Mae Arfon Roberts yn cyflogi wyth o bobl yn ei garej Bryn Eira ar gyrion y pentref.
Wrth siarad gyda'r Post Cynta ar BBC Radio Cymru, mae'n honni y bydd y system unffordd fydd yn cael ei defnyddio i reoli traffig yn ystod yr wythnos yn golygu na fydd faniau yn gallu dod a chydrannau ceir i'w garej, ac y bydd hynny'n arwain at golledion ariannol iddo.
Ond dywed yr Eisteddfod Genedlaethol fod y cynllun rheoli trafnidiaeth y cytunwyd arno ar y cyd efo'r gwasanaethau brys a'r cyngor sir, a bod swyddogion wedi ymweld â Mr Roberts i drafod y sefyllfa.
Dywedodd Mr Roberts: "Dani heb glywed llawer o ddim byd gan y Steddfod.
"Mae'r penderfyniadau i gyd wedi cael ei gwneud yn barod am y one way system.
"Does 'na neb yn y pentre yn gwybod dim byd, dani'n gofyn i bobl beth sy'n digwydd a tyda ni ddim yn cael ateb straight gan neb. Fyddai'n colli miloedd wythnos yma.
"Fedar y fania partiau ddim dod i fewn, fedar y cwsmeriaid ddim dod i fewn. Dwi byth eisiau gweld y Steddfod yn dod yma eto," meddai.
Dywedodd llefarydd ar ran yr Eisteddfod fod eu swyddogion hwy ynghyd â Chyngor sir Ynys Môn a'r gwasanaethau brys wedi trafod a chytuno ar gynllun rheoli trafnidiaeth ar gyfer y brifwyl gyda'r bwriad o osgoi tagfeydd a hwyluso'r trigolion.
"Rydym yn ymwybodol y bydd yna effaith ar rai cartrefi a busnesau ac rydym wedi ymweld â phob cartref a busnes i egluro'r sefyllfa a bod yr ymateb wedi bod yn gadarnhaol a chefnogol.
"Mae'r Eisteddfod, yr heddlu a chynrychiolydd ac adran Briffyrdd y cyngor wedi ymweld â Mr Roberts ac mae'r Eisteddfod dal mewn cysylltiad ag o, ac rydan ni hefyd wedi cysylltu hefo'r cwmnïau sy'n cyflenwi Mr Roberts i drafod hwyluso pethau iddyn nhw yn ystod yr wythnos".
Bydd Eisteddfod Genedlaethol Ynys Môn yn cael ei chynnal rhwng 5-12 o Awst. | Mae dyn busnes o Fodedern ar Ynys Môn yn honni y bydd ei fusnes yn colli miloedd o bunnoedd yn ystod yr wythnos pan fydd yr Eisteddfod Genedlaethol yn ymweld â'r ardal. | 40449771 | [

The Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) said mosques would offer refreshments and "insight" into how they run.
Leaders from other religions have also been invited, to "demonstrate unity".
The MCB has raised concerns about anti-Muslim sentiment since 17 people were killed by Islamist militants in Paris last month.
Announcing Visit My Mosque Day, the MCB said: "Mosques will be sharing tea and refreshments alongside an insight into the day-to-day goings on of a busy Muslim centre of worship.
Members of the Muslim community "may be on hand to answer questions about Muslims and Islam where this is possible," it said.
"Local mosques will also be inviting inter-faith leaders as well, and all will be invited to come together to demonstrate unity and solidarity during what has been a tense time for faith communities."
Speaking outside the East London Mosque in Whitechapel, MCB assistant secretary general Miqdaad Versi said the organisation wanted to "de-mystify what Islam, Muslims and mosques are all about".
"People can have the opportunity to understand these things directly from people that they can speak to, and by actually experiencing these institutions and coming into mosques they can break down the barriers that they previously had," he said.
Mr Versi said there had been a rise in "Islamophobia" since the Paris killings, with attacks on three or four mosques, more verbal attacks against Muslims and "a lot more hate mail" being received by the MCB.
"For us it's important to try and create a positive image, and not let the actions of a few impact the reality of the many," he added.
The Reverend Fred Ashford-Okai, one of those who visited East London Mosque earlier, said: "The more we know about each other - Muslims, Christians, Jews, even those with no faith - the more we can actually live a more cohesive life in our community."
More than 20 mosques were expected to take part.
The figure is a small proportion of the total number of mosques in Britain, which is estimated to be 1,750.
The MCB said only 55-60% of mosques were affiliated to it, and the total includes small establishments such as prayer rooms in schools and offices. | Mosques have opened their doors to the public as part of a drive to "reach out to fellow Britons following tensions around terrorism". | 31076194 | [

Ms Tiffney was last seen leaving her home in Edinburgh's Dean Village in May 2002.
A murder charge against her son Sean Flynn was found not proven by a jury at the High Court in Perth in 2005.
The remains were found in an area off the A198, near the entrance to Gosford House in Longniddry.
A cyclist called the emergency services when they made the discovery at about 18:30 on Sunday.
There are 40 police officers working on the find.
It is thought Ms Tiffney was murdered and her body disposed of in the Gosford House area.
The bones are still in situ and it is understood it will take a few days to recover them.
Det Supt Pat Campbell, of Police Scotland, said: "The recovery will be a painstaking process.
"We are consulting with a number of experts to ensure that the remains are recovered in a sensitive and careful manner and no evidence that helps us to establish what happened is damaged or missed.
"I understand the anxiety of those who may be waiting for news of a missing loved one, but whilst the identity of the remains is unknown we cannot speculate."
He added: "The death is being treated as unexplained and once the remains are recovered, there will be significant, detailed forensic analysis required to establish the cause of death and whether any crime has been committed." | Police investigating the discovery of human remains in East Lothian have spoken to the family of missing woman Louise Tiffney. | 39487969 | [

Theresa May said EU leaders' remarks showed it was "absolutely right" for the UK not to have acted unilaterally.
EU Council president Donald Tusk has said there can be no "reciprocal" deal on expats until formal talks begin.
He was responding to criticism from Tory politicians who accused EU figures of "standing in the way" of a deal.
Replying to a question in the Commons from Conservative MP Peter Lilley, Mrs May said she hoped the issue would be examined early during the Brexit negotiations, which cannot begin until she has triggered Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty.
The PM said it was "right" to give reassurance to both sets of citizens, adding: "But I think the reaction that we've seen shows why it was absolutely right for us not to do what the Labour Party wanted us to do, which was simply to give away the guarantee to rights of EU citizens here in the UK, because as we've seen that would've left UK citizens in Europe high and dry."
The letter from 81 mostly Conservative MPs and peers called for a speedy resolution and pointed the finger at EU Brexit negotiators for holding up a deal.
It said members of the European Commission appeared "worryingly indifferent" for British and EU citizens and called for discussions to "move forward quickly".
"People are not bargaining chips," it said.
"Human being are not cards to be traded 'tit for tat' in a political playground."
In response, Mr Tusk said their criticism had "nothing to do with reality".
He said the vote for Brexit - not the stance taken by EU negotiators - had created "anxiety and uncertainty", saying the best way to "dispel the fears and doubts of all the citizens concerned" was to trigger Article 50, which begins a two-year negotiation process.
The EU was ready to begin talks as soon as Article 50 was triggered, he said.
There have been calls from some MPs for the government to offer a unilateral guarantee to EU nationals in the UK, but ministers have said this must form part of a deal with other member states for Britons living overseas.
In the House of Lords, Home Office Minister Baroness Williams of Trafford quoted Mrs May's comment from PM's questions and said the "only circumstances" in which it would not be possible to protect the status of EU nationals in the UK would be if "British citizens' rights in the other EU member states were not protected in turn".
The government's stance was criticised by Lib Dem Baroness Ludford, who said there was cross-party support for a unilateral commitment from the government.
This would be the "morally right thing to do" she said, adding that the 27 other EU member states would then find it impossible not to match the UK's offer. | Britons living around Europe would have been left "high and dry" if the rights of EU citizens to stay in the UK had been guaranteed, the PM has said. | 38156891 | [

Researchers discovered it after looking back at some fossils found in the late 2000s in Morocco, North Africa.
Two of the fossils were in such good condition that the team were able to make this amazingly detailed reconstruction.
You can clearly see its small mouth filled with hundreds of teeth and the prickly spines which cover its body.
This slug like creature also had a built in, helmet like, shell to keep it safe from predators.
It might look a little terrifying but it was only four inches long and scientists think it survived by eating algae off rocks.
Molluscs first appeared on earth around 520 million years ago, Calvapilosa is an ancient relative of modern molluscs.
A mollusc is a type of animal that doesn't have a spine, there are lots of different kinds including slugs, snails, oysters and squid.
Jakob Vinther who was the lead researcher on the project said "This discovery brings a neat solution to how the ancestor of all molluscs may have looked." | This is Calvapilosa, a prehistoric relative of modern sea slugs. | 38894313 | [

Mansfield District Council stopped people riding around the market place to combat "anti-social" cycling.
However, it said "responsible" cyclists were welcome in the same place for the Tour of Britain on 6 September.
Campaign group Cycling UK said Mansfield hosting the race was illogical.
The group is currently supporting six cyclists who are challenging the council over a public spaces protection order (PSPO), issued a year ago, which prohibits people from cycling in the pedestrianised market place area.
Anyone who fails to dismount when asked could be fined.
Cycling UK spokesman Duncan Dollimore said: "They are marketing the town as cycle friendly, but not to people who want to shop there.
"We would never defend cycling anti-social behaviour, but why not deal with those being stupid and not responsible cyclists.
"They are effectively saying cycling is anti-social."
He also criticised the council's own promotional video showing a cyclist riding through areas which are prohibited.
In a statement, Mansfield District Council said it welcomed responsible cyclists to the town to view the race, but with care and consideration.
Riders have been encouraged to dismount, but "normal" rules concerning the PSPO will not be in operation for the "special event".
Mansfield's mayor Kate Allsop said: "This is about safety. This event will be properly monitored and managed.
"What we don't want is people dashing through the town centre on their bikes frightening or upsetting people.
"This is a special event and it would have been a dreadful shame if we were so inflexible that we would not host this amazing opportunity." | A council has been accused of double standards for allowing a stage of a major cycle race to start in a town centre where cyclists have been banned. | 40974380 | [

No pope had resigned for 600 years.
A second surprise was that after spending a short period of rest at the papal summer villa at Castelgandolfo, near Rome, he decided to take up residence again inside the walls of Vatican City where a former convent had been converted for his personal use.
How would the ex-pontiff and the new reigning Pope manage to co-habit?
When rival popes were elected for political reasons in different parts of Europe during the late Middle Ages, it caused confusion and conflict within the church.
But in this case there has been an exceptionally smooth transition from one papacy to the next.
Pope Benedict, or rather Emeritus Pope Benedict to give him his new official title, lives only a few hundred metres away from his successor Pope Francis.
The two popes visit each other occasionally and communicate fairly frequently by telephone and letter.
Pope Benedict, who for the previous eight years was one of the world's highest profile public figures, now keeps deliberately out of the limelight.
"He lives discreetly without a public life, but that doesn't mean he is isolated," says Father Federico Lombardi, the Vatican's official spokesman.
The 86-year-old former pope spends his time very quietly: reading, praying, studying, handling correspondence, receiving occasional visitors.
He also plays Mozart and Beethoven on the baby grand piano that he brought with him when he left the spacious papal apartments in the Apostolic Palace.
The same four consecrated laywomen - who kept house for him when he was pope - continue to run his more modest new household.
They have been photographed with him, taking his daily walk with the aid of a black cane in the well manicured Vatican gardens behind St Peter's Basilica, an oasis of tranquillity., situated in the heart of Rome, yet sheltered from the din and traffic chaos of the Italian capital.
Benedict was guest of honour at a luncheon party given by Pope Francis at the Casa Santa Marta - the Vatican guest house where he has chosen to live - to celebrate his own 77th birthday just before Christmas.
Writing a few days later to the dissident Swiss theologian Hans Kueng - with whom he had had a serious falling out years ago, banning him from teaching at a Catholic university - the former Cardinal Ratzinger showed a much more conciliatory attitude than he had shown during his years in positions of power inside the Vatican.
"I am grateful to be bound by a great identity of views and by a deep friendship with Pope Francis," he wrote to Prof Kueng. "My only final task is to support his papacy in my prayers."
Superficially, nothing much has changed inside the Vatican during the year of two popes.
Some key new appointments - such as that of the pope's deputy, or secretary of state, have been made by Pope Francis - but the weekly rhythm of business inside the world's smallest sovereign state continues as before.
Bishops from around the world are beginning to arrive again in national groups to make their annual five-yearly report to Rome on what is going on in their dioceses.
Heads of state and government are received in private audience by Pope Francis.
Attendance at the Pope's Wednesday General Audience and his regular Sunday blessing of the faithful in St Peter's Square has more than doubled since Pope Benedict's resignation.
This reflects the growing international popularity of his successor, the first Pope from the Americas, who has not surprisingly been declared person of the year by Time Magazine and been celebrated by cover stories in the New Yorker and even the pop music magazine Rolling Stone.
Archbishop Georg Gaenswein has been Pope Benedict's private secretary for nearly a decade and continues to live in the convent with the former pontiff.
He is one of the few people who see both popes on a daily basis, as he is also responsible for arranging the diary and engagements of Pope Francis as Head of the Papal Household.
"I try to be a bridge between both popes, and so far it has worked very well. I hope the two bosses are happy," the archbishop told Reuters news agency. | When Pope Benedict XVI suddenly announced exactly one year ago that he was resigning for health reasons, he sent shock waves around the world. | 26130837 | [

Shaun Coles, 24, of Church Street, Louth, admitted a charge of sexually assaulting a girl under the age of 13.
Lincoln Crown Court heard he and the girl had initially messaged each other on Facebook before meeting.
The messages between the two were uncovered by the girl's mother after she went missing. Coles was jailed for a total of 30 months.

The girl was meeting Coles and when she returned home she showed police messages between them on her phone.
Tony Standford, prosecuting, said: "Clearly there was a lot of inappropriate conversation and activity had taken place.
"There were numerous references to them being in love and to kissing and cuddling."
Coles admitted in police interviews he knew the girl was only 12 and that his behaviour was unacceptable.
Grace Hale, for the defence, described Coles as "very immature" and said he had issues with ADHD.
"He has been candid in his admissions to the police," she said.
"He had only known the girl for a short time before this incident.
Judge Michael Heath, imposing sentence, said: "You knew that she was 12 years old. You were twice her age.
"This was not the girl's fault. She was the victim and you should not have behaved in the way you did."
In addition to the jail term the judge also placed Coles on the sex offenders' register for life,
He was also given an indefinite sexual harm prevention order. | A man has been jailed for grooming a 12-year-old girl on Facebook who he went on to abuse. | 39723933 | [

The 2000 Olympic super-heavyweight champion is backing fellow Briton Joshua to be too strong for American Charles Martin in Saturday's IBF world heavyweight title fight in London.
Harrison says "all the cards are in Joshua's favour", likening the 26-year-old to the ex-heavyweight champions.
"He lives the life of an athlete," Harrison, 44, told BBC Radio 5 live.
"He's very fit, strong and committed.
"I just think Anthony Joshua has got that George Foreman, Frank Bruno brutish strength - that ingredient that is hard to hold him off."
Watch: Anthony Joshua, Beast Mode
Martin has won 23 and drawn one of his 24 fights and beat Vyacheslav Glazkov for the vacant IBF belt in January.
Harrison has sparred with the 29-year-old American, whom he calls a "rugged, tall, big southpaw", but says Watford-born Joshua will have the British crowd behind him on Saturday.
"Charles Martin will be gallant, brave and it's a great fight potentially" said Harrison. "But I can't see him keeping back the steam train that is Anthony Joshua." | Anthony Joshua has the "brutish strength" of George Foreman and Frank Bruno, according to Audley Harrison. | 35976033 | [

His team defeated the Kiwis 20-14 to clinch the series 2-1 in the last game before his current deal expired.
"We will sit down, assess it and look at it," said McNamara, who has been in charge since 2010.
"These are the sort of things you deal with post-tournament, there is a process and I'm in no rush."

The former Bradford Bulls boss, 44, is also out of contract with club side Sydney Roosters, where he is attack coach.
It has been reported that McNamara has agreed a new two-year deal with the Australian National Rugby League side.
McNamara initially coached England on a full-time basis but has combined the position with his job at the Roosters since 2013.
He went into Saturday's match with a record of only two wins in 11 matches against the world's top two sides - New Zealand and Australia.
Former Great Britain international Garry Schofield - now an outspoken columnist - claimed before the game that there was "no debate about it, he has to go".
But the series win strengthens McNamara's prospects of a deal that will take him through to the 2017 World Cup.
The last significant series win against either the Kiwis or Australia was Great Britain's 3-0 triumph over New Zealand in 2007.
Since then there have been numerous near misses, including a 20-18 World Cup semi-final defeat against the Kiwis at Wembley in 2013 and two narrow Four Nations defeats in 2014.
England took the lead in the current series with victory in Hull but they were defeated 9-2 at the Olympic Stadium to set up Saturday's thrilling conclusion.
"It's an incredible feeling," added McNamara. "The players completely deserve it after working tirelessly.
"Success hasn't until this point come for the team, but thankfully they've finally got what they deserve.
"New Zealand are the number one team in the world and have dominated international rugby league in a physical sense. We've been able to match that in three consecutive games.
"We've got quality and experience to add to our group.
"We've got a good, young bunch that is ready to play for a number of years so the signs are pretty strong for us moving forward, particularly now we've got across the line."
The England team that competes in the 2016 Four Nations could be significantly stronger - with Sam Burgess, George Burgess, Sam Tomkins and Jack Reed all missing from the current series.
Canterbury Bulldogs prop James Graham was in the GB team that defeated the Kiwis in 2007 but many in the current England side had never experienced a major series win.
"The pressure has been released," said the former St Helens player.
"The win will help breathe confidence into the less experienced lads but we cannot get carried away. The big thing for the England team is to kick on and win a major tournament."
And the 30-year-old was one of numerous players to back McNamara to continue in his role as England coach.
"It is a no-brainer," he said when asked whether the coach should stay on. "If he wants the job, then I see no reason why not. There is no need to change it."
McNamara made two changes to his side for the final Test, bringing in winger Jermaine McGillvary and Wigan scrum-half Matty Smith, who won the man-of-the-match award.
"I think Steve has been building something good," added Smith. "I do not see any reason why we need to change the coach now.
"We have been building nicely and now we have won something."
New Zealand coach Stephen Kearney was gracious in defeat - praising the quality of England over the three games.
But he also acknowledged how the number of Englishmen playing for Australian clubs in the NRL had helped the national team.
Gareth Widdop, Graham, Josh Hodgson, Thomas Burgess and Mike Cooper all played in the NRL last season - and Kearney said: "It is certainly of benefit.
"For 26 rounds in the NRL it is survival of the fittest, high-intensity football. That is helping to condition the Burgess lads and Widdop, those types of players, for sure." | England coach Steve McNamara refused to discuss his future after his team defeated New Zealand in the crucial series decider in Wigan. | 34823603 | [

Sally Chidzoy said she was targeted after raising concerns when an MP appeared to convince a senior colleague to drop one of her stories.
She further alleges she was "falsely imprisoned" by management during an attempt to seize her phone.
Ms Chidzoy also claims she was sexually discriminated against and victimised.
The tribunal in Cambridge was told Ms Chidzoy, who works as BBC Look East's home affairs correspondent, had been investigating East of England Ambulance Service boss Anthony Marsh's salary package.
She said the story was dropped after assistant editor Steve Silk received a late-night email from then-Liberal Democrat health minister Norman Lamb in July 2014.
Sent from a private account, it noted Mr Lamb's "real concern about the potential damage" the story could have on the service.
Giving evidence, Ms Chidzoy said she had discovered a "very close" relationship between Mr Lamb and Dr Marsh and she felt the MP was "attempting, in my view, to stop a broadcast".
"He should not be doing this and leaning on the BBC and its duty to be impartial and independent.
"[It was] a direct attempt to interfere with an ongoing piece that had not yet been broadcast."
Representing the BBC, Sophie Belgrave disputed the suggestion Mr Silk had been influenced by the email, saying he would have done it in a "clandestine" way had this been the case.
She said: "If he was going to give in to political interference from Norman Lamb on the sly, they would just do it."
Disciplinary proceedings were launched against Ms Chidzoy after she raised the issue of the MP's interference and after an email from Mr Lamb to Mr Silk was leaked to a Sunday newspaper.
Bosses subsequently attempted to seize her phone and "falsely imprisoned" her at a meeting in September 2014, the tribunal was told.
Ms Chidzoy said she investigated another story about the Centre for Business and Public Sector Ethics, which was receiving money from the Chinese government.
She was informed BBC Look East editor Nikki O'Donnell was the "organisation's press spokesperson", the tribunal was told.
Ms Chidzoy said: "The problems I encountered involved what I believe is internal corruption and poor management."
She also alleges she was subjected to a covert investigation by ex-Met police officers at the BBC investigation unit while the proceedings were ongoing.

Coleman, whose current deal ends after Euro 2016, has discussed extending his, but says he and the Football Association of Wales are "apart" in their talks.
Ledley hopes the former Fulham boss will stay in charge for the 2018 World Cup qualifying campaign.
"We want him to be here for many years to come," said Ledley.

