The system is being based on the way people fill up their car with petrol or buy data bundles with a mobile phone.
The company says it is an attempt to simplify energy bills.
ScottishPower chief executive Keith Anderson said: "We're saying to people buy it by the day, not by kilowatts or a fancy tariff you don't understand."
Customers will use an app that has a gauge measuring consumption.
The company will tailor each customer's "day" based on a personalised forecast of how much energy they typically use.
This will also vary according to the time of year.
Customers will be able to buy packages of gas and electricity in quantities from one day to a month, and up to 180 days ahead.
The firm has been piloting the scheme and it says it could transform the way consumers buy energy.
Mr Anderson said they went back to scratch and looked at how people bought petrol for their car.
"You go to the garage and put £50 in your car. Inherently you know that will last you two to three weeks.
"We thought why don't we do the same thing with energy."
A fuel gauge supplied within the app will then tell customers how much energy they are using and how much they have left.
Under the scheme, called "PowerUp", customers will not have to pay a standing charge.
Scottish Power said its tariffs for the scheme would include some of the firm's most competitive prices.
It will be launched to existing customers initially, and the company firm will then consider whether to open it up to the wider market.
A two-year investigation into the energy industry by the competition authorities found that many consumers were not engaged in the energy market and failed to switch to the cheapest deals.
The new approach to buying energy has been welcomed by the industry regulator.
In a statement, Ofgem said: "We want more competition to increase choice and drive down prices for consumers.
"We encourage suppliers to offer new innovative tariffs to help people engage in the market and find the best deal which suits them.
"Innovative tariffs can be tailored to an individual consumer's needs and give people more control over their energy bill and how they pay for it."
Claire Osborne, energy expert for Uswitch.com said: "Energy bills are notoriously difficult to understand and so this approach, similar to how we buy petrol, should help consumers use less, waste less and pay less for their gas and electricity.
"The fact that the deal has no standing charge will be attractive to many customers - particularly those with second homes which are unoccupied for part of the year - as there's nothing to pay on days when no energy is used." | ScottishPower customers will soon be able to buy gas and electricity in bundles of days rather than signing up to standard or fixed-price deals. | 37382503 | [

The IFG says legislation will be needed to establish new policies on areas such as customs and immigration.
The extra measures will place "a huge burden" on Parliament and government departments, the think tank says.
The attitude of the SNP may also affect the passage of Brexit laws, it adds.
In its report, Legislating Brexit, the IFG says that with the average Queen's Speech announcing only 20 new bills, the introduction of 15 Brexit bills before the UK even exits the EU "will leave very little space for non-Brexit related legislation".
The report comes as Theresa May travels to Swansea with Brexit Secretary David Davis, where she will talk about the "precious union" of the UK.
The prime minister will meet First Minister of Wales Carwyn Jones, as well as local businesses, as she tries to show she is including all areas of Britain in negotiations with the EU.
Mrs May will say: "I want every part of the United Kingdom to be able to make the most of the opportunities ahead."
The IFG report anticipates the new bills will be in addition to the Great Repeal Bill, which will scrap the 1972 European Communities Act that paved the way for the UK to enter the then-EEC, ending the legal authority of EU law.
The IFG - an independent charity that aims to increase government effectiveness - says departments will need "ruthlessly to prioritise" other legislation and find non-legislative routes to get the laws through, particularly given the government's narrow Commons majority.
It warns that this will mean ministers having to achieve a fine balance between giving too little parliamentary scrutiny and too prolonged, in-depth examination of Brexit-related legislation.
The IFG also argued that "a lack of clarity" about the role the devolved legislatures will play in legislating for Brexit could pose a problem.
"The attitude that the Scottish National Party (SNP) takes to the passage of Brexit-related legislation in Westminster could affect the smoothness with which that legislation passes through Parliament if they join forces with the Labour Party and Conservative rebels," the report says.
Dr Hannah White, IFG's director of research, said the government had finite resources to draft new legislation and Brexit bills would take a "big chunk" out of its capacity to legislate in other areas.
"In the first session after the 2015 election the government passed 23 bills," she told BBC Radio 4's Today. "So that's roughly the capacity that there is in government to draft these bills and in Parliament, in terms of parliamentary time, to pass them."
The reality, she suggested, was that the government's domestic priorities would "take a hit in the next couple of sessions".
"There'll have to be some really tight prioritisation in government to work out what else is going to be done aside from the Brexit legislation.
"The legislation required for Brexit will leave little parliamentary time for anything else - and making a success of it will require a large volume of bills and secondary legislation to be passed by Parliament against a hard deadline."
The Queen gave Royal Assent to the European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Bill last week, clearing the way for Theresa May to start talks to leave the European Union.
The Bill allows the prime minister to notify Brussels that the UK is leaving the EU, with a two-year process of exit negotiations to follow.
Mrs May says she will trigger the process by the end of the month. | Parliament might have to scrutinise up to 15 new bills to deliver Brexit, leaving little time for other legislation, the Institute for Government has warned. | 39322297 | [

Over the past five years, an estimated 70,000 people have left their homes and moved to the gold fields, seeking - if not their fortunes - a way of feeding their families.
When I visited Mubende a few weeks ago the dusty hillside was crawling with activity, as if an imaginary film director had shouted "action" on the set of an old Western movie.
Everywhere you looked, people were busy.
Young men with muddy faces climbed out of pits 150 metres deep, hauling huge sacks of rubble; others were busy breaking down clumps of rock, loading up trucks or panning for gold.
Women stood in dark puddles, swishing water around plastic tubs, closely watching for a flash of yellow.
"In our culture it's taboo for women to go down the pit," the mine chairman told me. "They believe when they go down there, the gold disappears."
Instead, several women were working in the many restaurants and shops that had sprung up in the nearby camp. They were stalls selling bananas, chicken and yoghurt.
There was also a medical clinic, some churches and a mosque on site.
The houses were made of blue plastic sheeting, wood and corrugated iron - the typical shanty houses that I've seen elsewhere in Africa. I visit the local bar, where music is playing - until the power goes off.
Men worked in the mines 24 hours a day, but it was clear the operation was completely unregulated. There wasn't a helmet to be seen, and some of the workers weren't wearing any shoes. But no one I met seemed worried by the long hours or poor conditions.
Florence Nampijja, who used to sell second-hand clothes, said her life had changed considerably since she joined the gold rush.
"With good panning, I'm able to look after my four children and my extended family," she said. "I hope to buy land and put up a good house for my children, feed them well, and send them to better schools."
Pit owner Ivan Kauma Male enthusiastically showed me around the site. He had bigger dreams.
"When I find gold most of my wishes will be completed," he told me. "Like driving a Porsche car, putting up good houses, and sending my children to good schools."
"This is something I've invested in for two and a half years. So I want to get my money out of it."
But those dreams have been put on hold.
A few days ago Ugandan soldiers armed with tear gas shut down the Mubende mines. They were acting on the instructions of the country's government. The miners and their families were told they had just hours to evacuate the area.
Many are still looking for a way to get home. The mines are a four-hour drive from the capital Kampala, and the only road in is a bumpy dirt track.
"People are stranded on the road with mattresses, jerry cans, saucepans and children," Ivan told me, speaking on the phone from a nearby village.
The Ugandan government issued a statement blaming the shutdown on unsafe mining practices, and the presence of foreigners in the camps. The miners say the vast majority of people living in the camps are Ugandan. But they acknowledge the mining was illegal. No one had a license.
Mark Asaph Jjombwe heads up the Artisinal and Small Scale Miners Association.
"The association tried to get a license, although they've not yet replied to us," he says.
The miners say Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni knew about the illegal mining, but chose to ignore it.
Mark explains: "He knows we cannot dig the big gold. So he says, 'You can have those petty, petty ones. My people, you go and try your luck'."
But that appears to be over for now at least.
A statement from Uganda's Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development said the miners will be registered over the next three months, and the industry will be regulated.
But the miners are sceptical.
"The government believes the investors are going to bring a pack of money, more than the artisans who can actually generate some income for their children," says Ivan.
"In Uganda we are jobless. I hold a degree in electrical engineering. It's not because I don't want to do my work, but they cannot pay me."
The watchdog Global Witness recently criticised the Ugandan mining industry, describing it as "infested with corruption from bottom to top".
The group accused a former government minister of processing and exporting hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of gold.
The mines in Mubende District had meant the country's riches weren't just in the hands of the elite.
Now, thousands of Ugandans are jobless again. | For many Ugandans, the gold found deep underground in the hills of Mubende District was a lifeline. | 40863148 | [

Judge Thokozile Masipa ruled in December that prosecutors could appeal against the acquittal.
She had sentenced Pistorius to five years in prison for the lesser charge of culpable homicide, or manslaughter.
Pistorius shot dead his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in February 2013.
He said he mistook her for a burglar, while prosecutors argued that he shot her after a row at his upmarket home in the capital, Pretoria.
The double amputee athlete was acquitted by Judge Masipa of both premeditated murder and the lesser murder charge of dolus eventualis, also known as common-law murder.
In South African law, this charge applies if the accused knew they might kill someone but still went ahead with their course of action.
Prosecutors argued that Judge Masipa misinterpreted the law when she cleared Pistorius of murder on the basis that he did not intentionally shoot Ms Steenkamp.
Giving them permission to appeal in December, she said: "I cannot say... that the prospect of success at the Supreme Court of Appeal is remote."
The BBC's Milton Nkosi in Johannesburg says that defence lawyers are now challenging the judge's decision, and do not want the culpable homicide verdict to be overturned.
On 13 March they will appear before Judge Masipa and intend to cite previous cases to back their argument that the appeal should not be allowed.
Pistorius was one of South Africa's most celebrated sportsmen until his arrest.

British Transport Police said the man, 22, from Birmingham, was arrested on Wednesday and had now been bailed after being questioned by detectives.
The latest arrest is in connection with the rape of the teenager in a vehicle in the Witton area at around 02:00 BST on 26 July, police said.
The girl had previously been raped at the railway station hours earlier.

A man has been charged and another man arrested in connection with the first attack, which is being treated as a separate incident, the force said.
Meanwhile, detectives continue to appeal for a Good Samaritan who picked up the victim after she was raped for the second time.
Police said the driver of the second vehicle, described as a people carrier-type car, is believed to have given the victim a lift home after she was raped a second time. | A man has been arrested on suspicion of rape in connection with an attack on a 14-year-old girl in Birmingham. | 40873665 | [

The UK will maintain an EU deal, which provides 48 countries with duty-free access to Britain for imports.
It means British firms do not pay import tariffs on goods bought from countries such as Bangladesh and Haiti.
International Trade Secretary Liam Fox said Brexit gave the country an opportunity "to step up our commitments to the rest of the world".
He added: "Free and fair trade has been the greatest liberator of the world's poor, and today's announcement shows our commitment to helping developing countries grow their economies and reduce poverty through trade."
The deal excludes arms and ammunitions.
The list of countries - which also includes Ethiopia, Sierra Leone, and Uganda - is based on the UN's Least Developed Countries index.
Currently £19.2bn of goods are imported from the 48 countries, including 79% of the tea consumed in Britain.
Some 45% of the UK's textile and clothing imports, and 22% of its coffee, also come from the developing nations.
International Development Secretary Priti Patel said the renewed commitment would "help the world's poorest people stand on their own two feet".
She added: "Building a more prosperous world and supporting our own long-term economic security is firmly in all our interests‎."
The government also intends to explore options to expand relationships with richer countries like Jamaica, Pakistan and Ghana, which currently enjoy a mixture of reduced tariffs or zero tariffs.
Dr Fox added it would result "in lower prices and greater choice for consumers". | Free trade deals with developing countries will continue post-Brexit, the government has said. | 40395742 | [

Poysden and Mellor, both 25, have committed to the Bears until at least the end of the 2018 season after five Championship games each this summer.
Warwickshire chief executive Neil Snowball said: "Josh and Alex have big futures here at Edgbaston.
"They played important roles in 2016 and proved that they can compete at the highest level of the domestic game."
Poysden, who was already tied to Edgbaston to the end of 2017, has worked with the England Lions at the National Cricket Centre in Loughborough this autumn and is currently with the Lions squad at their training camp in Dubai.
He has made 16 one-day and 19 T20 appearances for the Bears since initially joining on trial after leaving Cambridge University ahead of the 2014 season.
He also made a late-season breakthrough in the County Championship this summer, taking 15 wickets in his five appearances, including a career-best 5-53 against champions Middlesex at Edgbaston.
Former Staffordshire player Mellor, who first joined the Bears at the end of the 2015 season on a one-year deal, has now signed a new two-year contract.
Mellor, whose late-season Championship appearances came as cover for the injured Tim Ambrose, has also played three limited-overs games.
Warwickshire are still without a director of cricket following the departure of Dougie Brown in October.
They have been strongly linked with a return to Edgbaston for former Bears boss Ashley Giles, who is still contracted to his current county Lancashire for another year.
BBC Sport understands that negotiations remain ongoing with Lancashire over Giles, who still lives in the Midlands.
Chief executive Neil Snowball reiterated last week that they would like to make an appointment before Christmas. | Warwickshire leg-spinner Josh Poysden and wicketkeeper Alex Mellor have signed contract extensions. | 38093075 | [

Tiote, 30, died after collapsing during training for Chinese second-tier side Beijing Enterprises on 5 June.
Friends, family and former team-mates attended the memorial and his coffin was draped with an Ivory Coast flag.
"I lived some extraordinary moments with this man and today he is gone," said Senegal striker Cisse, who spent four years at Newcastle.
"He was like a brother. We shared a lot in life. His family was my family," added the Shandong Lueng player, who was in tears at the service.
In his seven years at Newcastle, Ivory Coast international Tiote made over 150 appearances, including three last season.
He joined Beijing Enterprises in February.

The Uzbek government announced his death on Friday after a period of rumours about his ill health.
As is often the case with strongman regimes, no tried and tested succession mechanism is in place in Uzbekistan, and the transition of power may well be a complicated process.
Uzbekistan is the most populous Central Asian country and has the largest army.
Mr Karimov, who came to power during the Soviet era, has led the country since independence in 1991.
During his long rule, President Karimov has built a relatively stable secular regime in a region threatened by Islamist radicalism.
But many believe this has been done at the expense of human rights, and has often been an excuse to hound legitimate opposition.
It also has not completely eradicated the long-term risk posed by Islamist militancy.
Many Uzbek Islamists have simply dodged the tight security at home by fighting for the Islamic State group abroad, but should the secular government weaken, they might be tempted to come back.
Some also say that Uzbekistan's fractured and exiled opposition may turn to Islamism to boost its appeal in the majority Muslim country.
Positioned on the ancient Great Silk Road between Europe and Asia, Uzbekistan enjoys a strategic location that has attracted the interest of many foreign states throughout its long history.
Most recently, it has been one reason why Russia and Western powers have been vying for a foothold.
In 2001, Uzbekistan allowed the US to use its air bases in support of military action in Afghanistan, but four years later all foreign troops were evicted following Washington's criticism of the Uzbek government's human rights record.
Moscow will be keen to ensure that Mr Karimov's successor leans towards Russia rather than the West.
So far, unlike most Central Asian countries, Uzbekistan has been wary of Russian influence. In 2012, it withdrew from the main Russia-led regional military bloc, the Collective Security Treaty Organisation.
Political instability caused by Mr Karimov's demise could be felt far beyond Uzbekistan's borders.
The country is rich in natural resources, including oil, gas and gold, and any turbulence may push up the price of these commodities on world markets.
Tension could could also spill over into Uzbekistan's energy-rich neighbours, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan.
Regional transport corridors may be disrupted, including gas and oil pipelines running to Russia and China.
Uzbekistan also supplies electricity to Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Afghanistan and southern Kazakhstan.
Uzbekistan lies on key opium routes from Afghanistan to Russia and on to Europe, and drug smugglers could take advantage of instability to distract or disrupt law-enforcement efforts.
President Karimov has never been shy of deploying his powerful security apparatus to exercise a firm grip on power.
This, among other things, has enabled him to maintain a delicate balance between the various ethnic groups inside the country.
Should it be upset, the ripple effect may be felt as far away as in China. Uzbekistan hosts a sizeable Uighur community, and the predominantly Muslim Uighur minority in China has long been seen as a source of concern by Beijing.
President Karimov's successor will also inherit unresolved border differences with Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan.

Reserve Bank of India governor Raghuram Rajan hinted that using cheap money to tackle economic problems - rather than painful reform - had to stop.
And he warned said that more intervention by central banks now risked doing "more harm than good".
Mr Rajan accurately predicted the global financial crisis in 2008.
In an exclusive BBC interview in Mumbai he said: "I have been a little concerned about the immense burden for action that is falling on central banks and I think it is quite legitimate for central banks to say at some point we can't carry the burden ourselves in fact we may not have the tools to do everything that is asked of us."
"Don't keep asking us to do more because at some point we get into territory where the consequences may be more bad than good if we actually act."
Mr Rajan acknowledged that his situation was not typical in the current climate, because unlike most global economies, India still has high inflation - running at close to 6%. Interest rates are also high - at 7.25% despite having been cut three times this year to try and stimulate growth.
"In my country I'm faced with traditional central bank problems like inflation so we still have a handle to work with those," Mr Rajan said.
He added: "But in some other countries you are faced with problems which are maybe way beyond what the central bank is capable of addressing such as demographic change, deep changes in productivity - and those are probably best dealt with other tools.
"But if the other tools aren't being used or there's a sense they'll take too long to work and you're working with the central bank only as the primary engine you may end up in situations that actually create more harm than good.
"Once interest rates are at zero it's hard to crank up new tools. Central banks have tried, they've tried very hard - negative interest rates, low for long, quantitative easing, we've done a whole bunch of things like that. The question is - at what point do you, through additional measures, do more harm than good?" | Central banks are under too much pressure to fix struggling economies, according to the man in charge of India's monetary policy. | 34056740 | [

He said pro-devolutionists should be working together to ensure Wales does not lose powers.
The former party leader dramatically announced his exit on Friday, prompting anger from some of his colleagues.
He has rejected demands for him to stand down and trigger a by-election.
Labour has a minority of AMs in the assembly and needs other parties to help govern.
Plaid Cymru has not agreed to a formal coalition deal with Labour, but did allow Carwyn Jones to return as first minister following an earlier deadlocked vote over whether Mr Jones or Plaid leader Leanne Wood would take the top job.
Lord Elis-Thomas, who represents Dwyfor Meirionnydd, said: "It was clear to me that the Plaid group in the National Assembly was not willing to seriously participate in government and to give Wales a stable government, particularly after the decisions taken in Wales and elsewhere about our future relationship with the European Union".
"There is a serious constitutional challenge now and we might well lose powers from Wales," he said.
"I think all pro-devolutionists should be working together to ensure that doesn't happen."
Lord Elis-Thomas was critical of the deadlocked first minister vote, caused when the Tories and UKIP backed Ms Wood for the top job.
He said it was done without his knowledge and was "totally inappropriate".
Asked if he would support the next Welsh Government budget, which is due to be tabled on Tuesday, he said: "It depends on what's in it."
"I have to be satisfied that that budget contains funding for the work I'm doing for them now", he said, pointing to his work on the future of designated natural landscape areas in Wales.
Last year Lord Elis-Thomas clashed with his party over remarks he made about its general election campaign.
He suggested efforts in the wake of the row to make him refrain from public statements about controversial issues breached his human rights.
On Saturday the peer alleged that he had been "forced to attend an unconstitutional party meeting" by the national executive committee "in which they sought to deselect me as a candidate in Dwyfor Meirionnydd after I had been selected properly by the constituency party".
"The whole episode was totally disorderly. I said so at the time, they wouldn't listen to me," he said.
Lord Elis-Thomas said he had been "forced to agree to not speaking publicly about any matters they regarded as controversial without specific permission of the party chair".
"I stuck with that until the last election," he added.
"I certainly don't think I had any further obligation to anyone within the party and that I should be able to speak my mind as an assembly member.
"It's contrary to democratic principles as well as my human rights to try to stop an AM from speaking out in support of his constituents and in support of his own principles."
Former Plaid Cymru president Dafydd Iwan was among party figures who criticised the former presiding officer at the weekend.
He said: "I'm saddened by his decision.
"But I think Dafydd has never been a good team player and and he's failed to put the cause and his party before his own self-preservation.
"I think this is a step too far," he said, adding that there should be a by-election.
Plaid AM Bethan Jenkins said: "I am sad and angry at the decision made by Dafydd."
The South Wales West AM said: "Does Dafydd want his legacy to be that of letting Plaid voters and our nation down in such a way, after achieving so much as a Plaid MP, presiding officer, and former leader of the party?
"This action... has shown that he has let his constituents, the nation, and the party down."
Rhun ap Iorwerth, Plaid AM for Anglesey, told BBC Radio Wales: "If this was happening towards the end of a parliamentary term, it might be different.
"But this is within five months of the election in the context where Dafydd Elis-Thomas, a major contributor to Welsh political life over the years, had an opportunity to stand as an independent, which he had every right to do."
"And he said, no, I'm loyal to Plaid Cymru, trust me on this one," said Mr ap Iorwerth.
"And there's an element of breaking that trust."
At least one Plaid Cymru party member, who did not want to be identified, had sympathy with Lord Elis-Thomas.
The source said: "I'm not surprised. The group is not run in an inclusive way."
The Plaid member added that Lord Elis-Thomas "should have been shown more respect".
A Welsh Tory source on Saturday suggested that Plaid Cymru should give up the title of the official opposition now that it has the same number of AMs as the Conservatives in the assembly.
The source said: "Its like bald men fighting over a comb. We're not going to fight over the designation - but either the title of official opposition is shared by Plaid or it is dropped."
A spokesman for the party added: "The Welsh Conservatives will continue to be the real opposition".
As we have seen with Nathan Gill's departure from the UKIP group at the Senedd, it does not take long for internal splits to develop in this assembly term.
There are potentially big implications for the assembly.
Labour narrowly missed out on an overall majority, and with two floating votes up for grabs in the form of Lord Elis-Thomas and Nathan Gill, Plaid and the Tories may find it more difficult to put the squeeze on Labour.
Having said that, Labour has formal mechanisms in place with Plaid to discuss the budget, Brexit, legislation and the constitution, so there's likely to be a willingness to make that work.

