Fellow tenants Newport Gwent Dragons are subject to a takeover bid from the Welsh Rugby Union, who have said they see Rodney Parade "as a rugby venue."
County have a lease to use the ground - and have primacy of fixtures on the venue if they remain in the Football League - until 2023.
"Our view is quite clear - we've got a contract," Foxall said.
"That is something that we're expecting to be honoured.
"Obviously there is a vote in early May by the shareholders for Newport Rugby and we'll wait and see what happens with that."
The WRU's takeover of Newport Gwent Dragons will be put to the vote on Tuesday, 9 May.
In 2013 the Exiles agreed a 10-year lease to use the stadium after gaining promotion to the Football League from the Conference.
Newport RFC chairman Will Godfrey said both County and Newport Squash Club, who are also based at Rodney Parade, are protected under their current agreements.
Godfrey said the WRU had been made aware of that fact. The WRU have signalled their intention to install an artificial surface which is against Football League rules.
On the pitch, County are two points clear of the League Two relegation with two games remaining after six wins in 10 games under caretaker manager Mike Flynn and can clinch survival this weekend if they win and rivals Hartlepool lose.
Newport secured promotion back to the Football League in 2013 and Foxall said relegation to the National League would be a "massive" blow,
"To lose that status again, in a relatively short space of time would be pretty devastating for the fans but also for the city of Newport," Foxall told BBC Wales Today. | Newport County chairman of operations Gavin Foxall says he expects the League Two club to remain at Rodney Parade. | 39724413 | [

Police hope the scheme will help reduce financial crime by spotting scams before money has been handed over.
The plan is to train every single front-facing employee of banks, building societies and Post Offices.
Cash payments to fraudsters are typically much harder to trace than online payments with the vast majority of cases going unsolved.
Typical frauds of this kind include paying rogue builders, romance scams and elderly abuse.
'It just didn't add up'
Staff at one bank which has trialled the scheme helped stop a customer being swindled out of £13,000.
Ray, who is in his 60s, was approached by a builder at his home in London about some work on his house.
He had withdrawn £6,000 from his local branch after explaining to staff what it was going to be used for.
But when he returned a week later to take out another £13,000 he was recognised by staff member Ann-Marie.
She asked him questions about his cash withdrawal which raised suspicions.
Ray handed over the flier he had been given with the builder's contact details and staff gave him a call.
Ann-Marie added: "The person that answered wasn't very professional and the alarm bells started to ring. Plus the amount he [Ray] wanted to cash and the work he needed done just didn't add up."
Staff contacted the police who visited Ray the next day when the builder was at his property.
Officers did a background check on the builder and which uncovered suspicious activity and he was arrested.
The new scheme, known as the Banking Protocol, is aimed at ensuring banks and police are more active in protecting customers.
It is being run as a joint venture between the police, Financial Fraud Action - which represents banks - and Trading Standards.
All customer-facing bank staff will be told to look out for specific signs that a client may be the victim of ongoing fraud.
If they have suspicions, they are encouraged to call the police and give a special password.
Police trained under the protocol will also commit to investigating the fraud as a priority - often visiting the bank branch, or the customer's home, immediately.
In some cases, they may be able to catch the criminal waiting outside the bank or the victim's home to collect the cash.
Bank staff taking part in the trial scheme in London made 178 calls to police which resulted in 16 arrests.
Banks say £1.4m has already been stopped from leaving customer accounts.
Police, Financial Fraud Action and Trading Standards have hailed the trial a success.
The scheme is expected to begin in the next few weeks with the first 16 police forces trained by the end of June. | All bank staff are to be trained to spot signs that a customer may be withdrawing cash to give to a scammer. | 39166130 | [

Ashton dived over with his signature swallow celebration in a dominant second half from the home side, where Shalk Brits, Brad Barritt and Billy Vunipola also crossed.
That added to first-half tries by Jamie George, Alex Goode and Sean Maitland.
Bath could only manage a single try through Anthony Watson as they suffered their third straight defeat.
Having been competitive in the opening 40 minutes, Bath were overwhelmed in the second period and now sit three points behind fourth-placed Leicester, whom they meet in two weeks' time at Twickenham.
Saracens kept up their pursuit of a home semi-final and now lie just a point behind Exeter in second.
After George had driven over a rolling maul inside four minutes, Goode began and finished the try of the afternoon.
He freed Ashton, whose inside break sent Saracens into the 22, the move flowed towards the left-hand touchline and Goode dived over in the corner.
Ashton, who is joining Toulon in the summer, scored his two tries in the final 10 minutes as the Bath defence tired.
Saracens director of rugby Mark McCall:
"Chris was really good, you could see what a clever rugby player he is. He did a lot of things in the game that people don't give him credit for in terms of the attacking kicks used and where he pops up.
"Sean Maitland on our other wing was also good and the two of them gave performances that Warren Gatland might be interested in.
"It was a really good performance. It was a bit mixed in the first 50 minutes - we started well into a strong wind.
"The bench came on and did a fantastic job and we just took our game to a different level in that last half hour. We are going to need that against Glasgow."
Bath director of rugby Todd Blackadder:
"That was really disappointing and it's a low, but I believe we're a better team than that, we just need to show it.
"I think we're mentally strong enough, but you might look at the second half and say no at times. It didn't look like we had a lot of fight when we were going backwards.
"The answers are always within the room. We're not panicking or throwing any playbooks out, but we can't afford any more slip ups.
"Our season isn't over, although this was one of our worst performances. Destiny is still in our hands."

A long clearance from debutant goalkeeper Jonathan Mitchell eluded home defender Shaun Brisley and allowed Marriott to lob keeper Alex Cisak.
Brisley was later stretchered off and hospitalised with a head injury after receiving lengthy treatment when injured colliding with Mitchell.
Dan Potts went close to making it 2-0 after the break, but curled wide.
Leyton Orient manager Kevin Nolan told BBC Radio London:

"The most disappointing thing for me is that we conceded a very sloppy goal.
"I must admit I was quite disappointed with the referee today but I don't want to go on about that because I'll end up getting in trouble.
"I thought today we were very good, we dominated the game and didn't really give them any chances. I don't think they offered a lot going forward but they defended fantastically well."
Luton boss Nathan Jones told BBC Three Counties Radio:

"I'm massively proud in terms of what they gave me today, their endeavour, how they went about their work.
"They gave me absolutely everything today and that is all you can ask.
"There was one bit of quality in the game, Jack produced it and it won the game.
"I'm really proud of the players, I'm getting to know what they will produce. There is an equilibrium to their performances and I like that, I can work with that. It's a platform." | Jack Marriott scored the only goal of the game at Leyton Orient to extend Luton's winning run to four games. | 35675799 | [

The Royal Cornwall Hospital Trust said it was overwhelmed over Easter and is struggling to discharge patients.
A ward closed at Truro's hospital on Monday because of an outbreak of Norovirus. People are being urged to avoid A&E unless absolutely necessary.
In February, the trust declared a "black alert" for about a week.
A black alert is the highest level of alert and means hospital services are unable to cope with demand.
Dr Andy Virr from the trust said there were some issues with the NHS 111 phone system during the weekend which prevented calls getting through to the Cornwall GP service, which caused delays.
That "led to people voting with their feet and coming to A&E" which meant some patients remained on trolleys for 10 or 11 hours and operations were cancelled, he said.
Debbie Pritchard, from patient group Healthwatch Cornwall, was not surprised the alert was declared.
"There is still a lot of confusion around what services people should access out of hours," she said.
The county's Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), NHS Kernow, is now asking people to consider the most appropriate place to go for treatment when unwell.
Peter Stokes, deputy director of operations at the CCG, requested "relatives and friends be available to pick up people who have been inpatients and are ready to be discharged to free up beds". | A hospital trust in Cornwall has declared a "black alert" for the second time this year due to "extreme" pressure on its services. | 32215333 | [

The blast happened in a cafe in the town of Velez-Malaga at about 17:00 GMT during a local festival.
Pictures from the scene show severe damage to the La Bohemia cafe and debris strewn across a street.
Local newspaper La Opinion de Malaga said that the chef had raised the alarm moments before the blast.
The newspaper also reported (in Spanish) that police cars helped ferry the injured to hospital because the local ambulance service was overwhelmed with casualties.
The cause of the blast "could have been a gas leak," the town's mayor, Antonio Moreno Ferrer, told local reporters. | More than 70 people have been injured, four seriously, in an explosion caused by a suspected gas leak near the southern Spanish city of Malaga. | 37531537 | [

The incidents, which occurred overnight between Sunday and Monday, took place in Granton, Boswall, Trinity and Hawthornvale.
The cars targeted all had their windows smashed or had attempts made to smash them.
About 25 incidents have been reported to police, however there may have been other vehicles damaged.
Due to the number of incidents and the scale of the damage, officers are treating the incidents as linked and are appealing for witnesses to come forward.
Insp Shane McKenna, of Drylaw Police Station, said: "This is an appalling number of vandalisms and the sheer scale of the damage caused is completely unacceptable.
"Not only has a lot of damage and inconvenience been caused to a large number of people, it has also caused a number of police resources in the north of Edinburgh to be diverted in order to investigate.
"We are eager to trace those responsible as soon as possible. We would ask that anyone who was in the north Edinburgh area on the evening of Sunday, November 13, and saw this damage take place, to get in touch with us at their earliest convenience." | Police in Edinburgh are investigating after 25 cars were vandalised in one night across the north of the city. | 37977253 | [

Djokovic, 29, swept past seventh seed Tomas Berdych 6-3 7-5 6-3 as he bids to win his first title at Roland Garros and complete the career Grand Slam.
Williams, 34, was given a severe test by Kazakhstan's Yulia Putintseva, coming through 5-7 6-4 6-1.
The American is trying to win her 22nd Grand Slam title and equal Steffi Graf.
She will play Kiki Bertens in the last four on Friday, after the unseeded Dutch player saw off Swiss eighth seed Timea Bacsinszky 7-5 6-2.
Djokovic will face Austrian 13th seed Dominic Thiem, who beat Belgian 12th seed David Goffin 4-6 7-6 (9-7) 6-4 6-1 to reach his first Grand Slam semi-final.
Britain's Andy Murray will take on Stan Wawrinka of Switzerland in the other men's semi-final at 14:00 BST.
Williams looked out of sorts for much of her quarter-final on a gloomy afternoon, with a sparse crowd on Court Philippe Chatrier.
The champion was in deep trouble after an error-strewn set and a half, with the 5ft 4in Putintseva more than holding her own from the baseline and moving much the better in heavy conditions.
Williams made 24 unforced errors in the first set to just two from her opponent, who had never been past the third round of a Grand Slam before this week.
Putintseva then came back from 4-1 down in the second set to earn a break point at 4-4 that could have seen her serve for victory, but Williams held on and finally began to exert some control.
She worked her way to a 5-0 lead in the decider, only for Putintseva to show one more flash of defiance by saving three match points before finally succumbing.
"She's unbelievable and I didn't think I was going to win that but somehow I did," said Williams.
Djokovic had won 23 of his previous 25 matches against Berdych of the Czech Republic, and was never seriously threatened after beginning their 26th meeting in commanding fashion.
Berdych appealed for officials to take action when the rain, which has dogged this tournament, returned - but the closest Djokovic came to a quarter-final exit was a potential disqualification in the third set.
He let his racquet slip out of his hand while angrily swiping at the ground and was relieved to receive just a code violation as it narrowly missed a line judge.
"I am aware that I have been lucky," he said. "It was just some unfortunate bounce, but fortunate ending of the scenario. That's all I can say."
Djokovic was already two sets up after dominating for an hour and a half, and moments later he recovered Berdych's early break of serve in the third set.
Berdych described the tournament director's hesitance to halt play when the rain became heavier as "an absolute circus", but the delay lasted a little over 10 minutes and Djokovic soon wrapped up victory on the resumption.
BBC tennis correspondent Russell Fuller
"Djokovic has coped very well with the hand he has been dealt this week. Playing for the third day in a row, and in the knowledge he will be back in action on Friday, he was very sharp throughout against Berdych. Djokovic was fortunate, too, that the line judge saw his racquet coming and stepped out of the way, as he could have been disqualified had the racquet made contact.
"Williams was moving very sluggishly in her quarter-final. Many spectators were wrapped up in blankets to protect themselves from the chill, and the three other women left in the draw should take great heart from the way the sparky Putintseva put the world number one under so much pressure." | Top seeds Novak Djokovic and Serena Williams remain on course to make history as they both reached the semi-finals at the French Open. | 36436420 | [

The Coniston workings are sited in the south west of the Lake District National Park, below Coniston Old Man and Penny Rigg Mill.
Lake District Park adviser, Eleanor Kingston, said volunteers were needed to help with conservation and archaeological survey work.
It would give people the chance to "connect with their heritage" she said.
Copper was mined at the scheduled monument until the 1950s.
Over the next two years more than 150 repairs will be made and work carried out to stabilise structures.
Chalcopyrite, a copper iron sulphide often known as Fool's Gold, was used for 16th century weapons, coins and the hulls of ships.
German workers were brought to Coniston by Queen Elizabeth I to extract it.
At its peak in the 19th century the mine employed 600 people. | A £450,000 Heritage Lottery grant has helped secure the future of a 400-year-old copper mine in Cumbria. | 36510748 | [

The 82-year-old, who has had health problems in recent years, reportedly does not wish to remain emperor if he has to reduce his official duties.
But a palace spokesman denied that there is any official plan for the monarch to abdicate in what would be an unprecedented move in modern Japan.
Crown Prince Naruhito, 56, is next in line to the Chrysanthemum Throne.
An unnamed government source told Japan's Kyodo news agency that the emperor, who plays a largely ceremonial role but is respected deeply by many Japanese, has been contemplating the move for about a year.
His family had accepted his decision, an unnamed palace source told NHK.
However, both palace and government sources say the Imperial Household Law would have to revised to allow for the abdication to take place.
A change to the Imperial Household Law, which stipulates the rules of succession, would require approval by Japan's parliament.
Despite a categorical denial of the reports by imperial palace spokesman Shinichiro Yamamoto, the emperor's reported wishes are being given prominent attention in the Japanese media.
Emperor Akihito has been admired for distancing the monarchy from its association with the aggressive nationalism of World War Two.
In 1989 he succeeded his father, Hirohito, who had had the status of a living god in Japan until he was stripped of that role by the victorious Americans who wrote the country's post-war constitution.
Emperor Akihito had surgery for prostate cancer in 2003 and a heart bypass operation four years ago.
In 2011, he took the highly unusual step of making a televised national address following the devastating earthquake and tsunami at Fukushima.

The Spaniard, who won the title in 2009, came through 4-6 6-3 6-7 (5-7) 6-3 6-2 in four hours and six minutes.
Zverev, 19, had recovered a break early in the final set before requiring treatment for cramp.
Nadal, 30, goes on to face France's Gael Monfils, who beat German Philipp Kohlschreiber 6-3 7-6 (7-1) 6-4.
Canadian third seed Milos Raonic made it through to the last 16 with a 6-2 7-6 (7-5) 3-6 6-3 win over Frenchman Gilles Simon.
Zverev has long been touted as a future world number one and it appeared as though he would make his Grand Slam breakthrough against Nadal.
The teenager's big serve and brilliant backhand earned him a 2-1 lead after three sets, only for ninth seed Nadal to battle his way back in characteristic fashion.
It is almost three years since Nadal won his 14th major title at the 2014 French Open, and that was the last time he got past the quarter-finals at a Grand Slam.
Injuries have taken their toll, but it was Zverev whose fitness failed him in the closing stages on Rod Laver Arena.
The German won a gruelling 37-shot early in the final set but the damage was done as he could not recover fully, despite treatment from the trainer.
"I won by fighting and running a lot," said Nadal. "I think everybody knows how good Alexander is. He's the future of our sport and the present too.
"It's been a very tough match for me. I didn't start playing my best and I was not feeling very well because I was losing too much court. When I felt I was feeling better I had more time to control from the baseline.
"It was a close one but he deserved to play a little more aggressive than me. I had to fight for every point."
Denis Istomin, the qualifier from Uzbekistan who stunned Novak Djokovic in round two, produced another superb effort to beat Spanish 30th seed Pablo Carreno Busta 6-4 4-6 6-4 4-6 6-2.
He will next play the winner of Saturday's late match between Grigor Dimitrov and Richard Gasquet.
Belgian 11th seed David Goffin impressed with a 6-3 6-2 6-4 win over Croatia's Ivo Karlovic, setting up a clash with Austrian eighth seed Dominic Thiem, who beat Frenchman Benoit Paire 6-1 4-6 6-4 6-4.
Thirteenth seed Roberto Bautista won the all-Spanish battle with 21st seed David Ferrer 7-5 6-7 (6-8) 7-6 (7-3) 6-4 and next faces Raonic. | Former champion Rafael Nadal overcame rising star Alexander Zverev in a gripping contest to reach the fourth round of the Australian Open. | 38702869 | [

The 60-year-old man was scuba diving at Agincourt Reef in Far North Queensland when he was seen to be in trouble, tour operator Quicksilver said.
The tourist, a certified diver, was helped to the surface but could not be revived.
It comes after two French tourists died while snorkelling on the reef at Michaelmas Cay on Wednesday.
They are both believed to have suffered cardiac arrests.
Paramedics were alerted to the latest tragedy just after 12.30 local time (01:30 GMT) on Friday.
"CPR was performed on a male patient in his sixties by a nurse on board a vessel and subsequently by a doctor," a Queensland Ambulance spokeswoman said.
The Association of Marine Park Tourism Operators (AMPTO) said the alarm was raised when the diver was spotted without a regulator in his mouth 15m (49ft) below sea level on the ocean floor.
"We're not sure as to what has happened at this stage," a Quicksilver spokeswoman said.
The man was travelling with his wife. It was his second dive of the day from a boat called Silver Sonic.
AMPTO executive director Col McKenzie said the boat was carrying oxygen and defibrillation equipment and had operated for 11 years without serious incident.
"Accidents like this are a tragedy for the surviving family members, the crew and the passengers," he said.
Agincourt Reef is about 100km (62 miles) north of the city of Cairns, and about 60km north of Michaelmas Cay. | A British tourist has become the third person this week to die on Australia's Great Barrier Reef. | 38022380 | [

Severnside Provisions, of Leeway Industrial Estate, was also ordered to pay £400,000 at the city's crown court on Friday.
Directors Anthony O'Sullivan, 47, and Martin Lincoln, 46, were given 24-week terms after admitting 12 offences.
An investigation was launched in December 2013.
In a statement, Newport city council said the pair were warned in 2010 that their company was not permitted to carry out turkey processing.
However, it said records showed that large quantities of meat was sold by Severnside Provisions in 2011, 2012 and 2013.
After an investigation started, environmental health officers found large quantities of turkey defrosting outside in dirty water and being processed in a garage in "unhygienic conditions".
Items seized were destroyed but the Food Standards Agency launched a national recall after finding turkeys had already been sold to butchers' shops and restaurants.
The council said O'Sullivan and Lincoln had admitted 12 food hygiene offences, including that they sold food that was unsafe and failed to keep equipment clean.
As well as being jailed, the two directors were ordered to pay a confiscation award of £271,815 under the Proceeds of Crime Act and council costs of £35,185.
The company was also fined £100,000.
Newport councillor Bob Poole said: "This company was putting people's health at serious risk for the sake of profit." | Turkey processing firm bosses have been jailed after leaving large amounts of meat defrosting in dirty water before selling it, Newport council has said. | 36557380 | [

Mr Pena Nieto said he had made a commitment to help 300 artisans who had stalls at the San Pablito fireworks market and had lost their livelihoods.
The disaster in the city of Tultepec has killed 35 people and injured another 70.
The market has been burned to the ground three times in the past decade.
"We made a commitment to support everyone, the 300 stall owners of that market to recover and support them so that they can continue their activities next year normally," said Mr Pena Nieto during a visit to survivors in hospital.
The cause of Tuesday's explosions is yet not clear.
Most of the 35 people killed are so badly burned their bodies will have to be identified using DNA testing.
Some of the victims were taken to a specialised hospital in the US city of Galveston, Texas.
Video from the scene showed a large number of fireworks rocketing into the air as they caught fire.
Fireworks continued to explode after the initial blast, as smoke billowed from the area in thick black clouds.
The market had contained up to 300 tonnes of fireworks, Mexican media reported.
The economy of Tultepec relies heavily on the pyrotechnics industry. The city lies north of the capital Mexico City.
The authorities promised to "defend the livelihoods" of the people who worked at the market and support them until it is rebuilt.
"The artisans are not alone," said Mexico state Governor Eruviel Avila. | Mexico's President Enrique Pena Nieto has promised to rebuild an open-air fireworks market destroyed by a series of huge explosions on Tuesday. | 38412126 | [

When someone has a cigarette they inhale smoke - but this smoke is also breathed in by everyone else around them - and this is called passive smoking.
Medical research suggests the effects of passive smoking on children cost the NHS £23m a year.
It leads to 300,000 doctor visits and 9,500 hospital admissions annually and can cause breathing-related problems and other illnesses.
Public Health England - the government body responsible for encouraging healthy lifestyles - found that three-quarters of smoking parents were shocked by the statistics.
We asked you whether it bothers you when adults smoke around you.
Do you worry about the effects on your health? Or do you think it's not a problem?
This chat page has now closed but you can read a selection of your comments below
"It annoys me when adults smoke because when I take my little sister to the park there are always adults smoking near it. I try to run past them so I don't have to breath it in."
Leah, Surrey, England
"My next door neighbour smokes and his wife only allows him to smoke outside in his garden. As my bedroom is overlooking his garden whenever I open my window I only get the smell of smoke and not fresh air because he is outside all of the time. I am never going to smoke because of this annoying experience."
Isabel, London, England
"It really bothers me when people nearby smoke because I have asthma so I'm scared it might affect my health. When someone is smoking nearby, I hold my breath and walk as a fast as possible to get away from them."
Kaoutar, Manchester, England
"I hate it when people smoke around me. It's just a dirty and horrible habit and it should make smokers feel dirty and smelly."
Beth, Stoke, England
"It's extremely bad and can cause loads of diseases and can be bad for the environment as it is made of poisons and also it is bad for the smoker. I feel really sorry for smokers."
Jason, Lewisham, England
"Smoking is an unpleasant thing to do. I usually hold my breath while I walk past someone who's smoking."

