They also rejected a plan to introduce free parking for the first 30 minutes.
The changes were proposed by four DUP MLAs, but Infrastructure Minister Chris Hazzard said their motion was based on "seriously misguided logic".
He added that enforcing the 30-minute free parking system would be "extremely resource intensive".
However, the assembly did pass a Sinn Féin amendment calling for a review of on-street parking arrangements which Mr Hazzard said he was "minded" to implement.
"I'm certainly not opposed to a review of sorts - a strategic review of on-street car parking policy and the direction of travel," the minister told BBC News NI.
"What I was opposed to, with the DUP motion, was their pre-determined outcome of any such review, that we would set in stone before we began a massive reduction in penalty fines, I don't think that would be appropriate."
The rejected DUP motion was signed by ex-minister Edwin Poots, and his party colleagues William Humphrey, George Robinson and Alex Easton.
They said "greater flexibility" was needed in parking policy to encourage more trade in town and villages.
Parking enforcement in Northern Ireland was privatised in 2006.
Initially, fines were levied at £60, with the option of a 50% reduction if the bill was paid within a fortnight.
However, in 2012, Stormont MLAs voted for the penalty to be increased to its current level of £90 - or £45 if it is settled within 14 days.
The then Roads Minister Danny Kennedy said at the time that bigger fines would "act as a greater deterrent to those who choose not to park properly".
The current minister said "at least two thirds" of people who receive parking tickets pay within two weeks, and therefore pay at the lower rate of £45.
"I think, when we look across many states, this is an appropriate amount, "Mr Hazzard added.
Last month, a Belfast City Council committee voted to end the council's annual policy of offering free car parking in the city centre in the run-up to Christmas. | MLAs have voted against DUP calls for a significant reduction in the £90 mandatory parking fine during a debate in the Northern Ireland Assembly. | 37890334 | [

Two men have already been arrested and questioned on suspicion of theft and fraud offences.
A man in his 30s is still being detained in Wexford.
Another man arrested in Limerick on Monday has been released without charge.
Brexit Secretary David Davis said on Tuesday the news that one of the London attackers - Rachid Redouane - moved there from Dublin should not alter existing travel arrangements between the UK and the Republic of Ireland.
The two men were arrested by Garda detectives and questioned about the use of documentation and Irish social security numbers in Redouane's name, Irish broadcaster RTÉ reported.
An Garda Síochána (Irish police) detectives are working to identify the activities, addresses and associates of Rachid Redouane during his time in Ireland.
However, Gardaí have stressed their investigation is focused on theft and fraud offences rather than terror.
The investigation into Redouane's time in Ireland has intensified over the past 48 hours.
Thirty-year-old Redouane, who claimed to be Moroccan-Libyan, was based in the the east London suburb of Barking. He was also known by the name Rachid Elkhdar.
Details of his identity and background began to emerge when an Irish identity card was found on his body after he was shot dead by police.
It is understood he arrived in the UK in 2006 and applied for asylum but that the application was rejected in 2009.
It is reported that he lived in Harrow in north-west London.
The details of when he arrived in the Republic of Ireland or how long he stayed there are still not clear.
However, it is believed he obtained a European Union residence permit which allowed him to travel to the UK whilst he lived in Ireland.
He married a British woman, 38-year-old Charisse Ann O'Leary, in Dublin in 2012.
It is understood that it was this marriage that allowed Redouane to obtain a 4 EU FAM card given to spouses of European Union citizens.
The couple lived in Rathmines on Dublin's south-side. Reports suggest Redouane worked as a pastry chef.
He left Ireland after the marriage and settled in the UK before returning to Ireland in 2015.
Redouane is understood to have had a 17-month-old daughter with Ms O'Leary, although the couple were estranged.
According to reports, he visited his child before carrying out the London attack along with Khuram Shazad Butt and Youssef Zaghba.
An imam who runs a mosque in Galway that came under attack on Monday, has called on both the British and Irish governments to take action in the wake of the recent attacks.
Imam Ibrahim Noonan said "extremists and radical minds" had been visiting and lecturing in certain mosques in Dublin, Cork and Galway.
"I do know that the Garda are working hard and doing something, but maybe they are restricted due to human rights law," he told Good Morning Ulster.
The imam said his mosque had been attacked during the hour of prayer on Monday, as some people blamed he entire Muslim community in the wake of extremist attacks.
"Every time attacks happen, all Muslim communities around Ireland, Northern Ireland, and the rest of the UK become tense," he said.
"Ninety-nine, point nine, nine, nine percent don't associate themselves with these terrorist extremists - they are peace loving people." | Irish police say further arrests are expected as part of an investigation into the background of one of the London attackers who lived in the Republic of Ireland. | 40184029 | [

Damon, the star of the Bourne franchise, was originally going to direct and star in the film, which is nominated for five Golden Globe awards.
But scheduling meant he had to pull out of both roles, remaining as a producer.
Affleck believes that "there aren't many parts like this".
And that's even for male actors at the height of their career.
"It's so exhilarating and fun to get a part like this," he explains.
"You get to do what you thought you'd do when you first started being an actor. The reality is, you end up doing so much stuff you thought you'd never have to do, and would never want to do again."
Affleck plays Boston janitor Lee, who, having suffered painful tragedy in his own life, has to return to his home town of Manchester by the Sea to take care of his teenage nephew, following the death of his brother.
The film was written and directed by Kenneth Lonergan, who was nominated for an Oscar for his writing on Martin Scorsese's Gangs of New York.
"The truth is there's so much media out there, so much TV, and there's a lot of material written for comedies and dramas, but there are very few things that have been brewing for years in the way Kenny writes things," the actor claims.
"It's the antithesis of what our culture has come to be, I mean our Western pop culture of churning it out and gobbling it up. There are also a lot of great actors out there, and sometimes those scripts go to other people. I got lucky."
Affleck, who was nominated for an Oscar in 2008 for his role in The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, grew up in the Massachusetts area where the film is set, along with his brother Ben and neighbour, Matt Damon.
Affleck says he was "aware of the project for some time" and knew Damon was working on it.
"When they asked me to do the part I said, 'Sure, that might mean we never get it made, but I'm honoured that you asked.' It was very clear to me that it was the kind of movie I would love even if no-one else did."
However, not only did the film receive glowing reviews after its debut at the Sundance Film Festival last year, but Affleck is the favourite to receive the Globe for best actor in a drama.
The film is also nominated for best screenplay, best director, best motion picture drama, and his co-star Michelle Williams is up for best supporting actress.
She plays Affleck's ex-wife, and confesses that she "burst into tears" when she got the role.
"I'd wanted to work with Kenny for so long," she says. "Casey and I had actually read for a play with him years ago. I was pregnant with my daughter at the time. Just knowing that it was finally going to happen, that we were all going to work together - I got a little tearful, yes.
"It felt like a momentous occasion when you want something and it comes true, even when you have to wait a long time.
"Casey and Kenny are good men and more than anything I am really happy to see their toil and efforts come good at this end because they deserve it. Casey looked like he carried the weight of the world on his shoulders when we were making it."
The drama is a study in grief, and how the three main characters, played by Williams, Affleck and Lucas Hedges as Lee's nephew Patrick, deal with their losses.
Affleck agrees that "there were bright spots in the experience" and "a lot of light in the film", but admits it was a "demanding role".
"Talking about acting sounds so precious and pretentious, it's almost unbearable, but there was a lot required emotionally - showing up there, and being able to be very upset and sad and tortured, yet contain it all, and keep it tight."
Kenneth Lonergan has received critical praise for not providing a so-called "Hollywood answer" to suffering, calling such stories "dishonest fantasies".
"Nobody needs me to tell anyone that real life can be difficult enough without watching something that tells you that everything will be OK, and in time you will understand about the circle of life and all this palaver," he says. "But to see my own experience reflected back at me helps me and makes me feel less alone. The sentimental approach which is so common is a cheat."
However, Michelle Williams believes that Manchester by the Sea does offer "a glimmer of hope" in its portrayal of bereavement.
"I think ultimately one of the things the movie is about is endurance. After hard times, you have to find ways to cleave to life and to people, even when you feel there isn't any hope. There's always a glimmer, I think that's what the movie offers, a glimmer of hope."
Manchester by the Sea is released in the UK on 13 January. The Golden Globes take place on 8 January.

More than 16 million drivers are set to take to UK roads, with four million travelling on Good Friday and 4.5 million on Easter Sunday.
Arriva Trains says passengers in Wales will face delays if travelling to London due to engineering works.
Details of affected services can be found on Arriva Trains Wales website.
Motorists can check for planned works, delays or latest incidents on the Traffic Wales website.
A South Wales Police spokesman said: "Motorists are advised to take note of travel information and allow plenty of time for their journeys."
Motoring organisation the RAC said the millions travelling would make it "hectic" on UK roads this weekend.
A spokesman said: "The first spring bank holiday of the year traditionally heralds the start of busier weekends.
"This Easter is set to be a hectic one.

United trail Kilmarnock by five points with six games left for play in the quest to remain in the Premiership.
"I think it will be tough and I think it will go right down to the wire," said the United manager.
"We do know that Kilmarnock will lose, Kilmarnock will win and they will probably draw. We just need to win more than them in order to survive."
Paatelainen thinks his side can still overtake Kilmarnock even if the gap remains the same after the Ayrshire side host St Johnstone as Inverness Caledonian Thistle visit Tannadice on Saturday.
There will be five games left as the Premiership splits into two sections of six teams and the United manager does not rule out Hamilton Academical, who are four points ahead of Kilmarnock, being drawn into the relegation battle.
"It is still a comfortable cushion Kilmarnock have, but there is still a long way to go with plenty of points at stake," he said.
"We have certainly given ourselves a chance.
"It depends on how the teams above us do. If they win all their matches, it will be very difficult for us, impossible for us.
"A lot can happen in those five matches. You play one another and play against teams pretty close to you and it will be a very interesting end to the season."
United were 13 points adrift at one stage, so Paatelainen was not too downhearted about the midweek defeat by Partick Thistle.
"We've been playing well, but we haven't been winning enough for our liking," he said.
"We need to find more of that consistency in order to survive.

"I think our players have shown tremendous character not to give up, not to put the tools away, keep believing.
"That's why the gap is down to five points and that gives us hope."
One thing Paatelainen is sure of is that Kilmarnock will at some point secure their first win since Lee Clark took over as manager from Gary Locke.
"Look at their squad," he stressed. "Some excellent players and they have a manager whose been around, who knows the score, he knows the game.
"They will win. They've got goalscorers and solid defenders and very energetic midfielders." | Dundee United manager Mixu Paatelainen expects the battle to avoid relegation to last until the season's final game. | 35996529 | [

The 38-year-old spinner skippered the side to the Division Two title in 2015.
"We've got a very special set of players at the moment and it's a great honour to be able to lead them onto the field," he told the club website.
"Promotion last season was just the start of what we can achieve. I look forward to playing my part in our continued development."
Batty is currently in his second spell at The Oval, having played for Surrey between 1998 and 2001 before returning to south London ahead of the 2010 campaign.
He was appointed captain at the start of this year and took 40 first-class wickets at an average of 28.17 last season as Surrey won promotion to Division One.
"Batts is playing an incredibly important part of what we're trying to achieve at Surrey," director of cricket Alec Stewart said.
"He has shown real leadership qualities on and off the field and his all-round contribution in the progress we are making should not be underestimated." | Surrey captain Gareth Batty has signed a new contract which will keep him at the club until the end of 2017. | 35131262 | [

A grant of £1.25m was provided in 2013 to encourage authorities to install equipment in council chambers to allow them to broadcast meetings online.
But not all councils stream meetings and the latest Welsh Government move has been backed by all parties.
Conwy council said ministers will need to provide funding if the practice is to become mandatory.
Mark Drakeford, cabinet secretary for local government, said in a written answer to a question about the one-off funding in 2013 from Conservative AM Janet Finch-Saunder, "18 out of 22 local authorities are broadcasting their council meetings to some extent".
He has now proposed to make broadcasting of the meetings a "statutory requirement" as part of a package of proposals on local government reform, on which ministers are consulting.
Ms Finch-Saunders said she was concerned not all councils provided streaming, adding: "I welcome proposals to make broadcasting of council meetings a statutory requirement."
Rhondda Cynon Taf ran an initial pilot of broadcasts, but chose to end the practice.
A spokesman for the authority said the council had used Welsh Government grant funding, but did not extend its pilot as the costs "were considered excessive at a time when the council faced significant financial challenges".
"The council does tweet decisions made live from both cabinet and council meetings," he added.
Conwy council has decided to investigate audio broadcasting rather than running video of meetings after its contract with an external provider came to an end. It has aired a limited number of meetings since last September.
A spokeswoman said the council had considered whether it could fund webcasting "given the high costs involved compared to the relatively-low viewing figures" but said it felt the Welsh Government should provide funding if it is to become mandatory.
Figures for live broadcasts can be "minimal" but increases for archived videos, with viewer numbers ranging between 142 and 1,540, according to a paper seen at a council cabinet meeting.
The Welsh Local Government Association warned that longer-term IT and administrative costs for web-casting "will be considerable" and will need to be balanced against "prioritising front-line services".
A spokesman said the WLGA had been "supportive" of the roll-out of webcasting but added the costs of a mandatory requirement "will need to be set out alongside any legislation".
A Welsh Government spokesman said: "Progress has been made with the help of a single grant payment provided to local authorities but we now need to take this a step further."
UKIP's Gareth Bennett said: "Local residents in Wales will be rightly wondering why some councils appear to have closed the door on local democracy".
Sian Gwenllian of Plaid Cymru added the broadcasting of public meetings "would enable more people to be engaged in local politics". | Webcasting of council meetings could become compulsory under Welsh Government proposals. | 39380070 | [

It follows the discovery of 115 people locked inside three small houses in Edinburg, close to the Mexican border.
Police were alerted by a call made from inside one of the houses. The property was found to have padlocks and chains on the outside.
People found inside said they had not had any food or water for three days, and some required hospital treatment.
Oscar Trevino, an Edinburg police spokesman, told the BBC that it was clear the people in the properties were being held against their will.
"There was no way that they could leave because the doors were secured with burglar bars and were locked from the outside."
He said officers had to use bolt cutters to free those inside.
The imprisoned people came from several different countries in south and central America.
One man told officers that they had been driven to the houses from the Rio Grande river, which marks the border between Texas and Mexico.
He said they had been threatened with death if they did not remain quiet. | The authorities in Texas have charged two men with conspiring to harbour suspected illegal immigrants. | 17951098 | [

For 75-year-old South Korean grandfather Chan Jae, it meant embracing the new and unfamiliar world of social media.
With his wife and son's help, Chan Jae turned to Instagram, using his account as a storytelling tool to share the pictures he draws by hand for his beloved three grandsons.
His account, Drawings for my Grandchildren, now has more than 40,000 followers enchanted by his imaginative creations.
Its success isn't entirely by chance. It was the brainchild of his son Ji Lee, a 45-year-old creative director at Facebook, which owns Instagram.
The family emigrated to Sao Paulo from Seoul in 1981.
But Ji Lee and his wife eventually relocated to New York while his sister and her husband made the decision to return to Korea with their two sons, who were the centre of Chan Jae's world.
"My father was retired and spending time with my nephews, like driving them to school, was a huge part of his day. After they left, he had nothing to do and that scared my mother and me," said Mr Lee.
"We were very worried that he would age quickly without having anything to do and would become depressed."
It took him months to convince his "quiet reserved" father who "hated learning new things" that he should draw for his grandchildren, as he had for his children, and post the pictures online to stay in touch.
"He hated the idea and just could not grasp the concept. He didn't understand the purpose of why we wanted to share his art on Instagram but I was determined to teach him," he told BBC News from his home in New York.
"But I sat down with him every day and at dinner one night, we had a conversation about drawing for my son. That was the turning point and eventually he became more receptive to learn."
"Capturing his style of drawing" was another big struggle he faced.
"Now he uses different editing tools and can even understands hashtags so that was revolutionary."
"This Instagram account really changed my father's life. Since then, he's been making one drawing a day. My mother writes the stories and my father brings them to life."
Dinosaurs, pandas, superheroes and nature are all common themes in Chan Jae's work for his grandchildren.
The daily life and culture of Korea also feature prominently.
More importantly, each post teaches a lesson, shares a memory or even carries a personal message. They are translated into three languages: English, Korean and Portuguese.
"Your grandma is a super woman. She's carrying a baby in front and another on her back. Children, please don't forget," read one heart-warming post.
To take things a step further, Ji Lee told his father's story through a video on Facebook which went viral, gathering more than 18,000 reactions and 1.3m views on the site.
He said he was shocked by how popular his video had become.
"I went to bed and when I woke up, it had gone viral. The Instagram account has also grown and he now has more than 40,000 followers."
Thousands of users on Facebook wrote about how Chan Jae's story touched them.
"This is amazing on so many levels. A modern living legacy. Your brilliance has so much depth," said Valerie LaMastro.
Others like David Harvey shared similar experiences with getting elderly people to make use of technology.
"That's a wonderful story. Beautiful drawings and a beautiful job telling the story, too. My father also had little to no interest in technology until texting and now it has brought us much closer together."
Devrin Carlson-Smith said: "I was one of the first to follow 'Drawings for my Grandchildren' and told you the story of how I got my mum into Instagram. I love that your dad is back into his art. I hope to do that too so I don't lose my skills."
To Ji Lee, the most rewarding part of this all was helping others around the world.
"So many people are sharing my video and interacting with it. I've received hundreds of messages from people thanking me for sharing our inspiring story." | How do you tell a story to your grandchildren when you've found yourself alone, oceans apart from your family? | 38153553 | [

The 33-year-old arrestee was injured while grabbing onto a toilet at Colchester police station on 1 May.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) said all six officers face allegations of assault and using excessive force.
Essex Police said one officer had been placed on restricted duties.
It declined to comment further due to the investigation. The IPCC said the allegations could amount to gross misconduct if proven.
The man was taken into custody on 30 April in relation to a public order incident, but in the early hours of the next day a number of officers entered his cell to find him standing with one foot in the metal toilet bowl.
The IPCC said he held on to the rim on the bowl while the officers tried to restrain him.
Soon after, according to the watchdog, the tops of three of the man's fingers on his left hand were severed.
The tops of the fingers were later recovered from inside the toilet and transported to the hospital, but it is believed they were not reattached successfully.
The IPCC said it would look at whether the officers' restraint was "appropriate" and caused the man's injuries.
Investigators will consider whether the man's mental health or ethnicity influenced the actions of officers.
Additionally, they will examine why there was a delay of around five hours in retrieving and transporting the severed fingertips to hospital. | Six police officers are being "criminally investigated" after a man lost the tips of three fingers during a struggle in his cell. | 33627403 | [

