Robert McNab was sentenced to almost three years in jail for downloading indecent images of children, sharing them and sending offensive messages.
The 30-year-old admitted carrying out the offences between 2007 and 2016 at his flat in Greenock.
He was also given a two-year licence, which means he will be monitored after being released from prison.
Greenock Sheriff Court heard how McNab, who has previous convictions for hoarding indecent images of children and sexually assaulting a young girl, chatted to people on Facebook and WhatsApp using a fake name.
He talked about sexually abusing children and raping a baby.
The sex offender, who is also known as Robert Aitman, was found to have a stash of indecent pictures and videos - including footage of babies and children up to the age of 14 being sexually abused.
Defence solicitor Gerry Keenan said McNab was the victim of repeated sexual abuse when he was a child.
"Clearly there are issues which would require to be addressed in the public interest to minimise and reduce the risk of further offending," he said.
He asked for McNab to be spared jail and said he would engage with a treatment programme for sex offenders.
However, Sheriff Derek Hamilton ruled that a custodial sentence was required for such a "disturbing" case and jailed him for 35 months
He was also placed on the Sex Offenders Register for life. | A man has been jailed after he told a stranger that he wanted her to have a baby with her so he could abuse it. | 39446973 | [

Mr Murray will step down later this month after four years in the role.
Mr Gillies, who joined Edrington as a non-executive director earlier this year, has had a number of prominent business roles during his career.
He remains a non-executive director of energy giant SSE and Barclays.

The announcement comes two weeks after Edrington reported a sharp rise in annual revenues and profit.
The Glasgow-based distiller's portfolio includes The Famous Grouse, The Macallan and Cutty Sark.
Mr Murray said: "I am very pleased to announce that Crawford will take over the chairmanship of Edrington and know that his extensive international business experience will be invaluable to the company and I wish him all the very best.
"It has been a privilege to work with so many great people who have driven commercial success and simultaneously promoted the values that set Edrington apart.
"I am confident that they will build on that success and wish them continued success in their future endeavours." | Former Scottish Enterprise chairman Crawford Gillies is to take over at the helm of spirits group Edrington, following the retirement of its chairman Norman Murray. | 40580403 | [

The firm's parent company, GTR, has said an offer, which includes a £2,000 bonus, "cannot be available indefinitely" if strikes continue.
But RMT bosses said the union had already rejected the offer, and accused Southern of using "threats and bullying".
A two-day strike is scheduled to begin on Friday.
The latest twist in the dispute comes as Southern reinstated a full timetable after three months of reduced services.
An increasingly bitter dispute has caused months of disruption for passengers, as RMT members staged a series of strikes in protest at GTR's plans to change the role of conductors on Southern services in South East England.
Rail chiefs made a "full and comprehensive offer" to the RMT on 3 October in an attempt to settle the impasse over the proposed operation of driver-only trains on the network.
But in a letter to RMT general secretary Mick Cash, GTR said: "Should your next planned action proceed... the offer is withdrawn in its entirety and will no longer be available for the RMT to accept."
Mr Cash said in a statement: "This is just more threats and bullying from Southern rail and does nothing at all to resolve the current safety dispute.
"It's also completely meaningless as the union has already rejected the £2,000 bribe to sell out safety, and the company are well aware of that."
At the height of the dispute, in July, Southern introduced a temporary timetable to help cope with staff absences, which compounded the problems caused by the strikes.
The standard service was reintroduced on Monday, although it got off to a difficult start due to a broken-down train at Crawley, while trains between Eastbourne and Hastings were hit by a signal problem.
A further three blocks of strikes are planned before Christmas. | Southern Rail's latest attempt to stop strikes on its network has been branded "meaningless" by union bosses. | 37820778 | [

The action was taken by St Columba's School in Inverclyde after details of police investigations came to light.
Police Scotland confirmed that it was investigating a recent allegation involving a young child.
A 56-year-old man has also been reported to prosecutors over alleged historical abuse of a 15-year-old girl.
A Police Scotland spokeswoman said: "We can confirm that a complaint has been received regarding a sexual assault on a young girl.
"Enquires are ongoing to establish the full circumstances and it would be inappropriate to comment further at this time."
On the other allegation she said: "A 56-year-old man has been reported to the Procurator Fiscal in connection with non-recent alleged sexual abuse of a 15-year-old girl."
The co-educational school, based in Kilmacolm, caters for about 700 pupils, with annual fees of about £11,000. | Two teachers at one of Scotland's leading private schools have been suspended amid separate allegations of sexual abuse of young girls. | 38849741 | [

In a brief speech to the National Assembly, Mr Maduro pledged loyalty to the president and said Mr Chavez remained in charge of the country.
Mr Maduro also denied that there was a political fight for the succession.
President Chavez was due to be sworn in on 10 January for a fourth term.
The Supreme Court ruled he could take the oath at a later date, a view challenged by opposition figures.
"There is only one president: Hugo Rafael Chavez Frias, supreme commander of the army, commander of the Bolivarian Revolution," Mr Maduro told legislators.
He also used his speech to announce that the Mr Chavez had appointed former vice-president Elias Jaua as Venezuela's new foreign minister.
The post was previously held by Mr Maduro.
The vice-president saluted National Assembly president, Diosdado Cabello, and dismissed rumours that they are political rivals.
"They say Cabello and I are fighting. But Cabello and I are united in our heart, in loyalty to a man who has the supreme command of this country."
The vice-president said that his appearance to give the state of the union address was in accordance with the constitution, as Mr Chavez had been granted leave of absence by the National Assembly.
This view was challenged by some legal experts - they highlight Article 237 of the Constitution, which stipulates that the president should appear "personally" to give the speech within 10 days of the inauguration of the legislature.
The current assembly was sworn in on 5 January.
Within 10 days of the inauguration of the National Assembly, in routine session, the President of the Republic shall personally present, each year, to the Assembly a message in which they give account of the political, economic and administrative aspects of their administration during the previous year.
BBC's Sarah Grainger in Caracas says that the speech, which in Mr Chavez's hands could go on for hours, lasted a matter of minutes with Mr Maduro.
President Chavez underwent a fourth operation for cancer on 11 December, and suffered post-operative complications.
Mr Maduro told legislators he had met Mr Chavez in Havana on Monday and that his health was improving.
"He is climbing the hill, he is fighting with his spirit, his vision, his love," said Mr Maduro, adding that Mr Chavez has been briefed on developments in Venezuela.
Supreme Court justices have ruled that Mr Chavez, who has been in office since 1999, can be sworn in for another term as president at a later date.
Opposition leaders say the government is riding rough-shod over the constitution and have demanded clarity about who is running the country.
According to the constitution, if a president is permanently incapacitated, the speaker of the National Assembly should take over and elections called within 30 days.
If the absence is temporary, the vice-president assumes charge for a maximum of 180 days. | Venezuelan Vice-President Nicolas Maduro has given the annual state of the nation speech in place of Hugo Chavez, who is still recuperating in Cuba after cancer surgery. | 21023362 | [

The value of the deal has not been not disclosed.
The acquisition will add more than 60 employees and more than 6,000 fleet assets to Aggreko's Rental Solutions business.
Glasgow-based Aggreko said it planned to fully integrate Dryco into its North America business.
It also intends to develop "expansion plans to enter additional sectors and global markets".
Dryco specialises in moisture control, drying, heating, and cooling applications for a number of industries, including shipping, manufacturing, food processing and construction.
The company, which operates 10 full-service locations in North America, posted revenues last year of $19m (£14.6m).
Aggreko chief executive Chris Weston said: "This acquisition combines the deep technical strength of two highly respected market leaders and provides our customers with an unparalleled range of solutions that can address their HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) and moisture control needs.
"It also gives Aggreko an opportunity to further support our rapidly expanding customer base within the shipping, food and beverage and painting and coatings industries." | Temporary power suppler Aggreko is expanding its offering in the United States by buying industrial climate control equipment specialist Dryco. | 37025080 | [

Optimism fell for the third consecutive quarter according to the CBI employers group.
It is the sector's longest period of falling sentiment since 2009 - in the midst of the financial crisis.
The survey of 115 companies found low interest rates and potential restricted EU market access were seen as risks.
But while 28% of the respondents were gloomier, 15% were more optimistic.
And almost 40% of the firms surveyed reported healthy profits in the last quarter.
Rain Newton-Smith, the CBI's chief economist, blamed the dip in sentiment on the "uncertainty caused by Brexit to low interest rates, technological change and strong competition".
She called on the chancellor Philip Hammond to "set a clear direction for growth and prosperity" in his Autumn Statement in November.
"With firms voicing strong concerns about the impact of Brexit, especially the risks to the wider economy in the years ahead, the government must allay their unease with clear plans for negotiations to leave the EU," Ms Newton-Smith added.
The CBI campaigned for Britain to remain in the EU ahead of June's referendum.
Meanwhile, a separate report by the manufacturers' organisation EEF found that the UK's industrial sector had continued to strengthen in 2016, and British firms had created more jobs than equivalent companies in other developed counties, with the exception of the US.
Manufacturing only accounts for around 10% of the UK economy, but Lee Hopley, EEF's chief economist, said the sector's success was vital to the country's overall growth.
"This is especially important in a post-Brexit world," Mr Hopley added, "where we have to look at possibly all new avenues of generating growth and investment". | UK financial services firms are becoming more pessimistic about their prospects in the wake of the Brexit vote, an industry survey suggests. | 37466516 | [

Tomkins joins the Super League champions with immediate effect for an undisclosed fee, signing a contract until the end of 2018.
He was presented to the crowd during the half-time interval of Wigan's 48-4 defeat of Widnes on Wednesday.
The 27-year-old played three Tests for the England rugby union side in 2013.

"I'd like to thank Saracens for the opportunity to try a different sport, a different lifestyle and also for assisting my development which allowed me to represent my country," Tomkins told Wigan's website.
"However, after a long thought-out process and at this stage in my life, I realised that the timing was right to come home.
"I am very grateful to Wigan Warriors for taking me back to the best rugby club in the world. It means everything to me to pull on the famous cherry and white jersey again."
Tomkins, who made his Wigan debut as an 18-year-old, joined Saracens at the end of the 2011 season, shortly after scoring a stunning try in the Challenge Cup final win over Leeds.
He is currently recovering from a back injury and is not expected to be fit for about four weeks.
His decision to return to rugby league is a boost for the sport, after England international Sam Burgess switched codes and agreed a move to Bath for next season.
Tomkins's younger brother Sam swapped Wigan for NRL side New Zealand Warriors at the end of last season, after helping the club to a Super League and Challenge Cup double.

It looks pretty likely that the cross-party amendment on giving Parliament a final vote on the Brexit deal will be pushed to a division.
And so will the Lib Dem amendment to give people what they call "a final say on the final deal" and what others call a second referendum. Potentially there could be further votes on issues like the Brexit implications for Northern Ireland.
The expectation is that the amended bill will get its Third Reading on Tuesday evening....but the ritual of Parliamentary ping-pong, where the Bill then bounces between the Lords and Commons until its final form can be agreed, will have to be postponed for a while.
The opportunity for the Commons to accept or - more likely - reject the changes made by peers will be blocked by the debate on the Budget, which will occupy the Commons into the following week.
So there will be a week or more for the pressure to build on MPs before they vote on the issue - and during the interval the Commons Brexit Select Committee will publish a report on the rights of UK and EU citizens (on Sunday) in good time to influence the vote.
It's a sign of the times that Brexit could eclipse what's normally a highlight of the Parliamentary year, but there will be plenty to watch out for in what will be the last full-scale budget in March. Next year it will be downgraded to a mere "Spring Statement" with the Budget moving to the autumn.
First up the forecasts for government debt, with the Treasury continuing to seek further austerity savings across government. Second, whether there will be an injection of extra funds to defuse the row over business rates, and third, whether the government will put more money into adult social care, and maybe even signal a long term review of the system.
The Westminster buzz is that the public finances are in better shape than expected - but that any spare cash will be stashed away in a Brexit war chest, rather than spent now.
Elsewhere, there's important action on the Children and Social Work Bill, where the government has delighted cross-party campaigners by bringing forward amendments to make relationship educations (emphatically not sex education) compulsory at primary school level.
Cross-party pressure from family values campaigners like the influential Conservative backbencher, David Burrowes, and supporters of extended sex education like the Women and Equalities Committee Chair, Maria Miller, and Labour's Sarah Champion, appears to have secured its goal.
Both groups were persuaded that a new approach was needed to tackle the problem of sexting and sexual harassment in schools.
And the government may also be tested on a couple of issues on the Higher Education Bill, where there are two days of Report Stage consideration in the Lords.
The Commons opens at 14.30 BST with Home Office Questions - and then watch out for any ministerial statements or urgent questions at 3.30.
In particular, the Culture Secretary Karen Bradley is expected to update MPs on the proposed merger between Sky and 21st Century Fox, which has now been formally notified to the European Commission.
An earlier attempt at this was withdrawn during the 2010 Parliament, in the wake of the hacking scandal, and the issue remains highly sensitive.
She must decide by 17 March 17 whether to ask the regulator, Ofcom, to carry out a public interest test.
Then MPs move on to the Second Reading debate of the Vehicle Technology and Aviation Bill - this aims, among other things, to create a legal framework for insuring automated vehicles, because at the moment the law does not provide for them, require fuel retailers to provide charge points for electric cars, and create a new criminal offence of shining a laser at any means of transport.
There's also a separate draft bill to create a UK spaceport, which will go out for pre-legislative scrutiny by the Commons Science and Technology Committee.
In Westminster Hall at 16.30 GMT MPs debate e-petition 129823 which says that dress code laws should be changed so that women have the option to wear flat formal shoes at work, if they wish, arguing that "current formal work dress codes are out-dated and sexist".
In the Lords at 14.30 GMT the usual half hour of questions to ministers is followed by the first Report Stage day on the Higher Education and Research Bill. Expect votes on tiered Higher Educational establishments - gold, silver, bronze universities.
Watch out too for a short debate on recent legislation on assisted dying in North America; and whether those laws provide an appropriate basis for legislation in England and Wales, led by Labour's Baroness Jay of Paddington.
This suggests that the Lords assisted dying lobby have not entirely given up following the defeat of Rob Marris's bill in the Commons, last year.
MPs begin at 11.30 GMT with Justice Questions, followed by a Ten Minute Rule Bill on the Queen's Sapphire Jubilee from the Conservative, Andrew Rosindell.
The day's main event is the Report stage of the Children and Social Work Bill (see above). The Conservative Sir Edward Leigh has fired in an amendment to the sex and relationship education proposals, to allow a parent to request that their child be wholly or partly excused.
Labour MPs are also proposing new clauses to ensure that children in care are allowed reasonable contact with their siblings, and to revoke provisions in the Bill that enable local authorities in England and Wales to place children in secure accommodation in Scotland, and vice versa.
There are a battery of amendments on child safeguarding issues including a big cross-party amendment on requiring regular reports by local councils on their ability to provide proper safeguarding services for children.
In Westminster Hall, the debates are on: beer duty (9.30 GMT); the Coast to Coast Walk (11.00 GMT); the O'Neill review into antibiotic resistance (14.30 GMT); the sale of student loans (16.00 GMT) and social care in Liverpool (16.30 GMT).
My Committee pick is the Home Affairs session, with Rob Wainwright, the Director of Europol on policing and security issues across the EU and Britain's role, post-Brexit (14.15 GMT).
This is a key Brexit issue, and one where the Prime Minister has made clear her enthusiasm for continued British participation in Europol.
In the Lords, peers open for business at the earlier than usual time of 11.00 GMT to provide extra debating time for the Report Stage consideration of the European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Bill - breaking off, briefly, at 14.30 GMT for their usual half an hour of questions to ministers.
After the Report Stage, three hours of Brexit breathing space is provided while the amended version of the Bill is knocked into shape. During this interval there will be a 90 minute debate on the economic and environmental benefits of shale gas development in the UK, led by the former trade minister Lord Truscott.
And then there may be an adjournment for a while, before peers can return to the European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Bill, for the Third Reading debate. This is normally a rather sonorous formality, but may not be on this occasion....
The Commons opens at 11.30 GMT with Welsh Questions followed by Prime Minister's Questions at noon. And then it's onto the Budget (see above).
The day's Westminster Hall debates are on: financial support for apprentices (9.30 GMT); compensation and the Pandemrix vaccine (11 GMT); the proposed ban on microbeads (14.30 GMT); extension of the right to buy to tenants of housing associations in Bedford (16.00 GMT) and broadband speeds (16.30 GMT).
In the Lords at 16.00 GMT it's the second Report Stage day on the Higher Education and Research Bill. There will also be a short debate on the UK's exports strategy.
MPs open at 09.30 GMT with Exiting the European Union Questions, followed by the weekly Business Statement from the Leader of the House - before moving on to day two of the Budget debate.
In Westminster Hall, from 13.30 GMT, there's a debate on the Scottish Affairs Select Committee report on the Demography of Scotland and the implications for devolution.
This looks at the policy problems posed by the combination of Scotland's slower population growth, its ageing population and lower life expectancy, particularly for health and care services, potentially increasing the demands on NHS Scotland and Scottish social care services in the future.
At 15.00 GMT the subject is human rights and the political situation in Turkey.
In the Lords at 13.00 GMT, the main event is the Second Reading of the Criminal Finances Bill which aims to tackle money laundering, terrorist finance and corruption the UK and overseas, in the wake of the Panama papers revelations of industrial scale tax avoidance.
The National Crime Agency estimates that up to £90bn may be laundered in the UK each year. The Bill was criticised in the Commons for failing to include penalties for companies which permitted their staff to facilitate money laundering, or do more to reveal the beneficial owners of assets, or deal with the lack of corporate transparency in Britain's crown dependencies and overseas territories.
That is followed be a debate to mark International Women's Day.
The Lords meets at 10.00 GMT to debate the detail of a series of private members bills from the Commons. First up will be the Second Reading of the Preventing and Combating Violence Against Women and Domestic Violence Bill - which incorporates the Istanbul Convention into UK law.
Next the Committee stage of the Homelessness Reduction Bill - which puts new obligations on local councils to help and advise people who have lost their homes or are in danger of doing so. Then there's the Committee stage of the completely uncontroversial Parking Places (Variation of Charges) Bill - which gives local authorities more flexibility over parking charges.
And finally there's a Second Reading debate on the Political Parties (Funding and Expenditure) private members' Bill [HL] from the Lib Dem, Lord Tyler.
Just as the Lib Dems overtook Labour in donations for the first time ever in the final quarter of 2016, his Bill would gradually take down the maximum amount a political party can accept from any one person in a year to £10,000 by 2026. | Having amended the government's Brexit Bill by a thumping majority this week, the big question for next week in Westminster is whether peers will do it again, potentially more than once. | 39154215 | [

Dr Sarandev Bhambra was singled out by Zack Davies who was heard saying "white power" during the machete attack at the store in Mold, Flintshire, in January.
An ex-soldier rescued the victim.
Davies, 26, of Mold, was convicted of attempted murder at the town's crown court in June and on Friday was told he must serve at least 14 years in prison.
Judge Rhys Rowlands said Davies had developed "extreme racist views" and had been plotting to carry out a "murderous attack" in order to draw attention to himself.
He said it was a "planned and racially motivated attack", as Dr Bhambra watched proceedings during his first appearance at the court in Mold.
Speaking outside court, the victim said Davies was a "coward".
"He attacked me from behind and tried to behead me," Dr Bhambra said. "By the grace of God I remained conscious and was able to defend myself.
"It is abhorrent that he has claimed that he tried to kill me in Lee Rigby's honour."
During the trial, the court heard Dr Bhambra had been walking down an aisle in the store on 14 January when he felt a "huge blow" to the back of his head from the 30cm (12in) machete.
Shopper Leanne Jones said she heard the words "white power" and that Davies was acting "like a lunatic" as he hacked Dr Bhambra with the machete.
Another witness heard Davies say: "Come here, this is for Lee Rigby".
The attack left Dr Bhambra, a 25-year-old dentist from Leeds, with two deep cuts to his scalp and another to his back, which went down to the muscle.
An injury to his left hand caused major nerve, artery and tendon damage, leaving him in need of surgery for five hours.
If it was not for the "remarkably brave actions" of soldier Peter Fuller, who came to his defence, Dr Bhambra would have been "killed in front of many shoppers", Judge Rowlands said.
The trial heard items associated with white supremacy and Nazism were found at Davies's home, including banners, swastika badges and Combat 18 stickers.
He also said he was "absolutely fascinated" with Islamic State and described the British man known as Jihadi John as his inspiration.
Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale were jailed for life in February 2014 for hacking Fusilier Rigby to death.
After the trial concluded, Dr Bhambra's brother, Dr Tarlochan Singh Bhambra, said his family had "no doubt" that, had the "racial disposition" of the case been reversed, it would have been reported as an "act of terror".
Det Ch Insp Alun Oldfield from North Wales Police said: "This was a horrific attack and we are pleased with the sentence given to Davies.
"North Wales Police would like to commend the character and determination of Dr Bhambra and we are delighted that he is making such a good recovery.
"We also applaud the actions of Mr Peter Fuller, who has since been nominated for a national bravery award." | A neo-Nazi has been jailed for life for attempting to behead a Tesco shopper in a racially-motivated revenge attack for the murder of Fusilier Lee Rigby. | 34218184 | [

Healthcare Improvement Scotland said several senior charge nurses and clinical service managers across three wards raised issues during an inspection visit.
NHS Grampian was asked to supply an improvement action plan.
Senior inspector Ian Smith said the action plan had given "assurance".
He added: "We will continue to follow this up with NHS Grampian on future inspections."
The inspection visit took place in April, as part of Healthcare Improvement Scotland's programme of inspections on the standard of care for older people in acute care in Scotland.
It was to check that older people were being "treated with compassion, dignity and respect".
NHS Grampian was said to be "performing well" in a number of areas.
An NHS Grampian spokesperson said: "We welcome this positive report which highlights the many examples of good practice in the care of older people in hospital, particularly the compassion, dignity and respect with which our patients are treated.
"We are also pleased that 93% of the patients surveyed said that the quality of care they received was good, reflecting the warm and caring interaction observed by the inspectors between staff and patients.
"The areas for improvement identified in the report are already being tackled, and an action plan has been agreed.
"Although acknowledging that patient care was not compromised, the inspectors asked that staffing levels in three wards be addressed." | NHS Grampian is trying to improve staffing levels at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary after concerns were raised by staff. | 22937281 | [

Several thousand people filed through Independence Square, still full of barricades and memorials to more than 80 people killed last month by snipers.
And the government announced plans to recruit 10,000 people within the next 15 days for its new National Guard.
"People will have the opportunity to defend the country," interim Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk told a cabinet meeting.
He also promised that "separatist ringleaders" who were trying to destroy Ukrainian independence would be held to account.
"We will find all of them… and bring them to justice and try them in Ukrainian and international courts," he said.
"The ground will burn beneath their feet."

