A day after breaking the all-time record for pole positions, Hamilton was in total control at Monza, leading team-mate Valtteri Bottas to a one-two.
Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel was third and is three points behind Hamilton.
It is a crucial milestone for Hamilton as F1 next heads to Singapore, where Ferrari are expected to dominate.
The victory was Hamilton's sixth of the season - Vettel has only four - and it capped a perfect weekend for him.
He scored a brilliant pole in treacherous wet conditions on Saturday - more than a second clear of the next fastest driver - to take his tally to 69, one more than Ferrari legend Michael Schumacher.
Hamilton's victory was among the most straightforward of the season. He fought off a brief challenge from Williams driver Lance Stroll, a remarkable second on the grid, on the run down to the first corner and disappeared into a race of his own.
"The team did an amazing job. Valtteri did a great job. Mercedes power is better than Ferrari power so that's one thing," Hamilton said, as he was booed by the Tifosi during the podium interviews.
The fight was all behind him, as Bottas and the Ferrari drivers set about fighting up from their unusually low grid positions.
The Finn, who started sixth, was up to fourth on the first lap behind Hamilton, Force India's Esteban Ocon, another star of qualifying, and Stroll, who dropped a place in a tussle at the first corner.
Bottas got Stroll into Turn One on lap three, Ocon in the same place a lap later, to give Mercedes total control of the race, which they never surrendered.
Vettel limited the damage to his title hopes as much as was possible in the circumstances, passing team-mate Kimi Raikkonen around the outside into the first Lesmo on lap three, Stroll a couple of laps later before picking off Ocon into Turn One on lap eight.
The German, though, was no match for the Mercedes at Ferrari's home race - generally dropping at least half a second a lap - and his focus in the second part of the race became holding off Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo.
The Australian, who qualified third but started 16th after being given a grid penalty for using too many engine parts this season, put in a brilliant recovery from his lowly grid position.
He picked his way through the slower cars in the first part of the race, pulling off a series of his trademark aggressive overtaking moves, and ran a long first stint to give himself fresher tyres for the final stint than the Ferraris ahead of him.
Ricciardo dived brilliantly inside Raikkonen from a long way back at the first chicane with 12 laps to go and began to set off after Vettel, who was just over 11 seconds ahead.
Initially, he began to close at a second a lap, but as the edge went from his tyres, his advantage reduced and Vettel crossed the line four seconds ahead.
Vettel later told his team over the radio that he had gone off track at one point and felt "something was wrong" afterwards, explaining part of his lack of pace.
"My start was not so good - I had quite a lot of wheel spin and we didn't quite have the pace of the leading two cars but seeing the people and having that support was amazing," Vettel said afterwards.
"We have a very strong car and will have a very strong end of the season."
Ricciardo's team-mate Max Verstappen got up from 13th on the grid - also victim of a penalty after qualifying second in the wet - to be eighth on the first lap.
But he wrecked his race by tangling with Williams driver Felipe Massa on the second lap, damaging his front wing and getting a puncture and rejoined last.
Verstappen recovered to 10th place, incurring the anger of Haas' Kevin Magnussen, from whom he stole the final point, when he moved over on him while overtaking the Dane at the second chicane and forced him on to the grass.
Stroll and Ocon inevitably slipped back behind faster cars from their superb starting positions, earned with starring drives in the wet.
But both drove solid and strong races to finish sixth and seventh, the Canadian fending off team-mate Felipe Massa for seventh place on the last lap, as the pair also fended off the second Force India of Sergio Perez. | Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton took the outright championship lead for the first time this season with a dominant victory in the Italian Grand Prix. | 41141109 | [

The 17-time Grand Slam champion beat France's Gasquet 6-4 6-2 6-2 to give the Swiss an unassailable 3-1 lead.
"This one is for the boys," said Federer, who was in tears at the end of the match.
"This is not for me, I have won enough. I am just happy we can give everyone in our country a historic moment."
Federer, 33, also paid tribute to compatriot Stan Wawrinka, who helped set up the victory in Lille by beating Jo-Wilfried Tsonga before partnering Federer to win the doubles.
Federer and Wawrinka were involved in a row at the ATP Tour Finals in London, which the world number two later described as "heat of the moment".
"Stan has put in so much effort over the years. He played an unbelievable weekend and that is what gave me the opportunity today," said Federer.
Federer, who lost his singles rubber to Gael Monfils on Friday, played an inspired match as he crushed Gasquet, who replaced Tsonga due to an arm injury.
In front of a passionate crowd of 27,448 - a world record for a competitive tennis match - Federer dropped only four points on his imperious serve in the opening set, which he sealed with a whipping forehand winner.
World number 26 Gasquet dropped serve in the first and seventh games of the second set, which Federer took without conceding a single break point.
He broke the Frenchman twice in the final set to serve for the match and claimed victory with a deft backhand drop shot - collapsing in tears onto the clay at the Stade Pierre-Mauroyto.
The Swiss win comes a week after Federer pulled out of the Tour Finals title match against Novak Djokovic at the O2 in London to protect a back injury. | Roger Federer beat Richard Gasquet to seal Switzerland's first Davis Cup triumph, then dedicated the victory to his team-mates. | 30167687 | [

The TUC's annual gathering backed a motion which included calls to build "a broad solidarity alliance of unions and communities under threat".
TUC chief Brendan Barber warned that big cuts would make Britain a "dark, brutish and more frightening place".
The PM's spokesman said they wanted "partnership" with the unions to tackle the deficit.
The opening of the TUC's 142nd congress - the first under a non-Labour government since 1996 - comes amid concern among unions about the speed and scope of the coalition's programme to reduce the £155bn deficit.
Union voices: How to tackle cuts'Responsible' cuts battle urgedLabour can't be meek - HarmanSend us your views
Most Whitehall departments have been ordered to plan for savings of between 25% and 40% ahead of the comprehensive spending review of 20 October.
Delegates debated a motion calling for the TUC's general council to "support and co-ordinate campaigning and joint union industrial action, nationally and locally, in opposition to attacks on jobs, pensions, pay or public services".
It could lead to different unions calling strikes on the same days if the cuts are not scaled back, although BBC Political Editor Nick Robinson said trade union laws and union leaders' desire to build a wide coalition against the cuts made a "winter of discontent" unlikely.
The motion rejected the idea that cuts were necessary to pay for the deficit and said they were a "savage and opportunistic attack on public services" which "goes far further than even the dark days of Thatcher".
TUC general secretary Mr Barber told delegates: "These are not temporary cuts, but a permanent rollback of public services and the welfare state. Not so much an economic necessity as a political project driven by an ideological clamour for a minimal state.
"What they take apart now could take generations to rebuild. Decent public services are the glue that holds a civilised society together and we diminish them at our peril. Cut services, put jobs in peril and increase inequality, that's the way to make Britain a darker, brutish, more frightening place."
He said no-one took industrial action lightly, but added: "Where members, faced with attacks on jobs, pay or pensions take a democratic decision for industrial action, they will have the support of unions and the TUC stands ready to co-ordinate that."
BBC business reporter Simon Jack said no dates had been named for industrial action - but the motion meant unions were "standing ready" to do so if necessary, although there was no detail of what form it could take. He said the first co-ordinated action was not likely to take place until February or March 2011.
By Ben WrightPolitical correspondent, BBC News
Ministers have spent the summer softening the public up for cuts but, with big job losses looming, the unions haven't been persuaded.
Brendan Barber called the government's assertions "insulting claptrap".
Some trade union leaders, such as Bob Crow and Mark Serwotka, predict civil disobedience and coordinated strike action in response to cuts. But moderates like Mr Barber want to temper the tone and place the union movement at the centre of an alliance with the public, charities and community groups who oppose the cuts.
So talk of a new winter of discontent may be wide of the mark, not least because secondary picketing is now illegal. But also because union leaders like Barber will be very wary about embarking on strike action that hits the users of public services hard and risks turning their members into villains.
The government wants to sound moderate too, hence Francis Maude's insistence he wants to see engagement and "partnership" between the unions and ministers. But confrontation looks likely so long as there's a chasm between the Treasury and the unions on how to deal with the deficit.
What is the Trades Union Congress?
Only one delegate spoke against the motion, Jim McAuslan, general secretary of the airline pilots' union BALPA. He said it might be seen as an "open goal" for the government, and warned some union colleagues were "getting the tone wrong" in resisting every cut and they had to get the message out beyond unions to the wider community.
Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers' (RMT) leader Bob Crow has called for a campaign of "civil disobedience" but Mr Barber told the BBC he thought that was "counter-productive".
Instead he said he favoured "a broad-based campaign... to look to harness public opinion behind the case for a different approach to managing our economy."
He spoke against a purely critical campaign, asking unions to promote an "alternative to austerity that encourages growth and jobs".
Cabinet Office Minister Francis Maude told the BBC: "We will listen very carefully to what they [the unions] say and the arguments that they make, there's no question about that. We are not going back to the days where there's a complete stand-off between the trade unions and the government. Those days are gone."
But he said the coalition government had "inherited a terrible budget deficit" and was having to borrow £1 out of every £4 "just to keep the lights on".
He said it was "absolutely necessary" to eradicate the budget deficit - to stop interest rates going up and "choking off" the recovery.
He said the government wanted to protect front-line services and jobs and had spent months renegotiating with the government's suppliers to cut costs, to try to protect as many jobs as possible.
Downing Street also said the government wanted "a genuine partnership with the trade unions".
The PM's spokesman said. "We need to deal with the deficit, we want to work with everyone in tackling that."
For all the rhetoric of the union leaders, the BBC's Political Editor Nick Robinson said it would be up to individual members whether to take strike action in ballots over the coming months.
But he said there were growing indications of disquiet among council workers and police officers.
Dave Prentis, general secretary of the Unison public services union, is calling for united action to defeat the government's "austerity agenda".

The Spending Review: Making It Clear
Unite, the UK's biggest union, says it wants a "robust campaign" to protect public services, while the GMB argues that three-quarters of a million jobs could be at risk.
The RMT accuses ministers of launching "all-out class warfare".
The government is not sending a minister to address the congress but Business Secretary Vince Cable has said he will be willing to speak to representatives to discuss their concerns.
Acting Labour leader Harriet Harman addressed the TUC while the five candidates to become leader made their pitches to union delegates in the final hustings of the campaign.
Each stressed their solidarity with the trade unions in the face of the anticipated spending squeeze but David Miliband said critics of the cuts needed to win the political arguments while brother Ed Miliband called for a "responsible approach" to opposition.
The TUC congress is the curtain-raiser for the party conference season and will be followed over the next three weeks by events held by the Lib Dems, Labour and the Conservatives. | Union delegates have backed joint industrial action if "attacks" on jobs, pensions and public services go ahead. | 11278570 | [

After going down to 12 men, following Ben Flower's red card, Wigan scored 21 unanswered points to triumph.
The Warriors have lost the past two Super League deciders at Old Trafford.
"We will take a lot of confidence coming into the back end of the year when confidence is important going into big games," Smith said.
Victory when the Catalans Dragons visit the DW Stadium next week would guarantee Wigan a home semi-final, while their hopes of clinching the League Leaders' Shield are slim as Warrington travel to second-placed Hull FC.
Warrington only need a draw to win the first piece of Super League silverware this season.
"We are looking just to win the game next week. Whatever comes of it, being first or second, gets us a home semi and that is what we want," Smith told BBC Radio Manchester.
"We want to get to Old Trafford and want to win. We've had a disappointing couple of years, and it is all about progressing now and putting in a performance next week."
If Wigan do reach the final for a fourth successive season, they may be without Flower after his elbow on Declan Patton saw him sent off with 23 minutes remaining on Friday.
It was the prop's first dismissal since receiving an early red card in Wigan's Grand Final defeat by St Helens in 2014.
A man down and with the League Leaders' Shield being made ready for presentation to Wolves, the visitors produced a remarkable turnaround from 28-14 down in the second half.
Josh Charnley touched town twice and Lewis Tierney completed a brace of his own before Smith edged Wigan ahead with a drop goal. Anthony Gelling's late try put the result beyond doubt.
"As soon as we got the first try when Benny got sent off I think the belief was there to go on and do something special," Smith said.
"When you come to stadiums like this and get results like that, it gives you a massive lift." | Wigan have the confidence to go on and win the Super League Grand Final after overcoming leaders Warrington on Friday, says half-back Matty Smith. | 37396138 | [

Police have been searching the site in Milton, Cambridgeshire, for five weeks.
Despite a high-profile missing persons campaign, it is thought by police he ended up in a bin lorry.
Mr Mckeague's father Martin said it was "breathtaking" to see how much waste officers have combed through.
LIVE: Updates on this story and other Suffolk news
He has been to the site five times and is staying in a nearby campsite with his wife Trish.
"It's heartbreaking to think when you are there Corrie could be under foot," he said.
"Everything leads to Corrie being there and when I'm looking at and watching these guys rake through, I know the police wouldn't be here going through all these tonnes of rubbish if they didn't expect Corrie to be there."
Mr Mckeague, from Dunfermline in Fife, vanished while on a night out in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, on 24 September.
He was last seen on CCTV at about 03:25 BST.
A bin lorry collected refuse a short time later from the area the RAF Honington gunner was last seen.
Suffolk Police said officers were trawling through 60 tonnes a day at the site in Milton, near Cambridge.
The search is now in its fifth week and is expected to take up to 10. | The father of missing airman Corrie Mckeague, who is camping near a landfill site as police search for a body, said it is "heartbreaking" to think his son is buried there. | 39519005 | [

The number of corporate insolvencies fell year-on-year by 21%, to stand at 188, in the first three months of 2015.
The figure was 10% lower than the previous quarter.
The number of administrations, which typically affect larger organisations, remained virtually the same as a year ago, with 20 cases.
A quarter-on-quarter comparison showed a similar increase, with two more businesses going into administration in 2015 than the last three months in 2014.
Liquidations, which tend to affect smaller businesses, were down by 24% on a year ago, at 168.
KPMG said the figures suggested the small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) sector was in a healthier economic position as it entered the second quarter of 2015.
Blair Nimmo, head of restructuring for KPMG in Scotland, said: "It's clear as we enter the second quarter of 2015, in general, businesses are in a stronger position.
"Buoyed by an overarching recovery, economically we're seeing a positive trading environment for both large and smaller organisations in Scotland, which is reflected by the drop in insolvency appointments.
"That being said, volatility in oil prices as well as uncertainties around the outcome of the general election may have wider repercussions for the economy as businesses adopt a 'wait and see' approach to growth." | Fewer Scottish businesses have gone bust since the start of the year, according to new figures from professional services firm KPMG. | 32394889 | [

Mr Haldane, added that any rate rise would "increase unnecessarily the chances of the economy falling below critical velocity".
He is considered to be the most cautious policy-maker when it comes to raising interest rates.
Interest rates have been at 0.5% since 2009 and the financial crisis.
The first increase is now expected in late 2016. Forecasts were put back after the Bank of England's last inflation report in which the Bank said the outlook for global growth had weakened.
In a speech to trade union body the TUC, Mr Haldane also indicated that the next rate move could equally be a cut rather than a rise.
"Now more than ever in the UK, policy needs to be poised to move off either foot depending on which way the data break," he said in his speech.
Mr Haldane said that because wage growth could be weaker than currently expected, inflation may undershoot the Bank's November predictions, when it estimated that inflation would rise above its 2% target in two years.
The Consumer Price Index currently stands at 0.1%.
"Against that backdrop, my view is that the case for raising interest rates is still some way from being made," Mr Haldane said.
"Whatever the reason, the economic aircraft appears to be losing speed on the runway. That is an awkward, indeed risky, time to be contemplating take-off.
"Meanwhile, inflationary trends do not at present give me sufficient confidence that inflation will be back at target, even two years hence."
Mr Haldane also had strong words on the UK's increasingly expensive housing market.
"The UK housing market is broken," he told the TUC meeting.
"There is a chronic and accumulated imbalance between demand and supply, and it is that which is sending skyward - and has sent skyward - house prices." | The Bank of England's chief economist, Andy Haldane, has warned that the UK's "economic aircraft appears to be losing speed on the runway". | 34804332 | [

The cameras will go live on the northbound and southbound carriages of the M74 between Hamilton and the east of Glasgow from Monday.
They will remain operational until spring 2017. Similar measures will follow later on the M8, A8 and M73.
It is hoped they will help safeguard driver and worker safety.
The work will widen key parts of the motorways, upgrade a stretch of the A8 and improve the Raith Interchange.
Graeme Reid, project sponsor for Transport Scotland, said: "We know from our experience of major road infrastructure projects that safety cameras are a tried and tested approach that improves safety for both road users and the adjacent construction workforce during what will be an extremely busy period in terms of construction.
"Not only do the cameras create a safer environment for all concerned, they can also help improve the flow of traffic through the works."
The motorway improvements project began in February 2014 and is scheduled for completion in spring 2017.
The work will see upgrading of the M8 between Baillieston and Newhouse to motorway standard.
This will require upgrades to the connections to the M73 motorway at Baillieston and a new junction at Shawhead, which will connect to the A725 East Kilbride road.
There will also be new junctions at Eurocentral and Chapelhall.
Improvements to the Raith Interchange near Hamilton in Lanarkshire include realignment of the A725.
There will be an underpass for the A725 and bridges carrying the Raith roundabout.
The improvements are expected to cut journey times by up to 18 minutes for the busiest sections of the M8.
WWF Scotland director Lang Banks said serious consideration should be given to making the cameras permanent after the road works are completed.
He said: "We've already seen the very clear safety benefits that average speed cameras have had by helping to enforce speed limits on the A9. However, alongside other tools, average speed cameras are also a cost effective way to reduce climate emissions as well as fuel costs for motorists.
"To reduce health-threatening levels of air pollution and our meet our climate targets, the use of average speed cameras and other approaches to help reduce excessive speeds should be seriously considered on other major roads across Scotland." | Average speed cameras are due to be activated on one of Scotland's busiest motorways while work continues on a £500m upgrade project. | 33551742 | [

The 78-year-old ex-Scotland international says several of his old team-mates are affected.
He believes it is as the result of heading heavy footballs in the 1950s and '60s.
"People of our era, the balls we played with were big, heavy things," he told BBC Radio 5 live.
"To lift them up to take a throw-in you'd have to do special training, and the conditions we played in - snow, rain and mud - and we trained with these things as well, every day, heading practice as well.
"Whether this problem of dementia hastens the end of your life or not I don't know, I'm not a medical person - but what I am saying is these were my pals, these were the guys I played with and they have got these problems."
St John believes football as an industry should help ex-pros with care costs and said: "If someone needs special care as a result of their career and their career was football, then football should pay for that."
The Football Association said it was committed to supporting research into degenerative brain disease among former players.
St John's former Liverpool team-mate Geoff Strong, who won the FA Cup in 1965 alongside the Scot, died aged 75 from Alzheimer's in 2013 while last year it was revealed that three members of England's 1966 World Cup squad - Martin Peters, Nobby Stiles and Ray Wilson - have the condition.
Former West Brom striker Jeff Astle died in 2002, aged 59, from brain trauma caused by heading footballs throughout his career.
He was originally diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's disease, but a re-examination of his brain found he had died from chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) - a progressive degeneration caused by repeated head trauma.
St John praised the work that Astle's family have done through the Jeff Astle Foundation, which aims to raise awareness of brain injury in all forms of sport.
But he still believes the Professional Footballers' Association and other football authorities can do more to help former players and the families who are caring for them.
"The game is awash with money, absolutely, so you can't turn round and say it's a finance thing," said St John, who played 336 times for Liverpool, scoring 95 goals.
Last year, the FA said it wanted world governing body Fifa to investigate whether former players have dementia as a consequence of playing the game and added that it took concerns about concussion and head injuries "extremely seriously".
"In 2015 we established an expert panel which led to the publication of the FA concussion guidelines," it said.
"The expert panel further agreed that research is particularly required into the issue of whether degenerative brain disease is more common in ex-footballers.
"The FA is determined to support this research and we have recently agreed with the PFA to jointly fund and support this research as we believe that a collaborative approach will strengthen the credibility and resource available." | Former Liverpool striker Ian St John has called on football's leaders to look after former professionals who have dementia and Alzheimer's disease. | 38911979 | [

The Portuguese defender's quick-fire brace put the Bees in control at Brisbane Road before Curtis Weston sealed the points in added time after Paul McCallum had halved the deficit.
Santos, a recent signing from Peterborough, seized on a fumble by O's goalkeeper Alex Cisak to break the deadlock from close range in the 63rd minute and he doubled the advantage three minutes later following good work from Nana Kyei.
McCallum gave the O's a lifeline when he powerfully headed in a Callum Kennedy corner with 10 minutes remaining but Weston guaranteed the three points when he crashed the ball into an empty net after a lob from substitute Jamal Campbell-Ryce rebounded off the crossbar.
Although the teams went into the interval all-square, the visitors should have been well ahead having missed five clear chances, and leading scorer John Akinde was the main culprit for their profligacy.
His best chance came after just four minutes when he stabbed wide from close range with the goal at his mercy.
Fellow striker Simeon Akinola spurned two straight-forward chances set up by Akinde as the home side struggled to contain the Bees' attacking threat.
However, an incisive display after the break deservedly earned the visitors their sixth victory in eight matches.