The vigilantes were celebrating a successful operation with the military against the Islamist militants.
An improvised explosive device (IED) went off killing and injuring people gathered around the celebrations.
Despite losing territory this year, Boko Haram still controls a few areas.
The BBC's Nigeria correspondent Will Ross says although it seems to have been an accident, this tragedy highlights the danger that remains even after the jihadists have been flushed out of an area.
African news updates
"The vigilante group together with the military decided to go to villages in Marte local government [area] where there is preponderance of Boko Haram elements," MP Tahir Monguno told the BBC Hausa service.
"In the course of the operation they killed some Boko Haram insurgents and they confiscated their weapons," he said.
But one of the vigilantes failed to disclose one of the IEDs picked up during the two-day mission and took it back to Monguno, about 135km (83 miles) north-east of the Borno state capital, Maiduguri.
"Because of the successes they recorded there was celebration galore," the MP said, with many people joining in.
Ten people were killed instantaneously when the device exploded on Tuesday evening and another 13 people died by the time the injured were taken to Maiduguri, he said.
"Fifteen of them are [still] in the intensive care unit of the hospital," Mr Monguno said.
Will new military HQ defeat Boko Haram?
Why Boko Haram remains a threat
A military source told the BBC that 12 people transported to Maiduguri had died but was unable to confirm the number of those who died in Monguno.
Earlier, a witness told the Associated Press news agency that the device was found at an abandoned Boko Haram camp.
According to Amnesty International, at least 17,000 people, mostly civilians, have been killed since the group launched their violent uprising to impose Islamic rule in 2009.
The group is still holding many women, girls and children captive, including 219 schoolgirls it kidnapped from a school in Chibok in April last year.
With the help of Niger and Chad, Nigeria's military has been able to recapture most towns and villages taken by the group.
Despite losing territory, the militants are still active in the north-east and Chad blames Boko Haram for two suicide attacks in its capital, N'Djamena on Monday. | At least 23 people have been killed in the north-eastern Nigerian town of Monguno after a Boko Haram bomb confiscated by vigilantes exploded, an MP and army source have told the BBC. | 33169960 | [

The social network has been using artificial intelligence software to scan satellite imagery and identify human-built structures.
It hopes to use the information to determine where internet-beaming drones would best be deployed.
But it suggests others could also make use of the maps.
"We believe this data has many more impactful applications, such as socio-economic research and risk assessment for natural disasters," Facebook said in a blog.
One expert raised concerns.
"I am torn in my reaction between excitement at the technical innovation and concern about the public policy issues," said Emily Taylor, an associate fellow at the Chatham House think tank.
"This takes knowing your customers to stalker-like levels."
But the British Red Cross charity said the initiative could potentially help it locate vulnerable communities.
Facebook first detailed its work on the mapping project last year, in a briefing about its Aquila drones.
At the time, the social network's engineering chief, Jay Parikh, said the technology could spot structures as small as a tent.
He said the population maps it produced were many times more detailed than those of an alternative scheme co-ordinated by Columbia University, the Gridded Population of the World (GPW) project, which seeks to collate existing data.
"You look at the Middle East, and all of a sudden there are big splotches," he said of the GPW's maps.
"Your intuition says that's probably not how people are distributed in terms of living.
"We can be much more precise and exact [with our] fine grain level of information."
In its update - released to coincide with the Mobile World Congress tech show - Facebook said it had analysed 14.6 billion satellite images covering 20 countries. This had resulted in 350TB of data.
"Our final data set has a spatial resolution of 5m [16.4ft] and thereby improves over previous countrywide data sets by multiple orders of magnitude," it said.
It added, however, the task had not been without problems.
"While recognising structures in aerial imagery is a popular task in computer vision, scaling it to a global level came with additional difficulty.
"Aside from processing billions of images, finding buildings with high fidelity in rural areas is really a needle-in-a-haystack problem.
"Typically, more than 99% of the landmass we analyse does not contain any human-made structure, and it therefore poses a challenge for the machine learning algorithms to learn from such an unbalanced data set."
Facebook intends to use the maps to inform its Internet.org initiative, which aims to connect more people to the internet.
The company is currently developing drones that would extend internet signals beyond cities via lasers beamed between the aircraft.
Although it will be several years before Facebook hopes to have the technology ready, the maps could allow it to work out where the drones would have the most impact.
In the meantime, others hope the data could prove useful for their own efforts.
The Red Cross already has a map initiative of its own, the Missing Maps Project, developed in conjunction with the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team and Medecins Sans Frontieres.
It said the extra information could help the organisations respond more effectively to people in need.
"There are many areas globally that still remain off the digital map," said British Red Cross maps expert Andrew Braye.
"These areas are also home to vulnerable communities at risk from natural disasters or conflict.
"Organisations that share open data are enabling the humanitarian sector to respond more rapidly.
"The information is then available to emergency responders and assists with decision-making."

Naomi Gwynne wrote to South Lanarkshire Council after finding her brother Isaac was unable to use the swings.
Both children are autistic and Isaac is visually impaired by a brain tumour and has severe learning difficulties, so he cannot hold on to a normal swing.
The council said it had found a new seat it was hoping to install soon.
Naomi wrote to the authority after visiting the new park near their home in Hamilton and seeing that Isaac could not use the assisted swings as they were too small.
She wrote: "I like the new park but please could you make a disabled swing for it?
"Isaac my twin brother is too big for a baby swing but can't hold on to the bars of the grown up swings.
"His favourite thing is a swing and we are both sad. Why did you forget about him? I have drawn a swing he would like. Thank you."
The twins' mother, Miriam Gwynne, said the children were excited when the park opened on Bothwell Road.
She said: "I was surprised when my daughter asked this weekend if I could help her spell 'disabled' and then she handed me her wonderful letter.
"I was so emotional that she had noticed and cared so much for her twin brother who has such multiple disabilities.
"I was so sad that a brand new park would not be automatically inclusive and so proud of my eight-year-old for standing up for her brother.
"Isaac has complex autism, is non-verbal, has global delay and learning difficulties and NF1 [disorder]. He is also visually impaired and requires a lot of care. But to Naomi he is simply her brother who deserves to play and swing as much as anyone else."
Mrs Gwynne, 40, posted her daughter's message on Twitter, calling for people to share it.
South Lanarkshire Council has responded to Mrs Gwynne.
The authority's head of facilities, waste and grounds services, Alistair McKinnon, said: "All new play areas are designed to incorporate an element of inclusive play. The overall aim is to allow children of all abilities to play together and present a range of experiences and challenges.
"There are six of the 15 items in the newly refurbished play area at Bothwell Road which are classified as inclusive by the manufacturer.
"However, following the heartfelt letter from Naomi and a review of provision in surrounding play parks, we have been able to source a seat which we think may be suitable for Isaac and are looking to have it installed as soon as possible." | An eight-year-old girl has accused a council of "forgetting" about her disabled twin brother when it installed new equipment at their local park. | 39336893 | [

Notts will drop into Division Two next season after losing their penultimate fixture to leaders Middlesex.
Newell, who will hand first-team duties to ex-England coach Peter Moores, told BBC Radio Nottingham relegation in cricket is "about the shame".
"It's about the embarrassment of getting relegated," Newell added.
"Financially it is not like losing your place in the Premier League in football. Financially it doesn't make a huge difference; it makes a difference to the supporters.
"It is more about the impact it has on the ego of the players and the impact on the supporters who are used to seeing Division One cricket.
"We are proud club; we have been in Division One for a long time and it's ten years since I stood here and had to explain away a relegation."
Notts have only won once in the Championship this season and now return to Division Two for the first time in nine years. | Nottinghamshire's relegation from the County Championship's top flight is "embarrassing", according to director of cricket Mick Newell. | 37321587 | [

Subhan Shafiq stepped down as Milton Keynes mayor after describing the man as being of "good current character".
This helped the driver, Mr Shafiq's friend, to get a taxi driver's licence.
Milton Keynes Council leader Peter Marland said Mr Shafiq should examine his conscience over whether he could even continue as a councillor.
Mr Marland, Labour leader of the council, said: "He resigned to protect the reputation of the council but I think it is very difficult for him to remain and keep the trust of the public after advocating for someone who has been convicted of rape.
"He must examine his own conscience on this."
Mr Shafiq, a Liberal Democrat, had described his "friend", who had been convicted of four sexual assaults, as being of "good current character".
But earlier this month a member of the public raised concerns about the driver and his licence was revoked.
The council claimed it had "taken rapid steps" to keep passengers safe.
Mr Shafiq said in a previous statement he had resigned as mayor "with deep regret".
The driver had been issued with a licence in September 2011, despite councillors knowing of his four convictions, for which he had served a "substantial" custodial sentence.
He had received a "very strong" character reference from Mr Shafiq, who became mayor in June.
The driver's convictions were discussed again in 2012 and his licence was temporarily suspended, but this ban was later "inexplicably" lifted, the council said.
Seven other drivers who give the council "cause for concern" have been identified as part of a detailed review of licence holders. | A mayor who resigned after a taxi driver he vouched for was found to have a rape conviction has been urged to leave the council altogether. | 29002397 | [

State department officials and Mr Bae's sister were quoted as saying the 45-year-old had been returned from a hospital to the camp on 20 January.
Mr Bae, a Korean-American, was arrested in November 2012 and sentenced to 15 years' hard labour in May.
North Korea says he used his tourism business to form groups to overthrow the government.
He was taken to hospital last year after suffering dramatic weight loss. His family say he has several health complaints including diabetes and liver problems.
State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Washington had learned about Mr Bae's transfer to the camp from representatives of the Swedish embassy in Pyongyang, which acts on behalf of the US in North Korea.
Ms Psaki said the Swedish diplomats "have met Mr Bae 10 times since his detention, most recently on 7 February in a labour camp".
She added: "We continue to urge DPRK (North Korean) authorities to grant Mr Bae special amnesty and immediate release on humanitarian grounds".
Ms Psaki did not specify when Mr Bae had been forced back to the camp.
However, a US state department official and Mr Bae's sister confirmed the 20 January date.
"He's back to eight-hours-a-day, six-days-a-week hard labour," Terri Chung, Mr Bae's sister, was quoted as saying by the Associated Press news agency.
Pyongyang has so far made no official comment on the reports.
On Thursday, US President Barack Obama used the annual National Prayer Breakfast in Washington to say: "We pray for Kenneth Bae, a Christian missionary who has been left in North Korea for 15 months."
"His family wants him home, and the United States will continue to do everything in our power to secure his release because Kenneth Bae deserves to be free."
If the details of his transfer are confirmed, it would mean Mr Bae was returned to the camp on the same day as he spoke to foreign media in North Korea under heavy prison guard - his first "press conference" since the detention.
Mr Bae denied media reports that he had been badly treated and called for US "co-operation" to secure his release.
Correspondents say he may have been speaking under strict editorial control.
North Korea has arrested several US citizens in recent years, including journalists and Christians accused of proselytising.
They were released after visits to Pyongyang by high-profile officials, including former presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter. | A US citizen held for more than a year in North Korea has been moved back to a labour camp, US officials say. | 26090874 | [

The Transport for London (TfL) trial follows the success of its "Baby on board" badge for pregnant women.
TfL is recruiting 1,000 people to start wearing the blue badges from 12 September.
Mayor of London Sadiq Khan said he hoped they would "give confidence" to people who find standing difficult.
Some travellers, such as James McNaught who is joining the trial, had already started making their own badges to alert fellow passengers to their condition.
The 45-year-old designed "Cancer on board" badges after travelling on the Tube between Kentish Town and University College Hospital for chemotherapy.
Radiotherapy on his throat left him unable to speak to ask for a seat, and the morphine made him appear drunk.
"I'm really pleased TfL is doing this trial," he said. "A badge and card could help make a real difference to the lives of people undergoing drug treatment or with longer term conditions or disabilities."
TfL will use social media and customer information to encourage other passengers to look out for the badges.
"This small act of consideration from Londoners could make a huge difference to disabled people getting around the city and being fully involved in all London has to offer," said Alice Mitchell-Pye of charity Leonard Cheshire Disability.
The six-week trial is believed to be the first of its kind in Europe. | People with hidden health conditions are being offered "Please offer me a seat" badges in a bid to help ease their suffering on London transport. | 37222554 | [

Antoine Maury was last seen in Edinburgh on Monday 24 October.
The 21-year-old was last seen at Edinburgh College's Milton Road East campus at 22:00 when he suddenly left his friends.
Between 22:45 and 23:00, a man matching Mr Maury's description was seen near Duddingston Village. He was topless and heading towards Holyrood Park.
The Maury family said: "We are still appealing to the public for any information which can help find our son, Antoine.
"We want anyone who was in the area of Duddingston, Holyrood Park or Pollock Halls, on Monday 24 October, between 22:30 and 23:30, who saw a male running and walking, to contact the police."
Mr Maury is white and of medium build. He is about 6ft, with short, brown hair, a beard and a fair complexion.
He has a tattoo of a bleeding hand on his forearm.
When last seen he was wearing a brown/green bomber jacket with dark-coloured chinos and a white beanie hat.
He is also believed to have been wearing black and white Vans trainers.
Glasses belonging to Mr Maury, who suffers from poor eyesight, have since been found with some of his clothes on a golf course.
Divers are still searching Duddingston Loch and there are police searches in Holyrood Park.
On Saturday and Sunday about 100 volunteers joined officers in the search around Duddingston Golf Club and Holyrood High School.
Police Scotland has also continued its media appeal for Mr Maury.
This has resulted in more than 464,000 people being contacted through Police Scotland's Facebook page.
Officers have conducted door-to-door inquiries in the Duddingston and Pollock Halls areas and have reviewed CCTV in a bid to establish Mr Maury's last known movements.
Insp Alan Carson, of Police Scotland, said: "Throughout this inquiry we have sought to provide Mr Maury's family with the answers they are desperately seeking.
"We are continuing to support and work with them and I pay tribute to the dignity and courage they have shown throughout this period.
"This is still a live investigation and we will carry on our search until we have exhausted our search parameters.
"The public response to our appeal has been enormous and we are grateful for the support offered by the people of Edinburgh.
"I would again appeal to anyone who may have information to come forward. Even the smallest amount of information may be the key to helping us find Antoine." | Sonar equipment has been used across Duddingston Loch in the last few days in the search for a missing student. | 37878406 | [

The UK and Ireland are among the countries that can now sell beef to Canada. France and Germany - the EU's biggest producers - are also included.
The EU Commission said it was a welcome move, as EU farmers "are going through a particularly difficult period".
A Russian import ban and weaker Chinese demand have hit Europe's farm exports.
Last month the EU announced a €500m (£365m; $567m) aid package, following many street protests by farmers.
The dairy sector has been hit especially hard, with many producers saying current prices are barely enough to cover their costs.
The Commission - the EU's top regulator - said Canada's move was "part of a growing trend to recognise the robust, comprehensive and successful measures put in place by the EU to eradicate BSE".
The spread of Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in the 1990s - linked to a fatal neurodegenerative disease in humans - led to the mass slaughter of cattle and big losses for beef farmers.
The US has also resumed importing beef from the EU, under strict monitoring, a process that began with Ireland in January.
Canada has signed a far-reaching free trade agreement with the EU, which is now going through the ratification process. | Canada is reopening its market to beef exports from 19 EU member states, lifting a ban that was imposed in 1996 because of BSE "mad cow disease". | 34585302 | [

They may not think they have any data worth stealing but even the smallest company can be custodian to information that represents hard cash to criminal gangs: credit card details, customers' names and addresses, or the designs vital to an innovative start-up - all have a ready criminal market.
When attention grabbing headlines such as "UK suffering 1,000 attacks an hour" are reported there is a tendency to assume this as an issue only for the larger enterprises; household names that we think of as the powerhouse of our economy.
However, that is a dangerous mistake to make.
There is mounting evidence that small businesses could be our Achilles heel when it comes to cyber-security. And, it is these small businesses which are the foundations upon which our economy rests: destabilise them and everything else comes crashing down.
Over the past 12 months a number of surveys have emerged which suggest that in excess of 60% of these small businesses have suffered some form of successful malware attack.
When you realise that even basic security precautions will result in the majority of attacks "bouncing off", you begin to understand they must be quite poorly prepared for the hackers to be so successful.
It's not entirely surprising that small businesses are quite so poorly defended.
Someone running a small business is not necessarily going to have security as their main priority.
They are typically entrepreneurs not security experts. Money is always tight and there is a natural dynamic tension between need and cost.
You can see which way the tension is tending when you read in the same surveys that nearly 20% of small businesses only concern themselves with cyber-security following an intrusion. More worrying still, one report indicates that 10% of small businesses would have no way of knowing if they had been successfully attacked.
Criminals also recognise that smaller businesses can often be a way of reaching onward to the larger firms.
It is as true now as it ever was that the weakest part of a chain is where you should attack, and the supply chains in our modern global, hyper-connected economy are highly extended and, for larger international corporations, you can have upwards of 5,000 to 10,000 smaller suppliers inputting to your end products and services. That represents a lot of potential back doors.
To date, selling security software has been akin to selling insurance.
Sadly the perception is that it will "never happen to me" so smaller businesses put off what they see as a significant expense for what they see as a very remote eventuality.
There is even a suggestion in some surveys that smaller businesses are tempted to use unlicensed security software, or, worse, that which they are offered for "free".
Unfortunately, such software is far from a protection but is sometimes the very vehicle for carrying malicious software into the companies systems.
You should use "free" software only if you are sure it is from a reputable company, and that the company which built it provides it directly.
As smaller businesses feed the larger businesses, those larger businesses are becoming acutely aware that potentially valuable assets could be at risk somewhere further down their supply chain.
Take for example a car manufacturer which designs a cutting-edge headlight design.
They don't fabricate the lights themselves but pass the designs to a smaller manufacturer who in turn may subcontract elements of the manufacture.
That cutting-edge design, worth considerable sums in intellectual property, can end up with a relatively small business and is then protected using only their security, not that of the large car manufacturer.
Hence, if a small business is to join part of one of these large supply chains, they can differentiate themselves from the competition by demonstrating that they can protect the intellectual property entrusted to them to the same degree as it is protected at the start of its journey.
An emerging trend is for those who disseminate valuable intellectual property to large distributed supply chains to track and audit who has access to what data. If the smaller business proves to be a source of a leak then they will not be in that supply chain for very long I would suggest.
Small businesses cannot put off considering cyber-security any longer.
Just as you hire in expertise for doing the accounts, there are many who can advise on the best way to protect you and your clients' valuable data.
Failure to do so will ultimately cause the business to fail either through direct losses from an attack, or from being dropped by customers who feel their data is inadequately protected.

In December 2014, self-styled Islamist Man Monis held 18 people inside the cafe in the central business district.
The CCTV footage shows heavily armed police entering the building's foyer at 2:14 local time on 16 December and setting off a number of flash grenades.
Monis died after he was shot multiple times, but that is not shown in the footage.
A hostage, Katrina Dawson, was also killed in the raid by a ricocheting police bullet.
How the Sydney siege unfolded
The raid was triggered when Monis shot the cafe's manager, Tori Johnson, in the back of the head after ordering him on to his hands and knees.
The footage shows the officers filing through a door into the cafe and bringing out hostage Robin Hope.
Earlier on Tuesday, the inquest saw CCTV footage of six hostages scrambling out of the cafe as a shot blasted through a nearby wall.
Sophie Callan, counsel assisting the coroner, said it was believed that Monis was trying to shoot the hostages, and not firing a warning shot as previously thought, according to the ABC.
It was one of several escapes by hostages during the siege.

