The monitoring of paramilitary activity in Northern Ireland was conducted by the IMC up until 2011.
The PSNI has previously said it would support any move to set up such a body.
Lord Alderdice, who is also a former leader of the Alliance Party, said he did not think it would be appropriate for the commission to return now.
Talks will begin next week in Belfast in a bid to resolve the current crisis, sparked by the murder of ex-IRA man Kevin McGuigan Sr.
Police believe that killing was in retaliation for the murder of former IRA commander Gerard Jock Davison in the Markets area of Belfast in May.
The Ulster Unionists withdrew from the executive after police said Provisional IRA members had a role in the killing.
"The current crisis is of a different order," Lord Alderdice told BBC Radio Ulster's Talkback programme.
"Even before the horrible murders of these two men, we were right on the edge of devolution being set aside.
"If somehow or another, magically, the issue of these two murders was taken out of the picture, we would still be in that position of crisis where the assembly, the executive, is about to be suspended or fold because there is no agreement on the governance of Northern Ireland.
"The IMC or any new IMC could not help that problem at all, it did not have a political mandate to try to get people to negotiate on the politics and the governance issue.
"I think it is maybe unwise for people to look back at a form of treatment that worked before and say: 'Oh well the symptoms are the same so the diagnosis is the same'." | The ex-chair of the Independent Monitoring Commission (IMC) has said he does not believe bringing it back would solve the latest Stormont crisis. | 34152489 | [

If you don't like the latter, I'm afraid there's only bad news in store - there will be more leaflets and canvassing than ever during the next six weeks.
That's in large part due to the fact that there is a real spring in the step of the smaller parties, buoyed by a general disappointment in their larger, more-established, opponents.
Let's talk about UKIP first because it is they who are making this election so different across the North West.
In terms of winning seats, their main - and arguably only - Greater Manchester target appears to be Heywood and Middleton, where they ran Labour very close in last autumn's by-election.
But UKIP's impact will be felt much more widely - their claim last week that they are the "new party for the working class" will have sent shivers down some Labour spines.
The Tories, meanwhile, are just as worried about losing precious votes in the key marginals which will ultimately decide the result of the election nationally.
Chancellor George Osborne will surely be hoping his devolution deals, and the inclusion of Greater Manchester in the so-called Northern Powerhouse, will win over some hearts, minds and votes - but for decades this hasn't been a happy hunting ground for Conservatives.
The Greens are also talking up their chances, but it will be interesting to see from whom will their votes come if they do? And will Bez have as much of an impact on politics in Salford and Eccles as he did on the Manchester music scene with the Happy Mondays?
Bez - more formally known as Mark Berry - will be fighting on an anti-fracking ticket in the seat being vacated by Labour's Hazel Blears, who has represented the area since 1997.
Political punditry can often be a mug's game but let's take a look at some of the other key battles across the region.
Labour is very confident of taking Manchester Withington back from the Liberal Democrats. John Leech may have voted against his government on the Bedroom Tax/ Spare Room Subsidy issue, but his party's U-turn on university tuition fees may not play so well in a constituency packed with students.
The Lib Dems could also be at risk in their more established seats of Hazel Grove and Cheadle, but their support is much more established in those seats.
Elsewhere, the Tories are after Bolton West - where Labour's Julie Hilling has a majority of just 92 - while Labour fancy their chances of regaining Bury North.
Conservative David Nuttall swept in there last time after the expenses scandal which ultimately saw the jailing of Labour incumbent David Chaytor.
During the next six weeks, BBC North West Online and BBC Radio Manchester will be giving you all the information you need to make an informed choice about the parties and their positions.
Three big events during the campaign will be one-hour live debates on Thursday evenings from mid-April, in Withington, Heywood and Bolton.
The economy, immigration, and health - chosen as a result of audience research - will be the main themes.
Will the parties' manifestos come alive or quickly unravel?
Will there be any "Gillian Duffy" moments when the party leaders visit our area?
Nobody yet knows but it will be fascinating to watch it all unfold.
And to return to the Greater Manchester run - It's a 10k grind rather than a sprint - something we should all remember as this first week of the campaign begins to pick up pace.
You can follow my updates on Twitter and listen to my reports on BBC Radio Manchester throughout the campaign. | It's always just after the clocks go forward that the streets around here fill up with two things - people in garish clothes training for the Great Manchester run, and political candidates chasing your vote. | 32115934 | [

"I know that the presidential campaign is developing actively in France," the Russian president said, adding: "Of course, we do not want to influence events in any way."
The Russian president appeared to be suppressing a grin as he spoke those words. Marine Le Pen appeared unperturbed.
She repeated her support for Moscow's annexation of Crimea, and her opposition to the sanctions subsequently imposed by the EU. If elected to the Elysee Palace, she pledged: "I would envisage lifting the sanctions quite quickly."
So the meeting was a win for both. Madame Le Pen looked like a world-leader-in-waiting; Mr Putin received assurances from a woman who might become president of France, and who, like him, opposes the EU and Nato.
But there is more to the relationship between Mr Putin and Ms Le Pen than ideological convergence. Because of the National Front's racist and anti-Semitic past, French banks have declined to lend the party money.
So Marine Le Pen has been forced to look elsewhere for financing.
In 2014, the National Front took Russian loans worth €11m (£9.4m). One of the loans, for €9m, came from a small bank, First Czech Russian Bank, with links to the Kremlin.
The loan was brokered by Jean-Luc Schaffhauser, an energy consultant turned MEP, who has called himself "Mr Mission Impossible".
When I met him in Strasbourg, he told me he initially secured an agreement with a financial institution in Abu Dhabi, but the deal fell through. He even approached a potential lender in Iran, but Marine Le Pen vetoed the idea, he said. Eventually, he went to Russia.
The negotiations over the loan coincided with Russia's annexation of Crimea. EU governments condemned the annexation. Marine Le Pen publicly took the opposite view, leading some to question whether the loans were a quid-pro-quo.
Mr Schaffhauser denied he and Ms Le Pen ever discussed the issue of Crimea in relation to the loan.
"Always Marine Le Pen, and Jean-Marie before, was for co-operation with Russia," he said. "It was not a political loan. It was a commercial loan."
But Russia did want to use Ms Le Pen to legitimise its actions in Crimea. We know this because a group of Russian hackers, known as Shaltai Boltai, or Humpty Dumpty, published a series of text messages said to be between a Kremlin official and a Russian MP.
The exchanges, which took place in mid-March 2014, shows the pair discussing the possibility of Marine Le Pen travelling to Crimea as an observer in the referendum which would lead to Crimea's annexation.
"We really need this, I told my boss you were in contact with her," the Kremlin official says.
Marine Le Pen didn't go to Crimea. Instead she publicly backed the results of the referendum, a fact that delighted the Kremlin official and the MP.
"She didn't let us down," says one text, followed by a smiley-face.
"We must find some way of demonstrating our respect to the French," comes the reply.
Some believe the €9m loan, which was made later that year, was indeed a reward for Ms Le Pen's support over Crimea.
"For me, there is no doubt that [the loan] was authorised by Kremlin," said Mikhail Kasyanov, who was prime minister under Vladimir Putin before he joined the opposition.
"[It was] a special operation, a special recommendation of those businesspeople, to help Marine Le Pen."
Long read: The story of Marine Le Pen
Is Russia really interfering in European states?
France's election: Who are the candidates?
The Kremlin told me it had nothing to do with the loans, and that Mr Putin and Marine Le Pen had never met before the visit to Moscow in March 2017. Marine Le Pen echoed that.
But I heard something different, and from a pretty good source.
In February, I met Marine's father, Jean-Marie Le Pen, founder of the National Front, at his mansion on the outskirts of Paris. On his desk, he showed me a glossy calendar depicting Vladimir Putin in various military poses.
"I see, that's your friend," I joked.
"He's not my friend," he said, "I've never met him. But he's met Marine."
Mr Le Pen was unclear about the exact details of the meeting. But this conversation took place before the public meeting in the Kremlin in March.
Jean-Marie Le Pen and his daughter are not on good terms. She expelled him from the National Front in 2015 in an attempt to distance herself from his racist, anti-Semitic reputation.
But other people close to Marine Le Pen also told me that she had claimed to have met Mr Putin previously. Somebody is lying. But who? And why?
When I asked Jean-Luc Schaffhauser about the earlier meeting he said simply:
"This is a secret. There are little secrets, and this secret."
Marine Le Pen maintains she has never been influenced by Russian money. But last week it was revealed the National Front had applied for another Russian loan in 2016.
Amid fears over Russian interference in elections from Europe to the United States, the mystery of her relationship with Vladimir Putin casts a shadow over her campaign.

Clubs are required to provide accurate details of training sessions and player whereabouts so they are available for testing at all times.
City failed to ensure their information was accurate on three occasions.
It is understood the information was not updated following a change to training routines.
The punishment was imposed following an independent regulatory commission hearing, with the club also warned about future conduct. | Manchester City have been fined £35,000 after admitting a breach of the Football Association's anti-doping rules, the governing body has said. | 38997847 | [

The Greens pledged to end "period poverty" by providing towels and tampons to secondary school pupils and women in financial need.
A 5% tax on sanitary products has caused controversy and 320,000 people have signed a petition to abolish it.
The pledge may be funded by a tax on airship sales and aircraft repairs.
Sanitary products are not exempt from VAT, as some medical products are. Campaigns to end the tax on them have taken place in countries across the globe.
In the UK, a further row broke out in April when it was revealed some of the money raised from the tax and promised by the government to women's charities had been given to an anti-abortion group.
Of the £12m given to 70 UK charities, £250,000 had gone to Life.
Green MEP Molly Scott Cato, who has pressed in the European Parliament for a VAT exemption on tampons, towels and mooncups, said it was an "outrage those on low incomes are forced to use socks or newspapers during their period because they can't afford a sanitary product".
Children in secondary school from low-income backgrounds were routinely missing days at school, she said.
The Green Party said it wanted to work with health companies to provide the free products.
It will look at funding them by taxing other products and services such as air craft repairs and maintenance and airship sales. | Free sanitary products for those who cannot afford them have been promised by the Green Party of England and Wales. | 39943496 | [

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has stripped the three of their gold medals, won in Beijing in 2008.
They were among eight athletes sanctioned for doping - the latest to be caught under a retesting programme.
The International Weightlifting Federation (IWF) last year ruled any nations with three or more positive tests would be banned for a year.
The IOC is retesting hundreds of samples from the 2008 and 2012 Olympic Games, using new techniques to uncover cheating that went undetected at the time.
Cao Lei, 33, took gold in the women's 75kg weightlifting event at Beijing, Chen Xiexia, 34, won the women's 48kg and Liu Chunhong, 31, was successful in the women's 69kg. All will now have to return their medals.
The failed retests were uncovered last year but the sanctions - announced by the IOC on Thursday - will clear the way for the IWF to act.
The IWF issued new measures before last year's Rio Olympics to crack down on doping in the sport.
Its executive board decided "national federations confirmed to have produced three or more anti-doping rule violations in the combined re-analysis process of the 2008 and 2012 Olympic Games shall be suspended for one year".
Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Russia and Belarus have already been banned by the IWF.
The other five athletes to be sanctioned by the IOC are:

Marie Logie's body was found in her first-floor flat in Green Gates, Leven, at 20:00 on Tuesday. She had last been seen alive at 08:00 that day.
Mrs Logie had sustained head injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene by the Scottish Ambulance Service.
Her family paid tribute to the "beloved mother, grandmother and friend".
They said Mrs Logie would be sadly missed, adding that she was "born, bred and lived in the Leven area all her life".
"The family are assisting the police in the investigation and wish to be left alone at this difficult time," they added.
Detectives said there were no signs of a break in and so far no clear motive but they said Mrs Logie was murdered in "a brutal" way.
Mrs Logie was said to be independent, capable and was an active member of the local church.
She had spent the festive period with one of her sons in England, returning home in the new year.
Police said Mrs Logie's neighbour had spoken to her in the morning. She told the neighbour she was going to the shops and then to the hospital to visit a friend.
When the neighbour did not hear from Mrs Logie again he went to investigate and found her dead in her home.
Det Ch Insp Keith Hardie, of Police Scotland, said: "She had a brutal head injury.
"An 82-year-old woman in the safety of her own home being subjected to such a brutal attack is horrendous."
"Whoever has been responsible for causing Mary's death has preyed on a vulnerable and elderly member of the community and we are pursuing various lines of inquiry as part of this ongoing investigation.
"I would ask that anyone who remembers seeing anything suspicious in the Green Gates area in the days and hours before Mary was found contacts police immediately.
"In addition, anyone with any other information that can help us find Mary's killer should also get in touch."
Mrs Logan's local Church of Scotland minister said the whole community had been "shocked" and "stunned" by the murder.
The Rev Gilbert Nisbet, of Leven Parish Church, said: "Mary was part of the church community and very much involved in the life of the church.
"I have been the minister here for nine years and she came virtually every Sunday and I would chat to her at the door.
"Mary was friendly and outgoing, a kind lady who was bright and interesting to talk to. People are absolutely stunned." | An 82-year-old woman found murdered in her Fife home was the victim of a "brutal and horrendous attack", police have said. | 35253175 | [

The giant striker was in the right place at the right time to bundle home the loose ball, after Morecambe's defence failed to clear, earning what could be an important draw.
They dropped to 11th, but remain just a point behind Blackpool in the final play-off spot and within two points of sixth-placed Carlisle.
Gareth Ainsworth's side had fallen behind eight minutes earlier when Morecambe veteran Kevin Ellison scored a superb opener.
Ellison received the ball with his back to goal on the edge of the area but turned quickly and curled a delightful effort past Jamal Blackman from the edge of the box.
The first half saw no goals, but plenty of endeavour from both sides.
Blackman was the busier of the two keepers making three excellent saves from three different players.
His best was a flying effort to tip away Michael Rose's 30-yard drive which was heading for the top right-hand corner of the Wycombe goal
The on-loan Chelsea goalkeeper then did well to tip over Paul Mullin's drive and a low volley from Ellison that was destined for the bottom left-hand corner.

The unrest erupted after a policeman allegedly killed the man and wounded two others during an argument over the price of a cup of tea.
The policeman has been arrested and the case referred to prosecutors.
Video footage showed angry protesters overturning a police vehicle while chanting "the police are thugs".
Egypt has seen a series of allegations of police brutality in recent months, stoking public anger.
The interior ministry said that Tuesday's incident in the eastern suburb of Rehab began with an argument over the price of a cup of tea between several policeman and a street vendor.
One policeman opened fire, killing the vendor and wounding two passersby, it added.
Photographs showed what appeared to be a man lying still on the floor, covered in blood, surrounded by angry onlookers.
Witnesses said the protest began shortly after the incident.
"Security forces brought in two riot police vehicles and an armoured truck and the victim's family is here and pelting them with rocks," one witness told the Reuters news agency.
"Security forces are retreating and promising justice but the crowd is demanding police hand over the killer."
In February, there was a protest outside the Cairo security directorate after a policeman reportedly shot dead a driver in a street in an argument over a fare.
There were also riots in Ismailia and the southern city of Luxor after at least three people died in police custody in a single week in November.
The government has also been forced to repeatedly deny allegations that security services were responsible for the killing of Italian academic Giulio Regeni in Cairo earlier this year.
Officials have blamed a criminal gang for his abduction and torture. | Hundreds of people have taken to the streets of Egypt's capital, Cairo, to protest after a tea vendor was allegedly shot dead by police. | 36084846 | [

Katie Milby, 13, has Morquio A, a degenerative syndrome which affects about 105 people in the UK.
It leads to the progressive deterioration of mobility, health and stamina.
Her friend Kyle Pirrie has started a petition seeking to see the medicine Vimizim made available on the NHS.
There is no known cure to Morquio syndrome but the drug improves the life of people with the condition.
It replaces a missing enzyme which allows children to continue to grow, as well as improving stamina and the ability to walk. It also relieves pain.
The drug's manufacturers have been providing the treatment to patients at their own expense but they are going to withdraw it unless the NHS in England and Scotland commit to funding it.
The Stranraer Academy student said her life would be markedly different without the drug.
"I wouldn't be able to move I'd just be in so much pain," she said.
"And I probably wouldn't be able to go to school."
It was that situation which prompted her friend to launch the petition which now has nearly 2,000 signatures.
"As a friend I suppose I felt kind of bad that she was going to be denied this because I know she has got a great outlook on life," Kyle explained.
"She's funny, she's friendly and I would hate to see her in pain all the time."
Galloway and West Dumfries MSP Alex Fergusson has also backed the petition.
"This is not a cheap medication but, as Katie herself asked me, how do you put a value on a human life?" he asked.
"There are only just over a hundred sufferers throughout the UK, with just five in Scotland, and those who have had treatment with Vimizim report a massive reduction in pain and the other symptoms of this syndrome.
"Life expectancy, which rarely exceeds the mid 20s without treatment, can be considerably extended with this treatment, and it is enormously to the credit of Katie and her friends that they have raised this petition to try to ensure that the treatment is available to all."
The Scottish Medicines Consortium said the drug was currently going through its assessment process.
It added that a decision on the medicine was expected to be published in early September. | A Stranraer Academy student has set up a petition to ensure a life-enhancing drug is made available to a fellow pupil with an extremely rare disease. | 32886647 | [

Voyage of Time, Nocturnal Animals and Les Beaux Jours d'Aranjuez will vie with 17 others for the Golden Lion.
Also included as official selections are Pablo Larrain's Kennedy biopic, Jackie, and Ana Lily Amirpour's cannibal love story, The Bad Batch.
The event opens with Damien Chazelle's musical La La Land on 31 August.
Malick's Voyage Of Time, which he has worked on for over three decades, is an exploration of life on Earth narrated across two edits by Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett.
Wenders has previously won the Golden Lion for his 1982 film The State of Things and headed the festival's jury in 2008.
Both his film and Ford's Nocturnal Animals are screen adaptations of written works - the former based on Peter Handke's play Die schönen Tage von Aranjuez and the latter being based on Austin Wright's novel Tony and Susan.
Also included in the official selections are Sicario director Daniel Villeneuve's sci-fi drama Arrival; Derek Gianfrance's story of a lighthouse keeper, The Light Between Oceans; and films from directing duos Massimo d'Anolfi and Martina Parenti and Mariano Cohn and Gaston Duprat.
British director Sam Mendes will head the jury at this year's festival.
Away from the Golden Lion competition, the festival will also debut Nick Hamm's film about the unlikely friendship between the Reverend Ian Paisley and Martin McGuinness, The Journey, and Mel Gibson's Hacksaw Ridge, which tells the story of a World War Two conscientious objector.
The 73rd Venice International Film Festival will close on 10 September with a showing of Antoine Fuqua's remake of The Magnificent Seven.