"What he's done for us and the whole nation is remarkable.
"It's all new to us, but I'm sure something will be sorted sooner or later."
Wales continue their preparations for this summer's European Championships with a home friendly against Northern Ireland on Thursday, before visiting Ukraine four days later.
Coleman has said wives, girlfriends and family members will be banned from Wales' team hotel during the early stages of their Euro 2016 campaign.
Asked if he was happy with the decision, Crystal Palace midfielder Ledley joked: "Yeah, definitely, peace and quiet!
"We want to be in great shape and if that means sacrificing five weeks of your life then happy days.
"It's going to be a great one and I'm sure everyone will understand. It's a good decision from the manager."
Midfielder Joe Allen has started only three of Liverpool's Premier League games this season.
The former Swansea City player said: "The silver lining I guess in having not played that much this season is going into the Euros I'm hoping that I might have fresh legs and hopefully I can peak a bit later than a lot of other players."
The 26-year-old says his season "has been okay on a personal level, but then it has been incredible from a Wales point of view".
Allen added: "I'm not somebody who needs an extra incentive to go and work hard in training every day, but it has been great to have the knowledge that France was coming up in the back of my mind.
"I think for every player in the squad they have known what is waiting at the end of the season, and that's been amazing for everyone.
"It has made sure everyone has pushed themselves, and sub-consciously or not worked a little bit harder." | Wales players want manager Chris Coleman to sign a new contract, according to midfielder Joe Ledley. | 35873875 | [

She is the first non-white female cabinet-level official appointed to the incoming Trump administration.
Mrs Haley is the daughter of Indian immigrants and was a vocal critic of Mr Trump on the campaign trail.
A rising star in the Republican party, the 44-year-old is the youngest governor in the US.
Mr Trump said in a press release: "Governor Haley has a proven track record of bringing people together regardless of background or party affiliation to move critical policies forward for the betterment of her state and our country.
"She is also a proven dealmaker, and we look to be making plenty of deals. She will be a great leader representing us on the world stage."
The Republican-controlled Senate will need to confirm her appointment before she officially takes office.
In a statement, Mrs Haley said she was "moved" to accept the assignment and would remain the South Carolina governor, pending her congressional confirmation.
She had endorsed Florida Senator Marco Rubio during the Republican primaries, later throwing her support behind Senator Ted Cruz - Mr Trump's final rival before he became the party's nominee.
Although Mrs Haley eventually voted for Mr Trump, the governor said she was "not a fan" of either him or the Democratic candidate, Hillary Clinton.
Eye-catching though her political career has been, little is known about Nikki Haley's views on the foreign affairs and the United Nations. Diplomats here have been Googling her to find out more. When her nomination was announced I was with a senior diplomat, who had expected President-elect Trump to downgrade the job of UN ambassador so that it was no longer a cabinet-level position.
He was heartened that Mr Trump had selected a "political heavyweight", and viewed it as an early indication than the incoming administration will take the UN more seriously than he'd supposed. Certainly, she's no John Bolton, the US ambassador during the Bush administration who famously remarked that it would not make much of a difference if the UN headquarters in New York lost its top 10 floors - where the organisation's most senior figures, including the secretary general, have their offices.
Many UN diplomats fear a Trump presidency and there's relief here that he hasn't appointed an outspoken UN-basher.
She also sharply attacked Mr Trump's proposal to ban Muslim immigrants, calling it "un-American", as well as his refusal to release his tax records.
For his part, Mr Trump had called her "very weak on illegal immigration" and said South Carolinians were "embarrassed" by her.
But the newly minted president-elect, who will be inaugurated in January, invited her for a meeting last week at Trump Tower in Manhattan.
Mrs Haley has little previous foreign policy experience, though the Charleston Post and Courier reports she has taken at least eight trips abroad since becoming governor in 2011, mostly in support of economic development deals for her state.
During a trade mission to Europe in 2011, she was criticised by the newspaper for staying at expensive hotels and attending parties, costing the taxpayer $127,000 (£103,000).
Born Nimrata "Nikki" Randhawa, Mrs Haley was raised in a Sikh household and now identifies as a Christian.
She is the first minority and female governor of South Carolina, a deeply conservative state with a long history of racial strife.
She was praised by members of both parties in 2015 when she ordered the Confederate battle flag to be removed from the grounds of the state capitol after a racially motivated shooting at an African-American church in Charleston.
Mrs Haley, who is in her second and final term as governor, was elected in 2010, riding a wave of the Republican Tea Party.
She is married to Army National Guard Captain Michael Haley, and the couple have two teenage children.

The job of the "permanent representative" to the UN is to represent US interests. As a member of the cabinet the ambassador must inform the president of UN activities and make recommendations for state actions.
The envoy has the responsibility of a role on the UN Security Council, with a permanent veto power.
Mr Trump has previously heaped scorn on the organisation, telling a gathering of pro-Israel lobbyists in March this year: "The United Nations is not a friend of democracy, it's not a friend to freedom, it's not a friend even to the United States of America."
Irish-born Samantha Power, an ex-White House adviser, former war correspondent and Pulitzer Prize-winning author, is currently in the post.

Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake said she was replacing Police Commissioner Anthony Batts with his deputy, Kevin Davis, for an interim period.
The city was rocked by riots in April when a black man died after suffering injuries in police custody.
Six officers were charged over the death of the 25-year-old, Freddie Gray.
Speaking at a news conference on Wednesday, Mayor Rawlings-Blake said Mr Batts had "served this city with distinction" since becoming police chief in October 2012.
But referring to the city's high homicide rate, she said "too many continue to die".
"The focus has been too much on the leadership of the department and not enough on the crime fighting," she told reporters, adding: "We need to get the crime surge under control."
The city has seen a sharp increase in violence since Freddie Gray's death on 19 April, with 155 homicides this year, a 48% increase over the same period last year.
On Tuesday, the police department announced that an outside organisation will review its response to the civil unrest that followed Mr Gray's death.
The US justice department is also conducting a civil rights review of the Baltimore force and Mr Batts has been criticised by the city's police union.
Earlier on Wednesday, the union released its report into the police handling of the rioting.
It said officers had complained "that they lacked basic riot equipment, training, and, as events unfolded, direction from leadership".
The report also said "officers repeatedly expressed concern that the passive response to the civil unrest had allowed the disorder to grow into full scale rioting".
Recent events had "placed attention on police leadership", Ms Rawlings-Blake said, but denied her decision was influenced by the union report.
Mr Davis, who is taking over immediately as interim police chief, praised his "friend" Mr Batts and said he was a "true reform commissioner".
Mayor Rawlings-Blake said Mr Davis would "bring accountability to police, hold officers who act out of line accountable for their actions". | Baltimore's mayor has sacked the US city's police chief, saying his leadership had become a distraction from fighting a "crime surge". | 33450854 | [

Liam Craig swept home Steven MacLean's delivery in with 14 minutes gone.
ICT captain Gary Warren was dismissed for two bookable offences in quick succession after the break, leading to Murray Davidson firing in a second.
Danny Swanson broke neatly into the box and killed off Caley Thistle in the final 10 minutes with a low finish.
Inverness, now propping up the league table, have conceded more goals than any other side in the Premiership.
Their rearguard were all lured to the ball for the opening goal. Good play from MacLean drew in a posse of defenders before he played in Craig to deftly finish from the edge of the box.
When skipper Warren was sent-off you feared the worst for Inverness. His first yellow was for persistent fouling. His second came soon after for a foul on Swanson as the forward skipped past him. The resultant free-kick led to Davidson doubling the Saints lead.
Injuries have not helped Caley Thistle's cause at the back - Ross Draper was forced to play centre-back - but boss Richie Foran must be concerned about the porous nature of his defence.
St Johnstone had lost three of their four home games ahead this match. Manager Tommy Wright knew it was vital his side stopped conceding poor goals.
It was better in the first half. Often Inverness got to the St Johnstone box only to be rebuffed by a ring of light blue steel that resulted in the visitors barely getting a sniff of goal.
Overall Inverness looked toothless but credit to St Johnstone for looking more like their resolute selves.
There was a swagger about Wright's side after they opened the scoring, but they had to wait until the second half to increase their lead.
They might have had a penalty when Richard Foster went down in the box under challenge. It looked a bit soft and referee Euan Anderson waved it away.
St Johnstone deserved another goal, though, and it came after Warren's dismissal, Davidson finding the bottom corner from the ricocheted free-kick.
Swanson added the icing to the cake with a third goal 10 minutes from time, as Saints sealed an utterly deserved victory.
St Johnstone manager Tommy Wright: "We started on the front foot, got the goal, then after the first and second goals we dropped off a little bit. Inverness got back into it without causing us many problems.
"Our achilles heel this season has been not defending crosses into the box and set plays, and I thought the two centre-halves and Murray Davidson in particular dealt with them well.
"Swanson's goal is a good, quality goal, and we probably could've scored more when they went down to 10. I'm pleased with the three points and probably equally pleased with the clean sheet."
Inverness CT manager Richie Foran: "We got what we deserved. We've gone from one of our best performances of the season (against Dundee) to probably our worst. It's very disappointing. Talk about being inconsistent - that's sums us up this season.
"You're in there before games trying to motivate them and they're talking the talk, all the clichés, and they're going out there and not walking the walk. Go do your talking on the park - we didn't today.
"I can't be too harsh on the lads, their attitude is wonderful day in, day out, but you get paid to perform in the match and we've not performed over the last three or four games.
"But I know exactly what I need to bring in - our problem is we've got too many attack-minded players, we're right up there on the goal charts, but we're worse off on goals against, so we need more defensive-minded players and I'll go and get them (in January). The funds are there."

The US-born radical Yemeni cleric Anwar al-Awlaki is head of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.
Two brothers believed to be mid-ranking al-Qaeda officials died in a drone strike in south Yemen on Thursday, Yemeni officials said.
The attack came just days after al-Qaeda chief Osama Bin Laden was killed in Pakistan by US Navy Seals.
The Pentagon refused to comment on the reports that Anwar al-Awlaki was specifically targeted in Yemen.
According to Yemen's defence ministry, the missile fired by the drone hit a car in in the province of Shabwa carrying two brothers, identified by Yemeni officials as Musa'id and Abdullah Mubarak.
But reports from Washington now suggest US commanders had believed they had one of al-Qaeda's most valuable targets in their sights.
"We were hoping it was him," one unnamed US official told CBS News.
The reported attempt to kill Mr Awlaki is believed to be the first known US military strike within Yemen since May 2010, when missiles mistakenly killed one of Mr Saleh's envoys.
In September the country's foreign minister said that such unmanned strikes had been suspended.
The report comes as Yemenis continue to take to the streets to demand that Ali Abdullah Saleh, president for 30 years, step down.
According to the Wall Street Journal, there were several attempts to target Mr Awlaki on Thursday.
He escaped an initial attack of three rockets fired at a vehicle in which he was travelling and then swapped cars with the two brothers, who were killed in a second strike by a single drone, the newspaper said.
Washington considers the Yemen-based al-Qaeda branch the world's most active terror cell.
It is estimated to have some 300 fighters within Yemeni strongholds, clustered around mountain ranges where the central government has little reach.
The group is said to have inspired attacks by Muslims within the US as well as plots to smuggle explosives on planes heading to the US.
Some analysts are convinced that, after the death of Bin Laden, Mr Awlaki represents the greatest threat.
An American-born cleric of Yemeni descent, he was placed on a terrorism blacklist in July 2010 and had imposed financial sanctions on him.
US officials say Mr Awlaki helped recruit Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the Nigerian accused of attempting to blow up an airliner as it flew into Detroit on 25 December 2009.
Maj Nidal Hasan, the US Army psychiatrist accused of killing 13 comrades in the Fort Hood shooting in 2009, sought religious advice from Mr Awlaki and saw him preach in the US state of Virginia in 2001, US officials say.
A student found guilty of attempting to murder British MP Stephen Timms in London was also said to have been inspired by Mr Awlaki's online sermons. | A US drone attack in Yemen targeted but failed to kill one of al-Qaeda's most influential figures, US reports say. | 13319862 | [

Builders working on the BBC programme were targeted while helping with the project in West Bromwich. Show bosses said three vans have been hit in the past week.
Volunteers are transforming the family home of a mother who died from cancer.
Presenter Nick Knowles tweeted on Wednesday to say he was "really disappointed" by the thefts.
The programme is extending the home of Sandra Chambers, who has looked after her two grandchildren since the death of their mother Crystal in October 2015.

Show bosses said two vans - a Peugeot and a Ford - were broken into on Wednesday morning and tools taken.
On Thursday a Mercedes Sprinter was also broken into, but nothing was stolen. The thefts have been reported to West Midlands Police.
End of Twitter post by @MrNickKnowles
Mr Knowles' tweet prompted a local Peugeot dealership to get in touch and he later thanked them for their help, as well as another person who gave £30 to cover repairs.
The project to extend the house is being completed by the DIY SOS team and an army of volunteers, including local tradespeople and neighbours, in a nine-day build. | Thieves broke into vans and stole tools being used by a team working on a life-changing project for TV show DIY SOS. | 40729647 | [

The man dialled two taxi firms from the landline in the house at Wodecroft Road, Luton, but hung up after he was asked for his phone number.
Bedfordshire Police asked anyone who recognised the man's voice to contact them.
A flat-screen television and other electrical items were stolen from the house.
The calls were made in the early hours of Saturday 25 October using a cordless telephone, which was then left on a table in the garden, police said.
The man called two Luton taxi firms which were both dealt with by the same control office.
In the first call, the suspect was asked to leave his landline number, but said he did not know it.
He was then asked to leave his mobile number and he started to, but then stopped, claiming he did not know it.
Police said he then made a second call and got through to the same controller, who explained the office handled calls for more than one taxi firm.
The force hopes the suspect, who almost revealed his mobile phone number, can be identified from the recordings, which were made automatically.
Det Con Scott Hannam said: "We are keen to identify the man as we believe he may have important information which could assist our investigation.
"I would urge anyone who recognises his voice, or for the man himself, to contact police.
"I am also keen to hear from anyone who has any information or saw a large television being carried around this area on the night in question." | Police have released recordings of a suspected burglar phoning for a taxi from the house he had just broken into. | 30199639 | [

The former hooker will replace Chris Gibbes, who confirmed in January he will become head coach of the Wellington Lions in New Zealand.
Capped eight times by Ireland, Clarke was a part of the Ulster team which won the 1999 Heineken Cup.
"I'm delighted to have this opportunity and really excited about the next challenge in my career," said Clarke.
As a coach, the 49-year-old helped the province win the 2006 Celtic League title before joining the Irish Rugby Union as high performance manager.
He returned to Ulster in 2012 and became forwards coach two years later.
Clarke also has international coaching experience with Ireland A and Emerging Ireland, with whom he won the 2015 Tbilisi Cup ahead of Georgia, Italy A and Uruguay.
"I'm looking forward to the challenge," added Clarke.
"It's an ambitious organisation with a great mix of experience and some real talent coming through and I hope I can add value for the players, the coaches and the management.
"Chris Gibbes has done a great job in building a pack that has the potential to go toe-to-toe with anyone and I'm grateful to have that platform to work from when I arrive in the summer." | Ulster forwards coach Allen Clarke will join Ospreys at the end of the season. | 39329374 | [

Staff at the hospital, run by the Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust (NTW) ordered a pizza on 10 December, but were dismayed when the phrase appeared on the delivery instructions.
The NTW said staff were "greatly distressed".
Neither the hospital or the pizza shop have been identified.
The trust, which runs sites in Northumberland, Newcastle, North Tyneside, Gateshead, South Tyneside and Sunderland, said it had written to the shop and removed the takeaway from its list of approved suppliers until the matter is resolved.
Will Green, head of communications at NTW, said: "Despite great efforts over recent years, mental ill health is still surrounded by prejudice, ignorance and fear.
"With one in four people experiencing some form of mental health issue in their lifetime, it is important that organisations such as ours support efforts to reduce stigma and challenge examples of stigma wherever we find them." | A pizza company labelled a hospital a "looney bin", leaving mental health workers "horrified and distressed". | 35110363 | [

"Of course I wouldn't rule that out, but that's not for now," he told the BBC's Newsnight.
Yentob said the decision to drop Clarkson as a presenter of Top Gear was right, but also a sad day for the BBC.
He said it would be a disappointment if the other presenters quit, but the programme might still continue.
Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May have worked together on Top Gear since 2003.
The BBC has so far not commented on the future of Hammond and May.
Yentob acknowledged it was "perfectly natural" for the presenters to have reservations about continuing on the BBC Two show: "They are a team - they have worked together for a very long time, they are all very attached.
"The question of what happens next for Top Gear is a conversation which must go on between the controller of BBC Two Kim Shillinglaw, between Andy [Wilman - producer of Top Gear], and the team."
On Wednesday, Hammond tweeted: "Gutted at such a sad end to an era. We're all three of us idiots in our different ways but it's been an incredible ride together."
May also appeared to suggest he was contemplating his own departure, telling Sky News: "I'm sure Top Gear can continue in some way. It existed before us and has been reformatted several times."
Clarkson was suspended on 10 March, following what was called a "fracas" with Top Gear producer Oisin Tymon.
On Wednesday it was announced the presenter's contract would not be renewed.
An internal investigation, led by Ken MacQuarrie, the director of BBC Scotland, found that Mr Tymon took himself to hospital after he was subject to an "unprovoked physical and verbal attack".
North Yorkshire Police are also looking into the incident, which took place at a local hotel.
"We have a duty to investigate where we believe an offence might have been committed, and that is what we have been doing with this case," a spokesperson said.
"As is usual in these circumstances, we have made contact with Mr Tymon through his lawyers, to ask him to speak to us so we can ascertain how he wishes to pursue this matter."
"When these routine enquiries are completed, we will be able to assess whether or not further action needs to be taken from a police perspective."
Speaking to reporters outside his home on Thursday, Clarkson refused to answer when asked if he was worried about a potential arrest.
Instead, he said: "All I would like to say is... I wish people would leave Ois [Oisin Tymon] alone because none of this was his fault." | BBC creative director Alan Yentob has said he would not rule out Jeremy Clarkson making a return to the BBC in the future. | 32062579 | [

The suspension was cut following a hearing at Wembley on Thursday.
Andrew, 29, was not punished for the incident during the game on 29 October, but was later cited after a Football Association video review.

He was being questioned about problems with a Trident missile test last June.
The ex-defence minister said that "years ago" a Seaslug aircraft missile was "fired into Wales" by mistake.
It is believed he was referring to an incident in Cardigan Bay in 1958 involving HMS Girdle Ness, when a missile crashed into a hillside.
Giving evidence to the Commons Defence Committee on Tuesday, Lord West said: "Years ago we had an aircraft missile called the Seaslug missile and we fired one into Wales."
"Those sort of things happen but you don't go and talk to the prime minister about that, unless their constituency happens to be there," he added. | A surface-to-air missile was once accidentally fired into Wales by the Royal Navy, the Labour peer Admiral Lord West has told MPs. | 38745034 | [

The huts, made of chalk and straw daub and wheat-thatched roofing, have been based on archaeological remains found at Durrington Walls, near Stonehenge.
Project leader Luke Winter said: "What we're trying to do is get a sense of what these buildings looked like above-ground."
The hope is to re-build the huts at Stonehenge visitor centre next year.
"What makes the buildings interesting is that they were dated to about the same time as the large sarsen stones were being erected at Stonehenge," Mr Winter said.
"One of the theories is that these may have housed the people that were helping with construction of that monument."
Inside, the project team has used a variety of different daubs, made of pig soil [dung] or chalk and straw and construction techniques that would have been used by Neolithic people.
"We've been trying a completely different way of thatching a roof. Nothing is tied onto the roof, as you would in a modern thatched building but the wheat straw that we've used is knotted and then tucked into a woven framework.
"Often people think 4,500 years ago is a long time ago, which of course to us as modern people it is, but it's well into beginnings of agriculture.
"We're looking at people that were farming, keeping cows and domesticating cereal crops, and of course houses were an important thing."
The Neolithic huts will be kept for another two months and will open to the public during the two May bank holidays. | Three Neolithic-style huts have been built at Old Sarum to offer an insight into how Stonehenge's builders lived. | 22424880 | [

Tettey, who scored a "toe-poke" against Manchester United last month, side-footed home to give Norwich a 1-0 win.
"If I score a goal it will be talked about. Today it was nice to do a Yaya Toure," he told BBC Radio Norfolk.
"I was happy, when I made contact with the ball I looked up and it was just going in, it was a great goal."
Victory at Carrow Road against the Saints was Norwich's third win in their last four Premier League matches and left them 15th in the table, six points clear of the relegation zone.
That followed a run of one win in 11 in all competitions - and the upturn in form has coincided with goalkeeper Declan Rudd coming into the first team for the last six matches.
"For the defenders and Declan as well, he's come into the team and got two clean sheets in a row now," said Tettey.
"For the whole team we are really pleased - where we are, if you're letting in goals you are going somewhere you don't want to be.
"And if you win and don't let in goals you are looking forward - that's what we all want." | Norwich City midfielder Alex Tettey has likened his winner against Southampton on Saturday to those scored by Manchester City's Yaya Toure. | 35220958 | [

The Alex, relegated from League One, enquired about the 18-year-old but were turned down immediately.
"I spoke to (United Under-21 coach) Warren Joyce last season about taking him," Collins told BBC Radio Stoke.
"They said he was needed in their 21s and a week later he makes his first-team debut and the rest is history."
Rashford's rise has been meteoric after he scored twice on his United debut in the Europa League against Midtjylland and repeated the feat in his first Premier League game against Arsenal before finishing the season with eight goals in 18 games.
Called into the senior England squad, he scored less than three minutes into his first international appearance against Australia and is now in France for Euro 2016.
"It shows you there are good players in these academies," Collins said.
"There are plenty of kids being produced but opportunity is the key - maybe some of the bigger clubs are missing a trick." | Crewe Alexandra made a bid to sign new Manchester United star Marcus Rashford on loan last season, assistant boss James Collins has revealed. | 36481363 | [

23-year-old Mawson arrived at the Liberty Stadium from Championship side Barnsley in August of 2016 and has performed well despite never playing in the first tier before joining the club.
Swansea face Everton needing to win as they fight Premier League relegation and Clement believes Mawson's fine form will help in them stay up.
"He can be very good," Clement said.
He continued: "He is so young and does not have a lot of experience at this level. You can see there is that rawness about him that really catches the eye, the next moment there is something he should not be doing.
"But he is at the age where he is developing. He has a lot of good attributes, physically, technically and tactically. So he can go on and do really well."
Mawson has struck up a promising partnership with fellow centre-half Federico Fernandez, much like his predecessor and club captain Ashley Williams.
After the departure of Williams to Everton in the summer, the Argentine international suffered a dip of form, but has worked well at the back with Mawson.
"He [Fernandez] has hit some really good form. He was very, very good against Manchester United in his defending," said Clement.
"He could do better with the ball at times, but he and Alfie are forming a nice partnership.
"Earlier in the season there were too many goals going in, but they have had a fair share of games now where they have only conceded one goal or kept a clean sheet so that is good."
With a late kick-off at the Liberty Stadium, the Swans know they could be as much as five points behind the side they are chasing, Hull, when they take to the pitch.