Hannah, Manchester, England
"There is a ban on smoking in public places but what constitutes a public place? Surely not just restaurants, pubs, transport. What could be more public than walking on the pavement? Smoking stinks, is really antisocial, the streets are filthy with butts and as an asthma sufferer it literally makes me sick. Kill smoking, not those passing by."
Sue, London, England
"I hate it when people smoke in front of me and then chuck the butts on the floor for people to tread on!"
Lydia, England
"It's ok when they smoke outside but when they smoke inside it's bad for the people who are around them because they breathe it in and also they make the house smell."
Clairmond, Essex, England
"I hate to breathe it in it makes me cough and feel sick. It gives children the idea to smoke so stop smoking it is bad for you and your surroundings. It is bad bad bad."
Charlie, Dagenham, England
"I hate when my mum smokes and I try telling her to stop but she doesn't listen to me. I don't like how it smells or what it does to your lungs. I think the factories should stop making cigarettes and shops to stop selling them."
Cristi, Morecambe, England
"Yes it bothers me, I have to hold my breath until I can't smell it."
Madeline, London, England
"I think it is bad because it can do harm to your body and when someone is smoking I just try to hold my breath."
Marley, Herts, England
"I don't mind smoking. Some of my friends smoke at school and I hang around with them, but I know that I could never smoke."
Oliver, Reading, England
"I'm glad that my parents don't smoke because if you breathe in smoke from cigarettes it's just as bad as actually smoking!"
Sally, Manchester, England
"It really stinks and always makes me cough. Smoking should be banned there is no positive from it except it makes money but that is a selfish reason. Also it costs the NHS money to treat diseases that were caused by smoking!!!"

Lily, Surrey, England
"I cant stand it! I don't know why anyone would want to smoke!"
Emily, Aberdeenshire, Scotland

"I think that smoking is terrible. You shouldn't smoke around children because they could get the wrong impression."
Laura, Kent, England
"When I pass someone who is smoking I have to hold my breath and that annoys me because if I don't I get a breath full of smoke and I feel like I'm choking."
Holly, London, England
"It bothers me because when my mum smokes I breathe it in which causes me to cough. I think more measures should be put in places where you can and cannot smoke."
Stephanie, Norfolk, England
"I don't mind because if your parents, like my dad, smoke outside it doesn't bother anyone."
Emily, London, England
"It does bother me because it smells really bad and if people are near you when they're smoking you can't help breathing it in."
Amy, Norwich, England
"Yes, it does. It is bad for their health and children around them. It smells horrible!"

In 2013 a working group, set up by the Scottish government, recommended eligible couples should be offered up to three treatments.
But that would only be after health boards had reduced IVF waiting times.
Infertility Network UK said it was a "no-brainer" there should now be three cycles as waiting times have fallen.
New IVF criteria was introduced in July 2013, following recommendations by the National Infertility Working Group.
The changes were designed to standardise fertility treatment across Scotland to prevent a "postcode lottery".
Giving evidence to Holyrood's health committee, the charity's chief executive Susan Seenan said: "The group recommended three cycles and said that once the waiting times were down to below 12 months, at the latest early 2015, they would consider moving to three cycles.
"It just doesn't seem to be happening as fast as we would like it to.
"We just think now that the waiting times are down, that it is a no-brainer - we should move to offering everybody who is eligible three cycles."
Susan Seenan added: "Everybody in the group was agreed that...three cycles was the best possible way to move forward for patients.
"Why anybody would not want to move forward with that, I have no idea, unless it is finance related."
A spokeswoman for the Scottish government said Scotland was "leading the way" in the provision of NHS IVF treatment, with £12m of investment over the last three years.
She said the number of IVF cycles that couples were entitled to was under review.
The spokeswoman added: "The reconvened expert group has met twice and its review will consider a range of issues, including the number of IVF cycles, to ensure access to IVF treatments remains fair, reliable and timely.
"The views of patients and our stakeholders, including Infertility Network Scotland who are part of the Infertility Group, will be instrumental to this process, along with data collection and modelling."
Fertility treatment is currently available to those under 40, and is not offered to women who are obese.
In addition, couples need to have been in a stable relationship for two years and neither partner can smoke for three months before treatment begins.
Both partners also need to be methadone-free for a year before IVF starts.
Women aged between 40 and 42 are eligible for one cycle of fertility treatment if they have never previously undergone the procedure. | A charity is calling for couples in Scotland who need help conceiving to have access to three cycles of IVF instead of two. | 32037509 | [

Ms Evans, who is currently suspended from UKIP, said she would "very much like" to run but a "handful of people at the top" had ensured she could not.
Ms Evans' six-month ban for bringing the party into disrepute - claims she has dismissed - means she cannot stand.
She said she would back councillor Lisa Duffy to succeed Nigel Farage.
Ms Evans said UKIP needed to "break free of its hard-right image and set itself firmly in the common sense centre-ground" and also conduct some "internal reform".
The leadership contest has been prompted by Mr Farage's decision to stand down following the UK's vote to leave the European Union, saying his "political ambition has been achieved".
In a statement in Westminster, Ms Evans, who had been touted as a possible successor, said: "I'd very much like to run in that election.
"Unfortunately there are a handful of people at the top of UKIP who, for whatever personal reasons of their own, have made quite sure I can't."
She claimed the party rulebook had been "abused" to suspend her to prevent her from representing the party in May's London Assembly elections and the upcoming leadership contest.
Her six-month suspension handed down in March came after an internal disciplinary meeting found she had publicly criticised a fellow candidate and held herself out as a party spokeswoman without authority.
Ms Evans - who has always rejected the claims against her - lost a High Court bid to overturn the decision.
In the statement, she said: "I have to face up to reality, there's no way they're going to allow me to put my name on the ballot paper... I've now given up hope of becoming the next leader of UKIP."
Ms Evans said she had questioned whether to stay on in a party that "allows, and arguably encourages senior figures to behave like this", but she said the support from members had made her "more determined ever not to give up on UKIP".
She also said that with the right leader, the "sky was the limit for the party".
Endorsing Lisa Duffy, a district councillor for Ramsey in Cambridgeshire, Ms Evans said she was "the best chance" UKIP had to "change, to grow and to thrive".
She said UKIP needed "a clean break from the past" to become more like a political party than "just a rugby club on tour".
Under Ms Duffy's leadership, she argued, the party would be "more united and consensual".
Prior to her suspension Ms Evans wrote UKIP's 2015 general election manifesto. She was axed from her policy role in the party in-fighting which followed Mr Farage's "unresignation" after the general election.
Mr Farage has denied her ban was due to criticism of him. | UKIP ex-deputy chairwoman Suzanne Evans says she has given up hope of becoming the party's next leader - but insists she will not "give up" on UKIP. | 36892561 | [

Sam Simmonds was forced over as the clock wound down to deny Sarries, who beat Clermont to win the Champions Cup last Saturday, in a tense semi-final.
Jack Nowell's try put Chiefs ahead after it was 6-6 at half-time, but Chris Wyles' try brought Saracens back.
Mike Ellery put Sarries in front on 76 minutes, before Simmonds' heroics.
The last-gasp victory gained revenge for Exeter, who had lost out to Saracens in their first Premiership final 12 months ago, while extending the Chiefs' unbeaten league run to 16 matches.
Two early Owen Farrell penalties were cancelled out by Gareth Steenson's two three-pointers as both sides had great chances to score in the opening half.
First Wyles was denied by a last-ditch Nowell interception, and then Thomas Waldrom was held up by the Saracens defence as he went over the line.
But straight after the break Exeter hit their straps, Nowell finishing off after Phil Dollman had broken through before setting Ollie Devoto away.
The home side's dogged defence kept Saracens, who lost former England winger Chris Ashton to an early injury, at bay.
But Mark McCall's side always looked dangerous with ball in hand, and so it proved as Wyles went over in the left corner after a delayed pass from Maro Itoje with 23 minutes left.
Ellery, who had replaced Ashton, had the Saracens coaching staff leaping for joy when he cart-wheeled over the line despite the desperate efforts of Nowell and Michele Campagnaro to stop him.
But England's Henry Slade, on as a replacement, blasted a perfect penalty deep into the Saracens 22 and Exeter secured the resulting line-out, allowing the Chiefs to drive academy graduate Simmonds over for the decisive score.
Could Exeter become the ninth team to be crowned champions of England?
If so, it would cap a seismic rise up rugby union's league system. Promoted to the top flight in 2010 under the guidance of Rob Baxter and assistant Ali Hepher, the Chiefs have gradually built a side greater than the sum of its parts.
Only seven of their starters have played any international rugby, while in contrast just two of the Saracens side - Michael Rhodes and Jackson Wray - had never featured for their country.
But a combination of home-grown stars, such as England's Nowell, Slade and Luke Cowan-Dickie, a sprinkling of international imports such as Waldrom and the experience of players like Ben Moon, Dollman and Steenson - who were all part of that promotion-winning side - has proved to be incredibly successful at home.
Whatever the result in next week's final, Exeter have established themselves as a force in the domestic game.
Exeter Chiefs forwards coach Rob Hunter:
"The biggest challenge we've got now, certainly from a coaching point of view, is that you almost instantly go 'we've not just won the Premiership, what we've just won is the semi-final'.
"So you do very quickly get through that and our biggest job now is not pretending we're champions.
"We've beaten the European champions, we've beaten a very good side, but we've got to beat one of these two (Wasps and Leicester) to win it, so it means nothing if we go there next week and we don't perform."
Saracens director of rugby Mark McCall:
"That was one of the great kicks of all time from Henry Slade - if he puts that somewhere else I'm probably stood here taking about one of the great wins and one of the great fights from a team who are a little bit tired.
"We're sad, of course we are, and it's going to be painful, but we can be unbelievably proud of the qualities that showed during that second half.
"I'm pleased that we showed the fight, we didn't do much wrong to lose the match, to be honest."
Exeter: Dollman; Nowell, Whitten, Devoto, Short; Steenson (capt), Townsend; Moon, Cowan-Dickie, Williams, Dennis, Parling, Horstmann, Armand, Waldrom.

It was the famous Fairfield yard which took the Upper Clyde to great heights and worldwide prominence.
The yard was founded in 1864 by William Elder, a talented marine engineer who developed the compound engine which transformed shipbuilding by allowing vessels to use fuel more efficiently and travel further.
Under William Pearce from 1888, the company flourished, building luxurious ocean liners, steamers and naval ships for the world.
At its peak before World War 1, the Fairfield shipyard was part of a local industry which directly employed 70,000 workers in 19 yards.
The largest crane in the world, with a maximum lift capacity of 250 tons, was built at the Govan yard in 1911 and in the following year Fairfield had 12 ships under construction at the same time.
The inter-war years saw a gradual decline but Clydeside's largest shipyard still built many famous ships and during wartime it was a major builder for the Royal Navy.
But after World War 2, the decline set in swiftly and despite a major modernisation programme in the 1950s the yards of the Clyde were unable to compete with new shipbuilding superpowers such as Japan.
By 1967 the receivers were called in and it looked as if the end had come for Fairfield and for shipbuilding in Govan.
Sean Connery, at the height of his James Bond fame, made a documentary about problems besetting the yard, entitled The Bowler and the Bunnet.
Among the footage of a community on the edge of oblivion was Connery riding a bicycle around empty shipyard fabrication sheds.
The UK government's response to the crisis was to create the Upper Clyde Shipbuilders (UCS) in 1968, which had about 8,500 workers in five yards - Fairfield's and Stephens on the south bank, Connel's and Yarrow's on the north bank, and John Brown's at Clydebank.
In 1971 UCS went into receivership and was refused a government loan. This led to one of the most famous episodes in industrial history - the work-in.
The unions, led by Jimmy Reid and Jimmy Airlie, occupied the yard and made a demand of the then Conservative prime minister Edward Heath for the "right to work".
In February 1972, the government agreed to retain two yards, Yarrow at Scotstoun and Fairfield's at Govan.
Fairfield's was formed into Govan Shipbuilders in 1972, which was itself later nationalised and subsumed into British Shipbuilders in 1977.
The government of Margaret Thatcher broke up British Shipbuilders and denationalised it in 1988, when the former Fairfield yard was sold to the Norwegian Kvaerner group.
Kvaerner took the yard through another modernisation programme to enable it to specialise in the construction of liquefied natural gas and chemical tankers.
But in the late 1990s, the market became depressed and the yard had to find alternative contracts.
The yard passed to BAE Systems in 1999 and has found work over the past decade making destroyers and aircraft carriers for the Royal Navy.
BAE is a key partner in the construction of the two Queen Elizabeth class aircraft carriers being built at the Portsmouth yard and in Scotland.
However, after their construction is complete, there is only expected to be the need for one centre for naval shipbuilding in the UK to build the next generation of Type 26 frigates.
The Clyde aircraft carrier work is due to finish in 2015. It is still not clear where Type 26 frigates will be built. There are no other orders on books.

The Lions face in-form Super Rugby side Crusaders on Saturday after narrowly beating Provincial Barbarians and losing 22-16 to Blues.
Wales wing North, 24, is one of four Lions making their first appearances of the tour in Canterbury.
"It's all about building for the Test series but we need to start kicking on now," North said.
"After this everyone will have had some game time so everyone's foot is in the door and playing now and I think we can kick on."
North scored two tries in the 2013 series which saw the Lions beat Australia 2-1 - their first Test series win in 16 years.
The Northampton Saints player sat out the opening two matches along with centre Jonathan Davies, scrum-half Conor Murray and flanker Sean O'Brien.

North said he was carrying a "bump" when he arrived in New Zealand, but admits it was not easy watching from the sidelines.
"The Lions is the pinnacle and to not feature in the first two games is annoying because, like anybody, you just want to play," added North.
"But it's just part of touring isn't it? It's the bigger picture now, I knew I'd get my game time as and when and I just have to trust the medical staff and trust Gats [coach Warren Gatland] to make those calls and just be ready for it."
Crusaders are the form team in Super Rugby this season, with 14 wins in as many matches and field a team including eight All Blacks against the Lions.
North said the quality of the opposition has been no surprise to the tourists and believes it is better to be tested early on the tour than have the relatively easy introduction they had in Australia four years ago.
"We always knew the first few games were going to be ropey and not how we want to play," said North.
"And I think that was evident in 2013 as well, even though at the same stage we'd won two out of two the performances were not what we'd hoped for.
"I think the way we are now is probably better.
"You want to be tested in every game don't you? If you get that you become a better team as you go along."
And the much-talked-about itinerary means Gatland's men have no time to rest. They face Highlanders on 13 June before the Maori All Blacks on 17 June.
Those games are followed by three Tests on consecutive Saturdays against world champions New Zealand, which are North's targets.
"For me and with an eye to the the Test series I have to make sure when I get my chance I play well," he added.
"It's not just about the wings against us but quality wings we have in our own squad.
"I have to make sure I take my chance and really kick on." | George North believes the British and Irish Lions must "kick on" after a tough start to their New Zealand tour. | 40219532 | [

William Stuart, 10, from Etchingham, East Sussex has autism and a condition called global developmental delay (GDD) and cannot speak.
His family said the stolen iPad was his only way of communicating and without it he is more isolated than ever.
Sussex Police has appealed for information to help find the iPad.
The theft of the device, which was loaded with communication software Proloquo, was discovered on Tuesday.
Two TVs and an Xbox 360 were also stolen from the family's home in Burgh Hill.
"The iPad was William's only form of communication with the outside world and with us in particular," said his father Alastair.
"He is becoming more anxious and closed and is expressing his frustration in terms of anger and crying."
Senior lecturer in special education Dr Amelia Roberts said that when someone with autism loses their means of communication it is a devastating change for them.
"People with autism don't cope with change very well so from his perspective his world will now be turned upside down," she said. | The family of a disabled boy have spoken of their distress after burglars stole an adapted computer which they say is a lifeline for their son. | 32440764 | [

In a long-awaited report, the UN human rights office accused both sides of atrocities, especially during the final stages of the war in 2009.
In response Sri Lanka promised a local inquiry but will not allow the proposed court, which would have foreign judges.
One UN estimate is that 40,000 Tamils died in the final army offensive.
In the government's reaction to the report, there appears to be one major shift. Cabinet spokesman Rajitha Senaratne told the BBC that ex-President Rajapaksa and his family would not necessarily be protected if there were allegations of serious crimes against them.
"Where even the president or other commanders or defence secretaries - whoever - is involved, our government is ready to take action."
But otherwise Colombo is sticking to its line that a Sri Lankan process, with nothing more international than advice, will suffice. He said a series of domestic commissions, including a South Africa-style Truth Commission, will be set up "to clear the name of the country".
That is not compatible with the hard-hitting UN report. Its main thrust is that a hybrid - part-international, part-Sri Lankan - tribunal is needed, because "years of denials and cover-ups" mean the Sri Lankan system is "not yet ready to handle these types of crime".
Earlier this week Sri Lanka's new government unveiled plans to set up a truth and reconciliation commission to examine war crimes allegations, including those against the military.
The previous government of President Mahinda Rajapaksa had resisted international pressure to investigate the issue.
Unveiling the report in Geneva, UN Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein said only a special court with international magistrates and investigators would be up to the huge task of examining the alleged crimes over a nine year period up to 2011.
"Our investigation has laid bare the horrific level of violations and abuses that occurred in Sri Lanka, including indiscriminate shelling, extrajudicial killings, enforced disappearances, harrowing accounts of torture and sexual violence, recruitment of children and other grave crimes," he said.
He also called on the Sri Lankan government to remove from office anyone if there were credible grounds to believe they had committed human rights abuses.
The report's main findings include:
The report said forced recruitment by the rebels would, if proven in court, be a war crime. The denial of humanitarian assistance - which it said the government might be guilty of - could also constitute a war crime.
Senior Sri Lankan minister Rajitha Senaratne told the BBC: "Our stand on war crimes is we need an internationally accepted local inquiry. We are not ready to agree with the international inquiries."
Despite its promises to pursue accountability, the government elected last month would be reluctant to hold war-crimes trials, correspondents say.
The BBC's Azzam Ameen in Colombo says most among the majority Sinhalese community opposed prosecuting troops.
Some Tamil politicians in the north back a UN-led inquiry and say they have no faith in a domestic process.
The final months of the war saw hundreds of thousands of Tamil civilians trapped in territory held by the Tamil Tigers (LTTE) in the north-east.
While government forces were accused of indiscriminate shelling leading to massive casualties, the Tamil Tiger rebels were alleged to have used civilians as human shields and shot people trying to escape.
Allegations persist to this day that the army killed rebel leaders and others after they surrendered or were captured - and the UN admitted in 2012 that it could and should have done more to protect civilians.
As well as the thousands of Tamils who died in the final battles near Mullaitivu, many others are still missing.
The UN human rights office postponed the planned publication of its report in March, after Mr Rajapaksa lost the presidential election to party rival Maithripala Sirisena in January.
Mr Sirisena, who served as a government minister during the final stages of the war, had promised to co-operate with the UN.
The Rajapaksa government held its own commission into what happened in the last years of the war, but critics said it lacked credibility.
The 26-year war left at least 100,000 people dead. There are still no confirmed figures for tens of thousands of civilian deaths in the last months of battle.
Channel 4 and the UN have documented numerous atrocities committed during the war.
One investigation said it was possible up to 40,000 people had been killed in the final five months alone. Others suggest the number of deaths could be even higher. | The United Nations has called for a special court to try war crimes committed during the Sri Lankan army's long conflict with Tamil Tiger rebels. | 34266471 | [