Sir Richard Leese is a senior figure in the drive to unite the north of England as an economic force.
North Wales could benefit from better transport links and growth potential and the Welsh government had been supporting the development, he said.
But Sir Richard also said the region "needed more freedom".
"Devolution to Wales has to go beyond the Welsh assembly," he told the BBC's Wales At Work programme.
"I'd argue Cardiff and its city region ought to be able to do some of the things we're doing in Greater Manchester.
"North Wales again needs to be given more power by the Welsh assembly to enable it to work better with us in the north of England."
"From the discussions I've had in north Wales, the growth potential is enormous but it's more likely to be realised if we can work out those synergies between what's happening in north Wales and just the other side of the border.
"They need to be given the freedom by the Welsh assembly to do that."
The cities of the "Northern Powerhouse" stretch from Manchester and Liverpool to Sheffield, Leeds and Hull and up to Newcastle and Sunderland in the north east.
Radical improvements to transport connections over the next 15 to 20 years could create a single labour market and "virtual city" of 15 million in the north of England, which could provide an economic counter-balance to London.
Sir Richard, who is also chair of the Core Cities cabinet which includes Cardiff, said north Wales could also benefit from that and there was a recognition in Cardiff Bay that the links between north Wales and northern England were more important than those with south Wales.
Sir Richard said energy production, advanced manufacturing and health innovation and digital industries were not just based in the urban cores and some of these sectors already existed in north Wales.
"North Wales has the opportunity to play into and contribute to those sectoral strengths of the north of England.
"For industry in north Wales its route to market is through the North of England. So what we're do to improve transport connections, there's a shared interest in extending that beyond the north of England."
He said care had to be taken with comparisons, as Wales had the same population as Greater Manchester but he said areas like transport and business support might benefit from greater devolution within Wales.
Tracy North, chair of the CBI in north Wales said company owners and managers wanted to be involved with the Northern Powerhouse but there was not an obvious body or mechanism for doing so.
"The CBI wants the next Welsh government to create a regional development corporation for north Wales," she said.
"It would need to be set up immediately after the election. It would have funding and staff, run in partnership with business and be unencumbered by local red tape.
"This way, the north Wales region can act independently to optimise economic opportunities, without going through the impracticality of discussing and voting on devolution, which would out of necessity take years and years."
A Wales Office spokesman said it was committed to delivering a fundamental shift of power from Westminster to the people and communities of this country and wanted the Welsh government to "have the same confidence and faith in Wales".
"Only by giving local areas the powers and freedom they need can we further drive economic growth and create the jobs and investment opportunities this country needs," he said.
The Welsh government said: "As part of the Mersey Dee Alliance, we already recognise the economic importance of cross border working and links. We will work with the UK Government to ensure north Wales has full potential to exploit the maximum economic advantage from any Northern Powerhouse proposals." | North Wales needs more devolution if it is to fully benefit from the "northern powerhouse," Manchester city council's leader has said. | 35304439 | [

Australia, seeking a fourth successive World T20 title, chose to bat and posted 148-5, with Elyse Villani making the first half century in a final.
But 18-year-old Windies opener Hayley Matthews hit a stunning 66 off 45 balls with three sixes, in a stand of 120.
The Windies won with three balls to spare and their men's team later completed a T20 double.
West Indies had lost all of their eight previous T20 internationals against Australia and in their first final they made a nervous start bowling at the iconic Eden Gardens.
Villani (52) seized on some wayward full tosses to reach her fifty from 34 balls.
Australia skipper Meg Lanning hit three successive fours in her 52 and the elegant Ellyse Perry dispatched two glorious straight drives for six in a cameo 28.
Having fought back by conceding only a single from the final over they bowled, the Windies made a slow start to their reply, scoring three from the first two overs.

But Matthews and skipper Stafanie Taylor hit 16 from the fifth over, bowled by Perry, and recorded their century partnership in the 14th over.
Matthews was caught with 29 more runs required from 26 balls and Taylor's 59 ended with only five left to score from eight deliveries.
Three were needed from the final over and victory was secured after a routine run-out opportunity turned into an overthrow, to spark exuberant West Indian celebrations, joined by the men's team who were arriving for their final with England.
It continued a welcome resurgence for West Indian cricket, after the Under-19 team beat India to win the 50-over World Cup in February.
West Indies captain Stafanie Taylor:
"I've been waiting for this a long time and it has come at the right time.
"We didn't get the start we wanted but the batting has done it for us.
"It was fantastic to know that the men were with us. [Men's captain Darren] Sammy sent me a text this morning 'Staf you are going to do it, you girls you are going to do it'."

Australia skipper Meg Lanning:
"Full credit to the West Indies, they came out with the bat, and we did not quite get the result we wanted.
"We felt we were a little short, 160 would have been nice, but if we bowled well we would have defended.
"It was a really exciting, tough road into the World Cup and I am proud of the effort that everyone has put in."
Former England batter Ebony Rainford-Brent on BBC Test Match Special:
"The Windies have brought power into this tournament.
"Hayley Matthews running down the wicket and hitting Ellyse Perry for six was probably the moment of the tournament.
"They have discipline in their game now. If this team can tighten up with the bowling and handle pressure they will be a dangerous force going forward." | West Indies claimed their first Women's World Twenty20 with a pulsating eight-wicket win over Australia in Kolkata. | 35954233 | [

Many MPs are spending a lot of time in their constituencies preparing to contest the most closely-fought and unpredictable election in decades.
As early as last year Labour taunted the government that this was a "zombie" Parliament, as much of the legislation in the coalition's programme from 2010 had already been passed.
The opposition has repeated the allegation many times since. MPs on the government side have hit back with claims that Labour has given up scrutinising bills properly.
But as MPs look to the final few weeks before the dissolution of the Parliament elected in 2010, there are still a few bills left to deal with.
A bill to improve and strengthen the service complaints system and enable payments to be made to charities and other organisations that support the Armed Forces across the UK.
The bill began in the the Lords and has passed all stages in the upper house. It is awaiting its Commons report stage at a date to be confirmed.
It is likely that the third reading will also be taken on the same day. As the bill is not particularly controversial it is likely to see royal assent before Parliament is dissolved.
A bill overhauling consumer rights law, covering contracts for goods, services, digital content and the law relating to unfair terms in consumer contracts.
Consideration of Commons amendments in the Lords was on 24 February, so this will make it to the statute book.
A bill to devolve powers to set the rate of corporation tax to the Northern Ireland Assembly.
It was due to have its remaining Commons stages - report stage and third reading - on 4 March.
The devolution of powers to set the corporation tax rate was a key demand of political leaders ahead of the Stormont House Agreement finalised in Belfast last month.
It is still to go through the Lords but the government aims to pass the law before May's general election and Labour has not opposed it.
The bill makes a number of changes which would affect business generally and in particular areas including decriminalising non-payment of the BBC licence fee.
All Commons stages are complete, while its third reading in the Lords is due on 4 March.
However, peers defeated the government during report stage, voting for there to be no move to decriminalise non-payment of the fee before 2017.
It remains to be seen if MPs will overturn this amendment and another game of ping pong will ensue.
First reading - the bill's formal introduction, in which the name of the bill is read out but no debate takes place.
Second reading - a debate on the general principles of a bill.
Committee stage - detailed scrutiny of the bill, either in a committee of the whole House or in a public bill committee.
Report stage - consideration of the report of the bill committee and a further chance for MPs or peers to table amendments.
Third reading - final consideration of the amended bill as a whole. In the House of Lords, there is a final chance to table amendments.
Ping pong - if one House rejects the other's amendments, the bill goes back and forth between the lower and upper Houses until agreement is reached.
A bill concerning the membership and functions of the House of Commons Commission, which is responsible for the administration and services of the House of Commons.
This bill was fast-tracked through the Commons, with all stages on one day - 24 February.
After that, it will need the approval of peers.
This is a private members' bill, which would put into legislation a target of spending at least 0.7% of national income on aid.
It has passed its Commons stages and had its report stage in the Lords on 27 February.
Unlike most private members' bills, Liberal Democrat MP Michael Moore's bill stands a good chance of becoming law.
The bill to allow women Church of England bishops to sit in the House of Lords had its committee stage in the upper House on 26 February.
It sailed through its Commons stages and its second reading in the Lords. Basically, its passage is guaranteed.
The first woman bishop has already been consecrated. The Right Reverend Libby Lane became Bishop of Stockport in January.
The bill to give people greater flexibility in accessing their pension benefits and to help them make informed decisions about what to do with benefits is at the ping pong stage.
MPs considered Lords amendments on 24 February.
The bill provides for a recall petition to be triggered if an MP is sentenced to a prison term or is suspended from the House for at least 21 sitting days.
It is due to have its third reading in the Lords on 2 March, having passed all stages in the Commons.
This bill started in the Lords and had its Commons report stage and third reading on 23 February, with the Lords due to consider any amendments made by MPs in March.
This bill aims to improve access to finance for businesses and individuals and also concerns public procurement and the regulatory provisions relating to business and certain voluntary and community bodies.
It has passed all stages in the Commons and has its Lords report stage on 3 March.
This private bill, which applies to Transport for London and its subsidiaries, started in the House of Lords and had its Commons report stage on 26 February.
Private bills are usually promoted by organisations, like local authorities or private companies, rather than the government.
They are distinct from private members' bills which are promoted by individual MPs or peers.
And spare a thought for those that are likely to fall by the wayside.
A bill which would confer powers to acquire land and to construct and operate phase one of HS2 - a high speed rail line from London to Birmingham.
This is a hybrid bill, which features aspects of a public bill and a private bill. This means it is of general application but it contains provisions which have a different legal effect on the private interests of particular persons.
The hybrid bill procedure gives those persons who are directly and specially affected an opportunity to petition against the bill and be heard in select committee.
Following the bill's second reading it was sent to a select committee and has remained there ever since.
The government has admitted that the legislation will not be passed before the general election.
This is private members' bill sponsored by Conservative peer Lord Saatchi.
It has passed all stages in the Lords and had its Commons second reading scheduled for 27 February, although it was too low down the day's schedule for MPs to even begin debating it.
Even if the bill manages a second reading, it might struggle to progress further in the time left before Parliament dissolves.
It has also faced some passionate opposition from other MPs and peers.
Conservative MP Jonathan Evans' private members' bill has already completed its journey through the House of Lords and has its Commons report stage on 6 March.
However, it is likely that no time will be left for a third reading. | The election is approaching fast and both Houses of Parliament have put in some short days recently. | 31534639 | [

He has sent a business case to Finance Minister Máirtín Ó Muilleoir outlying how he intends to tackle the projected £490m overspend.
The scheme was set up by former first minister Arlene Mrs Foster in 2012 when she was enterprise minister.
Its aim was to increase consumption of heat from renewable sources.
However, businesses received more in subsidies than they paid for fuel, and the scheme became heavily oversubscribed.
The plan by the economy minister has now been formally submitted to the Department of Finance for approval.
Mr Hamilton and Mr Ó Muilleoir held talks on the issue last week.
Analysis: BBC News NI's Business Correspondent Julian O'Neill
The BBC understands the plan involves a two-staged approach.
First, it would reduce the tariffs paid to around 1,800 people who got into the scheme before November 2015.
This would require an Assembly vote to change the tariffs from the new financial year starting in April.
Secondly, there would be a public consultation on a longer-term solution.
But there remains an acceptance within the Department for the Economy that any moves on tariffs could face a legal challenge.
It is understood that a significant number of RHI recipients have told the Department for the Economy they do not wish their names made public.
The department had written to them asking for views on their names being released.
Mrs Foster and Mr Hamilton have talked of wanting transparency about who benefited.
It is believed the department is taking legal advice on its options.
The failure of the political parties to find a resolution on how to investigate the failings in the scheme has led to a political crisis at Stormont.
Martin McGuinness resigned on Monday as deputy first minister in protest against the botched handling of the scheme and, after Mrs Foster refused to step aside while an investigation was held.
Under Northern Ireland's power-sharing agreement, Mrs Foster loses her first minister role with the departure of Mr McGuinness.
The Sinn Féin MLA's decision to quit is likely to lead to a snap election.
The party has seven days to nominate a new deputy first minister, but is adamant it will not replace him.
If it chooses not to, then the baton would pass to Secretary of State James Brokenshire who would be legally obliged to call an election.
In an effort to avert such a move, the British and Irish governments have pledged to do what they can to resolve the crisis. | DUP Economy Minister Simon Hamilton has given details of a plan to cut costs associated with the botched Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme. | 38589697 | [

It was President Hassan Rouhani's first reaction to the results of Friday's run-off election, in which moderates and reformists won a working majority.
The 17 women elected make up 6% of the new cohort of 290 MPs.
Only 16 cleric MPs have been voted in, meaning the new parliament will include more women than religious leaders.
President Rouhani acknowledged the new record and said: "People chose the best candidates in the 26 February and 29 April elections."
The BBC's Kasra Naji says the results signal "a major shift in public support away from hardline Islamic conservatives".
Friday's run-off election was held in constituencies where no candidate had won the minimum proportion of the vote in a first round in February. Four women were elected in the run-off, joining other women who had been voted in already.
The outgoing parliament includes nine female representatives.
Friday's vote gives women in Iran the same share of seats as in countries including Thailand and Nigeria.
Why Iran's moderates must capitalise quickly
An 18th woman was elected but her votes have been annulled by the Guardian Council, a constitutional oversight body. No reasons were given for excluding Minu Khaleqi after the first round.
President Rouhani lent support to her in his speech on Sunday when he told an audience "18 female legislators" had been voted in.
The election of a record number of women is a sign of a major shift in public support away from hard-line Islamic conservatives who have taken only 26% of seats - a dismal performance.
This shift is also apparent in the fact that almost all hardline clerics lost their seats. The number of clerics in parliament in Iran has steadily declined over the years from 164 in the first parliament just after the Islamic revolution in 1979.
Islamic hardliners see the declining number of clerics elected as a threat to the Islamic revolution and have called on more clerics to come forward and enter politics - at a time when many ordinary people are turning away from the religious leaders.
The elections have now ended the 12 year dominance of the Islamic hardliners over parliament.

He is among thousands of Burmese Tamils living in the north-eastern Indian town of Moreh in Manipur state, which borders Myanmar, also known as Burma.
Mr Sarlan and other Indian-origin people were forced to leave the country following a military coup in the 1960s. Their businesses were nationalised and Mr Sarlan, who used to live in Rangoon (now called Yangon), and others became penniless refugees overnight.
It is estimated that nearly 300,000 Indians fled the country following the coup.
"After we reached India, for the first three months we were living in a refugee camp in the southern state of Tamil Nadu. Though Tamil Nadu was the land of our forefathers, it was difficult to live there without any support," recalls Mr Sarlan, 74, who is now a social activist.
'Mini-India'
Indians lived in Burma for centuries, but large-scale migration took place during British-colonial rule, when the country was part of British India, during the 19th and early 20th centuries. They were used as civil servants, traders, farmers, labourers and artisans - and came to be considered the backbone of the economy.
Burmese nationalists always viewed them with suspicion and there were a series of anti-Indian riots in the 1930s. Once the British left in 1948, Indian-origin people became increasingly vulnerable and they were swiftly forced to leave following the 1962 coup.
They found it difficult to settle in India, so many decided to return to Burma by land. They vaguely knew that India's north-eastern states of Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram and Arunachal Pradesh shared a border with Burma.
After weeks of travelling by train and bus a small group managed to reach Moreh, around 3,200km (2,000 miles) by road from Tamil Nadu. When they reached the border crossing, Burmese soldiers prevented them from entering the country.
The Tamils settled in Moreh hoping one day to return to their homeland - but those dreams have never been fulfilled.
"Moreh was a tribal village when we first came here. There was hardly any infrastructure at that point. But many Burmese people came to Moreh looking for Indian goods like automobile parts, clothing and cosmetics. Since we knew the Burmese language it was easy for us to start businesses," Mr Sarlan recalls.
Soon, the Tamils in Moreh invited their relatives and friends from camps in Tamil Nadu and elsewhere to join them.
Many went on to become Indian citizens.
By the 1990s the number of Burmese Tamils in Moreh had increased to about 15,000, almost half of the town's population. They had set up their own schools, temples, churches and mosques - and celebrated their cultural festivals with fervour. Moreh was described as a "mini-India".
"We still retain lots of cultural and social links with Tamil Nadu state. For our important temple festivals we bring priests and music performers from there. Many parents in Moreh also send their children to schools in Tamil Nadu," says K Balasubramaniam, who is the principal of a local secondary school.
Chinese goods
At one point, Burmese Tamils dominated local border trade and that led to resentment from the Kuki community and others.
Several people were killed in bloody clashes between Tamils and Kukis in 1995, but relations have improved since then.
"We take part in each other's cultural and religious festivals. We have several committees to look into any problems and they get sorted out immediately," says Manohar Mohan, a Tamil businessman.
Tamil businesses suffered a setback after the Burmese government established a market just inside their border in Namphalong in the mid-1990s. Chinese products flooded in and many Burmese started shopping in Namphalong rather than Moreh.
Traders in Manipur also faced threats from insurgents in the state - some of the businessmen who refused to pay "extortion money" were shot dead.
The violence and lack of business opportunities forced many traders and Burmese Indians to leave Moreh, many opting for Chennai. Now Moreh's Tamil population is just 3,500.
'Gateway'
The insurgency has been contained to a large extent in the last few years. Many traders in Moreh hope the town will regain its business importance once the long-pending Asian Highway, linking the state capital Imphal with Yangon and Bangkok materialises.
Moreh is considered to be India's gateway to South East Asia and locals believe because of its unique geography the place offers tremendous potential.
The story of the town's Burmese Tamils is one of suffering and resilience as well as achievement.
Many elderly Tamils, originally from Burma, are nostalgic and want to stay in Moreh, as it is closer to where they come from. But later generations say the town offers little in terms of education and employment.
"If we don't have the right education facilities then we have to go elsewhere. We can't do higher studies here. Also, girls can get only teaching jobs here in Moreh. So there are no other options but to leave this town and go to a place like Chennai," says B Revathy, a university student.
Emotional attachment it seems may not be enough for Moreh to keep its Burmese Tamils. | Every day Mohamed Eusoof Sarlan looks at his beloved homeland, a few hundred metres away from where he lives - but Myanmar's soldiers will not allow him to return to his country. | 33973982 | [

Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj said Kulbhushan Jadhav was "kidnapped" and tried on "concocted charges".
Mr Jadhav was arrested last year and convicted on Monday of "espionage and sabotage activities against Pakistan".
Shortly after his arrest, Islamabad released a video in which he was shown admitting involvement in spying.
India has always questioned the alleged confession, saying that it was extracted under duress.
There are differing accounts of how and where Kulbhushan Jadhav was detained.
Pakistan says he was detained on 3 March 2016 in the restive Balochistan province, which has been hit by a separatist insurgency that Islamabad accuses India of backing. India says he was kidnapped by Pakistan while he was in Iran.
Speaking in the Indian parliament on Tuesday, Ms Swaraj described the death sentence as "an indefensible verdict" and warned Pakistan to "consider the consequences".
Home Minister Rajnath Singh promised that the government would do "whatever it takes to make sure Mr Jadhav gets justice".
On Monday, Pakistan said he had been tried by a military court and sentenced to death.
Pakistan said he told the court he had been ordered to "plan, coordinate, and organise espionage/sabotage activities aiming to destabilise and wage war against Pakistan".
He has 40 days to appeal to the court, Pakistani media report. No date was given for his execution.
The nuclear-armed neighbours have a long history of diplomatic spats and Delhi and Islamabad often accuse each other of sending spies into their territories.
In November, Pakistan withdrew six officials from its mission in Delhi after they were outed as suspected spies by India.
It later leaked to the press the names and photos of eight alleged Indian spies working from India's mission in Islamabad.
But executions for spying are rare. In 1999, Pakistan hanged Sheikh Shamim 10 years after his conviction for spying.

The visitors started brightly and broke the deadlock in the seventh minute when Rhys Browne found the bottom corner of Ryan Clarke's net.
The game became more open as the first half wore on, with both sides creating a number of chances, but it remained 1-0 at the break.
Macclesfield had the ball in the net once again seven minutes after the interval but the flag was up.
Eastleigh nearly equalised in the 70th minute but Ayo Obileye's header clattered against a post.

