A rare magnitude-four earthquake hit Greenland's west coast on Sunday, producing a surge of water that swept away homes and led to reports of a number of people missing.
Joint Arctic Command, the group tasked with the search and rescue mission, has since published images of the aftermath of the disaster and told the BBC that it continues to monitor the situation, warning that further incidents could take place.
Homes were submerged and washed away after a tsunami hit the village of Nuugaatsiaq, north-western Greenland.
Rescuers used liferafts to sweep the area after four people were reported missing.
A number of injuries were also reported after 39 people were evacuated from Nuugaatsiaq.
The surge of water is believed to have swept away 11 homes in the small village.
The authorities said the tsunami was caused by a magnitude-four earthquake, which is rare for the area.
Police chief Bjørn Tegner Bay said he was unable to confirm whether there had been fatalities.
Meteorologists said it was "not normal" for such an earthquake to hit Greenland and warned of aftershocks. | Greenland profile | 40347552 | [

Defeat sees Burton slip to 21st, two points clear of the drop zone, as they lost for the third time in five games.
In a first half of few chances, Damien McCrory and Jamie Ward fired over for the hosts, while Huddersfield's Nahki Wells blazed a free-kick over.
Wells then turned match-winner, heading in Christopher Schindler's knock-back from Aaron Mooy's free-kick.
Huddersfield remain nine points adrift of current leaders Brighton, who won 3-2 at Blackburn, but the Brewers are just a place above the relegation zone as their five-match unbeaten home run in the Championship came to an end.
Ater going close before the break, Ward curled a shot over the bar in the second half.
Huddersfield forward Elias Kachunga saw his goal-bound shot cleared off the line by McCrory as the visitors looked the most likely to score.
But they had to wait until the 85th minute as Mooy's long free-kick was headed back in the box by Schindler and nodded in by Wells for his fifth goal of the season.
Burton Albion manager Nigel Clough:
"We deserved at least a point out of the game. The players were magnificent from start to finish and couldn't give any more.
"We've played well, created chances but just couldn't finish one and then they pop up in the 85th minute.
"We are unlucky not to get the result but we are not disappointed in the performance - it was excellent."
Huddersfield Town manager David Wagner:
"We can be very happy about the three points. We knew that fighting spirit and working attitude would be very important and this is what they have shown.
"The offensive performance was not our best but this was not the most important thing.
"We showed the right attitude and that is why I am very proud of them that they did the right things at the right moments."

The ex-deputy prime minister, who is campaigning for Remain, said he feared Mr Johnson's "judgement is going".
It marked a further escalation of a war of words between Tories over the EU.
Mr Johnson earlier said it was a "bit too much" for David Cameron to say so-called IS would welcome an Out vote.
And in response to Lord Heseltine's comments a spokesman for Mr Johnson said it was "the arguments that matter".
In other EU developments ahead of the 23 June referendum:
On Sunday Mr Johnson, the former London mayor, compared the EU's aims in creating a "single authority" in Europe with Napoleon's and Hitler's.
He also suggested on Tuesday that David Cameron was "colluding" with business in the run-up to the 23 June referendum after a leaked letter from the boss of outsourcing firm Serco to the prime minister raised the question of business backing for the UK's EU membership as well as the further privatisation of the prison system.
Speaking to the BBC's political editor Laura Kuenssberg, Lord Heseltine said the "strain" of the referendum campaign was "beginning to tell" on Mr Johnson and he had begun to make "preposterous obscene political remarks".
"He is behaving now irresponsibly, recklessly and I fear that his judgement is going," he said.
As Boris Johnson might say: "Cripes!" But that doesn't quite begin to cover it. This criticism will sting because even though Boris Johnson insists it is not the case, many of his Tory colleagues believe his calculation to join the Out campaign was entirely because he wants to be the next leader of his party.
For Lord Heseltine, who of course had similar ambitions but was thwarted in the end, to suggest his decision and subsequent behaviour will in fact kill his chances will really hurt.

Asked if Mr Johnson could lead the Conservative Party one day, Lord Heseltine said: "I'd be very surprised."
He added: "I think that every time he makes one of these extraordinary utterances, people in the Conservative Party will question whether he now has the judgement for that role."
Asked about the historical parallels that Mr Johnson had drawn between the EU and the Nazis, Lord Heseltine - whose challenge helped trigger Margaret Thatcher's departure from Downing Street - said his generation had lived through the war and "knew what Hitler was about".
"When he (Boris Johnson) starts invoking the memories of Hitler, that has crossed the bounds of domestic debate," he said.
"It was about the most manic nationalist aggressive destruction on a scale unprecedented in human history. It was about the persecution of the Jews. A calculated decision to persecute the Jews on a massive scale - that was what he wanted to do. He believed in it.
"The idea that a serious British politician can in any way invoke that memory, I find, frankly, I had better contain my language."
Lord Heseltine also accused Mr Johnson of making a "near-racist remark" about US President Barack Obama after he referred in a newspaper article last month to Mr Obama's "part-Kenyan" ancestry and questioned whether this had influenced his attitude to the UK.
In response, a spokesman for Mr Johnson said: "What matters here are the arguments. The British people want to hear debate - they aren't interested in personality politics or personal attacks. Let's get on and discuss the issues."
Lord Heseltine is one of the most prominent pro-European voices in the Conservative Party, having argued for the UK to ditch the pound and adopt the euro.
The Conservative peer rejected claims that both sides were equally guilty of making hyperbolic claims - such as David Cameron's recent suggestion that EU exit could threaten peace in Europe.
It was not scaremongering, he suggested, to tell people what the UK's friends and partners around the world were saying. | Lord Heseltine has said he would be "very surprised" if Boris Johnson became prime minister after his "preposterous, obscene" remarks during the European Union referendum campaign. | 36317176 | [

The reaction to Taylor's death on Thursday at the age of 72, and the affection expressed for him, was the true measure of his standing inside and outside football.
Born in Worksop in Nottinghamshire, Taylor was the son of a journalist and rose to prominence in the game as a manager after retiring as a player with Lincoln City in 1972. He became manager and coach at the club, winning the Fourth Division title with them before moving to Watford in 1977.
It was here, in tandem with his chairman Sir Elton John, that he produced arguably his finest work, taking the club from the Fourth Division to the top flight in the space of five exhilarating years.

Taylor nurtured Watford legends such as Luther Blissett and John Barnes, remarkably finishing second behind Liverpool in their first season at that elite level and reaching the FA Cup final in 1984, where they lost 2-0 to Everton.
Not so long ago he joked with me, with his usual broad smile: "You know I have never watched any of that game from that day to this - but I don't need to see it again to know that second goal from Andy Gray was a bloody foul on our goalkeeper Steve Sherwood."
Taylor's unlikely partnership with the flamboyant rock star worked against the odds, the manager's down-to-earth approach dovetailing with his chairman's lavish lifestyle. They remained friends for life, as demonstrated by Sir Elton's heartfelt tribute.
On trips abroad when he worked as a BBC Sport pundit, Taylor would gladly tell stories of that partnership, always with a laugh and underlining the genuine affection they shared.
Taylor's brilliance inevitably attracted attention from elsewhere and, perhaps feeling he had achieved all he could at Vicarage Road, he left for Aston Villa in May 1987.
Villa were in reduced circumstances having been relegated to the second flight. Taylor soon put that right by winning promotion in his first season - and, not content with that, rebuilt the club with such success and shrewd management that he took them to second place behind Liverpool in 1990.
Taylor's methods were tried and trusted and yet he often received criticism for what his detractors perceived as "long ball" football. He, with much justification, pointed out his willingness to use wingers and flair players such as Barnes and the young Mo Johnston, whom he brought to England from Partick Thistle.
England inevitably looked in Taylor's direction after Sir Bobby Robson left following the 1990 World Cup in Italy, where his side lost to West Germany on penalties in the semi-final.

This was, without doubt, the darkest and most frustrating period of Taylor's career and is one of the reasons his other work has been so criminally underrated over the years.
Taylor took over at a tough time after the loss of England mainstays such as goalkeeper Peter Shilton and past captains such as Terry Butcher and Bryan Robson. He gave players like Alan Shearer and Martin Keown their first England caps - but he drew criticism for selecting players many simply felt were not international class, such as Carlton Palmer.
England reached Euro 92 in Sweden under Taylor but produced a series of disappointing performances, going out at the group stage after losing 2-1 to Sweden in Stockholm.
Taylor courted controversy and criticism in that decisive game by substituting England captain and main marksman Gary Lineker for Arsenal striker Alan Smith with a goal still needed - it never arrived and Lineker never played for England again. The manager was vilified and lampooned as a "turnip" in the Sun newspaper.
The campaign to qualify for the World Cup in the United States in 1994 also ended in failure, and was brutally chronicled in the fly-on-the-wall documentary 'The Impossible Job', which gave an intimate insight into the pressures Taylor was under.
Those struggles were illustrated starkly in the game that effectively sealed his fate, the 2-0 loss to the Netherlands in Rotterdam.
He may have operated at the highest level but he never talked down to supporters and was always interested in how they viewed the game
The tortured Taylor is seen on the sidelines pleading with officials after Ronald Koeman somehow escaped a red card for a foul on England's David Platt, only to be reprieved and score the brilliant free-kick that sent the Dutch on the way to victory.
He resigned the following month and stayed out of the game until returning at Wolves in March 1994. During his spell in charge he took them into the second-tier play-offs in 1994-95, where they lost to Bolton Wanderers.
Taylor left in November 1995 before returning to revisit old glories. Sir Elton John was back at the helm at Watford so it was no surprise when he turned to Taylor to come back to Vicarage Road as general manager in February 1996.
It was once more the perfect fit and he was back as manager a year later, winning the third-tier title in 1998 before putting Watford in the Premier League at the end of the following season after a play-off final victory over Bolton.

Watford, despite an early win at Liverpool, were relegated and the following season Taylor decided to retire - only to change his mind and make a comeback at Villa in February 2002. He retired for a second and final time after they struggled the following season.
It was the end of one chapter and the start of another as Taylor became a respected pundit on BBC Radio 5 live, a role he performed with total assurance and perception.
Taylor was part of the radio team that covered England. It was a sign of the esteem in which he was held by fans as well as players that whenever he encountered supporters abroad, he was treated with complete respect.
There was barely a reference from England followers to any of his struggles in charge of the national team. To them, Taylor was a true gentleman, to be given his due not just for his work but for his warm personality and willingness to discuss football matters with anyone he met.
He may have operated at the highest level but he never talked down to supporters and was always interested in how they viewed the game.
As a BBC Sport colleague, Taylor was unfailingly co-operative and the consummate professional, willing to take a call at any time, even when he was meant to be spending time with his beloved wife Rita.
And as well as a fount of knowledge and a man with strong opinions, Taylor was also an endless source of entertainment and stories, just as happy to poke fun at himself as everyone else.
Graham Taylor was a top-class manager at club level and a true gentleman inside and outside of football. He will be greatly missed and perhaps now his work in management, viewed through the prism of this sad news, will finally get the credit it fully deserves. | Graham Taylor will be remembered by many for his unfulfilling spell in charge of England - but by plenty more as an outstanding club manager at Watford and Aston Villa and one of the nicest, most genuine men in the game. | 38596836 | [

As Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders clashed in their first one-on-one debate it was the senator from Vermont who started to trend worldwide.
So what are Bernie's supporters doing differently to bolster his support amongst younger voters? One place where he is a surprising hit is the dating app Tinder.
Kevin Smit from Alkmaar in the Netherlands has used Tinder to spread the Bernie gospel. "I'm not a heterosexual male and I too believe he's sexy" he joked to BBC News.
"He's a hit because there's a lot of millennials on the app and he polls amazingly with them".
Fans of Bernie's Tinder triumphs share their success on Facebook and Tumblr.
Logan Jantzi from New York told BBC News that it was Bernie's policies which lead to his Tinder appeal.
"He discusses problems that are of actual concern to young voters" he said.
"Gender inequality, low wages, high student loan debt, climate change, these are the things that 18-30 somethings are concerned with."
Nelson Evans, a Bernie Sanders supporter from California, told BBC News that the popularity of Bernie on social media was because his supporters didn't think their candidate received enough attention in traditional media.
"There's people who even pay the full Tinder membership fees in order to reach others across the country" he said.
"I think it's effective because, prior to the Iowa caucus, the media has completely shut Bernie out of the news cycle. For every 81 minutes of election coverage he'd get 10 seconds and Bernie supporters know that."
"But people who get their election news from the mainstream media, they have no idea what Bernie is all about. That's sort of what started the Tinder thing.
"It's amazing how you see people from 17-29 who have gone from never being interested in politics to being completely enveloped by it.
"This election represents more than just a candidate. It's an indication that the youth know what direction they want our country to go, and they're ready to work vigorously for it," he added.
The hashtag #demdebate has been used more than 600,000 times over the past 24 hours to discuss the debate between Clinton and Sanders:
Both candidates have their names shortened on Twitter to fit with the platform's character limit.
Hillary Clinton is commonly called '#HRC' by supporters, a term which has featured in more than 49,700 tweets over the past 24 hours while the term #Bernie far surpassed that and was used in 322,000 tweets.
On Facebook, Bernie Sanders' personal page has almost three million likes while Hillary Clinton is only able to manage 2.3 million.
But his popularity on social sites won't necessarily translate into Bernie Sanders becoming the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination.
Left-leaning young voters in the UK frequently made the Labour leader Ed Miliband the top trend on Twitter and other social sites during last year's general election, as part of the hashtag #milifandom campaign.
Unfortunately for him, his online fans did not turn into a majority in voting stations last May. | As the race to become the Democratic presidential candidate heats up in the United States, the left-leaning Bernie Sanders has become a surprising star on social media, with young voters using mobile phone apps to push others to #feelthebern. | 35504758 | [

Shipments jumped 21.8% from a year earlier, boosted by strong demand from the US and South East Asia. Most analysts had expected a 15% rise.
Exports, which are a key driver of China's growth, have been hurt recently by a slowdown in its key markets.
Analysts said the data may be skewed due to the Lunar New Year, but added that the trend was that of a recovery.
"Exports in January and February were both quite strong. This shows a recovering trend," said Sun Chi, an economist at Daiwa in Hong Kong.
However, there was a big fall in imports, which declined 15.2% from a year earlier.
Analysts said that the Lunar New Year celebrations, during which factories and businesses in China are shut for days, played a key role in that decline.
Last year, the Lunar New Year was celebrated in January, while this year it was observed in February.
This meant that factories operated for fewer days in February this year than in 2012.
"Since the factories worked for a [lower] number of days, they imported far less raw materials than they would normally have done," said Dariusz Kowalczyk, senior economist with Credit Agricole CIB in Hong Kong.
"That is why you have to combine the data for January and February to see the real picture."
Mr Kowalczyk said that the combined data for the two months indicated a jump of 5.1% in imports from a year earlier.
He added that the the jump in exports for February might also have been much stronger if the factories had worked the usual number of days. | Chinese exports rose more than expected in February, adding to optimism over a recovery in its economy. | 21710581 | [

Ricky Miller ended a run of two games without a goal with a penalty in the 26th minute, sending Liam Roberts the wrong way after his own trickery in the box drew the foul from Chester's Matthew Waters.
James Alabi was a constant threat for Chester and he showed great strength with his back to goal to spin and lash home an equaliser on the half-hour mark.
Miller then raced clear of the visitors' backline and finished his 29th goal of the season after 49 minutes, before Joe Healy completed the scoring with a superb volley from the edge of the box nine minutes later.

Vincent Barker, known as Vinnie, died in July 2012, five months after he had a routine eye test at Boots in Ipswich.
The prosecution told Ipswich Crown Court the conduct of eye specialist Honey Rose, 35, was so far below the expected standard it was "criminal".
Ms Rose denies a charge of gross negligence manslaughter.

Jonathan Rees QC said the alleged failure of Ms Rose, of Newham, east London, to detect Vinnie's swollen optic discs during the routine test, and refer him on for further investigation, was "at the heart of the prosecution case".
A build-up of fluid in his brain increased pressure in Vinnie's skull and ultimately led to his death, the court heard.
"The prosecution allege that Vinnie's death was preventable and would have been prevented had the defendant, Ms Rose, done her job properly," he told the jury.
"Given the risk of death involved, her conduct was so bad in all of the circumstances - it fell so far below the standards to be expected of a competent optometrist - that it was criminal."
The trial continues. | An eight-year-old boy, who died after fluid built up in his brain, could have been saved if an optometrist had "done her job properly", a court has heard. | 36711337 | [

The world number two is 18 years, four months and 20 days old.
The previous record was held by American Morgan Pressel, who was 18 years, 10 months and nine days old when she won the Kraft Nabisco in 2007.
Ko shot eight birdies in a final round of 63 to finish on 16 under par, with American Lexi Thompson on 10 under.
In February, aged 17, Ko became the youngest player to reach the top of the rankings and she also holds the record as the youngest winner on the LPGA Tour after her Canadian Open victory as a 15-year-old amateur in 2012.
It was Ko's last opportunity to beat the age record as she would have been too old by the next major, the ANA Inspiration, in April.
"It has been such an unbelievable experience," Ko told Sky Sports. "Now everybody won't ask me when I will win my first major because it is done.
"It is definitely one of the top rounds of my whole life."
Ko had started the day in third place, two shots behind overnight leader Lee Mi-hyang of South Korea.
Tournament organisers decide to use split tees, using the first and the 10th, due to the threat of thunderstorms on Sunday afternoon.
Lee's challenge faded and she finished tied for fourth place, nine shots behind Ko, after carding a three over par 74.
England's Charley Hull was six over for the day and finished tied for 38th place, while Republic of Ireland amateur Leona Maguire was tied for 34th. | New Zealand's Lydia Ko has become the youngest winner of a major with a six-stroke victory at the Evian Championship in France on Sunday. | 34239452 | [

Mike Hearn, a Zurich-based developer and long-time proponent of Bitcoin, surprised many this weekend when he published a blog calling Bitcoin a "failed" project.
Mr Hearn, who had until recently been working on new software for the currency, says he has now sold all of his own bitcoins and will no longer take part in the crypto-currency's development.
So, is Bitcoin doomed?
Bitcoin is a crypto-currency - a system of digitally created and traded tokens to which value is assigned.
Computers have to solve cryptographic problems in order to add blocks to the blockchain - a ledger that records every transaction that has ever occurred with Bitcoin.
In return, those computers receive bitcoins in a process known as bitcoin "mining".
Users have a "bitcoin address", to which bitcoins may be sent or from which they may be used.
Addresses are stored online in wallets that function like bank accounts.
Although most people refer to Bitcoin as a currency, it is worth noting that for regulatory reasons many countries - including the United States - have decided to define it as a commodity instead.
The biggest issue most bitcoin users acknowledge is how quickly new transactions can be processed.
The size of blocks being added to the blockchain has been increasing steadily with the rise of Bitcoin.
As a result, the rate at which transactions can be processed has been slowing.
Indeed, some transactions face significant delays, hampering payments.
Some fear the network will eventually become oversaturated and cease to be usable.
Mike Hearn is a software developer who has worked on Bitcoin technologies for over five years.
In 2014, he left his job at Google to focus on Bitcoin full time.
He has worked closely with Bitcoin chief scientist Gavin Andresen on alternative software for Bitcoin called Bitcoin XT, which aims to address capacity issues facing the network.
Mr Andresen is generally thought of as next in the chain of influence over the currency's development after Bitcoin's mysterious founder, Satoshi Nakamoto.
Currently, each block can be no more than 1MB.
But in May last year, Mr Andresen said bigger ones should be adopted.
He later wrote, "It is more likely people [will] just stop using Bitcoin because transaction confirmation becomes increasingly unreliable."
The Bitcoin XT version developed by Mr Hearn, Mr Andresen and others offers to increase the block size limit to 8MB
There are alternatives, however.
Nic Cary, co-founder of Bitcoin start-up Blockchain, points to BitcoinClassic, which would increase the block size limit to 2MB.
Bitcoin's history as a "decentralised" currency has led to much hesitation over decisions that might change its fundamental nature.
Any proposal relating to Bitcoin is likely to encourage fierce debate and, in some cases, stagnation.
Some have argued vehemently against Bitcoin XT, causing a deep divide in the community. The New York Times has reported that death threats had even been made against some Bitcoin developers.
Mr Cary says the need to update the block size limit is not as urgent as some say.
"This is a matter of perspective," he told the BBC.
"The Bitcoin network has been updated safely dozens of times and will continue to be the most reliable, affordable, and efficient way to send value around the world."
However, there are some who feel that Bitcoin's potential as a currency has already been exhausted.
"I'm sure there are smart people right now working out what the next generation [of Bitcoin] should look like but I have to say I'm not convinced that money or payments is the optimum [use] of the technology," Dave Birch, a director at consultancy firm Consult Hyperion, told the BBC.
Part of the problem was the lack of consensus over what Bitcoin was and how it should be used, he added.
Bitcoin's price fell quite sharply over the weekend, following the publication of Mr Hearn's blog.
One bitcoin is now worth $380 (£265), down from about $430 on Thursday.
However, the price of Bitcoin is notoriously volatile.
It has been classed as the best performing currency in the world in 2015.
But authors of that analysis, The Money Project, also noted it was the worst performing currency the previous year.
Besides price, Bitcoin has also suffered from a litany of cases in which bitcoins have been stolen from online exchanges in which they were stored, in some cases due to negligence or poor security.
Such incidents generally result in a complete loss of funds for the victims, since it is very difficult to trace where stolen bitcoins have been transferred.
Meanwhile, the currency continues to grow - a sign of good things to come, say many.
Bitcoin remains popular.
There is still huge interest in developing both the currency and technologies based on the blockchain idea of recording data.
It seems unlikely the currency will collapse overnight.
But it certainly look as though fundamental questions over how Bitcoin works are now coming to a head.
Whether the community that uses and supports Bitcoin will be able to come to a consensus on these matters remains to be seen.
Mr Hearn has lost faith in the project, of that there is no doubt.
But many others are refusing to throw in the towel just yet.