Law and order breakdown
Is Russian intervention legal?
But the truth is that there is little that the authorities here can do without significant outside help. Just as they are watching closely for the next move from Moscow, so they are expecting action from their Western allies.
And the drumbeat of diplomacy has certainly not faded.
Both the United States and the European Union have made it clear again that the referendum in Crimea is "illegal and illegitimate and its outcome will not be recognised."
When EU foreign ministers meet in Brussels on Monday, they are expected to extend sanctions against Russia - including asset freezes and travel bans against named individuals.
UK Foreign Secretary William Hague said Russia must now face "economic and political consequences".
But there are still different opinions within Europe about how wide-ranging the list of names should be.
One possibility is that an announcement in Brussels on Monday will focus on officials in Crimea itself, with the threat of imposing similar measures against senior figures in Moscow held in reserve.
Many Western diplomats are waiting to see exactly how Russia will respond to the result of the referendum. The Russian parliament is due to consider the proposal for Crimea to rejoin Russia on 21 March.
But for anyone looking for compromise, the signs aren't good. President Vladimir Putin told the German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Sunday that Russia would respect the choice of the residents of Crimea.
And he expressed concern about the escalation of tension in eastern Ukraine by "radical groups with the connivance of the authorities in Kiev".
US Secretary of State John Kerry spoke by phone with his Russian counterpart, Sergei Lavrov, as voting in Crimea was under way.
A senior State Department official said Mr Kerry told Mr Lavrov that the crisis in Crimea could only be resolved politically, through reform of the Ukrainian constitution.
But while Western officials have not given up on diplomacy, there are few illusions about Moscow's position.
And if President Putin chose to move Russian forces into parts of eastern Ukraine, under whatever pretext, this crisis would move into a new and far more dangerous phase.
For now, the government in Kiev can only watch and wait, and hope that Western promises of massive financial assistance materialise soon.
There is a feeling here that as well as threatening Ukraine's security and territorial integrity, Russia wants to undermine the viability of the new government, and bring this country close to collapse.
The real issue for Moscow may not be Crimea. It may be the long-term example that a westward-leaning democratic Ukraine could set in Russia itself. | As voters cast their ballots in Crimea, the mood in Kiev was downbeat: anxiety, mixed with defiance. | 26605862 | [

In Mid Dorset and North Poole, Conservative Michael Tomlinson beat Vikki Slade - a seat which had been held by Lib Dem Annette Brooke.
The Tories held Bournemouth East and West, Christchurch, Dorset West, North and South and Poole.
Tobias Ellwood was re-elected in Bournemouth East.
After the count, which saw the Conservatives cross the finishing line with a 14,612 majority, Mr Ellwood said: "Two Conservative MPs return to Westminster, we're both elated."
He said he aimed to support tourism in the town and would be tackling the "big challenge" of the proposed Navitus Bay wind farm.
The former coalition partners lost 22.5% of their vote in that constituency.
Ms Slade, the Lib Dem candidate who failed to hold on to her party's seat, tweeted: "I am looking for a job! Will consider anything that my skills fit..Please pass to anyone who may be looking!"
Her CV lists dinghy sailing among her interests.
Richard Drax will be returning to Parliament after winning the Dorset South seat with 23,756 votes over Labour's Simon Bowkett's 11,762.
Conor Burns held the seat of Bournemouth West with 20,155 votes and Christopher Chope retained Christchurch for the Conservatives with 28,887.
UKIP came second in both of these constituencies. | The Conservative Party has taken all seats across Dorset, claiming the one Liberal Democrat-held seat in the county. | 32639377 | [

The 28-year-old, who won Olympic bronze in 2012, cleared 2.33m to finish second behind Italian Gianmarco Tamberi.
Team captain Asha Philip was fifth in the women's 60m but Dina Asher-Smith suffered a minor hamstring injury in her semi-final and missed the final.
And Lynsey Sharp and Adelle Tracey both failed to reach the 800m final.
Sharp, the European and Commonwealth silver medallist, finished second in her heat, but her time of two minutes, 02.75 seconds was not quick enough to progress as a fastest loser.
"Even though it may not look like it was a success, to me it was because I've learned a lot," said the Scot.
In May 2014, Grabarz questioned his future in the sport after a knee operation left him jumping, in his words, "like a 16-year-old girl" and that failing to clear 1.80m on his return to training was "the most depressing day of his life".
However, a first-time clearance of 2.33m saw him beat Erik Kynard, the man who won silver at the London Olympics, on countback.
"I'm ecstatic, I just can't quite believe it," he said after winning Britain's third medal of the Championships.
"If someone said I'd get that result two years ago I wouldn't have believed it, I would have bitten their hand off."

American Barbara Pierre won the women's 60m title in 7.02secs - 0.02 ahead of Dutch favourite Dafne Schippers.
Philip crossed the line in 7.14 seconds to miss out on a medal.
"I'm gutted," she said. "I came here for a medal, I wanted a medal. I came fifth and I didn't run a personal best or a season's best."
Asher-Smith's withdrawal from the final was a precautionary move, given the Rio Olympics are only five months away.
American Ashton Eaton won his third successive heptathlon title to add to the pentathlon title won by his Canadian wife Brianne Theisen-Eaton the day before.
It makes them the first married couple to win gold medals at the same world championships.
"I was thinking it doesn't matter what happens to me," said Eaton, who was born and lives in Portland.
"Brianne is the one that stole the show. I am really happy about that and proud of her," he added of his wife, who finally ended a frustrating run of second-place finishes at major championships.
Eaton's winning total of 6,470 points in the seven-event competition was 188 clear of nearest rival Oleksiy Kasyanov of Ukraine.
Meanwhile, in a meeting in Slovakia, Tom Bosworth broke the 20km walk British record, finishing in one hour 20 minutes and 41 seconds.
The 26-year-old Briton took one minute 22 seconds off the previous best, set by Ian McCombie in 1988. | Robbie Grabarz won high jump silver on another otherwise disappointing day for British athletes at the World Indoor Championships in Portland. | 35853951 | [

Credit rating agencies, in essence, rate a country on the strength of its economy.
More specifically, they score governments (or large companies) on how likely they are to pay back their debt.
A rating affects how much it costs governments to borrow money in the international financial markets. In theory, a high credit rating means a lower interest rate (and vice versa).
This is because of concerns at the impact that leaving the European Union may have on the UK economy. Moody's warned that the referendum result may have "negative implications for the country's medium-term growth outlook".
In addition to Moody's, the other two main credit rating agencies are Standard & Poor's and Fitch Ratings.
All three are private companies, not government agencies. Moody's and Standard & Poor's both have their headquarters in New York, while Fitch has two official HQs, one in New York and the other in London.
Each agency gives countries around the world a specific credit rating score. These range from a top mark of "AAA", which stands for "prime", down to the lowest reading of "D", which stands for "in default".
In between there are scores such as "BBB" or "CC". Moody's has at total of 21 ratings.
The agencies also give outlook-assessments. These are either "positive", "stable", or "negative". They indicate whether the agency in question thinks it may soon raise its rating (positive), downgrade it (negative), or leave it the same (stable) for the country in question.
In the case of Moody's and the UK, the agency currently scores the UK at "Aa1", the second highest rating on its scale, which stands for "high grade".
Yet, while Moody's previously saw no change to that Aa1 rating, it has now warned that it may lower it.
A country's credit rating can affect how much it costs a governments to borrow money on the global markets.
More specifically, the worse a nation's credit rating, the more likely it is that the country in question has to offer a higher rate of return on its bonds in other to persuade people and financial institutions to buy them.
This is because the lower a country's credit rating, the more the agencies are concerned about its economy, and in turn the taxes that the government in question can raise. Ratings can be a warning system for potential investors, and make it more expensive for poorly-rated nations to borrow money.
Although Moody's is the first of the big three ratings agencies to make an official change to its position on the UK post-referendum, the Financial Times reported on Friday that Standard & Poor's considers its current top rating for the UK as "no longer tenable".
Currently S&P rates the UK as AAA (negative), while Fitch Ratings' score is AA+ (stable). For Fitch, AA+ is its second-highest score.
They have committees of experts who determine the actually rating for each country or large company. S&P says its committees typically consist of between five and eight people.
They base their assessment on a range of financial and business factors that may influence a government or company's ability to repay its debt, such as the UK voting to leave the European Union, or a business announcing a huge loss.
Standard & Poor's is the oldest. It traces its history back to 1860 when financial analyst Henry Poor wrote a history of the finances of railroads and canals in the US as a guide for investors.
He then formed a business called HV and HW Poor.
Meanwhile, the Standard Statistics Bureau was set up in 1906 to examine the finances of non-railroad companies.
The two businesses joined forces in 1940 when S&P was formed.
Moody's was started in 1909 by John Moody, who published an analysis of the tangled and uncertain world of railway finances, grading the value of its stocks and bonds.
Fitch, with another eponymous founder, John Fitch, was set up in 1913.
There are hosts of other ratings agencies, but S&P, Moody's and Fitch have about 95% of the global market.
S&P and Moody's have about 40% each, while Fitch has around 15%.
They are so dominant because they were the first to be officially endorsed by the US financial watchdog, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
In 1975, the SEC acknowledged the three as "Nationally Recognised Statistical Organisations".
So a rating from any of the three is considered to be the gold standard.
They charge companies for their ratings - it's as simple as that.
This has led to critics suggesting that the agencies are tempted to give firms over-generous scores in order to win repeat business, something they all strenuously deny.
They were indeed, for giving top AAA ratings to debt packages that turned out to include billions of dollars of bad US mortgages.
When the US homeowners in question started to default on their repayments it sparked the financial crisis.
The credit rating agencies were heavily criticised by politicians, and had to settle a number of lawsuits. | Moody's, one of the big three credit ratings agencies, has cut its outlook for the UK economy from "stable" to "negative". | 36629099 | [

After the League Two side's bright start, two quick goals from Diafra Sakho and Andre Ayew gave the Premier League side control before half-time.
Sakho slotted in his first goal since November from Sam Byram's pass, before Ayew tucked into the same bottom corner moments later.
The hosts went close via Harry Pell's volley and Jordon Forster's header.
James Collins and Byram both could have added further goals for the visitors, who made seven changes following top-flight losses at Manchester United and Southampton.
The best moment for Cheltenham, who were unchanged from Saturday's 3-0 league defeat by Carlisle, came with Pell's low volley across goal, but onrushing substitute Dan Holman could not quite get the required touch as he slid in at the far post.
The two sides' only previous meeting came at the same stage of this competition four years ago, resulting in a narrow 2-1 win for Hammers at their old home Upton Park.
The fourth-tier side performed respectfully again on Wednesday, but did not sufficiently test Hammers goalkeeper Adrian.
Slaven Bilic's side could have won by a greater margin, but Robins captain Kyle Storer cleared Angelo Ogbonna's fierce header off the line in the first half and, moments later, keeper Jonathan Flatt did well to stop Sakho turning in Ayew's low cross.
Cheltenham's exit ended League Two's representation in the EFL Cup before Thursday's third-round draw.

The Who also took to Twitter to offer their "condolences to the family and friends" of the British guitarist.
Rock star Peter Frampton and Parfitt's friend, the broadcaster Chris Tarrant, were among the others paying respects.
Parfitt died in hospital in Spain, from a severe infection following complications to a shoulder injury.
His partnership with Francis Rossi spanned five decades, making Status Quo one of British rock's most enduring acts.
'He was a mechanic and I was the receptionist': Your memories of Rick Parfitt
Parfitt had suffered a series of health problems including having to undergo a quadruple heart bypass in 1997. In October, he said he would no longer be performing with his band after suffering from a heart attack in the summer.
But he had been due to launch a solo career with an album and autobiography planned for 2017.
In a statement on the band's website, his manager Simon Porter said Parfitt been admitted to hospital on Thursday.
His family was "truly devastated" to announce he had passed away in Marbella at lunchtime on Saturday, he said.
"He will be sorely missed by his family, friends, fellow band members, management, crew and his dedicated legion of fans from throughout the world, gained through 50 years of monumental success with Status Quo."
In a later update, Porter thanked people for their messages of sympathy and support.
"Rick had come to terms that he would be unable to tour with Quo again, but he continued to be very much part of the Quo machine and we discussed future plans for the band," he said.
He added: "I really think that we all thought that Rick was invincible, given his numerous and astounding recoveries from situations which would certainly have killed the average human being.
"Indeed, early this morning when I initially heard the news that he had taken a serious turn, my mind instantly thought that he would come around by Boxing Day...
"Quo fans should know and take comfort in the fact that his passing has, ironically, come at a time when Rick was in a happier place career wise than he had been for a long, long, time."
Parfitt is survived by his wife Lyndsay, their twins Tommy and Lily, and his adult children Rick Jnr and Harry, a statement from the family said.
Rick Jnr tweeted: "I cannot describe the sadness I feel right now. To many he was a rock star, to me he was simply 'Dad', and I loved him hugely. RIP Pappa Parf."
Drummer Jeff Rich, who played in Status Quo with Parfitt for 16 years, told the BBC he was "just a really good musician, very under-rated, great rhythm player", but his health problems were "a big issue for him".
He added: "When he had the last heart attack and he almost died a few months ago, I had a feeling that he wouldn't survive very long but in the back of your mind there's always this thing thinking maybe he's going to be alright now - but when I got the phone call, you know I was really upset."
Broadcaster Chris Tarrant, who knew Parfitt for more than 40 years, said: "I am truly shattered to have this news. We all honestly felt that he was getting strong again.
"Rick was the ultimate rock and roller. He lived and died as he wanted to... the world is a sadder and poorer place without him".
Status Quo found global success with hits including Rockin' All Over The World and Whatever You Want.
Queen guitarist Brian May tweeted: "Shocked and so sad to hear of the passing of Rick Parfitt. Hard to find words, You truly joyfully rocked our world. RIP dear buddy."
Peter Frampton said he was "so sad" to hear the news.
Meanwhile, Former Ultravox frontman Midge Ure wrote on Twitter: "Dreadfully sad. Lovely man. Thoughts go out to his family and friends."
Ure co-organised Live Aid in 1985, which was memorably opened by the Quo performing Rockin' All Over The World.

With his flowing blond locks, denim gear and Fender Telecaster, Rick Parfitt was one of rock's most recognisable guitarists.
His partnership with Francis Rossi became the core of Status Quo, one of Britain's most enduring bands.
Their brand of boogie-woogie rock survived changes in musical fashion and made them one of the best-loved live acts of their generation.
As well as driving the Quo sound on stage, Parfitt penned many of the band's biggest hits.

Many other musicians paid tribute on Twitter.
Chas and Dave, who toured with Status Quo in 2014, tweeted: "Very shocked and saddened to hear of the passing of our friend Rick Parfitt".
Rock band Uriah Heep tweeted: "Such devastating news that Rick Parfitt has passed away. Rick left a musical legacy that has given such joy to everyone around the world."
Def Leppard frontman Joe Elliott wrote: "R.I.P. @Status_Quo's Rick Parfitt - We grew up on Status Quo as kids & have a great respect for them & their legacy.. - Joe".
Novelist Ian Rankin wrote that he would be "playing air guitar" in memory of Parfitt.
In 2015, the band passed a milestone achieved by only a handful of musicians, spending a total of 500 weeks in the UK album charts.
Status Quo superfan and secretary of the band's official fan club Yvonne Hanvey told the BBC: "It's just absolutely devastating.
"We knew it would happen at some point. It does with everybody obviously, but Rick was almost invincible.
"He believed he was invincible. And this is just absolutely unbelievable." | Queen guitarist Brian May has paid tribute to Status Quo star Rick Parfitt following his death aged 68, saying he had "truly joyfully rocked our world". | 38429471 | [

Around 150 countries are meeting in Kigali to try and agree a speedy ban on hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) gases.
HFCs were introduced to limit damage to the ozone layer, but cause much greater levels of global warming than CO2.
However nations are divided over the speed and timing of any phase-out.
Concern over a growing hole in the ozone layer above Antarctica saw the Montreal Protocol agreed back in 1987.
The key aim was the removal of gases called chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) which scientists had determined were causing the destruction of ozone, which protects people and animals from the dangerous impacts of ultraviolet radiation.
Found in hairsprays, refrigeration and air conditioning, CFCs were ultimately replaced by factory-made hydrofluorocarbons, which essentially do the same job but without the damage to the Earth's protective layer.
The substitution worked. Earlier this year, scientists said that the ozone hole is showing "the first fingerprints of healing."
There has been just one unfortunate side effect caused by the solution.
HFCs are several thousand times better at retaining heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide. HFCs have helped the ozone layer, but exacerbated global warming.
As well as being destructive, they are also the fastest growing greenhouse gases - increasing demand for air conditioning in emerging economies has seen the use of HFCs up by 10-15% per year.
Scientists, through the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), have warned about the warming dangers of HFCs.
Unusually, governments took heed and have sought an international approach to phase out all these chemicals.
This move has been given added urgency in the wake of the Paris climate agreement, which aims to keep temperature rises this century well below 2C and as close as possible to 1.5C.
The scale of HFC growth is adding greater urgency say experts. After a year of negotiations, an amendment to the Montreal Protocol to phase out these chemicals is expected to be agreed at this meeting in Kigali.
"It's a big piece, these are the fastest growing greenhouse gases right now, although they are still a small percentage," said Durwood Zaelke, from the Institute for Government and Sustainable Development (IGSD).
"But an amendment could bend the curve down quickly and take out 100 billion tonnes of CO2 equivalent by mid century, and by the end of the century you'll avoid up to half a degree of warming."
There are dozens of replacement gases emerging including natural alternatives like ammonia, hydrocarbons and ironically, CO2. Refrigerators based on these coolants are already available in some developed countries.
A new generation of short-lived refrigerant chemicals called Hydrofluoroolefins (HFOs) are also coming on stream.
However countries meeting here in Kigali are divided over the speed at which existing HFCs should be phased out.
Around 100 nations including the US, EU, African and island states are pushing for a peak in their use by 2021. India, a large manufacturer of the gases, favours a much later date of 2031.
"The Montreal Protocol has a good track record of getting things done quickly and efficiently," said Gaby Drinkwater from Christian Aid.
"We would hope that there would be an ambitious baseline and an early freeze date for all parties concerned. The earlier the freeze date the better for the planet."
There is a lot to play for. An early peak means a far greater impact on temperatures - but it will cost a lot more in funding to help poorer nations adapt. The hope is that by having an early phase down, emerging economies will not take intermediate steps but go for the most advanced and sustainable options.
Unusually, industry and environmental campaigners are fairly well aligned on the need for an early phase out. Governments and private donors are willing to step into the breach and last month offered $80m to speed the transition.
There is also a hope that newer coolants will also spark more efficient cooling devices.
"If you increase the efficiency of your room air conditioner, you can double the climate benefits of HFC phase down," said Durwood Zaelke.
"So private funders have said this is a very good opportunity, and they have put together a fund that is designed to be a bridge to greater sources of funding."
Ministers arrive in Rwanda on Thursday to lead the negotiations to a conclusion. There is still much detail to be agreed. However, in the light of the imminent ratification of the Paris agreement, and a new deal on aviation emissions, there is added pressure for the Kigali talks to succeed.
"A meeting like this has its ups and downs, we will go through that cycle," said Durwood Zaelke.
"We just want to land on the up, that's the key."

The blaze started at the ICL UK Boulby mine at 00:30 BST on 13 April, 1,100m (3,600 ft) under the sea bed and five miles (8km) from land.
Seven workers were taken to hospital and treated for smoke inhalation.
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) said a notice had been served in relation to the underground fire.
More than 100 staff were underground at the time, 11 of whom were temporarily unaccounted for.
Polystyrene blocks are believed to have caught fire in the mine.
A spokesman for ICL UK, said: "We have been working closely with HM Mines Inspectorate in the investigation into the recent incident.
"Safety is always our first priority and we are fully committed to working with the inspectorate in order to identify ways in which procedures can be improved.
"We will, of course comply with all the measures set out in the improvement notice."
The company has until 27 June to comply with the notice.
The HSE said the investigation was ongoing.
One of Europe's deepest mines, the site employs about 1,100 people.
Last year, the company announced it was shedding hundreds of jobs as part of a "new business strategy" to produce fertiliser polysulphate. | A potash mine in East Cleveland has been issued with an improvement notice after a fire broke out hundreds of metres below the sea bed. | 36211103 | [

Det Ch Supt David Sandall said it was proving an "extremely traumatic time for her parents" and they are now treating the disappearance of the 15-year-old, from Measham, as murder.
The teenager has not been seen since about 18:00 GMT on Friday when she was dropped off outside Ibstock Community College.
Two men, aged 27 and 28, who were arrested on Monday on suspicion of kidnap have been re-arrested on suspicion of murder.

Well, the Kanneh-Mason family are very special - they all play an instrument to a very high level.
Their house can get pretty loud with all six bothers and sisters practicing at once.
Why are all the siblings so into playing musical instruments?
Ayshah has been to meet them. | After school some of you might like to play musical instruments, but can you imagine coming from a home where everyone is a top musician? | 38711872 | [

The 33-year-old Celtic playmaker lasted the full game as the Championship leaders drew 1-1 at Morton.
Commons' deal at Easter Road expires on 15 January and he would not be drawn on the possibility of extending his stay.
"I've got no plans for January or the end of the season. I'm not looking that far," he told BBC Scotland.
"It's four weeks here, then we'll see what happens. I'm contracted to Celtic until the end of June.
"I know they are heading in a different direction and I'll be knocking on the door of 34 next year.
"For me, it's about playing on for as long as I can.
"I'm very comfortable in Glasgow. My kids are in school and it's been our home for the last six years now so it is difficult to leave."
Commons has not featured at all for Celtic since Brendan Rodgers took over as manager in the summer and enjoyed playing on a smaller stage than he has been used to with the Scottish champions.
"It was nice just to get back out there," he said. "I felt like I was fit enough to get through the game but certainly cramping up towards the end.
"There's a different feel to it, Championship football.
"But the boys have been magic, I got a tremendous welcome from the fans and the manager knows what I'm capable of."
Hibs head coach Neil Lennon signed Commons for Celtic in 2011, with the player going on to win five titles, two Scottish Cups and a League Cup.
"He got better as the game went on," Lennon said of the new arrival's debut in front of 2,156 fans at Cappielow. "He started finding more space.
"It's a tight pitch and it was congested in the midfield area.
"It took a while to get going but he'll feel the benefit of the 90 minutes."
Midfielder John McGinn, currently recovering from ankle surgery, hopes Hibs can persuade Commons to prolong his loan next month.
"It is a tremendous signing for us," he told BBC Scotland. "He has been a top player in this country for a few years and someone who I feel could still play for the Celtic first team.
"Hopefully we can make him feel as welcome as possible and, if he enjoys it, he can stay until the end of the season." | Kris Commons insists he is not looking beyond his emergency loan move to Hibernian after making his first appearance in 10 months. | 38357552 | [

The privy at Brodsworth Hall, near Doncaster, South Yorkshire, was originally built in the 1860s.
In its heyday, its contents, dubbed "night soil", were emptied daily and spread on the gardens by staff.
English Heritage, which now runs the site, said the privy had been restored to its former glory.
More on this and other local stories from across Yorkshire
English Heritage's Kendra Grahame-Clarke said the privy was restored using archival information found at the hall, and is now "one of the poshest outdoor privies in the country".
She said although the facility does not have running water, it features a hole under the seat which can be accessed by a trapdoor allowing "a servant/gardener to collect and spread the night soil at dusk".
The toilet is in its own "secret garden" and also features a pagoda-style roof and pergola trellis.
The original toilet, built by George Ball for three pounds and five shillings, was surrounded by heavily scented blooms, and provided a respite for members of the Thellusson family, who lived at the house. | An outdoor privy is being hailed as "one of the poshest in the country" after being restored at a Victorian country house. | 39802933 | [

Language was spelled "langauge" in the original release, put out on Thursday.
But it was corrected by officials after Twitter users ridiculed the error.
BBC Radio 4 presenter Anita Anand said it was "beyond parody" that the Home Office could not spell language in a note to migrants who have been told to learn English.
A Home Office spokesman said: "This was a regrettable typographical error that has now been corrected."
On Monday, Prime Minister David Cameron announced a £20m fund to teach Muslim women in the UK to speak English, claiming it would help tackle segregation and help them resist the lure of extremism.
But some Muslims have accused him of wrongly conflating the two issues.
Mr Cameron said all those who entered the UK on the five-year spousal settlement programme - not just Muslim women - would have to sit language tests after two and a half years.
Thursday's press release said the new requirement would not be implemented before October 2016, with the precise timing and further details to be confirmed by the Home Office "in the next few weeks". | Red-faced officials at the Home Office have been forced to correct a spelling error in a press release about new English language tests for migrants. | 35381365 | [