The report, carried out by charity Relate and based on a survey of 20,980 people in relationships from 2013-15, suggested 2.87 million people were in "distressed" relationships.
Dr David Marjoribanks, from Relate, said constant bickering could have a "far-reaching" impact on children.
On average they did worse in school and could even fall into crime, he said.
"It is not just the actual breakdown of the relationship itself, it's specifically the conflict that surrounds that," Dr Marjoribanks said.
"It means that when relationships end, it is not deemed to inevitably harm children, far from it.
"It is the conflict in intact relationships that can be just as damaging, as when relationships end," he added.
"Children who grow up with parents who have highly-conflicted relationships are much more likely to have mental and physical health problems, to not do as well at school and end up in antisocial behaviour and criminality even."
It may have seemed a small thing but Sophie*, 28, knew her marriage was over when she came home from work to have lunch with her out-of-work husband and he expected her to make it.
Things had not been right for some time. There had been arguments about money, jobs and housework shortly after the wedding, often in front of their young son. But soon communication shut down almost entirely as both felt the arguments were always the same and nothing would ever change.
Days would go by with neither of them talking to each other.
They tried counselling but it came at a cost and they found themselves forced to choose between a counselling session or buying food for the week.
In January last year, after three years of marriage, Sophie told her husband, 41, it was over.
"As soon as we separated I immediately felt lighter. I did not have to do all this stuff for someone who did not do anything," she said.
Both are now in new relationships, and Sophie, who lives in West Yorkshire, says she now tries to make time to talk about things as soon as they come up and to be more open about money.
*Not her real name
Researchers looked at data from the Understanding Society survey of 20,980 people which asked people how often they argued, how frequently they considered divorce and regretted the relationship, and the extent of their unhappiness.
They said their findings suggested 2.87 million people, which equates to 18% of married or cohabiting couples, were living in "distressed" relationships, where the strains were deemed to be "clinically significant" by counsellors.
The number of "distressed" relationships reached a high in 2011 and 2012 but have not yet returned to pre-recession levels, the data showed.
"There is a pattern of relationship strain increasing during recession years - where economic strain increases, for example low income, unemployment, a build-up of debt, the strain on the relationship increases," Dr Marjoribanks said.
The research also found:
Dr Marjoribanks said many couples suffered in silence for years and only sought help when it was too late to salvage their relationship.
Jan Artingstall from Therapy Cheshire, who is listed in the Counselling Directory, believes people today spend so much time communicating via text and social media that they have forgotten how to talk.
"People have lost the art of talking about how they feel. It's like we have gone back to being children who don't have the language to communicate feelings," she said.
A common problem among couples was mistrust built around text messages sent between work colleagues and partners spying on each other's online communications, she added.
Her advice is for couples to sit down for 10 minutes to talk about their day and take joint responsibility for the state of the relationship, rather than pointing fingers.
She also said children who saw their parents fall out and make up were learning a useful lesson but daily and embedded conflict was damaging.
"Children are very perceptive to atmosphere. It doesn't have to be a shouting match - they can pick up on stonewalling and tense body language.
"Children won't say 'Are you unhappy Mummy or Daddy?' They just accept and absorb the atmosphere and feel unhappy inside."
There were 114,720 divorces in England and Wales in 2013, down 3% on 2012, the most recent figures available from the Office of National Statistics show. The number of divorces was highest among men and women aged between 40 and 44.
In Scotland, 9,030 divorces were granted in 2014-15, 6% fewer than in the previous 12 months, Scottish government figures show. Northern Ireland saw a slight rise in divorce rates from 2,403 in 2013 to 2,455 in 2014, according to the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency.
Chris Sherwood, chief executive at Relate, said the report's findings were "hugely concerning", adding that "families can't go on like this".
The charity was launching its first national appeal, Breaking Point, calling for donations to help make its services available to everyone, not just those who could afford them, he added. | Almost one in five (18%) couples in the UK argue regularly or consider separating, a study suggests. | 36373299 | [

Mobile operators, Culture Secretary Maria Miller and communications regulator Ofcom will discuss bringing forward the allocation of spectrum to allow faster mobile download speeds.
Ofcom has told the government that the process could be accelerated to launch 4G networks in many places by May or June.
It had been thought that it would take until the end of the year.
Ahead of the meeting O2 said that it was hopeful that it could launch 4G services in summer 2013.
Ronan Dunne, chief executive of O2, said, "It's been a very good process and it feels that we've made a lot of progress, so I'm hopeful that we'll have a basis for moving forward."
But he went on to express disappointment that Ofcom had not acted earlier: "We're pleased that we've made progress but frustrated that it's taken so long".
An Ofcom spokesman responded: "To suggest that the delay has been caused by anything other than litigation - and the threat of litigation - on behalf of competing companies is inaccurate."
Previously O2 and Vodafone had expressed anger that rival network EE - formerly known as Everything Everywhere - had been given permission to use its existing 1,800MHz spectrum to launch a 4G service earlier.
O2 had threatened legal action to prevent EE gaining this advantage.
A deal could pave the way for EE to announce its 4G launch date, which could be before the end of this month.
O2 and Vodafone will not be able to offer 4G until other parts of the radio spectrum - including those previously used for analogue television and air traffic control - are freed up and sold off.
The UK's fourth biggest network - Three - is set to take over part of EE's 4G spectrum, but is not due to do so until September 2013.
Ofcom has said it could bring forward its airwave auction by about a fortnight from its current January date, and then speed up handover of control of the frequencies.
That could help shrink EE's period of exclusivity to roughly half a year. However, if the networks decide to pursue a legal challenge the process would be delayed.
"Ofcom made quite a clever move by allowing EE to launch early," said Matthew Howett, a telecoms analyst with Ovum. "Because it's now really set the wheels in motion, and will see the others pull their fingers out."
A source at one major network told the BBC that it was also seeking a guarantee from EE that it would not hinder the operation of Mitco, an organisation that has been set up to deal with the possible interference 4G may have on other signals such as digital television.
Mitco will eventually be run jointly by the mobile operators and will be tasked with overseeing the distribution of filters and other equipment to prevent disruption - a scheme which is expected to cost in the region of £180m.
EE gave details of its 4G plans in a lavish press event last month, and said it would offer 4G in 16 UK cities by the end of the year. However, it declined to give a firm date on when the service would be open for use by the public.
That delay was in part caused by the fierce negotiations between Ofcom and the other networks.
The networks felt aggrieved that EE had been handed a considerable headstart in the 4G race, while the other operators would have to wait until the outcome of an auction before they can try and catch up lost ground.
Apple's latest iPhone, which launched the day after EE's 4G event, is available on all the major networks - but only EE is able to offer customers 4G speeds on the handset.
Ofcom has defended its decision, saying that to delay EE from launching 4G would have been "to the detriment of consumers".
In contrast, O2 said they were "hugely disappointed" with the decision, while Vodafone said: "The regulator has shown a careless disregard for the best interests of consumers, businesses and the wider economy."
Ovum's Mr Howett said while EE may appear to have been given the early upper hand, it still has a tricky marketing task ahead if it is to capitalise.
"I think it is about two things," he told the BBC. "One is about what the pricing of 4G is going to be. EE would be be pretty mad to price people out of it, so I suspect it'll be quite competitive.
"The second thing is the iPhone 5 impact. For me and a lot of other people the iPhone 5 was very much an incremental upgrade. If people are in the market for a new phone, and people who were on a two-year contract are looking to upgrade, EE will say 'come to us'." | A meeting about the UK's roll-out of 4G network services takes place later. | 19786041 | [

Rafa Benitez's ill-fated reign had left Los Blancos trailing both Atletico Madrid and Barcelona in La Liga, with points dropped in four of their previous eight games and memories still fresh of a humiliating 4-0 home thrashing by Barca.
Now, less than nine months later, not only are Zidane's Real the European champions, they are also on the verge of breaking La Liga's all-time record for consecutive victories.
Sunday's 2-0 triumph at Espanyol was the 16th straight victory for Zidane's men, who ended last season just one point behind champions Barca after winning their final 12 games. This season they have established early control of top spot with maximum points from four games.
That winning streak is a Real record and also equals the best winning sequence in Spain's top flight, achieved by Pep Guardiola's all-conquering Barca in 2010-11.
And they have the chance to beat that on Wednesday with victory over Villarreal at the Bernabeu.
So, how has Zidane done it? Not in the way you might have expected.
Saturday, 27 February 2016 was a major turning point in 44-year-old Zidane's early managerial career.
Real lost their derby at home to Atletico 1-0, jeered off by dissatisfied fans who felt the team had failed to progress since Benitez's exit.
Until then, Zidane had shoe-horned as many attacking players into his line-ups as possible in an attempt to fulfil his pledge to deliver the kind of exciting, free-flowing football associated with his playing days.
It wasn't working. The forwards were getting in each other's way and the lack of defensive instincts in midfield was making the team vulnerable, brutally exposed by the way Atletico strolled unchallenged through the centre of the pitch for Antoine Griezmann's match-winner.
Zidane knew something had to change - and that something was the introduction of defensive midfielder Casemiro, the low-profile Brazilian who had previously only played 23 minutes under his management.
Casemiro, 24, moved to the Bernabeu from Sao Paulo in February 2013, making his debut under Jose Mourinho in a 3-1 home win over Real Betis two months later.
But Carlo Ancelotti sent him on loan to Porto for the season in the summer of 2014, then he was largely left on the bench by Benitez and initially by Zidane, with both managers compromised by the pressure to field more flamboyant, attacking talents.
However, derby defeat forced Zidane to rethink, and Casemiro rapidly became indispensable, with his powerful physique, tackling ability and positional discipline giving the team a previously lacking defensive presence in midfield.
Real began their winning streak with a 3-1 triumph at Levante, and were five victories into it when the game that would prove to be their turning point arrived: the Clasico at Barcelona on 2 April.
Barca were paying tribute to club legend Johan Cruyff, who had died a week earlier, and they had every intention of marking his memory with another crushing victory over their biggest rivals.
Instead, it proved to be a prototype performance from Zidane's new-look team, who were undeterred by falling behind to Gerard Pique's header and bounced back to win with goals from Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo.
There was little flair in Real's victory, but the players obeyed Zidane's command - delivered in the wake of the defeat by Atletico - to "run more".
Notably, the French coach delivered the same message in the build-up to the Champions League final against their city rivals in May, urging: "What we have to do is run, run, run and run."
Forget spectacular, attacking football inspired by megastar Galacticos, Zidane was turning his team into a bunch of grafters committed to their defensive duties and increasingly confident in their ability to grind out wins even when not playing well.
Seven of Real's past 19 victories have been secured by goals in the last 10 minutes - most recently the Champions League triumph over Sporting Lisbon which prompted Marca to hail them as "Comeback FC" and state Zidane has "recovered the virtue of never giving up".
Although his strongest XI more or less picks itself, Zidane is committed to a policy of squad rotation, regularly emphasising the importance of a group mentality and insisting every player is important.
Every manager says similar things but Zidane's talk is not just empty rhetoric, with his commitment to rotation backed up by statistics.
He has fielded 21 players in Real's four league games this season - and only goalkeeper Kiko Casilla (deputising for Keylor Navas) and Sergio Ramos have started all four.
Furthermore, Zidane has selected five different forward lines in his team's six competitive games, and their 12 league goals have been scored by 11 different players. You can't get much more 'group mentality' than that.
Spain's most famously pro-Real journalist, Tomas Roncero from newspaper AS, this week saluted Zidane by writing: "Zidane leads a squad of 24 players, not 11.
"This squad doesn't just have a plan B, but also a plan C and plan D. I've never seen a Madrid so complete, versatile, and reliable."
That tribute is also, naturally, an unspoken dig at Barcelona, who are routinely accused of being too reliant upon their Messi-Suarez-Neymar forward line and, when the second-stringers started at home to Alaves 10 days ago, lost 2-1.
Not many managers could leave out a player for months, recall him to the starting line-up, see him score a record-breaking goal and then hear that player declare the manager "will always be my idol".
But Zidane was given that endorsement by James Rodriguez after the Colombia international, making his first start of the season, rifled home the opener in Real's hard-earned 2-0 victory at Espanyol on Sunday.
And it's clear that Zidane, a 1998 World Cup winner with France who became a Real legend with a brilliant volley in the 2002 Champions League final victory over Bayer Leverkusen, is benefitting from the credibility provided by his stellar playing career.
Zidane commands automatic respect - and his aura makes it easier for him to retain good relationships with players he leaves out of the team.
So, too, does his constant reassertion of the team ethic and his commitment to squad rotation - it's much easier for dropped players to stay motivated when they know they have a genuine chance of starting next week.
Considering his penchant for petulance during his playing days, it is perhaps surprising that another quality which has helped Zidane manage Real's egos is his calm and composed personality.
Whether on the sidelines, in front of the media or at the training ground, Zidane looks relaxed and always ready to smile, even maintaining his good-humoured patience when asked, as he has been countless times this summer, whether he was intending to sell James.
If you ask Barcelona fans whether Zidane is a great manager, they will scoff and say he is a lucky manager.
When asked on social media for his hopes from the Champions League, Barca star Pique ironically replied he would like the kind of campaign enjoyed by Real last season.
"Easy group. Third-placed team in Italy in the last 16 [Roma], eighth in Germany in the quarters [Wolfsburg], fourth in England in the semis [Man City]. Return leg always at home," Pique tweeted.
And it's true that Real - with all those late winners - have enjoyed some fortune during their record-breaking run, most recently when Sergio Ramos avoided a second yellow card for handball at Espanyol on Sunday by successfully pretending the ball hit his face.
Although the "lucky" argument only takes you so far, it's certainly too soon to proclaim Zidane as an unqualified coaching triumph. The season is young and it's never wise to bank on too much stability in the soap opera that is Real Madrid.
Nevertheless, a Champions League title and 16 straight league wins cannot be discounted lightly - and victory over Villarreal would be another step forward in Zidane's coaching career, which is so far threatening to be every bit as successful as his playing career. | When Zinedine Zidane was appointed Real Madrid manager in January, the Spanish giants were in disarray. | 37420223 | [

The PM attended a summit of EU leaders in Brussels before leaving while they discussed their approach to Brexit.
The remaining 27 agreed that the European Commission will take the lead role in negotiations.
Meanwhile Chancellor Philip Hammond has played down suggestions it could take ten years to reach a trade deal.
He told the BBC: "I don't expect that it will take as long as that," following reports that Britain's ambassador to the EU, Sir Ivan Rogers, suggested that others in Europe believed this could be the case.
The prime minister was in Brussels on Thursday for a European Council meeting. She left the summit without answering any questions on Brexit but Irish PM Enda Kenny told reporters that she had given an update on the Supreme Court case the UK government is involved with on whether it can act alone in triggering Article 50 - the formal start of Brexit.
He added: "She would like to have the question of UK citizens living in Europe and European citizens living in the UK dealt with in the early part of discussions that take place."
A Downing St spokesman confirmed on Friday that the prime minister had raised the issue and been clear she would like to see the issue resolved as soon as possible.
He said: "We have been very clear we want to extend those rights to EU citizens here, as long as there are reciprocal arrangements for British citizens across the EU."
The question of what will happen to the estimated 2.9 million citizens of other EU countries who have made their home in the UK in recent years is one of the most controversial arising from the UK's vote to leave the EU in June's referendum.
The government has said it expects an early resolution of the issue once official talks on the terms of the UK's separation from the EU begin, something it plans to happen by next spring.
But it has not given any guarantees on their future status - saying this is impossible without similar safeguards for the estimated 1.2 million Britons living in Spain, France, Italy and other EU countries.
Mr Kenny also told reporters that the Irish Republic would not sign a bilateral trade deal with the UK and the UK had to agree its future relationship with the EU first.
Pictures from the summit which circulated on social media appeared to show Mrs May looking as though she had no one to talk to. However the BBC's Europe editor Katya Adler said other clips showed her chatting to EU leaders while German MP Stephan Mayer said reports of the PM being frozen out were "misleading".
Mr Mayer, who is home affairs spokesperson for the German Chancellor Angela Merkel, also told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that it was "reasonable" for the 27 EU leaders to meet without Mrs May, following the formal summit, to discuss their approach to Brexit.
The 27 agreed that European Commission official Michel Barnier will lead talks for the EU - although MEPs are said to want a greater say.
European Council president Donald Tusk said the "short, informal meeting" had "reconfirmed our principles, meaning the indivisibility of the four freedoms, the balance of rights and obligations and the rule 'no negotiations without notification'".
European Parliament president Martin Schulz has warned that negotiations could be vetoed if MEPs are not fully involved.
Downing Street meanwhile has indicated that it would be possible to complete a "divorce deal" and a new trade agreement with the EU within the timetabled two years of the UK invoking Article 50 - the formal start of the process of leaving.
But Germany's Mr Mayer said that it would be "a bit naive" to think a trade deal could be done in two years.
"It's very ambitious to finish these negotiations within two years, it's a huge project."
Chancellor Philip Hammond told the BBC the UK would negotiate a Brexit deal and, once that has started, would "in parallel" begin to negotiate new trade arrangements with the EU.
Meanwhile, reports suggest that Britain could face a £50bn bill to leave the EU, including payments to cover pension liabilities for EU staff.
Downing Street said the UK would meet its obligations while in the EU, but any financial settlement after that would be a matter for negotiation.
At the summit, the leaders also discussed Syria, controlling mass migration into Europe, the EU's relationship with Ukraine, co-operation with Nato and economic matters. | Theresa May has told EU leaders that she wants an early deal in Brexit negotiations on the status of Britons in Europe and EU citizens in the UK . | 38336977 | [

Stuart Coffey, 44, transferred cash from Bracebridge Heath Medical Practice into his own account between 2008 and 2013.
Lincoln Crown Court heard he stole so much money the surgery fell into rent arrears of £37,000.
Coffey, of Bede Close, Quarrington, pleaded guilty to one count of fraud.
The fraud was discovered when Coffey left the practice and staff discovered the rent had not been paid and other invoices were outstanding.
Prosecutor Jonathon Dee said a review of accounts found "pretty much consistently over five years the defendant had been stealing from the practice".
The judge, Recorder Stuart Sprawson, said: "This was deliberate. It was clearly planned."
Coffey's barrister, Mark Harries, said his client was "ashamed and disgusted with himself".
He said he had begun taking the money after struggling to meet mortgage payments.
Denise Bluck, the current practice manager at the surgery, said the theft had a "significant impact" on the practice but it was "working hard to deal with the impact". | A former GP practice manager who stole nearly £250,000 from the surgery he managed has been jailed for two years and eight months. | 35777239 | [

Roedd Jane Marion Lord, 76 oed, wedi ceisio stopio ei char Vauxhall Corsa coch, rhag rholio i lawr y ffordd yn ei chartref ger Castell Newydd Emlyn, Ceredigion.
Fe gredir fod Miss Lord wedi marw ar 21 Rhagfyr 2016, ond roedd wedi ei chaethiwo o dan ei char nes i gŵn ei ffrind, ddod o hyd iddi ar ôl cyfnod y Nadolig.
Daeth y crwner yn y cwest yn Aberystwyth i'r casgliad bod ei marwolaeth yn un damweiniol.
Clywodd y cwest fod Miss Lord, wedi ei gweld yn fyw am y tro diwethaf am tua 19:00 ar 21 Rhagfyr, mewn parti yn nhŷ ei ffrind, Francesca Lis Ross.
Dywedodd Miss Ross ei bod wedi dechrau poeni am Miss Lord pan aeth draw i'w thŷ ar 23 Rhagfyr, er mwyn rhoi cerdyn Nadolig iddi, ond roedd y tŷ wedi cloi ac roedd y car yn dal tu allan.
"Roddwn yn cymryd yn ganiataol ei bod wedi mynd i ffwrdd gyda ffrind oedd gyda cherbyd, felly gadewais anrheg ar lawr ger y tŷ cyn gadael," meddai Miss Ross wrth y cwest.
Dychwelodd Miss Ross gyda'i gŵr a dau gi ar 30 Rhagfyr, ar ôl ceisio galw am Miss Lord y diwrnod cynt.
Fe dorrwyd drws y tŷ i geisio dod o hyd iddi, ac fe aethant i chwilio yn yr ardd, ond fe ddaethant o hyd i gorff Miss Lord pan sylweddolodd y cŵn ei bod o dan y car.
Fe ddisgrifiodd PC Matthew Fraser, o isadran fforensig Heddlu Dyfed-Powys, sut oedd Miss Lord wedi dioddef anafiadau i'w hysgwydd a'i chlun.
Ychwanegodd fod marciau llaw ar y car yn awgrymu ei bod wedi ceisio stopio'r car rhag rholio i lawr y lôn cyn disgyn a mynd yn sownd oddi tano.
Wrth ddyfarnu ei reithfarn, dywedodd crwner Ceredigion, Peter Brunton, na fyddai Miss Lord wedi goroesi'r noson ar y 21 o Ragfyr. | Mae cwest wedi clywed sut cafodd pensiynwraig ei gwasgu i farwolaeth o dan ei char, wedi i neb fethu a dod o hyd iddi am hyd at naw niwrnod. | 39800734 | [

MOTV is a paid-for video on demand app about hunting, shooting and fishing, and was launched in the US in 2016.
It was launched this week in the UK, but immediately attracted criticism for carrying video of hunters with dead lions and other animals.
Mr Kroenke owns the company behind MOTV.
It is a small part of his huge Colorado-based sporting empire, Kroenke Sports & Entertainment, which runs TV stations including The Outdoor Channel and World Fishing Network.
The range of programmes is not available in every country, partly for reasons of ownership rights, but also in some cases because of local tastes.
Its website illustrates this, pointing out that some TV shows that are popular with members in the US may not be desirable to members in the Canada, even though they are both English-speaking regions.
The company said: "There has been significant public attention to a small portion of programming on our MyOutdoorTV app that contains content associated with hunting certain big game animals," said Jim Liberatore, the chief executive of Outdoor Sportsman Group.
"Stan Kroenke has directed us to remove all content related to those animals in light of the public interest," he said in a statement.
Hunting TV app sparks protests
The company was keen to underline that it operates independently from Arsenal Football Club.
"Arsenal Football Club has nothing to do with any of our media outlets. It has nothing to do with our content or the editorial decisions we make," the statement said.
"We deserve no credit when an Arsenal striker scores a goal. Arsenal deserves no criticism when we offer a program with which some disagree."
Leader of the Labour opposition and local MP, Jeremy Corbyn, said he was "disgusted" by the channel: "As an Arsenal fan I'm disgusted that Stan Kroenke is involved in such a brutal, unethical and unnecessary activity."
Robert Peston, ITV's political editor and one of Arsenal's best know fans, expressed his disgust about Mr Kroenke's connection to the channel.
In a tweet earlier this week he said: "I feel sick I have to pay money to this person."
Philippa King, from the League Against Cruel Sports, welcomed today's move: "Launching a TV channel which glorifies bloodsports was never going to be a good idea in a nation of animal lovers. We asked Mr Kroenke to cancel his plan to show trophy hunting and that's what he has done, so we thank him for it.
"Whether the decision was taken because his eyes were opened to the suffering of animals involved in trophy hunting, or because he realised it was a PR disaster for Arsenal football club, I don't know. Hopefully it was the former." | Stan Kroenke, the owner of Arsenal Football Club, has ordered big game hunting videos to be removed from the MyOutdoorTV (MOTV) app. | 40823583 | [