The activist, who says he was himself a victim of bullying, told BBC Newsnight that the dossier was given by Ben Howlett, now an MP, to Lord Feldman.
Lord Feldman insists he was not aware of any complaints before August 2015.
Two activists involved in producing the document say it named Mark Clarke.
Mr Clarke is the volunteer organiser at the heart of the bullying scandal which has bedevilled the party since September.
He has been accused of bullying, sexually harassing and planning to blackmail other activists - allegations he has robustly denied.
Patrick Sullivan, who runs a Conservative think tank, said hard copies of the 2010 dossier were handed to Lord Feldman and Tory co-chair Baroness Sayeeda Warsi.
His testimony appears to contradict the account of Lord Feldman, a close friend and political ally of the prime minister.
The Tory chairman has maintained consistently that he was "wholly unaware" of the allegations against Mr Clarke until August 2015.
Mr Sullivan told Newsnight that Mr Howlett, MP for Bath, had decided to tackle widespread bullying within the party's young activists after being elected to a second term as chair of Conservative Future, the party's youth wing, in 2010.
Mr Sullivan said: "He had a strong anti-bullying stance in the campaign because there had been a culture of bullying. As soon as he was elected Ben [Howlett] and myself helped compile a dossier and that dossier was given by Ben to Lord Feldman and Sayeeda Warsi."
He said that complaints had been made to the party about Mr Clarke's behaviour even before 2010 when Mr Clarke was removed from the party's list of approved candidates.
"The dossier is not the only thing," Mr Sullivan said. "There were complaints about Mark Clarke in 2008. So complaints about Mark Clarke had been something that Conservative Central Office have known about for a very long time."
Mr Sullivan said his own bullying at the hand of Mr Clarke seriously damaged his health: "I got depressed. I felt I couldn't leave my home. I felt isolated." He said Mr Howlett had also been a victim of Mr Clarke's bullying.
They assembled the dossier over the course of a week along with a third activist. It contained first person accounts from activists who had been bullied, alongside newspaper reports of bullying incidents which were already in the public domain.
Mr Sullivan says he first challenged the culture of bullying in the party in 2008 after an 18 year-old woman was "spectacularly" bullied in the run up to a Conservative Future election.
He said: "Mark Clarke had a preferred candidate and as a result he started bullying and intimidating people who were opposing that candidate. That was when I first realised how bad he was."
Mr Sullivan said he made a speech inside CCHQ attacking the bullying culture in front of Mr Clarke and others. "As a punishment for making that speech I was isolated like a pariah," he said.

Mr Howlett had previously told Newsnight that "Feldman has known about Clarke for a long time" but declined to discuss the contents of the dossier.
Two of the document's authors said it named Mr Clarke among a number of alleged bullies involved with the party's youth wing.
Mr Sullivan said Baroness Warsi had been "very vigilant in regard to bullying" but that tolerance of bullying had increased after she left Conservative Campaign Headquarters (CCHQ) in 2012.
The bullying scandal has gathered pace since a young activist, Elliott Johnson, took his own life in September. Elliott Johnson had previously complained to CCHQ that he had been bullied by Mr Clarke, and named Mr Clarke in a letter left to his parents.
Mr Clarke has denied all allegations of inappropriate behaviour. He has told Newsnight he was not aware of any "dossier" mentioning him in 2010.
On Tuesday night Elliott's father Ray told Newsnight: "If Lord Feldman and CCHQ were fully aware of allegations of bullying being made as long ago as five years and they didn't act upon it, then it just confirms my view that they really should have taken action against bullies in the first place and failed to do so."
"They failed to protect my son and they failed to protect many other young activists and they should stand up and take responsibility for it."
Former co-chairman Grant Shapps resigned last month as a development minister after it emerged that he had given Mr Clarke a formal role in CCHQ despite previous concerns about his behaviour.
However both Number 10 and the party have been determined to protect Lord Feldman who has been a member of the prime minister's inner circle since they met at Oxford.
Increasingly, however, Lord Feldman has come under pressure, both over his account of when he first became aware of allegations of bullying, and over whether he reacted appropriately to a slew of complaints received in August of this year.
Last week Newsnight revealed a former CCHQ worker submitted a memo to a senior party official in August claiming that Mr Clarke was "sociopathic" and "dangerous" and warning that there could be "devastating" consequences if he was not kept away from the party's youth wing.
Asked whether he believed Lord Feldman should have done more in response to the memo, Mr Sullivan said: "Yes I do, I think it was quite shocking that Mark Clarke was able to continue with his RoadTrip 2020 whilst this investigation was process."
Lord Feldman said on Tuesday night: "I was wholly unaware of allegations of bullying and inappropriate sexual conduct by Mr Clarke prior to August 2015. Such behaviour is abhorrent to me and had this been brought to my attention I would have taken immediate action to investigate, as I have done since I received the complaint in August 2015."

Barts Health NHS Trust was placed in special measures in March, but has faced further inspections by the Care Quality Commission.
It said "too little attention" was paid to safety and pointed out leadership failings at the organisation.
The trust said it was "very sorry" and that it was facing a "big challenge".
Barts Health NHS Trust is responsible for the care of around 2.5 million people.
It was placed into special measures when a culture of bullying and low morale was discovered among staff at one of the hospitals it runs, Whipps Cross in Leytonstone, east London.
Fresh concerns have now been raised at the Royal London Hospital and Newham University Hospital.
The CQC said patient safety was not given sufficient priority, staff were discouraged from raising their concerns amid a culture of blame.
It added that staffing was significantly below recommended levels and the hospitals were so full that patients were not always cared for on appropriate wards.
Some faced delays of more than 18 weeks from referral to treatment and some patients had their surgery cancelled on several occasions due to a lack of beds.
Prof Sir Mike Richards, the chief inspector of hospitals, said: "It is clear that the leadership issues we found at Whipps Cross were replicated at the other hospitals.
"There is still a lack of engagement with the staff, low morale, high levels of stress, even confusion among the workforce about who is in charge.
"Across the trust there is too little attention paid to safety, with failures in incident reporting and auditing, and in dealing with or learning from complaints.
"If the trust is to turn round then it must focus first on the culture and on the leadership issues so that it can effectively deal with all the individual concerns which we have identified on this inspection."
The CQC has identified 65 areas where the trust must make improvements.
Steve Ryan, the chief medical officer at Barts Health NHS Trust, said: "We are very sorry for the failings identified by the CQC in some of our services at Newham and the Royal London hospitals.
"We know we have a big challenge ahead but we are determined to rise to that challenge.
"We are already making rapid and dramatic improvements in key areas. We welcome the targeted help the special measures regime provides to support our improvement journey. All our hospitals will be part of the trust's improvement plan in response to special measures, ensuring a consistent approach to the provision and delivery of high quality care. We will work with each of our hospitals with the same level of urgency and commitment." | Services run by the biggest NHS trust, including two more of its hospitals, have been labelled "inadequate" by inspectors. | 32835512 | [

The debate, on Thursday, was discussing "serious and widespread failures" in Gloucestershire's children's service.
Cllr Shaun Parsons, chairman of the council, said members had been told the proceedings were being televised.
Two said they had been listening, one blamed medication, but the fourth admitted the meetings "drag a bit".
Mr Parsons said he believed the chairman's role is to make sure the meeting runs smoothly and efficiently but added it is not his place to "give councillors a nudge".
But the former MP for Stroud, Neil Carmichael disagreed. He said it was "wrong" that councillors fell asleep "during such an important meeting on such a critical subject".
"As chairman of the Commons Select Committee I felt it was very much my job to ensure that meetings were run briskly and that all those present were fully engaged throughout," the Conservative said.
Four councillors were spotted nodding off, including deputy leader, Conservative Ray Theodoulou who blamed his heart medication for making him "a little drowsy".
Fellow Tory Rob Bird said he may have "closed his eyes for a moment", while Liberal Democrat John Cordwell admitted he "might have nodded off very briefly". Both men insisted they were aware of the proceedings.
But Labour's Graham Morgan was more forthright though, stating: "Those meetings drag a bit and I'm 66."
Mr Parsons said although he had not seen the BBC film it was important to listen to what the councillors had said in mitigation.
"It was a very long day, people had been briefed quite considerably on the facts.
"But it's not a good appearance for people maybe to have been asleep or indeed nodding off... , it's most unfortunate." | The chairman of a meeting in which four councillors were filmed apparently dozing during has described their actions as "embarrassing". | 40455154 | [

The judges said Neurotribes: The Legacy of Autism and How to Think Smarter About People Who Think Differently was a "tour de force" of journalistic and scientific research.
It is the first popular science book to win the prize in its 17-year history.
The shortlist had included Jonathan Bate's Ted Hughes: The Unauthorised Life and Robert Macfarlane's Landmarks.
Historian Anne Applebaum, chair of the judges, praised Silberman's "compassionate journalism" and said he excelled at using stories and anecdotes to explain complex medical issues to a wide audience.
The American author, who is based in San Francisco, has been a science writer for Wired and other magazines such as the New Yorker, the MIT Technology Review, Nature and Salon for more than 20 years.
"We admired Silberman's work because it is powered by a strongly argued set of beliefs: that we should stop drawing sharp lines between what we assume to be 'normal' and 'abnormal', and that we should remember how much the differently-wired human brain has, can and will contribute to our world," Applebaum said.
"He has injected a hopeful note into a conversation that's normally dominated by despair."
Neurotribes, she added, was "a tour de force of archival, journalistic and scientific research, both deeply researched and widely accessible".
In its review of Silberman's book, The Guardian described Neurotribes as "a gripping narrative written with journalistic verve".

Mark Moogalian and five other passengers overpowered the suspect, Moroccan national Ayoub El-Khazzani.
Mr Moogalian was shot in the neck during the struggle on the high-speed train from Amsterdam to Paris.
The Legion d'honneur was given by President Francois Hollande at the Elysee Palace.
When a French passenger tried to enter a toilet on the train, he encountered the gunman and tried to overpower him.
Seeing the struggle, Mr Moogalian tried to intervene but was hit by a bullet.
Three other Americans - off-duty military servicemen Spencer Stone and Alek Skarlatos, and Anthony Sadler - then overpowered the attacker.
They also had the help of UK businessman Chris Norman.
The Americans and the Briton received the honour in August 2015.
French digital TV channel BFMTV reported last month (in French) that Ayoub El-Khazzani remained in custody in France, awaiting trial.
The Legion d'honneur was founded by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1802. The award is divided into five categories and the passengers received the chevalier, the most commonly awarded.
Francoise Rudetzki, former head of SOS Attentats, an association for victims of terrorism, was decorated with the Legion d'honneur at the same ceremony on Thursday. | A French-American man who helped stop a heavily armed gunman on a train in France in 2015 has received the country's highest honour. | 37447868 | [

The journalists are suspected of links to US-based cleric Fethullah Gulen, accused of plotting the coup, as well as Kurdish militants.
Cumhuriyet is Turkey's oldest secular paper.
At the weekend, 15 other media outlets were closed and 10,000 civil servants were dismissed.
Those targeted include academics, teachers, health workers, prison guards and forensics experts.
Critics have accused President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of using an emergency law imposed after the coup attempt to silence opponents. Since then, a total of about 110,000 people have been sacked or suspended and 37,000 arrested.
The government argues that Mr Gulen's network of followers is so vast that a wholesale purge is needed.
Cumhuriyet editor Murat Sabuncu and eight other newspaper staff were detained on Monday, including columnists Aydin Engin and Guray Oz, state news agency Anadolu reported,
Arrest warrants were also issued for other staff, including Cumhuriyet's previous editor Can Dundar, who resigned in August after being sentenced to five years in prison for revealing state secrets involving Turkey's operations in Syria. He fled Turkey when he was freed pending an appeal.
Turkey is currently under a state of emergency, imposed after the failed coup three months ago, in which more than 270 people died.
A few copies of Monday's edition had been left at the gates of Cumhuriyet's premises. The headline read simply: "Coup against opposition."
The story was about the suspension of thousands of civil servants and other laws introduced under emergency decrees. Only hours afterwards, the editor-in-chief and several writers were detained and arrest warrants issued for over a dozen of the paper's executives.
An investigation into Cumhuriyet executives was launched in August amid allegations that some of its reports had legitimised the coup attempt.
Cumhuriyet is one of the last few remaining opposition papers in Turkey. It was awarded the Freedom of the Press prize by Reporters Without Borders last year and received the Right Livelihood Award, known as the alternative Nobel Peace Prize.
Last week, 15 Kurdish and leftist newspapers were closed down under emergency laws. Now the opposition fears they might be silenced even further. | Turkish police have detained the editor and several writers of opposition newspaper Cumhuriyet amid a crackdown on media after the failed July coup. | 37820442 | [

Cardiff's Techniquest was already told it could lose the government cash by 2019 but it has now been given more time to make new plans.
The centre, which around £850,000 annually from ministers, said it needs to find new "revenue streams".
Funding worth about £450,000 for its sister but separate charity in Wrexham is also ending over the same period.
The 30-year-old Cardiff organisation has relied on Welsh Government funding for 40% of its income.
Since 1986, it has had more than five million visitors, including at least 1.5m school pupils on organised trips.
It moved from Cardiff city centre to Cardiff Bay in 1995.
A separate group runs a site at Wrexham's Glyndwr University campus, which opened in 2003.
Lesley Kirkpatrick, chief executive officer at Techniquest, said: "Last year, we were made aware that the core funding to Techniquest would reduce and eventually come to an end.
"Consequently we were expecting a funding cut next year and in subsequent years.
"Our core grant from the government will continue until 2021, allowing us time to explore other options, and we are extremely grateful for this.
"There are a number of plans being developed which will help us identify alternative revenue streams and secure the long-term sustainability of Techniquest."
Iwan Thomas, chairman of the board of the Wrexham Techniquest Glyndwr site, said: "We've already been proactive at looking at alternative funding streams.
"We are looking at extending our remit so it ties in with regional and cross-border economic opportunities and the needs of the STEM [Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics] agenda."
He said he did not think the site would close as a result of the funding cut, adding: "We are mature enough in Wrexham to look outside of the box".
The decision by Cabinet Secretary for Education Kirsty Williams comes after former education minister Huw Lewis said in January that Techniquest was "overly dependent on public funds".
"It's not a sustainable position," he had told AMs at the time.
It is understood that the grant will be reduced each year.
A Welsh Government spokesman said: "We are working closely with Techniquest and Techniquest Glyndŵr to support their move to a more sustainable financial position, without reliance on Welsh Government core grant funding.
"Both organisations have agreed to a five-year programme of support (from 2016-17) to help better manage the reduction in core funding and we will continue to work closely with them to explore any other funding opportunities in future." | Funding for two Techniquest science museums in Wales will end from April 2021, the Welsh Government has said. | 37234805 | [

The attacks on Monday and Tuesday took place in the villages of Debiro Hawul and Debiro Bi in Borno state.
Residents say the militants drove into the towns and began shooting, looting and burning houses.
In a separate attack, a young female suicide bomber reportedly killed at least 10 people in the neighbouring state of Yobe.
A witness said the girl, who detonated explosives in the town of Gujba on Tuesday, was about 12 years old.
The Islamist group has not commented on the attack but it is known for carrying out such bombings.
Earlier this year, the Nigerian army seized Gujba from the militant group Boko Haram.
Some 18,000 people have been killed in Nigeria since the group began a campaign of violence in 2009.
One resident who fled Debiro Hawul said that the attack had taken the village by surprise.
"It never occurred to us we would be the next target," Umaru Markus told the AFP news agency.
"The gunmen slaughtered 22 people who were not fast enough in fleeing and went about looting homes, grains silos and drug stores," he added.
Tuesday's attack in Gujba happened at about 11:00 local time (10:00 GMT).
"It was a suicide attack by a girl of around 12 years," said witness Hussaini Aisami.
"She went into the market and headed straight to the grain section. She detonated her explosives in the middle of traders and customers."
That attack came a day after two female suicide bombers attacked the north-eastern city of Maiduguri, killing at least 20 people.
And in January, at least 19 people were killed by a bomb strapped to a girl aged about 10 in Maiduguri.
Maiduguri is where Boko Haram first emerged, and the Nigerian military has recently begun moving its headquarters from the capital Abuja to the city.

Arvind Kejriwal and members of his cabinet spent the night in the open in the heart of the capital and are now conducting daily business on the road.
Police clashed with protesters who gathered to join on Tuesday.
His anti-corruption Aam Aadmi Party caused a shock with its strong performance in recent state elections.