Then 27, he was resigned to hanging up his spikes. The injuries were too frequent, the fractions of seconds he sought too elusive. He had had enough of fighting on two fronts.
He decided to concentrate solely on a bobsleigh career in which he had already represented Great Britain at the Winter Olympics in Sochi in 2014.
Less potential glory perhaps, but more financial security.
"My heart had taken enough beating, enough disappointment," he told BBC Sport.
"I would have left the sport if it wasn't for my beautiful wife and coach. They had more belief in me than I had."
It proved well founded.
Two weeks after they persuaded him to give athletics one last fling, Fearon dropped a performance as jaw-dropping as anything seen a few weeks later at Rio 2016.
With Team GB's Olympians holed up at a training camp in Belo Horizonte, Fearon tore to victory in the 100m in the English Championships, clocking 9.96 seconds.
It was faster than any other Briton ran in 2017, and a time bettered by only Linford Christie and James Dasaolu in the history of British sprinting.
It may be the shortest distance on the ticket, but Fearon had taken the long route.
In the immediate aftermath of finishing fifth in the four-man bobsleigh at Sochi 2014, Fearon forewent the winter sport funding to pursue his sprinting dreams.
He ended up working as a delivery driver as the lack of pennies pinched on his young family.
"I've always got my jobs as a husband and a father," he added.
"The night before Bedford, I forgot to wash the dishes and my wife woke me up at midnight and told me to go and do the washing-up.
"I felt all right, but sub-10? I didn't think that was possible for a guy like me.
"It was only a couple of days later in church that I broke down and understood what it meant in my life.
"I have always been in the background trying to be acknowledged as a sprinter and in that moment I was.
"It was a real breakthrough. I felt like I was a somebody."
But there was to be no late ticket to Brazil. His time - superior to any run by Britain's 100m representatives CJ Ujah, James Ellington and Dasaolu - fell outside the qualification period.
Instead it was back to bobsleigh. While his rivals were laying down early-season markers on the track, Fearon was on the ice.
Racing alongside Bruce Tasker, he finished ninth in the two-man at the World Championships in Germany in February.
Playing catch-up, his best time from four 100m outings this season is a wind-assisted 10.23.
But he still believes he can secure the top-two finish he needs to be on the start line at August's World Championship.
"I am very focused on the Worlds," he said.
"I have had to really believe in myself, push down boundaries and somehow I have ended up here.
"I'm going to relish every opportunity to wear my country's flag."
For Fearon - a man for all seasons - struggle will make success taste all the sweeter.
The 100m preliminary round is at 12:25 BST, the semi-finals are at 15:35 and the final is at 17:20 - all on Saturday. | For a few days last year, Joel Fearon was an ex-athlete. | 40464598 | [

Kelly Mahon, of John Broad Avenue, Arleston, was arrested after the infant was reported missing from his home on 24 February. He was found safe and well the same day.
Mahon, 41, admitted one charge of kidnap at Shrewsbury Crown Court and was remanded in custody.
Judge Robin Onions told the defendant she was likely to receive a custodial sentence "of some length".
During a hearing at Telford Magistrates' Court last month the prosecutor told the court the kidnap had been "pre-planned".
Kelly Crowe told magistrates on 26 February: "When officers go around there (to Mahon's home) a number of baby items were present; cots, clothes, baby clothes, both female and male and also a to-do list.
"She made reference to sterilisers, nappies, and milk for babies."
The case has been adjourned until 12 May. | A woman has admitted kidnapping a nine-week-old baby boy in Telford. | 35918554 | [

Labour's Jeremy Corbyn said there was a "disconnect" between the government's rhetoric and its actions and that HMRC's budget had been cut.
The SNP's Angus Robertson said 10 times more officials were investigating welfare fraud than tax evasion.
The PM said the figure sounded "bogus" and HMRC staff numbers were going up.
The PMQs clash was the first since a huge leak of documents from Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca revealed how some wealthy people use offshore firms to dodge tax and avoid sanctions.
BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg said the tax debate's prominence in the Commons showed how much of a big issue it had been, with opposition parties determined to "hang it around the prime minister".
Mr Corbyn focused all his questions on tax, saying Conservative MEPs have voted against new EU-wide country-by-country reporting measures, while the government had cut tax official jobs and shut down tax offices.
The PM said the new reporting measures were "based on the work we've been doing" and had been proposed by the UK's commissioner, Lord Hill..
The leaders also traded blows over how transparent overseas territories would have to be under the new regime.
Mr Corbyn said the Cayman Islands premier was "celebrating victory" because beneficial ownership information would not be available publicly or directly to UK agencies.
The PM said overseas and crown dependencies would provide beneficial ownership information, but would not make the information public because otherwise some might have "walked away from this co-operation altogether".
Mr Cameron, who has faced questions about his own tax arrangements and his father's offshore investment firm, aimed a joke at Mr Corbyn's recently-released tax return, saying the "late, chaotic, inaccurate and uncosted" document was a metaphor for Labour Party policy.
Mr Corbyn hit back, saying he paid more tax than companies owned by people Mr Cameron "might know quite well".
Green Party MP Caroline Lucas also asked the PM about tax, questioning how effective the investigation into Mossack Fonseca in the UK would be. | The Panama Papers tax revelations dominated Prime Minister's Questions, with David Cameron defending the action taken from opposition attacks. | 36033421 | [

The 23-year-old batsman has set himself two goals; scoring 1,000 first-class runs for the first time in his career and breaking into the county's one-day team.
Wells came close to his first target last season, when he scored 982 Championship runs at an average of 37.76, but he is eager to keep improving.
"I expect a lot from myself because I believe I am a good enough player to deliver bigger and better results," he told BBC Sport.
"Although I have done reasonably well over the last three years I don't feel I have done as well as I could have or should have done.
Statistics correct at 31 May
"I feel my average isn't as high as it should be and that I should have hit 1,000 runs by now.
"You'd rather be expecting more than be satisfied with average results. Moving forward you always have to have the will to improve and exceed expectations.
"I don't put pressure on myself. I just see it as a challenge."
The left-hander believes he should have reached the 1,000-run milestone in 2013.
"If I didn't give away a couple of innings I would have got there," he said.
"I spent my winter in Sydney and definitely improved. I feel I've opened up a few areas through the offside I may not have had previously and am targeting about 1,100 or 1,200 runs.
"The only difference is when you are in and on 40, that you give it away. If you convert those into slightly higher scores, when then there is no reason why you should get out, then I will be at 1,200 runs.
"I feel I am a better player now and I have the mental concentration and the defensive technique to do it."
Ahead of the current match against Nottinghamshire at Hove, Wells had scored 221 runs in his five Championship appearances this season - with his high score of 79 not out coming against Somerset in April.
He admits he is "a fair way" off his target but is keen to contribute to Sussex's title challenge, with the Hove side currently fifth in the Division One table.
I am targeting about 1,100 or 1,200 runs. I feel I am a better player now and I have the mental concentration and the defensive technique to do it
"I feel in really good nick at the moment and that there's a big three-figure score just around the corner," he said.
"I know if I keep doing the same things and backing myself I'll score a good amount of runs.
"It may sound cliched but if I get a thousand runs and we win the title then brilliant. If I get 900 and we win the title I'll take that. As long as the runs I'm scoring are contributing to winning efforts that is most important.
"We have got a strong squad and one hallmark of this season so far is competition for batting spaces. Everyone is under pressure as you know you need to get your runs.
"That is the way it should be in any squad. You shouldn't be able to rest on your laurels as people around you want to take your spot."
The former England Under-19 international, who is the son of former Sussex captain and one-time England Test player Alan, believes his time in Australia has improved his all-round game.
"I had a clear basic goal which was to work on a couple of technical areas to do with my trigger and my stance to be in a better position so that I can move more freely and make me more dynamic at the crease," he said.
"I feel I am a lot quicker on my feet, which will help in all formats of my game. I've worked on shots through the off-side, my one-day skills in general and my fitness."
Wells, meanwhile, describes his efforts to break into Sussex's one-day side as "difficult and frustrating".
The Eastbourne-born player has only made one competitive Twenty20 appearance for the club, coming against Glamorgan in 2011, and has made just a handful of appearances in List A competition.
Sussex have performed strongly in both Twenty20 and 40-over competition in recent years, but made group-stage exits in both formats in 2013.
Wells says the county calendar has not helped his cause but hopes the new schedule, which sees the T20 Blast played throughout the season and the new 50-over One Day Cup played in July and August, could benefit him.
"So far in my career I've started well in four-day competition then T20 comes along, I have a big break in the middle of my season and I try to find a way to keep the momentum going," he said.
"It has been quite hard work. I think this year with the Friday nights will help.
"I've been pushing as hard as I can and have been working a lot on my one-day skills. I can strike a ball as far as anyone in the squad.
"It is just about putting it all together into performances in the middle.
"It is hard with the schedule in and around four-day cricket to find time to play second XI T20 games.
"You need your currency, as it were, to show the coaches that you can do it."
Wells did play five CB40 matches for Sussex last season but only managed to make seven runs in four innings.
"Unfortunately last year I did get a run at the top of the order but I got out," he said.
"They were classic dismissals - a caught behind and a couple of lbws - but that's the way it goes. That is suddenly four games and you haven't scored a run.
"I feel I am in a good place with my game and am offering other skills, not just with my batting. I am determined to get in the side.
"Every year we always push quite hard in one-day competitions and have had quite a lot of success. Last year we didn't have that and I was disappointed to not get a go in a T20 game come the end of the campaign.
"Having said that the team needed its momentum and wanted to go with the same guys, which is absolutely understandable.
"All I can do is put myself in the best possible position that when I do get a chance, to take it." | Luke Wells has established himself in Sussex's County Championship side but is hungry for more. | 27475745 | [

The experimental aircraft, which has a wingspan bigger than a jumbo but weighs little more than a large car, left Nanjing at 02:39 (18:39 GMT).
It is likely to take Mr Borschberg five to six days of continuous flight to reach his central Pacific destination.
He will try to stay awake for much of that time, taking only short catnaps.
His progress will be monitored the entire way from a control room in Monaco.
Meteorologists and flight strategists will constantly update him on the best route to follow.
The journey is the seventh leg in the single-seat, propeller-driven aircraft's quest to circumnavigate the globe using just the energy of the Sun.
The project made steady progress after starting out from Abu Dhabi in March, but was held up for more than a month on China's east coast waiting for the right weather conditions over the ocean.
Solar Impulse needs not only favourable winds to help push it forward, but also clear skies to enable its 17,000 wing-mounted photovoltaic cells to achieve peak performance.
These cells must have the vehicle's lithium-ion batteries fully topped up at dusk to sustain flying through to dawn the next day.
Mr Borschberg is a highly experienced pilot, and as a trained engineer is completely familiar with the plane's systems.
Nonetheless, he is in no doubt how tough the mission will be.
"It's more in the end about myself; it's going to be an inner-voyage," he told the BBC before departure.
"It's going to be a discovery about how I feel and how I sustain myself during these five or six days in the air."
And Bertrand Piccard - who has flown Solar Impulse on other stages of the voyage - told the BBC: "There's one pilot at a time, so the pilot needs to do everything on his own. And it's a very large aeroplane, big wingspans, sensitive to turbulence, flying quite slow.
"So sometimes it's difficult to handle when the air moves. But we have an auto-pilot, we have toilets on board, we have food for days, water reserves and everything, and we are well trained."
The distance to Kalaeloa airport on Hawaii's O'ahu island is more than 8,000km (5,000 miles).
If, early on in the flight, the weather turns bad or he encounters a major technical problem, Mr Borschberg can always choose to turn around and head back to China or Japan.
But there will come a point where that option is denied to him, and Mr Borschberg and his support team have had to prepare for the possibility of ditching in the Pacific if something goes seriously wrong.
The pilot himself would not go down with the plane because of the risk of electrocution once in the water. Instead, he would bail out with a dinghy and wait for a ship to come and pick him up.
If he succeeds in reaching Kalaeloa airport, he will set several aviation records - not least the longest-duration journey for a single-seater plane.
The purpose of the Solar Impulse project is not really to showcase a particular kind of future for aviation, but rather to demonstrate the potential of clean technologies more generally.
LEG 1: 9 March. Abu Dhabi (UAE) to Muscat (Oman) - 441km; in 13 hours and 1 minute

Adrian Ismay, who was 52 and a father of three, was seriously hurt after a booby-trap device exploded under his van in Belfast on 4 March.
"I am personally devastated to hear this news this morning.
"Of course what we must do is support [ Chief Constable] George [Hamilton] and his colleagues to make sure that those who tried to murder this man are brought to justice
"I had been in touch with this prison officer after his trauma and he had indicated that he was doing well and it is just so, so sad to hear this morning that he has passed away."
"I'm deeply saddened that this prison officer has lost his life.
"Obviously first and foremost my thoughts and prayers are with his wife and three daughters
"These are futile acts that will achieve absolutely nothing."
"I am shocked and saddened to hear of the death of this prison officer.
"My thoughts and deepest condolences are with his family."
"A very sad day indeed for Northern Ireland and for everyone who wants to see progress and peace continue.
"Yet another family unnecessarily traumatised and grief brought to bear upon them as a result of people using violence in this way, which is just entirely inexcusable."
"Adrian Ismay gave over 28 years of service to prisons in Northern Ireland and he was greatly respected by all those who knew him.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends and colleagues at this difficult time."
"I am stunned and deeply saddened to learn that the prison officer from my constituency has passed away. It will not just be the people of east Belfast who share in this grief, but everyone in Northern Ireland.
"Mr Ismay has lost his life at the hands of terrorist murderers simply because he chose a career working in the service of our community.
"He was not just a brave and dedicated prison officer, but most importantly he was a loving husband and father."
"The people responsible for this despicable attack must be brought to justice.
"I would again reiterate that the people responsible do not represent wider society. They cannot and will not be allowed to take this society back to the past."
"News of the death of Adrian Ismay, a prison officer who was targeted in a bomb attack in east Belfast last week, is a huge blow to all of us who have stood against those with such murderous intent.
"My thoughts and the thoughts of the SDLP are with Adrian's family and friends at this very difficult time."
"You will have many of the critics of the peace process on the airwaves during the year and then once an attack takes place where somebody is killed or severely injured they disappear.
"They need to come out, they need to explain themselves and they need to be open to challenge."
"Platitudes from the great and the good no longer represent the deep feeling and the hurt of public opinion.
"We need action now to round up for whatever reason all those people that the security forces believe would make us safer if they were no longer roaming and able to take innocent lives."
"As I previously said, this was a callous and cowardly attack on the entire community.
"We must work together to reject those who would wish to return Northern Ireland to the days when these heinous attacks were commonplace. Their futile agenda will not succeed."
"The attack which led to his death is a stark reminder of the fragility of the peace process in Northern Ireland, and must be condemned in the strongest possible terms.
"This married father of three was a committed public servant who was senselessly targeted by a group determined to destabilise a process which had brought about an end to decades of violence across the north." | Politicians have been reacting to news that a prison officer injured in a bomb attack in Northern Ireland earlier this month has died. | 35811164 | [

Almost 3,000 cases were diagnosed in the capital out of a total of 5,042 in the country in 2015, figures from Public Health England (PHE) show.
Since 2010 the number of cases among Londoners has risen by 163%, with 90% of those reported in 2015 among men who have sex with men.
PHE said people were "putting themselves at risk through unsafe sex".
Syphilis is a bacterial infection that initially causes highly infectious sores but can go on to cause serious conditions such as heart problems.
In most circumstances it can be treated with antibiotics but in extreme cases, the sexually transmitted infection can prove fatal.
2,811
cases in the capital in 2015
2,406 cases recorded among men who have sex with men (MSM)
36 median age of MSM diagnosed
74% of MSM diagnosed were white
44% of MSM diagnosed were born in the UK
There are about 54.7m people living in England, 8.7m of which live in London according to the Office of National Statistics.
In 2015, syphilis was diagnosed in all London local authorities with the highest numbers in Lambeth, Southwark, Tower Hamlets and Westminster.
The number of cases among heterosexual men and women has risen slightly but there was a much larger increase among men who have sex with men.
The group, which represents about 2% of the total London population, accounted for 2,406 of 2,811 cases in the capital.
Dr Yvonne Doyle, regional director for PHE London, said it was "worrying to see such alarming rises in syphilis year on year".
She said: "We are seeing large increases in cases of syphilis among men who have sex with men and they now represent 90% of syphilis cases in London.
"Although diagnoses among heterosexuals in the capital are more stable they too continue to be higher than we would like given the effective preventative measures in place."
She called on people to practise safe sex, "including using condoms, regularly being tested and avoiding overlapping sexual relationships". | Nearly 60% of all syphilis cases reported in England were in London, it has been revealed. | 37099204 | [

The ventriloquist, who, with his puppet duck Orville became a staple of Saturday night TV in the 1980s, died last month aged 67.
Mourners gathered at the Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Church in his hometown to pay their respects.
The entertainer's fourth wife Sarah and her children attended the ceremony, alongside Coronation Street star Ken Morley and comedian Jimmy Cricket.
A floral tribute from the Nolan sisters read: "For Keith, a great pro, fantastic talent, [and] a lovely man who will be sorely missed"
Harris entertained generations of children with his sidekick Orville, a bright green duck who wore a nappy and spoke in a high-pitched voice.
He also gave life to the popular puppet Cuddles the monkey, whose catchphrase was 'I Hate That Duck!'.
At the height of his fame, he fronted The Keith Harris Show on BBC One and gave private performances at birthday parties for Prince William and his brother Harry, at the request of Diana, Princess of Wales.
His 1982 single, Orville's Song, was a top five hit, selling more than 400,000 copies.
Harris, who married four times and had three children, was first diagnosed with cancer in 2013 and became ill again in January.
He died in hospital in Blackpool on 28 April. | Friends of Keith Harris have joined his family at his funeral in Blackpool. | 32651759 | [

Ex-Labour press chief Alastair Campbell and MP Simon Hughes have also settled with News Group Newspapers (NGN), which published the News of the World.
Mr Gascoigne received £68,000 while Mr Coogan got £40,000.
The comedian said afterwards: "This has never been about the money."
Tony Blair's former spokesman Mr Campbell, who won substantial damages plus costs, also said his action had "not and never has been, about the money".
Liberal Democrat deputy leader Mr Hughes received £45,000 plus costs while football agent Phil Hughes, a friend and former agent of ex-footballer George Best, received substantial damages plus costs.
Hugh Tomlinson QC told the court his client, singer Charlotte Church, had not reached an agreement. The case involving her and her parents is due to start at the end of the month.
By Clive ColemanBBC News legal correspondent
This latest round of settlements represents a continued waving of the white flag by News International in the civil cases for breach of privacy arising out of the phone hacking at the former News of the World.
The vast majority of the original 60-odd cases have now been settled. And the more they settle, the more difficult it becomes for News International to defend one.
The case brought by the singer Charlotte Church and her family is due for trial, as are five other cases. Whether any of them will actually get there seems doubtful.
The settlement sums reflect the level of hacking, the period over which it took place and the number of articles that were written based upon the information hacked.
But this is not even the beginning of the end. Waiting in the wings, are around 800 additional potential claimants, perhaps more. News International seems to be in for a very long and very costly act of surrender.
Speaking outside the High Court, Mr Coogan said he had taken the action to expose the way in which parts of the press had been operating.
"Like other people who sued, I was determined to do my part to show the depths to which the press can sink in pursuit of private information.
"The police and the Leveson Inquiry will be investigating these matters but at the time, when these civil cases began, News International seemed likely to succeed in covering up the hacking scandal completely.
"Neither the police nor the government were willing to hold those responsible accountable for unlawful acts."
He said some of the phone hacking victims were "many ordinary members of the public, sometimes vulnerable people with the most tenuous connection to news".
Mr Campbell said he would be using the settlement to make donations to organisations, including the Labour Party and Mind, "so that at least some small good for the causes I believe in can come out of the criminality and cultural depravity of others".
"For me, this has been about people with a voice and a platform using them to change the media culture which, as I argued at the Leveson Inquiry, has become putrid in parts," he said.
The announcement of the latest settlements, at a hearing in London, came during the latest in a number of pre-trial reviews.
Mr Campbell said his settlement was a "satisfactory outcome" and NGN had agreed to search for other documents and that he may be entitled to further damages.
Details of the effect hacking had on Mr Gascoigne were given in a statement from his solicitor.
The judge was told the former England international footballer, who also played for Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur, had been the subject of a number of News of the World articles over many years and had "considerable concerns" about the source of some of the "intrusive and private" information.
The statement said: "Mr Gascoigne was worried that the information was being obtained by bugging or tapping his telephone conversations, as a result of which he was accused of being paranoid.
"In addition, Mr Gascoigne was worried that the information was being given to the News of the World by his friends or family, as a result of which he fell out with several of his friends and family."
The statement said the ex-footballer apologised for wrongly accusing those close to him of leaking information.
Those receiving settlements include:
Liberal Democrat deputy leader Mr Hughes said the practice of hacking was "criminal behaviour on an industrial scale."
He added: "We must now make sure that nothing like this can ever happen again."
These latest developments mean 15 more phone hacking cases have now been settled, including nine of the 10 which were due to go to civil trial on Monday. There were 37 other claims settled with NGN last month.
The announcement, at a hearing in London, came during the latest in a number of pre-trial reviews.
Another five phone-hacking cases are still due to be heard.
Those are of model Elle Macpherson's former adviser Mary Ellen Field, footballer Ryan Giggs, former royal butler Paul Burrell, police officer Jacqui Hames and her husband David Cook, and PR consultant Nicola Phillips. | Comedian Steve Coogan and ex-footballer Paul Gascoigne are among the latest people to have settled claims for damages over phone-hacking, the High Court has heard. | 16946105 | [

Sistercharlie was second, with Terrakova third.
Frankie Dettori managed to navigate Shutter Speed into a good position but she could not reply as Senga found top gear in the home straight.
Senga is trained by Pascal Bary and was ridden by 39-year-old Frenchman Stephane Pasquier.
Dettori, 46, was competing for the first time since he was thrown from his mount before racing at Great Yarmouth on Tuesday.
The Italian, who has ridden 56 winners at Royal Ascot, fell after Tivoli seemed to be startled.
This year's Royal Ascot meeting starts on Tuesday. | Shutter Speed finished fourth and Rhododendron was pulled up by jockey Ryan Moore as Senga claimed victory at the Prix de Diane in Chantilly. | 40320590 | [

The Flybe passenger aircraft was flying at about 900ft (275m) and was about 2 miles (3km) from Cornwall Airport Newquay when it happened on Tuesday afternoon, police said.
Devon and Cornwall Police conducted a search of the area but have not found the drone or operator.
Insp Dave Meredith called it "an incredibly concerning incident".
Latest on the drone near miss, and other stories from Devon and Cornwall
"The close proximity of the drone to the passenger aircraft shows a complete disregard by the operator for public safety and we are appealing to the public for information to help us track down this reckless drone operator," Insp Meredith said.
A spokeswoman for Cornwall Airport Newquay confirmed a drone had flown within the air traffic zone adjacent to the final approach to the airport as the plane flew in from London Stansted carrying 62 passengers.
"Although on this occasion there was no danger of collision, Air Traffic Control (ATC) reported this incident to the police as the drone should not have been flown in that area without ATC clearance and posed a potential danger to incoming flights," she said.
A spokesperson for the UK Civil Aviation Authority said: "Airspace proximity incidents, whether involving two aircraft, or a drone and an aircraft, need to be fully investigated to establish the level of risk involved."
The UK Airprox Board, which investigates airspace proximity incidents, said it had not received any official report of the incident yet.
Flybe said it would "work closely" with all relevant authorities to help identify the perpetrators of any activity which could jeopardise passenger safety.
Operators of any small unmanned surveillance aircraft must not fly them within 50m (164 ft) of any vessel, vehicle or structure which is not under the user's control, unless they have obtained permission from the Civil Aviation Authority, according to the Air Navigation Order 2009.
Figures have shown there were more reported near misses between drones and aircraft over the UK in the first six months of 2016 than the whole of the previous year. | A "reckless drone operator" is being sought by police after reports of a "near miss" between a drone and plane. | 37042796 | [

