World champions Mercedes, runners-up Red Bull and third-placed Williams showed off their new designs in the pit lane before beginning preparation work.
Eight teams are in Jerez discovering whether the months of design work on revising their machines has paid off.
Force India have missed the test because their 2015 car is late.
The big secret was the Red Bull, as Mercedes and Williams had already released pictures or images of their challengers.
It was launched in a temporary camouflage livery, similar to those used by road-car manufacturers when they are testing new models.
What could be seen, however, was that the car features a nose design that combines elements of last year's Ferrari with the "bump" on the tip featured on the new Williams.
"There are some changes that affect the shape of the front of the car but beyond that most of the changes are under the skin," Red Bull chief engineering officer Rob Marshall said.
"There won't be a lot that's visible to the naked eye but a lot of hard work has gone into the bits that are hidden."
The Mercedes, like the other cars, is an evolution of last year's dominant machine, but it features notable differences, including a narrower and longer nose and narrower rear bodywork.
"The key factor from our perspective is avoiding complacency. Expectations are now high and a lot of assumptions are being made about our potential this season," Mercedes executive director (technical) Paddy Lowe said.
"Internally, however, we are fully aware that you can never afford to stand still in any sport - particularly F1.
"We have been pushing harder than ever to find areas for performance gains. But at the same time, we must ensure we are moving in the correct direction.
"Some changes will be more visually obvious, of course, but the devil is in the detail. Beneath the covers there have been a raft of developments on both chassis and power-unit - all aimed at creating a car that is safer, more efficient, more reliable and ultimately faster."
Sir Frank Williams said his team's target, after leaping from ninth to third last season, was "to continue their move back towards the front of the grid".
The new FW37 bears a strong resemblance to its predecessor, but has an unusual nose design to meet the new rules aimed at increasing safety, with a bump protruding from a square section at the front.
Elsewhere, Sebastian Vettel was the first man out of the pit lane as he began work for his new team, Ferrari.
And McLaren had a delayed start as they begin their much-anticipated era with new engine partner Honda. Fernando Alonso will drive on Sunday before alternating with Jenson Button for the rest of the test.
Button wrote on his Twitter account: "Don't expect too much from us this test as it'll be mostly systems checks", adding that McLaren-Honda faced a "long road" but had "massive potential". | The first day of pre-season testing for the new Formula 1 season has started at Spain's Jerez track with three leading teams unveiling their cars. | 31080286 | [

The public is paying tribute to Mr Ford, who died at age 46 of cancer and gained notoriety for his outlandish public acts and drug use.
He was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive cancer in 2014, keeping him from running for mayor again.
Before becoming mayor, he served as a city councillor, which he also served as at the time of his death.
His wife, Renata, hugged supporters who lined up to pay tribute to her husband, her children Stephanie and Doug by her side.
According to the CBC, hundreds of Ford fans lined up, some with newspaper clippings of happy memories of his time as mayor.
Doug Holyday, his former deputy mayor, stopped before his casket, along with many city councillors.
The repose continues on Tuesday and his funeral is on Wednesday.
Current Toronto Mayor John Tory called him a "profoundly human guy". Former prime minister Stephen Harper, whom Ford supported in his re-election bid last year, said he was a "fighter throughout life."

Toronto ex-mayor: Everyone makes mistakes - His "human" qualities endeared him to voters
Why Rob Ford was a typical Canadian - The bawdy politician did not fit the world's often unrealistic image of Canada
His image contrasted sharply with Canada's usual calm, buttoned-up politics.
While serving as Toronto mayor, Mr Ford was videotaped and photographed intoxicated in public areas.
"Yes, I have smoked crack cocaine," Mr Ford told reporters. "But... do I? Am I addict? No. Have I tried it? Probably in one of my drunken stupors, probably approximately about a year ago."
Despite the crack-smoking scandal, his popularity remained high with fans lining up to take photo with him.
He was especially popular among people living in Toronto's suburbs who felt left behind by liberal Toronto and liked his populist message. | The colourful former mayor of Toronto, Rob Ford, is lying in repose at a ceremony at Toronto City Hall. | 35912222 | [

A senior Chinese foreign ministry official is quoted as saying that the Zambian authorities have failed to provide strong evidence.
Those arrested are accused of, among other things, running unlicensed smelting plants and employing children.
China has invested heavily in Zambian copper mining and other sectors.
The country is also home to a growing Chinese community.
The arrests happened in a joint police and immigration operation in the town of Chingola, 400km (250 miles) north of the capital, Lusaka.
"We are here to put to an end this criminality. Foreign investors who come into this country must work within the confines of the law. Those who break the law will be flushed out," Home Affairs Minister Stephen Kampyongo was quoted as saying in the Times of Zambia.
Lin Songtian, the Chinese Foreign Ministry's director-general for African affairs, said that while he supports measures to deal with illegal mining, in this case proof had not been provided, Reuters news agency reports.
He also complained that among those arrested was a pregnant woman and two others with malaria.
There has been some tension between the Chinese and Zambians in the past.
In 2010, two Chinese managers were accused of attempted murder after firing on miners during a pay dispute. The charges were later dropped.
Two years later, Zambian miners killed a Chinese manager during a riot at a coal mine. | China has complained to Zambia after 31 of its nationals were arrested at the weekend for alleged illegal mining practices. | 40158093 | [

He was seriously injured in a bomb attack in Afghanistan in 2006.
Since carrying the torch on 26 June, Doncaster-based L/Bdr Parkinson has had thousands of requests on Facebook.
But the site limits friend associations to 5,000 per personal page and he cannot accept all the requests.
Flanked by hundreds of people, he walked for nearly half an hour with the Olympic torch with an assistant who supported his arm.
L/Bdr Parkinson's nomination stated: "The brain injury took his speech, but not his personality and sense of humour," adding he now speaks unaided.
It said: "Determined to prove everyone wrong, he fought back every step of the way. Ben's intelligence and wit [are] unchanged. Still the same funny and caring Ben."
He spends 12 hours a day in the gym and rehab and walks with crutches, spending "the rest of his time spent raising money for many military charities and as patron of his beloved
Pilgrim Bandits
".
L/Bdr Parkinson's mother Diane said the responses had "been phenomenal" and that Ben was really "buoyed up" by the support and friendship he had been shown.
She said: "It's just unbelievable, Ben's had way over 5,000 friend requests but Facebook won't let him have more than that number.
"Thousands of people have joined the Pilgrim Bandits website and the messages of support we've had are great.
"Ben's page has had 19,000 hits just on an update, I don't understand how these things work, but it's phenomenal."
She said the amount of post the family had received had also increased.
She added: "Some mail has just been addressed to Ben, please Mr Postie.
"E-mail traffic has gone through the roof and Ben's had hundreds of requests to visit places with the [Olympic] torch.
"He's absolutely bouncing and buoyed up and elated."
Facebook would not comment on the issue but their guidance was that if people were receiving this many requests then they have become a public figure, so should consider having a page instead of a profile.
Alternatively, Ben could use subscribe so that people can see his public updates without actually becoming a friend.

Institutions across the UK are likely to be affected by joint action by the University and College Union (UCU), Unison and Unite.
The unions have rejected a pay offer of 1% which they say represents a 13% pay cut in real terms since 2008.
The employers maintain the offer is a good outcome for staff.
The unions say they are willing to meet for last minute talks but say they are not optimistic "as the employers had so far refused to engage in talks aimed at resolving the dispute".
Michael MacNeil, head of higher education at UCU, said: "There is widespread anger over the pay cuts staff have had to endure in recent years and all the reports we are getting suggest that Thursday's strike will be very well supported.
"We are amazed the employers are still refusing to sit down with us to try and resolve this without any need for disruption. There are precious few hours left now, but our offer of talks remains open."
Unison's head of higher education Jon Richards accused university management of "sitting on record surpluses, splashing out on senior management pay but refusing to give a decent wage to the staff who have made UK universities some of the best in the world".
The Universities and Colleges Employers Association (UCEA), which represents the universities as employers, has expressed disappointment at the rejection of the offer.
A spokesman for UCEA said that less than 5% of the higher education workforce had chosen to vote in favour of strike action and predicted "a low level impact on students".
The spokesman said that they had made their final pay offer in May and had been engaged in a dispute resolution process with the unions throughout the summer.
"We have met repeatedly over the last six months and as recently as last week."
The spokesman added that "salary costs in most HE institutions will actually rise by around 3% this year.
"Many staff will also get generous incremental increases and contribution pay. These pay increases will be seen as generous by many looking into the sector."
He added that the GMB union had agreed to accept the pay offer for its members employed by universities.
For Unite, the turnout for the ballot was 28% and of these, 64% (1,654 members) voted in favour of action. For the UCU the turnout was 35%, with 62% voting in favour of strike action.
Unison said that of those who had voted, 54.4% had been in favour of action and 45.6% against.
UCU says its members last went on strike over pay in 2006. | University staff have offered to meet employers for eleventh hour talks to avert a one-day strike over pay, planned for Thursday. | 24726743 | [

Once again, it was only Celtic who were able to pay substantial sums in transfer fees and, even then, manager Neil Lennon's focus in signing Leigh Griffiths and Stefan Johansen was not so much on results in the second half of the season but on preparing for next season's assault on the Champions League qualifying rounds.
The motivation for the rest was not on forming any kind of challenge to the runaway reigning champions at the top but on securing a place in the top six by the time the Scottish Premiership splits into two for the final round of fixtures.
Indeed, even more importantly, the thought of finishing in the second bottom spot, which this season comes with it the prospect of relegation via a play-off against a side from the Championship, led to a plethora of changes in the squads near the foot of the table.
Key arrivals: Adam Rooney could not reproduce his Inverness Caledonian Thistle form with Birmingham City and Oldham Athletic, but the Irish striker has scored two in two games on his return to Scotland's top flight. Rooney's addition comes after Calvin Zola failed to become a regular starter following his arriving from Burton Albion in the summer.
Manager Derek McInnes will hope that Shaleum Logan or Alan Tate, who had arrived from Brentford and Swansea City respectively, prove to be as classy in defence as Michael Hector, who has returned to the Reading bench after his loan at Pittodrie.
In: Adam Rooney, forward (Oldham Athletic). Loan: Alan Tate, defender (Swansea City); Shaleum Logan, defender (Brentford)
Out: Gregg Wylde, midfielder (St Mirren); Scott Ferries, midfielder (Ross County), Chris Clark, midfielder (Cove Rangers); Craig Duguid, defender. Loan ended: Michael Hector, defender (Reading). Loan: Josh Magennis, forward (St Mirren); Lawrence Shankland, forward (Dunfermline Athletic); Stephen O'Neill, midfielder (East Fife); Jamie Masson, midfielder (Elgin City); Danny Rogers, goalkeeper (Airdrieonians)
Summer signing report card
Pass: Barry Robson, midfielder (Sheffield United); Willo Flood, midfielder (Dundee United); Michael Hector, defender (Reading)
Jury's out: Calvin Zola, forward (Burton Albion); Nicky Weaver, goalkeeper (Sheffield Wednesday); Lawrence Shankland, forward (Queen's Park)
Fail: Gregg Wylde, midfielder (Bolton Wanderers)
Key arrivals: With summer signings Teemu Pukki and Amido Balde having failed to match the strike rate of Norwich City-bound Gary Hooper, manager Neil Lennon can expect Leigh Griffiths to guarantee goals on the domestic front even if he only reproduces the form he showed while on loan with Hibernian. However, the big test will be whether a player who was in and out of the Wolves side in England's League One can make the step up to the Champions League stage next season.
Stefan Johansen should prove to be an adequate replacement for Joe Ledley after the Wales international's departure to Crystal Palace once the Norway midfielder settles in Glasgow.
In: Leigh Griffiths, forward (Wolves, undisclosed); Stefan Johansen, midfielder (Stromgodset, £2m); Holmbert Aron Fridjonsson (Fram Reykjavic, £150,000)
Out: Joe Ledley, midfielder (Crystal Palace, undisclosed); Mo Bangura, forward. Loan ended: Max Oberschmidt, goalkeeper (Fulham). Loan: Tom Rogic, midfielder (Melbourne Victory); Dylan McGeough, midfielder (Coventry City); Bahrudin Atajic, forward (Shrewsbury Town); Jo Chalmers, defender (Falkirk); Stuart Findlay, defender (Morton); Paul George, midfielder (Hamilton Academical); Michael Miller, defender (Dumbarton)
Summer signing report card
Pass: Virgil van Dijk, defender (Groningen, £2.6m)
Jury's out: Steven Mouyokolo, defender (Wolves); Derk Boerrigter, midfielder (Ajax, £3m); Nir Biton, midfielder (Ashdod, £700,000); Amido Balde, forward (Vitória Guimarães, £1.5m); Teemu Pukki, forward (Schalke 04, undisclosed)
Key arrivals: Dundee United thought they had pulled off the coup of the summer by bringing David Goodwillie back on loan from Blackburn Rovers. However, the troubled Scotland striker was kept out of the side by a combination of Nadir Ciftci, the young Turk who arrived from Breda, and the emerging talent of 17-year-old Ryan Gauld.
Farid El Alagui, who was so prolific with Falkirk, looks like an able replacement for Goodwillie and the on-loan Brentford striker scored in only his second United start.
In: Loan: Farid El Alagui, forward (Brentford); Curtis Good, defender (Newcastle United)
Out: Ryan Ferguson, midfielder (Brechin City); Ross Smith, defender (Peterhead). Loan ended: David Goodwillie, forward (Blackburn Rovers). Loan: Chris Erskine, midfielder (Partick Thistle); Mark Miller, midfielder (Falkirk); Kudus Oyenuga, forward (Boreham Wood); Ross Gilmour, defender (Airdrieonians); Darren Petrie, midfielder (Brechin City). Joe McGovern, goalkeeper (Clyde)
Summer signing report card
Pass: Mark Wilson, defender (Bristol City); Paul Paton, midfielder (Partick Thistle); Andrew Robertson, defender (Queen's Park); Nadir Ciftci, forward (Breda); Brian Graham, forward (Raith Rovers)
Jury's out: Calum Butcher, defender (Hayes & Yeading); Aidan Connolly, midfielder (Queen's Park)
Fail: David Goodwillie, forward (Blackburn Rovers); Chris Erskine, midfielder (Partick Thistle); Kudus Oyenuga, forward (Hayes & Yeading)
Key arrivals: Hearts manager Gary Locke has been lamenting the lack of a striker in his squad all season and got his wish when Paul McCallum arrived on loan from West Ham United as part of the one-out, one-in rule governing the signing embargo imposed because they are in administration.
However, his arrival is likely to come too late to save the Edinburgh side from relegation. To expect a 20-year-old, no matter how talented, to make up the deficit created by a start-of-season 15-point penalty is too much to ask.
Many Hearts fans had seen Rudi Skacel as a potential saviour, but the veteran midfielder struggled to make an impact with Dundee United before being released in the summer and the Scottish Professional Football League rejected the club's request to sign the Czech in any case.
In: Loan: Paul McCallum, forward (West Ham United)
Out: Adam King, midfielder (Swansea City, undisclosed); Alan Combe, goalkeeper (remains as coach)
Summer signing report card
Pass: Danny Wilson, defender (Liverpool)
Key arrivals: Almost uniquely outside of Celtic, Hibs actually forked out a substantial transfer fee to take James Collins from Swindon Town in the summer. However, the Irishman's failure, along with fellow striking additions Paul Heffernan and the now-departed Rowan Vine, to come anywhere near matching the goal rate of former loanee Leigh Griffiths perhaps more than anything led to Pat Fenlon's departure as manager.
New boss Terry Butcher says it will be the summer before he is able to reshape the squad in the way he wants, so for now he is having to hope that Danny Haynes, on loan from Notts County, or Sunderland teenager Duncan Watmore will provide the extra goalscoring spark. Meanwhile, on-loan Arsenal defender Daniel Boateng will be aiming for more game time than he achieved at Swindon Town and Oxford United.
In: Loan: Daniel Boateng, defender (Arsenal); Danny Haynes, forward (Notts County); Duncan Watmore, forward (Sunderland)
Out: Rowan Vine, forward (Morton); Fraser Mullen, defender (Raith Rovers); Tim Clancy, defender. Loan: Ross Caldwell, forward (Alloa Athletic); David Gold, midfielder (Cowdenbeath)
Summer signing report card
Pass: Michael Nelson, defender (Bradford City); Ryan McGivern, defender (Manchester City); Liam Craig, midfielder (St Johnstone)
Jury's out: Owain Tudur Jones, midfielder (Inverness Caledonian Thistle); Paul Heffernan, forward (Kilmarnock); James Collins, forward (Swindon Town, £200,000); Abdellah Zoubir, midfielder (Istres)
Fail: Rowan Vine, forward (St Johnstone); Fraser Mullen, defender (Hearts)
Key arrivals: Greg Tansey has already made an impact on his return to Caley Thistle from Stevenage, the midfielder scoring and being a solid influence in the Scottish League Cup semi-final win over Hearts.
However, the departure of Terry Butcher summer signings Torbjorn Agdestein and Curtis Allen means new manager John Hughes lacks options up front should top scorer Billy McKay be injured or suspended.
In: Greg Tansey, midfielder (Stevenage)
Out: Torbjorn Agdestein, forward; Curtis Allen, forward (Glentoran).Loan:Calum Ferguson, forward (Montrose)
Summer signing report card
Pass: Dean Brill, goalkeeper (Luton Town); James Vincent, midfielder (Kidderminster Harriers); Marley Watkins, midfielder (Hereford United)
Jury's out: Nick Draper, goalkeeper (Lincoln City); Carl Tremarco, defender (Macclesfield Town); Joe Gorman, defender (Crewe Alexandra); Ben Greenhalgh, midfielder (Ebbsfleet United); Danny Williams, midfielder (Kendal Town); Adam Evans, midfielder (Burnley)
Fail: Torbjörn Agdestein, forward (Brighton & Hove Albion); Curtis Allen, forward (Coleraine)
Key arrivals: If skilful midfielder Alexei Eremenko makes as good an impression in his second spell at Rugby Park as he did in his first, manager Allan Johnston will be well pleased. However, the Finland international is now 30 and has since had anonymous spells with Russia outfit Rubin Kazan and in Khazakhstan with Kairat Almaty.
David Moberg Karlsson is only 19, but the on-loan Sunderland winger has first-team experience with IFK Gothenburg that should help him make an impression in the Scottish Premiership.
In: Alexie Eremenko, midfielder (Kairat Almaty). Loan: David Moberg Karlsson, (Sunderland); Vitalijs Maksimenko, defender (Brighton & Hove Albion)
Out: Gabriel Reuben, midfielder (Waasland-Beveren); Rabiu Ibrahim, midfielder; Kyle Jacobs, midfielder (Livingston); Mark Stewart, forward (Derry City); Gary Fisher, midfielder (East Fife).Loan: James Fowler, midfielder (Cowdenbeath); Jude Winchester, midfielder (Cliftonville)
Summer signing report card
Pass: Craig Samson, goalkeeper (St Mirren); Sean Clohessy, defender (Southend United); Barry Nicholson, midfielder (Fleetwood Town); Jackson Irvine, midfielder (Celtic, loan)
Jury out: Antonio Reguero, goalkeeper (Inverness Caledonian Thistle); Conor Brennan, goalkeeper (Leicester City); Darren Barr, defender (Heart of Midlothian); Ismael Bouzid, defender (Alger); Michael Gardyne, forward (Dundee United)
Fail: Caoimhin Bonner, defender (Derry City); Kyle Jacobs, midfielder (Livingston); Mark Stewart, forward (Dundee)
Key arrivals: Motherwell manager Stuart McCall had the best success rate of any Scottish Premiership manager during the summer. Which, in addition to a budget made tighter by an early Scottish Cup exit, perhaps explains why he was also the least active in January.
His priority was the extension of winger Lionel Ainsworth's loan from Rotherham United and retaining striker Henri Anier, who has now made a permanent switch from Viking Stavanger. Neither Anier, nor fellow summer arrival John Sutton, has managed to match individually the scoring rate of Michael Higdon, who left for Nijmegen. However, as a partnership, with 18 goals between them, they are well on their way to surpassing the total of 31 reached last season by the Englishman and Anier's departed Estonia team-mate, Henrik Ojamaa.
In: Loan to permanent: Henri Anier, forward (Viking Stavanger)
Out: Loan ended: Dan Twardzik, goalkeeper (Dundee). Loan: Bob McHugh, forward (Queen of the South); Adam Cummins, defender (Dundee)
Summer signing report card
Pass: Gunnar Nielsen, goalkeeper (Silkeborg); Stephen McManus, defender (Middlesbrough); Iain Vigurs, midfielder (Ross County); John Sutton, forward (Heart of Midlothian); Lionel Ainsworth, midfielder (Rotherham United); Henri Anier, forward (Viking Stavanger)
Jury out: Fraser Kerr, defender (Birmingham City); Paul Lawson, midfielder (Ross County); Ben Hall, midfielder (Dungannon Swifts)
Key arrivals: The reviews of Partick Thistle on their return to Scotland's top flight have generally read: "Nice play, shame about the finishing". So in has come Lyle Taylor, who manager Alan Archibald witnessed terrorising Scottish Championship defences while with Falkirk before heading for Sheffield United. Three goals in his first two games showed promise, but none in his next four suggests the Englishman will need more creative help from a midfield bolstered by three loan signings - Prince Buaben, Chris Erskine and George Moncur - who arrived just before the January deadline.
In: Lee Mair, defender (St Mirren). Loan to permanent: Gary Fraser, midfielder (Bolton Wanderers). Loan: Lyle Taylor, forward (Sheffield United); Prince Buaben, midfielder (Carlisle United); George Moncur, midfielder (West Ham United); Chris Erskine, midfielder (Dundee United)
Out: John Baird, forward (Raith Rovers); Hugh Murray, midfielder (Dumbarton); Mark McGuigan, forward (Albion Rovers); Mark Kerr, midfielder (Queen of the South); Ross Forbes, midfielder (Dunfermline Athletic). Loan ended: Henoc Mukendi, defender (Liverpool). Loan: Liam Lindsay, defender (Alloa Athletic); James Martin, forward (KV Turnhout); Darren Brownlie, defender (Cowdenbeath)
Summer signing report card
Pass: Paul Gallacher, goalkeeper (Ross County); Isaac Osbourne, midfielder (Aberdeen); Kallum Higginbotham, forward (Huddersfield Town)
Jury out: Gary Fraser, midfielder (Bolton Wanderers); Gabriel, defender (Rayo Vallecano); Darren Brownlie, defender (Ayr United); Simon Colina, midfielder (Barcelona); Declan McDaid, midfielder (Morton); Dale Keenan, midfielder (East Fife)
Fail: Mark Kerr, midfielder (Dunfermline Athletic); John Baird, forward (Dundee); Henoc Mukendi, defender (Liverpool)
Key arrivals: Ross County manager Derek Adams has been the most active in the January transfer market, adding four players on permanent deals and the same number on loan. His summer signings with previous Scottish top-flight experience having proved more successful than the influx from the Netherlands, Adams in January turned to the English market.
On-loan Cardiff City midfielder Filip Kiss has already proved his worth with four goals, even if he blotted his copybook with a red card at the weekend. As has Blackburn Rovers defender Yann Songo'o, who had added two strikes of his own.
In: Erik Cikos, defender (Slovan Bratislava); Yoann Arquin, forward (Notts County); Evangelos Ikonomou, defender (Veria); Scott Ferries, midfielder (Aberdeen). Loan: Filip Kiss, midfielder (Cardiff City); Yann Songo'o, defender (Blackburn Rovers); Michael Tidser, midfielder (Rotherham United); Jordan Slew, forward (Blackburn Rovers)
Out: Mihael Kovacevic, defender; Branislav Micic, defender. Loan ended: Orhan Mustafi, forward (Grasshoppers). Loan:Steven Ross, midfielder (Brora Rangers)
Summer signing report card
Pass: Brian McLean, defender (Dundee United); Ben Gordon, defender (Yeovil Town); Graham Carey, midfielder (St Mirren); Melvin de Leeuw, midfielder (Cambuur-Leeuwarden)
Jury out: Steven Saunders, defender (Motherwell); Marc Klok, midfielder (Utrecht); Kevin Luckassen, forward (AZ Alkmaar)
Fail: Orhan Mustafi, forward (Grasshoppers Zurich); Darren Maatsen, midfielder (Excelsior Rotterdam)
Key arrivals: Chris Iwelumo was the most eye-catching of St Johnstone's January additions - not just because of his height but because of his pedigree as a former Scotland striker. After Murray Davidson was ruled out for the rest of the season late in January, manager Tommy Wright swiftly changed his targets to bring in two midfielders - Mark Davies and James Dunne.
However, most Saints fans appear to have concerns about a central defence that was not bolstered during the January window.
In: Chris Iwelumo, forward (Scunthorpe United); Wayde Joyce, midfielder (Barnsley); Michael O'Halloran, forward (Bolton Wanderers); Fisayo Adarabioyo, midfielder (Birmingham City). Loan: Mark Davies, midfielder (Nottingham Forest); James Dunne, midfielder (Stevenage)
Out: Rory Fallon, forward; David Robertson, midfielder (Morton); Sanel Jahic, defender. Loan return: Gwion Edwards, midfielder (Swansea City). Loan: Chris Kane, forward (Dumbarton); Liam Caddis, midfielder (Alloa Athletic); Zander Clark, goalkeeper (Queen of the South)
Summer signing report card
Pass: Steve Banks, goalkeeper (Dundee United); David Wotherspoon, midfielder (Hibernian); Gary McDonald, midfielder (Morecambe)
Jury's out: Brian Easton, defender (Dundee); Lee Croft, midfielder (Oldham Athletic); Mark Hurst, goalkeeper (Livingston); Alex Kitchen, defender (Newcastle United); Scott Brown, midfielder (Bradford City); Scott Stevenson, midfielder (Motherwell); Anthony Higgins, midfielder (Alloa Athletic); Scott-Taylor MacKenzie, midfielder (Livingston); Dwayne Coultress, midfielder (Aldershot); Dylan Easton, forward (Berwick Rangers)
Fail: Rory Fallon, forward (Aberdeen); Sanel Jahic, defender (Karabukspor); Gwion Edwards, midfielder (Swansea City)
Key arrivals: With most of his summer signings having failed to shine, St Mirren manager Danny Lennon appears to have upped his game for January. Adam Campbell, Josh Magennis and, in particular, Gregg Wylde have already impressed and should increase the Buddies' threat going forward.
The experienced Eric Djemba-Djemba should help protect the back four - and they might need it considering the Paisley squad has shed three defenders without replacing them.

