things like "Don't you think that's a bit much?" and "Oh, not again". After a while the bag assumes you have made the purchase and starts to "publicly embarrass you".
However, if you put the credit card back right away it rewards you with a gruff: "I knew you could 'ear me".
Ms Smith, 21, told BBC Scotland they had been asked to make a project with an "element of whispering".
She said they had designed the bag as a concept, rather than hoping it would be manufactured for the mass-market.
"We're all passionate about using design to create change and starting conversations," she said.
"We want people to see it and interact with it." | Three students in Dundee have designed a handbag which berates you for spending money when you try to use your credit card. | 34902346 | [

The 32-year-old joined Sale in 2011 and became the first Moldova international to play in the Premiership.
Cobilas is out of contract in the summer and has decided to move to France's Top 14.
"Vadim's got a great opportunity at his age, so it's a no-brainer for him," said Sale boss Steve Diamond.
President Laurent Marti announced the signing of the forward on their website and he joins Ireland fly-half Ian Madigan in moving to Bordeaux for next season.
Other players who are out of contract this summer have been free to speak to other clubs from 1 January, but Diamond has confirmed he is in advanced talks with David Seymour, Will Addison and Mark Jennings over new deals.
Scrum-half Chris Cusiter is understood to be considering his future, while hooker Tommy Taylor is reportedly a target for Wasps.
"There's no decision made on Tommy at the moment, he's not made his mind up," added Diamond.
Asked about recruitment for next season, he said: "We're actively out there now.
"I'm not in too much of a rush for it as we need to continue what we're doing here and if we lose three or four then we've got to replace them." | Prop Vadim Cobilas will leave Sale Sharks at the end of the season after he agreed a three-year deal with Bordeaux-Begles. | 35301318 | [