Jamie Cox was sentenced to 26 weeks for common assault after he attacked Viktoria Gribovskaja at her home in Lambeth, south London last year.
The Swindon-based WBO European super-middleweight title holder had denied assault.
His sentence was suspended at an appeal at Croydon Magistrates' Court.
The 29-year-old boxer, who appeared in court under his real name Jamie Russan was told his conviction still stands, but that his prison sentence will be suspended for 18 months.
Recorder Joseph Boothby told him he should treat the suspended sentence as "a turning point" and said: "Change your ways and think before you get angry with a girlfriend, or anyone else for that matter."
Cox had been sentenced to 26 weeks in prison for the assault and harassment charges, 20 weeks for violence to secure entry and 12 weeks for criminal damage, to run concurrently.
He is currently ranked number four in the world and is also a Commonwealth Games light welterweight champion.
After the hearing, Cox said: "I just want to get back to normal and to fight for world titles. I do not really treat today as a success." | A champion boxer who was jailed for breaking into his ex-girlfriend's flat and attacking her has had his sentence suspended. | 36231417 | [

Speaking to the Atlantic magazine, he said the operation went as well as he had hoped, but Libya was now "a mess".
The article also said he had warned the PM the UK would have to pay its "fair share" and spend 2% of GDP on defence.
In response, Number 10 said there were "many difficult challenges" in Libya, while the White House said it deeply valued the UK's contributions.
Downing Street did not comment on President Obama's remark to the PM about defence spending, reportedly made before Chancellor George Osborne said the government would fulfil a Nato pledge to spend 2% of national income on defence last year.
In response to the interview, a spokesman for the US National Security Council said Mr Cameron had been "as close a partner as the president has had" adding that "we deeply value the UK's contributions on our shared national security and foreign policy objectives".
BBC North America editor Jon Sopel said the unsolicited statement put out by the White House suggested Downing Street had reacted angrily to the article.
"It's like we've seen a curtain drawn back on the unspun thoughts of President Obama, complete with frustration as well, and what we've seen tonight is the White House trying to close the curtain as quickly as it can," he added.
The toppling of the Gaddafi regime in Libya - following UN-backed air strikes designed to protect civilians - led to a power vacuum and instability, with no authority in full control.
The intervention was led by the UK and France - and in his interview, Mr Obama reflects on "what went wrong", saying: "There's room for criticism, because I had more faith in the Europeans, given Libya's proximity, being invested in the follow-up."
Mr Cameron, he said, became "distracted by a range of other things". He also criticised former French President Nicolas Sarkozy, saying he had tried to claim the spotlight.
The former French president, he said, "wanted to trumpet the flights he was taking in the air campaign, despite the fact that we had wiped out all the air defences and essentially set up the entire infrastructure" for the intervention.
President Obama said the intervention "averted large-scale civilian casualties (and) prevented what almost surely would have been a prolonged and bloody civil conflict". But he added: "And despite all that, Libya is a mess."
He also criticised what he called "free riders" in the interview, saying European and Gulf countries were calling for action against Gaddafi, adding: "But what has been a habit over the last several decades in these circumstances is people pushing us to act but then showing an unwillingness to put any skin in the game."
Despite efforts to support Libya's National Transitional Council, and the first elections in the country for decades, it rapidly descended into violence, with two rival governments and the formation of hundreds of militias, some allied to so-called Islamic State.
In January, Mr Cameron told MPs the "Libyan people were given the opportunity" to build a stable democracy - and it was a matter of "huge regret" they had not taken it.
He stressed that - unlike in Iraq - the post-conflict planning was locally driven.
"Gaddafi was bearing down on people in Benghazi and threatening to shoot his own people like rats," he said. "An international coalition came together to protect those people and to help the Libyan people, who then got rid of Gaddafi.
"And they had an opportunity to build what they said they wanted."
Responding to President Obama's interview, Downing Street said "coming to the aid of innocent civilians who were being tortured and killed by their leader was the right thing to do".
The government has tried to support stability in Libya and is "working hard to support the UN-led process to establish a stable and inclusive government that will allow them to build a peaceful future", a spokesman said.
"But ultimately a positive outcome for Libya is not just up to the international community - this process needs to be led by the Libyan people," he added.
The US National Security Council spokesman added: "With respect to Libya, the president has long said that all of us - including the United States - could have done more in the aftermath of the Libyan intervention."
He said the UK had "stepped up on a range of issues" including meeting the 2% commitment and pressing other Nato members to do the same.
Former Conservative Foreign Secretary Sir Malcolm Rifkind said it was "a bit rich" for the US president to single out the UK and France, as they had carried out more air operations in the Libya campaign than any other country.

Whether or not he is on the formal menu, Mr Snowden will certainly colour their conversation and the press conference that follows.
Ms Merkel's trip to the US is markedly different in tone and substance from her last visit to Washington in June 2011.
Back then, there was a state dinner during which Mr Obama presented her the Medal of Freedom.
He talked of a productive partnership with Ms Merkel, one of the few world leaders with whom he has established a warm connection. She referred to him more than once as "dear Barack".
This week's meeting is much shorter and will be all business.
Three years ago, the leaders spent considerable time talking about the Arab Spring in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Syria, and G8 efforts to support those democratic transitions.
They reiterated the desire to achieve negotiated settlements to the vexing challenges of the Iranian nuclear programme. They discussed the pending change in military strategy in Afghanistan and the need to overcome trade barriers and accelerate economic growth.
Three years later, the policy outlook is vastly different, although thankfully not all bad.
For example, not only are negotiations with Iran under way, there is a decent chance they will be successful. The war in Afghanistan is winding down.
The Afghan presidential election is going surprisingly well. Whoever replaces President Hamid Karzai is likely to agree to a follow-on Nato mission there.
The most urgent regional transformation is not the Middle East, where an Arab Spring has, with the exception of Tunisia, become a humanitarian nightmare, but Ukraine, where Russian President Vladimir Putin has already overseen the redrawing of the European map and may be agitating for more.
There is no longer a G8, but a G7, trying to co-ordinate sanctions that impose costs on Mr Putin while minimising the impact on the European economy, not as easy a task as some suggest.
The costs to Mr Putin are increasing, even if the ramp is not as steep as pundits and even some government officials on this side of the Atlantic would prefer.
This week the US imposed a new round of sanctions on Russia's high tech sector and the EU quickly followed suit.
Such co-ordination is important since the lift over time will be much heavier in Europe. Its level of integration with Russia exceeds that of the US.
Mr Obama is right to be patient while maintaining firm pressure on Europe to move beyond its comfort zone.
Ms Merkel is not only crucial to meaningful European action, she is the only Western leader with real potential to influence Mr Putin. The Obama-Putin relationship has hit a brick wall.
She arrives in Washington undoubtedly stung that a German-led European monitoring team is being held by separatists in Sloviansk, Ukraine.
She has every right to expect Russia to use its influence to gain their release. The fact they have not is a clear indication of its intent to further escalate the crisis.
While in Washington, Ms Merkel will also meet the head of the International Monetary Fund, Christine Lagarde. As much as the crisis is about getting Mr Putin to stand down, it is about the need for Kiev to stand up, and for the West to redeem Ukraine's decision to integrate with the West.
A vital step in resolving the crisis is enabling Ukraine to conduct a free, fair and legitimate election on 25 May. This is the object of Mr Putin's agitation, to manipulate conditions in ways that favour Russia's interests and undermine Kiev's.
The West needs a comparable game plan to help Ukraine stand up a new government that Russia is unable to discredit.
The meeting should touch on the long-term strategic implications of the crisis. The US has done an effective job of reassuring Nato allies regarding their mutual security interests. The presence of Nato forces in Poland and the Baltic states is a welcome manifestation of that commitment.
Mr Obama and Ms Merkel will discuss the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, which faces headwinds in both Europe and the US. It would be useful to make energy a centrepiece of these trade negotiations.
Several European countries, including Germany, rely heavily on Russian energy, which gives Mr Putin important leverage in the current crisis.
As US Secretary of State John Kerry told an Atlantic Council conference this week, the US has a new energy card in its policy arsenal. The Ukraine crisis presents a perfect opportunity to diversify Europe's energy sources over the next decade.
While Russia and Ukraine will dominate the discussion, Ms Merkel cannot afford to ignore the Snowden issue and neither should Mr Obama.
This is the first formal meeting between the two leaders since revelations that the US National Security Agency was monitoring her mobile phone. Americans should not underestimate the impact that the issue has had in Europe.
Europeans have welcomed the reforms that Mr Obama and Congress are considering. Even if the issue has receded from the headlines, Washington needs to follow through.
Ms Merkel herself has suggested it will take more than one meeting to repair the damage Edward Snowden's revelations have generated. This meeting is a necessary step in that process.
PJ Crowley is a former US assistant secretary of state and now a professor of practice and fellow at The George Washington University Institute of Public Diplomacy & Global Communication | When German Chancellor Angela Merkel sits down for lunch on Friday with US President Barack Obama, Vladimir Putin and Ukraine will be the main course, and Edward Snowden the centrepiece. | 27226000 | [

Supported by 89 from Steven Mullaney, Root hit two sixes and 10 fours in his 93-ball first List A century, as Notts recovered from 92-4 to reach 303-6.
Jonathan Trott hit 14 fours in his 104, his 21st limited-overs century.
But the holders fell short on 293-9 to lose by 10 runs, a third straight loss.
Warwickshire needed 49 from the last five overs as the pressure mounted, and after Rikki Clarke and Keith Barker both holed out, that became 16 needed off the last over, bowled by Luke Fletcher, but two run-outs sealed the hosts' fate.
Bears captain Ian Bell made 51, but he was the second of three victims for Mullaney, who crucially accounted for Trott, no sooner than the former England batsman had reached three figures - for the fourth time in his last 10 One-Day Cup innings.
After starting their defence of the trophy with an impressive 10-wicket win against Warwickshire, the Bears' third straight defeat now leaves them second bottom in North Group ahead of Sunday's visit of winless Lancashire.
Notts climb to fourth in the group, three points behind leaders Worcestershire, ahead of Sunday's home fixture against Leicestershire at Welbeck Colliery.
Warwickshire's Jonathan Trott told BBC WM:
"We lost our way a little bit with the bat and lost too many wickets at crucial times, including myself. I shouldn't have got out when I did.
"If I had got a few more runs, 120 or 130, it would have been a lot easier for the rest of the guys coming in.
"Mullaney and Root batted well to get them up to a defendable total but the disappointing thing is that we had chances in the game to close it out and win it and unfortunately we couldn't do it."
Nottinghamshire batsman Billy Root told BBC Radio Nottingham:
"The century just snuck up on me really. I wasn't thinking about it. It was just a question of trying to score as many runs as possible.
"There were a lot of high-fives in the dressing-room which was nice. I haven't checked my messages yet but I am sure there will be one from Joe.
"It's nice to be selected for the start of a competition and then it's your job to try to contribute and I am happy to have done so. It's a great dressing-room to be in at the moment. Everyone is in such a good place." | Nottinghamshire's Billy Root, younger brother of England Test captain Joe, hit an unbeaten 107 at Edgbaston to help them beat Warwickshire and record a second successive One-Day Cup win. | 39809395 | [

The exhibition Growing Up in the City at the Museum of Liverpool boasts 25 evocative photographs which capture the life of children over more than 100 years.
As well as a providing a snapshot of those lost days of childhood, the pictures also provide a thought-provoking social history of life in Liverpool through the decades.
The photographs span the period from the 1880s to the 1990s and illustrate just how much life for a child has changed and also how special occasions were marked on the city's streets.
The oldest image dates back to 1887 and is a portrait of Florence, George and Gertie Rollo, who came from Waterloo Park.
The Rollo family lived in a large home in the area called Stone House and had four servants. The picture shows the children dressed up in costumes for a fancy dress ball hosted by the Mayor and Mayoress of Bootle, Alderman and Mrs Howard.
As well as showing children at play, another image reminds us that many youngsters were also sent out to work.
A nervous looking young maid for a well-to-do Liverpool family is captured in a great portrait which is thought to have been taken about 1900.
The exhibition has been put together by Kay Jones, Curator of Urban Community History at the Museum of Liverpool.
Ms Jones painstakingly trawled through hundreds of images from the National Museums Liverpool's collections before deciding on the final 25 for the exhibition.
She said: "This has been a fascinating exhibition to work on.
"Looking through hundreds of different postcards, photographs and glass plate negatives in our collections; it was hard to decide on the final 25 images.
"I chose the ones that really stood out and told the experience of childhood.
"People love seeing old photographs and most people can relate to the same experiences of playing out in the street if they're from Liverpool or anywhere else.
"But, at the same time, the pictures also remind us of how things have changed.
"I didn't want it to be just happy memories, I also wanted to remember the children who had to work throughout their childhood.
"I wanted it to be the good and bad experiences of childhood."
Growing Up in the City is at the Museum of Liverpool until 25 September. | Children dangle mid-air on a makeshift swing hanging from a lamppost, a mother celebrates the Silver Jubilee cuddling her sons, and boys from the 1950s fish in the canal - just some of the rare pictures of childhood in Liverpool last century which have now been put on display. | 35243864 | [

James Alabi netted for the Blues early on after taking Elliott Durrell's cross with a deft touch before turning and rifling home.
John Askey's men equalised against the run of play when right-back Andy Halls made a forward run and played a neat one-two before placing past Chester goalkeeper Alex Lynch.
Jack Mackreth's superb cross then allowed Anthony Dudley to put Macc ahead with a firm header.
Alabi hit the post in the second half, but Kane Richards did eventually stab Chester level from another Durrell ball in.
Norburn, however, took on Rhys Browne's ball and struck in low from outside the area with five minutes remaining.

The 22-year-old headed home from a corner as he scored just his fourth goal in 33 appearances this season.
Former Whites striker Michael Bakare had handed the away side the perfect start, curling the ball into the top corner in the second minute.
Stefan Payne scored at the near post to level before Raggett's winner.

But for one group of passengers - those who use wheelchairs - flying often turns into an upsetting and nerve-wracking experience, whatever the time of year.
From problems getting on the plane, to difficulties checking in equipment, and even being unable to go to the toilet onboard, there is always something to worry about.
But there is one issue that can really ruin a holiday: damage to the wheelchairs which are our mobility lifelines.
My wheelchair has been damaged multiple times, including on a recent EasyJet flight to Portugal at the end of July. So I set out to uncover the scale of the problem.
I use a powerchair to get around; my cerebral palsy means my arms are too weak to propel a manual wheelchair. The chair is custom-built, heavy and extremely expensive.
When I fly, my chair goes in the hold. On two successive trips in 2013, to Dublin and Barcelona, it came off the flight home making a foreboding rattling sound.
A few weeks later, it stopped working. The repairs were costly and left me stuck in my university room, entirely reliant on others.
If I was going to continue travelling, I needed another plan.
I thought I'd solved the problem when I invested in another chair, which is specifically designed for travelling by air. The expensive piece of kit consists of a manual chair and an attachable motor.
When flying, the motor can be stored in a suitcase. The idea is that breakable parts are kept safe.
And yet, when I came to reassemble my chair after I arrived in Portugal last week, the motor had been bent out of shape. Five of my friends could not reattach it to the manual frame.
(EasyJet says it is "very rare" for its ground handling companies to damage wheelchairs. When it does happen, they say, they arrange for repairs and a replacement chair. The airline also points out its customer satisfaction amongst passengers with reduced mobility was 84% in 2016).
I spent the whole holiday in Portugal unable to move independently more than a few metres. And it turns out that my experience is far from unique.
After flying more than 40,000 miles all over the world this year, Dan Dorszynski's wheelchair was broken on a short flight from Philadelphia to Detroit.
"The cargo guys couldn't fit it into the cargo door so they crammed it in and broke the backrest, armrest, and a few other things on my chair," he says.
Although his chair was "drive-able", Dorszynski says it couldn't be fixed in time for his next trip. He bought a used version of the same model to take instead.
"Upon leaving Sweden on the way to return home, the airline insisted that I check this chair at the ticket counter instead of taking it to the gate because it was too heavy.
"I argued a bit... however it was fruitless and I just decided to let them have it so it would not be an issue.
"I get to Chicago and after all that, my back-up chair never made it on the first flight. Here I am two days later wondering where that chair is."
Michaela Hollywood has also had difficulties when flying.
"Pretty much every time I've flown before [her most recent flight] there have been problems," she says.
"My chair has been lost for two weeks, only half of it brought back; stuck on the plane, stuck on the ground... my dad once had to actually put it into the hold himself."
And Jeff Courtade was left "bedbound" in his house for "nearly a month" after a flight from San Francisco to Washington DC.
His highly-customised and pain-relieving chair was bent and rendered immobile.
"I am terrified of flying now," he says.
'A cultural problem'
In my opinion, the problem has three parts:
In the eyes of the industry, it seems, a wheelchair is the same - and as robust - as any other piece of luggage.
I have seen my own motor being flung into a trolley of suitcases. Others have found their powerchairs lying on their sides on conveyor belts.
Staff often do not know what they are handling - moving specially-positioned backrests and unplugging vital parts of chairs which cannot just be reattached.
Chairs get lifted and pushed in ways that damage them. My powerchair's brakes were destroyed when staff pushed it without following instructions to set it to its manual settings.
All wheelchairs are different, but some basic training in how they usually work would go a long way.
Once a wheelchair is damaged, it is difficult and expensive to get it fixed. Transporting a broken powerchair involves specific vehicles and a lot of strength (they regularly weigh over 100kg).
Spare parts, particularly for customised chairs, can take weeks to arrive and cost hundreds of pounds. A new chair could cost thousands.
Being awarded compensation for these costs is also an uphill struggle.
"The issue is cultural rather than operational," says Roberto Castiglioni, who set up the organisation Reduced Mobility Rights after experiencing the challenges of travelling with his disabled son.
He now helps others to make successful compensation claims for damage or mistreatment.
Thanks to the division of responsibilities between airports and airlines, there is "endless (and useless) finger-pointing when something goes horribly wrong," he says.
As for me, I eventually made it home from Portugal to the comfort and ease of my powerchair. I'll be setting off on my holidays again next year - perturbed but thankfully not deterred.
But many will find themselves unwilling to entrust their most important belongings to an industry which - all too often - seems not to recognise their value. | The stress of air travel has increased this summer, with long queues reported across Europe because of tighter security and immigration checks. | 40876598 | [

Sweeney, 20, made 16 appearances for Rovers during a loan spell last season, while Telford, also 20, moved to Stoke from Blackpool in July 2015.
"I am now looking forward to playing in League One with Rovers and can't wait to get started," Telford said.
"I am really pleased to be coming back to Bristol Rovers," added Sweeney.
"I know that there were other clubs interested in taking me on loan, but once I knew that Rovers were interested there was only one club I wanted to join."
Sweeney was named as Young Player of the Year at Bristol Rovers last season.
Manager Darrell Clarke said: "I am looking forward to working with both of them as the season progresses and would like to thank Mark Cartwright and Mark Hughes at Stoke for allowing Ryan and Dominic to join us."
The Gas begin their season on Saturday with a trip to The Valley to face Charlton Athletic.