The French visitors led 16-6 at half-time thanks to Francois van der Merwe's try and the kicking of Johan Goosen.
Fly-half Dan Biggar kept Ospreys in touch by kicking four penalties, but when Goosen dropped a goal it seemed to have clinched a Racing win.
However Justin Tipuric's late blistering break let centre Matavesi go under the posts and Biggar converted.
The draw means Ospreys are just three points behind Racing and Northampton, who won 38-15 in Treviso, with both the English and French clubs sitting on 10 points at the top of Pool 5.
But the Welsh region must realistically win the return game with Racing in Le Mans next week to keep their qualification hopes alive.
Racing took an early grip on the game and Goosen converted that pressure into two penalties for the visiting side, although Biggar replied with one for the home side.
Ospreys had international front rows Ryan Bevington, Duncan Jones and Nicky Smith all on a lengthy injury list and Racing had the home scrum creaking.
But the Welsh region did have Wales half-backs Biggar and Rhys Webb, plus forwards Scott Baldwin, Alun Wyn Jones and Justin Tipuric available after the autumn Tests.
Racing started with just one of the four Welsh players on their books, Mike Phillips lining up opposite Webb, the man who took his Wales scrum-half berth during November.
Lock Luke Charteris was on the bench while Jamie Roberts and Dan Lydiate - whose return to play in Wales is expected soon - were not included in the match-day squad.
Goosen was controlling things wonderfully from fly-half for Racing and along with his South African compatriot Van der Merwe they were having the biggest impact on the game.
The No.10 hit a half-gap in the Ospreys line, sucking in defenders and creating space on the right for Van der Merwe to score, with the huge lock carrying Dan Evans and Dmitri Arhip over the line with him for a converted try.
The struggling Ospreys were put under further pressure when James King was sin-binned for pulling down a maul, allowing Goosen to add a third penalty.
Ospreys' scoring chances were few and far between but Biggar made the most of a rare opportunity with his second penalty kick to trim Racing's lead to 16-6 at half-time.
But the fly-half's accuracy deserted him after the restart as he hit the post with what for the Wales star was a comfortable penalty kick after good work from the Ospreys scrum.
Another scoring chance went begging when Webb made a trademark break around the fringe and chipped ahead, only for Racing wing Adrien Planté to reach the ball just ahead of Eli Walker.
Ospreys kept Racing pinned in their 22 though, earning another penalty that Biggar this time converted.
That sparked Ospreys' best spell of the game but despite the home side's raised tempo, each attack was met by resolute Racing tackling.
A fourth Biggar penalty brought Ospreys back to 12-16, but Goosen then kicked a drop-goal with seven minutes remaining after failing with an ambitious earlier effort and hitting the post with a penalty.
However Ospreys hit back immediately as flanker Tipuric burst through on the left before finding Webb in support, who in turn fed centre Matavesi to go under the posts.
Biggar's conversion levelled the score, although the Ospreys had to survive two more nervous moments as Goosen skewed a penalty and was just short with a long drop-goal.

Glamorgan built their innings on a 122-run second-wicket stand between Will Bragg (75) and Jacques Rudolph (53).
After Graham Wagg's 49, the hosts were bowled out in the final over for 289.
Chasing 290 to win, the visitors were eventually restricted to 237 all out, despite Michael Klinger's 52 and some late stroke play from Benny Howell (77).
Bragg's aggressive 75 off 68 balls got the scoreboard moving well, while Rudolph's cautious 53 was his first half-century of the season.
Matt Taylor, Liam Norwell and Howell all bowled intelligently to restrict Glamorgan's acceleration in the latter stages.
But the target of 290 looked a long way off when Wagg claimed two early wickets and part-time spinner Colin Ingram took two cheap ones in the middle of the innings, including the vital one of Klinger.
Howell's hitting took the game into the closing overs to make it a fine personal performance, before becoming Timm van der Gugten's third wicket.
Glamorgan now face Sussex in Cardiff on Wednesday, while Gloucestershire host Middlesex on the same day, still looking for their first win.
The One-Day Cup holders lost their opening game by one wicket to Somerset on Sunday when the home side's last pair Jamie Overton and Tim Groenewald put on an unlikely 65 to win with three balls to spare.
Glamorgan captain Jacques Rudolph told BBC Wales Sport:
"We were quite clinical in the way we went about our business. William Bragg batted outstandingly but we were 15-20 runs short of where we could have been.
"I just wanted to spend some time in the middle. That's important when you're not performing as well as you'd like and I was fortunate to bat with Braggy who's in very good touch.
"Our bowlers were very good. Colin Ingram bowled exceptionally, as well as Timm van der Gugten.
At the moment we've got some good momentum in white-ball cricket. If that can continue for the rest of the week I'll be a happy captain."
Gloucestershire captain Michael Klinger told BBC Radio Bristol:
"Last year we won seven out of eight. There's no reason why we can't win five out of six now but we need to do the little things a bit better, particularly in the field.
"We got out-worked because they out-fielded us and bowled really well to their field.
"It's tough not having Jack Taylor to bowl. Either we need the guys we've got to bowl better or we need to change the line-up.
"It's disappointing. We need a collective effort and so far we haven't had that." | Glamorgan began their One-Day Cup campaign with a convincing 52-run win as holders Gloucestershire lost their second match in as many days. | 36460070 | [

The 6ft 4in player, who finished top scorer in last season's Europa League, has signed a four-year contract.
Kozak, 24, has represented his country four times and becomes Villa's seventh signing of the summer.
"He'll add greatly to what we've got," said Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert. "He has an unbelievable scoring record in the Europa League."
Kozak scored eight times in European football's second-tier knockout competition last season.
Lambert says his arrival will ease the pressure on fellow striker Christian Benteke, who has scored 22 times in 37 Premier League appearances since arriving from Belgian side Genk a year ago.
"We need somebody like him as we only have Christian Benteke really as a main target man," added Lambert.
Midfielder Stephen Ireland, 27, has joined Stoke City on loan for the rest of the season while Barry Bannan has signed for Crystal Palace on a three-year deal.
Villa manager Paul Lambert has already added to his attacking options this summer, with the signing of striker Nicklas Helenius from Aalborg. | Aston Villa have signed Czech Republic striker Libor Kozak from Lazio in a deal worth about £7m. | 23931006 | [

Eight people started fighting at the Palace Theatre in Manchester on the opening night of the Irish dance show.
Georgina Lynn Sixsmith, 48, has been charged with being drunk and disorderly and assault on a constable, police said.
There were no reports of injuries. The theatre has not commented.
The trouble began in the orchestra stalls during Tuesday's performance of Lord Of The Dance: Dangerous Games, directed and choreographed by Irish dance superstar Flatley.
The show is described as a high-energy, two-hour fusion of dance styles - from traditional Irish dance to tap and modern - and involves a story of good versus evil, with a Hunger Games flavour.
Ms Sixsmith, of Andrew Street, Middleton, has been bailed to appear at Manchester and Salford Magistrates' Court on 10 May. | A brawl broke out between audience members during a Hunger Games-inspired performance of Michael Flatley's Lord of the Dance. | 39587452 | [

Youngsters are returning to school this week in Scotland, with parents in other areas of the UK preparing children for the next academic year.
They are able to buy school shirts for ??1 and sweaters for ??2.
But rising cotton and wool prices mean it is unlikely that uniform prices can fall any further, Neil Saunders, of Verdict Research, said.
The big four UK supermarket chains - Asda, Tesco, Sainsbury's and Morrisons - as well as Marks and Spencer, are selling the constituent parts of a generic school uniform for less than ??5 each.
For example, Asda is selling a white shirt for ??1, Sainsbury's has put a ??2 price tag on grey and black trousers, and Tesco has blue and green sweaters on sale for ??1.75.
Although labour costs are low as many of these items are manufactured in Bangladesh and China, the margin for these items is still extremely slim.
The supermarkets accept this owing to the brand loyalty they gain from customers, who buy uniforms at cheap prices and then stay in the store to buy other goods such as school accessories and groceries.
The price war is unusual and prices for many other items are rising.
Plus-size school uniforms launch
The picture is also different for parents who must buy uniforms from specialist suppliers. Owing to prescriptive demands of these uniforms, prices tend to be higher than the generic supermarket clothes.
Verdict Research estimates the UK school uniform market to be worth ??694m.
The average price of a standard uniform has fallen by almost 21% since 2004, it said, with supermarkets increasing their market share.
However, the total value of uniform and equipment sales has fallen from ??861m in 2004 to ??694m, the research group said.
Neil Saunders, of Verdict, said that the quality of uniforms tended not to be at the same level as a decade ago.
"As long as they last, parents are not too concerned," he said.
"Children run around in these things, rip holes in them, and they fall apart anyway. As long as it lasts a term or half a year, parents are quite satisfied with that."
He added that because wholesale prices of cotton and wool were rising, it would be difficult to cut prices any further.
Last month, Marks and Spencer announced it had started to sell over-sized school uniforms for overweight children as young as four.
Campaigners said it was simply commercial recognition of the fact obesity was a growing problem among younger pupils. Marks and Spencer said the trial range followed demand from parents. | Supermarkets are engaging in school uniform price wars but prices cannot drop any further, an expert has said. | 10986415 | [

Northern Ireland's deputy first minister has been invited by the Flemish government to Flanders in Belgium, where the Battle of Messines took place in 1917.
He will also visit the Somme in France, where soldiers of the 36th (Ulster) and 16th (Irish) divisions fought together.
Mr McGuinness said he was making the trip "in the spirit of reconciliation".
The visit would be a "sincere effort to recognise the human suffering and also the importance these events hold for the unionist section of our people", he added.
"World War One is an important part of Ireland's multi-layered history during which tens of thousands Irish people lost their lives," Mr McGuinness said.
"If we are to build understanding and reconciliation on this island, we all need to recognise and accept the complexity of the historical events and differing political narratives that make us who we are as a community and as a people."
The Battle of the Somme began on 1 July 1916 and did not end until 18 November that year.
More than 3,500 soldiers from the 36th (Ulster) and 16th (Irish) divisions were killed and thousands more were injured.
The Battle of Messines started on 7 June 1917, and more than 40,000 men lost their lives in the fighting. | Sinn Féin's Martin McGuinness has said he will visit the sites of two World War One battles next week. | 36371590 | [

Andronicos Sideras, 55, is accused of mixing horsemeat with beef before selling it on through his company Dinos & Sons.
Two men who ran FlexiFoods - a meat suppliers linked to Dinos & Sons - have admitted passing horsemeat off as beef.
Mr Sideras denies one count of conspiracy to defraud.
The discovery of horsemeat in processed beef products sold by a number of UK supermarket chains in 2013 resulted in a series of product recalls.
The plot to pass horsemeat off as beef only came to light after horse identification chips were found in the meat by inspectors.
Ulrik Nielsen, 58, the owner of FlexiFoods, and his "right-hand man", Alex Beech, 44, have already admitted their involvement in the conspiracy.
Mr Sideras, of Southgate, north London, told the court in that in 2012 he agreed to store horsemeat for FlexiFoods.
He admits he relabelled the shipment because the packaging had been damaged during transit, but denies purchasing, selling or using the horsemeat.
The trial continues. | A businessman has denied being part of a conspiracy to pass off horsemeat as beef, claiming he was only storing the product for another company. | 40660011 | [

CIA code that obscures malware's origins was detailed in the latest release by the whistle-blowing site.
The code could be used to create a "signature" for CIA malware, said one virus hunter.
The information is part of a larger cache about CIA hacking tools that started to be released last month.
The release of the information could be "one of the most technically damaging" said Nicholas Weaver, a computer security researcher at the University of California in Berkeley, in an interview with the Washington Post.
"It seems designed to directly disrupt ongoing CIA operations and attribute previous operations," he said.
Before now, the information released about the CIA's hacking tools by Wikileaks has largely been only text describing many different ways the agency spies on targets.
The latest release differs as it involves actual code used to hide the ultimate origins of malware used by the US organisation.
It shows the obfuscation techniques used to make it harder to reverse engineer malware to unmask who made it.
Included in the code library are fragments of Chinese and Farsi that are intended to be used in malware, as well as methods of moving data around that seek to thwart tools examining whether different samples have anything in common.
Jake Williams, founder of security firm Rendition InfoSec, said the release was "significant".
"It allows the attribution of previously discovered malware to the CIA specifically," he wrote, adding that the code samples could add up to a signature for spotting agency work.
"It is likely that malware has been discovered previously which was not attributed to CIA then, but can be today thanks to the release of the code," he said.
The CIA would not comment on the authenticity of the information released by Wikileaks, but a spokesman said Americans should be "deeply troubled" by the organisation's actions.
"Dictators and terrorists have no better friend in the world than Julian Assange, as theirs is the only privacy he protects," said the spokesman. | Current spying campaigns run by the CIA could be disrupted, say experts, after more data on the agency's hacking techniques was released by Wikileaks. | 39478967 | [

Having won the toss and chosen to bat against the pink ball, the hosts got through the opening session untroubled.
But Craig Overton (2-35) struck, removing Jimmy Adams (47) and Rilee Rossouw in quick succession, before Jack Leach (2-54) and Tim Groenewald (2-27) hastened the decline.
Hampshire then put Somerset in to face six overs, but they closed on 18-0.
Overton, who was unused by England in last week's three-game T20 series with South Africa despite being called up to the squad, bowled a crucial spell to turn the tide.
With Liam Dawson (53) and Adams going well in their patient opening stand, the fast bowler found the latter's outside edge before Rossouw top-edged through to Steven Davies to go for a fifth duck in his last eight County Championship innings.
Dawson fell lbw soon after to Lewis Gregory (3-51) and, despite James Vince's 47, Hampshire's batting fell apart as Leach's accurate left-arm spin gave nothing away.
With a batting point secured, Hampshire captain George Bailey declared, but Marcus Trescothick (10 not out) and debutant Eddie Byrom, who was unbeaten on one, had no troubles reaching stumps under the floodlights.
Hampshire all-rounder Liam Dawson told BBC Solent:
"The crowds haven't changed. We haven't had any more people in. But it is early days and it is something that might work.
"From my first experience of it, they need to have a good look at what balls they are going to use. If you are going to keep on using those balls then you are going to get some pretty boring cricket.
"It was fine to see. It just goes very soft, very quickly."
Somerset fast bowler Craig Overton told BBC Radio Bristol:
"The ball was strange. It swings and then goes really soft. It didn't really do much maybe a little bit in it for the bowlers but because it is so soft and slow it is tough to score on.
"We knew it was going to be tough batting after lights so it is perfect to be nought down with Tres and Eddie.
"It was nice to be with the England boys and see how it all works. I've had a couple of experiences with it now and hopefully next time I'll get a go." | Hampshire collapsed from 84-0 but then declared on 211-9 as Somerset took control on day one at Southampton. | 40403998 | [

The man claims he had sex with Julie Wadsworth up to 15 times, between the ages of 14 and 18, including once when her husband Tony joined in.
He told the jury he sent messages to Mrs Wadsworth years after the alleged abuse when "drunk, depressed, or down".
Julie, 60, and Tony Wadsworth, 69, deny assaulting seven boys in the 1990s.
For more on this story and other Birmingham news
The Wadsworths, from Broughton Astley, Leicestershire, who have worked for BBC Radio Leicester and BBC WM, deny five counts of outraging public decency between July 1992 and June 1996.
Mrs Wadsworth has pleaded not guilty to 12 charges of indecent assault and Mr Wadsworth denies 10 counts of the same offence.
The complainant, now in his 30s, told Warwick Crown Court: "I kept going back when the abuse was happening.
"I didn't really want to do that. Afterwards I felt guilty, it was terrible."
Mrs Wadsworth's barrister David Hislop claimed the accuser became angry because the radio star "rejected" his advances when he contacted her on Facebook and by email years later.
The complainant replied: "Yeah, I was probably too old."
The man also denied the barrister's claims he had become "wholly obsessed" with Mrs Wadsworth and that he reported the couple to police only after his "heartfelt" messages were ignored.
The man replied: "I had occasionally [become obsessed] - when I was drunk, depressed, or down.
"When I looked back on it and would crave it [sex]."
"It's probably why you're meant to have sex with underage kids isn't it, because that is what it does to them."
He has told the jury he reported his allegations to police after receiving professional child protection training.
In a Facebook message he sent to Mrs Wadsworth in 2015, he said he wanted to meet her.
It read: "Been years - I still look back very fondly on fun times xx."
Another said: "I hope you don't see me as a stalker or a nuisance or anything like that - I'm a genuine guy and do really look back fondly on our time.
"I learnt a hell of a lot during our friendly chats."
The man said he deleted the messages, hoping they were unread.