The suppliers, one making seats and the other parts used in gearboxes, have stopped delivering to VW in a contract row.
Car and parts production has already been halted at four plants and will be stopped at two others later this week.
The carmaker said the interruptions in production would affect 27,700 staff.
"Although Braunschweig District Court has issued injunctions obliging the suppliers to resume deliveries, the suppliers have not as yet met their obligations. Volkswagen continues its efforts to reach agreement with the suppliers," said the company in a statement.
The two suppliers are CarTrim, which makes seats, and ES Automobilguss, which makes cast iron parts used in gearboxes.
They are demanding compensation from VW because they say they their incomes were hit when VW cancelled a contract.
VW says it is continuing its efforts to reach agreement with the suppliers.
The company said the production stoppage would not affect cars that have already been ordered. Any effect on future production will depend on how long the dispute lasts.
Some production has already been halted at Wolfsburg, which makes Golfs, and at Zwickau where Golfs and Passats are made. Production is due to begin again later this week.
Production has also stopped at Braunschweig, which makes chassis parts and plastic parts, but should start again next Monday.
Later this week, production will cease at Salzgitter, which is involved in engine production, and Kassel where transmission and exhaust system production takes place.
In what the company said was an unrelated issue, production was halted at Emden, which makes Passats, last week and will resume on Wednesday.
In some cases employees have been sent home, in others they are engaged in short-time working on other jobs within the plants.
The German Economy Ministry on Monday called on VW and the suppliers end the dispute.
"We assume and also expect the companies to solve the sticking issues as soon as possible," Economy Ministry spokesman Andreas Audretsch told journalists during a regular news conference.
He added: "It is about thousands of jobs, which could be affected by shorter work hours, and the responsibility to tackle these problems constructively is very high."
VW in the UK issued a statement in which it said the company was "working intensively on minimising the acute supply risk, the priority being to maintain production in some areas and to ensure that deliveries can be made to customers.
"Volkswagen currently expects to be able to adhere to all confirmed delivery dates," it added. | Volkswagen has halted production at several plants in Germany, hitting the output of Golf and Passat models amid a dispute with two external suppliers. | 37154334 | [

Carmarthenshire's Mark James and Pembrokeshire's Bryn Parry Jones had been given cash payments in lieu of employer pension contributions.
Dyfed-Powys Police said the force was in discussions with the auditors.
Carmarthenshire council said it was pleased the auditor did not rule its pension policy as unlawful.
The public spending watchdog report said that both authorities had acted unlawfully in allowing the chief executives to opt out of the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) to avoid potential tax payments.
Mr James was also unlawfully given an indemnity against potential libel costs.
Assistant auditor general Anthony Barrett said: "Carmarthenshire council has acted unlawfully on two fundamental issues, both of which the public need to be fully aware of.
"The authority has taken decisions and used taxpayers' money in areas that they do not have the legal powers to do so."
In a separate report on Pembrokeshire council, Mr Barrett concluded similar pension arrangements for some senior officers were also contrary to law.
It is expected that by the end of March 2014, £51,011 will have been paid to chief executive Mr Jones and one other senior officer.
The auditor said the decisions to allow certain officers to receive payments, and then for payments to be made, were unlawful on several grounds.
"The public should be able to expect the highest standards of decision making at local authorities and the council must now address the procedural weaknesses I have identified in my report," he said.
"It needs to demonstrate to its electorate that it is operating in accordance with the law and in line with good governance principles."
Mr Barrett said neither council had the lawful power to give cash supplements in lieu of pension contributions to avoid tax liabilities, but said it was up to the local authorities whether they tried to claw back any money.
Mr Barrett conducted two reports into Carmarthenshire council - the first into pension payments, and another into the decision to grant an indemnity to the chief executive to bring a libel counterclaim.
He said the council acted "contrary to law" by allowing senior officers to opt out of the LGPS.
More than £27,000 was paid to Mr James under the scheme since 2012.
Mr Barrett said the council had since "rescinded its decision to offer a pay supplement in lieu of pension contributions and announced that no further payments will be made to the chief executive from January 2014".
The original decision taken in November 2011 was considered by the council's executive board without appearing on the agenda and without being open to inspection by members of the public.
In his report on the libel indemnity, the auditor said the council "does not have the legal powers to make such payments and there were inadequacies in the processes adopted by the council when making the decision".
It concerned Mr James's libel action against Jacqui Thompson, a blogger who was arrested after filming a council meeting on her mobile phone.
He won the case and Ms Thompson was ordered to pay costs of £23,217.
Her own attempt to sue Mr James for libel during the course of the dispute was rejected.
Carmarthenshire has paid out more than £26,000 in external legal costs since 2012 under the decision to indemnify its chief executive.
The auditor added: "The libel counterclaim is still on-going and it is unclear what the final external legal costs to the council will be."
Carmarthenshire council said is was pleased the report did not think its pensions policy was unlawful but that its procedural process was flawed.
It said steps had been taken to sure ensure such matters are considered as separate items on an agenda.
The council said it remained convinced that indemnifying Mr James in the libel action was correct, and claimed the audit office had not objected to the policy when first consulted on it.
The local authority noted that the audit office had changed its mind on the issue some months later, and claimed it was "too late for us to turn back the clock".
Pembrokeshire council also insisted its pension payment policy was lawful.
Reacting to the report, deputy leader Rob Lewis said: "While I note the auditor's views in relation to the decision taken, I am pleased he has concluded the council could take a lawful decision once a number of procedural matters have been addressed."
Janet Finch-Saunders, the Welsh Conservatives' shadow minister for local government, said: "These reports are further evidence of the need for a Wales-wide review of senior pay in Welsh local authorities, which is out of control and failing to deliver value for money for hardworking families."
She told BBC Good Morning Wales: "We do have some excellent local authorities, but this has cast a shadow now over... our chief executives, who do work within their remit in an honest and transparent manner.
"As to the consequences, it's time now for the chief executive Mark James to resign or, certainly, be instantly dismissed."
Meanwhile, Plaid Cymru called for councillors who approved Carmarthenshire's pension and libel case payments to resign.
Rhodri Glyn Thomas, the party's AM for Carmarthenshire East and Dinefwr, has also called for Mr James to quit.
He added: "This is a very dark day for Carmarthenshire, a dark day for democracy in Carmarthenshire, and is an example of what happens when you have a very weak executive and a council controlled by powerful unelected officers."
The chair of the public accounts committee, Darren Millar, said the reports showed both councils had fallen well below expected standards.
The committee will now consider these findings as part of a wider inquiry into senior managers' pay in the Welsh public sector.
Dyfed-Powys Police said it was "aware of the reports" and "whilst the matter hasn't been referred to us, we are in discussions with the auditor and will be making an assessment in relation to any appropriate action by the police". | Two councils acted unlawfully by letting chief executives opt out of a pension scheme to avoid potential tax payments, the Wales Audit Office says. | 25948610 | [

BBC Radio 4's File on 4 programme discovered 22 profiles belonging to men convicted of child sex offences, which included grooming a child on Facebook and attempting to meet her for sex.
Six of the accounts remained live three weeks after the BBC reported them.
Facebook's UK policy director Simon Milner said the company was effective in dealing with the issue.
He said he appreciated the BBC bringing the pages to light but said Facebook worked proactively to search out behaviour that should not be happening on the site.
According to the platform's own rules, convicted sex offenders are not allowed to use the social media network.
Among the profiles uncovered was one belonging to Bruce Cordwell, 20, who groomed 15-year-old Kayleigh Haywood through Facebook and Whatsapp just days before she was raped and murdered by another man, Stephen Beadman, in November 2015.
"It's absolutely vile," said Stephanie Haywood, Kayleigh's mother, when she was shown Cordwell's page.
Kayleigh, from Measham, Leicestershire, was contacted by 28-year-old Luke Harlow on Facebook in 2015 and the pair exchanged more than 2,600 messages during a two-week period.
After Harlow convinced art enthusiast Kayleigh he was her boyfriend, she agreed to stay over at his flat in Ibstock.
The following night, his neighbour Stephen Beadman came round to the flat and later raped and murdered the teenager before dumping her body in a hedgerow.
Beadman was jailed for 35 years for murder, rape and false imprisonment, and Harlow received a 12-year sentence for meeting a child following sexual grooming, sexual activity with a child and false imprisonment.
But while detectives were investigating the case, they discovered Cordwell, then 19, had also been sexually grooming Kayleigh.
In February, he was jailed for three years and seven months after pleading guilty to attempting to arrange the commission of a child sex offence.
Stephanie, a mother-of-eight, said convicted child sex offenders who remained on social media posed a huge risk.
"There is a risk they could do what they've done again, or worse," she said.
"I say, 'Once a groomer always a groomer.'
"Once they've been inside for whatever they've done, I think they should remove it. I think it's horrible."
By comparing police mug shots and media coverage of child sex abuse cases and cross-referencing them with the details on Facebook, File on 4 tracked down accounts belonging to 22 convicted offenders.
Facebook has a rule that forbids convicted sex offenders from using its site and has a portal for people to report pages belonging to offenders.
The portal requires people to supply a link to the offender's page and provide evidence of their offending, which could be a link to a media report of the court case.
Facebook then checks on the offenders with the police before removing them from the site.
When the BBC reported the 22 pages it had found, most were removed within 48 hours - but six remained live three weeks after the BBC reported them.
Facebook said it was waiting for confirmation from police that the final six were convicted offenders before it could remove the pages.
In response to File on 4's findings Facebook's UK policy director Simon Milner, said: "We appreciate you did that, we appreciate it when anybody reports to us things that are happening on Facebook that shouldn't be.
"Our teams that focus on this work with the relevant local police force to get authorisation from them and it works."
Mr Milner said Facebook worked proactively to search out behaviour that should not be happening on the site.
He added: "We've found in terms of our working relationship with law enforcement in this country and elsewhere they think we are amongst the most effective companies in dealing with this issue and we actually do have the right kind of arrangements in place."
Meanwhile, exclusive figures obtained by File on 4 through Freedom of Information requests revealed the most popular social media platforms had been linked to more than 7,000 reports of child sex crimes over the past three years.
Figures from 22 police forces revealed 7,162 child sex offences had been recorded between 2014-15 and 2016-17, with a 44% increase recorded over the three-year period.
The offences included rape, sexual activity with a child and child sexual grooming involving children as young as three years old.
File on 4: Online Grooming is on BBC Radio 4, 13 June at 20:00 BST - catch up on BBC iPlayer Radio.

City, who had lost 10 of their previous 13 games, led 2-0 at St James' Park, before the hosts fought back to level.
The Robins are two only points above the relegation zone, though they have a game in hand on 22nd-placed Wigan.
"We were outstanding as a club today. The staff, the players, the fans all came together," said Johnson.
"I was just proud of the club today. There has been a lot of stick flying about this week and rightly so, and of course I bear the brunt of it.
"The players have produced and if anyone was ever in doubt that this was a committed bunch of players then today they will have seen that."
Newcastle's comeback was the second time in the past four games that Bristol City have dropped points from a healthy winning position, having drawn 3-3 with Derby on 11 February after taking a three-goal lead.
"It's not easy but for me, as a young manager having dealt with a tough week and then come against one of the world's leading managers in Rafael Benitez, you take your lessons," added Johnson.
"Today I think we've shown our worth as a staff, as a team and as a club." | Bristol City head coach Lee Johnson says his team's performance in Saturday's draw at United Newcastle proved their commitment to the club. | 39092957 | [

Nóirín O'Sullivan welcomed the fact that new police recruitment had begun, but said policing is a profession that constantly needs new people.
She said 300 new recruits would keep the gardaí at a standstill.
She said over 500 new recruits every year were needed to ensure the force could deal with emerging crime trends.
Ms O'Sullivan was speaking at the annual conference of the Garda Superintendents in County Kildare.
The superintendents say they are under serious pressure to ensure they have sufficient officers to police the country on a 24-hour basis.
The Irish government recently announced new recruitment, however, the general secretary of the Superintendents' Association Denis Ferry, said the gardaí needed at least double the level to maintain current levels of service. | The commissioner of An Garda Síochána (Irish police) has said the force needs more than 500 new recruits a year to provide a proper service. | 32331338 | [

First or minor offences will result in either a warning, fine or order for a match to be played behind closed doors.
Serious or repeat offences can now be punished by a points deduction, expulsion or relegation.
Jeffrey Webb, head of Fifa's anti-racism task force, said the decision was "a defining moment".
He added: "Our football family is fully aware that what is reported in the media is actually less than 1% of the incidents that happen around the world.
"We've got to take action so that when we look to the next 20 or 50 years this will be the defining time that we took action against racism and discrimination."
Fifa, world football's governing body, passed the anti-racism resolution with a 99% majority at its congress in Mauritius.
Richard Conway, reporting for BBC Sport at the congress, said a concern was raised over those who voted against the tougher racism measures.
"Former South African apartheid prisoner Tokyo Sexwale, now a Fifa member, urged congress to check cameras to see who voted against racism rules," he said.
"Sexwale says (the) 1% vote against demonstrates how football still has to fight against racism."
Webb said of the vote against the measures: "I would like to think it was a mistake but I'm glad it wasn't the other way. I'm glad only 1% went that way."
Nonetheless, Fifa president Blatter accepted more must be done to eradicate racism.
He said: "We need zero tolerance and strict punishments everywhere. We must lead. We must set a tough, uncompromising example.
"We can make a difference. We can send a strong signal to the racists that their time is up."
Fifa commissioned a task force to address the issue of racism after a friendly game between AC Milan and Pro Patria was abandoned due to racist chanting.
Their verdict includes putting an official inside the stadium to identify potential acts of racism and ease the pressure on the match referee.
The new rulings standardise punishment across the members, meaning federations will lose the power to impose their own judgements.
Further to the regulations that relate to clubs or international teams, the new measures will see any individual who commits a racist offence banned from stadiums for a minimum of five matches.
The five-match suspension is one that has been introduced by the Football Association, whose chairman David Bernstein sat on the task force in Mauritius.
Also on the task force was Kevin-Prince Boateng, the AC Milan player who led the walk-off in the game against Pro Patria in January.
Former England international striker Luther Blissett, an ambassador for anti-racism charity Show Racism The Red Card, admitted to reservations about the new measures.
"You've got to applaud them for doing something about it, my thing is when they talk about the 'level' of racism," he told Radio 5 live. "To me, racism is racism.
"Fifa have to let it be known where they are going to start this from. Any form of racism is serious enough for the bans to start, they should hit people hard straight away." | Teams could be relegated or expelled from competitions for serious incidents of racism after tough new powers were voted in by Fifa. | 22728162 | [

In total, 99 were seized by police under the Dangerous Dogs Act, down 60 from 159 in 2015.
Figures were obtained from all Welsh police forces using a request under the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act.
National Police Chiefs' Council spokesman Deputy Chief Constable Gareth Pritchard said many people bought dogs without knowing their temperament.
North Wales Police said attacks rose from 158 to 246 in the area. In south Wales, it went up from 298 to 332 and in Dyfed-Powys' area the numbers increased from 45 to 53.
Gwent Police recorded number decreased from nine to three, in the figures obtained for BBC Radio Wales' Jason Mohammad Show.
Dep Ch Con Pritchard, who also works for North Wales Police, said: "We are concerned people are buying them on the internet.
"They are buying at car boot sales and buying at motorway service stations.
"They are not seeing the dog in its environment and understanding its temperament."
He added that if people are thinking of buying, they should "see the dog with the mother, see the temperament and understand the power and the attributes of the dog".
Despite the increase in attacks, the same FOI figures show the numbers of seizures under the Dangerous Dogs Act have fallen from 159 to 99.
In North Wales Police's area, the figure went down from 32 to 16, in south Wales, from 113 to 72, there were two seized in 2015 and 2016 in Gwent and in Dyfed-Powys, the figure dropped from 12 to nine.
Jayne Dendle, from Swansea, is a member of the campaign group Born Innocent, that lobbies against the Dangerous Dogs Act.
"Owners can just go out and buy any puppy, everything is totally unregulated and people don't necessarily see a dog as a lifetime pet and don't put the effort and energy they need into it," she said.
"Socialising it and exercising it. A dog is a big commitment and we need to put a great deal of time into that." | There were 634 reported dog attacks in Wales in 2016, up by 124 from the year before, according to latest figures. | 39219035 | [

The 35-year-old, who played six Super League games for Hull KR in 2011 before moving to French rugby union side Toulon, was at Manly last season.
He played 290 NRL games during his 15-year career spent with five clubs, including Canterbury, where he won the 2004 Premiership.
"Willie knows the job a prop has to do," coach Laurent Frayssinous said.
"He is a physical and aggressive player, both in attack and in defence and we have spoken a lot about the quality of our group and he is really excited to join the club."
Frayssinous' Dragons side have lost their first two games in Super League this season, with defeats by Wigan and Hull FC.
Veteran front-rower Mason scored seven tries and played 24 tests for the Kangaroos, including the famous Great Britain 2006 Tri-Series defeat in Sydney where he struck Stuart Fielden and was involved in a scuffle with tourists captain Jamie Peacock.
He also played 13 games for the Blues in State of Origin, scoring once. | Catalans Dragons have signed former Australia and New South Wales prop Willie Mason on a one-year deal. | 35580732 | [

Sam Amin, 18, fell into the river after a night out in Bath last September.
Since then safety railings have been placed along the stretch of river where six people have drowned since 2009.
Laurence Tindall, who will design the memorial, said: "We want people to think quietly about the people who lost their lives in the river and how young they all were."
The monument will be placed at the spot where Mr Amin died and will be part of the revamp of Bath Quays, near Churchill Bridge.
Mr Tindall is in talks with Bath and North East Somerset Council to settle on a final design.
A spokesman from Bath and North East Somerset Council said: "The council is working with Sammuel Amin's family to define the most appropriate form and location for the memorial, which is expected to be installed within the new Bath Quays Park by the end of 2016."
Attempts will be made to contact other bereaved families to see if they want inscriptions dedicated to their loved ones added to the artwork.
"We can't approach the families directly, it's a very sensitive area - we have to approach them through the police formally," said Mr Tindall.
"I'm sure it will give them a great deal of comfort to know that there is something permanent, so it will not only remember him but the other young men who have died and to help people to think about river safety and take due care when they're beside the water."
The project is expected to take at least a year to complete.
The family has now opened an appeal to help pay for the memorial costs and the council has agreed to pay for the installation.
Mr Amin's memorial service takes place at St Michael's Church, Twerton on Saturday morning. | A monument will be built in memory of a student who died after falling into the River Avon. | 34292017 | [

On that Sunday morning, on 27 November 1994, Celtic awaited but also the sense that a side assembled from youth players and journeymen could achieve something remarkable.
As the squad boarded the team bus, nobody was allowed to sit at the first table on the right-hand side of the aisle. "That is where we are going to put the Cup on the way back," the captain, Gordon Dalziel, told his team-mates. There was no scoffing.
This was an unconventional team, but their maverick nature was vital to their success. Twenty years on, it seems no less momentous.

Raith Rovers, a team from the second tier of Scottish football that had never won a major knockout competition and had been put together with £215,000 in transfer fees, against Celtic, one of the most storied and successful clubs in British football, a team that was built to achieve glory, at a cost of £5.17m.
The details of Raith's victory on penalties are now part of the fabric of Scottish football. The underdogs scored first, Celtic fought back and led with six minutes left, only for Dalziel to equalise when he sent the ball into the net from close range with his nose.
Extra-time passed and then both sides scored their first five spot kicks. Jason Rowbotham, now a firefighter in Plymouth, struck the first of the sudden death penalties and sent it past Gordon Marshall. Then Paul McStay stepped up.
As the Celtic midfielder walked forward, Nicholl turned to his assistant, Martin Harvey, and said that Raith Rovers were one kick away from European football.
McStay was idolised, smoothly accomplished and capable of rising above the clutter of so many Scottish football games. He was also the captain and this was the trophy that was expected to signal that the rebuilding work of the Fergus McCann era had been worthwhile. "Unthinkable, surely," said Jock Brown, the television commentator, "for the skipper to miss."
His spot-kick was saved by the Raith Rovers goalkeeper, Scott Thomson, sparking triumphant scenes.
"The aftermath was chaotic, Thommo made the save and we all pretty much just bolted in every direction, towards the fans, to each other, to the gaffer," recalled Stephen McAnespie, the Raith Rovers right-back.
There was never any hope of confining the joy. The unorthodoxy of Raith was an essential quality.
During pre-season training camps in Northern Ireland, Nicholl would often allow his players to have nights out socialising and cans of Guinness would sometimes be brought out on the team bus after pre-season friendlies. Nicholl was not lax, he just understood that he had drawn together a group of hardworking players who he could trust to be fully committed in training and in games - and that team bonding was also vital to maximising their potential.
"We achieved a lot of good things in that period, winning the [old First Division], getting into Europe, winning the Cup," said McAnespie. "We were technically a good side, we played the ball on the floor, we were an aggressive, attack-minded team.
"We had a great blend of youth and experience through the middle of the park with [Steve] Crawford, [Colin] Cameron, [Jason] Dair, [Danny] Lennon and [Gordon] Dalziel and [Ally] Graham up front.
"The camaraderie was huge for us. We mixed a lot outside the changing-room, whether it was golf or a night out after a game, we had a lot of good characters and Jimmy Nic had a lot to do with that. He knew the value of a close-knit dressing-room and was a big part of the banter, but he also knew when the time was right to get tuned in and focus.
"Believe it or not, we felt we could win the game before we kicked off. That was probably because we had some of us young guys that were kind of fearless and a bit naive to the magnitude of the occasion, which obviously worked out for us."
Raith spent the night before the game at a hotel in Erskine, where Nicholl told the players what the starting line-up would be and then allowed them some time to relax. As they were playing darts and cards, a waiter arrived with six pints of Guinness and six pints of lager, ordered just to calm the players down. They were irrepressible, though, and the bus journey to Ibrox ended with the players - many of them Celtic fans - loudly singing Tina Turner's "Simply The Best", a song that was regularly played at Ibrox.
Rovers had the home dressing-room and they had also been granted a training session the morning before on the Ibrox pitch, due to Nicholl's connections with Rangers, his former club. In the dressing-room, the players also found a bag of studs that were right for the surface, left by the Rangers kit man.
In the tunnel at Ibrox before kick-off, the Raith players were joking around while the Celtic players looked grimly determined. The club had not won any major trophies in five years and the manager, Tommy Burns, was under pressure to deliver the trophy. He still found time to shake Dalziel's hand in the tunnel and wish him all the best.
Back in the dressing-room after the penalty shootout, as the Celtic players tried to come to terms with the defeat, the Raith team were joined by some guests.
"The first two people in behind us were John Greig and Ally McCoist," McAnespie said. "They gave us cases of Rangers label champagne. I grabbed two bottles and went straight to the front entrance, still in my kit and boots, and my family were standing right there. I handed my dad the bottles and gave them a hug and got dragged back in by the security.
"I thought the crowd was going to rush the door. We went back to the hotel in Kirkcaldy, where we were met by thousands of Raith fans at the hotel with pipers, which we never expected.
"We celebrated for a while, [but] a lot of the guys were so physically and emotionally drained that a lot of us ended up in bed early, shattered. Well, a little tipsy and shattered."
When Nicholl had arrived at Raith as manager, on 27 November 1990, the team was mostly part-time and the players washed their own kit. Following the League Cup win, and the subsequent foray into Europe that ended with a tie against Bayern Munich, Raith were able to build two stands at Stark's Park.
"It's nice to re-live it all," said McAnespie, who is now a coach in New Orleans, "especially with the other players, because at times we will remind each other about something that we had forgotten about after 20 years." | There was no room for doubt to accompany the Raith Rovers players as they set off for the League Cup final at Ibrox. | 30219849 | [