The Labour leader told the New Statesman his party opposed government plans to lower the overall household cap, introduced in the last Parliament.
And his spokesman confirmed he was "very much in favour" of getting rid of it altogether.
The Conservatives said Labour wanted a return to "unlimited welfare handouts".
The BBC's Carole Walker said Mr Corbyn was asserting his authority on what was a "very difficult issue" for the party.
After Mr Corbyn told the TUC conference last week he wanted to "remove the whole idea of the benefit cap", Owen Smith, his shadow work and pensions secretary, said it was "very clear" Labour was only opposing plans to reduce the limit of working-age benefits to £20,000, and to £23,000 in London.
In an interview with the BBC's Newsnight, Mr Smith acknowledged the principle of a welfare cap had wide public support and it would be "foolhardy" for Labour to set themselves "unthinkingly" against public opinion.
But Mr Corbyn told the New Statesman the cap was responsible for "social cleansing" in his Islington North constituency, with people forced to leave their homes because they could not afford their rent.
"It's devastating for children, devastating for the family and very bad for the community as a whole," he added.
His spokesman said Mr Corbyn had "laid out his position" and the policy would now go through a "collective decision-making process".
Speaking on Wednesday, Mr Smith said the party leader had "clearly signalled that he wants Labour to review and refresh our thinking on social security, especially in respect of the benefit cap, and that's a challenge I know the entire party will rise to in the months ahead".
Before Mr Corbyn was elected leader, the party was split over the Welfare Reform and Work Bill, which will reduce the cap to £20,000 outside of London, and £23,000 in London.
In July, 48 Labour MPs rebelled against the decision by the then interim leader Harriet Harman to abstain and instead voted against the bill.
The Conservative Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith said "chaos and confusion" surrounded Labour's position.
"Conservatives believe that nobody should be able to claim more in welfare than the average family earns by going out to work," he said.
"By pledging to reverse this position, it's clear that today's Labour Party are simply not on the side of working people. They are still the same old welfare party - wanting to borrow more to spend more on benefits."
In his interview, Mr Corbyn also said scrapping the Trident nuclear weapons system would become Labour Party policy if its conference votes for the change next week.
Conferences votes are not technically binding on the party leadership.
But asked whether scrapping Trident would become party policy if conference votes for it, Mr Corbyn said: "Well, it would be, of course, because it would have been passed at conference." | Jeremy Corbyn has reaffirmed his desire to scrap the welfare cap after differences with his shadow cabinet, calling the policy "devastating". | 34341360 | [

The company had been chosen by KPMG as preferred bidders last month.
Ferguson, which went into administration with the loss of 70 jobs, will be renamed Ferguson Marine Engineering.
Mr McColl has promised to upgrade facilities at the Port Glasgow yard and seek work in the renewables sector.
He also hopes to grow the workforce from its pre-administration level of 77 to 120 people.
Joint administrator Blair Nimmo said: "It is extremely pleasing to secure the sale of Ferguson Shipbuilders in such a short timeframe and to buyers who can see the potential in the business and its skilled workforce.
"We would like to thank those employees, and all parties with an interest in Ferguson Shipbuilders, including various government agencies, for their patience and support during this period.
"We would also like to wish Clyde Blowers Capital every success for the future.
"As new owners they have an ambitious vision to build on its heritage and grow a successful shipbuilding and marine engineering business on the Clyde."
Mr McColl said: "We are pleased to have completed the purchase of Ferguson's and are excited by its potential to grow into a leading marine engineering business."
He added: "Work is now well underway to develop a plan to rebuild Ferguson's, and we look forward to working with the key stakeholders in that rebuilding process." | Administrators have confirmed the sale of Ferguson Shipbuilders in Inverclyde to businessman Jim McColl's firm, Clyde Blowers Capital. | 29150147 | [

Officials said the attack happened at the Europa shopping centre in the capital Minsk.
Eyewitnesses spoke of a masked man chasing terrified shoppers on Saturday evening.
Police later arrested the 18-year-old suspect. The motive for the attack was not immediately clear.
"When he took out a chainsaw, shoppers first thought it was some kind of game," police spokesman Alexander Lastovsky told Reuters.
"Then he cut one woman badly with the chainsaw and hit her with a hammer. She died. He also attacked others."
The injured woman was taken to a local hospital.
The attacker had brought the chainsaw and the axe to the shopping centre in a guitar case. | A young man has attacked people with a chainsaw and an axe at a shopping centre in Belarus, killing one woman and injuring another. | 37599109 | [

"No-one will face a cliff edge," Theresa May said at a Brussels summit.
A new "UK settled status" will grant those who have spent five years in the UK equal rights on healthcare, education, benefits and pensions.
Guaranteeing EU citizens' rights is the top priority for the EU delegation negotiating Brexit.
Before Mrs May's offer, the EU proposed that EU citizens in the UK and the estimated 1.2 million Britons living in EU countries should continue enjoying the same rights, enforceable by the European Court of Justice (ECJ).
There are two other thorny issues that have to be resolved early on - the UK's divorce bill and the Northern Ireland border.
An estimated 3.2 million EU citizens live in the UK and there is much nervousness - some even fear deportation.
Mrs May sought to reassure the UK's 27 EU partners, saying the UK "does not want anyone here to have to leave, nor does it want families to be split up".
Her Brexit statement took up little of the summit's time. There was no debate as the EU is anxious to avoid any splits emerging.
The UK election left Mrs May seriously weakened, heading a minority government, which has fuelled uncertainty about the whole Brexit process.
The UK's exit deadline is 30 March 2019. A cut-off date for obtaining "UK settled status" is yet to be announced.
EU citizens who settle in the UK before Brexit will get a grace period to reach the five-year minimum for residency - but only if they arrive before the cut-off date.
There are categories of people whose status may remain unclear, such as children, carers, students and Irish citizens. Ireland has a special relationship with the UK, including a Common Travel Area.
The UK is anxious to start negotiating a new trade deal soon, but the EU has already won the argument that its Brexit priorities must be addressed first.
As the summit got under way, European Council President Donald Tusk emphasised that the door to the UK staying in the EU was still open. Quoting John Lennon's Imagine, he said: "You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one."
Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said that as an Anglophile, "I hate Brexit from every angle."
"It is crucially important we know what Britain wants from Brexit," he warned. The Netherlands is one of the UK's closest EU allies, with a similar stance on free trade.
Mrs May has vowed to take the UK out of both the EU single market and the customs union. But there are many voices - including in her Conservative Party - pressing for a softer approach.
"I hope we'll come to some form of continued [UK] membership or relationship with the internal market," Mr Rutte said. "I absolutely believe the UK will be hit in the economy and the pound very hard."
Counter-terrorism has also been a key issue at the summit which comes in the wake of an attack in Brussels on Tuesday.
Several EU states have been attacked in recent weeks, including the UK, France and Sweden, and Mrs May said that an attack against any member state was an attack on all.
The 28 leaders agreed to put legal pressure on internet giants like Google, Twitter and Facebook to remove jihadist content faster and more proactively.
Mr Tusk said the bloc was calling on social media companies to do whatever was necessary to prevent the spread of terrorist material and was prepared to pass new legislation. "This means developing new tools to detect and remove material automatically," he said.
The EU wants the industry to help tackle the problem of attackers slipping under the radar by using apps with end-to-end encryption. | EU citizens legally resident in the UK will be entitled to the same rights as British citizens after Brexit, the UK prime minister has told EU leaders. | 40375761 | [

Police say they are investigating allegations of a secret price-fixing arrangement by companies who organise the trips for students.
Investigators have raided the homes of executives and frozen bank accounts.
At least six travel agencies are accused of violating competition rules.
They are suspected of colluding on prices before responding to an education ministry tender to take students to Holocaust memorials.
When the Israeli education ministry approached a number of different companies, it received identical quotes.
Reports say the alleged collusion was aimed at artificially inflating prices.
Drone video shows the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp
Why did ordinary people commit atrocities in the Holocaust?
The Holocaust year by year
Thousands of Israeli high school students travel to memorials at World War Two death camps every year. A trip can cost several thousand shekels per student (1,000 shekels is worth £177), according to reports in Israeli media.
The BBC's Kevin Connolly, in Jerusalem, says that for many Israeli high school students a visit to the site of the Nazi death camps in southern Poland is a rite of passage, which gives them a direct sense of connection to the Holocaust - the defining tragedy of modern Jewish history.
If the allegations are proved to be true, our correspondent adds, there will be shock in Israel that a form of tourism that is viewed with great solemnity may have been the subject of illegal business practices.
Some six million Jews were murdered by the Nazis during the Holocaust, mainly in death camps in occupied Poland. More than a million people, mostly Jews, were killed in Auschwitz alone. | Nine executives at Israeli travel agencies have been arrested on suspicion of fixing the price of high school students' trips to former Nazi death camps, including Auschwitz. | 35351022 | [

"Actually I am a tri-citizen, I've got a Hungarian passport as well. I'm pretty much the female version of Jason Bourne."
Like fictional action-hero Bourne, Johanna Konta is proving herself capable of stunts to wow an audience.
Now an Australian Open semi-finalist, this Eastbourne resident has practically doubled her career prize money in under two weeks and left Australia wondering how they let her get away.
Konta's career has taken her from Sydney to Eastbourne - via Gijon, Texas and Barcelona. Now, her own all-action production is gathering pace and even Bourne might not be able to handle her.
Konta's run makes her the first British woman to reach the last four of a Grand Slam since Jo Durie in 1983 and her formative years offered hope of a rise to stardom.
"Her parents brought her to my academy in 2005 but I said she's too good, too strong and told her where she needed to go to train next," said Justin Sherring, director of the Weybridge Tennis Academy.
Konta - 14 at the time - had just touched down in the UK after her Hungarian parents moved so father Gabor could take a job at the Marriot Hotel in London's Docklands.
Eastbourne became home - and still is - but spells in academies in Spain and the US showed Konta's will to move around in order to hone game.
"The first thing that struck me was she was really bubbly and enthusiastic," added Sherring, who eventually coached Konta for a spell in 2010. "I'm not surprised at what she has done. Top players have that something different about them. She is incredibly passionate about the sport."
Konta - now British number one - has stated she once made her elder half-sister cry during a game of Monopoly.
Behind the humility she shows during warm interviews on court sits an obsession with becoming a better player.
"The only difference between try and triumph is a little oomph" reads a quote on her Twitter account.
Form has undoubtedly picked up since her LTA funding was cut last year- perhaps showing the defiance that burns inside Konta - who said the move "jeopardised" her career.
And self analysis at the highest level of sport can unearth tough realities. In attempting to battle anxiety during matches, Konta appointed a mental coach by the name of Juan Coto, who aids her with sessions via Skype or What's App.
"You need to be humble, and to accept that a mental coach can help you," Coto told the BBC. "You also need to be courageous to try different ways of thinking and behaving."
All of these things - the right coach, the right base, the right mindset - take time to harness. At 24, Konta has years left to make them pay.
It is reported her boyfriend is hitting partner Kether Clouder, offering a friendship, support and perhaps much needed distraction from the game during long spells on Tour.
"I think the package around her has really helped her to be much more in control of what she wants to do on the court," said Fed Cup team captain Judy Murray. "You can go out and do relatively normal things and I think that helps you to stay much more emotionally stable."
Konta's Twitter account offers plenty of images of family gatherings.
Her father Gabor - who now works at Ashdown Park Hotel and Country Club, in East Grinstead - and mum Gabriella, a dentist, have refused to speak to media during the Australian Open. A clear focus on staying humble, focused and private seems to run though Team Konta.
Konta does not own a home, she says if she did she would happily remortgage it to see one of her music loves - U2.
But the lack of a mortgage does not weaken her ties with Eastbourne, where a pride in her professional exploits exists among the community in the south-coast seaside resort.
Groups of school girls attended the Devonshire Park Lawn Tennis Club to watch her quarter-final win over China's Zhang Shuai, while the local newspaper - The Eastbourne Hearald - led their website with news of her win.
And Konta still relies on a local dealership to supply her Peugeot.
If not playing, enjoying her mum's cooking in Eastbourne or being honed by coaches Esteban Carril and Jose-Manuel Garcia in Gijon, northern Spain, Konta will probably be found enjoying ice cream and listening to music.
"I play tennis during the day. Would love to go to concerts most nights. I take gelato very seriously," reads her Twitter bio.
Van Morrison's music is a particular love and in what seems anything but a standard relationship for a finely-tuned athlete, her passion for ice cream has led to some sponsorship from an Italian manufacturer.
The stunning run in Melbourne contrasts Konta's previous Grand Slam performances, where she has five first-round exits in eight attempts.
But this is no one-off display according to Sherring, who says his former pupil is "where she deserves to be".
"She looks like she believes in what she is," he added. "She just looks much more confident, winning makes you feel good."
The Sydney Morning Herald has been left asking how Konta slipped away from Australia, referencing she had spent "three years in English fog" by the time she reached 11th in the world junior rankings in 2008.
Australia would love to have her back.
"My home is Great Britain," Konta told one reporter. "It has been for a long time now, over a decade. That's where my heart is."
Hard luck, Australia. Great Britain is closing in on being home to a first female Grand Slam winner since 1977. | Australian born, proudly British, thriving down under. | 35420286 | [

Ray Dare died when his bike and a van were involved in a collision on the A41 Ashton Clinton bypass, near Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, at about 14:45 BST on Wednesday.
He had belonged to the Surrey-based Kingston Phoenix Road Club for more than 60 years.
A statement on the club's website expressed "huge sadness and shock".
It said Mr Dare had been "attempting to set a new national record for a 91-year-old".
A post on the Timetrialling Forum said: "Other riders have spoken of him riding well and steadily before.
"As yet there are no further details but police, of course, are conducting a fatal accident investigation.
"I am sure all riders will be as shocked as the officials were at this news."
Circumstances surrounding the crash are being investigated and Thames Valley Police is appealing for witnesses to come forward.
The driver of the van was uninjured. No arrests have been made. | A 91-year-old cyclist killed on a dual carriageway was doing a time trial to set a new national record for his age. | 40680451 | [

If this volume is hard to visualise, imagine the Earth's entire land surface covered in a layer some 180m deep.
The new calculation comes from a Canadian-led team and is published in the journal Nature Geoscience.
Significantly, little of this water - just 6% - is the kind of bankable resource that is most useful to people.
That small fraction is referred to as "modern" groundwater: it is extractable because it is near the surface, and can be used to supplement above-ground resources in rivers and lakes.
"It's the groundwater that is the most quickly renewed - on the scale of human lifetimes," explained study leader Tom Gleeson from the University of Victoria.
"And yet this modern groundwater is also the most sensitive to climate change and to human contamination. So, it's a vital resource that we need to manage better."
To quantify just how much water is stored in the top 2km of the Earth's surface, Dr Gleeson's team had to combine large data sets with an element of modelling.
They included information on the permeability of rocks and soil, on their porosity, and all that is known about water table gradients, which tell you about inputs from precipitation.
Key to determining the age of all this stored water is a collection of thousands of tritium measurements.
Tritium is a radioactive form of hydrogen that spiked in the atmosphere 50 years ago as a result of thermonuclear bomb tests.
It can therefore be used as a tracer for all the rain that has made its way underground ever since.
The map above shows the distribution of this modern groundwater around the globe.
Dark blue shows where it is very quickly renewed. Light blue shows the older groundwater, which is mostly stagnant and non-renewable.
"Old water is highly variable," Dr Gleeson told BBC News.
"Some places it is quite deep, in some places not. In many places, it can be poor quality.
"It can be more saline even than ocean water and it can have lots of dissolved metals and other chemicals that would need to be treated before it could be used for drinking or agriculture."
This puts further emphasis on the modern reserves and the need to manage them in a sustainable way. The study underlines just how unevenly they are spread around the globe.
The next step, Dr Gleeson said, was to try to work out just how fast some water stores were being depleted.
Also writing in Nature Geoscience, Ying Fan, from Rutgers University, US, commented that "this global view of groundwater will, hopefully, raise awareness that our youngest groundwater resources - those that are the most sensitive to anthropogenic and natural environmental changes - are finite".

After a five-year approval process, the humble Yakka Skink - a secretive lizard known to hide under rocks and inside hollow logs - and the Ornamental Snake brought to a halt a A$16bn ($12bn; £8bn) mine, rail and port project proposed for the Galilee Basin in Queensland.
The two reptiles are among Australia's most threatened species.
Because the federal environment minister failed to take into account what the mine could mean for their habitat, his earlier approval for the mine was overturned by the Federal Court of Australia.
The mine may still go ahead but the delay is the latest chapter in a long history of Australian flora and fauna causing grief to developers.
Back in 1995, one of the last known colonies of the endangered Green and Gold Bell frog delayed the construction of a multi-million dollar residential development in inner-city Sydney.
A few years later, the frogs were found frolicking in an abandoned brick pit where authorities had planned to build a tennis court for the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games.
The courts were built elsewhere while the frogs got a specially built habitat.
Now they are in the way of a key major road project in Sydney.
In the mid 2000s, a new species of flowering shrub was discovered in the Lower Hunter Valley, north of Sydney.
Named Persoonia pauciflora, botanists were excited to discover it grew nowhere else in the world.
Unfortunately, it was growing on the site of a proposed housing development. When word got around, someone ripped out 300 of the last 500 of these rare plants. The culprit was never found.
The discovery of a threatened or new species can cause havoc for developers, delaying or even putting an end to a project.
What overturned the Queensland mine's approval?
A small conservation group in Mackay, Queensland, challenged the environment minister's decision to approve the mine on a number of legal bases, including:
Approved Conservation Advices are scientific and legal documents that explain the conservation requirements of species to avoid their extinction.
It was this last point that convinced the court to overturn the minister's approval.
In the state of Victoria, the Orange-bellied Parrot was centre stage in a long-running saga about whether a wind farm could be built in South Gippsland.
The federal environment minister banned the 52-turbine project in 2006, on advice that turbine blades posed a small risk to the critically endangered bird.
The minister eventually reversed his own decision and the wind farm is going ahead.
In the case of Indian company Adani's giant coal mine in Queensland, environmentalists and scientists are worried about more than threats to reptiles.
Dredging associated with an expansion of port facilities for the mine poses a huge risk to the Great Barrier Reef; exports would further entrench the world's reliance on carbon polluting fossil fuels; and the mine could threaten artesian water.
The Department of the Environment on Wednesday said reconsideration of the project did not require revisiting the entire approval process.
New approval documentation could be ready within eight weeks.
Adani described the court decision as simply a "technical legal error". But environmentalists say protecting endangered species is vital work.
"To describe an endangered species as a technicality and groundwater as a technicality is in line with Adani's environmental record around the world, which is appalling," said Geoff Cousins, president of the Australian Conservation Foundation.
"The government should simply strike this project down." | This week a giant coal mine that could produce millions of tonnes of coal for export to India was scuttled by two Australian reptiles. | 33798778 | [

Stephen Doughty won the seat with 9,193 votes, a majority of 5,334 over the Conservatives. The Lib Dems were third, with Plaid Cymru fourth.
The turnout was 25.65% - down from more than 60% at the 2010 General Election.
Mr Doughty succeeds Alun Michael, who stood down after 25 years as an MP to stand in the police and crime commissioner elections.
The new MP beat seven other candidates to retain the seat for Labour.
Mr Doughty, a former head of Oxfam Cymru, said in his acceptance speech that his victory was a "condemnation" of the policies and priorities of the UK government, particularly in areas such as proposals for regional pay.
He called for stronger regulation of banks and a "greater sense of community and society", with more emphasis on fairness.
Mr Doughty also paid tribute to previous holders of the Cardiff South seat, including former Prime Minister Jim Callaghan and former Welsh First Secretary Alun Michael and promised to serve his constituents with humility.
Labour has held the seat since it was created in 1983 and the party's representation of southern Cardiff in Parliament has been unbroken since Mr Callaghan was first elected as an MP in 1945.
Cardiff South and Penarth includes inner-city neighbourhoods such as Grangetown and Butetown, the redeveloped waterfront around Cardiff Bay and the town of Penarth in the Vale of Glamorgan.
Its 78,000 voters makes it the biggest seat in Wales in terms of electors.
Parliamentary by-elections also took place in the seats of Corby and Manchester Central on Thursday.
And elections were also held for the newly-created police and crime commissioners were held for all 41 forces in England and Wales outside London. | Labour has kept hold of the Cardiff South and Penarth seat in Parliament following a by-election. | 20342214 | [

Hart, 29, is yet to make an appearance for City this season and has been told he can leave the club if he wishes.
"It is a big concern," said Allardyce, who told BBC Radio 5 live he will confirm his captain this month.
But the former Sunderland boss said Hart will be in his squad for next month's World Cup qualifier with Slovakia when it is named on Sunday.
Hart has won 63 caps for England, but had a disappointing Euro 2016, making mistakes against Wales and Iceland as the side was knocked out in the last 16.

With Hart out of favour with new City manager Pep Guardiola, Argentinian Willy Caballero has been an ever-present for the club so far this season.
Everton are keen on signing Hart, who is not attracted by the prospect of joining interested parties Sevilla and Borussia Dortmund.
Barcelona said on Saturday they had reached the "beginning of an agreement" with City over the transfer of their goalkeeper Claudio Bravo.
"We want as many players as possible in their club's first team that join up with the squad, then go on to play for England and be successful," said Allardyce.
"It doesn't happen as much now as it did 20 or 25 years ago because there are a smaller number of [English] players who play in the Premier League now."
England's opening Group F qualifier for the 2018 World Cup will take place in Trnava on 4 September and will be their first game under Allardyce, who was appointed after Roy Hodgson resigned following the defeat to Iceland.
Allardyce is still to decide whether Manchester United forward Wayne Rooney will continue as captain.
"I will reveal the captain by Wednesday at the latest because everyone is asking the question," he said.