Carmarthen-born Lord Elis-Thomas began his political career in Westminster, serving as a member of parliament for Meirionydd between 1974 and 1983 and for Meirionydd Nant Conwy between 1983 and 1992.
In 1992, he was made a life peer.
Lord Elis-Thomas was elected to the newly established National Assembly for Wales in 1999, representing the Meirionnydd Nant Conwy constituency until it was abolished in 2007.
He has served as the AM for the constituency of Dwyfor Meirionnydd since that year's election.
The peer served as presiding officer from the start of the institution until 2011.
As the assembly's figurehead he clashed with Leanne Wood, who is now party leader, in 2004.
Lord Elis-Thomas ordered her to leave the Senedd chamber on the grounds of 'discourtesy' when she refused to withdraw her reference to the Queen as 'Mrs Windsor'.
He had made a bid to become party leader in 2012 but lost to Ms Wood, and since then Lord Elis-Thomas has repeatedly fallen out with the party leadership.
That year Plaid Cymru withdrew the whip from Lord Elis-Thomas after he failed to attend a vote of no confidence in then health secretary Lesley Griffiths.
In March 2014 he was fired as transport spokesperson and chairman of the assembly's environment committee following his criticism of the leader's attack on UKIP at the party's spring conference.
The former assembly presiding officer said it was "facile" of Ms Wood to say a vote for UKIP is a vote against Wales.
In 2015 the AM criticised the party's general election campaign, leading to him to face disciplinary action.
He won the support of local party members at that time, but clashed again with the party when he backed Labour's north Wales police and crime commissioner candidate earlier this year. | Lord Elis-Thomas left Plaid Cymru to sit as an independent AM because the party was not "serious" about taking part in the Labour-led Welsh Government, he has said. | 37667070 | [

The marine location flare was found on Saturday evening by a member of the public on Meal Beach, south east of the village of Hamnavoe on West Burra.
Police said the unexploded flare was believed to be highly toxic, and cordoned off the beach.
Bomb disposal experts are due to arrive at the scene on Wednesday.
Members of the public have been urged to stay away from the beach until the cordon has been removed and the area cleared. | Police have cordoned off a Shetland beach after a "highly toxic" distress flare washed up on the shore in the recent bad weather. | 35220934 | [

The first minister is one of six UK representatives in Forbes magazine's annual list of the world's most powerful and influential women.
A Scottish government spokesman said the list underlined the importance both of the first minister's office and the profile of Scotland as a nation.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel topped the list for the sixth year running.
Presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton was placed second, with Janet Yellen, chairwoman of the US Federal Reserve, third.
The Queen is 29th, while Ms Sturgeon is 50th overall.
The rankings consider influence, media presence, wealth and success at implementing change.
The other British women who made the list are Bank of England deputy governor Nemat Shafik at 59, Guardian editor Katharine Viner at 68, Economist editor Zanny Minton Beddoes at 78, and Eliza Manningham-Buller, chairwoman of the Wellcome Trust, at 88.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel tops the list for the sixth year in a row - and the 11th time in total.
As a central figure in German politics ever since reunification, Ms Merkel has led Germany since 2005 and is a leading force in the European Union.
Choosing her for top spot, Forbes noted that "if there is a single leader able to defy existential economic and political challenges to the European Union, from edges and core, it has been Angela Merkel."
Hillary Clinton looks set to go head-to-head with Donald Trump for the position of President of the United States in November.
Mrs Clinton, who has had previous spells in the White House as first lady to husband Bill and as foreign secretary to current President Barack Obama, is bidding to become the first female President.
She has also served as a senator for New York state, and was a leading lawyer, serving as the first female chair of the Legal Services Corporation and the first female partner at Rose Law Firm.
Janet Yellen is chair of the Federal Reserve, the central banking system of the United States.
Having previously chaired the White House Council of Economic Advisors under the Bill Clinton administration, Ms Yellen took over at the Fed in 2014, and managed the body through its first interest rate rise since June 2006.
Forbes said she is known for "steadiness, not inscrutability", lauding her use of "plain sentences and easy logic" despite being "the world's top market-mover".
Co-founder of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, alongside her former Microsoft head husband, Mrs Gates organised $4.2bn in charitable work and global development in 2015 alone.
The foundation has given out $36.7bn in grant payments since it was founded in 2000, with Mrs Gates directing the organisation and in particular championing investments in women and girls around the globe.
Forbes said her work had "inspired other big donors and changed the way funders think about effective philanthropy".
Mary Barra was promoted from chief executive to president of General Motors in January, having guided the firm to record profits in 2015.
Ms Barra has been credited with turning around the fortunes of the American car-making giant, which had to recall 30 million vehicles in 2014 due to faulty ignition switches blamed for at least 124 deaths, by fostering strong domestic sales alongside growth in China.
Forbes said her latest promotion was "no surprise", with Ms Barra leading the company on a "noticeable comeback" - and earning herself a compensation package of $28.6m last year. | Nicola Sturgeon has been ranked as the second most powerful woman in the UK, behind only the Queen. | 36463186 | [

However, Mr Tillerson said the proposals provided a basis for dialogue leading to a solution of the crisis.
On Saturday, Qatar's foreign minister rejected the list of 13 conditions imposed by Saudi Arabia and its allies, Egypt, the UAE and Bahrain.
They accuse Qatar of backing terrorism - a charge it denies.
Qatar has been under unprecedented diplomatic and economic sanctions for more than two weeks, with Iran and Turkey increasingly supplying it with food and other goods.
The four countries also want Qatar to reduce its ties with Iran and close a Turkish military base, setting a deadline on Friday of 10 days.
Among other things, the fellow Gulf states have demanded the closure of Al Jazeera TV, which is funded by the Qatari government.
Mr Tillerson said Qatar was assessing the demands and stressed there were "significant areas which provide a basis for ongoing dialogue leading to resolution".
He urged the countries to sit together to stop terrorism and counter extremism.
"A lowering of rhetoric would also help ease the tension," Mr Tillerson said.
After the demands were made on Friday, White House spokesman Sean Spicer said the dispute was "a family issue" that the countries should work out together.
On Saturday, Qatari Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani, quoted by Al Jazeera, said: "The US secretary of state recently called upon the blockading nations to produce a list of grievances that was 'reasonable and actionable'.
"The British foreign secretary asked that the demands be 'measured and realistic.' This list does not satisfy that [sic] criteria."
He said the demands were proof that the sanctions had "nothing to do with combating terrorism... [but] limiting Qatar's sovereignty, and outsourcing our foreign policy".
Al Jazeera accused them of trying to silence freedom of expression, adding: "We assert our right to practise our journalism professionally without bowing to pressure from any government or authority."
Qatar's main import routes - by land from Saudi Arabia and by sea from container ships docked in the UAE - have been disrupted, and much of the surrounding airspace has been closed to its air traffic.
However, the small but wealthy country has so far avoided economic collapse by finding alternative routes.
Qatari citizens living in neighbouring countries or with family living there have been hit harder, Reuters news agency notes, because of ultimatums issued for them to leave.
The United Arab Emirates has been trying to mediate in the crisis.
UAE's foreign minister said on Saturday there would be a "parting of ways" with Qatar if it failed to meet the demands.
"The alternative is not escalation," he said. "The alternative is parting of ways. It's very difficult for us to maintain a collective grouping with one of the partners... actively promoting what is an extremist and terrorist agenda."
US President Donald Trump has taken a hard line towards Qatar, accusing it of being a "high-level" sponsor of terrorism.
However, the Arab states involved in the crisis are all close allies of the US, while the largest US base in the Middle East is in Qatar. | Some demands set by four Arab states on Qatar in return for lifting sanctions will be "difficult to meet", US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson says. | 40399770 | [

It's the fifth coin portrait to have been created during the Queen's reign.
It was unveiled in a special ceremony in London and coins carrying the new design will also begin being made from today.
But it may take a little while for the coins to get into your pockets - new coins tend to go to cash centres and banks first. | A new picture of the Queen to appear on coins has been unveiled. | 31690289 | [

A new survey shows an overall increase of 11% in dog mess on UK beaches - it's gone up 71% in Scotland.
Dog poo is dangerous because it contains high levels of bacteria - if it gets into water it can be very bad for bathers' health.
Almost 4,500 volunteers took part in the survey by The Marine Conservation Society - across 335 UK beaches.
The society says that pet owners have been thinking ahead by carrying plastic bags to clear up dog mess - which is a good thing.
But it now wants to encourage them to take the bags off the beach and bin it in one of the many dog bins provided.
Even though levels of dog poo were up, there was some good news: overall litter levels were down this year. | Pet owners who bag up dog poo and leave it on beaches are threatening the safety of people who visit the seaside. | 17473197 | [

The 58-year-old, who will leave his England post, has managed Bournemouth, Doncaster Rovers, Crawley Town, Nottingham Forest and Bristol City.
Reds academy coach Pep Lijnders joins the first-team staff, with talks continuing over a third new coach.
Manager Brendan Rodgers needed replacements after the sackings of Colin Pascoe and Mike Marsh.
He said: "I have made these appointments because I want to take us in a new technical direction, in terms of coaching.
"I believe the entire first-team set-up will benefit and I am extremely positive and excited about what we can achieve, as a group, going forward.
"My admiration for Sean, as a professional, is well documented. He is someone with a clear vision and philosophy and has proved he has the ability to transfer that knowledge, through his coaching, to the players."
O'Driscoll, who had only been England Under-19s head coach since September, added: "I am excited to be joining one of the world's most iconic football clubs.
"The hallmark of any successful club is its culture and that comes from the people who work there, from the chief executive and first-team manager to those people behind the scenes whose faces may not be known but who are the lifeblood of the club."
The majority of Liverpool's players have reported back for pre-season training to be greeted by the revamped management team - put in place after an end-of-season review between Rodgers and owners Fenway Sports Group following a disappointing season in which Liverpool faded to finish sixth.
Rodgers became the first Reds boss since the 1950s to fail to win a trophy in his first three seasons and, after a 6-1 thrashing at Stoke on the last day of the season, accepted his position was under threat.
Liverpool are also expected to appoint another new face to the coaching set-up before the start of the season as Lijnders is likely to be involved in elite player development and will continue to oversee some top academy players rather than acting as a direct replacement for Marsh. | Liverpool have named England Under-19s boss Sean O'Driscoll as their new assistant manager. | 33401289 | [

That's according to a new report by a senior group of MPs.
Parliament's Intelligence and Security Committee said recruiters should try websites like Mumsnet to help increase the proportion of female spies.
It wants more of them working in places like MI5, MI6 and communications spy centre GCHQ.
The report says women in the intelligence services are being held back by a layer of male, middle managers labelled "the permafrost" who have a "very traditional male mentality and outlook".
Mumsnet chief executive Justine Roberts responded to the call for recruiters to use things like her website but we're thinking she wasn't being entirely serious.
"I'm afraid I'm unable to comment as I have an urgent appointment with a rock in St. James's Park."
While the report showed 37% of staff at MI5, MI6 and GCHQ are women, it also pointed out they make up less than one in five senior staff.
However, things have been changing in recent years.
Stella Rimington became the first female boss of MI5 in 1992.
That was three years before actress Judi Dench took over as James Bond's boss, M, in the British film franchise.
In response to the report the government said: "We are committed to ensuring the most talented people succeed and reach top positions, regardless of gender, ethnicity, sexuality or disability."

Saints - the last visiting team to win at Ibrox 13 months ago - took the lead early on when Blair Alston curled in a fantastic strike.
Joe Garner headed Rangers level from a corner before the break.
The visitors had several chances in the second half with Alston firing against the post while Garner had a header saved for the hosts.
With Aberdeen defeated at Hamilton Academical on Tuesday and Hearts beaten at Kilmarnock, Saints could have gone second with victory but instead they go level on points with the second-placed Dons, albeit having played a game more.
Rangers, having taken 16 points from a possible 30 since being promoted, stay fifth edging to within a point of Hearts.
The Ibrox side have won only two of their home league games this season, having also dropped points to Hamilton and Ross County.
Mark Warburton's side had improved defensively in recent weeks with clean sheets in league wins over Partick Thistle and Inverness.
However, with Wes Foderingham resuming goalkeeping duties from Matt Gilks - Rangers' best player in the 1-0 Scottish League Cup semi-final defeat by Celtic - the Ibrox side found themselves a goal down early on to Saints as Alston picked his spot after robbing Lee Hodson for his first Saints goal.
Tommy Wright engineered an away win over Rangers in last season's League Cup when the hosts - then in the Championship - bringing an end to a 11-game winning sequence.
And the Northern Irishman's team had several opportunities to go back in front early in the second half with Brian Easton, Liam Craig, Danny Swanson and Chris Kane all going close before Alston fired against a post.
Garner had netted just once since his summer move from Preston North End but the striker broke his Ibrox duck with a headed finish off Harry Forrester's corner, having gone close from a similar situation moments before.
And Garner threatened to nod Rangers ahead on 74 minutes but could not beat Zander Clark, who made good first-half saves to deny Jason Holt and Josh Windass.
Warburton sought fresh impetus in attack with the introduction of Martyn Waghorn, Kenny Miller and Barrie McKay off the bench but St Johnstone held firm with David Wotherspoon clearing a Miller effort off the line.
Rangers' Mark Warburton: "It was a decent first half but we didn't continue that and we gave the ball away cheaply.
"We weren't brave getting out, despite the possession stats we didn't play the way we wanted to.
"It's a demanding crowd because they're used to success. The players have to recognise it's an expectant crowd - and quite rightly. We have to respect that and learn from that."
St Johnstone's Tommy Wright: "It's never easy coming here. We're happy to take a point but we could have taken all three as we had a few good chances in the second half.
"We knew we'd stay above Rangers with a positive result. We're content with the return but there are no prizes given out so we're not going to get carried away with it."

Prince William's last shift was thought to have been on Tuesday.
It has been reported he could return to his regiment in London, the Household Cavalry's Blues and Royals, which would allow him to carry out more royal engagements in support of The Queen.
The duke has said the island has been a "special place" for him.
His final shift brought to an end a three-year posting on Anglesey.
In a speech at Anglesey Show in August, the duke thanked the island's people for being so welcoming to him and his wife.
"I know that I speak for Catherine when I say that I have never in my life known somewhere as beautiful and as welcoming as Anglesey," said the duke.
"I know that both of us will miss it terribly when my search and rescue tour of duty comes to an end next month and we have to move elsewhere.
"From the bottom of my heart, thank you for making my wife and me so welcome when we arrived here, as you do thousands of visitors each year."
He said the island had been their first home together and would always be an "immensely special place for us both".
"Catherine and I look forward to returning again and again over the coming years with our family," he added.
The duke graduated as a search and rescue pilot in September 2010, having started his training at Valley the previous January.
He carried out his first rescue in October 2010 during his first full operational shift.
The BBC's royal correspondent Peter Hunt tweeted that Prince William's last shift at RAF Valley was on Tuesday.
He also tweeted that it was not yet in the public domain what the duke was going to do next. | The Duke of Cambridge has completed his final shift as an RAF search and rescue pilot at Valley on Anglesey, according to BBC royal correspondent Peter Hunt. | 24049779 | [

In the last month, prices went up by 1.7%, said the Halifax, bringing the average price of a home to £208,286.
However, other lenders, such as the Nationwide measure, put the rate of increase much lower.
Last month, it said prices rose by 4.5% in 2015, less than half the Halifax estimate.
Halifax's housing economist, Martin Ellis, said one reason for the sharp increase was the continuing shortage of property for sale.
"This situation is unlikely to change significantly in the short term, resulting in continuing upward pressure on prices," he said.
The last time UK house prices rose so quickly was in 2006, when values soared by 9.9%.
The 9.5% increase in 2015 was way ahead of experts' predictions a year ago.
Martin Ellis himself predicted that prices would rise by between 3% and 5%, while most expected a figure around 4%.
Newham, in East London, was the town with the largest increase in 2015. Prices there rose by 22% in 2015, compared to 12% for London as a whole.

That was just over over half of last year's haul, when the website auctioned a coffee meeting with the Apple boss.
The money will benefit the Robert F Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights.
CharityBuzz declined to reveal the winner, who will get a one-hour lunch with Mr Cook at Apple headquarters (cost of travel not included).
Mr Cook also added a second prize on Twitter, which will give the winner a VIP seat at an upcoming Apple event.
CharityBuzz had estimated the value of the lunch date at around $100,000.
Part of the reason for the lower price tag could be that CharityBuzz implemented a finance authorisation requirement for anyone wishing to bid on the auction.
But while appetite for a bite with Mr Cook may have cooled (or Silicon Valley lovers might just prefer a well-brewed cup of coffee), his stock, much like Apple's, remains high.
An auction for a similar lunch date with former Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke took in just over $70,000, and a still-open auction for a coffee date with AOL boss Tim Armstrong - which also includes a tour of HuffingtonPost Live and a taped interview - currently has zero bids.
Warren Buffett, chief executive of Berkshire Hathaway, was one of the first to popularise a "lunch with the boss"-style charity auction 14 years ago.
Last year, lunch with the "oracle of Omaha" sold for more than $1m on eBay, off the record $3.5m winning bid in 2012. | A lunch date with Tim Cook has sold for close to $330,000 (£196,000) on the auction website CharityBuzz. | 27401465 | [

The supporters had been on a stadium tour but managed to cut themselves off from the remainder of the party.
They were found on Saturday morning during a security sweep of the stadium before being handed over to police, who decided not to arrest the pair.
United say there was no risk to supporters attending the Arsenal game.
The pair had been searched and their belongings put through a metal detector before they went on the tour.
The incident comes six months after United's Premier League game against Bournemouth at Old Trafford had to be called off at short notice when a suspect package was found in a toilet in the corner of the stadium.
It turned out to be a fake explosive left behind after a training exercise earlier in the week. | Two Manchester United fans spent Friday night undetected in an Old Trafford toilet in an attempt to see Saturday's Premier League game against Arsenal. | 38062339 | [

Stead curled home with 14 minutes remaining to cap a fine comeback at the Northern Gas and Power Stadium after Louis Lang cancelled out Toto Nsiala's opener.
Hartlepool flew out of the blocks and took an eighth-minute lead when Nsiala bundled home at the back post after Lewis Alessandra beat his man and sent in a pin-point cross.
There was plenty more action in an entertaining opening period, Stead and Matthew Bates hitting the woodwork at either end.
The former struck the post again early in the second half, before Lang capitalised on Pools' defence switching off by slotting a deserved equaliser into an empty net.
Stead would eventually produce the decisive moment, turning coolly in the area and sending a left-footed strike beyond Trevor Carson.
Pools pressed for a leveller to preserve an unbeaten league start, but their efforts proved in vain as the Magpies collected a first win of the campaign.

Many residents are "devastated" at the move, according to a local councillor.
But Shoreline Housing said 52% of locals backed the demolition of the East Marsh blocks and Comber Place maisonettes, while 42% were against it.
A total of 457 flats are affected and will start to be emptied in October, with residents rehomed over the next four years.
Councillor Steve Beasant, who represents people in the East Marsh ward, said: "Residents are devastated at the news.
"They actually thought that Shoreline was beginning to think again about the multi-storey flats."
Shoreline said it would carry out a study by April to find out if it is "affordable and viable" to provide suitable alternative older persons' accommodation.
The company added that its employees at the buildings would also be affected by the demolition decision. A review of staff structure is to be undertaken.
A Shoreline spokesman said: "We strongly believe this is in the best long-term interests of Shoreline so that we can ensure our continuing ability to invest in affordable modern accommodation across the borough for years to come." | Six high rise blocks in Grimsby are to be demolished meaning hundreds of people will have to move home. | 29323715 | [

Alves, 33, joined from Sevilla and won three Champions Leagues, six La Liga titles and four Copa del Rey trophies.
The Catalan club's director Robert Fernandez said: "Dani Alves has decided to leave. It's a personal decision that the club have to accept."
The Spanish champions also said they will exercise a buy-back option to sign Denis Suarez from Villarreal in July.
Suarez, 22, joined Villarreal from Barcelona last summer and signed a four-year deal but Fernandez said they will now be "notified of his return".
Alves signed a one-year deal at the club last summer and will leave a free agent at the end of a season in which Barca secured a league and cup double.
His tally of 391 games is the second-highest for a foreign player at the club behind Lionel Messi.
Alves, who netted 21 goals in his eight years at Barca, wrote a message for the clubs fans on Instagram when it was announced he would leave the club.
The Brazilian said the club was home to "the greatest accomplishments of my professional career".
"From the first day, from the first training session under Pep Guardiola until the last day of this past season, I have had the good luck to enjoy football with passion," wrote Alves.
"I am a privileged, hard-working and honoured football player, for whom life has allowed me to wear the shirt of the best club in the world in a prodigious decade marked by the quality of the players and coaches.
"I am going, but I will be back, because I am not just another player." | Brazil international full-back Dani Alves will leave Barcelona after eight years at the club. | 36435788 | [

The shadow attorney general apologised for the message, which showed a terraced house with three England flags, and a white van parked outside.
UKIP said she had "sneered, and looked down her nose at a white van in Strood with the cross of St George on it".
Labour leader Ed Miliband was "angry" at her, a senior figure told the BBC.
The resident of the house, Dan Ware, said Ms Thornberry - the MP for Islington South and Finsbury - was a "snob".
"I've not got a clue who she is - but she's a snob," he told the Sun. "We put the flags up for the World Cup (in 2014) and will continue to fly them."
Mr Ware, a car dealer, said he would never vote for Labour in the future, adding that it did not "matter" who was in government.
"I think they (Labour) need to get out of their mansions and visit the working class. Her and Ed (Miliband) should come and say sorry to me."
Ms Thornberry posted the image on Thursday, while voting was taking place in the by-election in Kent. Alongside the picture, she wrote: "Image from Rochester."
Labour came third in the high-profile poll behind UKIP, which won the seat and saw its second MP elected to Westminster.
Speaking outside her London home, Ms Thornberry said she had "made a mistake" and apologised "if she had upset or insulted anybody".
Shadow Foreign Secretary Douglas Alexander said Labour leader Ed Miliband had "not held back" in expressing his dismay with the MP's actions.
"Anyone who wants to stand for election and be successful next May has to start with a fundamental and deep respect for voters," he told BBC Radio 4's Today.
"The anger Ed (Miliband) felt when he saw that tweet reflected his understanding that we need to earn the support of people around the country."
BBC political editor Nick Robinson said the tweet had "given the Tory press an alternative narrative" to the party's defeat in Rochester.
He said: "It is the most extraordinary self-inflicted wound I have seen an opposition party inflict on themselves in many, many years."
Prime Minister David Cameron said the Labour MP's actions were "completely appalling", suggesting that she was "sneering at people who work hard, are patriotic and love their country".
The 54-year-old entered Parliament as MP for Islington South and Finsbury in 2005 and served as shadow energy and health spokeswoman before taking the role of shadow attorney general in 2011.
The daughter of a former assistant secretary general of the United Nations, she was born in Surrey and was called to the bar in 1983, specialising in criminal law.
She had a majority of 3,569 over the Liberal Democrat candidate at the 2010 general election.
Rochester and Strood: What's next for parties?
How unusual is Rochester and Strood?
Ms Thornberry is believed to have had two conversations with Labour leader Ed Miliband after posting the tweet, and offered her resignation during the second one.
In a statement released by the Labour Party, Ms Thornberry said: "Earlier today I sent a tweet which has caused offence to some people.
"That was never my intention and I have apologised. However I will not let anything distract from Labour's chance to win the coming general election."
"I have therefore tonight told Ed Miliband I will resign from the shadow cabinet."
Labour MPs said she had been right to stand down, Chris Bryant telling the BBC "the first rule of politics is surely that you respect the voters".
"She was absolutely wrong to tweet what she did," he said. "All I can say is, if somebody came into my constituency and did that, I would be furious."
And John Mann said the incident was "horrendous" for Labour.
"It insults people like me, it insults the people I know - my friends and family - Labour voters across the country because white vans, England flags, they're Labour values and actually pretty routine Labour values for most of us," he told Today.
He praised Mr Miliband's response, adding: "I think this is a different approach from the Labour leader and his message came out very, very clearly last night and she's had to go, she's been forced out."
But Mr Farage suggested the episode reflected broader attitudes within parts of the Labour Party.
"The Labour Party hate the concept of Englishness," he told the BBC News Channel. "They have done for a very long time.
"New Labour can't even stand the concept of patriotism. They think the flag somehow is unpleasant, backward-looking and nasty. People like Emily Thornberry would rather we had that blue flag with 12 stars on it that comes to us from Brussels." | Emily Thornberry has resigned from Labour's front bench after sending a tweet during the Rochester and Strood by-election which was branded "snobby". | 30139832 | [

Many of the dead were young boys who were in a trophy ceremony hit by the bomber, himself said to be a teenager.
So-called Islamic State (IS) said it carried out the attack.
IS is a mainly Sunni group which controls large swathes of northern and western Iraq, and has attacked numerous Shia targets in the country.
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, in Iraq for talks with the government, expressed his condolences to the families of the victims.
"I would like to take this opportunity to express my deepest condolences to the people and government of Iraq, and particularly those members of the families affected by terrorist attacks yesterday," he told reporters in Baghdad.
Mr Ban urged Iraqi leaders to step up reconciliation efforts between Shias and Sunnis in order to defeat IS.
Friday's attack happened in Iskandariya, a mainly Shia town 40km (25 miles) south of the capital, Baghdad.
Video posted on social media showed the moment of the blast, as an official was speaking in front of a crowd of dozens of people, including the young players.
The footage cuts off with a big flash of yellow light. It then shows the chaos and screaming of people fleeing the area.
A medical official said 17 of the dead were boys aged between 10 and 16, AFP news agency reported.