The midfielder, 28, is under contract with Arsenal until 2018 but speculation over his future has been widespread.
"It is definitely my preference to stay," the German said on Wednesday.
"Once everyone is back in London, we will sit down and discuss the future. I have always said that I feel very good at Arsenal."
Arsenal face Sydney FC on Thursday (11:00 BST) and Western Sydney Wanderers (11:00 BST) on Saturday before heading to China for two further games.
Arsene Wenger's side meet Bayern Munich (12:20 BST) on 19 July in Shanghai and Chelsea (12:40 BST) on 22 July in Beijing before returning to England.
"For now the most important thing is our pre-season and getting through the tour, training and getting fitness," added Ozil, who joined Arsenal from Real Madrid for £42.4m in 2013.
"I have always said that I feel very good at Arsenal."
While Ozil appears keen to stay, the futures of Chile forward Alexis Sanchez and France striker Olivier Giroud remain less clear.
Giroud, 30, has been with Arsenal for five years but has been linked with moves to Premier League rivals Everton and West Ham.
"I've been through some difficulty this last year, but always succeed to bounce back," said the former Montpellier forward.
"I'm still an Arsenal player and try to be professional like I always have done and to prepare well for the next season."
Meanwhile, Sanchez has been linked with Manchester City.
"It would hit the team quite hard if he left because he is a player who always delivers," said Ozil. | Mesut Ozil says he wants to stay at Arsenal and will discuss his future with the club after a pre-season tour of Australia and China. | 40583671 | [

The breakdown service, which also reported a rise in personal memberships of 0.4% to 3,335,000 in the six months to the end of January, said it had so far absorbed the price rise.
Insurance premium tax (IPT) was 6% in 2015, but is going up to 12% from June.
The AA said it would look at its fees if the tax increased again.
"We have managed to protect our members," the AA explained. "But this is an industry-wide challenge and we will need to review our pricing policy in the context of any future increase in IPT."
The increase in memberships - an "important milestone", according to the company - halted a long-standing drop in figures.
It came after the AA signed up more members, with a 19% rise in new business year-on-year, and kept more existing customers, with its retention rate improving to 82%.
It added that there was a 5% rise in the number of breakdown call-outs in the 12 months to the end of January, again reversing a trend of gradual decline, which it described as "unhelpful for costs in the short term".
However, the company explained that this did increase the chances of people renewing their membership.
The AA has been investing in technology, with more than a fifth of its members (22%) using its app in breakdowns, while its newly-launched in-house underwriter recorded 115,000 car insurance policies in its first year, more than expected. | The AA has warned that it may have to raise its prices because the government has doubled the tax rate on insurance policies in less than two years. | 38904084 | [

Baroness Newlove said 15% of victims had been given the opportunity to make a victim statement in 2015/16.
She said there had been little change since 2013 - when figures were first complied - and "more needs to be done".
The Ministry of Justice said it will spend £70m helping victims this year.
As part of an official code of practice, every victim who reports a crime is entitled to write a statement about how the offence has affected their life.
If a suspect is convicted in court, a victim statement can be read out before sentencing - as well as later at a parole hearing.
However, in a report about the situation in England and Wales, Baroness Newlove said victims given had been given the chance of making statements in only 15% of cases.
The right of victims to make a statement should be enshrined in law, the commissioner added, with sanctions for police and other agencies if they did not offer the service.
"Enough is enough," said Baroness Newlove, who has campaigned against violence since her husband, Garry, was attacked and killed by youths outside their Warrington home in 2007.
"No-one can claim that victims are 'at the heart of the criminal justice system' when these figures suggest that the Victims' Code is no more than a wish list," she added.
"More needs to be done to support victims of crime."
She added: "There are laws in place to protect the rights of offenders - but nothing to protect the rights of victims. Yet again victims' rights are being ignored."
A Ministry of Justice spokesman welcomed the report, saying it would consider its findings carefully.
The government has allocated £67.85m to Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) in 2016/17, and again in 2017/18, to support victims of crime, the spokesman said.
"It is vital that blameless victims see swift and certain justice, which is why we have protected the victims' budget and given PCCs almost £70m to support victims in their areas.
"We have long committed to strengthening victims' rights, to ensure the most vulnerable get the support they deserve," the spokesman added. | All victims of crime should be given the chance to make a statement in court about the impact the offence has had on their lives, the victims' commissioner for England and Wales has said. | 38667992 | [

The General Medical Council has produced the guidance to make surgical and non-surgical procedures, such as facelifts, breast implants, dermal fillers and Botox, safer.
It will now consult doctors and the public about the guidance.
Plastic surgeons said they were already using a two-week cooling-off period.
In 2013, a report by NHS England's medical director highlighted the risks associated with the cosmetic sector.
This followed safety concerns after nearly 50,000 women in the UK had PIP breast implants fitted. The French implants were made from an unauthorised silicone filler and were found to have double the rupture rate of other implants.
In January, the Royal College of Surgeons published a consultation on proposals to improve standards in cosmetic surgery.
The GMC sets the standards that are expected of all UK doctors who carry out cosmetic procedures. It also tries to help patients understand what to expect from their doctor.
Some of the main points in the new guidance say that doctors should:
Prof Terence Stephenson, the chairman of the General Medical Council, said some patients in this area were vulnerable and needed protecting.
"We are clear that doctors must not pressure patients to make rushed decisions they may end up regretting and they must give them enough information so they can make an informed choice."
Rajiv Grover, consultant plastic surgeon and former President of the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (Baaps), welcomed the GMC's guidance because he said some patients were psychologically unsuitable for cosmetic surgery.
"Cosmetic surgery has for too long been seen as a commodity but unfortunately once an operation is done - it can't be taken back to the shop."
He said Baaps had insisted on a two-week cooling-off period for many years and also encouraged a second consultation with a surgeon before a decision was made.
The association is looking into developing a screening tool to help identify patients who should not have surgery.
The final GMC guidance is expected to be published in early 2016. | Doctors who carry out cosmetic procedures should give patients time to think before agreeing to go ahead, new guidance says. | 33029250 | [

Benjamin Herman, 80, of Hook, Hampshire, denies four counts of sex abuse against a girl under 13 in the early 1970s.
Mr Herman is a former equerry to the Duke of Edinburgh.
Under cross-examination, the woman told Blackfriars Crown Court: "I am not fantasising, lying or imagining it."
Mr Herman held the equerry post between 1971 and 1974, managing the duke's official diary and accompanying him on official visits.
He faces three counts of indecent assault on a girl under the age of 13 and one count of indecency with a child between January 1972 and January 1974.
The court heard the woman wrote in a letter to her brother last year: "He groomed and manipulated me and assaulted me four or five times."
Defence counsel Nerida Harford-Bell accused her of making up "lies", hating "posh people" and hunting for attention.
She also suggesting the woman was "hoping to get money from this".
The woman told the court: "I don't want any money, I don't want his wretched money. I don't want anybody's money."
Members of Mr Herman's family in the public gallery wept as the exchange took place.
The trial continues. | A woman who claims she was "groomed" and sexually abused by a former royal aide told a jury she had not made up the story and did not "want his money". | 32799303 | [

Barry Gray's side have taken maximum points from their last four matches, scoring 12 goals and conceding none.
In the night's other two league games, Glenavon host Glentoran and Portadown travel to Ballinamallard United.
Carrick Rangers play Amateur League side Crumlin Star in a rearranged Irish Cup sixth round tie at Seaview.
The winners will have home advantage against Crusaders in the quarter-finals of the competition.
"We are just glad to have regular games. There has been so much 'is it going to be on, is it not going to be on' since we have had the problems with the pitch at Taylor's Avenue," said Carrick manager Gary Haveron.
Warrenpoint now lie just one point behind fellow strugglers Ballinamallard, Dungannon and Carrick at the foot of the table thanks to a seven-match unbeaten league run which stretches back two months.
"We are in a position now where nobody wants to sit out games. All the players are eager to get started again so everyone will be ready to go on Monday night," said 'Point boss Barry Gray.
"The players we brought in during January have brought a freshness to the changing room and competition for places.
"They have brought quality too and the players around them have stepped up to the mark.
"Whether it's enough given our poor start to the season, we'll have to wait a couple of months to find out."
Glentoran will be out to avenge a 4-1 sixth round Irish Cup defeat by Glentoran at the Oval when the sides meet again at Mourneview Park.
The Lurgan Blues must plan without striker Eoin Bradley, who was sent-off in the 1-1 draw with leaders Crusaders on Friday night.
Portadown central defender Ken Oman is suspended for his side's trip to Ferney Park after being dismissed in the victory over Linfield but Ronnie McFall's side should have Garry Breen and Sean Mackle available again.
Ports assistant manager Kieran Harding has hailed the impact made by ex-Linfield and Derry City midfielder Philip Lowry since his recent arrival at Shamrock Park.
"Philip has outstanding energy and he covers the ground. If we had him from the start of the season, we may not be in the position we are in," argued Harding, whose side have moved up to seventh in the standings.
Mallards boss Whitey Anderson lamented his team's performance in a 3-0 loss to Warrenpoint on Friday and has made clear that he expects more from his players.
"You can try to play all the good football you want, but unless you can display heart and desire it counts for nothing. That's what I want to see," said Anderson.

Southern Water said the pipe burst in Chestnut Avenue had affected homes in the SO53 and SO16 postcodes leaving them with no water or low pressure.
The company said supplies would gradually return to normal later as the main was being repaired.
Chestnut Avenue is expected to remain closed until Friday as the burst had caused substantial damage.

The idea of the UK paying for tariff-free access to the EU's internal market has been mooted in recent days.
The foreign secretary told the BBC's Andrew Marr that the question of whether the UK would pay anything at all was "pure speculation", but if it did, any payments had to be "sensible".
Critics say leaving the single market would be an "act of self-harm".
Former Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg said remaining in the single market of 500 million customers was the "least economically disruptive form of Brexit", and, in return for this, the UK should be granted powers for an "emergency brake" on migration from the EU.
Negotiations on the terms of exit from the EU will not officially begin until the UK begins the Article 50 process - which Theresa May has said will happen by the end of March.
Pressed on suggestions by his cabinet colleague, the Brexit secretary David Davis, that the UK could pay for tariff-free access to the single market, Mr Johnson - who was a prominent Leave campaigner - said he was not "going to get into the minutiae" before negotiations began.
Analysis by Ellie Price, BBC political correspondent
He talked a lot in the EU referendum campaign about taking back control. Now Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson is keen to show he hasn't changed his tune.
But he seems to be singing from a slightly different song sheet to that his cabinet colleague, Brexit Secretary David Davis. On Thursday, Mr Davis suggested the government would consider paying the EU to maintain access to the single market.
Boris Johnson said no decision had been taken, and he seemed to favour more limited payments to the EU, including student exchanges and research programmes.
Labour say Britain's membership of the single market is crucial and will define the difference between a so-called hard or soft Brexit.
"That is something that obviously David Davis is considering. It doesn't mean that a decision has been taken," he said.
The EU, he insisted, wanted a "partnership" with the UK and that would involve a degree of mutual co-operation, for instance the UK continuing to partly funding the Erasmus education exchange scheme.
But he hinted that this would not extend to actually paying to get access to the single market without any penalties or extra levies.
"I have given you an indication of the kind of payments that I think might be sensible," he told Andrew Marr.
"My own view is that I see no reason why those payments should be large. And I do see a big opportunity for us to spend the money we are getting back on other priorities."
The government has yet to set out its negotiating objectives in detail but ministers are coming under growing pressure to avoid a so-called "hard Brexit" - a term coined by Remain supporters to describe what they say would be the impact of the UK giving up its membership of the single market
Brexit supporters say continued membership of the single market is only possible if the UK continues to accept rules on the free movement of EU citizens and the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice - which they say is unacceptable.
Mr Johnson said Brexit presented the chance to "take back control of our borders, to take back control of quite large sums of money, not to be run by the European Court - so not to have EU law in this country, and fourthly... to be able to do free trade deals".
The EU is under pressure in many quarters to drive a hard bargain with the UK but Mr Johnson dismissed suggestions the UK would be punished for voting out.
"It may get pretty hairy at times and there may be some difficult bits, but beneath it all there is a massive fondness for the UK and a desire to do the best possible deal."
And in a separate interview with ITV's Peston on Sunday, he said foreign students should not be included in the official migration statistics - a view that contradicts current government policy.
Labour's shadow Brexit Secretary Keir Starmer said the choice was between an "isolated, hard Brexit and a collaborative, co-operative Brexit" and while Labour would not stand in the way of triggering Article 50, he said it would oppose a deal which resulted in an "arms-length" relationship with the single market.
Mr Clegg, now Lib Dem EU spokesman, told the BBC's Sunday Politics he would oppose Brexit unless single market membership and a referendum on the final deal were guaranteed. | The UK should not have to pay "large" sums to the EU to trade with it after Brexit, Boris Johnson has said. | 38200112 | [

The offers to protect religious sites have come from Muslims who include military servicemen, lawyers and Emmy Award-winning TV broadcasters.
The JCC Association of North America, a network of cultural centres, reported more than 100 bomb threats against Jewish centres in the first two months of 2017.
On Monday alone, the organisation said another 31 threats were made against Jewish centres including a gunshot fired through a Hebrew school window at an Indiana synagogue.
In a tweet, a former Muslim marine, Tayyib Rashid, pledged: "If your synagogue or Jewish cemetery needs someone to stand guard, count me in. Islam requires it."
Mr Rashid, known by his Twitter handle @MuslimMarine adds in his Periscope video that "I've seen a tremendous outpouring of love and support from all Americans, from Muslims, from my fellow Jewish Americans, from Christians, from atheists, from everyone".
The former Marine welcomes people to meet him in a local coffee shop in his home town in Grayslake, Chicago, in his "initiative to help promote peace between Muslims and non-Muslims".
He aims to open dialogue about "the recent atrocities committed by some hateful people" that were responsible for the "destruction and desecration of the graves of people of Jewish faith".
He adds: "I condemn that wholeheartedly and I stand in solidarity with all my Jewish citizens."
His now-viral tweet that has been "liked" by 12,000 supporters prompted an overwhelming number of responses from Jewish Twitter users with one inviting him over for Seder,, a ceremonial dinner held on the first two nights of Passover.
Other Muslims, including Emmy Award-winning TV Broadcaster Momin Bhatti took to social media to pledge their support in his call to protect Jewish sites.
This latest show of solidarity comes shortly after an online Muslim-led crowdfunding campaign to help repair a vandalised Jewish cemetery raised more than $150,000 (£122,000).
On 20 February, more than 170 headstones were damaged at the Jewish cemetery just outside St. Louis, Missouri. In the same week, 100 headstones were overturned and broken at a Jewish cemetery in Philadelphia.
Unity between Muslim and Jewish organisations was also displayed after an online campaign to raise funds for an arson damaged mosque in Florida raised more than $70,000 (£57,000).
Adeel Karim, a member of the Islamic Society of New Tampa, posted on his Facebook profile that he was "floored" after realising that many of the donors to the campaign were Jewish.
"I couldn't understand why people were donating in what seemed like weird amounts to the cause. There are sums of 18, 36, 72 dollars etc. then I figured out after clicking on the names Avi, Cohen, Goldstein, Rubin, Fisher….
"Jews donate in multiples of 18 as a form of what is called 'Chai'. It wishes the recipient long life. "
President Trump opened his first speech to a joint session of Congress on 21 February by condemning the recent bomb threats and desecration of cemeteries.
"Recent threats targeting Jewish community centres and vandalism of Jewish cemeteries, as well as last week's shooting in Kansas City, remind us that while we may be a nation divided on policies, we are a country that stands united in condemning hate and evil in all its forms."
Written by Wais Bashir, UGC & Social News team | Following the recent spate of bomb threats against Jewish community centres and the desecration of graves at cemeteries in Philadelphia and St. Louis, some Muslims have turned to social media to offer to guard Jewish sites. | 39142831 | [

Ten Protestant workmen were killed when their minibus was ambushed in the south Armagh village in January 1976.
A file was passed to the PPS in August last year following the arrest of the suspect in Newry, County Armagh.
A palm print found on a van used in the murders was believed to belong to him.
However, on Thursday, the PPS said that "following careful consideration of the evidence", it had decided not to prosecute him.
The coroner is now giving consideration to the scheduling of dates for the inquest to recommence.
No one has been convicted for the Kingsmills atrocity.
The victims - textile factory workers - were shot dead when an IRA gang ambushed their mini-bus in 1976 near the County Armagh village of Kingsmills.
After checking their religion, the gang ordered one Catholic colleague to leave.
The 10 men killed were John Bryans, Robert Chambers, Reginald Chapman, Walter Chapman, Robert Freeburn, Joseph Lemmon, John McConville, James McWhirter, Robert Samuel Walker and Kenneth Worton.
Only one man survived the shootings - Alan Black, a 32-year-old father-of-three at the time.
He was seriously wounded and spent months recovering in hospital.
Outlining the PPS decision, casework assistant director Michael Agnew said: "We have given careful consideration to all the evidence currently available and have applied the test for prosecution.
"We have concluded that there is no reasonable prospect of a conviction, based on the available evidence and that the test for prosecution is therefore not met."
The sole survivor of the atrocity, Alan Black, expressed disappointment that no-one has been held to account for the murders.
However, he added: "At the same time, it lets us get on with the inquest, so maybe we'll get a few more questions answered through the inquest process.
"The PPS have really explained pretty well what they went on and how they made the decision and I'm reasonably satisfied that it was all above board.
"A policeman came to the door early this morning and handed me an envelope containing their decision and how they came to it.
"They seem to be pretty thorough about it all and I can understand why they didn't go forward with this prosecution."
Asked if he believes justice will ever be served on those who killed the workmen, Mr Black replied: "That is a question I cannot answer, unless the gunmen take an attack of conscience and come forward, I doubt we will get all the truth, but we may get some. I am hopeful that we will get some answers."
Mr Agnew said that the families of those murdered had been informed of the decision and the reasons for it, and that the PPS had offered to meet them "to answer any further questions that they may have".
"We are also conscious that inquest proceedings are currently adjourned to allow for any criminal matters to be concluded and accordingly have advised the coroner of this decision," he added. | The Public Prosecution Service (PPS) has decided not to prosecute a man arrested last year in relation to the Kingsmills massacre. | 38920253 | [

The Scottish Fishermen's Federation (SFF) had taken a neutral stance before the 23 June referendum.
Members have now met in the wake of the result, and said Brexit was the preferred option.
The SFF is due to meet Fisheries Minister Fergus Ewing on Monday for talks about the way forward.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has said one of her priorities is to protect Scotland's place in the EU.
SFF chief executive Bertie Armstrong said the two standpoints seem to be incompatible.
He told BBC Scotland: "There is a gap between the two ambitions.
"For the fishing industry it's a complete no brainer - we should be out the EU and out the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP)."
A Scottish government spokesman said: "As the First Minister has stated, we are intent on pursuing all options to maintain Scotland's EU status.
"The first minister also made it clear during questions in parliament yesterday that she is aware of the feelings of the fishing industry and others who did not vote to remain.
"Although her priority continues to be the clear majority of people across Scotland who did vote to remain in the EU, she is keen for ministers to engage closely with the industry to listen to their concerns."
He added: "We are committed to ensuring Scotland's interests are at the heart of any EU decisions taken on fishing and ministers are continuously engaging in discussions with key stakeholders, this includes meeting with the Scottish Fishermen's Federation again on Monday."
The UK voted to leave the EU. The vote north of the border was to remain.
A flotilla of fishing boats sailed up the Thames to urge Parliament take back control of British waters last month.
The Scottish government said before the result that EU membership was in the "best interests" of Scotland's fishing industry.
In 2014, Scotland exported £449m of fish and seafood to Europe - 68% of the total value of Scottish food exports into that market.
Worldwide, seafood exports are the second largest food and drink export behind whisky, and the industry supports thousands of jobs. | The fishing industry wants out of the EU in the face of Scottish government efforts to keep the country in, ministers are being told. | 36683220 | [

The world's most experienced space flier was also joined by two crewmates, including Denmark's first-ever astronaut.
Andreas Mogensen of the European Space Agency and Aidyn Aimbetov both spent less than 10 days in orbit.
The three spacemen made their parachute landing in central Kazakhstan after leaving the International Space Station (ISS) at 9.39pm on Friday.
Mogensen said the crew had had "a fantastic mission" at the ISS, whose nine members represented five different nationalities at the time.
"This is a superb example of what can be achieved together when we work together across borders and boundaries," he added.