The death toll doubled over the last two days as officials found more than 100 bodies once waters began receding.
Officials estimate that the floods have affected 450,000 people in the state.
This years monsoon rains have affected millions across at least 20 states in India. The north-eastern state of Assam has also seen dozens killed and hundreds of thousands displaced.
The government has announced aid packages for affected areas and Prime Minister Narendra Modi is due to visit Assam on Tuesday.
He has said the aim of his visit is to find a "permanent solution" to the flooding that Assam faces every year.
The Press Trust of India news agency quoted an official as saying that many affected people in Gujarat had begun returning to their villages. | Floods in the western Indian state of Gujarat have killed 218 people, government officials have confirmed. | 40787080 | [

At the start of each month Elena, a 40-year-old Muscovite, spreads all the family cash on the table and starts dividing it into small piles.
"When I do this I shake, I feel nauseous," she says.
"This goes to one bank, that to another, then the third one… There's one more bank, but we don't have the money for them - I had to go and buy some food. I guess we'll have to put up with their telephone reminders."
Elena and her husband owe well over 1m roubles (about £10,800; $17,000) to those four banks.
After the cash piles are sorted the family of three is left with only 10,000 roubles (£107; $167). That puts them below the poverty line - and recently Elena lost her job.
Millions of those in debt live like Elena.
According to the Russian United Credit Bureau (UCB), 40 million Russians have loans or mortgages.
By June, 12.5m of those loans had not been paid for at least a month, and in another 8m cases the arrears stretched back over three months.
The Russian Central Bank says total personal debt has risen to 1tn roubles (£10.7bn; $16.7bn). At least 10% of that amount cannot be recovered by the banks.
For Elena and her husband, this is a story of almost two decades of borrowing. They started getting loans in the mid-1990s to pay for their daughter's medical treatment. Then they took a bigger loan to pay off the smaller ones.
It all seemed manageable, says Elena, but then new expenses came along - and two banks offered credit cards with generous conditions.
"We were a bit stupid," Elena says. "They told us the minimum payment was 5,000 roubles a month and we paid that every month. But that was just the interest, not the loan itself."
During Russia's boom years credit history checks meant virtually nothing. An individual already saddled with loans could take out another one, hoping to pay off previous debts. The small print was often too small to bother about.
Then the music stopped. Money got tight after the 2008 global financial crisis and Western sanctions against Russia over its role in the Ukraine conflict.
The average personal loan in 2014 was 54,600 roubles.
Olga Mazurova is head of Sentinel Credit Management, one of Russia's largest debt-collecting agencies. She says that often Russians are hit by a sudden drop in income, because "the firm goes bankrupt, the working week is cut, there are layoffs or wage cuts - we see that especially in industrial cities in Siberia and the Urals". Few Russians have insurance for such contingencies, she says.
Debtors cannot get much help. There are plans to amend the law on insolvency, to allow individuals to be declared bankrupt. But nothing will happen on that until October.
Russian MPs decided that criminal courts were unprepared for the likely flood of such cases and that courts of arbitration should handle debt cases instead.
Each debtor has to beg the bank to cut them some slack. But Russia's financial ombudsman Pavel Medvedev says that rarely works if someone owes money to more than one institution.
A former adviser to President Vladimir Putin, he knows many top Russian financiers personally - but that does not help him to lobby on behalf of indebted callers. Typically, he says, lenders refuse to restructure personal debts with the words: "I've got a business to run and shareholders demand profits - I can't do it!"
Mr Medvedev says his success rate in helping debtors has dropped from 51% to 33% and "this year it's probably going to be around 16%".
He had no solution for one caller, Vladimir Frolov, living near Moscow.
Mr Frolov started borrowing four years ago to help his partner, living separately from him, in Ukraine. The debts snowballed. Finally, unable to get an unsecured loan, he mortgaged the flat he shares with his elderly parents.
His father Anatoly, who co-signed the agreement, is bewildered when asked which bank it was. "How should I know? They took us into some room, the light was dim and the print was tiny. I just asked if everything was alright and they told me it was."
Besides the mortgage, Vladimir Frolov's parents took out two loans to help him, which eat up 18,000 of their 22,000-rouble monthly pension allowance.
And now Vladimir has defaulted on the mortgage. The bank is suing and they may well lose their only dwelling.
"There must be a normal way out - maybe give the bank a fixed share of my wages?" Vladimir wonders. But so far he has not found anyone at the bank to discuss his dilemma.
"Isn't there a law against this?" asks his father, equally helplessly. "How can they let people borrow so much without checking them first?"
After the good years many Russians are now getting a harsh lesson in capitalism - and inadequate regulations mean there is nothing to soften the blow. | Millions of Russians took out loans during the economic boom years, but now they face crippling debts and the law is not on their side, the BBC's Oleg Boldyrev reports. | 33717488 | [

Restoring the function of the organ - which helps control blood sugar levels - reversed symptoms of diabetes in animal experiments.
The study, published in the journal Cell, says the diet reboots the body.
Experts said the findings were "potentially very exciting" as they could become a new treatment for the disease.
The experiments were on mice put on a modified form of the "fasting-mimicking diet".
When people go on it they spend five days on a low calorie, low protein, low carbohydrate but high unsaturated-fat diet.
It resembles a vegan diet with nuts and soups, but with around 800 to 1,100 calories a day.
Then they have 25 days eating what they want - so overall it mimics periods of feast and famine.
Previous research has suggested it can slow the pace of ageing.
But animal experiments showed the diet regenerated a special type of cell in the pancreas called a beta cell.
These are the cells that detect sugar in the blood and release the hormone insulin if it gets too high.
Dr Valter Longo, from the University of Southern California, said: "Our conclusion is that by pushing the mice into an extreme state and then bringing them back - by starving them and then feeding them again - the cells in the pancreas are triggered to use some kind of developmental reprogramming that rebuilds the part of the organ that's no longer functioning."
There were benefits in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes in the mouse experiments.
Type 1 is caused by the immune system destroying beta cells and type 2 is largely caused by lifestyle and the body no longer responding to insulin.
Further tests on tissue samples from people with type 1 diabetes produced similar effects.
Dr Longo said: "Medically, these findings have the potential to be very important because we've shown - at least in mouse models - that you can use diet to reverse the symptoms of diabetes.
"Scientifically, the findings are perhaps even more important because we've shown that you can use diet to reprogram cells without having to make any genetic alterations."
BBC reporter Peter Bowes took part in a separate trial with Dr Valter Longo.
He said: "During each five-day fasting cycle, when I ate about a quarter of the average person's diet, I lost between 2kg and 4kg (4.4-8.8lbs).
"But before the next cycle came round, 25 days of eating normally had returned me almost to my original weight.
"But not all consequences of the diet faded so quickly."
His blood pressure was lower as was a hormone called IGF-1, which is linked to some cancers.
He said: "The very small meals I was given during the five-day fast were far from gourmet cooking, but I was glad to have something to eat"

Peter Bowes: Intermittent fasting and the good things it did to my body
Separate trials of the diet in people have been shown to improve blood sugar levels. The latest findings help to explain why.
However, Dr Longo said people should not rush off and crash diet.
He told the BBC: "It boils down to do not try this at home, this is so much more sophisticated than people realise."
He said people could "get into trouble" with their health if it was done without medical guidance.
Dr Emily Burns, research communications manager at Diabetes UK, said: "This is potentially very exciting news, but we need to see if the results hold true in humans before we'll know more about what it means for people with diabetes.
"People with type-1 and type-2 diabetes would benefit immensely from treatments that can repair or regenerate insulin-producing cells in the pancreas."

The 50km (31 mile) HK Ultramarathon saw competitors cover the same stretch of road 25 times.
Nestor Wong won the event in 3:24:20 and defended the course, saying it helped to hear the cheering crowds.
An ultramarathon is defined as any race above the standard marathon distance.
Ahead of the event, local runners criticised the course.
"It will be boring and very difficult, if not dizzy, for the runners who will have to do 25 laps of the same stretch of road," Thomas Kiprotich told the South China Morning Post.
"I don't mind monotonous courses, but this is a bit extreme monotony for my tastes," Michelle Lowry added.
Kwan Kee, chairman of the Hong Kong Amateur Athletic Association and one of the race organisers, conceded that the course was "quite boring".
But he told AFP spectator access would help: "It was great that we could secure this course in the heart of the city... land in Hong Kong is very limited." | Hundreds of runners have competed in Hong Kong's first inner-city ultramarathon, despite organisers describing it as "quite boring". | 31681299 | [

The Brazil forward converted a 74th-minute penalty after Sevilla left-back Benoit Tremoulinas handled inside the penalty area but Barca could not level.
Striker Michael Krohn-Dehli put Sevilla ahead in the 52nd minute and he then set up midfielder Vicente Iborra to score for the hosts six minutes later.
Sevilla's victory was their first at home against Barca in seven years.
Barcelona have now lost consecutive away games in La Liga following their 4-1 defeat to Celta Vigo on 23 September.
Luis Enrique's side have 15 points from seven games, a point behind leaders Villarreal who are away to Levante on Sunday.
Also on Sunday fourth-placed Real Madrid, on 14 points, take on city rivals Atletico Madrid who are one place and two points below them.
Elsewhere on Saturday, Granada held Deportivo La Coruna to a 1-1 draw.
The La Liga season may only be seven games old but there are signs that Barcelona's defence of their title might not be as straightforward as they hoped.
Barca are still serving a 14-month transfer ban imposed by Fifa after being found guilty of breaching rules on the transfer of players aged under 18.
They added defender Aleix Vidal and midfielder Arda Turan to their squad in the summer, but neither player is eligible to play until January.
Coach Enrique will hope they can inject fresh impetus into a side that perhaps feels a little stale without new blood.
Barcelona are without Lionel Messi until the end of next month as he recovers from the knee ligament injury picked up in last weekend's 2-1 win over Las Palmas.
The Catalan club made hard work of their opponents on that occasion and had to come from behind to beat Bayer Leverkusen by the same scoreline in the Champions League during the week.
Against Sevilla the defending La Liga champions were a little unfortunate as they struck the post five times at the Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium.
Nevertheless Barca missed the Messi's brilliance and clinical finishing despite the presence of Uruguay forward Luis Suarez and Neymar.

The Tribunal de Commerce decided SeaFrance's future after a bailout by the French government was ruled illegal by the European Commission.
The court also said an offer by a cooperative of employees was not acceptable.
Hundreds of jobs in France are also expected to be lost.
Three ferries were operated by SeaFrance on the Dover to Calais route. The service was suspended in November.
Conservative MP for Dover and Deal Charlie Elphicke said: "It is a real concern for the... people in Dover who have worked for SeaFrance and also their families.
"This is a difficult day and I think the heart of the whole community goes out to them.
"Obviously it's a real blow, [if] SeaFrance isn't operating that means there's less ferry traffic."
There were tears from SeaFrance workers who gathered outside the court in Paris to hear the decision on the firm's future.
Many were protesting over the handling of SeaFrance's fate, with one banner questioning why French president, Nikolas Sarkozy had not intervened to save the company.
Flares were lit in protest at the company's liquidation.
Eurotunnel has not ruled out a future bid for the cross-channel ferry firm, which employs nearly 1,000 people.
Mr Elphicke said of Eurotunnel's proposals: "Many people will want to know that they weren't simply going to buy them [SeaFrance's ferries] in order to scrap them.
"We need to make sure they give a clear plan as to why they are interested in the ferry business and not simply going to take out capacity.
"Everyone is working as hard as they can to ensure that their jobs will be safeguarded and working as hard as they can to ensure that those ships will be back on route with a new buyer and a new purchaser."
A spokesman said Eurotunnel would "now be working to see what the fair value of the assets" were before making any decision.
The French firm went into receivership in 2010 and its company's ferries carried more than 3.5 million passengers a year on the Dover to Calais route.
A spokeswoman from SeaFrance said: "SeaFrance is sad to announce that the Tribunal de Commerce in Paris has made the decision to liquidate the company.
"Despite the best efforts of all parties, the court came to the difficult conclusion that none of the options available to it were financially viable.
"Provision has been made to ensure that all customers with pre-existing bookings will receive refunds."
She urged customers to contact SeaFrance for details. | Ferry firm SeaFrance is to shed 127 jobs in Dover after it was liquidated by a French court and told to cease activity. | 16469300 | [

World road champion Armitstead finished in the peloton to extend her overall lead over South Africa's Ashleigh Moolman-Pasio to eight seconds.
The 2014 winner Vos won the 119km stage from Nottingham to Stoke in a sprint finish.
Sunday's 113.2km final stage runs from Northampton to Kettering.
Vos, who lost the yellow jersey to Armitstead on Friday, won in what was a reduced sprint, with only 20 riders at the front of the race to battle it out after the bulk of the day's climbing was packed into the second half of the stage.
Boels Domans rider Armitstead had attacked along with Elisa Longo Borghini, Moolman-Pasio and Emma Johansson with a little under 20km remaining, catching and passing lone breakaway rider Emilia Fahlin.
Armitstead said: "The race stayed together until the climb and then me, Ashleigh and Elisa went on the second Queen of the Mountains [intermediate sprint]. Emilia was in no-man's land so she came back up to us.
"There was a bit of co-operation for maybe five kilometres and then Emma and Elisa started attacking."
But the chasing pack, including Vos, battled back and caught them shortly before the 1km-to-go Flamme Rouge to set up the sprint finish.
She added: "In the final kilometres I could tell [the peloton] were coming back.
"Coming into the final kilometre there were a couple of turns with up-hill flickers and again Emma and Elisa were attacking, so it was just about covering them.
"As the group from behind pulled, I tried to put myself in a good position but got caught out a little bit on the last corner."

Judge Aaron Persky has been heavily criticised for giving student Brock Turner six months for assaulting an unconscious woman last year.
Two other petitions have reached 115,000 and 175,000 signatures each.
The petitions have no legal force but organisers hope they will increase pressure on politicians to act.
Mr Persky, a Superior Court judge in Santa Clara County, California, has reportedly received death threats in the wake of the case.
The jail sentence he handed down to Turner has been widely criticised as too lenient. Prosecutors had called for six years.
Turner was seen by two other students sexually assaulting his victim, now 23, behind an outdoor rubbish bin.
He tried to flee the scene but was caught and later admitted to the assault in court.
Rights activists and members of the general public have accused Mr Persky of being influenced by Turner's upbringing in a wealthy, white family, and his achievements as a college swimmer.
The petition, posted on Change.org, says that Mr Persky had "failed to send the message that sexual assault is against the law regardless of social class, race, gender or other factors".
The judge said in his remarks that he was concerned about the "severe impact" a longer sentence would have on Turner's life.
Turner's father was also criticised after issuing a statement to the court saying his son was paying a steep price for only "20 minutes of action".
Turner, who was a promising swimmer expected to compete for the US at Olympic level, has been banned for life by USA Swimming, the governing body for professional swimming in the US.
The victim, who has not been named by the press, read an impact statement in court which was later read by millions.
US Vice-President Joe Biden, who is involved in a campaign against campus assaults, wrote her an open letter praising her for her courage and saying he was "filled with furious anger" at the course of events.
The cast of the TV show Girls have also made a video backing the woman and other victims of sexual assault. | More than a million people have signed a petition calling for the judge in the controversial Stanford University sexual assault case to be sacked. | 36496977 | [

Guitarist and co-songwriter Johnny Marr has released an extract from his upcoming memoir Set The Boy Free in the Guardian and said he met with former band mate Morrissey in 2008.
The pair discussed the possibility, which Marr said would "make a hell of a lot of people very happy".
But "the distrust remained" between the two and the idea never came to pass.
Marr was back in touch with Morrissey in a "rare period of communication" when he was remastering The Smiths' back catalogue and they arranged to meet in a pub in south Manchester.
"I was happy to see him," he wrote. "It was 10 years or more since we'd last met. We caught up with personal news and family and reminisced a bit."
But then the conversation turned to "deeper things" and, eventually, what Marr called "that subject".
He wrote: "There had been rumours for years that the Smiths were about to re-form, and they were always untrue. I had never pursued any offer.
"Suddenly we were talking about the possibility of the band re-forming, and in that moment it seemed that with the right intention it could actually be done and might even be great."
After parting company with a hug, Marr returned to his band at the time, The Cribs, and talked to them about him possibly playing some shows with The Smiths, which he hoped "might even be better than before".
But by the time he returned from Mexico with the Cribs, Marr said, the communication had ended.
"Things went back to how they were and how I expect they always will be," he said. "An air of disaffection and distrust remained between us. It was a shame." | A founding member of The Smiths has revealed that re-forming "was a very real prospect" - if only for four days. | 37809259 | [

The 34-year-old Canadian joins the Giants from the Austrian Hockey League side Villacher SV.
Johner was selected by the Florida Panthers in the 2001 NHL draft but has played in Europe for the past decade.
He won the Swiss A League with the Zurich Lions and had a successful spell in the Swedish League.
Johner becomes the fourth new signing of the summer for the Giants following the arrivals of Darcy Murphy, Jonathan Ferland and Sebastien Sylvestre.
"Johner is one of those guys that no matter who you speak to about him, they have nothing but positive things to say - as a player, person and team-mate," said Giants head coach Adam Keefe.
"We are really excited to add a player of Dustin's pedigree to the Belfast Giants. He's another new signing that will leave it all out on the ice for this city." | The Belfast Giants have added experienced forward Dustin Johner to their roster for the forthcoming Elite League season. | 40675643 | [

Mr Cowen had to deny being drunk or hungover during the RTE interview.
The taoiseach was interviewed live from his party's conference, which is taking place in Galway.
On Wednesday he said: "I'm sorry that it emerged in the quality it did. There was a hoarseness in my voice throughout the day yesterday."
He added: "It wasn't my best performance and I would like to apologise for that.
"I would hate to think the reputation of the country or the office of taoiseach would in any way be affected by what I had to say."
Mr Cowen again denied any suggestions he was hungover.
"The assertions made subsequent to it were without justification, without foundation, were not correct, were not true," he said.
Mr Cowen had attended the Fianna Fail party dinner at the Ardilaun Hotel in Galway on Monday night.
Following the interview, the finance spokesman for the Republic's opposition claimed there were concerns over the leadership of the country.
"There was a feeling this morning that this can't continue, the game is up," said Fine Gael's Michael Noonan.
Simon Coveney, also of Fine Gael, who said in a Twitter message on Tuesday that Mr Cowen sounded "half-way between drunk and hungover" in the interview, has said he accepted the taoiseach's apology.
Mr Coveney said that he believed Mr Cowen, but added that he did not regret his previous tweet.
He said it took "a big person to apologise when big mistakes are made as was the case yesterday morning and the Taosieach should be recognised for that." | Irish Prime Minister Brian Cowen has admitted that a controversial radio interview he gave on Tuesday was not his "best performance". | 11322087 | [

The route 26 bus to Hackney Wick, a hybrid bus, was outside Liverpool Street Station when smoke started pouring out before catching fire.
London Fire Brigade was called just before 10:00 BST and put out the flames and cleared up the fuel spillage.
Ben Lewis, a local resident, who filmed the fire and explosion said people were left "aghast" at the sight.
No one was on board and the driver had left the bus.
London Fire Brigade said 50% of the energy-efficient hybrid bus was damaged by the fire, the cause of which is not yet known.
Bishopsgate was closed between Threadneedle Street and Wormwood Street until about 14:25 BST.
Tony Akers, Transport for London's head of bus operations, said: "At approximately 9.55am on Sunday 2 October, a route 26 double-decker hybrid bus, operated by CT Bus, suffered a fire at Bishopsgate Junction.
"No passengers were on board at the time, and the driver alighted safely. There will be a full investigation into the incident."
Ben Lewis, an engineer who lives in the area, was filming the bus fire when there was "a little explosion".
Mr Lewis said he had just come out of a supermarket when he saw the bus in flames, but decided "it's time to leave" after the explosion.
"Everybody seemed aghast, motionless. It's not something you see every day in London."
Isabelle Kiff who had planned to board the bus said: "Corner of Camomile Street and Bishopsgate near Liverpool Street station.
"I turned the corner and saw the bus I was planning to get on in flames.
"The police then arrived and told everyone to move away then the fire fighters arrived and started putting it out." | A double-decker bus has burst into flames outside a train station in central London. | 37534973 | [

He has frequently expressed his dislike of social media sites - including YouTube and Facebook - believing they are being used to attack him.
However, the Twitter ban has drawn widespread criticism, including from Turkish President Abdullah Gul who tweeted his disagreement.
But Mr Erdogan's troubles go far beyond social media. He is also facing allegations of corruption and is embroiled in a feud with a former ally.
Here's a look at some of the battles he is currently fighting.
Last month, an audio recording posted on an anonymous Twitter account appeared to show Mr Erdogan talking to his son about hiding large sums of money.
Mr Erdogan denounced it as a fake.
"I don't care what the international community says at all. Everyone will see the power of the Turkish Republic," Mr Erdogan said on Thursday.
However, millions of Turkish internet users continued to access Twitter, using proxy servers and other means. Twitter itself posted instructions, while in Istanbul, graffiti appeared with details of how to sidestep the ban.
Many of the prime minister's harshest critics have used Twitter to co-ordinate protests against him and circulate damaging information.
A law passed last month tightens government controls on the internet, allowing the Turkish authorities to block websites without first seeking a court ruling.
It will also force internet providers to store data on web users' activities for two years and make it available to the authorities.
The opposition and human rights organisations have criticised the move as an assault on freedom of expression.
The BBC also expressed concern after a reporter for BBC Turkish was attacked on social media by the mayor of Ankara.

BBC reporters 'intimidated' by Turkey
The recorded phone call posted on Twitter appears to show Mr Erdogan asking his son Bilal to dispose of millions of euros in cash from a house.
Mr Erdogan says the allegations are a plot by his enemies to oust him.
In December, three Turkish government ministers resigned after their sons were taken into custody by police investigating allegations of bribery for construction projects.
All three sons were later released.
One of the ministers later said a great number of the construction projects had been approved by Mr Erdogan himself and he called on the prime minister to resign.

Once an ally of Mr Erdogan, Fethullah Gulen is an Islamic scholar who founded an influential social and cultural network which now includes more than 900 schools in Turkey.
Mr Gulen himself has lived in self-imposed exile in the US since 1999.
Followers of his Hizmet movement - whose name means "service" - are said to hold senior positions in the Turkish police, the judiciary and Mr Erdogan's AK Party itself.
However, Mr Gulen's critics believe Hizmet's aim is to gain power, to spread socially conservative Islamic attitudes on issues like marriage and alcohol around the globe, and to suppress any opposition.
Mr Erdogan has accused him of running a "state within a state" - an accusation he denies.
In December, Turkish pro-government media claimed prosecutors with ties to Mr Gulen had illegally wiretapped thousands of prominent figures.
Targets reportedly included government ministers and business leaders.
The claims were published a few hours ahead of the leaked recording said to be of Mr Erdogan.

Turkey prosecutors 'tapped phones'
The anger which led to last year's protests flared up again recently, with the news of the death of a 15-year-old boy who had been in a coma since last June.
Berkin Elvan was on his way to buy bread when he was hit on the head by a tear gas canister fired by police.
Mr Erdogan said the boy had links to "terrorist organisations".
His death brought the toll from last year's unrest to at least eight, including one policeman.
The protests began over plans to develop Istanbul's Gezi Park into a new mosque and shopping centre, but escalated into national demonstrations against what opponents see as Mr Erdogan's growing authoritarianism.