India's Arvind Kejriwal's 'anarchic' politics
Correspondents say his actions have divided the public with some hailing this as a new form of democracy and public protest but others urging him to get off the streets in order to govern as he was elected to do.
Skirmishes have been reported as hundreds of policemen cordoned off the site of his demonstration and positioned water cannons on the road.
Traffic has been thrown into chaos and at least four metro stations have been shut down.
"Since yesterday no food or water has been allowed to enter the protest site. What message the central government wants to convey? Many people want to come but they are stopped through barricades," Mr Kejriwal told reporters.
By Sanjoy MajumderBBC News, Delhi
All the roads leading to the site of Arvind Kejriwal's protest are barricaded with hundreds of policemen keeping protesters at bay.
The supporters of the Aam Aadmi Party are distinctive in their white caps. Beyond the barricades, ringed by policemen, the Delhi chief minister and his cabinet are sitting in protest, just by the parliament and federal government buildings.
Shielded from the cold and rain by supporters, he takes time to speak to the media, sign government files and preside over a cabinet meeting. Security is extra-tight because India's annual Republic Day parade is just days away.
The anniversary showcases India's military might - even now soldiers in ceremonial uniforms are going through their paces just a short distance away.
Tension is rising because the streets around the venue have to be cleared for security reasons ahead of the parade. At the moment, though, they are full of protesters who show no sign of leaving.
"Police [are] carrying people selectively in to the bus and beating them up. Is this called democracy?"
Nevertheless, Mr Kejriwal and his cabinet ministers are continuing to conduct daily administrative business on the streets.
Mr Kejriwal took the helm as Delhi's chief minister last month on a ticket to fight corruption and conduct politics differently, calling his party a "new broom".
But he quickly became embroiled in a row over policing after one of his ministers accused officers of failing to crack down on an alleged drugs and prostitution ring - the police deny these claims.
Delhi's police force is run by the federal government and the impromptu protest began on Monday when Mr Kejriwal was prevented from going to the home minister's office to demand the suspension of several officers.
It started with an incident which threatened to become a diplomatic issue, pitching the Aam Aadmi Party, the police and members of Delhi's African community at loggerheads.
Last Wednesday Mr Kejriwal's Law Minister, Somnath Bharti, and various party supporters allegedly confronted four Ugandan women in a Delhi neighbourhood accusing them of prostitution.
A row erupted when police refused to search a nearby house for evidence of a suspected drugs and prostitution ring because they did not have a warrant.
Mr Bharti and Aam Aadmi Party supporters were accused of threatening and intimidating the women, forcing their way into homes and making racist remarks - they deny these allegations.
Indian Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde says a judicial inquiry into the role of the police has been ordered and Mr Kejriwal "should wait for its result" before protesting.
But Mr Kejriwal says his protest encompasses more grievances than just that case.
His party has also condemned the police for their handling of other cases, such as the recent alleged gang-rape of a Danish woman in Delhi and the case of a woman who was reportedly killed over a demand for dowry by her in-laws. | Delhi's chief minister has vowed to step up his virtually unprecedented street protest amid a row over who controls the city's police force. | 25822581 | [

The 85-year-old F1 supremo likened the sport to a rock concert at which the band turned up but could not perform.
"We are not putting on a very good show," he said, in the build-up to Sunday's Bahrain Grand Prix.
"Imagine if people turned up to watch the Rolling Stones and Mick (Jagger) couldn't sing and the others couldn't play their instruments."
In a wide-ranging interview with BBC Sport, Ecclestone also:
Last week, the drivers wrote an open letter saying the decision-making process in F1 is "obsolete and ill-structured".
Responding the following day, Ecclestone said he agreed with the drivers.
But he told BBC Sport he thought the drivers were saying "probably what their teams had told them to say".
Alex Wurz, the chairman of the Grand Prix Drivers' Association, was not immediately available to respond to Ecclestone's claims.
Ecclestone added the governance of F1 was "nothing to do with me".
On the issue of qualifying, Ecclestone blamed governing body the FIA for the new format, which was supposed to spice up race weekends.
It did the opposite at the season-opening race in Australia, prompting teams to call for a return to the 2015 system.
However, the move was blocked by FIA president Jean Todt.
Asked if the new qualifying system worked, Ecclestone said: "Depends how you looked at it. The whole idea is we were hoping one or two of the hot shoes would be in trouble in Q1 and Q2. It didn't happen."
He added the idea "wasn't mine at all" but the FIA's. However, he rejected calls for a return to the 2015 format because he felt that did not work well either.
There will be a meeting of team bosses on Sunday before the race in Bahrain to discuss the qualifying system again.
Ecclestone has said he would like to switch to a different system that either decides the grid by ballot or shuffles the order by adding "time ballast" to drivers' times based on either the result of the previous race or the championship order.
Ecclestone also discussed the new fuel-efficient turbo hybrid engines, arguing he would prefer a return to the naturally aspirated V8s in use until 2013.
"I said this engine would be a disaster and was criticised for that," he said, claiming the lack of noise meant F1 had lost some of its appeal.
He also claimed only one engine manufacturer - Mercedes - managed to adapt well to the new engines, which meant competition had suffered.
Mercedes have dominated F1 since the new engine came in, winning both the drivers' and constructors championships for the past two years.
"Mercedes have done an incredible job with that power unit," he said. "It is unbelievable. but it is not F1."
Asked what F1 should be like, he said: "Like it used to be. I didn't find anything wrong with the V8s and neither did anyone else." | Bernie Ecclestone says Formula 1 is "cheating" its fans because the quality of the show is poor. | 35943033 | [

Liam Laverick, 25, from Beeford Grove in Hull has pleaded not guilty to the manslaughter of his four-week old son, Tommy Lee.
The baby was taken to Hull Royal Infirmary on 23 September 2014 and died later at Leeds General Infirmary.
Tommy Lee had been left in the sole care of Mr Laverick when the baby became ill, Hull Crown Court heard.
Prosecutor Nicholas Lumley QC said in his opening statement Tommy Lee was left in the care of Mr Laverick at his flat on Linnaeus Street, Hull.
He also told the court Mr Laverick had killed his son by shaking or throwing him.
The jury was shown CCTV footage of Mr Laverick taking Tommy Lee to a relative's house to find the baby's mother, Kelly Whitworth, before the couple ran with the child to the nearby Hull Royal Infirmary.
Mr Laverick gave different accounts of what had happened, including saying that he had fallen over while carrying the child, the prosecution said.
A recording of Mr Laverick speaking to Tommy Lee's mother at a police station and made without their knowledge was also played in court.

No Windfarm at Gayton (NOWAG) and East Lindsey District Council both oppose the planning application.
The protest march on Sunday morning raised money for legal costs as well as highlighting the campaign.
The developers say wind turbines contribute to renewable energy targets and help combat climate change.
But campaigner Melvin Grosvenor, who is working with NOWAG, questioned how efficiently the turbines would generate energy.
"It's a huge price for Lincolnshire to pay to host a suspect technology," he said.
"The developers say we need renewable energy, but at what cost to the landscape?"
Earlier this year Lincolnshire County Council issued a statement advising district councils not to grant planning permission if wind farms fail to meet strict criteria.
The council's leader, Martin Hill, said he did not want Lincolnshire to be "covered by a forest of the things".
Mr Grosvenor said wind turbines have more of a visual impact in Lincolnshire because the landscape is relatively flat.
"The issue we've got with Lincolnshire is because it's predominantly big open skies there are few visual detractors, and of course you've got the Lincolnshire Wolds [an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty]," he said.
About 60 campaigners walked from near Theddlethorpe Church to Great Carlton, and many were sponsored.
They walked along a bridleway known as the Two Mile Bank, where the turbines would be erected.
The campaigners also flew a blimp at about 377ft (115m) to demonstrate the maximum height of the turbines.
There are already wind farms at Gayton le Marsh and Theddlethorpe, and Mr Grosvenor said the proposed turbines would "give the impression of a continuous line of turbines on the landscape."
The public inquiry is due to begin in January and the government will decide whether permission is granted or not.
Developer EnergieKontor said on its consultation website: "The UK is the windiest country in Europe and the deployment of wind farms could contribute significantly to renewable energy targets which aim to assist in combating climate change." | Campaigners fighting the erection of eight wind turbines in Lincolnshire have taken part in a protest march ahead of a public inquiry. | 19862265 | [

The 42-year-old had regained the lead from Frenchman Armel Le Cléac'h, but was second as he passed the halfway mark just off New Zealand's south island.
Thomson's next milestone is to turn north at Cape Horn as he heads towards the finish port of Les Sables d'Olonne.
Gosport-based Thomson is aiming to be the first Briton to win the race.

"There are a few hectic days to come and I will certainly be approaching them with caution to make sure that I keep Hugo Boss (Thomson's boat) in one piece," he said.
"It's over 1000 miles behind me to third place, so at least I have some breathing space behind so I can worry about looking forwards, which I think is really important". | Welsh sailor Alex Thomson has passed the halfway point of the solo non-stop round-the-world race, the Vendee Globe. | 38257719 | [

Woking council will hold a public meeting on Tuesday in response to a petition in June, when 478 residents asked it to look again at the plans.
The council said the meeting, with an independent chairman, was open to all.
Amanda Mahoney, from the Sheerwater Residents Committee, said people wanted to feel listened to.
She said residents wanted a new plan to be drawn up because not all the area marked in the current proposals needed demolishing.
Ms Mahoney said the plans had caused "great distress on so many levels".
Very few people would come out of the scheme positively because home owners would be unable to afford to re-buy, and council tenants would face temporary accommodation and a possible 40% rent increase, she added.
The estate was originally built after World War Two, to house families that relocated from London.
The council has said existing properties in the regeneration area, which includes 598 properties, will need to be demolished under the scheme.
All affected residents had been offered one-to-one meetings, the council has said.
It said Woking was in the top 10% of least deprived areas in the country but Sheerwater came within the 14% most deprived areas which made it a priority for change, and with investment it could become "a more vibrant community".
The authority said regeneration would bring new housing for current and future residents, with a retail centre, leisure centre, sports facilities, park, public square, community facilities and better transport links.
The council said it would comment further after the meeting. | Residents fighting the demolition of their homes as part of regeneration of the Sheerwater estate in Surrey claim they have not been consulted. | 29078872 | [

An Adventure in Space and Time, written by Mark Gatiss, will tell the story of the formation of the sci-fi drama in the early 1960s.
The actor, best-known for his role as caretaker Filch in the Harry Potter films, gave a "wonderfully touching and subtle performance" said Gatiss.
The one-off drama will be shown as part of Doctor Who's 50th anniversary.
Bradley said he was "absolutely thrilled" to be offered the role by Gatiss after starring in a 2012 episode, Dinosaurs on a Spaceship.
"When he asked if I would interested, I almost bit his hand off!" Bradley said earlier this year.
Scottish actor Brian Cox, will appear alongside Bradley as BBC Head of Drama, Sydney Newman, who was credited with the creation of the show.
Doctor Who was first broadcast on 23 November 1963, with a four-part adventure known as An Unearthly Child.
Hartnell, who died in 1975, starred in the series from 1963 to 1966 before being replaced by Patrick Troughton.
An Adventure in Space and Time is one of a number of programmes that will mark Doctor Who's half-centenary later this year. | A new picture of actor David Bradley as the first Doctor, William Hartnell, has been released by the BBC. | 23267085 | [

Horror stories have been handed down the generations about the mysterious site, known as Deadman's Island, so the BBC's Inside Out South East programme took a boat across to investigate whether any of the rumours were true.
Lots of people have since been talking about it on social media sites.
Here are the answers to six things you wanted to know.
1. Where is Deadman's Island and who owns it?
It lies at the mouth of The Swale, opposite the town of Queenborough on the Isle of Sheppey, off the north Kent coast.
The uninhabited mudbank is owned by Natural England, who lease it to two people.
The wetland site is protected land, and is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and recognised to be of international importance under the Ramsar convention.
It is also an important bird breeding and nesting site.
2. Can anyone visit?
No, the island is completely out of bounds to the public.
The Inside Out team was only allowed to visit after receiving permission from the leaseholder and because it was not the bird breeding season.
3. Who were the people buried there?
The remains are believed to be those of men and boys who died of contagious diseases on board floating prisons, known as prison hulks, which were moored off the Isle of Sheppey more than 200 years ago.
They were buried in unmarked coffins in six feet of mud.
4. Why are their remains being exposed?
Rising sea levels and coastal erosion over the years have begun to slowly wash away their final resting place, leaving wooden coffins and skeletal remains sticking out of the mud.
They are only visible when the tide is out.
5. Will the bodies be reburied?
The remains are being washed out into the sea, and would be difficult to re-bury.
Coincidentally, during the Napoleonic wars, many French prisoners of war were held around the coast at Chatham, with those who died buried on the nearby marshes.
When erosion started to reveal the bodies, they were exhumed and reburied on St Mary's Island.
When the land was later needed for redevelopment, they were disinterred again and reburied at St George's Church, now the St George's Centre, at Chatham Maritime.
6. Have archaeologists visited the island?
Kent archaeologist Dr Paul Wilkinson was taken to the island by Inside Out, and confirmed the bones were human remains.
It is not known if any archaeologists have surveyed the area as nothing has been made public.
You can see the full story on Inside Out, on BBC One South East and London on Monday 30 January at 19:30 GMT, and later on the BBC iPlayer. | The remains of dozens of people who were buried more than 200 years ago are being slowly exposed on an island in Kent. | 38797543 | [

Around one in four births in the UK is by C-section, while in Cyprus the figure is 52% and in Sweden 17%.
The study of 26 European countries, published in the journal BJOG, said more research was needed to find out why the differences existed.
The Royal College of Midwives said health systems had a role to play.
The study, led by researchers at City University London said that Caesarean section rates in most EU countries have shown "a continuous rise", although in a few countries there are signs they are flattening out.
It said there could be several possible explanations for this - "including a fear of litigation, financial incentives, women's requests for Caesarean section and the perception that Caesarean section is a safe procedure".
The study also said there were consequences to the rise, which included potential raised risks for mothers and babies - such as stillbirth - in future pregnancies.
Caesareans are more likely when babies are born to first-time mothers, when women have multiple births or when the woman in question has already had a Caesarean.
However, there is continuing debate, the study said, about the use of Caesarean section for babies who are breech (feet first), for multiple births and women who have had a C-section already.
In the study, the highest rate of Caesarean sections planned before labour started was in Cyprus at 38.8% and in Italy at 25%.
The lowest rates were found in Finland (6.6%), the Netherlands (7.7%) and Norway (6.6%).
In the UK, planned Caesarean rates are 9% in England, 11% in Wales and Scotland and 14.6% in Northern Ireland.
Emergency C-section rates were highest in Romania at 33% and lowest in Sweden at 8.6%.
In all four countries of the UK, emergency rates are around 15%.
Prof Alison Macfarlane, professor of perinatal health at City University London, said: "Given that people are supposed to be practising according to evidence, it is surprising there are such wide variations between countries.
"We need a comparative review of national policies and guidelines and further research to ensure that clinical practice is based on evidence."
She said it was important that the health of mothers and children was also prioritised.
Gail Johnson, professional advisor for education and research at the Royal College of Midwives, said the disparities were likely to be due to differences in health service models and the overall health of different populations.
She said the percentage of women giving birth by Caesarean in the UK was still "a bit too high".
"A Caesarean is an emergency procedure, done when a normal birth isn't going to work.
"It's not a lifestyle choice, and although it's a safe operation, it does carry more risks than a vaginal birth." | There are wide variations in Caesarean section rates across Europe, indicating a lack of consensus about the best way of delivering babies, a study suggests. | 31766715 | [

The plastic moulded figures, rebranded from the US GI Joe version, made their debut in the UK at the British Toy Fair in Brighton, in January 1966, after a toy executive realised their market potential.
The early toys were imports but Palitoy, based in Coalville, Leicestershire, would go on to make its own version with "lifelike hair", "beards" and "gripping hands" in the early 1970s.
According to Rob Burman, editor of the Collectors Gazette, Palitoy bosses gave strict instructions not to call them "dolls" as boys could be put off.
They were hugely popular, with sales topping 20 million by the end of the 1970s.
Modifications kept the toys fresh and collectable, for example "eagle eyes" were introduced in 1976 by Hasbro, the US makers, and Palitoy brought in "flocked" hair and non-military costumes such as football kits.
However, despite a loyal band of collectors, the success did not last into the 1980s.
"The 60s and 70s were the big times for Action Man and then Star Wars came along," said Mr Burman.
"Everyone wanted intergalactic characters, they weren't bothered about poor old Action Man."
The toy expert said the figure made a bit of a comeback in the 1990s but nowadays people are generally more "politically correct" and so there is little interest in soldier toys.
However, there is still a thirst for the old outfits - a boxed judo costume recently sold for ??6,000 at auction.
Chris Malbon, 58, from Nottingham, who runs Warwickshire-based Metropolis Toys, had at one time one of the most "comprehensive" Action Man collections in the UK.
He started collecting in 1989 and spent thousands on his acquisitions, which he admits got a "bit out of hand", and he later he sold them all for a "substantial" fee.
"I collected the entire range," said the trader. "Both boxed and loose, together with US, French, German, Spanish, Japanese variations. I guess around 200 figures."
However, it all became a bit of a burden.
He said: "It's not because of the money... you end up wanting that elusive item or upgrading what you have to the exclusion of other things."
Mr Malbon, a former soldier himself, did not want to say what he sold his collection for but said it was as much as he paid for his house in the 1990s.
Palitoy's former chief toy designer Bob Brechin, who modelled Action Man's gripping hands on his own, said the toy has endured.
"It's hard to believe it has been 50 years," he said.
"He's timeless, universal, we never gave Action Man a story, we just gave children [the figures] and the outfits you dress him in and left it to their imaginations."
Hasbro has announced it is releasing a set of vintage figures as part of the anniversary celebrations.

It said a forensic examination of the scene took place and a "a number of knives" were recovered.
A post-mortem examination on Friday gave the provisional cause of death as a gunshot wound to the chest, the IPCC said.
Mr Pitt was described by Bedfordshire Police as white and British.
He was initially treated at the scene by officers and paramedics but died at hospital at 14:50 GMT.
IPCC Commissioner Mary Cunneen said: "My thoughts and sympathies are with the family and friends of Josh and all of those affected by this fatal shooting.
"Our investigation will look at the circumstances surrounding the incident and the actions of the officers involved.
"We have spoken to Josh's next of kin to inform them of our role and will be keeping them updated.
"I ask anybody who may have seen or heard anything in the Hibbert Street area on Wednesday afternoon, which may be useful to our investigation, to contact us." | A "number of knives" were found at the scene where a man was shot by police, investigators have said. | 37980103 | [

The firm, which makes a vast array of consumer products including Ben & Jerry's ice-cream, Lipton tea and Dove soap, said sales fell 2.7% to €48.4bn ($56.1bn; £37.1bn).
Excluding the effect of acquisitions and unfavourable exchange rates, underlying sales rose 2.9%,
Analysts had expected a 3.1% rise.
Despite the weaker-than-expected sales, Unilever reported a 7% rise in pre-tax profit to €7.6bn for the full year.
Unilever chief executive Paul Polman said it had been a "challenging year for our industry", and warned he did not expect a "significant improvement" in market conditions in 2015.
"We expect our full-year performance to be similar to 2014 with the first quarter being softer but growth improving during the year".
Unilever said underlying sales growth in emerging markets, where it makes more than half its sales, slowed to 5.7%.
The firm has been hit hard by a combination of slowing growth in China, a recession in Brazil as well as western sanctions on Russia.
Unilever cut 1,400 jobs last year and Mr Polman said due to the "low growth environment" it would continue to cut costs and simplify the business.
The firm has recently sold a number of its products, including its Slim-Fast brand and Ragu and Bertolli pasta sauces. | Consumer goods giant Unilever has reported lower-than-expected full-year sales after demand for its products in emerging markets continued to slow. | 30893574 | [

L/Cpl Kyle Cleet Marshall, of the 2nd Battalion The Parachute Regiment, died after being caught in a roadside bomb blast in the Nahr-e Saraj district of Helmand province.
The 23-year-old, from Newcastle upon Tyne, had been due to marry his fiancee, Hayley, in July.
The UK death toll since operations began in Afghanistan in 2001 is 357.
Lt Col Andrew Harrison, commanding officer of the 2nd Battalion The Parachute Regiment, said: "He died as he lived, at the front, guiding his men, surrounded by friends and at the very tip of the battalion spear."
He said that, shortly before his death, L/Cpl Marshall had led his team in the discovery of a huge bomb-making factory, where 35 devices were found.
"This discovery will undoubtedly save numerous colleagues and locals falling prey to the most insidious of insurgent threats.
"His friends have lost the closest of mates and the most able of colleagues. The battalion has lost a stunning young leader and a bright hope for the future," he said.
Describing him as a "charismatic, upbeat Geordie," his commander said he was "ice-cool under fire and a natural leader always".
Lt Col Harrison added: "He mentored, coaxed and taught his soldiers with consummate passion and consistent diligence. He was ever-optimistic, even in the bleakest of circumstances, and could charm all he met. He is irreplaceable."
L/Cpl leaves his father, Garry, mother, Olywn, and fiancee, Hayley, whom he was due to marry after the tour.
His family said in a statement: "Kyle was a very lively, outgoing, loving and much-loved son."
The MoD said L/Cpl Marshall was a keen footballer, a passionate Newcastle United supporter, and had played to county level in his youth. | A soldier killed in a blast in southern Afghanistan on Monday has been named by the Ministry of Defence. | 12481833 | [

The channel's signed a deal with 20th Century Fox to show new episodes of Family Guy from later this year.
The agreement also includes other Seth MacFarlane animated comedies American Dad, The Cleveland Show and new series Bordertown.
Family Guy has been a major part of the BBC Three schedule since 2006, becoming one of the channel's highest rating shows.
But it's not the last we'll see of the Griffins on the BBC as the corporation has one more new series to show - the one currently being broadcast in the States.
The BBC also still has rights to repeat episodes from previous series - for the moment.
The BBC says Family Guy will be on the BBC for "at least the next two years".
There's been discussion over what would happen to the offbeat comedy, given plans to move BBC Three online.
More than 270,000 people have signed a petition against the move.
The BBC said: "We are incredibly proud that the BBC has successfully aired Family Guy for the past nine years and built the series into such a hit in the UK.
"However, when a show becomes so successful it often becomes a target for other broadcasters.
"We are sorry that it will not have a long term home on the BBC."