The Public Administration Committee said it would seek written evidence and publish an interim report before the summer recess later this month.
Eurosceptic Tories fear the rules are being amended to allow the government to campaign openly to stay in the EU.
But ministers say it is needed to allow them to continue their work.
The committee, headed by Conservative MP Bernard Jenkin, said the purdah probe would form the first part of a wide-ranging inquiry into the EU Referendum Bill, the proposed law that will authorise a referendum on the UK's membership of the EU by the end of 2017.
Mr Jenkin said he and his colleagues wanted to know why the government was planning to partially "disapply" the existing rules on government announcements in the four weeks leading up to the referendum.
The inquiry will focus on the existing rules, as set out in the 2000 Political Parties and Referendum Act, the government's case for amending them, how ministers plan to go about it and the impact it will have on the impartiality of the civil service.
In a vote on the issue last month, 27 Conservative MPs rebelled against their party, urging ministers to reinstate the full purdah period although the government won the vote after Labour abstained.
The government has said the existing rules would potentially prevent ministers from attending EU meetings and making decisions with a European dimension. They have insisted they will address MPs' concerns about this and other matters - such as the funding available to different sides and the length of the campaign itself - as the bill makes its way through the Commons.
The committee will publish its report on 22 July. | Plans to relax so-called "purdah rules" on government announcements in the run-up to the EU referendum are to be the subject of a quickfire inquiry by MPs. | 33440328 | [

Isobel Parker, 23, who was known as Becky, died at a property in Booth Place, Burnham-on-Crouch, on 17 July.
Her mother described her as a "bubbly girl" and a "fantastic mother who adored spending time with her two precious children".
Matthew Smith, 23, of Wood Corner Caravan Park in Maldon, has been charged with murder.
He will next appear in court on 28 September.
A post-mortem examination found Miss Parker had been strangled with a ligature.
Her partner Shane said: "Becky was the best woman I could have ever wished to meet.
"We were so looking forward to the birth of our first child together, a little girl, who we were going to name Charmaine." | The family of a pregnant woman who was strangled to death in Essex said she was "an absolute angel". | 33623043 | [

Data shows that the total tuition fee and maintenance loan balance is up 12% on the previous year's figures.
Graduates start repaying their debt once their income reaches £21,000 but after 30 years outstanding debt is written off.
For those repaying loans in 2017 the average sum owed at the start of repayment was £19,280.
That compares with £32,220 for English students, £20,990 for Northern Irish students and £11,740 for Scottish students who do not pay fees if they study in Scotland.
The figures come from the Student Loans Company and cover 2016/17.
Welsh domiciled students have been able to claim a grant towards their tuition fees since 2012-13 - a sum of £4,954 in 2017-18.
But the grants are due to be scrapped from 2018-19 with help for maintenance costs introduced instead, under plans unveiled last year.
At the end of 2016-17 there were 304,900 borrowers of higher education student loans in Wales, with 191,100 liable for repayment.
As of the end of April 2017 there are 41,430 borrowers who had fully repaid, amounting to 16.4% of the overall total.
The data covers Welsh domiciled students studying in higher education in the UK and EU students studying in Wales. | The overall student loan debt for Welsh students has reached £3.7bn, new figures show. | 40304111 | [

David Cameron has refused to take part in the debates unless the Green Party is included.
Mr Clegg told the BBC he thought the debates would go ahead, but suggested the proposed format needed to change.
Earlier this week Mr Clegg, the deputy prime minister, said the broadcasters should grow a "backbone" and push ahead without Mr Cameron if necessary.
The plans put forward by the BBC, Sky News, ITV and Channel 4 in October would include the Conservatives, Labour, Liberal Democrats and UKIP.
One would feature a head-to-head between Mr Cameron and Labour leader Ed Miliband, another would also include Mr Clegg, and the third would feature the leaders of the Tories, Labour, Lib Dems and UKIP.
The suggested schedule is for debates on 2 April, 16 April and 30 April, ahead of the UK-wide poll on 7 May.
Mr Cameron has said all "national parties" must be represented at the live televised pre-election debates - which were first introduced for the 2010 general election.
Labour leader Ed Miliband has said it was a "pathetic excuse" to avoid the debates, but Mr Cameron said Mr Miliband was "chickening" out of debating the Greens.
On the BBC's Andrew Marr show on Sunday, Mr Clegg said Labour and the Conservatives were using the Greens as an "alibi" to block the debates.
"They want to put the genie back in the bottle. They want to run things as they've done before. I think it's too late," he said.
Mr Clegg, Mr Miliband and UKIP leader Nigel Farage have written to the prime minister saying it would be "unacceptable" for him not to appear.
In separate but identical letters sent earlier this week they urged the broadcasters to press ahead with the debate before the general election.
Mr Clegg said: "The broadcasters need to come forward with other proposals because clearly the current one - which I'm not wildly happy about because it excludes me as a leader of a governing party - so they need to come forward with a proposal.
"I'll get my soapbox out any day of the week."
Asked by Green Party in England and Wales leader Natalie Bennett - who was also on the programme - whether he would lobby for her party to be included, Mr Clegg said it was not for politicians to tell the broadcasters what to do.
Ms Bennett says the polls and public opinion support the argument for the Greens to be included. | Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg has said the broadcasters should come up with "other proposals" for the TV election debates. | 30869610 | [

Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier are charged with attempted first-degree intentional murder over the attack.
The ruling means they may face decades in jail. Their lawyers failed to get the case heard by a juvenile court.
If tried as juveniles, the pair only face a five-year term.
The victim, 12 at the time, was stabbed 19 times but survived.
She was found by a cyclist crawling from the woods where she was attacked with stab wounds to her arms, legs and torso, after the attack in May 2014.
Wisconsin Judge Michael Bohren decided the pair, now both 13, should remain in adult court after four days of hearings in May and June.
They told investigators they had stabbed their victim in "dedication" to Slender Man, a fictional horror website character.
They spoke of their desire to become the paranormal figure's "proxies" by killing to demonstrate their loyalty, police said.
Following the attack, both suspects were found walking near a local highway, and a knife was found in one of their backpacks, police said.
They said the girls planned to stab the classmate during a sleepover but instead decided to commit the crime the next morning in a nearby park.
After the murder, they reportedly intended to walk to Slender Man's mansion, which they believed was situated in Wisconsin's Nicolet National Forest.

An emotional Murray, 29, secured a thrilling 7-5 4-6 6-2 7-5 victory to make it GB's most successful day at an overseas Games with five gold medals.
The see-saw match featured 14 breaks of serve in front of a raucous crowd.
Murray's win comes five weeks after he claimed his second Wimbledon title and four years after London 2012 success.
Both men looked exhausted in the fourth set of a gruelling four-hour contest, with Murray breaking down in tears after finishing off his gritty opponent.
Find out how to get into tennis in our special guide.
The crowd on Centre Court were boisterous throughout, with plenty of Argentine support for 27-year-old Del Potro, although emotions did spill over near the climax when two fans were ejected.
Murray said the final was one of the toughest he had played in and cast doubt on the chances of winning a third gold in Tokyo in 2020.
"Four years is a long time and so many things can change," he said. "Who knows about Tokyo? At 33, I'm not sure I'll be at the same level."
Del Potro's silver medal signifies his continued return to form, with his past three seasons disrupted by a wrist injury.
"Mentally I can only imagine how frustrating that must have been to keep going through the same problem and having to try and come back," said Murray.
"He deserves a lot of credit and he should be very proud."
Del Potro beat world number one Novak Djokovic in the first round despite being stuck in a lift for 40 minutes before the match.
The 2009 US Open champion and London 2012 bronze medallist then defeated 2008 champion Rafael Nadal in an epic three-hour semi-final a day before facing Murray.
"I left the last of my toenails on the court," said Del Potro. "I was tremendously tired. It was the crowd that made me keep running."
He added: "When I look at my medal I'm so happy for that, but I've just lost a great final against Andy and I was close to the gold medal.
"He played better in the important moments and is a great champion."
In Murray, Del Potro came up against a player on a career-defining run in the final.
After inspiring Britain to a first Davis Cup win in 79 years in November, Murray was voted the BBC's Sports Personality of the Year, before reaching the Australian and French Open finals and winning Wimbledon for the second time.
He also became a father earlier this year and led GB out at the opening ceremony of Rio 2016 as his country's flag bearer.
On the court, he has lost just one of his past 30 matches, a run stretching back six months, and has been world number two since November, barring a one-week drop to third in May.
BBC tennis correspondent Russell Fuller
Murray looked all along as if he would be too good and just too strong, but he had to play a quite brilliant game to prevent the match going to a deciding set.
Some exceptional defence and some awesome returns allowed him to break back for five-all - and two games later he was a double Olympic champion.
He may look back on this achievement as the greatest of his career.
It will mean even more to him that he shared it with Max Whitlock, Justin Rose and Jason Kenny on such a special day for Team GB.
Earlier, Japan's Kei Nishikori claimed his first Olympic medal by beating Spain's 14-time Grand Slam winner Nadal for men's singles bronze.
Nadal, 30, who had already won men's doubles gold, recovered from 5-2 down in the second set to level the match, but lost 6-2 6-7 (1-7) 6-3.

In there, they can read books, watch television and play computer games. They have a kettle, a sink, a safe and most have a toilet.
The restriction of their liberty is the punishment for their crimes - not their lifestyle inside prison, according to residential officer Kerry Payne.
"Prison isn't a place for punishment anymore," she says. "It's for somebody who's done something wrong to give them that time out to change their life because they don't get that stop-gap.
"Everything just keeps going till it ends up a bigger and bigger problem."
Here, some prisoners describe their life behind bars.
James, 27, has been in and out of prison since he was 18 - he's served time in Polmont, Barlinnie and Kilmarnock, as well as Dumfries.
Outside, he is a joiner. While he is inside, he is a "hall passman" - responsible for cleaning part of the prison and for which he is paid £10 a week.
His cell is a cramped space with room for little more than a bed, a sink and a toilet. Prisoners are also provided with a safe with a lock that staff can override during inspections.
James's room is decorated with posters; he has a stereo and he pays £1 a week for a television.
"It's tiny, but it's mine," he says.
Jason is just over half way through a 13-month sentence at HMP Dumfries.
The 38-year-old has lost count of the number of times he has been locked up since he was remanded for a week when he was 14 years old.
"It's become a bit of a revolving door for me," he says.
Does prison help him?
"No, no. I think you've got to help yourself. Prison doesn't help me, no.
"I suppose over all the years, I've started to think a lot more. I'm getting older now so I'm starting to think a lot more about changing or certainly not doing the same things over and over again but that's taken a long time."
So will this be his last prison sentence? "That's my idea, yeah."
He is taking art lessons in prison - he enjoys it but he is unlikely to continue his hobby on the outside.
"There's a lot of things I need to address first," he says.
Does he enjoy being in prison? "No, definitely not." He'd rather have his freedom? "Yeah, absolutely."
Ryan, a former police officer, has 12 weeks left to serve of his sentence.
He served the first three weeks of his sentence at HMP Addiewell in West Lothian - the local prison for the 29-year-old from Lanarkshire.
"I was kept in isolation from the general population just because of the fact that everyone in the prison would have known me because I probably put a few of them in there," he says.
He was "terrified" of moving to Dumfries, away from his family, but he says staff "couldn't have been more helpful".
During his sentence he has trained as an industrial cleaner.
"I really enjoy the cleaning, to be fair. You're always kept busy, there's always something to do. And I take pride in it. I like to make sure the place is clean and it is presentable."
He added: "It's funny. I wouldn't say anyone enjoys being in here, that would be sort of masochistic. But I think having something to do, having a purpose, having something to work at does sort of make the days go quicker.
"But to the same effect, getting my visits at the weekend, it makes it a lot better." | Prisoners spend up to 15 hours a day locked in their cells at HMP Dumfries. | 35433148 | [

I'd been selected as one of 24 mid-career professionals from around the world to take up a Rotary International peace fellowship.
It involved three months studying peace and conflict at Chulalongkorn University, in Thailand.
My classmates would be peacekeepers who had seen war and conflict up close. They were professors and activists from places such as Bosnia-Herzegovina, Ireland, Zimbabwe and Nepal.
The hope was we'd graduate brimming with solutions to help a world that, let's face it, needs people minded to try to find peace where they can.
But I'd only been in Bangkok two days when I realised I had a problem.
As I looked down after seven hours of exploring the streets, I saw my feet, swollen in the heat, were bleeding - cut to pieces by my seven-year-old weathered sandals.
With temperatures set to rise, and school starting early the next morning, I had to buy new footwear.
They had to be respectable, so my trainers wouldn't cut it.
We had been warned before we came out that Thailand was still in the midst of a year-long mourning period for the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej.
My outfits, therefore, had to be suitable from head to toe, especially since I was attending the royal university.
I left my room in a rush and spotted a chap in my dorm corridor.
"Are you new? Are you a Rotary fellow too? Want to help me buy shoes?" Andrew Miles, a policeman from Melbourne, knew when he had been ambushed.
Fifteen minutes later, we found ourselves in the midst of the MBK shopping centre.
Ten minutes after that and 500 baht (£11) poorer, I had in my hand two pairs of sandals that could easily be slipped off at temples and people's homes, as the Thai culture required, and could also cope with swelling feet in Bangkok's rising heat.
Global education
Get in touch with the Global education series.
The sandals certainly got a battering.
As a vegetarian, Bangkok's street food proved a bit of challenge.
Lesson one: to find peace, learn as much of the language of the country you've moved to as quickly as you can - especially when it comes to meal time.
This will prevent "hanger" (when you get angry because you are so hungry).
Lesson two: be ready to walk, and walk and walk as you try to find somewhere that can cater for your strict dietary requirements.
Be careful of getting overexcited by meal spots, as you may end up tripping over your toes.
I can testify that falling flat on your bottom on Bangkok's incredibly busy streets is not a good look.
At first, things went well.
School was a 10-minute walk away, and guest lecturers included Buddhist monks, military generals and academics with years of experience in peace studies.
Topics included storytelling and peace and conflict analysis tools.
Friendships and bonds emerged through this unique programme.
Where else would a London journalist like me end up sharing washing powder with Natasha Dimitrovska - a feminist from Macedonia - or have daily morning coffee with Manty Hasan- a peace activist living in Aceh, Indonesia?
I was following in the footsteps of more than 400 peace fellows who had studied peace and conflict at the Thailand centre.
But those shoes were not what I thought I'd bargained for.
The rubber soles on one pair gave away in the heat and when you live a student life, you revert to cheap fixes.
One message I sent to the group's WhatsApp chat included: "I accidently superglued my sandal to the floor; anyone got any nail polish remover I could borrow?"
One day, Travis Burke, an American classmate who had worked in war zones, sewed together my other pair of broken sandals with a travel kit he had had the foresight to bring with him.
Lesson three: a needle and thread is a life-essential for any emerging cracks.
Designer Christian Louboutin has called shoes a "communication tool between people", and that leads to lesson four.
Resolving conflict is about finding things in common. Even things that might seem insignificant. Like shoes.
We were on a field trip to Sri Lanka to look at the after-effects of the civil war, which had almost destroyed the country.
As we drove down in the coach from Jaffna, in the north, to Sri Lanka's capital, Colombo, the pounding those fake leather shoes had taken meant that the buckle snapped again.
This time, the attempts by Travis and Kenyan farmer Emmanuel Karisa Baya to fix them with the adhesive tape led to something quite unexpected.
Travis started playing his ukulele, and Kemuel Laeta, a Solomon Islander with a water-bottle tambourine, and two Kenyans, Karisa and Dan Noel Odaba began a jamming session.
The combination of this motley crew who tried to fix my shoes led to not just an idea for a global business venture but an accompanying jingle - Mzungu Repair. The word 'Mzungu' means 'white person' in Swahili and the original repair shop would be founded by Travis and Karisa with franchises elsewhere.
This petri dish of voices from different cultures blended together.
The tape was a temporary fix - my shoes were a write-off.
But the song brought people from 19 different countries together, not quite in vocal harmony but, certainly, in peace.

The sofa was seen perched in the boot of the Toyota Celica on the A140 in Long Stratton, Norfolk, on Saturday by traffic officers, police said.
They found it was tied in by a loose, thin, suitcase-like strap, that was "only partially holding the sofa".
The driver was given a traffic offence report notice and may face more action.
An officer on a motorcycle saw the vehicle at about 15:10 GMT.
The Norfolk and Suffolk Roads Policing Unit tweeted about it and said it made them do a "double take".
"More suitable vehicle or straps would be a better bet," the unit added. | Police have stopped a driver after they spotted a sofa precariously hanging out of the back of a sports car travelling on a busy road. | 38122195 | [

Research on 1,500 women aged 64 to 95 found those who spent many hours sitting and exercised for less than 40 minutes a day had cells that were biologically eight years older.
As people age, their cells age, causing DNA protectors to shorten and fray.
But health and lifestyle factors may speed up the process, researchers from California said.
Even in old age, it was important to keep active and avoid sitting for more than 10 hours a day, they said.
During ageing, tiny caps on the ends of DNA strands naturally shorten.
These telomeres - which have been likened to the plastic tips of shoelaces - are there to prevent chromosomes from deteriorating.
Telomere length is one indicator of biological age, which does not always match chronological age.
Shortened telomeres have been linked with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and major cancers.
How much regular exercise people do now also appears to be a factor in their length.
To track the women's movements in the study, they wore wore an accelerometer on their right hip for seven days in a row, during the day and night.
They were also asked to complete questionnaires on their activity.
Dr Aladdin Shadyab, lead study author, from the University of California San Diego School of Medicine, said: "We found that women who sat for longer did not have shorter telomere length if they exercised for at least 30 minutes a day.
"Discussions about the benefits of exercise should start when we are young, and physical activity should continue to be part of our daily lives as we get older, even at 80 years old."
The study is published in the American Journal of Epidemiology.
NHS Choices advises older adults to break up long periods of sitting with light activity because "sedentary behaviour is now considered an independent risk factor for ill health".
It says adults aged 65 or older who are generally fit and mobile should try to do:
Older adults at risk of falls, or with poor balance, should also do exercises to improve balance and co-ordination at least twice a week. | Women who lead a sedentary lifestyle have faster-ageing cells than those who exercise every day, research suggests. | 38665668 | [

The visitors went ahead when Gary Roberts won possession and found Michael Smith to slide the ball home.
Wimbledon made a better start to the second half and Andy Barcham fired over, before dragging a shot wide.
Barry Fuller's goalline clearance stopped Kal Naismith from scoring Pompey's second.
Roberts also had chances in the second half but fired over the bar, before shooting wide when one on one with Kelle Roos.

The 'greatest female tennis player of the Open era' won her 23rd Grand Slam without dropping a set.
But when you learn she did it while in the early stages of pregnancy, the feat becomes exceptional.
So how is it possible to win a Grand Slam while pregnant?
Dr Markos Klonizakis, a senior research fellow at Sheffield Hallam University, says the triumph at that stage of pregnancy is "amazing".
"It is not easy for any woman to adapt to changes in her body, let alone while playing sport at an elite level," he said.
"Physiologically, the main challenge women face within about five weeks of pregnancy is in adapting to changes to the cardiovascular system.
"These are rapid and ensure blood and oxygen supply to the foetus.
"Many women feel they cannot breathe as easily as their heart rate increases.
"The nature of a Grand Slam tournament, where players have to recover to play consecutive matches, would have been a challenge for her, if you take into account nausea as well."
Professor Janice Rymer, of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, added: "For elite athletes, a tailored training and nutrition plan would normally be developed with a specialist team.
"High levels of exercise at around eight weeks gestation should not affect pregnancy for these athletes and those used to high levels of exercise.
"During the first few weeks of pregnancy these hormones may actually boost physical performance as a woman's natural production of steroids will increase slightly."
Williams is not the first elite athlete to compete while pregnant.
British Olympic cycling champion Laura Kenny told BBC Radio 5 live: "I was still competing when I first found out I was pregnant. I actually won the madison nationals with Elinor Barker when I was about five or six weeks pregnant, but any time after that I just feel like it is so intense that I wouldn't have been able to [compete]."
Nigerian table-tennis player Olufunke Oshonaike who appeared at her sixth Olympic Games in Rio - only the second African women to do so - carried on playing when she was seven months pregnant, despite her "big belly".

Only last week, American swimmer Dana Vollmer competed in an elite 50m freestyle race while six months pregnant.
"As hard as people think this is, the race is only 30 seconds long as opposed to the entire day I spend holding and chasing around a 35-pound two-year-old," she said.
"This will feel like a break."
After winning gold in the 100m butterfly in the 2012 London Olympics, Vollmer took time off to have her first child, son Arlen, and returned in time to qualify for Rio.
But this time around, she has made the decision to continue training. Baby number two, another boy, is due in July.

"Putting the health of the baby first doesn't just mean sitting on the couch," the 29-year-old said.
In June 2014, Alysia Montano competed in the 800m quarter-finals of the US track and field championships while eight months pregnant.
The then 28-year-old runner, who received a standing ovation after completing the race in 2 minutes 32.13 seconds, told the Daily Mail: "I've been running throughout my pregnancy and I felt really, really good during the whole process."
Her finishing time was 35 seconds slower than her personal best of 1:57.34, but she added: "I just didn't want to get lapped and be the first person to get lapped in the 800m."
Five-time Olympian and mother-of-two Jo Pavey told BBC Sport: "It is difficult for sportswomen because [Williams] might not have known she was pregnant.
"I chose not to compete when I was pregnant. I did run round a women's 10k just to keep fit, but I didn't run as far as I could.
"I chose not to push myself to the limit, just to keep fit and active."
And marathon world record holder Paula Radcliffe said in 2015: "My priorities changed the minute I knew I was pregnant, and everything I did centred around the baby.
"I lost that competitive instinct. It wasn't about running certain times in training anymore."

Williams' incredible feat led to a bout of introspection on social media, captured by BBC Sport's Sportsday Live debate under the heading:
'Serena Williams won the Australian Open when she was pregnant, but...'
Here's the best of your answers:
Danny Kibbey: So Serena won a Grand Slam at 8 weeks? Pff, my missus completed IRONMAN WALES at 12 weeks (I watched on telly).
Mike T: Serena Williams was pregnant when she won the Australian Open and I can't even be bothered to finish this senten...
Taryn Finley: Serena Williams was pregnant when she won the Australia Open in Jan, but I can't even get out of bed when I'm on my period.
Raun Anand: Serena Williams won a Grand Slam whilst pregnant and I have trouble reaching for the remote after a McSpicy.
Alison Hennessey: She won the Australian Open while eight weeks pregnant. And I complain about a dynamic yoga class..
Lisa: Serena Williams was pregnant when she won the Australian Open and I struggle to walk upstairs after a big lunch.
Aquelious: Serena Williams won the Aus Open when she was pregnant but I get tired if my FIFA17 match goes to extra time!!!
Chimp: Serena Williams won the Aus Open when she was pregnant, but I once completed a 24 hour Le Mans race on Gran Turismo. AND won.
Jablesfifa: Serena Williams won Aus Open while pregnant, but I got subbed off in the first half of a football match due to a wasp sting. | With or without the benefit of hindsight, Serena Williams' victory at the Australian Open in January was sublime. | 39653317 | [

Scott Flynn flagged down a police car and told officers "I want the jail" after stealing a bottle of juice and smashing a window.
Flynn was spotted putting two packages in his mouth at police headquarters in Dundee.
He planned on taking the drugs into Perth Prison to pay off a debt.
The 31-year-old claimed a gang said that he and family members would be "slashed" if he did not cooperate.
Depute fiscal Eilidh Robertson told Dundee Sheriff Court that the packages contained almost 40g of heroin and just over 3g of cannabis resin.
She said forensic officers had estimated the total maximum value of the heroin at £3,860.
"However, if the accused had intended to resell these drugs once remanded to prison then the value could be as much as five times that," she said.
Flynn admitted charges of theft, vandalism and being concerned in the supply of drugs on 8 November last year.
Defence solicitor George Donnelly said: "Sometimes those who are in debt are told they have to work off that debt.
"His work was to try to get these drugs in to Perth Prison.
"He was advised graphically that if he didn't he and member of his family would be slashed.
"They mentioned his sister and her baby, and his grandad who has dementia and cancer."
Sheriff Alastair Carmichael told Flynn: "You committed two offences with the intent of being arrested and taken in to the prison sector in possession of heroin.
"This is a serious matter." | A man who deliberately got arrested in an attempt to smuggle up to £20,000 worth of heroin into prison has been jailed for three years. | 38932242 | [

The Red Rose, on the brink of defeat by Surrey this week, have lost two and drawn five of their previous seven County Championship games.
Lancashire won three of their opening five Division One games this season, but last triumphed in May.
"We are looking behind us now," Giles told BBC Radio Lancashire.
"It would be nice if results went our way elsewhere around the country, but ultimately we can only do what we do and we need to play better cricket for the last three matches.
"We're getting a bit of a wake-up call here as there is a lot of cricket to be played and it is a very tight division.
"At the moment we're far from safe so we've got to play better cricket."
Lancashire sit fourth in the table after 12 County Championship matches, 17 points above second-from-bottom Hampshire in the relegation places. | Lancashire cricket director Ashley Giles is concerned their end-of-season form could see them dragged into a relegation fight. | 37192129 | [