Mayor Ahmed Shaker was also killed, as was one of his bodyguards and at least five members of the security forces, it said.
Some 84 others were wounded, and 12 of them were said to be in critical condition.
Iskandariya is in a region that was once called "the triangle of death" and was badly affected by sectarian violence that followed the 2003 US-led invasion of Iraq.
In a statement, FIFA President Gianni Infantino said he was "shocked" by what he described as a "tragedy".
The UN chief also urged politicians to foster reconciliation with the minority Sunni, who say they were marginalised under the Shia-led government.
Some discontented Sunnis have joined IS and other extremist groups.
"National reconciliation is an important part of the strategy to defeat Daesh, who have ruthlessly exploited divisions and targeted the marginalized and disenfranchised," he said, using another name for IS.
IS has been losing some territory of its self-declared caliphate that includes parts of neighbouring Syria, and Iraqi forces have started an operation to retake Mosul, the largest city under the group's control.
Meanwhile, thousands of supporters of the powerful Shia cleric Moqtada Sadr continued their sit-in outside the gates of the heavily fortified Green Zone, an area of government offices and embassies in Baghdad.
They have urged Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi to announce a new-cabinet and fresh measures to fight corruption.
Mr Abadi said on Saturday a new cabinet would be announced within a week. | Iraq has buried the victims of a suicide attack in a football match in the city of Iskandariya that killed at least 32 people. | 35904425 | [

The report was part of a campaign to undermine a nation which valued human rights, it said.
The UN published the report after a year-long investigation.
It said the government may have committed crimes against humanity, including a shoot-to-kill policy on its borders.
President Isaias Afewerki has governed the East African nation for 22 years, and the country has never held elections since gaining independence from Ethiopia in 1993.
Eritreans account for the second-largest group of migrants crossing the Mediterranean, after Syrians, with an estimated 5,000 fleeing every month.
The report said Eritreans flee the hardship caused by systematic and widespread human rights abuses.
Eritrea's foreign ministry said in a statement that the UN's allegations were "totally unfounded and devoid of all merit".
"They are an attack, not so much on the government, but on a civilised society and people who cherish human values and dignity," it added.

The Seasiders struck with the first real chance after 12 minutes as Nathan Delfouneso jinked past his man and delivered a pinpoint chip into the area, where Jamille Matt turned the ball home from three yards.
Blackpool goalkeeper Sam Slocombe denied Matthew Briggs with a sensational save to push the ball behind after 17 minutes, but the visitors did equalise from the resulting corner as Kurtis Guthrie prodded in from close range after a goalmouth scramble.
Somehow, Colchester failed to re-take the lead on the stroke of half-time as Slocombe produced a brilliant save from George Elokobi's close-range effort, before Guthrie headed against the bar from two yards.
Blackpool should have clinched the win 15 minutes from time, as Tom Aldred was found unmarked from a corner, but he headed wide from eight yards.
Colchester finished the game with 10 men, after substitute Sean Murray was shown a straight red for a bad tackle on Jim McAlister in injury time.

The Louisiana governor, a likely contender for his party's presidential nomination in 2016, said a number of Republicans had "damaged the brand" by making "offensive and bizarre" comments.
He's talking of course about those remarks about "legitimate rape" and how rape can't lead to pregnancy.
The Republicans who made those comments did seem to be going out of their way to back up John Stuart Mill's 1866 comment: "I never meant to say that the Conservatives are generally stupid. I meant to say that stupid people are generally Conservative. I believe that is so obviously and universally admitted a principle that I hardly think any gentleman will deny it."
OK. That's the headline grabber. But it is hardly a revelation to point out that those who make weird noises during an election campaign should shut up.
So it is worth looking at Gov Jindal's prescription in full. It is, after all, among the first contributions from a big name of the Republican party on how not to go down to defeat for a third time in a row.
He's adamant the party shouldn't change its principles. Not on taxation or big government, of course. But not on abortion or gay marriage either.
He rejects Mr Romney's apparent contention that 47% of voters were out of reach for Republicans, which was always, when you think about it, a counsel of despair.
Gov Jindal identifies a core Republican problem: they are overwhelmingly white in a country that is becoming more of a melting pot day by day.
"We must reject the notion that demography is destiny, the pathetic and simplistic notion that skin pigmentation dictates voter behaviour," he said.
He's a good person to say this. His parents came to the US from India in 1970. It says a lot about the way America has changed that he has become the governor of a state that resisted civil rights and defended segregation to the bitter end.
I don't want to underplay how important that is - but his speech doesn't say how Republicans can reach the fastest growing ethnic group - Latinos - without shifting their stance on immigration reform.
Moreover, I am puzzled by what appears to be the core of his message. He rejects big government - but also seems to reject the fights about it in Washington.
He calls not only the debates about gun control, but also those on the fiscal cliff and debt ceiling "sideshows".
"These are in reality sideshows in Washington that we have allowed to take centre stage in our country - and as conservatives, we are falling into the sideshow trap," he said.
This is not an isolated point.
"We seem to have an obsession with government bookkeeping," he says. "We as Republicans have to accept that government number crunching - even conservative number crunching - is not the answer to our nation's problems."
Of course he's underscoring an inherent irony in conservatism - those politicians who dislike government put all their time and effort and will and money into becoming part of the government, so they can do away with much of it.
Inevitably, they rather like being part of it, and stick around for years trying to slim down something they disapprove of, fanatical dieters insisting on eating at the best restaurants so they can better control the portion sizes.
It is an irony, in that one can chuckle about it, but it is not a paradox. It is, I would have thought, pretty essential for conservatives who want to control government spending to have control of that government.
His argument seems to be that Republicans should spend their time encouraging the "real economy" and leaving it up to the states to spend what little public money he deems necessary.
Maybe this is merely a coded attack on those Republicans in the House of Representatives, who seem to think they won the election.
If he is identifying them as a major part of the party's image problem, he is right, but he's not pointing a way out of their complex dilemma - the choice between being quislings to faithful Republicans or obstructionists in the mind of most Americans.
So an "A" for effort, grabbing headlines, and identifying the obvious, but a "C" for a rather confused economic approach, which looks more like a desire to say something jolting than a serious contribution.
I'm looking forward to hearing Florida Senator Marco Rubio, and, even more, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, describe the way ahead.
But Gov Jindal has made a start confronting his shocked, and rather complacent, party. | Bobby Jindal is warning that the Republicans must stop being the "stupid party". | 21203235 | [

The government and the doctors' union have agreed to continue negotiating until Wednesday.
The talks, hosted by conciliation service Acas, which started on Monday are seen as the last chance for the two sides to agree a deal.
They were set up following a series of strikes and included the first-ever full walk-out by doctors.
It comes after the government announced in February it would be imposing the contract from this summer after previous talks failed.
Discussions first started in 2012, but broke down in 2014, before Acas hosted talks at the turn of this year.
The main focus of this week's talks have been on Saturday pay, although the British Medical Association (BMA) team has also been raising other issues, including funding the government's seven-day NHS policy.
If these talks fail, the government has indicated it will push ahead with the imposition of the contract.
Hospitals are due to start sending out contracts for positions from the end of this month.
These will be for those medics graduating from medical school, but over the course of the next 12 months much of the rest of the 55,000-strong workforce will be moved on to the new terms and conditions.
Ministers have argued the new contract, which makes it cheaper to rota junior doctors at weekends, is needed to improve care.
Acas chair Sir Brendan Barber said the talks had been conducted in a "constructive and positive atmosphere" and some real progress had been made.
"This is a strictly time limited extension and represents a final opportunity to find an agreement as the basis for the resolution of this difficult dispute."
He said neither the BMA or government would be making any statement.
When it entered the talks, the government agreed to put imposition of the contract on hold, while the doctors' union suspended its threat of further industrial action.
Under the terms of the new contract, basic pay is to be increased by 13.5% on average, but other elements of the pay package are to be curbed, including what constitutes unsociable hours.
Day hours on a Saturday will be paid at a normal rate, while extra premiums that are being offered for the rest of the weekend are lower than what is currently paid.
As a result of the dispute between the government and the BMA, there were four strikes by junior doctors in England affecting routine - but not urgent care - between January and early April.
At the end of April there were two one-day strikes affecting all forms of care, including emergencies - the first such action in the history of the NHS.

Warwickshire's Woakes will play his first Test match in 16 months, after Anderson suffered a calf injury.
Alex Hales, 26, is set to make his Test debut and will be the eighth opener to partner Alastair Cook since 2012.
South Africa are ranked number one but lost their last series in India 3-0.
An England victory by any scoreline would see South Africa lose top spot to India, while only a win will ensure captain Alastair Cook's men improve their ranking of sixth.
However, England have won only one series in South Africa since the Proteas were readmitted to Test cricket in 1991 and Cook's side have triumphed only once in their last 15 overseas Tests.
Although England were Ashes winners four months ago, from the XI that played in the fifth Test against Australia, three have been dropped, two have been shifted around the order and two are injured.
The ankle injury to pace bowler Mark Wood is covered by the fit-again Finn, while 26-year-old right-armer Woakes steps in for Anderson to play his fifth Test.
"What an opportunity for him to play," said Cook, speaking on his 31st birthday. "He's been around the squad for a long time and he'll be itching to make his mark."
Anderson, 33, was almost fit enough to start in Durban and remains likely to return for the second Test.
"It's a shame for Jimmy, but we've got some really good guys coming in to replace him," said Stuart Broad, who will lead the attack in Anderson's absence.
"Steven Finn was the standout bowler last week [against South Africa A, when he took six wickets]. The other guys have all put in performances throughout this tour."
Meanwhile, spin bowler Moeen Ali will drop back down to number eight after covering as an opener against Pakistan, and Jonny Bairstow, who played in the Ashes as a specialist batsman, will retain the wicketkeeping gloves following the dropping of Jos Buttler midway through the Pakistan series.
Joe Root has recovered from his stomach illness and will be fit to play. James Taylor continues at number five, but there will be a new-look top three, with Nick Compton poised to play behind Hales and Cook in place of Ian Bell.
While Nottinghamshire's Hales averages only 38 in first-class cricket, he is the only England batsman to have scored hundreds in Twenty20 and one-day internationals, and also made a half-century in the warm-up match against South Africa A.
However, England will face Dale Steyn and Morne Morkel - probably the world's best new-ball pair - on pace-friendly pitches with a top eight where none except Cook and Joe Root have played more than 20 Tests.
A formidable South Africa side that went nine years and 30 Test series with only two defeats is now also in a state of transition.
Finding a replacement for all-rounder Jacques Kallis, who retired in 2013, was always likely to be difficult, but the Proteas have also struggled at the top of the order since former captain Graeme Smith quit the following year.
It was the batting which failed the Proteas in India, prompting Hashim Amla's side into a reshuffle of their own.
"Opening the batting is the most difficult job in Test cricket," Amla said. "Dean Elgar has been very good for us, and Stiaan van Zyl has got the full potential to be a great opener for us."

"It was a tough tour for the openers in India, but then again it was a tough tour for all the batters."
Most significantly, AB de Villiers has been asked to keep wicket in order to find space for another batsman.
De Villiers is ranked as the third best Test batsman in the world and Amla seventh, but England will be targeting the rest of a top seven that is either inexperienced or out of form.
The home side are boosted by Steyn's recovery from a groin injury, but Vernon Philander is out with an ankle problem.
"The way Dale has been bowling in the nets has been unbelievable," Amla said. "He's been the best bowler in the world for many years. We're really glad to have him back."
England have visited South Africa four times since the Proteas returned to the international fold, with each tour proving memorable for a variety of reasons.
England's 1-0 defeat in 1995-96 was the tour in which Michael Atherton batted for nearly 11 hours to earn a draw in Johannesburg, while South Africa's 2-1 win four years later included the 'leather jacket Test', when disgraced former Proteas captain Hansie Cronje was paid to corruptly ensure that the fifth Test did not end in a draw.
In 2004-05, Michael Vaughan's England secured a 2-1 win that preceded their Ashes triumph, while the one-day leg of the trip saw Kevin Pietersen score three centuries despite abuse from the crowds in the country of his birth.
Six years ago, on England's most recent South Africa tour, they escaped with a 1-1 series draw after number 11 Graham Onions twice saw off the final over of the match to earn two draws.
BBC cricket correspondent Jonathan Agnew
"There's no question England are confident of pulling off their second unexpected success of the year, but they will have to bat better than they did while winning the Ashes.
"The batting is the battleground of the series, with South Africa's line-up losing a lot of confidence in their defeat in India, which resulted in both frontline spinners being dropped and AB de Villiers returning to keep wicket.
"England also came unstuck against Pakistan but both teams will prefer the conditions that await them in these four Tests.
"South Africa's pace attack will target Alex Hales, who has to prove he has the technique and temperament to cope with high-class new-ball bowling. If he fails, Nick Compton will move quickly from three to opener.
"The pace bowling of both teams will be challenging and exciting and it will be the batting line-up that deals with it the best that will ultimately prevail."
England coach Trevor Bayliss: "It's been a good 12 days that we've been here. It was good to see our top four guys score runs.
"To be successful in this series, the top four guys are going to have to play very well so it's good for them to spend some time in the middle leading up to this first Test.
"Everyone has scored some runs and taken some wickets so, preparation-wise, it's as good as we could have hoped for getting ready to play the number one team in the world."

The 34-year-old - nicknamed 'The Beast' and recognised for his immense physical strength on the Fifa series of video games - joined Wycombe on Sunday.
But during the first game of their pre-season trip to France, he saw red for a scuffle after an opponent shoved Wycombe's Luke O'Nien to the ground.
Striker Akinfenwa later said on Twitter: "The sending off was dubious."
However, he continued: "I should have known better but guess every day is a learning day."
The Le Havre player also saw red for the incident, but both sides continued to play 11 v 11 on the request of both managers. | Adebayo Akinfenwa was sent off on his Wycombe Wanderers debut in a pre-season friendly against Le Havre on Tuesday. | 36782342 | [

The new rules, brought in on Friday, also include stopping Syrian refugees travelling to the US until further notice.
Mr Trump said the plans were about keeping America safe from terrorism, and it was not a ban against Muslims.
There have been big protests against the ban over the weekend.

Demolition of the existing buildings is still subject to a bat mitigation licence being granted by Natural England.
Commercial Estates Group (CEG) was granted permission in 2011 to redevelop in Carlyon Bay.
The £250m redevelopment project would include housing and leisure facilities.
The site, near St Austell, was previously home to the Cornwall Coliseum complex, which hosted acts such as Cliff Richard, Status Quo and The Who.
CEG development director John Kenny said the company was planning a "major development which will have major benefits", including providing more than 400 construction jobs and 500 jobs after completion. | Designs for a new development on the site of the old Cornwall Coliseum building at Carlyon Bay have been approved by Cornwall Council. | 31445509 | [

Officials believe Lawrence Phillips, 40, killed himself early on Wednesday.
In the 1990s, he was a star player at the University of Nebraska, making him a sought-after rookie in the NFL.
Phillips played for the St Louis Rams, Miami Dolphins and San Francisco 49ers until 1999, but he was plagued by trouble on and off the field.
After his NFL career, Phillips continued to have problems with the law.
Eventually, he was sent to prison after being convicted of assault for driving his car into a group of teenagers.
In another case, he was convicted of assaulting a former girlfriend.
Phillips, who was serving a term of more than 30 years, had been placed in a cell alone after he was accused of killing his former cellmate.
On Tuesday, a judge found that there was enough evidence to try Phillips in the death of Damion Soward, 37.
It is unclear how he took his own life.
"He was an intelligent person and had some good qualities," Tom Osborne, his coach at Nebraska, told the Associated Press news agency.
"Yet he had some anger issues and couldn't overcome the demons in his life.'' | A former US professional football player whose career was cut short by disciplinary problems has been found dead inside his California prison cell. | 35307918 | [

Johnny Sexton's 15th-minute penalty was the only first-half score as Connacht produced some stout defending.
However, Leinster upped the pace after Sean O'Brien's introduction and Josh van der Flier's try put them in control and Sexton kicked the conversion.
Ian Madigan added a penalty as Connacht suffered a third straight Pro12 defeat.
In contrast Leinster, despite having lost all four of the their European Champions Cup games, have now earned six straight wins in the Pro12 to move to within a point of leaders Scarlets, who were edged out 29-27 by Cardiff Blues on Friday.
Early-season leaders Connacht will drop to fourth place if Ulster defeat Munster at Kingspan Stadium on Saturday.
Van der Flier's crucial 61st-minute try was awarded by referee George Clancy after his consultation with TMO Marshall Kilgore even though replays appeared inconclusive.
However, Leinster deserved their victory as impressive displays from Eoin Reddan and O'Brien, making his 100th appearance for the province, helped them control most of the second half after being contained despite playing with a wind advantage in the opening period.
Sexton's penalty on the quarter hour mark was the only score of a bruising first half with Connacht repelling several threatening attacks from the home side.
Connacht were close to snatching a try before the break with Leinster's Ireland wing Dave Kearney making a vital intervention to bundle Niyi Adeolokun into touch after Tiernan O'Halloran's grubber kick.
Kearney's initial burst into the Connacht 22 helped set up van der Flier's try on 61 minutes although replays suggested that he may have been held up by John Muldoon.
A couple of other refereeing decisions appeared to go against Connacht - including an apparent missed knock-on by Rob Kearney near to his own line - as Bundee Aki attempted to inspire a rally from the visitors with some strong running.
Madigan's late penalty confirmed Leinster's victory as they moved to within a point of the Scarlets with also a game in hand.
Leinster coach Leo Cullen: "To be only 3-0 up at half-time left after having had the wind advantage definitely left us with a bit of a mountain to climb.
"But in the second half, we controlled the ball well in difficult conditions and we're delighted to come away with a win and to keep Connacht scoreless as well."

The West Midlands officer and two other men are being questioned on suspicion of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.
Police said they were given "false and malicious information" suggesting an officer was to "be kidnapped as part of a terrorist plot".
West Midlands police were put on high alert because of the hoax.
The three Birmingham men are questioned by anti-terrorism and anti-corruption teams.
The 28-year-old officer at Birmingham West & Central Local Policing Unit has also been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in a public office and misuse of police systems.
The other men, aged 25 and 31, are also being questioned on suspicion of conspiracy to commit misconduct in a public office.
The force issued an alert to officers and staff after receiving the anonymous tip-off on 8 December last year.
It urged them to take extra precautions, including not wearing uniform during journeys to and from work.
"At a time when the national threat level was severe, the threat was considered credible and police acted swiftly to protect officers and police staff," a police spokesman said.
The three men are being questioned by detectives from West Midland Police's Anti-Corruption Unit, with support from the Counter Terrorism Unit.
A 31-year-old man, who was arrested on the day of the offence, was eliminated from inquiries and has been deported. | Three men, including a police officer, have been arrested following a hoax terror plot to kidnap an officer. | 34185474 | [

Leg-spinner Mason Crane, called into the England Test squad earlier in the day, took 3-21 as the hosts restricted Glamorgan to 118-6 on a slow pitch.
Captain James Vince (60 not out) saw Hampshire home with six overs to spare.
Meanwhile, Middlesex prevailed in a tight finish at Lord's as Sussex, who needed five runs from the last over for victory, could only manage two.
Middlesex posted 147-6 thanks to Stevie Eskinazi's 57 not out from 44 balls and Paul Stirling's 40 from 31, as England seamer Chris Jordan (2-29) impressed.
Sussex began their chase well thanks to Chris Nash (64), but only he and Stiaan van Zyl (34) reached double figures as they slumped from 125-4 in the 17th over to 140-7 - with eight runs needed from the final nine balls of the innings.
That meant a nervy last over, bowled by seamer Tom Helm - but he began with two dot balls, had Jofra Archer caught off the third, and David Wiese could only manage a two off the fifth ball as Helm held his nerve and Middlesex sneaked home by two runs.
It leaves both South Group sides in mid-table on 10 points from 11 games.
Meanwhile, Hampshire's spin-heavy tactics were clear from the start with Crane, fellow leg-spinner Shahid Afridi and slow left-armer Liam Dawson taking a combined 6-52 from their 12 overs of spin.
Dawson - left out of the Test squad in favour of Crane - took the new ball and made an immediate impact, bowling Aneurin Donald with the third ball of the match.
Glamorgan's top order could not get going and only a stand of 53 in the final 6.3 overs between Andrew Salter (37 not out) and Graham Wagg (15 not out) gave them any respectability.
But despite losing debutant wicketkeeper Calvin Dickinson in the first over, Hampshire always looked in control of an easy run chase.
Vince's unbeaten 60 came off just 41 balls and featured 10 fours, while he was ably assisted by Tom Alsop (28 from 19) and George Bailey (25 not out).
It helped Hampshire move to within a point of Glamorgan at the top with two games left.
Gloucestershire who have a game in hand, and Somerset occupy the other quarter-final berths, two points ahead of Sussex, Middlesex and Surrey.