Inciting people to harass others online, known as virtual mobbing, could also result in court action, under new Crown Prosecution Service guidance.
The director of public prosecutions said it means the CPS would prosecute just as if offences occurred offline.
But she stressed this did not mean prosecutors could "stifle free speech".
The new guidance aims to help police identify online crimes more easily.
It also highlights those who post people's personal information, such as bank details - known as doxxing.
Speaking to BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Director of Public Prosecutions Alison Saunders said: "The internet's not an anonymous place where people can post without any consequences. People should think about their own conduct.
"If you are grossly abusive to people, if you are bullying or harassing people online, then we will prosecute in the same way as if you did it offline."
However, Ms Saunders said context will be an important factor in decisions - for example "if you're offensive, the legislation would say you have to be grossly offensive, and that's quite a high test".
One woman, who wished to remain anonymous, said she and her daughter, who has Down's Syndrome, had suffered such severe online abuse over the last six years that they had to move house three times.
The abuse started, she said, when a friend wrote a book about trolls - anonymously but mentioning her by name.
"The trolls photoshopped images of myself and my daughter on to pornography and posted it on Facebook. They have said I'm a paedophile and called her hateful names like mongoloid; they even set up a website in her name."
The woman believes the trolls kept getting hold of her details using official forms she submitted when complaining at the use of images of her daughter.
"Even after we moved, they have called us at three of four in the morning threatening to petrol-bomb our house if we will not give up the name of the author.
"It's been horrific - this trolling is not free speech; it's hate speech," she said.
She added that one of the men stood outside the family home and followed her daughter to school, taking pictures.
The incidents are now being investigated by police.
Kevin Healey told the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme he had been abused online for five years over his autism campaign work.
He said: "Not even one troll has been prosecuted or jailed, even though I have made complaints to Twitter and the police.
"It's been a nightmare; it's been horrific - it doesn't go away. It's with you 24 hours and seven days a week, there's no escape from it".
Mr Healey said he doesn't think the changes will make any difference and wants changes to legislation in the UK - and abroad.
"With the laws in the UK, if someone is trolling you from outside the UK - and my last batch of trolls were from the US - the police said we can't do anything," he added.
The CPS says it will use "considerable caution" before charging those posting "grossly offensive" material.
The changes come after a report found that one in four teenagers is abused online over their sexual orientation, race, religion, gender or disability.
The CPS also said underage "sexting" between consenting children in a relationship should not be prosecuted, but cases which involve "exploitation, grooming or bullying" may lead to legal action.
Ms Saunders told the BBC: "If they are children, they are the same age, there's no suggestion or any coercion or bad motives, then we would not expect that case to be prosecuted. It shows you how careful you have to be about the context of it," she said.
Asked about whether guidelines on misogynistic hate crimes would be introduced, Ms Saunders said: "We probably need to think about it."
A new law on revenge porn - someone uploading explicit images or film of a former partner to humiliate or embarrass them - has led to the prosecution of 206 people across England and Wales since its introduction in April 2015.
The public policy statements on hate crime will be subject to public consultation for 13 weeks. | Internet trolls who create derogatory hashtags or doctored images to humiliate others could face prosecution in England and Wales. | 37601431 | [

The Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond's visit to Tripoli is intended to provide visible international backing for the fledgling Government of National Accord.
He also arrived with further practical assistance; £10m-worth of aid, in part intended to combat people smuggling and terrorism.
Guide to key Libyan militias
Here then is the fundamental driver for Britain's renewed engagement with Libya (and indeed for that of other key European Union partners like France and Italy).
Libya's problems of instability are creating new ungoverned spaces in which so-called Islamic State (IS) is taking root.
The refugee crisis and trafficking of people is compounding the European Union's wider problems as refugees sometimes literally wash up on its shores.
The real question though is why now? Why has a British foreign secretary returned to Tripoli - the first visit since 2011?
And secondly what exactly are the parameters of this relationship, how far will British (and European) support go and to what extent will it have an explicitly military dimension?
The timing is the easiest to answer. The chaos in Libya has spawned two competing governments and a plethora of armed militias.
But the new UN-backed Government of National Accord, which recently set up shop in Tripoli under Fayez Sarraj, is seen as the best, albeit slim, chance of establishing some order in the country.
However, given its origins in the UN process, outside assistance carries a risk - a danger that the new government will not be seen as an outgrowth of Libyan aspirations but as something emanating from outside.
Despite the risks, the new government needs lots of help to put down roots in unpromising terrain.
Britain has been giving aid - and is going to be giving more aid. Funds will go to tackling illegal migration, smuggling and organised crime as well as counter-terrorism.
But what about practical assistance? There are persistent reports that British special forces are on the ground in Libya to counter IS.
Indeed their French counterparts have been far less successful in evading the media spotlight. Their presence was spectacularly "outed" by the French newspaper Le Monde back in February.
Special Forces are one thing but regular combat troops quite another. For some time there has been discussion about deploying a 6,000-strong European force to Libya under Italian command.
This would secure the airport in Tripoli and use this as a base to train up the Libyan military.
This proposed mission has drawn strong criticism from the Chairman of the House of Commons Foreign Affairs Committee, Crispin Blunt, who has warned that such troops could simply become targets for local militias and IS.
The British Government has been less than explicit in responding to Mr Blunt, largely taking refuge in assertions that no decisions have been taken and that no request has yet come from the new Libyan government itself.
Some kind of training may be needed and Britain is likely to play a role. An earlier effort that brought Libyan personnel to Britain ended in controversy when some of the Libyan students were found guilty of rape and other sex attacks.
Indeed their behaviour terrorised the neighbourhood and led to their prompt return to Libya.
But some kind of training assistance will be required, for the police, coastguard, and Libya's military.
The EU is likely to coordinate a significant proportion of this and it's not clear yet how much of this will take place inside Libya or in a neighbouring country - Tunisia for instance.
There could also be pressure on the Libyan government to allow international naval forces to enter Libyan territorial waters to help combat people smuggling. This could give Britain an expanded naval role.
Much will depend upon exactly what the Government of National Accord thinks it needs.
Libya's instability is now though a key threat to southern Europe and beyond.
Thus if the new government can consolidate its position it will be very difficult for the key European military players - like Britain - to refuse assistance. | After playing a leading part in the Western air campaign that helped to oust the Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi in 2011, Britain is once again pushing to play a leading role in bringing stability to Libya's shattered society. | 36075789 | [

Wales start their Six Nations campaign in Italy on 5 February with Warburton endorsing interim head coach Rob Howley's decision to appoint Jones.
Warburton, 28, has led Wales a record 49 times since being handed the captaincy by Warren Gatland in 2011.
"It's been lovely while I've done it but I can enjoy my rugby without it," said Warburton.
"It allows me to have a little bit more freedom.
"There comes a time in your career you need to focus on yourself. Even though you are in a team sport, you do still need to be selfish."
Speaking for the first time since the decision was announced, Warburton said: "It's something I've known about for a while and spoken about it to Rob.
"There wasn't a definitive moment. This has been happening over the past few months.
"It probably came to our attention during the autumn, when we started talking about it, and through December and January.
"It was a decision we both agreed on and thought was best for myself individually and the team.
"You know it is a big call for a coach to drop his captain."
Warburton insists he is not disappointed and is free to concentrate on securing his position in the Wales back row.
"I found it to be a relatively easy decision because captaincy has never been the motivation for me," said the Cardiff Blues flanker, who said he was unsure whether he would lead Wales again.
"Playing number seven for Wales and the Lions has always been the target.
"It's not something I've been bitterly disappointed about or something I've always desperately wanted to do. It's an honour.
"There also comes a time in your career you need to focus on yourself.
"That's why this is the best thing for me. It will probably make me more hungry not to have the captaincy.
"There are so many good sixes and sevens in the squad, that you have got to bring your A-game just to get in the 23."

Since 2011, when he took the job aged 22, Warburton has led Wales more times than anybody else and captained his country at two World Cups and to a Six Nations Grand Slam in 2012.
"People expect the Grand Slam to be my highlight, but I only played three games," he said.
"My highlight might be the win against South Africa in 2014 because that was a big moment.
"Players are always getting the question about [beating] southern hemisphere sides. To finally get that win was satisfying.
"When I look back to 2011 when I nearly didn't take it, that would have been the biggest mistake of my rugby career.
"Back then I was completely out of my comfort zone and didn't want to do it.
"But it has helped me develop as a person and a player."
Warburton is replaced by Ospreys skipper Jones who has captained Wales five times and led the Lions to match and series victory in the final Test against Australia in 2013.
"Alun Wyn is a vastly experienced player and has more experience than me at international level," said Warburton.
"He's seen pretty much everything in this game. That's what makes him such a great candidate to be captain.
"Alun Wyn is the stand-out candidate. It will be a nice smooth transition and he will be able to cope fine with things."
Warburton said he was unsure whether his chances of leading the Lions again in New Zealand this summer after captaining the tourists in Australia in 2013 would be affected.
"I haven't spoken to Warren [Gatland] since he was announced as Lions coach," said Warburton.
"He popped in and observed some training sessions, which I imagine he did across the home nations.
"He was informed about the decision by the WRU and Rob spoke to him.
"One of my concerns was Warren, because he has invested a lot of time in me, especially when I was so young.
"But he knew exactly what was going on which was great." | Sam Warburton says he remains as hungry as ever to play for Wales despite losing the captaincy to Alun Wyn Jones. | 38724392 | [

They have injected human stem cells into pig embryos to produce human-pig embryos known as chimeras.
The embryos are part of research aimed at overcoming the worldwide shortage of transplant organs.
The team from University of California, Davis says they should look and behave like normal pigs except that one organ will be composed of human cells.
The human-pig chimeric embryos are being allowed to develop in the sows for 28 days before the pregnancies are terminated and the tissue removed for analysis.
The BBC's Panorama was given access to the research for Medicine's Big Breakthrough: Editing Your Genes.
Creating the chimeric embryos takes two stages. First, a technique known as CRISPR gene editing is used to remove DNA from a newly fertilised pig embryo that would enable the resulting foetus to grow a pancreas.
This creates a genetic "niche" or void. Then, human induced pluripotent (iPS) stem cells are injected into the embryo. The iPS cells were derived from adult cells and "dialled back" to become stem cells capable of developing into any tissue in the body.
The team at UC Davis hopes the human stem cells will take advantage of the genetic niche in the pig embryo and the resulting foetus will grow a human pancreas.
Gene editing technique could transform future
Pablo Ross, a reproductive biologist who is leading the research told me: "Our hope is that this pig embryo will develop normally but the pancreas will be made almost exclusively out of human cells and could be compatible with a patient for transplantation."
But the work is controversial. Last year, the main US medical research agency, the National Institutes of Health, imposed a moratorium on funding such experiments.
The main concern is that the human cells might migrate to the developing pig's brain and make it, in some way, more human.
Pablo Ross says this is unlikely but is a key reason why the research is proceeding with such caution: "We think there is very low potential for a human brain to grow, but this is something we will be investigating."
His team has previously injected human stem cells into pig embryos but without first creating the genetic niche. Prof Ross said although they later found human cells in several parts of the developing foetus, they "struggled to compete" with the pig cells. By deleting a key gene involved in the creation of the pig pancreas, they hope the human cells will have more success creating a human-like pancreas.
Other teams in the United States have created human-pig chimeric embryos but none has allowed the foetuses to be born.
Walter Low, professor in the department of neurosurgery, University of Minnesota, said pigs were an ideal "biological incubator" for growing human organs, and could potentially be used to create not just a pancreas but hearts, livers, kidneys, lungs and corneas.
He said if the iPS cells were taken from a patient needing a transplant then these could be injected in a pig embryo which had the key genes deleted for creating the required organ, such as the liver: "The organ would be an exact genetic copy of your liver but a much younger and healthier version and you would not need to take immunosuppressive drugs which carry side-effects."
But Prof Low stressed that the research, using another form of gene editing called TALENs, was still at the preliminary stages, trying to identify the target genes which must be removed in order to prevent the pig from developing a particular organ.
His team is also trying to create dopamine-producing human neurons from chimeric embryos to treat patients with Parkinson's disease.
These embryos have been allowed to develop for up to 62 days - the normal gestation period is around 114 days.
Like the team in California, Prof Low said they were monitoring the effects on the pig brain: "With every organ we will look at what's happening in the brain and if we find that it's too human like, then we won't let those foetuses be born".
Gene editing has revitalised research into xenotransplantation, and the concept of using animal organs for humans.
In the mid-90s there were hopes that genetically modified pigs might provide an endless supply of organs for patients, and that cross-species transplants were not far off.
But clinical trials stalled because of fears that humans might be infected with animal viruses.
Last year, a team at Harvard Medical School used CRISPR gene editing to remove more than 60 copies of a pig retrovirus.
Prof George Church, who led the research, told me: "It opens up the possibility of not just transplantation from pigs to humans but the whole idea that a pig organ is perfectible.
"Gene editing could ensure the organs are very clean, available on demand and healthy, so they could be superior to human donor organs."
But organisations campaigning for an end to factory farming are dismayed at the thought of organ farms.
Peter Stevenson, from Compassion in World Farming, told me: "I'm nervous about opening up a new source of animal suffering. Let's first get many more people to donate organs. If there is still a shortage after that, we can consider using pigs, but on the basis that we eat less meat so that there is no overall increase in the number of pigs being used for human purposes."
In Greek mythology, chimeras were fire-breathing monsters composed of several animals - part lion, goat and snake. The scientific teams believe human-pig chimeras should look and behave like normal pigs except that one organ will be composed of human cells.
Scott Fahrenkrug, whose Minnesota-based company Recombinetics is teaming up on the chimera research with Prof Low, told me: "Perhaps the term chimera is going to take on a new meaning and it will be one that's much more affectionate: chimeras will be seen to be what they are which is a saviour, given that they will provide, life-saving, sustaining organs for our patients."
Seven thousand people in the UK are on the transplant waiting list and hundreds die each year before a donor can be found.

The ska group tweeted the news: "It is with deep regret that we say goodbye to our great friend, the world's greatest drummer, our beloved Brad. RIP."
Bradbury joined The Specials in 1979, and continued with the reversioned band The Special AKA, who had a top 10 hit with Free Nelson Mandela.
Bradbury took part in The Specials reunion tour in 2009. He also headed up a band called JB Allstars.
The band's representatives said the drummer died in England but no cause of death was given.
In a statement, his family said: "It is with deepest regret that we have to announce the very sad news that our much loved husband and father John 'Brad' Bradbury passed away on Monday the 28 of December.
"Brad's drumming was the powerhouse behind The Specials and it was seen as a key part to the Two Tone sound. He was much respected in the world of drumming and his style of reggae and ska was seen as genuinely ground-breaking when The Specials first hit the charts in 1979.
"He was an integral part of The Specials reforming in 2008 and toured with them extensively up to the present day. His contribution to the world of music can not be understated and he will much missed by family, friends and fans alike.
"It is the family's sincerest wish that they are allowed the time to remember him privately."
The news comes three months after the band's trombonist, Rico Rodriguez, died.
The band, famed for their 1960s mod-style outfits, had seven UK top 10 singles including Too Much Too Young and Ghost Town.
Founder and songwriter Jerry Dammers dissolved the band in 1981 but they re-grouped and continue to perform and record without their former leading man.
Billy Bragg was one of the first musicans to pay tribute to Bradbury.: "A bad day for good music. First we lose Lemmy, now news that Brad from the Specials has passed away. RIP."
Bradbury was born and brought up in Coventry where the band was formed in 1977.
Music producer Pete Waterman, also from Coventry, expressed his shock at the news of the Bradbury's death.
Speaking to BBC Coventry and Warwickshire, Waterman said: "I always had a good laugh with Brad. He was always proud of being in the band and what we'd and he'd achieved.
"He never left Coventry because he always wanted to be part of the scene... he was tremendous." | John "Brad" Bradbury, drummer with The Specials, has died at the age of 62. | 35194738 | [

An invoice for £170 was sent to subscribers to the Scotland Supporters Club mailing list just after 09:00.
The email - addressed "Dear Customer" - provided a link for payment, which was a disguised website address.
The SFA said a third-party email database had been compromised and urged recipients to delete the email.
Its statement said: "We would like to apologise to those who have received a spoof email this morning purporting to be from the Scottish FA."
It recommended that anyone who may have opened it run a security check on their computer to ensure no malware had been installed.
It said: "We would like to assure all supporters that no bank or credit card details have been shared.
"We have moved to delete this account and the issue has been raised with our suppliers.
"We will provide an update in early course."
Fans on message boards suggested that clicking on the link within the scam email could infect computers with a virus and leave them out of pocket.
The email contained links identical to those sent on official communications to supporters and were signed off as being from the "Accounts Department" of the Scotland Supporters Club.