As government colleagues speak boldly of the economic opportunities Brexit might offer and point to the better than expected economic news since the referendum, the Treasury is quietly warning there may still be pain ahead.
Eeyore to the rest of the government's Tiggers, Number 11 is hoping for the best while preparing for the worst.
Yes, the chancellor has said to colleagues, the mood has changed since the Autumn Statement.
There will certainly be some "pats on the back" when it comes to the Budget on Wednesday.
The economy is more resilient as consumers - buoyed by ultra-low interest rates, cheap borrowing and high employment - keep spending.
And among the members of the European Union there is less talk of economic "punishment" as Brexit approaches - and more of "co-operation".
I am told that one banking chief executive was even bold enough to tell the Prime Minister at a recent private meeting that in three years' time the UK's financial services sector and the economy could be in a better position than they are now.
How to follow the Budget on the BBC
Better growth also means the government's borrowing position is more positive than predicted just three months ago.
Tax receipts are higher as stronger consumer spending and higher levels of business activity feed through to the Exchequer.
The Office for Budget Responsibility - the official economic watchdog - is set to upgrade its growth forecast for 2017.
And borrowing, it is likely to say, will come in at least £10bn lower than the official target. It should be remembered, however, that that target was significantly loosened last year.
So, with a better economic outlook, will the Budget be a time for a few politically targeted giveaways?
There will be some limited action. The Treasury was certainly stung by accusations following the Autumn Statement that Philip Hammond did not mention the NHS or social care funding despite predictions of a looming crisis.
Expect more money for social care, more money for business rate relief and more money for schools.
Individual tax thresholds - the point at which people start paying tax on their income - will also be increased, getting ever closer to the target of £12,500 of tax-free income promised in the Conservatives' 2015 manifesto.
But each move will be limited.
Yes, the Treasury will have a modicum of borrowing headroom, but officials have created a long list of headwinds that could knock the economy off course.
Eeyore still wonders if an earthquake might strike.
First, the tax base is eroding as more people join the "gig" economy - the self-employed who work for companies such as Uber and Deliveroo and pay less tax. Gig employers also pay less in national insurance and pension contributions.
Mr Hammond wants a review of the tax status of the self-employed, ready for major announcements in the autumn, when the new cycle of November Budgets begins.
Treasury officials are also convinced that some of thegood news on increased tax receipts are "one-offs" - changes to self-assessment rules and corporation tax payments that will not be repeated.
Then there are the fears about the Brexit process, when officials worry that "good days and bad days" news coverage will affect economic confidence.
Inflation is also on the march, government borrowing costs on its £1.7 trillion debt load are rising and the UK's age-old productivity problem refuses to go away.
Mr Hammond and Theresa May are both fiscal conservatives - cleaving strongly to the idea that "balancing the books" between what a government receives in taxes and spends on public services is the only way to maintain economic stability and growth.
The Prime Minister apparently often interjects in policy committee meetings with the question: "Where is the money coming from?"
Given that background, better economic news and better borrowing figures are not about to lead to big Budget giveaways.
Eeyore just wouldn't countenance it. | "We haven't had an earthquake lately," was Eeyore's tart response when asked about forecasts that the weather can only improve in the Hundred Acre Wood. | 39187570 | [

Jamieson followed his first-round 67 with a 65 on Friday, while Bjork has gone 65, 67 to leave both on 10 under.
Home favourite Thomas Aiken bagged the round of the day, a nine-under-par 62 that took him to eight under overall.
Glasgow-born Jamieson, 33, said: "It was very solid again from tee to green, like Thursday."
Jamieson has spent the last two seasons battling to retain his playing privileges, finishing 106th and 107th in the Race to Dubai, but won his sole European Tour title in South Africa at the rain-shortened Nelson Mandela Championship in 2013.
"I'm delighted with that today," the Scot added after his 65 at Pretoria Country Club. "I struggled a bit last week from tee to green but it seems to have clicked this week. Hopefully I can hole a few more putts this weekend.
"The rough out there is pretty extreme but there's not a great deal of drivers (off the tee), which is probably suiting me right now because I struggled last week with my driver."
England's James Morrison is a shot off the lead on nine under thanks to a second round of 66, with Scots Marc Warren, Richie Ramsay and Duncan Stewart in a share of 18th on four under thanks to second rounds of 67, 70 and 72. Fellow Scot David Drysdale is back on two under after a second round 68. | Scotland's Scott Jamieson shares the lead with Sweden's Alexander Bjork at the halfway stage of the Tshwane Open in South Africa. | 39159691 | [

An airport spokesman said the runway had been closed for two periods on Sunday - of nine and five minutes - after the drone was sighted.
Easyjet said four of its flights were diverted, while British Airways said one aircraft was diverted to Bournemouth.
Other flights were put into holding patterns as a precaution.
Sussex Police is investigating.
The airport said: "Runway operations at Gatwick were suspended between 18:10 BST and 18:19, and again from 18:36 to 18:41, resulting in a small number of go-arounds and diverts."
12,500 ft
Highest near miss, over Heathrow in February 2016
400ft
Maximum height drones should fly
50 metres Closest drones are allowed to anyone or anything
70 Near misses involving drones in 2016, more than double the year before
Craig Jenkins, who was flying with Easyjet from Naples, Italy, said: "We were crossing over the Channel and it [the plane] started circling.
"It did four or five circles... before the captain said we were landing at Stansted.
"First, they said Gatwick was closed because of an incident. Shortly after, they said it was a drone."
Mr Jenkins, from Greenwich, south-east London, said passengers were given the choice of disembarking at Stansted or waiting an hour to fly back to Gatwick.
Niamh Slatter, from Sussex, was flying from Valencia, Spain, when her BA flight was diverted to Bournemouth.
"We were due to land 15 minutes early, but ended up circling over the south coast," she said.
"Our attempted landing at Gatwick was aborted quite late as the drone had been spotted again, so we were told that the flight was being diverted to Bournemouth."
Easyjet apologised for the inconvenience, saying the circumstances were "outside" of the firm's control.
The UK Airprox Board monitors near-miss incidents.
An Airprox is the official term for a situation where the distance between aircraft and their relative positions and speed were such that the safety of the aircraft may have been compromised.
There were 70 Airprox reports involving drones coming close to aircraft over the UK in 2016 - more than double the number for 2015.
There have been 33 incidents up to May 2017.
The Civil Aviation Authority recommends drones be flown at no higher than 400ft. However, the highest Airprox involving a drone was at 12,500ft.
Of the 142 Airprox incidents involving drones recorded since 2010, 40 of them were near to Heathrow. Six of them, up to May, had been near to Gatwick.
In November 2016, the UK's drone code was revised and updated to help pilots ensure they fly the gadgets safely.
The revised code turned the five main safety tips into a mnemonic, spelling drone, to make it easier to remember.
UK revises safe flying drone code
The British Airline Pilots' Association's flight safety specialist, Steve Landells, said the threat of drones flown near aircraft "must be addressed before we see a disaster".
"We believe a collision, particularly with a helicopter, has the potential to be catastrophic," he said.
The union has called for compulsory registration of drone users and said new technology should be considered, including a system where the drone transmits enough data for the police to track down the operator.
The Civil Aviation Authority said there were serious consequences for people who broke the rules when flying drones.
"Drone users have to understand that when taking to the skies they are potentially flying close to one of the busiest areas of airspace in the world.
"[It is] a complex system that brings together all manner of aircraft including passenger aeroplanes, military jets, helicopters, gliders and light aircraft," a spokesman said.
"It is totally unacceptable to fly drones close to airports and anyone flouting the rules can face severe penalties including imprisonment." | A drone flying close to Gatwick Airport led to the closure of the runway and forced five flights to be diverted. | 40476264 | [

The runaway critter was spotted on top of the house in Cambridgeshire.
Fenland Animal Rescue was called in, but it was "a bit of a wrestle as he was not the friendliest of raccoons", said the charity's Josh Flanagan.
"That said, I've never met one before, and we don't train in raccoon rescue techniques," he added. They are hoping to locate the animal's owner.

"Raccoons aren't native to this country, so he must have escaped from somewhere," Mr Flanagan said.
"You can imagine their surprise when the householders saw one on their roof.
"The woman thought her husband had lost the plot, but when she looked out, there it was, staring back at her through the window."
With the animal jumping from the house to a garden shed roof, it was a short game of "cat and mouse" as Mr Flanagan tried to catch him.
"At one point I was sat on the rooftop with him, and we were both eating bananas. I don't think I'll ever experience anything like that again, but it's why I do this job," he said.
Eventually the animal was brought down safely, using a control pole.
A few days after its ordeal, the racoon is settling in - but "causing havoc" - at the rescue centre's Whittlesey base.
"He's a devilish boy, a bit vicious," Mr Flanagan said. "They look all cute and adorable, but they're not."
If no one comes forward to claim him, he will be moved to a specialist rescue centre "where he can live his life in a safe and secure environment with other raccoons to call friends". | A woman thought her husband had "lost the plot" when he woke her up to tell her there was a raccoon on their roof. | 39352365 | [

The poll indicates satisfaction fell from 70% to 58% last year - the largest annual drop since it started in 1983.
The King's Fund think tank sponsored the NHS questions put to more than 1,000 people and said their answers appeared to be a comment on reforms and spending squeezes and not care quality.
The government said the survey contradicted its poll among patients.
The survey formed part of the wider British Social Attitudes Survey, which covers a whole host of policy areas.
When asked what they think of their care, most patients are grateful for their treatment and give the NHS a thumbs up.
This is illustrated by the results of the latest annual patients survey, which reveals nine in 10 would rate their care as good, very good or excellent.
Understandably, ministers have highlighted that research to suggest that all is rosy in the health service.
But that does not mean that the findings of the British Social Attitudes Survey are not important.
They are in effect an emotional stock-take of what the public thinks the present and future holds for the health service.
The NHS - like the rest of the public sector - is facing a tough challenge.
Rising demands and a squeeze on finances means the pressure is on - and this drop in satisfaction suggests the public are worried.
The 1,096 respondents to the health questions were asked "how satisfied or dissatisfied" they were with the way in which the National Health Service was run.
The King's Fund released the findings on the NHS as it has taken on responsibility for funding that element of the research after the government pulled out last year.
Prof John Appleby, chief economist at the King's Fund, said the poll was important because it had tracked satisfaction over such a long period of time.
"It is not surprising this has happened when the NHS is facing a well-publicised spending squeeze.
"Nevertheless, it is something of a shock that it has fallen so significantly.
"This will be a concern to the government given it appears to be closely linked with the debate on its NHS reforms."
The King's Fund said it had reached that conclusion because performance measures, such as waiting times and hospital infection rates, remained low.
When the figures are broken down in more detail they show similar patterns.
Satisfaction fell among supporters of all three main political parties - although unsurprisingly if dropped most among Labour voters.
The falls were similar when England was compared with Scotland and Wales combined.
While the NHS reforms apply only to England, the King's Fund suggested there could be some "leakage" into the public consciousness elsewhere.
Shadow health secretary Andy Burnham said the survey results "clearly reflect David Cameron's disastrous decision to reorganise the NHS at a time of financial distress. Patients are beginning to see the signs of a service in distress."
He said A&E waiting times over winter, reports of patients on trolleys in corridors, redundancies, and "reports of services being restricted" were "leading people to feel worried about the future of the NHS".
And Mike Farrar, chief executive of the NHS Confederation, added: "These results give us a sharp indication that the public have become worried and confused about what is going on with the NHS."
But Health Minister Simon Burns said the findings contradicted the government's own research which showed satisfaction rates remained high.
In particular, he highlighted the annual patient survey which showed that 92% of patients said their experience was good, very good or excellent.
"The British Social Attitudes Survey targets the general public rather than targeting people that have actually used the NHS, so responses are influenced by other factors.
"By its nature it is not as accurate a picture as the data from patients." | Public satisfaction with the NHS has dropped by a record amount, the British Social Attitudes Survey suggests. | 18398698 | [

Five out of six (84%) of those who voted in the ballot backed walkouts and the union said its leaders will now consider their next move.
Destinations on the line include London, Aberdeen, Inverness and Hull.
Virgin Trains responded to the result by saying it would run a full timetable during any RMT strike action.
The two sides are in dispute over staffing changes, which the company says would have no impact on safety and no compulsory job losses.
The union's general secretary Mick Cash said: "RMT will not sit back while nearly 200 members' jobs are under threat and also conditions and safety are put at risk."
David Horne, managing director for Virgin Trains on the east coast, said: "With our guarantees that there will be no compulsory redundancies, no impact on safety and a full timetable in place during any action, we urge the RMT not to call a strike which will cost its members pay for no reason, and to rejoin us around the negotiating table." | Virgin East Coast rail workers have voted to go out on strike in a dispute over job cuts, working conditions and safety, the RMT union has said. | 37023141 | [

In an interview with Fox News, he said: "There are a lot of killers. We've got a lot of killers. What do you think? Our country's so innocent?"
Mr Trump said he respected President Putin and would prefer to "get along with him".
He said he wanted help from Russia in the fight against "Islamic terrorism".
Excerpts of the interview with Bill O'Reilly, carried out at Mr Trump's Florida home, have been released ahead of the full interview being broadcast by Fox ahead of Sunday evening's Super Bowl, and on the two following nights.
Asked whether he respected Mr Putin, the US president replied: "I do respect him... well I respect a lot of people. That doesn't mean I'm going to get along with him."
He added: "I say it's better to get along with Russia than not. And if Russia helps us in the fight against Isis [so-called Islamic State], which is a major fight, and Islamic terrorism all over the world - that's a good thing. Will I get along with him? I have no idea."
The two men spoke on the phone last Saturday and have agreed to stay in "regular personal contact" but no date has been set for a meeting.
Mr Trump was also asked whether it was responsible to make claims about issues without citing facts to back them up, such as his contention that millions of people voted illegally during the US presidential election that he won - but with almost three million fewer votes than his Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton.
He replied: "Many people have come out and said I'm right, you know that.
"When you see illegals, people that are not citizens and they are on the registration rolls... you have illegals, you have dead people... it's really a bad situation." | US President Donald Trump has defended Vladimir Putin when questioned over allegations of murders carried out by the Russian state. | 38872328 | [

The Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) has also warned Devonport in Plymouth might need enhanced monitoring until 2020 unless improvements are made.
Special measures, including monthly inspections, were predicted to last two years when first imposed in 2013.
Babcock, which carries out the refitting for the Ministry of Defence, said safety was its "highest priority".
The ONR said its "enhanced regulatory attention" meant the once-a-month inspections of HMNB Devonport had "more effort and managerial attention".
Its latest annual report blames safety concerns on "ageing facilities" and "increasing demands" as well as "stretched resources" for an unscheduled refuelling of HMS Vanguard later this year.
Last December, Babcock was warned of legal action after a worker received a dose of radiation amid a series of safety breaches.
ONR - KEY REPORT POINTS ON DEVONPORT DOCKYARD
When Devonport was first placed under special measures in 2013, the ONR said the base was "expected to receive enhanced regulatory attention for around two years, as we anticipate the issues to be resolved during that time".
It added with "sustained commitment over the next three to five years", Devonport "has the potential to move to a routine attention position".
Peter Burt, of the Nuclear Information Service, said: "The nuclear safety improvements required at Devonport have not been completed within the expected two year timescale, and we will apparently have to wait for several more years before the situation improves.
"Babcock is clearly unable to deliver the improvements it is being paid to complete. It is time for the MoD to cancel the current management contract for the dockyard and bring the site under the control of a new, competent management team."

Babcock said in a statement: "The continued safety of our operations at Devonport remains the highest priority.
"We have developed a comprehensive long term safety improvement programme to address the points raised by ONR. That work is progressing to plan and has the full visibility of the regulators."
The Ministry of Defence said: "Safety at HM Naval Base Devonport, as with all Ministry of Defence sites, is of paramount importance.
"The MoD supports Babcock's commitment to address the issues raised in the report, and we continue to work together to deliver the necessary investments at Devonport, which includes a site-wide nuclear safety programme with sustained commitment over the coming years." | The UK's nuclear submarine refit base is to remain in special measures amid safety concerns. | 33482210 | [

All 57 seats were contested, of which the Tories took 43, compared to the 36 they won in 2013.
Labour gained a councillor, taking their tally to 12, while the Liberal Democrats saw their number of seats fall from six to two.
There will be no UKIP representatives on the council - all three of their seats were Tory gains.
Turnout was up on 2013, at 33.7%.
Heather Smith, Conservative leader on the council, said: "I'm very pleased. We've exceeded our number from four years ago and our target of 40 seats.
"We expected turnout to be low because of the general election.
"I can't foresee a bigger majority will make a difference [to how we govern]. We have to work within a certain budget."
In Northamptonshire, the Conservative party gained 8,832 votes in the local election - 45.54% of the vote.
It is higher than the national projected vote share for the Tories, which stands at 38%.
The Liberal Democrats suffered a major blow when their local leader, Brendan Glynane, lost his Delapre and Rushmere seat to Labour.
Asked about the increased Conservative majority, Mr Glynane said: "I think they will be emboldened by this.
"The finances are not sorted, there is nothing left in the bank and I think you will see some severe cuts."
As the declaration of results drew to a close, John McGhee announced he was to stand down as Labour group leader on the council.
Mr McGhee won his Kingswood ward, but said: "It's been extremely difficult watching the destruction of public services in Northamptonshire.
"I decided [to stand down] well before this election. I've been doing it so long. It has nothing to do with today's results." | The Conservatives have increased their control of Northamptonshire County Council. | 39821646 | [

Gregory will tee off at Augusta National for the first time on Thursday after securing his place by winning the British Amateur Championship last summer.
Before even setting foot on the famous Georgia course, the 22-year-old from Waterlooville, Hampshire had his eyes glued to hours of footage from the past four years.
"I've watched a lot of clips on YouTube," he told BBC South Today. "I've got clips of all the pins from the past four years from every day.
"I know roughly where the pins will be as they don't change them too much from year-to-year. So, I've had a good idea of what kind of approach shots I need to work on in my practice rounds."
As well as staring at a screen, Gregory has also warmed-up for his Augusta bow with some on-course preparation.
Victory in the Georgia Cup over US amateur champion Curtis Luck following a play-off justified his decision to head out to the States three weeks before the Masters to acclimatise.
Along with Gregory and Luck, the three others amateurs competing at Augusta are Americans Brad Dalke and Stewart Hagestad, and 19-year-old Toto Gana from Chile.
Gregory is hoping for better fortunes than his mixed experience over two rounds of The Open at Royal Troon last July.
Having briefly held an early lead on four under par after 11 holes, he faded to shoot a first-round 78 and then missed the cut after a 73 in the second.
"I'm fortunate enough to have got all the excitement and hype of being at a major tournament out of the way," Gregory reflected.
"It's more normal now, so you just have to make sure you turn up and play golf and the sooner you get the thought of loads more people watching you, the easier it gets."
Gregory also hopes some wise words from 2013 US Open champion Justin Rose, who also learnt his trade as an amateur in Hampshire, will give him another invaluable Augusta insight.
"I'm hoping to pick up some tips from Justin," he said. "He's been great for my development being from the same area of the country and just seeing what he's gone on to achieve.
"I'm hoping to play the Par Three tournament with him before Thursday and he's out there doing what I want to do for the rest of my career." | They say you can learn almost anything on YouTube these days and Scott Gregory is hoping the video sharing website holds the secrets to a perfect US Masters debut. | 39454884 | [

The former Montana congressman and Navy SEAL rode through downtown Washington atop a 17-year-old Irish sport horse named Tonto.
Nine US Park Police on horseback accompanied the 55-year-old to the Interior Department's headquarters a day after he was sworn in.
He was spotted wearing a black cowboy hat as he made his way through traffic.
Ex-Navy Seal Ryan Zinke picked as interior secretary
The people around Donald Trump
"Secretary Zinke was proud to accept an invitation by the US Park Police to stand shoulder to shoulder with their officers on his first day at Interior," said Interior spokeswoman Heather Swift.
Mr Zinke was greeted by hundreds of federal workers, including an Office of Indian Affairs employee from the Northern Cheyenne tribe in Montana, who played him a song on a hand drum.
The Interior Department oversees more than 20% of US federal land, including national parks such as Yellowstone and Yosemite. | New US Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke literally took the reins on his first day at work by showing up on horseback. | 39145365 | [

The English 16-time world champion beat the Belgian 4-2 at Alexandra Palace.
Taylor will meet five-time world champion Van Barneveld for the fourth time at the tournament.
Dutch top seed Michael van Gerwen beat England's Darren Webster 4-1 while Scottish third seed Peter Wright beat England's Ian White by the same score.
Taylor battled back from behind in each of the opening three sets to lead 3-0, only to see 13th seed Huybrechts narrow the gap to 3-2.
But the fourth seed survived the spirited comeback, sealing victory at the second opportunity in the sixth set to tee up the meeting with long-time rival Van Barneveld on Friday.
Taylor has won two of their three previous encounters at the event, with Van Barneveld prevailing 7-6 in an epic 2007 final.
Fellow Dutchman Van Gerwen was pushed by Webster - who was the lowest-ranked player left in the competition - in the first two sets, then took the third without dropping a leg.
Webster, 46 from Norwich, arguably raised the biggest cheer of the night when he held off the Dutchman to win the fourth set.
Both players came close to nine-dart checkouts in the fifth set, with Van Gerwen punishing his opponent's inability to complete the feat by sealing victory with his next throw.
In Thursday's afternoon session, sixth seed James Wade twice fought back from two-set deficits to beat fellow Englishman Michael Smith 4-3.
Smith raced into a 2-0 advantage and then led 3-1 before Wade clinched victory by winning seven straight legs.
England's Dave Chisnall reached the quarter-finals for the first time as he held off Dutchman Jelle Klaasen to earn a 4-2 victory.
Northern Ireland's Daryl Gurney also progressed to his maiden last-eight appearance after edging past Welshman Mark Webster in a thrilling 4-3 win.

Shillington, who made 90 appearances in the 50-over format, will continue to play Twenty20 internationals.
The 36-year-old scored 1,276 runs, including six half-centuries, in an ODI career which began in August 1997.
Ireland, already out of contention for a World Cup place, lost by 36 runs in a rain-affected contest in Colombo.
The Irish were bowled out for 166 with a ball of their 50 overs to spare, with Malahide keeper Mary Waldron top-scoring with an unbeaten 33.
Isobel Joyce (30), Cecelia Joyce (29) and Gaby Lewis (21) were unable to push on against a South Africa side who had already made sure of qualification, as Lizelle Lee, Sune Luus and Dane van Niekerk all took two wickets.
Kim Garth trapped Lee lbw early on in South Africa's reply, but Laura Wolvaardt (32 not out) and Mignon du Preez (29 not out) took them to 82-1 when rain and thunder at the Colombo Cricket Club curtailed the game with the batting side well ahead on the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern system.
Shillington, whose ODI career began as a 16-year-old, said: "It feels like it's the right time to move away from the longer format due to the increased programme and upcoming tour commitments.
"But I am excited to stay involved in the T20 format with a qualifier and World T20 coming around in 2018."
In 2013, she became the first Irish woman to score a Twenty20 hundred in a 117-run victory over Japan, hammering an unbeaten 114 from 72 balls in Dublin, although that match was not classed as a "full" T20 international as Japan do not have T20 international status.