Early indications are of wide variations nationwide, with up to one in six missing out on their first choice of school in some areas.
While in other areas, almost all got their number one preference.
It comes days after council leaders said two in five local authorities would have too few places by 2016.
Pressure is growing, particularly in schools on London's fringes and in cities such as Leicester, Nottingham, Reading and Peterborough.
However, in London, around 99,000 pupils or 95% received a place at one of their six preferred schools this year - up 1,100 and nearly five percentage points from last year.
Of those, 81% got into their first preference school, the same proportion as the two previous years. But there were wide local variations within the capital. In Kensington and Chelsea, only 59% got their first preference, while in Barking and Dagenham it was 91%.
This comes against a backdrop of an extra 900 applications in the capital this year.
The crisis has been precipitated mainly by a booming birth-rate, partly by immigration and by families moving specifically to be near popular schools.
The demand for school places has risen steeply in Harrow, which has some very good primary schools. It was predicted to be 12% over capacity by this September but the council said it had worked really hard to ensure there are enough places for Harrow children this year.
A spokesman said the crush Harrow was seeing now was very likely to affect other areas around the country soon.
Initial results from a Press Association survey of town halls shows families in some areas are more likely to gain a place at their top choice than in others.
Results from Birmingham show 84.7% of children starting reception have got a place at their first preference, while 94.8% got one of their listed choices. Around one in 20 applicants - 826 children - were given a school that was not one of their preferred options. A further 3.3% - 532 youngsters - have been offered a school outside the city.
Figures from East Sussex show 84.68% got their first choice, while in Southampton the percentage was 85.4%.
In Derbyshire, 93.4% of youngsters received their first pick, in Torbay it was 86.2%, Bristol was 84% - up from 82% last year, and in Cornwall it was 90.7%.
In Kent the figure was was 85.81%, up slightly from 84.9% last year.
Labour and the National Association of Head Teachers also blame the coalition government's free-school policy, which has allowed some new schools to be opened in areas that already have surplus places.
At the same time, the ability of local authorities to plan for population surges has been reduced by regulations requiring any new schools to be either an academy or a free school, rather than a council school.
NAHT general secretary Russell Hobby said: "We have a balkanised system with authorities, academies and central government taking decisions in isolation."
He added: "There is a desperate need for long-term planning that spans all sectors. With the massive increase in pupil numbers and over-stretched budgets, we cannot afford inefficiency and conflict."
The Local Government Association said the escalating places shortage was one of the key areas that needed to be tackled by the next government.
Earlier this month, it said schools were "reaching their limits and could soon run out of space and money for extra places" and there would be a need for an extra 880,000 pupils at a cost of £12bn.
The Conservatives blame Labour for the problem saying the party "cut over 200,000 primary school places - and even ignored official warnings to provide extra school places after a baby boom".
A spokesman added: "The Conservatives have created over 400,000 school places. There are fewer children in overcrowded primary schools and, most importantly, one million more children in good or outstanding schools since 2010."
Labour points out that under the Conservative-Lib Dem administration the number of infant children in classes with more than 30 pupils has more than trebled from 31,265 in 2010 to 102,615 in 2015.
Shadow education secretary Tristram Hunt blamed the Conservatives for spending "hundreds of millions of taxpayers' money on a few free schools in areas where there are no shortages of places".
But Natalie Evans, director of New Schools Network, said: "Over 90% of primary free schools opened or approved to open are in areas where new school places are needed. But they are also offering new choices in areas of low standards."
Liberal Democrat schools minister David Laws said: "It's astonishing that Labour and the Conservatives won't properly fund these children. It will be impossible to provide a place for every child and raise standards unless we protect education budgets."
Ty Goddard, co-founder of think-tank Education Foundation, said England's vast education property estate could be used with more imagination, but called for the parties to work together on solving the school places issue. He said a national "school places taskforce" should be set up to solve the issue with clarity, speed and partnership. | More than half a million families are discovering which primary schools their children will attend, amid a growing places squeeze in parts of England. | 32162021 | [

At the end of a mammoth one-hour press conference following his suspension from football for eight years, Blatter echoed Arnold Schwarzenegger's famous catchphrase from the Terminator film franchise, suggesting he is not done yet.
With Blatter, 79, also sporting a plaster on his face in the style of US rapper Nelly and claiming to be Fifa's "punching ball", it was surreal and quotable affair as he denied any wrongdoing in four languages.
The Swiss has never been shy to air his views during his 17-year stint as president - BBC Sport looks back at some of his most notable comments.
"To say that today is a good day for me or for Fifa, this would be totally wrong.
"I am really sorry. I am sorry that I am still a punching ball. I am as president of Fifa this punching ball. And I am sorry for football. I am sorry to Fifa.
"I have never lost my mind.
"I'm not the cleverest man in the world, but like they say in French: Je ne suis pas un imbecile [I'm not a fool].
"What was wrong with me is at the end of the World Cup in Brazil I should have stopped."
"Fifa is still working well."
Highlights from Blatter's news conference after Fifa's ethics committee handed him and Uefa boss Michel Platini eight-year bans from football, December 2015.
"I am the president now, the president of everybody.
"I take the responsibility to bring back Fifa where it should be... Let's go Fifa! Let's go Fifa!
"At the end of my term I will give up Fifa in a strong position."
Blatter proves to be far from psychic about the end of his reign, speaking after he won won a fifth term as president,May 2015.
"Let the women play in more feminine clothes like they do in volleyball. They could, for example, have tighter shorts.
"Female players are pretty, if you excuse me for saying so, and they already have some different rules to men - such as playing with a lighter ball.
"That decision was taken to create a more female aesthetic, so why not do it in fashion?"
Blatter's suggestion for increasing the popularity of women's football, January 2004.
"I could understand it if it had happened in Africa, but not in Italy."
Blatter, speaking to La Gazzetta dello Sport in March 2006 as a match-fixing scandal came to light in Italy's top two divisions.
"Listen, this is a special approach in the Anglo-Saxon countries. If this had happened in, let's say, Latin countries then I think he would have been applauded."
Blatter says John Terry should not have been sacked as England captain amid allegations - subsequently revealed to be untrue - of an extramarital affair, February 2010.
"I'd say they should refrain from any sexual activities."
Blatter if he foresaw any problems for gay fans travelling to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, where homosexuality is illegal, December 2010.
"There is no racism [on the field], but maybe there is a word or gesture that is not correct.
"The one affected by this should say 'this is a game' and shake hands."
Blatter after the Football Association charged Liverpool's Luis Suarez with racially abusing Manchester United's Patrice Evra during a Premier League game. The Fifa president later said his comments had been misunderstood, November 2011.
"Say something, ladies. You are always speaking at home, now you can speak here."
Blatter addresses the Fifa Congress in Mauritius as the first woman is appointed to its executive committee, May 2013.
"They want to get rid of me. All this opposition is coming now, it's unfortunate to say it. It's coming from Nyon, from Uefa. They don't have the courage to come in. So let me go [on] -- be respectful!"
Blatter says he believes Uefa is behind a campaign to remove him from the presidency, January 2015.
"Women's football is definitely my baby. I consider myself, a little bit, as the godfather of women's football in Fifa."
Blatter in an interview to the BBC, May 2015.
"I am a mountain goat that keeps going and going and going, I cannot be stopped, I just keep going."
Blatter explains the secret of his longevity to Swiss newspaper NZZ a few days before he is re-elected for a fifth term, May 2015.
"It's not good for all this to emerge just two days before the Fifa presidential elections.
"I'm not going to use the word coincidence, but I do have a small question mark."
Blatter's reaction at the Fifa congress after seven officials were arrested on charges of receiving bribes, May 2015.
"I forgive everyone but I don't forget. We cannot live without Uefa and Uefa cannot live without us."
Blatter's response to Swiss television after Uefa president Michel Platini refused to rule out a World Cup boycott in the event of his Fifa counterpart's re-election, May 2015. | On Sepp Blatter's judgement day it was only fitting that the Fifa president signed off with the line "I'll be back". | 32942104 | [

If you have eaten a handful of spicy chicken wings in Angola recently or perhaps polished off a lemony "yassa poulet" in Senegal, there is a good chance your chicken travelled some distance before finding its way on to your plate.
It depends where you live in Africa, but chickens are increasingly migrating - in freezers - from Brazil, Germany or other European Union countries to the continent.
Imports of chicken to sub-Saharan Africa tripled between 2004 and 2014, according to figures from the US Department of Agriculture.
Here's a look at reasons behind the huge increase and what can be done to help fatten up the continent's poultry industry - in four points:
1) Why chickens not cows?
Africa has a growing population, which is projected to double to 2.5 billion by 2050, and with that has come an increased demand for the consumption of meat, of one variety in particular.
"Chicken is the first choice of meat for most Africans," says Kevin Lovell, chief executive of the South Africa Poultry Association.
The higher cost of beef and some of the religious restrictions around pork in parts of Africa help explain the preference for chicken, he says.
As more people move to the city, their dietary patterns begin to change and they are more likely to choose meat from a local fast food joint, or one of the global chains that have proliferated across the continent in recent years.
The fast-food chain Kentucky Fried Chicken now has more than 700 outlets in Africa, operating in 13 countries.
"The production of meat has not caught up with the demand... driven both by the rise in the population but also by the urbanisation phenomenon," explains Calestous Juma, a professor of International Development at Harvard University.
And the growth really is phenomenal. By 2030, 50% of Africans, numbering more than half a billion, are expected to be living in cities, up from 36% in 2010, according to World Bank estimates.
2) Hungry birds
Many Africans will be familiar with the "road runner" chicken, which can often be found in the backyard roaming freely.
These birds tend to feed themselves and are known for being tough but tasty.
As a means to feed the family or make a small income these low-input birds tend to do the job.
However, when it comes to intensive farming, a steady supply of chicken feed which is made up of maize and soya is vital.
But weak agricultural systems in Africa mean that feed often has to be imported at a high cost, hampering farmers' efforts to ramp up their grain production.
Napoleon Oduro, is a Ghanaian poultry and egg farmer with a 500-bird farm, a few hours outside of the capital Accra.
He tells me that the imported feed he relies on costs him $25 (£20) for a bag of 50kg (110 lb).
And with each bird eating about 2.5kg of feed per month, he says costs can quickly become prohibitive.
3) Breeding a "super chicken"
It is not just the high cost of feed, but the fact that most African chickens need more of it than their fellow birds in developed markets.
African farmers do not have the same access to broiler chickens, birds which are specifically bred and raised for meat consumption.
"Many agencies that work in Africa try to come up with what they call locally adapted breeds but it is always a half answer because those birds will never convert animal feed into food as efficiently as the modern improved Western breeds," says Mr Lovell.
Prof Juma puts this down to a lack of research facilities, which makes it harder to support breeding programmes on the continent.
He cites Kenya, where about 80% of the poultry production is based on less productive traditional breeds, as a prime example of the problem.
However, there is some good news on this front.
The African Chicken Genetic Gains project is on a mission to bring "more productive chickens to African smallholders".
Led by the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI), and backed by the deep pockets of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, it aims to improve the genetic makeup of African chickens.
The initiative, which is initially being rolled out in Ethiopia, Nigeria and Tanzania is part of what the Microsoft founder has called his "big bet" on chickens, which also includes a promise to donate 100,000 of the birds to families and communities in the world's poorest nations.
Top tips from African chicken farmers:
"I started off seven years ago with 400 broilers and 300 layers but I realised that maintaining broilers was more expensive. Raising feed is also tough, my chickens can consume 300kg of food a day! But from my business I sent my three kids to school and bought a car.
Tip: "If you want to start small, start with broilers, they are cheaper and in six weeks you will be selling. And if you are rearing broilers and layers ensure they are kept separately."
"Finding a market is a challenge, there are big international companies that flood the market with cheap chickens and stifle local farmers from growing. The cost for feed is high and occasionally thieves break into my pens."
Tip:"You can sell your chickens at four weeks, but it is better to wait for six weeks, the meat is better, the chickens heavier."
"My local chickens get attacked by eagles and diseases regularly. Getting treatment is not easy. Poor rainfall makes it hard to grow feed. It is available for sale but expensive. But from my business I have sent my two boys to college and two girls to secondary school."
Tip: "To protect your chicks from eagles I dye them sky blue to disguise them."
"In 2011 I started with 50,000 chickens, my farm has now grown to a company that employs not less than 400 people. We face many challenges - banks are not interested in lending and with the credit crunch, costs for raw materials for our feed have almost doubled."
Tip: "Be ready to spend more on chicks from reputable hatchery even if your neighbour's farm is selling cheap chicks."
4) Import dilemma
One of the major obstacles for farmers in Africa is the flood of imports from Brazil, Europe and the US.
Those working in the African poultry sector put this down to a preference for white meat in Western countries.
"In Europe, in particular most people want to eat breast meat and they will pay a lot more for breast meat in a supermarket than they would for dark meat [wings, thighs and legs] and that difference allows the company to make a profit and sell the dark meat for less than it costs to produce it," says Mr Lovell.
"When it gets to South Africa, Ghana, Angola or wherever else in Africa, that causes a problem because the local farmers can't compete."
In an attempt to bolster local production, various governments across Africa, including those of Botswana, Nigeria, Namibia and Swaziland, have attempted to address the issue by imposing import restrictions.
Botswana, with more than three decades of strong import restrictions on poultry behind it, now produces enough chickens to feed its own people.
But it also has the most expensive frozen chicken in the region, according to recent research, with critics calling for the government to open up market up to competition to bring prices down.
Mr Oduro has the same problem over prices: "Customers will say that what we produce here in Ghana is expensive as compared to the imported chicken."
But the Ghanaian farmer criticises the government for a lack of intervention, saying that it has failed to invest and support his sector for many years.
"We are not against imports, we are crying for a policy that will make the Ghanaian farmer competitive."

Noah Zunde, who was 22 months old, succumbed to heatstroke after being left in the car for seven hours.
His mother, Romy Zunde, had mistakenly believed she dropped Noah at childcare, the Coroners Court of Victoria heard.
Ms Zunde was sleep-deprived, stressed and dealing with a change in routine before the tragedy, the court was told.
Police did not lay charges. A coronial lawyer recommended that Ms Zunde should not be held criminally responsible.
The inquest into the death in the Victorian town of Kyneton in 2015 is investigating ways to prevent similar incidents.
A psychologist told the inquest he believed Ms Zunde suffered a memory lapse called "forgotten baby syndrome".
"If you are capable of forgetting to post a letter, you are capable of forgetting to take your baby out of the car," said Matthew Mundy, an associate professor at Monash University.
"Your memory is limited, it's limited in the number of things you can remember at any given time, and it's limited in the amount of time you can remember a thing for.
"Your brain at the neural level doesn't discriminate between [posting] a letter, a baby or remembering to pick up your mobile phone".
In his opinion the lapse could happen to anyone, he said.
Noah is one of five children within 10 years who have died in Victoria after being left inside a vehicle.
The court was told sensors installed in some cars in the United States alerted parents to the presence of children.
Coroner Sara Hinchey will hand down her findings at a later date. | A mother was suffering from "forgotten baby syndrome" when her young son died in a hot car, an Australian inquest has heard. | 39335376 | [

Russia's foreign ministry condemned the "atrocious crimes of extremists".
Sunday's attacks hit the Shia shrine of Sayyida Zeinab, south of Syria's capital Damascus, and the city of Homs.
So-called Islamic State (IS) said it carried out the attacks. Both targeted areas dominated by Islamic minorities reviled by IS.
Four blasts in Sayyida Zeinab killed at least 83 people, according to state media. A monitoring group reported that 57 people, mainly civilians, were killed in a double car bombing in Homs.
The UK-based activist group Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) put the toll from the Damascus attacks at 120 and said they were among the deadliest to occur during the whole of Syria's civil war.
SOHR also reported on Monday that heavy fighting had cut off the government's only supply route to the northern city of Aleppo.
IS and other Islamist militia had cut the road between Aleppo and the town of Khanasser to the south-east, it said.
More than 250,000 Syrians have been killed in the conflict.
Some 11 million others have been forced from their homes, of whom four million have fled abroad - including growing numbers who are making the dangerous journey to Europe.
History of the conflict - how the civil war has spread
Maps of the conflict - the shifting territorial gains
The Sayyida Zeinab district is the location of Syria's holiest Shia Muslim shrine, said to contain the grave of the Prophet Muhammad's granddaughter.
The district was hit by suicide attacks last month that left 71 people dead and which IS fighters also said they had carried out.
On Sunday US Secretary of State John Kerry said a "provisional agreement" had been reached with Russia on a partial truce.
However he admitted issues remained to be resolved and said he did not expect any immediate change on the ground.
Earlier this month, world powers involved in the crisis in Syria agreed to seek a "cessation of hostilities", but the Friday deadline came and went.
In Homs, the blasts happened in a predominantly Alawite district, the sect to which President Bashar al-Assad belongs.
One of the early centres of the uprising against President Assad, Homs was once dubbed the "capital of the revolution".
But rebels left the city late last year under a ceasefire deal, leaving the city in government hands.
The latest blasts came as President Bashar al-Assad told reporters Syrian refugees should not be scared of returning home.
Mr Assad, who has long been accused of persecuting his own people, said ordinary Syrians who had fled the conflict due to the "standard of living that has been deteriorating drastically" could go back without fear of action by the government. | Russia has said bomb attacks which killed at least 140 people in Syria were aimed at "subverting attempts" to reach a political settlement. | 35628815 | [

Women at risk of birthing complications are to be taken to Raigmore Hospital in Inverness, about 102 miles from Wick, under the proposal.
The move which will see the withdrawal of consultant obstetrics was agreed on grounds of safety, the board said.
However, the change is opposed by a local campaign.
A number of campaigners travelled from Caithness to stage a demonstration outside the board's meeting in Inverness.
The CMU setup could be in place by April next year.
Chiefs at NHS Highland said the health board already operated seven CMUs and has "a lot of experience" of this type of care.
The maternity unit at Caithness General is currently led by consultant obstetricians, but it has no facilities for on-site specialist neonatal paediatric support or adult intensive care.
NHS Highland has said that the majority of births at the hospital can be handled by midwives only.
Internal and external reviews of services at Wick support the need for the planned changes, the health board said.
Five newborn babies have died at the hospital since 2010. An external review and report suggested that at least two were "potentially avoidable".
Dr Rod Harvey, NHS Highland's medical director, said the midwife-led unit would be able to identify problems in pregnancies at an early stage, allowing preparations to be made to provide care to mothers and their babies.
He told BBC Radio Scotland that pregnant women who had to be transferred would be moved in a "calm and collected way".
Dr Harvey said: "We are not looking for women to be transferred in large numbers in emergency ambulances. Clearly that will occasionally occur and that facility has to be available.
"What we are looking to do is transfer women ideally before they go into labour, or in the very earliest stages of labour when there is still plenty of time, and to avoid ambulance emergency transfers.
"We know that is a very successful model. We have got seven other Community Midwife Units in other parts of the Highlands, so we have got a lot of experience of this type of care."
However, it has been claimed that mothers living in Caithness are considering not having more children because of planned changes to maternity services, it has been claimed.
Bill Fernie, a Highland councillor for Wick, said he knows of young mothers "seriously thinking about limiting their families".
He said people in the local community regard the health board's proposed changes to a years-long set up as a further downgrading of health services in the Far North.
Mr Fernie told BBC Radio Scotland: "Certainly no-one wants to see anything unsafe, but if it is so unsafe why has very little if anything be done in the last 11 years to sort this out?
"Now they come forward and all they can suggest is another downgrading.
"They cannot guarantee there will be no deaths in coming years just because they have removed the consultants and have a midwife-only led unit.
"Some young mothers are seriously thinking about limiting their families and not having any more children if they have to have the service they have got lined up for Caithness."
He added: "I think that is a major issue when we are already struggling to keep our population up." | The board of NHS Highland has approved a plan to set up maternity services at Caithness General in Wick as a Community Midwife Unit (CMU). | 38141972 | [

Wales' first major tournament appearance in 58 years sees them draw in the same group as England with the two nations meeting on 16 June in Lens.
The 18-year-old was named in England's squad three months after making his Manchester United debut.
"I'm not surprised, I've watched him a lot and he is a class act," he said.
Coleman, who opted to pick Joe Ledley in his 23 man squad despite him suffering a broken leg on 7 May, says it is difficult to predict how Rashford will perform under the pressure of a major tournament.
"Some players go into the tournament on fire and they fall flat," he said.
"You see others come from nowhere, like (Salvatore) Schillaci for Italy in the 1990 World Cup and bang the goals in.
"It is hard to call it. Ability-wise, he is a good player, and has a real good mentality.
"I couldn't say what to expect. As soon as he's there he will have to adjust, as we all will."
Coleman, who signed a new two year deal to remain as Wales boss in May, believes star striker Gareth Bale has a key role to play in removing Wales' pre-Euro 2016 complacency.
Bale joins up with the Wales squad on Wednesday morning after winning his second Champions League title in three seasons at Real Madrid.
The world's most expensive player marked Real's success in Milan on Saturday night by saying he was now planning to win the Euros with Wales.
"I thought 'cheers for that, a semi-final just will not do'," Coleman said. "That is the mentality we want. The mentality of achievement.
"Since we qualified if you look at our results it is nothing to shout about."
Wales have lost friendlies against the Netherlands and Ukraine and drawn with Northern Ireland since their last qualification victory, against Andorra.
"We went through a run of results where we were almost unbeatable, but we have tailed off a bit," he continued.
"I'm not making any excuses - we haven't had this one, we haven't had that one.
"It's international football, you get on with it, but sometimes with success comes a little bit of complacency.
"Subconsciously sometimes, but we are our best when we are right on it." | Wales manager Chris Coleman says he is not surprised that counterpart Roy Hodgson has opted to take teenager Marcus Rashford to the Euros. | 36421575 | [

Mr Bich, who is of Vietnamese origin, shot to fame last week over his complaint that his account had been shut down because Facebook considered his name fake or misleading.
The post dated back to January, but received hundreds of thousands of likes late last week.
Mr Bich said he hoped he had "played a part in brightening your days".
His name when properly pronounced in Vietnamese, which is a tonal language, sounds like "Phoo Da Bi", and is relatively common in Vietnam.
Mr Phuc originally posted his complaint on 28 January, accompanied with his passport photo, saying: "I find it highly irritating the fact that nobody seems to believe me when I say that my full legal name is how you see it.
"I've been accused of using a false and misleading name of which I find very offensive," the 23-year-old bank worker wrote.
"Is it because I'm Asian? Is it?"
Thousands of people left comments on his post, with some advising him to change his name. Others, however, left encouraging messages. It was picked up around the world.
On Sunday night, Mr Phuc wrote a new post saying he was "very grateful to those who have been supportive of certain names that populate in different cultures."
"We live in a diverse and multicultural society and the fact that there are people out there who are supportive and encouraging really makes me happy," Mr Phuc wrote.
"I am glad and honoured to be able to make people happy by simply making them laugh at something that appears outrageous and ridiculous."
Facebook has not commented directly on Mr Bich's case, but its policy on usernames state that people "provide the name they use in real life" for safety reasons, and that it "should be your authentic identity; as your friends call you in real life and as our acceptable identification forms would show", such as passports.
Among other things it asks users to refrain from using "offensive or suggestive words of any kind" in their Facebook names. | An Australian man, Phuc Dat Bich, has said he is glad his fight to use his name on Facebook has made people happy. | 34897404 | [

In only his second season with Porsche, Webber and his two team-mates, German Timo Bernhard and New Zealander Brendon Hartley, need a fourth-place finish or better in the 6 Hours of Bahrain on Saturday to complete a remarkable run of success for car number 17.
Winners of the last four races, they were runners-up at the previous event in June and took third at Spa in the race before that in May.
Webber, 39, cannot remember such a hot streak of form beyond his days in junior categories and admits he never expected to be in contention so quickly at this stage of his return to sportscars.
"I'm very surprised we're in this position," he said. "We had a few tough races at the start of the championship and now here we are in Bahrain ready to close the championship off hopefully.
"It started in an incredible June where we got two cars home at Le Mans and had a 1-2 against Audi.
"Since then we have won every race and I don't think we envisaged that - the aggressive mentality of the F1 approach."
Not surprisingly, after his 12 years at the highest level of single-seater, open-wheel competition, Webber draws heavily on his experience of fighting against the likes of Lewis Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel and Fernando Alonso, the other contenders for the 2010 title at the final race of that season in Abu Dhabi.
He learnt the hard way on that occasion, finishing eighth behind his three rivals and third overall in the championship. This time he aims to make amends.
"Being a professional for so long, you have the ability to deal with the emotions and really pull it right back and just keep the basics in order, and that's what we've got to try to do," said Webber.
"Having the scenarios played out if we've got things we need to deal with - are we rehearsed, are we practised, are we ready to go?
"We don't want any what ifs, any 'woulda, coulda, shoulda' at 10pm on Saturday night."

Webber's challenge in 2010 was complicated by his acrimonious relationship with Red Bull team-mate Vettel.
The German profited most from the Australian's problems with backmarkers under the lights at Yas Marina by winning the race and the championship.
The team dynamic within the three-man Porsche 919 Hybrid line-up is noticeably more harmonious.
"You have to be super, super open with each other in terms of communication, in terms of getting the best out of each other, the little strengths and weaknesses of each other in terms of corners you like, what type of tracks you like, what type of conditions do you like and even how the car develops," he revealed.
"We've got a young bright-eyed and bushytailed youngster in Brendon Hartley, Timo Bernhard is super experienced in this category and then myself with a lot of experience.
"We try to make the sure the car doesn't know who's in the car, which driver is in. The car has to be very benign, so we can use it."
In his recent autobiography, Webber was critical of the way Red Bull allowed his partnership with Vettel to disintegrate following a series of incidents in 2010 and beyond.
It's a marked contrast to his views on his current set-up where he believes his F1 experiences have contributed to Porsche's surge to the head of the field.
"To put together this campaign with a great bunch of guys, I have felt pretty instrumental in it and I suppose that's as rewarding as other grand prix wins because I've had a bit more impact here in trying to help.
"It's a big, big team and everyone's done a great job but it's been really nice to have been able to help behind the scenes and if we can put the icing on the cake it'll be a really, really nice feather in my cap."
Webber and his team-mates lead the Audi trio of Switzerland's Marcel Fassler, Germany's Andre Lotterer and France's Benoit Treluyer by 13 points.
They extended their advantage by an extra point on Friday after Bernhard and Hartley secured their fifth pole position of the season at the Sakhir track.
The circuit where the wind blows off the desert and makes tyre performance even more critical is not one of Webber's favourites. Last year's third place with Porsche was his best in 11 races here.
"We're in good shape, very confident we can have my best result here ever and then if that's enough - and that will be enough if I'm on the podium steps - then it'll a very, very long night on Saturday."
And if he does become world champion for the first time in his 21 years in motorsport, will it rank as his finest achievement?
"It would certainly be right up there, mate. It's not easy to win a grand prix and it's not easy to do what we've done here.
"My biggest, biggest achievement to put together this championship with the other guys…?"
His pause before delivering a classic Webber line says it all.
"We'll certainly give it a good shake, yeah."
After the anti-climax in one Middle Eastern kingdom on 14 November 2010, Webber has atonement in his sights on 21 November 2015 in another. | Almost exactly five years after Mark Webber lost his best chance of becoming Formula 1 world champion, the Australian is on the brink of fulfilling his title dream in the World Endurance Championship this weekend in Bahrain. | 34884952 | [

Rachel Morris led GB's rowing success with arms-shoulders single sculls gold.
Lauren Rowles and Laurence Whiteley won the trunk-and-arms mixed double sculls and the mixed coxed four added a third gold for ParalympicsGB.
In track cycling, Lora Turnham won the B 3km individual pursuit and the men's C1-5 team claimed sprint gold in a world record time.
Compatriot Neil Fachie won cycling B 1km time trial silver, with Sophie Thornhill, gold medallist in the 1km time trial on Friday, and her pilot Helen Scott taking bronze in the B 3km pursuit.
There were British triathlon silvers for Lauren Steadman in the PT4 and Alison Patrick in the PT5, with Melissa Reid taking bronze in the same event.
GB's Tom Aggar won bronze in the men's arms-shoulders single sculls.
The four rowing medals were won within an hour on the Lagoa water in Rio and Great Britain have now claimed 20 gold medals and 46 overall to sit second in the medal table behind China.
Morris, who had both legs amputated because of complex regional pain syndrome, finished ahead of China's Lili Wang, while Israel's Moran Samuel took bronze.
The Welsh competitor switched to rowing in 2013 and now has three Paralympic medals across two sports, adding to the hand-cycling time trial gold she won in Beijing in 2008 and bronze at London 2012.
"That was the hardest thing I've ever done," she said. "It just goes to show if you have stuff drilled into you every day by the coaches and you do it you can win."
The pairing of Whiteley and Rowles was only created last year, when 18-year-old Rowles switched from wheelchair racing to rowing.
The duo won silver at last year's World Championships and in Rio beat the silver medal-winning pair from China and the third-placed French team to add a Paralympic title to their collection.
James Fox, Pam Relph, Dan Brown and Grace Clough, along with cox Oliver James, defended Great Britain's gold from London 2012 in the mixed coxed four, finishing ahead of the USA and Canada.
GB have dominated this event in recent years, taking gold at the past three World Championships - although only Relph, 26, remains from the boat that prevailed in London four years ago.
"It feels amazing. Coming through that last 250 metres I knew that we had won it," said Relph.
"We knew we were fitter, stronger and faster than our rivals but we still had to deliver."