Dartmoor Hill Pony Association (DHPA) said it had put forward the idea "reluctantly".
The group claims numbers have dropped from about 30,000 at the beginning of the century to just 1,500 in 2011.
The DHPA said if numbers continued to fall, the breed could lose its hardiness to survive on the moor.
It said demand had dropped for the ponies as pets because of the economic downturn.
The ponies were traditionally used for farming, postal deliveries and pulling carts.
Charlotte Faulkner, founder of the DHPA, said in a letter to South West Equine Protection (Swep): "It has taken years of considering reports and listening to the outcome of meetings to recognise and reluctantly accept that Dartmoor pony herders will only carry on keeping their herds if they have a sustainable market for them.
"We are in real danger of ponies disappearing from Dartmoor altogether."
Ms Faulkner said selling ponies for riding and driving would continue.
"The Dartmoor Hill Pony Association believes the meat trade should be (used) too," she said. "Strangely, having a meat trade should improve a pony's chances of finding a new home at sale."
Becky Treeby, of Swep, said: "Dartmoor hill ponies were there for a reason, for ecology purposes to keep grass on the moors down, and they have been there for thousands of years. People have never eaten them before. It is promoting over-breeding for profit."

The move comes barely two weeks after the NFF opened an investigation into reports that Keshi applied to manage Ivory Coast while under a valid contract with Nigeria.
Keshi recently claimed an un-named agent had submitted his name without his knowledge for the Ivory Coast position.
the Nigeria Football Federation has decided to exercise its option to summarily terminate the employment contract of Mr. Stephen Keshi with the Federation with immediate effect
An NFF statement outlined his fate.
"Having thoroughly reviewed the reports/findings of the NFF Disciplinary Committee and NFF Technical and Development Committee, as well as having reviewed the actions and inactions of Mr. Stephen Keshi, in the performance of his duties as Super Eagles' Head Coach, which we found to lack the required commitment to achieve the Federation's objectives as set out in the Coach's employment contract."
"To this end and pursuant to the provisions of Clause 4.3 of the Employment Contract between Mr. Stephen Keshi and the NFF (The Contract) and the various clauses therein, the Nigeria Football Federation has decided to exercise its option to summarily terminate the employment contract of Mr. Stephen Keshi with the Federation with immediate effect."
The NFF also said Keshi's sacking was "without prejudice to the settlement of any existing and due financial obligations between the NFF and Mr. Keshi."
Keshi, a former captain of the national team, led the side to the 2013 Nations Cup title in South Africa and also qualified the Super Eagles for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, where they reached the second round before losing to France.
His contract was not renewed after the World Cup but he later returned on a match-by-match deal, which ended in November after failure to reach the 2015 Nations Cup.
As caretaker coach, Keshi endured a turbulent 2014, in which he was sacked by the NFF and only reinstalled after intervention from then Nigeria President Goodluck Jonathan.
The 53-year-old, who returned for his third spell in April, led his side to a 2-0 home win against Chad in a 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in June, but has now been shown the exit door after less than three months in charge.
Meanwhile, Shaibu Amodu who was formally appointed the country's technical director last week, takes over as caretaker coach and will be assisted by Salisu Yusuf until a permanent successor is appointed.
Amodu who has previously managed the national team on four different occasions returns to the helm for a fifth time.
He led Nigeria to a third-place finish in the 2002 Nations Cup and also held the job between 1994 and 1997.
Amodu previously helped the country to qualify for the 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea.
Under his stewardship, Nigeria qualified for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa but Amodu was sacked despite the team's third-place finish at the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations in Angola.
It was the second time he had been removed from his post ahead of a World Cup finals tournament - Amodu was also fired ahead of the 2002 edition after Nigeria finished third at the 2002 Nations Cup in Mali. | Stephen Keshi has been sacked as coach of Nigeria and replaced by Shaibu Amodu, the country's Football Federation (NFF) has announced. | 33401116 | [

Sunni Muslim Tanveer Ahmed, 32, from Bradford in Yorkshire, stabbed 40-year-old Asad Shah outside his store in Shawlands on 24 March.
Ahmed had said he killed the shopkeeper because he had posted videos online in which he claimed to be a prophet.
The killer was told he would serve a minimum of 27 years in prison.
Mr Shah was an Ahmadi, a minority sect not recognised by all Muslims.
Why was Asad Shah murdered?
Last month, Ahmed had pleaded guilty to the religiously-motivated murder at a hearing at the High Court in Glasgow.
Jailing him for life at the same court, judge Lady Rae told Ahmed: "This was a barbaric, premeditated and wholly unjustified killing of a much loved man who was a pillar of the local community.
"He was described as a peaceful and peace-loving man and family man who went out of his way to show respect for those of any faith."
The judge branded the attack as "an appalling display of merciless violence".
Lady Rae added: "No-one in any civilised country including Scotland has the right to take the life of another whatever offence that individual perceives that he or she has suffered.
"It is vitally important in modern society that respect and tolerance for others of any race, creed, colour, ethnic origin or religious belief is maintained and protected by the law of the land.
"I note with considerable concern that you have expressed no remorse whatsoever for this appalling crime."
As Ahmed was being led to the cells to begin his sentence, he shouted to his family and friends in the public gallery in what is believed to be Arabic and they chanted back at him.
The court previously heard that Mr Shah was an Ahmadi who differ from the majority of Muslims, including Sunni Muslims, in that they believe the Prophet Muhammad was not the final Prophet.
The majority of Muslims believe Muhammad was the final Prophet and say any other view is inconsistent with Islamic belief.
Ahmed, a Sunni, claimed that he had killed Mr Shah because he had posted videos online in which the shopkeeper had "disrespected" Islam by claiming to be a prophet.
Ahmed watched a clip featuring Mr Shah on his mobile phone as he travelled to Glasgow on the day of the murder and was heard in a phone message to say "listen to this guy, something needs to be done, it needs nipped in the bud".
When he arrived at the shop, Ahmed said he warned Mr Shah that he was there to kill him and asked him to stop claiming to be a prophet.
CCTV footage of the attack showed Ahmed pulling a knife out and moving behind the counter and stabbing Mr Shah repeatedly.
The shopkeeper managed to get outside, but was stabbed again and then stamped on and kicked in a frenzied attack as he lay dying in the street.
Mr Shah's brother Athar Shah tried to intervene, but was unable to fend off Ahmed.
As Mr Shah lay dying on the ground, Ahmed walked calmly to a bus shelter where police found him a short time later.
After being arrested, Ahmed released a statement through his lawyer saying he had killed Mr Shah as he had falsely claimed to be a prophet.
After Ahmed was jailed, Ch Supt Brian McInulty, of Police Scotland, said: "I hope that the sentencing today will reassure the immediate community in Glasgow's south-side as well as communities all across Scotland that acts of violence such as this are utterly unacceptable and cannot be justified.
"Glasgow is a strong, united, multi-faith community that has immense pride in its diversity.
"Religious intolerance in any form is simply not tolerated in our society and Police Scotland will work in partnership with our communities to eradicate such behaviour."
The Shah family moved to Scotland from Pakistan in the 1990s to escape persecution over their beliefs.
No members of Mr Shah's family were in court to hear the sentence imposed, but friends were in the public gallery.
A victim impact statement written by Mr Shah's sister Attia on behalf of Mr Shah's family said: "Our pain goes beyond our vocabulary. We have tried, in an inevitably inadequate way to capture the feelings and emotions that no person should ever have to do.
"One of the most tangible and far-reaching consequences of this tragedy is that, as a family, whilst our bond will last forever, we have fragmented and many of us have or are in the process of leaving Scotland, in search of a new life, away from the memories we used to cherish but are now the source of immense pain and suffering."
The statement said Mr Shah's widow has been "brutally deprived of a life and companionship with her soul-mate and kindred spirit, the love of her life". | A man has been jailed for life after he admitted the religiously-motivated murder of a Glasgow shopkeeper who he claimed had "disrespected" Islam. | 37021385 | [

The 16-year-old was remanded to appear at Manchester Youth Court on Monday.
The girl is being supported by specially-trained officers.

Denis O'Brien was granted a high court injunction in May to stop RTÉ reporting details of his personal finances.
TD Catherine Murphy later made comments regarding his finances under privilege in the Dáil (parliament).
Media organisations returned to court to seek clarity.
Ms Murphy told the Dáil that Mr O'Brien owed the former Anglo Irish Bank upwards of 500m euro (£362m).
Ms Murphy, an independent left-wing TD, said Mr O'Brien was attempting to pay loans back at an interest rate of just over 1%, when it was arguable that the correct rate should be over 7%.
But those comments went largely unreported in the Republic of Ireland because of the high court injunction restraining RTÉ from reporting on Mr O'Brien's personal finances and his relationship with the former Anglo Irish Bank, now the nationalised Irish Bank Resolution Corporation (IBRC).
On Tuesday, lawyers for several media organisations returned to the high court to hear judge Donald Binchy say that he never intended nor could he order any interference with what a TD may say under privilege in the Dáil.
He could not stop any media organisation from reporting those remarks, he said.
That clarification has been welcomed by the national broadcaster RTÉ and other media organisations, and by the National Union of Journalists. | A high court judge in the Republic of Ireland has ruled that the media can report what was said in the Irish parliament under privilege about the country's richest man. | 32972563 | [

The lawsuit accuses Jean Kasem of elder abuse and inflicting emotional distress on Kasem's children by restricting their access to him before his death, according to the AP news agency.
Kasem was known as host of the American Top 40 radio show and as the voice of Shaggy in the TV animation Scooby Doo.
He died last June at the age of 82.
He had been suffering from dementia, and the battle between his children from a previous marriage and their stepmother Jean began before his death.
They claim she abused him before he died, moved him from Santa Monica to Washington without telling them and, after his death, had him buried in an unmarked grave in Norway despite his wishes to be laid to rest in Los Angeles.
"What she did to my father is reprehensible," daughter Kerri Kasem said, according to AP. "It's disgusting. It's horrific."
Jean Kasem's lawyer H Michael Soroy did not immediately return a request for comment to the news agency.
Kerri Kasem said the family members were taking legal action after US prosecutors decided not to bring criminal charges against Jean Kasem, who was married to the star for more than 30 years.
In May, Los Angeles prosecutors said they could not prove at trial that her actions led to his death.
Kerri has taken out the lawsuit with siblings Julie and Michael Kasem and their uncle Mouner. They are seeking damages of $250,000 (£166,000).
But Kerri Kasem said: "We would rather see her in jail than receive one dime. We don't care about the money. We care about justice."
Casey Kasem began his career in the 1950s and found fame with the chart programme in the 1970s.
He famously ended his broadcasts with his signature sign-off: "Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars." | Three of US DJ Casey Kasem's children and his brother have sued the late star's widow for wrongful death in the latest move in a bitter family feud. | 34930866 | [

Bob Walker was struck by the sliding doors when his crutch was trapped after he tried to get off the train when support he had booked did not turn up.
In a statement, Great Western Railway said it was investigating why the help he had arranged did not arrive.
Mr Walker said he suffered a loss of dignity and did not want others to suffer in the same way.
Disability charity Scope said families were facing significant barriers when using public transport across the country.
Head of communications Richard Lane said problems are often caused by poor attitudes of staff, inaccessible infrastructure or a lack of information.
Mr Walker was returning from Bristol after a medical assessment on injuries, including the loss of his leg, following a motorbike accident fifteen months earlier.
All his travel arrangements had been pre-booked by an insurance company including assistance at stations.
When he arrived at Bodmin Parkway staff initially refused to provide a ramp because of their own medical problems. It later arrived when they saw he was in trouble.
He said: "It was just a horrible and frightening experience. Being stuck in a train door is quite frightening to begin with.
"Apart from one leg missing I am fit and active and can get around quite well. There will be people worse off than I am and wouldn't want them to suffer the same indignity."
The Office of Road and Rail said they were working to find out how widespread the issue is.

The 29-year-old forward has signed what the Red Devils describe as a "long-term contract" at the AJ Bell Stadium.
McCarthy has previously played in Super League with Hull KR and Warrington, helping Wolves win the Challenge Cup.
"Tyrone is a really big signing for us. He is a bloke that leads with his actions," said head coach Ian Watson.
"Not only will he bring ability and experience to the side, but also leadership.
"His attitude and commitment to play for his team-mates is first class and that is exactly what we need at this stage of the season."
McCarthy, who has 12 international caps and played for his country at the 2013 World Cup, will be available for the Super 8s phase of the season, with Salford sitting third in Super League with one round of the regular season remaining. | Salford have signed Ireland international Tyrone McCarthy from Australian NRL side St George Illawarra Dragons with immediate effect. | 40651193 | [

The projection from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) shows a far-reaching shift in the balance of graduate numbers, with the rising Asian economies accelerating ahead of the United States and western Europe.
The forecasts for the shape of the "global talent pool" in 2020 show China as rapidly expanding its graduate numbers - set to account for 29% of the world's graduates aged between 25 and 34.
The biggest faller is going to be the United States - down to 11% - and for the first time pushed into third place, behind India.
The US and the countries of the European Union combined are expected to account for little more than a quarter of young graduates.
Russia is also set to decline - its share of the world's graduates almost falling by half since the beginning of the century.
Indonesia, according to the OECD's projections, will rise into fifth place.
Is this an end-of-empire moment?
Higher education has become the mirror and magnifier of economic performance - and in the post-World-War-II era, universities in the US, western Europe, Japan and Russia have dominated.
The US in particular has been the university superpower - in wealth, influence and until recently in raw numbers.
Up until 2000, the US still had a share of young graduates similar to China. And Japan had as big a proportion of young graduates as India.
Now China and India are the biggest players.
Their rise in graduate numbers reflects their changing ambitions - wanting to compete against advanced economies for high-skill, high-income employment.
Instead of offering low-cost manufacture, they are targeting the hi-tech professional jobs that have become the preserve of the Westernised middle classes.
As the OECD figures show, this is not simply a case of countries such as China expanding while others stand still.
Across the industrialised world, graduate numbers are increasing - just not as quickly as China, where they have risen fivefold in a decade.
The OECD notes that by 2020, China's young graduate population will be about the same as the total US population between the ages of 25 and 64.
This changing world map will see Brazil having a bigger share of graduates than Germany, Turkey more than Spain, Indonesia three times more than France.
The UK is bucking the trend, projected to increase its share from 3% in 2010 to 4% in 2020.
This push for more graduates has a clear economic purpose, says the OECD's analysis.
Shifting from "mass production to knowledge economy occupations" means improved employment rates and earnings - so there are "strong incentives" for countries to expand higher education.
But will there be enough graduate jobs to go round?
The OECD has tried to analyse this by looking at one aspect of the jobs market - science and technology-related occupations.
These jobs have grown rapidly - and the report suggests it is an example of how expanding higher education can generate new types of employment.
These science and technology jobs - for professionals and technicians - account for about four in every 10 jobs in some Scandinavian and northern European countries, the OECD suggests.
In contrast - and showing more of the old order - these technology jobs are only a small fraction of the workforce in China and India.
The OECD concludes that there are substantial economic benefits from investing in higher education - creating new jobs for the better-educated as unskilled manufacturing jobs disappear.
The OECD forecast reveals the pace of growth in graduate numbers. But it does not show the quality or how this expansion will translate into economic impact.
There are other ways of mapping the changing distribution of knowledge.
A team at the University of Oxford's Internet Institute has produced a set of maps showing the "geography of the world's knowledge".
This measures how populations are consuming and producing information in the online world - mapping the level of internet use, the amount of user-generated material in Google, concentrations of academic activity and the geographical focus of Wikipedia articles.
And in contrast to the rise of the Asian economies, this tells a story of continuing Western cultural dominance.
"In raw numbers of undergraduates and PhDs, the Asian economies are racing ahead," says Prof Viktor Mayer-Schonberger, from the Oxford Internet Institute.
"But what's interesting is how the West persists in its positions of strength - because the West controls the institutions.
"There are more students in China than ever before - but they still use Western mechanisms to publish results, they accept the filters," says Prof Mayer-Schonberger.
"The big question will be whether the Chinese researchers can be as insightful as their Western counterparts - we don't know yet."
The maps also reveal how much Africa and South America are losing out in this new scramble for digital power.
Prof Mayer-Schonberger said he was "completely shocked" at the extent of the imbalance.
Another feature of the Oxford study is to show how research bases and their spin-out economic activity are clustered into relatively small areas.
In the US, says Prof Mayer-Schonberger, there is hugely disproportionate investment around Silicon Valley and the Boston area, with large tracts of "wasteland" between.
"Each era has its own distinct geography. In the information age, it's not dependent on roads or waterways, but on bases of knowledge.
"This is a new kind of industrial map. Instead of coal and steel it will be about universities and innovation." | By the end of this decade, four out of every 10 of the world's young graduates are going to come from just two countries - China and India. | 18646423 | [

The bank had no firewall and used second-hand routers that cost $10 to connect to global financial networks.
Better security and hardware would have hampered the attackers, Reuters said, quoting an official investigator.
The hackers aimed to steal $1bn but made mistakes that led to the theft being spotted and stopped.
A firewall would have made attempts to hack the bank more "difficult", Mohammad Shah Alam, a forensic investigator who works on the Bangladesh team investigating the theft, told Reuters.
The second-hand hardware also meant that basic security steps to segregate network traffic were not taken, he said.
The cheap routers have hindered the investigation, said Mr Alam, because they collected very little network data that could be used to pinpoint the hackers and shed light on their tactics.
The hack took place in early February and involved hackers getting access to the core network of Bangladesh's central bank. They used this privileged access to transfer cash from Bangladesh's account at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York to other banks.
A spelling mistake in one of the transfer orders alerted bank staff and meant the hackers only managed to steal $81m. This has been traced to accounts in the Philippines and to casinos in the same country. Most of the cash has yet to be recovered.
Bank security experts said the bank should have spent more time and money protecting the network for its central bank.
"You are talking about an organisation that has access to billions of dollars and they are not taking even the most basic security precautions," Jeff Wichman, a consultant with cyber firm Optiv, told Reuters. | Hackers managed to steal $80m (£56m) from Bangladesh's central bank because it skimped on network hardware and security software, reports Reuters. | 36110421 | [