British Transport Police said the 15-year-old was attacked by a man and woman in their 40s.
The incident happened at Patterton station at about 23:30 on Saturday 3 October.
The teenager was punched from behind and stamped on as he lay on the ground, suffering facial injuries, including an injury to his eye.
He did not require hospital treatment.
His mobile phone was also stolen.
The boy had been with a group of friends on the 23:05 service between Glasgow Central and Neilston.
Det Con Ryan Tierney, of British Transport Police, said: "This would have been a busy service and I am aware there was an altercation between the group of younger boys and a group of older people shortly before the assault took place at Patterton.
"Anyone who was on the train and has information regarding those involved who remained on until it arrived at Neilston at 23:40 is urged to get in touch as a matter of urgency." | A teenager was assaulted and robbed as he got off a train in East Renfrewshire. | 34453507 | [

The call comes after the RCN collected scores of anecdotes of therapy-animals, and sometimes pets, helping recovery.
Some young patients found having trained dogs accompany them to the anaesthetic room reduced their anxiety before and after surgery.
The RCN is working on national advice to encourage more animal visitors.
In a recent RCN survey of 750 nursing staff, 82% said animals could help patients be more physically active and 60% said they believed animals improved physical recovery.
But many nurses said animals were not allowed where they worked.
The main reasons behind this, according to Amanda Cheesley, who is putting together nationwide guidelines on animals in hospitals, are concerns that furry companions spread infections and other "myths around the dangers" of allowing animals on wards.
But she says she knows of examples where hospitals allowed dogs and other animals on wards safely, making a "remarkable difference."
She mentioned one young cancer patient who was too scared to have a life-saving procedure in theatre.
The patient finally had the treatment she needed after a therapy dog accompanied her to the anaesthetic room and stayed with her afterwards.
Ms Cheesley said: "The dog calmed her down, making it so much less traumatic for her and her parents. Ultimately it allowed the staff to do a life-saving job."
Another example involved a man who had had a brain injury that left him with difficulty walking.
After he was discharged, he found going for a walk with his pet donkey helped with his balance and, over time, he was able to walk more easily.
Ms Cheesley says more trained animals could help with mobility and physiotherapy - for example, by asking patients to walk towards a dog at the end of a walkway and gradually increasing the distance.
Dogs could also help divert a patient's attention - for example, if a child is scared of needles, a therapy dog could act as a distraction.
To collect more evidence on the benefits and challenges of bringing animals on to wards, dog handler Lyndsey Uglow who has worked with therapy-animals in hospitals for five years, has started a research project at Southampton Children's Hospital.
Together with Ms Uglow, the Humanimal Trust, infection control specialists and hospital managers, the RCN aims to put together simple rules that could work across wards, clinics and hospices.
Concerns that pets might pass on infections for example, could be addressed by making sure animals do not wander from room to room or patient to patient, but are instead booked for a specific patient at a specific time.
Owners would also have to ensure the animal's vaccinations were up-to-date.
And handlers could clean paws with hospital-grade wipes. | Hospitals should let more dogs and other animals on to wards and even into operating theatres to help patients, the Royal College of Nursing says. | 40346539 | [

It was discovered by a passing police patrol near Holy Cross Boys' Primary School in Ardoyne in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Ch Supt Chris Noble said the device was "sizeable" and an attempt by dissident republicans to kill police officers.
He said the lives of the local community had also been put at risk.
"There's no doubt that device was there to try and kill community police officers on the beat in their local area but also it was left in such a reckless manner and in such a reckless location that it would undoubtedly have led to the death or serious injury of a member of the public had it exploded anywhere near them," he said.
"This is an attempt, we believe, by violent dissident republicans to kill police officers but it was also very much an "anti-community act" as well, in terms of where it was located and the way in which it was left."
About 20 residents had to leave their homes during the security operation and were given shelter in a nearby community centre.
The senior officer said they included "very distressed young children" as well as elderly residents and people with "significant disabilities".
They have since been allowed to return home.
Northern Ireland Secretary of State, James Brokenshire, said: "I am sickened by this incident with dissident republican terrorists placing a bomb close to a primary school in north Belfast.
"This shows their wanton disregard for human life, potentially putting children in danger.
"The consequences could have been utterly devastating and it shows them for what they really are."
North Belfast MP, Nigel Dodds of the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) said: "Those who constructed and planted this device clearly have no regard for any human life.
"Such a device could have caused devastation and we must all pay tribute to the work of those who have made the scene safe."
The Sinn Féin North Belfast MLA, Gerry Kelly, also condemned those who had left the bomb in the area.
"Those who are involved in this need to get off the people's backs and they need to go away," he said.
"The message is as simple and straightforward as that, we could have been dealing with death here, thankfully, we're not."
SDLP councillor Paul McCusker said the incident had caused distress to those living in the area.
"In total there were over 20 homes evacuated," he said.
"One young girl, a six-year-old, you could see the fear when you were speaking to her and she said [was] woken up by her mum and had to leave the house.
"She told me she actually thought she was dreaming and her and her mum were very frightened."
The chair of the Policing Board, Anne Connolly, urged witnesses to help detectives track down those responsible.
'Leaving an explosive device in the heart of the community shows the recklessness of those responsible as anyone could have been caught up in this," she said.
"I'm grateful that the device was found and the attempt to harm our police officers thwarted."
The school's vice-principal, Chris Donnelly, said: "There was a device that had been left at the entrance to the school which is obviously very disconcerting for people who had to be taken from their beds and moved."
He added that a lot of young people gather in the area in the evening.

Bristol Sport Ltd, which owns the football club, wants to replace two stands to increase capacity.
The plan is an alternative to proposals to build a new stadium at nearby Ashton Vale, which has been delayed by an application for a town green.
Majority shareholder Steve Lansdown confirmed the club would begin work at a shareholder meeting on Tuesday.
The work was approved by Bristol City Council in November.
Mr Lansdown told the club's official website: "We'll sign the section 106 agreement any day now, and then we have six weeks to wait for the judicial review period.
"We wanted to give some certainty to supporters, so if we get through to March with no judicial review, then we will be going ahead with the redevelopment plans, starting in May." | A £40m revamp of Bristol City's Ashton Gate ground will go ahead this summer, the club has announced. | 25840979 | [

The Bishop of Cork, Dr Paul Colton, is thought to be the first Church of Ireland bishop to make such a statement.
Last month, the Assembly rejected a motion calling for the introduction of same-sex marriage in Northern Ireland.
Dr Colton also said he hoped the church would one day recognise same-sex marriages in religious ceremonies.
He told BBC Radio Ulster's Sunday Sequence programme that it was a very "divisive" debate.
"The events in society are moving very rapidly and the church is not at all up to pace with the debate," he said.
"I certainly support civil same sex marriage.
"I also recognise that the church of Ireland's definition of marriage is for itself and I adhere to that discipline... but that is not to say that everyone must be required to take the church of Ireland's view of marriage.
"Having said that I'm also among those in the church, and perhaps we're only a minority, albeit a significant one that long to see the day when we can have a discussion - as we've had discussions over the years on all sorts of other issues about the nature of marriage - with a view, ultimately, at least to the blessing of same sex couples following civil unions if not to their marriage in church as is happening in other parts of the Anglican communion."
The Church of Ireland's LGBT affirming group, Changing Attitude Ireland, welcomed the comments.
Chairman Dr Richard O'Leary said: "The bishop's acknowledgement of the hurt that the church has inflicted on its gay and lesbian members is greatly appreciated especially as it comes on the day we are holding services to mark the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia (IDAHOT)".
Last month, Stormont rejected same-sex marriage for the third time in 18 months.
Northern Ireland is now the only part of the UK which has not passed a law to introduce same-sex marriage.
The first gay marriages have recently taken place in England and Wales, with Scotland due to follow later this year
Ahead of the assembly motion, the Church of Ireland restated its position on same-sex marriage, repeating what was affirmed at its general synod in 2012.
"The Church of Ireland affirms, according to our Lord's teaching, that marriage is in its purpose a union permanent and life-long, for better or worse, till death do them part, of one man with one woman, to the exclusion of all others on either side. The Church of Ireland recognises for itself and of itself, no other understanding of marriage," it said.
Catholic bishops in Northern Ireland wrote an open letter to all MLAs urging them to reject the motion.
The letter said the motion undermined the principle of equality by applying it "inappropriately". | A Church of Ireland Bishop has voiced his support for the introduction of civil marriage for same-sex couples. | 27460784 | [

Conservative MP Fiona Bruce, who spearheaded the move, said the law was being "interpreted in different ways".
But her proposal was defeated by 292 to 201. A review of the extent of sex selective abortion was agreed to.
The government said it had been consistently clear that sex selective abortion was "already illegal".
Health Minister Jane Ellison new guidance had been issued by the Department for Health last May, which independent sectors had to comply with.
Ms Bruce had received support from more than 100 MPs prior to the debate.
Her amendment would not have changed the law, but sought to update 1967 legislation that was drafted before it was possible to identify the sex of a foetus.
An alternative amendment, providing for a review of the extent of gender selection abortion in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, was backed by 491 to 2.
Making the case for the change, the Congleton MP said her amendment would "clarify beyond doubt in statute that sex selective abortion is illegal in UK law".
And it would provide the government with an opportunity to address the "problem", such as by bringing forward best practice regulations and guidance, she added.
"Why is this new clause necessary? It is necessary because there is no explicit statement about gender selective abortion in UK law.
"The law is being interpreted in different ways because when the 1967 Abortion Act was passed, scans to determine the sex of the foetus were not available," she told MPs.
Ms Bruce insisted it would not criminalise any pregnant women because it applied only to doctors authorising an abortion.
And she rejected as "totally incorrect" the assertion that her proposal would block abortions based on a gender-linked disability.
Fellow Conservative David Burrowes lent his support to the amendment, telling MPs the law "does not expressly prohibit gender-selective abortions".
And the DUP's Jim Shannon, MP for Strangford, also endorsed the move, rejecting any assertions it would criminalise women. It would be doctors that were held to account, he said.
But Dr Sarah Wollaston, chairwoman of the Health Select Committee, was firmly opposed to the proposal, saying the amendment was "unnecessary" and could have "unintended consequences".
It could prevent women confiding in their doctor that they "feel under pressure" to abort their child because of its gender, as they may fear they will be criminalised, she told MPs.
Ms Wollaston said there was no evidence of a "systematic practice" of sex selective abortion in the UK, and warned against stigmatising communities by implying it was a widespread practice.
And the MP warned that the wording of the proposed clause would have implications for existing abortion laws, as it would "confer personhood on the foetus".
This point was echoed by Labour shadow health minister Luciana Berger, who said Ms Bruce's proposal would not address the causes of sex selective abortion.
She supported instead a separate amendment to require a review of the evidence of abortion on the grounds of sex in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
For the government, Health Minister Jane Ellison said gender-based abortion was "abhorrent" but stressed that it was already illegal in the UK.
"The government has been consistently clear that abortion on the grounds of gender alone is already illegal.
"The Department of Health repeated this in guidance issued in May 2014 and it is important to stress that all independent sector providers have agreed to comply with and operate on the department's guidance and must do so as part of their licensing conditions," she said. | MPs have defeated a cross-party bid to clarify in law that abortion on the grounds of gender alone is illegal in the UK. | 31596968 | [

Saints had the better of a scrappy first-half, after Jonny Lomax crossed on the back of penalty goals apiece for both sides.
Leeds pulled clear when Adam Cuthbertson added to Ryan Hall's score.
Danny Richardson's try kept Saints hopes alive but Leeds held on and are now three points clear of third-placed Hull FC in the Super League table.
The defeat leaves Saints a point behind Wakefield, who are fourth with four Super 8s games to play.
Leeds cannot catch Castleford Tigers at the top, but are in the box seat for the second home semi-final come the top four play-offs.
Headingley's impending redevelopment meant this game was to be the last for the 86-year-old roofed terrace, and it added an emotional tinge to a match that held huge significance to the race for Old Trafford.
Unfortunately the pre-match festivities failed to transfer to the field, as neither side found their rhythm in a game high on drama but lacking in quality.
Saints' best moment of the first half produced the game's first try when Lomax latched on to Zeb Taia's pass after James Roby put the back-rower into space.
The hosts were equally disjointed but gave the crowd some cheer when a smart move to the left was finished off by Ryan Hall on his 300th club appearance.
Cuthbertson bashed his way across on the back of Leeds pressure but it was never comfortable until the hooter, particularly when the lively Richardson came off the bench to step his way across the stripe with five minutes to go.
Leeds Rhinos head coach Brian McDermott:
"I thought we were extremely good, I've never not been proud of out players although I don't say it too much. I'm proud to be their coach tonight.
"I don't know where we go the second half from, Saints were great, beating us off the deck in the first half and we never got to grips with their play-the-balls.
"We rolled up our sleeves and did some hard work, we should have executed better. It was a great game of rugby league."
St Helens head coach Justin Holbrook:
"I couldn't be prouder of my team. Unfortunately that's two weeks in a row we've been beaten by two points.
"I don't think we played poorly. We didn't have much ball in the second half, we were camped in our own half, but we got within two points away from home against a very tough side.
"We just couldn't get going for one reason or another in the second half but full credit to Leeds, they played very well."

Last month he became the first player to speak publicly about being sexually abused as a boy at Crewe in the 1980s.
There are now 155 suspects in the UK-wide football child abuse scandal.
Woodward said he gave police further information five weeks ago, but has "still not provided statements despite my continual requests to do so".
On Twitter he wrote: "People should know I suffered more than one abuser.
"I've now been waiting five weeks to provide my statement with the police, for further abuse on me.
"I've not mentioned it before now but it hurts. I need to let go of that pain, yet still waiting."
He later told BBC Sport that police had now said they would visit him next week - but called the delay "shocking".
Police say there are now 429 potential victims linked to football, some as young as four at the time of the alleged offence, and 148 clubs are now involved.
Woodward, who is also a former police officer, has launched an independent trust to help other abuse victims "fight for justice".
The National Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC) set up Operation Hydrant to oversee investigations of "non-recent" child sex abuse within institutions or by people of public prominence.
The spotlight has fallen on abuse in football since a a number of former footballers came forward publicly to tell their stories, and the number of suspects has almost doubled in a fortnight.
In a statement on Wednesday, Chief Constable Simon Bailey, the NPCC lead on child abuse, said allegations received by police across the country "were being swiftly acted upon", but acknowledged that a "higher than usual" volume of calls was causing delays.
The latest figures from the NPCC, released on Wednesday, show there have been 819 referrals from police forces and a special helpline set up for victims of abuse in football.
Chief Constable Bailey, said: "The numbers keep growing. We are dealing with some of the most complex investigations you can imagine.
"We are dealing with incredibly sensitive matters, sometimes in very high profile cases and of course all those factors create a huge challenge for the service."
The official overall Operation Hydrant statistics show there were 3,469 suspects of historical child abuse under investigation as of December 2016. This compares with 1,433 in May 2015.
Among the overall statistics for child sex abuse there are 366 people of public prominence - including 162 from TV, film or radio - under investigation.
There were 3,531 people classed as victims, of which 2,604 (74%) were male and 899 (25%) were female. A further 28 victims were of unknown sex.
In November 2016 there were 26 sports institutions under investigation. That figure has since increased to 74.
Mr Bailey urged victims of child sexual abuse to report it by dialling 101 or contacting the dedicated NSPCC helpline for those abused in football, "regardless of how long ago the abuse may have taken place". | Ex-footballer Andy Woodward says it is "shocking" he is still waiting to give police information about the alleged sexual abuse he suffered as a junior. | 38399324 | [

The jury ruled that neither sheriff's officials nor jailers committed a crime in their treatment of Bland.
It has not yet been determined whether the police officer who arrested her should face charges, a prosecutor said.
The 28-year-old African-American was arrested after a confrontation with a policeman who had pulled her car over. She was found dead three days later.
In recent years, the deaths of black Americans in police custody have caused much debate and protests in the US.
Police say that Ms Bland hanged herself while being held in the Waller County jail.
The family have denied that she was suicidal and have accused the jail of being "reckless" in disregarding her safety and failing to keep her free from harm.
The Waller County grand jury would return in January to consider whether to indict police officer Brian Encinia, who arrested Ms Bland in July, prosecutor Darrell Jordan said.
A video of the arrest shows Mr Encinia giving Ms Bland a warning. The situation quickly escalates, with Mr Encinia appearing to threaten Ms Bland after she refuses to get out of her car.
He unsuccessfully tries to pull her out and tells her "I will light you up".
Ms Bland's family has alleged Mr Encinia falsified an assault allegation to take her into custody.
An attorney representing Ms Bland's family, Cannon Lambert, said on Monday that the grand jury's decision was consistent with what the family believed was an attempt by authorities to cover up the events surrounding Ms Bland's death.
"They continue to do things we are disappointed in," he said.
Ms Bland's sister Shante Needham has said Sandra had called her from jail, saying she did not know why she had been arrested and that an officer had possibly broken her arm.
Ms Bland died by asphyxiation after using a plastic bag to hang herself in her cell, according to Waller County District Attorney Elton Mathias.
Video footage from the jail did not show what happened inside Ms Bland's cell, but did suggest no-one entered or left it until someone found her unconscious.
Mr Mathis has said there is nothing in that investigation "that shows anything happened but she killed herself". | A grand jury has decided not to indict anyone in the case of Sandra Bland, who died in a Texas jail earlier this year. | 35160223 | [

His form is improving, he said. His game is coming together. Been coming for a while now, he stressed. Thursday was the confirmation of it; two under par in testing conditions in the first round of the Scottish Open. First page of the leaderboard. Nice.
The fact that McDowell shot 80 in the opening round in France last week - and then missed the cut - mattered not a jot. The fact that he's failed to make the weekend in 50% of the tournaments he's played in this year in his adopted home in America didn't soften his confidence. The Northern Irishman was upbeat.
He called his season "really weird". You hear this a lot, this massaging of an ugly bottom line. 'I'm playing better than I'm scoring'. That's another mantra. 'I'm not far away, I can feel it clicking. Any week now, I promise. Any week now...'
With McDowell the tendency is to accept what he's saying. He's only had two top 10 finishes in 2016 and is some distance out of the Ryder Cup reckoning, but you'll struggle to find somebody on tour who thinks he won't be at Hazeltine in September, one way or another.
McDowell is not the only go-to Ryder Cup man of the past on the outside looking in at present. Lee Westwood would have to rely on a captain's pick if the team was settled tomorrow. So would Martin Kaymer. Ian Poulter is out injured.
Others from two years ago are badly out of form. Of the 12 who won the Cup at Gleneagles, only four are in the team right now - Rory McIlroy, Henrik Stenson, Sergio Garcia and Justin Rose.
All of this can change, of course, but these are interesting times in the race for the Ryder Cup nonetheless. The cavalry you see coming over golf's hilltop is largely led by the new generation.
There are nine automatic slots in Darren Clarke's team and as it stands today, five of them are occupied by rookies. By contrast, the American team has eight automatic slots (plus four wild cards) and of the eight in pole position at the moment, only one of them - Brooks Koepka - is a rookie.
Danny Willett, Masters champion, is one of the European five. Chris Wood, winner of the PGA championship at Wentworth in May, is another.
Andy Sullivan, second in Dubai and fifth last weekend in France, is a third. Rafa Cabrera Bello, five top-eight finishes this year, is the fourth and Matt Fitzpatrick, seventh at the Masters and winner of the Nordea Masters, is the fifth rookie currently in the team.
On Wednesday, Colin Montgomerie, the victorious European captain of 2010, said no team would want any more than five rookies. Montgomerie's side in Wales had six rookies in it, but he said that's not advisable.
The last winning American team, Paul Azinger's 2008 side in Valhalla, also had six rookies. Three of them - Steve Stricker, Hunter Mahan and JB Holmes - were captain's picks.
As part of a foursome, a fourball or in the Sunday singles, Azinger's rookies contributed 12 points in their team's 16½-12½ success. Anthony Kim's days at golf's top table might have been extraordinarily brief, but they were spectacular.
At Valhalla, Kim was a revelation. Azinger didn't care that half his team hadn't played Ryder Cup before. He was fearless in going with form and he got his reward.
Was Montgomerie making too much of the rookie argument? "That's Colin's opinion, but we want the best golfers," said Cabrera Bello. "I'm close, but I'm not done yet."
Sullivan is also close. "I'm in at the moment but the next three or four weeks are going to be massive," he said. "We have the Scottish Open now and then The Open and the USPGA. Three big events. If I don't get in automatically then I'm not getting a pick. I'm sure of that. I'm not playing for a pick, I'm playing for automatic qualification.
"There's a lot of rookies there or thereabouts. I'm sure Darren wouldn't have wanted so many in the frame but we're trying to give him as big a headache as possible. There's quite a few of us trying to show that we're ready for it. Come Hazeltine, we'll see how many of us are there and if we're ready for it or not."
McDowell is acutely aware of what he needs to do - or not do. "I'm trying my best to throttle back and be patient and not go grabbing for it," he said about his game and his pursuit of a spot on the team. He said that regardless of how many rookies are currently in the top nine, somebody like Shane Lowry would be a "hell of a pick".
Lowry - second at the US Open in June - is one of those rookies who's banging on the door a little more loudly than some of the more established names.
Thorbjorn Olesen has had four top 10s this year. Fellow Dane Soren Kjeldsen has three - including a top 10 at the Masters. Scotland's Russell Knox has had a win and two seconds since last autumn.
Sullivan was probably right when he said that Clarke would be wishing for some experienced men to find themselves again - Westwood, Kaymer and McDowell most notably - but what if they don't? What's the thinking when you have an in-form rookie on the one hand and an out-of-sorts legend on the other? Does Clarke still go with experience? How many rookies is enough? How many is too many?
"Darren wouldn't want us to make it easy for him," said Sullivan, with a smile. In the coming months, the captain is going to have some big calls to make. | Graeme McDowell was at the back of the 18th green at Castle Stuart talking about "the dangling carrot" that is September's Ryder Cup at Hazeltine in Minnesota. | 36738997 | [