Turnham, 26, who has a hereditary sight-loss condition, teamed up with her pilot Corrine Hall to beat New Zealand's Emma Foy to improve on her fourth place at London 2012 and bronze at the World Championships.
Jody Cundy, who won gold in the 1,000m time trial on Friday, Jon-Allan Butterworth and Louis Rolfe, bronze medallist in the C2 3,000m pursuit, beat their own world record, set in qualifying, to take team sprint gold.
The trio clocked a winning time of 48.635 seconds to beat China by 1.279secs.
It was Cundy's seventh Paralympic title across both swimming and Para-cycling and his second in Rio following his disastrous disqualification in the time trial at London 2012.
"After four years ago and being the lowest I've ever been this is probably the highest I've ever been," said the 37-year-old.
"I was properly nervous for the kilo, I didn't really enjoy it that much. But this one, with these two guys, and the way they have been riding in the last couple of months, it's a pleasure to get up there and perform."
London 2012 gold medallist Fachie, who has a congenital eye condition, and his pilot Pete Mitchell finished 0.419 seconds behind gold medallist Tristan Bangma of the Netherlands in the B 1km time trial.
Britain had high hopes of bolstering their gold tally in the Para-triathlon, with the event included at a Games for the first time.
But Andy Lewis' PT2 gold on Saturday will be GB's only gold, although the women added two silvers and a bronze.
Steadman, who was born without a lower right arm, had been favourite to add a Paralympic title to her 2013 and 2014 world crowns.
But the 23-year-old former swimmer from Peterborough lost out to the USA's Grace Norman by one minute and four seconds.
In the PT5 classification for visually impaired athletes, world champion Patrick, with her guide Hazel Smith, and world bronze medallist Reid, with her guide Nicole Walters, finished second and third respectively behind Katie Kelly of Australia.
Britain's Bethany Firth and Jessica-Jane Applegate will take their 200m freestyle S14 rivalry into Sunday's final (22:37 BST).

Tom Hamer set a Paralympic record of 1:57.31 in the 200m freestyle S14 heats and Rebecca Redfearn followed suit in the 100m breaststroke SB13 with a time of 1:17.08.
Their finals are at 22:29 BST and the 22:09 BST respectively on Sunday.

The man, who was in his 20s, was rescued by a volunteer crew from Bangor RNLI.
The lifeboat's operations manager said medical personnel told him the man could have died if he had remained in the water for another five minutes.
The alarm was raised by Mark Pollock, who was working in Banks Car Park.
Hearing faint shouts, he initially thought it was someone calling for their dog, but kept looking until he realised there was someone in the sea.
He then called the Coastguard.
Bangor RNLI's helmsman James Gillespie said when they arrived "the early morning light made it difficult to see, but fortunately the water was flat calm, and on scanning the area I saw a slight movement as the casualty raised his hand".
Another crew member, Johnny Gedge, entered and helped the man, who was only just conscious, until he could be lifted on board.
Mr Gillespie said: "Our extensive training in casualty care is invaluable at a time like this.
"Because of this, we know the importance of not trying to warm the patient too quickly, as this can cause cardiac arrest.
"Instead, we made the patient safe, and prevented further cooling, and returned as quickly and safely as we could to the lifeboat station where an ambulance and paramedics were waiting to take over."
The rescued man was wearing only tracksuit bottoms, a t-shirt and socks. It is not clear why he was in the water.
"I am just delighted that I heard his calls, and hope he makes a full recovery," Mr Pollock said. | A man has been rescued from the sea 200 metres off the coast at Ballyholme Bay, near Bangor, after a man working nearby heard shouts and called the Coastguard. | 38449515 | [

McCann is "delighted" with the seven new faces he has signed in recent weeks, but admits it has been tough.
"Identifying guys has been hard as the club really doesn't have any recruitment system behind it," he said.
"It's something I'll be speaking to our managing director, John Nelms, about because it's so important."
Facing his first full season as Dundee boss, McCann says recruitment is "top of the list of priorities" for any manager and he is hoping to makes strides in that area ahead of the January transfer window.
"We need help," he added. "We've been chasing our tails a bit this time. We need a database so that come January, if we want to strengthen, we have a list we can choose from rather than running about crazy 24 hours a day taking calls, looking on Wyscout, looking at games."
Despite the difficulty, Dundee have managed to sign striker Sofien Moussa, midfielder Glen Kamara, defender Jack Hendry, winger Randy Wolters, midfielder Roarie Deacon and striker Rory Loy.
Midfielder Scott Allan has also moved to Dens Park on a season-long loan from Celtic.
"It's been a real team effort between the staff this summer," McCann said. "We've all mucked in and done our homework.
"You wouldn't believe the number of hours that have been put into recruitment. It's been extensive.
"I'm delighted with the guys we've brought in. They offer us something we didn't have. We have two different types now in a lot of key positions."
McCann hopes recent recruit Moussa will receive clearance to complete his move before Tuesday's League Cup match away to Raith Rovers.
Dundee were knocked out of the competition at the group stage last season and McCann, who took over in April and was named permanent manager in June, is determined to avoid a repeat.
"I don't want to use these games as a warm-up," he said. "It's important that we start building a winning mentality from the first game of the season - starting on Tuesday.
"I don't think you can go into the season half-cocked.
"We will give every team we face the same respect we'd show Rangers or Celtic. We will be ready." | Dundee manager Neil McCann wants to improve the club's scouting network after a difficult summer of trying to bring in players. | 40635626 | [

Drivers face being given six penalty points on their licence rather than three, and a £200 fine instead of £100.
But figures obtained by BBC Radio Wales showed 166 motorists were stopped by police for using their phones in March - up from 137 in February.
The Handsoff campaign said driving and using a phone is a "lethal cocktail".
The changes to the law, introduced on 1 March, mean new drivers caught using a mobile phone face losing their licence, and more experienced drivers can be banned if they get 12 points in three years.
Lucy Amos, from road safety charity Brake, said: "Mobile phone use behind the wheel is a growing menace and it's time we got tough with those who break the law.
"These drivers are putting their own and other people's lives in grave danger.
"As a charity that supports bereaved and seriously injured road crash victims we know only too well the devastation and heartbreak caused by distracted drivers and have been campaigning on this issue for a number of years.
"We would also like to see a total ban on phone use as even using hands-free increases your likelihood of being involved in a crash. It's the distraction of the conversation that's the main danger."
She added mobile phone use should be as big a taboo as drink driving.
A spokesman for Mobile UK, the trade association for the UK's mobile operators, told the Jason Mohammad programme the UK government had been taking the lead on action to tackle the issue.
"Mobile UK and mobile operators have been supportive of the measures that respective governments have been doing to reduce hand-held mobile phone use in vehicles but government have very much been taking the lead," he said.
BBC Wales also contacted mobile phone networks EE, Vodafone, O2 and Three.
A spokesman for Vodafone said: "Mobiles and driving don't go together... texting while driving is never acceptable." | The number of Welsh motorists caught using their mobile phones went up in March, despite the introduction of harsher penalties. | 39967368 | [

Farmers, conservationists and the RSPB have worked together to preserve the breeding habitat in fields that has helped the stone curlew survive.
The birds, which winter in Africa, return to Breckland farms in April.
Fields have been specially ploughed for birds to get at worms and insects while plants that attract them line edges.
Those involved in the conservation programme met in Thetford on Friday to celebrate and welcome the arrival back of the birds.
Breeding pair numbers have almost trebled and the RSPB has described the project as pioneering.

John Lamont quit the Ettrick, Roxburgh and Berwickshire constituency seat to fight for a place at Westminster, hoping to unseat the SNP's Calum Kerr.
The Conservative MSP formally resigned from the seat as of 13:00 on Thursday.
The by-election means residents in the area will vote on their local council, their Holyrood representative and their MP all inside five weeks.
Selection procedures for the Holyrood by-election have yet to get under way.
Presiding Officer Ken Macintosh has written to Tracey Logan, chief executive of Scottish Borders Council and returning officer for the elections, to confirm his choice of date and to ask for arrangements for the by-election to be put in place.
Mr Lamont is seeking to unseat the SNP's Calum Kerr in Berwickshire, Roxburgh and Selkirk, Scotland's most marginal Westminster constituency. Mr Kerr gained the seat from Lib Dem former Scottish Secretary Michael Moore in 2015 by a margin of 328 votes.
The Lib Dems have put forward Catriona Bhatia, currently deputy leader of the council, as their candidate for the Westminster poll. | A Holyrood by-election is to be held on the same day as the UK's snap general election on 8 June. | 39736569 | [

The 1.8-tonne British bomb was found during construction work. Defusing it is expected to take most of the day.
It will be Germany's biggest post-war evacuation for an unexploded bomb, Spiegel news reports. In 2011, 45,000 residents of Koblenz were evacuated.
On Sunday there will be little traffic, making the Augsburg job easier.
The evacuation will start at 08:00 local time (07:00 GMT) and could continue into the night, the local news website Augsburger Allgemeine says.
The operation will affect 32,000 households living within a 1.5km (0.9 mile) radius of the bomb site. Schools, sports halls and an exhibition centre will accommodate the evacuees.
Augsburg is about 80km (50 miles) north-west of Munich. It was heavily bombed during the war.
From 1942 to 1945, the Royal Air Force and US bombers carried out massive raids on German cities, often round-the-clock, designed to sap the strength of the Nazi war machine. | The authorities in Augsburg, southern Germany, plan to evacuate 54,000 people from the city centre on Christmas Day because of a World War Two bomb. | 38406965 | [

Now in his 60s, Othman and fellow villagers in the town of Wana, 22 miles (35km) north-east of Mosul, still depend on the dam as a vital source of water and irrigation for his crops.
"Life is water," said Othman, who is proud of his Kurdish roots, adding that his ancestors have lived in Wana for the last 800 years.
Sitting on an earth mound on the edge of his field, and puffing on a cigarette, he said his family had been uprooted from the town just once, when militants from the so-called Islamic State (IS) captured Mosul Dam and Wana in August 2014.
IS extremists were forced to retreat from the dam after 11 days, and from a number of surrounding villages, following US-led air strikes and a ground offensive by Kurdish Peshmerga forces.
Dressed in traditional Kurdish clothes and speaking in broken Arabic, Othman said: "We can't imagine what life would be like if we had to leave our houses again this time under the threat of the potential collapse of the dam."
Inaugurated in 1984 during the era of Saddam Hussein, the dam today is falling into disrepair as a result of neglect over the past 18 months after the Kurds wrested it back from IS.
Budget shortfalls due to the slump in oil prices and political rivalry between the central government in Baghdad and the regional government of the semi-autonomous Iraq Kurdistan have hampered urgently needed repairs.
There is also a desperate shortage of workers. Half the workforce has left the dam for other jobs on account of not being paid for up to five months.
We had special access inside the dam's labyrinth of tunnels to see the urgent problems first-hand.
Outdated machinery is still being used to try to stabilise the dam's foundations.
The dam's deputy director, Mohsen Yaqoub, showed us samples of soil that had suffered erosion.
"These black parts are the treated cement used to inject into the holes and fractures created by the water that constantly eats away at the unstable foundation of the dam," he said.
"The dam is today in danger because of the erosion at the natural gypsum base under the water and serious erosion at the flow gates.
"The joints at the two main gates have been dislocated vertically and horizontally, which could lead to the collapse of the dam but we don't know when. It could happen next month, next year or in five years' time. We actually don't know when."
The Iraqi government has been struggling for more than two years to strike a deal with an international company to undertake the much-needed repair works.
Insecurity is scaring away bidders and the economic crisis has forced the oil-rich country to seek help from the World Bank and key allies like the United States.
"We just have empty promises from the international community to repair the dam," said Mr Yaqoub, who was previously an engineer at the site for 28 years.
"I met the American advisers and took them in a tour inside the dam. They were just nodding at my detailed scientific explanation of the dangers and the efforts made by us to protect the structure."
Mosul and other northern cities in the path of the river would be vulnerable if the dam fails. At present, locals say they are not aware of any emergency warning systems to deal with a potential catastrophe in waiting.
And if this dam collapsed, it would cause massive devastation to entire communities along the Tigris River.
Cities such as Mosul, Tikrit, Samarra and even down to the capital Baghdad are the most vulnerable. Massive floods could kill and render homeless hundreds of thousands, the US state department has warned.
Asked what he would do if the dam fails, 22-year-old shepherd Amin Jabouri, who tends his flocks close by, had an immediate response.
"We have no other option but to head for a higher ground. Even if there was an alarm system, it would not work for us and we would have to run for our lives." | Othman Mahmoud al-Barazinj is a farmer who has been living in the shadow of Iraq's largest dam ever since the colossal facility was established in the 1980s. | 35351888 | [

Walmart will give JD.com ownership of Yihaodian's marketplace, including the brand, website and app.
In exchange Walmart will take a near 5% stake in JD.com, China's second largest e-commerce firm after Alibaba.
Walmart took full control of Yihaodian last year, but has struggled to grow its market share.
"We're excited about teaming up with such a strong leader in JD.com, and the potential that this new relationship creates for customers in China, as well as for our businesses," said Walmart chief executive Doug McMillon.
Walmart will be listed as a preferred seller on JD.com, offering it greater exposure to the Chinese market.
Walmart's Sam's Club brand will launch a shop on JD.com's website.
The deal will also help grow Yihaodian in the western and northern regions of the country where it is less well-known.
"We look forward to further developing Yihaodian, which has tremendous strength in important regions of eastern and southern China," said JD.com chief executive Richard Liu.
Yihaodian's sale of food and beverages, home goods and electronics accounts for just 1.5% of web sales in China, according to research firm iResearch
According to Walmart, the website had more than 100 million registered customers in July 2015.
The two companies also announced plans to improve supply chain management and increase the amount of imported goods. | Walmart has announced a partnership with the Chinese e-commerce firm JD.com to help revive the US company's struggling website Yihaodian. | 36581743 | [

After beating France 19-10, Wales have two wins and a draw as they travel to face unbeaten England at Twickenham in round four.
But the style of their fifth consecutive win over the French has been criticised in some quarters.
"It's a bit baffling, but it is Wales isn't it, it [the reaction] does happen doesn't it?" said Jenkins.
"I'm not going to lie, it was a funny feeling after the game - but we've just won a test match and we've beaten France, five times on the bounce.
"The most important thing for us to keep doing what we're doing, keep trying to improve, keep winning if we can- that's the be-all and end-all isn't it?"
The victory over France was Wales' seventh consecutive Six Nations match without defeat.
Kicking coach Jenkins, Wales' record points scorer, was a member of a Wales team that endured a 51-0 hammering against France in 1998.
And between 1982 and 1993 France won 12 consecutive internationals against Wales.
But even captain Sam Warburton admitted that Friday's win was a not the most exciting.
"I remember thinking on the pitch 'the fans are going to start a Mexican wave in a minute - it's pretty boring'," he said.
The flanker believes the best is still to come from his side, who face unbeaten England at Twickenham on 12 March.
Ospreys scrum-half Rhys Webb, who was first-choice in the 2015 Six Nations, could be called up for training next week.
Webb missed the World Cup and the start of the current campaign with a foot injury.
His replacement for Wales, Scarlet Gareth Davies has scored six international tries this season.
Webb scored a try in his first start for Ospreys this season in Connacht and is set for another appearance away to Leinster on Saturday.
"Rhys is a quality player, ideally (he'll get) some more game-time this week and I think they'll re-assess from there. If he can get up and running, he's surely going to be there or thereabouts for us," Jenkins told BBC Wales Sport.
"I'm not saying (he could be in the squad) against England, but he could well come into the equation in terms of the wider squad."
Wales do not yet know whether lock Luke Charteris will recover from a knee injury in time to play for Racing 92 against Agen on Saturday, or to be back in contention for the England game.
Meanwhile, Jenkins has defended Wales's achievements in the Six Nations, as they head to Twickenham still unbeaten. | Neil Jenkins says he is baffled by some of the criticism of his team's style in the Six Nations. | 35698210 | [

Tennant was the 10th Doctor and Piper played his on-screen companion Rose Tyler in the BBC One show.
Filming on the show, which will also star John Hurt, will start next week.
Tennant's successor, Matt Smith - also in the special with his new assistant played by Jenna-Louise Coleman - says fans "will not be disappointed" by the 3D show, due to air on 23 November.
Tennant and Piper have long been rumoured to be making a return for the special, which is being written by the show's executive producer and lead writer Steven Moffat.
In January, Piper, appearing on the Graham Norton show, denied she would be appearing.
"I wasn't asked, no," she said.
"I think Matt Smith may have said, in passing or in jest, it would be nice.
"I think maybe he said that and then it became something quite different, but no."
Smith has said the show "manages to pay homage to everything - and look forward".
"I read it and I clapped at the end. I think it's hilarious, it's epic and it's vast," he said.
Moffat, meanwhile, has said he took special care to protect the secrets of the story.
"One length I've gone to which is a really good security measure - I make sure I don't get a script, because I will lose it," he said.
"I forbid people to hand me one. It's on my computer under lock and key."
The first story of Doctor Who's 2013 run, The Bells of Saint John - described by Moffat as a "proper London thriller" - was screened on Saturday.
Viewers saw the Doctor and new companion, Clara, played by Coleman, battling an evil entity in the world's wi-fi networks.
Future episodes of the show, which is filmed in Cardiff, see the return of the Cybermen and old enemy the Ice Warriors, who last appeared during the Jon Pertwee era in 1974.
Tennant starred in Doctor Who from 2005 to 2010 while Piper first appeared in 2005 opposite Christopher Eccleston, who played the ninth Doctor.
She left the show in 2006 but returned for a number of episodes in 2008 as well as for Tennant's final episode, broadcast on 1 January 2010.
The first episode of Doctor Who, An Unearthly Child, starring William Hartnell as the Timelord, was broadcast on 23 November 1963.
As part of the anniversary events, the BBC will also broadcast An Adventure in Space and Time - a one-off drama looking at how the sci-fi show came to be made.
Doctor Who: The Bells of Saint John will be shown on BBC One at 18:15 GMT on Saturday. | David Tennant and Billie Piper will appear in the 50th anniversary special of Doctor Who, the BBC has confirmed. | 21980892 | [

The proposed deal is aimed at trying to ease Europe's migration crisis.
But Mr Gove said Turkey had seen an "erosion of fundamental democratic freedoms" and the EU should be protesting, not offering "concessions".
David Cameron has said it would be "literally decades" before Turkey was ready to join the EU.
And he has said the UK has a veto over it happening, saying the agreement of every other EU member - as well as 28 national Parliaments - was necessary before a new country could join.
But Mr Gove said it was "official British government policy" for Turkey to become a member of the bloc and "not to have a referendum on new countries joining".
The EU referendum on 23 June was the "only chance" for the UK to have its say on free movement from Turkey, he added.
The issue of Turkey's bid to join the EU - and the proposed deal to grant Turks visa-free travel in return for Turkey taking back migrants who have crossed the Aegean Sea to Greece - sparked a row earlier on in the EU referendum campaign.
In a speech at Vote Leave's headquarters on Wednesday, Mr Gove, one of the leading Out campaigners, returned to the issue, warning about what he said were the security implications of expanding the EU to Turkey.
He said: "With the terrorism threat that we face only growing, it is hard to see how it could possibly be in our security interests to open visa-free travel to 77 million Turkish citizens and to create a border-free zone from Iraq, Iran and Syria to the English Channel.
"It is even harder to see how such a course is wise when extremists everywhere will believe that the West is opening its borders to appease an Islamist government."
Mr Gove said Turkey's "democratic development" had gone into "reverse" under President Erdogan.
He added: "We and the European Union should be protesting in the clearest and loudest possible manner at this erosion of fundamental democratic freedoms.
"But instead we and the European Union are making concession after concession to Erdogan."
The prime minister has previously accused Leave campaigners of making "a very misleading claim about Turkey" and the EU.
This issue covers immigration and free movement within Europe.
Speaking last month, Mr Cameron said: "It would be decades, literally decades, before this had a prospect of happening and even at that stage we'd still be able to say no."
And he added: "The fact that the Leave campaign are getting things as straightforward as this wrong, I think should call into question their whole judgement into making the bigger argument about leaving the EU.
"They're basically saying vote to get out of Europe because of this issue of Turkey that we can't stop joining the EU. That is not true."
In 2010, Mr Cameron promised to "fight" for Turkey joining the EU, saying he was "angry" at the lack of progress in negotiations.
In a speech to the Turkish Parliament, he said he wanted the two countries to work together to "pave the road from Ankara to Brussels", and pledged: "I will remain your strongest possible advocate for EU membership and for greater influence at the top table of European diplomacy."
Vote Leave chief executive Matthew Elliot has accused the PM of misleading voters over the matter, saying: "He still claims that Turkey won't join the EU while his government is spending £1bn to help speed up their membership." | Justice Secretary and Leave campaigner Michael Gove has issued a fresh warning about the risk of allowing visa-free EU travel for Turkish citizens. | 36479259 | [

In 2014-15, 83% of critical care patients were discharged to another ward, up from 79% in 2011-12, while the numbers treated rose by 8% to 9,700.
But health boards have been told to cut delays in transfers and discharges, equivalent to the loss of 16 beds.
Deputy Health Minister Vaughan Gething said continuous improvement was needed.
He said the report "highlights some of the excellent work taking place in critical care units and hospitals across Wales".
The minister added: "The report also identifies areas where more rapid improvement is needed and health boards must make sure they have robust plans in place to drive out inefficiencies in the system, such as delayed transfers of care." | Survival rates for patients treated in critical care units in Wales are increasing, according to the latest annual report on the service. | 33973422 | [