The Lego Movie creators Chris Miller and Phil Lord and Fox 21 TV Studios have optioned the rights to the podcast, reports Deadline.
They are developing a series which will chronicle the making of the podcast as it follows a new case.
The first series, a spin-off of NPR's This American Life, followed the murder of Hae Min Lee and the ex-boyfriend jailed for her death.
It became a cultural phenomenon, topping the iTunes chart for several weeks and picking up a Peabody Award.
Co-created and co-produced by Sarah Koenig and Julie Snyder, and hosted by Koenig, they will both act as executive producers on the forthcoming TV show.
"Chris (Miller) and Phil (Lord) take an unexpected approach to telling stories and that is so appealing to us at Serial," Snyder said.
"They experiment. They don't mimic formulas. Developing a show with them is exciting because we feel like we speak the same language, only they're smarter than us."
"From the very first week of Serial's release last fall, everyone at Fox 21 TVS was obsessed with the podcast," explained Fox 21 TV Studios president Bert Salke.
"One year later, thanks to the incredible passion of Chris and Phil, who flew to New York and shared their vision with Sarah, Julie (Snyder), Alissa (Shipp) and Ira (Glass) for what the series could be, we're moving forward on this exciting project...we are confident we'll attract a spectacular writer and look forward to pitching it to outlets very soon."
The Serial podcast has been commissioned for two more seasons.
Series two will concentrate on the story of captured US Army soldier Bowe Bergdahl, and will air in the autumn.
Lord and Miller have also signed on to direct the Han Solo Star Wars movie, which is set for release in May 2018. | Popular true crime podcast Serial is set to become a cable TV series. | 34411026 | [

A report by the Food and Agriculture Organization said agriculture accounted for about a fifth of emissions, which it said needed to be reduced.
The State of Food & Agriculture 2016 report said "business as usual" would leave millions at risk from hunger.
Last year, nations adopted a UN goal of ending hunger by 2030.
"The climate is changing, so agriculture must change too," explained Rob Voss, director of FAO's Agricultural Development Economics division.
"We are saying that because agriculture is already very affected by the impacts of climate change, particularly the countries in the tropical zones.
"Also, agriculture is contributing itself to about one fifth of the global emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases," Mr Voss, who headed the team that produced the FAO State of Food & Agriculture 2016 report, added.
"If we continue along the present pathways then we will not be able to [deliver] food security around the world and we will not be able to stabilise the climate."
As a result, he told BBC News, there was a need for "major changes" to take place in the sector.
"One of the challenges is agriculture itself. As soon as we shovel the ground then we are already releasing greenhouse gas emissions. Also, as it is so dependent on water and quality of land, any impact from the change in climate has a direct impact."
Therefore, he said, the challenge was bearing these changes in mind and looking at ways to shift to a more sustainable footing.
"A lot of the technologies that are available that allow us to do things differently do face a number of hurdles, especially when it comes to smallholder farmers in developing countries.'
These include the cost of changing the way farmers produce their food; knowledge of shifting to the novel ways of farming; urbanisation; access to water.
In terms of making the change to deliver a robust global food system, Mr Voss said the report highlighted four steps that could be taken:
"First, put in the steps that would help farmers switch to more sustainable practices, such as more efficient use of fertilizers and using heat tolerant and drought resistant crop varieties."
He added that management systems, such as agroforestry - which places forestry cultivation around farmlands, would also be beneficial as it helps farmers build in great resilience against the impacts of climate change.
"Secondly, we need to work harder to increase the capacity of soils and forestry to sequestrate carbon. Deforestation and changes to land-use is one of the major sources of emissions from the sector.
"A third area where we can immediately start work on is to reduce food losses and waste. We estimate that about one third of the food we produce gets lost in the post-harvest process or gets wasted at the consumer end.
"The fourth area, which is more challenging, is to try and do something about people's diets. What we have been seeing around the world is a clear shift towards increasing demands for food products that put a lot more pressure on natural resources."
The report observed: "Rebalancing diets towards less animal-sourced foods would make an important contribution in this direction, with probable co-benefits for human health."
FAO director-general Jose Graziano da Silva said that the coming twelve months should be about "putting commitments into action", referring to the adoption of the UN Sustainable Development Goal of delivering "zero hunger" by 2030.
He also observed that agriculture was set to be one of the main topics for discussion at the forthcoming UN climate summit in Morocco in November.
"Climate change threatens all dimensions of food security," Mr Graziano da Silva warned.
"It will expose both urban and rural poor to higher and more volatile food prices. It will also affect food availability by reducing the productivity of crops, livestock and fisheries."
He stated: "Hunger, poverty and climate change need to be tackled together."

The World Anti-Doping Agency said many athletes who had been targeted for testing "simply could not be found".
It added that, on some days, "up to 50% of tests were aborted".
Its 55-page Independent Observers report found that, of the 11,470 athletes, 4,125 had no record of any testing in 2016, of whom 1,913 were competing in 10 "higher-risk sports".
It also said:
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) is ultimately responsible for delivering the anti-doping programme for the Olympic Games.
Wada mentioned several "failings" which led to inadequate support for the chaperones employed to notify athletes of testing.
It said that on several occasions more than half of these failed to turn up, or turned up very late. It said they were "disincentivised" because of a lack of training, poor travel arrangements, and the fact many could not speak English.
It said that, for "the majority of times" the 'no-notice' nature of testing was "obviously compromised" because chaperones did not know where athletes were and had to ask their team-mates where they were.
In one of its recommendations, it said: "Untrained and inexperienced chaperones should not be working at the Games.
"It undermines respect and trust among athletes in the anti-doping program, and provides opportunities for experienced and unscrupulous athletes who would want to abuse the system to manipulate the doping control process."
Wada did praise improvements made to Rio's anti-doping laboratory, however.
The organisation had suspended the lab just six weeks before the Games opened, because it failed to comply with international standards.
But Wada said it had been "superbly equipped", and was "operated very securely and generally very efficiently".
It said it now represents an "outstanding legacy from the Games for the anti-doping movement in South America".
A statement on the IOC's website quoted Dr Richard Budgett, the IOC's medical and scientific director, saying the report "shows that it was a successful Olympic Games with a successful anti-doping programme".
He added that the integrity of the programme had been "ensured despite some challenges".
Speaking to BBC Radio 5 live, Sir Craig Reedie, president of Wada, said that the logistical problems highlighted were disappointing.
"What was a real problem was the sample collection," he said, "and there were number of major issues in Brazil, one was the lack of money and the other lack of manpower and some of that worked its way through to the sample collection process.
"In general the integrity of the process was not undermined according to the report."
Reedie said the doping programme had been well planned but let down by unforeseen circumstances.
"If you assume that you have a certain number of people to do the work and 50% don't turn up you've got a problem," he said.
BBC sports editor Dan Roan
In the midst of the Russian doping scandal, and the revelation that both London 2012 and Sochi 2014 were sabotaged by state-sponsored cheating, it was crucial that the authorities did as much as possible to show they were keeping Rio 2016 clean.
Instead, this damning report is another shattering blow to the credibility of anti-doping and the Olympic movement's integrity, showing how organisational chaos blighted the Games' drugs-testing programme.
After it refused demands to ban Russia's entire team from the Olympics, do not be surprised if there are now calls for the IOC itself to be declared Wada non-compliant.
And there could also be tough questions for the UK Anti-Doping agency, which acted as the secretariat for a pre-Rio anti-doping taskforce. | A Wada report on the anti-doping methods employed at Rio 2016 has highlighted "serious failings". | 37794421 | [

It is a joint venture between Lacuna Developments, based in Holywood, County Down, and the Welsh firm Watkin Jones.
They have bought the former Willis insurance offices, close to the junction with Botanic Avenue.
The same joint venture is currently converting the former Belfast Metropolitan College building at College Square East into student flats.
It is also planning a student development at the former Athletic Stores building in the city centre.
There are currently plans for more than 4,000 student 'beds' to be developed in Belfast over the next few years.
The latest application, which was filed last week, is for more than 700 units in a development on Donegall Street.
It will form part of the bigger Northside regeneration scheme which includes a hotel, social housing and commercial space.
Most of the planned student accommodation is on the northern edge of the city centre, close to the new campus of the Ulster University.
The latest Watkin Jones/ Lacuna plan is the first private sector scheme close to Queens University, Belfast.
The scheme represents an investment of around £10m and the developers are aiming to deliver it by September 2017.
It will be managed by Fresh Student Living, which is involved with the other two schemes. | A student housing developer is planning to build around 150 apartments on the Dublin Road in south Belfast. | 33501270 | [

An, ranked 132 in the world, finished on 21 under par, six shots clear of Spain's Miguel Angel Jimenez (67) and Thailand's Thongchai Jaidee (69).
England's Chris Wood (66) was fourth on 13 under, one shot clear of Italy's Francesco Molinari (74), who was tied for the lead with An overnight.
The 23-year-old An's win is his first on one of the world's major tours.
An was the youngest-ever winner of the US Amateur Championship in 2009, at the age of 17.

He became only the third European Tour rookie to win the prestigious PGA Championship in its 60-year history and his 267 total over four rounds also beat the tournament record by two shots.
His victory, the first time the European Tour's flagship event has been won by an Asian, will see him climb into the world's top 60, secured his place in the US Open and Open Championship and a five-year exemption in Europe.
"It's going to be life changing," said An, the son of two Olympic table-tennis medallists - his mother Jiao Zhimin represented China and his father Ahn Jae Hyung competed for South Korea.
"This is the biggest event on the European Tour and there are a lot of benefits. I played really well today and had all the confidence going into the last couple of holes."
An began the final round tied for the lead with Molinari and, despite picking up shots at the second and fourth, was only one ahead at the turn thanks to a hat-trick of birdies from Jaidee from the fifth.
However, a birdie at the 11th and tap-in eagle at the 12th gave An a three-shot cushion that became four when Jaidee bogeyed the 13th.
An made certain of victory with birdies on the 15th and 17th and a par on the last completed a hugely impressive performance from the Challenge Tour graduate.

UN ambassador Nikki Haley said it was "hard to accept" that resolutions had been passed against Israel, a US ally, but none were considered on Venezuela.
She also said not enough had been done to criticise Iran, a "country with an abysmal human rights record".
Mrs Haley was making her first address to the council in Geneva.
"The United States is looking carefully at this council and our participation in it. We see some areas for significant strengthening," she said.
"Being a member of this council is a privilege and no country who is a human rights violator should be allowed a seat at the table.
"It's hard to accept that this council has never considered a resolution on Venezuela and yet it adopted five biased resolutions, in March, against a single country, Israel. It is essential that this council address its chronic anti-Israel bias if it is to have any credibility."
Venezuela has been in political turmoil for month and dozens of protesters have been killed.
Since its formation in 2006, the Human Rights Council has been a flawed body because its membership has included serial human rights violators such as China, Russia, Venezuela and Saudi Arabia.
That's been a bugbear of the US for years, and Nikki Haley said she would convene a side-meeting on Venezuela during her visit to Geneva to drive home the point.
But what seems to anger the Trump administration most about the 47-member body is what she described as its "chronic anti-Israel bias".
Writing in the Washington Post, she complained that the council had passed more than 70 resolutions against Israel but just seven against Iran. The Bush administration, believing the council would treat Israel unfairly, boycotted the body, a decision reversed by Barack Obama.
The message from the Trump administration is reform or we're leaving. Nikki Haley wants more competitive elections to the body rather than the regional blocs nominating candidates that are uncontested. It seems to have decided, for now, that it is better to have a seat at the table and to demand reform, rather than exit the council.
Criticism of the 47-member council was repeated on the Twitter feed of the US mission to the UN on Tuesday.
Speaking later at the Graduate Institute of Geneva, Mrs Haley said the US did not seek to leave the council but "we seek to re-establish the council's legitimacy".
The council is able only to order investigations and record criticism of countries it judges to have violated human rights, but it acts as a crucial diplomatic tool.
In recent months, it has issued resolutions on human rights in North Korea, Haiti and Myanmar, among other countries.
In March, the UK government accused the UNHRC of an "unacceptable pattern of bias" by singling Israel out as the only country subject to mandatory discussion at every session.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has previously called the body "an anti-Israel circus which attacks the only democracy in the Middle East and ignores the blatant violations of Iran, Syria and North Korea".
And in 2013, Israel ended its working relationship with the group after it decided to investigate Jewish settlements in the West Bank.
Mrs Haley's comments came after an opening address in Geneva by UN human rights chief Zeid Ra'ad al-Hussein calling on Israel to withdraw from territories it captured in the 1967 war.
He condemned what he called "a half-century of deep suffering under an occupation imposed by military force".
Israel has occupied the West Bank, East Jerusalem and the Syrian Golan Heights since the war, 50 years ago this week. The UN also considers the Gaza Strip, which Israel pulled its troops and settlers out of in 2005, as part of occupied Palestinian territory.
Israel and the Palestinians blame each other for the failure to resolve the final status of the occupied territories after years of on-off peace talks.
Among the current members of the UNHRC is key US ally Saudi Arabia, which has been accused of rights violations, and whose accession to the group in 2013 was criticised. | The US says it is considering what part it will play on the UN's Human Rights Council, highlighting what it calls a "biased" stance on Israel. | 40173472 | [

The 34-year-old beat three-time champion Tony Martin by 26.23 seconds on a hilly 47.1km course in Spain.
After finishing second to Martin in 2011 and 2013, Wiggins finally has a rainbow jersey on the road to go with the six he has won on the track.
"I knew coming into it that I had the legs," Wiggins said afterwards.
"Once I saw the course I realised if I was ever going to beat Tony again it was on a course like this.
"It's been an up and down year - obviously I didn't ride the Tour de France. I want to dedicate this to my family because they had to put up with me when I was at home in July.
"It's my last Road World Championships and I've finished with a gold medal."
Martin trailed Wiggins by 9.64 seconds at the final time-check and the Briton extended his lead in the final 12km.
Wiggins clocked 56 minutes 25.52 seconds to claim a convincing win over Germany's Martin, who was chasing a fourth-successive title. Tom Dumoulin of the Netherlands finished third.
"I knew it would be difficult on the final loop, but I paced it perfectly and still had pace in the final few kilometres," Wiggins explained.
"On my last descent, I heard on the radio that I was 10 seconds up but I pushed all the way to the line because I did not want to take any risks."
Wiggins collapsed to the ground in exhaustion at the finish line but recovered to raise his thumb in celebration when Martin crossed the line.
Victory in north-west Spain gives the 2012 Tour de France winner a world time trial title to go with his three national titles and gold at the London Olympics in the discipline.
"To add the world title is just fantastic. Now I've got the set," added Wiggins.
It is the perfect end to a patchy year on the road and track for Wiggins, who won the Tour of California in May, but then missed out on Team Sky selection for the Tour de France and had to settle for silver in the velodrome in the team pursuit at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games.
His success means he becomes the first British male rider to take world time trial gold since Chris Boardman in the inaugural race in 1994. Emma Pooley was the last British female to win gold in the event in 2010.
Wiggins has announced that he intends to return to the track for the Rio Olympics in 2016 and also hopes to attempt to break the hour record set by Germany's Jens Voigt last week.

Abigail is the first storm to be given a name by the Met Office who keep track of our weather.
The storm will hit Northern Ireland with strong winds on Thursday afternoon, and move towards the west coast of Scotland and northern England on Friday.
As if one storm wasn't enough, the UK will also be battered by ex-hurricane Kate, which is the end of a hurricane from the Atlantic Ocean. Kate will bring lots more rain for Scotland, Wales and northern parts of England.
Weather forecasters have told people to make sure they are prepared for strong winds, especially in Scotland. Several schools have already shut in the Western Isles in Scotland because of the bad weather. | Much of the UK will be hit by Storm Abigail on Thursday, bringing lots of rain and strong winds. | 34798412 | [

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) said some punters did not get the deal they expected from sign-up promotions offering cash bonuses to attract them to gaming websites.
The CMA also said the firms were "unfairly holding onto people's money".
Online gambling companies should "play fair", said the CMA.
Nisha Arora, CMA senior director for consumer enforcement said: "New customers are being enticed by tempting promotions only to find the dice are loaded against them.
"And players can find a whole host of hurdles in their way when they want to withdraw their money."
Online gambling: What's the catch?
The CMA launched its investigation into the gambling sector in October 2016. It has since heard from about 800 "unhappy" customers and has "demanded companies answer questions about how they operate, and closely examined the play on a range of websites".
As a result it has identified "a number of operators engaging in practices likely to be breaking consumer law", which is why it is taking enforcement action.
The controversial promotions involve terms and conditions which prevent punters from walking away from play with their winnings at a point of their choosing.
For example, someone might bet £10 of their own money which is then matched by £10 from the online betting company.
However, in the terms and conditions of play it might state that the customer has to play several hundred times within a certain period of time before they can cash in their winnings.
In some instances, under these "wagering requirements" people have amassed winnings of several thousand pounds but they have had to keep on betting, said the CMA, meaning that their chances of losing money increase.
"They don't have the choice to quit while they're ahead and walk away with their winnings when they want to," the CMA said.
The Remote Gambling Association (RGA), whose members include many online gambling firms, said it would take "some time to digest and consider properly" the CMA announcement.
"However, where failings are identified companies individually will rectify them," it added.
"If there are generic lessons to be learned then, as ever, we will work with the Gambling Commission to bring those to the attention of the wider industry with a view to raising standards across the board."
Initially the CMA is talking to the companies involved, which it says it cannot name, demanding that they change their practices.
If they do not meet the requirements, the CMA can take them to court. The court could fine the companies or ultimately revoke their licences.
The Gambling Commission has been working alongside the CMA on the investigation.
It said identity checks were an "important duty" for the gambling industry to "prevent money laundering and to ensure responsible gambling".
But, it added, concerns had been raised that some operators might be "applying these requirements in a restrictive way, preventing consumers from legitimately withdrawing funds from their gambling accounts".
The online gambling sector has grown by about 150% since 2009 and is worth £4.5bn. The CMA said more than 6.5 million people regularly use the sites.
The CMA's George Lusty led the investigation. "If you're required to place hundreds of thousands of bets before you can make a withdrawal, then that is going to require you to invest a lot of time into these promotions," he told the BBC.
"Our main interest is these casino-type products, but we do also have some concerns in relation to free sports bets promotions as well."
The CMA is also asking for other people who have had trouble withdrawing their money to come forward by 31 August to help it "probe this issue even further".
Chris Sattin from Gloucester was playing roulette on a website called Maria Casino and won £35,000, but he wasn't allowed to withdraw his winnings.
He told Radio 4's You and Yours: "I was shaking, my adrenaline was pumping. I pressed on the iPhone to withdraw, but nothing was happening. Because I'd never won these sums of money before, I thought maybe it's only happening because it's a large sum of money and I need to contact customer services."
Maria Casino told Chris he had an account with its sister company Unibet, and he had used a self-exclusion feature on the site - something introduced by the Gambling Commission to help problem gamblers.