Do you get your business done early, or drag it out until the last minute? What tricks of the trade can an agent use? How do you keep your player happy? What kind of clauses/add-ons go into a contract?
BBC Sport spoke to David Seligman, an agent at CM Sports in Manchester and an expert in sports law, and renowned agent Eric Hall for some insight into the type of last-ditch negotiations that occur when the transfer window is about to shut.
Seligman currently represents a number of Football League players while Hall's client list once included the likes of England internationals Dennis Wise, Tim Sherwood and Neil Ruddock.
"If it gets to deadline day, you know there isn't any time for the club to go and get somebody else, so the price goes up and you get them the better deal," says Seligman.
"If you talk to your Harry Redknapps, Alex Fergusons and Terry Venables, they won't wait until deadline day if they fancy a player," says Hall. "Deadline day just gives people like me and the players extra ammunition.
"On deadline day, you just go 'chat, chat, chat, chat'. Keep them chatting until you're near to that deadline hour and then they will give you anything, within a certain reason, that you want. Ask for everything because as silly as some stuff may sound, you'll probably get it.
"I remember quite a few years ago, I took Kenny Sansom from Arsenal to Jim Smith and Newcastle and I got three times more than I probably should have got."
Seligman adds: "I negotiated a lower league player's release from his contract at one club in January and we were offered £5,000 to cancel his contract two days before the window closed.
"We waited and one hour before the window closed I got him double that. We were playing a game of chicken - we kept saying we wouldn't accept it - and it went down to the wire and the price went up."
"It's all about assessing who has the power - the club or the player," says Seligman. "I once represented a player who had not scored a goal for a long time but he had played at a high level so, in his head, he wanted to earn a certain amount of money.
"I eventually got him £2,500 a week after one club had initially offered £700 a week. He got a £10,000 signing on fee, too. From my point of view, when I first touted the player to the manager concerned, he was very interested. I gauged that by the fact he rang me back 25 minutes later after he'd done some digging and watched some videos.
"He said there and then there would be an email with a contract offer within the hour. At that point, I knew I had the power - he was the club's number one target."
"When you're dragging it out a little bit, that's where an agent really has to earn his corn," says Seligman. "You have to find the right balance between keeping the player happy and making sure the deal is not lost.
"A conversation needs to be had with the player on how far they want to push it, because it's their career. If you get to a point where the player says they don't want to push it too far, then you have to agree and take the deal that's on the table.
"This is where a good agent and a bad agent are separated because if you're a good agent, you are able to analyse the situation and use your contacts in the game to see if a club is speaking to other players and get the player to trust you.
"You don't want to lose a deal, but you don't want to cave too early."
"There's no point in being underhand," says Seligman. "You play them off against each other by being honest. If they think another club is interested it can ramp the wages up."
Hall recalls: "I took Tim Sherwood up to Blackburn a few years ago. The same day, I was doing a deal with Derby where Arthur Cox wanted to sign Tim (who was at Norwich at the time).
"I was playing games with my lovely mate [then Rovers manager] Kenny Dalglish and I kept him hanging on. You play one against the other. But if you're good at your job, you shouldn't play too many games. You mustn't underestimate chairmen either because most have the money to buy a club because they are good businessmen. They are not idiots."
"Another trick is to say the deal if off by saying the offer is unacceptable," says Seligman. "Or you can bring a player's family into it and say the player can't justify the travel because he's got a young family, and then the club say they'll put him up in a flat and help out with that. If the club really want the player it is important to not only look after him but his family too.
"Conversely, I had a player last summer who was offered 50% more than what he was earning at the time elsewhere but he turned it down because his girlfriend couldn't move. That's just the real world - she couldn't move in her line of work."
"I had one player who wouldn't take a second year at a club because he thought he would get a bigger move and earn more money elsewhere - on the advice of his wife," recalls Seligman. "He got paid up after six months.
"I've had a lot of English lads who are small and they say to me they want to make it in Spain," says Seligman. "'The game is better suited to me in Spain', 'my dad said it'd be better for me in Spain' but I tell them that if they are good enough to play professionally in Spain, they are good enough to play professionally in England.
"People don't like being told a few home truths, but as an agent you have to balance it. You're dealing with human beings who are temperamental and footballers can be more temperamental and egotistical than most."
"It can be useful to use media stories and hype too," admits Seligman. "If a player gets talked about a lot, whether it be on social media or in the press, there is more attention attracted to them.
"If you have a player who is spoken about a lot, you have people wanting to watch him. I had a player who was scouted by a Championship club (he eventually signed for another Championship club) because there were just so many people talking about him and they didn't want to miss out. You have to create that 'don't want to miss out' philosophy.
"I've put out stories before now saying that my client has been watched by three or four clubs in a higher division because (a) it's true and (b) it raises their profile."
"I've already told my players to build up their Twitter following over the next few months and when it comes to negotiations, we can get clauses built in there," says Seligman.
"If you're a player at a club and you're always giving away your boots, shirts and signed stuff, the fans will love you. Becoming a fans' favourite gives you more power, it helps when you're negotiating a new contract.
"Also, you can go to a club on a commercial level and say 'Look, I've got 20,000 followers on Twitter and you can put promotions out via my Twitter feed. That can aid the club, and in return I want an extra £100 a week.' That's a more innovative term in a contract.
"If you have two identical players and you're not sure which one to choose but there's one who you can make more money out of commercially, social media is a new way of doing that," adds Seligman.
"We've seen financial analysts and pundits justifying high transfer fees and wages for Gareth Bale at Real Madrid and David Beckham at LA Galaxy by the amount of shirts they sell. It's that but on a smaller scale. It's all about making more money."
"I had a player called Richard Duffy, who was on loan at Coventry from Portsmouth," says Hall. "His loan was due to finish about a week before the deadline and then I got a call from Coventry.
"They said they wanted to keep my player until the end of the season. I said 'That's great, if Portsmouth agree, but I want three times more for his wages, plus this, that, a car and a little house for him to live with his girlfriend.'
"Because it was a couple of days before the window was going to shut, and Coventry were struggling at the time, they came up with it."
Seligman adds: "A lot of the time, I get my client a relocation fee or expenses. I use a guy who is really good at relocating players. He sources everything like schools, nurseries… whatever is necessary. Anything which makes a player comfortable should, in theory, make him play better."
"The things that tend to work well for my clients are to get things like performance bonuses worked into the contract," says Seligman. "You can get a goal bonus - £100 per goal, £200 per goal, etc, or 10 goals can earn you £1,000. Clubs prefer that - to do it per five, 10 or 15 goals - but as an agent I'm not a fan of that.
"I had a big argument with a chairman at a Conference club once. He proposed my client got a £2,000 bonus if he got 20 goals - £100 a goal really - but I said I didn't like that because if he scores 19 goals and gets 10 assists you're going to be delighted with him but he won't get his bonus.
"His reply was that he'd sort something out but that wasn't good enough - it's all well and good saying that in August, it needs to be in the contract."
Hall recalled: "I remember saying to Terry Venables [on one particular deadline day] that I wanted my player to get £5,000 if he scores a goal. He was a goalkeeper!" | How do you get a player the best deal on transfer deadline day? | 30923145 | [

The Nigeria international denied the charge, which was upheld by an independent regulatory commission.

Leng Ouch gathered evidence to highlight how land concessions (ELCs) were being abused and forcing communities from their homes.
His outspoken criticism of the government led to fears for his safety, forcing Mr Ouch into hiding.
In 2014, the government cancelled ELCs that covered 89,000 hectares of forest.
Despite this, Mr Ouch said he felt the plight of the nation's forests was not improving.
"The situation is getting worse year after year," he told BBC News.
"There is no improvement, there is more destruction. There is more deforestation and more demand from overseas.
"We have lost millions of hectares of land through the land concessions."
It is reported that Cambodia has one of the highest deforestation rates in the world, and just 20-30% of its original forest cover remains.
One of the driving forces is the demand from nations like China for high-value hardwoods, such as Siamese rosewood that can fetch US $50,000 (£35,000) for a cubic metre.
Another cause for the high deforestation rate is the introduction of Economic Land Concessions (ELCs) in 2001, which were designed to support economy-boosting large-scale agriculture, such as rubber and sugar plantations.
However, the issuing of the ELCs has affected many communities that depended on the land for their livelihoods.
Campaigners say that more than 700,000 people have been driven from their homes as a result of ELCs.
Leng Ouch's work has taken him undercover and placed him in extreme danger as he attempted to gather evidence of the impact of the ELCs on forests and forest people.
Posing as a labourer, he was able to shed light how the land concessions were being used to provide cover for illegal operations.
In 2012, a moratorium was imposed on ELCs, but Mr Ouch argued that it did not go far enough and did not stop forests being felled and people being displaced.
Mr Ouch explained why he had spent more than two decades investigating and campaigning to highlight the injustices he felt he had witnessed.
"There are not many people in Cambodia that do this kind of work and I felt it was necessary for me to step in and defend and protect the forests," he observed.
However, he was aware of the dangers of being an environmental campaigner in Cambodia and had often gone into hiding in order to avoid unwanted attention and threats to his life.
Winning a globally prestigious environmental prize does not remove the dangers. In March, Berta Caceres - a 2015 Gold Prize winner - was killed by gunmen in Honduras. She had been a vocal campaigner against a project to build a massive dam across the Gualcarque River.
He said he was excited to be one of this year's winners of the Goldman Environmental Prize - described as the Oscars of grassroots environmentalism - as it presented an opportunity to tell the wider world about the situation in Cambodia.
"I hope the world will help us bring about change, and protect forests for future generations," he said.
"I will use this award to protect and defend the forests, and to ask local people and the international community to protect these areas."
He added that he planned to use the prize money to help finance his work.
Mr Ouch and five other grassroots campaigners will receive their prize at a ceremony in San Francisco on Monday.
The other winners are:
Edward Loure from Tanzania: Mr Loure led a grassroots organisation that developed an approach to secure land titles to indigenous communities rather than individuals in order to protect the environment for future generations
Zuzana Caputova from Slovakia: Ms Caputova, a lawyer, led a campaign that resulted in the closure of a toxic waste dump that was having an adverse impact on the area's environment and community.
Luis Jorge Rivera Herrera from Puerto Rico: Mr Rivera Herrera's campaign led to the establishment a nature reserve at a location deemed to be an important nesting ground for the endangered leatherback turtle.
Destiny Watford from the United States: Ms Watford mobilised support in her Baltimore community to halt plans to build what would have been the nation's largest incinerator plant less than a mile from the high school where she was a student.
Maxima Acuna from Peru: Ms Acuna, a subsistence farmer, protected her right to continue living off her farmland despite a mining company's plans to develop a gold and copper mine on the site.

Jon Platt was taken to court after refusing to pay a £120 fine for taking his daughter, aged six, to Florida.
He had argued the law only required children to attend school regularly.
The council said it wanted to know why the court decided there was no case to answer.
Mr Platt, a solicitor, took his daughter on holiday with the extended family, despite an absence request being rejected by the school.
At a magistrates' court earlier this month he successfully argued Section 444 of the Education Act required parents ensured their children attended school "regularly", and did not put restrictions on taking them on holidays in term time.
His daughter had a 93.8% attendance rate the previous academic year.
Isle of Wight Council said it has started the formal process of appeal to the High Court for clarification on a matter of law.
Council leader Jonathan Bacon said: "The recent media attention given to this case shows that there is interest, concern and, above all, uncertainty as to what constitutes 'regular attendance' for the purposes of the legislation in question.
"The Isle of Wight Council has received clear advice that the magistrates may have failed to interpret and apply the law correctly in making their decision.
"Where the law created by Parliament is uncertain, the appeal courts have the ability to lay down a binding ruling as to the correct interpretation of the law." | Isle of Wight Council begins a High Court appeal after the case against a father who took his child on holiday during term-time was thrown out by magistrates. | 34683128 | [

Mr Besigye, under house arrest since Friday, said Ugandans had seen "the most fraudulent electoral process".
He described the poll as a sham and a creeping military coup.
President Museveni, in power for 30 years, received nearly 61% of the votes, with Mr Besigye taking 35%.
Foreign observers say the poll was conducted in an atmosphere of fear and intimidation.
While praising the "remarkable determination" of Ugandans to vote, EU chief observer Eduard Kukan said the governing National Resistance Movement's "domination of the political landscape distorted the fairness of the campaign".
The election has been marred by sporadic violence and opposition allegations of electoral fraud, with social media sites and messaging apps blocked.
"Today I am under house arrest," Mr Besigye said in a statement.
"My home is sealed off and I am not allowed to leave. Nobody is allowed to access my home. I am also under some kind of electronic blockade. I am unable to access any form of internet service in my house.
"Generally, the regime is baring its bloodied fangs and claws for all to see. This has not been an electoral process. This is a creeping military coup."
It was the fourth time Mr Besigye, candidate for the opposition Forum for Democratic Change, had taken on President Museveni.
The two men were once allies, with Mr Besigye serving as Mr Museveni's personal doctor when they were guerrilla fighters.
He was placed under house arrest ostensibly to stop him announcing his vote score unilaterally.
Mr Museveni seized power in 1986 and is credited with restoring stability to Uganda. However, critics say he has become increasingly authoritarian.
The next closest challenger to Mr Museveni, former Prime Minister Amama Mbabazi, is also reportedly under house arrest.
The National Resistance Movement put out a statement celebrating the win, saying Mr Museveni's opponents had "failed to offer any alternative".

Two employees of the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) were initially quarantined in the office.
A note reading "die a painful death, Muslims," was in the envelope with the powder, the group's lawyer said.
Initial tests showed that the powder is not hazardous, and the quarantine has been lifted.
The BBC's James Reevell at the scene says the package is now being passed to the FBI for further inspection.
Hazardous materials crews locked down the building and surrounding area shortly before 14:00 local time (19:00 GMT), while staff from CAIR waited outside.
In recent days, President Barack Obama has warned against anti-Muslim sentiment in the wake of deadly terror attacks in San Bernardino, California.
The Muslim group's leaders said that threats were not uncommon, and had increased since the attacks in Paris about a month ago.
Mr Awad tweeted that the office was "evacuated by DC Fire Dept after receiving envelope with suspicious powdered substance [with] hate message".
The group's lawyer posted a message on Facebook that said: "It's frightening to experience the hate manifest itself to such a real level. This will not deter us from continuing to protect the civil rights and liberties of all Americans."
Police cordoned off the area, which is located about a half-mile (0.73km) from the US Capitol building.

The victim, aged 62, had been stabbed in his chest and neck and had a bite mark on his face, the police told the BBC.
The suspect, a Zimbabwean national, was found in the Gugulethu township near Cape Town.
He is due to be formally charged in court later on Thursday or Friday.
Western Cape Deputy Police Commissioner Sharon Jephta said police officers and witnesses had been offered counselling to cope with the trauma.

The 18-year-old helped the Brewers win automatic promotion from League One last season during a three-month loan.
"We've agreed a deal in principal but it's not signed. The bones are there. We hope it will be done by Saturday," boss Nigel Clough told BBC Radio Derby.
"He is still only 18 years old so he'll have the advantage of enthusiasm."

The repeal bill, published earlier, is also facing opposition from Labour and other parties in the Commons.
Ministers are "optimistic" about getting it through and have promised an "ongoing intense dialogue" with the devolved administrations.
No 10 said it had to be passed or "there will be no laws" after Brexit.
Brexit Secretary David Davis called it "one of the most significant pieces of legislation that has ever passed through Parliament".
He rejected claims ministers were giving themselves "sweeping powers" to make changes to laws as they are repatriated.
It will be up to MPs if they want a say on the "technical changes" ministers plan to make to legislation, he told the BBC.
Labour says it will not support the bill in its current form and is demanding concessions in six areas, including the incorporation of the European Charter of Fundamental Rights into British law.
The party wants guarantees workers' rights will be protected and also want curbs on the power of government ministers to alter legislation without full parliamentary scrutiny.
Leader Jeremy Corbyn, who was in Brussels earlier for a meeting with the EU's chief negotiator Michel Barnier, said: "Far too much of it seems to be a process where the government... will be able to bypass Parliament.
"We will make sure there is full parliamentary scrutiny. We have a Parliament where the government doesn't have a majority, we have a country which voted in two ways on Leave or Remain.
"The majority voted to leave and we respect that, but they didn't vote to lose jobs and they didn't vote to have Parliament ridden roughshod over."
The Conservatives are relying on Democratic Unionist Party support to win key votes after losing their Commons majority in the general election, but could face a revolt from Remain supporting backbenchers.
BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg said there could be "parliamentary guerrilla warfare" on the bill, as opposition parties and "Remainer Tories" try to "put their version of Brexit, not Theresa May's, on to the statute book".
The repeal bill is not expected to be debated by MPs until the Autumn, but will need to have been passed by the time the UK leaves the EU - which is due to happen in March 2019.
But the Scottish and Welsh governments have to give "legislative consent" to the bill before it can become law - something they have said they are not willing to do.
In a joint statement, first ministers Nicola Sturgeon and Carwyn Jones, who also met Mr Barnier, described the bill as a "naked power-grab" by Westminster that undermined the principles of devolution.
They say the bill returns powers from Brussels solely to the UK government and Parliament and "imposes new restrictions" on the Scottish Parliament and the Welsh Assembly.
Ministers at Holyrood will not be able to amend EU rules in devolved areas such as agriculture and fisheries after Brexit until the UK Parliament and Scottish government have reached an agreement on them.
UK Scottish Secretary David Mundell claimed the repeal bill would result in a powers "bonanza" for Holyrood - a comment described as "ludicrous" by the SNP.
Theresa May's official spokeswoman said the repeal bill was a "hugely important piece of legislation" because "we need to have a functioning statute book on the day we leave the EU".
The spokesman said First Secretary of State Damian Green had contacted the devolved administrations in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and the government was confident of gaining their consent.
Asked if there was a contingency plan if he didn't win their backing, the prime minister's official spokesman said "not that I'm aware of".
Lib Dem leader Tim Farron, whose party is seeking to join forces with Labour and Tory rebels, said he was "putting the government on warning", promising a tougher test than than it faced when passing legislation authorising the UK's departure from the EU.
"If you found the Article 50 Bill difficult, you should be under no illusion, this will be hell," he said.
Steve Baker, a minister in the Department for Exiting the European Union, said the government was "ready" for a fight over the bill but would also to "listen to Parliament".
Speaking to BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg, Mr Davies predicted the bill "may get amendments here and there", saying he was open to suggestions from other parties for things that should be included.
"If we've missed something and got something wrong, then we'll debate that in the House of Commons," he said.
"That's how this works."
Mr Davis also insisted contingency plans were being made in case the UK and the EU cannot agree a Brexit deal.
"We are planning for all options," he said.
"The ideal outcome... right through to it not working at all and not getting a negotiated outcome at all."
Asked why Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson had said the government had "no plan" for such a scenario, he said: "That's possibly because it's my responsibility to plan for it." | The Scottish and Welsh governments have threatened to block the key Brexit bill which will convert all existing EU laws into UK law. | 40589510 | [

The homes are planned to be for social or mid-market rent and it is hoped they will all be completed by 2021.
Glasgow City Council's executive committee also approved £20m to improve existing housing.
Of this, £14m was announced last month as part of scheme to upgrade homes and make them available for social renting.
The £34m four-year improvement and repair scheme is also being funded with £20m from the Scottish government.
The funding to build homes is to be channelled through housing associations over the next four years.
Eight sites in the area have been identified for development.
As part of the strategy, Govanhill Housing Association has also committed £3.7m to new housing and repairs for the duration of the four year period.
Overall this means there are plans to invest more than £44m in housing in Govanhill over the next four years.
Councillor George Redmond: "This is an impressive document and points to the way ahead in Govanhill."
"Significant sums are being invested in Govanhill and it is great news that part of that money will go towards new housing.
"The council has been working exceptionally hard to turn things around in Govanhill and we are starting to see real progress being made."
He said that while the council was keen to work with all property owners in Govanhill, he warned the council would use power of compulsory purchase against those who refused to get on board with the plans. | About 350 homes are to be built in the Govanhill area of Glasgow under a £6.4m council initiative to help "turn the area around". | 39144868 | [

Club director Emilio Butragueno confirmed Fifa had asked the Spanish Federation for documents relating to transfers over the last five years.
Butragueno said the club was "absolutely calm" about its behaviour.
Fifa handed Barcelona a transfer ban until 2016 after they breached regulations when signing 10 players under the age of 18 in 2013.
In a statement, Real Madrid said the majority of the 51 players that world football's governing body had asked for information on were exempt from regulations for various reasons.
Fifa rules state that international transfers are only permitted for players who are over the age of 18 - unless the player in question meets one of three qualifying criteria.
Under-18s can move to a club in a different country if:
Real claim 10 of the 51 players were Spanish nationals, while 23 foreign players had already been registered with a Spanish club.
On Thursday, Real completed the £2.3m signing of 16-year-old Norway midfielder Martin Odegaard from Stromgodset.
Barcelona are not allowed to sign any players in 2015 after their appeal against their transfer ban was dismissed in December. | Fifa is investigating Real Madrid's youth transfer policy and has asked the club for information on 51 players. | 30997809 | [