The second round of group games include must-win matches for England, against Uruguay, and Spain, who face Chile, after both teams suffered defeats in their opening fixtures.
Brazil and Mexico are the first teams to play their second game, on the same day as the opening fixtures in Group H. Those results are also included in Lawro's predictions.
Before the tournament, Lawro picked his two teams to go through from each group and reach the knockout stage.
He is backing Argentina to win the World Cup and lift the trophy at the Maracana on 13 July, and believes England will reach the quarter-finals.
Lawro was speaking to BBC Sport's Chris Bevan.

What quickly became evident was the common theme at the heart of the warm words, stories and anecdotes: 'our' Blowers is unique.
Special broadcasters like Henry cannot be created or coached - they just happen naturally.
He is, as everyone knows, a larger than life character who helped to create a legacy that marks out TMS as the envy of the broadcast world - both from within and outside the sport.
Indeed, it was Henry who imparted some of the best advice I have ever received.
I bumped into him on the first morning of my first Test as the cricket correspondent of the BBC. His advice was simple: be yourself. That's certainly what he is on air.

Henry makes every ball sound like an event, describing it with such energy, vividness and a wonderful use of language.
He also realises the importance of going beyond the narrow perspective of what is happening in the middle, bringing a PG Wodehouse flavour to proceedings.
I can always tell when Henry is getting excited about play because his right leg will bounce up and down like a piston.
He brings pizzazz to the commentary box, where everyone has their role. I know when I'm sat alongside Henry that the colourful, eccentric and random side of things is taken care of.
He is one of a handful of people - the others being Brian Johnston, John Arlott, Christopher Martin-Jenkins, Fred Trueman, Trevor Bailey and Peter Baxter - who made TMS what it is today.
Wherever I go, people always want to talk to me about Henry. People are just fascinated by him.
And he has changed in some respects.
For example, he used to dress rather traditionally with a jacket and bow tie. You would never say he was necessarily smart - but always traditional.
Then he married an Italian lady called Valeria and all of a sudden, this radiant creature would turn up on the morning of the match wearing some shocking colours - yellow, purple, blue, green.
One thing which has never changed, however, is his insatiable appetite for his work - whether that is his theatre shows, writing books, public speaking or writing for newspapers.
It is probably only now that he has finally taken a step back and looked at things.

I have so many fond memories of Henry.
Back in 1998, a Test in Jamaica was abandoned because of a dangerous pitch. I knew I was going to be busy but I was absolutely desperate for the toilet.
There was one toilet in the whole commentary box and I burst into the room, only to be faced with Henry delivering an elaborate report over the phone to a radio station.
I had no choice - I had to go to the toilet, despite Henry being in full flow. Even when I pulled the chain, he did not break stride in his delivery.
It was typical Henry. Being the extraordinary man that he is, he just carried on.
I have to admit that we often liked to play childish tricks on Henry.
I remember once sending him a fax from my laptop at the back of the commentary box. I ripped off the fax and handed it to Henry.
On letter-headed paper for a carpet company which didn't exist I wrote something along the lines of: "Dear Mr Blofeld, we think you are the best commentator on the radio, we always listen to you on the shop floor and if you mention us on air we'll send you a free carpet."
Henry enthusiastically read out the message and put the paper in his jacket pocket, delighted he was to get a new carpet no doubt.
Half an hour later, I sent another fax from Smith's Carpets' equally fictitious rival, Jones's Carpets: "Dear Mr Blofeld... we do not appreciate you blatantly plugging our rivals on air. Give us equal exposure or we'll be writing to the director general."
His face was a picture. And he never did get that free carpet.

The man, of 23, is being questioned on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving over the collision on the A500 at about 04:45 BST.
The two men who died, both aged 22, were from the north Staffordshire area, police said.
Part of the southbound carriageway was closed for seven hours after the crash at Cliffe Vale, a spokesman said.
The road has since reopened.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said it quickly became apparent to crews arriving at the scene "that nothing could be done to save two men that were in the car". They were confirmed dead at the scene.
A third man "was treated for multiple minor injuries" and taken to Royal Stoke University Hospital.
Anyone with any information about the collision is urged to call police on 101. | A man has been arrested after two men died when a car and lorry crashed in Stoke-on-Trent. | 34026865 | [

It started life as Castle Donington Airfield - a decommissioned RAF base, and now handles 4.5m passengers a year.
An estimated 95m passengers have passed through the airport since it opened on 2 April 1965.
In 1963, it was bought for £37,500 by a committee of representatives from Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire and Derbyshire as a replacement for Burnaston Aerodrome near Derby, which later became part of Toyota's car factory.
Work started on the £1.37m airport in 1964. In its first year, 114,000 passengers passed through the airport, which now sees 4.5m passengers a year.
The first destination on offer was Glasgow but it now flies to more than 70 locations as diverse as Aberdeen and Barbados.
A runway was extended in 1970 to accommodate bigger aircraft but the first Boeing 757 did not arrive until 1982.
Since it was officially opened by the Duke of Edinburgh in 1965, it has had its fair share of royal visitors, including the Queen Mother in 1977 and Princess Anne who opened a £3m passenger terminal in 1986.
In 1989, disaster struck when a Boeing 737 tried to make an emergency landing at the airport but crashed on the M1 motorway at nearby Kegworth, killing 47 people.
Mercifully, no one was killed on the ground and 74 passengers and crew survived.
A £14.5m new departure building opened in 1996, when the airport welcomed its 25 millionth passenger.
Managing director Andy Cliffe said the aviation industry had changed "enormously" in the past 50 years, with the proliferation of low cost carriers.
Derby Airways was the first company to fly from East Midlands. The firm later became British Midland which operated at the airport in the form of low cost airline BMI Baby until 2012.
In 2004, Ryanair began operations and the airport introduced self service check-in.
The airport hit global headlines in 2010 when a suspicious package discovered on a Chicago-bound cargo plane was found to contain explosives.
The package, which was a printer toner cartridge with wires attached, was addressed to two Jewish places of worship in the city.
East Midlands, which employs about 7,000 people across its entire site, is the UK base for carrier services DHL, TNT and UPS and is the main air hub for Royal Mail.
The airport, which is owned by Manchester Airports Group, is the busiest cargo airport in the UK, shifting more than 300,000 tonnes a year.
"Our long term plan is to grow to about 10m passengers and 1m tonnes of freight. We're ambitious for our future," said Mr Cliffe.
A £12m terminal redevelopment is about to be completed at the airport

Laura Matthews, 29, was told her signature - "L. Skywalker" - infringed a trademark in July this year.
She was issued with the document several weeks later, after threatening to take legal action.
But she has now been told the passport was issued in error and has been cancelled.
Ms Matthews told the BBC the decision has left her feeling "upset, frustrated and disappointed".
A Home Office spokesman said: "Protecting the integrity of the UK passport is vital and we do not accept a change of name for frivolous reasons."
In a letter to Ms Matthews, the Passport Office said its "published guidance provides that we will refuse to recognise a change of name... if it is made for a bet or frivolous purpose.
"Additionally, in your case, the signature used in the passport is different to your surname and by your own admission was done for 'a laugh'".
"Regrettably, an error was made in issuing your passport," the letter said.
"I am sorry that the error was made but I have to inform you that your passport will be cancelled."
Ms Matthews, from Southend in Essex, added the middle name using a deed poll in 2008 "for a bit of fun".
She had not renewed her passport since adding the moniker, and experienced several weeks of delays when she tried to do so in April.
She was told the delays were because her signature "infringed a trademark".
Her passport was issued at the end of August after she contacted a law firm specialising in intellectual property law and said she would take legal action unless her application was approved.
Ms Matthews said this was the fourth time the Passport Office had changed its mind about her case.
"Now I'm not sure if it's my signature they have a problem with, or my middle name," she said.
"All I know it's extremely disappointing that I've been let down again by an organisation which doesn't seem to know if it's coming or going.
"I don't think I'm going to be able to fight it. I don't know what else I can do."
The Home Office spokesman added: "We have apologised to the applicant and agreed to meet the cost of a new passport in a name that meets the published guidance." | A woman who added Skywalker as a middle name has had her passport cancelled after being told her application was "frivolous". | 30307102 | [

Alexander Ankvab reportedly retreated to his home town Gudauta, 40km (25 miles) away, when talks with the opposition broke down.
Many people in the Russian-backed region are unhappy with the ailing economy and lack of reforms.
But Abkhazian nationalist feeling is also fuelling the unrest.
By Michael CecireForeign Policy Research Institute
The 2014 Sochi Olympics were billed as a way of boosting the economy by bringing tourism to Abkhazia or sourcing materials for construction, but the most noticeable effect was actually a source of frustration: the expanded security cordon that penetrated beyond the Russia-Abkhazia border.
Some economic problems can certainly be attributed to the de facto government, but it is Russia that has the real power to improve conditions. For example, the Moscow-financed building boom in Chechnya has improved material conditions (even if human rights remain a deep problem), but nothing comparable has happened in Abkhazia.
However, the opposition's chief point of contention is Alexander Ankvab's more liberal (relatively speaking) policy towards ethnic Georgians in Abkhazia. He has advocated more fully integrating them, granting them Abkhazian "citizenship". The opposition has painted this as a purely political ploy to expand his electoral base and say it could endanger Abkhazia's ethnic Abkhazian identity.
Analysis: Unrest in Abkhazia
The protesters are led by Raul Khadzhimba, a former prime minister and vice-president of Abkhazia, who was defeated by Mr Ankvab in elections in August 2011.
The Black Sea coastal region is recognised as a state only by Russia and a few other countries. It broke away from Georgia after a civil war more than 20 years ago and declared formal independence in 2008. Since then, it has relied militarily and financially on Russia.
Russia is reportedly sending two senior officials, presidential aide Vladislav Surkov and deputy security council secretary Rashid Nurgaliyev, to Sukhumi in response to the crisis.
Opinion among the opposition is said to be divided between those who want Abkhazia to rely less on Russia and those who instead want it to become part of Russia.
Mr Ankvab accused the opposition of attempting a coup on Tuesday and said the security forces remained "loyal to the state" and were "taking measures to stabilise the situation".
Raul Khadzhimba defended the protests, saying: "Over all the years of his rule the president did not allow anybody in his circle to do their work.
"He took upon himself everybody's responsibilities on their behalf, whether he should or should not have been doing this. That led to our country in fact becoming an authoritarian regime.
In a statement, the Russian foreign ministry said: "The Russian side is following events closely and with concern... and considers it important that socio-political processes develop exclusively along legal lines." | The president of the breakaway Georgian region of Abkhazia is said to have fled the capital Sukhumi after opposition protesters seized his office. | 27600919 | [

The National Police Chiefs' Council said a "significant number of calls" had been received after several former players alleged past abuse by coaches.
Its figures are also based on details from existing investigations as well as referrals from a new NSPCC helpline.
Greater Manchester Police said it was investigating reports from 35 people, and had identified 10 suspects.
Assistant Chief Constable Debbie Ford said the force had received calls on a daily basis from victims as well as people with concerns.
"We are currently in the process of speaking to victims in person and providing them with specialist support," she added.
Meanwhile, Devon and Cornwall Police and Warwickshire Police have become the latest forces to confirm they are investigating claims.
The 17 forces looking into allegations of historical child sex abuse in football also include the Metropolitan Police, North Yorkshire Police, Police Scotland and Cheshire Police.
The NSPCC says more than 860 people have called its dedicated football hotline, set up a week ago.
Within the first three days of it launching, the charity made more than 60 referrals to a range of agencies across the UK.
That was more than three times as many referrals as in the first three days of the Jimmy Savile scandal, the charity added.
The phone line is available 24 hours a day on 0800 023 2642.

How do you talk to your children about sexual abuse?
The Football Association has announced an internal review and a number of football clubs are conducting their own inquiries.
Outlining the police action to date, NPCC lead for Child Protection, Chief Constable Simon Bailey said the number of victims was "an indicative figure only", and with information still being collated numbers could change.
He said some of the cases being investigated had come from information supplied by forces across the UK to Operation Hydrant, set up in 2014 to oversee investigations into historical child sex abuse concerning prominent people.
"We are working closely with the Football Association to ensure the response to this significant and growing number of victims, at all levels of football, is co-ordinated effectively," he added.
"We continue to encourage those who have been the victim of child sexual abuse to report it, regardless of how long ago the abuse may have taken place."
He said all reports would be treated "sensitively and seriously".
The former Newcastle United footballer David Eatock has become the latest to say he was abused by coach George Ormond.
He told the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire show he had been groomed by Ormond, later to be jailed for six years, between the ages of 18 and 21.
Mr Eatock, now 40, was not part of the court case that saw Ormond convicted in 2002 of assaulting seven boys, but he has now filed a complaint to police.
Northumbria Police said it had launched Operation Tide into non-recent child abuse at Newcastle United.
The force said it had received "a number of reports" and club officials have met police.
New England football manager Gareth Southgate said a former teammate was among those to have spoken of abuse.
At his first news conference as England manager, Southgate revealed he had played alongside one of the footballers who has spoken out about being sexually abused in their youth - although he did not identify him.
Asked if he had been aware of any abuse going on, he said: "The reality of that, as they have said, is that they [abuse victims] haven't felt able to speak about that until this moment, and that's completely understandable."
There had been "enormous strides" made in protecting young players, he told reporters.

The children, who had previously lived in areas controlled by Boko Haram, were held in a military barracks in the north-eastern city of Maiduguri, a UN spokesman told the BBC.
Details of the children's ages and the length of their detention have not been given.
The army has not made any comment.
Human rights groups argue that there is no proper legal process for civilians, including children, who are detained by the army as part of their counter-insurgency operations.
"We fear that there are still kids who are being at least temporarily detained because they are being released from Boko Haram areas by the army but then kept for a while," Manuel Fontaine, regional director for the UN Children's fund (Unicef) in Central and West Africa, told Reuters news agency.
Earlier this month, 21 of the more than 200 Chibok schoolgirls abducted by Boko Haram two years ago were released and reunited with their families.
Nigeria has been fighting a seven-year insurgency against Boko Haram, with the army retaking much of the territory under the Islamist militants' control in the past 20 months.

Rockstar have announced the game's release has been delayed until 24 March.
The latest version of the open world adventure was due to go on sale on 27 January.
A statement from Rockstar said: "The game requires a few extra weeks of testing and polish to make it as good as can be."
"Moving a release date is never a decision we take lightly and is a choice we make only when we know it is in the best interests of the game and our fans.
"Thanks everyone for your understanding and we assure you these few extra weeks will be worth it when the game does arrive in March."
It's not all bad news though. The company announced that eagerly-awaited online heists are coming to consoles before the PC release date.
Screenshots from the PC version of GTA V have been released, with Rockstar promising "even greater levels of detail".
Los Santos and Blaine County will be visible in 1080p at 60fps, with up to 4K resolution and support for up to triple monitor configurations.
While you're waiting for the game to be released you can make sure your PC is up to scratch.
Minimum specifications required to run GTA V have also been published.
Grand Theft Auto V became the fastest-selling entertainment product ever when it was released on 17 September 2013, taking just three days to generate $1bn (£620m) in revenue.