Bert Davidson, from Hopeman, near Elgin, had not seen his 1929 Humber since he sold it nearly 60 years ago.
But a few years ago he was contacted by Robin Wills - whose father had owned the saloon car in the 1960s and 70s - who had tracked it down to America.
Mr Wills has since restored the dilapidated car to its former glory.
After towing it up to Elgin from his home in Brancepath, County Durham, Mr Davidson once again got a chance to sit behind the wheel.
"I had a run around the block in it. I thoroughly enjoyed the trip," Mr Davidson told the BBC News website.
"It was a grand motor car and he's done a magnificent job restoring it. The paintwork is in its original colours. The interior is all original. He tried to get me to drive it - but I said 'I'd better not!'"
Mr Davidson had first come across the car at an old coachbuilders in Elgin while working at his father's garage following his National Service in 1954.
It was under a dustsheet and he asked the owner if he could buy it.
"He said 'No laddie, I'm not selling it'," Mr Davidson said. "I asked him again eight weeks later. This went on for two years. Eventually he said I could have it and he asked how much I had in my pocket. I got it for £15 which was a bargain."
Mr Davidson restored the car and in 1959 entered it in the Kildrummy Rally, where vehicles travelled from Kildrummy to Aberdeen. He won the vintage class.
"I was the only kilted competitor," he said.
Eventually, Mr Davidson's father sold his garage and he had nowhere to keep the car so it had to go.
"I sold the car to a man from RAF Kinloss or Lossiemouth for £185," Mr Davidson recalled. "I watched him drive away and put it completely out of my mind. That was the last I saw of it until Robin got in touch 55-60 years later.
"I was very surprised when he got in touch and I am delighted that I'm going to see the car again."
Mr Wills' father bought the car in about 1965 but sold it to a Newcastle car dealer in 1974, when Mr Wills was aged four.
The next time Mr Wills saw it, it was when it appeared in the opening credits of the 1976 Likely Lads film.
"It's unique because it has an owl on the front, on the top of the radiator," he said. "So I knew it was the same car."
Mr Wills' research, which took two years, revealed that the car was later bought by a man who took it to America and it had crossed the Atlantic four times.
It was also owned by the man's brother, Lotus designer Martin Waide.
However, after its engine blew up in 1979 it was never driven again until Mr Wills brought it back to its former glory.
"I used to talk to my dad about the car in my teenage years as I had fond memories of it," he said. "I was delighted and astounded to find it. When I got it back the first thing I did was to open the door, shut my eyes and took a whiff.
"It has the original interior. It hasn't been touched in 98 years. The smell was astounding. It was as if I had been transported back to 1974."
The Humber had some plaques inside it relating to the Kildrummy Rally.
Mr Wills carried out an internet search and found footage of the rally, which included Mr Davidson and the car, on the National Library of Scotland's Moving Image Archive.
"I couldn't believe it," he said. "It was as if someone had walked on my grave. It was an incredible experience."
He then managed to track Mr Davidson down.
"The sense of excitement in his voice was unbelievable," Mr Wills said. "I think he was as excited as I was."
The two men discovered they had more in common than the Humber - they also shared the same birthday.
For Mr Davidson's 80th, Mr Wills sent him the car's original front number plate which the pensioner had made.
"I thought that was great," Mr Davidson said.
The journey to northern Scotland with the car on Saturday was wet at times, forcing Mr Wills to make an emergency stop to buy brass polish.
"I had to buff up the brasswork. I wanted it to look its best for Bert," he said.
"It's been an amazing experience. I feel a bit like Doctor Who, travelling back to meet characters from the past."
The Humber's owners, past and present, exchanged gifts - a photo album of the car and a bottle of whisky from Mr Davidson's home town of Elgin. | An 83-year-old man has been reunited with a vintage car he drove in the 1950s, after its current owner tracked him down. | 39591659 | [

Myrtle Cothill, from South Africa, has been cared for by her daughter in Dorset since coming to the UK in 2014.
She had been ordered to fly home on Tuesday but the Home Office has halted proceedings pending a medical report.
Lawyer Jan Doerfel said sending Mrs Cothill home, where she had no close family, was against her human rights.
The Home Office said its decision had been upheld by two separate immigration tribunals and the suspension of her expulsion from the UK was only temporary.
Immigration lawyer Mr Doerful said: "If they don't reconsider, we'll have to see what the appeal rights are.
"We are still calling on people to help us fund taking her case to the European Court of Human rights because we believe this decision is in violation of her right to family life with her daughter in the UK."
More than 84,000 people have signed a petition urging the Home Office to allow Mrs Cothill to stay.
The widow, who came to the UK on a tourist visa, has heart problems, is losing her eyesight and cannot walk unaided.
Her daughter Mary Wills said: "Financially, she was really battling. She was not eating properly and her health was going down."
Mrs Cothill said: "I want to be with my daughter until my end. I've only got her and I feel I have no-one else I could depend on and rely on."
But the government is not convinced she should be allowed to stay.
The second of her immigration tribunals concluded it was "implicit" Mrs Cothill entered the UK as a visitor "by deception" because, among other things, she disposed of her property in South Africa before leaving the country.
A Home Office spokesman said all applications were considered on their individual merits and in line with the immigration rules. | The lawyer of a 92-year-old woman facing deportation from the UK says he will take her case to the European Court of Human Rights if needed. | 35620981 | [

The Blue singer, who is in the final of the BBC One competition, said it began after a short tour of Kazakhstan ended in July.
"I was a bit gutted at first because the music went quiet," he told Newsbeat.
"I didn't have an outlet so I was sitting at home and got myself into a bit of depression."
He said he realised the fans could tell he wasn't feeling himself and thought that he needed to tell them.
"Hopefully I've done that and now I am just so grateful for this Strictly team," he said.
"Even though I have been in a dance-off, they picked me up just before I went out there and danced.
"I remember it being an absolute saviour and I can't thank them enough."
In an interview with the Daily Mirror earlier this year, he revealed how he had turned to alcohol after Blue's reunion tour finished.
He also admitted property losses had led him to bankruptcy and he even thought about suicide.
The Strictly finalist said it was then that he realised he was suffering from severe depression.
But since appearing on the show, he says he feels things are looking more positive and he is looking towards the year ahead.
"Career-wise we've got two albums with Blue next year, we're signed to Sony," he explained.
"We've got our own TV show as well which is going to be launched in January, so things are looking very, very good for Blue next year."
He will also go on tour with this year's Strictly Come Dancing contestants and could potentially win on Saturday night with dance partner Kristina Rihanoff.
"What a great way to end the year, it didn't start off too well but I feel I ended on a high no matter what."
Strictly Come Dancing final is on BBC One at 18:30 on Saturday.

A Calum Dyson double and first-half goal from Chris Clements saw the home side ease to their first win in five League Two games.
The Mariners took the lead when a scramble in the penalty area resulted in Tom Bolarinwa's header being cleared off the line, but only to former Stag Clements who bundled the ball home.
Sam Jones had a great chance to double the advantage after the break when Mansfield goalkeeper Jake Kean missed Clements' long ball forward, but Rhys Bennett got back just in time to block the midfielder's shot.
But Grimsby got their second when Dyson took the ball out on the right before charging his way into the box and finishing superbly beyond Kean.
Things went from bad to worse for the visitors when Evans was sent to the stands where he clashed with Blundell Park security staff.
Hayden White then saw red after bringing Bolarinwa down in the box, with Dyson converting from the spot to secure the home side's victory.

The hardware retailer's fourth quarter sales rose 9.5% to almost $21bn (£14.9bn) between November and January compared with the same period in the previous year.
The company has benefited from pent-up demand in the housing market.
On Tuesday the National Association of Realtors reported existing home sales rose by 0.4% in January - on top of a 12% surge in sales in December.
Low interest rates, combined with growth in the job market and wage increases, have bolstered the US housing market, but fears of slowing global growth could dampen confidence this year.
Home Depot sales were also helped by unusually warm winter that has allowed more people to continue home improvement projects throughout the winter.
Like-for-like sales rose 8.9% - far higher than analysts' estimates of 5.3% growth.
The higher sales resulted in Home Depot posting a profit of $1.47bn for the fourth quarter, higher than the $1.37bn for the same period in 2014/15.
Shares of Home Depot rose 2% in afternoon trading in New York.
The company also announced it would increase its quarterly dividend by 17% and conduct a $5bn share buyback this year.
Despite the recent gains, the outlook for the US housing market in 2016 remained uncertain.
The National Association of Realtors said that housing inventory fell by 2.2% from last year, leading to higher prices. The median existing home price was $213,800 across the US, up 8.2% from January 2015.
"The spring buying season is right around the corner and current supply levels aren't even close to what's needed to accommodate the subsequent growth in housing demand," said Lawrence Yun, the association's chief economist.
"Home prices ascending near or above double-digit appreciation aren't healthy - especially considering the fact that household income and wages are barely rising," he added. | Home Depot has reported better than expected sales growth, helped by a strong US housing market. | 35644680 | [

The dead driver was not a member of ambulance staff, police said, and working out how he was in the ambulance would form part of their inquiries.
The Coastliner bus driver was seriously injured in the crash on the A64 at Flaxton, near York, at about 20:30 BST.
Five of the 16 passengers on the bus and one of two people in the Toyota Yaris car were also taken to hospital.
Yorkshire Ambulance Service said they could not confirm who the private ambulance belonged to but said it was not an NHS vehicle.
The driver was pronounced dead at the scene. Police said there was nobody else in the vehicle with him.
The bus driver was taken to Leeds General Infirmary, with serious but not life-threatening leg and abdominal injuries. The emergency services said the passengers were taken to hospitals in York and Scarborough and their injuries were also not life-threatening.
The ambulance service said it was thought other passengers may have gone to hospital without their assistance and about four people received attention for minor injuries at the scene.
The A64 has been closed while collision investigators examine the scene and police said it would remain shut for some time. They asked motorists to avoid the A64 near York.
North Yorkshire Police are asking anyone who witnessed the crash or saw either of the vehicles before the collision, to contact them. | A man driving a private ambulance has died in a crash with a double decker bus and a car in North Yorkshire. | 32261450 | [

The Rollright Stones is made up of three Neolithic and Bronze Age megalithic monuments, high on the Oxfordshire - Warwickshire border.
Rollright Trust head George Lambrick accepted the Dark Sky Discovery award at Long Compton Village Hall.
The award recognises places that provide good views of the stars, which are accessible to everyone.
Chairman of Chipping Norton Amateur Astronomy Group, Robin Smitten, who is also a trustee of the stones, said: "It is a fitting end to seven or eight months of work."
The Rollright Stones has featured in TV's Stargazing Live and The Sky at Night.
Mr Smitten said the group would now turn its focus to improving views of the night sky in other areas of the Cotswolds. | A prehistoric monument has been given a stargazing award in recognition of its views of the Milky Way. | 32106750 | [

Instead, it was her namesake, Irish politician Joan Collins, who was arrested at a protest against new water meters in Dublin yesterday.
The former Dynasty star tweeted: 'No I am not the Joan Collins Who was a rested (sic) yesterday At a Dublin protest meeting !!! The very idea !!"
United Left TD Ms Collins said she was taking part in a "peaceful protest".
She later tweeted that she should not be confused with the British screen icon.
"For the record I'm not @JoanCollinsOBE as I'd never take an honour from a monarch nor did I wear shoulder pads in the 80s. The very idea!"
Veteran actress Joan, 81, was made a dame in the Queen's New Year's honours list last year.
She is famous for her roles in films like The Stud and The Bitch, and more recently starred in the TV series The Royals.
She was previously a patron of UKIP, but said that does not mean she would vote for them, and has declared herself an admirer of former prime minister Margaret Thatcher.
Irish parliamentarian Ms Collins sits on the opposite end of the political spectrum.
She was among 13 people arrested at the demonstration, which was part of continuing protests against the introduction of water charges in Ireland. | Actress Joan Collins has taken to Twitter to deny that she was arrested in the Republic of Ireland. | 32396774 | [

While it limits recruitment from outside the EU, it has "stimulated recruitment" from EU countries, the home affairs select committee said.
Net migration rose by 30% in the year to June, to 336,000 - more than three times David Cameron's intended target.
The PM has said he will not abandon his aim to reduce the figure to 100,000.
Under the immigration cap, introduced in 2011, the number of "tier 2" visas issued to skilled workers from non-EU countries is limited to 20,700 a year.
But a report by the select committee concluded the limit had been "counter-productive".
It added that "a large number" of applications from nurses with job offers in the UK were being rejected because of limits on the number of visas issued each month.
Committee chairman Keith Vaz said the government's immigration cap was having "no effect" on bringing down net migration - the difference between those coming into the country and those going out each year - but "could have caused a crisis in the NHS this winter".
He said: "When the cap was reached earlier this year, we saw the perverse effects of the system, as the cap prioritises higher-paid jobs.
"In June, nurses were being prevented from working in the UK, which necessitated the government taking emergency measures to allow recruitment to continue.
"Whilst this was a very welcome move, it is clear to see that the system could have caused a crisis in the NHS this winter.
"A system which encourages panicked adjustments to be functional is not fit for purpose. Nurses should remain on the shortage occupation list."
A total of 641,000 people moved to the UK in 2014, the Office for National Statistics said. | The government's immigration cap on skilled workers has had no effect on bringing down net migration and is not "fit for purpose", MPs say. | 35128149 | [

The woman, who has asked to remain anonymous, said it happened just before 20:00 BST on Sunday.
She said the man was dressed in dark clothes and asked her to call an ambulance.
"It was a terrible shock. You just don't know who you're answering the door to," she said.
The shooting happened at Glenwood Drive, Poleglass.
The victim, a 56-year-old man, is in a stable condition in hospital.
The woman told BBC News she was waiting for her grandson to come over when the man came to her door and said there were lots of children in the area.
"I didn't get much sleep, I've been up all night with my stomach churning," she said.
"It doesn't bear thinking about if the kids had seen the shooting."
The woman said she and a neighbour tended to the man while waiting for the ambulance, which she said arrived quickly and took him away.
She said she does not think the man was local to her area.
Stephen Magennis, a Sinn Féin councillor, said the man had been shot "five or six times in the leg".
"I've said for a long time now regarding punishment attacks that no guns at all should be brought onto the streets," he said.
"The message needs to come loud and clear in the community and hopefully these groups will listen." | A grandmother has described how the victim of a paramilitary-style shooting in west Belfast knocked on her door asking for help after the attack. | 37678667 | [

Thirteen people were killed when British paratroopers opened fire on a civil rights march through the city in January 1972. A fourteenth died later.
The 66-year-old former paratrooper was arrested in County Antrim on Tuesday.
It is understood he is being questioned over the deaths of William Nash, Michael McDaid and John Young.
He is soldier J, who was one of the soldiers who appeared before the Saville Inquiry.
Leo Young, whose brother John was killed aged 17 on Bloody Sunday, told BBC Radio Foyle that he welcomed the news.
"A flood of emotions came into my head when I heard the news about the arrest," said Mr Young.
"A prosecution has to happen soon. We waited for over 40 years and this is a big step.
"I think about my brother every day. His life was cut short and I keep thinking about him because he would probably be married today.
"I was 24 at the time and going through those inquires was a real battle.
"This is a giant step and I feel for all the families involved."
John Kelly, whose brother Michael was among those killed on Bloody Sunday, said the arrest "gives fresh hope".
"This is a massive moment for the families and the city," said Mr Kelly.
"My brother's death is no different to any other death on that day. This is major development and I hope there is an arrest in relation to my brother soon.
"Hopefully there will be prosecutions soon."
Sir Gerald Howarth, a Conservative MP and former defence minister who represents former soldiers on duty at the time of Bloody Sunday, said there are hundreds of families dealing with murder across Northern Ireland.
"We cannot forget that a lot of families haven't had justice yet," said Sir Howarth.
"It would be good if we could just close this chapter.
"I'm not excusing what happened but I do not think it is in the public interest for former soldiers to be prosecuted.
"This is now a matter for the prosecuting authorities though." | Detectives are continuing to question a former soldier over the deaths of three people on Bloody Sunday in Londonderry. | 34785183 | [

Andal Ampatuan Junior is accused of orchestrating the murder of 57 unarmed civilians, who were ambushed, killed and clumsily buried in a mass grave in the southern province of Maguindanao last November.
Another 27 members of his family have also been charged in connection with the killings - five are with him in custody - and they all deny the charges against them.
But for many Filipinos, this trial is about much more than establishing the guilt or innocence of one man, or even one family.
It's about the huge influence of clans like the Ampatuans, and the culture of impunity surrounding them.
While their involvement in the massacre has yet to be proven, there is no doubt whatsoever that the Ampatuans were - and still are - extremely powerful.
The Ampatuans have been in Maguindanao for centuries, and can trace their lineage to a Muslim preacher, Shariff Aguak, who was one of the first people to bring the Islamic faith to the area.
But they were not always the dominant force they are today. According to Arnold Esguerra, a history professor at the University of the Philippines in Manila, the surname Ampatuan only started to appear in official documents in the early part of the 20th Century.
At that stage they were influential traders, he said - but their social status was definitely beneath that of the "datus", the traditional clan rulers.
The situation changed in the mid-1970s, when then-President Ferdinand Marcos declared martial law, and tried to stamp out the growing Islamic separatist movement by selecting a few people he could trust to administer the province.
One of those people was Andal Ampatuan Junior's father, Andal Senior, who is now the undisputed head of the family clan.
First, he became the mayor of Maganoy town - and then, during the presidency of Cory Aquino, he was given the more powerful role of officer-in-charge.
But it was under President Gloria Arroyo, who came to power in 2001, when the Ampatuans really came to prominence.
Andal Senior became governor of Maguindanao, a post he has now held for the maximum three terms. Then in 2005 his son Zaldy became the governor of the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao - an influential post controlling the five Muslim provinces that have been given a degree of self-rule from central government.
'Heights of power'
Andal Junior became mayor of Datu Unsay, a town that bears his nickname, and at the time of the massacre, 10 of Maguindanao's 34 municipalities were run by Ampatuans or their relatives.
Mrs Arroyo's government was good to the Ampatuans, providing funds for the region, and in the process propelling Andal Senior to "undreamed-of heights of power", according to a report by the International Crisis Group.
In 2006, Mrs Arroyo issued an executive order legalising the informal private "armies" being kept by families like the Ampatuans, enabling them to work alongside the regular army - but by extension legitimising their use as a means of local control.
In return the Ampatuans openly supported her in election campaigns.
There are widespread claims that the family helped rig votes for Mrs Arroyo in the controversial 2004 election, which she narrowly won. Both the Ampatuans and the former president deny the allegations.
At the time of the massacre, the clan had an estimated 28 mansions, scores of luxury cars, large amounts of rice-producing land and a heavily armed private army of more than 2,000 men.
According to the International Crisis Group, the Ampatuans also controlled the police, the judiciary and the local election commission, and possessed mortars, rocket launchers and assault rifles.
Even now, after the finger of blame has been pointed at them for the November massacre, the family still retains a lot of its influence. At least 15 Ampatuans won victories in May's election - some of whom have charges against them.
And according to Jessica Evans from Human Rights Watch, Andal Senior is still able to give orders to his subordinates from inside jail.
Of course none of this means the Ampatuans are necessarily guilty of the killings, or that all members of the clan act in a similar way.
In fact, according to Amina Rasul, director of the Philippine Council on Islam and Democracy, some Ampatuans are very effective and popular community leaders.
"They're not all cut from the same cloth. Many are professional, and have real support," she said.
But human rights groups are still concerned about the dominance of these family clans, and they warn that the influence and power exhibited by the Ampatuans is by no means unique.
"I don't think this is an isolated incident," said Amina Rasul. "There are other families in other parts of the Philippines that are just as powerful."
The Philippine military recently admitted that there were at least 112 private armies around the country - an indication, perhaps, of how many more clans and family groups hold sway over their own private fiefdoms.
Whether by chance or design, presidential policies over the past few decades have given certain families the opportunity to amass extraordinary levels of power and influence.
The first priority of the trial into last November's massacre is undoubtedly to bring justice for those who were so brutally killed.
But human rights groups are hoping that the case will also persuade the current government, under President Benigno Aquino, to bring an end to the dominance of families like the Ampatuans. | The main suspect in the most brutal massacre in recent Philippine history has gone on trial. | 11139653 | [

Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, 25, pleaded guilty to attempting to blow up a commercial plane as a would-be suicide mission for al-Qaeda.
His family quickly called on the US government to review the sentence.
Abdulmutallab was badly burned when a bomb sewn into his underwear failed to detonate fully, prosecutors said.
Almost 300 people were on the flight from Amsterdam to Detroit.
Some of the passengers from the flight were in the courtroom as Federal Judge Nancy Edmunds announced the sentence.