The referee stopped the contest at the Titanic Exhibition Centre in the fourth round after the outclassed Slavchev lifted the Belfast man off his feet.
Flyweight Barnes, 29, had been on top against the Bulgarian who had lost 24 of 33 previous bouts.

The Belfast boxer was the victor on a unanimous decision and now awaits a final eliminator for a world title fight.
Marco McCullough defeated Luis Ligo in his fight for the vacant WBO Intercontinental featherweight championship when his opponent failed to come off his stool for the fifth round.
Barnes's professional bow was much anticipated after a distinguished career in the amateur ranks.
"It was hard to pin him down," said Barnes after the strange conclusion. "I was trying too hard to impress. You didn't see the best of me."
Earlier, Belfast's Steven Ward, 26, marked his professional debut with a points win over 31-year-old Bulgarian Merdjidin Yuseeinov.
Ward, who won silver at the 2010 Commonwealth Games, produced a steady display and was declared the winner by 40 points to 36.

Llandeilo residents have been demanding action for more than 40 years.
It suffers from heavy congestion as lorries squeeze through the main street and air pollution levels have been found to exceed national standards.
The Welsh Government said construction should start by the end of 2019 and will take two years to complete.
Last week, it announced £50m funding for the route as part of £83m earmarked for transport in the budget.
The town's main street on the A483 is currently used as a route from Swansea to join the A40 to the Midlands.
Economy Secretary Ken Skates said: "We now expect to see shovels in the ground by the end of 2019 and anticipate the road being open two years later.
"Alongside our commitment to delivering the major improvements to the M4, A55, A40 and A494, I'm determined to ensure that our infrastructure improvements leave no-one behind." | A date has been set for work to start on a long-awaited bypass for a Carmarthenshire town which should ease congestion and reduce pollution. | 38464294 | [

The 82-year-old was threatened by two masked men who came to the door of his home in Gillies Lane, Baillieston, at 22:15 on Thursday.
The attackers pushed the pensioner and demanded money, before searching the house and leaving empty-handed.
Both men were wearing balaclavas and dressed all in black. Police have appealed for information.
The men, one of whom is thought to have been wearing a black "puffa" or bomber jacket, made off in the direction of Bredisholm Road.
Det Sgt Raymond Hunter, from the community investigations unit in Pollok, said the incident was "very frightening" for the victim.
He said: "We have been checking CCTV and speaking to neighbours but need to hear from people who may have been in the area at the time. There is a pub at the top of the lane on Bredisholm Road, so we would appeal to patrons from there to get in touch if they saw or heard anything.
"At this time we still have to establish why the man was targeted. The suspects seemed to think he had a significant amount of cash in his home, which was not the case, hence the reason they left empty-handed.
"Whether this was mistaken identity or a rumour, we do not know, but in any case to subject an elderly man in his home to this, is not just wrong, it was cowardly." | An elderly man has been assaulted in his Glasgow home during an attempted robbery. | 35617348 | [

Andreas Christopheros, 29, was attacked at his Truro home by David Phillips, 49, from Hastings in Sussex.
Phillips admitted assault causing grievous bodily harm with intent and was given a life term in 2015.
Judges imposed a 16-year sentence and said he will be eligible for parole after he has served eight.
Mr Justice Wyn Williams told the court: "We acknowledge that this crime involved a great deal of planning and a great deal of determination to carry through."
He ruled that Phillips, who carried out the attack in a case of mistaken identity, had wrongly been condemned as a highly dangerous man from whom the public would need future protection.
"We are therefore forced to conclude that this life sentence was not justified and must be quashed," the judge ruled. | A man who carried out an acid attack leaving his victim blind in one eye has had his sentence cut by the Court of Appeal. | 36096422 | [

The 25-year old striker is at Euro 2016 with Belgium but has fallen out of favour at Liverpool since boss Jurgen Klopp took over last October.
The forward joined the Reds for £32.5m in July 2015 under former boss Brendan Rodgers and has scored 10 goals.
He has started only eight league games under Klopp and last month said: "I'd like to stay if I remain in the coach's plans. If not, it'll become difficult."
Palace, who completed the signings of England winger Andros Townsend from Newcastle and France international goalkeeper Steve Mandanda from Marseille on Friday, were also reportedly interested in Benteke's Belgium team-mate Michy Batshuayi.
But the 22-year-old forward has been linked with a £33m move to Chelsea. | Crystal Palace have made a £25m bid to sign Christian Benteke from Liverpool. | 36689057 | [

The higher education sector largely supported remaining in the UK and since the vote, has voiced concerns about the financial implications of leaving.
Universities fear losing research funding, students and staff in the event of a "hard" Brexit.
But some universities are considering expanding into Europe as a way round the problem.
The University of Kent has had a centre in Brussels for almost 20 years, for more than 200 postgraduate students from 60 countries, and also runs branches in Paris, Athens and Rome.
These sites are recognised by relevant legal and educational authorities in each country and allow the university "to develop and foster connections that enable our students to gain important access to professional networks", said a University of Kent spokesman.
Other universities could follow suit as Brexit negotiations gather pace.
"You can imagine a situation post-Brexit where UK universities are operating as aggressively in Europe as they are in China and India and elsewhere, Chris Husbands, vice-chancellor of Sheffield Hallam University, told the Guardian newspaper.
There is evidence that UK universities are already losing out on research collaboration with European partners.
British universities, in collaboration with small businesses, receive £850m in research grants each year from the European Union.
Universities also worry that they would find it harder to recruit students and staff from EU countries if freedom of movement restrictions were brought in and the rules on fees for EU students were changed under the UK's new relationship with the EU.
EU students currently pay the same fees and have the same access to loans as UK students - and Universities UK president Dame Julia Goodfellow has already called for reassurance for those who have already started degrees at UK universities that these arrangements will last for the duration of their courses.
Branches within the EU could allow UK universities to retain research links and European funding while also allowing them to continue to attract staff and students.
The Guardian quotes one vice-chancellor as saying that institutions were "window shopping" for the EU countries with the most co-operative regulatory regimes.
Germany, Finland, the Republic of Ireland and the Baltic states are said to be emerging as the preferred options of some universities.
Alistair Jarvis, deputy chief executive of Universities UK, said British universities faced "significant challenges".
"British universities can thrive post-exit with the right support from government," said Mr Jarvis.
"To thrive post-exit, we need government to take action to make the UK an even more attractive destination for talented university staff and students from around the world and develop new policies and funding to enhance international research collaboration."
Oxford University says it has no plans to expand overseas, though vice-chancellor Louise Richardson has voiced concerns about losing staff to other countries.
"Our academics might decide to leave if they're concerned that they may not be able to get their research funded in the future.
"There are many universities in the world who would be thrilled to have them and who are approaching them," she told BBC Radio 4's Today Programme.
Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson has told the BBC that formal negotiations to leave the EU will probably begin early in 2017. | UK universities could open campuses in Europe to offset the effect of Brexit, some vice-chancellors have suggested. | 37451392 | [

Dan Groves said the "finer points" of a deal which could see Wright buy 20% of the club are yet to be released.
The Sun reported that the 30-year-old will become a club director.
Billericay are eighth in the Isthmian League Premier Division, three points adrift of a play-off place.
Wright, who was runner-up in I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here in 2011, played non-league football for a succession of clubs, including Lewes, Crawley Town and Rushden & Diamonds.
Billericay have recently been taken over by multi-millionaire Glenn Tamplin, who said shortly after completing a deal for the club that he was "comfortable" investing £10,000 a week.
The club signed former England international Paul Konchesky, 35, at the start of March. | The chairman of non-league Billericay Town has confirmed "there is truth" in reports that former The Only Way is Essex personality Mark Wright is set to invest in the club. | 39328391 | [

Investigations using ground-penetrating radar equipment have begun on land around St James Church next to the remaining ruins of Reading Abbey.
The Hidden Abbey Project hopes to uncover the high altar where the king and Queen Adeliza are buried.
The survey is the first comprehensive archaeological investigation at Reading Abbey for more than 150 years.
Further survey are due to be carried out on the abbey church, Forbury Gardens and Reading Gaol car park.
John Mullaney of the Hidden Abbey Project said: "What we shall discover we do not know - maybe much, maybe little.
"I hope all our work will tell us more about one of England's greatest buildings and about the King who was buried in Reading."
The investigations are being carried out alongside conservation work on the 900-year-old abbey which closed to the public in the summer of 2009 after a survey showed its walls were in too poor condition.
After a successful bid for £1.77m of lottery funding they are due re-open to the public in 2018.
Henry I, son of William the Conqueror, founded Reading Abbey in 1121.
After his death in Normandy in December 1135, his body was brought to Reading sewn into a bull's hide. He was laid to rest in January 1136.
The abbey was partly destroyed during the dissolution of the monasteries by Henry VIII but there is no definite record of what happened to Henry I's remains. | Survey work to find the tomb of King Henry I, who is believed to be buried at Reading Abbey, has started. | 36510595 | [

Colin Shields put Belfast ahead before Scott Aarssen levelled late in the first period.
However, second-period goals from Ryan Martinelli and Mark Garside left the Giants in control.
Alex Foster increased Belfast's lead to 4-1 before Steve Saviano completed the scoring with five minutes left.
Belfast have a game in hand on the Devils, who defeated Coventry Blaze 5-3 on Monday evening.
Cardiff are back in action against Blaze on Tuesday while the Giants are at home to Manchester Storm on Wednesday evening as the busy festive period continues.
The Giants took the lead after 15:52 on Monday with Shields netting after being set up by James Desmarais and Saviano.
Aarssen netted on the powerplay in the last minute of the first period but Martinelli restored the Giants' advantage on 27:41 after combining well with Saviano.
Garside then fired into the Braehead net on 33:50 before Foster's powerplay effort on 51:45 and Saviano's concluding goal on 55:18.
After Wednesday's game against Manchester, Braehead Clan are the visitors on Friday before Coventry Blaze take on the Giants at the SSE Arena on 2 January. | Belfast Giants remain within four points of Elite League leaders Cardiff Devils after earning a 5-1 Boxing Day away win over Braehead Clan. | 38440000 | [

The first 18 of 59 fibreglass moths, each about 5ft (1.5m) wide, have been placed across the city to mark the 75th anniversary of her death.
Ms Johnson flew a De Havilland Gipsy Moth airplane from the UK to Australia in 1930 - becoming the first woman to do so.
The moth sculptures have been decorated by local artists.

In 2010, the city commemorated the 25th anniversary of the death of poet Phillip Larkin with decorated toad sculptures.
The success of that idea was behind the "A Moth for Amy" trail.
Ms Johnson was born in St George's Road, Hull, on 1 July 1903.
Her solo flight to Australia took 19 days and she landed in front of a huge crowd in Darwin on 24 May 1930.
The 37-year-old died in mysterious circumstances during World War Two when the RAF plane she was transporting crashed in the Thames Estuary on 5 January 1941.
Her body has never been found. | Models of moths have been appearing on buildings in Hull to commemorate aviator Amy Johnson who was born there. | 36643936 | [

Since dethroning Wladimir Klitschko in Dusseldorf last November, the Briton has resembled a runaway lorry - smashing through road blocks and red lights, skittling well-meaning people frantically waving warning flags, and only slowing down to shout obscenities and honk his horn, the louder the better.
But that can happen when your mind is scrambled and you don't know what's what: you might be in the driver's seat but your hands aren't on the wheel, your feet are up on the dashboard and there's a brick on the accelerator pedal.
Another way of looking at it is that Fury's crash actually came on that fateful night in Germany and he has been spewing smoke ever since. The morning after the Englishman's stunning upset of Klitschko and his acquisition of the WBA, IBF and WBO belts, he admitted he might struggle to cope.
But not even those closest to him could have anticipated how true that would prove. Having beaten the various boxing authorities to the punch and relinquished the belts before being banned, stripped or both, it's anyone's guess as to when - if ever - he'll have his keys back and his engine revving again.
Fury has been speaking about his mental health struggles for years, with disarming and often alarming frankness. So his pronouncement immediately after his victory over Klitschko and the recent news that he was withdrawing from the scheduled rematch because of depression was not a shock.
When I interviewed him in 2013, he described himself as "an all-action man in anything I do. If I'm drinking, I'm drinking until I can't stand up. If I'm going out for Chinese, I'm going to an all-you-can-eat Chinese. If I'm eating cake, I'm eating the whole cake. I don't know what you'd call me. An idiot, maybe?"
Hardly surprising, then, that having fulfilled his dream of winning the world heavyweight crown, Fury would lose focus. Most people having fallen down drunk or eaten a whole cake would steer clear of booze and Battenbergs for a while. But Fury is not most people.
Fury is not the first boxer to lose motivation having reached the pinnacle of the sport, and he certainly won't be the last. Not many people climb Everest twice.
The repeated claims from Fury's camp that his victory was downplayed by the British media, and that they had an agenda against him from the outset, are delusional
After pulling off one of the greatest shocks in sporting history by beating the seemingly invincible Mike Tyson in 1990, Buster Douglas didn't train much, got fat and lost the world heavyweight crown to Evander Holyfield in his first defence. The American promptly retired, almost doubled in weight, then nearly died after falling into a diabetic coma before being struck down by depression. Same old, same old.
Jess Willard's victory over the great Jack Johnson in 1915 was almost as unbelievable as Douglas's upset of Tyson, and his reign even more shameful. Willard clearly didn't fancy fighting much, defending the world heavyweight crown once in four years before being bashed up by the great Jack Dempsey.
Sometimes depression can be triggered by a lack of motivation for the thing that defines you, sometimes that lack of motivation is triggered by depression. Either way, Fury claims he hasn't been near a gym for months and has been drinking like a fish and hoovering up cocaine instead, in a forlorn bid to mask the pain.

In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine this month, Fury accused the British media of conducting a "witch hunt" against him and the British public of racism. It is important to separate the different links in Fury's sometimes rambling trains of thought.
Before and after his victory over Klitschko, sports writers openly discussed whether Fury should be saved from himself. Different journalists operate under different editorial guidelines, but the view of most was that they had been sent to Germany to report on a fight, not Fury's controversial outbursts.
As such, the repeated claims from Fury's camp that his victory was downplayed by the British media, and that they had an agenda against him from the outset, are delusional. Almost every boxing writer proclaimed Fury's performance as one of the finest ever by a British fighter, and they were right.
But the problem with a siege mentality is that you forget what's happening beyond the castle walls, who your real friends are, and paranoia sets in.
When Fury threatened violence against a journalist and later took aim at bisexual, transsexual and Jewish people, it was internet vloggers - to whom he had granted intimate access - who provided the platform. The so-called mainstream media (newspapers and major broadcasters) had been frozen out, ironically because they had dared to report what he had told those same vloggers.
Fury's camp would do well to memorise a quote attributed to George Orwell: "Journalism is printing what someone else does not want printing. Everything else is public relations." How many times has Fury been saved by journalistic self-censorship?
In threatening that journalist, the Mail on Sunday's Oliver Holt, for reporting that he had compared homosexuality to paedophilia, Fury betrayed his sense of entitlement - not only because of his feats in the ring, but because of his religious convictions. If it's in the Bible, how dare anyone question his beliefs?
If you make questionable statements about gay people or Jews or women, the media will come down on you, whether you are a fine boxer, a deeply religious man, a nice bloke really, none of the above or all of them. Fury's Traveller heritage doesn't come into it, as least as far as most of the media is concerned.
"I know Tyson personally and he's a really nice guy," says Ricky Hatton, Fury's fellow Mancunian and another boxer who has struggled with depression. "But sometimes he puts his mouth into gear before his brain and when someone puts a camera in front of him he feels he has to say something outrageous."
Fury fans frequently claim that Anthony Joshua is given preferential treatment by the media, but this is because the IBF heavyweight champion - Fury was stripped of that belt shortly after winning it because he would not face the federation's mandatory challenger - largely conducts himself like a gentleman. As for Joshua's brushes with the law, they have been covered at length in the media and he has clearly learnt from them.
However, some of the racial abuse Fury receives on social media is despicable.
When you are called every name under the sun on a daily basis, it is likely to have an effect on your mental wellbeing. No wonder, as Fury also stated in his interview with Rolling Stone, that he feels like everyone is out to get him.
On Wednesday, the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBofC) met to discuss what should be done with Fury, and has suspended his licence, pending a meeting with him. It could hardly do otherwise. It did the same to Hatton in 2010, also following allegations of cocaine use, and, as the BBBofC's general secretary Robert Smith has pointed out, "cocaine is against the law of the land".
There was also Fury's alleged use of performance-enhancing drugs and a subsequent ban to consider (Fury has an appeal hearing scheduled in November), as well as the allegation that he refused to take a drugs test (a misdemeanour that can lead to a four-year ban) and the argument that a man with severe mental health issues shouldn't be anywhere near a boxing ring.
It should also be remembered that the BBBofC has already fined Fury twice for misconduct and that it has boxing's image to think about - as mad as that sounds.
Even if Fury hadn't voluntarily given up his belts, the WBA and WBO would have stripped him of them.
It might seem callous, but the sanctioning bodies are businesses, the heavyweight belts are their biggest money-spinners and it is only fair that other boxers should be allowed to fight for them. It makes no difference whether a boxer has meningitis, a broken leg or mental health issues, the sport must move on. As WBO chief Jose Izquierdo put it: "We can't have a belt held hostage."
One can only hope that, during his absence from the ring, Fury gets the help he so desperately needs and returns fitter and more focused.
"Being someone who lives by the seat of his pants and for the moment, this could be the end of him," was Hatton's grim assessment. "He doesn't like boxing and finds the training hard. It's not looking good.
"But I was in a dark place, didn't care if I lived or died. I did very well in boxing but near enough everything wrong in life. The only way I got out of it was by asking for help. I fought through it and I hope Tyson can do the same."
Fingers crossed that Fury will be remembered for that fine performance against Klitschko in Dusseldorf - and for many fine performances in the future - rather than as a wreck, spewing smoke on the side of the road as bright lights flash by. | For a man often described as capricious, Tyson Fury's chaotic reign as world heavyweight champion was strangely predictable. | 37638479 | [

The British pair entered through separate corridors at a Liverpool hotel on Monday and were divided by security for the traditional pre-fight face-off.
Bellew, 34, called Haye "a broken man", as they repeatedly exchanged insults.
Haye, 36, threw a punch at Bellew at a November media gathering and had warned they would need a barrier between them.
WBC cruiserweight champion Bellew will fight at heavyweight for the first time, completing a two-division jump after competing at light-heavyweight as recently as 2013.
Former WBA heavyweight champion Haye has had two routine wins since returning from over three years out of the sport.
The London fighter seemed frustrated as fans in attendance drowned out his comments with songs on Monday - and he responded by insulting those in the crowd and said Liverpudlian Bellew would "need all the support he can get".
An agitated Haye told the crowd: "Deep in all of your tiny minds you know this guy is getting drilled to the canvas pretty fast."
Bellew said: "I am going in with a man who was absolutely fantastic. When he was in his prime, an immense athlete - but the tank is very, very low and it does not last very long.
"When the gas runs out, the big fat Scouser is going to steam through him."
However, Haye's trainer, Shane McGuigan, predicted WBC cruiserweight champion Bellew would be "cannon fodder".
Haye's wins since returning - both inside two rounds - prompted Dave Coldwell, Bellew's trainer, to question if the shoulder surgery he had in 2013 could hamper him in a longer contest.
"When you've had major surgery as an athlete, you are never the same man, you have doubts in your mind," said Coldwell, who once worked for Hayemaker promotions.
"Your surgeon advised you to retire, you come back but you don't know how you will perform on the night."
Addressing his opponent, Bellew added: "I've seen people have the operations you have had. Reconstructive shoulder surgery is a big thing, your right hand becomes a looping right hand."
Bellew holds a record of 28 wins and a draw from 31 fights, with Haye boasting the same number of wins from 30 contests. | David Haye and Tony Bellew were physically kept apart at a heated news conference for Saturday's heavyweight bout at London's O2 Arena. | 39110172 | [