The International Cycling Union (UCI) said it was "extremely unhappy" with the poster which shows a hand moving towards a girl's backside.
"We have reminded the organiser of its responsibility," said a UCI statement.
The poster mimics the antics of 2014 winner Peter Sagan who pinched a podium girl at the 2013 Tour of Flanders.
Although the UCI press release states that organisers have agreed to remove the poster, which also carries the tagline, 'Who squeezes them in Harelbeke?', it is still being used to promote the event on social media.
In 2014 UCI president Brian Cookson described a cycling team's kit as "unacceptable by any standards" after it appeared to make the female riders look naked.
Photos of the Colombian team's outfit for the Giro della Toscana in Italy showed what seemed to be a skin-coloured fabric around their waist and hips and caused controversy on social media.
The E3 Harelbeke, which is on 27 March this year, starts and finishes in Harelbeke and covers 210kms of the Flanders region.
The race is part of the UCI World Tour and is regarded as a preparation for the seven Spring Classics which include the Tour of Flanders.. | Cycling's governing body has condemned E3 Harelbeke organisers for a controversial billboard poster that promotes this year's race in Belgium. | 31647373 | [

Brunon Kwiecien, 48, was convicted of planning a terrorist attack, illegal weapons possession and inciting two students to carry out an attack.
He suggested he had been manipulated by Polish intelligence agents.
Kwiecien was said to be fascinated with Norwegian mass killer Anders Behring Breivik.
Right-wing extremist Breivik killed 77 people in a bombing and shooting rampage in Norway in July 2011.
Kwiecien, a former professor at Krakow's University of Agriculture, was arrested in 2012.
Investigators believe he wanted to target parliament with four tonnes of explosives while then-President Bronislaw Komorowski and former Prime Minister Donald Tusk were due to attend, the trial heard.
"If Brunon Kwiecien hadn't been stopped, we would be talking amid the ruins of the state today," said judge Aleksandra Almert, according to the AFP agency.
While admitting he planned to carry out the attack, he also said he was subject to "provocation" by the intelligence services.
Kwiecien is the first Pole to be accused of terrorism, Polish media reported. He has no known links to established extremist groups. | A Polish university lecturer has been sentenced to 13 years in jail for plotting to ram a car packed with explosives into parliament. | 35159074 | [

Johnson scored 15 goals in 41 games for the Heed this season, having signed in July 2015 following his release by Championship side Cardiff City.
The 23-year-old has also previously had spells with Stevenage and Tranmere.
"If you have someone who is capable of scoring goals, then it's important that you re-sign him," manager Neil Aspin told the club website.
"At the age he is, I believe he can get better, too."

The ruling is likely to encourage thousands of passengers with similar claims in the UK.
Jet2 argued the compensation payments should be delayed pending the outcome of a similar case in the Netherlands.
But the judge at Liverpool County Court ruled that "a line should now be drawn. Justice delayed is justice denied".
The EU has ruled that airlines must pay compensation for delayed flights, but a number of airlines have yet to pay out.
Four airlines in the UK have made applications to delay payments: Jet2, Thomas Cook, Ryanair and WizzAir.
The Jet2 case heard in Liverpool involved Kim Allen, who claimed €400 (£292) compensation after an almost seven-hour delay when flying from Manchester to Malaga in 2012.
"We've all been kept waiting for so long, but I'm really happy with today's decision," she said after the judge's ruling.
"Hopefully now it's time for the airlines to pay us what the law says they should."
Her solicitor, Kevin Clarke from Bott & Co, said he hoped "the airlines will now finally face up to their obligations to passengers and to settle the hundreds of thousands of legitimate claims outstanding.
"Sadly, the history of their conduct over the last decade would tell us to expect yet another legal challenge."
The issue stems from the 2004 European regulations that oblige airlines, in some cases, to pay compensation to passengers for cancellations and delays, if they are not due to extraordinary circumstances.
A further ruling by the European Court of Justice in 2009 confirmed that delayed passengers should be treated as if their flights had been cancelled, if the delay was longer than three hours, entitling them to cash compensation.
Despite the ruling, a number of airlines in the UK are still arguing that some technical problems should be classified as extraordinary circumstances, and as such, no compensation should be due.
They have also argued that paying compensation for delays of three hours or more is disproportionate and too great a burden. | A county court judge has ruled that airline Jet2.com cannot delay the payment of compensation due to passengers for delayed flights. | 31641645 | [

The DeirEzzor24 website reported that an unidentified jet had dropped cluster bombs on Dablan, about 20km (13 miles) south-east of the town of Mayadin.
The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights put the death toll at 30.
It comes only two days after a US-led coalition strike reportedly killed 42 detainees at an IS prison near Mayadin.
The coalition confirmed it had targeted "IS command-and-control elements" in the area on Monday, but said the raid had been "meticulously planned" to avoid harming civilians.
There was no immediate comment from the coalition on Wednesday's reported attack. The Russian and Syrian air forces also fly sorties in the region.
At the start of June, the coalition said its 21,035 air strikes in Syria and Iraq since 2014 had unintentionally killed at least 484 civilians. However, human rights groups believe the true figure is far higher.
Airwars, an organisation that tracks allegations of civilian deaths, said that as of 8 June, the coalition had killed at least 4,118 civilians and perhaps more than 16,000.
DeirEzzor24 said the house of a person not connected to IS appeared to have been targeted, and that several nearby buildings had also been destroyed.
Women and children were among those killed, it added, warning that the death toll was likely to rise because of the serious condition of some of the injured.
Mayadin, which lies in the Euphrates river valley about 45km (28 miles) south-east of the city of Deir al-Zour, has been targeted frequently by coalition aircraft.
US intelligence officials believe IS moved most of its leaders to the town in recent months as Iraqi government forces advanced into the Iraqi city of Mosul and a US-backed alliance of Kurdish and Arab fighters encircled the Syrian city of Raqqa.
Meanwhile at least 173 civilians and possibly many more have been killed in air and ground operations against IS this month in Raqqa itself, the UN's human rights chief said.
As many as 100,000 civilians were trapped in Raqqa and were being prevented from leaving by IS, Zeid Ra'ad al-Hussein said.
"Civilians must not be sacrificed for the sake of rapid military victories," he said.
The intense bombardment of the city had reportedly left them "terrified and confused about where they can seek refuge", he added. | At least 15 civilians have been killed and dozens injured in an air strike on a village in eastern Syria held by so-called Islamic State, activists say. | 40430120 | [

The retailer has been under fire over zero hours contracts and disclosure that staff at a warehouse were paid less than the minimum wage.
Independent shareholders had called for changes to the way the company was run.
Sources told the BBC that Mr Forsey was "not coerced", and that Mr Ashley is a permanent replacement, not temporary.
The billionaire businessman has given up his role as executive deputy chairman.
BBC business correspondent Joe Lynam said sources told him that the shake-up was not part of a plan to take Sports Direct private.
There has been speculation that, following months of criticism of the company, Mr Ashley wanted to remove Sports Direct from the stock market.
Mr Ashley, who owns more than 50% of the company, said in a statement: "I feel like I have lost my right arm, but I do hope to have the opportunity to work with Dave again in the future."
Mr Forsey has worked for the retailer for 32 years after starting as a part-time worker when he was 18.
Earlier this year he agreed to forgo a £3.7m share award in recognition of the problems at the company.
Mr Forsey said: "I have given my entire working life to the company and in return the company has given me amazing opportunities and experiences."
Sports Direct's board made two other changes, promoting Karen Byers to the role of global head of operations, and Sean Nevitt to the role of global head of commercial.
Amid criticism over Sports Direct's working practices and bad publicity, there had been calls by shareholders for the removal of chairman Keith Hellawell.
The company, which has around 450 retail outlets, came under the spotlight after an investigation uncovered that staff were kept on site at its giant Shirebrook warehouse in Derbyshire after their shifts for body searches.
These took so long that their pay effectively dipped below the minimum wage.
Mr Ashley, Sports Direct's billionaire founder, was called to answer questions from MPs, who compared working practices at the warehouse with "that of a Victorian workhouse than that of a modern High Street retailer".
In the wake of that, the sportswear chain's lawyers produced a critical report of its working conditions.
The company was criticised for its use of zero hours contracts. It says it will offer workers who want them guaranteed hours. It also said it would put a worker on the board.
That report also criticised Mr Forsey for failing to inform the Sports Direct board about some of the issues at Shirebrook.
But calls for an independent review continued and earlier this week, Sports Direct said it would authorise such a study of working practices and corporate governance, following concerns raised by shareholders.
Mr Ashley denied knowing much about the way Shirebrook operated, telling the BBC: "You'd be surprised how little I knew of what was going on."
Like so many in the company's hierarchy, Karen Byers, Sports Direct's new global head of operations met founder Mike Ashley informally and has known him a very long time.
She's been with the company for more than 20 years and it is said she got the job after trying to sell Mike Ashley a pair of jeans. Despite being head of retail at a publicly-listed retail giant with 30,000 employees for much at that time, she's very low profile indeed.
Earlier this year Mike Ashley himself singled her out in a rare interview he gave to the Times newspaper: "Karen Byers runs Sports Direct. She runs the retail, all the money comes out the retail, [the warehouse workers and store managers] are her army. She is the person who sets the rules. Not me."
One investment analyst firm said she was well regarded inside the company and out. The same firm though said she was not known for her "flowery or evasive approach". Just like her boss.
Paul Blomfield, a member of the Business Innovation and Skills committee which grilled Mike Ashley in June, is not convinced by the changes: "What our committee wanted to happen was for the company to seriously address what was, not just problems around the edges, but systemic labour exploitation in the workplace. And whether Mr Ashley is the person to do that - given the evidence he gave to our committee - is yet to be seen."
Mike Fox, from shareholder Royal London Asset Management, wasn't impressed with Friday's board changes either: "The installation of Mike Ashley as chief executive, consolidating his influence at the top of the business, is unlikely to reassure anyone."
He said the way the company was run had long been a problem and that Sports Direct still needed a new chairman before it could rebuild trust with investors.
Sarah Wilson, chief executive of shareholder pressure group, Manifest, told BBC Radio 5 live the move added another corporate governance problem: "Are we going to see [Mike Ashley] step down from his other job as deputy chairman?
"Had Mike Ashley listened to shareholders four or five years ago, we might not be in the situation we're in at the moment."
She said the company's actions were not just damaging to shareholders but "undermined the general public's perception of capitalism - full stop".
Nevertheless, market reaction suggests most investors were pleased that Mike Ashley would have a more direct role in the company and the shares were up about 5% in morning trade.
Mr Ashley's brash style is unorthodox for the founder and executive of a leading UK company. The owner of Newcastle United football club was photographed with a wad of cash when he took shareholders and journalists on a tour of the Shirebrook site after the shareholders' meeting.
He also revealed that he travels to work by helicopter. The company employs Mike Ashley's daughter's boyfriend to run its property arm.
Financially, the company is not in a good place.
The company's shares have fallen by 50% this year, and earlier this month Sports Direct warned that that profits next year would be down on this year. | The founder and majority owner of Sports Direct, Mike Ashley, has stepped in as chief executive after the surprise resignation of Dave Forsey. | 37448915 | [

The new College of Policing guidance is designed to help officers prosecute without relying on victims' evidence.
It also advises senior officers about the need for specialist staff to deal with cases of abuse and ensure victims receive the best possible support.
David Tucker, from the college, said a change was needed within policing in attitudes towards domestic abuse.
The College of Policing guidance focuses on abusive relationship dynamics.
A new domestic abuse offence of "coercive and controlling behaviour" within relationships is expected to come into force later this year, after it was unveiled by Home Secretary Theresa May last year.
This type of behaviour can include the abuser preventing their victim from having friendships or hobbies, refusing them access to money and determining many aspects of their everyday life.
The college is releasing a "toolkit" for officers who are first at the scene of an incident, as well as checklists for call handlers and counter staff in police stations for when they are contacted about domestic abuse.
Mr Tucker, head of the college's crime and criminal justice faculty, said: "Our research indicated the need for a culture change within policing attitudes towards domestic abuse.
"Sometimes police cannot understand why a victim would stay in an abusive relationship.
"There are dozens of reasons why victims feel unable to leave or support prosecution.
"It is the responsibility of the perpetrator to stop the abuse and the responsibility of the police to bring the perpetrator to justice - the victim is not responsible for either."
He said police needed to investigate domestic abuse "pro-actively" and should be "properly trained".
Polly Neale, chief executive of the charity Women's Aid, said it was "vital" that police officers understood coercive control to help them identify victims.
Diana Barran, from the charity SafeLives, said the new guidance was "a huge step forward in helping police to understand the complex nature of domestic abuse and - in particular - coercive control". | Police officers in England and Wales are to get specialist advice on how to spot patterns of domestic abuse. | 34309575 | [

The 29-year-old Irishman is expected to formally sign for the Scottish Premiership club next week on his return from holiday.
Sammon has negotiated an early release from his contract with the English Championship club.
His deal is due to expire on 30 June, but Hearts need to register players for the Europa League 10 days before that.
Sammon, who had a previous spell in Scotland's top flight with Kilmarnock, spent last season on loan to Sheffield United in League One, scoring six times in 33 appearances.
Having switched to Derby for £1.2m from Wigan Athletic in 2012, he was also farmed out to Championship rivals Ipswich Town and Rotherham United after falling out of favour in the last two years and has not been offered a new deal.
Sammon had joined Wigan, then in England's top flight, in 2011 after they had paid Kilmarnock about £600,000 for his services in January 2011.
He had spent two and a half years at Rugby Park after arriving from Derry City and scored 25 goals in 75 games for the Ayrshire outfit.
Sammon, who had also been linked with Aberdeen this summer, has been capped nine times by Republic of Ireland but failed to make their squad for the Euro 2016 finals.
Hearts had signed Abiola Dauda in January to replace Osman Sow, who was sold to Chinese club Henan Jianye, but the Nigerian has returned to Vitesse Arnhem after scoring five times in 15 appearances during his loan spell. | Conor Sammon has agreed a three-year contract with Hearts as the striker prepares to leave Derby County. | 36455029 | [

Ai has accused Lego of "censorship and discrimination" after it refused his bulk order for bricks for a new exhibition in Melbourne, Australia.
Lego said it has never sold directly to anyone wanting to use its product to make a political statement.
The artist will now use the donated toy bricks to make a "new work".
"In response to Lego's refusal and the overwhelming public response, Ai Weiwei has now decided to make a new work to defend freedom of speech and 'political art'," said a post on the artist's Instagram account on Monday.
"Ai Weiwei Studio will announce the project description and Lego collection points in different cities. This is the first phase of the coming projects."
Further posts pictured a red car labelled, "the first Lego container", and a photo of Lego bricks inside the car, accompanied by the words, "the morning droppings".
Ai used Lego last year to create portraits of 175 dissident figures who had been jailed or exiled, from Nelson Mandela to Edward Snowden, on the site of the former Alcatraz prison near San Francisco.
He planned a similar work for the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne, but a bulk order placed by the museum was rejected by the Danish company.
The Chinese artist said the company told the museum its bricks could not be used for artworks containing "any political, religious, racist, obscene or defaming statements".
Referring to The Lego Movie's slogan "everything is awesome", Ai wrote on Twitter: "Lego will tell us what to do, or not to do. That is awesome!"
He added: "Lego is giving us the definition of what is 'political', and all the big corporations are telling us what to love or hate. That is awesome."
In an earlier Instagram post, he wrote: "As a commercial entity, Lego produces and sells toys, movies and amusement parks attracting children across the globe.
"As a powerful corporation, Lego is an influential cultural and political actor in the globalized economy with questionable values.
"Lego's refusal to sell its product to the artist is an act of censorship and discrimination."
Lego spokesman Roar Rude Trangbaek would not comment directly on the case but said that, as a principle, Lego "respects any individual's right to free, creative expression".
The artist also linked Lego's stance with plans for a new Legoland in Shanghai.
Lego said the theme park was being built by Merlin Entertainment and not Lego, but that Lego does have some ties with Merlin because it uses the Lego brand.
Ai Weiwei is known for his criticism of the Chinese government as well as for being one of the world's leading contemporary artists.
Many fans have utilised Lego to help show their support for the artist on social media. One used the toy bricks to spell out the words "I support Ai Weiwei", while others offered to let the artist borrow their collection, adding, "we won't be buying more". | Artist Ai Weiwei is setting up "Lego collection points" in different cities after being inundated with offers of donations from supporters. | 34636319 | [

Aaron Lewis, 26 and from Toxteth, was shot three times outside Anna Jungs in Grosvenor Road, Wavertree at about 19:00 GMT on Wednesday.
He was taken to Aintree Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
Merseyside Police believe the offender ran down the road towards the city centre and said the shooting was related to organised crime.
Officers said Mr Lewis was known to them.
At about 19:40, a 19-year-old man went to hospital with a gunshot wound to his upper body.
His condition is not thought to be life-threatening and detectives believe he had been with Mr Lewis.
The latest death follows the fatal shooting of Thomas Baker at Stanley Meat Market in Old Swan on Friday and highlighted a "serious escalation" of gang violence in Liverpool, police said.
Police said that while both deaths were related to serious and organised crime, the shootings were not linked.
In addition to Mr Baker and Mr Lewis, Mark Hillman and Blake Brown have been killed in the city.
A police spokesman said gun crime had increased in recent months after falling year on year from 2013 to 2016.
Since April, 78 firearms have been discharged, 18 more than in the whole of the previous 12 months.
An increasing number of new guns are being used, the spokesman added, and officers do not know how or where gangs are obtaining them.
Police said the majority of shootings this year were linked to organised crime and the victims will not co-operate with officers.
Liverpool Mayor Joe Anderson and Wavertree MP Luciana Berger have joined forces with Merseyside Police to appeal for public help.
Ms Berger said: "We as a community need to work together to help end this violence on our streets."
Mr Anderson said: "By coming together as a city we can send out a powerful message to the perpetrators that they will be found and... punished."
A series of warrants are being executed across Liverpool as part of a planned crackdown on gun crime, but no weapons have been recovered. | A man has been shot dead in a "cold-blooded, targeted attack" outside a Liverpool chip shop, police said. | 38838123 | [

Speaking in an interview with BBC Newsnight, Ross McEwan said the uncertainty caused by the EU vote could "slow down banking".
He said he would like the referendum to be held as early as possible, ideally in June.
Mr McEwan added that he does not expect an interest rate rise before 2017.
The UK is due to hold a referendum on whether or not to stay in the European Union, before the end of 2017.
In an interview with Newsnight's Kirsty Wark Mr McEwan said he had seen no "economic data that suggests we'd be better off out in the short to medium term".
He said unpredictability around the referendum was causing problems for the UK's banks.
"The issue we've got is the uncertainty which slows businesses down, which will over time slow down banking so it's... really good that the government is trying to have the vote very quickly."
On interest rates, Mr McEwan said he sees no prospect of any rise from the Bank of England in the near future.
"We're going to have lower interest rates for a lot longer than was anticipated… I don't think [we'll have rate rises] for all this year and possibly all of 2017 as well.
"We just have to get used to an environment where we have low interest rates for a long period of time."
Mr McEwan suggested RBS had turned a corner under his leadership, but that it was likely the firm would post its eighth consecutive years of losses later this month.
The bank has set aside considerable sums to pay for US-imposed fines over mis-selling of mortgage-backed securities and payment protection insurance (PPI) payments.
In line with other banks the share price of RBS has declined by nearly 45% in a year. The firm remains largely in public hands, with the British government owning a 73% stake, after a £45bn ($65bn) bailout in 2008.
Chancellor George Osborne sold 5% of its stake last August, making a loss. The share price has fallen still further since then.
Asked if the British taxpayer is likely to get its £45bn back, Mr McEwan said: "At this rate no… We'd love to get that money back to the public because it's the public's money.
"But at the time, if they hadn't saved RBS then a lot of the financial services in the UK would have probably collapsed."