The Scotland head coach's side sit second bottom of Group F ahead of the game at Hampden Park on 26 March.
"We must win that game," he said. "There is no getting away from that."
But Strachan did not wish to consider what a defeat would mean for his own future and said: "Whatever happens after that, we will look at that."
The 60-year-old, who has been in charge since 2013, signed a new two-year contract in October 2015.
Following successive 3-0 defeats away to Slovakia and England, he took time to consider his position but decided in November to carry on after receiving the backing of the Scottish Football Association board.
As he announced his squad for the 22 March warm-up friendly against Canada, followed by the qualifier against Slovenia, Strachan underlined his belief that the Scots could still reach the 2018 finals in Russia.
"If we win that game, we will only be one point behind Slovenia, who are in second at the moment," he said.
Strachan, whose side lie fifth with four points from four matches, insisted he had "no idea" how many points they might require from their final six matches to qualify, while admitting that the Scots could not afford further setbacks.
"But we are looking forward to that challenge and I think the fans will be looking forward to that challenge of going to a game that you must win," he said.
"So, together, we can make it a right good night for us.
"The fans have always given us support, but we really need it on that night.
"The guys will be prepared, the fans will be prepared and we are looking to put in a right good performance."
Strachan will again field questions about his future should Scotland fall short.
"I think fans, players, anybody who really wants us to do well, will be wishing us luck and dealing with anything after the game," he added.
"Everyone who wants to see us go to the World Cup will be backing us to win this game.
"The most important thing is three points and enjoying the build-up, which we will be doing.
"The best part of my job is coaching and I am looking forward to that and then looking forward to the challenge of the game." | Scotland must beat Slovenia if they are to resurrect their chances of reaching the World Cup finals, Gordon Strachan has acknowledged. | 39258636 | [

They were followed by announcements from skin care firm Syneron-Candela and Japanese mattress maker Airweave.
It comes after Lochte lied about being robbed at gunpoint by a policeman after a night out during the Rio Olympics.
Lochte, a 12-time Olympic medalist, has earned millions of dollars through endorsements.
Speedo, the biggest sponsor of the four, said: "We cannot condone behaviour that is counter to the values this brand has long stood for."
Lochte, aged 32, said he respected Speedo's decision, and thanked the company.
"I am grateful for the opportunities that our partnership has afforded me over the years,'' he said.
Speaking on US talk show Today, Lochte said: "I made a mistake and I definitely learned from this. They put on a great Games... and my immature, intoxicated behaviour tarnished that a little."
Ralph Lauren, which has removed some of Lochte's images from its website, said its sponsorship of the swimmer had been only for the Rio Olympics and would not be renewed.
Ralph Lauren and Airweave both stressed that they would continue their support of the US Olympic and Paralympic teams.
Syneron-Candela said: "We hold our employees to high standards, and we expect the same of our business partners.''
Speedo said it would donate a $50,000 portion of Lochte's sponsorship fee to the charity Save The Children's Brazilian operation.
The value of Lochte's Speedo sponsorship has not been disclosed. The contract reportedly expires this year after 10 years.
The US business magazine Forbes calculated that in the year of the 2012 London Olympics, Lochte earned about $2m in sponsorships from companies such as Gillette, Nissan, AT&T and Gatorade.
Lochte's performance at Rio did not reach the heights of his London triumph, but Forbes estimated his endorsements would still have been between $1m-$2m.
The saga started when Lochte and three team-mates returned to the Olympic village after a late night out in Rio.
They tried, unsuccessfully, to use the locked toilet at a garage and urinated outside instead.
After first claiming that he and his three team-mates had been robbed by bogus policemen, Lochte back-tracked and admitted he had, while still drunk, "left details out" and "over-exaggerated some parts of the story".
Despite the evidence against him, including CCTV footage, he has however denied that he actually lied in his initial account to Brazilian police.
Lochte's behaviour has been met with disdain in the US and he has been widely pilloried in the US media.
On 19 August the New York Post carried a front-page headline describing him as the "Ugly American", along with the slogan "Liar, Liar, Speedo on fire".
Lochte is one of the most successful swimmers in history, with 12 Olympic medals, and he once had his own reality television show in the US.
In Rio, he swam in two events, winning a gold medal in the 4x200m freestyle relay along with team-mate Jack Conger.
"We appreciate his many achievements and hope he moves forward and learns from this experience," Speedo said of Lochte. | Four sponsors have dropped disgraced US Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte, including swimwear manufacturer Speedo and fashion label Ralph Lauren. | 37159288 | [

Norwegian Forest cat Clive vanished from his home in Toton, Nottinghamshire, in October 2014.
He was found at the Kennelgate Pet Superstores warehouse, about two miles away, where he had repeatedly set off the alarms during the night.
His owner Tanya Irons said she could not believe he was "so porky".
"It's amazing, he's so big and fluffy because it's winter," she said.
"He liked to go outside a lot, but we think somebody must have been feeding him, he's such a lovely cat.
"I can't believe he's so porky."
More on this and other stories in Nottinghamshire
When Clive first went missing Ms Irons put out appeals for help but heard nothing, assuming he had been taken in by a new owner.
But in recent weeks staff at the warehouse began to notice that something was amiss.
Colin Lewis, retail operations director, said: "The warehouse operations director was getting alarm calls because there was something active in the warehouse at night - it was setting the alarms off.
"We eventually found it was a cat - we just couldn't catch it."
Using a cat trap, the staff managed to apprehend Clive and reunited him with Ms Irons and her family this week - although they warned her he "smelled a bit".
Mr Lewis said: "It's great to see...I'm happy they're back together again.
"It's been a strange day at the office." | A cat missing for more than a year has been reunited with his owner after he was found "feasting" in a pet food warehouse. | 35489215 | [

A statue of Sekhemka valued at £2m was gifted to Northampton's museums by the 4th Marquis of Northampton in 1880.
The Conservative-run council plans to sell it and use the money for heritage schemes but this has been challenged by the Liberal Democrat group.
The ruling party said it could not comment during legal talks.
The sale was earlier challenged by Lord Northampton, a descendant of the marquis, who said the council did not have the right to sell Sekhemka.
The 30in (76cm) limestone figure of a court official clutching beer, bread and cake - items for the afterlife - is believed to have been acquired by Spencer Compton, the second Marquis of Northampton during a trip to Egypt in 1850.
It was presented to the museum by his son some years later.
The council said the statue's value made it too expensive to insure and secure, and its sale could benefit other local heritage and cultural projects.
The Liberal Democrats said the sale should be stopped and the statue ought to remain in Northampton.
Council leader David Mackintosh said: "We have made the decision to auction the statue and reinvest the money into our towns culture and heritage.
"Our legal team are in contact with Lord Northampton, and it would be inappropriate to comment further."
The issue will be discussed at a forthcoming meeting of the council. | Opposition parties on Northampton Borough Council have asked for greater clarity on its plans to sell a 4,000-year-old Egyptian statue. | 23288143 | [

Substitutes Cian Bolger and Ashley Hunter and Amari'i Bell all netted in the first half of extra time as Fleetwood booked their place in the second round on boss Uwe Rosler's 48th birthday.
The result was harsh on the visitors who started well although Fleetwood looked content to grind down the opposition and their patience was rewarded before the break.
Devante Cole skipped past Ryan Higgins, cutting in from the right and delivering a ball to the back post where Aaron Amadi-Holloway was lurking. The striker did not make clean contact but his deflected finish was enough to hand the League One side the lead.
The second half was all Southport and former Fleetwood forward Jamie Allen should have levelled when a defensive mistake left him unmarked five yards out, with goalkeeper Alex Cairns springing to the rescue for under-fire Fleetwood.
With four minutes remaining the visitors were rewarded for their pressure, as substitute Ashley Grimes barged through a crowded box and smashed Southport level from close range.
But Fleetwood hit back, with Hunter's curling strike forcing a fine save from Norman.
It was a brief reprieve for Steve Burr's men, Hunter drilling the resulting corner into the path of makeshift striker Bolger, who scored with a powerful header.
Hunter then sealed Fleetwood's progress two minutes later, racing clear on a slick breakaway and smashing the ball low under Norman.
Hunter was instrumental as Rosler's League One side further skewed the scoreline, stealing in from the left to tee up Bell for a deflected fourth.

From nightclubs to sports grounds to television studios, it seems almost everyone's had a dip at doing the dab.
But in a surprising new development, it has worked its way into the stuffy world of Irish politics.
In an attempt to get down with the kids, Richard Boyd Barrett brought the dab to the Dáil - the Irish parliament.
The left-wing Anti-Austerity Alliance People Before Profit politician pulled the move during a debate on the Irish government's Misuse of Drugs Bill on Thursday.
In his speech he said politicians "need to start to listen to young people", adding that some in his Dún Laoghaire constituency in County Dublin had asked him: "Do you have any idea what's going on?"
And he said they asked him to dish out a "bit of street language, from the street" to his fellow parliamentarians in the Dáil.
"When kids are trying to make a positive statement on the street they do a thing called a dab," he said.
"I don't know if you've ever seen it.
"I don't know what it means.
"But we need to learn what it means, learn what young people are talking about, what matters to them, what they consider positive activity."
Speaking to The Ryan Tubridy Show on RTÉ Radio 1, Mr Boyd Barrett said "we need more" hip-hop in the Dublin parliament.
"I don't pretend to be an expert on these things, but it's more from my own kids and young people that I've kind of learnt about these things," he said.
"Hip-hop, for a lot of teenagers these days, is the language they speak - it's the cultural language of teenagers."
He added that it's "very obvious" that many young people "are completely alienated from politics".
"In any election, it's clear that the biggest demographic that don't vote and don't engage with politics are young people.
"I think it's our responsibility to engage with young people." | It's a global dance craze born out of US hip-hop culture that's swept the world over the last year. | 36744044 | [

Holdsworth, 47, beat takeover offers from banker Roger Tamraz and Bolton Wanderers Supporters' Trust.
The club, owned by Eddie Davies, are £172.9m in debt and have been trying to find a buyer for a number of months.
The Championship strugglers are scheduled in the High Court on Monday over a £3m unpaid tax bill.
It is hoped the takeover will soon be completed as Wanderers must let the High Court know by 19 February if they are going to enter administration, and also prove they have funds to continue trading.
Former Wimbledon and Brentford forward Holdsworth spent six seasons at Bolton, scoring 52 goals in 188 appearances.
BBC Radio Manchester also understands the sale of the Trotters' training ground at Euxton has yet to be finalised, with League One side Wigan making an approach. | Bolton Wanderers have given preferred bidder status to former striker Dean Holdsworth's Sports Shield consortium, reports BBC Radio Manchester. | 35604495 | [

Nottinghamshire Police said it would expand its categories to include misogynistic incidents.
It means abuse or harassment which might not be a crime can be reported to and investigated by the police, and support for the victim put in place.
Nottingham Women's Centre said it hopes it will help give more victims the courage to report incidents.
Chief Constable Sue Fish claimed it will make the county a safer place for women.
"What women face, often on a daily basis, is absolutely unacceptable and can be extremely distressing," she said.
"Nottinghamshire Police is committed to taking misogynistic hate crime seriously and encourages anyone who is affected by it to contact us without hesitation."
Work on the idea first started with the Nottinghamshire Safer for Women Conference last year, co-hosted by the police with the Nottingham Women's Centre.
BBC TV reporter Sarah Teale was harassed in the street while reporting on the conference.
The force defines misogyny hate crime as: "Incidents against women that are motivated by an attitude of a man towards a woman and includes behaviour targeted towards a woman by men simply because they are a woman."
The classification now means people can report incidents which might not be considered to be a crime and the police will investigate.
Nottingham Women's Centre has been helping train call centre, force control staff and officers on the beat to recognise misogynistic hate crime and ways to tackle it.
These officers will also examine if and how a victim can be supported or if anything can be done to help prevent them being targeted again.
Domestic abuse will not be recorded as a misogyny hate crime because it has its own procedure, the force said.
Melanie Jeffs, centre manager at Nottingham Women's Centre, said: "We're pleased to see Nottinghamshire Police recognise the breadth of violence and intimidation that women experience on a daily basis in our communities."
She added: "Recording this as a hate crime will give us a detailed picture of how often, when and where it is happening. It has been very difficult to build that picture before but we will now get detailed data to analyse.
"Showing that the police take it seriously will also give people the confidence to come forward and report offences."
A crime that the victim or any other person perceives to be motivated by hostility or prejudice towards any aspect of a person's identity.
Police forces in England, Wales and Northern Ireland annually monitor five strands of hate crime:

Moorways was closed to the public in 2016 but continued to be used by swimming clubs until the end of January.
The decision was made in a bid to save about £350,000 a year.
Council leader Ranjit Banwait said that whatever the cost of a new pool, it was important to get it right.
Moorways, built more than 40 years ago, has struggled with maintenance and health and safety issues.
Derby's other big pool, at the Queen's Leisure Centre, is currently closed due to structural problems, although two other pools remain open for public use at the centre.
The Moorways closure was opposed by high-profile swimmers Ross Davenport, who won two gold medals at the Commonwealth Games in 2006, and Olympic champion Adam Peaty, who now trains outside the city.
Mr Banwait said: "To start work on the pool we've set £20m aside as an initial amount of money.
"Potentially the work is going to cost more than that, we are currently looking at the designs... if it means it is going to cost more we will put that money in place.
"The most important thing is that we get this right, this pool's going to be built and it's going to be there for generations to come."
The new 50m pool is expected to be built by 2020. | A replacement for one of Derby's council-run swimming pools could cost more than the £20m the local authority estimated. | 39095184 | [

At the end of Wednesday's trading, the FTSE 100 was down 0.62% or 46.33 points at 7,478.62.
Banking stocks were among the top risers, with Lloyds Banking Group up 1.65% and RBS adding 1.35%.
Analysts said that struggling Spanish bank Banco Popular's rescue by Santander had given the overall banking sector a boost.
On the downside, pharmaceutical companies tumbled. Shire was the biggest faller on the 100-share index, dropping 3.2%.
Meanwhile, AstraZeneca lost 1% after its announcement that it had sold the rights for its migraine drug Zomig for $302m.
Colin McLean, manager of the UK growth fund at SVM Asset Management, said uncertainty over the outcome of the election so far appeared to be having little impact on investors.
"The bigger picture is that international stocks have been doing less well," he said.
"Quite a lot of what drove markets last year has gone into reverse over the last six months and investors are looking again at some of the beneficiaries of lower growth and deflation.
"That probably drives investors a little bit more than the election," he said.
On the currency markets, the pound rose slightly against the dollar, adding 0.33% to $1.2953. It rose 0.61% against the euro to 1.1517 euros. | The FTSE 100 closed slightly lower on the last day of campaigning before the general election. | 40184711 | [

Eman Abd El Aty, said to have weighed around 500kg (1,102lb), left an Indian hospital last Thursday after doctors said she lost more than 250kg.
But doctors in UAE say she is suffering from a "cardiac issue" and infected bed sores, apart from her obesity.
Recent weeks saw a row erupt between her doctors in India and her family.
It began when her sister, Shaimaa Selim, released a short video on social media alleging that her sister was still unable to speak or move, and had not lost as much weight as the hospital was claiming. The hospital strongly denied the allegations.
A statement issued by Abu Dhabi's Burjeel Hospital said a multi-disciplinary team of 20 doctors is treating Ms Abd El Aty.
"She is currently facing several health conditions, including a cardiac issue, which is still under intensive investigation; severe urosepsis [a bacterial infection complicating a urinary tract infection]; and third degree infected bed sores."
The statement said the doctors are "currently focused on improving her health condition and ensuring that as part of the hospital's short term goal, Eman is able to sit with minimal to no assistance".
She had arrived in India on a specially-modified Airbus plane in February and was put on a special liquid diet to reduce her weight so that doctors could perform bariatric surgery.
Bariatric surgery, also known as weight loss surgery, is used as a last resort to treat people who are dangerously obese and carrying an excessive amount of body fat.
The two most common types of weight loss surgery are:
Gastric band, where a band is used to reduce the size of the stomach so a smaller amount of food is required to make someone feel full
Gastric bypass, where the digestive system is re-routed past most of the stomach so less food is digested to make someone feel full | An Egyptian woman who was believed to have been the world's heaviest is now being treated for several health conditions at a hospital in Abu Dhabi. | 39841284 | [

The plans, "Project Thor" were put forward by the company two years ago in an attempt to build up the scheme.
At the time, BHS was owned by Sir Philip Green's Arcadia group.
The plans were not implemented and BHS went into administration last month, with a £571m pension scheme hole.
BHS at that time was owned by the little-known consortium Retail Acquisitions which bought it from Sir Philip for £1.
Project Thor was a complicated set of plans, revealed for the first time on Newsnight but planned in 2014.
Among its proposals was giving holders of smaller pensions the chance to have them paid off, as well as changes to contracts with suppliers and an £80m injection from Sir Philip Green, comprised of cash and cancelled loans. Its ambition was to push the BHS scheme nearer to being 100% funded.
Newsnight understands the plans were put forward to the Pensions Regulator for approval, but this was never granted. The plans were eventually withdrawn some months before the sale to Retail Acquisitions.
The project was not mentioned when the Regulator's chief executive, Lesley Titcomb, gave evidence to a joint meeting of the Works and Pensions and Business, Innovation and Skills committees.
The chairman of the Work and Pensions Committee, Frank Field, has now written to Ms Titcomb, asking for her analysis of what Project Thor was, how it was structure and why approval was not granted.
She has also been asked to provide more details of meetings between the regulator and Arcadia during the run-up to the sale of BHS.
During her evidence, Ms Titcomb said that she had first read of the company's sale "in the newspaper", leading to an angry response from Sir Philip Green and a clarification from herself. | MPs investigating the collapse of BHS have written to the Pensions Regulator, demanding more information about plans to restructure the pension scheme - first revealed on the BBC's Newsnight. | 36324714 | [

Suffolk side Needham Market FC were heading to Folkestone when they hit a jam on the M20 in Kent on Saturday.
As reported on the Ryman Football League website, they were approached by a woman who was late for her wedding.
Club secretary Mark Easlea said they wanted to know if she got to the church on time and to congratulate her.