St Botolph's Church, known as Boston Stump, was badly damaged following a tidal surge in 2013 that hit the Lincolnshire town of Boston.
The floodlights were replaced but the switch-on was put in doubt when two lights were stolen.
Reverend Alyson Buxton said it was "fantastic" to see the church lit up.
"We've all been so excited for this moment," she said.
"It's wonderful to see so many people here who've had a wonderful service inside. There's at least 400 people here so it's absolutely fantastic."
The lights were switched on by BBC Radio Lincolnshire presenters Carla George and Scott Dalton.
Peter Sherlock, who gave the church £2,000 to reinstall the stolen lights, was among those present and said the service was "very moving".
He is still offering a reward of £2,000 for information about who stole the lights.
Matt Warman, the Boston and Skegness MP, was also there.
"A lot of Boston's heritage is about this building and it's hugely significant for everyone," he said.
"It's been a long time since the floods that turned these lights off and I think people are now finally starting to see that we are able to get past that and to show people that Boston is unquenchable." | The exterior of a church known for its tall tower has been lit up for the first time in two years after it was flooded. | 34696683 | [

Blades goalkeeper George Long saved Kyle Vassell's first-half spot kick.
Billy Sharp then put the visitors ahead with a low shot, his 20th goal of the season, only for Abu Ogogo to level from Sullay Kaikai's cross.
But Che Adams won it for United, who are four points outside the top six, firing in low from the edge of the box.
Shrewsbury are now without a win in seven games, during which they have picked up just four points out of a possible 21.
Shrewsbury manager Micky Mellon told BBC Radio Shropshire:
"If I'm absolutely honest, which I always try to be, I thought the only team that was going to score was us because we looked like we had the momentum.
"But then a bit of slack defending from a throw-in and we got punished. It was hugely frustrating.
"I couldn't fault much of the performance. We deserved much more than we got, but a bit of loose defending on two occasions cost us." | Sheffield United kept their slim League One play-off hopes alive by beating Shrewsbury Town, who are just two points above the relegation zone. | 36021440 | [

The Republican nominee denied ever sexually assaulting women, but turned his fire on ex-President Bill Clinton in a bitter US presidential debate.
"There's never been anybody in the history of politics that has been so abusive to women," he said.
Hillary Clinton refused to address his comments about her husband.
Mr Trump's attack on the Clintons came after moderator Anderson Cooper asked him about a 2005 video released on Friday that revealed Mr Trump bragging about groping women.
The 70-year-old billionaire dismissed the remarks as "just words" and "locker room talk".
When pressed on whether he had engaged in sexual misconduct, he denied doing so and instead focused on Mr Clinton's previous indiscretions.
No criminal charges have been brought against Mr Clinton in any allegations of sexual assault.
Mrs Clinton said the explosive video, which has sparked an exodus of Republicans denying support to their presidential nominee, "represents exactly who he is".
"With prior Republican nominees, I disagreed with them," she added, "but I never questioned their fitness to serve.
When the two took to the stage in St Louis for their second of three debates, they did not shake hands, striking a bitter tone that would continue throughout.
Mr Trump said if he won, he would appoint a special prosecutor to investigate Mrs Clinton and she would be in prison over her private email arrangements.
"Everything he just said is absolutely false but I'm not surprised," she responded. "It's just awfully good that someone with the temperament of Donald Trump is not in charge of the law in our country."
"Because you'd be in jail," he interrupted.
Mr Trump also said his Democratic rival "has tremendous hate in her heart" while criticising her for referring to his supporters as "deplorables".
Mrs Clinton said she apologised for the comment, adding: "My argument is not with his supporters, it's with him, about the hateful and divisive campaign he has run."
The two also sparred on the conflict in Syria, Russian aggression, Trump's refusal to release his tax returns and his plan for the "extreme vetting" of immigrants arriving from countries with links to terrorism.
The evening concluded when an audience member asked the candidates to say one positive thing about each other.
Mrs Clinton said his children were a great reflection of him while Mr Trump called his opponent "a fighter" who never gives up.
An hour before the debate began, Mr Trump appeared at a news conference with women who accused Bill Clinton of sexual misconduct.
He joined three women who allege the former president sexually assaulted them and called the women "very courageous".
The Republican was under immense pressure after making obscene comments about women in the video.
At least 33 senior Republicans - including senators, members of Congress, and state governors - have withdrawn their support since the video surfaced on Friday.
Donald Trump entered this debate threatening to unload every bit of malicious allegations and rumours on Hillary Clinton. And he did.
Accusations of Bill Clinton's sexual impropriety? Check. Her work as a public defender representing a rapist? Yup. He even tied it up in a bow by remarking that his Democratic opponent should be in jail.
Mrs Clinton said she would take the high road, but she did get in her shots as well, saying the illicit video of Mr Trump's lewd comments showed who he really is.
And then, after that nuclear exchange, the debate chugged along - with Mr Trump often gaining the upper hand. If his weakness is policy knowledge, there were few opportunities where his shortcoming were exposed.
Instead, there was plenty of time for Mrs Clinton to offer a yet another muddled answer on her email server and essentially confirm that the Wikileaks hacked speech excerpts are accurate. Mr Trump offered word salads in answers about healthcare reform and Syria policy. If anything, from there the debate was a draw.
With Mrs Clinton ahead right now, a draw will probably suit her just fine. But it wasn't the knock-out blow her supporters probably hoped for.
Who won the debate?
Mrs Clinton also defended controversial remarks she made in a private speech that was made public in leaked emails on Saturday.
The transcript had revealed she said a politician has a public and private position, but at the debate she said she had watched a film about Abraham Lincoln and was referring only to what he had done.
Clinton's Wall Street speeches leaked
Mr Trump appeared with Paula Jones, a former Arkansas state employee who settled a sexual harassment suit against Mr Clinton for $850,000 in 1999 with no admission of guilt.
Juanita Broaddrick, who claimed Mr Clinton raped her in a hotel room in 1978, also appeared with Mr Trump.
Mr Clinton has denied the claim through his lawyer and no charges have ever been brought against him.
The third woman was Kathleen Willey, a former White House aide who said Mr Clinton groped her in his office in 1993, but had previously said it never happened.
Mr Clinton has also denied this claim.
Katty Kay:
Kathy Shelton, a fourth woman who spoke, encountered Mrs Clinton in a criminal case when she was 12 years old.
Early in Mrs Clinton's legal career, she was appointed to defend Ms Shelton's rapist, despite objections, and had his sentence reduced to a lesser charge.
Years later, an audio tape emerged of Mrs Clinton speaking with a reporter, in which she can be heard laughing about the case.
During one instance, she laughed after explaining that her client had passed a lie detector test, which convinced her to never trust them again.

Dave Robins from Swanley, Kent, leased non-emergency ambulances to Coperforma, which was stripped of its Sussex patient transport contract on Tuesday.
He began providing them in July after two other suppliers went bust, but has said he has only received one payment.
Coperforma said all contractors were paid in full for services received.
"In line with our contractual policy we do not discuss with third parties details of the relationship we have with individual transport service providers," a spokesman said.
More news from Sussex
Mr Robins, of UK Ambulance Sales, said he lost almost £200,000 in the summer after two patient transport companies in Sussex went bust.
Coperforma stepped in to keep the service running and, he said, did a deal with him to lease ambulances for six months from 1 July.
"They made payments for 1 July, supposed to be a six-month basis, [and] haven't made payment since.
"Invoiced them for the full amount. Nothing at all, so I feel quite aggrieved about what's gone on," Mr Robins said.
Not for the first time Coperforma are having to deal with disgruntled contractors.
We saw it with VM Langfords, Docklands Medical Services, Dedicated Care in Eastbourne and now UK Ambulance Sales.
As the "managed" handover between Coperforma and South Central Ambulance Service begins, so people within the industry are telling me that confidence in the service and in Coperforma is fragile.
Indeed, "fragile" is how the boss of the Clinical Commissioning Group, Wendy Carberry, described the entire Sussex Patient Transport Service when I interviewed her this week.
It might be that fragility leads to more problems in the months to come.
The spokesman for Coperforma said: "I can categorically state that our payments to our contractors are up to date for service received to support the Sussex patient transport service.
"I can also confirm that we are in different stages of negotiations with a small number of providers over invoice queries which we are trying to resolve as speedily as possible."
Coperforma is due to hand over its patient transport service for Sussex in a "managed transition" to South Central Ambulance Service by next April. | A businessman who supplied ambulances to an NHS patient transfer service says he was left with "thousands of pounds of debt" because he was not paid. | 37873344 | [

Joe Storey, 27, had denied murdering Kerri McAuley, 32, who was found dead at Southalls Way, Norwich, on 8 January, but admitted manslaughter.
Storey was high on cocaine when he punched mother-of-two Ms McAuley after a row about an ex-girlfriend.
The jury at Norwich Crown Court took less than an hour to find Storey guilty. He will be sentenced on Friday.
The court had heard friends describe a history of domestic violence which left Ms McAuley "disfigured" and fearing for her life.
In her texts Ms McAuley described Mr Storey's behaviour as "not normal". She wrote: "you are not ready to care for anyone but yourself".
"You were trying to kill me, you were suffocating me until I nearly passed out", adding that if he stays away "hopefully you won't go to prison for beating me to a pulp".
Later Mr Storey and Ms McAuley agreed to meet up again.
Pathologist Dr Benjamin Swift said in the fatal attack Ms McAuley sustained multiple facial lacerations and one of her ears was torn.
Dr Swift said some of the injuries were caused by "blunt force impact".
Storey, of Murrells Court, Norwich, had admitted the pair had a turbulent relationship.
He said he was staying at Ms McAuley's home when she confronted him about his ex-girlfriend who she thought was back in contact with him.
Storey said he struck her five or six times and had a phone in his hand at the time but insisted he had "not to hit her with it".
Prosecutor Simon Spence said Storey behaved like an animal and if "he'd had a scrap of humanity" Storey would have called an ambulance after the attack instead of leaving Ms McAuley to die in the flat. | A man has been found guilty of murdering his "on-off partner" by bludgeoning her to death. | 40291028 | [

Critics say the new contract involves pay cuts of up to 30%, with "normal hours" extended to include 7am to 10pm on every day except Sunday.
The British Medical Association said the ballot reflected doctors' anger.
But the government described the current contracts as "outdated" and "unfair".
The BMA said the sticking point was over NHS employers' refusal to budge on classifying Saturday shifts in the same way as weekday ones.
Junior doctors get extra payments for work outside "normal hours" - which are currently classified as 7am to 7pm, Monday to Friday.
Chair of the BMA's UK junior doctors committee, Dr Johann Malawana, said it wanted a contract that protected patient safety and was "fair to both junior doctors and the health service as a whole".
"We can only do this if the government is prepared to work collaboratively in a genuine negotiation. Unfortunately, they have chosen to ride roughshod over the concerns of doctors with their threat of imposition."
A Department of Health spokesman said "We really value the work and commitment of junior doctors, but their current contract is outdated and unfair - the best way of changing that is negotiation."
Danny Mortimer, Chief Executive, NHS Employers said: "Imposing a contract is not the preferred solution of any party - the door is still open for the BMA to come back to the negotiating table and we urge them to do so."
Analysis: Hugh Pym, BBC health editor
In 2012, the Department of Health called for changes to a junior doctors' contract which dated back to the late 1990s.
The BMA agreed to discuss terms and conditions for their members.
After two years of talks, negotiations broke down. In August this year, the BMA refused to go back to the negotiating table, accusing the government of a "heavy-handed" approach, and ministers then said a new contract would be imposed.
The Scottish and Welsh administrations, however, have said they will continue with current arrangements.
The case for contract reform surrounds apparent inconsistencies in what is described to be a highly complex system which can result in varied working hours in different trusts.
A more transparent system and with payment linked to responsibilities is what the employers claim to be seeking.
This would involve higher basic rates of pay than now, which would mean higher pension entitlements.
While NHS employers acknowledge some doctors would lose out, they argue that some would gain.

The NFL had banned Brady for allegedly colluding to deflate balls during a play-off game, but on Friday a US judge ruled it had "legal deficiencies".
"I don't think it has been good for our sport, to a large degree, we have all lost," said Brady, 38.
He can now play on 10 September against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
In a Facebook post, he added: "While I am pleased to be eligible to play, I am sorry our league had to endure this.
"I can't wait to fully commit my energy and emotion to focus on the challenges of the 2015 NFL season.
"I want to thank my family, my friends, all of the fans, past and current players and my team-mates for the support they have given me throughout this challenging experience."
He added he hoped "the attention of NFL fans can return to where it belongs - on the many great players and coaches who work so hard every week, and sacrifice so much, to make this game great".

The NFL had banned Brady after investigating claims the Patriots had deflated match balls to gain an advantage in January's 45-7 play-off victory over Indianapolis Colts, which sent them to the Super Bowl.
Deflated balls are considered easier to throw and catch.
Brady, considered one of the best quarterbacks ever and entering his 16th season, maintains neither he nor the club did anything wrong.
The league has already fined the Patriots a record $1m (£660,000) and stripped the team of two draft pick following its 243-page report into 'deflate-gate'.
The report found Brady was "generally aware" of the scheme.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has said that the league will appeal the judge's ruling. | New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady says he is sorry the NFL "had to endure" the "deflate-gate" scandal, after his four-game ban was overturned. | 34162733 | [

His side beat Cheshire on Sunday to retain the title they won last year.
However, with crowds at the final falling, there is speculation that the Rugby Football Union could take the game to a smaller ground in future.
"Hopefully they don't take it away from the stadium, because young players want to play at this stadium," said Dawe.
"It all depends on the RFU, doesn't it? How they keep this competition going, how they keep it alive."
Cornwall have now reached the showpiece game in each of the last four years.
The final of the competition, also known as the Bill Beaumont Cup, has been played at Twickenham since 1984.
"It is a problem, it's not perfect by any stretch of the imagination," Dawe added to BBC Sport.
"All you can do is the best with what you're dealt and don't look at it too gloomily, but who knows what the future holds." | Cornwall coach Graham Dawe hopes the County Championship final is not moved from Twickenham as part of a potential revamp of the competition. | 36417944 | [

Professional hunter Theo Bronkhorst and farm owner Honest Ndlovu, were charged with poaching offences and for not having the required hunting permit.
The pair were granted bail of $1,000 each (£638) and ordered to appear in court again on 5 August.
Walter Palmer, the US dentist who shot the animal known as Cecil, has left Zimbabwe but could also face charges.
Mr Palmer said he paid for the hunt, but was not aware of the lion's identity.
He said he regretted shooting the animal and believed he was on a legal hunt. He relied on professional guides to find a lion and obtain the necessary permits, he said.
Mr Bronkhorst and Mr Ndlovu could face up to 15 years in prison if found guilty.
Cecil is believed to have died on 1 July, but the carcass was not discovered until a few days later.
Mr Palmer is said to have shot and injured the animal with a bow. The group did not find the wounded lion until 40 hours later, when he was shot dead with a gun.
Separately, court records have shown that Mr Palmer has a felony record in the US after killing a black bear in the state of Wisconsin in 2006.
The dentist was given a one-year probation and fined $3,000, having shot the creature outside an authorised zone and then tried to pass it off as having been killed elsewhere.
Records from the Minnesota Board of Dentistry also show that Mr Palmer was the subject of a sexual harassment complaint which was settled in 2006.
A receptionist alleged that he had made indecent comments to her. Mr Palmer admitted no wrongdoing and agreed to pay out more than $127,000.
The American tourist is believed to have paid about $50,000 to go on the hunt in Zimbabwe.
More than 265,000 people have signed an online "Justice for Cecil" petition, calling on Zimbabwe's government to stop issuing hunting permits for endangered animals.
As news of the killing and details about the perpetrator spread online, there was a slew of comments on social media condemning Walter Palmer, with some people calling for him to face justice.
How the internet descended on the man who killed Cecil the lion
Mr Palmer insists that he believed his guides had secured "all proper permits" for the hunt.
"I relied on the expertise of my local professional guides to ensure a legal hunt," he said in a statement on Tuesday.
"I deeply regret that my pursuit of an activity I love and practice responsibly and legally resulted in the taking of this lion."
He said he had not been contacted by authorities in Zimbabwe or the US but would "assist them in any inquiries they may have".
The dentist is believed to be back in the US, although his exact whereabouts are unknown.
His dental practice was closed on Tuesday and a note was placed on the door referring visitors to a public relations firm.
Cecil the lion was skinned and beheaded, according to the Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force (ZCTF), a local charity.
The ZCTF said the hunters had used bait to lure him outside Hwange National Park during a night-time pursuit.

The animal had a GPS collar fitted for a research project by UK-based Oxford University that allowed authorities to track its movements. The hunters tried to destroy it, but failed, according to the ZCTF.
On Monday, the head of the ZCTF told the BBC that Cecil "never bothered anybody" and was "one of the most beautiful animals to look at". | Two men accused of helping a US tourist hunt and kill Zimbabwe's most famous lion have been released on bail. | 33699346 | [

The rig ran aground off Lewis during a storm on Monday while being transported to Malta.
Sightseers have been warned to stay away from the scene of the grounding, and a 300m temporary exclusion zone has been put in place around Dalmore beach.
The Maritime and Coastguard Agency said it was necessary to keep roads clear.
The rig, which is carrying 280 tonnes of diesel oil, broke free from its tug during towing and severe weather prevented the line being reconnected.
A salvage team began an inspection of the structure on Tuesday in preparation for the more detailed assessment.
Hugh Shaw, the Secretary of State's Representative for Maritime Salvage and Intervention, said the initial survey was to check "a number of things including fuel tanks".
Officials said the aim was to carry-out as much work as possible on Wednesday while the weather was favourable, but warned that work to refloat the rig could take some time.
Mark Rodaway, of the Maritime and Coastguard Agency, said it was necessary to keep roads clear for emergency crews and salvage teams.
He said: "We understand that this incident is of interest to people living in the area but we're asking them to stay away to ensure easy access for emergency services and salvage teams.
"Also the last thing we want is for people to be injured or worse trying to get a closer look on remote cliff paths."
Three vessels including the emergency towing vessel Herakles are the scene of the grounding.
Union Bear, a multipurpose offshore vessel, has also arrived at Stornoway Harbour from Aberdeen to assist in the salvage operation.
There were no personnel aboard the 17,000-tonne drilling rig when it became detached from the tug in the early hours of Monday, 8 August.
The semi-submersible platform was being towed from Norway to Malta from where, it is understood. it was to be taken to Turkey to be scrapped.
The Marine Accident Investigation Branch has begun an inquiry into what happened | Salvage teams working at the Transocean Winner oil rig are expected to carry out a detailed inspection later on Wednesday. | 37025848 | [

Former Pompey shot stopper Carson brilliantly prevented Michael Smith's powerful header and Michael Doyle's 20-yard pile driver,
He then blocked a Conor Chaplin header in stoppage time as the hosts missed out on the opportunity to put more pressure on the top three.
Pompey, unchanged for a fourth successive game, looked the more likely to score throughout, Gary Roberts the first to put pressure on the Pools goal as he won the ball on the touchline before dragging wide on the edge of the box.
Winger Kyle Bennett was next in the queue to see a sight of Carson's goal, his give-and-go with Smith was excellent but he hooked his finish past the post, and then Gareth Evans and Roberts both had further first-half efforts.
Hartlepool had shipped 11 in their last three matches in all competitions and not scored in seven fixtures against Pompey, and hardly threatened on this occasion.
Carl Baker twisted and turned himself into a shooting position for the hosts after the break but his chance was deflected over, before substitute Chaplin air kicked at Kal Naismith's cross.