Reyaad Khan, 21, died in an RAF drone strike targeting Islamic State militants in Syria last August.
David Cameron told MPs on Tuesday the attack was "necessary and proportionate" to protect the UK.
Ms Harman said such action outside a war zone was a "new departure" and needed to be "properly accountable".
In September, the prime minister announced that Khan and Ruhul Amin, from Aberdeen, had been killed by a UK drone strike in Syria.
MPs have since voted to authorise UK air strikes in the war-torn country.
Questioned by MPs on the Commons Liaison committee on Tuesday, Mr Cameron defended the drone attack which killed Khan and Amin as "necessary and proportionate".
He said the UK was currently engaged in an operation against a terrorist group that intends to "blow up, kill and maim our citizens".
Ms Harman, a member of the committee, told BBC Radio Wales on Wednesday she was concerned at the lack of oversight of the operation.
"If you're a member of the armed forces, you kill somebody in a military situation, that is legal and defensible and because you're in an armed conflict situation," she said.
"But where we were in Syria, where Reyaad Khan was targeted and killed, we were not actually in a war conflict situation there.
"It was just a targeted, what's called extra-judicial killing."
She added: "The idea of killing somebody in an area where the security services have targeted them and military carries out the killing, that is a new departure.
"The Americans have done it for quite a long time but we've not done it before.
"If the police kill somebody in the line of duty, here in this country, it's automatically referred to the independent police and crime commissioner, not because there's an automatic assumption they've done something wrong.
"With the taking of a life you must make absolutely sure that it was the right person, that the evidence was sufficient, that they did it in such a way that it didn't kill innocent bystanders and that has to be looked at afterwards." | Labour's former acting leader Harriet Harman has questioned whether the "extra-judicial killing" of a Cardiff jihadist can be properly justified. | 35301650 | [

Archery, fencing, weightlifting and wheelchair rugby have also missed out.
Cycling - which brought Team GB 12 medals in Rio - has had its funding cut by more than £4m to £25.98m.
Badminton England chief executive Adrian Christy said he was "staggered" by the "incomprehensible" decision to remove the sport's funding.
A total of £345m will be invested in 31 Olympic and Paralympic sports - £2m less than the record £347m allocated for the Rio Games.
As a result, UK Sport has set Team GB a target of winning 51-85 Olympic medals, and 115-162 Paralympic medals in Tokyo.
Britain enjoyed unprecedented success at Rio 2016, with the Olympics yielding 67 medals and the Paralympics 147.
Chair of UK Sport Rod Carr said the government, which provides funding alongside National Lottery money, has "confirmed its commitment" for Tokyo 2020.
He added: "These are critical funding decisions for sports to take them on their journey to Tokyo 2020 and beyond so the historic success at Rio can be maintained."
Badminton, which was set a target of winning a medal in Rio, is the only sport that earned a podium place in the summer to have its funding removed.
Marcus Ellis and Chris Langridge took bronze in the men's doubles after the sport was given £5.74m in the last cycle.
Christy said the decision represents a "catastrophic impact on the sport" and Badminton England would "fight for the hopes and dreams" of its players.
"How can you return from the best Games for more than a decade, in a year where our players have demonstrated world-class performances and where we can demonstrate the journey to Tokyo is on track, only be to have every penny of investment withdrawn?" he said.
"What have we done wrong?" added GB Badminton's performance director Jon Austin.
Judo, which was given the same target as badminton and also claimed one bronze medal, has had its funding increased slightly.
Liz Nicholl, CEO of UK Sport, said the decision to cut funding was not taken lightly.
"We would like to invest in every sport but the reality is we have to prioritise to protect and enhance the medal potential," she said.
"If we under-invest across the board then the British teams will ultimately underperform at the Games and medal success will be put at risk."
Sports minister Tracey Crouch added: "UK Sport's approach to elite sport has proven successful in Beijing, London and Rio and the ambition to win more medals in Tokyo is a bold one that, if achieved, would mean a sensational summer of sport in 2020."
Basketball had its funding withdrawn in 2014 - and handball and volleyball lost theirs in 2012 - but say a UK Sport review last year to build "performance pathways for future success" was supposed to be aimed at such sports.
A British Basketball statement, in conjunction with volleyball and handball, said: "It appears that UK Sport has no interest in team sports and in particular refuses to take responsibility for the need to fund their performance development, which was identified in its own review.
"With UK Sport's investment budget approaching £350m, it borders on intransigence to pass responsibility to government and other funding bodies who are not set up to fund the development of high-performance sport."
UK Sport says investment in the five Olympic sports and two Paralympic sports added for Tokyo 2020 is yet to be confirmed.
Baseball/softball will return to the programme, with karate, skateboard, sports climbing and surfing also added, while Para-taekwondo and Para-badminton join the Paralympic programme.
UK Sport says funding will be determined "following further exploration of medal potential", with £9m of the £345m total still to be allocated.
Liam Carroll, head coach of the GB baseball team, said: "The key to unlocking our potential is investment and I'm pleased that UK Sport has left the door open.
"We look forward to the opportunity to impress upon them that getting behind Great Britain Baseball can extend their tremendous track record of investing in Olympic medal contenders." | Badminton is one of five sports to lose all UK Sport funding for the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo - after Britain claimed a bronze in the sport in Rio. | 38260939 | [

Five Saudis, reportedly including a prince, were detained at Beirut's airport after two tonnes of pills branded as Captagon were found in cases due to be loaded onto a private jet.
It was the largest drug smuggling operation yet uncovered at the airport.
Captagon pills, which typically contain amphetamine and caffeine, are consumed widely in the Middle East.
The drug has helped fuel the conflict in Syria, generating millions of dollars in revenue for producers inside the country as well as being used by combatants to help them keep fighting.
NNA reported that 40 bags of Captagon pills were found by inspectors from the Gendarmerie in cases due to be put on board a jet bound for Hael, in northern Saudi Arabia.
It did not identify the Saudi citizens who were detained, but sources told the Associated Press and the AFP news agency that they included a Saudi prince.
In April 2014, Lebanese security forces foiled an attempt to smuggle 15 million Captagon pills hidden in shipping containers full of corn from Beirut's seaport, according to AFP.
Captagon, originally the trade name for the synthetic stimulant fenetylline, was first produced in the 1960s to treat hyperactivity, narcolepsy and depression.
However, it was banned in most countries by the 1980s because of it was too addictive.
In 2013, the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) said 64% of global seizures of amphetamine took place in the Middle East, and that most of the amphetamine was in the form of Captagon pills. | The Lebanese authorities have foiled an attempt to smuggle a huge quantity of drugs to Saudi Arabia, officials say. | 34640310 | [

That scenario once seemed beyond the reach of clubs that were being weighed down by the heedless spending of the past and drastic changes in the financial landscape of the game.
What has brought about this shift, though? And what does it mean to the individual clubs and the state of Scottish football itself?
There are a number of questions to ask about how the debt has been shed and what the impact might be.
In terms of bank debt, essentially all are free of long-term liabilities now that Aberdeen have reached a deal with Lloyds Bank.
Dundee United and Kilmarnock reached similar agreements last season, while Motherwell and St Mirren have been operating at more or less break even for a number of years. That said, the former often need the financial support of major shareholder John Boyle at points in the season and have been operating at a loss.
Celtic have no bank debt and their interim results for the financial year to 31 December showed a surplus in the bank, while, through long-term planning, St Johnstone, Inverness Caledonian Thistle and Hamilton Academical are all free of bank debt.
Dundee received investment from a US consortium and are now managed carefully financially, as are Partick Thistle, while Ross County's progress has been enabled by the largesse of the owner Roy MacGregor.
Essentially, because Lloyds Bank had already written off the debts and there was no prospect of clubs ever being able to pay it back in full.
Clubs have been fortunate that when Lloyds took over HBoS in January 2009 it provided a window of opportunity for the new owners to review all the debt on the bank's books. Any that was declared bad could then be written off in the accounts.
With Scottish football unable to generate rising income streams - indeed, the league is still currently operating without a title sponsor - clubs saddled with large debts were ultimately able only to service them.
Kilmarnock, for instance, owed £9.4m, having invested in the building of the Park Hotel next to Rugby Park. Last season, with the hotel valued at around £2.5m, it was sold to a company owned by Billy Bowie, with the businessman then converting the balance of the bank debt into equity.
As a result of the restructuring, chairman Michael Johnston's 87% stake was reduced to below 50% and he was joined on the club board by Bowie and three new investors: Jim Mann, David Moran and Russell Smith.
Yes, the bank's debt is being bought by Willie and Elaine Donald, who own the Stonehaven-based engineering company, WM Donald.
Whatever sum the bank receives towards the approximately £9m debt is more than they expected, since in accountancy terms it was written off five years ago. The Donalds will likely convert the debt to equity at some stage and join the Aberdeen board.
By wiping out the bank debt, Aberdeen have a little more financial freedom and can direct more resources to investing in the football side of the business.
To an extent. The club will still have to operate at break even, since banks are no longer lending to clubs. They have to live within their means now that sources of credit have reduced or, as with the case of some clubs, disappeared completely.
There will be more money available to Aberdeen since they will not have to service the debt any more, but it will not mean a drastic increase in available finance. Manager Derek McInnes won't be about to embark upon a spending spree.
Dundee United will feel less constrained now, since selling assets was part of their agreed strategy with the bank to meet repayments. There is no essential need to accept offers for young players each summer, so the club can hold out for higher fees.
The bank will have protected itself to an extent so that the debt reduction deal wasn't agreed only for the club to suddenly sell a batch of players and raise millions of pounds; percentages of future transfer fees will, until the end of next August, still go to the bank.
Similarly, other clubs will not suddenly be able to sell their stadium having just agreed to a debt reduction deal. The bank was in a position to do these deals out of necessity but also desire, since there is no wish to be involved in football any more. There are also community and social benefits to striking the deals.
It is too early to tell, but the best case scenario is that clubs are no longer on the brink of financial collapse.
Also, there should be more leeway to try to hold on to their better young talents, although there must always be a recognition that English clubs will lure them south eventually.
It is also often good for the players' career to move to a higher level, but they can move too early and become lost in the reserve squads of clubs when staying for longer in Scottish football will help them develop and boost the game in Scotland. | Debt has become a rarity in Scottish football. | 30054170 | [

Hamilton's Mercedes was 0.264 seconds quicker than Vettel, with Rosberg 0.035secs further adrift.
Williams's Valtteri Bottas and Felipe Massa and Pastor Maldonado's Lotus left Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen in seventh.

McLaren's Fernando Alonso and Jenson Button were in unexpectedly high 13th and 14th places as others struggled.
Like McLaren, Red Bull and Toro Rosso will take penalties for using more than their permitted number of engines and it remains to be seen in which order these will leave the six drivers at the back of the grid.
Qualifying gets under way at 13:00 BST, with coverage on the BBC Sport website from 11:30 and on BBC Radio 5 live from 13:00.
There seems little doubt about who will be at the front after another imperious performance from Hamilton.
The world champion has looked untouchable so far this weekend and seems an almost certain bet for his 11th pole in 12 races this season.

After Friday practice, Rosberg admitted his team-mate had the edge and that he needed to work out how to match the Briton's pace through the final two corners at Ascari and Parabolica.
The German actually set the fastest time in the final part of the lap, which comprises the two demanding fast corners, but Hamilton edged him this time in the two chicanes and the Lesmo corners and remained tantalisingly out of reach.
Instead, Rosberg was surprisingly beaten by his compatriot Vettel, who showed an improvement in form after a difficult Friday as Ferrari chairman Sergio Marchionne was joined by Piero Ferrari - the son of founder Enzo - watching from the Ferrari garage.
Whether the red cars can maintain that pace once Mercedes turn up their engines for qualifying remains a different question.
Ferrari face stiff opposition from the Mercedes customer teams - Force India, Williams and Lotus for places behind the world champions at the front of the grid.
The prospects for two grand former champions, Red Bull and McLaren, are rather grimmer.
Both teams have engine partners in Renault and Honda who are failing in their struggle to match Mercedes, falling short in both reliability and performance.

And both - as well as fellow Renault customer Toro Rosso, the Red Bull junior team - are taking penalties for changing engine parts.
Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo was using a brand new engine that would add to the 25 grid positions worth of penalties he had already accrued, but that failed in the course of the session, team boss Christian Horner saying the problem was "terminal".
Earlier, Horner attempted to make a joke of the situation, saying the competition for who can take the most penalties was closer than that at the front of the grid.
Renault denied Horner's claim that a development engine might not appear this year. Horner said if it did appear it would be worth only 0.15secs a lap.
The French company is understood to be in the final stages of completing a deal to back control of the Lotus team, which it sold to investment group Genii Capital in 2009.

Two Diarmuid Murtagh goals helped Connacht lead 2-3 to 0-3 before Aidan Breen replied with an Ulster goal.
Damien Comer hit a third Connacht goal as they led 3-6 to 1-10 at half-time before Ulster took control.
Despite losing Chrissy McKaigue to a black card, Ulster hit 1-4 without reply, with Charlie Vernon netting.
McKaigue was joined in the Ulster squad at Carrick-on-Shannon by his Slaughtneil team-mate Brendan Rogers, despite their upcoming All-Ireland club championship duties.
Connacht started strongly with their scorer in chief Murtagh firing their opening goal after 7 minutes and again finding the net two minutes later.
Ulster responded well with Fermanagh's Breen finding the net for his provincial for the second time in a week with a 18th-minute goal.
Pete McGrath's charges cut the gap to two points twice over the next six minutes, and left the minimum between the sides for the first time, after a Tomas Corrigan score.
However, Connacht were causing the Ulster defence problems, with Galway's Comer cutting in for a 28th minute goal, as the hosts led by two at the break.
Ulster came fired up on the restart, and despite losing substitute McKaigue to a black card, kept motoring well.
Peter Harte and Corrigan added point before Vernon cut through for a goal in a spell which saw Ulster score 1-4 without reply.
Connacht could only manage two points from frees in the closing quarter, with Emyln Mulligan and Paul Conroy on target.

Adrian Ismay, 52, was seriously hurt after a booby-trap device exploded under his van in Belfast on 4 March.
The police said that a post-mortem examination showed he died as a "direct result of the injuries" of the bomb.
A dissident republican group, widely referred to as the new IRA, said it carried out the attack.
The organisation said Mr Ismay was targeted for training officers at Maghaberry Prison near Lisburn, County Antrim.
Sue McAllister, director general of the Northern Ireland Prison Service, spent time with the Ismay family on Wednesday.
She said they were "devastated and beyond shock at what's happened".
"Like all of us, they thought that he was on the mend and was doing really well," said Mrs McAllister.
"We thought he would make a full recovery, we expected him to come back to work in due course, so we're all shocked, but particularly Sharon and her daughters."
Mrs McAllister condemned the behaviour of some paramilitary inmates at Maghaberry Prison, who reportedly cheered, smoked cigars and mocked wardens at the high-security jail when news of Mr Ismay's death filtered through.
"This was just unacceptable behaviour by a very small number of prisoners," said Mrs McAllister.
"My colleagues in Maghaberry dealt with it professionally, with great fortitude and with the courage they display on a daily basis."
She admitted she and her colleagues in the Prison Service felt "very angry" on hearing the reports of the celebrations in the exercise yard of the prison.
"We encounter challenging behaviour by a small number of prisoners every day, and we deal with it with great professionalism and we do not stoop to behaving that way in response," she added.
A man appeared in court on Saturday charged in connection with the bomb attack on Mr Ismay.
Det Ch Insp Richard Campbell said it was "yet another difficult day for the Ismay family, his friends and colleagues as they struggle to come to terms with the events of the past 12 days".
He added: "We have spoken to the family this morning and advised them of this development.
"We are also liaising with the Public Prosecution Service in relation to the individual who is currently charged with attempted murder and causing an explosion with intent to endanger life."
The PSNI have also repeated an appeal for information on two cars that police believe may have been used by the bombers - a red Citroen C3 and a silver Skoda Fabia. | The PSNI has launched a murder inquiry into the death of a prison officer who died 11 days after being injured in a dissident republican bomb attack. | 35823798 | [

The EU's Brexit guidelines state that Irish border issues should be tackled before talks on a trade deal can begin.
Mr Davis said it was "wholly illogical" to think that the border issues can be separated from a trade deal.
He was speaking on ITV's Peston on Sunday.
Mr Davis said that the phasing of the negotiations would now be "the row of the summer".
The Brexit Secretary said that the UK is seeking a "very ambitious" trade deal with the EU, alongside a customs arrangement.
He said: "How on earth do you resolve the issue of the border unless you know what the customs agreement is, what the free trade agreement is, whether you need to charge tariffs at the border?"
Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams said that Mr Davis's remarks are "a direct challenge to the Irish government and to the negotiating stance that was outlined by Michel Barnier when he visited Dublin last week".
Mr Barnier, the EU's chief negotiator, reiterated the EU's preferred phasing in a speech to the Irish parliament, saying that "sufficient progress" must be made on the preliminary issues before moving onto a trade deal.
Mr Adams said Mr Davis's remarks "emphasise the need for the Irish government to urgently press the European Council to secure for the north special designated status within the EU".
Speaking in the Republic of Ireland on Friday, Tony Blair warned that a hard border on the island would be a "disaster".
The former UK prime minister told a meeting of MEPs in County Wicklow he believed there was a "common desire" to make Northern Ireland a "special case" in Brexit talks.
The UK and Irish governments have both said they do not want a return to customs posts on the border after the UK leave the EU.
The EU's negotiating guidelines call for a "flexible and creative" approach to the customs issue.
Mr Barnier visited a food export business in County Monaghan on Friday, saying that he wanted to "work with all these people on the ground to find solutions" to the border question.
He described the forthcoming Brexit talks as "extraordinary and very complex and difficult".
"This negotiation will not only be financial, legal or technical - in my view, it will first [be] human and social and economic," said the French politician.
On Thursday, Mr Barnier said the Irish border issue would be one of his three priorities in the negotiations, adding that he would work to avoid a hard border.
But he emphasised that there would have to be some form of customs controls as a result of Brexit. | The Brexit Secretary David Davis has said he does not accept that Irish border issues can be resolved in the first stage of the UK negotiation with the EU. | 39915364 | [

Sadiq Khan said Lord Toby Harris of Haringey would review the "capability, capacity and collaboration arrangements of every London agency".
Lord Harris, a former Met Police Authority chair and member of the joint committee on the National Security Strategy, said the review was "timely".
He will report his findings in summer.
Lord Harris said there was a "developing threat picture" and he would look at whether current arrangements could be "even more robust".
Mr Khan said Lord Harris would report on "what more could be done to ensure Londoners are kept safe".
The strategic review was one of his main manifesto promises. | The Mayor of London has appointed a security expert to assess how well the capital would cope with a major terror attack. | 36400861 | [

Graham Dwyer, 42, from the Foxrock suburb of south Dublin, pleaded not guilty to the murder of Elaine O'Hara.
The remains of Ms O'Hara, 36, were found in the Dublin mountains on 13 September 2013.
She was last seen on 22 August 2012, the day of her alleged murder, near Shanganagh cemetery in south Dublin.
The judge said 40 days of evidence, stretching back over five years, boils down to what happened in the three hours after Ms O'Hara vanished.
He told the seven men and five women they could take as long or as short a time as they needed to reach "a conscientious and properly considered verdict". | The jury in the trial of an architect accused of murdering a childcare worker in the Republic of Ireland has retired to consider its verdict. | 32036512 | [

Christian, 33, captained the side during this year's tournament and will be one of their two overseas players for the competition in 2017.
He averaged 41, with a strike-rate of 159.51, as Notts Outlaws won nine matches in a row in 2016.
"Dan is an explosive player who hits the ball miles and played really well for us," said head coach Peter Moores.
"He's also been around the T20 scene and around cricket for a long time. He brings all that experience to us, as well as a real calmness under pressure."
Christian has played 174 Twenty20 matches during his career, scoring 2,549 runs and taking 130 wickets.
He made three half-centuries for Notts last summer and equalled Alex Hales' record for the county's fastest half-century in T20 cricket by reaching fifty off 16 balls against Leicestershire.
"Anybody who has met Dan will know he's a brilliant team-man. He gives everything and expects the same from his team-mates," Moores added.
"He likes to get on the front foot, to be aggressive and to play attacking cricket, which is exactly what we want in that form of the game." | Australia all-rounder Dan Christian will return to Nottinghamshire for next summer's T20 Blast. | 38396936 | [

Revenues rose 18% to £1.55bn last year, with underlying operating profit jumping 44% to £330m.
But after the costs of last year's merger between Paddy Power and Betfair were taken into account the company reported a loss of £5.7m.
Analysts at Liberum said the company's performance in the final quarter of 2016 had been "disappointing".
"It seems likely that operational challenges will continue around the performance of cross-sell to sports customers and the investment required to stimulate growth," Liberum said in a research note.
Overall, the FTSE 100 closed lower, having traded higher for much of the sessions, losing 10.75 points, or 0.15% at 7,339.37.
"Markets remain becalmed for yet another day, hampered by a lack of data and a general wariness ahead of the ECB [European Central Bank] on Thursday, NFPs [US employment figures] on Friday and a Fed meeting next week," said Chris Beauchamp, chief market analyst at IG.
Shares in Direct Line fell 2.9% after the insurer reported a fall in full-year profits due to changes in the way that compensation payments are to be calculated.
Pre-tax profits fell 30% to £353m, with changes to the payment formula cutting profits by £217m.
In the FTSE 250, shares in Aggreko sank 11% after the temporary power provider said it expected profits to fall this year.
On the currency markets, the pound fell 0.29% against the US dollar to $1.2203 and was also 0.27% lower against the euro at 1.1535 euros. | Shares in Paddy Power Betfair fell more than 5% despite the bookmaker reporting rising revenues and underlying profits. | 39191815 | [

The hosts took an early lead through former Bath full-back Nick Abendanon.
Danny Cipriani kicked Sale's only points but two Camille Lopez penalties gave the hosts a 13-3 interval lead.
Napolioni Nalaga plundered two tries to see Clermont pull away and home legend Aurelien Rougerie scored from halfway to secure the four-try bonus point.
With three of last year's semi-finalists alongside the Sharks in Pool One the Salford-based side were always going to be big outsiders to qualify, and with a solitary point from two games the knock-out stages look impossible now.
They enjoyed some good moments, with David Seymour a constant menace at the breakdown, but ultimately the hosts had too much power and class.
Fly-half Cipriani, playing his first game since being left out of the England squad, mixed lovely touches with a couple of careless mistakes, but along with the rest of his side he was powerless to prevent the Clermont onslaught after the break.
Despite trailing by 10 points at the interval Sale were competitive in the first half and it took a poor throw at the line-out - far from the last unfortunately for the visitors - to spark Clermont into life.
Wales centre Jonathan Davies - who immediately went off with a reported shoulder injury - chipped and regathered before feeding Abendanon, who scooted down the line and produced a piston-like hand-off on Sale scrum-half Will Cliff to score.
Lopez, 25, converted and added two penalties after Cipriani's solitary reply for Sale as the hosts edged clear.
After the break Clermont grew more dominant by the minute and added a second try when the giant Nalaga claimed Lopez's cross-kick and stepped inside two covering defenders to score.
The Fijian powerhouse added a second with 10 minutes remaining after a flowing passing move and, with the passionate home fans demanding a fourth try, the 34-year-old Rougerie dummied on halfway, handed off Tom Arscott and outpaced the Sale defence to score in the corner.