Despite posing for the photo with the bride-to-be - who appeared to be in decent spirits even though her journey to her wedding had been disrupted - it appeared none of the men had asked her what her name was, where she was from or where she was going, Mr Easlea said.
"Everyone had got out of the coach and was sitting at the side of the road in the blistering heat, when she wandered along and said 'Lads, can I have a photo with you on my wedding day?'.
"She was obviously as late as everyone else and we've no idea how long she kept the groom waiting at the altar, but we'd dearly love someone to contact the club and tell us who she is, as we think she brought us luck," he said.
The Ryman Premier League side beat Folkestone Invicta 1-0 when they eventually kicked off an hour later than planned.
The M20 remained partially closed until Sunday after the bridge collapsed on Saturday lunchtime after being hit by a lorry carrying a digger. Two large cranes cleared the debris from the road which is the main route to the Channel Tunnel.
A motorcyclist suffered broken ribs when he threw himself from his bike to avoid hitting the fallen bridge but nobody else was injured. | A football team stranded on a motorway after a bridge collapsed are hunting for a mystery bride who asked to have her photo taken with them. | 37248460 | [

The new boathouse, which will replace the existing building on Foreshore Road, will be home to a new £2m Shannon class lifeboat.
The Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) said building work would begin in autumn and take a year to finish.
Plans were approved by Scarborough Borough Council's planning and development committee.
RNLI divisional operations manager Andrew Ashton said: "We're delighted that the plans have been approved today and this heralds an exciting new era in Scarborough RNLI's rich and long lifesaving history."
The lifeboat station will be funded from various RNLI sources including legacies, donations and fundraising activities.
The Shannon class lifeboat will replace Scarborough's current Mersey class lifeboat in 2016.
John Senior, Scarborough RNLI lifeboat operations manager, said: "While it will be a shame to say a fond farewell to our existing facilities, which have served us admirably over the decades, it's time to look to the future."
Plans for the lifeboat station were approved despite a number of objections from local residents who claimed the building would not "blend in with existing buildings", with one branding it a "monstrosity". | Plans for a new £3m lifeboat station in Scarborough have been approved by the town's council. | 27818549 | [

Ross Thomson and Graham Simpson filled in a giant ballot paper outside Holyrood to underline their support for the Vote Leave campaign.
Fellow Tory MSP Margaret Mitchell also backs Brexit, but party leader Ruth Davidson is in favour of remaining in.
Meanwhile, the Scottish remain campaign highlighted how much research funding universities receive from the EU.
Campaigning outside the Scottish Parliament alongside Scottish Vote Leave director and former Labour MP Tom Harris, the two newly-elected MSPs underlined their support for Brexit.
Mr Thomson said that with moves towards further centralisation, "Europe is going in a direction that Britain can't follow".
He said: "I think if we had a Europe where there was real reform and was focused again on our trading relationship, that's something I could have supported. But I just feel that at the moment, the direction of travel in the EU is about further political centralisation, further political union.
"I've always been fairly Eurosceptic, but when the Prime Minister said he was going to have a referendum and get a better deal it was something I was really keen on, and in fairness to him he put a Herculean effort in.
"But I'm concerned that there's no treaty change. I'm concerned that heads of state are temporary - if the German chancellor loses an election or isn't returned, and the same with the other heads of state, that negotiation we've achieved isn't long-term."
Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson has voiced support for the UK remaining in the EU, but Mr Thomson said she was "really relaxed" about her MSPs taking the opposite view.
He added: "She said, 'I've made a personal decision based on my experience - I want to stay in but I respect that you and others will make their own personal decision'.
"Ruth is really relaxed, saying we're going to have a grown-up, adult debate about the facts and our visions for the future, and I look forward to engaging in that properly."
Meanwhile, the Scotland Stronger in Europe campaign have been highlighting the contribution the EU makes to university research funding.
Writing in the Herald newspaper, Glasgow University principal Prof Anton Muscatelli said there was "unequivocal" evidence that "universities in Scotland and the UK benefit massively from our membership of the EU".
He said: "Scotland's universities receive £88.8m a year from EU sources, which is about 13% of our total research funding.
"This includes research to fight malaria, research on space, and vital medical research which benefits us all."
Dundee University principal Prof Pete Downes has also warned of an impact on funding from Brexit, saying universities would be "impoverished" by a vote to leave the EU.
Scotland Stronger in Europe spokesman John Edward said: "Being in the EU is clearly fundamental to pan-European academic collaborations and the success of Scotland's universities, which in turn underpins jobs and investment." | Two new Conservative MSPs have joined the campaign for the UK to leave the European Union. | 36323234 | [

Howe, nicknamed "Mr Hockey", spent most of his career with the Detroit Red Wings, winning the Stanley Cup four times.
He was in the top 10 of scorers for 21 consecutive years and was named MVP six times, before finally retiring in 1980.
Howe was also named an NHL All Star 23 times and was inducted into the hockey Hall of Fame in 1972.
Gordie Howe died just before 08:00 on Friday at his son's home in Ohio, according to Sportsnet and CBS News. CNN reported his son Marty as confirming the news.
Gordie Howe had suffered a stroke in 2014.
He made his debut in 1946, played 26 NHL and six World Hockey Association seasons and held many of the scoring records until the rise of fellow Canadian-born legend Wayne Gretzky.
Howe retired in 1971 but made a comeback with the Hartford Whalers in 1979-80 before finally quitting at 52. | The legendary Canadian ice hockey player, Gordie Howe, has died at the age of 88, US media say. | 36501217 | [

The 54-year-old has spent seven years overseeing the Premier League side's youth set-up, and has a full Uefa coaching A licence.
"The time was right for me to look for a fresh challenge and I am joining one of the world's truly great football clubs," Allen said.
"Steeped in history and tradition, I am honoured to join Rangers."
Allen, who begins his new role next month, started his career as a youth player with Swindon Town before moving to San Diego to take up a football scholarship and business and accounting degree.
After returning to the UK, he attained the position of managing director of MTV's broadcast division in London during a 13-year spell with the global music corporation.
Rangers managing director Stewart Robertson added: "We are delighted Mark has agreed to move to Glasgow and become our new director of football.
"He is a man of vision who has achieved great success with Manchester City's Academy. He has excellent contacts in football but also the business world and he will be a great asset to Rangers.
"We said we would not rush into an appointment as we wanted the right candidate and we feel Mark is the best man for the job. We look forward to working with him closely in the years ahead in what will be an important role at the club."
Manchester City director of football Txiki Begiristan said: "Mark has made a significant impact at Manchester City over the years, and he leaves us with our best wishes for the future." | Rangers have named Manchester City academy director Mark Allen as the club's director of football. | 40345501 | [

The US says there has already been a decrease in violence in the city, where dozens have died in clashes this week.
The Syrian military said it would abide by a 48-hour ceasefire starting from 01:00 Thursday (22:01 GMT Wednesday).
The US and Russia brokered a nationwide cessation of hostilities in February but it has come under severe strain.
The agreement does not include so-called Islamic State nor the al-Qaeda-affiliated Nusra Front.
US Secretary of State John Kerry welcomed the new agreement.
"We expect all of the parties to the cessation of hostilities to fully abide by the cessation in Aleppo. That means the regime and the opposition alike," he said.
US state department spokesman Mark Toner said the cessation of hostilities had actually started early on Wednesday, adding: "There has been a decrease in the fighting, in the violence... specifically in Aleppo, but it has not been, of course, complete."
UN envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura said a failure of the overall cessation of hostilities would be "catastrophic" and could see 400,000 more people heading for refuge at the Turkey border.
The fighting in Aleppo early this week has been the most intense there for more than a year.
Dozens of people were reported to have been killed in fierce clashes, with almost 300 dead over the past two weeks.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said rebels advanced into government-held western districts on Tuesday night but were pushed back by Wednesday morning.
A coalition of rebel groups fighting under the name "Fatah Halab" (Aleppo Conquest) launched the assault on the government's defensive lines in the west of the city on Tuesday by detonating a tunnel bomb, the AFP news agency reported.
Intense gun battles, air strikes and artillery attacks went on through Tuesday night.
UN humanitarian adviser Jan Egeland complained later on Wednesday that the government was still refusing to allow aid deliveries to hundreds of thousands of people in besieged areas of Syria, including rebel-held eastern Aleppo.
Russia meanwhile said it had withdrawn about 30 aircraft from its airbase in Syria.
The Russian military began the withdrawal of most of its forces from Syria in March, six months after launching an air campaign to bolster President Bashar al-Assad. | A partial, shaky truce between Syria and non-jihadist rebels has been extended to the embattled city of Aleppo, after US and Russian pressure. | 36209140 | [

Pernod Ricard, which is based in France, is the second biggest distiller of Scotch after Diageo.
Its brands include Chivas, The Glenlivet and Ballentine's.
However, the distiller reported that Jameson's, the biggest-selling Irish whiskey, continued to be the star performer among its premium brands.
American sales of the Cork-distilled whiskey were up more than 10%.
In its update for investors, the drinks company reported total sales rose 3% in the first three months of 2017, and the detail gave some pointers to the market for whisky and other drinks around the world.
Pernod Ricard reported the Chinese market "remains challenging for Scotch", while there were more positive sales figures for Martell brandy.
Imported spirits have been held back in China by official disapproval of conspicuous business hospitality and gifts. Bar and restaurant sales were reported to remain in decline.
The company said Korean sales continue a "strong decline" across its brands.
It also reported on the disruptive effect in India of the government removing large amounts of the nation's paper money from circulation, and a new law that will forbid the sale of alcohol close to highways.
In Latin America, which has been a strong growth area for Scotch exports, Brazilian sales were weaker due to prolonged recession. But sales across the Pernod Ricard brands were strongly up in other countries, led by Colombia, Argentina, Uruguay and Cuba.
The UK market was described as resilient and "dynamic", because its products were being imported ahead of price increases in March, linked to the weakening of sterling. Among the stronger performers were Absolut vodka and Jameson's.
With its full year results for 2015-16, Pernod Ricard reported Jameson's global sales were up 12% by volume and 16% by value.
In Scotch whisky, Ballentine's rose 5% by volume over the year, while Chivas was down 5% and Glenlivet single malt by 2%.
Another French company with a stake in Scotch whisky, Remy-Martin, this week reported that its sales of "Progressive Hebridean" spirits, including Bruichladdich and The Botanist gin, rose by more than 10% in the year to March. | One of the biggest Scotch whisky distillers has seen faster growth in sales of its Irish whiskey brand, according to new figures. | 39665956 | [

"You're not wanted any more" rang around Cherry Red Records Stadium in Kingston as the home supporters put their own twist on Gerrard's decision to decline a new Liverpool contract and move to the United States next summer.
Liverpool's followers were only too happy to offer the conflicting view - and no wonder after their 34-year-old captain once again dragged them out of hazardous terrain to safety almost single-handed with both goals in this 2-1 FA Cup third round win.
If Gerrard needed - not that he does - to build a monument to what Liverpool will miss when he goes, this was the perfect template and left the questions hanging in the air.
Gerrard's departure next May has been presented by Liverpool and the player himself as the right time for the parting of the ways. This iconic captain's future would have been carefully managed had he stayed another year, with his number of performances inevitably reduced.
It seems Gerrard does not want, or indeed deserve, to close out his magnificent career with a lengthy spell of bench-warming.
It is tempting to use every significant Gerrard intervention as part of the case for the prosecution to accuse Liverpool of failing to do enough to keep him - and even this superb performance should be placed in the context that it was with a middling League Two team in opposition.
And would he be able to sustain this level of performance and energy, especially in a more advanced role, on a weekly basis in the Premier League into next season? Valid questions but questions Liverpool's fans were prepared to set to one side on Monday.
Even now, with the credits rolling on his Liverpool career, they still have no-one like Gerrard who can give them hope when it seems lost, such as against FC Basel with his late free-kick on the night they went out of the Champions League, or here against AFC Wimbledon, when he produced yet again when matters were starting to look extremely difficult.
Jordan Henderson is Gerrard's successor-in-waiting as Liverpool captain but does not yet come within light years of the impact the current incumbent has either on the field or off.
He is still a developing player and personality so it is actually a tough comparison, but how can he, or indeed anyone else, follow Gerrard as a leader in battle, a figure afforded total respect (perhaps even fear when it comes to opponents) off the field or as a symbol for the fans?
Whether Liverpool like it or not, this debate will run and run until the day Gerrard walks out of Anfield for the final time and perhaps even beyond - it was certainly raging on Monday night.
Gerrard's former Liverpool team-mate Jamie Carragher, who feels aggrieved that the midfielder has somehow been allowed to drift away from Anfield, tweeted on his @Carra23 account: "If Gerrard was one of the new signings at 24 we'd be raving about him but we judge him at 34 against himself at his peak."
Carragher had earlier tweeted: "Liverpool struggled for goals this season. Their top scorer is going to the MLS next season!"
Even QPR striker Charlie Austin tweeted: "How can Liverpool let this man go?"
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers was the subject of lavish praise in Gerrard's abdication speech, with the player saying he wished he had worked under the manager a decade ago, but there is no doubt there will be questions for the club's owners and executive staff every time he affects events as he did against AFC Wimbledon.
Gerrard's former Liverpool team-mate and room-mate Danny Murphy told BBC Sport on Match of the Day: "Liverpool are very fortunate they've got Steven Gerrard as his two bits of quality have been the difference between the sides and not much else."
And Alan Shearer added: "There was one guy who dragged Liverpool through by the scruff of the neck. How many times have we said this over the years? It was his performance, his goals, his work-rate, his effort."
Shearer also drew the parallel with Chelsea's decision to let Frank Lampard go, only to see him turn up at Manchester City as a danger to his old club's Premier League title chances.
Gerrard has made it clear he will never play against Liverpool but Shearer added: "I just wonder whether Chelsea look at the Frank Lampard situation and just wish that they hadn't let him go. I wonder if Liverpool will do the same."
The bottom line is that no matter how much Liverpool look to the future, the player and inspiration they still rely on is Steven Gerrard. For that overall impact on games, his colleagues and his club, he will be impossible to replace.
Liverpool's debt to Gerrard was placed in even sharper relief by the fact it allowed them to secure an FA Cup fourth round tie at home to Bolton Wanderers despite seeing the usual fault lines exposed by AFC Wimbledon.
After Gerrard put Liverpool ahead in the 12th minute, there was a period of relative calm as Neil Ardley's side were subdued and the Premier League giants looked in control.
It did not last long as Liverpool's defence came under pressure and, as it has done so often this season, almost instantly looked incapable of coping.
Sean Rigg had already missed one good chance before he forced a save from Simon Mignolet and it was alarming to see how a routine kick from AFC Wimbledon goalkeeper James Shea created various degrees of panic and a chance that Matt Tubbs wasted.
Wimbledon's equaliser from Adebayo Akinfenwa was Liverpool's defence in microcosm. Mignolet flapped hopelessly at George Francomb's corner under pressure, Mamadou Sakho bundled the ball against his own bar and amid the carnage Akinfenwa reacted first.
Mignolet, only restored in goal because of an injury to his journeyman deputy Brad Jones, was taunted throughout by AFC Wimbledon fans well-versed in his problems with the ball at his feet.
If Liverpool could get their hands on a goalkeeper of quality as a long-term replacement for Mignolet this month surely they will, although it could prove easier said than done. Mignolet may have to do for this season but not beyond.
Rodgers works on defensive organisation and is certainly too skilled and confident a coach to bring in an outsider to assist with defence, but that vulnerability must remain a concern.
As he pointed out when Arsenal scored at Anfield recently, it is not a matter of coaching or organisation when three one-on-one headers are lost in Liverpool's own penalty area. The current players simply need to be better - or replaced by better players.
Much was made of the memories of the original Wimbledon FC's FA Cup Final win against Liverpool at Wembley in 1988 as the sub-plot to this occasion - and it was right that two of the real heroes of that day and the old "Crazy Gang" were on hand for this tie in the shape of goalkeeper and captain Dave Beasant and goalscorer Lawrie Sanchez.
This, though, is a different time and a different era - as well as a different club for the fans who have helped the rebirth of AFC Wimbledon after they started the long road back in the Combined Counties League in 2002 before going through five promotions and a return to the Football League in 2011.
And this FA Cup night was a credit to the way this club has been reshaped and the passion of those loyal fans. Neil Ardley's team were honest, committed and did themselves and AFC Wimbledon proud on their big night.
There are still further steps for AFC Wimbledon to take, perhaps even back to their old Plough Lane home, but for now this is a good news story for everyone involved.
The FA Cup provides tales to tell for all involved - not just for clubs but for the media following the progress of this wonderful competition.
Sunday's tie between Yeovil Town and Manchester United involved a temporary home in the front row of The Screwfix Community Stand, where you could almost reach out and touch the action at ground level.
Cut to Cherry Red Records Stadium a short walk from Norbiton Station 24 hours later and home was a specially built overflow press box in a corner of the stadium, access gained by climbing a rather shaky ladder.
All good fun - especially for the unsporting AFC Wimbledon fans who subjected Her Majesty's Media to (to put it politely) to catcalls as they made an inelegant exit down the ladder before leaving to hear from Neal Ardley and Brendan Rodgers.
The chants of 'You don't know what you're doing" were not entirely inaccurate but given (and taken) in good part.
The FA Cup third round is still one of the great dates in English football's calendar - and anyone wishing to argue against that could not have been present at Yeovil or AFC Wimbledon. | When Steven Gerrard suffered a rare blemish in the middle of his latest masterclass, AFC Wimbledon's fans pounced on the topic that will dominate Liverpool's agenda between now and the day he takes his leave. | 30691946 | [

The Tiangong-1 or "Heavenly Palace" laboratory was launched in 2011 as part of an ambitious Chinese plan to catch up with other space powers.
However, a senior space official has said the lab had "comprehensively fulfilled its historical mission".
The lab is currently intact and orbiting at 370km above ground.
Speaking at a press conference last week, Wu Ping, deputy director of the manned space engineering office, said: "Based on our calculation and analysis, most parts of the space lab will burn up during falling."
She added that it was unlikely to affect aviation activities or cause damage to the ground.
But in comments reported by the Guardian newspaper, Dr Jonathan McDowell, an astrophysicist at Harvard University, suggested China might have lost control of the station.
"You really can't steer these things," he said. "Even a couple of days before it re-enters we probably won't know better than six or seven hours, plus or minus, when it's going to come down.
"Not knowing when it's going to come down translates as not knowing where its going to come down."
Most of the 8.5-tonne station would melt as it passed through the atmosphere, Dr McDowell commented, but some parts such as the rocket engines, were so dense they might not burn up completely.
Earlier this month, China launched its second trial space station, called Tiangong-2, in a bid to operate a crewed outpost in orbit by 2022. | China's first space station is expected to fall back to Earth in the second half of 2017, amid speculation authorities have lost control of it. | 37431478 | [

About 250,000 people have used the free service so far, said its creator, Joshua Browder.
The Do Not Pay bot currently works in the UK and New York in the US. It asks a series of questions to determine the validity of a penalty notice.
It can also be used to work out compensation for delayed flights.
Mr Browder told the BBC he hoped it proved bots could be useful.
"Bots are a huge opportunity for public service," he said.
"I'm very surprised it has been so successful, but I am not surprised that so many people have pushed back against their parking tickets."
Of the 160,000 successful challenges, 9,000 were from New York, where the bot launched in March 2016, reports Venture Beat.
Mr Browder was inspired to build the bot, which he describes as "the world's first robot lawyer", after receiving "countless" parking tickets himself.
It took him three months to program.
The Stanford University student is currently building a new bot aimed at helping Syrian refugees by producing English documents based on Arabic text.
However, Abhi Chirimar, the chief executive of online mental health community Instawell, said that in his experience there was no chatbot "silver bullet" for companies offering digital services across more than one platform.
"Service developers need to be mindful of the pros and cons when designing chatbots," he said.
"Chatbots need tactical conversation design to ensure that the average person feels comfortable throughout the process.
"We realised early on that there isn't an easy 'silver-bullet' for our chatbot.
"Now, a Facebook user and a Slack user are served up different chatbots for the same goal - get the right kind of help." | A chatbot programmed by a British teenager has successfully challenged 160,000 parking tickets since its launch last year. | 36650317 | [