After losing to the West Indies in their opening match, England chased 230 to beat South Africa and recovered from 57-6 to defeat Afghanistan.
"We have a point to prove after the last game," said right-hander Root.
"We've obviously not performed at our best yet which in a way is exciting because we know that's still to come."
Victory against Sri Lanka in Delhi would secure England's place in the World Twenty20 semi-finals for just the second time since its inception in 2007.
Defeat would enable either Sri Lanka or South Africa - who face each other in the group's final match on Monday - to finish second in Group 1 and join West Indies in the last four.
Root added: "It's a must-win game on Saturday. We can win a game with ball and bat but we need to put them both together consistently. Then we can go all the way in this competition."
James Vince replaced the injured Alex Hales and was the first to fall as England lost five wickets for 15 runs against Afghanistan on Wednesday, but Hales could return to play in Delhi on Saturday.
"Alex Hales is improving with his back and he's feeling more comfortable. He had a training session today (Friday) but we will have to see how he is tomorrow (Saturday) when he gets up," said Root.
Defending champions Sri Lanka have not played since Sunday when they where defeated by the West Indies, and have had one fewer match than England. In their opening game they recovered from a poor start to beat Afghanistan.
"It was a really good break. We discussed what went wrong in the two games. We need to execute our plans and the guys are looking forward to the match," said wicketkeeper Dinesh Chandimal.
"We are struggling with our batting, especially the middle order, but we are working hard in practice and looking forward to do well."
Ex-England spinner Vic Marks on Test Match Special:
"England haven't put together the perfect match yet. England did beat Sri Lanka in the last T20, the only team to do so when they won it.
"That was the match where Alex Hales smashed them for 99. England will want him to be fit to play.
"Sri Lanka are not as fearsome as they were because they have lost key players, but they still have quality spinners." | Joe Root says England are yet to play to their full potential as the side prepares for a "must-win" game against Sri Lanka at the World Twenty20. | 35899690 | [

Traditionally, bonfires are lit in many loyalist areas to mark the start of the annual commemoration of William of Orange's victory over King James II at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690.
The Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service said they had resolved 13 bonfire incidents on Tuesday night.
However, it said it was also responding to a "significant number" of other bonfire-related callouts.
The PSNI say they are investigating complaints about "distasteful" materials placed on some bonfires.
Sinn Féin National Chairperson Declan Kearney called on unionist politicians to condemn "hatemongers" who put a replica coffin bearing the image of Martin McGuinness, who died in March, on a bonfire in east Belfast.
"I am directly challenging the leaders of all unionists parties to immediately disassociate themselves and their parties from this and other examples of sectarian hate crime," he said.
Martin McGuinness' son Emmett tweeted: "I am very thankful that I was raised by parent's never to hate anyone or anything. Michelle O'Neill is right, the annual display of hate must end."
Images also emerged on social media of a bonfire in east Belfast draped with a banner carrying a racist message directed at Celtic footballer Scott Sinclair.
In a statement, the PSNI said: "Police are investigating complaints about various materials, some of which are clearly distasteful, placed on the bonfire.
"Where police are aware of a crime being committed, an investigation will follow.
"We take hate crime very seriously and actively investigate all incidents reported to us," it added.
Earlier on Tuesday, a number of homes close to a large bonfire in east Belfast were boarded up to protect the properties from heat damage when the fire is lit. | Eleventh night bonfires have been taking place across Northern Ireland. | 40577190 | [

Today, China has between 26 and 28 Hainan gibbons left, but government records that date back to the 17th Century show that gibbons were once widespread across half of the country.
The apes began to disappear from the documents about 150 years ago, corresponding with population growth.
The study is published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
Hainan gibbons are now limited to a few isolated patches of forest in the south west of China.
They live in just four social groups, one of which was only discovered a few weeks ago.
Understanding this population crash has been difficult, but the old government documents have helped to reveal when and how the numbers fell.
Dr Sam Turvey, from the Zoological Society of London, said: "China is one of the few places in the world that has a very very rich, long historical record.
"Because it has had such a complex bureaucracy for so long, there has been a lot of need for reporting - not just numbers of households for tax purposes and things like that, but also in terms of the kinds of natural resources that were available in the immediate environment."
These included records of animals, including gibbons, he said.
"We looked at the pattern of disappearance of gibbons through time and how that varied from place to place and the different environmental conditions and human pressures that were also present in these places."
The archives show that gibbons were a common sight in about 20 provinces in China well into the 17th and 18th Century.
However, Dr Turvey said it was "a stark contrast to their very imperilled position today".
"We see a really steep increase in population decline and real population collapse across China about 100-150 years ago," he added.
"And this correlates with demographic expansion in China towards the end of the Imperial era and through the 20th Century, and the massive increase in deforestation and human population growth through the time of the Chinese Republic and the establishment of the communist party."
The researchers said a better understanding of the animals' decline would help them to establish a conservation plan for the country's last few Hainan gibbons.
Dr Turvey said: "It is an incredible privilege to be able to see gibbons in China in the wild.
"The Hainan gibbon is such as rare species, but knowing that this species is still hanging on there gives you hope that conservation will be able to bring that population back from the brink."

The competition which takes place on the Clyde this weekend, between Glasgow and Edinburgh Universities, was first staged 140 years ago.
It is the third oldest race of its kind in the world, just behind Oxford-Cambridge and the Yale-Harvard Regatta in the United States.
Preparing for the race means lots of early morning training sessions.
One such dawn chorus greeted the Glasgow University rowers as they arrived for their 06:45 session on the river Clyde by Glasgow Green.
Those taking part are students from a wide variety of courses but they are linked by a passion for rowing.
The first Scottish boat race took place on the River Clyde in 1877.
Both Edinburgh and Glasgow University rowing clubs were formed 10 years earlier than that, so it is a rivalry which is more than a decade older than that of football's Old Firm of Celtic and Rangers.
In an extraordinary winning streak Glasgow won every year between 2000 and 2012 but for the past four years Edinburgh has triumphed.
Glasgow 1st VIII captain Gavin Shields says they have been working hard to regain their form.
He says: "We've had a really good few years of developing some guys coming straight from beginner level.
"It's definitely a work in progress. Edinburgh have have some really good results but it just makes us work harder to try to beat them."
Gavin is studying psychology but the person who really has to get inside the heads of the crew is the 1st VIII cox and French student Rebecca Vest.
She is the lone woman in the men's boat.
Rebecca says: "You are one of the team but you are also in charge.
"You have to make sure you have that respect which is earned throughout the year.
"Sometimes it's difficult and it might take some months before some people in your crew accept your role and trust you to do your job properly."
Glasgow's Women's 1st VIII won their race last year and the university's club captain and chemistry student Stuart Mitchell says the men are on course to win again in the future.
He says: "People who take part in the sport are incredibly passionate about it and there's a lot of self starters in the club.
"I think the club is only going to get bigger and better."
Meanwhile at Scottish Rowing's impressive facility at Strathclyde Park near Hamilton athletes from Edinburgh University arrive for their training session well aware there are quite a few rising stars among their ranks.
The standard is high, reflected in the recent selection of Maddie Arlett from the Women's 1st VIII for British Rowing's GB World Cup team.
And of course another woman - five time Olympic medal winner Katherine Grainger - began her extraordinary rowing career while at Edinburgh.
On the men's side Josh Armstrong, a first year sports management student, has a long term ambition to compete at the Tokyo Olympics in 2020.
But in the more immediate future he is aiming to extend the winning streak of Edinburgh's 1st VIII over Glasgow from four years to five.
Josh says: "This is the first time I'm going to be competing in it so I'm really looking forward to it.
"The rivalry will be massive as both universities are in a really strong place just now.
"But I think we'll be looking to get the win and would be slightly disappointed if we didn't get that."
Some rowers like Josh are part of the university's elite performance sport department but coach Colin Williamson, who heads up Performance Rowing, insists that is only part of the explanation for Edinburgh's recent success.
He says: "I don't really think there is a secret to it. We just put it down to hard work.
"The guys train very hard and they train very consistently.
"And with the good support services we have at Edinburgh, with our strength and conditioning and physio and Scottish Rowing and Sport Scotland, everything is there for the guys to reach their full potential."
Last year Glasgow's women beat Edinburgh and the crew from the east coast are determined to settle that score this time round.
Medical student Laura McDonald who coxes Edinburgh women's 1st VIII says the team is a better unit than before.
She says: "I think there is a better bond within the crew this year.
"Last year people were frustrated and there seemed to be something missing. This year everyone is in it together."
The approaches of both teams to the sport might be slightly different but they match each other in their desire to win.
When they meet on the Clyde beside the Riverside Museum on Saturday they will bring with them 300 years of history as rowing clubs, not to mention 140 years of the Scottish boat race itself which is the third oldest in the world.
That is rather a lot of water under the bridge. | It is certainly not the country's most famous sporting event but the Scottish Boat Race is one of the oldest. | 39860295 | [

Brian Krebs says the administrator of a Russian cybercrime forum hatched a plan to order heroin, arranged for it to be delivered to his home, then tipped off the police, making it look as if the call had come from a neighbour's house.
Fortunately, Mr Krebs was already monitoring the website and saw the plot being planned in real time.
He alerted the FBI and local police.
"I am little concerned", he told the BBC. "But then there are a lot of things people can do to upset you and get under your skin using a keyboard and few clicks of a mouse.
"But what's the next level?"
The person behind the attempted plot, according to Mr Krebs, set up a bitcoin wallet to accept donations of the digital currency from fellow forum members.
He raised about $200 (£131) worth of bitcoins and used it to buy 12 small bags of heroin using the Silk Road online black market.
The package duly arrived at Mr Krebs's house, and he handed it over to the police.
This is just the latest example of a sustained smear campaign against Mr Krebs orchestrated by hackers and cybercriminals disgruntled at his exposure of their antics.
In March he was visited by a heavily armed police unit tricked into responding to a 911 call that had been made to look as if it originated from his home.
Mr Krebs says he opened the front door to find a squad of policemen pointing a battery of guns at him.
After being hand-cuffed and questioned, he managed to persuade the police they had been hoaxed by hackers.
The informant had used a instant message relay service designed for hearing impaired and deaf people to pretend to be Mr Krebs reporting that Russians had broken into his home and shot his wife.
The phenomenon, known as swatting, after the special weapons and tactics (Swat) teams called out to handle hostage and other dangerous situations, had begun on the West Coast, the police told Mr Krebs, but had been working its way eastwards.
"This type of individual prank puts peoples' lives at risk, wastes huge amounts of taxpayer dollars, and draws otherwise scarce resources away from real emergencies", Mr Krebs blogged.
"What's more, there are a lot of folks who will confront armed force with armed force, all with the intention of self-defence."
Mr Krebs also says his website suffered a major distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack.
This is when a large number of hijacked computers flood another computer server with messages to render it helpless.
The site was taken offline temporarily as a result.
Mr Krebs will be giving a talk about the rise in DDoS attacks for hire at the Black Hat hackers conference in Las Vegas on 1 August. | A respected US-based internet security expert says he has foiled an attempt to frame him as a heroin dealer. | 23502300 | [

The 28-year-old centre-back spent a spell on the sidelines with a similar problem last season.
He also missed the start of the season after surgery on a back injury before returning at the end of October.
"It is not a recurrence of the injury which required surgery so that is a positive," said Stoke boss Mark Hughes.
"Unfortunately, the negative is that he has soft muscle damage and at the moment it is looking like it will probably be three to four weeks I would think."
Shawcross will now miss the second leg of the Capital One Cup semi-final at Liverpool on Tuesday. The Reds beat Stoke 1-0 in the first leg.
The Potters also face an FA Cup fourth-round tie at Crystal Palace as well as Premier League games against Manchester United, Everton and Bournemouth in the next month. | Stoke City captain Ryan Shawcross could be out for up to a month with the back injury that forced him off in Saturday's defeat at Leicester. | 35400770 | [

The 23-year-old Ivorian broke hearts across Great Britain when he snatched victory from Lutalo Muhammad in the last second of the men's -80kg taekwondo Olympic final.
It was the Ivory Coast's first Olympic gold and he has, since Rio, become a national hero.
He has been gifted a new house and a 50 million CFA franc (£65,400) cash bonus.
Not bad for an athlete who only has access to poor facilities and finds it hard to raise funds to meet his training costs.
Cisse insists, however, his celebrity status won't distract him from his taekwondo title defence in Tokyo in 2020.
"People look at me differently now, I've become a national symbol. I can't walk in the street without being recognised, I'm a star," he told AFP.
"People approach you, they congratulate you, it's nice, touching, all this gives me strength to achieve even more."
Cisse, who stunned third seed Muhammad with a four-point score right at the death to win 8-6, was honoured by Ivorian president Alassane Ouattara on his return home.
He took the opportunity to ask for an improvement in conditions and coaching for athletes.
"We were supported. The Government did what it could. But we need new laws passed so that athletes can live off their sports," pleaded Cisse.
His request was heard and Ouattara promised to examine what could be done.
"We have talented boys and girls in taekwondo. We have to help them," insisted Cisse.
"I want to tell my little brothers to believe in their dreams. I've gone from nothing to become someone, without any help." | The phrase "one man's loss is another man's gain" could not be more apt than in the case of Cheick Sallah Cisse. | 37428292 | [

On Monday the Austin resident used a golf buggy to pick some of them up.
The Sure Walk project has been set up to ensure students get back safely from campus when it is dark.
McConaughey, 47, graduated from the university in 1993. He is an avid fan of its American football team.
A photograph of him dressed in an orange shirt driving smiling and startled students home was posted by the university on social media.
Matthew McConaughey: From rom-com star to Oscar winner
"Longhorns take care of each other, and it's 'safe' to say Matthew McConaughey agrees," a post on the university's Facebook page says.
"Don't forget to use Sure Walk when travelling home late at night; you never know who might pick you up!"
Sure Walk - or Students United for Rape Elimination - provides students of the University of Texas at Austin with "volunteer companionship while walking home from campus".
It expanded its services earlier this month from 7pm to 2am every day of the week, the university's news magazine said.
It provides students with "peace-of-mind when studying late at night and ensure[s] safety for all".

Born in the small city of Uvalde, Texas, McConaughey eschewed a role in the family oil pipe business to study radio, TV and film at the University of Texas.
Although he is perhaps best known for his leading roles in rom-coms such as Failure to Launch and The Wedding Planner, he won an Oscar for Best Actor in the 2013 film Dallas Buyers Club.
In one of his latest films, The Sea of Trees, he stars as a suicidal man who travels to Japan to take his own life.
Yet McConaughey has acknowledged that it is the rom-coms that have provided him with his "bread and butter", telling the Daily Telegraph in a recent interview that has no qualms about being associated with the genre. | Oscar-winning actor Matthew McConaughey has surprised students at the University of Texas at Austin by taking part in a scheme to provide them with safe late-night lifts home. | 38156343 | [

Aged 19, Jack Evans is working in one of the country's oldest and most nostalgic industries - the steam railway.
"It's always different, the weather's always different, you're always on with different people," he said.
"I'm interested in engineering, I'm studying engineering at university at the moment and being here, it just ticks all the boxes for what I want to do later on."
He works alongside Jac Smith, who recently passed his steam engine driving test on his 21st birthday - making him one of the youngest in the job in the UK.
Although the Vale of Rheidol line no longer carries lead ore from the mines, as it did between 1902 and the 1930s, it does carry tourists from the seaside town of Aberystwyth to nearby Devil's Bridge.
Its workshop, near Aberystwyth railway station, restores locomotives for museums and railways across the UK - and has recently been commissioned to create new wheels for the town's cliff railway which takes visitors up Constitution Hill.
"These are the sort of things you can't learn in college, you have to learn on the job," Will Smith, operations and safety officer, said.
"So you'll find the railway itself is operated by quite a young staff, so it bucks the trend for the tourist railways and safeguards it for the next generation.
"It's an interesting place to work, no two days are the same. You get to meet thousands of interesting visitors and everybody's here to have a good day out."
Mr Smith said since 1902 the railway, which has always included a passenger service, had only stopped operating once - during World War Two.
"Pretty much everything in the country shut down," he said.
"As part of the war effort it stopped operation, but I'm told the day the war ended they steamed the engine up and blew the whistle all the way down the line.
"Someone said that was their first memory of the railway."
Simon Cowan, carriage and locomotive painter, is trained as a fireman and a driver.
"The main thing is to make things from scratch, to replace items which are no longer made," he said.
"So we copy them faithfully and make them all in the old fashioned way and then I pass these skills on to other people, it's a bit like a big museum.
"It's the older people, I'm one of them, who have grown up in that specialist knowledge, that area, passing those skills on - because I will get to the point where I can't do this any more.
"I show people how to paint, it's a lovely way of seeing people develop, so when I go on holiday I'm not thinking 'gosh what are they doing to my paint shop'.
"We also put them out on the trains as firemen and guards, and we teach them as much as we can.
"Carriages are painted with 24 carat gold leaf and they go 'wow that must be so expensive', well no it's so wafer thin.
"We show them how to make a tracing of a word and get the typeface correct and show them how to apply the lettering on to a piece of wood, and then we'll use this varnish and paint that on to there, and when the varnish is sticky put the gold leaf on and peel it off and 'wow, that's great'.
"Then I'll say 'give us your thumb' and put a bit of varnish on, just let that dry, and gold leaf their thumb and they think it's hilarious - but then they've learnt how to do it. It's really fun."
Mr Cowan added because the carriages dated back to the 1920s and 30s, work had been going into improving disability access - with a new platform planned.
And a great deal of work has to go into maintaining the locomotives and the 12 miles of track.
Mr Smith said: "With steam railways, the equipment we use is very bespoke.
"You can't get the parts off the shelf, so you make them yourself... it's very specialist and it's good to keep the skills in the local area.
"The last few years we've built a really renowned workshop and that allows us not only to do our own work but also take on work for other businesses, other railways."
He added: "In the far end of the workshop there's a cattle van which is coming together which was supplied new to us in the 1920s.
"There were stories of livestock going up to Devil's Bridge in wagons, so they decided to build two cattle vans but unfortunately it was a bit too late for the demand - most livestock was going by road by then.
"So they became redundant and the vehicle went to another railway and more recently it's come back to us and our job is to restore it back to how it would have been." | "When I tell people I'm a fireman, they think I put out fires and I've got to tell them I make them instead!" | 40497169 | [

The Keep Military Museum in Dorchester plans to use the money to convert a bunker into an interactive experience.
It also wants to create an online gallery of Dorset and Devon people who fought in the war, and a room for community talks and school visits.
The Keep is the only military museum for the regiments of both Dorset and Devon.
The museum, which is receiving the money from the Heritage Lottery Fund, houses thousands of original and unique exhibits, including the desk belonging to Adolf Hitler and hundreds of items from WWI.
Curator Colin Parr said they wanted to gather stories from people whose relatives had taken part in the war.
He added: "Our volunteers will create an online history gallery which will include a contributory archive for people wishing to share their history with us."
Nerys Watts, of the Heritage Lottery Fund, said: "All communities living in the UK have been affected by the First World War in some way, either by the events that took place, or by the changes it brought about.
"We are keen to support projects that, like this one, enable local people to understand more about the heritage of the First World War and how it touched and changed their community." | A Dorset museum has been given a £51,900 grant to help commemorate the outbreak of World War I. | 23416554 | [

The Argentine-born film-maker died in hospital in Sao Paulo on 13 July after a heart attack, Denise Winther of Babenco's HB Films said.
Kiss of the Spider Woman, a surreal prison drama, was also nominated for best picture at the Oscars, while William Hurt won best actor.
Babenco also directed 1987's Ironweed with Jack Nicholson and Meryl Streep.
Both Nicholson and Streep were nominated for best actor and actress Oscars in the film about an alcoholic drifter.
Babenco's most recent film was last year's My Hindu Friend, a film about a film director very close to death, starring Willem Dafoe.
Babenco leaves his wife Barbara and daughter Janka. | Hector Babenco, the Brazilian director nominated for an Oscar for 1985's Kiss of the Spider Woman, has died aged 70. | 36796624 | [

The remains of Saima Ahmed, 36, were recovered from the grounds of Gogar Mount House, on the edge of Gogarburn Golf Club.
Her family have criticised the police response after they reported Ms Ahmed missing from her home in the Wembley area of London in August 2015.
She had no known links to Edinburgh.
Ms Ahmed's family were also unaware of any friends or contacts she might have had in the area, or any plans to travel to Scotland.
Five Metropolitan Police officers are now facing a misconduct investigation over the case.
Police Scotland have said that, to date, no suspicious circumstances surrounding Saima's death have been discovered.
Det Ch Insp Martin MacLean said: "I am determined to provide Saima's family with the answers they crave and whilst, at this time, I have no evidence of any criminality, I still do not know why Saima travelled to Edinburgh, where she was intending to visit or whom she planned to meet with.
"I thank those who have helped us thus far, but I believe someone out there will have seen Saima during her time in the city or knows why she visited the capital and I would ask that person, or persons, to contact police immediately.
"In addition, anyone with any further information at all relevant to this ongoing investigation is also asked to get in touch." | Police have made a fresh appeal for information a year after a woman's body was found on the outskirts of Edinburgh. | 38584815 | [

The left-back was expected to miss Saturday's defeat by Aberdeen while he sought the advice of a specialist to help with a hip complaint.
But Clark was impressed as the former Rangers defender declared himself fit.
"He has shown the courage that he wants to play through the little injury problem he has," said Clark.
"He didn't look like he had any injury on Saturday."
Smith could not prevent Kilmarnock losing 2-1 to the side sitting second top of the table and falling five points behind Hamilton Academical in their battle to escape the play-off place.
However, Clark said of his captain: "I saw him bombing down the line in the 94th minute to try and put a cross in as we chased an equaliser.
"So I was really happy he was back in the team.
"It's no co-incidence we looked a stronger team when Stevie was back in.
"He's a good example to everyone else in the squad that, as captain, he's willing to put himself forward when not 100% fit and roll his sleeves up. That's brilliant for me."
However, Clark insisted that he would not want Smith to do anything that would cause problems with his career.
"I'm not a manager who wants to put somebody in jeopardy by making an injury worse, but it's great to see him putting his body on the line to help the club," he added.
"We are hoping to manage him through until the end of the season.
"Ultimately, it will be down to Steve whether that proves too difficult.
"Some sessions he might just work with the physio, but he's an experienced player, he's got good fitness levels and knows his body, so we're prepared to work with him to get him out on the park on a match day, because having him there will be crucial for us." | Manager Lee Clark has praised captain Stevie Smith for playing through an injury in an attempt to steer Kilmarnock clear of relegation. | 35820568 | [