For many years, Mr Erdogan was held up as the role model for the leaders of Muslim countries, at ease with democracy and a pluralistic society. He has now been in power for 11 years. His critics say he is becoming increasingly autocratic.
Turkey is a member of Nato and is formally a candidate to join the European Union. European Commission Vice-President Neelie Kroes took to Twitter to voice her disappointment at the Twitter ban: "The Twitter ban in #Turkey is groundless, pointless, cowardly. Turkish people and intl community will see this as censorship. It is."
The German government also criticised the ban, as did the US-based research and pressure group Human Rights Watch, which called it a "fundamental blow to freedom of expression".
Mr Erdogan is likely to shrug off criticism from his foreign critics. But local elections are due to take place on 30 March, and the Turkish prime minister will have no choice but to listen to the voters' verdict. | Turkey has blocked the social networking site Twitter following Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's vow to "wipe out" the service. | 26680033 | [

The Scot collected £200,000, the biggest ever victory cheque for a tournament outside the UK, after prevailing in a high-quality contest.
Higgins led 5-4 after the first session in Guangzhou, but 2015 world champion Bingham won the first two on the resumption before Higgins moved 7-6 up.
An 84 from Bingham levelled it but 134 and two more tons sealed Higgins' win.
It was the 41-year-old's first tournament win since last year's International Championship, also in China, but as an invitation title does not count towards his tally of 28 ranking crowns.
The world number six beat Mark Williams, Ali Carter and Mark Allen en route to the final, which featured five centuries in all and nine more breaks over 50. | John Higgins reeled off three centuries from 7-7 to beat Stuart Bingham 10-7 in the final of the China Championship. | 37884990 | [

Inspector Harold Stephens said the County Plan, which will be the blueprint for development in County Durham for the next 20 years, was "unrealistic and flawed".
The council had wanted him to reassess his findings but he has refused.
The authority has now said it will take that decision to court.
Ian Thompson, the council's corporate director of regeneration and economic development, said: "It came as a disappointment that the planning inspector has declined to reopen the examination.
"We maintain the plan offers the best prospect for economic growth and have explored every option and opportunity in our efforts to demonstrate this, which has included employing independent planning experts to review our business-backed predictions for growth.
"We now have no choice but to pursue this matter through the courts by way of a Judicial Review."
In the plan, the county council said it wants to build 31,400 homes and create thousands of jobs over the next 20 years, in a bid to attract more businesses and people to the area.
But Mr Stephens said the plan was "unsound" and assumptions about job growth were "very ambitious". | Durham County Council is seeking a judicial review after a planning inspector refused to re-examine his criticism of proposals for the county. | 32758861 | [

The Irish were 17-0 down inside the opening 13 minutes in Cardiff and went on to lose heavily 43-20.
"We just did not get the start that we needed, particularly with a group low on experience," said Schmidt.
"The confidence got dented a little bit but I was incredibly proud of the way they fought their way back."

They went into the match without influential performers Paul O'Connell, Johnny Sexton, Peter O'Mahony, Sean O'Brien and Jared Payne - and got off to a terrible start by conceding a third-minute try.
A second try and penalty followed before Ireland got themselves on the scoreboard.
Ireland summoned up a big effort after half-time as Jordi Murphy's try helped cut the margin to only three points before Ian Madigan missed a long-range penalty that would have levelled the game.
"We had a kick which could have drawn us level and might have allowed us to kick on," Schmidt added.
"It wasn't to be and really when you try a little too hard at the end you get loose and, with the speed merchants Argentina have, they finished off another couple of tries and that exacerbated things.
"It reflected the tour de force we have seen demonstrated by the southern hemisphere teams.
"We were desperate not to be part of what happened in Saturday's matches."
Ireland skipper Jamie Heaslip: "We are obviously very disappointed to lose in such a big game.
"We didn't help ourselves at the start but we fought back, we came back in it, but we gave ourselves too much to do at the start.
"Argentina played a very expansive game, they stretched us and they took their scores when they got them.
"We got it back to three points and they took their opportunities again to kick on, and we just could not take our opportunities."
Argentina's Juan Imhoff: "It was a tough game, we worked a lot to get this victory.
"We will enjoy this, but next week we will have another tough game.
"We are a really good team in offence, we attack very well, but today we had a defence to make the difference." | Ireland's slow start to their World Cup quarter-final against Argentina proved their downfall, head coach coach Joe Schmidt has admitted. | 34567503 | [

The South Korean, 23, bogeyed the 18th hole to finish on 17 under alongside 26-year-old Solheim Cup player Ciganda.
But Kim then birdied the par-four 18th in the play-off to seal her second LPGA title this season - after March's JTBC Founders Cup - and her fifth overall.
Wales' Becky Morgan finished tied 16th, with joint first-round leader Dame Laura Davies in a share of 43rd.

The pedestrian, from Tyne and Wear, was struck by a Vauxhall Corsa on Crossing Boulevard in Dartford at 18:07 GMT.
The vehicle was located in Bexleyheath and a 22-year-old man and a 20-year-old woman from Dartford were arrested.
They are being held on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving, failing to stop at the scene of a crash and perverting the course of justice.
The victim died at the scene. His next of kin have been informed.
Officers from the Serious Collision Investigation Unit have appealed for witnesses.
PC Jamie Woodhams said: "I would like anyone who saw the vehicle and has not yet spoken to police to come forward.
"The vehicle suffered windscreen and headlight damage and was driven away from the scene towards the M25." | A man in his 20s has died after being hit by a car while crossing a road in Kent on Christmas Eve. | 38431165 | [

The Aurora Australis had broken free of its mooring lines on Wednesday following a severe blizzard.
The Australian Antarctic Division (AAD) said a barge ferried the expedition members to the Mawson research station after weather conditions improved.
Thirty-one crew members remain onboard to refloat the vessel.
The AAD said the refloating process, where the crew will attempt to move the ship off the rocks, would take several hours, and that afterwards the ship would be taken to a nearby sheltered area for inspections.
The vessel incurred a small breach in the hull when it ran aground, which the AAD said poses no risk to the ship's stability or to the environment. It added there was no fuel spilled so far.
The Aurora Australis left Hobart in Tasmania on 11 January and carried out marine science research around the Kerguelen Plateau, a submerged continent that extends for 2,200km (1,365 miles), before arriving at Mawson on Saturday.
It broke free of mooring lines at 09:15 local time (04:15 GMT) on Wednesday, amid winds of more than 130kph (80mph), and ran aground at West Arm in Horseshoe Harbour.
It was also scheduled to pick up another group of expedition members from Davis research station.
The AAD said on Friday that this group would now be flown to Casey research station, and then flown home in coming days.
The Aurora Australis, which is 95m long and weighs 3,911 tonnes, was launched in 1989 and is capable of breaking ice that is up to 1.2m thick.
The ship is designed to cope with heavy seas and contains laboratories that are used for biological, oceanographical and meteorological research. It also has a gym, library and recreation areas. | Thirty-seven people stranded on Australia's flagship icebreaker, which ran aground in Antarctica, have been rescued, authorities said. | 35666269 | [

A defence official said in a statement on Wednesday that its nuclear programme had "long been in the full-fledged stage of miniaturisation".
However, analysts say while there is evidence the programme is advancing, it is difficult to assess its true extent.
The claim comes hours after North Korea cancelled a planned visit by the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.
Mr Ban was due to visit an industrial complex in the Kaesong economic zone run jointly by the North and South and would have been the first UN chief to visit North Korea in more than 20 years.
Speaking at a forum in Seoul, he said the move was "deeply regrettable" and that no explanation was given.
North Korea previously claimed it had miniaturised a device for the nuclear test it conducted in 2013 but experts have continued to debate how far along that process it is.
Dr John Swenson-Wright, head of the Asia programme at the Chatham House think-tank, said that while there was "growing evidence of the North's increasing technical sophistication", caution was necessary in interpreting North Korea's latest statement.
Some have interpreted the latest moves, together with some recent high-profile executions, as attempts by leader Kim Jong-un to assert his authority.
The latest announcement on nuclear advances follows the publication earlier this month of pictures apparently showing a missile being launched from a submarine. Some experts have said the images may have been doctored.
Responding to the latest claims, the South Korean defence ministry urged the North to stop developing nuclear weapons.
An anonymous South Korean military official said it was believed to be true that Pyongyang had made significant progress in miniaturising its nuclear weapons.
"But South Korea and the US share the assessment that it is not at a stage where it has completed the related technology," the official told the Yonhap news agency. | North Korea has claimed it has the technology to make nuclear warheads small enough to fit on a missile. | 32807774 | [

It took 72 firefighters five hours to extinguish the fire in Trebovir Road, Earl's Court, after being called at about 21:45 BST on Sunday.
They rescued 12 people from inside the building, three from one next door and two from the roof of a neighbouring property.
Nobody was hurt but 150 people were evacuated.
The whole of the second floor of the hotel was damaged by fire, three quarters of the third floor and all of the roof.
Station manager Winston Douglas said: "This was a serious fire and crews and worked very hard to stop the fire spreading." | Seventeen people were rescued after a huge fire ripped through a hotel and block of flats in west London. | 36457656 | [

The town has only one national chain - Boots chemist - while all other businesses are family run and independent.
Last week 200 people attended a protest over the plan.
The final decision on the application will be taken by Brecon Beacons National Park Authority.
Neither the park authority nor Punch Taverns were represented at the meeting. | More than 400 people have attended a meeting to oppose plans for a supermarket. | 32162170 | [

Sean Mitchell, 46, inflicted four stab wounds on Stephen Dagg, 53, when he attacked him from behind at the St Mary's Vaults pub in Stamford, Lincolnshire.
Lincoln Crown Court heard there was a history of hostility between the men.
Mitchell, who was a publican at the nearby Melbourn pub, had previously banned Mr Dagg from his premises.
More on this and other local stories from across Lincolnshire
The court heard Mr Dagg was drinking in the St Mary's Vaults pub on 12 June when Mitchell burst in to the pub and was heard to say: "Where's that queer."
Witnesses then described Mitchell, a father-of-three, attacking Mr Dagg from behind and inflicting four "karate chop" type blows to his neck and shoulder area.
The publican of St Mary's Vaults confirmed all of her knives were accounted for which meant Mitchell must have brought his steak knife with him.
Mr Dagg was then chased three or four times around the pub and hid behind the bar before he managed to escape outside.
He was later admitted to hospital in Peterborough where was he treated for four stab wounds.
Mitchell, who also had a supervisory role at the St Mary's Vaults pub, later said he had no memory of the attack and simply did not know why it had happened.
Mark Watson, mitigating, admitted Mitchell had brought the weapon with him, but had no recollection of what happened.
He added: "He had and has no idea about the complainant's sexuality. It was simply generic abuse."
Mitchell, of All Saints Street, Stamford, admitted a charge of wounding Mr Dagg with intent to cause him grievous bodily harm and having an offensive weapon. | A publican who repeatedly stabbed a man with a steak knife has been jailed for four years. | 38224915 | [

BP's Statistical Review of World Energy said global energy consumption "slowed sharply" to an increase of just 0.9% in 2014.
BP said slow growth for energy demand was largely due to China's economy moving away from "energy-intensive sectors".
Separately, it said increased US shale supply was a "continuing revolution".
The BP review also said the mixture of fuels which the world was using was changing.
BP's chief executive Bob Dudley said 2014 was characterised by "volatility and uncertainty" and "may well come to be viewed as symptomatic of a broader shifting in some of the tectonic plates that make up the energy landscape".
The growth in Chinese coal consumption slowed to "unusually weak" levels, due to the slowing pace of industrialisation in the country.
Globally, production increased for all fuels except coal.
Meanwhile, worldwide demand for all other fuels increased the report said.
'Fuel mix'
Global growth in natural gas was weak, due to a mild European winter - which led to a sharp fall in the continent's gas consumption.
But renewable energy continued to see the fastest growth in demand, now fulfilling 3% of the world's energy needs, the report said.
Overall, carbon emissions from energy use grew by 0.5%.
The report also said that supply for oil continued to outstrip demand - global oil consumption grew by 0.8%, while oil production grew by 2.3%, with the US continuing to be the world's biggest oil producer.
BP said: "The big picture remains one of abundant reserves, with new sources of energy being discovered more quickly than they are consumed.
"Total proved reserves of oil and gas in 2014 were more than double their level in 1980." | The growth in global demand for energy slowed to levels not seen since the late 1990s, a new report suggests. | 33076568 | [

The jihadists seized buildings on the eastern edge of the adjacent city of Tadmur on Thursday, but their push was reportedly halted by the Syrian army.
Syria's antiquities chief warned that if IS seizes the Unesco World Heritage site it will destroy everything there.
The group has ransacked and demolished several ancient sites in Iraq.
Palmyra has already suffered some damage during the four-year civil war.
It is situated in a strategically important area on the road between the capital, Damascus and the contested eastern city of Deir al-Zour, and close to gas fields
On Thursday, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said that IS militants were mounting an assault on Tadmur, the modern town next to the ruins of Palmyra.
Twenty-six civilians in a village outside Tadmur were summarily killed by IS - at least 10 by beheading - on Thursday after being accused of collaborating with President Bashar al-Assad's government, Mr Abdul Rahman said.
IS itself claimed on Twitter that it had taken control of northern and eastern parts of Tadmur, and that it had shot down a Syrian air force MiG jet in the area.
Homs provincial governor Talal Barazi confirmed that al-Sukhanah, a town to the north-east, had fallen on Wednesday and said 1,800 families from the town were sheltering in Tadmur.
The Syrian Observatory said more than 70 soldiers and 40 militants had been killed in the battle for al-Sukhanah.
Rising out of the desert and flanked by an oasis, Palmyra contains the monumental ruins of a great city that was one of the most important cultural centres of the ancient world, according to Unesco.
The site, most of which dates back to the 1st to the 2nd Century when the region was under Roman rule, is dominated by a grand, colonnaded street.
At the southern end of the 1.1km street is the great temple of Bel, considered one of the most important religious buildings of the 1st Century in the East and of unique design.
Syria's director of antiquities, Maamoun Abdul Karim, said that if Palmyra were to fall to IS, it would be an "international catastrophe".
"It will be a repetition of the barbarism and savagery which we saw in Nimrud, Hatra and Mosul," he told AFP news agency.
The ancient sites in northern Iraq were recently blown up by IS militants, who control swathes of territory on both sides of the Syria-Iraq border.
A US-led coalition has carried out air strikes on the jihadist group's positions since September. However, it says it does not co-ordinate its actions with the Assad government. | Palmyra, one of the archaeological jewels of the Middle East, is said to be under threat from Islamic State (IS) militants in Syria. | 32735677 | [

The city's mayor, Joao Doria, said he did not want to see an "open-air shopping mall for drugs".
He said he wanted to move the addicts on and provide them with medical services and housing.
Critics say his policies are pushing the problem to other parts of the city.
At the end of May, 500 armed police officers were deployed to clear the main streets in the area of Sao Paulo known as "Cracolandia" or "Crackland".
Nearly 40 people were arrested during the operation for drug-trafficking and many of the addicts fled into neighbouring streets.
The biggest concentration went to Princess Isabel square around 300 metres (330 yds) from the main Crackland area.
During the second operation on Sunday police brought in bulldozers to clear the shacks and tents set up by the addicts in the square.
The mayor said: "We wont be turning back. The idea is not to move them elsewhere, we intend to provide the addicts with support and try to guarantee their survival."
He has promised to restore and renovate the area providing social housing, schools, kindergartens and hospitals using private and public investments.
Although many people agree in Sao Paulo over the need for intensive policing in the area, Mr Doria has divided opinion over his suggestion that the addicts should receive compulsory rehabilitation treatment.
But workers say many addicts are fearful and hostile to them now and that Mr Doria's policies are destroying years of work building relationships with the addicts.
Social workers also point to the need to provide jobs and housing.
The Doria administration ended a programme introduced by the previous left-wing mayor of Sao Paulo, Fernando Haddad, which had offered hotel rooms in Crackland for a small daily sum to drug addicts who worked in jobs like road-sweeping or gardening.
The mayor has instead recently announced an offer of 100 jobs by a fast food chain to homeless people in general, of which there are around 20,000 in Sao Paulo. | Security forces in Sao Paulo have cleared a central square of crack addicts and homeless people who fled from a similar police operation nearby nearly a month ago. | 40243389 | [

Some applaud Britain's decision as being in its national interest, but others fear that the only beneficiary will be Russia.
David Cameron was singled out for criticism, which echoed views heard across Europe that he had put the Conservative Party before the UK in calling the referendum.
Estonian Health and Labour Minister Jevgeny Ossinovski wrote in an English-language Facebook post that the UK prime minister had gambled on the European project.
Parliament speaker Eiki Nestor also questioned the outgoing prime minister's statesmanship: "David Cameron never lied to British people when he urged them to vote, but he wasn't a statesman at all when he thought that the election results for the Conservatives are more important than fate of the UK and Europe".
Latvian former President Vaira Vike-Freiberga tweeted that Mr Cameron would "go down in history as a less successful British prime minister".
And Lithuanian conservative politician and former foreign minister Audronius Azubalis saw the referendum and its result as an "example of political irresponsibility"
"With all my Britophilia, it is not hard for me to admit that there are more than enough village idiots there as well," popular Lithuanian journalist and comedian Algis Ramanauskas said in a Facebook post "liked" more than a 1,000 times.
Critical voices predominate, but Britain also has support on Baltic social media among Eurosceptics.
Estonian MEP Martin Helme hailed the Brexit vote on Facebook as a "joyous day for all friends of freedom and national independence. Land of Hope and Glory is like a second anthem for the British, so let's cheer them today".
Popular Lithuanian journalist Andrius Uzkalnis saw the vote as a rejection of "European integration maniacs". "The British are just tired of your preaching and voted to spite you. No worries, Trump will also get elected," he wrote.
Estonian political analyst Ahto Lobjakas questioned calls for the European Union to take a hard line in any negotiations with Britain, tweeting "Why does everyone seem to assume the EU's only option post-Brexit is the honour killing of the UK?"
Pro-Russian activist Aleksandr Gaponenko has seen an opportunity for Latvia to follow suit, announcing a plan to collect signatures for a petition.
"The powers that be will be so scared by the initiative that they will subject the signatories to police repression. The whole of Europe will condemn the repression, and this will be a step towards kicking Latvia out of the new EU," he predicted on Facebook.
Some commentators, especially in Latvia, see Russia as the Brexit winner.
Latvian journalist Aivars Ozolins tweeted that they would be toasting the Brexit vote in the Kremlin with "copious amounts of vodka", while Foreign Minister Edgars Rinkevics retweeted an LTV News post of his own comment that "Russia is the winner of Brexit, because the EU will be weakened".
"As expected, all the Kremlin internet comment trolls are happy with British democracy," conservative former defence minister Rasa Jukneviciene noted wryly.
For many observers, there is a widespread feeling that the impact of the British vote should not be exaggerated, and that the focus among remaining EU countries should be on working together.
"Britain's exit from the EU is a real challenge to the community members. We must strengthen EU unity," Lithuanian President Dalia Grybauskaite posted on Facebook.
Lithuanian political observer Vladimiras Laucius said it was "sad to be left without the British", but "no tragedy, no need to whine".
Lithuanian Foreign Minister Linas Linkevicius tweeted his "Bregret" while Latvian Prime Minister Maris Kucinskis vowed that his country would make "every effort to protect the interests of its nationals and its companies in Great Britain".
Latvian commentator Kaspars Berzins said the best way to maintain relations was to offer Latvian residence permits and citizenship to anyone with a UK passport on the day of the referendum.