"Rodrigo was nurturing the dream of being a professional footballer. He had been born with a real talent and everyone in his family and his community knew that he was really good at football."
The teenage boy described by outreach worker Antonio Carlos da Silva could be any of Brazil's football-mad youngsters.
But Rodrigo Kelton had not just stood out in training sessions. At only 14, he had already overcome great odds to make it to that age alive.
Rodrigo was one of the thousands of children born into hardship in the north-eastern state of Ceara, where according to official figures more than 133,000 people live on less than 70 reais ($30; £18.50) a month.
Born into deep poverty and drug addiction, Rodrigo was driven by severe social problems into a perilous existence on the streets of the state capital, Fortaleza.
But according to Mr Silva, the outreach worker who first met Rodrigo living on the streets and persuaded him to move into a shelter in 2009, he was on the brink of turning his life around.
"He was hoping to turn professional, so that he could help his mother get treatment for her drug addiction and buy her a house," Mr Silva recalls.
Part of what helped him was being part of the Brazilian team competing in the Street Child World Cup, a global tournament that puts the spotlight on issues affecting street children.
The tournament currently under way in Rio is the second such event to be held uniting teams of street children from 19 countries, four years after the inaugural competition in Durban.
Bernardo Rosemeyer is the founder of O Pequeno Nazareno, a non-governmental organisation which runs the shelter into which Rodrigo moved aged nine. He says the prospect of competing in the Street Child World Cup instilled discipline in Rodrigo's life.
"He had stopped taking drugs and was going to school as part of the conditions to play in the tournament," Mr Rosemeyer explains. "Being in the team was a light in his life. He was even getting on better with his mother who came to all the training sessions."
But what happened to Team Brazil's best striker shortly before he was due to take part in the Cup reflects the bitter reality of children at the bottom of Brazil's society.
In February, Rodrigo decided to move back to the favela, or shanty town, where his family lived.
He liked a girl there and dismissed warnings by social workers about the risks of returning to the dangerous neighbourhood.
As he left his home on the day of his 14th birthday with his older brother Raphael, the brothers were shot at by members of a drug gang in retaliation for an alleged robbery several years before.
Rodrigo was killed and Raphael only survived because the gun had jammed.
The news hit his team mates hard.
"I told the players about his death when we all met up to take the bus to the training session," recalls Mr Silva.
"At first, they did not believe me and thought I was lying. Then they all began to cry and to think about their strategies for survival in the communities where they live."
At Rodrigo's funeral, it was his team mates who carried his coffin.
On the day before their first match, they gathered in a small chapel to remember the teenager who could not make the journey with them from the streets of Fortaleza to Rio to represent their country.
Goalkeeper Pedro Levi, a 15-year-old who also lived on the streets of Fortaleza before moving into a shelter, says Rodrigo has left a gaping hole in the team: "He was a great player. The best thing about him was his leadership, he would bring the whole team together.
Pedro says the team is determined to bring the trophy home "for Rodrigo".
Before their first match against Egypt, the players observed a minute's silence in Rodrigo's honour. Team mate Diego Rocha, 14, held a portrait of Rodrigo as Rio's Archbishop, Dom Orani Tempesta, and a former captain of Brazil's national team, Gilberto Silva, watched.
Rodrigo's team went on to beat Egypt 4-0. But their victory felt bittersweet. "We dedicate this match to the memory of Rodrigo," Diego said.
The team is determined that Rodrigo will not be forgotten and plan to keep displaying his portrait as they progress through the tournament to Sunday's final.
But the reality for Brazil's 23,000 street children is anything but rosy. Gang and drug violence remain endemic in poor communities.
In Rodrigo's home state of Ceara alone, there were 4,462 murders in 2013.
Murders of street children routinely go unpunished and there has been no investigation into Rodrigo's death.
Team mate Vinicius Marcos, 14, knows any of the 300 children believed to live on the streets of Fortaleza could easily run the same fate as Rodrigo.
So his hope for his former team mate is a simple one: "I hope God has him in a good place." | The brutal killing of a promising teenage street footballer has concentrated minds in Brazil ahead of the World Cup this summer. | 26835853 | [

Safid has travelled 5,000 miles from his home and is currently one of thousands of migrants living in a camp called the Jungle in Calais, France.
It's thought more than 600 child migrants arrived in the UK without their parents last month alone.
And Safid told Newsround reporter Martin Dougan that he will do whatever it takes to try and get to Britain soon.

At least 11 people died in Wednesday's 8.3-magnitude quake - the strongest in the world this year - that sent tsunami waves as far away as Japan.
The coastal town of Coquimbo, close to the epicentre, saw waves of 4.7m (15ft) hit the shore.
Hundreds of people spent Thursday night in temporary shelters, while tens of thousands are without electricity.
About one million people had to leave their homes after Chile sounded a tsunami alert when the quake struck, although most are reported to have returned.
Tsunami waves also hit the coast further north and south of the quake's epicentre, with waves half a metre higher than usual as far north as La Punta.
Gloria Navarro, who lives in the coastal town of La Serena, said people were "running in all directions".
"Everything is a mess," restaurant owner Melisa Pinones told Reuters from the city of Illapel. "It was a disaster, a total loss."
Across parts of central Chile, residents began clearing up after what was the country's sixth most powerful recorded earthquake.
Large parts of the sea front in the fishing village of Tongoy were destroyed, and more than 500 homes were badly damaged across the region, according to emergency response teams.
Emergency powers mean aid will reach Coquimbo quicker, and allow troops to be deployed on to the region's streets.
Visiting Coquimbo on Thursday, President Michelle Bachelet paid tribute to people's response, saying that the death toll, "while unfortunate, was not very high considering the strength of the earthquake".
The US Geological Survey (USGS) said the tremor struck off the coast of Coquimbo, 46km (29 miles) west of the city of Illapel at 19:54 local time (22:54 GMT).
The USGS said it was at a depth of 25km, while Chilean seismologists calculated its depth at 11km.
Small tsunami waves were felt along the west coast of the US and Canada. A one-metre (3ft) wave also reached in Hawaii.
The earthquake struck as thousands of Chileans were travelling to the coast ahead of a week of celebrations for independence day.
President Bachelet said some of Friday's official festivities would be cancelled. | Chile's government has declared a state of emergency in a central region struck by a powerful earthquake. | 34285841 | [

Unions had won backing for strike action after the firm proposed closing the final salary scheme, which Tata claimed was facing a £2bn deficit.
Workers have now agreed to amendments to the pension scheme in return for it remaining open.
A proposed national strike scheduled for 22 June was suspended following talks at the arbitration service Acas.
Neither the unions nor Tata have given any details of the changes.
In a statement Tata Steel said the new proposal was "a fair and balanced solution".
The firm added; "The new arrangements, including the modifications to scheme benefits, will address a significant proportion of the pension scheme's projected deficit. "Other actions to be agreed with the pension Trustee will address the balance."
Roy Rickhuss, general secretary of Community, one of the four unions involved in the dispute, said the UK steel industry was still facing "challenges".
"It was apparent during this dispute that the company was not listening to the concerns of its workforce, which led to a serious breakdown in trust and confidence," he said.
"All unions have already begun a dialogue with the company to address these issues."
Tata Steel employs more than 17,000 people in its UK operation.
It has sites in Corby, Hartlepool, Rotherham, Scunthorpe, Teesside and York as well as plants in Port Talbot, Newport, Flintshire and Carmarthenshire. | An industrial dispute at Tata Steel has ended after workers voted to accept changes to their pension scheme. | 33541704 | [

Ms Wood blamed the Conservatives in particular for claiming the SNP posed a threat to the future of the UK.
She claimed "progressive" parties like hers were offering a "collaborative" alternative to "combative" politics.
"This election presents an opportunity for harmonious co-existence between our nations," she said.
Ms Wood's comments followed Conservative claims that Labour dependence on support from the SNP to form a government after the election on 7 May would threaten the break-up of the UK.
Campaigning in south Wales on Monday, she said: "The parties advocating progressive, inclusive non-partisan cooperation in this election are not those who claim to cherish the political union above all others, but the national parties of Wales and Scotland.
"Along with the Greens in England, our parties have provided people across these islands with a collaborative alternative to the traditional combative Westminster politics."
Ms Wood added that she had received "hundreds" of supportive messages from people in England following the televised debates. | Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood has accused rival parties of "dangerous and divisive rhetoric" in a "desperate" attempt to win votes. | 32480656 | [

But with their complete silence as Nicky Morgan walked on stage, low cries of rubbish and then loud outraged laughter as she answered questions, head teachers here at the NAHT conference in Birmingham made clear quite how disillusioned they're feeling.
It's not just the plans to force all schools to become academies, which will affect primary schools most, as few have chosen to go down that route.
It's also the changes, delays and uncertainty around primary testing which have left the Department for Education looking ham-fisted.
The decision to postpone baseline testing for children starting school for a year, was closely followed by the accidental publishing of test papers for seven-year-olds online.
This all falls within the remit of schools minister Nick Gibb - so one head asked if he was running the department. A question Nicky Morgan dismissed as "sexist" .
It's never great to have to start a speech with an apology, which the education secretary did today on the leaked test paper.
She offered significant reassurance that many schools won't suddenly find themselves marked down this year as a result of Sats tests.
But the speech, to a union which has tried harder than most to engage with the government, left them cold.
And these are the head teachers who are meant to be taking the initiative in deciding what kind of academy trust they want to form.
It would offer them greater freedom to make their own decisions, Nicky Morgan told them.
The loudest applause was for the head teacher who told her being forced to change wasn't the kind of freedom they needed.
It was at best an uncomfortable encounter, and ministers can and have been describing union opposition as coming from "vested interests".
Less easy to ignore are the many Conservative councillors and some MPs who are already very queasy about the forced academy plans. | With an audience of head teachers it was never likely to be a highly rowdy affair. | 36177701 | [

Dunelm House was built in the 1960s and although fans believe it to be a prime example of the architecture, it has not been given listed status.
The university said the concrete structure needed repairs costing £14.7m and wants to demolish it.
A petition calling for it to be refurbished and maintained has attracted hundreds of signatures.
The building splits opinion in the city, with some residents referring to it as a "concrete carbuncle".
However, architect James Perry, from the Something Concrete and Modern project, which is documenting post-war buildings, described it as "brilliant" and "incredibly polite for a modernist building".
He said: "It is expensive to demolish and dispose of a building.
"I would say as an architect we need to be looking to to reuse, recycle, extend or adapt our buildings rather than disposing of them because we don't like the way they look."
Durham University said that if demolition went ahead then the replacement building would be of high quality and a world class design for such a sensitive location. | Campaigners have called for Durham University's "brutalist" student union building to be saved from demolition. | 38422791 | [

Seam bowler Chapple, 40, has played for the Red Rose county for more than two decades and led the side throughout Moores's five-year reign.
He will be assisted by ex-Lancashire spinner Gary Yates, who was already on the club's coaching staff.
Lancashire return to Championship action at Northants on Sunday.
He's taught me a lot about the game, about what you see from the sidelines when you're not a player, and in that respect he's inspired me to want to stay in the game
Moores left his position as head coach following the Division One fixture with Warwickshire, which ended in a draw on Wednesday.
The 51-year-old will now begin his second spell with the national team, having been in charge for nearly two years before his dismissal in January 2009.
Speaking prior to Friday's announcement, Chapple told BBC Radio Manchester that working alongside Moores has increased his desire to stay in the game at the end of his playing career.
"I rate him very highly as a coach," Chapple said. "The lads are very pleased for him because he's been terrific for us as a coach. We wish him every success.
"He's taught me a lot about the game, about what you see from the sidelines when you're not a player, and in that respect he's inspired me to want to stay in the game.
"My role will inevitably be bigger because Peter's not here, but at the same time I've been involved in team selection for five years now.
"We've got a lot of resources at the club and a lot of highly qualified coaches, and we'll back ourselves to be great until the club tells us anything different." | Captain Glen Chapple will take control of Lancashire for the rest of the 2014 season following the departure of Peter Moores to become England boss. | 27158767 | [

Hilary won the Theakstons Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year Award in Harrogate on Thursday.
Radio Times TV editor Alison Graham, who was one of the judges, described the book as "an emotionally exhausting and powerful story".
US author Sara Paretsky, who created detective VI Warshawski, received an outstanding contribution honour.
The accolades were handed out at the start of the North Yorkshire town's annual crime writing festival.
Shetland and Vera writer Ann Cleeves, this year's festival programming chair, said the crime novel of the year shortlist had been "really strong" this year.
The panel had felt Hilary's winning book was "so finely written and tightly written", she said.
Someone Else's Skin, a thriller that tackles domestic violence and so-called honour crime, is the first in a series of novels featuring Det Insp Marnie Rome.
"The author was able to conjure up atmosphere in very few lines," Cleeves said. "The subject matter was well done and well plotted."
The other books on the shortlist were:
Sara Paretsky was chosen for the outstanding contribution to crime fiction award after her 23-year career writing about VI Warshawski, a female private investigator from Chicago.
Actress Kathleen Turner played VI Warshawski in a 1991 movie based on the Deadlock novel and in a BBC Radio 4 adaptation.
VI Warshawski was "a real game changer", Cleeves said. "This was a woman who didn't just solve crimes but was like an action hero in a sense."
Paretsky "really changed the way that readers thought about female writers", Cleeves said.
"When she started writing, it was pretty well unheard of to have a strong female protagonist," she added.
Paretsky also set up Sisters In Crime, an organisation to support female crime writers around the world. | Author Sarah Hilary has won one of the UK's top crime-writing awards for her debut novel, Someone Else's Skin. | 33557471 | [

Falcons lie eighth, having won six of their 14 matches, after finishing 11th for the previous three campaigns.
"Every year I've been here we've shown improvement," the 53-year-old told BBC Radio Newcastle.
"People don't quite see improvement though until you overtake people, which is what we've done this year," he said.
"I've never looked at anything other than that [being in the top six] for the last four years. We're now getting more wins than people thought, and people are now considering us as top six contenders."
Newcastle host Northampton, who they beat 22-16 earlier this season, on Sunday, with the Saints one place above the Falcons in the table.
"They fight for every point they can get, and will try to reverse the defeat from earlier in the year."
"I want people to look at our combativeness and 'never willing to lie down' attitude. We are getting there. Every game has been a battle for other teams. They don't like coming here and we know that. It's not about the weather up here, but the way we play."
"We've still got to go out and do it. It's not about dizzy heights and aspirations. It's about nailing that win time and time again." | Newcastle director of rugby Dean Richards believes his side are gaining attention due to their higher position in the Premiership table. | 39003454 | [

So for the players of Hawk Green 1st XI from Marple, it might have been something of a dream to have a bowl at Michael Vaughan or face a Devon Malcolm delivery.
But on a sunny evening in Cheshire, Vaughan, joined by an England legends team including Malcolm, Neil Fairbrother and Adam Hollioake amongst others, turned out to take on Hawk Green's finest on their own turf.
Having done a coaching session with the club's youngsters and a Q&A session the England Legends were put into bat first in this Twenty20 encounter, one of three matches the legends have scheduled in order to raise funds for grass roots cricket.
Vaughan fell for 17 as the home side made an encouraging start with the ball but the form of Mal Loye, who top-scored for England Legends with 117, ensured the visitors set a tough mark of 194.
It was a target which, despite Justin Blackhurst's impressive 88, proved to be too much for the Derbyshire and Cheshire League outfit, who could only make 165 in 20 overs to leave the legends once again victorious. Scorecard.

However goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama declined the chance to appear to answer questions about comments he made about playing an international match in Kaduna.
The NFF executive board will have the final say on any punishments, on a date yet to be decided.
Keshi, who signed a new two-year deal with the NFF in April, was on a list of 59 applicants published recently by the Ivorian federation (FIF) to take over from Frenchman Herve Renard.
Meanwhile, Super Eagles captain Enyeama made "uncomplimentary remarks" regarding safety and security in Kaduna for a 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Chad.
Enyeama, who plays for French club Lille and is the Super Eagles most capped player with 101 appearances, failed to reply to messages from the NFF seeking an explanation for his comments.
The 32-year-old could face a lengthy ban for his comments which the NFF feels broke its recent code of conduct signed by the players as well as his failure to attend Tuesday's hearing. | Coach Stephen Keshi met with the Nigeria Football Federation's (NFF) disciplinary committee on Tuesday to answer questions on why his name appeared on a list of candidates to manage Ivory Coast. | 33242694 | [

The admission comes a day after mSpy told BBC News it had not been hacked and no data had been stolen.
It has also emerged that the UK's Information Commissioner is investigating the company.
It told the BBC it was "aware of the breach and is trying to find out where the company is based".
MSpy offers software it says is aimed at parents worried about what their children are up to online and employers who want to legitimately track their employees.
But it is also used for more nefarious purposes, such as spouses spying on their partners.
Security expert Brian Krebs broke the news that a vast vault of highly personal data from mSpy customers had been dumped on the so-called dark web - an area of the internet that cannot be reached by traditional search engines.
He had been contacted by an anonymous source who had sent him a link to the data on a Tor-based site - technology that allows people to mask the identity of their websites.
BBC News has now also been sent links to the data, which it is currently analysing.
After insisting that the data was fake and no breach had taken place, mSpy has now admitted that data had been stolen.
"Much to our regret, we must inform you that data leakage has actually taken place," spokeswoman Amelie Ross told BBC News.
"However, the scope and format of the aforesaid information is way too exaggerated."
She said that 80,000 customers had been affected. Initial reports suggested up to 400,000 customer details had been exposed.
"Naturally, we have communicated with our customers whose data could have been stolen, and described them a situation. We put in place all the necessary remedial measures and continue to work on mechanism of data encryption," she added.
Mr Krebs said that he had also contacted "multiple customers of mSpy" via the link he had been sent.
"I spent the better part of the day today pulling customer records from the hundreds of gigabytes of data leaked from mSpy. I spoke with multiple customers whose payment and personal data — and that of their kids, employees and significant others — were included in the huge cache. All confirmed they are or were recently paying customers of mSpy," he wrote in his blog.
Katherine Till, one of the customers contacted by Mr Krebs, confirmed to him that she and her husband had paid mSpy to monitor the mobile device of their 14-year-old daughter.
She told the security expert that she was unaware of any breach.
"This is disturbing, because who knows what someone could do with all that data from her phone," she told Mr Krebs.
Another user whose financial and personal data was in the cache asked not to be identified but told the security expert that he had paid mSpy to secretly monitor the mobile device of a "friend."
The Information Commissioner's Office advised customers worried that their data might have been exposed to contact mSpy in the first instance.
"If they get no joy with the company, they can get in touch with us," a spokesman said.
Its initial investigation is aimed at finding out whether the company, which has a London office, is based in the UK.
The BBC has been told the company is based in California.
The company is also under fire in the US, with Minnesota senator Al Franken describing the software as "nothing short of terrifying" and likening it to "stalking apps".
He wants the government to investigate the company and has written to the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission.
He writes: "I believe every American has a fundamental right to privacy, which includes the right to control whether and with whom personal, sensitive information - including location data - is being shared." | A company offering software that allows people to spy on others has admitted it has been hacked and had thousands of customer records leaked online. | 32826678 | [

The statue at the University of Cape Town had been attacked as a surviving symbol of white minority rule.
The university's vice-chancellor has backed calls to move the statue and says a final decision will be brought forward to a special meeting next week.
Student leaders have hailed a "victory" for their Rhodes Must Fall campaign.
Vice-chancellor Max Price has said the university's senate accepted calls for the statue to be permanently removed from the campus and that it should be boarded up until a final decision was reached.
With more than 180 votes in the senate, only one voted against the statue's removal and there were three abstentions.
A meeting of the university's council to decide the statue's fate is being brought forward to next week, said a statement from Dr Price - and there will need to be consultations with local heritage authorities.
The statue of Cecil Rhodes has become part of a symbolic struggle at the University of Cape Town, one of the the highest ranking universities in Africa in international league tables.
Rhodes, a British politician and business magnate who died in 1902, was a powerful figure in colonial South Africa, and his statue has remained on the campus of this high-profile university.
But earlier this month, the statue was attacked by a protester who tipped a bucket of human excrement over the figure of Rhodes.
It began several weeks of protest by students who saw the statue as representing the lack of opportunities still facing the black majority two decades after the end of apartheid.
It sparked arguments about how modern South Africa should represent the legacy of its colonial and apartheid-era past.
There have also been debates about access for black students to top universities.
The statue had been wrapped in black plastic to protect it, but it has now been entirely boarded up.
"It is certainly a victory for us," said Ramabina Mahapa, president of the student representative council. | A colonial-era statue of Cecil Rhodes on a South African university campus has been boarded up after student protesters demanded its removal. | 32116166 | [