Twenty hostages, most of them foreign, were killed when Islamist militants stormed a cafe in the capital, Dhaka.
Two police officers also died and 30 were injured. After a 12-hour siege, commandos rescued 13 people.
The so-called Islamic State (IS) group said it was behind the attack but the government has denied this.
Bangladesh's home minister said on Sunday that the attackers belonged to a local militant group which has been banned for more than a decade.
"They are members of the Jamaeytul Mujahdeen Bangladesh (JMB)," Asaduzzaman Khan said. "They have no connections with the Islamic State."
Mr Khan said the men made no demands during the attack.
He said three of the gunmen were under 22 and had been missing for six months.
Police chief Shahidul Hoque made some of the men's first names public: Akash, Bikash, Don, Bandhon and Ripon.
Bangladesh at crossroads as violence hits
Is extremism on the rise in Bangladesh?
Six attackers were killed in the raid on the Holey Artisan cafe in the Gulshan neighbourhood. A seventh man was arrested and is still being questioned. It is not yet clear what involvement he had in the attack.
IS had earlier released photographs of the alleged attackers posing in front of a black IS flag.
The men were said to belong to well-to-do local families. They studied in private schools and universities, not in Islamic seminaries or madrassas, where many Islamist militant groups are thought to draw recruits.
Social media has been buzzing with former classmates who have recognised some of the attackers from their pictures, says the BBC's Sanjoy Majumder in Dhaka.
Bangladesh has declared two days of national mourning.
Nine Italians, seven Japanese, one US citizen and an Indian were among the dead. One Italian is unaccounted for.
The JMB group has been blamed for a wave of small-scale terrorism attacks in Bangladesh over the past year, including the killings of secular bloggers, atheists and an LGBT rights campaigner.
Its top two leaders were arrested and executed in 2008, after near-simultaneous bomb attacks in all the country's 64 districts.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has consistently denied that IS has made inroads in to Bangladesh.
Nine Italians named by the Italian foreign ministry as: Cristian Rossi; Marco Tondat; Nadia Benedetti; Adele Puglisi; Simona Monti; Claudia Maria D'Antona; Vincenzo D'Allestro; Maria Rivoli and Claudio Cappelli
Seven Japanese Five men and two women, four of whose names have been released by Japanese officials: Koyo Ogasawara, Makoto Okamura, Yuko Sakai and Rui Shimodaira
Four Bangladeshis Two were named in national media as Faraaz Ayaaz Hossai, a student at Emory University in the US, and Ishrat Akhond - the other two were policemen
US citizen Abinta Kabir, also a student at Emory University
One Indian Tarishi Jain, 18, who was a student at the University of California, Berkeley

There are 56 cases involving 97 deaths.
They include killings by police officers and soldiers, and others where there are allegations of state collusion.
As the review got under way in Belfast, the time taken by police to security-vet and disclose classified case files was repeatedly highlighted as an obstacle in the way of progress.
Twenty-two of the cases are more than 40 years old.
Lord Justice Weir, the presiding judge of the Coroners' Service, is spending the next two weeks conducting preliminary hearings to assess the state of readiness of each case.
Families of those who were killed and their legal teams have been asked to inform the court of the issues which are outstanding in each of the cases.
The stalled inquests into the Army shootings of 10 people in Ballymurphy, west Belfast, in 1971, and of five more civilians in nearby Springhill a year later, were examined on the opening day in Laganside Courts.
The cases focusing on nine deaths linked to the Royal Ulster Constabulary's (RUC) alleged "shoot to kill" policy in the 1980s were also assessed.
A barrister for families of two INLA members shot dead by the RUC in 1982 - Seamus Grew and Roddy Carroll - criticised police after they said disclosure could not be completed ahead of a proposed September 2017 inquest date.
A Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) representative told the court at least another year would be required.
The barrister for the Grew and Carroll families accused the police of failing to honour a series of similar disclosure commitments since the cases were re-opened in 2007.
"Obviously there is the suspicion within the families that the PSNI have been dragging their heels over disclosure in order to protect the RUC," he said.
"They are fighting a rearguard action on behalf of the RUC, which they have done successfully to date."
Ahead of the review, a senior police officer said the disclosure delays were due to the huge pressures being placed upon the PSNI's Legacy Support Unit (LSU).
Dep Ch Const Drew Harris said attempting to run the 56 inquests at the same time, rather than sequencing them in order, resulted in the LSU continually jumping from one case to the other.
When the review is completed, a coroner will be appointed to hear inquests identified as ready to proceed.
In the others, relevant parties will be instructed to provide any outstanding material needed for an inquest to take place.
Some of the hearings are expected to take place later this year.
The most complex and controversial ones are likely to be heard by a High Court judge, while others will be heard by a County Court judge.
Justice Minister David Ford last year authorised the Northern Ireland Courts and Tribunals Service to recruit "investigative support" for coroners dealing with the legacy inquests.
The review was announced by Lord Chief Justice Sir Declan Morgan in October, a month before he was appointed president of the Coroners' Courts.
Sir Declan said he wanted to assure the families of those who were killed that he was "fully committed to doing all that I can, within my sphere of influence and with the resources at my disposal, to ensure that justice is delivered".
But he also warned that it could be "many years" before most of the cases could be dealt with.
Only nine legacy cases have been disposed of during the past five years, and 13 cases in total in the past 10 years.
In November 2014, Sir Declan warned that inquests into deaths involving alleged state collusion and cover-up could go on until 2040 unless the coronial inquests system was changed. | A major review of inquests into some of the most controversial killings during the Troubles got under way on Monday. | 35327073 | [

Lachie Stewart, 30, from Easter Ross, was thought to have been travelling to Delhi when he lost touch with his family earlier this month.
However, a Facebook page set up as part of efforts to find him, said he had been found on Saturday.
Mr Stewart had been working on a contract in Bhogpur in India before his disappearance.
His family and friends had made contact with the Foreign Office after becoming increasingly concerned when he failed to make contact by his birthday on Thursday.
Details about his whereabouts have not been released. | A Scottish architect who had been reported missing in India is understood to have been found. | 38353702 | [

The Online Hate Crime Hub is made up of five specially trained Met police officers who will try to identify, prevent and investigate online abuse.
Sadiq Khan said officers would "work with community experts to develop the police's understanding of online hate".
It is the first hub of its kind in the UK and will cost £1.7m over two years.
It is being funded by the Met and the Mayor's Office for Policing And Crime (MOPAC), with £452,000 also being contributed by the Home Office Police Innovation Fund.
Any online hate crimes reported to police in the capital, including abuse posted on Twitter and Facebook, will be looked into by the unit.
Officers will provide referrals to victim support groups and work with police in relevant boroughs to investigate.
City Hall said discussions were also under way with social media companies "to develop appropriate online sanctions for perpetrators of online hate".
Victoria Wright, a disability and disfigurement rights campaigner in London, who has been subjected to online abuse, called the hub "a much needed initiative that will make a real difference".
"It's vital that those of us who are victims of online hate crime receive a robust response from the police," she said. | A police unit to help tackle online hate crime and provide better support for victims in London has been launched by the capital's mayor. | 39692811 | [

It comes amid reports of several race-related incidents over the weekend.
"Racist" graffiti was found scrawled on a Polish cultural centre in Hammersmith, west London, the Met said.
London Mayor Sadiq Khan said he had asked Scotland Yard to be "extra vigilant" following the reports.
The Polish ambassador to Britain Witold Sobkow expressed shock at what he called incidents of "xenophobic abuse" directed against the Polish community.
He said: "The Polish Embassy is in contact with relevant institutions and local police are already investigating the two most widely reported cases in Hammersmith, London, and Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire.
"We call on all Polish nationals who fall victim of xenophobic abuse and on all witnesses to report such incidents to local authorities."
He also thanked the British public for messages of support and solidarity the Polish community had received.
Police are investigating the vandalism at Hammersmith's Polish community building after images on social media appeared to show offensive graffiti smeared in yellow paint across the entrance. It was later removed.
Cambridgeshire Police are also investigating suspected post-referendum racism after notes were allegedly posted through letterboxes of Polish residents in the county.
Laminated cards reading "leave the EU - no more Polish vermin" were reportedly delivered to members of the Polish community in Huntingdon, north west of Cambridge, on Saturday.
Other incidents were also reported on social media, while a hashtag of #PostRefRacism was being used on Twitter.
Sky News journalist Adam Boulton tweeted: "This weekend I and my family have witnessed 3 "when are you going home?" Racist incidents aimed at EU citizens here."
Another user, James Titcombe, tweeted: "Daughter tells me someone wrote '[Child's name] go back to Romania' on the wall in the girls toilets at School today".
And former Conservative party deputy chairwoman Baroness Warsi also tweeted a string of reports of racist incidents, saying: "This is not the post Brexit Britain we want to see. Politicians from all sides need to speak out "
The Muslim Council of Britain said there had been countless incidents reported in the days since the referendum result as well as shocking manifestations of hate speech both online and also on the streets of Britain.
They included a demonstration outside a Birmingham mosque and reports of Muslims and others being told to "go back home", it said.
It called on political and civic leaders to urgently come together and heal the divisions that had emerged as a result of the referendum campaign.
Dr. Shuja Shafi, secretary general of the Muslim Council of Britain, said: "Now we are witnessing the shocking extent of this with reports around the country of hate speech and minorities being targeted. We need leadership now more than ever before."
Mr Khan echoed those sentiments calling on "all Londoners to pull together and rally behind this great city."
He said: "I take seriously my responsibility to defend London's fantastic mix of diversity and tolerance. So it's really important we stand guard against any rise in hate crimes or abuse by those who might use last week's referendum as cover to seek to divide us." | The Metropolitan Police are on heightened alert for a rise in hate crime following the European referendum result. | 36642047 | [

The amnesty would have applied to offences committed during the political turmoil after Thailand's 2006 coup, which ousted Mr Thaksin.
The bill's passage in the lower house triggered large street protests.
And on Monday, as the bill went to the Senate, tens of thousands of protesters took to the streets of Bangkok.
Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra - who is Mr Thaksin's sister - has promised to respect the Senate's decision.
The bill, which was proposed by the governing Pheu Thai party, applied to offences committed during the upheaval after Mr Thaksin was removed from office.
Ms Yingluck's government had argued that the legislation was a necessary step towards reconciliation, after several years of political turmoil.
This turmoil included the occupation of Bangkok's main airport in 2008 and then two months of street protests in Bangkok in 2010 that left about 90 people - mostly civilian protesters - dead.
But critics said it would allow human rights abuses - such as the killing of civilian protesters - to go unpunished.
The main opposition Democrat Party also believed it was aimed at allowing Mr Thaksin to return to Thailand without having to serve a jail sentence.
Mr Thaksin has been in self-imposed exile since his conviction on corruption charges over a property deal. He argues the charges are politically motivated.
The lower house backed the bill, despite an opposition boycott. But as protests gathered strength, the governing party withdrew its support from the bill and all 141 senators present voted against it.
"This house rejects this bill for consideration," said Deputy Senate Speaker Surachai Lengboonlertchai.
As tens of thousands of anti-government protesters remained on the streets in parts of Bangkok on Monday night, a spokesperson for the Pheu Thai party said the governing coalition would not bring the amnesty bill back to parliament.
"We believe from tomorrow the political crisis will start to ease as there are no reasons to maintain the protest," said Pormpong Nopparit.
But the opposition has urged its supporters to observe a three-day national strike, beginning on Wednesday, in what correspondents say has turned into a campaign to bring down the government.
Former leader Thaksin Shinawatra is a deeply polarising figure in Thai politics.
He drew huge support from Thailand's rural poor but strong opposition from other sectors in society, and the divisions dating from the 2006 coup continue to dominate the political landscape. | Thailand's Senate has rejected a controversial amnesty bill that could have led to the return of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra. | 24903958 | [

Thomas Orchard, 32, died in October 2012 after being arrested in Exeter.
But Bristol Crown Court heard custody sergeant Jan Kingshott, 44, "did his best" despite the outcome.
Mr Kingshott and civilian detention officers Simon Tansley, 38, and Michael Marsden, 55, all deny manslaughter.
Patrick Gibbs, for the defence, said: "What Mr Kingshott did was straightforward and professional and, in almost every respect, standard procedure.
"You will not find any anger, any sudden movement or over-reaction at Mr Orchard's behaviour, or any brutality.
"What you will find is force. We need to be straight with ourselves about the practical realities of force."
Mr Gibbs described Mr Orchard - who had schizophrenia - as "angry and aggressive" when he arrived at the custody centre.
Mr Gibbs said: "It was not Mr Orchard's fault that he was behaving the way he was behaving. Mr Orchard was not at fault but it doesn't mean force was unnecessary.
"It was not obviously unnecessary to look to the equipment which they had been given and had been trained to use."
Church caretaker Mr Orchard was handcuffed, held down and had an emergency response belt put across his face to restrain him, the court previously heard.
Mr Gibbs said: "Mr Kingshott does not pretend that everything was perfect or there is nothing that could have been improved.
"But he is not a computer. What he did not know was how this would turn out."
He told the court Mr Kingshott "did his best" and "he was a good custody sergeant, a decent person and a good witness".
Mr Orchard was pronounced dead seven days after the incident in hospital.

Environment Minister Mark H Durkan said drilling could have a significant impact on the environment.
Tamboran Resources wanted to drill a 750m deep hole at a quarry at Belcoo, using permitted development rights.
It issued a statement saying it was "deeply concerned" by the minister's decision.
By John CampbellBBC News NI Economics & Business Editor
Tamboran had intended to drill using "permitted development rights", which meant the firm would not have needed to apply for planning permission.
The minister could only veto this if he assessed that work was likely to have "a significant environmental impact".
And that is exactly the position he has arrived at.
Tamboran will now have to make a full planning application with an accompanying environmental statement, a process that will, conservatively, take months to complete.
But it does not mean the borehole will not eventually be drilled.
Alternatively, Tamboran may want to try to get a judicial review of the decision, arguing that the minister has not interpreted the planning regulations correctly.
"The company is currently reviewing its position and will release a further statement in due course," Tamboran said.
Tamboran will now have to make a full planning application with an accompanying environmental statement.
On Monday night, protesters held an ecumenical service at the gates of the quarry to celebrate the minister's decision.
Donal O'Cofaigh from Belcoo Frack Free welcomed the decision and said it could delay the project considerably.
"It's a great relief, the minister has made the right decision," he told the BBC.
"This is the first time that we are going to have the opportunity to be consulted on that. This is something that is of grave concern to the local community."
The MP for the area, Michelle Gildernew of Sinn Féin, also welcomed the announcement.
"The decision to deny Tamboran to begin deep bore test drilling in Belcoo, Fermanagh, is the correct decision given the clear opposition to fracking in the area," she said.
Tamboran staff moved into the quarry three weeks ago and carried out work to secure the site.
Protesters objecting to both fracking and gas exploration had held a permanent vigil at the quarry.
The aim of the borehole was to check if there was enough gas below ground to warrant seeking a licence to set up a fracking operation.
Protesters said they feared a borehole could be the first step towards the setting up of an industry that they believe could damage the environment and the health of local residents.
The borehole drilling process would not have involved fracking.
Currently, Sinn Féin, the SDLP and UUP say they oppose fracking, while the DUP has said exploration should take place, and any application for extraction should be judged at the time.
Last week, politicians condemned a petrol bomb attack that targeted the family home of a Tamboran worker in Letterbreen. | Anti-fracking protesters have been celebrating a decision to block permission for an exploratory borehole for shale gas in County Fermanagh. | 28749503 | [

They have remained flat due to rising inflation and fuel prices, according to Asda's Income Tracker.
It says NI families have £105 a week discretionary income, the lowest of any UK region and well below the UK average of £202 a week.
Sterling has weakened since the EU referendum, pushing inflation to 1.6%, the highest level since July 2014.
The report says rising oil prices, higher inflation and a weakened pound have slowed spending power growth.
Families are £7 a week better off than this time last year, despite rising prices at the pumps.
The price of fuel is 10% higher than this time last year, NI households spend £28.90 a week on petrol compared to the UK average of £19.90 a week.
Food prices in December were 0.8% higher than in November, but cheaper than this time last year.
December also saw an increase in the cost of restaurants and hotels.
But electricity and gas prices helped keep household bills down.
Low interest rates mean mortgage interest payments were 6% cheaper year on year.
An Asda spokesperson said: "As we begin 2017, it is clear to see that prices are at the top of customers' minds, across a range of different categories."
Kay Neufeld, an economist with the Centre for Economics and Business research, said: "The question in 2017 will be whether wage growth can keep up with rising inflation.
"Early indicators suggest that the over the coming months - an increase in unemployment and lower wage growth are on the cards potentially putting a dent in households' spending power," she added. | Disposable incomes in Northern Ireland are nearly half the UK average, new figures suggest. | 38746308 | [

In Wayne Bennett's first competitive game in charge, England were pipped by one point to fall to defeat at Huddersfield's John Smith's Stadium.
The 17-16 loss, along with Australia's win over Scotland put hopes of reaching the final in doubt, although there are still two matches to play.
"It's only the first game of the tournament," the 28-year-old said.
"If we dwell on the bad things we won't do very well. We have to look at the positives, we have the right man in charge [in Bennett].
"This will take a day or two to get over, we have to focus, we did a lot of good things and we need to take that into next week."
One positive of Saturday's loss was the continuation of the Leeds Rhinos man's terrific scoring record, crossing for his 29th international try in 29 games.
Hall has the opportunity to take his tally to 30, five more than Sam Tomkins and extend his lead as the top scorer in England Test history.
"Its bittersweet," Hall added to BBC Sport. "It was a great assist from Gareth Widdop, but ultimately the bigger picture stuff, that we lost the game is hard to take.
"It's fine margins, that's Test match rugby and the most disappointing thing is that we had enough to win the game."

Charlie Austin's sixth-minute penalty appeared to have Saints in control, with Hull offering little in the way of an attacking threat.
The hosts also lost starting strikers Abel Hernandez and Will Keane to first-half injuries to compound the frustration of their fans, but the mood inside the KCOM Stadium was transformed in the space of two second-half minutes.
First, Snodgrass - introduced from the bench for the stricken Keane - swept home his fourth league goal of the season from Sam Clucas' low cross before the Scotland international delivered an inviting free-kick that Michael Dawson headed past Fraser Forster.
Southampton pushed for an equaliser but David Marshall made a string of saves in the Hull goal before Clucas produced a remarkable goalline clearance from a corner in the final minute of added time.
The win - Hull's first in the league since 20 August - ends a six-game losing streak, although they remain inside the bottom three heading into the international break.