"This was an act of terrorism that cannot be quibbled with," Judge Edmunds said, as she imposed the maximum sentence.
The son of a Nigerian banker and a former engineering student at University College London, Abdulmutallab faced eight counts against him, including terrorism and attempted murder.
Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), a militant group based in Yemen, said it was behind the attempted attack.
In statement to the BBC, the family of Abdulmutallab said they were "grateful to God that the unfortunate incident of that date did not result in any injury or death".
"We strongly appeal to the American justice department to review the life sentence," they said. "We also appeal to the Federal Republic of Nigeria to continue with their support and engage with the American government to ensure that a review is made."
Ahead of the sentencing, assistant defence lawyer Anthony Chambers argued that a life sentence for Abdulmutallab would be unconstitutional, since no other passengers were hurt.
By Mark LobelBBC News, Lagos
Many more young Nigerians have been radicalised since Lagos-born Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab's actions linked the West African country to al-Qaeda.
But the organisation behind their radicalisation is Boko Haram, a local religious group that has turned militant. It wants Nigeria ruled by strict Islamic law and its recruits take quite different journeys from that of the man in his twenties from a very wealthy northern Nigerian family, now in the hands of the US penal system.
A neighbour of the Abdulmutallab family in Kaduna, prominent rights activist Shehu Sani, told me a lighter sentence would give Umar Farouk a deserved chance to rehabilitate. The blame should lie with the terrorists who took advantage of the model student, as he was too young to know better, he said.
Some in the Muslim north think the whole case is a US conspiracy. There is far less sympathy for him in the Christian south. Matthew, a banker, said that a death sentence would be justified. Having harmed Nigeria's image, as Boko Haram is doing now, Matthew said the 25-year-old does not deserve a second chance.
Sentencing guidelines directed the judge to impose a mandatory life sentence, but Mr Chambers appealed for a lighter term.
"Not one passenger lost his or her life. Not one passenger suffered life-threatening injuries," he said.
Prosecutors said a life sentence was warranted because an attempted terror attack heightens public fear and burdens airports with expensive and time-consuming security procedures.
As part of the sentencing hearing, four passengers and a crew member aboard Flight 253 made statements, telling the judge the event had forever changed their lives.
A video from the FBI showing the power of the explosive material found in Abdulmutallab's underwear was also shown at the hearing. As the video played Abdulmutallab twice said loudly "Allahu akbar" - Arabic for "God is great".
Abdulmutallab himself made a brief statement. During the short trial, he had fired his lawyer and attempted to represent himself.
"Mujahideen are proud to kill in the name of God," he said in court. "And that is exactly what God told us to do in the Koran... Today is a day of victory."
"In quick response to some of the things that have been said, I say my life and the lives of Muslims have also changed due to the attacks on innocent civilians," he added.
On the second day of his trial, in October, Abdulmutallab unexpectedly declared that he would plead guilty to all charges.
The bomb was a "blessed weapon to save the lives of innocent Muslims", he told the court.
"The US should be warned that if they continue to kill and support those who kill innocent Muslims, then the US should await a great calamity... or God will strike them directly," he added.
Investigators said Abdulmutallab admitted he was working for AQAP, and had been inspired by and had met Anwar al-Awlaki, a radical cleric who was killed in 2011 by a US drone strike in Yemen.
Abdulmutallab received the bomb, as well as training, from AQAP before travelling from Nigeria to Amsterdam.
There he boarded Northwest Airlines Flight 253 to Detroit, which was carrying 279 passengers and 11 crew members.
The bomb was not picked up in security checks at airports in Lagos and Amsterdam.
On board, the bomb failed to detonate completely and passengers had to put out the fire.
Abdulmutallab's father, Alhaji Umaru Mutallab, an influential banker who is well connected in Nigerian politics, said he had approached the US embassy officials and Nigerian authorities in 2009 to warn them about his son.
Abdulmutallab was already on a US watch list, but not a no-fly list. | A Nigerian man accused of trying to bomb a US-bound flight on Christmas Day 2009 has been sentenced to life in prison without parole. | 17065130 | [

The Australia opener is being investigated over claims of an attack in the early hours of Sunday morning, leading to him being dropped from Wednesday's Champions Trophy match against New Zealand.
Source: ESPN Cricinfo
The other 15 players can now really get together and coach Mickey Arthur can say to his players "this is what happens if you step out of line because it is totally unacceptable".
Arthur can get up and ask them: "Do you want to come here and do something special, to win the Ashes against all the odds? Or do you simply want to be a laughing stock?"
I would expect a ferocious response from the players if they're asked that.
If Warner stays on the tour I would expect his presence to add to the banter quite frankly. He's the type of character who can rile the opposition anyway, and I would expect England to take full advantage of his presence in the middle.
Because, let's face it, the players won't need any excuse to fan the flames of anticipation and rivalry during the Ashes.
While this is an opportunity to over-hype things, it won't make any difference to cricket's most famous Test series though.
If Australia are not fully committed or preparing properly, they will be beaten by England, it's as simple as that. And the Australian public would be mortified, because the least they expect from their side is discipline, professionalism and dedication.
Warner's behaviour personifies a lack of discipline, a dropping of standards, that would never have happened in the days of Australia's former captain Steve Waugh. Waugh has the best win percentage of any Test captain, with 41 wins out of 57 matches, and led Australia to victory in the 1999 World Cup.
It is no coincidence that when teams are successful, as Waugh's so clearly was, every aspect, both on and off the field, is also successful. You didn't hear about Waugh's players being out late or getting involved in the kind of incident that Warner was.
Australia have lost a lot of their key players recently, which is why they need 100% from everyone on this tour.
They are already without their captain, Michael Clarke, who has been struggling with a lower back injury, so this is hardly what they need right now. When you're struggling on the field at the start of a tough tour, you simply don't want lapses that smack of unprofessionalism.
Former captain Ricky Ponting is playing for Surrey and has made a great start to life playing in England, but recalling him is unlikely. Ponting is still a fine player, but he's retired from international cricket now, and were Australia to recall him it would look desperate.

To be frank, the Warner incident is bizarre and should not really shouldn't be happening in this day and age.
Why was a player out at that time in the night in the middle of a major tournament? That is an issue that needs to be addressed by England as well, because Root, Stuart Broad and Chris Woakes were also in that bar wearing silly wigs in the early hours of the morning.
The players might not have a game for a few days, but is that really sending out the right image as an international sportsman?
Saying all that, there can never be an excuse for an unprovoked assault, which is what this seems to have been.
Warner has clearly got a few problems and has 'form', as they say, as shown by a foul-mouthed rant against a journalist on Twitter last month, which led to him being fined by Cricket Australia.
We don't know what the punishment will be, but Cricket Australia have to deal with it strongly. After seeing how Arthur dealt with the four players dropped for failing to do their feedback or homework or whatever you want to call it, I think that's what will happen.
Let's be clear though that Warner is one of Australia's key men, a fine stroke player who can really get after a bowling attack and take the initiative away from the England bowlers. | This might sound strange, but the allegations that David Warner launched an unprovoked attack on England's Joe Root could actually galvanise Australia ahead of the Ashes. | 22872662 | [

Archibald was responding to comments by his former player Ziggy Gordon that he has learned more in a few months in Poland than in his years in Scotland.
"I don't think he's trying to downgrade the standard here," said the Jags boss.
"I just think he has learned a little bit more abroad."
Jose Mourinho, Costinha, Andre Villas-Boas, Brendan Rodgers, Pedro Caixinha and Alan Shearer are among those who have come to Scotland to sit their Uefa Pro licence over the years.
Archibald, who is on the four-man shortlist for the PFA Scotland manager of the year award, said he had never seen Polish coaches at work so did not know how accurate the Jagiellonia Bialystok defender's comments were.
"I've never been there, so I don't know where he's coming from," said the Jags boss.
"But I think when any player goes abroad, you'll pick something up. Your eyes are opened wide, and you'll learn something a little bit different."
Further, Archibald said the standard of coaching in Scotland was "very good".
He continued: "I think a lot of top coaches come here to do their coaching badges so we must be doing something right.
"As (Celtic manager) Brendan Rodgers says, you get a challenge every week. This has probably been the best season in terms of the challenge, tactically.
"All the managers are now playing different shapes and changing it during games as well, so I think all coaches are tactically very aware and they all do their homework now as well.
"I don't think any team just turns up on a Saturday and says 'right, on you go, go and play'. There's a lot of work going in during the week from every team in the league."
Archibald admitted to being taken aback to be nominated by his peers as Scotland's top manager this season, along with Rodgers, Aberdeen's Derek McInnes and Morton's Jim Duffy.
"I think (I'm surprised) just because we've not won anything," said the manager, whose team reached the Premiership's top six for the first time.
"Brendan's won trophies, Derek's been to semi-finals and finals and so has Jim.
"We are sixth and sometimes from the outside people don't know how hard you work, or what it takes to get there.
"Making the top six is huge to a club like ours, and sometimes it's as good as winning a trophy." | Partick Thistle manager Alan Archibald points to the procession of coaches coming to Scotland to attain their Uefa licence as proof that the standard of coaching in Scotland is high. | 39823776 | [

Mr Natzler has served as acting Clerk since the retirement of Sir Robert Rogers last year.
A panel led by Mr Bercow initially recommended that Australian Carole Mills take the role but MPs objected and she has since withdrawn.
News of Mr Natzler's appointment was met with cheers by MPs in the Commons.
The recruitment of a new Clerk, Parliament's most senior legal and constitutional adviser, has been dogged by argument over the past nine months.
MPs said Ms Mills, the original choice of the House of Commons commission who works in the Australian Parliament, did not have the relevant constitutional experience and accused Mr Bercow of a "stitch-up".
Mr Bercow insisted that the appointment must have the confidence of MPs and "paused" the recruitment process before re-starting it.
As part of a modernisation of procedures, the current responsibilities of the Clerk will now be split, with a new post of Commons director-general taking over responsibility for the day-to-day commercial and administrative functions of the Commons.
Announcing Mr Natzler's appointment in the Commons, Mr Bercow said he had been chosen from a field of four candidates.
Welcoming the appointment, David Cameron joked that Mr Bercow had "gone to the ends of the earth" to find the most qualified candidate and he was "very glad he found the right answer right here in Britain".
Labour leader Ed Miliband said Mr Natzler's appointment was "well deserved".

Using measurements from an infrared telescope in Hawaii, a UK and US team found evidence for temperatures as high as 1,500C - hundreds of degrees warmer than anywhere else on the planet.
They suggest the hotspot is created by thunderous soundwaves "breaking" in the thin upper reaches of the atmosphere.
The research is published in Nature.
It arguably solves what planetary scientists had dubbed an "energy crisis" for gas giants like Jupiter: temperatures in their upper atmospheres soar much higher than can be explained by solar energy - especially given their vast distances from the Sun.
If the mysterious heat were generated by local sources, like Jupiter's famous storm, then the conundrum would be solved - and these measurements are the first direct evidence of any such activity.
Study co-author Dr Tom Stallard, from the University of Leicester, said this was a major step forward in a "20-30 year odyssey" to try and understand heat flow on Jupiter.
"Ever since Voyager, we've had measurements of the temperature at the top of Jupiter's atmosphere, and it's been hot across the whole globe - from the poles, all the way to the equator," he told the BBC.
Jupiter's enormous, dramatic aurora can explain the heat in the polar regions, but for that warmth to reach the equator would require incredibly dramatic mixing, which modelling studies haven't been able to support.
"There's no real excuse for it to be so hot," said Dr James O'Donoghue from Boston University, the paper's first author.
The freshly discovered spike in temperature, detected using a spectrometer at the Nasa Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF) in Mauna Kea, Hawaii, offers a solution.
Several hundred km directly above the clouds of the Great Red Spot, the hotspot suggests that high-altitude heat is somehow created by the turmoil beneath.
"Several people have argued that it's likely that the heat comes from below, but the observations have never backed them up," Dr Stallard said.
He and his colleagues don't know exactly what is causing the heat, but they have some ideas. It could be driven by great Jovian thunderclaps, rumbling upwards from the churning red clouds of the Solar System's biggest storm.
"You get some kind of acoustic event, probably thunder or something like that - or possibly other forms of sound energy - and that propagates directly upwards," Dr Stallard explained.
"That wave will continue going upwards until it reaches a lower-density region at the top of the atmosphere, and then it breaks and deposits all that wave energy into the top of the atmosphere, just like waves break on the shore - as the water gets thinner, it's less able to carry that wave and so it breaks and you see lots of energy."
There is a precedent for such sound-driven warming much closer to home, according to Dr O'Donoghue.
"There is some evidence in Earth's atmosphere, above storms and above features such as mountains - the Andes mountains in fact - that there are acoustic waves emanating from them, and that they propagate up into the atmosphere and cause heating there," he said.
The key to revealing the temperature spike was a tiny ion: H3+, a hydrogen molecule (H2) with an added proton. It is incredibly reactive and consequently, short-lived and rare on Earth. But in the sparse fringe of Jupiter's outer atmosphere there is almost nothing else for it to react with.
Crucially, this ion works like a glowing, long-range thermometer for scientists, if they have the right sort of telescope - such as the spectrometer at the IRTF, which gathered the relevant data in a single nine-hour window back in 2012.
"Just by measuring its light, you can find out the temperature wherever it is," said Dr O'Donoghue. "And it's throughout all of the gas giant upper atmospheres - so it's essentially an in situ temperature probe."
Further insights might come from Nasa's Juno spacecraft, now in orbit around Jupiter after its five-year trek.
Dr Stallard said that telescopes around the world were trained on the gas giant to take parallel measurements - and his team had planned their observations with the mission in mind.
"We thought, this is something that we haven't addressed, and it needed addressing. We've really ramped up our studies away from the aurora.
"Juno's going to reveal magnificent levels of detail about... what the aurora are and how they're generated. But it will be interesting to see how much it tells us about the non-auroral regions and the top of the atmosphere.
"Obviously it's been designed to look deep, and to look at the aurora at the poles, but potentially Juno could reveal a lot more."

The birds, which are native to southern Europe, set up nests by burrowing tunnels in the banks of Low Gelt Quarry, near Brampton.
An RSPB viewpoint on the perimeter of the quarry has attracted more than 1,000 people in two weeks.
The RSPB said all chicks had hatched and would fledge in the next few weeks.
The pairs were discovered by a foreman, who noticed the colourful birds flying among the site's colony of nesting sand martins. They are expected to leave the nest in about four weeks.
Two pairs successfully raised chicks on the Isle of Wight last year and previously in County Durham in 2002.
An RSPB spokesman said they were "delighted" the birds had bred in the UK for a second consecutive summer.
Bee-eaters can burrow up to 10ft (3m) and usually lay clutches of four to nine eggs. | Visitors have flocked to Cumbria to see two pairs of rare bee-eater birds which set up their home at a quarry. | 33957688 | [

A special unit was waiting for the man inside the shop Passeig de Gracia, Barcelona's biggest shopping street.
Interpol believes the gang carried out at least 380 armed robberies jewellery shops between 1999 and 2015.
Most of those arrested are from eastern Europe.
One of the men robbing the shop was armed, police said. German and Serbian authorities were involved in the build-up to the raid.
In February 2014, Pink Panther gang member Borko Ilincic was arrested in Madrid. He was accused of being involved in the spectacular robbery of a jewellery store in Dubai's al-Wafi Mall in 2007.
He appeared in court in Dubai for the first time in June after his extradition to the United Arab Emirates.
Many of the gang's members hail from the Balkans and have also hit Tokyo and London. Interpol estimates they have stolen close to €334m ($371m; £283m) of jewellery.
The Pink Panthers were given their name when police in London made an arrest in 2003, and found a diamond ring hidden in a jar of face cream - a ploy used in the original Pink Panther comedies starring Peter Sellers. | Police in Barcelona have arrested five suspected members of the so-called "Pink Panthers" gang as they tried to rob a jewellery shop. | 36992122 | [

Launching its general election manifesto, party leader Leanne Wood said she wanted an "end to austerity".
Ms Wood said the four Westminster leaders offered "nothing more than further swingeing cuts" to voters.
Plaid says it will negotiate jointly with the SNP and the Greens if there is a hung parliament.
Plaid Cymru wants the devolved Welsh government funded to the same level per head of population as the Scottish government - which it says amounts to £1.2bn extra a year.
At the party's launch event in Bangor, Ms Leanne Wood accused the UK parties of giving "no commitment to securing an economic recovery for all".
Plaid wants to restore the 50p income tax rate for earnings above £150,000, increase National Insurance contributions for higher earners and put a tax on sugary drinks.
Ms Wood also pledged to create up to 50,000 jobs by awarding more public contracts to Welsh firms.
Main pledges
Plaid's manifesto contains plenty of familiar territory but there's no mention of the £1.2bn which is repeatedly referred to by Leanne Wood as the extra funding Wales needs to achieve parity with Scotland.
It talks about the creation of an independent commission to resolve funding issues in future.
Elsewhere, there are plans to reintroduce the 50p top rate of income tax.
Independence is not mentioned until page 36 out of a 64 page document, and then only briefly. | Plaid Cymru has promised more cash for Welsh public services, an extra 1,000 medical jobs and to scrap taxes for 70,000 small businesses. | 32121968 | [

The Northern Irishman's win in the Tour Championship, which also saw him land the $10m (£7.7m) FedEx Cup prize, was his second victory in three weeks.
"We were all in the bar watching last night when he won. It was a great moment and a huge boost," Lawrie said.
"He is obviously back to his best and that bodes well for the team."
Lawrie, 47, flew out to the United States on Monday with captain Darren Clarke and other members of the European team.
The Scot, one of five vice-captains alongside Thomas Bjorn, Sam Torrance, Padraig Harrington and Ian Poulter, insists the Europeans are not fazed by the United States' billing as favourites on home soil.
"I don't think it really matters if we are the underdogs or not," Lawrie said. "Everyone is extremely happy with the team we have got. There are lot of unbelievable players in there.
"We are going to focus on what we can bring to the party, and we are all really looking forward to it.
"I think the boys will lean quite heavily on you as a vice-captain. Darren has not chosen you and is not asking for your opinion if you are not going to give it.
"I have no problem giving it if he asks me. I have known him a long time and I will give him an honest answer."
With six rookies among Europe's line-up, Lawrie hopes his two Ryder Cups as a player - both in America - will be beneficial to the team.
Lawrie contributed 3½ points to the 'Battle of Brookline' in 1999, when the US recovered from 10-6 down to win 14½-13½, a contest remembered for most of the US team invading the 17th green thinking the match was over while Jose Maria Olazabal still had a putt to halve the hole against Justin Leonard.
He also featured in the 'Miracle of Medinah' four years ago, as Europe completed a stunning comeback from 10-4 down during the Saturday afternoon fourballs to win 14½-13½, the Scot winning his singles match for a second time.
"We all know how tough it is to play out there," Lawrie added. "The fans get into it and the majority of the fans watching are American and home supporters.
"I hope to be able to pass on to the boys who have not played over there before what it is like, and what they can expect."
The first practice day is on Tuesday, with the three-day contest starting on Friday, 30 September with the first foursomes at 13:35 BST, and the fourballs scheduled to follow at 18:30 BST.
The match concludes with the singles on Sunday, 2 October, starting at 17:00 BST. | Vice-captain Paul Lawrie says Rory McIlroy's recent form is a "huge boost" to Europe's Ryder Cup team ahead of this week's contest at Hazeltine. | 37478638 | [

The 12-year old was snatched by the crocodile while swimming with friends in a water hole in Kakadu National Park, in the Northern Territory.
Rangers said neither of the two crocodiles appeared to be the attacker, and that the search would continue.
Another boy was also mauled by the crocodile, but managed to escape.
Australian police searched overnight for the crocodile and the seized boy.
They said that two crocodiles, one measuring 4.3m (14ft) and the other 4.7m (15ft), had been shot and examined in the course of their search.
"We've since had a look at both crocodiles and neither of them had anything in their stomachs," Sergeant Stephen Constable said.
"We're going to continue the search today," he added.
Officials say visitors are warned not to swim in Kakadu's watering holes because of the risk of crocodile attacks.
Saltwater crocodiles can grow up 7m (23ft) long and weigh more than a tonne. They are a common feature of Australia's tropical north.
In August, a man was killed by a crocodile as he swam in a river in the north during a birthday party. | Australian police have shot two crocodiles dead in a search for a missing 12-year-old boy attacked by a crocodile on Sunday. | 25908525 | [

The 18-year-old, who can play as a striker or winger, spent the first half of the campaign on loan with Town's League One rivals Oxford United.
Oxford were keen to extend the deal for the entire season, but the Wales Under-19 international has opted instead to move to Shropshire.
He has scored twice for Oxford this term, both in knockout competitions.
Roberts, who has made 14 substitute appearances in League One this season, made his Albion debut as a 17-year-old on the final day of last season as a 73rd-minute substitute in the 1-1 home draw with Liverpool.

TV coverage showed hundreds of empty seats at Leicester City's third-round replay against Spurs, with many home fans missing the start of the game.
One supporter claimed the delays at the King Power Stadium, caused by ticketing problems, could have "turned nasty".
Leicester City FC has apologised and launched an investigation.
Live updates and more from Leicestershire
Joe Walker, a Foxes fan, said he arrived at the ground at about 19:25 GMT and saw "thousands of people attempting to gain access".
He said after 20 minutes in the queue his "print at home" ticket was rejected at the turnstile and he was told to go to the ticket office to get a new one.
"We then walked towards the sub ticket office and as I questioned another steward he just laughed and said: 'You should see the queues for it'."
Mr Walker eventually had a ticket printed at the main office, but described the way staff managed the situation as "a shambles".
"Not one announcement had been made over the loudspeaker system," he said.
"There was no organization or information coming from any of the stewards. It could have easily have turned quite nasty with the sheer amount of people."
Leicester City FC said: "A significant number of supporters experienced difficulty gaining admission to the stadium, resulting in many missing the start of the match.
"The club is currently investigating the cause of Wednesday night's delays as a priority, to ensure any difficulties experienced are not repeated at future home matches."