Radical preachers will be banned from posting material online and anyone with convictions for extremist activity will be barred from working with children.
Deradicalisation classes will be made mandatory for others deemed a threat.
But Muslim leaders warned the strategy "continues down a flawed path" and risks "alienating" Muslims in the UK.
Also among the measures within the counter-extremism strategy are:
Prime Minister David Cameron said the plan would work because it was "comprehensive" .
"It's no good leaving this simply to the police or the intelligence services. It's no good simply talking about violent extremism. We need to confront all extremism," he said.
He said its effectiveness would be measured by whether people were being turned away from extremism, stopped from travelling to fight for IS, and by having "more cohesive and integrated communities".
Home Secretary Theresa May said non-violent extremism could not go "uncontested" as it led to the erosion of women's rights, the spread of intolerance and bigotry and the separation of some communities "from the mainstream".
She said that applied to neo-Nazi extremism just as much as Islamist doctrine.
The Muslim Council of Britain has released a highly-critical statement in response to the plans.
Secretary general Dr Shuja Shafi said the strategy would "reinforce perceptions that all aspects of Muslim life must undergo a 'compliance' test to prove our loyalty to this country".
"These measures could be seen more as a means to address the anxieties a minority of people may have against Muslims and their religious life, rather than the scourge of terrorism itself," he said.
Dr Shafi also said he detected "McCarthyist undertones" in the plans to create blacklists and exclude and ban people those deemed to be extremists.
Mr Mohammed Shafiq, chief executive of the Ramadhan Foundation, said the announcement was a "missed opportunity to really engage the Muslim community".
But Fiyaz Mughal, director of the interfaith Faith Matters organisation, said there was much in the plans that could "help in the battle against those who promote extremism".
Robin Brant, BBC political correspondent
At the heart of this considerable strategy on counter extremism are two significant challenges for the prime minister: the internet and the law.
Getting inciteful content off the web and getting "counter narrative" content up there is key to harnessing the full potential of a medium that IS has already mastered.
There has been much focus on the mosques but bedroom radicalisation is something the prime minister and MI5 worry intensely about.
The process of trying to persuade Facebook, Twitter and other social media giants to help is ongoing.
On the second point, the plans to introduce new powers to restrict what extremists can do and where they can go are still in their legal infancy.
The government concedes they will need to be properly targeted. It is still consulting with lawyers and community groups to try to get the balance right.
Police estimate at least 700 people from the UK have travelled to support or fight for jihadist organisations in Syria and Iraq, such as the so-called Islamic State, and the government believes tackling non-violent extremism is key to stemming the flow of people.
Parents of children aged under 16 have had the power to request the cancellation of passports - even where a child has taken or hidden the actual document - since July.
That power is being extended to parents of 16 and 17-year-olds, allowing families to contact a passport office where officials will investigate their concerns before a final decision is taken by the home secretary.
Mrs May said the measure had only been used by "a small number" of parents since July, but it was part of a package of new powers that would help tackle extremism.
Shadow policing minister Jack Dromey said it was "crucial we get the balance right" and that Mr Cameron must "be very careful not to use the language he used earlier in the summer that somehow the Muslim community is not standing up to terrorism".
Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron said the announcements amounted to "rhetoric that may well divide communities and make our job of working with those communities to find and isolate terrorists and potential terrorists that much harder". | The home secretary has vowed to "systematically confront and challenge extremist ideology" as she detailed new curbs on those who "spread hate". | 34568574 | [

Police Scotland were called to investigate at the end of June when Annan Athletic failed to receive an end of season payment from the league.
The League Two side were expecting about £18,000 but the funds were paid into a fraudulent account.
BBC Scotland has learned that the money has been retrieved and that the police investigation continues.
The SPFL said it has been subject to further attempts at hacking and fraudulent activity as recently as this week. | The Scottish Professional Football League is warning clubs to be on their guard against online fraud. | 40886024 | [

John Clancy, Labour councillor for Quinton, beat closest rival Penny Holbrook in Monday night's ballot.
Ahead of the vote, he said providing new homes and improving existing social housing should be the authority's "top priority".
He will officially replace Sir Albert Bore on 1 December.
Mr Clancy, who has bid to become leader of the city council several times, was chosen in the ballot by the authority's 78 Labour councillors.
Updates on this story and others on Birmingham and Black Country
Sir Albert announced he would stand down as head of the self-styled "largest local authority in Europe".
A close call for a man waiting in the wings for more than a decade.
John Clancy has become leader of the Labour group after five attempts - and by just one vote. He will officially become leader of Birmingham City Council on 1st December when it's ratified at full council.
An English teacher for many years, he's no stranger to working in the public sector but he also had a spell as a solicitor, as well as a business lecturer.
His big message at a hustings last week was the council under his leadership can provide smarter financial decisions, political openness and free school meals for all primary age children.
Some critics from within the party are already saying they're worried he won't have the clout or the vision to make the huge and rapid improvement needed to keep government commissioners at bay.
The former Labour group leader's departure followed two other senior party figures, who resigned after criticising the way city was being run.
Ian Ward, the deputy leader of the local authority and councillor Barry Henley also stood for the position.
Mr Clancy, a former teacher and lecturer, has also pledged to widen access to free school meals for primary school children and expand regeneration outside the city centre.
Birmingham City Council has found itself under scrutiny from a government-appointed independent panel.
The panel was appointed at Sir Bob Kerslake's recommendation to oversee changes at the council.
Sir Bob's study was commissioned after a series of reports focussed on the council during an inquiry into the so-called Trojan Horse letter. | Birmingham City Council has elected a new leader - with the winning contender clinching the position by a single vote. | 34907832 | [

Matthew Cherrington, 32, from West Bromwich, murdered 26-year-old sex worker Lidia Pascale, who was last seen on 19 November 2014.
Her body was discovered more than two weeks later in Hope Street, West Bromwich.
Cherrington must serve a minimum of 19 years, Birmingham Crown Court was told.
The electrician arranged for Ms Pascale, who had been working as an escort, to visit his flat where he attacked and killed her, West Midlands Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said.
Ms Pascale, who had been staying in Smethwick, West Midlands, and Coventry, had suffered at least 11 blows to the head.
Judge Melbourne Inman told Cherrington he was "a very dangerous man capable of extreme unprovoked violence" who had "never shown any remorse or regret."
The CPS said Cherrington, of High Street, tried to "evade detection" and had blamed an associate for Ms Pascale's disappearance.
Mobile phone analysis showed he had contacted several escorts including Ms Pascale on the day of the murder, the CPS said.
Emily Lenham, from the CPS, said: "A very dangerous man has been convicted of a brutal and senseless crime."
A West Midlands Police spokesperson said the force was supporting Ms Pascale's family, who are from Tulcea in Romania. | A man convicted of bludgeoning to death a Romanian woman whose body was found in a wheelie bin has been jailed for life. | 32798998 | [

The "indigenisation law" has been blamed for choking off investment.
It has never been fully implemented and Mr Mugabe has previously said many sectors of the economy are exempt.
But it has been widely criticised, including by the IMF, for contributing to the collapse of the economy.
Zimbabwe shutdown: What is behind the protests?
Zimbabwe's pastor 'hero': #ThisFlag preacher
In March, Zimbabwe threatened to close all companies that failed to comply with the legislation, which was passed in 2008, before later saying banks would be exempt.
The government says the aim of the law is to empower the majority black population who were disadvantaged by colonial rule.
But critics say it has benefited Mr Mugabe's allies.
Speaking at the opening of parliament, Mr Mugabe also said the government would debate a bill on cybercrime.
Political activists say this could be used against opposition supporters using social media as a way of circumventing security laws banning gatherings without police permission.
There have been a number of protests against the government in recent months, largely because of the worsening economic situation. | Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe has announced plans to water down a contentious law obliging foreign companies to hand over most of their shares to black Zimbabweans. | 37581628 | [

Trams ran in the city between 1904 and 1953 before being replaced by buses.
In December, they returned to the streets with the opening of the Midland Metro service - the first part of a £128m project.
Once complete, trams from Wolverhampton will continue in to Birmingham, terminating at New Street station.
Roger Lawrence, chairman of the West Midlands Integrated Transport Authority said: "This is an opportunity to expand. Not just into the city centre but out to the airport.
"We will have a network to rival the best ones, like Manchester and Nottingham and even south London. Our network will equal those".
At its peak, the original tram network ran 230 million passenger journeys every year from Yardley to Dudley, and from Erdington down to the Lickey Hills.
Elsie Field, now 91, began working on the trams as a conductress when she was 18. Part of her job was using a pole to connect the tramcar to the overhead power lines.
She said although she was short-sighted she was "too proud to wear her glasses, so the connection was sometimes a bit hit-and-miss".
Tram enthusiast Geoffrey Claydon grew up in Birmingham and said he was disappointed when his regular commute was replaced by a bus service.
"I said why have the trams gone and was told 'Oh, they're old fashioned'. From that moment I thought I would be very supportive of trams, I would do my best to try and keep them where I can for the rest of my life".
When working as a government lawyer, Mr Claydon helped design the Transport and Works Act of 1992, which paved the way for the Midland Metro Line.
"I can now feel quite smug. It was an immense satisfaction that I've lived long enough to see trams back and the poor souls who got rid of them have been proved wrong".
Inside Out West Midlands has a full report on the history and reintroduction of trams in Birmingham on BBC One, Monday at 19:30. | The reintroduction of trams to Birmingham will "give the city a network to rival the best", a transport official has said. | 35315282 | [

The Frenchman, 25, died on Friday as a result of head injuries suffered in a crash at the 2014 Japanese Grand Prix.
Chilton, who raced with Bianchi at Marussia in 2013 and 2014, dominated the race at Iowa Speedway to earn his first win in any series since 2012.
"I probably thought of Bianchi every five or 10 laps," said Chilton, 24.
"He was a driver destined to probably be a world champion," he added.
The Briton said he had learned of Bianchi's death on Friday night US time before going on to take a victory which saw him lead for 87 of the 100 laps at the 0.894-mile oval.
Chilton's win came as a surprise as he was sitting 10th out of 15 drivers in Indy Lights going into the weekend.
This was Chilton's ninth race in Indy Lights, his previous best finish being third.
Bianchi had been in a coma since crashing his Marussia into a recovery vehicle at October's rain-hit race in Suzuka.
"It's been a difficult nine months, to be brutally honest with you,'' Chilton said. "I've learned a lot from him and he was part of that win.'
As well as racing as Marussia team-mates for two years, the pair also competed in karting from the age of 10 before rising through the racing ranks together.
The Briton tweeted yesterday: "No words can describe what his family & the sport have lost. All I can say is it was a pleasure knowing and racing you." | Ex-Marussia driver Max Chilton dedicated his victory in the Indy Lights race on Saturday to his friend and former team-mate Jules Bianchi. | 33584600 | [

When Liverpool host Wolves in the FA Cup fourth round, it will be over two years since boyhood Reds fan Coady, now 23, was allowed to leave the club.
And he is intent only on helping his side become the third in a week to win at Anfield.
"We're going there to win and hopefully take the game to them," he told BBC WM.
Coady never got to play a home game in his three years at Anfield, with both his first-team appearances coming on the road, the second as a late sub for Philippe Coutinho in a 3-1 win at Fulham, his only one in the Premier League.
After a season-long loan with Sheffield United, he eventually moved on to Huddersfield Town in August 2014 and then Wolves a year later.
But Coady knows, from his experience watching the Reds as a boy, that Liverpool do not have many slumps of the current magnitude and Wolves might have timed their trip to Anfield just right.
"We've got a great chance the way Liverpool are playing," he said. "They're a top team but they've had quite a lot of games."
Since Wolves won 2-0 in the third round at Stoke on 7 January, Paul Lambert's men have only played twice, while Liverpool have been in action six times.
Of those six games, they have won only once - the FA Cup third-round replay at League Two side Plymouth - have failed to score in three of them and have lost their last two at home.
Following the shock home defeat by Swansea City which damaged their Premier League title hopes, Wednesday's League Cup semi-final exit to Southampton has cast a cloud over Anfield.
"We've got to take that into account," said Coady. "We've got go there on the front foot, try to stop them playing, hopefully nick the ball and see if we can get something out of it."
And what if Coady himself were to find the net? "It would be what dreams are made of," he grinned. "I'm not one of those who wouldn't celebrate. I'd go ballistic to score for this club. It doesn't happen very often."
Wolves boss Lambert knows what it takes to win at Anfield. His Aston Villa side did so in December 2012, and Wolves loan signing Andreas Weimann was one of the Villa scorers that day in a 3-1 victory.
So can he do it again? Fourth in the Premier League v 18th in the Championship?
"We're up against an iconic club, and we're going to have to handle the atmosphere and the crowd, but I'd be disappointed if we couldn't handle the occasion," Lambert told BBC WM.
"If we can do that, we can win the game. And I believe in them. Mentally, they're ready for it. They'll handle it."
Lambert is keenly awaiting his reunion with Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, who he first met when they did the Pro Licence coaching course together in Germany in 2004.
He was playing for Celtic by then, long after he had helped Borussia Dortmund win the European Cup in 1997 and four years before Klopp took over as Dortmund boss in 2008.
"He was also at a club I was fortunate to play for," said Lambert. "There were connections between us and he went on to bring Dortmund back to where they should have been - two league titles, two cups and a kick away from winning the Champions League.
"He is a big character and a really top guy. Some interviews at the minute make me laugh." | Wolves midfielder Conor Coady will be fulfilling a boyhood dream when he finally gets to play a first-team game at Anfield on Saturday. | 38772176 | [

The composer, whose hits include The Phantom of the Opera, Cats and Evita, is charging between £25-£95 for his latest London musical School of Rock.
The average ticket price for a West End musical in 2016 was £49.28 - up almost 6% on the previous year.
"Theatre is incredibly labour intensive," he said.
"On the whole, the prices of West End theatre are incredibly reasonable considering the cost of what it is to put something on."
Last year, Lord Lloyd-Webber revealed that the physical running costs for one of his theatres was £38,000 per week.
On top of that, there are the costs of staging the production itself. The Financial Times estimated that the total weekly costs of a top musical are £150,000-£250,000.
And most musicals spend years in development. The Stage estimated that the budget for the Broadway production of Groundhog Day - not a Lloyd Webber production - was $18m (£14m).
Elsewhere in the West End, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child has a top price of £140, while Hamilton has £200 premium tickets for when it officially moves to London in December.
The topic of ticket costs often arouses strong feelings. Actor Andrew Scott recently called the high prices "disgusting", while last year, Mark Gatiss said theatre was an "exclusive club for rich white people".
Lord Lloyd-Webber also pointed out that UK theatre tickets include 20% VAT - while tickets in the US are not taxed.
The composer was speaking to BBC arts editor Will Gompertz's Heat Map programme on BBC 5 live, and also said he is currently looking for an idea for a new musical "rather desperately".
"I must say I don't think I've ever felt more excited about musicals," he said. "I feel like I'm back when I'm started."
That is partly down to a resurgence of the genre in the US with hit shows like Hamilton, Dear Evan Hansen and Come From Away. In comparison, the UK is coming up with few successful original musicals.
"Everything is so vibrant in America, which has always really been the home of musicals. Fourteen new musicals this year. I mean, fourteen. This year we've only had two in Britain."
Lord Lloyd-Webber made his name in the 1970s collaborating with lyricist Tim Rice on shows like Jesus Christ Superstar, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and Evita.
The pair haven't worked together on a full show since - but Lord Lloyd-Webber hasn't ruled out a reunion.
"It's a shame in a way we didn't go on writing together but we are very different people in several ways," he said.
"Never say never, but Tim has written the lyrics to the most successful musical currently playing in the world, which is The Lion King. He's got Beauty and the Beast, he's got Aladdin.
"He doesn't exactly need to write. If he wanted to do something, if he wanted to come to me with an idea... I think it would have to be him wanting to do the idea.
"If I went to him and said, 'Look, shall we do this?' I don't think he'd want to do that."
Lord Lloyd-Webber was speaking ahead of receiving an outstanding contribution honour at the South Bank Sky Arts Awards on Sunday.

The 12-nation trade deal was a linchpin of former President Barack Obama's Asia policy.
"Great thing for the American worker what we just did," said Mr Trump as he dumped the pact with a stroke of a pen.
He also cut funding for international groups that provide abortions, and froze hiring of some federal workers.
Mr Trump's executive order on TPP was largely symbolic since the deal has not been ratified by a divided US Congress.
During his presidential campaign, he criticised the accord as a "potential disaster for our country", arguing it harmed US manufacturing.
On Monday evening, his pick to be secretary of state, Rex Tillerson, was approved by the Senate Foreign Relations committee, and now requires confirmation from the full Senate.
The Trump administration's first weekday began with a flurry of executive orders, which allow the president to bypass Congress by issuing legally binding directions, mostly of limited scope, to federal agencies.
Mr Trump also signed an order blocking foreign aid or federal funding for any nongovernmental organisation that provides abortions abroad.
The so-called Mexico City policy was first established by Republican President Ronald Reagan in 1984.
It is typically rescinded by incoming Democratic presidents, including Barack Obama in 2009, and reinstated by Republican presidents.
Mr Trump also signed an executive action placing a hiring freeze on non-military federal workers.
After meeting business leaders earlier at the White House, Mr Trump pledged to lower corporate taxes to 15% or 20%, from the current 35%, and slash regulations by up to 75% if they keep jobs in the US.
Mr Trump - whose protectionist rhetoric sent the US dollar falling - also met labour leaders later on Monday.
Some of the measures he announced on Monday fulfil "Day One" pledges he made as a candidate in a speech in Gettysburg in October.
But perhaps inevitably, some of the promises he made on that day and at rallies during his campaign have not been kept, although he may get to them in the coming days and weeks.
The Trump administration has planned for a busy few weeks, according to the White House press secretary.
Sean Spicer said the president's nominee for Supreme Court Justice would come within the next couple of weeks.
And in his first proper White House press briefing, he said the US would block China from taking over contested islands in international waters in the South China Sea.
"I think the US is going to make sure that we protect our interests there," he said.
"It's a question of - if those islands are in fact in international waters and not part of China proper, then yeah, we're going to make sure that we defend international territories from being taken over by one country."
The start of the Trump administration has looked less like a well-planned parade and more like the running of the bulls in Pamplona. But is there order behind this chaos?
The president and his press secretary spent the weekend blasting the press and its coverage of the inauguration - and that rolling feud unsurprisingly dominated headlines.
Behind the scenes, however, Republicans in the executive branch and Congress are getting down to the business of advancing their political agenda.
The president issued executive orders on trade and abortion on Monday. Congressional committees will soon begin hammering out tax and healthcare legislation.
The bumpy start to Mr Trump's presidency has some questioning whether the president is squandering his power, which traditionally is at its height in the first few months of a presidential term.
Power, however, is what you make of it - and the real test of Mr Trump's strength won't be in the tut-tutting of newspaper editorial pages over tweets and ad-libbed speeches, it will be policies enacted and legislation signed.
While it's easy to dismiss Mr Trump's moves as missteps, if conservatives continue to charge through the chaos, they may learn to love their new president's unconventional style.
The US Senate was also expected vote on Mr Trump's nomination of Mike Pompeo to be CIA director.
Rex Tillerson's nomination as secretary of state was effectively guaranteed on Monday as Senator Marco Rubio dropped his objections.
Meanwhile, Mr Spicer said it was "unquestionable" that Mr Trump's inauguration "was the most watched" ever.
Although Ronald Reagan's was top in terms of television figures, attracting 41.8 million viewers, Mr Spicer pointed out that the 30.6 million who tuned in to see Mr Trump take the oath of office did not include the millions who watched the ceremony online.
His remarks followed Mr Trump's stinging attack at the weekend on media reporting of attendance figures and the weather at his inauguration. | President Donald Trump has fulfilled a campaign pledge by signing an executive order to withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). | 38721056 | [

James Holmes, 24, is accused of opening fire at a midnight showing of the new Batman movie last Friday, killing 12 and wounding 58.
Judge William Sylvester has denied a request by Denver-area media for expanded coverage on 30 July.
The suspect's lawyers had objected to the media's request.
His first court appearance on Monday was filmed, despite the defence team's objections.
He appeared dazed as he sat in court in a burgundy jail suit with dyed orange hair, prompting media speculation about his mental state.
According to a report on ABC News
, the suspect has been forced to wear a face guard because he kept spitting at prison officers.
Judge Sylvester's order on Tuesday follows calls from some victims' family members to avoid using the suspect's name and his photos.
"I don't want the media to be saturated with the shooter's name," said Jordan Ghawi, whose 24-year-old sister Jessica was killed in the shooting.
Police were not allowing residents of Mr Holmes' apartment building to return on Tuesday, as investigators continued to work there.
Officials reportedly found 30 grenades and several gallons of gasoline inside the apartment, rigged into a booby-trap.
Twenty of the wounded remained in hospital on Tuesday, including six in critical condition.
Batman star Christian Bale visited victims at the Medical Center of Aurora in the afternoon, the hospital's president confirmed.
"It was good for the patients," Bill Voloch told the Denver Post. "We hope it was therapeutic for them, and all the staff really appreciated him coming."
Mr Voloch said that the actor had asked to visit, but requested that the media not be notified. A Facebook photo of Bale at the hospital was posted online.
The BBC's Alastair Leithead says the actor also met paramedics, doctors and police officers involved in treating people in the aftermath, as well as visited a makeshift memorial to the dead.
Meanwhile, a heavily pregnant 21-year-old woman who escaped the cinema shootings gave birth to a baby boy on Tuesday morning.
Katie Medley's husband Caleb, a 23-year-old aspiring comedian, was shot in the head and remains in a critical condition.
A small group of Democratic lawmakers in Washington renewed calls on Tuesday to ban high-capacity gun magazines.
But with November's elections looming, congressional leaders and President Barack Obama said there would be no movement on gun control in the near future.
Senator Robert Menendez, among the few calling for tougher laws, conceded calls for legislation were unlikely to succeed, but said it was important to start a debate.
"I hope that this does spark a national conversation about where we go in terms of reasonable gun control measures," Sen Menendez said.
The shooting has heightened security at cinemas, and over the weekend three men were arrested in separate incidents: | Cameras will be banned from next week's hearing when the suspect in the Colorado cinema shooting is to be formally charged, a judge has ruled. | 18977190 | [

Yet again, you feel for the families of those killed on board, and the people that actually survived the ordeal.
It seems never ending. In less than a year two Malaysian aircraft have been lost, with 537 people on board.
The AirAsia accident - en route to Singapore in December - killed 162. It is not just the accidents. It's the fact that whole aircraft are going down without warning.
You would be forgiven for thinking that flying is becoming more lethal.
But you would be wrong.
In fact, when you look at the number of crashes and fatalities compared to the huge number of people flying today (3.2 billion passengers last year), we are in a golden era of aircraft safety.
According to safety analysts Ascend, 2014 was narrowly the safest year ever, with one fatal accident per 2.38 million flights, compared to every 1.91 million flights the year before.
It must be noted that that does not include the loss of the Malaysian airliner over Ukraine, where 298 people died, which they count as a war loss rather than an accident.
But even with that flight added it is not a terrible year, historically.
Another respected organisation, the Aviation Safety Network, registers 21 fatal accidents in 2014 (this time including Ukraine), compared to 29 in 2013 and 23 the year before that.
Nearly 1,000 people died in 2014, which is 700 more than the year before.
Horrible numbers, but compare that to the worst year, 1972, when 2,370 passengers were killed - and far fewer people were flying then, maybe a quarter of the number travelling today.
So why is flying getting safer? Well, technology.
"Think of your car in the 1970s", David Learmount, from Flightglobal tells me.
"The brakes, the handling, the lack of safety features. Well, aircraft are exactly the same.
"We knew most things about aerodynamics by the 1940s. What has changed is the technology."
Every new generation of aircraft has been safer than the one before. Better computers, design, materials.
But there is another sobering factor at play here too. Every tragedy has taught designers something new.
Go back a couple of decades and the biggest killer was something called Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT).
A benign name with a morbid outcome, it normally involved a perfectly serviceable aircraft coming into land, then hitting something on the ground without the crew even knowing it was there.
Many airports are near hills.
Then along came a piece of equipment that was to transform safety: the Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System.
"It's like a sat nav that can help you thread your way through hills and mountains, even in clouds", David says.
Here is another example of how disaster has led to safer flying.
In 1985 a British Airtours aircraft was taking off from Manchester Airport, en route to Corfu.
The pilots aborted at the last minute because one of the engines failed, but the aircraft was also on fire.
Fifty-four people died fleeing the smoke, the aisles were jammed with passengers panicking to get out.
Next time you fly, look at the floor.
You will probably see strip lights along both sides of the aisle, then they turn and lead to each exit.
That idea comes straight from the Manchester fire. The lights mean passengers can find the exit, even crawling on their hands and knees through thick smoke.
"Our founder was actually working on emergency guide lights to help people escape from nuclear power stations and submarines," says Nigel Duncan, boss of STG aerospace.
"This accident made him realise they could be used in planes too".
Nigel's company now supplies guiding lights for the floors of 9,000 airliners. They are photoluminescent, "which means they are fail-safe".
"It's a chemical process so they don't need power - sever it and it still works," he says.
For the most part, computers fly modern airliners.
And they are very good at it. But all of this safety-driven automation has led to a new safety concern that is uncomfortable to hear.
Pilots don't get enough practice at actually flying planes. The computer has taken them out of the loop.
Six years ago, Air France flight 447 crashed into the Atlantic, killing 228 people.
Yet there was nothing critically wrong with the plane.
So why did it crash? Well, the weather was bad and a small tube froze up, knocking out the speed indicator.
The actual speed was fine, but the speed data on their screens was all over the place.
Suddenly, the computer didn't know how fast it was going, and it handed control back to the pilots.
Confused, in bad weather, in darkness and taken by surprise, they couldn't work out what was happening, so they kept climbing to the point where the aircraft stalled, effectively stopping in mid-air and falling from the sky.
Unsurprisingly, plenty in the industry want more hands-on training for pilots.
"A few years ago the airlines used to get more crew from the military and those guys were used to manually flying aircraft right on the edge", David Learmount tells me.
"Today, many pilots don't have that kind of background training."
Having said all of that, just bear in mind:
Nothing is ever without risk, but the chances of dying in an aircraft "accident" are lower than ever. | Yet again, we are looking at shocking pictures of a plane crash. | 31133246 | [