The firm predicted that the move would help drive the development of autonomous vehicles.
Called Apollo, the project will make a range of software, hardware and data services available to others, especially carmakers.
Other firms in the sector, such as Tesla and Google, have tended to keep key developments secret.
Baidu, often described as China's Google, has been developing self-drive vehicles since 2015.
Making the announcement ahead of the Shanghai Auto Show, it said technologies for use in restricted test environments would be available as soon July.
There will then be a gradual roll-out of other technology, with an aim to offer its full range of developments to support self-driving for highways and city roads by 2020.
In a statement, Baidu's group president Qi Lu said it wanted to create a "collaborative ecosystem" using its strengths in artificial intelligence (AI) to "encourage greater innovation and opportunities, making better use of our technology to drive the evolution of the entire industry".
This move could be likened to Google's decision to release Android, the free operating system for smartphones, says James Chao of IHS Markit.
Even though it was free to use, it became a success for Google because it drives users to the company's various mobile apps and services.
By becoming the supplier of the "brains" for more cars than just the ones it makes itself, there are clear benefits. One is potential revenue from carmakers in the long term.
And what is also crucial to the development of self-driving vehicles is data. The more cars using its technology, the more data it should be able to harvest.
"It really sounds like they want to treat this like a smartphone platform," Mr Chao said. "The holy grail for software in cars is to become the Android or iOS that everyone is using, and this is their strategy to do that."
Baidu's statement alludes to opportunities in the US, but also in its home market.
"China is the world's largest market for automotive sales and production. It has many car brands and an open environment that is ripe for collaboration," group president Qi Lu said.
Analyst Mr Chao agrees. "I can think of at least 20 Chinese carmakers who would be perfect candidates," he told the BBC.
"They don't have huge research budgets or the resources to figure out how to make self-driving vehicles themselves.
"These are firms that tend to rely on suppliers so they can build a car and so this fits in perfectly for them."
He said this could mean that Baidu's technology will be used in millions of cars on China's roads by 2020.
However, bigger international carmakers who are already working on autonomous vehicles are unlikely to follow suit.
Motivated by the widespread pollution problems, Beijing has pushed for more electric vehicles and Chinese carmakers have responded significantly.
And in the race for driverless car technology, Chinese companies are taking big strides. Along with Changan and Geely, Baidu is one of the big players, with AI research being done in both China and Silicon Valley.
But it is not clear how the software and hardware Baidu has developed compares with that of its rivals. Some analysts say it has done less testing, and therefore has less data to work with, than Google and Tesla. | Chinese internet giant Baidu has said it will share much of the technology it has created for its self-driving cars. | 39637972 | [

IS militants launched at least four suicide attacks, with reports saying at least 25 people were killed.
The first of the attacks was near the Turkish border crossing. It is thought to be the first fighting in that area.
The battle for Kobane has left hundreds of people dead and forced more than 200,000 to flee into Turkey.
The US-led coalition is supporting the town's defenders with air strikes.
Turkey has allowed some Kurdish fighters from Iraq to travel through its territory to assist in defending Kobane.
However, Turkey views Kurdish forces with suspicion, following a decade-long battle for autonomy by its own Kurdish minority.
IS controls large swathes of both Syria and neighbouring Iraq.
The militants have been trying to overrun Kobane for the past two months.
In the early stages, it looked as though the town's fall was only a matter of time. But the Kurdish fighters have defended tenaciously and kept hold of roughly half the town.
They have been supported by a small number of well-armed Iraqi Kurdish fighters, some other Syrian opposition units, and of course by the coalition air strikes.
The first suicide vehicle bomb targeted a Kurdish position close to the Turkish border at dawn on Saturday.
Kurdish sources said the bomber had crossed from Turkey, but Turkish officials denied this as "lies".
Clashes followed at the site of the attack and to the south-west of the town.
The UK-based activist group, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said there were three more suicide bombings - one an individual with a suicide vest and the other two vehicle bombs.
As the clashes intensified, there were reports that IS had brought up tanks to join the fighting.
Meanwhile two US-led air strikes were carried out against IS positions in the east of Kobane.
In all, 25 people were killed in the clashes, most of them IS fighters, reports said.
IS has captured parts of the town and dozens of villages in the area around it in an offensive lasting more than two months.
But it has met stiff resistance from local Kurdish fighters, who have held about half the town assisted by small numbers of Iraqi Kurds and Syrian Arabs, and backed by US-led air strikes. | Fighting has intensified in the besieged Syrian border town of Kobane, where Kurdish forces have been holding Islamic State at bay since September. | 30260834 | [

Llanberis Mountain Rescue was called out a record 43 times to Wales and England's highest peak in August - an increase it called "unsustainable".
Visit Wales' recent year of adventure campaign encouraged to visitors to "Find Your Epic".
The tourism body said the campaign was "an opportunity to promote safety".
Llanberis Mountain Rescue said many of those tackling the peak were unprepared in terms of knowledge and equipment, with many needing assistance.
Chairman of the team of volunteers, Rob Johnson, said "serious consideration" needed to be given to how the 3,560 ft (1,085m) peak was managed.
He said the drive to attract tourists contributed to an "unsustainable" rise in callouts - from 34 in August 2015 to 43 in August 2016.
The organisation relies on donations and about 1,000 volunteer hours were spent attending incidents - including an RAF helicopter crash landing.
He said many of the callouts were preventable and, with the right knowledge and equipment, they could have been avoided.
"We've attended a variety of incidents this summer but the most common have been lower-leg injuries, people too tired to continue and people crag-fast on Crib Goch," said Mr Johnson.
"It has been a massive commitment from a small group of volunteers."
Visit Wales, the Welsh Government's tourism team, said it encouraged visitors to participate in activities with accredited providers.
A spokeswoman added: "The year of adventure is also an opportunity to promote safety in the great outdoors.
"Mountain rescue teams do great work in helping people, but as the adventure sector continues to grow there is no doubt rescue teams will need the help of educators in minimising the risk of people needing their assistance.
"That's why we will continue to work with partners and the industry so that people can enjoy Wales and be safe." | A drive to attract tourists has led to an increase in ill-equipped walkers and climbers becoming stranded on Snowdon, rescuers have claimed. | 37275914 | [

Jonathan Platt successfully contested a fine from Isle of Wight Council for taking his young daughter on a family holiday to Florida in April.
He will now speak up on behalf of other parents when the council seeks High Court clarification on the law.
He is crowdfunding for £25,000 expected legal costs and raised more than £1,000 in the first 24 hours.
The father wrote on the fundraising page he would spend the money on "nothing other than legal fees for solicitors and barristers".
He added: "I will take nothing personally from the money, not even travelling costs."
Isle of Wight Council is asking the High Court for clarification on what constitutes "regular" attendance at school. As Mr Platt is a "person of interest" in the case, he has a right to attend.
He said he is arguing "on behalf of all parents".
Comments on the online crowdfunding page include: "Thank you for being our voice Jon, we are all behind you."
"Well done and good luck, let's hope common sense prevails."
Mr Platt took his children to Disneyland in Florida in April despite his daughter's absence being refused by her primary school.
The council took him to court after he refused to pay a £120 fine.
He won his case after he told magistrates that Section 444 of the Education Act did not put restrictions on holidays during term time, provided pupils otherwise attended school regularly.
The council has applied to the High Court for an opinion on whether "the unauthorised absence of a child for seven consecutive school days on holiday... amounts to the child failing to attend the school regularly". | A father is preparing for a High Court legal battle to give parents the right to take children on term-time holidays. | 34774274 | [

Jay Bell's actions on 26 July 2013 caused the infant to suffer brain bleeding, retinal haemorrhages and a broken rib and ankle.
As a result of the brain injury, the child suffers from cerebral palsy and is registered blind.
Bell, 23, from Mayfield in Dalkeith, last month admitted to two charges.
He pleaded guilty to culpable and reckless conduct towards the child to his severe injury, permanent impairment and to the danger of his life and a second charge of wilfully neglecting the baby and failing to seek medical attention for him.
Passing sentence at the High Court in Edinburgh on Thursday, judge Paul Arthurson QC described the offences as "extremely serious".
The baby did not receive hospital treatment for about two weeks and Bell took about five months to reveal what had happened to the child when he was in his care.
The court heard Bell threw the child in the air repeatedly but the baby hit his head on the wall, then hit a Moses basket and fell on the floor.
Bell then picked him up and shook him repeatedly until he began to cry.
The court heard the child was eventually admitted to the Royal Hospital for Sick Children on 10 August 2013 and it took Bell until December that year to disclose fully what had happened to the baby.
Had the child gone to hospital straight after suffering the brain injury, medical intervention may have limited the impact of that injury, the judge said.
Prosecutors accepted that while Bell's conduct was culpable and reckless, it lacked the "wicked intent" of an assault.
Defence counsel John Keenan said Bell never set out to harm the child.
He has shown remorse and is having "extreme difficulty" coming to terms with what happened, the solicitor advocate said.
The judge said Bell's culpability was at the lower end of the scale.
"I accept that while the consequences for the child were truly catastrophic, these were not intended by you," he told Bell.
"Nevertheless, taking into account your position of care and trust and the extreme vulnerability of the child, the only appropriate disposal for the offences is a substantial custodial one." | A Midlothian man who threw a baby in the air and shook him, causing him to suffer "catastrophic" injuries, has been jailed for four years. | 35775856 | [

Jean-Claude Juncker said the UK imposed no migration controls on eight central European and Baltic nations joining the EU in 2004 and the new proposals would "address the consequences" of that.
But he said the emergency brake would only apply in "exceptional cases".
Eurosceptics say it is ineffectual and could make the situation worse.
Speaking in the European Parliament, UKIP leader Nigel Farage said the plan was a "handbrake turn" by David Cameron.
The prime minister has hailed a plan to allow the UK to limit the amount of tax credits paid to new EU migrants for up to four years as one of the key elements of a draft package of reforms to the UK's membership of the EU - the details of which he will set out to the UK Parliament later.
He has said the emergency brake, which would take effect if it could be proven that high levels of migration were putting an extreme strain on the UK's benefits system, could be triggered almost immediately.
But many Tory MPs have criticised the plan, saying it is a watered-down version of the total four-year ban the PM was hoping for and that new migrants would still receive "graduated" rates of in-work benefits over the four year period and the full amount after that.
They are also unhappy that the brake would have to be approved by other EU nations and the UK could not apply it unilaterally.
Defending the proposals and the rest of the draft deal in the European Parliament, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said that the entire package - which must be approved by the EU as a whole, was "fair to the UK and fair to the other 27 EU states".
On welfare, he said: "We propose to create a safeguard mechanism tailor-made to the concerns of the UK, that would allow it to restrict the excess of EU workers newly entering its Labour market to in-work benefits in a graduated manner for a period of up to four years.
"The duration of the mechanism will be limited in time - that is a crucial characteristic of a safeguard mechanism, necessary to make it compatible with the (EU) treaties. It will apply in exceptional cases as all derogrations from the freedoms (of movement rules) should."
Mr Juncker pointed out that the then Labour government had had the option to introduce transitional controls on migration when countries such as Poland and Hungary entered the EU in 2004 but, unlike Germany, decided against doing so.
One of the most controversial decisions of Tony Blair's time in office, several former Labour ministers have since said it was a mistake and acknowledged the government hugely underestimated the number of people who would come to the UK.
Mr Juncker said "as a result" of that decision "over the past decade, the UK attracted a record number of mobile EU citizens". He added. "In effect, we will enable the UK to use the safeguards mechanism to address the consequences of that decision."
But UKIP leader Nigel Farage, also speaking in the European Parliament, said the safeguards were totally insubstantial and would not allow the UK to reduce levels of annual net migration, which rose to 336,000 in the year to June 2015.
"We have an emergency brake on migrants benefits. Wow. It was supposed to be a total ban on migrants benefits for four years. So it is hardly an emergency brake, it is more of a handbrake turn."
Mr Farage said Mr Cameron would not be able to get any further concessions out of the EU and the forthcoming referendum on the UK's future in the EU would be a battle between "vested self-interests and people power".
Former Belgian prime minister Guy Verhofstadt, who is now a leading MEP, suggested that if the UK voted to leave the EU, it would be a boost for Russia and China.
"I think Britain without Europe - ok it's a dwarf, let's be honest," he claimed.
"We Belgians, we know that we are dwarfs but maybe they're going to know it also. And at the other hand Europe without Great Britain, yes, doesn't count, is not a counterweight against China, against Russia, against the United States.
"It is Vladimir Putin, in fact, who wins in this game in the end because Putin likes a divided Europe." | Limiting in-work benefits to new EU arrivals will help tackle the effects of record migration to the UK since 2004, the EC's president has said. | 35481923 | [

The trunk road drops from 150m (492ft) to 20m (65ft) as it enters a valley at the braes in Caithness.
There have been accusations from business leaders and politicians that the problem with this section of the A9 was being "ignored".
Documents key to progressing the improvements have been published.
The documents, called made orders, are part of the process towards eventually appointing a contractor and then starting work in 2018, Transport Minister Humza Yousaf has said.
He added: "The Scottish government has been working to progress the much-needed improvements to the A9 at Berriedale Braes.
"The hairpin bend and steep hill at Berriedale Braes has presented drivers, in particular HGVs and other long vehicles, with a very challenging road to negotiate.
"Having got the go-ahead last December following the public local inquiry, we are now able to publish the made orders for the scheme as a clear signal of our commitment to deliver this scheme." | Construction of planned improvements to a challenging hairpin bend on the A9 at Berriedale Braes could begin next year, the Scottish government has said. | 39378777 | [

Andrew Rosindell, a Staffordshire bull terrier owner, said resources should be used to deal with any dangerous dogs, not just the four banned breeds.
His call follows the death on Thursday of three-year-old Dexter Neal, who was mauled by an American bulldog in Essex.
His uncle Ashley Coe wrote on Facebook of the "absolutely devastating loss".
Describing Dexter as his "darling nephew", he wrote in his post: "I can't even begin to describe the state we are all in."'
Mr Rosindell, MP for Romford, said the dog which attacked Dexter was not one of the breeds banned under the 1991 act, adding "You do need a complete review of this legislation. It's simply not effective."
Breeds banned by the act are pit bull terriers, the Japanese tosa, dogo Argentino and fila Brasileiro, types that have traditionally been bred for fighting.
The act also makes it an offence for an owner to allow any dog "to be dangerously out of control".
Mr Rosindell told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that he had long argued that the problem is not with the dogs but their owners.
"There are lots of breeds of dogs that can be just as dangerous as the ones listed in the Dangerous Dogs Act so to get rid of this legislation to replace it with a more flexible form of regulation means that the police and local authorities could then focus on where there is a known dangerous dog or an irresponsible owner," he told BBC Radio Four's Today programme.
"It is impossible for authorities to check every single dog [and owner]... but certainly if there's one incident then that dog and that owner would then have to be checked and warned, and if there's a second incident, then the authorities may want to take action.
"The dog is like a human being almost. If you treat it badly, if you train it to do bad things, if you torment it, it will become aggressive.
"The problem is they only really have powers to act on those four breeds so they waste a lot of time on dogs that aren't dangerous instead of dealing with the ones that are."
Just days before Dexter's death, David Ellam, 52, from Huddersfield, was attacked and killed by a dog which had been returned to its owner despite concerns that it was dangerous.
After his death, Caroline Kisko, Kennel Club Secretary, said she believed the act was "completely flawed".
"We've been given the idea that we are all secure because the Dangerous Dogs Act has vilified a certain type of dog and therefore, as long as they're illegal, we're all safe," she said.
"Any dog can be dangerous if it is wrongly handled and wrongly trained."
The Dangerous Dogs Act has been amended over time.
In 2014, sentencing guidelines in England and Wales were changed to raise the maximum jail sentence for a fatal dog attack from two years to 14.
The law was also extended to include attacks which happen on private property and the police and authorities were given powers to require owners to attend dog training classes or muzzle their dog in public.
A spokesman for the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs said: "Any dog can become dangerous if it is kept by irresponsible owners in the wrong environment which is why the Dangerous Dogs Act covers any type of dog that is dangerously out of control." | The Dangerous Dogs Act has "never really worked" because it only deals with certain breeds, a Tory MP has said as he called for a review of the law. | 37141437 | [

More than 90 others were wounded.
The man was held in Bayingolin prefecture, to the south of Urumqi. The other four suspects died in the attack, officials told Xinhua.
The authorities have announced a one-year campaign against militant violence in Xinjiang province, home to the Muslim Uighur minority.
Two vehicles drove into crowds at a market in Urumqi and threw explosives in Thursday's attack. One of the vehicles then blew up.
Previous reports had suggested all five suspects had died in the attack.
Xinhua quoted police as saying the men took part in "illegal religious activities" and "watched and listened to terrorist violence video and audio materials".
Xinjiang has seen a spate of attacks in recent years.
Beijing has blamed these - and other recent mass-casualty attacks - on Uighur separatists.
These include an attack in Beijing, where a car ploughed into pedestrians in Tiananmen Square, killing five people, and attacks at railway stations in Urumqi and Kunming.
China says it is pouring money into the Xinjiang region, but some Uighurs say their traditions and freedoms are being crushed. | Authorities in China say they have held a suspect over Thursday's attack on a market in Urumqi in Xinjiang province in which 39 people died. | 27554067 | [

The firm said it had signed a Letter of Intent to enter into exclusive negotiations with Liberty House Group.
More than 1,700 people are employed in the division, which has factories in Rotherham and Stocksbridge.
Steel union Community said it welcomed news of negotiations following "months of unnecessary stress and concern".
More on this and other South Yorkshire stories
The union's general secretary Roy Rickhuss said: "This is a positive step for the UK steel industry; however there remain huge challenges which government must address."
The union said it would be seeking urgent talks with Liberty House Group and would be asking what their plans were for investment, protecting jobs and providing decent pensions for members in retirement.
Tata Steel's UK boss Bimlendra Jha said the announcement was "an important step forward".
"We now look forward to working with Liberty on the due diligence and other work streams so that the sale can be successfully concluded," he said.
The Speciality Steels unit makes high-end components for the automotive, aerospace and oil industries.

MSPs on the Equalities and Human Rights Committee said more needed to be done to tackle the problem in schools.
Committee convener Christina McKelvie said it had heard "gut-wrenching" evidence from young people during its inquiry into the issue.
But she stressed there was already some "inspiring" work being done.
The committee's report said it had uncovered "a real sense that prejudice-based bullying is on the increase".
It concluded that racism "has made a resurgence", gender-based bullying and harassment "appears to be commonplace", and bullying towards young lesbian or gay people "is still prevalent".
The committee has made 29 recommendations, among them measures it wants the Scottish government to adopt in its forthcoming refreshed anti-bullying strategy.
These include a preventative approach to bullying, improved research to understand the extent and nature of the problem, mandatory recording of bullying incidents and more training for teachers.
The government and councils are also urged to "ensure that consent and healthy relationships be taught from the beginning of primary school in an age-appropriate manner to safeguard children" amid evidence of children as young as 12 being coerced into sexual activity.
The Scottish government welcomed the report and said it would consider its recommendations carefully.
The committee had spent eight months listening to evidence about bullying.
Ms McKelvie, an SNP MSP, said: "We heard some gut-wrenching and heartbreaking stories. One stark reminder of the reality faced by far too many bullied young people is that 27% of LGBT children have attempted suicide.
"But we have also heard of some inspiring and great practice going on around Scotland - and there are schools where bullying is now seen as not cool.
"We are trying to bottle that attitude change and roll it out across the whole country."
Susie McGuinness, a 19-year-old Glasgow University student, told her story of bullying and classroom harassment to MSPs while they were taking evidence for the report.
She said: "I know from my own experience that there are instances of girls who have been filmed being assaulted, and that there is footage of rape going around schools and not being reported or dealt with.
"People need to realise that sexual harassment and bullying of this nature is happening to girls aged 12 or 13. By primary 6, I was sitting in classes in which boys were taking it in turns to shout 'rape' the loudest and I'm not alone."
The children's commissioner for Scotland, Bruce Adamson, said the report was a "call to action" for the authorities.
"Bullying impacts children in a number of ways," he said.
"It cuts right to the heart of their identity and their human dignity but it also has an impact on their access to other rights - like their ability to have a full education, to engage in cultural activities to engage in playing.
"And as we've seen from this report, and some of the really powerful evidence given, it has a real impact on things like their health including their mental health.
"At the most extreme we see issues where it actually engages the right to life where a number of children, particularly children from the LGBTI community, have contemplated suicide - so this is a real call to action."
A Scottish government spokeswoman said it funds its national anti-bullying service, Respectme, to support children, young people and their parents.
She added: "Bullying of any kind is unacceptable.
"That is why it is important for all schools and local authorities to have anti-bullying policies in place and it is vital that local authorities and teachers challenge any racist, homophobic and abusive behaviour in our schools." | Human rights should be taught from the earliest age possible to change attitudes to bullying, according to a Holyrood committee. | 40506234 | [

The singer overcame a series of early hitches that looked like they might derail the set before it had got going.
He had to restart his first song three times and his second song once.
He's already cancelled a series of shows this year. Here, he relaxed after the stuttering start - although the downbeat performance split opinion.
Devotees loved the rare opportunity to connect with an idol whose unpredictability and vulnerability only makes him more precious.
But lots of fans drifted away during the set, especially during a disjointed and meandering first half.
He started half an hour late, which heightened the suspense about whether or not he would appear at all following his recent spate of cancellations.
He has scrapped festival appearances at Primavera in Spain, Hangout in Alabama and Sasquatch in Washington due to "production delays".
But he returned to the stage at Northside in Denmark on Friday and then in Manchester two days later.
He started the Parklife set with Solo, from last year's Blonde album, but stopped the song three times, at one point complaining about the chunky headphones he wore throughout the show.
After eventually making it to the end of that song, he moved into Chanel - but restarted that too despite having virtually made it to the end.
Things got a bit easier after that, and he ended up performing for one hour 15 minutes. | Frank Ocean, one of pop music's biggest enigmas, has played his first UK gig in three years as Sunday's headliner at the Parklife festival in Manchester. | 40245730 | [

The Microscope and its Revelations, by Dr William B Carpenter, was borrowed by former pupil Professor Arthur Boycott, who attended Hereford Cathedral School between 1886 and 1894.
It was discovered by his granddaughter Alice Gillett.
The school has promised to waive any fines - which based on the rate at Hereford Library of 17p a day, would have amounted to a staggering £7,446.