A Labour government would pass a law that gives employees the right to a regular contract after 12 weeks of working regular hours, he said.
The Conservatives claim the move is a threat to jobs, although Mr Miliband insisted it would "absolutely not" be.
Lib Dems would ban exclusivity clauses which prevent people looking for additional work to boost their income.
'Not fair'
During his speech at David Brown Gears in Huddersfield, Mr Miliband said: "There is no greater symbol of an economy that doesn't work than zero-hours contracts.
"We have an epidemic of zero-hours contracts in our country - there's been a 20% increase in the last year alone - undermining hard work, undermining living standards, undermining family life. Because if you don't know from one day to the next how many hours you're going to be doing, how can you have any security for you and your family?"
"In our first year of government, Labour will pass a law that says if you're working regular hours, you'll get a regular contract... a legal right that will apply to all workers after 12 weeks," he said.
"To anyone trying to raise a family on a zero-hours contract, you shouldn't be left at the beck and call of an employer who can ask the world of you but can give you no security in return. It's not fair, it's not good for business and we'll put a stop to it."
Mr Miliband echoed David Cameron's assertion that he could not live on a zero-hours contract, adding that he followed the principle: "If it's not good enough for us, it's not good enough for you. It's not good enough for Britain."
Main pledges
Policy guide: Where the parties stand
Conservative sources said just 2% of workers were on such contracts and nearly 40% of them already worked full time.
London Mayor Boris Johnson said he would rather get people into work than leave them feeling "ill-used by society, left out, unable to express themselves with their self esteem sinking and sinking".
Lib Dem business spokesman Vince Cable said while there had been abuses of zero hours contracts his research had found they applied to only one in 50 workers - and some of those were students and retired people.
"I just don't see the Miliband proposals as being practical because we know there are large numbers of companies that don't have constant work and there are large numbers of people who prefer flexibility," he told BBC2's Daily Politics.
The idea was also criticised by employers' groups, which suggested it could result in firms having to let workers go.
"Of course action should be taken to tackle abuses, but demonising flexible contracts is playing with the jobs that many firms and many workers value and need," said CBI director-general John Cridland.
Christian May, from the Institute of Directors, said zero hours contracts had helped the economic recovery.
"I'm just very surprised that the Labour Party feels the need to go this far in curtailing what has been an undoubted tool of great success, during our economic recovery," he said.
"It's acted as an employment stabiliser and indeed there are only 700,000 people on these contracts, of whom only a third want more hours."
Meanwhile, shadow chancellor Ed Balls said he had "no intention" of lowering the point at which people pay 40p income tax.
It followed an interview with ITV West Country where he was asked if he was "leaving the door open" to changing tax thresholds.
Mr Balls replied: "What I'd like to do is find ways I could have fewer people in the 40% tax bracket.
"Of course I would. But I have to be honest with people. The deficit will be £90bn. I have to find a way to get the deficit down in a careful, staged, balanced way."
Under plans set out in the Budget, the threshold will increase to £42,385 this month, £42,700 in April 2016 and £43,300 in April 2017.
The shadow chancellor was asked about the issue again at a press conference during his campaigning visit to Scotland.
He said Labour had supported the rises in the threshold outlined in the Budget.
"David Cameron is saying he wants to go further but his commitment to go further is entirely unfunded," he added.
"I have no intention of reducing the threshold."
BBC deputy political editor James Landale said that from 2018 onwards, Mr Balls was "making it very clear he wants to keep his options open".
He added: "Once again we are back to familiar territory. How do you sort the deficit? Do you raise taxes or do you cut spending - and there is a clear choice in this election." | Labour will end the "epidemic" of zero-hours contracts that are "undermining family life", Ed Miliband has insisted. | 32147715 | [

The striker nodded home Craig Curran's cross and superb control allowed him to drill in a second.
Scott Boden's shot, touched by defender Andrew Davies, was allowed to stand despite referee Andrew Dallas whistling before the ball had gone in.
But Boyce replied with a towering header before a thumping shot from Ross Draper set up a frantic finale.
The hosts pressed for a leveller in the final 15 minutes, with Jake Mulraney and Liam Polworth going close with fierce strikes.
But County held on to pick up their first Premiership points, while Richie Foran's side are the only team yet to get off the mark after two matches.
With both teams exiting the League Cup and opening with league defeats last weekend, the game opened at a whirlwind pace.
Curran came into the County side to renew his often profitable partnership with Boyce and it paid off instantly.
An inch perfect cross found Boyce completely neglected by the home defence and the Northern Irishman took advantage with an accurate downward header from 10 yards.
Inverness were down to 10 men when the second goal arrived on 26 minutes.
Full-back Kevin McNaughton hobbled off with a knee injury and before his replacement, Lewis Horner, could get on, Boyce took Richard Foster's deep cross down with a sublime first touch before cutting past David Raven and smashing a low shot confidently into the corner.
County were well on top but the home team pulled one back in unusual circumstances shortly before half time.
Draper lofted a long ball over the top for Boden to chase and the striker squeezed a shot against the challenging Davies, with the ball spinning into the far corner.
Meanwhile, Dallas had blown his whistle and appeared to point to his assistant indicating a halt in play, only to immediately reverse that decision.
County players crowded the official, with goalkeeper Scott Fox saying he had been distracted by the whistle, although he did make a wholehearted dive.
Jim McIntyre's side put that behind them when Boyce completed his hat-trick early in the second half, rising at the back post to crash in a powerful header from a Christopher Routis free-kick.
Inverness gave themselves hope when Draper crashed a powerful low effort past Fox from the edge of the penalty area.
County then had to withstand a barrage of pressure as Erik Cikos headed off his own goal-line and Mulraney and Polworth went close.
Ross County manager Jim McIntyre: "Right from the off we were at it. Liam's second goal is fit to grace any league in the world.
"Today we put our chances away. You need to be good in both boxes to win football matches."
Goalkeeper Scott Fox: "The ball's in the box and just before Andrew Davies makes the block the whistle goes. I think he was saying it was offside. He made the wrong decision and admitted that to us which is a positive.
"I think I'm saving the shot as well I'm going a little more hard towards the ball. He's admitted he was wrong."
Inverness CT manager Ritchie Foran: "Defending. Poor defending. Switching off simple as that. We work hard on it as well. There's no excuses for it. I'll take my part of the blame they'll take their part.
"Boyce was the difference besides his goals his defending for Ross County was exceptional. He started them off, he was the difference.
"He's got hearts, desire, he's got hunger on and off the ball his work rate is immense. He bullied our boys today.
Overall we didn't deserve to win the game, we didn't even deserve to draw the game."

Grimsby striker Bogle saw his curling, left-footed free-kick tipped over the crossbar by Jamie Stephens before he opened the scoring after he burst past two defenders and had his shot deflected off Elliot Johnson and into the net.
And he doubled the lead 10 minutes before the interval when a mistake by Harry Taylor allowed Bogle to run free and beat Stephens.
The Bees got themselves back into the game in the 50th minute when Akinde burst into the box and was brought down by Josh Gowling. Akinde picked himself up to dispatch the penalty past James McKeown.
Akinde then levelled from the spot five minutes later after Danny Collins fouled Curtis Weston.
Ryan Watson then squandered two chances to win it for Barnet before the late drama.
Barnet were reduced to 10 men in the 90th minute when Ali Sesay, who had only been on the pitch for five minutes, was shown a straight red card for a challenge on Scott Vernon.
Grimsby were then given a golden chance to win it two minutes into stoppage time when Michael Nelson brought down Gowling, but Bogle sent his spot-kick over the bar.

Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer are due to join an EDL march in Woolwich, where Drummer Lee Rigby was killed.
The pair are prominent "anti-Islamisation" campaigners in the US.
Home affairs committee chairman Keith Vaz claims their presence will fuel hatred and is calling for them to be denied visas.
Mr Vaz said: "I am alarmed that the EDL is planning this type of march in Woolwich. It is clear that the location, motivation and attendees at this march will incite hatred.
"Adding incendiary speakers such as Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer just fuels the fire.
"Before we have to pay the costs for the extra policing required for this demonstration, the Home Secretary should consider using her discretion to ban these two speakers from entering the country.
"A ban should be enforced properly and physically stop people entering our borders."
The Home Office said it did not routinely comment on individual cases but the home secretary was aware of Mr Vaz's letter and would be responding in due course.
Mrs May has the power to exclude non-British citizens from the UK if she considers their presence to be "not conducive to the public good" but she must act in a "reasonable, proportionate and consistent" way.
Ms Geller, of the Atlas Shrugs blog, and Mr Spencer, of Jihad Watch, are co-founders of the American Freedom Defense Initiative, best known for a pro-Israel "Defeat Jihad" poster campaign on the New York subway.
The poster, which caused controversy in the US when it appeared last year, read: "In any war between the civilized man and the savage, support the civilized man. Support Israel. Defeat Jihad."
The pair plan to join Danish activist Anders Gravers, of Stop Islamisation of Europe, and EDL leaders Tommy Robinson and Kevin Carroll, at the event, on Armed Forces Day, Saturday, 29 June, where they will lay a wreath at a memorial to Drummer Rigby.
Anti-fascist campaign Hope Not Hate has started a petition calling on Mrs May to deny Ms Geller and Mr Spencer a visa on the grounds that "their very presence in the UK will give encouragement to racists and extremists".
A spokesman for Hope Not Hate told the BBC News website the group was also unhappy about Mr Gravers' planned presence at the EDL event, but said he could not be denied entry to the UK because he was an EU citizen.
He denied the group wanted to stifle free speech and said it would also be against "Islamist hate preachers" entering the UK, adding: "We don't need people coming to this country to cause trouble."
On Twitter, Ms Geller has reacted to the campaign by calling it an example of "fascism and hate" and "SS-like thuggery".
On her blog, she claimed "Islamic supremacists and leftist thugs are strong-arming British authorities to ban us" and vowed to resist efforts to ban her and Mr Spencer from the EDL event.
Scotland Yard said that it was aware of the march and would have an appropriate policing plan in place.
Last month, British National Party leader Nick Griffin was stopped from attending a march in Woolwich on the grounds that it would inflame community tensions.
Instead members of the right wing party marched at Westminster, sparking clashes with rival anti-fascist protesters. | Home Secretary Theresa May is considering banning two US bloggers from entering the UK to speak at an English Defence League rally. | 23004858 | [

Princess Anne spoke to well-wishers outside the church after attending the service with her father Prince Philip, brother Prince Edward and other royals.
Buckingham Palace said the Queen is "still recuperating" from a heavy cold.
Missing church was a "precautionary measure" in cold and wet weather and there was "no sense of undue concern".
Twelve days ago the palace said both the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh had heavy colds and had cancelled their plans to travel to Sandringham on 21 December.
They left for their Christmas break a day late, travelling by helicopter instead of train.
Prince Philip has since made a full recovery.
The Queen did not attend the Christmas Day service at her Norfolk estate, the first time she has missed the service in many years.
The New Year's Day service at Sandringham was led by the Bishop of Norwich.
Princess Anne's husband, Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence, who accompanied her to the service, added that the Queen was feeling "not too bad".
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were also absent from the service, after they, Prince George and Princess Charlotte spent Christmas with Kate's family at Bucklebury in Berkshire.
By Royal Correspondent Peter Hunt
For a second time, during the holiday season, senior royals have attended church.
For a second time, the Queen has been a notable absentee.
Given her deep personal faith, it's a decision the Supreme Governor of the Church of England will not have taken lightly.
But at 90 - and on the advice of her doctor - she is exercising caution as she recovers from a heavy cold which she's had for at least 12 days, and which is bound to have left her feeling pretty miserable.
Officials insist the head of state is up and about; she has not been to hospital or had tests; and she continues to deal with the documents she receives in her government red box.
As well as missing church, the under-the-weather monarch has become a voluntary prisoner inside her own Sandringham home.
She hasn't yet had an opportunity to go outside and explore her 20,000 acre private Norfolk estate.

The tournament kicks off with France playing Romania on Friday, 10 June and the final will take place at the Stade de France in Paris on 10 July. Spain are hoping to retain the title they won in 2008 and 2012.
England will be appearing at their ninth finals, while Wales and Northern Ireland have qualified for the first time.
Good question - because, for the first time, there are 24 teams competing in the finals. That is an increase from the 16 that had taken part in every edition since it was hosted in England in 1996.
With six groups of four teams, it means the top two will qualify for the last 16, plus the four best third-placed finishers. In other words, only eight teams will fail to qualify from the group stage.
One point could be enough to put your team into the last 16 - and from then the tournament goes to a knockout format.
As Greece proved by pulling off a sensational triumph at Euro 2004, trying to predict a winner is a difficult game.
World champions Germany are understandably one of the favourites, while holders Spain are also short odds with the bookmakers.
Germany finished top of their qualification group but booking their place in France was not without its hiccups - with defeats by Poland and the Republic of Ireland. They have been beaten by France and England since qualifying but remain one to watch.
Spain dominated international football between 2008 and 2012 but failed to qualify from their group at the 2014 World Cup. Could this be a last hurrah for Vicente del Bosque's ageing but brilliant side?
France won the World Cup as hosts in 1998 - can they repeat the famous success of the team led by Didier Deschamps, Zinedine Zidane and Laurent Blanc?
A run into the latter stages by Les Bleus is likely to help restore national morale in a country still recovering from last year's deadly Paris attacks.
France are the bookmakers' favourites to win the whole thing, but their form is tricky to gauge because they did not have to qualify for this tournament.
Fast on the counter and unified after years of internal division, watch out for talented midfielders Paul Pogba and Blaise Matuidi.
But they cannot call upon prolific Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema. The French Football Federation (FFF) said he would not be picked after being investigated for his part in an alleged plot to blackmail Les Bleus team-mate Mathieu Valbuena, who did not make the squad.
Well, there are three of them in France - only Scotland missed out - plus the Republic of Ireland. It is going to get crowded too, because England and Wales are both in Group B, along with Russia and debutants Slovakia.
Don't expect much work to get done when England and Wales play each other - that match in Lens will be shown live on BBC One, kick-off 14:00 BST, on Thursday, 16 June.
Roy Hodgson's England have a good young team but doubts persist about their defence. They breezed through their qualifying group with a perfect record of 10 wins, while confidence was further boosted with March's impressive win away at world champions Germany.
Wales have got Real Madrid star Gareth Bale and plenty of heart. Chris Coleman's side reached their first major tournament in 57 years after losing just once in qualification.
Northern Ireland might have numerous players from England's lower leagues but they finished top of their qualifying group, losing just one of their 10 matches.
Striker Kyle Lafferty could not get a game for club side Norwich during qualifying (he has since been loaned to Birmingham) but he scored seven crucial goals in nine games for his country.
With the 24-team format offering hope to traditionally less-successful nations, five countries have taken advantage to secure their European Championship finals debut.
Northern Ireland and Wales, of course, are two of them.
Slovakia, who have been drawn alongside England and Wales in Group B, have qualified for the first time as an independent state. A 1-0 win against Spain showed the 2010 World Cup qualifiers can mix it with Europe's elite. Beware England and Wales.
Albania have never been near a major finals, but edged out Denmark - the 1992 champions - in their qualifying group thanks to a shock win in Portugal. Oh, and because they were awarded a 3-0 win in Serbia by the Court of Arbitration for Sport after a riot.
With a population of roughly 330,000 (comparable to Coventry) and only 21,508 registered players, Iceland are unsurprisingly the smallest nation to ever qualify for the finals.
How did they do that? By beating the Netherlands - 1988 winners and three-time semi-finalists - home and away during qualifying. The Dutch, for the first time since 1984, will not be there.
Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, who was voted the world's second best player behind Argentina's Lionel Messi in the 2015 Ballon d'Or vote, heads a star-studded cast.
Ronaldo will be leading Portugal's challenge, while Wales hope his club-mate Gareth Bale - the world's most expensive player - can transform his impressive La Liga form onto the international stage.
World Cup winners Germany boast a host of stellar names who have impressed in previous tournaments, most notably Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer and forward Thomas Muller plus Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos.
France's challenge is set to be driven by energetic Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba, who is still reportedly courting the attention of several English Premier League sides.
Belgium are not short of star quality either. Premier League pair Eden Hazard and Kevin de Bruyne will spearhead their quest for a first major tournament win, but the Red Devils are without injured captain Vincent Kompany.
And Sweden superstar Zlatan Ibrahimovic, 34, will be hoping to illuminate an international tournament for what could be the final time.
The Netherlands' failure to qualify leaves Bayern Munich winger Arjen Robben watching from home, while his club-mate Franck Ribery was not named in the France squad, despite suggestions he was considering ending his international retirement.
The tournament's 51 games will be staged at 10 locations across France, including new stadiums in Bordeaux, Lille, Lyon and Nice.
The opening match - between France and Romania on 10 June - and the 10 July final will be played at the Stade de France in Paris.
Building the new venues and renovating historic grounds such as Marseille's Stade Velodrome has cost 1.6bn euros (£1.2bn) - modernisation which was necessary, organisers say, because France did not fully capitalise on hosting the 1998 World Cup.

In March this year, the International Football Association Board (IFAB) ratified a host of revisions to the laws of the game in an attempt to remove inconsistencies and meet the needs of the modern game. The changes came into effect on 1 June, so will apply for Euro 2016.
More than 90 revisions were made, but these are some of the key changes:
Kick-off: Previously, the ball had to go forward from kick-off but the rule has been changed to allow it to go in any direction.
Pre-match red cards: Players can now be sent off before a match gets under way, although they can be replaced by another player in the match-day squad.
Leaving the pitch after treatment: If a player is injured in a challenge resulting in a yellow or red card, they no longer have to leave the field and can have a quick assessment or medical treatment. This change is designed to prevent situations where a team would be temporarily down to 10 players.
The end of 'triple punishment': A professional foul inside the area will now normally result in a yellow card for the offender, and not a red. This is to end the so-called triple punishment of penalty, dismissal and suspension, which was seen by some as excessive. There are exceptions for when the offender will receive a red which include holding, pushing or pulling and violent conduct.
Goalline technology, already established in the Premier League and elsewhere, will be used at Euro 2016.
Yes. But you had better be quick. Most of the group games - including all of England's matches - are sold out.
However, as of 9 June there are tickets available to watch Wales and Northern Ireland, plus other games involving some of the smaller nations. There are also tickets available for the opening game between France and Romania - at 395 euros each.
Find the latest ticket details on Uefa's official Euro 2016 website
Each of the 10 host cities will have official Uefa fan zones. The fan zones will have a giant screen for showing all of the matches throughout the tournament.
The biggest will be in Paris, where up to 90,000 supporters can gather on the Champ de Mars - in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower.
You won't miss a kick.
The BBC and ITV will bring audiences closer to the heart of the action than ever before with extensive coverage of Euro 2016.
The BBC will showcase 26 live matches on TV and streamed online within its 140 hours of programming, including highlights on BBC One, BBC Two and the Red Button plus 24 days of coverage on Radio 5 live.
The BBC's Euro 2016 digital service will feature live broadcasts of all BBC games, commentary and live text coverage of every game featuring in-game highlight clips, on-demand highlights of every goal, breaking news, exclusive features and expert analysis.
ITV will be home to 26 live games across ITV1 and ITV4, which will be simulcast live on the ITV Hub.

The French government has extended a state of emergency imposed after the Paris attacks in November to cover Euro 2016.
The coordinated gun and bomb attacks in Paris on 13 November killed 130 people and were claimed by so-called Islamic State.
The Stade de France, which was targeted by suicide bombers, will host the opening match of Euro 2016 and the final.
The current state of emergency gives police extra powers to conduct searches and put people under house arrest.
More than 90,000 police, soldiers and private security agents are being deployed as well.

Cook batted for 836 minutes in Abu Dhabi for his 263 - the third-longest innings by time in Test history, and the longest ever by an Englishman.
Joe Root made 85 and Ben Stokes hit 57 as Pakistan's bowlers toiled.
With two wickets remaining and England's first-innings lead slim, a draw remains the most likely result.
Cook eventually fell to off-spinner Shoaib Malik - himself a double centurion in the match - when he was caught at short fine leg sweeping.
Media playback is not supported on this device
The 30-year-old began the day on 168 and might have been dismissed only five runs later, when he inside-edged a delivery from Imran Khan and wicketkeeper Sarfraz Ahmed dropped a difficult chance.
But thereafter the England skipper combined superbly with Root in a morning of trouble-free accumulation.
He moved to his double hundred - the third of his Test career, drawing him level with Kevin Pietersen - with a clip behind square off Wahab Riaz.
Root was eventually dismissed after lunch when he chased a wide delivery from Rahat Ali, but Cook's formidable powers of concentration proved greater.
Playing with immense discipline - he hit only three boundaries all day - the captain amassed the highest score by an English batsman overseas since Wally Hammond hit 336 against New Zealand in 1933.
He survived a fiery spell of reverse-swing bowling from Wahab Riaz - which accounted for Jonny Bairstow, trapped LBW for 8.
And he might even have been able to overtake his own career best of 294 - set against India at Edgbaston in 2010 - if the umpire had spotted that Malik appeared to overstep in delivering the wicket-taking ball.
Root said Cook was "knackered" after his mammoth innings.
"He's played out his skin," he added. "It takes concentration and skill to bat for that long.
"We're thrilled for him and it's given us a chance of a result."
Former England batsman Geoffrey Boycott said Cook's innings displayed "patience and determination".
"He just went along serenely," he said. "It was a splendid innings of everything that's needed to bat."
Ex-England captain Michael Vaughan praised Cook's "art and talent of concentration".
He said: "Ball by ball, over by over. He keeps it very simple. It was low-risk cricket in a routine that he has honed over many years of playing, delivered in that kind of heat and pressure.
"I'd put him with Geoffrey Boycott in terms of concentration, which is the biggest strength an opening batsman needs."
It was another tough day for the bowlers on a pitch that has offered precious little assistance.
And just as in England's innings, it was the spinners who bore the brunt of the batting-friendly conditions.
After England's Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid went for 0-121 and 0-163 respectively in the first innings of the match, Pakistan's Zulfiqar Babar became the third bowler of the match to concede a century of runs without taking a wicket.
It was part-timer Malik who made the first breakthrough for spin in the match when he bowled Stokes - with spinners having bowled 170.1 wicketless overs for 565 runs prior to that point.
Zulfiqar was into his 69th over - within sight of the world record for wicketless overs in an innings, which stands at 72 - when he induced Jos Buttler to loft a drive into the hands of Asad Shafiq at deep cover. | A superb double century from captain Alastair Cook saw England to 569-8, a lead of 46 runs, at the end of day four of the first Test against Pakistan. | 34552854 | [

If the 70th UN General Assembly had a face, it would not only be showing its age, but it would be covered in the cuts and bruises from unending wars, new coups and the perennial problems of poverty, hunger and the new open, weeping sores that are the movements of the desperate and despairing across oceans and borders.
For African leaders, the UN in New York is the place to be seen and heard every September.
They are there under the magical veil of diplomatic immunity, not only because their leadership is recognised but also because it allows those who are older than the General Assembly to attend, as well as those who have been ostracised by international opinion, those who have been targeted by the International Criminal Court, and those who wish to plead for special attention or show that they are tackling corruption.
Small budgets are prepared from the national coffers for the delegates accompanying the heads of state and first ladies fond of shopping, who mark the General Assembly dates in their diaries long in advance.
This year's gathering has even featured a rock star Pope, and the Catholics among Africa's leadership may have wanted to touch that holy hand, though they may not have been so keen on confession.
Still, it does not help to be too cynical, for Africa needs the UN more than any other continent.
A brief scan of the UN's history will show us that while its predecessor, the League of Nations, threw South West Africa - present-day Namibia - from the frying pan of German occupation into the fire of apartheid jurisdiction, the UN has been largely present in tumultuous events in Africa these past 70 years.
A UN Secretary General - Swedish statesman Dag Hammarskjold - lost his life in a plane crash in the Zambian town of Ndola in 1961 on his way to peace talks in the Congolese breakaway province of Katanga.
Since then UN peacekeeping forces in Africa have been a regular and needed part of the continent's story: 19,000 troops are currently serving in the Democratic Republic of Congo; 12,000 are trying to restore order to the Central African Republic, another 10,000 are deployed in Mali and the UN mission in Liberia is due to end in June 2016 - having been there since 2003.