German Shepherd Finn was injured early one October morning while protecting his handler from a suspected armed robber.
The seven-year-old fought for survival, helped every step of the way by his handler PC Dave Wardell.
BBC News looks back at how his recovery captured the hearts of thousands and inspired a petition calling on the government to re-think the laws surrounding injured police support animals. | A police dog stabbed on duty returned to the beat earlier this month after life-saving surgery. | 38342183 | [

Saturday's 28-20 loss at Worcester Warriors kept the Falcons pinned to the foot of the table, and was the fourth defeat of the new campaign.
London Irish have also yet to record a win, but have better points difference.
"We're a much better side than that, there's far more to come out from us," Richards told BBC Newcastle.
"We haven't quite got our attack sorted out yet and our defence is all over the place - if we got one of those sorted out it wouldn't be a problem.
"The defence was woeful in the first half and oddly we won the second half 3-0, but I'm frustrated more than anything."
Saturday's game was the first in which all of the World Cup duty players had been available, with Argentina centre Juan Pablo Socino restored to the starting line-up.
However, not even his introduction helped, as errors continued to plague the Falcons' attempts to end their pointless run.
"At half-time it was about getting it right and understanding where we had gone wrong defensively - which was one-on-one tackles and a few ill-discipline issues, such as lifting the leg in the line-out five metres from their line," said Richards.
"Those things made a big difference, and we're doing it week in, week out and it's the same people who are doing it unfortunately." | Newcastle Falcons are yet to show their true potential after a "frustrating" winless start to the Premiership, says director of rugby Dean Richards. | 34767143 | [

Mr Richards, 19, from Wednesbury, was among 38 killed when a Tunisian student linked to Islamic State extremists opened fire on a beach in Sousse on Friday.
He was a Walsall FC fan, football referee and student at the University of Worcester.
Chief executive of the Birmingham County Football Association, Chad Ehlertsen, said "it just makes you smile every time you think about Joel."
"He was just a leader of young people; a good organiser, a good communicator and an extremely talented young referee," Mr Ehlertsen said. | One of the victims of the Tunisia beach attacks, Joel Richards, has been described as a leader of young people. | 33312430 | [

The Office for National Statistics experts base their projections on current and future survival trends.
And if their calculations are borne out, more than 95,000 of those who turn 65 this year can expect to celebrate their 100th birthday in 2047.
The number of centenarians has been steadily increasing - from 600 in 1961 to nearly 13,000 in 2010.
In 2012, the figure is expected to hit 14,500, and by 2035 will have breached the 100,000 mark.
And more of these will be women than men.
In 2012 there are 826,000 babies aged under one year. Although more are boys - 423,000 compared to 403,000 girls - the survival odds are greater for females. Women have higher life expectancies than men at every age.
Of those born in 2012, 135,000 men and 156,000 women are expected to still be alive by age 100.
The report -What are the Chances of Surviving to Age 100?- comes as ministers have pledged to double funding for dementia research in the UK.
In the next decade, the number with the disease - mostly elderly - is expected to top one million. | A third of babies born in 2012 in the UK are expected to live to 100, according to a new report. | 17511012 | [

At a post-match conference the French Open champion was asked whether she knew which stars had been watching her play from the Royal Box at Centre Court.
David Beckham was a "great guy" she said. But what about the other sportsman at the scene, Indian cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar?
She did not know who he was.
This is how Indians responded. #WhoisMariaSharapova is now trending worldwide.
As Sachin Tendulkar is clearly a god, then there is one perfectly understandable reason why Maria Sharapova would not know who he is - she must be an atheist, many tweeted.
Doctored images of Sharapova, picturing her hunched on the ground in apparent supplication in front of Tendulkar, made their rounds on the internet
One user @prasadvanjale urged God to "forgive her, for she doesn't know, what she is doing" †| Maria Sharapova may have been knocked out of Wimbledon, but in India she has hit the headlines with comments that are, for many Indians, akin to blasphemy. | 28142116 | [

President Raul Castro said "attempts to destroy the revolution" would fail.
Mr Trump has tightened restrictions on US travel to and business with the communist island.
But the US embassy in Havana, re-opened by former President Barack Obama, is still operating.
Mr Castro was speaking in front of Cuba's national assembly. It was his first public comment on the policy changes Mr Trump announced a month ago.
State-run Cuban media quoted Mr Castro as saying that Mr Trump was using "old and hostile rhetoric" and had returned to "confrontation that roundly failed over 55 years".
He said: "We reject the manipulation of the topic of human rights against Cuba, which can be proud of much in this area and does not need to receive lessons from the United States nor anyone."
Mr Trump anchored his policy rollback in human rights concerns raised by political opponents of Cuba's communist government, many of whom have fled to Miami where Mr Trump announced the changes on 16 June.
Mr Castro continued: "Cuba and the United States can cooperate and live side by side, respecting their differences. But no one should expect that for this, one should have to make concessions inherent to one's sovereignty and independence."
Mr Castro will step down as president in seven months, but will remain the head of the country's Communist Party. | The president of Cuba has spoken publicly for the first time against US President Donald Trump's rollback of a thaw between the two countries a month ago. | 40615948 | [

Nuclear war, global warming and genetically-engineered viruses are among the scenarios he singles out.
And he says that further progress in science and technology will create "new ways things can go wrong".
Prof Hawking is giving this year's BBC Reith Lectures, which explore research into black holes, and his warning came in answer to audience questions.
He says that assuming humanity eventually establishes colonies on other worlds, it will be able to survive.
"Although the chance of a disaster to planet Earth in a given year may be quite low, it adds up over time, and becomes a near certainty in the next thousand or ten thousand years.
"By that time we should have spread out into space, and to other stars, so a disaster on Earth would not mean the end of the human race.
"However, we will not establish self-sustaining colonies in space for at least the next hundred years, so we have to be very careful in this period."
Prof Hawking's first Reith Lecture will be broadcast on 26 January and on 2 February at 9am on BBC Radio 4. BBC World Service listeners can tune in on 26 January at 15:06 GMT and 2 February at 15:06 GMT or catch up online via www.bbc.com/worldserviceradio
BBC News online will be publishing the text of Prof Hawking's lectures with accompanying notes by our science editor, David Shukman.
iWonder: A brief history of Stephen Hawking
It is ironic that such a prominent figure in science identifies scientific progress itself as the major source of new threats.
On previous occasions, he has highlighted the potential risks of artificial intelligence (AI) becoming powerful enough to cause the extinction of the human race.
But he insists that ways will be found to cope.
"We are not going to stop making progress, or reverse it, so we have to recognise the dangers and control them. I'm an optimist, and I believe we can."
Asked for advice for young scientists, Prof Hawking said they should retain a sense of wonder about "our vast and complex" Universe.
"From my own perspective, it has been a glorious time to be alive and doing research in theoretical physics. There is nothing like the Eureka moment of discovering something that no one knew before."
But he also said that future generations of researchers should be aware of how scientific and technological progress is changing the world, and to help the wider public understand it.
"It's important to ensure that these changes are heading in the right directions. In a democratic society, this means that everyone needs to have a basic understanding of science to make informed decisions about the future.
"So communicate plainly what you are trying to do in science, and who knows, you might even end up understanding it yourself."
Since his diagnosis with motor neurone disease, Prof Hawking's determination to overcome the immense physical challenges of his disability has been a source of worldwide admiration and fascination.
His daughter Lucy, a journalist and writer, who has co-written children's science books with Prof Hawking, was asked to explain his drive.
"I think he's enormously stubborn and has a very enviable wish to keep going and the ability to summon all his reserves, all his energy, all his mental focus and press them all into that goal of keeping going," she said.
"But not just to keep going for the purposes of survival, but to transcend this by producing extraordinary work, writing books, giving lectures, inspiring other people with neurodegenerative and other disabilities, and being a family man, a friend and a colleague to so many people and keeping up with friends across the world."

From implementing plans to further grow their companies, to dealing with the likely problems that will need to be overcome, this is the time of year when forward planning is the centre of attention.
Here some of the best business leaders - and rock music legends - profiled in 2015 for the BBC's The Boss slot share their thoughts on running or setting up a business in 2016.
Have a clear objective. Understand the DNA of your business.
What you put in is what you get out. Do not take "no" or "can't" as an answer.
Socialise and network within your industry.
Get rid of all your loser friends. You know the ones - they drink too much, they get high. And like vampires they will suck the life blood out of you.
That may not leave you with very many friends, but… in business your friends will not be much help.
You're too young and not rich enough to take vacations. Work, it's a good word.
There are many reasons people get into business. For me it was creative pursuit, and being a creator of my own destiny.
You need to build your business the right way for the right reasons. If it is just for the money then you will only have a business short term.
New companies are hungry for cash, so anything you are making will go straight back into the business. And often the founder, who is working 120 hours a week, is the last person to see any returns for a long time from their hard yards.
Yet these are the businesses that succeed, and in the long run are the ones that are truly successful. By contrast, firms that are stripped of their cash to "fund" the lifestyle of their owners are very short-lived.
Building a business on passion and hard work, and surrounding yourself with great people, is the recipe for success.
Be digitally minded - digital is a vital part of any business now, and it goes beyond just having a good website and being on social media.
Consumers want a digital experience across all elements of any business they engage with, and they want it to be seamless.
Diversify - think about how your business can grow and diversify in to new areas, but always ensure these new areas reflect your customer demographic.
I always look for new ways to evolve the brand, and in early 2016 we will be launching Rabbit, our own dating app.
Listen - this is a tip that's relevant every year, never stop listening to your customers. They are the most vital source of information and their feedback is invaluable.
When leading your business, focus on what makes you different - not what is generic.
This allows your team, customers and suppliers to all "buy in" to why your business matters, and why it is worth joining, and staying and working with.
It also means that everyone is better focused on your competitive advantage and unique proposition.
Talk about what makes your business what it is.
Collective wisdom says that goal-setting, planning and managing your time wisely are critical for success.
However, there is a secret formula to achieving objectives that is widely overlooked - do what you dread first!
Tackle the task, have the conversation, do the mundane that you least want to do at the beginning of your day.
It takes incredible discipline to start with the unexciting, but when you complete the task, you avoid using psychic energy towards fretting about what you're avoiding.
You will open yourself up to more inspiration and imagination and find more time to accomplish greatness.
In business, no two weeks are ever the same, but if your company has been in existence for a year or more, then analyse and learn from the previous 12 months.
Identify the surge periods and the quiet moments, and make sure that you have the proper staffing levels in place, as well as being ready to pre-empt problems and capitalise upon perennial opportunities.
As they grow, far too many businesses become rigidly hierarchical - the distance growing between senior management and the staff on the frontline.
Beyond the obvious fact that layers of bureaucracy are an enemy to innovation, listening to all staff members, irrespective of their position, is crucial. Not only does such engagement prove good for morale, but the insights that staff can offer could be the thing that changes your business for the better.
Having landed a big contract or launched a new service, it is entirely understandable that maintaining this new workload becomes a priority for a business. However, it should not do so to the complete detriment of maintaining company growth.
Keep on implementing new business strategies and growth plans at all times. It may seem an obvious point to make, but so many companies become wholly dependent on one big client or project that they suddenly find themselves in deep trouble should they lose the work.
Setting up your own business requires enormous focus, drive and ambition, coupled with an incredibly hard work ethic.
You need funding, and you need relentless energy. Charm and wit help.
You also need to have a decent pair of rose tinted glasses to hand as if you knew all the pitfalls before you started you probably wouldn't do it.
But my one piece of advise is that outside legal and finance issues - don't listen to anyone, don't read business books, and do things your own way.
Technology and new ideas are changing the world faster than people can become experts in it. Don't follow the crowd - think for yourself, be different and break the mould.
The most important things when starting a business are - don't lie, don't pretend, and don't mislead your executives and the masses. And be passionate about the mission, have an innovative mind, and be totally honest in implementing your vision.
Hiring the best team is a matter of luck. Bosses must keep their eyes open not to allow politics, dishonesty and indiscipline. Anybody who gets involved with these three, should be sent home immediately. In my experience, referrals are the best source of fine personnel.
How long does it take for positive returns? Management is about making things happen, managing changes.
If the vision is innovative and supported by all requisites, i.e. finances, production planning, and strong administration, then success needs short gestation.
Innovation is not only required for product, but also for administrative and financial systems. Slow progress can be tolerated, but negativity beyond a short space of time - in spite of the excellent management team - should indicate the time is ready to pull the plug.
There ought to be constant innovation in both product, resources and management. Without personal commitment and understanding of people's psyche, the best can fail. A successful entrepreneur needs divine grace, commitment to the cause, discipline and courage.
Entrepreneurs have a different level of risk taking.
In life we all have a risk threshold. There are people for whom not having secured their regular monthly salary cheque is daunting.
You have to believe in yourself, and then you have just got to go for it.
Depending on where you are on the risk register separates the very calculated "I need to know all the answers" type of person, from the 'I've got a good gut feel about this, I'm just going to give it a go' person. To be honest, the later one is the kind of person I am. I'll have a go.
I don't take on unnecessary risk. But if you want dead certs they don't come your way. They don't exist.
Reconsider your marketing. If your marketing is the same as others in your sector, you're doing it wrong.
Make sure that your customer can work out the value for money. If they can't, you don't deserve to retain them.

Mr Marshall-Andrews told The Times he had jumped ship in light of the Brexit campaign and Labour's refusal to stand aside in the Richmond Park by-election.
The QC and barrister was MP for Medway from 1997 to 2010.
A Labour spokesman said: "Bob Marshall-Andrews has not been a member of the Labour Party for some years."
Lib Dem leader Tim Farron said he was "coming over to the only party that is offering a credible opposition to a divisive Tory Brexit government".
Mr Marshall-Andrews used to sit with the socialist group of Labour MPs alongside Mr Corbyn and shadow chancellor John McDonnell.
He pointed to last year's by-election in South West London as a key moment in his decision-making.
That Richmond Park election saw the Conservatives and UKIP stand aside in order to avoid taking votes from Zac Goldsmith, while the Greens refused to put up a candidate to allow the Lib Dems a free run. Labour rejected calls to not put up a candidate.
"Faced with a common enemy on this historic issue there was an urgent requirement for a common strategy if not common sense. Labour rejected both and fielded a candidate," said Mr Marshall-Andrews. | Former Labour MP Bob Marshall-Andrews has defected to the Lib Dems after describing Jeremy Corbyn's party as a "political basket case". | 39651785 | [

Then you look at the statistics, and a more complicated picture emerges: a 30-point winning margin but less possession than Italy, less territory, more tackles missed and fewer line breaks made.
Nit-picking or nagging doubts? That is the problem with thrilling wins like the one in Cardiff: they inflate expectations, convince the giddy that a team is not just ascendant but untroubled.
England started slowly, again, and were once again behind with a quarter of the contest gone. They then took control for half an hour, played with pace and imagination and considerable verve, and were out of sight by the time Italy staged their late and immaterial fight-back.
That will be enough for some. In the corresponding fixture two years ago Stuart Lancaster's men were held try-less. In Jonathan Joseph they had not only Saturday's outstanding performer but a young dancer and dasher who is terrifying defenders and delighting supporters every time he is given the ball.
Lancaster, for one, wants more. Miss 22 tackles in Dublin on Sunday week and he knows dreams of a Grand Slam will remain exactly that. Give away breakdown penalties to a side with a player who can kick off the tee - Ireland's Johnny Sexton will not be as profligate as Italy 10 Kelly Haimona - and it will be a far steeper road back.
For George Ford, man of the match in the Millennium, this was a different sort of challenge in a different sort of match.
So far in his nascent Test career the 21-year-old fly-half has had to deal with a disorganised Samoa, an Australian pack going backwards at pace and a giant Welsh back-line determined to dent both his confidence and body.
A week ago there was plenty of kicking from hand, a resolve under intense pressure, a premium on his penalty points.
On Saturday he could have missed every effort from the Twickenham turf and still seen his side win with something to spare. Instead it was all about the attack - controlling the tempo, choosing his options, freeing the talent outside him.
He began well, clearing from his own line off his weaker foot after Ben Youngs' poor pass had cut his time and space. A minute later he was putting a probing kick deep into Italian territory, dabbing another into the 22 only to see it gathered to begin the move that led, 70 metres and two minutes later, to Sergio Parisse's opening try for Italy.
Ford, as the win over Wales showed, is not cowed by early disappointment. It was his precision long-range penalty tight to the corner flag that set up England's opening try through Billy Vunipola's line-out drive, his ability to play flat to the gain-line that was creating options for the runners and ball-carriers cantering in support.
Not always did he make the right choice. Half an hour in he wasted turnover ball with a poor kick straight down the gullet of his opposite number Haimona. At other times he became a fraction static, passing the ball standing still rather than running at the defensive line to commit and confuse defenders.
But in his vision and hands he has what England fans crave from their number 10: creativity, a little conjuring, the quickness of mind and foot to make it count against a well-drilled defence.
So it was in the move that led to Joseph's second try. He hung behind his pack, hinting that he might drift down the blind-side, then scything back round to the open spaces on the right after Billy Twelvetrees had come in at first receiver.
Twelvetrees timed his pass behind Luther Burrell, and then Ford worked his magic - spotting Anthony Watson drawing one defender wide, faking a quick pass outside to Joseph and then delaying it a fraction as the covering man committed, before popping up a pass for his Bath team-mate to come onto at full pace.
After the conversion he was gone, replaced for the final hurrah by another creative mind in Danny Cipriani. But the learning-curve continues, his precocious talents an increasingly pivotal part of Lancaster's plans.
His personal stats were solid rather than spectacular: 15 points, just one kick missed from tee from seven, 47 metres made with ball in hand, 31 accurate passes. His kicking style requires a little further fine-tuning, even if he has improved markedly in the last year.
There is so much there, and at such a young age, that few doubt that the progression will continue.
There is the character, preternatural yet visible from the moment he began playing in England's age-group teams ahead of his time. There are the little details, like the way he manages to almost imperceptibly shift his weight in contact to ride out or roll big tackles. And there is ambition: this is not enough, I must do more.
There is also a connection with the key men outside him. Joseph made more metres (123) than any other player, beat five men in seven carries, made two clean breaks. It was Ford's pass that set him away both times.
Together with the solidity of England's set-piece, the impact of their replacements and the form in other key positions of Chris Robshaw and Ben Youngs, it means England are aware of two things: they must aspire to better still, but they have the tools to get there.
Media playback is not supported on this device | After the unexpected delight for England supporters of last week's stirring comeback victory over Wales, Saturday's 47-17 win over Italy appears a predictable pleasure: six tries, some scintillating running, a 21st victory in 21 contests between the two. | 31475112 | [

Powell, 22, scored 12 goals in 41 appearances for Championship side Wigan during a loan spell in 2013-14.
He joined United for £3m from Crewe in 2012 and was loaned out to Leicester City and Hull City before his contract expired in June.
"He is the one player we wanted this summer and we are so happy we've got him," said Wigan boss Gary Caldwell. | Wigan Athletic have signed former Manchester United midfielder Nick Powell on a three-year contract. | 36779804 | [

It was in response to a bomb threat made over the phone, local media said. The incident was not terror related.
The man, 39, is now in hospital for medical assessment, police said. The area has since been declared safe.
Last December, three people died, including a gunman, after a hostage situation in nearby Martin Place.
Superintendent Mark Walton from Sydney Police told ABC News that the area was shut down as police searched the man's vehicle for dangerous items.
An explosive detection dog and bomb technicians cleared the area, he said.
"It's apparent this man made those threats to draw attention to a grievance that he has," Supt Walton said.
The man was being detained under the mental health act and undergoing questioning and assessment, Supt Walton added. | A man has been arrested in Sydney after reports of a suspicious package caused police to lock down a part of the central business district. | 32747623 | [

They have been the biggest student protests to hit the country since apartheid ended in 1994.
The students had rejected an earlier government offer to cap increases at 6%, down from the 10% to 12% proposed by the management of universities.
Mr Zuma announced the move as students gathered by his office in the capital.
Before he spoke in a TV address, police had been using stun grenades and water cannon to stop a group of students breaking into the Union Buildings, the seat of government in Pretoria.
The demonstrations have closed some of the country's top universities.
"We agreed that there will be a zero increase of university fees in 2016," Mr Zuma said after meeting university officials and student representatives.
"In the long term, there is a package of issues that was raised at the meeting that needs to be followed up - these include free education, institutional autonomy [and] racism."
Analysis: Milton Nkosi, BBC News, Pretoria
President Zuma's agreement to freeze all university increases to meet the demands of the #FeesMustFall campaign will be welcomed by those who have been at the forefront of this student movement, unprecedented since the end of apartheid.
But the decision could have been taken much earlier. The protests have been going on for a little over a week. If it had been, we could have avoided the stun grenades and tear gas, which were fired at student protesters here at the Union Buildings.
The protests have cut across South Africa's deep political divide: Black and white, rich and poor stood side by side. No political parties were involved. This is taking the country in a new direction of organic, popular protest, likely to play into next year's local government elections.
The hashtag #FeesHaveFallen is now trending across the country, but I doubt this will be the end of the problems facing South Africa's students.
There were chaotic scenes at the Union Buildings following the president's speech, with some students angry that Mr Zuma had chosen to make the address on national TV, rather than come out to speak to them directly.
Pictures on social media showed police cars that had been damaged and one which was overturned.
It is unclear how the freeze on South African university fees will be funded, Vice Chancellor of the University of Cape Town, Max Price, told the BBC after attending meeting with the president.
The government said it did not know how much they would pay or where the money would come from, he added.
Local media reported that police fired rubber bullets to drive protesters away from the grounds around the president's office.
During the protests, universities said they needed to increase fees to maintain standards, a they had been hit by a fall by in government subsidies.
Correspondents say the protests have shown the growing disillusionment with the governing African National Congress (ANC), which took power after minority rule ended in 1994, over high levels of poverty, unemployment and corruption in government.
Many black students say they come from poor families, and the fee increases would rob them of the opportunity to continue studying.
Financially better-off white students have also joined in, mainly to show solidarity with the black students. | South African President Jacob Zuma has ruled out any increases in university tuition fees for next year after more than a week of protests by students. | 34618724 | [