Officers were called to Lowe Street in Whitmore Reans, Wolverhampton at 17:00 GMT on Thursday when a 17-year-old boy was found with stab wounds.
Several minutes later a second call was made to police when a shotgun was fired twice in nearby Deveron Close.
West Midlands Police believe the men, who have now been bailed, were linked to both incidents.
The teenager remains in hospital in a stable condition, police said.
DCI Chris Hanson said: "We believe both of these offences were linked and were the result of a dispute between two groups.
"The shooting happened following an argument between a group and a lone man with a gun." | Ten men were arrested after a teenager was stabbed and gun shots were fired, police said. | 35735432 | [

Their medal followed Samantha Murray's individual gold and the women's team silver earlier in the week.
After strong fencing, swimming and show jumping rounds, French and Evans took an 18-second advantage into the final shoot-run combined phase.
However, Lithuania's team overtook them and won gold by just three seconds.
There was no shame in defeat, though, with Laura Asadauskaite being the reigning Olympic champion and Justinas Kinderis having won the men's world title last year.

"With Laura behind me I was running for my life, I was really scared," said 23-year-old French, who won silver with Murray in the women's relay.
"It's been a really good day though."
The British pair were particularly impressive in the morning's fencing round, winning 27 of their 38 battles to rank second.
They climbed to the top of the rankings with a strong 2x100m freestyle relay swim before both delivered clean show jumping routines.
Although French maintained Britain's advantage heading into the changeover in the combined event, 21-year-old Evans struggled in the second shooting phase which allowed Kinderis to move clear.
"Me and Justin were playing mind games the whole way around," Evans told BBC Sport.
"Unfortunately I didn't managed to pull it off today, but I'm still happy to have won a silver medal."
The mixed-team event is not currently part of the Olympic programme, but the sport's international governing body - UIPM - hope it could be included for the 2020 Games in Tokyo.

On Monday, the BBC's Panorama programme uncovered several safety concerns, from staffing levels to waste storage.
The Mannin Branch of the Celtic League has called on the Manx government to campaign for a full, independent inspection of the plant in Cumbria.
Sellafield says the site is safe and has been improved with significant investment in recent years.
A spokesman added: "Safety is our priority and we are managing a very complex site which has got a great deal of hazardous radioactive materials on it."
The Isle of Man is located about 34 miles (55km) from the nuclear fuel reprocessing plant.
Due to its potential impact on the Manx fishing industry, the Manx government began monitoring radioactivity levels in the Irish Sea in 1989.
A government spokesman said: "Seafood fished in Manx waters can contain traces of radio-nuclides associated with effluent discharges from Sellafield to the Irish Sea, therefore these are monitored regularly to confirm that they remain well below maximum safe limits."
The BBC investigation was prompted by a whistle-blower - a former senior manager who was worried by conditions at the plant.
He said his biggest fear was a fire in one of the nuclear waste silos or in one of the processing plants.
The Manx government said it was particularly concerned about "the structural integrity of ageing waste storage ponds and silos".
A spokesman added: "However we are content that Sellafield Ltd and the nuclear regulators are trying to improve the safety situation.
"The government has asked questions about the technical solutions being developed to decommission these redundant structures and representatives have visited the site to look at the work under way". | The Manx government is "concerned" about the safety of the Sellafield nuclear site, a spokesman said. | 37307763 | [

The US-owned retail firm, which processes hundreds of thousands of online orders each week, could have put millions of transactions at risk, security expert Paul Moore estimates.
He first noticed the issue in March 2014 and contacted Asda to report it.
Asda said it had now fixed the problem and no customers had been affected.
The firm, whose website is run by US retail giant Walmart, told the BBC: "Asda and Walmart take the security of our websites very seriously. We are aware of the issue and have implemented changes to improve the security on our website."
"The points flagged pose a low risk to customers and our monitoring of these security issues indicate that no customer information has been compromised over that two-year period."
Since Mr Moore went public with the information it has acted to improve its security.
"The small risk to customer information has been removed and an update has been applied, we're now adding further enhancements which will be completed by this evening. In short, one of the two issues is fixed but nothing that remains poses any risk to any customer information or card details," it told the BBC.
The issue occurred because of two well-known exploits, cross-site scripting (XSS) and cross-site request forgery (CSRF), which combined, can offer hackers access to all the information users put on the site, said Mr Moore.
It means that - if someone had both the Asda website open and another site that is infected with malware - they could be vulnerable to attack.
"CSRF exploits the trust a site has in the user's browser, allowing an attacker to issue requests on your behalf and from your own PC. XSS allows an attacker to embed malicious content into the page to alter anything and everything the user can see," he explained.
Asda is by no means alone in having a website open to these security flaws but Mr Moore believes that it should have acted more quickly to rectify the problem.
"Back in March 2014, I contacted Asda to report several security vulnerabilities and despite a fix promised 'in the next few weeks', little appears to have changed," he said.
"Asda also failed to issue adequate security headers which help mitigate the risk by instructing the browser to discard content which ASDA deem malicious or unnecessary. The majority of modern browsers support content security policy (CSP) which effectively blocks this type of attack, but very few sites adopt this technique," he added.
When he published his blog, he advised users "to shop elsewhere".
"Asda/Walmart have had ample opportunity to fix these issues and have failed to do so. If you must continue shopping with Asda, open a private window and do not open any other tabs or windows until you've logged out," he added.
Prof Alan Woodward, a security expert from the University of Surrey, said that Asda's assertion that its site is secure is correct but that does not mean that users are not at risk.
"Cross-site scripting can easily be exploited by hackers if someone has a website open that has this malware embedded at the same time as they are shopping online and the shopping site has not protected the data entry fields appropriately," he said.
"Most people do have dozens of tabs open at any given time."
He did not go as far as suggesting people stop shopping there but added: "I think I'd play safe and make sure you have only one tab open just in case one of your other sites is infected."
"This is an example of of how companies need to look beyond the boundaries of their own website. This is a common exploit but it can be very easily fixed. It is half a line of code that can fix it," he added.
There are scanners available online that can immediately tell whether websites have the correct security headers.
One such site that scans the web for such headers found that, out of the million most popular websites, only 1,365 sites had them in place. | A flaw on supermarket Asda's website gave hackers the chance to collect customers' personal information and payment details, the BBC has learned. | 35350789 | [

Michael Patterson was handed the order after being convicted of break-ins in the Levenshulme and Longsight areas of the city.
His "consistent method" was to carry out burglaries after entering rear alleyways, magistrates heard.
The 49-year-old, of Field Bank Grove, Gorton admitted three counts of burglary and possession of a Class B drug and was jailed for 16 months.
The ban, known as a criminal behaviour order, will run indefinitely after his release.
It will ban Patterson from entering rear alleyways with the exception of the one behind his own home.
The order also prohibits him from entering an area of Stockport Road, from Stanley Grove in Longsight up to Albert Road in Levenshulme, and the surrounding streets.
Premises targeted in the break-ins included a takeaway, a solicitors' office and a mobile phone shop.
Nigel Murphy, Manchester City Council's executive member for neighbourhood services, said: "Michael Patterson has used the same technique repeatedly to commit a number of offences and this order will prevent him continuing the pattern." | A prolific burglar has been banned from all of Manchester's back alleyways. | 38734988 | [

Police said the rockets had landed in open areas, without causing damage or injury. The Israeli military said they were fired from Sinai in Egypt.
Warning sirens went off just before the rockets hit. The city's airport has been closed and security tightened.
Eilat, a popular tourist destination on the Red Sea, has previously been hit by rockets fired by militants in neighbouring Egypt and Jordan.
The Egyptian military said it was investigating the incident.
Hours after the attack, a small militant Salafi group, the Mujahedeen Shura Council, said it had fired two Grad rockets at "occupied Eilat", in a statement carried on jihadist websites.
About 50,000 people live in Eilat, and tens of thousands of holidaymakers visit every year.
The Israeli military said an Iron Dome anti-rocket battery - designed to intercept short-range missiles - which was positioned near Eilat earlier this month was not deployed in the latest attack.
There were several rocket attacks on the city last year, though no injuries were caused.
Most of the rockets were fired from Sinai, which has become increasingly lawless since the revolution which toppled former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak in 2011.
Islamic militant groups have grown in strength there and have used it as a base from which to target Israel across the lengthy shared border. | At least two rockets have hit the southern Israeli city of Eilat. | 22179770 | [

The ex-Cabinet Minister lost his Yeovil seat in May's general election after 14 years as the constituency member.
Mr Laws, 49, will serve as executive chairman of Centre Forum but is still considering various job opportunities two months on from his defeat.
He described himself as not suited to "navel gazing and endless holidays".
In his first full interview since the election, the former Minster for the Cabinet Office, Minister for Schools and Chief Secretary to the Treasury described his dismay at the "tsunami sweeping away lots of Lib Dem MPs" on 8 May.
"I was extremely disappointed and upset for people like my staff who've worked in my office for years and years. I was very sorry on their behalf," he said.
"I suppose it [the scale of the defeat] meant that it didn't feel quite as personal… when you see all of your colleagues being knocked over like ninepins then it feels something that it's much more difficult to do anything about."
But the disappointment was clear to see as the former investment banker shunned the media scrum and left the count with barely a word to reporters.
Having been integral to the negotiations that led to the formation of the coalition government in 2010, he had been "hoping and expecting" to do the same again.
Instead, he went home to sleep.
His new job for Centre Forum, a liberal policy think-tank, will take up two days a week but he hopes to have a full-time plan by the end of the summer.
"I've already got one role as chairman which I'm very pleased about as it will allow me to take forward my interest in education and education policy, and I've been talking to other people about other work I may do next," he said.
But that plan will not include standing for election again.
"I'd already got the view that serving four terms in parliament, had I been re-elected in May this year, would have been about the right amount of time to do," he said.
"I don't think that MPs should go on forever and I think it's not therefore likely that I would stand again as a member of parliament."
Despite the loss of the Yeovil seat to the Conservatives, he remains optimistic of the seat being recaptured by his party.
"In areas like Yeovil where we have had big and strong base at the local government level and a national presence for many years I would think that there's every chance we can win back the Yeovil constituency at the next general election in 2020 and I'll do everything I can to support our new candidate to become the next MP." | Former Liberal Democrat MP David Laws has confirmed he will not stand for Parliament again after taking a new role with an education think-tank. | 33411890 | [

New rules come in on 1 January, which will reduce compensation to £75,000 per person, per institution.
Previously the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) protected savings of up to £85,000 per account.
Joint accounts will see protection cut from £170,000 to £150,000.
The maximum compensation across the European Union is set at €100,000, and the British level was reduced as a result of the pound gaining strength against the euro.
The precise rate was set on 3 July 2015.
At the time, one senior Tory MP described the change as "defective".
Although 95% of savers will still be protected, as many as 2.5 million people may not be, according to the FSCS. It is advising savers who have more than £75,000 in one account, or in one institution, to move their money if necessary.
The situation is further complicated by the fact that some registered banks and building societies operate under more than one brand.
So it you had £75,000 savings with HSBC, for example, any additional savings in First Direct would not be protected, as both banks have a joint licence.
Savers using Bank of Scotland and Halifax are in the same position.
But Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) and NatWest - although they are sister banks - are both registered separately. So savers could safely have up to £75,000 in accounts with both banks.
"While this should be quite simple to navigate, it's made complicated by the fact that FSCS cover is shared between banks that operate under the same licence," said Hannah Maundrell, editor in chief of money.co.uk.
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) publishes a full list of registered banks, and which brands come under the same umbrella.
Under the new rules, savers who have up to £1m in their accounts temporarily - as a result of selling a house, or being made redundant, for example - are also protected.
To receive compensation, they cannot have had that cash in their accounts for more than six months.
A further warning comes in relation to some foreign banks which trade in the UK, but are registered within the eurozone, such as Germany's Fidor Bank, or Sweden's Handelsbanken.
Handelsbanken confirmed that the level of compensation would depend on the exchange rate at the time.
So depending on how much €100,000 is worth in pounds, savers may get more or less than £75,000 protection. At the time of writing, that amount is worth less than £74,000.
"With an increasing number of European banks now offering competitive rates, customers need to be aware that not all savings accounts offered in the UK are covered by the UK compensation scheme," said Rachel Thrussell, savings insight manager at Moneyfacts.co.uk. | Millions of savers are being reminded that they may need to move some of their cash, to guarantee it will be fully protected in the event of their bank going bust. | 35168696 | [

A judge has instructed lawyers to take eight weeks to work out disagreements over money and property, including clothes, photographs and movie awards.
Widow Susan Schneider Williams wants the contents of her home to be excluded from items left to his three children.
They were married for five years until the actor's suicide in August 2014.
Schneider Williams filed court papers in December claiming some of her husband's personal items had been taken from the home they shared in Tiburon, California. without her permission.
However his daughter Zelda Williams said in a post on the blogging site Tumblr that she and brothers Zachary and Cody - Williams' children from previous marriages - had not visited the address since their father's death or removed anything from it.
Schneider Williams is seeking items including the tuxedo her husband wore to their 2011 wedding and art and furniture that were wedding gifts.
There is also a dispute over allowances to maintain the house, where she still lives.
Other items under discussion include clothing, watches, photos taken prior to Williams' marriage and memorabilia - including his 1998 Oscar for Good Will Hunting.
San Francisco Superior Court Judge Andrew Cheng told lawyers for both sides to meet before 10 April and enlist the help of a mediator if necessary before returning to court on 1 June.
One of the trustees for the estate, Andrew A Bassak, told the judge that the comedian had decided to establish trusts for his heirs and had never meant for a list of possessions to be debated over in public.
Schneider Williams' attorney, James Wagstaffe, told the judge: "We're amicable and no one is raising their voices. It's just that there are 1,200 items on a long spreadsheet which we saw in final form only last week."
Outside court Wagstaffe told reporters: "Robin Williams didn't mean for the house to be gutted, furniture removed and art taken off the walls.
"This is a normal process and there's nothing unusual about this. If the estate is a lake, what Susan is seeking is a bucket."
Williams' children said Schneider Williams was "adding insult to a terrible injury" by trying to change the trust agreement and rob them of items that their father clearly intended them to have.
"This has dragged on so long," their lawyer Meredith Bushnell told the judge.
"It's been eight long months since his passing. We'd like to see this wrapped up as soon as possible so they can move on with their lives and continue the grieving process." | The wife and adult children of late actor Robin Williams have agreed to meet outside of court to try and resolve a dispute over his belongings. | 32129337 | [

The Joseph Rowntree Foundation said the number of children in working families in poverty rose by 22,000 between 2003 and 2013.
Chief executive Julia Unwin said action to help pensioners was balanced by a "worrying rise" in working people struggling to "make ends meet".
The UK government said its plan for a national living wage would help people.
"Work is the best route out of poverty and employment in Wales is at record levels," a spokesman said.
A Welsh government spokesman added: "Despite recent improvements to the Welsh economy, we do, however, recognise in-work poverty is a growing issue and are working hard to support low-income households and deliver more well-paid jobs for the Welsh economy.
"We are helping more adults access full-time employment, supporting second-earners into work and are also improving people's skills to enable them to progress in the workplace."
People are classed as being in poverty if their household earns or receives less than 60% of the national average income of around £450 a week, adjusted for family size. | Low pay and scarce hours are pushing working families and young people into poverty in Wales, a new report claims. | 34196763 | [

Administrators' reports suggest around £7m of £10.25m lent to Northampton Town by the local borough Council was passed to 1st Land Limited.
A total of £2.65m was then given to David Cardoza and his father, Anthony.
David Cardoza declined to comment, saying: "I'm under confidentiality so can't speak."
A report from March this year showed a dispute arose between the Cardozas and 1st Land, which has since gone into administration, over the money.
The Cardozas called it a "Joint Venture Fee" - money paid to one party to help carry out a jointly-run project - but 1st Land said it was a loan.
It is unclear what has since happened to the money.
The £10.25m loan was originally paid to the League Two club for the redevelopment of the new East Stand at Sixfields Stadium, along with a hotel and conference centre - none of which have been completed.
Contractors Buckingham Group were appointed to carry out the works, with 1st Land appointed to oversee the development.
When the company went into administration, it owed Northampton Town £7.3m and Buckingham Group more than £2m.
The Cardozas and fellow businessmen, Howard Grossman, his son Marcus Grossman and Simon Patnick, feature as directors of several firms with business links to 1st Land and a second company appointed to oversee the development - County Developments (Northampton) Limited or CDNL.
Many of these companies have gone into liquidation.
Howard Grossman is listed as the only director of 1st Land; which is owned by another Grossman firm, County Group.
The administrators' report also lists payments of £314,000 to Howard Grossman for his salary; £1.475m to County Homes (Herts) Ltd and £233,000 to County Cemetery Services Limited.
The director of County Homes is also Howard Grossman.
County Cemetery Services lists two current directors: Marcus Grossman and Simon Patnick.
David Cardoza was a director of the company until August last year.
It has also gone into administration - but not before a sale agreement was made with a company called Centurion Infinity Limited; whose directors are Marcus Grossman and Simon Patnick.
After the collapse of 1st Land, CDNL took over the job of facilitating the Sixfields development. Its current directors are listed as David and Anthony Cardoza, while Marcus Grossman and Simon Patnick resigned directorships in January.
That company has now also entered liquidation.
The club faces a winding-up petition, due to be heard on 16 November, from HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC). | A football club chairman and his father were given a "loan" of more than £2.5m by a company set up to oversee the development of its stadium. | 34750400 | [

The report warns that a failure to reintegrate returnees may lead to further radicalisation.
Somalia's Islamist al-Shabab militants are believed to be recruiting heavily in neighbouring north-eastern Kenya.
Kenya has seen a series of militant attacks with one at a university earlier this year killed 148 people.
Although the report does not mention where the returnees came from, Deputy Secretary General of the Supreme Council of Kenya Muslims (Supkem) Hassan Ole Nadu has confirmed to the BBC that they were fighting for al-Shabab.
The 36-page report was compiled by the IOM, Supkem and the Kenya's interior ministry.
Researchers found that although most adults joined the group voluntarily, nearly a third of children interviewed said they were forced to enlist.
The return of the youth, the report says, provides both "opportunities and threats for and to Kenyans".
"On the one hand, they present an opportunity to counter the radicalising ideologies and recruitment strategies of armed groups," the report says.
"On the other, the response of the security forces is widely perceived to be promoting further radicalisation as the returnees themselves believe that they are unsafe and have limited reintegration options."
Security in the country was identified by participants as the main obstacle to their successful reintegration in the country.
A total of 185 respondents were interviewed, representing nearly 30% of the estimated total of 684 returnees in the country. The majority were between 18 and 34 years old. | Nearly 700 recruits have returned to Kenya after quitting militant groups, a report by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) says. | 34592166 | [