The relationship between peacekeepers and Africa has been fraught with accusations of mineral theft and more seriously the sexual abuse of women and children by the international UN forces, but the security situation without them does not bear contemplation.
In 2015 a look at the headlines shows us that from Libya downwards, violence prevails.
It reveals that the fight for self-determination in South Sudan has resulted in increasing deaths after independence; Burkina Faso's presidential guard has become addicted to power and that economies wrecked by Ebola cannot do without international assistance.
World leaders have now agreed on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which replace the Millennium Goals, and feature many of the issues that the 20th Century grappled with.
Farai Sevenzo:
"From rising prices, to lack of pasture for cattle to drought and floods - food and hunger remain the continent's major worry"
But paramount amongst the 17 SDGs is the struggle to end hunger.
"While the number of people suffering from hunger in developing regions has fallen by half since 1990, there are still close to 800 million people undernourished worldwide, a majority children and youth," said Mogens Lykketoft, president of the 70th session of the UN General Assembly.
Of course hunger has not arrived unannounced, the state of the planet and the effects of global warming have been playing havoc with people's crops all over southern Africa.
Malawi, the UN World Food Programme (WFP) has warned, faces its worst food crisis in 10 years.
The WFP says 2.8 million people are at risk and that an astonishing four out of every 10 Malawian children are suffering from stunted growth.
Poor rainfall affected the crops in 2013/2014 and then floods compounded the problem in early 2015 by destroying homes and wiping out food supplies.
USAid's Famine Early Warning System has also listed food shortages in Ethiopia and Somalia, as well as in Sierra Leone and Liberia following the outbreak of Ebola.
From rising prices, to lack of pasture for cattle to drought and floods - food and hunger remain the continent's major worry.
Those attending the Sustainable Goals event spoke of its wide scope; UN chief Ban Ki-Moon said the new development blueprint was designed to "resonate with people across the world", while UN Development Programme head Helen Clark said the goals called "for a paradigm shift in how the international society understands development".
Development, if truth be told, has sometimes been hampered by some of the very people who gather every September in the autumn sunshine.
But it is their solemn duty - and ours - to try and develop ourselves.
At its worst, the UN is a grey monolithic beast that is overstaffed with career diplomats and "angels of mercy" who run around African cities in their 4x4s on behalf of Western charities and their own ambitious career paths.
But at its best, the UN is the last refuge for the powerless, the hungry and the needy.
And Africa has far too many people in all three categories to do without it. | In our series of letters from African journalists, film-maker and columnist Farai Sevenzo considers why the UN matters to Africa. | 34402415 | [

Fast forward about 20 years, and it's fair to say he has done just that.
The business he runs, Frasers Hospitality, is one of the world's biggest providers of high-end serviced apartments. Its 148 properties span about 80 capital cities, as well as financial hubs across Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Africa.
But it almost didn't get off the ground.
When Mr Choe was appointed to launch and lead the company, Asia was booming; the tiger economies of Hong Kong, South Korea, Taiwan and Singapore were expanding rapidly.
But as Frasers prepared to open its first two properties in Singapore, the Asian financial crisis hit.
It was 1997. Currencies went into freefall. Suddenly, people were losing their jobs and stopped travelling.
Mr Choe recalls asking staff if they really wanted to continue working with the firm, because when the properties opened they might not get paid.
"It was really that serious," he says. "I remember tearing up because they said 'let's open it, let's open it whether you can pay us or not'."
Survival, Mr Choe admits, came through a bit of luck, and the misfortune of others.
He had convinced the board at parent firm, property group Frasers Centrepoint, to open serviced apartments rather than hotels - partly because getting planning permission in Singapore was easier.
But he also sensed it was a big, untapped market. And at the time of the crisis, it proved to be exactly what customers wanted.
"As we were going through this difficult patch, there were protests and riots in Jakarta," he says. "A lot of companies like Microsoft called up looking for rooms for their staff because they were moving out of Jakarta."
Frasers' 412 apartments were quickly in demand. Occupancy soon hit 70%, and then 90%.
Explaining the popularity of serviced apartments, Mr Choe says that if people are staying somewhere for just a few days, they happily stay in hotels, but if they are going to be somewhere for one month to eight months, the walls of hotel rooms "close in on you".
But now, Mr Choe, 57, faces new challenges - the travel tastes of millennials and the disruptive nature of Airbnb.
"The way to tackle Airbnb is not to ignore it. I will never underestimate Airbnb," he says.
There's been no significant impact on Frasers yet. Big corporations still prefer to put employees in big service apartments, he says, because they can guarantee a level of safety and security. But that is likely to change, Mr Choe admits.
"I have two daughters who to my chagrin use Airbnb," he says. "We took a family trip to Florence and I stayed in this wonderful boutique hotel, but paid a bundle for it.
"When my daughter joined us, she said, 'I'm just staying next door and paying about 80 euros'. We paid about 330 euros.
"I asked why they stayed at Airbnb. They say 'it's like a surprise, it's part of the adventure'."
And so now, Mr Choe wants to bring some of that vibrancy to Frasers.
While neutral colours, beige curtains and dark wooden chairs dominate its more traditional apartments, many customers want something different, and this is shaping Fraser's strategy.
In 2015 it bought Malmaison Hotel du Vin, a UK hotel group that specialises in developing heritage properties into upscale boutique hotels.
That has taken them beyond financial centres, including to Shakespeare's hometown of Stratford-upon-Avon. Or, an intrepid traveller with $500 (£325) to spend could have a night in a converted medieval prison in Oxford.
And Frasers has launched the Capri sub-brand - whose website promises "inspiring art and inspirational tech".
On a day-to-day basis Mr Choe says he still draws on his experience as a young man, who - having been given a scholarship by the Shangri-La hotel group to study at Cornell University in the US - came back to Asia to learn about the hospitality industry.
"They put me in every department conceivable. I remember one of the toughest jobs I had was in the butchery. I had to carve an entire cow. For one month, I could not eat meat.
"I'm thankful for those experiences. When you step into a hotel, you immediately pick up what works and what doesn't work.
"When I see the check-in staff walking more than three steps, I know the counter is set up wrong.
"It's like a cockpit. Can you imagine if the pilot had to turn around when he flies?"

Mr Choe adds that loyalty is very important to him, and he remains tremendously grateful to staff who have stayed with him.
"I will always respect and remember those who gave up their jobs to join me," he says.
This loyalty is something that Mr Choe has earned, according to Donald MacLaurin, associate professor at Singapore Institute of Technology, and specialist in the hospitality sector.
Mr MacLaurin points out that Mr Choe introduced a five-day working week, in a part of the world where six days is common, thereby showing "a focus on quality of life issues for employees".
The associate professor adds says the early success of the business was remarkable given the timing of its launch.
Fast forward to today and the company is now on track to operate 30,000 serviced apartments globally by 2019. That success, say Mr Choe's admirers, should make him something of a visionary.

Margaret Slater, who has dementia, was taken to Queen's Medical Centre Nottingham suffering severe hallucinations.
Her family said there appeared to be too many patients for the number of staff with queues of people in the hallways and waiting areas.
In a statement the trust apologised and said there was a "surge" in patients.
Ms Slater was taken to the emergency department on 11 November during a week when the Nottingham University Hospital's Trust missed its admissions target every day.
3,870
emergency patients seen in week beginning 9 November
80.7% admitted to ward within four hours over the week
74.1% admitted within four hours on the Wednesday
95% should be admitted within four hours according to the government
She was assessed by a nurse when she first arrived and then, three hours later, a doctor said she needed to be admitted but it was another eight hours before she was moved to a ward.
Linda Hughes, her daughter, said the staff were "very caring" but there did not appear to be enough of them.
"It was only due to the pressure we were putting on them that she was moved to a ward. In that time she was offered nothing to eat or drink.
"At one stage, we counted about a dozen [patients on trolleys] and more queuing outside in a corridor with paramedics."
In the week beginning 9 November, the hospital had 3,870 emergency admissions with 80.7% treated within four hours. The government target is 95%.
On the Wednesday, when Ms Slater was at QMC, the figure was 74.1%.
Alun Harcombe, divisional director of medicine, said the hospital was fully staffed but there had been a "surge in people attending", leading to longer admissions times.
"We apologise to Ms Slater and her family for the long wait and that she was not offered any food or drink and have reminded our staff of the importance of doing so at regular intervals," he added. | A hospital has apologised after a 90-year-old woman was left on a trolley for 11 hours without food or water. | 34908287 | [

Proposals include improving the driving and English language skills of drivers and stricter insurance requirements.
But Uber said that the proposals would raise prices and add to congestion in London.
"It's meant to be a public consultation but it clearly hasn't got the public's interests at heart," said Gareth Mead, Uber Europe's spokesperson on the Today programme.
An online petition called called Support Uber London has received more than 123,000 signatures, stating that the proposals would lead to a five minute waiting time before a customer can begin their Uber journey.
"There will be a mandatory five minute wait time, even if a car is available just around the corner. You won't even be able to see the nearest cars when you open the app", the petition claimed.
Mr Mead said of the proposed five-minute wait for trip confirmation: "As the night's draw in, it's starting to get colder and darker. I'm not quite sure how that [proposal] benefits anybody."
Earlier this week Garrett Emmerson, a senior executive at TfL, said in a statement: "In recent years the private hire industry has grown exponentially and technology has also developed rapidly. The consultation sets out a number of ways that standards across the industry could be raised.
"No final decisions have been made and we're keen to hear a range of views from the trade and from Londoners too."
The Californian technology company has faced resistance from taxi drivers around the world, who argue that Uber drivers escape regulation.
But Mr Mead said Uber drivers are subject to the same measures which govern the private hire industry, including background checks and licensing requirements.
Responding to criticism that Uber cannot ensure that its drivers are taking rest breaks, Mr Mead said: "One of the advantages of a digital technology company is that you can see, to the minute, what they [drivers] are doing, and we tell them when they need to take a break."
Mr Mead said that since Uber launched in London a year ago, it had gained 1 million users in the capital. | Taxi hiring app Uber said London's transport authority is proposing rules that are "against the public interest". | 34421913 | [

The drug had been injected into the soles of the sports shoes to look like shock-absorbing gel.
Customs officials became suspicious after finding the man's suitcase contained six pairs of trainers and almost nothing else.
Italian police said the drugs haul had a street value of more 2m euros (£1.8m/$2.2m).

The man, who had said he flew to Rome for a short holiday, has been detained on charges of smuggling seven kilograms (15.4Ib) of narcotics into Italy.
The arrest followed a random check on passengers arriving at Rome's main airport from Sao Paulo, Brazil.
"Only an expert would have been able to tell the liquid wasn't the usual gel," Italy's financial police said. | A Brazilian man has been caught at Fiumicino airport in Rome trying to smuggle liquid cocaine in his trainers. | 37812906 | [

Operation Anagram was formed by Strathclyde Police in 2006 after Tobin raped and murdered 23-year-old Polish student Angelika Kluk in Glasgow.
It also helped convict him of the murders of 18-year-old Dinah McNicol and 15-year-old Vicky Hamilton.
Police said that while the operation was being scaled back it would never end.
Det Sup David Swindle, who formed the operation, said anyone with information regarding Peter Tobin would still be able to contact the Anagram incident room via e-mail which would be monitored daily.
"Since Operation Anagram was formed in 2006, I could never have believed the momentum and magnitude it would have developed into," he said.
"The public response and assistance from the media has been unbelievable.
"The long-running investigation has brought some solace to the families of Vicky Hamilton and Dinah McNicol in knowing what happened to their loved ones."
Det Sup Swindle said that although Anagram had not uncovered other murder victims of Tobin to date, he was "proud" of its "success in bringing closure" to some bereaved families.
He added: "I leave Strathclyde Police after 34 years in the knowledge that we have tried our best to find out the truth of what Tobin has done and also with confidence that the Anagram processes built up over the last four and a half years ensures a life long awareness of this cowardly, vicious serial killer Tobin.
"Any new information coming to light will continue to be researched which may bring similar closure to other families.
"The search for the truth about what Peter Tobin has done will continue."
Tobin is serving three life sentences for the murders of Vicky Hamilton, Dinah McNicol and Angelika Kluk.
Ms Kluk was raped and murdered at a church in Glasgow in 2006.
The bodies of Ms McNicol, from Essex, and Ms Hamilton, from Redding in Falkirk, were found the following year in the garden of Tobin's former home in Margate, Kent.
Operation Anagram has helped piece together a timeline of Tobin's movements and relationships over decades in a bid to determine whether he is responsible for other unsolved crimes. | A dedicated police operation set up to examine the activities of serial killer Peter Tobin is to be wound down. | 13717063 | [

Sukhjit Singh, from Derby, was found dead in his bed while on holiday in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh.
His wife Ramandeep Kaur Mann is facing charges of plotting the killing with his childhood friend Gurpeet Singh.
Police claimed the pair are lovers but her family has denied the charges and said it is launching a legal battle.
Friends in Derby said the news came as a shock and their priority was the couple's young children, who remain with their grandmother in India.
The family were visiting Sukhjit's mother in Banda, about 450km (280 miles) south east of New Delhi, and were due to fly home earlier this month.
Local police said the Derby man was found dead in his mother's house with his throat slit and having sustained head injuries on 1 September.
They accused Ramandeep and Gurpeet of being lovers and arrested Gurpeet as he attempted to board a flight to Dubai.
Gurpal Singh worked with Sukhjit at the National Sikh Museum in Derby and saw the family the night before they flew to India.
"We all really want to know the truth. All we've heard are reports in the media and we are concerned the story is being repeated without a proper investigation," he said.
"We are all in shock. They are a lovely family - he was a devout and humble man. There was nothing to suggest anything was wrong at home.
"I'm not questioning what the Indian police have said but we would all like to see a proper investigation of what has happened."
The Foreign Office said it was providing assistance to a British national who had been detained and to the family of Sukhjit Singh.
Prayers will be said at the Sri Guru Singh Sabha in Derby later and for several days next week. | A British woman has been accused by police in India of colluding with her alleged lover in the murder of her husband. | 37329107 | [

The fold-out note, penned by Lennon when he was 11 years old, thanks his Aunt Harriet for presents she gave him, including a book about ships.
He sent the thank you message shortly after Christmas in 1951 to his mother Julia's younger sister.
During his Beatles career, Lennon often wrote to friends and family but this is understood to be his first letter.
In the letter, which has a few grammatical errors, the young Lennon says how much he is enjoying reading a book about famous ships.
He wrote: "Dear Harrie Thankyou for the book that you sent to me for Christmas and for the towel with my name on it, And I think it is the best towl (sic) I've ever seen.
"The book that you sent to me is a very interesting one. I am at the bottom of page 18 at the moment. The story is famous Ships its all about a man called Captain kidd the pirate.
"I am on the second chapter, the first chapter is called the Victory and the second is called the Mary Celeste.
"Thankyou for the red jumper that you sent to me.
"I hope you have a happy new year. Love from John x"
The letter - which was formerly the property of his cousin David Birch, Harriet's son - is to be sold at an online auction that closes on 3 April.
The auction contains around 300 lots of Beatles and music memorabilia, including the address book from Liverpool's Cavern Club where the group played many gigs, and a collection of records that were previously owned by Lennon. | The earliest known letter written by John Lennon is expected to fetch more than £30,000 at auction next month. | 35739652 | [

And her ambition doesn't stop there. Brittany Wenger wants a dual career as a paediatric oncologist and research scientist.
The teenager from Sarasota, Florida, became interested in neural networks - a form of artificial intelligence that continuously learns and mimics the human brain - in high school.
She was building a neural network that could play soccer, her favourite game, when her cousin was diagnosed with breast cancer, inspiring her to put her talents to medical use.
Ms Wenger came up with the idea of creating an artificial intelligence software program to analyse data from a breast tissue biopsy.
"In the simplest terms, I am trying to teach the computer how to diagnose cancer," she says.
"I'm trying to teach the computer how to think so it can detect patterns that allow it to diagnose cancers easier and quicker."
In London, to speak at the Royal Society of Medicine, she is passionate about the idea of fusing the concepts of computer science and biology.
She says a key message is to inspire others to give it a try.
"Coding is not easy," she says. "This experiment flopped three times before it was successful and I had to scrap the entire experiment."
She believes the great thing about science is that you learn just as much from failed experiments as successful ones.
"I think it was Thomas Edison who said, 'I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work'," she says.
"It's all a puzzle and it's exciting to find the pieces that fit together. And in that moment, that eureka moment, when you do figure it out, it's definitely worth all the hard work."
The breast cancer programme is being tested in two hospitals, in the US and Italy.
She is also applying the same sort of approach to leukaemia, with a cloud-based computer program to find patterns in a patient's genetic signature that can be used to predict relapse.
Now a first-year student at Duke University, North Carolina, studying biology, she eventually wants to become both a paediatric oncologist and a research scientist.
"I was that kid who never outgrew the why? phase," she says. "And through this means of science I can not only come up with my own questions, but I can find the answers."
Commenting on the role of computers in cancer diagnosis, Dr Emma Smith, senior science information officer at Cancer Research UK, said they were essential in modern research as they can store and process large amounts of data.
"This depth of knowledge has already led to big steps forward in diagnosing cancer and getting patients more tailored treatments.
"But any new technology needs to be thoroughly tested in clinical trials to prove it's as least as good as the current system before it can be used in the clinic."

His career-best 9-95 helped Essex beat Middlesex by an innings and 34 runs.
"You can't really put it into words. Sometimes things go your way," the 28-year-old South African told BBC Essex.
"I was saying to our scorer I'll probably never take four five-fers or 28 wickets in two games ever again - it's just been one of those weeks."
He continued: "You've got to ride the wave while you can because I can guarantee you I'll be back in South Africa at the Wanderers, bowling on an absolute road and getting smashed all over the place."
The victory over the reigning champions left Essex 29 points clear at the top of Division One in their first season back in the top flight.
Kolpak player Harmer, who returned career-best figures of 14-128 in last week's win over Warwickshire, has now taken 47 wickets in eight matches this season.
And he said a Championship day-night trial with the new pink ball helped his cause against Middlesex in Chelmsford.
Harmer said: "I think everybody's feedback was that it came off the bat a bit better and there was a bit of extra bounce, and obviously being a spinner on day four when the wicket's slow and low to get that extra bounce is nice.
"It keeps the batsman guessing because it takes the sweep shot out of the equation because it's bouncing.
"They need to look to then play off the back foot or whatever, so it definitely helped me." | Essex off-spinner Simon Harmer says he is "riding the wave" after taking 14 wickets in both of his past two County Championship matches. | 40456293 | [

Yn ôl y corff sydd yn cynrychioli busnesau gofal, mae nifer yn ymladd i gadw fynd ac yn wynebu argyfwng recriwtio wrth i ysbytai ac archfarchnadoedd gystadlu am weithwyr.
Mae Cymdeithas Llywodraeth Leol Cymru yn dweud bod yn rhaid i awdurdodau lleol gael fwy o arian i dalu cyflogau gwell i'r gweithwyr.
Dadl Llywodraeth Cymru yw eu bod wedi buddsoddi yn y sector, gan gynnwys rhoi mwy o gyllid fel bod cynghorau yn gallu cwrdd â'r cynnydd yn y cyflog byw cenedlaethol sydd yn dod i rym mis Ebrill.
Gofynnodd rhaglen BBC Week In Week Out wrth awdurdodau lleol faint o gwmnïau oedd wedi tynnu yn ôl o ddarparu pecyn gofal ar ôl cael cytundeb.
Dywedodd 13 o'r 21 cyngor wnaeth ymateb eu bod wedi wynebu'r sefyllfa yma.
Mae Colin Angel o Gymdeithas Gofal Cartref Prydain, sef y corff sydd yn cynrychioli cwmnïau gofal, yn dweud bod nifer o'u haelodau yn ei chael hi'n anodd i oroesi.
"Yr hyn rydyn ni'n clywed yng Nghymru yw bod rhai darparwyr mewn cyfyng gyngor, ac yn ceisio yn galed i ganfod ffordd i barhau fel busnes gyda'r cyfraddau maen nhw'n cael eu talu gan y cynghorau lleol."
Mae'n dweud bod peryg y bydd cwmnïau yn dod i ben, a hynny yn gyflymach mewn ardaloedd gwledig.
Un cwmni wnaeth orfod rhoi'r gorau i ddarparu gofal i gyngor Conwy oedd Cymorth Llaw.
Roedd y cyngor wedi cynnig talu £15 yr awr i'r cwmni, ond penderfynodd y busnes nad oedd hynny'n ddigon o arian.
Dywedodd pennaeth Cymorth Llaw, Ken Hogg: "Doedden ni ddim yn meddwl y bydden ni yn gallu darparu'r lefel yma o wasanaeth am y pris roedd Conwy yn gynnig. Ac mi oedden ni yn gyndyn iawn, iawn o adael ond mi oedd yn rhaid i ni adael.
"Ar ddiwedd y dydd, busnes ydyn ni. Mae'n rhaid i'n rheolwr banc fod yn hapus. Mae'n rhaid i ni wneud rhyw fath o elw ar ddiwedd y flwyddyn."
Mae Cyngor Conwy yn dweud eu bod wedi ymrwymo i gefnogi pobl fregus mewn cymunedau, er yr heriau ariannol.
Yn ôl Steve Thomas o Gymdeithas Llywodraeth Leol Cymru, mae cynghorau angen mwy o arian er mwyn gallu talu cyflogau gwell i ofalwyr.
"Fel mae hi, oni bai ein bod ni'n cael mwy o arian yn dod mewn i'r system mae gyda ni broblem fawr," meddai.
"Does 'na neb yn ymfalchïo yn y cyflog rydyn ni yn talu'r rhai sy'n gweithio yn y sector gofal cymdeithasol."
Ym mis Mawrth cyhoeddodd Llywodraeth y DU £2bn yn ychwanegol ar gyfer gofal cymdeithasol yn Lloegr, a £200m i Gymru.
Ond dyw Llywodraeth Cymru ddim wedi penderfynu eto beth fyddan nhw'n gwneud efo'r arian.
Mae'r gweinidog sydd â chyfrifoldeb am y maes, Rebecca Evans AC, yn dweud mai penderfyniad i gabinet Llywodraeth Cymru yw sut i wario'r arian ond eu bod nhw'n gweithredu i ddatrys problemau recriwtio ac y bydd cyflwyno cynllun gofrestru ar gyfer gweithwyr yn 2020 yn helpu.
"Bydd hynny yn rhoi'r clod dyledus i'r gweithlu, achos pan mae'n dod at edrych ar ôl ein pobl fwyaf bregus, pa swydd sydd yn fwy pwysig na hynny?
"Fe fydd hefyd yn rhoi cyfle i bobl yn y maes gael y cyfle i feddwl am ddatblygu eu gyrfa, achos dyw hynny ddim yn digwydd ar hyn o bryd."
Dywedodd hefyd eu bod wedi buddsoddi yn y sector i wella amodau gweithwyr. | Mae dros hanner cynghorau Cymru yn dweud bod cwmnïau gofal wedi rhoi'r gorau i ddarparu eu gwasanaethau oherwydd cyfyngiadau ariannol. | 39305248 | [