Gary Carter, who was in London to cover the England v New Zealand rugby league match, was found with head injuries in Bethnal Green early on Friday.
His wife Gemma said: "He's heavily sedated because they're waiting for the swelling on his brain to go down."
James Flanagan 35, of Marsden Street, Kentish Town, has been charged with causing grievous bodily harm.
Scotland Yard said it was called to an altercation between two men outside Bethnal Green station at about 01:00 GMT and found 36-year-old Mr Carter, from Greater Manchester, with head injuries.
Mrs Carter, who has been married to Gary for four years, said: "I'm trying to stay calm and keep positive and draw on all the support that I'm getting from social media and the family to stay strong for Gaz.
"I've just replied to a tweet from Alan Shearer and I'm getting them from lots of rugby league players and managers. They're coming from all over the world. It's amazing and it really lifts us. It just goes to show how well-respected he is."
Former Newcastle United and England footballer Shearer tweeted: "Best wishes to @garyCarter_1979 for a full recovery after suffering an awful attack last week."
Mr Carter was admitted to the Royal London Hospital on Friday and immediately taken to surgery to remove a blood clot from his brain.
The freelance sports journalist had travelled from Manchester to London on Thursday to report on Saturday's England's v New Zealand game game at the Olympic Stadium.
Mrs Carter said she had last spoken to him after he had arrived in the capital.
She said: "He texted me a picture and apologised for having to work away all the time and that was the last I heard from him.
"A police woman knocked on the door at about 02:20 and she said he had been involved in an incident. We drove straight down and I was saying prayers repeatedly. "
Mr Carter, a journalist since leaving school, often works for The Sun.
His wife said: "He absolutely loves his job and rugby league with a passion. I'm hoping next week I'll be able to play the radio and some commentary to him."
Following England's defeat national coach Steve McNamara said: "The England team sends its best wishes to him and his family and hope he makes a full and speedy recovery."
England and Wigan Warriors player Sam Tomkins also tweeted: "He's a good guy who Iv[e] always enjoyed working with. We're all supporting him."
A 22-year-old man was also arrested in connection with the incident on suspicion of affray towards attending paramedics. He has been bailed. | The wife of a journalist attacked outside a Tube station has been told to take his recovery "an hour at a time". | 34760893 | [

Timothy Geaney admitted taking or permitting the images to be taken between April 2004 and February 2014.
He was made the subject of a community payback order and put on the sex offenders register earlier this year.
He has now been removed from his profession's register following a General Teaching Council Scotland hearing.
In February, Dumfries Sheriff Court heard how most of the images he had downloaded were of young boys partially dressed in erotic poses with no sexual activity.
In addition to his payback order he was ordered to take part in a special programme for sex offenders.
A GTC Scotland hearing was told that the nature of the offence meant Geaney had "condoned and participated in an industry that violates and abuses children".
It heard that his conduct was "fundamentally incompatible" with being a registered teacher.
The panel found that Geaney had failed to uphold the standards expected of the profession.
It also noted that the offending behaviour had taken place over a lengthy period of time "demonstrating that there was a pattern of behaviour, as opposed to an isolated incident".
"Given the volume of images and the duration of the conduct, taken with the lack of evidence of remedial action, the panel was of the view that there was a strong likelihood of the offending behaviour recurring," it concluded.
The panel found him unfit to teach and removed him from the professional register.
Geaney, who was 69 at the time he was sentenced, was not present at the hearing.
He was prohibited from applying to re-register for a period of two years. | A Dumfries and Galloway music teacher found with more than 21,000 indecent images of children has been struck off. | 35039462 | [

The yellow warning will remain in force until 11:00 on Sunday.
Forecasters said showers accompanied by widespread sub-zero temperatures would see ice form on many untreated roads.
Some snow is expected even at low levels in northern Scotland and other areas could see 2-3cm fall on higher ground.
A Met office forecaster said: "Over northern Scotland showers will fall as snow to low levels.
"Elsewhere within the warning area these showers will be turning increasingly wintry, with the main snow level down to between 100 and 200m by the end of the night.
"Locally 2 or 3cm of snow is possible above 200m." | A weather warning has been issued for most parts of Scotland, with drivers urged to be aware of a risk of ice and snow. | 35735369 | [

Deila will leave Premiership champions Celtic after Sunday's match against Motherwell.
The Norwegian led the club to two titles and a League Cup win, but they were unable to reach the Champions League group stage this term and last.
"We did not play as well as was needed," said Sweden player Lustig.
"Of course Celtic always want to be in the Champions League, but at the same time, he is not to blame. The players are the ones out there.
"When we went out of the Champions League, we should have been the better team, but we were not at that standard."
Lustig feels it would be "a little bit harsh" to regard Deila's reign as a failure and said: "Hopefully the manager gets a good reception on Sunday.
"He's been here for two years now and obviously we wanted something more, but he has brought titles to the club and I think he's going to get a good send-off.
"We want to have a good win for the manager and make sure the last game is memorable."
Deila announced after a Scottish Cup semi-final defeat on penalties to Rangers that he would be moving on at the end of the season.
He will leave behind a large squad, of which Lustig said: "There is a lot of players in the same positions and that's maybe one of the weaknesses that we have.
"We don't have 11 to 15 players who are always in the first team - there have been a lot of changes between games.
"Of course everyone wants to play, but when you try to keep everyone satisfied, it ends up them maybe starting one game but then the next they are not in the squad.
"Or, from not being in the squad one week, you start the next game.
"As a player, you want to know if you're a first-team player or if your role is to come on for the last 20 minutes.
"So maybe there has been a little bit too much changing about.
"We will see what the new manager wants to do with the club. Maybe some will have to go, maybe he will bring in some new players as well." | Celtic defender Mikael Lustig insists Ronny Deila is "not to blame" for the club missing out on Champions League football under the manager's tenure. | 36288599 | [

Charles Raine, 66, known as Neville, and his nephew Philip Raine, 47, were sentenced to three years in prison.
The pair, from County Durham, were last month found guilty by a jury at Teesside Crown Court of conspiracy to use criminal property.
Police investigating missing ewes organised identity parades to reunite them with their rightful owners.
The court was told the value of the sheep was just under £25,000.
Phillip Raine's partner Shirley Straughan, 41, was cleared of the same charge.
In all, 16 farmers lost sheep between 2010 and 2013.
In victim impact statements read out in court some said they felt "betrayed".
More than 115 animals were identified as coming from farms in County Durham, North Yorkshire and Cumbria, despite usual markers being removed.
Identity tags were found on the Raine's farms in Bowes.
Speaking after the sentencing, Det Insp Paul Phillips of Durham Police, who led the investigation, said: "This inquiry has revealed the complete contempt the two men convicted today have for other farmers.
"They have broken the rules of the unwritten 'Shepherd's Bible' which has guided sheep farmers for generations. Farmers need to be able to trust their neighbours and they have shown themselves unworthy of that trust.
"We believe the force is the first to secure a prosecution under the Proceeds of Crime Act connected to the theft of sheep.
"Hopefully, this will... send a strong message to those who might be tempted to steal their neighbour's animals that if they do, will be brought to justice." | Two farmers convicted of possessing more than 100 sheep which did not belong to them have been jailed. | 35232437 | [

The interior ministry confirmed his replacement as Abdul Rahman Rahimi, former police chief in Balkh province.
Gen Zahir resigned last week after presiding over a dramatic rise in militant attacks in recent months.
His spokesman sparked confusion days later by claiming his resignation had been rejected.
Interior ministry spokesman Sidiq Sidiqi said: "Abdul Rahman Rahimi, the former police chief of Balkh, is appointed as Kabul police chief and General Zahir is appointed as the head of the counter crime department.
"So far no-one is appointed as Balkh police chief and soon another general will be appointed there."
Gen Zahir gave no reason for his resignation, but he had faced increasing pressure, with insurgents carrying out nine deadly attacks in Kabul in the past two weeks.
The latest in a string of attacks targeted a compound used by a US-based charity on Saturday, killing three South Africans.
Last week, two American soldiers and two British embassy workers were killed in separate attacks, with dozens of Afghans also killed and injured.
Gen Zahir was himself the target of an attack in early November, when a suicide bomber infiltrated his offices and killed his deputy.
Afghan troops are preparing to take over national security before the withdrawal of foreign combat troops at the end of the month.
The Taliban stepped up attacks against foreign nationals, civilians and Afghan soldiers in recent months, raising concerns over the Afghan army's ability to protect the country from insurgents.
President Ashraf Ghani, who took power in September, has vowed to bring peace after decades of conflict.
On Sunday, he ratified security deals allowing some 12,000 Nato soldiers to remain for training and advisory purposes, after the withdrawal of foreign combat troops on 31 December.

Daniel Bragg, 37, hit Julie Cook, 44, so hard he broke her left eye socket in the assault, police said.
Ms Cook fell and hit her head on the floor, causing a serious injury. She died in hospital two days later.
Bragg, who admitted manslaughter, was sentenced to five years and four months in prison.
He initially denied the killing, but changed his plea on the second day of his trial at Winchester Crown Court.
Bragg was overheard by friends four days before Ms Cook was killed saying "one of these days I'm going to kill her", Dorset Police said.
A Domestic Violence Protection Order had been made against Mr Bragg in April stopping him from contacting or going to Ms Cook's home, the force said.
However, the couple, from Bournemouth, remained in contact and on 28 April 2016 - just four days before the assault - a friend of the couple heard Mr Bragg say something to the effect of "if we carry on like this I will end up killing her".
The couple had been at Pokesdown Railway Station when they started arguing and Ms Cook walked away.
After punching her, Bragg initially walked away but returned to help Ms Cook, who was unconscious on the concrete platform, and took her back to her flat.
The couple had been together for about four years before the incident and their relationship was described as "volatile".
Det Insp Neil Phillips said: "There was no justification for such violence. Bragg and Julie clearly had a volatile relationship and efforts had been made to prevent further abuse.
"However, Julie and Bragg continued to maintain contact and she tragically died as a result of his violent behaviour." | A man who punched and killed his girlfriend just days after he was overheard saying he would kill her has been jailed. | 37768081 | [

The Welsh beat Moldova 4-0 in their first qualifier, but drew against Austria, Georgia and Serbia.
Chris Coleman's side are third in Group D, four points behind the Republic, who are top.
"We've been unlucky where we've drawn a few games we felt we should have won," Burnley's Vokes told BBC Radio Wales.
The side finishing top qualify automatically, with eight of the nine second-placed teams facing play-offs to reach next year's World Cup in Russia.
Vokes added: "We've been apart for a few months, but if we can look back and take confidence from the last few performances, then I definitely think we can get the right result out there."
The 27-year-old knows they must win in Dublin to boost their chances of qualifying for a first World Cup since 1958. He says Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale and Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey will provide welcome relief after struggling with injuries this season.
"It's good news for the team. They're two very important lads in our squad," he added.
"It's great to see they are back in training and fit and ready to go."
Burnley travel to the Liberty Stadium on Saturday hoping to seal a win that could send them into the top half of the Premier League table.
The Clarets lost against Swansea City at home on the opening day and Vokes is aware of the threat they pose given their recent return to form.
"We know that if we don't get the right result down there then it closes the gap for us [on the relegation zone]," Vokes said.
"It's important that we get the right results in the next few games to keep that distance between us and the bottom three." | Wales forward Sam Vokes hopes they can turn their World Cup qualifying fortunes around when they visit the Republic of Ireland on 24 March. | 39148754 | [

Hannah Miley, Camilla Hattersley, Robbie Renwick, Ross Murdoch, Stephen Milne, Dan Wallace, Duncan Scott and Craig Benson will travel to Brazil.
It means that Scottish swimmers make up 31% of the Team GB swim team for Rio.
Wallace, a wildcard pick after falling short of the qualifying standard, Murdoch, Scott, Milne and Hattersley will be making their Olympic debuts.
But, as expected, there is no place for Michael Jamieson, the 27-year-old who won a silver medal in the 200m breaststroke at the 2012 Olympics in London and had moved back to Edinburgh in a bid to make the team.
Renwick and Miley will be competing in their third Olympics.
Miley, who competed in Beijing and London, said: "It's quite hard to put into words what it feels like to be selected for my third Olympics.
"I still love my sport as much as I've always done and to reach my third Olympics just highlights the dedication that me and my family have put into the sport."
"It's another fantastic opportunity to put myself out there against the very best in the world - in the biggest event in the world - and hopefully I can come out on top."
The 26-year-old, from the Garioch club, is hopeful of winning her first Olympic medal.
"I feel a lot more confident, centred and happy this time around," said Miley.
"My previous experiences have been great in Beijing and London, but I feel different heading into Rio and I'm confident that will help me to perform.
"I'm more mature and more experienced and I'll approach this one differently to the previous two."
Murdoch will swim in the 100m breaststroke after failing to qualify for the more favoured 200m event.
"It's bittersweet I didn't qualify in that event I was very close to but I was touched out by my team-mate Craig Benson, who I can say I'm absolutely delighted for," said Murdoch.
This will be Murdoch's first appearance at an Olympic Games - but after winning bronze in the 100m breaststroke at the recent World Championships in Russia he's aiming high in Rio.
"The time that I swam during the trials would be good enough to qualify for every Olympics final in history," he explained.
"As I showed from Kazan all you need is a lane and I was in lane eight and I managed to get myself a bronze medal so at the minute my focus is to get myself through the rounds as easy as possible, get myself into an Olympic final and then anything can happen.
"I'm really, really please to be selected as part of Team GB for this summer. It's a bit of relief for me as I made the consideration time not the outright qualifying time. I was pretty confident I would go, but now I know."
Renwick will also be eyeing a medal having won gold as part of the 4x200m freestyle relay team at the World Championships.
For Stirling University team-mate Benson, it is a second Olympics having been the youngest member of the GB team in 2012. | Eight Scots have been named in the British swimming team for this summer's Olympic Games. | 36100889 | [

Bradford, chasing a play-off place, went ahead when Wes Thomas converted Josh Cullen's pass, but Kevin Keen's side levelled through Ambrose's volley.
Buoyed by the leveller, George Moncur struck an upright, before Ambrose took Owen Garvan's pass to make it 2-1.
It was enough to secure a double against the Bantams this season.
The win was Colchester's first in League One since a 2-1 home success against Port Vale in October, and Keen's first in the competition since his December appointment.
Phil Parkinson's side dropped two places to ninth after the defeat, their first in five. | Darren Ambrose's double helped struggling Colchester United come from behind to win 2-1 at Bradford City and end a 19-game League One winless run. | 35637121 | [

They read from Attack of the Shidas about children from different Kenyan communities working together to protect their well from an alien invasion.
The event is meant to foster a culture of reading in the country, the organisers told the BBC.
The US currently holds the Guinness World Record set by 233,000 people.
It will take at least a week to work out whether they have been successful as they need to tally the number of pupils from across the country who participated.
Kenyan children's book author Muthoni Muchemi led the event with 1,700 students reading from her book at Hospital Hill Primary School in the capital, Nairobi.
Afterwards, she said she wanted to break the stereotype that Africans do not care for books.
"Growing up I would always hear that if you want to hide something from an African, put it in a book - and it was really upsetting to me," she told the BBC.
"I want to help change that perception and the first step is to re-introduce reading not just as important but enjoyable," she said.
"I have seen over the years that a lot of families don't have libraries in their homes but have they have big TVs. We need to get parents to understand that reading for pleasure with their children is an important part of brain development."
The 13- and 14-year-olds, dressed in grey and white uniforms, who chorused the words at Hospital Hill Primary School said they enjoyed the challenge.
"I enjoy reading because it teaches me about other people and places. It teaches me about the world," one girl said.
Another student said he thought Attack of the Shidas had important life lessons about working together and accepting people's differences.
It is not the first time Kenya has tried to break the record - last year 142,279 children read aloud in 360 schools.
This time, Ms Muchemi is more optimistic about the Storymoja National Read Aloud attempt.
But she says in the end it is about building confidence in children.
"If you master reading it means you've increased your vocabulary, you have good command of sentence structure, your facility with language is improved. It can't help but build your confidence," she said.
"Exposure to different stories makes you more confident in your place in the world because you no longer feel alone. It's served me very well because I grew up in a deep rural area." | Pupils at about 400 Kenyan schools are trying to break the world record for having the most people reading aloud simultaneously from the same book. | 31058486 | [

It is believed the same group of criminals are targeting Lye Valley Industrial Estate several times a week.
West Midlands Police said they will put in place extra measures to help businesses.
However, those with units at the site say they are worried not enough is being done.
Bob Turnock, who operates from Lye Valley, said he had spoken to the force in an effort to improve security at the "demoralised" estate.
"There needs to be a certain police presence down here, and they do need to act on it - it's destroying businesses," he said.
Tetsuya Kuwaki, whose unit was the first to be broken into, said he is "exasperated" with the problem, and may consider moving his business.
"We're looking to invest quite a lot back into the business recently, but at this rate every money that we put into the business is just going to get taken out by some lowlife," he said.
"It feels like nothing's getting done and the thieves can take what they want."
Supt Phil Dolby, from West Midlands Police, said a dedicated detective and new patrol strategy would be put in place to reassure businesses.
He said the force would also work with British Transport Police to secure access from a nearby railway, and look at providing funding to strengthen security. | Business owners on a Black Country business park say they are not being given enough support to deal with a spate of break-ins. | 36568401 | [

It is the second time the hooker has skippered the Lions during the tour, having led them to a win over the Chiefs.
Coach Warren Gatland made the decision after the Lions lost the opening Test against New Zealand 30-15 on Saturday.
The second Test against the All Blacks is on Saturday, 1 July.
"We are obviously hugely disappointed with the result but it is important to regroup," said Gatland.
"We know there are a lot of players motivated to go out and get a result for the whole group.
"A few players put their hands up for selection from the Chiefs game and played their way into the Test team so they know that there is another opportunity for them on Tuesday against the Super Rugby champions."
Wing George North and centre Jonathan Joseph will both start against the Hurricanes, while Jack Nowell is at full-back.
Lock George Kruis is on the bench having played the whole 80 minutes of the first Test against New Zealand.
The All Blacks have released Julian Savea, Jordie Barrett and Ngani Laumape back to the Hurricanes for the game, while Nehe Milner-Skudder also starts.
British and Irish Lions: Jack Nowell (England), Tommy Seymour (Scotland), Jonathan Joseph (England), Robbie Henshaw (Ireland), George North (Wales), Dan Biggar (Wales), Greig Laidlaw (Scotland), Joe Marler (England), Rory Best (Ireland, captain), Dan Cole (England), Iain Henderson (Ireland), Courtney Lawes (England), James Haskell (England), Justin Tipuric (Wales), CJ Stander (Ireland).
Replacements: Kristian Dacey (Wales), Alan Dell (Scotland), Tomas Francis (Wales), Cory Hill (Wales), George Kruis (England), Gareth Davies (Wales), Finn Russell (Scotland), Jared Payne (Ireland).

This time, Charlotte in North Carolina is a focal point of unrest, after a black man was killed by officers this week. There have also been peaceful protests in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where a police officer has been charged with manslaughter.
This is a recurring cycle of violence in the US. According to one research group, over 100 unarmed black people were killed by the police in 2015 and a string riots have occurred following similar shootings in 2016.
But what can be done to resolve this?
Five US experts share their thoughts on rebuilding trust between black American communities and the police.
Like any social problem, the first step is to simply acknowledge that a policing problem exists. I think one of the difficulties Americans are facing right now is that there is some disagreement as to whether there is a problem at all.
One practical thing that needs to be done immediately is to push towards more community policing. It really changes the dynamic, the cultural dynamic, because officers are members of the communities they operate in.
If a citizen shops at the same grocery store as his local police officer, they will recognise each other as human.
I think a lot of the problems we see have to do with geography. You have to put people in the same geographical spaces, to occupy the same spaces.
When you do, people see each other and interact with each other, not necessarily in the structured work environment, but in the unstructured social environment. That's why I think community policing works.
Christopher Bracey is an expert on US race relations, individual rights and criminal procedure. He is professor of law at Georgetown University in Washington DC.
There's always a tendency to say let's train the police and they're not going to be prejudiced and the problem will go away. Well, no.
That's obviously important and needs to be done. But clearly, as we've seen in some of the shootings, even the officers have been black.
I think the patterns of tension we are seeing now are rooted in long-term inequality and disadvantage.
Violence has, for a long time, been concentrated in poor communities, especially segregated communities and minority communities that have been subject to disinvestment on the part of the state.
So in some sense, when you look at it scientifically, it's not really a surprise when you see occurrences of conflict between these people and the police.
Criminal justice, housing and education reform really need to be coupled to address this issue. That is the message I see from the data.