"It is definitely high time for an LGBT character to be included in the Star Trek universe," Zachary Quinto, who plays Mr Spock, told the BBC.
"I'm a little stunned there's been so much attention given to it," Chris Pine, the current Captain Kirk, added.
George Takei - Sulu in the original Star Trek TV series - described the move last week as "really unfortunate".
"I'm delighted that there's a gay character [in the film]," the 79-year-old told the Hollywood Reporter.
Yet he claimed the "outing" of Hikaru Sulu was "a twisting" of Gene [Roddenberry]'s creation, "to which he put in so much thought".
Takei said Star Trek creator Roddenberry "was a strong supporter of LGBT equality" but had always envisioned Sulu as heterosexual. The actor - who went on to play Sulu in the six Star Trek films made between 1979 and 1991 - announced he was gay in 2005.
Speaking on Tuesday before Star Trek Beyond's UK premiere, Simon Pegg said the revelation about Sulu's sexuality "doesn't change George's Sulu in any way".
"Whatever he wants that to be, that is how that Sulu is," said the British actor, a cast member and co-writer on the new film.
"But in this universe, it felt like a smart way of introducing an aspect of the character we hadn't previously known."
In Star Trek Beyond, Enterprise helmsman Sulu is briefly seen being greeted at the end of a voyage by his male partner and daughter.
Sulu's partner, whose name is Ben according to the IMDB website, is played in the film by Doug Jung, the film's other co-writer.
John Cho, who has played Sulu since the film series was rebooted in 2009, said he had initially been concerned about Takei's reaction.
"I was worried because I knew [George] was a gay man who had played a straight character," he told the BBC.
"I know he felt a fair bit of ownership of that character, and legitimately so. I was also worried that it might be inferred that we were somehow suggesting that sexuality was a choice. But I don't think anyone has inferred that, and we're certainly not saying that."
"It was not something that was flippant," director Justin Lin said. "It was something a lot of thought went into.
"George is entitled to his opinion, but at the end of the day I'm the gatekeeper for this and I think it's in the spirit of what Roddenberry wanted."
Quinto, who is also openly gay, added: "The LGBT (Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender) community has long advocated for representation in the Star Trek universe.
"We've been really excited by the response, particularly from young people, who have been inspired and motivated by this turn toward progress."
The decision has also been applauded by Roddenberry's son Rod, who has said his late father would have been "100% in favour".
"I can understand why [George] feels strongly about it [but] I don't see why everyone is bickering about it," he told the Associated Press.
The release of the new Star Trek film follows the sudden death of cast member Anton Yelchin, who died in a car accident at his home.
The 27-year-old, who is seen in the film reprising his role as navigator Pavel Chekov, died last month after his Jeep Grand Cherokee rolled backwards and pinned him against a fence.
Pine, who shares a number of scenes with Yelchin in the film, told the BBC he felt "lucky and blessed to have had a deeper experience with Anton this time around".
Lin's film carries dedications not just to Yelchin but also to actor Leonard Nimoy, the original Mr Spock, who died last year at the age of 83.
"It was very important for all of us to find a way to carry his spirit through this film and through the work we continue to do," said Quinto.
The release of Star Trek Beyond coincides with the 50th anniversary of Star Trek, an occasion to which Lin hopes his film will be a fitting accompaniment.
"Hopefully we can reaffirm why we love [Star Trek] and build a foundation for another 50 years," the director said.
Star Trek Beyond, which also stars Zoe Saldana as Uhura and Idris Elba as chief villain Krall, opens in the UK and Ireland on 22 July.

Cardiff University is currently exhibiting some of its collection as part of a three-day event to mark the centenary of Thomas' untimely death.
But Alan Hughes, head of special collections and archive, said some other items were in poor condition.
The National Manuscripts Conservation Trust has awarded them almost £3,000.
The university holds the largest archive of Thomas' letters, diaries, notebooks, poems, photographs and personal belongings.
Mr Hughes said the grant had allowed us it to "collaborate with Glamorgan Archives to undertake essential conservation work on many of Edward Thomas' notebooks".
He said nine were in particularly poor condition due to acidification, fragile bindings and general deterioration over time.
"Many are unable to be handled without a high risk of further damage and are therefore inaccessible to scrutiny, celebration, digitisation and study," he said.
Thomas, known for his poems written as World War One raged across Europe, was killed in the Battle of Arras at Easter 1917, at the age of 39.
While he was born in England, Prof Katie Gramich who organised this week's event, said his parents were Welsh and he loved Wales.
She said his work was influenced by the time he spent walking in Wales and he felt "cheated of a Welsh identity".
The exhibition, which runs until the autumn, features previously unheard archive recordings of family and friends, interviewed by the university's Prof R George Thomas in 1967. | A collection of manuscripts and notebooks which belonged to poet and novelist Edward Thomas are to be conserved thanks to a grant. | 39646266 | [

Bottas, on whom Williams have a contractual hold, is Ferrari's number one option should they decide not to retain Kimi Raikkonen alongside Sebastian Vettel.
Sources close to the deal say Ferrari and Williams have discussed Bottas's transfer but have no agreement yet.
Williams view Button as a leading candidate should Bottas leave.
Should the 2009 world champion join Williams in 2016, it would bring his career full circle.
Media playback is not supported on this device
He made his F1 debut for Williams in 2000 before moving on to Benetton/Renault, BAR - which became Honda and then Brawn - and finally McLaren in a career in which he has won 15 grands prix.
McLaren have not yet decided who they will pick to drive alongside Fernando Alonso in 2016.
The team have a contractual option to retain Button, which means that the 2009 world champion cannot join another team unless McLaren decide not to keep him - or fail to decide until after whatever date is set in the contract as the team's deadline to do so.
Their other options are their Danish reserve driver Kevin Magnussen, who raced for McLaren alongside Button in 2014, and the Belgian rising star Stoffel Vandoorne, who is leading the GP2 championship. McLaren have contracts with both men.
Williams said they could not comment on driver contracts and Button said he had not yet considered his future.
"I've had a lot of questions thrown at me about what I am doing next year but I have not thought about anything, seriously," the 35-year-old said.
"I just have to get my head down and concentrate on improving the car and then in a couple of months we will sit down and talk about next year."

Bottas, on whom Williams have an option for the next two seasons, said he "did not know" whether he would be at Williams next season.
"Nothing is confirmed," the Finn said. "We have to wait and see. As a driver, you want to know as soon as possible but sometimes you have to wait."
Although Ferrari have pursued various options, sources close to the team say they have decided to put off a decision on Raikkonen's future until later in the summer.
Ferrari president Sergio Marchionne said last month that Raikkonen's "future is in his own hands" amid concerns at the team that he is not performing well enough compared to team-mate Sebastian Vettel.
These come on the back of his poor season in 2014 during which he was comprehensively out-performed by former team-mate Alonso.
Ferrari technical director James Allison said this week in an interview with an Italian magazine that Raikkonen was as fast as Vettel but that his results were being affected by the fact he was making more mistakes.
Raikkonen said: "I don't know any more than I knew at the start of the year. For me, the whole thing hasn't changed for months. If I knew I would easily say. Unfortunately I don't know.
"Somehow I end up every year in the same position, and it makes no difference if I have a contract or not. There is no contract, but there is an option now.
"I have made it very clear to the team what I would like to happen, and it is to be here next year."
If Bottas leaves and Button stays at McLaren, Williams may still look to McLaren's driver pool for a partner for Felipe Massa, on whom they have an option and is expected to stay.

Backbench MPs can speak relatively freely about their views, and Mr Corbyn took full advantage of this inside and outside Parliament. It's well known to most, by now, that he was the most rebellious Labour MP of recent times - voting against the party leadership 533 times since Tony Blair came to power in 1997.
But he has made his voice heard on a dizzying range of issues since the day he first arrived in the Commons in 1983, as MP for Islington North, often using a Parliamentary tool known as an Early Day Motion (EDM).
According to data on Early Day Motions on the Parliament website, since 1989 Mr Corbyn has signed 19,485 motions. Of those he was the primary sponsor of 766 and a co-sponsor on 2,727.
Early Day Motions are "are formal motions submitted for debate in the House of Commons" according to the Parliament website, yet it goes on to say "very few are actually debated". Essentially they are petitions for MPs to start or put their name too. They aren't necessarily an effective way of bringing about change and some MPs have previously called them "narcissistic" and "pointless".
But they are a good way for an MP to draw attention to an issue without having to wait for their turn to come around for things like an adjournment debate, backbench business debates - or until their number gets drawn for a Private Member's Bill.
To start with there probably wouldn't be a London Eye. In 1996 he filed a motion titled "Ferris wheel and the homeless". The motion said it was depressing that planning permission had been granted "for a 500 foot giant ferris wheel on the South Bank of the Thames" it went on to say it would "be an eyesore and totally inappropriate for that site". He called for the money to be spent on the homeless instead.
There would be no nuclear weapons either.
Mr Corbyn is a long-time supporter of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. During his time as an MP he has submitted over 50 Early Day Motions voicing his opposition to nuclear arms in the UK and abroad. Shortly before becoming Labour leader he had submitted one titled "Trident and the Strategic Defence and Security Review" which called for the review to set out "how it has considered the delivery of UK defence and security capability without nuclear weapons, including threat assessments, estimated costs and all non-nuclear options".
Mr Corbyn is a staunch defender of animal rights and has signed many an EDM calling for an end to cruelty (including one urging the BBC not to repeat an episode of Michael Palin's Around the World in 80 days in which a snake was skinned alive).
But it was a 2004 motion tabled by the late Labour MP Tony Banks that caught commentators' eyes when Mr Corbyn became Labour leader, for its apparent call for the obliteration of the human race (Mr Banks had a well-developed sense of humour).
It read: "That this House is appalled, but barely surprised, at the revelations in M15 files regarding the bizarre and inhumane proposals to use pigeons as flying bombs; recognises the important and live-saving role of carrier pigeons in two world wars and wonders at the lack of gratitude towards these gentle creatures; and believes that humans represent the most obscene, perverted, cruel, uncivilised and lethal species ever to inhabit the planet and looks forward to the day when the inevitable asteroid slams into the earth and wipes them out thus giving nature the opportunity to start again."
Closer to home, in the House of Commons, Mr Corbyn wants to remove the vending machines that are "packed with crisps, fizzy drinks and confectionery" and instead offer "fruit and a number of healthy beverages and snacks".
Early Day Motions are sometimes used as a way to congratulate schools, sporting stars and the work of individuals. Being a football fan Mr Corbyn has congratulated his local football club, Arsenal 13 times - both the men and women's teams. His most recent was in June congratulating "Arsenal on their twelfth winning of the FA Cup" adding further congratulations to "the whole team, manager Arsene Wenger and all supporters on this triumph and the wonderful skills displayed in the final".
Other causes he has promoted include providing Al Jazeera English channel for MPs to watch on the parliamentary estate to help them be "better informed".
Jeremy Corbyn would also like a memorial in Parliament for protester Brian Haw who camped in Parliament Square for years, protesting against wars, especially the Iraq one. He died in 2011.
There are some causes Jeremy Corbyn has consistently felt needed raising, many concerning human rights. He has repeatedly raised the issue for the rights of the Kurdish people, those in Western Sahara, the Dalits in India and the Palestinians.
In 1992 after the defeat of President George Bush he welcomed the end of his presidency and referenced the US's "unprecedented" military action in "Nicaragua, El Salvador, Panama, Libya and the Gulf". The Early Day Motion finished by saying the signatories were "relieved" Mr Bush had been "so emphatically defeated in the election in November".
Mr Corbyn has been very supportive of Bolivian socialist President Evo Morales, submitting three Early Day Motions to congratulate him on his electoral wins, one congratulated him on his campaign which was "dominated by the demand that oil and gas reserves should benefit the people of the country and a rejection of new liberal economies".
Jeremy Corbyn's recent appearance at the Stop the War Coalition Christmas fundraiser caused controversy for the Labour Party. His long support for the organisation and previous position as chairman has come under heavy scrutiny after controversial comments by the group. But in 2006 and then again in 2010 he praised their hard work for organising protests first against sending British troops to Afghanistan and then later calling on them to be withdrawn.
Another controversial area where Mr Corbyn and the Parliamentary Labour Party have had differences is on armed police in the UK. In 1994 he was against increasing the number of armed police vehicles in London. The Early Day Motion said the move would "lead to a spiral of violence with criminals seeking to further arm themselves in response" and warned it about a substantial risk of "wrongful or accidental shootings".
As a proud six times winner of the Parliamentary Beard of the Year contest, Mr Corbyn was always going to sign an Early Day Motion opposing a ban on British Rail workers wearing facial hair. But so outraged was he by the idea that he inserted an extra line into Lib Dem MP Alex Carlile's 1991 motion, pointing out that "beards are healthy and create the sympathetic image necessary for staff dealing with deeply distressed passengers".
And finally... it seems Jeremy Corbyn is an advocate of composting. In 2002 his Early Day Motion stated it was "a good, effective and wholly natural way of dealing with organic waste". He called on the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs to publish free advice to tell people "how to make the best of compost heaps."
During 2012-13 there were 1,139 early day motions and it cost approximately £374,500 to print them, £3,500 in IT support costs and £33,500 in staff costs. The government said the cost "has fallen considerably" after they reduced the amount of printing. In 2009-10 the total cost was approximately £1,000,000. We've also done a rough check here and reckon it would take at least 15 hours going at full pelt to sign your name 19,485 times... | Before Jeremy Corbyn became leader of the Labour Party he was a very active and opinionated backbencher. | 35054253 | [

Aker Solutions said employees had been told about 650 positions, mainly in the UK, Norway and India, may be affected.
A more specific breakdown for Aberdeen and London jobs has not been announced.
A spokesperson said: "The adjustments are being made because of the continued market slowdown and as part of a global reorganization that will strengthen the company's competitiveness."
Aker employs about 15,000 people, of which more than 2,000 are in the UK, the majority of them in Aberdeen and offshore. | Hundreds of jobs are set to go at oil services firm Aker Solutions with about 100 at risk in Aberdeen and London. | 38597175 | [

It was the 30-year-old's first triumph since a stage win on the 2015 Vuelta a Castilla y Leon and his team's first grand tour stage for two years.
Race leader Tom Dumoulin, who lost time following an unexpected toilet stop on Tuesday, had no such problems again and retained a 31-second overall lead.
Britain's Adam Yates was 30th and is 11th overall with four stages left.

Rolland prevailed from an 18-man group who broke away 7.8km from the finish of the 219km stage from Tirano to Canazei.
Dumoulin crossed the finish line nearly eight minutes behind Rolland with the main peloton but retains possession of the pink jersey ahead of Colombian rival Nairo Quintana.

In order to assess the important question of whether the big contractors, Serco, G4S, Atos and Capita, are making excessive profits from their £4bn of annual business with the public sector, the government's spending watchdog had to rely to a great extent on information volunteered to them by the four.
Which seems something of a lacuna, given that a huge and rising proportion of our public services are delivered by the private sector. According to the NAO, contracting out, to the likes of Serco, G4S, Atos and Capita, accounts for "around half of the £187bn that the public sector spends on goods and services each year".
Or to put it another way, contracting out represents around 15% of all public spending and 5% of UK GDP. Private sector delivery of public services is therefore hugely important to the effectiveness of the functioning of the state and to the productivity of the economy.
Yet it is only written in to some contracts that they are "open book", that the client (that's you by the way, the taxpayer) has a formal right to know how much money the private company is actually making from a particular contract.
So what did the NAO actually learn about the profitability of the big four outsourcing companies from the information they supplied?
Well the big four say that in 2012 their respective operating margins - the profits they typically make as a percentage of sales - on government contracts were lower than the operating margin they earn on average on all contracts.
So on that basis, if the numbers are reliable, it would be hard to argue that the government is being ripped off.
But there are three qualifications to make:
1. They are all making an operating margin on government work in the ballpark of 5%, with Capita and Serco apparently generating a smidge more than Atos and G4S. But is there anything magical and appropriate about that 5% number?
Now the NAO points out that the net margin for these companies for all their work - for public-sector and private-sector work - is a bit less than the average for FTSE 100 companies.
But that may not be a useful comparison. Given the long term nature of the public-sector contracts, and that once they are won they are frequently rolled over and extended, would it be reasonable for the profit margin to be even less?
The NAO doesn't seem to have a view on this.
2. There is enormous variation in the profitability of different contracts, which calls into question whether the 5% average return is meaningful.
The gross profit margin (the profit before allocating overheads) for Atos on contracts varies between 3% and 22%, the range is 6-18% for Capita, it's 0-32% for G4S, and 4-13% for Serco.
Again an important question is begged, namely why there is such variation in the profitability of contracts both for individual companies and between companies?
Does this variation reflect the different degrees of risk for the contractor in each contract - which would be a reassuring explanation?
Or does it imply that there is great variation in the competence of public sector negotiators - which would warm the cockles rather less?
Again there is no definitive answer from the NAO.
3. The NAO notes that from 1 January 2006 to 30 September 2013, the value of these businesses on the stock market has risen much more than the value of FTSE 100 companies in general. In that period, the FTSE 100 index increased 26%, whereas Capita's share price rose 141% and G4S's 94%.
That would suggest investors aren't remotely worried that the profitability of government contracts is too slim.
Quite the reverse. It implies that the reliability of the revenues from these contracts is what matters, and that therefore the profit margins are quite satisfactory.
But, and this is quite important, the story of the relationship between the private-sector providers and the government is - ahem - evolving.
Since the 2010 general election, the Cabinet Office has aggressively tried to exercise greater central control over the awarding of outsourcing contracts.
In the process, it has obtain substantial refunds on older deals and seems to be securing better value for money on new transactions.
More recently the Ministry of Justice has duffed up Serco and G4S, by calling in the Serious Fraud Office to investigate alleged overcharging for electronic tagging of criminals.
Or to put it another way, the perceived balance between risk and reward on these outsourced deals is changing, to the detriment of the private sector businesses.
There have been big management changes at Serco and G4S, and their share prices have both fallen by around a sixth since May.
So probably the most interesting conclusion by the NAO is the one that goes against the grain of typical political and public discourse about private sector providers.
The NAO warns the Cabinet Office that there is a limit to the financial squeeze it can put on the likes of the big four, and that it may not be too long before there will be a loss of "innovation and investment" which "could pose a risk to value for money in the longer term".
The watchdog takes seriously the private sector providers when they say they may choose not to bid for future contracts in certain public services.
And that could be a problem, because - with so much outsourced since the 1980s - it is not obvious that the public sector retains the competence and skills to take back some of these services.
Or to return to where I started, given that public and private sectors are now so intimately and intricately combined, it may not be unreasonable for the taxpayer as employer to have much clearer sight of how much profit the contractor is earning. | Possibly the most shocking disclosure in the National Audit Office's two reviews of how private sector companies deliver public services is how little financial information the NAO can actually demand to scrutinise. | 24909883 | [

Finance ministers have endorsed the move, which is to be completed by the end of the summer.
The European Commission says nations on the tax blacklist should be sanctioned if appeals for change go unheeded.
The leak of millions of files from Panama law firm Mossack Fonseca revealed how the rich and powerful use tax havens to hide their wealth.
Full coverage: Panama Papers
Plans for a single EU list of "non-cooperative jurisdictions" have been blocked in the past by conflicting national interests.
Currently the 28 EU states have different national lists of tax havens and can decide individually whether to impose restrictive measures.
Negotiations on the new common list are expected to be complex and the number of jurisdictions to be included remains unclear.
Ministers have also agreed to exchange information on the beneficial owners of companies and the EU is planning a crackdown on banks and tax advisers who help clients hide money offshore. | EU nations have agreed to draw up a blacklist of tax havens in the wake of the Panama Papers leaks. | 36117374 | [

The Newtownards man became the first Irish cyclist to win a world track title in 117 years when he triumphed in the scratch race in Belarus.
Irvine, 28, also won silver in the points race at the World Championships plus a World Cup gold in Manchester and a European bronze this year.
"This is a tremendous honour," said seven-times Irish champion Irvine.
"I want to thank BBC Northern Ireland for this award as it is fantastic recognition for everything that has happened in the past year and also for the sport of cycling which has been going through somewhat of resurgence in popularity recently.
"I'm really looking forward to the next year with the Commonwealth Games, the World Championships and hopefully the Giro d'Italia.
"With any luck I will be chatting to some of the guys from BBC Sport NI from a podium sometime next year!"
After winning his historic world gold and silver in Belarus during February, Irvine then suffered a fractured hip at a road race event in Taiwan a month later which ruled him out until August.
However, the battling Irvine regained his fitness to win bronze at the European Track Championships in Netherlands before taking victory in the World Cup points event in Manchester two weeks later.
The judging panel of Northern Ireland sports journalists chose Irvine ahead of runner-up AP McCoy and motorcyclist Michael Dunlop.
Others shortlisted for the award were boxer Carl Frampton, Ireland cricket captain William Porterfield and triathlon star Aileen Reid.
The panel of judges comprised of Shane Glynn, editor Sport BBC NI, BBC NI sports reporter Nikki Gregg, Belfast Telegraph sports editor Stephen Beacom, Kenny Archer of the Irish News, News Letter sports editor Richard Mulligan and author and freelance journalist Orla Bannon.
"Once again the judging panel had a tough decision to make this year but we felt that Martyn's achievements were just outstanding," said BBC NI sports editor Glynn.
"I'm delighted that he's been voted BBC Northern Ireland's Sports Personality of the Year for 2013.
"To become a world champion, literally within an hour of winning a silver medal in another discipline, is nothing short of phenomenal.
"And to beat the likes of AP McCoy and Michael Dunlop to this award speaks volumes about Martyn's achievements." | World champion cyclist Martyn Irvine has been named the 2013 BBC Northern Ireland Sports Personality of the Year. | 25455864 | [

Firefighters tackled the blaze, which started just before 21:00 on Monday in Carron Valley.
The home owners and their dog escaped from the building after being alerted by a smoke alarm.
Scottish Fire and Rescue Service has launched an investigation into the cause of the blaze, although it is not believed to be suspicious.
Station manager Dave Wishart said: "Firefighters were deployed in strategic positions surrounding the building with high-pressure jets and worked through the night to bring the incident to a safe conclusion.
"Unfortunately the intensity of the fire meant the house was completely destroyed."
"The home owners became aware of the fire quickly and had a working smoke alarm.
"This helped them to get themselves and their dog out safely." | A house in Denny has been destroyed after a fire broke out in its roof space. | 35697035 | [

The massive crater is filled with debris, household items and vehicles.
The hole is just four miles from the Arena das Dunas stadium, which is set to host the Group D match between Italy and Uruguay on Tuesday.
It opened up earlier this week after a record amount of rainfall fell and has continued to grow since.