The woman, who has not been named, was operating a paramotor - a motorised paraglider - when she had a "very close encounter" with an Airbus A400M near Andover, Hampshire, in July, the UK Airprox Board (UKAB) said.
She told investigators "she thought she was going to die".
The UKAB assessed the incident as having the most serious degree of risk.
The woman, who was taking part in a training weekend with the British Paramotor Team at the time, "turned abruptly to the right" after spotting the aircraft, which was flown 600ft (183m) from her, the report said.
The A400M pilot, who was approaching Boscombe Down Airport in Wiltshire, said he did not take any avoidance action when he saw the woman as "it was quickly apparent" she would pass down the left hand-side of his aircraft.
Investigators concluded that both pilots "shared an equal responsibility for collision avoidance".
They added that "providence had played a major part" in the woman escaping unhurt.
A member of the board stated that there was a "very real risk" from the wake turbulence caused by the aircraft and concluded that "the paramotor pilot's concerns about the risk posed were justified". | A paraglider feared for her life during a near miss with a military transport aircraft, a report has said. | 38318053 | [

On Friday, a 34-year-old woman became the second person in three weeks to die at the busy Bow Roundabout junction.
The victim, who is yet to be named, was pronounced dead at 16:45 GMT.
The 29-year-old driver of a lorry involved in the crash was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.
He was released on bail to return to an east London police station on 7 December pending further inquiries.
The London Cycling Campaign (LCC) group demanded an immediate redesign of the roundabout.
It said the roundabout was dangerous because the cycle superhighway stopped in the middle of the Bow roundabout.
LCC's chief executive Ashok Sinha said: "We're appalled at this latest preventable death and are fearful of what may happen when large numbers of cyclists are expected to tackle this junction on their way to and from the Olympics next year.
"We can't understand how this junction can form part of what is one of the Mayor's flagship cycling projects: it must be redesigned now."
TfL surface transport manager Leon Daniels said: "We are extremely sorry to learn of the tragic death of a female cyclist, following a collision with an HGV on the Bow Road roundabout on Friday evening.
"Our thoughts are with her family and friends. I have visited the scene and both TfL and the police have launched inquiries which will report as quickly as possible‬." Â
Last month a 58-year-old man was killed in a collision with a tipper truck.
Four priority lanes for cyclists, branded cycle superhighways, have been painted blue around London, and another eight are due to open within the next four years.
On Saturday, more than 300 cyclists rode through the capital in a "Tour du Danger" protest calling for the capital's roads to be made safer.
Cycling blogger Danny Williams said: "I think the superhighways should be made proper superhighways.
"I think it's a good idea, incredibly badly implemented and not very well thought through, and the Mayor needs to take responsibility for that.
A TfL spokesman said: "There has been an 18% fall in the number of cyclists killed or seriously injured on London's roads in the last decade, compared to the TfL's baseline figures from the mid to late 1990s."
No-one from the office of Mayor Boris Johnson was available for comment. | Transport for London (TfL) has said it is "sorry" about the death of a female cyclist who was killed on a cycle "superhighway" in east London. | 15706706 | [

The US administration signalled heavy cuts to UN operations, in its budget proposals released on Tuesday.
The US foots more than a quarter of the UN's $7.9bn (£6.1bn) peacekeeping bill.
A spokesman for UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said the organisation was willing to discuss how peacekeeping could be made more cost-effective.
Mr Trump's budget proposal declares new "attention on the appropriate US share of international spending at the United Nations".
The document does not provide a detailed breakdown, but Reuters news agency reports the drop in funding for the operations could amount to $1bn.
The spokesman said the UN was studying Mr Trump's plan. "The figures presented would simply make it impossible for the UN to continue all of its essential work advancing peace, development, human rights and humanitarian assistance," he said.
The BBC's Nick Bryant at the UN says such a warning from the organisation is unusually blunt.
The US president does not set the budget, but makes recommendations to Congress. It is understood that the UN secretary general has been lobbying Congress members on the importance of international peacekeeping.
The US provides 28.5% of the United Nations peacekeeping budget - almost three times as much as the next-highest contributor, China.
While Mr Trump's plan does not include details, the US is known to want to cap its contributions to a maximum of 25%.
There are currently 16 active peacekeeping operations, including Syria, South Sudan, and on the border of India and Pakistan. | The United Nations has warned that President Donald Trump's plans to cut contributions to peacekeeping will make such work "impossible". | 40035837 | [

The Friends of Sherwood Forest say the £5.3m centre, located on the edge of a country park, will devastate the area.
"It has all sorts of wildlife - insect life and newts," the charity's group spokesman Adrian Wilson said.
Nottinghamshire County Council said the new site would "balance the interests" of the community and visitors.
The current centre is in Sherwood Forest Country Park, on land designated as a site of special scientific interest but plans are to move it to Forest Corner, on grassland on the edge of the park.
The council has signed a contract with the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) to build and run a new one.
County council spokesman Derek Higton said: "The centre will be run by one of the world's leading conservation organisations - and that's why we partnered with them."
Updates on this story and more from Nottinghamshire
"We are confident we can balance the interests of the community and the interests of the 350,000 people who visit Sherwood Forest and Major Oak every year."
Detailed plans have not yet been submitted.
Mr Wilson said: "It is priceless - if you were to drive up the road, on a Sunday lunchtime, you would see the cricketers out here all in their whites, people sat round watching the cricket match.
"You get that feeling straight way - this is England."
Shawn and Linda Geery, who walk their dog in the country park, said: "It is too near the edge of the forest, the parking problems will be horrendous."
Construction is scheduled to start in December 2016 with the opening expected by winter 2017. | A new visitors' centre proposed for Sherwood Forest will ruin "a priceless" tract of land and threaten wildlife, opponents say. | 35036482 | [

Wilder's side were confirmed champions after rivals Oxford lost to Luton Town.
"He's a very down to earth guy, he's a motivator and certainly gets us going for games," said Richards.
"That hour before the game after we've warmed up he's certainly getting in each other's ears. It's loud in the dressing room, put it that way."
Richards continued to BBC Radio Northampton: "But you can go to him and speak to him, anything about football or outside football. He's been first class for all the players this season."
In November, the club owed repayments on a £10.25m loan to the local borough council, while they faced a winding-up petition from HM Revenue & Customs and the club's bank account was frozen.
However, after a takeover from Kelvin Thomas changed the fortunes of the club off the pitch and Wilder and his team continued their fine form to win 10 matches in a row, and they are currently on a 20-game unbeaten run.
Richards himself, though, has missed the run-in because of an Achilles injury, which needed an operation.
"I've had a tendon taken out of each Achilles, apparently you don't need them, and I've had a scrape on my Achilles to take away the scar tissue," said the 33-year-old.
"It'll be another week on my crutches, I should be back jogging within five weeks and then a week before pre-season starts I should be back to full fitness.
"The idea behind getting the operation done now was to make sure I was ready for next season. Maybe I could have battled on through the last few games, but I wouldn't have done myself or the club justice." | Northampton Town striker Marc Richards has praised "first-class" manager Chris Wilder after the Cobblers won the League Two title. | 36072172 | [

With all the results now declared, Jac Larner of Cardiff University sums up the night for Wales' five main parties.
WELSH LABOUR
Labour have exceeded all expectations in Wales.
They have outperformed every single Wales-only poll over the course of the campaign - and the exit poll - achieving their highest share of the vote in Wales since 1997.
Not only did they successfully defend their 25 seats, but they gained three seats from the Conservatives, taking their total to 28 in Wales.
This is their best performance in terms of seat share since 2005, and their best performance in terms of share of the Wales vote since the New Labour landslide of 1997.
This extends their run of winning general elections in Wales to 26 in a row.
WELSH CONSERVATIVES
The Conservatives also saw their vote share increase across Wales by 6.3%, but this was not enough for them to hold off Labour's surge in Wales.
Early in the night they were confident about gaining seats in Bridgend, Newport West and in the north east of Wales, so a net loss of 3 seats will be a big disappointment.
Historically, the Conservatives have always performed worse in Wales than in England at every election going back to 1859, and this election looks to be no different.
PLAID CYMRU
It was a strange night for Plaid Cymru that ended in success with the election of their youngest ever MP, Ben Lake.
They increased their parliamentary representation, taking Ceredigion from the Liberal Democrats, and their vote held up where they were defending the three seats won in 2015.
Their group of four MPs is the party's largest Westminster cohort since the 2001 general election.
Yet their vote share fell nationally by 1.7% and they lost votes in their other target seats of Ynys Mon, Llanelli and Rhondda.
However, Plaid will view themselves as one of the few winners in this election on a night where smaller parties saw their vote share squeezed across the UK.
LIBERAL DEMOCRATS
The Liberal Democrats' torrid time at elections in Wales continues.
They won their worst ever share of the vote in the party's history in Wales, and lost their solo MP Mark Williams in Ceredigion to Plaid Cymru.
With only one AM in Wales, and limited representation in local government in Wales, the Liberal Democrats can no longer be considered to be a significant political player in the country.
It is the first time since the founding of one of the Lib Dem's predecessor party, the Liberals, in 1859 that they will have no Westminster representation in Wales.
UKIP
UKIP's vote share has collapsed considerably across Wales, polling 11.6% less than 2015 after 38 constituencies had been called.
Opinion polling across the campaign suggested that around two-thirds of the 2015 UKIP vote would go to the Conservatives.
From the results we have seen so far, it seems that a significant proportion of these voters have voted for Labour in Wales. | It has been a dramatic night that has confounded expectations of political parties and commentators. | 40213181 | [

The sculpture, depicting a sprawled murder victim surrounded by police tape, was crowned winner of the Cornwall Beach Games sandcastle competition.
But Devon and Cornwall Police was criticised after boasting officers tweeted about their victory.
Labour councillor Hannah Toms said some would find it "very offensive".
The force said it was a "fun event" and officers had not intended to cause any offence.
Ms Toms acknowledged officers had intended to be "light-hearted" but said the sandcastle "somewhat misses the mark and is in a bit of poor taste".
"I like a joke as much as the next person but this is a family beach event," she said.
"As a parent I would not be very happy to explain to my child what it was all about.
"It's trivialising quite a serious matter."
Ms Toms added: "I think there's a level of sexual stereotyping with the large bottom and the large breasts. Police have been working really hard to break down barriers on reporting sex crimes and I don't think this image really helps their cause."
Reaction on social media was mixed, with some defending the sandcastle.
Hazel Jago said on Facebook: "So it's a team of police officers representing the type of work they deal with. What's the problem!? There is always someone that will whinge about something."
Lorraine Lardon said: "People need an injection of humour."
A spokesman for Devon and Cornwall Police said: "If any offence has been cause by the nature of the sculpture, this was never intended and we apologise for that." | A police force has apologised after its officers made a sandcastle "crime scene" featuring a naked dead woman. | 36339843 | [

Waving flags and banners, they escorted the body of Ivana Hoffmann, 19, through the city of Duisburg to the cemetery where she was buried.
Ms Hoffman was killed earlier this month in the battle for Tal Tamr, in north-western Syria.
She had been fighting alongside the Kurdish Popular Protection Units (YPG).
Ms Hoffman was the first Western female fighter known to have been killed fighting IS.
She was a member of Turkey's Marxist-Leninist Communist Party (MLKP) and joined the YPG fighters six months ago.
A MLKP statement, which referred to her by her nom de guerre Avasin Tekosin Gunes, declared her to be "immortal".
UK-based activist group the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said last week that at least 40 Kurdish fighters and IS militants had been killed in the battle for Tal Tamr.
About 100 Western volunteers are believed to be fighting IS alongside Kurdish forces in northern Syria and neighbouring Iraq. | About 2,000 people have attended the funeral march for a German woman who died fighting Islamic State (IS) militants in Syria. | 31893356 | [

A ruling will allow users and expert analysts to carry out repairs. But changes such as extracting and selling code would still breach copyright.
Vehicle manufacturers opposed the move, saying repair garages could fix any issues.
The ruling follows claims the right to modify software could have prevented the Volkswagen emissions scandal.
The Library of Congress, which oversees the US Copyright Office, agreed with fair use advocates who argued that vehicle owners are entitled to modify their cars, which often involves altering software, Reuters reported.
Manufacturers, including General Motors (GM) and Deere, spoke out in opposition. A GM representative referred to a statement from an industry group that said the new rules would weaken safety innovation.
"Sensitive vehicle data could be easily manipulated, altered, or distributed - undetected - if these changes are implemented," the statement said.
Deere spokesman Ken Golden said the company stands by its earlier opposition. But he added that some systems that transmit data from the vehicle to Deere could still be protected by copyright.
Security researchers also pushed for copyright liability protection because computer programs are "pervasive" in modern machines and devices, including vehicles, home appliances and medical devices.
"We are pleased that analysts will now be able to examine the software in the cars we drive without facing legal threats from car manufacturers," said Kit Walsh, a staff attorney for the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), which advocated for the rule changes.
In the wake of the Volkswagen emissions deceit, the EFF said car manufacturers' software should not be protected from independent scrutiny.
"When you entrust your health, safety, or privacy to a device, the law shouldn't punish you for trying to understand how that device works and whether it is trustworthy," Walsh blogged. The new rules must be renewed in three years, he said.
Some US government agencies expressed serious reservations about the new rules, and the Environmental Protection Agency flatly opposed them.
"EPA explained that vehicle modifications are often performed to increase engine power or boost fuel economy, but that these modifications increase vehicle emissions and thus violate the Clean Air Act," the Library of Congress said in its final rule.
However, the new rules do not allow vehicle owners to break any other laws, the Library said, and will not take effect for a year so the EPA and other agencies have time to prepare. | Security researchers have been given the green light to hunt for flaws in car software by US authorities. | 34656699 | [

Under anti-tax avoidance rules, if someone's tax arrangements are found to be "abusive" they must pay back the tax they have avoided.
But shadow chancellor Ed Balls pledged a "genuine deterrent" by making them liable to pay the same amount again.
A Tory spokesman said it was "feeble stuff" and Labour had no economic plan.
Tax avoidance, unlike tax evasion, is not illegal. Ministers have said it involves "compliance with the letter but not the spirit of the law".
In recent years it emerged that companies and individuals had been greatly reducing their liabilities by making use of legal tax shelter schemes.
Meanwhile the "tax gap" - the difference between the amount of tax owed and collected - rose to £34bn in the year to April 2013.
The government's so-called general anti-abuse rule (GAAR) came into force in July 2013, after Chancellor George Osborne described aggressive tax avoidance - as well as illegal tax evasion - as "morally repugnant".
It aimed to "deter taxpayers from entering into abusive arrangements, and to deter would-be promoters from promoting such arrangements".
The rule is a broad set of principles designed to prevent tax avoidance, to avoid having constantly to introduce new legislation to tackle individual loopholes.
Labour has previously said it would increase transparency in the tax system and prevent dormant companies from trading without paying tax.
It has pledged to use some of the money raised from a tax avoidance crackdown for its £2.5bn NHS funding pledge.
Mr Balls said Labour had supported the introduction of the anti-abuse rule, but said it was "without teeth".
He said: "Those who are caught have to repay the tax they tried to avoid, but they do not face a penalty. There is still no disincentive to try and game the system. That is why Labour will bring in a tough penalty regime... with fines of up to 100% of the value of the tax which was avoided.
"For the first time this will provide a tough and genuine deterrent to those who try to abuse the system and avoid paying their fair share of tax."
The shadow chancellor said aggressive tax avoiders should be treated the same as people who cheat the welfare system.
He added: "Through measures such as this we can ensure that no-one pays zero tax at the top so we can get the deficit down fairly, invest in our NHS, and maintain public support for the dynamic open economy we need."
The proposals were backed by leading chartered accountant and tax-reform campaigner Richard Murphy, who was a member of the panel which helped draw up the anti-abuse rules.
"Without such a regime, the GAAR is a toothless tiger providing, at best, Revenue and Customs with the chance to ask those found in default to play by the rules in future," Mr Murphy, who is an adviser to the Trades Union Congress and the Unite union - Labour's largest financial backer - said.
"With significant penalties attached, the GAAR becomes a more potent threat and, regrettably, in the face of ongoing tax abuse, Revenue and Customs needs as many of those as it can get."
However, a Conservative spokesman said Labour leader Ed Miliband had been at the heart of former prime minister Gordon Brown's Treasury as "year after year" they broke promises to deal with tax avoidance.
"If Ed thinks empty promises like this will get him into Downing Street, it's no wonder his own party are lining up to criticise his weak and ineffective leadership," the spokesman added. | Labour has said it plans to double the fines that can be levied on people who aggressively avoid tax, if it wins the next general election. | 30043020 | [

Former baseball player Mike Piazza and businessman Giuseppe Corrado have both ended their interest in the bankrupt club, and no other offers were made before Monday's deadline.
Parma, who were relegated from Serie A, cannot now register for Serie B.
The club won the Uefa Cup twice and the Cup Winners' Cup once during the 1990s.
The northern Italy side also won two of their three Italian Cups in the decade, and were Serie A runners-up in the 1996-97 season.
Parma's total debts are nearly 75m euros (£54m), but in order to register for Serie B they needed to clear their sporting debt - money owed to players and staff. | Parma are set to begin next season as an amateur club in Italy's fourth tier after failing to find a buyer to pay off a debt of 22.6m euros (£16.2m). | 33224457 | [

Carwyn Jones told The Guardian newspaper that people's "sense of disengagement with Brussels" could attach itself to London after Brexit.
The UK government said it will trigger the Article 50 process on March 29.
Mrs May, visiting Swansea, promised to seek the "best possible deal" that would work for everyone across the UK.
Mr Jones told The Guardian the prime minister had a "tin ear" on matters of devolution.
He warned the future of the UK could be under threat if the UK government did not listen to the other administrations.
"If they are not careful, people's sense of disengagement with Brussels will simply attach itself to London," he said.
"They are giving the impression sometimes that they do not listen.
"And what kind of message is that to the people of Wales?"
Amid calls in Scotland for a second referendum on independence, the first minister said Wales needed to see a "dividend" for his government's continued support of a United Kingdom.
"Otherwise people in Wales are going to start saying, well, the government is listening to the Scots, we need to be like them," he said.
"And that's a dangerous path for the UK."
Last week, Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon announced her intention to seek approval for a second independence referendum, to be held between Autumn 2018 and Spring 2019.
Mr Jones met Mrs May in her visit to Swansea on Monday, during which she also signed the £1.3bn Swansea Bay Region city deal.
Following the meeting, the first minister said the talks had been "constructive".
"It was made clear that Welsh interventions had helped change and strengthen the UK positions on transition arrangements and on workers' rights," Mr Jones said.
He called for more "partnership working" in the vein of the city deal as Article 50 approaches.
Mrs May said she wanted to get "the best possible deal for the United Kingdom that works for everyone across the United Kingdom".
She said the objectives included a "good free trade deal" and co-operation on matters such as security.
Later in the afternoon, Mr Jones warned the assembly's constitutional and legislative affairs committee there could be Supreme Court challenges if the UK government took back powers from Europe and then decided which were to be devolved.
"I think that's wrong," he said. "That's not the way we read our devolution settlement. It is the way that many in the UK government see it."
He also told the committee, meeting in Newport, that it was "not always clear" that the Wales Office had "much influence" within the UK government. | Welsh support for the UK could be in doubt if Theresa May does not listen to concerns about devolution, the first minister has warned. | 39326750 | [

The Patriots are being investigated over allegations they under-inflated balls in beating the Indianapolis Colts to reach the showpiece event.
But, despite trailing 24-14, they rallied to become the first team in Super Bowl history to trail by double digits in the second half and win.
The Patriots took the lead with two minutes left and held on for victory.
The New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was named the most valuable player of Sunday's Super Bowl, with the 37-year-old throwing four touchdown passes, including two in the fourth quarter.
He set a new record for career Super Bowl touchdown passes with 13 to break the old mark held by his childhood idol Joe Montana. Brady's 37 completions also set a new Super Bowl record.
Pop star Katy Perry was the star attraction at the interval and she was joined by special guests Lenny Kravitz and Missy Elliott.
Perry entered the pitch on a giant golden robotic lion as she sang her hit 'Roar' before Kravitz provided some rock and Missy Elliott some hip-hop.
The climax saw Perry lifted 50 feet off the ground by a mechanical contraption and she sang 'Firework' as she floated above the pitch.
Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll was criticised for his decision to throw, rather than run the ball with powerhouse Marshawn Lynch, with his team a yard out and just seconds remaining.
"That play call will haunt Pete for the rest of his career," said former Cowboys receiver Terrell Owens.
"Why get cute at that point?" ex-Green Bay Packers player Bucky Brooks commented.
However, Katy Perry received some praise. Pop star Britney Spears said: "That half-time show! Katy Perry you rocked it." | The New England Patriots overcame the 'deflate-gate' row to beat the Seattle Seahawks 28-24 in the Super Bowl. | 31065423 | [

Alice Pyne, 17, of Ulverston, died of Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2013 after publishing her wish list.
Haley McTaggart, 33, admitted getting her charity Alice's Escapes to pay £2,000 for her to go on a trek to Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania.
McTaggart admitted fraud and was jailed for 10 months suspended for two years.
The court also heard how McTaggart sold raffle tickets for a false raffle and never handed over the money.
She also told the charity that she was unable to transfer money after the trip to Tanzania.
Sentencing McTaggart, Recorder John Corless said she had committed an "unpleasant and serious" offence.
Alice's Escapes was founded in 2012 by Miss Payne who 16 at the time.
The teenager wanted to provide holidays in Cumbria for seriously ill children and their families.
The top item on her bucket list was the hope that everyone in the UK would sign up as a bone marrow donor, an aspiration which Prime Minister David Cameron praised in the House of Commons.
It is estimated that about 40,000 people signed up as donors as a direct result of her appeal.
Miss Pyne and her sister Milly raised more than £100,000. | A Whitehaven woman who defrauded a charity set up by a teenager dying of cancer who became well-known for her "bucket list" has been sentenced. | 35748919 | [