Now, he has to find a replacement for the German as team-mate to Lewis Hamilton. And at this late stage of the year, it will be no easy task.
So who will be on Wolff's shortlist and how likely are they to get the seat?
This is the fight many would like to see. Hamilton and Alonso are regarded as the two towering talents of their generation and their intense battle as McLaren team-mates in 2007 was cut short by Alonso falling out with boss Ron Dennis and leaving the team. They ended that year tied on points, one behind world champion Kimi Raikkonen, with four wins each.
Round two would be the biggest box office F1 could hope for, but it is highly unlikely to happen for two reasons: 1) Alonso is under contract to McLaren and even if he has a break clause - which they say he does not - they would not want to let him go; 2) More importantly, Wolff knows that the problems he had with Hamilton and Rosberg would pale compared to the potential difficulties of handling Hamilton and Alonso.
Chances of it happening: 6/10
The Australian was the choice of many observers as the driver of 2016, and Wolff is a big fan. The on-track battle with Hamilton would be intense, but Ricciardo is a laid-back character and would probably be easier to handle off it.
But he is under contract to Red Bull until 2018. Red Bull says they have no intention of letting him go, but if Wolff approached them there is just the possibility that they may consider selling Ricciardo. Why? Because most accept that, long term, Ricciardo and Max Verstappen is not a sustainable line-up - if Red Bull become title contenders their relationship is very likely to become incendiary.
Chances: 6/10
Verstappen is the big rising star of F1. Shaded by Ricciardo over 2016 as a whole, performances such as his stunning drive in the wet in Brazil last month mark him out as a future world champion.
Wolff would be very interested but, like Ricciardo, Verstappen is under contract to Red Bull - in his case to the end of 2019. And Red Bull are even more in love with the Dutchman than they are with Ricciardo.
Chances: 4/10
Vettel's love affair with Ferrari - and vice versa - is long over after a difficult and disappointing season. Relations with team boss Maurizio Arrivabene are frayed - especially since the Italian said the four-time champion should focus more on his driving and needed to "earn" a new contract beyond 2017. And Vettel was unhappy with the decision to split with technical director James Allison in the summer.
Likewise, Ferrari have been confused how, after a year and a half of easily beating team-mate Kimi Raikkonen, Vettel's form slipped in the second half of 2016 - although they might want to read the previous paragraph for an answer.
Vettel has been shopping around for a move and would almost certainly welcome a switch to Mercedes. But there are some problems: 1) his contract runs to the end of 2017 and there is no obvious replacement for Ferrari; 2) he might not fancy going up against Hamilton; 3) Vettel and Hamilton together is almost as much of a recipe for trouble as Hamilton and Alonso.
Chances of it happening: 8/10
Wolff has a long relationship with Bottas as part of his management team and rates him highly. The Finn has impressed in the last four seasons with Williams and would be a low-maintenance choice. He would deliver solid results on track and is calm and would not rock the boat off it.
Next year is the last year of his contract at Williams. The team is not the most flush with cash in the pit lane and Wolff would almost certainly be able to put together an attractive deal - either for a cash payment to release Bottas or a reduction in Williams' engine fee.
But Williams have an 18-year-old rookie in the well-resourced Canadian Lance Stroll in their other car next year and need experience in the lead car. Wolff could offer them Mercedes protege Pascal Wehrlein, who raced for Manor in 2016, in exchange. But would Williams accept? Felipe Nasr, who raced for Sauber in 2016, would also be an option for them, and please F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone, who needs a Brazilian in the sport to satisfy its largest single TV audience.
Chances: 9/10
The German is the obvious choice - he is Mercedes' reserve driver, he has tested for the team several times, and he is a free agent. But he has only one season's race experience, and although he has put in some promising drives, he has had a few shaky ones as well.
Putting him in a race-winning car with Hamilton as his team-mate would be a big ask. And that's without even considering his personality. Insiders say Wehrlein can be difficult and self-centred, and Wolff will be wary of putting such a character alongside Hamilton.
Chances: 8/10
Another Mercedes young driver, Ocon has impressed in his half-season alongside Wehrlein at Manor - so much so that Force India picked him rather than the German as their second driver alongside Sergio Perez for 2017.
But Ocon has only nine races under his belt and it's surely too early for him to get a seat at the factory Mercedes team.
Chances: 7/10
A left-field choice, the Scot has been out of F1 for two years now. But he was Williams reserve driver this year and is a Mercedes-contracted driver in the DTM German Touring Car Championship and would be a solid option.
Chances: 5/10
Button has retired from F1, but remains contracted to McLaren. He made it very clear in the last few weeks that he needed a break from the sport.
Chances: 1/10
The German has just signed a three-year deal with Renault, but the French company and Mercedes have links on a corporate level and Wolff is close friends with their racing boss Frederic Vasseur.
But taking Hulkenberg would leave Renault with a vacancy that would be tough to fill and Wolff is not overly enamoured with him either.
Chances: 2/10 | Mercedes Formula 1 boss Toto Wolff admits that Nico Rosberg's decision to retire took him completely by surprise - but it is only the start of his problems. | 38185491 | [

This is despite the company reporting a pre-tax profit of £36m in the first half of 2015, compared with a loss of £9m a year earlier.
The group said the turnaround was due to "robust trading" in its food and funeral businesses.
These are the first results since radical changes to the business were brought in at the end of last year.
Following a review of the business by Lord Myners, the number of board members was cut drastically, while directors had to have qualifications suited to running the business. Members were also given one vote each.
The business recorded a deficit of £2.5bn in 2013 following massive losses at the Co-operative Bank. Following changes in the ownership structure of the bank, the Co-op Group now holds just a 20% stake in the bank.
"We've made a good start on the three year journey to rebuild the Co-operative Group," said chief executive Richard Pennycook of the half-year results.
"These early days are about fixing the basics - putting in place new leadership teams and providing the investment to deliver the strategies for our businesses. Our customers and members are beginning to see the difference.
The food business saw like-for-like sales at its main convenience stores increase by 3.3%, as well as 35 new store openings.
The funeral business saw volumes rise by almost 12%, "principally due to a high death rate".
Despite the improvement in the business seen in the first half of the year, the company warned that "we expect full-year profitability to reduce year on year, given the planned and increased levels of investment we are making in the second half of the year".
It also said that, again due to greater investment, it was unlikely to declare any dividends before 2018. | The Co-operative Group has said increased investment means profits this year will be lower than in 2014. | 34136546 | [

Avon and Somerset Police wants to raise the cost of the course from £80 to £95 to help pay for its road policing unit.
The Alliance of British Drivers said the police should not be funded by people "who hadn't done much wrong".
Police and Crime Commissioner Sue Mountstevens said she would not comment on the proposal, which would be discussed later on Monday.
Alliance spokesman Bob Bull described the courses as "not about safety", "more about making money" and a "self-funding merry-go-round.
He said people who were driving at "marginally over" the speed limit should not be penalised and that the police should be concentrating on catching drivers travelling at well over the limit.
In the report, the panel said it hoped the price rise would protect the unit from further cutbacks.
The course is offered to drivers who are caught travelling at 10% above the speed limit plus two mph, but not more than 10% plus nine mph.
At the new price the course would be £5 short of the £100 fixed penalty, but without drivers getting points on their licences.
A motorist who has attended one of the courses within the past three years is not eligible to have the option of attending again.
RAC head of external affairs Pete Williams described the increased cost as "an unwelcome surprise for drivers".
Mr Williams said with more than one million motorists attending the courses each year "there is big money to be made, either by the police or those running the courses".
Staffordshire £80
North Wales £85
Gloucestershire £90
Surrey £95
City of London & Metropolitan £97

Hearn is trying to line up a spot for Taylor on the undercard of Mikey Garcia's clash with four-time world champion Adrien Broner on 28 July.
Taylor stopped German Nina Meinke in a world title eliminator at Wembley Stadium in April and is expected to fight for a world title in the autumn.
Ireland's former Olympic champion has won all five bouts since turning pro.
Unbeaten Belfast boxer Ryan Burnett, who is also in Hearn's Matchroom Boxing stable, will fight champion Lee Haskins for the IBF world bantamweight title at the SSE Arena on Saturday.
It is a first crack at a world belt for the 24-year-old Burnett, whose one hundred per cent record in 16 pro contests has already earned him British and WBC International titles. | Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn hopes to give Katie Taylor her American debut as a pro fighter in New York in July. | 40167389 | [

Those with mental health or neurological conditions were least likely to have developed ways of living with their illness.
A study of 15,687 adults has been analysed at Heriot-Watt University.
The Welsh government said it was working with charities on a patient guide for those with chronic illnesses.
The study, published in the International Journal of Cardiology and based on research in 2012, found:
Chronic illnesses affect an estimated 800,000 people in Wales and are a growing problem for the NHS as the population gets older.
Dr Ivy Shiue, assistant professor of environmental health at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, said people who had not learnt to live with symptoms experienced worse quality of life and the risks were especially high for those with mental health conditions.
"These patients may start to lose hope and their sense of identity, ultimately leading to a feeling of fear, hopelessness and despair at their condition," she said.
CASE STUDY: Lisa Welch, from Cwmfelinfach, Caerphilly County, has suffered with depression but got help through a self-management programme and mental health charity Gofal.
"I've had mental health problems for 19 years but it got worse. I had a bad divorce and I couldn't cope. I wouldn't get dressed, I wouldn't go out, wash or shower, it all spiralled out of control from there and it made me feel worse.
"I just didn't want to be here. But I have two boys and that kept me going."
"It was only when I had rent arrears and then I was offered help and got introduced to Gofal. Dealing with my bills with the help of my support worker was a big weight off my shoulders."
The Welsh government said people living with long-term health conditions could benefit from working with medical professionals to help manage their health and wellbeing.
"This can also help to inform them about the support available to them from both the NHS and voluntary organisations," said a spokesperson.
A guide for patients is also being developed with the Long Term Conditions Alliance Cymru. | Nearly a third of adults in Wales are struggling to cope with the pain and symptoms of long-term health conditions, according to a new study. | 31588680 | [

The review of 5,000 studies on golf and wellbeing found physical benefits increased with the player's age.
The study is part of the Gold and Health Project, which is led by the World Golf Foundation.
The project plans to look at gaps in the research such as golf's links to mental health and muscle strengthening.
Executive director of the Golf and Health project Dr Roger Hawkes said the aim had been to add some "scientific rigour" to statements made about golf and wellbeing.
"For a number of years we've felt we've underplayed the likely benefits of golf on peoples' health," he said.
"We already have a scoping review, outlining what we know already, and we're going to look at that research and the gaps in knowledge so that in five years time we will have really good evidence."
Having this academically firmed up through in-depth research is going to provide real, tangible resource
Lead researcher Dr Andrew Murray said: "Evidence suggests golfers live longer than non-golfers, enjoying improvements in cholesterol levels, body composition, wellness, self-esteem and self-worth.
"Given that the sport can be played by the very young to the very old, this demonstrates a wide variety of health benefits for people of all ages."
The study suggested playing golf could help players meet and exceed minimum government recommendations for moderate to vigorous physical activity.
It claimed that golfers walking 18 holes could cover four to eight miles, while those using an electric golf cart typically chalked up four miles.
Players burned a minimum of 500 calories over 18 holes, it said.
World Golf Foundation CEO Steve Mona said the Golf and Health Project was vital to the development of the sport.
"This project is something we can all get behind, as it is universally agreed that golf is good for you," he said.
"Having this academically firmed up through in-depth research is going to provide real, tangible resources that can be used by governments and politicians, professional tours, governing bodies, golf businesses, PGA Professionals and more - all to the sport's benefit."
The research was released to coincide with the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship in St Andrews this week.

French embassies, consulates, cultural centres and schools in some 20 countries will be closed for the next few days as a precaution.
Government ministers voiced concern at the Charlie Hebdo cartoons but defended the freedom of the press.
Riot police have been deployed around the magazine's offices in Paris.
The magazine has confirmed that its website has been attacked.
Its paper edition features caricatures which play on both the uproar in the Islamic world over an amateur video which mocks Islam and the row over the publication in France of topless photos of the Duchess of Cambridge.
A tenet of Islam bans the portrayal of its founder, the Prophet Muhammad.
Some 30 people have died in violent protests which erupted early last week over the Innocence of Muslims video, which was made in the United States.
The dead include the US ambassador to Libya, Christopher Stevens, and three other Americans, who died in Benghazi. US and other Western embassies have come under attack in mainly Muslim countries.
Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said he was "concerned" at the cartoons and had ordered "special security measures... in all the countries where this [publication] could pose a problem".
By Christian FraserBBC News, Paris
The French schools are already closed in Tunisia. In Libya, French journalists are withdrawing from known hotels. And in the Muslim community of Belleville in Paris, they have been buying the latest edition of Charlie Hebdo just to rip it up.
No wonder the French authorities are concerned. The foreign minister acted quickly this morning in an attempt to suppress the anger, while articulating the government's frustrations. The decision to print the cartoons at a time when Western embassies are already threatened, he said, would only "add fuel to the fire".
Last night Charb, the editor of Charlie Hebdo, told me he rejected criticism that he was inciting violence, putting French lives at risk. He was using the cartoons, he said, to make fun of the film rather than the Prophet. But he would know what the reaction would be. Even as he left his offices last night, the riot police were there, on stand-by as a precaution. And this morning the magazine's website was hacked.
The French authorities have turned down an application from the Muslim community for a demonstration on Saturday. The request was initially lodged in response to the controversial American film. Mr Fabius says he "sees no reason to allow conflicts that do not concern France into the country". But the government's decision is harder to defend now that the magazine has decided to publish, though clearly there are public order issues. These are highly offensive images, even to non-Muslims.
The closures relate to possible protests following weekly Muslim prayers.
No list of countries affected was immediately available. However, the following measures have been put in place:
A statement about the cartoons on the French foreign ministry's website quotes Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault as saying "freedom of expression is one of [France's] fundamental principles", as are secularism and respect for religious convictions.
"And this is why, in the current context, the prime minister would like to express his disapproval of any excesses," the statement adds.
But US White House spokesman Jay Carney expressed concern at the decision to publish the cartoons, comparing them to the Innocence of Muslims video which caused uproar in last week.
"We know that these images will be deeply offensive to many and have the potential to be inflammatory," he said.
"We don't question the right of something like this to be published, we just question the judgement behind the decision to publish it and I think that's our view about the video that was produced in this country and has caused so much offence in the Muslim world."
Muslim leaders urged calm in France, which has the EU's largest Muslim community - about 10% of the population.
"This is a disgraceful and hateful, useless and stupid provocation," Dalil Boubakeur, rector of the Paris Grand Mosque, told the Associated Press news agency before meeting Mr Valls.
Charlie Hebdo, known in France for its scatological cartoons, has caricatured other religious figures in the past, including a "Pope special" in 2008 which resulted in an unsuccessful court action accusing the magazine of inciting hate.
One of the milder cartoons in Wednesday's edition, the cover image, shows an Orthodox Jew pushing a turbaned figure in a wheelchair, with the caption "You mustn't mock".
Among the explicit cartoons inside, one clearly parodies the topless photos of the Duchess of Cambridge which appeared in Closer magazine, and resulted in an injunction on Tuesday.
The editor-in-chief of the magazine, Gerard Biard, told the BBC's World Have Your Say programme they had published the cartoons because the protests about the film were newsworthy.
"These publications will not cost lives," he said. "Who killed people? We are not killing people, I'm sorry. We are not the violent ones."
Magazine editor Stephane "Charb" Charbonnier said earlier: "I'm not asking strict Muslims to read Charlie Hebdo, just like I wouldn't go to a mosque to listen to speeches that go against everything I believe."
In November, the magazine's offices in Paris were gutted by a petrol bomb attack after it named the Prophet Muhammad as its "editor-in-chief" for an issue. | Security has been increased at France's interests abroad after a French satirical magazine published obscene cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad. | 19646748 | [

The man was refused permission to take a case against the Department for the Economy, which plans to publish another list of RHI recipients next week.
He claimed it posed a risk of reputational damage to him and losses to his business.
But the department said the stated risk was "tenuous in the extreme" and it was within its rights to proceed.
The RHI scheme was intended to increase the creation of heat from renewable sources.
However, businesses have been receiving more in subsidies than they are paying for renewable fuel and the scheme became majorly oversubscribed.
Boiler owners claim the subsidy is not simply profit, but also covers the cost of fuel and bank loans taken out to install the technology.
The fallout from the scandal surrounding the scheme, which at one point had a projected overspend of £490m, resulted in the collapse of Stormont's institutions and the calling of snap elections on 2 March.
The applicant claimed the publication of recipients' details would not differentiate between those on a capped scheme and those who had benefitted from earlier, more generous tariffs.
The business owner, named only as WB, invested £100,000 in a boiler and was accredited to the scheme in January 2016.
That meant he was eligible only for payments limited by cost controls.
The court was told his first annual payment had been £5,200 - taking him just above the £5,000 limit under which companies are not named.
His barrister told the court his client could not "avail of uncapped or untiered payments", but the department was not drawing that distinction in the information it planned to publish.
He added that there was no "potential for abuse" in the capped scheme, so the public interest in publication of his details did not apply to the same extent.
But a barrister for the department said the date of application would be included in the information to be published.
He said that would allow the discerning reader to differentiate which tariff applied to the applicant.
And he said it would show the applicant had not sought to get into the scheme during a huge spike in applications in Autumn 2015.
The barrister said it was important that information was published "wholesale" so that the public could see the scheme's cost controls were working.
The department has already published a list of limited companies that receive RHI subsidies.
But under data protection regulations, they had to give people who had applied under their own names the opportunity to explain why their details should not be made public.
The deadline for receipt of that information expires on Wednesday.
The court heard the department planned to publish the information next week.
Since April 2017, all RHI recipients have been moved to the capped and tiered scheme.

Police were called to Love Ranch brothel in Crystal, Nevada, after he was found unresponsive on Tuesday.
The American had to be driven to hospital because he was too tall to be airlifted in a helicopter.
Mr Odom, 35, has played basketball for Miami, Dallas and the Los Angeles Lakers and Clippers.
He also played for the US in the 2004 Athens Olympics, winning the bronze medal.
His condition is unknown but well-wishers tweeted their support following the news.
Mr Odom, who was married to reality television star Khloe Kardashian, has long struggled with alcohol and drug addiction.
He was involved in a drink-driving case in 2013 and was suspended from the NBA for violating its anti-drug policy in 2000.
He and Ms Kardashian were married in 2009 in a ceremony that was taped for US television network E!.
They divorced in 2013.
Odom won the NBA championship with the Lakers in 2009 and 2010 and was named NBA Sixth Man of the Year in 2011. He last played in the NBA in 2013 with the Clippers. | Ex-NBA basketball player Lamar Odom is being treated in hospital after being found unconscious at a brothel in Nevada, authorities have said. | 34524083 | [

The safety guidance comes on Back to the Future day - the date Marty and Doc visited the future in the second of the three time-hopping films and discovered people riding hoverboards.
London Fire Brigade (LFB) said a rideable on charge in a bedroom in Southwark caught fire on 11 October.
Earlier in the month, a device exploded in Morden.
On 11 October, a transporter on charge in a bedroom in Southwark caught fire, causing a loud bang.
Charlie Pugsley of the LFB said: "The cause of both fires is still under investigation whilst the devices are tested at our lab.
"We'd urge people to keep an eye on their devices whilst they are on charge." | A fire service has issued a warning after two rideables - also known as 'hoverboards' - burst into flames. | 34590450 | [

The Swiss bank is suspected of "complicity in illegal sales practices", an official at the Paris prosecutor's office told the BBC.
It also allegedly set up a shadow accounting system that masked transfers between French and Swiss bank accounts.
UBS said it was cooperating with authorities.
Under French law, being placed under official investigation means there is "serious or consistent" evidence to implicate a suspect in a crime. But it does not necessarily lead to a trial, the official said.
The latest move follows action taken against the bank's French unit last week which was also formally placed under scrutiny on similar suspicions.
The former head of UBS France, Patrick de Fayet, and two other local branch executives are already being investigated.
Investigators are examining whether UBS staff broke a French law against "illicit solicitation" by actively approaching potential clients in France.
The allegations originally came to light after former staff blew the whistle on the practices that involved hundreds of retail and corporate clients.
An anonymous letter was reportedly sent to the regulatory arm of the French central bank suggesting that parallel accounts were opened in Switzerland but undeclared in France, which is illegal under French law.
The letter said a special record was kept between 2002-2007 listing undeclared bank accounts that had been opened by corporate clients.
According to French daily Le Monde citing former employees, UBS bankers regularly mingled with affluent people at sporting events and musical concerts - including some sponsored by UBS - in order to seek out possible clients for tax evasion.
In one example, a former marketing official at the French branch of UBS said Swiss bankers "made trips [to France] to meet 'prospects'" at events, including the tennis tournament Roland Garros.
Stephanie Gibaud said she was asked to "destroy a series of sensitive documents containing the names of current or potential clients who had participated in events organised on French territory."
Nicolas Forissier, a former internal auditor of UBS' private banking division, also told the newspaper that a special record containing a list of French clients with undeclared bank accounts was sent to the UBS' Swiss headquarters.
"It was France that you had to milk. The French branch of UBS was just an excuse to collect [clients] for UBS Switzerland," he told Le Monde.
The magistrates investigating the affair have sent a list containing the names of 353 people suspected of having held a Swiss account to Swiss authorities and have requested details, the official at the prosecutor's office told the BBC.
In addition to the latest investigation, UBS was also identified as a "supervised witness" on two other allegations related to money laundering and tax evasion, she added.
Supervised witness is a less serious status than a formal investigation. It means that a person must be accompanied by his or her lawyer if questioned further in the investigation.
UBS said: "We will continue working with the authorities in France within the applicable legal framework to arrive at a resolution to this matter."
In a separate statement in French, it said: "The tribunal's decision widens the probe. UBS will continue to cooperate with the French authorities. UBS will not allow any move aimed at helping clients to avoid their fiscal duties."
The latest investigation came amid a wider government crackdown on tax evasion in Europe and the United States.
In France, former French budget minister Jerome Cahuzac resigned in April after admitting he had squirreled away savings in an undeclared Swiss bank account. His ministry was responsible for tackling tax evasion.
UBS was placed under a similar investigation in 2008 in the US when it faced charges for conspiracy to defraud the US tax authority. The bank eventually paid a $780m fine to avoid prosecution and handed over data on some 4,500 bank accounts held by suspected US tax evaders. | French authorities are formally investigating UBS for allegedly helping wealthy clients open undeclared bank accounts in Switzerland. | 22810780 | [