Peers were due to resume line-by-line scrutiny on 9 February but that has now been put back until 22 February.
The Scottish government wants a deal concluded by 12 February to allow time for it to be examined at Holyrood.
Scottish Secretary David Mundell has informed Holyrood's Devolution Committee of the delay.
The negotiations on the fiscal framework - the financial arrangements underpinning the transfer of new powers to the Scottish Parliament - have proved both protracted and complicated.
The Scottish government has said there is still "some distance to go" before a deal can be agreed and threatened to veto any formula that was "unfair to Scotland".
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon warned recently that Scotland stood to lose billions of pounds over the next few years under the Treasury's current proposals.
Talks between the two governments are due to resume in Edinburgh on Monday.
In a letter to Holyrood's Devolution Committee, Scottish Secretary David Mundell said: "The fiscal framework talks are continuing, and I am optimistic about the process. I am doing everything I can to secure an agreement which is durable and fair to taxpayers in Scotland and the rest of the UK.
"All through the process we have made time for these issues to be properly considered and discussed, and that remains the case.
"I want to ensure both the Scottish Parliament and the House of Lords have as much information as possible for their consideration. It has been agreed, therefore, that the next parliamentary stage of the Scotland Bill will be rescheduled.
"This will allow more time for negotiations between the Scottish and UK Governments to progress. I am confident both parliaments will have the opportunity to properly consider the Scotland Bill and the fiscal framework before the Scottish Parliament's dissolution on March 23."
Deputy First Minister John Swinney responded to Mr Mundell's letter, promising the Scottish government would do "all we can" to secure an agreement.
But he added: "We will not sign up to any proposed agreement which short changes Scotland by locking in long-term cuts to our budget.
"We are working to a deadline of February 12th for talks to be concluded because the Scottish Parliament requested this, as members need time to properly scrutinise and vote on an agreed fiscal framework package before it is dissolved next month ahead of May's election - but we will give all the time possible to secure a deal."
Earlier the Treasury minister negotiating on behalf of the UK government said he was "confident" a deal would be reached.
Greg Hands said he had cleared his diary for a full day of talks in Edinburgh next Monday and he remained "upbeat" that an agreement would be struck.
What is the fiscal framework?
He told the Commons Scottish Affairs Committee: "I'm ready to deal. I'm off to Edinburgh on Monday and I remain upbeat on that possibility.
"The UK government remains committed to getting that deal."
An agreement would set out how Scotland's annual block grant from the Treasury will be adjusted to take account of the new tax powers.
Mr Hands insisted the proposals will provide "huge new opportunities" for the Scottish government to grow the economy.
The deal must be "fair to taxpayers in Scotland and fair to taxpayers in the rest of the UK", he told the committee.
Mr Hands said: "Neither Scotland nor the rest of the UK should be better or worse off as result of the initial act of devolution.
"Thereafter, the Scottish government should bear the fruit of good policy decisions and the consequences of poor policy decisions."
The committee chairman, SNP MP Pete Wishart, warned that Mr Hands and Scottish Finance Secretary John Swinney appeared to have "very different perspectives" on the long-running negotiations.
"There does seem to be some distance to go in terms of getting an agreement on this," Mr Wishart said.
Scottish Labour had earlier called for the 12 February deadline to be abandoned, and said neither side should walk away until a deal is reached.
The party has criticised a lack of transparency in negotiations and called on minutes of meetings to be published.
Shadow Scottish Secretary Ian Murray said: "Over the past few days we have seen the negotiations descend into a blame game.
"People across Scotland will not understand that after the negotiation for more powers, this deal could fall apart at the last minute." | The Scotland Bill's passage through the House of Lords has been delayed while wrangling over the fiscal framework continues. | 35478408 | [

Christopher Clarke, 29, contacted girls, aged 15 and 16 at the time, via Facebook, Snapchat and Twitter.
He also bought the Ysgol Bro Dinefwr pupils gifts including T-shirts, earrings, sweets and games consoles.
An Education Workforce Council hearing concluded his actions amounted to professional misconduct.
One girl told how Mr Clarke sent her a message saying: "I kept having the same thought over and over again. How much I wanted to grab you, kiss you..."
The girl, now 19, said he also invited her to one-on-one sessions in his chemistry office and told her not to show anyone the gifts her gave her.
Another girl, now 17, said his actions made her feel uncomfortable and he was "acting in a creepy nature".
A third student said she told Mr Clarke she thought his messages were inappropriate and he later asked her to delete their conversation.
Police investigated but no charges were brought against Mr Clarke.
The school also began an investigation but he resigned before any findings were made.
Education Workforce Council chairman, Steve Powell, said Mr Clarke's conduct "clearly breached boundaries between teachers and pupils".
"His actions fell very short of the standards expected of a registered person and amounted to unacceptable professional conduct," he added. | A Carmarthenshire teacher who sent thousands of sexual messages to three pupils has been banned from teaching for five years. | 39371292 | [

Having undergone significant restoration, it will make its first journey in ten years along the East Coast mainline.
The steam engine was initially built in Doncaster, but took its name from the Edinburgh to London service on which it ran.
After the last original locomotive class member was withdrawn in 1966, the train toured the world, becoming an icon of British engineering.

Jordan McNab, 21, and two others entered 48-year-old Ian Dickson's flat in East Kilbride on 20 November 2014.
Following a prolonged attack, the victim suffered facial bruising, a collapsed lung and a fractured rib and would have died without medical help.
McNab admitted a charge of assault to severe injury and danger of life. He faces jail when sentenced later.
The High Court in Glasgow heard that McNab, along with two others, entered Mr Dickson's home through an unsecured window.
Mr Dickson was punched, kicked and hit with a baseball bat and a piece of wood over a period of 20 to 30 minutes.
Neighbours who heard a disturbance called the police shortly after 02:00.
When officers arrived they found both back windows ajar and Mr Dickson lying injured on the floor in the back bedroom.
The entire flat appeared to have been ransacked.
Mr Dickson was given first aid and taken by ambulance to the South Lanarkshire town's Hairmyres Hospital.
When police searched the flat they found a wallet containing bank cards and identification in the name of Jordan McNab.
McNab, from East Kilbride, was later detained and found to have Mr Dickson's blood on his clothing.
He was originally charged with attempted murder but has his guilty plea to the lesser charge accepted.
The motive for the break-in and attack is still not known.
Judge John Morris deferred sentence on McNab until next month. | A man who broke into a flat and brutally beat the householder was caught after he left his wallet behind. | 35882715 | [

Most flights coming out of or landing in Chile's main airports were cancelled or delayed.
The strike hit Chile in the busy run-up to the Christmas holiday period, leaving thousands of people stranded.
The airport ground workers' union called the strike after the government rejected their request to join the more generous Chilean military pension plan.
Some 3,000 luggage handlers, airport security and weather forecasters at 12 Chilean airports joined the strike.
Airport workers had gone on strike for 24 hours in September over the same issue.
This time the stoppage was meant to last 48 hours but it took four days for both sides to reach an understanding.
Their differences have not been solved, but the employees have agreed to resume talks.
Chilean Defence Minister Jose Antonio Gomez apologised for the disruption and said that airport staff would put in extra effort to try to bring the situation back to normal as quickly as possible.
"We will go the extra mile together with the airlines, with all of our staff and also with workers from the civil aviation authority to reverse this situation," said Mr Gomez.
Chile's flagship carrier, LAN, which is part of LATAM Airlines, said it would add 16 domestic flights to its daily schedule in the next few days.
But the airlines it will take days to take everyone to their destinations, as flights were already booked up before the strike began on Thursday. | Airport workers in Chile have agreed to end a four-day strike that led to major disruption. | 35148805 | [

The protest by the Gorkha Janamukti Morcha party is demanding a separate state for Nepali-speaking Gorkhas.
A large number of paramilitary troops and police have been deployed to maintain peace in the hill region.
Tourism and tea production will be worst hit by the strike, locals say.
The strike began at 06:00 India time (00:30GMT) on Monday and reports say there is little traffic on the highway that connects Darjeeling with the town of Siliguri in the plains of north Bengal.
About a dozen supporters of the Gorkha Janamukti Morcha (GJM) were held after they set a motorcycle and a car on fire in the Rambi area, the Press Trust of India news agency said.
Supporters also blocked roads in the region.
Darjeeling town was largely deserted with tourists staying away from the hills.
Reports said 1,000 GJM supporters were protesting at Chowkbazar with party flags, while large gatherings were also reported from Jorbungalow, Mirik and Sukhiapokhri.
Roads were also barricaded by the GJM in Kalimpong and Kurseong towns.
The GJM has written to PM Manmohan Singh urging him to accept their demand for a separate state they want named Gorkhaland.
"Our demand for Gorkhaland is an old one and generations of our people have fought for it. Now we want it because we see no future for us in West Bengal," said GJM general secretary Roshan Giri.
Mr Giri said as the Congress-led government in Delhi was "considering" creating a new state of Telangana to be carved out of the southern state of Andhra Pradesh, "it was about time they concede Gorkhaland".
"Our demand for a separate state is as old, as justified and meaningful as that of a separate Telangana," he added.
In June 2011, the GJM signed a deal with the Indian government and the government of West Bengal state for greater autonomy.
The deal paved the way for the setting up of a Gorkhaland Territorial Administration (GTA), an elected body for the Darjeeling hills.
It is not clear whether the GJM will now relinquish its responsibility of running the GTA.
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerji has said she is upset with the revived agitation and warned that it will be "tackled in a tough way if it turned violent".
The Gorkha campaign for a separate state started in the early 1980s.
But a settlement that gave them considerable autonomy brought the movement to an end in 1988.
However, five years ago, the movement was resumed by Gorkha hardliners who say the autonomy arrangement has not worked. | A 72-hour strike called by the main Gorkha ethnic group in India's West Bengal state has brought life to a standstill in the tea-producing Darjeeling hills. | 23486558 | [

My Brother is a Superhero is focused on Luke - named after Solomons' own son - whose brother Zack is given special powers to help save two universes.
Winning Solomons £5,000, the book sees Luke miss out on the powers because he went to the toilet at the wrong time.
Solomons previously adapted E Nesbit's Five Children and It for the 2004 film.
Eddie Izzard and Kenneth Branagh both appeared in the big screen version.
The winners of the best illustrated book and best older fiction categories were also first-time authors.
David Litchfield's The Bear and the Piano was named the best illustrated book, while writer and actress Lisa Williamson's The Art of Being Normal won in the best older fiction category.
Solomons had been named as the winner of the best younger fiction book before being named as the overall winner of the prize, voted for by booksellers, at a ceremony at Waterstones' Piccadilly bookshop in London.
Waterstones children's buyer Florentyna Martin said: "My Brother is a Superhero is that rare thing - a hugely funny book for young readers that is also rip-roaringly exciting.
"It is infused with the spirit of larger than life heroes and colourful comic book trivia that enthrals younger readers and delights superhero fans of all ages, yet at its heart is a touching relationship between siblings.
"Given the author's background it's no surprise it is hugely cinematic, but it is also full of wonderful writing and so brilliantly plotted that one never knows what to expect next."
The book chain's managing director James Daunt added: "The quality of the books on the shortlists this year was exceptional, reflecting the vibrant health of the children's book market.
"That our winners were all first books, and each from a flourishing independent publisher, reflects how blessed we are currently by the breadth of creative talent in this country."
Litchfield's book is about a bear who teaches himself to play the piano, while Williamson's is focused on LGBT issues and tells the story of two teenagers and their struggle with identity. | Screenwriter David Solomons has won the Waterstones Children's Book Prize with his debut about an 11-year-old boy obsessed with comics. | 35834409 | [

Fifty-nine people had died up until and including Thursday, and 617 others had been infected, bringing the total affected to 7,359, the ministry added.
The news came as the local authorities and relief agencies attempted to get clean drinking water to those areas worse affected by Hurricane Tomas.
The storm caused flooding and left eight people dead in western Haiti.
The charity, Save the Children, said that in Leogane, the streets had been turned into "rivers" and some 35,000 people had been affected.
By Laura TrevelyanBBC News, Leogane
The UN estimates 15,000 people in Leogane have been affected by the floods.
Amercie lost her home when January's earthquake flattened this small town west of Port Au Prince. And now her tent has been flooded because the river burst its banks.
The mother-of-three is sitting opposite Leogane's cemetery, where family tombs lie on their sides, cracked in two by the quake, now surrounded by water.
Amercie is worried the combination of dead bodies and stagnant water from the flooding could spread the cholera outbreak to here, where so far no cases have been reported.
Next to Amercie, Jean Pierre, a farmer who just planted what he hoped would be a new crop of banana trees and yams, says the flood has washed away his plantation.
His childhood home collapsed in January's quake; the house he built afterwards has just flooded. No-one is helping, he says angrily.
As we leave, the sun has come out and the flood waters are receding. The market is open, and the merchants are selling fruit and vegetables, trying to make a living as best they can.
The BBC's Laura Trevelyan in the town said the water reached her knees, and that people were afraid of the risk of disease.
There was also flooding in Les Cayes, Jacmel and Gonaives, while many mountain towns have been cut off by flooded roads and landslides.
There was widespread relief on Friday after Hurricane Tomas passed without destroying the tented camps in and around the capital, Port-au-Prince, housing about 1.3 million survivors of January's earthquake.
However, attention soon turned to preventing the spread of cholera, which is caused by bacteria transmitted through contaminated water or food, in the unsanitary conditions.
Cholera causes diarrhoea and vomiting, leading to severe dehydration, but can kill quickly. It is treated easily through rehydration and antibiotics.
A spokesman for the Pan-American Health Organisation, Christian Lindmeier, told the Reuters news agency: "Cholera is a water-borne disease and so additional water means additional risk."
"We do expect the infection rate to jump up due to the flooding and to the bad sanitation conditions in many areas," he said.
In the town of Saint Marc, in the northern region where the outbreak began three weeks ago, a Cuban doctor in charge of the local hospital said there had been more cases of cholera since the hurricane.
BBC Health: Cholera
Cholera 'difficult to predict'
"The situation here - after the storm - has worsened," Dr Buenaventura Sanchez told the Associated Press.
"We are seeing higher numbers [of cases] than in the days before, and we are also seeing cases of cholera with typhoid fever at the same time."
Like cholera, typhoid is caught by consuming contaminated food or drink that has been handled by an infected person, or if contaminated sewage gets into water used for drinking or washing food. It can also be fatal if not treated.
Gary Shaye, the country director of Save the Children, said thousands of children in Leogane were now at increased risk of diarrhoeal diseases.
On Friday, Haiti's government and the United Nations appealed to donors for nearly $19m to cover urgent humanitarian needs. | The death toll from the current cholera epidemic in Haiti has exceeded 500, the country's health ministry has said. | 11704945 | [

Emergency services were called to the scene at Main Road, where the A78 Largs to Seamill road was closed to traffic.
The woman's 60-year-old husband and the lorry driver, 54, were rescued and taken to hospital with minor injuries.
The building is split into five homes and the couple had been watching television in their bottom-floor flat.
One other man who was in the building at the time was evacuated unhurt.
Another resident Callum Calvey had been out at work when the lorry struck the building at about 13:45.
"My bathroom has been wiped out," said the 21-year-old tree surgeon, who lives directly upstairs from the the couple.
"There are five flats and none of the other residents are about, but I believe the couple's dog got out as well."
Photographer Arlene Foster, who works for Anna Conway Photography, was quickly at the scene from her local shop.
"The lorry is literally in someone's front room," she told BBC Scotland.
"The lorry seems to have been going towards Ardrossan but hit the building on the opposite side of the road.
"Fortunately, it was quite quiet at the time - school kids could have been affected as well if it happened later."
Police are urging drivers to stay away from the area, with southbound traffic being diverted at Largs onto the A760 at Hayley Brae and northbound traffic being diverted at the Hunterston Roundabout.
The local community had been pressing for a widening of the main road to Hunterston power station and Clyde Port.
Steve Graham, chairman of Fairlie Community Council, said: "This was an accident waiting to happen.
"There have been a number of near misses, but nothing on this scale. It is a very narrow road with premises adjacent to the road.
"We in the community council have been complaining about the weight of traffic coming through the A78, which it's not built for. It would not meet current standards for a trunk road."
A Strathclyde Police spokesman added: "The ground floor of the building has been seriously damaged and has been deemed structurally unsound." | A 55-year-old woman has died after a couple became trapped under rubble when a coal lorry ploughed into a house in Fairlie, Ayrshire. | 21460337 | [

US media report that Tori Castillo, 39, is facing child abuse charges and the children are now with their father.
Onlookers in the car park instructed the five-year-old on how to open the boot from the inside, reports say.
Passersby had noticed the car shaking and noise coming from inside where it was parked outside a Walmart.
The incident happened on Thursday in Riverdale, Utah. It is not clear how long the children were in the boot.
Local police officer Casey Warren told KTVX: "It's never right to lock a child inside of a vehicle, let alone a trunk of a vehicle.
"Obviously there's a lot of things that could go wrong."
He praised the "good Samaritans" who helped the children get out.
Under Utah state law, leaving a child under the age of nine unattended in a vehicle is punishable by a fine or jail time. The law was enacted in 2011 after repeated cases of children dying unattended in hot cars. | A woman has been arrested in the US after allegedly locking her children, aged two and five, in the boot of her car while she went shopping. | 40077951 | [

The 50 year-old said she was "lucky to be here" after falling ill at home and looking up her symptoms online.
O'Donnell wrote on her blog that she searched "women's heart attack symptoms", which included sudden nausea and aches, before taking a few aspirin.
She visited a cardiologist the next day, who inserted a stent into an artery that was 99 per cent blocked.
O'Donnell said her chest began to ache last week and she became nauseous and feverish after helping a woman who was struggling to get out of her car in her Nyack village home, near New York.
In the blog entry on her website, a poem entitled "my heart attack", O'Donnell revealed the type of attack was known as the "widow maker".
The star, who has acted in several films and TV shows including Drop Dead Diva, Will and Grace and Nip/Tuck, also said she did not call the emergency services.
However, she issued a warning to her readers: "Know the symptoms ladies, listen to the voice inside, the one we all so easily ignore, call 911."

More than 1,400 works were found in his Munich apartment, including pieces by Picasso and Matisse.
Many were feared lost or destroyed before tax investigators uncovered his priceless collection in 2012.
Cornelius Gurlitt was the son of Adolf Hitler's art dealer.
Hildebrand Gurlitt was ordered to deal in works that had been seized from Jews, or which the Nazis considered "degenerate" and had removed from German museums.
Mr Gurlitt, whose death followed ill-health after heart surgery, told Der Spiegel magazine last November that he would never willingly give up the paintings.
"I haven't loved anything more than my pictures in my life," he said.
But he changed his position, agreeing to co-operate with the German authorities on establishing the paintings' provenance, and returning them if they were shown to be stolen.
German Culture Minister Monika Gruetters praised him for that, saying: "He will be rightly recognised and respected for taking this step."
Mr Gurlitt died "in his apartment in Schwabing, in the presence of a doctor," spokesman Stephan Holzinger said in a statement.
Mr Gurlitt did not live an extravagant life but would sell a painting only when he needed money.
By Stephen EvansBBC Berlin correspondent
The big question after the death of Cornelius Gurlitt is what becomes of the paintings he possessed in secret. Many of the works would be welcomed with open arms by the curators of any of the world's top galleries.
He, through his lawyers, had agreed that any works shown to have been looted by the Nazis would be returned to their rightful present-day owners, but this might well be only a small fraction of the total, perhaps 50 works altogether out of some 1,400.
The rest will now be the subject of a morass of litigation. Mr Gurlitt never married and he had no known family. One question may be if there are distant relatives, who would now stake a claim. Many people, particularly Jewish groups, may feel a just solution would be for the works to be displayed in a gallery. Lawyers might have something to say about that. What is just, and what is legally applicable, may be two different things.
His collection only came to light after a routine check found he was carrying wads of cash on a train from Switzerland, triggering a tax inquiry.
Investigators found more than 1,400 works in his flat in Munich in February 2012 - though they only revealed the discovery in late 2013 - and a further 60 in his house near Salzburg, Austria, earlier this year.
Among them were works by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Marc Chagall, Emil Nolde and Max Liebermann.
The collection is estimated to be worth up to a billion euros (£850m; $1.35bn).
Under German law, Cornelius Gurlitt was not compelled to return any paintings to their owners, as he was protected by a statute of limitations, which negates any claim for incidents that happened more than 30 years ago.
Even if it was proved the works were looted by the Nazis, Mr Gurlitt could have kept them, the BBC's arts editor Will Gompertz says.
But his death will certainly have ramifications for the case.
Mr Gurlitt's secretive nature means little is known of his private life or any possible heirs.
And the Bavarian authorities' slow, bureaucratic response to the discovery thus far would suggest that a rapid resolution of outstanding claims is unlikely, our editor adds. | German art hoarder Cornelius Gurlitt has died aged 81, with no definitive answer on what will happen to his secret collection, which included many Nazi-looted pieces. | 27298832 | [

He vowed to form a federal police unit to deal with violence against women.
The girl, 16, believes she was doped after going to her boyfriend's house last Saturday and says she woke up in a different house, surrounded by 30 men.
Hundreds of protesters on Friday demanded an end to sexual violence.
The video of the attack was put on social media, shocking Brazil.
Police are hunting more than 30 male suspects. Arrest warrants have been issued, including one for the boyfriend.
"I condemn most forcefully the rape of the teenager in Rio de Janeiro," Mr Temer said.
"It is absurd that in the 21st Century we should have to live with barbaric crimes such as this."
He said the authorities were working "to find those responsible" for the attack.
Rio police chief Fernando Veloso told a news conference that investigators will review forensic evidence.
"If these images hadn't been posted, maybe we wouldn't be here right now,'' he said, adding that many rapes go unreported.
The rape is said to have taken place in a poor community in western Rio over the weekend.
A 40-second-video was widely shared and followed by a wave of misogynistic comments, before the users' accounts were suspended.
In a message posted on Facebook, the victim said she was thankful for the support she had received and added: "I really thought I was going to be badly judged."
She later said: "All of us can go through this one day. It does not hurt the uterus but the soul because there are cruel people not being punished!! Thanks for the support."
The girl's grandmother told Brazilian media the family had watched the video and cried.
"I regretted watching it. When we heard the story we didn't believe what was happening. It's a great affliction. It's a depressing situation," she told Folha de S Paulo newspaper.
The assault has provoked an online campaign against what campaigners call a culture of rape in Brazil.
Experts say many cases of rape in Brazil go unreported as victims fear retaliation, shame, and blame for the violence they have suffered.
Hundreds of demonstrators gathered in Rio de Janeiro on Friday night, waving signs saying "Machismo Kills" and "No means no."
In Sao Paulo, protesters erected a mural with messages including "My body is not yours."
Dilma Rousseff, Brazil's first female president, who was impeached last month, expressed outrage over the Rio case by changing her profile picture on Facebook.
"Once more I reiterate my condemnation of violence against women," she wrote.
There has been an outpouring of anger on social media.
A collective of journalists has posted a satirical image of citizens donning devil's horns, condemning a rape victim for having provoked the attack.
The inscription reads "No to sexism", and the images, clockwise from top right: "But look at her clothes…"; "She deserved it!"; "16 years old and already has a son…"; "Apparently she was on drugs". | Brazil's interim President Michel Temer has called an emergency meeting of state security ministers after a gang rape of a teenage girl in Rio de Janeiro triggered wide condemnation. | 36404325 | [