Courts routinely award damages totalling hundreds of millions of dollars to citizens who have suffered injuries or rights violations from the police. Taxpayers pay most of those costs.
But as the bills pile up, there is no sign that police acknowledge, analyse or learned from their costly mistakes.
In other public service domains - transportation, medicine, child welfare - there are routines for studying what went wrong: warning signs that were missed, lapses in communication, procedures that can be reshaped to prevent future failure.
Why not in law enforcement? Why is there not a collaborative social autopsy of these cases?
Decades of lower crime rates and the racial breach in public confidence in the police present new opportunities to fundamentally rethink the policing model and the profession.
Jeffrey Fagan is an expert in police accountability and a Professor of Law at Columbia University in New York City.
It will take a range of solutions to really address this issue. Policy is a huge part of it and will have a huge impact on police violence.
But ultimately it will also take cultural change to address some of the beliefs and prejudices that allow these deaths to happen and allow the system to not do anything about it.
We need to shift the perception in America that black people are inherently criminal or that black people are inherently deserving of a punitive approach by the state.
We also need to have a broader conversation about what is reasonable force [when making arrests].
You know, in England, you have instances of people armed with knives, or in some cases armed with guns, who are not being killed by police. The police are de-escalating these situations without resulting in deadly force.
That seems to be the expectation. That expectation is currently not the norm in the United States.
It seems to be the norm of the culture here that if someone has a knife, a gun or even a toy gun that it is totally legitimate to kill them. I think that is something that needs to change.
Sam Sinyangwe is a data scientist and activist who founded Mapping Police Violence, which compiles records of police shootings in the United States.
I think the most important thing we need to do, honestly, is to fundamentally reconceptualise what we think the job [of an officer] is about.
For the last three decades, we have thought about the police as an institution focused on public safety and crime reduction.
But that's not all they do. They do a lot of things that are nothing to do with that actually that involve helping citizens and engaging in positive ways,
We need agencies to focus on these things.
If the police are still understanding their primary role as crime reduction, then we are not going to solve this problem.

The Faraday Lecture Block dates back to the 1960s and the university says its "tired and monotonous design" means it has become a bit of an eyesore.
As well as new multi-coloured external glass cladding, the building will have a new entrance hall, extended second floor and improved access.
Work on the 11-month project is due to start in January.
The university said the new look would add vibrancy to the building and the mall area.
The majority of construction will take place during the Easter holidays and summer months.
A spokeswoman said: "It'll create a good impression and reflect the standards that Swansea holds and a professional atmosphere that fits in with the degrees that are taught in that building". | One of the main buildings on Swansea University's Singleton Park campus is to undergo a £2.75m makeover. | 16337914 | [

The 40-year-old, who is based near Malpas in Cheshire, fell from her mount Topwood Beau and was airlifted to Bristol's Southmead Hospital.
British Eventing (BE) said last week she suffered a traumatic brain injury.
In a further update on Monday, BE said she was about to be moved to the neurological ward.
"Emily is progressing steadily, and the family would like to thank everyone for their messages of support and thank Southmead Intensive Care Unit for their wonderful care," it said.
Topwood Beau, a 14-year-old gelding, was uninjured in the fall, which happened at the third fence - Keepers Question - on the cross-country course.
Gilruth, who is married with two young daughters, made her Badminton debut in last year's event.
She has competed in British Eventing competitions for 18 years and runs her own yard. | British rider Emily Gilruth is set to leave intensive care after she was injured in a fall at the Badminton Horse Trials. | 39922965 | [

The former Sharks scrum-half is suing the club for alleged clinical negligence over a concussion injury.
"It puts club medical staff and doctors in a very, very difficult situation," Exeter director of rugby Rob Baxter told BBC Sport.
"If a player can suddenly turn around and start suing a rugby club, at what stage will it stop?"
Baxter added: "I think the majority of past concussion situations have been dealt with very professionally and very well.
"My big concern is, are we going to create - if we are not very careful - a scenario for our medical staff where they are almost having to drag players off the field just in case? That's the big worry for me."
Saracens director of rugby Mark McCall said: "If you put yourself in the shoes of the medic, it's almost an impossible job. Would they want to return someone to the field of play if they have been taken off for an assessment now?"
In 2014 the head injury assessment (HIA) was introduced, replacing the shorter and less comprehensive pitch-side concussion assessment (PSCA).
Any player who has suffered a head injury must have an HIA to determine whether they are fit to return to the field of play.
But McCall feels teams should be able to bring back on players who have been substituted on tactical grounds, in the event of a replacement suffering concussion.
"For us coaches there is the possibility of being reduced to 14 men because a sub fails his concussion test," said McCall.
"That is a ludicrous state of affairs. We want player safety, but it should be like a blood bin and we should be able to bring a replaced player back on the field and make sure teams stay at 15."
Baxter added: "Everything is so grey, that to really protect yourself, you could easily see 10 HIAs in a game. We just have to be a bit careful about where it will end up."
Wasps boss Dai Young said: "The Willis case could set a dangerous precedent. Let's hope it doesn't go down that path, but we all have total trust in our medics.
"We are all fully aware of concussion, but it is putting a lot of pressure on our medics now, and putting them under the microscope."

For many Americans, The Daily Show has become an alternative way of learning about the world.
And Stewart - jabbing his pen, wrong-footing interviewees, delivering impassioned monologues, and yes, cracking a gag or two - has been its biggest draw.
Here are some of his highlights.
At the turn of the century when Jon Stewart, newly-installed host, dubbed his show's US presidential election coverage "Indecision 2000" few knew how apt the name would become.
George W Bush's campaign against then-Vice President Al Gore would last far beyond election day as workers in Florida struggled through recounts and the Supreme Court eventually got involved.
Surrounded by talent like Lewis Black, Steve Carell and Stephen Colbert, Stewart lampooned politicians as well as reporters for taking themselves too seriously.
"After 19 days, and endless court battles, the Florida vote has been certified, giving the state - and presidency - to George W Bush, by a total of 537 votes," he said in one skit.
"Wow. That's a landslide. If you are running for student council treasurer."
In his first broadcast after the 9/11 attacks, Stewart delivered a tearful, highly personal attempt to make sense of the worst terror attacks in US history.
He opened with an apology for "another entertainment show beginning with an overwrought speech of a shaken host and television is nothing if not redundant".
"They said to get back to work. And there were no jobs available for a man in the foetal position under his desk crying," he said, drawing one of the few laughs.
He concluded by saying: "The view from my apartment was the World Trade Centre. Now it's gone."
"But you know what the view is now? The Statue of Liberty. The view from the south of Manhattan is the Statue of Liberty. You can't beat that."
In 2006, Stewart was given a gift in the form of a bizarre incident where then US Vice President Dick Cheney accidentally shot and injured a companion, Harry Whittington, while on a quail hunt.
Stewart noted that Whittington was the first person to be shot by a US vice president since Alexander Hamilton was shot by Aaron Burr in 1804.
"Hamilton [was] of course shot in a duel with Aaron Burr over issues of honour, integrity and political manoeuvring. Whittington? Mistaken for a bird."
The financial crisis was at its peak in 2009. Markets slumped, with commentators comparing the crash to the Great Depression of the 1930s.
For several episodes, Stewart criticised business network CNBC for failing to predict the collapse of major US financial institutions or question their soundness, culminating in an angry exchange with one of the network's bullish hosts, Jim Cramer.
"You knew what the banks were doing, and yet you were touting it for months and months. The entire network was," Stewart said.
"And so now to pretend that this was some sort of crazy, once-in-a-lifetime tsunami that no-one could have seen coming, is disingenuous at best and criminal at worst."
Barack Obama has made several appearances on the show, for the first time as a youthful, grinning state senator for Illinois in 2005.
"The only person more over-hyped than me is you," Obama quipped.
And in a sign of the show's, and its guest's, rise to prominence, he appeared again in 2010 as the first US president to be a guest of The Daily Show.
Stewart needled the president over how the optimism of his campaign had become mired in the reality of day-to-day politics, asking if his campaign slogan should have been "yes we can, given certain conditions".
Welcoming her into the studio to broad applause, Stewart said it was an honour to meet teenage activist Malala Yousafzai, who was shot by a member of the Taliban in Pakistan.
She told Stewart that if she were to meet the man who shot her, she would tell him how important education is, and that she wants education for his children as well.
Stewart was touched: "I know your father is back stage, and he is very proud of you, but would he be mad if I adopted you? Because you sure are swell."
Years on from 9/11, Stewart again had to respond to a horrific act of violence, in this case one that attacked the freedom of satirists themselves.
"[It is a] stark reminder that for the most part, the legislators and journalists and institutions we jab and ridicule are not in any way the enemy," he said.
"For however frustrating or outraged the back-forth becomes, it's still a back-and-forth conversation among those on, let's call it 'Team Civilization'." | The Daily Show, whose host Jon Stewart is stepping down after 16 years at the helm, is a comedy programme, yet regular viewers know that laughs are just one part of it. | 31419934 | [

But thanks to the controversy around gifts to David Cameron from his mother, IHT is now under the political spotlight.
Just 40,100 families - that's around 8% of estates - will pay any IHT at all in 2016/17, according to the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR).
Thanks to rising house prices, that number is set to rise over the next few years, but much more slowly than was originally expected.
That's because the chancellor, George Osborne, has finally been able to make changes to IHT - changes that were blocked by the Liberal Democrats during the years of coalition government.
So how does IHT work - and what reforms are already in the pipeline?
If you pass on property, or anything else of monetary value, to your descendants, you will pay IHT, but only if the total value exceeds £325,000 in 2016/17.
Anything above that amount will incur tax at 40%.
Since married or civil partners can transfer assets free of tax between each other, one partner automatically inherits the other's allowance.
So in practice, the IHT allowance is often doubled to £650,000.
In other words, if a father passes wealth to a mother, who subsequently also dies, she can pass on up to £650,000 without having to pay IHT.
From April 2017, the government will introduce a new Transferable Main Residence Allowance (TMRA), to help people pass on property to their descendants.
Initially this will be set at £100,000, rising to £175,000 by 2020/21.
When added to the IHT threshold of £325,000, it will allow each individual to pass on £425,000 with no tax payable - or £850,000 per couple.
By 2021, the tax-free limit will be £500,000 each, or £1m for married or civil partners.
Further details of TMRA can be found here
Even if a parent sets up a trust in favour of a child, inheritance tax is still payable. In most cases, IHT will be charged at 20% on money or property when it goes into the trust, if it exceeds the IHT allowance.
If the parent dies within seven years, an additional 20% is charged, to equal the 40% non-trust rate.
In addition, assets within a trust are usually re-assessed every ten years, to take account of changing property valuations, for example.
Under the existing rules, you can pass on money, property or possessions without paying any tax, as long as you survive for seven years after giving it to the recipient.
If you die within the seven year period, and you gift more than the allowance, a taper system exists. If you die six years after making the gift, for example, you will only pay 8% IHT. See table below.
In addition you can give up to £250 a year to as many people as you like without paying tax.
Usually it is the estate which is liable for IHT. However if you are the recipient of a gift, and the giver has died within 7 years, and has already given away more than £325,000, you could be liable to pay IHT yourself.
More details on gifts
Anyone can give away up to £3,000 a year, and pay no tax. This is known as the annual exemption. If unused, this allowance can be carried over to the following year, up to a maximum of £6,000.
In addition, if you can show that the gift was funded out of income - as opposed to savings - you will not pay IHT. But you may have to prove that the living standards of the deceased person were not reduced as a result.
The rules around wedding - or civil partnership - gifts are different again. Providing the gifts are made at the time of the wedding, there are allowances as follows: | Very few people pay inheritance tax (IHT) and it raises relatively little money for the Treasury. | 36014533 | [

The firm, which has had a presence in the city for more than 30 years, says it follows a restructuring review.
The office will shut later this year but a new "commercial trading site" will open in the city in September. Staff are to be offered redeployment around the UK, a spokesman said.
Union Unite called it a "big blow" for the finance sector in Birmingham.
Regional secretary, Gerard Coyne, said: "[Royal Sun Alliance] have made us aware of their intention to close the Birmingham office.
Updates on this and more from Birmingham and Black Country
"We will now enter into discussions with them and try to get them to review their decision in Birmingham as it's a big blow to our members and the finance and insurance sector in the city."
Royal Sun Alliance told staff on Wednesday that 190 jobs were at risk of redundancy but was "committed" to staying in the city. It has been at its current site in Colmore Row for 20 years.
A spokesman said the firm's review showed it could work more effectively "if teams doing the same kind of work, or focused on the same kinds of customers, are situated together".
"Unfortunately, a number of our employees will be impacted by these changes and we will be working closely with them over the next few months and will look to redeploy our people wherever possible." | One of the UK's biggest insurers Royal Sun Alliance is to close its Birmingham office, putting 190 jobs at risk. | 35428023 | [

The study by a number of Welsh universities showed under-15s were five times more likely to need hospital care than non-diabetic children.
Academics said treating the condition was complex and "poor management" can lead to medical emergencies.
The Welsh government is working to improve the situation.
Type 1 diabetes is where the pancreas does not produce any insulin and it is more common in childhood than type 2, according to the NHS Choices website.
Experts from Cardiff University, Swansea University, the University of Bristol, Bangor University and Cardiff's University Hospital of Wales looked at the data of 95% of all young people in Wales with type 1 diabetes.
They said money should be spent on improving ongoing care with diagnosed cases rising 3-4% a year.
Prof Reinhard Holl, paediatric diabetologist from the University of Ulm, Germany, said: "Hospitalisation keeps children out of school and away from their families and friends.
"In addition, costs to the health care system are high, money which should be invested to improve continuous outpatient management and family support for those affected."
The Welsh government helped to fund the research, which studied 1,577 Welsh children with the condition.
It has launched a strategy, Together for Health - a Diabetes Action Plan, to improve health care.
"We have prioritised children's services in our diabetes delivery plan, and established an all Wales paediatric diabetes network, so that all 14 centres can share the latest research and ensure that they all deliver the same high quality care," a spokesperson added.
Ten-year-old Molly, from Wrexham, was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes six months ago and since then she has become more anxious, according to her mother.
Malissa, 35, said her daughter was now less carefree.
She said: "Molly doesn't enjoy having her insulin injections and would gladly wish her condition away.
"She felt embarrassed at first and still feels different, especially when other kids have bigger snacks than her."
Asked if she was worried about her daughter having to go into hospital, she said "all the time".
"Because I know it's more of a possibility now - it's every parent's worse nightmare," she added. | Action to reduce the number of Welsh children with type 1 diabetes from being admitted to hospital is needed as cases continue to rise, experts warn. | 32292922 | [

Korean firm Doosan Power Systems is to locate a research centre in Renfrew employing up to 200 people.
It also wants to build a manufacturing plant in Scotland, creating up to 500 direct jobs and 1,000 supply-side jobs.
Renfrew-based Steel Engineering aims to double its 120 staff by opening a new plant and building a mini-port for ships on the River Clyde.
By Douglas FraserBBC Scotland Business and Economy Editor
It's taken a lot of huffing and puffing, but at last the economic wind turbine is turning.
And it looks good for Clydeside that it has attracted four large multi-national firms to locate key bases there.
Mitsubishi and Scottish & Southern Energy have a joint centre for engineering excellence in Glasgow, Iberdrola has opted to put its international renewables planning centre near its ScottishPower subsidiary. Also from Spain, Gamesa has opted for Glasgow as a research base, while looking at Dundee for manufacturing and logistic support.
The biggest commitment so far is from Doosan Power Systems, a subsidiary of the vast Doosan conglomerate based in South Korea. It is new into the wind turbine business, though it's not new to green energy research, as a partner with Scottish & Southern Energy on early stages of commercialising carbon capture and storage.
The research and development centre comes first, with 500 jobs to follow in a turbine manufacturing plant. So far Scotland's only had one such plant, near Campbeltown, and it's had a troubled couple of years, with three owners. So Doosan's statement of intent is a sign that the green jobs potential and hopes may be moving towards reality.
The jobs announcements were made by both companies, who were visited by First Minister Alex Salmond.
Doosan intends to locate its research and development centre for renewables at its current site at Westway in Renfrew, creating up to 200 jobs.
The Korean firm is also in talks with the business development agency, Scottish Enterprise, to set up manufacturing and assembly facilities in Scotland - its favoured location for wind turbine development and production.
Doosan expects its offshore wind plans in Scotland to create up to 1,700 new jobs.
The firm aims to directly recruit about 700 new staff, with a further 1,000 employed in associated supply companies.
In a separate announcement, Steel Engineering, which is also based at Westway in Renfrew, said it aimed to create 120 jobs by expanding its business servicing a range of clean energy sectors, including offshore wind, wave and tidal power.
The firm is getting a £1.8m government grant towards the £3m investment.
Steel Engineering is also in talks with Skills Development Scotland about developing a training school with Anniesland College in Glasgow.
This would aim to provide training tailored to the latest fabrication techniques, and welding procedures required by the renewables industry.
Mr Salmond said both announcements were "great news for Renfrew and for the wider Scottish economy".
He described the Doosan initiatives as "another great stride forward for the renewables industry in Scotland - which is now the chosen destination for three energy engineering giants to design their next generation of turbines to service the global offshore wind industry".
The first minister added: "Scotland also plays a key role in the energy industry supply chain and Steel Engineering are an excellent example of how Scottish companies with great experience servicing the offshore oil and gas industry have been building the renewables side of their business." | Expansion plans by two engineering firms could create 820 new jobs in Scotland's renewable energy sector. | 12817789 | [

Dumfries Sheriff Court was told that the dangerous contraption could have caused damage, a fire or injury.
Tessa Banks, 33, denied making or knowingly having the device in a flat in Queen Street between November 2015 and March last year.
But a jury found her guilty of the charge at the end of a three day trial.
The court heard that the alarm was raised by a friend of Banks, who told police she had been shown the device.
She said she was concerned over what might happen or that someone might get hurt.
A bomb disposal expert travelled from Edinburgh to make the device safe.
Sheriff Brian Mohan deferred sentence on Banks for a month for background reports. | A bomb disposal expert called to a flat in Dumfries discovered a homemade device made from three fireworks wrapped in a sock, a court heard. | 38534345 | [

FAW officials have yet to decide how to commemorate the occasion after Fifa could not guarantee that there would not be disciplinary proceedings if a poppy was displayed.
England and Scotland will defy Fifa's ban on players wearing poppies in their meeting on Friday.
With the FAW yet decide their policy, Ledley said: ''We will support whatever decision they make.''
Fifa's regulations say players' equipment should not carry any commercial, personal, political or religious messages.
When the issue arose in 2011, a compromise was reached in which Wales players were allowed to wear armbands with the poppy symbol in a friendly against Norway.
Northern Ireland will mark Armistice Day by wearing plain black armbands in the World Cup qualifier against Azerbaijan in Belfast.
The Irish FA had requested permission from Fifa to wear a poppy on the shirt or armband.
Breaching Fifa regulations could result in a fine or even a loss of points and the FAW are set to leave a decision until as late as possible.
They have already planned a two minute silence during training on Armistice Day's on Friday and there will also be a tribute at the game regardless of whether poppies are worn.
Crystal Palace's Ledley said Wales' players are content to leave the decision over poppies to the Football Association of Wales.
''It is obviously out of our hands. It is dealt with by the FA of Wales," Ledley added.
"It is down to them too take the decision. We will support whatever decision they make.
''As players our job is just to concentrate on the game, I am sure the FAW will make the right decision.'' | Midfielder Joe Ledley believes the Football Association of Wales will make the ''right decision'' on how best to mark Armistice Day in the World Cup qualifier against Serbia. | 37926194 | [

The trees swayed, the rain battered the domed roof of the headquarters building and, given the lecture he'd just delivered to African leaders from their own pulpit, it might well have been the ghosts of dictators past rattling the rafters.
He talked about democracy and the "cancer of corruption," but the words which reverberated across the continent were an off-script put-down of leaders who "refuse to step aside when their terms end".
The audience cheered, but not surprisingly the assembly's seats weren't filled by the continent's presidents.
Instead it was the AU's commission he addressed - its secretariat.
That was always the plan according to the White House.
Journalists and commentators had been salivating at the prospect of America's first black president meeting Africa's oldest.
Robert Mugabe, who's 91, is the AU chairman, and the speech would have rattled the rafters from the inside if the heads of state had been present.
"I love my work, but under our constitution I can't run again," President Obama said.
"I actually think I'm a pretty good president - I think if I ran again I could win."
That's probably not true - given he's only half as popular back in the US as he is in Kenya, the first stop on a trip hailed as a homecoming.
"I don't understand why people want to stay so long, especially when they've got a lot of money," he mocked, to the loudest cheer of the day.
Third-termism is catching. It's already made a comeback in Burundi, caused a government to collapse in Burkina Faso, and appears on the cards in Rwanda, the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Republic of the Congo.
And the three elder statesmen of the AU have racked up a hundred years in power between them.
Presidents Teodoro Obiang of Equatorial Guinea (36), Mugabe of Zimbabwe (35), and Paul Biya of Cameroon (33) are the longest standing of those leaders on the continent who aren't so keen on giving up the trappings of office.
"Sometimes you will hear a leader say 'I'm the only person who can keep the nation together'. If that's true that leader has failed to truly build the nation," President Obama said in the last speech of his Africa trip, and arguably his best.
He emphasised the defining themes of his visit - the significance of security, particularly the fight against extremism; trade replacing aid; the importance of youth and women, human rights and democracy; and the battle against corruption.
They were points you could tick off from every speech from his very first in Kenya, where he opened the Global Entrepreneurship Summit emphasising trade and promising investment.
With him on the trip were American businessmen and at least one billionaire.
He made sure to visit successful start-up companies, among them one developing a solar lighting system to bring power to the remotest of villages.
Power Africa is one of his headline programmes, but has so far failed to achieve much.
Big slow-burning fuses in infrastructure, agriculture, trade and young leadership are what he's staking his legacy on.
Presidents Clinton and Bush ploughed huge sums into Africa to tackle Aids and malaria - massive health challenges that needed the dollars.
China is now the largest single investor in Africa and spares the AU a lecture, but President Obama hopes he can create long-lasting change - providing "not the fish, but the fishing rod" as he put it.
His supporters say his African legacy may take time to build, but will bear fruit, and it's obvious he's keen to spend more time on the continent once he's left office.
"I'll be honest with you," he told the AU. "I'm looking forward to life after being the president. I won't have this big security detail all the time… and I can visit Africa more often."
Coming to Kenya while president was an important part of plotting out that future.
He bounded down the stairs from Air Force One in Nairobi, and the video clips of him dancing at the State Dinner showed the passion he has for his "ancestral home".
And it was great PR for Kenya.
Terror attacks have hit the country's reputation hard and the first ever visit by a sitting American president did a great deal to improve that global image.
There was real Obama-mania on the streets of Nairobi, despite the high security and grumbling over road closures.
And he didn't pull his punches there either - publicly clashing with President Uhuru Kenyatta over gay rights.
President Obama's renewed engagement with Africa began late in his presidency, by gathering the continent's leaders in Washington last year, amid accusations he was playing catch-up with China.
America's commitment to resolving the crisis in South Sudan looks unlikely to succeed in the short term as it becomes increasingly complicated and difficult to undo.
But it's the long game where President Obama, "Kenya's first American president" as he called himself, will best be judged. | As President Obama finished his speech to the African Union (AU) in Addis Ababa last month and stepped off the stage, a tempest whipped up outside. | 33910293 | [