The best that could be said for the early loss of Hull's strikers was that it gave an opportunity for Snodgrass to return earlier than expected after missing the past two matches with an ankle injury.
But his entrance from the bench following Keane's injury midway through the first half did not appear to be asking too much of the Tigers' top scorer - far from it.
Instantly the hosts appeared to have greater urgency with the 29-year-old on the pitch, having looked sluggish and uninspired for 26 minutes before his introduction.
The mood inside the stadium at kick-off was exactly what could be expected of a club bidding to avoid a seventh straight league defeat for the first time in 36 years.
That run of defeats - during which 20 goals had been shipped - allied to widespread unhappiness among fans over the Allam family's running of the club meant the KCOM Stadium had a threadbare look at kick-off, with an official attendance of just 17,768.
Empty seats dotted a ground that used to be filled to the rafters in the second and third tiers, and the dark mood of many home fans in attendance cannot have been lost on the players.
Yet Snodgrass' tireless running lifted not only the fans but his team-mates, and his well-taken 61st-minute goal followed moments later by a perfect assist for Dawson was just reward for his endeavour.
Southampton celebrated one of the most famous wins in their history by beating Inter Milan in the Europa League on Thursday, and a Hull side low on confidence did not look like dampening their mood in the opening exchanges.
Austin's early penalty - an easy decision for referee Graham Scott after Curtis Davies' clumsy challenge on Maya Yoshida - had the visitors in cruise control, with Hull allowing them time and space to pass the ball around, albeit with little cutting edge.
Virgil van Dijk's looping header off the bar early in the second half was as close as they came to doubling their lead, and that apparent lack of urgency came back to bite them when Hull struck their quick-fire double just after the hour mark.
That was the spark for Claude Puel's men to push forward with greater urgency, but in former Cardiff goalkeeper Marshall they found someone in determined mood after a miserable start to life between the sticks in East Yorkshire.
The Scotland international - whose elevation to number one ahead of Eldin Jakupovic coincided with Hull's slump in form - twice saved well from Austin as time ticked down, and also kept out a Yoshida effort.
Dawson then came to the rescue to heroically block from Austin, before Clucas produced a stunning goalline clearance deep in added time, the winger hacking the ball off the line, against Jay Rodriguez and somehow over the bar.
Hull City boss Mike Phelan, speaking to Match of the Day: "I'm really pleased for my players. We lost two players early in the game to what look like long injuries. The players are ecstatic. I thought we caused our own problems in the first half giving the penalty away and not getting the ball quick enough.
"The players were a credit. Our keeper David Marshall has had a hard time of late but he was magnificent. Robert Snodgrass had the most unbelievable swollen ankle at one point which disappeared overnight. He showed great character.
"Now that we have got three or four injuries, the international break has come at a good time for us. We will enjoy the next few days and start again."

Southampton manager Claude Puel, speaking to Match of the Day: "We lacked concentration. We lost the rhythm of the game. It is important for the future that we learn from this situation.
"After a European game it is difficult to keep the same concentration. It is a good lesson for the future.
"We know all the teams are difficult to play and to play every three days is difficult. We have to learn this and keep the same concentration every game."
Following the international break, Hull return to action with a trip to bottom side Sunderland on Saturday, 19 November (15:00 GMT), while on the same day Southampton play host to leaders Liverpool, also at 15:00.

Both teams remain in the bottom three after drawing 1-1 in the Tyne-Wear derby, with Aleksandar Mitrovic's late header earning Newcastle a point.
An increase in TV money means Premier League relegation could cost £100m.
"I think we will have to fight until the last game and the last minute, so we have to do it," said Benitez.
After spurning a one-goal lead for a second successive game, Allardyce said: "Put those four points on the board now and we are feeling like we are going to be surviving and we are going to stay safe.
"Now we are going to go right to the wire to try to stay safe, and that's the bottom line."
Mitrovic's 83rd-minute goal ended a run of six defeats against Sunderland and left the Magpies three points adrift of safety with eight games remaining.
Sunderland, who took the lead through Jermain Defoe's 15th goal of the season, are a point better off in 18th place, two points behind Norwich.
Newcastle travel to the Canaries after the international break with Sunderland also facing them at Carrow Road on 16 April.

After losing his first game at leaders Leicester, the result earned Benitez a first point since becoming Newcastle manager just over a week ago.
Asked if his team were now in a scary position, the former Real Madrid boss replied: "It was scary before. I am here because I have to give the team confidence and we have to improve things.
"We are creating chances, we are attacking, so we have to improve this part of the game and create more chances and Mitrovic or Papiss Cisse or the other strikers will score more goals and we will be fine."

Allardyce, whose team have not kept a clean sheet in 18 consecutive games in all competitions, said his team need four wins from their eight remaining games.
"If we don't start getting these clean sheets it's going to be a massive problem," he added.
"We are a team that has to score twice to win. Sadly we didn't get the second goal and we conceded late on again.
"In the second half, I don't know why we sat in and let Newcastle come at us. Maybe that was the size of the game, but in the end we haven't done that and it's two points dropped.
"We need four wins from the last eight, so it's now must-win rather than draw." | Newcastle boss Rafael Benitez and Sunderland manager Sam Allardyce both expect their fight to stay in the Premier League to go down to the wire. | 35855571 | [

Victoria Street in Victoria flooded at about 18:00 BST on Saturday and the water gushed into several businesses including the Curzon Cinema, which had to be evacuated.
Fire crews then helped some people in the venue cross the flooded pavement.
Thames Water said a large pipe burst damaging the road but no customers were without water on Sunday.
A spokesman for the company said: "Our team is on site arranging emergency repairs.
"We apologise for any inconvenience caused and we will fix the pipe as soon as possible."
The road remained closed between Palace Street and Buckingham Gate on Sunday morning and several buses in the busy area were on diversion.
On its website Curzon Cinemas Victoria said: "Due to a burst water main, Curzon Victoria has had to close tonight (Saturday 6th June).
"We apologise for any inconvenience caused." | Cinema-goers were carried to safety by firefighters after they became stranded when a water main burst in London. | 33039712 | [

Ryan Watson was taken to Wishaw General following an incident in Wilson Street on 11 August but later died.
Police have appealed to people in the local community for information.
Det Insp Mark Bell from Police Scotland said: "From the enquiries my team have conducted so far, I am confident that the answer to Ryan's death lies within the local community of Larkhall."
He added: "A young man's life has been taken away needlessly and the family of Ryan deserve to know the truth about what happened to him.
"Ryan had a partner and a young son who will have to continue their lives without him. His mum and dad have lost a son, his brothers and sister have lost a much loved brother.
"I'm making a direct appeal to those within the community, to search their conscience, and contact us with any information they may have because I know somebody knows who did this." | A murder inquiry has started following the death of a 24-year-old father in South Lanarkshire. | 37134745 | [

The allegations were made in a BBC Spotlight programme on Tuesday.
Mr Adams has denied any involvement in the murder of Mr Donaldson in 2006.
In a statement, BBC Spotlight said: "The Spotlight programme dealt with matters of great public interest and the BBC stands by its journalism."
A lawyer for the Donaldson family spoke to the BBC on Friday after meeting Garda Deputy Assistant Commissioner Derek Byrne and two other senior police officers.
Ciaran Shiels said the officers provided an update on progress in their investigation during the meeting in Belfast.
"The one theme that has come out of today's meeting is that the theory that was being advanced by BBC Spotlight earlier this week, that this was in some way carried out by the Provisional IRA or authorised by Gerry Adams, I think it's absolute nonsense," he said.
Asked how the family responded to the claims that Mr Donaldson was killed by the Provisional IRA, and that the killing had been sanctioned by the Sinn Féin leader, Mr Shiels said: "It just does not stand up.
"It does not marry in any way with the lines of inquiry that have been progressed by the guards ([Garda] or by the the (police) ombudsman."
A man who said he worked as an informer for the intelligence branch of the police told Spotlight that he had been told the Provisional IRA had killed him.
The former spy, who was in the IRA and Sinn Féin., told the programme that in his experience such a murder would have to have been sanctioned by Gerry Adams.
The man could not be identified because of fears about his safety.
What Spotlight was told
Agent: I know from my experience in the IRA that murders have to be approved by the leadership. They have to be given approval by the leadership of the IRA and the military leadership of the IRA.
Presenter: Who are you specifically referring to?
Agent: Gerry Adams, he gives the final say.
Mr Donaldson was shot dead in a remote cottage in Donegal in April 2006, months after admitting that he had been an MI5 agent for more than 20 years.
Three years later, the Real IRA said it was responsible.
Mr Donaldson had worked for Sinn Féin as an administrator at Stormont. | The family of murdered Sinn Féin official Denis Donaldson have said they do not believe the Provisional IRA killed him, or that his shooting was authorised by Gerry Adams. | 37453854 | [

Charity Twelves Company, based in Devon, said it had turned away 112 people seeking support in 2015.
A BBC investigation revealed that in Devon and Cornwall police have seen a 55% rise in reports of sexual abuse in the past four years.
Police urged victims to come forward and said they would be protected.
Updates on this story and more from Devon and Cornwall
Between January and November 2015, 1,326 reports of sexual abuse were made to the force, compared with 853 in 2011.
The figures show more than 380 historic allegations - in which the offence was committed before 1 May 2004 - of rape involving a child have been reported to the force since 2011.
Jon Brown, head of development and impact at the NSPCC, said: "Unfortunately there is a significant gap between the number of people who need help and therapy as a result of the abuse, and the availability of services."
He said the rise in reports was a result of historic cases of child sex abuse in the news, which had encouraged more people to come forward.
853 - 2011
888 - 2012
979 - 2013
1,221 - 2014
1,326 - 2015
Mr Brown said the prime minister had highlighted child sexual abuse as a priority along with dealing with terrorism which was "encouraging".
However, Mr Brown said there needed to be a "more joined up approach [between authorities] to provide the provision of help for victims" including "greater treatment and help" and working with schools and families to prevent abuse.
He said local authorities, health services and the police, as well as charities such as the NSPCC, had a duty to protect and care for victims.
Tom Dingwall, chief executive of Twelves Company, which supports sexual and domestic abuse victims in the South West, said it provided services to almost 300 victims in 2015.
"Last year, demand outstripped our capacity to deliver services and we turned away 112 adults from receiving specialist support."
Across Devon and Cornwall there are four Local Safeguarding Children's Boards - which aim to protect those at risk.
Andy Bickley, chair for Plymouth, said investments, including training courses for those who come into contact with children, have been made.
David Taylor, the chair for Devon and Torbay, said authorities were "getting better at identifying abuse".
He said: "It is an extremely complex and challenging area of work, and authorities in the region are learning from best practice in other parts of the country."

Det Ch Insp Neil Ralph said the rise in reports of abuse was a "challenge for the police service, locally and nationally", but the force had made a "huge investment" by creating a dedicated unit and was working with other forces.
"It is a large increase and we've increased our digital and online footprint as these things can be really difficult to report over the phone so it enables them to report abuse [online] much easier.
"People have a high level of trust in the police and the Operation Yewtree impact [means] they have felt more compelled to report abuse to police.
He said a high number of the reports, which were released in response to a freedom of information request by BBC News, related to historical crimes and the force "would do everything it can to investigate them and bring the offenders to justice".
- Local authorities have the statutory responsibility for safeguarding children.
- The safeguarding is overseen by Local Safeguarding Children’s Boards.
- These Boards are made up of a number of agencies such as local authorities, police, education & health providers.
- Police will lead on criminal investigations with social care services leading on the safeguarding. | Victims of child sex abuse are being turned away from support services that are being overwhelmed by a large rise in cases. | 34983826 | [

At a fringe meeting about which political party best spoke for the working class, Tim Aker said the 2005 ban had upped levels of hidden drinking by forcing people "to retreat inwards".
It was evidence of a "bankrupt" Labour telling people "what to do and think".
Senior UKIP figures have also targeted new Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.
UKIP made big inroads into traditional Labour heartlands in May's election - coming second to the party in a host of seats in the north of England - but it has been suggested that Mr Corbyn's election could halt this momentum.
But Mr Aker, who lost to Labour by 800 votes in Thurrock in May, said Labour had "ceased to exist" as a party of working people, choosing to "lecture rather than represent them".
Citing the smoking ban as an example of a policy that had hit C1 and C2 workers, he said: "They (Labour) say all the time, despite ignoring the facts, that it was the pit closures that destroyed all the communities.
"But I put it to you that the smoking ban has destroyed more communities than any any pit closure has done because when people don't have a place to meet, a place to socialise, they retreat in.
"What sort of outcome is it to say 'we don't want you drinking and smoking, take it out of the licensed area', and it goes all the way back to the homes where people are drinking and smoking more in front of their children."
In contrast to Labour, he said, UKIP would stand up for working people by giving them more power over their lives.
"We are the ones that embrace the one concept that has helped working class voters more than the minimum wage, more than anything else - the greatest thing for the working class is democracy."
Speaking to the BBC later, Mr Aker said the closure of pubs in many communities meant "there was no community left". He insisted he did not mean to "belittle the hardships of those who lost their jobs in the pits" but sought to "draw a parallel between their closures and the closure of pubs".
Speaking at the same meeting, former vice-chairman Suzanne Evans said Mr Corbyn was an "unreconstructed communist and like all communists it is the poorest who will suffer (under him)".
And speaking in the hall, deputy leader Paul Nuttall said Mr Corbyn was a "trendy lefty" rather than a working class hero and suggested that working people would not warm to a man "who says nice things about the IRA, wants to give the Falklands back to the Argentinians and, above all, won't sing the national anthem".
More than ever before, he suggested, UKIP was poised to become the alternative to Labour in the Midlands and the north of England and to the Tories in the south of England.
But it would only continue to make inroads in the traditional Labour vote if it was "bold and told it like it is".
He added: "We must not tone down our language. We must not change. If we change and sound like all the rest, we are finished."
Meanwhile, Matthew Goodwin - professor of politics at the University of Kent and the author of a book on UKIP's rise - has cast doubt on whether Mr Corbyn's election will stop the leaching of Labour votes to UKIP.
Mr Goodwin told the fringe meeting that past assumptions that UKIP voters were "exiled Tories who liked to wear tweed and corduroy and spend most of their time playing golf" had been scotched by its performance in May - when it attracted 29% of working class votes, compared with Labour's 27%.
"Labour is in real trouble among these groups and it is not a problem that is going to be fixed by Jeremy Corbyn," he said.
But he warned that UKIP, as well as other parties, risked losing working class voters to "political apathy". | A UKIP MEP has told the party's conference the ban on smoking in public places in England has "damaged more communities than the pit closures did". | 34363074 | [

He accused Suliman Gani in Parliament of backing the militant group as he questioned Sadiq Khan's judgement in sharing a platform with him.
Mr Gani has said claims he backs IS are defamatory and must be retracted.
Earlier on Wednesday, Defence Secretary Michael Fallon apologised for making similar claims.
At Prime Minister's Questions in April, Mr Cameron said Mr Khan had appeared on a platform nine times with Mr Gani, whom the prime minister alleged "supports IS".
Mr Gani said at the time that he wanted to take legal action against Mr Cameron but was unable to do so because of Parliamentary privilege rules, which protect MPs' freedom of speech in the Commons.
In a statement, Downing Street said Mr Cameron was referring to reports that Mr Gani supports "an" Islamic state.
A Number 10 spokesman said: "The prime minister is clear this does not mean Mr Gani supports the organisation Daesh and he apologises to him for any misunderstanding."
Several senior Conservatives attacked Mr Gani at the height of the London mayoral race and accused Mr Khan - who was elected London Mayor last week - of associating with extremists, an approach which Labour said was illustrative of a "divisive, dog-whistle campaign".
Mr Fallon apologised for an "inadvertent error" in labelling Mr Gani an IS sympathiser. He made the claim about the Tooting preacher during a BBC interview, as he defended the Conservatives' London mayoral election campaign.
In a message on social media last month, Mr Gani said he had "condemned IS wholeheartedly" since its inception and that it in no way represented his beliefs. He wrote: "Saying I support Islamic State is untrue and highly damaging to my reputation.
"I am totally opposed to so-called Islamic State which I view as a terrorist and inhumane organisation. Indeed as an imam and community leader, I have campaigned against the evils of Islamic State to my fellow Muslims and to others in the community."
Dr Shuja Shafi of the Muslim Council of Britain welcomed the "long overdue apology", but said "such smear-by-association has become all too common for Muslims and Muslim organisations".
"For the real extremists we are all opposed to, such tactics will only provide fresh new examples of a society not willing to accept Muslims for who they are," he said.
He called for the prime minister and the defence secretary to repeat their apologies in Parliament, and for an "urgent review" of Islamophobia in the Conservative party. | David Cameron has apologised for "any misunderstanding" after describing a former imam as a supporter of the Islamic State group. | 36272269 | [

Former England skipper Terry, 36, will leave the Premier League champions at the end of the season.
He captained Chelsea to an FA Cup and Premier League Double in Clement's first season as assistant to then manager Carlo Ancelotti in 2008-09.
"I don't know his thinking, whether he is going to carry on," Clement said.
"I will have a conversation with him. I've known him a long time."
Terry made his senior debut for Chelsea in 1998, and Sunday's home Premier League game against Sunderland could be his final appearance for the club.
"There's been talk in the media it could be his last game or that he will go on," Clement said.
"Whether that is here in the Premier League, or whether that is abroad, that is all unsure at the moment."
Swansea's Premier League rivals Bournemouth are also reported to be interested in signing Terry, should he carry on playing.
Meanwhile, former France and Chelsea midfielder Claude Makelele is to become a permanent part of Swansea's coaching staff.
The 44-year-old, brought in until the end of the season following Clement's appointment in January, is now set to sign a long-term deal.
"All the terms have been agreed, he just needs to sign," said Clement. "We are very happy Claude is gong to be staying on.
"He is very well-liked by all the staff and the players. He brings great experience of what it is like to play at a very high level.
"He and all my backroom staff have been fantastic." | Swansea City manager Paul Clement says he will have "a conversation" with Chelsea captain John Terry about the possibility of signing him. | 39959265 | [

The Shrimps lost their opening game of the season at newly-promoted Grimsby but then knocked Championship side Rotherham out of the EFL Cup 5-4 and have won three straight league games.
"It's nice but it is early days," 40-year-old Bentley told BBC Radio Lancashire.
"You're never too high and never too low and I keep saying that."
He added: "It's important everyone keeps their feet on the ground - likewise when you have a sticky spell that everyone keeps check and sticks together."
Kevin Ellison, 37, got the only goal of the game as Morecambe's 1-0 win at Yeovil on Saturday moved them to the top of the league.
"People say about his age and this and that but if you work with him day in, day out you see how he rubs off on other people," added Bentley on Ellison. "His desire, his attitude towards training and his own recovery and own professionalism, he's a credit to himself and his family.
"A lot of young people should look at him up and down the country because he is that good at what he does." | Morecambe must not get carried away despite sitting top of League Two, says Shrimps boss Jim Bentley. | 37159611 | [