The bodies of Lukasz Slaboszewski, 31, Kevin Lee, 48, and John Chapman, 56, were found in ditches 10 miles (16km) apart in Newborough and Thorney.
Joanna Dennehy, 31, of Bifield, Orton Goldhay, Peterborough, pleaded guilty at the Old Bailey earlier.
The bodies of the victims were found in March and April. All three had been stabbed.
Dennehy admitting killing Mr Slaboszewski between 19 and 29 March. He had been stabbed in the heart, post-mortem tests showed.
She also pleaded guilty to murdering both Kevin Lee and John Chapman on 29 March.
Mr Lee died from stab wounds to the chest, and Mr Chapman had been stabbed in the neck and chest, tests revealed.
Dennehy also admitted "preventing the lawful and decent burial" of all three murder victims.
She also pleaded guilty to two additional charges of attempting to murder two other men.
After entering her pleas, Dennehy told the judge, Mr Justice Sweeney: "I've pleaded guilty, and that's that."
Her barrister, Nigel Lickley QC, said: "The course of the arraignment is not one we had anticipated."
Also in the dock was Gary Richards, 47, of Riseholme, Orton Goldhay, Peterborough - also known as Gary Stretch - who denied three charges of preventing the lawful burial of the bodies of Mr Slaboszewski, Mr Lee and Mr Chapman.
He also denied attempting to murder the two other men.
Two other defendants appeared at the hearing by videolink.
Leslie Layton, 36, of Bifield, Orton Goldhay, pleaded not guilty to perverting the course of justice at an earlier hearing, while Robert Moore, 55, of Belvoir Way, Peterborough, denied assisting an offender. | A woman has pleaded guilty to murdering three men whose bodies were found in ditches in Cambridgeshire. | 24987953 | [

The Fukui District Court lifted an injunction that had blocked the reopening of two reactors operated by Kansai Electric Power in the western city of Takahama.
The injunction was issued after locals argued the reactors could not withstand a strong earthquake.
Japan closed all its nuclear reactors after the Fukushima disaster in 2011.
The Takahama plants had already obtained approval from the country's nuclear watchdog.
"Today's two rulings show a recognition that safety has been ensured at Talahama Nuclear Power Station," Kansai said.
It aims to restart the reactors next month.
The vast majority of Japan's nuclear reactors remain closed - according to the Nuclear Energy Institute, the country's nuclear generating capacity is running at less than 5% of its full potential.
The government is keen to restart more reactors, which before the Fukushima disaster supplied about 30% of the country's power.
Japan has been forced to import fossil fuels to make up the shortfall. | A Japanese court has paved the way for two more of the country's nuclear reactors to be restarted. | 35175698 | [

The proposals mean charges would be placed on 625 spaces in the area and restrictions placed on a further 741.
Reading Borough Council has spent four years designing the scheme "to relieve parking pressures at the hospital" and to make parking easier for residents.
The petition, set up by hospital staff, describes the scheme as "problematic".
The online petition opposes the introduction of pay and display meters for Addington Road, Erleigh Road and other roads around the hospital in Reading.
Clare Goulbourn-Lay, a Royal Berkshire Hospital midwife, set up the petition to express her concerns about the potential consequences of the scheme.
"By making changes to this road, you're not just making it difficult for the staff, you're making it difficult for the patients and pushing the problem further out," she said.
"With the university so close as well, there simply isn't enough parking space as it is. To add another restriction is just silly."
She has called for the scheme to be cancelled or redesigned to "help make spending time with loved ones easier" and to limit the "stress and anxiety" of staff and patients.
John Sharpe, who lives on Erleigh Road, has called the plans "divisive" and said he is concerned the restrictions will make parking pressures worse.
"I'm scared it will become impossible to live in the area," he added.
Reading Borough Council said "up to five years of public consultation had taken place on the principle of prioritising parking for residents in the area" and that further public input on the plans are being sought.
Residents have until 13 June to submit their views to the council. | Plans to cut free parking on roads around the Royal Berkshire Hospital have been opposed by a petition of more than 2,300 signatures. | 36467809 | [

How a winemaker is taking on Sicily's rural Mafia
It's a warm July evening and the surrounding hills glow golden in the setting sun amid the chirruping of swallows and the song of cicadas.
It should be an image of rural peace and contentment, but on closer inspection, all is not quite as it seems.
Security cameras on high stilts dot the perimeter of his land. The metal gates leading into his winery remain securely shut throughout our interview, and inside the winery's main building, images from across his vineyard flicker on a bank of screens.
This, he says, is what it takes to run a modern business in Sicily in 2017.
Cesare has been threatened, his land has been repeatedly trespassed on, his buildings have been damaged and trees cut down or set alight. He's even been physically attacked.
"The rural Mafia was trying to drive us off our land and destroy our business," he says between careful sips of wine.
So who are the rural Mafia? Well, they're shepherds in the main - but some officials believe they're acting in cahoots with local lawyers, accountants and possibly even local politicians.
Cesare believes the battle against them pits modern Italy against forces that want Sicily to remain rooted in the ways of the past.
Driving out of his winery, he points out wooden stakes in the ground. "See that?" he says. "They're the signs of the rural Mafia"
The stakes are dotted across the land around his vineyard. They're about a metre-long, distinctive for the strip of white cardboard wrapped round them.
And they're a common sight in rural Sicily.
There are more about 100km (60 miles) away from Cesare's winery, in the foothills of Mount Etna, where Sebastiano Blanco is rebuilding a house on his plot of land.
"What those stakes say is 'this land belongs to us'," Sebastiano says. "They, the rural Mafia, see all this land as their own, regardless of who has legal title to it."
Like Cesare, he says there are local clans who believe that they, and not the Italian state, set the laws.
Last year, Sebastiano's house was burnt down. The police and fire brigade said the fire was probably started by a homeless person who'd come inside to warm up.
But Sebastiano thinks it's no coincidence that the fire happened soon after stakes appeared on his land. He believes the rural Mafia took revenge when he wouldn't hand over his land.
He cuts a forlorn figure, kicking at the blackened rubble strewn across the charred ground of what were once his bedroom, with the early evening's purple sky visible through the exposed beams of his shattered roof.
So, what exactly is it that the Mafia wants?
Giuseppe Antoci, president of Sicily's largest national park, Nebrodi, and co-ordinator of Federparchi Sicilia, the Federation of Sicilian National Parks, has been investigating the matter for the past few years.
What he's uncovered is widespread fraud involving European Union farm and rural development funds.
In an investigation conducted together with the deputy police commissioner Daniele Manganaro of the district of Messina, Mr Antoci found that local crime networks were falsely claiming land as their own - or presenting forged documents saying they had leased it - in order to make applications for EU subsidies.
"We've seen an evolution of Mafia here," he says.
"This is not the Mafia of the illegal drugs trade or the trafficking of arms. It takes a lot of work and research to commit this sort of fraud. We're not talking about the Mafia that existed 30 years ago, where the shepherd demanded a ransom or protection payment from a tradesman.
"What we have here is a Mafia whose business is to commit fraud with EU funds. And to carry out this sort of fraud, you need more than just a shepherd.
"What it requires is a network of people, people with schooling and education, people who know how the system works, because the first step in perpetrating this sort of fraud is to set up a company," says the police commissioner.
Mr Antoci has tried to put a stop to it.
He's set in motion a new law that states that anyone claiming EU subsidies on land must now show anti-Mafia certification. In Italy, this means complying with regulations that require that a company's shareholders and directors have no restrictions, limitations and bans according to anti-mafia regulations.
Sceptics say this is hardly enough to stop the fraud from being repeated, pointing out that many will simply make use of proxies to make claims on their behalf.
The European Union's anti-fraud office, Olaf, says it is reviewing 35,000 applications for agricultural subsidies in Italy covering some 500m euros in disbursements going back all the way to 2006.
It has also started nine criminal proceedings, all of which involve a network of organised crime. But this 500m euros (£447m) that the EU is looking into is far less than the 3.5bn euros that Mr Antoci and the local police force say may have been fraudulently claimed.
"I can tell you that there is a very strong commitment at the level of the EU as well as the level of national authorities to fight this kind of phenomenon," says Francesco Albore, the head of the Olaf unit investigating the matter.
Another 2.2bn euros have been earmarked in EU and Italian government funds for rural and agricultural development in the six years to 2020. So what guarantees are there that all those funds will be properly distributed?
Mr Albore says it's difficult to guarantee but points out the EU also demands guarantees that payments go to the correct recipients. Where this is not the case, he says, "payments can be stopped."
Meanwhile, back in Sicily, Mr Antoci's efforts to fight this fraud have come at a high personal price.
He's suffered death threats and now lives under permanent armed guard.
Last year, as he was being driven home through the Nebrodi national park following a late night dinner, his car came under a volley of gunfire.
If he's alive today, he says, it's only thanks to his armed guard and the fact that his car was being followed by that of the deputy police commissioner Daniele Manganaro who managed to scupper the attack by firing back.
In the aftermath, there were attempts to discredit his investigation. Some Italian media reports questioned the authenticity of the attack, suggesting Mr Antoci and the local police force had made it up. But it's only made him more determined.
"You know, afterwards, they found petrol bombs hidden in nearby bushes," Mr Antoci says. "They wanted me dead. But my first thought as I was being saved that night was for my family and for all the police officers who guard me - the sacrifices they have to make for this battle I've chosen to wage."
Still, one businessman I speak to, who's been subjected to similar threats for not handing over land, complains that he's had little support from local Sicilian political authorities in his fight to protect his land.
Which is why, back in the foothills of Mount Etna, Sebastiano Blanco wears a T-shirt emblazoned with the words: "Rural mafia - a protected species".
"It's 2017," he says. "How can this be happening in our day and age?"
He gestures at the smoking volcano, looming large in the distance over his land.
"This is a Unesco world heritage site," he says. "But as long as we're intimidated this way, how can we possibly build on the economic value of our land and property?"

The video shows three men and three unveiled women dancing to the song on the streets and rooftops of Tehran.
Police chief Hossein Sajedinia said the "vulgar clip" had "hurt public chastity", the ISNA news agency said.
Iran's state-run TV broadcast a programme on Tuesday, apparently showing the men and women confessing on camera.
A subtitled edition of the TV clip, posted on YouTube, identified the detainees as "actors" who claimed they were tricked into making the Happy video for an audition.
By Ali HamedaniBBC Persian
The young people in the video are students, film-makers and photographers.
Their video appeared during the Persian New Year, at the end of March, and it was an instant hit on Iranian social media sites, inspiring several copies.
It is just the latest example of young Iranians using the internet to challenge the restrictions on their everyday lives.
In the past month, hundreds of Iranian women have been defying the rules requiring them to cover their heads in public, by sending photographs of themselves without headscarves, to a newly created Facebook site called "My Stealthy Freedom".
Arash Sobhani, leader singer of the Iranian underground rock group Kiosk, who now lives in the US told BBC Persian that the Iranian authorities continuing attempts to crackdown on "un-Islamic" behaviour were not working.
"They banned our music, broke our guitars, attacked our parties and stopped our concerts," he said. "But did we stop? No!"
"They told me they are making a feature film and they had a permit for it," said one man in the video. "They said those things and they fooled me."
Another young woman added: "They had promised us not to publish the video."
According to some unconfirmed reports, a total of 13 people were arrested in connection with the video, but official sources have not confirmed the exact number of detainees.
Williams, whose song was nominated for an Oscar earlier this year, has protested at the arrests.
"It is beyond sad that these kids were arrested for trying to spread happiness," the singer wrote on his Facebook page.
Iran's president Hassan Rouhani also appeared to criticise the arrest.
A unofficial twitter account, widely believed to be associated with the President, posted a comment he first made last year, saying: "#Happiness is our people's right. We shouldn't be too hard on behaviours caused by joy."
Under Iran's interpretation of Islamic law, women must cover their hair and wear loose-fitting clothing meant to preserve their modesty.
Patrols of so-called "morality police" regularly enforce standards of Islamic dress on Iran's streets. However, the rules are widely flouted.
The internet is also heavily filtered in Iran, with the authorities blocking access to popular social networking sites.
The "Happy we are from Tehran" video, originally posted in March, has now been seen more than 40,000 times.
At the end of the clip, the credits read: "Happy was an excuse to be happy. We enjoyed every second of making it. Hope it puts a smile on your face."
Iranian journalist Golnaz Esfandiari tweeted in response to the arrests: "Iran [is] a country where being 'happy' is a crime.
"Thousands of Iranians have been arrested in the past 35 years for being happy [and] partying."
Arash Sobhani, leader singer of the Iranian underground rock group Kiosk, told the BBC's Persian service that attempts to suppress musicians were not working.
"They banned our music, broke our guitars, attacked our parties and stopped our concerts," he said. "But did we stop? No!"
Many Twitter users have begun using the hashtag #freehappyiranians to put pressure on the Iranian authorities to release those arrested over the video.
Williams' song has inspired hundreds of tributes since it was released last year on the soundtrack to hit animation Despicable Me 2.
The music video lasted an exhausting 24 hours - with dozens of people filmed lip-syncing and dancing to the feel-good anthem, which was played on a loop.
The clip sparked a YouTube craze, with thousands fans around the world staging their own performances of the song.
When shown a montage of the tributes on the Oprah Winfrey show last month, Williams began to cry, saying the response to the song had been "overwhelming".
In the UK, the track has reached number one on three separate occasions, while in the US it spent 10 weeks at the top of the Hot 100. | A group of Iranian fans who created a tribute to Pharrell Williams' hit song Happy have been arrested. | 27499642 | [

Scott Kelly and Kjell Lindgren had to grease the station's big robot arm, re-route some cables and remove some insulation.
The spacewalk had to be delayed after Lindgren switched on the water flow in his suit too soon.
Mission Control had to make sure the suit would be safe, before they gave the all-clear.
Water is needed to cool the suit.
Kelly who's been living at the orbiting lab since March will stay until March 2016.
But early on Thursday morning this week, he will break the American record for NASA's longest single space shot.
That 215-day record - more than seven months - was set in 2007.
President Barack Obama already has sent his congratulations in a phone call last week- telling him his time in space is ``nothing to sneeze at.''
Kelly replied ''It shouldn't be a problem getting to the end with enough energy and enthusiasm to complete the job. Records are made to be broken.''
Earlier this month, Kelly broke the U.S. record for the most time in space: 383 days and counting over four missions. It will be 522 days in total by the time he returns to Earth.

In 2015/16, 93.3% of youngsters were in a "positive destination" three months after leaving high school. That was up from 93% in 2014/15.
The Scottish government figures also showed that those taking up training was 2.6%, down from 3.8% in 2014/15.
The data is based on what happened to 52,249 pupils in S4 to S6 attending council-run and grant aided schools.
Minister for Further and Higher Education and Science, Shirley-Anne Somerville, said the statistics showed that the government was making real progress in enabling young people in Scotland to realise "their full potential".
She added: "It is especially encouraging to note that the proportion of school leavers in our most deprived areas going on to a positive destination is at a record high.
"I am also pleased to note that the proportion of school leavers going directly into higher education has reached its highest ever level."
The statistics also showed that from the 20% least deprived areas of Scotland, 96.6% of former pupils were in a "positive destination". That is up from 95.1% in 2011/12.
When looking at the 20% most deprived areas, the data shows that 88.7% of former pupils continued in education, got a job or secured training - that is up by 0.2% on 2014/15 and up by 4.8% on 2011/12.
At a local authority level Glasgow (89.9% of 4,551 pupils) and Clackmannanshire (90.2% of 489 pupils) had the lowest percentage of pupils going on to "positive destinations" while Na h-Eileanan Siar (97.6% of 248 pupils) and East Dunbartonshire (97.5% of 1,368 pupils) had the highest percentages. | The number of Scottish school leavers staying on in education, getting a job or doing voluntary work is up slightly. | 39193395 | [

A judge is considering whether to charge the star over the incident, which was filmed and went viral.
He will spend the night in detention and investigations will continue on Wednesday, a BBC reporter says.
Olomide has denied assault, though he has since apologised for his behaviour.
The Kenyan authorities deported the 60-year-old rumba singer and three of his dancers on Saturday to DR Congo's capital, Kinshasa, following a public outcry over the incident.
The BBC's Poly Muzalia in Kinshasa says police officers arrived at the singer's home early on Tuesday morning and took him into custody.
He was handcuffed, put into a police car and then taken to a court where a judge is considering whether he should be put on trial.
His lawyer, Landry Tanganyi, told the BBC that Olomide, one of Africa's most popular musicians, should not be detained overnight as he was not a flight risk.
However, Olomide left the courthouse under police escort and will spend the night at the police station, our reporter says.
The Congolese musician has been in similar trouble in the past: | Musician Koffi Olomide has been taken into custody in the Democratic Republic of Congo, days after he was deported from Kenya for allegedly kicking one of his dancers at an airport in Nairobi. | 36892967 | [

The 27-year-old, who has two senior international caps for Sweden, is unattached after leaving the Premier League club in July.
The former Udinese man initially joined the Hornets on loan in 2012, before signing on a free transfer in July 2013, making 100 appearances in total.
"We are in the market for a centre-half," Johnson told BBC Radio Bristol.
"It's the one area we are probably a bit light. We invited him in.
"There is no pressure from either side at the moment. We are just assessing the situation but also the options in the market." | Former Watford defender Joel Ekstrand is currently training with Bristol City, head coach Lee Johnson has said. | 37107077 | [

The Swans dropped back into the bottom three after losing to Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday - their third defeat in their last four games.
Clement's side were leading 1-0 after 88 minutes but a remarkable late turnaround saw Spurs triumph 3-1.
"The fact we've come out with nothing is heart-breaking," said Clement.
He continued: "The players know the situation. We're in the bottom three and there are seven games to go, and West Ham [Swansea's next opponents] are a team who've had their own troubles recently so we have to go there believing we can get a result.
"We need to get a result, especially in the next two games because the games are running out now."
While Tottenham's stunning victory kept alive their title challenge, defeat at the Liberty Stadium was a damaging blow to Swansea's hopes of survival.
Their misery was compounded by a win for relegation rivals Hull over Middlesbrough, which leaves the Swans 18th in the Premier League table and two points adrift of safety.
They are five points behind West Ham, who are in 15th place, and Clement is hopeful of having top scorer Fernando Llorente back from an ankle injury in time for Saturday's game against the Hammers.
"Things are very tight still. There are seven games to go and a lot of points to play for," Clement added.
"We have to be encouraged by our performance for long periods of that game. The players put in a good physical effort and we have to dust ourselves off and go again - we have to be professional.
"We have to know how to deal with defeat and go again on Saturday." | Swansea City head coach Paul Clement says his side are running out of time in their bid to avoid Premier League relegation. | 39509722 | [

House Speaker Paul Ryan said he and Mr Trump agreed to pull the vote, after it became apparent it would not get the minimum of 215 Republican votes needed.
The last minute move was seen as a huge blow to Mr Trump.
Repealing and replacing the programme known as Obamacare was one of his major election pledges.
Earlier on Friday, White House press secretary Sean Spicer said that the vote would go ahead at 15:30 (19:30 GMT).
Mr Trump had reportedly warned Republicans that if they did not vote for his bill then they would be stuck with Barack Obama's healthcare programme for good.
However, multiple reports suggested that between 28 and 35 Republicans were opposed to his draft American Health Care Act.
The vote was withdrawn shortly after 15:30, and the House is now in recess.
Republicans currently have a majority in both the House and the Senate.
However, some Republicans were unhappy that the bill cut health coverage too severely, while others felt the changes did not go far enough.
The bill also appeared unpopular with the public - in one recent poll, just 17% approved of it.
Speaking after the withdrawal, Mr Trump blamed the Democrats for not supporting the bill and predicted that Obamacare would "explode".
He said the Republicans would probably focus on tax reform for now.
"We have to let Obamacare go its own way for a little while," he said, adding that if the Democrats were "civilised and came together" the two parties could work out a "great healthcare bill".
How bad was Friday's defeat of the American Health Care Act in the House of Representatives? Bad. Very bad.
The American Health Care Act was the first major piece of legislation pushed by the White House and the Republican-controlled Congress, a key political test early in the president's term, when he should be at the height of his power and party cohesion at its strongest.
In spite of all of this, Mr Trump, House Speaker Paul Ryan and the Republicans running Washington could not get the job done.
For Republicans Friday wasn't just bad. It was a disaster.

Earlier, Mr Ryan told reporters: "We are going to be living with Obamacare for the foreseeable future.
"I will not sugar coat this. This is a disappointing day for us. Doing big things is hard."
"We were a 10-year opposition party where being against things was easy to do," he said, adding that it was difficult to get "people to agree with each other in how we do things".
Meanwhile, Democrat and House minority leader Nancy Pelosi described it as "a victory for the American people".
And House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer said it was a "good day" for Americans, adding "we worked over years to assure that the American public would have access to affordable, quality healthcare". | US President Donald Trump has withdrawn his healthcare bill after it failed to gain enough support to pass in Congress. | 39387550 | [