In July, Michael Gove raised the possibility of early release for those who gained skills and qualifications.
Led by head teacher Dame Sally Coates, the inquiry will report early in 2016.
It will also consider the greater use of technology and the "direct engagement" of employers in shaping prisoners' learning.
Prison Reform Trust director Juliet Lyon said: "Providing people with the knowledge and skills to help them lead a law-abiding life on release should be a central aim of a modern and effective penal system."
Mr Gove said: "We have more than 80,000 adults in our custody.
"One of the most important things we can do once they are inside the prison walls is to make sure that they get the literacy and numeracy skills they need to make them employable and positive contributors to society once released.
"For those serving longer sentences, education and training is a key part of their rehabilitation.
"We must have the right incentives for prisoners to learn and for prison staff to make sure that education is properly prioritised.
"I want to see prisoners motivated to engage in their own learning, and governors with the right tools to be more demanding and creative about the education provided in the prisons they run.
"I have seen some excellent examples of innovation and visionary organisations providing prisoners with education opportunities and qualifications they actually need to help secure a job on release. But I want to see more."
In a speech in July to the Prisoner Learning Alliance, Mr Gove called for an end to the "idleness and futility" of prison life.
He said the inability of prisoners to read properly or master basic mathematics made them prime candidates for reoffending.
A system of "earned release" would be a major change from the current policy where most prisoners are automatically released on licence half way through their sentences.
In July, Mr Gove said he recognised "technical and complex policy questions" about how such a change could be implemented. | The justice secretary has ordered a review to consider the "incentivisation of prisoners to participate in, attend and achieve at education". | 34185458 | [

Nine men were arrested over a pitch invasion and flares being thrown during City's 3-0 loss at Sixfields.
The club has said that the "repeated disruptions" were "unacceptable".
A Sky Blue Trust statement said: "We do not condone anti-social and illegal acts such as the throwing of smoke bombs and multiple pitch invasions."
The statement continued: "We do understand, however, that it was entirely the result of frustration and desperation and that many supporters are simply at the end of their tethers feeling powerless and ignored.
"While peaceful protests and petitions have attracted national attention and sympathy, they have seemingly been ignored by Sisu and [chairman] Tim Fisher and this once great club is in now in total disarray and turmoil.
"The scenes were ugly but borne of desperation and passion. The Trust urges all fans to keep any protests lawful and ensure these scenes are not be repeated."
Coventry fans have held a number of protests against the club's owners this season, with December's EFL Trophy second round win over Crawley attracting a record-low home crowd.

The 37-year-old American has been hired as a linebacker coach for pre-season by Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians.
He said it didn't matter if a coach was "the Green Hornet" as long as players felt he or she could help them improve.
Welter, who spent 14 seasons as a professional American football player, added: "I'm honoured to be a part of this amazing team."
Arians said he had spoken to his squad about Welter and insisted "they were all very cool" with her appointment.
He added: "I thought she was the type of person that could handle this in a very positive way for women and open that door.
"It's not going to be a distraction in any way."
Welter, who has a master's degree in sports psychology, became the first female to play in a non-kicking position in a men's professional league.
She was a running back and special teams player for Indoor Football League team Texas Revolution in February 2014.
Welter also played as a linebacker for 14 seasons with the Dallas Diamonds in the Women's Football Alliance.
She was also the first woman to coach in a men's professional league after training the Revolution last season.
Welter's appointment is another significant moment for women's sport and US professional sports.
Becky Hammon, an assistant coach for the NBA's San Antonio Spurs last season, served as head coach for the team's developmental summer league team and led them to a championship earlier this month. | Jen Welter has become the first female coach in the NFL after being appointed by the Arizona Cardinals. | 33685457 | [

The former Doctor Who actress, from Inverness, joins US stars Kevin Hart, Jack Black and Dwayne Johnson, aka The Rock, in the new production.
Her casting follows her securing a bigger role in Guardians of the Galaxy.
Starring the late Robin Williams, Jumanji involves a magical board game and is regarded by fans as a classic.
In posts on Instagram, Hart and Johnson welcomed Gillan, who studied drama at Eden Court in Inverness, to "the Jumanji family".
Johnson wrote: "I'm proud to announce a girl who's playing the most important role in our movie - the talented, beautiful and down for a Scottish fight at any time, Karen Gillan.
"And yes, this is the girl who is so bad ass she shaved her freaking head for Guardians Of The Galaxy.
"We start production next month in Hawaii and as many of you already know, this isn't a remake or reboot, but a continuation of the awesome Jumanji story we love."
Gillan shaved her head to play blue-skinned space pirate Nebula in 2014's Guardians of the Galaxy.
She has returned to the role for next year's Guardians of the Galaxy, Volume Two. Its director James Gunn said Gillan will have more screen time in the sequel. | Scottish actress Karen Gillan has been cast in a new film that has been described as a follow up story to the 1990s box office hit, Jumanji. | 37229831 | [

Wes Morgan remains out with a back injury and Nampalys Mendy is a doubt.
Xherdan Shaqiri is set to miss an eighth straight game for Stoke with a calf problem, despite starting for Switzerland last Saturday.
Phil Bardsley is out after his red card against Chelsea, while Geoff Cameron's thigh problem will be monitored.
Glen Johnson and Jack Butland both remain sidelined, although the latter is back in training after a long-term ankle injury.
Steve Wilson: "With Craig Shakespeare bidding to become the first British manager to win his first four Premier League games, Leicester suddenly look to be only a couple of victories away from safety.
"How they would love to have those points chalked up before tackling Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.
"Stoke are having another very creditable season; ninth place again at the moment - the position in which they have finished each of the last three seasons.
"Mark Hughes would have particularly enjoyed their point at Manchester City in their last away game, but would probably concede that they have, at times, been too accommodating on their travels - registering wins at only Hull, Watford and Sunderland."

Leicester manager Craig Shakespeare: "With all the records, I'm very conscious you have to keep a bit of humility about it.
"We know that it wasn't so long ago that our form was being questioned.
"We know that at the moment we are playing with a lot of confidence, but that word 'humility' has to be important from my point of view towards the players to keep them level-headed. We also (like) to make sure there is no complacency."
Stoke manager Mark Hughes: "It's difficult to win away games in the Premier League. The most we've achieved in a season is six.
"More often then not we take games to the opposition and look to win. We'll see where that takes us over the remainder of the season.
"Leicester are playing well at the moment. They are a fully committed side. We need to ensure their key players don't have an impact."
I fancy the Foxes to win this. Stoke have had some mixed results of late, and although they won't roll over I don't see them stopping Leicester's momentum.

On Monday, the Supreme Court declared all the actions of the assembly null and void until they stood down.
The three legislators say they agreed to leave the legislature to break the continuing stand-off.
Without the seats, the opposition loses a critical two-thirds majority.
The so-called "super-majority" would would allow the opposition to put a more effective challenge to the government of Nicolas Maduro.
They would be able to change the constitution and appoint new Supreme Court judges.
"We completely reject that ruling," said the three legislators on a letter that was read in parliament.
But their decision would "help free parliament from the institutional ambush they want to lead it into," they added.
The request by the three legislators - Julio Haron Ygarza, Nirma Guarulla and Romel Guzamana - was approved by the opposition-held assembly.
Members of the pro-government bloc celebrated the decision as "a victory for the people".
"We applaud this move, which puts the National Assembly back within the framework of legality," said pro-government legislator Hector Rodriguez.
The newly-elected National Assembly had defied the Supreme Court ruling, swearing in the suspended legislators last week.
Four lawmakers were barred by the Supreme Court - three from the opposition and one allied with the government - after the Socialist Party alleged irregularities during the 6 December vote for a new assembly.
The opposition claimed the the ruling was designed to strip it of the crucial two-thirds majority.
Without the four legislators, the opposition has 109 seats and the government 54. With the four banned legislators, the opposition gets the 112 seats it needs to reach the so-called "super-majority".
The four politicians are all from the rural and sparsely populated south-western state of Amazonas.

Wolverhampton City Council said in 2014 the authority faced the prospect of "becoming insolvent", unless it made "very deep and very fast cuts".
The Labour-run council approved plans on Wednesday to cut a number of services, including neighbourhood wardens, and increase council tax.
However, unions said they feared service standards would drop.
The council said the scale of cuts it would need to make by 2019 had risen to £134m - an increase on the £123m it predicted in 2014.
The authority said this was "largely due" to the rising costs of children's services, pay and pensions, and continuing government cuts.
In 2014, it announced it would have to cut 1,400 jobs and make massive service reductions or it would be down to its last £620,000 and "bankrupt shortly after".
Cabinet member for resources Andrew Johnson said: "We are now realistically looking at the prospect of becoming insolvent unless we make cuts."
The council said it had moved on "dramatically" since that announcement.
"This no longer reflects where we are," it said, in a statement. "The council has made it abundantly clear that it will do what was required to balance the books."
However, Wendy Thompson, leader of the Conservative group, said the authority had simply pushed its debt repayments back to give itself some "breathing space".
"That's they only way they are staving off this situation," she said.
"Their priorities over the years have been 'spend, spend, spend'. It's an unhappy situation for Wolverhampton. Our poor residents have a city centre that has so much dereliction and so many empty shops.
"We desperately need to turn the city around."
On Wednesday, the council agreed to axe the neighbourhood wardens service, despite a 4,500-signature petition from the public, and raise council tax by 1.99%.
Council leader Roger Lawrence said: "The savage cuts from central government that continue to unfairly target areas like Wolverhampton have made it impossible to continue to offer the level of services the city deserves."
Nick Keleher, secretary of the TUC in Wolverhampton, said the wardens did a "very useful job".
"The petition forced a debate in the council but now it is intending to cut the service despite the public campaign," he said.
"A lot of services have already been cut or transferred to the private sector.
"I have seen colleagues who have lost their jobs with the council move into the private sector. They have been very disappointed with the standards."
The government said: "Every bit of the public sector needs to do its bit to pay off deficit left by the last administration, including local government."
It said Wolverhampton's spending had increased during its time in office. | A council that said it feared becoming "bankrupt" has agreed to make a further £46m of cuts by 2019. | 31751486 | [

Earlier Prime Minister David Cameron attended the main celebration at Cleethorpes in North East Lincolnshire.
It featured an aerobatic display by the Red Arrows, a Battle of Britain Memorial Flight and parachute display by the Royal Navy, Army and RAF.
On Monday, a flag-raising ceremony was held at City Hall, in London, to mark this year's events.

Alex Baxter, armed forces champion for North East Lincolnshire, said: "Hosting Armed Forces Day will give our residents and others in the region an unparalleled opportunity to show their support and appreciation for serving and former armed forces personnel."
The main celebration also included a display of military vehicles, including the Sandown-class mine countermeasures vessel HMS Blyth, the AS90 artillery tank and the Warrior and Terrier armoured vehicles.
North East Lincolnshire Council leader Ray Oxby said: "Our local Armed Forces Day has previously attracted more than 60,000 people into the area for the weekend to recognise our past and serving military personnel, and I've no doubt that figure will be dwarfed by hosting the national day." | Tributes were paid to service personnel at hundreds of events around the UK on Armed Forces Day. | 36628767 | [

On Wednesday, the electric carmaker reported a first quarter loss of $282m (£195m) up from $154m last year.
The loss was in line with investors' expectations, and the announcement that it was increasing production sent its shares up 4% in after-hours trading.
Tesla had been struggling to ramp up production of its cars including its newest Model X SUV.
Production of the Model X rose from 507 in the fourth quarter of 2015 to 2,659 in the first quarter of 2016.
The company confirmed it was on track to deliver 80,000 to 90,000 electric vehicles this year.
Tesla said it had seen demand rise across all its models, especially its Model 3 - the carmaker's first mass-market product.
Deliveries of the Model 3 are due to hit the market in 2017 and the company received 325,000 orders for the car within a week of announcing it. This could result in $14bn in future sales.
To meet that demand Tesla has cut two years off its timeline for ramping up production.
"Increasing production five-fold over the next two years will be challenging and will likely require some additional capital, but this is our goal," chief executive Elon Musk said in a latter to investors.
Tesla said its capital expenditure - money spent to grow the company - would probably increase by 50%.
Some investors have been concerned about Tesla's cash flow. The company has been spending money to increase its manufacturing facilities.
Though it has seen orders rise, the carmaker has yet to make a profit.
Since the start of the year Tesla has faced some production hurdles.
A shortage of parts for its Model X stalled production in January and February.
On Wednesday, Tesla announced two of its manufacturing heads were stepping down from their roles.
Greg Reichow, vice president of production will take a leave of absence as soon as a successor can be found.
Josh Ensign, vice-president of manufacturing, is also leaving the company. | Tesla Motors says it is on track to produce 500,000 vehicles in 2018, two years earlier than expected. | 36209248 | [

Another 10 police officers also charged in the case have already died.
The policemen were found guilty of staging a pre-arranged extrajudicial killing known as a fake encounter.
Encounters are partly a response to India's slow and dysfunctional criminal justice system, correspondents say.
Police often see cases evaporate as trials are delayed and witnesses turn hostile.
The latest high-profile case to come to court dates back 25 years ago to when a group of Sikh families, including children, was travelling by bus through the state Uttar Pradesh in northern India after visiting holy sites.
Police officers stopped the bus in Pilibhit and forced some of the men to get out.
Later, joined by more policemen, they divided the Sikh men into groups, led them into the jungle and shot them dead.
Why India's 'fake encounters' are shockingly common
Afterwards, police lied about what happened. They claimed that the men were militants and armed - at the time, there had been a spate of attacks in the region by Sikh groups fighting for a separate homeland.
The Central Bureau for Investigation (CBI) said that the motive for the killings was to earn awards and recognition for killing "terrorists", NDTV reported.
The court in sentencing the men said that police officers who were holding important posts must be behind the killings , but the CBI had kept them away from the investigation, The Indian Express reported,
The court said that the CBI officer investigating the case was not fully free to take decisions relating to it without constantly referring to his senior officers and that several people who should have been accused were instead set free or not charged.
Relatives of those killed protested outside the courtroom against the sentences, which they argued were too lenient.
"We are not satisfied with the judgment. The accused should be given death sentences. We will file an appeal," Balvinder Jeet Kaur, whose husband Baljeet Singh died in the encounter, told the Indian Express. | Forty-seven police officers have been sentenced to life in prison by a special court in India for killing 10 Sikh pilgrims in 1991 and then lying in an attempt to justify the shootings. | 35965553 | [

It was part of Czechoslovakia until the "velvet divorce" in January 1993.
Having uncoupled itself from its western neighbour, Slovakia at first struggled to prove itself as an independent democracy, but by the time of the twentieth anniversary of the "velvet divorce" in January 2013, it had come to be seen as one of Europe's biggest success stories.
Slovakia joined the EU in 2004 and the eurozone in 2009. Its forces have taken part in the Nato-led operation in Afghanistan, and in peacekeeping duties in Kosovo.
Slovakia has a significant Romany population which suffers disproportionately high levels of poverty and social deprivation.
Population 5.5 million
Area 49,033 sq km (18,932 sq miles)
Major language Slovak
Major religion Christianity
Life expectancy 72 years (men), 80 years (women)
Currency euro
President: Andrej Kiska
Philanthropist and former businessman Andrej Kiska (pictured right) was elected president in 2014.
He won a run-off election against the country's social democratic prime minister, Robert Fico, whose defeat was considered highly significant: if he had become head of state, his party would have controlled the presidency as well as the government.
Mr Kiska campaigned on the need to have a healthy balance of power between the president and the cabinet, and called for a strengthening of the independence of the judiciary where the president appoints important personnel.
The presidency is largely ceremonial, but the president has the power to pick the prime minister, appoint Constitutional Court judges and veto laws. A parliamentary majority can override vetoes.
Prime minister: Robert Fico
Robert Fico (above left) was asked to form a new coalition government after his party won the most seats in the parliamentary election in March 2016 .
He had already served as prime minister since April 2012.
A left-wing deputy in the Slovak parliament since 1992, and a former member of the Communist party, he had previously served as deputy chairman of the Party of the Democratic Left (SDL).
He left the SDL in 1999 to establish Direction (Smer), which later merged with other parties to become Smer-Social Democracy.
He first became prime minister in July 2006 and held the post until July 2010. Although Smer-SD won the most seats in the June 2010 election, he was unable to form a government and went into opposition. Smer-SD won a landslide victory in the March 2012 election, becoming the first party since independence to win an outright majority in parliament.
With two powerful domestic financial groups now owning, either directly or indirectly, the majority of media outlets, fears of potential political pressure have increased.
In particular, "oligarchisation" is seen as having a negative impact on domestic investigative journalism.
Television and radio remain the most popular media.
Some key dates in the history of Slovakia:
1918-1992 - Republic of Czechoslovakia includes Czech, Slovak and Ruthenian lands. The "velvet divorce" results in two independent countries, the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
2004 - Slovakia joins Nato and European Union.
2009 - Slovakia adopts the euro. | Right at the heart of Europe and with a history intertwined with that of its neighbours, Slovakia has proudly preserved its own language and distinct cultural traditions. | 17847682 | [

Frontrunners Donald Trump and Ben Carson, with no political experience, were under attack from the start.
Ohio Governor John Kasich condemned their "fantasy tax plans" and added: "We can't elect someone who doesn't know how to do the job."
Mr Carson, a retired neurosurgeon who has edged past Mr Trump in national polls, had a quiet night in Boulder.
His tax proposal, which is based on biblical tithes, was decried by Mr Kasich, who also dismissed Mr Trump's plan to deport 11 million undocumented immigrants and build a wall on the Mexico border.
The five key confrontations
Political friendships were strained by some of the testy exchanges, notably one between former Florida Governor Jeb Bush and Florida Senator Marco Rubio.
Mr Bush urged Mr Rubio, once his protege, to resign from the Senate because of his poor voting record.
The media were also in the firing line - Texas Senator Ted Cruz got the night's biggest applause when he attacked the hosts, CNBC for stirring confrontation.
"The questions that have been asked so far in this debate illustrate why the American people don't trust the media. This is not a cage match."
The hostility against CNBC continued after the debate when Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus complained about the "gotcha questions".
Twin contests played out on the stage in Colorado - a fight to become the candidate of the Republican establishment and a battle to become the standard bearer of the radical right.
In the first contest, Jeb Bush delivered another listless performance that will deeply worry his donors, and a premeditated decision to attack his friend and rival Marco Rubio for absenteeism from his day job as the Florida senator backfired badly. It seemed so contrived, as Rubio, a big winner tonight, deftly pointed out.
In the establishment contest, it was the defining exchange of the night, and will enhance Rubio's growing stature and further diminish Bush. The New Jersey Governor Chris Christie also outstripped Bush.
As for a rumble in the Rockies between Donald Trump and the candidate who dislodged him in the polls, Ben Carson, it never unfolded. Trump was low-key - it seemed almost that he is tiring of the process. Carson disappeared for much of the debate.
Perhaps sensing a chance to impose himself, the Texas Senator Ted Cruz delivered an impassioned attack on the moderators of the debate and the media more broadly for its liberal bias. Speaking of his born-again father will have impressed evangelicals. This was the best two hours of the Cruz campaign so far.
But the main headline of the evening comes from Jeb Bush. He needed to energise his troubled campaign tonight, and he failed abysmally.
Other highlights included:
The four lowest-polling Republican candidates squared off in an early debate.
Lindsey Graham, a senator from South Carolina, got the most laughs, especially when he said Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders "went to the Soviet Union on his honeymoon and I don't think he ever came back".