Winners of the cup competition earn a place in the Europa League.
Four-time cup winners Forest have failed to progress past the third round for the past 11 seasons and start their campaign at Doncaster on Tuesday.
"It's very important because it is the only way to go into the Europa League," Montanier told BBC Radio Nottingham.
"I know it's difficult because there are a lot of teams from the Premier League and Championship. It will be a very important game."
Forest, two-time European Cup winners under Brian Clough in 1979 and 1980, who also guided the club to its four League Cup titles, last featured in European competition in the 1995-96 season, reaching the Uefa Cup quarter-finals.
The Reds, who last won the League Cup in 1990 and featured in the final in 1992, were knocked out of the competition by League One side Walsall 12 months ago.
Their trip to face League Two side Doncaster comes three days after Montanier oversaw Forest's Championship season opening victory against Burton Albion, in what was his first competitive match in English football.
Former Rennes boss Montanier also confirmed that the injury to goalkeeper Dorus de Vries, suffered in the 4-3 victory over Burton on Saturday, is not as bad as first feared.
"It will be a few weeks, but not serious," Montanier said. | Nottingham Forest manager Philippe Montanier says he wants to guide the Championship side into Europe next season as EFL Cup holders. | 37009754 | [

"In the meantime we need to get Alex over here as soon as possible."
Healy, 25, twisted his left leg in the 37th minute of the Lions' 69-17 win on Wednesday and had to be taken off on a stretcher in Perth.
The Ireland international has also been cited for allegedly biting Western Force scrum-half Brett Sheehan.
Corbisiero, 24, was part of the England squad currently in Argentina for the two-Test tour, but has been released immediately to join Gatland's team.
The Lions play Queensland Reds in the third match of their tour on Saturday.
"We're delighted for Alex," said England head coach Stuart Lancaster. "It's very pleasing for him after he missed the Six Nations through injury and he goes with our full support and blessing."
England have no plans to add a replacement to their squad in Argentina.
The Red Rose face the Pumas on Saturday (20:10 BST) in the first Test, before the sides meet again in the second Test on 15 June. | England prop Alex Corbisiero has been called up to the British and Irish Lions squad to provide cover for the injured Cian Healy. | 22790510 | [

The changes come as part of what the police force has called the "biggest shake-up" in policing in years.
The PSNI said the teams will "deal with community problems" and give "advice".
The first LPTs to launch will be based in Lurgan and Armagh city police stations in County Armagh. They will be supported by four mobile neighbourhood policing teams (NPTs).
The roll-out of all 26 LPTs is expected to be completed by 1 October.
Assistant Chief Constable Stephen Martin said policing in Northern Ireland is in a process of "transformation" due to "significant budget pressures" and new council structures.
He said "normal policing will carry on" and the new teams will respond to calls, conduct investigations, and "deal with community problems".
"They will provide advice and reassurance and spend time learning about what most affects communities in order to work with them to improve safety and quality of life," he said.
The 34 NPTs, which will be based in areas with higher levels of crime and deprivation, are to be set up with the aim of providing "an additional dedicated policing presence, reassurance and commitment to communities where it is most needed".
ACC Martin said restructuring means the number of police stations currently in existence is under review.
"The reality is that nearly all policing services are delivered outside of stations," he added.
"Policing isn't about buildings it is about officers working with the community in the community." | The Police Service of Northern Ireland has started to phase in local policing teams (LPTs). | 34032604 | [

The concert was held amid tight security at the heavily protected Intercontinental Hotel.
It was a rare music concert in the city.
Kabul has witnessed a series of suicide attacks and explosions in the past few months.
Saturday evening's concert was originally scheduled to be held in Ghazi stadium to mark the country's Independence Day. More than 3,000 tickets were sold at premium rates.
But the authorities said they could not guarantee security at that venue.
Ms Sayeed did not give up. She went ahead with her performance, but at a different venue.
Her fans were delighted.
"Despite the threats, I didn't think such a big number of girls would attend here. Fortunately, the number of women is bigger than men," said Bahar Sohaili, who attended the concert..
"I asked some of the girls: 'Why you are here?' They told me they were here to defy those who were against the concert."
Ms Sayeed, described by her fans as Afghanistan's Kim Kardashian, is known for her long hair and figure-hugging outfits, which are seen as taboo by many in Afghanistan.
Her music mixes traditional and folk songs rendered as pop. She sings both in Dari and Pashto, Afghanistan's two main languages.
A day before the concert, I interviewed Ms Sayeed. She said she was determined to go ahead with the concert, despite the threats.
"I am taking this as a very good excuse to be able to give a bit of happiness to my fellow Afghans, who are in dire need of it at the moment," she said.
She has received a number of death threats from those who say her outfits and public shows are an affront to Afghan culture.
"There are certain people in Afghanistan who have been against music, against celebration, against even New Year, Eid and everything. I feel like today we need to stand together and fight against it," said Ms Sayeed.
"At the end of the day, we are also human beings and these are basic human needs - music, celebration, Independence Day, New Year."
Ms Sayeed said she would donate the proceeds from the concert to the families of those killed by Islamist militants in an attack on the village of Mirza Olong in northern Sar-e-Pul province. | Hundreds of young men and women attended a concert by Afghan pop star Aryana Sayeed in the capital Kabul despite opposition from conservatives, and threats of an attack. | 40993420 | [

But they are also applicable when you meet Sara Cox - English rugby union's only referee at Rio 2016.
After a 92-year absence, rugby union is back on the biggest stage sport has to offer, with Sevens tournaments for men and women.
"Everybody knows the Olympics is a great sporting event, no matter what sport you're involved in," said Cox, during a break between matches at the European Sevens series event at Sandy Park, the home of Exeter Chiefs.
"To have the chance to go out there and to have the best seat in the house is a fantastic opportunity."
A former player, the 26-year-old Cox turned to refereeing in 2007 after being injured, and nine years later has become the sole woman to be centrally-contracted as a match official by the Rugby Football Union.
As well as taking charge of top women's matches, Cox also referees men's games at semi-professional level in National Two South.
"Rugby is a game of respect, and it doesn't matter who you are, you go on the pitch and you're there to do a job. I don't see myself any different to my male counterparts," she replied, when asked the obligatory 'woman in a man's world' question.
"Over the years I've been a bit of an unknown - there's not many of us that are active at the moment, and climbing through the ranks we become fewer and fewer.
"You're there on the pitch to facilitate the game and the players don't mind that, it doesn't matter that I'm a female."
When you ask an Olympics-bound athlete what their goals are, the answer is usually pretty simple - personal best, get on the podium, maybe a gold medal - but what about a referee?
"My goal is to go far as possible, so if that means I referee the gold medal final, then absolutely fantastic," she said.
"It's not that much different for us compared to the athletes. We don't come away with a medal, but to be involved in that medal race with the teams is what you aim to do.
"I want to go out there, enjoy the experience and gather as much experience as well - and whatever comes after that comes after that."
There has never been a woman referee in charge of a Premiership rugby match.
If Cox impresses in Rio, who is to say she will not be rubbing shoulders with the likes of Wayne Barnes or JP Doyle in years to come?

Snowdonia Giving asks businesses in the national park to press visitors for a small contribution to add to bills.
Launched six months ago, so far 28 companies have signed up.
Nearly £3,500 in donations has been raised, with most going to a Snowdonia Society training programme.
John Harold, director of the society, said: "This is the Snowdonia Society's 50th anniversary and this is a real birthday present for us.
"What it does is it allows us to complete the circle of giving - visitors and locals giving voluntarily to these local businesses.
"We take our volunteers out to help look after Snowdon and the surrounding area, and this funding gives us the chance to give something back to those volunteers."
The Snowdonia Giving project cash will be used to give 48 young people the chance to learn both conservation and mountain skills, which will go towards an accredited qualification.
"What we find is, there are plenty of young people who are willing to come out and volunteer, many of whom would like to work outdoors, some of whom want to work in conservation," added Mr Harold.
"The problem these days is getting experience and getting that experience on your CV - and this is one of the things we can help them with."
Josh Feilden runs one of the firms that has been taking part in the pilot project, running a sustainable bunkhouse lodging business called Crashpad Lodge on the slopes of Snowdon.
He said visitors staying with him were eager to take part.
"It is surprising how much impact and how involved they want to be in it," he said.
"If they know they are putting money towards a good contribution, which it is going to go to, they are more than happy."
Another business owner, Ross Worthington, who runs the outdoor training specialists Raw Adventures with his wife Kate, who is also chairwoman of the British Mountaineering Council in Wales.
He is convinced the "exciting" project can expand and deliver even more for the communities across Snowdonia.
"We have a new season ahead, lots more engagement with people, with other companies, and it's looking like a really promising scheme," he added.
The project is due to run until October this year, with the social enterprise Arloesi Gwynedd Wledig pulling together all the strands of the scheme for now.
Its co-ordinator Rhian Hughes added: "It has been well received by visitors out there, because it is a voluntary donation and not something that is forced on the visitor, and people are quite happy to donate." | A pilot project asking tourists to put money into communities they visit in Snowdonia has raised enough to train nearly 50 young people in conservation and outdoor skills, organisers say. | 38722524 | [

In an even first leg of few chances, Walsh's quality hit from range with 16 minutes remaining gave the English league champions the edge.
City should have gone ahead through Scotland's Jane Ross, but she hesitated after rounding the Brondby goalkeeper.
The Danish side host the second leg on Wednesday, 16 November.
Facing an organised Brondby outfit who have reached the semi-finals on three occasions, City struggled to create chances in the first half but right-back Lucy Bronze did force a good low save from visiting keeper Katrine Abel.
The hosts could have gone behind, but England stopper Karen Bardsley was alert to produce a low, one-handed save to deny Nanna Christiansen.
After half-time the energetic Ross raced clear and calmly rounded Abel, but, with the goal gaping, defender Simone Sorensen had time to recover and intercept the danger.
As City began to dominate, England Under-19 international Walsh produced the game's finest moment, finding the far corner with a crisp effort from outside the area which capped another excellent individual performance in the holding role.
City, who won a domestic double in 2016 by adding the Continental Cup to their maiden league title, have now kept 20 clean sheets in 26 matches in all competitions this year.
Brondby pushed for an away goal late on but Bardsley tipped away Veje Katrine's curling effort in the closing stages - a save which could prove crucial.
City manager Nick Cushing was full of praise for young star Walsh after the game, hailing her as one of the best midfielders in the FA Women's Super League.
"I'm glad she scored because I think her performances have been up there with the best, if not the best, players in the league," he told BBC Sport.
"She's been one of our key performers consistently.
"Her main attribute is her game intelligence. She's bright, she understands the game and technically her passing range is really good.
"We haven't even seen the best of her yet, she's got real potential."

The cascade - or weeping window - section will be shown at St George's Hall in Liverpool and Woodhorn Museum, Northumberland.
Yorkshire Sculpture Park will host the arch segment, also known as the wave.
The installation, which marked 100 years since the start of World War One, drew more than five million visitors.
Culture Secretary John Whittingdale said: "This is art at its most powerful and it is only right that everyone should have the chance to see them."
The installation included 888,246 ceramic poppies, with each representing each death in the British and Colonial forces between 1914 and 1918.
It was created by Derbyshire artist Paul Cummins and theatre designer Tom Piper, and was named Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red after a line written by a soldier who died in Belgium.
A total of £9m was raised for six military service charities after most of the poppies, which were handmade in Derby, were sold to members of the public for £25 each.
Wave and the Weeping Window, which together have more than 10,000 ceramic poppies, were bought for the nation last year by the charities Backstage Trust and the Clore Duffield Foundation.
Other locations can bid next year to host the ceramic poppies in 2017 and 2018, before they are permanently homed at the Imperial War Museums in London and Manchester.

An all-party group has called on the UK government to consider devolving some immigration control.
That could involve Wales being able to set its own visas and migration quotas. And the group chairman said immigrants should have to learn English or Welsh.
The UK government said different rules for different areas would cause difficulties for employers.
Currently, there is no separate Welsh immigration policy.
A number of recommendations have made by the All Party Parliamentary Group on Social Integration (APPGSI) report on how the UK's immigration system could promote better integration.
It said speaking English was "the key to full participation in our society and economy".
Group chairman Chuka Umunna MP said he wanted Wales to have a bigger say in developing immigration policies.
"This is a really hot topic, it's become very toxic, very polarised and we want to build a consensus on what a new system could look like," he told BBC Radio Wales' Good Morning Wales programme.
When asked if immigrants could learn Welsh if living and working in Wales as an alternative to English, he said: "Absolutely. Why not?", adding that people could not fully integrate in society if they could not speak the language.
David Davies, Conservative MP for Monmouth, called it a "ludicrous idea".
"People will just go to whichever nation... is offering the easiest visas and move to where they want to move to," he told BBC Wales.
"Once they've got a visa to go to Wales there will be nothing to stop them going to England or vice versa."
The MPs' report claims the UK's existing points-based immigration system is "generally unresponsive to demographic, economic and cultural differences between our constituent nations and regions".
"Shaping immigration criteria to address nation or region-specific economic and cultural needs might instil confidence among members of the public that the immigration system works for their area", the study said.
It added: "Enabling nations and regions to set regional immigration quotas would create new incentives for politicians to actively make the case for immigration in their area."
Devolution could involve the introduction of region-specific visas, with quotas for how many are issued.
Canada is given as an example, where all 10 provincial governments are allowed to set region-specific requirements for immigrants.
Immigrants are required to live in the region that approves their visa until they become eligible to apply for Canadian citizenship.
The province of Quebec is also able to set its own criteria for its visas and evaluate applications.
A small element of regional policy on immigration already exists in the UK, where Scotland has a list of occupations in addition to a UK-wide version where employers can advertise outside of the EU without first advertising domestically.
The UK government, the report said, should appoint an independent commission to explore how a devolved or regionally-led immigration system might work.
Questions for the commission could include extending existing powers for Scotland to Wales, Northern Ireland, London and the English metro regions, and whether the UK government might copy the Quebec model.
A Welsh Government spokesman said: "It is important that the needs of Wales are reflected in future migration policies and that people who settle here are supported to integrate into communities."
Plaid Cymru external affairs spokesman Steffan Lewis said: "Plaid Cymru has long advocated a Welsh visa system to boost our public services such as the NHS and support the private sector in attracting high-skilled workers from around the world.
"It is also of great regret that Westminster policies have damaged our reputation as a destination for international students.
"Student visas should be devolved and would benefit our universities and our economy."
A UK government spokeswoman said: "Applying different immigration rules to different parts of the United Kingdom will complicate the immigration system, harming its integrity and causing difficulties for employers who need the flexibility to deploy their staff to other parts of the UK."
She said the UK government was rolling out a £20m fund for English language provision and had made £140m available to councils to manage impacts on communities "caused by issues such as poor English language skills".
The spokeswoman added: "We must also recognise that uncontrolled, mass immigration makes it difficult to maintain social cohesion and puts pressure on public services.
"Our priority is to build an immigration system that works for everyone in the UK and delivers the control we need." | Immigration rules tailored to the needs of Wales could build public confidence in the system, a group of MPs has said. | 38507803 | [

The list is a countdown of the year's most popular songs voted for by listeners of the alternative music station.
Triple J said there were "a whole range of reasons" behind the decision.
The main one is a social media campaign, originally instigated by Buzzfeed Australia's Mark Di Stefano, to get Shake It Off on the list.
Readers were encouraged to tweet #Tay4Hottest100 to get the song to appear on the countdown, which was thought to be too much of an influence.
Some thought Swift's track was too commercial for the alternative music station, while others said banning the song would be seen as elitism.
The list was topped by Chet Faker's Talk Is Cheap, with Peking Duk's High and Cosby Sweater by Hilltop Hoods completing the top three.
Mark Ronson's Uptown Funk finished sixth on the poll, while alt-J have three songs in the top 30.
Triple J pointed out that Taylor Swift wasn't played at all on the station in 2014 but would have finished ahead of all alt-J's tracks if it wasn't disqualified.
Vance Joy's Riptide won the 2013 poll, which saw a more commercial top three include Lorde's Royals and Get Lucky by Daft Punk.
Triple J presenter Lewis McKirdy, who made the announcement that Taylor Swift's track wouldn't be allowed in the list, directed listeners to a Buzzfeed parody titled 8 Hilarious But Totally True Reasons You Didn't Hear Shake It Off In The Hottest 100, for more information about the decision.

A formal complaint has been made to the European Commission by a group of Italian consumers' organisations.
They accuse McDonald's of forcing franchisees to pay excessive rents and high fees.
McDonald's said it shared risks and rewards with its licencees.
In a statement, McDonald's said: "We are proud of our franchisees and are committed to working closely together so that they have the support they need to operate their restaurants and their businesses.
"This approach, with the principle of sharing risk and reward, has been successful for many years and has helped create the best business opportunities for our franchisees and the best overall experience for our customers."
The Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and European unions, including the Bakers Food and Allied Workers Union in the UK, are supporting the formal antitrust complaint.
"McDonald's abuse of its dominant market position hurts everyone: franchisees, consumers, and workers. We strongly urge the European Commission to investigate the charges and to use all of its powers to hold McDonald's accountable," said SEIU organising director, Scott Courtney.
The European Commission said it would now study the submission. It has the powers to launch an investigation if it believes the allegations are founded.
The consumer organisations claim franchisees are prevented from switching to competitors because McDonald's makes them sign longer-than-average contracts.
They also said licensees lease premises from the company at above market rates.
It is claimed this leads to poorer consumer choice and higher prices in franchise stores as opposed to those owned directly by the company.
Franchisees own and operate 73% of McDonald's restaurants in Europe.
McDonald's received $9.27bn (£6.40bn) in revenues from its franchised restaurants worldwide in 2014. | McDonald's has been accused of abusing its market power by imposing unfair and restrictive contracts on people operating its franchise restaurants in Europe. | 35289959 | [

Craig Bryson gave the Rams an early lead when he struck from the edge of the area, before Thomas Ince curled in a stunning effort to double the lead.
Shortly after Bryson hit the crossbar, Darren Bent added a third when he headed home from close range.
Ipswich struggled for clear-cut chances, while Derby missed several.
Ince, whose earlier effort came after he drifted in from the right to score his 11th goal of the season, could only hit the post from a low cross by Bent in the second half.
Ipswich keeper Bartosz Bialkowski also made smart saves from both Bent and Jacob Butterfield.
The hosts had a late penalty appeal when Grant Ward went down in the area, shortly before Kieffer Moore's shot was deflected wide on his home debut.
The result leaves the hosts with just one win from their last seven games, a run which included being knocked out of the FA Cup by non-league Lincoln City.
There was further bad news for McCarthy's men, with influential forward Tom Lawrence replaced at half-time because of injury.
Ipswich manager Mick McCarthy: "It looked like an ordinary start from both teams, but the first goal was far too easy for me, as was the second.
"We'd had a bit of a rally just before the third goal, when we should have scored from a corner kick, but then we give the ball away and it ends up in the net.
"It's quite clearly a foul in the build-up, which is not irrelevant because at 2-0 we could maybe get back in it, but 3-0 has put the game to bed."
Derby manager Steve McClaren: "We should have scored more goals, but you can't have everything. I thought we were great in the first half - we've been so disappointed with our starts over recent games.
"There were some tremendous performances and to come here and win 3-0 means the credit has to go to the players.
"The most important thing in the second half was not to be complacent, keep a clean sheet and take home the three points."