Later, a ninth person died at a local hospital, an immigration and customs spokesman said.
Thirty others were inside the trailer without air conditioning or water while outside temperatures hit 38C (110F).
Twenty were airlifted to hospital and eight more hospitalised by other means.
Police say they believe the incident is linked to people smuggling.
San Antonio is a few hours' drive from the border with Mexico and the US immigration department is trying to establish the victims' legal status.
Officials were brought to the trailer by a man who had approached an employee of the Walmart and asked for water.
The driver would be charged in connection with the "horrible tragedy", said San Antonio police chief William McManus in a press briefing.
He said the people ranged from school age to in their 30s.
Video footage from the store showed a number of vehicles arriving to pick up some of the survivors. Several others may have managed to escape on foot into the woods nearby.
"We're looking at a human trafficking crime this evening," Mr McManus added.
Local fire chief Charles Hood said the survivors had heart rates of over 130 beats per minute and were very hot to touch. In addition to the 20 people in a critical condition, eight others were taken to hospital in a less severe state.
The fire chief confirmed at least two of the victims were school-age children. Their condition is not clear.
"We're very fortunate that there weren't 38 of these people who were all locked inside this vehicle dead," he added.
The US attorney for the Western District of Texas, Richard Durbin, said the authorities were working to identify those responsible for the incident.
"These people were helpless in the hands of their transporters. Imagine their suffering, trapped in a stifling trailer in 100-plus degree heat," he said in a statement.
They were victims of "ruthless human smugglers indifferent to the wellbeing of their fragile cargo", he added. | Police in the US state of Texas have arrested a truck driver whose vehicle was found in a Walmart car park with eight people dead in the back of it, two of them children. | 40696306 | [

After no play was possible on the first day, Stevens led Kent to 389-7 after Essex's decision to bowl first.
They had slipped to 208-6 with Essex seamer Matt Dixon taking two wickets in two balls with figures of 4-89.
But Stevens shared a partnership of 108 with James Tredwell (39) and completed his 31st first-class ton in the final over of the day at Canterbury.
It was an unflappable display from the 40-year-old, who was patient at first but then showed all his attacking prowess, at one point adding 26 in the space of nine balls faced.
When Tredwell was lbw to Dixon, Stevens added an unbroken 73 with Matt Coles, giving Kent four bonus points and leaving them only two short of guaranteeing second place.
The score at stumps was probably a fair reflection on the way Essex bowled - a one-paced attack short of a front-line spinner.
Joe Denly (74) and Sam Northeast (56) shared 109 for the third wicket, taking advantage as Essex often over-pitched.
Dixon, on his return to the first team, was the pick of the attack as he swung the ball at decent pace, removing Denly and Will Gidman in successive deliveries after Ravi Bopara trapped Sam Billings lbw.
The mini-collapse from 204-3 to 208-6 had Essex in the game, only for Stevens to take it away from them. But what is now a three-day match will be difficult for either side to win. | Darren Stevens' unbeaten 107 gave Kent the upper hand on day two of their game against Division Two champions Essex. | 37422471 | [

A statement called on Haitians to remain calm until a solution is found.
Mr Privert was appointed in February for a six-month term.
He filled the vacancy left by former President Michel Martelly, who stepped down with no successor after the suspension of elections last year.
Haiti has been mired in political crisis since the disputed first round on 25 October.
Representatives of Haiti's main donors, which include the UN and the Organisation of American States (OAS), have called for fresh elections without delay.
Has the international community failed Haiti?
"This... marks the end of the 120-day mandate of the republic's provisional president," read a statement from the Senate deputy president and the president of the Chamber of Deputies.
The statement urged people to "remain calm until the National Assembly meets to take the necessary measures".
Last month, a special commission recommended throwing out the disputed results of last year's first-round presidential election and holding a new vote.
The commission said various irregularities meant last October's ballot could not be considered legitimate.
Haiti has been in political turmoil since the first round, in which Jovenel Moise came first but fell short of an overall majority.
Opposition challenger Jude Celestin accused the electoral authorities of favouring Mr Moise and threatened to pull out of the run-off.
Deadlines have since been missed for four run-off votes, on some occasions leading to violent unrest. | Haiti faces a power vacuum after parliament allowed the mandate of interim President Jocelerme Privert to lapse with still no solution to the country's political crisis. | 36545008 | [

Charlie Jermyn died in May, about 30 hours after he was born in his parents' toilet in Penryn, Cornwall.
Microbiologist Dr James Gray told the inquest in Truro that Charlie had shown some signs of illness but he was not sent to hospital for treatment.
Sepsis happens when the body's immune system goes into overdrive.
More on this story and other news from Devon and Cornwall
Charlie's parents went to the Royal Cornwall Hospital in Truro on 8 May when Hayley Jermyn was heavily pregnant.
The couple were worried the baby would arrive quickly like one of their other children.
Mrs Jermyn was assessed by midwife Jane Calvin, who said the mum-to-be was "not in established labour" when she examined her five hours after arriving.
"She came in at 22:00 and by the time I got to examine her at 03:00, in all that time nothing had changed," she said.
Ms Calvin told the inquest there was "no sign of infection anywhere" and "I advised her to go home and get some rest".
Hours later Charlie was born at home but he died of sepsis on 10 May.
Dr Gray said: "If Charlie had been in hospital at a time when, or soon after, he first showed clinical signs of early-onset sepsis he would have received intravenous antibiotics at least 12 hours, and maybe more than 15 hours, before he died.
"In my opinion, he would, on balance of probability, have survived in such circumstances."
However, Dr Gray said he it was "impossible to say" what condition Charlie might have been left in if he had survived, for example he might have been left with brain damage.
He added that the form of Streptococcal infection Charlie had was "a very serious condition and has a high mortality rate".
The inquest continues. | A baby who was born in a toilet and later died of sepsis could have survived if he had been given antibiotics, an inquest has heard. | 35540820 | [

Gray opened the scoring from the spot after Shane Duffy felled George Boyd in the area.
Rovers pressed for an equaliser but Elliott Bennett's powerful effort was brilliantly kept out by home keeper Tom Heaton.
The Clarets are now four points clear of third-placed Hull.
Relive Burnley v Blackburn here
The victory was the first time Burnley had beaten Rovers at Turf Moor in 38 years and took them a point above Middlesbrough, who beat Wolves 2-1 on Friday night.
Paul Lambert's visitors might feel aggrieved they did not get anything from the game, having had 15 attempts to Burnley's eight and being dominant in the second half.
Blackburn also felt they should have been awarded a first-half penalty when Hope Akpan went down under the challenge of Stephen Ward, while Heaton was again on hand to deny Bennett's low drive in the second period.
Michael Keane did have a late chance to seal it for the hosts, but the centre-back scuffed Scott Arfield's delivery when free in the area as Sean Dyche's side held on to a hard-fought win.
Burnley manager Sean Dyche: "That's my sixth Lancashire derby and I've not seen a decent one yet.
"They've always been tight affairs and we thought it might be that type of game again.
"It was cagey and awkward but obviously I'm delighted we came out on top and it is fantastic for the town and the fans. For me it's three points and another win but for the town it is a different thing."
Blackburn boss Paul Lambert: "I thought we should have won. We were brilliant on Tuesday and we were great today.
"I'm sitting here totally relaxed because I thought we played a right good game against a side who have a lot of Premier League players and have more money than us.
"You wouldn't have noticed the points difference today and that's the level I want my players to play at."

This year the festival features over 200 sculptures including iconic Asian buildings carved out of snow and ice.
A ten metre tall model of a high speed train is also one of the big attractions.
Organisers hope over two million people will visit from all over the country, and abroad, to see the sculptures. | A snow and ice festival in Northern Japan saw some pretty impressive sculptures made out of the cold stuff. | 35506125 | [

The rock is an eroded volcano that lies 260 miles (418km) west of the Western Isles and is only 30m (100ft) wide and 21m (70ft) high above the sea.
The Nato documents report how the UK claimed Rockall in 1955.
The government feared that it could be used by "hostile agents" as a place to monitor the Hebrides Rocket Range.
A small team of military personnel was taken to Rockall by the Royal Navy in September 1955 to claim as UK territory.
A Union Flag was raised and a plaque installed on the rock.
In the documents, it says: "This decision of the UK government was connected with the fact that the UK government had recently decided to set up a guided missile range in South Uist, in the Outer Hebrides.
"The island of Rockall was uninhabited but this government wished to guard against the possibility of hostile agents installing themselves on the island in order to observe the effects of the tests on the South Uist range."
People have stayed on Rockall, though only temporarily, in the past, including in 1997 when three campaigners from Greenpeace managed to climb on to the rock.
They lived on Rockall for 42 days and renamed it Waveland in protest at exploration of new oil and gas reserves in the surrounding seabed.
In 2014, a Scots adventurer broke the record for occupying the remote North Atlantic rock.
Adventurer Nick Hancock survived on there for 43 days, beating the previous record held by three Greenpeace campaigners who lived there for 42 days.
The time also beat the previous solo record of 40 days set by Tom McClean in 1985.
Mr Hancock celebrated achieving the solo record by popping a small bottle of champagne while also sending a tweet with a message to veteran adventurer Mr McClean, of Morar in the west Highlands.
His message was simply: "Sorry Tom." | Declassified documents reveal concerns of the UK government 60 years ago that Rockall could become a base for spying on a missile test site. | 39920686 | [

The boy had lived with the twin in his stomach his whole life, but went to hospital after complaining of pain.
His mother told Bernama the foetus "was formed with organs like those of a baby".
It is believed to be the first reported case of the condition, known medically as "fetus in fetu", in Malaysia.
The boy's mother, 38, said funeral rites had been performed on the foetus and it was buried at a local cemetery.
Reports said the foetus had legs, hands and genitals.
"Only the nose and mouth were not complete," she said, saying she had accepted his fate.
The teenager had been admitted to a local district hospital before being referred to the Sultan Abdul Hamid Hospital in Kedah for the operation to remove the twin.
The hospital and Malaysia's government health officials would not comment on the case to the BBC.
What is fetus in fetu?
Dr S Raman, obstetrics and gynaecology specialist at Pantai Hospital in the capital, Kuala Lumpur, told the BBC it is when an "additional twin gets absorbed into the body of the living twin".
"It's almost like a vanishing twin, or sometimes called a parasitic twin," he said.
"I have actually seen a case of the foetus being attached to the outside of the living twin, so it's possible for the twin to be both inside or outside the body."
There have also been cases of two twins found inside the abdomen of one child, in the case of a triplet pregnancy.
What causes it?
There is no known trigger, but it occurs in the early stages of development when one foetus wraps around the other.
The enveloped twin then does not fully form but becomes a "parasite", relying on their host twin for their survival. Such twins usually die before birth.
The abnormality is estimated to occur in 1 in 500,000 live births.
Is it unusual to live so long with the twin?
One widely reported case was of a 36-year-old man in India whose tumour had grown so big that he was having difficulty breathing.
In villages or smaller towns where access to medical facilities are limited, it is possible for someone to not know they have a foetus and live with it their entire life, says Dr Raman.
The abnormality is easily spotted if a baby undergoes an ultrasound or CT scan, and there have been cases of babies as young as three months old being operated on. | A 15-year-old Malaysian boy has had the parasitic foetus of his twin removed from his stomach, Malaysia's Bernama state news agency reports. | 36376079 | [

Mr Kaczynski's Law and Justice party never accepted an inquiry that found the Smolensk crash was an accident.
The party, which was returned to power in elections last month, accuses Mr Tusk of negligence.
He resigned as prime minister last year to become European Council president.
Government spokesman Elzbieta Witek said Poland's State Tribunal would be "a good thing" for Mr Tusk, referring to a court that handles cases against elected and other senior officials.
She was echoing a call from a government minister, Adam Lipinski, who said the former prime minister had "a lot to answer for" and should be prosecuted after his initial term of office came to an end in Brussels in 2017.
On 10 April 2010, 96 Poles were killed when the Tupolev plane they were travelling in went down in thick fog, short of the runway near Smolensk in western Russia.
The president, his wife and senior government officials were on their way to Katyn to mark the 70th anniversary of the murder of thousands of Polish officers by Soviet secret police.
Separate investigations ruled out any kind of plot, blaming the conditions and poorly trained pilots. Leaked transcripts also indicated the pilots had come under pressure from people on board.
Mr Lipinski, a minister in the prime minister's office, told Polish newspaper Super Express that Mr Tusk had "given away" the Smolensk investigation to the Russians, had been negligent in explaining the disaster and had failed to bring back the wreckage to Poland.
The Law and Justice party is still run by the late president's brother and identical twin, Jaroslaw Kaczynski, although the prime minister is Beata Szydlo.
The government spokeswoman said there was no plan to seek a prosecution against Mr Tusk, insisting it was her private view.
But ministers this week shut down the website of the Polish state's Smolensk crash investigation. | A Polish government spokeswoman has called for former Prime Minister Donald Tusk to be put on trial for his handling of the 2010 air disaster in which President Lech Kaczynski died. | 34922787 | [

Energy will travel via the world's longest sub-sea electricity interconnector.
The €2bn (£1.4bn) project has been rubber stamped between National Grid and its Norwegian equivalent Statnett.
The UK aims to import enough hydro-power from Norway to provide 14% of yearly household electricity needs.
Alan Foster, director of European business development for National Grid, said: "Access to low-carbon energy from Norway hydro-power stations will help us meet the challenge of greener, affordable energy.
"It also adds to the diversity of energy sources for UK and potentially can reduce peak prices, with benefits for consumers and businesses."
Statnett chief executive Auke Lont said: "Not only is this a technically impressive project where we will set a new world record, it is also an important contribution to the increase of renewable energy production on both sides."
The North Sea Network (NSN) interconnector is due to be completed in 2021 and will have a capacity of 1.4 gigawatts (GW).
The sub-sea electricity cable will connect the two countries' electricity markets directly for the first time.
Energy secretary Ed Davey said: "Britain will benefit from Norwegian green hydropower, at the flick of a switch, providing green back-up power when the wind's not blowing, and this will actually save people money."
The new NSN interconnector will be more than 730km long and will carry enough power for 750,000 homes at peak demand, a spokeswoman for the Department of Energy and Climate Change said.
For average usage by households, it could power up to four million homes, she added.
Most electricity in Norway is generated from hydropower, and water from Norwegian lakes will generate the electricity that will be connected into the UK network.
The NSN cable will connect to the Norwegian network at Kvilldal, next to the Kvilldal power station, which at 1,240 megawatts (MW) is the largest power station in Norway in terms of capacity.
The Kvilldal plant is powered by the waters in the Blasjo reservoir, the country's biggest artificial lake.
The sub-sea cable will connect to the UK network at Blyth in Northumberland.
Crucially, the UK will be able to call on the power at short notice. The energy will be used to manage the growing levels of intermittent wind power on the network.
It will also be a two-way link. Norway will be able to import power from the UK during dry periods when hydroelectric power is less widely available.
According to the government, the link will help the UK benefit from Norway's cheaper electricity prices. It estimates that the interconnector will deliver consumer benefits of up to £3.5bn through to 2040.
By reducing the need for new gas-fired power plants, the government insists the link will also reduce the UK's green house gas emissions.
Interconnectors are transmission cables that allow electricity to flow from one country to another.
Energy regulator Ofgem says that they can lower consumer bills by accessing cheaper power and boosting UK energy supplies.
The UK mainland currently has four interconnectors that link to France, the Netherlands, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
Together they provide around 4 GW of electricity capacity. This represents about 4% of Britain's electricity supply.
The energy regulator is currently examining the need for two further interconnectors to France and one to Denmark.
Last month, National Grid signed a joint venture agreement with the Belgian electricity transmission operator, Elia, to develop Nemo, the first electricity interconnector between the two countries. | Green power from Norway will be powering hundreds of thousands of UK homes from 2021, National Grid has said. | 32067675 | [

Andrew Hutchinson, from Abingdon, Oxfordshire, pleaded guilty to rape, sexual assault and voyeurism committed from 2011 to 2013.
The 29-year-old filmed himself raping two patients at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, where he worked.
He also attacked women who had passed out while he was on duty at a music festival, Oxford Crown Court heard.
Hutchinson targeted women who had lost consciousness through drinking too much and they were unaware they had been assaulted until contacted by Thames Valley Police.
The court heard the women he raped in the A&E department at the Oxford hospital had to view parts of Hutchinson's recordings in order to identify themselves.
One victim, an 18-year-old, was raped in October 2011 and a 35-year-old was raped in February 2012.
He also attacked two women in their 20s while volunteering as a medic at the Wilderness Festival in Cornbury Park, Oxfordshire, in August 2013.
His was tending the women when he committed the crimes, one in a medical tent and the other in a nearby ambulance.
Officers initially arrested him for secretly filming girls as young as nine in changing rooms at the White Horse Leisure Centre in Abingdon in November 2013.
Following a search of his home, police found footage of sex attacks on his computer and mobile phone.
The court was told Hutchinson also had hundreds of other voyeuristic images, including "up skirt" pictures taken on the London Underground while he was volunteering at the 2012 Olympics.
Victims were also filmed at John Radcliffe Hospital and at a gym in Batley, West Yorkshire where he had previously worked.
At a hearing on 30 March, he also pleaded guilty to outraging public decency, making indecent images of children, theft of a hospital camera used for internal examinations and possession of the class B drug ketamine.
The victims of his crimes were aged between nine and 35, although many were unidentifiable due to the nature of the footage.
Catherine Stoddart, chief nurse at Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust, said: "I am shocked and horrified by the way in which Andrew Hutchinson has betrayed the patients he was entrusted to care for and his colleagues, who also trusted him."
She said the hospital will be carrying out an internal review to see if Hutchinson could have been prevented from committing his crimes.
Hutchinson was suspended by the trust in November 2013 following allegations he stole medical equipment.
It also informed the Nursing and Midwifery Council and launched an internal investigation, which led to his dismissal.
Judge Ian Pringle QC described Hutchinson's crimes as "despicable".
He said: "When they were unconscious requiring your help and your assistance as their nurse, you raped them and you filmed it.
"It is impossible to conceive of a greater breach of trust in our society."
In a statement read out in court, one of the victims said: "I think that what he has done is much worse that doing it in the street because I had no idea what was happening, so I had no opportunity to fight back."
Senior investigating officer, Det Ch Insp Mark Johns of Thames Valley Police, said: "This has been a particularly complicated, unusual and sensitive case as the victims were not aware that offences took place because they were not conscious.
"I would like to thank the victims for the great courage and dignity they have shown during our investigation."
Police said all victims who can be identified have been contacted.
Anyone with concerns can contact police on 101, quoting Operation Bream. | A former nurse has been jailed for 18 years for raping and sexually assaulting unconscious women. | 32486188 | [

"This is honestly the weirdest day ever," she said as the programme began.
"There's a hashtag on Twitter, #FarewellFearne, which is a bit like I've died," she added.
The 33-year-old said she was stepping down for "family and new adventures" in February, after revealing she was pregnant with her second baby.
Dave Grohl - frontman of her favourite band, Foo Fighters - led the tributes with a specially-recorded phone message for her last show.
He said: "It's one thing to be a wonderful voice on the radio, someone that has that kind of timing and sophistication and humour and knowledge - but then also to be the most beautiful woman in the world?
"Usually when you step into a radio studio, you're faced with some people that look like they should be working on the radio. In her case, she deserves to be out of the studio a little bit more."
Ricky Gervais, in character as David Brent, also left a message, saying: "Ten years on the old wireless. Lasted longer than some. Congratulations Fern Britton."
Coldplay's Chris Martin wrote a new song - Gone But Not F. Cotton - to mark her departure.
"I was very, very sad to hear my favourite show would disappear," he sang.
"Have to tell her thanks for the records she played / Thanks for introducing us to Lana Del Rey."
"Thanks for all the mornings in the lounge, we'd arrive / And sweetly you'd tell us, 'no swearing, we're live.'"
Rock band Kodaline played a specially-adapted version of their song The One, with the lyrics: "The BBC will never be the same, we're going to miss you when you're gone. / We hope the goldfish that we gave you is still alive and swimming on."
James Bay also recorded an acoustic version of Jackie Wilson's (Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher.
The song, which was played at Cotton's wedding, reduced the DJ to tears.
As the broadcast began at 10:00 BST, Cotton said she was "terrified-slash-excited," having been kept in the dark about the surprises in store.
"I've been looking forward to it and dreading it in equal measures. I've barely slept."
Looking back on her time at Radio 1, she said: "I started here in my early 20s with my dear friend Reggie Yates and that feels like a lifetime ago. I find myself here on my last day, at 33, as a mum."
"I will walk out here with so many amazing memories."
The DJ hand-picked the playlist for her final show, playing favourites including Adele's Hometown Glory, Fleet Foxes' Helplessness Blues and The Avalanches' Since I Left You.
Her final track was Lana Del Rey's Video Games.
During the show, many of the artists Cotton championed over the years sent their best wishes on social media.
Sam Smith said he would "miss your sweet voice in my ears every day"; while Ellie Goulding added: "Thank you for always supporting me and supporting new music."
Cotton's show, which features the Live Lounge segment, won a Sony award for best music programme in 2012.
DJ Clara Amfo will take over the programme on Monday, playing highlights from Radio 1's Big Weekend festival, which takes place in Norwich this weekend.
Cotton will wrap up her time at the station by presenting some of the coverage over the two days of the event. | DJ Fearne Cotton has broadcast her final show on Radio 1, after almost 10 years at the station, and six at the helm of the mid-morning show. | 32844583 | [

The racket threatens to drown out coach Simon Davies.
The City Under-21 assistant coach is using digital technology to explain to a bunch of slightly unfit reporters how he wants a coaching drill involving the use of overlapping players to develop.
And just as Mr Davies successfully cuts through the surrounding noise, so the club is attempting to cut through the increasing business "noise" - all the playing and supporter data it is endlessly accumulating and managing.
The club, which has been at the forefront of data analytics, has signed a new deal to help it make sense of all this data.
The City Football Group (CFG), which comprises Manchester City, New York City, Melbourne City and Yokohama Marinos, has entered into a global, multi-year marketing and technology partnership with German software giant, SAP.
"The intersection between sport and technology might change the landscape about what we do in the future," says Ferran Soriano, chief executive of both Man City and CFG.
At the more prosaic - but financially important - level, CFG says the SAP deal means it will be able to operate more interactively as a global football business.
All four clubs will be "speaking the same business language" by using the same systems, and swapping best practice when it comes to marketing, for example, as well as enabling the quartet to stay efficiently inter-connected.
However, on the more visionary, and, as Mr Soriano says, "emotional" fronts, CFG believes the SAP tie-up will be of huge value in revolutionising both their playing and fan operations.
All Premier League clubs have data analysts, as do many in the lower divisions, with stats crunched on everything from the distance covered by a player in a game to the number of crosses played with either foot.
In fact, every step on the pitch is monitored now.
Similarly, away from match day, thousands of hours of training data is accumulated, while injury, dietary, sleep and medical data is also harvested and studied.
Assisted by SAP, which worked with the successful German 2014 World Cup-winning squad, the teams will use the insights derived from this data to produce everything from individual player coaching and training programmes, to tactics tailored to counter each opposition team.
But CFG, which is owned by the Abu Dhabi United Group, believes that all this sports data could eventually be condensed and a whole whole new way of playing emerge.
"Technology will allow us to play better football," says Mr Soriano, who formerly worked at Spanish giant Barcelona.
"We are going to work together in finding new ways of understanding the game, and designing a better game to help us win."
That vision of creating a new way of playing - a new Total Football or tiki-taka for the future - is shared by colleague and former player, Brian Marwood.
He won a league title with Arsenal in 1988/89, and is managing director of the football group's City Football Services. He oversees the recruitment, development, training and management of hundreds of players in Manchester and at other global training centres.
"We have a great opportunity to lead in football, and are searching for the next trend. which will keep us ahead of everyone else," says Mr Marwood.
"We have got a team of people trying to find out what the next 10 to 20 years of football will look like. We want to be ahead of the game."
To that end, a research and innovation group for all four clubs is being created.
Another major goal is to use data to enhance the fan experience.
CFG believes that with SAP's assistance they can change the way supporters of the group's four teams access and consume football data.
Tom Glick, president of New York City FC says that CFG will be looking to enhance the viewing experience of fans, whether "glued to the action" at the stadium, or sitting at home watching on TV.
"The task of finding new ways to get this information to the fans starts now," he says. "We will be asking them what additional information and data about the game and players they would look to see - what is important to them."
The first innovation in this area will be a large digital statistics wall installed at Man City's Etihad Stadium from next season, which will show player and match statistics from the previous game.
"I can see the attraction in providing supporters with access to match data, particularly among the younger tech-aware generation in their teens and twenties," says Kevin Parker, secretary of the Man City supporters club.
"We have all got an opinion on how our players are playing during a game and whether a particular player - for example Fernandinho - has worked as hard or not as it appears to fans at the game," he says.
"Or you can confirm whether David Silva or Yaya Toure have played those key passes that you thought they had. That can all add to the whole spectacle and enjoyment of the game, and provide talking points."
But he warns that "some of the more vociferous elements at a match might get on a player's back" if their match data was not impressive.
He also says data overload might be a danger, particularly if chewing over match statistics at home overshadows the experience of attending a game in the flesh.
"Any data has to be handled and presented in the right way," he says.
Meanwhile, the next step in enhancing that data collection for the group of clubs will be this October, when Melbourne City FC take to wearing player monitors during Australian league games.
"We believe we are doing something that has never been done before, around the world," says group chief executive Soriano of the tech route ahead.
"We have to take risks, innovate, make mistakes." | "You gotta roll with it," blares out Liam Gallagher as the Oasis hit combines with the rain thundering onto the roof of Manchester City's indoor academy pitch. | 33277924 | [

Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said Russia had not provided "any real explanation" of the violation, which "lasted for a long time."
Russia says Saturday's incursion was brief and due to bad weather. It is examining claims of another violation.
Turkey's army also says an unidentified fighter jet locked its radar on to eight of its jets on Monday.
It echoes a similar incident on Sunday, when an unidentified Mig-29 - which analysts say may have been Syrian - locked its radar onto Turkish jets for more than five minutes over the Turkish-Syrian border.
Missile systems inside Syria were also locked on to Turkish planes for more than four minutes on Monday, the Turkish military says.
The incidents involving Mig-29 aircraft "illuminating" Turkish F-16 jets with their radars - a preliminary to actually engaging them - suggests a new assertiveness on the part of the Syrian air force.
Russia, as far as we know, has not deployed Mig-29s as part of its air expeditionary force to Syria. It has though supplied its Syrian counterpart with the aircraft in the past.
Some - at least - of Syria's Mig-29s are still operational; indeed, as a fighter rather than a ground attack aircraft, they have flown a lot less during Syria's protracted civil war.
Syria and Turkey have a difficult history of incidents over recent years. In 2012, Syrian missiles shot down a Turkish Phantom jet off the Mediterranean coast.
Last year, Turkish jets shot down a Syrian Mig-23 that had strayed into Turkish airspace along with a Syrian helicopter earlier this year. So the tensions are real and the possibility of a deadly encounter ever present.
Syria still maintains reasonably sophisticated surface-to-air missile defences, but many bases have been overrun and it is far from an integrated national system.
A high-stakes gamble: Can Russia and the US avoid clashing?
Where key countries stand: Who is backing whom
Why? What? How? Five things you need to know about Russia's involvement
What can Russia's air force do? The US-led coalition has failed to destroy IS. Can Russia do any better?
On Tuesday, Syrian state TV said Russia had hit parts of Palmyra, which is held by Islamic State (IS) militants and is renowned for its nearby ancient ruins, but Russia denied the claims.
The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said 15 IS fighters were killed in the Palmyra air strikes.
The Russian defence ministry said it flew 20 sorties on Tuesday, striking 12 IS targets.
It said field camps, explosive stores and food supplies were destroyed in the north-western province of Idlib, where rebel groups have made significant gains against government forces in recent months.
Russia began its air campaign in Syria last Wednesday.
It says it is targeting "all terrorists" in co-ordination with Syria's government, but Nato and allied states have expressed concern that it is concentrating its attacks on rebel groups opposed to President Bashar al-Assad, some of them backed by the West, and not jihadist groups like IS.
Turkey has twice summoned the Russian ambassador - once over the first violation, which occurred on Saturday, and once over a second violation that Turkey says took place on Sunday.
In the latest reaction:
Mr Stoltenberg called the Russian violation "unacceptable", saying Nato was taking it "very seriously" and warning that "incidents, accidents, may create dangerous situations"
There had been "a substantial military build-up" by Russia in Syria, including ground troops and naval capabilities, he said.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has denied that civilians have been killed by Russian strikes in the past week, but evidence on the ground has indicated otherwise.
A US-led coalition has been conducting air strikes against IS in Syria and Iraq since September last year, which rights groups say have also caused civilian deaths.
Syria's conflict, which began in 2011, has left more than 250,000 dead and about half the country's population displaced. | Russia's violation of Turkish airspace over the weekend "does not look like an accident", Nato has said. | 34453739 | [

Eight houses on the A3055 Undercliff Drive on the Isle of Wight were evacuated in 2014.
One family complained to the Local Government Ombudsman over the council's response to the evacuation and subsequent work on the road.
The council agreed to pay £5,000 compensation to the family.
Emergency services helped residents leave their homes on Undercliff Drive - between Niton and St Lawrence - following the landslip after heavy rain in February 2014.
The road was closed with properties only accessible on foot. In 2016, a temporary route to provide full access for local residents was created.
Council statements in the years following the landslip insisted householders were "an absolute priority" and said they would be "fully informed of progress" on road works.
The ombudsman's report said: "I also have seen no persuasive evidence to show it properly planned and adequately managed the situation."
It also said its road plans were "disjointed and reactive" and it did not give "timely and clear responses" to householders.
Delays in carrying out work were blamed on a "lack of effective liaison and project planning".
The ombudsman said the unnamed family, some of whom had long-term medical conditions, suffered "avoidable distress" due to the council's actions.
The council was also ordered to help pay the family's costs in returning their house to a habitable condition.
A spokeswoman said: "The council has worked with the family to ensure that the recommendations of the report are being met.
"The family is now living in their home and work to meet the recommendations remain ongoing, in close consultation with the family, as required." | A council's response to a collapsed road following a landslip was "disjointed", a local government watchdog has found. | 39733998 | [

At least 17 US-based and local groups receiving foreign funding were targeted, according to activists and Egyptian state media.
An official said at least one of the US-based groups was operating without proper permits.
The US state department said it was "very concerned" and urged authorities to stop the "harassment" of NGO staff.
Some civil society activists have reported that employees were prevented from leaving while searches continued.
"This is not appropriate in the current environment," state department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said, adding that senior US officials had been in touch with Egyptian military leaders to express their concern over the raids.
Egypt's military has vowed to investigate how pro-democracy and human rights organisations are funded and has said repeatedly it will not tolerate foreign interference in the country's affairs.
"The public prosecutor has searched 17 civil society organisations, local and foreign, as part of the foreign funding case," official news agency Mena cited the prosecutor's office as saying.
"The search is based on evidence showing violation of Egyptian laws including not having permits."
The US-based groups targeted include the National Democratic Institute (NDI) and the International Republican Institute (IRI), loosely associated with the US Democratic and Republican parties.
'Guardians of freedom'
Documents and computers have been seized as part of the investigations and one report said that the IRI's doors had been sealed with wax.
Julie Hughes, Cairo Director of the NDI, told the BBC about 14 members of the security forces had turned up at its offices.
"They came in and asked all of us to gather together in a room, to leave the laptops on our desks, and open and accessible," she said.
"They went around the room from computer to computer looking through files and then gathering up those computers, and then about four and a half hours later they left."
Both pro-democracy groups, who say they take a neutral political stance, run programmes to train members of nascent political parties in democratic processes.
The Arab Centre for the Independence of Justice was also among those being investigated, its head, Nasser Amin, told AFP.
Civil society groups have responded angrily to the raids.
"[Former President Hosni] Mubarak's regime did not dare to undertake such practices prior to the uprising," the Arabic Network for Human Rights Information said in a statement.
The group said the authorities were "aiming to intimidate activists and rights advocates, gag their mouths and freeze their activities in support of human rights and against repression and torture".
Nobel peace laureate and Egyptian reformist Mohamed ElBaradei said any attempt to stifle such groups would surely backfire.
"Human rights organisations are the guardians of nascent freedom. Efforts to suffocate them will be a major setback," he wrote on his Twitter account. | Egyptian soldiers and police have raided the offices of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in Cairo. | 16357795 | [

From April 2016, those in England and Wales will have to pay a 3% surcharge on each stamp duty band.
George Osborne said the new surcharge would raise £1bn extra for the Treasury by 2021.
Landlords reacted angrily to the change, saying it would "choke off" investment in rented properties.
Other changes announced by the chancellor included an extended Help to Buy scheme in London, and more money for the Starter Homes programme.
The stamp duty surcharge will lift each band by 3%. That means that for properties worth between £125,000 and £250,000, where the stamp duty is 2%, buy-to-let landlords will pay 5%.
For the average buy-to-let purchase of £184,000, that means they will pay an extra £5,520 from April 2016.
Commercial property investors, with more than 15 properties, are expected to be exempt from the new charges.
Buy-to-let landlords will also be hit by a change to Capital Gains Tax (CGT) rules.
From April 2019, they will have to pay any CGT due within 30 days of selling a property, rather than waiting till the end of the tax year, as at present.
Landlords are already due to get a lower rate of tax relief on mortgage payments.
In his summer Budget, the chancellor said that landlords would only receive the basic rate of tax relief - 20% - on mortgage payments, a change being phased in from 2017.
Responding to the latest changes, Richard Lambert, chief executive of the National Landlords Association said: "The chancellor's political intention is crystal clear; he wants to choke off future investment in private properties to rent.
"If it's the chancellor's intention to completely eradicate buy-to-let in the UK then it's a mystery to us why he doesn't just come out and say so".
Up to £60m of the money raised from the stamp duty surcharge will go to help home-buyers in England in places where holiday homes have forced up local prices.
The Help to Buy (equity loan) scheme in England will also be extended to 2021, one year longer than planned.
An extension to the scheme in London will see buyers who can find a 5% deposit given a loan worth up to 40% of the property.
The loan will be interest free for five years.
Elsewhere the existing maximum loan is for 20% of the property's value.
In total, the government will put an extra £6.9bn into housing.
This includes an extra £2.3bn in loans for the government's starter homes programme, and £4bn lent to housing associations and local authorities to build more homes for shared ownership.
Another £200m will be used to build homes for rent, which will allow tenants to save for a deposit.
There will also be a pilot scheme to trial the government's Right to Buy programme for housing association tenants.
Five housing associations will take part, to help design the final scheme.
Presented by Chancellor George Osborne, the Spending Review sets out what government spending will be over the next four years, while the Autumn Statement is an annual update of government plans for the economy.

Intervening against the extremist forces who call themselves the Islamic State in Syria - it seemed impossible less than a month ago.
But in the weeks since the Paris attacks, the prospect of extending bombing strikes into Syria from Iraq has taken on a reluctant inevitability.
Planes may be dropping bombs by tonight.
But for the prime minister, with this, his third big foreign intervention - Libya, Iraq, now Syria - pulling together a wider plan to achieve real peace is a far more complex task, one he acknowledges the UK cannot complete on its own.
Yet by choosing action, that's a task he faces new pressure to help deliver.
For Labour too though the months ahead will be wracked with tensions that have been wound even tighter by the last few days' events.
The decision to take military action is never taken lightly.
But its political consequences could be heavy indeed.

Officers from the National Crime Agency (NCA) found items including a tiger's head, monkey skulls, reptiles and stuffed birds of prey during raids in Newton Abbot, Devon.
The man, 40, was arrested on suspicion of breaking laws protecting endangered species and bailed until September.
It follows the seizure by the UK Border Force of a chameleon preserved in formaldehyde at Heathrow.
The reptile, found last month, had been shipped from the United States. As a controlled species, there were strict rules in place to prevent its illegal importation.
The discovery led NCA officers, supported by UK Border Force officers, to a Newton Abbot business address on Thursday.
Dawn Cartwright, from the NCA's Border Policing Command, said: "Unregulated imports or exports of rare species can have a devastating impact on their survival, which is why the law around moving them is so strict and we take potential breaches of that law so seriously.
"Working with Border Force and our law enforcement partners, we will continue to target the international criminal trade in endangered species." | A man has been arrested after a haul of exotic animal parts was seized. | 32852311 | [

Six incidents have been reported to police between 3 and 13 February.
In all the cases, two or three men have targeted foreign national tourists in an attempt to steal money - succeeding on two occasions.
The men, who are described as southern European, claimed to be police officers before demanding to search the victims.
Police Scotland said the first incident took place at about 13:20 on 3 February in the Grassmarket, when a Chilean man was approached by a man who asked him to take his photograph.
The pair were then approached by two suspects who claimed to be police officers and then demanded to search them.
The two police impersonators then got into a silver or grey Seat hatchback and drove away and the other man walked into the Grassmarket.
Officers said the Chilean man later realised a three-figure sum of money had been stolen from him.
On 13 February, two Chinese tourists lost a four-figure sum of cash when they were targeted in a similar scam on Market Street. They were approached by two men who showed them ID and said they were undercover police officers.
Other incidents happened in Chambers Street, Castle Street, and in the Calton Hill area. There was one incident on 3 February, one on 11 February and four on 13 February.
Sgt Mark Hamilton, of Police Scotland, said: "These men are purposely targeting tourists who are visiting the city centre in a bid to steal money from them.
"Impersonating a police officer is not only inappropriate, it is illegal. We would advise that if you are stopped by someone claiming to be a Police Scotland officer, request their collar number and ask to see a warrant card.
"All our officers are happy to provide this information to the public and it should be offered readily." | Police in Edinburgh are investigating a series of thefts and attempted thefts where men have impersonated police officers. | 38974549 | [

Chernova, now 27, beat Briton Ennis-Hill to gold at the 2011 World Championships in Korea.
This week she was given a ban and had earlier results annulled after a sample from 2009 was re-tested - but kept her world title.
"She set a personal best with the benefit of drug use," Minichiello said.
Russian anti-doping agency punished Chernova with a two-year ban, backdated to 22 June 2013.
It also annulled her results from 15 August 2009 to 14 August 2011 - a period that ended just 16 days before she won world gold in Daegu with a personal best of 6,880 points, beating defending champion Ennis-Hill's 6,751.
Research carried out by the University of Oslo in October 2013 established that muscles can retain the advantages given by anabolic steroids decades after the point at which they were taken.
Minichiello wants athletics' world governing body the IAAF and the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) to have a "long, hard look" at the Russian anti-doping agency's punishment.
The IAAF told BBC Sport it is awaiting a full explanation from the Russian authorities before deciding whether it needs to take any action.
"Maybe it highlights that there is a gap within the anti-doping code which allows only a two-year ban from the initial test and then another ban from the date of the re-test," added Minichiello.
"I think it should probably all run seamlessly and athletes should be banned for the whole time. Otherwise you have a ban for Chernova that really looks quite ineffective."
Chernova's backdated ban is due to expire on 21 June, and with the qualification period for the 2015 World Championships in Beijing running until 10 August, she could compete both there and at the 2016 Rio Olympics.
"It would be frustrating if she lines up on the starting line but those are the rules out there and we need to abide by them," said Minichiello.
"That is why we think Wada needs to look at its code and penalties to show there is potentially a loophole that needs to be looked. I'm sure the Russian anti-doping agency have administered suspensions according to the rules, so therefore it needs to be looked at."
Last week, Russia's athletics head coach Valentin Maslakov resigned after a number of athletes from the country were found guilty of committing doping offences.
Wada is investigating allegations of widespread doping and corruption in Russian athletics after claims were aired in a recent German television documentary, with a report due to be published by the end of the year.
The IAAF said last week it was concerned about the number of Russian doping cases in the sport. | Jessica Ennis-Hill's coach Toni Minichiello wants Russian heptathlete Tatyana Chernova's drugs ban to be re-examined by the sporting authorities. | 31078095 | [

An investigation into Pembrokeshire council's dealings with Michael Smith said it was "only luck" that stopped his application.
The 2015 review was confidential, but a copy of the report has been exclusively obtained by the Western Telegraph.
It revealed a head of service initially failed to provide information of child protection concerns about Smith.
Pembrokeshire council said "it is unfortunate that a member of the authority has seen fit to disclose the report, contrary to advice".
Smith, from Haverfordwest, was employed as a youth worker for the council between May 2001 and January 2012.
During that time he was the subject of three disciplinary hearings.
Allegations against him included allowing a child to sit on his lap and drive his Land Rover, allowing a child to sit in his Land Rover without wearing a seatbelt, and a young person, who had been reported missing by their foster carer, had shown up at his home.
The report, which was compiled by an independent social worker, said Smith "displayed many grooming behaviours during the years he was employed by Pembrokeshire council but there were no direct allegations of abuse during this time".
Smith was dismissed for gross misconduct and in September 2013 a police investigation began after he was accused of sexually abusing a boy.
He was jailed for six years in July 2014 after admitting sexually assaulting a child under the age of 13, inciting the child to engage in sexual activity and taking indecent photographs of the child.
He also admitted possessing 1,136 indecent images of children.
The report said in 2010 Smith had applied to Pembrokeshire council to become a respite foster carer.
The fostering team wrote to the Head of Youth Service for his views on Smith's application.
The report said the head of service had "replied in very positive terms".
A formal reference form which the head of service was sent asked him to "highlight any concerns" regarding Smith's employment, including any disciplinary proceedings and the outcomes.
The head of service left the section blank.
It was not until the papers were distributed to the foster panel that one of the members recalled Smith had been investigated previously for inappropriate behaviour with children and had been disciplined.
The panel concluded Smith was not suitable for approval to be a foster carer.
"By withholding relevant information and leaving the section of the form blank, the foster panel might have concluded that there had been no concerns and no disciplinary action," the report said.
"It was only chance that a member of the fostering panel recollected the safeguarding investigation in 2005" and "only luck that prevented Smith from being approved as a foster carer".
There have been calls to make the report public.
The latest request took place at full council on 2 March when Cllr Mike Stoddart had put forward a notice of motion asking for it to be published.
He said it is in "the public interest to publish the report so that the electorate can be fully apprised of the chain of events surrounding this issue."
His motion was defeated by a single vote.
A statement from Pembrokeshire council said: "The report contains personal information in relation to children, parents and professionals, and the report was made available to members on this basis. Further publication of this report was restricted.
"On making the report available to all members, they were made aware that there are families in the area who remain affected by the actions of Mr Smith, and were reminded of their corporate obligation to safeguard everyone in the community." | An ex-youth worker jailed for child sex offences could have been approved as a foster carer, a case review has found. | 39206997 | [

In particular, she likes fancy china and plates, and is happy to show off her latest purchase.
She ordered a platter online, and took it out of the bubble wrap excitedly.
She bought that item, and some more china, toiletries and a bike, on a cashback website so she is expecting about £14 to be paid back to her.
But Ms Sen might have to be patient. It will take up to four months for her to be paid.
Cashback sites are a simple idea. Instead of going directly to a shop, you access a retailer's online store through a link from a cashback website.
You still receive your item directly from the retailer, but you also get some money from the cashback website.
It is often a percentage of the total price you paid.
The sites have links to retailers of everything from groceries and toiletries, to insurance policies and broadband deals.
But Ms Sen has not actually had any money back yet.
"I thought it was going to be as easy as one-two-three, just make the purchase to the website and get the cash back the next day," she said.
"But that didn't happen. It's been well over a month and I'm still waiting for it."
Ms Sen thinks the website is not clear enough about how long that wait will be.
"I have no idea how long it's going to take me to get the cash back," she said.
She went through one of the biggest cashback sites, Quidco.
It says it has more than 2 million members in the UK, and that the average user can make £262 a year.
That is small change for its more committed users. Quidco says more than a hundred of them have made over £10,000.
But, like all cashback websites, its customers can face long waits for their money to start coming in.
Andy Oldham is the company's managing director and said every attempt is made to be clear and transparent.
"That's the whole ethos of the site," he said.
"On every single merchant page, we've got statistics that show the time it takes for those transactions to be paid out."
For example, with the bike Ms Sen bought, the information about the length of time is displayed underneath the deal.
We pointed this out to Ms Sen, who said she had never noticed the warning before.
She thinks that four months is too long to wait for her money.
"It's right down the bottom of the page," she said.
"Look how light the shade of the font is. It's just not prominent enough. They need to make it clearer," she added.
Despite all this, she says she will carry on using cashback websites.
"My attitude is, it's better than getting no money back at all," she said.
Quidco's Andy Oldham said he would take Ms Sen's feedback on board.
He admitted there was "quite possibly" an argument for rethinking how this information is shown on the website.
Mr Oldham maintains that it is impossible to give an average waiting time, because it depends on different retailers and products.
So, if you are buying something like food, that will be consumed quickly, you should be paid relatively quickly.
On the other hand, if you book a holiday six months in advance, you will not be paid until after you come home.
Mr Oldham says it was important that customers realised that cashback arrangements do not pay out immediately.
"We're very much dependent on the retailer paying us the advertising commission before we pay it back to the consumer," he pointed out.
Another site, TopCashBack, says it works hard to manage consumers' expectations about how long it takes to get their money.
But on average, those customers may have to wait 12 weeks for their money to clear into their accounts.
There are other things to be aware of if you sign up to a cashback website.
Some, like Quidco, charge an annual fee while others take a cut out of your commission.
Personal finance expert Sarah Pennells, from the website Savvywoman, says there are dozens of sites to pick from, so it is important to shop around to find the best one for you.
"The first thing is to look at how much cash you're going to get back on the various deals and secondly, look at how they're going to pay you," she said.
"Some pay by cheque, others by bank transfer, some ask you to set up a PayPal account.
"The last thing, and possibly most important thing, is don't just focus on the cashback deal. It's got to be the right deal or buy in the first place," she added. | Swagata Sen likes her home to look good. | 18207304 | [

"It is with tremendous sadness that we announce the death of our beautiful, dynamic and one-of-a-kind mother," the statement said.
The British-born writer, sister of actress Joan Collins, died in Los Angeles, her spokeswoman said.
Collins's raunchy novels of the rich and famous sold more than 500 million copies in 40 countries.
In a career spanning four decades, all 32 of her novels appeared in the New York Times bestseller list.
The family statement said the writer lived "a wonderfully full life", adored by family, friends and readers.
"She was a true inspiration, a trailblazer for women in fiction and a creative force. She will live on through her characters but we already miss her beyond words," it added.
Collins was diagnosed with stage-four breast cancer six-and-a-half years ago, according to US celebrity magazine People.
She told the magazine in her last interview on 14 September that she had told few people about her diagnosis other than her three daughters, and did not regret her decision.
"I did it my way, as Frank Sinatra would say," she said.
"I've written five books since the diagnosis, I've lived my life, I've travelled all over the world, I have not turned down book tours and no-one has ever known until now when I feel as though I should come out with it."
She was in the UK less than a fortnight ago on a promotional tour for her latest book.
Her sister Joan, 82, who only learned the news herself in the last fortnight, told People magazine she was "completely devastated".
"She was my best friend. I admire how she handled this. She was a wonderful, brave and a beautiful person and I love her," she said.
Jackie Collins, who was born in London, began writing as a teenager, making up racy stories for her schoolfriends, according to a biography on her website.
Her first novel, The World is Full of Married Men, was published in 1968 and became a scandalous bestseller. It was banned in Australia and branded "disgusting" by romance writer Barbara Cartland.
In 1985, her novel Hollywood Wives was made into a mini-series by ABC, starring Anthony Hopkins and Candice Bergen.
Collins said that she "never felt bashful writing about sex". "I think I've helped people's sex lives," she said.
"Sex is a driving force in the world so I don't think it's unusual that I write about sex. I try to make it erotic, too."
Collins had lost her mother, second husband and fiance to cancer.
She told the Press Association earlier this month that she had chosen to celebrate life rather than mourn those she had lost.
"I refuse to mourn people, because everybody dies," she said. "Death and taxes, you can't avoid either".
Private memorial services are due to be held for her family in both the UK and in the US. | The novelist Jackie Collins has died of breast cancer at the age of 77, her family said in a statement. | 34305950 | [

The London Taxi Company's (LTC) Ansty Park site in Coventry is the home of its new electric taxi, the TX5.
LTC - which now employs up to 1,500 people - has invested more than £300m in the TX5 after manufacturing the black cab in the UK for 69 years.
Administrators were called into LTC in 2012 before Chinese carmaker Geely bought the business the following year.