Sir Anthony Hooper said this would have a major impact on people who needed lawyers with specialist expertise.
The Bar Council, which represents barristers, said the plans threatened a "world-renowned" justice system.
The government said the right to a fair trial would not be affected and lawyers would have to meet quality standards.
A number of groups, including charities and legal organisations, staged a protest against the plans outside the Ministry of Justice in central London on Tuesday.
Protesters waved placards reading "justice is not for sale" and "defend legal aid", chanting: "What do we want? Justice. When do we want it? Now."
Some law firms have estimated that the reforms will reduce the number of people who qualify for legal aid by 75%.
Ministers are planning to cut £220m from the annual criminal case legal aid budget in England and Wales.
Legal aid costs taxpayers about £2bn every year and criminal defence makes up more than half of the expenditure - amounting to what the government says is one of the most expensive legal aid systems in the world.
By Clive ColemanBBC News legal correspondent
The proposed £220m cuts to legal aid in criminal cases come hot on the heels of a £350m cut to legal aid in civil cases.
Lawyers and others fear the proposals will fundamentally change the criminal justice system. For the first time defendants will not be able to choose a legal aid lawyer, they will be assigned one.
So, the argument goes, the state will prosecute a person and then tell that person which law firm will defend them.
The advent of price competitive tendering for contracts to do legal aid work also strikes fear among lawyers that large corporate providers will enter the market for legal aid services, use their financial muscle to underbid in order to win contracts, and then staff their firms with low-level personnel in order to maximise profits.
Scaremongering by lawyers keen to protect their legal aid fees? Or, an unpicking of a system of justice whose fairness is the envy of the world?
The government is confident it has safeguards built in to protect fairness in the justice system. How effective they are will be seen in time. What is certain is that these proposed changes are hugely significant.
It wants to see fewer but bigger organisations providing legal aid.
The plans include:
Sir Anthony, who retired as a Court of Appeal judge last year, said the plans risked harming a system of fair justice that was the envy of the world.
He identified what he described as two fundamental defects resulting from PCT. One was the elimination of the long-held right of a defendant to choose a legal aid solicitor.
Under the new system a defendant will be "allocated a firm of solicitors, a lawyer or a corporate provider like Eddie Stobart, or whoever it may be", Sir Anthony told BBC Radio 4's Today programme.
He said people with a disability would not be able to choose a lawyer who understood their condition, and those involved in complex cases would not be able to seek out specialists.
Legal aid plans: Miscarriage of justice fears
"If I'm arrested in Norwich on a complex fraud case, for example, I would be able under the present system to find maybe a solicitors in London or Manchester, or wherever it may be, who specialise in difficult fraud cases," he said.
"Not now. Someone will turn up at the door and say 'I'm representing you. And by the way, I'm employed by the following company'."
He also warned that where solicitors' firms currently competed on the basis of excellence, new corporate providers would be under pressure to give advice that was in their financial interests.
The Bar Council's comments came in its 150-page response to a Ministry of Justice consultation on the issue, which ends later.
Maura McGowan QC, chairwoman of the Bar Council, said: "There is no avoiding the simple fact that these proposals would move us from having a justice system which is admired all over the world, to a system where price trumps all."
The Bar Standards Board, which is responsible for regulating barristers, said the plans to pay legal aid lawyers the same amount for a "guilty" or "not guilty" plea could lead to defendants being pressurised into pleading guilty.
It said cases where the defendant entered an initial guilty plea were typically shorter and so cheaper.
Chairwoman Baroness Ruth Deech said: "These reforms may endanger the ability of our legal system to guarantee everyone a fair trial. "
The Association of Prison Lawyers said the plans would effectively remove legal aid for all prison law issues other than parole hearings and disciplinary hearings dealt with by magistrates.
"The changes will mean that funding will no longer be available for such important matters as the separation of mothers and babies, prisoners being held in solitary confinement and access to rehabilitative programmes," it added.
The Children's Society says it is particularly concerned by the proposed introduction of a residency test to determine eligibility.
Chief executive Matthew Reed said: "These proposals will see the UK block access to legal aid for vulnerable children, undermining their rights and leaving some of the most marginalised young people without help."
Justice Secretary Chris Grayling said: "At a time of major financial challenges, the legal sector cannot be excluded from the government's commitment to getting better value for taxpayers' money.
"We believe costs paid to lawyers through legal aid should reflect this."
The Ministry of Justice added that a disposable income cap of £37,500 per household would mean only those on a six-figure salary or above would be prevented from having automatic access to legal aid.
Labour's shadow justice secretary Sadiq Khan said there was "considerable waste and bureaucracy" in the criminal justice system.
"But the government's proposals ignore these potential savings, and instead impose a model for legal aid which prioritises the cost of legal representation ahead of quality."
In April, the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act removed legal aid from many areas of civil law. | Plans to overhaul legal aid in England and Wales would remove the right of defendants to choose a solicitor, a retired senior judge has warned. | 22762984 | [

The 25-year-old was hit by the motorbike after several riders came down in a crash as the Gent-Wevelgem race passed through northern France.
Jose Been, spokeswoman for the Wanty-Gobert team, told BBC Sport it was "not a case of the motorcyclist going too fast and causing the crash".
Demoitie was taken to hospital in Lille but died some time later.
A French police inquiry is under way and the sport's governing body, the UCI, is co-operating with the investigation.
Demoitie was among several competitors involved in a fall in the one-day race, which was won by world champion Peter Sagan.
"The cyclists fell right in front of the motorcyclist who had no time to react and just hit them," Beem said.
"The motorcyclist is very experienced and has been in the races a long time. He is as grief-stricken as we are.
"It was a very unfortunate, horrible accident for both sides."
At a news conference on Monday, tearful team manager Jean-Francois Bourlart said Demoitie rode his first WorldTour race - the E3 Harelbeke in Belgium - last week.
"He was very proud of himself and we couldn't have been more proud of him," he said.
"On Sunday, the incredible happened, the inconceivable. We can't believe it. We are angry. We cry and we think of his wife Astrid and his family."
Earlier on Monday, Professional Cyclists' Association president Gianni Bugno, a former rider, said: "I do not want to accuse anyone, but make everyone reflect on the responsibility we have to ensure... a very high level of attention, awareness, and control over safety standards during each race."
Several high-profile professional cyclists have paid tribute to Demoitie, while others have questioned whether there needs to be rule changes around motorbikes, which are used mainly for security and media.
In a Facebook post, German sprinter Marcel Kittel said the sport had reached a "new and very sad low point in the history of cycling and safety". | A crash with a motorbike which killed Belgian cyclist Antoine Demoitie was an "unfortunate accident", says his team. | 35913908 | [

Mr Schmidt told the BBC that the company did what was "legally required" to pay the right amount of taxes.
Google paid £10m in UK corporate taxes between 2006 and 2011.
Mr Schmidt said it was up to the government to change its tax system if it wanted companies to pay more taxes.
Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Start the Week, he said: "What we are doing is legal. I'm rather perplexed by this debate, which has been going in the UK for some time, because I view taxes as not optional.
"I view that you should pay the taxes that are legally required. It's not a debate. You pay the taxes.
"If the British system changes the tax laws, then we will comply. If the taxes go up, we will pay more, if they go down, we will pay less. That is a political decision for the democracy that is the United Kingdom."
Meanwhile, the head of the Parliamentary Public Accounts Committee, Margaret Hodge, has suggested a new committee should be established to oversee the tax arrangements of major firms.
She told the Independent newspaper that such a committee could hear evidence from companies in secret, meaning that companies would not be able to hide their tax affairs behind confidentiality rules.
Google, most of whose UK sales are routed through Ireland, is one of the multinationals strongly criticised for organising their tax affairs in ways that minimise the amounts they pay in the UK.
Last week, European Union leaders agreed to tackle tax avoidance through an "automatic information exchange between tax authorities" to monitor the situation.
The Google chairman has previously argued that corporate taxes should be levied in the country where it conducts economic activity and takes risks, rather than where products are consumed.
He has also called for a debate on international tax reform.
"Politicians - not companies - [should] set the rules...When legislators are doing the lobbying and companies are articulating the law as it stands, it's a confusing spectacle for everyone," he recently wrote in the Observer.
"Our hope is to move the debate forward, with everyone engaged constructively in developing a clearer, simpler system - one in which companies that abide by the law know that the politicians who devised the rules are willing to defend and commend them." | Google's executive chairman Eric Schmidt has said he is "perplexed" by the ongoing debate over the company's tax contributions in the UK. | 22676080 | [

The government announced in 2014 that it wanted to build a tunnel alongside the World Heritage site.
But Highways England is also considering a route which would take the A303 south of the city.
A £2bn 1.8-mile (2.9km) tunnel is the government's preferred option at Stonehenge but some archaeologists argue it could damage the ancient site.
In an email, seen by the BBC, Highways England suggests a southern bypass route would be "considered" as part of the "design consultation" phase of the upgrade.
Last week, Atkins/Arup was awarded a £17.5m design contract for the scheme.
The group will be "developing options" to upgrade the road - including that of a tunnel - with the aim of construction work starting in 2020.
£1.4bn
Proposed cost of Stonehenge tunnel
1.8 miles is the length of the proposed tunnel (2.9km)
9.6 sq m around Stonehenge is a World Heritage site (25 sq km)
33% of the route is single carriageway
84 years since the A-road opened
There are growing concerns over congestion on the A303 which has been described as "highly detrimental" by English Heritage, which manages the monument.
However, a group of historians - called the Stonehenge Alliance - has called for "no further damage" to the world heritage site.
Historian Tom Holland, from the group, said the southern option was "better than ploughing through the richest archaeological site in Europe" and called for "lateral thinking" over A303 congestion.
And Icomos, which advises UN cultural body Unesco, said it was "concerned" any upgrade could have a "highly adverse impact" on the World Heritage landscape around the stones.
Both English Heritage and the National Trust have given their support to the option of "the longest tunnel possible".
In a statement, Highways England said: "As part of our public engagement we are committed to considering the alternative routes that are being suggested and will look at these as part of our engagement work.
"The improvements are currently at an early stage of development. As we develop our proposals in compliance with the statutory processes, we will consult a variety of stakeholders, including local residents, businesses, road users and interested parties.
"We are aiming to start a wider and public consultation in early 2017."
A similar tunnel scheme for the route, which links London and the South West, was dropped in 2007 because of the spiralling cost.
The government said the cost of a bored 1.3m (2.1km) tunnel could not be justified at £540m - double the initial estimate of £223m. | A southern bypass of Salisbury is being considered as an alternative to a Stonehenge tunnel, the BBC has learned. | 35322444 | [

Raban Alou, 18, is charged with aiding and abetting the killing of police accountant Curtis Cheng, 58, on 2 October.
Talal Alameddine, 22, is accused of supplying the weapon used by Mr Cheng's killer, 15-year-old Farhad Jabar.
Neither appeared in court and no applications for bail were made.
Mr Alou's lawyer, Moustafa Kheir, told reporters outside the court that his client would be fighting the charges.
He said his client had been held for more than 200 hours "for the purpose of interrogation" and that the charges against him relied on circumstantial evidence.
Police have alleged that Mr Alou handed the gun to Jabar. They also allege Mr Alameddine supplied the gun to Mr Alou hours before the murder.
The case has been adjourned until 10 December.
Mr Cheng was killed outside police headquarters in the Parramatta area of Sydney and Jabar was then shot dead by police. Officials described it as a terror attack.
More than 200 officers later raided properties in the area.
Jabar, an Australian born in Iran and of Iraqi-Kurdish heritage, is reported to have shouted religious slogans as he killed Mr Cheng.
In the wake of the killing, Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull called a meeting with security chiefs.
He warned that radicalisation was spreading among the young.
"We are dealing with an evolving threat," he said.
"The shocking murder of Curtis Cheng, the shocking act of terrorism perpetrated by a 15-year-old boy reminds us yet again that radicalisation, extremism can be seen in the very young."
Australia's police chief had earlier warned that the terror threat facing the country was getting worse. | Two men charged in connection with the terrorism-linked shooting of an Australian police worker have been remanded in custody by a Sydney court. | 34546364 | [

His first spell at the club saw him win the Premier League twice, the FA Cup, the League Cup twice and the Community Shield.
He was one of the most colourful characters in the British game and has since enjoyed success at Inter Milan and Real Madrid before returning to London.
BBC Sport looks at some of Mourinho's best quotes and controversies.
On becoming Chelsea manager for the first time: "I have top players and I'm sorry, we have a top manager. Please do not call me arrogant because what I say is true. I'm European champion, I'm not one out of the bottle, I think I'm a special one."
On bird flu: "I'm feeling a lot of pressure with the swan in Scotland. It's not far and I'm more scared of the swan than of football. What's football compared to life? A swan with bird flu, for me that's a drama."
On drinking wine with then-Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson: "After the game, after the press conference, we were together in my office. The wine we were drinking was very bad and he was complaining. When we go to Old Trafford it's my birthday and I will go with a beautiful bottle of Portuguese wine."

On eggs: "Omelettes, eggs. No eggs, no omelettes. And it depends on the quality of the eggs in the supermarket. They are class one, two or three and some are more expensive than others and some give you better omelettes. When the class one eggs are not available you have a problem."
On being sacked: "If the club decide to sack me because of bad results that's part of the game. If it happens I will be a millionaire and get another club a couple of months later."
On Chelsea's pitch: "Sometimes you see beautiful people with no brains. Sometimes you have ugly people who are intelligent, like scientists. Our pitch is a bit like that. From the top it's a disgrace but the ball rolls at normal speed."
On playing Chelsea, while manager of Real Madrid: "If I play them in the Champions League, I want to go there and kill them - that's my message,"
Then-Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez: "If Chelsea are naive and pure then I'm Little Red Riding Hood."
Then-Sheffield United manager Neil Warnock: "My wife will be glad about Mourinho coming to Bramall Lane because he's a good looking swine, isn't he?"
Career record up to 1 June 2013
Former Chelsea striker Eidur Gudjohnsen: "When Mourinho says training will last one-and-a-half hours it will never last a second longer."
Then-Chelsea striker Didier Drogba's reaction to Mourinho leaving the London club: "I find Jose's 'eviction' hard to take. I could not see the blow coming so brutally.
"It changes an awful lot of things. I am in the sort of nervous state I've never dreamed about before. Many of us used to play first and foremost for the manager. Now we need to forget those feelings and find another source of motivation."
Ian Holloway on Mourinho's sacking by Chelsea: "Football has gone mad. He is one of the best managers in the world. I'm devastated. I was learning from him from afar. He makes you feel 25-foot tall and I'm going to sorely miss him."
Barcelona vice-president Carles Vilarrubi on Mourinho's return to Chelsea: "It is not good for English football. If Mourinho behaves like he did in Spain it will only be an unhappy relationship. In his three years in Spain he only created disagreements and arguments. I am happy he is leaving and so is everyone in Spanish football."
February 2005: After Chelsea's 2-1 defeat against Barcelona in the first leg of their last-16 clash, Mourinho wrongly accused Barcelona coach Frank Rijkaard of visiting referee Anders Frisk at half-time. Mourinho is fined £8,900, given a two-match touchline ban and called an "enemy of football" by the head of Uefa's referees committee Volker Roth.
March 2005: Mourinho is fined £5,000 after he alleged Manchester United players were guilty of "fault and fault and cheat and cheat" during a Carling Cup semi-final clash.
June 2005: Mourinho is fined £200,000, which is reduced to £75,000 on appeal, for meeting then-Arsenal player Ashley Cole, without his club's consent.
January to March 2010: While manager of Inter Milan, Mourinho is fined three times in as many months by the Italian Football Federation.
December 2010: Mourinho is banned for one Champions League match after being found guilty of improper conduct. It follows the dismissal of Real Madrid players Xabi Alonso and Sergio Ramos during a Champions League game against Ajax.
August 2011: Mourinho, now in charge of Real Madrid, pokes Barcelona's then-assistant manager Tito Vilanova in the eye during touchline exchanges after a stormy Spanish Super Cup tie.
January 2013: After dropping club captain Iker Casillas before the mid-winter break, reports emerge in the Spanish press of disagreements between Mourinho and some of his senior players. Stories continue to appear throughout the rest of the season about disharmony in the squad, with centre-back Pepe the latest to fall foul of Mourinho last month.
May 2013: In a bad-tempered Copa del Rey final defeat by neighbours Atletico Madrid, Mourinho is sent from the bench for furiously protesting a decision from the referee. He was jeered by sections of the Real support during his final game in charge against Osasuna. | Jose Mourinho is back as manager of Chelsea after leaving Stamford Bridge in September 2007. | 22706988 | [

Ms Maréchal-Le Pen, 27, who is an MP for the National Front (FN), had been seen by some as a future leader of the party.
She is the granddaughter of FN founder Jean-Marie Le Pen.
She is one of the best known figures in the party and one of only two FN lawmakers in the outgoing parliament.
Analysts say she takes more of a hardline position than her aunt.
According to Le Figaro, Ms Maréchal-Le Pen will announce on Wednesday her intention not to stand for a new term in parliamentary elections in June. She will also quit her position as president of the FN in the south-eastern region of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur.
It is understood she wishes to spend more time with her young daughter, the newspaper adds.
The party would not confirm the report but senior FN official Bruno Gollnisch told reporters it would not be totally unexpected.
"I think it's in the works, but I will let her announce it if she wants to," he said. | Marion Maréchal-Le Pen, the niece of defeated far-right French presidential candidate Marine Le Pen, is to quit politics, French media report. | 39864948 | [

Mohammed Sufiyan Choudry and Zaiur Rahman, both members of the Luton chapter of the banned group Al-Muhajiroun, were caught in an undercover police operation in 2015.
Choudry, 23, from Maidenhead, and Rahman, 39, of Luton, were found guilty at the Old Bailey after a retrial.
They will be sentenced at a later date.
The pair were among a group of five covertly recorded when an undercover officer infiltrated their Luton-based group over a 20-month period before police arrested them.
More news from Bedfordshire
Bedfordshire Police said the five men attended meetings at a church in Luton and a marquee in Rahman's back garden, during which members praised IS and urged others to support the terror group and travel to Syria to fight.
The meetings were attended by up to 80 people including young children.
The Old Bailey heard that, during a July 2015 gathering, Choudry spoke of "40 trucks driving down Oxford Street full of explosives".
He also said: "A wave is coming. Either be a part of it or you drown.".
The five men were arrested by officers from Bedfordshire Police and the Metropolitan Police Counter Terrorism Command in December 2015.
Three were convicted by a jury in August.
Mohammed Istiak Alamgir, 37, Yousaf Bashir, 36 and Rajib Khan, 37, all from Luton, were convicted for their roles in spreading IS ideology.
Choudry and Rahman faced a retrial after the jury was unable to reach a verdict.
Choudry was found guilty of one count of encouraging support for a proscribed organisation while Rahman was convicted of three counts of arranging/assisting in, arranging/managing a meeting to support a proscribed organisation.
All five are expected to be sentenced together at a later date. | Two men have been convicted of organising terrorist speeches and encouraging support for so-called Islamic State (IS). | 38612219 | [

But his killing in an air strike is a grievous strategic error - militarily insignificant but diplomatically disastrous.
Towards the end of April, Nato states made a number of operational innovations. Three member states - Britain, France, and Italy - injected military advisers into rebel-held eastern Libya. Another, the US, began continuous patrols of armed drones.
Third, and most important, air strikes began to target command, control, communications and intelligence networks (known, in military parlance, as C3I). The Bab al-Aziziya compound includes all three such networks, and it was presumed that their disruption would disorient regime soldiers on the front line, cut off field commanders from Tripoli, and sow confusion in the ranks.
But was the strike also an assassination attempt?
Assassination of a head of state is illegal under international law, and forbidden by various US presidential orders. On the other hand, the targeted killing of those woven into the enemy chain of command is shrouded in legal ambiguity.
Given the personalistic nature of the regime, and the "all means necessary" clause in UN Resolution 1973, it might be argued that killing Col Muammar Gaddafi and certain members of his family - such as his son Khamis, commander of an elite military brigade - would be permissible, even if it posed a risk to those non-combatants around the regime.
Legality, though, indicates neither legitimacy nor prudence. This strike, and the death of Saif al-Arab, have produced little military result at the greatest diplomatic and symbolic cost to Nato.
Saif al-Arab was, unlike his brothers, not a senior military commander or propagandist. His death is redolent of the 1986 US strike on the same compound.
That raid killed a girl who Col Gaddafi later claimed was his adopted daughter and, in the scarred buildings and craters, furnished him with a long-lasting symbol of defiance.
The propaganda value of such unintended deaths is potentially severe.
In the 1991 Gulf War, a US stealth bomber directed two bombs at what was claimed to be a command-and-control bunker, but was in fact an Iraqi civilian shelter.
The result was 315 deaths, including 130 children. Col Gaddafi, like Saddam Hussein before him, will take every opportunity to exploit such errors to paint Western powers as indiscriminate aggressors.
Moreover, this is no longer a conventional war in which top-down direction is crucial. Pro-Gaddafi forces in both the besieged western city of Misrata and in the east have adapted to Nato's air power and are using increasingly unorthodox tactics.
They need not rely on a stream of detailed orders from Tripoli, and can cause considerable harm to civilians without this guidance.
Nato is understandably frustrated at the diminishing returns of air strikes, since it has destroyed most accessible targets. But killing commanders and disrupting communications is far less important than the key task of degrading heavy military equipment, such as tanks and artillery.
If the strike had killed Col Gaddafi himself, would it then have been at least a military success?
One of the greatest mistakes of the Iraq war was assuming that, with the departure of Saddam Hussein, the state apparatus could simply be transferred to new ownership.
Col Gaddafi's death could see Saif al-Islam Gaddafi take the reins, galvanise supporters, and continue the war with equal intensity. It would be dangerous and short-sighted to portray even effective assassination as a silver bullet.
Perhaps, though, the demonstration to the regime that no safe haven exists, and that only capitulation would bring security, justified these risks?
There is no doubt that, along with the military aim of disrupting command-and-control hubs, Nato sought a psychological effect, conscious of the possibility of "accidental assassination".
The problem is that the direction of this effect is unclear. The dramatic visual impact of this air strike, and the death of those disconnected from political and military leadership, will harden the diplomatic opposition to the war, from Russia and China amongst others.
More consequentially, it will anger the alliance's warier members, like Germany and Turkey, and inflame parts of Arab and African public opinion.
It may eventually leave Britain and France bearing the military burden alone, with modest but limited assistance from a cagey US administration eager to keep at arm's length from this European war.
Col Gaddafi's overarching strategy has never been to win a conventional war, but to induce symbolically prominent casualties, drive a wedge between more committed and more ambivalent members of the coalition, and knock away the pillars of political support on which this intervention was built.
Thus far, the coalition had sought, rightly, to purchase coalition longevity at the price of campaign intensity. If that balance continues to shift towards the latter, Nato runs the risk of playing into the regime's hands.

The film, The Danish Girl, is based on the life of Elbe - a transgender woman who was born in the 1880s in Denmark.
He's been working with Alexandra Reynolds, a movement coach who also helped him with his portrayal of Stephen Hawking in The Theory of Everything.
It's to make sure he perfects the "feminine physicality".
"We're looking at everything from a feminine perspective," he told the Daily Mail. "I think it's the most sensitive role I have played."
He has also spoken with people from the trans community to research the role.
"The danger of surgery was so extreme then [in the 1920s]," Eddie said. "It's such a brave thing that Einar did."
Ex Machina star Alicia Vikander will play Gerda Wegener, Elbe's wife.
Due out in 2016, it will be directed by Tom Hooper, who also made The King's Speech and Les Miserables.