Mrs Gillett discovered the book while she was sorting through a collection of 6,000 books following the death of her husband earlier this year.
On discovering the HCS library stamp inside the book, Mrs Gillett, who lives near Taunton, decided to return it.
"I can't imagine how the school has managed without it," she said.
The book would have been of good use to young Boycott as he eventually graduated with first class honours in Natural Science and became a distinguished naturalist and pathologist. | An overdue school library book has finally been returned - 120 years late. | 38240845 | [

The teams came head-to-head in the FA Cup quarter-final, with Chelsea winning the match 1-0.
The action wasn't all on the pitch though.
Chelsea manager Antonio Conte and Mourinho argued throughout the game, and had to be separated by the assistant referee at one point.
Mourinho does, of course, have past history with Chelsea having been sacked by the club back in December 2015.
He started his new job with United in May 2016.
N'Golo Kante scored the only goal in the game.
The victory means the Blues could still win the double of the league and FA Cup.
The argument between the two bosses flared when United midfielder Ander Herrera was sent off for two yellow cards, leaving United to play for almost an hour with 10 men.

Lukasz Robert Pawlowski, 33, stabbed himself before Haverfordwest magistrates on 11 January.
On Monday, his case at Swansea Crown Court was adjourned for sentence until 6 March. He was remanded in custody.
Pawlowski, from Pembroke Dock, admitted possessing a knife and confirmed his earlier guilty plea to sexual assault.
Stuart John, defending, told the court Pawlowski, who spent six weeks in custody after his re-arrest at Swansea's Morriston Hospital, had not yet been assessed by psychiatrists.
Judge Paul Thomas said a report on the defendant was needed to assess his actions but "unfortunately" one could not be prepared for two weeks.
During the incident last month, witnesses were shocked when Pawlowski started making "frantic jabs" at his neck after returning to the dock from going to the toilet.
Paramedics were called and he was airlifted to hospital with what the ambulance service described as "serious" injuries.
Pawlowski appeared via video link for Monday's court hearing.
Judge Thomas said: "I don't want you to spend any more time in custody than you have to. But I can't make any promises." | A man who slit his own throat while in a dock awaiting sentence has admitted taking a kitchen knife into a magistrates' court in Pembrokeshire. | 39026267 | [

The US Geological Survey said the quake struck at 08:23 GMT, 420km (260 miles) north-west of the capital, Port Vila.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre said the threat of tsunami waves had now mostly passed.
The USGS said the quake was fairly shallow - at a depth of about 35km (21 miles) - but no damage had been reported so far.
The quake, originally measured at 7.2, struck in the north of Vanuatu off Espiritu Santo.
Quakes are fairly common in the region. Two similar sized tremors last October and December caused no damage.

The Scot, 29, is the first British singles player to reach top spot since computerised rankings began in 1973.
"I don't think Andy was ever going to settle for second best," former British number one Henman told BBC Radio 5 live's Sportsweek.
"Now he's reached number one I don't think for any moment in time he's going to take his foot off the gas."
Murray, who plays American John Isner in Sunday's Paris Masters final, will be confirmed as number one on Monday when the latest rankings are published.
"If Andy stays fit and healthy, I can see him being the dominant force going forward," Henman said.
"If you're going to put a number on it, you'd like him to get to 52 weeks at the top. Who knows from there?"

Murray ended Novak Djokovic's 122-week stint at the top of the world rankings after Milos Raonic withdrew from his Paris Masters semi-final against the Briton with an injury on Saturday.
His rise to the top comes after he claimed his second Wimbledon title in June, defended his Olympic singles title in Rio in August and helped Great Britain to their first Davis Cup win since 1936 last November.
"Playing in the toughest era there has ever been, for him to have three Grand Slams, two Olympic golds and now the world number one, it's an incredible achievement," Henman said.
"It's testament to his perseverance when you reflect over the last decade and you talk about those players he has been up against.
"I spoke to him on Saturday and he's so level-headed. He is able to keep a pretty even keel."
Jamie, the older of the two Murray brothers at 30, became the first Briton under the modern system to top the doubles rankings in March 2016.
He also claimed the mixed doubles title at Wimbledon in 2007, six years before his younger brother won his first singles title at the All England Club.
"For an average family from a small town (Dunblane) in Scotland, what they have managed to achieve is quite extraordinary," their mother Judy said.
"After we found out we were looking back over the years and talking about how Jamie had made number one first and won Wimbledon first. As the older brother, it was an order that was meant to be."
She added that the sport had "never been easy" for either player but that it had forced both players to work harder.
"This sport is very unforgiving, the circuit is relentless and the strength and depth in the men's game is huge.
"With tennis being a minority sport in Scotland you have to travel down south and they are long journeys.
"There's the expense, the time, leaving the social side. I'm glad it's been tough because it makes you work harder."

There were no big celebrations for Murray when the news was confirmed, according to coach Jamie Delgado.
"We just went for a nice dinner. There was no partying or drinking," Delgado added.
"It took time to sink in but it was a strange moment when Raonic came in and told us. We were silent and then there were huge congratulations." | Britain's Andy Murray will be the dominant force in tennis now he is world number one, Tim Henman says. | 37887919 | [

Guido Tognoni worked "extremely closely" with the Fifa president during Blatter's second term.
"In Fifa, for many years, you could only reach your goal by taking dollars in your hands," Tognoni told BBC Sport.
Fifa said investigations into such claims were ongoing and, as yet, there was no evidence of wrongdoing.
The bidding process for the 2018 and 2022 tournaments is the subject of a Swiss criminal investigation.
Asked if countries had any choice other than to bribe Fifa during the bidding process, Tognoni replied: "This speculation is permitted, yes."
Russia and Qatar deny wrongdoing, while Blatter has not been named in a separate US criminal investigation into widespread corruption at Fifa.
Domenico Scala, head of Fifa's audit and compliance committee, said if evidence emerges from either the US or Swiss investigations which shows the result was affected by bought votes, the "awards could be cancelled".
However, Tognoni, who was Blatter's right-hand man for a period in the mid-90s and again between 2001-2003, said he did not think the World Cups would be taken away from Russia or Qatar.
"Even if there is evidence that Fifa people were bribed, where is the problem? With Fifa, or the people who had no choice but to get the World Cup with bribing?"
In response, Fifa said in a statement on Monday: "Fifa initiated the investigation by the Swiss authorities precisely to answer questions such as this.
"However, while investigations are ongoing, it should be noted that to date, no evidence has come to light to suggest there are any legal grounds for rescinding the current Fifa World Cup selections."
Seven senior Fifa officials were arrested last month in high-profile dawn raids at a Zurich hotel, where they had been staying before the presidential election.
They are among 14 people charged by US prosecutors, who allege that bribes and kickbacks of more than $150m (£100m) were accepted over a 24-year period.
Blatter, Fifa president since 1998, was re-elected at the Zurich meeting but announced four days later that he would resign amid the corruption allegations engulfing the organisation.
American lawyer Michael Garcia was previously hired by Fifa to investigate the 2018 and 2022 World Cup bidding processes, but he complained that the published summary of his 430-page report was an "erroneous" representation of his work.
The report cleared World Cup hosts Russia and Qatar of wrongdoing.
Garcia quit weeks later over Fifa's handling of his inquiry and his comments reopened the debate about the validity of the bidding process.
Scala has since had Garcia's report reviewed by legal experts, from both in and outside of sport, but neither were able to find grounds to alter the award of either tournament at this stage. | Russia and Qatar may have had to pay bribes to secure their World Cups, Sepp Blatter's former special advisor has suggested. | 33044932 | [

US universities are still the most dominant international force in the Times Higher Education rankings.
In top place, as last year, is the California Institute of Technology.
In the UK there are concerns that, outside Oxford, Cambridge and London colleges, many major universities are slipping down international rankings.
The so-called "golden triangle" of UK universities - Oxford, Cambridge and leading London institutions - is seen as a breakaway elite group, with these universities consolidating their international reputations.
Imperial College, University College London, LSE and King's College London are all in the top 40. London has more universities in this league table than all of Japan, although only Imperial College makes the top 10.
Phil Baty, editor of the rankings, says this is part of a global pattern of clustering of "excellent universities". Boston in the US has eight universities in the top 200, more than entire countries such as China, Switzerland and Australia.

But there are warnings from the rankings organisation that prominent UK regional universities are falling away.
Edinburgh, Manchester, Bristol, Sheffield, Warwick, Southampton, Nottingham and Newcastle are all seen as going downwards against international rivals.
However the University of Leicester has risen sharply, which has been described as the "Richard III effect", after the high-profile research associated with the discovery of the body of the medieval king.
This is described by the Times Higher Education rankings as showing that "power is draining from the UK regions".
The top 20 still reflects the dominance of wealthy US university powerhouses, taking 15 of the top 20 places, with institutions such Harvard, MIT and Stanford in the leading pack behind the California Institute of Technology.
The highest UK university is Oxford and the highest ranked continental European university is ETH Zurich in Switzerland, which is also the only non-English speaking university in the top 20.
"No university can rest on its laurels. No-one is guaranteed to retain a top-200 place when the US, Far East and others are investing in research so heavily," said Sir David Bell, vice-chancellor of Reading University, which has fallen from 176th to 194th place.
"There are some dramatic year-on-year rises and falls this year, so we should be careful not to read too much into a single set of figures."
"It is no surprise that a small number of UK universities at the very top end will remain more stable, with others more likely to fluctuate."
Sir Christopher Snowden, president of Universities UK, said the rankings showed that the UK had "the second-strongest university system in the world after the US".
"What is clear, however, is that the UK must continue to invest in higher education if we are to maintain this global competitiveness." | London has four universities in the top 40 of a global league table - more than any other individual city - although only one makes the top 10. | 24367153 | [

In a statement, the company said the move will hit next year's profit by about £15m.
In addition, if the pound averages $1.20 over the financial year, it may lose another £20m.
Overnight on Friday the pound temporarily plunged by 6%, in a flash crash that is thought to have been triggered by automated trading.
Shares in Sports Direct closed down 9% on Friday.
The company had expected to report underlying profit of £300m based on the pound trading at $1.30 against the dollar.
However, the retailer said that "extreme movements overnight" would result "in a negative impact of approximately £15m" on its results for the current financial year.
The swings overnight hit the company's hedging arrangements, which are designed to protect a business against volatile currency prices.
It also sustained a large loss in its last financial year because of currency movements.
In that case, because of a fall in the value of the pound against the euro, it took a £65m hit.
As a result, Sports Direct reported underlying earnings of £381.4m for the year to 24 April against expectations of £420m, resulting in staff missing out on a bonus.
It has been a tumultuous year for Sports Direct which has been criticised for working conditions at its Shirebrook distribution centre. Most recently, its chief executive Dave Forsey stepped down and was replaced by Mike Ashley, the founder and majority shareholder of the retail chain.
The company has an acting finance director after its former financial chief Bob Mellors stepped down in December 2013 after a decade with the business.

Arek Jozwik, 39, was attacked in Harlow, Essex, last month. Two Polish men were assaulted in the town a few days later at a vigil for Mr Jozwik.
Polish officers are there to "reassure the community", Essex Police said.
Essex's police commissioner said there had been an increase in people saying "rude things to people who aren't British" since the Brexit vote.
Police and Crime Commissioner Roger Hirst told the BBC: "I think there's certainly a swell of opinion... that wasn't there a few months ago. It seems to coincide with the Brexit vote."

The officers - 2nd Lieutenant Bartosz Czernicki and Chief Sergeant Dariusz Tybura - will be working in the town for seven days "on the community engagement side, to meet and greet the public and to reassure the community," he said.
Ch Insp Alan Ray, from Essex Police, said some people told him: 'We don't trust police officers... from our experience from Poland.
"Others are saying, 'we welcome these Polish police officers in'."
Mr Jozwik died from head injuries on 29 August, two days after he was believed to have been knocked to the floor by a single punch in The Stow, Harlow.
The presence of the Polish officers was "about reassurance in all communities", Ch Insp Ray said.
"There is a fear of Polish police and there is a fear of English police, and that comes from all different communities. Some people will trust us, some people won't."

The 27-year-old, who has won the women's World Cup and Olympic gold with her country, will join the French club on loan from NWSL side Orlando Pride.
Morgan said the decision to leave "wasn't easy" but she hoped the move "pushes my game to another level".
She said she plans on returning to Orlando in June but Lyon say there is an option for another year in the deal.
Lyon won the treble of Champions League, French league and French cup last season, and club president Jean-Michel Aulas said Morgan's signing proved their desire to "invest at the highest level".
The NWSL season runs from April to September, while the French season is from September to May.
Morgan, who has scored 73 goals in 120 games for the US, was in 2015 the best-paid player in women's football, with her estimated earnings reaching £1.9m with endorsements. In the same year, she appeared alongside Barcelona forward Lionel Messi on the cover of the Fifa 16 video game in North America.
"I'm in my prime right now, but my prime isn't going to last forever," she wrote in a blog post at The Players' Tribune.
She added: "I'm not looking to coast. Just going through the motions isn't something I'll ever be comfortable with. I want to be the best player in the United States, the best player in the world so I've decided to take a huge risk and bet on myself.
"After a few weeks of deliberation, I finally made this decision during a belated honeymoon that I recently took with my husband, Servando, in Europe.
"I will be leaving Servando and my family - and our dog, Blue - behind, and I know from years of experience that phone calls and FaceTime are not a fun way to stay connected.
"I know, too, that the Pride and our incredible fans will be opening a state-of-the-art new stadium without me, and that I will miss the early part of the season. All of those things made it very difficult for me to make this decision.
"But my motivation is pretty simple. I hope that training with these incredible athletes each day, and learning a unique style of play, is exactly what I need, and that it will help me find that next gear." | United States striker Alex Morgan will move to reigning European champions Lyon for six months from January. | 38384739 | [

It is a direct quote from the man himself and reads: "I leave an institution that has the potential to reach broad audiences across the UK and abroad, through its own programmes, partnerships and online."
It's that word "potential" that sticks out. What does he mean "potential"?
He's talking about an institution that has developed - on his watch - from a well respected but modestly visited gallery in Pimlico to an international art megabrand boasting the most visited museum of modern art in the world (Tate Modern), two hugely popular regional galleries, a country-wide network of partnerships and a lending programme that sees Tate's collection of British art presented in major museums from Beijing to Boston.
By most people's reckoning, Nicholas Serota has already delivered on Tate's "potential".
But clearly, he doesn't see it that way, which is the measure of the man and an insight into why he has made such a success of his time at Tate. He doesn't do complacency.
His comment about "potential" reflects three aspects to his character: a predisposition not to blow his own trumpet, a relentless drive, and a challenging nature.
He doesn't want the next incumbent to think he or she has an easy ride: there is work to be done. He might be leaving, but he's setting the agenda before he goes.
And who might that person be to come in and realise Tate's "potential"?
The front-runner I reckon is Maria Balshaw, who has done a splendid job as the boss of the Whitworth in Manchester, a role she's coupled with being leader of the city's cultural programme.
Then there's Iwona Blazwick, the long-serving director of the Whitechapel Gallery in east London, who helped shape Tate Modern's curatorial philosophy when she was working for the gallery in the late '90s. She has long been tipped as Serota's successor, and the path from Whitechapel to Tate is the one he took.
Of the internal candidates, the most obvious is Frances Morris, but she has only just taken on the job as director of Tate Modern. The recently departed Jessica Morgan could also be a contender, but again, she has barely settled into her role as the boss at the DIA Art Foundation.
The search team is bound to look further afield. Klaus Biesenbach from MoMA PS1 might get a call, as could super-curator Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev, and quite possibly Michael Govan of the LA County Museum.
Finally, Tim Marlow from the Royal Academy and Matthew Slotover, the co-founder of Frieze, are both notable figures who could bring something new to the party. | There is one sentence in the press release announcing Nicholas Serota's departure from Tate that stands out. | 37307441 | [

Archaeologists working with the Ministry of Defence, which is building hundreds of military homes at Larkhill, made the discovery.
The site was used to emulate conditions soldiers would face in trenches in France and Belgium during the war.
More than 100 pieces of graffiti have been uncovered in the chalk walls of the trenches and tunnels.
Soldiers training on the site who left their names include decorated heroes and one recorded deserter.
The names feature Wiltshire men as well as West Yorkshire coal miners, and two brothers wrote "Semper Fidelis" (Ever Faithful) beneath their signatures.
Archaeologist Si Cleggett, who described the Larkhill excavation as "unique", said: "It has been a humbling experience to stand and read the names of young soldiers in the very spaces they occupied before leaving for war.
"Having stood in their footprints a century after their time at Larkhill, we really will remember them."
Training relics such as grenades, ammunition and food tins were also found.
The Australian 3rd Division infantry trained on Salisbury Plain in 1916 and the dig uncovered a chalk plaque inscribed with the names of Australian bombers - soldiers specially trained to use hand grenades.
One name is Private Lawrence Carthage Weathers, who won the Victoria Cross in September 1918 for attacking a machine gun post with grenades, capturing it and taking 180 prisoners.
Steve White, of building contractors GABLE, said the Larkhill tunnels project "represented a unique opportunity to be a part of a story of unprecedented archaeological significance".

Hartley's team won a thrilling third Test 44-40 in Sydney on Saturday to complete a series whitewash.
"We have scored 44 points and not played perfectly so there is still a lot to work on," said Hartley.
"We weren't at our best and we had a number of players sub-par," added England coach Eddie Jones.
England had never won a series in Australia, but they followed a 39-28 victory in the first Test in Brisbane with a 23-7 triumph in Melbourne before completing the job in Sydney.
Jones has guided them to nine successive wins, including the Grand Slam in the Six Nations, since replacing Stuart Lancaster in November after hosts England failed to get past the group phase of the 2015 Rugby World Cup.
Australia reached the final of that tournament, but England have since moved above them to second in the world rankings, behind only World Cup winners New Zealand.

However, Hartley thinks his side can improve further.
"It's been a long season - we didn't want to use this as an excuse but it was evident out there," he added. "Australia threw everything at us, but it was great character by the guys to hang in there and close it out.
"It was our last 80 minutes of the season and I'm proud of how the guys conducted themselves. We have made some history. We put everything into it, can be proud of what we have achieved and will enjoy it.
"We put a lot of pressure on ourselves to play the perfect game and we can all agree it wasn't perfect."
Australian Jones agreed with his captain that his side would need to improve if they were to move above New Zealand.
"That was a brave effort to beat a very good and determined Australian side,'' said Jones.
"We're pleased with the 3-0 result, but realise we've got a lot of work to do.
"We're inconsistent in our defence, we've had two poor games in defence and one very good game and if we want to be the number one team in the world then we need greater consistency.''
England fly-half Owen Farrell kicked 24 points in the third Test and Jones said: "Owen has been absolutely terrific on tour. He's kicked well and played well - his kicking is solar-system class.
"The players have been training since June last year. They haven't had a weekend off. That is a fantastic effort.
"To win that game was a superb effort. They showed fitness, toughness and were brave."
Australia coach Michael Cheika felt his side had wasted a good chance to claim a victory in Sydney.
"There were too many little inaccuracies after really good build-ups," he said. "In two matches we scored more tries and you can't say: 'Oh well, we should have won because we scored more tries.'
"We lost because we made too many little inaccuracies. we lost too many moments in the game and that cut off our flow."

Out of nearly 12,000 fans, 52% were in favour and 48% against a game which would raise funds for the Ladies' team and a final decision will now be made.
The match would be the final public game at Upton Park but some fans want the Premier League win over Manchester United to be the last at the stadium.

The 37-year-old wheelchair racer, who won four gold medals at the London Paralympics, announced his retirement from track racing after an unsuccessful Paralympic Games in Rio last year.
He said April's London Marathon would be his final road race.
British Athletics says it is puzzled by Weir's comments, which came in a series of tweets on Tuesday.
"I have just retired from GB. I will still be at the London Marathon this year," wrote Weir.
A six-time world champion, he said he felt like he had been "stabbed in the back" after he crashed out of the marathon in Rio, his last ever Paralympic event.
The BBC has attempted to contact him for comment. | Six-time Paralympic champion David Weir says he will never wear a Great Britain vest again, adding he feels "let down". | 38651444 | [

Redmond, an England Under-21 international, has agreed a five-year contract with the Saints.
Norwich, who were relegated from the Premier League in May, signed the 22-year-old from Birmingham City for £3.2m in July 2013.
"They like to play attacking football and it's a style I feel I can really fit in well with," Redmond said.
"When Southampton said they were interested, it felt like the right move for me. I can develop my game here."
Birmingham-born Redmond made 122 appearances and scored 13 goals during his three-year spell with Norwich.
Redmond has played at every youth level for England, playing alongside Saints trio James Ward-Prowse, Jack Stephens and Matt Targett for England Under-21s at the Toulon Tournament earlier this summer.