The first electric taxis to roll off the production line will go on sale in London in the final quarter of the year, before being sold around the world early in 2018.
It has been described as one of the great comeback stories in UK manufacturing history - and that is exactly what it is.
Back in 2013 London Taxis International was on its knees and looking for a new owner.
Then Chinese firm Geely came to the rescue and almost immediately announced plans to build a new factory - but not only that, it revealed plans to make electric vehicles and employ more than 1,000 people.
It is the first all-new car factory in the Midlands since 2003, when Aston Martin opened its state-of-the-art plant at Gaydon in Warwickshire. That was on a much smaller scale, though.
It is also one of the biggest single Chinese investments in the region and it shows that the West Midlands continues to lead the way when it comes to both automotive research and development and production.
LTC, previously known as LTI, started life in the 1920s, producing car bodies for Jaguar, Rolls Royce and Bentley.
It will retain its existing Holyhead Road premises in Coventry as a paint shop once the production of the existing TX4 taxi ends in the summer.
Staff have moved into the Ansty Park plant this month ahead of Wednesday's official lunchtime opening, involving company representatives.
The new site will house a research and development centre for the electric vehicle, with engineers accounting for 200 of the newly-created jobs. | A £300m taxi manufacturing plant which created 1,000 new jobs is to be officially opened later. | 39343519 | [

Centre O'Driscoll had been a doubt because of a calf problem while fly-half Sexton limped out of the Australia defeat with a hamstring injury.
Gordon D'Arcy is recalled at inside centre to resume his long-standing partnership with O'Driscoll.
Conor Murray returns at scrum-half for Sunday's game while Dave Kearney gets his first start on the left wing

Kearney replaces Fergus McFadden who will be out for several weeks after fracturing a bone in his hand against the Wallabies.
Sexton had been told by head coach Joe Schmidt that he had to train fully in Friday's session to warrant selection for the daunting test of hosting the world champions, who are unbeaten in 2013.
The 28-year-old Racing Metro player came through that challenge, to retain his starting berth after limping out of the 32-15 Australia defeat at half-time.
Former captain Brian O'Driscoll has beaten his continuing calf trouble to line up in midfield, where he will equal Ronan O'Gara's all-time Ireland caps record of 128.
It will be the 34-year-old's last match against the All Blacks before retiring at the end of the season.
Ireland have never beaten the All Blacks, with O'Driscoll on the losing side in 12 meetings.
However, coach Schmidt insisted: "In any two horse race, there are no certainties.
"It would take an exceptional performance because the All Blacks have proven very resilient as well as being a
class side.
"We have worked hard defensively and there are even more threats in the repertoire of the All Blacks than the Australians so we are going to have to be not just better, but a lot better."
New Zealand have made several changes from the team which beat England last weekend.
Aaron Cruden starts instead of fly-half Dan Carter, who went off injured at Twickenham, while Cory Jane returns on the wing.
Prop Tony Woodcock misses out because of injury as Charlie Faumuina, Andrew Hore, Wyatt Crockett form a refreshed front row.
Ireland: R Kearney, T Bowe, B O'Driscoll, G D'Arcy, D Kearney, J Sexton, C Murray; C Healy, R Best, M Ross, D Toner, P O'Connell (cpt), P O'Mahony, S O'Brien, J Heaslip.
New Zealand: I Dagg, C Jane, B Smith, M Nonu, J Savea, A Cruden, A Smith; K Read, R McCaw (cpt), S Luatua, S Whitelock, L Romano, C Faumuina, A Hore, W Crockett. | Brian O'Driscoll and Jonathan Sexton have recovered from injuries and will play for Ireland against New Zealand. | 25006544 | [

Haydn Harwood, 33, says the black spiders are in "every nook and cranny" of the outside walls of his house and garage in Llanedeyrn.
He said his wife, Kayleigh, and any family members who visit are afraid of venturing into the garden.
Tube spiders are one of the UK's largest, with bodies up 2.2cm (0.9in), with green iridescence on their jaws.
Mr Harwood first spotted the colony at his end-of-terrace home a year ago.
He said: "They are nocturnal creatures so I hadn't seen them until one night when I was outside having a cigarette because I am not allowed to smoke in the house.
"I saw something move, went in and got a flashlight and saw them all in the cracks of the walls. They were in the eaves, all along the back wall, down the side of the house and under the kitchen window.
"It is a bit of worry for our pets.
"We have two cats and a Chihuahua and it would be terrible if they got bitten by them.
Tube web spiders - Segestria florentina
He asked a friend for help to exterminate them but within three months the colony had returned.
Mr Harwood said he has asked Cardiff council for help.
Experts say the spiders originated in the Mediterranean and north Africa and made their way to Britain on cargo ships.
They believe the spiders are now able survive and spread because of the UK's increasingly mild climate. | Hundreds of green-fanged tube web spiders have taken over the back garden of a family home in Cardiff. | 29574670 | [

The Gunners had two penalty claims denied and had chances to win the game through Theo Walcott and Danny Welbeck.
Hull keeper Eldin Jakupovic made a string of saves, most notably touching Joel Campbell's free-kick on to a post.
The Tigers created little, but defended admirably to frustrate Arsene Wenger in his 100th FA Cup game as Arsenal boss.
The two sides made a total of 19 changes between them from their previous games - nine for Arsenal and 10 for Hull.
But Steve Bruce's Tigers not only ended a 14-game winning run in the FA Cup for the Gunners, they also prevented a repeat of their defeats by the Londoners in the 2014 final and last season's third round.
Relive Arsenal's draw with Hull
Media playback is not supported on this device
Arsenal's priorities undoubtedly lie elsewhere, with Wenger's side only two points off the top of the Premier League and a visit of Barcelona in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie coming up on Tuesday.
Europe is particularly pressing for the Gunners, who have failed to go past the last 16 in any of the past five seasons, which meant there was no place for key man Mesut Ozil in the squad, while Olivier Giroud and Alexis Sanchez were restricted to contributions from the bench.
Despite the team bearing little resemblance to the XI that started in the 2-1 win over Leicester City last week, the Gunners were good enough to control the game from start to finish and created enough chances to have secured a comfortable victory.
However, the draw means Arsenal are still in with a chance of becoming the first team to win three consecutive FA Cups since Blackburn Rovers accomplished the feat 130 years ago.
It is not only Arsenal who have distractions away from the FA Cup this term, as Hull continue their bid to return to the Premier League after last season's relegation.
Only Curtis Davies remained in the side from last week's draw with Brighton, and the former Aston Villa defender blocked, headed and tracked runners enthusiastically alongside Alex Bruce and Harry Maguire in a defensive three.
Hull boss Bruce could be forgiven for the pragmatism in his team selection, as his men are in the midst of a run of 10 games in 35 days, which will now become even more congested thanks to the replay.
And while his team's resilience with have pleased the former Birmingham City manager, he will also have been delighted by the performance of 16-year-old Josh Tymon, who looked confident and composed at left full-back.
Arsenal's only issue came in front of goal, as they moved the ball around with precision to carve out 24 shots - 11 on target - compared to the six shots mustered by Hull.
But they could not find a way past Jakupovic, who allowed himself a self-congratulatory moment after taking time out to watch a replay of one of his saves on the big screen at the Emirates.
January signing Elneny, making only his second start for the Gunners, put in a standout performance for the home side.
The Egypt international was always available for the ball in midfield and dictated the pace for Arsenal from the middle of the park.
And there were promising signs from 19-year-old Nigerian Iwobi, who found plenty of space behind striker Theo Walcott to attempt through balls into a congested Hull penalty area, only for the hosts to draw a blank every time.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger: "The replay is not especially good news but Hull defended very well.
"We were not incisive or accurate enough in our passing in the final third. As long as they did not concede, they maintained with how they played. We had 20 shots, 70% possession, but no goals.
"I cannot influence the referee's decisions, only the technical quality of my team. If we have no injuries, we can cope with the fixtures.
"I think FA Cup replays is a particularity of the English rules and you have to respect that."

Hull manager Steve Bruce: "I don't know when we're going to play the replay. That's added to the fixture pile-up we've got.
"We made 10 changes and we rode our luck a bit, but the team deserved it for the spirit and the 100% effort they gave.
"It bodes well when I see the strength in depth we've got, because we're going to need it.
"Josh Tymon didn't look out of his depth and it's great to see someone from the academy, from Hull, come in and wear the shirt."
Hull goalkeeper Eldin Jakupovic: "My little daughter, my father, everybody is here. We knew it would be a difficult game and would be defend all game. We got a 0-0 and I hope the replay will be the same."
Arsenal have the small matter of the visit of five-time European champions Barcelona on Tuesday, for the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie.
Hull go to Ipswich on Tuesday and then host Sheffield Wednesday on Friday in the Championship.

Land and Housing Minister Anna Tibaijuka had not shown "due diligence" when she took the money, he said.
Ms Tibaijuka, a former UN official, denies any wrongdoing.
She is a high-profile casualty in a corruption scandal that has rocked Tanzania's government and energy firms, straining relations with donors.
On 17 December, Attorney-General Frederick Werema resigned after MPs accused him of authorising the fraudulent transfer of about $120m to an energy firm.
He denied the allegation, but said he was stepping down because the controversy had "disrupted the country's political atmosphere".
Mr Kikwete, in a televised address, said the government was still investigating allegations of impropriety against Energy and Minerals Minister Sospeter Muhongo and his permanent secretary Eliakim Maswi.
The president's office later said that Mr Maswi had been suspended, pending the outcome of the probe.
Ms Tibaijuka rejected parliament's call for her resignation, saying the $1m was a donation for a school where she serves as the main fundraiser.
She accepted it in good faith and presented it to the school, she said.
However, Mr Kikwete said he had dismissed her because "one of the biggest questions raised is why this money was not paid directly to the school and was instead deposited in a personal bank account in her name," Reuters news agency quotes him as saying.
Ms Tibaijuka was the executive director of the United Nations Human Settlements Programme, before she became an MP and government minister in 2010.
Tanzania's parliament, which is dominated by the ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) party, has been putting pressure on Mr Kikwete to sack top officials accused of siphoning government money in collusion with businessmen linked to the energy sector.
An investigation by a parliamentary watchdog committee found that about $120m had been taken from an escrow account, paid to an energy firm and then given to various government ministers.
A group of 12 donors - including Japan, the UK, the World Bank and the African Development Bank - decided in October to withhold about $490m until the government took action over the alleged corruption.
Mr Kikwete took office in 2005 with a promise to tackle corruption in government. | Tanzania's President Jakaya Kikwete has fired a senior government minister accused of wrongly taking $1m (£640,000) from a businessman. | 30585980 | [

Two bugging scandals, a very bitter row over drivers' penalty points and his failure to complete a breathalyser test at a police checkpoint have kept him in the headlines.
But they are just some of the disputes he was involved in.
The minister came to power with the Fine Gael/Labour coalition in February 2011, four months after the Republic of Ireland was forced to accept a humiliating international financial bail-out.
Mr Shatter, a lawyer, was put in charge of two government departments - justice and defence.
As the Republic of Ireland introduced painful austerity measures, the new justice minister set out on a wide-ranging reform agenda, which included plans to close more than 100 police stations.
But, in May 2013, the justice minister became embroiled in a public row that generated so much attention it became popularly known as Shattergate.
The minister was taking part in a TV debate about alleged police corruption in the penalty points system, following claims officers inappropriately wiped points from the driving licences of often well-connected offenders.
His opponent in the debate was the independent parliamentarian Mick Wallace who had made claims that sports stars, journalists and others appeared to have their driving penalties waived.
Mr Shatter accused his opponent of hypocrisy. He informed viewers that Mr Wallace had himself benefited from police discretion on a penalty points offence, having been observed using his mobile phone at a set of traffic lights in Dublin.
There was no formal reprimand or police record of the event, so Mr Wallace wanted to know how the minister could have known about it.
Mr Shatter said his information source was the then police chief, Martin Callinan, resulting in more questions over the minister's close working relationship with the country's top police officer - not for the first nor last time.
Within days, the justice minister faced questions in parliament about claims he had once failed to provide an alcohol breath test at a police road checkpoint in Dublin.
In a written statement, Mr Shatter replied that he failed to complete the breathalyser test because of his asthmatic condition and was waved on by officers.
He denied he had taken alcohol before getting into his car and said he was returning home from the Irish parliament.
Under Irish law, elected members going about parliamentary business cannot be arrested.
However, Mr Shatter was then accused of abusing parliamentary privilege in refusing to submit to the breath test.
The country's main opposition party, Fianna Fáil, tabled a motion of no confidence in the justice minister, but it was defeated on 29 May 2013.
In December 2013, Mr Shatter issued an unreserved apology on behalf of the state after a major public inquiry found that Irish police officers had colluded in the IRA murders of two senior Northern Ireland policemen in 1989.
The Smithwick Tribunal investigated allegations of collusion by the country's police force, An Garda Síochána, in the killings of Royal Ulster Constabulary officers, Supt Bob Buchanan and Ch Supt Harry Breen.
The RUC officers were shot dead by the IRA as they returned from a meeting at Dundalk Garda station.
The tribunal, and indeed the murders, had preceded Mr Shatter's tenure as justice minister by many years, but he was still caught up in controversy.
In June 2011, tribunal chairman Judge Peter Smithwick accused the minister of trying to interfere with the independence of the public inquiry.
The judge, opposition politicians and unionist representatives at Stormont objected to Mr Shatter's attempt to impose deadlines on the only Troubles-related public inquiry to take place in the Republic of Ireland.
The justice minister has also had a tense relationship with the Garda Representative Association (GRA), which represents rank and file police officers.
In 2013, the GRA passed a motion of no confidence in Mr Shatter and refused to invite him to address its annual conference.
It was the first time in the GRA's history that the organisation snubbed an Irish justice minister in such a way.
Over recent months, Mr Shatter has been heavily criticised for his handling of claims that the office of the Irish police watchdog may have been bugged.
A security sweep of the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission's (GSOC) offices suggested evidence of electronic surveillance in a meeting room and a compromised wi-fi system.
The sweep was carried out last year, but details emerged months later in a Sunday Times newspaper report.
It also emerged that GSOC had not informed either the police or the justice minister about the findings of the security operation.
Mr Shatter publicly criticised the ombudsman for not informing him, but the opposition accused the minister of treating GSOC as the villain, not the victim, of the bugging controversy.
Meanwhile, the actions of two police whistleblowers, who made allegations that there was widespread abuse of the penalty points system, were described as "disgusting" by Garda Commissioner Martin Callinan.
When an independent report largely vindicated the whistleblowers, there were calls for the police chief to retract his "disgusting" remarks.
Mr Callinan refused to back down and weathered the criticism for three months. But on 25 March, he resigned unexpectedly.
Within hours, the timing of his resignation became clear as a new controversy engulfed both the police and the department of justice.
The government announced it was setting up an inquiry into revelations that telephone calls to and from many police stations had been secretly recorded, without the knowledge of either officers or callers.
It later emerged there were about 2,500 secret tapes still in existence, some dating from as far back as the 1980s.
Witnesses in criminal investigations are among those whose conversations were secretly recorded and the revelations could have major implications for current and completed court cases.
Opposition politicians repeated their calls for Mr Shatter to step down, but on 2 April, a second motion of no confidence was defeated in parliament by 95 votes to 51.
This week, the penalty points row and the Garda whistleblowers controversy came back to bite the minister.
On Tuesday, Data Protection Commissioner Billy Hawkes ruled that Mr Shatter had broken data protection laws during his TV spat with Mick Wallace.
The commissioner ruled the minister should not have disclosed personal information about Mr Wallace, namely telling viewers that the independent TD had been cautioned by police for using his mobile phone while driving.
But it was Mr Shatter's handling of the whistleblowers' case that finally caused his downfall.
On Wednesday, Taoiseach Enda Kenny told a stunned parliament that Mr Shatter had resigned following the government's receipt of a report into allegations made by Sgt Maurice McCabe.
Mr Kenny said his colleague had taken responsibility after the report criticised a number of agencies, including the police, the Department of Justice and the minister himself.
However, the man who has been dubbed the "minister for self-defence" did not leave without a parting shot.
In his resignation letter, Mr Shatter said he disputed some aspects of the report. He added that he "would have expected" the author Sean Guerin SC to interview him before reaching a conclusion.

It said the compression ignition engine was up to 30% more fuel-efficient than its current engines.
It plans to sell cars with the new engine from 2019.
Last week, Mazda said it would work with Toyota to develop electric vehicle technology and build a $1.6bn plant in the US.
Mazda research and development head Kiyoshi Fujiwara said it was imperative for the company to pursue the "ideal internal combustion engine".
"Electrification is necessary but... the internal combustion engine should come first," he said.
Mazda said the Skyactiv-X, as it is known, would be the world's first commercial petrol engine to use compression ignition.
The technology breakthrough puts the firm ahead of rivals including Daimler and General Motors that have worked on compression ignition for decades.
According to Mazda, the fuel-air mixture ignites spontaneously when compressed by the piston in the new engine.
The carmaker said the Skyactiv-X combined the advantages of petrol and diesel engines to improve efficiency.
It has no plans to supply the engine to other carmakers.
The move comes as the car industry pours massive investment into electric technology in response to stricter emissions standards around the world.
The UK will ban the sale of new petrol and diesel cars by 2040 in a bid to reduce air pollution.
In July, Volvo said all new models will have an electric motor from 2019. The Chinese-owned firm aims to sell one million electric cars by 2025.
Mazda also plans to introduce electric technology in its cars from 2019.
In theory, a compression-ignition petrol engine should have big advantages. But it isn't easy to make technology work - and some of the biggest companies, including General Motors, have already tried.
So why should a relatively small Japanese manufacturer like Mazda succeed? Well, partly because - unlike the really big players - it isn't afraid to take risks. It has done in the past.
It's the only mainstream manufacturer, for example, which has persisted with rotary engines in its cars. Like compression ignition motors, they have theoretical benefits, but create complex engineering challenges.
Mazda's rotary has had some success. The company won the Le Mans 24 Hours race with it in 1991, and the latest version was fitted in its RX-8 sportscar. Popular with drivers, it was sadly unreliable.
If the new motor is to be a success, it needs to be reliable as well as efficient. And Mazda needs to be able to persuade regulators that petrol engines still have a strong future.
It may prove to be the perfect stop-gap, as electric cars are developed and charging infrastructure is created.
Or it may turn out to be a brilliant idea, which has come to fruition just a few years too late. | Japanese carmaker Mazda has developed a more efficient petrol engine at a time when the industry steers toward electric vehicles. | 40873093 | [

On a night when Wembley paid its respects to the late Dutch legend Johan Cruyff with applause in the 14th minute, a much-changed England side slipped to a rare defeat at the national stadium.
Man-of-the-match Jamie Vardy rounded off a slick passing move to steer in Kyle Walker's cross four minutes before the interval - but Roy Hodgson's side could not protect their lead.
England's defence lived on the edge too often and were eventually punished when a sloppy passage of play led to Danny Rose handling, and Vincent Janssen scored from the spot after 50 minutes.
The big striker was then too strong for substitute Phil Jagielka, although England complained bitterly he had been fouled, before crossing for Luciano Narsingh to score the winner 13 minutes from time.
Vardy's transition from the heights he has scaled with Leicester City this season to England has been seamless - and he has stepped up a level in the two friendlies against Germany and the Netherlands.
The 29-year-old has been portrayed as both an ideal starter and the perfect impact substitute as Hodgson makes plans for Euro 2016.
Vardy has proved his capabilities for both, with an explosive 20-minute cameo in Berlin that included a brilliantly instinctive finish as part of England's comeback.
And here, he was England's outstanding performer by some distance, showing the pace and energy that has panicked Premier League defences and also skill to round off that passing move with a clinical finish before testing Dutch keeper Jeroen Zoet with a powerful rising drive.
The debate about how best to use Vardy may go on but one thing is beyond dispute - he is going to Euro 2016 and has the ability to threaten every defence in France.
In an ideal world, Everton's John Stones would have come in at Wembley to produce the sort of elegant display that became his trademark in the early seasons of his career, thus cementing his place alongside Chris Smalling for England's first Euro 2016 game against Russia in Marseille.
Instead, Wembley witnessed a 21-year-old whose confidence has been hit by a recent dip in form at club level and will need a little renovating before the serious action gets under way.
Stones twice brought murmurs of concern from England's fans inside Wembley with his tendency to perhaps over-play out of defence, but his determination to be constructive also started the passing move that led to Vardy's goal.
The young defender is a work in progress and there will be slips - quite literally when he stumbled at the start of a chain of events that led to England keeper Fraser Forster having to save well from Janssen before Rose handled to leave the striker to score from the spot.
Stones is well worth persevering with - but Hodgson must hope some of that confidence and composure returns quickly.
Hodgson warned they must not get carried away after victory in Germany - and, in case anyone ignored the warning, along comes a defeat against a Dutch team that will not even be in France this summer.
In some respects this defeat, albeit with a much-changed side, simply reinforced some of the lessons that came out of the win in Germany that was the catalyst for such a surge of optimism.
England have some very exciting options up front in the shape of Vardy and Harry Kane, while Daniel Sturridge also got a decent 57 minutes under his belt.
Questions remain, however, about a frail-looking defence with both full-back spots still up for grabs and no central-defensive pairing jumping out as Hodgson's first choice at this stage.
England certainly carry a threat but fears persist about their ability to resist attacks of the highest calibre.
Fraser Forster: Solid night for the Southampton keeper despite a couple of fumbles. Saved well from Georginio Wijnaldum and Vincent Janssen. Clear deputy to Joe Hart. 7.
Kyle Walker: Solid and quick in defence and a threat in attack with a perfect pass for Vardy to score England's goal. 7.
Chris Smalling: Part of an uncertain central-defensive partnership that once again hinted at England's frailty against attacks possessing real quality. 6.
John Stones: Not a great night for Everton's 21-year-old. Yes, his determination to play started the move for England's goal but too often caused anxiety with his tendency to overdo things and second-half slip started chain of events that led to the Dutch equaliser. 5.
Danny Rose: Not an easy night for England's defence but Rose kept going and may consider himself unlucky to be punished for the handball that led to a penalty. 6.
James Milner: Anonymous as England's captain. Milner is a solid presence but not big on inspirational moments. 5.
Danny Drinkwater: Solid debut from the Leicester City midfielder. Did himself no harm and can be happy with his debut but did he make a compelling case for inclusion in Euro 2016? Not sure. 6.
Ross Barkley: Busy first half and a trademark second-half surge that set up a chance for Adam Lallana. 6.
Adam Lallana: Decent night for the Liverpool midfielder. Clever pass played its part in England's goal and was warmly applauded when substituted. 7.
Daniel Sturridge: Once he'd stopped fiddling with his bootlaces he settled down and produced one or two moments that hint at the threat he could yet pose for England. 6.
Jamie Vardy: England's star man. Busy, scored one and could have had another. 8.
Substitutes:
Walcott (for Sturridge, 57 minutes): Odd flash of pace and one rising shot over the bar but otherwise quiet. 6.
Clyne (for Rose, 57 minutes): Not much of an opportunity and consequently not much impact. 5.
Kane (for Lallana, 70 minutes): Just a couple of half-chances but no rescue act from the man who is now England's first-choice striker. 5.
Jagielka (for Smalling, 70 minutes): Claimed he was fouled by Janssen in the lead-up to the winner but should have been stronger in that situation. 5.
Alli (for Milner, 82 minutes): No rating.
Dier (for Drinkwater, 84 minutes): No rating.
The Three Lions wait until 21 May to host Turkey, while Netherlands meet Republic of Ireland six days later.