It meant they only managed a single batting point, having begun the game at Beckenham 24 behind leaders Essex.
Opener Sean Dickson made 63 as they reached 146-7 before Will Gidman (51) and Matt Coles (52) led a recovery.
South African paceman Rory Kleinveldt took 3-70 for the visitors, who had made 31-0 in reply by the close.
Kent need to win and hope that leaders Essex slip up against Glamorgan next week before the two meet in the final round of matches.
But their first-innings total means they can take no more than 20 points from the game, so Essex will only need 21 from their two remaining fixtures to clinch the Division Two title.
The day's statistical high point came when Gidman was caught by Kleinveldt off spinner Graeme White, his first dismissal for Kent after three unbeaten half centuries, giving him an average of 283.

His 1965 track Tears was the third biggest-selling single of the decade, according to a newly compiled chart.
The Beatles occupy the top two places in the chart and have an additional three records in the Top 10.
DJ Tony Blackburn counted down the Top 60 best-selling records of the 1960s in a special programme on BBC Radio Two, broadcast on Bank Holiday Monday.
According to sales data compiled by the Official Charts Company, the biggest selling single of the 1960s was She Loves You by The Beatles.
I Want to Hold Your Hand, recorded by the Fab Four in 1963, came second.
The Unswinging Sixties
The other Beatles records in the Top 10 are Can't Buy Me Love at four, I Feel Fine at five and the double A-side We Can Work It Out/Day Tripper at seven.
Yet Dodd's track - which topped the UK singles chart for five weeks and was the biggest-selling single of 1965 - outsold them all.
"It comes as no surprise to see the Fab Four at number one, but other aspects of the chart are perhaps a little unexpected," said Blackburn.
Jeff Smith, Radio 2's head of music, called the chart "a nostalgic reflection of the enduring appeal of the music of the '60s and the artists that defined the decade."
Dodd, now 82, has been in showbusiness for more than 50 years.
Born in Liverpool in 1927, he is best known for his buck teeth and frizzy hair, tickling stick and his creation of the Diddymen. | Eccentric comedian Ken Dodd was one of the biggest recording artists of the 1960s, new research has revealed. | 10201932 | [

One year on, the first handball matches since the Olympic Games have taken place inside the venue - reborn as a sports centre for the community - and on its hallowed London 2012 floor tiles. Handball will be a regular feature here.
If you missed it at London 2012, handball is played on an indoor court between two teams of seven players. To simplify things greatly, you use your hands to throw the ball into the opposing team's goal.
For handball's dedicated British fans, getting back in the Box at the Olympic Park has been a rare thrill.
"We're in our Wembley," says Paul Stewart, who plays for Ruislip Eagles and took part in one of Sunday's inaugural games.
"This is the pinnacle. You don't get to play in the biggest sports stadiums in football unless you're a pro. Every so often I look up from what looks like a gym floor and see these banks of seats, and remember - I'm in the Copper Box! Wow!
"I can see the seat I sat in at the Olympics."
Stewart was not a handball player this time 12 months ago, but he traded some water polo tickets with friends for the chance to see the sport and a love affair was born.
"We saw a double header in the group stage, Croatia-Spain and France-Sweden. The wow factor was there, watching these amazing goalkeepers.
"I went to my first session at the end of August last year, intending to be a goalkeeper, and the buzz was amazing.
"I remember getting home that evening and thinking: 'That was so much better than I'd imagined.' I was thinking I'd come home bruised or not even bruised because I hadn't touched the ball... but it was so much fun."
For Dani Sposi, setting foot inside the Copper Box is bittersweet. A former member of the British handball team, she narrowly missed out on selection for London 2012.
"During preparations for the Games we used to go there once a month," she remembers. "When I got there, I remembered the smell, all those times we used to train there.
"Being there as a player after the Olympics was a bit emotional, because I wasn't selected and it was very hard to go through all that disappointment.
"I had my six-year-old son, Matteo, with me. He said: 'Mum, why didn't you play at the Olympics?' I said: 'Well, the coach made a different decision, so mummy didn't play.'
Dani Sposi: "We had loads of people coming into the Copper Box on Sunday and asking about handball. We had another area in the arena where we could explain what handball is all about and let them shoot at goal.
"Sometimes people don't realise how hard handball is. Even the parents are like 'oh, I'll do it' - and then 'oh, this is hard!' You have to find the right co-ordination with the three steps and the bounce."
Paul Stewart: "We had easily hundreds, probably a couple of thousand people all told. There were points when it was massively busy, queues of parents with children all holding a ball waiting to have a go. It was superb.
"At league level, for the next year or so, it's going to be massive. If we get the right publicity, if people can see the sport and know it's still carrying on in the Olympic venue, that might drag them in across the country."
"He has been with me the whole journey, since he was eight months old - all the training sessions, travelling around. It was very good for him to be there, to go inside the Olympic arena. Even during training, I never had the chance to bring him in."
Sposi's dream of an Olympic appearance for Great Britain has ended, but other players in the Box still aspire to fly the British flag - despite a critical shortage of funding leaving GB's elite teams in limbo.
"Playing in the Olympic venue was a proud moment," says Gil Lewis, another who only started playing after London 2012.
Lewis already has two university team-mates who have been selected for the England Under-20 squad within a year of taking up the sport; he himself was chosen to play for the British universities team, but their trip to a tournament in the Netherlands fell apart when the travel proved too expensive.
A shortage of cash is a feature of life as a handball player in Britain, but Lewis is determined not to let it dampen his enthusiasm.
"This year I've been invited to move up to the first team; I was in shock when I was first asked. They've asked if I want to go to the Challenge Cup, playing in Bulgaria, and that would be an amazing experience," he says.
"That all has to be funded through ourselves and it's a lot of personal expense to play. But an opportunity to play in a European competition? You don't want to miss out because you didn't save up enough."
British teams competed at London 2012 by virtue of being the Olympic hosts. In future, they will have to qualify for the Games on merit, which is a big ask of a fledgling sport, but Lewis is determined to take the sport as far as he can.
"If a GB team is still around in the next few years, to be able to play for them would be fantastic," he says. "If you'd told me a year ago, I'd never have imagined I'd be anywhere close to being able to represent my country.
"There will be a few years before I'm near that standard and with all the work being done at grassroots, by that time hopefully the standard will have improved enough to warrant some kind of funding - to at least put some form of team out."
Stewart adds: "Outside the obvious problem with elite funding, we're in a very strong position to drive growth at youth level.
"At Ruislip, we're working hard to get together a full youth structure, plus I'm talking to local schools and colleges and we've got a tie-in with Brunel University.
"If we can get people into the sport, who knows what we can achieve?" | Last summer, the Copper Box played host to surprise smash-hit handball, a sport which engrossed unsuspecting British audiences. | 23487664 | [

They found that targeting a part of the brain called the parietal lobe improved the ability of volunteers to solve numerical problems.
They hope the discovery could help people with dyscalculia, who may struggle with numbers.
Another expert said effects on other brain functions would need checking.
The findings are reported in the journal Current Biology.
Some studies have suggested that up to one in five people have trouble with maths, affecting not just their ability to complete problems but also to manage everyday activities such as telling the time and managing money.
Neuroscientists believe that activity within the parietal lobe plays a crucial role in this ability, or the lack of it.
When magnetic fields were used in earlier research to disrupt electrical activity in this part of the brain, previously numerate volunteers temporarily developed discalculia, finding it much harder to solve maths problems.
The latest research goes a step further, using a one milliamp current to stimulate the parietal lobe of a small number of students.
The current could not be felt, and had no measurable effect on other brain functions.
As it was turned on, the volunteers tried to learn a puzzle which involved substituting numbers for symbols.
Those given the current from right to left across the parietal lobe did significantly better when given, compared to those who were given no electrical stimulation.
The direction of the current was important - those given stimulation running in the opposite direction, left to right, did markedly worse at these puzzles than those given no current, with their ability matching that of an average six-year-old.
The effects were not short-lived, either. When the volunteers whose performance improved was re-tested six months later, the benefits appear to have persisted.
There was no wider effect on general maths ability in either group, just on the ability to complete the puzzles learned as the current was applied.
Dr Cohen Kadosh, who led the study, said: "We are not advising people to go around giving themselves electric shocks, but we are extremely excited by the potential of our findings and are now looking into the underlying brain changes.
"We've shown before that we can induce dyscalculia, and now it seems we might be able to make someone better at maths, so we really want to see if we can help people with dyscalculia.

"Electrical stimulation is unlikely to turn you into the next Einstein, but if we're lucky it might be able to help some people to cope better with maths."
Dr Christopher Chambers, from the School of Psychology at Cardiff University, said that the results were "intriguing", and offered the prospect not just of improving numerical skills, but having an impact on a wider range of conditions.
He said: "The ability to tweak activity in parts of the brain, turning it slightly 'up' or 'down' at will, opens the door to treating a range of psychiatric and neurological problems, like compulsive gambling or visual impairments following stroke."
However, he said that the study did not prove that the learning of maths skills was improved, just that the volunteers were better at linking arbitrary numbers and symbols, and he warned that researchers needed to make sure other parts of the brain were unaffected.
"This is still an exciting new piece of research, but if we don't know how selective the effects of brain stimulation are then we don't know what other brain systems could also be affected, either positively or negatively."
Sue Flohr, from the British Dyslexia Association, which also provides support for people with dyscalculia, said the research was welcome.
She said: "It's certainly an under-recognised condition, but it can ruin lives.
"It makes it very hard to do everyday things like shopping or budgeting - you can go into a shop and find you've spent your month's money without realising it." | Applying a tiny electrical current to the brain could make you better at learning maths, according to Oxford University scientists. | 11692799 | [

The 22-year-old striker was one of three AC Milan players targeted during their match against Roma on Sunday, which was halted for two minutes.
"If it happens one more time, I'm going to leave the pitch, because it's so stupid," the Italy international said.
"I was about to leave, but they will think I wanted to leave because we had difficulty with the game."
AC Milan were down to 10 men at the time when the Serie A fixture at their San Siro stadium was temporarily stopped. The game only restarted after the visiting Roma supporters were ordered to cease their behaviour.
Roma, who were fined 50,000 euros (£42,400) by the Italian Football League for the incident, released a statement on Monday condemning the actions of their supporters and promised to "face this issue head-on".
The punishment was criticised by Fifa president Sepp Blatter, who told the world governing body's website: "They have not made any investigation of what happened. Just to give a pecuniary sanction is not valid, not acceptable."
Balotelli, who has scored 11 goals in 12 games since his January switch from Manchester City, said the incident had altered his thinking about the best way to tackle the problem.
He told CNN: "I always said if it happens in the stadium, I would just behave as if nobody had done anything and that I don't care, but now I think I've changed my mind a bit."
There have been a number of incidents this season involving racial abuse of AC Milan's players.
A January friendly between Milan and Pro Patria was suspended because of racist chants aimed at Kevin-Prince Boateng.
The following month, Inter Milan were fined 50,000 euros after their fans were found to have abused their former player Balotelli in the Milan derby.
And in April, champions Juventus were fined 30,000 euros (£25,000) after their supporters racially abused the AC Milan players. | Mario Balotelli has threatened to walk off the pitch if he is ever again subjected to racist abuse from fans. | 22551275 | [

The engineering firm says the £250m expansion of its Malmesbury headquarters will eventually bring 3,000 new jobs to the town.
Planning conditions have been added regarding archaeological issues and addressing site access, along with concerns about increased traffic.
The expansion is expected to be the largest in the firm's 20-year history.
A spokesperson for Dyson said the decision was just one part of a number of stages in the planning process and they did not want to comment further. | Outline plans to double the size of Dyson's research centre in Wiltshire have been approved by planners. | 27709982 | [

The detective leading the enquiry said the soldiers are not obliged to speak to the police because they are being treated as witnesses and not suspects.
Thirteen civilians were killed when soldiers opened fire on a civil rights march in Londonderry in 1972. A 14th died later.
Police resumed their investigation into the killings in January..
The information about 100 soldiers being contacted emerged on Thursday following fresh criticism of the police investigation by some Bloody Sunday families.
Det Ch Insp Ian Harrison, from the PSNI's Legacy Investigations Branch, said his team completed its "civilian witness enquiries" and made contact with more than 100 soldiers to "determine if they are willing to engage with us".
"It should be noted that these soldiers are witnesses, not suspects, and are therefore not obliged to speak with us," said Mr Harrison.
"The next stage of the investigation would be to interview those soldiers who are willing to engage with the enquiry team as witnesses."
Mr Harrison said his team of officers was also carrying out a number of other enquiries in relation to the investigation which he described as a "long, complex and protracted".
"I am content with the level of resources I have working on the investigation at this stage.
"If at any time further resources are required they will be made available to me."
Some Bloody Sunday families criticised the police investigation in a letter to Detective Chief Inspector Ian Harrison from Peter Madden of Madden and Finucane Solicitors.
It said that some of the families were losing faith in the investigation because they had "heard nothing from the PSNI since a meeting in January and were entirely unaware of what progress had been made".
Peter Madden also said there was a presumption that there had "still been no move by the PSNI to interview any of the soldiers involved in the shootings" and that this added to a perception that police were "reluctant to arrest and question soldiers as murder suspects".
The letter continued: "Regrettably, as we fast approach the fifth anniversary of the delivery of Lord Saville's report, it seems that little has occurred in the interim to alleviate those public concerns and those that we represent are rapidly losing faith in the PSNI's ability to see their task through."
Peter Madden demanded another meeting between the police and the families he represents.
He also asked Detective Chief Inspector Ian Harrison to set out a full written progress report within the next 14 days.
Mickey McKinney, whose brother William was killed on Bloody Sunday, told BBC Radio Foyle: "The entire investigation has slowed down.
"The last meeting with the police was five months ago and we have been told nothing since then.
"There was an agreement that there would be a meeting with families every three months but that hasn't been happening.
"I only found out about the 100 soldiers being contacted last night (Thursday) but we want suspects being questioned in this case.
"Sometimes I and other families just feel we are on a road to nowhere.
"Some of the families would like to meet the PSNI immediately.
"Time is a major factor in all of this. Suspects are not getting any younger." | The PSNI has contacted more than 100 soldiers as part of the investigation into Bloody Sunday. | 33018319 | [

The former England Under-21 international has progressed through the youth system at Goodison Park and made nine appearances for the Toffees.
Browning, 22, missed the end of last season with a knee injury that kept him out for nearly a year.
"I hope to be able to come in and make an impact," he told the club website.
"I have heard nothing but good things about the club and can't wait to get started."

Having resumed on 54, with his team 251-6, the 23-year-old played patiently before reaching his ton from 260 balls and eventually ending on 118 not out.
Andy Hodd (44) had fallen early on day two, before much of the morning and afternoon were lost to rain.
But Jack Brooks' career-best 94 not out helped Yorkshire to 421-7 at the close.
The 32-year-old, with only three previous first-class half-centuries to his name, put on an unbroken 165 with Leaning as the pair seemingly batted a Lancashire attack minus the injured Jimmy Anderson out of the game.
After reaching 50 off 100 deliveries, Brooks' next 44 runs came off just 35 - including a seven-ball blitz for 26 runs that included two sixes and three fours.
The eighth-wicket partnership between Leaning and Brooks was also a Roses Match record for either side and gives Yorkshire some hope of forcing a positive result on days three and four.
Tom Bailey (3-107) took the only wicket to fall on the second day, bowling Hodd after the wicketkeeper had added only three to his overnight score.
Anderson, who will be sent for a scan on his right groin on Monday, will not bowl again in this match, but may bat if needed.
Lancashire's Ryan McLaren told BBC Radio Manchester:
"Tough, frustrating. The pitch has slowed up as the game has gone. Having taken that wicket this morning, you would have thought we would have been able to bowl them out pretty quickly.
"But Jack Brooks has batted well and Jack Leaning led the way and anchored the innings. We have created chances, but we didn't manage to take them. It was just a frustrating day.
"Sitting without a seam bowler (Anderson) is part of the game. That happens. But you've just got to adapt and find a way of taking wickets.
"It hasn't been easy, but we've got to try and pitch up, start again and hopefully knock them over quickly and try and bat long."
Yorkshire's Jack Leaning told BBC Radio Leeds:
"It's a big weight off my shoulders to get that hundred after a poor season in red-ball cricket. To do that in a tough situation in a Roses game against Lancashire means a lot.
"I didn't quite feel fluent for much of my innings, but to be able to get back to old ways and graft out ugly runs when I'm not feeling at my best is really pleasing.
"They bowled very well. They held their lengths and set the fields accordingly, which made it tough to score.
"Thankfully to get through that and get the team in a good position is massive. Then, Brooksy coming in and playing like he did was unbelievable." | Jack Leaning struck an unbeaten century as Yorkshire piled on the runs against Roses rivals Lancashire on a rain-affected second day at Old Trafford. | 39982863 | [