The Czech is playing in only her second tournament since she was stabbed by an intruder at her home in December.
The two-time Wimbledon champion, 27, returned at last month's French Open, where she reached the second round.
Kvitova will play fellow Czech Lucie Safarova in Saturday's semi-final.
Seventh seed Kvitova was dominant in Friday's first set but was broken as she served for the match, before winning it on a tie-break.
"Both of us play really fast on this surface," she said. "The grass suits her game as well, so it was about one or two key breaks in the match."
Safarova came through a marathon contest with Australian Daria Gavrilova, triumphing 6-7 (4-7) 6-3 7-6 (7-5).
Sixth seed Garbine Muguruza is also through, after Coco Vandeweghe retired from their quarter-final with the score tied at one set all.
She will next meet either Australian Ashleigh Barty or Camila Giorgi of Italy. | Petra Kvitova reached the semi-finals of the Aegon Classic with a 6-4 7-6 (7-5) win over France's Kristina Mladenovic as she continues her return from a career-threatening hand injury. | 40388184 | [

Brazil's Attorney-General, Rodrigo Janot, has asked the Supreme Court to open an investigation into Lula's alleged involvement in the multi-billion dollar scandal that has already seen dozens of lawmakers arrested.
Here we look at the accusations in more detail and how the once popular ex-leader came to be linked to the allegations.
At this stage, few details of the accusations against Lula are known as neither the Attorney-General's office nor the Supreme Court have made them public.
What is certain is they are connected to Operation Car Wash, an investigation into a multi-billion dollar kickback scheme at state-oil company Petrobras.
Investigators say that starting in 2003, construction companies formed a cartel to overcharge Petrobras for building contracts.
They would then pay part of their windfall to Petrobras executives and politicians who were in on the deal.
Prosecutors allege that the Workers' Party, of which both Lula and current President Dilma Rousseff are members, partly financed its campaigns and expenses through these kickbacks.
Sao Paulo newspaper Folha quoted Attorney-General Janot as saying that the kickback scheme "could never have functioned for so many years and in such a broad and aggressive form under the federal government without the participation of ex-president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva".
Lula, who governed from 2003 to 2011, has denied the allegations.
At this stage, we do not know what the evidence against Lula is. Local media have reported that the Attorney-General has sent several folders of documents to the Supreme Court.
Nor is it known what the exact charges against Lula could be. Newspaper Estado de Sao Paulo reports that Mr Janot would charge Lula with obstruction of justice.
The newspaper says that the former leader is suspected of hampering Operation Car Wash, the investigation into corruption at Petrobras.
According to the daily, the Attorney-General will cite President Rousseff's nomination of Lula as her chief of staff as evidence that Lula and Ms Rousseff tried to obstruct justice.
Under Brazilian law, members of the cabinet can only be investigated by the country's highest court.
Lula was sworn in as chief of staff in March, but a judge suspended the nomination within an hour, arguing that it was a move to shield Lula from possible prosecution by the federal judge investigating the Petrobras scandal.
The country's Supreme Court has yet to rule on whether Lula will be able to take up his post or not.
The Attorney-General's move is based on testimony given by Senator Delcidio do Amaral as part of a plea bargain, according to Brazilian media.
Mr Amaral of the governing Workers' Party was arrested in November on charges of obstructing justice, the first sitting senator to be arrested in Brazilian history.
He is accused of trying to help former Petrobras executive Nestor Cervero flee the country. Cervero was jailed for being the mastermind of the Petrobras corruption scandal.
Mr Amaral has been collaborating with the authorities.
His testimony also prompted the Attorney-General to request the launch of an investigation into former presidential candidate Aecio Neves.
Mr Neves lost to Ms Rousseff in the 2014 presidential race.
Yes, police took the ex-president for questioning on 4 March.
The officers escorting Lula to the police station were acting under a judge's order called a "conducao coercitiva" (bench warrant) which means that a person is commanded to appear before authorities to give testimony.
Police also searched his house in Sao Bernardo, the offices of the Lula Institute - a non-governmental organisation founded by the ex-leader - and the homes of some of his family members and associates.
In total, 200 police officers enforced 33 search and 11 arrest warrants at locations in three Brazilian states.
While the allegations were related to the Petrobras kickbacks scheme, they focussed specifically on two properties allegedly owned by Lula's family.
Prosecutors alleged that Lula had received "illicit benefits", such as having one of the construction firms involved in the Petrobras scandal renovate a luxury beachfront apartment and a ranch for his family.
They said that "the suspicion is that the improvements and the properties are bribes derived from the illegal gains made by OAS [construction firm] in the Petrobras graft scheme".
Investigators said they also had evidence that in 2014 the ex-president received at least $270,000 (£190,000) worth of furniture and improvements for the beachfront apartment in Guaruja.
They said they were also looking into sums paid to Lula by construction firms involved in the scandal as donations or speaking fees.
Lula denied any wrongdoing.
Lula was the political mentor of current President Dilma Rousseff and remains close to Ms Rousseff, who nominated him as her chief of staff in March.
Ms Rousseff is currently facing impeachment proceedings over allegations she manipulated government accounts prior to her re-election in 2014.
But up until now, she has not been linked to the Petrobras corruption scandal, even though some of her critics have questioned how she could not have been aware of such a wide-ranging kickback scheme while she held a senior position at the oil giant.
Ms Rousseff chaired the Petrobras board of directors from 2003 to 2010.
If her close friend and mentor Lula were to be charged, pressure on the president would increase massively at an already difficult time in her political career, | The former president of Brazil, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, has been accused of playing a key role in a huge corruption scandal involving state-oil company Petrobras. | 35728124 | [

Although Gillian McCusker had fallen out with Rachel and Nyomi Fee just before the two-year-old's death she had been very close friends with the pair.
She said she never suspected any wrongdoing during the time she knew the Fees.
The couple were convicted of killing Liam at his Fife home in March 2014.
They had blamed another boy for the murder.
Ms McCusker said she would now change a "friends forever" tattoo, that she had done with the Fees, so she would not have a daily reminder of the women.
She said: "I was shocked, totally shocked when everything happened.
"I looked out of my window and I saw a load of ambulances and I saw them standing in the street shouting 'help'.
"I didn't know what to do at the time as we weren't talking."
Ms McCusker said she regretted that "nothing" could be done now that Liam was gone.
Ms McCusker said that when she went into the Fee's house to feed their snakes when they were on holiday in St Andrews there was "nothing out of place" to make her suspect the pair were doing harm.
She said: "They are going to be in jail for sometime but they don't even deserve a place in prison because they are still going to get everything paid for them and they are still going to get every day of their lives.
"It's not fair because they are going to come out and they are still going to have their own lives to lead and little Liam, where is he? Nowhere.
"He's not got a life. So it's never going to be enough, never."
She said there was nothing she could have done to stop the couple as she was unaware there were any problems.
The former friend also said she did not think social services could have done any more to help the children. | A former friend of the women who murdered toddler Liam Fee has told the BBC that "no sentence" could ever be enough for their crimes. | 36717172 | [

Riham Dawabsha suffered severe burns to 90% of her body in the July attack, blamed on Israeli settlers.
Ali, her 18-month-old son, died during the attack while her husband, Saad, succumbed to his injuries a week later.
The deaths provoked international condemnation. So far no suspects have been arrested.
The Dawabsha family's home was one of two houses in the village of Duma set on fire and daubed with slogans in Hebrew, including the word "revenge".
Another son remains in hospital.
Riham's body is expected to be returned from the Israeli hospital where she was being treated to the Palestinian authorities in the occupied West Bank.
Palestinians have accused Jewish settlers of carrying out the attack; Israel has not said whether it holds settlers responsible, and an investigation is ongoing.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called the attack an act of terrorism and has said every effort will be made to catch the culprits
After the attack, the Israeli government announced new measures to combat vigilante Jewish groups who attack Palestinians and their property, including administrative detention for extremists.
A number of detentions have been made but none in direct connection with the firebombing in Duma. | A Palestinian woman has died of injuries she sustained during an arson attack on her home in the West Bank that killed her husband and infant son. | 34171159 | [

A 20-year-old man was with a male friend in Old Rutherglen Road when another man attacked him with a weapon at about 13:05 on 22 September.
The victim was treated in hospital for a leg injury.
Detectives believe the man in the images may be able to help with their inquiry. He is described as white, aged about 20, with short brown hair.
At the time of the incident, he was wearing a tracksuit top that was white at the front and light blue at the back, dark tracksuit trousers and dark trainers.
He was last seen walking on Caledonia Road towards Cathcart Road.
Det Con Nicol McPherson said: "This was a violent attack that took place in broad daylight which left this man with a serious leg injury.
"I would urge anyone who recognises the man in the images, or who has information that may assist the investigation to contact Cathcart Police Office." | Police have released CCTV images of a man they want to trace over a "violent attack" in the Gorbals area of Glasgow. | 38168399 | [

The daily Yeni Safak said its offices and those of Yeni Akit were attacked. No casualties were reported.
It said four masked assailants attacked the Yeni Safak building. Firefighters quickly extinguished the blaze.
Police have cordoned off the area around the building.
The two papers support the governing AK Party of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
The Yeni Akit offices are 20km (12 miles) away from the Yeni Safak building, and the night-time attacks happened almost at the same time, early on Thursday.
Windows in both buildings were shattered by the gunfire, Istanbul police said.
"Numerous spent bullet casings were also found at both scenes," the police added. They are now hunting the assailants.
So far no group has claimed it was behind the attacks.
Last September, pro-government protesters attacked the offices of the daily Hurriyet, accusing the paper of misquoting President Erdogan. | Unidentified assailants have hurled petrol bombs and fired shots at the Istanbul offices of two staunchly pro-government Turkish newspapers, the papers and the police say. | 35548510 | [

Lizzie Mould, from Bristol University, was challenged by Gloucestershire firm Snow Business to come up with a "green" realistic snow for film and television.
It took her two years and a "few hundred attempts" but now her new snow liquids are being sold to the industry.
Ms Mould, said: "To say that seeing the products on the market is rewarding would be an understatement."
The Stroud-based company which specialises in fake snow and ice effects, has previously worked on James Bond film Spectre, Avengers: Age of Ultron and Star Wars VII: The Force Awakens.
But in a bid to create a "really good snow effect" which was "robust in different climates", environmentally friendly and would not damage people's skin or leave a residue - they approached the university.
"I must have made hundreds of formulations. before we got to where we are today," said Ms Mould, who has now been offered a full-time job with the firm.
"The original plan was just to make one fluid but by the end of my project we had two which both worked really well."
Recently launched to the industry, Paul Denney, from the company, said as far as they know the new liquids are "the most environmentally friendly falling snow products in the world".
"We had looked at developing the product ourselves but the chemistry involved was beyond our capabilities, which is why we approached the University of Bristol," he said.
"We weren't totally sure what Lizzie would be able to do, especially as we had a long wish list of characteristics but she's really come up trumps and surpassed all our expectations." | A chemistry student has created "the most environmentally-friendly" fake snow, as part of her research. | 36793380 | [

The 26-year-old was injured in last week's win over Exeter.
Director of rugby Richard Cockerill told BBC Radio Leicester: "With eight weeks of the season to go that is probably the last we will see of him."
Meanwhile, scrum-half Sam Harrison, 24, has signed a new deal, but the length of the contract has not been revealed.
Benjamin has been plagued by injuries since signing from Worcester in 2012, suffering a serious neck injury which delayed his first-team debut by 15 months.
He also sustained a knee injury that ruled him out for four months last term.
But Cockerill said: "It is certainly not too serious and he will make a full recovery in the next eight to 10 weeks." | Leicester Tigers winger Miles Benjamin is likely to be out for the rest of the season because of a knee injury, reports BBC Radio Leicester. | 32148941 | [

Dozens of others were injured in the explosion early on Sunday.
The bomber struck at the entrance of the city's main port facilities. Residents say the blast could be heard across Mogadishu.
No group has said it carried out the attack, but the Somali Islamist group al-Shabab often carries out such bombings in the capital.
"We assisted 48 wounded people and carried 16 others who were killed in the blast," said Abdikadir Abdirahman Adem, head Mogadishu's Amin ambulance service.
The death toll is expected to rise further. | A suicide car bomber has killed at least 16 people in the Somali capital Mogadishu, officials say. | 38279745 | [

Killie moved eight points clear of bottom side Dundee United with a 3-0 win over St Johnstone on Saturday.
With five games matches remaining, the target is to make ground on Hamilton who are four points better off.
"Rangers are coming up and, if Hibs manage it too, then the league gets it's wow factor back," said Clark.
"You want to be part of that and it gives me the chance to attract the kind of players I would like to make sure the club isn't in this situation again.
"The club has been dicing with survival for many seasons and that needs to change."
Clark, 43, arrived at Rugby Park in mid-February on a three-and-a-half-year contract.
The former Blackpool and Huddersfield boss went six games without a victory, with the team scoring just one goal, before a Kris Boyd double helped see off St Johnstone.
Kallum Higginbotham was also on target in a comprehensive victory.

"We'd been creating chances, so it was never an issue," Clark told BBC Scotland. "It was just getting the players to have the confidence to take more risks and finish off those chances.
"In previous games I'd been pleased with our level of performance. There was only one indifferent performance against Ross County when we weren't at the required standard.
"I knew, with a little bit of luck in front of goal, that the results would come.
"We had Hearts, Aberdeen and Celtic in that run and we should have taken points in those games.
"We've got one (win) but we still need a few more."
With Clark arriving after the transfer window, his recruitment has been restricted but he has managed to bring in Julien Faubert, along with Miles Addison and Alex Henshall.
"I felt we lacked pace and power and that's what I've tried to address in the out of contract market," said the former Newcastle and Fulham midfielder.
"When I came through the door we had one of the worst defensive records in the league.
"You've got to start from the back and we've been stronger. We've had three clean sheets.
"We need to start scoring more and hopefully Saturday is the start." | Manager Lee Clark is urging Kilmarnock to build on the first win of his tenure and make sure they are part of an exciting top flight next season. | 36020378 | [

The London-born, USA-raised 21-year-old will count as a foreign import because of his overseas junior development.
"My dad loves it," he said. "It's different from soccer, but he loves the intensity of it.
"He's only an hour and a half away, so he'll be able to get to watch me play more than he's ever done."
Asked whether his football-mad dad, a former Brentford trialist and passionate Celtic and Scotland fan, understands the game, Stewart added: "I've told him that, whenever we score, or the opposition score, he's just got to make sure he cheers for the right team."
"Liam is a very important signing for us," said Blaze head coach Danny Stewart. "He adds to our depth which will be crucial next season."
Blaze, who won the Elite League five times in eight seasons between 2003 and 2010, finished sixth last season.
Liam Stewart first developed an interest in ice hockey after moving to America to live with his mother in Southern California at the age of three.
He played at a junior level with the Spokane Chiefs, before making two play-off appearances for the Quad City Mallards, and then making 13 appearances last season for the Alaska Aces.
"I was there for a couple of months before I got injured," he said. "The injury is fully recovered now and I am itching to get back on the ice to start the season." | Elite League side Coventry Blaze have signed Liam Stewart, son of music legend Rod and former model Rachel Hunter, for the 2016-17 season. | 36323920 | [

The 19-year-old from Dublin is a competitive runner - but her chronic epilepsy means she has around 16 seizures a day, often during races.
When other competitors see her fall to the ground, they naturally believe she needs to go to hospital - even though she normally recovers immediately and in her case, there's no need for medical intervention.
Even though she's grateful for the public response, all Katie wants to do is carry on running.
When she told the neurologist who's treating her condition, he offered to become her running partner - and together they've become a marathon-running team.

Key football officials met in Doha to discuss a number of options following fears a summer event would endanger the health of players and fans.
Summer temperatures in Qatar can exceed 40C while those in November and December drop to around 25C.
Tuesday's recommendation is expected to be ratified by Fifa's executive committee in Zurich on 19 and 20 March.
Taskforce chief Sheikh Salman bin Ebrahim Al-Khalifa also recommended that the 2022 tournament should be shortened by a few days.
There has already been speculation that the tournament could start on 26 November and end on 23 December.
However, Fifa has already said there are no plans to reduce the size of the tournament from 32 teams or 64 matches.
The other dates under consideration were May and January-February.
Fifa said a number of options had been discussed but felt that November-December was the best one because:

Fifa general secretary Jerome Valcke said there were "pros and cons" for all options but said the "one solution" was November and December.
Sheikh Salman added: "We are very pleased that, after careful consideration of the various opinions and detailed discussions with all stakeholders, we have identified what we believe to be the best solution for the 2018-2024 international match calendar and football in general."
Fifa vice-president Jim Boyce said moving the World Cup to the winter was "common sense" but that a final on 23 December would be too close to Christmas and Britain's traditional festive matches.
"That's the only reservation I would have and I would like it a week earlier," said Boyce. "But I want to wait until the Fifa executive committee meeting to hear all the details about the dates."
Football Association chairman Greg Dyke said he would do all it could to protect the traditional festive period for club matches.
That stance was echoed by Richard Scudamore, chief executive of the English Premier League. "We've got to make sure we keep the Christmas and New year programme intact," he said.
Not so much a shock, more "the day many in football had feared", according to BBC sports editor Dan Roan.
"Despite rampant opposition, Fifa says this unprecedented break with tradition is in the interests of players and fans," he said. "But the ramifications are considerable, causing havoc for fixture calendars in an estimated 50 countries.
"Here in Qatar, this feels like the moment when the build-up towards 2022 can really begin and many will welcome Fifa asserting their power over the top clubs in the interests of a first World Cup in the Middle East.
"It also compounds the controversy that surrounded a host nation dogged by allegations of corruption and the abuse of migrant workers. The rifts that already divide the sport today feel wider than ever."
BBC Radio 5 live's sports news correspondent Richard Conway said Europe's leading leagues and clubs would be disappointed after losing "this argument" but indicated the row over dates would rumble on.
Richard Scudamore, chief executive of the English Premier League, indicated the matter was far from settled.
"Clearly there is still time within the process to consider our position further, but first we will consult with our clubs, other stakeholders in English football and other leagues before deciding on what, if any, further action might be appropriate or worthwhile," he said.
Dan Roan added: "The debate surrounding the timing of the 2022 World Cup set the world's richest leagues on a collision course with Fifa. Europe's clubs will now seek compensation for the disruption caused."
Fifa vice-president Jim Boyce said a tournament in November and December would "cause a lot of disruption" but added: "It is eight years away and people should have enough time to make it work."
However, Peter Coates, chairman of English Premier League side Stoke City, described the situation as a "disaster".
He told BBC Radio 5 live: "The only saving grace is that we don't have to think about it for a long time. It couldn't be more disruptive."
Greg Dyke said the best option would be to move the World Cup from Qatar but that November-December was "the best of the bad options".
English football's Premier League strongly opposed a winter tournament given the disruption it would cause to the title run-in and the hole it would create in the schedules of its broadcast partners.
A World Cup in November and December also affects the Football League, the FA Cup and League Cup.
League and cup competitions in Scotland may also face disruption, regardless of whether the national team qualifies for the tournament with players being called up for other international teams.
Domestic leagues in Wales and Northern Ireland are less likely to be affected with the vast majority of players non-internationals.
Many of Europe's top leagues wanted an April-May solution to minimise disruption to their domestic programmes, not to mention the impact on the Champions League and Europa League.
According to English Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore, European leagues and clubs will "suffer the most".
Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, chairman of the European Club Association, added that European clubs and leagues cannot be expected to bear the costs for any rescheduling.
"We expect the clubs to be compensated for the damage that a final decision would cause," said the German.
And Frederic Thiriez, president of the French football league and the European Professional Football Leagues, described it as "probably the most terrible decision" for domestic competitions.
Asked about a potential boycott from European leagues, Thiriez said: "I don't want to threaten or say we will do this or that. Let's wait for the final decision on 19 March. Then we will see what we'll do. Everybody's trying to find a solution. I'm trying to defend the interests of the leagues in Europe.
"It is the national leagues in Europe who guarantee the life of football in Europe. It's not the World Cup, neither the Champions League. It is the domestic championships. This is the heart of football."
However, Savo Milosevic, vice-president of the Serbian Football Association, said his country could benefit.
"Switching it to November and December is a good decision in my opinion and one that would also play into Serbia's hands if we qualify because it would practically coincide with our winter break," he said.
European governing body Uefa also backed the taskforce, insisting it "sees no major issues in rescheduling its competitions".
African officials agree with the taskforce, even though they will almost certainly have to move the 2023 African Cup of Nations from its January-February slot.
Confederation of African Football's director of communications Junior Binyam said it was backing the proposal "100%".
Concacaf, the confederation responsible for football in North America, Central America and the Caribbean said it "fully supports" the recommendations. The US Major League Soccer season will be unaffected given it runs from March until October.
It's likely to be a similar tale with the Asian Football Confederation, given Sheikh Salman is president of that particular body.
The Football Supporters' Federation questioned Sheikh Salman's claim to have had "detailed discussions with all stakeholders", saying the process would "bring renewed focus on to Fifa's governance and decision-making".
It said: "Once again this is a top-down decision from Fifa that has alienated both fans and clubs.
"The FSF is affiliated to Football Supporters Europe and they weren't consulted, despite representing millions of fans across the continent."

Average temperatures in November are around 29C, dropping to around 25C by mid-December, slightly cooler than the 35C averages in May.
In June and July, those numbers increase significantly, regularly exceeding 40C.
BBC Weather's Nick Miller said it is not just the heat that is a concern but the humidity, too: "Together, they put a lot of pressure on the body, particularly with any physical activity,"
Organisers planned to use air-cooling technology they claim lowers temperatures within grounds to about 23C. | The 2022 World Cup in Qatar should take place in November and December, a Fifa taskforce has recommended. | 31600194 | [