A BfV spokesman did not confirm a report in Die Welt newspaper that the man was suspected of planning a bomb attack on the BfV's Cologne office, Reuters news agency said.
"There is no evidence to date that there is a concrete danger," he added.
The man is reported to be of Spanish origin and a convert to Islam.
The BfV said the suspect, who now has German citizenship, had previously "behaved inconspicuously".
"The man is accused of making Islamist statements on the Internet using a false name and of revealing internal agency material in Internet chatrooms," the spokesman added.
Die Welt also reported that the man was caught by an agency informant, with the pair having online conversations about a possible attack.
BfV did not confirm which part of the intelligence agency the accused worked in, though German news magazine Der Spiegel said the man was recently hired to observe the Islamist situation in Germany.
It also reported that the man's family had no knowledge of his conversion, which the publication said took place in 2014.
The BfV - the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution - is Germany's domestic intelligence agency. Its counterpart, the Federal Intelligence Service (BND), deals with foreign intelligence.
There are an estimated 40,000 Islamists in Germany, including 9,200 ultra-conservative Islamists known as Salafists, the head of the BfV told Reuters news agency earlier in November. | An employee of the German intelligence agency (BfV) has been arrested after making Islamist statements and sharing agency material, German media report. | 38152316 | [

The unnamed man was one of 16 people arrested in raids on Sunday. The rest have been released without charge.
Belgian PM Charles Michel said he would maintain the highest security threat level in Brussels, warning of an imminent threat.
But authorities plan to reopen schools and the metro on Wednesday.
The co-ordinated assaults in Paris on 13 November - claimed by so-called Islamic State (IS) - left 130 people dead.
A statement from the federal prosecutor's office said the man had been charged with "participating in activities of a terrorist group and with [a] terrorist attack".
Of a further five people arrested on Monday morning, two have been released, while "further enquiries" are under way regarding the others, the prosecutor said.
Mohammed Amri, 27, and Hamza Attou, 20, have already been charged with aiding Paris attacks suspect Salah Abdeslam, who remains at large. A third, unnamed suspect has also been charged.
In a separate development, French police said an object that appeared to be an explosives belt was found in a bin in the Paris suburb of Montrouge on Monday. The item is being examined.
Mobile phone data suggest that Salah Abdeslam - whose brother died in the attacks - was in that area late on the night of the attack.
Today I walked through the Royal Gallery of St Hubert, the iconic, beautifully ornate shopping arcade in the heart of Brussels. I counted on one hand the number of shoppers.
Only one of the famous chocolatiers has opened, with armed soldiers guarding outside, and it has barely any customers.
Two Danish tourists select some delicate, pastel macarons, looking over their shoulders as I enter.
"We can admit we're scared," Delilah tells me, "We were told by the hotel manager not to come here, but we thought we'd take a chance. Buy presents for the family and leave quickly."
Eva, behind the counter, says her boss told her she could have the day off if she was afraid, but decided to come in.
"I feel I'd be letting myself down if I didn't come in today, even if no-one comes in to be served," she says.
Universities, schools, large stores, shopping centres and the metro system were closed in Brussels on Monday as the highest security alert remained in place for a third day.
Armed police patrolled the normally bustling streets of the capital.
Announcing that the state of alert would remain at level four for another week, Mr Michel stressed "we must all progressively get back to a normal life".
The rest of Belgium remains on alert level three, meaning an attack is seen as possible and credible.
France has stepped up security in schools, imposing a series of measures including compulsory safety drills and banning parking outside school premises.
Also on Monday, France carried out its first strikes against IS from its Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier, newly deployed in the eastern Mediterranean.
French jets bombed IS targets in Iraq and Syria, including Raqqa, IS's key Syrian stronghold, the defence ministry said.

Special report: In-depth coverage of the attacks and their aftermath
President Francois Hollande has vowed to intensify strikes against IS in Syria and Iraq in the wake of the attacks.
On Monday morning Mr Hollande and UK Prime Minister David Cameron paid their respects to the victims at a makeshift memorial in front of the Bataclan theatre venue.
Speaking after talks at the Elysee Palace, Mr Cameron said it was his "firm conviction" that the UK should join air strikes in Syria - but that the decision would be up to MPs. | Belgian police have charged a fourth suspect with terrorism offences related to the deadly attacks on Paris, the federal prosecutor has said. | 34906116 | [

Since 2014, the government has said key nursery workers must have at least a grade C in GCSE English and maths.
But campaign group Save our Early Years said there was now evidence that this requirement was blocking staff career paths and deterring new starters.
The Department for Education said it was working with the profession on a future staffing strategy.
Figures from qualifications body Ofqual show about 12,500 students completed the Level 3 Early Years Educator course between July and September 2015, compared with 18,000 in the same period in the previous year - a fall of about 30%.
The course, which takes between one and two years to obtain, enables students to obtain their first jobs in nurseries and work with children aged under five.
But industry leaders warn the drop in the number of those completing it is evidence of an impending recruitment crisis, which is already damaging the quality of childcare on offer to parents.
It also puts in jeopardy government plans to introduce 30 hours of free childcare to all three and four-year-olds from 2017, they say.
Under current rules, staff are only allowed to look after a specified number of children:
The government requires that there must always be at least one member of staff qualified to Level 3 on duty, which means these staff are essential to all nurseries.
Julie Hyde, executive director at the childcare qualifications awarding body Cache, said if the government did not reverse its decision, there would be "no nursery staff and therefore parents would have no childcare".
Liz Bayram, chief executive of the charity Professional Association for Childcare and Early Years, said nursery chains were able to move staff around to cover gaps, but sole nurseries would be hardest hit by the crisis, she added.
In the association's survey of 75 Further Education college leaders, almost three quarters (72%) reported that enrolments on Level 3 courses had decreased in the latest academic year (2015-16), compared with the previous year.
A separate survey of 278 private nursery owners and managers across England suggested the main reasons for nursery staff leaving their jobs were low pay and a lack of progression due mainly to the GCSE requirements.
Purnima Tanuku, chief executive of the National Day Nurseries Association, which conducted the poll, said: "The serious staffing problems caused largely by these GCSE requirements can make these businesses unsustainable and force them to turn away children."
June O'Sullivan provides care for 4,500 children at 38 nurseries across London.
As chief executive of London Early Years Foundation, she is currently grappling with her business's recruitment and retention policy to try to fill 90 vacancies (of her 650 staff) for Level 3 nursery workers.
She fears that unless the government changes the requirements, the industry will end up with more unqualified staff and nurseries will see a high turnover of staff.
"People just don't understand the importance of the harmonious relationship you have to build with the children, their parents and the staff," she says.
If parents can't be sure their children are in safe hands, in a place where they are loved, hugged and taught, this may affect their confidence in going out to work every day, she adds.
Ultimately, there may be fewer nurseries, especially in London, if funds are eaten up paying agency costs. "Nurseries are not great profit makers. There is very little margin," she says.
Former childcare minister Liz Truss introduced the GCSE requirement in 2014 in an effort to raise the quality of care.
But campaigners want the new childcare minister, Caroline Dinenage, to accept equivalent or similar qualifications, such as Functional Skills, which also tests numeracy and literacy.
Neil Leitch, chief executive of the Pre-school Learning Alliance, said: "It seems completely counterproductive to persist with a policy that is actively blocking qualified, passionate and able early years practitioners from entering the sector.
"To say that the GCSE requirement is causing a recruitment crisis is not an exaggeration," he added.
Writing in Nursery World earlier this month, Caroline Dinenage hinted at a possible shift in government thinking, saying: "Our Workforce Strategy is in development and I am looking at ways of getting the best individuals into the profession, while recognising that excellence can be measured by qualities other than exam results."
A Department for Education spokeswoman said: "We want to make sure we get the best staff into the early years sector.
"We are working with the profession to look at how we can develop people's talents and keep our most experienced staff. This is backed up by record investment in childcare - £6bn per year by the end of this parliament." | Nurseries in England are struggling to recruit qualified staff putting them at risk of closure, campaigners have said. | 37484477 | [

The African nation took a first-minute lead, but Grealish quickly levelled.
Skipper James Ward-Prowse's penalty put England ahead, before Nathan Redmond's screamer and another from Grealish gave them a 4-1 half-time lead.
Cauley Woodrow's shot was deflected in by a Guinea defender, with the Fulham forward adding two more in an easy win.
Gareth Southgate's men opened the tournament with a 1-0 win over Portugal on Thursday, Chelsea midfielder Lewis Baker scoring the winner.
Next they meet Paraguay on Wednesday, rounding off their group campaign against Japan on Friday.
"We spoke before the game about any team being capable of scoring against you," Southgate said. "We started in a sloppy manner, so that was disappointing.
"Our response was good, we showed composure to work our way back into the game. The goal difference might end up being important.
"But if we start games like that against better opposition, it will be a struggle to get back into it."
England: Gunn, Stephens, Holding, Hause (Chambers 54), Targett, Ward-Prowse (Chalobah 41), Swift, Grimes, Grealish (Watmore 60), Redmond (Palmer 54), Woodrow. Subs not used: Pickford, Iorfa, Loftus-Cheek, Baker, Chilwell. | Jack Grealish scored twice on his full debut as England Under-21s continued their perfect start to the Toulon Tournament by thrashing Guinea. | 36364944 | [

The DSCPA say two individuals attempted to ship the puppies from Dublin Port to Holyhead Port in North Wales.
The dogs were held in "hugely inappropriate" conditions, cramped into small containers with "little or no space, no food or water".
The raid was part of Operation Delphin, a collaboration between animal welfare organisations and other agencies.
The puppies are thought to be about six or seven weeks old and the breeds included beagles, basset hounds, labradoodles and pomeranians.
They have now been returned to Dublin and under DSPCA care. A number of them are ill and are undergoing veterinary care at a shelter in Rathfarnham.
The operation was part of an intelligence-led raid and involved the border force intercepting two vehicles on different ferry crossings.
Ian Briggs, of the RSPCA's special operations unit, said: "These poor puppies were being carted into Wales in deeply inappropriate conditions in the early hours of the morning.
"Sadly, to unscrupulous dealers, these young pups are nothing more than a cash bonanza - and dealers would have been targeting tens of thousands of pounds from these shipments.
"This is another shocking example of people being readily prepared to act illegally and compromise the welfare of defenceless animals to make a quick buck - but, fortunately, they were stopped in their tracks."
Brian Gilles, CEO of the DSPCA, added, "We are delighted with the outcome of this operation.
"We in the DSPCA believe that cooperating with agencies on both sides of the Irish Sea in sharing intelligence, resources and cooperating together will ultimately prevail against those who are involved in this disgusting, greedy trade." | Almost 100 puppies have been seized as part of an operation into the illegal puppy trade from Ireland to the UK. | 38015748 | [

The ad - part of a government-funded anti violence campaign - holds a special significance at the time when many worry that an overflow of Mexico's drug violence could soon hit this small Central American nation.
The first one to raise the alert was President Mauricio Funes himself, last April.
"We have information that they [the cartels] have entered El Salvador with exploratory purposes," President Funes said.
Because of what he described as the "effectiveness" of Mexican President Felipe Calderon's policies, the cartels were looking at new bases for their operations, he added.
Since then, security forces have been watching closely to see if criminal organisations like the Zetas - one of Mexico's most violent cartels - are deploying in Salvadorean territory.
The cartels' possible collusion - or confrontation - with local gangs is also being monitored.
Douglas Garcia Funes from the Salvadorean national police says intelligence suggests that gang members are already "being used by or are operatives for the transport of drugs and money towards the United States, passing through Mexico".
In a country with one of the highest murder rates in the world, this is a sobering scenario.
It could bring more chaos to an already violent country, many Salvadoreans say - and the government seems to be bracing for the worst.
"We are certainly worried, and that is why we want to act in a preventive manner," Hugo Martinez, El Salvador's foreign minister, told BBC News.

The presence of the gangs known as "maras", born among Salvadorean migrants in Los Angeles in the 1980s, is believed to be the largest contributor to those soaring rates.
Some estimates say that about 15,000 young men and women belong to one of the gangs. In some families, a third generation of gang members is now developing.
The maras have strong territorial control in some areas of the country and practice what they call "social cleansing" - they wipe out petty crime, but ask for money from locals in exchange for protection, and engage in widespread criminal activity.
A retired gang member, who prefers not to be named, says that belonging to a "mara" gives young, poor Salvadoreans a sense of vindication against the larger society.
"People are scared, are afraid of what a gang member can do, like stealing or killing," he says.
"That is what being part of a 'mara' is about."
The maras are not new to El Salvador, but an incident in June marked a turning point.
Gang members set fire to a small bus in the capital, killing 17 people. The government branded it a "terrorist act".
Soon afterwards, the government proposed a tough "anti-mara" bill that makes it a criminal offence to belong to a gang or contribute to gang finances by paying extortion fees.
In addition, more than 6,000 soldiers - almost half of the army's manpower - have been deployed in hotspots around the country including border crossings, jails and areas with a strong "mara" presence.
This tougher stance was seen by many as preparation for the threat of Mexican cartels moving in to El Salvador.
The person who knows most about violence in El Salvador may well be Israel Ticas, a forensic investigator from the security ministry.
He is the sole official in charge of the exhumation of bodies buried in clandestine graveyards by the gangs.
He has already unearthed more than 38 of these graves around the country - and he believes there are dozens more still to be found.
The walls of his office in the capital are covered with pictures of the bodies, many of them too hard to digest for a casual observer.
They show men and women tortured, beheaded, mutilated; the violence seems to reach unimaginable levels.
And, says Mr Ticas, the cruelty is only getting worse.
"In the last few years, the gangs have become more sophisticated" in the way they bury their victims, he says.
"They hide [the bodies] better and it is harder for us to find them - now they leave a beheaded body in one site and the head is buried five kilometres [three miles] away."
It is hard to imagine how violence in El Salvador could go any further - and that is why many fear that the arrival of foreign organised criminal groups would be a nightmare come true. | From a giant billboard in the Salvadorean capital, a man with a defiant attitude shows off a slogan on his shirt: "No one can intimidate El Salvador," it reads. | 12023116 | [

Kensington and Chelsea Council won an earlier case against Sophie Sotello in the magistrates' court after she refused to comply with the order.
When she appealed against the decision, the council dropped its case.
It said that it was now satisfied with evidence showing that her son, 11-year-old Gabriel Sotello, was receiving a suitable education.
Gabriel Sotello is one of more than 21,000 children on local council records as being home schooled.
According to the home education group Ed Yourself numbers have grown rapidly - by 17% between July 2013 and July 2014.
Many of these pupils, like Gabriel, have never been to school. Others have been taken out because their parents felt they were being bullied, neglected or were not reaching their potential.
Home schooled children do not have to follow the national curriculum or take part in public exams such as GCSEs or A-levels.
Mrs Sotello says her role is not to teach Gabriel, but to point him in the right direction.
"I wouldn't dream of saying I teach him," she says. "I facilitate, I find the books, I research with them, I give them the power if you like. It is child centred, finding out what makes them tick."
Gabriel initiates much of his own learning and says he is inspired by the freedom to focus on what most interests him.
"Freedom is what makes learning still fun," he says. "In home education you can learn at your own pace and you do learn much quicker."
Parents give various reasons for shunning school, and taking direct responsibility for educating their children.
Jackie Fahy, who organises a weekly meeting in a London park for like-minded parents, says some doubt the worth of the regimented school curriculum.
"A lot of children come out of school not prepared. The workplace is changing so rapidly that actually the school system is huge and vast and slow to change. I'm not sure that children will be prepared for having several careers in a lifetime."
Elizabeth Lil - who opted to educate her son and daughter herself - says that as a former teacher she felt that barely a tenth of her time in school was actually benefiting children.
"I was a science teacher, I did maths. I've so far used trigonometry once in my adult life. What you learn at school is not necessarily the skills you need for your adult life."
These parents complain that councils are exceeding their powers by carrying out routine inspections of the quality of their children's education.
They insist that councils should intervene only if they have evidence that something is wrong.
But grey areas persist over exactly what councils can or should do.
Government guidance is clear that local authorities have no statutory duty to investigate the education children are receiving at home on a routine basis.
It says that parents are not legally obliged to cooperate with requests from councils for information.
The guidance tells councils not to confuse home education with truancy.
But it acknowledges that if councils are concerned then they might impose the sort of school attendance order sent to the Sotellos.
In a statement, Kensington and Chelsea Council acknowledged the right of parents to educate their children at home.
But it said "when this happens we believe that we have a duty of care to establish that the child is receiving a suitable education". | A London council has withdrawn an order forcing a mother to send her home educated child to school. | 33551138 | [

Philip Craig, 38, killed Christopher Laskaris, 24, at his flat in the Hyde Park area of Leeds in November.
Craig, from Leeds, then went back to the flat in St John's Close, where his victim's body remained, to take more possessions.
He was jailed for life with a minimum of 25 years at Leeds Crown Court.
Craig pleaded guilty to burglary at a previous hearing for which he was sentenced to three years, to be served concurrently.
More stories from across Yorkshire
The court heard Mr Laskaris, who had Asperger's Syndrome and suffered from bi-polar disorder, died from a single stab wound to the heart on 4 November.
His body was not discovered until 17 November, by which time Craig had gone back to the flat to steal items including a TV, games console and a number of guitars.
Jailing Craig, Mr Justice Goss said: "It is clear from the evidence that his difficulties made him vulnerable and he lacked insight in to his vulnerability.
"You preyed on this and saw him as someone you could use to your advantage by supplying him with drugs.
"When you left his flat he was dead or dying.
"You subsequently returned and moved his body, by which time you must have known he was dead, turned his trouser pockets out and helped yourself to such of his property that you considered of value and which you sold.
"His difficulties in life were not of his making; he needed help and support, not exploitation and abuse."
In a statement, Mr Laskaris' family said his death had had a "devastating impact".
"We are relieved that justice has been done, but nothing can ever heal our pain and loss, which we will have to live with for the rest of our lives," the family said.
"A bright young man has been robbed of his future, and this has had a devastating impact on his friends and family."
The case against a second man - Dempsey Pattison, 22, from Leeds, - who was also charged with murdering Mr Laskaris was discharged in February. | A drug dealer who stabbed a man to death in his own home and then returned days later to burgle the property has been convicted of murder. | 39951845 | [

Lance Naik (Corporal) Hanamanthappa Koppad was tapped under 8m of snow at a height of nearly 6,000m along with nine other soldiers who all died. Their bodies have now been recovered.
The critically ill soldier has been airlifted to a hospital in Delhi.
"We hope the miracle continues. Pray with us," an army statement said.
The army added that "he has been placed on a ventilator to protect his airway and lungs in view of his comatose state".
"He is expected to have a stormy course in the next 24 to 48 hours due to the complications caused by re-warming and establishment of blood flow to the cold parts of the body," the army said.
The avalanche hit a military post on the northern side of the glacier.
Senior military officials said at the time there was little chance of finding any of the soldiers alive after the incident last Wednesday.
Siachen is patrolled by troops from both India and Pakistan, who dispute the region's sovereignty.
It is known as the world's highest battlefield. Four Indian soldiers were killed by an avalanche in the same area last month.
The soldiers were on duty at an army post on the glacier at an altitude of 5,900m (19,350ft) when the avalanche struck.
Specialist army and air force teams immediately began searching for the missing soldiers close to the Line of Control that divides Indian and Pakistani-administered Kashmir.
The chances of any soldiers being found alive were so slim that Prime Minister Narendra Modi even offered condolences in a message on Twitter last week.
Avalanches and landslides are commonplace in the area during winter where temperatures can drop to -60C.
More soldiers have died from harsh weather on the glacier than in combat since India seized control of it in 1984. Soldiers have been deployed at heights of up to 6,700m (22,000ft) above sea level.
The neighbours have failed to demilitarise the Siachen glacier despite several rounds of peace talks. | An Indian soldier who was buried in an avalanche that struck the Siachen glacier in Indian-administered Kashmir six days ago has been found alive. | 35528653 | [

The units in North Tyneside and Northumberland have been shut between midnight and 08:00 since December.
Overnight emergencies have been diverted to the recently-opened Northumbria Hospital in Cramlington.
The closures at North Tyneside, Hexham and Wansbeck hospitals, will continue for a further three months.
The Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust said the impact on patients had been minimal as the units were underused at night.
Staff from the units have been moved to the Northumbria Specialist Emergency Care Hospital, in Cramlington, which opened in 2015, to deal with a "very high demand" in day-time admissions.
A spokesman said it would be "inappropriate" to deploy staff back to the urgent care centres overnight at the current time.
He added: "This is to ensure best use of precious staffing resources to deliver patient care where it is needed most."
The trust said since opening the Northumbria hospital in June 2015, activity overnight at the urgent care centres had been "minimal" with, on average, less than 10 overnight attendances a day across all three centres.
The spokesman added: "We'd like to assure residents that this decision to temporarily extend the current arrangements at our urgent care centres has not been taken lightly.
"It was entirely correct for us to put in place the interim changes in the wake of services being extremely busy across the NHS. They have helped us successfully meet the high demand we continue to see, even now during the summer.
"As a result, it would simply not be the best use of our staff's time and expertise to deploy them back now." | Three emergency care units are to remain closed to overnight patients in an effort to keep "precious staffing resources" focused on daytime care. | 40366573 | [
